LIONS KICKING
THEMSELVES
SamFicken had al-
ready missed three field
goals. Had an extra point
blocked. And now there
was rain. And fans scream-
ing at himas loud as they
could still manage, chant-
ing his uniformnumber --
Nine-ty-Sev-en! -- in
their best sing-song tone.
The noise intensified. The
snap was low. The kick
hooked wide left. Penn
State fell
to 0-2.

BENCH COMES OFF
THE BENCH
Bll OBrien said be-
fore the season that Paul
Jones would play. He just
didnt say at which posi-
tion.
When Matt McGloin was
forced into the locker
room in the second quar-
ter with an elbow injury, it
was not Jones who took
the field to replace him,
but true freshman Steven
Bench.
The reason, OBrien
said after the game, was
because Jones had been
practicing at Penn States
F tight end position.
Jones, once one of the
countrys highest-rated
signal-callers coming out
of high school, will still
practice at quarterback
as well. But as the third-
stringer. PAGE 6C

If Wilkes-Barre operations di-
rector Butch Frati was granted a
money-is-no-object flood-control
wish, he would redo all the walls
lining three of the five creeks
winding through the city and buy
several new pumps.
West Pittston Mayor Tony De-
nisco would choose a levee for-
tress to keep
the Susque-
hanna River
away from
homes.
Exeter area
resident Tom
Barnard wants
a new pump-
ing station for
Hicks Creek.
Duryea
Mayor Keith
Moss would
raise the levee
in his borough
several feet.
Totaling
hundreds of
millions of dol-
lars combined,
the projects will either never hap-
pen or take years and even dec-
ades to come to fruition.
The state and federal govern-
ments generally provide funds to
repair damage caused by flood-
ing, but obtaining big bucks to
maintain, enhance or build new
flood-control systems is an uphill
battle, officials say.
Hope for funding is further
dampened by government cut-
backs and competition from oth-
er flood-prone communities
across the state and nation.
The regions flood-control re-
quest list is expansive because
more than 800 miles of water-
ways flow through Luzerne
County, including the Susque-
hanna, which swelled to a record
height one year ago.
The hilly terrain also makes
low-lying areas more susceptible
to stormwater flooding.
Funding
to control
flooding
is elusive
Officials: Its hard to get money
to maintain, enhance or build
new flood-control systems.

Also killed were Bradley Swart-
wood, 21, of Nanticoke, and Lisa
Abaunza, 15, of Duryea.
Two men, half-brothers, have been
charged in the shootings: Shawn Ha-
milton, 18; and Sawud Davis, 16.
For a long time after coming out of
a coma, Maldonado was confused.
He would tell wild stories, like hav-
ing a red Cadillac that he swore he
used to flee the shooting scene.
His mother, Susana Handelong,
smiles now when she talks about
Danny and his stories, but when you
look at her face, you can see the ef-
fects the last two months have had
on her.
Handelong lives in a small house
with her husband, Kevin, and Danny
and his fiance, Ashley Bryant, their
baby, Izabella, and Maldonados
youngest son, Justin, 13. Space is
tight, emotions run high and strug-
gle is the best word to describe their
daily lives.
We fit, Susana said of their
home, the location of which the fam-
ily asked not be disclosed. But no-
body has any second thoughts or re-
grets. Were in this together.
Danny and Ashley plan to marry
on May 11. Danny wants his hair to
grow back to cover the bullet scar.
I REMEMBER THINKING if he shoots me again, the bullet could go
through me and through the floor and hit the lady downstairs. Then he shot
me again and I dont remember anything after that.

SEMINOLE, Fla. Eager to
change the subject after a dismal
jobs report, President Barack
Obama tried to rekindle some of
the enthusiasm of his 2008 cam-
paign Saturday with a bus tour
through a must-win swath of
Florida, urging supporters not to
buy intothe cynicismthat some-
how the change we fought for
isnt possible. Republican candi-
date Mitt Romney faulted both
his own party in Congress and
Obama for exposing the armed
forces to huge spending cuts.
Obama, speaking to a crowd of
11,000 at the Seminole campus of
St. Petersburg College, gave Flor-
idians a populist plea not to turn
away now.
If you give up the idea that
your voice can
make a differ-
ence, Obama
said, then other
folks are going to
fill the void: the
lobbyists, the special interests,
the people who are writing $10
million checks, the folks who are
trying to keep people from vot-
ing and more.

WILKES-BARRE The citys
District A Fund Committee held
its third annual Party in the
Park Saturday at Miner Park,
where more than1,000 residents
gathered to enjoy activities, so-
cializeandfindout howtopartic-
ipate in community improve-
ment.
The event raised funds to be
reinvested in the community as
well, according to Co-chair Ste-
phen Barrouk.
Its all about our neighbor-
hood, Barrouk said.
The District A Fund Commit-
teeis part of theLuzerneFounda-
tion and focuses on acquiring
money to reinvest in South
Wilkes-Barre.
He thanked city officials and
local business sponsors for pro-
viding the venue and activities
which were offered at no cost to
the residents. About 70 runners
raced in a 5K jaunt through the
neighborhood, more than 100
youths competed in a three-on-
three basketball tournament,
children got their faces painted
and local community organiza-
tions set up displays to meet and
greet the public.
Barrouk said the event is the
one major fundraiser for the
committee and could bring in up
to $20,000. All of the money will
be put back into the neighbor-
hood, he said. Past dollars were
used to repair fences, put new
lighting in Miner Park and make
repairs to the ball fields, he said.
The event also allowed local
residents who want to support
the community to find out ways
to do so. Many people have ex-
pressedadesiretohelp, but dont
knowhowto go about it, he said.
At the park, several local organi-
zations provided information
they could use, he added.
He emphasized the event was
alsodesignedtoget theattention
of the children of the neighbor-
hood. The committee wants
them to utilize the resources
such as Miner Park, he said. Plus
they will help foster more invol-
vement from their parents, he
said.
We want people to see the vi-
tality of South Wilkes-Barre,
Barrouk said.
Shawn Walker, pastor of the
neighborhood Baptist Church
and co-founder of Building
Bridges, a new community
group working toward better
neighborhoods, saidhecouldsee
how events like the Party in the
Park take steps toward a better
quality of life for the families of
South Wilkes-Barre.
He lauded the District A com-
mittee for their vision.
A turnaround starts with one
step, he said.
Sue Greenfield, event co-chair,
saidshe felt Saturdays event was
a big success.
In three short years, the Party
intheParkhas takenoff, shesaid.
It gives neighbors a chance to
get to know each other, she add-
ed. With busy schedules and
changing demographics, people
dont seem to even know their
neighbors. The party is an at-
tempt to build good relation-
ships while recognizing andcele-
brating the communitys diversi-
ty.
Greenfield said the business
sponsors of the event are the
ones who made the party possi-
ble.

WEEKLY LOTTERY
SUMMARY
REMEMBERING TEDDY
A
dinner dance on Saturday at
Holy Saviour Church marked the
100th anniversary of President Theo-
dore Roosevelts 1912 launch of the
Bull Moose Party. Here, John McKe-
own, local historian and a member of
the parish, speaks during dinner ser-
vice. Roosevelt and Monsignor John
J. Curran first bonded in 1902 when
they worked together to end a bitter
strike in the anthracite coal industry.
Their friendship continued for years,
and Roosevelt chose to kick off his
1912 Bull Moose Party bid for re-elec-
tion at Holy Saviour Church. A Mass
was held at the church and Roosevelt
led a parade to the River Common,
where he was met by a crowd of
10,000. Roosevelt lost his bid as an
independent.
TORONTO On behalf of
himself andhisfellowAmericans,
BenAffleckis sayingthankyouto
Canada.
Affleck made his latest return
to the Toronto International Film
Festival on Friday to premiere his
Iran hostage thriller Argo, for
which he does double-duty as
star and director.
Opening in theaters Oct. 12,
Argo chronicles a joint effort by
theCIAandtheCanadiangovern-
ment to rescue six Americans
fromTehranafter the U.S. embas-
sy was taken over by Islamist mil-
itants in 1978. While 52 others
wereheldhostageat theembassy,
thesixAmericans werehiddenby
Canadian authorities, who
worked with U.S. operatives to
concoct an elaborate scheme to
get themout of the country.
The idea they came up with
was to pretend they were all on a
location scout for a movie, Af-
fleck said in a telephone inter-
view before the festival. They
went to Hollywood and basically
put together the back-story for a
fake movie. They took out ads,
did a read-through, all the real
things a real movie would have to
do.
Affleckstars as exfiltrationspe-
cialist Tony Mendez, who teams
withaHollywoodproducer (Alan
Arkin) todreamupaphonyCana-
dian science-fiction flick they
want toshoot inIran, intendingto
smuggle the sixAmericans out as
part of the film crew. Argo also
features John Goodman and
Bryan Cranston.
Its really a movie about Cana-
dian heroics and the relationship
between Canada and America,
Affleck said. Once you see the
movie, youll see how it reso-
nates, the theme of, Thank you,
Canada.
Affleck has reason to give per-
sonal thanks toCanada. His bank-
robbery hit The Town got a
warmwelcome fromToronto fes-
tival crowdstwoyearsago, andhe
hopes for the same this time.
Along with Argo, Affleck
stars in a second Toronto festival
film, Terrence Malicks romantic
ruminationTotheWonder. Fea-
turing Rachel McAdams, Javier
Bardem and Olga Kurylenko, the
film stars Affleck as an American
whose relationship to a woman
he met overseas turns cold, leav-
ing him drifting back toward a
childhood love.
Affleck had crossed paths with
Malickover theyears andshowed
him The Town while Malick
was working on his family epic
The Tree of Life. Malick was
casting To the Wonder at the
time and offered Affleck the role.

WILKES-BARRE The
building across the street that
Nicholas Dye looked at was va-
cant, but he still enjoyed the
view.
His building was empty as
well, but, hehoped, not for long.
Dyes D&D Realty Group of
Scranton purchased the Hamp-
ton Park apartment building on
thecorner of East Northampton
and South Washington streets
in foreclosure with the intent of
converting it into luxury condo-
miniums, office and retail
space.
The $1.5 million project is ex-
pected to be completed in nine
months and add to the activity
in center city spurred by anoth-
er mixed-use development, Uni-
versity Corners, located a few
steps away.
I like what theyve done here
in downtown Wilkes-Barre,
Dye said Friday during a tour of
the three-story Hampton Park.
It attracted him and West
Scranton brothers Adam and
Casey Donahue of Deadline
Construction of Scranton to
look at properties to develop.
Dye, 25, of Montgomery
County, played football with
Adam Donahue, 25, at Ursinus
College, and chose Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania to start their
careers in real estate develop-
ment. Casey Donahue, 27,
played football at Temple Uni-
versity. D&D and Deadline
have worked together in Scran-
ton. Since 2010 theyve com-
pleted approximately $3 mil-
lion in residential projects.
Their search in Luzerne
County led them to Hampton
Park a combination of two
buildings built in 1912 and 1972
-- that was ingoodshapeandina
great location.
This came out and popped
out, Dye said.
Construction starts Monday
with an anticipated completion
date of Thanksgiving for a mod-
el condo and first-floor retail
and office space.

parade, a vintage car show and a
pierogie eating contest, food and
game vendors and a slate of live local
entertainment.
According to Funfest Executive
Director Judiann McGrogran, the
severe weather dictated that many of
the activities scheduled for Saturday
ran on a compressed timetable and
other outdoor activities were moved
to inside venues.
Other unique events scheduled for
the two-day festival included a pier-
ogie slapshot contest, a meatball
cook-off, a Latin music concert and
teen street party, as well as the an-
nual 5K Run for the Gold race.
This is our first time at Funfest,
said Alex Arguello of Hazleton, who
came out with his two pre-schoolers
to enjoy the food and fun. My kids
love this kind of stuff and I plan to
hang around as long as the weather
holds out.
Organizers rescheduled Saturday
nights planned fireworks display for
tonight at 9. The popular parade is
slated for today at 3 p.m.
I hope they do more things like
this throughout the year, stated Ar-
guello.

SCRANTON The streets were
awash in a sea of pink for the Susan G.
Komen Race for the Cure Saturday.
Roughly 10,000 people of all ages and
abilities were expected for the 5K run/
walk event that traversed through the
downtown. Bagpipes played as the par-
ticipants crossed the starting line un-
der a huge pink and white balloon arch
on Wyoming Avenue.
Sporting a pink head wrap and feath-
er boa, three-time survivor, Danielle
Cavanaugh, 42, of Mountain Top was
geared up for the event. Cavanaugh was
one of the 176 members of The Ice
House Pub Team the largest team in
the event. Although the teams sponsor
is located in Mountain Top, many of the
members reside in other parts of Lu-
zerne County. Other cancer survivors
on the team included Chris Ostroski
and Kathy Bufalino, both of Shaver-
town; Lael Swank and Joanne Jones,
both of Mountaintop; Kellie Kizis of
Exeter and Mary Ann Jarolen of Nanti-
coke.
With the word survivor stamped on
her right cheek and a pink ribbon tattoo
on her left, Cavanaugh and her hus-
band, Tom, also 42, talked about her 18-

NANTICOKE It was easy to tell
Frank Chest supported the elimination
of school property taxes.
He joined approximately 125 other
people Saturday night at Luzerne
County Community College for a pre-
sentationonlegislationpendinginHar-
risburg to get rid of
the property taxes
and make up the rev-
enue by raising the
state sales tax 1 per-
cent.
I feel that educa-
tion should be paid
for by everyone, not
just property own-
ers, Chest said.
The Newport
Township resident
has seen his property
taxes for the Greater
Nanticoke Area
School District in-
crease time and time again.
But instead of the 3.2 million proper-
ty owners across the state bankrolling
school districts, House Bill 1776 and
Senate Bill 1400 would rely on Pennsyl-
vanias 12.4 million residents for fund-
ing.
Each would raise the sales tax to 7
percent andexpandthesalestaxbaseto
include goods and services currently
exempt such as haircuts, movie theater
tickets, some legal services, certain
foodandclothing. It wouldbephasedin
over two years and allow a small por-
tion, approximately 10 percent, of the
propertytaxtoremainineffect tocover
long-termdebt. The tax would be com-
pletely done away withonce the debt is
paid.
Additional revenue would be raised
throughanincrease of the state income
tax to 4.01percent from3.07 percent.
Combined, the income and sales tax-
es would raise revenue equal to the
property tax. If it exceeds the property
tax total, the income tax would be cor-
respondingly decreased.
Districts would initially be 100 per-
cent fundedandincreaseswouldbetied
to the rate of inflation.
The lawalso permits school districts
to tax personal income or earned in-
cometopayfor major projects, but only
if the tax is approved in a no-exception
referendum.
Theeliminationof theschool proper-
ty tax has been a long time coming and
the idea has attracted the support of
state legislators who could act on the
bills before the end of year, said Dave
Baldinger, administrator of the Penn-
sylvania Coalition of Taxpayer Associ-
ations, which presented the nearly 90-
minute programat LCCC.
The organization also was involved

YATESVILLE Michael Gar-
zella has come home. After
more than a decade working in
the Hazleton Area School Dis-
trict, a stint as superintendent
at Wyoming Valley West, and a
few years teaching at Wilkes
University, he recently started
working as interim superintend-
ent of Pittston Area School
District, where he earned his
high school degree.
Garzella is being paid $498
per day filling in for current
Superintendent George Cos-
grove, who is on leave until his
retirement Oct. 8, at which time
Garzella assumes the post under
a three-year contract. To re-
acquaint himself with district
residents, Garzella, 59, answer-
ed questions from The Times
Leader. Here are edited ex-
cerpts.
Q: What is the most impor-
tant message you want to give
district stakeholders?
A: I would like all of our
stakeholders to know that my
administration and I are com-
mitted to making decisions that
will benefit our students and
our community. We will work to
provide greater opportunities
for students, while remaining
fiscally responsible.
Q: Biggest district challenge?
A: Given the financial strains
placed on school districts across
the state, I believe our greatest
challenge will be trying to do
more with less. We will be con-
fronted with decisions that may
be difficult to make regarding
staffing and programs, however
we will always research every
possibility prior to making any
decision that will affect our
organization.
Q: Biggest strength?
A: In the short time I have
been in my new position, I can
unequivocally say our greatest
strength is our staff, faculty and
administration. I am impressed
with our leadership team and
the wonderful initiatives and
programs going on in our
schools. Everyone I have met
has been professional and genu-
inely concerned for his or her
programs and students.
Q: Has a final contract been
agreed upon, and if so, what are
the terms?
A: A final contract has not
been agreed upon. I have been
provided the opportunity to
identify district goals, which
will be integrated into the eval-
uation process. Therefore, I
have been meeting with school
board members, administrators
and faculty to identify concerns,
which will translate into short-
term and long-term goals. I
believe it is important for every-
one to have a voice as we move
forward.
Q: You return to public edu-
cation amid dramatic changes
high school Keystone Exams
replace 11th grade state tests, a
new teacher evaluation system
and tight budgets. Any concrete
plans on how to navigate the
new seas?
A: We are already preparing
for the Keystone exams. This is
something that should have
happened years ago. Students
will be required to pass exam-
inations directly related to their
coursework. This was not al-
ways the case with the PSSA
(Pennsylvania System of School
Assessment) tests. The new
teacher evaluation system is
based on Effective Teaching
Practices, and provides oppor-
tunities for faculty and adminis-
tration to engage in meaningful
discussions related to specific
areas of concern. Regarding
budget cuts, of course it is a
concern. We are in the process
of initiating changes. For exam-
ple, we are starting or own
cyber-school. If we can encour-
age parents to enroll their chil-
dren in the districts cyber
school, we can save the current
tuition costs and recoup the
state subsidy for the child.
Q: Your background is pri-
marily special education and
technology. What are your goals
at Pittston Area?
A: We will work together to
ensure that every child receives
the appropriate support and
services to meet their individual
needs. Regarding technology,
you will see some dramatic
changes. We are in the process
of defining a three-year plan,
which will begin by researching
efficient and cost-effective solu-
tions. For example, we need to
think about wireless connectiv-
ity in our schools and the use of
portable devices. We will also
engage vendors to learn more
about cloud services, including
infrastructure solutions.
Q: Your appointment at
WVW came shortly before the
reunion of your band Abilene for
the Wilkes-Barre City Bicenten-
nial. Has the band played to-
gether since?
A: Unfortunately, we havent
played in about three years. I do
get together with some of the
guys regularly. We are actually
considering recording some
material, but I think my per-
forming days are over.
Q: All-time favorite perform-
er/song(s)?
A: Well, I have always loved
The Eagles, Skynyrd and Cros-
by, Stills and Nash. I really dont
have a favorite song. I enjoy
songs with great harmonies and
intricate guitar cuts. I think
Abilene always tried to emulate
those types of groups.
Q: Pittston Area is the only
district in Luzerne County
where a superintendent (Ross
Scarantino) pleaded guilty to
federal corruption charges. The
scandal re-emerged the night
you were appointed, with a local
TV reporter implying Scaranti-
no had tried to influence board
votes. Do you want to com-
ment?
A: I really dont know nor do
I care why this issue has drawn
so much attention. I believe I
earned my job based on creden-
tials and experience and would
be willing to place my resume
beside any applicants.
Q: Do you intend to take any
steps or make any recommenda-
tions to prevent such problems
in the future?
A: The Board of Education
has implemented policy to ad-
dress the issues of the past. My
goal is to move our district
forward and focus on all the
positive things happening in the
Pittston Area School District.
An essential part of my job is to
spawn a culture where everyone
is treated with respect, everyone
follows proper protocol, and all
decisions are made to enhance
each childs ability to be success-
ful.
Q: Upon your appointment at
Wyoming Valley West in 2006
you mentioned your two daugh-
ters were getting married. Any
grandkids yet?
A: Both of my daughters are
now married and I have two
wonderful sons-in-law. Both of
my daughters have a child. My
oldest daughter Lynn has a son,
Jack, who is 21 months old, and
my youngest daughter Jamie
has a daughter, Nina, who is five
months old. I am a very rich
man.
Q: Thing you miss most from
your years in Hazleton?
A: I really miss the people.
Hazleton was a great place to
work. The years I spent in Ha-
zleton were priceless and helped
prepare me for the work I am
doing today.
Q: Thing you love most
about being in Pittston?
A: I really feel at home here.
We have great people at Pittston
Area. Having the opportunity to
serve the Pittston Area commu-
nity is truly an honor.

Rescue efforts hampered
B
locked mountain roads were ham-
pering rescue efforts after twin
earthquakes struck southwestern Chi-
na and killed at least 80 people, leaving
officials worried Saturday that the
death toll could rise further.
More than 100,000 residents were
evacuated after Fridays quakes toppled
thousands of houses and sent boulders
cascading across roads in a remote
mountainous area along the borders of
Guizhou and Yunnan provinces.
The damage was preventing rescuers
from reaching outlying towns, and
communications were disrupted after
the midday quakes hit in a region of
small farms and mines where some of
Chinas poorest people live. Weather
forecasts Saturday said there was a
chance of rain over the next three days,
which could hamper rescue work.
But there was some good news, with
state television reporting that four
babies had been born in temporary
hospitals set up since the quakes hit.
BEIRUT
Drinking pipe damaged
Activists say a major pipe that sup-
plies drinking water to parts of the
northern Syrian city of Aleppo has
been damaged.
The Britain-based Syrian Observ-
atory for Human Rights says the pipe
was hit Saturday in the Midan neigh-
borhood during clashes between rebels
and troops and as government war-
planes bombed the area.
Activists say the damage leaves sev-
eral parts of the city of 3 million with-
out water.
There were conflicting reports on
what cause the damage to the pipe.
A Syrian official said it was an act of
sabotage by anti-government gunmen.
He did not elaborate and spoke on
condition of anonymity in line with
regulations.
Aleppo has witnessed almost daily
clashes since July.
BOSTON
Ukrainian orphan treated
A Ukranian orphan is being treated
at a Boston hospital after he somehow
was burned over 30 percent of his body
years ago.
Little is known about how Ihor Laka-
tosh was burned. Hes 8 or 9, no one is
sure.
The tiny Ukrainian boy was severely
malnourished and unable to walk or
bend his arms when neighbors in Lviv,
Ukraine, urged his mother to take him
to a hospital about a year ago. She did,
and never came back.
Now, Ihor is being treated at Bos-
tons Shriners Hospital for Children,
where he faces months of surgeries.
THESSALONIKI, GREECE
Premier: Cuts will help
Greek Prime Minister Antonis Sam-
aras says the final round of austerity
measures contains painful and unjust
cuts but is necessary to restore
Greeces credibility and continue to
receive funding from creditors.
Samaras says all unjust cuts will be
restored once the economy starts grow-
ing again.
Debt-laden Greece is in the fifth year
of a deep recession that has seen its
economy shrink by 20 percent and the
jobless rate soar to 24.4 percent in
June. Massive aid from the EU and
IMF has helped the country stave off
bankruptcy.

A paraglider passes in front of a cow
on a sunny day near Niederbauen at
Lake Lucerne, Switzerland, Saturday.
Were I not bound by my immense size
and cloven hooves, I too may be sail-

definitely did not think upon watching
the paraglider.
KABUL, Afghanistan A suicide
bomber blew himself up near NATO
headquarters in the Afghan capital on
Saturday, killingat least sixpeople, po-
lice said.
The Taliban claimed responsibility
for the attack, saying the target was a
U.S. intelligence facility nearby.
Jamie Graybeal, a spokesman for
the U.S.-led international military alli-
ance, said all coalition compounds in
Kabul were currently secure. He said
he was not aware of any casualties
among members of the coalition.
The U.S. and Italian embassies as
well as the Afghan presidential palace
are also located near the site of the
blast.
The Afghan Interior Ministry said
sixpeople, all civilians, werekilledand
five others were wounded.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Muja-
hid said in a statement emailed to re-
porters that the bombing was carried
out by a 28-year-old militant from Lo-
gar province, south of Kabul.
But Kabul deputy police chief Daud
Amin said eyewitnesses reported see-
inga teenage boy, whowas about13or
14 years old, walking in the area carry-
ing a bag.
Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq
Sediqi blamed the11:40 a.m. attack on
the Haqqani network, one of the most
dangerous militant groups fighting
U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan. He did
not say what he was basing that con-
clusion on, but the Haqqani group,
whichis linkedtoboththeTalibanand
al-Qaida, has been responsible for sev-
eral high-profile attacks in the Afghan
capital in the past.
On Friday, the U.S. designated the
Pakistan-basedHaqqani networkater-
rorist organization, a move that bans
Americans from doing business with
members of the group and blocks any
assets it holds in the United States.
The Obama administration went
forward with the decision despite mis-
givings about howthe largely symbol-
ic act could further stall planned Af-
ghan peace talks or put yet another
chill ontheUnitedStates alreadyfrag-
ile counterterrorism alliance with Pa-
kistan.
Saturdays suicide attack came as
Afghans celebrated the 11th anniver-
sary of the death of Ahmad Shah Mas-
soud, the charismatic Northern Alli-
ance commander who was killed in an
al-Qaida suicide bombing two days be-
foretheSept.11, 2001, attacks. Thealli-
ance joined with the United States to
help rout the Taliban after America in-
vadedAfghanistanamonthlater inthe
wake of the attacks.

COLUMBIA, S.C. Despite detectives
pleas to national media, the disappearance
of an18-month-oldblackboy withthe wide
smile has yet to grab the widespread atten-
tiongiventoother missingchildrenscases.
Someadvocatessaythereasonwhymaybe
as simpleas thetoddlers gender andhis
race.
Fromthe still-unsolved slaying of 6-year-
old JonBenet Ramsey more than 15 years
ago to the disappearance and killing of 2-
year-old Caylee Anthony, the public has
watched with rapt attention as many cases
involving young children unfolded, often
over many months. Yet Amir Jennings, the
littleboywhohasnt beenseensincehewas
captured on surveillance video with his
mother inSouthCarolinanearlyayear ago,
has registered as scarcely a blip on the na-
tions consciousness.
Media has always leaned toward the
cute little kids, said Monica Caison of the
Wilmington, N.C.-based CUE Center for
Missing Persons. And unfortunately, a lot
of times they think cute little kids are
white.
Amirs mother, Zinah Jennings, was con-
victed Friday on a charge related to his dis-
appearance and sentenced to 10 years in
prison. The 23-year-old woman has been
jailed since December, and police arrested
her after she told them false, misleading
stories about the boys whereabouts. Jen-
nings has maintained that she left the boy
somewheresafe, butprosecutionwitnesses
said the young mother claimed she was
stressed and pondered selling or giving
away the boy.

STATE COLLEGE Joe Pa-
ternos wife was surrounded by
her children and grandchildren
Saturday at the dedication of a
$6.5 million campus Catholic
center that was named for her
and said her late husband
would have called it a national
championship for Penn State.
Sue Paterno and her hus-
band, one of college footballs
most successful coaches over
decades at
Penn State,
helped to raise
money for the
center, which
features the
Holy Family
Chapel, meet-
ing rooms and
a cafeteria.
Sue Paterno
said there is
still work to be
done and
pledged to
fight to make
sure that the
center is com-
pleted for stu-
dents.
She said es-
tablishing the
center was a
partnership with her husband.
We did everything that
way, she said. I didnt coach,
but he didnt cook.
She said Joe Paterno, who
died in January, is right be-
hind me. I know hes watching
us.
Joe Paterno coached the Nit-
tany Lions until his firing in
November, days after retired
assistant coach Jerry Sandusky
was arrested on child sex abuse
charges, and was diagnosed
with lung cancer days later.
Sandusky was convicted this
year and awaits sentencing.
A university-sanctioned in-
vestigation criticized Paternos
handling of what he knew
about Sandusky, but the family
accuses the university and
NCAA of a rush to judgment in
accepting the report and has
vowed its own investigation.
Sue Paterno attended Penn
States first game of the season
last week, saying she just want-
ed us to win. Penn State, de-
pleted by NCAA sanctions after
the scandal, lost to Ohio.
Penn States Catholic Cam-
pus Ministry serves about a
quarter of the student popula-
tion as well as administration,
faculty and staff, according to
the Altoona-Johnstown dio-
cese. The Rev. Joseph Adamec,
bishop emeritus, blessed the
center and celebrated its first
Mass Saturday.

14 condos will be more afforda-
ble, priced between $135,000 and
$210,000 and range from 750
square feet to 1,250 square feet.
All of them have 12-foot ceilings
and 8-feet-by-8-feet window
openings. Finished units will
have hardwood flooring, open
floor plans and individual heat-
ing, ventilationandair condition-
ing. The plumbing and electrical
systems will be upgraded and a
new elevator will be installed.
Unique to the building and the
downtown will be The Hub
planned for the first floor.
Casey Donahue said he got the
idea from an attorney friend in
Memphis, Tenn. The space will
be marketed to young profession-
als who needoffice space, but not
an office. For around $150 a
month they can rent a space with
Internet access where they can
work, meet clients and network
with others. Donahue said the
space could be outfitted for 18
people.
HAMPTON
Continued from Page 3A
year battle. When she was 24
and the couple had been mar-
ried only six months, Cava-
naugh was diagnosed with
breast cancer. After undergo-
ing a lumpectomy, chemother-
apy and radiation, the cancer
went into remission. Four
years later, Cavanaugh gave
birth to the couples first daugh-
ter, Morgan. The second blow
came three years later, but Cava-
naugh kept fighting. During a
period of remission from that di-
agnosis, Cavanaugh gave birth
to a second daughter, Jaclyn.
When she was 37, Cavanaugh
was told that the cancer had
come back and metastasized to
her liver. I feel OK, said Cava-
naugh, adding that she is partici-
pating in a clinical trial with a
chemo drug tailored specifically
for her.
Its that easygoing attitude
that makes friends and family
comfortable talking about her
condition, said Tom. Theres no
sense in dwelling on something
you cant control, he said.
RACE
I dont want my wedding pic-
tures tobeareminder of that day,
he said.
Their daughter, Izabella, was
born five weeks before the shoot-
ings. Danny goes for rehab treat-
ment every day for 3
1
2 hours. Ash-
ley cant work because she has to
care for Izabella. Susana has a job
and Kevin is currently working in
Wisconsin. Justin returns to
school this week.
Dannys disabled, Susana
said. He has a traumatic brain in-
jury. His feet dont move at the
same time and his right arm
hasnt come all the way back yet.
He has vision problems, too.
And there are daily expenses:
medications, co-payments, food,
baby needs, house payments, car
payments, school clothes, gaso-
line. Plus Dannyhas toget tother-
apy and back. Susana paid $4,000
to bury Nicky.
Through it all, Danny smiles,
especially when he holds Izabella.
He weighs104 pounds now, down
from the 120-plus at the time of
the shootings, but up from 98
pounds when he entered Allied
Services John Heinz Institute for
in-patient therapy.
There are no charges pending
against Danny Maldonado.
That fateful day
Danny Maldonado was in his
second-floor apartment at 401
First St., Plymouth, on July 7. The
night before, he and Ashley had a
tiff andsheleft withIzabellatostay
at her mothers house in Nanti-
coke. Danny said he knew his
brother smoked weed and was
mixed up with Swartwood, but he
really didnt know to what extent
the two were involved in illegal ac-
tivity. HesaidSwartwoodwas buy-
ing and selling guns. Susana said
her late son had some part of what
was going on there.
Swartwood, on the other hand,
was flashy, according to Danny.
Swartwood like to flash money
around and Danny says he thinks
Hamilton and Davis were after
money, not drugs, onthedayof the
shootings.
Who brings a gun to the super-
market? Susana said. Unless
youre going to rob it.
Danny refers to Hamilton as
bigguy, andDavis as little one.
Danny said when Nicky and
Brad returned to the apartment
withHamiltonandDavis, henever
expected what was about to hap-
pen. He said he didnt hear any ar-
guingcomingfromthefront room,
but Davis entered the roomwhere
Danny was and said, Hey, you
gonna want to come in here and
see this.
Danny got up and went into the
room and little one told him to
empty his pockets and said, This
aint no (expletive) game. Danny
said big guy pulled out a gun.
I ran at him and lunged at him
to try to get the gun, Danny said.
He just swatted me off him and
shot me in the head.
Danny said he fell to the floor,
but was semi-conscious. He re-
members looking up and seeing
the gun pointed at him.
I remember thinking if he
shoots me again, the bullet could
go through me and through the
floor and hit the lady downstairs,
Danny said. Then he shot me
again and I dont remember any-
thing after that.
Danny doesnt remember the
others being shot and killed. He
said he knows big guy shot him.
He said if little one had the gun,
he would have been able to take
him down.
One bullet entered Dannys
head; another went through his
right arm. He thinks a third bullet
entered his chest and exited his
lower back the bullet pierced his
liver.
His brother andtwoothers were
dead.
Looking for answers
It wasnt until July 24 that Dan-
ny found out what happened; that
Brad, LisaandNickywereall dead.
I thought Brad and Nicky got
away in a fancy getaway car, Dan-
ny said. His mother said this is an-
other example of the wild stories
Danny would concoct during his
recovery. I actually hoped Brad
andLisagot married. I didnt know
how young Lisa was; she told us
she was older.
Susanasaidshewas at Knoebels
Amusement Resort whenshegot a
call to come to the Plymouth po-
lice station. She didnt know what
had happened and it was hours be-
fore she knew Danny was at Geis-
inger Medical Center in Plains
Township and even longer before
she was told her other son, Nicky,
was dead.
The delay in finding out what
happened still haunts Susana. She
was so upset at the hospital that
she became belligerent.
Imsurprisedtheydidnt call se-
curity and haul me out of there,
she said.
But she just wanted to know
where Nicky was. She knew Dan-
ny was fighting for his life, but she
didnt know anything about what
had happened.
While Susana and Ashley and
Kevin and others were waiting to
hear about Danny and Nicky, two
kids were in a corner of the same
waiting room just fooling around
and laughing.
They heard us talking; they
saw us crying; they knew why we
were there, Ashley said.
The next day, while watching
the news, Kevin Handelong recog-
nized the two young men arrested
for the crimes they were the
same two kids who were in the
waiting room at Geisinger the
night before.
Susana remembers getting calls
frompeopletellingher about Face-
book postings: R.I.P. Nicky, Lisa
and Brad even R.I.P. Danny. She
was getting information before be-
ing told officially that Nicky was
dead. Finally, at 1:30 a.m. Sunday
morning several hours after the
shootings, She was told her son
was dead.
It was awful, shesaid. I mean,
we were greeted by the chaplain,
we talked to a neurosurgeon and
we were told Danny was being
treated by the trauma team. We
knewit was bad. People were post-
ing that they saw body bags com-
ing out of the apartment.
Coming back
Danny pulled through, but he
still has alongroadtorecovery. He
no longer tells those wild stories,
like when he said he went to the
movies and stopped at Burger
King for lunch when he wasnt
even allowed to eat solid food.
I just wanted a burger so bad,
he said. I was so hungry.
He remembers the wild stories.
He knows now he never owned a
red Cadillac.
I still have that busted down
Jeep, he said.
He has accepted his rehabilita-
tion. He never complains about
having to exercise for those 3
hours each day. He wears a special
device to exercise his fingers. Hes
determined.
And he lives in fear. Everyone
watches for strange cars and vis-
itors in the neighborhood. Susana
said she moved to Pennsylvania
from New Jersey to escape the
gang influence. She said Hamilton
and Davis are from Philadelphia.
She doesnt know who they know
or who they were involved with;
its a lingering feeling that may
never go completely away.
A few weeks after the fatal
shooting, another occurred on
West Shawnee Avenue, just a
block and a half from the First
Street scene. Bullets hit a house
where Ashleys best friend lives,
but no one was injured.
They dont know if there was
any connection, but they worry.
Whenaskedhowshecopes with
everything, Ashley gets teary eyed
and points to Izabella.
Longbeforetheshootings, Susa-
na painted a decal on her living
room archway: Family where
life begins and love never ends.
She said that saying means
more now than ever. She said she
sacrifices a lot to assure Danny,
Ashley and Izabella have what
they need.
I dont buy breakfast or lunch,
she said. Now, the baby comes
first.
New sneakers
Danny wears his new sneakers
all the time. He needed them for
therapy and he knows his future
andthefutureof his familydepend
on him getting better.
I just want to go back to school
to learn mechanics, Danny said.
I want to go back to work; I wishI
could work to help my mom. And
thenI wouldnt havetosit hereand
wait for people togive me money.
Danny says he doesnt have the
energyhe once had, but he says he
can get it back.
I wish I could get my arm
fixed, hesaidas heshows thebul-
let wounds. Then I could go to
school and get a job.
And maybe some day buy that
red Cadillac.

NEW YORK Nearly two
years after President Barack
Obama signed the 9/11 health
and compensation act, thou-
sands of responders and survi-
vors are monitored or treated
for illnesses traced to ground
zero dust.
But a component of the law
that provides money for eco-
nomic losses caused by illness
hasnt been as quick to get off
the ground.
It illustrates the complexi-
ties of a key piece of legislation
born of the attacks that took
place 11 years ago next week.
Only about 300 people have
filedeligibility forms so far, but
the funds leader eventually ex-
pects thousands of additional
applications.
With time still left, some
people are holding out in case
they become sick. Others are
waiting until broad categories
of cancer are added to condi-
tions covered by the fund.

LOS ANGELES Unlike that
place inBostonwhere everybody
knows your name, the people
who run the King Eddy Saloon
like to say that once you walk
through the front door of Skid
Rows last great dive bar, No-
body gives a ... about your
name.
And that seems to be just fine
with the folks who frequent this
aging edifice on the fringes of a
50-square-block area of homeless
shelters, rundown hotels and
warehouses that somehow, at
least until now, has managed to
avoid a decade of downtown gen-
trification.
Still, some pretty famous
names have passed through the
doors of the King Eddy over the
years. The great LA noir writer
John Fante used it as the model
for the blue-collar dive bar fre-
quented by failed writer Arturo
Bandini in his classic 1939 novel
Ask The Dust. For years, LAs
poet laureate, Charles Bukowski,
held court at a corner table.
Id come in and he was sitting
over there, writing on his little
scrap pad, making a poem, re-
calls Bill Roller, a grizzledmanof
74 who is dressed in white T-
shirt and jeans, and who for the
last 34 years has been everything
from the bars general manager
to its chief philosopher and psy-
chologist to, when the occasion
called for it, the bouncer.
I still have one of the original
ones that he threw away, Roller
says of Bukowskis poems. It was
an angry, expletive-filled rant
about LA that concluded with
the poets declaration that he
couldnt wait to move away.
He never did leave though,
adds Roller with a knowing
smile.
Its an attitude that could also
sum up the King Eddys time on
Skid Row: Gripe all you want,
but never leave.
For a century the King Eddy
has survived everything the
neighborhood could throw at it,
from Prohibition to beer-bottle
brandishing drunks to, more re-
cently, a drug addiction epidem-
ic that gripped the neighborhood
in the 1980s and 90s.
Gentrification, however, may
finally be what does it in.
After nearly 50 years of family
ownership, the bar is being sold
to a partnership that runs a pair
of upscale watering holes just
outside the Skid Row perimeter.
Those places specialize in craft
beers and cocktails, catering to a
new, more moneyed crowd that
is moving into the hundreds of
high-end apartments and loft-
style condos
that have
sprung up
around Skid
Row over the
past 10 years.
Sometime in
the coming
weeks, says Mi-
chael Leko, one
of the newown-
ers, the bar will
close for exten-
sive renova-
tions.
When it reo-
pens, it will still
be called the
King Eddy, Le-
ko said, adding
he hopes to retain as much of its
history as possible. But he ac-
knowledges it will have a differ-
ent, more modern look, along
with prices that he says will
complement the neighbor-
hood.
Its a neighborhood bar, and
as the neighborhood evolves, the
bar has to evolve, he said.
When Prohibition banned the
consumption of alcohol in the
1920s, the King Eddy literally
went underground. The bar was
moved to the basement of the
then-fashionable King Edward
Hotel, where it became a favored
hangout for the local cops. Car-
icature drawings of them in peri-
od uniforms still adorn the walls.
When Prohibition ended dur-
ing the Great Depression, the bar
movedbackupstairs, only tocon-
front a neighborhood that was
rapidly going downhill.
Even then the King Eddy en-
dured, serving a new clientele of
blue-collar laborers who moved
into the neighborhoods once
grand hotels, now little more
than flophouses.
Things might have gotten a
little sketchy aroundthe area and
everything over the years, but
the King Eddy has kept its true
integrity as a dive bar, a working
mans place to get a beer, says
Dustin Croick, the third genera-
tionof his family torunthe place.
The King Eddy is a bar where
Happy Hour starts each day at 6
oclock in the morning.
No one is toasting renovations for LA.s last dive bar
After nearly 50 years of
family ownership, the bar is
being sold to a partnership.

CERNOBBIO, Italy U.S.
Sen. John McCain says he is
disappointed with his partys
presidential candidate for side-
stepping world affairs in his
campaign for the White House
but reserves his most scathing
words for the current dweller,
blaming Barack Obama for in-
action while the situation in
Syria and elsewhere cries out for
American leadership.
In an interviewwith The Asso-
ciated Press in Italy on Saturday,
the 2008 Republican presidential
candidate criticized the man who
won that election for not aiding
rebels in Syria, abandoning Iraq
and Afghanistan, and delaying
tough decisions on Irans nuclear
program.
In a way its almost like watch-
ing a train wreck, he said of the
apparent failure to stemIrans
nuclear efforts.
What does the senator from
Arizona make of the notable
absence of such talk at last
months Republican National
Convention that nominated Mitt
Romney and focused mostly on
the economy? The famous
straight-talker was cautiously
bipartisan.
Yup, it was absent, he said.
The election is about jobs and
the economy, but a failed ... na-
tional security policy over time is
going to lead to significant do-
mestic problems.
Its the job of presidents and
candidates to lead and articulate
their vision for Americas role in
the world. The world is a more
dangerous place than its been
since the end of the Cold War,
and so I think the president
should lead and I think candi-
dates for the presidency should
lead and talk about it, and Im
disappointed that there hasnt
been more.
McCain is visiting Italys Am-
brosetti Forum, an annual gather-
ing of political and business
leaders, together with two fellow
senators Connecticut inde-
pendent Joe Lieberman and
South Carolina Republican Lind-
say Grahamfollowing a tour
that took themthrough the Mid-
dle East.
On Friday, addressing the
plenum, the trio of self-styled
mavericks won European fans by
criticizing the dysfunction in
American politics, then chal-
lenged their audience with a call
for far greater U.S. activismin
the Middle East particularly
aiding Syrias rebels and on Iran.
McCain said sanctions almost
never work, Lieberman said the
red line should be weapons
capability and not the actual
creation of a weapons, and Gra-
hamsaid the United States
should make it clear that if Iran
pressed on it faced a massive
attack fromthe United States
and not Israel, a scenario which
he said Irans leaders knowthey
could not survive.
McCain cut a somewhat wist-
ful figure at the proceedings
disarmingly accessible yet grav-
ely ominous, a smiling, hard-
headed reminder of what might
have been.
In the interviewhe was happy
to detail howhe would have done
things differently, criticized Oba-
ma for pulling troops out of Iraq
and telegraphing an intention of
ending military operations in
Afghanistan by 2014.
I would have left a residual
force of some 20,000 troops in
Iraq, he said. Things are unrav-
eling in a way that threatens to
yield a fractured state divided
among Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish
regions, under the sway of al-
Qaida, and out of the U.S. orbit
all the things we predicted
would happen if we pulled out
completely.

for the nation. But he urged peo-
ple to help him finish what we
started, and he put creating
more jobs at the top of his to-do
list.
The president called on peo-
ple to rally behind real, achiev-
able goals that will lead to new
jobs and more opportunity.
Romney, campaigning in Vir-
ginias military-dependent tide-
water area, was determined to
keep the spotlight on the coun-
trys weak jobs outlook, laid out
in the latest Labor Department
report on unemployment. It was
the first topic he raised in an ap-
pearance before a flag-waving
audience of 4,000 in a hanger at
the private Military Aviation
Museum, vintage aircraft on dis-
play around him.
This is not the kind of news
that the American people are
hoping for and deserve, he said.
Then he projected forward to a
Romney presidency to add: Im
here to tell you that things are
about to get a lot better.
Speaking in the Navy town of
Virginia Beach, where many jobs
are tied to defense, Romney crit-
icizedthe president bothfor past
cuts to military spending and
unthinkable potential reduc-
tions threatened under the so-
called sequestration. Thats a
series of automatic, across-the-
board cuts that will take effect if
Congress doesnt reach a budget
solution in the next fewmonths.
Half of the cuts are set to come
from the Pentagon under a deal
negotiated between Obama and
Republican leaders in Congress.
I thinkit was a mistake for Re-
publicans to go along with it,
Romney said in an interview
taped for Sundays broadcast of
Meet thePress onNBC. Onthe
stage, hedonlyblamedthepresi-
dent for the defense cuts.
Obama has opposed the depth
of the cuts but has said congres-
sional Republicans need to
adopt a plan that includes in-
creases in revenue.
Romney called the potential
cuts unthinkable to Virginia, to
our employment needs. But its
also unthinkable to the ability
and the commitment of America
to maintain our liberty. ... If Im
president, well get rid of the se-
questration cuts and rebuild
Americas military might.
From Virginia Beach, Romney
headed for NASCAR territory,
prime ground for working-class
white voters. He planned to at-
tend the Federated Auto Parts
400 at Richmond International
Raceway.
Romney and Obama are dead-
locked in Virginia, where the
Democrat is strong in the north-
ernsuburbs of Washington, D.C.,
and Romney does better in the
south and rural areas.
In Florida, where the race also
is extremely tight, the presi-
dents two-day, 260-mile trip in a
fortified, million-dollar bus is
taking him though the center of
the state along the politically im-
portant I-4 corridor that sepa-
rates Democratic-leaning south-
ern Florida fromthe Republican-
leaning north. The center swath
from Tampa and St. Petersburg
through Orlando and on to the
Atlantic coast is considered the
states swing region.
Its Obamas third campaign
bus tour since July after earlier
road trips in Ohio and Iowa. The
buscapades attract significant
media attention in the states and
allow Obama to engage with lo-
cal voters in unscheduled stops
in the small towns that he cant
reach by only flying on Air Force
One.
On Saturday, he stopped at a
Cuban restaurant in West Tam-
pa, where he mingled with cus-
tomers, took pictures and or-
dered five honey Cuban sand-
wiches. Among those in the
sandwich shop: Dan Gemmell,
one of the undecided voters so
coveted by both Obama and
Romney.
Gemmell said hes a Democrat
who voted for Obama in 2008
and still thinks the presidents a
great guy. But the retiredArmy
major saidhes aRomanCatholic
and has trouble with some of
his issues, the birth control and
gay marriage thing.
Obama is eager to connect
with voters in the middle, and he
enlisted Floridas former Repub-
lican governor Charlie Crist in
the cause. Crist, now an inde-
pendent, spoke at the Democrat-
ic National Convention, and he
introduced Obama in Seminole,
telling the crowd that Obama
was working hard for the mid-
dle class, for Florida and the na-
tion.
Obama had a hug for Crist,
and said his support shows the
values that were fighting for are
not Democratic values or Repub-
lican values, they are American
values.
Former President Bill Clinton
will be campaigning for Obama
in Florida in the coming week.

N E W S
Some flood-prone areas have a
patchwork of local, county, state
and federal flood control systems
to keep rising water away from
structures, but others have noth-
ing.
Levees needed
Levees, waterway bank rein-
forcement and pumps are the
most common strategies to at-
tack flooding.
Denisco said hell wholeheart-
edlypushfor aleveebut isnt opti-
mistic.
The federal officials Ive spo-
kentojust about 99.9percent said
its not feasible for us, Denisco
said.
The government weighs the
potential loss against the con-
struction costs.
He points to Bloomsburg, an-
other Susquehanna River munici-
pality also hard-hit by flooding.
After nearly three decades of dis-
cussion and studies, officials in-
formed Bloomsburg in July that
the federal government wont
fund a flood-protection project
there.
Cost estimates for a West Pitt-
ston levee have ranged from $13
million to more than $30 million.
Theinvestment makes senseto
Denisco, who has a stack of bills
totaling $2.5 million just for de-
bris removal after Septembers
flood.
Were trying to come up with
any solution we can, he said.
Duryea has a levee constructed
years ago by the state Depart-
ment of Environmental Protec-
tion, but it didnt stop flooding
there in September.
The borough is positioned
where the Lackawanna River
feeds into the Susquehanna. The
Lackawanna had nowhere to
drain in September because the
Susquehanna was so high, caus-
ing widespread flooding of low-
lying properties.
Thestateis spending$1.77mil-
lion to repair the existing levee
and add concrete and piling to fill
a gap in the dike.
That wont be enough if the
Susquehanna rises as high as it
did last September because the
levee was overtopped in one sec-
tion, said borough Mayor Keith
Moss.
Water also poured through a
depression where the levee ends
near Main Street, and the design
plans dont extend the levee in
that area, he said.
The state said it would take an-
other eight years or more if the
boroughtries tochangethescope
of the project, he said.
We have to take what we can
get, Moss said. Myfight is toget
thedikes raisedhigher. I will fight
as longas Iminoffice toget them
raised.
The federal government is
spending $2 million to $3 million
to repair flood gates, boils and
other damage to the 15-mile
Wyoming Valley levee caused by
flooding last September. The
county relies on a controversial
levee fee paid by levee-protected
property owners to fund ongoing
maintenance of the system.
Bank reinforcement
Walls and other reinforcement
material stabilizing the banks of
three Wilkes-Barre creeks Solo-
mon, Mill and Laurel Run -- must
be overhauled, but it will cost
tens of millions of dollars, Frati
said.
We replacedparts after floods,
but to do it effectively, they must
be redone fromstart to finish, he
said.
The three creeks are still large-
ly contained by retaining walls
built through the Works Progress
Administration, or WPA, in the
1930s.
Its a credit to those who built
these walls that theyre still there,
but with all the high water wash-
ing out the mortar in the joints,
its becoming a problem, Frati
said. Anybody who looks at the
walls of Solomon Creek in partic-
ular could see theyre in desper-
ate need of being repaired.
Legislators added Solomon
CreektotheWyomingValleyLev-
ee project in 2007, allowing the
federal government to fund 75
percent of its $50 million to $60
million reconstruction.
However, nofederal money has
been allocated to date, putting
the project on hold indefinitely.
Runoff from the Mountain Top
area drains into Solomon Creek,
which passes through Ashley,
Wilkes-Barre and Hanover Town-
ship before spilling into the Sus-
quehanna.
The reconstruction project
would add flood walls where
there are none and redo deterio-
ratingwalls. Creekwideningis al-
so a possibility in some areas.
The potential for flooding dur-
ing heavy rain is always on Fratis
mind. He believes increased de-
velopment in higher elevations
sends more water into city
creeks. Drainage fromthe Wyom-
ing Valley Mall area and as far
away as Lackawanna County
ends up in the city because of the
contour of land, he said.
If we had new infrastructure
and new walls installed properly,
I believe we could better control
water dumped into them, he
said.
Installing pumps
Pumps suck up pooling water
and redirect it somewhere else,
usually into a waterway or hold-
ing basin.
Wilkes-Barre is tryingtoobtain
$300,000 to $400,000 to replace
three pumps at the Weir Street
station in the Brookside section,
Frati said.
Exeter area residents have
been begging for a newpump sta-
tion that can handle Hicks Creek,
thoughthe $10millionto$20mil-
lion price tag put the project in
limbo.
Barnard, who is active with the
Hicks Creek Watershed Associ-
ation, said 50 to 100 properties
have flooded several times over
the last decade, but he doesnt ex-
pect the cost of the damage to
meet the threshold to obtain a
new station.
Without new pumps, the bor-
ough has been forced to rely on
rented portable units when the
water rises, he said.
Kingston is spending $128,000
to install three new 6,000-gallon-
per-minute pumps at the Mercer-
Poplar stormwater pumping sta-
tion to mitigate street flooding in
the lowest-lying section of town,
said municipal Administrator
Paul Keating.
Water drains fromSwoyersville
andponds betweenUnionandDi-
vision streets during heavy rain.
Federal community development
block grant funding will cover
$100,000 of the expense, he said.
The municipality needs im-
provements at the Hoyt-Welles,
Wyoming-Dorrance andSchuyler
pumping stations, which receive
a workout -- continuously run-
ning -- during heavy rain, he said.
Weve done a lot of internal
preventive maintenance, but
there are still quite a few dollars
that need to be invested in those
to make them sound for the long
haul, Keating said.
Municipal officials plan to
spend $40,000 on the three sta-
tions to extend their lives a few
years, but theyll eventually need
new pumps like Mercer-Poplar,
hesaid. Theneedfor anewpump-
ing station to reduce ponding at
Pringle Street and Schuyler Ave-
nue also has been discussed, but
the municipality must come up
with $500,000 or more to fund it,
he said.
No flood control
Without a levee, Denisco ex-
pects the U.S. Army Corps of En-
gineers to pushfor flood-proofing
the raising of utilities or entire
structures for properties that
arent expected to be purchased
and demolished in upcoming
buyouts.
Several property owners have
jacked up their homes in Ply-
mouth Township and Shickshin-
ny along the Susquehanna and in
Butler Township near Nescopeck
Creek.
Denisco cant picture elevated
structures in West Pittston.
Some of the old estate homes
are huge, and elevating them
would be tough, he said.
As many as 200 buyouts are in
the works in Luzerne County mu-
nicipalities along the Susquehan-
na due to September flooding.
Shickshinny Mayor Beverly
Moore said the Wyoming Valley
levee increases flooding in her
municipality, and officials are
powerless because a levee will
never be approved based on the
federal governments cost-benefit
analysis.
It makes me feel like my town
is inconsequential, that were
nonexistent, and thats not true,
Moore said.
More than 20 homes approved
for buyout have been tagged with
pink spray paint by the demoli-
tion contractor, she said.
Its very depressing. Inthe fed-
eral governments eyes, the flood-
control system is buying out that
part of the town, she said.
The elevation of structures
wasnt offeredas analternative to
buyouts, she said. Property own-
ers may attempt to obtain
$30,200 through flood insurance
to raise a structure but must cov-
er the difference if it exceeds that
amount, she said. One borough
property owner elevated his
structure several years ago, she
said.
Buyouts are going to shrink
the town, she said.
FLOODING
Repair existing levee and add concrete piling to ll a gap
in the ood-control system by 2013. Borough ofcials say
the improvements wont stop ooding if the Susquehanna
River rises as high as it did last September because the
project wont heighten a section of levee that was
overtopped or ll in another low-lying section at Main
Street.
Residents and ofcials are begging for a levee but dont
expect one because federal ofcials say the estimated
loss from ooding doesnt exceed the cost of
construction. Levees also take decades of planning.
Borough ofcials expect an emphasis on elevating
utilities and entire structures.
The borough relies on temporary pumps when water rises
at Hicks Creek because the pumping station wasnt
designed to handle the volume of water on the land side
of the levee that must be pumped into the Susquehanna.
It is unclear if or when a new pumping station will be
approved.
Repairs to Mill Creek and other waterways in the city have
been completed since September. Damaged creek walls,
levees and pumps were reinforced. At least six sink holes
in south Wilkes-Barre were lled.
The federal government is expected to award contracts in
September to repair the Market Street Bridge closure
structures, levee boils and other damage caused by last
Septembers record ooding. Work may continue until the
spring, depending on the weather. Ofcials stress the
system will perform as required if the Susquehanna rises
before repairs are completed.

HARRISBURG When it
comes to liberalizing voting
laws, the dark ages are catching
up to Pennsylvania.
The decision by Pennsylvania
state election officials to set
aside plans for online voter reg-
istration this year ensures that
Pennsylvania will lag farther be-
hind most other states in the ef-
fort to expand access to voting
and voter registration.
Based on an analysis of infor-
mation from the National Con-
ference of State Legislatures,
Pennsylvania is now the most
populous state that has not le-
galized at least one of four proc-
esses that other states are in-
creasingly adopting: online vot-
er registration or election-day
registration, early voting and
no-excuse absentee balloting.
New Yorks move last month
to make online voter registra-
tion available leaves Pennsylva-
nia among 10 states that do not
allow early voting or online or
election-day registration, while
requiring an excuse froma voter
such as an illness or travel
to cast an absentee ballot.
Voting rights advocates view
those processes as crucial to in-
creasing participation in elec-
tions, although the actual effect
seems difficult to prove conclu-
sively.
The academic literature on
that is very mixed on whether it
increases turnout or whether it
just offers more opportunities to
the voter who would already be
voting, said Jennie Bowser, a
Denver-based analyst for NCSL
who tracks election issues.
Such steps can be political,
too especially ahead of the
Nov. 6 presidential election
when all indications point to an
electorate that is narrowly divid-
ed between President Barack
Obama, a Democrat, and his Re-
publican challenger, former
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Rom-
ney.
Republicans have worked to
curtail early voting since 2008,
producing court battles in Flor-
ida and Ohio, which, like Penn-
sylvania, are considered battle-
grounds in the presidential elec-
tion.
For now, 33 states and the Dis-
trict of Columbia allowvoters to
cast either a no-excuse absentee
ballot or to vote early, by mail or
in person, without having to
give a reason.
Eight states allow election-
day registration. Pennsylvania
will cut off voter registration
this year after Oct. 9, and the
last day to apply for a civilian ab-
sentee ballot is Oct. 30.
Fourteen states have ap-
proved online voter registration,
although three states have not
implemented it yet, according
to the NCSL.
The Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of State, which oversees
elections, began to explore the
concept of online voter registra-
tion earlier this year. It dropped
the idea after county officials
voiced concern that they could
not absorb the new process at
the same time they are trying
educate poll workers about
Pennsylvanias tough new voter
identification law, signed in
March by Gov. Tom Corbett.
The photo ID law, now one of
the toughest in the nation, re-
quires each voter to showa valid
form of photo before their vote
is counted. It is being chal-
lenged in court, and the state
Supreme Court is scheduled to
hear oral arguments Thursday
in Philadelphia. That law, cham-
pioned by Republicans and tea
party conservatives, is staunch-
ly opposed by Democrats and
advocates of liberalizing voting
laws.
In Pennsylvania, creating
early voting, no-excuse absen-
tee balloting or election-day vot-
er registration would require ac-
tion by the Legislature.
Voter ID snafu puts Pa. behind other states in voting process
Pa. among 10 states that do
not allow early voting, online
or election-day registration.

Carla Reck is a lighting designer for Friedman Electric in
Wilkes-Barre. Reck, 43, attended Seton Catholic High School
and graduated from Kings College with a degree in English.
Carla Lives in Wilkes-Barre with her boyfriend, Alex.
What do you do as a lightning
designer? I help in the creative
process for the lighting of commer-
cial and residential locations. We will
pick out a single lamp or a whole
lighting scheme for projects for
businesses and homes. We work
with architects as well as other con-
tractors in combining to create a
finished product.
What do you like to do away from
work when not lighting up various
locations with your designs? I am
very much into theater and photog-
raphy. I perform with the Jason
Miller Playwrights Project in Scran-
ton. One of my proudest moments
was when I had a display at the An-
thology in Scranton, back in 2009. It
was composed of my black and
white photos of mannequins, wax
figures and ventriloquist dummies
and was received well by the public.
It was called the Automatonophobia
and it was an exciting event for me.
Are you on any committees or a
member of any organizations? I
am actually on the board for the
Fine Arts Fiesta. I work with others
in coordinating events and vendors
on year round basis for the event
that takes place on the Square in
May.
What do you think needs to be
improved upon in Northeastern
Pennsylvania? We have such an
interesting art scene in this area. I
would love to see the public em-
brace it more. Art improves the
quality of living and there are so
many activities locally that highlight
art whether it be plays or art exhib-

involved to enhance the experience
with art in the area.
Speaking of the arts, what is
your favorite type of music or
some musical artists that you
enjoy? Im a throwback to the 80s
and I enjoy electronic bands like
Depeche Mode and New Order. I like

OS ANGELES On a recent
night in Venice, Calif., late enough
that the boardwalk is empty of
tourists, a police officer questions
a man in a black plaid shirt. A
woman with surfer-blond hair pulled into
a ponytail stands nearby, the sounds
from a portable scanner escaping
through her jacket pocket. She snaps a
picture with her phone and attaches it to
her tweet:

She is Venice311, otherwise known as
Alex Thompson, part of a rapidly grow-
ing group of L.A.-area residents who
share a passion for listening to police
scanners and then disseminating that lo-
cal news online, in real time, via Twitter.
Freeway accidents, arrests, fires,
power outages, a man waving a machete
on a roof it all comes into play.
Thompson, 44, launched her Twitter
feed and a website after realizing that de-
spite 12 years of living in the area, she
knew little about crime in her neighbor-
hood.
This came out last night, she says,
having recorded it off the scanner with

A
n exciting new project by the
Northeast Pennsylvania Ge-
nealogical Society will put
many decades of Hazleton-area
newspapers into a modern, acces-
sible format that will preserve their
life almost indefinitely.
The group will digitize the entire
newspaper collection of the Greater
Hazleton Historical Society. That is
expected to be some 950,000 pages
of the Standard Sentinel, The Hazle-
ton Sentinel, The
Plain Speaker
and the Daily
Standard from
1868 to the
1940s.
Digitizing, in
this case, is the
conversion of
print images
(such as old
newspapers) into
condensed form
onto discs, which
may then be read
via computer.
The process is
similar to that of
a modern digital camera, which
puts photos onto a tiny card from
which they may then be retrieved,
or a CD containing music.
Digitizing is growing in pop-
ularity as a means of records stor-
age because old paper records tend
to become brittle and disintegrate
over time. Paper records are also
subject to damage from moisture,
fire or handling, and they require
immense storage space.
The society has been digitizing
records for some time, but the new
project is easily the largest it has
ever undertaken. The process is to
take the paper records to the socie-
tys research library in Hanover
Township, digitize them and then
return them.
In the case of the Hazleton-area
papers, one set of discs will be given
to the historical society free of
charge, one will be kept at the socie-
tys library and one will be kept in
storage as a master file so that discs
in heavy use may be replaced over
time. The discs will be readable at
the library on a dedicated computer.
Any civic or religious institution,
business or organization with his-
torical vital records in their custo-
dial care which would be useful in
doing genealogical research is en-
couraged to take advantage of our
societys records preservation pro-
ject, the Genealogical Society said
in a release.
After digitization, the old paper
records will be returned to their
custodians.
Institutions with questions about
digitizing may contact the Genea-
logical Society at (570) 829-1765 or
nepgsmail@gmail.com.

or heard. But that has changed.
Nearly a dozen prominent scan-
ner enthusiasts in Los Angeles
County now tweet to about
30,000 followers and often ret-
weet each other.
JoeFournier is amember of the
Southern California Monitoring
Association, a support and infor-
mation group for scanner follow-
ers. He sees the online explosion
as a new wave of entertainment.
Its the same thing as the real-
ity shows, says Fournier, who
bought his first scanner 40 years
ago, when he was10. Its live. Its
unscripted.
Thompson has taken the live
part to a new level. She shot and
posted video of a woman cater-
wauling inside a beach bath-
room, a needle and crack pipe
near the door jamb. She snapped
pictures of officers responding to
a man with a shotgun and then
had to fight to get her camera
back after the mans mother
grabbed it, fearing the scene
would end up on the Internet. It
did anyway.
These scanner fans informally
divide up the county. Thompson
focuses on the Westside and the
Los Angeles Police Departments
Pacific Division. The Culver City,
Calif., area falls to19-year-old Bil-
ly Dunwoody, who tweets at Cul-
vercity311 between classes at
West Los Angeles College and at
night.
The San Gabriel Valley is the
domain of 51-year-old Joe Ortiz,
otherwise known as sgvscanner,
who typically squeezes in dozens
of tweets a day, mostly at night.
And, until his granddaughter
needed it, Ortiz kept an entire
roomdevoted to police scanners.
Another gaininginpopularityis a
man in his mid-30s known as
LAScanner, who has built a repu-
tation for snarky tweets. He
asked that his real name not be
used, fearing a backlash at work.
He listens toscanners, he says, al-
most like music a way to de-
compress
Griffith Park: Its dark & hiker
is lost in the park. LAPD Airship
gonna search w/ the big candle.
Hopetheliondoesnt findthehik-
er 1st.
Its like theater, he says. Its a
whole unfolding story.
Its also a never-ending story.
The Southern California Mon-
itoring Associations motto says
it all: In God we trust all oth-
ers we monitor. The club, whose
roster lists nearly100 names, pro-
fesses to be the biggest west of
the Mississippi. (The largest is
the Chicago Area Radio Monitor-
ing Association, with more than
1,400 members.)
Khalil Ladjevardi, 59, the
SCMAs director, got his first
scanner when he was 15.
I think its mostly curiosity
about the world around them,
he says of the people attracted to
scanners. Sometimes you may
hear (police) looking for a sus-
pect, and it may just be the per-
son in front of you.
A number of law enforcement
and fire officials welcome the
scanner enthusiasts.
Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Capt. Mike Parker, whose Twit-
ter handle is mpLASD, is a de-
partment spokesman and tweets
often, sometimes even sending
discreet words of praise to those
who help warn the public with
tweets like this:
LAPD Bomb Squad on scene
near Commonwealth and Russell
for unknown situation. ... Avoid
area LATraffic
One positive that has hap-
pened from scanner fans is that
they have helped on many occa-
sions to amplify a message,
Parker says.
His Los Angeles Fire Depart-
ment counterpart is Brian Hum-
phrey, an SCMA member. On its
website, the LAFD refers to its
own online scanner feed and ap-
preciates the enthusiasts, he
says, even though they some-
times send out false information
or misunderstand the shorthand
used.
I dont believe its dangerous,
but it requires attention, says
Humphrey, whotweets onLAFD-
talk. Its a little different than
most hobbies.
The scanners language can be
tricky at first.

male white late 40s climbed

Thompson knows the code
now.
14-A-11 is the patrol car, 4-5-9
is burglary. ... Code three is re-
spond immediately with lights
and sirens.
She laughs recalling how she
named her Twitter feed in honor
of the city of L.A.s information
and non-emergency services hot-
line, 311, but later was told its al-
so police code for indecent expo-
sure.
It was a happy accident, says
Thompson.

adored Paris. Everything
about it is wonderful. The
scenery, the art and every-
thing about the culture there
entices me. I would really like
to see more of Europe in the
future.
Where do you like to visit
in the states? My favorite
spot to visit every year is the
Finger Lakes in New York. I
love boating there and vis-
iting the wineries. I also enjoy
traveling to Philadelphia.
Who has been a role model
in your life or someone you
have looked up to? I have
always had a weird energy
growing up and my parents
have always understood me
and inspired me to use that
energy. My friends in the art
community have also contrib-
uted greatly to my enthusi-
asm and have supported me
throughout my endeavors.
Do you have a favorite
author? I love the works of
Edgar Allen Poe.
Do you have a favorite
quote or saying that you live
by? Buddhism says to learn
to let go. I try to live by that
more these days.
What is your favorite
food? Anything that we cook
at home is my favorite. My
boyfriend and I try to eat
healthy so I really like salads
and veggies from the Farm-
ers Market as well as codfish
and a really good wine.
Where do you like to visit
or hang out at in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania? We like
to walk down to the riverfront
from our apartment and just
sit beside it for awhile. It is a
nice atmosphere.

ORLANDO, Fla. - In his first
class of thefall semester, Universi-
ty of Central Florida professor
Charles Negy suggested to his
cross-cultural psychology stu-
dents that they might want to
read his email to last semesters
class that went viral on the Inter-
net - twice.
In the email that created a sen-
sation at the time and again just
weeks before the fall term began,
Negy chastised the devout Chris-
tian student who told the rest of
the class to ignore the professor
questioningtheir religious beliefs.
Students in my class who
openly proclaimed that Christian-
ity is the most valid religion, as
some of you did last class, por-
trayed precisely what religious
bigotry is. Bigots - racial bigot or
religious bigots - never question
their prejudices and bigotry. They
are convincedtheir beliefs are cor-
rect, Negy wrote.
The confrontation between the
agnostic professor and the Chris-
tian student is, in miniature, a re-
enactment of the ongoing clash in
American society between stri-
dent true believers and increas-
ingly vocal non-believers.
I think the tension you are see-
ing nowis the more non-believers
thereare, theless willingweareto
accept that arrogant assumption
that Christianity is the only true
religion, Negy said in an inter-
view. We are not going away any
time soon, and the more of us
there are, the more confident we
feel.
About 19 percent of Americans
now identify themselves as unaf-
filiated with any religion, includ-
ing about 5 percent who say they
are agnostic or atheist, according
to a 2011 survey by the Pew Re-
search Center. In 2008, 16 percent
of adults identified themselves as
unaffiliated - up from 7.3 percent
when they were children, accord-
ing to Pew.
Nationwide, 29 percent of
Americans - and 28 percent of
Floridians - say they do not be-
lieve inGod, according to another
Pew survey.
There is certainly a concern
about the increase of secular and
non-religious people becoming
more vocal, said Mat Staver,
chairman of the Liberty Counsel,
a non-profit law firm that advo-
cates for Christian religious
views. What we have seen in the
past few years is an aggressive-
ness among atheists and non-be-
lievers toward those who believe
in God.
Fred Edwords, national direc-
tor of the United Coalition of Rea-
son, said the rising profile of non-
believers in the United States be-
ganaround2004withseveral pop-
ular books byatheists andhuman-
ists suchas Christopher Hitchens.
Local groups of atheists, agnos-
tics, humanists and freethinkers
began springing up throughout
the nation, and a movement to
unify the different varieties of
non-believers started in 2009.
Edwords compares the grow-
ing size and visibility of non-be-
lievers to the gay-rights move-
ment in its infancy. Non-believers
often refer to coming out of the
closet.
What we are finding is more
people coming out. We have four
or five new groups in Orlando,
said Jack Maurice, founder of the
Orlando Freethinkers & Human-
ists organization. Comingout is a
lack of fear.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Of course it was
raining.
Clouds have hung over Penn State for
months. That the skies opened up before their
final drive was fitting.
Sam Ficken had already missed three field
goals. Had an extra point blocked. And now
there was rain. And fans screaming at him as
loud as they could still manage, chanting his
uniform number -- Nine-ty-Sev-en! -- in their
best sing-song tone.
The noise intensified. The snap was low. The
kick hooked wide left.
Penn State fell to 0-2.
Not a fourth quarter rally nor four forced
turnovers was enough to get Bill OBrien his
first win. Virginia slipped and stumbled around
the field for four quarters but scored in the final
90 seconds for a 17-16 win.
Matt McGloin, returning froma mid-game el-
bow injury, led the Lions down the field in the
two-minute offense to give his team a shot to
winwithone secondleft onthe clock, but a fifth
miss on a kicking play on the afternoon -- this
one from 42 yards out -- sunk the team.
Its never always about the kicker, OBrien
said. The kicker is always the one to get
blamed, but its the whole operation -- the snap,
the hold, the kick. We have totake a lookat that.
Theres no substitute for hard work.
Well have togobackas a staff andtalkabout
it, but Sam is our kicker.

SELINSGROVE The Crestwood
teamgathered together again, well after
their final game at the Selinsgrove Tour-
nament, for a commemorative photo.
They had balloons spelling out 600
in gold. They had a poster. They all had
smiles. Then the voice of one of the
Comets rang out above the commotion:
What about Mrs.
G?
Coach Elvetta Gem-
ski walked over to the
gathering and took her
place with her team.
With a 7-0 victory over
Mifflin County on Sat-
urday, she became the
third high school field
hockey coach in state
history and the sixth
inthe nationtorecord
600 wins in a career.
This is a wonderful
opportunitytostopand
reflect on all the sup-
port and all the won-
derful people who have
been a major part of my
life. Gemski said. I
love coming back each
year (which shes done
each year since 1976)
and putting a team to-
gether. I respect what
these players do and all
the work they put in.
And we have some fun
along the way.
Despite the rain,
heavy at times in-
cluding during the on-
field celebration after
the milestone, Gemski
clutched a bouquet of
flowers given to her by her team. Ten
minutes after the game, then20, she still
held the gift.
The milestone meant a lot to her. The
gift fromher teamseemed to mean even
more.

WILKES-BARRE TWP.
Fromthe beginning of Saturdays
game, it was evident that Kings
wasnt going to get pushed
aroundbyWidener likeit was last
time.
The Monarchs came out and
dominated the Pride for the first
15minutes of theMACopener for
both teams and had the 25th-
ranked team in the country, ac-
cording to d3football.com, trail-
ing by six points.
But then Widener showed why
it is ranked and
that the young
Monarchs have
a little further to
go. The pride
scored 41 unan-
swered points
and took advan-
tage of some key Monarchs mis-
cues in a 41-6 win at McCarthy
Stadium.
Our kids played really well
and they were executing early
on, Kings coach Jeff Knarr said.

CLEVELAND Vince Young
dubbed themthe DreamTeam
last year. Hes gone, and so is a
nickname that proved to be fool-
ish.
It never fit the Eagles.
I really didnt think much of
that either, Philadelphia coach
Andy Reid said of a moniker that
turned into a punch line.
One season after talk of a Su-
per Bowl title proved to be pre-
sumptuous and preposterous,
the Eagles, who needed a four-
game winning streak just to re-
ach .500 and in doing so may
have saved Reids job, believe
they again have a championship-
caliber team.
Owner Jeffrey Lurie thinks so.
He recently said an 8-8 record
this season would not be accept-
able, and Reid likes howhis boss
is thinking.
Thats not what we are shoot-
ing for, so Imall in on that, said
Reid, who will beginhis14thsea-
son with Philadelphia on Sunday
against the Browns. Jeffrey and
I have a goodrelationshipandwe
keep everything out on the table
and thats why we have had this
thing going for 14 seasons.
For himto have a 15th, the Ea-
gles need to be a redeem team.
They staggered out of the
blocks in 2011, following a win
over St. Louis in the opener with
four straight losses. Despite an
offensethat producedafranchise
record for yards with quarter-
back Michael Vick and an All-
Star cast of playmakers busting
off biggains by the boatload, Phi-
ladelphia finished second in the
NFC East, missed the playoffs
and entered the off-season deter-
mined not to repeat the same
mistakes.
Theres pressure to win, may-
be more than ever.
We want to go out and repre-
sent as best as we can as players
for this team, Vick said. Were
going to go out here and make it
happen. Were all playing for
coach, for Mr. Lurie, and for one
another.
Vick appears to be fully reco-
vered froman injured thumb and
bruised ribs, which limited him
to just 12 snaps during the exhi-
bition season. He didnt even
make the trip to Cleveland for
Philadelphias 27-10 win over the
Browns on Aug. 24, when back-
up QB Nick Foles threw two
touchdown passes. Vicks health
is the key for Philadelphia, as al-
ways.
I feel good going into this
game, Vick said earlier this
week. I feel like Im100 percent,
and I dont really have any nag-
ging injuries. I think Im fully re-
covered. The last two weeks
have really helped me get there.
Im just ready to go.
Thats not what the Browns
wanted to hear.
Theyll bemissingthreedefen-
sive starters linebackers Chris
Gocong (injured) and Scott Fuj-
ita (just off suspension) andtack-
le Phil Taylor and will have
their hands full trying to contain
Vick, who can take a busted play
and make it magical.
Hes a superstar, said
Browns coach Pat Shurmur, who
begins his second season amid
an ownership change. He can
have a bad play, and then all of a
sudden its a touchdown. Thats
what makes him extremely dan-
gerous. He can do it with his feet
from outside the pocket. He
throws the ball extremely well.
He can beat you with his arm in
the pocket; thats what makes
him very, very dangerous.
Danger looms everywhere for
the Browns, who have gone 1-12
in season openers since return-
ing to the NFL as an expansion
team in 1999.
With one of the leagues
youngest rosters 15 rookies,
one first-year and 11 second-year
players and a daunting sched-
ule, Cleveland could be in for an-
other long year. But Shurmur,
who went 4-12 last season, likes
his squad. Hes confident the
Browns, despite gloomy predic-
tions from experts, will improve
as the season rolls along.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Its Tebow
Time for the NewYork Jets, and Super Marios
bigdebut for the BuffaloBills.
Tim Tebow and Mario Williams, two of the
NFLs highest-profile players, switched teams
this offseason and are hoping to have huge im-
pactsstartingwiththeregular-seasonopener
at MetLife StadiumonSunday.
I reallydont get nervous, but it does feel like
my rookie year all over again, said Williams,
whosignedasix-year, $100milliondeal withthe
BillsinMarchaftersixyearsinHouston. Itdoes
feel likeI gotdraftedagain. Imprettysureitll be
a little bit, a little anxiety, but
itll be fine.
TheBillsarebankingonthe
fact that Williams will add a
big-time boost to their de-
fense, wreaking havoc on op-
posing quarterbacks every
Sunday and helping Buffalo
improve a defense that man-
agedjust 29 sacks last season.
Youkindof sit backandgo,
whew, Jets coach Rex Ryan
said. Hes a tremendous play-
er. Your first thought is youre
going against him, then you
think, He does get to play
New England twice, so thats kind of a good
thing. If wecansurvive, hopefullyNewEngland
will strugglewithhim. Thatsit. Itslike, Whew.
Theconference, ourleagueisgettingbetter. You
steal one of the top pass rushers in the game.
Clearly, you think, Oh man. You hope that he
doesnt gointoour division, but here he is.
And, soisTebow, thepopularbackupquarter-
backwhose role inNewYorks offense has been
kept mostly under wraps all offseason to keep
defenses on their toes. Tebowwill work in new
offensive coordinator Tony Sparanos wildcat
packages andas the personal punt protector on
special teams.
Beyond that, anybodys guess is as good as
Buffalos.
If youget somebodythat canthrowthe foot-
ball and still be able to run it effectively, he cre-
ates aprobleminthewildcat, Bills coachChan
Gailey said. And thats what you are trying to
do. Youre trying to find that guy that can just
keep themhonest enough in the wildcat where
theycant just throweverybodyright ontheline
of scrimmage. Thats what Tebows proven he
cando.

Quarterback Tim Tebow will make his New
York Jets debut today.
DENVER When the four-time
MVPwith the four-time surgically re-
pairednecktakes the fieldtonight for
the Denver Broncos opener against
the Pittsburgh Steelers, it will have
been 1 year, 8 months and 2 days
since Peyton Mannings last mea-
ningful snap.
What a long, strange journey its
been.
Mannings march began with an ir-
ritated nerve in his neck that got
worse and eventually weakened his
throwing arm, leading to a series of
operations that forced himto miss all
of the 2011 season.
Without him, the Indianapolis
Colts nosedived and then decided to
rebuildfromtoptobottom, including
selecting Stanford quarterback An-
drew Luck with the top pick in the
draft.
So, they cut Manning loose on
March 7, marking the end of an era, a
14-year alliance between the team
that drafted himNo. 1overall and the
QB who brought Indianapolis from
football irrelevance to the 2007 Su-
per Bowl title and a second appear-
ance in the NFL championship game
three years later.
A thousand miles away, Denver
was Tim Tebows turf. But manage-
ment wasnt completely sold on the
exalted but erratic passer for whom
coachJohnFoxhaddustedoff the old
read-option offense last season.
Two weeks after he stood along-
side Colts owner JimIrsay at an emo-
tional farewell news conference,
Manning was standing next to John
Elway, the powerful pair of Super
Bowl winners talking about hoisting
another Lombardi Trophy, this time
together. And soon.
While that quest begins in earnest
Sunday night, it had its roots in Den-
ver long before Manning ever
dreamed hed be wearing the orange-
mane mustang on his helmet instead
of the horse shoe.
Shortly after signing with the
Broncos, Manning visited Coors
Field with wide receiver Eric Decker
and revealed that he had worked out
with his buddy, Rockies first base-
man Todd Helton, during the NFL
lockout last year.
While Manning, who unseated
Helton as the starting quarterback at
the University of Tennessee in the
mid-1990s, was rehabbing from neck
surgery, Helton helped arrange for
him to use the Rockies facilities to
work out.
Hes a great friend, Manning said
that day at the ballpark. What he did
for me last year, allowing me to use
this facility, use the trainers to work
out as part of my rehab process. Ive
come a long way ... They were a big
part of it. The whole Rockies organi-
zation, I cant thank themenough for
opening their doors to me last year
when I certainly was an outsider. Ill
always be indebted to them.
Mannings right triceps had atro-
phied after one of his neck surgeries.
He told the NewYork Times recently
that when he went with Helton and a
Rockies trainer to an indoor batting
cage at Denvers downtown ballpark,
the first pass he threw to Helton
nose-dived so much that Helton ac-
tually thought he was just goofing
around.
He was dead serious. His arm was
shot, his future in football in doubt.
A few days later, an MRI revealed
that Manning needed spinal fusion
surgery. Nobody realized it at the
time, but Mannings days in Indy
were numbered.

STANDINGS/STATS
ROCHESTER, N.Y. The sea-
son-long road trip of the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees has
come to an end.
At last.
The Yankees, whose vagabond
existence didnt get in the way of
them capturing the IL North Di-
vision crown, ran out of road Sat-
urday, when they suffered a 7-1
season-ending loss to the Paw-
tucket RedSox inGame 4 of their
semifinal set at Frontier Field.
Playoff participants for the
fourth time in five years, the Yan-
kees were upended by the IL
wildcard winning Paw Sox, who
will face the winner of the Indi-
anapolis/Charlotte semifinal set
for the league championship.
That the Yanks, who drew just
442 in the last of their 48 games
played at Frontier Field, func-
tioned as well as they did while
PNC Field underwent extensive
renovations is a story that has
caused jaws to drop all over the
baseball world.
To try to write another chapter
to the tale, the Yankees, who
were already short on starting
pitching, turned to journeyman
lefthander Vidal Nuno, a 25-year-
old who was making his Triple-A
debut.
Nunos swan song came after
just 1
2
3 innings.
After strolling through an un-
eventful opening inning, Nuno
was raked by the PawSox for sev-
en runs in the second.
The Paw Sox loaded the bases
withnone away, andall three run-
ners eventuallyscored, onerunat
a time.
The crushing blowcame when
Pawtucket third baseman Danny
Valencia blasted a three-run
homer to left, which ended Nu-
nos night, and for all practical
purposes, the Yankees remarka-
ble sojourn.
It happened pretty quick,
SWB skipper Dave Miley said. I
didnt think there was going to be
a whole lot of trouble, and then it
snowballed. But youve got to tip
youre hat to Figgy.
By that, Miley meant Pawtuck-
et starter Nelson Figueroa who
hitched on for part of that ride
while making 17 appearances
while with the Yanks earlier this
year held his former mates to
just two hits throughout his eight
inning stint.
Whenateamreleases you, Fi-
gueroa said, youput that chipon
your shoulder and carry it for a
little while. You always want to
prove youre not done. I knew I
wasnt done by a long shot.
The first of those a fourth so-
lo homer by Corban Joseph ac-
countedfor all of the Yankee scor-
ing.
Figueroa went on to fan eight
Yankees while walking just one.
However by that time, reflec-
tion on the Yankees memorable
campaign could begin.
There were a lot of questions
inspringtraining, veterancatch-
er Gustavo Molina said, so you
prepared for that. You had to take
everything with you. For the first
two months, you still thought
about it. But after that, you only
had one choice, and that was to
play baseball.
Molina admitted that keeping
track of time and location was a
challenge.

cess for the downtrodden Mon-
archs.
They really believe that.
We made some major steps,
said Matthews, a sophomore
defensive back from Connecti-
cut.
Were getting there, said
Hartranft, a sophomore quarter-
back from Blue Mountain High
School who made his first col-
lege start Saturday. Were
definitely on our way.
Little more than two minutes
into the second half against
Widener, the Monarchs were on
their way to another defeat, a
41-6 whipping that dropped
them to 0-2 on the season and
2-20 under third-year coach Jeff
Knarr.
But this one was a tougher
battle than what the scoreboard
said.
Consider:
Kings held a 6-0 lead min-
utes into the second quarter.
It could have been 10-0 if not
for a failed extra point and a
44-yard field goal attempt that
died at the crossbar.
That lead would have lasted
longer if not for a poor punt
that actually lost two yards on a
windy day, setting Widener up
30 yards from the end zone for
its first touchdown drive.
And before that errant punt,
the Kings defense held Widen-
er without a first down on its
first four possessions.
We came here, we were
trying to win, Matthews said.
It showed.
Kings was within 14-6 late in
the first half and still had an
outside shot at a comeback late
in the third quarter, driving to
Wideners 34-yard line before
the scoring march stalled
along with all Monarchs hopes
of victory.
Widener, they went to an-
other gear, Knarr said. Our
guys, we might not have anoth-
er gear yet.
What the Monarchs do have
right now is optimism.
They are certain things will
get better because they can feel
themselves progressing rapidly.
We could see major improve-
ment from what I saw last year,
to spring ball, to now, Har-
tranft said. It felt really good to
be up on a nationally-ranked
team. We feel like we can play
with anybody.
At least for awhile.
We did much better this
year (against Widener) than
last year, said Matthews, not-
ing that the Pride put a 70-0
pasting on Kings a year ago.
Were improving every single
day. If we keep working, were
going to be up there in the
MAC.
Dont laugh.
Its not hard to see the Mon-
archs working their way up the
MAC standings, as long as they
keep playing as if they have a
chance to get all the way to the
top.
They believe in themselves,
Knarr said. Thats something,
when we got here, I dont be-
lieve was here. They came out
and they didnt let a nationally-
ranked team intimidate them.
They believe good things are
going to come.
Those good things didnt
come as fast or didnt last as
long as the Monarchs had
hoped against a high-caliber
opponent.
But there was enough to
suggest success, if not superior-
ity, it just around the corner.

They fought for 60 minutes and
thats all you can ask for. We have
to keep getting better in practice
with execution. You cant fault
them for the effort thats for
sure.
Kings wanted to keep Pride
(2-0) quarterbackChris Haupt off
his game by forcing him to make
quick throws. In the first quarter,
thats exactly what the Monarchs
did forcing Widener and the 25-
year-old former professional
baseball player to punt three
times on the first three drives.
Meanwhile, the Monarchs
(0-2) were putting together some
offensive punch. On their first
drive, theyfell inches short of tak-
ing a three-point leadas a 44-yard
field goal try hit the crossbar and
bounced out. Two drives later,
the Monarchs wouldnt be denied
taking a 6-0 lead when Kyle
McGrath registered his first ca-
reer touchdown with 3:32 left in
the first. They were two kicks
away from being up by 10 on the
Pride.
We were feeling good, Knarr
added. But they are a good team
and went into another gear.
Kings was also playing this
well on defense without two top
players, as linebackers Ryan
Cordingly and Jake Ksiaziewicz
sat out with injuries.
Defensively you have two
guys that youcount on, andwhen
theyre down the young guys are
playing and they played well.
They held their own, the coach
said.
But in the second quarter,
against a whipping wind, the
Monarchs ran into problems.
On a fourth-and-25 with Kings
lined up to punt, the kick netted
minus-2 yards giving Widener ex-
cellent field position. The Pride
took over on the Kings 30 and
they scored their first TD to take
a 7-6 lead with 11:59 left in the
second quarter when Haupt con-
nected on his first of three scor-
ing strikes.
Then Widener got a little luck
on its next drive. Haupt found
Anthony Davis for a 35-yard con-
nection. Linebacker Ryan Kelly
stripped the ball at the 2, but Da-
vis jumped on the loose pigskin
in the end zone for a 14-6 lead.
Haupt threw his second scor-
ing strike of the quarter later in
the period putting the Pride
ahead 21-6 at the break.
Wideners defense was also
keepingthe Monarchs incheckat
this point grabbing a pair of inter-
ceptions and stripping the ball
away for a touchdown holding
Kings to just 43 total yards in the
second half.
Theywere committedtomak-
ing us throwputting nine guys in
the box and that created some
problems trying to throw, Knarr
noted.
Tyler Hartranft played three-
plus quarters at QB for Kings as
Bryant Klein, who had been shar-
ing snaps behind center was out
with an injury. Hartranft played
well going16-for-35 for 118 yards.
Kris Matthews paced the Kings
defense with nine tackles, includ-
ing one for a loss, a forced fumble
and a fumble recovery.

ANNVILLE Misericordia
continues to make history.
Jeff Puckett, Dean Lucchesi
and Juwan Petties-Jackson will
all have their name in the Cou-
gars record book for being part of
a first.
Even though the team lost to
Lebanon Valley 47-7 in its first
MACgame on Saturday, the Cou-
gars scored their first touchdown
andnettedtheir first interception
in school history.
Quarterback Puckett and wide
receiver Lucchesi combined on
the first score when Puckett
foundhis wideout intheendzone
from1-yard out. The TD came at
the 5:14 mark of the third quarter
capping a 5-play, 77-yard drive
that cut the Flying Dutchmens
lead to 34-7.
Petties-Jackson showed the
teams improvement on defense
after a70-point loss aweekagoby
grabbing an interception on the
games first drive. The pick came
as the Flying Dutchmen were
driving down the field, and the
freshman caught the ball in the
end zone.
The Cougars didnt fare so well
on Lebanon Valleys second
drive, as the Dutchmen drove 85
yards for a touchdown and a 7-0
lead. That was the score after the
first quarter, a far cry from last
weeks 22-0 score after the first.
LebanonValley (2-0) pulledaway
by halftime scoring three touch-
downs in the second quarter to
open a 28-0 advantage.
Puckett topped100 yards pass-
ing for the second straight week.
On Saturday, he went 14-of-23 for
109 yards and again didnt throw
an interception.
In fact, the entire Misericordia
didnt turn the ball over for the
second time while nabbing a
takeaway and they now have a
plus-2 turnover margin through
two games.
Tailback Cody Lamoreaux
closed in on 100 yards, rumbling
for 75 on just nine attempts, in-
cluding a 47-yard run. Paul Brace
ledthe teaminreceiving, hauling
in six catches for 45 yards.
The Cougars will make history
once again next week when they
play the first football game on
campus by hosting Widener.

Misericordia makes
a little history in loss
The Times Leader staff
gram, Ficken remains Penn
States best option on field goals.
And with that in mind,
OBrien and his players defend-
ed the sophomore kicker with-
out hesitation after the game.
Samdidnot lose us this game
whatsoever, McGloin said.
I just told him that this isnt
his fault, junior guard John Ur-
schel said. We winas a team, we
lose as a team. And one player
doesnt make or break the game.
One play doesnt make or break
the game. Were all responsible
as a team for this loss.
The man had a point.
Fickens line was certainly
tough to look at. He finished 1-
of-5 on field goals, missing from
40, 38 and even 20 yards before
the 42-yarder at the end of the
game. He was 1-of-2 on extra
points.But there was an uglier
stat for Penn State.
The defense managed to force
four turnovers, all deepinVirgin-
ia territory. On the ensuing four
drives, the offense managed just
three points on a net of minus-14
yards.
All we can do is our job, se-
nior linebacker Michael Mauti
said. Everybodys responsible
for their job. And thats all I can
really say about that.
Mauti did his job as well as
anyone, leadingthe teamintack-
les for a second straight week
with nine. He had a hand in two
of the four turnovers, stripping
tight end Paul Freedman on a
completion on Virginias first
play from scrimmage. In the
fourth quarter, he scooped up a
fumble on a sack by Deion
Barnes at the Cavaliers 17.
That led to Fickens lone make
of the day, hitting a line drive
from 32 yards out. OBrien ini-
tiallyhadhis offenselineuptogo
for it, but he called timeout and
sent Ficken out to give it a shot.
Defensive tackle Jordan Hill
had an interception and line-
backer Gerald Hodges recovered
a botched snap for the other two
turnovers. Neither led to any
points.
Penn State had trailed 10-7 to
open the fourth quarter. But
McGloin hooked up with Allen
Robinson (10 catches, 89 yards)
for a 30-yardscore, the first of the
sophomores career to put the Li-
ons on top.
The ensuing extra point was
blocked, but a Ficken field goal
made it 16-10 with 11 minutes to
play.
As many big plays as the de-
fensecameupwith, however, the
unit continued to struggle on
third downs. A week after Ohio
converted11-of-12thirddowns in
the second half, Virginia made it
7-of-9 after halftime.
Three came on the decisive
drive as quarterback Michael
Rocco scrambled to his left and
found tight end Jared McGee be-
fore Penn States safeties did for
a 44-yard gain.
On third-and-goal from the 6,
Rocco connected with McGee
again for the tying touchdown.
The winning score -- the extra
point -- was good.

FIRST QUARTER
PSU -- Kyle Carter 8-yard pass from Matt
McGloin (Sam Ficken kick), 8:33. Drive: 17 plays,
75yards, 6:27. Comment: Itsfar frompretty, but the
Lionsoffenseatonesfor last weeksdudof asecond
half by scoring a touchdown after what felt like an
eternity for the opening drive. It includes a pair of
fourth-down conversions, including one in Penn
State territory. On third-and goal, McGloin has plen-
ty of time to wait for his tight end to come across the
formation and sit down in the middle of the Virginia
zone for his first career touchdown. PENN STATE
7, VIRGINIA 0.
SECOND QUARTER
UVA -- Drew Jarrett 46-yard field goal, 3:56.
Drive: 10plays, 50yards, 4:20. Comment: Virginias
defense keeps the Cavaliers in it early as the of-
fense does everything in its power to hand Penn
State points. After defensive tackle Jordan Hill gets
an interception, the Cavaliers turn Penn State away
a second time as Ficken misses a 38-yard field
goal. The offense finally grinds into motion as quar-
terback Michael Roccoleads theteamintoPSUter-
ritory. Adrian Amos snuffed out a screen pass for a
loss, forcingJarrett tomakeacareer longkick. PSU
7, UVA 3.
THIRD QUARTER
UVA -- Jeremiah Mathis 1-yard pass from Mi-
chael Rocco (Jarrett kick), 9:22. Drive: 11 plays, 77
yards, 5:38. Comment: Virginia gets the ball first af-
ter halftimeandtheCavaliers proceedtoput togeth-
er their best drive of the game. Rocco has success
looking for his tight ends down the seam, with Jake
McGeemakingabiggrabinthemiddleof thefield. It
goes as smoothly as anythingtheCavaliers drawup
all day, including the score -- a second-and-goal
play-action call that freed up the jumbo package
tight end for an easy six points. UVA 10, PSU 7.
FOURTH QUARTER
PSU -- Allen Robinson 30-yard pass from
McGloin (kick blocked), 13:10. Drive: 5 plays, 45
yards, 1:33. In their first six trips inside the Virginia
35-yard line, the Lions managed just seven points.
The defense had forced three turnovers in Virginia
territory, leading to zero points. Finally, the Lions
are able to convert after a poor punt gave themthe
ball at the Hoos 45. A double move allows Robin-
son to streak wide open. He lays out for the pass,
hauls it in and keeps both hands underneath it.
Landing on the ball knocked the wind out of him, but
he held on for the score, his first career touchdown.
But, of course, the kicking woes continue as Fick-
ens extra point is blocked. PSU 13, UVA 10.
PSU-- Ficken 32-yard field goal, 10:55. Drive: 4
plays, 3yards, 1:23. Comment: Just bizarre. For the
fourth time in the game, the Lions come up with a
turnover in Virginia territory. With the Cavs subbing
in Phillip Sims at quarterback, Deion Barnes comes
around the right tackle and slaps the ball free, with
Michael Mauti scooping it up at the 18-yard line.
Same old story for the offense, which cant capital-
ize. Bill OBrien initially lines up to go for it on fourth
down before calling a timeout and changing his
mind. Fickens kick is more of a line drive this time,
but it goes through the uprights for the first time.
PSU 16, UVA 10.
UVA -- Jake McGee 6-yard pass from Rocco
(Jarrett kick), 1:28. Drive: 12 plays, 86 yards, 6:36.
Comment: Just whenit appears theLions aregoing
to pull out an ugly win, things fall apart. Fired up and
pinning Virginia to a third-and-16. Rocco scrambles
left and the Lions safeties lose track of McGee, who
comes open for a gain of 44. Thats the spark the
Hoos needed, as they convert two more huge third
downs. The last one is third-and-goal and McGee
slips into an open space in the front of the end zone
and secures the bullet pass for the winning score.
McGloinleads PennStateintopositionfor thewinin
the final 90 seconds, but Fickens fourth missed
field goal of the day sails wide left. UVA17, PSU16.

Penn State wide receiver Allen Robinson (8) makes a touchdown
catch during the second half Saturday against Virginia in Char-
lottesville, Va.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. --
Bill OBrien said before the sea-
son that Paul Jones would play.
He just didnt say at which posi-
tion.
When Matt McGloin was
forced into the locker roomin the
second quarter with an elbow
injury, it was not Jones who took
the field to replace him, but true
freshman Steven Bench.
The reason, OBrien said after
the game, was because Jones had
been practicing at Penn States
F tight end position.
Jones, once one of the coun-
trys highest-rated signal-callers
coming out of high school, will
still practice at quarterback as
well. But as the third-stringer.
Bench was the No. 2 quarter-
back, OBrien said after Penn
States 17-16 loss on Saturday.
Jones is going to play some
F-tight end for us and hell still
play quarterback. We do that at
practice and next week keep
playing Paul at both positions.
It wasnt something the Lions
advertised. Jones remains listed
as a quarterback by the teamand
indeed warmed up for the game
by throwing passes rather than
catching them..
More telling, though, was
when Penn State lined up with
their full units for practice snaps
and Bench was under center with
the second-teamoffense.
The first clue may have come
on Wednesday, as Jones report-
edly was not wearing the tradi-
tional red no-contact jersey like
the rest of the quarterbacks.
When he showed up at the
game Saturday, he had switched
his number -- again -- fromNo. 7
back to No. 13.
Jones did not get in the game
at either position and is still
waiting for his first career snap at
the college level. He redshirted in
2010 and was sidelined in 2011
for academic reasons.
Bench, meanwhile, played well
enough in his cameo.
The rookie fromGeorgia com-
pleted his first pass attempt
before going1-for-6 afterward for
a total of 12 yards. But he also
picked up18 yards on the ground
and steered the offense to three
first downs on the final drive of
the first half.
Hes doing a heck of a job and
thats why I went with Bench as
the No. 2 quarterback, OBrien
said. I thought he did some
good things, especially at the end
of the first half. Hes never really
ever run a two-minute drive
before, just a couple in practice.
Overall I think he did a heck
of a job for his first time playing.
Infirmary report
McGloin sported a sleeve on
his right elbowin the second half
and had it iced up after the game.
On consecutive drives, the
senior banged the elbowoff of
the helmet of a pass rusher while
his armwas coming forward to
throw. The second time sent him
to the sideline grimacing, and,
eventually into the locker room.
X-rays were negative, and
McGloin said he did not expect
to miss any time going forward.
Nothing a little ice and Mo-
trin cant fix, he said.
McGloin returned to the side-
line at the start of the second
half. OBrien sent Bench in to
start the drive before giving
McGloin the call on third down,
which he converted.
Making his first career start,
tailback Derek Day left the game
in the third quarter with a shoul-
der injury and did not return. He
had his left armin a sling after
the game and said he would be
reevaluated back in State Col-
lege.
Starting tailback Bill Belton,
recovering froman ankle injury
suffered in the second half of the
loss to Ohio, did not make the
trip to Charlottesville.
Day finished with a game-high
47 yards on18 carries in his
place, outgaining Virginia on the
ground as a team(32 yards).
Curtis Dukes took over the
bulk of the carries after Day left,
running for 30 yards.
Travel roster set
Penn State brought a total of
nine true freshmen on the 70-
man travel roster, including
Wyoming Valley Conference
standout Eugene Lewis.
Lewis remains listed as a sec-
ond-teamer at wide receiver on
Penn States depth chart, though
OBrien has said they will try to
redshirt him.
He was joined by fellowclass-
mates Bench, CBDaQuan Davis,
TEJesse James, DTAustin John-
son, DBJordan Lucas, TBAkeel
Lynch, Valley Viewgrad LB
NyeemWartman and WRTrevor
Williams.
Davis, James, Lucas, Wartman
and Williams all appeared in the
opener. Bench made his debut.
Wartman appeared on special
teams against the Cavaliers but
went to the locker roomin the
second quarter with an undis-
closed injury.

SOUTH BEND, Ind.
Tommy Rees came off the
bench to lead Notre Dame on
a last-minute, winning drive
Saturday as the No. 22 Irish
got a 27-yard field goal from
Kyle Brindza with seven sec-
onds to go and beat Purdue
20-17.
Rees, who was suspended
for the opener last week be-
cause he was involved in a
skirmish with police at a par-
ty in May, relieved starter Ev-
erett Golson late in the fourth
quarter.
Purdue (1-1) had tied the
game at 17-17 when Caleb Ter-
Bush threw a 15-yard TD pass
to Antavian Edison with 2:12
left, the score set up by Josh
Johnsons recovery of a Gol-
son fumble. Golson was shak-
en up on the play and had
trouble gripping the ball, so
the Irish turned to Rees, who
started 12 games last season.
Rees connected on key
third down passes of 10 yards
to John Goodman and 21
yards to Robby Toma to get
Brindza in position for the
game-winning kick. Notre
Dame is 2-0 for the first time
since 2008.
Golson, in his home debut,
completed 21 of 31 for 289
yards with a TD and ran for
another but he was sacked
five times during a sloppy
game that featured 16 penal-
ties eight on each team.
Coach Brian Kelly said Gol-
son would start next week at
Michigan State.
The Boilermakers alternat-
ed TerBush, who started after
being suspended last week for
violating teamrules, and Rob-
ert Marve.
After Johnson recovered
Golsons fumble at the Notre
Dame 15, Marve was sacked
and shaken up and TerBush
re-entered the game and
found Edison on a fourth-
down pass to tie it.
With the game tied at 7-7 at
the half, Golson found 6-foot-6
tight end Tyler Eifert for pas-
ses of 22 and 25 yards on the
Irishs first series of the third
quarter and that carried them
to the 3, where he tossed a TD
pass to TJ Jones for a 14-7
lead.
TerBush tried to avoid a
rush by Notre Dames Shel-
don Day on the next series
and threw an off-balance pass
that was picked off by Bennett
Jackson. After Jacksons 11-
yard return put the ball at the
Boilers 20, Notre Dame had
to use a timeout with the play
clock running down before
settling for Brindzas 30-yard
field goal that made it 17-7.

CORVALLIS, Ore. Sean
Mannion threw for 276 yards
and a touchdown, Oregon
States defense smothered Wis-
consins Montee Ball and the
Beavers upset the No. 13 Badg-
ers 10-7 on Saturday.
Mannion connected with
Brandin Cooks on a 20-yard
touchdown on the opening drive
of the second half to give the
Beavers a 10-0 lead then turned
it over to the Oregon State (1-0)
defense that forced two turn-
overs and held Ball to 61 yards
rushing.
The win snapped Wisconsins
33-game non-conference win-
ning streak, the second-longest
in the country behind LSU.
Wisconsin finished with 207
yards and only 35 on the
ground. It was the lowest total
yardage for Wisconsin in five
years. The previous non-confer-
ence loss for Wisconsin (1-1)
came early in the 2003 season
when the Badgers lost to UNLV.
Alabama 35,
Western Kentucky 0
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. AJ
McCarron passed for 219 yards
and matched his career high
with four touchdown passes to
lead No. 1 Alabama to a win
over Western Kentucky.
McCarron had two scoring
tosses apiece to Christion Jones
and Kevin Norwood in a per-
formance that was more about
big plays than consistent, mus-
cle-flexing dominance for the
top-ranked Crimson Tide (2-0).
The Hilltoppers (1-1) were 40-
point underdogs and the sand-
wich opponent between top 10
opponents Michigan and No. 8
Arkansas.
A running game that pro-
duced 232 yards against the
Wolverines took a back seat to
McCarron and the capitalistic
defense. McCarron completed
14 of 19 passes and played all
but the final series.
USC 42, Syracuse 29
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Matt Barkley threw a career-best
six touchdown passes, and Rob-
ert Woods was spectacular with
200 all-purpose yards and two
scores, to help No. 2 Southern
California shake free of Syra-
cuse.
The rare trip to the northeast
for the Trojans was choppy at
times, and Syracuses hurry-up
offense kept USC working hard
for four quarters at MetLife
Stadium.
Ryan Nassib and Syracuses
hurry-up offense kept things
close with consecutive touch-
downs in the third quarter to
make it 21-16 heading into the
fourth. Nassib finished with 327
yards passing, two touchdown
passes and a touchdown run.

East Carolina 10
COLUMBIA, S.C. Dylan
Thompson completed 21 of 37
passes for 330 yards and three

Carolina (2-0) beat East Car-
olina.
Thompson started the game
in place of the injured Connor
Shaw, and left little doubt coach
Steve Spurrier made the right
choice to let Shaw rest.
Michigan State 41,
Central Michigan 7
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich.
Andrew Maxwell threw for
275 yards and two touchdowns,
and No. 11 Michigan State
cruised to a win over Central
Michigan.
The Spartans (2-0) scored 10
points in the final minute of the
first half to take a 24-0 lead.
Michigan State was playing at
Central Michigan (1-1) for the
first time, part of a decade-long
series of games against the
Chippewas, Eastern Michigan
and Western Michigan.
LeVeon Bell had 70 yards on
18 carries with two touchdowns,
shouldering a lighter load after
carrying 44 times for 210 yards
in Michigan States opener
against Boise State. The Spar-
tans havent allowed an offen-
sive touchdown this season.

Hopkins caught three touch-
down passes, Andre Ellington
rushed for two scores and Spen-
cer Benton kicked a 61-yard field

Conference record in No. 12
Clemsons victory over Ball
State.
Ellingtons two short TD runs
helped the Tigers (2-0) get off to
a fast start, and Tajh Boyd found
Hopkins for touchdown passes
of 13, 34 and 15 yards in the
second period to help increase
the lead to 35-10. Benton fin-
ished the Tigers 45-point half
with his record-setting kick as
time ran out.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Brax-
ton Miller became the first Ohio
State quarterback to rush for
three touchdowns in 34 years
and he passed for another score
to lead the 14th-ranked Buck-
eyes to a 3victory over Central
Florida.
A week after setting a school
quarterback record with 161
rushing yards in a 56-10 win
over Miami (Ohio), Miller ran
for 141 yards on 27 carries. His
number kept coming up after
starting running back Carlos
Hyde left with a first-half knee
injury.
Virginia Tech 42,
Austin Peay 7
BLACKSBURG, Va. Virgin-
ia Tech used two big plays in the
punt return game to overcome a
lethargic offensive start and the
No. 15 Hokies beat Austin Peay.
Kyshoen Jarretts 46-yard punt
return set up a 2-yard touch-
down run by Michael Holmes to
give the Hokies a 7-0 lead.
Michigan 31, Air Force 25
ANN ARBOR, Mich. De-
nard Robinson ran for 218 yards,
threw for 208 and scored four
times to help No. 19 Michigan
hold off Air Force for a win.
Robinson became the first
player in major college football
since at least 1996 to have at
least 200 yards rushing and 200
passing in three games, accord-
ing to STATS LLC.
Kansas State 52, Miami 13
MANHATTAN, Kan. Col-
lin Klein threw for 210 yards and
ran for 71 more, accounting for
four touchdowns and leading
No. 21 Kansas State to a rout of
Miami.
John Hubert added 106 yards
rushing and a touchdown, and
Daniel Sams added two scores
on the ground as the Wildcats
(2-0) rolled up 498 yards of total
offense while holding Miami to
262.
Louisville 35,
Missouri State 7
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Teddy
Bridgewater kept No. 23 Louis-

COLLEGE STATION, Texas
Mike Gillislee ran for 83
yards and two touchdowns and
No. 24 Florida shut down Texas
A&Ms offense in the second
half in a win in the Aggies first
Southeastern Conference game
after moving from the Big 12.
Florida trailed 17-10 at half-
time after a first half where
Texas A&Ms offense under new
coach Kevin Sumlin pretty
much did what it wanted.
Things changed in the second
half as the Gators clamped
down and forced punts each of
A&Ms six possessions after the
break.
Maryland 36, Temple 27
PHILADELPHIA Perry
Hills threw two touchdowns and
ran for one to help Maryland
beat Temple.
Embarrassed by the Owls in a
31-point loss last season, the
Terrapins (2-0) nearly blew a
23-point lead at halftime. Hills
had all three of his scores in the
half to help Maryland race to a
26-3 lead. The Owls stormed
back in the second half but ran
out of time and big plays.
Indiana 45, Massachusetts 6
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tre

IOWA CITY, Iowa Steele
Jantz threw for 241 yards and
the games only touchdown and
Iowa State beat Iowa for its first
win in Iowa City in 10 years.
Jake Knotts interception with
1:11 left sealed the win for the
Cyclones (2-0), whose defense
held Iowa to just 304 yards of
offense.
LSU 41, Washington 3
BATON ROUGE, La.
Alfred Blue rushed for 101 yards,
including a 21-yard score, and
No. 3 LSU racked up 242 yards
on the ground in a victory over
Washington.
Power runner Kenny Hilliard
added a pair of short touch-
downs and fullback J.C. Cope-

er score for LSU (2-0), which
basically ran at will while av-

Oregon 42, Fresno State 25
EUGENE, Ore. Kenjon
Barner ran for 201 yards and
three touchdowns to lead No. 4
Oregon to a victory over Fresno
State.
DeAnthony Thomas ran for
102 yards and two additional

each of his first two games.
Adrian Peterson was the last to
do it, in 2004.

Manuel completed 11 of 13 pas-
ses for 161 yards and five differ-
ent Seminoles scored touch-

Coach's Outlook: I just want to improve after

so we should be getting better as the season pro-
gresses.
The girls tennis season is offi-
cially underway, and with vol-
leyball, field hockey, and now
girls soccer all in the fall lineup,
some tennis teams have seen a
drastic change inreturningplay-
ers.
For the Crestwood Comets
however, one key player would
never consider leaving her
team.
Kristi Bowman, 16, a junior at
Crestwood, has been playing
tennis since she was 6 years old
and enjoyed a spectacular sea-
sonlast year. Shewent undefeat-
ed in singles competition dur-
ing the regular season, going
13-0 and helping lead her team
to a 12-3 record and a Wyoming
Valley Conference 3A title.
Bowman has said that tennis
is her only sporting interest and
that focus has helped her going
into every season. Because she
is not a multi-sport athlete,
Bowman uses her time year
round to continually look to im-
prove her game.
I really like playing tennis,
its the only sport I play, Bow-
man said. It keeps me focused
onwhat I have todoandit keeps
me focused on the upcoming
season.
Bowman said that practicing
throughout the year not only
helps her physically but also
mentally by helping her keep a
positive attitude.
Although she has enjoyed in-
dividual success, she cares more
about how her team does and
gives her teammates her unend-
ing support. Her goals going in-
tothis seasonwere tobetter her-
self from last year and help the
team make a deep playoff run.
I was undefeated last year
and I would like to stay unde-
feated but Im just going to take
every match one at a time and
see how I do, Bowman said. I
think that the whole team
would like to make it to districts
again because we all had a lot of
funlast year. I just want todomy
best to help my team reach that
goal.
This season, Bowmanis 7-0in
singles play. Teammates Britta-
ny Stanton and Melanie Kobela
also sport 7-0 singles records.

For The Times Leader
DALLAS The violent wind
blew the heavy rain nearly side-
ways at times Saturday after-
noon. Fans held tightly to um-
brellas, some of which blew in-
side out when greeted with big-
ger gusts.
Certainly, the conditions as
poor as they have been for high
school football in quite some
time gave Dallas a built-in ex-
cuse for the lack of offense. After
all, the Mountaineers like to
pass, and throws tend to sail or
die in this type of weather.
First-year coach Bob Zaruta,
though, cited other reasons for
the 28-7 loss to Abington
Heights. The reasons often men-
tioned by other coaches after
losses mistakes and missed op-
portunities.
It probably affected our pass-
ing game more (than Abing-
ton), Zaruta said, but we had
trouble running the ball, too. I
wouldnt use the weather as any
excuse.
One big mistake came on the
ensuing kickoff after Dallas took
a 7-0 lead on a 31-yard touch-
down pass from Ryan Zapoticky
to Darik Johnson at 2:56 of the
first quarter.
Abington kick returner Nate
Hollander droppedthe kickoff at
the7-yardline, pickeduptheball
and blasted through the heart of
Dallas special teams for a touch-
down.
Another came late in the third
quarter. Abington receiver J.C.
Showgot past the Dallas second-
ary, hauling in a 55-yard touch-
down pass for a 21-7 lead. The
throwbyquarterbackDantePas-
qualichio came at one of the
brief periods where the wind
wasnt rippingthroughthe stadi-
um.
The missed opportunities for
Dallas (0-2) came mainly in the
second quarter with Abington
leading 14-7.
Abington (2-0) fumbled away
the ball on three consecutive
drives, all inside its territory.
The first fumble popped into
the arms of Dallas linebacker
Kris Roccograndi in the back-
field, but he was unable to elude
the only Comet between him
and the end zone as he tried to
get his footingonthesoggyfield.
That drive ended at the Abing-
ton 32 on downs.
The Mountaineers pulled off a
successful fake punt after the
second Abington fumble. Suc-
cessful until the Comets reco-
vered a fumble at the end of the
run.
An interception by Pasquali-
chio at the goal line erased the
possible damage of Abingtons
third fumble.
We havent beenable to make
the big plays when we need to,
Zaruta said. Were not seizing
the opportunities. Theyre there,
but were not taking advantage.
A lot of times, we create the sit-
uation, but unfortunately we
havent been able to cash in.
And Abington did to score its
last touchdown with 7:38 left in
the fourth quarter. The Comets
took advantage of a short punt
andDallas inability tosniff out a
screen pass on a fourth-and-7 on
the 11-play, 32-yard drive.
The weather is one thing you
cant control, Abington coach
Joe Repshis said. We came
down here today focused on
playing a football game knowing
the conditions were the way
there were. We wantedtobe able
to control the ball, run the ball,
kindof quickenthegameandget
some points on the board and
put them in position where they
had to play from behind.
The Comets did that, putting
pressure on Dallas to throw in
the elements. And while Zapot-
icky and receivers Johnson and
Jason Simonovich make up one
of the WVCs more potent pass-
ing attacks, the trio couldnt find
continuity. Zapoticky finished 8-
of-17 for 126 yards, Simonovich,
the Mountaineers top returning
pass catcher from last year,
snagged a 6-yard pass on the
third play of the game but noth-
ing afterward.

Holy Cross vs. Holy
Redeemer
postponed
Weather forced the
postponement of Saturday
nights Holy Cross at Holy
Redeemer football game
scheduled for Wilkes-Barre
Memorial Stadium. The game
will be played at 6:30 p.m.
Monday at the stadium.
Also on Monday, Williamsport
will travel to Mifflin County to
complete a game suspended
Friday night due to lightning.
The resumption will begin at 5
p.m. with Mifflin County
leading 27-6 in the second
quarter.
It probably affected
our passing game more
(than Abington),but we
had trouble running the
ball, too. I wouldnt use
the weather as any ex-
cuse.

SOUTH CENTRE TWP. -- Af-
ter a disappointing effort against
Lackawanna Trail last week, Nan-
ticokes defense made sure the re-
sults would be much different
this week. The Trojans registered
seven quarterback sacks and al-
lowed just 109 total yards in a
36-0 shutout of Columbia-Mon-
tour Vo-Tech.
"They played well," Nanticoke
coach Ron Bruza said of his de-
fense. "We prepared well. We had
a tough loss last week with some
mental mistakes and big plays
that hurt us. So we tried to elim-
inate them. We played very well,
and Im happy with our perform-
ance up front. Our defense just
executed."
After picking up just one first
down on its opening drive, the
Trjoans offense would come to
life. Nanticoke would score on its
next three possessions, and its
defense and special teams would
also put points on the board.
Quarterback J.T. Levanadow-
ski got things started when he
scored on a 5-yard run with 4:49
left in the opening period. Nanti-
coke put the game away in the
second quarter with a huge 24-
point outburst that was started
by their defense with a safety.
On the ensuing free kick, Pat
Hempel fielded the ball at his 26
and was off to the races. The ju-
nior running back scored on a 74-
yard touchdown return, making
it 14-0.
"Hes a threat," Bruza said of
Hempel. "Weve worked really
hard on our special teams, and as
you could see (on Saturday) it
showed."
Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech
(0-2) would fail to mount any se-
rious scoring threats until late in
the game. The Nanticoke defense
pressured quarterback Dylan
Larkin all afternoon, and the
Rams were held to 59 yards rush-
ing on 38 attempts.
Nanticoke (1-1) continued to
build the lead before halftime.
Hempel would hit pay dirt on a
49-yard scoring run that finished
off a short, two-play scoring
drive. Three minutes later, Leva-
nadowski, on a fourth-and-2 play,
would break through the Rams
defense on a quarterback sneak
that resulted in a 60-yard touch-
down.
As an off-and-on heavy rain fell
and winds gusted in the second
half, the game got a bit sloppy.
But Nanticoke found the end
zone one more time midway
through the fourth quarter when
Maurice Wood scored on a 1-yard
run.

CARMEL, Ind. The BMW
Championship turned into golfs
version of an All-Star game
Saturday with Phil Mickelson
making 10 birdies to share the
lead with Vijay Singh, and a host
of other proven players lined up
behind them Saturday at
Crooked Stick.
Mickelson shrugged when
asked about all the stars on the
leaderboard, only because he
figured his name wasnt at the
top and there was still work to
be done. That was before Singh
had his only three-putt of the
tournament from about 45 feet
on the last hole that made him
settle for a 69.
They were at 16-under 200
going into a final round loaded
with possibilities.
Rory McIlroy, going for his
second straight FedEx Cup
playoff win and his PGA Tour-
leading fourth of the year, bird-
ied the 18th to salvage an ordi-
nary day with a 69. He was one
shot behind with Lee West-
wood, a former world No. 1 who
made all five of his birdies on
the back nine for a 68.
Dustin Johnson, who has
finished no worse than fourth in
the other two playoff events,
had a 67 and was in the group
two shots behind that included
Adam Scott and Robert Garri-
gus, who is trying to play his
way into the FedEx Cup finale
at East Lake in two weeks.
KINGSMILL CHAMPIONSHIP
WILLIAMSBURG, Va.
Paula Creamer moved into
position to end a two-year victo-
ry drought, shooting a 6-under
65 to take a two-stroke lead into
the final round of the Kingsmill
Championship.
The nine-time LPGA Tour
winner chipped in for birdie on
the par-4 13th in her bogey-free
round on Kingsmills River
Course. She had a 16-under 197
total, the lowest 54-hole score in
the history of the event.
Second-round leader Jiyai
Shin was second after a 69. She
also is winless since 2010.
Dewi Claire Schreefel and
Danielle Kang were 12 under.
Schreefel had a 69, and Kang
shot 70.
Second-ranked Staci Lewis
was 11 under along with Ai
Miyazato.

Once I tackled the hill, I never
looked back, so I wasnt sure
whether anyone was coming up
on me or not, Shoemaker said.
But, I was OKandheldonfor the
win.
Solomon, 32, of MountainTop,
won the female division in 20:36.
She outracedsecond-place finish-
er, Abbie Kearns, 21, of Scranton
and a student at the University of
Scranton, by 54 seconds.
It went well, saidSolomon. I
broke my arm about five weeks
ago and just recently had my cast
removed. So my training, of late,
has been kind of iffy. But I was
OK. It was pretty congested over
the first mile. I took control after
the first mile I broke away. After
that, I just started picking off
guys who were running ahead of
me en route to the finish.
John Major, 49, of Scranton,
won the First Male Cancer Survi-
vor to Finish the Run award,
clocking in at 26:26. And Karen
Gannon, 44, of Honesdale, won
the First Female Cancer Survivor
to Finish the Run award with a
26:35-time.
SCRANTONJakeShoemaker
and Nadalie Solomon led a field
of about 550 runners, capturing
overall maleandfemalehonors in
the Race for the Cure 5K Run on
Saturday at Courthouse Square
in downtown Scranton.
Shoemaker, 27, of Philadel-
phia, broke the tape in 17 min-
utes, 22 seconds. He outran sec-
ond-place finisher, Mark Arzie,
16, of Scott Township, by 40 sec-
onds.
Everyone started fast, said
Shoemaker, who ran track and
cross country in high school, but
not at the college level. I just
tried to keep an even pace. I took
control at around mile 1. Thats
when I pulled in front. After that,
I just tried to settle into a good
rhythm. I just tried to keep an
even pace and save energy for the
hill at Coopers (bar and restau-
rant).
The Philadelphian was given a
heads up about the hill at Coop-
ers by his sister-in-law, Jen Kin-
cel, who lives in Olyphant.
Jim Boettger, 62, of Duryea re-
ceived the overall male award in
the 5K walk, finishing in 37:05.
Marisa Naughton, 45, of Scran-
ton, wontopfemale honors inthe
walk, clocking in at 39:11. Aman-
da Jarrow, 25, of Jessup, was the
first femalecancer survivor tofin-
ish, clocking in at 38:56.
This years race, according to
Dolly Woody, executive director
of the Susan G. Komen Founda-
tion for Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia, drew around 6,500 (about
550 runners andthe rest walkers)
participants and raised around
$200,000, between sponsors and
participants.
Last year, between the race
and other events, we were able to
fund around $270,000 for educa-
tion, screening and treatment
grants to non-profit organiza-
tions throughout 16 counties in
Northeastern Pennsylvania,
said Woody. And it looks like
were going to reach our goal of
$275,000 for this years race.
Woody said, Its all about the
hope coming together. The en-
ergy and spirit of the day is out-
standing. This race is the largest
5K cause-related event in north-
eastern Pennsylvania. And were
close to our goal.
Seventy-five percent of the
money from the event stays in
northeastern Pennsylvania. The
other 25 percent go for breast
cancer research.

Cure event won by Philadelphian
By ROBERT MINER
Thanks to
high school
football keep-
ing me extra
busy at work
and the spotty
weather weve
had the last
few weeks, Ive hardly had a
chance to get on my bike at
all.
But the good people at the
Wilkes-Barre YMCA and Lu-
zerne County Bikes and Walks
may just have the answer for
me.
The two are combining for
Y Cycle Sundays, a series of
four morning rides to areas of
interest in the Wyoming Valley
and Hazleton.
We do Y Walk Wednesdays
to increase peoples physical
activity and so people have fun
and get used to walking
around downtown, said Mi-
chelle Schasberger, of the
Wilkes-Barre YMCA and Lu-
zerne County Bikes and Walks.
The bike rides seemed like a
logical extension of the walks,
according to Schasberger.
Todays ride will leave the
parking lot across from the
YMCA on Northampton Street
in Wilkes-Barre at 9:30 a.m. It
will take River Street and the
levee system to Barney Farms
and the Wyoming Valley Sani-
tary Authority in Hanover
Township.
Once at the WVSA, an offi-
cial will give a brief talk about
the Authority and what it does
for the Wyoming Valley.
(Heres a hint: its a dirty
job, but somebody has to do
it.)
The total trip should be
about four miles. A good dis-
tance for someone just starting
out.
Its (a good distance) for a
beginner interested riding in a
group, Schasberger said.
There really arent that many
group rides for beginners.
Most of them start at 25
miles and that can be a little
daunting.
Schasberger added that the
rides are great opportunties
for families to get out together.
OK, Im certainly not a be-
ginner, but I did say I havent
ridden that much lately.
The rides will continue
through September, ending
with a ride in the Hazleton
area on Oct. 3.
Survey underway
In addition to planning
rides, Luzerne County Bikes
and Walks is also busy track-
ing pedestrians and cyclists in
downtown Wilkes-Barre.
With the help of students
from Kings College and
Wilkes University, the group
was counting the number of
walkers and riders at several
points downtown today. The
process will continue through-
out the week.
They take their counts in
the morning, at lunch time
and early evening.
They then use the numbers
to look for changes in patterns
of use in the area and to com-
pare our area to other parts of
the country.
According to Schasberger,
the aim of the project is to see
how people are using the
downtown area.
One thing they learned, we
have a busy downtown.
A lot of people say Down-
town Wilkes-Barre is dead,
Schasberger said. Our down-
town is very far from being
dead.
This is the third year the
group has down the count.
Numbers from pervious years
are available on the groups
website.
If you are interested in help-
ing, contact Schasberger at
714-1953.
Race results
Richard Meekers string of
victories finally came to an
end.
The former Plymouth resi-
dents streak of 14 victories
ended at the USA Cyclings
Masters Road Nationals in
Bend, Ore.
No shame for Meeker here,
though. He finished second in
the 50-59 road race Thursday
night.
David Novaks fall season
at Lindsey Wilson College has
begun.
Novak, a sophomore from
Tunkhannock, was on his
mountain bike at the Red
Hawks Romp in Wild Rose,
Wisc., earlier this month. He
finished 10th in the short track
cross country race and 13th in
the cross country event.
Luke Lukas, of Courtdale,
competed in the Green Moun-
tain Stage Race in Vermont
recently.
Lukas best finish in the
four-day event was 56th in the
junior division criterium.

MADRID Alberto Conta-
dor kept the overall leaders red
jersey and is closing in on his
second Spanish Vuelta title af-
ter Denis Menchov won Satur-
days punishing 20th stage.
Alejandro Valverde and Joa-
quin Rodriguez, Contadors
closest pursuers in the general
classification, finished ahead of
the Spanish leader but the dif-
ference wasnt enough to close
the gap.
Contador finished 4 minutes,
15 seconds behind Menchov to
run his overall time to 82:14:52,
which was 1:16 quicker than
Valverde and 1:37 ahead of Ro-
driguez before Sundays last
stage, a largely processional 71-
mile ride into Madrid.
Contador is on the verge of a
fifth major victory to go with a
pair of Tour de France titles
and the 2008 Giro dItalia,
which he won before his first
Vuelta victory later that same
year.
Yes, now the Vuelta is prac-
tically won, the Madrid native
said. It has been very difficult
and weve had to hold our head
high and our legs strong.
On the bending climb to the
weather station atop the Bola
del Mundo, Contador was just
in front of Valverde and Rodri-
guez as the peloton eased from
smooth pavement to an uneven
surface as throngs of fans
choked the road.
Rodriguez made a late dash
as the riders dug in and the pe-
loton slowed to a crawl at
times while navigating the 23
percent angled climb to the fin-
ish.
C YC L I N G : S PA N I S H V U E LTA
Menchov wins 20th leg;
Contador set for victory
last names that are familiar.
An older sister used to be a
Comet perhaps. Or, after 37 sea-
sons, a mom used to play for
Gemski.
Its very special strong
words extremely special,
Gemski said. It makes you feel
wonderful to be around that kind
of energy and excitement (from
the players). And the parents are
a large, crucial part of the journey
every year.
I think its tradition, its the
love of the game, assistant coach
and former standout goalie Lissa
Munley said. For her, winning
comes second, everything else
comes first.
Keeping all the girls, not cut-
ting anyone, said assistant
coach Patsy Moratori, another
former Comet star. Thats differ-
ent from everyone else. They all
get a chance. I respect that.
She does say hockey is your
main focus during the season.
But outside of the season, she
wants the girls to play basketball
or softball. Thats another thing,
too. We dont do much in the off-
season.
CHANGE IN THE AIR: The
days of offsides calls, no self-
starts, shots from outside the cir-
cle and limited substitutions are
all in the past. Gemski remem-
bers them, but they are all erased
from her playbook.
Shes changed with the
game, said Moratori, who
played at Crestwood in the 1980s
before starring at Connecticut.
Some coaches just want to do it
the oldschool way. She sees what
theyre doing in college and else-
where, and adapts.
Shes really changing with the
times, said Munley, who played
collegiately at Iowa. Shes learn-
ing to live in (the players) world.
They dance before a game and
thats OK. Thats something my
class didnt do.
BY THE NUMBERS: Crest-
wood has won four state cham-
pionships and 18 District 2 titles
under Gemski.
The Comets have had 133 col-
lege players, with 39 being
named team captains. Twenty
Crestwood alums are currently
playing collegiately and two
more are head coaches.
Gemski has a dozen 20-win
seasons to her credit (including
the last three) and just two losing
seasons in her 27 seasons. One
was her programs first season in
1976, when the Comets were 5-
6-2. The other came in 1979,
meaning it has been 32 seasons
since her last sub-.500 record.
ADMIRED BY ALL: Gem-
ski, a Hall of Famer, is still a leg-
end at her alma mater.
Shes a great supporter of
Temple, head coach Amanda
Janney said last month. Coach
Gemski and her husband come
down when they can. They love
to talk Temple football and field
hockey. Six hundred wins is a
great accomplishment.
It wasnt that long ago that the
Comets coach was earning trib-
utes for half that many wins.
People dont understand how
difficult it is to start up and main-
tain a programat such a high lev-
el, Berwick football coach Ge-
orge Curry said of Gemski in
1997, whenbothcoaches reached
300 wins. Anyone who can do
that is doingsomethingtruly out-
standing.
WHATITMEANS: Theplay-
ers knew this win was coming
and their first goal for the season
was to make it happen.
We definitely want to win it
for her, junior forward Marissa
Surdy said Thursday after Crest-
wood beat Dallas. We really
want to get it for her Saturday. It
would mean a lot to us, too.
For Gemski, she can look back
at a program born as a club team
in 1973 and is now a national
powerhouse 600 wins later.
Its just a matter of a love for a
sport, Gemski said. And Ive
been fortunate enough to be sur-
rounded by so much support at
the beginning of it all. So many
embraced the program in the
early stages and now it is just on-
going.

OUT DOORS
NOT ES
The big picture looks great.
A recent survey conducted by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service found
that hunters nationwide increased by
nine percent, while the number of
anglers jumped 11 percent in 2011.
Thats great news, but on the state
level things are disappointing.
Pennsylvania hunting license sales
dropped from 945,892 in 2006 to
933,208 last year.
Thats alarming, considering the
numerous efforts that the Pennsylvania
Game Commission has made to boost
hunting opportunities in the state.
So what is happening on a national
scale that is allowing participation in
hunting to increase that isnt happen-
ing here?
Well, to be fair, hunting may not be
declining in the state as much it ap-
pears at least in recent years.
The last major decrease in hunting
license sales occurred in 2005 when
the number dropped by almost 50,000
from1.01 million in 2004 to 964,158 the
next year.
After that, the numbers fluctuate,
beginning with two more years of
smaller decrease, followed by a slight
gain of 2,400 in 2008 and a 21,000 hike
in 2009, a 20,000 drop in 2010 and a
nearly 4,000 upswing last year.
In 2005 something happened to force
so many people from the sport. Deer
numbers are a common culprit, and it
cant be ruled out. I still hear as many
complaints about low deer numbers as
anything else.
Did hunters reach a breaking point in
2005 with a lack of deer in areas, re-
sulting in many giving up the sport?
Perhaps.
But in the last six years, with hunt-
ing license sales experiencing three
declines and three increases, it leads
me to believe there is another factor
involved.
To me, it indicates that the hunters
are out there and many are simply
buying a license when its convenient.
When the notion strikes them.
Its a churn rate that the Pennsylva-
nia Fish and Boat Commission has
been experiencing for years and theyre
working on some innovative programs
to combat the problem.
The detailed state report will be
released later this month, but two
states Mississippi and Alabama, have
been identified as showing increases in
licensed hunters.
Why?
Simplicity.
For a Mississippi resident, there are
only a couple of decisions to be made.
First, they have to pick a Wildlife Man-
agement Area there are six in the
state, and buy a $17 permit. After that,
choose from a Sportsmans License,
which includes everything small
game, fall turkey, archery, deer and
even freshwater fishing for $34 or a
lesser package including deer and
fishing for $19.
Easy.
For those who are more specific
about their season, Mississippi offer
crossbow licenses, fall turkey permits
and small game/freshwater fishing
options.
Alabama is even easier.
Residents can pick the All Game
Hunting License for $25.05 and hunt
all legal game in the state. Thats after
the purchase of a $16.70 Wildlife Man-
agement Area License.
And, get this, if you are a resident of
Alabama and hunt on your own land,
you dont need to purchase a license.
Im not implying that the PGC
should copy the licensing programs
from these two states. In fact, Im hes-
itant to compare Pennsylvania to any
other state.
But when I take a look at Pennsylva-
nias (a state where sales have de-
creased compared to six years ago)
licensing guidelines and the licensing
options of two states where sales have
increased, there is a major difference.
Perhaps, when it comes to hunting
licenses in Pennsylania, perhaps less
will equal more.

WEEKLY BASS TOURNAMENT STANDI NGS
STROUDSBURG -- Eric Uh-
lers routine for the last six
months came to an abrupt halt
on Friday.
Since March, Uhler, who
operates the Pocono Wildlife
Rehabilitation and Education
Center with his wife, Kathy, has
cared for two orphaned black
bear cubs -- cleaning their pen,
monitoring their health and
feeding them twice a day.
He knew the goal was to raise
the cubs so they would eventu-
ally be returned to the wild.
Still, when that day came on
Friday morning, Uhler admits it was a
bittersweet feeling.
Its difficult. You dont want to get
attached to these animals, but when they
come in here as cubs they want contact,
Uhler said. Once they are old enough to
move into the big pen, I distance myself
as much as possible. Our goal is to get
every animal as wild as we can and re-
lease it. These arent pets.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission
picked up the cubs and transported them
to State Game Lands 13 in Sullivan Coun-
ty a nearly 50,000 acre expanse that will
give the bears plenty of room to roam.
The cubs a male and a female, were
brought to the center in March and were
each just over a month old. The male was
found in Luzerne County near Mountain
Top after a homeowner called the Game
Commission to report it in a tree in his
yard. Wildlife Conservation Officer Cory
Bentzoni, who covers part of Monroe
County, said the mother never returned
for the cub for several days.
We dont know what happened to the
mother. It may have been hit on the
road, he said. The cub weighed under
five pounds, which is less than half the
weight it shouldve been.
Not long after Bentzoni
brought the cub to the Uhlers,
another one arrived from Ly-
coming County after its mother
was hit by a car.
PGC biologist Kevin Wenner
said the agencys prefers to
place orphaned cubs in a den
with another female. That
wasnt possible this time, he
said, because an early warm
spell brought many bears out of
their dens ahead of schedule.
This is actually a last resort
because we prefer to keep them
with another female bear, Wen-
ner said. But with these two
cubs, it was too late in the spring and we
just couldnt find any females in their
dens.
If the Uhers hadnt been equipped to
care for bears, the cubs wouldve perished,
Bentzoni said.
Kathy is one of the few rehabbers in
the state that we trust to handle a bear,
he said.
The center has successfully raised and
released 10 bears over the last several
years. Kathy Uher said its easier when
cubs are brought in as pairs because they
tend to grow up wild in the large pen that
Center returns orphaned bears to their natural habitat

is isolated from the rest of the
facility.
The center raises a variety
of orphaned or injured animals
foxes, raccoons, bald eagles
with the goal of releasing
them back into the wild.
Kathy Uhler, who has been a
wildlife rehabilitator for 31
years, said working with bears
is a bit different.
You have to keep your eyes
open and be careful, she said.
We want them to be wild so
theyre not tame. Bears are
smart animals and its a privi-
lege to work with them.
After they were brought to
the center in March, the Uh-
ers fed the cubs a formula
specific for black bears. They
went through six five-gallon
buckets, which each cost $225.
Once the cubs were big
enough to move into the
larger pen, Eric Uher fed them
trout from a nearby hatchery,
fresh produce and wild grapes.
When it came time to go
back to the wild, the male that
once weighed less than five
pounds was now a healthy 75
pounds. The female weighed
in at 81 pounds.
They are a very healthy
weight. Theyve been fed
well, Wenner said.
Before the cubs could be
moved, Wenner and Sullivan
County WCO Rick Finnegan
entered the pen and tranquil-
ized each one with a sedative.
They were then carried out-
side and placed in the shade
where Wenner gave them a
quick health inspection,
cleaned their ears and tattooed
an identification number inside
their upper lip.
Wenner didnt administer a
reversal drug in order to allow
the cubs to remain sedated for
part of the hour-long trip to
Sullivan County. SGL 13 pro-
vides everything necessary for
the cubs to survive, according
to PGC information and educa-
tion supervisor Bill Williams.
The vast forest contains a
multitude of black cherry trees
an essential food source
along with plenty of swamps,
streams and other bears. The
site is remote and far from
people, reducing the risk that
the cubs will get into trouble.
They will be released to-
gether and because theyre
immature and wont breed this
year, territorial issues with
other bears shouldnt be a
problem, Williams said.
BEARS
After the cubs left the Pocono
Wildlife Rehabilitation and Educa-
tion Center on Friday, Kathy and
Eric Uher prepared for another
farewell. That afternoon they
released a juvenile bald eagle that
was brought to the center six
weeks ago by the Pennsylvania
Game Commission. When it was
brought in, it had a bruised wing
and a severe lung infection, Kathy
Uher said. We took it to an animal
hospital in Bethlehem for x-rays,
wrapped the wing and put it on
antibiotics for the lung infection.
After a few weeks of physical
therapy in the flight pen to get the
wing back in shape, the eagle was
ready to be released. Kathy Uher
said it will be returned to where it
was found in Monroe County, and
the family unit which is still in
the area -- should accept it.

T O H E L P
Game Lands tour planned
As part of the Pennsylvania
Game Commissions efforts to
highlight its ongoing habitat
improvement initiatives, the
public is invited to take part in
upcoming tours of several State
Game Lands between Sept. 22
and Oct. 14. All tours are free.
State Game Land tours pro-
vide the opportunity for those
who enjoy nature to come out
and talk with our employees
the people who are directly
responsible for managing and
protecting these lands, said
Carl G. Roe, Game Commission
executive director. With au-
tumn nearly here, these tours
will provide a chance to see
some of the best scenery the
Commonwealth has to offer.
These tours afford hunters and
trappers and others who appre-
ciate wildlife the opportunity to
see how the Game Commission
is spending hunting and furtak-
er license fees to acquire and to
manage these lands for wild-
life.
In 1919, the Game Commis-
sion was granted authority to
purchase lands for the protec-
tion, propagation and manage-
ment of game and wildlife, and
to provide areas for public hunt-
ing and trapping. Since that
time, the Game Commission
has acquired more than 1.4
million acres in 65 of the states
67 counties (Philadelphia and
Delaware counties being the
exceptions).
With few exceptions, State
Game Lands were purchased
using revenues from hunting
and furtaker license sales; State
Game Lands timber, coal, oil,
gas and mineral operation reve-
nues; the states share of a feder-
al excise tax on sporting arms
and ammunition, known as the
Pittman-Robertson Program;
from Working Together for
Wildlife artwork and patch
sales; and from the Pennsylvania
Waterfowl Management stamp
and print sales.
Information on local tours is
as follows:
Luzerne/Wyoming Counties:

OUTDOORS NEWS
NEW YORK With a poten-
tially dangerous storm bearing
down on the U.S. Open, play was
suspended in the first set of de-
fendingchampionNovakDjokov-
ics semifinal Saturday, making
this the fifth consecutive year the
tournament will fail to finish on
time because of the weather.
Djokovic was trailing fourth-
seeded David Ferrer 5-2 after
about a half-hour of action when
tournament referee Brian Earley
came out on court and told the
players and the chair umpire that
they needed to stop.
As some spectators at Arthur
Ashe Stadiumbooed or whistled,
an announcement over the loud-
speakers said: At this time, we
ask you to please make your way
out of the stadium in an orderly
fashion.
That match, which will deter-
mine who faces Olympic cham-
pion Andy Murray in the final,
was scheduledtoresumetodayat
11 a.m. EDT. The mens final was
shifted from its originally sched-
uled Sunday slot to Monday
something that has happened at
every U.S. Open since 2008.
I would say were getting very
tired of having Monday finals,
tournament director DavidBrew-
er said.
The womens final between Se-
rena Williams and Victoria Aza-
renka that was supposed to be
playedSaturdaynight wasshifted
totodayat 4:30p.m. Itsthefourth
time in the last five years the
womens title match was resche-
duled.
Unlike at Wimbledon and the
Australian Open, the U.S. Open
doesnot havearoof toprotect any
courtusedfortournamentmatch-
es. Its also the only Grand Slam
tournament that schedules two
mens semifinals on Saturday,
which leaves less roomfor sched-
uling flexibility when there is dis-
ruptive weather.
Next year, for the first time, a
day off will be inserted between
the semifinals and final, either by
shifting the semis to Friday or by
changing the title match to Mon-
day.
Brewer said he did consider
moving the Ferrer-Djokovic
match to another court and play-
ing it at the same time as Murray-
Berdych, but we thought the on-
ly way to go was to keep them
back-to-backinAsheout of defer-
ence to ticket-holders, TV part-
ners and viewers around the
world.
There was a rain delay of more
than an hour Saturday morning,
delayingthe start of Murrays 5-7,
6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (7) victory over To-
mas Berdychof the CzechRepub-
lic in the opening semifinal. At
least they got to finish, even if it
meant dealing with 20 mph wind
that blewachangeover chair onto
thecourt ononepoint andyanked
Murrays hat off during another.
Im surprised it didnt happen
more, Murray said. It was so, so
windy.
Intheend, henavigatedhisway
into his fifth Grand Slamfinal.
Now hell try to win his first
Grand Slam title and first for
any British man in 76 years.
It was brutal, Murray said
about theconditions duringhis 3-
hour, 58-minute victory. Hard to
describe. You had to focus for ev-
ery single point. ... Some of the
hardest conditions Ive ever
played in, for sure, and I come
from Scotland, so thats saying
something.
This major tournament is the
first since the 2004 French Open
with neither Roger Federer nor
Rafael Nadal in the semifinals.

Guard was well re-
ceived. More than a
dozen people emailed
in answers to the trivia question by 10
a.m. Sunday and Maylan Nicholson
was the winner. She was the first to say
that adult head lice have six legs when
she emailed her response at 5:56 a.m.
A counselor at the Dana Elementary
Center in Forty Fort, Nicholson said
she would provide her sample packs
to a needy family who is having fi-
nancial difficulties treating their chil-
dren who are infested. Believe it or
not, this happens more than you
think.
Thank you Maylan for all you do and
for using your winnings to help those
in need. And thanks to LiceGuard,
which has told me theyll be providing
extra samples in their package so May-
lan can help more families in need.

Then a partner in the restaurant fell ill, mak-
ing its planned late October opening uncer-
tain.
During a recent tour, Tassone showed off
the work done so far and described the spa-
cious apartments and amenities he believes
would turn the former factory in Wilkes-
Barreintoa highlyprofitableandhighlysat-
isfying venture. But he needs help, whether
its someone to help run the restaurant or a
partner with the $3 million to $4 million he
says it will take to realize the project. In the
meantime, hes turned down at least one pur-
chase offer, although he says he might be
tempted by a better one.
Street Realty bought the 80,000-square-foot
building and 3 acres of land for $100,000,
thinking it was an affordable place to move
his Pool Factory business. Sometime later,
Tassonebegantoseemorepossibilities inthe
114-year-old brick walls and maple flooring,
and in September 2007 he received zoning
approval to build offices, apartments, a res-
taurant and a fitness club.
But just as his plans were coming together,
the economy was falling apart. Since then
Tassone has used a series of refinancings to
keep his dream alive while turning his other
business interests around. Realizing he
couldnt afford to do it all at once, he refin-
ished some of the ground floor into restau-
O

ment. Renters of luxury apartments on the
upper floors are arriving home from work
and getting a quick workout in the on-site fit-
ness club before heading downstairs for din-
ner at the Braziliansteakhouse. Clients come
and go fromthe day spa, or stop by to gaze at
the paintings in the first-floor art gallery.
Its been nine years since Tassones Empire

Keeping a vision alive
A
dozen years ago, as owner and
editor of The Dallas Post, I
wrote plenty of editorials decry-
ing the gift of Keystone Opportunity
Zone tax waivers that helped lure Com-
monwealth Telephone Company and
more than 300 jobs to Wilkes-Barre, 10
miles away. The company wasnt add-
ing any jobs, but was removing hun-
dreds of potential customers for Back
Mountain restaurants and shops.
Now I work in Wilkes-Barre and the
move is going the other way, with the
announcement by Commonwealth
successor Frontier Communications
that its downtown staff now just over
100 will move back to its Dallas
Township facilities. Wilkes-Barre busi-
nesses will now have to adapt to fewer
lunches sold and birthday cards pur-
chased.
Wilkes-Barres loss may be the Back
Mountains gain this time, but the
beneficiaries of this expensive shell
game are few. Certainly Common-
wealth and then Frontier saved on rent
because landlord Humford Equities
didnt have to pay property taxes on
the Wilkes-Barre Center building for 10
years. Those savings hopefully will be
offset over the next decades by a high-
er assessment due to $11 million in
renovations made to accommodate the
company.
But the losers outnumber winners,
most notably taxpayers in the Wilkes-
Barre Area School District, which gave
up more than $1 million in property tax
revenue, and the city, which gave up
about half that.
What didnt happen in return, and
was not required under KOZ rules, was
job creation. To get the goodies, Com-
monwealth simply had to keep its
Dallas Township office open, hardly a
tough demand since its maintenance
center is based there. While new jobs
werent a necessary part of the deal,
David Black, deputy secretary of the
state office of Community and Eco-
nomic Development, said Common-
wealth was growing quickly and would
surely add jobs.
In fact, what Commonwealths exec-
utives were doing was positioning the
company for a sale in part by cutting
costs wherever possible in order to
improve profitability and the potential
sale price. Their efforts were rewarded
in 2006 when they struck a deal to sell
the company to Citizens Communi-
cations operator of the Frontier brand
for more than $1 billion. Instead of
adding jobs, Citizens announced 51
layoffs just a month after the deal
closed in March 2007, a continuing
trend that resulted in one-third as
many jobs going back to Dallas as
came from there.
Frontier said the decision to now
consolidate its employees in Dallas had
nothing to do with expiration of the
KOZ. While that may not be the only
reason, it had to be part of the equation
that is causing them to walk away from
a lease that extends to 2016.
State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, whose
district included Dallas Township in
2000, asks, What good did it do to
give them that tax break? Good ques-
tion, and another one is whether well
be smarter in the future. Mundys not
optimistic given the proposed billion-
dollar windfall Gov. Corbett is propos-
ing to give Shell if it builds a chemical
plant near the western Pennsylvania
border.
Theres no requirement to hire Penn-
sylvanians, she says, so (We) are going
to be subsidizing jobs for Ohio and
West Virginia residents.
At a time when every individual and
government is pinching pennies, the
state needs to be sure theres a return
on every dollar of taxpayer subsidy for
businesses and not give away the store
while betting on rewards that may
never materialize.

QUESTION: Im afraid that I might be
fired from my first professional job. Four
months ago, after finishing law school, I
was hired by a very large firm that has
no orientation or training program. My
boss keeps saying "just figure it out" and
gets angry if I ask other attorneys for
help.
Unfortunately, my boss and I also
seem to have a terrible communication
problem. Whenever I ask a question, she
gives me a long answer that I dont
understand, which is very frustrating.
She must be frustrated as well, because
she has started rolling her eyes and
sighing when I walk into her office.
I have considered quitting my job to
avoid being fired for poor performance.
However, I hate to give up so quickly. Is
there any way out of this dilemma?
ANSWER: Feeling like a failure in
your first job is a horrible experience,
but dont be too hard on yourself. This
law firm apparently has a sink-or-swim
culture, in which new hires are largely
left to fend for themselves. In such envi-
ronments, the underlying management
philosophy seems to be survival of the
fittest, so training, coaching and peer
support are virtually nonexistent.
Under normal circumstances, your
immediate manager would be expected
to help you conquer the learning curve,
but since discussions with her are un-
productive, you will need to find anoth-
er suitable mentor. Fortunately, most
large law firms have a human resources
manager or a partner responsible for
new associates, either of whom should
be able to help.
Without criticizing your boss or the
firm, explain the challenges you are
facing and ask how other beginners
have managed to learn the ropes. If it
seems appropriate, consider asking your
new ally to facilitate a performance-
planning discussion with your manager.
Having a "translator" available might
help to reduce the communication bar-
riers.
But if your adjustment continues to
be difficult, dont despair. This big,
impersonal organization may simply not
be a good fit for you. Many attorneys
who struggle in a large firm find that
they thrive in a smaller, more support-
ive practice.
Q: My boss frequently expects me to
put in very long hours. How many hours
per day can he force me to work?
A: The answer depends on the type of
position you hold. If you are in a non-
exempt job covered by federal wage
laws, you generally cant be asked to
work more than eight hours a day with-
out overtime pay. If you have a union
contract, then your hours and compen-
sation will be defined by that agree-
ment.
On the other hand, if you hold a typ-
ical salaried position, which is exempt
from federal guidelines, there is no legal
limit on your work hours. Salaried em-
ployees are normally expected to pro-
duce desired results no matter how long
it takes.
Of course, as a person with free will,
you cant technically be "forced" to work
any extra time. But if you refuse, you
run the risk that your boss wont be
"forced" to keep you on the payroll.

HICAGO As Lake Forest, Ill., economist Mike Moebs planned for his marriage last
year, his lawyer pressed him for a complete list of assets.
Initially, the frequent-flier miles detailed in his online travel records didnt even cross
Moebs minduntil his family lawattorney recognizedthe value of anasset Moebs large-
ly manages online.
We gave a lot of thought to the
things that I own, said the chief ex-
ecutive of Moebs Services. Ive
flown, just on American Airlines,
more than 3 million miles, and I have
a half a million miles I havent used.
To prepare for the worst, Moebs al-
so has created an inventory of user
names, passwords and answers to se-
curity questions for more than 50 ac-
counts, including online bank and in-
vestment records, and billing setups
for credit cards and phone bills. His
family and close business colleagues
canaccess themif he dies premature-
ly or is incapacitated.
Indeed, family heirlooms and re-
cords arent what they used to be.
Nowadays everything from photos
and music to financial statements
and tax documents are increasingly
likely to be created, stored or ac-
cessedvia computers, mobile phones
or other devices.
Im revamping my personal and
business trusts to include all digital
assets and what I want done with
them, Moebs said.
He appears to be far ahead of the
curve. Estate planners, lawyers and
surveys indicate that fewpeople have
begun revising their family and es-
tate plans to keep pace with the new
reality of digital assets and online ac-
counts.
In a recent survey by BMO Retire-
ment Institute, more than half of sur-
vey respondents age 45 and older
with digital property believe its very
or somewhat important to put plans
in place for their personal and finan-
cial online assets, yet 57 percent of
them havent made such provisions.
When asked why theyve failed to
do so, the two most common an-
swers, overwhelmingly, were didnt
think of it and I dont think its nec-
essary.
Chicago lawyer Richard Magnone
suggests a reason: People dont
think of digital assets in the same
way as tangible assets.
Yet in an increasingly paperless
world, not accounting for passwords
and other online records could leave
already grieving loved ones or busi-
ness associates unable to access ac-
counts promptly, keep finances cur-
rent or continue to run a business.
And unless such provisions are
made, some email providers might
deny family members access to the
deceaseds accounts, oftena doorway
to other online assets.
Take Yahoos terms of service,
found under a link on its home page.
At nearly the end of its eight pages,
theres a reference to no right of sur-
vivorship and non-transferability.
Digital asset case law is scant, but
inone of the earliest court fights over
such property, a Michigan court or-
dered Yahoo to turn over the con-
tents of Justin Ellsworths account in
2005 after the Marine was killed in
actionandhis familysought toget ac-
cess to his emails.
Several states have passed laws ad-
dressing various digital concerns,
but the legislationvaries greatly. As a
result, the Uniform Law Commis-
sion, alsoknownas theNational Con-
ference of Commissioners on Uni-
form State Laws, has a committee
that is drafting recommendations for
state legislatures to enact concern-
ing the rights of a fiduciary to man-
age and distribute digital assets,
copy or delete digital assets and ac-
cess digital assets.
A fiduciary who is administering
an estate or the affairs of an incapac-
itated individual needs to be able to
find, access, value, protect and trans-
fer the individuals online accounts
and digital property, the commission
said. Because of the need to protect
against fraud and identity theft, in re-
cent years it has become increasingly
difficult for fiduciaries to get access
to digital information promptly and
efficiently, the commission said.
In2007, Indiana declaredthat elec-
tronic documents are to be consid-
ered estate property. The law re-
quires a person who electronically
stores documents or information of
another person who is deceased to
give the personal representative of
that estate access to or copies of the
stored documents or information.
Its time we realized so many im-
portant documents in a persons life
are now stored electronically, one
Indiana state senator said at the
time. The old-fashioned paper trail
has given way to computer files, the
rights of which must be protected
just the same as you would seek to
protect personal property.

RINGING UP SALES
Customers are willing to pay for better cameras and faster
performance, making the best-selling smartphones the ones with
the highest price tags. The industry is on pace to sell 674 million
smartphones this year, according to Credit Suisse analysts. Of
them, 28 percent will
cost more than $500.
Last year, phones that
price accounted for 25
percent of total sales.
That growing popular-
ity will likely most
benefit Apple and
Samsung, which
together account for 87
percent of the high-end
market through the
iPhone and Galaxy
lines of phones, Credit
Suisse says.
HOUSING NOT ENOUGH
The housing markets collapse led the economy into a reces-
sion, so its reasonable to get excited about the last few
months of improved housing data. But dont get carried away.
The housing industry accounts for less than 2 percent of the
profits for the Standard & Poors 500 index, according to
Deutsche Bank. That
means that a housing
recovery will a mod-
est improvement to
overall corporate
profits. And over the
long term, the stock
market tends to follow
the trend of corporate
earnings. For earn-
ings to keep rising,
investors still need
the global economy
to strengthen.

FALLING IN FALL
Its cutting season for financial analysts. Going back to 2000, October
and September have been the two months for analysts to cut their
earnings estimates. Such moves can hurt stocks, because their prices
depend in part on expectations for their future profits.
The timing may be because investors and analysts are returning
from vacation and at-
tend industry confer-
ences, Barclays strate-
gist Barry Knapp says.
This month alone, 180
conferences are sched-
uled to occur. Analysts
across Wall Street ex-
pect earnings per share
to rise 12 percent for
S&P 500 companies in
2013. Knapp says its
more likely to be 4 per-
cent. Source: Credit Suisse Source: FactSet

Title: Chief investment strategist at
Advisors Asset Management
What he suggests: Stick with
stocks despite worries about the
fiscal cliff
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
Matthew Lloyd
One of the big worries for investors
is the fiscal cliff looming at the end
of the year. Thats what economists
are calling a slate of scheduled
government spending cuts and
tax-rate hikes to take effect if
Congress doesnt reach a budget
agreement. But Matthew Lloyd
says stock prices can continue to
rise despite the concerns.
How worried should we be?
When we look at the fiscal cliff, it is
very heightened because of the
political tension: Which party can
cause their constituents to be more
fearful, and therefore head to the
polls? But by the end of this
conversation, by the end of this
election, I think you will see a very
muted effect. Well see the
discussion go up to the deadline,
and then there will be some kind of
patch, some kind of extension. I
think there will be a very limited
impact on the U.S. economy when
all is said and done. We always see
the saber rattling being far worse
than what ultimately happens.
But if Congress just delays the
tax increases and spending cuts,
that doesnt fix the problem. It
just moves it into the future.
Yes, we are kicking the can down
the road. But if you look at the
improvement thats going on in
housing and the potential for other
stimulus packages floating out
there, that has the potential of
having significant impact. A lot can
happen in that timeframe.
So, investors dont need to
make big changes in anticipa-
tion of the fiscal cliff?
Is your perspective that the glass is
half-full or half-empty? Some
people call it purgatory: The
economy is not slow enough for the
Fed to act but not fast enough
where people are feeling better and
spending more.
I tend to take the half-full
perspective at this point, probably
because a lot of people are taking
the glass half-empty approach. We
know that the Fed can step in with
some kind of support program. So if
a recession does happen, youve
got a large backstop with the Fed.
And there is a lot of liquidity out
there: Households and corporations
are holding a lot of cash. So, for us,
the best place to be is risky assets in
the next few years. Were bullish on
stocks, were bullish on real estate.
But isnt it a worry that the
market seems to be addicted to
Fed stimulus?
Look at the fundamentals. I think
this last quarter is instrumental in
this, when the markets climbed a
wall of worry. With the worries
about Europe, China, tax rates, the
fiscal cliff, people say that theres
no way the equity markets should
be higher. But 75 percent of
companies beat earnings
estimates for the second quarter.
Now, if you look at stock prices
relative to earnings per share,
theyre at a 20 percent discount to
what they were over the last
decade. Relative to their cash flow,
its a 40 percent discount. Those are
reasons why the market doesnt
have too much downside to it,
regardless of what happens to the
Fed.

the cliff
InsiderQ&A

Internet IPO pops &flops
Facebook isnt the only Internet-related IPO to flop so
far. A parade of buzzworthy companies have debuted
in the last two years, and most are trading below their
initial public offering price. Investors are wary that
earnings growth wont measure up to the hype.
Facebook investors are concerned about its ability
to keep increasing revenue and make money from its
growing mobile audience. And that same audience is
playing fewer Zynga games on Facebook. Groupon
has had the steepest decline of 80 percent as financial
analysts continue to question the soundness of its daily
deals business model.
Some successes exist. Analysts at Jefferies envision
that the professional networking website, LinkedIn
(LNKD), will see its revenue rise from a projected $522
million this year to $1.8 billion in 2014.

Finally, the housing market appears to be recovering.
The improvements are modest, to be sure, but they are at least heading
in the right direction following the industrys bust in 2006: Home prices na-
tionwide rose 1.2 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier, accord-
ing to the S&P/Case-Shiller home price index. Sales of new homes
strengthened to match a two-year high in the most recent report for July.
The obvious beneficiaries of a housing recovery, such as homebuilders
and home improvement retailers, have already seen their stocks surge.
Homebuilder Lennar, for example, jumped 65 percent in the first eight
months of 2012. This screen shows other kinds of stocks that JPMorgan
strategist Thomas Lee says could also be winners from a housing recovery.
Terex and Caterpillar would sell more of their construction equipment.
Owens Corning makes fiberglass insulation, while Georgia Gulf sells every-
thing from patio doors to pipe fittings. Watts Water Technologies makes
products used in plumbing and heating systems, and it gets 50 percent of its
revenue from the residential market.

SHOULD THESE MOMS
BE DEPORTED?
A
KRON, Ohio - In the year
since her husband was
deported to Mexico for
working in America
without legal status, Leo-
nor Ferreyra has struggled as a
single mother.
At 3 a.m., she rises to feed her
infant son, who suffers ear infec-
tions. At 6 a.m., she reports to
work in a window factory. At
night, she often fills out paper-
work to try to stall her own expul-
sion to Mexico, which a judge or-
dered last year and then agreed
to delay.
Ferreyra came to America ille-
gally 18 years ago with an uncle
after her mother disappeared
and her father died. She pays her
mortgage, has never been
charged with a crime, and is des-
perate to remain with her three
young children, all of whom were
born in America and thus are en-
titled to stay.
It is a lot of pressure, said
Ferreyra, 36. My whole life is
here.
The Obama administration
has deported a record number of
illegal immigrants in the last
three years, and a little-noticed
effect has been the breakup of
thousands of families. One in five
people deported last year - more
than 93,000 in all - were parents
of U.S. citizens, according to U.S.
Immigration and Customs En-
forcement.
The overwhelming majority
had criminal convictions, had re-
entered the country after being
deported, had ignored a judges

CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Lets talk about the
other speech.
Yes, Bill Clinton
delivered a 48-minute
stemwinder to the
Democratic National
Convention on
Wednesday night that was so mesmeriz-
ing even Republicans praised it. But after
the huzzahs for Clinton fade, save a little
nod of affirmation for Sister Simone
Campbell, executive director of NET-
WORK, a Roman Catholic social justice
group. She did not speak long about
seven minutes. Her delivery was not
particularly powerful. But with the moral
authority of her calling, she did some-
thing that has sorely needed doing for
some weeks now.
She rebuked I built that.
Granted, the rebuke was only implicit:
She never specifically mentioned the
new GOP slogan of rugged individual-
ism. But it was no less powerful for that.
As should be obvious to any fair ob-
server, this latest spasm of feigned out-
rage is built upon a lie, i.e., that in a
speech in Roanoke, Va., President Oba-
ma told business owners they did not
build their businesses, that their success
was not a product of their own initiative:
If youve got a business, you didnt build
that.
What Obama actually said in 170
words or so is the same thing Martin
Luther King used to say in four: All life
is interrelated. So if you built a business,
said Obama, part of its success is due to
the fact that there was a great teacher
somewhere in your life or that someone
sacrificed to create this unbelievable
American system that allowed you to
thrive, or to the fact that somebody
invested in roads and bridges over
which your inventory traveled. Contrary
to the GOP narrative, he didnt deny the
importance of initiative. The point, he
said, is that when we succeed, we suc-
ceed because of our individual initiative,
but also because we do things together.
Of course, if its true Obamas com-
ment has been mischaracterized, its also
true that, contrary to what an inartic-
ulate ad lib and the Democratic spin
machine would have you believe, Mitt
Romney doesnt enjoy firing people. No
surprise there. Building mountain ranges
out of sand grains is part and parcel of
politics.
Whats vexing, then, is not that the
GOP lied but that it seems to believe its
own lie. On signs, websites, buttons and
T-shirts from the streets to the Web, to
the convention hall, I built this has
become the partys new war cry.
Enter Sister Campbell. This nun,
whose social activism has put her at
odds with the Vatican, did not talk busi-
ness. She talked about the nuns on the
bus tour she undertook to contest cut-
backs to services for vulnerable Amer-
icans that would be necessary under the
budget envisioned by Romney and his
running mate. And about the people she
met along the way.
Like the 10-year-old twin boys in Tole-
do who act as sole caregivers for their
bedridden mother. Like Billy, from
Milwaukee whose job has cut back his
hours and who could not make it with-
out food stamps. Like Jini in Cincinnati
whose sister Margaret lost her job, lost
her health insurance and so, lost her life
when she was diagnosed with cancer.
I am my sisters keeper, said Camp-
bell. I am my brothers keeper. Can you
remember when that went without say-
ing?
This was Obamas point. In a recent
song, Bruce Springsteen put it like this:
We take care of our own.
And we do. Or at least, we should.
Rugged individualism is great. But in
shredding social safety nets while chant-
ing, I built this, the GOP doesnt cele-
brate individualism so much as deny the
interconnectedness of life, scorn the
notion of a social covenant or greater
good, exile conscience from the public
arena. There but for the grace of God
becomes Every man for himself.
On Wednesday, a nun gently reminded
us of what should be obvious: We are
better than that.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Theres no point trying
to find something
wrong with Michelle
Obamas speech to the
Democratic National
Convention. It was
perfection.
From her stage presence to her deliv-
ery from the punctuating smile to the
strategic repetition of the words you
see it was brilliant. The first lady
ruled the first night of the convention,
and thats saying something given the
lineup of oratorical stars she followed,
notably the Castro twins, Julian and
Joaquin, respectively mayor of San
Antonio and Texas congressional candi-
date.
No matter what ones politics, only
the mingy-minded could fail to be
proud of Americas first lady Tuesday
night. In this spirit, I submit my favorite
lines of the speech, which have received
scant attention. It was perhaps the most
important statement of any thus far
uttered in either convention and has
been sorely lacking from the American
conversation.
Herewith: He was so proud to be
sending his kids to college, and he
made sure we never missed a regis-
tration deadline because his check was
late. You see, for my dad, thats what it
meant to be a man. ... That was the
measure of his success in life being
able to earn a decent living that allowed
him to support his family.
She was talking about her father, of
course, and his struggles to make sure
his children got an education. One
could extrapolate her meaning to in-
clude the problem of unemployment,
which, she asserted, would be solved
under Barack Obamas watch. But the
larger message was not political. It was
that being a man means taking care of
your family. It means showing up and
being there.
It means that children need a father.
To this point, Michelle commented
during a film montage immediately
preceding her speech that her girls
would not be who and what they are
without a man who loves them. Their
father. The photo accompanying this
statement showed President Obama
nuzzling their youngest child.
This profound and simple message
shouldnt need elaboration, but we
seem to have forgotten it. During the
past several decades, women have been
encouraged by a culture dismissive of
traditional family structure to feel free
to go it alone and ignore the contribu-
tions that fathers make in the nurturing
of children.
One neednt diminish the heroic
efforts of single moms, many of whom
are single by necessity or circumstances
beyond their control, to understand that
fathering is just as important as mother-
ing. From their fathers, boys learn to be
men, and girls learn how to manage
them. The Obama girls are indeed
blessed. Theyll know how to relate to
men in healthy ways and how to navi-
gate a sexually aggressive culture in
which some boys wont have had a
decent man to guide them.
Yes, women can teach girls these
things, too, but a fathers love for his
daughter teaches without preaching. A
girl knows what a healthy mans love
looks and feels like. She sees how he
treats her mother. She learns by experi-
encing what should be.
The importance of fatherhood to the
health of children and therefore to the
nation cant be exaggerated. Studies
have shown for decades that social
pathologies afflicting the young tend to
cluster among children without fathers.
We also know from experience and the
testimony of some of Tuesday nights
speakers that single mothers can and do
raise exceptional children. Again, see
the Castro twins.
But these young men are exceptional,
which is why we are so riveted by their
biographies. More often, young males
(and females) without fathers wind up
in trouble. Boys join gangs in search of
male fraternity missing at home. Young
females seek male attention, mistaken
for love, through sexual adventurism.
The Obamas seem to be a model
family, as do, by the way, the Romneys.
I also loved Ann Romneys speech in

order, or otherwise had been
identified under federal guide-
lines as priorities for forced re-
moval, ICE figures show.
But about 10 percent - includ-
ing Ferreyra - did not fit those
categories, and immigration ac-
tivists argue they should be ex-
empt from deportation.
Some advocates further con-
tend that parents who enter the
country illegally to stay with
their children should be granted
greater leniency.
Parents should not be sepa-
rated from their children, said
Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.,
who has proposed a law to pro-
tect parental rights during de-
portationproceedings. Lets de-
port gang members and crimi-
nals instead of the parents of
young U.S. citizen children.
Opponents argue just as force-
fully that immigration laws
should be enforced irrespective
of the effect on families.
Granting waivers to such par-
ents would amount to de facto
amnesty, said Rep. Elton Gal-
legly, R-Calif., whochairs the im-
migration subcommittee of the
House Judiciary Committee.
Were talking about people who
have already exhausted all ap-
peals and the judge dropped the
hammer.
The Obama administration
last year ordered immigration
agencies to focus on deporting
people who pose a threat to pub-
lic safety or are repeat andegre-
gious immigration law viola-
tors, rather than those who are
here without documentation.
Immigrant communities also
have embraced a program that
allows young undocumented
immigrants, who came to Amer-
ica under the age of 16, to apply
for work permits and temporary
protection from deportation.
The deferred deportation pro-
gram provides no protection for
their parents, however.
Immigration authorities tend
to deport fathers more often
than mothers, studies show. But
that often leaves single-parent
families that struggle to pay
bills. One apparent result is an
increaseinabandonedor abused
children.
More than 5,000 American-
born children of deported par-
ents are infoster care aroundthe
country, according to the Ap-
plied Research Center, a New
York City-based liberal think
tank.
It predicts that figure will tri-
ple in the next five years if pol-
icies dont change.
The state is creating fragile
families and low-income, single-
parent households, said Joanna
Dreby, a sociologist at the Uni-
versity at Albany.
Dreby, whospent five years in-
terviewing immigrant families
in northeast Ohio and central
New Jersey, said many children
of illegal immigrants had devel-
oped a fear of police. She said
the children often had behavior
linked to psychological trauma,
such as bed-wetting, uncon-
trolled crying and insomnia.
The issue has drawnsufficient
attention that the Department
of HealthandHumanServices is
preparing to fund a yearlong na-
tional study on how immigra-
tionenforcement affects the wel-
fare of children.

others Wednesday that either
cherry-picked facts or mischarac-
terized the opposition. A look at
some of them:
CLINTON: When times are
tough, constant conflict may be
good politics but in the real
world, cooperation works better.
... Unfortunately, the faction that
now dominates the Republican
Party doesnt see it that way.
They think government is the
enemy and compromise is weak-
ness. One of the main reasons
America should re-elect Presi-
dent Obama is that heis still com-
mitted to cooperation.
THE FACTS: From Clintons
speech, voters would have no
idea that the inflexibility of both
parties is to blame for much of
the gridlock. Right from the be-
ginning Obama brought in as his
first chief of staff RahmEmanuel,
a man known for his getting his
way, not for getting along.
One of the more high-profile
examples of a deal that fell apart
was the outline of a proposed
grand bargain budget agree-
ment betweenObama andHouse
Speaker John Boehner in 2011.
The deal would have required
compromise from both sides. It
slashed domestic spending more
than most Democrats wanted
and would have raised some tax-
es, which most Republicans op-
pose.
Boehner couldnt sell the plan
to tea party factions in the House
or to other conservative activists.
And Obama found himself ac-
cused of going too far by some
Democratic leaders. The deal
died before it ever even came up
for a vote.
Inanother instance, Obama ap-
pointed a bipartisan group,
known as the Simpson-Bowles
Commission, to recommend
ways to fix major fiscal problems
like Social Security and Medi-
care. The commission issued its
recommendations but fell three
votes short of formally endorsing
them. AndObama mostly walked
away fromthe report. He later in-
corporated some of the less con-
tentious proposals from the re-
port into legislation he support-
ed.
But that ensured the tough
compromises would not get
made.
The problem with compromis-
ing in Washington is that there
are few true moderates left in ei-
ther party. The notion that Re-
publicans are the only ones
standing in the way of compro-
mise is inaccurate.
CLINTON: Clinton suggested
that Obamas health care law is
keeping health care costs in
check.
For the last two years, health
care spending has grown under 4
percent, for the first time in 50
years. So, are we all better off be-
cause President Obama fought
for it and passed it? You bet we
are.
THE FACTS: Thats wishful
thinking at best. The nations to-
tal health care tab has been grow-
ing at historically low rates, but
most experts attribute that to
continued uncertainty over the
economy, not to Obamas health
care law.
Two of the main cost-control
measures in Obamas law a
powerful board to keep Medicare
spending manageable and a tax
on high cost health insurance
plans have yet to take effect.
Under the law, Medicare has
launched dozens of experiments
aimed at providing quality care
for lower cost, but most of those
are still in their infancy and mea-
surable results have yet to be ob-
tained. Former administrationof-
ficials say the law deserves at
least part of the credit for easing
health care inflation, but even
they acknowledge that the lack-
luster economyis playinga major
role.
Meanwhile, people insured
through the workplace by and
large have seen little relief from
rising premiums and cost shifts.
According to the nonpartisan
Kaiser Family Foundation, the
average premium for job-based
family coverage rose from
$13,375 in 2009 when Obama
took office to $15,073 in 2011.
Duringthe same period, the aver-
age share paid by employees rose
from $3,515 to $4,129.
While those premium increas-
es cannot be blamed on the
healthcare lawas Republicans
try to do neither can Demo-
crats claim credit for breaking
the back of health care inflation.
CLINTON: Their campaign
pollster said, Were not going to
let our campaign be dictated by
fact checkers. Now that is true. I
couldnt have saidit better myself
I just hope you remember that
every time you see the ad.
THE FACTS: Clinton, who fa-
mously finger-waggeda denial on
national television about his sex-
ual relationship with intern Mon-
ica Lewinsky and was subse-
quently impeached in the House
on a perjury charge, has had his
own uncomfortable moments
over telling the truth. I did not
have sexual relations with that
woman, Miss Lewinsky, Clinton
told television viewers. Later, af-
ter he was forced to testify to a
grand jury, Clinton said his state-
ments were legally accurate
but also allowed that he misled
people, including even my wife.

We havent yet received the
avalanche of claims that might
have been expected.
Sheila Birnbaum
The special master of a Sept. 1 1 victims
compensation fund recently noted that so far only
about 300 people have filed eligibility forms. She ultimately expects
thousands of applications from ground zero responders and others
who became ill after being exposed to dust and ash from the
smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center.
IF SOMEONE were to
poke me out of a sound
sleep and whisper, What
was your time in that
marathon you ran, I
would immediately re-
spond, My gun time was
4:48 but my chip time was 4:44, because
I started from the back, so runners fas-
ter than me (octogenarians, grandmoth-
ers, a guy carrying an enormous Amer-
ican flag) wouldnt run over me as I
shambled along. It was an 11-minute per
mile pace. I ran the first half in 2:23 and
the second half in 2:21. I could have
done a lot better, if I wasnt a chubby
guy with the raw athletic ability of an
overripe eggplant.
I would be able to give this answer
instantaneously even if awakened from a
slumber so deep drool had created a
small lap pool on the pillow and my
snores were registering as earthquakes
on a seismic monitor 45 miles away.
I ran the Kiawah marathon on my 39th
birthday, in 2009. Crossing that finish
line probably wasnt the top athletic
achievement of my life (I was a pretty
fair competitive swimmer in my youth),
but it was the top discipline achieve-
ment of my life. It officially marked the
end of a two-decade period of sedentary
sloth, and it took two years of training,
the last six months of it extremely in-
tensive, to make happen.
I do not believe that Republican vice-
presidential nominee Paul Ryan could
misstate the time he clocked in the 1990
Grandmas Marathon, in Duluth, Minn.,
without it being intentional. Particularly
after I looked at what he actually said.
Ryan recently told a radio host he ran
that marathon, the only one hes ever
run, in under three (hours), high twos.
I had a two hour and fifty-something.
He actually completed it in just over
four hours.
For you non-runners out there, he was
describing an athletic feat that would
be, while not world class, pretty elite.
Were talking more than 26 miles at a
sub-seven minute per mile pace. Few
casual runners can run more than one or
two miles at that clip.
Based on the fact that he stated the
time in three separate ways in the com-
ment, I dont believe he misspoke. And
again, I dont think its possible for a guy
who has run just one marathon to forget
his time, or misstate it by an hour, in
three different ways, by accident.
This might not be a huge personal
failing, but it is quite odd.
Ryans exaggeration is not the equiv-
alent of a golfer saying he shot an 89
when he actually needed 94 strokes to
complete the round. This is the equiv-
alent of a golfer saying he shot a 69
when he needed 94 strokes to complete
the round.
The technical term for such a state-
ment is a whopper.
Whats sad is that running a marathon
in four hours, which Ryan undeniably
did, is a significant accomplishment,
and one worth trumpeting. It takes a ton
of perseverance, discipline and drive,
traits that would serve a vice president
well.
Its an above-average time, and a great
one for a novice. Had we run our singu-
lar marathons together, hed have been
showered, dressed and drinking a Coo-
latta by the time I crossed the line.
Somehow Ryan managed to turn what
should be a badge of honor into an (ad-
mittedly) small mark of shame.
Me, Ill keep taking pride in my 4:44,
no matter how many 77-year-old power
walkers beat me. Its not very fast, I
know. But it is true.
What was Ryan thinking turning triumph to blunder?

COMMENTARY
L A N E F I L L E R
Ryans exaggeration is not the
equivalent of a golfer saying he shot an 89
when he actually needed 94 strokes to
complete the round. This is the equivalent
of a golfer saying he shot a 69 when he
needed 94 strokes to complete the round.
The technical term for such a statement is
a whopper.
THE LOUD sucking
sound heard from Neva-
da to New Hampshire is
the 2012 presidential
campaign consuming the
electoral oxygen, if not
every available 30-sec-
ond commercial TV time slot, in the
nine remaining swing states.
The unprecedented amount of presi-
dential campaign money set to explode
upon the airways in the 58 days to Nov.
6 will blanket the states yet to tilt to-
ward President Obama or former Gov.
Mitt Romney.
Those states remaining In the Arena
2-3-4 Toss-up Category three weeks
before the first presidential debate are
two western states Colorado and Ne-
vada; Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin in the
Midwest, and the four eastern states of
New Hampshire, Virginia, North Car-
olina and Florida.
If Christian Doppler could have de-
vised a radar map to detect precipita-
tion of presidential campaign funds
spent, it would show those nine states
covered in ominous shades of green
being subjected to a downpour of 30-
second TV ads.
As the race for president dominates
TV, newspaper and radio, candidates for
lesser-known statewide offices often get
overlooked.
The Romney and Obama campaigns
are purchasing some ads in the media
markets of Pennsylvania but nothing
compared to the wall-to-wall media
carpet-bombing over Ohio and the cam-
paign armies of northern Virginia.
Obamas lead in Pennsylvania remains
sturdy and exceeds the margin of error.
If this trend continues after the debates
(Oct. 3, 11, 16 and 22), Team Romney
could take its big money elsewhere,
freeing up the airwaves, column inches
and the political oxygen that in-state
candidates desperately need for their
messages to be heard.
Of particular importance in Penn-
sylvania are races for auditor general,
state treasurer and attorney general.
Republicans and Democrats have nomi-
nated qualified candidates for each of
these important offices and they de-
serve our careful evaluation.
After all, the state attorney general is
the commonwealths chief law enforce-
ment officer, the auditor general our
fiscal watchdog, while the state treasur-
er collects, protects and invests Penn-
sylvanias financial assets.
In the April primary, Republicans
nominated Washington County Com-
missioner Diana Irey Vaughan, 50, for
state treasurer. Irey Vaughan is serving
her fifth term on the board of commis-
sioners.
She will face incumbent Democratic
state Treasurer Rob McCord. McCord,
53, was elected treasurer in 2008. A
1982 graduated of Harvard University
with a degree in history and economics,
McCord received his masters degree in
1989 from the Wharton School of Busi-
ness.
In the race for attorney general, Dem-
ocrats chose Scranton native and former
Lackawanna County Assistant District
Attorney Kathleen Kane. A graduate of
the University of Scranton and Temple
University School of Law, Kane, 45, has
13 years experience and has prosecuted
thousands of cases.
The GOP nominated Cumberland
County District Attorney David Freed.
Freed, 42, of Camp Hill, is a 1992 gradu-
ate of Washington & Lee University and
the Penn State Dickinson School of
Law. He has worked in the DAs office
since 1998, as an assistant DA and first
assistant before being elected district
attorney in 2005 and 2009.
John Maher of Upper St. Clair in Al-
legheny County is an eight-term mem-
ber of the state House of Representa-
tives and the Republican candidate for
auditor general. Maher, 53, is also a
certified public accountant and a magna
cum laude graduate of Duke University,
earning a degree in management sci-
ences/accounting. He also studied at
Oxford University.
Fellow House member and three-term
Democrat Eugene DePasquale, 41, of
York County will oppose Maher in the
fall. DePasquale is a graduate of the
College of Wooster. He earned his mas-
ters degree in public administration
from the University of Pittsburgh and a
law degree from the Widener School of
Law.
The parties have selected several
talented candidates for three extremely
important positions. Amid all the noise,
let them not be overlooked.

S SPEECHES GO,
none delivered by the
candidates and main
speakers during the
most recent conventions of the
Republican and Democratic
parties rose to the level of, say,
the Gettysburg Address. A cou-
ple would barely pass muster at
a Toastmasters International
club.
Lets assess the elocutionists.
Chris Christie. The hard-
charging New Jersey governor
must have missed the memo;
he talked at length about him-
self, the Garden State and GOP
generalities, but saidlittleabout
the Republican nominee. His
script also contained references
to the sacrifices in store for
Americans under a Romney/
Ryan administration; however,
by the next night of the conven-
tion there was no mention of
shared pain. Only future pros-
perity.
Ann Romney. Ann loves
Mitt. They love women. We all
love our veterans. Joanie loves
Chachi. Howdid this disjointed
script sneak past the GOP cam-
paign speechwriters? Anns role
inTampa, Fla., wastohumanize
her husband, former Massachu-
settsGov. Mitt Romney. Instead
of hearing warm or humorous
anecdotes about Mitt, listeners
were told only that the presi-
dential hopeful is kind and
sometimes funny. Not exactly
Hallmark material.
Clint Eastwood. The actor
drew fire from some critics be-
cause of what they termed a
rambling soliloquy. We, by
contrast, followed what he was
trying to say, but didnt under-
stand why he had been invited
there to say it. Perhaps rather
than an empty chair, Clint
should have addressed an emp-
ty room like grumpy old men
everywhere.
Paul Ryan and Mitt Rom-
ney. The Republican vice presi-
dential and presidential nomi-
nees each delivered solid, effec-
tive speeches, convincing in
their points and inspiring to
their followers. As for being ac-
curate, well, Ryan in particular
played a bit loose with what
non-politicians refer to as
facts.
And now the Democrats.
Michelle Obama. The presi-
dents wife probably gave the
finest speech of either conven-
tion, usingthepersonal tomake
a case for her broader political
objective: Keep her husband in
theWhiteHouse. Herstammer-
ing, however, seemed con-
trived, as if to convey false emo-
tion. (If the stutter is authentic,
our apologies for mentioning
it.)
Bill Clinton. Theformer pres-
ident, silver-haired and silver-
tongued, did not disappoint.
Absent a thumb gesture or two
from his glory days, he seemed
almost to still feel our pain.
Joe Biden. No big blunders.
Yet the vice president didnt say
much to help the cause. For a
guyonly30stepsfromthepresi-
dents office, he shared few in-
sights about the man, only so-
lidified that they are indeed
pals. Good pals.
Barack Obama. The presi-
dent offered in good but not
grand style what the partisan
crowd wanted to hear. Notice-
ablyabsent, however, was aspe-
cific planfor thenext four years.
Obama should have provided
his blueprint for, finally, dealing
withthenational debt anddeliv-
ering on jobs growth.
Of course, of more impor-
tance than the candidates one-
liners, presentation styles and
words are their ideas. Base your
vote in November on what real-
ly matters.
Everything else is just hot air.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
P
RESIDENT Barack
Obama had a tough
act tofollowonThurs-
day night in accepting
the Democratic presidential
nomination himself, four
years ago. At that point, he and
the nation were in a swoon of
possibility, justifiably proud of
breaking the race barrier to the
White House and lifted by his
words of bipartisanship and a
new way of governing.
At his inauguration, he
warnedthat theroadbackfrom
the economic abyss would be
steep and hard.
How right he was. The re-
covery has been slow and ran-
corous. Thursday night, Oba-
ma owned up to the shortcom-
ings, disappointments and
challenges remaining.
What he did right, and in
welcome detail, was delineate
clear differences with his GOP
opponent, Mitt Romney. He
spoke out against intolerance,
tax breaks for millionaires and
vouchers for Medicare, and he
defended government.
We dont think government
can solve all of our problems.
But we dont think that govern-
ment is the source of all of our
problems
What he didnt offer was a
surprise. He stuck with his
State of the Union-like wish
list.
Bring on the debates.

THE BES T RO O FING ,
GOP plan a threat
to generations
T
he fact that many people
dont consider Social Secu-
rity and Medicare as entit-
lements, but rather as life-and-
death issues, speaks volumes
for what the American people
see as necessities of life.
It drives me nuts that work-
ing people actually defend the
move by conservative Repub-
licans to destroy these pro-
grams as we know them. They
actually have taken on an
effort to change the meaning
of the word entitlement. To
me, entitlement means that I
earned and deserve something
and Im entitled to it. The
Republican conservatives have
changed that definition to
mean welfare for some other
form of handout that we dont
deserve or didnt work for.
Entitlement means we
earned it, and dont let the
representatives of the 1 per-
cent tell you anything differ-
ent.
The Republican public rela-
tions spin on the Paul Ryan
budget backed by presidential
nominee Mitt Romney is de-
signed to lull our countrys
seniors into accepting the plan
because its selling point is
that it does not affect anyone
over age 55. That isnt a sell-
ing point; it is a prediction of
lifestyle destruction for our
children and grandchildren.
Economists are telling us
that our children and grand-
children will not live as well as
we do, and, personally, I know
people who could not survive
without both programs. I want
those people who come after
us to live decent lives.
I dont understand why
these go-along, working-class
conservative wannabes dont
scream about the cost of war
or the cost of sending money
to other countries in the form
of foreign aid or the no-bid
military contracts, but they
want to take from us and give
to others. What are they think-
ing?
As one of the wealthiest
countries in the world, why
cant we put us first and others
second? Why should we suffer
any loss in life-sustaining
programs?
Wake up, people, wake up
before its too late.
I heard Ryan in a video
saying he thinks Americans
should have the same benefits
and pay for the same benefits
that Congress has. OK, Mr.
Ryan, but how about if you
take a pay cut to that of the
average American? Why are
Congress members entitled to
such large salaries?
He has been on the tax-
payers ride for so long that he
actually thinks thats how
Americans live.
Wake up, people! Theyre
coming for us.

Extend tax credit
to wind energy
T
he Wind Production Tax
Credit is crucial to wind
energy development in the
United States. Unfortunately,
it will expire at the end of this
year unless Congress extends
it.
The measure, in effect since
1992, provides an income tax
credit of 2.2 cents per kilowatt
hour for the production of
electricity from utility-scale
wind turbines. Extending the
tax credit will create jobs,
support local communities,
protect the environment and
improve energy price stability.
The American Wind Energy
Association estimates the
wind industry supported
75,000 jobs nationwide in
2011. Unfortunately, 37,000 of
these jobs could be lost if the
tax credit is not extended.
Gamesa, a major wind tur-
bine manufacturer, employs
more than 800 people in Penn-
sylvania. It recently an-
nounced plans to lay off 165
Pennsylvania workers due to
the uncertainty of the tax
credit extension.
Wind farms help local econ-
omies by making lease pay-
ments to property owners and
paying property taxes to
school districts and municipal-
ities.
Wind energy is better for
the environment than coal,
natural gas or nuclear energy.
Wind turbines operate pollu-
tion-free, do not contribute to
climate change and use very
little water.
Wind power increases ener-
gy price stability. Because
wind-generated energy has no
fuel cost, its price is very
predictable over time.
Although the cost of wind
energy has dropped substan-
tially in the last decade, its
not quite competitive with
other energy sources. Thats
why Congress should act now
to extend the Production Tax
Credit for four years.

Time needed to
fix so many woes
W
e have become a society
that relies on instant
gratification. Whatever it
is, we want it now and there is
someone who can get it to us:
instant access, instant cash,
instant messages.
It wasnt so long ago we
learned that good things take
time. Good relationships take
time. If you want something
good, you have to work for it.
Good businesses take time to
grow. Reviving a decimated
economy takes time. Solutions
to problems take time. Good
government takes time, but
bad government can happen
faster than you can say Enron,
or Halliburton or JP Morgan.
Problems dont happen
overnight, and neither do
solutions. George W. Bush
was president of the United
States for eight years. People
say that you cant keep blam-
ing Bush for todays problems.
Thats like saying you cant
keep blaming smoking for
health problems. It is what it
is.
Beginning his first term
with a surplus, he quickly
moved to initiate two wars,
one enormous unfunded phar-
maceutical program and, of
course, the infamous Bush
tax cuts.
Fast forward to January
2009: Imagine that you are
President Barack Obama (or
anyone, for that matter) tak-
ing office. It would be like
taking over a company and
finding out that your prede-
cessor had charged all of the
company bills over the past
eight years and didnt make
the payments! Monetary cri-
sis. Mortgage crisis. Auto
industry on the brink of ex-
tinction. A multitrillion-dollar
deficit. It sounds like a sci-
ence-fiction movie.
Add to this the pronounce-
ment by the Senate minority
leader that his top priority is
to get you fired.
Barack Obama has begun
the task of rebuilding the
economy. To derail those
efforts, and the gains that have
been made, would be to throw
our country back to the reces-
sion that we are about to leave
behind.
The good news is that we
are on a path to right the
wrongs of our recent past and
to create new industries and
job opportunities. The bad
news is it is going to take time
to correct.

V I E W S
GIVEN THE
state of the
economy, by
any historical
standard,
Barack Oba-
ma should be
15 points
behind Mitt Romney. Why is
he tied? The empathy gap. On
caring about average people,
Obama wins by 22 points.
Maintaining that gap was a
principal goal of the Democrat-
ic convention. Its the partys
only hope of winning in No-
vember.
George H.W. Bush, Romney-
like in aloofness, was once
famously handed a staff cue
card that read: Message: I
care. That was supposed to be
speech guidance. Bush read
the card. Out loud.
Not surprisingly, he lost to
Bill Clinton, a man who lives
to care, who feels your pain
better than you do or at least
makes you think so. In politics,
thats a trivial distinction.
On Wednesday night, Clin-
ton vouched for Obama as a
man whos cool on the outside
but who burns for America on
the inside. Nice phrase, but
not terribly persuasive. The
real job of Clintonizing Obama
was left to Mrs. Obama. As she
told it in the conventions most
brilliantly cynical speech, her
husband is not only profoundly
compassionate but near-Gand-
hiesque in feelings.
Others spoke about what
Obama had done. Michelles
job was to provide the why:
because he cares. Her talk was
a syllogism: Barack loves his
wife, he loves his children, he
loves his family therefore, he
loves you.
I have no doubt about the
first three propositions, but the
fourth is a complete non sequi-
tur. We were assured, nonethe-
less, that the president is a
saintly man, dispensing succor
health care (with free contra-
ceptives), auto bailouts, fair-
ness lawsuits to his people.
The flood of tears in the hall
testified to the power of this
spousal paean. Its brilliance lay
in Michelles success in drain-
ing from Obama any hint of
ideological or personal motiva-
tion.
The problem with swallow-
ing the he cares, therefore he
does line is that it so plainly
contradicts what weve seen
over the last four years. Barack
Obama is a deeply committed
social-democrat who laid out
an unashamedly left-liberal
agenda at the very beginning
of his presidency and then
proceeded to try to enact it.
Obama passed Obamacare,
regulated Wall Street, sub-
sidized Solyndra because that
fits an ambitious left-wing
agenda developed in his youth,
now made possible by his
power: redistributionist, gov-
ernment-centered, disdainful
of success, suspicious of pri-
vate enterprise, committed to
his own vision of social justice.
Also missing from her
speech was any hint of his
outsized self-regard and per-
sonal ambition. Is he pursuing
re-election because he cares?
Or because its the ultimate
vindication of the self-created
man who came from nowhere
to seize the prize? And whom
defeat would turn into a histor-
ical parenthesis?
In 2008, Obama tellingly
said that Ronald Reagan was
historically consequential in a
way that Bill Clinton was not.
Obama clearly sees himself as
the anti-Reagan, the man who
reverses the 30-year conserva-
tive trajectory that Reagan
launched (hence his conse-
quentiality), and returns Amer-
ica to the 50-year liberal as-
cendancy that FDR began and
Reagan terminated.
This makes you world-his-
torical. This is what drives the
man who kept inserting the
phrase New Foundation in
the major speeches he gave in
the early months of his presi-
dency. The slogan was meant
to make him the rightful heir
to the authors of the New
Deal and New Frontier.
The phrase never took. But
the ambition was unmistak-
able.
His pledge in 2008 of funda-
mentally transforming the
United States of America
speaks to the largeness of both
his ideology and his self-re-
gard. Thats the far more plau-
sible explanation of his drive
to win, characterized by a
ruthless single-mindedness
that undid the Clintons in
2008 (and at times unhinged
Bill) and that has so relent-
lessly demonized Romney in
2012.
The millions of dollars de-
voted to that demonization
account for some of that 22-
point empathy gap. Mi-
chelles soap-opera depiction of
her husband as a man so in-
fused with goodness that it
spills over onto his grateful
subjects was meant to main-
tain the other part of that gap.
I didnt buy a word of it, but
as a speech, Michelles was
very effective. After all, what
else do you say when youre
running for re-election in a
land as described so chill-
ingly the next night by El-
izabeth Warren wracked with
misery and despair?
Obamas empathy gap
trumps chilling reality

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Don Carey and
words by Mark E. Jones
EVERY FOUR
years Amer-
icans are pre-
sented with
different vi-
sions of the
future and are
asked to
choose between them. This
year, weve been told, the
choice is between two concep-
tions of government: small
versus big. The Republican
presidential ticket of Mitt
Romney and Paul Ryan has
promised to restore America
to its small government past.
Any vision of the future is
built upon a certain under-
standing of the past. Although
past and future are inextric-
ably linked, we spend much
less time evaluating candi-
dates as historians than we do
assessing their skills as fortu-
netellers able to predict the
future.
As historians, Romney, Ryan
and the rest of the GOP insist
that the federal government is
the mortal enemy of the pri-
vate sector, and that govern-
ment only functions to im-
pinge on the freedoms of the
people. Individual initiative
made the desert bloom, said
Barry Goldwater, godfather of
the New Right of the 1960s.
It might be a rousing narra-
tive of the past, but it isnt
really true. From the very be-
ginning of this nation, the
federal government has
worked in partnership with
business and with other sec-
tors of society to make this a
better, more prosperous coun-
try.
Take, for starters, the com-
munication and transportation
networks without which our
economic growth would not
have happened. The federal
government saw the need for
those innovations as early as
1792 when Congress passed
the Postal Act, which enabled
postal routes to expand into
the hinterlands, allowed news-
papers to travel through the
mail and established privacy in
the mail as a civic ideal. In
other words, it made the First
Amendment work and created
a mechanism for information
to flow across the nation.
In 1862, Congress chartered
the Union Pacific Railroad to
connect both coasts, making
the transport of people and
goods across the continent
faster and more efficient.
Across the rest of the 19th
century, the federal govern-
ment promoted railroad con-
struction by giving away land
in the West to railroad corpora-
tions, which financed their
tracks by selling off some of
the land. Without those feder-
ally subsidized railroads, the
West would never have devel-
oped economically as it did.
Also in 1862, Congress
passed the Morrill Land Grant
Act, certainly among the great-
est federal-state collaborations
in our history. By providing
the states with land that in
turn could be used as a reve-
nue source, the federal govern-
ment enabled states to estab-
lish the great public universi-
ties.
In turn, those universities
have provided democratic
access to education that would
have been impossible other-
wise, especially after the GI
Bill made federal money avail-
able for even more young peo-
ple to attend. For 150 years,
the graduates of those govern-
ment-subsidized universities
from farmers and engineers to
doctors and lawyers and more
have contributed immeasur-
ably to our society.
And so it has gone across a
wide spectrum of American
life. Homeownership is a cen-
terpiece of the American
dream only because the feder-
al government has facilitated
homeownership for millions
since the 1930s through vari-
ous programs. If you arent
worried about getting malaria
when you visit the American
South, thats because federal
public health initiatives effec-
tively eradicated the disease
from that region in the first
half of the 20th century. It
would be hard to imagine the
Sun Belt boom if people
there were still swatting malar-
ial mosquitoes.
As for Goldwaters desert, he
forgot to mention that without
the Newlands Restoration Act
of 1902, which provided money
for massive irrigation projects
across the West, little would
have bloomed there.
This is the history that the
current GOP has ignored,
denied or perhaps never
learned in the first place. But
their historical misunderstand-
ing runs even deeper. The
point is not that the govern-
ment undertook these initia-
tives. We did.
We are, as the first Repub-
lican president put it in 1863, a
government of the people, by
the people, for the people.
The policies and programs
pursued by the federal govern-
ment are nothing more than
the actions taken by our elect-
ed representatives to carry out
our common objectives and
express our shared ideals. Ever
since the Postal Act of 1792.
To honor and restore our
American tradition means
recognizing that the federal
government always has com-
plemented the private sector
to move this country forward.
GOP has skewed view of governments history
COMMENTARY
S T E V E N C O N N
Steven Conn, a professor of history
and director of the public history
initiative at Ohio State University, is
the author of the forthcoming book
To Promote the General Welfare:
The Case for Big Government. He
wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.
THE GREAT American pastime of
baseball builds and reveals character,
while also conveying many valuable
life lessons and values, such as persev-
erance, sacrifice and teambuilding.
With that in mind, what sort of les-
sons can we learn from the 1962 and
2012 editions of the New York Metro-
politans?
The New York Mets began life in
1962 as an expansion team in the Na-
tional League. In that first season, it
achieved the dubious distinction of
compiling the worst record since the
season expanded to a 162-game sched-
ule by compiling a 40-120 won-lost
record (two postponed games were
never made up). The teams record for
futility is indeed unbelievable, but as
Casey Stengel often said, You can
look it up.
The 1962 Mets roster was made up
of castoffs from the other teams. One
of those players, first baseman Mar-
velous Marv Throneberry, was known
for his wit and quotable statements.
During the inaugural season, Marvel-
ous Marv said something on the order
of the Mets keep finding new ways
to lose ballgames.
Who knew that Marvelous Marvs
words would turn out to be not only a
contemporary comment, but a proph-
etic one as well. It was prophetic in
the sense that the 2012 version of the
Mets might find itself losing games
thanks to Bernard Lawrence Bernie
Madoff.
Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz co-
founded Sterling Equities in 1972 as a
real estate investment/development
company. They expanded into the
entertainment industry when they
purchased a 1 percent stake in the
New York Mets in 1980, added 48
percent ownership in 1986 and became
sole owners in 2002.
While Katz and Wilpon built their
investment in the Mets, they also
invested heavily with Madoff. Not
only did they invest with Madoff, they
used Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities LLC, as a depository for
disability insurance and as a means of
funding deferred compensation for
Mets players. Katz and Wilpon were
thus able to earn a profit from interest,
dividends and capital gains on money
owned by essentially owed to oth-
ers. If this sounds like the old using
other peoples money ruse, it is.
After the arrest and conviction of
Madoff, the Securities Investors Pro-
tection Corp. appointed Irving H.
Picard of the law firm of Baker &
Hostetler LLP as its trustee to recover
assets from Madoff, his associates and
early investors in order to compensate
the victims of Madoffs fraud scheme.
Since Katz and Wilpon invested early,
often and in large amounts with Ma-
doff, they were among the few who
actually saw a return on and return of
their funds.
While the Mets are playing well this
season, one has to wonder how much
better its record might have been
without the distractions of this scan-
dal and the impact of a forced $50
million cut in team payroll that forced
the team to cut ties with All-Star
shortstop Jos Reyes. The trustee
originally sought recovery of up to $1
billion from Katz, Wilpon and Sterling
Equities. The Mets owners reached a
settlement agreement in the spring in
which they agreed to pay back $162
million in 2016.
This isnt the first time Major
League Baseball has found itself en-
tangled in a financial scandal. There
was the infamous Black Sox scandal
in 1919 and then there was the Los
Angeles Dodgers payroll embezzle-
ment scheme in 1985 involving Ed-
ward Campos.
Could these transgressions have
been avoided or at least minimized by
additional built-in safeguards or earli-
er detection?
By applying the discipline of foren-
sic accounting an emerging specialty
within the accounting field these
episodes and others that emerged with
the global recession in 2008 could
have been mitigated or entirely pre-
vented.
Modern corporate fraud is sophisti-
cated and increasing rapidly. In its
2012 annual survey, the Association of
Certified Fraud Examiners estimated
that occupational fraud costs busi-
nesses 5 percent of their revenues. By
applying that estimate to the 2011
Gross World Product, we can project a
more than $3.5 trillion loss due to
global fraud.
Forensic accounting is more than
just number crunching. It involves
specialized investigative training. In
addition to working toward preventing
and uncovering fraud, forensic ac-
countants also might be engaged in
shareholder/partnership disputes,
insurance claims, divorce and bank-
ruptcy.
In response to this growing prob-
lem, American colleges and universi-
ties, including Misericordia University
in Dallas Township, are offering cours-
es in forensic accounting. In doing so,
these institutions are better preparing
students for the challenges they might
encounter throughout their careers.
Todays forensic auditors catch those who play the game improperly

Many reasons to
vote out Obama
I
ts going to be a sad day for
America if there are not
enough commonsense vot-
ers out there to remove Presi-
dent Obama from office. Here
are some reasons why I am
not going to vote for him.
Before he was elected, he
said the main reason for the
economic collapse was the
reckless lending practices of
the big banks. All he has done
since then is blame former
President Bush. He actually
said Iran is a small country
and not a threat. He said to a
Russian president that he
would have more flexibility
over missile defense after the
next election. He said there is
no easy oil to get to in shallow
water or on land, and he
blocked construction of a
pipeline from Canada to Tex-
as. He sues states over im-
migration and voter ID laws.
He said he would cut the
deficit in half before the end of
his first term. He hasnt even
passed a budget yet. He uses
executive power to grant am-
nesty to immigrants.
National security leaks had
to come from his adminis-
tration and he acts like he
doesnt even care. He told the
people at NASA they would be
taken care of. Today they are
out of a job and we cant even
send a man to the space sta-
tion. He said Israel should go
back to its original borders,
exposing itself to enemy at-
tack.
He often says we dont want
to go back to what got us into
this mess. On that point, hes
right. What we need to do is
go back to what it was like 50
years ago when free people
made this country great.
Ive given a dozen reasons
why Im not going to vote for
Obama. I easily can give a
dozen more, all based on facts.
I would like to see a letter
from an Obama supporter
giving a dozen reasons why
they are voting for him, and
do it without repeating rheto-
ric from a one-sided media.
Base it all on what he actually
has said and has done for our
country. Maybe Im missing
something, and someone
might be able to change my
mind.

Frustrated buyer
happy with switch
W
e have been loyal sub-
scribers of the Citizens
Voice since its inception
decades ago. That changed on
Aug. 24. This letter will ex-
plain why.
Over the last few years
there have been numerous
occasions when our newspa-
per was not delivered. We
would call each time and most
times eventually would re-
ceive a paper. We recently put
a vacation stop on our paper.
It was delivered for the first
three days of our vacation and
then not delivered for a day or
two once we returned.
Several weeks ago there was
no paper again. I called to
report the lack of a paper and
was told one would be deliver-
ed. When none came, I called
again. In the course of this
conversation I was told that
the previous representative
had indicated that my earlier
call was about the Deal of the
Day, not a missed paper. That
was the last straw.
Why, after all these at-
tempts to get a paper every
day, would I waste more time?
They had ample time to cor-
rect the problem. They might
advertise themselves as the
best newspaper in the Valley.
It is hard for me to judge,
because I dont always get the
so-called wonderful paper.
Since Aug. 24, we have been
subscribers of The Times
Leader. What surprised us was
our satisfaction with not only
the delivery service but, more
important, the content. Im
left with one last question:
Why didnt we do this sooner?

Reader puts bite
on China products
T
he recent letters to the
editor expressing concern
over dentists placing Chi-
nese-made dental work into
patients mouths prompted
me to do a little research.
Apparently this is no minor
issue.
It is estimated that more
than 5 million dental crowns
per year are manufactured in
China and placed into the
mouths of U.S. patients. Heres
the best part: The U.S. Food
and Drug Administration
requires that the dentist be
informed as to where the
crown was made, but he or
she is not required to inform
the patient.
Given the dangerous com-
position of other Chinese
products, I view this practice
as nothing short of criminal. I
had this type of dental work
done recently and, armed with
what I know, I pushed my
dentist for information before
giving him the go-ahead.
Im trying to find out which
regional dentists deal with
Chinese laboratories so that I
can put together a list to
which patients can refer. Im
not sure how to get this in-
formation. If anyone has some
thoughts on how to accom-
plish this, please respond to
this letter.

Only a dozen movies have
grossed more than $1 billion at
the box office, and the Wyoming
Valley-connected Jon Landau
produced a pair of them. And not
just any pair, mind. He oversaw
the $2.7 billion-grossing Avatar
(2009) and the $2.1 billion-gross-
ingTitanic (1997) the twomost
successful films
of all time.
This season,
both blockbus-
ters are receiv-
ing home-view-
ing upgrades.
Avatar, which
is already avail-
able on DVD
and Blu-ray, will make its debut
as a 3-D Blu-ray on Oct. 16, while
Titanic, rereleased in theaters
this spring in 3-D, will make its
2-D and 3-D Blu-ray bow tomor-
row.
The releases are likely to make
cash registers jingle, but Landau
insists that he and his partner
James Cameron (who directed
both movies) are just as interest-
ed in making sure home viewers
can finally see the epics the way
they were meant to be seen, with
as much detail and clarity as pos-
sible.
When you go to a movie and
youre sitting in a theater 30 feet
away from the screen, you have
an immersive experience, Lan-
dau says. But when youre at
home, youre sitting that much
closer to the screen, and, in the
case of the 3-D Titanic and Ava-
tar, the experience is likely to be
just as immersive as when you
were in the theater.
It started so long ago
If Titanic and Avatar share
anything, its their ability to
transport viewers toother dimen-
sions. Landau, 51, dates his love
of imaginative movies to seeing
Mary Poppins in Wilkes-Barre
when he was about 4 years old.
My grandmother took me to
see Mary Poppins, he recalls.
Its a fantasy film, andI lovedit. I
remember feelinglikeI was being
transported to another world.
Growing up, the Manhattan-
born powerhouse spent a good
deal of time in Wilkes-Barre,
where his mother, Edie, was born
and raised and where his grand-
parents and many family mem-
bers lived for years.
I remember beingtakentothe
Armory to see the circus, he
says. In New York, the circus
seemed so far away. But in
Wilkes-Barre, because it was a
smaller arena, I felt like I was a
part of the action.

When you read a press release
that says a guy named Genghis Co-
hen has developed a Louis Vuitton-
handledhandgunat a luxury Las Ve-
gas shooting range, you look for the
punchline, right?
I did.
If the oddconnotationof a heavily
armed guy named Genghis Cohen
(yep, his real name) doesnt inspire
the saywhaaaat? face, thenthe de-
signer-label handgun certainly
does.
It sounds ludicrous, and yet its
true.
Cohen told the New York Times:
We have a real demand to cater to
gun enthusiasts who also have a de-
sire to look stylish, hence our foray
into Louis Vuittongunaccessories.
The company also has Louis Vuit-
ton gun holsters and gun bags, but
other reports suggest Louis Vuitton
is not happy with the association.
Calls seeking information at the
gun range were not returned.
But theres no denying theres a
luxe but rugged pioneering spirit
experiment going on. It is inherent-
ly contradictory, and yet no one
seems ashamed.
The trend is more prominent
among glampers (i.e. glam camp-
ers). It started in jest, I think, with
some high-end designers using
camping attire to inspire their run-
way collections. Hiking shoes were
rendered as stilettos, sweatshirts in
cashmere and lumberjack vests
were lined in plush fur with slim
waists.
All things utilitarian were re-
vamped with opulent details. It was
with a wink and a smile that Isaac
Mizrahi incorporated camping into
his showing of ball gowns for fall
2010: Think Geoffrey L.L. Bean,
said his shownotes. Or even Buffa-
lo Bill Blass. The show was full of
quirky, youthful twists on glamour.

I
can feel it in the air. The
cool breezes of fresh, fall
programming are wafting
our way, ready to push away
the oppressive and stifling reruns
and reality programs of summer.
OK, the new programs are not
all fresh. Theres the usual stale
collection of doctors, lawyers,
cops and Matthew Perry. But
many of these series at least at-
tempt to add interesting twists.
There are a handful of new gay
characters in prime time, a few
slumming big-screen stars (and
stars daughters) and the ongoing
quest to find the new Lost.
Like last year, the more inven-
tive shows will turn up mid-sea-
son. Ill be back to tell you about
those in January. In the mean-
time, heres the skinny on your
new favorite programs.
Sundays
666 Park Avenue, ABC (Sept. 30, 10 p.m.): When
your landlord is Satan, Ill bet you have to keep bugging
and bugging him about the air conditioning. Losts
Terry OQuinn plays the deal-making owner of a posh
New York City building. The deals he makes, though,
are of the Twilight Zone variety and come with hor-
rible and ironic consequences.
Mondays
The Mob Doctor, Fox (Sept. 17, 9 p.m.): My Boys
star Jordana Spiro gets to flex her chops as a gifted but
morally conflicted surgeon who protects her family by
stitching up mafia thugs. The premise and performanc-
es are good, but the script could use a scalpel.

CA 90069
9/9
DEAR ABBY
Urge to parent adult
children can cause rifts
Dear Abby:
Why must
we walk on
eggshells
around our
adult chil-
dren? I have
many friends with the same
problem. Only one of them is
able to open up and tell her
kids how she feels.
You advised if a daughter
goes out with a bum, learn
to find something good
about the bum. Id like to
tell that daughter the guy IS
a bum, or her kids and her
house are a mess. But even
if I criticize politely, and say
very carefully how I feel, our
adult children withhold their
children or themselves and
there goes the relationship.
Is there hope to change this
situation? My friends and I
would like to know!
Walking On Eggshells
Dear Walking: As a parent,
your instinct will always be
to parent your children.
But after children become
adults, the kind of advice
you would like to deliver
becomes less welcomed. Im
not sure what it is they are
doing (or not doing) that
you would like to criticize,
but if it has something to do
with their children, remem-
ber that parenting styles
have changed with time.
Its regrettable, but many
families are no longer close
in the way that families were
a few decades ago, when the
generations needed each oth-
er for baby-sitting and other
kinds of help. But once the
dynamics have been set, the
pattern is difficult to change
unless all parties are open
to it and even then it can
take professional help.
Dear Abby: Our son, an hon-
ors student, was accepted
to a prestigious Ivy League
school. However, the amount
of tuition was so exorbitant
that the burden on our fam-
ily would have been finan-
cially devastating. Since the
day I made the call to turn
down the universitys offer,
my wife, Jenna, has refused
to touch me or respond to
me in any way. She talks to
me rarely and has refused
to make love for more than
three years.
I have gone to marriage
counseling (she refused to
go), sought help from my
clergy and repeatedly tried
to get my wife to have a
relationship. Although I
am not a perfect husband, I
have tried to make our mar-
riage work. Jenna continues
to treat me with contempt
and refuses to refer to me in
front of our three children by
any name except he.
Do you see any hope for
me continuing this relation-
ship? I hate to end this mar-
riage before all of our kids
leave home.
Sad in Syracuse
Dear Sad: Did you discuss
the phone call with your wife
before you made it, so you
could explore other possible
options together or did you
call without consulting her?
If its the latter, she had a
right to be angry. However,
to punish ones spouse for
three years seems grossly
excessive. And because she
wont accept counseling you
will have to decide whether
to accept the status quo,
because you appear to have
been physically and emotion-
ally abandoned.
Dear Abby: A friend from
work has a boyfriend who
constantly cheats and lies to
her. She cries to me about
it, and I cant help but get
annoyed because it happens
over and over. A week later,
she forgives him.
She wants me and my boy-
friend to go out on a double
date. How can I avoid it
without hurting her feelings?
Should I tell her the truth,
that I want nothing to do
with that dirtbag, or say Im
too busy?
Shoulder to Cry On in
Florida
Dear Shoulder: Dont call
her boyfriend a dirtbag or
any other names, although
they are probably accurate.
Just thank her for thinking
of it but tell her that as much
as you like her, knowing
how he has treated her, you
wouldnt be able to look him
in the eye.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You have many wonderful
friends you do not see reg-
ularly for the simple rea-
son that your schedules do
not easily mesh. Happily,
thats about to change.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
The childs mind watches
a daring feat and believes
without a doubt, I can do
that. The adults mind rec-
ognizes a paradox: It takes
a lot of effort to appear
effortless.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Your attitude is upbeat
and confident. You show
that you care as much or
more about others as you
do about forwarding your
own interests. Socially, you
can do no wrong.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Something comes
up, and there will be a
slightly urgent reason to
get immediate answers.
Pursuing the subject
will connect you with
interesting new friends.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When
youre learning something
new, its totally normal to
get worse at it before you
get better. But if the trend
continues, put some space
between you and the proj-
ect. Perspective is needed.
A Libra can help.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Youll gain fans. The tan-
gible results of your work
are not the only reason
people will follow you.
People will become
fascinated by anything
you give, including your
support.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Its
amazing to you that some
people quit just when they
should be trying harder
because the goal is close
at hand. When something
is not working, you change
your strategy and give it
another go.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Stay confident, even if you
see the competition and it
scares you. Dont disqual-
ify yourself in your own
mind before the game has
begun. You have an edge,
which youll only realize
when you stay to play.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Youll be in charge in
some way. You may have
to deliver some criticism
because of your role,
but youll do this in good
humor. The kindness in
your voice makes people
understand that youre on
their side.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). There was that one
time and it stands out
in your mind now when
you sabotaged your own
success. Today youll have
a chance to right the situ-
ation or, more likely, a
similar situation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Unfortunately, for many
people, its not having love
but getting love thats
exciting. You enjoy a good
chase as much as the next
person, but you will wisely
cherish your catch.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If
you let someone validate
you, that means youre
also giving them the
power to invalidate you.
If anyone is going to give
you points for good
behavior, let it be you.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept.
9). Youll have crystal
mental clarity this month.
Youll see what needs
changing for your ultimate
health and happiness.
Youll put those changes
into effect in October and
November. Youll be learn-
ing new skills through the
end of the year. Your lack
of pretense endears peo-
ple to you. Romantic offers
abound in 2013. Aries and
Gemini people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are:
30, 2, 12, 4 and 18.

The Music Box Players Present
THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL
Sept. 21 to 23,
28 to 30, Oct. 5 to 7
Revolution, NBC (Sept. 17, 10
p.m.): Where were you when the
lights went out? If you answered
in the dark, then you know
where youll be whenthe first hour
of this too-familiar conspiracyyarn
wraps up. 15 years after all electri-
cal power vanishes from the plan-
et, a rag-tag group of renegades
tries to stay alive and solve the
mystery of howto get it back. This
showlooks like Terra Nova, feels
like FlashForward andwill prob-
ably make as much sense as
Lost. Its basically Jericho, so if
you were upset when that show
got canceled, rejoice!
Partners, CBS (Sept. 24, 8:30
p.m.): Think Will & Grace, if
Grace were a straight guy. But Da-
vid Krumholtz (Numbers) is no
DebraMessing, andnobodyinthis
hackneyedandoveractedsitcomis
a scene-stealing Megan Mullally,
though its not for lack of trying.
Tuesdays
GoOn, NBC(Sept. 11, 9p.m.):
MatthewPerry (Friends) plays a
sportscaster and a recent widower
who is ordered into therapy to
oh, forget it. He plays Chandler.
There, I said it. He plays Chandler
just likeheplayedChandler inMr.
Sunshine. Do you like Chandler
Bing? Wouldhebemoreappealing
if he were mourning Monicas de-
mise? Could you BEany more of a
Chandler fan? This is your show.
The NewNormal, NBC(Sept.
11, 9:30 p.m.): Surprise! Im not
sure how long Ryan Murphys
highly stylized study of gay adop-
tion, surrogacy and envelope-
pushingpolitical incorrectnesscan
last, but Ellen Barkin gives Amer-
ican Horror Storys Jessica Lange
a run for best Hey, look its that
aging movie star! Shes doing TV
and shes really good! At least one
network affiliate already has re-
fusedtorunthis show, soitll beon
my DVR for sure.
Ben and Kate, Fox (Sept. 25,
8:30 p.m.): I was predisposed to
dislike this sitcom because it con-
tains yet another idiot man-child
and yet another mixed-up, post-
New Girl woman-child. Its still
not great, but the performances
are so winning, especially Oscar-
winning screenwriter Nat Faxons
turn as freewheeling Ben and 8-
year-old Maggie Jones take on
Kates daughter, Maddie, that I
cant help but root for it.
TheMindyProject, Fox(Sept.
25, 9:30p.m.): Havingwatchedthe
pilot, Imstill not sureexactlywhat
this terribly named, messy sitcom
is about. Mindy Kaling plays a gy-
necologist whosleeps around, par-
ties toomuchandseems toendup
in jail a lot. None of it is particular-
ly clever or funny, but if Kalings
departure had anything to do with
this being the last season of The
Office, well, we all owe her new
show a look just for that.
Vegas, CBS (Sept. 25, 10
p.m.): Big names appear in this
stylish, 60s-set genre-buster that
bets everythingonredbloodred.
Dennis Quaid plays a rough, gruff,
horse-riding sheriff at odds with
Michael Chiklis as a thuggish casi-
no owner. Cowboys, the mafia and
Mad Men glamour make for a
turbulent adolescence in this
case, Sin Citys.
Emily Owens, M.D., The CW
(Oct. 16, 9 p.m.): A first-year doc-
tor (Mamie Gummer) looks for-
ward to adulthood but finds that
her newjobisalot likehighschool,
complete with one of the actual
mean girls who used to torment
her. This light drama could be per-
fect for The CWs audience.
Wednesdays
Animal Practice, NBC (Sept.
26, 8 p.m.): I cant decide if this sit-
com starring Justin Kirk
(Weeds) as a wacky but well-in-
tentioned veterinarian is a dog or
for the birds. This might help you
decide if its your cup of kibble: a
monkey steals the show.
Guys with Kids, NBC (Sept.
26, 8:30p.m.): Theonlygoodthing
I cansay about this awful tale of in-
ept fathers is that in a few weeks,
well be referring to it as Actors
without Jobs. Maybe Im wrong;
the laugh track seemed to love it.
The Neighbors, ABC (Sept.
26, 9:30 p.m.): Remember 3rd
Rock From the Sun? Some idiot
programming executive over at
Fox does. This show is like 3rd
Rock in reverse: A family discov-
ers that all the other residents of
their new subdivision are aliens.
The premise might be interstellar,
but thats the only time youll see
the word stellar associated with
The Neighbors.
Arrow, The CW (Oct. 10, 8
p.m.): The CW tries, with mixed
results, to give DC Comics hero
The GreenArrowthe kindof treat-
ment director Christopher Nolan
brought to the big-screen Batman
reboot.
ChicagoFire, NBC(Oct. 10, 10
p.m.): If you always thought that
Greys Anatomy would be better
in a firehouse, slide down a pole
and pull up a couch.
Nashville, ABC (Oct. 10, 10
p.m.): This show is so far outside
of my wheelhouse that I ought to
hate it. I blame Friday Night
Lights star Connie Britton for
making me feel otherwise. She is
fierce, vulnerable and thoroughly
believable as Rayna James, an ag-
ing country diva facing obscurity
and competition from a trampy,
young rising star played by Hay-
den Panettiere. Theres a political
storyline here, too, whichis boring
and a bit hard to follow, but when-
ever the guitars start twangin,
theres tons of potential for good,
soapy, All Bout Eve-type fun.
Thursdays
Last Resort, ABC (Sept. 27, 8
p.m.): I predict strong sea legs for
this stylish, well-acted tale of a
roguesubmarinecrewthat ignores
orderstofirenuclear weaponsand,
instead, takes up residence on an
island, declaring themselves an in-
dependent nation. Imagine Gilli-
gans Island if the Professor had
been J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Elementary, CBS (Sept. 27, 10
p.m.): Sherlock Holmes in mod-
ern-day New York City with a fe-
male Watson? A female Watson
played by Lucy Liu? In spite of the
initial Monk-like feel, it works.
Its not as good as the best of the
BBCsownHolmesupdate, but the
set-up here is clever, and fans frus-
trated by the Beebs lack of epi-
sodes (and long gaps between sea-
sons) should give this series a
shot.
Beauty and the Beast, The
CW(Oct. 11, 9 p.m.): The beast in
this reboot is a post-9/ 11 genetic
experiment who, apparently, only
gets ugly when he gets mad, like a
flesh-colored Hulk. Bonus: No
singing tableware!
Fridays
MadeinJersey, CBS(Sept. 28,
9 p.m.): Think The Real House-
wives meets TheGoodWife. Ja-
net Montgomery (Entourage)
plays a street-smart law prodigy
with the most annoying voice
since The Nanny, an uncanny
knack for crime-solving and a pen-
chant for shoutinghalf of her lines.
But I guess thats OK since she
comes from such a stereotypical
Italian TV family. TV Italians
shout a lot.
Malibu Country, ABC(Nov. 2,
8:30 p.m.): Its like Reba meets
Hannah Montana with a bit of
Nip/ Tuck thrown in for not-so-
good measure. Country star Reba
McEntire looks like shes hada ton
of facial work, but this corny, start-
ing-over sitcomis still waitingfor a
script doctor.
Star children
Dakota Johnson, daughter of
MelanieGriffithandDonJohnson,
plays Kate in Ben & Kate, while
Meryl Streeps daughter, Mamie
Gummer, is the titular Emily
Owens, M.D.
Windy City
Chicago Fire, Mob Doctor
and Revolution are all set in the
city of big shoulders. Its a hoot to
see Revolutions future Wrigley
Field completely overgrown with
dense greenery where theres cur-
rentlyjust ivycoveringtheoutfield
walls.
These shows join Boss, The
Forgotten, The Good Wife,
Happy Endings, The League,
Mike and Molly, Shameless
andWhitney intheir Windy City
settings. Last years Chicago-set
Against the Wall, The Chicago
Code, ThePlayboyClub, Terra
Nova and Traffic Light were all
canceled.

Back to his roots
Landau still makes it back to
NEPA for family reunions and
to visit his 90-plus-years-old
great-aunt, Ruth Levey of King-
ston. So much of direct family
lived in Wilkes-Barre, he says.
When my family migrated to
America, Wilkes-Barre is where
they landed. So, I think its
where my roots are, at least as
far as my mothers side of the
family is concerned.
Landau comes by his love of
producing naturally. Both of his
parents Edie andElyLandau
were movie producers who
oversaw films both big and
small, including Long Days
Journey Into Night with Kath-
arine Hepburn, The Greek Ty-
coon with Anthony Quinn,
The Pawnbroker with Rod
Steiger and The Man In The
Glass Booth with Maximilian
Schell.
Initially, Lan-
daus parents
were wary of hav-
ing their son fol-
low in their foot-
steps. They
wanted me to do
anything but be a
producer, he
says. But movies
are what Ive al-
ways been pas-
sionate about.
In the early
1980s, Landau
landed a gig as a
personal assist-
ant to Dick Van
Dyke on the TV
movie Max and
Sam. He quickly
worked his way
up the Holly-
wood ladder,
eventually pro-
ducing movies at
Disney, including
Dick Tracy and
Honey, I Shrunk
The Kids.
By the mid-1990s, Landau
was an executive at 20th Centu-
ry Fox when he ran into James
Cameron, who was then direct-
ing True Lies, the Arnold
Schwarzenegger spy vehicle.
I was the studio heavy, Lan-
dau says with a laugh. Peter
Chernin, who ran Fox at the
time, told Jim not to call him
but solve things withme. I went
on location with Jim, and even
though Jim and I didnt see eye
to eye on everything, we devel-
oped a mutual respect for each
other.
I think Jim realized that my
opinions were my ownopinions
and not what I was being told to
say by the studio. He also real-
ized that my opinions were sim-
ply what I thought was best for
the movie.
Cameron was so impressed
with Landaus honesty that he
asked him to help produce Ti-
tanic. The movie wound up
shattering box-office records
andnetting11Oscars, including
ones for Best Picture and Best
Director.
Avatar, the pairs follow-up,
was an ever bigger smash and
almost singlehandedly made
3-D commercially viable.
A veritable treat bag
While Landau says Avatar
3-D: Collectors Edition ($40)
will be light on special features
given the limited amount of in-
formation that can be placed on
3-D Blu-rays, the Titanic 2-D
and3-DBlu-raysets will befour-
disc collections stuffed with
goodies.
The 2-DBlu-ray set ($40) and
the 3-D Blu-ray set ($45) will
each contain nearly three hours
of bonus footage, including an
exploration of the film with
Cameron and a documentary
produced by National Geo-
graphic that brings the worlds
leading Titanic experts togeth-
er to solve the lingering myster-
ies of why and howthe unsink-
able ship sank.
The sets also will boast 30 de-
leted scenes, more than 60 be-
hind-the-scenes featurettes and
three commentary tracks.
It wasnt Avatars theatrical
success in 3-D that got Landau
and Cameron thinking about
switching over the 2-D Titan-
ic to the 3-D format. In fact,
Cameron first pondered the de-
cision to add another dimen-
sion to Titanic back in 2000.
Ten years later, the project
was begun in earnest, with the
filmmakers going over the film
frame by frame. Landau says
turningTitanic intoa 3-Dfilm
was a painstaking artistic en-
deavor that took more than 60
weeks to complete.
Alot of people thinkthat you
take a 2-D movie and put it
through the computer and out
comes out the 3-D version. But
thats not the case, he says.
3-Dis a creative process. Every
shot becomes like a visual ef-
fects shot. We placed every sin-
gle object in the movie in 3-D
space.
AskedwhichTitanic scenes
were the most challenging to
add dimension to, Landau cites
thedining-roomscenes because
of the many objects that litter
the tables.
The glasses, the plates, the
food all of that had to be given
a dimension, he says. Those
objects had to be
placed in the
right 3-D space
so they didnt
distract (from
the action) and
felt natural.
A second wave
When Titan-
ic was rere-
leased in thea-
ters this spring,
it once again
turned into a
box-office phe-
nom, grossing
another $350
million world-
wide.
Landau is not
surprised the
movie continues
to cast its spell
over a newgener-
ation of film-
goers. At the
heart of the Kate
Winslet/Leonar-
do DiCaprio flick
is both a lesson in the fact that
bigger is not necessarily better
and a look at love and death.
We all aspire for true love,
and we all have to face death at
some point, Landau notes.
The movie brings those two
things together. When youre
watching the movie, youre
thinking, Howwill I handlemy-
self in the face of death?
Also, perhaps most impor-
tantly, it shows Kates Rose in a
more desperate situation than
anybody watching the movie.
Shes in the frigid waters of the
NorthAtlantic losingthe love of
her life. So no matter what bills
you have on your desk or what
doctor has called or what fight
happened on the playground,
shes in worse shape.
And the movie shows that
Rose got out of those waters
and went on to live a full and re-
warding life. Andit says to audi-
ences, If she candothat, maybe
I can, too.
The other big title
Oddly enough, until now the
Avatar 3-D Blu-ray has been
available exclusively through
Panasonic, one of the makers of
3-D televisions. (The 2-D Ava-
tar is the most successful Blu-
ray of all time).
As the number of homes
with 3-D televisions continues
to grow, we thought it was im-
portant to bring the biggest 3-D
film ever right into your living
room, Landau says. This is
the only way fans shouldexperi-
ence the world of Pandora, and
this release offers the highest
picture quality possible.
Recently, Avatar star Si-
gourney Weaver told reporters
that Cameron was shooting
three Avatar sequels simulta-
neously.
Landau says thats only par-
tially true. We are doing two
back-to-back but not a third, he
notes.
As for when movie-goers can
expect to go back to Pandora,
Landau says, essentially, itll
happen when it happens.
Look, Avatar 2 is going to
be in theaters when its ready,
the producer explains. But, as
far Im concerned, weve al-
ready started working on it.

I
n the winter of 1954-55, State De-
partment intelligence analyst
Paul Kattenburg was in Saigon
puzzling over the wisest course
for U.S. policymakers.
France, with its army defeated at
Dien Bien Phu and colonial ambi-
tions in Asia at an end, was preparing
toleave. The Eisenhower administra-
tion was stoking the ambitions of
Ngo Dinh Diemto become president
of an independent Republic of Viet-
namin the area south of an armistice
line drawn at the 17th parallel.
Kattenberg recommended that the
U.S. give Ho Chi Minhs communist
government in Hanoi $500 million to
rebuild and forget about holding the
line.
Kattenberg guessed the amount
would be enough to win Hos friend-
ship, prying him away from China
and the Soviet Union. Ho had looked
for support from the U.S. starting in
1919, whenhewent toParis hopingto
see President WoodrowWilson so he
could argue the case for Vietnamese
independence.
It was one of those moments that
offered a fork in the road. They crop
up many times in Fredrik Logevalls
Embers of War. Hindsight makes
them tantalizing.
In their own time, American poli-
cymakers dismissed them as unwise
or crazy. Vietnamwas subordinate to
concerns about peace in Europe in
1919. In 1955, Ho Chi Minh was too
bound up in communism during a
global ColdWar towinfavor inWash-
ington.
There are thousands of books
about the VietnamWar. Amazon.com
lists 3,443. Alot of themrender harsh
judgments on former presidents Lyn-
don Johnson and Richard Nixon and
the military leadership they chose to
lead the American war effort. Loge-
vall offers Embers of War as a histo-
ry of how it all began. The how takes
some telling nearly 800 pages. It is
very much worth the read, though,
both for the story and the writing.
Logevall opens with an invitation
to muse.
Ho visited Boston and New York
in 1913 and a few years later read
Woodrow Wilsons Fourteen Points.
The United States, he came fervently
to believe, could be the champion of
his cause. (In the French nightmare,
he was right.) In 1919, at the end of
the Great War, withWilsondue inPa-
ris to negotiate a peace to end all
wars, the unknown young national-
ist set out to make his case. Its here
that our story begins.
At first, only the French police
were interested. By 1920, Ho was at-
tending French Communist Party
meetings. In Lenins writings, he
found a path for defeating colonial
rule. When Germany rolled over
France in1940, Ho sawan opportuni-
ty to return home after more than 30
years abroad and begin the struggle
for independence.
Ho recedes from the narrative as
World War II and other global strug-
gles inject themselves into Vietname-
se affairs. Franklin Roosevelt had no
sympathy with French colonialismin
Indochina. He wanted France to
withdraw, as Washington vowed to
do in the Philippines, once the Japa-
nese were defeated.
Roosevelt also had little patience
with Charles de Gaulles attempts to
overcome the humiliation of defeat
and reclaim for France a role as a
global power.
When Japan surrendered, Ho de-
clared Vietnamese independence. De
Gaulle felt that reclaiming Indochina
was essential to French power. Roo-
sevelt was dead, and Harry Truman
was worried about communism in
Europe. Truman offered no objection
to de Gaulles ambitions.
It was a monumental decision by
Truman in historical terms, and like
so many that U.S. presidents would
make in the decades to come, it had
littletodowithVietnamitself it was
all about American priorities on the
world stage, Logevall writes.
France fought for a decade, losing
more than 110,000 killed or missing.
But the French came to deeply regret
their early diplomatic success in
Washington. While Dwight Eisen-
hower seemed OK with an armistice
in Korea, he was not willing to sup-
port French efforts to reach a similar
cease-fire in Vietnam.
A surprisingly hawkish Eisenhow-
er came to the edge of full military in-
tervention as France neared defeat in
the battle of DienBienPhu. Ina Cabi-
net argument with his treasury secre-
tary, Eisenhower introduced the
domino theory the toppling of Viet-
nam to communism, he said, would
lead to communist victories across
Southeast Asia.
Embers of War has the balance
and heft to hold hindsights swift ver-
dicts at bay. French and Vietnamese
sources andaccounts helpinformthe
story, including some that describe
how close Hos forces came to defeat
and how badly and cruelly they gov-
erned once theyd taken over in the
north.
This is an excellent, valuable book.

URLINGTON, Vt.
Mountain and lake
views along with fall
foliage can be had for free in
Vermonts largest city of Bur-
lington, which feels more
like a big town than a city.
The college town, home to
the University of Vermont
and a number of other
schools, sits on the shores of
Lake Champlain, a 120-mile
(193-kilometer) lake be-
tween Vermont and upstate
New York, with spectacular
views of the Adirondack
Mountains. The city offers a
waterfront bike and walking
path and parks as well as a
downtown pedestrian mall,
easy access to mountain
hikes and foliage viewing, all
at no cost.
BIKE PATH: Burlington has a
7.5-mile (12-kilometer) recre-
ational path that runs along Lake
Champlain from Oakledge Park
in the southern end of the city to
the Winooski River, at the north-
ern point. The path runs through
three waterfront parks, past city
neighborhoods, andoffers bikers,
walkers and runners spectacular
views of the lake and Adirondack
Mountains across the water in
New York. Details at http://
www.enjoyburlington.com/
Parks/BikePath1.cfm .
CHURCHSTREETMARKET-
PLACE: The center of downtown
is Church Street Marketplace,
four city blocks paved with brick
that have been closed to traffic so
that pedestrians canstroll among
shops and restaurants, many of
which offer outdoor dining in
warm weather. The array of
shops and restaurants from Leu-
nigs Bistro to Ben & Jerrys to
Frog HollowVermont State Craft
Center can be viewed at http://
www.churchstreetmarketplace-
.com .
WATERFRONTPARK: Within
walking distance of downtown
are 900 feet of lakeshore, a board-
walk and benches, and scenic
boathouse where visitors can
watch ferries come and go, see
boats in the marina and enjoy the
sunset, http://www.enjoybur-
lington.com/waterfront.cfm .
SCENIC FOLIAGE VIEWING:
Less than an hours drive from
Burlington are small towns, dirt
roads, farms, mountain passes,
and ski areas that offer grand
views of Vermonts colorful fall
foliage. Interstate 89 South,
Route 2 East andRoute116 are all
good bets for leaf-peepers. Travel
to Bolton Valley or Stowe Moun-
tain Resort or head up Route 108
through Smugglers Notch, a nar-
row, windy mountain pass, be-
tween Stowe and Jeffersonville,
past 1,000-foot (300-meter) rock
cliffs and boulders. At the top of
the pass is Smugglers Notch
State Park. The road is not open
in the winter.
HIKES: Vermont is known for
the Green Mountains, which are
visible from Burlington, enticing
hikers and skiers out of the city.
Within an hours drive of the city
are trails to climb Mount Mans-
field, Vermonts tallest peak at
4,395 feet (1,340 meters), Cam-
els Hump (4,083 feet or 1,244
meters) or Mount Hunger (3,539
feet or 1,079 meters). The region
also abounds with shorter, easier
hikes such as Moss Glen Falls
Trail in Stowe or the Sterling
Pond on the Long Trail. For a list
of hikes, check out the Green
Mountain Club at http://
www.greenmountainclub.org .

would probably call an annoy-
ing invasion of spoiled yup-
pies.
But thats beside the point;
glamping is here to stay. Once
a fringe getaway community
mostly reserved for honey-
mooner types who wanted to
get away from it all and were
considered justified in self-in-
dulgent bliss, its now accept-
able for anyone to have their
cake andeat it witha platinum
fork, too.
I used to joke that Id camp
more if they had roomservice.
Apparently, I wasnt the only
one whining about the lack of
amenities in the great out-
doors.
Natures great, but its just
so nature-y.
The luxury camping busi-
ness has cropped up to
smooth out the edges of
roughing it. Campsites re-
semble resorts with spacious
tents, deluxe beds and some-
times maid service. There are
camp fires you dont have to
make, gourmet dinners you
dont have to cook and dishes
you dont have to wash. There
are luxurious private outdoor
rain showers, water heaters
and sometimes air condition-
ing.
As a small sacrifice, theres
usually no cell-phone recep-
tion or televisions. But just in
case, zazzle.com has a host of
wilderness-themed iPhone
cases available in the $45
range.
It wouldnt be glamping
without the proper accoutre-
ments.
William Henry has a Swa-
rovski gemstone pocketknife
to keep even the smallest task
glamorous. And wouldnt it be
nice to keep your high-end
beauty products dry with
Louis Vuittons Sirocco water-
repellent extra-large backpack
($3,100) at louisvuitton.com?
And if shiny burgundy leather
hiking book by Brunello Cuci-
nelli with woodsy dark gray
knit laces ($1,660) at Neiman
Marcus isnt your style for hit-
ting the trail, youcouldopt for
a waterproof customized Tim-
berland hiking shoe available
in more than a dozen colors
and more than 10 custom op-
tions.
And for die-hard glampers
who want to spare no expense
(or ridicule), Chanel makes an
inflatable raft (prices available
onrequest) for lazy river trips.
Never mind that Yahoo
news deemed the Chanel raft
one of its 18 absurd and frivo-
lous designer items and gave
it the caption, Help! I just
bought this designer raft and
now Im drowning in debt!
Killjoys.
Sip your artisanal roasted
coffee from your Kate Spade
travel cup by the roaring syn-
thetic fire and enjoy nature
with all the comforts of home.
