EUROPE HANGS
AROUND RYDER CUP
Europe isnt ready to
concede the Ryder Cup,
winning the last two
matches and bringing the
American juggernaut to a
screeching halt.
The Americans still have a
10-6 lead, and need 14

2
points to regain the Ryder
Cup. The largest comeback
in Ryder Cup history was at
Brookline in 1999, when the
U.S. erased a 10-6 deficit
on the final day.

As officials continue tosearch
for clues towhat ledfour teenag-
ers tokill themselves over an
eight-day span, mental health
experts say the answers likely lie
ina complexseries of life events
rather thana single emotional
trauma.
The public has a tendency to
lookfor quick-hit answers, suchas
bullying, a poor report cardor
breakingupwitha boyfriendor
girlfriend, the experts said.
That may make for a good
news bite, but the reality is far
more complex, saidTony Salva-
tore, a suicide crisis counselor
withMontgomery County and
author of the pamphlet, Suicide
Loss: What Schools Should
Know.
Suicide is the third-leading
cause of deathfor people age15 to
24, accordingtothe National
Institute of Mental Health. Ap-
proximately 4,000 teenagers kill

U.S. SUICIDES
There were 36,909 suicides in the United
States in 2009, according to the Centers

Local mental health profes-
sionals are working to re-estab-
lish a psychological autopsy
committee that would investi-
gate suicides in hopes of gain-
ing insight that will aid preven-
tion efforts.
The committee, which will
include representatives from
multiple disciplines, is looking
to carry on work done by a
team10 years ago.
That committee studied
hundreds of coroners reports
dating back to 1992 and con-
ducted interviews with families
in an effort to identify the most
common factors that led per-
sons to kill themselves.
While work was already
under way to restart the com-
mittee, the deaths of five teen-
agers from suicide this year,
including four that occurred
within a recent eight-day span,
have provided an additional
impetus, said Rich Burns,
acting director of the
Committee would

WASHINGTON Barack
Obama is cruising into the presi-
dential debates with momentum
on his side, yet hes still strug-
glingtorevivethepassionandex-
citement that propelled him to
the White House. Mitt Romney is
grasping for his
last, best
chance to re-
boot his cam-
paign after a di-
sastrous Sep-
tember.
The fierce
and deter-
mined compet-
itors in the
tight race have
a specific mis-
sion for the
three debates,
the first of
which is
Wednesday
night in Den-
ver.
Obama, no
longer the fresh
face of 2008,
must convince
skeptical Amer-
icans that he
can accomplish in a second term
what he couldnt in his first, res-
toringthe economy tofull health.
Romney, anxious to keep the
race fromslipping away, needs to
instill confidence that he is a
credible and trusted alternative
to the president, with a better
plan for strengthening the econo-
my.
The burden in many ways is
heavier on Romney, says Wayne
Fields, a professor at Washington
University in St. Louis who spe-
cializes in political rhetoric.
What we see right now is an un-
certainty about whether hes
ready for the job.

In the five years hes
worked building wind tur-
bines, Mike Kelly has faced
plenty of obstacles, but hes
never dealt with challenges
like those presented by his
neighbors near the Me-
hoopany Wind Farm project
in Noxen Township.
Virtually every day they
infiltrate the construction
site, blocking roads and
preventing crews and equip-
ment from passing by.
Theyve also forced the
relocation of several of the
giant wind-producing tur-
bines and the re-routing of
miles of roadways built into
the mountainside to reach
the sites.
Theyve created lots of
headaches, and they arent
even human.
Kelly and fellow employ-
ees are being rattled by
hundreds of rattlesnakes
that inhabit the section of
the mountain where theyre
working.
The issue isnt so much
the threat the venomous
reptiles pose to the work-
ers, but the threat the work-
ers pose to the snakes,
particularly the timber
rattlesnake.
The snake, which is close
to becoming endangered, is
considered a special candi-
date species, which affords
it special protection under
the Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission.

ous snake in Pennsylvania.
Size: These rattlesnakes range in length from
3 to 4
1
2 feet and may weigh up to 2 pounds.
Life Span: The lifespan of the timber rattle-
snake is 22 to 30 years.
Color: This snake varies in coloration, with
bands of color that are different on snakes
found in different regions.
Habitat: The timber rattlesnake is found in
the forested rocky hills of many states
throughout the eastern United States, and
also in swamps.
Food: This rattlesnake eats small mammals,
especially mice, rats, squirrels, and rabbits.
Sometimes it will even kill birds.
Reproduction: Every three or four years in
the early spring, these rattlesnakes mate.
About 10 young are born in late summer or
early fall with the average length of 11-13
inches.
Fun Facts: Although they rarely attack
humans, these rattlesnakes are venomous
and very dangerous.

ing costs associated with the
numerous changes in technol-
ogy and even the costs of old-
fashioned books, Rash said.
We went from card catalogs
to computers, she said. Now
we have to work to provide e-
books, she added.
However, Rash stresses
most children go to the library
to read books.
The event included Tuckers
Tales Puppet Theatres pre-
sentation of The Book-
aneers and Aesops Fables,
Pat Wards Magic Show and
Balloon Animals, storyteller
Mary Baker, and awards pro-
grams and refreshments.
Hanna Chocallo, a 10-year-
old from Wilkes-Barre, won
first prize for her essay on
what she likes most about the
library. She described in her
essay how she really enjoys
the large variety of books and
other media, such as digital
discs.
Jocelyn Chocallo, Hannas
mother, said they attend the
library on a regular basis.
We like the library because
it encourages reading, she
said. If you can read, you can
do anything, she added.
Samantha Ashford won first
prize for her poster drawing.
She created a colorful portrait
of library activities highlight-
ing the reading dogs.
Richard Miller, executive di-
rector of the library, said the
childrens wing has been a
huge success.
The Osterhout was one of
the first libraries in the state
WILKES-BARRE Thirty
years ago the Osterhout Free
Library opened the Ken L. Pol-
lock Childrens Wing to better
facilitate reading and learning
for local kids. On Saturday,
the library celebrated the
wings 30th anniversary with
its Wing Fling.
Local children were treated
to storytelling, games, magi-
cians and other treats, all as a
way to continue the message
of the importance of reading
and learning during the early
years.
Elaine Rash, youth services
coordinator for the library,
was working there when the
wing opened. Since then, she
said, it has provided many val-
uable services to the commu-
nity. Offering a variety of pro-
grams all year, the library tries
to keep learning fresh, fun and
interesting for local children.
One of the biggest challeng-
es since it opened has been
keeping up with the increas-
to have a childrens wing, he
said. Its a very innovative
idea, he added.
Miller lauded the staff at the
library and how they have
strived at the childrens wing
to make reading fun. They en-
courage children to enjoy it as
opposed to taking it on as a
responsibility. He added that
research shows children who
begin reading at an early age
are more likely to succeed in
their future educational pur-
suits.
The staff here is very cre-
ative and they do a lot of ou-
treach, he said.

WACO, Texas Several busi-
nesses in the Central Texas town
of Waco are dealing with a smelly
problem that wont go away: de-
caying cricket carcasses.
A bank, a drugstore and other
businesses have been inundated
with the odorous onslaught of
dead crickets that have been
trappedinside walls andhave col-
lected on sidewalks.
Jani Rodriguez, the branch
manager at Synergy Bank, tells
the Waco Tribune-Herald that
scented products have been un-
able to get rid of the smell. Using
air-scrubbing machines hasnt
worked either.
Fred Huffman, an entomolo-
gist who runs a local pest control
business, says the cricket prob-
lem has been worse this year be-
cause mild winter conditions re-
sulted in the insects appearing
earlier than normal.

CLARKS SUMMIT
Tons of food donated
W
ith food banks and nonprofits
facing record requests for ser-
vices, sourcing and providing pro-
tein is often a challenge. To help
meet the high demands, Smithfield
donated a combined 30,000 pounds
of protein-rich food
to the CEO/Wein-
berg Northeast
Regional Food
Bank.
The donation
took place Friday
at Weis Markets in
Clarks Summit, a
retail partner of
Smithfield and longtime supporter
of the food bank. Smithfield has
primary lines of business including
fresh pork, smoked meats, bacon,
cooked hams and hot dogs.
The Food Bank serves nearly
10,000 different people every week.
A donation of this size makes a
tremendous impact and goes a long
way toward feeding the hungry in
our region, said Gene Brady, exec-
utive director of CEO and the food
bank.
Smithfield is in its third year of
the Helping Hungry Homes tour,
having made more than 100 stops
across the country, said Dennis
Pittman, public affairs director for
Smithfield. In January 2008, Smith-
field established their Helping Hun-
gry Homes initiatives to help
ensure that American families in
need do not go hungry.
The food bank assists community
organizations obtain food for needy
families, in particular children and
the elderly, by collecting donations
of wholesome but unmarketable
food from the food industry and
distributing it to these organiza-
tions. It works to reduce hunger and
promote proper nutrition in addi-
tion to preventing food waste. It
serves Luzerne, Lackawanna, Sus-
quehanna and Wyoming counties.

DKMS Americas organizes donor
drives to raise awareness and
recruit potential bone marrow do-

try. Registration involves a simple
cheek swab and filling out a ques-
tionnaire.
Donor registrations are the best
means of generating a large pool
and eventually identifying matches.

No character in the Sherlock
Holmes canon is too minor to escape
the attention and praise of the Sher-
lock Holmes Societys local chapter.
For 30 years, members of Boss
McGintys Bird Watchers, as the local
chapter of the Holmes Society calls
itself, have lauded all of Holmes cre-
ator Sir Arthur Conan Doyles charac-
ters. On Friday, the toasts rang out
again:
To Mrs. Hudson, that long-suf-
fering landlady who had the worst
tenant in London.
To Mycroft, Holmes older broth-
er and if you can believe it in-
tellectual superior.
To the canines of the canon, espe-
cially Toby, Holmes lop-eared half-
spaniel, half-lurcher.
The Holmes fan club a very
tongue-in-cheek affair has grown
considerably since founders Fred
Sauls, professor of chemistry at Kings
College, and Frank Vacante, a now-
retired accounting professor fromthe
same school, first imagined the club
over dinner at Hottles in Wilkes-Barre
30 years ago.
Close to 40 turned out for Fridays
anniversary celebration, including
many of the original 18 members.
You get together, you have a good
meal, you have a good time, and you
talk a little about Sherlock Holmes
and Victorian times and all that,
Sauls said, adding, none of it is taken
seriously.

mistake threatened to deter those

The boy had come to school with a
multi-tool clipped to his belt. He didnt
thinkof it asaweapon, but theschool did,
and expelled himunder a zero-tolerance
policy for bringing weapons to school.
Sent to an alternative learning center
following his expulsion, the boy told the
panel he only wanted to return to his for-

through the advocacy of Jones and the
rest of his panel was allowed to return to
his former class. He is doing well in his
classes and works part-time at a local li-
brary, Jones said.
The boy is one of nearly 100 juveniles
who have successfully completed Lu-
zerne Countys youth aid panel program
over the past year and a half. The volun-
teer panels offer juveniles age10 to17 ar-
rested for minor offenses the chance to
avoid being charged in court while still
being heldaccountable for their actions.
Each juvenile appearing before the
panel must complete a restitution pro-
gram custom-tailored to their case and
outlined in a contract they must sign.
The juveniles must also keep in regular
contact withapanel member assignedas
their mentor during the 90-day restitu-
tion period. Juveniles who successfully
complete the program will have the re-

BARCELONA, SPAIN
Tornado hits fair, kills 10
A
tornado swept through a fair-
ground in a Spanish town, knock-
ing down a Ferris wheel and injuring
35 people, while the death toll from
flooding in the same southern region
of the country rose to 10, authorities
said Saturday.
Fridays tornado damaged several
rides and cut electricity in the tempo-
rary fair set up in the main square of
Gandia, according to its town hall
website. It said 15 of the injured were
seriously hurt, all of whom were treat-
ed on site.
Local media reported the fair in
Valencia province was closed to the
public at the time of a thunderstorm
and that all the injured were fair work-
ers.
NEW YORK
Ex-NY Times publisher dies
Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, the fourth
publisher of the New York Times, who
made history with his decision to
publish the Pentagon Papers and re-
vived the "Good Gray
Lady" of print jour-
nalism with a radical
redesign that set a
new standard for
newspapers in the
last quarter of the
20th century, has
died. He was 86.
Sulzberger died
Saturday at his home
in Southampton, N.Y., after a long
illness, according to the New York
Times.
Widely known by the nickname
Punch, Sulzberger was publisher of
the Times from1963 to 1992 and
chairman and chief executive of the
parent company from1973 to 1997. He
passed his titles on to his son, Arthur
Ochs Sulzberger Jr., the fourth gener-
ation of his family to head the paper.
LOS ANGELES
Carmageddon II begins
Traffic was light around Los Angeles
hours after the start of Carmageddon
II, and transportation officials were
hoping it stays that way until a bridge
is demolished before the Monday
morning rush hour.
Construction crews began work
early Saturday morning taking down a
portion of the Mulholland Drive
bridge along Interstate 405, one of the
nations busiest freeways. The bridge
and its pillars will eventually be re-
placed so that the freeway can be
widened to include a new carpool
lane.
For weeks Angelenos have been
warned to avoid the 10-mile stretch of
the 405 that will be shuttered through
the Sepulveda Pass on LAs west side
for the entire weekend.
BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND
Protestants march in peace
Thousands of Protestants marched
peacefully through the heart of North-
ern Irelands capital Saturday amid a
heavy security presence.
It was one of Belfasts biggest pa-
rades in years, and police were de-
ployed in large numbers to prevent
street clashes between marchers and
Northern Irelands Catholic minority.
Members of the various Protestant
loyal orders, so-called because
theyre loyal to Great Britain, trooped
down Belfasts streets festooned with
buttons, tassels and other ceremonial
gear.

VATICAN CITY The
popes once-trusted butler
went on trial Saturday for al-
legedly stealing papal docu-
ments and passing themoff to
a journalist in the worst secu-
rity breach of the Vaticans re-
cent history a case that em-
barrassedthe Vaticanandmay
shed further light on the dis-
creet, internal workings of the
papal household.
In its first hearing in the
case, the three-judge Vatican
tribunal threw out some evi-
dence gathered during the in-
vestigationof butler Paolo Ga-
briele, who is charged with ag-
gravated theft. It also decided
to separate Gabrieles trial
from that of his co-defendant,
a computer expert charged
with aiding and abetting the
crime.
Gabriele is accused of tak-
ing the popes correspondenc-
es, photocopying the docu-
ments and handing them to
Italian journalist Gianluigi
Nuzzi, whose book His Holi-
ness: The secret papers of
Pope Benedict XVI, was pub-
lished to great fanfare in May.
Prosecutors have said Ga-
briele confessed to taking the
documents because he want-
ed to expose the evil and cor-
ruption in the church. They
quoted him as saying during
aninterrogationthat he felt in-
spired by the Holy Spirit to in-
form the pope about the
churchs problems and that a
shock, even a media one,
would have been healthy to
bring the church back on the
right track.
Nuzzi on Saturday wished
Gabriele well, tweetingGood
Luck, courageous Paoletto,
werewithyou. Hereferredto
Gabriele by the diminutive
nickname used by the pope
and other members of the pa-
pal household.
The trial inside the intim-
ate, austere courtroom was
the highest-profile case to
come before the Vatican judi-
ciary since the 1929 founding
of the Vatican city state, the
worlds smallest sovereign
state. Media from around the
world converged on St. Peters
Square to cover the case,
which has attracted attention
not so much because of the
content of the documents but
because they were stolenfrom
the popes desk and leaked, al-
legedly by one of Benedicts
closest assistants.

In this photo released by the Vatican paper LOsservatore
Romano, popes butler Paolo Gabriele, right, sits in the
wood-trimmed courtroom of the Vatican tribunal, Saturday. WASHINGTON When last
we saw the chief justice of the
United States on the bench, John
Roberts was joining with the Su-
preme Courts liberals in an un-
likely lineup that upheld Presi-
dent Barack Obamas health care
overhaul.
Progressives applauded Ro-
berts statesmanship. Conserva-
tives uttered
cries of be-
trayal.
Now, the Su-
preme Court is
embarking on a
newtermbegin-
ning Monday
that could be as
consequential
as the last one, with the prospect
for major rulings about affirma-
tive action, gay marriage and vot-
ing rights.
Many people on both the left
andright expect Roberts toreturn
to the fold and side with the con-
servative justices in the new
terms big cases. If theyre right,
the spotlight will be back on Jus-
tice Anthony Kennedy, whose
vote typically is decisive in cases
that otherwise split the courts lib-
erals and conservatives.
But Roberts will be watched
closely, following his health care
vote, for fresh signs that hes be-
coming less ideologically predict-
able.
It may be that the dramatic
health care decision presages
some shift in his tenure as chief
justice, said Steve Shapiro, the
American Civil Liberties Unions
national legal director. Or does it
give himcover to continue to pur-
sue a conservative agenda?
The first piece of evidence
could be in the courts considera-
tion of the University of Texas al-
ready limited use of race to help
fill its incoming freshman classes,
whichcomesbeforethecourt Oct.
10. The outcome could further
limit or even end the use of racial
preferencesincollegeadmissions.
Roberts has expressed con-
tempt for the use of race in draw-
ing legislative districts, calling it
a sordid business, this divvying
us up by race, and in assigning
students to public schools, saying
that the way to stop discrimina-
tion on the basis of race is to stop
discriminating on the basis of
race.
The written arguments submit-
tedbybothsides intheTexas case
leave little doubt that Kennedy,
not Roberts, holdstheprizedvote.
The challengers of the Texas pro-
gramand the university itself cite
Kennedys prior writings on af-
firmative action a combined 50
times.
The court also is expected to
confront gay marriage in some
form. Several cases seek to guar-
antee federal benefits for legally
married same-sex couples.

BEIRUTAfire sparked by
battles between Syrian Presi-
dent Bashar Assads troops and
rebel fighters tore through
Aleppos centuries-old covered
market Saturday, burning
wooden doors and scorching
stone stalls and vaulted pas-
sageways. The souk is one of a
half-dozen renowned cultural
sites in the country that have
become collateral damage in
the civil war.
The damage to one of the
best-preserved old souks in the
Middle East was the worst yet
to a UNESCO World Heritage
site in Syria. Across the coun-
try, looters have broken into a
historic castle, stolen artifacts
from museums and damaged
ruins in the ancient city of
Palmyra, antiquities officials
and Syrian experts say.
The Aleppo market, a major
tourist attraction with its nar-
rowstone alleys and stores sell-
ingperfume, fabrics andspices,
had been the site of occasional
gun battles and shelling for
weeks. But amateur video post-
ed Saturday showed wall-to-
wall flames engulfing wooden
doors as burning debris fell
away from the storefronts. Ac-
tivists said hundreds of shops
were affected.
Its a big loss and a tragedy
that the old city has now been
affected, Kishore Rao, direc-
tor of UNESCOs World Heri-
tage Center, said by telephone
from Paris.
Most of the other sites recog-
nized as heritage sites by UN-
ESCO, the global cultural agen-
cy, are also believedto have suf-
fered damage during the 18-
month battle to oust Assad,
Rao said. The ancient center of
AleppoSyrias largest city
has been hit the hardest, he
said.
The fire in the souk erupted
late Friday and was still burn-
ing Saturday, following fierce
fighting between regime
troops and rebels trying to
drive pro-Assad fighters out of
the city of 3 million.

WEST BRANCH, Mich. A mid-
Michigan community cheered on a
16-year-old sophomore the victim of
an apparent prank by classmates as
she took her place with other members
of her high schools homecoming court.
Whitney Kropp was escorted by her
father and grandfather onto the Oge-
maw Heights High School football field
Friday night in West Branch, about 140
miles northwest of Detroit.
Kropp was named to the homecom-
ing court of the 800-student school
earlier this month, but said she felt
betrayed after some students suggested
her selection was a joke. She said she
had been picked on in the past, but it
intensified afterward.
Her story has sparked national in-
terest and on Friday, residents and
business owners in the West Branch
area turned out to the game to show
their support and help take a stand
against bullying.
Orange T-shirts Kropps favorite
color have been sold with the slogan
Its not cool to be cruel.
Its just so much right now for me,
Kropp said Friday night. I had
thoughts about not coming but I actual-
ly changed my mind and came out. I
just thought maybe I wont have fun.
But Im having a lot of fun right now.
Her gown, jewelry, shoes, hair styling
and makeup were donated.
The kids that are bullying, do not let
them bring you down, Kropp told
reporters. Stand up for what you be-
lieve in, and go with your heart and go
with your gut. Thats what I did, and
look at me now. Im just as happy as can
be.
Many in the stands, even students
from visiting Cadillac, wore orange.
It wasnt right what they did to her,
said Alexis Dahlstrom, a 16-year-old
Cadillac junior. We wanted her to
know that there are people out there
who support her.
Dahlstrom and her friends learned
about Kropps story on Facebook.
Whitney is strong. I dont know that
I would have had the courage to go,

been so severe, but I feel like if he

he would have slipped through
the cracks, she said. He would
have stayed in the ALC and ulti-
mately wouldnt have gotten to
his full potential.
County judges and other lead-
ers gathered Saturday to reflect
onthosesuccess stories, andhon-
or the 85 county residents who
have volunteered their time to sit
onyouthaidpanels.
Some of those volunteers said
the opportunity to make positive
change in the lives of young peo-
ple has beenits ownreward.
Kids are just so much more
able to be influenced, so its good
to see adults helping to prevent
them from getting involved with
something that can really affect
their lives, said Stephanie Durk,
a panel volunteer and drug-and-
alcohol counselor who works
withadults inher profession.
Adults maykeeprepeatingthe
same mistakes, but theyre pre-
pared to deal with the conse-
quences, she said. Kids dont
know what theyre getting in-
volvedwith.
Panel volunteer Shannon
Doyne said panel mentors some-
times become the first positive
adult mentors inchildrens lives.
We believe in the child,
Doyne said. We dont focus on
theoffense. Itsanegligiblepart of
what we talkabout onour panels.
We dont talk about it on the
phone, andI thinkwe really, truly
can be that person (who believes
in the child). Until theres some-
one else who believes, and more
people that believe, its the youth
aid panels and Im honored to do
it.
Youth aid panel coordinator
Bob Stevens said the panels have
proven to be successful alterna-
tive to adjudication, and have
grown as more local law enforce-
ment agencies, school districts
and judges have recognized their
effectiveness.
Theres no question that its
working, Stevens said. There
are innumerable instances where
the young person we see the first
night andthepersonweseeat the
end of our panel is a completely
different person.
Stevens said its impossible to
comparetheprograms long-term
success rate to that of traditional
court intervention, but that 85
percent of juveniles entering the
program have successfully com-
pleted it, slightly above the aver-
age of other youth panels across
the state of 82 percent.
The number of panels has
grown from six to 12 to meet the
demand fromincreased referrals,
and the group recently inducted
20 new volunteers to serve on
three newpanels in the Hazleton
area.

The group takes its peculiar
name from Conan Doyles final
SherlockHolmes novel TheValley
of Fear, a story inspired by local
history.
In the novel, Holmes investiga-
tion of a murder in Southeastern
England leads him to the tale of a
secret society called the Scowrers
in the fictional coal and iron ore
mining region of Vermissa Valley
in America. Conan Doyle wrote
the novel after learning the real-
life story of the Molly Maguires
and their clashes with mine own-
ers and authorities in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania.
Boss McGinty, the leader or
bodymaster of the Scowrers, is
arrested along with other group
ringleaders while waiting to am-
bush Birdie Edwards, a Pinkerton
detective sent to investigate the
group.
ItsBossMcGintysBirdWatch-
ers because were watchingout for
Birdie Edwards, said Larry Wil-
liams of New Cumberland, Cum-
berland County. Youll find that
Sherlockians really like puns.
Williams relates the story
dressed as Boss McGinty himself.
A towering bearded figure in a
black Victorian three-piece suit
and stovepipe hat, he looks the
part of the menacing gang leader.
So what keeps Williams andthe
others coming back? What mys-
tery lies behind the pipe and deer-
stalker capthat cancaptivate a fan
for a lifetime?
For Sauls, the groups founder,
its the scientific and logical rigor
withwhichDoyle orchestratedhis
plots.
Holmes was the first one that
showed you could attack crime
logically, and it was not long after
Holmes came along that they did
start to attack crime logically and
apply science to solving crimes,
Sauls said. So in a lot of ways you
could say Holmes anticipated fo-
rensic science and many of the
shows that you see on TVtoday.
But Sauls also finds the forensic
sciencedramas of todaytobepoor
imitations. He cant watch them
without yelling at the television.
Theyjust dothings that arenot
technically possible, he said.
For Rob Gaiteri, an original
member who claims to have read
each Sherlock Holmes story at
least five times, Sherlock Holmes
isacomfort food;afamiliarplace
filled with familiar characters
where he can always return.
I guessitsthesamereasonwhy
a child likes to be read to, Gaiteri
said. You know the ending and
youknowitsgoingtobegood, and
Sherlock always triumphs in the
end.
There is something in Conan
Doyles formula that has held en-
during appeal, here and else-
where. The Holmes stories and
their protagonist have beenadapt-
ed and re-imagined countless
times over thelast century, includ-
ing in the recent film series star-
ring Robert Downey Jr. and in the
new CBS drama Elementary,
which recently premiered.
I thinkit proves that the appeal
of this mystery appeals to any
age, said Alethea Bowman, a re-
tired English teacher and original
groupmember. It speakstothein-
tricacy of the stories and the con-
struction of the characters It
proves its timeless in its enchant-
ment.

DALLAS TWP. -- About 250
administrators, supporters and
athletes of Misericordia Univer-
sity gathered on Saturday morn-
ing for the dedication of the new
John and Mary Metz Field
House.
Touted as a state-of-the-art
facility, the $4 million 21,750-
square-foot center includes ath-
letic training rooms, expanded
locker facilities for mens and
womens fieldsports, teammeet-
ing rooms, a weight room, show-
er rooms and public restrooms.
Located between the Man-
gelsdorf Fieldandanewbaseball
diamond, the Metz Field House
is the latest part of a $7 million
university expansion.
University President Michael
MacDowell said the university
dedicated the facility to John
and Mary Metz because of how
they have driven the universi-
tys growth over the last few
years. Metz serves as chairman
of the universitys board of trust-
ees as well as thechairmanof the
Metz Culinary Management and
Northeast Restaurant Group,
Inc., both based in Dallas.
John Metz was the driver be-
hindour attaininguniversity sta-
tus and growing in enrollment
from 1,050 to over 1,900 stu-
dents, MacDowell said.
MacDowell said a greater em-
phasis onfieldsports, particular-
ly mens football, will bring in
high quality students.
There are 130 student-ath-
letes here that have grade-point
averages higher than 3.4, Mac-
Dowell said. They are coming
here because they love to play
the games as well as earn great
degrees.
Jeff Metz, president of Metz
Culinary, said the dedication
was a real special day for the en-
tire Metz family. He added sup-
porting the university gives
them a way to show their grat-
itude.
He said Misericordia, as a lo-
cal university, offers value for
employers inNortheast Pennsyl-
vania by providing good educa-
tion and training for the future
workforce.
Its right here in our back-
yard, Metz said. Supporting
the university is a great way to
help the local community.
The dedication took place just
prior to Misericordias inaugural
homecoming football game.
Franco Harris, a Hall-of-Famer
for the Pittsburgh Steelers who
also played for Penn State Uni-
versity, talked to the group
about the benefits of a strong
football program at the school.
Harris said a football program
offers many benefits to all stu-
dents as well as the university.
Paul Krzywicki, assistant di-
rector for university marketing
and communications, said John
and Mary Metz have been long-
time supporters of the school.
Misericordia dedicated the field
house to acknowledge the sig-
nificant leadership and philan-
thropy of the couple and their
family, he said.

NEWS OF
FOUR teen
suicides in two
weeks affected
me profoundly.
I do not pre-
tend to under-
stand each
students unique pain, but I can
relate to their feelings of hope-
lessness. I attempted suicide
several times during my teen
years.
My family was not the Brady
Bunch, with solutions to prob-
lems guaranteed within 30 min-
utes. I had loving and caring
parents who did the best they
could a normal, dysfunctional
family. I went to Catholic high
school in another state for three
years, transferring to public
school for my senior year. I felt as
comfortable as I could in school
until ninth grade.
There was something different
about being13 or 14. My world
spun into a whole newgalaxy,
and I was being swallowed into a
black hole of puberty, angst and
an identity crisis. At that time my
mother began battling severe
depression. I was in eighth grade.
I too had struggles with depres-
sion.
I played freshman basketball,
but I was not a jock. I was into
movies and video games, and
joined the audio/visual depart-
ment. I did many normal activ-
ities, yet never felt like I fit in.
In Catholic high school, I was
asked why I sat with the geeky
or gay kids at lunch and was
made to feel embarrassed by my
choice. I should have gotten to
knowthose lunch peers better.
They were always kind, let me
eat in peace, and laughed at my
stupid jokes. But I let what oth-
ers said affect me. I was not
strong enough, mentally, to stand
up to the ridicule. I became a
loner. I transferred to another
school and never sawthe kids
who made me feel good about
myself again. I did not think
there was anyone who truly liked
me for who I was or cared about
me.
In public school I wanted to be
part of something outside myself,
but felt no girl could love me and
no one would accept me. I loved
and accepted myself, but I did
not think that I was normal and
always felt out of place. I received
plenty of love and concern from
my parents, but I was afraid to
talk to them; I felt ashamed and
different. My best friend was a
sophomore I only sawafter
school. I was silent, sad and
terrified.
I was never beaten or picked
on, but there were little moments
that piled into a mountain of
despair. Moments I couldnt
share because they embarrassed
me. When my father asked if
anything was wrong, I stuffed my
emotions and let the problems
build to an unstable peak.
That peak became an ava-
lanche of suicidal thoughts. I
wanted to die; I continued to
trudge on.
One day I sat alone outside the
auditoriumand ate the sandwich
packed by my father. I wanted to
read my magazine and hide.
Three girls who I never saw
before sat across fromme, chat-
ting and laughing.
I was minutes into my meal
when one of the girls sandwiches
was hurled in my direction, land-
ing on my magazine. I trembled
with fear; I brushed the sandwich
aside and continued with my
lunch. The laughs got louder.
One girl shouted: Hey, thats my
sandwich! I had no way to deal
with this. I did not want to re-
treat to the principal. I wouldnt
retaliate against the girls. I just
ran frommy problems.
It was just a little moment for a
student who had no girlfriend,
average grades and hard tests
ahead. It felt like the end of my
world.
A day later in English class,
everyone seemed somber. I asked
the teacher what happened. She
had just received word a student
had killed himself. I looked at his
empty seat and slouched. That
very student had previously
attempted to befriend me. When
I heard howhe did it, I thought
that perhaps it would not be
too hard to end my pain like that.
I tried to take my life a few
days later. I failed. I tried a few
months after that. I failed. One
more time at the end of high
school failed. My second year
at college I tried once again and
failed.
I nowlook at those failures as
successes that afforded the op-
portunity to a good life. And to
nowshare what I learned.
Life after high school and
college wasnt smooth, but I
eventually found contentment. I
love my wife and my daughter.
My friends today accept me for
who I am. I love themand they
love me. I amhappy with my life.
To have made it so far makes
me all the sadder for the lives
lost these past weeks.
I do not have an answer. But I
share what happened to me in
the hopes that parents do what
my father tried to do for me. He
cut out articles about things that
he thought might help me. Some-
times I would read them, some-
times I would not. If I had read
something like this, maybe, just
maybe, I would have felt that I
was not alone.
Sometimes a kid will talk to
his or her parents and feel com-
fortable. Sometimes professional
help will work. I share my story
hoping others will do the same.
No one is alone.
We just feel like it sometimes.

Advice from someone happy and lucky to have survived teen years

with anyone regarding the com-
mittee. He said he supports the
effort, but noted he expects it
may find, as the 2002 committee
did, that surviving family mem-
bers of suicide victims might be
reluctant to participate.
We were the go-between be-
tween the group and the surviv-
ing family members. The vast
majority did not want to partici-
pate, Lisman said.
Luzerne-Wyoming Counties
Mental Health and Develop-
mental Services program.
We cant undo this tragedy,
Burns said. The whole purpose
is to see if there are any com-
mon factors so we can learn
what we can do to prevent future
tragedies.
A psychological autopsy in-
volves a detailed examination of
all aspects of the suicide victims
life to determine if there are any
common patterns among indi-
viduals who kill themselves.
It helps us understand who
the person was and what was
happening prior to the suicide
so we can focus our efforts on
the most preventive measures,
said Tara Gallagher, the chil-
drens services coordinator for
the county mental healthagency
who is helping restart the com-
mittee.
Gallagher noted officials in
Schuylkill County utilized psy-
chological autopsies to discover
that a large number of suicide
victims there had been at a tav-
ern prior to their deaths.
They used that information
to place posters in bars telling
people who to call for help, she
said.
The 2002 Luzerne County
committee helped uncover dif-
ferences in the manner in which
youths and adults manifest
signs of suicides.
The panel concluded that trig-
gers for youths include loss of a
loved one and romantic break-
ups, and warning signs included
self abusive cutting, risk taking
and withdrawal from society.
Adults might have experienced
financial troubles, depression,
illness or substance abuse.
Gallagher said formation of a
newcommittee is still in the pre-
liminary phases. Its not clear
when it might begin work.
Acting Coroner William Lis-
man said he has not yet spoken
SUICIDES
themselves nationwideeachyear.
Research has shown suicide
doesnt just happen, Salvatore
says in the pamphlet. Its the out-
come of a complex intermingling
of psychological, social, cultural
and interpersonal factors over a
period of time. Often persons
who kill themselves suffer from
depression or some other type of
mental illness.
Classmates of a16-year-old boy
and 15-year-old girl from the Pitt-
ston Area School District who
killed themselves days apart last
week said the teens did not ap-
pear troubled, although experts
warn the signs may not be obvi-
ous.
Days before their deaths, a 13-
year-old boy from Nanticoke fa-
tally shot himself. A fourth teen
from Hazleton took his life on
Tuesday.
Their deaths, coupled with the
suicide of a 17-year-old boy in Au-
gust, bring the total number of
teen suicides in Luzerne County
this year tofive. That compares to
three teensuicides in2011, two in
2010 and none in 2009, according
to the Luzerne County Coroners
Office.
The District Attorneys Office
has joined with school officials
fromthe three districts to investi-
gate the circumstances that ledto
the latest deaths, including alle-
gations by peers that some of the
teens were bullied.
So far, officials say theres no
concrete evidence of bullying.
Evenif its shownthe youths were
targeted, mental health experts
cautionits overly simplistic to tie
a suicide to a single event.
What seems to happen is
stressors accumulate (leading)
to isolation, hopelessness, anger
and negative self-image, said Dr.
Philip Rutter, an associate profes-
sor of psychologyat Widener Uni-
versity in Chester.
Is bullying directly related to
suicide? Its not totally legitimate
to say that. It is fair to say some
young people who are bullied be-
come depressed and feel help-
less.
A key difference between
youths and adults who commit
suicide is that youths tend to act
more impulsively to life stressors
than adults, Rutter said.
One of the things with young
people is they are extremely pre-
sent centered. They dont have
much of a future concept, Rutter
said.
That makes it difficult for them
to wait out the rough patches in
their lives, he said
Adults say, giveit ayear, it gets
better. But a sixth- or seventh-
grader isnt able to give it a week-
end, Rutter said.
Thats partlyattributable tothe
biology andphysiology of teenag-
ers, said Dr. David Rudd, a psy-
chologist at the University of
Utah who studies suicide.
The frontal cortex of the brain,
which controls inhibition, is not
fully developed until a person is
in their mid 20s, Rudd said.
It controls theabilitytoinhibit
impulses. When its not fully de-
veloped you get more impulsive
behavior, he said.
Theres no evidence that any of
the four local suicides were link-
ed in any way. Some have ex-
pressed concern that media cov-
erage of the latest teen suicides
could spawn copycat action.
Oftentimes if there is a great
deal of coverage, people who are
struggling perceive its a way to
achieve significance, Rudd said.
If theyarenot abletoachievesig-
nificance in life, they can achieve
it in death.
That means families and class-
mates need to be extra vigilant in
watchingfor signs apersonis hav-
ing suicidal thoughts.
Sometimes those signs are ob-
vious a person talks about sui-
cide or starts giving away prized
possessions. Other times theyre
far moresubtleanddifficult tode-
tect.
People go into another zone
when they are truly suicidal and
dont necessarily communicate
everything, Salvatore said.
Theyfeel noone cares about me.
When they feel that way they
dont think anyone will under-
stand, so they dont say any-
thing.
In those cases, actions speak
louder than words.
Friends and families need to be
on the lookout for mood changes
someone who was very social
suddenly begins staying home all
the time; a normally calm person
becomes angry or aggressive.
If something goes off you
thinkis not right, dont ignore it,
Salvatore said. We think it cant
happen to us, it only happens to
them. Guess what, it can happen
to anyone.
Salvatore said friends and
classmates are the front line de-
fense to suicide. They may see
signs that parents, teachers and
other adults might miss, particu-
larly messages posted on the so-
cial networking site Facebook.
But youths are often reluctant
to come forward out of fear they
will alienate their friends, Salva-
tore said. Its crucial they speak
up if they sense the slightest hint
of suicidal thoughts.
Kids need to be taught, dont
keep a secret. Its better to lose a
friend for a month than to lose
them forever, he said.
Salvatore said he also stresses
the need for the Luzerne County
community to ensure suicide pre-
vention remains a priority after
this crisis subsides.
The typical response is to
have an assembly for the kids and
a town meeting where you bring
in experts. Then the school year
ends and things return to nor-
mal, Salvatore said. Suicide
prevention should be like fire pre-
vention: You just dont worry
about it after a fire. Its got to be
somethingwe worry about all the
time.
EXPERTS
People go into another zone when

One of the things with young people is

PHILADELPHIA Thou-
sands of conservative Christians
gathered Saturday on Independ-
ence Mall in Philadelphia to pray
for the future of the UnitedStates
in the weeks before the presiden-
tial election.
Religious broadcaster Pat Ro-
bertson and Family Research
Council president Tony Perkins
topped a full day of speakers at
The America for Jesus 2012
prayer rally.
Robertson, a former Republi-
can candidate for president,
calledthe electionimportant, but
didnt mentioneither major polit-
ical party or candidate by name.
I dont care what the ACLU
says or any atheists say. This na-
tion belongs to Jesus, and were
here today to reclaim his sover-
eignty, said Robertson, 82, who
founded the Christian Coalition
and Christian Broadcasting Net-
work, and ran for president in
1988.
Organizers plananother prayer
rally Oct. 20 inWashington, D.C.,
two weeks before President Ba-
rack Obama faces Republican
Mitt Romney in the presidential
election.
Perkins asked the crowd to
pray for elected officials includ-
ing Obama.
We pray that his eyes will be
open to the truth, Perkins said.
A number of event organizers,
though, have been vocal critics of
the Democratic president.
Steve Strang, the influential
Pentecostal publisher of Charis-
ma magazine, which was distrib-
utedat the rally, recently wrote in
a blog post that America is under
threat from a radical homosex-
ual agenda. He also said Obama
seems to be moving toward
some form of European social-
ism.
And speaker Cindy Jacobs has
blamed a mysterious Arkansas
bird-kill last year on Obamas re-
peal of the policy knownas dont
ask, dont tell, whichallows gays
and lesbians to serve openly in
the military.
Speakers throughout the day
condemned abortion, gay mar-
riage and population control as
practiced by Planned Parent-
hood. Christian rock music filled
the historic mall as speakers chal-
lenged the crowd to overcome
the seven deadly sins: pride,
greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath
and slothfulness.
The rally was held outside of
Independence Hall, where the
Declarationof Independence was
signed. Pennsylvania is also
where evangelist George White-
field preached during the first
Great Awakening, the 18th-cen-
tury religious revival that spread
through the American colonies.
Thousands pray for future of U.S.

PHOENIXAman who stole
a car at gunpoint, shot at Phoe-
nix police officers and then led
themon a chase that ended with
his suicide broadcast on national
television was identified Satur-
day as a wanted felon with a long
criminal history.
Jodon F. Romero, 33, was
wanted for violating his parole
for a weapons conviction and
had numerous other violent
crimes in his background, police
spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thomp-
son said.
At the end of an hour-long pur-
suit on an interstate west of
Phoenix on Friday, Romero
pulledinto the desert andanoffi-
cer shot at him, although it ap-
pears he missed, Thompson
said. Romero then walked off the
dirt road, put a gun to his head
and killed himself.
Fox News was covering the
chase that began about midday
Friday using a live helicopter
shot from Phoenix affiliate
KSAZ-TV. Anchor Shepard
Smith told viewers that the vid-
eo was supposed to be on a delay
so it couldbe cut off if something
went awry.
We really messed up, and
were all very sorry, Smith said
minutes after the suicide aired.
Fox apologized for showing the
violence on air. KSAZ itself was
not airing the chase.
On Saturday, Thompson said
police did everything in their
power to de-escalate the situa-
tion, but Romero seemed intent
on continuing a crime spree that
began with a minor incident
where he apparently hit a pass-
ing car with his hand, leading to
a call to police.
An autopsy will determine if
Romero was actually shot by an
officer before shooting himself.
Thompson said it was clear to of-
ficers they had to stop Romero
fromgetting back to a populated
area.
Anybody who will shoot at
police officers, that shows a total
disregard for them, will shoot at
anybody else, he said. Even af-
ter we backed out all the marked
units he still continued to go.
Arizona Department of Cor-
rections records show Romero
was imprisoned from April 2010
to June 2012 for a felony weap-
ons charge.

The Social Security numbers
of Army recipients of the Medal
of Honor and Distinguished Ser-
vice Cross were inadvertently
postedonline by a Pentagoncon-
tractor and were available to the
public until they were discov-
ered by a Vietnam veteran who
researches military medal
awards.
The Social Security numbers
of 31winners of the militarys top
two awards for valor in combat
were posted by a contractor con-
ducting medals research for the
Pentagon. The information was
removed Friday after the Penta-
gon learned of the breach
through the efforts of Doug Ster-
ner of Alexandria, Va., a Bronze
Star winner who has spent 14
years researching medals.
The 31 Social Security num-
bers were posted on a link that
contains details of the 518 recip-
ients awarded the Medal of Hon-
or, Distinguished Service Cross
and Silver Star since Sept. 11,
2001.
I was stunned Imvery up-
set this information got out
there, said Sterner, 62.
Sterner said Google searches
of several medal winners names
ledhimto the link, where the So-
cial Security numbers were in-
cluded along with names, ranks,
units and brief narratives of bat-
tlefield heroics in Iraq and Af-
ghanistan.
Erik Muendel, chief executive
officer of Brightline Interactive,
an Alexandria, Va., company
that has compiled information
on medal recipients for the Pen-
tagon, said he didnt know how
the Social Security numbers
ended up online. He said the
company was supposed to re-
ceive only unclassified informa-
tion.
A Pentagon spokesman, Maj.
S. Justin Platt, said some Social
Security numbers were included
when Brightline Interactive
posted a link to an html-coded
file used to create content for an
interactive Gallery of Heroes
kiosk at the October 2011confer-
ence of the Association of the
United States Army, a nonprofit
educational group.
Sterner said the Social Securi-
ty numbers appeared to have
been available for some time.

paign appearances, thousands of
political ads and billions of dol-
lars invested in the race, this is a
singular moment in the contest.
Upward of 50 million people are
expected to watch each of the de-
bates, drawing the largest politi-
cal audience of the year.
Forty-one percent of Ameri-
cans reported watching all of the
2008debates, and80percent said
they saw at least a bit, according
to a Pew Research Center poll.
That intense interest tends to
crowd out everything else for a
time, adding to the debates im-
portance. With polls indicating
that Obama has been gaining
ground steadily in the most com-
petitive states, the pressure is on
Romneytoturnina breakout per-
formance.
The Denver debate, 90 min-
utes devoted to domestic policy,
airs live at 9 p.m. EDT, with the
two men seated side by side in
elevated directors chairs. Rom-
neyandObama debate againOct.
16 in Hempstead, N.Y., and Oct.
22 in Boca Raton, Fla. Vice Presi-
dent Joe Biden and Republican
Paul Ryan have their lone debate
Oct. 11 in Danville, Ky.
With early or absentee voting
already under way in more than
half the states, any first impres-
sions created in the debates
could well be last impressions.
What the candidates say is sure
to matter immensely, but how
they say it may count for even
more.
We remember visual impres-
sions fromdebates more than we
remember specific words, says
Alan Schroeder, a Northeastern
University professor whos writ-
ten a history of presidential de-
bates.
Whether the candidates smile
or grimace, strike a confident or
defensive pose, speakwitha reso-
nant or strained tone of voice, it
all matters. That may be particu-
larlytruefor theall-important un-
decided voters and those still
open to changing their minds.
Staunch Democrats and Re-
publicans may well be firm in
their choices, says Patti Wood, an
Atlanta-basedexpert onbodylan-
guage, but if less partisan voters
are frightened in general about
their lives, if theyre insecure,
theyre going to pick the most
charismatic person.
Bothcandidates have challeng-
es to overcome on that score, ac-
cording to Wood.
Obama, 51, has been sounding
very tired and very strained
lately, she says, and Romney, 65,
has a problem with appearing
superior and cold.
Overall, she says, Romney is
looking a little bit younger than
Obamaright now, interms of en-
ergy if not wrinkles.
Both candidates are experi-
enced and competent debaters.
But each, setting the judgment
bar high for his opponent, is
working overtime to puff up the
skills of the other guy and play
downhis owndebate credentials.
Romneyrecentlydescribedthe
president as eloquent indescrib-
ing his vision during the 2008
debates. But the GOP nominee
added that Obama cant win by
his words, because his record
speaks so loudly in our ears.
Obama campaign spokeswo-
man Jen Psaki stresses that Rom-
neyhas beenpreparingfor thede-
bates with more focus than any
presidential candidate inmodern
history. Sketching sky-high
stakes, Psaki says the Republi-
cans fully expect the debates to
be their turning point in the
campaign.
The president himself mocked
the idea that Romney still can al-
ter the campaign dynamic.
Every few days he keeps on
saying hes going to reboot this
campaign and theyre going to
start explaining very specifically
howthis plan is going to work
and then they dont, he said last
week while campaigning in Vir-
ginia.
For all their positioning, both
candidates will usethedebates to
try to surmount the same chal-
lenges that they long have con-
fronted.
Romney, frequently criticized
for shifting his positions to sync
up with the politics of the mo-
ment, needs to project a kind of
character, a kind of maturity that
allows him to be presidential,
says Fields.
Obama, an incumbent whos
shown himself to be comfortable
in the media glare, doesnt have
to prove that part, says Fields.
He has to prove that he has real
answers to problems that have
not been solved in his first term
andfor whichthere is a great deal
of unrest.
Romney is sure to be ques-
tioned anewabout his caught-on-
video comment dismissing the
47 percent of Americans who
dont pay federal income tax as
victims who wont take respon-
sibility for their lives.
How can Gov. Romney have
such a profound misunderstand-
ingof the people of this country?
Biden asked during an appear-
ance SaturdayinFort Myers, Fla.,
When I hear this talk, not just
fromRomney and Ryan, but from
this new Republican Party ... I
dont recognize the country
theyre talking about.
Former President Bill Clinton,
offering a bit of unsolicited ad-
vice to the opposition, says Rom-
ney would be wise not to double
downonthat 47percent remark.

DEBATE
Precautions required
The status means BP and its
wind farm partner, Sempra U.S.
Gas &Power, must take extraor-
dinary precautions toprotect the
health, safety and welfare of the
reptiles.
Asnake crossing or sunning it-
self in the road brings produc-
tionto a screeching halt as crews
must stop the trucks and call in
snake monitors specially
trained environmentalists who
capture the rattlers and move
them to the side.
It would be a lot easier to just
run the reptile over, Kelly ac-
knowledges, but regulations
strictly prohibit the intentional
killing of the timber rattlesnake.
Its beenreal educationfor Kel-
lyas hes come torealize: BPmay
one of the biggest petroleum
companies in the world, but in
this part of the country, rattlers
rule.
Once completed, the $250mil-
lionMehoopany project will con-
sist of 88 wind turbines located
across a 9,000-acre site inNoxen,
Forkston, EatonandMehoopany
townships. Construction began
last October and is scheduled to
end on Dec. 31.
The site is a rattlesnake mec-
ca, home to an estimated 800 to
1,000 rattlesnakes, said Eric
Heppenof Shoener Environmen-
tal in Dickson City, the company
BP and Sempra retained to help
ensure the project complies with
regulations.
Those efforts go far beyond
avoiding crushing the reptiles as
they cross the road. Before con-
struction began, extensive stud-
ies were conducted to pinpoint
the location of snake dens, Hep-
pen said.
Younot onlyhavetoavoidthe
snake, you have to buffer to the
point you dont affect a single
rattlesnake den, Heppen said.
Critters get costly
The efforts have added signif-
icant cost and created some ma-
jor challenges, Kelly and Heppn-
er said. The companies hadtore-
locate roughly eight of the wind
turbines and re-route about 10
miles of roadways after snake
dens were discoveredinthe orig-
inally planned locations.
There were also some unex-
pected costs like the special
matting thats placed on the
mountainside to reduce erosion
of soil once trees are cut. It could
not be used because BP and
Sempra learnedthesnakes could
not pass throughthe type of mat-
ting that had been purchased.
Kelly, safety manager for the
project, said protecting the
snakes also tests the patience of
workers.
With 33 miles of roads, it can
take 10 to 15 minutes before a
snake monitor makes it to the lo-
cation to move the snake.
You have to stop traffic and
wait for the snake tocross, or call
in a snake monitor, Kelly said.
Snakes are coldblooded and
love to sun themselves on rocks
and the dirt roadways. During
the peak season of snake activity
in June and July, snake monitors
were called out as many as 15
times a day, he said.
Some of the workers many of
whom are not fond of snakes
would prefer to take care of the
problem in a whole nother
way, Kelly said.
But we wont let that hap-
pen, he said. Its immediate
dismissal if you intentionally
harm a snake.
The efforts have made a differ-
ence. Only about 20 rattlesnakes
out of the hundreds that pop-
ulate the site have been killed,
said Kathy Michell, one of five
snake monitors employed at the
site.
Samson is one of the success
stories. The timber rattlesnake
was discovered on the side of the
road about a month ago. It had
apparently been run over by an
all-terrain vehicle not connected
to the project, Michell said.
Saving a snake
At first, Samson named in
honor of the biblical figure
known for his strength ap-
pearedtobe dead. Incompliance
with regulations, Michells son,
Tom, who is also a snake moni-
tor, picked the snake up to pho-
tograph it and record its death.
When he dropped it to the
ground, he saw a slight move-
ment.
The snake, which suffered a
spinal injury, could not crawl or
hold its head up.
Kathy Michell took the reptile
home and nursed it back to
health. She released it back into
the wild last week.
Michell and Heppen credited
BP and Sempra for their cooper-
ation in protecting the snakes,
noting the companies have gone
beyond what theyre required to
do.
For instance, the companies
have voluntarily avoided build-
ing on gestation areas for the
snakes, even though those areas
are not officially off limits.
It was critical we leave as
much habitat as we could, Hep-
pen said. It ensures their long-
time survival.
The bucket Kathy Michell uses to transport rattlesnakes. The tail is all that can be seen of Samson, a timber rattlesnake,
as he slithers into the woods following his release.
Tom Michell, one of the snake monitors at the Mehoopany Wind Farm project, releases a female rattlesnake on the rock where it was
found.

reat heroes ruled the airwaves
in 1940s and 1950s radio.
Whether bringing bad guys to
justice in the Old West or exploring
outer space, these fearless and re-
sourceful men always kept their wits
about them as they made life safe for
everyday folk like ourselves.
Yes, many a box of cereal I downed
and many a plastic artifact I sent
away for to show my solidarity with
these titans of manliness whose ex-
ploits rang out from our Silvertone
and Zenith weekly.
But, at this distance of more than
half a century, and fully aware that I
run the risk of shocking my fellow
hero worshippers, I have a confession
to make.
I thought some of the sidekicks
were more interesting figures than
the larger-than-life men whom my
favorite shows were built around.
Dont get me wrong, now. I was as
devoted as anyone else to Wild Bill
Hickok when with blazing guns or
flying fists he would smoke the bad
guys. Of course I ate my share of
Kelloggs Sugar Corn Pops in tribute
to his heroism.
But, I have to admit, the rather
bland voice of Guy Madison as Hick-
ok never really burrowed into my
youthful brain as much as the cackly
laugh of that wonderful actor Andy
Devine as his sidekick Jingles. In fact,
its Jingles voice I remember today.
I felt for Jingles when, in the open-
ing of the show he would call to Hick-
ok on a dash across the plains Hey,
Wild Bill, wait for me. Even then I
sensed that Jingles was far closer to
real life and to what I would likely
be than the intrepid and just-too-
perfect U.S. Marshal who could tame
the whole west with a steely gaze.
I liked the way Jingles, though slow
on the draw and out-of-shape, never
got excited and always radiated confi-
dence that right would win out in the
end if only you showed up and did
your share, small though it might be.
Thats probably why I had a sneak-
ing admiration for the other radio
sidekicks of the time, even though I
genuinely respected their bosses.
Hey, heres a mini-quiz (answers
below). No, Im not including the
Lone Ranger and Tonto. Theyre too
famous.
But does anybody remember the
name of Straight Arrows sidekick?
Straight Arrow was a Native Amer-
ican frontier crime fighter who used
the wisdom of two worlds to keep
good people safe. There was a totally
unprepossessing older guy who
helped him along.
How about Commander Buzz
Corry of the Space Patrol, that Sat-
urday morning staple? A young fellow
on loan from the space academy ac-
companied him as he rocketed count-
less parsecs across the universe.
I never missed the exploits of the
Silver Eagle, an intrepid Northwest
Mountie who carried the crowns
justice to the frozen wilds. His side-
kick was sort of a Jingles with a
French Canadian accent.
The Cisco Kid? Who was his
loyal buddy in the old Southwest?
Ah, sidekicks. I liked them one and
all, and because they were so much
more real than their bosses, they have
remained in my memory to this day.
Heres what Ive learned: Never
scorn a sidekick. In their own ways,
these guys were heroes too.
Got em all? OK, here they are.
Packy (Straight Arrow); Cadet Happy
(Buzz Corry); Joe Bideaux (the Silver
Eagle); Pancho (the Cisco Kid).
I could think of more but, please
excuse me; I suddenly have this crav-
ing for a big bowl of cereal.

indy Maillouxis the chairpersonof the NursingDepartment
at Misericordia University. Mailloux, 55, attended Meyers
High School and received her bachelors degree in nursing at
Wilkes College and her masters degree in nursing at Misericor-
dia University. She attended Penn State University and received
her Ph.D. in nursing. Cindy lives in Mountain Top with her hus-
band, Peter. The couple has sons: Bradley and Cliff.
What got you interested in nurs-
ing? When I was in high school I was
part of theFutureNurses Organization
andthat really got meinterested. I was
alsoacandystriper duringhighschool
and that got me even more interest-
ed.
When you graduated from Wilkes
what did you do next? I became a
staff nurse in Detroit and Cleveland.
After a while I became interested in
nursing education so I moved back to
Northeastern, Pa. to pursue my mas-
ters degree. Once I did that I started
teaching at NPW Hospital, which is
now Geisinger. I then taught at Penn
StateWorthingtonfor14years. I decid-
ed to go for my Ph.D. after that and
ended up at Misericordia. I wanted to
advance my position and this was the
next step.
So you became the chairperson of
the Nursing Department there. How
has it been working there with the
staff and students? I have loved
working there. Everyone at Misericor-
dia does service for the communities
and I have been proud to be a part of
that.
What have been some of the
events or causes you have partici-
pated in? I currently serve as a
board member with the Northeast
Regional Cancer Institute and volun-
teer my time to evaluate nursing
programs for accreditation. I once
took a group of students to Guyana on
a service trip. It was a highly profound
thing to see underdeveloped health

111 School Street (corner of Roushey & School Streets) Shavertown
She laughs, anticipating the
feedback, Its exciting.
And thus begins a typical
morning for Mooney. Every
weekday for the past three years
she has added a picture of herself
toher Facebookpage, made-upin
some costume to fit a weekly
theme of her choosing, KARE-TV
reports (http://kare11.tv/Ulh-
DEE).
For Annie week, she posed as
Annie Oakley, Annie Lennox, An-
nie Hall and Resusi-anne the
last of which, she admitted, was
totally creepy.
Among her posts for Hot
Mess Week were a bearded Joa-
quin Phoenix and a bald and bug-
eyed Britney Spears. I love to
dress up. I love to entertain.
And since the marketing man-
ager in the University of Minne-
sotas College of Education and
Human Development was sur-
rendering her identity, she in-
vented a new one: Dressy Jes-
sie is the name she chose for her
Facebook page.
It all started innocently when,
in the midst of job change within
the university, Jessie decided to
show her friends the contents of
her closet one day at a time. I
think I was lonely, she laughs.
The postings started with dif-
ferent color blouses, evolving in-
toaccessories till one blingled
to another.
These I wear for Harry Ca-
ray, she laughs, pulling an over-
sizedpair of glasses out of a draw-
er filled with eyewear.
Theres the drawer of wigs,
she says, pulling out a gray mop.
Captain Kangaroo. That was
animal week.
She grabs another. Veruca
Salt fromWilly Wonka, she says,
turning on her best snotty voice.
Daddy I want a goose that lays a
golden egg, now!
Nearby stands a closet filled
with blouses and gowns. She
pulls out a red blouse. I bought
this especially because I needed
to be Nancy Reagan.
Now 800 photos posted and
counting, one might think Moo-
ney would be running out of
ideas. I would think Id be run-
ningout of ideas too, she laughs.
Yet the inspiration just seems
to keep coming, to the delight of
nearly 800 followers whove dis-
covered Dressy Jessie on Face-
book.
One of my favorites was the
dogs of Westminster week, says
Jerry Smith, who found himself
hooked after being steered to
Mooneys Facebook page by a
friend. Its crazy because every
picture she looks like the same
woman, yet she morphs into ev-
erybody, everything.
Blessed with a face as mallea-
ble as clay, Mooney is a master of
human expressions.
Smithconsiders her posts tobe
a form of art, and Mooney isnt
disagreeing. The fact that Ive
got an audience, you know peo-
ple waiting to see what Imgoing
to do everyday its kind of like
anentrance. SoI thinkof it as per-
formance art.

Girls playing soccer during the fall sea-
son on a boys team is nothing new.
There have been numerous females to
suit up with the males because they were
involved in other sports when the game
was played during the spring season.
But four girls on the same boys team
during this season -- when girls soccer
moved to the fall -- wasnt supposed to
happen. Especially on a team that was on
the verge of being very successful.
GARs girls team folded in August
when only five players attended practic-
es. So, since the girls were conditioning
with the boys anyway during the offsea-
son, they decided to join the boys team.
Even though they were on a team, it
was still disheartening because in the
2012 spring, the Grenadiers finished as
one of the most promising squads in the
Wyoming Valley Conference with eight
wins for a young team coming after just a
three-win season in 2011.
It was disappointing because we still
had a good team coming back, but a lot of
them we lost to other sports, junior Bre
Mosier said. We got really used to having
our coach (Stephanie Franks) and we miss
her. She still comes to games, but that was
the worst part, losing our coach.
Mosier is joined on the Grenadiers team
by female teammates Katelyn Oldziejew-
ski, a sophomore; Paige Elmy, a sopho-
more, and Madisen Nichol, a junior.
Not only are they on the field with the
GAR boys, they have contributed. Elmy,
Mosier and Nichol each have two goals
this season, and Oldziejewski has one to

MEDINAH, Ill. Phil
Mickelson and Keegan Bra-
dley helped stake the Ameri-
cans to their biggest lead in
the Ryder Cup in more than 30
years. Ian Poulter, eyes bulg-
ing and fists shaking with ev-
ery clutch putt, at least gave
Europe a lot of momentum
over the final frantic hour Sat-
urday at Medinah.
Right when it looked as if
the Americans were a lock to
win back the cup, Poulter
birdied his last five holes to
win a crucial point and keep
everyone guessing. Steady
chants of USA! USA! gave
way to snappy serenades of
Ole, Ole as both sides
trudged to the team rooms in
darkness to prepare for 12 sin-
gles matches on Sunday.
The Americans still had a
big lead, 10-6. Europe at least
had hope.

feated in this Ryder Cup by

With the NHL

look at the organizations future

While Bylsma cannot work
with his NHL players to get
them up to speed for the season,
the lockout has given him an op-
portunity to see whats coming
up in the system.
This is the first time Im go-

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- So this is how leg-
ends get started. In another few years,
Penn State players will talk about Michael
Mauti as though he ripped down Illinois
goalposts with his bare hands.
Teammates spoke in awe of the senior
linebacker following the Nittany Lions
much-relished 35-7 road win over the
Fighting Illini.
And maybe
there was a little
bit of embellish-
ment involved.
Man, before
the game he was
jacked, senior
cornerback Ste-
phon Morris said.
He was on some-
thing. Whatever
he was on, I need
a taste.
He was, like,
banging his head
against the locker.
I never seen no
crazy person like
that in my life. I
loved it. I loved
every minute of it.
And for him to be
able to back it up
(on the field) like
that, it was just
awesome.
Mauti, quite
mellow and re-
laxed after the
game, denied go-
ing as far as
smashing his head into things -- let alone
thick metal -- before taking the field Sat-
urday.
No matter. Mautis play spoke for itself.
He had six tackles and split a sack. He
came up with two interceptions, with the
first going back a school-record 99 yards --
but 1 short of a jaw-dropping touchdown.
He even spooked an Illinois return man in-
to dropping a punt by bearing down on
him at full speed.
Its hardly a coincidence that the per-
formance came against Illinois. Back inJu-
ly, Mauti tore into coaches who spent the
summer recruiting Penn State players,
with TimBeckman and the Illini being the
worst offenders.
So, yes, this one meant a little more to
him than just the teams first Big Ten win.
Having it come against these guys... It
was sweet, Mauti said after initially giv-

TORONTO Adeiny He-
chavarria doubled home the
tiebreaking run in the sixth
inning and the Toronto Blue
Jays beat the Yankees 3-2 on
Saturday, trimming New Yorks
lead atop the AL East to half a
game.
New York could fall into a
first-place tie with four games
to go if Baltimore beats Boston
at home later Saturday.
Torontos Rajai Davis home-
red and had three hits as the
Blue Jays increased the pres-
sure on the Yankees, who wast-
ed several opportunities early.
Shawn Hill (1-0) pitched
three innings of scoreless relief
for the win and Casey Janssen
closed it out for his 21st save in
24 chances.
Athletics 7, Mariners 4
OAKLAND, Calif. Josh
Donaldson hit a tying two-run
home run in the ninth inning
and Brandon Moss hit a game-
ending three-run homer in the
10th, and the Oakland Athlet-
ics gained ground on the first-
place Texas Rangers with a
stunning win over the Seattle
Mariners.
Coco Crisp singled off Oliver
Perez (1-3) leading off the final
inning for his fourth hit. Ste-
phen Pryor entered with one
out and walked Yoenis Ces-
pedes on four pitches.
Moss hammered the first
pitch against Pryor well over
the wall in right for his 21st
home run, sending Oakland
streaming out of the dugout to
celebrate its major-league lead-
ing 14th walk-off win.
Tigers 6, Twins 4
MINNEAPOLIS Miguel
Cabrera hit a three-run homer
to move into at least a tie for
the lead in all three triple
crown categories and Justin
Verlander struck out eight in
seven innings to help the De-
troit Tigers stay in front in the
AL Central with a victory over
the Minnesota Twins.
Rays 10, White Sox 4
CHICAGO Matt Moore
pitched one-hit ball into the
sixth, Matt Joyce homered
twice and the Tampa Bay Rays
stayed three games behind in
the chase for the second AL
wild card by beating the sliding
Chicago White Sox.
Tampa Bay, with nine wins
in 10 games, remained three
games out of the second wild
card behind Oakland, which
beat Seattle 7-4 Saturday.
Orioles 4, Red Sox 3
BALTIMORE Chris Davis
hit his 30th home run, rookie
Manny Machado lined a go-
ahead shot in the seventh in-
ning and the Baltimore Orioles
climbed into a tie atop the AL
East by defeating the Boston
Red Sox.
After finishing in the divi-
sion cellar in each of the previ-
ous four seasons, Baltimore
(91-67) is now in first place
with the New York Yankees.
Both teams have four games
left.

game in Toronto on Saturday.

ST. LOUIS Michael
Morse circled the bases for a
grand slam after taking an
imaginary swing, and the
Washington Nationals cut their
magic number for winning the
NL East to one Saturday night,
beating St. Louis 6-4 on Kurt
Suzukis two-run double in the
10th inning.
The Nationals were forced to
wait at least another day when
second-place Atlanta won.
St. Louis magic number for
clinching the second NL wild-
card spot remained at three.
The Nationals opened the
game with a blast, and a bit of
comedy.
Morses drive with the bases
loaded cleared the wall but
caromed back onto the field,
sending runners and fielders
scurrying. The umpires re-
viewed the ball on replay and
confirmed it was indeed a
grand slam.
The umps ordered all run-
ners to retrace their steps and
Morse back to the plate. He
mimicked his swing minus a
bat, then made his trip around
the bases.
Braves 2, Mets 0
ATLANTA Mike Minor
pitched 6
1
3 sharp innings to
win his fifth straight decision,
Martin Prado and Jason Hey-
ward each had an RBI and the
Atlanta Braves beat the New
York Mets.
Chipper Jones, who played
his next-to-last regular-season
game at Turner Field, was
hitless in four at-bats.
Brewers 9, Astros 5
MILWAUKEE Marco
Estrada struck out 11 in eight
shutout innings, Corey Hart
homered twice and the Mil-
waukee Brewers beat the Hous-
ton Astros.
Pirates 2, Reds 1
PITTSBURGH Andrew
McCutchen hit a solo home
run off Jonathan Broxton with
one out in the ninth inning,
lifting the Pittsburgh Pirates
over the Cincinnati Reds.
A day after getting no-hit by
Cincinnatis Homer Bailey, the
Pirates won with eight hits.
Phillies 9, Marlins 5
MIAMI Roy Halladay
survived a shaky opening in-
ning, Jimmy Rollins had three
hits and scored three times,
and the Philadelphia Phillies
beat the Miami Marlins.
Chase Utley drove in three
runs and Carlos Ruiz added a
two-run double for the Phillies,
who evened their record at
79-79 with four games left.
Diamondbacks 8, Cubs 2
PHOENIX Trevor Cahill
threw a four-hitter in his third
career complete game, Justin
Upton drove in three runs and
the Arizona Diamondbacks
added to Chicagos futility in
the NL West with a victory
over the Cubs.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
No. 9West VirginiaandtheBig12,
perfect together.
Geno Smith and the fast-mov-
ing, high-scoring Mountaineers
proved they fit right in with their
newconference, outracingNo. 25
Baylor 70-63 on Saturday in the
Big 12s highest-scoring game ev-
er.
Smith tied a conference mark
witheight touchdownpasses and
narrowly missed another one
with 656 yards passing.
It didfeel likeoneof thoseclas-
sic Texas shootouts, said Smith,
whose school moved over from
the Big East this season. Thats
kind of what the Big12 is about.
Smith outdueled Baylors Nick
Florence, who broke Heisman
Trophy-winning predecessor
Robert Griffin IIIs school record
with581yards. Florencethrewfor
five TDs.
School, conference and FBS
marks all got rewritten in this
one.
The game alsoset a newrecord
for the most points scored in a
game involving a team ranked in
The Associated Press poll. The
previous mark of 124 was set in
No. 12Oklahomas 82-42winover
Colorado in1980.
How wild was it? Smith, the
early Heisman front-runner, had
more TD passes than incomple-
tions (six). He finished 45 of 51
and still doesnt have an intercep-
tion this season.
Can you please tell me how
you can improve on that? West
Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen
said.
Maybe not on offense, but both
defenses have plenty of work to
do.
West Virginia amassed a
school-record 807 yards and the
teamscombinedfor1,507yardsof
offense and 67 first downs. Six re-
ceivers had at least 100 yards re-
ceiving.
The Bears Terrance Williams
set a Big12 record with 314 yards
receiving. The old mark was set
minutes earlier by West Virginias
Stedman Bailey, who had 303
yards and a school-record five
TDs.
Williams 8-yard scoring catch
brought Baylor (3-1) within70-63
with 3:08 left.
But Dustin Garrison ran for 17
yards on third down and the
Mountaineersranout theclockto
snap Baylors nine-game winning
streak, the second-longest in the
nation.
We expect to score that many
points a game, Florence said.
But thegoal istoscoremorethan
our opponent and we came up a
little short today.
The combined 19 touchdowns
tied an FBS mark, last reached
when Navy beat North Texas 74-
62 in 2007. That matchup set the
FBS record for most points in a
regulation game at 136.
Baylor, meanwhile, tiedanFBS
mark for the most points scored
by a losing team.
Among the other records,
Smith set school single-game
marks for completions, yards and
touchdown passes.
Bailey and Tavon Austin be-
came the first FBS teammates
with 200 yards receiving since
2007.
Going back to the Orange
Bowl, West Virginia has scored10
touchdowns threetimes inits last
five games.

14 Ohio State held off No. 20
Michigan State 17-16 on Sat-
urday, giving Urban Meyer a
win in his first Big Ten game as
Buckeyes coach.
Miller put Ohio State (5-0,
1-0) ahead 17-13 with a 63-yard
touchdown pass to Devin
Smith in the third quarter, and
the Buckeyes maligned de-
fense held LeVeon Bell and the
Michigan State running game
in check. Meyer becomes the
third coach to start 5-0 in his
first season at Ohio State.
Carol Widdoes and Earle Bruce
also did it in 1944 and 1979.
Michigan State (3-2, 0-1) has
lost four home games in a row
against Ohio State.
Iowa 31, Minnesota 13
IOWA CITY, Iowa Mark
Weisman ran for 177 yards, 155
in the first half, to lead Iowa to
a 31-13 win over Minnesota on
Saturday and give the Haw-
keyes possession of the Floyd
of Rosedale bronze pig trophy.
Christian Kirkseys 68-yard
interception return for a touch-
down in the fourth quarter
sealed the win for Iowa (3-2),
which bounced back from last
weeks disappointing 32-31 loss
to Central Michigan to win the
Big Ten opener for both
schools.
Minnesota (4-1) was off to its
best start since 2008, but
couldnt get anything going on
offense Saturday. Max Shortell
threw three interceptions and
the Gophers managed only 75
yards in the first half. The
Hawkeyes scored three touch-
downs during a six-minute
span of the second quarter to
jump out to a 24-0 halftime
lead.
Purdue 51, Marshall 41
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.
Purdues Caleb TerBush threw
four touchdown passes and the
Boilermakers ran two intercep-
tions back for scores as they
held off Marshall.
TerBush finished 27 of 37 for
294 yards on a day both offens-
es had big numbers.
Marshall (2-3) lived up to its
billing as the nations No. 1
passing offense.
After forging a 14-14 tie early
in the second quarter, Purdues
defense flipped the game by
turning three quick intercep-
tions into touchdowns. Corner-
backs Ricardo Allen and Josh
Johnson each scored on their
interceptions, marking the first
time in Purdue history that
two interceptions were return-
ed for TDs in the same game.
When the flurry ended, Purdue
(3-1) led 42-14.
Marshall charged back in the
second half, closing the gap to
10 with 3:46 to play but
couldnt get any closer.
Tommy Shuler set Marshalls
single-game record with 19
receptions and finished with
200 yards.
Northwestern 44,
Indiana 29
EVANSTON, Ill. Kain
Colter ran for 161 yards and
four touchdowns, and North-
western set a school record
with 704 yards of total offense
in a victory over Indiana in
both teams Big Ten Confer-
ence opener.
Colter also finished with 131
yards receiving. Trevor Sie-
mian threw for 308 yards, and
Venric Mark ran for 138 and a
touchdown on a day when the
Wildcats (5-0) had to hang on
after they appeared to be on
their way to an easy win.
They led 27-0 lead early in
the third quarter before things
got interesting.
Indiana (2-2) got with 37-29
when DAngelo Roberts scored
on a 2-yard run and Kofi
Hughes ran it in on a reverse
for the two-point conversion.
Colter helped to ice the game
when he scored on a 22-yard
run to make it 44-29 with just
over 5 minutes left.

Still, Mettenberger missed some

one of three LSUturnovers
led to the first of two touchdown
runs by Towsons Terrance West.
Wests first TDrun gave Tow-
son, an FCS team, a stunning 9-7
lead in the second quarter before
LSUresponded with 24 straight
points. J.C. Copeland, LSUs

PENN STATE 35, I L L I NOI S 7
DALLAS The cardboard cut-
out was his.
But Franco Harris insists the
replica of the late and lately-
scorned former Penn State coach
Joe Paterno propped up in the
Harris suite during Penn States
home opener this month stood
for much more than great college
football memories.
He wanted to make a state-
ment.
Theres a lot of misinforma-
tion out there, said Harris, a for-
mer Penn State great and Pitts-
burgh Steelers Hall of Fame run-
ning back who lambasted Pater-
nos firing from Penn State
following the Jerry Sandusky
scandal last season.
The reason I got involved,
Harris continued, I really felt
our boardof trustees reactedvery
quickly, without any due process.
(So) we had a cardboard cutout
of Joe (and a sign) telling howwe
want due process for Penn State
and Joe Paterno.
Misericordia University foot-
ball fans may have had trouble
processing why an NFL legend
was walking around their cam-
pus Saturday morning.
It turns out Harris was a guest
of his long-time friend John
Metz, the chairman of Misericor-
dias board of trustees and owner
of TGI Fridays franchises
throughout Northeastern Penn-
sylvania. Metz and his wife Mary
were honored with the dedica-
tion of the programs football
field house in their names before
Misericordias home game with
Stevenson on Saturday.
I just got to know them
through the years, said Harris,
who first met the Metzs through
the food business. I really like
them and really enjoy them.
Weve beenvery goodfriends. Ev-
ery year we spend some time to-
gether.
It seemed the perfect time for
Misericordias football team.
The first-year program is off to
an 0-5 start, and Cougars coach
Mark Ross spent some time talk-
ing with Harris following the
field house dedication ceremony.
Harris certainly could have of-
fered some strong advice.
The Steelers were struggling
after three straight losing sea-
sons before Harris arrived in the
1972 NFL Draft including a 6-8
finish in 1971. But the guy who
performedmainlyas ablocker for
Lydell Mitchell at Penn State
blossomed into one of the NFLs
all-time great rushers, performed
inninestraight ProBowls andled
the way to Pittsburghs four Su-
per Bowl titles insix years during
the 1970s.
So he knows what it takes to
build the frame for long-time suc-
cess.
This is the first year (for Mi-
sericordia football), Harris said.
You have coach Mark Ross, so
hes got to lay the foundation of
what the program stands for.
From what I understand, people
here at Misericordia are big be-
lievers in the student-athlete to
not only do great on the field, but
try to do great off the field.
Thats the culture that you try
to build.
Its a culture Harris credits Pa-
terno for building at Penn State --
a passion for education and a
model for true teamwork that
shouldnt be easily dismissed.
There are certain moments in
your life that change your life,
Harris said, and point you in a
new direction and give you op-
portunity. At Penn State, Joe Pa-
terno provided me that.
Its why Harris has remained
loyal to defending Paternos lega-
cy, despite growingbelief that Pa-
terno was part of a university-
wide cover-up surrounding for-
mer defensive coordinator Jerry
Sanduskys scandalous crimes
against young boys around Penn
States campus.
Harris said hes mostly both-
ered by the decision of Penn
States board of trustees to fire
Paterno within days of Sandus-
kys arrest last November.
How do you make a decision
in two or three days for someone
whos been there 61 years? Har-
ris asked incredulously. How do
you not give someone the time
(to defend himself) and the bene-
fit of the doubt? It was very dis-
turbing.
It was careless, Harris implied,
for someone who cared so much
about kids to be dismissed in
such a callous fashion and for the
university he served to coldly
turn its back on its past.
And it was even more alarm-
ing, Harris said, for Penn State to
readily agree to NCAA sanctions
that include loss of scholarships
and a four-year bowl ban mainly
because of the perception the
football programbecameall-pow-
erful at Penn State.
In 2011, Penn State was
rankedthe number one academic
teamin the country, Harris said.
That tells youwhat its all about.
Having that type of culture at
Penn State, where education and
sports is something you know is
very important, is what Joe val-
ued. I just hope that type of cul-
ture that has defined Penn State
for so long continues.

ing the same kind of diplomatic,
cookie-cutter response that Penn
State players had rattled off all
week. We never forgot about
what happened in the summer.
So yeah, to be honest with you,
we had that in the back of our
minds, and that kept us going.
It was just sweet.
Out of everyone who contrib-
uted to the four-touchdown win
for the Lions (3-2, 1-0 Big Ten),
Mauti was the one most entitled
to tell the truth.
The All-America candidate
had something of a target on his
back coming into the game be-
cause of his comments fromJuly.
Any time you have things to
say, its very important to go out
there and back it up, said Lions
coach Bill OBrien, who earned
his first career road win and con-
ference win. Thats kind of what
life is all about ina way. Hes a guy
who doesnt have a lot of prob-
lems backing things up.
Hes an instinctive player. He
plays extremely hard. Hes a
member of a really strong senior
class. We only have seven games
left withthem, andthats goingto
be tough at the end because they
mean a lot to me and the football
program.
Mauti got plenty of support on
offense, which posted its highest
scoring output of the season.
Penn State scored four 1-yard
touchdowns on the ground with
Zach Zwinak (19 carries, 100
yards) andMatt McGloinpicking
up two apiece.
McGloin (18-of-30, 211 yards)
also threw a 21-yard touchdown
to tight end Matt Lehman in the
second quarter. The Lions led
21-0 when Illinois (2-3, 0-1) elect-
ed to go for it on fourth-and-goal
from the Penn State 4-yard line
with 19 seconds left before half-
time.
Mauti read the eyes of quarter-
back Nathan Scheelhaase all the
way, snagging the pass with his
feet just inside his own end zone
and racing down the field in front
of the Illinois sideline.
What was nearly a 21-7 Penn
State lead looked instead to be a
28-0 advantage. But Mauti was
run down at the last possible mo-
ment by the Illinis Miles Osei.
Officially, it went down as a 99-
yard interception return, break-
ing a Penn State record that had
stood since 1958.
Yeah, 99 yards, Mauti said
with a smile, shaking his head.
Ninety-nine yards without a
touchdown. That ones gonna
hurt. Thats gonna haunt my
dreams.
Replay review confirmed that
Mautis right knee hit the ground
with the ball at the 1. But it also
showed that one second was left
on the clock.
OBrien elected to send out the
field goal team, but the Lions got
nothing out of it when Sam Fick-
ens 18-yard try was blocked.
Mauti had starred on defense
and even forced a turnover on
special teams. Would he have
been up for taking a handoff on
that play to try and add a touch-
down on offense?
If there was more time, Mau-
ti joked, I would have petitioned
for it.
That part of the legend will
have to wait for another day.
Penn State.............................. 14 7 7 7 -- 35
Illinois....................................... 0 0 7 0 7
FIRST QUARTER
PSU -- Zach Zwinak 1-yard run (Sam Ficken
kick), 10:41. Drive: 8 plays, 26 yards, 2:56. Analysis:
Fittingly, its Michael Mauti to open things up with a
big play. After an outspoken summer in which he
ripped into opposing coaches like Illinois TimBeck-
man for recruiting Penn State players in the wake of
NCAA sanctions, Mauti forces an early turnover to
set up a score. The senior linebacker puts a scare
into punt returner Tommy Davis, who muffs a punt
just before Mauti lays into him. Long snapper Mi-
chael Fuhrman is on the spot for the recovery, falling
on the loose ball at the Illinois 26. Zwinak polishes off
the drive with his first career score. But that comes
onlyafter anIllinoispenaltyfor runningintoFickenon
a successful field goal gives the Lions a fresh set of
downs.
PENN STATE 7, ILLINOIS 0.PSU -- Matt
McGloin 1-yard run (Ficken kick), 6:29. Drive: 8
plays, 60 yards, 2:35. Analysis: After going the first
three games without scoring a rushing touchdown,
Penn State picks up two in the first nine minutes
against Illinois. McGloin, whocameintotheyear with
two rushing scores, gets his third of the season on a
QB sneak at the goal line that is upheld after a video
review. Illinois continues to shoot itself in the foot,
getting flagged for holding to stall its first offensive
series. After punting back to Penn State, the Illini
tacked 15 yards onto the Lions scoring drive with a
personal foul penalty. PSU 14, UIUC 0.
SECOND QUARTER
PSU-- Matt Lehman 21-yard pass fromMcGloin
(Ficken kick), 3:11. Drive: 8 plays, 72 yards, 2:52.
Analysis: Tempers heat up as Penn State jumps out
to a three-touchdown lead. On second-and-8,
McGloin delivers a strike to Lehman who hauls it in
over themiddlefor atouchdown. Thenthings started
to get ugly. A few steps after the catch in the end
zone, Illinois safety Earnest Thomas doesnt slow
down and leads with his helmet to deliver a shot to
Lehmans chin, briefly knocking out the 6-foot-6 tight
end. Four separate officials throw a flag on the hit.
Thomas, a former high school teammate of Allen
Robinson and Rob Bolden, is ejected. The touch-
down pass is McGloins 10th of the season and the
second one to Lehman, who walks off under his own
power. Its also the 32nd career scoring strike by
McGloin, moving him past Anthony Morelli into sev-
enth place in school history. PSU 21, UIUC 0.
THIRD QUARTER
UIUC -- Spencer Harris 22-yard pass from Josh
Ferguson (Taylor Zalewski kick), 10:22. Drive: 3
plays, 42 yards, 1:15. Analysis: Illinois gets some life
by reaching into the bag of tricks, catching Penn
Stateoff guardwithahalfback pass for atouchdown.
The Illini first flip field position with a perfect 57-yard
punt downed on the Penn State 1. Illinois then forces
athree-and-out andgrabs somemomentum. Nathan
Scheelhaase takes a snap and pitches it back to the
tailback, Ferguson, who runs to the right sideline. Its
a pass all the way. Harris is wide open down the field
andhas plenty of timetocampout at thegoal lineand
wait for the lob to reach him for the score. PSU 21,
UIUC 7.PSU -- McGloin 1-yard run (Ficken kick),
3:15. Drive: 8 plays, 57 yards, 2:31. Analysis:
McGloin shakes off a rocky start to the second half
by deliveringtwoof his best passes of theday before
picking up yet another score on a QB sneak. An un-
characteristically poor punt by Illinois sets Penn
State up at midfield and McGloin completes three
straight passes, with two impressive throws to Bran-
don Moseby-Felder (18 yards) and Kyle Carter (16).
After three Zwinak carries gets it to the 1, McGloin is
again successful in getting low and driving over the
goal line for the score, his fourth rushing TD of the
season. PSU 28, UIUC 7.
FOURTH QUARTER
PSU -- Zwinak 1-yard run (Ficken kick), 14:03.
Drive: 7 plays, 50 yards, 2:03. Analysis: Penn State
finishes off a physical overpowering of the Illini by
having Zwinak finish things off. The emerging soph-
omore gets four straight carries to open the fourth
quarter, andtheres noneedtosneak it this time. The
score puts Zwinak at exactly 100 yards for the game,
the most by a Penn State player on the ground this
season. And it was set up by -- guess who -- Mauti,
anglingfor national defensiveplayer of theweekhon-
ors after his second interception of the day. PSU35,

PSU coach Bill OBrien
On linebacker Michael Mauti
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- ESPN
cameras lingered at midfield,
looking for the typical pregame
pleasantries between two head
coaches.
They left disappointed.
For three hours on Saturday,
Penn States Bill OBrien and
Illinois TimBeckman barely
acknowledged each other. And
that general disgust by the
coaches carried over to the
players, creating a tense and
heated atmosphere throughout
the game.
Only at the end of the Nittany
Lions 35-7 win did the two step
within 20 yards of each other,
giving a handshake so brief, Bill
Belichick would be impressed.
The Big Ten mandates -- or at
least strongly encourages -- that
its coaches shake hands after
games.
The story is known well
enough. In July, OBrien was
furious that coaches fromIlli-
nois flewto State College 48
hours after NCAAsanctions
came down, looking to recruit
away Penn State players.
Our players are in our build-
ing right nowand they dont
want to leave the building,
OBrien said at the time. Be-
cause there are coaches from
other schools in the parking lot
waiting to see them.
But that was the last time
OBrien said anything publicly
about the situation.
That didnt change Saturday.
Ive said my peace on that in
the summertime, OBrien said
after the win. The sanctions
are what they are. The people
who recruited our kids played
within the rules. But at the end
of the day we came here and
played a good football game
against a tough team.
You guys can figure the rest
out.
Pretty much.
Beckman said this week that
he did not regret sending his
staff to Penn State but that he
did regret the stir that it caused.
Both teams responded on the
field with a physical and chippy
game. Lions safety Stephen
Obeng-Agyapong laid a hard hit
on tailback Donovonn Young
right in front of the Illinois
sideline in the early going and
was quickly escorted away by a
teammate after the junior start-
ed jawing at Illini players.
Things ratched up late in the
second quarter when Illinois
safety Earnest Thomas deliver-
ed a particularly vicious shot to
Penn State tight end Matt Leh-
man.
Lehman hauled in a touch-
down pass over the middle and
took a step into the end zone
before Thomas launched and
caught himon the chin with the
crown of his helmet.
I blacked out a little bit. My
vision was a little messed up,
said Lehman, who was dazed
enough to not hear that Thomas
was ejected for the hit. They
took my helmet fromme when I
was on the sideline and I was
done for the rest of the half.
That half ended with players
fromboth teams coming togeth-
er on the way to their locker
rooms. The entire officiating
crewformed a barrier in be-
tween themand what had the
potential for a brawl was dif-
fused after 45 seconds.
I was trying to play peace-
maker, Lions linebacker Mi-
chael Mauti said. Imnot sure
exactly what happened. People
just got tangled up in the pile.
Infirmary report
Lehman was evaluated at
halftime and cleared to return
by Penn States medical staff.
After snagging the touchdown
in the first half, he added four
more catches after returning
and led the Lions in catches
(five) and receiving yards (70).
Obeng-Agyapong also left the
game at the start of the second
half with apparent cramps in his
left knee. He was carted off and
did not return.
Defensive end Pete Massaro
(shoulder, knee) did not make
the trip.
One Cougar for another
True freshman linebacker
NyeemWartman also stayed
back in State College while
recovering froma knee injury.
But Valley ViewHigh school
was still represented in Cham-
paign as junior fullback J.R.
Refice made the trip for the
Lions. It was the former Cou-
gars first road trip in four years
with the Lions.
OBrien said this week that he
wanted to reward the top scout
teamplayers for the week with a
spot on the 70-man travel roster.
(Refice) had a great week of
practice and he deserves to be
out there with us, OBrien said
Thursday on his radio show.
Rules refresher
Out of all the debates over
Illinois summer recruiting
tactics, only reserve offensive
lineman Ryan Nowicki actually
defected to the Illini.
Nowicki did not play against
his old team.
Hes being redshirted this
year, so I didnt speak to him
(Saturday), Beckman said.
Reminded that Nowicki had
already used his redshirt season
in 2011while at Penn State,
Beckman simply shrugged and
replied, Hes just not ready
yet.

Sporting gesture hollow after summer
By DEREK LEVARSE

Illinois head coach Tim Beckman looks on from the sidelines
during the second half Saturday against Penn State in Cham-
paign, Ill.
L O C A L C O L L E G E F O O T B A L L
EDWARDSVILLE It was
almost two years ago to the
day that quarterback Alex
George began his collegiate
career at Wilkes with a tremen-
dous come-from-behind victory
to help coach Frank Sheptock
become the schools all-time
winningest coach.
On Saturday, George was at
it again to help his coach reach
a milestone.
With the Colonels trailing by
10 points in the fourth quarter,
George orchestrated three
touchdown drives in the
games final 11 minutes, the
Wilkes defense stiffened and
the Colonels pulled out a 37-27
win over FDU-Florham as
Sheptock earned career win
No. 100.
The Wilkes (2-2, 1-2 MAC)
offense also set a high, piling
up a school-record 667 yards.
The win came after the Colo-
nels gave up 90 points in a loss
to Widener last week.
Sheptock was humbled by
the victory and said that what
made the win satisfying is all
the support he got from former
players and coaches, current
coaches of other programs and
others that he has met
throughout the years who
reached out to him after the
bad loss a week ago.
The 100 thing Im very
proud of but Im more proud of
the support I received leading
up to this, Sheptock said.
Anyone can call and say con-
gratulations on your 100th
win. But when youre coming
off the toughest day that
youve ever had as a coach, and
people are reaching out to you
then, thats when you know
you got something special.
Unlike the game in 2010
when George had a hand in the
last four touchdowns to over-
come a 22-point deficit in the
final 15 minutes, he had plenty
of support this time around in
the fourth quarter. With the
Devils (1-3, 1-2 MAC) holding
a 27-17 advantage and time
running out in the fourth, all
the junior QB had to do was
hand the ball off to Calvin
Garvin or Andrew Regan or
just keep it himself. Garvin
pulled the score to within
27-24 with a 14-yard dash to
the end zone and 11:09 left on
the clock.
The Devils offense contin-
ued to put pressure on Wilkes,
driving 49 yards on their next
possession, but Wilkes de-
fense started to make a stand.
Linebacker Tate Moore-Jacobs
forced and recovered a fumble
to get the ball back in Georges
hands.
When the Colonels regained
possession, Garvin had two big
runs and Regan capped the
seven-play, 78-yard drive with
a 2-yard TD to put the Colo-
nels in front 31-27.
Again, Wilkes defense made
a stand as Paul Gaffney picked
off a pass to get the ball back.
This time on offense, George
completed a short pass to
Justin Pellowski and let the
sophomore playmaker do all
the work, as he dragged a
defender nearly 20 yards into
the end zone on the 46-yard
scoring strike to give the Colo-
nels a 10-point lead.
This junior and senior
class, weve come back before.
We knew we could do it, Ge-
orge said. When I look back
at my college career and see
things I did for coach Sheptock
for our junior and senior
class, to be able to be there for
Coach Shep during those great
moments is something.
FDU tried one more time to
get moving, but quarterback
Mike Santos, who was pres-
sured the entire game fresh-
man linebacker Jason Ugwu,
was brought down by Ugwu
for the second time in the
game to secure the victory.
After allowing 90 points the
week before, the Colonels did
allow 440 total yards, but the
players stepped up when need-
ed. Moore-Jacobs tallied a
team-high 10 tackles, Ty Cun-
ningham added an intercep-
tion, and Ugwu and Michael
Paskas each had three tackles
for loss.
We showed the ability to
stop a team in the fourth quar-
ter and that really gave us
great momentum, Sheptock
added. I think if we limit the
big plays were giving up, we
can be pretty good on defense.
But we have to stop those long
ones.
Garvin, a 5-foot-6, 154-pound
junior that has seen limited
playing time, racked up a
game-high 162 yards on the
ground on just 16 touches and
a pair of TDs. George finished
the game completing 12 of 23
passes for 232 yards and ran
for 89.
Widener 40,
Lebanon Valley 37, OT
The Pride rallied from a
37-21 deficit with 5:44 left in
the fourth quarter, scoring the
games final 19 points to pull
out the victory.
Quarterback Chris Haupt
was picked off three times and
passed for 257 yards and one
touchdown, but the score
started the comeback.
Lebanon Valley signal-caller
Leo Kyte had a big game,
throwing for 395 yards and
two touchdowns.

WILLIAMSPORT For three
of out of its first four games,
Kings has had success running
the ball.
On Saturday, the Monarchs
couldnt get the ball moving on
the ground, rushing for 36 yards
as they fell to Lycoming 33-10.
Lycoming (4-1, 4-0 MAC) got
off to a great start as quarterback
Tyler Jenny hooked up with Jar-
rin Campman for a 78-yard scor-
ing strike on the first play from
scrimmage to take a 7-0 lead. The
Warriors got a pair of scoring
runs from Craig Needhammer in
the first half to open a 20-0 lead.
The first score was from 5 yards
out with 6:42 left in the first quar-
ter. Needhammers second TD
came with12:42 remaining in the
second quarter.
Then Kings (1-4, 1-3) started
to get things going. Kyle
McGrath capped a 10-play, 79-
yarddrivewitha7-yardTDrunto
trim the lead to 20-7. Jenny was
intercepted on the next Lycom-
ing drive by Billy Beinke with
1:37left inthe first half. The Mon-
archs responded by driving 42
yards for a 20-yard field goal by
Kevin Mulvihill and a 20-10 def-
icit heading into the half.
But thats all the Kings offense
wouldbe able tomuster onthe af-
ternoon.
The Warriors meanwhile got
twomore scores inthe thirdquar-
ter to seal the victory.
Beinke also added a sack, a
pass breakup and a tackle for a
loss to go with his two tackles on
the afternoon.
Quarterback Tyler Hartranft
had a solid game for the Mon-
archs completing 19 of 34 passes
for 268 yards and one intercep-
tion. His favorite target was
Adam Kudlacik, who hauled in
five passes for 67 yards.

The Times Leader staff
DALLAS Quiet and soft-spo-
ken, K.K. Smith took some con-
gratulatory pats fromteammates
as theStevensonUniversitysoph-
omore talked with members of
the media.
Never once did he take credit
for his play at Mangelsdorf Field,
deflecting the attention to the
meninthe trenches.
Theyaretheones whoopened
theholes,hesaid. Ijustfollowed
my blocks, and hit the big holes.
They dida great job.
Smithwas being modest.
The sophomore ran for 234
yards and three touchdowns as
Stevenson jumped out to a 13-0
lead after one quarter and added
15 fourth-quarter points in a 35-7
victory Saturday afternoon in a
battle of two fledgling programs.
Stevenson, in only its second
season, picked up its first win of
theyear. Misericordia, initsopen-
ing year on the gridiron, contin-
ues to make positives strides.
It means a lot to get the first
win,Smithsaid. I wishwecould
have gotten it a few games ago,
though.
Its a simple equation, really.
The Mustangs had one too many
playmakers.
StevensonhadSmith, anexplo-
sive athlete who poseda threat to
scoreanytimehis hands wrapped
aroundthe pigskin.
That was clearly evident when
head coach Ed Hottle chose to go
for a fourth-and-1 on the Mus-
tangs opening drive in the first
quarter. Smith broke through the
line, andwent untouchedstraight
down the middle of the field for a
45-yardscore.
On the Mustangs next drive,
Anthony Smith made an out-
standing one-handed, over-the-
shouldercatchwhilemanagingto
keep one foot inbounds for a 33-
yardcompletion.
I dont think we out-athleted
them, Hottle said. I think we
just out-experiencedthem.
Hottle understands what Mark
Ross is going through. Probably
better thananyother coachinthe
conference.
It was last season where Ste-
vensonwas startinga lineupof al-
most all freshmen in the Mus-
tangs opening campaign of foot-
ball.
The headcoachwill admit its a
work inprogress eachday.
I dont think people under-
stand how hard this is, Hottle
said. Hes coach. Hes dad. Hes
guidance counselor. Hes cheer-
leader. Hes psychologist. Hes ev-
erything wrapped in one with
these guys. Its hard, and we still
gothroughit. Igethomeat10p.m.
or11p.m. andI amjust emotional-
ly and physically exhausted. Its
trying and tough, but it pays off.
You can see his team is working
hard. The day is going to come
where youwill see it pay off.
Right now, its about the little
mistakes.
Ones that kill drives or start
them on the wrong side of the
sticks.
Misericordias biggest issue
was penalties, starting off almost
everydriveof thefirst half withan
illegal motionor false start call.
I told our kids that it cant be
first-and-15 every time, Cougars
coachMarkRoss said. We hadto
eliminate those penalties, and if
we did, I felt that we hada chance
to do some things offensively. In
thesecondhalf, wedidabetterjob
of doing those things, and we
moved the football. I thought we
played hard for 60 minutes, and
thats all we canask of them.

S P O R T S
LEHMAN TWP. Lake-Leh-
man saw how quickly a close
game could sour just after half-
time in its season opener. It saw
just the opposite Saturday after-
noon during its homecoming
game against Meyers.
The Black Knights scored 30
third-quarter points, erasing a
halftime deficit and any hopes of
a Meyers upset in their 50-29
victory.
Lehman improved to 4-1 over-
all, maintaining its spots atop
the Wyoming Valley Conference
Division 2A-A and District 2
Class 2A standings. Meyers fell
to 2-3.
Back on Aug. 30, Lehman
trailedOldForge bythree at half-
time. The Black Knights lost 50-
14 by allowing 29 third-quarter
points.
Saturdays game followed a
similar patternbut withLehman
as the beneficiary.
OldForge is a hell of a team
we knew that, Lehman coach
Jerry Gilsky said. To come out
in the second half like we did
against Old Forge, thats a team
you cant make the mistakes we
did.
Meyers led 14-13 going into
halftime as Nate Mahalak re-
turned an interception 37 yards
for a score and Matt DeMarco
added a 20-yard TD reception
with1:12 left in the second quar-
ter.
The team wasnt like Here
we go again with that intercep-
tions for the score, Gilsky said.
We kept our kids positive.
Lehman running back Dustin
Jones was certainly a good way
to create optimism. The 240-
pound junior, who finished with
228 yards, scored on a 23-yard
runat 8:00 of the thirdfor a 21-14
lead. Josh Sayre returned an in-
terception 38 yards for a touch-
down three plays later, boosting
the advantage to 28-14.
Meyers Zahir Dunell then
capped a wild 69-second span of
the quarter by returning the en-
suing kickoff 81 yards for a
touchdown. But it was the last
time the Mohawks would score
until early in the fourth quarter.
That gap gave Lehman suffi-
cient time to pull away. Or more
precisely, smash away. Jones
continued to bowl through the
line for scores of 17 and 5 yards.
Neither run, though, was as im-
pressive as his 12-yard score in
the second that left three Mo-
hawks sprawled on the field.
Hes not the fastest kid in the
world, but hes bruiser, Gilsky
said. He keeps his feet going.
Every week, we still have to
coach him up. You got to keep
himlow(when) hestarts getting
tired. But hes a luxury to have
him in the backfield, dont get
me wrong.
Prior tothose twoscores, Tom
Donovan picked his way for a12-
yard TDrun. The final toll of the
thirdledto a 43-21advantage en-
tering the fourth.
Meanwhile, Meyers time on
the field was spent moving for-
ward just a touch more than
moving backward. The Mo-
hawks totaled 126 yards of of-
fense and 120 yards in penalties.
They were flagged 16 times
now 27 times in their last two
games.
Penalties and turnovers, I
dont knowhowmany we had in
the third quarter, Meyers coach
Corry Hanson said, but that
first drive we had two penalties
that put us in a first-and-20. Its
tough, especially with a young
team. But Imnot making excus-
es. Lake-Lehman played a great
game. But with penalties and
turnovers, its tough to win
games.

Wilkes strong at BU tournament
WILKES-BARRE On the
slimchance Holy Redeemer was
hoping for a miraculous come-
back, Corey Moore came back in
the game.
And when he did, all doubts
about the outcome endedonone
play.
Moore went deep downfield
with his fourth touchdown pass
of the night early in the fourth
quarter Saturday, putting an end
to Redeemers second-half upris-
ing and pretty much securing
GARs 65-28 victory at Wilkes-
Barre Memorial Stadium.
Our speed killed them,
Moore said.
So did Moores arm.
The GAR quarterback threw
for 264 yards, scored on a 1-yard
touchdownrunandfiredscoring
strikes of 29, 14, 14 and 51 yards
while leading GARs scoring
rampage.
His last one was the most curi-
ous, though.
With GAR holding a 50-20
lead and its subs inserted for a
good portion of the second half,
Moore and the first-teamers re-
entered for one play.
Thats all it took for Moore to
find Lucas Benton in the end
zone for a second time, rifling a
51-yard bomb to the end zone.
Rich Sickler followed that with a
conversion run, boosting GARs
advantage to 58-20.
We were playing our game,
not to snub anybody, GAR
coach Paul Wiedlich said. They
(the Royals) showed theyre not
going to quit. That (Moore-to-
Benton) is a staple of our of-
fense. We feel (if) they still want
to play, were going to play.
The Grenadiers made more
than enough big plays all night.
Benton, who caught 157 yards
worth of passes, grabbed the
first two scoring strikes and add-
ed a 28-yard touchdown run as
GAR built a 44-6 halftime lead.
Luke Height hit a 24-yard field
goal as time expired in the first
half, and GAR opened the sec-
ond half with a 1-yard touch-
down pass by Rashaun Mathis.
But Redeemer roared back, as
Jimmy Strickland gunned a 79-
yard touchdown bomb and
whipped a 13-yard touchdown
toss to get the Royals relatively
close.
Thats when Moore and GAR
put the hammer down on all
comeback hopes.
They have a lot of heart,
Moore said of the Royals. They
dont give up. You just have to
keep fighting.

NEW YORK Flat Out made
his first win of the year a big one,
edging Stay Thirsty in the final
strides to take the $1 million
Jockey Club Gold Cup on Satur-
day at Belmont Park.
Flat Out won the Gold Cup last
year, but was 0for 6until overtak-
ing Stay Thirsty two jumps from
the finishto give trainer Bill Mott
his second Grade 1 victory on a
day that featured six graded
stakes races.
Earlier, Motts 4-5 favorite Roy-
al Delta beat rival Its Tricky by

2 lengths in the Beldame Invita-
tional.
Ridden by Joel Rosario, the 6-
year-old Flat Out challenged
pace-setter Stay Thirsty when
the 10-horse field turned for
home, and closed the margin
with every stride before putting
his head in front at the wire.
Whitney Invitational winner
and 5-2 favorite Fort Larned was
third, followed by Atigun, Fast
Falcon, Ron the Greek, Game
Ball, Hymn Book, San Pablo and
Ruler On Ice.
The winning time for the 1

In other stakes races, The
Lumber Guy won the Vosburgh,
Nahraintook the Flower Bowl In-
vitational, 4-5 favorite Point of
Entry won the Joe Hirsch Turf
Classic, and Jersey Town was an
upset winner in the Grade 2 Kel-
so Handicap.
Hall of Fame jockeyJohnVelaz-
quez was aboard three Grade 1

The winning horses in each of
the six stakes races earned auto-
matic berths inthe Breeders Cup

What good are ya? Yer team pays ya a hefty

cency to throw one of

(EDITORS
NOTE: We have

great expense. Thank
God.)
Ahhh, the beauty
of replacements.
Sometimes they work
out -- Kurt Warner
replacing Trent
Green for the 99
Rams. And some-
times they dont -- did
someone mention the
Packers-Seahawks
game?
In fantasy football,
with the first week of
byes upon us, and the injuries piling up,
replacements are invaluable. They become
your lifeboat to get your team through the
lean times. These three replacements may
not even see the field today, but the starters
in front of them have been banged up and
have durability issues. Eventually, they will
prove valuable for your team.
Tashard Choice, RB, Bills. With Fred
Jackson and C.J. Spiller hurting, Choice may
be the Bills choice at RB. He had some
success in spot starts as a Cowboy and filled
in nicely last week. If there comes a time
when Jackson or Spiller cant go, you may
have a Choice matchup down the road.
Shaun Hill, QB, Lions. If Matthew Stafford
ever misses any time, Shaun Hill can really
help out. Hill filled in for Stafford in 2010
and did a fine job -- and it certainly helps if
he has Calvin Johnson to throw to.
Daniel Thomas, RB, Dolphins. Recom-
mending anyone on the Dolphins not named
Reggie Bush is risky the offense is a work
in progress. But it is a RUN-oriented work in
progress. And that means Thomas will
be the man as long as Bush is sidelined.
QUICK PICK-ME-UPS
Mikel Leshoure, RB, Lions. Chances
are someones scooped him up by now,
but if they havent .. GO GET HIM IM-
MEDIATELY! Barring injury, he will be a
top-10 fantasy back by years end.
Jerome Simpson, WR, Vikings. Earned
himself a three-game suspension when
police found lots and lots of marijuana in his
house. Hes back now and he could earn
himself fantasy stardom as an athletic com-
plement to Percy Harvin.
T.Y. Hilton, WR, Colts. Some nice presea-
son moments put him on the map. His Week
3 effort put him on the radar. Now, with
Austin Collie out for the year, Hilton has the
makings of a fantasy gem.
START THESE GUYS
Arizona defense. The Cardinals have been
taking nasty lessons from the 49ers de-
fense. Theyre quickly turning into an every
week start, but this week they have an espe-
cially tasty matchup with Miami.
Christian Ponder, QB, Vikings. Jake Lock-
er threw for a thousand yards against the
Lions, so theres no reason Ponder cant as
well.
Vincent Jackson, WR, Buccaneers. If you
look up streaky in the dictionary youll see
this: streak-y, adjective \stree-kee\ 1: What
Vincent Jackson is. ... The good news,
against the Redskins, this will be one of
Jacksons good streak weeks.
NOT THESE
Chris Johnson, RB, Titans. For some
reason, the coaching staff just doesnt want
him to get the ball. He had all of ONE carry
in the second quarter Sunday 14 for the
game. And that was against a bad defense
when his team had a lead. This week will be
a debacle from the start.
Anyone on St. Louis. Lost in the chaos of
how Monday nights game ended is the fact
that Seattles defense is downright vicious.
They pretty much shut down Green Bays
big boy offense. And the Rams are nowhere
as good as the Packers.
Mark Sanchez, QB, Jets. Sanchez will
have his good weeks. And his bad. This will
be one of the bad.
FANTASY SPORTS
R I C H S H E P O S H
Time to find
some injury
replacements
Did you pick Vick?
Dont worry, its not
as bad as it seems.
But it will be.
Let me explain.
Hes too talented to
stink it up every
week, and he WILL
have a great game
soon. When he
does, do your best
to move him. Hes
also taking a
pounding out there
and wont be
healthy down the
stretch.
ONE FACT
TO KNOW
>> VIKINGS VS. LIONS: The Lions were
supposed to be the up-and-coming team in
the NFC North. Instead, theyre 1-2 with a
banged up QB and a defense that makes
the French army in WWII look stout. The
Vikings were supposed to be cannon fodder
for the Packers, Bears and Lions, but
theyre 2-1 with a pleasant surprise at QB
and a quality win over the 49ers. Vegas
says Detroit is favored by 6. Confucius say:
Ahhh. Predictability is quite unpredictable
in todays NFL. Take the points.
>> OAKLAND VS. DENVER: Winter arrives
quicker in the Mile-High City than it does in
most places. The average date for the first
snow in Denver is Oct. 19. The earliest snow
game in Bronco history happened on Oct.
15, 1984, when the Packers and Broncos
slogged through a foot of the white stuff on
Monday Night Football. In local lore, the
game would be called, appropriately
enough, The Bronco Blizzard. So, with the
earliest snowfall in Denver recorded on
Sept. 3, 1961, the possibility exists for a
memorable game today, right? Ehhh. No.
The forecast calls for sunny skies with a
high of 72. Sorry.
>> SAINTS VS. PACKERS: The experts
always take the easy route when looking
for ways to analyze an NFL game -- QB
matchups, coaching strategies, etc. Anyone
can do that. It takes courage to break down
a game using things like beer and grub.
New Orleans brings a spicy crustacean-
based menu to the table with dishes like
the pompous sounding crawfish touffe.
And to wash down all those French letters,
the city offers local microbrews such as
Hopitoulas and 7th St. Wheat. In Green Bay,
they have cheddar-stuffed bratwurst and
beer with names like Dark Hel-
met Schwartzbier and
Rye the Helles. Now
THOSE are beer names!
Advantage: Packers.
>>
N.Y. GIANTS VS.
EAGLES: When
two teams have
as heated a
rivalry as
these guys,
theres bound
to be some
mind-searing
memories created
over the years. But of all the head-scratch-
ing and jaw-dropping plays theyve inflicted
on each other, were going to focus on ... a
PUNT? It was Dec. 3, 1989, and the Eagles
were backed up near their goal line. QB
Randall Cunningham dropped back and ...
punted. The ball hit about the Giants 40-
yard line and rolled ... rolled ... rolled ... and
when it was done rolling, rolled some more.
When it stopped, Cunningham had a 91-yard
punt to his credit the fourth longest in
NFL history. The change in field position
helped the Eagles win, 24-17.
>> BEARS VS. COWBOYS: Are you are a
fan of the Chicago Bears? Then you can
thank the makers of fine food starch prod-
ucts for their existence. Da Bears, you see,
were originally called Da Staleys the
Decatur Staleys as a matter of fact. In 1919,
the team was named after its founder,
the A. E. Staley food starch compa-
ny of Decatur, Ill. (See how that
works.) The Staleys moved to
Chicago in 1921 and found a
more menacing name the next
year. Although, if you want
menacing, the Bears
logo from1954 to 1973
was anything but. It
looks like the Bear
was looking for a good
place to take a nap.

OUT DOORS
NOT ES
T
he concept is the same as one of
those drive-thrus safaris at an
amusement park.
But thats where the similarities end.
The Pennsyvania Game Commission
tour of State Game Lands 57, whichwill
be heldonOct. 7, gives the public the
opportunity to drive throughthe heart
of the 49,500 wilderness inLuzerne and
Wyoming counties.
But insteadof feeding peanuts
throughyour windowto giraffes, this
safari encourages participants to hop
out of the car, put your feet onthe
groundandget a firsthandlook at one of
the largest wilderness areas inthe re-
gion.
For decades, the agency has been
opening up its game lands andgiving
the public a chance to what a true wild
area has to offer. Between500 and600
people turnout annually for the SGL57
tour.
Andwhenit comes to diversity, SGL
57 tops the list.
The14-mile driving tour, whichtakes
about two hours to complete, will guide
visitors througha variety of wildlife
habitats andhistorical sites.
Youll see beaver ponds, a post that
has beenclawedby a black bear, one of
the largest redspruce stands inthe
state, waterfowl ponds anddeer exclo-
sures.
The exclosure fence was constructed
aroundanarea recently timberedto
prevent deer andother wildlife from
browsing onthe regenerating trees.
While speaking withPGCinformation
andeducationsupervisor Bill Williams
about the tour, I was surprisedto learn
that hunting is allowedinside the exclo-
sures. Various gates along the fence
allowaccess, andthey close automat-
ically after someone enters. Because
trees oftenfall onto the fence, allowing
deer to enter, the exclosures may offer
some surprisingly goodhunting oppor-
tunities.
Also important along the tour are the
habitat projects andfoodplots conduct-
edby the NorthMountainBranchof
Quality Deer Management Association,
Wyoming Valley Chapter of Ducks Un-
limited, the RedRock Chapter of the
National WildTurkey Federationand
PGCpersonnel. Members of eachorga-
nizationwill be onhandto showoff
their work, whichincludes foodplots
plantedwithclover, brassica andsoy-
beans plantedby QDMA. The lower
beanimpoundment features a water
control device paidfor by Ducks Un-
limited, usedto raise andlower water
levels to aidwaterfowl nesting and
provide access to foodsources.
The crabapple trees comprising an
orchardfive miles into the tour were
purchasedby the RedRock Chapter and
plantedin2007. The trees provide a
valuable late fall foodsource for deer,
turkey andbear all of whichmay be
seenduring the tour.
Other wildlife that call SGL57 home
include baldeagle, osprey, fisher, bobcat
andotter.
But what makes the SGL57 tour truly
unique, inadditionto the size of the area
andthe habitat work, is the history it
contains. The tour starts andends at the
oldtownof Ricketts. Williams saidthe
lumber townwas built in1890s anddied
in1913 whenthe timber was gone.
Its a ghost townnow, but youcan
walk aroundandexplore the area,
Williams said.
If youdo, look for the foundations of
the oldhotel, lumber mill andblack-
smithshop. What is nowmounds of
concrete andstone amidthe trees and
brushwas once the site of a thriving
industrial towna century ago.
This game lands has a lot to offer
wetlands, deep woods andhistory,
Williams said.
Andtheres no better way to see than
trekking into the heart of this wilder-
ness.

Mike Webb grew tired of
technology.
After hunting with a com-
pound bow for years, Webb
was fed up with spending
valuable hunting time repair-
ing any of the numerous
gadgets that were prone to
breaking.
He also grew bored with
the compound as improving
technology made it easier to
place arrows in the bullseye
one after another.
The challenge was gone.
With all the technology
that comes with a compound,
I just felt like I was missing
something, the Susquehanna
County resident said. It was
getting way too easy.
Thats when Webb took a
step back in time.
Four years ago, he had an
opportunity to target shoot
with a friends recurve bow.
Webb always had an interest
in traditional archery but
never had a chance to try it
out.
When he did, the results
convinced him to give up the
technology-laden compound.
Webbs switch to traditional
archery didnt happen over-
night, however. He compared
the switch to buying a car
tons of research is needed
and dont jump at the first
bow you find.
In fact, getting off to the
wrong start has created the
misbelief that traditional
archery is extremely difficult
and time-consuming, which leads
some to not even bother with the
sport.
They get discouraged, Webb said.
As long as you get the right start, it
will be a wonderful experience.
The right start includes finding a
bow with a suitable draw weight,
matching arrow weight to the bow
and learning proper shooting tech-
nique.
If you think youre going to go to
a store and buy a recurve and arrows,
and youll be shooting bullseyes right
away, youll have a real rough go of
it, Webb said.
With a traditional bow such as a
recurve, Webb advised dropping down
to a draw weight that is 15 to 20
pounds less than what youre comfort-
able shooting with a compound.
With traditional, now youre shoot-
ing a bow zero let-off and you have
to hold it, he said. Its not difficult
if you drop down 15 or 20 pounds.
Because arrows and broadheads
used for traditional archery are heavi-
er, Webb said its crucial to match
them to the draw weight of your
bow.
The heavier arrows and broadheads,
he said, allow for a truer flight and
also quiet the bow down when shoot-
ing.
There are also adjustments that
need to be made when it comes time
to actually shoot the bow. With tradi-
tional archery, there are no sights,
whisker biscuits or stabilizers to help
improve accuracy. Instead, traditional
archery is all about instinctive shoot-
ing and hand-eye coordination, Webb
said.
Distance doesnt come into play
unless the shot is too far, he said.
Twenty-five yards is the furthest I
would even think about. You only
take the high-percentage shots, and
thats something every archer, regard-
less of the bow that they use, should
do.
And then comes the focus. When
its time to shoot, Webb said all focus
and attention must be placed onto a
small spot such as the single hair
of a deer.
The technology is gone and its
back to you and the deer. Everything
you have has to be focused on that
little spot where you want your arrow
to go, he said.
Now in his fourth year of hunting
with a recurve, Webb said he isnt
going back to the compound and its
technology. With the recurve, Webb
said hes gotten back to the origins of
archery and thats where hed like to
stay.
Theres a peacefulness when you
go out with a recurve, he said. Its
totally different than a compound,
and with the right start it can be just
as much, if not more, rewarding.
Youre getting back to what archery is
supposed to be.
A different aim
Ed Krystofosky, owner of The Archery Zone in Larksville, shoots a recurve bow at the indoor
range in his shop. Krystofosky said more young people are getting into traditional archery after it
was featured in the movie The Hunger Games.
About archery
The fall archery season runs from Sept.
20 to Nov. 12. Archery hunters may choose
to use a long, recurve or compound bow,
or a crossbow. Bows must have a draw
weight of at least 35 pounds; crossbows
must have a minimum drawn weight of at
least 125 pounds. Broadheads on either an
arrow or a bolt must have an outside
diameter or width of at least seven-eighths
inches with at least two cutting edges on
the same plane throughout the length of
the cutting surface, and shall not exceed
three inches in length.
Hunters may use illuminated nocks for
arrows and bolts; they aid in tracking or
locating the arrow or bolt after being
launched. However, transmitter-tracking
arrows still are illegal. It also remains
illegal to use dogs to track wounded deer.
Archery on the rise
Ed Krystofosky, owner of The Archery
Zone in Larksville, said he sees traditional
archery growing in popularity among
young adults. He attributes the increase to
the recent movie The Hunger Games,
which features traditional archery.
When it comes to those who hunt with a
recurve or longbow, he said there arent
many but the numbers can be deceiving.
The traditional archery hunters are
kind of reclusive and stick to their own
thing, Krystofosky said. They dont
announce to the world what they do.
Krystofosky teaches traditional archery
at his shop and also hunts deer with a
recurve. Getting started with a traditional
bow is less expensive than a compound, he
said, but getting off on the right foot is
imperative.
Traditional archery is an art,
Krystofosky said.
Most important is getting the right
poundage first, and then you need to
match the arrows to the bow.
After that, you need to practice every
day. You cant just start shooting and
expect to be good. It takes dedication.

After years of hunting, Mike
Webb went to a traditional bow
and he hasnt looked back.
The technology is gone and its back to you and the deer.
Everything you have has to be focused
on that little spot where you want your arrow to go.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission
board held its quarterly meeting last week
in Franklin County. Below is a summary of
board actions taken during the meeting:
Gave preliminary approval to a regu-
latory change to expand antlerless deer
hunting opportunities under the Mentored
Youth Hunting Program for the 2013-14
license year. The change permits the trans-
fer of no more than one Deer Management
Assistance Program (DMAP) permit to a
mentored youth hunter per license year.
If the change is given final approval at a
subsequent board meeting, beginning in
the 2013-14 license year, adult mentors
would be authorized to transfer one DMAP
harvest permit issued to them to an eligi-
ble mentored youth.
Gave final approval to a regulatory
change that amends the list of state en-
dangered and threatened species to reflect
the current status of breeding bird pop-
ulations in the state. The upland sandpiper
was added to the states endangered spe-
cies list, while the northern harrier and
long-eared owl were placed on the states
list of threatened birds.
Gave final approval to a regulatory
change to address violations of possessing,
maintaining, operating, occupying or trav-
eling on an all-terrain vehicle or snow-
mobile in violation of the states Vehicle
Code (Title 75), giving wildlife conserva-
tion officers the authority to enforce sum-
mary offenses of the title, including lack of
registration and insurance.
Gave approval to increase deputy
wildlife conservation officer compensation
from $65 per diem to $80 per diem, effec-
tive Oct. 1.
Recommitted its support for legisla-
tion that would legalize the use of blood
tracking dogs for hunters to recover
wounded deer and bear.
OUTDOOR NEWS
DOVER, Del. Could it real-
ly be true love between Denny
Hamlin and Dover?
So far, its at least a crush.
His performance Sunday will
really determine the fate of this
relationship.
Trying his
best to adjust
his approach
toward his
least favorite
track, Hamlins
reignited court-
ship produced
fantastic re-
sults Saturday
when he turned a lap of 159.299
mph to win the pole at Dover
International Speedway.
Hamlin has been open in his
disdain for the 1-mile concrete
oval and knew hed have to con-
quer his Dover demons to keep
his driven bid for his first career
Cup championship rolling along.
Hamlin, third in the points
standings, turned to a sports
psychologist for advice. The
message for Hamlin was this,
Let your challenge for the week
be to fall in love with this track.
Hamlin says the good karma,
and a great No. 11 Toyota, all
played a part in the turnaround.
I think that right now we
have everything rolling, Hamlin
said. That part of it is giving
me a ton of confidence.
Hamlin is six points behind
Brad Keselowski and seven
points behind leader Jimmie
Johnson.
Johnson starts 11th as he chas-
es history at Dover. He raced his
way into the tracks history
books in June with his seventh
win on the concrete, matching
the mark held by Hall of Fame
drivers Richard Petty and Bobby
Allison.
No active driver owns the
track like the five-time Sprint
Cup champion. Johnson led 289
of the 400 laps and looked every
bit like the driver who swept the
two Cup races at Dover in 2002
and 2009. Johnson also won at
Dover on Sept. 26, 2010 and he
won the September 2005 race.
Dover has traditionally given
Hamlin fits. He has an average
finish of 20.5 in 13 career starts
at Dover. He finished 36th or
worse during a four-race stretch
from 2007 to 2009. Hes said he
just doesnt like the track known
as the Monster Mile.
Hamlin won his 12th career
pole, third this season, and, no
surprise here, his first pole at
Dover. He had never started bet-
ter than third.
Nine other Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship driv-
ers filled the top 13. Clint Bo-
wyer starts second and Martin
Truex Jr. is third. Greg Biffle
and Jeff Gordon start sixth and
seventh. Kasey Kahne, Keselow-
ski, Johnson, Matt Kenseth and
Kevin Harvick are ninth through
13th. Stewart starts 24th and
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is 25th for
Sundays 400-mile race.

NEW YORK The best that
can be said about back-to-back
days of negotiations between the
NHL and the locked out players
association is that the sides are
still talking and making more
plans to meet yet again.
While core economic issues
still werent on the agenda Satur-
day when the opposing groups
got together again at the NHL of-
fice, dialogue continued on sec-
ondary topics that will ultimately
go toward forming a new collec-
tive bargaining agreement.
NHLPlayers Association head
Donald Fehr and NHL Commis-
sioner Gary Bettman held a sec-
ond round of private talks Satur-
day in an effort to move closer to
an agreement that would end the
ongoing lockout.
While negotiating teams from
the union and the league dis-
cussed definitions of what makes
up hockey-related revenue the
pool of money the sides are try-
ing to figure out how to split up
Fehr and Bettman talked
about the differences that are
keeping the sides apart.
I spent a fewminutes withGa-
ry talking about the overall situa-
tion, and we agreed to keep in
touch, Fehr said Saturday. I am
sure we will talk again (Sunday).
I dont know whether will meet
again (Sunday). That remains to
be seen.
I am not going to talk about
the specifics, but in general were
tryingtodiscuss howdowefinda
way to make an agreement. How
dowebridgethegaponthemajor
issues that are between us.
The sides met for about four
hours before finishing Saturday,
and they agreed to meet again on
Sunday. The agenda likely will in-
clude discussions on health and
safety issues a topic that made
up a chunk of Fridays talks
and miscellaneous legal things,
such as grievances, game tickets
and other topics.
Clarifications as to what will
fall under the umbrella of hockey-
related revenue going forward in
the next agreement dominated
discussions Saturday. No con-
crete resolutions were made, and
the topic could be revisited on
Sunday.
I amnot sure if we have identi-
fied discrepancies, NHL Deputy
Commissioner Bill Daly said. I
think the nature of what we were
trying to do today was to create
certainty on interpretations
weve had over seven years of this
CBA operation.
The sides talked for a second
straight day on matters separate
from the core economic issues
that ultimately will have to be
hammered out. In the recently
expired collective bargaining
agreement between the league
and the union, the players re-
ceived a 57 percent share of hock-
ey-related revenue.
The NHL wants to cut the
number down to under 50 per-
cent in the new deal. The league
imposed a lockout on Sept. 16,
whenthe previous agreement ran
out, and the sides didnt meet
again until Friday.
Their position on the big stuff
has been that a major move con-
sists of changing the players
share from a reduction of 24 per-
cent to 17
1
2 percent, Fehr said.
Our initial proposal made a
move in their direction. We have
amplified that by giving them
several different ideas to consid-
er about how to lengthen the
agreement to how to be more in
line with what they wanted.
Fehr said discussing what ex-
actly makes up hockey-related
revenue is significant, because
that will determine how much
money is there to be divided.
Today was mainly on HRR is-
sues: definitions, clarifications
and so forth, NHLPlayers Asso-
ciation special counsel Steve
Fehr said. Saturdays talks came
two days after the league can-
celed the remaining preseason
games. The regular season is
scheduled to start on Oct. 11.

Little gets accomplished, but sides are still talking
By IRA PODELL
AP Sports Writer
Coal Street.
Its attention I would not be
able to give them in Pittsburgh
running a camp.
And it could prove crucial af-
ter the lockout ends.
Last season, Bylsma said,
players with Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton connections played in
almost 200 games for Pitts-
burgh. The link between the
AHL and NHL club is vital, and
Bylsma is paying close atten-
tion to the players who no
doubt will come to Pittsburgh
and be asked to contribute at
some point.
For me to see these guys on
the ice and get to know them a
little better is really important
for me as a coach, he said.
Its also important to the
players, who dont have the
added bonus of showcasing
their talents at an NHL camp
this year.
In fact, the lockout may pro-
vide the AHL Penguins with
more opportunity in the long
run since Byslma and other
Pittsburgh management will
be giving them their undivided
attention.
The reality of it is this is
one of the best environments
they can be in, Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton head coach John
Hynes said. Its probably the
longest and most intense look
most of these guys will get.
The opportunity to skate
with the players in Wilkes-
Barre is also a benefit for By-
lsma personally. Unlike the
players, there isnt the option
to go overseas and coach. Still,
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton train-
ing camp is a way to get on the
ice and stay involved with
hockey.
I felt like a kid getting on
the ice and being able to work
with these players, he said. I
felt excited and rejuvenated.
Bylsma will stay with the
team until Sunday before head-
ing back to Pittsburgh. Pitts-
burgh assistant coach Todd
Reirden will come to town next
week to work with the team, as
will other coaches in the orga-
nization.
For all of them, the AHL of-
fers a brief escape from the
lockout that has left coaches
somewhat caught in the mid-
dle.
Theres no side for me, By-
lsma said. You spend a month-
and-a-half preparing for train-
ing camp, and Im still waiting
for that opportunity.
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
While the NHL lockout has wiped out the preseason, Pittsburgh head coach Dan Bylsma, center,
is in town to help out with Wilkes-Barre/Scrantons training camp.
BYLSMA
CAMP NOTES
With some of his players spending the lockout playing hockey
in other parts of the world, Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said it
doesnt make him nervous. I dont think of life that way, he said,
referencing his NHL playing days with Anaheim. Teemu Selanne
drove cars fast in the summertime and wrecked in Finland, but we
didnt spend the summertime worried about Teemu Selanne
driving cars.
While the lockout continues, Bylsma and his team will have to
continue their wait to redeem themselves after last seasons
disappointing first round playoff exit to the Philadelphia Flyers.
The way the series went and how it started, its not something
that would sit well with either coach, Bylsma said. Having lost
to Philly with the expectations we had, certainly made for some
soul-searching over the summer. Redeeming that situation
thats not going to come until the playoffs come around.
WBS Penguins coach John Hynes said enforcer Steve
MacIntyre could join training camp soon. Were just working out
some things contractually. Its still in the plans.

DOVER, Del. Joey Logano
dominated on the concrete to
winthe Nationwide Series race at
Dover International Speedway.
Logano raced to his series-
leading seventh victory of the
season Saturday, winning for the
16th time in Nationwide.
Paul Menard was second, fol-
lowed by Michael Annett, points
leader Elliott Sadler and Kyle
Busch.
Logano swept the Dover races
this season. He powered his way
to the leadwithsix laps left inthe
June race.
This win was easier. He led184
of the 200 laps in the No. 18 Toyo-
ta. Logano moved into a tie for
16th on the on
career victory
list in the sec-
ond-tier circuit.
My monster
trophy from
last time was
lonely and
needed a
friend, Logano said. Im glad I
was able to get one for him.
Darrell Wallace Jr. finished
12th after winning the pole earli-
er Saturday. He is the first black
driver to win a NASCAR pole in
the Nationwide Series.
Sadler has nine-point lead over
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in the points
race. Stenhouse was ninth in the
race.

Logano
account for nearly half of the
teams goals entering Fridays
game.
Its an accomplishment to
score against the boys because
a lot of them are doubting the
girls playing up front, Mosier
added. There is a little more
satisfaction knowing I beat a
boy.
They all have started at
some point this season and
have helped the team in other
ways as well.
I think they got some of
the guys to actually step it up
a little bit, GAR coach Len
Witczek said. Theyre a lot
tougher than most teams
think they are and they do
step it up a lot. Its been in-
teresting if nothing else be-
cause they are better with
their touches and guys are a
lot crisper with their passes,
so its been a good thing.
One would think that girls
playing with so many boys on
the field cant be a good thing
because the boys sport is
much more physical. And
theyre not getting any differ-
ent treatment from opponents,
either.
Ive got 12 freshmen on this
team and I was afraid they
would be a little more timid
and back off them, so I re-
minded them theyre on a
boys team and theyre going to
play just like they would any
other boy, said Meyers coach
Jack Nolan after a recent
match against the Grenadiers.
Theyre going to be as phys-
ical as they need to be be-
cause I know the girls are go-
ing to be physical with us. I
basically told them if they
knock you down, theyre going
to step on you. I told them
that they cant back off be-
cause theyre a girl.
The four girls also played on
teams with boys when they
were younger, so they were
ready for the challenge. And
although the physicality is
more daunting when there are
11 boys on the field for the
other team, they can handle it.
Theyre really pushy, unlike
the girls. But its nothing seri-
ous. Nothing to worry about,
Mosier noted. The girls can
handle themselves out there.
They have not only handled
themselves, they have impact-
ed their entire team and their
opponents.
FOURSOME
Paige Elmy is a member of the
GAR boys soccer team this
season.
from 12 feet. That gives us a
chance. Its been done before
in the past. Tomorrow is a big
day.
Only one team has ever ral-
lied from four points behind
on the final day the United
States in that famous come-
back at Brookline in 1999. Ola-
zabal remembers it well. He
was in the decisive match
when Justin Leonard rolled in
a 45-foot birdie putt on the
17th hole.
Is the Spaniard a big believ-
er in fate?
I believe momentum will
come our way, Olazabal said.
Why not tomorrow?
The final two matches Sat-
urday were a showcase of what
the Ryder Cup is all about
one brilliant shot after anoth-
er, birdies on every hole, sus-
pense at every turn.
Luke Donald and Sergio
Garcia were on the verge of
blowing a 4-up lead to hard-
charging Tiger Woods and
Steve Stricker, hanging on
when Donald matched two
birdies with Woods, including
a tee shot into the 17th that
plopped down 2 feet from the
cup.
Their 1-up win kept Woods
winless for the first time in a
Ryder Cup going into Sunday.
Woods and Stricker lost all
three of their matches, even
though Woods made five bird-
ies on the back nine for the
second straight day.
Woods was thinking more of
the big picture.
Being up four is nice, he
said. We are in a great spot
right now to win the cup.
Poulter and Rory McIlroy
were 2 down with six holes to
play against Jason Dufner and
Zach Johnson when McIlroy
made a 15-foot birdie putt on
the 13th, and Poulter took it
from there.
We had to make birdies,
and wow! Five in a row. It was
awesome, Poulter said. Ive
got the world No. 1 at my side,
backing me up. It allowed me
to hit some golf shots.
The crowd was still buzzing
as it filed out of Medinah, and
Poulter grinned.
Its pretty fun, this Ryder
Cup, said Poulter, who raised
his career record to 11-3-0.
Its been plenty fun for the
Americans, who have not lost
any of the four sessions since
the Ryder Cup switched to the
current format in 1979. Mick-
elson and Bradley were flaw-
less in foursomes, matching a
Ryder Cup record for largest
margin with a 7-and-6 win
over Donald and Lee West-
wood.
Mickelson and Bradley have
been so dominant that they
have yet to play the 18th hole
in any of their three matches.
They didnt play in the after-
noon, part of the master plan
by U.S. captain Davis Love III
to make sure his players were
fresh for Sunday. Love became
the first U.S. captain since
1979 to make sure each of his
players sat out at least one
match before the final day.
Now, he finds out if it will
work.
Were not disappointed,
Love said of the late rally by
Europe. We havent lost a seg-
ment yet, and were just going
to try to keep that string go-
ing.

and ballooning competition, the once-
mighty flagship of the Mohegan Tribal
Gaming Authority needs new lead-
ership and a new vision the colloquial
term focused like a laser could not be
more appropriate.
Those whove come to know Soper
since he arrived here in 2005 with the
mandate to turn a down-at-the-heels
harness track into a gleaming palace of
gambling and entertainment have seen
that in practice. The local Mohegan
Sun operation has grown steadily,
reaching each milestone on or under
deadline. All along the way, Sopers
insistence on putting the patron experi-
ence above other considerations has
been clear and thats surely one thing
that caught the eye of the management
in Connecticut.
We had some things in common
when my wife and I sought out Bobby
and his wife Jackies company when
they first arrived. In those early con-
versations, when I expressed reserva-
tions about gamblings social and eco-
nomic effects, he made the case that if
done properly it was a legitimate form
of entertainment for many people. I
remained skeptical, but had to admit
the gamblers I interviewed were not
the wild-eyed dupes I had imagined.
Meanwhile, Bobby seemed to devote
as much time and effort to the commu-
nity as he did to the casino, serving on
boards, hosting events and helping to
promote worthwhile causes. A lot of
businesspersons do this, and not just
for altruistic reasons. Relationships
built rubbing shoulders with the mov-
ers and shakers can come in handy
when trying to attract new business or
take out a loan. Except Soper didnt
need either; his clientele was diverse
and growing and the casino operated
like a prosperous island in a sea of
mediocrity.
Soper was more than just a fig-
urehead or a name, said Charles Bar-
ber, CEO of the Luzerne Foundation,
impressed by the commitments Soper
made at a time he had more than
enough on his plate in building a huge
business and raising a family.
Not that Bobby isnt a hard-nosed
businessman when necessary. One
example came when he led a fight
against the supposedly onerous 55
percent state tax rate on casino slot
machine revenue, going so far as to
threaten the Mohegans might pull out
if the rate wasnt lowered. It wasnt,
they stayed and both sides have done
well.
Im still not convinced gambling will
be a long-term net gain for the area;
while Soper was generous with his
time and talent and made an effort to
partner with local businesses, in the
end a casinos goal is to keep all the
money within its walls. So far there has
been little development around the
Downs property, as the casino caters to
gamblers needs with restaurants, bars
and shops that line the gaming floor.
My relationship with Soper has been
mutually beneficial, and we both know
it. I got information and access to bet-
ter tell the casinos story to readers and
he was a constant presence in the
news, carefully making the case for the
business to a skeptical public.
Community relations can work the
same way, and I hope Bobbys depar-
ture does not diminish the casinos
commitments. It is a huge economic
engine, but to be a respected member
of the community it must continue to
share its good fortune.

Halloween costume swap helps make holiday a little sweeter
A
USTIN, Texas If good help is hard to find, just how
expendable is expertise?
Ina year of strife betweenworker andmanager, NFLreferees
found themselves with a bargaining chip that Chicago teach-
ers, striking bulldozer builders and locked-out sugar makers
lacked: a staggering blunder by overmatched replacements,
resultingina worst-case, told-ya-sofiascolaidbare for millions
to watch in disbelief on na-
tional television.
On Thursday, the NFL and the ref-
erees union ended a three-month
stalemate, three days after the Green
Bay Packers lost a game they would
havewonif not for a less adept crewof
replacement officials.
The whole mess and pretty
much everyone involved agrees it is
precisely that puts the spotlight on
a nebulous notion that is often over-
looked when it works as its supposed
to: the question of expertise.
Workers leverage theirs bygoingon
strike, while lockouts are a bet by
management that they can make do
without it. Its animpasse that usually
plays out on picket lines and private
bargaining tables, and the fight has
trended in recent years toward man-
agement.
But few unions have benefited as
much as the NFLs striped shirts from
such a high-profile validation of the
value of expertise. From the Atlantic
to the Pacific, from rank-and-file la-
borers tothe most senior of American
managers, this one has hit home.
The big difference is that 100 mil-
lion people can see football on TV, so
the mistakes are glaring, said Mark
Froemeke, whos been locked out of
his job as a loader-operator at an
American Crystal Sugar Co. plant in
East Grand Forks, Minn., for 14
months.
Froemeke saidhe knows the people
hired as replacements for the 1,300
locked-out union workers inside the
plants are bumbling with beet slicers
and unable to dry pulp in techniques
passed down through generations. If

JARONU, Cuba Cubas signature
industry is showing signs of life two
years after the worst harvest in more
than a century.
With world market prices rebound-
ing, sugar is suddenly more profitable,
and a radical reorganization of the sec-
tor couldoffer a blueprint for howtolift
the rest of the islands inefficient com-
mand economy.
The Cuban sugar industry is tied to
the culture, history and identity of this
country, said Liobel Perez, spokesman
for Azcuba, the largely autonomous
state-run company that replaced the
Sugar Ministry in late 2011. Sugarcane
will not define Cubas future, but it will
have to be a part of it.
Just two years ago, the sugar indus-
try was on its knees.
The sugar minister had been sacked.
State-run newspapers lambasted ram-
pant inefficiency and thousands of
workers were moved to other sectors.
Eventually, the powerful Sugar Minis-
try itself was eliminated.
Even with the current reorganiza-
tion, sugar revenues arefar outpacedby
sectors such as tourism and nickel
mining.
Last year, sugar earnings were $333
million, while nickel brought in $1.25
billion, according to a study compiled
by Rafael Romeu, a U.S.-based econo-
mist and former president of the Asso-
ciation for the Study of the Cuban
Economy. Tourism brought in $2.5 bil-
lion in revenue in 2011, according to
government figures.
President Raul Castro created Azcu-
ba as part of his effort to stimulate the
farm sector and streamline a fossilized
Marxist economy that even he says
doesnt work anymore.
Unlike virtually every other part of
the state-dominated economy, Azcuba
gets to keep 65 percent of its revenues
and make decisions about reinvesting
without having to ask permission from
the central government.

NEWYORKStarting a business
in a tough economy taught entrepre-
neurs Chuck Tanowitz and Todd Van
Hoosear the value of time.
The duo started Fresh Ground, a
public relations firm, in Boston in
early 2010. The recession was techni-
cally over, but many companies were
still feeling its effects. That translated
to some prospective clients trying to
get something for, well, very little.
Theyquicklylearnedtostructurecon-
versations with prospective clients so
they would knowearly on howmuch
money a client was willing or able to
spend rather than discovering at
the endof a long meeting that a client
had just $1,000 for a project.
We learned how to figure out
where to find the right (clients) pro-
spects versus the ones who are just
tire-kicking, Tanowitz says.
Conventional wisdom says dont
start a business during an economic
downturn. Based on government fig-
ures many people agree. In 2007,
there were 844,000 new startups in
theU.S. By2009, that numberhadfall-
en to just 700,000, according the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics.
But a starting a company during
badeconomic times canbe goodbusi-
ness. It often teaches entrepreneurs
lessons that make them better busi-
ness owners and it can reap benefits
suchas savings onrents, products and
services and access to a better talent
pool.

B U S I N E S S
Q: My manager recently
gave me a performance warn-
ing for coming to work late.
She has started monitoring me
very closely, which makes me
feel like some sort of criminal.
I dont think I deserve to be
treated this way just because I
have poor time management
skills.
I used to have a friendly rela-
tionship with my boss, but now
I hardly speak to her at all. I
have applied for a position in
another department, but Im
afraid her feedback may keep
me from getting it. Is there
anything I can do to improve
this situation?
A: The most obvious thing
you can do is get to work on
time. Given that your manager
has issued a formal warning,
she must have been irritated
about your tardiness for quite
awhile. If you want her to rec-
ommend you for other jobs in
the company, then this is a
problem you have to fix.
Fortunately, tardiness is a
behavior that can be easily
modified. Even someone with
poor time management skills
has the ability to calculate the
travel time from home to office
and prepare accordingly. This
will undoubtedly require alter-
ing some long-established hab-
its, but if your career matters,
you must make the effort.
At the same time, you should
also reconsider your attitude,
because childishly snubbing
your boss is both self-defeating
and unjustified. By refusing to
tolerate tardiness, she is ac-
tually being a good manager.
Since all employees are expect-
ed to arrive on time, making an
exception for you would con-
stitute blatant favoritism.
If you can be both prompt
and pleasant for a sustained
period, your manager will un-
doubtedly decrease her moni-
toring. And if the rest of your
performance remains satisfac-
tory, she may eventually give
you a favorable recommenda-
tion.

want to be like the NFL owners
and deny it, thats what theyre
going to do. But nevertheless,
its the reality.
Ken Margolies, a senior asso-
ciate at the Worker Institute at
Cornell University, said the in-
stant upper hand that NFL refer-
ees commandeered this week is
increasingly rare for uniquely
skilled workers in labor dis-
putes. One major culprit is tech-
nology: tool-and-die workers in
the auto industry couldnt be re-
placed easily before automation,
and management can now out-
source jobs like customer ser-
vice to overseas.
The NFL referee lockout, he
said, is most recently compara-
ble to the 2007 writers strike in
Hollywood in terms of profile.
But Margolies said he couldnt
recall such a blatant example
where a labor standoff turned on
this kind of debacle.
Its just so obvious that peo-
ple couldnt be replaced and get
the same result, he said.
Attitudes about expertise can
also make it a risky hand to play
in a negotiation, depending on
whos on the other side of the ta-
ble. The idea that no one is irre-
placeable and theres always a
guy next in line willing to do the
job runs deep in America. Pro-
fessing expertise can also bring
on suspicions of elitism and
scratch an itch to knock some-
one down a peg.
Other work stoppages around
the U.S. this year also illustrate
the role of expertise, albeit in
varying ways:
In Houston, Adrianna Vas-
quez makes $8.60 an hour doing
what she knows people think is
the worlds most replaceable job:
Shes a janitor. When the 37-
year-old returned in August to
resume cleaning the 100 toilets
on 10 floors in a downtown
Chase Bank tower after a city-
wide janitor strike that won a 12
percent raise, Vasquez said the
bathrooms cleaned by replace-
ment crews lookedlike stalls ina
seedy bar. I just wanted to cry
when I saw it, she said.
In NewYork, Consolidated
Edison locked out 8,000 workers
in July and brought in replace-
ments from other states to work
power lines andoperatethegrid.
It endedjust as severe storms hit
and threatened power outages.
Not enough people that knew
what they were doing, said
John Melia, a spokesman for the
Local 1-2 of the Utility Workers
Union of America.
For American Crystal Sugar,
which locked out employees in
five factories in three states, vice
president Brian Ingulsrud ac-
knowledged the union workers
are very skilled and said it was
a big challenge to bring in re-
placements. He said the compa-
ny worked hard at training the
new workers in the months
when the plants were not proc-
essing beets.
It was a learning curve, there
was no doubt, Ingulsrud said.
Last year we did have some
bumps in terms of working
through that. We feel were on
the right side of the curve right
now.

Business was tough at first, but
Hamilton found that there were
benefits to launching in an eco-

many people were unemployed,
she was able to get highly quali-

candidates she developed a good
reputation that is serving her well

STARTUPS
ican Sugar Refining Co., which launched
the plant in1921, still stand. Although sur-
rounded by the twisted carcasses of ma-
chinery ripped out of the structures, the
Brasil is expected to be ready for the up-
coming annual harvest and start milling
cane by February.
That would have seemed an unlikely
prospect during most of the last decade.
The plant mostly sat idle or was intermit-
tently used as a grain depot, with only 50
employees remaining from a workforce
that once numbered 500.
The refinery came back online briefly in
2008, only to be shuttered after two years
because it was so inefficient.
The Brasils near-demise mirrors sugars
decline from the times when it accounted
for 80 percent of Cubas export income,
principally from the nearby U.S. market
before relations between the two coun-
tries soured in the 1960s.
The crop fueled Cubas rum industry
and permeated popular culture. Iconic
singer Celia Cruz was famed for interject-
ing cries of Azucar! (sugar) in her
songs.
Over the decades since Cubas 1959 rev-
olution, bureaucratic mismanagement
created a slow-growing crisis that explod-
ed in 2002, said Arturo Lopez-Levy, a Cu-
baneconomist at theUniversityof Denver.
At that time, sugar sold for just 6 cents a
pound on world markets.
Cuban officials mothballed much of the
industry, shuttering100 of the islands 156
refineries and converting some 3 million
acres of cane fields to other crops.
Production plummeted. From a peak of
approximately 8 million tons in1989, sug-
ar output hit a105-year-lowof 1.1millionin
2010.
Now with sugar topping 20 cents a
pound worldwide, Cuba is newly motiva-
ted to revive the industry and stimulate
production.
Authorities have begun overhauling the
Brasil and other mills, paying farmers
more for cane and handing over fallow
land to private growers and agro-cooper-
atives. As with other sectors of the econo-
my, efficiency is the buzzword, and offi-
cials hope Azcuba will be more nimble
than the ponderous Sugar Ministry.
Wilson Morell, vice president of Azcu-
ba, set a goal of returning to 4 million tons
per year by modernizing the 56 refineries
still online, though he did not set a date.
That would achieve half of Cubas histor-
ical peak output with about a third of the
facilities.
Cuba acknowledges it still must address
issues suchas installingmodernirrigation
systems, improving the supply chain and
guaranteeing quality of cane sent to the
mills. Foreign investment in the sector is
nonexistent, thoughMorell andPerezsaid
negotiations are under way on possible
British investment in a bioelectrical plant
at one refinery.
Lopez-Levy, whose father was an engi-
neer in the industry, applauded measures
such as Azcubas financial independence.
But he cautioned that its too early to brag
about a major comeback, sayingit remains
to be seen whether the sector can over-
come the stubborn bureaucratic mindset
that has long plagued Cuba.
After so many disasters, a measure of
skepticism is realistic, the economist
said.

sugar industry was on its knees after the worst harvest in more than a century.
Now Cubas signature industry is showing signs of life.

WELCOME TO THE FALL
The summer was great for stocks, but not so much for corporate profits.
September marks the close of the third quarter, and financial analysts
have low expectations. They say earnings fell from a year ago for five of
the 10 industries that make
up the S&P 500, with the
sharpest drop for energy
stocks. Coal producers in
particular are struggling,
because their power-plant
customers are switching to
burning natural gas, which is
cheaper.
Aluminum producer Alcoa
has traditionally been the
first major company to report
earnings each quarter, and
its scheduled for Oct. 9.
Analysts expect it to report a
drop of 93 percent.
ACTIVE LOSERS
Index mutual funds certainly arent sexy. They are content to simply
move up and down with the market, usually at a relatively low cost for
investors. Theyre not like actively managed mutual funds, where man-
agers try to own only win-
ners and beat the market.
Yet index funds are on
track to once again offer
better returns than most
actively managed funds.
Only 29 percent of large-
cap core mutual funds are
beating the S&P 500 in-
dex so far this year, ac-
cording to Goldman
Sachs. Last year, only 19
percent of them did so,
and the average over the
last 10 years is 40 per-
cent, according to S&P.

STILL GLITTERING
Most commodities have lost their shine following a strong summer
rally. Excitement has faded that stimulus by the Federal Reserve
and other central banks will bolster the economy, and thus de-
mand for commodities. Crude oil fell 6 percent in the week follow-
ing the Feds stimulus announcement, coffee lost 5.7 percent and
corn lost 3.6 percent. An-
alysts at Barclays say
the declines could con-
tinue, except for gold.
The stimulus has raised
worries about inflation,
and investors have his-
torically bought gold
when theyre scared of
rising prices. Barclays
forecasts the price of
gold to average $1,810
per ounce in the last
three months of 2012. Source: FactSet

Title: Portfolio manager, Forward
International Real Estate fund
What he suggests: Consider
foreign real estate
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
Michael McGowan
Being a foreign landlord can be
lucrative. Investors in mutual
funds that own global real
estate have seen some of the
best returns so far this year, an
average of 22 percent through
Tuesday. Michael McGowans
fund, Forward International Real
Estate (FFIRX) has returned 46
percent over the same time. He
explains the strong performance
for funds that specialize in office
buildings and other real estate in
foreign countries.
Whats behind the big jump for
global real estate?
Part of it is that last year wasnt
good. A lot of international stocks
sold off on fears about Europe.
So, some of that is just a rebound
from last year, when they were
down about 25 percent in the third
quarter.
The main reason why a lot of
overseas people buy real estate
is for asset protection. In times
of high inflation or in crisis, real
estate is something that has held
its value over long periods of
time. You have a very dim view
of currencies in Europe, because
of Germany (and its battles with
hyperinflation in the last century).
The idea of owning property in
Europe is deeply embedded. That
translates into demand for real
estate stocks. Asia is the same
thing: People want to pass down
property to the next generation.
Youre interested in companies
that do business in major
cities, like London, Paris,
Tokyo. Youre not worried that
those brand-name cities get
overpriced?
They will get overpriced at times,
just like any place will. But I want
to invest in a place that gets
demand after times of trouble. If
you look at longer-term cycles,
New York suffers in recessions
like any city, but then it comes
back. As long as the transporta-
tion is there, the knowledge, the
culture and the entertainment, it
will always come back.
Its a pretty basic real estate
premise: Going for supply
constrained areas versus going
for growth.
So I guess you like established
cities in developed markets. No
emerging markets?
I spent a lot of time in Manila and
Kuala Lumpur last month. Theyre
some of the best emerging
markets in terms of growth and
safety. They have better policies
than, say, China and better legal
systems than India or the Middle
East. Culturally, they are the capi-
tals of their countries. So if youre
a young person in the Philippines,
and youre smart, youre probably
going to want to move to Manila.
What about Canada?
They have dividend yields in the
4 to 6 percent range, and they
have good growth and good
corporate governance. And they
have a currency thats one of the
more stable ones. I have more
invested in Canada than Europe.
Im worried about the euro right
now.

InsiderQ&A
AP
Fears of a rough-and-
tumble stock market have
become entrenched since
the financial crisis. But by
one popular measure, the
market is the calmest it has
been in five years.
The Chicago Board of
Options Exchange Volatility
Index has dropped to its
lowest level since June
2007.
The VIX, known as the
markets fear gauge, tends to rise when stocks fall,
and vice versa. Thats because the VIX reflects
investors expectations of how volatile the market
will be over the next 30 days, as measured by
options prices. Options are contracts to buy or sell a
stock at a specified price and time.
If investors expect the
market to move sharply,
theyre willing to pay more
for options, which offer
protection against fluctuating
stock prices. When options
are sold at higher prices, the
VIX rises.
The VIX usually ranges
between 18 and 30 points.
Yet it has been steadily
below that range for much of
the summer. It closed below
14 on August 13 for the first time since the
recession began. The VIX closed at 14.9 Thursday.
The last time it closed above 18 was Aug. 1.
Despite the recent calm, mutual fund investors
continue to be wary. They have pulled their cash
out of stock funds each month since March.
Alls quiet, for now
At ease: The Federal Reserves latest bond-buying program announced on Sept. 13, went further than
many investors expected and helped lower the VIX to its lowest point in more than five years.

Mutual fund managers
love Apple.
The iPad maker is a top
10 holding for nearly half of
the largest actively
managed U.S. stock mutual
funds, according to a review
by Citi Research. Its not a
huge surprise: Apple is also
the biggest stock in the
market.
But the popularity of
Apple is also emblematic of
a larger trend among the
largest mutual funds:
Technology stocks are hot.
Besides Apple, mutual
funds are also placing big
bets on Microsoft, Google
and Amazon.com.
This screen shows which
stocks appear most often
on the top-10 holdings lists
of the 50 largest actively
managed U.S. stock mutual
funds. Apple has become
more popular with this
group by the quarter. It was
a top 10 holding for 22 of
the 50 largest funds last
quarter. Thats up from 20 in
the first quarter of 2012 and
from 15 in the first quarter
of 2011.

Mortgage rates, yields fall again
Worries about a weak economy sent Treasury
yields lower last week. The yield on the 10-year
note fell below 1.7 percent, down from 3.7 percent
in early 2011. Lower yields helped push the aver-
age rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage to 3.4 per-
cent, a record low. Mortgage rates are getting an
extra shove lower by the Federal Reserve, which
is buying mortgage bonds to keep rates low.

Palmolive. At the other end of the
spectrum are speculative stocks,
typically tied to young, relatively
unknown and risky companies.
Many promise great things, but have
yet to prove themselves. Examples
include gold miners or firms trying
to develop cures for cancer.
'Growth stocks, Iavored by
aggressive investors, tend to grow
faster than the market average.
They often dont pay any dividends,
using profits to fuel their growth.
Their stock prices can go up and
down quickly. (Telegraph and
fax-machine businesses were growers
once. Fortunes change over time.)
'Value stocks are Iavored by
investors looking to buy the prover-
bial dollar for 50 cents. They seek
promising companies that are tem-
porarily out of favor.
'Income stocks may not grow
too quickly, but they pay significant
dividends, ideally hiking them regu-
larly. These include utility companies,
real-estate companies, preferred
stocks and many blue chips. Income
stocks are often favored by those in
or near retirement, who seek income
to supplement pensions or savings.
Many companies fit into several
categories, such as those that are
both growing briskly and valued
attractively.

Shopping for Shops
Investors seeking income should
consider REITs (real-estate invest-
ment trusts), and among REITs, Retail
Opportunity Investments Corp. (Nas-
daq: ROIC) deserves consideration.
A REIT is a public company that
invests in real estate. Many REITs
have particular focuses, such as
health-care properties, apartments or
oIIice buildings. REITs aim to buy
properties that are underpriced and
wont have problem finding tenants.
They also get to be tax-exempt if they
pay out at least 90 percent of their
earnings in the form of dividends.
Retail Opportunity raises money
by selling shares to the public, and it
uses that money to buy shopping cen-
ters, improve their performance and
collect rent. Ideally, it will also sell
the land for significant gains.
Our analysts like the companys
CEO, Stuart Tanz, who has been buy-
ing up shopping center properties in
the depressed markets of the Ameri-
can West. Revenue has increased
from around $46,000 in 2009 to
$51.7 million in 2011. Over the last
four quarters alone, that number has
jumped to almost $65 million.
Just as important, the company is
now turning a solid profit, most of
which will be delivered to share-
holders.
Retail Opportunity recently offered
investors a respectable 4.5 percent
dividend yield. An improving com-
mercial real estate market would
boost this already-solid business even
more. (The Motley Fool owns shares
of Retail Opportunity and our news-
letters have recommended it.)

Give It Time
Decades ago, when I began Iol-
lowing stocks, I wanted to invest
in a name I recognized. Berkshire
Hathaway stock cost a few dol-
lars per share, and all I
knew about it was that it
made shirts. To my ever-
lasting regret, I didn`t buy
any but at 12 years old I didn`t
have much money of my own and
only watched stocks and dreamed
about owning them. Just proves
that the best time to start investing
is as early as possible. M.S.,
Danville, Calif.
The Fool Responds: You may
be surprised to learn that Hatha-
way shirts were not made by
Berkshire Hathaway, which began
as a textile company. Youre right,
though, that starting early is a
great way to build wealth. You
neednt get in on a great company
at the beginning, though.
With Berkshire`s Class A shares
recently trading near $130,000 per
share (you read that right), youd
have done well to have bought at
$100 or $1,000 or even $100,000.
(Class B shares are Iar more
accessible, though, near $87.)
Even a slow grower can serve you
well, if you give it decades.

Q
Whats a pure play com-
pany? R.C., Springfield, Mo.
A
It`s a company that Iocuses
on one single business. When
investors are drawn to a particu-
lar industry, they may look for a
company thats a pure play, so
that their invested dollars wont be
spread out over other, less desir-
able businesses.
Massive conglomerate General
Electric, for example, is about as
far as you can get from a pure play,
making everything from security
systems to power-plant equipment
to aircraft engines, and with each
operation having varying profitabil-
ity characteristics.
II your research suggests that
cosmetics retailing should grow
briskly and you want to invest
in it, you might invest in
drugstores or department
stores that sell makeup.
They sell a lot of other items,
too, though, many of which might
grow less briskly and might thus
bring down the companys overall
growth rate. So instead, you can
look at Sally Beauty Holdings and
Ulta Salon, which are pure plays in
the business.
Coca-Cola is a beverage pure
play, unlike PepsiCo, which has a
giant snack operation in Frito-Lay.
(The Motley Fool owns

mended Coca-Cola, PepsiCo

Know Your Company
It`s important to have a handle on
the different kinds of companies out
there, lest you end up filling your
portfolio with too many of one type.
Here are some common types:
'Cyclical companies are very
tied to the economic climate. Dur-
ing downturns, people spend money
more conservatively, putting off
major purchases such as cars, wash-
ing machines and big trips. Thus,
makers of large appliances are
cyclical. Companies selling items
such as drugs, soap or energy are
'deIensive. II you`re taking heart
medications, youre not going to stop
because of a recession.
'Seasonal companies experi-
ence significantly different sales
at various times of the year. Many
retailers, for example, see sales
surge during the holiday season.
Tax-preparation and lawn-servicing
companies are also seasonal.
'Blue chip companies have
been around a long time and are
known for being solid, relatively
safe investments. Theyre steady
growers, usually paying dividends.

Mart, Caterpillar and Colgate-

VIEWS S E C T I O N E
timesleader.com
SHARKARA Peters is
a 35-year-old single
mother of two. She
works 34 hours a week
at a fast-food restau-
rant. A few months
back, she was hospital-
ized with a blood clot
in her lung. Then, one of her daughters
needed surgery. As a result, Peters lost
about three weeks of work, and could
not muster her $335 monthly rent.
When I met her last month while in
Charlotte reporting on poverty on the
eve of the Democratic National Conven-
tion, she was facing eviction.
I asked Peters what President Obama
should do for people in her economic
situation and she answered without
hesitation. Obama, she said, needs to
do something about girls on welfare
that only sit up and have baby after
baby and never try to better them-
selves.
You see, nobody likes freeloaders.
The point is made for the benefit of
Mitt Romney. Of course, hed likely
consider Peters herself a freeloader. Ive
not seen her W-2, but it seems a safe
bet that, working less than full time for
fast-food wages, she doesnt pay much if
anything in federal income taxes. Rom-
ney was heard this month in a secretly
recorded video disparaging the 47 per-
cent of Americans low income earners
such as Peters, Social Security recip-
ients and others that he says pay no
taxes. Speaking before a room full of
well-heeled donors in Boca Raton, Fla.,
who had paid $50,000 a plate for some
face time with him, the Republican
presidential nominee described those
non-taxpayers with contempt as people
who are dependent upon government,
who believe that they are victims ...
In the video, posted online by the
liberal magazine Mother Jones, Rom-
ney says itd be a waste of time pitching
his campaign to those moochers: Ill
never convince them that they should
take personal responsibility and care for
their lives.
Sharkara Peters does not need Rom-
neys lectures about personal responsib-
ility.
Nor does George Farmer, 61, who
became homeless when he was diag-
nosed with prostate cancer and could
no longer drive his truck. Nor does
Michelle, an unemployed appliance
repair technician trying to raise four
girls on $694 a month plus food stamps.
Nor do most of the invisible poor, the
cashiers and servers, floor moppers and
burger flippers whose annual income
probably wouldnt cover maintenance
on one of Romneys car elevators.
If the gaffe concretizes the caricature
of an out-of-touch rich guy, a cognac-
swilling peer of Thurston Howell III,
Charles Emerson Winchester and Mont-
gomery Burns, its important to remem-
ber that Romney is hardly alone in his
sentiments. They are called animals by
Ann Coulter, takers by Michelle Malkin,
accused of laziness by Rush Limbaugh.
Fox News person Charles Payne la-
ments the entitlement mentality
under which they fail to even be proper-
ly embarrassed by their poverty.
For the record, I gave you no sur-
name for Michelle, the single mother
referenced above, precisely because she
was too embarrassed to let me use it.
Romneys remarks, then, are of a
piece with a narrative poverty as
character defect favored by many who
know exactly jack about the reality of
poverty, but who have discovered that
demonizing the faceless poor, giving us
someone new to resent and blame, is
good politics. They wrap their attacks
in rags of righteousness and pretensions
of pragmatism, but there is something
viscerally wrong, morally shrunken, in a
nation where the most fortunate are
encouraged to treat the least fortunate
as some enemy race.
So the big story here is not about
what damage Romney did to his cam-
paign. Yes, the fact that he used con-
demnation of the poor as a lever of
political advantage shames him.
But the very fact that the lever exists
shames us all.

GLORIA Steinem is
unmistakable.
Across the room
surrounded by a clutch
of admirers, she is
utterly ageless sleek
and svelte in black
form-fitting pants and
top, a gold braided belt with sparkly
fleurettes draped along her slender hips.
At 78, she looks, well, fabulous.
I suppose its not very feminist of us
to comment on how great she looks,
says the woman next to me, apparently
feeling compelled to inject the appropri-
ate corrective.
But at a certain age, isnt a woman
happy to accept a compliment? And
havent we come a long way, baby?
Judging by the current debate in
some Republican circles, one has occa-
sion to pause and wonder.
The purpose of the Thursday evening
gathering in a private home was to
celebrate Makers: The Women Who
Make America, a multiplatform video
production from PBS, AOL and Maker-
s.com, which launched in February
2012.
The documentary chronicles the
history of the womens movement and
features women who have, indeed,
made things happen so that subsequent
generations could do what women were
not allowed to do not so long ago to
become doctors, lawyers, legislators,
secretaries of state and, perhaps, even
president.
Among those assembled were seven
of the Makers who appear in the film,
including, in addition to Steinem, Su-
preme Court Justice Ruth Bader Gins-
burg, actress Marlo That Girl Thomas,
Rebecca Adamson (founder of First
Peoples Worldwide), Karen Nussbaum
(executive director of Working America
and founder of 9to5), Malika Saada Saar
(executive director, Human Rights Pro-
ject for Girls) and Muriel Siebert (the
first woman to earn a seat on the New
York Stock Exchange and namesake of
the investment firm Siebert & Co.).
Thats quite a lot of feminine and
feminist power in one room. Quoting
John F. Kennedy, Steinem said there
hasnt been so much talent in one place
since Thomas Jefferson was alone in a
room. Except now, she cracked, we
know Sally Hemings was probably do-
ing the writing.
The centerpiece of the evening was a
preview of excerpts from the docu-
mentary, which is scheduled for release
in February 2013, the 50th anniversary
of Betty Friedans The Feminine Mys-
tique.
In one interview, Ginsburg recalls
being one of nine women in a class of
500 men at Harvard Law School. Gins-
burg remembered being herded into a
room with the other women where a
professor asked why they were taking
up seats that could be filled with men.
She transferred to Columbia University,
where she finished first in her class.
Other women tell similar, barrier-
breaking tales. All remind us that wom-
en really have come a long way, often,
one hastens to mention, with the help of
enlightened men. Ginsburg paid hom-
age to her husband, who gave up his
own successful law practice to follow
her to Washington so that she could
accept her place on the Supreme Court.
He never felt slighted, she said, noting
that he was also an excellent cook.
The value of the film cant be over-
stated. We have lived in a feminist world
for decades, yet younger generations
have no sense of the struggle. And
though we are correctly horrified at the
disenfranchisement of women in other
parts of the world, it is useful to recall
that American womens freedoms are
relatively fresh.
Steinem, her fire somewhat tempered
by time and grace, noted that loss of
memory is the source of oppression. For
centuries, womens stories werent told.
Women had no place at the campfire, as
she put it.
The story of womens struggle for
equality belongs to no single feminist,
Steinem insists, nor to any one orga-
nization but to the collective efforts of
all who care about human rights. Heres
to memory.

Lots of people thought President Obama could go in and break
gridlock and that didnt happen. Thats the scariest thing to a
lot of young people that nothing is going to happen.
Ethan Weber
Senior at Miami University in Ohio
WASHINGTON Get in line, Medi-
careandSocial Security. Seniors, likejust
about everyone else, have money on
their minds.
Who wins the trust of seniors, a group
that votes at ahigher ratethananyother,
will be a deciding factor in the presiden-
tial election. That should be good news
for Mitt Romney, because those 65 and
older have backed the Republican candi-
date in both of the last two presidential
elections.
But President BarackObamahasbeen
pounding Romney and his running
mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, on their plan for
Medicare. Those attacks are starting to
bear fruit for Obama, who is gaining
ground among seniors in two key battle-
grounds: Florida and Ohio.
Still, Romney has the edge nationally
amongseniorsinnosmall part thanks
to seniors concerns about Obamas
handling of the economy.
Nowhere will the senior vote be as
powerful or as prominent as in Florida,
where Romney and Obama are compet-
ing fiercely.
Its not just the cookie cutter that ev-
ery senior here is totally dependent on
Social Security and Medicare, said Su-
sanMacManus, apolitical scientist at the
Universityof SouthFlorida. As theFDR
generation has passed and generational
replacement has occurred, you get a
more divided senior electorate.
More seniors say the economy is ex-
tremely important to their vote than
Medicare, says a poll released Thursday
by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foun-
dation. A recent Associated Press-GfK
poll shows 7 in 10 seniors say taxes and
the federal deficit are important tothem.
Even for those well into retirement, a
feeble economy affects older Americans
inwaysyoumight not realize. Manyhave
had to bail out adult children who have
lost their jobs and turned to their aging
parents for help. And those who lived
through the Great Depression as chil-
dren relate intimately to the perils of an
over-indebted nation.
Just ask Dominic Santoro, an 81-year-
old retiree from Sunny Isles Beach, Fla.,
whosaiditsdifferent forseniorsthanit is
for younger Americans, who have years
to make up what was lost during the re-
cession.
Thats very nice, but what about the
poor senior citizenthats nolonger work-

Santoro, who plans to vote for Romney.

seemto have caught on.
Obama and Ryan both hewed closely to themes of
Medicare and Social Security in their speeches last
week to an AARP summit in New Orleans. Ryan,
who was loudly booed for vowing to repeal Obama-
care, offered assurances that he and Romney
wouldnt alter Medicare for those in or near retire-
ment.
Medicareisapromise, andwewill honorit,Ryan
said. A Romney-Ryan administration will protect
and strengthen Medicare for my moms genera-
tion and for my kids and yours.
Not so, said Obama, warning seniors that Ryan
andRomneywant toreplaceMedicarewithvouchers
that wouldnt keep up with health care costs. Its an
admonition echoed in a television ad Obamas cam-
paign started airing Friday in Florida, Colorado and
Iowa.
Both Ryan and Romney invoked their late grand-
mothersinworkingtoconvinceAARPmembersthat
they understand what seniors go through.
Shewasagreat citizenwholiveduptoherrespon-
sibilities, Obama said. And after a lifetime of hard
work, what she hoped for in return was to be able to
live out her golden years with dignity and security,
andtoseeher grandchildrenandher great grandchil-
dren have a better life.
Although far from a monolithic bloc, seniors by
and large have sided with Romney throughout this
years electionandfavoredtheformer Massachusetts
governor 52-41 in a national AP-GfKpoll in Septem-
ber. While Romney has lost his edge among overall
voters on handling of the economy, seniors are the
holdout, preferring Romney by 10 points over Oba-
ma on that issue.
But incompetitive states that coulddetermine the
elections outcome, seniors attitudes are on the
move. Over the past month, Obama has climbed 9
points in Florida and 4 points in Ohio, giving himan
edge over Romney inbothstates, accordingtoa new
Quinnipiac University/CBS News/NewYork Times
poll. Its the opposite in Pennsylvania, where Obama
has lost his edge among seniors and nowtrails Rom-
ney 45-50.
Older voters will make up a dramatically larger
part of thepopulationinthecomingdecades, accord-
ing to a report released Tuesday by the National A-
cademy of Sciences. Americans are living longer,
working longer and waiting until later in life to have
children.
In the near term, that shift may work in Repub-
licans favor, offsetting some of the boost that Demo-
crats are expected to enjoy fromthe growing minor-
ity population.

IDlaws insomestates, whichban
or restrict the use of student IDs
at the polls, also are causing con-
fusion on campuses at a time
when students are already weary
and cynical about political bick-
ering in Washington.
Lots of people thought Presi-
dent Obama could go in and
break gridlock and that didnt
happen, says Ethan Weber, a se-
nior at Miami University in Ohio,
wholl be graduating in Decem-
ber. Thats the scariest thing to a
lot of young people that noth-
ing is going to happen.
In 2008, Weber cast a half-
hearted vote for Republican John
McCain, certain Obama would
win. This time, hes voting for
Romney and sees the election as
a toss-up.
He is still in the minority in the
18- to 29-year-old age group, ac-
cording to polls. Young people
are leaning strongly Democratic,
as they traditionally do, andfavor
Obama by a wide margin
though some pollsters say the
youngest newvoters are showing
signs that they may buck that
trend.
An Associated Press-GfK poll
conducted earlier this month
found that 61 percent of regis-
tered voters in the18-to-29 brack-
et support the president, com-
pared with 30 percent for Rom-
ney.
In 2008, young people ended
up voting for Obama by a 2-to-1
margin, with just over half of U.S.
citizens, ages 18 to 29, casting a
ballot in 2008. It remains to be
seen, however, whether theyll
show up at the polls this time.
A Gallup poll taken Aug. 27-
Sept. 16 found that 63 percent of
registered voters, ages 18 to 29,
said they definitely plan to
vote.
That compares with at least 80
percent of registered voters in ol-
der age brackets who said the
same.
By comparison, before the
election in 2008, 79 percent of
young registered voters said they
definitely planned to cast a bal-
lot, according to a Time/Abt
SRBI poll, taken in later Septem-
ber of that year.
Older voters were about as
committed to vote then as they
are this time. (Amongself-report-
ed registered voters, turnout in
2008 was 84 percent for 18- to 29-
year-olds, according to the U.S.
Census, compared with 91 per-
cent for older voters.)
After that banner turnout, Alli-
son Byers, a 25-year-old in San
Francisco, finds young Ameri-
cans waning commitment to
vote in this election frustrating.
It kind of breaks my heart,
says Byers, whoworks incommu-
nications at an arts college and
was an active organizer for the
Obama campaign in 2008, when
she was a junior at Virginia Tech.
Even she concedes that shes
feeling more realistic than ex-
cited about this election her
optimism tempered by the diffi-
culties the nation and the presi-
dent have faced in the last four
years. But she remains commit-
ted to him.
Its important to note, though,
that for a whole newcrop of eligi-
ble voters those who werent
yet 18 in November 2008 this
will be the first time theyre able
to cast a ballot.
And that has Della Volpe at
Harvard wondering if the enthu-
siasm gap may be, at least partly,
the result of a growing schism
between older and younger mil-
lennials, the age group so named
because theyve reached adult-
hood in the new millennium.
Older millennials came of age
amid the terror attacks of Sept.
11, 2001, and Hurricane Katrina,
sparking some to become more
civically and politically engaged.
Meanwhile, the political awak-
ening of the younger millennials
is happening during the reces-
sion, Della Volpe says.
How that will affect them, or
influence this election, remains
to be seen.
But already, Della Volpe and
his staff have found that Obama
holds a wider margin of support
among older twentysomethings
than with potential voters who
are 18 to 24 especially 18- and
19-year-olds.
Whether Republicans know
that, or whether they simply
noted young voters influence on
the last election, they have been
spending more time courting col-
lege students lately.
Republican Paul Ryan, being
framed as the younger vice
presidential candidate, has spent
time on campuses recently.
That is a very, very astute
move by Republicans, Della
Volpe says.
They wont win the youth vote,
he predicts.
But they might win the white
18- to 24-year-old vote and
they could block some additional
gains that Obama might make.

Iran is 70 percent of the way
there
Benjamin Netanyahu
Israels prime minister last week addressed the
United Nations General Assembly, urging the world
to draw a clear red line on Irans nuclear program,
which he said could enter its final stage sometime next summer.
YOUD THINK that being
a gorgeous, charming,
sophisticated young prin-
cess fully accessorized
right down to having an
adoring, healthy and atten-
tive young king-to-be at
ones side would have solved most prob-
lems, wouldnt you?
Ive had plenty of off-days when any com-
bination of those elements gorgeous,
charming, king-to-be at my side would
have gone a long way toward cheering me
up.
But weve learned recently that even Kate
Middleton isnt enviable at least not all
the time.
This months collective cultural copping
of a feel has transformed the Duchess of
Cambridge into merely a pair of breasts,
the holder of the Royal Rack. Gone from
sight and sound are the young womans
good works and bon mots; eclipsed are the
dazzling smiles and apparently affectionate
interactions with her delighted audiences
in Britain and abroad.
Shes been reduced to a just another girl
gone wild, a young woman without a bath-
ing suit top sunning herself on a deck. She
could be a Page Three girl from the English
tabloids or a cast member from Jersey
Shore (although shed need a bigger tan.
Thats right: tan).
The paparazzi wanted to get those pho-
tographs of Middleton because shes some-
body. Yet the effect of being photographed
in such a way is to be cut down to size: to
be made into any body, to be made into
an object. Finally, it is to be treated like
nobody at all: just a pair of breasts and a
behind.
Mostly people seemed disappointed that
there werent little crowns on her, or some
other distinguishing features. 32B or 32 not
to be? Thats the only question.
Ask any woman when she was first re-
duced to body parts as if being evaluated
by Perdue for sale by the pound and shell
tell you. Most of us remember.
Mine was when I was walking home from
school by myself in the eighth grade. I was
wearing a new pea coat Id bought with
baby-sitting money. This was the early
1970s and I looked more like a stowaway
from Palermo than a chorus girl; I looked
like the old cartoon character Dondi
except with longer hair.
Whether it was the hair or the coat, it
was enough to get me noticed by a Monte
Carlo filled with high school guys who
drove by and shouted really dirty stuff.
Really. Dirty.
I was deeply ashamed of myself. And
thats the part that still gets me: I didnt do
anything. Why should I have been embar-
rassed? The guys were the morons. They
were the ones engaged in nasty behavior. If
their mothers heard what they said, they
would have hit them over the head with
frying pans and not just once.
But instead I was the one who slunk
down, red-faced, hating my new jacket.
Some of Middletons critics argue that, as
a royal supported by the state, she should
have known better than to reveal her
naughty bits except indoors with the black-
out curtains drawn, as if she were living
during the Blitz. Or under Shariah law,
perhaps.
But of what, exactly, is Middleton meant
to be ashamed?
Is she being punished for making us want
to look at her? Cmon, shes one of the most
photographed women in the world. Shes
not some poor girl with low self-esteem
who misjudged how to become popular and
removed her top for Twitter.
Nor is the princess hoisting up a frothing
pint of Whitbread and flinging her breasts
into the camera as if proclaiming Oyik!
These belong to Britain!
The photographs of Middleton are pretty
far from lascivious. They have all the illicit
sexuality of the puppy tugging at the bath-
ing suit bottom of the 4-year-old in the
Coppertone ad. Sure, you can make that
image erotic if you choose, but if you do,
youre probably already on the predators
list and have other stuff to worry about.
One thing Middleton or any other
woman shouldnt have to worry about in
the 21st century is being ashamed of herself
for having a body. Just shout Honi soit qui
mal y pense, that phrase on Great Britains
royal coat of arms meaning Youve got the
problem, buddy, not me whenever the
paparazzi, or guys in Monte Carlos, go by.
No shame for Princess Kate only for her stalkers

COMMENTARY
G I N A B A R R E C A
JAMES CHARLES Lehrer
will gavel America to order
at 9 p.m. Wednesday from
inside the University of
Denvers Magness Arena
for the first debate between
President Barack Obama
and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Rom-
ney.
At that moment, Lehrer, 78, executive
editor of the PBS NewsHour, will become
moderator of an unprecedented 12th presi-
dential debate.
His first was in 1988 when Vice President
George H.W. Bush faced off against Mas-
sachusetts Democratic Gov. Michael Duka-
kis at Wake Forest University in Winston-
Salem, N.C.
As Dukakis looked on, Lehrer, 54, direct-
ed his first question to Bush: The polls say
the number-one domestic issue to a majority
of voters is drugs. What is there about these
times that drives or draws so many Amer-
icans to use drugs?
Lehrer also moderated two of three presi-
dential debates in 1992, two between Presi-
dent Bill Clinton and Sen. Robert Dole in
96, and the three in 2000 featuring Vice
President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George
W. Bush.
Lehrer says the intense responsibility of
officiating a presidential debate, upon which
so much could depend, is like walking
down the blade of a knife.
Lehrer is in charge. The questions are his.
Follow-ups are his. And the six topics for
discussion during Wednesdays 90-minute,
domestic policy debate divided into 15
minute-segments: economy I, economy II,
economy III, health care, the role of govern-
ment and governing are all his.
Its difficult to win an American presi-
dential debate, given the knowledge, skill
and experience of the men and women
disciplined enough to scale the cliffs leading
to that exclusive terrain atop the presiden-
tial debate stage. But debates are easy to
lose.
Roughly 132 million Americans cast presi-
dential ballots in 2008. More than half that
number tuned to the first presidential de-
bate between Senators Barack Obama and
John McCain, with millions more catching
all or part of their two subsequent meetings.
For President Obama and Gov. Romney
the stakes could not be higher as the first
presidential debate almost always draws the
largest television audience.
As Lehrer and his wife Kate, the only
person with prior knowledge of his ques-
tions, exit the Magness Arena, an equally
important post-debate-debate already will
have commenced.
In adjoining rooms off the event floor,
campaign operatives and the nations news
media will engage in lengthy post-debate
analysis that will extend through the Sunday
morning news shows.
Did Romney exceed expectations? Did
Obama fall short? Was a knockout punch
delivered, a home run hit or a candidacy-
ending gaffe uttered by either man?
Were ties straight, color appropriate,
knots centered, on white shirts or blue? Its
all been tested, discussed and decided.
The endless nitpicking that follows is fine
with Lehrer: When a debate is over that I
moderate, I want everybody to say you have
seen and heard the candidates for president
on the same stage, at the same time, talking
about the same things, and you can judge
them, not just on content because by then
people already know about the issues. We
want to take a measure of the person.
Obama will need to be convincing when
discussing the economy. While Romney will
be forced to defend the Ryan-Romney plan
to undo Medicare, which placed a lid on
Romneys poll numbers and has given Oba-
ma a perceptible lead in every swing state.
Gov. Romney needs a breakout night in
front of an enormous television audience.
The president needs to maintain Americas
confidence.
This is reality TV.
When Jim Lehrer finishes blade-walking
on Wednesday evening he will have moder-
ated his last presidential debate, he says. To
have been selected by the Commission on
Presidential Debates and approved by candi-
dates of both parties 12 times in six presi-
dential cycles over 24 years is a tribute to
Lehrers excellence and a record of DiMag-
gio-esque proportions unlikely to be sur-
passed.
Tune in and watch. Nobody does it better.
Master of debate Lehrer will moderate one last time

politics appears every Sunday. Contact him at

or her?
Do questions about the U.S.
debt currently pegged at $16
trillion top your list? Are you
most concerned about pocket-
book issues such as the re-
gions still-sagging job prospec-
ts and the steadily rising per-

maybe, youd like to gauge how
the candidates would vote if,
for instance, the U.S. House of
Representatives began debat-
ing a response to Irans contin-
ued work on attaining nuclear
capabilities.
Submit your question or
questions on these and other
subjects that will influence
your decision on Election Day
to The Times Leader. Its staff-

QUOTE OF THE DAY
S
PREADING FALSE in-
formation because you
dont know the facts is
a mistake. Continuing
to spread false information
when you know the truth is ly-
ing.
Thats what a Washington-
based, big-money political
group did by continuing to run
TVcommercials that used false
information to smear Pennsyl-
vania Attorney General candi-
date Kathleen Kane as being
soft on rape.
The TVad cited two cases in
whichit saidKane, aDemocrat,
let rapists off withlight pleabar-
gains. But the Lackawanna
County District Attorneys Of-
fice, andone of the rape victims
fathers, said Kane wasnt in-
volved.
Once the group, the Republi-
can State Leadership Commit-
tee, was confronted with the in-
accuracies by the Daily News
Chris Brennan, it was obligated
to pull the ad.
It said it would, and even ad-
mitted to the errors. But the ad
ranfor three more days. Contin-
uing to broadcast the false ad
turned what could have been
explained as an unintended
mistake into a lie.
Unfortunately, voters across
thenationcanonlyexpect more
misinformationandshadings of
the truth as PACS, super-PACs,
and other groups continue to
bombardtheairwaveswithneg-
ative ads, fueled by seemingly
nave Supreme Court decisions
and Congresss failure to put
more controls on political
spending.
The RSLC spent more than
$500,000 to buy a week of ad-
vertising in the Philadelphia
market. The group has filled its
coffers with money from shale-
gas drillers, tobacco interests,
casinos and the financial sector
all trying to influence govern-
ment by backing specific candi-
dates.
The candidates typically say
they have nothing to do with
theads paidfor byinterests out-
side their campaigns, but they
dont mindreapingthebenefits.
The media also have to bear
some responsibility. Political
speech is protected by the Con-
stitution, but that doesnt pre-
vent the media fromvettingads
for accuracy andrefusingtorun
blatant lies. Would TV stations
run pornographic or racist ads?
Why cant they tell political ad-
vertisers to show accurate sup-
porting documentation for
their assertions andcheck the
facts?
As for voters, they must care-
fully consider what a political
ad might present as truth, espe-
cially when the ad wasnt paid
for by the candidates official
campaign.

Fault progressives
for Scranton woes
T
he financial plight of the
city of Scranton has gar-
nered national attention.
Why does Scranton have such
a problem?
The truth is this devel-
opment has been decades in
the making. Scranton has
been plagued with financial
difficulties since at least the
early 1970s. Nearly every year
the city has spent more money
than it takes in. During this
long period of financial stress
there has been one constant:
The vast majority of Scran-
tons elected officials have
been progressives.
The residents of Scranton
need to put two and two to-
gether. The city has been
plagued with fiscal problems
for a long time. Scrantons
government has been dom-
inated by progressive ideology
for a long time.
If Scranton is ever to turn
itself around and get its fi-
nancial house in order, it must
reject progressive ideology.

Our nation needs
gutsy leadership
T
here are so many things to
write about, so many frus-
trations with the state of
our nation and community, its
difficult to know where to
begin. But I know where all
the problems can begin to end
with true leadership.
Gen. Norman Cota was a
leader during the second wave
of the D-Day invasion. On
June 6, 1944, he said these
remarkable words to his men:
Gentlemen, we are being
killed on the beaches. Let us
go inland and be killed.
Think about that! Let us go
inland and be killed. He and
the men who served with him
had something we all really
need to pay more attention to
intestinal fortitude (aka
guts).
Where have those with such
intestinal fortitude gone?
Where are the leaders willing
to put doing the right thing
over doing what is best for
their own hides?
We need leaders willing to
take hard stands against illegal
immigration, excessive taxa-
tion, excessive government
regulations that impede busi-
ness growth, attacks upon
religion, out-of-control govern-
ment spending, etc. We need
leaders who wont tolerate
unproductive workers telling
productive ones what to do.
We need leaders who inspire
us rather than those who only
show up at ribbon-cuttings
and spew empty rhetoric such
as We need family-sustaining
jobs, and I am working for
that.
Rather than such blather,
tell us your detailed, strategic
plan as to how you plan to
reduce excessive regulations
upon the private sector
(which is what creates jobs,
not the government) and tell
us how you will ensure those
who can afford to employ/
build companies will not be
hindered by absurdly high
corporate tax rates.
True leaders take the tough
route over the easy course. Its
easy for politicians to raise
taxes and say they want to do
property assessments. Its far
harder to trim the fat and get
rid of wasteful spending,
wasteful departments and
unnecessary employees. But
tough times require the harder
route to be taken.
The people of this country
and community should de-
mand term limits for our
politicians. Maybe if politics
cant become a career, poli-
ticians would be less apt to do
what will keep the peace
(and keep them in office forev-
er) and more apt to stir the
pot and do what is right.
Leadership requires the sort of
heart and fighting spirit held
by the soldiers who stormed
Omaha Beach, a desire to
fight for beliefs with passion
and conviction.
As area voters listen to
candidates over the coming
weeks, they should ask them-
selves who has shown a wil-
lingness to take tough stands,
who has guts, who may bring
strength to office.
Why? Because cowards
wont lead us out of this mess.

Library Friends
thank community
I
f you missed the recent
wine-and-cheese event at
the West Pittston Library,
never fear. There will be an-
other one.
But you did miss a great
event. It was a fundraiser, but
most important it was a com-
munity get-together. Library
personnel, board members
and Friends of the Library
members were there to meet
and greet everyone.
There were plenty of smiles
to go around. Great snacks,
including those chocolate-
covered strawberries, cookies
and a wonderful assortment of
cheeses, brought the whole
thing to life. The fall deco-
rations, courtesy of Diane
Melvin, were spectacular.
Friends of the West Pittston

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 PAGE 5E
V I E W S
IN mid-Sep-
tember 2008,
Lehman
Brothers
collapsed and
the bottom
fell out of the
financial sys-
tem. Barack Obama handled it
coolly. John McCain did not.
Obama won the presidency.
(Given the countrys condition,
he would have won anyway.
But this sealed it.)
Four years later, mid-Sep-
tember 2012, the U.S. mission
in Benghazi went up in flames,
as did Obamas entire Middle
East policy of apology and
accommodation. Obama once
again played it cool, effectively
ignoring the attack and the
region-wide American humili-
ation. Bumps in the road, he
said. Nodding tamely were the
mainstream media, who would
have rained a week of vitriol on
Mitt Romney had he so casu-
ally dismissed the murder of a
U.S. ambassador, the raising of
the black Salafist flag over four
U.S. embassies and the epidem-
ic of virulent anti-American
demonstrations from Tunisia
to Sri Lanka to Indonesia.
Obama seems not even to
understand what happened. He
responded with a groveling
address to the U.N. General
Assembly that contained no
less than six denunciations of a
crackpot video, while offering
cringe-worthy platitudes about
the need for governments to
live up to the ideals of the
United Nations.
The United Nations being an
institution of surpassing cyn-
icism and mendacity, the
speech was so nave it would
have made a fine middle-school
commencement address. In-
stead, it was a plaintive plea by
the worlds alleged superpower
to be treated nicely by a room-
ful of the most corrupt, repres-
sive, tin-pot regimes on Earth.
Yet Romney totally fumbled
away the opportunity. Here
was a chance to make the
straightforward case about
where Obamas feckless ap-
proach to the regions tyrants
has brought us, connecting the
dots of the disparate attacks as
a natural response of the more
virulent Islamist elements to a
once-hegemonic power in
retreat. Instead, Romney did
two things:
He issued a two-sentence
critique of the initial statement
issued by the U.S. Embassy in
Cairo on the day the mob at-
tacked. The critique was not
only correct but vindicated
when the State Department
disavowed the embassy state-
ment. However, because the
critique was not framed within
a larger argument about the
misdirection of U.S. Middle
East policy, it could be and
was characterized as a parti-
san attack on the nations lead-
er at a moment of national
crisis.
Two weeks later at the Clin-
ton Global Initiative, Romney
did make a foreign-policy ad-
dress. Here was his opportuni-
ty. What did he highlight?
Reforming foreign aid.
Yes, reforming foreign aid! A
worthy topic for a chin-pulling
joint luncheon of the League of
Women Voters and the Council
on Foreign Relations. But as
the core of a challengers major
foreign-policy address amid a
Lehman-like collapse of the
Obama Doctrine?
It makes you think how far
ahead Romney would be if he
were actually running a cam-
paign. His unwillingness to go
big, to go for the larger argu-
ment, is simply astonishing.
For six months, hes been
matching Obama small ball for
small ball. A hit-and-run cri-
tique here, a slogan-of-the-
week there. His only momen-
tum came when he chose Paul
Ryan and seemed ready to
engage on the big stuff: Medi-
care, entitlements, tax reform,
national solvency, a restruc-
tured welfare state. Yet he has
since retreated to the small and
safe.
When youre behind, howev-
er, safe is fatal. Even his coun-
terpunching has gone minia-
ture. Obama has successfully
painted Romney as an out-of-
touch, unfeeling plutocrat
whose only interest is to cut
taxes for the rich. Romney has
complained in interviews that
its not true. He has proposed
cutting tax rates, while pledg-
ing that the share of the tax
burden paid by the rich re-
mains unchanged (by broad-
ening the base as in the wildly
successful, revenue-neutral
Reagan-ONeill tax reform of
1986).
But how many people know
this? Where is the speech that
hammers home precisely that
point, advocates a reformed tax
code that accelerates growth
without letting the rich off the
hook, and gives lie to the Oba-
ma demagoguery about dis-
mantling the social safety net
in order to enrich the rich?
Romney has accumulated
tons of cash for 30-second ads.
But unless theyre placed on
the scaffolding of serious
speeches making the larger
argument, they will be treated
as nothing more than tit for
tat.
Its time for Romney
to go big or go home

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Don Carey and
words by Mark E. Jones
THE Monday
night NFL
game between
the Green Bay
Packers and
the Seattle
Seahawks was
a microcosm
of beautiful America.
The Packers, Americas
Team because it is not owned
by any billionaire, but by thou-
sands of stockholders, is truly
a public team and would not
exist if the National Football
League was not a socialist
organization.
Because NFL teams share
TV revenues, Green Bay gets
just as much as a New York
team. It is pure socialism. It
creates parity.
If it were not for the social-
ist NFL, there would be no
Green Bay, Wisconsin, with an
NFL franchise.
The state of Wisconsin, how-
ever, after decades as the bas-
tion of middle-class, white,
working values, has gradually
become uppity, anti-union turf.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker
is the Sophia Loren of anti-
union allure.
He is bankrolled by the bil-
lionaire Koch brothers and
like-minded oligarchs of cap-
italism, whose idea of repub-
lic is take-no-prisoners cap-
italism. Walker this year
passed legislation to limit
collective bargaining for
public employees, which
caused a firestorm of protest in
Wisconsin and unnecessary
fighting among neighbors.
So here we are on a Monday
night with a minute left in the
game (and like an idiot I went
to work), thinking the Sea-
hawks had lost. I saw most of
the game, and it was a travesty
of officiating.
The Packers, the symbol of
middle-class, fair Cheese-
heads who have gradually
moved to the anti-labor side,
facing the Seahawks of Seattle,
the most liberal city on Earth,
and the owners were putting
up replacement referees
because their billionaire club
didnt want to give profession-
al referees, the guys we trust
every Sunday, a pension.
Seattle is so liberal that
conservatives are as rare as
20-somethings without a tat-
too, so there is not a lot of
Citizens United money spent
out here.
Washington state has the
chutzpah to elect two female
U.S. senators and a female
governor; it just legalized
same-sex marriage and in all
likelihood will be the first to
legalize pot.
Conservative groups chal-
lenged the same-sex marriage
law, so it must be approved
this fall on a referendum,
which should win big. Jeff
Bezos, CEO of Amazon, donat-
ed more than $2 million to the
cause. Not all billionaires are
Kochs.
The Seattle economy is hum-
ming, real estate is up for three
consecutive quarters and Boe-
ing, Microsoft, Amazon and
other employers are hiring at a
good clip. Last year, Microsoft
gave all of its employees a
$5,000 bonus, across the
board, to give the local econo-
my a boost.
While mean-spirited states
are trying to limit peoples
access to voting, Pennsylvania
leading the way (sadly), in
Seattle in the last election I
voted by mail. They send you a
ballot and you drop it off at the
library. (There is no such thing
as in-person voter fraud and
therefore no reason to pass
photo identification require-
ments other than to limit seg-
ments of the population from
voting.)
Seattle is one of the last
places where private unions
are viable. But more impor-
tant, its about people, not
unions. The city recently
passed a law requiring all em-
ployers to provide paid sick
days.
The minimum wage out here
is the highest in the country at
$9.04 an hour. In Pennsylvania
it is at the national shame:
$7.25.
I like it that one of the most
intelligent guys in town is
Ronald Reagan. And, like me,
he loved his dad.
The state is free from the
pernicious romp to privatize
everything from prisons to
schools in goose step with the
Cheney/Bush privatization of
our military. Seattle likes to
spend money on teachers and
building stuff.
Topics such as gay marriage
and female reproductive rights
are not discussed because it
shows you are a dummy.
So what happened in the
game?
The wrong team won be-
cause billionaires were more
intent on breaking a union
than letting professional refs
have a pension.
But well take the win.
(P.S.: RIP, Steve Sabol)
NFL owners penny-wise and pension foolish

YOU DONT have
to be an Islamo-
phobe to say,
Enough already.
Its time for U.S.
officials to stop
apologizing for the
YouTube video that
supposedly sparked recent riots in Islam-
ic countries. The video is merely a conve-
nient pretext for religious radicals and
irresponsible politicians to stir up anti-
Western anger; they would have found
another excuse if it hadnt surfaced.
In an effort to avoid violence in Pakis-
tan, the U.S. embassy in Islamabad
broadcast ads on local TV showing
American leaders denouncing the brief
film. I understand the impulse after
what happened in Libya, the embassy is
trying to protect its staffers. But attack-
ing the video doesnt get to the heart of
the problem.
Here are six things you need to know
about whats really going on.
One: The YouTube video was delib-
erately promoted by radical clerics in
Egypt, Pakistan and elsewhere to arouse
publics who otherwise wouldnt have
seen it. In Cairo, a radical sheikh aired it
on his satellite TV channel (allegedly
funded by Gulf money) and called for
protests.
Two: The violent demonstrators
represent only a minority of Muslims
(and their numbers in most countries
were relatively small). In Libya, the
attacks that killed Ambassador Chris
Stevens and three of his staff appear to
have been preplanned by radicals, sur-
prising the Libyan government. Libyan
good Samaritans carried Stevens to the
hospital, and were caught on amateur
video praising God that he appeared still
to be alive. In Tunis, the majority of
people also appeared genuinely shocked
when hard-line Salafis sacked the U.S.
embassy, and local businessmen offered
to help restore the destroyed American
school.
Three: Violent protests against
critiques of Islam have no roots in the
Muslim religion. As the grand mufti of
Saudi Arabia recently said, the web video
would never harm the noble Prophet in
any way, nor the religion of Islam. He
denounced the destruction of embassies
and public buildings as un-Islamic. Its
ironic to hear a leading Saudi cleric
condemn the violence given that private
Saudi money is probably financing the
hard-line clerics who promote it. But the
grand mufti was correct to bemoan the
fact that the violent reaction to the video
advances the negative stereotype of
Islam that the filmmaker wants to pro-
mote.
Four: The anger sparked by the
video has roots far deeper than this
dumb film. Pakistan is the perfect exam-
ple: a third of Pakistani children never,
ever attend school, the literacy rate bare-
ly tops 50 percent and the economy is in
the tank. The country has 90 million
youths under the age of 21, with no
prospect of jobs, and unable to afford
marriage, so you have a powder keg,
says Hussein Haqqani, the former Pakis-
tani ambassador to Washington, and
longtime critic of radical Islamic move-
ments in his country.
Five: Supposedly moderate Muslim
leaders are afraid to challenge the rad-
icals or want to play the populist card
to hide their economic failures. Thus, in
Egypt, instead of trying to calm people,
President Mohammed Morsis Muslim
Brotherhood called for a million-man
march against the video, until a phone
call from President Obama persuaded
him to call it off. Pakistani leaders also
called for a demonstration that was
manipulated by Islamists.
The White House must make clear
that its unacceptable for Muslim politic-
ians to abet violence against U.S. citizens
on grounds that Islam has been insulted.
If leaders such as Morsi or Pakistan
Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf dont
respond, its time to reconsider our help
with economic aid and loan forgiveness.
Six: Muslim leaders in Egypt, Pakis-
tan and elsewhere have the mistaken
idea that their blasphemy laws should be
applied elsewhere. This cant happen.
Egypts Morsi instructed his Washing-
ton embassy to bring charges against the
filmmaker. Clearly, he doesnt under-
stand U.S. protections of free speech
(despite a doctorate earned in Califor-
nia), or he is ignoring them to play to
the crowd.
Meantime, Ashraf called on Muslim
nations to band together to press the
United Nations to pass blasphemy laws,
outlawing criticism of religion. Presum-
ably that means his religion, since Pakis-
tans notorious blasphemy law is often
used to persecute minorities, especially
Christians.
This is a reminder that, despite our
many warts, the United States is more
tolerant toward other religions than
many Muslim majority countries. Within
Pakistan, minorities have been killed by
terrorist groups without stirring up the
anger invoked by the video. In other
Arab countries, insults to Christians,
Jews, Bahais, Ahmadis, and others rarely
muster government outrage.
Clearly, Ashrafs idea of promoting
global laws against blasphemy is a non-
starter. The entire world will not censor
itself to avoid offending a minority of
Muslims stirred up by radicals and irre-
sponsible populist leaders.
In the West, we have different laws
and customs, and that must be made
clear to Muslim leaders. If the French
satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo wants
to publish caricatures of Muhammad to
mock religious fundamentalism, it is
entitled to do so under French law. If
some crackpot in California makes a film
that is legal here, there are no grounds to
arrest him, no matter how obnoxious the
provocation. He is not violating Amer-
ican law.
Back in 2009, when Obama made his
address to Muslims in Cairo, he famous-
ly called for mutual respect between
cultures. That is what he must insist on
now.
Video just an excuse for radicals to incite violence in Middle East

Bet on Romney?
Better think twice
W
e are now less than six
weeks away from the
Nov. 6 elections, and I
feel sorry for my Republican
friends who are desperate to
oust President Obama from
office. They placed their hopes
on one Willard Mitt Romney,
the former Massachusetts
governor. But betting on Rom-
ney is a little like deciding to
place your chip on red, black
or the long-shot green.
Will we get the Mitt who
offered himself as the Mas-
sachusetts moderate, or the
Mitt who highlighted himself
as being severely conserva-
tive?
Would we get a Mitt who
vowed to protect a womans
right to choose, or would we
see the Mitt who recently
stated he wants the Supreme
Court to overturn Roe v. Wade
and that hes profoundly pro-
life?
Maybe we would get the
pro-health care mandate Mitt,
or maybe the Mitt who wants
full repeal of Obamacare.
Then again, perhaps we could
get the Mitt who recently told
a group of Latinos hes proud
to be the grandfather of Oba-
macare.
Its possible we could get the
Mitt who stated illegal im-
migrants should have a chance
to obtain citizenship, or could
it be the Mitt who said in 2007
that illegal immigrants should
receive no special pathways
to citizenship. It might even
be the Mitt who hoped illegal
immigrants would self-de-
port as part of his immigra-
tion policy.
Would it be the Mitt who
stated, Deadly assault weap-
ons have no place in Mas-
sachusetts? Or would we get
full-metal-jacket Mitt who
declared: I dont support any
gun control legislation; the
effort for a new assault weap-
ons ban, with a ban on semi-
automatic weapons, is some-
thing I would oppose?
Will we get the Mitt who
favored gays serving openly in
the military, or the Mitt who
felt dont ask, dont tell
should stay in force?
Maybe we would get the
Mitt who signed Grover Nor-
quists no-tax pledge, but then
again maybe we get the Mitt
who said signing such a docu-
ment would deny him the
opportunity to raise revenue.
Hopefully we would get the
Mitt who publicly stated hes
for the 100 percent of Amer-
icans. But wed probably get
the Mitt who privately af-
firmed hes not worried about
47 percent of us. Maybe wed
get the Mitt who remembered
his own mother and father
were on welfare for a time in
their lives, though most likely
wed get the red-meat Romney
only interested in pandering to
his base.
And if I were part of that
base, I wouldnt know where
to place my chip.

A reality check
on Pres. Obama
H
ere are five reasons to vote
for President Obama. In a
January 2009 radio ad-
dress, Obama announced he
was releasing a report based
on rigorous analysis that
charted unemployment
through 2013, so the Amer-
ican people can see exactly
what this plan (stimulus) will
mean for their families. The
report stated unemployment
would stand at 5.7 percent by
summer 2012 and 5.2 percent
by January 2013 after spending
about a trillion dollars of
stimulus.
If you believe the unemploy-
ment rate is 5.7 percent, fall-
ing to 5.2 percent by January,
then you need to vote for Oba-
ma and get a reality check.
While in San Francisco
speaking to a group of his
supporters, Obama defined
small-town Pennsylvanians
with the following statement:
they cling to guns or religion
or antipathy toward people
who arent like them or anti-
immigrant sentiment or anti-
trade sentiment as a way to
explain their frustrations. If
you have no self-respect and
agree with this, then you need
to keep him in office.
Real median household
income in March was down
$4,300 since Obama took
office in January 2009, ac-
cording to a Bloomberg news
report by Mike Dorning (April
30, 2012) titled Obama Fails
to Stem Middle-Class Slide He
Blamed on Bush. If youre OK
with a dwindling middle class
and want to participate in
Obamas trickle-up poverty,
then vote for Obama and enjoy
your limited station in life.
If you believe that an un-
elected board in Obamacare
should have control over what
medical procedures you de-
serve, then you need to vote
for Obama and get your affairs
in order. Buried in Section
3403 of Obamacare is a pow-
erful board of unelected bu-
reaucrats, the so-called Inde-
pendent Payment Advisory
Board. Tony Perkins of the
Family Research Council has
said the IPAB could lead
not only to the death of pa-
tients, but also to the death of
innovation.
If you believe that the pri-
ority for allocation of medical
resources is to provide coeds
with birth control free of
charge for recreational sex
over people suffering with
diabetes, cancer, MS, and so
on, then by all means vote for
Obama.

A peasant girl believes she hears voices,
says shes on a mission fromGod, leads an ar-
my against the English and crowns the dau-
phin, heir to the throne of France, so he can
become Charles VII.
Perhaps that sums up
what youve heard about
Joan of Arc, along with her
trial, execution and eventu-
al canonization as a saint.
But author and scholar
Nancy Goldstone has inves-
tigated another aspect of
Joans life, delving into the
hows and whys of a woman
who backed her efforts.
Yolande of Aragon, queen
of Sicily, was the dauphins
mother-in-law, andshe used
her wealth and influence to
make things happen for
Joan.
That takes nothing away
from Joans courage and
conviction, said Goldstone,
author of The Maid and
the Queen: The Secret His-
tory of Joan of Arc, which she will discuss
this week at Misericordia University.
Joan is completely genuine, Goldstone
said. But she hadhelpgetting there. No peas-
ant got in to see a king. It takes nothing away
fromher that someone else helpedher get in.
Calling Joan one of the most courageous
andinspiringpersons, manor woman, tohave
lived, Goldstone continued, She never ran
away. She just rode her horse out intothe mid-
dle of all those arrows and all those swords.
Thats what makes her so important. She
didnt shrink under battle. She was in fact
wounded in battle three times. Thats what
makes her such a marvel.
While Nancy Goldstone will discuss her re-
cent historical book at 7 p.m. Wednesday, her
husband, Larry Goldstone, at 11 a.m. Thurs-
day, will discuss his 2011project, a non-fiction
booktitledInherentlyUnequal: TheBetrayal
of Equal Rights by the Supreme Court, 1865-
1903.
InAmericanhistory we have this tendency
to jump over some of the bad periods or deal
withthemas if its anhistorical anomaly, Lar-
ry Goldstone said, explaining he prefers to
take an unflinching look at bad periods, in-
cluding Supreme Court decisions that, he ar-
gues, set the stage for Jim Crow laws.
To conclude the lecture series, the Gold-
stones, who live in Long Island, N.Y., will take
part together in a round-table discussion on
History, Literature and the Imagination,
starting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday
Working together for years, the couple co-
authored books as diverse as The Friar and
the Cipher, which is the saga of a mysterious
medieval manuscript kept at the Yale Univer-
sity Library, and Deconstructing Penguins,
which offers tips for parent-child book groups
Thenonedayoneof theGoldstones wanted
to include something in a book and the other
emphatically did not
Each of us was convinced the editor would
side with one of us, Nancy Goldstone said.
The editor did make a decision, which re-
sulted one half of the partnership disappoint-
ed.
The one who pouted will not be named,
Larry Goldstone said. But that author took to
heart the advice, If you want it so much, go
write your own book.
Writing separate books makes them more
prolific, said the Goldstones, who remain
huge fans of each others works.
Wetakea lookat history, LarryGoldstone
said.
We try to showyou the world today, Nan-
cy Goldstone said, by showing you the world
before.

all know

IF YOU GO
NEW YORK When the 2011-2012
Tony nominators ignored just about
everything that opened before last
spring, we wondered if producers
would bother with a fall season alto-
gether.
But here we are with 16 upcoming
Broadway openings, not counting
Elf and A Christmas Story: The
Musical at the holidays. And if we
add those, plus Bring It On and
Harvey, which opened in the sum-
mer, we get 20 productions for the
first half of the season, which ends
Dec. 31. Thats one more than the
number we had at this time last year
and the previous year.
Like last year, there are just as many
plays as musicals (five each), and
more play revivals (seven) than re-
turns of familiar musicals (three). The
other shocker, in our musical- and
Brit-obsessed corner of the culture, is
that all the new plays are by Ameri-
cans.
Speaking of things American, it just
may be excellent timing for Annie,
the little-orphan hit machine from
1977, whensome pundits ascribedthe
unlikely success of the sunny and sim-
ple showto something called Carter-
era optimism. No kidding.
The musical, with book by Thomas
Meehan, music by Charles Strouse
and lyrics by Martin Charnin, will be
directed this time by James Lapine,
the sophisticated fellow best known
for his collaborations with Stephen
Sondheim, who also happens to make
remarkable theater with child actors.
It may always be tomorrow some-
where in the world for the icon with
the orange poodle wig and the pooch
and the seven Tonys.
But this will be Broadways first
Annie revival since 1997, the 20th-
anniversary production that barely
ran seven months. Perhaps nobody
was talking about the New Deal in
those prosperous times, much less
singing about federal works projects.
The new revival has the advantage,
such as it is, of being a Depression-era
musical in a Depression-mentality
era.
Of course, neither Annie nor
Broadway statistics will be the real
story of the autumn. The news, just
like last year, will be the stars.

hen he visited the Lower East Side Tene-
ment Museum in New York in 2002, writ-
er/producer Jay Kholos remembered the
stories his grandfather had told him so
long ago.
Jewish people really werent wanted, Kholos said,
explaining why his grandfather fled Russia as a young
man. The Cossacks would be
coming through and raiding
the villages.
Kholos grandfather escaped
the pogroms of EasternEurope
and came to America, entered
through Ellis Island, and
worked hard to earn enough
money to send for his future
wife Kholos future Bubbie
to join himin the newland of
opportunity.
I got the idea in 2002; in
2003 the play opened off-
Broadway and ran for 16
months, Kholos said of his A
Stoop On Orchard Street.
The writer/producer recent-
ly arranged another run for the
play, on stage in Philadelphia
starting Oct. 7. But first
Bubbie, the grandmother of the family, shares a moment with young
Seama.
After his father leaves, young Benny assures his mother, sister and grandmother that hell be the man of the family.
A fruit peddler offers young Benny a job in A Stoop on Orchard
Street.
Playwright Jay Kholos playfully poses
on a stoop in downtown Wilkes-Barre,
the kind of place where the characters
in his play might gather.
Much of the neighborhood socializing takes place outside on the
steps in AStoop on Orchard Street, which will be presented at
the Jewish Community Center in Wilkes-Barre at 8 p.m. Oct. 6.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
The moon is no longer full,
but its still in your sign,
offering you more than the
usual amount of attention.
You will receive compli-
ments, encouragement
and congratulations.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Dont be surprised when
people gather around you.
Thats what happens to
people who create exciting
events and make their own
fun. You just cant help but
be effective in this regard.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Usually, a leap of faith
requires that you jump
into unknown territory.
But the leap of faith you
take now looks an awful
lot like you staying in
one place. By staying,
youre postulating that
things will get better and
they will.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Seek friends with simi-
lar interests. A sense of
belonging is whats needed
now, whether or not you
consciously realize it. Your
spirit will be made light by
a kindred soul.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you
dont feel as motivated as
youd like, your environ-
ment may be to blame.
Too many distractions
zap your energy. Clear
the clutter on surfaces to
restore your energy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You do not try to be an
intimidating presence, and
yet theres someone who
doesnt quite know how to
act around you. If you can
put this person at ease,
your life will get easier.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
The morning may feel like
someone called a meet-

purpose as to why. You will
realize that you have to
supply your own why for
the people who havent a
clue.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You may want more, but
thats only because you
dont fully realize what you
have. When you realize the
potential of all thats avail-
able to you, youll
be amazed at what you
can do.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). With so many people
trying to involve you in
their lives, you may
forget that youre the
one in charge of your
schedule. You stay
powerful and in control by
being slow to commit to
others.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). A change in your
schedule, eating habits or
responsibilities at home
will cause a degree of
stress, even though the
change is for the better. So
be good to yourself. Take
it easy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
There are choices on the
table. Decisions need to
be made now, or some
of those options will no
longer be available. Making
choices is work. Accept
the responsibility because
youre very good at
this now.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
The main mission of your
day could be derailed
by a host of interesting
tangents. Youll wonder
whether your original goal
is still a good one. For
now, assume it is and push
forward.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept.
30). Plans not only suc-
ceed this year; they tri-
umph. October brings a
financial bonus. Younger
friends will credit you
later for helping them
in November. Also,
November brings a sur-
prise announcement. Youll
finish home projects in
January. In love, refuse to
settle and agree to com-
promise, and your relation-
ships will rock. Cancer and
Virgo people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are:
33, 19, 24, 15 and 35.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles,
CA 90069
9/30
DEAR ABBY
Senioritis is contracted
by teens younger sister
Dear Abby:
A year ago
I remarried
and gained
three great
stepkids.
Im worried
about the oldest, who is a
senior (18). She doesnt care
about school anymore. Shes
smart enough. When she
tries, she gets As. But when
she doesnt want to do the
work, she gets Fs. There is
no in-between. Shes capable,
but lazy.
Her youngest sister (12)
is doing the same thing
now, too. Neither one is
using drugs or alcohol or
skipping school. They are
fundamentally good kids. I
recognize that its laziness
because I did the same thing
30 years ago. What turned
me around was the U.S.
Navy. I literally grew up on
an aircraft carrier.
Abby, until now I had
only sons. I understand boys
and men. Having daughters
now is a very steep learning
curve. I need suggestions on
how to help their mom par-
ent them through this rough
period. I love our children
deeply and want to be the
kind of stepdad God wants
me to be for them.
Clueless Stepdad
Dear Clueless: For a man
who signed himself clueless,
you have clear insight. You
and your wife should sched-
ule an appointment with
the oldest girls school coun-
selor and find out to what
degree her grade point aver-
age has been affected by her
laziness.
Then ask your stepdaugh-
ter what she plans to do
after high school. Does she
plan to go straight into a
minimum-wage job if she
can find one with little
chance of advancement?
Trade school? College? If
she wants to further her
education, she needs to
understand that schools
pay attention to applicants
high school records. At 18,
she should be treated like
the young adult she is, and
you and her mother deserve
some answers.
The 12-year-old is another
story. Find out from her
teachers whether she has
fallen behind in any of her
classes and see that she
gets tutoring if she needs
to catch up. Make sure she
completes her homework
assignments. You and her
mother should impress
upon her that you expect
the best shes capable of,
and for good grades there
will be rewards just as for
poor grades there will be
consequences, such as re-
duced privileges. Then
practice what you preach.
Dear Abby: My husband
and I are retired. He has
a small farm, which isnt
profitable, so he calls it his
hobby farm.
When we retired, we
agreed to have our main
meal at noon every day. I
work hard to have a nutri-
tious meal on the table
promptly at 12 noon. My
husband knows this, but
he comes in from working
whenever hes ready
sometimes hours late.
He always has an excuse.
He has a cellphone and
could call to let me know
hes going to be late, but he
rarely does. When he finally
gets in, the food is cold and
I am upset.
He thinks Im unreason-
able to expect him to be
on time or call. He has
never cooked a meal in his
life, so he has no idea what
is involved. Im fed up with
his behavior and need some
suggestions on how to han-
dle this.
Boiling Mad in
Alabama
Dear Boiling Mad: Perhaps
agreeing to have your main
meal together at noon was
unrealistic. Talk calmly to
your husband and ask if it
would be more practical to
schedule it for 1 p.m. or 2
p.m. That he wouldnt call
to let you know hes run-
ning late does seem incon-
siderate, and if the problem
persists, it might be better
for both of you if his main
meal consists of a sand-
wich he makes for himself
whenever he finally returns
home.

Stoop will visit the Jewish
Community Center in Wilkes-
Barre.
You dont have to be Jewish to
enjoy this play, Kholos said with
a chuckle. But it couldnt hurt.
Seriously, he said, he believes
the setting in Manhattans Lower
East Side and the characters
dreams of a better life will reso-
nate with many Americans
whose ancestors emigrated from
other countries.
The story isnt autobiographi-
cal, he says, except that he sprin-
kled some family names into the
script.
If you attend Sundays show
you will meet an old Vaudevillian
namedBenwhowill lookbackon
his life, in particular the year
1910. That was a particularly
challenging time for young Ben-
ny, who felt he had to become the
manof the house whenhis father,
Hiram, abandonedhis wife, Ruth,
and two children.
Seeking to fill the void in
Ruths life, a neighbor falls inlove
with her. He feels terribly guilty,
terribly conflicted because shes
still married, Kholos said, refer-
ring to the lyrics of Another
Mans Wife.
As to how the play turns out,
Kholos advisedyoutojointhe au-
dience and find out in person.
It is a very romanticized ver-
sion of what life was like, he
said. We showa little of the hard-
ship of 12 people living in a place
that has enough room for four,
but we really delve into the hopes
and dreams of people in a tene-
ment house.
They had no television, no ra-
dio, just the socializing withtheir
group on the stoop, and the gos-
sip.
There was always hope on the
stoop.

IF YOU GO
A stoop describes the high en-
trance steps that almost give the
old New York houses the appear-
ance of small castles. In the ghetto
neighborhoods especially, stoops
served many different functions:
Projected outward into the great
theater of the street, these elevat-
ed platforms were ideal for obser-
vation, courting, a chat, or gossip.
The first builders in the city
brought with them their customs
of erecting buildings that were
elevated (as protection against the
havoc wreaked by North Sea
floods) and flush to the street (to
make up for the lack of space in a
canal-dominated city like Am-
sterdam.) The early village of New
York thus assumed an identity
that, three centuries later, it still
retains and charmingly so along
certain streets and in certain
neighborhoods.

Single mom Katie Holmes, who had a

It would be nice if, next spring, the To-

them unforgettable.
BROADWAY
Continued fromPage 1F
Here are 16 big shows coming to Broad-
way this fall:
CHAPLIN: THE MUSICAL (BARRY-
MORE THEATRE, 243 W. 47TH ST. NOW
PLAYING). The most famous icon of silent
movies, Charlie Chaplin, becomes bio-
musical material, with Rob McClure play-
ing the British-born artist from his tough
boyhood on the streets through his death
at 88 in 1977. Thomas Meehan (Annie)
wrote the book, with music and lyrics by
Broadway newcomer Christopher Curtis
and direction by Warren Carlyle (Finians
Rainbow).
AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE (FRIED-
MAN THEATRE, 261 W. 47TH ST.,
OPENS THURSDAY). Henrik Ibsens
still-modern late-19th-century drama
about a doctor who tries to expose water
contamination hasnt been produced on
Broadway since a much earlier incarnation
of the Lincoln Center Theater did it in 1971.
The Manhattan Theatre Club brings a new
adaptation, first done in London in 2008,
and has cast such splendid actors as Boyd
Gaines and Richard Thomas. Doug Hughes
(Doubt) directs.
GRACE (CORT THEATRE, 138 W.
48TH ST., OCT. 4). Michael Shannon, the
deliciously creepy Prohibition guy in
Boardwalk Empire, has been delightfully
making the rounds in off-Broadway pro-
ductions this year. Now he comes to
Broadway with Paul Rudd and the redoub-
table Ed Asner in Craig Wrights dark
comedy about Gospel motels.
CYRANO DE BERGERAC (AMERICAN
AIRLINES THEATRE, 227 W. 42ND ST.,
OCT. 11). One of the most romantic of all
the classics returns for the first time since
Kevin Kline and Jennifer Garner brought it
to Broadway in 2007. This time, Edmond
Rostands drama about internal beauty
will star Douglas Hodge, Tony winner from
the most recent La Cage aux Folles, as
the poetic swordsman with the life-defin-
ing nose. Patrick Page, whose Green Gob-
lin was the only real fun in Spider-Man:
Turn Off the Dark, also stars.
EDWARD ALBEES WHOS AFRAID OF
VIRGINIA WOOLF? (BOOTH THEATRE,
222 W. 45TH ST., OCT. 13). The Steppen-
wolf revival of Albees devastating 1962
domestic dissection arrives with massive
acclaim both from Chicago and a Washing-
ton run. Directed by Pam MacKinnon
(Clybourne Park), the production stars
Tracy Letts best known as the playwright
of August: Osage County and the re-
markable Amy Morton. To add to the
sense of occasion, the play will open on its
50th anniversary.
THE HEIRESS (WALTER KERR THE-
ATRE, 219 W. 48TH ST., NOV.1). It will be
hard, at least for a few minutes, not to
picture Cherry Jones, so luminous as the
unmarried Catherine Sloper in the 1995
revival of Ruth and Augustus Goetzs 1947
adaptation of Henry James Washington
Square. On the other hand, the new
production has Jessica Chastain, Holly-
woods newest thinking-persons It Girl, in
her Broadway debut. Dan Stevens (Down-
ton Abbey) and David Strathairn co-star
in Moiss Kaufmans production.
ANNIE: THE MUSICAL (PALACE THE-
ATRE, 1564 BROADWAY, NOV. 8). Hey,
kids, watch out for the terrific Katie Finne-
ran as Miss Hannigan. Bet shell be the
scariest.
GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS (SCHOEN-
FELD THEATRE, 236 W. 45TH ST., NOV.
11). Two years ago, Daniel Sullivan directed
Al Pacino in that riveting production of
The Merchant of Venice. Now the two
pair up for a revival of David Mamets
merciless Pulitzer Prize-winning eviscer-
ation of competition and the American
dream. Pacino, who played upstart Ricky
Roma in the 1992 movie, ages here into
Shelley Levene, the character played on
film by Jack Lemmon. The unstoppably
charming Bobby Cannavale is Ricky now,
in a cast that also includes Richard Schiff
and Jeremy Shamos.
THE PERFORMERS (LONGACRE
THEATRE, 220 W. 48TH ST., NOV. 14). A
couple of high school buddies and their
women reconnect at the wait for it
Adult Film Awards in Vegas. The new
comedy by David West Read stars wait
again Henry Winkler and multitalented
Broadway hunk Cheyenne Jackson, and
promises sex, love and Barry Manilow.
SCANDALOUS: THE LIFE AND TRIALS
OF AIMEE SEMPLE MCPHERSON
(NEIL SIMON THEATRE, 250 W. 52ND
ST., NOV. 15). Kathie Lee Gifford may not
be the first, or maybe the 101st, celebrity
youd expect to find as the composer and
lyricist of a musical about the 1920s celeb-
rity evangelist, but get used to it. The
wonderful Carolee Carmello has been
recruited to play the soul-saving media
magnet.
REBECCA (BROADHURST THEATRE,
235 W. 44TH ST., NOV. 18). Direct well,
after six years from runs in Finland,
Japan and Austria comes this period
musical based on Daphne du Mauriers
30s-gothic mystery about the shadow of
a dead wife on a new married couple. The
production, reportedly a big one, was
supposed to open last season, but the
money is said to have run out. Francesca
Zambello, the opera director who staged
the European version, is joined now by
Michael Blakemore (Kiss Me Kate and a
specialist in the heady dramas of Michael
Frayn).
DEAD ACCOUNTS (MUSIC BOX THE-
ATRE, 239 W. 45TH ST., NOV. 29). The
new life of famous divorcee Katie Holmes
will be marked by her Broadway turn in
the New York premiere of Smash cre-
ator Theresa Rebecks five-character
comedy. Holmes plays a sister obsessed
with understanding the return of her
brother (Norbert Leo Butz). Jack OBrien
(The Coast of Utopia) directs.
THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD
(STUDIO 54, 254 W. 54TH ST., NOV. 13).
How odd that this is Broadways first
revival of the lark that began life under
Joseph Papps wing in 1985. Written and
composed by Rupert Holmes, the musical
is a murder mystery on the stage of a
Victorian music hall and, each night, the
audience chooses the killer. Scott Ellis
directs the production, which stars, among
other enticements, Chita Rivera as Prin-
cess Puffer and Stephanie J. Block as
young Edwin Drood.
THE ANARCHIST (GOLDEN THEAT-
RE, 252 W. 45TH ST., DEC. 2). For dec-
ades Patti LuPone has given lie to the
reasonable belief that David Mamet cant
write female characters. She has done
some of her strongest dramatic work in
Mamet plays and, in this two-fister, she is
joined by Debra Winger in her Broadway
debut. Winger plays warden to LuPones
inmate. Imagine the possibilities. Mamet
directs.
GOLDEN BOY (BELASCO THEATRE,
111 W. 44TH ST., DEC. 6). Seth Numrich
(best friend of Joey the horse in War
Horse) stars as a gifted violinist lured
into high-prize boxing in Clifford Odets
drama. Bartlett Sher, who staged South
Pacific and Odets Awake & Sing! for
the Lincoln Center Theater, directs the
same theaters 75th anniversary revival
with a cast that includes Danny Burstein
and Tony Shalhoub.
THE OTHER PLACE (FRIEDMAN
THEATRE, 261 W. 47TH ST., PREVIEWS
BEGIN DEC. 11): Laurie Metcalf was stag-
gering as an unhinged neurologist in the
off-Broadway premiere of this psycholog-
ical thriller by Sharr White and directed by
Joe Mantello. Now Broadway gets to see
this fascinating work.

o look, heres the thing: This. Is. Not.
A. Childrens. Book. If youre looking
for what made Harry Potter magical
Wizards! Spells! Flying Broom-
sticks! youre not going to find it.
If youre looking for what makes J.K. Row-
ling magical emotion, heart you will.
The Casual Vacancy is the first novel writ-
ten for adults fromRowling, the successful-be-
yond-belief author behind the Harry Potter
series about the young boy who discovers hes
a wizard.
Already at No. 1 on Amazon, the book has
gotten early buzz from references to sex and
drugs that might be a tadmature for the young-
est Potter fans.
Its set in the small British village of Pagford
and tells the story of what happens after the
unexpected death of a town official leaves a va-
cancy on the towns governing body. A long-
simmering conflict over what the solidly mid-
dle-class village should do about the residents
of a poverty-stricken, drug- and crime-infested
housing project on the edge of town gets heat-
ed, interwoven with the personal lives and
problems of Rowlings characters.
This isnt a book thats easy to fall in love
with, the way Harry Potter was with its char-
ming, winningheroandhis pluckyfriends, sav-
ing the world from evil with the help of a pow-
erful spell or two.
Even with its moments of humor, its a hard
story where some people just dont get saved,
because really, they never had a chance. Its fil-
led with often unlikeable people, some of
whom cross the line into ter-
rible. Theyre all unhappy in one
way or another, even if the only people
who know that are themselves, if that. They
can be judgmental, mean, petty and violent.
Some are damaged beyond repair. Even the de-
ceasedofficial, insome ways the most positive,
moral force in the story, is shown to have hurt
his wife with his dedication to his cause that
clearly came at her emotional expense.
Readers know these people. Theyre famil-
iar, with their moments of lashing out in anger
or hoping against hope that this time things
will be different. Theyre people the reader
feels something for, even its just pity, because
theyre struggling, because life canbe hardand
sometimes there just arent any breaks, be-
cause even people who look like nothing but
trouble can do something good. A number of
her characters are teenagers, trying to figure
out their places in the world, with all the emo-
tional peaks and valleys that can bring.
That ability to bring her characters to their
emotional life was a hallmark of the Harry Pot-
ter series it didnt become a global phenom-
enonjust because it was anexcitingadventure,
but because there was a real heart to it, charac-
ters who had both strengths and weaknesses,
who struggled with their choices.
Thats what makes this book worth it, de-
spite a slow start and sometimes too much of
the descriptions and adjectives that added life
to Harry Potter but at times tend to bog Row-
ling down here. Thats what makes the books
ending scenes so heartbreaking turning the
page seems unbearable, but not as much as
putting down the book would be.
The Casual Vacancy (Little, Brown and Com-
pany), by J.K. Rowling.

ONCORD, N.H.
For a small state,
NewHampshire of-
fers a variety expe-
riences for free in
thefall, whether its
scenic drives, hiking, moose
watching, browsing antiques
shops and spotting huge pump-
kins. Foliage reports show leaf
color has started showing up in
the Great North Woods, White
Mountains and Lakes regions,
and the state just released a fo-
liage tracker to help visitors find
the best spots. The states tou-
rism division has also started a
new campaign this year, Live
Free and ... The fill-in-the-blank
play on the state motto, Live
Free or Die, suggests that there
many possibilities when it comes
to exploring New Hampshire.
Here are a few suggestions to en-
joy the beautiful foliage, water-
ways and mountains in the state
at no cost:
KANCAMAGUS HIGHWAY:
The 34.5-mile (55.5-kilometer)
east-west drive on State Route
112 winds through the White
Mountains between the towns of
Lincoln and Conway. There are
no restaurants, gas stations or
other amenities; the emphasis is
on the stunning natural beauty
surrounding you. Visitors can
seek out hiking trails, camp-
grounds and waterfalls. Some ar-
eas, such as the Rocky Gorge,
were damaged during Tropical
Storm Irene but have since been
restored. Some color already is
showing, but the maple, birch
and beech trees are at their peak
usually in the first and second
weeks of October. Details at
http://www.visitnh.gov or
www.kancamagushighway.com .
CAMPING: Day use and camp-
ing fees are not charged at 26
camping sites, trailheads, ponds
and picnic areas in the White
Mountain National Forest. This
is for the adventurous type who
wants to backpack in and camp
off the trail or at a backcountry
shelter or tent platform in unde-
veloped or wilderness areas. Oth-
er free activities include hiking,
biking, scenic drives. The trails,
some of themheading up a fewof
the 4,000-foot (1,200-meter)
mountains, offer varying degrees
of difficulty. For more free oppor-
tunities, information and back-
country rules visit www.fs.us-
da.gov/whitemountain
MOOSE WATCHING: Theres
still a good chance to view a
moose in New Hampshires
North Country through mid-Oc-
tober. Some companies offer
moose-watching tours, but the
intrepid traveler can set out at
dusk on Route 3 in Pittsburg,
Route16 in Errol and other roads
to try to spot one. Moose are un-
predictable, so its common to
see the Brake for Moose signs
up north. More information can
be found at www.nhgrand.com/
itineraries.aspx .
QUIETESCAPES: NewHamp-
shire has many peaceful, scenic
settings such as the Cathedral of
the Pines in Rindge, an open-air
cathedral on a hilltop in the
southwest part of the state with a
great view of the Mount Monad-
nock. Stones taken from across
the country and from overseas
make up an altar recognized by
Congress as a National Memorial
to American men and women
who lost their lives in war. The
site holds public events promot-
ing peace, interfaith understand-
ing and respect for the environ-
ment. It is free and open through
Oct. 31. Information is available
at www.cathedralofthepines.org.
SURFING: Not into leaf-peep-
ing? Turn to the ocean beaches.
The sand-sculpting competitions
and sunbathers may be gone, but
New Hampshires mere 17 miles
(27 kilometers) of coastline are
attracting more surfers in wet-
suits, of course this time of
year. The watch for hurricanes
and other extreme weather con-
ditions may keep some wary, but
surfers say they contribute to
some of the best surfing condi-
tions in the Northeast. Surf spots
include North Hampton Beach,
Jenness Beach, Rye Rocks and
The Wall on Route 1A for those
who want to ride the waves, or
just watch. Information on condi-
tions can be found at magicsea-
weed.com .
A colorful fall in New Hampshire
AP PHOTOS
Peak fall foliage colors come alive in the White Mountain National Forest in Twin Mountain, N.H.
The highest point of the Kancamagus Highway is seen in Albany ,
N.H. The scenic road passes through New Hampshires White
Mountain national forest and is free to drive. An adventurer surfs off New Hampshires coast line in Hampton,
N.H. When the weather gets bad the surf gets great and is free
along the states coastline.
Moose-watching, surfing and more:
New England state offers plenty to do

Advertising Projects Writer
Pull up a chair and get ready to enjoy
the change of seasons from the veranda
of this unique home at 54 Loop Rd. in his-
toric Glen Summit. Reminiscent of one
you might nd in Savannah or Charles-
ton, this covered porch spans the rear
of the home and offers a mix of open air
space with windows here and there, all of
which offer a view of the swimming pool
and landscaped yard. Electric hurricane
shutters provide protection in inclement
weather.
This veranda is just one of the many
amenities in this 3,050-square-foot home
on a two-acre lot listed by Maribeth
Jones of Poggi of Prudential Poggi
& Jones Real Estate for the recently
reduced price of $450,000. An adjacent
piece of property is also available at a
sale price of $550,000 for 4.13 acres.
Highlights include a custom kitchen
with cherry cabinets and plenty of tile, an
artists studio located above the three-car
garage, an enclosed custom dog yard,
and a built-in generator. There is also a
full security system.
The exterior features white vinyl sid-
ing with a forest green front door. The
front foyer offers a look at hardwood
ooring found throughout much of the
rst oor.
French doors open to the left to the
17-by-14 dining room, where there is a
panel of ve front-facing windows and el-
egant crown molding accenting pale pink
walls. A right off the foyer leads into the
14-by-13 living room, which is much the
same with windows front, taupe walls and
more of the hardwood ooring.
A library is located off the living room
has its own panel of ve windows facing
front, and a full wall of built-in bookcases.
This cozy room has forest green walls
and hardwood ooring.
All eyes are sure to be on the natural
stone replace with stone hearth and
wooden mantle in the nearby family
room. This 21-by-15 space has knotty
pine wainscoting, hunter green walls,
and a beamed ceiling. There is a full wall
of built-ins with space for an entertain-
ment system.
The 23-by-14 ultra-modern kitchen
is pleasing on the eye thanks to cherry
cabinets topped by cream Formica
countertops punctuated by top-of-the-line
stainless steel appliances, including two
wall ovens, cooktop, dishwasher and an
oversized refrigerator. An eye-catching
modern light hangs above a large island,
