WILKES-BARREAddictedto
drugsandalcohol, the44-year-old
Hazleton woman said she knew
she hadtoget cleanor shedlikely
lose her childrenforever.
Luzerne County Children and
Youth Services had removed her
son and daughter, ages 15 and 7,
after neighbors found the young-
er childhome alone.
With the help of intensive ther-
apy programs, the woman, who
asked not to be identified to pro-
tect her childrens privacy, re-
gained custody within six
months.
In the beginning I was very re-
bellious. I felt like I dont have
time for this, she said.
Once we sobered up, we came
to realize they
were only there
to help us. If we
continued
down the
wrong path
they would
have taken the
kids.
Child welfare officials say the
womans case exemplifies a re-
newed commitment by agencies
statewide to provide intensive
services tokeepfamilies together
whenever possible.
But the agencies are equally
committedtoactingmore swiftly
to terminate parents rights if
they dont comply with the treat-
ment and services offered, offi-
cials say.
The result has been a signifi-
cant reduction in the number of
children in foster care in the state
and Luzerne County as of last
year.
Statewide the number of chil-
dren in foster care placement has
decreased by 30.3 percent since
2007, according to the state De-
partment of Public Welfare.
The reduction is even more
markedinLuzerneCounty, which
sawplacements drop from766 in
March 2009, to 421as of Septem-
ber 2011 a 45 percent decrease.

WILKES-BARRE Pomp and
fanfare heralded the formal in-
stallation of Dr. Patrick Leahy as
the sixth president of Wilkes
University.
From a procession of more
than 200 robed alumni, faculty
and institutional delegates ush-
ering Leahy into the F.M. Kirby
Center; to references to Noble
Truths of knowledge, aware-
ness and integrity extolled in
song by the university chorus; to
the draping of a gilded silver
chain of office around the new
presidents neck, Wilkes wel-
comed Leahy in grandiose style.
Flanked on stage by members
of the universitys board of trust-
ees, university leaders and four
of the five presidents that pre-
ceded him, Leahy, 44, outlined
his plan to make Wilkes one of
the top small universities not
just in this region, but in the na-
tion.
To thrive in the face of the
daunting challenges faced by
Wilkes andother colleges, Leahy
said Wilkes must focus on fea-
tures that set the school apart in
a competitive higher education
market.
Quoting Harvard business
professor Michael Porter, Leahy
said that the key to competitive
success for businesses and non-
profits alike lies in an organiza-

Thats the question facing Lu-

the state Department of Public
Welfare.
In its latest inspection report,
DPW commended Luzerne

But the report also raised
some concerns echoed by at-

should be removed from the

OBRIEN GETS FIRST
WIN AS PSU COACH
Bill OBrien waited just
inside the entrance to the
locker room. Every player
that walked past got a
handshake. Or a high five.
A few seniors even went
in for a hug.
Those same players then
surrounded him in the
middle of the room. After
nine months of little but
public relations work and
damage control since he
was hired, the Penn State
coach got to talk about a
win.
His first as a head coach.

CAIRO Al-Qaidas most ac-

called for more attacks on U.S.
embassies Saturday to set the
fires blazing, seeking to co-opt
outrage over an anti-Muslimfilm

wave of pro-
tests that swept
20 countries
this week
eased.
Senior Mus-

authorities is-
sued their
strongest pleas

anger over the
film a day after
new attacks on

eight protesters
dead.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. One
of the biggest stars in country
music brought one of the biggest
parties of the seasontothe Mohe-
gan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza on
Friday night.
Eric Church, hot ontheheels of
twoconsecutive No. 1singles and
recently nominated for five CMA
awards, made it clear from the
get-go that this was not going to
be a traditional country show.
He appeared in a puff of smoke
inhis customary baseball capand
shades, strumming an acoustic
guitar as flames danced around
the stage and his five-piece band
kicked into the concerts first
number, a super-charged version
of Country Music Jesus from
his top-selling album Chief.
Sure, one of the musicians on
stage played a banjo (and alter-
nated on mandolin and acoustic
guitar onother numbers), but the
vibe was much more rock than
country as Churchs music prob-
ably has more in common with
Southern rock bands like Lynyrd
Skynyrd than Hank Williams.
It was high energy, high deci-
bels andlots of pyrotechnics from
that point forward, andthe crowd
loved every minute of it.
Fridays show was the second
date of the secondleg of Churchs
first arena-headlining tour, so the
area country music fans in at-
tendance caught the singer-song-
writer at a very opportune time.
If he keeps progressing at his cur-
rent pace or if he picks up all
those industry-leading CMA
awards -- he wont be in arenas
much longer.
The two opening acts werent
too shabby either both had re-
cent No. 1 singles on the Bill-
board Country charts as the
early arrivals were treated to
strong sets from Kip Moore and
JustinMoore (the twosingers are
not related).
Kip Moore, originally fromTif-
ton, Ga., released his debut al-
bum "Up All Night" earlier this
year, and used his 30 minutes on
stage wisely. His current single
"Beer Money" was the highlight
of the earlygoing, while his chart-
topper "Somethin Bout aTruck"
proved to be a great way to close.
Justin Moore, originally from
Arkansas and active since 2007,
was up next, storming out of the
gate with "This is NRA Country"
and hitting his stride early with
Til My Last Day," which segued
into a nice cover of The Beatles
"With a Little Help From My
Friends."
Other Justin Moore highlights
included "If Heaven Wasnt So
Far Away," "Backwoods," and his
crowd-pleaser "Small Town
USA," which had nearly the en-
tire crowd singing along.
Churchtookthestageat just af-
ter 9:30, following up the opener
with one of his early hits "Guys
Like Me, which could serve as
the theme song for not only the
rowdy Church but for most in his
audience as well.
Guys like me drink too much
beer on Friday after work, he
sang, and the enthusiastic party-
goers knew exactly what he
meant.
Other early highlights includ-
ed Im Gettin Stoned and his
ode to his favorite beverage Jack
Daniels.
More songs about drinking
soon followed after all, the tour
is called "Blood, Sweat &Beers."
With his biggest hits such as
"Drink inMy Hand" andhis most
recent No. 1"Springsteen" still to
come, the party wasnt going to
come to an end any time soon.

ideas.
In the Egyptian capital Cairo,
where the first protests against
the movie that denigrates the
Prophet Muhammad erupted,
police finally succeeded in
clearing away protesters
who had been clashing
with security forces for
days near the U.S. Em-
bassy. Police arrested
220 people and a con-
crete wall was erected
across the road leading
to the embassy.
No significant pro-
tests were reported in
the Mideast Saturday;
the only report of vio-
lence linked to the film
came from Australia,
where riot police
clashed with about 200
protesters at the U.S.
Consulate in Sydney.
In his weekly radio
and Internet address,
President Barack Oba-
ma paid tribute to the
four Americans, includ-
ing Ambassador Chris
Stevens, who were
killed in an armed attack on the
U.S. Consulate in the eastern Li-
byan city of Benghazi this week.
He also denounced the anti-U.S.
mob protests that followed.
I have made it clear that the
United States has a profound re-
spect for people of all faiths. We
stand for religious freedom.
And we reject the denigration of
religion including Islam,
Obama said.
Yet there is never any justifi-
cation for violence. There is no
religion that condones the tar-
geting of innocent men and
women.
In Afghanistan, the Taliban
claimed responsibility for an at-
tack the night before by 20 in-
surgents on a sprawling British
based in southern Afghanistan
that killed two U.S. Marines.
The Taliban said the attack was
to avenge Muslims insulted by
the film. It also said the attack
came because Britains Prince
Harry is serving at the base,
though British officials said he
was far from the site of the at-
tack and was unharmed.
Fridays demonstrations
spread to more than 20 coun-
tries in the Middle East, Africa
and Southeast Asia.
While most were
peaceful, marches in
several places explod-
ed into violence.
In Sudan, crowds
torched part of the
German Embassy and
tried to storm the
American Embassy.
Protesters climbed
the walls into the U.S.
Embassy in Tunis,
torching cars in the
parking lot, trashing
the entrance building
and setting fire to a
gym and a neighbor-
ing American school.
Four demonstra-
tors were killed in Tu-
nisia, two in Sudan,
one in Lebanon and
one in Egypt the
first Egyptian protes-
ter to die in clashes
with police since Islamist Presi-
dent Mohammed Morsi took up
his post this summer. On Thurs-
day, four Yemeni protesters
were killed in protests that turn-
ed violent at the U.S. Embassy
in Sanaa.
The Yemen-based al-Qaida in
the Arabian Peninsula, consid-
ered the most dangerous of the
terror networks branches to the
U.S., called the killing of Ste-
vens the best example for
those attacking embassies to
follow.
What has happened is a
great event, and these efforts
should come together in one
goal, which is to expel the em-
bassies of America from the
lands of the Muslims, the
group said.

WYOMING More than 30
lovers of history reserved a spot
for the annual Battle of Wyom-
ing guided walking tour spon-
sored by the Luzerne County
Historical Society this weekend.
The two-hour tour has been
guided for the last 10 years by
local attorney and history buff
Steve Killian, a member of the
society.
"This is my second year on
the tour," said 16-year-old Jesse
Holzman of Jermyn. "The thing
that particularly interests me is
the local history involved with
this walk."
Holzman, a member of a Civil
War re-enactment group, said
hes a history lover and attends a
number of history-based func-
tions throughout the year to
augment his formal education at
Lakeland High School.
"My goal with the tour is to
explain what actually happened
during the Battle of Wyoming
and its aftermath in an accurate
fashion," said tour guide Steve
Killian. "This area is rich in his-
tory and this battle in particu-
lar."
Killian explained that the Bat-
tle of Wyoming occurred in 1778
along the banks of the Susque-
hanna River during the Ameri-
can Revolution and pitted patri-
ot forces against a group of Brit-
ish Loyalists and their Iroquois
allies. About 340 patriots were
killed in the battle and a number
of patriot survivors were ulti-
mately tortured and killed by
the Iroquois in the aftermath of
the battle.

JENKINS TWP.
Construction on turnpike
The Pennsylvania Turnpike advises
motorists that construction will begin
this month for the elimination of the
mainline bridge on the Northeastern
Extension (I-476) in Jenkins Township,
Luzerne County. The bridge is located
at milepost A113 approximately two
miles south of the Wyoming Valley
Interchange (Exit 115) and eight miles
north of the Wilkes-Barre Interchange
(Exit 105); it carries the Turnpike over
an abandoned access road.
Road-Con Inc. of West Chester, Pa.,
was awarded the $1.1million contract to
eliminate the bridge on July18. The
work to remove the existing deck and
superstructure will be done in three
stages to maintain Turnpike traffic at all
times.
Weather permitting, stage-one work
will begin the week of Sept. 24 with the
installation of temporary concrete bar-
rier establishing a safe work zone be-
tween milepost A112 and A114. Stage
one will include work to reconstruct the
shoulders and stabilize the embank-
ment near the bridge which will require
single-lane closures and reduced day-
time speeds of 55 or 40 mph.

Statewide, roughly two million
Pennsylvanians rely on private water
wells, DEPSecretary Mike Krancer
said. And according to the Center for
Rural Pennsylvania, about 40 percent of
private water wells have failed at least
one Safe Drinking Water Act water
quality standard, and about 20 percent
of private water wells showsome levels

WILKES-BARRE TWP. Arena sup-
porters like Kevin Blaum had enough
on their plates just getting the place
built without having to worry about
including a restaurant in the facility.
Foremost in their minds was mak-
ing sure there was an ice rink for a
hockey team and seats for fans. The
frills and amenities could be added
later.
We envisioned a restaurant needed
to be part of the arena in the future.
That was part of the dream, Blaum
said Thursday.
Thirteen years after the Mohegan
Sun Arena at Casey Plaza opened offi-
cials Wednesday announced plans for
a 20,000-square-foot addition to offer
dining options to people attending
events there.
Blaum, former chairman of the Lu-
zerne County Convention Center Au-
thority Board that oversees the arena,
was instrumental in getting the nearly
$39 million project built in 1999.
He recalled discussions with other
board members at local restaurants
and plans drawn on napkins.
Always the goal of the arena was to
proceed when you had the money,
Blaum said.
It has operated in the black and
prudently spent on improvements and
upkeep, he said.
It is so important that the arena
continue to be refurbished, he said.
Its been 13 years (since it opened).
Thats a lot of wear and tear.

NANTICOKE More than 100
joined the second Nanticoke City-Wide
Yard Sale this year on Saturday. The
event, which was started four years
ago, is becoming an increasingly pop-
ular event, according to city officials.
Betsy Cheshinski, city clerk for Nan-
ticoke and primary event organizer,
said Mayor Joe Dougherty and other
members of the city administration
give their full support of the event be-
cause it offers a great way to promote
the citys attributes.
It helps support city businesses, pro-
vides a way for residents to participate
in something for the city as well as
benefit by selling their treasures,
gives yard sale enthusiasts a chance to
go through numerous sales and is also
a chance for lo-
cal nonprofits
to conduct fun-
draisers, she
said. The local
Boy Scout
troop and vol-
unteer firefight-

ted, she added.
The city is
committed to
conducting the
yard sale at
least once each
year and even
twice like this
year, depend-
ing on how
well it is re-
ceived, she
said.
The first yard sale this year took
place in June, she said. Then the public
started contacting her about a fall

FORTY FORT One month ago an
old flagpole at the Forty Fort Cemetery
was covered by trees and had not been
used for an unknown number of years.
OnSaturdaythe Boardof Trustees of the
Forty Fort Cemetery Association, along
withstate Rep. Phyllis Mundy andmem-
bers of borough council and veterans
groups, gathered to rededicate the flag-
pole back into the service for which it
was intended, honoring borough veter-
ans.
Anewflag was raised on it in honor of
borough resident Spc. Dominick Ligou-
ri, who in May lost his battle with lung
disease caused by his time in the field in
Iraq, and Sgt. John Lynch, who was
killed in Vietnam in 1969.
Ligouris mother Andrea and Lynchs
brother Ned stood stoically accepting a
flag presented to them by Mundy.
We will always remember and never
take for granted the sacrifice of our mil-
itary personnel, Mundy said as she
handedthemthe flag. They salutedwith
dignity as it was raised to the playing of
taps.
Andy Tuzinski, from the cemetery
boardof trustees, saidheandhis wifeSu-
zie discovered the flagpole during a re-
cent cleanup. After reviewing old re-
cords andmaps theynoticedit was locat-

He said Kuharchik Construction do-
nated time and equipment to clear the
spot. And the VFW agreed to refurbish

op into a safety issue in the fu-
ture, said Frank Castano, execu-
tive director of Luzerne County
Children and Youth.
Its a fine line, Castano said.
The DPW report noted it
found instances in which safety
threats were identified by case-
workers that didnot meet thecri-
teria of a threat, which is de-
fined as a matter that is serious,
observable, out of control, vul-
nerableor imminent, or SOOVI,
for short.
Makinganappropriate SOOVI
determination is crucial because
it could lead to a child being re-
moved when such an action was
not required, saidRoseannPerry,
director of the Bureau of Chil-
dren and Family Services for
DPW.
Theres always that concern,
Perry said.
Castano stressed the inspec-
tors found no specific instance
where a Luzerne County child
was improperly removed. He ac-
knowledged there were instanc-
es where the safety plan put in
place may have been overly re-
strictive.
We found caseworkers often-
times were going beyond what
neededtobe, Castanosaid. We
needed to come back and rede-
fine what is safety and what is a
risk.
Attorneys Robert Davison and
Michael Pendolphi, who repre-
sent parents in Children and
Youthcases, saidtheyve seenin-
stances in which they believed
caseworkers went overboard.
But both attorneys said they
believe the child welfare system
is operating better than it has in
previousyears. Theycreditedthe
county and court system for tak-
ing efforts to guard against im-
properplacementsbyappointing
attorneys for parents much earli-
er in the dependency process.
Up until last year, a parent was
not provided an attorney until a
petition was filed to terminate
their rights. Nowthey get one as
soon as a child is placed in foster
care.
Before you had attorneys
there, you could have a rogue
caseworker trying to intimidate
(unrepresented) parents to sign
voluntary petitions. Now they
have a lawyer, Pendolphi said.
Davison and Pendolphi said
theybelievethats madehugedif-
ference in the outcome of cases
and is partly responsible for the
reduced number of foster care
placements.
Having an attorney represent
the parent forces the agency to
double check their facts. That
leads toalot of changes intheini-
tial outcome, Davison said.
SAFETY
Continued from Page 1A
Parents lose custody
Under the federal Adoption
and Safe Families Act, child wel-
fare agencies are required with
limited exceptions to seek to
terminate parents rights if the
child has been in foster care15 of
the previous 22 months.
Frank Castano, executive di-
rector of Luzerne County Chil-
dren and Youth, and Joanita Sal-
la, deputydirector, saidtheagen-
cy makes every effort to assist
parents, but it is equally deter-
minedtoterminatetheir rights if
they dont progress.
We are frontloading the sys-
temwithservices sothat parents
have every opportunity to suc-
ceed, Sallasaid. Bythetimewe
reach 15 months we are ready to
say this child can go home or
needs a different form of perma-
nency.
Luzerne Countys efforts were
lauded by DPWin its latest state
inspection report. The report,
which examined cases from De-
cember 2011 to January 2012,
credits the agency with imple-
menting several intensive pro-
grams that help families resolve
problems that led to the childs
placement.
It also commends the agency
for its increased placement of
children with family members
known as kinship care and its
success infinalizingadoptions of
foster youth.
That resulted in 391 children
who were in foster care finding
permanent homes in 2011, in-
cluding181childrenwhowerere-
unified with their parents and 39
who were discharged to the care
of a relative.
The agency alsoprocessedsig-
nificantly more adoptions in
2011, with 128 being finalized.
That compares to101in2010and
108 in 2009.
All these tings have come to-
gether at the same time and pro-
duced, in my opinion, dramatic
results, Salla said.
Initiative started in2008
Salla and Castano credited the
agencys success in reducing
placements toits participationin
an initiative launched in 2008 by
the National Governors Associ-
ation that seeks to reduce the
number of childreninfoster care.
Luzerne County was among 16
counties in Pennsylvania that
volunteered.
We had to put together a plan
of how we could safely reduce
placements, Castano said. It
was not just reducing place-
ments. We had to do it in a safe
manner. Thatwasthechallenge.
The agency responded by im-
plementing programs like Fam-
ily Group Decision Making.
Theprogrambringsother fam-
ilymembersorfriendsof thefam-
ily into the service plan. They
meet to discuss issues that led to
the childs placement and the
stepstheyneedtotakeasafamily
to address them.
Its an engagement of other
family members who come to-
gether to create a plan thats go-
ing to work for that family. They
take responsibility for each oth-
er, Salla said.
Salla saidthe programhas had
tremendous success.
When the family makes the
plantheyare more likelytoabide
by it and see it through to a good
conclusion, she said.
The agency also has empha-
sized placing children with fam-
ily members, as opposed to the
traditional foster care setup in-
volving strangers.
Thedataindicatesif youplace
a childwithfamily, youare going
tofindpermanency for that child
aheckof alot quicker thanif they
went into regular foster care,
Castano said.
Part of that success is attribut-
ed to the stability family mem-
bers provide a child. Under tradi-
tional foster care arrangements,
children are much more likely to
move among several different
foster homes, Salla said.
Wevefoundthat withkinship
care, they are not likely to move
at all, Salla said. Every time a
child moves there is emotional
trauma.
Success inHazleton
The Hazleton mother is one of
the success stories.
The agency tailored a service
plan for her with the help of her
parents, who took custody of her
daughter while she was in treat-
ment. Her son stayed with his bi-
ological father.
After gettingpast the initial re-
sistance, the woman said she
took part in numerous services
offered, including drug and alco-
hol counseling and parenting
classes.
I was in everything possible,
she said. Its very time consum-
ing, but yougottadoit if youwant

Strategies to encourage devel-
opment of the Mid-Atlantics
wind market was one of the top-
ics taken up at environmental ad-
vocacy group PennFutures 2012
Clean Energy Con-
ference, a gather-
ing of renewable
energy executives
and experts aim-
ing to create a re-
gional energy hub
of clean energy
manufacturers, in-
stallers and policy
makers in Pennsyl-
vania and neighboring states.
While they expressed confi-
dence that renewable energy de-
velopment will continue, indus-
try experts at the conference said
numerous obstacles hamper
growth of the wind farmindustry
in Pennsylvania and surrounding
states; obstacles that prevent the
region following in Europes foot-
steps.
Some of those challenges lie in
the expiration of government in-
centive programs helping to fund
the enormous construction
costs. Lee Davis, northeast re-
gional president of independent
energy producer NRG Energy,
said his company had been devel-
oping a wind farm project off the
Delmarva Peninsula since late
2008. It hoped to fund construc-
tion of the project through a loan
from the U.S. Department of En-
ergy that was made available as
part of the 2009 federal economic
stimulus, but lost its loan guaran-
tee when the department was un-
able to finish its review of the
project by the programs expira-
tion in Sept. of 2011. Further at-
tempts to fund the project pri-
vately failed.
Part of whats holding the wind
industry back could stem in part
from Pennsylvanias current nat-
ural gas boom, Davis also said.
Spurred by a glut in supply
from domestic shale formations
like the Marcellus Shale that un-
derlies much of Pennsylvania,
natural gas prices dropped dra-
matically in 2012. That has not
only been bad for the bottom
lines of gas production compa-
nies, but also for renewable ener-
gy sectors, because the price of
energy in the Northeast is tied to
the price of natural gas, Davis
said.
Its economic challenges, not
the EPAor any state agencys reg-
ulations (that are holding the
wind industry back), Davis said.
With the price of gas being so
low, driving the power down as
low as it is, youre not even see-
ing prices that allow gas (power
plants) to get built, added Mike
Speerschneider of EverPower
Wind Holdings.
Eric Thumma, director of pol-
icy and regulatory affairs for
wind generation and renewable
energy company Iberdola Re-
newables and former energy di-
rector for the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Environmental Pro-
tection, said the state could do
more to help the wind industry
prosper in Pennsylvania by ad-
justing its renewable portfolio
standard rules for utility compa-
nies.
Legislation signed by former
Gov. Ed Rendell in 2004 required
that a percentage of the power
utilities supply come from alter-
native energy sources including
wind, biomass and hydroelectric,
escalating by percentage annual-
ly until reaching a mandatory
minimum of 8 percent in 2020.
But Pennsylvania is also an ener-
gy choice state, meaning energy
customers can choose where the
energy they buy comes from.
That combinationcanprevent re-
newable producers from gaining
the long-term capital commit-
ments they need to build new in-
frastructure like wind farms,
Thumma said.
You dont know how much re-
newable energy you will need in
the next year (to meet the renew-
able portfolio standard) because
you dont know how many cus-
tomers youre going to have,
Thumma said. Updating the
portfolio program to tie the pur-
chase of Renewable Energy Cer-
tificates by utilities, which help
renewable energy companies
fund new power plant construc-
tion, to the distribution, rather
than generation budget of the
utility could help stabilize elec-
tricity prices by encouraging util-
ities to sign multi-year contracts
with renewable suppliers, giving
them the stability and commit-
ment they need to grow,
Thramm said.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
2 NATO soldiers killed
A
n Afghan local policeman killed
two soldiers with the NATO mil-
itary coalition in southern Afghanistan
on Saturday, the latest in a surge of
insider attacks that are fracturing trust
between Afghan forces and their in-
ternational partners.
The shooting came a day after in-
surgents in the same region stormed a
sprawling British base, killing two U.S.
Marines and wounding several other
international troops in an attack in-
spired by an anti-Islam film produced
in the United States and the presence
on the compound of a high-profile
target, Britains Prince Harry.
NATO would not say exactly where
the latest insider attack occurred or if
the gunman was a bonafide Afghan
policeman or an insurgent who infil-
trated the force.

Feds investigate Ford cars
Government safety regulators are
investigating Fords Crown Victoria
police cars due to complaints about
defective steering columns.
The probe affects about 195,000 cars
from the 2005 through 2008 model
years.
The government has received three
complaints that part of the steering
column can separate and cause loss of
steering control. No crashes or injuries
were reported, the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration said in
documents posted Saturday on its
website.
Investigators will determine if the
cars have a safety defect and whether a
recall is needed. So far the vehicles
havent been recalled.
Ford spokeswoman Susan Krusel
said that the company is aware of the
investigation and is cooperating. The
problem only affects police versions of
the Crown Victoria, she said.
MOSCOW
Thousands protest Putin
The first major protest against Presi-
dent Vladimir Putin after a summer lull
drew tens of thousands of people, de-
termined to show that opposition senti-
ment remains strong despite Kremlin
efforts to muzzle dissent.
The street protests broke out after a
December parliamentary election won
by Putins party through what observ-
ers said was widespread fraud, and
they grew in strength ahead of Putins
effectively unopposed election in
March to a third presidential term.
Huge rallies of more than 100,000
people even in bitter winter cold gave
many protesters hope for democratic
change. These hopes have waned, but
opposition supporters appear ready to
dig in for a long fight.

Doctor trying to clear name
Jeffrey MacDonald, a clean-cut
Green Beret and doctor convicted of
killing his pregnant wife and their two
daughters, is getting another chance at
trying to prove his innocence more
than four decades after the slayings
terrified a nation gripped by his tales of
Charles Manson-like hippies doped up
on acid slaughtering his family in their
own home.
The case now hinges on something
that wasnt available when he was first
put on trial: DNA evidence. A federal
judge will convene a hearing on Mon-
day to consider new DNA evidence and
witness testimony that MacDonald and
his supporters say will finally clear him
of a crime that became the basis of Joe
McGinniss best-selling book Fatal
Vision and a made-for-TV drama.

CHICAGO Thousands of striking
Chicago public school teachers packed
a city parkSaturday ina showof force as
union leaders and the district tried to
work out the details of a tentative agree-
ment that would end a week-long walk-
out.
Months of contract negotiations
came downtotwomainissues: jobsecu-
rity and union opposition to a new
teacher evaluation process it felt was
too heavily weighted on student test
scores. The wrangling in one of the na-
tions largest school districts was being
closely watched around the country be-
cause of its implications for other labor
disputes at a time when unions have
been losing ground.
Union leaders who announced a
framework for a deal onFriday saidthey
would not end the strike the first in
Chicago in 25 years until they see an
agreement in writing. Saturdays talks
were aimed at settling on that exact lan-
guage, and both sides were hopeful that
children could be back in class on Mon-
day.
Addressing demonstrators Saturday,
the Rev. Jesse Jackson said the strug-
gle is not over andthere was still a long
road to ensuring all residents of the city
have equal access to quality schools, es-
pecially inneighborhoods beset by gang
violence and poverty.
Our mission is very clear: we fight
for equal, high-quality public education
for all, Jackson said. When school
opens again there will be 160 schools
without a public library. ... When school
opens again, there will be schools yet
without books. So we fight today for
schools on the South and West Side to
look like schools on the North Side.
Saturdays talks were taking place at
the offices of union attorney Robert
Bloch, who told the Chicago Sun-Times
there was still a lot of work to be done,
although the sides had agreed on the
most contentious issues.
The union hopes to present the word-
ingof adeal toits Houseof Delegates for
review on Sunday. If they approve it,
students could be back in class on Mon-
day.
On his way into the talks, Chicago
Teachers Union Vice President Jesse
Sharkey was optimistic that timetable
was still possible.
Were hopeful that we can do it but
frankly like I said, the devil is in the de-
tails of this contract and we want it in
writing, he told the Sun-Times. Were
going to go in today and hammer (out)
the details.
Until teachers see the exact wording,
theyll continue to strike.

STATE COLLEGE Hun-
dreds of Penn State alumni and
fans called for the universitys
president and board of trustees
to step down Saturday at a rally
decrying the school officials ac-
tions following the child sex
abuse scandal that engulfed the
campus nearly a year ago.
Former Penn State and Steel-
ers fullback Franco Harris criti-
cized board chairwoman Karen
Peetzs use of Penn States We
Are ... cheer in her address to
the board Friday. Harris told the
crowd it rang hollow.
She usedit like100times, but
it felt like there was no feeling,
he said. Its a phrase that binds
us all together.
Speakers criticized the ac-
tions of the trustees and Presi-
dent Rodney Erickson in re-
sponsetoacritical university-au-
thorized investigation led by for-
mer FBI Louis Freeh and tough
sanctions imposed by the NCAA
over the handling of child sex
abusecomplaints against former
assistant coach Jerry Sandusky,
who was convicted in June of 45
child sexual abuse counts.
A cardboard cutout of former
coach Joe Paterno stood in front
of OldMainnext tothespeakers,
and many of those attending
wore shirts or carriedsigns com-
memoratinghim. Harris saidthe
Penn State community cannot
allow the board and administra-
tion to erase the coach, who
was firedNov. 9 anddiedof com-
plications from lung cancer in
January.
Trustee Anthony Lubrano,
wearing rolled-up khakis in the
style of Paterno to honor the for-
mer coach, said he met with Pa-
terno less than two weeks before
his death. The 85-year-old coach
hadjust come froma chemother-
apy treatment, but his thoughts
were only about Penn State,
whichhe saidhe wantedtoleave
a better place than it had been
when he first came, Lubrano
said.
This is a man who would be
dead in12 days, and his greatest
concern was our school, Lubra-
no said.
Lubrano called for legislative
restructuring of the board, and
criticized Gov. Tom Corbett,
who has a seat on the board.
Hospitality management pro-
fessor John ODonnell said a
number of his students had con-
tacted himover the summer, an-
guishing over how to talk about
the Sandusky case with people
outside of the Penn State com-
munity.

BEIRUT Pope Benedict XVI told
Syrians at a rally for young people Satur-
day that he admired their courage and
that he does not forget those in the Mid-
dle East who are suffering.
On a day of appeals for religious free-
domin the region, he said it was time for
Muslims and Christians to work together
against violence andwar. He spoke onthe
seconddayof his visit toLebanon, acoun-
try with the largest percentage of Chris-
tians in the Middle East. He arrived amid
a wave of violent demonstrations over an
anti-Islam film across the Muslim world.
Addressing the rally, Benedict said he
understood that there were young people
present from Syria in the crowd of some
20,000 people.
I want to say howmuch I admire your
courage, the pope said, speakingFrench.
Tell your families andfriends backhome
that the pope has not forgotten you.
Traveling to Lebanon on Friday, Bene-
dict calledfor a halt inweapons deliveries
to Syria, but he did not drawa distinction
between the government and rebel sides.
Lebanon has given refuge to nearly
70,000 of a quarter-million Syrians who
have fled their countrys increasingly
bloody civil war.
The turmoil stemming from the Arab
Spring has deeply unsettled the Middle
Easts Christian population, which fears
being caught between rival Muslim
groups. Part of the popes mission in Le-
banonis convincing his flock to remainin
the regiondespite war, sectarianviolence
and hardship.
It is time for Muslims and Christians
to come together so as to put an end to
violence and war, he said.
Earlier Saturday, he appealed for reli-
gious freedom, calling it central to stabil-
ity in a region bloodied by sectarian
strife.
Let us not forget that religious free-
dom is a fundamental right from which
many other rights stem, he said, speak-
ing in French to government officials, for-
eign diplomats and religious leaders at
the presidential palace in Mount Leba-
non in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
He held up Lebanon, which is still re-
building from a devastating 1975-1990
civil war largely fought onsectarianlines,
as an example of coexistence for the re-
gion.
He said Christians and Muslims in Le-
banonshare the same space at times in
the same family and asked, If it is pos-
sible in families why not in entire socie-
ties? Marriages where husband and wife
arefromdifferent religious groups arenot
uncommon in Lebanon.
He said the freedom to practice ones
religion without danger to life and liber-
ty must be possible to everyone.

PITTSBURGH A new fee on gas
drilling has generated millions of dollars
more in revenue than first projected, but
other major gas-producing states tax the
industry at higher rates, according to an
Associated Press analysis.
And the state still wont be setting
aside a share to track possible health im-
pacts of drilling.
The state said this week that it has col-
lected almost $202 million of the roughly
$206 million in impact fees thats due
from gas drilling companies. Projections
this spring had been for about $180 mil-
lion. A few drillers are disputing their
bills.
Other states considered to be friendly
tothe oil andgas industrylevyhigher tax-
es on natural gas.
Texas imposes a 7.5 percent tax on the
market value of gas produced, and West
Virginia and Wyoming are at about 6 per-
cent. Those states base taxes on actual
production. Pennsylvanias fee is mostly
based on number of wells, and the 2011
revenue works out to about a 5 percent
rate.
Pennsylvanias 2011 production would
have generated about $300 million at
Texas rate, and$240millionat the rate in
Wyoming and West Virginia, the AP
found.
The disparity could rise in the near fu-
ture, since production is still soaring in
Pennsylvania, but producers wont pay
based on that. For example, at this years
output drillers shouldsell between$6 bil-
lion and $7 billion in gas enough to
generate $360 million to $525 million of
taxes in the other states.
According to an analysis from Repub-
lican state Sen. Gene Yaw, Pennsylvanias
revenues for 2012 are expected to rise by
about $30 million. If that projection is ac-
curate, next years total here will be about
$235 million.
The legislation that created the impact
fee also originally gave Pennsylvania
health officials a share of the revenue, but
representatives from Republican Gov.
TomCorbetts office and the state Senate
cut that to zero during final negotiations.
The department still has some other
funds to use, but not enough to create a
registry of public health impacts, which
had been a top priority.
Any amendment to the lawwill have to
be voted on again by the full legislature,
said Patrick Henderson, the states ener-
gy executive. He wouldnt speculate on
whether Corbett will ask for the health
department funding to be restored.
Its also not clear whether Secretary of
Health Dr. Eli Avila will continue to seek
a share of the funds. Health department
spokeswoman Christine Cronkright did
not respond to that question.

ments including the expansion

They justified the project as a
necessary amenity to attract
people to concerts, shows and
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins hockey games and to cap-
ture some of the money spent at
bars and restaurants outside the
arena.
Blaum doesnt see an arena
restaurant taking away business
from other places. After all, the
arena played a big part in draw-
ing local and national franchise
restaurants and big box stores
to the area.
I think it will complement all
of the stores up there, he said.
It will get people up in that
area to shop and buy and do
other things.
Projects such as arenas are
looked at as economic genera-
tors, added Linda Deckard, pub-
lisher and editor-in-chief of Ven-
ues Today magazine.
Deckard, who is familiar with
the local arena, said more and
more arenas have districts
around them where people can
eat, drink and shop.
It doesnt really cost any-
body else business, she said.
Large or small, venues in-
clude sit-down restaurants as
amenities to attract people who
might otherwise stay at home
and watch games on their high-
definition flat screen TVs while
eating and drinking. Another
advantage is that once at the
arena or stadium, ticket holders
can stay afterwards and not
have to worry about driving to a
bar or restaurant.
They are looking for every
avenue that makes the fan expe-
rience better, Deckard said.
Fans have responded with
their wallets.
According to the National
Restaurant Associations 2012
Restaurant Industry Forecast,
the recreation and sports center
segment is projected to have
$5.8 billion in sales, a 4.7 per-
cent increase from 2011. The in-
dustry overall is expected to
show $632 billion in sales, an
increase of 3.5 percent from last
year.
Annika Stensson, a spokes-
man for the restaurant associ-
ation, said many venues con-
tract with outside companies
for food service, but can also
allow for branded ownership.
In the case of the Mohegan
Sun Arena at Casey Plaza, Deck-
ard said a restaurant likely
would have a local connection.
Its going to be something that
screams Wilkes-Barre, she said.

The sale started at 9 a.m.
centered in Patriot Park.
There shoppers were able to
get copies of a list of the ad-
dresses of participating
homes and organizations as
well as a detailed map of the
city shoppers could use to get
around and find the locations.
The map was provided by the
city, she added. More than
200 maps were given out by 11
a.m.
The Rev. Sylvia Thomas
from the Berean Lighthouse
Church, where shoppers were
able to look over some deals
on clothing and knickknacks,
said she thought the sale was
a great way to be part of the
city.
This gives us all a boost,
Thomas said.
She added the sale allowed
people an opportunity to social-
ize, getting to know their neigh-
bors a little better.
Mike Nestorick, who worked
at the local Boy Scout troop
booth located in Patriot Park,
said the sale is a great day for
Nanticoke.
There are a lot of great peo-
ple who come to patronize us,
he said. Plus its a good time to
show the Boy Scouts responsib-
ility and to get their parents in-
volved, he said.
Cheshinski said she received a
lot of positive feedback from
businesses who benefited from
the increased customer traffic.
She also said she saw a lot of
new young families walking
through the sale. For the day
they got to see the benefits of an
old-fashioned community, she
said.

We were very satisfied with
the amount of support we re-

and manpower contributions
cannot be overstated and are
greatly appreciated.
He added the association
wanted to start using the flag-

the veterans buried there, who
served from the Revolutionary
War to present day.
Unable to honor them all indi-
vidually, Tuzinski said the associ-

Ligouri and Lynch families to of-
fer Saturdays tribute.
About 30 friends and family
members of both fallen veterans
attended along with current and
past borough officials and veter-

Prior to the flood of 1972 the

N E W S
tions ability to create unique val-
ue to be unique, not best.
Its focus on individual student
mentoring, mix of diverse course
offerings and small class sizes,
unique location at the intersec-
tion of downtown Wilkes-Barre
and the Susquehanna River and a
culture of innovation all set
Wilkes apart, Leahy said, and the
university must emphasize those
aspects as it positions itself in the
future.
Leahys installation comes at
pivotal moment for Wilkes and
for other universities in the
Northeast andaroundthe nation.
The cost of a college education
has ballooned by over 400 per-
cent in the past two decades
while recession has shriveled fi-
nancial aid budgets and made
students justifiably wary of stu-
dent-loan debt. Shifting demo-
graphics have intensified compe-
tition for standout high school
graduates in the college-dense
Northeast, while technological
advancements and a changing
workforce have challenged
schools to alter their traditional
course models.
State Sen. John Yudichak, D-
Plymouth Twp., said in welcom-
ing Leahy on behalf of the state
that the university and the com-
munity surrounding it are at a
crossroads.
Standing at that crossroads of
these university and community
challenges, is Patrick Leahy,
Yudichak said.
In his installation address, Lea-
hy acknowledged and enumerat-
ed each of these challenges. He
named the questions of how to
level tuition, adapt to shifts in
market demographics and capi-
talize on the social transforma-
tions of technology as the three
great challenges confronting
Wilkes and other colleges.
Gone are the days when col-
leges and universities can just
continually raise tuition, he said
bluntly. Well have to rethink
how we fund our institutions in
the future.
But Leahy also noted that
Wilkes has risen above challeng-
es throughout its history from
initial struggles during the Great
Depression and subsequent war
that siphoned its students off to
military service, through the col-
lapse of the local coal industry in
the 1960s, to the floods that bur-
ied its campus under nine feet of
water and muck in 1972 and
threatened again last summer.
There were plenty of times
when this institution could have
maybe you could argue, should
have folded, Leahy said. But
at each turn members of this
community; faculty, staff, stu-
dents, alumni, members of the
Wilkes-Barre community, re-
sponded. They decided that this
institution is too important to
this city and to this region to
the thousands of students whose
lives have been changed because
of it; they decided that Wilkes
University mattered.
In welcoming the new presi-
dent, alumni, faculty, staff, trust-
ees and state and civic leaders ex-
pressedsupport inLeahys ability
to lead the university forward.
Leahy came to Wilkes Univer-
sity from The University of
Scranton, where he worked since
2004 as executive assistant to the
president and later as vice presi-
dent for university relations.
Trustee Virginia Sikes, chair-
woman of the search committee
that hired Leahy, said the board
was impressed not only with Lea-
hys record in Scranton where
he capped a $125 million capital
campaign two years ahead of
schedule and helped raise both
applications and freshman class
enrollment by double-digit mar-
gins but also by the comments
of his former coworkers.
(He is) a big picture guy whos
all over the numbers, Sikes said.
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Thomas
Leighton expressed confidence
that the positive relationship be-
tween the city and the university
would continue under Leahys
leadership.
He knows that for Wilkes Uni-
versity to prosper, Wilkes-Barre
must prosper, and that Wilkes-
Barre will now grow without
Wilkes as a cornerstone, Leight-
on said.
Prior to his time at The Univer-
sityof Scranton, Leahy, originally
of Maryland, worked in private
industry. He co-founded Busi-
ness Affairs Forum, an Ithaca,
N.Y.-based distance learning
community and worked for Al-
lied Capital Corporation, Deluxe
Corp. and Georgetown Universi-
ty. He holds a doctorate in higher
education strategy and manage-
ment from the University of
Pennsylvania, a masters in busi-
ness administration fromCornell
University and a bachelors in En-
glish literature fromGeorgetown
University.
Leahy lives in Bear Creek Vil-

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2012
T
he English language, scholars
say, acquired its one-millionth
word earlier this year, stretching
its lead over the worlds second-biggest
language (and I dont remember what
that is) by about 500,000 words.
So wouldnt you think thered be a
right-on-the-money word for just about
everything our Anglo-American pop-
ulace would want to describe?
Sadly, there isnt. Or, at least I
havent come across a term to cover
this phenomenon: a commonly used
word or expression thats based on an
action or product that fewer and fewer
living people know anything about. But
we go on using the antique word any-
way.
OK, since that doesnt explain much,
lets get right to my Top 10 Words That
Have Stood the Test of Time though
perhaps not the test of logic.
One: A cheery going up you speak
as you begin a climb of some kind.
Years ago, operating an elevator was
serious business. So stores and public
buildings employed uniformed men to
drive the elevators from floor to floor.
So you didnt step into the wrong eleva-
tor, the attendant would call going up
or going down as youd enter his
domain.
Two: Broken record, as in The
senators endless warnings sounded
like a broken record. In the days when
music was played on grooved discs via
a needle, a slight hitch in the groove
would cause the stylus to jump and
repeat the same snatch of melody over
and over.
Three: Dial, as in Tune to 79.1 on
your dial for the best in music (even
though your radio has a digital display
and a remote). You also hear Dial
555-1212 for customer service, prob-
ably because punch in has never
made it. A limited percentage tele-
phone-based computer access is still
called dial-up.
Four: Fire sale, as in The cash-
strapped team held a fire sale of its
overpaid stars. A century or so ago a
store that had been burned out would
put its remaining goods on fire sale at
low prices to clear them out and re-
build. Health authorities would frown
on such a practice today.
Five: Through the wringer, as in
Angered by the loss, the coach put his
team through the wringer at practice.
Before fully automatic washers and
dryers were invented, youd wring out
clothes that had just been washed by
running them between two rollers via a
crank. Then youd hang them on a
clothesline to dry.
Six: Bargain basement, as in That
store has bargain-basement prices. Big
department stores of the past were
multi-story, and the basement would be
reserved for special lower-priced lines
of goods.
Seven: OK, this isnt a word, but a
gesture. Lets say you want your buddy,
whos just gotten into his car, to lower
the window so you can tell him his
tailpipes dragging. You make a motion
with your hand as if turning a crank to
roll down the window of a 1950 Hud-
son. The gesture doesnt make sense
today, but we do it all the time.
Eight: Cream, meaning something
at the very top quality-wise. A glass
bottle of homogenized milk had a cou-
ple of inches of delicious cream at the
top, which you could skim off to use for
baking.
Nine: Dog days, or hot and un-
pleasant times. Back when people
watched the skies they found Sirius,
the dog star, high in the sky during
the humid, sultry time of the year.
Ah, yes, you muse. Youve noticed
thats just nine items. But they give me
only so many lines on this page.
Is there a word for that?

EW YORK Forget about
delicate flowers andpastels
theres no room for
shrinking violets in the spring de-
signs previewed over eight days at
New York Fashion Week.
Saturated color was all over the
runway, withboldstripes at Marc Ja-
cobs and Michael Kors, edgy pat-
terns everywhere and hardly a pret-
ty floral in the bunch. Cutouts and
corsets were frequent sights, along
with leather perforated, laser-cut
and colorful longer hemlines and
skirt suits. Clothescameinmanylay-
ers of fabric and
textures, with
plenty of
black and
white along
with bold color.

AP PHOTOS
One of the Oscar de la Rentas most remarkable looks was a two-piece dress made of ivory silk faille and with a
feminine peplum around the hips that also featured a top layer of a latex flower appliques that could have been the
icing on the most delicious cake.
Mark Badgley and James Mischka are known for their eveningwear, loved by
celebrities and socialites. And there was plenty of that, for example a filmy
celadon-colored tulle and organza gown, and another tulle-and-organza cre-
ation in a brilliant coral the show-closing gown.
Marc Jacobs threw a hipster picnic with
a mashup of neon checks, plaids and
stripes large, small, wide, narrow
loaded into outfits.
Punk met the medieval princess at Ro-
darte, where design-duo sisters Laura and
Kate Mulleavy said they were inspired by
medieval and role-playing games.
Indian-born Khan,
who famously
designed Michelle
Obamas first
state-dinner dress,
a shimmery gold-
and-silver creation,
remained true to
his glamorous
roots, presenting a
number of red-
carpet-ready
gowns.
Betsey Johnson threwherself a crazy 70th birth-
day party with Cyndi Lauper belting Girls Just
Wanna Have Fun and confetti-slinging models.
B
ruce Phair is the manager and technical director at the Do-
rothy Dickson Darte Center at Wilkes University. Phair, 61,
graduated fromNutley High School in NewJersey and received a
degree in music performance from Wilkes University. He lives in
Nanticoke with his wife Karen. They have a daughter Kyra.
You originally started out in sales
after graduating fromcollege. I went
to New York City and worked in that
field for four years before deciding to
come back to Wilkes University. I took
some more classes in business. I en-
joyedmy four years at Wilkes previous-
ly, so coming back was an easy deci-
sion.
Howdidyour futurepathgoinadif-
ferent direction during your second
stint at Wilkes? I really enjoyed act-
inginplays inthe70s at Wilkes. I decid-
ed to continue taking part in the pro-
ductions upon returning. I was always
kind of shy and acting was a great way
to hide behind a characters face. Peo-
ple seemed to enjoy my performances
so I continued to be a part of the thea-
ter. Eventually, I was introducedtoback
stagework andthat catapultedmeinto
the position of technical director for
the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center in
1980. I remained in that role for the
next seven years. I became the facility
manager in 1987.
What is it that keeps you excited
about the job? When I first attended
Wilkes as astudent I was oneof thenew
and fresh faces coming through the
doors. Today I see high school gradu-
ates coming in and they are the new
freshfaces of the university. AlthoughI
am still the manager and technical di-
rector, I feel I am more of a teacher
these days. That gives me the greatest
joy.
You also mentioned that there was
a key figure in your hiring. Who was
that? Al Groh, who many see as the
greatest catalyst for the rise of the
Darte center, was instrumental in my
hiring. I felt he saw something in me

that would be a good fit for
the school. Al was instrumen-
tal in the center coming into
existence and he directed
many plays as well as teach-
ing classes at the university.
Outside of the school were
there any other role models
in your life? I would have to
say my father for one.
He taught me an ap-
preciation for nature,
carpentry and elec-
tricity to name a few
things. We really uti-
lized our time togeth-
er. My wife is another
energizing force in
my life. She has been
my best friend and
supporter in life.
There are so many in-
dividuals that helped
me. They say what we
reap in life is sown by others.
What was your favorite
rolethat youever tookon?I
wouldactuallyhavetosaythe
role of dad. My daughter Kyra
is actually in my stage craft
class.
What is something you re-
ally enjoy when it comes to
entertainment? I love cast
recordings of Broadway musi-
cals. I would love to go back to
NewYork and see some musi-
cals live.
What isyour motto?Lead
by example.
Where do you like to visit
in your spare time? My wife
and I like to hop in the car and
try to see places that we have
not seen. Our favorite place
we visited was Cape May, New
Jersey. It has been our sum-
mer vacation the past 15
years.
Where do you like to hang
out inNortheast Pennsylva-
nia? I enjoy my own back-
yard. I really enjoy the cooler
weather and splitting fire-
wood in the fresh air
as well as garden-
ing.
What do you think
the area needs to
improve upon
most? I would like
to see a greater
awareness of what
the area has to offer
to people who are
not familiar with it. I
would like people to
have that feeling I
have about the cul-
ture, mountains andriver that
drew me back.
What is one of your proud-
est moments inlife?I would
have to say when my wife and
I helped clean carpets and
scrub the theater building af-
ter the flood of 1972. That was
a life-changing time and it al-
so brought me and my wife
closer together before we
eventually married.

ticoke Area School district and a five-year breast cancer survivor,
participated in her third race. Womelsdorf and Kelly are secretaries in
the school district. The trio was part of the team from the Ice House

Rich LaRussa, F&I
manager for Fairway
Chevrolet in Hazle
Township, has
incorporated a unique
program to help credit
challenged people
purchase a new or
pre-owned vehicle.
LaRussa said, This
program is working
great! Weve helped so
many people. Many
customers are under
the impression that
they owe too much on
their current vehicle
loan or that past credit
issues would hinder
them from getting into
a new vehicle. Ninety
percent of the time
customers are paying
interest rates higher
than whats available
today. Fairways unique
system specically
targets distressed
credit customers. That
is, no minimum credit
score is required.
A minimum gross
income of $1,500 and
only $1,000 down is
necessary. This can
be accomplished with
cash or ACV transfer
or both. Rich LaRussa
said, Were helping
hundreds of folks
with poor credit get
into the car of their
dreams and with our
new system we are
condent we can help
even more. Most
customers are in loans
that are 14% APR
to 15% APR or even
higher in some cases.
With todays current
rates we can possibly
shave $20, $30, even
$40 off a customers
payment. Were
especially excited
about helping those
customers that have
had credit issues.
Explained, La Russa.
Weve partnered
with several lending
providers. However,
funding is limited
for these nancial
situations. Therefore,
LaRussa points out
that funding will be
distributed to qualied
customers on a rst
come, rst serve
basis. LaRussa goes
on to explain that if
someone has had bad
credit and is paying
18% APR to 21%APR,
we may be able to cut
those rates down to
as low as 4.9% APR.
I would encourage
anyone paying these
kind of rates to come
in and talk to me as
soon as possible. They
could be saving a lot of
money.
Hazle Township:
Jim Corazza, dealer
principal for Fairway
Chevrolet in Hazle
Township, announced
today that he would
forfeit the prot
from the current GM
September program
and pass it onto his
customers. A sales goal
has been established
by GM for the sale
of new 2012 and 2013
Chevy Malibu and
Cruzes. If the goal is
met, Fairway receives
additional prot from
GM. In celebration
of Fairways grand
reopening and in
appreciation to
Fairways many loyal
customers, Corazza
said,Im going to
pass these prots
onto our customers.
Keith Laylo, Fairway
Chevrolets sales
manager explained
how this program
works. A typical
2012 Chevy Cruze
automatic has an
MSRP of $18,590. When
factoring in all of the
current discounts and
rebates from Chevrolet
plus the additional
prot, Fairway is
willing to forfeit,
our customers would
end up paying $16,616
plus tax and tags for a
brand new 2012 Chevy
Cruze. Laylo went
on to explain that a
2013 Chevy Malibu
having an MSRP of
$23,150 would end up
being available for
$20,999 plus tax and
tags. (Reference Chevy
Cruze stk. #26363,
Chevy Malibu stk.
#26441).
Laylo went on to say
that 2012 and 2013
Chevy Silverados
would also receive
bonus money if our
quota is met under
the guidelines of the
September program.
An example of savings
on a 2012 Chevy
Silverado LT ext. cab
1500 with an All Star
Package and having
an MSRP of $39,150,
would amount to a
savings of $11,000 plus
tax and tags (reference
stk.#25915) Laylo
said, this is a great
opportunity for our
customers to cash in
on some big savings in
September.

DALLAS Chris Haupt took a
few extra minutes after Widener
broke its postgame huddle to talk
with family and friends.
The quarterback did most of
his talking, though, on the gridi-
ron spoiling Misericordia foot-
balls home debut in front of an
overflow crowd of 2,200 at Man-
gelsdorf Field.
The Central Columbia gradu-
ate completed 27 of his 41 passes
for 432 yards and five touch-
downs as the nationally-ranked
Pride jumped out to a quick lead
and cruised past the Cougars,
67-0.
It might have been the home
opener for the newly-formed Mi-
sericordia program, but it was
Haupt that loved the comforts of
being close to his hometown of
Bloomsburg.
Cominghome, its a bigger fan
base. You love to play in front of
people in your hometown, he
said. Any time you can score
some points, its great. Our offen-
sive coordinator has put us in a
great spot each day, and its given
us a good opportunity to be suc-
cessful. Its always fun when you
win.
Haupt wasted little time, lead-
ing the Pride straight down the
field and dialing the end zone in
just 1 minute, 41 seconds after
finding Anthony Davis on a 25-
yard strike.

EDWARDSVILLE Many
times, one play decides the out-
come of a football game.
For Wilkes on Saturday, it was
one play but it came in the first
quarter.
The Colonels were playing
stellar on offense for the games
first five drives, moving the ball
and holding a potent Albright of-
fense in check.
Then a fake punt caught the
Colonels off guard, turned mo-
mentum to the Lions and helped
Albright remain unbeaten at 3-0
with a 27-13 victory at Schmidt
Stadium.
Wilkes (1-1 overall, 0-1 MAC)
got an interception from line-
backer Tate Moore-Jacobs on Al-
brights first drive. On the Lions
second possession, Wilkes forced

STATE COLLEGE -- Bill
OBrien waited just inside the
entrance to the locker room.
Every player that walked past
got a handshake. Or a high
five. A few seniors even went
in for a hug.
Those same players then
surroundedhiminthemiddle
of the room. After nine
months of little but public re-
lations workanddamage con-
trol since he was hired, the
Penn State coach got to talk
about a win.
His first as a head coach.
Penn State 34, Navy 7.
Thats just one! Thats on-
ly one! OBrien shouted as
Penn State video cameras
rolledtocapture a bit of histo-
ry. That was just what I told
youlast night. This canstart a
roll if we keep staying togeth-
er.

IF PUMMELING
Navy did anything for
Penn States down-
trodden football pro-
gram, it proved one
thing.
Penn State can still
beat the patsies.
The Nittany Lions at least confirmed
that much, by scorching a Navy team
that never really threatened to make a
game of it Saturday as the Lions rolled
to a 34-7 victory.
At least it wasnt 50-10.
That was the score of Navys first
defeat, to that "powerhouse" of a Notre
Dame team last week in a game played
in Dublin, Ireland.
And if Navy thought its fortunes
would change when it got back to the
United States, Penn State quarterback
Matt McGloin -- a Scranton native of
Irish heritage -- had a little reminder of
last week waiting. He bounced a 25-
yard touchdown pass off the facemask
of Penn State receiver Trevor Williams
and into the waiting arms of teammate
Allen Robinson for a 27-0 lead in the
third quarter.

"Sometimes, the luck of the
Irish helps you," McGloin
laughed afterwards.
It was Penn States lucky day
fromthe time Navy showed up.
McGloin connected on his first
six passes and nine of his first 10,
throwingthreetouchdownpasses
during that span.
His top target, Allen Robinson,
had a career high of 109 receiving
yards by the third play of the sec-
ond quarter and finished the
game with three touchdown
catches, five receptions and 136
yards.
Hopefully, these football kids
fromthe U.S. Naval Academy will
someday defend our country a lit-
tle better than they defend the
pass.
"We saw some things they did
defensively and were able to com-
plete some on them," Robinson
said. "I think its all about game-
planning."
Navys offense didnt appear to
have much of a plan, either.
The fewtimes Navy had oppor-
tunities to make Saturday after-
noon interesting, two drives deep
into Penn State territory ended in
turnovers and a third scoring
threat actually turned into the fi-
nal score for the Nittany Lions
when Mike Hull recovered a fum-
ble andreturnedit 74 yards to the
end zone.
By the time Navy did cross the
goal line, the game was long-de-
cided, with Penn State in com-
plete command, 34-0.
The Midshipmencouldnt keep
themselves afloat at Beaver Stadi-
um because theyre manning a
sinking ship.
The point is, the first victory of
a sorry early-seasonstart for Penn
State was nothing to get excited
about, because it came against an
inferior football team.
No, the Nittany Lions dont
have to apologize for it.
Theyvebeenthroughemotion-
al torture for almost a year, deal-
ing with a Sandusky scandal they
hadnothingtodowith, theNCAA
bowl bans and severe sanctions
that followed while adjusting to
new head coach Bill OBrien and
the loss of the late Joe Paterno.
They deserved to win again.
"All the hard work they put in
paid off," OBrien said, later add-
ing, "winningcures alot of things,
winning breeds a lot of confi-
dence."
And the Lions desperately
needed a shot of some self-es-
teem, after startingthe season0-2
witha defeat at home toOhioand
a one-point loss on a missed field
goal against Virginia.
"As soon as we stepped off the
fieldinVirginia, weknewweHAD
to win this week," said fullback
Michael Zordich, who stepped in-
tothetailbackpositionandranfor
50 yards on 11 carries against Na-
vy after injuries depletedthe posi-
tion.
"This was getting stupid," Zor-
dichcontinued. "It wasjust anatti-
tude thing -- click it in your head
We need to win."
The Lions found just what they
needed against a Navy team that
was basically inept.
"Its great, just winning on Sat-
urday, gettingbacktothewinning
feeling," Penn State linebacker
Michael Mauti saidaftermakinga
team-high 12 tackles, including a
sack. "Thats a serious monkey on
your back, not having a win yet."
Penn State has one now.
"But its just one," OBrien cau-
tioned.
Hes right.
Against a Navy team that
backed away from this battle, the
feeling of victory came back to
Penn State. Itll take much tough-
er tests to prove the Lions are
back on track.
BACK
Continued from Page 1C
STATE COLLEGE -- It began,
Paul Jones said, with a joke.
We were watching Patriots
film and (tight end) Aaron
Hernandez caught a lot of balls
that game, Jones said of a
video session with coach Bill
OBrien two days after the Nit-
tany Lions dropped their open-
er to Ohio. And I said, Coach,
thats me.
Just joking around. Then we
had a talk and he said, Well,
you should try.
So it was that Jones, once
one of the nations highest-rated
quarterback recruits out of high
school, found himself lining up
as a receiver for the first play of
his college career.
I didnt want to (switch) for
about an hour, Jones said. I
talked to (OBrien) some more,
then I said Id do it.
It was the third game of his
third season on campus when
the Pittsburgh-area native final-
ly got in a game for the Lions,
split out to the right of Matt
McGloin, the man who beat
him out for the starting job in
the spring.
Since then, Jones fell to third-
string behind true freshman
Steven Bench, forcing OBrien
to find a different way to get
him on the field.
He got his first touch in the
second quarter, snagging a
7-yard pass from McGloin to
pick up a first down. It was his
lone catch of the day.
It felt real good, Jones said.
As the ball was coming to me,
I kind of got nervous because it
was coming right at me. Then
after I caught it, my body just
went numb and I stopped think-
ing. I just reacted.
Jones opened warmups by
taking practice snaps as the
third-team quarterback. By the
time position drills began, he
worked out with the wide re-
ceivers.
Though OBrien said Jones is
working as an F-tight end -- a
versatile, line-up-anywhere
position, its safe to say the
Lions wont be counting on him
to do much blocking.
But OBrien would like to
find more ways to get him the
ball.
Yeah, we will get him more
involved, OBrien said. Hes a
great kid. I was glad to see him
catch that ball. That was good,
and a good start for him. Weve
got to keep building that pack-
age with him.
Infirmary report
For the second straight week,
Penn State played without
starting tailback Bill Belton,
who suffered an ankle injury in
the second half of the opener
against Ohio.
This time, top backup Derek
Day was also unavailable after
hurting his shoulder last week
against Virginia.
Curtis Dukes got the start at
tailback, but it was fullback
Michael Zordich -- often lined
up as the lone man in the back-
field -- who led the team in
rushing. Zordich finished with
career highs in carries (11) and
yards (50).
Michael and I have had a lot
of conversations about his role
on the football team, OBrien
said. Hes always reminded me,
I used to run the ball in high
school, Coach. I used to run the
ball. Its like (listening to)
Ferris Buellers teacher, its over
and over.
Hes a great kid, and with
the injuries there, we felt that
he was a guy that we wanted to
get on the field a little more. I
thought he did well for the
most part. Hes got to get his
pads down at times, but for the
most part he did a good job.
OBrien did not sound opti-
mistic about Beltons and Days
chances to play next week
against Temple, saying hed see
how they were feeling on Mon-
day.
One player who should be
back to face the Owls is left
tackle Donovan Smith, who
missed the Navy game with an
ankle injury.
Senior Mike Farrell shifted
from right tackle to the left side
with junior Adam Gress coming
into play the right side. West
Scrantons Eric Shrive, a guard
for much of his career, saw
significant snaps at right tackle.
Defensive end Pete Massaro
(shoulder) and linebacker
Nyeem Wartman of Valley View
(knee) also did not suit up for
the game.
Kicking woes continue
Some of the loudest cheers
from the crowd on the day
actually came in warmups.
Besieged kicker Sam Ficken
returned home after a night-
mare of a performance last
week against Virginia in which
he missed four field goals and
had an extra point blocked.
Students showed up with
signs to support him against
Navy and roared in approval
when the sophomore hit a pair
of 35-yarders -- one from each
hashmark -- during pregame.
After connecting on the extra
point on each of Penn States
first two touchdowns, however,
Ficken pushed his third PAT try
wide right during the second
quarter.
On the Lions next drive,
Penn State drove to the Navy
8-yard line. But on fourth down,
OBrien opted to go for it rather
than try to boost Fickens confi-
dence with a 25-yard attempt.
The pass was incomplete and
the Lions came away with noth-
ing.
I felt good about the play
call. It had nothing to do with
Sam Ficken, OBrien said. I
just felt good about the play call
that I had at that point. Obvi-
ously, it didnt work out. We
blew the protection on that. I
wouldnt take that call back.
Former QB Jones makes Patriotic move for Lions

PENN STATE
N O T E B O O K
FIRST QUARTER
PSU -- Jesse James 2-yard pass
from Matt McGloin (Sam Ficken
kick), 11:25. Drive: 7 plays, 72 yards,
3:31. Comment: Penn State comes
out slinging, the third straight week
that the offense has opened with a
productive drive. On play-action,
McGloin goes deep for favorite
target Allen Robinson down the left
sideline. Navy corner Parrish
Gaines stumbles trying to keep up
with Robinson, who has all day to
collect himself and wait for the
bomb to reach him before being
pushed out at the 4-yard line for a
gain of 45. On second-and-goal
from the 2, McGloin rolls right on
play-action and finds true fresh-
man tight end Jesse James for a
tough catch right at the boundary.
Its the first career touchdown and
the first career catch for James,
who enrolled in January. And
cheers erupt when Ficken bangs
home the extra point. PENN
STATE 7, NAVY 0.
PSU -- Allen Robinson 45-yard
pass from McGloin (Ficken kick),
6:40. Drive: 4 plays, 57 yards, 2:12.
The Lions find their mark, again
working on Gaines, the cornerback,
who cant keep pace with Rob-
inson. The emerging sophomore
star again badly burns Gaines
down the left sideline. This time he
has plenty of space to keep going
after the catch, freezing the safety
with a quick cut to the middle of
the field, racing untouched for his
second score of the season. PSU
14, USNA 0.
SECOND QUARTER
PSU -- Robinson 2-yard pass from
McGloin (kick failed), 8:59. Drive:
90 yards, 6:52. Comment: Navys
triple-option attack finally grinds
into gear, marching deep into Penn
State territory. But the Lions de-
fense, plagued by problems on
third down all season, comes up
with the stop, hitting quarterback
Trey Miller as hes throwing, allow-
ing Gerald Hodges to leap up and
snag his second career intercep-
tion. Unlike last week, the offense
converts the turnover into points,
efficiently working down to the
goal line without ever hitting third
down. Once again the Lions go
play-action from the 2 and Rob-
inson works his way open in the
middle of the end zone for another
touchdown. The problem? Ficken
pushes the extra point right. Its
the struggling kickers second PAT
miss in his last four attempts. PSU
20, USNA 0.
THIRD QUARTER
PSU -- Robinson 25-yard pass from
McGloin (Ficken kick), 2:23. Drive: 4
plays, 44 yards, 1:44. Comment: No
second-half collapse for the Lions
this time. Navy has some success
moving the ball, converting a cou-
ple of fourth-and-shorts to keep
drives alive. But a fourth-and-16 is
too much for them to pull off as
Michael Mauti pressures Miller into
an intentional grounding call,
getting a sack for his troubles.
Penn State then gets some pay-
back for the tipped touchdown
Ohio scored two weeks earlier.
McGloins strike down the middle to
Trevor Williams clangs off of the
freshmans hands at the goal line,
ricocheting to the back of the end
zone and right to Robinson. Its
Robinsons fifth catch and third
touchdown on the afternoon. PSU
27, USNA 0.
FOURTH QUARTER
PSU -- Mike Hull 74-yard fumble
return (Ficken kick), 14:13. Com-
ment: The defense had done every-
thing but score in last weeks loss
to Virginia. Check another one off
the list. With backup quarterback
Keenan Reynolds in the game, the
Mids went 53 yards down to the
Penn State 26 as the fourth quar-
ter began. But the second-stringer
botched a handoff with fullback
Noah Copeland and Hull, the soph-
omore linebacker, alertly scooped
up the loose ball on the run and
had nothing but daylight in front of
him. It was Penn States first fum-
ble return for a touchdown since
NaVorro Bowman ran one back 91
yards in the first half against East-
ern Illinois in October 2009. Start
up the band. PSU 34, USNA 0.
USNA -- Gee Gee Greene 12 yard-
run (Nick Sloan kick), 10:03. Drive:
10 plays, 75 yards, 4:10. Comment:
With backups from both teams
popping in and out, the Mids spoil
the shutout for the Lions. A15-yard
face mask call against the Lions
sets up Navy deep in Penn State
territory, where they scored on a
run by the talented slotback
Greene. PSU 34, USNA 7.
For Penn State, it was as much
about relief as it was about cele-
bration.
Players and coaches finally got
to unwind on Saturday, taking to
the south end zone to belt out the
alma mater with the crowd fol-
lowing the win.
"Winning, OBrien said,
cures a lot of things. I felt in
many ways that it was a longtime
coming.
And how. Officially, it was 15
years in the making.
Because of the NCAA sanc-
tions that stripped the Nittany Li-
ons of all of their wins from1998-
2011, the victory goes in the re-
cord books as Penn States first
since Nov. 22, 1997 -- a span of
5,411 days.
I feel very close to this football
teamand our staff, OBrien said.
This is a great group of kids.
Whenyouthinkof all of thethings
that theyve been through at 18,
19, 20yearsold, itsaneat groupof
kids.
I dont think in your coaching
career that youll haveachance, in
my opinion, to be around many
groups of kids like this. And that
says a lot coming from me, be-
cause Ive beenaroundsome pret-
ty special football teams. I just
feel great for these football play-
ers here at Penn State today.
Matt McGloin tied a career-
highwithfour touchdownpasses,
finishing 13-of-21 for 231 yards
and no turnovers.
Three of the scores went to
sophomore Allen Robinson, who
caught touchdowns from 45, 2
and 25 yards out. He had five
catches for 136 yards on the day.
McGloins other touchdown
went to true freshman tight end
Jesse James on a 2-yard play-ac-
tion pass on the games opening
drive.
The senior from Scranton add-
ed another bit of college football
history to his resume. He was at
the helm for Joe Paternos final
game and led the Lions to
OBriens first win.
Hes been through a ton so far
since hes taken the job here,
McGloinsaid. Its definitelybeen
frustratingfor us andfor him, and
it was so important for us to get
that win.
On defense, sophomore line-
backer Mike Hull returned a fum-
ble 74 yards for a touchdown to
closeout thescoringfor theLions
(1-2). It was the second straight
weekthedefenseforcedfourturn-
overs, recoveringthreeNavyfum-
bles andgettinga key red-zone in-
terception from Gerald Hodges
with the Midshipmen driving
down14-0.
There was no way we werent
going to win today, senior line-
backer Michael Mauti said. I
mean, everybody knew what we
had to do.
Defensively, everybody was
pretty confident. We had a great
gameplan. And offensively, you
just knew those guys were going
to start putting up points.
That they did.
Robinsonhas 24 catches onthe
season -- already halfway to the
Penn State record for catches in a
season by a sophomore after just
three games.
McGloin completed his first
seven passes in leading the Lions
to touchdowns on the teams first
three drives.
He had one last call to make on
the day, directing fellow seniors
Hodges and Jordan Hill to douse
OBrienwiththe water bucket be-
fore time ran out.
I heard the crowd, so I knew
something was up, said OBrien,
seizing on a rare opportunity to
laugh. Imsoakingwet right now
and it was just one (win).
Hell take it.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Brax-
ton Miller lofted a 72-yard
touchdown pass to an all-alone
Devin Smith with 3:26 left and
Christian Bryant snuffed out
Californias last chance with an
interception to power No. 12
Ohio State to a 35-28 win on
Saturday.
The Golden Bears (1-2) mis-
sed three field goals and had a
touchdown called back by a
penalty, while the Buckeyes
(3-0) gave up 512 yards and
were outplayed for much of the
second half.
Taking over at his own 25
with the score knotted, it took
just three plays until on third-
and-7 a defensive back thought
Miller would run and he instead
threw deep to a wide-open
Smith.
Bryant then picked off Zach
Maynards pass and returned it
38 yards to end the Bears last
threat.
No. 17 Michigan 63,
Massachusetts 13
ANN ARBOR, Mich. De-
nard Robinson put up 397 yards
of total offense and accounted
for four touchdowns for No. 17
Michigan.
Robinson, who came out of
the game with Michigan (2-1)
leading 56-13 late in the third
quarter, rushed for 106 yards
and a touchdown and complet-
ed 16 of 24 passes for 291 yards
and three scores. Tailback Fitz-
gerald Toussaint, who missed
Michigans opener due to sus-
pension and then carried for just
seven yards against Air Force,
had 85 yards and a touchdown
against the Minutemen.
Former Wolverine Michael
Cox, now a grad student at
UMass, led the Minutemen
(0-3) with 76 yards rushing, but
Michigan finished the game
with a 585-259 edge in yardage
Northwestern 22,
Boston College 13
EVANSTON, Ill. Mike
Trumpy ran for 106 yards with a
late touchdown for Northwest-
ern.
Jeff Budzien tied a school
record with five field goals and
the Wildcats (3-0) made it three
wins over three BCS teams to
start the season even though
they didnt reach the end zone
until the closing minutes.
Illinois 44,
Charleston Southern 0
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. Reilly
OToole threw for 333 yards and
five touchdowns and receiver
Ryan Lankford had 97 yards and
two scores to lead Illinois.
The Illini (2-1) were missing a
handful of starters who were
injured, including quarterback
Nathan Scheelhaase, who has
missed two games with a
sprained ankle. OToole got the
start and connected with Lank-
ford twice in the first quarter.
Purdue 54,
Eastern Michigan 16
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.
Caleb TerBush passed for two
touchdowns and ran for another
to power Purdue.
Akeem Hunt ran for 106 yards
and a touchdown on just four
attempts and scored a 50-yard
touchdown on his only catch.
Brandon Cottom ran for 95
yards and Antavian Edison
caught five passes for 78 yards
for the Boilermakers (2-1), who
were coming off a last-minute
20-17 loss to Notre Dame.
Minnesota 28,
Western Michigan 23
MINNEAPOLIS Max
Shortell replaced an injured
MarQueis Gray and passed for
188 yards and three touch-
downs, helping Minnesota over-
come a sluggish start.
Gray hurt his left leg late in
the second quarter with the
Gophers (3-0) trailing, but
Shortell steered a six-play, 78-
yard march for the go-ahead
score that A.J. Barker capped
with his second of three touch-
down receptions. The Broncos
went three and out, and Shortell
found Barker open on the side-
line for a 53-yard catch-and-run
to make it 21-10 with 30 seconds
left before halftime.
Iowa 27, Northern Iowa 16
IOWA CITY, Iowa Walk-on
fullback Mark Weisman rushed
for 113 yards and three short
touchdowns as Iowa won.
James Vandenberg added 228
yards passing for the Hawkeyes
(2-1).

Buckeyes escape Golden Bears grasp; Michigan pounds UMass
LINCOLN, Neb. Nebraska athletic
director Tom Osborne says coach
Bo Pelini is doing fine after
leaving Saturdays game against
Arkansas State by ambulance
after halftime.
Pelini fell ill during the first half,
and a member of the Nebraska
medical staff was seen checking
Pelinis pulse. He stayed on the
sideline the rest of the half and
was taken to a hospital after doc-
tors treated him in the locker
room.
Osborne said after the Huskers
42-13 win that initial reports from
the hospital indicated Pelini was
doing fine and that it looks as
though hes in pretty good shape.
Osborne declined to comment on
the nature of Pelinis symptoms.
Osborne said it was serious
enough that the medical staff
thought Pelini needed to be
checked out at the hospital.

Ohio States Braxton Miller, left, tries to outrun Californias Nick
Forbes during the fourth quarter Saturday in Columbus, Ohio.
STANFORD, Calif. Even
without Andrew Luck, Stanford
still has every answer for Matt
Barkley and Southern Cali-
fornia.
Josh Nunes threw a go-ahead
37-yard touchdown to Zach
Ertz, Stepfan Taylor ran for 153
yards and scored two touch-
downs, and No. 21 Stanford
upset second-ranked USC 21-14
on Saturday night for its fourth
straight win in this series.
Heisman Trophy hopeful Matt
Barkley threw for 254 yards and
two interceptions while com-
pleting only 20 of 41 passes. He
was sacked twice on the final
drive for the Trojans (2-1, 0-1
Pac-12) and threw out of bounds
on a final, desperate heave on
fourth-and-39 from USCs 25-
yard line.
The Cardinal (3-0, 1-0) are 3-0
for the third straight season for
the first time since 1970-72, and
have their longest winning
streak ever against the Trojans.
No. 1 Alabama 52, Arkansas 0
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.
Eddie Lacy ran for three touch-
downs and No. 1 Alabama
forced five turnovers in a 52-0
win over Arkansas.
Vinnie Sunseri and Haha
Clinton-Dix had interceptions
against the Razorbacks, who
played without quarterback
Tyler Wilson because he had a
head injury in last weeks loss to
Louisiana-Monroe.
The shutout was the second
straight for the Crimson Tide
(3-0, 1-0 Southeastern Confer-
ence). The last time Alabama,
which has now forced 11 turn-
overs this season, had back-to-
back shutouts was against Van-
derbilt and Kentucky in 1980.
AJ McCarron was 11-of-16
passing for 189 yards and a
touchdown.
No. 3 LSU 63, Idaho 14
BATON ROUGE, La. Ro-
nald Martin and Lavar Edwards
each intercepted deflected pas-
ses and returned them for
scores, and No. 3 LSU rolled to
a 63-14 victory over winless
Idaho on Saturday night.
LSU intercepted Idahos Do-
minique Balckman four times,
with Martin snagging two, en
route to an NCAA FBS record
40th-straight non-conference
regular season victory.
LSU (3-0) also set a Tiger
stadium mark with 20 straight
home wins, while extending its
nation-long regular-season win-
ning streak to 16 games.
LSU quarterback Zach Met-
tenberger passed for 222 yards
and two TDs.
No. 4 Oregon 63,
Tennessee Tech 14
EUGENE, Ore. Marcus
Mariota threw for 308 yards and
four touchdowns before No. 4
Oregon pulled its starters in a
63-14 victory over Tennessee
Tech on Saturday.
Multitalented DeAnthony
Thomas had 222 all-purpose
yards on 10 touches. He ran for
a 59-yard touchdown and caught
a 16-yard scoring pass from
Mariota.
The Ducks (3-0) were playing
their final nonconference game
before hosting Arizona next
Saturday. They had 652 yards in
total offense, compared to 177
yards for Tennessee Tech. Ore-
gon did have its issues, however,
with 12 penalties for 105 yards.
The Golden Eagles (2-1) have
never defeated an FBS-level
team in 28 tries. The game
against the Ducks was the Ohio
Valley Conference teams first
against a Pac-12 opponent.
No. 5 Florida State 52,
Wake Forest 0
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Chris
Thompson scored on runs of 74
and 80 yards on successive
carries to lead No. 5 Florida
State to a 52-0 victory over
Wake Forest on Saturday.
Thompson, who suffered a
broken back at Wake Forest a
year ago that nearly ended his
career, already had a career-high
197 yards following his 80-yard
touchdown run that put the
Seminoles into a 28-0 lead with
9:42 remaining in the first half.
His 74-yard touchdown fol-
lowed a 60-yard punt return TD
by Rashad Greene as the Semi-
noles (3-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast
Conference) led 38-0 at the half.
No. 7 Georgia 56, Florida
Atlantic 20
ATHENS, Ga. Aaron Mur-
ray passed for a career-best 342
yards and two touchdowns, also
scored twice on short runs, and
No. 7 Georgia bounced back
from another slow start to rout
Florida Atlantic 56-20 on Sat-
urday night.
Playing without Jarvis Jones
and two other defensive stal-
warts, Georgia (3-0) struggled
in the first half to slow a Florida
Atlantic team that scored a
single touchdown against lower-
division Wagner. The 44-point
underdog Owls (1-2) kept con-
verting third downs and found
themselves tied at 14 early in
the second quarter.
No. 8 South Carolina 49, UAB
6
COLUMBIA, S.C. Connor
Shaw went 8 of 14 for 107 yards
before reinjuring his throwing
shoulder as No. 8 South Car-
olina beat UAB 49-6 on Saturday
night.
Shaw left the game after tak-
ing a brutal hit just late in the
first half. Team officials said the
junior aggravated the bruised
right shoulder that kept him out
of last weeks game.
Sophomore Dylan Thompson
took over again, throwing a
95-yard touchdown pass to
Damiere Byrd that put South
Carolina (3-0) up 35-6 midway
through the third quarter.
No. 9 West Virginia 42,
James Madison 12
LANDOVER, Md. Geno
Smith completed 34 of 39 pas-
ses for 411 yards and five touch-
downs Saturday, and No. 9 West
Virginia rolled to a 42-12 win
over James Madison.
Smith set the schools career
passing yardage record, topping
Marc Bulger.
Stedman Bailey and Tavon
Austin both had 100 yards re-
ceiving before halftime for the
Mountaineers, who improved to
2-0 and are 13-0 all time against
FCS schools.
Bailey finished with 173 yards
on 13 catches and three touch-
downs. Austin had 113 yards on
11 receptions and one score.
No. 20 Notre Dame 20, No. 10
Michigan St. 3
EAST LANSING, Mich.
Everett Golson threw a touch-
down pass and ran for a score to
help No. 20 Notre Dame beat
No. 10 Michigan State 20-3
Saturday night.
The Fighting Irish (3-0)
snapped a six-game losing
streak against ranked teams and
beat a top-10 opponent for the
first time in seven years to give
Brian Kelly a signature win in
his third season.
The Spartans (2-1) had won
15 straight at home. The streak
included a win over the Irish in
2010 on a fake field goal in over-
time that preceded coach Mark
Dantonio having a heart attack.
No. 11 Clemson 41, Furman 7
CLEMSON, S.C. Tajh Boyd
threw for 310 yards and three
touchdown passes, Sammy
Watkins had a 58-yard touch-
down run in his season debut
and No. 11 Clemson won its
30th straight over Furman, 41-7,
on Saturday.
Andre Ellington added a pair
of rushing touchdowns for the
Tigers (3-0).
Watkins scored in the first
quarter after taking an inside
handoff from Boyd and rushing
past the right side of Furmans
defense. The All-American soph-
omore receiver spent the past
two games on the sideline, sus-
pended for a May drug arrest.
He finished with four catches
for 52 yards.
Pittsburgh 35, No. 13 Virginia
Tech 17
PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh
Ray Graham ran for 94 yards
and two scores and added an
18-yard touchdown reception to
lead the Panthers to a 35-17
upset of No. 13 Virginia Tech on
Saturday.
Tino Sunseri passed for 283
yards and three touchdowns and
freshman running back Rushel
Shell added 157 yards as Pitt
(1-2) gave coach Paul Chryst his
first career victory in emphatic
fashion.
The Panthers never trailed,
forced four turnovers and took
advantage of uncharacteristical-
ly sloppy play by the Hokies.
Virginia Tech (2-1) had won
13 straight true road games, the
longest active streak in the
country, but let Pitt race to a
quick three-touchdown lead and
never really threatened. Logan
Thomas completed just 14 of 31
passes for 265 yards and one
touchdown against three in-
terceptions.
No. 15 Kansas State 35, North
Texas 21
MANHATTAN, Kan. Col-
lin Klein threw for 230 yards
and accounted for three touch-
downs, Tyler Lockett returned a
kickoff 96 yards for another
score and No. 15 Kansas State
eased past pesky North Texas
35-21 on Saturday night.
Tramaine Thompson caught
five passes for 102 yards and two
scores, and John Hubert added
a touchdown on the ground for
Kansas State (3-0), which strug-
gled to put away the tougher-
than-expected Mean Green in
its tuneup for next Saturdays
showdown with fifth-ranked
Oklahoma.
North Texas (1-2) scratched
and clawed its way within 14-13
late in the third quarter before
Klein and Thompson hooked up
for their second touchdown.
Hubert and Klein added
fourth-quarter scoring runs to
finally give Kansas State breath-
ing room.
No. 16 TCU 20, Kansas 6
LAWRENCE, Kan. Casey
Pachall threw for 335 yards and
two touchdowns, both of them
to Brandon Carter, and No. 16
TCU beat Kansas 20-6 on Sat-
urday in its Big 12 debut.
Carter finished with eight
catches for 141 yards, and Way-
mon James added 99 yards
rushing for the Horned Frogs
(2-0, 1-0), who pushed the na-
tions longest winning streak to
10 games by beating up on the
team picked to finish last in the
conference in preseason polls.
Dayne Crist led the Jayhawks
(1-2, 0-1) with 303 yards passing,
but he was also intercepted
once, fumbled as he was head-
ing into the end zone in the
fourth quarter, and missed sev-
eral third-down throws that
prevented Kansas from cap-
italizing on TCU turnovers.
No. 18 Florida 37,
No. 23 Tennessee 20
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Jeff
Driskel threw two touchdown
passes and Trey Burton rushed
for a pair of scores Saturday as
No. 18 Florida scored the final
24 points to beat No. 23 Ten-
nessee 37-20 and make it eight
straight wins against its SEC
East rival.
Burton, a fullback who often
takes snaps out of the Wildcat
formation, raced 80 yards down
the right sideline to tie the score
20-20 with 3:15 left in the third
quarter.
Florida (3-0, 2-0) went ahead
for good on Driskels 23-yard
touchdown pass to tight end
Jordan Reed with 30 seconds
remaining in the third. Driskel
added a 75-yard touchdown pass
to Frankie Hammond in the
fourth quarter.
No. 19 Louisville 39,
North Carolina 34
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Teddy
Bridgewater threw three first-
half touchdowns and No. 19
Louisville scored on its first six
possessions, and then had to
hold North Carolina with a late
goal-line stand to come away
with a 39-34 victory on Sat-
urday.
Bryn Renner settled down
from a rough first half to rally
the Tar Heels (1-2) from a 36-7
deficit with four second-half
touchdowns, including a screen
pass to Romar Morris for a
50-yard touchdown with 4:23
remaining.
North Carolinas Norkeithus
Otis then forced Adrian Bushell
to fumble the ensuing kickoff,
and the Tar Heels recovered at
the Cardinals 10.

IF YOU KNOW the
name Frisman Jackson,
then youre either relat-
ed to him or youve
played WAY too much
fantasy football. (Which
is a good thing, actual-
ly.)
Jackson came out of nowhere in Cleve-
lands 2005 season opener to catch eight
passes for 128 yards and a TD. The waiver
wire scramble for Jackson was fierce like
Last Cabbage Patch Doll on the Toy Store
Shelves in 1983 fierce. Whoever ended up
with a piece of the ol Frisman was prob-
ably pretty happy.
By Week 5, they
were cursing the day
he was born.
Jackson was what
fantasy football
scientists call a
fluke. He ended
2005 with 24 catches
and 287 receiving
yards. And that Week
1 TD was his only
career score.
The tongue-twist-
ing Week 1 waiver
wire is a perilous
place. Its too small a
sample size to be
definitive, but if you
want to be the first
kid on your block to
grab the years break-
through star, this is
the time to do it.
Only time will tell whether you got
yourself a 11 Cam Newton model or a 05
Frisman Jackson. Luckily, time is the rest
of the season. And it begins this week.
QUICK PICK-ME-UPS
1. Dennis Pitta, TE, Ravens. There are
strong signs Pitta is going to be a breakout
star. Here, lets do the math. 1: The trend in
the NFL is to have a pass-catching weapon
(or two) at tight end a la New England.
2: Baltimore is transitioning to more of a
passing team. 3: Pitta is a tight end. Add
everything up, and his five-reception,
73-yard, 1-TD opener seems like the rule in
2012, not the exception.
2. Andrew Hawkins, WR, Bengals. Cin-
cinnati may have found an answer to whos
No. 2 behind A.J. Green. His opening line
was eight catches for 86 yards.
3. Dexter McCluster, RB/WR Chiefs.
Some leagues have him as a RB, others as
a WR. Either way, hes a weapon who gets
looks in that Chiefs offense.
START THESE GUYS
1. Stevan Ridley, RB, Patriots. The thing
about New England is they dont give a
rats patoot about your fantasy team. Just
when you think theyre not much of a
running team, here comes Ridley and his
125-yard effort with a TD on top. The Pats
formula in Week 1 was simple: Get a big
lead; rely on the defense to stop an inferior
offense; run the ball to kill out the second
half. Its a formula theyll follow again this
week against Arizona.
2. C.J. Spiller, RB, Bills. Did you actually
think Fred Jackson was going to last the
season? Spiller could be a Top 10 fantasy
pick next year. This is going to get good.
3. Raiders Defense. The Amazing Ad-
ventures of the Oakland Punting Game
put the defense in bad spots all game long
against San Diego. But they only gave up
one TD and five field goals. Now they get
Miami and rookie QB Ryan Tannehill.
Hmmm. Fresh meat.
NOT THESE GUYS
1. Shonn Greene, RB, Jets. Greene man-
aged to get a garbage time TD against the
Bills. Thing is, Pittsburgh is really good
against the run and there wont be any
garbage time for the Jets in this game.
2. Willis McGahee, RB, Broncos. Over
the season, McGahee is going to be a
valuable RB. Just not this week. The Bron-
cos game against Atlanta in the Georgia
Dome promises to be a shootout, and
McGahee isnt much of a receiver.
3. Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Cardinals. OK,
so I know you cant really afford to sit Fitz,
since you probably drafted him very early
on. But there are reasons why I dont think
hell have a good day today. Let me make
my case. What is New Englands philoso-
phy on defense? They take away what the
other team does best. And who is Arizonas
best weapon? Its ONLY weapon?
RICH SHEPOSH
F A N T A S Y F O O T B A L L
A real find
or another
Frisman?
ONE FACT
TO KNOW
Atlanta just lost its
best cornerback for
the season with a
torn Achilles. That
means two things: 1.
It just became a
little easier to throw
on the Falcons. 2.
With the defense
likely giving up
more yards, Matt
Ryan, Julio Jones
and Roddy White
just became more
valuable.
>> JETS AT STEELERS: When the
Steelers and Jets play in the regular sea-
son, New York is 3-1 since 2003. When they
meet up in the playoffs, Pittsburgh is 2-0.
The Steelers are 0-1 against teams Tim
Tebow plays on since forever. What does
all this point to? The Steelers will lose to
the Jets today, trade for Tebow before the
trade deadline, and then knock the Jets out
of the playoffs. Or, maybe not.
>> RAIDERS AT DOLPHINS: Way
back in the groovy, happenin days of the
1970s, the Raiders and Dolphins were really
good. When Pittsburgh wasnt winning
Super Bowls, these guys were. And on Dec.
21, 1974, they played an AFC playoff game
which went down in NFL lore. With 24
seconds left, and Oakland trailing 26-21, the
Raiders Clarence Davis caught the game-
winning TD pass in a crowd of Miami de-
fenders. The play would become known as
The Sea of Hands. Now when the teams
play, the game is known as A Regional
Broadcast.
>> REDSKINS AT RAMS: If Robert
Griffin III comes out and lights up the Rams
today, someone in the St. Louis front office
better hope they saved the receipt for the
No. 2 pick in last springs draft. You see, the
Rams earned that pick with a 2-14 season in
2011. They then traded it to Washington,
who turned it into Robert Griffin
III heretofore known as RG3.
The Rams said they were
happy with Sam Bradford at
QB. Since he was drafted
No. 1 overall in 2010, Brad-
ford has a grand total of zero
player of the week
awards. RG3 got one
in his first NFL
game.
>> LIONS AT
49ERS: The
last time Lions
coach Jim
Schwartz and 49ers
coach Jim
Harbaugh met after a game, they acted like
Obama and Romney supporters who also
happen to be Red Sox and Yankee fans. It
was last October, and San Fran had just
beaten Detroit. The coaches met for the
midfield handshake. Harbaugh was happy,
Schwartz was sad. There was a backslap,
bumping, shoving, naughty words and lots
of TV coverage. Both coaches say that this
time, they will play nice. We will see.
>> BROWNS AT BENGALS: Did you
know, the Cleveland Browns are the only
NFL teamwithout a logo on their helmets?
And that logoless helmet IS the
teams official logo. But many
moons ago, Cleveland actually had
a funky mascot as a logo an elf.
He was called the Brownie Elf,
and was used by the teamfrom
1948 to 1969. A Brownie, by the
way, is a legendary Scottish
creature who was said to live
in homes and help with the
chores. Problemis, they
prefer to work at night. And
since most NFL games are
played in daylight, that prob-
ably explains why Cleveland
hasnt had much luck.

HOUSTON Dallas Keu-
chel pitched five-hit ball into
the sixth inning and the Hous-
ton Astros beat the Philadel-
phia Phillies 5-0 Saturday and
avoided their 100th loss of the
season.
The Phillies were slowed in
their surge for an NL playoff
spot for the second time in
three games by the worst team
in the big leagues. Philadelphia
entered the day three games
behind St. Louis for the final
wild-card spot. The Carindals
played the Dodgers later Sat-
urday.
Kyle Kendrick Kendrick
(9-11) struggled early and was
done after just five innings, his
shortest outing in more than a
month. He gave up four runs
on seven hits, including a two-
run homer to Justin Maxwell.
Braves 5, Nationals 4
ATLANTA Pinch-runner
Jeff Baker scored the go-ahead
run in the eighth inning when
reliever Ryan Mattheus hit
Andrelton Simmons uniform
with a bases-loaded pitch that
helped the Atlanta Braves beat
the Washington Nationals 5-4
on Saturday.
Jason Heyward and Freddie
Freeman homered for the
Braves, who have won the first
two games in the series and
nine of 13.
Atlanta moved within 6
1
2
games of first-place Washing-
ton in the NL East. The Braves
began the game with a seven-
game lead over third-place Los
Angeles in the NL wild-card
race.
Brewers 9, Mets 6
MILWAUKEE Rickie
Weeks hit a two-run homer
during a five-run fourth inning
to lift the Brewers to a win
over the Mets.
Trailing 4-1 in the fourth the
Brewers rallied for five runs to
win for the 19th time in 25
games and stay in the hunt for
a wild card. The Mets lost for
the ninth time in 11 games.
Weeks homer capped the
inning and was his 20th of the
season. He also had a double,
scored two runs and drove in
three. Reliever Brandon Kint-
zler (2-0) pitched a scoreless
fifth to get credit for the victo-
ry.
Giants 3, Diamondbacks 2

Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick reacts after giving up a two-run
home run to the Astros Justin Maxwell Saturday.
Sabathia lost his third straight
decision, Nova outpitched
James Shields and gave New
Yorks rotation a nice boost.
David Robertson worked a
perfect eighth and Rafael Soria-
no got three outs for his 39th
save in 42 attempts.
With two on in the ninth, Sor-
iano fanned pinch-hitter Elliot
Johnson for the final out as-
suring the Yankees (82-63) their
20th consecutive winning sea-
son.
Nova (12-7) missed a little
more than three weeks with in-
flammation in his right rotator
cuff. Making his first start since
Aug. 21, he was charged with
two runs and four hits in six-plus
innings. He struck out eight and
walked two, improving to 5-1 in
eight career starts against Tam-
pa Bay with his second win over-
all since the All-Star break.
The 25-year-old right-hander
was lifted after Jeff Keppingers
leadoff single on his 85th pitch
in the seventh. He pointed to the
crowd, tapped his chest and
doffed his cap as he walked off
the field to a grateful ovation
from the crowd of 46,856.
Joba Chamberlain gave up a
two-run single to pinch-hitter
Luke Scott before striking out
Desmond Jennings to preserve a
4-3 lead. Jennings whiffed three
times in the leadoff spot.
Rodriguez added an RBI sin-
gle in the eighth off Jake McGee
after center fielder B.J. Upton
misplayed Robinson Canos
deep liner into a double. Before
that, McGee had retired 22 con-
secutive batters, 13 on strike-
outs.
Raul Ibanez drew a leadoff
walk in the second and Grander-
son sent his 39th homer into the
lower seats in right field. Prior
to that swing, Granderson was 6
for 56 (.107) against Shields.
Nunez, who made a key error
at shortstop late in Friday
nights 6-4 loss to the Rays, fol-
lowed with a long drive to left
for his first major league homer
since Sept. 21last season also
off Shields. That made Nunez 7
for 14 with two home runs
against the right-hander.
Coming off a two-hit shutout
Sunday against Texas, Shields
(14-9) allowed four runs and six
hits in 6 1-3 innings. Big Game
James has been anything but
that at Yankee Stadium, where
he is 0-6 in his last seven starts.
The right-hander was 6-1 with
a 2.22 ERA in his previous seven
decisions.
Novas fine outing marked the
latest of what the Yankees hope
will be several late-season rein-
forcements.
Rodriguez came back Sept. 3
from a broken hand and Andy
Pettitte is set to pitch Tuesday
against Toronto in his return
from a broken ankle thats side-
lined him since June 28. First
baseman Mark Teixeira is still
trying to recover from a calf in-
jury, but hes still sore and
theres no timetable for him to
get back in the batting cage,
manager Joe Girardi said Satur-
day.
Jeter saw 20 pitches in a span
of two at-bats. He flied out on
Shields 11th delivery to him in
the thirdbefore bouncing anRBI
single up the middle on the
ninth pitch in the fifth to extend
his hitting streak to 11 games.
That scored Ichiro Suzuki, who
singled with two outs and stole
second.

DUNMORE Tony Politz ran
for 169 yards and a touchdown in
the first half, and the Northwest
defense allowed just 7 yards in the
second half of a 41-0 thumping of
Holy Cross in high school football
Saturday at St. Anthonys Play-
ground.
We didnt play very well last
week defensively, said Northwest
coach Carl Majer, reflecting back
to his teams 16-14 loss to Susque-
hanna. We worked to make ad-
justments this week, the kids did
what they were taught, and we
were better.
The Rangers (2-1) were dom-
inant defensively, allowing only
one first down in the final three
quarters and three overall. The
Crusaders (0-3) were limited to 48
yards of offenseandturnedtheball
over four times, despite shuffling
looks by playing two quarterbacks
similar to the game planemploy-
ed by Northwest.
Were just out there doing what
we do in practice, Northwests
Denver McCourt said. It definite-
ly helps us out seeingtwodifferent
quarterbacks in practice. Were
able to adjust because were used
to it.
One of the turnovers a fumble
recoverybyMcCourt was turned
into points as the junior went 10
yards for a third-quarter touch-
down.
Ive never scored a touchdown
before ever, McCourt said his
score. I sawthe ball (knockedfree
from the ball carrier by Allen Gul-
bierz) onthegroundandI couldnt
pass up that opportunity.
It definitely felt like it was 100
yards and not just a 10-yard run.
Northwest had nine tackles for
loss, including three from Dakota
Bowman and two by Cody Hart
(who also recovered a fumble
forced by Matt Zawatski). Taylor
Kishbaugh had the Rangers lone
sack and another stop behind the
line of scrimmage.
Tyler Pegarella had an impres-
sive diving interception in third
quarter for Northwest. And Tyler
Harrison covered a fumbled snap
by Holy Cross.
Politz scored on runs of 1and12
yards while gaining 196 in the
game on 20 carries. He had four
rushes of at least 20 yards, capped
by a 43-yarder late inthe first quar-
ter, and three more of at least 10
yards to maintain the yardage lead
in the conference.
Zawatski and Eric Gurzynski
added touchdowns on the ground
for Northwest.
Adam Schechterly really
helped us out in the backfield,
Majer said. And so did Dakota
Bowman, a first-year player whos
been playing a phenomenal defen-
sive end for us. He ran the ball for
us, too.

Widener (3-0) led 26-0 after
the first quarter, and 46-0 at half-
time after scoring on its first five
possessions andsevenof eight in
the opening 30 minutes.
No. 1, its a MACopponent. It
doesnt matter if they are new to
the league or been there for 10
years, as long as they play every
team in this league, we have to
win them, Widener head coach
Isaac Collins said. Our second
goal is to have a winning record
onthe road. Today was anoppor-
tunity to continue forward on
those goals. Im proud that our
kids played hard early, and keep
the intensity throughout.
For Mark Ross, it wasnt the
most ideal opponent for the home
opener.
Widener, an experienced
squad, has dominated the compe-
titionwithanexplosive, up-tempo
offense. Misericordia, a roster
loaded with freshmen and sport-
ing only three seniors, has strug-
gled to move the football let
alone score points having been
outscored 184-7 in three games.
That dont mean Ross will set-
tle for anything less, admitting he
doesnt set small goals entering
each game.
We want to win every game
when we step on the field, he
said. Im not going to resign my-
self to thinking we cant win on
the field. Imnot doing any justice
to these guys if I do that. We
havent performed well enough to
come away with a victory yet. I
coach one way, and played one
way my whole life. And thats to
win. Thats why we keep score.
In the beginning, though, it
might be about small goals.
The Cougars (0-3) moved the
ball at times against the Pride,
with the best chance coming
early in the third quarter, after
taking five minutes off the clock
on a 12-play drive.
Down to the Widener 14, quar-
terback Jeffrey Puckett rolled
out, overthrew his receiver and
was intercepted by Nicholas
White.
Im very pleased with the de-
fense, Collins said. I would
have liked to see a fewmore turn-
overs, but as a football coach, you
cant ask for anything more. They
pitched a shutout, and played
hard. They ran to the football.
When they were able to establish
some things offensively, we were
abletochangeupandget themoff
the field.
Misericordia was held to just
170 yards of offense, while Widen-
er amassed almost 700 yards.
We kind of blew the protec-
tion, which didnt give us the
chance, Ross said of the red zone
interception. Thats the type of
stuff that we have to eliminate,
andwearenot doingthat. Insome
ways, we did some better things.
We did put together some drives,
but we have to finish themoff. We
keep finding a way to make a cru-
cial mistake to end them. Thats
got to stop. Widener is a really
good football team, probably the
best weveseenyet, soits toughto
say where we are at. The thing
that stuckout tome was the phys-
icality, and thats something we
can address.
Haupt threw two scores in the
third quarter, boosting the lead to
60-0 after three, and Tevin Camp-
bells 14-yard TD scamper set the
score at 67-0.
We want to win the MAC and
get into the dance. Thats the
next step for us, Collins said.
We have tofinda way next week
to beat Wilkes. Thats got to be
our focus and approach. Its one
game at a time. If we are1-0 after
next weekend, then we accom-
plished our mission and got it
done.

The Misericordia football team takes to the field for the first home game at Mangelsdorf Field on
Saturday afternoon against Widener. The Pride won 67-0.
a three-and-out. It was the same
scenario on the teams third of-
fensive stanza as the Lions lined
up to punt on fourth-and-12.
But Albright quarterback T.J.
Luddy, who is also the teams
punter, found receiver Scott Pil-
lar for a 32-yard gain down to the
Wilkes 25.
Four plays later, the Lions
capped the drive with a touch-
down pass from Luddy to Pillar
for a 7-0 lead on the first play of
the second quarter.
That gave them a tremen-
dous amount of momentum.
Our defense was playing ex-
tremely well at that point,
Wilkes coach Frank Sheptock
said. Wewerepreparedfor fakes
and things of that nature, but
whenyoure out there as the gun-
ner you dont know if theyre
kicking or passing the ball.
When they use the starting quar-
terback as the punter and the
two starting wide receivers as the
gunners, it creates some matchup
issues.
The Colonels werent the same
after that fake. They had trouble
movingthe ball the rest of the half
and quarterback Tyler Bernsten
wasinterceptedtwicebyDrewPe-
terson in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, Albright was driv-
ingfor another score after the first
interception to take a 13-0 advan-
tage at the 12:32 mark. Albright
netted a touchdown to begin the
second half to open a 20-0 lead.
Luddy and fellow quarterback
Adam Galczynski kept finding
preseason All-American wide re-
ceiver Pillar for completions. Pil-
lar finished with14 receptions for
156 yards and two touchdowns.
Its the second straight time Pillar
burnedthe Colonels defense. Last
year, he hauled in more than 200
yards receiving.
Its a tough matchup, Shep-
tock said about the receiver, who
led the MAC in receiving in 2011.
Obviously, were still fairly young
in the secondary. I think Scotts a
great player andplayedextremely
well today.
But Wilkes wasnt going to go
away quietly. Two years ago play-
ingat Schmidt Stadium, Bernsten
led his team to a come-from-be-
hindwinagainst the Lions. Nowa
junior, he started a similar come-
back in the fourth quarter to give
the team hope. He capped a 12-
play, 97-yard drive with a 3-yard
scoring strike to Drew Devitt to
cut the lead to 20-7 with 9:49 on
the clock. On Wilkes next posses-
sion, BernstenledtheColonels 79
yards on10 plays, resulting in a 2-
yard run by the QB to trim the
lead to 20-13 with 5:51 left.
But the next time Albright had
the ball, it sustained a 5-minute
drive, grabbing a late score to end
the game.
Throughout the course of the
week I thought about (the 2010
comeback) but not somuchwhen
it was going on, Sheptock added.
I thought we put ourselves in a
real difficult hole and I was proud
of the way we battled back.
Sheptock remains with 99 ca-
reer wins. He will get another
crack at 100 next week at Widen-
er.

Kickoff return starts wave

Abington Heights in victory.

teams away.
The young Comets, though,
know how to hang on. Last Fri-
day, they stopped North Pocono
on a two-point try with 1:04 left
for a 21-20 victory. On Saturday,
it came down to making another
stop in order to prevent a possi-
ble overtime.
Pittston Area (0-3) got a final
chance when it gained posses-
sion with 2:17 remaining at the
Crestwood 15 after a 12-yard
punt. Three plays later, quarter-
back Kyle Gattuso, in for injured
James Emmett, rifled a pass to
Richard Weinstock for a 17-yard
touchdown, moving the Patriots
within 14-12.
It was Gattusos first pass of
the game and Weinstocks first
touchdown of his career. The
goodfeelingdidnt last long. Gat-
tuso rolled right on the two-
point attempt, but Crestwoods
defense forced him to bow deep-
er than intended. That took
away the run option and he had
to fling a desperation pass that
landed incomplete outside the
right corner of the end zone.
The onside kick attempt
sailed into the Pittston Area
bench, allowing Crestwood to
run out the clock.
What can you say to the kids
in a situation like that? Pittston
Area coach Mike Barrett said. I
said to them Promise me youre
with me. Give me the word
youre with me. Well learn from
this and well move on. Hopeful-
ly, they will. Theyre a great
bunch of kids and theyre not go-
ing to stop fighting.
The prior 47 minutes consist-
ed of a couple big plays, 21penal-
ties, squandered opportunities
and six interceptions as neither
team could seize control.
Crestwood was able to hit on
two big plays a 25-yard TD re-
ception by Rich Golden in the
first quarter and a 52-yard run by
fullback Frank Aigeldinger with
1:13 left in the third that proved
to be the game-winner. In be-
tween, Joe Starinsky hauled in a
19-yard touchdown pass, but the
extra point clanged off the left
upright as the Comets main-
tained a 7-6 lead.
The Patriots also had two
drives wilt in the red zone one
late inthe thirdandanother mid-
way through the fourth. The lat-
ter hurt the most as they had
three cracks at the endzone from
the Comet 4, yet gained just 2
yards.

WYOMING Last year, Nanti-
cokes boys soccer team was the
laughing stock of the Wyoming
Valley Conference finishing 0-16
and being outscored by nearly
100 goals.
What a difference a year
makes.
This year, the Trojans are com-
pletely different, playing stellar
defense and becoming a conten-
der in Division III. The teams
improvements were evident Sat-
urday morning in a 4-0 win over
up-and-coming Wyoming Area
for its fourth straight win to im-
prove to 4-1 on the season.
Its a combination of a lot of
things and theyre tired of los-
ing, said Nanticoke coach Mark
Matusek, who led his team to a
division title in 2008 with 13
wins, but won a total of just sev-
en matches the next three sea-
sons.
Some of the bigreasons for the
Trojans turnaround this season
were on display against the War-
riors (2-5). Freshman Eddie Lu-
kowski, who is becoming a top
player in the division, scored
twice just four minutes apart in
the first half for a quick 2-0 lead
13 minutes into the game.
Lukowskis father, Ed, who is
Nanticokes all-time leading
scorer, joined Matuseks coach-
ingstaff since girls soccer moved
tothe fall. Former assistant Ryan
Amos is the girls coach.
Then theres the defense,
which netted its second shutout
of the season and only allowed
more than two goals in a match
once so far.
Freshman keeper Carmelo
Pioquinto has been a bright spot
all season and made 11 saves
against the Warriors. Senior de-
fender Andrew Blank has been
marking opponents key players
all season and doing a stellar job,
while fellow senior defender
Adam Lutz has been a key de-
fender. Senior forward Tyler Ro-
baczewski, who missed last sea-
son due to health reasons, has al-
sobeenhelpingtheteamonboth
sides of the ball and junior for-
ward Mike Mihneski added a
goal in the first half against
Wyoming Area for a 3-0 lead.
He found the back of the net
again four minutes into the sec-
ond half to cap the scoring.
The freshmen players have
come in contributing right off
the bat and the older players
have worked to get better, Ma-
tusek said. There isnt one play-
er on this teamthat doesnt want
to learn and get better.
The Warriors meanwhile are
in a similar situation as the Tro-
jans, with many players return-
ing from last years squad that
finished 6-10. After an off first
half, they got their game work-
ing in the second half, outshoot-
ingNanticokeduringthecontest
15-12 but it was a little too late.
Wyoming Areas aggressive de-
fense was stingy, but Lukowski
managed to work a pair of run-
throughs to exploit the unit.

Dennis Morgan doesnt know
who started the website
www.huntingpa.com in 2001.
Ownership has changed
hands multiple times, he said,
andthings got lost intheshuffle.
But it didnt hurt the websites
popularity, which features an in-
teractive forum with 71 topics
used by nearly 30,000 members.
The free site allows members
to discuss and raise questions
about virtually every topic perti-
nent to the outdoors,
from deer hunting to
waterfowl. Member-
ship has grown by al-
most10,000duringthe
last three years while
the only advertising is
in the form of bumper
stickers that are
passed out for free.
Not bad for a site
that began as simply a
clearinghouse of hunt-
ing rules and regula-
tions with less a few
hundred members.
The current owner
of HuntingPA.com a
companynamedHunt-
ingpa LLC -- has own-
ed it for the last four
years. Theres stability
now, said Morgan,
who is the sales/oper-
ations manager for the
site, and that has only
helped it grow.
The name has be-
come more house-
hold, Morgan said.
Guys find it very easy
to just hop online and
get the information
they need. Instead of driving
hundreds of miles to check out a
Game Lands, they can go to the
forum and talk to other mem-
bers who live near there.
Members of the site include
not only hunters, but Wildlife
Conservation Officers who can
accurately answer just about
any question posted, Morgan
said.
The site has alsobrought hun-
ters together to share favorite
spots.
Ive hunted farms and prop-
erties of people I met on the
site, Morgan said. Were like a
family. When a member incurs a
tragedy, well send a donation
and flowers. Were close.
Ironically, Morgan attributes
the spike in popularity to an
event that he said caused a lot of
hunters to give up the sport
herd reduction.
When deer numbers began to
decrease in the state and license
sales dropped, Morgan said it
left a large contingent of hunters
who wanted to save the sport.
It caused us all to get closer,
he said.
And despite being from all
ends of the state, HuntingPA-
.com kept them close.
The site has no employees
and is run by unpaid volunteers,
suchas Morgan, whose full-time
job is a network specialist. All
revenue from advertising goes
back toward operating the site
and to purchase prizes for nu-
merous contests.
With nearly 30,000 members,
more than 70 forums and mess-
age boards that are active 24/7,
Morganadmits maintainingand
operating the site does come
with its challenges.
Space tops the list.
HuntingPA.comhas hadtoin-
crease its bandwidth six times
to accommodate rising
membership and de-
mand, Morgan said.
Because the site is
family-oriented and
doesnt tolerate foul lan-
guage, threats or per-
sonal attacks, modera-
tors are needed around
the clock.
We run a tight ship,
Morgan said.
Another challenge is
simply keeping up with
all the requests made by
members. Usually, that
means adding forum
topics that are request-
ed by members.
Morgan said he is
working on adding a fo-
rum for metal detector
enthusiasts, and other
forums dealing with an-
tler restrictions and
quality deer manage-
ment have been added
as those topics grew in
popularity.
If a couple dozen
members want a forum,
well create it, he said.
The goal is to keep our
members happy.
After11years, Morgansaidits
fairly predictable which forums
will become popular through-
out the year. Much of it is dictat-
ed by the season, he said.
June and July are big months
for the Trail CamForum, water-
fowl and archery take over in
September and October, preda-
tor forums start to hop in No-
vember, which is also the same
time when deer hunting forums
begin to dominate all the way to
January.
After a Game Commissionor
Fish and Boat Commission
meeting, the Rules and Regula-
tions Forum really hops, Mor-
gan said. We know every
month which forum will ex-
plode.
As far as changes to the site,
Morgan said there isnt any-
thing significant planned for the
future. With a growing member-
ship that is active around the
clock, there really isnt a need
for change, he said.
Just keep the lights on and
keep helping members, Mor-
gan said. The only thing that
limits us is bandwidth, and
weve increased it whenever we
needed to.

Sales/operations
manager of
HuntingPA.com
Chris Higdon grew tired of the
national hunting magazines and
television shows which he believes
portray the sport inaccurately.
Sure, all hunters live for the
chance to harvest a monster buck,
but thats not always the reality, he
said.
We dont all get to the hunt the
ideal location with the perfect
scenario, Higdon said.
Thats what prompted Higdon to
create a website a place full of
stories and advice that hunters in
northeastern Pennsylvania can
relate to. The name Deerstew,
reflects the intent of the website
which includes a little bit of every-
thing when it comes to the out-
doors.
I want to appeal to the guy who
has to work for it. My whole in-
spiration for this is for it to be
something unique to our area, he
said. Something with more in-
sight into hunting and fishing in
northeastern Pennsylvania.
I want to stay away from the
antler envy that these television
shows have created.
Higdons website, www.deer-
stew.com, launched last month
and he has stayed busy creating
content with his stories and pho-
tos, along with those from other
hunters and anglers in the region.
His brother-in-law, John Strazinski,
has also been instrumental in
designing the site.
Its a place, he said, where hun-
ters and anglers can share stories,
tips and anything else related to
the outdoors in northeastern Penn-
sylvania.
For Higdon, the website is also a
chance to pursue his love of out-
door writing.
I always kept a journal growing
up and wrote about all my hunting
experiences, he said. It trans-
formed into writing hunting sto-
ries and its a hobby that I really
love.
Although Higdon doesnt know
how many people visited the web-
site since it launched, he will be
able to monitor visits in the future.
That, he said, will be a key to-
ward selling advertising if Higdon
chooses to take the site in that
direction.
For right now, Higdon said he
will continue with his job as res-
taurant manager of the Chill Grill
in Wilkes-Barre. But if the site
grows to the point where he can
do it full-time, Higdon said it
would be a dream.
Right now I dont know how
many people will want to read an
online magazine like this, he said.
I dont know anyone who has
done this locally its a shot in the
dark.
Higdon plans to add more con-
tent to the website related to fly
fishing and product reviews. Hes
also hoping fellow hunters and
anglers will submit their stories or
photos to share with others.
New content will be added bi-
weekly, Higdon said, but that
could increase if enough people
visit the site.
Its an online magazine for
anyone with a passion for the
outdoors in Pennsylvania. Hunting
is a big component, but there are
also things for anyone interested in
rural life, Higdon said.
Telling tales and serving local hunters, anglers and those
who enjoy the outdoors on the World Wide Web

NEW YORK The NHL said
there will be no bargaining with
the players union Saturday, leav-
ing nothing to stop a lockout.
This will be the leagues fourth
work stoppage since 1992, and
this latest action adds to a land-
scape of labor unrest across
American professional sports.
The lockout will be the third to
hit a major sports league in 18
months, following ones in the
NFL and the NBA.
NHL deputy commissioner
Bill Daly told The Associated
Press in an email that the sides
have spoken by telephone, but
there was no formal bargaining
before the midnight deadline. He
had conferred with players asso-
ciation special counsel Steve
Fehr, the brother of NHLPAexec-
utive director DonaldFehr, to see
if there would be face-to-face
talks.
This was the third straight day
the sides spoke by phone but
avoided the negotiating table.
It now appears unlikely that
training camps will open next
week. The regular season had
been scheduled to begin Oct. 11,
but that is also in peril.
Theres a lot of stuff that still
needs to be sorted out. Hopefully
things will heat up in the next
couple of weeks, said forward
Milan Lucic, who agreed to a
three-year extension with the
Boston Bruins on Saturday that
will pay himan average of $6 mil-
lion annually. All you can do is
stay optimistic and stay positive
and hope that a deal will get
done.
While this lockout might not
wipe out the whole season as the
one in 2004-05 did, a good chunk
of games could be lost without
productive talks soon.
In jeopardy are a couple of key
items on the calendar: the New
Years Day outdoor Winter Clas-
sic at 115,000-seat Michigan Sta-
dium between the host Detroit
Red Wings and the Toronto Ma-
pleLeafs; and, theJan. 27All-Star
game hosted by the Columbus
Blue Jackets, one of the leagues
struggling small-market teams.
Commissioner Gary Bettman
has insisted that hockey manage-
ment is determined to come
away with economic gains, even
if it forces another work stop-
page. Damage is certain to occur
almost immediately, and there is
no telling how jilted fans and
sponsors will react to another
shutdown.
Players are concerned manage-
ment hasnt addressed the
leagues financial problems by re-
examining the teams revenue-
sharing formula. Having made
several bigconcessions toreacha
deal in 2005, the union doesnt
think it should have to make
more this time after record finan-
cial growth.
N AT I O N A L H O C K E Y L E A G U E
League is prepared to shut down
The AHL, which includes the
WBS Pens, will be top North
American loop during lockout.

As we head into
our last ofcial
week of summer,
it looks like we
will have more
fall-like weather
across the
region. This
morning will feel
cold with lows
starting at 46
degrees. Mostly
sunny skies will
stay with us the
whole day with a
light breeze.
Monday will start
partly cloudy.
Toward the after-
noon, clouds will
increase as a
cold front
approaches. For
Tuesday, some
places may see
an inch of rain.
Clearing will
begin
Wednesday
morning, but the
high will only
reach 68. Dry
conditions will
stay with us up
until Saturday.
Rain will move in
during the day
on Saturday and
we will have a
high of 70.

more realistic than whats been
promoted in the past. But is it realistic?
According to Fidelity, someone retir-
ing at age 67 the full retirement age
for those born in 1960 or later should
have savings equal to eight times their
final salary in order to maintain their
lifestyle through an estimated life ex-
pectancy of 92. So a person making
$50,000 needs $400,000 in savings that
presumably would be supplemented by
Social Security to get a combined in-
come equal to about 85 percent of their
pre-retirement salary.
That sounds about right; taking the
often recommended 4-5 percent per
year from savings plus Social Security
should get them there.
This is quite a contrast to ads that
have people carting their million-dollar
numbers around the neighborhood.
Its also helpful that Fidelity lays out
something of a timeline for saving,
suggesting the goal by age 35 is one
times salary, by 40 its two times and so
on. A big number can be less intimi-
dating when its broken down like that.
This is an ideal, of course, and the
experience of Fidelitys own customer
base raises the question how many
people will reach the goal. The mutual
fund company said its 12 million retire-
ment account holders had an average
balance of $73,000 at the end of June,
so it sounds like they have some catch-
ing up to do.
While the advice is sound and the
goal refreshingly modest after decades
of scare tactics from investment
houses, achieving it will be a challenge
for investors made skittish by stock
markets that plummet one year and
soar the next. Anyone scared off by the
roller coaster ride is being punished by
the current miniscule interest rates on
savings, a consequence of the Feds
commitment to keep borrowing costs
down to stimulate the economy. That
hasnt worked very well, while devas-
tating CD yields and other conserva-
tive instruments favored by the retired
and near-retired.
Fidelity acknowledges the difficulty
of making money on investments by
lowering projected annual portfolio
growth to 5.5 percent, a far cry from
the 8-10 percent touted a decade ago.
But it also assumes this theoretical
savers employer provides a 3 percent
401(k) match to go along with the
suggested personal savings of 12 per-
cent of earnings through most of his or
her career.
Thats the best of possible worlds;
according to a recent report fewer than
half of American private sector workers
have a 401(k) plan at work and even
those that do typically contribute far
less than these recommendations.
And its pretty tough to save when
youre raising a family that is bombard-
ed by messages to buy, buy, buy and
not just from advertisers; some econo-
mists proclaim that more consumer
spending will make us all richer.
Im no financial planner, but if I was
Id talk as much about outgo as income.
Delaying or avoiding unnecessary
purchases and diverting the money
into savings pays dividends later, and if
thrifty habits carry over into retirement
that number can be coaxed within
easier reach.

EXPORT WORKSHOP
DALLAS -- Last year, Ron Johnson
left one of the most celebrated posts
in business to accept one of the har-
dest jobs in retail.
The brains behind the boldly differ-
ent Apple store, Johnson left Cuperti-
no, Calif., for Plano, Texas, to rein-
vent the struggling J.C. Penney Co.
He didnt need the job. In his early
50s, he was reported-
ly worth hundreds of
millions, thanks to
stock options driven
by Apples success.
But at Apple, the
Stanford- and Har-
vard-educated John-
son operated in ob-
scurity under the shadow of larger-
than-life founder Steve Jobs. At Pen-
ney, Johnson would run his own
show, win or lose.
Before Apple, he was at Target,
where he earned credit for distin-
guishing the discounter fromits com-
petitors by working with designers to
create cheap but chic goods. That ex-
perience was why the design-centric
Jobs hired him to launch Apples re-
tail stores.
Jobs, who died last year of cancer,
is still a role model for Johnson, who
has been candid about Jobs influence
on his leadership style.
In late January, Johnson, a Minne-
sota native who has spent much of his
adult life in California, unveiled his
vision for the new Penney. He stood
on a New York stage with a blue sky
backdrop behind him. It was reminis-
cent of one of Jobs famous product
unveilings. And from that day, John-
son wasted no time beginning to
transform the 110-year-old company.
He built his team. He fired thou-
sands of store and headquarters staff-

ers. He dropped brands and began sign-
ing on others. Store remodeling began.
Johnsons vision is to transform Pen-
ney from a traditional department
store to a specialty store made up of a
collection of 100 shops and category
boutiques along streets with a town
square in the middle.
He has likened it to a mall inside a
mall. Wide aisles create the streets,
where there are places to sit, check
email or have a snack.
He radically simplified pricing. And
he introduced technology that will al-
lowfor mobile checkouts and even self-
checkout with the use of RFID tags on
merchandise.
Early results have been ugly. Sales
declined 20 percent through the most
recent quarter, which ended in July. In-
ternet sales fell more than30 percent in
the second quarter.
Critics have been vocal. Some call
him delusional.
Johnson likes talking about his vi-
sion for Penney, but not about himself.
He decided not to be interviewed for
this report.
When syndicated comic strip Dilbert
featured Penneys pricing message
woes on Aug. 24, chief merchant Liz
Sweney didnt hesitate to walk into
Johnsons office with it. He laughed,
she said.
Some staffers say Johnson has his
own brand of sunshine and they trust
in his will to succeed, his positive atti-
tude and his honesty.
He has an approachable personality
down to his casual dress code, which
revolves around blue jeans and sweat-
ers in winter.
Hes persuasive when he talks about
his vision for Penney. Even after the
disappointing second-quarter report in
August, he drove the stock price up
while talking with media and analysts
about the future.
Johnson actively uses the team he
put together from both inside and out
of Penney. Chief Operating Officer Mi-
chael Kramer worked with him at Ap-
ple and has joked that his wife protest-
ed about how fast he said yes when
Johnsoncalled. Chief talent officer Dan
Walker was also at Apple with Johnson.
Johnson is the kind of leader who
will admit mistakes and make adjust-
ments along the way.
In mid-June, he fired Michael Fran-
cis, whom he had handpicked last fall
to be Penneys president. The swift
move took Wall Street by surprise, and
some speculated that the new strategy
was faltering.
He had left the marketing largely
to Francis. The fact that it hasnt res-
onated (meant) I had to get involved,
he said at the time.
It was another lesson fromJobs, who
told him CEOs have to act like a but-
terfly and float in where the company
needs help and really do the work.
Johnson has publicly described his
business philosophies, writing last No-
vember in Harvard Business Review
and in interviews.
The world moves by innovators,
and innovators have to have the cour-
age to imagine something that hasnt
been done before and the conviction to
see it through, he said in July on
CNBC.

FAIRWAY CHEVROLET COMPLETES RENOVATION

F
airway Chevrolet, North Church Street, Hazle Township, has completed a year-long renovation project
that includes a new exterior faade with updated signage, a bright showroom featuring a customer greet-
ing station and a lounge offering a Starbucks coffee station, flat screen television and free wireless internet
access. Weve looked at the customer experience from all viewpoints and the facility updates weve made
cater to our customers needs to provide the best dealership experience, said Jim Corazza, dealer principal.
A grand opening celebration for the renovations that cost more than $1 million is scheduled for Thursday,
from 5-7p.m.
after another false start, Canadian
sales are running $1.5 million to $2
million, he said.
Were doing tremendous amounts
of business in Canada, he said, even
though so far its only in the western
provinces.
Faced with a sluggish domestic
economy, the maker of Mia Bella prod-
ucts is developing markets outside U.S.
borders, where the companys premi-
um line of candles, makeup and bath
and body products is unique. South
Korea is one of the new markets, and
Scocozzo credits the trade adviser for
that country with linking him up with
a distributor who is introducing Mia
Bella into department stores there.
Right now we have about $65,000
worth of candles over there for a first
order, he said.
The advisors help can be as simple
as joining a conference call to act as
interpreter in negotiations. He also
conveys requests from potential
buyers, such as one to place a label
where its easily seen. They want ev-
erything that says Made in the U.S.A.,
Scocozzo said.
Getting started in South Korea was
easy, he said, because the United
States has a trade agreement there,
which also minimizes duties. Other
countries present more obstacles; a
test shipment to Brazil that included
makeup was held in customs for two
months as authorities determined
whether the ingredients could be im-
ported. They could, and now the part-
ner there, an Israeli citizen, may take
the line to Israel.
I want the business because my
(U.S.) business slowed down and he
had to lay off some staff, Scocozzo
said. I dont care if I make 25 cents a
candle as long as it keeps people work-
ing.

hour, fromwhat weve seen in our hir-

manager Alex Fried said.
Part of the companys appeal to

fits package it offers. Entry-level man-

Knowing that there are many,
many retirees in the area that have
beenabletonot onlysupport our main
goal here at the plant but also provide
for their families andmake impacts on
the community is good, Sims said.
We like to hear the success stories of
folks that are in a fortunate position
because of having a long career here.
Technology and automation
While Procter and Gamble has re-
maineda stable presence inthe region
since its founding in 1966, the nature
of the work employees perform has
changed dramatically over the years.
The company makes diapers and
paper products soldunder theBounty,
Charmin, Luvs and Pampers brand
names in two separate manufacturing
facilities at the plant.
Packaging those products was once
a much more labor-intensive process,
requiring more employees to perform
tasks that are now mostly automated,
according to MartinDe Rome, manag-
er of the Mehoopany Baby Care plant
where diapers are manufactured.
The technology complexity of the
line is much higher, and furthermore,
the automation, De Rome said. We
usedtohave inthe past a lot more peo-
ple doingmanual tasks; takingdiapers
being produced and putting theminto
small box like a carton, taking the car-
ton and putting this into a big box and
taping. So all these activities because
of the speed have been fully automat-
ed.
But automation hasnt led to down-
sizing of the plant, De Rome said, be-
cause Procter &Gamble has beenable
to increase both its production num-
bers and market share.
Todays production-line employees
spend their workday fine-tuning the
automatedproductionlines withcom-
puter quality-control equipment,
maintaining the equipment and cus-
tomizing it to make a wider variety of
products.
New work skills
Because of the technical nature of
modern manufacturing, Sims said the
company now seeks employees with
two-year degrees intechnology or pre-
vious manufacturing experience. The
company also employs engineers to
manage lines and develop new prod-
ucts and production equipment.
The company has also made efforts
to improve its energy efficiency, car-
bon footprint and waste output. Nat-
ural gas extracted on the property by
Citrus Energy now supplies the com-
panywith100percent of gas usedinits
production, and by next year will be
supplying all of the energy the plant
uses. It has also installed energy-effi-
cient lighting, whichproduces savings
in the millions of dollars annually
when spread over the 90 acres of in-
door space at the plant.
Located next to the Susquehanna
River, the plant treats all of its indus-
trial wastewater andsewage onsite be-
fore returning it to the river, and has
made progress in reducing its landfill
footprint.
According to De Rome, 92 percent
of the solid waste produced by the
plant is recycled and used in the pro-
duction of other products, and only 1
percent ends up in landfills. The re-
mainder is burned to produce power
at a plant in Lancaster.
Fried said the plant is working to-
ward becoming a zero-landfill facility.

Title: Senior portfolio manager at
Seix Investment Advisors and
co-manager of the RidgeWorth
High Income fund
What he suggests: High-yield
bonds can deliver solid returns
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
Brian Nold
High-yield bonds have been
some of the best investments this
year. They are issued by companies
with low credit ratings and offer
higher yields than other bonds in
exchange for the risk. Brian Nold
says strong returns can continue,
but perhaps not as big as this years.
He is a manager of the RidgeWorth
High Income fund (STHTX), which
has returned 12.9 percent in 2012
through Thursday.
The average yield on high-yield
bonds just fell below 6.5 percent
for the first time. Can you still call
them high yield?
Thats the question. At what level
do you say this isnt high yield? In
some peoples minds, that may
have been 7 percent, and we blew
through 7 percent. But there is an
argument that could be made that
it will go even lower: Treasury rates
are absolutely low, and the Fed is
pretty committed to keeping them
low. Right now, the difference in
yields between high-yield bonds and
Treasurys are at historical averages.
So thats one reason you could
argue that the spread between the
two could go tighter. And we have a
very low default rate in the market,
about 2 percent, and it will probably
stay in that area.
Why do you think defaults will
stay so low?
Defaults were at 1 percent temporar-
ily, but now theyre at 2 percent. The
historical average is over 4 percent.
Companies have paid down debt
and are generating strong cash
flow. Since 2008, companies have
focused on shoring up their balance
sheets. Theyre either sitting on
cash, or they are doing conservative
things with it.
What about the weak economy?
Were kind of grinding along with
tepid growth, say 2 percent. That is
actually pretty good for a high-yield
company because most of their
balance sheets arent predicated
on having to grow into them. The
market really doesnt need robust
growth to perform well.
Are you surprised by how strong
high-yield bonds have done this
year?
I think returns are already ahead
of where I would have anticipated
for the full year. We were kind of
at high single-digits expectations,
and now were at 12 percent. Thats
been driven by a drop in Treasury
yields, a tighter spread between
yields on Treasurys and high-yield
bonds, and you have the coupon
payments, and youve had a benign
default environment.
Its not too late to get in?
You still are collecting a 6.3, 6.5
percent yield. High yield is kind
of in a sweet spot between the
low, low yields on Treasurys and
investment-grade bonds and the
perceived volatility of the equity
market.
But we shouldnt be expecting
another 12 percent over the next
year.
Mathematically, its difficult to get
there, yes. I think most people have
realistic expectations: Theyre not
trying to get double-digit returns.

InsiderQ&A
AP
The Dows chips are down
The Dow is this years loser.
Its trailing the performance of the other major
market indexes this year. The Dow Jones industrial
average also trails the pack since March 9, 2009
the markets lowest point after the 2008 financial
crisis.
The 30 blue chip stocks in the index are intended
to broadly represent the U.S. stock market and, by
extension, the U.S. economy. And the economic
recovery has been weak.
The economy didnt take off when the recession
ended in June 2009. Growth has never
been slower in the three
years following an economic
downturn. After a Labor
Department report showed
employers added fewer than
100,000 jobs last month,
pressure for the Federal
Reserve to act began to rise.
On Thursday the Fed
announced a third round of bond purchases
intended to lower long-term interest rates to spur
borrowing and spending.
Since the market hit bottom, the performance of
the large-cap stocks in the Dow has trailed that of
the tech-heavy Nasdaq and the small-cap Russell
2000 index, both up 149 percent. Small-cap stocks
are among the first to rise at the start of an economic
recovery because they are more nimble operation-
ally and generally invest in their growth
as a recovery gains momentum.
Still, its hard to fault how far
the Dow has come. The index
closed above 13,500 Thursday,
which is within 625 points of its
all-time high set in October
2007. The broad market
Standard & Poors 500 index
closed at 1460, which is 7
percent shy of its all-time high
set the same month.

Wondering which stocks
will benefit from the Federal
Reserves latest attempt to
boost the economy? Check
to see which ones did well
in the past.
This screen from Gold-
man Sachs shows which
stocks have beaten their in-
dustry each of the last five
times the Fed announced
or extended a bond-buying
program. That includes the
first two quantitative easing
programs and Operation
Twist, which swapped
short-term debt for long-
term bonds. Goldman
Sachs looked at how stocks
performed relative to their
industry in the two weeks
leading into each an-
nouncement, as well as the
six weeks following.
SanDisk (SNDK), for ex-
ample, surged 48 percent
around the announcement
of the Feds first quantita-
tive easing program in
2008. That compares with a
9 percent gain for other
technology stocks in the
S&P 500 index over the
same time.
The analysts found that
cheap stocks - those with
low prices relative to their
earnings have been the
most consistent beneficia-
ries.

Yields jump with stimulus
Treasury yields rose after the Federal Reserve
launched its latest round of stimulus for the
economy. The yield on the 10-year Treasury
climbed above 1.8 percent after ending the prior
week at 1.67 percent. When yields rise, rates on
various consumer loans often follow. The average
rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage was 3.55 percent
last week, close to its record low of 3.49 percent.

Clean Up With Clorox
If youre looking for a blue-chip
dividend-paying stock, consider
Clorox (NYSE: CLX), recently
yielding 3.5 percent. With brands
such as Pine-Sol, S.O.S., Tilex,
Green Works, Fresh Step, Scoop
Away, Glad, Brita, Hidden Valley,
Burts Bees, Kingsford and Liquid-
Plumr, its readying to celebrate
its 100th year, and its prospects for
growth are looking as fresh as ever.
The company, which has four
operating segments cleaning,
household, lifestyle and interna-
tional fits the bill as a Peter
Lynch buy what you know
candidate because it has easily
recognizable products and an easy-
to-understand business model. It
can provide downside protection
for your portfolio because of the
inelastic prices on many of its prod-
ucts. These products are necessary,
too. No matter what the economy is
doing, youll probably still apply lip
balm, clean your kitchen, change
your cats litter, unclog drains and
occasionally grill some food.
Its mixture of well-known brands,
an easily understood business
model and strong pricing power
continues to drive Cloroxs innova-
tion and growth. The companys
sales volume has been growing,
too, as has its dividend, which has
been raised for 35 straight years.
Clorox is likely to be a success-
ful company for another 100 years.
Its stock is not quite a bargain
now, so perhaps keep an eye on
it, waiting for a temporary pull-
back. (The Motley Fool owns
shares of Clorox.)

Competition Matters
One of my earliest losers was
LeapFrog Enterprises, with its
electronic learning tablet. I figured
that parents love their kids and will
shower them with the best educa-
tional toys. Lesson learned: As with
kiddie clothes, most parents are not
that fussy about brands of toys. And
with technology-based toys such
as the LeapPad, there wasnt much
sustainable competitive advantage.
Fisher-Price soon came out with
a rival product and LeapFrog had
to discount heavily. The results
were predictable: Profit margins
fell and earnings shrank. Les-
son No. 2: Rave reviews are not
enough. F.E., Singapore
The Fool Responds: LeapFrog
was first to market with its electronic
learning device, but that rarely guar-
antees success. Deep-pocketed com-
petitors could and did come
up with similar products.
Bigger companies also tend to
enjoy advantages such as economies
of scale and large, established distri-
bution channels. Its great to find a
company with a new and compelling
product, but you need to be confi-
dent in its ability to compete well.
LeapFrog has survived and is grow-
ing, but its stock, recently around
$11 per share, is well below its 2003
high near $40.

Shrink That Loss
Q
On my next tax return, can
I deduct from my income a
big loss I incurred this year from a
stock sale? S.W., Dothan, Ala.
A
If you have any capital gains
from stock sales, youll first
offset them with your loss. Any
loss beyond that, or all of your loss
if you have no capital gains, can be
deducted from your income up
to $3,000 per year. Sums above
$3,000 can be carried over to the
following year.
If youre in the 25 percent tax
bracket and you deduct $3,000
from your income, youre exclud-
ing that amount from taxation.
So you save 25 percent of $3,000,
or $750. Of course, youve still
lost money. You just decreased
your loss.

rules and strategies that can save
you money. Do so at irs.gov or
fool.com/taxes.
***
Q
How much personal liability
insurance do I need? F.E.,
Keene, N.H.
A
It depends. Figure out how
much you have to lose if
youre sued. Add up the value of
your home, your belongings and
your financial assets. Tack on
some more for the cost of legal
defense. (Insurance companies will
sometimes provide a lawyer.) You
want to be sure that a lawsuit
wont wipe you out or cause
severe financial strain.
If your total assets are
substantial, ask your insurance
company about an umbrella per-
sonal liability policy. Critical for
more and more of us these days,
umbrella policies generally offer
much more liability coverage ($1
million or more) at much lower
premiums than individual policies,
such as homeowners, renters and
automobile insurance.
If you have a lot to lose, you
might want an umbrella policy.

VIEWS S E C T I O N E
timesleader.com
ONE OF the great
fallacies of politics
and life is that one
must be liked to be
effective.
It helps, just as it
helps to be attractive
or athletic or kind.
But lets be honest: Its almost impos-
sible to like candidates once you get to
know them.
Yet we dedicate an awful lot of time
to measuring candidates likability and
forcing them to pretend to be someone
that some political consultant thinks
well admire.
How often during the current season
have we heard that Republican presi-
dential nominee Mitt Romney just isnt
likable? Sure, hes smart, successful, a
good family man, a thoroughly decent
guy, but we just dont like him all that
much.
A few days ago, a Reuters/Ipsos poll
was released with this headline: Oba-
ma gets high marks on likability, weak
on economy.
Well, that clears things up. The econ-
omy is tanking, but hes a nice guy
more likable than Romney by 50 per-
cent to 30 percent, according to the
poll. Forty-one percent of respondents
said they believe Obama understands
people like me. Only 28 percent said
the same about Romney.
The same poll also found that 75
percent of respondents believe the
economy is on the wrong track, com-
pared to 17 percent who think its doing
all right.
Who are these people?
This ridiculous matrix for assessing
a candidates qualifications for office is
the inevitable offspring of the cultural
coupling of narcissism and attention
deficit disorder, otherwise defined as
an inability to think for more than two
minutes about anything more compli-
cated than oneself.
Thus, like me might be the two
most dangerous words in the American
lexicon. Like me, please has become
the operative prerogative of campaigns,
essentially forcing politicians to pander
so that we can dislike them even more.
Of all the pandering we despise
whether to minorities, single mothers,
or Bikers for Biden the most de-
spicable is pandering to the poor. Ah,
yes, weve all been there: Walking miles
in the snow with tattered shoes, driv-
ing rusted-out cars and fishing furni-
ture from Dumpsters.
These last two notches on the totem
pole of been there, done that were
submitted by Michelle Obama during
her convention speech by way of etch-
ing a sketch of her and Baracks pre-
millionaire lives. Didnt we all drive
crummy cars (if we had one)? And
didnt we all cruise the neighborhood
at night looking for discarded tables
and couches?
Similarly, Ann Romney invoked her
early married days when she and Mitt
used an ironing board for a dining
room table. In trying to neutralize the
impression that the Romneys were
born rich and a little too lucky, Ann
took a tour of Wales, where her grand-
father had been a coal miner.
All these reminiscences were aimed,
of course, at being likable, as though
we need our leaders to have been poor
or to have struggled in some pedestri-
an way. Anyone who has taken a breath
has struggled, if not always financially.
As Ann Romney told me in an inter-
view not long ago, We couldnt be
doing this if we werent successful.
Now theres an honest statement.
While were at it, lets defer to Joan
Didions observation that its not as
though weve all been gazing down
600 years of rolled lawns. She was
referring to the fact that, with rare
exceptions, most of us are only a gener-
ation or two away from the kind of
struggles no one wishes to revisit. My
own maternal grandparents grew most
of what they ate and sometimes it
wasnt much. My paternal grandmoth-
er was raised in a convent because her
parents couldnt afford to feed their
11th child.
These facts make me no more qual-
ified for public office or more likable
than the other fact that I adopted a
discarded blind poodle. Then again ...

Good leaders

See LIKEABLE, Page 2E
WE ARE gathered here
today to discuss two
recent controversies
about same-sex mar-
riage. One comes from
the world of pigskin,
the other from the
world of chicken fat.
You are surely familiar with the latter.
It unfolded a few weeks ago over com-
ments by Dan Cathy, president of Chick-
fil-A. In interviews with the Biblical Re-
corder newspaper and radio host Ken
Coleman, he confirmed his companys
opposition to same-sex marriage. Guilty
as charged, he told the paper.
Cathys comments kicked off one of
those only-in-America firestorms. Gay
rights groups denounced the fast-food
chain. Conservatives responded with a
Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, which
reportedly drove the company to record
sales. Gay rights activists held a kiss-in
that was less successful. The mayors of
San Francisco, Chicago and Boston pro-
nounced Chick-fil-A unwelcome in their
towns. Conservative pundits noted,
correctly, that an elected official who
seeks to punish an unpopular opinion
tramples the First Amendment. The Jim
Henson Co. withdrew the Muppets from
promotional deals with the restaurant
chain.
And, oh yeah, some idiot carrying a
bag filled with Chick-fil-A sandwiches
walked into the Washington offices of the
conservative Family Research Council
where he shot and wounded a guard. I
dont like your politics, he reportedly
said.
Thats a lot of furor over one mans
opinion. And you have to wonder why
Dan Cathys views were news. Chick-fil-
As conservative Christian orientation has
been known for years it supports
groups such as the FRC and even closes
on Sundays. So Cathys comments, ob-
jectionable as they are to supporters of
marriage equality, did not really tell us
anything new.
Which brings us to pigskin. It seems
one Emmett C. Burns Jr., a Maryland
state lawmaker, recently wrote Steve
Bisciotti, owner of the NFLs Baltimore
Ravens, insisting that he inhibit one of
his players, Brendon Ayanbadejo, who
has been working in support of gay mar-
riage. The Ravens refused, and Burns
letter brought him a ton of condemna-
tion, most notably from another player,
Chris Kluwe of the Minnesota Vikings,
who penned a profane, yet cogent reply
online.
For what its worth, if the Ravens want-
ed to punish Ayanbadejo, they theoret-
ically could. Sports leagues have broad
latitude to police behavior deemed detri-
mental to the game. John Rocker was
banished from baseball for 14 days in
2000 for remarks offensive to gay people,
foreigners and minorities. Kobe Bryant
was fined $100,000 in 2011 for using an
anti-gay slur.
But the NFL has taken no such action
here. To the contrary, Ayanbadejo says he
has been overwhelmed by support from
his teammates and other players.
Think about that: the NFL is a temple
of testosterone, a shrine to manly men
doing manly things and as such, you
would expect it to be ground zero of
heebie-jeebies over all things gay. Appar-
ently, it is not.
Apologies to Sam Cooke, then, but a
change has come. What else can you
conclude when even young conservatives
such as Meghan McCain now disavow
conservatisms opposition to marriage
equality? Or when you consider that in
1995, only 27 percent of us supported it
and now half of us do?
This is not to say the battle is won. It
is not.
Still, things being as they are, one finds
it difficult to worry overmuch about a
bunch of people who think buying chick-
en sandwiches can forestall what seems
increasingly inevitable. Every revolution
has its dead-enders who bring up the
rear, fighting for the lost cause.
But the trajectory of this particular
revolution seems clear. So the headline
here is not the old news that Dan Cathy
opposes this human right, but the pleas-
ant surprise that Brendon Ayanbadejo
does not.

HARPSBURG, Md. From as far away as Minnesota, Colorado and Ohio they
came, more than 30 members of the Bloss and Mitchell families who converged
on the hallowed Civil War fighting grounds of rural Maryland. John McKnight
Bloss, now 81, had just parked his RV at a campground when he tried to sum up
what this gathering of his clan was about. Hes been researching his namesake
great-grandfather, who was wounded four times during Civil War battles, including the
epic fight alongmeanderingAntietamCreek150years agoandhe wantedthe younger
generation to understand the sacrifices that were made.
Robert Mitchell Menuet
spoke proudly of Barton
Mitchell, his ancestor who
served alongside John Bloss
in the 27th Indiana Volun-
teer Infantry and suffered a
life-shortening wound at
Antietam one of the
23,000 casualties that made
the battle on Sept. 17, 1862,
the single bloodiest day in
U.S. history. But some-
thing more particular drew
the descendants to Mary-
land.
They cheered the open-
ing last month of an exhibit
in nearby Frederick show-
casing a simple action their
forebears took that helped
change the course of the war
and with it, perhaps, the
course of Americas history
as one nation, indivisible.
The exhibits centerpiece
was a two-page document
something that has his
fingerprints on it, said
Mitchells great-great-grandson.
Its a handwrittencopy of Gen. Robert E. Lees secret
Special Orders No. 191, detailing the Southern com-
manders audacious plans for an invasion of enemy ter-
ritory that would propel the Confederates to victory.
Carelessly left behind as Lees army marched north,
the copy was spotted in a field by the Indianans, and
Lees name jumped out as Mitchell and Bloss read it.
Whenthey passedtheir stunningfindupthe chainof
command, Lees counterpart, the famously cautious
Union Gen. George McClellan, exclaimed, Now I
know what to do!
Four days later came the cataclysmic clash along the
Antietam near Sharpsburg
what James McPher-
son, the eminent Civil War
historian, has called ar-
guably ... THE event of the
war.
Pondering the one-in-a-
million opportunity that
the Indiana infantrymen
seized, the Princeton pro-
fessor said he understood
their family members ex-
citement.
They can take pride in
what they did, he said in
an interview, but also
marvel at the accidental
nature of it.
Americans north and

south had endured a year
and a half of brutal Civil
War.
By September 1862, the
weariness and worry of its
ups and downs showed in
soldiers troubled letters
home, in newspapers jit-
tery overreactions to each development, in the hag-
gard face of Abraham Lincoln.
After a promising spring when Union soldiers and
sailors had a series of successes, major reversals in the
summer crushed Northern morale. An offensive by
McClellan nearly reached the gates of the Confederate
capital of Richmond, but stalled. Lee drove the federals
back. When the rebels then thrashed a large Union ar-
my at Manassas, Va., despair and panic engulfed Wash-
ington, D.C., just 20 miles away.

history and mark a crucial pivot point in the war.

More to the point: What if the
current president were not born
of a Kenyan student and a white
girl from Kansas? What if his
father had been a governor and
head of an auto manufacturing
company? Would he be less
likable?
We are the sum of our genes
and experiences, to be sure, and
some of us are more likable than
others for a variety of reasons.
But being like me or like
you qualifies us only as good
dinner partners.
Which is not nothing, as long-
married couples will attest.

The Union cause is doomed,
a newspaper warned flatly, and a
visitor to the anguished Lincoln
reportedthe president felt ready
to hang himself.
Nor were battlefield setbacks
and ineffective military leader-
ship the only concerns weighing
on the presidents mind.
Lincoln knew that European
powers were closely monitoring
the war. Anaval blockade had cut
into trade between the Souths
cotton suppliers and the British
textile industry, costing many
jobs there. Both London and Pa-
ris were openly considering
mediationto endthe war andrec-
ognition of the Confederacy. At
home, witha midtermvote loom-
ing, Lincoln faced a restive elec-
torate. If Peace Democrats
could win the U.S. House, calls
wouldgrowlouder tolet the Con-
federacygo, toabandonthefailed
ideal of union. Straining to be
heard, meanwhile, were aboli-
tionists urgingLincolntofight on
and demanding that the
Souths enslaved millions be
freed.
They didnt know that Lincoln
had already settled this question
in his mind. Back in July, he had
drafted a preliminary emancipa-
tion proclamation but kept it to
himself until he met with cabinet
members. Their advice? Dont is-
sue the proclamation until you
cangiveit tothecountrysupport-
ed by military success, Secreta-
ry of State William Seward said.
So, like European intervention
and the elections outcome, the
enormous question of emancipa-
tion would wait to be answered
along with the very future of
the United States as a nation.
And the answer would only
come on a battlefield.
A few colonial-style buildings

surrounded by well-kept cro-
pland mark the historic Best
Farm outside Frederick. A few
weeks ago, visitors ignored a
misty rain to explore where Lee
had set up temporary headquar-
ters.
A drawn-out war, Lee knew, fa-
vored the better-supplied and
more populous North, and so he
hoped a thrust directly into the
Union, threatening its cities,
would cap the Souths latest vic-
tories.
Never averse to risk, Lee made
a fateful decision while camped
at the farm(nowpart of Monoca-
cy National Battlefield, host of
the lost orders exhibit): He
would divide his army into four
parts. While portions of the Con-
federate force would move deep-
er into Maryland, others would
capture the federal garrison at
Harpers Ferry (nowWest Virgin-
ia), and then all would reunite to
advance toward Pennsylvania.
He detailed the bold plan in
Special Orders 191 and had co-
pies distributed to commanders.
After reading the top-secret or-
der, one recipient sewed his copy
into his coat lining, one burned
his, and Gen. James Longstreet
wadded his up and chewed it like
plugs of tobacco.
But, almost incredibly, when
the army marched from Freder-
ick to carry out the order, some-
thing freakish happened: One
copy was somehow dropped.
Tucked in an envelope, which
also contained a few cigars, the
two pages fell in a field under a
locust tree where soon afterward
the Union army, slowly shadow-
ing the invaders, moved in. The
27th Indiana was part of that ar-
my, and Sgt. John Bloss picks up
the story in a letter home:
Corporal Mitchell was very
fortunate at Frederick. He found
General Lees plan of attack on
Md and what each division of his
army was to do. I was with him
when he found it and read it first.
I seen its importance and took it
to the Col. He immediately took
it to General Gordon, he said it
was worth a Mint of Money &
sent it to General McClellan.
George McClellan was a fasci-
nating, confounding figure. His
skill in organizing and preparing
troops was what made Lincoln
elevate him to command, even
though the president had long
been frustrated by another defin-
ingtrait of LittleMac his par-
alyzing deliberateness and tend-
ency to grossly exaggerate the
forces he faced. But now, receiv-
ing the Confederate command-
ers order electrified McClellan.
With his larger force, his plan
was to strike the widely separat-
ed parts of the Southern army,
defeating them one by one. Un-
sympathetic historians, of whom
there are many, say McClellan
failed to exploit his windfall,
againthroughdelay. Inanyevent,
Union forces did pick up their
pace, which surprised Lee. The
federals clashed with Confeder-
ate units that Lee had sent into
rugged passes on South Moun-
tain, which leads to what would
become the Antietambattlefield;
the Northern forces prevailed,
but the Southerners resistance
bought Lee time just enough
to re-unify his army.
And the two sides dug in for a
showdown at Sharpsburg.
Dawn along Antietam Creek

today only makes the unspoiled
countryside more picturesque
and welcoming. Its a scene pho-
tographed many times by Dave
Maher, a volunteer battlefield
guide drawn here for years from
his home in Pennsylvania.
Striding past a battlefield land-
mark the little whitewashed
church of the Dunkers, ironically
a pacifist sect he paused to
conjure the shrieking shells and
rebel yells that filled the air when
combat commenced nearby at
first light on Sept. 17, 1862.
Hellish fighting would persist
until darkness: at the soon rav-
aged church and adjacent woods,
at a stone bridge over Antietam
Creek that became a shooting
gallery, in a head-high cornfield
where bullets and cannister shot
flew so thick that one survivor
said it looked afterward as if the
stalks had been cut to the ground
with a knife.
The 12th Massachusetts re-
giment lost 67 percent killed and
wounded, the 1st Texas Infantry,
82 percent.
In the midst of this, attending
endless ranks of hideously
wounded men, was Clara Barton,
the Union nurse who would
found the Red Cross. One casual-
ty begged for a drink, and she re-
called, I stooped to give it, and
having raised him with my right
hand, was holding the cup to his
lips with my left, when I felt a
sudden twitch of the loose sleeve
of my dress (and) the poor fellow
sprang from my hands and fell
back quivering, in the agonies of
death.
The fighting raged on and on
with McClellan ordering seri-
al assaults and Lee shifting parts
of his smaller force to meet each
thrust. The sun seemed almost
to go backwards, one tormented
combatant observed, and it ap-
peared as if night would never
come.
Mercifully, the sun did set at
last and yet when it rose on
Sept. 18, both sides remained on
the field. In this stalemate, every-
one expected renewed fighting,
but neither side launcheda major
attack. Then, during the night of
the 18th, Lees army pulled back
across the nearby Potomac into
Virginia.
Unionists hailed the retreat
GREAT VICTORY, a headline
exulted even though critics
faulted McClellan for not pursu-
ing and finishing off the rebels.
They would fight on for more
than two years.
Meanwhile, around shaken
Sharpsburg, barns and churches
became hospitals for the legions
of wounded, while burial details
took up their monumental task.
Corpses pitifully strewing the
fighting ground became the
prime subject for photographers
sent by MatthewBrady, who, in a
first for war coverage, exhibited
the images at his gallery in New
York.
Before that, people had only
seen those heroic portraits of
men in battle, said Maher, the
guide, referring to engravings
that illustrated popular journals.
Some worried that Bradys show
might inflame antiwar senti-
ment, but instead the images of
sacrifice seemed to stiffen re-
solve. People saw how horrific
this is and said, We cant stop
this. Andthat beganhere at Anti-
etam, Maher said.
Five days after the guns went
silent at Antietam, on Sept. 22,
Lincoln announced his prelimi-
nary Emancipation Proclama-
tion.
In doing so, he redefined the
war from one to restore the
Union into one to destroy the old
Union and build a new one
purged of human bondage, as
McPherson, the historian, wrote
in Crossroads of Freedom: Anti-
etam.
The NewYorkTribune saidthe
decree marks not only an era in
the progress of the nation, but an
epoch in the history of the
world.
The world soon received the
news of the battles outcome and
its consequences.
In London, where Parliament
had been poised to press an end
to the American war that would
recognize side-by-side nations
across the Atlantic, the prime
minister, Viscount Palmerston,
nowdemurred: We must contin-
ue merely to be onlookers.
A British newspaper termed
the Emancipation Proclamation
an act only second in courage
andprobable results tothe Decla-
ration of Independence.
At home, when the midterm
congressional elections were
held just weeks later, a sweep by
peace Democrats, which some
had predicted before the battle,
didnt materialize; Lincolns Re-
publicans held both houses of
Congress.
Its easy to see inevitability in

events as consequential as the
Antietam struggle. But many
whove studied it, fromparticipa-
nts to scholars generations later,
dwell on the razors edge of
chance or fate or providence on
which this event teetered.
Interestingly, Lincoln told his
cabinet duringthe unsettleddays
back in July that hed made a pri-
vate vow to read the outcome of
the next battle, for or against the
North, as an indication of divine
will on the question of emancipa-
tion. God, he concluded, had de-
cided this question in favor of the
slaves.
Maj. Walter Taylor, an aide to
Lee, alsoperceiveda divine hand,
but in a different place. He called
the lost order a turning point and
concluded, It looks as if the good
Lord had ordained that we
should not succeed.
Looking back, Lee himself
said, Had the Lost Dispatch not
been lost, and had McClellan
continued his cautious policy for
two or three days longer, I would
have had all my troops concen-
trated on the Maryland side,
stragglers up, men rested and in-
tended then to attack McClellan,
hoping the best results from
(the) state of my troops and
those of the enemy.
Today, some who promote the
notion of American exceptional-
ism point to times when some-
thing unexplainable drops into
the nations affairs, redirecting
events away from the brink.
Two writers who produced de-
tailed what if scenarios imagin-
ing how history might have pro-
ceeded if Special Orders 191 had
not been lost were asked about
that notion.
Harry Turtledove wrote How
Few Remain, an alternative-his-
tory novel. In it, a rebel rather
than a yank happens upon the
dropped order, Lees army pro-
ceeds through Maryland, and
there is no battle of Antietam. A
later fight, in a spot of Lees
choosing in Pennsylvania, brings
a victory that establishes a Con-
federate nation.
In an authors note, Turtledove
says, Had those cigars and that
order not been lost ... the world
would be a different place today.
And in an email interview, he
adds, Bismarck is supposed to
have said something like, God
loves small children, drunkards,
and the United States of Ameri-
ca. We are very lucky that the
landmass between Canada and
Mexico didnt break apart into
two countries ...
It was not a novelist but a histo-
rian, McPherson, who wrote a
chapter titled, If the Lost Order
Hadnt Been Lost, for a might-
have-been compilation edited by
Robert Cowley called What Ifs
of American History.
In McPhersons scenario, Lees
order isnt lost at all: Enhanced
security in enemy territory pre-
vents that.
Again, Lee brings battle in
Pennsylvania at Gettysburg,
but with a Confederate victory
this time. It ends with Lincoln ac-
cepting foreign mediation and
telling his cabinet in a choked
voice: Gentlemen, the United
States no longer exists as one na-
tion, indivisible.
But what about the exception-
alism question in this case? Is
there something spooky about
the almost unimaginable losing
and finding of those two penciled
pages?
There is something a little
spooky about that. AndIve never
known how to put my feelings
about that, the historian said.

Editorial
None of the people involved
were thinking about getting up
for church Sunday morning.
Bill Bednar
The 93-year-old Plymouth resident reflected on a
barroom shooting incident in the borough early last
Sunday during which one person was killed and two others critically
wounded.
THE FUNNY thing about
writing a book is that
everyone asks you,
Whens it being publish-
ed? and then its publish-
ed and you go on tour
telling people its publish-
ed and next thing you know, everyone is
sick of you.
If I already have exceeded that point, my
sincere apologies, even though its been
only about two weeks since the new book
(called The Time Keeper) came out. But
before I thankfully fall off the publicity
wagon, I do want to say why I chose the
theme of this novel.
Because, books aside, I believe this is a
preeminent issue of our lives.
Everyone wants more time.
Few of us appreciate it.
Think about your average day. It likely
begins with an alarm clock. Then the radio
tells you the time. You slip on your watch.
You turn on your cell phone. The morning
TV has the time on the screen. Your car
dashboard has a clock. You arrive at work
either early or late.
And then the hour-counting begins.
No one has enough time. Everyone
wants to be more efficient. Time flies.
Times a wasting. Twitter and Facebook are
like espresso beans to our communication.
Dont waste time. Time fades away.
Yet for all our increased efficiency, no
one is satisfied, and everyone keeps trying
to live longer (presumably so that they can
text more). We chase time; we never catch
it.
I certainly have lived this way. I now
regret much of it. I am trying, in my mid-
dle years, to undo the pattern. When you
lose loved ones, when your family mem-
bers grow sick and feeble, you cant help
but wonder what you are doing with your
time. And why we spend so many days
counting the hours instead of making the
hours count.
In my book research, I tried to learn
when telling time actually began. Most
feel it was somewhere between 3000 and
4000 BC. No one person gets credit for
being the first the way Thomas Edison
gets the light bulb or Guglielmo Marconi
gets the wireless.
But somebody did it. Somebody started
counting the years. And once we started
counting them, we started counting them
down.
And everything changed.
In The Time Keeper, I imagined the
first person to ever measure time, a young,
curious boy who puts a stick in the sand
and marks its shadow in the sun. He be-
comes the mythical Father Time, and is
banished to a cave as penance for his cre-
ation. When he returns to Earth, in our
time, he must convince a man who wants
to freeze himself to avoid death that this is
not the way life is supposed to unfold.
There is a reason God limits our days,
he explains.
What is the reason?
To make each one precious.
And this point often escapes us. We want
to live forever, but if we did, nothing would
mater. Wed never have to decide between
things. Its the limit to our days that forces
us to chose how we will spend the hours
and often determines a good life from a sad
one.
I learned recently about the drowning
death of a friends child. The boy was not
yet 3 years old. It was unspeakably hor-
rible.
And yet the emotion that child has
evoked the sympathy, the love, the re-
newed dedication to family prove that his
brief time was not wasted.
I also spoke recently to a retiring auto
dealer named Howard Cooper, who decid-
ed, after 47 successful years in business in
Ann Arbor, to reward his employees with
$1,000 for every year they worked. With 89
employees, some who had been there dec-
ades, you can imagine the bill. Yet for all of
them, time paid off handsomely. And
Cooper, 83, showed true appreciation for
his abundant years.
Theres an old expression, Life is what
happens while youre busy making plans.
As the ink formally dries on a new book,
Im hoping it leads its writer to do less of
the planning and more of the living.
We all want more time, but do we really appreciate it?

COMMENTARY
M I T C H A L B O M
FORTY DAYS ago Gene
Stilp challenged incumbent
Republican Congressman
Lou Barletta to a series of
nine debates.
Stilp, the Democratic
nominee for Congress in
the 11th Congressional District, suggests
debates be held throughout the gerry lou-
mandered district that now covers nine
counties, stretching from Wyoming County
and the Back Mountain region of Luzerne
County southwest along a narrow corridor
to within a stones throw of the Maryland
line.
ONLY 50 DAYS remain until voters in the
11th Congressional District and those in the
50 states make their way to the polls on Nov.
6 to freely elect the president of the United
States and their representatives to the 113th
Congress.
IN17 DAYS President Barack Obama will
meet former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Rom-
ney in their first of three presidential de-
bates. The forums were announced on Oct.
31, 2011 by the Commission on Presidential
Debates, a nonprofit corporation established
in 1987, and no presidential candidate would
dare evade them.
Yet, in response to Stilps challenge weve
not heard BOO from Lou. Why would Barlet-
ta be hesitant to debate Stilp?
The 11th District heretofore anchored
firmly in Northeastern Pennsylvania (since
pre-1940) was dramatically dissected this
year, shedding Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and
Pittston to add as many Republicans as
possible in a cynical attempt to protect the
otherwise vulnerable Barletta (See: The
Wall Street Journal, April 11, 2012).
Our once compact and very influential
11th Congressional District encompassing
much of NEPA is no more.
See for yourself: www.govtrack.us/con-
gress/members/PA/11.
In a debate, Stilp would probably make
that clear.
Barletta also supported the budget plan of
U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (Mitt Romneys running
mate) that eviscerates Medicare, Americas
health insurance plan for those 65 and older,
and replaces it with an inadequate voucher
for future recipients to carry hat-in-hand to
private insurance companies in an attempt
to purchase some coverage.
Stilp would likely make that clear as well.
Crystal.
Earlier this year, Barletta also voted for a
defense appropriation bill that would ad-
versely affect funding for the Tobyhanna
Army Depot, the largest employer in Barlet-
tas district and in all of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania.
Barletta said his vote on the defense bill
was an error. No kidding. Worse, however, it
demonstrates Barletta is asleep at the switch
and was not monitoring this important legis-
lation from its inception through devel-
opment. It is what a representative must do.
Stilp also might point that out. Repeated-
ly.
Stilp supports the Affordable Care Act
(Obamacare) that provides coverage for
pre-existing conditions, allowing young
adults to remain on their parents insurance
plans, closing the doughnut hole for se-
niors and preventing a terrible illness from
bankrupting American families.
Incredibly, Barletta says, From day one, I
have stood for full repeal of Obamacare.
Lou Barletta is a graduate of Hazleton
High School and a former Hazleton city
council member, businessman and mayor.
A native of Luzerne County, Gene Stilp
graduated from St. Nicholas High School
and Kings College in Wilkes-Barre before
earning his law degree from the George
Mason School of Law in Arlington, Va.
Eager to debate, Stilp resides in Middle
Paxton Township, outside Harrisburg in
Dauphin County, where he also is a volun-
teer firefighter, emergency medical tech-
nician and a well-known taxpayer activist.
In July 2010, candidate Barletta proposed
five debates with his opponent, U.S. Rep.
Paul Kanjorski. Now the incumbent con-
gressman, Barletta seems to be hoping he
can duck the Stilp challenge. Given the
record, I can understand why Barletta might
be nervous about debating Stilp.
Our newspapers, television stations, The
League of Women Voters and PBS stations
up and down the 11th Congressional District
have a civic responsibility to arrange three
televised debates. Its their duty.
They must prepare the venues, invite the
candidates and, like the Commission on
Presidential Debates, dare them not to show.
Barletta has a duty to constituents to debate Stilp

QUOTE OF THE DAY
W
HEN President
Nixon signed the
Clean Air Act in
1970, polluters
said the cost of compliance
would be devastating. Yet 42
years later the nation has
reaped both health and eco-
nomic benefits from the act
and from the improvements
made to it in 1990.
The Environmental Protec-
tion Agency says the land-
mark laws first 20 years pre-
vented 205,000 premature
deaths, 672,000 cases of bron-
chitis, 21,000 cases of heart
disease and18millionchildre-
spiratory illnesses. Since
1990, lead in the air has drop-
ped by 92 percent and toxic
emissions from industry have
been cut by 1.7 million tons a
year - while the gross domes-
tic product grew by 64 per-
cent.
The nation still burns coal
for electricity, and factory
smokestacks still dot the hori-
zon. In other words, industry
adjusted to the Clean Air Act,
just as it will adjust to Alleghe-
ny Countys first revisionof air
pollution guidelines in 24
years.
Yet some businesses have
objected to the updated coun-
ty code that was produced af-
ter twoyears of discussionand
compromise by the 22-mem-
ber Air Toxics Guidelines
Task Force. In June the panel
of industry, environment and
regulatory representatives
unanimously recommended
that the code be adopted by
the board of health.
By the time the public com-
ment period ended Aug. 13,
the county had received 226
written responses on the pro-
posal. More than 200 favored
the revision, while 13 from
companies and business
groups called for rejection or
delay. Also, last month the
countys Air Quality Citizens
Advisory Committee, five of
whose seven members are in-
dustry attorneys and repre-
sentatives, voted 5-1 with one
abstention against the code.
None of that shouldstopthe
board of health from approv-
ing the plan at its Sept. 19
meeting.

T
HE MIDDLE East is
a big, fractious and
unpredictable place.
The United States
was reminded of that fact last
year, when a democracy
movement came out of no-
where to shake the founda-
tions of governments across
the region. Some nasty new
evidence emerged this week
when violence erupted at
three U.S. diplomatic offices
and left four Americans dead
in Libya.
The violence, which coinci-
ded with the 11th anniversary
of the 9/11 attacks, drew fuel
from an anti-Islamic video
made in the United States
andwas fannedby Muslimex-
tremist groups seeking to un-
dermine more secular lead-
ers. Mobs attacked U.S. em-
bassies in Egypt and Yemen,
and a well-armed faction car-
ried out a military assault on
a consulate in Libya.
All this might not have hap-
pened under the iron rule of
Egypts Hosni Mubarak or Li-
byas Moammar Gadhafi,
both of whom were toppled
last year. The attacks are no
reason to mourn the passing
of either dictator, but they
make it clear that events in
the Middle East are largely
beyond our control. In the
long run, the transition to de-
mocracy should be a net gain
for American interests as well
as human rights. But it could
take some grim detours.
The priorities now are to
upgrade security wherever
American personnel are sta-
tioned, to bring the Libyan
killers to justice and to let the
Cairo government know it
cant abuse American inter-
ests with impunity. If they
havent done so already, Pres-
ident Obama and Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clin-
ton need to informMorsi that
unless he disavows such
criminality and acts to pre-
vent its recurrence, he cant
expect the $1 billion in debt
relief the administration had
been assembling or the $1.3
billion Egypt gets each year
in military aid. The choice is
his.
Considering that the at-
tacks began on the 9/11 anni-
versary, the administration
owes the public an investiga-
tion to determine if the State
Department failed to take
necessary security precau-
tions. But the presidents
handling of the aftermath has
shown commendable re-
straint and resolve.
The coming months and
years will be perilous ones for
a part of the world that is just
beginning to follow the dem-
ocratic shift that has occurred
elsewhere. A bigger role for
ordinary citizens will mean
less certainty for everyone,
including the United States.
The smart policy for Amer-
icans is toaccept that we cant
control everything, reaffirm
our determination to uphold
our interests, and keep a cool
head. Well need it.

Violence in area
begs for response
E
very day the newspaper
and area news broadcasts
report on violent crimes
occurring in Luzerne County.
Shootings, stabbings, robber-
ies and violent assaults seem-
ingly are becoming more
frequent.
In doing a little research, I
found a direct correlation
between unemployment rates
and violent crime. While the
published unemployment in
Luzerne County is 9.9 per-
cent, the real unemployment
rate is between 18 percent and
20 percent. This breeds frus-
tration and stress in workers
who want to work but are
struggling to keep their
homes and lifestyles.
I noted an amazing statistic:
Chicago has the same unem-
ployment figure as Luzerne
County.
In recent weeks the death
toll in Afghanistan reached
2,000; during the same time
period of the war in Afghan-
istan there were more than
5,000 murders in Chicago
2.5 times the rate of those
killed in Afghanistan. Our
soldiers in Afghanistan appar-
ently are safer than people
walking the streets of Chica-
go. Something is wrong with
this picture. This is the city
that President Obama bragged
about being a shining example
for large cities to follow.
Another contributing factor
is the large influx of poor
people from New York City
and Philadelphia. Most of
them are good people, just
trying to find a better home
and environment in which to
live; welfare, food stamps and
rent subsidies go much further
here compared to the big
cities. The problem is the
drug dealers, drug users and
gang members follow these
people to intimidate and take
advantage of the entire pop-
ulation.
Our police departments do
as good a job as possible, but
citizens have to step up and
take responsibility for self-
protection and push the ad-
ministrators of our county and
schools to take action to curb
this violence.

County libraries
have voter forms
W
ould-be voters can get
voter registration forms
at any of the libraries in
Luzerne County thanks to the
efforts of the Hazleton Branch
of the American Association of
University Women.
Addresses for each county
election board are attached to
the form. Registration must be
into the county election board
by Oct. 9.
Free voter ID card informa-
tion also is available.
Unless the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court rules other-
wise, each voter when voting
must produce a state-ap-
proved photo ID, which in-
cludes drivers license (ex-
pired no more than 12
months), current U.S. pass-
port, military ID or a college
ID with expiration date.
If you have none of the
former, a free voter ID card
can be obtained at the Penn-
sylvania Department of Trans-
portations drivers license
centers. If you do not have a
birth certificate with a raised
seal but were born in Penn-
sylvania, you only have to give
your Social Security number
and proof of residency (i.e. a
utility bill in your name) to
obtain a photo ID at the near-
est drivers license center.
The Hazleton Branch of
AAUW, under the direction of
President Karen Graziano and
me, want to make voter regis-
tration accessible for everyone

enjoys parade
O
n behalf of the Bonham
Nursing and Rehabil-
itation Centers adminis-
tration, staff and residents, we
express our sincere gratitude
for the many wonderful peo-
ple in the Shickshinny, Hun-
tington, Hunlock Creek and
Benton areas.
On Aug. 16, our residents
enjoyed a full-sized parade
one that encircled our entire
campus twice. Many groups
and individuals from our facil-
ity and community volun-
teered their time, bringing a
special evening to our resi-
dents.
A special thank-you goes to
the Huntington Fire Police for
traffic control. We also thank
the Hunlock Creek fire and
rescue truck, the Bonnieville
rubber-tired train, the Lem-
onade Girls float, the Girl
Scouts, Knights of Columbus
and those people driving an-
tique tractors, the trike, quad,
gator and monster truck.
Also, a special thank-you
goes to Scott Quinn and the
Northwest High School
marching band, flag twirlers
and cheerleaders for their
wonderful performances. In
addition, thank you to the
neon clown, Cruella and
her Dalmatian, Donald Duck,
the beautiful horse and rider,
our banner carriers and nu-
merous adults with pets,
strollers, etc. Finally, thank
you to the dozens of children
dressed in their various Dis-
ney and princess costumes;
their smiles and excitement
still have our residents talk-
ing!
As you know, nursing home
care recently has been in the
headlines. We realize that
insurance changes, Medicare/
Medicaid changes, federal
guidelines, etc., are affecting
the long-term health care
field. However, we at Bonham
still believe that our seniors
deserve the utmost care in
this season of life.
Just as seasons of the year
change, seasons of our lives
change as well. Helping our
elderly population adjust to
their new season is our mis-
sion. We believe that the joy,
meaning and purpose we offer
our residents provides them
with an environment as near
to home as possible.

cash crunch that every avenue
of the budget must be re-
viewed, a complete defunding
of this program in June 2012 is
unwarranted and without
merit.
Any Wilkes-Barre Area
junior/senior high school
student may join the team,
which is led by attorneys
Kimberly and Ruth Borland,
and based at Meyers High
School. Each student is ex-
posed to a wide array of litera-
ture, politics and philosophy
at events that take place at
regional high schools and
some major universities on
the East Coast. Students also
may qualify for state and na-
tional tournaments. Past and
present team members have
competed in these tourna-
ments, culminating with the
teams co-national champion-
ship in 2008. Further, many
students have received schol-
arships to major universities
as a result of their experiences
with this program. All of this
is at no cost to the students,
which currently stands at 47
members.
The team is supported by a
volunteer coaching staff,
alumni and parent group.
Their time, money, trans-
portation and practice ses-
sions (two a week) are at no
cost to the school district. The
money received from the
school district accounts for
only one-third of the yearly
costs of the teams travel,
lodging and tournament fees.
The remaining two-thirds of
the budget comes from the
annual Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. Tournament held at Meyers
High School each January,
which hosts as many as 400
students from around the
Northeastern United States,
and from private contribu-
tions.
Announcement of the de-
funding for the this valued
program was not released to
the Borlands until seven hours
prior to the board meeting of
Sept. 10. As a result, the
boards chamber was filled to
capacity with students, alum-
ni, coaches, and parents seek-
ing an explanation for the lack
of communication, the reason
for a complete defunding and
a demand for reinstatement of
those funds.
How is it possible that a
school district charged with
educating our children com-
pletely defunds an academic
program of such excellence
and merit? Perhaps all extra-
school activities should be
defunded in the interest of
fairness, including all sports
programs.
It is time for our school
district to fulfill its mission
posted on its website. We
encourage all Wilkes-Barre
Area parents to read that
mission statement and force
the school board to uphold it,
so it does not become an emp-
ty slogan.

V I E W S
THERE ARE
two positions
one can take
regarding the
Iranian nucle-
ar program:
(a) it doesnt
matter, we
can deter them, or (b) it does
matter, we must stop them.
In my view, the first position
that we can contain Iran as
we did the Soviet Union is
totally wrong, a product of
wishful thinking and misread
history. But at least its in-
ternally coherent.
What is incoherent is Presi-
dent Obamas position. He
declares the Iranian program
intolerable I do not have a
policy of containment; I have a
policy to prevent Iran from
obtaining a nuclear weapon
yet stands by as Iran rapidly
approaches nuclearization.
A policy so incoherent, so
knowingly and obviously con-
tradictory, is a declaration of
weakness and passivity. And
this, as security analyst Antho-
ny Cordesman, Mideast expert
James Phillips and others have
argued, can increase the
chance of war. It creates, writes
Cordesman, the same condi-
tions that helped trigger World
War II years of negotiations
and threats, where the threats
failed to be taken seriously
until war became all too real.
This has precipitated the
current U.S.-Israeli crisis,
sharpened by the presidents
rebuff of the Israeli prime min-
isters request for a meeting
during his upcoming U.S. visit.
Ominous new developments;
no Obama response. Alarm
bells going off everywhere;
Obama plays deaf.
The old arguments, old
excuses, old pretensions have
become ridiculous:
(1) Sanctions. The director
of national intelligence testi-
fied to Congress at the begin-
ning of the year that they had
zero effect in slowing the nu-
clear program. Now the In-
ternational Atomic Energy
Agency reports (Aug. 30) that
the Iranian nuclear program,
far from slowing, is actually
accelerating. Iran has doubled
the number of high-speed
centrifuges at Fordow, the
facility outside Qom built into
a mountain to make it impreg-
nable to air attack.
Last week, the IAEA report-
ed Iranian advances in calculat-
ing the explosive power of an
atomic warhead. It noted once
again Irans refusal to allow
inspection of its weapons test-
ing facility at Parchin, and
cited satellite evidence of Ira-
nian attempts to clean up and
hide whats gone on there.
The administrations ritual
response is that it has imposed
the toughest sanctions ever. So
what? Theyre a means, not an
end. And theyve had no effect
on the nuclear program.
(2) Negotiations. The latest,
supposedly last-ditch round of
talks in Istanbul, Baghdad,
then Moscow has completely
collapsed. The West even con-
ceded to Iran the right to en-
rich shattering a decade-long
consensus and six Security
Council resolutions demanding
its cessation.
Irans response? Contemptu-
ous rejection.
Why not? The mullahs have
strung Obama along for more
than three years and still see
no credible threat emanating
from the one country that
could disarm them.
(3) Diplomatic isolation.
The administration boasts
that Iran is becoming increas-
ingly isolated. Really? Only
two weeks ago, 120 nations
showed up in Tehran for a
meeting of the Non-Aligned
Movement against U.S. en-
treaties not to attend. Even the
United Nations secretary-gen-
eral attended after the admin-
istration implored him not to.
Which shows you what
American entreaties are worth
today. And the farcical nature
of Irans alleged isolation.
The Obama policy is in
shambles. Which is why Cor-
desman argues that the only
way to prevent a nuclear Iran
without war is to establish a
credible military threat to
make Iran recalculate and
reconsider. That means U.S.
red lines: deadlines beyond
which Washington will not
allow itself to be strung, as
well as benchmark actions that
would trigger a response, such
as the further hardening of
Irans nuclear facilities to the
point of invulnerability and,
therefore, irreversibility.
Which made all the more
shocking Secretary of State
Hillary Clintons recent dis-
missal of the very notion of any
U.S. red lines. No deadlines.
No bright-line action beyond
which Iran must not go. This is
beyond feckless. The Obama
policy is a double game: a
rhetorical commitment to
stopping Iran, yet real-life
actions that everyone under-
stands will allow Iran to go
nuclear.
Obamas incoherence
puts us at risk of war

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Aimee Dilger
and words by Mark E. Jones
THE Demo-
cratic conven-
tion was a
diverse chorus
of conscience
with a decided-
ly female face
on it, which
was nice to see because female
elected officials in America are
at the lowest numbers since the
1970s.
There were profiles in cour-
age, symbolized in epic fashion
by former U.S. Rep Gabby Gif-
fords reading the Pledge of
Allegiance to close the conven-
tion.
Sister Simone Campbell,
organizer of the Nuns on a
Bus tour in opposition to pro-
posed Republican budget cuts,
speaking only if Democrats
allowed her to affirm her pro-
life position on abortion, said
that we went on the road to
stand with struggling families
and to lift up our Catholic sis-
ters who serve them. Their
work to alleviate suffering
would be seriously harmed by
the Romney-Ryan budget.
Democrats also gave a prime-
time spot to Sandra Fluke, the
Georgetown law student who
was not allowed by Republicans
to testify before Congress and
was called a slut by conserva-
tive radio commentator Rush
Limbaugh for simply saying that
contraception should be covered
by employer health plans.
From Bill Clintons brass to
Michelle Obamas elegance, the
convention was masterfully
orchestrated, a testimony to
Democratic Party Chair Deb-
orah Wasserman Schultz who
hails from my hometown of
six years, Delray Beach, Fla.
Michelle Obama sounded the
Democratic Party theme: When
youve worked hard and done
well, and walked through that
doorway of opportunity, you do
not slam it shut behind you; you
reach back and you give other
folks the same chances that
helped you succeed.
Elizabeth Warren, running for
the U.S. Senate after Repub-
licans in the Senate blocked her
nomination to head the consum-
er protection agency that she
created, talked of economic
morality. Warren is the primary
target of the Koch Brothers and
Wall Street in her race against
Sen. Scott Brown in Massachu-
setts.
People feel like the system is
rigged against them, Warren
said. And heres the painful
part: Theyre right. The system
is rigged. Look around. Oil
companies guzzle down billions
in subsidies. Billionaires pay
lower tax rates than their secre-
taries. Wall Street CEOs the
same ones who wrecked our
economy and destroyed millions
of jobs still strut around Con-
gress, no shame, demanding
favors, and acting like we should
thank them.
Another of the partys strong
women, former Michigan Gov.
Jennifer Mulhern Granholm,
electrified the crowd in a speech
that singled out the number of
jobs that the auto bailout saved
in each state. In Romneys
world cars get the elevators,
she said, and workers get the
shaft.
Former President Bill Clinton
surgically dismembered the
mendacious rhetoric of the
Republican Party in a historic
speech. Dare I say the best of
his life? Of course, if Obama is
re-elected, the odds of Hillary
Clinton becoming the first wom-
an president in 2016 rise sub-
stantially.
Though I often disagree with
Republicans, Bill Clinton said,
I never learned to hate them
the way the far right that now
controls their party seems to
hate President Obama.
And then there was Obama, in
a careful address, who spoke of
the soul of his presidency by
quoting Abraham Lincoln.
While Im proud of what
weve achieved together, said
Obama, Im far more mindful of
my own failings, knowing exact-
ly what Lincoln meant when he
said I have been driven to my
knees many times by the over-
whelming conviction that I had
no place else to go.
And then there was this note
of foreshadowing a full week
before Republican presidential
nominee Mitt Romney disgrace-
fully injected himself into an
ongoing attack on the U.S. em-
bassy in Libya before any facts
had been known: My opponent
and his running mate are new to
foreign policy, said Obama at
the convention. But from all
that weve seen and heard, they
want to take us back to an era of
blustering and blundering that
cost America so dearly.
Because the presidential race
takes up all the oxygen, it is
easy to forget that our govern-
ment is steered mainly by con-
gressional, state and local offi-
cials. At its convention, the
Democratic team put its best
foot forward, featuring female
leadership and portraying itself
as a thoughtful, nuanced party.
Democratic convention had strong female touch

W HAT ROLE will
religion play in the
2012 elections? Ac-
cording to voters, not
a big one.
A recent Pew Re-
search Center poll
revealed that most
Americans are comfortable with what
they know about the candidates faith
and that their votes will have little to
do with the nominees religion. In fact,
a majority of the electorate is signif-
icantly more interested in Mitt Rom-
neys tax returns and gubernatorial
record than in his beliefs.
Two-thirds of those surveyed said
religions influence on the way they
vote is declining, which might explain
how the Republican Party, whose plat-
form in recent years has reflected white
evangelical priorities, could have nomi-
nated a Mormon and a Roman Catholic
to run for the White House. But is the
Romney/Ryan ticket a sign that reli-
gion no longer matters or that religious
identity even on the right is evolv-
ing along post-denominational lines?
Not really.
Galvanized by a born-again Southern
Baptist, a peanut farmer from rural
Georgia, the white evangelical voting
bloc emerged as a key factor in the 1976
election of Democrat Jimmy Carter.
But when Carter proved too liberal for
their tastes, many switched parties to
support Ronald Reagan in 1980.
Reagan, unlike Carter, did not use
the term born again, but Christians
understood that he was raised in a
pious home and had a come-to-Jesus
experience in the late 1960s. More
important, and as his advisers made
sure they knew, his social, economic
and political positions squared with
theirs and were justified along the same
religious lines.
The Hollywood hero was a die-hard
anti-communist and proponent of a
free-market economy who believed
those values reflected Gods plan for
America. Even as the religious right
complained that Reagan wasnt doing
enough to end abortion and return
prayer to public schools, they applaud-
ed his tough stance against the Krem-
lin, unions and welfare queens.
Reagan helped teach conservative
evangelicals to look beyond outward
trappings and plumb a politicians
heart. Over the next 30 years, Repub-
lican candidates, whether Episcopalian,
Methodist or Baptist, came to be
judged more by whether their policies
reflected faith-based principles than by
where and when they went to church.
They were expected to hold pro-life,
pro-prayer and pro-heterosexual family
positions. But more significant, given
American foreign policy and domestic
priorities, they were expected to sup-
port an international presence (once
opposed to communism but now stand-
ing against political Islam), a dimin-
ished federal government and a vigor-
ous free-market economy.
In 2008, a distrust of Mormons on
the part of some Republicans many
evangelicals do not consider Mormons
to be Christian helped derail Rom-
neys candidacy. But this year, with no
viable alternative, evangelicals seem to
have plumbed the mans heart and
made peace with what they found. As
one Orange County, Calif., pastor said
to a reporter: Im for Romney. Its
certainly not because of his religion. Its
more in spite of his religion.
Many other evangelical voters will
overlook Romneys religious label and
focus on the practical applications of
his faith. Like them, Romney opposes
abortion, supports family values and
embraces small government and low
taxes. Similar to Jews, evangelicals vote
against their class interests. Many
well-to-do Jews, steeped in tikkun olam
the notion of repairing the world
through justice and mercy vote Dem-
ocratic. They believe Democrats should
promote social welfare even if it means
higher taxes, curbs on business and
stringent environmental policies. Mid-
dle-class evangelicals, by contrast,
many of whose incomes have suffered
under the ascendancy of free-market
policy, support Republicans. They like
the party that backs the American
trinity: free men, free markets and the
freedom for every citizen to have a
personal relationship with Jesus.
So when polls and pundits pro-
nounce that religion isnt a factor in the
2012 election, dont believe it. Religious
labels might be pass, but the religious
values that inform whos taxed, whats
regulated, how jobs are created and
when or where we help those in need
are more important than ever.

Pa.s voter ID law
itself a fraud
I
never thought that there
would come a time when I
would be embarrassed to
say that I was a resident of
Pennsylvania.
That time has come with
the enforcement of the voter
ID law. In a recent court hear-
ing to overturn the voter ID
law, the spokesperson for the
state could cite no instances of
voter fraud. The Republican
judge then ruled to uphold the
voter ID law. In his six years
as Pennsylvanias attorney
general, Republican Gov. Tom
Corbett did not prosecute a
single case of voter fraud; but,
he signed the voter ID bill.
Statewide, the Republican
members of the House of
Representatives and the Sen-
ate, hiding behind the voter
fraud smokescreen, voted to
support the bill. However, the
cat was let out of the bag by
Republican state Rep. Mike
Turzai, when he boasted vot-
er ID, which is going to allow
Governor Romney to win the
state of Pennsylvania done.
No mention of stopping
voter fraud by Mr. Turzai, just
a shameless, brazen admit-
tance of the true purpose of
the voter ID law.
This law imposes difficul-
ties in obtaining identification
for hundreds of thousands of
Pennsylvania residents. The
voter ID law targets the poor,
the elderly, minorities and
students. What happened to
their protection under the
Voting Rights Act of 1965,
which guarantees the right to
vote to racial, ethnic and mi-
nority citizens?
Whatever happened to
encouraging more and more
people to exercise their right
to vote? Simple. The people
targeted by the voter ID law
do not agree with the agenda
of the voter ID law supporters;
so, lets just make it as difficult
as possible for them to vote,
even if their right to vote is
guaranteed by law. You never
hear the Republican nominees
for president and vice presi-
dent mention what is going on
in Republican-controlled
states in regard to the voter ID
law. Mitt Romney and Paul
Ryan know what is happening,
but they are so intent on win-
ning at all costs, that they are
willing to allow the voting
rights of our citizens to be
trampled.
This is an embarrassment
for the state, a crime against
legal voters nationwide and a
shameful attempt to steal the
presidency.

Find out source
of dental crowns
J
ust when you thought that
health care scandals
couldnt get any sleazier,
this Chinese dental crown
issue surfaces.
Let me get this straight. To
save a few bucks, dentists are
having crowns fabricated in
China, a country notorious for
shabby and sometimes poison-
ous products. The patient is
not told where the crowns are
made and walks away with
dental work that potentially
could become a health issue.
Even clothing must carry a tag
stating where it was made.
Are you telling me that dental
crowns that are cemented in
your mouth are somehow
exempt? How can the FDA
allow this?
Its apparently just another
example of powerful lobbies
writing their own rulebooks.
Another letter writer sug-
gested questioning your den-
tist about this issue prior to
getting any work done. I
would suggest getting the
information in writing. There
might not be laws to discour-
age this practice, but empty
waiting rooms will get the
point across.

MIDDLE SCHOOL MANIA
Author: Dave Webb, a native of the
MountainTopareawhopublishedhis first
book in 1996, when he was a fifth-grade
teacher at St. Jude School in Wright
Township. He also has taught in Virginia
and North Carolina and now resides in
Monroe County.
Publisher: Outskirts Press
Available: Through Amazon.com as an
e-book as well as paperback or at Barnes
& Noble
Suitable for: Readers 8 to 12.
Characters: This is the third in a trilogy

of books about 11-year-old Slinky Inker-
man and friends.
Plot: While adjusting to middle school,
Slinky runs for class president and helps
solve a mystery thats disruptedschool for
weeks.
Q: Howmuchof what youwriteis based

on actual events?
Dave Webb: Id say about half of them
are actual situations as they happened;
some of them are
things I see in my
subconscious that I
just put on paper.
Slinky Inkerman
was the nickname
of my brothers
friend growing up.
Q: So, are the

kids on the cover
students of yours?
DW: Those are
actually some kids
I taught in fourth
grade in Virginia.
Theyre all in their
20s now. I sent
them all a copy of
the book with a lit-
tle note, Nothing
like old childhood
photos coming
back to haunt you.
Q: You were a re-

porter. Howdidyou
get into teaching?
DW: I graduatedwithanEnglishdegree
from Kings College. I got an internship
with the Times Leader and then corre-
sponded for a little while at local papers. I
went back to school to be a teacher. It was
just a calling. Then I thought, well, I work
with kids and was a writer professionally,
so how could I combine the two? Chil-
drens books.
Q: Can you describe Slinky?

DW: Hes just your average kid. Theres
nothing crazy about him, its just that cra-
zy things around him keep happening.
Q: What do youhope kids who readthis

book take out of it?
DW: I want kids to see that things are
going to happen in life but its all in how
you deal with it. Theres also a moral di-
lemma. I want readers toaskthemselves if
Slinky made the right choice.
Q: Do you think kids are straying from

books?
DW: It can be harder to get kids to read
these days, whichis why I dont see this as
selling books but as selling reading. One
of myfavorite quotes is fromBeverlyClea-
ry. Childrenshouldlearnthat readingis a
pleasure and not just something teachers
make you do in school.

For a few weeks this summer while
working my way up and down the Missis-

Fleetwood Mac. At the end of that time, I
was convinced anew of the ever-evolving
genius of a band able to not only reinvent
themselves where others vanished into
obscurity but tocome together amidpres-
sure, heartbreakandmounds of cocaineto
create music that lasts.
The Fleetwood Mac choice wasnt
necessarily out of the blue. Stevie Nicks
recently confirmed a Fleetwood Mac re-
union tour for 2013. Too, this year marks
the 35th anniversary of Rumours, the
1977rockclassic, a recordthat its co-pro-
ducer Ken Caillat docu-
ments in the recently pub-
lished Making Rumours.
And a new tribute al-
bum, Just Tell Me That
You Want Me (Concord)
curated by music supervi-
sor and longtime Wes An-
derson collaborator Ran-
dall Poster, offers Mac re-
interpretations from
across the bands four incarnations. Art-
ists including present-day tastemakers
such as MGMT, Lykke Li, Antony He-
garty and Best Coast, and vets such as
ZZ Tops Billy Gibbons, Marianne Faith-
full and the New Pornographers, tackle
the myriad stylistic gems that can still
pop when they burst from
the radio.
Two founding members
of Fleetwood Mac, drum-
mer Mick Fleetwood and
bassist John McVie, have
guided the band with fluid
power since its birth in En-
gland in1967 while singers,
keyboardist andguitarists
including Peter Green, Bob
Welch (who died earlier this year),
Christine McVie and, since 1975, Lind-
sey BuckinghamandStevie Nicks have
come and gone.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Dress to lead, and dont
be surprised when people
follow. Its not the clothes,
but the way they make you
feel about yourself. You
move differently when you
know you look your best.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Even though sometimes it
might be better to think,
reflect and then act, now
you are more inclined just
to act. Theres intelligence
in your action. Youll get
right to the point.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). For
a few hours of this day,
you will actively live in the
future. Your mental projec-
tions will allow you to try
out different possibilities
to find a good fit. This
future-play will help you
focus your time wisely.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Your brain processes mil-
lions of pieces of informa-
tion every hour youre
awake. Organizing it all is
a challenge made easier
today because youre clear
about your priorities.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
one who says all the right
things may be hiding
behind this mask of appro-
priateness. You may have
the urge to get this person
to drop the act. You may
be deliberately provocative
just to see what happens.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
When the environment
changes, you wont hesi-
tate to adapt. Youll enjoy
the wide variety of charac-
ters you meet today, and
youll find the fast pace
stimulating.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You have a strong idea of
who you are. Those you
meet will get the sense
that you live in a com-
pletely different world
from the one they know,
and its a world they might
like to tour sometime.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Youll be friendly with
everyone you meet, but
you also have a getaway
plan. When you know your
escape route, you can
relax and enjoy where
you are without feeling
trapped.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Youll strive for har-
mony. It can be achieved in
a number of ways. Winning
isnt always victory.
Surrender can be victory,
too and so can losing.
Step back to see the big
picture.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Serendipity is what
happens when you focus
yourself on the things that
make you happy. All of the
energy you put into your
interests and passions
magnetizes them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Youll be reminded about
the importance of simple
kindness. Someones will-
ingness to let you go first
or to help you solve a
problem will be so impact-
ful that you cant help but
pay it forward.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Justice prevails in a
personal way. The food
arrives when youre hun-
gry, and youll get a break
when you need a break.
Bonus: The one you like
likes you just as much.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept.
16). Focus on love. This
will bring about a remark-
able change in every other
area of life. Youll feel rich
and notice connections
and opportunities that
you didnt see before. In
November, whats logical is
not the best choice, so go
with your inklings. January
brings a twist of fate that
sets things in your favor.
Leo and Gemini people
adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 20, 1, 24, 38
and 40.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles,
CA 90069
9/16
DEAR ABBY
Man does not want to
commit to a relationship
Dear Abby:
Im a 41-year-
old divorced
mother of
two and
grandmother
of two. I
own my own business, God
blessed me with my first
home two years ago, and Im
happier than I have been in
years.
Im writing because I have
been seeing a man for about
six months whom I met at
church. We have attended
the same church for about
two years. Gavin has never
been married, has no chil-
dren and doesnt want any.
We have a great time
together. We act like teenag-
ers in love. I know hes not
seeing anyone else because
we spend too much time
together. Gavin calls me four
to five times a day, brings me
lunch at work and takes me
out to eat all the time. He
constantly buys me presents
and helps my daughter out
with money when things get
tight. He has even helped
me financially a few times
and refuses to let me pay
him back. I am falling in love
with him.
My problem? Every time
I try to let Gavin know how
I feel, he tells me not to let
that happen. Its not what he
wants, and he wants me to
stop. He says we are NOT a
couple, and I am free to do
whatever I want to do.
Am I asking too much to
want us to take this rela-
tionship to a new level? He
shows all the signs of being
in love with me by the way
he treats me. His mixed
signals are confusing. Am I
really that naive?
Unsure in Greensboro,
N.C.
Dear Unsure: You are not
naive. Hope springs eternal
in the breast, and you are
only human.
When a man tells you he
wants you to be free and to
do whatever you want to
do, what he really means
is he wants to be free to do
whatever HE wants to do.
As much as Gavin cares for
you, its not enough for him
to make a lifetime commit-
ment. So, if being married is
your goal, recognize that this
honest, but reluctant Prince
Charming is not for you.
Dear Abby: My 24-year-old
daughter, Lisa, informed
me a year ago that she was
engaged. Shes a college
graduate living in another
state and still looking for a
job. Her fiance is a young
Marine who plans to make it
a career.
Lisa was visiting this
weekend and gave us the
wedding date, which is in
three months. She already
has her invitations and
bridesmaids picked out, etc.
As she was leaving, she
broke down and said she had
something to tell me. They
were married six months
ago. She still wants to con-
tinue with her wedding
plans, and have me walk her
down the aisle.
My wife and I are extreme-
ly hurt and angry for having
been lied to all this time.
My question is, should I go
along with this charade? Any
other wisdom to impart?
Lisas Disappointed Dad
Dear Dad: At least your
daughter told you in ad-
vance. I have heard from
parents who didnt learn the
truth until months or years
after the wedding. Feeling
as you do, calmly convey
your thoughts to your daugh-
ter as you have done so
clearly in your letter.
As to any other wisdom
I would offer: As a low-rank-
ing member of the military,
Lisas husband isnt going to
make a lot of money until he
climbs the promotional lad-
der. Their money would be
better invested in other ways
than the wedding of her
dreams. They can reaffirm
their vows later, in a way
that is open, honest and less
expensive.
To My Jewish Readers: At
sundown, Rosh Hashanah,
the Jewish New Year, starts.
This is the beginning of our
time of solemn introspec-
tion. Leshana tova tikat-
evu may each of us be
inscribed in the Book of Life
and enjoy a good year.

ducer Poster (with Gelya Robb)
grewup following the many incar-
nations of Fleetwood Mac, he told
me during a recent phone conver-
sation. He thinks one overlooked
aspect of the group is the depth
within each lineup. On the one
hand, theres so much familiarity,
and yet on the other hand theres
almost so much of it thats really
been shrouded over time.
That familiarity arrived via the
classic roster of Nicks, Bucking-
ham, Fleetwood, JohnMcVie and
his then-wife, Christine McVie,
who created the brilliant triumvi-
rate of the self-titled Fleetwood
Mac (1975), Rumours (1977)
and Tusk in 1979.
But the music stretches back
45 years, when guitarist Green
and Fleetwood left John Mayalls
Bluesbreakers to start their own
band. Soon McVie followed, and
the new group forged a sound
that channeledAmericanelectric
blues through a maturing, post-
British Invasion music exploring
volume. Hear the bands late 60s
work, represented by ZZ Tops
Gibbons on Oh Well, and youll
understand where Led Zeppelin
got early inspiration.
Poster saidthat the Greenperi-
od is often ignored, and believes
that guitarist Greenwas the first
person who took American blues
and filtered it through the British
blues movement, and it came out
rock-n-roll.
After Green departed, McVie
and Fleetwood hired singer/ gui-
tarist Danny Kirwan, later added
Welch to the lineup and released
a fewdecent transitional records.
Within three years, though, both
Welch and Kirwan were out, and
the remaining members hired a
San Francisco duo who went by
the name Buckingham Nicks to
take over on guitar and vocals.
This most fruitful period is
documented in Making Ru-
mours, Caillats version of the
1976 creation of Rumours,
Fleetwood Macs 11th album.
Caillats book unpacks those
destined-to-be classics, Go Your
Own Way, Dont Stop, The
Chain, Dreams, Gold Dust
Woman and others, in ways that
cast light on the often discordant
(and cocaine-, marijuana- and
gin-fueled) process.
Best, and strangest, is
MGMTs nine-minute, album-
closing version of Future
Games, the title track of a Bob
Welch-era album. Its like music
from outer space, really, Poster
said of MGMTs version, and
Macs influence, and it does
speak to howthese songs evolve,
and live on, and are filtered
through another sensibility.

example, in which a wealthy
but wheelchair-bound Parisian
hires a caregiver who brings a
sense of adventure to the dis-
abled mans life.
Its like any good American
buddy movie, Jenkins said.
Its a real crowd-pleaser.
You can expect hilarity in
Robot & Frank, in which a
retired cat burglar faces life
with a humanoid robot, and ro-
mance in Your Sisters Sis-
ter, in which a young man
does more than bond with his
girlfriends sib.
For opulent scenes shot in
the actual palace of Versailles,
look to Farewell, My Queen,
which portrays the final days
of Marie Antoinette. But dont
mistake that movie for The
Queen of Versailles, a docu-
mentary about a modern fam-
ily that loses its wealth during
the recent economic down-
turn.
Other documentaries are
Wild Horse, Wild Ride,
which Jenkins predicts horse-
lovers will find gorgeous,
and the sobering The Invisi-
ble War, which delves into the
problem of rape in the military
and showcases the courage of
those who refuse to stay silent
about it. That should be very
eye-opening, Jenkins said.

hree years ago, a first-time novel-
ist and longtime English teach-
er named Selden Edwards pop-
ped up on bestseller lists with
The Little Book, a time-travel-
ing fantasy that included stops in late-20th
century San Francisco, 1950s NewEngland
and World War II era London, with a great
deal of lingering in fin de sicle Vienna.
Now we have the sequel, The Lost
Prince, and readers who are hoping Ed-
wards will continue with his big ideas
destiny, history, the role of the individual,
undyinglove will not be disappointed. His
characters are terribly earnest and often an-
guished, which may be a turnoff for those
who have not joined the Selden Edwards
universe. The plotlines are complex and
sometimes outlandish. But theres no deny-
ing the sweetness of unshakable faith that
infuses the core of The Lost Prince.
This time, Edwards views the world
through the eyes of Eleanor Weezie Put-
nam, who traveled to Vienna in 1897 in
search of an adventure and found one in the
arms of Wheeler, whomreaders of The Lit-
tle Book know is her grandson. (Its com-
plicated, but not how you might imagine.)
Eleanor leaves Vienna andreturns toBos-
tonwitha handwrittenjournal (Wheelers),
which sets the course of her life and, in
somesense, thecourseof theworldbecause
it was written by a time-traveler who al-
ready knows of the Titanic disaster, the
stock-market crash of 1929 and most of the
history of the 20th century.
She was to mentor Arnauld Esterhazy, a
scholar she first encounters in Vienna, then
brings tothe U.S. toteachat Bostons vener-
able St. Gregorys School for Boys.
The Lost Prince opens in May 1918 as
Eleanor attends a memorial service for Es-
terhazy. She has receivednotice of his death
in Europe toward the end of World War I,
thus upendingoneof thecentral plotlines of
her future life. He was supposedtoreturnto
Boston and St. Gregorys after the war, re-
sume his teaching career and become an
academic hero and mentor to hundreds, in-
cludingEleanors sonandgrandson, Wheel-
er. Eleanor pledges to somehow disprove
his death.
Is it complicated? Yes, but Edwards fans
might suggest that detractors are missing
the point: that for some, unerring faith is
the most liberating force in the world.

IAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, Ontario
Mention Niagara and most travelers think
of the famous falls, which deserve their
reputation as the mother of all tourist at-
tractions. But theres another place with Niagara in
its name just a half-hour drive from the falls that
should be part of any visit to the area: Niagara-on-
the-Lake, a lovely town known for wineries, an an-
nual theater festival and a charming downtown.
And while summer is high
season for visiting the water-
falls, September and October
are among the busiest months
of the year in Niagara-on-the-
Lake. There are more than 30
wineries in Niagara-on-the-
Lake and 80 altogether in the re-
gion, and fall is the season when
visitors can see and experience
the harvest and the pressing of
the grapes.
Visitors also can find locally
grown produce, depending on
whats in season, including
peaches, pears and apples,
along with jams, juices and oth-
er products, for sale in places
such as Kurtz Orchards Coun-
try Market, 16006 Niagara Park-
way, and at a Saturday morning
farmers market, through Oct. 6
at 111 Garrison Village Drive.
Fall also is the last chance to
catch performances at the Shaw
Festival, a popular annual event
that takes place in three thea-
ters in Niagara-on-the-Lake,
staging works by George Ber-
nard Shaw and his contempo-
raries, plus new plays written
about his era (1856-1950). The
season began in May, with pro-
ductions ranging from Rag-
time, through Oct. 14, to Hed-
da Gabler, through Sept. 29.
Noel Cowards Present Laugh-
ter and Bernard Shaws Misal-
liance run through October.
For leaf-peepers, the area has
stunning fall color, usually
peaking in early October, ac-
cording to Janice Thomson, ex-
ecutive director of Niagara-on-
the-Lakes chamber of com-
merce. The towns leafy water-
front areas include both the
Niagara River and Lake Ontario
(the waterfalls flowinto the riv-
er, which flows into the lake).
Niagara Parkway, which follows
the river, offers a spectacular
drive, according to Tina Trus-
zyk, spokeswoman for the Tou-
rism Partnership of Niagara.
There are also cycling routes
along the river and the nearby
Welland Canal. Niagara-on-the-
Lake has a number of bike rental
companies including some like
Zoom Leisure Bike zoomlei-
sure.com that offer guided
bike tours of the wineries.
The Niagara regions wine in-
dustry began only about 35
years ago, when winemakers re-
alized that the areas unique
Great Lakes climate and soil
was well-suited to grape-grow-
ing, especially for cool-climate
grapes used in table wines such
as pinot noir, riesling and char-
donnay.
But the region is best-known
for icewine, a specialty product
made from grapes frozen on the
vine in winter. The frozen
grapes are nearly dehydrated so
the juice is concentrated, which
makes the wine sweeter than ta-
ble wine. Its considered a dess-
ert wine, but it also can be
served with savory and even
spicy entrees.
I bought a bottle of icewine
from the Trius Winery at Hill-
ebrand (1249 Niagara Stone
Road) to take home after tast-
ing it at the Trius Winery Res-
taurant. Served at the end of a
family barbecue, the icewines
rich fruity flavor was enjoyed by
all as an after-dinner treat, pro-
viding a sophisticated palate-
clearing contrast to our casual
meal of hot dogs, burgers and
corn.
Icewines are sold in half-bot-
tles 375 milliliters rather
than 750 and are generally
more expensive than ordinary
table wines, in the $40-$60
range. A popular icewine festiv-
al takes place in the area each
January with tastings, semi-
nars, contests and other events.
Wineries range from smaller
rustic properties such as Ravine
Vineyard to larger estate-style
wineries such as Peller, Inniskil-
lin and Trius. A number of new-
er wineries, such as Southbrook
Vineyards, are focusing on sus-
tainability and agricultural
techniques that have a low im-
pact on the environment. Bus
tours and private guided tours
are available, or you can make
your own itinerary using the
Wine Route Planner at Wine-
CountryOntario.ca.
But the wineries are so well-
signed that you can easily just
drive around and stop when you
see one that looks interesting.
Many of the wineries are along
three major thoroughfares,
Niagara Parkway, Niagara Stone
Road and Lakeshore Road, sur-
rounded by flat, grapevine-cov-
ered fields and crisscrossed by a
numbered grid, with roads
bearing names such as Conces-
sion 7 or Line 5. Concession
roads run north-south. Line
roads run east-west.
Some tasting rooms charge a
small fee; some dont. I was of-
fered complimentary sips at
several winery counters before
making my purchases.
Niagara-on-the-Lake also is
embracing culinary tourism
and was recently named Cana-
das No. 1wine and culinary des-
tination by TripAdvisor. A num-
ber of wineries, such as Peller,
Strewn and Trius, have upscale
onsite restaurants, many of
which use locally sourced prod-
ucts in their menus. Strewn also
is home to a wine-country cook-
ing school.
Forty percent of tourists to
Niagara-on-the-Lake come from
the United States, with Ohio,
Pittsburgh and New York
among its biggest feeder mar-
kets, Thomson said. After agri-
culture, tourism is the second-
biggest industry in this town of
15,400 people, and it has the
lodging to prove it: 1,000 rooms
in B&Bs and 1,000 hotel rooms,
many of them high-end bou-
tique hotels, though there is
one Hilton and a Best Western,
according to Thomson. That
creates a lot of alternatives to
the many brand-name, high-rise
hotels that dominate down-
town Niagara Falls, promising
falls views. The waterfalls are
less than 20 miles (about 30 ki-
lometers) from Niagara-on-the-
Lake, 35 miles (57 kilometers)
from Buffalo, N.Y., and 80 miles
(130 kilometers) from Toronto.
Youll need your passport if
youre crossing the border from
the United States, but you can
get by without Canadian mon-
ey. Most retailers accept credit
cards and U.S. cash, though any
change will be remitted in Cana-
dian currency. The two curren-
cies are nearly at parity, with $1
U.S. equivalent to 97 cents Can-
adian.
If youre planning a visit in
November, for $44.25 (Cana-
dian) you can buy a pass for the
annual Taste of the Season
event, which offers tastings and
food-and-wine pairings at 28
wineries. The pass can be used
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays
throughout November. And if
youre visiting the weekend of
Oct. 8, wish the locals a happy
Thanksgiving. While its Co-
lumbus Day in the States, its
time to give thanks for the har-
vest north of the border in-
cluding all those grapes.

1,204-square-foot home is bright,

right in.
Located at the corner of Huntsville
Rd. and Elizabeth St., not far from
the Back Mountain Library, this
home offers an affordable price,

Updated both inside and out, the list
of renovations includes a new roof,
gutters, exterior paint and new vinyl
front porch railings.
Set on an approximately 40-by-148
corner lot, there is plenty of off-
street parking.
The covered front porch leads into
the 22-by-15 living and dining room
combination. Offering shiny hard-
wood ooring and pale yellow walls,
this room gets plenty of natural light
from a single side window and two
front-facing windows.
The dining area has two side win-
dows of its own along with a double
closet. Open stairs to the right lead
to the second oor.
You are going to love the kitchen. It
starts with cherry cabinets that are
topped by laminate in a convincing
black granite pattern. A stainless
steel sink is set on an angle in a
corner. The topping on the cake is
a series of black appliances that add
to this kitchens sleek look. There is
plenty of room for a breakfast table
in front of a side window. A second
window faces rear, as does a door
that opens to a full covered porch
that spans the back of the home.
Upstairs, the homes full bath offers
a modern tan ceramic tile oor and a
white pedestal sink that accentuates
aqua walls. There is a white tiled tub
and shower surround.
