Story, 1C
The majority of municipal pen-
sion plans in Luzerne County are
in better shape than two years
ago, but many communities still
face challenges in ensuring they
can meet financial obligations
owed to current and future reti-
rees, according to a recently re-
leased state report.
The report by the Public Em-
ployee Retirement Commission
shows 22 of the 55 municipalities
andother government entities re-
viewed had pension plans that
are in a distressed financial state.
Thats down from 28 communi-
ties that had distressed plans in
2010.
While thats good news, the da-
ta shows many communities suf-
fered setbacks that caused the
overall financial health of their
plans to decline. Of the 55 plans,
26 saw a decline in the plans
overall value.
PERC evaluates defined-bene-
fit pension plans based on their
funding ratio, which measures
the percentage of liabilities cov-
ered by a plans assets. The more
the liabilities exceed assets, the
lower a plans funding ratio.
The funding ratio plays a key
role in determining how much
taxpayer mon-
ey known as
the minimal
municipal obli-
gation -- a mu-
nicipality must
put into the
fund to ensure
it remains sta-
ble. The worse
a plans condition, the more mon-
ey that must be paid in.
Plans with funding ratios of 90
or higher are considered not dis-
tressed; ratios between 70 and 89
are minimally distressed; ratios
of 50 to 69 are moderately dis-
tressed while a ratio below 50 is
severely distressed.
In Luzerne County, nine com-
munities on the distressed list in
2010 bettered their bottom lines
to the point they are no longer

PENSION FUNDS THAT CHANGED STATUS SINCE 2010
Public pensions
face obstacles
Some Luzerne County
municipalities improve, others
decline in funding for plans.

The worse a
plans condi-
tion, the more
money that
must be paid
in.
The financial condition of mu-
nicipal pension plans statewide
showed overall improvement
from2010 to 2012, but economic
experts caution the upswing is
not a sign troubles plaguing the
pension systems are over.
A report by the Public Em-
ployees Retirement Commis-
sionrevealedthe number of pen-
sion plans statewide in a dis-
tressed financial state de-
creased from 662 in 2010 to 638
in 2012. The overall combined
deficit of the plans also de-
creased from roughly $2 billion,
to $1.9 billion.
Those are positive signs, but
economists remain concerned
that numerous issues with the
funding structure of pension
plans mean they will not be able
to keep up with
rising de-
mands as more
people retire.
Its a ray of
sunshine in the
coming storm
clouds, but it is
not over yet by
any means, said Gerald Cross,
executive director of the Penn-
sylvania Economy League.
There are still fundamental
weaknesses. The long-term out-
look has not changed.
Cross said the improvement
between 2010 and 2012 was
largely based on asset apprecia-
tion. Statewide the plans sawas-
sets increase from$7.5 billion to

TUNKHANNOCKIt was the
summer of 1971 when Charlie
Kraynack entered Gays True
Value Hardware Store to buy a
swimming pool kit to replace
chemicals in an old kit that had
driedup. Thats whenhe met Ge-
orge Gay.
Mr. Gay said, Oh, dont
spend all that money for a whole
new kit. I can
order you the
refills, Kray-
nack said.
Gay took a
small scrap of
paper from his
shirt pocket
and scribbled a
note. Kraynack
and his daugh-
ter followed
himtothe back
of the store,
where Gay
opened a foot-
locker-sized
chest contain-
ing a big pile of
similar notes.
He tossed
in our note,
turned to us
and said, We
will call you
when it comes
in. Sure enough, in about a
weeks time, we got a call from
Gays. The chemicals were in
and the message left said they
would be on the steps of the
store for Kraynack to pick up.
Now thats service, Kray-
nack said.
That was 41 years ago Ge-
orge Papa Gay died in 2004.
The store, now in its 100th
year of operation, is run by Pa-
pas two sons Doug, 69, and
Dave, 65.
Despite the legacy, the future
of Gays is uncertain.
CVS Pharmacy Co. wants to
buy the property andbuilda new
store.
If the negotiations are resolv-
ed and CVS takes ownership of
the property, Dave will retire and
travel, Doug said.
But DougGay whohas a son,
Rick, at the business and anoth-
er, Dan, who will return to work
there soon -- wants to reopen at a
new location out of the flood
plain.
And the 20-plus employees of
Gays and just about everybody
in the greater Tunkhannock area
feel the hardware store where
everybodyknows your nameand
sells everything anybody would
ever need must stay

Doug Gay, co-owner of Gays True Value Hardware in Tunkhannock, may relocate the store that first opened in 1913. The business
was heavily flooded in 2011. Many say Gays has items that just cannot be found anywhere else.

LOTTERY SUMMARY
PROVIDENCE, R.I. Retired
social worker Jim Gillis was told
his $36,000 Rhode Island state
pension would increase by $1,100
next year to keep up with infla-
tion. But lawmakers suspended
annual increases, leaving Gillis
wondering howhell pay medical
bills and whether hed been be-
trayed by his former employer.
When youre working, youre
told youll get cer-
tain things, and you
retire believing that
to be the case, Gil-
lis said. He and oth-
er retirees are chal-
lenging the pension
changes in a court
battle thats likely
to have national im-
plications as other
states follow Rhode
Islands lead.
Cities and states
around the country
are shoring up bat-
tered retirement
plans by reducing
promised benefits
to public workers
and retirees. All
told, states need
$1.4 trillion to fulfill
their pension obligations. Its a
yawning chasm that threatens to
wreck government budgets and
prompt tax hikes or deep cuts to
education and other programs.
The political and legal fights
challenge the clout of public-sec-
tor unions and test the venerable
idea that while state jobs pay less
than private-sector employment,
they come with the guarantee of
early retirement and generous
benefits.
The actions taken by states
vary. California limitedits annual
pension payouts, while Kentucky
raised retirement ages and sus-
pended pension increases. Illi-
nois reduced benefits for new
employees and cut back on auto-
matic pension increases. New
Jersey last year increased em-
ployee retirement contributions
and suspended pension increas-
es.
Nowhere have the changes
been as sweeping as in Rhode Is-
land, where public sector unions
are suing to block an overhaul
passed last year. The law raised
retirement ages, suspended pen-
sion increases for years and cre-
ated a newbenefit plan that com-
bines traditional pensions with
something like a 401(k) account.
This saved $4 billion for the
people of Rhode Island over 20
years, said state Treasurer Gina
Raimondo, a Democrat who
crafted the overhaul. Rhode Is-
land is leading the way. I expect
others to follow, frankly because
they have to.
Public employee unions say
Rhode Island is reneging on
promises to workers.
What they did was illegal,
said Bob Walsh, executive direc-
tor of the National Education As-
sociation Rhode Island. Were
deep into a real assault on labor.
It worries me that people who
purport themselves as Demo-
crats do this.
The court case foreshadows
likely battles else-
where as states
grapple with their
own pension prob-
lems. In the past
two years, 10 states
suspended or cut
retiree pension in-
creases; 13 states
now offer hybrid re-
tirement plants that
combine pensions
with 401(k)-like
plans.
Forty-three
states from 2009 to
2011did something,
but in many cases
something was not
enough, said Da-
vid Draine, a re-
searcher who tracks
pension changes at
the Pew Center on the States.
States are discovering the po-
litical challenge of reining in pen-
sions is only one step in a battle
ultimately won or lost in the
courts.
A plan to enroll new Louisiana
state workers in a 401(k)-like re-
tirement planis being challenged
by retirees. New Hampshire is
defending a law that cuts pen-
sion benefits and increases em-
ployee contributions.
California Gov. Jerry Brown
last month approved higher re-
tirement ages and contribution
rates for some state workers and
a $132,000 cap on annual pension
payouts. The states two main
pension funds the California
Public Employees Retirement
System and the California State
Teachers Retirement System
are underfunded by $165 billion.
Brown said the changes may
lead to bigger pension reforms in
the future. Unions are ready for a
fight.
Any additional pension re-
form they try to do will be met
with serious opposition, said
Dave Low, of Californians for Re-
tirement Security, which repre-
sents 1.5 million public workers.
Public employees have become
the whipping boy.
States are reducing
pension benefits
All told, states need $1.4
trillion to fulfill their pension
obligations.

WILKES-BARREThemusic
and flavor of the Emerald Isle
permeated the F.M. Kirby Cen-
ter for the Performing Arts on
Saturday as the Irish singing
group Celtic Thunder brought a
greatest hits tour to town.
The five-mangroupis another
of those PBS phenomena, much
like countryman Daniel ODon-
nell and the similar Celtic Wom-
an. Since making its debut in
Dublin in August 2007, Celtic
Thunder has sold millions of
CDs and DVDs, starred in six
PBS specials and was named the
Billboard Top World Artist
twice.
Saturdays show was a bit dif-
ferent thanthe last fewtimes the
group has been in the area. For
starters, two of its members
have changed (original singers
Paul Byromleft tostart a soloca-
reer andDamianMcGinty left to
become a star of TVs Glee),
and they are now under the di-
rection of David Munro instead
of longtime musical director
Phil Coulter.
But the more things change,
the more they stay the same.
For the first half of the show,
Celtic Thunder alternated nice-
ly between group numbers and
solo spotlights, andbetweentra-
ditional favorites and original
material. In the second half,
they also mixed in some more
contemporary tunes such as
Garth Brooks Friends in Low
Places, Billy Joels Shes Al-
ways a Woman andMichael Bu-
bles Home.
And the group members
now consisting of originals Ge-
orge Donaldson, Ryan Kelly and
Keith Harkin plus newer
recruits Emmet Cahill andColm
Keegan(andjoinedandtimes by
Neil Byrne) also played instru-
ments on stage for the first time.
Harkin, the groups resident
heartthrob with his long, blond
hair, was the first to speak to the
Kirby Center crowd, telling
them the group did a poll to see
what fans wanted to hear on this
tour and they quickly found out
the fans wanted to hear all seven
Celtic Thunder albums in their
entirety. He sang old favorite
The Island after that, andlater
in the showstrummed an acous-
tic guitar on Nilssons Everybo-
dys Talking and Dont Forget
About Me, the first single from
his recently-releasedfirst soloal-
bum.
Kelly later assured the audi-
ence that the greatest hits tour
did not signal the end of Celtic
Thunder.
We are currently working on
a totally new show, with 30
tracks you have never heard by
Celtic Thunder before, he said.
You will be able to see that in
February or March, and we will
be happy to come back to
Wilkes-Barre, if you will have
us.
The audience was into the
performance from the opening
minutes, even clapping along to
the instrumental prelude. They
heartily sang along to the
groups old favorites, and stood
and clapped enthusiastically
during some of the evenings
numbers.
Highlights of the first half in-
cluded Isle of Hope, Isle of
Tears, a song the group has bor-
rowedfromCeltic Woman, The
Galway Girl (with all five mem-
bers of the group playing instru-
ments), Black Velvet Bands
and Remember Me.
Standouts after the intermis-
sion included the aforemen-
tioned cover tunes plus the
group number Dulaman and
Donaldsons solo onCats inthe
Cradle.
If you missed Celtic Thunder
on Saturday evening, there are
two more shows within driving
distance: Oct. 11 at the Broome
County Arena in Binghamton,
N.Y., and Oct. 13 at the Tower
Theatre in Philadelphia.
Or you can surely catch them
again on PBS.

Officer out of hospital
The Wilkes-Barre police officer
wounded in a gunfight that killed a
man wanted for attempted homicide in
Philadelphia was released from Geis-
inger Wyoming Valley Medical Center
Saturday.
Sgt. Matthew Stash, 43, was shot in
the leg while he and five other mem-
bers of a fugitive task force made up of
federal, state and local law enforce-
ment officers served a warrant Friday
morning for Robert Montgomery at his
fathers apartment in the Sherman Hills
high-rise building.
Montgomery, 29, was killed in the
shootout and his father, 61-year-old
Robert J. Montgomery, was wounded.
The elder Montgomery was listed in
serious condition at the medical center
Saturday night.
Luzerne County District Attorney
Stefanie Salavantis said based on a
preliminary investigation by state po-
lice, Stash and the other task force
members involved in the shooting were
cleared of charges. However, she did
not rule out filing a charge of harboring
a fugitive against the elder Montgom-
ery and said the investigation is ongo-
ing.

ing $208.
District Justice John E. Hasay held a
hearing on Sept. 25 on the charges of

NEW YORK
Suspects appear in courts
A
partially blind Egyptian-born
preacher and four other terrorism
suspects appeared in federal courts
Saturday, hours after they lost year-
slong extradition fights in Britain and
were transported to the U.S. under
tight security to face trial.
The preacher, Abu Hamza al-Masri,
entered no plea to charges of conspir-
ing with Seattle men to set up a terror-
ist training camp in Oregon and of
helping abduct 16 hostages, two of
them American tourists, in Yemen in
1998.
Al-Masri has hooks in place of hands,
but he came into court without them
and both arms exposed through his
short-sleeved blue prison shirt. His
court-appointed lawyer, Sabrina Shroff,
asked that his prosthetics be immedi-
ately returned so he can use his arms.
WAYNE, N.J.
12 hurt when bus overturns
A tour bus from Canada carrying
about 60 people bound for a New York
City church event overturned on a
highway exit ramp in northern New
Jersey, slid down an embankment and
landed on its side early Saturday, in-
juring about a dozen who were aboard,
authorities said.
Some windows burst during the
crash and their frames pinned three
people, but they were quickly freed and
taken to hospitals with the other vic-
tims. None of the injuries were consid-
ered life-threatening, according to state
police, and most of the victims were
being treated for cuts, bruises and
soreness. The driver told authorities he
had a gash in his arm.
Passengers told the Star-Ledger of
Newark that they were Seventh-day
Adventists headed to an event in
Brooklyn.
JERUSALEM
Israeli jets down drone
Israel scrambled fighter jets to in-
tercept a drone Saturday that crossed
deep into Israeli airspace from the
Mediterranean Sea, shooting the air-
craft down over the countrys southern
desert, the military said.
The incident marked the first time in
at least six years that a hostile aircraft
has penetrated Israels airspace, and
Israeli officials said they were taking
the incident seriously, raising the possi-
bility of retaliatory action.
It was not immediately clear who
launched the drone, but suspicion
quickly fell on the Lebanese Islamic
militant group Hezbollah. The Iranian-
backed group is known to have sent
drones into Israeli airspace on several
previous occasions.
DETROIT
Recalls for Chrysler, Honda
Chrysler says its recalling Ram1500
and Dodge Dakota trucks from the
2009-2010 model year because a lack of
adhesive may cause the rear axle pin-
ion nut to loosen.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration said Saturday that if
that happens, the axle can lock up, and
the vehicle could lose control and
crash.
Honda Motor Co. is recalling CR-V
crossovers from the 2002 to 2006 mod-
el years because an electrical switch in
the drivers side door could melt and
cause a fire.
Government and company officials
say there have been 15 reports of rear
axle failure, including four that result-
ed in a loss of vehicle control. The
driver crashed into a concrete barrier
in one case. There have been three
minor injuries.

HARRISBURG Jerry Sandusky
should be sent to prison for life when a
judge sentences him Tuesday, according
to several of the jurors who convictedthe
former Penn State assistant coach of mo-
lesting several boys over a period of
years.
None of the jurors interviewed by The
Associated Press said they have had sec-
ond thoughts about their June verdict,
and several plan to attend the sentenc-
ing.
There isnt a sentence that I believe is
harsh enough for what he has done and
how it has affected the university, said
Joan Andrews, a juror who has worked
for Penn State for 41
years and held football
season tickets since
1969. I dont think
theres been one indi-
vidual in this entire
campus that has not
been affected by this.
Four jurors said they
plan to be in the courtroom when Sand-
usky, 68, learns the penalty for sexually
abusingboyshemet throughacharityfor
at-riskchildren. Sanduskys ownattorney
expects his client to be handed a long
sentence from Judge John Cleland after
conviction on 45 counts.
Although a list of jurors has not been
released by Cleland, the AP was able to
contact five of them. They said they re-
cently received a letter fromthe court in-
forming them about the sentencing and
offering to have a court official meet
them outside the courthouse.
Acourt systemspokesman said the ju-
rors are guaranteed a seat but wont nec-
essarily be sitting together.
Only one of the five, retiredPennState
soil sciences professor Daniel D. Fritton,
said he would not attend.
Idjust liketostayout of thelimelight,
for one thing, Fritton said. I figure I
could read in the paper what happens.
Gayle Barnes, a homemaker and for-
mer school district employee, said she
thinks a lot about the victims, particular-
ly the eight who testified against Sand-
usky and provided what she considers
the critical evidence of guilt. She said he
deserves life in prison.
I do still feel good, what we as jurors
did, Barnes said. I didnt go there say-
ing off the bat hes guilty. I needed to lis-
ten to every single thing that was said.
Barnes saidshe has beenintouchwith
a fifthjuror andanalternate juror who al-
so plan to attend the sentencing.
High school science teacher Joshua
Harper, who has bachelors and masters
degrees from Penn State, said that he
takes pride in having served on the jury,
andthat theguiltyverdict was not a close
call. He wants Sandusky put away for
the rest of his life, really.
This is what prisons are for, you
know, Harper said. I mean, I dont think
you let a guy loose like that.
He also felt the victim testimony was
pivotal.
It was such a consistent pattern of be-
havior, Harper said. It was just so solid.
The defense was just so thin. There was
no evidence that these kids were lying.
Even the minor inconsistencies that the
defensetriedtobringupanddidbring
up that made it more convincing.
Through a relative, juror Ann T. Van
Kuren said she also plans to attend.
Barnes and Harper both said they
hoped to learn more about what Penn
State officials did or did not do in 1998
and 2001 after getting complaints about
Sandusky showering with boys.
Jurors favor life for Sandusky
None of the jurors interviewed had
second thoughts about June verdict
and some will attend sentencing.

WASHINGTON A month
before Election Day, President
Barack Obamas campaign and
Democrats postedanimpressive
fundraising haul, easing the par-
tys concerns that he would face
a significant money disadvan-
tage against his well-financed
Republican rival in the crucial
closing days. Romney shrugged
off a drop in unemployment, an
issue at the heart of the race,
contending its crystal clear a
jobs crisis endures.
Bolstered by the Democratic
National Convention, Obama
and his party Saturday reported
a combined take of $181 million
for September, their best fun-
draising month of the campaign
and just short of their record of
$190 million in the 2008 cam-
paign, also in September. Rom-
neys campaign has not released
its report for the month yet.
It was oddly quiet one month
out. Obama took time off for a
20th anniversary celebration
with his wife, Michelle, post-
poned from the day of the first
presidential debate last week,
while Romney devoted time to
preparing for the next debate,
Oct. 16 in Hempstead, N.Y., be-
fore a Saturday evening rally in
Apopka, Fla..
But the money machine was
grinding relentlessly. Republi-
can running mate Paul Ryan
scheduled an evening fundraiser
in Milwaukee, Wis., and neither
party let up in their appeals for
cash for the frantic final weeks
ahead. Ryan and Vice President
Joe Biden go head-to-head in a
debate Thursday inDanville, Ky.
There is exactly one month
left to go until Election Day,
Obama campaign manager Jim
Messina said in an email pitch.
The stakes are toohighfor us to
take our foot off the gas now.
The president was scheduled to
launch a lucrative and celebrity-
studded fundraising swing to
Los Angeles and San Francisco
onSundayandMondayfollowed
by a campaign rally in battle-
ground Ohio.
Republicans and Romney
himself have seemed invigorat-
ed by his spirited leadoff debate
performance against a subdued
president, whichplayedout for a
huge national TV audience, esti-
mated at more than 67 million,
just as voters at-large are tuning
in to the campaign.
But then came the report Fri-
day showing unemployment fell
inSeptember from8.1percent to
7.8 percent, marking the first
time the rate dippedbelow8per-
cent since the start of Obamas
presidency.

VATICAN CITY A painful and da-
maging chapter in Pope Benedict XVIs
papacy closed Saturday with the convic-
tion of his former butler on charges he
stole the pontiffs private letters and
leaked them to a journalist. But ques-
tions remain as to whether anyone else
was involved in the plot, and when the
pope will pardon his once-trusted aide.
Paolo Gabriele, until recently affec-
tionately dubbed Paoletto by his in-
timate pontifical family, stood stone-
faced as Judge Giuseppe Dalla Torre
read out the conviction and sentenced
him to 18-months in prison for the grav-
est Vatican security breach in recent
memory.
The decision, reached after just two
hours of deliberations, capped a remark-
able weeklong trial that saw the popes
closest adviser, Monsignor Georg Gaen-
swein, and a half dozen Vatican police
officers testify about a betrayal of the
pope that exposed the unseemly side of
the Catholic Churchs governance.
The highest-profile case to come be-
fore a court that usually handles 30
cases of petty theft a year ended none
too soon: On Sunday, Benedict opens a
two-week synod, or meeting of the
worlds bishops, summoned to Rome to
chart the churchs future evangelization
mission and celebrate the 50th anniver-
sary of the Second Vatican Council. By
putting the embarrassing leaks scandal
behind it, the Vatican has removed a
major and unwelcome distraction.
Gabriele was accused of stealing the
popes private correspondence and pass-
ing it on to journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi,
whose book revealed the intrigue, petty
infighting and allegations of corruption
and homosexual liaisons that plague the
Vaticans secretive universe.
Gabriele has said he leaked the docu-
ments because he felt the pope wasnt
being informed of the evil and corrup-
tion in the Vatican, and that exposing
the problems publicly would put the
church back on the right track.
In his final appeal to the court Sat-
urday morning, Gabriele insisted he
never intended to hurt the church or the
pope.
The thing I feel strongly in me is the
conviction that I acted out of exclusive
love, I would say visceral love, for the
church of Christ and its visible head,
Gabriele told the court in a steady voice.
I do not feel like a thief.
The sentence was reduced in half to
18 months from three years because of a
series of mitigating circumstances, in-
cluding that Gabriele had no previous
record, had acknowledged that he had
betrayed the pope and was convinced,
albeit erroneously, that he was doing
the right thing, Dalla Torre said.
Gabrieles attorney, Cristiana Arru,
said the sentence was good, balanced
and said she was awaiting the judges
written reasoning before deciding
whether to appeal.

PARIS Police carried out raids
across France onSaturday after DNAona
grenade that exploded last month at a ko-
sher grocery store led them to a suspect-
ed jihadist cell of young Frenchmen re-
cently converted to Islam.
The man whose DNA was identified,
named by police as Jeremy Sydney, was
killed by police after he opened fire on
them, slightly wounding three officers in
the eastern city of Strasbourg. Officials
saidhe hadbeenunder surveillance since
last spring around the time a French
Islamic went on a shooting rampage
against a Jewish school and French sol-
diers, killing seven people.
Eleven other suspects were arrested
across the country Saturday, accordingto
the Sipa news agency. One man was car-
rying a loaded gun, and police found
weapons, cash and a list of Paris-area Is-
raeli associations during the raids.
Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said
all the arrested suspects were French and
recent converts to Islam. They were all
born in the 1980s or early 1990s. Four of
the men involved in the raid had written
wills.
You can imagine what their other
plans couldhavebeen, counterterrorism
official Eric Voulleminot said at a news
conference with Molins.
The prosecutor described 33-year-old
Sydney, sentencedin2008 to two years in
prison for drug trafficking, as a delin-
quent who converted to radical Islam.
A statement from President Francois
Hollande praised the police for the raids
andsaidthe state wouldcontinue topro-
tect the French against all terrorist
threats.
Last months firebombing of the groce-
ry, in a Jewish neighborhood in the Paris
suburb of Sarcelles, happened on Sept.
19, the same day a French satirical paper
published crude caricatures of the Proph-
et Muhammad.

When she sent letters to the
various NASCAR drivers, musi-
cians, actors and reality show
stars, the response was over-
whelming.
I wrote to them and told
them that the economy was bad
in this area and it would be a
blessing if they could help the
people in the community, she
said.
Polinski, 43, said funds raised
during the event would help the
church continue to provide
community outreach programs.
Helping out at the busy con-

seeders soldfor between$10 and
$160 Saturday.
In total, Trimble said, the city
grossed about $14,000 from the
sale, 10 percent of which will go to
auctioneer Leo A. Glodzik Jr. It
was a bigger take than at the de-
partments last auction in 2010,
when the city raised $8,500.
We got something other than
what we wouldhave got walkingit
over to the junkyard and selling it
for scrap, Trimble said. This, as
far as Im concerned, was a good
auction, a big success.
Bits and pieces of retired city in-
frastructure also went up for sale
at the auction.
Jay Gilbert of Bloomsburg
bought morethan20trafficsignals
for between $3 and $7 each. He
planned to sell them at a consign-
ment auction he hosts, where he
said they can fetch $100 each.
In my area Ill usually buy a
truckload of them, Gilbert said.
UsuallyI payalot morefor them.
Dave Grunza, owner of DJs
Landscaping in Olyphant, bought
four light-up tinsel holiday decora-
tions that once hung from city
light postsandutilitypolesfor Hal-
loween, Valentines Day, Easter
and the Fourth of July. Price: $1
each.
Im just putting them in my
yard, Grunza said. I do landscap-
ing, so Ill probably be putting
them in other peoples yards too.
Whilenearlyall of themorethan
50different items for sale soldout,
one big-ticket item remained un-
sold.
The city hoped to pocket $1,500
for a street sweeper, but no bids
were received at that level. Glod-
zik said he was negotiating with a
potential buyer, but that the
sweeper would not be sold Satur-
day.

open somewhere.
High water, low ebb
The CVS purchase of the site
and building hasnt been the only
challenge to the Gays tradition.
In September 2011, flooding
caused by Tropical Storm Lee in-
undated the hardware store,
which is next to the Susquehan-
na River. Gays had been dam-
aged by Tropical Storm Agnes in
1972, but the water was higher in
2011.
After the water receded from
Bridge Street volunteers wasted
no time removing merchandise
and flotsam from the front of
Gays True Value. The flood wa-
ters were about 10 feet high in
the store, one volunteer said dur-
ing the clean-up in 2011. Some
feared the store would not reo-
pen.
Doug Gay said a lot of mer-
chandise was lost. We cant take
another one, he said. Wherever
we end up, it will be out of the
flood plain.
But moving isnt something
Doug and Dave and the employ-
ees are looking forward to. Its
breaking our hearts, Doug said.
Theres a lot of our blood, sweat
and tears in this place.
Most of the employees have
logged decades of service at
Gays.
LynnBrooks has beenthere for
42 years in the parts department.
Howard Batron has managed
the tool and hardware depart-
ment for 32 years.
Carol Grimes has 30 years at
the checkout counter.
Lori Clark has been there 20
years.
Glenda Chapin and Carol Vo-
grin each have 13 years at the
store.
Mary Ann Bucky Morgan
has been a cashier/bookkeeper
for 40 years. She was very close
to Papa Gay and Ruth Mom-
ma Gay. Momma would come
in every Wednesday and work
with us at checkout, she said.
We all grew up together here
were family.
Gays has about 24 employees,
full and part time. Over the 100
years, Doug estimates hun-
dreds have worked for the fam-
ily. Thats a lot of paychecks anda
lot of bread on kitchen tables.
We enjoy our customers we
enjoy people, Doug said. We
knowmost everybody. We like to
think if were gone, people will
miss us. I know a lot of people
want us to continue.
The employees say they have
stayed because they love their
jobs, the family they work for and
the people they serve.
Were the base of Tunkhan-
nock, Morgan said.
Impact on many
The Gays True Value building
on Bridge Street has 15,000
square feet of space on four
floors. The top two floors are
used mainly for storage; the sec-
ond floor is for parts and service.
The first floor is filled with aisle
upon aisle of merchandise and
departments from tick remov-
ers to Christmas lights and from
sporting goods to baby dolls,
wagons and bikes.
There are stuffed heads of tro-
phy game mounted everywhere.
Two trophy deer hang in Dougs
office. A black wildebeest hangs
next to a blue wildebeest at the
entrance to the sporting goods
department, where David
Moon Miller was putting to-
gether a crossbow for display.
They have every conceivable
bolt, nut and screwused today or
in the past, Kraynack said.
Need a body mount cushion for
your 1948 Studebaker? Go see
Brooks upstairs in the small en-
gine repair department, and you
and he can hunt around for a
piece of the roll of flat machinery
belt that they havent sold a
length of in 40 years.
And what would that cost?
Doug would say, Does a dol-
lar seem OK? Just tell Sharon at
the register, Kraynack said.
The selection and service keep
people and dogs pets are wel-
come -- coming to the store.
Bobbie Lee Morris has lived in
Tunkhannock since 1972 and has
shopped at Gays almost every
day. She came in Thursday to
buy six gallons of paint she left
with a bowl and a platter for
Thanksgiving dinner and some
Halloween and Christmas deco-
rations. She carried no paint.
Ill get that next time, she
said.
Dominick Talerico and Leo
Hart have an apartment mainte-
nance company. Sometimes I
feel like I work here, Im here so
often, Talerico said. He said if
Gays doesnt have what he
needs, which is rare, the store
will get it.
I once bought a glass top for
an old style coffee percolator
here, he said.
On Thursday Hitomi Com-
stock was shopping with her son,
Corey, who grabbed an interest-
ing looking gadget off a display
rack. It was a clothesline spread-
er. Comstock didnt buy it yet.
She said she will come back
when she decides where to hang
a clothesline.
Her husband, also named Co-
rey, grewup in Tunkhannock; Hi-
tomi is from Japan and she loves
Gays.
This is my favorite place in
America, she said. This is
something that is real.
Her husband bought his first
hunting license at Gays when he
was 12 hes now 37.
They sell taps for maple trees
here, he said. Where else
would you even look for that?
Vermont?
Rick Cord, a steady customer,
said people bring broken things
into Gays, where the staff will
make repairs.
If Gays doesnt reopen some-
where, he said, it will leave a
huge void in this community.
Hitomi Comstock carries her son, Corey, in her arms while perusing the small kitchen appliances at Gays True Value Hardware in
Tunkhannock. Comstocks husband, also named Corey, grew up in Tunkhannock; Hitomi is from Japan and she loves Gays. PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER

And eventually he founded
the store that became a part of
the Tunkhannock community.
Doug Gay said the Gay fam-
ily philosophy is based on help-
ing people and the community.
Weve always felt giving
back to the community is an
important part of our busi-
ness, Doug said.
Charlie Kraynack, a long-
time customer, said that when
he entered Gays True Value
Hardware Store with his wife,
George Papa Gay, Dougs fa-
ther, would greet them with,
Hello, Charlie. I see you
brought along your beautiful
daughter today. Kraynack
said the people at Gays are a
lot more sincere than the gree-
ters at the big box stores.
He said the last time he saw
Papa Gay was at the annual free
screening of Its a Wonderful
Life at the Dietrich Theater
less than a year before his pass-
ing in 2004. The movie ends
with the entire family singing
Old Lang Syne.
George, who was sitting di-
rectly behind me, broke into
song and led us all in a sing-
along to that refrain, Kray-
nack said.
An old basketball and base-
ball buddy of Dougs nowliving
in Hudson, N.Y., wrote a letter
to Doug thanking him for his
help on his recent visit to Tunk-
hannock.
David Thaddeus Dobrosiel-
skis car broke down and Doug
loaned him his truck. Doug al-
so tuned up his lawn mower
and brought it back to him. He
also helped him get his car
fixed.
It was a big deal to Dobrosiel-
ski, but Doug just shrugged his
shoulders and said, We do that
sort of stuff here all the time.
Carol Vogrin has been a
bookkeeper at Gays for 13
years. Her father-in-law
worked at Gays, as did her fa-
ther and uncle.
Marble Gay used to drive her
father-in-law, Al Vogrin, to
baseball games. He used to
practice pitching with him in
the back of the property, Vo-
grin recalled.
And then Marble Gay per-
formed another act of kindness
for Al Vogrin. Marble showed
up at my father-in-laws house
one day with a cow, Carol Vo-
grin said. He told him that
with three little kids he needed
a cow.

Who Passed Away One Year Today
Oct. 7, 2011
Since that very sad day,
Its been one year
Since you went away,
God saw you were tired
From your long and hard ght,
And he whispered in our sweet ear
Henry, come toward the light.
So He closed your eyes
And took you by the hand,
With His shoulder to lean on
You went to a better land.
When we saw you were sleeping
We knew you were free from pain.
It would not be fair
To wish you back again.
But Henry, our hearts are broken
Because we miss you so.
It really is hard
To let you go.
Gone, but not forgotten
Love always and forever

distressed: Edwardsville and
West Wyoming boroughs and the
townships of Bear Creek, Butler,
Hazle, Hunlock, Newport, Sugar-
loaf and Union. In addition, Rice
Township improved its status
from being moderately to mini-
mally distressed.
West Wyoming had the biggest
turnaround. In 2010, the plan had
a deficit of $265,049. That was
turned into a $29,479 surplus in
2012 a more than $235,000
change to the good. That
bumped the plans funding ratio
from 73 to 104.
The news wasnt good every-
where, however.
Hazleton citys pension plan is
inthe worst condition of all coun-
ty municipalities. It fell from be-
ingmoderatelydistressedin2010
to severely distressed in 2012
theonlymunicipalityinthecoun-
ty to receive the lowest rating.
Four other towns sawtheir sta-
tuses decline: West Pittston, Nan-
ticoke and Hughestown were not
distressed in 2010, but are in
2012. Ross Township fell from a
minimally distressed to moder-
ately distressed.
The Hughestown pension plan
saw the most significant drop in
funding ratio of all plans in the
county, decreasing from 102 to
84.
Many variables at work
Why did some plans perform
so much better than others?
Its difficult to pinpoint exact
reasons, as many variables deter-
mine a plans health. Data from
PERC indicates that many of the
plans that improved saw an in-
crease in assets that was fueled,
in part, by an upswing in invest-
ment returns.
All but eight of the 55 commu-
nities saw their assets increase.
Hazle Townshipreportedthe big-
gest percentage increase in as-
sets, from$123,023 to $217,344
a 76.6 percent increase. Rice
Township had the second largest
percentage increase, from
$428,988 to $680,737, or 58.6
percent.
Other communities benefited
from a decrease in liabilities.
Twelve of the 55 communities
saw liabilities drop. Lake Town-
ship reported the biggest per-
centage change, dropping from
$422,391 to $203,161, a 52 per-
cent decrease. It was followed by
Harveys Lake, which reduced lia-
bilities by 25.5 percent; West
Wyoming, 24.7 percent and Free-
land, 16.5 percent. For some mu-
nicipalities the increase in assets
was wiped out by higher liabili-
ties. That was true for four of the
five municipalities that dropped
into a distressed status in 2012.
Hazleton, for instance, saw its
assets increase by $1.5 million,
but the gain was dwarfed by lia-
bilities that surged by $5.9 mil-
lion. That caused the plans def-
icit to swell from$23.9 million to
$28.4 million.
Wilkes-Barre citys pension
plan, which is minimally dis-
tressed, also fared poorly, though
not enough to change its distress
level status.
Wilkes-Barre was one of the
eight communities that saw as-
sets decrease, from $84.1 million
to $83.7 million. In addition, lia-
bilities rose from $108 million to
$115.4 million. That caused the
deficit to increase from$23.9 mil-
lion to $31.7 million, a 33 percent
jump, dropping its funding ratio
from 78 to 73.
Although the decrease did not
change the plans distressed sta-
tus, its still a cause for concern,
said Bernard Kozlowski, deputy
director of programs for PERC.
If you keep dropping year to
year, is your plan for administra-
tion appropriate and correct?
Kozlowski said. Its five points
right now, if two years from now
you drop another five, youre
headed in the wrong direction.
Factors change numbers
Municipal officials offereda va-
riety of explanations why their
pension plans fared better or
worse over the two-year period.
In West Wyoming, council
President Eileen Cipriani said
the positive turnaround was tied
primarily to the overall increased
financial health of the borough.
In the past several years, the
boroughwas plaguedby financial
problems that left it unable topay
its required allotment into the
pension.
We owed the pension close to
$150,000, Cipriani said.
The borough entered the early
intervention program with the
Pennsylvania Economy League,
which allowed it to regain a
sound financial footing. That al-
lowed it to catch up on the back
money it owed to the plan, she
said.
We hadsomany issues admin-
istratively with the pension plan.
They helped us straighten it out
and make correct decisions, she
said.
Officials in communities that
saw their distress level rise cited
various issues, including poor in-
vestment choices, generous ben-
efit packages and an imbalance
between the number of people
paying in versus receiving bene-
fits.
In Wilkes-Barre, which has five
separate pension plans, city ad-
ministrator Marie McCormick
said one of the major issues is
that insome plans, the number of
retirees receiving benefits signif-
icantly outweighs the number of
current employees paying into it.
We have one pensionwith382
people collecting and 280 active
employees paying into it,
McCormick said. Trying to fund
the pension for all people is very
difficult.
McCormick said investment
returns plans were also lower
than had been anticipated. Part
of that problem was the pension
boards meeting quarterly, which
meant they sometimes missed
out on opportunities to alter in-
vestment strategies.
Its timing. Sometimes we did
not pick up on fluctuation in the
markets, she said. What we did
to improve that is we went to a
financial manager and have an
agreement for them to make
changes as we go along so we
arent missing the ups and downs
in the market.
The problems in Hazleton are
more complex.
Mary Ellen Lieb, city adminis-
trator, said Hazletons problems
stem largely from a generous
early-retirement benefit package
that was offered to employees in
the late 1990s that provided life-
time health benefits to the em-
ployee and their families.
Hazleton also pays the benefit
costs from the pension plan,
which has a major impact on lia-
bilities. Other municipalities pay
those costs fromthe general fund
budget.
Hazleton has taken several
steps to address the funding
woes, including gaining court ap-
proval to dedicate 0.4 percent of
earned income taxes to the pen-
sion plan, according to a correc-
tive action plan submitted to
PERC. Its also negotiating with
employees to increase their con-
tributions.
Hughestown was hurt by a sig-
nificant increase in liabilities,
which rose by $43,056, or 20 per-
cent, between 2010 and 2012. As-
sets, meanwhile, increased by
just $750, or 0.3 percent. That
caused the plans $3,451 surplus
to turn into a $38,855 deficit in
2012.
The borough has been cited by
the state Auditor Generals Office
for paying an unauthorized pen-
sion benefit to the widow of its
former police chief, George De-
Lucia. Its not clear howmuchim-
pact that had on the pension
plans health. That issue is ex-
pected to be addressed in the
2012 actuarial report, which has
not yet been released.
Wayne Quick, council presi-
dent, said he believes the pri-
mary issue was poor investment
performance. He said council is
currently shopping around for
a new investment adviser to try
to improve performance
We were only getting a mini-
mum amount of interest, Quick
said. We are looking into shop-
ping around to get better rates.
InNanticoke, Donna Wall, ben-
efits and financial coordinator,
said city officials anticipated the
plans fundingratiowoulddropin
2012 because it chose to spread
large investment losses that oc-
curredin2008over a five-year pe-
riod.
Even though the plan dropped
intodistressedstatus, Wall saidit
is very stable.
Were not overfunded, but
overall our plans are in very good
shape, she said.
Ross Township secretary Terry
Davis said the township was hurt
by poor performance of invest-
ments, which were in a fixed-rate
fund at the time they were as-
sessed by PERC. It has since
changed financial managers in an
attempt to get better returns.
Savino Bonita, borough man-
ager for West Pittston, said the
small decrease in assets was pri-
marily the product of technical
accounting change utilized by
the plans actuary.
Bonita said he believes the
plan is in good shape considering
the economy, noting its funding
ratio is just under the threshold
to be declared distressed.
Aiming too high a worry
The fact a pension plan is dis-
tressed does not mean it cant
meet its obligations, but its anin-
dicator of issues that need to be
addressed to ensure it remains
viable, Kozlowski said.
Municipalities are required to
deposit their minimal obligation
to the plans, which comes from
the general fund budget, by Dec.
31 each year. The amount that
must be paid is determined by
each municipality in conjunction
with the actuary that evaluates
the plans.
State law requires municipal-
ities to meet the minimum obli-
gation. If a municipality fails to
make the deposit, it will be noted
as a finding in the audit of the
plan the state auditor general.
The retirement commission
beganrating plans in2010 to help
municipalities identify issues
sooner so that corrective action
could be taken before the prob-
lems worsen, Kozlowski said.
We are making them take a
look at their pension plans. Our
mainconcernis they dont ignore
these things, he said.
One issue that remains a con-
cern is the investment rate of re-
turn municipalities are predict-
ing.
Kozlowski said its important
those returns be realistic. Its
tempting to predict a higher rate
of return because that will lessen
the amount of money the munici-
palityhas tocontributeeachyear,
but that will catchupsome point.
Nobody wants to put extra
money in. The way to not put in
money is to make the (invest-
ment return) assumptions high,
Kozlowski said. (But) if you
dont make it, that means youll
be putting in more money in the
long run.

A pension funding ratio is the percent of a funds liabilities covered by its assets. The
state mandates some actions and recommends others be done voluntarily depending on
the level of distress a funding ratio shows.
PENSIONS
Nobody wants to put extra money in. The way to
not put in money is to make the (investment re-
turn) assumptions high. (But) if you dont make it,
that means youll be putting in more money in the
long run.
Bernard Kozlowski
Deputy director of programs for PERC
$8.3 billion, according to PERC.
Economists are skeptical that
investment returns will contin-
ue to be strong enough to cover
increased liabilities.
This is entirely built on asset
appreciation, Cross said. Re-
member the other side of the
coinis that liabilities will contin-
ue to grow. Theres still a basic
imbalance between the money
coming in and the money thats
required to fund the plans.
Rick Dreyfuss, a business con-
sultant and actuary who has
worked closely with the Econo-
my League, said most munici-
palities work off an assumption
that the pension plans will
achieve an 8 percent investment
return.
I have very serious concerns
about the ability to achieve
those types of returns, Drey-
fuss said. I still think the as-
sumptions are too rosy For
long-term viability theyve got
to take a sobering look at the in-
vestment expectations. Id like
to see themcloser to 6 percent.
Dreyfuss has joined with the
Economy League and state Au-
ditor General Jack Wagner in
urging the state legislature to
enact pension reforms.
In a report issued in Septem-
ber, Wagner said one of the key
issues with Pennsylvania is the
number of individual pension
plans. The state has 3,200 pen-
sionplans, of which2,600are au-
dited by his office. Thats seven
times more than any other state.
About two-thirds of 2,600
plans the office audits have few-
er than10 members. Hes calling
for legislation that would con-
solidate municipal pension
plans into a statewide system.
Consolidation would result in
higher investment returns be-
cause the fund would have more
money to invest and would also
reduce administrative expenses,
Wagner said. That would reduce
the amount of money taxpayers
must pay into the funds.
The Economy League says
even more needs to be done.
Among the most controversial
suggestions is altering the types
of plans municipalities can offer
and modifying benefits paid to
retirees.
In testimony before PERC in
September, c, suggested freez-
ing benefits for existing retirees
and increasing the vesting peri-
od, retirement age and length of
service requirements for public
employees.
The Economy League is also
pushing for legislation that
would enable municipalities to
shift away from defined benefit
plans and into defined contribu-
tion plans.
Most of the municipal pension
plans in Pennsylvania are de-
fined benefit plans, which pay
retirees a set percentage of their
pre-retirement salary for life.
Municipalities must fund those
plans, regardless of their invest-
ment performance, to ensure
they can meet obligations.
The plans differ from defined
contributions plans, which are
similar to a 401(k) plans in the
private sector. In those plans,
the payment to retirees is con-
tingent on investment perform-
ance.
Such changes cant be made
automatically, however. They
must be negotiated with unions
as part of the collective bargain-
ing process.
Drefyuss said he understands
thats a challenge, but munici-
palities must make the effort.
The current system we have,
in the long term, is unsustaina-
ble, he said. We have to have
pension reform on the table.
DANGER
The current system we have, in the long term, is
unsustainable. We have to have pension reform on
the table.

and you will forget about everything.
So get a ride to this library, find a good
book, and hold on tight.
What kind of events have you par-
ticipated in since being crowned? I
was in the Memorial Day Parade and I
got to ride in a car with the librarian. I
also worked with my elementary
school and Junior Friends of the Li-
brary and the Book Club there to co-
sponsor various events at the library.
One of the interesting things you
are working on helps to benefit the li-
brary. Can you tell us a bit about the
HighFivetheLibrary?Well, I amin
avideothat my parents postedonYou-
tube called, High Five at the Wyoming
Free Library with Grace Washney. We
are hoping that it can go viral and will
help bring more people to the library
and events here so we can raise funds
to support it. High Five the Library is
where anyone can come to the library
and pick a paint color of their choice
and make a handprint or two on a can-
vas which will be seen for years to
come. Its only five dollars and really
helps the library. We actually sent the
videotothe EllenDeGeneres showand
are waiting to hear back from her. We
invited her to send us two framed
handprints. One would be for the wall
at the library and the other would be
auctioned off to benefit the library.
You mentioned that there are oth-
er events coming around the holi-
days. Will we hear Santas reindeer
come December? Santa Claus will be
here. He will be in the library on Dec. 1.
Youknowhowthere are always lines at
the mall to see him? Well, for a mini-
mum donation of five dollars you can
arrange to have an appointment with
himand spend time with him. You also
get your picture taken with Santa.
When you growup even more, what
would you like to do? I would like to
gotocollegeinStroudsburg. I lovethat
area. I would then like to be a teacher
of the third- or fourth-grade and try to
followin the past footsteps of teachers
that helpedmeinthepathof learning.

MEET GRACE ELIZABETH WASHNEY
P
HILADELPHIA Clarissa Dillon
used to mortify her teenage son by
wearingher workclothesacoloni-
al-style getup while driving him
somewhere.
Hed say, Oh for Gods sake, Mom, you
look like a baby in that bonnet! she recalls.
But Dillonwas and, at 79, remains un-
moved. Thats because for this ardent devotee
of 18th-century domestic arts in Southeast-
ern Pennsylvania, everything about ordinary
life at that time, in this place, is worth explor-
ing.
If that means wearing funny clothes and
sporting what looks remarkably like a baby
bonnet at thewheel of her car, toobad. Andby
theway, itsnot abonnet. Itsacap, andondays
when shes doing a program on medicinal
plants or cheese-making, shell be wearing it
and other authentic stuff everywhere she
goes.
I onlyget dressedonceaday,sheexplains.
Last week, for example, Dillon dressed as a
successful, middling sort of Chester County
farm wife for a midmorning meeting at the
1696 Thomas Massey House in Broomall,
where she tends the kitchen garden and does
her programs.
By the time she arrived, shed already been to
BrynMawr Trust to do some banking. Later, she
planned to clip the ivy thats trying to eat the
sidewalk in front of her house in Haverford.
That means what the bank tellers saw that
morning, and what her neighbors would see in
theafternoon, was thesamecentury-bustingout-
fit she wore to the Massey House. And why not?
Its comfortable.
But dont call it a costume.
Wonder Woman wears a costume, Dillon
sniffs.
Shewearsperiodclothing, madeof linenand
hand-sewn by herself. It consists of another of
those teenage angst-inducing white caps, a well-
worn apron I carry wood and plants in this
two ankle-length petticoats, and a short
gown worn over and pinned to a shift.
Ontop, underneaththe other layers, shes held
together by work stays that unlike their
criminally tight cousin, the corset provided
welcome back support.
And no, shes not uncomfortable. Im not as
hot as people wearing polyester underwear, she
says.
Dillon is a historian, a retired elementary
school teacher (31years)andanauthor. Shehasa
political science degree from Bryn Mawr Col-
lege, and a masters and a doctorate in American
history fromthe University of Chicago and Bryn
Mawr, respectively.
Her dissertation was about, what else, 18th-
century kitchen gardens in southeastern Penn-
sylvania, an interest sparked when she arrived at
Bryn Mawr fromher hometown of Chicago.
There was Valley Forge. There was Brandy-
wine. There was this sort of thing everywhere,
says Dillon, who is drawn to colonial history for
other reasons, too.
She loves the smell of woodsmoke. She enjoys
blacksmithing, sewing, and cooking, following
cluesandlookingthingsup. Itslikebeingateach-
er, very addictive, she says.
Dillonfits right inat the Massey House, one of
the oldest English Quaker homes in Pennsylva-
nia and in the garden, where she tills the soil
withgrubbing hoe andwoodenshovel andtends
an unruly collection of plants with culinary, me-
dicinal, and household uses.
They include Rosa gallica and rue, black cur-
rants and root vegetables like Gilfeather turnips,
skirret, vipers grass, and lemon balm, whose
leaves were made into tea that Dillon says was
good for tired brains.

It was hard living back then,

you that they had to do this, they

DETROIT Justin Verlander
allowed a home run to the first
batter of the game and quick-
ly shrugged it off.
This hard-throwing ace
doesnt usually hit his stride un-
til a bit later.
Verlander
shut down Oak-
land after that
early slip, and
Alex Avila
homered in the
fifth inning to
lift the Detroit
Tigers over the
Athletics 3-1
Saturday night
in the opener of
their best-of-five
AL playoff.
Verlander al-
lowed three hits
in seven innings
and matched
his career post-
season high with 11 strikeouts.
As usual, he seemed stronger in
the later innings, striking out
the side in the sixth and the first
two hitters of the seventh. That
made up for Coco Crisps home
run that quieted the Comerica
Park crowd just one batter into
the game.
I was a little out of synch but
was able to get some outs with
guys on base and keep the score
at one run, Verlander said. The
adrenaline got me a little bit
early.
Joaquin Benoit pitched the
eighth and Jose Valverde struck
out two in a perfect ninth for the
save.

STATE COLLEGE -- Matt
McGloin called it a dive. Afewof
his teammates werent so kind in
their description.
A hop. A jump. A fall on his
face.
Terrible, cornerback Ste-
phon Morris said. A two (out of
10).
All that mat-
tered was what
the officials
called it. A
touchdown.
The senior
quarterback
scrambled to his
right and went
airborne into
the end zone for
the winning
score, complet-
ing yet another
second-half dis-
mantling of
Northwestern.
Onanother re-
cord-setting Sat-
urday, McGloin
helped rally the
Nittany Lions from 11 down in
the fourth quarter, storming past
the No. 24 Wildcats 39-28 at Bea-
ver Stadium.
McGloin broke the all-time
school record for completions in
a game with 35. He threwfor 282
yards and figured on three sec-
ond-half touchdowns to stun the
Wildcats in the fourth quarter.
The third and final score came
on a broken play, a 5-yard touch-
down run -- his fifth of the season
-- onthirddownwithjust 2:37 left
to play.
I dont understand, a smirk-
ingMcGloinsaidwhentoldof his
teammates critiques, how a
touchdown becomes bad now.
Thats what I told em! It doesnt
matter what it looks like. It still
counts.
Did it ever.
Still trailing28-25 andthe kick-
ing game as shaky as ever,
McGloin lined up in the shotgun
with four receivers on third-and-
goal from the 5.
PENN STATE FOOTBAL L
Matts done a really nice job of coming in at halftime and
staying relaxed and calm. He understands its a
60-minute game. ... I cant say enough about Matt
McGloin. Hes got the job done.

The Northwest senior has his sights on the
U.S. Olympic mens field hockey team, even
while honing his skills with his high school
girls team.
This is just for working, trying to get bet-
ter, Carr said recently after helping WVCDi-
vision II-leading Northwest to its eighth
straight victory. (Im) tryingtomake it tona-
tionals, maybe the Olympics, if possible.
Hes onthe right track.
Carrsalreadycompetedonthemensjunior
national indoor and outdoor teams; received
his certification to be a U.S. field hockey
coach; and teamed with former Wyoming
Seminary standout Ja Ja Kentwell on a mens
summer teaminCalifornia.
All because, his Northwest teammates say,

It was kind of a joke at first. It was a dare,
Northwest senior captainKirstenWalshsaid.
We were all kind of shocked when he came
out.
Its no surprise by nowthat Carr is having a

goals and 20 assists in his last season and

Series was a lifetime ago for
many Orioles fans and a rather
meaningless event in the devel-
opment of Machado, now 20 and
a key player in Baltimores im-
probable, magnificent 2012 sea-
son.
Sixteen years after the Yankees
ousted the Orioles from the play-
offs and advanced to the World
Series, the teams resume their ri-
valry tonight in Game1of the AL
Division Series. It will be Balti-
mores first home postseason
game since 1997.
The Orioles spent much of the
season chasing New York in the
AL East, and now they have an
opportunity to get the better of
the Yankees in a far more signif-
icant scenario. After New York
swept a three-game set in Balti-
more in April, the Orioles re-
bounded to forge a split of the18-
game season series.
Weve played those guys a lot
this year. We know what theyve
got, they know what weve got,
Orioles first baseman Mark Rey-
nolds said. Itll come down to a
big pitch or a big at-bat.
Or, the outcome could be influ-
enced by a fan in pursuit of a sou-
venir. In the eighth inning of
Game 1 of the 1996 ALCS, Maier
stuck his glove over the right-
field wall and appeared to rob To-
ny Tarasco of the chance to catch
a deep fly hit by Derek Jeter. Um-
pire Rich Garcia called it a home
run, andthe Yankees woninextra
innings en route to capturing the
series 4-1.
Jeter and Yankees left-hander
Andy Pettitte, who won the deci-
sive fifth game of that series and
is expected to start in Game 2 on
Monday night, have been to
many playoff series since. In this
one, they enter as part of a team
that went 14-4 down the stretch
tofinishwiththeALs best record.
And yet, the Yankees open the
series on the road.
Thats the topic of discussion
right nowbut, you know, this is a
one year thing and were going to
have to win some games on the
road most likely anyway if we
make it to the promised land,
Yankees first basemanMarkTeix-
eira said. Were not going to
complain about starting the first
two on the road.
And the Orioles? Well, theyre
delighted to be playing in front of
their home fans, but really,
theyre just happy tobe playingat
this time of year period.
After their abrupt exit fromthe
postseason in 1996, the Orioles
returned in 1997. Fourteen
straight losing seasons followed
before they put together an un-
imaginable 93-69 record this year
under former Yankees manager
Buck Showalter. For an encore,
Baltimore beat the Texas Rang-
ers and their best pitcher Yu Dar-
vish 5-1 on Friday night in the
one-game, win-or-go-home wild-
card round.

Orioles, Yankees
rekindle playoff
memories of 96
By DAVID GINSBURG
AP Sports Writer
There was
something a bit
artificial about
it to begin with,
and not just
because the
worst teamin
the National
League playoffs became the first
beneficiary of the expanded wild
card.
The St. Louis Cardinals cer-
tainly celebrated as if it was real,
even if they had to wait until
they were off the field to go wild
about their wild-card win. No
sense antagonizing the fans in
Atlanta any more, in case they
still had a fewmore beer bottles
in reserve.
Baseball is not supposed to be
decided in one game. Never was,
no matter howmuch extra mon-
ey it brings Bud Selig and his
owners.
That a 94-win season can end
because of a fewill-timed errors
is hard enough to digest for
Atlanta fans who kept the faith
through a long season. That a
call an umpire had no business
making thwarted a possible
comeback will make the offsea-
son seemeven longer.
Actually, left field umpire Sam
Holbrook may have done every-
body but Braves fans a favor by
raising his armand calling an
infield fly in the eighth inning
Friday. His call highlighted the
absurdity of a sudden-death
playoff systemthrown together
quickly and without a great deal
of careful thought.
The idea was sound, much like
the original plan to add a wild-
card teamback in1994. More
teams in contention in August
and September means more fans
in the stands, which means more
money to the owners.
The original wild card
instituted when baseball went to
three divisions fromtwo has
worked well, even if purists
grumble that the best-of-five
opening series should be best-of-
seven. It has added excitement
to baseball races, and given
teams that might never beat a
juggernaut in their division
something to play for.
The expanded wild card is
more of a gimmick that punishes
the wild-card entry with the best
record and makes the162-game
regular season even less mea-
ningful.
Theres too much emphasis
put on one game, too many
chances that something weird
like a bizarre infield fly rule call
causes an entire season to
suddenly go bad.
And let there be no mistake
about it. The infield rule call was
bizarre, beginning with the fact
it was made in the outfield.
It might not have cost the
Braves the game, but it surely
cost thema chance to get back in
the game. And while it may have
been the technically correct call
to make under the broad in-
terpretation of the rule, it was
the wrong call to make under the
rule of common sense.
The best tweak would be to
expand the wild-card elimination
to a best-of-three series, and play
all games on the home field of
the teamwith the best record.
That would provide an incentive
for having the best regular-sea-
son record of the two wild-card
teams and eliminate a travel day
that would push the postseason
further into November.
That doesnt guarantee the
best teamwill win, but playing a
minimumof two games takes
some of the randomness out of
it. Teams will play looser, manag-
ers will be able to set up their
pitching staffs better, and um-
pires will have a fewmore games
to get used to making calls down
the outfield lines.
More importantly, fans wont
have to live with the idea of an
entire season being wiped out by
a fluke play or a bad call.
One-game playoff
should be ruled out

ST. LOUIS Adam Wainw-
right was a spectator last fall,
cheering on the St. Louis Cardi-
nals from the bench as they rose
from wild card to World Series
champions.
Its a lot more fun being part of
the action.
Looking back on it, it really
hits me when autograph seekers
hand me a ball and its a 2011
World Series ball, and then they
take it back and say No, No, sign
this one instead, Wainwright
said Saturday. Thats when it
hits that I really didnt get to do a
whole lot. This game I get to play
is very special to me, and missing
that time last year, I really
learned how much I love the
game.
Fans in Washington, D.C., an-
ticipating the first baseball post-
season appearance for the na-
tions capital since 1933, has to
feel that way, too.
Wainwright, a 14-game winner
in his first year back from elbow
reconstruction surgery, success-
fully fought against restricting
his innings andstarts today inthe
NL division series opener. The
Nationals, who led the league
with 97 wins, will go with 21-
game winner Gio Gonzalez after
sitting down Stephen Strasburg
in early September with 159 1-3
innings pitched.
Theres so many things that
factor into this that you take it
with a smile, Gonzalez said. Its
the first time ever experiencing
this, to represent such a great or-
ganization, such a great rotation,
great lineup. Its unbelievable.
The Nationals have one of the
youngest rosters in the majors
and won 98 games as they over-
came injuries to Jayson Werth,
Ryan Zimmerman, Michael
Morse and Ian Desmond. Davey
Johnson is a seasoned hand,
though, joining Billy Martin as
the lone managers to win divi-
sion titles with four franchises.
During spring training, Cardi-
nals general manager JohnMoze-
liak said there would be serious
consideration to ending Wainw-
rights season after perhaps 180
innings. About a month into the
season, the former 20-game win-
ner convinced the team such re-
strictions would be unnecessary,
and he finished second on the
Cardinals with 198 2-3 innings.
During the first half of the sea-
son, Wainwright was unhappy
with his fastball, slider and
changeup and pleased with just
his curveball.
I totally get now why Tommy
Johnrecovery is sohard, Wainw-
right said. Your arm just takes a
while to get back, it really does,
and its hard for me to say that be-
cause I thought I was going to be
the exception to the rule.
Strasburg, who had elbow sur-
gery in September 2010, was un-
successful in persuading the Na-
tionals to allow him to finish out
the season, the first for the fran-
chise to reach the playoffs since
the 1981 Montreal Expos.
Very little time has passed
sincetheNationals andCardinals
met inSt. Louis onthe final week-
end of the regular season, with
Washington on the verge of
clinching the leagues best record
and St. Louis closing in on the fi-
nal playoff spot.
St. Louis reached the division
series by winning the wild-card
playoff 6-3 in Atlanta on Friday, a
game marredbyaninfieldflyrule
call thatll live on forever in the
minds of disgruntledBraves fans,
but with botched umpiring that
affected both sides.
Ive never seen anything like
it, Carlos Beltran said. Its part
of baseball. Were happy.
Wainwright set to oppose Gonzalez in opener
By R.B. FALLSTROM
AP Sports Writer
lowed two earned runs in 6 1-3 innings
and took the loss.
Game 2 in Sunday, with Doug Fister
taking the mound for Detroit and left-
hander Tommy Milone for Oakland.
It was only the second victory for De-
troit in its last seven series openers. The
Tigers lost Game 1 to the Yankees in the
division series last year before winning
in five. Detroit then lost the opener of
the AL championship series to Texas.
After winning their final six games to
take the AL West in shocking fashion,
the As made their presence felt right
away in Detroit.
The home crowd greeted Verlander
with a roar and a sea of twirling white
towels when he popped out of the du-
gout and headed to the mound to start
the game, but Crisp was unfazed. He
pulled Verlanders two-strike fastball
just inside the pole in right field to put
Oakland on top.
The AL Central-champion Tigers tied
it immediately. Austin Jacksons hard-
hit ball deflected off diving shortstop
Stephen Drew and into short left field.
The Detroit leadoff man ended up with
a double and went to third when Quin-
tin Berry slapped a single to third off
Donaldson, who also could only get a
piece of the ball while diving for it.
Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera,
who went hitless, grounded into a dou-
ble play, but Jackson came home to
make it 1-all.
Drewfinally made a diving play in the
second, sprawling to his right on Del-
mon Youngs grounder and then throw-
ing to first for the out. At the plate, the
As made Verlander work, forcing himto
throw 61 pitches in the first three in-
nings. The Detroit ace struck out Bran-
don Moss to end the Oakland third with
a 99 mph fastball but Verlander was
having to reach back for extra speed
early.
The Athletics tied a postseason re-
cord by starting four rookies Parker,
Josh Donaldson, Yoenis Cespedes and
Derek Norris.
Parker looked sharp early but allowed
another run in the third because of a
fielding mishap. With two out and a man
on second, Berry chopped a soft groun-
der to the right side. Parker came off the
mound to field it, but with the speedy
Berry hustling to first, Parker lost con-
trol of the ball with his glove hand for an
error that allowed Omar Infante to
score.

CLEVELAND (AP) Terry
Francona has been fired as man-
ager of the Cleveland Indians.
Francona, who won two
WorldSeries titles withthe Bos-
ton Red Sox, accepted the Indi-
ans offer on Saturday and will
take over a team that collapsed
in the second half this season af-
ter a promising first four
months.
The 53-year-old will be intro-
duced as Clevelands 42nd man-
ager during a Monday news
conference at Progressive Field,
the Indians said in a statement
Saturday.
Cleveland chose Francona
over Sandy Alomar Jr., who
served as the clubs interim
manager for the final six games
after Manny Acta was fired on
Sept. 27. Francona and Alomar
were the only candidates to in-
terview for the Indians open-
ing.
Francona has worked as an
analyst for ESPN this season.
His father, Tito, played for the
Indians from1959-64.

WILKES-BARRETWP. With
one booming shot from the blue-
line, Alex Grant firmly establish-
ed himself as a serious contender
for ice time among the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins deep
defensive corps.
During Saturdays 3-2 loss to
the Hershey Bears, there were a
fewbright spots for thePenguins.
Most notably the power play,
which connected twice in the
first period.
And just like last season, Grant
was a main contributor.
With the Penguins on the sec-
ond power play of the night,
Grant gained the puck at the
point and skated along the blue-
line looking for a shooting lane.
Everything leading toward the
net was blocked, but Grant spot-
ted the stick of rookie Jayson
Megna off to the side and blasted
a slapshot right on his tape.
Megna deflected the shot past
Hershey goaltender Braden Holt
by for the goal, but it was Grants
patience along the blueline that
made it happen.
Guys were in the shooting
lane so I hadto shoot to the side,
hesaid. I couldnt hit thenet, but
Jayson did a great job putting his
stick out there for me.
The goal was important to
Grant, who needs to impress in
an area that has become the key
to his game. Of the 37 points
Grant scored last season, 27 of
them came on the power play.
He kind of set the bar for him-
self last year as far as his ability to
be a factor on the power play,
head coach John Hynes said. It
was nice to see him be able to do
that again tonight.
With 11 defensemen in camp
vying for the top-six spots on the
blueline, Grant knows he cant re-
ly on last seasons success to get
him ice time. Instead, he has to
continue to build on it, and that
means producing on the power
play.
With all the competition on de-
fense, Grant knows he must re-
establish himself once again.
There is some pressure there
and I definitely have to prove my-
self, he said. Its the same situa-
tion I was in at the start of last
year when there were no injuries
and I felt the pressure and nerves
when I did get out there.
Now, I have to prove myself
again and showI do belong in the
lineup every single night.
Notes
Rookie defensemanJoe Mor-
rowopened the scoring on Satur-
day with a blistering one-timer
from the right faceoff circle for a
power play goal. The shot im-
pressed Hynes. Its a shot, he
said. He got it off tonight more
thanhe has inthe other game. He
likes to use it and its a weapon.
Megna now has two goals in
two preseason games and has
been impressive with his offen-
sive awareness on the ice. He
has an idea of where to be, his an-
ticipation is good and he knows
what hes going to do before he
gets the puck, Hynes said. Meg-
na thrived on the power play in
college last season, as 10 of his 31
points came with the man advan-
tage.
The Penguins were 2-for-6on
the power play andwere a perfect
7-for-7 in the penalty kill depart-
ment. Despite losing the game,
Hynes said the special teams
work was beneficial to his team.
The intensity level also pickedup
as there were two fights in the
contest with Benn Ferriero and
Philip Samuelsson dropping the
gloves for the Penguins for the
teams first fights of the presea-
son. This game was great be-
cause you had different special
teams situations, a couple of
fights and you could see the regu-
lar season is starting to get clos-
er, Hynes said. It was a great
preparation game.
Defenseman Robert Bortuz-
zo, wholeft Fridays game against
Rochester early, is day-to-day
with a lower body injury, Hynes
said.
With the 3-2 loss, the Pen-
guins are now 1-1-0-1 in the pre-
season. They wrap up the exhibi-
tion schedule with a tilt in Her-
shey today at 5 p.m.

CHICAGO Cierre Wood
and George Atkinson III gave
Notre Dame its first 100-yard
rushing duo in a decade, and
Everett Golson came off the
bench to lead the No. 9 Irish to
a 41-3 victory over Miami on
Saturday night in what was a
very tame sequel to the famed
Catholics vs. Convicts rivalry.
Wood rushed for 118 yards
and two touchdowns, and At-
kinson added 123 yards and
another score. Golson, who sat
the first series as punishment
for violating team rules, com-
pleted his first six passes and
finished 17 of 22 as Notre Dame
improved to 5-0 for the first
time since 2002.
The loss snapped a three-
game win streak for Miami,
which was held to just 285 yards
after piling up 1,260 yards and
86 points in its previous two
games. The Hurricanes (4-2)
were hurt by at least a half-
dozen drops by their receivers.
West Virginia 48, Texas 45
AUSTIN, Texas Geno
Smith passed for four touch-
downs, leading No. 8 West Vir-
ginia to another wild shootout
win in the Big 12, this time
taking out No. 11 Texas.
Smith, who has 24 touchdown
passes this season without an
interception, hit Tavon Austin
with a 6-yard score with 10:50
left to play. Andrew Buie ran for
207 yards and two touchdowns,
the second coming giving the
Mountaineers a critical 10-point
lead late.
West Virginia (5-0, 2-0) didnt
seal the win until recovering an
onside kick with 14 seconds left
after Texas scored a touchdown
on a pass from David Ash to
Marquise Goodwin.
Joe Bergeron scored four
touchdowns, all on short runs,
for Texas (4-1, 1-1), which is 2-7
at home in conference games
the since 2010.
Wisconsin 31, Illinois 14

Stave threw for 254 yards for
the Badgers (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten),
who rushed for 173 yards 96
in the fourth quarter.
The offensive struggles of the
Illini (2-4, 0-2) continued, with
quarterback Nathan Scheel-
haase the only positive. He
finished with 178 yards passing
and 84 rushing as Illinois gained
287 yards overall.
Scheelhaase ran for a 5-yard
touchdown in the first quarter
and threw for an 8-yard touch-
down to Ryan Lankford to make
it 24-14 late in the game.

over Purdue.
The Boilermakers (3-2, 0-1
Big Ten) lost at home for only
the second time since Oct. 1,
2011.
It was a banner day for Rob-
inson in his first game back
from a dismal performance at
Notre Dame. He had three runs
of 35 or more yards, finished 8
of 15 for 105 yards, moved into
fifth place on Michigans career

yards and two touchdowns, and
Michigan State rallied from a
17-point deficit to defeat Indi-
ana.
Aaron Burbridge caught eight
passes for 134 yards and LeVeon
Bell ran for 121 yards and two
touchdowns on 37 carries for
the Spartans (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten),
who were coming off a 17-16 loss
to No. 12 Ohio State.
Cameron Coffman passed for
282 yards and three touchdowns
and Shane Wynn had 12 catches
for 70 yards for the Hoosiers
(2-3, 0-2), who led 27-17 at the
end of the third quarter. Indiana
could have given second-year
coach Kevin Wilson his first
conference win, but the Hoo-
siers went three-and-out on
critical back-to-back possessions
in the fourth quarter.
Florida 14, LSU 6
GAINESVILLE, Fla. Mike
Gillislee ran for a career-high
146 yards and two touchdowns,
bringing Florida to life in the
second half to beat LSU.
Led by Gillislee and a dom-
inant defense, Floridas grind-it-
out victory provided a signature
win for coach Will Muschamp in
his second season in Gaines-
ville. It was the programs first
win against a ranked team since
beating rival Georgia in 2010.
The Gators (5-0, 4-0 South-
eastern Conference) wore down
the Tigers (5-1, 1-1) in the sec-
ond half no surprise because
Florida has been doing that all
season. Florida, which trailed
6-0 at halftime, also came from
behind to beat Texas A&M and
Tennessee on the road last
month.
The Gators harassed quarter-
back Zach Mettenberger, who
completed 11 of 25 passes for
161 yards, with an interception.
It was Gillislees third 100-
yard game of the season.
Kansas State 56, Kansas 16
MANHATTAN, Kan. John
Hubert ran for 101 yards and
four touchdowns on just 10
carries, and Collin Klein had
two touchdowns running and
throwing as Kansas State routed
Kansas.
Klein finished with 129 yards
passing and 116 yards rushing to
help the Wildcats (5-0, 2-0 Big
12) pile up more than 50 points
for the third straight year
against their biggest rival.
Theyve won four straight
against the Jayhawks (1-4, 0-2)
since Bill Snyder returned as
coach.
The longtime Kansas State
coach probably had some choice
words for his team at halftime,
when a slew of mistakes result-
ed in a modest 21-14 lead. But
the Wildcats scored four touch-
downs in the third quarter, three
in a span of about 5 minutes, to
put the game away.
Kansas Dayne Crist threw for
189 yards and a touchdown, but
he also threw three intercep-
tions and lost a fumble. James
Sims had 115 yards rushing and
a touchdown for the Jayhawks.
Clemson 47, Georgia Tech 31
CLEMSON, S.C. Tajh Boyd
threw for a career high 397
yards and DeAndre Hopkins had
173 yards receiving to lead
Clemson over Georgia Tech.
The Tigers (5-1, 2-1 Atlantic
Coast Conference) gained 601
yards, while the Yellow Jackets
(2-4, 1-3) gained 483.
Boyd threw for two touch-
downs, including a 35-yard
touchdown to Hopkins that put
Clemson up 38-31 with 10:29 left
in the game.
Georgia Tech bobbled the
kickoff and started its next
possession at the 2 yard line.
Tigers linebacker Spencer
Shuey sniffed out an option
pitch two plays later for a safety
that crushed the Yellow Jackets
chances. It was the first time
either team led by more than a
touchdown.
Orin Smith gained 117 yards
on seven carries for Georgia
Tech.
Along with completing 26 of
41 passes, Boyd also ran for a
touchdown and caught one pass
a 2-point conversion.
Iowa St. 37, TCU 23
FORT WORTH, Texas
Jared Barnett threw three touch-
downs to Josh Lenz, who later
had a scoring toss of his own on
a trick play, as Iowa State ended
TCUs FBS-best 12-game win
streak.
It was the first Big 12 home
game for conference newcomer
TCU (4-1, 1-1), which played
without suspended quarterback
Casey Pachall.
Barnett was 12-of-21 passing
for 183 yards and ran nine times
for 30 yards in his first start this
season for the Cyclones (4-1,
1-1).
The Frogs had won a nation-
best 25 conference games in a
row, the first 24 while winning
the Mountain West champion-
ship each of the last three sea-
sons.
Lenz had TD catches of 51
and 74 yards in the first quarter.
Trevone Boykin started for
TCU and was 23-of-40 passing
for 270 yards with a touchdown
and three interceptions.
Oklahoma 41, Texas Tech 20
LUBBOCK, Texas Landry
Jones passed for two touch-
downs, Blake Bell ran for two
more and Oklahoma beat Texas
Tech to avenge a home loss to
the Red Raiders last season.
The win was crucial for Okla-
homa to remain in the conversa-
tion for the Big 12 title.
Both of Jones touchdown
passes went for 13 yards one
each to Justin Brown and Kenny
Stills. Bell, in at quarterback,
scored his touchdowns from a
yard out.
Javon Harris put the game out
of reach midway through the
third quarter when he returned
an interception 46 yards for a
TD to put the Sooners (3-1, 1-1)
up 38-13.
The Red Raiders had their
worst defensive performance
this year, giving up 380 total
yards after coming in ranked
No. 1 in the nation.
Seth Doege was 22 of 36 for
203 yards and had three in-
terceptions for Texas Tech (4-1,
1-1).
Stanford 54, Arizona 48
STANFORD, Calif. Chase
Thomas intercepted a tipped
pass by Matt Scott in overtime,
Stepfan Taylor ran for a 21-yard
score two plays later and Stan-
ford rallied from a two-touch-
down deficit to stun Arizona.
Josh Nunes threw for a career-
high 360 yards and two touch-
downs and ran for three more
scores for Stanford (4-1, 2-1
Pac-12) to offset Scotts record-
setting performance.
Scott completed 45 of 69
passes both school records
for 491 yards and three
touchdowns until Henry An-
derson tipped his final pass in
overtime that Thomas intercept-
ed. Arizona (3-3, 0-3) amassed
617 total yards but lost for the
third straight game and is still
winless in conference play.
Temple 37, South Florida 28
PHILADELPHIA Marcus
Greens blocked a late field goal
attempt and Montel Harris
scored two touchdowns to lead
Temple to a victory over South
Florida in a Big East Conference
matchup.
The game marked Temples
re-entry into the Big East since
the Owls were kicked out of the
conference in 2004.
Mississippi St. 27,
Kentucky 14
LEXINGTON, Ky. Tyler
Russell passed for two touch-
downs and Mississippi State
held Kentucky to just 228 yards
on offense in the victory.
LaDarius Perkins carried 25
times for 110 yards, including a
31-yard score, and Devon Bell
kicked field goals of 20 and 37
yards as Mississippi State
moved to 5-0 for the first time
since 1999. The Bulldogs are 2-0
in Southeastern Conference
play.
Russell was 23 of 39 for 269
yards, hitting Adrian Marcus
and Chad Bumphis for touch-
downs of 10 and 27 yards, re-
spectively.
Rutgers 19, Connecticut 3
PISCATAWAY, N.J. Jawan
Jamison ran for 110 yards and
Wayne Warren returned an
interception 25 yards for a
scores as Rutgers suffocated
UConn to remain undefeated.
The Scarlet Knights (5-0, 2-0
Big East) are off to their best
start since 2007, and they
avenged a bitter loss to the
Huskies that ended last regular
season and kept Rutgers from
sharing the conference title.
Oregon State 19,
Washington State 6
CORVALLIS, Ore. Jordan
Poyer had three interceptions,
Sean Mannion passed for 270
yards and No. 14 Oregon State
survived a shaky start with a
over Washington State.
Markus Wheaton had 95
yards receiving and a touch-
down but it was the Beavers
defense which kept the Cougars
at arms length on the day when
Mannion, who threw three in-
terceptions, was more down
than up.
South Carolina 35, Georgia 7
COLUMBIA, S.C. Connor
Shaw threw two touchdown
passes and ran for another, Ace
Sanders had a dazzling 70-yard
punt return touchdown and No.
6 South Carolinas defense dom-
inated fifth-ranked Georgia in a
victory.
The Gamecocks (6-0, 4-0
Southeastern Conference) won
their school-record 10th straight
game with a performance that
marked certainly marked them
an Eastern Division front-runner
and maybe showed theyre
capable of even more.
Those tests come soon as
South Carolina travels to once-
beaten LSU next week and then
to Florida on Oct. 20. Itd be
hard to pick against the Game-
cocks after this one. South Car-
olina grounded Gurshall,
holding Georgias stellar fresh-
men Todd Gurley and Keith
Marshall to 76 yards combined.
The Bulldogs (5-1, 3-1) finished
with 224 yards, less than half
their seasons average coming
in.

If you are thinking Carhartt, you should be thinking Keefers!
Pressure from the defensive
end flushed him out to the right.
He threw a slight pump fake be-
fore crossing the 10, found open
grass in front of him and
launched off of his right foot at
the 2, just clearing the pylon for
the score.
Well, McGloin said, failing to
get out the first word of his de-
scription without a laugh, I was
unsure of what to do there if I
had to dive or not. So I just decid-
ed to dive. But my knee brace un-
fortunately got caught in the
ground. So I just looked like a
complete fool.
But I stuck the landing.
He added a flourish, too. The
senior, who in the past was
known to compare his style to
Brett Favre -- and not always fa-
vorably -- has apparently evolved
to emulate another Packers quar-
terback.
When McGloin landed from
his, whatever it was, he proceed-
ed to make like Aaron Rodgers af-
ter a big run and flash the cham-
pionship belt around his waist.
I was thinking about doing it
for a few days now, if I got anoth-
er rushing touchdown. So before
I did it, I was kind of looking to
see where the refs were (so I
wouldnt get flagged).
I kind of did a leg kick. He just
kindof does it (normal). I do a bit
of a little leg kick after mine.
After leading the Lions to 22
fourth-quarter points, McGloin
could probably have gotten away
withmost any kindof celebration
in Happy Valley. Especially now
that the Lions (4-2, 2-0 Big Ten)
head into their off week on a four-
game winning streak, delivering
Bill OBrien his first win over a
ranked team.
It didnt look likely after North-
westerns Venric Mark ran a punt
back 75 yards for a touchdown
with just 50 seconds left in the
third quarter. Penn State trailed
28-17 and the stadiumwas silent.
The offense answered with an
18-play, 82-yard drive, with
McGloin connecting with Allen
Robinson for their second touch-
down of the half. A 2-point con-
version pulled the Lions within
28-25, and the Wildcats (5-1, 1-1)
never recovered.
Matts done a really nice job of
coming inat halftime andstaying
relaxed and calm, OBrien said.
He understands its a 60-minute
game. Hes grown up a lot.
When youre a senior and
youre playing your last few
games here at Penn State, that
means a lot to him. I cant say
enough about Matt McGloin.
Hes got the job done.
As did the Penn State defense.
Just a weekafter Northwestern
set a school recordwith704yards
of total offense, the Lions held
the Wildcats to just 247. North-
western finished with season
lows in total yards, first downs
(14) and rushing yards (112).
And the Lions beat them at
their owngame. PennState tieda
school record by running 99 of-
fensive plays to just 61 for North-
western. Typically, its the Wild-
cats playinganup-tempogameto
pack in as many snaps as possi-
ble.
They couldnt get enough on
Saturday. After McGloins go-
ahead score, the defense got a
stop on an ensuing fourth down
and Michael Zordich iced the
game with a 3-yard touchdown
run.
You guys sawwhat we did out
there today, McGloin said.
Were going to fight for 60 min-
utes. Were not going to give up
on one another. Were going to
keep doing our jobs.
Northwestern..................... 0 14 14 0 28
Penn State.......................... 3 7 7 22 39
FIRST QUARTER
PSU -- Sam Ficken 21-yard field goal, 3:41.
Drive: 13 plays, 33 yards, 5:56. Analysis: The
Nittany Lions open their second series with
excellent field position after punter Alex Butter-
worth pins Northwestern at its 1 and the defense
forces a three-and-out. But the yards dont come
easily for the offense, which is forced into a pair of
fourth-down situations because of the teams
kicking woes. McGloin completes a fourth-and-4
pass to Allen Robinson on the first and Zach
Zwinak converts a fourth-and-inches up the middle
on the second. On third-and-goal, tight end Kyle
Carter comes open in the front of the end zone, but
Matt McGloins pass clangs off of his hands,
bringing on the field goal team. Its the third
successful kick of the season in nine tries for
Ficken. PENN STATE 3, NORTHWESTERN 0.
SECOND QUARTER
PSU -- Zach Zwinak 1-yard run (Ficken kick),
9:34. Drive: 8 plays, 40 yards, 2:16. Analysis: Penn
States defensive dominance is finally paid off,
forcing a fourth straight three-and-out to open the
game, delivering the ball to the offense at the
Northwestern 40. Again it takes a fourth-down
conversion to make it happen, as Penn State
improves to 3-for-3 on the game, getting another
successful QB sneak by McGloin to keep the drive
alive. Zwinak is turning into the Lions most reliable
runner and gets his number called in the red zone
to drive the ball to the 1. From there, he launches
not-so-gracefully through the air, but he meets little
resistance before landing in the end zone for his
third score of the season. PSU 10, NU 0.
NU -- Venric Mark 2-yard run (Jeff Budzien
kick), 6:23. Drive: 3 plays, 17 yards, 1:05. Analysis:
A critical special teams error gets the Wildcats into
the game. The defense finally surrenders a first
down at the 9:19 mark of the second quarter as
Northwestern moves into Lions territory for the first
time. But a stop near midfield brings on the punt
team. Return man Jesse Della Valle, sure-handed
to start the season, signals fair catch before having
the ball bounce off his fingertips. Northwestern
scoops it up immediately at the Lions 17, and is
prevented from scoring only because of a rule that
prevents a team advancing a muffed punt. That
only delays the inevitable as Kain Colter gets his
first big gain of the day down to the Penn State 2
on an option keeper. Two plays later, its Mark
going off right tackle and into the end zone for the
score. Its the first touchdown allowed by Penn
State in the first half all season. PSU 10, NU 7.
NU -- Tony Jones 11-yard pass from Trevor
Siemian (Budzien kick), 0:30. Drive: 8 plays, 66
yards, 1:50. Analysis: Siemian delivers the games
best throw, finding Tony Jones near two defenders
deep in the end zone to give the Wildcats a
surprising halftime lead. The scoring drive was
kept alive by a controversial pass interference call
against Lions corner Stephon Morris. The senior
went up and tipped the ball away from his man, but
a flag came almost immediately afterward. A play
later, when Morris was shaken up, Lions coach Bill
OBrien comes across the field to check on him --
and also to tear into the back judge who made the
call, yelling in his face. Penn State trails at halftime
for the first time this season. NU 14, PSU 10.
THIRD QUARTER
PSU -- Allen Robinson 8-yard pass from Matt
McGloin (Ficken kick), 7:17. Drive: 12 plays, 80
yards, 5:23. Analysis: After throwing it 28 times in
the first half, Penn States offense gets back in
balance, using the run to set up the pass and take
the lead back. Zwinak picks up 37 yards on six
carries to fuel a critical scoring drive. And this time,
its Penn State benefitting from a pass interference
call, as Robinson draws the flag in the end zone.
He then uses his 6-foot-3 to shield off a defender at
the goal line for the touchdown catch, his sixth of
the season. PSU 17, NU 14.
NU -- Kain Colter 10-yard run (Budzien kick),
3:12. Drive: 11 plays, 71 yards, 4:05. Analysis:
Northwestern punches right back by getting its
ground game on track as Mark starts chewing up
yards himself. Quickly reaching the red zone,
Colter executes a perfect zone-read fake, breaking
away with the ball at the last second to scamper 10
yards off left tackle for the go-ahead score. Its the
first time Northwestern has scored in the second
half against Penn State since 2005. Its the first
time the Wildcats scored a second-half touchdown
against the Lions since 2004. NU 21, PSU 17.
NU -- Mark 75-yard punt return (Budzien kick),
0:50. Analysis: As bad as Penn States special
teams had been all season, the Lions could still
point to their coverage units as a bright spot. Not
anymore. Butterworth blasts a 54-yard punt only to
give too much room to Mark, who expertly weaves
through traffic before hitting the left sideline and
leaving the rest of the Lions in his dust. Its the first
punt return for a score allowed by Penn State since
Florida States Willie Reid took one the distance in
the Orange Bowl at the end of the 2005 season.
NU 28, PSU 17.
FOURTH QUARTER
PSU -- Robinson 6-yard pass from McGloin
(Michael Zordich run), 9:49. Drive: 18 plays, 82
yards, 6:01. Analysis: The Lions dont lay down,
slowly marching downfield against a Northwestern
defense content to not give up the big play. Once
again, it comes down to a fourth-down play as Bill
OBrien goes for it on fourth-and-4 from the
Wildcats 6-yard line. McGloin has plenty of time
before delivering a strike to Robinson in the back
of the end zone. Zordich then takes the handoff on
a draw out of the shotgun for the conversion. NU
28, PSU 25.
PSU -- McGloin 5-yard run (Ficken kick), 2:37.
Drive: 15 plays, 85 yards, 5:38. Analysis: And
McGloin burns the Wildcats again. For a third
straight season, the Scranton native buries
Northwestern after halftime. He helps the Lions
convert a fifth fourth down, scrambling right and
finding Brandon Moseby-Felder on fourth-and-2.
That sets up a third-and-goal call from the Cats 5.
Its a pass all the way, but McGloin is again flushed
from the pocket. He takes off, throws a quick pump
fake and then does an awkward hopping sort of
thing over the pylon for the winning score. It counts
for six points just the same. PSU 32, NU 28.
PSU -- Zordich 3-yard run (Ficken kick), 1:30.
Drive: 3 plays, 28 yards, 0:18. Comment: The
Lions defense polishes off a strong afternoon by
stopping the Cats deep in their own territory on
fourth down. Northwestern still has two timeouts in
its pocket, but Penn State makes sure it doesnt
matter as two big runs by Zordich complete a
stunning fourth-quarter. PSU 39, NU 28.

P E N N S T A T E F O O T B A L L
STATE COLLEGE The Penn State
offense looked on top of its game, and
the defense continually flustered North-
westerns volatile running attack.
Alas, the Nittany Lions special teams
play opened doors for the Wildcats.
Two costly Penn State errors a
botched punt return and a failed punt
coverage pushed momentum in the
other direction during a 39-28 victory
over No. 24 Northwestern.
We put (the defense) in a tough job
with the punt return and some of the
things that went on there, coach Bill
OBrien said. That wasnt on them.
Following a second quarter defensive
stop of Northwesterns first possession
with a first down, returner Jesse Della
Valle flubbed a return at the17-yard line.
Northwestern assumed possession and
scored a Venric Mark rushing touch-
down three plays later to cut Penn
States lead to three points.
He was fair catchingit, OBriensaid.
He looked up and he looked up with the
fair-catch signal and then looked down.
He didnt concentrate on the ball. Hes
doneagreat job. I havealot of respect for
Jesse and what hes done here. He made
a mistake; hed be the first person to tell
you that. Obviously, we recovered from
it but right there, it hurt us a little bit.
Della Valle reluctantly admitted the
12-mph wind gusts played a factor in the
flub.
Both teams traded leads and stayed
relatively within an ear shot of each oth-
er before another special teams miscue
broke open an11-point Wildcat lead that
Nittany Lions managed to erase.
Fielding a 54-yard Alex Butterworth
punt, Markevadedthe first wave of Penn
State players and jetted to a 75-yard re-
turn down the sideline.
Butterworth said he punted the ball
too far, allowing Mark ample room to
eye the coverage and plan his first cut to
the left.
I knew it was a good punt, Butter-
worth said. I boomed it out of our cov-
erage zone. I started trailing as soon as
he caught it. I was all infront of that kick.
I mean usually I focus on getting it to
the left so our guys have a little more
time to get down there. They have a
good returner. Its scary.
Michael Mauti, who was on the field,
skirted the blame away from Butter-
worth and toward his fellow coverage
mates.
Nosuchthingas kickingit toofar, he
countered. Our guys gotta cover bet-
ter.
Mark said he expected Penn State to
study his return habits and thus he
changed course.
You could tell they did a lot of film
study, the Northwest halfback said.
They knewwe were going to go right. I
knew that they knew we were going to
go right, so I went left. There was no one
there but a kicker and (Mauti).
Yielding a return only briefly damp-
ened the mood on the sidelines. Thank-
fully for the special teams corps, the Nit-
tany Lions recovered to rattle off 22 con-
secutive points in the fourth quarter.
Any time there has been a special
teams touchdowntheres always a big
momentum change when the other
teammakes a big play onspecial teams,
OBrien said. Theres a little bit of a
quietness on the sidelines.
For all of the special teams woes,
none revolved around kicker Sam Fick-
en. Ficken moved to 3-for-9 on the sea-
son with a 21-yard field goal to supply an
early 3-0 lead. He also, shockingly, boot-
ed a kickoff between the uprights in
what assistant coach John Butler coined
an 80-yard field goal.
The Nittany Lions opened the game
with outstanding performances in the
punt game. Butterworth pinned the
Wildcats onthe1-, 8-, and15-yardline be-
fore Northwestern picked up a first
down.
On those type of punts, Im trying to
get it as deepas possible intheir ownter-
ritory, Butterworth said. Its a great
feeling knowing the defense is able to
hold them over and over again.
Each of Butterworths three punts in-
side the 20 impeded Northwesterns ef-
forts to run its high-powered offense. As
a result, the Wildcats failed to use its
highly-successful option attack until the
second quarter.
Football is complimentary, Butler
said. The special teams puts the offense
on a short field. It limits what they can
do. Thats a good offense right there.
They cant throw. They cant run their
option play. I think we had the ball on
our side of the field for the whole first
quarter. Thepuntinggamecompliments
our defense.

Hardly a special delivery for Penn State
By JAY MONAHAN
For The Times Leader
STATE COLLEGE -- Bill
OBrien had bristled at the
label before the season.
A gambler? What did that
mean?
The Penn State coach shook
off the suggestion that he was a
risk-taker in the days before the
season opener.
But whether by nature or
necessity because of putrid
special teams play, thats exact-
ly what OBrien has been
through six games leading the
Nittany Lions.
It was never more evident
than on Saturday. Six times
Penn State went for it on
fourth down against North-
western and the Lions convert-
ed on five.
They needed every one of
them to rally past the Wildcats
for a 39-28 win.
On the sideline, you feel
like youre gonna have a heart
attack, linebacker Michael
Mauti said of the close calls.
Some of it is because of the
extreme uncertainty at kicker --
Sam Ficken is just 3-of-9 on
field goals this season. But
OBrien said its just as much
about getting a feel for the
game when deciding to go for
it.
A lot of times its worked
out this year where its been
about field position, OBrien
said. I dont think you see me
going for it on fourth down
backed up inside our own 20 --
or really ever on our side of the
50. I might have done it a few
times, but not too often.
Its not that hard on a play-
caller, because your third-down
call is like a second-down call
when you know youre going to
go for it. Its not like all of a
sudden you say, Were going to
go for it. Its a thought-out
deal.
Quarterback Matt McGloin
picked up four of the conver-
sions himself, going 3-for-4 on
fourth down for 31 yards and a
touchdown to Allen Robinson
that pulled Penn State within
three points in the fourth quar-
ter.
McGloin and tailback Zach
Zwinak each converted a
fourth-and-1 on the ground.
Im a firm believer,
McGloin said, that you get
four downs for a reason. And
coach OBrien, I dont have to
tell you (what he thinks).
Thats how we won the
game today. Going for it on
fourth downs. I wont be sur-
prised if we continue to do it
for the rest of the year.
Infirmary report
The Lions came into the
game as healthy as they had
been all season. Only one play-
er who contributed this season
-- Valley Views Nyeem Wart-
man -- did not suit up as he
recovers from a knee injury.
Defensive end Pete Massaro
returned after missing three
games with a shoulder injury
and some lingering soreness in
his surgically repaired knee.
The senior was welcomed
back to the field by being
named a game captain, joining
Evan Lewis and Brian Irvin at
midfield for the coin toss.
Redshirt freshman Deion
Barnes, however, made his
fourth straight start in Massa-
ros place, getting the nod for
the fifth time in six games.
Left tackle Donovan Smith
got his first start since the
Virginia game. He missed two
games with a lower leg injury
before returning last week
against Illinois, though he sat
out the opening series.
Smiths foot and ankle ap-
peared to be fine, but the red-
shirt freshman was sporting an
impossible-to-miss white cast
on his right hand.
Streak snapped
Penn State kept one season-
long streak alive but lost anoth-
er that had dated back to 2005.
The Lions have still not
allowed a point in the first
quarter through six games.
Northwestern did, however,
become the first team to score
a touchdown in the first half
against the Lions when Venric
Mark scored on a 2-yard run in
the second quarter.
On a more historic note,
when the Wildcats Trevor
Siemian threw a scoring strike
to Tony Jones in the third
quarter, it was the first points
the Wildcats scored after half-
time against Penn State since
Pat Fitzgerald took over as
head coach in 2006, a span of
four games.
Northwesterns most recent
second-half touchdown against
the Lions had come back in
2004 under the late Randy
Walker. That was also the last
time the Wildcats had beaten
Penn State.

"Zach, we felt, was running the ball
downhill," Penn State coach Bill OBrien
said. "We felt his physical presence in this
type of game was something we wanted to
go with."
So the Lions went with Zwinak again
and again.
The red-shirt sophomore running back
took six handoffs for 37 yards and added a
six-yard catch to cover more than half the
yardage on an 80-yard touchdown drive
that lifted the Lions into a 17-14 lead mid-
way through the third quarter.
Zwinak also gained 15 yards on the
ground and added 26 more yards on three
catches during a touchdown drive that
pulled Penn State within three points mid-
way through the final quarter, and added a
16-yard rush on the Lions go-ahead touch-
down march.
"Its a confidence-builder," Zwinak said.
"The coach trusts you enough to go in and
make the plays. I go into each game hoping
Ill get a play or two. Whoevers making
the plays, hes going to keep calling your
number. We have a lot of great running
backs. Im happy they allow me to do it."
Said OBrien, "We always try to achieve
some type of balance."
After working double-duty to provide
balance between Penn States running and
passing games, its a wonder Zwinak
didnt start wobbling.
With his 34 touches Saturday, Zwinak
handled the ball almost as much as
McGloin and center Matt Stankiewitch --
who exchange every offensive snap.
"Im hurting, too, a little bit right now,"
Zwinak said with a grin. "Just sore."
But its the kind of pain he worked to
achieve during a summer of sweat he en-
dured with hopes of playing a bigger part
in Penn States offense.
"It feels great," Zwinak said, "but I cant
do it alone."
Maybe he can, if Saturday was any in-
dication of how his game is starting to
grow.
STATE COLLEGE -- Hes already proven
to be viable threat while running with the
football.
But who knewZach Zwinak was so capa-
ble catching it?
Certainly not him.
You see, Zwinak came to Penn State as a
fullback who was more accustomed to hav-
ing the football placed against his belly
than thrown against his chest. And since
he wasnt naturally gifted with the art of
grabbing passes, he feared his body would
be a repellent to balls thrown his way.
"At my high school, we didnt really
throw the ball much," Zwinak said. "I
didnt have any confidence in my hands.
They were like brick walls."
Somehow, they softened, and not a min-
ute too soon for the Nittany Lions.
Zwinak pulled in six passes for 52 yards
-- second on the team Saturday -- while
helping Penn State come back for a 39-28
victory over previously-unbeaten North-
western.
Most importantly, he didnt drop one.
Mainly because he spent one long sum-
mer snaring hurtling objects.
"Tennis balls, footballs from jugs ma-
chines, (from) quarterbacks, seven-on-
sevens," Zwinak said, rattling off all the
drills he endured this past summer. "I
needed it. I was really bad."
Now, hes really good.
The six catches Zwinak made against
Northwestern came in handy and comple-
mented his 121-yard rushing day.
"Zachs one of the hardest-working guys
on the team, and one of the strongest,"
said Penn State quarterback Matt
McGloin, a West Scranton High School
grad. "I was proud of Zach, what he did
today. He really focused on his (pass) pro-
tection and got out in the passing game.
He had five or six catches, which was great
to see."
It was even better when the Nittany Li-
ons were watching Zwinak run with the
ball.
He ran four times for 32 yards on Penn
States 40-yard scoring march in the sec-
ond quarter, including an 11-yard burst
and a drive-culminating 1-yard plunge
over the goal line for the games first
touchdown.
Zwinak didnt start the game -- its al-
ways a competition during the week of
practice for playing time and starting roles
in Penn States backfield -- but he sure fin-
ished it with a flourish. Penn State shied
away from Saturdays starting tailback Bill
Belton through the second half, and relied
on Zwinak to help overcome a deficit that
reached 11 points.

EDWARDSVILLE No
team wants to be on the other
end of a programs first victo-
ry.
Wilkes was in jeopardy of be-
ing the first casualty for Miser-
icordia on Saturday at
Schmidt Stadium.
Then a strong second half by
the Colonels erased the scare,
as they outscored the Cougars
by 28 points in the final 30
minutes of a 45-13 victory.
We started to string a few
series together on both sides
of the ball. We just couldnt do
it in the second half, Miser-
icordia coach Mark Ross said.
Thats a good football team
and depth-wise, were not
quite where we need to be to
hang for 60 minutes yet. I hate
to say that but thats the real-
ity of the situation.
Misericordia (0-6, 0-5 MAC)
got off to a great start as Juwan
Petties-Jackson returned the
opening kickoff 90 yards to
give the Cougars the first lead
in program history, going up
6-0. They continued to stifle
Wilkes (3-2, 2-2) on its first
drive, forcing a three-and-out.
Its the first time we had
something positive, Ross
said. It was so exciting for the
kids, we couldnt get the per-
sonnel out to kick the extra
point right.
After Wilkes Aux Wogou
scored a pair of rushing touch-
downs later in the first quarter
and Jordan Fredo knocked
through a 20-yard field goal for
a 17-6 Colonels lead, the Cou-
gars sustained a long drive,
ending with a 5-yard TD from
quarterback Jeff Puckett to
Dean Lucchesi to trimthe lead
to 17-13 heading into halftime.
We came in (at halftime)
yelling and screaming saying
that we need to turn things
around. Theres no way they
should be in this game, said
Wilkes linebacker Tate Moore-
Jacobs, who had a game-high
14 tackles, including four for a
loss.
Then the Colonels looked
like the team that has been a
force in the MAC over the last
several years. They regrouped
and came out on fire, holding
the Cougars to 79 total yards
in the second half while piling
up nearly 300 of their own and
scoring on all four of their pos-
sessions.
Definitely intensity,
Wilkes coach Frank Sheptock
said about the difference in his
team in the second half. We
need to start finding our burst
earlier in the game to play
with some of the upper eche-
lon teams in the MAC.
Entering the game with the
top rushing offense in the
MAC, Wilkes used its run of-
fense to its advantage with
four rushing touchdowns in
the second half and 179 yards
on the ground, including all
119 yards Pat Inguilli racked
up in the game-high perform-
ance.
The freshman from Wallen-
paupack didnt get a carry un-
til the third quarter, but fin-
ished with a pair of touch-
downs on 20 carries. Inguilli
got those carries after Wogou
left the game in the second
quarter with an injury that ap-
peared to be a severe knee ail-
ment.
Calvin Garvin and P.J. Incre-
mona also had short touch-
down runs in the second half
for the Colonels. Wogou
rushed for 77 yards on 15 tou-
ches before falling with injury.
Eight backs had carries for
positive yardage for Wilkes.
I think thats one of our
deepest groups, Sheptock
added. Aux is our most expe-
rienced player and with what
were doing right now it will
be difficult to lose his services.
But were deep and Im real
pleased with how were run-
ning the football.
Puckett, who led the Cou-
gars in rushing with 46 yards,
was also very efficient with his
passing, completing nine of
his 11attempts for 63 yards and
one interception. Kurt Kowal-
ski led the Cougars with 34
yards receiving on five recep-
tions.
Ross said that hes trying to
get Petties-Jackson more in-
volved in the teams plans. He
was used on offense, defense
and special teams after start-
ing the season just at corner-
back. The freshman totaled
164 kick return yards, eight re-
ceiving yards and even had
one rush and one tackle.
I think hes very talented,
Sheptock lauded about the
Cougars all-around athlete.
Hes a person thats definitely
going to put some fear in the
MAC over the next four
years.

DALLAS Just when it
couldnt possibly get worse for
Pittston Area in the first half,
somehow it did.
Dallas quarterback Ryan Za-
poticky dropped a shotgun snap.
Then he picked up the ball,
stepped up in the pocket and
threw a 43-yard dart to Ryan Ko-
zloski.
Touchdown, Mountaineers.
It was that kind of Saturday af-
ternoon for Pittston Area and
that kind of Saturday afternoon
for Dallas.
Dallas dominated every aspect
of the game, handing the Patriots
a 35-0 loss in a Wyoming Valley
Conference Division 3A contest.
Dallas (3-3) won for the third
consecutive time. Pittston Area
(2-4) has its winning streak stop-
ped at two. The Patriots were
shut out for a third time this sea-
son.
Zapotickys touchdown pass,
one of four he threw, came with
47 seconds left in the second
quarter. It came two plays after a
Pittston Area fumble near mid-
field.
Its much better going into
halftime down 14-0 than 21-0,
Pittston Area coach Mike Barrett
said. It was a blown coverage.
That kind of took the wind out of
our sails.
The touchdown actually made
the score 20-0at halftime. But the
one-point discrepancy mattered
little. The Patriots couldnt mus-
ter much offense in the first half
and that carried over to the final
two quarters.
Pittston Area had just 64 yards
of offense at halftime. The run-
ning game produced just 11on12
carries. And the Patriots never
crossed midfield on their own.
The only time they were on Dal-
las half was when the Mountain-
eers failed to convert a fake punt.
Pittston Area had the ball only
twice in the second half and its
deepest penetration was the Dal-
las 27-yard line. The Patriots fin-
ished with 4 yards rushing on 19
carries. Quarterback James Em-
mett was11of 19for121yards, but
many of those completions came
with the game well in hand.
Our defense the last three
weeks has done an outstanding
job, Dallas coach Bob Zaruta
said. Williamsport (last week)
gained just over 100 yards. (Pitt-
ston Area) was probably around
that or a little less, perhaps. Were
just playing tough defensive foot-
ball.
Dallas punctuated its strong
defensive effort on Pittston Ar-
eas final play from scrimmage.
Defensive lineman Ryan Monk
sacked Emmett, forcing a fumble
that fellow lineman Buddy Shut-
lock caught in the air.
Emmett was sackedfour times.
Pittston Area had four turnovers
after totaling five in its last three
games.
It was a tough week, Barrett
said. I thought we had thempre-
pared, and they were more phys-
ical than us today.
We had a few key injuries. I
think about four or five of our
guys went down and we could
never get into a rhythm.

WILKES-BARREFour young
Wyoming Area children ran onto
the turf of Wilkes-Barre Memo-
rial Stadium, small footballs and
pen in hand.
They quickly searched out
Nick OBrien and asked for his
autograph.
You cant blame the young-
sters. They just wanted their op-
portunity to catch a piece of War-
rior history.
OBrien became the schools
all-time leading rusher on a 32-
yard touchdown run on the first
play of the second quarter, and
Wyoming Area reached the end
zone early and often in a 69-28
victory over Holy Redeemer Sat-
urday afternoon.
OBrien needed 69 yards to
break the record held by former
standout Jim Pizano, which
stood at 4,086. The senior now
has 4,118 yards with four games
remaining in the regular season.
Its a great feeling, he said. It
stands inthe recordbookas anin-
dividual accomplishment, but re-
ally, I feel that it is an entire team
effort. Every kid, every lineman
that has ever blocked for me, the
entire team and the coaching
staff all deserve the honor as
well.
The senior record-holder wast-
ed little time making his impact
felt.
He scored on a short, 1-run
yard on the Warriors opening
drive, and on the next series,
foundCody Schmitz for a 33-yard
score.
His record-breaker, a 32-yard
jaunt down the sideline, gave the
Warriors a 27-6 lead 10 seconds
into the second quarter.
I couldnt be more proud of
him, Wyoming Area head coach
Randy Spencer said. As much as
he does athletically, hes a great
character guy. He wants to make
that unselfish play, whether it is a
block or make sure to point out
how well someone else is doing.
Hes amazing from a leadership
standpoint.
OBriens day was done after
one half. He rushed for 101yards,
completed1of 3for atouchdown,
and also caught one ball for 21
yards.
Hes an explosive athlete, Re-
deemer head coach Pat Reece
said. We created a bubble and
we wanted to keep him in that
bubble. We needed the kids to do
their assignments, but if he got
outside that containment, he
would be dangerous. And he
was.
Wyoming Area (4-2) was ex-
plosive.
The Warriors had six touch-
downs more than 30 yards in
length. Jordan Zezza threw for
three touchdowns, completing
all five of his passes for 182 yards.
He had TD throws of 40, 32 and
76 yards the latter to Zack La-
nunziata that pushed the game
into the mercy rule.
In total, Wyoming Area out-
gainedHolyRedeemer (1-5), 575-
298, in total yardage.
Vince Villani provided the first
spark for the Royals, using a
quickburst of speeddowntheleft
sideline for an 80-yard touch-
down on a kickoff return.
The problemwas Wyoming Ar-
ea already had a 19-0 lead. The
Warriors scored on seven of its
eight first-half possessions, and
nine of 11 for the game.
Redeemer quarterback Jimmy
Strickland had another solid out-
ing, completing 15 of 29 for 216
yards and two touchdowns.

crownis just a littlesidething. Its
just a bonus.
Benton finished with nine
catches for 108 yards, including
an11-yard TDreception with 7:11
left in the third quarter that
boosted GARs lead to 28-14. The
Grenadiers entered the game
with100 pass attempts, but quar-
terback Corey Moore nearly
threw half that many Saturday
night.
Moore finished 23 of 47 for 293
yards as the Grenadiers found lit-
tle running room. Although Ben-
ton had a 33-yard TD run in the
second quarter, GAR ended up
with a net of 29 yards on the
ground on 23 carries.
Our offense is like an air raid
attack, GAR coach Paul Wie-
dlich Jr. said. We use the pass as
a run. Most of our routes are any-
where between 3 and 10 yards.
Given credit to Lehman. They
shut our run down. We did what
we are getting better at.
Of course, the caveat of throw-
ing so much is the possibility of
interceptions. Lehman got two in
unique fashion to rally from the
28-14 deficit to 28-26 late in the
third quarter.
The first was by 6-foot-6 defen-
sive lineman Pete Borum, who
tipped and intercepted a pass
that led to a 3-yard TD run by
Dustin Jones. The second was by
Josh Winters, who intercepted a
pass, took a vicious hit and fum-
bled the ball into the arms of
teammate Brady Butler. Winters
followed with a 38-yard touch-
down reception, but the two-
point pass failed and Lehman
trailed 28-26.
They dida hell of job knowing
when to throwthe ball, Lehman
coach Jerry Gilsky said. We
made our adjustments at half and
limited them in the second half.
But we came uptwo points short,
technically. I dont count that last
score, but it is a score though.

NFL SUNDAY
WWW. T I ME S L E ADE R. C OM/ S P ORT S
WHEN I WAS about
6-years-old, I set out to
discover gold. Really.
I had one of those kids
encyclopedias that had
little pictures of what
each state in the U.S.
produced Pennsylvania
had a little mining pick
and some coal, Wisconsin a cow and a bottle
of milk you get the idea.
But it was glorious Alaska that caught my
eye. It had the little mining pick, but with a
nugget of gold next to it. Gold, I knew, was
valuable, and I had only to go to Alaska and
start digging and I would be fabulously
wealthy I might even make $20.
So, I packed some peanut butter sand-
wiches, bananas and
chocolate milk in
some boxes, stored
them under my bed
and waited for the
excursion to begin.
A week later, my
mom discovered an
interesting smell in my
room and found the
green-covered remains
of what was to be my
stores for the journey.
It was at this time I
was introduced to the
concept of distance,
mining expertise and
the limitations parents
could put on a 6-year-
old.
Sometimes reality is
just one big old kick in
the head.
And a kick in the
head is exactly what I
need right now. Not a
literal one, of course.
After four weeks of trying to figure out the
fantasy landscape, its time for a king-sized
reality check. Its time to rethink what I
already thinked I thunk. Like
Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins offense
isnt a fantasy wasteland. Silly me. I thought
the Cardinals defense would have its way
with run-oriented Miami. But 431 yards
passing for Tannehill and 253 receiving yards
for Brian Hartline say otherwise. Now, dont
expect those kinds of numbers every week,
but Tannehill has entered the conversation
as a good fantasy option. And Hartline has
become a great spot starter at WR.
The Vikings defense is one you should
get. They held the 49ers running attack
down in a Week 3 upset and bottled up the
Lions in Week 4. Toss in a couple of special
teams touchdowns and youve got yourself a
valuable squad.
Maybe this wasnt the year to get a QB
early. Oh you cant go wrong with Drew
Brees. Hes just darn good. But fellow first
round choices Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady
and Cam Newton have been up and down,
and Matthew Staffords just been down.
Meanwhile, mid-round pick-ups Matt Ryan,
Joe Flacco and Robert Griffin III have been
racking up the fantasy points.
Darren McFadden was overvalued. If he
only stays healthy, my brain said. Hell be
the best back in the NFL. My brain has
trust issues. McFaddens stats are padded by
one 64-yard TD run. Take that away, and his
top rushing output of the year is 49 yards.
Jamal Charles was undervalued. Charles,
was coming back from an ACL tear and had
goal-line vulture Peyton Hillis to deal with.
Hows that working out? Charles has dealt
with those issues to the tune of 513 total
yards and 3 TDs. Charles is the better back.
START THESE GUYS
Reggie Wayne, WR, Colts. The Packers
will put up points, which means the Colts
will be throwing early and often to keep up.
And Wayne is Andrew Lucks favorite target.
Ryan Matthews, RB, Chargers. So, he was
supposed to be a top-three RB this year?
That aint happening. But he will have the
chance to play like one against the wet
napkin that is the Saints defense.
Matt Cassel, QB, Chiefs. Teams have been
able to throw on the Ravens defense. They
just cant stop the Ravens offense. If that
trend holds, Baltimore will rack up the
points and Kansas City will be forced to pass
a whole lot. Thems good stats for Cassel.
NOT THESE
Stevan Ridley, RB, Patriots. New England
is funny with its running backs. Ridley has
shown he can be a good one, but the Pats
only rely on him in certain game plans. This
game smells like an up-tempo affair, and the
last time they had one of those -- New En-
gland vs. Baltimore -- Ridley was an after-
thought.
Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Steelers. Two
things work against Ben this week. The
Eagles have been good at pressuring oppos-
ing QBs and the Steelers have been lousy at
pass protection. Doesnt sound like a recipe
for 300 yards and three TDs, does it?
Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, Jaguars. The
Bears defense knows how to scheme against
an opponent. And when you play Jackson-
ville, your game plan is, Dont let Jones-
Drew beat you.
RICH SHEPOSH
F A N T A S Y F O O T B A L L
Ever need
a good kick
in the head?
If your fantasy
defense is strug-
gling, take a look
at the Rams.
Theyve shut down
the Seahawks and
Cardinals the last
two weeks, and
after two brutal
matchups Green
Bay and New
England six of
their next seven
opponents have
so-so offenses.

A STATE OF WAR
AP FILE PHOTO
If the Steelers want to win today, they need to avoid scenes
like this. When the teams play, QB Ben Roethlisberger tends
to get sacked a lot by the Eagles.
Tom Brady, meet Peyton Man-
ning. Peyton. Tom. Oh, you
two have met before? Yeah,
like 13 times before. And
usually, its Bradys Patri-
ots coming out on top.
Hes won eight of those
meetings. This will be the
first time Manning is wearing
Bronco orange, however. Not
that color schemes have
anything to do with winning
or anything.
>> EAGLES VS. STEELERS: Did you know
that the Eagles used to be the Steelers and
the Steelers the Eagles? Its true. Way back
in 1940, Steelers owner Art Rooney actually
sold the team and bought a share of the
Eagles franchise. With World War II looming
and player shortages inevitable, his goal
was to have an all-Pa. team called the
Pennsylvania Keystoners. But NFL politics
intervened and the idea was nixed. Since
Rooney wanted to stay in Pittsburgh, he
and the new Pittsburgh owner agreed to a
swap. The Pittsburgh team moved east and
Philadelphias team moved west. Somehow,
it must be no comfort to Eagles fans that
their team has won six Super Bowls.
>> FALCONS VS. REDSKINS: The Wash-
ington Redskins are a very balanced team.
And not in a good way. The team ranks
fourth in the NFL in points scored with 123.
Problem is, theyve also given up 123 points.
Not surprisingly the team is 2-2. The Atlan-
ta Falcons can also score a few points.
Theyre good for third in the NFL with one
more point than Washington. Toss in the
random fact that the last NFL game that
ended in a tie involved the Falcons, and you
can go to Vegas and bet the house on a tie.
Just make sure its your neighbors house.
>> TEXANS VS. JETS: When the NFL
returned to Houston in the early 2000s,
team big wigs were bandying about poten-
tial nicknames and, obviously, they chose
the Texans. But that wasnt
the first time the name
was used. In 1974,
the Houston
Texans played in
the short-lived
World Football
League one of
several leagues
back in the 70s
and 80s that tried
and failed to compete
with the NFL. The
original Texans
didnt even
finish their
first season
in Houston
before
moving to Shreveport, La.,
and becoming the Shreve-
port Steamer.
>> BRONCOS VS. PATRIOTS: You might
have heard of Tom Brady and Peyton Man-
ning. Each has won the Super Bowl, multiple
league MVP awards and have nice side jobs
as TV pitchmen. And they are also in a small
group of NFL players to have hosted Sat-
urday Night Live. So who gets the hosting
edge? Hard to say. Manning cursed at chil-
dren when he was on and Brady was walking
around in his underwear. Cursing at children
seems meaner, so advantage Manning.
>> BILLS VS. 49ERS: People probably
think the San Francisco 49ers did nothing
as a franchise before Joe Montana arrived
in 1979. But the 49ers had a number of
good years before Joe. What they didnt
have was a logo that stayed out of trou-
ble until 1968. From the teams inception
in 1946, this old coot was the face of
the franchise. He looks like a
guy named Pappy who
got all liquored up, fired
off a few rounds
and spent the night
in the drunk tank.
And someone
should work on him
with his firing tech-
nique. From that
position, he could
shoot out more
than his eye.

field day during his final high
school season. Hes among the
Wyoming Valley Conferences
leaders in goals with 10, assists
with seven and points with 27.
Its like having another coach
on the field with the team,
Northwest coach Pete Malischak
said of Carr. Hes Mr. Every-
thing.
Hes also Mr. Nice guy.
Rather than try to dominate
the girls game, which Carr cer-
tainly can, he prefers to play a
more subduedgame almost like
a boxer pulling some punches.
Thats intentional.
I dont try to show off or any-
thing. I always trytoturnit down,
take it easy, not go crazy, Carr
said.
Maybe a little too much.
Hes morewillingtopass off to
girls he thinks can score, Malis-
chak said, rather than take the
shot himself. I have to get on him
sometimes to shoot.
But to Carr, stick-work at this
level is much more important
than scoring goals.
A perfect example came on
Northwests final goal of a 3-0 vic-
tory over Meyers on Wednesday.
Carr didnt get credit for an assist
on the play, but he started the
rush with a mesmerizing flick
pass over an opponents stick and
onto a teammates.
Hes out here practicingall the
time, Malischak said. And hes
doing stuff Ive never seena hock-
ey player do. The goal we scored
down low, I think he passed it be-
tween his legs.
One blast ona free hit off Carrs
stick caught a Meyers player in
the leg, knocking her from the
game. Carr was the first one to
come to her aid.
Hes very upset if he hits a ball
andaccidentallyhurts agirl, Ma-
lischak said. He doesnt like to
hurt anybody.
Mostly, I try to be nice to ev-
erybody on the opposing team,
Carr said. I date girls fromother
teams. I get along with all of
them. My team, they all like me
as far as I know.
He knows opportunities for
mens field hockey players are dif-
ficult to find in the United States.
Thats why the son of Heather
andGlennCarr Sr. of Shickshinny
considered going to Canada to
play collegiately before deciding,
Its far away and its a lot more
money.
Instead, hesaid, hes leaningto-
ward attending college locally
and helping other field hockey
players while keeping his game
sharp at practices.
Its fun, Carr said.
For him, its turning into the
challenge of a lifetime.

professional cyclist in history
whose biography could make
50 Shades of Gray look like
a childrens book.
Lets just say Anquetil led a
colorful life and Howard lays
it all out in his biography of

At times, Anquetil is a diffi-
cult person to like, but thats
one of the things that makes
this one so hard to put down.
Rough day for Valentine
Former Red Sox manager
Bobby Valentine certainly had
a rough season this year.
Being fired last Thursday
certainly couldnt have been a
highlight for Valentine.
But neither was last Tues-
day when Valentine an avid
cyclist crashed his bike
during a ride through New
Yorks Central Park.
Rest assured, according to
the New York Post, he had
only himself to blame. Valen-
tine crashed when he became
distracted while reading a
text.
Maybe, Bobby should just
stick to those Lifecycles we
all will be riding this winter.

American cycling has
grown in leaps and bounds
since Greg Lemond won three
Tour de Frances back in the
80s.
Its beginnings were beyond
humble, however.
Drake traces those orgins
back to the dreams of two
men and a conveinence store
company with cash to spare.
Along the way he follows the
careers of star riders such as
Andy Hampsten, Davis Phin-
ney and Bob Roll.
If you like to follow the pro
peloton, you will enjoy this
book.

Jacques Anquetil was the
first man to win the Tour de
France five times, the first to
win all three grand tours and
the first to win the Tour de
France and Vuelta in the same
year.

Now that
fall has offi-
cially arrived,
I have to re-
luctantly ad-
mit that the
days of my
2012 cycling
season are numbered.
There was once a time
when I would continue to ride
right up until snow forced me
off the road.
But once the temperatures
start dipping into the 50s I
seriously start considering
heading indoors to the Life-
cycle.
So knowing that there are
probably more than a few
riders out there like me that
will soon be hitting the gym
rather than the open roads, I
offer up few interesting reads
to keep your cycling fires
burning through the long cold
winter.
And fortunately, all the
books Im recommending are
available as ebooks, which
should make dragging them
to the gym all that much
easier.

Amazon describes the book
as a laugh-out-loud rant and

BikeSnobNYC, or whatever

PGC open house
State Rep. Gerald Mullery
will host an open house
with the Pennsylvania
Game Commission on
Tuesday, Oct. 23, at
Luzerne County Com-
munity College. A pre-
sentation will be given
by the agencys black
bear biologist, Mark
Ternent, and PGC offi-
cials will be on hand to
answer questions. For
more information, call
740-7031.
Mountain Springs
Lake to be drained
The Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission
(PFBC) announced that
deficiencies at Luzerne
Countys Mountain
Springs Lake have
prompted the agency to
completely drain the
reservoir and proceed
with plans to breach the
dam.
Commission engineers
and the state Depart-
ment of Environmental
Protection routinely
inspect the dam and,
during a recent in-
spection, we found large
cracks in the concrete,
said Jack Rokavec, PFBC
chief of engineering.
Excessive seepage has
also been observed
through the embank-
ment. The dam is more
than 100 years old, and
was designed and built
prior to current dam
safety regulations and
engineering standards
of practice.
The drawdown is expected
to begin in mid-October
and may take more than
a month to complete.
The lake can be drained
at a rate of about one
foot per day, depending
on weather. The actual
breaching of the dam is
not expected to take
place until late 2013 or
early 2014.
At this point, the PFBC has
no plans to rebuild the
dam. Agency waterways
conservation officers
say the lake receives
minimal use, in part
because of the difficulty
in reaching it. The lake is
accessible only by a
five-mile, unpaved road
through State Game
Land 57. Also, agency
biologists report that
the lake is a poor fishery
because of the acidic
water. Biologists do not
plan to conduct a fish
salvage prior to the
drawdown because of
the poor condition of
the fishery and because
the condition of the
access road prohibits
them from getting the
necessary equipment to
the lake.
The lake will remain open
to public use until the
water level reaches a
point where it may be
unsafe for anglers. At
that point the lake will
be closed and signs will
be posting alerting
anglers of the closing.
The 40-acre lake borders
Ricketts Glen State Park
and State Game Land
57. It was previously
lowered in 1999 by
approximately two feet
due to structural con-
cerns with the dam.
River access
reopened
The PFBC announced that
the Whites Ferry access
area in Wyoming County
is open again for public
use.
The access area was closed
in late July due to low
water conditions, which
made the launch ramp
unusable. PFBC staff
extended the ramp by
pouring stone at the end
and then placing con-
crete planks over the
stone.
Whites Ferry provides boat
access to the North
Branch of the Susque-
hanna River, six miles
south of Tunkhannock
on state Route 2007.

NOT ES
F
ishing on the opening day of
trout season can be tough for a
kid.
Along most stocked waterways,
competition for real estate is fierce
when it comes to find a place to cast
from and a spot in the water to cast to.
Anglers get bumped, lines get tan-
gled and tempers sometimes flare. And
unfortunately, respect gets thrown to
the wayside.
The entire experience can be an
intimidating one for a child, and it
shouldnt be that way.
Last week, the Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission took a step to help
children enjoy the opening day of trout
without enduring the throngs of adults
that crowd favorite fishing spots. The
PFBC found the ultimate solution to
the problem one that hopefully sits
well with everyone.
They gave kids their own opening
day.
The concept is long overdue, yet still
a very proactive approach by the board
as it unanimously approved its first
mentored youth program that essen-
tially gives kids -- those 16 and under --
their own opening day of trout season.
The concept is the same as the Penn-
sylvania Game Commissions mentor
program, and it makes perfect sense.
Beginning in the spring of 2013, kids
will be able to fish the Saturday before
the season opener in the southeast on
select waters within the 18-county
region.
The waterways will be stocked with
trout ahead of time, and those partici-
pating must register for the program
and be accompanied by a mentor who
has a valid fishing license and trout
permit. The youth and the adult men-
tor can both fish, and they can each
keep two trout, insuring there will be
enough left over when the opening day
for the rest of us comes around a week
later.
Kingston resident Norm Gavlick,
who is one of 10 commissioners on the
PFBC board, said he expects the men-
tor program to be well-received by the
angling public.
If any adult anglers do take excep-
tion to letting a child have the first shot
at catching a couple trout, shame on
them.
Its going to be a great opportunity
for kids to have some space out there
and get first crack at catching a couple
trout, he said.
That first crack could pay dividends
for years to come. If children have an
enjoyable experience on opening day,
chances are theyll want to do it again
and eventually become license buyers.
Gavlick also said the board will re-
examine the mentor program and will
likely discuss expanding it to other
areas, if not the entire state.
Lets hope that happens.
Nothing captures a childs attention
like fishing for trout on opening day. It
has all the elements needed to make
for a memorable experience.
A kids-only opening day will make
sure those memories are positive.
In fact, I wish it was around when I
was a kid. Growing up, there was noth-
ing I loved more that trout fishing.
Nothing could keep me away from the
banks of my favorite stocked stream on
opening day -- not weather, illness,
homework, nothing at all.
Almost.
There were a few opening days in my
childhood when crowds made it diffi-
cult simply to have an opportunity to
fish. Those crowds filled with adults
-- were so focused on catching stocked
trout that sometimes I got bumped out
of the way.
It was a disheartening experience,
and its one that Ive seen other kids
endure today.
Kids are the future of our sport, and
theres only one thing thats going to
keep them involved -- make fishing fun.
On March 23, its going to be a blast.

When a pair of bills were introduced in
the state legislature last week that
would drastically change the way the
Pennsylvania Game Commission does
business, it caught board president
Ralph Martone by surprise.
A few days later, however, Martone be-
lieved he had a good idea why the bills
were introduced and what could be done
to address the issue.
On Oct. 1, state Senator Richard Al-
loway (R-Chambersburg) introduced SB
1603, which would cut the fees for hunt-
ing licenses in half. The bill was dis-
cussed during the Senate Game and
Fisheries Committee hearing on Oct. 3,
but no vote was taken.
Also last week, a House bill (HB
2073), introduced by state Rep. David
Maloney (R-Berks) that would remove
the Game Commissions exemption from
the Independent Regulatory Review
Commission (IRRC) was scheduled for a
vote by the House State Committee on
Oct. 2, but the meeting was canceled.
Alloway could not be reached for com-
ment last week, but Martone said SB
1603 wouldve cut the agencys revenues
in half, forcing it to use funds realized
from Marcellus Shale leases and royal-
ties to make ends meet.
By including the Game Commission
under the IRRC, it wouldve added
months or even a year or two to the time
it would take for board actions to be ap-
proved, Martone said.
Wed have to set seasons and bag lim-
its two to three years in advance, and
wed be very limited in how we handle
population and habitat changes, Mar-
tone said. It would absolutely create
some serious issues for some species.
Maloney said even under IRRC review,
some actions can be handled in an emer-
gency manner, speeding up the process.
He said one of his
main reasons for the bill
was to improve the agen-
cys accountability to
hunters.
I have an honest con-
cern, Maloney said, cit-
ing deer management
and the decline of hunt-
ing license sales. When
you have extreme cir-
cumstances, sometimes
it requires extreme mea-
sures.
Since no action was
taken on the bills, for
now, Martone said he be-
lieves they were a result
of legislators becoming frustrated with
communication issues with the PGC.
I talked to some commissioners and
we all feel we can do a better job commu-
nicating with legislators, and we intend
to, he said. I would like to see a better
relationship between not just the agency
and legislators, but the board and legis-
lators also.
Maloney agreed, but added the biggest
communication issue is with hunters,
not legislators.
Sure they can do a better job commu-
nicating, but the real problem is the lack
of communication or just listening to the
sportsmen, he said.
One root of the communication issue
stems from a move by the agency to seek
public comments on the possibility of
listing three species of bats Northern
long-eared bat, tri-colored bar and the
little brown bat on the states endan-
gered species list. The agency recently
announced in the Pennsylvania Bulletin
that it was considering the action and
collected public comments for more
than 30 days.
Game Commission spokesman Jerry
Feaser said the agency used the bulletin
to solicit public comments on the bat is-
sue prior to any action or recommenda-
tions in an effort to be more transparent.
He acknowledged that the agency
couldve done a better job communicat-
ing that the bulletin listing was solely
seeking public comments and not adver-
tising any proposed or adopted rulemak-
ing.
"We had some feedback from several
legislators and industry representatives
that it may be a very basic situation
where communication may have been
better as to what was going on," Feaser
said. "I believe we couldve done a better
job communicating through a news re-
lease that we were doing this."
The move generated great concern
from the timber industry and on Thurs-
day the PGC announced it will not move
forward to list the bats.
Martone said the move is related to
the recent actions by the state legisla-
tors.
(The timber industry) went to their
legislators like theyre supposed to do
and the legislators listened, Martone
said. We needed to do a better job com-
municating our intentions.
He said the idea of listing the three bat
species on the endangered species list
isnt a habitat issue but a disease issue,
relating to white-nose syndrome. As a re-
sult, restricting timber harvests
wouldnt be considered as a possible so-
lution.
We didnt communicate that, Mar-
tone said.
Now that action on the two bills has
been delayed, Martone hopes the agency
and board can resolve its communica-
tion issues with legislators to avoid fu-
ture conflicts.
He also didnt shy away from taking
responsibility for the problem.
Well take a great deal of the blame for
the confusion over the bat issue and lack
of communication with legislators,
Martone said. We intend to improve on
that in the near future.
Even though improved communica-
tion would be a positive step, Maloney
said, he still intends to pursue passage of
his bill.
As long as I have a breath I will pursue
the best interests of the sportsmen in
this state. If that means the passage of
this bill then yes, I will continue to work
for that, he said.
PGC challenged to communicate better
State legislature makes its point with
bills introduced in House, Senate,
prompting improved outdoors dialogue.

Grouse, squirrel andearly deer seasons on
the horizon:
The Pennsylvania Game Commission
says hunters can expect slightly below-aver-
age grouse numbers for the upcoming sea-
son, while the states squirrel population is
abundant heading into the fall.
The first segment of the states three-part
grouse season opens Saturday, Oct. 13, and
runs through Nov. 24. The season reopens
Dec. 10-24, and then again from Dec. 26 to
Jan. 26.
Squirrel season opens Oct. 13, and runs
through Nov. 24. The season reopens Dec.
10-24, andagainDec. 26toFeb. 23. The daily
limit is six.
The states early firearms antlerless deer
seasons early muzzleloader season, Oct.
13-20, and special firearms season for junior,
senior, active duty military and certain dis-
abled hunters, Oct. 18-20, offer hunters a
chance to enjoy deer hunting while the
weather is still mild.
To participate in the special firearms an-
tlerless season (Oct. 18-20), hunters must
havea general huntinglicenseanda validan-
tlerless deer license, andqualifyinone of the
following license categories: resident junior
or senior license holders; nonresident junior
license holder; nonresident adult license
holders age 65 or older; hold a disabled per-
sonpermit to use a vehicle as a blind; be resi-
dents who are serving on active duty in the
U.S. Armed Forces; or qualify for license and
fee exceptions under Section 2706. Sporting
arms permitted include: manually-operated
center-fire rifles, handguns and shotguns;
44-caliber or larger muzzleloading long
guns; 50-caliber or larger muzzleloading
handguns; long, recurve or compoundbows;
and crossbows.
Based on a recent change in state law and
Game Commission regulations, these two
antlerless deer seasons noware open to par-
ticipants of the Mentored Youth Hunting
Program, which was created for those under
the age of 12. Mentored youth must obtain a
MYHP permit ($2.70) for the current year,
and they may receive only one antlerless
deer licensebytransfer duringalicenseyear.
Adult mentors may transfer more than one
antlerless deer license, but they must be to
different mentored youth. The transfer is
valid only if done in the WMUfor which the
antlerless deer license was issued. A pro-
posed change in regulations to allow for the
transfer of one DMAPantlerless deer permit
to a mentored youth wont take effect until
the 2013-14 seasons, as the proposal still re-
quires final adoption by the Board.
Prepping for open seasons
Grouse, squirrel and early deer seasons
will all be opening soon, with a plentiful
squirrel population available this fall.

The Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission has found
what it hopes is the answer to
stopping the high turnover rate
of license buyers.
During its meeting last week
in Pittsburgh, the PFBC board
approved final implementation
of multi-year fishing licenses and
trout stamps. The new concept,
which became an option after a
new law giving the PFBC such
authority took effect this sum-
mer, begins on Dec. 1, and allows
anglers the option of buying a
three- or five-year license.
The move offers anglers con-
venience and a savings of $3.40
for a three-year license and $6.80
for a five-year license. It also al-
lows the agency to realize grea-
ter consistency with its license
sales, possibly leading to more
reimbursement from the federal
government.
Norm Gavlick, who represents
the Northeast Region on the
board, said there is also a possi-
bility of offering a five-year boat
registration as well.
Right now, our revenues fluc-
tuate drastically every year with
license sales, he said. With this
program, we know we have
those anglers for at least three
years, and that will help with the
reimbursement from the federal
government, which is based on
license sales.
Money from the second
through fifth years of a multi-
year license purchase will be de-
posited into a separate bank ac-
count to cover costs over the
course of those years, Gavlick
said.
Under the new law, the PFBC
has the authority to alter its li-
cense structure but it cant raise
license fees. Gavlick said the
board will consider other licens-
ing options next year, such as
family and vacation packages.
There is a whole range of
things we can do within the cur-
rent license fee structure to en-
courage people to buy fishing li-
censes, Gavlick said.
The board also approved a mo-
tion to eliminate the Early Sea-
son Trout-Stocked Waters Pro-
gram, which stocked certain wa-
terways and opened them to
trout fishing from March 1-31.
Those waters that were in the
program will now be regulated
as Approved Trout Waters Open
to Year-Round Fishing.
Local waterways affected by
the change include Lily Lake,
Moon Lake, Lake Took-a-While
and Lake Irena. Gavlick said the
move was made to allow anglers
to fish for other species, such as
bass and panfish, prior to the
start of trout season.
Multi-year licenses now on sale
PFBC approved sales of
permits and trout stamps
good for three or five years.

Commission Food and Cover
Corps employees were injured
on Monday, Oct. 1, while re-
sponding to a burning target
backstop at a shooting range on
State Game Land 183 in Palmy-
ra Township, Pike County. Ac-
cording to Game Commission
Northeast Region director Da-
niel Figured, the accident is be-
ing attributed to the illegal use
of exploding rifle targets.
Game Lands maintenance su-
pervisor Leonard Boyer and
Game Lands maintenance work-
er Charles Campfield arrived at
the range, along state Route 6,
at around 3:15 p.m., and observ-
ed a target backstop and frame
on fire. While attempting to ex-
tinguish the fire, an illegal ex-
ploding target on the ground
detonated, injuring the two.
Both men sustained burned
skin, temporary blindness and
hearing damage as a result of
the blast, and were treated at an
emergency room of a local hos-
pital.
Game Commission shooting
ranges are intended for use by
sportsmen to sight in their fire-
arms and hone their shooting
skills, Figured said. The use of
exploding targets on SGL ranges
is prohibited by agency regula-
tions and clearly poses a threat
to the safety of our employees
and others using the range. The
only targets authorized on SGL
ranges are paper targets placed
on a permanent backboard.
Several brands of exploding
targets are legal to purchase and
available commercially. They of-
ten consist of two inert chem-
icals that, when combined and
loaded into a hollow target,
cause an explosive reaction
when impacted by a high veloc-
ity bullet.
Anyone with information on
this incident is asked to contact
the agencys Northeast Region
office at 675-1143.

Today's weather
may seem more
like a a day in
November since
the high temper-
ature forecast is
for what is nor-
mal on
November 7. Oh,
and that reminds
me, we don't
turn our clock
back one hour
until November
4. A patch of
light rain will
pass over our
area today, mak-
ing for measura-
ble rain on nine
of the past 12
days. When skies
turn clear after
midnight tonight,
frost will form in
the normally
colder spots out-
side of town.
Expect a good
deal of sunshine
on both Monday
and Tuesday
when many loca-
tions will be at
their peak of fall
color. This sure is
a beautiful time
of the year.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers will overspread the Mid-Atlantic states and Northeast today as low
pressure develops over the western Atlantic. Snow will likely mix in atop the higher elevations of the
Appalachians. Look for a few thunderstorms across central and southern Florida, with showers
affecting parts of southern Texas, as well.

ony Liuzzo doesnt mind going
out on a limb, although he ac-
knowledges this years holiday
retail sales forecast is not a big risk. As
usual, the economics professor and
director of the MBA program at Wilkes
University was one of the first prognos-
ticators to make an educated guess at
how much more (its always more)
well spend in the season that can make
or break a retailers year. But at 3 per-
cent, the growth he sees is modest and
at the low end of the batch of predic-
tions released so far.
Naturally optimistic, Liuzzo cites
some good reasons to be upbeat, in-
cluding a calendar that allows the most
possible shopping days between the
traditional kickoff of Black Friday and
Christmas. While the holiday season
includes all of November and Decem-
ber, People dont get into a real buying
mood until after Thanksgiving, he
said.
Having 32 days between then and
Christmas, including five weekends,
gives shoppers more opportunity to
spend. Thats great for newspapers,
too, by the way, as they get five Sun-
days worth of advertising.
Retailers and publishers had better
make the most of it; next year the cal-
endar rolls over to make the season the
shortest possible 26 shopping days
and four weekends.
Liuzzos forecast for this year is
slightly less than in 2011, when he
predicted a 3.5 percent gain. In reality,
shoppers threw caution to the winds
and boosted their spending more than
4 percent. Still, that was a pretty good
guess after two recession years that
flummoxed nearly all forecasters.
In past years, Liuzzo has kept faith
with American consumers, but the
notes to this years forecast are larded
with cautions:
Consumer confidence is low be-
cause unemployment remains stub-
bornly high
The stock market, while perform-
ing well, still frightens many investors
Home prices continue to be de-
pressed
While interest rates are low, con-
sumer debt is still relatively high
Liuzzo and others see the conclusion
of a long and contentious election
campaign as positive. No matter who
wins, they say, at least the question of
who will be in the White House and
Congress will be settled and both busi-
nesses and consumers tend to pull in
the horns when faced with uncertainty.
Im not as confident well feel that
much better when we wake up on Nov.
7. The campaign and its distractions
have shifted the national conversation
away from serious financial challenges
at every level of government and a
financial services sector that continues
to pile on risk. If we Americans dont
face up to reality its certain that for-
eign buyers of our debt will send us a
sharp reminder that its time to get our
house in order.
But until then nearly everyone ex-
pects us to go on our merry, consum-
ing way, scouring the shelves for the
hot gift of the season. Liuzzo hasnt
tried to make that prediction in the
past, but a grad assistants research led
him to list a reinvented, high-tech
Furby and the iPad Mini, a version that
could be a hit with kids, as the must-
have gifts this season.
Only time will tell how madly we
rush to the mall for them, or instead
hold tightly to our wallets in the face of
conflicting and at best mediocre
economic news. Some restraint would
be a sign the public senses its time to
move away from consumption as an
economic model. That would conflict
with the desperate attempts by big
business and government to go back to
the future, a direction that seems like a
wrong turn.

ingredients.
Available in three flavors Uncured
Pepperoni, Four Cheese and BBQ

BADE, Taiwan On a November
afternoon two years ago, a taxi
pulled up to the gate of Ta Liang
Technology, one of countless nonde-
script companies that make up the
global gadget supply chain.
Sitting in the back seat was an
American wearing a T-shirt, shorts,
sandals and carrying a backpack,
looking like a tourist who took a
wrong turn in this town south of Tai-
pei that has few English speakers.
But the passengers business card
needed no translation: Supply Base

ment Oper-
ations Ap-

The un-
scheduled vis-
it, a glimpse of
Apples global
supply chain
in motion, set
off a scramble.
Within min-
utes, the Ap-
ple rep was
sipping coffee
with Ta
Liangs chair-
man and oth-
er executives,
who were pre-
sented with a
technological challenge that could
lead to a sizable contract.
Apples massive supply chain is
what enabled the record-breaking
rollout of the iPhone 5 in Septem-
ber; more than 5 million units were
sold by the end of its first weekend.
While the Cupertino, Calif.-based
company outsources component
production to numerous corners of
the globe, Taiwan is at the center of
the Apple manufacturing ecosys-
tem.
The island is packed with aggres-
sive and nimble companies vying to
provide under-the-cover but critical
technology that ensures that Apples
latest gadgets arrive on the global
stage by the millions at Apples com-
mand. And Taiwans importance is
apt to grow if Apple shifts the pro-
duction of its iPhone chips from

F
inding it difficult to locate skilled workers, a
local high-tech company has turned to its Ger-
manheritage andstartedanapprenticeship pi-
lot program at its local facility in Duryea.
Schott North America Inc. a maker of special-
ized glass products used in scientific and industrial appli-
cations, has hiredninepeopletoparticipateinamulti-year
apprenticeship program at its plant along York Avenue.
The program, which has been
used in Schotts home country of
Germany for decades, seeks to find
candidates with certain skill sets
that can be brought in, receive on-
the-job, hands-on training and be
hired full-time once the apprentice-
ship is complete.
Anne Marie Martin, a human re-
sources specialist with Schott, came
to Duryea from the companys oper-
ations in Germany to organize and
establish the apprenticeship pro-
gram in the United States.
She saidPennsylvania CareerLink
and the Office of Veterans Affairs
helped find candidates. More than
250people applied, many fromas far
away as Hawaii and New Mexico.
But Martin said the goal was to
hire local people and to make sure
military veterans were among the
apprentices.
We really wanted to invest in
the local community, Martin
said. The interest in veterans
comes from experience that
shows oftentimes veterans,
through their military training,
have a head start on some of the
skills that are needed to work as a
glass operator generalist, a ma-
son-metalsmithor a maintenance-
machinist, the three apprentice-

CORPORATE LADDER
Griffin Cummings
Q: One of my employees fre-
quently wears clothing that is
too small and too tight. Al-
though we have a written dress
code, Rachel has apparently
decided to ignore it. Both cus-
tomers and co-workers have
commented on the amount of
skin and cleavage she displays.
I asked Rachel if she would
like some assistance in selecting
suitable outfits for the office, but
she said no. Now I cant decide
whether I should make the dress
code more specific, send her
home tochange, or just write her
up. What would you suggest?
A: As Rachels boss, you have
every right to clearly define ap-
propriate office attire and see
that she complies. But this par-
ticular option seems to be mis-
sing fromyour list of possible ac-
tions. Somewhere between ask-
ing if she would like assistance
and writing her up is a more
logical strategy: Firmly describe
your expectations, then follow
up with ongoing feedback.
For example: Rachel, we
need to talk about appropriate
dress for the office. Any outfit
that exposes a lot of skin be-
tween your shoulders and knees
is not acceptablebecauseit looks
unprofessional. For instance, the
shirt youarewearingtodayis too
low-cut for work, but the dress
you wore yesterday was fine. To
be sure these expectations are
clear, lets discuss some other ex-
amples.
From then on, if Rachel dress-
es inappropriately, immediately
send her home to change. But
whenshe makes correct clothing
choices, acknowledge her good
judgment. When attempting to
change an employees behavior,
managers need to not only cor-
rect missteps, but also praise
progress.
Q: My co-worker, Ted, some-
times leaves the office for two or
three hours in the middle of the
day. When I refused to cover for
him, he became angry and retal-
iated by telling the owner that I
didnt have enough work to do.
Since the owner believes every
word Ted says, she decided to in-
crease my workload. Now Im
overwhelmed, but I dont know
what to do about it. By the way,
Ted is the owners nephew.
A: Your last sentence contains
the most pertinent fact about
this situation, because family
businesses have some unique
characteristics. For one thing,
relatives almost always have
greater influence and flexibility
than other employees. There-
fore, even though it may not
seemfair, the odds are good that
Teds aunt will continue to favor
him in the future.
This does not mean that you
must suffer insilence, but it does
meanthat youshouldavoidcom-
plaining about Ted. So instead of
trying to settle the score with
your vindictive colleague, calm-
ly explain to the owner howyour
unmanageableworkloadis creat-
ing business problems. Provide
meaningful examples, then pro-
pose a reasonable solution.
If these family dynamics be-
come too frustrating, you can al-
ways start looking for a more
conventional place to work. But
if you choose to stay with this
company, just remember that
getting along with Ted will be an
ongoing job requirement.

NEWYORKGlenn Bridges
can tell that the market for home
remodeling is picking up
when hes hanging cabinets or
laying a floor in a customers
house, a next-door neighbor is
bound to knock on the door and
ask if hes available for another
project.
Theyll look at his handiwork
and then say, we have some-
thing were interested in doing,
Bridges says. Its quite uplift-
ing.
The collapse of the housing
market decimated contractors
like Bridges, most of whom are
small businesses with just a
handful of employees. But many
are seeing business improve as
home sales slowly recover and
homeowners who had put off
projects during the recession are
feeling better about the econo-
my. Still, the improvement is
gradual and projects arent typi-
cally as lucrative as they were
back when homeowners were
able to borrow against a large
amount of equity intheir houses.
Bridges was so optimistic
about the remodeling market
that in February that he restart-
ed the contracting business he
was forced to shut down in 2007.
When he closed, he had to lay off
his three full-time workers. But
at the start of 2012, things began
to change.
I had people that needed
work done and all in one week-
end they said to me, why dont
you help me ... why dont you get
active again? says Bridges,
owner of Eagle Ridge Contractor
Services in Naples, Fla. He had
spent the intervening years
working on projects with other
business owners.
Hes worked steadily since
February, installing new kitch-
ens and bathrooms that range
from $10,000 to $25,000. He
hired one full-time worker when
he started his business again and
says he may take on as many as
three more if business is good
enough. And hes optimistic that
it will be, because hes getting
more requests for bids on pro-
jects.
Bridges isnt alone. Sales of
previously occupied homes are
up more than 9 percent this year,
and spending on residential con-
struction has risen 16 percent.
People who track housing trends
see signs that remodeling is on
the rise and that the improve-
ment will continue. HarvardUni-
versitys LeadingIndicator of Re-
modeling Activity suggests that
annual homeowner improve-
ment spending could rise 12.2
percent in the first quarter of
2013, up from levels reached in
the first three months of 2012.

Remodeling resurgence boosts sales for contractors

For thosechosenfor theapprentice-
ship, whichincludespay, benefits, paid
college courses and almost guaran-
teed placement in a full-time position
at Schott, the opportunity is still sink-
ingin.
Its like hitting the lottery for me,
said Ngolo, 37, an Army veteran and
resident of Nanticoke.
Steckman, whoat19istheyoungest
of the apprentices, realizes that he
could be one of the few Americans in
his generation with the potential to
workhisentireadult lifeat onecompa-
ny thanks to the program. He said too
often people his age have trouble find-
ing jobs and head to college, accumu-
late student loans and then still might
not be able tofindworkintheir field.
The Edwardsville resident, whose
father has worked at Schott for seven
months, knows hes lucky to be in the
situation he is and said hes honored
tohavebeenchosentobepartof what
he calledThe AmericanDream.
While the initiative is a plum to
those involved, the company initiated
to anticipate looming retirements
from its staff of 260. That progressive
thinking demonstrated to Monte that
thecompanyhesnowaffiliatedwithis
onthe ball.
Theyhadverygoodforesight tobe
able to see that theyre going to have
difficulties soonandits toour bene-
fit perfectly, Monte, 29, of Dallas,
said. The fact the companys willing
tointertwine its future withmine says
a lot.
The apprentices will focus most of
their time onone of three disciplines --
glass operator generalist, mason-met-
alsmith or maintenance-machinist
but will also be cross-trained so they
will be able tobe assignedtowhichev-
erdepartmentismostinneedinthefu-

For Ngolo, whowas doingfinancial-
related work at Sallie Mae when the
Schott opportunity arose, the chance
at a career he could see himself in for
the rest of his life left himat a loss for

In this valley, there are not many

ship paths Schott offers.
Schott accomplished both goals. Of the
nine apprentices brought on, all are from
Luzerne County and three are veterans.
Martin said the company will use what
it learns in Duryea to establish programs
at its four other Schott facilities in the
U.S., including a plant in Lebanon early
next year.
Securing the future success of Schotts
U.S. businesses played a big role in bring-
ing the program stateside.
Sandra Herman, Schotts assistant
manager for human resources at its Du-
ryea site, said a pending tidal wave of like-
ly retirements is what really started the
company down this path at this time
stateside.
Of the Duryea complexs approximate-
ly 260 employees who have an average
of 30 years of service Herman estimated
30 percent will retire inthe next five years
and 60 percent will be gone in a decade.
Somebody whos workedhere 20 years
is really a junior employee, Herman
joked.
Of the nine apprentices selected, Her-
man admitted that none would have been
hired had they applied to a job posting.
But thats not a knock on the nine, its
more anindicationof the lackof high-tech
job skills being taught in the region.
A lot of the schools, a lot of the pro-
grams have been eliminated, Herman
said. Theres not many people going into
manufacturing training.
Withinthe past twoyears 30 employees
have been hired, though only a third are
from this area.
Most local people dont even apply be-
cause they dont have the knowledge or
skills were looking for, Herman said.
Christine Jensen, director of the Ca-
reerLink office in Wilkes-Barre, had high
praise for the programandsaidshe hoped
other local companies would follow
Schotts lead.
Its really forward thinking and proac-
tive and companies should be doing more
of this, although we should also be edu-
cating our students at a very young age
about the need to learn some of these
skills, Jensen said.
The Schott site in Duryea is a union
shop and Herman said the UFCW Local
1776 agreed to the apprenticeship pro-
gram, though the apprentices will not be
unionized. Herman said the union realiz-
es their ranks will be depleted soon and
they need to start thinking about their fu-
ture, too.
Many high school and college gradu-
ates are struggling to find a good job with
a living wage, said Martin. Too many
are caught in the Catch-22 that is often
thehiringprocess; tofindwork, theyneed
experience, but they can only gain experi-
ence from working. Schotts apprentice-
ship program slices through this contra-
diction and offers nine trainees an oppor-
tunity to learn a valuable trade while
working full time with benefits. At the
same time, Schott gains a newgeneration
of skilled workers to build on our 125
years of producing the worlds top glasses
and materials, and advanced technolo-
gies.

Glassmaker John Orluk, right, describes

cubes used in laser rangefinding to
apprentices during their first week of
orientation.
Samsung, with whom Apple is
engaged in a patent war, to Tai-
wan Semiconductor Manufac-
turing, which industry insiders
here believe will happen soon.
Apples supply networkis per-
haps the most sophisticated in
the world, said Creative Strate-
gies President Tim Bajarin.
Many people have heard of
Taiwan-based Foxconn, whose
factories across China employ
more than a million workers to
assemble everything from Mac-
Books to iPads. But it is off-the-
radar-screen companies like Ta
Liang that Apple consistently re-
lies onto figure out hard-to-solve
production problems on tight
deadlines. Acontract with Apple
can send a suppliers stock share
soaring or even represent
most of its revenue.
But working with Apple is not
easy. Its engineers are uncom-
promising, and it imposes a code
of silence enforcedwithfinancial
penalties for product leaks. And
its history of cutting suppliers in
a heartbeat helps create a love-
hate relationship between Ap-
ple and the companies that build
its products, said Stephen Su,
general director of Taiwans In-
dustrial Technology Research
Institute, who used to work for a
company that supplies camera
modules for iPhones, iPads and
MacBooks.
Apple does not co-invest in a
newtechnology with a supplier,
he said. And they are not pa-
tient. Can you do it? If not, I will
go to another supplier.
Accordingtoa report Apple re-
leased earlier this year, the com-
pany relies on 156 official prod-
uct and components suppliers,
about a third of which are based
in Taiwan. But the report doesnt
include companies like Ta Liang
Technology, whichsays about 20
percent of its business is derived
from building sophisticated fac-
tory machines that produce Ap-
ple products. Nor does it include
TeamChem, a 17-employee star-
tup also in Bade that makes
chemical coatings for circuit
boards for Foxconn.
We are just a tiny screwin the
machine, said Todd Yeh, Team-
Chem chairman.
But the small screw remains
on Apples radar screen. An Ap-
ple engineer called to inquire
about TeamChems new conduc-
tive adhesive technology that,
amongother things, wouldallow
chips to be mounted directly on
an iPhone circuit board, elimi-
nating the need for tiny sockets.
This would lower manufactur-
ing costs, increase the speed at
which the devices roll off as-
sembly lines and allow them to
be even thinner. The adhesive,
which has yet to be mass-pro-
duced, could also be used on
flexible circuit boards for future
devices with flexible panels.
As long as Apple remains on
top, companies will dojust about
anythingtoworkwithit, Susaid.
He recalled traveling to Cali-
fornia a few years ago to make a
product proposal. He arrived at
San Francisco International Air-
port from Taipei in the after-
noon, drove to Apples campus
for a one-hour meeting, then re-
turned to the airport for a mid-
night flight back to Taiwan a
common practice among suppli-
ers.
Apples willingness to cut sup-
pliers looseonamoments notice
could ultimately damage the
companys global supply chain
should it lose its competitive
edge, Su said. If that were to hap-
pen, many suppliers might first
line up behind other companies
with whom they have enjoyed
long-term relationships, poten-
tially making it more difficult for
Apple to find partners, he said.
For now, though, Apple calls
the shots. And suppliers willing-
ly follow.

COMEBACK
A ghost of Christmas past is trying for a comeback: Hasbro (HAS) is
once again selling the Furby toy this holiday season. The bird-like
gizmo was one of the original must-have toys in 1998, and financial
analysts say it will likely be
a hit again.
But that wont be
enough for Hasbro to be
this seasons winner, says
Sterne Agee analyst
Margaret Whitfield. She
says Mattel (MAT) has
more potential winners,
including a new line of
Barbie construction toys.
Revenue for both
companies was weaker in
the first six months of 2012
than in the first half of
2011.
TIS THE SEASON
Its the most wonderful time of the year for investors. The fourth
quarter has traditionally been the best for stocks not only in the
U.S. but emerging markets as well, according to S&P Capital IQ.
The S&P 500 has had an
average monthly return of
0.8 percent in the fourth
quarter, going back to
1900. That compares with
an average of 0.5 percent
in the other three quar-
ters. Emerging market
stocks dont have as long
a track record, but the
MSCI Emerging Markets
index has been even bet-
ter. It has had a 1.9 per-
cent monthly average re-
turn during the fourth
quarter since 1988.

October has historically been a decent month for stocks, with
an average gain of 0.4 percent over the last 84 years. But
when the market has a
bad day during October,
it can be really bad.
Five of the 10 worst
days in the history of
the Standard & Poors
500 index have come
during October. The
headliner is Black Mon-
day, when the index
plunged 20.5 percent
on Oct. 19, 1987. More
recently, the index fell 9
percent four years ago

Title: President of Causeway
Capital Management
What he suggests: Stocks are
better buys than bonds
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
Harry Hartford
Surging stock prices can make
value investors nervous. They
like to buy stocks when theyre
cheap, and an ebullient market
makes good buys tougher to find.
But Harry Hartford says they still
exist, even though markets around
the world have jumped 20 percent
over the last 12 months. His firm
manages $16 billion in assets,
and its flagship mutual fund is the
Causeway International Value fund
(CIVVX), which has Morningstars
gold rating. Its biggest holding is
British American Tobacco.
Are you surprised stocks have
done so well given the long list
of worries, from the U.S. fiscal
cliff to Europes debt crisis to
Chinas slowing growth?
All of these things are out there,
yet the S&P 500 on a total-return
basis is at an all-time high. To
me, the primary reason why that
is the case is that equities arent
expensive.
Still, even after the run up?
Still. In aggregate, U.S. stocks
are trading at 12 or 13 times their
earnings. Non-U.S. developed
market stocks are on 10 or 11
times earnings. Thats not an
overly demanding valuation.
Even if you dont believe
earnings will keep growing?
Even if you dont believe the
earnings. In the case of non-U.S.
stocks, lets assume earnings fall
by 30 percent. That would put
them at 13 or 14 times earnings.
That would still only be at the
average over the last 20 years.
In addition to that, as an inves-
tor, the thing that worries me most
is when investors are complacent.
When investors are complacent,
theyre going to misprice risk.
Its the mispricing of that risk
that creates the problem. Today,
investors are nervous. If investors
are pricing risk correctly, then the
risk of a bubble is much reduced.
Some say a bubble is forming
in dividend stocks, because
investors are scrambling for
yield amid low interest rates.
Stocks in the United States that
investors have gravitated toward
as a substitute for bonds, they are
expensive relative to their history.
But its less so overseas, nowhere
near the shift that has occurred
here.
Why is that?
If you take the Anglo Saxon world
out of the equation, stock as an
asset class is actually quite small.
Germany is less than 5 percent
of the world developed markets
by market capitalization. France
is about 5 percent in market cap.
Together, theyre about half the
size of the U.S. population, yet
the U.S. is about 45 percent of
the worlds market value.
So theres a less developed
equity culture outside the U.S. So
when a U.S. investor sees that
their yield on the 10-year Treasury
is fading below 2 percent, theyre
willing to buy an asset that is
deemed to be higher risk in the
form of an equity. That is less
developed overseas.

Big value funds
small
In a quest to find the next Apple, many investors
are drawn to the stocks of young and small, but
fast-growing, companies.
But theres another group of small-cap
stocks to consider: value stocks.
Theyre not as sexy but have
provided the best long-term returns.
Noted finance professors
Eugene Fama and Kenneth French
define value stocks as those with
low stock prices relative to their
book value, which is how much
accountants estimate the company is
worth. Their research shows that
smaller stocks have historically offered
better long-term returns than bigger stocks,
and value stocks have outperformed growth
stocks. From 1927 through 2011, small-cap
value stocks had an annualized return of
13.5 percent, versus 9 percent for large-cap
growth stocks.
That phenomenon is echoed in mutual fund
returns. Small-cap value stock funds have posted an
average annual return of 10 percent over the last
decade. Thats better than any large-cap, mid-cap or
other category of value-stock fund.
One possible reason for the outperfor-
mance points to risk. Small companies
can be riskier than large ones
because they have less access to
financing and less diverse customer
bases. So when problems arise,
they may struggle more.
Value stocks, meanwhile, are
often inexpensive because they
are out of favor with investors. That
could be because they have
substantial debt or are trying to turn
around their operations.
That means investors are rewarded
with higher long-term returns in
exchange for taking on more risk. So
its key to think long-term. Last year, for
example, small-cap value stock funds lost an
average 4.5 percent, compared with a return of 2.1
percent for the Standard & Poors 500 index.
Target Small Capitalization Value (TASVX) 31.4% 3.1% 12.3% 0.71%

SINCE 2007
PEAK COMPANY
52-WEEK
Its been a tough five years
for the Standard & Poors 500.
On Oct. 9, 2007, the index
closed at a record high amid
hopes that the economic
expansion that began in 2001
would keep going. It fell the
next day and proceeded to
plunge 57 percent through the
financial crisis before
bottoming in March 2009. The
index has recovered since
then, although it is still 7
percent below its record high.
But that masks a dichotomy
within the index: Nearly half of
the stocks in the S&P 500,
237 of them, are already
above where they were on
Oct. 9, 2007.
This screen shows the
stocks that have climbed the
most in the last five years.
Priceline.com is No. 1, and its
stock is up more than sixfold
from $92.82. Its revenue has
grown by at least 24 percent
each year since 2007.
Several of the other stocks
help customers find bargains
such as Ross Stores, TJX and
Dollar Tree. AutoZone has
benefited as drivers keep their
cars longer.

Mortgage rates fall again
The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell
to a record low for the second straight week,
down to 3.36 percent from 3.4 percent. Mortgage
rates, though, may tick up again. They tend to fol-
low the direction of the yield on the 10-year Trea-
sury note, and an encouraging jobs report on Fri-
day sent it back above 1.7 percent for the first
time in nearly two weeks.

W
hen you vote for Democrat Barack
Obama or Republican Mitt Romney in
November, youll be voting for more
than a president. Youll be casting a
ballot for and against a checklist of
policies that touch your life and shape the country you
live in.
It can be hard to see, through the fog of negative ads,
sound bite zingers and assorted other campaign nas-
ties, that the election is a contest of actual ideas. But it
is always so. A candidates words connect to deeds in
office.
Roll back to 2008. Obama was the presidential candi-
date who promised to get the country on a path to
health insurance for all. He delivered. If you havent
noticed one way or another, soon you will.
And back to 2000. George W. Bush ran on a platform
of big tax cuts. Thats precisely what the country got. A
decade later, taxes are lower than they otherwise
would have been.
Thats not to say you can count on Romneys check-
list or Obamas to come into full being. You sure cant.
By nature and necessity, the presidency is in large
part a creature of compromise and improvisation. The
unforeseen happens (the terrorist attacks), or circum-
stances change (the December 2007-June 2009 reces-
sion), or things that the candidate sets out to do run
into a buzz saw in Congress (way too many examples
to mention). Thats why promises are broken, prior-
ities shift and intentions get swept away by the fistful.
Even so, you get what you vote for, probably about as
often as not. And a lot of what you get, you will feel in
a personal way, for better or worse, no matter how
distant Washington seems from your world.
The wars called away people in your orbit, if not in
your family. The spending that each candidate wants
to do Romney vows military expansion, Obama
would put more into education, for starters is
bound to benefit many livelihoods in some fashion, at
the risk of even deeper national debt. And read their
fine print: Medicare wont be the same in the years
ahead. Perhaps not Social Security, either. (Theres
that national debt, after all.)
Across the spectrum of issues, Obama and Romney
have drawn contrasts and telegraphed divergent ways
for the nation to go.
You cant believe everything you hear. But you can
believe enough to know that Tuesday, Nov. 6, is a true
day of decision.
In this series, Associated Press writers who cover
subjects at stake in the election look at the positions of
the candidates, the underlying issues and why it
matters.

ELECTION
ELECTION 2012:
WHY IT MATTERS
INSIDE: More issues, 2E
T
he stakes now are similar to
what caused the U.S. to
invade almost 11 years ago:
the threat of more al-Qaida attacks.
President Barack Obama says U.S.
forces must not leave until Afghan
forces can defend the country on
their own. Otherwise the Taliban
would regain power and al-Qaida
might again launch attacks from
there. Republican rival Romney
appears to share that view.
Whats often overlooked in the
al-Qaida returns scenario is an
answer to this question: Why, after
so many years of foreign help, are
the Afghans still not capable of
self-defense? And when will they be?
The official answer is by the end
of 2014, when the U.S. and its allies
plan to end their combat role. The
Afghans will be fully in charge, or so
it is hoped, and the war will be over,
at least for Americans.
AFGHANISTAN
T
he job market is brutal and the
economy weak. Nearly 13 mil-
lion Americans cant find work;
the unemployment rate has been
higher than 8 percent for more than
40 months. A divided Washington has
done little to ease the misery.
The economy didnt take off when
the recession ended in June 2009.
Growth has never been slower in the
three years after a downturn. The
human toll is staggering. Forty per-
cent of the jobless, 5 million people,
have been out of work six months or
more a national crisis, according
to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke. Wages arent keeping up
with inflation.
Obama wants to create jobs by
keeping taxes low for everybody but
the wealthiest and with public-works
spending, clean energy projects and
targeted tax breaks to businesses.
Romney proposes further cuts in tax
rates for all income levels; hed also
slash corporate rates, reduce regu-
lations and encourage oil production.
ECONOMY
T
he U.S. accuses China of flouting
trade rules and undervaluing its
currency to helps its exporters,
hurting American competitors and jobs.
But imposing tariffs could set off a
trade war and drive up prices for Amer-
ican consumers.
Tensions now have spread to the
automotive sector: The U.S. is seeking
international rulings against Chinese
subsidies for its auto and auto-parts
exports and against Chinese duties on
U.S. autos. Romney says hell get tough-
er on Chinas trade violations. Obama
has taken a variety of trade actions
against China, but on the currency
issue, he has opted to wait for econom-
ic forces to encourage Beijing to raise
values.
Cheap Chinese goods have benefited
American consumers and restrained
inflation. But those imports have hurt
American manufacturers. And many U.S.
companies outsource production to
China. One study estimated that be-
tween 2001 and 2010, 2.8 million U.S. jobs
were lost or displaced to China.
CHINA
G
un violence has been splayed
across front pages with alarm-
ing frequency lately: the
movie theater killings in Colorado, the
Sikh temple shootings in Wisconsin,
the gunfire outside the Empire State
Building and more. Guns are used in
two-thirds of homicides, according to
the FBI. But the murder rate is less
than half what it was two decades
ago.
Neither Obama nor Romney has had
much to say about guns during the
campaign. Obama hasnt pushed gun
control measures as president; Rom-
ney says new gun laws arent needed.
Its getting harder to argue that
stricter gun laws are needed when
violent crime has been decreasing
without them.
But the next president may well fill
at least one Supreme Court seat, and
the court is narrowly divided on gun
control. An Obama appointee could be
expected to be friendlier to gun
controls than would a Romney nomi-
nee.
GUNS
A
mericas health care system is
unsustainable. Its not one
problem, but three: cost,
quality and coverage. The U.S. has
world-class hospitals and doctors. But
it spends far more than other ad-
vanced countries and people arent
much healthier. And in an aging socie-
ty, theres no reliable system for
long-term care. Obamas expansion of
coverage for the uninsured hits high
gear in 2014. Obama keeps todays
Medicare while trying to slow costs.
He also extends Medicaid. Romney
would repeal Obamas health care law
but hasnt spelled out what hed do
instead. On Medicare, he favors the
option of a government payment to
help future retirees get private cov-
erage. The risk of expanding coverage:
Health costs consume a growing share
of the stressed economy. The risk of
not: Millions continue uninsured or
saddled with heavy coverage costs as
the population grows older.
HEALTH CARE
S
yrias conflict is the most vio-
lent to emerge from last years
Arab Spring. Activists say at
least 23,000 people have died over
the last 18 months. Obama wants
Syrian President Bashar Assad to
leave power. But he wont use U.S.
military force to make that happen.
Romney says "more assertive" U.S.
tactics are needed, without fully
spelling them out. The future of Arab
democracy could hinge on the crisis.
After dictatorships fell in Tunisia,
Egypt, Libya and Yemen, critics say
Assads government has resorted to
torture and mass killings to stay in
power. Its success would deny the U.S.
a major strategic victory. Assad long
has helped Iran aid Hamas and Hez-
bollah, destabilizing Lebanon while
threatening Israels security and U.S.
interests in the Middle East. But extre-
mists among the opposition, Assads
weapons of mass destruction and
worries about Israels border security
have policymakers wary about deeper
involvement.
SYRIA
T
he debate over banking rules
is, at its core, a dispute about
how to prevent another eco-
nomic cataclysm. The financial crisis
that peaked in 2008 touched off a
global economic slowdown. Four years
later, the recovery remains painfully
slow. After the crisis, Congress passed
a sprawling overhaul of banking rules
and oversight. The law gives regu-
lators new tools to shutter banks
without resorting to emergency bai-
louts. It restricts risky lending and
establishes a new agency to protect
consumers from misleading marketing
and other traps. The new rules also
boost companies costs, according to
Romney and many in the business
community. Romney believes the law
is prolonging the nations economic
agony by making it harder for compa-
nies to invest and grow. He has
pledged to repeal it. Obama fought for
and supports the law.
WALL ST. REGULATION
E
ducation ranks second only to
the economy in issues impor-
tant to Americans. Yet the U.S.
lags globally in educating its children.
And higher education costs are leav-
ing students saddled with debt or
unable to afford college at all. State
budget cuts have meant teacher
layoffs and larger class sizes. Colleges
have had to make do with less. It all
trickles down to the kids in the class-
room. Although Washington contrib-
utes a small fraction of education
money, it influences teacher quality,
accessibility and more. For example,
to be freed from provisions of the No
Child Left Behind law, states had to
develop federally approved reforms.
Romney wants more state and local
control over education. But he sup-
ports some of Obamas proposals,
notably charter schools and teacher
evaluations. So, look for them to be
there whoever wins the White House.
EDUCATION
LADYLIKE?
It is a telling choice
of word. Hearing it
used unironically, as
would-be Missouri
senator Todd Akin
did last month, one
almost feels as if
Amelia Earhart never flew a plane and
Sally Ride never rode a space shuttle.
As if Madame C.J. Walker never made
millions and Meg Whitman never
made CEO. As if Lisa Leslie never
dunked, Pat Benatar never rocked,
Oprah Winfrey never reigned, Hillary
Clinton never ran.
But that is, indeed, what the man
said. In a recent interview, he com-
plained that his opponent, U.S. Sen.
Claire McCaskill, was very aggressive
in debating him, unlike her 2006 race,
when she was much more ladylike.
Akin, last heard revealing the exist-
ence of a previously unknown mecha-
nism in the female body that shuts
down contraception in the event of
legitimate rape, might want to pen
himself a reminder to not talk about
women again, ever.
This latest gaffe is somewhat remi-
niscent of when Senate Majority Lead-
er Harry Reid was quoted as saying
candidate Barack Obama had the abil-
ity to switch off and on his Negro
dialect. While the observation was
true enough, we were still left to grap-
ple that bizarre choice of word. There
has not been a Negro in this country
since 1969, the year Reid turned 30.
How is it he failed, for 40 years, to get
the memo?
One wonders the same about Akin.
The issue is not dated terminology, per
se, but rather, the suspicion that it
reflects a dated worldview particular-
ly with Akin, given his belief in a rape-
resistant uterus.
But though he is the latest, he is
hardly the only man who has sought
recently to police the decorum of fe-
male lawmakers. Consider the 2011
email U.S. Rep. Allen West sent U.S.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz telling
her, you are not a lady and shall not
be accorded due respect from me.
And then theres then-Sen. Arlen Spec-
ters 2010 shot at Rep. Michele Bach-
mann during a radio interview: Ill
treat you like a lady. So act like one.
One struggles to imagine a male
lawmaker being chided to behave in a
gentlemanly fashion. The person doing
the chiding would be laughed into
oblivion and deservedly so the com-
plaint belongs to the era of handlebar
moustaches and high-wheeled bikes.
This is not to say that a man or
woman ought not strive to behave in
ways that reflect class, refinement and
manners.
But this is not about that. It is, rath-
er, about an arrogant, condescending
and paternalistic mindset that says a
woman cannot be tough, aggressive,
competitive, smart or feisty, that if she
embodies those traits, so prized in
men, she does so at the cost of her own
femininity.
In this construction, being a lady
has nothing to do with good home
training, and everything to do with
being properly deferential and submis-
sive in the presence of testosterone.
And yes, you might just want to chalk
all this up to a difference of values, to
say that Akin, West and Specter are
just old-fashioned guys having trouble
finding their way in a newfangled
world. But to do that is to give them a
pass they do not deserve. It is to tell a
little girl she must truncate the sprawl
and adventure of her personality, prune
it back until it fits into a small, dainty
box marked ladylike.
That would be a tragedy. And a
betrayal.
There is, frankly, a point at which
being old-fashioned becomes being
stubborn, denying unwelcome, un-
settling and self-evident change. These
fellows are well past that point and our
message to them ought to be simply
this:
If you want to govern in this century,
try living in it first.

efense spending: At its
core, the debate over
how much the U.S.
spends on defense gets down
to this: What is it that America
should be defending against?
There are plenty of potential
security threats on the horizon,
not to mention an unfinished
war in Afghanistan. The size
and shape of the defense bud-
get go a long way toward de-
termining whether the U.S. can
influence events abroad, pre-
vent new wars and be ready for
those it cant avoid. It also fuels
the domestic defense industry
in ways that affect the vitality
of communities large and small
across the country. Obama
wants more restraint in military
spending while Romney favors
expansion. Obama also wants
more focus on Asia-Pacific
security, reflecting Chinas
military modernization. But that
and other elements of military
strategy could come apart if
Washington doesnt find a way
to avoid automatic budget cuts
starting in January.
DEFENSE SPENDING
A
sea of red ink is con-
fronting the nation and
presidents to come.
The budget deficit - the short-
fall created when the govern-
ment spends more in a given
year than it collects - is on
track to top $1 trillion for the
fourth straight year. The gov-
ernment borrows about 40
cents for every dollar it spends.
The national debt is the total
amount the federal government
owes. Its risen to a shade over
$16 trillion. Obama has proposed
bringing deficits down by slow-
ing spending gradually, to avoid
suddenly tipping the economy
back into recession. Hed raise
taxes on households earning
more than $250,000 and im-
pose a surcharge of 30 percent
on those making more than $1
million. Romney would lower
deficits mostly through deep
spending cuts. But many of the
cuts hes pushing would be
partially negated by his propos-
als to lower top tax rates on
corporations and individuals.
DEBT
B
oth sides of the gay
marriage debate agree
on this much: The issue
defines what sort of nation
America will be. Half a dozen
states and the District of Co-
lumbia have made history by
legalizing it, but its prohibited
elsewhere, and 30 states have
placed bans in their constitu-
tions. Obama supports legal
recognition of same-sex mar-
riage, as a matter decided by
states. Romney says same-sex
marriage should be banned
with a constitutional amend-
ment. The debate divides the
public down the middle and
stirs up passion on both sides.
In November, four states have
gay-marriage measures on their
ballots. In Minnesota, the vote
is whether to ban gay marriage
in the state constitution. Voters
in Maine, Maryland and Wash-
ington state are voting on
whether to legalize gay mar-
riage. Thus far, foes of gay
marriage have prevailed in all
32 states where the issue reac-
hed the ballot.
GAY MARRIAGE
A
lmost every U.S. tax-
payer faces a signif-
icant tax increase next
year, unless Congress and the
White House agree on a plan to
extend a huge collection of tax
cuts expiring at the end of the
year. And theres a huge debate
over how to overhaul the tax
code to make it simpler, with
lower rates balanced by fewer
deductions. Obama wants to
extend Bush-era tax cuts again,
but only for individuals making
less than $200,000 and married
couples making less than
$250,000. Romney wants to
extend all those tax cuts and
enact new ones, dropping all
income tax rates by 20 percent.
Romney says he would pay for
that by eliminating or reducing
tax credits, deductions and
exemptions. But he wont say
which ones would go. Most
lawmakers want a simpler tax
code.

I think each process needs to be
clearly stated in advance. There
cant be secret hiring
procedures.
Linda McClosky Houck
The Luzerne County councilwoman and her colleagues are mulling the
possibility of allowing managers and department heads to customize
hiring processes as certain job openings arise. If so, council must first
vote to amend the countys personnel code.
YEARS AGO, when email
became the rage, I went to
my mother and encouraged
her to use it. It would cut
down on phone bills, I
pointed out.
No, she said.
But, Mom, its not hard.
No.
I sighed. Why not?
Because I want to hear your voice. I
want you to make the effort.
Needless to say, she never learned email.
She never even got a computer. Of the bil-
lion electronic messages I have received in
the last decade, not one, in the subject field,
has ever read, From Mother.
I bring this up in light of a recent Time
magazine piece that claims Americans ages
18-29 now send and receive around 88 text
messages a day, as opposed to 17 phone
calls in that same period of time.
Eighty-eight a day? Nearly 2,750 a
month?
This should surprise no one. The pre-
ferred form of communication is now a fast
type on a small device. Even email is con-
sidered archaic. And calling on the phone?
Well. Just try reaching a teenager these
days. You can call a cellphone 10 consec-
utive times. You can leave 10 consecutive
voice mails. No response.
But send a text to the same number ask-
ing, Where R U? and youll get a reply:
Right here. Why?
No one wants to talk anymore. I used to
fret about cellphones and flying. I figured by
the time we reached 2012, the inside of a
plane would sound like the inside of a high
school cafeteria. When I read that they were
developing cellphone use for international
travel, I had visions of flying from Detroit to
London in one long echo of YOULL NEV-
ER GUESS WHERE IM CALLING FROM!
I dont worry anymore. They can develop
whatever they want. Walk onto an airplane
now, and all you will see are people with
their heads down, fingers flying. They dont
make a peep. I cant scientifically prove this,
but I believe airplanes are actually quieter
than they were. No one talks to the person
next to him. No one bothers to ask, Busi-
ness or pleasure? People just put their
heads down and text, text, text.
So whats wrong with this, you ask? Was
it really so much better when teenagers sat
on the phone all day? Arent we being more
efficient? Isnt one form of communication
as good as the next?
No.
And I will tell you why.
Forget the fact that we are raising a na-
tion of short-cutters who think 143 is the
same as I love you and LOL is a substitute
for real laughter. (By the way, how do you
know the person is really LOL? Maybe they
are lying. Maybe they are stone-faced.)
Forget all that. Here is the real reason this
trend of 88 texts versus 17 phone calls and
rising is so disturbing: We are losing con-
tact. Losing human connections. And in
doing so, we are losing something precious.
I sat with my mother all this past week,
my mother who refused to learn how to
email. She is in a wheelchair now, unable to
speak due to a stroke. She half-smiles when
I make a joke, and every now and then she
tries to form a word when I ask her a ques-
tion.
Its hard. I miss the old days. But you
know what I miss the most?
Her voice.
Not her letters. Not a text. When some-
one is gone, honestly, will you ever mourn
their texts? She was so right on insisting I
call her all those years; we could tell by our
tones how we really felt, what was OK and
what was not. I am forever grateful for all
those hours of shared laughs, of impas-
sioned arguments and of a mothers most
encouraging phrase, Dont worry, every-
thing will be all right.
Her voice was distinct, melodic, full of
my earliest memories of life. It wasnt a
series of electronic letters. When we spoke,
only she could be on the other end of the
line. When you get a text, in theory, anyone
could be sending it. How would you even
know?
I feel sorry for the 18- to 29-year-olds, and
even sorrier for younger teens who almost
exclusively text their parents and siblings.
Too late, they are going to learn this simple
truth of life: The only thing worse than
missing a loved ones voice is to have barely
heard it at all.

COMMENTARY
M I T C H A L B O M
THOMAS Dartmouth
Rice was an acclaimed
actor in his day. A white
entertainer in the 1830s he
performed in several trav-
eling minstrel shows that
toured many of the 26
American states.
Rice developed his most popular charac-
ter in blackface to belittle black Amer-
icans and pander to the prejudice of his
audiences in pre-Civil War America. His
blackface buffoon was named Jim Crow.
So widely known and distasteful was
the Rice portrayal of his theatrical clown
that Jim Crow would come to describe a
carefully choreographed system of state
laws to, among other things, obstruct the
right of freed Americans to vote. Jim
Crow laws sprung up throughout the
Southern reconstructed states from
1870 to 1964 when the Civil Rights Act
and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 finally
were adopted.
The 15th Amendment to the Constitu-
tion, ratified in 1870, states, The right of
U.S. citizens to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any
State on account of race, color or previous
condition of servitude.
The 15th proved inconvenient for South-
ern whites hoping to recoup through Jim
Crow laws much of what was undone by
the 13th and 14th amendments abolishing
slavery and guaranteeing equal protection
under the law to every American.
They considered the right to vote estab-
lished by the 15th Amendment a minor
setback to be neutered by poll taxes, liter-
acy requirements and grandfather laws,
cleverly designed to disenfranchise black
Americans and many poor whites of non-
English descent.
A poll tax to vote in Georgia, equal to
$25 today, was upheld by the U.S. Su-
preme Court as late as 1937, which stated,
it was unrelated to any attempt to dis-
enfranchise.
Literacy tests were made impossible for
poor, uneducated Americans to navigate.
And all were enacted, in straight face, to
combat voter fraud.
These laws disenfranchised tens of
thousands of Americans while grandfather
statutes permitted some illiterate whites
to evade these obstructions if their father
or grandfather had voted prior to 1868
ratification of the 14th Amendment.
Legislation to disenfranchise voters is
the ultimate voter fraud and it is as old as
Jim Crow.
Following the incredibly close presi-
dential election of 2000 and anticipating
equally tight results in 2004, 08 and be-
yond, states seeming to have Republican
legislatures and Republican governors
with a pen began enacting restrictive state
voter laws and some, such as Pennsylva-
nia, even required voters to present a
photo ID to be allowed to vote.
Pennsylvania accomplished this feat in
May of this presidential-election year,
making it almost impossible for tens of
thousands of Pennsylvania voters espe-
cially the poor, elderly, students, the dis-
abled and others to clear that hurdle by
Nov. 6.
Supporters of the law (Act 18 of 2012)
that would disenfranchise so many Penn-
sylvania voters justified their actions, in
straight face, as necessary to combat voter
fraud.
As we know, however, of all the imagi-
native ways to perpetrate voter fraud,
showing up at the polls in person, pre-
tending you are someone youre not, isnt
one of them.
Stating the reason for erecting this vot-
er ID obstruction in the path of honest
Pennsylvanians, state House Majority
Leader Michael Turzai, R-Allegheny Coun-
ty, while touting his accomplishments
before a group of admirers in July, told us
on tape what we already knew: Voter ID,
which is going to allow Governor Romney
to win the state of Pennsylvania done.
The despicable intent of Act 18 is a stain
upon the commonwealth, and a state
judge last week appropriately issued an
injunction blocking its most onerous pro-
visions from taking effect this year.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder this year
opposed such attempts to disenfranchise
voters in his state. He vetoed legislation
that would have altered the states flexible
Voter ID law. Standing tall, Snyder issued
his veto on the Fourth of July.
Rick Snyder is the governor of Michi-
gan, home of Ferris State University and
the universitys Jim Crow Museum.
Intent behind voter photo ID law as old as Jim Crow

ITHOUT leaving
their riverside
town in rural Lu-
zerne County, res-
idents of Shickshinny can
again shop for cereal, tailgat-
ing snacks and everyday sta-
ples at a grocery store some-
thing they had been unable to
do for 13 months.
Dont dismiss this news as
trivial, something
having only to do
with foodstuffs for a
few people in the
boonies.
This is about peo-
ples resilience and
the power of com-
munity.
It reflects an on-
going story occur-
ring in West Pitt-
ston, Bloomsburg
and other Pennsyl-
vania places hard hit by the
flooding of September 2011,
where residents continue to
worktoreclaimsomethingthe
rushing water threatened to
take away: a sense of place.
Any strong community in
which people take pride and
want to live even those
small, unofficial communities
nestled inside dauntingly big
cities typically contains
many of the same elements: a
park, a place to pray, a post of-
fice, a bank, somewhere safe
for kids to play, a gathering
spot toswapgossipandunbur-
den souls, a school, some
shops, eateries and a place to
purchase food for stocking the
kitchen cabinet and refrigera-
tor.
Last year, Shickshinny prac-
tically lost it all.
The Five Mountain Market
on the boroughs main drag
its only market got
swamped, as did more than 25
other businesses. Residents,
many coping with damaged
houses, wondered whether
they could muster the energy
to recover and if those retail-
ers uponwhichthey depended
would come back.
Most businesses did. They
plunged in, betting that cus-
tomers would
return and re-
ward their risk-
taking.
As of Satur-
day morning
with the
planned open-
ing of a new
Thomas Mar-
ket in the refur-
bished Five
Mountain Plaza
another piece
of the puzzle snapped into
place.
Thomas Market co-owner
Chris Evans told a Times
Leader reporter last week:
Ive been in this business for
29 years now and Ive never
had a municipality or a group
of people so excited to have a
business come totheir townas
the people of Shickshinny.
The narrative emerging
from this and other Susque-
hanna River-bordering com-
munities is not unique.
Bloomsburg sopped up the
mess and again orchestrated
its fabulous fair. West Pittston
continues to power through,
too. Its an American tale, the
comeback story.
And the basic formula is
this: We become strongest
when we support one another,
when we think and act as
community.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
T
HE MITT ROMNEY
who shone in
Wednesday nights
debate was the mod-
erate Massachusetts gover-
nor, not the condescending
presidential candidate who
spent the past year pandering
to the far right. The Barack
Obama who phoned in a lack-
luster performance was the
policy wonk president steep-
ed in detail, not the fiery, elo-
quent campaigner who so in-
spired voters four years ago.
And to complete the bi-
zarre pastiche, the once-inci-
sive PBS newsman Jim Lehr-
er was a hapless bystander to
a debate he was supposed to
focus and control.
As a consequence, Romney
got a virtual pass on trying to
occupy every position at
once, from the Everyman
who feels the pain of the poor
to the Ayn Rand free marke-
teer bent on again deregulat-
ing the financial industry and
moving Medicare toward
vouchers.
Meanwhile, Obama paint-
ed himself into a defensive
corner. He let pass Romneys
claimthat he didnt workwith
Republicans, when in fact he
has bent too far to try to com-
promise with a party whose
publicly stated goal from day
one was to make him fail. He
flounderedinthe weeds of his
policies instead of driving
home his successful rescue of
the auto industry, the need to
educate the future workforce
and the urgency of investing
in America. No business ever
thrived by only cutting costs.
The president approached
this debate as if the audience
knew all about the issues.
Romney came in fresh, with
an eye toward captivating in-
dependents who are just now
tuning in. His was the smart
strategy. Now the president
has to play catch-up.

extends to professional admi-
ration for her outstanding
work in the prothonotary
office. She indeed has saved
the taxpayers many dollars.
She exhibited tireless efforts
regarding the storage of coun-
ty records and identified the
mismanagement of taxpayers
dollars in the case of the Little
Red Wagon payments. Her
efforts to modernize the proth-
onotarys office are just anoth-
er example of her skill and
dedication.
The decision has been cast
by the voters to eliminate the
prothonotarys office. I will
not contest the majority. The
home rule charter allowed for
the prothonotary to finish the
remainder of her term, which
expires December 2013. It
does not state that the protho-
notary shall be paid salary and
benefits to December 2013; it
states the office continues to
that date. What is the prob-
lem?
Is The Times Leader willing
to humiliate a person to save
less than $50,000? Embarrass
her into quitting, surrendering
salary and benefits?
Perhaps the problem lies
with county leadership. You
know, having the capability of
managing, and not only those
who agree with your every
whim. No question, Carolee is
outspoken and sometimes
demanding. You see, a posi-
tive leader recognizes the
strengths and assists the
weaknesses. Carolees educa-
tion and vast successful expe-
rience in the county should
have been utilized, not crit-
icized.
Bottom line: the extent of
humiliation over an issue
already decided by the electo-
rate and courts, would, in my
opinion, call for a public apol-
ogy by The Times Leader.
There are much bigger fish to
fry in this county and city.

Top taxpayers
beat it to Britain
W
hy are more than
200,000 rich, former U.S.
residents living in Lon-
don? Why do they make the
United Kingdom one of the
largest American communities
outside the United States?
The simple answer is be-
cause they can. Millions of
American expatriates have
created homes abroad to es-
cape America. We always
have been fortunate in the
United States that the high
wage earners pay so much of
our tax burden. Few of us take
the time to thank the rich for
taking the wrath of the IRS on
a continuing basis. Maybe it is
time we start.
Even our president regularly
insults rather than thanks
them. Many articles have been
written showing that the top 1
percent pay about 40 percent
of the taxes, and there are 46
percent of Americans who pay
no income taxes at all. So,
from my point of view, a lot of
people should be thanking a
lot of other people, rather
than complaining.
If you add the 75,000 pages
in the IRS tax code, plus the
Patriot Act and a few other
anti-privacy laws, there is a
new built-in disincentive for
big-money taxpayers in Amer-
ica to stick around and pay the
tax toll. Many high rollers in
the IRS books have had
enough of the IRS and the
oppressive America they en-
counter every day.
Personal taxes are paid
mostly by the successful. So,
because they can, the success-
ful are now snubbing their
noses, packing up and getting
out of the United States. The
same phenomenon that has
rich Californians leaving that
state in droves and heading
for Texas is occurring nation-
ally with our best taxpayers
off-shoring their lives and the
lives of their families to for-
eign countries.
It is not necessarily that
things are that bad right now
in the United States, as much
as what the successful see
coming in the future. The
government continues to
amass greater amounts of
power to do just about any-
thing it wants, even if its acts
are unconstitutional. So, the
rich fear they might become
big targets of a government
gone bad.
With Obamas class warfare
rhetoric, the most successful
Americans must fear more for
their safety as the president
agitates the people to look
upon the rich as a big prob-
lem.
If you and I were in such
circumstances, you and I also
would see the U.S. govern-
ment as the most dangerous
force on Earth. It would be
time to find a ticket on the
next outbound flight. Or ...
perhaps we can vote for peo-
ple who will end the hateful
rhetoric.

A
re you voting again for
President Obama? If so,
you already know the
man. Smart. Compassionate.
Dead-on serious, focused,
positive and forward-looking.
Gracious and kind. He is one
of us, and understands our
needs. This president de-
serves a second term.
Are you undecided? Please
review some of the things
Barack Obama has accom-
plished. He passed credit-card
reform, the Hate Crimes Pre-
vention Act, student-loan
reform, Wall Street reform and
middle-class tax cuts, repealed
dont ask, dont tell, helped
create millions of jobs, passed
equal pay for equal work,
ended the war in Iraq, raised
fuel efficiency standards, gave
new life to the U.S. auto indus-
try (and death to Osama bin
Laden) and fought for benefits
for veterans and their families.
And lets not forget Obama-
care, officially titled the Affor-
dable Care Act.
On May 3, The Wayne Inde-
pendent reported that through
the Affordable Care Act,
Wayne Memorial Hospital had
been awarded grants for ex-
pansion and improvement.
Other eligible medical facil-
ities across our nation also
will enjoy these grants.
Visit www.healthcare.gov/
law/timeline/index.html, and
see for yourself the many good
things that are proceeding, in
a timely order, for all Amer-
icans. You then will remember
this historic and important
decision by its rightful name

wont want it taken away.
I hope this information is
helpful. And I hope you love
our president as much as I do.

V I E W S
IT WAS the
biggest rout
since Agin-
court. If you
insist, since
the Carter-
Reagan de-
bate. With a
remarkable display of confi-
dence, knowledge and nerve,
Mitt Romney won the first 2012
presidential debate going away.
Romney didnt just demon-
strate authoritative command of
a myriad of domestic issues. He
was nervy about it, taking the
president on frontally, not just
relentlessly attacking, but an-
swering every charge leveled
against him with a three-point
rebuttal.
And he pulled off a tactical
coup by coming right out of the
box to undo millions of dollars
worth of negative ads that paint-
ed him, personally, as Gordon
Gekko rapacious vulture cap-
italist who doesnt just lay off
steelworkers but kills their
wives and, politically, as intent
on raising taxes on the middle
class while lowering them for
the rich.
The Romney campaign had
let these ads go largely unan-
swered. But a kill Romney
strategy can work only until
people get to see Romney them-
selves. On Wednesday night,
they did. Regarding the charac-
ter assassination, all Romney
really had to do was walk out
with no horns on his head.
Confident, smiling and non-
threatening, he didnt look like a
man who enjoys killing the
wives of laid-off steelworkers.
Not a very high bar, I admit.
But remember: Its President
Obama who set the bar. And
succeeded. Romney suffers from
unprecedentedly high negatives
(50 percent), the highest unfa-
vorability rating at this late date
for any challenger in the last
three decades.
As to the policy, Romney
finally got to explain to the 60
million Americans watching
that he intends to lower taxes
across the board, particularly for
the middle class. As for the rich,
he got to explain the difference
between lowering tax rates and
reducing tax payments. He
repeated at least twice that the
rich would continue to pay the
same percentage of the tax
burden, while lower rates would
spur economic growth.
His success in doing this
against a flummoxed Obama
does more than rally the conser-
vative base. It might affect wa-
verers disappointed 2008
Obama supporters waiting for a
reason to jump. They watch
Romney in this debate and ask:
Is this the clueless, selfish, out-
of-touch guy weve been hearing
about from the ads and from the
mainstream media?
And then they see Obama
detached, meandering, unsure.
Can this be the hip, cool guy his
acolytes and media have been
telling us about?
Obama was undone on
Wednesday in part by his dis-
missive arrogance. You could
see him thinking annoyedly:
Why do I have to be onstage
with this clod, when Ive gone
toe-to-toe with Putin?" (And lost
every round, Id say. But thats
not how Obama sees it.)
Obama never even pulled out
his best weapon, the 47 percent.
Not once. Thats called sitting
on a lead, lazily and smugly. I
wager he mentions it in the next
debate, more than once and
likely in his kickoff.
On the other hand, Obama
just isnt that good. Not without
a teleprompter.
By the end of the debate,
Obama looked small, uncertain.
It was Romney who had the
presidential look.
Re-election campaigns after a
failed presidential term so
failed that Obama barely even
bothers to make the case, prefer-
ring to blame everything on his
predecessor hinge almost
entirely on whether the chal-
lenger can meet the threshold of
acceptability. Romney crossed
the threshold Wednesday night.
Reagan won his election
(Carter was actually ahead at
the time) when he defused his
caricature as some wild, ex-
treme, warmongering cowboy.
In his debate with Carter, he
was affable, avuncular and rea-
sonable.
Romney had to show some-
thing a little different: That he is
not the clumsy, out-of-touch
plutocrat that the paid Obama
ads and the unpaid media have
portrayed him to be. He did,
decisively.
Thats why the polls show
that, by a margin of at least
two-to-one, voters overwhelm-
ingly gave the debate to Rom-
ney.
And he won big in an unusual
way. This could be the only
presidential debate ever won so
definitively in the absence of
some obvious and ruinous gaffe,
such as Gerald Fords there is
no Soviet domination of Eastern
Europe.
Romney by two touchdowns.
Its a Romney win

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Aimee Dilger
and words by Mark E. Jones
MITT Romney
appeared on
stage Wednes-
day night not
as the awk-
ward, gaffe-
prone neo-
conservative
that he was in the Republican
primary elections, but as the
articulate, Harvard moderate
and former Massachusetts
governor that he really is.
The Etch A Sketch trans-
formation that his campaign
manager had predicted came
to full bloom during the first
presidential debate, with Rom-
ney ditching the conservative
dogma that he had embraced
while courting the Teavangel-
ical right wing.
I thought I was watching a
show on evolution on the Sci-
ence Channel.
Well, maybe not evolution.
Teavangelicals dont believe
in evolution, right? They are
the zealots changing textbooks
in Texas and Louisiana that
dispute evolution and claim
that dinosaurs lived in co-
existence with humans. They
believe that the Earth is 5,000
years old instead of the age
claimed by scientists of 4.5
billion years.
Maybe Romneys transfor-
mation was more of a meta-
morphosis.
Right before our eyes, the
Mittster morphed from a con-
servative caterpillar who had
attacked 47 percent of us for
not taking responsibility for
our lives into a magnanimous,
moderate butterfly who cares
deeply about all the people
President Obama has put out
of work with his terrible econ-
omy.
Yes, Romney did make a
strong shift to the Mittle on
Wednesday. At this rate he will
be the reincarnation of Bobby
Kennedy by Election Day.
The makeover of Romney
was so dramatic that President
Obama looked liked he just
saw Freddy Krueger.
Gone from the new Romney
was all the rhetoric about be-
ing a very conservative gover-
nor and instead this new guy
showed up: a lover of teachers
who also endorsed the regu-
lation of business, a kind man
promising to give health care
to people with pre-existing
conditions, a frugal steward of
finance promising that he
would not cut taxes if it would
increase the deficit, a consum-
er advocate painting President
Obama as the protector of big
banks.
Claiming that Obama has
taken $716 billion from the
Medicare program, this new
Romney said with a stern jaw
and presidential bearing that
I will put the $716 billion
back in Medicare.
Romney denied that he ever
said that he would reduce
taxes 20 percent across the
board even though he had
been saying exactly that at
campaign stops for the past six
months.
Independent observers con-
clude that a 20 percent across-
the-board tax cut would cost
the Treasury $5 trillion over
the next 10 years, but Romney,
in true Ayn Rand fashion,
shrugged off that claim of
simple arithmetic like Atlas
with the world on his broad
shoulders.
It was quite a television
performance, resulting in
Romney being named the win-
ner of this weeks American
Idol.
By the next morning, liber-
als heads were exploding they
were so mad at President Oba-
ma for not litigating on his
own behalf. Obama didnt
mention that the economy has
had more than 30 consecutive
months of job creation since
the calamitous crash of the
world economy in 2009, that
the auto industry is booming
and that Romney was totally
misleading on most of his
claims.
And Republicans were glee-
ful because they were back in
the running after a few dismal
weeks maybe too gleeful. On
Thursday morning John Sunu-
nu, Romney surrogate and
former chief of staff for Presi-
dent George H.W. Bush, cross-
ed the line of dog whistledom
saying that Obama was lazy
and disengaged.
Republicans everywhere last
week renewed their ghastly
chant to take our country
back, as if people are too
stupid to know exactly what
they are saying.
A torrent of criticism faced
Obama on Thursday, especial-
ly for not challenging Romney
on a number of provable false-
hoods, such as the one that
Obama doubled the deficit.
The deficit in 2009 was $1.4
trillion. For fiscal year 2012,
which ended last week, the
deficit is expected to be $1.1
trillion just under the level in
the year he was inaugurated.
As an admirer of Obama, I
thought his performance was
lackluster, but Ill give him the
benefit of the doubt.
Perhaps Obama was allow-
ing the new Romney to emerge
from this new, general election
cocoon so he could see with
whom he is now dealing.

Yes, Romney did make a strong

Wednesday. At this rate he will
be the reincarnation of Bobby
Kennedy by Election Day.
AS THE presidential
campaign moves into
high gear, the quality
of our public schools
will be a topic of de-
bate. Some people
will point to interna-
tional comparisons to
argue that we need to eliminate teach-
ers unions and tenure, while privatiz-
ing our educational system with vouch-
ers, charter schools, cyber schools,
for-profit colleges and the like.
Comparisons of scores on the most
recent Program for International Stu-
dent Assessment do suggest that U.S.
students are in the middle of the pack
in reading and science, and below
average in math. However, because
many countries scores are so close, the
rankings are misleading. When analysis
techniques are applied, the United
States actually was tied for fifth place
worldwide. Scores on the National
Assessment of Educational Progress
show that U.S. students scores have
been increasing steadily.
If we compare apples to apples, our
schools are doing well. For example, in
schools with little poverty, Americas
students are number two in the world.
In schools where the majority of chil-
dren qualify for free or reduced lunches
like many school districts in North-
eastern Pennsylvania scores decline.
Countless studies demonstrate a link
between parents income and students
test scores. Since President Reagan
began the war on the poor, poverty in
America has increased. We have more
children in poverty (23.1 percent) than
all but one of the worlds 35 developed
nations, according to a recent UNICEF
study. Only Romania is in worse shape
(25.5 percent).
What have other countries done to
improve student outcomes? How did
Finlands students, for example, get to
the top of the international student
assessment rankings?
Finland began its turnaround after
the fall of the former Soviet Union. It
created an economic recovery plan
centered on school improvement. To
compete globally, the Finns thought
every child would need a very good
public school. To attract the best to
classrooms, its reforms required teach-
ers to earn a fifth-year masters degree
at one of eight state universities at
state expense. Those admitted are
selected from the top 10 percent of
college graduates, thus Finlands teach-
ers are seen as having status equal with
doctors and lawyers. With the changes,
top applicants flooded teaching pro-
grams.
The plan increased salaries teach-
ers with 15 years of experience make
more than college graduates in other
professions. In the United States,
teachers with similar experience make
only 62 percent of what other college
graduates earn. Finland also does not
offer merit pay.
Finlands plan worked, but even it
was surprised when its schools were
touted in last years Waiting for Super-
man movie, which panned public
education in the United States.
In Finland a socialized country
the educational system is nationalized
and the heads of the government agen-
cies that run it are educators, not busi-
ness people, military leaders, lawyers
or career politicians. With a national-
ized curriculum, every school focuses
on the same goals. Its curriculum con-
tains only guidelines, not trivia. Its
math goals take up only 10 pages.
Starting at age 9, all students study
another language (English is their
favorite). Finland has no government-
mandated standardized tests, except
for the one that is administered when
students turn 16. It has no district
rankings, comparisons or competition.
The government trusts its teachers and
principals.
Compulsory schooling does not
begin until age 7 and grouping by abil-
ity is not done. Since all schools draw
from the same pool of university-
trained educators, all children have an
equal opportunity at getting the same
quality education no matter where they
live. Finlands schools are publicly
funded, but it spends about 30 percent
less per student than our country. Its
educational resources are distributed
equally across districts and its saves
money by focusing only on what is
important. For example, it sponsors no
inter-scholastic athletics.
It does not retain kids. Homework is
minimal. The differences between its
weakest and strongest students are the
smallest in the world, according to
Resources for Life. Compulsory school-
ing ends at ninth grade when students
opt into academic high schools or trade
and technical schools. Both are highly
respected. College is free.
Finland has a powerful national
teachers union, and there has been no
move to bust it. Its teachers spend four
hours a day in their classrooms. They
use the time saved to cooperatively
build curricula, plan and assess stu-
dents. Its teachers monitor and support
each other.
There is almost no poverty in Fin-
land (less than 5 percent). Its children
do not show up to school hungry. It
provides three years of maternity leave,
and subsidized day care and preschool
for all 5-year-olds (97 percent attend),
which emphasize play and socializing
not academics. It subsidizes parents,
paying them a sum each month for
every child until he or she turns 17. Its
schools provide free food, medical care,
counseling and taxi service, if needed.
Health care for students is free.
Finlands children spend far more
time playing outside, even in the frigid
winter. Unlike students in the United
States, they watch hardly any televi-
sion.
Surely we can improve our own
schools, but probably not by doing the
opposite of what our competitors are
doing. For sure, we cannot improve by
disrespecting our teachers or degrad-
ing science and social studies curricu-
lum while ignoring the arts. We cannot
improve by slashing budgets and bene-
fits, disrespecting unions, eliminating
teachers (300,000 so far for the 2012-13
school year in the United States), and
replacing quality control with tests.
If our students, teachers and educa-
tional system are going to be compared
to Finlands system, maybe we should
follow its lead and implement some of
the Finns ideas.
If we want to see our schools fare better, we should look to Finland

CAFE rules could
cost consumers
T
he article New fuel econo-
my rules to double effi-
ciency to 54.5 mpg by
2025, which refers to the gov-
ernments boosting of CAFE
standards, suggests motorists
might save money at the pump;
but these standards might cost
us more than we anticipated.
The manufacturers cost to
comply: roughly $3,000. This
could prevent millions of po-
tential customers from qualify-
ing for car loans. No car no
gas no environmental benefit
no business for the auto in-
dustry.
Hybrids and electric vehicles
will show up on dealer lots
despite little interest from
consumers. Manufacturers, in a
push to sell, will likely offer
higher rebates on the hybrids
and EVs. The result: The cur-
rent lower-priced, best-selling,
fuel-efficient, 40-mpg, gas-
powered vehicle will end up
costing consumers more. Like
it or not!
Completely electric? Im not
the only one not sold on this.
GM closed its plant for five
weeks due to lack of sales of its
Chevy Volt. No consumer de-
mand, yet hundreds of thou-
sands invested.
And the worst part of it:
Manufacturers will need to
make cars thinner, lighter and
more compact, with more
plastic and less steel, trading
safety for lower mpg. The cost
of repairs will undoubtedly lead
to increased insurance rates.
Governments goal of getting
gas guzzlers off the road could
end up forcing people to keep
what they have. I predict no
sales and/or less gas buying,
generating billions less in fed-
eral gas-tax revenue through
2025. This we cant afford.

Plot: When U.S. Navy SEAL
Robert OLeary is kicked out of
the service, he vacations in Thai-
land and finds himself declaring
war on some of the natives. He
falls in love with a disfigured
woman named Mina, whom he
sees as his last shot at redemp-
tion in a horribly broken life.
Additional books: The second
in this three-part series, Jai
Dee, will come out this month.
Q: You have no prior experi-

ence as a writer. What made you
want to write a book?
A: I have a Kindle, and when I
readstories onit that I like I leave
a positive comment on the book.
One of the authors replied to my
post, and we got to know each
other. He eventually told me he
wanted to write a sequel to his
book but didnt know where to
start, so for laughs I wrote two
paragraphs and sent it to himand
he said to me, You need to write
a book of your own, so I did.
Q: What was the writing proc-
ess like for you?
A: Well, a title actually popped
into my head and I started to
thinkabout a storytofit that title.
Its backwards, I know.
Q: This book takes place in
Thailand. How are you so famil-
iar with the culture?
A: Ive been there seven times,
and my wife and stepdaughter
are Thai. Theyre a very humble
people. Their motto is land of
the smiles, and it fits because
they smile all the time. One thing
I learned, though, is that the
smile is also a damn good poker
face. Theyll grin at you but be
thinking the worst thoughts be-
cause you just committed a taboo
act or put your nose where it
didnt belong. Thats one thing
about Thailand: Youve got to
mind your own business, espe-
cially if youre a foreigner.
Q: Youwereinthemilitary, and
so is your lead character
A: My years in the U.S. Navy
were the most valuable of my life.
Thats the first time I ever felt
proud to be me, when I was at
boot camp. One thing Imgood at
is history, and I can run like a
deer; when you get chased every
day you learn how to run.
Q: Is the character Robert like
you in any way besides a military
background?
A: His childhood is mine, for
the most part.

reels the story of six Americans in 1970s
Tehran who escaped an assault on the
American embassy by fleeing to the
home of the Canadian ambassador.
The Americans spent three long, scary
months waitingfor someonetofigureout
howtorescuethem. Enter TonyMendez,
a CIA exfiltration expert who master-
minded a plan to pose as the Canadian
producer of a B-movie
called Argo. After us-
ing the movie to get
himself inside Iran,
Mendez attempted to
sneak out the Ameri-
cans bypretendingthey
were part of his crew.
When Affleck was
handed Chris Terrios
script about the little-
known incident, he
flippedfor it. He not on-
ly wanted to direct but
alsowantedtocast him-
self as Mendez.
But first he had to
convince producers
Grant Heslov and Ge-
orge Clooney as well as
the suits at Warner
Bros. that he was the
man for the job.
In college, Affleck
majoredinMiddleEast-
ern studies. He never
graduated, but he de-
cided to use his back-
ground as leverage.
IvealwaysbeeninterestedintheMiddle
East, andIvealways followedit, Affleck,
40, says. So when this came along, I was
instantly saying, I have a Ph.D. inMiddle
Eastern Studies.
Affleck laughs.
I made up all kinds of bulls--t.
Thanks to his smooth talking, Affleck
got the job. And if the reviews are any in-
dication, he aced the assignment. When
Argo premieredat therecentlyconclud-
ed Toronto Film Festival, it netted rave
notices from critics, including Roger Eb-
ert who predicted it would be the movie
to beat for this years Best Picture Oscar.
Affleck is just happy he got the chance
to direct a film that combines suspense
andHollywoodsatireinoneuniquepack-
age. The truth is that Warner Brothers
tookachanceonmetomakeamoviethat
was veryunconventional, that hadalot of
elements that could trip you up, that
would be a challenge to sell.
Indeed, after a speedy trip to the top of
the Hollywood mountain courtesy of his
Oscar-winning screenplay for Good Will
Hunting (which he wrote with best pal
Matt Damon), Affleck spent a few years
anchoring popcorn fare such as Pearl
Harbor and The Sumof All Fears.
Then came a period in the early 2000s
when he seemingly made one bad career
Ben Affleck

dream job
with Argo
Film, based on a true story from the
1970s, is actors third directing gig.

The truth is
that Warner
Brothers took
a chance on
me to make a
movie that
was very
unconvention-
al, that had a
lot of ele-
ments that
could trip you
up, that would
be a challenge
to sell.
L
ots of little girls like to hold an
imaginary microphone while they
sing and dance around the house.
Candice Nicole went a step fur-
ther when she was about 7 and
crafted a creative costume.
I probably wrapped a towel around my
legs and pretended it was a fin,
said the singer, who was a great
admirer of Ariel, the fairy-tale
swimmer who longed to walk
on land.
Twenty years later, Nicole is
living her dream, singing lyrics
from Disneys The Little Mer-
maid as well as Beauty and
the Beast and other songs in
conjunction with three other
singers and backed by orches-
tras from Melbourne to Dublin
to Northeastern Pennsylvania.
On Saturday evening in
Wilkes-Barre and on the after-
noon of Oct. 15 in Scranton, she
and her fellow vocalists Whit-
ney Claire Kaufman, Andrew
Johnson and Aaron Phillips will be guest per-
formers with the Northeastern Pennsylvania
Philharmonic for Disney in Concert: Mag-
ical Music from the Movies.
Images fromthe movies will be shown on a
screen while the singers and orchestra pre-
sent music from such shows as Mary Pop-
pins, The LionKing, Aladdin, Pirates of
the Caribbean, and Hunchback of Notre
Dame.
My biggest hope is for the audience to
leave with a big smile on their face and go
home to watch their favorite Disney movies
again, saidKaufman, who sings the words of
Pocahontas and Simba at dif-
ferent points in the show.
It doesnt matter how old
you are, Kaufman and Nicole
said, predicting Disney tunes
will evoke happy nostalgia for
parents and grandparents and
be a good introduction to sym-
phony music for the youngest
generation.
I think theres something
about it that renews a child-
like spirit in the grown-ups,
Kaufman said, and if they
bring young children, they can
share in their feeling of won-
der.
Adding to the enchantment,
Philharmonic spokesman
Steve Parulski said, the orchestra encourages
patrons andtheir childrentodress upas their
favorite Disney characters and take part in a
parade across the stage during the Scranton
performance.
Audience sing-alongs are planned for both
concerts.

Puzzle Answers

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You are the one who
places a value on your
thoughts, deciding which
ones deserve credence
and action. Because you
place a low value on nega-
tive and scary thoughts,
you easily rise above
them.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Sometimes you want
something, but you forget
to follow up with the ask.
Make a conscious effort
to ask today, because you
are as powerful as you
are direct. Your specific
requests will quickly be
answered.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Theres a bit of fun brew-
ing in your imagination.
You will weave together
your many interests into
a single project. You will
need to pull from your
wide variety of skills to
make a project work.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You are sincere and hon-
est and real. Remembering
your excellent qualities
will help you gain the
confidence you need to
be stronger. Youll get
an insight about some-
thing that has been
bothering you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If
you seek to expand your
circle, it will be as though
the barriers between you
and those you dont know
melt away. Youll feel as
relaxed and easy-going
around strangers as you
do around your nearest
and dearest.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Maybe you still dont feel
entirely secure about your
future, but you know that
whatever happens, youre
just the type of person to
find happiness while mak-
ing the most of what you
have.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You are powerful because
you accept yourself fully
and feel good about your
weaknesses as well as
your strengths. You can be
happy about who you are
even as you work toward
improvement.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You respect yourself
and others, and you take
responsibility for your
actions. With these prin-
ciples guiding your day,
youll live honorably and
enjoy much.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You may not dare to
speak of gigantic goals,
afraid that theyll ring
ridiculous in your ears. But
keep thinking about them.
Mull over your dreams
long enough, and they will
start to enter the realm of
possibility.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Change is positive, as
long as your values stay
the same. Like a child
growing into an adult, you
wont change into some-
one youre not. You will
fulfill the potential of who
you always were.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Youll be in a creative
mood, and youll want
to explore new ways of
putting things together.
Make notes as you go.
Later, youll pass them on.
Always share knowledge;
your immortality depends
on it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Because you are so glori-
ously empathetic, you
assume its easy for any-
one to put themselves in
the shoes of another. Not
so. Your gift is rare. Set an
example for others, and
eventually they may
follow.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Oct.
7). Your playful attitude
invites good fortune and
affection this month.
A financial transaction
makes your life easier in
November. In December,
youll frequently be a
host. 2013 opens with a
pervasive sense of calm.
You become powerful as
things slow down, and you
enjoy life for what it is
while plotting what could
be. Aquarius and Taurus
people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 7, 3, 19,
35 and 29.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles,
CA 90069

DEAR ABBY
Addiction to prescribed
pills is still an addiction
Dear Abby:
My Aunt
Betty, with
whom I have
always been
close, is 68
and retired.
She is abusing prescription
drugs and spends several
days a week passed out or
confused sometimes hal-
lucinating. I rarely call her
anymore because all she
does is mumble and make
odd comments. Sometimes
she passes out on the phone.
My uncle is in denial. He
comes from a generation
where family problems are
kept within the family. He
refuses to seek professional
treatment for her or get her
into detox. Caring for Aunt
Betty is affecting his health,
but he refuses to budge.
Please dont tell me to
notify her doctor I already
tried. Aunt Betty is an ac-
complished manipulator and
doctor-shops until she finds
new doctors who load her
up when the old ones wont
cooperate. She does have
genuine health issues that re-
quire meds, but her doctors
have said she would never
be stoned if she used them
properly.
Confronting my aunt
when shes coherent only
makes her angry. She denies
shes abusing drugs because
they are all prescription.
My mom is dead and Im
worried about my aunt and
uncles health. Help!
Desperate Niece in Florida
Dear Desperate: Start call-
ing your aunt more often,
because addiction is an ill-
ness and denial is one of the
symptoms. Older people do
react differently to medica-
tions than younger ones do,
and a dose that might be
tolerated when someone is
middle-aged can be too great
for a senior.
Because your uncle isnt
able to insist that your aunt
get professional help, allow
me to offer a suggestion.
The next time she passes out
during one of your phone
conversations, do what youd
normally do if someone else
lost consciousness while
talking to you. Call 911.
When she winds up in the
emergency room, her doc-
tor will be alerted about the
overdose. It would be a first
step in seeing her get the
help she needs.
P.S. Theres a common
misconception among older
people that because a drug is
prescription its somehow
not addictive. And your aunt
isnt the first person to fall
into this trap.
Dear Abby: Our wedding
plans have taken a sudden
turn. My fiancee, Carolyn,
has a wealthy father with a
reputation for being an ex-
treme tightwad. Carolyn was
profoundly touched when he
offered to pay for most of the
wedding expenses.
Last night, Carolyns
mother confessed to us
that Carolyns father is not
paying for the wedding. He
is deducting the expenses
from Carolyns inheritance
from her grandmother. (The
father is executor of her
grandmothers estate.) He
has no idea that his wife told
Carolyn, and were sworn to
secrecy because she will get
into deep, deep trouble if
he finds out she told.
To make matters worse,
he has the gall to make de-
mands about the wedding
as if he was paying for it
himself.
Carolyn is so deeply hurt
by this deception that she
doesnt even want her par-
ents to attend the wedding.
All of the joy has gone out of
the wedding for her and
therefore, for me as well.
Abby, how do you think
we should handle this?

move after another. See bombs
such as Gigli, Man About
Town and Surviving Christ-
mas. And his increasingly color-
ful personal life included starring
in videos for gal pal Jennifer Lo-
pez. Affleck became, in the words
of Vanity Fair, a national punch-
ing bag.
But he had a comeback strate-
gy. Around the same time he mar-
riedactress Jennifer Garner (with
whom he has three children), he
pulled himself out of his career
slump by putting himself behind
the camera.
First came Gone Baby Gone,
which he co-wrote and directed.
Affleck cast his brother Casey in
the starring role and shot the mo-
vie for a mere $19 million in his
home turf of Boston. The filmgot
solid reviews and did well enough
at the box office so he was able to
direct The Town, his second
Boston-set feature.
Argoisarguablythebest of Af-
flecks directorial efforts, but he
refuses totake muchcredit, point-
ing to supporting players such as
Breaking Bads Bryan Cranston,
John Goodman, Alan Arkin and
Rory Cochrane.
While crafting the film, Affleck
is the first to admit he took some
liberties with the facts. He com-
pressedeventsandmadethemain
action a footnote tothe Iranhos-
tage crisis, which lasted 444 days
much easier to follow.
Theres a clear divide between
documentaries, where youexpect
a stricter adherence to facts and
truth and history, and to our mo-
vie where we say, Based on a true
story.
In fact, because we say, Based
on and I learned this from the
lawyers rather than This is a
true story, its understood that
were allowed to take some dra-
matic license. But we got really
lucky because most of what really
happened is extremely compell-
ing, andthecharacters wereall ve-
ry interesting.
In at least one department, Af-
fleck was determined that not a
hair, so to speak, would be out of
place. While figuring out how as-
sortedmembersof thecast should
look, Affleck went for full-on 70s-
era shag haircuts and bushy mus-
taches.
I had to grow out this kind of
like Davy Jones/Barry Gibb thing
that I hadonmyheadformonths,
Affleck says with a laugh. But ev-
erybody really went for it. There
was no vanity among the actors.
There was no, like, I have to look
good in the movie. Everybody
said, How much can I look like
the real people?
Afflecks attention to detail
didnt just win over the critics.
The real-life Tony Mendez en-
joyed the movie so much he turn-
ed up for its Toronto premiere.
We were going to the screen-
ing, and its the big, red-carpet
thing, Affleck says. I said, Tony,
all these people are here to watch
thestoryof your lifeandseeall the
things that you did. Whats that
like? He goes, Its good.
I was, like, All right. I guess
once a spy always a spy.

Q: He has a rough childhood, so Imassum-
ing yours was, too.
A: Growing up was embarrassing; my life
wasnt easy. I had a cleft palate so I was a tar-
get to begin with. Then add that my parents
were really hard on me It wasnt a good
childhood at all.
Q: The character of Mina very much shows
signs of someone whos been ridiculed for her
appearance. Did you use any of your experi-
ence for that character?
A: When I talk about howevery time some-
one looked at her, her shoulders slumped like
shed been slapped, thats how it feels. I defi-
nitely imparted some of how I felt into Mina.
To this day, everyone tells me I look fine, but
thats not what I see whenI look inthe mirror.
This is also true for Robert.
Q: You have a strong opinion about bully-
ing, then?
A: One of the things Imstrongly in support
of is the anti-bullying laws because Im a vic-
tim. I love when people say fight back. How
does a kid that weighs 119 pounds fight half
the football team? You just swallow it day af-
ter day, and you either turn into a bully your-
self or you take my route and decide youre
going to stick up for the underdog.

David Wong
wakes up with a
horrific spiderlike
creature biting his
leg that only he can
see. In This Book
Is Full of Spiders:
Seriously Dude, Dont Touch It, the
nightmare is just beginningfor Wong.
The story is told primarily from his
point of view, and its not clear right
away if what hes seeingis real or if its
inhis twistedimagination.
Wong is also listed as the author of
the book, and that adds an extra level
of madness to the proceedings. The
author is Jason Pargin, senior editor
and columnist for Cracked.com, a hu-
mor website. The comedic and crack-
ling dialogue also brings a whimsical
flairtothestory, makingitseemlikean
episodeofAMCsTheWalkingDead
written by Douglas Adams of The
Hitchhikers GuidetotheGalaxy.
ThenovelisasequeltoJohnDiesat
theEnd,butWongtellsreadersonthe
first page not to bother with the first
bookbecausea freshstart is better.
The spider that bites Wong contin-
uestoattackhim, andhesluckynot to
betakenoverbythisparasiticlikecrea-
ture. Acopshows upandends upcon-
sumed by the monster. Soon other
people in the town begin showing
signs of being controlled, and Wong
can see millions of the spiders every-
where. He asks his friend, John, and
his girlfriend, Amy, for help in stop-
pingthe madness. Mysterious portals
to the womens underwear section of
Wal-Mart, soy sauce and a strange
therapist addtothemix.
Imagine a mentally ill narrator de-
scribing the zombie apocalypse while
drunk, andtheendresult is unlikeany
other bookof thegenre.
Seriously, dude, touchit andreadit.

This Book Is Full of Spiders: Seriously
Dude, Dont Touch It (Thomas Dunne
Books), by David Wong
By JEFF AYERS
For The Associated Press
A
ndwethought weowed
Julia Child a word of
thanks for bringing
cremebruleeandchampagneto
American palates.
According to author Thomas J.
Craughwell and his meticulously
researched book, Thomas Jeffer-
sons Creme Brulee: How a Found-
ing Father and His Slave James
Hemings Introduced French Cui-
sine to America, it was Thomas
Jefferson in the 1780s who was re-
sponsible for such then-exotic de-
lights.
Craughwell weaves the surpris-
ing and little-known story of how
Jefferson promised and later grant-
ed freedom albeit belatedly
to Hemings inexchange for his cul-
inary training in France and chef
services at home inMonticello, Jef-
fersons plantation in Virginia. But
it also teaches us about 18th-centu-
ry American eating habits, an
equally fascinating subject to even
the most casual of foodies.
Despite the ocean, lakes and riv-
ers crowded with cod and bass,
clams and mussels, even lobster
none of this was deemed palatable
to the early colonial settlers. In-
stead, they boiled their meat and
game, overcooked their vegetables
and heavily sweetened their des-
serts.
Craughwell also illuminates Jef-
ferson, the farmer. He developed
more efficient ways to raise crops,
increase harvests and limit pests.
He tried endless varieties of fruits,
nuts and wines, and experimented
with European crops that he
thought might thrive in the U.S.,
including rice, which he smuggled
illegally out of Italy.
He also shares everything he
learned about Hemings, a slave 20
years Jeffersons junior, whoserved
as his chef for more than a decade
and whose sister, Sally, may have
been the mother of several of their
owners children.
And, remarkably, the book in-
cludes several of Hemings recipes
eight written in his own hand
have survived and nearly 150 oth-
ers were passed down by Jefferson
or his granddaughters. They in-
clude ice cream, macaroni and
cheese and, of course, creme bru-
lee.

A SPECIAL REAL ESTATE CLASSIFIED EDITION
FOR LUZERNE/LACKAWANNA COUNTY HOME BUYERS
SANFRANCISCOThe spot
where Jimmy Stewart saved Kim
Novak in Vertigo is at Fort
Point, just under the base of the
Golden Gate Bridge.
Afewmiles down the bay is Al-
catraz, where Nicolas Cage and
SeanConnerypreventedmissiles
from launching and Clint East-
woodmay or may not have escap-
ed. Up onshore, theres Coit Tow-
er, City Hall, the Transamerica
Pyramid, all those hills that have
been the setting for so many
chase scenes.
Filled with iconic landmarks,
breathtaking scenery and a wide
range of locations, San Francisco
has a long history as a favorite
site for filmmakers and the
movie buffs who want to see the
places where their favorite
scenes were filmed.
So many people are so famil-
iar with the icons, with the land-
marks of San Francisco, said
BryanRice, owner of SanFrancis-
co Movie Tours. You can show
the Golden Gate Bridge, you can
show the Transamerica Pyramid
in the background, show these
different places where people are
familiar with and it draws people
in.
The Bay Areas moviemaking
history goes back to the begin-
ning of film, to Eadweard Muy-
bridges study of a horse gallop-
ing in Palo Alto, widely regarded
as the first motion picture ever
made.
Charlie Chaplins movies and
many of the first silent films were
shot near San Francisco, along
with parts of The Jazz Singer,
the first talkie released in1927.
Alfred Hitchcock loved shoot-
inginthe Bay Area, as didGeorge
Lucas and Clint Eastwood.
Its easy to see why: The bay,
the bridge, the landmarks, and a
variety of elevations for interest-
ing angles to shoot from. Loca-
tions are diverse: downtown, the
waterfront, the Painted Ladies
Victorian homes, Chinatown, the
gritty Tenderloin. Film noir can
be shot in the fog; a screwball
comedy can bounce along hilly
streets. Many films shot in San
Francisco are written for the city,
so it, in a sense, becomes a char-
acter in the movie.
San Francisco still attracts mo-
vie-makers, with more than 100
films shot here in the past decade
and 16 last year, but more are in-
dependent or from small local
companies than in the past. Still
the citys long history of film of-
fers plenty of iconic spots to visit.
Here are just a few.
ALCATRAZ: In Birdman of
Alcatraz, Escape from Alca-
traz, Murder in the First, The
Rock, The Enforcer.
A federal penitentiary from
1934-63, The Rock housed no-
torious criminals including Al
Capone, George Machine Gun
Kelly and James Whitey Bul-
ger. Now a national park, Alca-
traz offers visitors a chance to
tour the prison.
Round-trip ferry to Alcatraz,
$28-$32 including audio tour, ev-
ery half-hour starting about 9
a.m.: http://www.alcatrazcruis-
es.com
FORT POINT, GOLDEN
GATE BRIDGE: In Foul Play,
Dopamine, High Anxiety,
Petulia, Point Blank, Verti-
go, The Presidio.
Built to protect the San Fran-
cisco Bay from Confederate and
foreign attack during the Civil
War, Fort Point is where Stewart
savedNovak inVertigo, right at
the base. The bridge also has
been blown up countless times
on film, including in X-Men 3
and Monsters vs. Aliens.
COIT TOWER: In Boys &
Girls, After the Thin Man, Dr.
Dolittle, Sister Act 2, The En-
forcer, The Presidio, The
Rock, Innerspace.
The narrow, white concrete co-
lumn atop Telegraph Hill has
beena part of SanFranciscos sky-
line since1933andoffers spectac-
ular views of the bay and the city.
Observation deck, $7 for non-res-
idents, $5 seniors and youth (12-
17), $2 kids (5-11), http://sfrec-
park.org/CoitTower.aspx.
CITY HALL: In A View to a
Kill, Bedazzled, Bicentennial
Man, Class Action, Final
Analysis, Foul Play, Invasion
of the Body Snatchers, Jagged
Edge, Magnum Force, Milk,
The Rock, The Wedding Plan-
ner.
City Hall has one of the largest
domes in the world and replaced
a structure destroyed in the 1906
earthquake. It was used exten-
sively at the end of Invasion of
the Body Snatchers and Sean
Penn, inhis AcademyAward-win-
ning portrayal of gay rights activ-
ist Harvey Milk, gave an impas-
sioned speech on its steps. ALA-
MO SQUARE: In Murder in the
First, Nine Months, The Con-
versation, Mrs. Doubtfire.
The neighborhood and park
are among the most photo-
graphed spots in San Francisco
because of the Painted Ladies, a
row of Victorian houses facing
the park on Steiner Street. The
Ladies have been a favorite of
filmandtelevisionproducers and
were used in the opening shot for
the sitcom Full House. The
house where Robin Williams
dressedup as Mrs. Doubtfire pos-
ing as his ex-wifes nanny is north
of the park at Steiner and Broad-
way.
WHERE TO EAT: One of the
citys oldest restaurants, Johns
Grill, 63 Ellis St., was a setting in
author Dashiell Hammetts The
Maltese Falcon. The interior
looks just as you would picture it
from the book, filled with origi-
nal period furnishings. A great
place to get steaks or a few cock-
tails while taking in the atmo-
sphere.
WHERE TO STAY: A quaint
boutique hotel, the Bijou, 111Ma-
son near Union Square, offers the
full Hollywood-in-San Francisco
experience. The hotel is de-
signedinthe theme of classic mo-
vie palace and portraits frommo-
vies decorate the walls. Each
roomis named after a movie shot
in San Francisco and theres a
mini movie theater off the lobby
that shows nightly double fea-
tures of San Francisco-based mo-
vies. Rates starting at low $100s;

Advertising Projects Writer
You start with a 7.73-acre organic
farm, add a three-bedroom ranch
home, and top it off with a pavilion, log
cabin, pond, greenhouse, sawmill, barn
and heated Quonset. The result is this
unique country property at 218 Ridge
Rd., Wapwallopen.
Listed by Gene Kahley of Trade-
Mark Realty Group for $389,900, this
exceptional retreat offers numerous
opportunities. With unfertilized soil,
this land is available for organic farm-
ing or a landscaping business. The
location is less than four miles from
the Dorrance exit of Interstate 81, and
offers easy access to points north and
south.
You can see all this property has to
offer at an Open House this coming
Saturday, Oct. 13 from 10 a.m. to
12 p.m.
The vinyl-sided home offers 1,604
square feet of space, beautiful hard-
wood ooring and great windows
which make it easy to enjoy the
country setting. A covered front porch
leads into tiled entry and the vaulted
18-by-15 living room, where the hard-
wood oors shine and all eyes are on
the replace with gray marble trim and
carved oak mantle. Windows ank
the replace and a set of atrium doors
opens to a side porch.
The adjacent open dining room
shares a vaulted ceiling, measures 12-
by-12 and has more of the hardwood
ooring and four side windows.
Sure to be a prime selling point,
the kitchen is simply beautiful with
off-white tile ooring, and gray and
tan speckled laminate countertops of
a large number of oak cabinets. The
sink is set on an angle in a corner
of windows to maximize the view. A
peninsula offers breakfast bar seating
and serves as a divider for a vaulted
breakfast room where a bay of three
windows faces front.
The master bedroom measures
15-by-13 and features wine carpeting,
off-white walls and atrium doors that
open rear to a patio.
The nearby master bath offers
plenty to talk about with a skylight
overhead and two octagon accent win-
dows. Cream tile ooring accents an
oak vanity topped by a cream cultured
