Luzerne County voters made
history this time last year by

choosing a switch to home rule
county government, and in two
days they will pick the 11 council
members who will oversee the
transformation.
Voters get to pick from a roster
of 28 contenders 11 Democrats,
11Republicans, twoIndependents,
three Libertarians and a member
of the American Independent Par-
ty.
Its an
awesome
responsibil-
ity for vot-
ers because
the entire
first council
must be
chosen at
once.
The
freshman
council
must hire
the first
county
manager
and imple-
ment poli-
cies, codes
and proce-
dures that
detail how
the new
government will function.
Members will also have to re-
solve unforeseen issues that will
arise frommeldingthe countys of-
ten complicated web of services
and employees into the newstruc-
ture.
David Sosar, professor of politi-
cal science at Kings College, said
he hopes voters chose candidates
they really, truly trust for the
task.
The voters of the county want-
edachangeincountygovernment,
so its in all our best interest that if
we want that change, choose peo-
plewhoaregoingtomakeit work,
Sosar said.
Distinguishing among the 28
candidates may be a challenge for
voters because there are no glar-

Luzerne Countys public
schools have become veritable
fight clubs, according to new
state data in the annual School
Safety Reports.
In the countys 11 school dis-
tricts combined, the number of
fighting incidents rose from 74
in the 2006-07 school year to163
in 2010-11.
A big chunk of that climb oc-
curred in a single year, with re-
ports of fighting rising last year
58 percent from
2009-10, when the
total for all 11 dis-
tricts was 103.
But the annual
documents come
with an annual ca-
veat: The num-
bers seem prone
toerror andincon-
sistency despite
repeated state efforts to make
them uniform and reliable.
Take the dramatic spike in re-
ported fighting at Pittston Area
and Hazleton Area, which seem
to show two sides of the incon-
sistency coin: over-reported and
underreported numbers.
State data show that Pittston
Area reported nine fighting inci-
dents in 2006-07, and 33 in 2010-
11. A closer look shows most of
the increase occurred at the mid-
dle school, with five fights in
2006-07, and 28 in 2010-11.

trick Bilbow admitted he was

COURT BRIEFS
HARRISBURG J. Michael
Eakin, one of the sevenjustices on
Pennsylvanias highest court, is
one of the top fundraisers among
the judicial candidates on Tues-
days statewide ballot.
But unlike some the other can-
didates, Eakin has no opponent.
He is one of six jurists and
the only state Supreme Court jus-
tice whoare listedonthe ballot
for yes-or-no retention votes to
determine whether they should
be retained for additional 10-year
terms.
As of Thursday, Eakins cam-
paign had raised more than
$526,000 more than any of the
four Republican and Democratic
candidates competing for one
open seat each on the Superior
and Commonwealth courts. His
committee had more than
$358,000inthe bankas of Oct. 24,
according to campaign finance re-
ports.
His biggest contributions came
fromfellowRepublicans inthe po-
litical establishment: The PA Fu-
ture Fund, a political committee
headed by GOP national commit-
teemanRobert Asher, contributed
at least $62,000. Gov. Tom Cor-
betts campaign gave $50,000.
Committees run by Senate Presi-
dent Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati
and Senate Majority Leader Do-
minic Pileggi chipped in $25,000
apiece, and House Majority Lead-
er Mike Turzais committee gave
$10,000.
Lawfirms, unions, andbusiness
organizations areamongtheinter-
est groups that provided smaller
amounts.
Acampaignspokesmandefend-
ed Eakins fundraising as a com-
mon-sense pre-
caution against
an 11th-hour at-
tempt to deny
him a second
term.
I think re-
cent history
tells us we have
tobeprepared,saidRobert Graci,
a Harrisburg lawyer and longtime
Eakin friend.
For many years, retention elec-
tions were a mundane part of
Pennsylvanias judicial election
process that predictably resulted
in lopsided margins in fa-
vor of the incumbents.
But that changedabrupt-
ly in 2005, when citizen ac-
tivists turned retention
votes on two Supreme
Court justices into a refer-
endumonthe Legislatures
secretive and wildly un-
popular vote earlier that
year to give pay raises to
top officials in all three
branches of the state gov-
ernment.
Then-Justice Russell Ni-
gro became the first state-
widejudgetobeturnedout
of office, while former jus-
tice Sandra Schultz New-
mannarrowlywonanother
term.
Though lawmakers re-
pealedthe pay raise lawshortly af-
ter that election, the Supreme
Court retroactively restored the
increases for the states roughly
1,000 judges just before the 2006
legislative elections.
In2007, seekingtotaplingering
voter antipathy over the pay-raise
issue again, activists urged no
votes onthe retentionof Supreme
Court Justice Thomas Saylor and
dozens of other incumbent judges
around the state whose terms
wereabout toexpire. Saylorraised
more than $619,000 to defend his
seat andwonretentionalongwith
all six other appellate judges.
Graci said social networking
sites like Facebook and Twitter
make it easier for political activ-
ists to mobilize supporters on
short notice and that even candi-
dates with no known opposition
need contingency plans and
money to counter a late-surfac-
ing challenge.
Eakin, 62, a former Cumber-
land County district at-
torney known during
his tenure on the Supe-
rior Court for writing
opinions that rhymed,
has begun airing an in-
troductory TV cam-
paign ad in some Penn-
sylvania media mar-
kets.
The fact of the mat-
ter is, weelect our judg-
es and we cause them
to stand for retention,
Graci said. That
means you have to
raise money to afford
TV, radioor newspaper
advertising.
What happens to the
moneyif most of it goes
unspent remains a
question mark.
Ethical rules require judicial
candidates to terminate fundrais-
ingbythe endof the calendar year
in which they are running and bar
them from using campaign funds
for their or their families benefit.
The state Election Code says left-
over funds may be used to pay
campaignbills or returnedonpro-
rated basis to contributors.

WILKES-BARRE When
Christopher Hodorowski, 26,
was told a surprise awaited him,
he had no idea it would be a cher-
ry-red 2001 Nissan Altima with a
big white bow on its hood.
He gasped as Joseph Fumanti,
owner of Auto Buddies in Plains
Township, drove the car fromthe
kitchen onto the dance floor at
Genettis Saturday night.
The fundraiser was sponsored
by All About Singles of Wilkes-
Barre to raise money for Hodo-
rowski, of Hanover Township,
who was diagnosed with Hodg-
kins lymphoma in February.
He was floored, said Hodo-
rowskis mother, Helyn. He had
no idea. He thought this was just
a benefit and there was a raffle.
Before his diagnosis, Hodo-
rowskis car broke down, so he
hadtowalktohis jobas a custom-
er service representative at Tel-
erX in the Hanover Industrial
Park.
Even during his chemotherapy
treatments, which he just com-
pleted two weeks ago, Hodorow-
ski made the daily 20-minute trek
throughthe woods to his job. He
walks through the woods in the
winter, in the snow, in the rain
and in the intense heat, said He-
lyn.
As he got weaker and sicker, it
took him longer, she added. He
could have taken the easy way
out and go on disability, but he
didnt want to, she said. No
matter how sick he was, no mat-
ter how many fevers he had, hed
get right back on his feet.
Proceeds from ticket sales and
basket raffles raisedenoughmon-
ey to purchase the vehicle, with
extra money left over for Hodo-
rowski.

New turnpike bridges open
Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission
Chief Executive Officer Roger Nutt
Friday joined state legislators, civic and
business leaders in cutting a ceremo-
nial ribbon to formally open new
bridges above the Lehigh River and
Pohopoco Creek on
the Turnpikes North-
eastern Extension,
Interstate 476, in
Carbon County.
The $101.6 million
project located just
south of the Mahon-
ing Valley Interchange
was begun in Janu-
ary 2009. It involved replacement of
two bridges with four new spans
(northbound and southbound traffic is
now carried on separate structures)
that together equal about a mile of new
bridge.
The original Lehigh River and Poho-
poco Creek bridges located two miles
north of the Lehigh Tunnel between
mileposts 73 and 75 opened to traffic
Nov. 7, 1957.

The Times Leader remains the num-
ber one newspaper in Luzerne County
in Sunday and daily circulation, ac-
cording to the latest report from the
Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC),
the print media industrys official au-
diting firm.
The ABC Fas-Fax figures released
this week detail a six-month period
ending Sept. 30, 2011, and compare
the data to the same six-month period
from a year prior. The Times Leader
on Sunday, including branded edi-
tions, gained 18,296 print subscribers.
For the same period, The Sunday
Voice and The Sunday Standard
Speaker, which report their numbers
as one combined entity, lost 595 print
subscribers. The Fas-Fax reports are
based on figures sup-
plied by the publishers
and are subject to audit
by the ABC.
The Fas-Fax report-
ed the daily edition of
The Citizens Voice
lost 1,362 print sub-
scribers and the daily
edition of The Stan-
dard Speaker lost 836
print subscribers, a
combined 2,198 fewer copies than the
same six months reported in the 2010
publishers statement, whereas the
daily edition of The Times Leader saw
a loss of only 128 print subscribers.
The Times Leader and its branded
editions now reach more than 70,000
homes on Sunday, and more than
40,000 homes daily, on
a five-day average.
The Times Leader al-
so continues to grow

PLAINS TWP. A kaleidoscope of
the senses is greeting the crowds at the
annual Inkin the Valley and Side Show
Gathering at the Woodlands Inn this
weekend.
The event was organized by Hazle-
ton promoter Kim Kossa, daughter of
event founder Franco Kossa, who died
in March. The festival features tattoo
artists from across the country as well
as a one-of-a-kind gathering of nation-
ally known sideshow acts who per-
formed before a banner that proudly
read, A Cavalcade of Human Oddi-
ties.
That officially is known as the 10th
Annual Sideshow Gathering.
Tattoo tables were filled with cus-
tomers in various positions, bending,
squatting and sitting as they had arms,
legs, heads and torsos creatively inked
by the talented artists.
Its a human freak parade, said as-
sistant promoter Joe Domkowski of
Dallas. A gathering of freaks, geeks
and oddities under one roof.
Domkowski said the tattoo conven-
tion is in its 18th year and the promo-
ters expect to attract about 1,500 peo-
ple this year.
Im a purveyor of the Variety Arts,
said Michael Kattner of Hazleton who
performs as Professor Fountain. As an
artist, Im trying to keep the side show
tradition alive.

TEHRAN, IRAN
Iran dismisses nuke claims
N
ew intelligence the U.N. atomic
agency plans to release on alleged
nuclear weapons work by Iran is fab-
ricated, the Iranian foreign minister
said Saturday.
Diplomats have told The Associated
Press that the International Atomic
Energy Agency plans to reveal intelli-
gence in the coming week suggesting
Iran made computer models of a nucle-
ar warhead, as well as other previously
undisclosed details on alleged secret
work by Tehran on nuclear arms.
Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi
accused the IAEA of giving in to U.S.
pressure to level accusations against
Iran, which insists its nuclear program
is only for peaceful aims like energy
production.
COLUMBUS, OHIO
Union battle election focus
A ballot battle in Ohio that pits the
union rights of public workers against
Republican efforts to shrink govern-
ment and limit organized labors reach
culminates Tuesday in a vote with
political consequences from state-
houses to Pennsylvania Avenue.
A question called Issue 2 asks voters
to accept or reject a voluminous re-
write of Ohios collective bargaining
law that GOP Gov. John Kasich signed
in March, less than three months after
his party regained power in the closely
divided swing state.
The legislation affects more than
350,000 police, firefighters, teachers,
nurses and other government workers.

Arab League warns Syria
Violence erupted Saturday in the
restive Syrian city of Homs, killing at
least five people as tank shells
slammed into an area that has turned
into one of the main centers of both
protest and reprisal during the seven-
month uprising, activists said.
Bloodshed linked to the military
crackdown on dissent and what appear
to be sectarian revenge killings have
engulfed Homs in recent weeks, killing
scores in the countrys third-largest
city. The deaths are adding to fears
that a peace plan brokered by the Arab
League was unraveling only days after
Damascus agreed to a halt.
The head of the Arab League warned
Saturday that the failure of the plan
would have disastrous consequences.
FRESNO, CALIF.
Family sues Four Loco
The family of Rod Fiorini, a Fresno
Pacific University student killed in a
police shooting last year, is suing the
makers of the alcoholic energy drink
Four Loko.
Brett and Pam Fiorini, who live in
Bakersfield, Calif., are seeking damages
for the wrongful death of their son.
The lawsuit was filed this week in
Fresno County Superior Court by Fres-
no, Calif., attorney Bill Schmidt.
The lawsuit alleges that Chicago-
based Phusion Projects, maker of Four
Loko, created a dangerous drink caus-
ing Fiorinis strange and violent behav-
ior that ultimately led to his death.
The lawsuit also names City Brewing
Company, which bottles Four Loko,
Fresno distributor Donaghy Sales and
SSS Chevron, the convenience store on
Butler Avenue where Fiorini bought
Four Loko.
Four Loko spokeswoman Caroline
Friedman declined Friday to comment
on the lawsuit but said the company
would "defend all cases in the courts ...
and we will do so vigorously."

DALLAS CENTRE HARDWARE
ATHENS, Greece Greeces prime
minister struggled Saturday to form a
temporary coalition government in the
near-bankrupt country, extending a po-
litical deadlock threatening billions in
international rescue funds.
In an impassioned plea to parliament
late Friday, George Papandreou agreed
to step aside as premier if necessary to
help hammer out a coalition, offering to
include the conservative opposition
party a possibility swiftly rejected by
that partys leader.
Papandreou said
the new government
would need four
months to secure the
new 130 billion euro
rescue agreement and
demonstrate the
countrys commit-
ment to remaining in
the eurozone.
Cooperation is necessary to guaran-
tee for Greece and for our partners
that we can honor our commit-
ments, Papandreou said at a meeting
SaturdaywithPresident Karolos Papou-
lias, hours after his Socialist govern-
ment narrowly survived a confidence
vote.
I amconcerned that a lack of cooper-
ation could trouble how our partners
see our will and desire to remain in the
central core of the European Union and
the euro.
But Papandreous plea was snubbed
by conservative opposition leader Anto-
nis Samaras.
We have not asked for any place in
his government. All we want is for Mr.
Papandreou to resign, because he has
become dangerous for the country,
Samaras saidina televisedaddress. We
insist on immediate elections.
Samaras was due to meet the presi-
dent today.
Frustrated with Greeces protracted
political disagreements, the countrys
creditors have threatened to withhold
the next critical 8 billion euro loan in-
stallment until the new debt deal is for-
mally approved in Greece.
Greece is survivingona110billioneu-
ro rescue-loan program from eurozone
partners and the International Moneta-
ry Fund. It is currently finalizing a sec-
ond major deal: to receive an additional
130 billion euro in rescue loans and
bank support, with banks agreeing to
cancel 50 percent of their Greek debt.

LAGOS, Nigeria Residents
fearfully left their homes Satur-
day to bury their dead in north-
east Nigeria following a series of
coordinated attacks that killed
at least 67 people and left a new
police headquarters in ruins,
government offices burned and
symbols of state power de-
stroyed.
A radical Muslim sect known
locally as Boko Haram claimed
responsibility
for the attacks
in Borno and
Yobe states,
with the worst
damage done
in and around
the city of Da-
maturu.
The group al-
so promised to
continue its
bloody sectarian fight against
Nigerias weak central govern-
ment, with residents nervously
moving through empty streets,
waiting for the next attack.
Theres that fear that some-
thing might possibly happen
again, Nigerian Red Cross offi-
cial Ibrahim Bulama said.
In Damaturu, the capital of
Yobe state, a car bomb exploded
Friday afternoon outside a
three-story building used as a
military office andbarracks, kill-
ing many uniformed security
agents, Bulama said.
Gunmen then went through
the town, blowing up a bank and
attacking at least three police
stations and some churches,
leaving them in rubble, he said.

WASHINGTONThejobs
crisis has left so many people
out of work for so long that
most of Americas unemploy-
ed are no longer receiving un-
employment benefits.
Early last year, 75 percent
were receiving checks. The
figure is now 48 percent a
shift that points to a growing
crisis of long-term unemploy-
ment. Nearly one-third of
Their options include food
stamps or other social pro-
grams. Nearly 46 million peo-
ple received food stamps in
August, a record total. That
figurecouldgrowas morepeo-
ple lose unemployment bene-
fits.
So could the governments
disability rolls. Applications
for the disability insurance
program have jumped about
50 percent since 2007.
Theres going to be in-
creasedhardship, saidWayne
Vroman, an economist at the
Urban Institute.
The number of unemployed
has been roughly stable this
year. Yet the number receiving
benefits has plunged 30 per-
cent.
Government unemploy-
ment benefits werent de-
signed to sustain people for
long stretches without work.
They usually dont have to. In
the recoveries from the previ-
ous three recessions, the long-
est average duration of unem-
ployment was 21 weeks, in Ju-
ly 1983.
By contrast, in the wake of
the Great Recession, the fig-
ure reached 41 weeks in Sep-
tember. Thats the longest on
records dating to 1948. The
figure is now 39 weeks.
Americas 14 million unem-
ployed have had no job for a
year or more.
Congress is expected to de-
cide by years end whether to
continue providing emergen-
cy unemployment benefits for
up to 99 weeks in the hardest-
hit states. If the emergency
benefits expire, the propor-
tionof the unemployedreceiv-
ing aid would fall further.
Yet for a growing share of
the unemployed, a vote in
Congress to extend the bene-
fits to 99 weeks is irrelevant.
Theyve had no job for more
than 99 weeks. Theyre no
longer eligible for benefits.
Benefits ended for most jobless
Only 48 percent of
unemployed are still
receiving benefit checks.

PALATKA, Fla. A nation-
wide shortage of geriatricians
doctors who specializes in
treatingthe elderly is goingto
get worse as the 70 million
membersof thebaby-boomgen-
erationthosenow46to65
reachtheir senior yearsover the
next fewdecades.
The American Geriatrics So-
ciety says today theres roughly
one geriatrician for every 2,600
people 75 and older. Without a
drastic change inthe number of
doctors choosing the specialty,
the ratio is projected to fall to
one geriatrician for every 3,800
older Americans by 2030.
Though not every senior
needs a geriatrician, their train-
ing often makes them the best
equipped to respond when an
older patient has multiple med-
ical problems.
But with few doctors drawn
to the field and some fleeing it,
the disparity between the num-
ber of geriatricians andthe pop-
ulation it serves is destined to
growevenstarker.
Were an endangered spe-
cies, said Dr. Rosanne Leipzig,
a renowned geriatrician at
Mount Sinai Medical Center in
NewYork.
Geriatriciansrankamongthe
lowest-paidmedical specialties,
with a median salary of
$183,523 last year, according to
the Medical Group Manage-
ment Association, which tracks
physician pay. That sounds like
alot, but manyother specialties
pay two or three times more.

NEW YORK Andy Rooney
so dreaded the day he had to
end his signature 60 Minutes
commentaries about lifes large
and small absurdities that he
kept going until he was 92 years
old.
Even then, he said he wasnt
retiring. Writers never retire.
But his life after the end of A
Few Minutes With Andy Roo-
ney was short: He died Friday
night, according to CBS, only a
month after delivering his
1,097th and final televised com-
mentary.
Rooney had gone to the hospi-
tal for an undisclosed surgery,
but major complications devel-
oped and he never recovered.
Andy always said he wanted
to work until the day he died,
and he managed to do it, save
the last few weeks in
the hospital, said his
60 Minutes col-
league, correspondent
Steve Kroft.
Rooney talked on
60 Minutes about
what was in the news,
and his opinions occa-
sionally got him in
trouble. But he was
just as likely to discuss the old
clothes in his closet, why air
travel had become unpleasant
and why banks needed to have
important-sounding names.
Rooney won one of his four
Emmy Awards for a piece on
whether there was a real Mrs.
Smith who made Mrs. Smiths
Pies. As it turned out, there was
no Mrs. Smith.
Looking for something new to
punctuate its weekly broadcast,
60 Minutes aired its first Roo-
ney commentary on
July 2, 1978. He
complained about
people who keep
track of how many
people die in car ac-
cidents on holiday
weekends. In fact,
he said, the Fourth
of July is one of the
safest weekends of
the year to be going someplace.
More than three decades lat-
er, he was railing about how un-
pleasant air travel had become.
Lets make a statement to the
airlines just to get their atten-
tion, he said. Well pick a week
next year and well all agree not
to go anywhere for seven days.
Words cannot adequately ex-
press Andys contribution to the
world of journalism and the im-
pact he made as a colleague
and a friend upon everybody
at CBS, said Leslie Moonves,
CBS Corp. president and CEO.
For his final essay, Rooney
said that hed live a life luckier
than most.
I wish I could do this forever.
I cant, though, he said.
He said he probably hadnt
said anything on 60 Minutes
that most of his viewers didnt
already know or hadnt thought.
He became such a part of the
culture that comic Joe Piscopo
satirized Rooneys squeaky
voice with the refrain, Did you
ever wonder ... Rooney never
started any of his essays that
way. For many years, 60 Min-
utes improbably was the most
popular program on television
and a dose of Rooney was what
people came to expect for a
knowing smile on the night be-
fore they had to go back to
work.

sponse will be, And with
your spirit. And so will
begin a small revolution
in a tradition-rich faith.
At the end of the
month, parishes in En-
glish-speaking countries
will begin to use a new
translation of the Roman
Missal, the ritual text of
prayers and instructions
for celebrating Mass. In-
ternational committees
of specialists worked un-
der a Vatican directive to hew
close to the Latin, sparking often
bitter protests by English speak-
ers over phrasing and readability.
After years of revisions negotiat-
ed by bishops conferences and
the Holy See, dioceses are pre-
paring anxious clergy and parish-
ioners for the rollout, one of the
biggest changes in Catholic wor-
ship in generations.
Were tinkering with a very in-
timate and personal moment,
said the Rev. Richard Hilgartner,
executive director of the worship
office for the U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops. Its public
worship, its the churchs official
public prayer, but for the individ-
ual faithful, its one of the pri-
mary means of their encounter
with the Lord.
The biggest challenge will be
for priests, who must learn intri-
cate new speaking parts often
late in their years of ser-
vice to the church. At
an Archdiocese of Ne-
wark training at St. Pe-
ter the Apostle Church
in River Edge, many
clergy had just received
a final published copy
of the Missal, a thick
hardcover bound in
red, accompanied by an
equally dense study
guide. Earlier drafts
had been available for
orientation sessions
that have been ongoing
for months nationwide.
Many clergy are upset by the
newlanguage, calling it awkward
and hard to understand. The Rev.
Tom Iwanowski, pastor of St. Jo-
seph Roman Catholic Church in
Oradell and New Milford, N.J.,
turned to the section of the new
missal that calls funeral rites,
the fraternal offices of burial.
Howcan I say those words? It
doesnt make sense, said Iwa-
nowski, who has been a priest for
36 years. It separates religion
from real life.
In the new translation, in the
Nicene Creed, the phrase one in
Being with the Father, will
change to consubstantial with
the Father. When a priest prays
over the Holy Communion bread
and wine, he will ask God for
blessings by sending down your
spirit upon them like the dew-
fall.
The new missal grew out of
changes in liturgy that started
with the Second Vatican Council,
the 1960s meetings on moderniz-
ing the church that permitted
Mass in local languages instead
of Latin. Bishops in English-
speaking countries created the
International Commission on
English in the Liturgy to under-
take the translation. The panel
produced a missal by 1973, but
that version was considered tem-
porary until better texts could be
completed. As the commission
worked to make the Mass more
familiar in idiomatic English,
some of the language strayed
from the Latin. Also in some
cases, the commission sought to
use language that would be gen-
der neutral.
The work took a newdirection
in 2001, when the Vatican office
in charge of worship issued the
directive Liturgiam Authenti-
cam, or Authentic Liturgy, which
required translations closer to
the Latin. The Vatican also ap-
pointed another committee, Vox
Clara, or Clear Voice, to oversee
the English translation, drawing
complaints fromsome clergy and
liturgists that the Vatican was
controlling what should be a
more consultative process. (Car-
dinal George Pell, the Sydney,
Australia, archbishop and chair-
man of Vox Clara, has called the
complaints baseless and ideolog-
ically driven.)
The Rev. Anthony Ruff, a Bene-
dictine monk and theology pro-
fessor at St. Johns University in
Minnesota, said he was removed
last year as head of the music
panel of the international trans-
lating commission because of
criticisms he posted on his blog.
In an open letter to U.S. bishops
published in the Jesuit magazine
America, Ruff cancelled his plans
to speak on the text to diocesan
priests because, I cannot pro-
mote the new missal translation
with integrity.
In South Africa, church offi-
cials accidentally introduced
much of the new text in parishes
ahead of schedule in late 2008,
generating similar complaints
about ponderous language, al-
though church officials now say
most parishioners have adapted.
Jeffrey Tucker, a lay musician
at St. Michael the Archangel Ca-
tholic Church in Auburn, Ala.,
said he also had concerns about
howthe translation was handled.
Still, he said he found the new
missal extraordinary. The text
and music are truly integrated
for the first time since the chang-
es from the Second Vatican
Council, Tucker said. He has
been introducing the new text to
lay people and church leaders in
recent months, andhas foundthe
reaction to mostly be, Oh,
wow.
The language is more accu-
rate, but that is the most boring
thing you can say about it. The
more important thing about the
language is that its beautiful,
saidTucker who is managing edi-
tor of Sacred Music, the journal
of the Church Music Association
of America. Hardly anything ev-
er good comes out of a commit-
tee. This time it did.
Parishes around the United
States have spent the summer
trying to prepare church mem-
bers for whats ahead. Priests
have been discussing the chang-
es in homilies, in notices in par-
ish bulletins, and in workshops
and webinars. Many clergy plan
to use poster-sized laminated cue
cards for parishioners.
REL I GI ON At the end of the month, parishes in English-speaking countries will begin to use a new translation of the Roman Missal

WILKES-BARRE Music and
food were served up Saturday in
an effort to aid victims of the
flood of 2011.
Making a Difference Minis-
tries held a benefit concert at Ge-
nettis Hotel & Conference Cen-
ter with all proceeds going to the
Salvation Army of Wilkes-Barre
and the Wyoming Valley Chapter
of the American Red Cross.
All money collected was divid-
ed evenly between the two local
causes that have had such a pro-
found effect on the
lives of those affected
by the September
flood.
The idea for the ben-
efit concert was spear-
headed by Steve Peril-
lo, president and co-
founder of Making a
Difference Ministries,
and Genettis owner
Gus Genetti. Perillo
spoke of the area busi-
nessmans generosity
in donating the use of
his ballroom for the
event.
Gus had a great re-
sponse and was happy
to help out, he said.

A Christian pop-rock group,
WatersEdge features twins Josh-
uaandCalebFritzalongwithper-
cussionist Emmanuel Graham.
Choose This Day formed five
years ago in Dickson City, and
when Perillo asked the band to
perform in Wilkes-Barre, the
group didnt need much time to
decide.
It took us two seconds, said
singer/keyboard player Sue Yur-
canin. From the time it took to
listen to the phone call, we were
in.
Perillo, a singer/songwriter
himself, knows what it takes to
reach people through song.
We reach people through mu-
sic. This opportunity gives every-
body the chance to come into
contact with other Christians.
And even if theyre not Chris-
tians, he said. Its just whole-
some music.
Making a Difference Minis-
tries is a nonprofit ministry that
focuses ontheneeds of thehome-
less and those spiritually dis-
tressed.
Perilloknows howdifficult it is
to be face-to-face with adversity.
He andhis wife, Gail, hadgone
throughtoughtimes of their own
in dealing with illnesses
and Steves sudden loss
of employment. But
through music and with
each others support,
they found a way to stay
the course.
Through their com-
bined efforts they have
personally gathered
countless items for flood
victims.
In addition to the mu-
sicians and members of
the Genettis staff who
donated their time, more
than 15 local businesses
contributed.
Gift cards were donat-
ed by Grotto Pizza, Price Chop-
per, Kevins Restaurant, Stanton
Lanes, Theos Metro, Bo Broth-
ers, Tommys Pizza Corner,
Country Ski & Sports and Phoe-
nix Rehabilitation. Jack Williams
Tire & Auto, Kost Mufflers and

that can be used for automobile
repairs, and Rainbow Jewelers

And perhaps the item most
likelytohelpa familyinneedwas
a quartz heater donated by Bei-
ters Home Center of Wilkes-
Barre.
All of the items were raffled off
to benefit the local charities.
You know its going to the
right people, said Wilkes-Barre
resident June Littleford.

ple like this that do such helpful
things.

WILKES-BARRE Renee Ge-
orge smiled broadly on Satur-
day afternoon when she heard
the word Mommy! spoken by
one of her four adopted chil-
dren.
George was participating in
an adoption celebration of the
Childrens Service Center adop-
tion department, which encom-
passes the whole spectrum of
the process, from pre-adoption
to adoption and follow-up with
families.
The room at the service cen-
ter on South Franklin Street
was filled with the happy faces
of children, families and staff
members.
Although Ive only worked
for the department for seven
months, said Becky Rupell,
CSS staff member, I am im-
pressed by the spirit in which
the adoption work is accom-
plished.
Carol Ann Leco, clinical di-
rector, wholeheartedly agreed
with her, stressing the quality of
the staff and adoptive families
associated with the program.
We are growing rapidly,
said Leco, adding that the CSS
adoption program started in
2002 with one employee and
now employs five full-time staff-
ers.
Marian Kolcun, who heads
the Older Child Matching Initia-
tive, or OCMI, also stressed
how important successful adop-
tion is to the child, the adoptive
family and the community. Kol-
cun said data show that those
children who are successfully
adopted tend to improve in re-
gard to school performance,
emotional well-being, and long-
term productivity.
Amanda Sevison, also a CSS
employee, and head of the Wen-
dys Wonderful Kids program,
said her job was to place chil-
dren with special needs. The
grant supporting this program
is received through the Dave
Thomas Foundation and helps
to ensure that children who
might be difficult to place have
additional support in regard to
adoption.
Our special-needs program
does not simply address chil-
dren with disabilities, said Se-
vison, but also those who
might be older or siblings who
wish to remain together.
Sevison emphasized that
members of the adoption staff
have different roles in regard to
the demographic of children
they are supporting, but they all
work together as a team.
Roberta Daniels was also pre-
sent to answer questions and
support adoptive families. She
represented the Statewide
Adoption Network. Daniels said
the focus of that network is to
bring together county agencies
and affiliates so that those chil-
dren who are eligible for adop-
tion can be matched with ap-
propriate families.
Daniels said she worked with
families in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania and lauded the efforts
of affiliates throughout the area,
including Childrens Service
Center.
Stan Dorrance, director of the
Adoption Program at CSS, en-
thusiastically moved through
the room greeting attendees.
Dorrance expressed great re-
spect and gratitude for adoptive
families and those in the proc-
ess of adoption.
Those who are interested in
adoption or who have questions
about the various programs
may contact the department at
825-6425, extension 316, or ac-
cess the website at
www.cscwv.org.

WILKES-BARRE Maria Ro-
sados eyes welled up as she re-
calledthelivesof familymembers
who diedof AIDScomplications.
It makes me sad, but Im pay-
ingtributetothem, andIfeel good
about that, she said Saturday as
shewalkedaroundthelocal AIDS
Memorial Quilt at the Wyoming
Valley Chapter of the American
RedCross.
Rosado, of Kingston, along
withother members of theNorth-
eastern Regional HIV Planning
Coalition, stitched together
eight, 3-foot-by-6-foot. panels of
fabric to form a 12-foot-square
block. Each panel represents a
loved one who
has died from
the disease.
When fin-
ished, the quilt
will be connect-
edtootherAIDS
Memorial
Quilts from the
Atlanta area and
be displayed at
Luzerne County
Community
College onDec. 1-3.
Rosados husband, Manuel, a
Vietnamveteran, died of AIDS in
1995. Inthecenter of thepanel isa
photograph of Manuel in his Ar-
my uniform.
Her brother, Rafael Mercado,
cousins Evelyn, Freddy and Ra-
mon Mercado, as well as friend
Jack Vega, all have panels com-
memorating their lives.
Founded in 1987, The Names
Project AIDS Memorial Quilt is
thelargest communityart project
in the world. The quilt celebrates
lives of people who died of AIDS-
relatedcauses.
Currently, thequilt is1,293,300
square feet, weighs more than 54
tons, and contains more than
91,000 names. To see the entire
quilt whileviewingeachpanel for
one minute would take over 33
days, according to the AIDS Me-
morial Quilt website.
I feel so good about this pro-
ject, said Rosado. Although she
hopes the quilt will someday join
together with the main quilt
which travels around the world,
she hopes to keep it local for a
while.
I put alot of loveandeffort into
this, she said. I want everybody
to see it andfeel it.

ing issues where their stances
significantly differ, said Wilkes
University political science pro-
fessor TomBaldino.
Sosar expects some voters to
arrive at the polls carrying a list
of candidates theyre going to
choose based on their own re-
search or recommendations
fromendorsements.
Keystone College associate
professor of political science Jeff
Brauer, BaldinoandSosar all ex-
pect a significant number of vot-
ers to pick one or a few candi-
dates insteadof all 11.
There were about 203,600
under votes inthe Democratic
county council race and127,900
on the Republican side in the
May primaries.
County Election Bureau Di-
rector Leonard Piazza said an
under voteis talliedwhenvoters
dont select thefull number of al-
lowablecandidates inarace. For
example, 10 under votes are re-
corded if someone chose only
one candidate in the county
council race.
While some voters may not
have the time or interest to re-
searchtheir picks for all 11seats,
some take the advice of candi-
dateswhomayencouragevoters
tobullet vote themandnooth-
ers.
Baldino illustrated the power
of this technique by describinga
voter who strongly supports
four candidates.
Bygivingavotetoonlythose
four, youre increasing the likeli-
hood that those four will win by
not casting votes for others who
could beat those four that you
want, Baldino said.
Some straight-party voting is
also expected by all three analy-
stsanoptionthat wasnot avail-
able inthe May primaries.
There are 188,591 people reg-
istered to vote in the county
109,478 Democrats, 61,809 Re-
publicans and 17,304 Independ-
ent andthird-party.
Piazza said turnout will be
about 35 percent based on past
municipal general elections,
thoughguessingisputtingyour
finger inthewind becauselocal
races could generate more inter-
est.
Brauer said hardcore voters
will showup, and many of them
have no problem pushing the
straight-party button.
Thoughtheydontcondoneit,
the analysts expect some voters
to show up and randomly pick
candidates without research.
This is more likely withthe elec-
tronic voting machines because
voters must view the screen of
council candidates toadvanceto
the next page of the ballot and
eventually cast a vote, Sosar
said.
Baldinoexpectsclosemargins
separating winners, particularly
in the last fewcouncil slots. The
topsixvote-getters will servefor
four years, while the remaining
five will have two-year terms.
Withavoter turnout of 35per-
cent to 40 percent, a candidate
could land a seat with as few as
5,000 votes, he said. He doesnt

stunned when he heard those
numbers. Not because there was
so much fighting going on in his
school, but because there wasnt.
Its not possible, Bilbowsaid,
noting the school typically sees
about a half dozenfights ina year.
After researchingtheissue, Bil-
bowsaid the error appeared to be
one of misclassification. Argu-
ments had been entered as
fights when data was sent to
the state.
Ill give you a perfect exam-
ple, Bilbow said Friday, citing a
discipline report filed that day by
a teacher as a fight. The report
said two boys were arguing in
class and it almost became phys-
ical.
The teacher filed the report
electronically through a comput-
er system called Skyward. Those
numbers are then forwarded to
the state to be compiled into the
School Safety Report. If the
building administration doesnt
review the data and change the
classification to something more
accurate minor altercation or
disorderly conduct, say it will
end up in the final state report as
a fight.
Bilbow said his staff reviewed
the 2010-11discipline reports and
determined about two-thirds of
those 28 fights were misclassi-
fied.
Low counts in Hazleton
In Hazleton Area, the opposite
seemed to happen. The district
Luzerne Countys largest offi-
cially reported only three inci-
dents of fighting in 2006-07; in
2010-11, it was 30. Upon hearing
the numbers, Acting Superin-
tendent Francis X. Antonelli
voiced surprise at the lownum-
ber from five years ago. In a dis-
trict that had 10,000 students at
the time, such a low count
seemed improbable.
Antonelli speculated as did
Pittston Area Superintendent
George Cosgrove that changes
in how the data were reported
and compiled may have led to
such big discrepancies.
The state switched to a web-
basedfiling systeminthe last few
years, mandatingthat all districts
adopt a digital Personal Infor-
mation Management System, or
PIMS, for student data.
Teachers and administrators
now file much information elec-
tronically that previously went
on paper. Bilbow noted this in-
creases the odds that information
will gofromteacher tostate with-
out being reviewed by adminis-
trators.
The state also expanded the
types of incidents in the reports,
adding nuance with categories
such as minor altercation and
open lewdness. In all, there
were 43 types of incidents listed
in the 2007-08 reports; in 2010-11,
there were 51.
Still, administrators particu-
larly in the largest local districts,
such as Hazleton Area and
Wilkes-Barre Area acknowl-
edge the difficulty inmaintaining
order as their student popula-
tions become more diverse. Both
districts have security directors
and place resource officers po-
lice in their high schools.
Antonelli said Hazleton Area
has an agreement with state po-
lice that puts a trooper on the
campus housing the high school,
ninth-grade center and career
and technology center three
buildings that contain nearly
3,500 students. Thats more
than many small, liberal arts col-
lege campuses, he noted.
The district has a second re-
tired police officer hired full time
as a resource officer with full ar-
rest powers, and an unarmed se-
curity force of 20. If the increases
in fighting reported in state data
are accurate, we have measures
in place to deal with them appro-
priately and promptly, Antonelli
said.
Police in W-B Area
Wilkes-Barre Area also has full-
time police officers in its three
high schools. Superintendent
Jeff Namey said that might be
one reason the district has not
seen a spike in fighting incidents.
There were five reported inci-
dents in 2006-07 and 13 in 2010-
11.
We have some issues, espe-
cially now with the diversity of
students. Sometimes groups go
after one another. Were dealing
with that, Namey said. I really
believe having officers in the
three high schools helps.

VETERANS
WILKES-BARRE The spirit
of the 1960s filled the F.M. Kirby
Center for the Performing Arts
on Saturday as two of that dec-
ades biggest hit mak-
ers banded together
for more than two
hours of solid-gold
rock n roll.
Tommy James,
who first came to
prominence with his
group the Shondells in 1966,
headlined the showwith his arse-
nal of hits. FellowMichigan rock-
er Mitch Ryder, the former lead-
er of the Detroit Wheels who
first hit the charts in 1965,
opened with an equally impres-
sive, powerful hour of his own.
Ryder, now 66, still wails like a
man one-third his age and
wowed the crowd with his soul-
ful renditions of the hits that
made him famous, starting off
with Little Latin Lupe Lu, fol-
lowed quickly by Sock It To Me-
Baby!
Ryder displayed an easygoing
repartee with the crowd through-
out his set, telling stories about
the good old days, like hanging
out with Jimi Hendrix on off
nights in New York City and
playing drums one
evening with Otis
Redding.
For those of
you old enough to
remember, you can
see I am not the
whirling dervish I
once was, he joked, referring to
his new titanium hips. But his
voice has held up nicely, as evi-
denced by his still highly ener-
getic versions of Jenny Take a
Ride and his signature song
Devil with the Blue Dress On/
Good Golly, Miss Molly.
Other highlights included his
1983 comeback hit, When You
Were Mine (written by Prince
and produced by John Mellen-
camp), new song The Promise
and a piano-fueled rendition of
Chuck Berrys You Never Can
Tell.
James, now 64 and still sport-
ing shoulder-length hair, then
treated the small but apprecia-
tive crowd to hit after hit, start-
ing off with his big solo tune
Draggin The Line, followed
quickly by Crystal Blue Persua-
sion.
Early highlights included
Gettin Together, Tighter and
Tighter, the song he wrote for
Alive and Kicking, and a goose-
bump inducing version of Crim-
son and Clover, which brought
the crowd to its feet.
He then followed up with high-
energy performances of his first
hit, Hanky Panky, I Think
Were Alone Now and Mony,
Mony.
After a short exit, he came
back on stage with Sweet Cher-
ry Wine.
The next concert at the Kirby
Center is Joe Nardones Doo
Wop, Volume 3 on Friday featur-
ing Jay Siegal & The Tokens,
The Dubs, La La Brooks, Larry
Chance & The Earls and Kenny
Vance & The Planotones. The
show was originally scheduled
for Sept. 11 but postponed due to
the September flooding; tickets
for the original date will be hon-
ored.

other bump in unemployment,
rising gas and commodity prices,
and low consumer confidence,
said Bonnie Riggs, restaurant in-
dustry analyst for The NPD
Group. The confidence they had
in the latter part of last year and
the beginning of this year was
eroded by bad economic news.
But even with the high unem-
ployment rate locally, Macario
soldiers on, doing some of the
cooking, cleaning, bartending
and waiting.
She said the restaurant busi-
ness is not for the faint of heart
and has only gotten worse in re-
cent years.
Its very hard. The competi-
tion is great, Macario said.
Macario said the business
home-cooked meals based on
family recipes, long standing in
the community and word of
mouth advertising have kept it
afloat.
Theres no frills, she said.
Labor and loyalty
Linda Prutzman and her hus-
band, Wayne, purchased Dukeys
Caf on North Pennsylvania Ave-
nue in Wilkes-Barre in 2001.
She said the restaurant, which
was opened by Pete and Stella
Tirpak five decades ago, seemed
like a great opportunity for the
couple who each had a back-
ground in the business. They op-
erated the Cross Valley Restau-
rant in Plains Township for years.
Linda Prutzman said she has
learned over the years that in ad-
dition to great food, competitive
prices andafriendlystaff, theway
tokeepcustomers comingbackis
creating an atmosphere in which
they feel like theyre family.
Its all about loyalty, Prutz-
mansaid. Thats howsmall busi-
nesses survive.
But she said competing with
chain restaurants is getting
tougher and tougher.
The chains absolutelyhurt be-
causetheycandoalot of advertis-
ing, Prutzman said.
While chain restaurants blitz
the television and radio airwaves
with their latest specials, such as
all-you-can-eat shrimp, never-
ending pasta and two-can-eat-for-
$20 deals, smaller independently
owned family eateries survive by
other means.
With not-so-deep pockets, they
use word-of-mouth advertising,
rely on the next generation of
longtime customers to keep visit-
ing for that once a week meal and
the we know your name envi-
ronment that makes all feel wel-
come.
We try to go out of our way to
compete in this economy, Prutz-
man said. While she has seen a
drop in business the past few
years, she said loyal customers
are still patronizing Dukeys
maybe just not as frequently as
they used to.
Other local eateries have also
been able to survive for years
with the same recipe of good
food, good portions and regular
customers.
You come in here on a Satur-
daynight andits thesamepeople
sitting at the same table eating
the same thing, said Jessica
King, whose great-grandparents
established Andy Peruginos res-
taurant in Luzerne more than 70
years ago.
She said the regions neighbor-
hood dining spots have succeed-
ed for so long because of loyalty.
She said 75 to 80 percent of Peru-
ginos diners are regulars, and
while some eateries, including
the chains, have reported slump-
ing sales in recent years, Perugi-
nos has bucked that trend.
King said a new emphasis on
advertising is likely the reason.
She said her late father, Ronald
Reilly Sr., was old school.
He always believed in word of
mouth, word of mouth, King
said. But recently, the restaurant
started advertising to try to at-
tract a younger crowd, King
said, adding that it has worked.
Busy enough now
Jim Schonfeld, on the other
hand, has stopped advertising for
his restaurant, Martys Blue
Room in Newport Township. At
age 55, and consistently working
12 hours a day or longer, Schon-
feld said, I dont want to be any
busier.
For 28 years he has been mak-
inghomemadesoupandsausage,
cutting his own beef into steaks
and making sure customers walk
out stuffed and satisfied.
He said the chain restaurants
have some good qualities, but for
themost part theyrealot of glitz
and glamour.
But they have corporate back-
ing, national advertising cam-
paigns and the ability to have a
presence across the nation so
people moving or visiting often
tend to eat at a familiar place.
But, he said, for those who know,
the family-run restaurant is the
place to eat.
Marilyn and John Corcoran, of
Plains Township, have been eat-
ing at Dominicks Caf in the
townships Hudson section for 40
years.
Its like going to Cheers, Ma-
rilyn said. Her husband said ev-
erybody in there makes you feel
like family. Youre always wel-
comed.
Macario and Prutzman said
smaller restaurants trying to
start up today have myriad chal-
lenges, and though they wish
newrestaurant owners well, they
say toooftenthose entrepreneurs
have no idea what theyre getting
themselves into.
They think were a mint,
Prutzman said.
But most restaurants arent
profitable at first and even after
establishing their brand, its no
gold mine.
Macario said if someone were
to ask her for guidance about
starting a newrestaurant, Id tell
them theyre crazy.
Prutzman said the same. And
while she wishes she didnt have
to offer that negative advice,
thats just the reality of things.
Were a dying breed, Prutz-
man said.
In recent years, other family-
run eateries in Luzerne County
that have closed include Lowes
in Wilkes-Barre, Bennys in Ash-
ley, Byoreks Knotty Pine Restau-
rant inHazleTownship, Hart Res-
taurant in Wilkes-Barre, and the
Mark II, which had locations in
Wilkes-Barre, Dallas Township,
Wilkes-Barre Township and Ed-
wardsville.

THE controversy over
reported sexual ha-
rassment allegations
against Herman Cain
seems likely to affect
the race within the
Republican Partys
presidential contest
among conservative contenders seek-
ing to become the main alternative to
Mitt Romney.
And despite Rick Perrys poor de-
bate performances and sinking poll
numbers, any damage to Cain may
open a path for the Texas governor to
re-emerge as the former Massachu-
setts governors top rival.
Perrys political and financial re-
sources position him better than the
other conservatives competing for the
50 percent of Republicans who most
polls show are opposed to Romney.
Hes increasingly comfortable cam-
paigning, judging from last Fridays
relaxed New Hampshire speech that
attracted skeptical out-of-state web
and television coverage but led to a
standing ovation from his audience.
Perrys long-term potential stems
from underlying Republican attitudes
and the way GOP primaries and cau-
cuses are likely to unfold in January.
The two most recent major polls
a national CBS News-New York Times
survey and The Des Moines Registers
Iowa Poll illustrate the current
GOP situation.
Romney, who generally polls in the
20s nationally, but higher in New
Hampshire, had 21 percent in the
CBS-Times survey and 22 percent in
Iowa. Texas Rep. Ron Pauls support
has remained roughly stable; he had 8
percent nationally and 12 percent in
Iowa.
Meanwhile, the five main aspirants
for support from hard-core GOP con-
servatives evangelical Christians
and tea party activists totaled 50
percent in Iowa and 45 percent nation-
ally.
How that vote divides will be cru-
cial. So far, it has favored different
candidates at different times: Minneso-
ta Rep. Michele Bachmann last June,
Perry in August and now Cain, who
leads Iowa with 23 percent and nation-
ally with 25 percent. (Both polls are
subject to error margins of 5 points,
but the underlying pattern has been
consistent.)
Significantly, both surveys showed
many Republicans only weakly com-
mitted. In Iowa, three-fourths said
they might change by the Jan. 3 cau-
cuses, and their other responses sug-
gested any changes would help anoth-
er conservative, not Romney. He vied
with Bachmann as the most disliked
candidate, while more than half of
respondents said a candidate from the
partys conservative core could win the
presidency.
Though Cain vigorously denied the
harassment allegations, reported by
Politico and confirmed by other news
organizations, that controversy plus
skepticism about his 9-9-9 tax plan
may damage the businessman, who in
many ways represents none of the
above candidates. And it raises the
question of where any defectors would
go.
As Perry refocuses efforts and be-
gins an intensive early-state media
campaign, his money and institutional
party support position him best to
benefit over the long run, though
strong performances in upcoming
debates would help by producing more
favorable media assessments.
With Bachmanns apparent collapse,
Perrys main rivals besides Cain are
former House Speaker Newt Gingrich,
whose support has remained static in
Iowa despite strong debate perform-
ances, and the under-funded former
Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum,
who this week completes visits to all
99 Iowa counties.
Continued conservative divisions
may enable Romney to finish first in
Iowa, where the poll showed one-third
of likely voters want a more moderate
candidate with appeal to independ-
ents. He remains strongly favored in
New Hampshire, where he has a vaca-
tion home.
In Democratic races, winning both
states has proved decisive. But among

My selfish actions caused me to
be in this place, and the only way
I could legally and morally atone
for this was to cooperate.
Robert Powell
The former Drums resident and ex-attorney at the
center of Luzerne Countys kids-for-cash scandal submitted a letter
to federal court in anticipation of his sentencing Friday. In it, he
apologized to family members, friends, coworkers, clients and county
residents. Powell is set to report to prison on Nov. 30.
CALL ME crazy, but I hap-
pen to be one of those
flinty-eyed conservatives
who appreciates the leftist
verve of the Occupy Chica-
go protesters.
I loved the tea party
protesters for the same reason I get a kick
out of the occupiers. They dont sit glassy-
eyed in front of the TV, waiting to be told
what to think. And they drive the establish-
ment crazy.
And both groups know that scoundrels
are running their government, and that
sleek corporatists and politicians in both
parties have been in league against them,
bailing out Wall Street and accepting Wall
Street political cash while the little guy
drowns.
Someday, will both groups occupiers
and tea partiers realize we have enough
common ground to join together as liber-
tarians and bend the nation to our collective
will?
No, said my friend of the left, Jerry
Vasilatos, 45, a freelance filmmaker who
wants to tax the rich. But nice try. Weve
got to hold the 1 percent with all the wealth
and make them accountable.
OK, some of the Occupy Chicago folks
might be young, and like their Occupy Wall
Street brothers and sisters in other cities,
many of them mistakenly believe that Amer-
ica can tax its way back to economic vitality.
But where else would you see protest
signs like this?
Jerry Reinsdorf is a Welfare Queen!
That one was carried on LaSalle Street on
Friday by George Tiller, an unemployed
teacher.
Tiller told me that he was inspired by
reading a column in the Chicago Tribune
ridiculing a sweetheart government deal
that allows White Sox boss Reinsdorf to
keep all the profits from a stadium restau-
rant built by taxpayers. Thats exactly the
kind of corporate welfare that drives us
crazy, he said.
Bedeviling business people who gush on
about the importance of free markets until
they can grab a government subsidy isnt a
bad way to spend the afternoon.
It would be nicer if they actually had
some kind of focus, said Johanna Malmud,
a 30-year-old options trader. Just then the
protesters began thumping drums and
shouting again and making random speech-
es.
The occupiers dont seem to have a trade,
unless community organizing is a trade, and
I think it is. But they do have needs, like a
place to live while theyre occupying Chica-
go. So theyve petitioned Mayor Rahm Ema-
nuel, asking that he give them a home.
And, they want a permanent settlement in
Grant Park. Through proxies, the Rahmfa-
ther wisely said no.
Hes not 100 percent right here. Amer-
icans should not have to ask permission
from government to protest the govern-
ment. They should be free to protest on
public lands and squares and streets,
But the mayor is right to deny them a
permanent campsite. If he gives in, you
know what will happen. Soon, youll see
acres and acres of Grant Park devolve into a
muddy shantytown, thousands of plywood
huts and roofs of tarp and orange crates.
Hobo fires with pots of watery stew on tri-
pods.
Meanwhile, some professor of Keynesian
economics plays a guitar, and other Keyne-
sians blow on harmonicas and kazoos, sing-
ing Woody Guthrie-style songs about spend-
ing more government cash, as the throngs
huddle in the snow and begin to hum.
Come to think of it, that singing part in
the snow doesnt sound all that bad. So Ive
decided to change my mind.
Im now all for an encampment.
Just as long as the anti-Wall Street orga-
nizers put up a big sign and name their
Chicago shantytown after the one politician
who has accepted the most Wall Street
political donations, millions and millions
more than any of his opponents.
And what would we call it?
Obamaville.
Occupiers, tea partiers have some things in common

COMMENTARY
J O H N K A S S
THE UNITED Nations has
identified Monday as the day
world population hit 7 bil-
lion. Many found the Hallo-
ween date appropriate given
the frightening prospect of
this demographic milestone.
As if 7 billion werent scary enough, the
United Nations projects 10 billion people by
2083, the addition of roughly three more
Indias.
But the parents of the 7-billionth person
should not be afraid for their childs future. In
spite of the daunting challenges facing the
world, including global warming, rising food
prices and a billion people in poverty, the
7-billionth child will almost surely have a
better life than the 3-billionth or 6-billionth
child.
How will the world cope with this many
people? Consider what the world looked like
in1960, when the population hit 3 billion.
Falling infant and child mortality caused
population growth rates to surpass 2 percent
per year in the 1960s, probably for the first
time in history. At 2 percent growth, the
world would double in 35 years, and that is
roughly what happened world population
grew to 6 billion in1999.
World population will not come close to
doubling again in 39 years. Indeed, it might
never double again. Fertility has fallen rapidly,
with many developing countries at or near the
replacement fertility rate of 2.1. The worlds
population growth rate has been falling since
its peak in the 1960s, and we might never get
much above the 10.1 billion people projected
for 2100.
So weve just been through the fastest pop-
ulation growth the world will ever see. Its a
good time to look back and see how the world
survived it.
There were gloomy predictions in the 1960s
about the consequences of rapid population
growth, the most famous appearing in Paul
Ehrlichs 1968 book, The Population Bomb.
He wrote that the battle to feed humanity is
already lost, in the sense that we will not be
able to prevent large-scale famines in the next
decade.
Happily, Ehrlich was wrong. World food
production grew faster than population dur-
ing the last 50 years. Food production per
person in 2009 was 41 percent higher than in
1961.
Although there are still serious problems
with food distribution and malnutrition, we
have done remarkably well at feeding the
extra 4 billion people added since 1960. This
should make us optimistic about feeding the 3
billion more to be added in the next 70 years.
The 7-billionth child also will be better
educated than a child born in1960. Big in-
creases in education in the developing world
are one of the most impressive accomplish-
ments of the last 50 years, especially given
unprecedented growth of school-age pop-
ulations.
The probability that a child will grow up in
poverty has been going down. For developing
countries as a whole, the percentage living
below the World Banks $1.25-per-day poverty
line fell from 50 percent in1981 to 25 percent
in 2005. Indias poverty rate fell from 60 per-
cent in1981 to 42 percent in 2005 and can be
expected to keep falling.
Not all countries have done as well as India.
But even in sub-Saharan Africa, the region
with the poorest economic performance,
poverty rates have fallen, education has in-
creased and food production per person has
been rising (albeit slowly) since the 1980s.
None of this is meant to deny the enor-
mous challenges we face. We survived the
population bomb through hard work and
creativity, and we will need more of it to
continue to feed the world and reduce pover-
ty. But the remarkable experience of the last
50 years teaches us that we should not be
afraid to celebrate the birth of the 7-billionth
child.
Feeding 7 billion a challenge, but not the Apocalypse

Obama was a
principled
opponent of
the Iraq War
from its begin-
ning. But
when he be-
came president in January
2009, he was handed a war that
was won. The surge had suc-
ceeded.
Al-Qaida in Iraq had been
routed, driven to humiliating
defeat by an Anbar Awakening
of Sunnis fighting side-by-side
with the infidel Americans.
Even more remarkably, the
Shiite militias had been taken
down, with American backing,
by the forces of Shiite Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki. They
crushed the Sadr militias from
Basra to Sadr City.
Al-Qaida decimated. A Shiite
prime minister taking a deci-
sively nationalist line. Iraqi
Sunnis ready to integrate into a
new national government. U.S.
casualties at their lowest ebb in
the entire war. Elections ap-
proaching. Obama was left with
but a single task: Negotiate a
new status-of-forces agreement
to reinforce these gains and
create a strategic partnership
with the Arab worlds only
democracy.
He blew it. Negotiations,
such as they were, finally col-
lapsed last month. There is no
agreement, no partnership. As
of Dec. 31, the American mil-
itary presence in Iraq will be
liquidated.
And its not as if that deadline
snuck up on Obama. He had
three years to prepare for it.
Everyone involved, Iraqi and
American, knew that the 2008
agreement calling for full U.S.
withdrawal was meant to be
renegotiated. And all major
parties but one (the Sadr fac-
tion) had an interest in some
residual stabilizing U.S. force,
like the postwar deployments in
Japan, Germany and Korea.
Three years, two abject fail-
ures. The first was the adminis-
trations inability, at the height
of American post-surge power,
to broker a centrist nationalist
coalition governed by the major
blocs one predominantly
Shiite (Malikis), one predom-
inantly Sunni (Ayad Allawis),
one Kurdish that among them
won a large majority (69 per-
cent) of seats in the 2010 elec-
tion.
Vice President Joe Biden was
given the job. He failed utterly.
The government ended up
effectively being run by a nar-
row sectarian coalition where
the balance of power is held by
the relatively small (12 percent)
Iranian-client Sadr faction.
The second failure was the
agreement itself. The military
recommended nearly 20,000
troops, considerably fewer than
our 28,500 in Korea, 40,000 in
Japan and 54,000 in Germany.
The president rejected those
proposals, choosing instead a
level of 3,000 to 5,000 troops.
A deployment so risibly small
would have to expend all its
energies simply protecting itself
the fate of our tragic, mis-
sionless 1982 Lebanon deploy-
ment with no real capability
to train the Iraqis, build their
U.S.-equipped air force, mediate
ethnic disputes (as we have
successfully done, for example,
between local Arabs and
Kurds), operate surveillance
and special-ops bases, and
establish the kind of close mil-
itary-to-military relations that
undergird our strongest alli-
ances.
The Obama proposal was an
unmistakable signal of unseri-
ousness. It became clear that he
simply wanted out, leaving any
Iraqi foolish enough to maintain
a pro-American orientation
exposed to Iranian influence,
now unopposed and potentially
lethal. Message received. Only
two weeks ago, Massoud Bar-
zani, leader of the Kurds for
two decades the staunchest of
U.S. allies visited Tehran to
bend a knee to both President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It didnt have to be this way.
Our friends did not have to be
left out in the cold to seek Ira-
nian protection. Three years
and a won war had given Oba-
ma the opportunity to establish
a lasting strategic alliance with
the Arab worlds second most
important power.
He failed, though he hardly
tried very hard. The excuse is
Iraqi refusal to grant legal im-
munity to U.S. forces. But the
Bush administration encoun-
tered the same problem, and
overcame it. Obama had little
desire to. Indeed, he portrays
the evacuation as a success, the
fulfillment of a campaign prom-
ise.
But surely the obligation to
defend the security and the
interests of the nation super-
sede personal vindication. Oba-
ma opposed the war, but when
he became commander in chief
the terrible price already had
been paid in blood and treasure.
His obligation was to make
something of that sacrifice, to
secure the strategic gains that
sacrifice already had achieved.
He did not, failing at precise-
ly what this administration so
flatters itself for doing so well:
diplomacy.
U.S. sacrifice in Iraq
was all for nothing

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Aimee Dilger
and words by Mark E. Jones
THE OTHER
day, I came
across a recent
study by the
American
Academy of
Sleep Med-
icine. It found
that insomnia affects about 23
percent of U.S. workers, and it
put the annual national cost for
the sleeping disorder at $63.2
billion.
That night, I lay awake for
hours worrying about all that
wasted money.
OK, I didnt really. But I have
spent countless hours when I
wanted to be asleep fretting
about things far less important.
And I have spent considerable
time reflecting on sleepless-
ness. Here, for the lucky 77
percent of Americans unaffect-
ed by the plague, is a primer on
what the rest of us suffer.
There are, in my experience,
two main types of insomnia.
Type 1: You brush teeth,
crawl into bed and get comfy
with whatever combination of
blanket, pillow, white-noise-
producing fan, dog and spouse
suits you. Then, just like the
other diurnal creatures from
the prairie to the forest, you fall
gently into a sweet, deep sleep
that can last for several hours.
Until ... you turn over to
settle the hip, or cover the foot
or switch the pillow to the cool
side. You order yourself: Do not
think! Do not think! Think
nothing!
But then a tiny, seemingly
harmless thought fragment
slips through, and that single
speck of brain activity mutates
instantly into a cacophony of
ceaseless inner chatter.
Thoughts of things left undone
or unsaid begin their taunt.
Mundane, niggling details
repeat and repeat like acid
reflux. The night is lost.
Type 2: After dragging
through your day, hallucinating
from sleep deprivation, you
yawn through dinner, take the
hot soothing bath, drink the
warm milk, lay the weary head
upon the pillow, close the
bloodshot eyes.
Then, instantly: Pop! The
eyes are open.
You play possum, hold un-
naturally still. But the foot
must twitch. You are too hot,
too cold. There is no comfort-
able position for any part of
body or soul. The dog licks
itself. The spouse snores. You
hate them both. You seethe.
You whimper. If religious, you
wail at the heavens, beseech the
sleep gods. Tears of exhaustion
and frustration seep.
You try the couch but cannot
escape the repeating lyrics of a
bank commercial from your
youth.
You try all the tricks. Mas-
sage the face. Tense and relax
various body parts. Snap on the
light and read til the words
blur, have the shot of whiskey
or the addictive, hangover-
producing magic white pill.
Those of us with the afflic-
tion have tried everything:
melatonin, Benadryl, Sleepy-
time tea, breathing exercises,
ear plugs, quitting coffee, get-
ting more exercise, getting less
exercise, eating earlier, med-
itation, flannel sheets, relaxa-
tion tapes, more sex, less sex.
Sleepers have been known to
suggest that a guilty conscience
must be the culprit. But
thoughts as morality-neutral
and ethics-free as whether or
not to use fabric softener can,
in the dark of night, be urgent
enough to keep the eyes on the
ceiling. There is no concern too
mundane to consider, no minu-
tiae too minute to obsess over.
All is equal in the dark.
You turn over new leaves and
resolve to shake up your life.
You consider firing your agent
and cutting your hair, begin-
ning a diet or moving to Brazil.
Meanwhile, the numbers just
keep sliding past on the digital
alarm clock.
More time passes and you
enter the panic stage, knowing
that if you dont sleep soon,
tomorrow will be shot. Youll be
a zombie. Youll look like hell.
Youll say or do something
wildly inappropriate, humiliate
yourself, the kids, the spouse.
Youll get yourself fired or shot.
Youll cross that tauntingly
close line into utter, irreversible
madness.
Finally comes resignation.
You give up, throw aside the
limp sheet, turn on the comput-
er or paint the kitchen or sit at
the dining room table spooning
in carbs and waiting for the sky
to lighten. Perhaps you then
slump in your chair, sliding into
a brief moment of drooling
unconscious.
And then, good morning! The
day begins.
Many things can aggravate
insomnias symptoms: working,
not working, needing to get up
in the morning, having said or
done something cringe-worthy
earlier in the day, or week or
lifetime. The future can trigger
symptoms, as can the past, as
can having children, a spouse,
parents, siblings, co-workers,
neighbors, friends, acquaint-
ances, relatives or none of the
above. Concerns about en-
croaching global stupidity,
catastrophic weather anoma-
lies, dust bunnies under the
armoire or the inevitability of
death can all set off the dis-
order.
I hope this disturbing treatise
wont keep you awake tonight:
The country cant afford more
insomnia.
Any rest for these weary workers? Dream on.

Angel of a doctor
wins moms thanks
I
t was November 2002 when
I made my first trip to Geis-
inger Medical Center in
Danville to see Dr. Scott
Myers, who more recently was
co-honored with the Angel of
Autism Award.
I was armed with paper-
work about my sons dreaded
diagnosis and a timeline I had
made that mapped out his life
since the day he was diag-
nosed. The timeline showed a
clear regression of previously
mastered skills. My once gen-
tle little guy was now getting
up in the middle of the night,
ripping up carpet from the
floor, trying to escape out the
windows and destroying ev-
erything that came across his
path. The school was calling
constantly; I was missing
work. No one in the house was
sleeping. I was literally at my
wits end.
From the second I walked
into his clinic, I knew we were
in the right place. It was not
only an atmosphere of com-
passion, but also of hope. I
immediately was struck by Dr.
Myers quiet, calming demea-
nor and his ability to listen to
me rant.
The time he spent with
Zach put me at ease. He had a
way with him that I can only
describe as instinctual. He
was the first person who was
smart enough to realize that
there was something more
going on here than autism.
Although it was difficult to
hear that there was yet anoth-
er diagnosis with which to
contend bi-polar phenotype
I was relieved that he wasnt
just going to throw some
behavior meds at me and send
me on my way.
I left his office feeling for
the first time that there was
hope and a doctor who cared.
Improvements were almost
immediate, and Dr. Myers and
his staff always were available
by phone or email to listen to
problems or concerns, tweak
meds, make emergency ap-
pointments, etc. He always
involved me in any decisions
made about Zachs treatment
and he gave me back my confi-
dence in my ability to parent
my child and trust my in-
stincts.
We have been seeing him
for nine years. He and LPA
Nancy Eisenhower have been
the glue that has held us to-
gether. Appointments are
pleasant, the office staff is
compassionate, the environ-
ment is positive. The outlook
is bright.
I hope Dr. Myers and Dr.
Thomas Challman realize the
impact that they have had on
the children whom they treat
and the relief they have pro-
vided for us parents.
I am honored to have this
opportunity to say thank you.

Michelle Bednar said she visits the Luzerne County Cour-
thouse several times a month as part of her work as an
elected Conyngham Township tax collector, and shes
been taking note of ideas that may be helpful if shes
elected to county council.
Bednar said she doesnt want to lay off employees but
wants to explore the
possibility of consoli-
dation that may be im-
plemented somewhere
down the line.
The need for more com-
puterization surfaced
during her reviews, she
told a Times Leader
endorsement panel.
What I see is the county
lacks a lot on technol-
ogy. They are not up to
date on a lot of things
that could be more effi-
cient, Bednar said.
Bednar said her 20 years
of experience in banking
would be beneficial on
council, and she ex-
pressed interest in fo-
cusing on the county
budget. She said she has
experience in corporate
trusts, commercial loans, investments, budgets, bonds
and pension plans.
She also wants to research grants. The county already has
a grant writer. Bednar said she was unaware of that but
wants to ensure the county is exhausting all grant oppor-
tunities.
Bednar said the new home rule government is like a big
puzzle, and there will be a learning curve for everyone.
If elected, she is considering buying a prepaid cell phone to
allow the public to reach her to provide comments or ask
questions. She said shes accustomed to working long
hours as a tax collector in addition to maintaining a full-
time job.
Bednar already has announced that she would give up the
elected tax collector post shes held since 2009 if she
wins a council seat.
The possibility that elected tax collectors could be eliminat-
ed under the new government prompted her to vote
against the home rule charter and piqued her interest in
running for council, she has said.
Switching to in-house county tax collection could negatively
impact customer service and lead to additional fees for
copies and other services, she has said.
Strong communication skills will be the most important
trait of the new manager, she said. Bednar doesnt want
to interfere with the managers work but said the manag-
er must keep council informed.
I believe if you dont communicate with everyone then no
job will get done the proper way, she said.

Jim Bobeck said he wants to utilize his legal and leadership experience
and knowledge of Luzerne Countys home rule government by serving
on the new county council.
An attorney, Bobeck chairs the home rule transition committee and also
serves on three transition sub-
committees that have been
drafting proposed personnel,
administrative and ethics codes
for the new government.
Reaching decisions is often a chal-
lenge on the 11-person transition
committee because the mem-
bers have different views, per-
sonalities and sometimes agen-
das, he said. It will be the same
on the council of 11, the Kingston
resident told a Times Leader
endorsement panel.
Ill try to really bring people to-
gether. They dont have to agree
with me on most decisions. In
fact that would not be the best
thing. But what Id like to know is
that were all able to make deci-
sions, move on and get to the
other business, Bobeck said.
Choosing the right blend of candi-
dates is a challenge for voters,
he said.
You cant have all show horses. You cant have people who just simply
want to speak their mind and not listen in any way. Nor can we have a
bunch of wallflowers either, Bobeck said.
Bobeck said he wants to keep the council focused on its responsibilities:
choosing a manager, approving budgets, appointing members of
outside boards and developing long-term goals for the county.
With this council, one of the better things Im really excited about is it
can focus on some longer-term problems. It is allowed to do some
type of investigations, some studies on certain things, he said.
He said hes frequently thinking of county responsibilities or issues that
arent spelled out in the charter and has been contacting other home
rule counties to find out how they handle these matters.
Bobeck said he has a firm grasp on the decisions that must be made
when the government switch occurs in January, and he is willing to
share his knowledge with fellow county members who arent up to
speed.
We all have to be on the same page, he said.
He said council members and the new manager must both have thick
skin and not expect to be liked. Some may be out to get the man-
ager for his or her decisions, he said.
Were there to do the best we can, to make tough choices, Bobeck
said.
Council members must also figure out how to supervise the manager
without interfering in day-to-day operations at the county courthouse,
he said,
A daily or weekly presence, just kind of milling around, that could be a
real issue, a perception issue. It frightens me actually, he said.

Edward A. Brominski said he wants to serve on Luzerne County Council
because he has years of public service experience and cares about
getting the new home rule government off to a good start.
He said he was taken aback when someone asked him if he was teaming
up with other candidates to form
alliances or majorities if theyre
elected.
Were all going in supposedly to
achieve the same end to make
the county government work, to
make the change, to start to pay
down the debt and to start to
improve the life of the communi-
ty, the retired Swoyersville
endorsement panel.
Brominski said hes also disturbed
that some people have a mis-
conception that council mem-
bers will be controlling jobs.
The new county manager and
human resources department
must decide which applicants
are the most qualified, he said.
Brominski said he wont allow his
name to be used as a reference
for any jobs and will encourage
the redaction of all names and
addresses of job applicants including those for the county manager
post that will be filled by council to help ensure selections are based
on qualifications.
He said hes largely been in public service since graduating from high
school, serving in the Navy and working as a public school teacher,
elected mayor and county commissioner and a county assessment
office director.
I always believed and I still do believe that everybody should take
an opportunity to get involved in government and offer whatever they
have within themselves to make things a little bit better, he said.
He said he left the county with a $500,000 surplus when his commis-
sioner term ended in the early 1980s.
Brominski said he was fired from his assessors director job in 1999
because he did too well of a job cleaning up the problems in the
office.
Hes also worked in the private sector in insurance and pharmaceutical
sales and said he would run the county like a business. He also has
experience negotiating union contracts as a school teacher and coun-
ty commissioner.
The new county council shouldnt be in the courthouse interfering with
managers, he said, promising to speak out if he finds other council
members crossing the line. He said he would voice any concerns
about county operations to the council chair to relay them to the
manager.
He expects the manager and division chiefs to be accountable.
If you mess up, youd better have an answer, and Im going to be the
one youre going to have to answer to, and if I dont accept it, youre
going to be gone, he said.

Michael Cabell doesnt want to see any eye-rolling from Luzerne
County Council members if hes elected to serve.
You need to sit there and listen, even if you dont agree with them.
Listen, propose a counter-argument. There needs to be more
cohesion with the group, the Butler Township resident told a
Times Leader endorsement panel.
Cabell said there should be opposing views.
Disagreement is fine. We need disagreement. Thats why we have 11
people, he said, noting that he works well with people.
Cabell said hes been busy with his full-time job as chief operating
officer at Abbey Road Con-
trol but has a flexible sched-
ule that will allow him to
devote the necessary time
to council.
If I do get elected, I plan on
putting everything I have
into it because we have an
opportunity here to really
lay the groundwork for the
future of this county, Ca-
bell said.
He said his experience running
a business has prepared
him to deal with budgets,
accounting and personnel.
Spending cuts will be needed
to get the county in a sus-
tainable situation, he said.
He believes some reductions will be found in court departments.
Benefits provided to the county should be more in line with those
provided in the private sector, he said.
Choosing a manager people can trust is his top priority, he said.
Thats going to be what makes or breaks this government if this
council hires the right person for county manager, he said.
Council members must know whats going on in the county, even
though they wont make decisions about daily operations, he
said.
He is running alone but said he plans to vote for several other
council candidates whom he believes are good people, even
though he doesnt expect they always will agree with his votes or
views.
Cabell encourages voters to choose candidates who want to get to
work.
We really need to work towards a future and not worry about
personal agendas or anything you have against the guy next to
you or the girl next to you, he said.
He said hes focusing on door-to-door campaigning because he
believes it will be more effective than election signs and ad-
vertising.

Elaine Maddon Curry said she told voters not to pick her if theyre
expecting favors in return.
A vote for me means I will try my hardest to give everyone good gov-
ernment. If you expect anything else even a place on a board or
commission forget it. I dont do that, the Butler Township resident
told a Times Leader endorsement panel.
The new home rule government is a chance for a fresh start, and the
public will be watching and
waiting to monitor every deci-
sion made by the new council,
she said. She would object to
the hiring or appointment of
relatives and is hesitant to hire a
manager who has any kind of
meaningful ties to anyone in
county government.
It cannot be business as usual.
This is an opportunity for a new
day, Maddon Curry said.
The council responsibilities of
budgeting and negotiating union
contracts dont intimidate her
because she served eight years
on the Hazleton Area School
Board, which has a similar bud-
get and staff size as the county.
During her term as school board
president, she led an effort to remove board members from the
teacher-hiring process.
Maddon Curry also served on the Luzerne County Community College
Board of Trustees for six years and the county Diversity Commission
for five years.
She would support forums or other avenues to obtain public feedback
because regular meetings with lengthy agendas may not allow
enough time.
The names of applicants for board seats should be blacked out so coun-
cil members choose people based entirely on their qualifications, she
said.
She would also institute a practice she followed on the school board of
releasing full agendas to the media three days before all committee
and board meetings.
Maddon Curry said she would continue to provide her private cell phone
number to the public and is very good about returning messages,
though she stressed that she wont be in the courthouse microma-
naging day-to-day operations.
She said she wont make a decision without researching facts and lis-
tening to other opinions. Theres no room for personalities and poli-
tics because the county has serious financial problems, including
$415 million in outstanding debt, she said.
Its just pure recklessness to have that kind of debt. What was everybo-
dy thinking? she said.
She also wants to focus on unforeseen gaps in the new charter that
could allow questionable activity.
Were going to have to work very hard to make sure that we dont
continue finding a way to give jobs and contracts to people we know
and to further nepotism.

Kathleen M. Dobash said she would never cast a vote on Luzerne
County Council without thorough research, even if it means she
must work the equivalent of a full-time job gathering information.
I am empowering myself with information, and I ask the public to
empower themselves with information before they vote on Nov. 8,
the Hazleton woman told a Times Leader endorsement panel.
The council must thoroughly research the backgrounds of county
manager applicants, she said.
It has to be the right person and
the right choice, and Im not
going to be pressured by any-
one to expedite that process,
she said.
Dobash said she has always
followed county government
but stepped it up since the
May primary by interviewing
county workers, requesting
public documents and attend-
ing transition committee meet-
ings.
She said she hasnt hesitated to
challenge the transition com-
mittee if she disagrees with its
decisions or believes its stray-
ing from its purpose, though she sometimes feels ignored with a
united front against her.
Im glad I stood alone, she said.
Dobash said she will give up her part-time job as a therapeutic staff
support worker for Step By Step because it would violate a home
rule charter provision prohibiting council members from being
employed or compensated by a business that contracts with the
county. That agency has service agreements with county human
service divisions.
Dobash said she will consult the state Ethics Commission for an opin-
ion on whether she would have to abstain from voting on the com-
panys contracts if shes elected and, if so, for how long.
She said her experience as a support staff worker and taking care of
her mother will be an asset when overseeing county human service
branches because she understands the services and public needs.
Dobash said she also has past experience negotiating union contracts
as a teacher outside the area.
She said she attended a recent public meeting about county-owned
Moon Lake Park in Plymouth Township and wants to explore ways to
bring it back without taking more money out of the countys
general fund operating budget.
Dobash said she will distribute her cell phone number to the public
because she wants to be accessible.
The new county manager must stick to a tight budget because the
county has $415.04 million in outstanding debt to repay, she said.
County officials should also meet with union leaders to request a pay
freeze or other concessions to get the county back on track, she
said.
Raising taxes is the very last option. I do not want to do that to the
citizens and taxpayers and property owners of this county, she
said.

William Bill James said he decided to run for Luzerne County
Council because he didnt want to be in the background criti-
quing its decisions.
James said he is confident he understands what people want to
happen with the new home rule government and will vote on
their behalf.
Im undertaking it for them, the Exeter Township resident told
a Times Leader endorse-
ment panel. I can live out
the rest of my life and just
look at everybody and say,
Yeah, we should have, but
its not me.
James said his 38 years of
experience running a small
business would benefit the
new council.
Now retired, James borrowed
$5,000 from his uncle to set
up his business, B.J. Electri-
cal Inc., and said he turned
it into a million-dollar oper-
ation. The companys clients
included Rite Aid stores
across the state, he said.
James said he has a solid
understanding of construc-
tion projects, contracts and
insurance from his business work.
He said he will be independent, refusing to join any board coali-
tions or accept campaign contributions.
I dont need that. I dont need any ties to any one person, he
said.
Republican Party loyalty isnt an issue, he said, noting that he
is not in communication with party leaders. Im my own
person, and I wont be influenced by what goes on in their
little headquarters, he said.
James promised to be accessible to the public and candid
about county problems, saying he will speak out if he sees
any questionable actions.
He said he will fight to keep property taxes flat and will push
for a tax reduction. Staffing levels must be examined in all
county departments, he said.
The new council will be swamped with major decisions on Jan.
2, and James believes council will have to rely on an interim
manager for the first few months to allow more time for a
permanent selection.
Its going to be a monumental task, he said.
He wants to make sure the ethics and personnel policies have
teeth.
James believes many people supported the charter as retal-
iation against corruption without fully understanding its
implications. He doesnt want to see a majority voting bloc
and advises voters to choose individuals rather than making
straight-party picks.
To me this isnt what its about this time. Were out there for
change. We want change, he said.

Eugene L. Kelleher said hes a numbers guy, and he would use that
skill to analyze Luzerne County finances if hes elected to county
council.
He has a masters degree in math, retired after 35 years as a high
school math teacher and also has eight years of experience in the
financial services industry.
I like to look at numbers. Numbers dont lie. People do, he told a
Times Leader endorsement panel.
Kelleher said hes been scouring the county budget to look for potential
reductions and get a handle on
expenses that cant be touched
at this time because of binding
union arbitration awards, such
as raises granted to unionized
prison workers.
He believes the county may cut
expenses by switching to anoth-
er financial software program
and reducing the vehicle fleet
while creating a vehicle pool
that must be shared by all
departments. The countys
Water Street parking garage
also needs a meter to collect
payments, he said.
Kelleher said he also believes the
elected county controller
should continue to be responsible for authorizing payments before
county funds are released. If elected, he plans to seek a legal opinion
on whether the home rule charter would allow the new county man-
ager to designate the controller as cosigner on all checks.
I like the check-and-balance system and set-up we have now, Kelleher
said.
He wants a new county manager who is tough and wont be pressured
by politicians. The abilities to focus on whats best for taxpayers and
keep the county operating amidst change are also necessary, he
said.
This person whoever he or she is theyre going to have to know
how to deal with people, he said.
Kelleher said he had an awful temper as a young man but has devel-
oped strong people skills with age. He has also served as a Little
League coach, church choir director and high school coach and
started an ecumenical group in the Back Mountain after he retired
five years ago.
I can sit in a meeting and not get hot-headed and listen to somebodys
point of view if theyre yelling at me, he said.
He said he would be accessible to the public and will keep a special
phone line at his home for people to contact him about county mat-
ters. Voters must choose carefully, he said.
If the character of the people elected isnt good and they bring in a
political hack as a county manager, weve got worse problems than
we have now, he said.

Michael A. Lacey said he would bring business sense and
leadership to Luzerne County government if hes elected
to county council.
He purchased Nocchis Pharmacy in Freeland in 1995 and
expanded the business in 2004, currently employing about
20. He said he understands payroll, customer service and
managing people, which also includes inspiring them to
perform their work.
As I walked through the courthouse on a couple of occa-
sions, it seems like theres
an apathy there that is
just deafening to me, and
Im beginning to think its
the fear of, If I speak up,
I jeopardize my job or my
position, Lacey said.
Folks often become frustrat-
ed and depressed when
they feel they have no
control over a situation,
he said. He said his phar-
macy employees provide
valuable input, and he
believes county employees
hold a lot of the an-
swers for ideas to im-
prove services and reduce
the budget.
Without their input, we
dont get the results
were expecting, Lacey said, noting that a public-minded
county council and strong county manager will engage
employees and make them part of the solution.
County officials must also keep the public informed and
welcome citizen input, he said.
Lacey wants to streamline county government. He co-found-
ed the NEPA Tea Party to push for lower taxes, less gov-
ernment and a return to constitutional principles. He is a
registered Republican but is running on a Libertarian
nomination.
While the new council is prohibited from interfering with
day-to-day operations, Lacey said the council must still
monitor the managers performance.
I think its important that we dont pick a county manager
and let he or she just take over, because we need to be
that influence, he said.
The areas strong work ethic is known throughout the coun-
try, but so it its reputation for corruption, he said. He
recently spoke to a company representative who had to
deal with an issue involving a county road, and the work-
ers head office told him its legal office would handle the
matter because Luzerne was the most corrupt county in
the nation.
This pay to play, we cant be part of, Lacey said.
He recalls a job he obtained as an 18-year-old working for
Wilkes-Barre city. He had to pick up 50-gallon drums on
Public Square and dump the contents into a truck, and he
worked at a steady pace. Another worker ordered him to
slow down so the crew wouldnt be assigned to another
location. That mindset still exists today and encourages
government slackers, he said.

Linda McClosky Houck said she has a knack for math and focusing on
the nuts and bolts of complicated issues skills that would be
valuable as a Luzerne County Council member.
I think I have the ability to kind of cut to the chase of and see exactly
what the problem is, the Wyoming Valley West School District
teacher told a Times Leader endorsement panel.
McClosky Houck said she
wouldnt give up until she had
a firm grasp on county issues.
I think more than anything, I
have an ability to ask ques-
tions when I dont understand
and keep asking them until I
get good understanding, she
said.
She said she was encouraged by
coworkers to run for the
council post and wouldnt
have considered it without
their support. McClosky
Houck said shes been an
officer in the school districts
teachers union since 2004
and has served as president
for the last five years, settling
two contracts.
As a union representative,
McClosky Houck said she brings concerns of the workforce to the
administration and helps to facilitate solutions. She said shes
resolved numerous issues reasonably.
A member of the union-endorsed Working Families for Luzerne
County council candidate slate, McClosky Houck said someone
asked how she will balance her unionism while negotiating coun-
ty collective bargaining agreements.
Unionism involves more than contract negotiations, she said. She
said its also about giving workers a say in their workplace, and she
said she would also ensure the average taxpayer has a voice in
their government.
She said she doesnt view herself as a politician.
I hope to be a good public servant if Im elected, she said.
Council members should not be interfering in day-to-day operations,
she said, comparing the situation to a school district where school
board members are not in schools on a daily basis.
The county shouldnt hire relatives of council members, she said,
adding that there are lots of non-relatives qualified to hold county
positions.
She believes the region will attract businesses by creating an atmo-
sphere of confidence in county government, saying businesses
dont want to locate in a county known for unethical behavior.

on the ballot for Luzerne County Council so the public would
recognize him as the man who writes letters to the editor
and calls WILK radio programs.
Usually referencing Scripture, he has repeatedly voiced his
distaste for nepotism, favoritism and cronyism and his desire
for principles over politics and fiscal integrity.
The Jenkins Township man
said some people have ex-
pressed concerns that he
would be a biblical fanatic
on council.
I will not bring my biblical
views to force it on any-
body, he told a Times Lead-
er endorsement panel. I will
speak with honesty and
integrity.
Hatchko said he lobbied to
study a possible switch to
home rule government,
though he wasnt thrilled
with the final product, in
part because it eliminated
most elected row offices and
gave too much power to
the appointed manager.
However, he believes any government system can work if voters
choose decent people to serve. Courthouse crime and cor-
ruption were also motivators for him to run.
I believe ethics and morality will promulgate good govern-
ment, he said.
As an American Independent candidate, he underwent the bru-
tal process of collecting about 1,550 signatures to get on
the ballot, well over the 995 names required.
He accepted assistance from two people to collect about 200
of those signatures but said he wanted to gather most on his
own so he doesnt owe anybody. Hatchko said he would not
form any coalitions or majorities on council.
Im the Lone Ranger, he said.
Hatchko said he has union negotiating experience from his
private sector and county employment that would be bene-
ficial on council, which will vote on collective bargaining
agreements after Jan. 2. The union gets the upper hand
when the county approves agreements with weak language,
he said.
He said hes absolutely 100 percent union but wouldnt sup-
port raises at this time because taxpayers cant afford
them. He believes the workforce should be reduced through
attrition.
He believes he was hired at the prison because he was 5 feet 9
inches, 295 pounds and strong, though he was passed over
many times before obtaining full-time employment and saw
many other guards in the same situation.
Hatchko said there are too many people in certain families
working in county government, and he would not hire a rela-
tive.
If I recommend somebody to get hired, all theyd have to do is
a good job. Thats my payback, he said.

Harry Haas said his platform as a Luzerne County Council is basic:
decrease debt, hire the best manager, make the county more effi-
cient and govern with decency.
He said hes prepared to make tough decisions and doesnt believe
government should take on responsibilities and costs that arent
mandated.
Im a conservative guy, the Wilkes-Barre resident told a Times Leader
endorsement panel. I just
hesitate to increase the scope
of even our local government
because I think weve got our
hands in a lot of things we
shouldnt be involved with.
Haas said he would choose ac-
tions that are best for the
majority of residents and tax-
payers and will be candid with
the public about his rationale.
If people are looking to be pop-
ular and make friends, this is
not the position to run for,
Haas said. Thats really what
the nature of doing the right
thing is. You cant please every-
body all the time.
He plans to keep his website,
harryhaas.com, active if he
wins so the public has a way to
provide feedback to him. He said he wont micromanage the new
manager.
I want to make sure I give them enough room to do the job that were
going to appoint them to and thats really to manage what vision we
put in place, Haas said.
Haas said he is not an expert public manager. But I do have a grasp
on what the people of Luzerne County want. Theyre just sick of
nonsense. Theyre tired of it. They want decency, he said.
He said he would examine issues from different perspectives and listen
to the opinions of other council members. Hes accustomed to re-
search as a history teacher.
I think Im a consensus builder. I try to see things from different per-
spectives, Haas said.
Haas has been campaigning door to door in rural parts of the county,
saying he wants to let people in outlying areas know they have a
voice. He said he understands municipalities that feel out of the
loop because he grew up in rural Franklin Township.
Haas left the area to attend college and teach in Washington, D.C., but
chose to return to the area and lives in downtown Wilkes-Barre.
He wants a manager with expertise saving money because the county
must be more prudent, he said. Managers must have resources to
perform their jobs but cant receive funding for items that are
wants rather than needs, he said.
Haas already has some name recognition because he unsuccessfully
ran for Wilkes-Barre mayor in 2003 and the Wilkes-Barre Area
School Board in 2008.

Tim Mullen
Tim Mullen said hes disciplined with his personal finances and would
be the same way with taxpayer funds if hes elected to Luzerne
County Council.
I would certainly run this county like I run my own house. A lot of it is
just common sense, the Kingston Township resident told a Times
Leader endorsement panel.
The fringe benefits for county workers must be in line with those pro-
vided in the private sector,
Mullen said, noting that his own
health insurance payment has
quadrupled in the last four
years.
I talk to people every day that
are on the verge of losing their
homes, and theyre the ones
Im fighting for, he said. Im
going to tell it like it is.
Mullen said streamlining is need-
ed, though hed prefer staff
reductions through attrition.
County workers will have to
sacrifice, and citizens might
have to give up services, he
said.
Hes already on the record that he
will never vote to raise property
taxes or borrow more money in
the county.
He ran against state Rep. Phyllis Mundy in November because he
perceived a lack of leadership. He lost and took a break but soon got
fired up about problems in county government.
I just dont see anybody willing to lead and tell the people the truth
about the trouble were in, from the county right on up to the federal
government, he said.
He rounded up 2,200 signatures to get on the ballot as a Libertarian,
though he only needed 995. Mullen said he also personally handed
out campaign literature to about 7,000 people.
We are by far the most fiscally conservative party, and that is what
this county sorely needs is some fiscal discipline, he said of Liber-
tarians.
He said hes financially stable because he invested heavily in the gold
and silver market the last few years, and hed be willing to switch to
part-time hours at work if he needs to devote more time to the
council post. He said he would never shortchange residents.
He voted against the home rule charter, in large part because he want-
ed voters to keep their right to elect a sheriff. Mullen said he also
sees some positives in the charter and ultimately believes the peo-
ple elected to run county government have more impact than the
government system.
Mullen would like to revise the charter to give the elected county con-
troller more power over monitoring payments.
He believes voters are more accepting of candidates from third parties
today and said he would be a check and balance, watching the
actions of council members from other parties.

Rick Morelli
Rick Morelli said most of his fellow Luzerne County Council candidates
are promising to be transparent and independent, but he has a track
record both as a home rule charter drafter and home rule transition
member for more than two years.
If you follow me, Ive been totally independent, and Im so proud of that.
I come in, and Im going to make
decisions based off of what I feel
is best, the Sugarloaf Township
endorsement panel.
He said hes been criticized for
asking too many questions, but
he wont stop.
Im no ones rubber stamp. Im
going to be vocal, and thats what
Im going to continue to bring to
the table, he said.
Morelli said hes the only candidate
who was involved in both the
charter drafting and transition.
He said he attended more than
100 home rule meetings and
interviewed other home rule
counties to learn about their
procedures.
He has an MBA in finance and owns
a business. He also served on the Hazleton Area School Board, which
has a budget and staff size similar to the county.
He said hes familiar with mandated services and funding streams and
what may be cut, and he has negotiated contracts.
Altogether, Im prepared for this, he said, noting that he was among
three council candidates who attended a county hearing about the
proposed 2012 budget. I want to pay close attention to how this bud-
get is going to be handed over because realistically council only has
45 days to change this budget, he said.
Experience is important because the new council will build a new govern-
ment from scratch, he said. He believes council members should break
into oversight committees based on the structure of county divisions.
Morelli wants to post council meetings on the web, saying the public
service could be done very cheaply.
He wont take the $8,000 council salary, saying hes not taking the post
for the money and doesnt want anyone to accuse him of financially
benefiting from a charter that he helped to draft.
Morelli said he wants the new manager to develop a five-year plan spell-
ing out targets for staff size, debt repayment and revenue.
He believes all council members should post contact information on the
county website to obtain public feedback, though he stressed that
council members cant dictate directives to the manager or other
employees.
He said one of his biggest pet peeves on the home rule study commis-
sion and transition group has been that decisions are made behind
the scenes.

Jeremy Packard said he would provide an independent voice on
Luzerne County Council because hes running as an Independent.
If there is no independent voice on some issues, theres no ques-
tion that party loyalty and party persuasiveness will influence the
formation of a majority, the retired Wyoming Seminary president
told a Times Leader en-
dorsement panel.
Packard pushed for passage of
the countys new home rule
charter as part of the Home
Rule Yes steering commit-
tee. As he celebrated the
charters victory, some
suggested he run for a seat.
He switched his registration
from Republican to Inde-
pendent and collected more
than the 995 names re-
quired to get on the ballot.
Packard said he wholeheart-
edly supported the charters
inclusion of an appointed
county manager, saying a
county the size of Luzerne
needs a professional to run
daily operations. He believes
it is inevitably politically
influenced and not efficient
for three elected commis-
sioners, or a majority of two,
to perform that role.
He believes council members
should try to spend some time in the county courthouse meeting
with the public and becoming familiar with the operations of
various departments.
However, council must decide as a group how to evaluate the per-
formance of the new manager without interfering with the man-
agers duties. It will be a fine line, he said.
Packard said some council members who are used to the outgoing
government form could be inappropriately tempted to give direc-
tions to workers and seek jobs for constituents.
It is going to take quite a while to work out and to have everyone
on the council get used to and understand what they can do and
what they cant do in terms of contact with county employees,
and I think a lot of people havent really thought about that very
much, he said.
Packard said all options to reduce spending and increase revenue
must be considered with an open mind.
Hes not in favor of tax increases but said it would be short sight-
ed for council members to promise that they would never raise
taxes under any circumstance, particularly if the new manager
presents a budget with a tax increase as the only alternative.
He also said he doesnt favor a slash and burn operation to cover
budget shortfalls, but some staff reductions may be warranted.
Packard questions what candidates intend to do if they make cam-
paign statements that they wont raise taxes or lay off employees.
He said his background in education and management is a plus
because he had to work with students, parents and trustees with
different views. He also noted his experience with managing and
evaluating employees and analyzing spreadsheets, budgets and
contracts.

M. Theresa Morcavage said she would bring a level head to Luzerne
County government if shes elected to county council.
I am a very fair and honest person. I am able to look at all sides of a
situation and be able to determine what has to be done, the
retired county worker told a Times Leader endorsement panel.
Morcavage said she enjoys
solving problems.
Thats my expertise. I look at
things and sit down and work
out solutions. Im a team
player not a grandstander,
she said.
She said her former colleagues
in the courthouse know she
would be willing to work with
them and not try to con-
demn them.
Morcavage retired in November
2008 and served as chief
union steward for the American Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union in the county the last seven
years of her employment
Her training as chief steward taught her to distinguish between a
true complaint and personal gripe, she said. That role also gave
her experience in contract negotiations and county budgets, said
Morcavage, who is part of the union-endorsed Working Families
for Luzerne County slate.
She wants to examine wasteful spending in the county, saying she
has an idea of areas to study from her time working in the county.
For example, she believes there is an overabundance of manage-
ment in the county. The county could also save money by reducing
the number of properties leased for county offices, she said.
Morcavage said shed like to negotiate uniform benefit packages into
county union contracts. She does not oppose allowing employees
to carry unused sick days from year to year but believes better
tracking procedures are needed to make sure the benefit is not
abused.
Though she believes the new council members should work together,
she said she would speak out if she sees any improper behavior.
She said she felt powerless to correct problems in county govern-
ment as an employee and saw an opportunity to implement
change by running for council.
I just feel that someone should be there to keep an eye on whats
going on, someone who understood what was happening so you
wont allow it to happen again, she said.
Morcavage believes county commissioners should have paid more
attention to actual work being performed in county offices. She
said she would keep an eye on offices to make sure employees
both union and management were performing required duties.

Tim McGinley said he would reach out to the 10 other Luzerne County
Council members to reach decisions if hes elected.
We have to work at that to build a consensus so that everybody
can support the decisions that come out of council, the Kingston
resident told a Times Leader endorsement panel.
Thats going to be a critical
element because when you put
11 people in a room to make
decisions, you have to build
that consensus, and you have
to make it open to everybody
so everybody can buy into
that.
McGinley said he understands the
structure and role of govern-
ment because he worked as a
public school teacher for three
years and will retire at the end
of this year as administration
director at the Commission on
Economic Opportunity (CEO).
The agency covers social ser-
vice needs in the county, and
McGinley has worked there for
a decade.
He said hes served on many large
committees and has been on
both sides of collective bargain-
ing agreements as a teacher
and manager.
To prepare for a possible council
term, McGinley said hes been
talking to county residents.
I think whats important to them
is a good, efficient county
government that operates
honestly, openly and with the
best intent for the residents of the county, he said.
He said hed like to generate more revenue by examining fees for coun-
ty services. The county may also increase some services that are in
public demand to raise money, he said.
McGinley said he would look for efficiencies to save money and said
several employees have suggested a change in software programs to
reduce costs.
He expects the county manager to make suggestions on recommended
changes in the fringe benefits allotted to employees, and he wants
more uniformity among different unions.
McGinley said changes in salaries and compensation packages are
occurring nationally because of the economy.
I think people are ready to sit down and talk about things of that
nature, he said.
The new county manager must be a real workhorse and someone that
people have confidence in, he said.
McGinley said he has demonstrated honesty and integrity. He promises
to be accessible to the public and media.
I feel passionate about Luzerne County, and I would work to make
Luzerne County the finest county in the state, he said.

Salvatore Licata said he would be comfortable accepting the
responsibility of a Luzerne County Council seat because hes
always viewed himself as a leader.
Licata told a Times Leader endorsement panel that he has no
problem making decisions, though he would listen to other
opinions.
I have always been a decision-
maker. I think thats impor-
tant. Council is going to have
to make decisions, and Ive
always based my decisions on
listening to what people say,
reviewing the facts, working
with others and coming up
with whats best for that
particular body, Licata said.
Licata, who is part of the
union-endorsed Working
Families for Luzerne County
slate, said he decided to run
because he wants to see
this government work.
He said the new home rule
charter was designed to attract regular people who have
common sense to serve on council.
He said he has a track record of experience serving on boards
for more than three decades, including the Greater Pittston
YMCA board, the Luzerne-Wyoming County Drug and Alcohol
Commission, the Pittston Parking Authority and the Luzerne
County Transportation Authority.
Im a hardworking person. Im willing to do whats necessary if
elected to make sure the job is done right and our county
moves in the right direction, Licata said.
He said he has no personal agenda.
I have no grand visions. Im not using this as a means to get
any place else. If elected, Im going to serve, do my best, and
when the term is over, ride into the sunset, Licata said.
Licata said he wants to focus on the delivery of county ser-
vices and has a passion for the programs provided by coun-
ty public service agencies, such as Children and Youth and
Drug and Alcohol.
Council members must work with the new manager to make
sure the county services funded by taxpayers are the ones
they want and need and that those services are run effi-
ciently, he said.
Licata said he sat through one day of county budget hearings
and observed the struggle between managers who requested
money to fund services and commissioners who are trying to
contain costs.
It is a difficult process, he said.
He said he cant assess the fringe benefits provided to county
workers at this time because he hasnt reviewed all collective
bargaining agreements. He believes the state of the economy
will prompt both sides the employees and county to meet
to negotiate solutions.

Jane Walsh-Waitkus
Jane Walsh-Waitkus said she has served in public office before and ran a
business experience that would benefit Luzerne County if shes elected to
the new county council.
Currently a Penn State Hazleton professor, she served four years on Laflin
Borough Council about 14 years ago and was the former owner of Walsh
Real Estate Corp.
I know how to budget. I know how to
manage. I know what to look for when
we need to hire people, the Dorrance
Township resident told a Times Lead-
er endorsement panel.
Walsh-Waitkus said she entered the race
because she wants to help people and
is concerned about the countys
future.
Ive got five grandchildren. Weve got to
turn things around. Weve got to get a
handle on the debt, and we just have to
give the county a fresh start in a new
direction, she said. Ima candidate of
the people. Imnot a professional
politician.
She said she excels at interpreting compli-
cated documents and making decisions.
She served on professional recruitment
searches at Penn State.
Tenacity and optimism are among her
attributes, she said.
People tell me Imreally good at arguing,
she said. Imquite good at that, but I do it in a way thats very respectful.
Walsh-Waitkus is part of the union-endorsed Working Families for Luzerne
County slate and said she would not want to eliminate county jobs be-
cause more employment is needed in the area not less.
Weve got to be fair and just about this. I want to help working families not
hurt them, Walsh-Waitkus said.
She said she cant critique the fringe benefits of county employees at this
time because shed have to gather more information.
She promised to be an advocate for taxpayers, particularly senior citizens, in-
cluding her 89-year-old mother who is on a fixed income and living in her own
home.
She also wants to focus heavily on customer service in county offices and to
reach out to municipalities to encourage themto regionalize more services.
Walsh-Waitkus said she doesnt want to raise taxes and has been exploring
other new revenue streams. For example, industries should be approached
about buying naming rights to county-owned Moon Lake Park in Plymouth
Township, she said.
She said she has other ideas to boost revenue but cant discuss them yet
because they need further development.
County officials must be very careful spending tax dollars, she said.

Stephen A. Urban
Stephen A. Urban said hes acquired extensive knowledge about Luzerne County
government in his 12 years as a commissioner, and hes willing to provide back-
ground information to other county council members if hes elected.
Many county services, mandates and funding issues will remain the same under
the newhome rule government, he said. Extensive research may be necessary
for council members to understand complicated items that appear on their
meeting agendas for a vote, he said,
noting that he had to put in a lot of time
getting up to speed after he was first
elected in1999.
Ive always believed that you have to
have some core competence before
you make a vote. You should know
the facts before you speak, and Im
willing to share that information with
other council members, the Wilkes-
Barre resident told a Times Leader
endorsement panel.
Urban said he would have no problem
stepping back and allowing the new
county manager to run day-to-day
operations.
He said he has a reputation for being
accessible to the public and providing
information to the public, and he
would continue to accept calls on his
personal cell phone.
He wants to urge council to keep a home-
stead tax exemption on primary resi-
dents and said council members should
be free to propose improvements in
county government, rather than blindly
following the manager.
I dont think we want the manager run-
ning the council. I think the council should be a body that thinks on its own, and
every individual the1 1 individuals should provide input into newlegislation or
benefits or things they should give the public, he said.
Urban believes council members should form commissions to oversee
groups of departments so they become experts in those areas and can
share updates with other council members.
He said he gained in-depth knowledge of the Wyoming Valley Levee system
and its pumping stations serving as chairman of the countys Flood Pro-
tection Authority for eight years. He said he also understands the nu-
ances of contract negotiations.
Urban still supports additional cuts in court branches and other county
departments and believes the county should complete studies comparing
county staffing to that of similarly sized counties.
The county has reduced its budget from $142 million to $125 million in re-
cent years and accessed grants and federal funding to pay for staff and
repairs, including a $2 million stimulus funding award that paid for a new
heating and air conditioning system, he said.
Weve been out capturing as much revenue we can, and I think thats re-
flective in our budget, he said.

Rick Williams said he would take office as a Luzerne County Coun-
cil member with an open mind and no alliances.
He said he would analyze data, share views, listen to public input
and vote his conscience on each issue, based on his view of
whats best for the county as a whole.
Imamazed that thats even a
novel idea, the Kingston
resident told a Times Lead-
er endorsement panel.
Williams supported the home
rule charter and originally
tried to get others with
experience and skills to
run, only to be told by one
that he shouldnt be asking
others to run if he wouldnt
do so himself. He took the
advice to heart and round-
ed up 1,600 signatures to
get on the ballot as an
Independent contender.
The two-party political sys-
tem isnt working well at
any government level and
shouldnt be an issue in a
county government thats
responsible for overseeing
local services, he said.
At the county level there are no differences between Democratic
and Republican policies for courts, wills, deeds, human services,
parks, clean water, flood protection, Williams said. People coop-
erating and working together solve problems not party politics.
Williams said his business and architectural experience would be
an asset on council.
Architecture in itself is a complex process. I believe I have the
skills to gather information, analyze information, to work with
others with many points of view, to find common solutions and
to make tough decisions.
As a business owner with a masters degree in business, Williams
said he understands financial statements, budgeting and per-
sonnel and pension plan management.
Williams wants to see more uniformity in county union contracts
that have varying fringe benefits and expiration dates. The
county could negotiate changes that would take effect when
the final contract is renewed to be fair to all employees. He also
believes all workers should work 40 hours per week.
Paying down debt and streamlining financial reports for the public
are among his priorities.
Theres a lot of confusion and complexity around the financial
systems and I hope that can be simplified so reports can be
timely and available to the public and readable. Right now thats
not the case, he said.
Williams said his sole interest is starting the new government on
a good foundation.
I have no ax to grind. I have no hunger for power and I have no
party to serve.

Stephen J. Urban said he wants to end black eyes in Luzerne Coun-
ty government and concentrate on fixing problems if hes elected to
county council.
The time for the bickering and the arguing needs to stop. We need to
just hit the ground running and be able to talk to our fellow council
people and provide the right solutions, the Wilkes-Barre resident
told a Times Leader endorse-
ment panel.
Urban said he is very analytical.
I look at everything and then
basically look at process and
work flow, seeing how we can
make things more efficient.
Urban said he identified improve-
ments that could have been
made by his past corporate
employers by talking to workers
at all levels of the companies and
observing procedures, though
his feedback wasnt sought by
upper management.
He said he works well with others
and wants to examine issues
from a people perspective.
The countys website often has a
lot of white space and could be
revamped to make it more user-friendly and interactive, he said.
More county reports and data should be added to the site, he said.
Urban said he cant provide specific plans on new revenue and cuts
because he has to examine data. He said he doesnt want to make
promises he cant keep.
Hiring an upstanding and ethical manager must be the main focus
of the freshman council, Urban said.
Im going to go in there with an open set of eyes and look at the
candidates that have applied for the position and make sure we
choose the right person, he said.
Urban, the son of county Commissioner Stephen A. Urban, said he
would tap his fathers knowledge of county government but would
make up his own mind when voting. He said hes been on his own
since he was about 20 and has served as a Republican state com-
mittee member since 1998.
Im out there just as much as he is. I know a whole different group of
people than he knows, Urban said. He doesnt make any of my
decisions. He makes his own, and I make my own.
He wants to improve communication between the county and its 76
municipalities to try to consolidate services and share in bulk pur-
chases to save money.
Urban believes all county employees should work 40 hours per week.
He said he would oppose backroom deals.
Weve had enough corruption and scandal in this county to last us a
lifetime. That time period is over. Its time to move ahead, forge ahead,
get Luzerne County back on track and get it back in the black.

Eileen M. Sorokas said her ability to relate to Luzerne County
residents would help the new county council.
I believe that I am one of best candidates because Im just an
average citizen, the retiree told a Times Leader endorsement
panel. Im not overeducated that Im beyond the people. Im just
an average person that people could talk to and come and ap-
proach.
As evidence, she holds up a
list of suggestions to save
money and improve county
government that she ob-
tained on the campaign
trail, including selective
timbering on county-own-
ed property and the usage
of motion-activated lights
in county buildings.
Sorokas said she solicited the
feedback attending 130
events, though she hasnt
had time to research the
viability of the suggestions
or how much money could
be saved if they were
implemented.
Like most council candidates, Sorokas pledges to hire the best
manager, make county government transparent, hold the line on
taxes and eliminate waste and debt.
She said shes ready to go because shes closely followed the
home rule transition process and thoroughly studied the new
charter.
Im not afraid to work and work hard if I have to and find ways to
find solutions to the problems that do occur, Sorokas said.
Sorokas said she will be independent and has refused campaign
contributions.
I believe I could get on council free and clear, she said.
Hiring relatives would be a no-no for the new council, she said.
Sorokas said she has union contract negotiating experience from
her past factory employment.
She attended a recent public meeting about county-owned Moon
Lake Park in Plymouth Township and said she wants to find ways
to increase revenue to maintain the park.
Sorokas summarized her platform in a prepared statement:
I will try to strive for an honest, responsive and dependable gov-
ernment, one that will understand and serve the needs of the
public.

John Ruckno said he would bring money management and business
experience to Luzerne County Council if he wins a seat on Nov. 8.
Now retired, Ruckno was formerly president of Forty Fort Lumber Co.,
a family-owned business, and also worked as a financial adviser and
money manager. Ruckno said he had to meet budgets, oversee
personnel and be accountable in his professional career.
What Im really basing my qual-
ifications on is my financial
and business acumen, he told
a Times Leader endorsement
panel.
Ruckno said he collaborates well
with people and is a good
listener.
Im not so stubborn that I wont
listen to suggestions or good
arguments, Ruckno said.
He believes the county must
require managers to justify
expenditures from scratch in
the budget. The size of the
county workforce must also be
reduced because of the $415
million in outstanding debt.
I think we need to start working
on paying down the debt and
balancing the budget and not
increasing our debt, so I think the most prudent way or efficient way is
to shrink the size of government or outsource parts of the services,
Ruckno said. Whatevers the most economical I think we should do
it.
Ruckno said he does not want to comment at this time on specific
county services that may be viable for outsourcing.
Fringe benefits for county employees must be evaluated, he said.
I think benefits ought to mirror the private sector. There shouldnt be
any special privileges for government employees, he said.
Choosing a very qualified manager with no political or familial ties to the
county is the most pressing task facing the newcouncil, he said.
Ruckno said he does not want to become affiliated with any council
coalitions and said council seats should not be political.
I think of myself as a public servant not as a Republican or any party
affiliation. My party is not my master. Its the people of this county, he
said.
The new county ethics code is of particular interest to Ruckno, who said
he wants to eliminate ethical breaches, cronyism, favoritismand nepo-
tism.
For example, he wants to make sure the new code requires people to
speak up if they see ethics violations in the county, as opposed to
making such reporting optional.
Ruckno said he was inspired to run for the office after attending a
presentation about the new home rule charter last year.

Four candidates declinedinter-
views with a Times Leader en-
dorsement panel Gina Neven-
glosky, Blythe H. Evans III, Joyce
Dombroski-Gebhardt and Brian
Bergman.
Bergman did not respond to
messages, while the other three
said they were unable to fit inter-
views into their schedules.
Nevenglosky, 51, a Republican
fromDorrance Township, attend-
ed college and works in promo-
tions and sales. A township Re-
publican committeewoman, Ne-
venglosky is married to Joe Ne-
venglosky and has four children.
She has said she is honest and
would focus on increasing the
quality and efficiency of county
services.
I want to be there for the tax-
payers, to watch and make sure
things dont return to the way
they used to be, she said before
the primary.
Evans, 37, a Republican from
Plymouth, has an associates de-
gree in military history from Val-
ley Forge Military College, a
bachelors degree in history from
Moravian College and an associ-
ates degree in legal studies from
Harrisburg
Community Col-
lege.
He previously
worked in plant
virology for the
Pennsylvania
Department of
Agriculture in
Harrisburg and currently owns
and operates two businesses in
Plymouth -- Evans Rentals L.L.C.
and SoundCloud Studios.
Evans recently married Jessica
Ohl.
He has said he wants to try to
lower taxes and create awareness
about protecting
natural re-
sources.
I want to put
citizens first,
and I want to
protect the envi-
ronment, he
has said.
Dombroski-Gebhardt, 54, a Re-
publican from Kingston, has an
associates degree in office sci-
ence technology from Luzerne
County Community College.
She has worked as a stenogra-
pher at the Pentagon, as execu-
tive secretary to the business
manager at the
State Correc-
tional Institu-
tion at Dallas
and an adminis-
trative assistant
to the president
of Wilkes Uni-
versity.
Dombroski-Gebhardt is single
and has three adult children and
one grandchild.
She has said she wont hesitate
to cut spending if shes elected.
I absolutely do not want taxes
raised, especially for the senior
citizens, she has said. I firmly
believe we will be able to make
the cuts without raising taxes.
Bergman, 38, an information
technology professional fromHa-
nover Township, is running as a
Libertarian. He couldnot be reac-
hed for comment on his educa-
tional background and work ex-
perience.
He has said he decided to run
because he was sickandtired of
problems in county government.
I think there are so many peo-
plewhoaresofedupwiththetwo
big parties, theyre definitely
looking at other people, other op-
tions, Bergman has said.

E L E C T I O N P R E V I E W
WILKES-BARRE Will this
beTomLeightons toughest chal-
lenge as he tries to win a third
term as the citys mayor?
Thats the big question that
voters will answer Tuesday
when Leighton squares off
against two challengers Re-
publican Lisa Cope and Libertar-
ian Betsy Summers.
For nearly a year now, Leight-
on has been dealing with criti-
cism. He hired his children and
relatives for summer jobs. It was
revealed that the city paid for a
home security system for the
mayor and former administrator
J.J. Murphy at a cost of approxi-
mately $14,000. Allegations have
been made of missing city credit
card statements Leighton
says the statements arent mis-
sing; he says they were never
sent because there was a zero
balance and no charges for the
months in question.
The issue of the former Old
River Road Bakery has not been
resolved and Leighton has been
accused of favoring Leo Glodzik,
owner of LAG Towing Co., the
citys contracted towing compa-
ny. Critics have claimed Leight-
on has seen that Glodzik gets fa-
vorable treatment when buying
city properties and terms of his
towing contract have not been
enforced, while the city looks the
other way when Glodzik charges
exorbitant fees for towing.
And the tumultuous second
term of Leighton, 51, has includ-
ed legal battles with the citys
firefighters a $1million award
resulted in a tax increase of 13
mills and a lawsuit filed by a
city resident who tried to keep a
fire house open; the suit cost the
city some $69,000.
Leighton has campaigned on
his record one that he says
shows the city regaining its cred-
it rating after inheriting a $10.8
million deficit when the mayor
took office in 2004. He points to
newbusinesses that haveopened
in the city, generating nearly
$750,000 in annual revenue. He
said the Intermodal Transporta-
tion Center, Movies 14 Theater
Complex, new streetlights and
sidewalks downtown, additional
policeofficers, acitywidecamera
surveillance system, a housing
project in North End and a re-
gional emergency response
agreement have all improved the
quality of life for city residents
and made Wilkes-Barre more at-
tractive to businesses and vis-
itors.
And Leighton has a decided
advantage in spending money.
Leighton has nearly $95,000 for
the campaign compared to just
over $1,000 for each of his oppo-
nents. Cope, 45, and Summers,
54, have been relying on going
door-to-door to meet as many
voters as possible toget the word
out about their campaigns. The
twochallengers hada recent con-
versation that included perhaps
oneof them(Cope) throwingher
support to Summers. Two col-
lege political science professors
say withtwo challengers, Leight-
on stands a better chance of re-
taining his seat than if just one
person was running against him.
Leighton also enjoys a large
advantage in voter registration
more than 15,000 Democrats
are registered in the city, com-
pared to 4,200 Republicans and
far less others like Libertar-
ians. In 2007, Leighton won with
4,625 votes to 2,401 for his Re-
publican challenger, Linda Stets
Urban.
Cope and Summers have cam-
paigned largely on the theme
that its time for a change in the
city. They said they will bring
fairness to the mayors office and
rid City Hall of political crony-
ism.
Summers wants to reduce the
earned income tax from 3 per-
cent to .5 percent, which would
remove more than $9 million in
revenue from the citys general
fund. Summers said the reduc-
tion would be gradual and the
lost revenue could be made up
my making cuts and attracting
more residents to the city.
Summers would cut the may-
ors salary by $10,000, to a
$70,000-per-year job, and she
would eliminate the pension.
The positionwouldbecome part-
time after her first two years in
office, she said. Summers also
wants toeliminate City Councils
pensions and benefits.
Summers also wants an inde-
pendent audit of city depart-
ments to stop waste and mis-
management where possible.
She advocates changing policies
on the licensing of city contrac-
tors, permits, and inspections.
Cope said she will increase the
quality of life in the neighbor-
hoods and work to grow the
citys businesses and residents.
Cope is 13th on the hiring list
for the city police department.
Her husband is a city police offi-
cer. Cope said she would not re-
sign from the mayors post if her
number was called for a police
position.
She said she wants to crack
down on absentee landlords and
warned that criminals and drug
dealing residents will not be tol-
erated.
Cope said the city needs to be-
come more business-friendly.
She said she would look for in-
centives to attract new employ-
ers to the downtown and more
jobs would translate to more rev-
enue for the general fund.

Leighton squares off with challengers
WILKES-BARRE MAYOR
Voters will be filling at least five of
nine seats in each of Luzerne Coun-
tys 11 school districts Tuesday. Win-
ners will likely face another year of
massive budget shortfalls that al-
ready forced program and staffing
cuts this year.
The number of candidates equals
the number of open seats in four
races Greater Nanticoke Area, Ha-
nover Area, Pittston Area and Wyom-
ing Valley West leaving no real
competition in those districts.
At Lake-Lehman which elects
members by region only Region
Two has any competition, where Ka-
ren Masters won both party nomina-
tions in May while James Welby won
the Republican nod and Philip Lipski
the Democratic nomination...
Crestwood arguably has had the
quirkiest race of the year. Only two
candidates ran for five open seats in
en candidates racing for five seats. In-
cumbent Maryanne Toole and former
board member James Susek won both
party nominations in May, along with
John Quinn and Dino Galella. Kathy
Grinaway won the Republican nomi-
nation for the fifth seat while Louis
Elmy won the Democratic nomina-
tion. They are joined by Sam Troy,
running as an Independent.
Wyoming Area had the most com-
petitive primary among county
school boards, with 10 candidates
all cross-filed seeking the five
available seats. When votes were fi-
nalized, incumbents Catherine Es-
telle Campenni and Tony Valenti had
won both party nominations, along
with Deanna Farrell and Beth Gober-
Mangan. Incumbent Nicholas DeAn-
gelo won a Democratic nomination
and Carl Yorina Jr. won on the Repub-
lican side. They are joined by Mary
Louise Degnan, running as an inde-
pendent.
cial, 2-year seat was added to Tues-
days ballot, and each party was given
the chance to appoint a candidate.
The school board appointed former
member Randy Tomasacci to fill the
slot until the election.
Second, Federici withdrew from
the race. Each party could appoint a
candidate to replace him on Tues-
days ballot. Those two people are To-
masacci on the Republican ticket and
Gary Boberick on the Democratic
side, both joining the other Primary
winners in seeking the five available
four-year seats.
But the parties did not name any-
one to run for the two-year seat, Lu-
zerne County Election Bureau Direc-
tor Leonard Piazza said. That seat is
still on the ballot, but residents can
only cast write-in votes. The person
who gets the most valid write-ins
could win the seat without spending
a day campaigning.
Wilkes-Barre Area voters have sev-
didates running for five seats. Four
won both party nominations in May:
Incumbents Robert Childs, Brian Ear-
ley and Tony Bonomo and newcomer
Robbie Wallace. Mary Degenhart Ya-
nac won a Republican nod and Rocco
Formica won on the Democratic tick-
et.
Northwest Areas ballot actually
has more people running for five four-
year seats now than in May. In the
primary, incumbents Al Gordon, Da-
ryl Morgan and Gerald Conger com-
peted with Jeff Pierontoni, Joseph Fe-
derici and Ralph Killian. All were
cross-filed. Federici won nominations
on both tickets while Gordon won on-
ly the Republican nomination and
Pierontoni won only on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Which meant all six
would be back on the November bal-
lot. But two events reshaped the race.
First, Lisa Schoenhofen resigned
from the board with more than two
years remaining on her term. A spe-
May: Gene Mancini and Ken Mal-
kemes, who won both party nomina-
tions. The other winners were deter-
mined by write-ins, including incum-
bent Jerry Orloski, who initially did
not run but mounted a write-in cam-
paign after seeing the dearth of candi-
dates. Among write-ins, Orloski and
Michael Marshall won both party
nominations, while William Thomas
won on the Republican ticket and
John Mullisky on the Democratic
side.
Dallas saw incumbent Dennis Go-
cheol Jr. lose his bid for re-election in
May while incumbents Gary Mathers
and Russell Bigus chose not to run.
The primary ended with incumbents
Bruce Goeringer and Catherine Wega
joined by newcomers Colleen Slocum
and Larry Schuler as winners on both
party tickets. Fred Parry won a Re-
publican nomination and Jeff Tho-
mas a Democratic one...

WASHINGTON To hear
some Republican presidential
candidates tell it, the presidents
pen is a magic wand that can
make Obamacare vanish in one
day and sweep in cheaper health
care, economic growth and lots
of jobs in businesses freed from
the health care laws heavy hand.
But there is no such fairy dust
in Washington.
Across the board, the conten-
ders pledge to repeal the health
law they denigrate as Obama-
care. In doing so, some are more
realistic than others about what
they can achieve and how fast.
The Republican case against
the law comes with a dose of
myth-making that may raise false
hopes among voters who wish it
could, in fact, simply go poof. If
the overhaul is to fall, it wont
happen overnight with a new
GOP administration. Any dis-
mantling promises to be just as
muchof a slogas was its creation.
Mitt Romney has been the
most persistent in claiming that
as president, he would free states
fromthe laws requirements with
anexecutive order onhis first day
in charge, even though he would
have no authority to do so. Rick
Perry has heldout the prospect of
lower health insurance premi-
ums once the law is gone, citing
research that actually tells a
mostly different story.
Herman Cain would like to
turn repeal into a birthday pre-
sent of sorts. He says if Congress
moves fast enough hed sign the
repeal March23, 2013his sons
birthday and the third anniver-
sary of the laws signing.
All place the laws repeal as a
chief component of their plans to
grow the economy and jobs,
rightly notingthe overhauls myr-
iad regulations but overselling
the ability of one act of legislative
subtraction to lift all boats.
A look at some of the claims in
the Republican campaign and
howthey compare with the facts:
ROMNEY: One thingIddoon
Day One if Im elected president
is direct my secretary of health
and human services to put an ex-
ecutive order granting a waiver
from Obamacare to all 50 states.
It is badlaw. It will not work. And
Ill get that done on Day One.
Claimin Sept. 7 debate, which he
echoed in most other debates.
PERRY: And Ill promise you,
on Day One, as the president of
the United States, that executive
order will be signed and Obama-
care will be wiped out as much as
it can be. Sept. 7 debate.
CAIN: Im going to un-pass it
on my sons birthday. Nov. 2
forum with the GOPs Congres-
sional Health Care Caucus.
MICHELE BACHMANN:
Withall duerespect ... issuingan
executive order will not overturn
this massive law. Sept. 7 de-
bate.
THE FACTS: Bachmann is
right, and its not the first time
she corrected her rivals on the
matter.
A president cannot overturn a
law with an executive order.
Moreover, the health lawlays out
an onerous process for letting in-
dividual states off the hook from
its requirements; that process
cannot begin until 2017.
For a state tobe granteda waiv-
er, it must show that it will pro-
vide coverage that is at least as
comprehensive and affordable as
under the federal law. Also, a
state has to insure a comparable
number of its residents, and its
plan must not add to the federal
deficit by shifting costs to Wash-
ington. Finally, a state has to en-
act its own health law setting up
the systemenvisionedinits waiv-
er request.
Romneys assertion also im-
plies that all states would want to
get out of the health care law.
Thats a doubtful proposition for
Democratic-leaning states.
Cain recognizes that for the
law to be repealed, Congress
must act. But presidents dont set
the congressional calendar, and
even if Republicans can secure a
60-vote majority that gives them
control of the Senate, the train of
legislationseldomruns onsched-
ule.
ROMNEY: On Day One,

granting a waiver to all 50 states
doesnt stop in its tracks entirely
Obamacare. Thats why I also say
we have to repeal Obamacare,
and I will do that on Day Two
with a reconciliation bill, be-
cause, as you know, it was passed
by reconciliation, 51 votes. We
can get rid of it with 51votes.
Oct. 11 debate.
THEFACTS: This is a strategy
to undermine the lawby starving
it of money. Its only real chance is
if Republicans win congressional
majorities as well as the presiden-
cy or at the very least a rashof im-
probable Democratic defections
in Congress.
Although not a single-day pro-
ject, it represents one threat to
Obamas law, if one with political
risk and tough odds. Some core
parts of the law are not depend-
ent on annual budgeting.
Going beyond the budget proc-
ess to repeal the law in full is an
even steeper climb. It would re-
quire a larger Republican con-
gressional majority to move for-
ward and to clinch 60 votes in the
Senate all this as the law in-
creasingly takes root in the na-
tions medical and insurance sys-
tem.
The law extends coverage to
uninsured citizens and legal im-
migrants by providing tax credits
to help middle-class households
buy a policy and by expanding
Medicaid for low-income people.
It wouldrequire almost all people
to carry health insurance, either
through an employer, a govern-
ment program or by individual
purchase. It would set up health
insurance markets in every state
to make it easier for individuals
and small business to buy cover-
age. Its financed through tax in-
creases and Medicare cuts.
PERRY: According to CBOs

own calculations, repealing Oba-
macare will reduce the cost of
health insurance premiums and
reduce federal spending on
health care. His economic
plan.
THE FACTS: No one can be
The myths of Obamacare in GOP campaign
AP PHOTO
Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, speaks in Redmond, Wash. To hear some Republican
presidential candidates tell it, the presidents pen is a magic wand that can make Obamacare vanish in one day and sweep in cheaper
health care, economic growth and lots of jobs in businesses freed from the health care laws heavy hand. But there is no such fairy
dust in Washington. Across the board, the contenders pledge to repeal the overhaul. In doing so, some are more realistic than others
about what they can achieve and how fast.

sure what would happen with
premiums absent the health care
law, but Perrys use of a Congres-
sional Budget Office analysis was
selective, at best.
The nonpartisan congression-
al accountants forecast that re-
peal of the lawwouldraise premi-
ums for people who get coverage
from large-employer plans, not
lower them, and that premiums
could go either way for small-em-
ployer plans. About half the pop-
ulation is covered by such work-
based insurance.
The CBOsays repeal of the law
probably would result in lower
premiums inthe individual insur-
ance market, which covers about
4 percent of the population.
But there are important ca-
veats. Many policyholders would
probably end up paying more be-
cause they would not get the in-
surance subsidies provided un-
der the law, the analysis says.
Individual insurance policies
on average would provide fewer
benefits, and cover less of an en-
rollees health care expenses,
than will be provided by the in-
surance exchanges coming into
effect under the law.
The analysis also projected
that repealing the law would in-
crease the federal deficit.

MYTHS
Republican presidential candi-
date, Texas Gov. Rick Perry
speaks in Las Vegas.
Republican presidential candi-
date Herman Cain speaks on
Capitol Hill in Washington.
Republicans, only President
Gerald Ford in 1976 won both.
And though he then won the
next four primaries, challenger
Ronald Reagan mounted a
comeback that nearly won the
nomination.
If Romney wins both Iowa
and New Hampshire, hell only
wrap up the GOP nomination if
momentum enables him to
broaden his support in the next
contests in South Carolina and
Florida beyond that 25 percent
base. But if the anti-Romney
conservatives unite behind one
candidate, that candidate could
well defeat Romney. And with a
bankroll to survive early set-
backs, Perry remains most likely
to become that candidate.

s he was laying on the
ground, his leg aching
from a hard fall and his
arm bloodied from being spiked,
one thing kept running through
Brenden Ehrets mind.
Get up.
Thats what his older brother
would do.
Because as much as life keeps
knocking Corey Ehret down, the
cancer-stricken Dallas senior
never seems to give in or give
up.
He was there at the PIAA
cross country state champion-
ships in Hershey, standing tall
while shouting encouragement
to his twin brother Chris and to
Brenden along with the rest of
their Dallas teammates.
Hes out here cheering har-
der than anybody, Chris Ehret
said. Just seeing him makes
you want to do better.
There was a time Corey Ehret
did pretty well in the sport him-
self.
He was a pretty strong runner
three years before doctors diag-
nosed Corey with rhabdomyo-
sarcoma in 2008. Thats a fast-
growing, highly-malignant tu-
mor that takes the lives of
roughly 50 percent of the kids it
affects in five years. It first de-
veloped in Corey Ehrets cheek,
and didnt stop until it reached
his brain.
It spread, Chris Ehret said
sadly.
It never stopped Corey Ehret
from dispersing his excitement,
or ambition around the Dallas
cross country team, or injecting
the people around him with
energy everywhere he goes.
Even when hes lacking
strength himself.
Surgery? Chemotherapy?
Radiation?
Corey Ehrets been through
them all.
Yet, hes always at cross coun-
try practice, drawing strength
from watching others do what
he was once able to.
Hes out here every day,
Chris Ehret said. Just seeing
him out here make you want to
do better. If were hurting in the
middle of the race, its nothing
compared to what hes going
through.
Only the people closest to
Corey Ehret can know his pain.
Because on the outside, Corey
continues to live as the effer-
vescent kid hes always been. He
attends classes at Dallas for half
the day, then goes home and is
home schooled when his
strength lessens. Then he runs
out to watch his former team-
mates run.
But the physical toll cancer
puts on him never seems to
slow down, causing him so
much physical illness and an-
guish it sometimes makes his
family feel sick.
Its why I want to go to
school to become a pediatric
oncologist, Brenden Ehret said.
I want to figure out his cancer.
Because Im so mad I cant do
anything as a kid, watching my
brother suffer.
Brenden said this after taking
a hard tumble Saturday on the
PIAA course, where a whole line
of competitors went down and
he went for medical treatment
to repair his wounds following
the event.
But he couldnt stay on the
ground, not after watching his
older brother keep getting up
each day and pushing himself

LSU gained the inside track to
the BCS title game, beating No. 2
Alabama 9-6 on Drew Allemans
25-yard field goal in overtime af-
ter a fierce defensive struggle in
which neither team reached the
end zone Saturday night.
The Crimson Tide missed four
field goals, including Cade Fos-
ters 52-yard attempt after Alaba-
ma got the ball first in the extra
period. LSU appeared to win the
game on Michael Fords run
around left end after taking a
pitch, but he stepped out of
bounds at the 7.
After two plays gained noth-
ing, LSU (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern
Conference) sent on Alleman to
attempt his third field goal of the
game on third down. Alabama
(8-1, 5-1) tried to freeze him by
calling timeout, but he calmly
knocked it through to set off a
wild celebration by the visiting
team.

would be for next weekends
District 2 Class 3A playoffs.
That didnt stop the Comets
fromgivingafull effort Saturday
night as they piled up 453 yards
of offense in a 28-16 victory over
Coughlin in a Wyoming Valley
Conference Division 3A game.
RunningbackRoger Leggand
quarterback Nick Aigeldinger
led the victory. Legg rushed for
115 yards and two touchdowns.
Aigeldinger had180throughthe
air and 76 on the ground and
had an interception on defense.
Crestwood (8-2) was locked
into a D2-3Afirst-round game at
Valley View (9-1) next Friday
night. Yet Comets coach Greg
Myers said it wasnt hard to get
his team fired up for its regular-
season finale.
It really wasnt, Myers said
with a voice raspy from being
sick. We approached this game
as if we beat Coughlin, we beat
every single team in our divi-
sion. Thats what we set forth to
do tonight. We beat every team
in our division. Our kids ap-
proached this game like a divi-
sional championship game.
While Crestwood was the on-
ly team to defeat all WVC Divi-
sion 3A opponents, the title
went to Dallas (9-1) based on a
points systemset up by the con-
ference.
Coughlin (5-5) also knew it
would be playing next weekend

The one thing we didnt do

we just didnt do anything with
them, said Wilkes coach Frank

team force four turnovers but
only score seven points off
them.
But we had opportunities.
The Colonels, who finish the
season next week at home
against Stevenson, fell to 3-5
overall and 3-4 in the confer-

Without being able to convert
off a pair of first half turnovers

At 6-foot-3, 205 pounds,
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins winger Colin McDonald
prefers to use his size to
play a power forward game.
As a fantasy GM, he would
prefer that his players do
the same.
I like a tough, power for-
ward-type team, like any of
the teams in the East,
McDonald said.
Id model my team around
that.
He would also dive into the
Pittsburgh organization to
fill some key spots and turn
to his hometown roots to
add one more player who
many consider one of the
greatest to ever play the
game.
And, interestingly enough,
McDonald would leave one
roster spot empty because
the guys that play that role
dont get under his skin.
Forward Sidney Crosby
(Pittsburgh): Hes the best
player in the game. You cant
pass up a player like that.
Defense Nicklas Lidstrom
(Detroit): Hes experienced
and he plays every aspect of
the game. He does every-
thing exceptionally well.
Goaltender Marc-Andre
Fleury (Pittsburgh): Hes
won a Cup, still young and
has a lot of years left.
Power Play Specialist
Pavel Datsyuk (Detroit)
Penalty Kill Specialist
Ryan Kesler (Vancouver)
Shootout Specialist Corey
Perry (Anaheim)
Enforcer Steve MacIntyre
(Pittsburgh): Hes one of
the biggest, strongest guys
in the league.
Pest/Agitator None: I
dont even let those guys
bother me.
Head coach Dan Bylsma
(Pittsburgh): From the little
time Ive spent with him, I
can understand why teams
are so successful under
him.
All-Time Great Gordie
Howe (Detroit, Hartford):
Im a little biased because
Im from Hartford and he
played there for a little bit.
He did everything and played
until he was over 50.
Tom Venesky
Fantasy GM
Colin McDonald
Penguins winger
Jason Williams is a psychic on the ice.
He can see into the future and predict
whats going to happen.
At least, that seems to be the case when
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins for-
ward mans the point on the power play.
In his four games this season, Williams
has five points (one goal, four assists).
Four of those a goal and three assists,
have come on the power play.
Not bad, but it gets even better.
Williams has scored
93 goals in 447 career
NHL games. Of those,
more than a third (32)
have come on the power
play.
So how does he do it?
Bythinkingahead, ac-
cording to Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton coach
John Hynes.
One of the things
with a great power play
player is they know
what theyre going to do
with the puck before
they get it, Hynes said.
Instead of getting the
puck and then making a
decision, he gets it and
already knows where
its going.
Its a skill hes been
able to develop and one
reason why he spent a
lot of time in the NHL.
Its a skill that Wil-
liams said he developed
through experience,
having confidence and
learning from some
great teachers early in his career.
Williams spent the first six of his 10
NHLseasons withthe Detroit RedWings,
from 2001 to 2007. Those Detroit teams
were stocked with superstars and Hall of
Famers, and Williams was an eager stu-
dent, learning from the likes of Steve
Yzerman, Chris Chelios and Nicklas Lid-
strom.
The latter, Williams said, taught him
the most.
Lidstrom is probably one of the best
power play guys around. He never panics
with the puck and he finds the lane all the
time to get his shots through, he said.
Thats a huge aspect of it and I still work
on that to this day.
Just like he plans ahead what he will do
with the puck, Williams finds open lanes
by predicting when they will clear. He
does it by watching how the penalty kill
sets up, spotting the tendencies of his op-
ponents and picking them apart.
Finding an open lane and getting a shot
through is a critical power play skill, Wil-
liams said, because so many penalty kill-
ers are good at blocking shots.
Getting just one shot through an open
lane is so important, he said, because it
can send a penalty kill into disarray.
You get shots through the open lane it
makes their D turn around and that cre-
ates confusion, Williams said. Thats
the main thing get shots through, get
their penalty kill running around and
those lanes will be open.
Although Williams has only played in
21 AHL games since 2003 compared to
272 NHL contests in that span, he sees a
major difference betweenthe power plays
and the game in general at each level.
In the AHL, positioning isnt as refined
and players get by with fast, aggressive
skating, relying on their speed and work
ethic to make up for any turnovers.
But try that in the NHL and Williams
said there is usually just one result.
You make a turnover there and the
puck ends up in the back of your net, he
said. Inthe NHL, guys are inthe right po-
sitions all the time.
And proper positioning is another as-
pect that allows Williams to know what
hes going to do with the puck before it
lands on his blade.
With only four games under his belt
with the Penguins heading into Fridays
contest, Williams is still learning the
tendencies of his power play teammates.
He relies on communication to make sure
he knows where everybody will be and
they know what hes going to do.
If it all works as planned, chances are
Williams teammates will be reaping the
benefits.
Players such as Colin McDonald, who
has spent time on Williams power play
unit, couldbe one of those beneficiaries of
being in the right place.
Colin is a bog body and hes good at
getting into position in front of the net,
Williams said.
Ill talk to himbefore a power play and
tell him if I see him there, Im going to
work to get that shot through. Anytime
one of my teammates gets in front of the
net, I want to try to reward their hard
work.
While a hamstring injury forced Wil-
liams to miss the start of the season and
the majority of training camp with Pitts-
burgh, he said he is back to 100 percent.
The power play success may be his ticket
back to the NHL, but Williams said thats
not his main focus.
In the first two weekends Ive played
we have four wins. Thats more important
than anything, he said. Im worried
about what I can do here, right now, to
help this team win.
If I get the call, great. Until then Im
going to make the best of my opportuni-
ties here.
In just four games, Jason Williams has already sparked the Penguins power play
Using his powers
Jason Williams has played 447 NHL games but this season is providing some punch for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins. After missing time at the start of the season, the 31-year-old Williams is fueling the Penguins power play.

One of the things with a great power play player is they know
what theyre going to do with the puck before they get it. In-
stead of getting the puck and then making a decision, he gets it
and already knows where its going. Its a skill hes been able to
develop and one reason why he spent a lot of time in the NHL.

The crowd of more than
100,000 at Bryant-Denny Stadi-
um most of them dressed in
crimson sat in stunned silence
as LSU celebrated its victory in
only the 23rd regular-season
matchup between the top two
teams in The Associated Press
rankings.
LSUstill must winits last three
regular-season games No. 8
Arkansas is the toughest test
and then would have to get
through the SEC championship
game. But the Tigers are the clear
favorite after winning another
huge game away from home,
emerging with the victory in a
matchup between the two teams
generally considered the best in
the land.
Alabama will long be moaning
about howthis one got away. Fos-
ter missed two first-quarter field
goals, and Jeremy Shelley had
oneblockedbeforeShelleyfinally
made one from34yards. Alleman
kicked a 19-yarder on the final
play of the first half, leaving the
teams tied at 3 even though the
Crimson Tide clearly had the up-
per hand.
Interceptions set up both field
goals in the second half. Foster
made one from46 yards after Jar-
rett Lee threw his second pick of
the game, then Alleman connect-
ed from 30 yards after Alabamas
AJ McCarron made an ill-timed
throw.

IOWA CITY, Iowa Michi-
gans Denard Robinson had four
shots at the potential game-
tying touchdown with 16 sec-
onds left and three yards to go.
Nothing, nothing, nothing,
nothing.
Iowas struggling defense
stopped the electrifying quar-
terback each time, and the
13th-ranked Wolverines were
stuck with a 24-16 loss to Iowa
on Saturday that damaged their
Big Ten title game hopes.
Marcus Coker ran for 132
yards and a pair of touchdowns,
while James Vandenberg added
171 yards passing and a TD for
the Hawkeyes (6-3, 3-2 Big
Ten), who have won three
straight over Michigan for the
first time in school history.
Michigan (7-2, 3-2) drove 79
yards to Iowas 3-yard line on its
final drive. But Robinson mis-
sed on four straight throws,
with Iowas B.J. Lowery break-
ing up Robinsons final toss to
seal the win.
They showed a lot of heart,
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.
Its almost better that we end-
ed the game that way because
thats a tough circumstance,
certainly, and youre kind of
rolling the dice a little bit be-
cause (Robinson) is a danger-
ous thrower but also he can
squirt out of there and run that
ball in there.
Iowas defense bent on the
final drive in fact, it nearly
broke.
But a couple of calls went the
Hawkeyes way, and a defense
that couldnt stop Minnesota in
the fourth quarter in an upset
loss last week did the rest.
Vincent Smith appeared to
pull the Wolverines within
24-22 on an 82-yard TD run
after bouncing off Iowas James
Morris and going untouched for
the score with just over two
minutes left.
Replay officials, however,
ruled Morris elbow had tou-
ched the ground. Robinson
shook it off and calmly drove
the Wolverines down the field.
Then, in the final sequence,
Junior Hemingways apparent
TD grab was ruled out of
bounds, and Smith dropped one
in the end zone on the next
play.
Robinson couldnt connect
with Roy Roundtree on fourth
down, sending the jubilant
Hawkeyes streaming onto the
field.
Robinson finished 17-of-37
passing for 194 yards and two
TD passes.
We cant leave the game to
the officials. Weve got to do it
ourselves, Robinson said.
Cokers second touchdown, a
13-yard run with 10:42 left, put
Iowa ahead 24-9. Robinson
wasted little time answering,
finding Kevin Koger for a 7-yard
touchdown pass that pulled
Michigan within 24-16 with 7:53
to go.
Iowa, which was gashed for a
pair of fourth-quarter TDs in
last weeks 22-21 loss at Minne-
sota, stalled on their last two
drives and gave Robinson one
more shot to win it.
But he didnt, and now Michi-
gan sits a game back of Michi-
gan State in the division race
with the Spartans holding a
tiebreaker edge thanks to a
28-14 win over the Wolverines
on Oct. 15.
Northwestern 28,
No. 9 Nebraska 25
LINCOLN, Neb. Second-
string quarterback Kain Colter
ran for two touchdowns and
passed for another to lead
Northwestern to a 28-25 upset
of No. 9 Nebraska on Saturday.
Filling in for injured starter
Dan Persa in the second half,
Colter scored from the 1 with
1:34 left to finish a 13-play,
66-yard drive that chewed more
than 7 minutes off the clock
after the Cornhuskers had
pulled to 21-18.
Taylor Martinez, who passed
for 289 yards and two scores,
hurriedly moved Nebraska (7-2,
3-2 Big Ten) down the field. He
hit Kenny Bell for a 14-yard
touchdown with 18 seconds to
play, but Charles Brown reco-
vered the onside kick and
Northwestern (4-5, 2-4) ran out
the clock.
Persa injured his left shoulder
in the second quarter when he
was slammed to the ground by
Eric Martin. Persa tried to play
a couple more series, but he
was on the sideline with his left
arm in a sling after halftime.
The loss to the 17-point un-
derdog Wildcats dropped Ne-
braska into a second-place tie
with Iowa and Michigan in the
Big Tens Legends Division.
Michigan State moved into sole
possession of first place with its
win over Minnesota.
Colter, who typically shares
playing time with Persa at quar-
terback, took all but four snaps
in the second half. He ran for 58
yards and completed four of six
passes for 115 yards. Third-
string quarterback Trevor Sie-
mian came in and went 3 of 4
for 67 yards.
Jeremy Ebert caught six
passes for a career-high 147
yards and went over the 2,000-
yard mark for his career on an
81-yard touchdown play that
put the Wildcats up 21-10 early
in the fourth quarter.
Northwesterns maligned
defense, which had been giving
up 32 points and 432 yards a
game, bottled up Nebraska
running back Rex Burkhead
and forced two costly turnovers
in the first half.
Ohio State 34, Indiana 20
COLUMBUS, Ohio Brax-
ton Miller ran for two scores
including a record 81-yarder and
Travis Howard ended Indianas
last chance at tying it with an
interception, leading Ohio State
to a 34-20 victory on Saturday.
The victory was the third in a
row for the Buckeyes (6-3, 3-2
Big Ten), but it didnt come
easy.
Not until Howard picked off
Tre Robersons pass at the Ohio
State 28 with 4:07 left were the
Buckeyes assured of the win.
Three Buckeyes topped 100
yards rushing: Dan Herron with
141 yards on 14 carries, Carlos
Hyde with 105 on 15 and Miller
with 105 on 14. Hyde added a
clinching touchdown after the
interception.
Roberson rushed for 84 yards
and passed for 174 and a touch-
down for the Hoosiers (1-9,
0-6), who lost their seventh in a
row.
No. 15 Michigan State 31,
Minnesota 24
EAST LANSING, Mich.
LeVeon Bells 35-yard touch-
down run with 10:58 remaining
helped No. 15 Michigan State
hold off upset-minded Minneso-
ta 31-24 on Saturday.
Bell ran for 96 yards and two
touchdowns, and Kirk Cousins
threw for 296 yards and a pair
of TDs. The Spartans (7-2, 4-1
Big Ten) trailed 24-21 after
three quarters before rallying.
MarQueis Gray threw three
touchdown passes to DaJon
McKnight for the Golden Goph-
ers (2-7, 1-4), who upset Iowa
last weekend but were unable
to shake up the conference title
race again.
With the score tied at 24, Bell
found running room to the right
and went all the way to the end
zone to put the Spartans ahead.
Minnesota had the ball at the
Michigan State 45 with 15 sec-
onds left, but Gray threw an
interception.
No. 20 Wisconsin 62,
Purdue 17
MADISON, Wis. Montee
Ball rushed for a career-high
223 yards with three touch-
downs and Wisconsin rebound-
ed from back-to-back losses
with a 62-17 rout of Purdue on
Saturday.
Russell Wilson threw two
touchdowns and scored on a
scramble for the Badgers (7-2,
3-2 Big Ten). The lopsided
victory was a boost to the Badg-
ers after their late collapses at
Michigan State and Ohio State
the past two weeks.
Raheem Mostert had five
kickoff returns for 206 yards for
the Boilermakers (4-5, 2-3),
helping them stay in the game
early on. Caleb TerBush started
at quarterback for Purdue, with
Robert Marve also getting some
time.
Wilson was 15 of 20 for 205
yards, and had 76 yards rushing
for the Badgers before coach
Bret Bielema rested him early
in the fourth quarter.

Teddy Bridgewater threw for
one touchdown, Andrew John-
son returned a blocked field
goal for another score and
Louisville shocked No. 24 West
Virginia 38-35 Saturday.
Not expected to be a factor in
the Big East this season, the
surprising Cardinals (5-4, 3-1)
won their third straight in a
tight race and dealt a severe
blow to West Virginias title
chances.
Louisville also got a payback
of sorts after being overlooked
in the recent Big 12 expansion
sweepstakes, a bid that went to
the Mountaineers.
Geno Smith threw for 410
yards and three scores but
couldnt bring the Mountain-
eers (6-3, 2-2) back from10
points down in the fourth quar-
ter.
West Virginia will likely need
to win its final three games
against Cincinnati, Pittsburgh
and South Florida and get some
help to have a shot at the
leagues BCS berth.
Cincinnati 26, Pittsburgh 24
PITTSBURGH Zach Colla-
ros threw for 214 yards and ran
for two touchdowns as No. 23
Cincinnati took firm control of
the Big East race with a win
over Pittsburgh.
Isaiah Pead rushed for 118
yards and Tony Miliano kicked
four field goals for the Bearcats
(7-1, 3-0 Big East), who won
their sixth straight and took a
significant step toward winning
the programs third conference
title in four years.
Pitt (4-5, 2-2) led by 10 early
in the third quarter but a pair of
turnovers deep in its own terri-
tory allowed Cincinnati to get
back in the game.
Tino Sunseri ran for a touch-
down and passed for another
but Kevin Harpers 50-yard field
goal attempt with 14 seconds
left was wide right.
No. 4 Stanford 38,
Oregon State 13
CORVALLIS, Ore. Andrew
Luck shook off the rain and the
chill to throw for 206 yards and
three touchdowns in No. 4
Stanfords victory over Oregon
State.
The victory was costly for the
Cardinal, who lost senior re-
ceiver Chris Owusu to a concus-
sion in the second quarter after
a helmet-to-helmet collision
with Beavers cornerback Jordan
Poyer. Owusu was taken from
the field by ambulance.
Stanford (9-0, 7-0 Pac-12)
extended the nations longest
winning streak to 17 games.
The Cardinal have not opened
9-0 since 1952.
Next week, the Cardinal host
No. 6 Oregon in a game that
could decide the Pac-12 Norths
representative in the leagues
inaugural championship game.
Luck completed 20 of 30
passes with one interception.
He upped his touchdown pass
total to 26, six shy of his own
school record set last year, by
spreading it around and con-
necting for scores with Coby
Fleener, Stepfan Taylor and
Griff Whalen.
No. 7 Oklahoma 41,
Texas A&M25
NORMAN, Okla. Landry
Jones threw two touchdown
passes and Roy Finch and Blake
Bell added short TD runs on
consecutive possessions and
No. 7 Oklahoma pulled away
from Texas A&M.
The Sooners (8-1, 5-1 Big 12)
led just 13-10 at halftime, but
Texas A&M (5-4, 3-3) had its
second-half troubles continue
the Aggies gave up big sec-
ond-half leads in its previous
three losses.
The Aggies, headed for the
Southeastern Conference, wont
miss coming to Norman.
Theyre now 0-7 on Owen Field
during the Bob Stoops era; the
previous six losses had come by
an average of 41 points.
No. 18 Georgia 63,
New Mexico State 16
ATHENS, Ga. Aaron Mur-
ray threw five second-quarter
touchdown passes, former
walk-on receiver Brandon Har-
ton ran for 98 yards and No. 18
Georgia won its seventh
straight game by cruising past
New Mexico State.
The Bulldogs (7-2) turned to
Harton this week after Isaiah
Crowell and Carlton Thomas
were suspended one game for
failing a drug test. Georgia was
also without top reserve tail-
back Richard Samuel, who will
miss the next month after un-
dergoing ankle surgery.
But with Murray running the
offense, Georgia had little rea-
son for concern against New
Mexico State (3-6).
UCLA 29, Arizona St. 28
PASADENA, Calif. Der-
rick Coleman scored the go-
ahead touchdown for UCLA on
a 1-yard run with 49 seconds to
play, and Alex Garoutte missed
a 46-yard field goal attempt as
time expired in the Bruins
victory over No. 20 Arizona
State.
Colemans dive capped a
perilous 79-yard drive featuring
a fumble by Coleman, an offen-
sive pass-interference penalty
and a third-and-29 conversion
by the Bruins (5-4, 4-2 Pac-12),
who improbably moved into
first place in the Pac-12 South
for the first time since early last
season.
Brock Osweiler passed for
264 yards and moved the Sun
Devils 47 yards in 38 seconds to
set up Garouttes final attempt,
but the freshman pushed it
wide right his second miss of
the half.
Osweiler rallied Arizona
State from a nine-point deficit
in the second half, capping a
93-yard drive with a 1-yard TD
dive with 7:48 left.
Arkansas 44,

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.
Tyler Wilson threw for 299

No. 8 Arkansas held on for a

Jarius Wright added four

Johnson had a 98-yard kickoff
return for a touchdown for the
Razorbacks, who won their fifth
straight.

yards passing for Hawaii from
2000-04. Keenum finished the
game with 17,212 yards passing.
Houston (9-0 overall, 5-0

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.
Tommy Rees threw two touch-
down passes and Notre Dame
shut out Wake Forest in the sec-
ond half of its 24-17 victory on
Saturday night.
Rees was 14 of 23 for 166 yards
with scoring passes of 38 yards to
Tyler Eifert and 16 yards to Mi-
chael Floyd. Jonas Gray added a
1-yard touchdown run for the
Irish (6-3).
They outgained the Demon
Deacons 341-297, scored on their
first two possessions of the sec-
ond half and held on to win their
second straight.
Tanner Price was 17 of 24 for
187 yards with a 20-yard touch-
down pass to Brandon Pender-
grass. Josh Harris added a 2-yard
touchdown run for Wake Forest
(5-4), which led 17-10 at halftime
but has lost three of four.
Twice in the second half, the
Demon Deacons had the ball at
the Notre Dame 10 while down
by a touchdown and they
came away with no points.
Wake Forest squandered Josh
Bushs long interception return
midway through the third quar-
ter when Pendergrass fumbled at
the Irish 9. Wake Forest then had
a first-and-goal from the 10 mid-
way through the fourth, but lost
15 yards on its next three plays
and David Newmans 42-yard
field goal sailed wide right with
5:24 left.
Gray and Cierre Wood then
took over on the ground for the
Irish, who ran out the clock.
Gray finished with 92 yards for
the Irish, who took the lead for
good with their strong start to
the half. The senior tied it at 17
when he took a pitch untouched
around left end for his ninth
touchdown of the season. That
came two plays after Gray ap-
peared to score from 26 yards
out, but an official review deter-
mined his elbowtouched the turf
inside the 1-yard line.
Notre Dame went backtowork
1
1
2 minutes later, with Woods 27-
yard run up the middle setting up
Rees go-ahead touchdown pass.
Floyd slipped behind a pair of
Wake Forest defenders and
pulled down a perfectly thrown
ball in the right corner of the end
zone before 6 minutes had
elapsed in the half.
Ball security has been a prob-
lemall year for the Irish, who en-
tered ranked 118th nationally in
turnover margin, and it looked
like the DemonDeacons were go-
ing to make them pay for Rees
second interception to Bush be-
fore Pendergrass costly fumble
swung momentum back to the
Irish.

WILKES-BARRETWP. Be-
fore Saturday afternoons game
at McCarthyStadium, thefans in
attendance andKings players on
the field reeled off their own ren-
dition of the national anthembe-
cause the music didnt start.
That turnedout tobe the most
excitement the Monarchs fans
and players would enjoy.
The contest that followed
wasnt very good for the home
team, as it hurt itself on several
occasions dropping a 17-3 deci-
sion to FDU-Florham. The Dev-
ils (1-8, 1-6 MAC) notched their
first win of the season.
The loss dropped the Mon-
archs to1-7 overall and1-6 in the
conference as 11 seniors played
their final home game on senior
day.
I feel bad for the seniors. I
wish there were more of them,
but they have helped mold 55
freshmen to carry this program
forward, Kings coach Jeff
Knarr said. Theyve done that
as theyre outmanned 5-to-1, but
theres just not enough older
guys.
On the opening drive of the
game, Kings showed it could
move the ball at will against the
Devils, driving into their territo-
ry down to the 24. But freshman
quarterback Bryant Klein was
sacked, lost the ball and FDUre-
covered.
The Monarchs defense looked
stellar on their first chances on
the field, holding the Devils to
just 3 yards and forcing a three-
and-out. On the following punt,
Jay Torres returned the kick 13
yards but fumbledandFDUreco-
vered again.
This time, FDU made Kings
pay for the turnover, scoring a
touchdown to go up 7-0 with just
9:02 left in the first quarter.
It was that kind of day for the
Monarchs.
Obviously we had some mo-
mentumthere and we gave them
the momentum back, Knarr
said.
In the third quarter with
Kings trailing by 14, the Mon-
archs got good field position on
the FDU38. Anillegal block pen-
alty, a sack and an interception
thrownby Kleinonthe FDUgoal
line ended the threat.
Klein (11-of-18, 96 yards) was
pulled in the fourth quarter for
senior Joe Kirchon, who went 7-
of-10 for 106 yards on just two
drives.
Hes not equipped to gun-
sling yet. Hes a run-first kind of
guy and he has to learn with that
and get better with that, Knarr
saidof Klein. Joe knows hes not
really a runner so hes going to
throw it.
We told Klein this had noth-
ing to do with his performance.
Its about where we are in the
game and we need to go to try
and move the ball.
With 6:41left in the game, Kir-
chon sparked two more rallies.
He took the team63 yards on his
first drive going down to the
FDU 9 before a turnover on
downs. Then on the final drive,
the senior helped Kings gain 35
more yards to get to the Devils
17 before being picked off to seal
the win for FDU.
Were moving the ball up and
down the field and then we just
kill ourselves, Knarr said.
There are things where we left a
lot of points on the board today,
and give FDUcredit. They made
things happen and we just mis-
fired.
We have two more weeks left
to start firing on all cylinders.

The Dutchmen got on the
board first taking the opening
kickoff and driving 62 yards in
just sixplays and2:14. BenGuiles
scored on a 29-yard run to give
Lebanon Valley a 6-0 lead.
Wilkes answered right back as
Alex George found Auxence Wo-
gou for 17-yard touchdown pass
and a 7-6 Colonels lead midway
through the first quarter.
Then came the Colonels first
big opportunity in the game
when Guiles fumbled the ensu-
ing kickoff and Wilkes Tate
Moore-Jacobs jumped on the ball
at the Dutchmen 48.
The Colonels went three and
out, however, and Lebanon Val-
ley scored just 1:21 later.
Driving 77 yards in four plays,
the Dutchmen scored on a 47-
yard pass play from Colt Zarilla
to Tim Picerno for a 13-7 lead
with 4:31 left in the first quarter.
George put the Colonels back
on top 14-13 early in the second
with a 7-yard touchdown pass.
Zarilla then ran for a touch-
down and threw for another to
put the Dutchmen up 27-14 with
just 1:41 in the half.
George drove the Colonels to
the Dutchmen nine with under
30 seconds left in half, but Geof-
frey Arentz missed wide right on
a 35-yard field goal attempt.
The Colonels quarterback fin-
ished the game 28-of-46 for 272
with two touchdowns and an in-
terception.
Healsoranfor twomoretouch-
downs and 109 yards.
He is a dual-threat guy, Shep-
tock said. Im pleased with the
competitiveness of him. Thats
an intangible quality of his that
hehis continuingtodevelopandI
think he is going to be a great
one.
The Colonels scored on the
opening drive of the second half
as George capped a six-play, 52-
yard drive with a 1-yard touch-
down run to cut the lead to 27-21.
But the Dutchmen picked up the
next two scores to go up 42-21
with 8:53 to play.
Zach Tivald and George closed
out the scoring with touchdown
runs for Wilkes.
The team really battled back
in the second half, Sheptock
said. I dont thinkwe necessarily
played our best ball in the first
half.
"I thought theyrespondedvery
well in the third quarter with giv-
ing us a chance to get back into
the game and to take the lead.
The team has a lot of heart
and a lot of character.

WILKES-BARRE No play-
off berths were on the line but at
Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium
Saturday, Tunkhannock and Ho-
ly Redeemer were still playing
for something exclusive their
first mark in the win column.
In a battle between the two re-
maining winless teams in the
Wyoming Valley Conference,
Tunkhannock outlasted Holy
Redeemer 33-23 in what proved
to be a hard-fought contest. The
Royals finishedtheir secondcon-
secutive year without a victory.
The Tigers jumped out to a
27-6 lead at halftime and averted
a second-half comeback for their
first win defeating the same Roy-
als squad in Week10 last season.
It was a great way to finish a
difficult year for these kids, said
Tunkhannock coach Rod Azar,
whose teamreturnedonly twoof
its offensive starters from 2010.
They fought all year. They were
outmatched all year long. Today,
they hada chance to go out there
and get a win.
After Holy Redeemer scored
16 straight points to make it a
one-possession game, Tunkhan-
nock rattled a drive of 8:53 that
yielded a 2-yard Andy Muckin
rushing touchdown. Playing
with nothing to lose, the Tigers
converted three fourth-down
plays during the fourth-quarter
drive.
Azar said he was afraid to give
the ball back to Holy Redeemer
senior quarterback David Gaw-
las, who finished with 155 yards
in the air and 73 on the ground.
Theywere movingthe ball on
us, Azar said. (Gawlas) is a hell
of an athlete, and he was hurting
us on defense and on offense.
Prior to Tunkhannocks long
drive, Holy Redeemer looked
nothing like a 0-10 team in the
third quarter. Gawlas teamed up
with Seth Tarselli (six recep-
tions, 108 yards) for 22- and 30-
yard passing touchdowns.
I understand thats no wins,
but we put some nice numbers
this year, saidfirst-year HolyRe-
deemer coach Joe Ostrowski.
Were going to finish the confer-
ence first in passing yards, and
thats something to build upon
moving on to next year.
The Tigers were carried by a
pair of 100-yard rushers. Zack
Edmonson garnered 187 yards
and two touchdowns, and Josh
Robinson picked up 146 yards
and a score.
Holy Redeemer battled inju-
ries to its offensive line and re-
ceiving corps, forcing the Royals
to throw to their second- and
third-string wideouts.
We seen as much adversity as
a teamcould go through with in-
juries, said Ostrowski. Over
the course of the season, we lost
three excellent players. Thats
hard for a team with as few guys
as we have.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. When
the Binghamton Senators scored
a power-play goal with less than
two minutes remaining to even
things up against the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins on Sat-
urday, Colin McDonald took it
personally.
McDonaldwas onthe ice when
the Senators tied things up1-1to
force overtime.
I was upset, he said.
But McDonald redeemed him-
self in a big way, scoring a goal in
the first round of the shootout to
helpleadthePenguins toa2-1vic-
tory.
ThewinthePenguins sixthin
a row, improves their record to 7-
3-1-1. Norfolks loss on Saturday
alsomoves thePenguins intofirst
place inthe East Division.
Insixroadconteststhisseason,
thePenguins haveyet tolose, and
Thiessen has been a big reason
why.
In all six of his starts on the
road, Thiessen has allowed no
more than one goal in five of
those.
On Saturday, Thiessen en-
gagedinagoaltenders battlewith
Binghamtons RobinLehner.
In the first period, Lehner
snatched a Carl Sneep shot out of
midair to take away an open net.
In the second, Thiessen stuffed
Derek Grant to stifle a Bingham-
tontwo-on-one.
The Penguins got on the board
first when Zach Sill and Brandon
DeFazio exchanged favors in the
second period. With the puck in
the Binghamton zone, Sill left a
drop pass for DeFazio, who blast-
eda shot just wide.
Seconds later, DeFazio gained
thepuckintheoffensivezoneand
waited for Sill to skate in before
dishing a pass that he buried be-
hind Lehner for a 1-0 lead. The
goal marked the seventh straight
game that the Penguins scored
first.
For almost three periods it
looked like the lead would stick
and Thiessen would record his
secondconsecutive shutout.
That was until thelast twomin-
utes, when things came unglued
after a Joey Mormina interfe-
rence call at 18:06. That gave
Binghamton a late power play,
which they used to finally get a
puckpast Thiessenandshockthe
Penguins by sendingthe game in-
to overtime tied1-1.
After a scoreless overtime, the
Penguins got back on track in the
shootout, outscoring the Sen-
ators 3-2 on goals from McDo-
nald, Bryan Lerg and Niko Dimi-
trakos.
The win was the first for the
Penguins in Binghamton since
the 2009-10 season, and it was
Thiessensfirst winat theBroome
Veterans Memorial Arena.
McDonald said it felt good,
even if the victory did take some
extra work. Im having the most
fun Ive had in a long time, he
said. Were finding ways to win
games. Thats what good teams
do.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
Hanging from the steel frame-
work at the home of the New En-
gland Patriots is a banner unlike
any other in the NFL, one that
commemorates their 16-0 record
in the 2007 regular season.
Perfection.
Almost.
The Patriots won every game
that season and the first two in
the playoffs as well, givingthema
chancetobethefirst NFLteamto
finish the year 19-0. But their
quest for perfection disintegrat-
ed along with their hopes for a
fourth title in seven years
when they ran into the NewYork
Giants in the Super Bowl.
Weve won them, weve lost
them, but theyre all in the past;
theyre in the books, Patriots
coach Bill Belichick said. What-
ever happened or didnt happen,
cant change it, its part of history.
Right nowImfocused on getting
ready for this weeks game. Thats
the way it is every week: focus on
the week that were playing, not
what happened in the past.
The Giants and Patriots will
play again Sunday the first
time theyve met in a game that
counts since New York won the
Super Bowl 17-14 with two
fourth-quarter touchdowns, in-
cluding the one by Plaxico Bur-
ress with35seconds left set upby
David Tyrees acrobatic catch. Al-
though the teams have different
emotions about that game, they
agree the 2007 season and the 08
Super Bowl are too far in the past
to help them plan for this week-
end.
If we were still living in the
shadowof 2007, thenthats oneof
our greatest downfalls, defen-
sive lineman Justin Tuck said.
We have to move on. ... Obvious-
ly, 2007 was a great year in all of
our careers, but thats not going
to help us going there this year. A
lot of guys are back from those
two teams and a lot of guys are
gone.
The better team this year is
going to win the football game,
not the better team in 07.
There are only 14 players left
from the Super Bowl on the Gi-
ants now; for New England, its
just seven. But some of the big
names remain, includingquarter-
backs Tom Brady and Eli Man-
ning.
Thats a distant memory,
Brady said. This is an entirely
different team that we have and
that they have. ... Weve played
them in the preseason this year
and that probably gives us a little
more of an understanding of
what they do thenthe game a few
years ago.
The Giants (5-2) and Patriots
(5-2) both have impressive re-
cords andstill plenty of reason
to doubt they are on the right
track.
The Patriots lost to Pittsburgh
on Sunday in a game that further
exposed their NFL-worst de-
fense. Brady threw for a season-
low 198 yards against the Steel-
ers.
New York barely slipped by
winless Miami last week, getting
a touchdown pass from Manning
to Victor Cruz with just under 6
minutes left to take the lead. Two
key offensive players, running
back Ahmad Bradshaw and wide
receiver Hakeem Nicks, are
banged-up and might not play.
Its been a few years, so obvi-
ously nowwere more focused on
trying to get back to those cir-
cumstances, Manning said.
Our focus is on this weeks game
and getting ready for the Patri-
ots.
Coach Tom Coughlin doesnt
spend a whole lot of time think-
ing about it not even this
week.
It seems like a long time ago,
he said. I certainly was very
proud of our players and very
happy for our team and our fran-
chise and our ownership, and Ill
always cherish those memories.
There isnt any a question about
that.
The New England Patriots
were a team that had gone
through the regular season unde-
feated, whichis a feat that is very,
very, very rare indeed, and they
deserve credit for that. Thats the
extent of it for me. Im trying to
live in the moment.
Moving past a historic Super Bowl finish
If we were still living in the shadow of 2007, then
thats one of our greatest downfalls. ... Obviously,
2007 was a great year in all of our careers, but
thats not going to help us going there this year.

PITTSBURGH Mike Wal-
lace kept waiting for things to get
better. Kept thinking at some
point the Pittsburgh Steelers
would turn it around.
Yet as the minutes passed, the
turnovers piled up seven in all
and the Baltimore Ravens sa-
vored every last second of their
35-7 whipping of the defending
AFC champions in the season
opener, the wide receiver and the
rest of his teammates coulddolit-
tle more thansit there andtake it.
No question it still hurts,
Wallace said.
And no question two months
later the Steelers consider the
beatdown a gift.
Heading into Sundays re-
match at Heinz Field, Wallace
points to Baltimores raucous cel-
ebrationas thewake-upcall need-
ed to shake the Steelers out of
their post-Super Bowl stupor.
It kind of made us see where
we were, Wallace said. Every-
body said it was over for us.
Hardly.
Pittsburgh (6-2) has ripped off
four straight wins and sits atop
the AFC North while the Ravens
(5-2) have been uneven at best. If
theyre not crushing the Steelers
or the Jets theyre losing to Jack-
sonville and Tennessee and
struggling to rally past Arizona.
Yet a win on Sunday would
give the Ravens a season sweep
over their rivals for the first time
since 2006 and put them on the
inside track to win the division.
I look at it like weve got to
win because theyre not going to
lose again if they beat us, Steel-
ers linebacker Larry Foote said.
If the Steelers didnt like the
waytheRavens enjoyedtheopen-
er, odds are theyre not going to
like what happens late Sunday
night if Baltimore does it again.
Not that the Ravens care. Not
after the Steelers knocked them
out of the playoffs in two of the
last three seasons.
We remember how they par-
tied after they won the AFC
championship twice, linebacker
Terrell Suggs said. In 2008, we
remember seeing them party.
And last year after they beat us,
we remember seeing them party.
We dont really care. ... If you win
the game, I guess you get to cele-
brate how you want to.
While players on both sides
have done a good job of down-
playing the impact of the opener,
Suggs just cant help himself.
Theres noteamhe enjoys beat-
ing more than the Steelers. He
considers Heinz Field his version
of Madison Square Garden and
joked he owned Pittsburgh
quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
after sacking him three times in
the opener.
Looking back, Suggs figures
maybe he went overboard. But
only a little.
No man owns anybody but if
there is anybody that can bring
himdownbythemselves, its defi-
nitely me, Suggs said.
The Steelers stress, however,
theyre hardly the same teamthat
looked overmatched and out-
manned on Sept. 11.
The restructured offensive line
has found some consistency after
early season injury issues, Wal-
lace has continued his evolution
intooneof theleagues topreceiv-
ers and the defense is back to its
usual dominant self, holding
New England and quarterback
TomBrady to 213 yards in a 25-17
win last week.
All positive developments to
be sure. All of which will mean
nothing if the Steelers back down
on national television.
More stunning than the score
inBaltimores rompinthe opener
is the way the Ravens won. They
punished the Steelers for 60 min-
utes, pushing Pittsburgh around
in ways few teams have over the
last five decades.
If the Steelers are to push back,
theyll have to do it with a patch-
work linebacker corps. Stars
James Harrison(eye), James Far-
rior (calf) and LaMarr Woodley
(hamstring) are all questionable,
leaving Lawrence Timmons as
the sole healthy starter.
Coach Mike Tomlin insists he
isnt desperate, but he also didnt
rule out abandoning the teams
3-4 defense to go to a 4-3 scheme.
Such a drastic makeover is un-
likely. Besides, there are no real
secrets betweenthese twoteams.
We know the way they play;
they knowthe way we play, Rav-
ens linebacker Ray Lewis said.
We know theyre going to try to
get (Wallace) on a deep ball be-
hind us. There (are) no secrets
with us. Whether they try or not,
were prepared for it.

The Steelers and wide receiver
Mike Wallace (17) are looking for
redemption in tonights re-
match against the Ravens at
Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.
I feel like Im one of the elite
guys, McCoy said. I feel like
each player has a fight in them.
They want to be considered one
of the best players in this league.
I feel likeeverygameislikeanop-
portunity to prove myself, a guy
thats kind of underrated. So I
just want to go out there and
prove myself.
McCoy, a second-round pick
out of Pitt in 2009, is second in
theleagueinyards rushing(754)
and first in yards rushing per
game (107.7). His average yards
per carry (5.6) is first among
PHILADELPHIA LeSean
McCoy gets a breather and runs
back on the field on his own. He
rides a stationary bike with the
clock winding down just to have
somethingtodo. Theaffablerun-
ning back playfully punches his
coach in the gut to celebrate a
first down.
The No. 1rushingattackinthe
NFL belongs to the Philadelphia
Eagles. Thats no misprint. The
same team that used to run the
ball only as a last resort leads the
league with an average of 179.9
yards per game on the ground.
McCoy is the reason for that
success.
Even after he runs all over de-
fenses, McCoy, whose nickname
is Shady, still has plenty of ener-
gy left to do some goofy things.
He wants to play, coach An-
dy Reid said. I take himout and
he runs back on. It makes me
mad. I have to snatch him back
off the field. Hes a competitor
and loves to play the game. Hes
very young, too, remember that.
And hes the one doing all of the
jumping around in the locker
roomafterward. I mean, hes rid-
ing a bike with 1:30 left in the
game.
Hes got this phenomenal en-
ergy and he loves to play. When
he gets pulled out of a game, hes
not a real happy camper.
TheChicagoBears haveadarn
good running back, too. Matt
Forte might be the best all-
around player at his position.
WhentheEagles(3-4) host the
Bears (4-3) on Monday night,
McCoy and Forte will showcase
their talents on a national stage.
players withat least 75 attempts.
Forte is sixth in yards rushing
(672) and first in yards from
scrimmage (1,091). A second-
roundpickout of Tulane in2008,
Forte is having his best season in
the middle of a contract dispute.
It makes you feel good that
Imbeing successful on the field,
and I want to continue to be suc-
cessful out there, he said.
McCoy is coming off a career-
best performance in a 34-7 victo-
ryover Dallas that put theEagles
back in the middle of the NFC
East race. He ran for 185 yards
and two touchdowns on 30 car-
ries.
McCoy had 126 yards rushing
on 28 carries in Philadelphias
previous game, a 20-13 win at
Washington on Oct. 16. Hes the
first Eagle with at least 28 rush-
ing attempts in consecutive
games since Wilbert Montgom-
ery in1979.
Keith Byars, Herschel Walker,
Ricky Watters, Duce Staley and
BrianWestbrookpassedthrough
town after Montgomery without
touching the ball that often in a
two-game stretch.
I think Shady has shown us
pretty much everything that hes
shown us for that last two years,
that hes a dynamic player and
hes by far one of the best in this
league, quarterback Michael
Vick said.
McCoy could be in the same
situation as Forte next year.
Forte is earning $600,000 this
seasoninthe final year of his roo-
kie contract. Hes already ex-
pressed his displeasure over the
possibility the Bears might place
the franchise tag on him rather
than sign himlong-term.
With each stellar perform-
ance, Fortes value goes up.
The Bears need another excel-
lent effort from Forte to have a
chance against the resurgent Ea-
gles. Chicago is tied with two
other teams for the final playoff
spot in the NFC. The Bears trail
Green Bay (7-0) by three games
inthe North, soa wild-cardberth
is probably their best way to re-
ach the postseason.
Wefeel goodabout our team,
Bears coach Lovie Smith said.
Well knowa lot more about our
football team from playing a
good Philadelphia team. I know
what their record says, but you
have to kind of base things on
how a team is playing lately.
Again, theyre playing good foot-
ball.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Aa-
ron Maybin is still unsure why
things went so wrong in Buffalo.
Lots was expected from the
Bills 2009 first-round draft pick,
whotookhisreputationasapass-
rushing presence with him to
Buffalo along with an intimidat-
ing nickname that promised ex-
citement: Mayhem.
Just over two years later, May-
bin was being called plenty of
other things. But this might have
been the one that hurt most:
Bust. His Bills career was over
before it really started: No sacks,
no starts, no respect.
Honestly, itd be hard to sit
here and wonder why, and thats
not really even a concern for me
anymore, Maybin said. I stop-
ped worrying about what went
wrong in Buffalo a long time
ago.
Maybin struggled with keep-
ing his weight up in Buffalo, and
looked more physically like a
safety than a linebacker. His pro-
duction suffered, and he was cut
this past offseason. He signed
withthe NewYorkJets, whoalso
released him before the season,
but brought himbackfor another
chance a fewweeks ago.
One thing we were missing
was aguywithagreat get-off that
had some explosiveness, defen-
sive coordinator Mike Pettine
said. It was unfortunate the way
the roster played out early on
that we had to let him go. We
were fortunate to be able to get
himback because we knewwhat
he brought to the table.
Suddenly, things have started
to work out for Maybin, who has
become one of Rex Ryans favor-
ites and a pass-rushing force in
limitedsnaps. Hehas threesacks
and three forced fumbles, and
RyanexpectsMaybintoget more
playing time starting Sunday
against his former team.
I feel great, Maybin said.
This is one of my stronger
weeks of practice Ive had here, if
not thestrongest, asfarasmental
preparation. As far as excitement
goes, I was ready a couple of
weeks ago.
You better believe hes had his
eye on this game against Buffalo
since coming back with the Jets.
Tohiscredit, though, Maybinhas
not expressed any bitterness to-
wardtheBillsor thefansinBuffa-
lo.
I felt this way all along, he
said. Ive never been the kind of
guy to do my talking in the
media. I do my talking on Sun-
days on the field. Thats the ex-
tent of that. I have nothing nega-
tivetosay, Ivegot nosoundbytes
to give anybody thats going to
make big headlines on Sports-
Center. Im just ready to play
again.
After all, Maybin has been
waiting a while for this. He was a
playmaker in two seasons at
Penn State with16 sacks, includ-
ing12inhis secondseason. Early
in his career, Penn State coach
Joe Paterno butchered his name
and instead called him May-
hem, which fans jumped on im-
mediately. There were signs that
read Maybins Mayhem scat-
tered throughout the stadium
and NFL stardom seemed a giv-
en, especially because of his nat-
ural athletic ability.
Then came two lost seasons in
Buffalo, includinglast year, when
he averaged just five snaps a
game.
It didnt work out, Bills cen-
ter Eric Wood said. I know a lot
of people have dogged him, but
theres one thing he did: He
worked hard. I guess its paying
off for himnow.
It sure is. Mayhemis back, and
Maybin couldnt be happier.
it since thats his former team
and he knows a lot of those guys
personally. Itll be fun seeing out
there Sunday.
The capper could come if he
gets a sack, something Maybin
acknowledged would be a sweet
feeling.
Oh, yeah, that goes without
question, Maybin said. It was
somethingI was never able toac-
complishwhile I was there inthe
regular season. For me to go out
there and have the opportunity
tobeabletodothat now, it would
definitely be exciting.
Bills coach Chan Gailey has
been impressed by what he has
seen on filmfromMaybin.
Hes hustling, he said. Hes
made a few plays for them. Hes
the Energizer Bunny out there.
Hekeepsgoingandgoingandgo-
ing. I mean, he plays hard.
Pettine saidMaybin, signedby
the Jets after the third game of
the season, has been working
closely with outside linebackers
coach Mike Smith and the team
has tried to not give him too
much responsibility in the de-
fense.

ORCHARDPARK, N.Y. The
brash, big-talking New York Jets
can have their bluster. Buffalo
Bills receiver Stevie Johnsonlet a
T-shirt make his statement.
Johnson this week proudly dis-
played an election campaign-
styled shirt that had Fitzpatrick-
Johnson 2012: Yes We Can writ-
ten in red, white and blue letter-
ing across the chest.
Yes we can. Yes we can get to
the playoffs, we can get to the Su-
per Bowl, Johnson said, noting
he and quarterback Ryan Fitzpa-
trick are running on the Bills
Party platform. Whatever they
say we cant, we can.
The Bills have delivered a
message of hope and change to
their win-starvedfans courtesy of
a surprising 5-2 start that has
them tied with New England
atop the AFC East. And its not
lost ontheplayers howmuchBuf-
falo could further turn this divi-
sion on its head with a win Sun-
day, when the Jets (4-3) come to
town.
I dont want to say theyre too
much of a hype, because theyve
gotten it done, Johnson said, re-
ferring to the Jets bigger-than-
Broadway reputation. I think its
our turn now. Its our turn to
show that were going to come in
and try to take over this division
and make this run be for real.
And there, in a nutshell, is how
this recently lopsided rivalry
the Jets have won five of the past
six and outscored the Bills by a
combined 76-21 last year has
taken on a significant twist. The
Bills are pushovers no longer as
they prepare to play their most
meaningful game inNovember in
four seasons.
The Bills had the same 5-2 re-
cord in 2008 before a 26-17 home
loss to the Jets helped grease
what became a 2-7 slide.
Why cant it be us? lineback-
er Chris Kelsay said. Weve been
in the basement of this division
for a while. Were in a great posi-
tionright now. Its just a matter of
seizing that opportunity.
Buffalo has the Jets attention,
though coach Ryan and company
dont have any intention of back-
ing down.
I dont think (the division) is
flipped on its head. Theres a lot
of football left to be played. We
plan on being at the top of the di-
vision when its all said and
done, Ryan said. Were not wor-
ried about, Lets wait until week
whatever, 12or13. Were readyto
make our move right now, and
thats our intention.
The schedule lines up for
them. After playing the Bills,
they host New England and then
host Buffalo on Nov. 27, as part of
a stretch that has the potential to
go far in separating the divisions
pretenders and contenders
sorry Miami.
Of course we control our own
destiny, linebacker Bart Scott
said. After everything that has
happened and the things that
have been written and said about
us, if we win these next two
weeks, were right exactly where
we want to be.
The Jets are at least feeling
much better about themselves
than they were a month ago,
when the team appeared on the
verge of unraveling after drop-
ping three straight road games.

driven like nobody else Ive been
around.
A handful of other area com-
petitors pushed themselves
around the Hershey course and
across the finish line at states.
Among the best were a 47th-
place finish by Tunkhannock se-
nior Jake Siegel and a 73rd plac-
ing by Hazleton Area junior Ja-
cob Fetterman in the Class 3A
ish with a time of 19:21.
I wanted to place top five, put
my heart into it and did what I
wanted, Sowinski said. I was
amazed at going up the hills. I
thought I was going to die on
them, but I felt great on them. It
was so weird.
Strangely enough, the Re-
deemer boys put up District 2s
best team finish without a top
finisher.
TheRoyals tooka bronzemed-
al inthe Class 2Aboys race by us-
ing steadiness over stardom to
post an average time of 17:50.
Led by sophomore Vinay Mur-
thy (41st overall, 21st in team
points) and junior Mitchell Ford
(44th, 23rd), the Royals ran an
average time of 17:50, placing
four runners withinthe top40 by
team standards as all seven Re-
deemer competitors cracked the
top 100 in team placement.
The Royals girls were almost
as impressive, capturing a
fourth-place team medal.
Despite missing big gun Cas-
sandra Gill a state medalist last
year at 25th overall who sat out
the last month following a leg in-
jury Redeemer put three finish-
ers among the top 20 in team
points and wound up with an av-
erage time of 20:55.
Marissa Durako wound up
with a strong19:30 time to place
eighth overall, and Brianne Li-
gotskis 20:51 missed out on a
medal at 50th place but scored
18th in team points.
I was very proud of the girls,
Redeemer coachEdRomansaid.
We were missing one of our top
runners (Gill) today. To finish
fourth without one of your top
runners, thats a tremendous ac-
complishment.
Just finishing in the middle of
the Class 3A pack was a feat for
the Dallas boys team.
Two of their runners, Brenden
Ehret and Kyle Borland, suffered
serious spills that required med-
ical attention afterwards.
I actually jumped a fewkids,
said Ehret, a sophomore who
was sporting a scraped leg and a
heavy bandage to help heal a bi-
cep that was spiked. I missed
the last guy and fell down. I

Yet, both fallen Mountaineers

las to a 12th-place finish with an

Those werent minor falls,
they got hit hard, Dallas coach
Matt Samuel said. They made
the comment that they let us
down, that they blew it for us.
My comment is, Youre only
blowing it for us if you dont get
back up.
I cant be more proud as a
coach.
Romes strong effort helped
the Dallas girls finish seventh in
the Class 3A team standings
with an average time of 20:08.
Sophomore Bryanna Dissinger
(20:06) and freshman Lindsey
Oremus (20:07) dashed into the
top 77 overall to aid in the sev-
enth-place team finish.
I think its pretty difficult by
this point to absolutely put into
words how well our girls did to-
day andhowwell Regandid, Sa-
muel said.
This is just an excellent state
for cross country. For her to mix
it up with them is unbelievable.

ted, Corey Ehret came back to
run a few races last year, with
peach fuzz on his head and
determination in his heart.
He went through his first
round of cancer, he went back
out for cross country and he did
really well, Chris Ehret said.
He beat some people others
may not have beaten. He used
to have peach fuzz when he lost
his hair. We started calling him
Peachy.
Thats why the words For
Peach are written on the run-
ning shoes of the whole Dallas
boys team. And why those
words are now on that spar-
kling trophy the Dallas team
won during a recent meet in
Gettysburg his year.
I Sharpied his name on it,
Chris Ehret said. I just felt it
deserves to be on there.
Its a fitting tribute to a for-
mer teammate whose life story
seems to drive Dallas runners
with every stride.
Those boys are my heroes,
said Dallas coach Matt Samuel,
whose father Earl is suffering
from terminal cancer. What
they do for each other and the
difficult nature of Coreys can-
cer would bring a person like
me to my knees. And I fancy
myself as a tough person.
Its not so much about finding
strength where the Ehrets are
concerned. Its more about
finding an amazing type of
character through courage.
One look at Corey Ehret
shows that.

WHITEHALL If every cor-
ner had been a goal, Crestwood
might still be on the field at
Whitehall.
The Comets earned 27 penalty
corners as they reached the first
round of the PIAA Class 2A field
hockeytournament witha 4-1vic-
tory over Moravian Academy on
Saturday afternoon.
As long as its down at our end
and were playing offense, its
OK, Crestwood coach Elvetta
Gemski said of a potentially frus-
trating day. It was definitely nu-
merous chances we generated.
Crestwood (21-3) will play
Tuesday against the District 3
runner-up at a site and time to be
determined.
Were so happy to be in
states, sophomore Marissa Sur-
dysaidafter her Comets survived
twoplay-ingames toreachthe16-
teamtourney. This game was re-
ally big. They all are. If we dont
win, were done.
The first half looked more like
a practice session than a state
qualifying game. Crestwood
lined up for 19 corners in the first
half, as the Comets kept the ball
in Lions territory for 29 of the
first 30 minutes of play.
Crestwood likely used every
corner set in its playbook trying
to break through on Moravian
(17-6). But keeper Zoe Briggs
made 13 saves in the half, Kathe-
rine Kistler made a defensive
save and the Lions weathered the
storm in their circle.
Absolutely not, Comets ju-
nior Chandler Ackers said when
asked if the first half was frustrat-
ing. They came down (the field)
just twice on us. We had so many
offensive shots, we knew wed
start scoring.
After being repelled through-
out the first half, Crestwood sud-
denly found itself trailing 57 sec-
onds into the second half. Mora-
vian, the District 11 runner-up,
converted its first penalty corner
after starting the half with the
ball.
Sarah Brown made a short in-
jection pass to Lucy Pidock, who
lofted the ball toward the goal.
Comets keeper Danielle DeSpiri-
to swatted the airborne ball away
but Madi Sheetz was waiting in
front of the goal toslamhome the
rebound for a 1-0 lead.
Honestly, we tried to get a
quick goal ourselves, Ackers
said. We tried and they got past
us. Unfortunately, it happens.
But the light switched on for us
after that.
The tally only made Crest-
wood more determined, as it
started play at midfield and
marched right into the Moravian
circle. Astick obstruction call led
to a penalty stroke 17 seconds af-
ter the Moravian goal. Anna Des-
soye rocketed the ball over the
shoulder of Briggs to knot the
game at 1.
From there, the Comets of-
fense found its range, converting
a pair of corners and cashing in
on a power play after Briggs was
whistled for unsportsmanlike
conduct.
We were generating a lot of of-
fense, Gemski said. But we had
to bring it up a level and I think
we visibly did it.
Surdy had a pair of goals, net-
ting the winner on a rebound of a
Casey Cole blast from the top of
the circle for a 2-1lead in the 37th
minute. She also finished a text-
book rush started by a lead pass
from Lindsay Hischak to Kelsey
Jones, who centered to Surdy for
the games final goal.
I was just there in front, Sur-
dy said of the winning goal. I
went with it and pushed at it as
hard as I could. I didnt even wor-
ry about whichway it was going.
With roles jumbled on a corner
inthe 41st minute, Chandler Ack-
ers blasted a shot from the left
wing past Briggs. Topscorer Des-
soye played the injection to Jess
Newakat the topof the circle. Ne-
wak dished to her left to Ackers,
who normally handles injection
passes for the Comets.

PHILADELPHIA Jim
Thome wants his second stint in
Philadelphia to come with the
World Series title he missed the
first time around.
Thome agreed to a $1.25 mil-
lion, one-year contract with the
Phillies on Saturday, returning to
the franchise for a second time.
The 41-year-old Thome hit
.256 with 15 home runs and 50
RBI ina combined93 games with
the Minnesota Twins and Cleve-
land Indians last season. He bat-
ted .350 with runners in scoring
position and .424 over his final 11
games of the season.
Every player sees the way the
Phillies have done things,
Thome said. Theyve set the bar
very, very high.
Thome played for Philadelphia
from 2003-05 and has remained
closewithPhillies manager Char-
lie Manuel, his hitting coach for
several years in Cleveland.
Everyone knows my relation-
ship with Jimmy, Manuel said.
But hes not here because of
that. Hes here to contribute to
our team in a positive way, both
on and off the field.
Thome hit .260 with 96 home
runs and266RBIs inhis first stint
with the Phillies.
I think the Phillies have set
the bar very high in baseball,
Thome said. This is as good a
place in baseball right now to be
in.
Thome has a .277 career aver-
age with 604 homers and 1,674
RBIs. He is one of just eight play-
ers to hit more than 600 homers.
Howard is recovering fromsur-
gery on his left Achilles. Thome,
expected to add some left-hand-
ed pop off the bench, could be
called on to play first base.
Thome said hell be preparing
this offseason. Thome has not
played defensively since 2007.

PHILADELPHIA Former
heavyweight champion Joe Fra-
zier has liver cancer and is under
hospice care.
The 67-year-old boxer was di-
agnosed four or five weeks ago,
Fraziers personal and business
manager said Saturday. Leslie
Wolff told The Associated Press
that doctors have not yet toldFra-
zier how long he has to live.
Wehavemedical experts look-
ing into the all the options that
are out there, Wolff said. There
are very few. But that doesnt
mean were going to stop look-
ing.
Wolff, who has been Fraziers
manager for seven years, said the
boxer had been in out and out of
the hospital since early October
and receiving hospice treatment
the last week.
We appreciate every prayer
we can get, Wolff said. Ive got
everybody praying for him. Well
just keep our fingers crossed and
hope for a miracle.
Fraziers illness was first re-
ported by the NewYork Post, cit-
ing an unidentified. source.
Frazier was the first man to
beat Muhammad Ali, knocking
him down and taking a decision
in the so-called Fight of the Cen-
tury in 1971. He would go on to
lose two more fights to Ali, in-
cluding the epic Thrilla in Ma-
nila bout.
Frazier was bitter for many
years about the way Ali treated
him then. More recently, he said
he had forgiven Ali for repeatedly
taunting him.
Smokin Joe was a small yet fe-
rocious fighter who smothered
his opponents with punches, in-
cludinga devastatingleft hookhe
used to end many of his fights
early. It was the left hook that
dropped Ali in the 15th round of
their Fight of the Century at
Madison Square Garden in 1971
to seal a win in a bout where each
fighter earned an unheard of $2.5
million.
Whilethat fight is celebratedin
boxing lore, Ali and Frazier put
on an even better show in their
third fight, held in a sweltering
arena in Manila as part of Alis
world tour of fights in1975. Near-
ly blinded by Alis punches, Fra-
zier still wanted to go out for the
15th round of the fight but was
held back by trainer Eddie Futch
in a bout Ali would later say was
the closest thing to death he
could imagine.
Frazier won the heavyweight
title in 1970 by stopping Jimmy
Ellis in the fifth round of their
fight at Madison Square Garden.
He defended it successfully four
times before George Foreman
knocked him down six times in
the first two rounds to take the ti-
tle from him in 1973.
Frazier would never be heavy-
weight champion again.

NEW YORK NBA owners
and players are trying again to
end the lockout before it can do
further damage to an already-

They resumed negotiations
Saturday with federal mediator
George Cohen, who faced a diffi-
cult task in trying to help the
sides close the financial gap that
derailed talks again last week.
Hall of Famer and Charlotte
owner Michael Jordan, plus Por-
tland billionaire owner Paul Al-
len joined the bargaining, along
with the usual owners labor rela-
tions committee. Both are be-
lieved to be hardliners who want
to offer the players an economic
deal even worse than the propos-
al they already have rejected.
Owners are determined not to
give players anything more than
a 50-50 split of basketball-related
income. Players, who were guar-
anteed 57 percent under the old
collective bargaining agreement,
haveproposedareductionto52.5
percent, leaving the sides about
$100 million apart annually
based on last seasons revenues.
Talks broke down last Friday
when neither side would budge.
Commissioner David Stern then
canceled all games through No-
vember and warned that future
owners proposals could be made
with their extraordinary losses
from the missed games in mind.
A number of owners would fa-
vor that. A person briefed on the
owners position Friday told The
Associated Press that there were
many hardline owners who want
a deal at 53-47intheir favor plus a
hard cap, and that the rest
wouldnt go beyond a 50-50 split.
Some issues relatedto the sala-
ry cap system remain, but the
BRI split has emerged as a more
significant obstacle. Talks have
broken off each of the last two
times the sides discussed it, in-
cluding the previous time Cohen
took part.
They met for three straight
days with him last month before
players said owners insisted they
accept a take it or leave it 50-50
split before any further discus-
sions of the system. Allen made a
rare appearance that day, and
union officials said they believed
his presence served as a message
from the hardliners that there
would be no further economic
compromise.
When talks broke down again
last week, Stern and Deputy
Commissioner Adam Silver said
union executive director Billy
Hunter told them he couldnt ac-
cept less than 52 percent because
of pressure from agents. Some
players have since taken part in
conference calls to discuss the
optionof decertifyingthe unionif
they dont get what they consider
a fair proposal.
But taking their fight to the
courts with an antitrust lawsuit
likely would mean missing the
entire season, so both sides have
said they believe bargaining is
the best route to a deal.
Owners met earlier Saturday,
the 128th day of the lockout, for
an update on the negotiations
and a discussion of the leagues
plans to expand revenue sharing
among teams. Both sides then
met individually with Cohen be-
fore the bargaining session be-
gan.

SHANGHAI Starting the
third round with the lead,
Fredrik Jacobson kept his mis-
takes to a minimum, knocked
in long birdie putts on consec-
utive holes and wound up with
a 5-under 67 and a two-shot
lead Saturday. It still wasnt
enough to shake a world-class
leaderboard at the HSBC
Champions.
The final World Golf Cham-
pionship of the year is living
up to its billing.
Jacobson broke the tourna-
ment 54-hole record at 16-
under 200 as he tries to win for
the second time this year.
Louis Oosthuizen was second
after a 68 at Sheshan Interna-
tional.
Adam Scott was third at 13
under. Despite growing contro-
versy of his caddie Steve Wil-
liams racial slur about Tiger
Woods at a private party, Scott
went on a birdie-birdie-eagle
finish to salvage a 69.
Right behind them were U.S.
Open champion Rory McIlroy
(65) and former world No. 1
Lee Westwood (67) at 12-under
204, with former U.S. Open
champion Graeme McDowell
(67) and former PGA cham-
pion Martin Kaymer (68) an-
other shot back.
Champions Tour
SAN FRANCISCO Jay
Don Blake shot a 5-under 66 to
take a two-stroke lead after the
third round of the Champions
Tours season-ending Charles
Schwab Championship.
Blake, who snapped a 20-
year victory drought this sea-
son when he won the Songdo
IBD Championship in South
Korea, was 8 under at TPC
Harding Park. Jay Haas shot a
67 to join Michael Allen (69)
and David Frost (69) at 6 un-
der. Loren Roberts was another
stroke back after a 65, the best
round of the day.
Charles Schwab Cup points
leader Tom Lehman was tied
for 16th at 1 over after a 72.
Mark Calcavecchia, 382 points
behind Lehman, had a 70 that
left him tied for sixth at 4
under. He needs to finish at
least second to win the season
title.
Fred Couples, tied with Allen
for the second-round lead, shot
a 74 to drop into a tie for 12th
at 1 under.
LPGA Tour
SHIMA, Japan Japans
Momoko Ueda had six birdies
on the back nine in an 8-under
64 to take a three-stroke lead
after the second round of the
Mizuno Classic.
Ueda, the 2007 winner, bird-
ied the final four holes chip-
ping in from the edge of the
green on the par-4 18th to
finish at 13-under 131 at Kintet-
su Kashikojima Country Club.
Japans Sakura Yokomine was
second after a 63. American
Mina Harigae (67) was 9 under
along with Japans Mayu Hatto-
ri (66) and Chinas Shanshan
Feng (67).

rout the Columbus Blue Jackets
9-2 on Saturday night.
Sean Couturier scored twice
for the Flyers and five other
players had goals. James van
Riemsdyk, Max Talbot and
Jakub Voracek also scored in
the first, giving Philadelphia
three fewer goals (five) than
total shots for Columbus
(eight).
The Flyers piled on in the
second, with Wayne Simmonds
and Matt Carle scoring 20 sec-
onds apart to make it 8-0. Blue
Jackets goalie Steve Mason was
yanked late in the first period
after allowing three goals on 12
shots. Allen York gave up two
goals on five shots and was
replaced by Mason in the sec-
ond.
Devils 3, Jets 2, OT
NEWARK, N.J. Adam
Henrique scored his second
goal of the game 1:28 into over-
time to give Martin Brodeur
and the Devils a victory over
the Jets.
Patrik Elias also scored for
the Devils and Brodeur made 21
saves in his first win of the
season. The NHLs career wins
leader returned Wednesday
night after missing six games
with a bruised shoulder, but
was much sharper in this one.
Mark Flood scored in the
third period for Winnipeg, his
first NHL goal.
Islanders 5, Capitals 3
UNIONDALE, N.Y. P.A.
Parenteaus goal with 1:46 re-
maining broke a tie and led the
Islanders to a win over the
Capitals.
After the Islanders (4-5-2)
scored only 18 goals in their
first 10 games this season, they
busted out against Washington.
Frans Nielsen, Brian Rolston,
Matt Martin and John Tavares
also scored for New York,
which snapped a six-game los-
ing streak (0-4-2). Tavares made
it 5-3 with an empty-net goal
Rick DiPietro made 24 saves
for his first win of the season.
Joel Ward, Alex Ovechkin
and Brooks Laich had goals for
the Capitals, who got 30 saves
from Tomas Vokoun.
Rangers 5, Canadiens 3
NEW YORK Erik Chris-
tensen scored one of New
Yorks three first-period goals,
and the Rangers overcame a
1-for-9 effort on the power play
to hang on for a victory over
the Canadiens.
Defensemen Dan Girardi and
Michael Del Zotto also scored
in the first to pace the Rangers,
who swarmed Montreal in the
opening period with a 16-3 shot
advantage and earned their
third straight win all at
home.
Brad Richards pushed the
lead to 4-2 in the second period
for the Rangers (6-3-3), who are
3-1-1 on a six-game homestand
that ends Sunday against Win-
nipeg.
Max Pacioretty and Andrei
Kostitsyn scored in the second,
and Brian Gionta added a goal
late in the third for Montreal,
which had its four-game win-
ning streak snapped.
Sabres 3, Senators 2, SO
OTTAWA Derek Roy
scored on Buffalos sixth shoo-
tout attempt to give the Sabres
a win over the Senators.
Roy snapped a shot past
Craig Anderson when both
teams had failed to score after
each converted their first two
attempts. Thomas Vanek and
Brad Boyes also scored in the
shootout for Buffalo, which
went beyond regulation for the
first time in 13 games.
Jhonas Enroth stopped Erik

Daugavins and Bobby Butler to
set up Roys winner.
Red Wings 5, Ducks 0
DETROIT Nicklas Lid-
strom had two goals and an
assist, Jimmy Howard made 22

Bruins 7, Maple Leafs 0
TORONTO Tyler Seguin
scored his first-career hat trick
and Tim Thomas made 24
saves for his first shutout of the

BUL L E T I N BOARD
I
t defies logic.
A state government agency is
actually considering reducing a fee
that it charges the public.
In this day and age, paying less for
something is almost unheard of. But
thats an idea being kicked around by
the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Com-
mission.
If state legislators follow through and
pass a bill that is currently on the Sen-
ate floor, then the PFBC will have sev-
eral new options at its disposable that
could reduce costs for us and increase
sales, and revenue, for them.
Heres how it works.
On Oct. 25 the Senate Game and
Fisheries Committee voted unanimous-
ly to move Senate Bill 1049 to the floor.
The bill would give the PFBC the au-
thority to implement several licensing
options.
Those options include a multi-year
license, a group of family license pack-
age and, best of all, a discounted li-
cense.
A resident fishing license is priced at
$22.70. Its been that way since 2005
and last year the PFBC was considering
asking legislators to approve another
fee hike.
But Senate Bill 1049 could take
things in another direction.
Kingston resident Norm Gavlick,
who is a commissioner on the PFBC
board, said having the creativity to offer
different types of licenses as afforded
by SB1049, could allow the agency to
sell licenses cheaper than they are now.
Noting that when license fees are
raised the PFBC typically loses up-
wards of 10 percent of anglers the fol-
lowing year, Gavlick surmised that a
lower fee would equate to a reversal in
that trend.
I would like to reduce the license
costs going forward and come up with
additional revenue, he said. If we
drop our license fees, well set a lot
more licenses in the long run.
And by selling more licenses, the
agency will gain more matching dollars
from the federal government.
But it all hinges on SB1049. Right
now, the PFBC board alone cant raise
the cost of a fishing license much less
lower it without approval from the state
legislature.
While agencies such as the Turnpike
Commission can set their own rates,
the PFBC and the Pennsylvania Game
Commission cant. They have no con-
trol over license fees.
While it certainly isnt the best time
to approve a license fee hike, the legis-
lature can give the PFBC the ability to
try different options within the current
price structure.
A multi-year fishing license would
insure the agency receives federal dol-
lars for the entire life of that license - a
bit of financial security, if you will.
It will also make things easier on
anglers, who can but a license once and
not have to worry about it again for
several years.
A group, or family license also makes
sense. A one-day resident license cur-
rently costs $11.70. Thats pretty costly
if, for example, a group of family and
friends want to try the sport for a day
while on vacation.
But if a family license were available
at a discounted rate, perhaps more
people would try the sport.
Perhaps they could afford to.
We just want the legislature to give
us the ability to try different things.
Allow us to be creative in the way we
sell licenses and structure packages,
Gavlick said. Put a cap on the cost and
let us see what we can do.
More options and a reduced price
why not?
After all, if a fee hike drives more
people away from the sport, it makes
sense to lower the cost and bring more
anglers back.

A novel idea:
Charging less
for a license
Tom Venesky covers the outdoors for The
Times Leader. You may reach him by email at
tvenesky@timesleader.com.
As a bird hunter, Bill Jones is happy if
his dogflushes a pheasant or twoduring
a day of hunting.
But the prospect of beingable toflush
pheasant and bobwhite quail from the
same location in the same day?
That would be a bird hunters
dream, Jones said.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission
is exploring ways to make that dream
come true for Jones and bird hunters
across the state. Last month, the PGC
board adopted a bobwhite quail man-
agement plan, which outlines ways to
restore wild, self-sustaining quail pop-
ulations in areas with suitable habitat.
Its going to take some work.
The agency needs to determine will
first determine where existing popula-
tions of quail exist and then conduct
DNAtestingtofindif they are truly wild
or birds released by hunters and dog
trainers.
Secondly, the agency will look at es-
tablishing recovery areas similar to
those being utilized for wild pheasants,
improve the habitat in those areas and
obtain wild quail to be released.
PGC commissioner Jay Delaney,
Wilkes-Barre, who is also an avid bird
hunter, saidpen-raisedquail wont work
for a re-introduction program and the
agency is looking at ways it can obtain
wild quail from other states or raising
them with minimal human contact.
Obtaining wild quail isnt the main
hurdle, according to Delaney. If the pro-
gramis goingtowork, habitat is the key,
he said.
Will we ever have a huntable popula-
tion of wild quail in Pennsylvania? I
dont know, Delaney said. Can we re-
establish them in certain focus area? I
think so. Its all driven by habitat.
One possible option would be to pig-
gybackthequail programwiththeexist-
ing Wild Pheasant Recovery Areas in
the state.
Those areas of which there are five
in the state, consist of large blocks of
land that is ideal pheasant habitat.
Much of the WPRAs are enrolled in the
Conservation Reserve Program and is
made up of grown-up fields.
Quail and pheasant have a very simi-
lar habitat, Delaney said. The better
habitats are mainly where we have our
WPRAs. Im optimistic.
Jones biggest concern with the wild
quail plan centered around the limita-
tions of huntable populations. Would
there be enough quail to withstand
hunting pressure and will there be
enough areas to spread the pressure
around?
With the cover on the WPRAs, it
should work, but on the downside
youre limiting wild quail to a certain ar-
ea, he said.
If it does get to a point where areas
are opened, theyll need to regulate
things so you dont have everybody tar-
geting a few specific locations.
Another concern expressed by Jones
was the impact that predators such as
raccoon, skunk, fox and coyote, will
have on wild quail and their nests.
Predators could be a big problembe-
cause no one traps like they did years
ago. The control just isnt there, he
said. That could really wreak havoc on
nests and newly-hatched chicks in the
spring.
Delaney said its hoped that the plan
will be implemented in July 2012. Pub-
lic comments on the plan are currently
being reviewed by agency and costs are
being figured.
The majority of the public comment
has been very favorable, Delaney said.
The quail plan is another part of the
equation when it comes to improving
small game hunting in the state. The
question to be answered now is can we
establish huntable populations of wild
quail in Pennsylvania. We feel theres a
reasonable chance that we can have
them again.

charged, authorities said, and
the grand jury report did not ap-
pear to implicate him in wrong-
doing.
It said that when Paterno first
learnedof one report of abuse, he
immediately reported it to Curl-
ey, but Sandusky was no longer
coaching at the time and its not
clear whether Paterno followed
up with Curley.
Sandusky, closely identified
with the schools reputation as a
defensive powerhouse and a pro-
gram that produced top-quality
linebackers, retired in 1999 but
continued to work with at-risk
children through the nonprofit
Second Mile organization he
founded in 1977.
He was charged with multiple
counts of involuntary deviate
sexual intercourse, corruption of
minors, endangering the welfare
of a child, indecent assault and
unlawful contact
with a minor, as
well as single
counts of aggra-
vated indecent as-
sault and attempt-
ed indecent as-
sault.
A preliminary
hearing for Sand-
usky is scheduled
for Wednesday,
but his lawyer told
reporters it would
likely be delayed.
Hes shaky, as
you can expect,
defense attorney
JoeAmendolatold
WJAC-TV outside
the arraignment
hearing. Being 67
years old, never
having faced crim-
inal charges in his life, and hav-
ing the distinguished career that
hes had, these are very serious
allegations.
Amendola said Sandusky has
beenaware of the accusations for
about three years and has main-
tained his innocence.
The allegations range from
sexual touching to oral and anal
sex, and victims testified they
were in their early teens when
some of the abuse occurred.
Attorney General Linda Kelly
called Sandusky a sexual preda-
tor who used his position within
the university and community to
repeatedly prey on young boys.
The grand jury said eight boys
who were targets of sexual ad-
vances or assaults by Sandusky
from 1994 to 2009. None were
named, and in at least one case,
the jury said the childs identity
remains unknown to authorities.
One accuser, now 27, testified
that Sandusky initiated contact
with a soap battle in the show-
er that led to multiple instances
of involuntary sexual intercourse
and indecent assault at Sandus-
kys hands, the grand jury report
said.
Victim 4, as he was identified
in the jury report, said he trav-
eled to charity functions and
Penn State games with Sandus-
ky, evenbeinglistedas amember
of Sanduskys familys party for
the1998 Outback Bowl and1999
Alamo Bowl.
Sandusky did threaten to
send him home from the Alamo
Football Building on campus.
The grad student and his fa-
ther reported what he saw to Pa-
terno, who immediately told
Curley, prosecutors said.
Curley and Schultz met with
the graduate assistant about a
week and a half later, Kelly said.
Nothing happened.
Despite a powerful eyewit-
ness statement about the sexual
assault of a child, this incident
was not reported to any law en-
forcement or child protective
agency, as required by Pennsyl-
vania law, Kelly said.
Theres no indication that any-
one at school attempted to find
theboy, or followupwiththewit-
ness, she said.
Curley denied that the assist-
ant had reported anything of a
sexual nature, calling it merely
horsing around, the 23-page
grand jury report said.
But the jury saidCurley was ly-
ing, Kelly said, addingthat it also
deemedportions of Schultzs tes-
timony not to be credible.
Curley testified that he barred
Sanduskyfrombringingchildren
onto campus and that he advised
Penn State president Graham
Spanier of the matter.
Schultz told the jurors he also
knew of a 1998 investigation in-
volving sexually inappropriate
behavior by Sandusky with a boy
in the showers the football team
used. But despite his joboversee-
ing campus police, he never re-
ported the 2002 allegations to
any authorities, never sought or
received a police report on the
1998 incident and never attempt-
ed to learn the identity of the
childinthe showin2002, the ju-
rors wrote.
No one from the university
did so.
In response to a request for
comment from Paterno, a
spokesman for the athletic de-
partment said all such questions
would be referred to university
representatives, who released a
statement from Spanier calling
the allegations against Sandusky
troubling and adding Curley
and Schultz had his uncondition-
al support.
Hepredictedtheywill beexon-
erated.
I have known and worked dai-
ly with Tim and Gary for more
than 16 years, Spanier said. I
have complete confidence in
howtheyhandledtheallegations
about a former university em-
ployee.
Sandusky, once considered a
potential successor to Paterno,
drewup the defenses for the Nit-
tany Lions national-title teams
in 1982 and 1986.
The team is enjoying another
successful runthis season. At 8-1,
PennState is rankedNo. 16inthe
AP Top 25 and is the last unde-
feated squad in Big Ten play.
The Nittany Lions were off
Saturday.
As stunning as the charges
were the names implicated at a
school where the football pro-
gram is known for its consisten-
cy as much as its success a big
change this year was the removal
of white trim from players uni-
forms.
Were supposed to be one of
the universities to follow after,
someone to look up to, said
sophomore Brian Prewitt of
Poughkeepsie, N.Y. ... Now that
people on the top are involved,
its going to be bad.
Bowl in Texas when Victim 4 re-
sisted his advances, the report
said, and Sandusky gave him
clothes, shoes, a snowboard, golf
clubs, hockey gear and football
jerseys.
Sandusky even guaranteed
Victim 4 that he could be a walk-
on player at Penn State, and the
boy appeared with Sandusky in a
photo in Sports Illustrated, the
jury said.
He testified that Sandusky
once gave him $50 to buy mari-
juana, drove him to purchase it,
and then drove him home as the
boy smoked the drug, according
to the report.
This was when Victim 4 was
trying to distance himself from
Sandusky because he wanted no
more sexual contact with him,
the jurors said.
Another child, Victim 8, as ju-
rors named him, is known only
as a boy, about 11 to 13, who was
seen pinned against a wall, by a
janitor who observed Sandusky
performingoral sexonhiminfall
2000, the jury said.
Nooneanswer-
ed a knock at the
door Saturday at
Sanduskys mod-
est, two-story
brick home at the
end of a dead-end
road in State Col-
lege.
A man who an-
swered the door
at The Second
Mile office in
State College
who declined to
give his name
said the organiza-
tion had no com-
ment.
The report ac-
cuses Curley and
Schultz of know-
ing some details
of accusations of
sex abuse against Sandusky but
failing to tell authorities what
they knew.
It is also a case about high-
ranking university officials who
allegedly failed to report the sex-
ual assault of a young boy after
the information was brought to
their attention, and later made
false statements to a grand jury,
Kelly said.
Lawyers for both men issued
statements saying they were in-
nocent of all charges.
Prosecutors said all of the
young men first encountered
Sandusky through Second Mile.
The first to come to light was a
boy who met Sandusky when he
was 11 or 12, the grand jury said.
The boy received expensive gifts
and trips to sports events from
Sandusky, and physical contact
began during his overnight stays
at Sanduskys home, jurors said.
Eventually, the boys mother
reported the allegations of sex-
ual assault to his high school,
and Sandusky was banned from
the childs school district in Clin-
ton County in 2009.
That triggered the state inves-
tigation that culminated in
charges Saturday.
The report also alleges much
earlier instances of abuse, and ef-
forts by some who knew of it to
stop it, to no avail.
Kelly said that in 2002, a grad-
uate assistant sawSandusky sex-
ually assault a naked boy, esti-
matedtobe about10years old, in
the locker room of the Lasch
SANDUSKY

FORT WORTH, Texas Cou-
sin Carl vs. Smoke.
There is a tale of the tape and
even lockers complete with box-
ing gloves and robes for both Carl
Edwards and Tony Stewart, the
top contenders in the NASCAR
Sprint Cup points chase. There is
hugebanner featuringboxingpro-
moter Don King with Texas Mo-
tor Speedway president Eddie
Gossage.
I didnt realize Tony volun-
teered to do a boxing match, Ed-
wards said, smiling after entering
the media center between the
lockers. Im actually pretty excit-
ed about that part, but I didnt
knowthat wasgonnaactuallyhap-
pen.
OK, so this Texas Title Fight
astheraceisbeingbilledwill
be onthe tracktoday, andwithout
the often volatile Kyle Busch.
Edwards got to Texas with a
mere eight-point lead over Stew-
art, who last week won for the
third time in seven Chase races
andinVictoryLanesaidthepoints
leader better be worried. Thats
all Imsaying.
Stewarts feelings havent
changed since getting to Texas.
It wasnt the adrenaline that
wassayingthat. Ivebeenracing31
years andwevebeenapart of alot
of championship battles and I
know what that feeling is when
you feel that stuff is going right
and that youve got that shot
again, Stewart said. Hesmaking
a mistake if hes counting us out
and if he thinks its just a mind
game deal. ... Im going to control
my destiny and my car.
Busch, who was seventh in
points, was barredfromdriving in
the Cup and Nationwide races at
Texas, a rare step taken by NAS-
CARafter hedeliberatelywrecked
championship contender Ron
Hornaday Jr. during a caution in
theTruckSeriesraceFridaynight.
Michael McDowell will take over
Sunday in Joe Gibbs No. 18 car.
Stewart, now a driver-owner, is
the last personnot namedJimmie
Johnson to win a Cup champion-
ship. That wasin2005whenStew-
art wonhis secondtitledrivingfor
Gibbs.
ButnodriverhaswonmoreCup
races at Texas than Edwards
Wecouldnt becomingtoabetter
race track, he said. Edwards
swept both 2008 races and won
the fall race there six years ago.
Weveescapedsomeof our bad
tracks and bad days and still been
abletofight andclawandcomeup
with something good, Edwards
said. Now were going to some
tracks that we can run well, but I
alsounderstandhowmuchcango
wrong. I knowthingsthat canhap-
penanditsnot overuntil itsover.
Edwards finished third in the
Nationwide race Saturday after
leading 157 of 200 laps on the
1
1
2-mile, high-banked Texas track.
He finishedbehindRoushFenway
teammate Trevor Bayne and Den-
ny Hamlin, who was driving
Buschs Nationwide entry.
Stewart qualified fifth for Sun-
days race, whileEdwards was sev-
enth, meaning the top two will
start nose-to-tail Sunday.
Greg Biffle, David Ragan and
Matt Kenseth, all Roush Fenway
teammates with Edwards, took
the top three spots in qualifying.
Polesitter Biffle won the 2005
spring race at Texas.
The only Cup victory for Ed-
wards this season came eight
months ago in Las Vegas, but he
has finished outside the top10 on-
lyonceinhislast10races, andthat
was an11th-place finishat Tallade-

FORT WORTH, Texas Tre-
vor Bayne earned his first career
NASCAR Nationwide victory af-
ter he passed dominating team-
mate Carl Edwards following a
tremendous restart with seven
laps remaining Saturday at Tex-
as.
Bayne won the Daytona 500
this year but hadnever woninhis
previous 76 Nationwide starts in
the series where he is a regular
for Roush Fenway Racing.
Its been a long time coming,
Bayne said. That ending there
was cool to get to go up against
Carl Edwards and Denny Ham-
lin. ... Right before that last cau-
tion, I didnt think we were going
to have a shot because we were
about half a track behind Carl. I
thought the car was good, but I
just didnt think wed have
enough time.
Edwards, the Cup points lead-
er, led 157 of 200 laps at the
1
1
2-mile, high-banked track. He
was still in front on the final res-
tart, when Bayne was fourth.
After helping push Edwards
forward, Bayne was able to get
around Hamlin, who then passed
Edwards as well and finished sec-
ond while filling in for Kyle
Busch.
Bayne was confident his car
wouldbe strongfor a short runaf-
ter the last restart.
We had gained three or four
spots every restart all day, he
said.
Baynes victory was owner
Jack Roushs 299th NASCARwin
and secured Fords third manu-
facturing championshipinthe se-
ries.
I cant say enoughgoodthings
about him, Edwards said. Its
frustrating to lose this race, but I
couldnt have lost it to a better
guy. Hes a great friend.
Nationwide points leader
Ricky Stenhouse finished sixth
and has a 17-point lead over El-
liott Sadler with two races to go.
Sadler, who came in 15 points
back, finishedninthafter running
ahead of Stenhouse for much of
the race.

O
h, we poor baby boomers. Much
of that generation, defined as
those born between 1946 and
1964, is approaching retirement at
what seems to be just the wrong time.
According to a recent poll conducted
for The Associated Press:
Just 9 percent of our 77 million
members are strongly convinced theyll
live comfortably in retirement
52 percent of us say they are un-
likely to move someplace new after
retiring
Nearly half 48 percent say its
extremely or very likely theyll stay in
the home they now live in the rest of
their lives
Of those planning to move, about
40 percent say its to a smaller home
This is really bad news for southern
golf course community developers,
who sold an image of luxurious, active
retirement among palm trees and
beachside restaurants. I confess to
dreaming of that life for a while and
got on the mailing lists for several
developments. Between the prices and
the sterile nature of these complexes I
never followed through and now Im
really glad I didnt.
Its hard to imagine a poll like this
being conducted among the Greatest
Generation, who raised us boomers.
My parents would have scoffed at the
notion of leaving the place theyd en-
joyed and improved over four decades
until they died. An aunt and her hus-
band continue to live in Maine, in a
house heated by a wood stove. Their
decision to stay there has nothing to do
with a decline in their stock portfolio
or cratered home values that left their
mortgage underwater.
The difference is in expectations.
Happy to have a roof over their heads
and reluctant to take on debt, few in
that group assumed theyd retire to
sunny climes and manicured fairways.
Even those that did can more likely be
found in a mobile home parks than
palatial mansions.
We boomers were different. We grew
up in relative affluence and in an era
when the economy moved, however
unsteadily, upward. It was only natural
that as our 401(k) balances swelled we
looked forward to cashing them in to
finance a lifestyle we felt entitled to.
No more; the conditions our parents
grew up with have been thrust upon us
with sudden fury. The easy money is
gone and it looks like a return is years
off, if it ever happens. Steady raises
that match or outpace inflation have
been replaced by freezes and higher
benefits contributions. Taxes and fees
are going up as governments try to
replace lost income of their own.
To me, this means that we should be
wary of optimistic forecasts and of
politicians who promise instant pros-
perity if we only cut this or spend that.
Between both personal and public debt
that remains very high and a global
economy that has its own challenges,
its time to put away the glossy bro-
chures and unrealistic expectations,
live modestly and pursue satisfactions
that dont require lots of money.
Funny, that sounds like what we said
in the 60s.
Im thoroughly sick of reading and

hearing that our economic problems
are the fault of European irresponsib-
ility. The latest example was in an AP
story about the failed MF Global fi-
nancial services firm. Yes, the company
made unwise bets on European debt
instruments and the decline in their
value contributed to the blowup. That
doesnt make MF Global the first big
Wall Street victim of the European debt
crisis, as AP wrote.
Like Lehman Brothers, AIG and
others, MF Global was a victim of its
own recklessness and greed. If any-
thing, the eagerness of investment
banks to finance shaky debt emboldens
more countries and companies to offer
more than they can afford to pay for.

TRENTON, N.J. Ambi-
tious. Impatient. Stubborn.
Highly tolerant of risk. The
personality traits that helped
JonCorzine move fromhis boy-
hood farm in Willey Station,
Ill., to the heights of power on
Wall Street and in New Jersey
politics also may be partially
responsible for his spectacular
downfalls in government and
finance.
Corzine, 64, is inthe midst of
a professional meltdown that
began when he bet heavily on
European debt, and lost. As
head of MF Global, he pushed
for the $6.3 billion gamble on
debt issued by Italy, Spain and
other European nations with
troubled economies that ulti-
mately doomed the securities
firm he took over last year.
The company filed for bank-
ruptcy protection Monday, af-
ter a presale audit revealed po-
tentially millions in missing
client funds, scaring off a po-
tential buyer. MFGlobal was in
court Tuesday, asking a judge
to allowit to borrow$8 million
to finance the
bankruptcy.
By that night,
the FBI and
federal prose-
cutors had
gotten in-
volved.
On Friday,
Corzine resigned as chairman
and CEO and declined a $12
million severance package.
There is no question about
his integrity, said Sen. Ray
Lesniak, former chairman of
New Jerseys state Democratic
Party, who recruited Corzine
to run for U.S. Senate in 2000.
His judgment and risk-taking
is another issue.
Corzine joined MF Global
last year, determined to re-
make his image on Wall Street
after losing the 2009 New Jer-
sey governors race to Chris
Christie, the brash and under-
estimated Republican former
federal prosecutor. Before en-
tering politics first as U.S.
senator thenas a one-termgov-
ernor Corzine built his Wall
Street credentials at Goldman
Sachs, the white-shoe invest-
ment bank where he worked
for 25 years.
Jon has this avuncular pro-
fessorial demeanor with his
beard and sweater that masks
the alpha-male, aggressive,
risk-taking guy that he is, says
William Cohan, the author of
the book Money and Power:
How Goldman Sachs Came to
Rule the World.
Corzine, who declined to
comment for this article,

he holiday hiring season has begun for retailers, and given the areas persistently high unem-
ployment rate, employers have a broad pool of applicants to choose from this Christmas.
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre metropolitan
area has approached10 percent in recent months. It declined by one-tenth of a percentage point to
9.7 percent in September but remains the highest in Pennsylvania.
Employers The Times Leader
spoke with, including department
stores Sears and Boscovs, chocolate
maker Gertrude Hawk and delivery
service UPS said they plan to hire
about the same number of seasonal
employees this year as last year, leav-
ing more workers to compete for the
same jobs.
Lisa Griffiths, director of sales and
marketing for igourmet.com, said
her company is currently taking ap-
plications to fill about 250 seasonal
openings packing meat and cheese
gift baskets for the holiday season at
its West Pittston warehouse.
Griffiths said shes seen an in-
crease in applicants, and that more
of them are unemployed rather than
looking to supplement their income
for the holiday season.
Prior to 2008 wedget people that
had other jobs that just wanted to
make a little money for the holidays;
now we see more people that have
lost jobs that are looking for some-
thing, Griffiths said. Thats what
were seeingas far as the trendinem-
ployment, which is sad.
Boscovs heldjobfairs inlate Octo-
ber at its department stores in
Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Hazleton
and Pottsville to fill about 220 posi-
tions. The turnout was overwhelm-
ing, spokeswoman Irene Kelly said.
It was all ages, and there were
people that were 65 and 70 years
old, she said. Is it the economy? It
more than likely is; everybodys af-
fected by the economy.
Sears, plans to hire about 30 extra
employees for Christmas; UPS,
plans to hire120 drivers helpers and
30 warehouse workers in Wilkes-
Barre and Scranton; and Toys R Us,

Im Molly Hanlon Mirabito, and
Im running for judge.
I started my campaign with a quote
from JFK. As were winding down,
it seems appropriate to repeat it. He
said that political candidates should
submit to the voters ones views,
record and competence. I agree.
And an important part of this picture
is a candidates experience.
Ive been a practicing attorney for over 22 years. As
an Assistant District Attorney, I prosecute criminals,
collaborate with law enforcement offcers and agencies
and work with crime victims and their families. In my
private practice, I advise and work with clients on a
variety of issues. I understand the law and its impact in
all our lives. This is the experience I will bring to the
bench if elected.
But theres another important issue in this election.
I had an opportunity to meet many of our Luzerne
County neighbors over the past months. In our talks, the
importance of integrity kept popping up.
This word has been used a lot in the election. But
integrity is not just a word that I recently discovered.
Integrity is a way of life for me.
I learned about integrity while growing up in my mom
and dads home, and Ive never forgotten those early
lessons. I took them with me when I went to Notre Dame
to study law. They became part of my professional career
when I started practicing in our county. These lessons are
part of my life and professional work.
I cant think of a better way to end this letter than
with a paragraph I wrote in May about integrity. If Im
fortunate enough to be elected, Ill bring these lifelong
values and truths with me.
My word is my bond.
I will not sacrice my values for personal or professional gain.
I will not sacrice my values even if pressured to do so.
I will never break the public trust.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. You
can fnd more information about my work and campaign
on my web site: mollyforjudge.com. If you have a
smartphone, you can navigate to the site by using the

Many thanks for your support and kindness

and when he supervised bond
trading in the 1980s and 1990s.
In 1986, Cohan said, Corzine
had figured out a way to make a
lot of money by betting Treasu-
ry notes and bonds against
each other. However, one of the
bets went terribly wrong and
Goldman lost $150 million on
the trades. At that time, it was a
big loss for Goldman.
Though Corzine was a man-
ager, he went back to the trad-
ing desk and over the course of
seven months was able to turn
a $150 million loss into a $10
million gain.
Corzines trading prowess
only got better when his bond
trading unit made a profit of
$2.7 billion in 1993 by betting
on European currencies. How-
ever, in 1994, similar large bets
went awry, and the firmstarted
losing about $150 million
a month, Cohan said. No
one, not even the firms
chairman, couldpersuade
Corzine to dial back the
risky trades. Ultimately,
the firmlost almost $2 bil-
lion from Corzines
trades.
It was one risky gam-
bit after another; some
worked, some failed, but
it was a pattern that cant
be ignored, Cohan said.
Corzine made $400 mil-
lion in Goldmans initial public
offering, not bad for a farm boy
who arrived at the buttoned-
down Goldman wearing a
sports jacket. He was ousted in
a power struggle with another
top executive before the IPO.
After a term as New Jersey
governor marred by disastrous
plan to decrease state debt by
selling or leasing New Jersey
toll roads and by a near-fatal au-
to accident, Corzine returned
to Wall Street in March 2010,
intent on rehabilitating his im-
age. Eighteen months later, the
eighth-largest bankruptcy in
U.S. history has exposed lax in-
ternal controls that may have
prevented the firms last-min-
ute rescue.
Corzines work ethic and
drive were evident at MF Glob-
al, where he went into over-
drive to remake the brokerage
into a mini-Goldman. Its a de-
termination born on the farm,
where a young Corzine was as-
signed chores before school,
and as a high schooler, worked
on a highway road crew to save
money for college.
Before MF Global unraveled,
Corzine was seen as such a cru-
cial figure inthe companys fate
that bondholders insisted on a
so-called key man provision,
guaranteeing extra interest if
Corzine resigned for a position
in the Obama administration.
His biggest political nemesis
during his gubernatorial years
in Trenton, state Republican
Party leader Tom Wilson,
seized on Corzines determina-
tion when opposing him, most
famously by suing to force the
governor to release email com-
munications with a labor lead-
er he once dated.
His unwillingness to have
peripheral vision, his steadfast
commitment to a course he had
set, for me that made it easier
because it became very clear he
wasnt going to change his
thought process, said Wilson,
now a consultant and lobbyist.

stand in front of a big screen
displaying a river-rafting
game. They laugh as they
jump or wave their arms,
making their on-screen ava-
tars do the same through the
use of Kinect motion-sens-
ing technology.
Across the globe, hospitals in
Cantabria, Spain, are testing a Ki-
nect applicationallowingdoctors
and nurses to wave their arms to
pull up patient charts or X-rays.
And Razorfish, a marketing
agency that started in Seattle, is
experimentingwitha retail appli-
cationusingKinect that wouldal-
low shoppers to project their im-
age on a screen to see how vari-
ous purses theyre considering
look as they hold them.
Kinect, launched a year ago to
accompany Microsofts Xbox 360
gaming consoles, enables people
to control and take part in games
using only gestures, body move-
ments or voice commands.
Since then, though, people in
different spheres have experi-
mented with using Kinect for
other purposes.
Microsoft dubbed the phenom-
enon the Kinect Effect and ex-
pects to launch a Kinect for Win-
dows commercial program early
next year.
The programis designed to pro-
vide tools mainly a software de-
velopment kit to build business
applications using Kinect.
Its a phenomenon that some-
times surprises even its lead cre-
ator.
Theres an amazing amount
of stuff that moved me that I did
not expect, said Alex Kipman,
general manager of incubation
for Microsofts interactive enter-
tainment business.
The mission Kipman, a shag-
gy-haired, jeans- and black-and-
white sneakers-clad dude, faced
a while ago was to come up with
something that could help Mi-
crosoft revolutionize entertain-
ment or at least make it stand
above the Nintendo Wii.
The result was Kinect, which
allowed users to control the
Xbox using only voice and ges-
tures with no need for con-
trollers and to see and control
physical representations of
themselves onscreen on Xbox
games such as Dance Central
and River Rush.
Since the launch, Kipman
says, what has surprised him is
the personal stories he hears
from people.
Kipman heard about someone
who had bought a Kinect for
Xbox because he was a gamer,
but his little brother, who is au-
tistic and had never interacted
much with either him or with
technology, started playing
games with him using Kinect.
At the Lakeside Center for Au-
tism, staff members have found
the Kinect games helpful on a va-
riety of fronts.
The games work well for kids
who are either sensory seeking
and under or over responsive be-
cause the games provide a bio-
feedback mechanism for the
kids, said founder and CEO Dan
Stachelski. Imagine youre in a
totally dark forest first, you
seek a point of reference, Sta-
chelski said. Kids with autism
constantly seek that point of ref-
erence, so being able to see di-
rect feedback of their actions is
helpful, he said.
About six months ago, Micro-
soft launched a program giving
academics a software-develop-
ment kit for Kinect applications.
Now its expanding that pro-
gram to include commercial en-
tities, with more than 200 busi-
nesses, including Toyota and
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, in-
volved in a pilot program to
launch early next year.

Q: If a person is fired because
of their attitude or behavior,
what can they do to keep this
from happening again when
they get a new job?
A: First of all, kudos toyoufor
asking the question. Far too
many terminated employees
learn nothing from the experi-
ence because they automatical-
ly blame others for their diffi-
culties. As a result, they repeat
the same self-destructive pat-
tern in job after job.
To avoid this fate, you must
first figure out how you man-
aged to alienate the people who
controlled your paycheck. Even
if you have a different opinion,
you still need to know exactly
why management began to
view you as a problem.
If you lack this understand-
ing, contact your former boss or
human resources manager and
ask what you could have done
differently that might have
saved your job. Listen to the an-
swer without argument or de-
bate, then thank them for talk-
ing with you. If this feedback
puzzles you, get a second opin-
ion from family members, for-
mer co-workers or trusted
friends.
Next, clearly define any
changes you wish to make.
Identify the specific circum-
stances that trigger your detri-
mental behaviors, then decide
how you will respond to such
challenges in the future. When
these situations arise, as they
inevitably will, make every ef-
fort to manage your emotions
and react professionally.
While some behaviors are
easily altered, others have more
deep-seatedorigins. If your self-
help project proves to be a
struggle, seek advice from a
professional coach or counselor
who specializes in workplace is-
sues.
Q: After being promoted to
manager, I began supervising
my former co-workers, includ-
ing my friend Alicia. Every-
thing was fine until Alicia had a
major conflict with an employ-
ee who complained to higher
management. I was told to re-
solve the issue, so I had to repri-
mand Alicia for the way she
handled the situation.
Alicia now seems very bitter
and is obviously unhappy with
me. I would like to talk with her
about this, but Im not sure
what to say. Do you have any
suggestions?
A: The transition frombuddy
to boss is never easy, because it
represents a significant power
shift. You and your friend were
accustomed to relating as
equals, but now youre respon-
sible for reviewing her perform-
ance. This adjustment can be
extremely unsettling, so the
best approach is to address it
head-on. Start by acknowledg-
ing the change, then set the
stage for a new way of relating.
For example: Alicia, I know
youre upset with me because of
the incident with Mary. That
situation was difficult for me as
well, because Im still getting
used to being a manager and
giving people feedback about
their work. However, my hope
is that you and I can still com-
municate openly, because I will
also need feedback in this new
role.
The one thing you cannot tell
Alicia is that you would like to
have the same relationship as
before. Now that youre the
boss, that will be completely
impossible.

Wise workers look
in mirror after firing

hire about 150 seasonal workers
in addition to about 125 who re-
turn each holiday season to work
in his chocolate factory in Dun-
more and candy shops around
the region.
Thats about the same as Hawk
hires every year, but this year in
particular he said hes seen a
marked increase in applications.
Were seeing more applica-
tions than normal, Hawk said.
These are cyclical things. I re-
member 12, 15 years ago it was
hard to find people for seasonal
hires, unemployment was so low;
now were seeing a lot more.
Thats a sad statement, he
continued. Im not happy about
that. It makes it easier for us, but
of course I hate to see people out
of work. I can tell you for sure
were getting more applications
than would normally be the
case.
The jobs pay from minimum
wage to a high of $11 per hour,
which includes an attendance bo-
nus, at igourmet.
Margarita Rose, chairwoman
of the Economics Department at
Kings College, saidthe relatively
low pay and lack of benefits of-
fered by holiday jobs are a short
lifeline for local displaced work-
ers and likely wont offer much in
the way of career development.
But she said any work is better
than nothing.
For people who have been out
of the workplace for a while, this
may give them a little boost to
their workplaceskills, Rosesaid.
Rose added that local retailers
may finda silver lining inthe dev-
astation wreaked by tropical
storms Irene andLee, as consum-
ers look to replace cherished
items destroyed in the flood.
Especially after they have
been through a tough time, peo-
ple may be willing to spend a bit
more on a little holiday cheer
than they used to, Rose said.
Given the stalled spending
weve seen for the last couple
years Im sure (businesses) are
hopeful. I dont know how opti-
mistic they are, but theyre hope-
ful.
HIRING
Prior to 2008 wed get people that had
other jobs that just wanted to make a
little money for the holidays; now we see
more people that have lost jobs that are
looking for something. Thats what were
seeing as far as the trend in employment,
which is sad.
Lisa Griffiths, director of sales and marketing for igourmet.com
Barack Obamas health care over-
haul to expand the use of incen-
tives by upping the amount of
money employers can use to en-
tice workers to see the doctor.
This is the next evolution in
tryingtosqueeze costs out by not
incurring themin the first place,
said Sean Slovenski, chief execu-
tive of the firm handling rewards
for Humana, whichexpects toen-
roll nearly 1 million customers in
its incentive programin the com-
ing months. Its not the holy
grail, but its a giant leap forward
in bending the health care cost
trend.
Thousands of insured workers
are jumping at incentives, even
though employees at some sites
complain about preferential
treatment for colleagues healthy
enough to win money or prizes.
American Express travel man-
ager Carmen Macias signed up
for the companys Walk This Way
programin July, lured by an offer
of $200 to pay for health care ex-
penses.
It got me off the couch and
away from the computer, Ma-
cias, 45, said of the program she
credits for reducing her stress
level and weight. A whole new
window has opened up.
The expanding use of incen-
tives comes as employers grapple
with record spending on health
care.
The average price of employer-
sponsored health insurance for
families reached $15,073 this
year, more than twice the cost a
decade ago, the nonprofit Kaiser
Family Foundation recently re-
ported. This years costs jumped
9percent over 2010, withemploy-
ers shouldering most of the in-
creases.
Many companies are passing
more costs along to employees,
while some are reducing or can-
celing insurance altogether. In-
centive programs offer an alter-
native.
National surveys highlight the
changes under way.
A survey by Buck Consultants
found that 62 percent of large
companies offered incentives in
2010, and that 25 percent more
plan to do so in the future.
There is tremendous interest
fromemployers, saidBarry Hall,
a principal in the consulting firm.
Weve got this big surge in well-
ness programs, and incentives
are the fastest-growing aspect of
that.
But not everyone is sold on the
idea.
Some health care experts say
that rewards are unfair to low-in-
come workers who struggle to
stay healthy because they may
work longer hours, have limited
access to high-quality food and
enduremorestress fromeconom-
ic insecurity.
The result, critics say, is that
disadvantaged employees may
wind up paying more for health
benefits than colleagues with ac-
cess to gyms and other ameni-
ties. Charging one group of work-
ers more for insurance is a viola-
tion of the new health care law.
Some successful incentive pro-
grams have met criticism within
corporate ranks.
Nonsmokers at General Elec-
tric Co. complained about not
getting a financial break for their
healthful behaviors after the
company paid more than 400
workers as much as $750 each to
stopsmokingas part of a 2006ex-
periment.
Although the effort yielded
promising results (smokers who
got the cash incentives were
about three times more likely to
quit than those who received no
award), GEscrapped the rewards
and last year began imposing an
annual $625 insurance surcharge
on smokers while also providing
them with free nicotine replace-
ment therapy.
If you dont pick the right
health behaviors, its going to
cost you more because you cost
us more, said Virginia Proes-
takes, director of health benefits
for the Fairfield, Conn., company.

LONELY LOSERS
October was a stellar month
for stock markets around the
world, except for Japan and
Turkey. They were the only
two markets out of 46 tracked
by S&P Indices that fell last
month. Japan lost 0.9 percent,
and Turkey lost 0.3 percent.
Why couldnt they match the
S&P 500, which rose 10.8
percent for its best month
since December 1991? Japan
is struggling with a stronger
yen, which makes its exports
more expensive. Turkey had
too much of the opposite: A
weaker currency means the
Turkish central bank says in-
flation is set to soar.
CAUTION FLAG
Municipal bonds have been
some of the best investments
so far in 2011.Mutual funds
that own long-term muni
bonds are up an average of
8.5 percent for 2011 through
Wednesday, according to
Morningstar. Compare that
with a drop of 2.5 percent for
large-cap blend stock funds.
But theres still reason for cau-
tion, even though muni bonds
promise tax-free income.
Downgrades are on the rise.
Moodys said it downgraded
5.3 muni bonds for every one
that it upgraded last quarter.
Thats the most lopsided ratio
since the 2008 financial crisis.
HOLIDAY BUZZ WORDS
Gift cards, free shipping and iPads
are expected to be highly sought-af-
ter this holiday season. Richard
Feinberg, a professor at Purdue
Universitys Retail Institute, says gift
cards will be the No. 1 gift item. And
tablets sales of which are domi-
nated by iPads will be among the
top electronic gifts, along with
smartphones. Online shopping is
expected to rise about 15 percent,
helped by consumers growing inter-
est in getting orders shipped for
free. Competition among retailers
will be fierce, so Feinberg said con-
sumers can expect to see near-con-
stant discounts.

In his new role as chief equity strat-
egist for Wells Fargo, John Manley
brings 30 years of experience and a
long-term perspective to stock mar-
kets. He discusses how current
market conditions compare to those
in the early 1980s.
With every development in the
Greek crisis, the market swings
dramatically. What are investors
really reacting to?
I think if you really push anyone,
bull bear or in between, there is a
consensus on Wall Street that in
the future some time, were going
to all have to get by with less.
That the U.S. is going to be dimin-
ished in its purchasing power, that
China wont be as fast a grower
as it was, that Europe wont be
able to live the way they did, that
South America will have to trim
back on their asset production. I
think, embedded, we know there
are tough times ahead. ... And
[the market is] very, very cheap.
Depending on what kind of earn-
ings measure you want to use for
the S&P 500 or looking at where
Treasurys are, its very cheap. Its
cheap for a reason. ... In the late
1970s and early 1980s we were
going through the same thing with
inflation. Wed already had two
horrible bear markets. The stock
market was incredibly cheap. ...
And the question was, when are
we going to deal with the prob-
lem? Whens it going to get
fixed? Its a great long-term buy-
ing opportunity but theres no rea-
son to think any of this is going to
end soon.
So where would investors find
those companies that have
been deeply discounted?
I think health care, which has
been one of the best sectors year
to date is still a pretty good place
to invest. There I think you have
to look at demographics and the
inevitability of popular will to over-
come political obstacles. If you
ask people whats very high on
your list to do, staying alive has
got to be up there. ... No one
wants to pay more for health care
but I think the inevitability of it is
there. So I think these are pretty
decent multiples. Theyre not
cheap; I think the big pharma
companies have issues with drugs
coming off patent. They also have
tremendous cash flows they could
re-deploy if they wanted to. So I
think theres good value there.
At the same time, the multi-na-
tional consumer staples the big
companies I think thats more
promising than not for the next
few years. This is a great way to
get exposure over the years be-
cause a lot of these companies
have big footprints overseas.
Where overseas?
China, Brazil emerging mar-
kets. The places where almost
certainly therell be more growth
over the five-year period. Who
knows over the short term?
Whats the first thing the middle
class wants to buy? Its cosmet-
ics, its toothpaste, its tissues. Its
little branded things that dont
cost that much but allow them to
be distinguished from the way
their parents lived. And its not a
huge bet if the economy softens.
You may not go out and buy a
new car but youre still going to go
out and buy tissues. Youre still
going to buy the brand name.
And I think its a great way to get
exposure there.
So, big multinational compa-
nies with good international expo-
sure. Theyre not cheap versus
the market, but theyre still cheap
versus their norm because
everythings kind of cheap.

InsiderQ&A
Mike Mayo:
at it again
Pallavi Gogoi, Jenni Sohn AP
Mike Mayo is the Wall Street
analyst who has been a thorn in the
side of banks. Outspoken and blunt,
Mayo has been ridiculed by his
peers, shut out of industry confer-
ences and slighted by CEOs. In
2000, he was fired from Credit
Suisse over a report that told
investors to sell all bank stocks.
Today, Mayo, 48, is an analyst
at Credit Agricole Securities who
sympathizes with the Occupy Wall
Street movement. He has poured
his outrage into a book about his
two decades in the financial
industry: Exile on Wall Street: One
Analysts Fight to Save the Big
Banks From Themselves.
He spoke with The Associated
Press recently:
Why did you write the book?
Ive worked at six Wall Street
firms. I analyzed Wall Street. I was
fired from one and muzzled by
another. Ive written about the
problems at banks. Ive testified in
Congress about the problems and
conflicts on Wall Street, twice. My
perspective is unique.
So does that put you on the side
of the Occupy Wall Street
protesters?
Im as outraged as them. Ive
been on the inside protesting for 20
years.
When I started out on Wall
Street I did exactly the way I was
taught in business school and my
analyst accreditation. But when my
analysis was negative, like when I
said KeyCorp was not a good
investment, the firm cut back on
business with my bank. I was
penalized. Simply put, the rules of
the game as I learnt in school are
not the rules that are played on
Wall Street.
Whats your view of compensa-
tion on Wall Street, which is at
the core of the anger on Main
Street today?
Citi is a prime example. Just
look at the last decade. The bank
has paid out one of the highest
CEO compensation of any bank
and had the worst stock price
performance. ... The current CEO
Vikram Pandit has made a big deal
about taking a token $1 as salary
after the financial crisis. But thats
disingenuous. Before that, Citi had
already awarded him about $38
million in 2008, along with another
$165 million from the sale of his
hedge fund in 2007. Citi stock is
down 90 percent during his tenure.

Utilities have had a good run this year while the
stock market hit its highs and lows. So far In 2011,
utility companies in the S&P 500 have risen 11 per-
cent, the most of the indexs 10 industry groups.
The index is still down 1 percent for the year be-
cause of uncertainty about Europes ability to han-
dle its debt and signs that the U.S. economy is still
struggling to return to a healthy rate of growth. Util-
ities do well when investors fear that the economy
could be slowing. Thats because consumers and
businesses still have to pay for heat and power
even if they cut down on spending.
Some utilities have done especially well so far
this year. Standard & Poors tracks most of the
major power, water and gas companies as part of
its Global Industry Classification System. This
screen, powered by FactSet, shows the ones that
have done the best. Recent earnings reports
have been strong for a number of big utilities.
CenterPoint Energy had soaring profits because
of the restructuring of the electricity market in
Texas, which led Centerpoint to sell some of its
assets. FirstEnergy also had a good quarter be-
cause it purchased Allegheny Energy. That lifted
its profit margins.

Yields, mortgage rates fall
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note sank on
worries that Europes rescue plan for Greece
might be in jeopardy. The fears sent prices for
Treasurys higher because investors see them as
safe investments. When a Treasurys price rises,
its yield falls. Lower Treasury yields helped pull the
average rate of a 30-year fixed mortgage down to
4 percent last week from 4.1 percent.

IDLAND, Mich. The license plate on Lowell Hen-
dricksons pickup reads IMCLAUS, and a look at
the man behind the wheel explains it.
His snowy hair falls to his shoulders, his white beard to his
chest. Spectacles perchonhis upturnednose, andhis waistline
well, you get the idea.
Hendrickson is indeed Claus
Santa Claus. But even Santa needs an
occasional refresher course to keep up
with the newest toys and the latest in
beard-grooming and resume-writing,
which is why Hendrickson drove from
his North Hills home in the San Fer-
nando Valley to eastern Michigan this
month to attend the Charles W. Ho-
ward Santa Claus School, reputedly
the worlds oldest institution dedicat-
ed to the art of being Santa.
One thingbecame clear as the once-
a-year, three-day course unfolded: Its
not easy being Santa in these days of
economic distress, families splintered
by war, liability issues (Santa never
flirts, and his hands must always be
visible) and children asking for things
that parents andgrandparents cant af-
ford or dont understand.
Such as iPads, iPods and smart-
phones, for instance.
Thats why people like Hendrick-
son, 71, make the pilgrimage to Mid-
land to attend what graduates have
called the Harvard of Santa schools
and fire up the spirit that will carry
them through the next two months.
Its not a job; its a calling, said
Hendrickson, who has been Santa
since the 1970s and who mainly does
private holiday parties. He has attend-
ed the school six times.
When I come back here, its like
coming home. ... And theres always
something new to learn, he said.
Six visits is not unusually high for
many of the Santas a fewwith Mrs.
Claus in tow who gathered for the
opening day of class. Roland Daven-
port, a red-haired Michigan lawyer al-
so known as attorney Santa, was on
his eighth. Tom Valent, the schools
owner, went through the course 10
times before he and his wife, Holly
(her real name), eventually took over
the school.

rennan Morton is the owner and operator of NEPA CrossFit in Wilkes-Barre. Morton, 30, is a
native of New Hampshire and is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire, where he
studiedbusiness andcommunications. He alsoservedfor four years withthe UnitedStates Marines.
He and his wife, Amanda, live in Drums.
Though you were always athletic
and interested in working out, youve
said that it was your time in the mil-
itarythat ultimatelyledtoyouwant-
ing to open your own gym. How
so?I was in a special operations
unit intheMarineCorps, anda
lot of it was fitness-based.
You had to try out to get in-
to it, and it was very gruel-
ing. Everyone wanted to
be fit. Everyone wanted to
be the top guy. It was all al-
pha males. It was very competitive.
And so it was a very good culture of fit-
ness. When I was in Iraq, I was carrying
around a 180 pound ruck(sack), which
you had to carry for a very long dis-
tance, so your fitness level really kind
of dictates how easy or how hard its
going to be. The unit I was in was
known as being the most physically fit
in the Marine Corps.
Still, you could have just joined a
gym. Why open one? When I moved
here, no one was really doing what I
saw as functional fitness. It was still
the classic bodybuilding: do a few
weights, then sit around for 30 sec-
onds and talk. What we do is complete-
ly different. Our workouts are very
short and intense. Youre in and youre
out. Theyre for different reason. If you
get stronger, awesome. Its going to
happen. But its also about making the
wholebodyafunctional thing. I want to
be the guy whos 85 and dancing
around, not driving a little scooter. Our
definition of fitness is vastly different
thanalot of other peopleinthis valley.
What do you enjoy the most about
it? I love the people. We have a com-
munity here thats beyond anything
Ive ever seen before. Most gyms, you
go in and put your headphones on, and
youre kind of doing your own thing.
Here, its a lot different. We teach small
personal training classes, so its one or
two coaches for 10 people, so theres a
sense of everyone doing it together.
And outside of that, we do a lot. We
play paint-ball together. When the
flood hit, I sent out a text, People need
help, andI hadhalf of mygymshowup.
We all got in vans, we all drove around,
and moved peoples furniture. We
spent the Thursday before the flood
movingall of myclients that neededto,
and then we started volunteering else-
where. Its a very close, tight-knit cul-
ture.
What do you enjoy doing in your
freetime?I write. I actuallywant tobe
a writer. Thats been my ultimate goal
since I was a little kid. I just published
by first book on Kindle. And Imwriting
a novel that Id love to get published.
Everyone that has a normal desk job
wants to go home and go running and
go exercise, but this is all we do. When I
get home, I actually want to do desk
work. I want to sit down and take care
of mybills andjust sit downfor littlebit,
and I tend to write a lot. I also do triath-
lons and I just did my first Iron Man.
And I like to hang out with my wife a
lot.
Music? It changes daily. Its funny,
because Ill come into the gym and lis-
ten to the most screamy heavy metal
while Im lifting, and then Ill listen to
classical like Mozart on the way home.

A
merica is noting the150th anni-
versary of its great heroic and
tragic internal conflict, the Civil
War. If you had ancestors in the United
States between1861and1865, there is a
good chance that one or more of them
served in the military.
The exploits of prominent Luzerne
County people are well documented in
local histories. For most other geneal-
ogists pursuing their ancestors, though,
here are some suggestions for finding out
about their military service.
First, try to link a name with one of the
regiments raised wholly or partly in the
county. Agood place to start is the old
multi-volume Smith-Harvey History of
Wilkes-Barre and Wyoming Valley. That
history contains rosters of regiments
raised here and companies raised here
but attached to out-of-area regiments.
You can also look up ancestral names
in History of the Pennsylvania Volun-
teers, by Samuel Bates. Smith-Harvey
and Bates may be found at the Luzerne
County Historical Society. The Oster-
hout Free Library also has a copy of the
Smith-Harvey history.
Once you have made the crucial link of
a name with a regiment, it is time to
search for the paperwork youll need to
document your ancestors service. The
most important documents are service
records and pension records, which you
may order. The largest repository is the
National Archives (search for National
Archives and Records Administration).
Individual state archives (search for
Pennsylvania State Archives) also con-
tain many records.
Agood guide to what records exist at
the national and state levels may be
found in the classic Tracing Your Civil
War Ancestor, by BertramH. Groene,
available in many libraries and online
(search by title). For Pennsylvanians, the
Guide to Genealogical Resources at the
Pennsylvania State Archives, by Robert
M. Dructor, is valuable. Incidentally, the
books will offer advice on ancestors
serving in the Navy as well as the Army.
The archives will also offer less-well-
known records, such as requests by
survivors for free tombstones a good
help for determining when a veteran
died. In1890 the U.S. Census Bureau did
a special census of Civil War veterans
and widows, available on microfilm
through larger public libraries. It is ar-
ranged by state and by regiment and can
be obtained through public libraries.
Several other publications deserve
mention. One is the online subscription
service ancestry.com, which offers brief,
free trials. Arecent issue of Family Tree
Magazine with an article titled Trace
Your Civil War Ancestor may be or-
dered in reprint at www.familytreemaga-
zine.com.
There is a great deal of information
available beyond these official sources.
Many Civil War enthusiasts have estab-
lished websites dedicated to regiments
or ships fromthat war, often with rosters
and accounts of battles. Some list ceme-
teries and burials. Of course there are
innumerable books ranging fromency-
clopedias through battle accounts to
histories of individual regiments and
special topics, such as medical care.
In the decades after the war, many
veterans joined the Grand Army of the
Republic organization. Among its many
posts was one on South Main Street in
Wilkes-Barre. The GAR, however, fo-
cused on lobbying for a pension, and
what records exist are fewand scattered.
Since we are dealing with local veter-
ans, dont neglect the Northeast Penn-
sylvania Genealogical Society, the Lu-
zerne County Historical Society and the
many smaller historical societies of the
Wyoming Valley area. They are filled
with helpful people who are skilled in
tracing ancestors and turning up vital
historical documents.
Make 2011-2015 your personal four-
year campaign to learn all about your
own local ancestors who saved the
union.

This year marked a milestone:
It was the 75th class and the big-
gest, with nearly 120 students
who each paid about $400 for
lectures, field trips, hands-on
training and two banquets.
Howard, the school founder,
was a Santa with an impressive
resume that included being St.
Nick for Macys. He opened the
school in 1937 after coming
across too many other Santas
with frayed beards, shoddy suits
and limited knowledge of rein-
deer. Valent took over the school
in 1986 and retains most of Ho-
wards original curriculum,
along with modern additions
such as contract issues and how
to endure the rigors of being a
mall Santa (get a flu shot and ne-
gotiate regular bathroom
breaks).
Tinsel Santa hats dangled
fromthe ceiling of a hotel confer-
ence room where the pupils
gathered for introductions.
There were Santas with tattoos
and Santas in sunglasses. Santas
in reindeer sweaters. Santas in
Hawaiian shirts and in T-shirts
and jeans. Some wore boots,
some wore red high-tops. There
were Santas as young as 28 and
Santas as old as 80. Santas text-
ed and emailed, and Santa cell-
phones rang one with a ring-
tone that trilled the Dance of
the Sugar Plum Fairy.
There were a few slender San-
tas, and some with bald heads,
shaved faces or dark hair. Some
leaned on canes. Mike Durkin,
who referred to himself as pi-
rate Santa, wore an eye patch
that he swaps for a realistic pros-
thetic eyeball when he gets in
the big chair, Santa-speak for
playing the role.
But most looked as if they had
stepped out of a Christmas card,
from their blue eyes and white
beards to their ballooning mid-
sections. Several had traveled
thousands of miles, including a
veteran Santa from Norway, and
about half were here for the first
time.
Valent, who owns a construc-
tion business, built the Santa
House at a busy downtown cor-
ner to ensure Santa had a place
to host children during the holi-
day season. Oversized toys, spar-
kling ornaments, tinsel, giant
nutcrackers, electric trains and
motorizedreindeer fill the caver-
nous main room. The center-
piece is a huge Santa chair.
Valents cheerful demeanor
belies the seriousness with
whichhe approaches his mission
of ensuring that Santa Claus em-
bodies perfection, from fresh
breath and clean whiskers to im-
peccable morals. Hes not here to
get these Santas jobs the
school has no placement servic-
es. Hes here to make sure that
whether they play Santa in malls
or parades, or in hospitals,
homeless shelters or private par-
ties, they do it flawlessly.
Its a privilege to be Santa
Claus, said Valent, who has
been Santa Claus himself for 35
years, from Greenland to Mid-
land. Youre taking on a charac-
ter that stands for all good
things.
SANTA

Its not a job; its a
calling.

Who attended the Charles W.
Howard Santa Claus School
It really depends on where Im
at. Idsay my favorite bandof all-
time is Chevelle.
Favorite meal? Cheeseburg-
ers and fries.
Always in the fridge? Meat.
Favorite movie? Brave-
heart.
Favorite TVshows? Archer
and Dexter.
Favorite books or authors?
My favorite author is probably
Kurt Vonnegut or Stephen King
Slaughterhouse-Five is my fa-
vorite book and The Dark Tow-
er series is a close second.
Favorite places youve visit-
ed? Before I went in the Marine
Corps, I went cross county for
four months. Just me and my
truck. And Id say Zion National
Park in Utah is probably the
most beautiful place Ive ever
beeninmyentirelife. That is just
unreal. As far as cities go, Id say
Wilmington, North Carolina.
Favorite vacation spot?
Wherever my family is. Specifi-
cally, my brother. The where
doesnt matter. I just like family.
Proudest personal moment?
Honestly, I think the two proud-
est moments of my life were
when I tried out for and made
the two hardest schools in the
Marine Corps. I was a reconnais-
sance Marine, and I was a sniper.
And those are the two hardest
things Ive ever done in my life. I
accomplished both of those, and
theyweretwothings that I want-
ed to do, and I got to do.

When the 45th annual CMA Awards,
hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Under-
wood, takeplaceinNashvilleonWednesday
night, Jimmy Harnen will be paying close
attention to the categories in which his Re-
public Nashville artists are nominated.
Heres a look at some of those contests,
along with a fewother major ones.
Entertainer of the Year

Jason Aldean
Brad Paisley
Blake Shelton
Taylor Swift
Keith Urban
Paisley won the top prize last year, but
hell have stiff competition fromSwift, who
sold out stadiums this summer (including
LincolnFinancial FieldinPhiladelphia) and
again demonstrated her ability to take the
genre to new heights, as both a songwriter
and a performer.
Female Vocalist of the Year
Sara Evans
Miranda Lambert
Martina McBride
Taylor Swift
Carrie Underwood
Evans could pull out a surprise win here,
but itll likely be Lambert who repeats. The
distaff half of countrys newest power cou-
ple, alongside husband Blake Shelton, is re-
vered by country and rock critics alike,
which is no small feat.
Male Vocalist of the Year
Jason Aldean
Kenny Chesney
Brad Paisley
Blake Shelton
Keith Urban
Love or hate his country-rap hit Dirt
Road Anthem, theres no denying Aldean
has had one hot year, releasing a string of
hits and drawing huge numbers of fans on
tour. His August concert at The Toyota Pa-
vilionat Montage Mountainwas the largest
of summer. This could be his time.
NewArtist
The Band Perry
Luke Bryan
Eric Church
Thompson Square
Chris Young
Bryan, Church and Young have all re-
leased three albums but are eligible in this
category under CMA guidelines. Still, the
Band Perry is a breath of fresh air with its
traditional-countrystyle. Itstheonetobeat.
Vocal Group
Lady Antebellum
Little Big Town
Rascal Flatts
The Band Perry
Zac Brown Band
While itdbe great tosee perennial under-
dogs Little Big Town finally get some long-
overduerecognition, LadyA, dueat theMo-
hegan Sun Arena next month (with singer
Hillary Scott), seem unstoppable. Theyll
take the trophy for a third straight year.
Single of the Year
ALittle Bit Stronger, Sara Evans
Colder Weather, Zac Brown Band

NOMINEES INCLUDE:

WhereAreYouNow, JimmyHarnensayswithaknow-
ing smile. Its a warmSeptember afternooninNashville,
and Harnen is seated behind a desk in his office on Music Row, happily
chatting about those dreamy days in1989 when he and his band Synch
putWilkes-Barreandspecificallyhishometownof Plymouthonthe
Billboard charts with their soaring Top10 power ballad.
They always say if you ask any artist
about the first time they heard their
song on the radio, theyll know exactly
where they were, he says, recalling the
summer daywhenheheardWhereAre
YouNow comeover theFMdial. I was
sitting on my front porch in Plymouth,
and KRZ played it. I was just smitten.
These days, with his rock-star years
behind him, Harnen gets excited when
he hears a different band on the radio,
specifically, the Band Perry. And for
good reason: The country trio was the
first act Harnensignedwhenin2009, af-
ter years of workinginradiopromotion,
he accepted what would become his
Jimmy Harnen: To Nashville by way of Wilkes-Barre
Plymouth native Jimmy Harnen,
the boy who became famous for
the song Where Are You Now, is
now president of the Republic
Nashville record label in the coun-
try-music capital of the world.
At top: The Eli Young Band is just another Jimmy Harnen success story. Above left: Country-music superstar Martina
McBride has found a home with Republic Nashville, the record label headed by Harnen, a Plymouth native. Above center:
Locals who were around in the late 80s may fondly remember the man second fromleft in this shot of the band Synch,
with whomHarnen became a one-hit wonder with Where Are You Now. Above right: Loretta Lynn throwback Sunny Swee-
ney fondly recalls the support Harnen gave her as president of Republic Nashville. While shopping her out to radio stations,
he handed out goodie bags full of sunny merchandise, including sun visors, sunscreen, etc.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Relationships are always
changing, though the
changes are often gradual.
You anticipate how things
will develop. You know it
before it happens. You
feel the wind changing
direction, and you gather
meaning from the shift.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You endear yourself to
others, though certainly
not on purpose. Youre
just in that sweet mood
you wear so well the one
where you cant help but
do nice things for people.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Every place you go has
a mood that was there
before you arrived on the
scene. You notice the looks
on the faces around you
and know exactly where
its at. Your just being in a
place lifts the vibration for
everyone.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Theres someone you like
immensely who has been
on your mind even more
than usual. Reflect on why
youre so smitten. Your
answer will tell more about
you than the other person.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
wont agree with all you
hear. Dont be afraid to
question people when you
dont quite follow their
logic. Its acceptable and
even appropriate to hold
people accountable for
what they say.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Youll gather information,
but it just doesnt seem to
add up. Instead of going
deeper into the issue, take
a step back. You already
know the answer intuitive-
ly. Your gut is giving you
signals. Start reading.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
About six things will be
thrown at you at once.
You dont have to catch
all six. Take it one task
at a time. Exercise will
help you get grounded and
prevent you from going
into overwhelm.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Your senses will be
heightened, not because
you are given some kind
of superpower by the sun,
but because you tune in to
your surroundings. Your
awareness makes you
experience things deeply.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). It will do you no good
to dwell intellectually
on matters of the heart
today; feelings dont want
to be processed that way.
Instead, let the emotions
work through your body
and soul. Reserve judg-
ment for a later date.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You feel at times that
you are so far from your
goal that its futile to keep
trying. When the feeling
creeps in, you know that
its time to give yourself a
break from all the striving.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You want to feel loved
and supported. This is
what drives you to make a
special effort to look and
behave in an ultra-attrac-
tive way. One could say
your efforts are just one
way you love and support
yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Harmony depends on how
well you know your loved
ones. This is no time to get
overconfident about the
matter. Ask questions, and
watch as though you were
just learning about the
person for the first time.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Nov.
6). Youll be a superstar at
work after you get special
training before the year
is over. Youll enjoy the
love that comes into your
life, mostly because you
dont expect it, though you
recognize that you really
deserve it. March brings
terrific news. In June,
youll invest in yourself,
which pays off handsomely
in August. Gemini and Leo
people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 4, 12,
14, 39 and 1.

why he always called the thing

DEAR ABBY
Wear and tear take a toll
on family holiday hostess
Dear Abby:
Over the
past five
years, family
gatherings
have become
increasingly
stressful. When they come
here, my nieces dont control
their young children. Last
year after everyone left, I
sat down and cried! The
mess was horrific, and the
damage to my house and
yard was dumbfounding.
Whats worse is they didnt
seem to care.
Im dreading this holiday
season. I have refused
to host anymore and my
husband supports my
decision. But I feel bad
for my parents. They are
in their 70s and have always
had pride in their family.
As our family has
branched out, respect has
gone completely out the
window. Last Thanksgiving
we were all on our own.
We always invite my parents,
but they decline because
they dont want to hurt
any feelings. We have told
them it doesnt matter
who theyre with, as long
as they celebrate with
one of us.
I feel like Im being
punished for not having
the whole family at my
house. If it werent for my
daughter, we would leave
during the holidays to avoid
the dissension. How do I
deal with my feelings and
live with myself? I dont
understand the disrespect
in the young generation. If
you say anything about a
childs behavior, you are
verbally abused and made
an outcast.
Giving Up in Texas
Dear Giving Up: Im glad
you wrote, because youre
blaming the wrong people.
The disrespect you have
described is a direct result
of children not having been
taught how to behave by
their ineffective parents,
and because there have been
no consequences for bad
behavior.
If you are asked why
there will be no celebrations
at your house this year,
tell the questioner its be-
cause you can no longer
handle the mess and the
damage. Its the truth. And
PLEASE dont feel guilty for
doing so.
As to your parents, please
understand that staying
home is THEIR choice.
They may prefer to celebrate
or not by themselves.
It has no reflection on you.

dreamjob.
So where is Jimmy Harnen
now? To answer his hit singles
long-ago question: He is oversee-
ing one of country musics most
vibrant recordlabels as president
of Republic Nashville, home to
such top-selling acts as Martina
McBrideandtheEli YoungBand.
This was always my goal. I
wanted to run a record compa-
ny, says Harnen, looking more
like a hip music fan than the 48-
year-old modest but influential
recordexecutive he actuallyis, in
sneakers, a black Quicksilver
hoodie and a Dallas Cowboys
baseball hat. Theres nothing
more fun than taking someone
with their hopes and dreams all
over theradioandsellingrecords
and downloads. It cant get any
better than this.
Actually it can, if McBride and
the Band Perry happen to bring
Republic Nashville some tro-
phies at Wednesdays 45th an-
nual Country Music Association
Awards (airing at 8 p.m. on
ABC). Powerhouse singer
McBride is nominated for Best
Female Vocalist, while the Band
Perry, the sibling vocal group
made up of brothers Reid and
Neil Perry and their big sister
Kimberly, are competing in five
categories, including New Artist
andSongof theYear, for theNo. 1
hit If I Die Young.
Jimmy is a proud dad when it
comes to the Band Perry, says
Kimberly Perry, describing the
bond that formed between artist
and executive when Harnen in-
ked the deal with the group. He
has fostereda relationshipwhere
we can be 100 percent honest
with each other. That really al-
lows the artist to thrive.
Her brother Reid Perry says
the band was sold on Harnen
even before meeting him. They
had originally planned to court
himat Capitol Records, where, as
senior vicepresident of radiopro-
motion, Harnenhelpedscore air-
playfor artistssuchasLadyAnte-
bellum, Eric Church and Darius
Rucker.
Capitol was at the top of our
list mainly because of what Jim-
mywas gettingdonethereonthe
radio, Reid says. But when he
became president of Republic
Nashville, our sights readjusted.
Owes it all to his parents
Harnen, however, says his own
sights, as an artist or otherwise,
were never set on a career in
Nashville, despite his parents
suggestion.
My mother and father would
always tell me, If you would just
get into country music, you
would do so well, he remem-
bers. But I knew nothing about
it. Like most kids in my home-
town, I didnt listen to it back
then.
Ironically, it was Harnens pop
success that led himto the coun-
try-music capital. After the fol-
low-up to Where Are You Now
(a single titled The Best I Can
Do)madeadent at anadult-con-
temporarystationinTampa, Har-
nen was persuaded to record a
new album with Nashville pro-
ducer Cliff Downs. Soon he and
his wife, Lynn, were flying back
andforthtoTennessee. But while
the album never found a home,
the Harnens did.
We really fell in love with
Nashville and decided to move
here, he says, still grateful for
Lynns unwavering support. The
couplehastwochildren: Luke,11,
and Katie, 9. She said to me, I
canget ajob, andyoucandoyour
thing. Shes amazing and beauti-
ful.
The toll it all took
But the grueling process of
shoppinghis newalbumtolabels
left him burned out and disillu-
sioned, and he decided it was
time to change direction.
I was maybe 33, and I was
done. It was right after my dad
passed away, says Harnen, who
recently relocated his mother,
HelenHarnen, fromPlymouthto
Nashville. (His father, James
Harnen, died in 1995.) I made
this record, and I was proud of it,
but somethinginsidemesaidyou
need to growup. You need to get
a job.
Eventually, Harnen ended up
at the now-defunct DreamWorks
Nashville, working alongside vi-
sionary executive Scott Borchet-
ta. It was Borchetta, the founder
of the Big Machine Label Group,
and the mastermind behind su-
perstar Taylor Swifts career, who
ultimately gave Harnen his shot.
Scott came to me and said,
Imstartingthis label, andI need
a guy to run it, Harnen says of
the birth of Republic Nashville.
Without hesitation, he accepted.
I said absolutely. And that was
two and a half years ago.
In that time, Harnen has culti-
vated a roster of talent built
around powerful but distinct
voices. Along with McBride and
the Band Perry, Republic Nash-
ville is home to Texas road war-
riors the Eli Young Band and Lo-
retta Lynn throwback Sunny
Sweeney. If you look at our acts,
theyre all based around a great
voice, Harnen says. Sunny has
a very unique voice. As do Kim-
berly, Martina and Mike Eli.
When the voice is unique it takes
its own oxygen on the radio, so
theyre never steppingonone an-
other.
Harnens perspective on what
works best for radio can only
comefromsomeonewhohashad
experience behind the micro-
phone, too, Sweeney says.
Because he was an artist, he
sees both sides of music, not just
the business side. To watch him
working the radio side of it is
amazing, she says. It takes a ve-
ry special person to be able to
walk that line.

ing any artist on country radio,

World War II was the greatest and
most terrible event in human history,
Max Hastings writes, and any doubts are
sure to be dispelled by reading his grip-
ping and comprehen-
sive account of that
epic struggle.
From Adolf Hit-
lers invasion of Po-
land to the atomic
bombs that hastened
Japans surrender,
Inferno details all
the major cam-
paigns, with vi-
gnettes and anec-
dotes that provide a richly textured pic-
ture of what soldiers and civilians on all
sides experienced on the battlefield and
the home front.
Hastings is a former British newspa-
perman and renowned military historian
who has written more than 20 books,
many of them focusing on aspects of
World War II.
Inferno, the broadest andmost ambi-
tious of his books about the war, draws
from letters and diaries of ordinary peo-
ple and even from novels by Pacific war
veterans Norman Mailer and James
Jones.
There are spellbinding accounts of
campaigns too often overlooked: the
1939-40WinterWarsparkedbytheSoviet
attackonFinland, brutal ethnicclashes in
Yugoslavia and the bravery of the British-
led troops in jungle fighting that recap-
tured Burma after inflicting the greatest
defeat ever suffered by a Japanese army.
Still, according to Hastings, virtually
all the combat inthe Pacific, the Mediter-
ranean and Western Europe was but a
sideshow to the central face-off between
the legions of Hitler and Joseph Stalin.
Some 40,000 Russian civilians perished
as many as died in the entire London
blitz during a 14-hour Luftwaffe as-
sault on Stalingrad, and 90 percent of all
German combat deaths occurred on the
easternfront. TheSovietssuffered65per-
cent of all Alliedmilitarydeaths, followed
by China, with 23 percent; the U.S. and
Britain accounted for 2 percent each.
Hastings offers tantalizing what ifs
and how they might have altered the
course of the war. He maintains that Hit-
ler erred in launching his bombers
against England rather than sending
troops to take Egypt and Malta. He also
questions the need for the U.S. cam-
paigns in the Philippines, Iwo Jima and
Okinawa when strategic bombing and a
naval blockade would have sufficed to
bring Japan to its knees.
Nomajor figurelooms larger thanWin-
stonChurchill, the towering personality
of the forces of light, in whose absence
Hastings questions whether Britain
wouldhave continuedtodefy Hitler after
the fall of France.
Inferno is a magnificent achieve-
ment, a one-volume history that should
find favor among readers thoroughly im-
mersed in World War II and those ap-
proachingthesubject forthefirst time. As
the years thin the ranks of those who
fought inthe war, Hastings balancedand
elegantly written prose should help en-
sure that the bloodshed, bravery andbru-
tality of that tragic conflict arent forgot-
ten.

Inferno: The World at War, 1939-1945
(Knopf), by Max Hastings:
By JERRY HARKAVY
For The Associated Press
C
olson Whitehead really couldnt
have picked a better time to
write a zombie novel. Even
looking past its Halloween-adjacent re-
lease date, Zone One comes at a time
when such horrors are enjoying a pop
culturerenaissancethat arguablybegan
with Danny Boyles 28 Days Later in
2002. Inrecent yearsthefascinationhas
grown to include fan conventions,
groaningly slouched zombie walks
through city streets and the splatter-
coresuccess of AMCs adaptationof the
graphic novel series, The Walking
Dead, which drewrecord ratings in its
season premiere.
Opening with a romantic remem-
brance of a still normal New York
from a young survivor-turned-soldier
ironicallynicknamedMarkSpitz(ahar-
rowing incident involving a refusal to
swim to safety is explained later),
Zone One spares
the forms conven-
tional reliance on
summer-movie
scares and chase
scenes though
theres plenty of
those too and
instead turns an
unsparingfocus on
the dark reality
such a world-crumbling plague un-
leashes.
Now part of a militia governed by
whatsleft of ahobbled, corporate-spon-
soredAmericanPhoenix government
inBuffalo, MarkSpitzispart of anambi-
tious effort to reclaima country for the
living that starts with a block-by-block
sweep through a walled-off section of
Lower Manhattan that gives the book
its name.
Even as Zone Ones structure ping-
pongs between flashbacks to Mark
Spitzs tense struggle during the
plagues early days in doomed friend-
ships and failed hideouts and the ashy
horrors of a hollowed-out Manhattan,
disorienting flashes from past and pre-
sent begin blurring into each other in a
way that mirrors Mark Spitzs growing
PASD Post-Apocalyptic Stress Dis-
order,anabsurdtherapeuticlabel from
the newworld thats just one of the de-
tails showing that even as civilization
crumbles theres plenty of roomfor hu-
manitys old, unsavory habits. Linguis-
tically cryptic military diagnoses, the
PR churn of the war machine and a
merciless city that fed on its own long
before its citizens started feeding on
one another still endure inWhiteheads
apocalypse, all thewaytothebitterend.
And maybe thats the scariest part.

RAND MARAIS,
Minn. Sand-
wiched between the
magnificence of Lake
Superior and the Sawtooth
Mountains, Grand Marais
seems ho-hum. But dont let
its disheveled downtown de-
ceive. This is one of the best
bases for exploring the North
Shore. Stay in a hotel over-
looking the lake, stroll to a
gourmet dinner, shop at an art
gallery or a classic five-and-
dime, and explore the out-
doors. The town may not have
the charm of Lutsens clap-
board lodge or the flash of Na-
niboujou Lodges painted din-
ing room, but in the end it
wows as much as the sur-
rounding scenery.
The basics
Tucked against Lake Superi-
or, Grand Marais, population
1,351, was once a sleepy fish-
ing village. All thats changed,
in part because it occupies one
of the most scenic spots along
the Arrowhead. At the edge of
town, a windblown spit of land
juts out into the lake, helping
to form a big bay and a calm
harbor, so the town looks em-
braced by Superior.
Get tourist information at
www.grandmarais.com.
What to do
The Gunflint Trail, which
cuts inland to the Boundary
Waters Canoe Area and where
moose sometimes wander on-
to the road, begins its winding
way in Grand Marais, but you
dont really need to drive
along that road to feel lost
among the elements. Take a
walk along the bay beach to
Artists Point, the peninsula
that juts out into Superior. Its
the locals go-to hike.
If you want more miles, not
to mention views of the lake,
head just outside town to Pin-
cushion Mountain Trail Sys-
tem (www.pincushion
trails.org). Or pop onto the
Superior Hiking Trail
(www.shta .org) from entry
points near Grand Marais.
Perhaps youd rather hike
from store to store downtown.
The Sivertson Gallery
(www.sivertson.com) offers
warm tea to sip while brows-
ing its works from Inuit, Alas-
kan and regional artists. The
locally made jewelry is nice
eye candy, too.
Joynes Ben Franklin Depart-
ment Store can hook you up
with everything from Uggs
and Carhartts to Barbie dolls
and Norwegian sweaters (joy-
nesbenfranklin.com).
With its diminutive size and
purple shutters next to the
beach, Drury Lane Books
looks like a fairytale house
(www.drurylanebooks.com).
Thats appropriate given its
small but spellbinding collec-
tion of books.
Around the harbor bend
from downtown is the North
House Folk School, a collec-
tion of clapboard buildings
where artisans preserve
northern crafts by teaching
hands-on classes (www.north-
house.org). Subjects include
knitting, kayak-making and
surprises such as deer proc-
essing for carnivorous loca-
vores. Visitors are welcome
to explore the campus and
stop by the gift shop.
Hidden treasure
If you need gear, or inspira-
tion, check out Stone Harbor
Wilderness Supply
(www.stoneharborws.com)
on the bay. The hot spot for
outdoor sports opened in June
2010 and has been selling and
renting supplies and some un-
usual cool outdoor toys since.
In summer, there are kay-
aks, canoes and paddleboards.
But when snow flies, this
place becomes the cutting
edge of winter fun. You can
rent the usual cross-country
skis and snowshoes or rent (or
buy) Wintergreen clothing
(beyond warm and pricey to
own), Snowtrekker winter
tents and the wood-burning
stoves to keep them cozy, and
Marquette skis, a ski-snow-
shoe hybrid that lets you hike
up a snowy trail and ski down
the other side. Want some tips
for your first time? Snow Har-
bor offers guided outings.
The place also sells nordic
skates, which are specialized
blades that attach to cross-
country ski boots and are
made for gliding over the
bumps and cracks of frozen
rivers and lakes. Its your route
to explore the Boundary Wa-
ters by skate.
Where to eat
Judi Barsness not only
cooks exceptional meals at
her sophisticated harborside
restaurant, Chez Jude, she al-
so teaches others how to do
the same by offering cooking
classes (www.chezjude.com;
closed in November and
April). At Crooked Spoon
Cafe, inventive, delicious din-
ners include Lake Superior
fish with cucumber-corn rel-
ish (www.crooked spooncafe-
.com; closed after today until
Dec. 27). For live music and
chili with a micro-brew beer,
head to Gun Flint Tavern
(www.gunflinttavern.com).
Breakfasts are divine at the
Pie Place (www.northshore-
pieplace.com); dont miss the
maple sausage.
Where to sleep
Only in Grand Marais web-
site (www.grandmarais.com)
offers links to a variety of lodg-
ing options, from cabins to
B&Bs. Ive enjoyed East Bay
Suites, with luxury units that
have sleek kitchens, stone fire-
places and expansive views of
the lake just beyond the balco-
ny (www.eastbaysuites.com).
Getting there
Grand Marais is northeast of
Duluth, Minn., on Lake Supe-
rior, along Highway 61. The
drive from Minneapolis/ St.
Paul takes about 4 12/2 hours.

Using credit cards abroad to
balance the risk of carrying
cash is a popular strategy. It
isnt an issue-free solution
however, so having a few travel
tricks up your sleeve is a good
idea. Consider these spending
tips for international credit-
card use during your next vaca-
tion.
Location: If you havent used
an American credit card in Eu-
rope for a while, you may be
surprised at your mixed suc-
cess when it comes to shopping
and making incidental pur-
chases. Because of the chip re-
quirement there for credit
cards, travelers can have diffi-
culty using North American
credit cards at places like bus
stops or unat-
tended gas sta-
tions. Credit-
cards.coms di-
rector of market-
ing and research
Ben Woolsey rec-
ommends work-
ing around this
logistical chal-
lenge by supple-
menting your
travel expendi-
tures with the
prepaid chip and
pin cards availa-
ble from Trav-
elex. While you
can still use your
preferred credit
card at establish-
ments with
swipe machines, these cards
will help you with additional
hiccups you may experience in
the field.
Security: Prepaid credit
cards are helpful for more than
navigating the European chip
requirements, according to
Bombasticlife.coms Andrew J.
Satkowiak, a Canadian travel
writer living in Kuwait. After
having his credit-card number
stolen during an international
trip when he was in between
hotels, he decided to rethink
his credit-card travel strategy.
Now, he uses a prepaid credit
card with a smaller amount of
cash that he can replenish from
the road if necessary. Wise
Bread blogger and credit-card
travel expert Jason Steele on
the other hand, prefers carry-
ing multiple credit cards and
keeping them in different loca-
tions. For example, while
Steele carries one card on him,
his wife carries a
separate, addi-
tional card. They
have also been
known to leave a
third card se-
cured at the ho-
tel.
Perks: Re-
search benefits
available with
your current
credit card prior
to departure to
make sure you are
receiving the best
bang for your
buck. Discover
card holders, for
instance, are eli-
gible to earn
cash-back bonus-
es of between 5 and 20 percent
when shopping through the
companys online shopping
portal for products with travel
companies such as Royal Carib-
bean and Travelocity. Other
perks available through Dis-
cover include the redemption
of member points with part-
ners such as Princess Cruises,
assistance with the tracking of
lost luggage, and coordination
with international consulates
for visa paperwork.
