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

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.

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.

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.
DETROIT
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.
RALEIGH, N.C.
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.

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.
New gas drilling fee in state exceeds projections

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.

We received quite a few

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.

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-
ans.
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-
lage with his wife, Amy, and four
children: Grace, 13; Molly, 11;
Jack, 7; and Brian, 6.
The family of newly installed Wilkes University President Patrick Leahy are, Grace, 13; Molly, 11;
Brian, 5; Jack, 7; and wife, Amy.

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?

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-

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

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.

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

to play, hanging on for a14-12 vic-

Weve got to start developing
the mentality when were up on
teams to stay up and put teams
away, said Crestwood coach

proved to 2-1. We had the oppor-

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.

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).

The Associated Press
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.

NFL SUNDAY
WWW. T I ME S L E ADE R. C OM/ S P ORT S
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

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
PHOENIX Buster Posey
had a two-run home run in the
fifth to help the Giants beat the
Diamondbacks.

over 7 2-3 innings to improve
to 4-1 in his last six starts. Jose
Reyes had three hits and also
drove in a run for Miami. John-
ny Cueto (17-9) suffered his
third straight loss and failed to
last five innings for the second

MINNEAPOLIS Francis-
co Liriano took a no-hitter
into the seventh inning, Paul
Konerko homered and drove
in three runs Saturday, and
the Chicago White Sox stayed
on top of the AL Central with
a 5-3 victory over the Minne-
sota Twins.
The White Sox entered the
day with a one game lead over

Liriano (6-11) was tremen-
dous against his former team,
allowing only a two-out
homer in the seventh to Tre-
vor Plouffe. He walked two,

nine in seven innings.
Samuel Deduno (6-4) strug-

CLEVELAND Anibal
Sanchez took a no-hitter into
the seventh inning and De-
troit beat the Indians despite
losing a run on an appeal play.
Sanchez (3-5) struck out
seven over 6
2
3 innings as De-
troit stayed one game behind
the first place Chicago White
Sox in the AL Central with its
fourth straight win.
Carlos Santana spoiled
Sanchezs no-hit bid with a
two-out triple in the seventh,
but Cleveland was officially

after falling to 16-45 since the
All-Star break. Starter Justin

loss.
Red Sox 3, Blue Jays 2
TORONTO Pedro Ciria-
co drove in the tiebreaking
run with a two-out double in

the ninth. Jarrod Saltalamac-
chia led off with a double

and Saltalamacchia moved to
third on Mike Aviles flyball.
Ciriaco followed with a dou-
ble to left.
Royals 3, Angels 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Ernesto Frieri needed just
four pitches to ruin a spectac-
ular start by Zack Greinke,
giving up two home runs in
the ninth inning as the Kansas
City Royals rallied to hand the
playoff-contending Los An-
geles Angels a stunning 3-2
loss on Saturday night.

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.

FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
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.

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.

Tues.-Fri. 10am-8:30pm Sun. 12-4pm
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.

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

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.

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.

Cork restaurant celebrates anniversary with $5-off meal deals
N
ew retirement savings advice
from Fidelity Investments is
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.

WILKES-BARRE Bob Scocozzo
is so pleased with the help hes gotten
from Pennsylvanias international
trade advisers hes going to treat
them to dinner. The CEO of Mia Bel-
la candle maker Scent-Sations also
hopes to impress the men and wom-
en who pitch Pennsylvania products
in 37 nations across the globe.
After giving them a tour of the Mia
Bella plant on George Avenue in the
citys Parsons section Thursday night,
Scocozzo plans to attend Fridays
Bringing the World to Northeastern
Pennsylvania event to get help ex-
panding the companys export busi-
ness.
Hes already seen the benefits, and
wonders why more local businesses
havent taken advantage of the free
services available through the North-
eastern Pennsylvania Alliance.
The NEPA Alliance has been so
helpful; I cant believe they dont have
300 businesses knocking at their
door, he said. It doesnt cost me
anything to meet with these people.
Perhaps word is getting out; this
years event has attracted commit-
ments from more businesses than last
years 31, and late-comers are wel-
come.
We will help any company who
calls and tells us they want to meet
with the trade advisers, said Mike
Horvath, international business devel-
opment manager at NEPA Alliance.
After a foray into Australia ended
when Scent-Sations partner there ran

DALLAS -- Last year, Ron Johnson

The brains behind the boldly differ-
ent Apple store, Johnson left Cuperti-

He didnt need the job. In his early

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-

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
SUBMITTED PHOTO
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-
ing process and people having long-
term careers here, public relations
manager Alex Fried said.
Part of the companys appeal to
workers maylie inthe salaryandbene-
fits package it offers. Entry-level man-
ufacturing workers start at $15.75 per
hour, and technician salaries are
capped at $31 per hour. P&G, the
worlds largest maker and seller of
consumer products, also offers health

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.

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.)
