COLONELS WIN
MAYORS CUP
The 2011 installment of the
Mayors Cup game will be
known as the
Snow Cup
game.
When Kings
hosted Wilkes
on Saturday at McCarthy Stadi-
um, the teams not only battled
each other, they took on the
elements as heavy, wet snow
smothered the field. Combined
with gusty winds, the weather
was very much a factor as the
teams combined for seven
fumbles, two missed extra
points and several slips on the
slushy field in the Colonels 13-6
victory.
With the win, Wilkes (3-4 over-
all, 3-3 MAC) received the May-
ors Cup trophy for the 12th
time in the 16-year history of
the game. 1C

About the only thing Luzerne
County District Attorney candi-
dates Stefanie Salavantis and in-
cumbent Jackie
Musto Carroll have
in common is pas-
sionto be the coun-
tys top prosecutor.
They are more
than 20 years apart
in age; Musto Carroll has been a
prosecutor for more than 20
years; Salavantis has been an at-
torney for two years and has nev-
er prosecuted a criminal case.
Salavantis, 29, of Kingston
Township, garnered enough
write-in votes in May to obtain a
ballot position against Musto
Carroll on Nov. 8. No other Re-
publicans sought the nomina-
tion.
Since then, Salavantis has
waged a media offensive against
Musto Carroll, using television
and radio advertisements.
Musto Carroll, 50, of Pittston
Township, has served as district
attorney for the last four years af-
ter winning a primary battle with
current county solicitor Vito De-

Government-issued mobile
homes are sprouting up in flood-
ravaged regions around the Sus-
quehanna River, with more than
150 promised to Luzerne County
families.
But are these new homes for
flood victims humane habita-
tions or, as some have speculat-
ed, toxic tin cans?
The Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency in 2010 began
selling off more than 100,000
travel trailers that had been pro-
videdtovictims of hurricanes Ka-
trina and Rita in Louisiana and
Mississippi. Two years earlier, a
study by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention found
higher than average levels of for-
maldehyde in the trailers.
Becky Gillette, Formaldehyde
Campaign Director for national
environmental-advocacy group
Sierra Club, claims FEMA did
not test formaldehyde levels in
its new mobile housing units be-
fore purchasing them, and con-
tends they are probably just as
likely to seep formaldehyde.
She said she is willing to pay to
test interior air quality in mobile
housing units arriving in North-
eastern Pennsylvania.
Disaster victims are the last

Who could have dreamt it a
white Halloween.
Heavy, wet snowblanketed Lu-
zerne County on Saturday, can-
celingholidayevents andfrustrat-
ing business owners hoping to
cash in on the last-minute candy
and costume trade.
Several Halloween-themed
businesses gearing up for their
busiest weekend reported disap-
pointing sales
as snowfall kept
shoppers off the
roads.
Daelynn Far-
rell, manager at Spirit Halloween
Superstore in the Kohls Plaza off
Route 309, Wilkes-Barre Town-
ship, said crowds of last-minute
costume shoppers were steady
Saturday but were far from the
throng workers expected.
I was told we were going to be
hammered today, that it was go-
ing to be absolute hell, Farrell
said. Weve been constant and
busy, but hammered? No.
We were very busy yesterday,
she continued. A lot of last
nights business was people antic-
ipatingwhat was goingtohappen
today.
A storm moving up the East
Coast dumped snow from Mary-
land to New England, behaving
pretty much as predicted, said
Brian Lovejoy, a meteorologist
with the National Weather Ser-
vice in Binghamton, N.Y.
It developed in the Carolinas.
It has moved northeast off the
coast and threw some snow back

KABUL, AfghanistanATali-
bansuicide bomber rammeda ve-

an armored NATO bus Saturday
on a busy thoroughfare in Kabul,
killing17 people, including a doz-
en Americans, in the deadliest
strike against the U.S.-led coali-

the war began.
The blast occurred on the
same day that a man wearing an
Afghan army uniform killed
three coalition troops, who were
reportedly Australian, in the
southattacks that showthe re-
siliency of the insurgency and are
likely to raise new doubts about
the unpopular 10-year-old war
and the Western strategy of try-

A spokesman for the funda-
mentalist Islamic movement,
which was ousted in the 2001 in-

Qaida, claimed responsibility for
the attack, saying the bomber
had used 1,540 pounds of explo-

MARRIAGES & DIVORCES
HOWABOUT A SCARY STORY?
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
S
tate Sen. Lisa Baker reads to children at the Nuangola Library with librarian Lina San-
tomauro. Children attending the Halloween-themed reading were treated to activities
and a snack, as well as stories.
The Talibanandrelatedgroups
have staged more than a dozen
major attacks in Kabul this year,
including seven since June, in an
apparent campaign to weaken
confidence in the Afghan govern-
ment as it prepares to take over
its own security ahead of a 2014
deadline for the U.S. and other
NATO countries to withdraw
their troops or move them into
support roles.
Underscoring the difficulties
ahead, the brazen assault oc-
curred just hours after top Af-
ghan and Western officials met in
the heart of Kabul to discuss the
second phase of shifting security
responsibilities to Afghan forces
in all or part of 17 of the countrys
34 provinces. Afghans already
have the lead in the Afghan cap-
ital.
Heavy black smoke poured
from the burning wreckage of an
armored personnel carrier,
known as a Rhino, in Kabul after
the bomber struck. The bus had
beensandwichedinthe middle of
a convoy of mine-resistant mili-
tary vehicles when it was hit
along a four-lane highway often
used by foreign military trainers
in the southwestern part of Ka-
bul.
The landmark Darulaman Pal-
ace, the bombed-out seat of for-
mer Afghan kings, was the back-
drop to the chaotic scene: Shrap-
nel, twisted pieces of metal and
charred human remains littered
the street.
U.S. soldiers wept as they
pulled bodies from the debris,
said Noor Ahmad, a witness at
the scene. One coalition soldier
was choking inside the burned
bus, he said.
The bottom half of his body
was burned, Ahmad said.
NATO said five of its service
members and eight civilian con-
tractors working for the coalition
died in the attack.
A U.S. defense official, speak-
ing on condition of anonymity to
release the information before a
formal announcement, said all 13
were Americans. However, Lt.
Col. ChristianLemay, a Canadian
defense spokesman, told The As-
sociated Press that one Canadian
soldier was among the troops
killed. The discrepancy couldnot
immediately be reconciled.
It was the deadliest single at-
tack against the U.S.-ledcoalition
across the country since the Tali-
ban shot down a NATO helicop-
ter onAug. 6inaneasternAfghan
province, killing 30 U.S. troops,
most elite Navy SEALs, andeight
Afghans.
The Afghan Ministry of Interi-
or said four Afghans, including
two children, also died in Satur-
days attack. Eight other Af-
ghans, including two children,
were wounded, said Kabir Amiri,
head of Kabul hospitals.
In all, there were three attacks
Saturday against NATO and Af-
ghan forces across the country.
Ateenage girl also blewherself
up as she tried to attack an Af-
ghan intelligence office in the
capital of Kunar province, a
hotbed of militancy in northeast
Afghanistan along the Pakistan
border, the coalition said. Abdul
Sabor Allayar, deputy provincial
police chief, said the guards out-
side the governments intelli-
gence office in Asad Abad be-
came suspicious and started
shooting, at whichpoint thebom-
ber detonated her explosives,
killing herself and wounding sev-
eral intelligence employees.
Afghan Defense Ministry
spokesman Mohammad Zahir
Azimi said officials were investi-
gating whether the man who
opened fire on a joint NATO-Af-
ghan base in the restive southern
Uruzgan province was an actual
soldier or a militant in disguise.
NATO did not give the national-
ity of the three service members
killed, but the Australian Broad-
casting Corp. reported that they
were Australian.

Luzerne Boroughs police de-
partment has a new top cop.
The borough on Friday swore
in Patricia ODonnell as its new
chief of police.
ODonnells hiring was ap-
proved by council at its last regu-
lar meeting Oct. 12, Councilman
Mike Jancuska said.
ODonnell has served as a part-
time officer since the reincorpo-
ration of the Luzerne Police De-
partment in June 2010, and Jan-
cuska said ODonnell also
worked for the boroughs former
police department prior toits dis-
solution a decade ago.
Shes not a stranger to town,
Jancuska said.
ODonnell replaces Paul Bow-
man, who served as chief of po-
lice since the borough restarted
the department.
Jancuska said Bowman, who is
also a full-time police officer with
Laflin Borough, resigned amica-
bly and council accepted his re-
signation immediately prior to
ODonnells appointment.
Jancuska described Bowmans
service with the department as
an interim position.
He did very well by the town
by going through all the work to
makethings happen, but fromthe
beginning the intent was that it
would be a temporary position,
Jancuska said.
Jancuska said Saturday he was
not sure of ODonnells salary but
that it would equivalent to what
the borough had paid Bowman.
Bowman received $16 per hour
for his time with the borough po-
lice department, according to
The Times Leaders archives.

Cocaine supplier sentenced
A Wapwallopen man investigators say
was the main cocaine supplier in a drug
ring was sentenced Friday to five to 10
years in state prison.
Anthony Manchio, 51, was sentenced
on 13 related charges he originally plead-
ed guilty to in April.
Investigators said Manchio and 22
other members of the Outlaws Motorcy-
cle Club were charged in the ongoing
investigation, known as Operation Ava-
lanche.
According to court records, the in-
vestigation began in July 2008 when
agents with the Bureau of Narcotics
Investigation unit received information
that the group was selling large quanti-
ties of cocaine in the Wilkes-Barre area.
Undercover agents raided the Outlaws
Motorcycle Club, based in a clubhouse
at 115 N. Main St., Ashley.
Investigators said they made about 30
controlled cocaine purchases from mem-
bers since July 2009.
Thousands of calls were intercepted
through court-authorized wiretaps that
led agents to identify Manchio as the
Outlaws main cocaine supplier.

Apress release fromthe state Auditor
Generals office explained that the state
department of revenue was more ag-
gressive in collecting estimated pre-
payments of insurance premiums owed
by the out-of-state insurance company
taxpayers. Compliance with the pre-
payment mandate has been lax, in part
because of ambiguous tax form instruc-
tions.
The crackdown essentially prompted
those taxpayers to double their pay-
ments this year in order to comply with
insurance prepayment mandates, pro-
viding a surge in money available for
pension aid, which is handled by the au-
ditor generals office.
But Auditor General Jack Wagner
warned the money should not be used
to plug gaps in general fund budgets or
to boost benefits.
I strongly caution against using this
additional one-time increase as justifi-
cation for providing increased pension
benefits to plan members, or for plan-
ningfuturebudgets, Wagner saidinthe

Every weekend since the September
flood, and more often in the weeks im-
mediately following the deluge, Wilkes
Professor Andy Miller has led teams of
student, faculty and staff volunteers in
cleaning up the mess.
On Saturday, Miller was on the job
again, leading a team of 20 students in
scraping the muck from Dave Yudko-
witzs garage in Plainsville and pres-
sure washing Yudkowitzs belongings
in the snow and near freezing temper-
atures.

PLAINS TWP. In spite of the snow
covering local roadways, the Luzerne
County SPCAsuccessfully held an open
house event entitled "Open Howl-Se"
marking Halloween on Saturday.
The facility was bustling with resi-
dents of the community, gathering to
celebrate the Halloween season with
complimentaryrefreshments andanop-
portunity to view the shelters adopt-
able animals.
The shelter, fully decorated for the
season, servedas a backdrop for the sea-
sonal festival. Vendors were on hand,
selling everything from collectibles to
candles. Proceeds from the sales of the
event benefited the shelter. All About
Singles, a local dating service, was also
present at the event to showsupport for
the organization and to offer informa-
tion about its own services.
Nick Deiss, an employee of the SPCA
and part of the kennel adoption staff,
said several pet adoptions took place
during the day, but the need to place
pets was an ongoing one.
"We are al-
most always
full," said
Deiss.

people who have time to be ad-
vocates or activists, Gillette
said. Most peoplewhentheyget
their trailer, theyre just so darn
grateful that the government is
helping themout, yousee a lot of
them who dont want to com-
plain.
I just hate to see another set
of disaster victims facing those
same issues. It seems to me that
theyve turned there backs on all
of the lessons of Katrina and Ri-
ta.
Formaldehyde hazards
Formaldehyde is an organic
material usedina wide variety of
products, including glues and
resins used in pressed wood, car-
petingandother home-construc-
tion materials. It is also found in
cigarette smoke and smog.
According to the CDC, inhal-
ing formaldehyde can cause irri-
tation of the eyes, nose, throat
and skin, sore throat, cough and
nosebleeds.
It is also a known carcinogen
that is particularly linked to nose
and throat cancer.FEMA spokes-
man Mike Sweet said the mobile
housing units arriving in North-
eastern Pennsylvania meet all
construction standards set by
the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development, and
that residents moving into trail-
ers should not worry about for-
maldehyde exposure.
All these housing units are
built to HUD standards and
these units are not being built
specifically for FEMA, Sweet
said. These are the same type of
mobile homes people buy na-
tionwide.
Sweet said he couldnt say
whether the trailers had been
testedfor formaldehyde, but that
they have ventilation units and
enough windows to maintain ad-
equate ventilation.
Gillette, however, claimed
that nothing in the U.S. Depart-
ment of Housing and Urban De-
velopments guidelines has
changed relative to formalde-
hydeandmobilehomes sincethe
CDCstudy, so it is likely that the
newtrailers contain just as much
formaldehyde as the old ones.
The HUDstandards were not
good enough in Katrina, and
they arent good enough now,
Gillette said. The government
has taken on the role of a land-
lord, and landlords are supposed
to provide safe housing.
She is offering to purchase for-
maldehyde test kits for FEMA
trailer residents willing to share
the results with Sierra Club, add-
ing that she is hoping to test at
least five trailers. Gillette can be
reached 479-253-6963 or
through her website, www.toxic-
trailers.com.
Gillette was one of the first to
bring the issue of formaldehyde
in the trailers to the govern-
ments attention.
Though she never lived in a
FEMA housing unit, Gillette
said her neighborhood in Ocean
Springs, Miss., was flooded in
Hurricane Katrina and people all
around her were living in the
trailers.
Issues in 2006
When some began complain-
ing about respiratory problems
andnosebleeds, she andthe Sier-
ra Club started testing the air
quality in trailers in 2006 and be-
gan finding elevated formalde-
hyde levels.
Alot of my friends, a lot of fel-
low Sierra Club members were
living in these trailers, Gillette
said. It was impossible toignore
the problem. For us anyway, it
was impossible.
The CDC responded by con-
ducting its own tests. In Decem-
ber 2007 and January 2008, the
CDC tested more than 500 trail-
ers provided by FEMA to resi-
dents of Louisiana andMississip-
pi who were displaced by hurri-
canes Katrina and Rita.
CDC found levels of formalde-
hyde that were higher than
would be expected inside most
homes in the United States, and
recommended FEMA move resi-
dents out of the trailers.
CDC found an average level of
77 parts per billion in the tested
units, andconcentrations as high
as 590parts per billion. Inall unit
types tested, which included
trailers, mobile homes and
smaller park units, formalde-
hyde concentrations above 100
parts per billion were identified.
Persons sensitive to formalde-
hyde may develop symptoms
when exposed to levels above
100 parts per billion.
CDC also predicted it likely
underestimated formaldehyde
levels because the tests were tak-
en in winter and in trailers that
were at least two years old. For-
maldehyde levels were likely
higher in newer trailers and in
warmer conditions.
Sweet said no travel trailers,
which showed the highest con-
centrations of formaldehyde in
the CDC study, are being sent to
Pennsylvania. Rather, FEMA is
bringing in mobile homes and
park units.
FEMA has approved tempora-
ry housing units for at least 488
Pennsylvania households in nine
counties, with 165 promised to
Luzerne County flood victims.
They began arriving at a staging
area in Plains Township about
two weeks ago.
Sweet said the housing units
are being provided as a tertiary
housing option for flood victims.
FEMA would like to see flood
victims remain in their homes
when it is safe to do so, or stay in
rental properties close to their
homes.
He said Luzerne County resi-
dents expressed an uncanny in-
terest in the trailers in the weeks
following the September flood;
an oddity, in his experience.
Family not concerned
One family living in a FEMA
park unit said they have had no
concerns about the potential
emissions. Beatrice and Stephen
Solovey of Plains Township
movedintoa FEMAtrailer sever-
al weeks ago after the single-sto-
ryhometheybuilt in1964was in-
undated in the flood. They said
they havent been bothered by
any smells or physical ailments
since moving in, and arent con-
cerned about formaldehyde.
Its a placetosleepanda place
to eat and a place to wash up,
Stephen Solovey said. What
more could you ask for?

Continued from Page 1A
For flood victims living in or planning to move into mobile housing
units, the federal government recommends the following steps to
protect from formaldehyde exposure:
Open windows as much as possible to let in fresh air
Try to keep the temperature inside mobile homes at the lowest com-
fortable setting
Run the air conditioner or dehumidifier to control mold
Spend as much time outdoors in fresh air as possible. This is especial-
ly important for families with children, elderly people or those with
chronic diseases such as asthma.

Power out due to snow
The unusually early snowstorm
bringing heavy, wet snow to the East
Coast has knocked out power to nearly
580,000 customers.
Most are in Pennsylvania. Utilities
there say 428,000 customers have lost
power. PPL spokeswoman Lissette
Santana says 200 crews were working
to restore it and would be joined by 30
more crews from Kentucky and stand-
by contractors if needed. The utility
serves customers in northeast and
central Pennsylvania.
More than 160,000 customers lost
power in Philadelphia and its suburbs
Saturday afternoon.
In Connecticut, utilities reported
more than 125,000 without service.
In New York, sporadic power outages
are centered near Poughkeepsie and
Newburgh. Scattered outages have
been reported in New Jersey.
And spokesman Todd Meyers says
Potomac Edison, the dominant utility
in western Maryland, had more than
26,000 outages.
WASHINGTON
Obama cites income report
President Barack Obama is banking
on a new report detailing the income
disparity in the country as further
evidence of the need for his $447 bil-
lion jobs bill.
A report this past week by the Con-
gressional Budget Office found that
average after-tax income for the top 1
percent of U.S. households had in-
creased by 275 percent over the past
three decades. Middle-income house-
holds saw just a 40 percent rise. For
those at the bottom of the economic
scale, the jump was 18 percent.
Obama said in his weekly radio and
Internet address Saturday that he
would pay for his jobs plan with an
added tax on people who make at least
$1 million a year.
JERUSALEM
Attack kills 7 militants
Israeli aircraft struck at Palestinian
militants on Saturday who responded
with a volley of rockets which rained
on southern Israeli towns, Israeli and
Palestinian officials said. Palestinian
officials said that seven militants were
killed while the Israelis reported sever-
al civilians injured.
Exchanges of fire are common be-
tween southern Israel and the Gaza
strip controlled by the militant Hamas
group, but this is the worst one in
months.
Gaza Health Ministry spokesman
Adham Abu Salmia said that seven
people were killed and 15 injured in
two separate attacks on militant tar-
gets.
An Israeli military spokesman con-
firmed both strikes.

Directors of the American Society for
Addiction Medicine meeting in Wash-
ington are scheduled on Sunday to
discuss a report from three of its top
California members that recommends
replacing the states besieged medical
marijuana program with a system that
treats and taxes pot like alcohol.

GORNJA MAOCA, Bosnia-Herzego-
vina Special police units raided
homes Saturday in a Bosnian village
linked to the gunman who fired an au-
tomatic weapon at the U.S. Embassy in
Sarajevo in what authorities called a
terrorist attack. The raids came as 17
suspected associates of the shooter, all
said to be members of the ultracon-
servative Wahhabi Muslim sect, were
briefly detained in Serbia.
A convoy of police vehicles entered
the isolated northern village of Gornja
Maoca, known to be inhabited by
many Wahhabis, and officers wearing
black masks and camouflage uniforms
surrounded several houses, according
to an Associated Press video. The re-
porter saw the security forces enter
some homes before officers asked him
to leave.
The gunman, identified by police as
23-year-old Mevlid Jasarevic, is ac-
cused of shooting at the embassy
building in Sarajevo for at least 30 min-
utes Friday, wounding a policeman
guarding the facility, before a police
sniper immobilized him with a shot in
his leg.
An amateur video obtained by the
AP shows what appears to be Jasarevic
roaming a deserted intersection, wav-
ing his gun and occasionally turning
toward the embassy building, shooting
at the fence and facade. Another video
caught him dropping on the ground
after the sniper shot him.
Jasarevic is believed to be a follower
of the Wahhabi sect, and police said he
visited Gornja Maoca several times
this and last year. Both the gunman
and the police officer were hospitalized
and their wounds werent considered
to be life-threatening, authorities said.
Bosnian and Serbian police have co-
ordinated the response to the embassy
attack, and the raids in Bosnia on Sat-
urday were part of a joint operation.
The village appeared blocked with po-
lice setting up checkpoints, stopping
cars and searching them.
Police were searching several loca-
tions in Bosnia and questioning peo-
ple, State Prosecutor Dubravko Cam-
para said.
We are cooperating with colleagues
in Serbia, working with them and the
U.S. Embassy, he said.
In Serbia, police said in a statement
that as part of the detentions of sus-
pects, some 18 houses were searched
and computers and mobile phones con-
fiscated. The 17 people held were later
released after questioning, police said.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Occupy
Nashville protesters said Satur-
day that they plan to continue
challenging a newcurfewusedto
disband their encampment, de-
spite two nights of arrests.
Tennessee state troopers ar-
rested 26 people on Friday night,
less than 24 hours after a pre-

About 150 Occupy Nashville
protesters gatheredfor a meeting
Saturday, and several said they
would again challenge the cur-
few.
One posted new signs next to
those announcing the curfew.
The text was fromArticle1of the
Tennessee Constitution, includ-
ing the right to assemble.
The Tennesseannewspaper re-
ported early Saturday morning
(http://tnne.ws/vE2PXN) that
Magistrate Tom Nelson told
troopers deliveringtheprotesters
to jail that he could find no au-
thority anywhere for anyone to
authorize a curfew anywhere on
Legislative Plaza.

night werechargedwithtrespass-
ing; two were also charged with
public intoxication; and one was
alsochargedwithcriminal imper-
sonation, Department of Safety

refused to issue warrants for any
of the charges.
Officials said 72 troopers were

ment.

BANGKOK Defenses shielding the
center of Thailands capital from the na-
tions worst floods innearly 60 years most-
ly held at critical peak tides Saturday, as
the waters began to recede after killing al-
most 400 people. But the threat to central
Bangkok was not over, the prime minister
said, and the citys northern districts re-
mainedsubmergedalongwithmuchof the
countryside.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra
urged citizens to let the crisis run its
course as the floodwaters slowly drain to
the sea, with Bangkok lying in their path.
The floods that have besieged central
Thailand for weeks submerged entire
towns across the countrys heartland and
shuttered hundreds of factories over the
last two months.
We have the good news that the situa-
tion in the central region has improved as
runoff water gradually decreased, she
said. I thank people and urge them to be
morepatient incasethis weekendis signif-
icant because of the high tide.
Bangkok residents watched the citys
dikes and sandbag barriers warily as the
high tide pushing up the Chao Phraya Riv-
er fromthe Gulf of ThailandpeakedSatur-
day morning. It had been described as the
greatest test of the capitals flood defenses
sincethenortherndelugefirst approached
Bangkok more than three weeks ago.
While some water doused streets and
shops alongthe river, the tides fell short of
forecast highs and there was no major
breach. Higher than usual tides will con-
tinue through Monday, but are predicted
to be lower than Saturdays.
City official Adisak Kantee said the
citys concrete barriers are efficiently pro-
tecting Bangkok from deluge, though he
said smaller, private dikes might yet fail.
The situation is so far under control,
he said.

CANBERRA, Australia Qantas Air-
ways grounded its global fleet Saturday,
suddenly locking out striking workers
after weeks of flight disruptions an ex-
ecutive said could close down the
worlds 10th largest airline piece by
piece.
The Australian government called for
an emergency arbitration hearing,
which was adjourned early Sunday
morning after hearing evidence from
the unions and airline. It will resume
Sunday afternoon when the govern-
ment will argue that the airline be or-
dered to fly in Australias economic in-
terests.
Planes in the air continued to their
destinations, and at least one taxiing
flight stopped on the runway, a flier
said. Among the stranded passengers
are 17 world leaders attending a Com-
monwealth summit in the western city
of Perth.
When the grounding was announced,
36 international and 28 domestic Aus-
tralian flights were in the air, said a
Qantas spokeswoman, who declined to
be named citing company policy.
Qantas said 108 airplanes were being
grounded but did not say how many
flights were involved. The spokeswo-
man could not confirm an Australian
Broadcasting Corp. television report
that 13,305 passengers were booked to
fly Qantas international flights within
24 hours of the grounding.
The lockout was expected to have
little impact in the United States. Only
about 1,000 people fly daily between
the United States and Australia, said
aviation consultant Michael Boyd. Its
not a big deal, he said. Qantas is not
a huge player here.

Happy 12th Wedding
Anniversary In Heaven
Sadly missed and loved,
Wife Joanne
Everything comes and
goes each night
I am alone,
I cant seem to think clearly.
I am left here on my own.
I walk down the crowded avenue,
people all around.
Something is not here that I miss
I look inside myself,
there is only emptiness.
Or I can walk alone on a
lonely road,
No one here by my side.
I could probably make it through.
I have everything I need to get by.
Except, the one thing
missing in my life
Is You.

Barre, surroundedbyher familyand
loved ones.
Barbara was born in Paterson,
N.J., on June 16, 1949. She was the
daughter of the late Ted and Meta
(Springman) Volinski.
Barbara was a graduate of Hanov-
er Area High School, Class of 1967,
where she was also a cheerleader.
She also graduated from Wilkes-
Barre Area Vocational Technical
School with perfect attendance as a
Licensed Practical Nurse and was
employed at many nursing homes
throughout the Wyoming Valley,
most recentlyat GoldenLivingCen-
ter-Summit in Wilkes-Barre.
Barbara was a member of St.
Leos/Holy Rosary Church in Ash-
ley. She was also a member of the

POLICE BLOTTER
SARASOTA, Fla. Lego man
is going to stay in police custody
for three months.
Lego man, a 100-pound, 8-foot-
tall sculpture, didnt do anything
wrong except wash up on a Flor-

will hold the fiberglass sculpture
for 90 days just like all other lost
and found property.
During that time, authorities

Media salvos
Salavantis campaign has in-
cluded a commercial and radio ad-
vertisements alleging Musto Car-
roll did nothing to protect juve-
niles fromthe kids for cash scan-
dal and that the district attorney
defended the decisions of former
Judge Mark Ciavarella.
Salavantis cites a brief written
by Musto Carroll and Assistant
District Attorney FrankBarletta in
May 2008, in which the prosecu-
tors ask the state Supreme Court
to deny the request of three specif-
ic juveniles for a hearing after they
alleged their rights were violated
by Ciavarella.
Elections are about account-
ability, and (Musto Carroll) needs
toexplaintothepeopleof Luzerne
County why she specifically ar-
gued that the Supreme Court
should uphold the convictions of
three juveniles despite the fact
that they had no legal representa-
tion, Salavantis said in a recent
press release.
Salavantis said in an interview
that Musto Carroll should have
been in the courtrooms where ju-
veniles were and protected their
rights. Salavantis even alleges in a
TV ad that Musto Carroll didnt
bother to take a three-minute
ride fromthe main courthouse to
another county building to check
on juvenile proceedings.
Its been one thing after anoth-
er, Salavantis charged.
Salavantis has also questioned
Musto Carrolls know-nothing
approach to what went on in Cia-
varellas courtrooms andsaidwhat
thedistrict attorneyhasdoneinre-
sponse to the scandal including
assigning specific attorneys to ju-
venile court and several programs
is too little, too late.
Musto Carroll told The Times
Leader endorsement board there
is a lack of understanding as to
what occurred to say that people
in the system should have known
something.
Musto Carroll said inside the
courtroom, what Ciavarella did
wasfail toput thejuvenilesright to
waive their counsel on the record.
MustoCarroll saidassistant dis-
trict attorneys and public defend-
ers did not see red flags or any
change in the courtroom.
But outside the courtroom, she
said, is where Ciavarellas crimes
occurred, citing the payments he
tookfor placingjuveniles ina local
detention center.
MustoCarroll alsorespondedto
her May 2008 filing, stating the ju-
veniles did not follow proper pro-
cedure when asking the Supreme
Court to hear their case.
MustoCarroll saidalower court
should have heard the juveniles
complaints first, andthena higher
court, and that proper procedure
wasnt followed.
Ultimately, The Pennsylvania
Supreme Court agreed with us,
Musto Carroll said. I have to en-
force the rules and the law. Under
the law, (the original request by
the juveniles) was not the right
avenue to take.
Musto Carroll said she brought
the handful of juveniles who made
the request for hearings back be-
fore a county judge and that some
still did not want an attorney to
represent them.
I agreed to vacate all of those
convictions because I believed it
was the right thing to do, Musto
Carroll said.
The incumbent said Salavantis
accusations are baseless and are a
lack of understanding.
I think the most important
question is what qualifies anyone
to sit as a district attorney and do
this job, Musto Carroll said. Not
just her hurling mud and having a
negative campaign.
Experience cited
For the past 26 years, Musto
Carroll has workedas aprosecutor
in the District Attorneys Office,
andsaidshehasservedineveryca-
pacity an attorney can there.
The mother of three said what
qualifies her to continue in the po-
sition is that she has been doing
the job for the last four years.
Theres a choice to make,
Musto Carroll said. Do you want
someone who has been an attor-
ney for 26 years, who has lived in
this community their entire life,
who has raised a family, who has
seen these issues, who has tried
cases? Or someone who has made
negative accusations. I think vot-
ers have more sense.
A2009 lawschool graduate, Sa-
lavantis works for aninsurance de-
fense firmandinher ownpractice.
She also holds a bachelors degree
in business management.
Salavantis said she became in-
terestedinlawbecause she was in-
trigued by the vast ways and abil-
ities of attorneys to solve prob-
lems.
She said she observed her fa-
thers attorney, Jerome Cohen, a
former district attorney, and ad-
mired his work.
She handles a variety of cases,
including family, real estate and
some criminal work, and said she
is inandout of the courtroomona
daily basis, filing court papers and
conducting depositions.
Salavantis completed her law
school externshipwithCohenand
worked for him after she was ad-
mitted to the bar in 2009. She has
also been an associate of attorney
Robert Panowicz and his firm for
about a year.
Panowiczs daughter, Megan, is
involved in a criminal case in Lu-
zerne County Court, and Salavan-
tis said she returned money Rob-
ert Panowicz donated to her cam-
paign to avoid any perception of
impropriety if she were elected.
She also said she would forward
the case tothe state Attorney Gen-
erals Office to further ensure fair-
ness.
Salavantis admitted in a recent
interview that she has not tried a
criminal case and does not have
much experience in criminal law,
but that she can still run the office
efficiently.
Factoring into her decision to
run was the fact that no one in-
cluding experienced prosecutors
who work for Musto Carroll was
entering the race.
Salavantis saidshedidnot think
it was right that an incumbent go
unopposed in both the primary
and general elections.
For both the primary and general
elections, Musto Carroll spent a
total of $70,310, and has an unpaid
debt of $25,000, which is a loan
she received from her parents.
For the general election, Salavan-
tis spent a total of $184,249, and
has an unpaid debt of $165,000 in
loans she received from her par-
ents.

meaning they had less money
than needed to meet all obliga-
tions. A fund is minimally dis-
tressed at 70 percent to 89 per-
cent of full funding, andseverely
distressed if it has less than half
money needed.
All of which means there will
be scant incentive in most mu-
nicipalities to use the one-time
bonus for anything beyond pen-
sion obligations that are already
hard to match.
Hazleton Mayor Joe Yannuzzi
conceded as much. The city will
see state aidjumpfrom$617,201
last year to a bit more than $1
millionthis year, a 63 percent in-
crease. While grateful for a
windfall that, at first blush,
sounds impressive, Yannuzzi
noted the citys minimum man-
dated payment for the police
pension alone is $2.7 million,
with another $1.8 million due
for firefighters.
When you look at the totals,
the increase is only about 10 per-
cent of what we owe, Yannuzzi
said.
As the countys twobiggest ci-
ties, Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton
will see the biggest dollar in-
creases. But the formula for div-
vying up state aid creates con-
siderable variation in percent-
age terms. Salem Township, for
example, will see its state aid
spike from $36,362 to $90,308
a 148 percent increase. Conyng-
ham borough, on the other ex-
treme, will see a modest climb
from $29,271 to $32,173, not
quite a 10 percent change.
All told, the state will dole out
$132.6 million more in pension
aid this year than last. But the
press release warns: It is ex-
pected that collections in future
years will be consistently lower
than in 2011 because of the
unique event of collecting ap-
proximately 18 months of tax.

strumental in putting the event
together and was lauded by her
employees and volunteers.
"Cary really works hard on this
event," said Deiss. "This is her
baby. "
Many of the attendees of the
event took time to tour the facil-
ity and to view the animals that
were available for adoption. The
lobby was filled with people re-
flecting on the need for con-
cerned families to adopt the ani-
mals and on how attractive and
well-kept the animals were.
"Its really all about a love for
the animals," said volunteer
Sandy Ansell. "That is why we
work so hard to make these types
of events possible."

When the administration sought a newou-
treachprogram, theduoresearchedideas and
set up a committee to implement them here,
with the help of a $25,000 earmark from the
School Board. Owens and Thiemann-Wel-
gosh launched a flurry of outreach programs
includinga monthly bulletinthat highlights a
specific issue.
TheOctober bulletin, for example, covered
bullying, beginning with a definition, bully-
ingsigns, andthedistrict bullyingpolicy. The
bulletin provides advice to parents in hand-
ling bullying and a list of community agen-
cies that can help.
The two have also launched a pilot pro-
gram encouraging positive behavior at one
elementary school, outreach efforts to con-
nect teachers and students to social service
agencies, and an adult mentoring program
for students at Meyers High School.
Were not trying to reinvent the wheel,
Owens said. There are a lot of things the dis-
trict is doing, but only in some schools. For
example, two elementary schools annually
invite a fire safety truck to visit the school so
students can learn how to spot and escape
fires, anideathat couldbeexpandedtoall ele-
mentary schools.
The programalso looks for ways to encour-
age parents and students to participate more
in existing programs, such as 8th period
study and tutoring programs. Offering free
snacks seems to work. Food is always a good
motivator, Owens said with a laugh.
The big event this year is the First Annual
Harvest Festival, slated for Nov. 3 at Meyers,
4 to 8 p.m. Along with the turkey dinner,
there will be pumpkin and face painting, a
D.J. providing music, and a bullying laser
light show. Representatives from many local
agencies will set up booths and offer informa-
tion to parents and students.
A big part of the diverse effort is to change
parent and student attitudes toward school
employees and administrators.
We really want to help the families to look
at the school as some place they can turn to
when they need assistance, Thiemann-Wel-
gosh.

The storm that started before
noon was expected to end by 9
p.m., said Lovejoy.
The forecast for today was
brighter, with a high in the
mid-40s, and therell be some
sunshine, he added.
Logan Darling, a cashier at Dy-
monds Farm Market & Bakery in
Kingston Township, said pump-
kin sales were much slower than
expected Saturday.
Its usually pretty busy, Dar-
ling said, I just think people just
dont want to come out with the
roads.
Slippery conditions caused nu-
merous accidents and closed
roads around the county. Vehicle
accidents were reported on Free-
land Mountain Road in Freeland,
Lower Demunds Road in Dallas,
Route 315 in Laflin and Interstate
81 southbound at the Hazleton
South Beltway exit. Interstate 80
westbound between the Moun-
tain Top/Hazleton exit 262 and
the White Haven/Freeland exit
273 was closed for several hours
Saturday night because of a trac-
tor-trailer crash.
The heavy, wet snow caused
tree limbs and branches to bring
down power lines, causing outag-
es throughout Luzerne County.
PPL Electric had1,880 customers
without power around 8 p.m. and
1,484 were in the Avoca area, ac-
cording to the utilitys website. In
Dorrance Township, 329 custom-
ers were affected.
The weather forced the resche-
duling of several Halloween
events Saturday.
The Downtown Wilkes-Barre
Ghost Tour planned for Saturday
by the Luzerne County Historical
Society was rescheduled for this
Friday and Saturday, and The
Shoppes at Montage Halloween
Trick or Treat andParade was res-
cheduledfor noonto2 p.m. today.
Thesnowalsoshut downspook
houses around the county.
The Carnival of Souls haunted
house in Mountain Top, Broken
Hearts Asylum in Lehman Town-
ship and Gravestone Manor in
Plains Township were all closed
Saturday night.
Ive never seen anything like
this, and Ive been doing this 13
years, Gravestone Manor project
coordinator Rick Markham said.
It looks morelikeChristmas than
Halloween Weve talked about
for years about doingaChristmas-
themed haunted house, so we
might get our chance.
Carnival of Souls and Grave-
stone Manor both said they plan
to open tonight; Broken Hearts
Asylum could not be reached for
comment.
But the cold wasnt enough to
keep the dead in their graves, as
roughly 30 locals dressed as zom-
bies limped from Kirby Park to
PublicSquareinWilkes-BarreSat-
urday afternoon in the second an-
nual Halloween zombie walk.
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
A large group of people dressed as zombies participated in the
Second Annual Zombie Walk from Kirby Park to Public Square.
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Snow didnt stop these zombies from their mission to travel to Public Square from Kirby Park for the Second Annual Zombie Walk as
part of a Halloween celebration.

Crates of apples sit as the snow begins to fall at Braces Orchard in Dallas. Apple picking ended
early in the afternoon due to the snowfall, but the farm was still open to buy apples, cider, dough-

T
he little grocery stores heavy
wooden front door creaks as I
push it open, momentarily
startling me. Its sure not like the
whoof sound of todays automatic
entrances.
But I cant betray myself by look-
ing ill at ease here. If Im found out,
well, who knows what these people
of 1952 will do to a time traveler.
Ah, there it is the magazine
rack. I see lots of grown-up stuff like
Look, True Confessions, Mod-
ern Screen, as well as the gutsier
Police Gazette, Argosy and Con-
fidential.
But theyre not what Im after.
Over to the right, on a separate
rack, is my quarry. Im about to
plunge into the colorful comic books
when suddenly I look down and my
heart skips a beat. Lets see, theyve
got The Vault of Horror, The
Haunt of Fear, Weird Science,
Detective Comics wow, a trea-
sure trove of the good reads of six
decades ago. Since theyre just 10
cents apiece I can afford to do what
no kid alive can plunk down a $5
bill and walk out with an armful of
the mags.
From the corner of my eye I can
see the storekeeper watching, prob-
ably wondering what a gray-haired
adult is doing in the comics section.
So I smile and mumble good after-
noon. Placated, he continues put-
ting cans of string beans up on a
high shelf with a long wooden grab-
ber tool.
Finally I lug my stack of purchases
to the counter and the guy is all
ready to open up the huge metal
cash register when suddenly theres
a ringing sound. Patting the cell
phone, I stammer Er, ah, sir, I work
for the government and, you know,
well, ahem
Oh, no! Im waking up in my liv-
ing room recliner. Im so upset I
dont even answer the phone. Its
probably someone trying to sell me
a subscription to Patio Gardeners
Quarterly, with a discount if I get it
for three years.
I think I know whats going on.
The lengthening shadows of autumn
always make me think back to the
days of coming home from school
and rushing down to the store to
pick up the latest colorful tales of
spacemen or otherworldly creatures
or heroic crime fighters.
Actually, no one who enjoyed what
cultural historians now call the
Golden Age of American comic
books can forget the experience. It
was an explosive time of creativity,
populated by some of the best story-
tellers and graphic artists ever to
put ink on paper.
Sadly, it all came to an end when
in 1954 psychiatrist Dr. Frederic
Wertham published Seduction of
the Innocent, a book that portrayed
everything edgier than The Adven-
tures of Donald Duck as so violent
and sadistic that it warped childrens
minds and risked turning them into
blood-drinking psychopaths.
The result was Congressional
hearings and the Comics Code Au-
thority, a self-policing agency that
tamed the comics industry. It
would not recover until the cultural
change of the 1960s spawned Stan
Lee and Marvel Comics.
For the more intellectually adven-
turous kids of the 1950s, though, the
party had been shut down early and
all the interesting guests sent pack-
ing.
Today some of those old comics
are available in paperback reprints,
orderable online. But that doesnt
bring back the exciting days or the
mental voyages that should have
happened.
And thats a real horror story this
Halloween.

bby Billek Singh is the owner and operator of Canteen 900 in Forty Fort. Singh, 30, is a graduate
of Wyoming Valley West High School and New York University, where she received a degree in
food studies and nutrition. She and her husband, Bhanu, have a son, Oliver, 3. They live in Dallas.
Your restaurant noted its first anni-
versary recently. What first led to
your interest in culinary art? It
was all in the cards. My brother
and I played kitchen all our
lives while we were growing up.
Its the only thing we ever did.
There was no other route.
Even if I thought about a
different route, food is where
it always came back to.
Youve got a young business,
but its already a very suc-
cessful business. Why do
you think that is? Good solid
people that make magic hap-
pen every single day. Were not
open seven days, but we do a lot
of private parties, so a lot of times
we all work seven days in a row for a
month straight. And I couldnt do it
without my brother, Drew, and my
chef, John. Theres so many people
that make the restaurant what it is and
make it tick every single day. Its a
small staff. Were literally just six peo-
ple, but theyre all so important to me.
Theyve become my family.
Whats your favorite item on your own
menu? I love sandwiches. You can
basically put anything between two
pieces of bread, and it can be awesome.
Theres so many breads to choose from,
theres so many different spreads, and
all of these types of vegetables and
really great meats and really great
cheeses. If you pick really nice product
and make really great sandwiches, its
always going to taste good.
What do you enjoy in your free time? I
spend every ounce of my free time with
my son. My time with Oliver is really
special. Its all about Oliver.
Music? I love Johnny Cash. Hes so full of
soul, and hes so real. He didnt have the
easiest of lives, but I really like the
emotion that his music shows.
Hobbies? I collect cookbooks. I have a
really large collection at home. Ive
been collecting them forever.
Favorite food? I like any food that has
lots of flavor. Lots of flavor, lots of herbs
and lots of spices. I like something with
a punch.
Favorite city? New York. I lived there for
14 years. I met my husband there. Oliver
was born in Manhattan. We still have an
apartment there. I worked at a culinary
school there for five years, and I still go
back to teach once a month. Its my
city.
Favorite place to vacation? Goa, India.
Always in the fridge? Seltzer water for
me, apple juice for Oliver and eggs for
Bhanu. If we dont have those three
things, were not happy people.
First car? 1997 navy blue Volkswagen
Jetta.
Favorite TV show? I love Modern Fam-
ily. I think it shows how everyone can
be different, yet still be a family.
Favorite quote? Ideas are like rabbits.
You get a couple and learn how to
handle them, and pretty soon you have
a dozen. John Steinbeck.
Proudest professional moment? Hon-
estly, its every day. Its really hum-
bling and awesome to see the restau-
rant fill up with people every single
day. Its regulars that support us all
the time, and new faces all the time.
Im amazed and in awe every day that
I am where I am. I wake up in the
morning and ask Is this really all
happening? Its pretty cool. Restau-
rants are major, major gambles, and
we rolled the dice. And Im glad we
did.

OS ANGELES The loft-like offices at
5514 Wilshire Blvd. are largely the do-
main of the young, who work in jeans
and T-shirts at flat-panel screens.
They are Web branders, search engine opti-
mizers, e-tailers of underground clothing lines.
They do the virtual jobs that became jobs only
recently.
Ruben Pardo works in the building, too, in a
job that dates to the late 19th century.
Pardo operates one of the last manual eleva-
tors in Los Angeles.
The young people are not easily impressed
but something about Pardo awes them.
Each morning, the 69-year-old arrives at the
Art Deco tower in wool trousers, a button-down
shirt and a sweater vest.
Six days a week, for just over half his life, he
has been steering the same 6-foot-by-8-foot car
up and down the same 11 floors.
Hes been in this elevator longer than Ive
been on the planet, said Mani Nabavi of digi-
talgravel.com on the fifth floor, who turned 35
just after Pardos 35th anniversary.
Young people come. Young people go. Eleven
hours each weekday and nine hours each Satur-
day, Pardo greets them warmly and transports
them to and from airy work spaces with con-
crete floors and views of the ocean, downtown
and the Hollywood sign.
His cushioned, charcoal-gray cross trainers
put bounce inhis step. His voice dances withthe
lilt of an old-time 78.
Hello, Matt! he calls out, stretching each
syllable. Good mooor-ning, Victor!
Hows life? they ask.

Jews of early modern Venice and marginalized Muslim Turks in contemporary Europe. History profes-
sors Daniel Clasby and Nicole Mares and Kim Fabbri, coordinator of the Scholars in Service Program,
coordinated the program. Participants, from left, first row, are Noah Klinges, Ashley Desiderio,
Adrienne Penney, Alexandra Shinert and Gareth Henderson. Second row: Robert Figlock, Chris Skevo-

Up and down, he quips.
Pardo lives in El Sereno, Calif.
three bus rides and a subway
trip away. He is in the elevator
when the young people show up
and when they leave.
Again and again, he goes
through the motions yanking
the heavy outer doors, stretching
the safety gate, steering the car
while counting the floors as
doors flash by.
And day in, day out, this small
man with thin salt-and-pepper
hair exudes a joy that leaves his
passengers marveling.
Luis Zavala, a 33-year-old Web
graphic designer, works at the
Ace Gallery on 2. Sometimes, he
said, he drags his way into the
day.
As for Pardo, Its like a glass of
fresh water every morning. I
dont know how he does it, but
everydayfor himjust seems tobe
a bright opportunity for some-
thing.
Good morning, Saaaa-mi!
Good morning, Ruben.
How are you, Sami?
Good. Yourself?
Wonderful, wonderful! Nice
to see you. Its good to live anoth-
er day!
In the world according to Ru-
ben Pardo, life is what you make
of it.
It is small only if you see it as
small. It is as big as you dreamit.
Life is wonderful if youlook at
the positive side, he says. I try
to pick up the high points.
He was born in Mexico City,
the son of a shop owner. But the
shops went bust and the family
went north, settling in Chicago
when he was 7.
His father worked in the steel
mills. Still, money was tight. So
at 9, Pardo became a newsboy
calling out Extra, extra, read all
about it! after school.
I learned the punches of life at
a very early age, he says.
In class, Catholic nuns taught
him to be a good soldier and
obey. But his formal education
ended after the ninth grade,
when he got a full-time job to se-
curehis younger siblings futures.
Before his family moved to East
Los Angeles in 1962, he found
work where he could, painting
garages, shoveling snow.
I was like a sacrifice, he says
one that paid off for others.
His brother became a public
defender. One sister is an ac-
countant. The other retired as a
pharmacist assistant.
Everybody had a good posi-
tion and guess what? They all got
houses andthreecars, four cars in
the garage. And Im the one with
the little apartment, Pardo says.
Thats the small version of Par-
dos life: But we are happy. Me
and my wife, we are really happy.
... As longas youre happy, as long
as you are full of happiness, thats
all that matters.
The young people in the build-
ing have led big lives already.
Theyve been to college.
Theyve seen the world.
Recently, two of themgot mar-
ried.
Tracy and Josh Ryan, the foun-
ders of Jett Media Group on 6,
were taking off for their honey-
moon to London, Ibiza, Barce-
lona and Paris.
In the elevator, Pardo wished
Josh well.
Pardo has seen the world, too,
he says when he was young.
Each Christmas, his father would
drive the family from Chicago to
Mexico or California.
Heading west, they took Route
66.
Some of the states we saw
end-to-end. Some of themwe just
saw in parts. ... In Arizona and
New Mexico, we saw a lot of
those rocks, in different shapes,
different colors, like in the old
cowboy and Indian movies. To us
kids, it was like looking at a
dream, he says.
All day, as he rides up and
down, he lets his happy memo-
ries roll around in his head.
Chicago, a place so cold you
have to dress like bears. The
windy, rainy day he first spoke to
Trudy at a bus stop after gather-
ing her school papers, which had
blown onto the street. The time
he was in the elevator in an earth-
quake and it swayed 20 to 30
times, can you imagine?
My mindis so full of all the ad-
ventures Ive been through, he
says.
They sustain him, as do lifes
daily surprises.
I love my small, little world.

SOME MAY
SEE it as mar-
velous, magical
or mystical the
way Penn State
keeps finding
ways to win
football games.
Really though, the Nittany
Lions success has more to do
with their unshakeable self-faith
than depending on a wing and a
prayer.
While most Penn State fans
were asking the heavens for a
miracle during the teams final
drive Saturday, the Nittany
Lions were asking themselves
this:
Why not now?
"I kept telling the guys at
halftime, Its going to happen
for us," Penn State quarterback
Matt McGloin said. "It took a
little longer than I would have
wanted."
It took Penn State to its final
drive to finally put the ball in
the end zone and pull out a 10-7
victory over Illinois.
It took undying determina-
tion for the Lions to put aside a
whole day of struggles in the
snow and march 80 yards for a
game-winning touchdown.
It took a lot of luck for them
to remain unbeaten in the Big
Ten, too.
Signs of Penn State fortune
were everywhere at Beaver
Stadium, starting with an Illi-
nois field goal attempt that was
botched when the holder drop-
ped the snap at the end of the
first half.
A lot more fate played Penn
States way right from the start
of the second half.
You gotta have faith
A completed pass that would
have put Illinois in field goal
range was ruled an interception
when Penn State cornerback
DAnton Lynn ripped the ball
out of the receivers hands as he
appeared already down and
stretched out on the ground.
A pass interference call could
have gone either way on a
fourth-down pass play, but it
went Penn States way to extend
the winning touchdown drive.
And the Lions victory wasnt
sealed until Illinois kicker Derek
Dimke kicked a 42-yard field
goal attempt straight into the
right goal post as time expired
for his first miss all season.
Penn States Big Ten season
doesnt go to 5-0 without those
key contributions from fate.
But the Lions wouldnt have
rebounded with a winning rally
in the clutch without believing
they could put it together, ei-
ther.
"I guess its just something
this team has inside of us,"
McGloin said.
That trust stems from
McGloin, who convinced his
teammates they could march 80
yards over the games final three
minutes and five seconds
against a defense that hadnt let
the Lions in the end zone all
day.
"He just kind of said what he
always says, We got this, were
going to get down there, contin-
ue our season," said wide re-
ceiver Derek Moye, who made
two big catches and drew that
pass interference call in the end
zone on Penn States touchdown
march.
Sometimes, McGloin sounds
as if hes marching to his own
drummer. But you have to ad-
mire his dogged determination
that never sways, even in the
face of adversity.
The confident junior quarter-
back from Scranton threw18
passes and missed his target on
13 of them before the final
march. Then he hit four of his

WILKES-BARRE TWP. The
2011 installment of the Mayors
Cup game will be known at the
Snow Cup game.
When Kings hosted Wilkes on
Saturday at McCarthy Stadium,
the teams not only battled each
other, they took on the elements
as heavy, wet snow smothered
the field. Combined with gusty
winds, the weather was very
much a factor as the teams com-
bined for seven fumbles, two
missed extra points and several
slips on the slushy field in the
Colonels 13-6 victory.
Last years Wilkes victory --
when the temperature was push-
ing 80 degrees -- gave the teams
something warm to think about.
It was the first time both pro-
grams were part of a snow game
in more than 15 years.
Withthe win, Wilkes (3-4 over-
all, 3-3 MAC) received the May-
ors Cup trophy for the 12th time
in the 16-year history of the
game.
Ive told my players I always
wanted to play in a game like
this, Wilkes coach Frank Shep-
tock said. It was a neat atmo-
sphere for us to play in.
As the game continues to be
played and the tradition grows
withit, this is somethingthekids
will look back and say that its a
pretty neat atmosphere.

LINCOLN, Neb. That fan-
tastic finish against Wisconsin
sure seems like a long time ago to
Michigan State.
The ninth-rankedSpartans had
a chance to buildanalmost insur-
mountable lead in the Big Ten
Legends Division on Saturday
against No. 13 Nebraska, but the
Spartans road demons cropped
up again in a 24-3 loss.
What a difference a week
makes, Michigan State coach
Mark Dantonio said.
The Spartans were held to 187
total yards and quarterback Kirk

STATE COLLEGE Theyre going
to remember the sound.
The snow, the cold, the record, the
three quarters of offensive ineptitude

going to remember the sound that
final kick made as it collided with the
right upright.
Penn State players, coaches and
fans will remember the hollow thud
held their breath.
And then ... Clang.
Penn State 10, Illinois 7. Incredibly,
a seventh straight win for the Nittany
Lions and No. 409 in the Hall of Fame
career of Joe Paterno, pushing him
past the late Eddie Robinson for first
place all-time in Division I college
football.
The only other college coach at any
level still ahead of Paterno is John
Gagliardi, who is at 482 and counting
at Division III St. Johns (Minn.)
For me, a kid from Brooklyn,
whose grandfather was an immigrant,
to be something like this really means
a lot to me. An awful lot, Paterno
said after being presented a commem-
orative plaque by Penn State athletic
director Tim Curley and university
president Graham Spanier.

MANCHESTER, N.H. Following one
strong road performance with another, the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins polished
off a short but sweet weekend by hammer-
ing the Manchester Monarchs 4-1 on Satur-
day at Verizon Wireless Arena.
The Penguins pocketed two power-play
goals, while providing goaltender Brad
Thiessen with superb protection.
Thiessen made 17 saves just 11 through
the first two periods to record the win.
This after a long bus ride from Syracuse
through a freakish October blizzard on the
strength of Fridays 5-3 win.

six attempts in the clutch for 58
of his 98 total passing yards on
the day.
"Hes just part of what the
whole team has done all year,"
said Penn State coach Joe Pater-
no, whose team is suddenly 8-1
overall. "Were not killing peo-
ple. We dont go out and run over
them. Weve had to struggle.
"Theyve kept their poise and
they dont panic," Paterno con-
tinued about his Lions. "I think
Mac has epitomized that."
If nothing else, the Lions have
turned themselves into perfect
examples of resiliency.
McGloin never got gun-shy
while he was having a bad day,
taking his team on a last-gasp
touchdown drive the way a cer-
tain high-profile New England
Patriots quarterbackhas become
known for in the NFL.
"I thought about how Tom
Brady does those things,"
McGloin said, "move the chains.
The line was confident, the
backs were confident."
Moyes confidence may have
been shaken when he dropped a
third-down pass with time run-
ning out deep in Illinois territo-
ry. But the Lions went right back
to him on the next play, and the
pass interference call on the de-
fending trying to stop him gave
the Lions a fresh set of downs 17
yards from the end zone.
"I felt like I let my teammates
down," Moye said of his drop.
"But I got back in the huddle, re-
alized there was another chance
to make up for it."
Silas Redd made up for what
seemed like a lost cause.
His fumble in the first quarter
didnt give Illionis the games
first points, only because a fero-
cious Lions defense drove the Il-
lini backwards.
But Redd came back fromthat
witha three-yardtouchdownrun
as thegameclockhit1:08- anide-
al ending to his 137-yard rushing
day.
"At times we struggle," Pater-
no said. "But jeez, theres a lot of
character, a lot of feeling for each
other. Weve proven to ourselves
well stick together and we can
make things happen."
It may seem like a mystery,
how the Lions remain at the top
of the Legends Division in the
new Big Ten with an offense
playingsopoorly that something
looks broken.
They do it with the desire it
takes to make their own breaks.

THIRD QUARTER
UIUC -- Spencer Harris 10-yard
pass from Nathan Scheelhaase
(Derek Dimke kick), 3:32. Drive:
11 plays, 64 yards, 4:26. Com-
ment: After a bad two-plus
quarters of offense, Illinois
finally breaks through. Scheel-
haase, who came into this drive
late in the third quarter sitting
at minus-4 yards passing on the
game, gets things going with his
legs. The sophomore scrambles
for a few important first downs
before Jason Ford rips off an
impressive, tackle-busting run
of 18 yards down to the Penn
State 12-yard line. On third-
and-8 from the 10, Illinois offen-
sive coordinator Paul Petrino
dials up a well-timed and well-
executed play as Scheelhaase
fakes the handoff and delivers a
pass to Harris open in the end
zone. In this game, it just might
be enough. ILLINOIS 7, PENN
STATE 0.
FOURTH QUARTER
PSU -- Anthony Fera 30-yard
field goal, 7:00. Drive: 10 plays,
18 yards, 5:24. Comment: The
defense had already forced four
turnovers only to see the of-
fense fail to score after any of
them. This time its the special
teams unit that tries to resusci-
tate the dying offense as red-
shirt freshman Brad Bars comes
through, leaps and deflects a
Justin DuVernois punt directly
skyward. Penn State takes over
at the Illinois 31 and, yes, there
is a pulse. Matt McGloin com-
pletes the teams first pass since
late in the first quarter when he
finds Devon Smith for a first-
and-goal at the Illinois 5. But
the Illini defense is up to the
task, pushing the Lions back-
ward. On third down, the pres-
sure closes in on McGloin, who
drops the ball while scrambling
in the pocket for the teams
sixth fumble of the game.
McGloin picks it up but is forced
to take a sack and bring out
Fera for a disappointing three
points. UIUC 7, PSU 3.
PSU -- Silas Redd 3-yard run
(Fera kick), 1:08. Drive: 10 plays,
80 yards, 1:57. Comment: OK, so
it wasnt exactly the 94 game
out in Champaign -- one of the
Nittany Lions most historic
comebacks, which was capped
off with a 99-yard touchdown
drive in the final minutes to
keep the teams unbeaten sea-
son alive. But after a long, cold,
gray afternoon in which almost
nothing went right for the Lions
offense, it felt impressive.
McGloin had been just 5-of-18
passing for 40 yards as the
drive opened. But he went 4-
for-6 for 58 yards on this one,
incredibly connecting with se-
nior Derek Moye, who came on
late to play on a broken left foot
to get things started. On fourth-
and-6 from the Illinois 32,
McGloin looks first underneath
to Justin Brown and Devon
Smith, but both are covered
tightly near the sticks. So the
man from Scranton goes deep
to Moye instead, and the senior
captain draws a borderline pass
interference flag in the end
zone as both players handfight
their way down the field. From
there, its three straight hand-
offs to Redd, who tops 1,000
yards on the season and does
his best Brian Milne impression,
fighting through tackles to final-
ly get the Lions across the goal
line. Wow. PSU10, UIUC 7.
PLAY OF THE GAME
Despite an utter lack of big
plays throughout the first 50-
plus minutes, there are actually
quite a few candidates here.
Forced to pick just one, how
about the job by redshirt fresh-
man Brad Bars, who blocked a
punt from the Illinois 37 with
12:24 to play and gave life to the
Lions, who were barely regis-
tering a pulse? Penn State only
got three points out of the en-
suing drive, but it seemed to
give the team the extra spark
needed to pull out the improb-
able victory.
STATECOLLEGE Call it ug-
ly, old-fashioned or even hard to
watch. Penn States showing in a
10-7 victory over Illinois on Sat-
urday will not win any beauty
pageants.
And thats just how the defen-
sive unit likes it.
With the offense sputtering in
an all-too-common fashion, the
Nittany Lions defense forced a
season-high four takeaways to
keep the Fightin Illini at bay. It
allowed quarterback Matt
McGloin to tailor a late fourth-
quarter comeback, capped off by
a 3-yard touchdown run by Silas
Redd.
As a whole defense, you al-
ways try to make turnovers,
said Nate Stupar, who forced a
fumble. Just like any other
week, we made a lot of turnovers
and big plays. The turnovers
changed the game; they changed
the momentum.
Junior linebacker Gerald
Hodges proved to be Illinois
coach Ron Zooks offenses No. 1
foe. Hodges posted a career-high
19 tackles, one sack, a forced
fumble and two pass breakups to
frustrate the Illinis similarly
stagnant offense.
Playingweakside, youre nev-
er thinking youre going to get
that many tackles, Hodges said.
But being around the ball that
often, it just happens.
None of Penn States four turn-
overs proved as crucial as a punt
block on special teams early in
the fourth quarter. Brad Bars
blocked and recovered a punt
that gave the Nittany Lions pos-
session at the Illinois 31, setting
up an Anthony Fera field goal
that ended their scoreless
drought.
Despite the four turnovers,
PennStates offense didnot man-
age any points off of them. Until
the late scoring drive, it strug-
gled to move the ball into Illinois
territory. For the game, the Nit-
tany Lions managed 209 yards of
offense.
With the scored knotted at ze-
ro apiece for much of the game,
Joe Paterno needed an outstand-
ing effort by the defense; howev-
er, its job remained unchanged,
according to players.
We dont feel the pressure,
said Devon Still, who contribut-
ed a career-best 10 tackles and
3.5 tackles for loss. I feel as a de-
fense, thats your job: to get the
ball back into the offenses hands
as quick as possible. We go into
every game with that mentality.
The Penn State defense prac-
ticed throughout the week for Il-
linois to run an option-style of-
fense. But the Nathan Scheel-
haase-led Illini utilized only one
or two option plays, according to
Stupar.
Its funny. We were expecting
a lot of options. They only ran
one or two plays. We just
manned up, changed on the fly
and played defense.
To Paterno, this years team is
a more defensive-oriented team,
compared to past seasons.
Some years you play great de-
fense and great kicking, and
some years you have to offset
that with more offense. I think
this club obviously is a very fine
defensive football team.
In the drive after Illinois went
ahead 7-0, Hodges forced a fum-
ble that ended a third-quarter Il-
linois drive that had already
moved 30 yards. Hodges hit Do-
novonn Young on a second effort
before Stupar pounced on it to
claim possession.
I saw him make a spin move,
andthenthe ball he was carrying
came to view, Hodges said. I
hit him and ripped it out of
there.
Three of Penn States turn-
overs occurred deep in Nittany
Lion territory.
Nick Sukay forced a fumble in
the second quarter the first time
Illinois advanced past midfield.
Later in the quarter, Sean Stan-
ley intercepted a botched field
goal hold that was thrown down-
field to the Penn State 11. DAn-
ton Lynn pulled an interception
out of a receivers hands in the
third quarter at the 31-yard line.
Stanley said this was the de-
fenses best game of the sea-
son. Penn State held Illinois to
94 yards passing.
For the second consecutive
week, the rushing defense strug-
gled against a running game that
boasts a mobile quarterback.
Scheelhaase, along with running
back Jason Ford, produced a100-
plus yards on the ground.

For The Times Leader
STATE COLLEGE -- Derek
Moye would be rehabbing in
the pool. There was Matt
McGloin.
In the locker room. McGloin
again.
On the practice field and all
the way into the fourth quarter
on Saturday, McGloin followed
his top target around.
Still recovering froma broken
bone in his left foot, Moye
seemed all but certain to miss
his third straight game Saturday
when Penn State took on Illi-
nois.
But McGloin kept it up.
He was messing with me all
week in practice, Moye said
with a smirk. Id be (working
out) and hed be saying, You
practicing today? You practicing
today? It was the same thing in
the game. When you going in?
When you going in?
I think he kinda wanted me
to lobby the coaches. He was
lobbying me to lobby the coach-
es.
Stunningly, Moye suited up
for the game despite not prac-
ticing all week while donning
the red-cross jersey that keeps a
player out of most every type of
drill.
Even more surprising was
when Moye actually came out
on the field for a drive late in
the third quarter.
What many assumed was just
a decoy role turned into any-
thing but, as the senior captain
caught two key passes for 29
yards and drewa game-saving
pass interference flag on the
Nittany Lions game-winning
drive.
I was trying to get himgoing
all week, said McGloin, who
comes out for every game in
tandemwith Moye to throwthe
ball around. I just kept asking
him, You playing, man? You
feel good? You feel good?
He kept telling me he felt
good. We were going to need
himin an emergency situation,
and Id say that was an emergen-
cy.
Oh, yes.
(Receivers coach Mike
McQueary) told me at halftime,
Be ready. We may need you.
They told me that before the
game, too, Moye said. Then it
was a drive and I just heard my
name being called to get
warmed up.
Penn State receivers had
filled in ably for Moye when he
sat out the past two weeks. But
on this day, everything in the
Lions passing game seemed to
misfire and the wideouts played
their role with a fewill-timed
drops.
Down 7-0 with three minutes
to play, Moye was on the field
again.
The doctors had said Moye
can play if you really need him,
but be careful with him, coach
Joe Paterno said. Yknow, we
were dropping the ball and I
said to Jay Paterno, You tell
Mike McQueary, I want our
best receivers in the game for
that drive. We cant afford to
drop a pass.
As it turned out Moye did
end up dropping a pass himself
on the drive, a key miss on
third-and-6 fromthe Illinois
32-yard line.
But Moye made up for it by
doing just enough on the next
play to get the pass interference
call against his man and then
snagged a 9-yard gain to the 8 to
set up Silas Redds winning
touchdown.
Penn States doctors said
Moye would sit out against
Purdue and Northwestern be-
fore returning to face the Illini.
But as the last two weeks went
along with Moye unable to go
much in practice, it looked less
and less likely that he would be
able to play Saturday.
Yet there he was, helping the
Lions stay atop the Big Ten
standings with a 10-7 win.
To be honest with you, I
really didnt think they were
going to put himin today,
McGloin said. But we did need
himthere in the end. And he
came through for us.
Redd letter day
Penn State finished with just
209 yards of total offense, with
Redd picking up137 of themby
himself on the ground. It was
his fifth straight game over the
century mark, making himthe
first Penn State back since
Curtis Enis in1997 to accom-
plish that feat.
Redd finished with a career-
high 30 carries despite battling
another stinger on his left
shoulder in the first half. The
Lions needed every last one of
them, as No. 30 finally got them
across the goal line.

and a really good buncha kids
that I think proved today (what)
theyve got. And to all the fans
out there, thanks for sitting
through that today. Youve gotta
be nuts!
For several reasons, yes.
Not just the surreal snow that
started early in the morning and
dumped nearly 6 inches of snow
on Happy Valley. But because for
nearly 50 minutes, the Lions of-
fenseappeareddeadonthetable.
Throughthree-and-a-half quar-
ters, Matt McGloin and Rob Bol-
den combined to go 4-of-21 pass-
ing for 33 yards and two turn-
overs. Penn State trailed 7-0 on a
Nathan Scheelhaase touchdown
pass and was floundering.
But the defense forced four
turnovers by the Fighting Illini
and Brad Bars blocked a punt to
set up an Anthony Fera 30-yard
field goal with seven minutes to
play.
The Lions (8-1, 5-0 Big Ten)
then got a stop on defense and
forcedapunt, takingover at their
own 20 yard-line with 3:05 to
play.
I dont knowwhat it was, if we
werent into it or what, but we
couldnt get things going early
on, saidMcGloin, whomade his
second straight start, though he
watched most of the second
quarter from the sideline as Bol-
den took over for four ineffective
drives.
But every quarterbackandev-
eryoffense wants tobe inthat sit-
uation to make a play and win.
Youhavetomakeaplay. Youhave
to pressure yourself to get some-
thing done. Youve gotta score.
Youre either a hero or youre
nothing.
Sounding hoarse and battling
acold, McGloinralliedthetroops
and them on their most impor-
tant drive of the season, hooking
upwitha hobbledDerekMoye to
get things going.
McGloin proceeded to go 4-
for-6 for 58 yards on the drive, in-
cluding a fourth-down bomb in
the end zone to Moye who was
came in late to play on a broken
foot that drew a pass interfe-
rence flag.
He was open, McGloin said
simply. They jumped the two
underneath routes. He was open
so I threw it to him. I took a
shot, and luckily we got the pass
interference.
Four plays later, it was Silas
Redd, having just topped 1,000
yards ontheseason, scoringfrom
3 yards out for Penn States first
lead of the game 10-7 with just
1:01 to play.
The Illini (6-3, 2-3) drove 58
yards to the Penn State 25 in that
final minute, bringing on Dimke
to send the game to overtime
with five seconds left.
I knewit was close. I was lean-
ingyouknowhowwhenyouhit
your (pitchingwedge) andyoure
leaning, leaning, defensivecoor-
dinator Tom Bradley joked, tilt-
ing all the way to his right in his
seat to demonstrate after the
game.
But I just felt that theywerent
gonna score. I just had that feel-
ing that he wasnt gonna make
it.
Dimke, whohadbeenaperfect
7-for-7 on field goals on the sea-
son, including a long of 49 yards,
hit it well. But he hit it right. Just
far enoughtoconnect inthedead
center of the upright.
Thosefewinches madethedif-
ference, keeping Penn State as
the lone team left undefeated in
Big Ten play.
Nowthe Lions will rest updur-
ing an open week before closing
with the toughest part of their
schedule home against Nebras-
ka and on the road at Ohio State
and Wisconsin as they try and
holdonfor aspot intheinaugural
Big Ten championship game.
I think weve proven to our-
selves that well stick together
and make some things happen,
Paterno said. Whether thats
gonna be good enough with oth-
er teams, well see.
Well find out how good we
are.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Notre
Dame less than two minutes to
make a weeks worth of problems
heck, maybe a seasons worth
disappear.
Michael Floyd and Jonas Gray
scored in a span of 1 minute, 59
seconds Saturday, and Notre
Damerolledfromthere, rebound-
ingfromits roughweekwitha56-
14 thrashing of Navy. The Irish
(5-3) rushed for seven touch-
downs, most in 19 years, while
limiting Navy (2-6) to a season-
low 229 yards of offense in the
Midshipmens sixth straight loss.
As a family, we all have good
days and bad days. And you work
through that as a family, Notre
Dame coach Brian Kelly said.
We communicated with each
other as a team and as a family,
and you saw it today. You saw a
team that played together. I told
our team, thats the best collec-
tion of plays relative to all 11play-
ers playing together.
Alopsidedloss to USClast Sat-
urday night pretty much ended
Notre Dames chances of a BCS
bowl for yet another year, and
tensions within the team appar-
ently flared after Kelly talked
about having to retrain the
players he inherited fromCharlie
Weis. Some of the veterans, in-
cluding star linebacker Manti
Teo, expressed their displeasure
with his comments on Twitter,
and the Chicago Tribune report-
ed Saturday that Kelly apol-
ogized to players during a team
meeting Friday.
But winning cures all kinds of
ills and the Irish looked like a
happy bunch Saturday, exchang-
ing flying chest bumps after TDs
and dancing on the sidelines.
Notre Dame scored on five of
its first six possessions, and had
tworunningbacks score multiple
touchdowns (Gray had three,
CierreWoodhadtwo) for thefirst
time since 2001. Floyd also had
two TDs, scoring on a 56-yard
catch and a 10-yard lateral for
Notre Dame, whichbeat Navy for
only the second time in five years
after winning 43 straight from
1964 to 2006.
The game was so out of hand,
thestarters spent thefourthquar-
ter on the sidelines.
Im not going to get into the
specifics of it, but we just had to
go out there and play unified,
Gray said. Let the outside dis-
tractions be just that, outside dis-
tractions. Obviously, when you
look at us on the field, that was a
unified team, no doubt.
Not that everything was per-
fect.
Notre Dame has struggled
with turnovers all season, and its
sloppiness cost the Irish again in
early in the second quarter. Theo
Riddick couldnt get his hands on
a swing pass from Tommy Rees,
and Navy end Jabree Tuani
scooped the ball up. Though the
play was initially ruled a lateral
and, thus anincomplete, that was
overturned, giving the Middies
the ball at the Notre Dame 27.
Sixplays later, Gee Gee Greene
scored on a 9-yard pass from
young quarterback Trey Miller,
playing in place of Kriss Proctor,
to cut Notre Dames lead to 14-7.
Instead of falling apart,
though, the Irish roared back
with two touchdowns in a 2-min-
ute span.
George Atkinson III gave the
Irish great field position, putting
the ball at the Notre Dame 44.
Rees then found Floyd, who took
advantage of Navys defensive
breakdowns and strolled into the
end zone untouched for a 56-yard
score.
The Irish defense hounded
young quarterback Trey Miller
all afternoon. Miller finished just
5-of-13 for 33 yards, and Navy
could only manage 196 yards on
the groundwell belowits aver-
age of 325 yards.
Fullback Alex Teich, who ran
roughshodover theIrishlast year
for a career-high 210 yards on 26
carries, was held to just 62 on 15
touches.

Cousins couldnt get anything
going in the passing game
against Nebraskas swarmingde-
fense.
After throwing for 290 yards
and three TDs at home in last
weeks crazy 37-31win over Wis-
consin last week, Cousins mis-
sed on 12 of his first 16 passes
andfinished11of 27for 86yards.
He was sacked four times.
Cousins was intercepted on
the Spartans first possession,
was nearly pickedoff three other
times and often threw into dou-
ble coverage.
Were a much better team
than we showed today and we
still havealot of things infront of
us to accomplish, Cousins said.
Its important to push on and
understand that so much of
what happens tous this seasonis
not what happened to us but
how we respond. Its important
that we respond the right way.
The Cornhuskers (7-1, 3-1)
moved into a tie with Michigan
State (6-2, 3-1) and Michigan for
the Big Ten Legends Division
lead. Iowa also would have a
share of the lead with a win over
Minnesota. The Huskers own
the tiebreaker with Michigan
State and are yet to play Michi-
gan and Iowa.
Michigan State running back
LeVeon Bell said he and his
teammates wont use the emo-
tional hangover of last weeks
win as an excuse.
I dont thinkthat affectedus,
he said. We just didnt execute
the way we should have. Espe-
cially in an environment like
that, playing on the road, youve
got to execute a lot better.
The road hasnt been kind to
the Spartans. They were ham-
mered at Iowa a year ago for
their only Big Tenloss andagain
by Alabama in the Capital One
Bowl. This year they were
drilled 31-13 at Notre Dame and
scraped by in a 10-7 win at Ohio
State.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.
Fitzgerald Toussaint ran for a
career-high 170 yards and tied a
career high with two touch-
downs, leading No. 17 Michi-
gan to a 36-14 win over Purdue
on Saturday.
The Wolverines (7-1, 3-1 Big
Ten) gave up a TD on the
opening drive of the game,
then scored 36 straight points
to bounce back from their first
loss of the season, two weeks
ago at Michigan State.
The Boilermakers (4-4, 2-2)
havent won or lost consecutive
games this year.
Toussaint had 155 yards
rushing through three quar-
ters, helping Michigan find a
rusher to take some of the load
from quarterback Denard Rob-
inson. Backup Michael Shaw
ran for a 37-yard TD on his first
carry early in the fourth for a
36-7 lead.
Northwestern 59, Indiana 38
Dan Persa and Kain Colter
combined to throw five touch-
down passes Saturday, and
Drake Dunsmore hauled in a
school-record four TDs to lead
Northwestern past Indiana
59-38.
It was a record-setting day
for the Wildcats (3-5, 1-4 Big
Ten), who scored nine times
before finally punting in the
fourth quarter. Dunsmore also
became Northwesterns all-
time leader in yards receiving
by a tight end, and the five TD
passes tied the schools single-
game team record. Northwest-
ern finished with 616 total
yards, just short of another
school record (674).
The Wildcats ended their
five-game losing streak.
Indiana (1-8, 0-5) lost its
sixth straight and has now
given up 40 or more points in
four straight games for the first
time since 2005.
Minnesota 22, Iowa 21
MINNEAPOLIS Mar-
Queis Grays fourth-down
sprint for the pylon from the
2-yard line in the closing min-
utes lifted Minnesota to a 22-21
victory over Iowa on Saturday,
giving the Gophers possession
of the Floyd of Rosedale bronze
pig trophy for the second
straight year.
Gray went 11 for 17 for 193
yards and a touchdown passing
and ran 11 times for 62 yards
and the go-ahead score for the
Gophers (2-6, 1-3), who lost
their first three Big Ten games
by an average margin of 38
points. Minnesota students
stormed the field in celebration
and surrounded the players
afterward.
Marcus Coker carried the
ball 32 times through several
huge holes for 252 yards and
two touchdowns, but the Haw-
keyes (5-3, 2-2) missed a
chance to move into a four-way
tie for first place in the Leg-
ends Division with a rough
November schedule ahead.

Toussaint runs wild as
Michigan clubs Purdue
The Associated Press MANHATTAN, Kan. Lan-
dry Jones and Ryan Broyles
helped No. 11 Oklahoma get
back on track and spoil 10th-
ranked Kansas States dream
season.
Jones threw for a school-
record 505 yards and five touch-
downs, his All-American wide
receiver caught 14 passes for 171
yards and a score, and the Soon-
ers bounced back from a stun-
ning defeat to beat the previous-
ly unbeaten Wildcats 58-17
Saturday.
Kenny Stills added four catch-
es for 101 yards, Roy Finch fin-
ished with 73 yards rushing and
another 69 through the air, and
the Sooners potent, fast-paced
attack managed 690 yards of
total offense against the leagues
top-ranked defense.
Jones passing total shattered
the previous record of 468 yards
he shared with Sam Bradford,
while Broyles moved into first
place on the Big 12s career list
with 4,499 yards receiving.
It wasnt all good for Oklaho-
ma (7-1, 4-1).
Leading rusher Dominique
Whaley was hurt while blocking
on the first play of the game.
The Oklahoma medical staff put
an air cast around his lower left
leg and he was removed from
the field on a cart. He later
returned to the sideline on

WILKES-BARRE At least
Meyers left with a warm feeling
on a very cold, snowy night for
football.
The same couldnt be said for
Holy Redeemer in the only local
highschool game playedSaturday.
The Mohawks dominated all as-
pects of the game to post their
third win of the season with a 36-6
victory in a Wyoming Valley Con-
ference Division 2A-A game at
snow-covered Wilkes-Barre Me-
morial Stadium.
Running back Fabian Smith led
the victory, rushing for 168 yards
and two touchdowns as Meyers
improved to 3-6. Redeemer (0-9)
lost its 20thconsecutive game, but
was able to avoid a shutout when
quarterback David Gawlas scored
on a 9-yard run with eight seconds
remaining.
Special teams and fumbles
played a big part in the game turn-
ing into a rout by halftime.
A bad punt snap on Redeemers
first possession of the game result-
ed in a 22-yard loss to give Meyers
the ball at the Royals 4-yard line.
Meyers quarterback Teaguen La-
batch scored on a 1-yard run two
plays later.
Thenlate inthe first quarter, Re-
deemer fumbled twice on the
same play, losing the second one.
Smith galloped 50 yards on the
next play, givingMeyers the ball at
the Redeemer 8.
After a penalty, Labatch fired a
pass to tight end Jalen Miller over
the middle for a 13-yard touch-
downanda14-0leadat11:55of the
second quarter.
Miller followed with a big play
fromhis defensive end spot on Re-
deemers ensuing possession. He
broke through the line and tackled
Redeemer running back Vince Vil-
lani in the end zone for a safety.
Smithscoredona 48-yardpitchon
the first play after the free kick, in-
creasing the Mohawks lead to
23-0.
Matt DeMarco scored on a 32-
yard run with 4:15 left in the sec-
ond quarter as Meyers took a 30-0
lead into halftime.
The poor weather and field con-
ditions hurt Redeemer more than
Meyers. TheRoyals relyheavilyon
their passing game and it pro-
duced little throughout.

The conditions also affected
the Monarchs (1-6, 1-5) passing
game. With freshman quarter-
back Bryant Klein making his
first career start, Monarchs
coach Jeff Knarr wanted to uti-
lize a more potent passing at-
tack, but the weather kept the
team from achieving that until
the snow slowed down in the
fourth quarter.
We were trying to run he ball,
but we need to throw it, Knarr
said. Theyre an eight-man, 4-4
defense, so you got to throw the
football. It was really tough, not
only in the snow, but the wind
was an issue. Its really hard to
throw the ball effectively.
Wilkes didnt have much trou-
ble gettingits offense goingearly
as Zach Tivald broke off a 52-
yard touchdown run at the 11:26
mark in the first quarter. Tivald,
who ran for 128 yards on 18 car-
ries, took the ball off the right
end and scampered for the score
and a 6-0 lead.
That gave us great momen-
tumandwe wantedto get a good
start today because of the ele-
ments, Sheptock added. You
didnt know what was coming.
So having that early lead gave us
some confidence.
As the clock was winding
down in the first half, Colonels
quarterbackAlexGeorge capped
a 5-play, 69-yard drive with a 25-
yard scamper to the end zone to
put his teamahead13-0with3:56
left.
The Kings offense, which
managed only 65 total yards in
the first half, got going late inthe
third quarter. Then as the fourth
started, the Monarchs got on the
board when Klein ended an 8-
play, 51-yard possession with a 1-
yard quarterback sneak for the
score to trim the lead to 13-6.
Wilkes took more than 8 min-
utes off the clock on its next
drive, whichendedwhenGeorge
was sacked and turned the ball
over on downs.
The Monarchs had one last
chance to tie the game, getting
the ball with4:52 left ontheir 25.
They drove 49 yards on eight
plays before Klein was picked off
at the goal line by Joe Chrismer
with 37 seconds remaining to se-
cure the victory.
Klein was 5-of-11 for 51 yards
and also ran for 31 yards -- all of
those yards were gathered in the
second half.
It was a good game. We bat-
tledtothe endandwe kindof ran
out of time there, Knarr noted.
(Klein) settled down and hit
some passes at the end. Hes go-
ing to remember his first start no
matter what, but this one hell
probably never forget. He did a
lot of good things and at the end
of day he gave us a chance to
win.
Wilkes defensive end Rob
Houseknecht was named his
teams MVP for a 12-tackle per-
formance, whichincluded2.5for
a loss and a half of a sack. Kings
junior defensive lineman Jake
Lehnowsky earned the Mon-
archs MVP award, racking up
six tackles, three for a loss and a
half of a sack.

(END OF REGULAR SEASON)
It was a real simple and smart
road win, said rookie forward
Brian Gibbons, who factored into
twogoals. I thinkwestucktothe
game plan really well. We played
the kind of game we wanted to
play, anddidwhat wetriedtodo.
The Penguins displayed much
more energy thantheir hosts, los-
ers of five of their past six starts.
They grabbed a 1-0 first period
lead courtesy of Gibbons, then
fattened it to two goals in the sec-
ond.
We wanted to try to end the
weekend on a good note, Pen-
guins coach John Hynes said.
And also to progress forward. It
was nice to be able to get the lead
and get things going. The guys
are feeling good about how
theyre playing.
Gibbons tally, hissecondof the
season, came on a power play at
13:13, as the Penguins buzzed
Manchester starting goalie Mar-
tin Jones.
Gibbons was in the right spot
to park a rebound left after Colin
McDonalds stuff attempt from
close range was kicked out by
Jones.
Colinwasabletoget goodtraf-
fic in front, Gibbons said, and
the puck just squeakedout to me.
I was able to finish it.
McDonald also had a hand in
Eric Tangradis goal, which came
at 4:59 of the middle stanza.
Streaking down right wing,
McDonald fed a cross-ice pass to
Tangradi, who parked it for his
fourth goal of the season.
He (McDonald) has good
hockey sense, Hynes said. He
seems to distribute the puck, so
he knows what hes going to do
before he gets it. He can collect it
and move it quick.
Thenless thantwominutes lat-
er, the Penguins received a gift
goal, alsoonapowerplay, afterJa-
son Williams rebound was
kicked in by Manchester defense-
man Thomas Hickey.
Jones was pulled at that point
in favor of backup Jeff Zatkoff.
Gibbons made a nifty play after
a faceoff win to set up Niko Dimi-
trakos third-period tally.
Thiessens shutout bid was
spoiledwith5:21remainingwhen
Brandon Kozun scored for Man-
chester.
NOTES: Thecontest wastaken
in by members of the Pittsburgh
brain trust, including top execu-
tive Tom Fitzgerald. The Pen-
guins lost veteran right wing Ge-
off Walker late in the first period
after he came up holding his left
wrist followinga corner collision.
He did not return. The game
was a homecoming of sorts for
rookiePens forwardPaul Thomp-
son, who played his college hock-
ey at the University of New
Hampshire, located a long slap-
shot away in Durham.

PHILADELPHIALast years
Dallas Cowboys and this group of
Philadelphia Eagles have a lot in
common.
Americas Teamknows what its
like when a Dream Team under-
achieves.
Asyouknow, theyput together
the Super Teamat the start of the
year, Cowboys owner JerryJones
saidduringhis weeklyradioshow.
We know how it goes when you
put it onpaper, but its got to go to
thefield. Wehadthat happentous
last year, for sure.
So, we know that they have
their heart. They have not in any
way let where they are with their
recordimpact their aspirations for
this year. Thats a dangerous situa-
tion.
The Cowboys (3-3) visit the Ea-
gles (2-4) on Sunday night in the
105th meeting between the NFC
East rivals, including playoffs. Its
another must-win game for Phila-
delphia.
Thingshavent gonethewaythe
Eagles, their fansandmanyothers
expected. After awildoffseasonin
which they added several high-
profile players, the Eagles had a
Super Bowl-or-bust mentality. In-
stead, they are last in the NFC
East.
Comingoff a divisiontitle anda
playoff win in 2009, the Cowboys
were hoping to become the first
team to play in a Super Bowl at
homelast year. It wasarealisticex-
pectation for a team that was
among the preseason favorites to
winit all.
But the season spun out of con-
trol early, andcoachWadePhillips
was firedafter a1-7 start.
It hasnt reached that point in
Philadelphia, though plenty of
fansincludingaguywhohunga
signoutside the teams practice fa-
cility want to see coach Andy
Reidgone.
A 20-13 win at Washington
snapped the Eagles four-game
winningstreak, tooksomeheat off
Reidandgavetheplayersreasonto
feel encouragedgoing into a bye.
Still, theyknowtheyvegotplen-
ty of work to do.
The odds favor Philadelphia
this week. Under Reid, the Eagles
are12-0 after a bye.
Trash-talkinghasbeenabigpart
of this rivalry over the years, and
the notorious Eagles fans hate the
Cowboys more than any other op-
ponent.
BuddyRyannever wonaplayoff
gameinfiveseasons coachingPhi-
ladelphia from 1986-90. But a big
reasonwhyhesstill reveredinthis
city is his dominance over the
Cowboys. Buddys boys were 8-2
against Dallas, including seven
straight wins. There were some
memorable games among those,
including the Bounty Bowl in
1989.
The Cowboys have won four of
theprevious fivemeetings, includ-
ing a meaningless regular-season

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Like many players during a bye
week, the New York Giants got in
front of their televisions this past
weekend and watched the winless
Miami Dolphins blow a 15-point
lead in the final three minutes and
lose in overtime.
They watchedthe Broncos Tim
Tebow run al-
most untouched
for a game-ty-
ing, 2-point con-
version in the fi-
nal seconds and
saw a fumble by
Dolphins quar-
terback Matt
Moore set up a
game-winning
field goal. They
also heard the
sound bite of
Dolphins run-
ning back Reg-
gie Bush saying
his team
stinks.
They werent
the only ones
watching the
mess.
Tom Cough-
lin saw it, too,
and the coach spent the early part
of the week warning his NFCEast-
leading Giants (4-2) that the Dol-
phins (0-6) have the capability to
beat them Sunday at MetLife Sta-
diumdespiteall their problems, in-
cluding speculation that coach To-
ny Sparano is in his final season.
Coughlin broke down the Dol-
phins season for his team, noting
Miami wasincontentioninthesec-
ond half against New England,
Houston, Cleveland, San Diego
and Denver, but just didnt make
theplays. Eveninthegameagainst
theJetshereacoupleof weeksago,
theDolphinscouldhavebeenup14
points early.
If there was a bottomline for the
Giants, it was dont approach the
Dolphins the same way they did
Seattle. New York came out flat
and got beat.
The Giants are coming off their
bye with a healthy roster for the
first time this season. Defensive
end Justin Tuck, guard Chris Snee
andbackuprunningbackBrandon
Jacobs are all expected back in the
lineup after missing the win over
Buffalo.

U P N E X T
PITTSBURGH Steelers
coachMikeTomlinmeant tosay
he planned to educate his
teams younger players about
the franchises long-simmering
and largely one-sided ri-
valry with New England.
Only, Tomlin didnt use edu-
cate. At least, not at first, in-
stead letting forth a Freudian
slip that perhaps more accurate-
ly describes how the Steelers
feel about their longtime neme-
sis.
I am going to agitate our
guys, Tomlin said before cor-
recting himself.
No need. TomBrady has been
agitating the Steelers for a dec-
ade.
The Patriots quarterback has
spent the last10years shredding
one of the NFLs proudest de-
fenses, beating Pittsburgh six
times in seven meetings head-
ing into Sundays showdown at
Heinz Field that could be a pre-
view of the AFC championship
game.
New England (5-1) is rested
after a bye week. The Steelers
(5-2) are surgingafter a sluggish
start.
Yet it doesnt seem to matter
how Pittsburgh is playing when
thePatriots cometotown. Good
teams. OK teams. Rebuilding
teams. All of themlose to Brady.
Pittsburghs only victory over
New England with Brady under
center came in 2004 when the
Steelers ended the Patriots
NFL record 21-game winning
streak.
No biggie. The Patriots re-
turned to Heinz Field three
months later and won the AFC
championship game en route to
their second straight Super
Bowl title.
Running backs change. Wide
receivers change. Linemen
change. Coordinators change.
Bradys mastery over the Steel-
ers does not.
The two-time MVPs secret is
no secret to the Steelers. He
takes care of the ball hes
thrown three interceptions in
255 career attempts against the
Steelers and he doesnt back
down.
Weve got to minimize our
miscues and be physical and
play our game, Pittsburgh nose
tackle Casey Hampton said. I
thinka lot of people get involved
with trying to do too much
against them, instead of just do-
ing what you do. So, you have to
do what you
do and do it
well.
The Steel-
ers will proba-
bly have to do
it better than
that to slow
down the
NFLs top of-
fense, a unit
led by the for-
mer sixth-
round pick
whose great-
est moments
in his Hall-of-
Fame career
have come
Pittsburghs
expense.
Brady was
still finding
his footing af-
ter replacing
injured Drew Bledsoe in 2001
when he helped the Patriots to
an upset victory over the Steel-
ers in the AFC championship
game. He threw for just 115
yards inthat first meetingbefore
leaving with an ankle injury.
Most times against the Steel-
ers, he has that number by the
half.
Hes won four straight against
Pittsburgh, averaging 332 yards
passing in the process, includ-
ing a 350-yard, three-touch-
down performance in a 39-26
victory here last year.
I tell youthat the times weve
beaten them, weve had to play
very, very, very goodgames, and
we have, Brady said. I think
thats probably what I am most
proud of. Some of our greatest
games that weve ever played
have been against them and
thats just the level of execu-
tion.
Something that rarely chang-
es regardless of who surrounds
Brady in the huddle.
Therearecertainplays inour
offense that Ive literally run
thousands of times, Brady said.
Youmake a lot of mistakes over
the course of those plays and
you learn from them and hope-
fully you dont make them
again.
He rarely makes themagainst
the Steelers, who stress they re-
spect Brady but they dont fear
him.
The Steelers have won three
straight games toclimbintofirst
in the tight AFC North. A re-
match with Baltimore who
whipped Pittsburgh 35-7 in the
season-opener looms next
week.
It might as well be next year.
If youre in this locker room
and youre thinking about Balti-
more, youhave a problem, safe-
ty Ryan Clark said.

BRAD THIESSEN
Penguins goalie
Standing in net, Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins goaltender Brad
Thiessen gets a perspective of the
game thats different from his team-
mates. He sees plays develop in
front of him and he gets a first-hand
glimpse at how a skilled forward
maneuvers into the offensive zone
or how a defenseman works the
point on the power play.
Because Thiessens position af-
fords him a unique perspective of
the game, he knows exactly how his
team would look if he were a gener-
al manager for a day.
Id have a couple of high-flying
forward, plenty of good D and a
good goalie, he said. The way they
play would resemble our style.
So just who would Thiessen pick
to fill those slots and play that style
if he were a fantasy hockey GM?
How about a set of twins, a couple
of familiar faces, a few superstars, a
legend in the making and one of the
greatest to ever lace up the skates.
Forward Daniel Sedin (Vancouv-
er) He puts up points all the time.
Defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom
(Detroit) Hes the best at every-
thing, points and defense.
Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury
(Pittsburgh) He can get you a lot of
points in fantasy hockey.
Power Play Specialist Henrik
Sedin (Vancouver) Now I have
them both.
Penalty Kill Specialist Ryan
Kesler (Vancouver) Hes a good
penalty killer and is able to score
shorthanded. He works hard, flies
around and blocks shots.
Shootout Specialist Corey Per-
ry (Anaheim) Fifty goals. Hes a
good sniper.
Enforcer Deryk Engelland (Pitts-
burgh)
Pest/Agitator Alexandre Bur-
rows (Vancouver)
Head coach Barry Trotz (Nash-
ville) He never gets fired.
All-Time Great Wayne Gretzky
(Edmonton, Los Angeles, St. Louis,
N.Y. Rangers) Does he really need
an explanation?
-- Tom Venesky
FANTASY GM
That prowess on special
teams has earned Gibbons
plenty of time on the power
play and penalty kill with the
Penguins this season, some-
thing that Hynes said makes
him a versatile player.
Hes a dynamic player.
Brians a really good puck han-
dler and he makes others
around him better because he
has good vision and can move
the puck, Hynes said, adding
Gibbons speed is similar to
that of former Penguin Chris
Conner.
If he can get the type of
strength Chris Conner had,
hell continue to make steps,
tention on his rookie season in
the AHL.
And its been a good one.
After the first seven games,
Gibbons has two goals and
three assists. One of his goals
was a shorthandedtallyandthe
other came on the power play.
That success on the special
teams isnt a really a surprise
considering Gibbons saw ex-
tensive time in those areas at
Boston College, and he put up
points when playing in those
roles.
During his senior season,
Gibbons scored seven power
play goals and added four more
shorthanded.
When Brian Gibbons came
to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins at the end of last
season, he had a choice: hit
the ice or hit the books.
Gibbons, 23, had just signed
a two-year contract with the
Penguins after finishing up his
senior season at Boston Col-
lege. But while his college
hockey ca-
reer had
ended, there
were still
some classes
that re-
mained.
Gibbons had
a few courses
to finish up
in order to
earn a degree
in marketing.
Hockey or
education?
Gibbons
chose the
latter.
I had been
at Boston
College for
three-and-a-
half years,
and put a lot
of time and
effort into
my school-
work, he
said. I chose
to go to Boston College for a
reason. Not only for the hock-
ey, but for the education as
well.
So while former college
teammates such as Cam At-
kinson (currently with Spring-
field), Jimmy Hayes (Rock-
ford) and Joe Whitney (Alba-
ny) put school on hold to get
into a handful of AHL games,
Gibbons headed back to the
classroom and earned his
degree.
I knew I would get my
chance the next year, he said.
Sure it wouldve been nice to
get a few games in, but while I
was here for a week (last
season) I really learned a lot
about practices, what the
coaches look for and how hard
I would have to work. It was a
good teaching tool for me.
Gibbons doesnt regret his
decision and there are a num-
ber of reasons behind it. The
Penguins were wrapping up a
franchise-record 58-win sea-
son and the roster was loaded
with talented players.
I didnt want to interrupt
that, Gibbons said. They
had a lot of good players here
and I dont think I wouldve
been a game changer.
Also factoring into Gibbons
decision was he was still on
scholarship at BC and could
finish up his classes and get
his degree without having to
pay for it. He also wanted to
wrap his academic career up
in the spring so he could
spend all summer focusing on
training for the upcoming
season.
I just wanted to stay the
extra two months, put the
work in and get it done, Gib-
bons said.
But there was yet a bigger
factor that influenced Gib-
bons decision to get his de-
gree.
I know my parents wanted
me to finish, he said. It was
also very important to me
knowing whenever the time
comes, after hockey, I have a
degree that will help with my
future.
Head coach John Hynes said
the team respected Gibbons
decision to go back to school
and said its a reflection of the
type of person he is.
Education is important to
him, Hynes said. Hes an ex-
cellent player whos going to
have a bright future inthe game
of hockey, but I think he also
has his eye on the long-term.
With his goal of earning a de-
gree accomplished, Gibbons
has been able to focus all his at-
Hynes added.
While success has come
quickly for Gibbons early in his
professional career, he clearly
isnt satisfied. Always wanting
to improve, the 5-8, 165-pound
Gibbons said he has work to do
with his play in the defensive
zone, especially when it comes
todefendingagainst bigger and
stronger players.
Ill learn from my experi-
ence and by watching guys like
Bryan Lerg and Ben Street do
it, he said.
And learning, as he proved at
the end of last season, is some-
thing Gibbons does particular-
ly well.
Penguins forward Brian Gibbons finished his degree after his college
playing days ended. Now, hes learning on the fly in the AHL.

Goaltender Patrick Killeencontinued
his strong play in net last weekend for
the Nailers, stopping18 of 20 shots for a
3-2 win over Elmira. On the season, Kil-
len is 3-0-0 and has stopped 54 of the 58
shots he faced. The Nailers are a perfect
3-0-0-0 heading into this weekend.
Coincidentally, Mountain Top native
Martin Moucha, who was at Wilkes-
Barre/Scrantons training camp, suited
up with Elmira for last weekends game.
Moucha had an assist and was a plus-1
on the night.
The Nailers faced Gwinnett on Friday
and hosted Trenton on Saturday night.

MARTINSVILLE, Va.
Roush Fenway Racing team-
mates Carl Edwards and Matt
Kenseth couldnt have asked for a
better scenariothanrainwashing
out qualifying for Sundays race
at Martinsville Speedway.
Edwards had never qualified
better than seventh on the 0.526-
mile oval, and Kenseth had never
qualified better than 14th before
weather handed them the front
row spots Saturday.
Qualifying, I think, is one of
the most important parts of this
race and its no secret thats been
a tough thing for me and Matt as
well, soI thinkits best-case for us
that we get to start on the front
row, and even better is the pit
stall selection, Edwards said.
With only four races left in the
season, and a lead of just 14
points over Kenseth, 18over Brad
Keselowski and 19 over Tony
Stewart, Edwards will take all the
help he can get. He has four
top-10 finishes in his last seven
starts at the oldest track inthe se-
ries, while Kenseth has seven top
10s in 23 starts. Neither has won
here, whilesomeof theother con-
tenders have.
Stewart has won twice, but not
since 2006, and five-time defend-
ing series champion Jimmie
Johnson, who is 50 points off the
lead, has been to Victory Lane six
times, last in 2009.
Of course, apart from being
able to select the pit stall at the
front of pit road, giving him un-
impeded access back onto the
track, the other contenders will
start up front, too.
Its nearly impossible to get
through 500 laps around the pa-
per clip-shaped oval without sus-
taining some damage to your car,
and with a poor track record, Ed-
wards team will try to build off
the setup Kenseth used for his
sixth-place runhere inthe spring.
Best-case
for Kenseth,
Edwards
By HANK KURZ Jr.
AP Sports Writer
MARTINSVILLE, Va.
Kevin Harvick and Greg Biffle
had a run-in on the track when
the Sprint Cup Series got in its
only practice after the rain stop-
ped Saturday, and then had
words as the confrontation
spilled over into the garage
later.
On the track, Biffle ran into
the back of Harvicks car. Har-
vick, who is fifth in the series
standings 26 points behind
leader Carl Edwards, later hit
Biffle in the back.
The drivers later stopped at
the exit of Turn 2, then headed
for the garage, where Harvick
pulled in alongside Biffle, then
ahead, momentarily blocking
Biffles access to his stall. Biffle
turned in anyway, clipping the
back of Harvicks car.
After climbing from his car,
Biffle headed to Harvicks ga-
rage stall, drawing a crowd of
team members and officials,
even though the conversation
appeared to become amicable.
Biffles teammates, Edwards
and Matt Kenseth, are 1-2 in the
point standings.
OVER FOR FIVE-TIME?
Jimmie Johnsons six victories
at Martinsville are second
among active drivers to team-
mate Jeff Gordons seven, but
Johnson doesnt necessarily
view Sundays race as his best
chance to make a dent in his
50-point deficit to leader Carl
Edwards with four races left.
He figures that came last
week at Talladega, but his strat-
egy of racing at the back of the
pack to avoid a big crash, and
then charging to the front at the
end was foiled by cautions.
Now, its anyones guess.
As long as we are still mathe-
matically in it, Im not going to
give up hope. I just never been
one to lay down on something
or to quit and not try; we have
four races left on the schedule,
stuff can happen, Johnson said.
That window of opportunity is
getting smaller and smaller,
especially with these last two
weeks, but it is not over until it
is over.
With six drivers ahead of him
in the standings, he knows his
odds are long.
Its one thing if there were
one or two guys ahead of me,
my odds would improve at that
point. But its impossible to
know whats going to happen
and Ive just got to go out and
try to lead as many laps as I can,
win as often as I can, and see
where everyone elses luck
goes, he said.
Kurt Busch, who is eighth, 52
points behind, thinks their
Chase already is over.
Were 50 points back, which
is the equivalent of being over a
race back, he said. The old
system, that would be 200

can gain that in four races.
SHORT TRACK TEMPERS:
Timothy Peters and Brendan
Gaughan dont like each other.
The Truck Series drivers had
issues at the end of Saturdays
race, and a confrontation after
they climbed from their cars had
Peters listening and then laugh-
ing as Gaughan stormed away.
I cant help but laugh, he
said. I guess he just wants me
to pull over for him.
Gaughan said the two have a
long-running feud that wont go
away.
Him and I have had a lot of
problems for a lot of years, and
he just added another notch to
it, he said. When it does come
back, it might hurt a little bit. I
would like to handle it like a
man, but I think he would be
too afraid.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. Den-
ny Hamlin ducked inside points
leader Austin Dillon and four-
time TruckSeries championRon
Hornaday Jr. after a restart with
14 laps to go and went on to win
at Martinsville Speedway on Sat-
urday.
Hamlins first victory in the se-
ries, in a truck owned by Kyle
Busch, made himthe 23rd driver
to win a race in each of NAS-
CARs three national series.
It really means a lot to me to
be able to get my very first Truck
victory, he said. I knew if I
could win a race today, it was go-
ing to propel me hopefully into
tomorrow, and if I didnt win, I
would have been pretty disap-
pointed because I had a great
truck, he said.
It was harder than he thought
it might be after giving up the
lead hed held for 54 laps by pit-
ting for tires with other leaders
with 70 laps to go. When he got
back out, he was 18th.
I just gave it everything I had
those last 50 laps the hardest
last 50 laps Ive ever driven at
Martinsville, Hamlin said. Hes
won four Cup Series races on the
0.526-mile oval.
Hornaday, seeking his fifth se-
ries championship, finished sec-
ond and Dillon was third. He re-
mainedthe points leader by11
over James Buescher and15 over
Hornaday and Johnny Sauter
with two races remaining, but
felt that he cost himself or Horn-
aday a victory.
We gave it to him. I did, Dil-
lon said of Hamlins inside pass
out of Turn 2. If I could have
made the first turn, it wouldhave
been either me or Ron in Victory
Lane, I think.
The series races next at Texas
on Nov. 4 and finishes at Home-
stead two weeks later.

champion Petra Kvitova will play
Victoria Azarenka in the WTA
Championships final on Sunday
with the No. 2 ranking on the line
along with a $1.5 million pay-
check.
Kvitova, a Czech lefthander
with booming serves, rallied to
defeat U.S. Open winner Saman-
tha Stosur 5-7, 6-3, 6-3 in the
semifinals Saturday, while
fourth-ranked Azarenka defeated
Vera Zvonareva 6-2, 6-3.
Kvitova beat Azarenka in the
semifinals en route to winning
her first Grand Slamtitle at Wim-
bledon this year. Shes counting
on a psychological edge after de-
feating Azarenka in both the
matches they played this season.
Hopefully, it will be better for
me, mentally, Kvitova said. We
know each other very well.
Azarenka said shed need to
blunt Kvitovas powerful serve
when they meet at the Sinan Er-
dem Dome in Istanbul, which is
hosting the championships for
the first time. Some 12,000 peo-
ple attended the semifinals.
She really goes for her shots,
said Azarenka, who has won
three titles this season. Sosome-
times she doesnt find the
rhythm. But at the same time,
she can be on and just hit win-
ners.
Against Stosur, Kvitova hit big
serves and groundstrokes and
moved to the net. In the first set,
Stosur capitalizedonapair of ser-
vice breaks and her own strong
kick serve.
Kvitova took early leads in the
second and third sets with a pow-
er game that has propelled her
from outside the top 30 at the
start of the year to No. 3.
It was very tough to break
her, Kvitova said. It was a great
match for us.
Azarenkas solid ground-
strokes forced errors fromZvona-
reva, who was never able to gain
momentum in the match. Zvona-
reva held two break points in the
last game, but could not convert
them.
One game in the second set
lasted nearly12 minutes and end-
ed when the Russian held serve
to tie at 2-all, but Azarenka broke
her next two service games.
The score doesnt say much
about the game, Azarenka said.
It was important to be consis-
tent andaggressive, findtheright
balance.
At 21, Kvitova was the young-
est of the four semifinalists and
hadnt droppeda set inthe round-
robin phase of the $4.9 million
WTA Championships. She beat
Stosur in their two previous
meetings, including a tough
third-round win at the Australian
Open this year and a comfortable
victory at the 2008 French Open.

Samantha Stosur returns to Petra Kvitova during the first semi-
final of the WTA championships in Istanbul, Turkey, on Saturday.
Brittney Griner and Baylor are
starting the season where they
hope to end it at No. 1.
The Lady Bears are ranked at
the top for the first time in the
preseason womens basketball
poll by The Associated Press.
Baylor started last year at No. 2
before ascending to No. 1in early
January for the first time in
school history. The Lady Bears
finished with a No. 3 ranking.
Certainly wed rather it was
the last ranking, but its great rec-
ognition for our program and
Baylor University, coach Kim
Mulkey said. Regardless of
where youre ranked at the begin-
ning of the season its a positive
for your university. Well embrace
it in such a way and understand
that it doesnt win basketball
games.
Baylor received 33 of 40 first-
place votes Saturday from a na-
tional media panel. The Lady
Bears became the first Big 12
school to be ranked No. 1 to start
the season since Texas in 1985
and 1986.
Notre Dame drew six first-
place votes and was second, with
Tennessee, Connecticut and
Stanford rounding out the first
five. The No. 2 ranking is the
Irishs best since the final poll of
2001.
The Lady Bears couldmeet the
Irishinthe PreseasonWNITfinal
in mid-November. They also play
the Lady Vols and Huskies before
the New Year.
If you have a team capable of
playing them, go play them,
Mulkey said. This schedules ex-
tremely tough the toughest
since Ive been at Baylor.
Notre Dame returns four start-
ers, including sensational guard
Skylar Diggins, fromlast seasons
squad that lost to Texas A&M in
the national championshipgame.
Tennessee retains most of the
teamthat swept the SEClast sea-
son for the conference title. The
Lady Vols fell to Notre Dame in
the NCAAregional finals last sea-
son, missing a Final Four trip for
the third year in a row.
Theyve never gone four sea-
sons without playing in the Final
Four, but coach Pat Summitt has
said her players seem even more
determined to win a title since
she revealed shed been diag-
nosed with early onset dementia.
Penn State is ranked 12th. The
last time the Nittany Lions were
ranked this high was in the final
poll of 2004, whentheywerefifth.

SOTOGRANDE, Spain
Sergio Garcia put himself in
position for a second straight
European Tour victory on Sat-
urday, shooting a 4-under 67 at
the Andalucia Masters to take a
two-stroke lead after the third
round.
Garcia had to remove his
shoes and socks for a shot dur-
ing an eventful round that
moved him to 6 under 207,
ahead of Miguel Angel Jimenez
(68) and Christian Nilsson, who
matched the lowest round this
weekend with a 65.
Overnight leader Richie Ram-
say bogeyed the last two holes
for a 73 that left him three
strokes adrift.
The 31st ranked Garcia won
the Castello Masters last week-
end to end a nearly three-year
title drought.
Garcia nearly hit a hole-in-one
at No. 6 as he collected one of
six birdies at the famed Valder-
rama course.
Defending champion Graeme
McDowell was at 14 over after a
round of 81.
Shanghai Masters
SHANGHAI U.S. Open
champion Rory McIlroy shot a
7-under 65 to increase his lead
to three strokes after the third
round of the Shanghai Masters.
The 22-year-old made seven
birdies in another bogey-free
round on Lake Malarens Jack
Nicklaus-designed Masters
course to finish at 18-under 198.
Anthony Kim was second
after a 65. Noh Seung-yul was 14
under after a 67.
Ian Poulter (67) and Hunter
Mahan (68) were 11 under, Lee
Westwood (70) and Geoff Ogil-
vy (66) were another stroke
back, and Robert Karlsson (72),
Padraig Harrington (73) and
Y.E. Yang (68) were 6 under.

ST. LOUIS Albert Pujols
tried to give away nothing during
the celebration, tried to stay in
the moment. But what a moment
it was.
Getting another taste of that
championship feeling surely will
tip the scales in favor of the St.
Louis Cardinals at least a little bit
when it comes time to talk con-
tract.
Obviously, right now a lot of
things go through my head and
thinking about the whole sea-
son, Pujols saidat the podiumaf-
ter the Cardinals won their 11th
World Series.
Probably like two or three
weeks from now, thats when Im
really going to be sitting down
andsaying, Wow, wherewewere,
and now were the 2011 World
Champions. Its unbelievable.
What remained of Friday after
the Cardinals finishedoff the Tex-
as Rangers in Game 7 was for sa-
voring one of the most unlikely
comebacks in major league histo-
ry. Hundreds of fans peacefully
roamed the downtown streets
well into the night.
Truly a dream come true,
manager Tony La Russa said. Its
hard to really imagine it actually
happened.
On Sunday, the team will bask
inadulationonce againwitha vic-
tory parade scheduled for late af-
ternoon. In 2006, the team esti-
mated between 300,000 and a
half-milllion people lined the
streets.
Five players remain from 2006,
when the Cardinals backed into
the postseason as an 83-win team
and then got hot when key play-
ers got healthy. Pujols, Yadier
Molina, Skip Schumaker and
Chris Carpenter and Adam
Wainwright remain from that
team, which also was lightly re-
garded.
Cant top 2011.
This team is unbelievable,
Carpenter said after beating the
Rangers for the second time.
Most amazing team Ive ever
been a part of.
General manager John Moze-
liak takes special satisfaction in
the championship. The moves he
made at the trade deadline for
shortstop Rafael Furcal, starter
Edwin Jackson and three reliev-
ers paid off.
All you can do is live and die
with your club, Mozeliak said.
Tosit herenowandbeontop, its
just a wonderful experience.
Mozeliak cant celebrate for
long, though.
I would say I have about a 72-
hour window to enjoy this, Mo-
zeliak said. And then right back
it Monday.
A decision looms: Can the Car-
dinals persuade Pujols to stay?
Would extra millions he might
make elsewhere compensate for
shedding the role of local icon?
He seemed proud about his
place in St. Louis after Game 7.
It doesnt matter the numbers,
it doesnt matter the records, it
doesnt matter the money that
you make, Pujols said. What
matters is to raise that trophy and
to be able to bring that smile to
the city of St. Louis.
And not just the city of St.
Louis, but all our fans around the
world.
Mozeliak has more than just
Pujols on his plate. But after the
postseason, the roster just
seemed so much deeper.
October brought out new stars
in third baseman David Freese,
the MVP of both the NLCS and
World Series, and Allen Craig,
whose big bat helped the team
overcome injuries to cleanup hit-
ter Matt Holliday.
Freese was the Cardinals most
dangerous hitter throughout the
playoffs.

NEW YORK Anyone who
has been to a car dealership, or
bought ahome, understandshow
negotiating works.
One side offers a number, the
other counters, and they meet
somewhere in the middle and
make a deal.
Thats not the way its working
in the NBAs labor standoff
evenwithpotentially$2billionat
stake for each side.
Owners and players keep in-
sistingthey are ready andwilling
to make the necessary financial
step for an agreement. Yet talks
havebrokendowneachof thelast
two weeks with little movement
and the same type of answer:
Were here, theyre there, and
thats that.
That wont get players back on
the court or fans in the seats.
And with both sides so en-
trenched, it might be a question
of when, not if, another round of
cancellations will be necessary.
I dont know, Commissioner
David Stern said Friday when
asked about the next deadline.
We just had a difficult day. Well
go back, well go to the office
Mondayandseewhat todoabout
this big mess.
They could start with a phone
call to the players association to
schedule more talks, and the
sides likely will meet again soon.
But it will remainpointless if nei-
ther sideispreparedtooffer com-
promise.
Ownersareinsistent ona50-50
split of basketball-related in-
come. Players have proposed re-
ducing their guarantee from 57
percent downto52.5, sayingthat
will transfer more than $1.5 bil-
lion to owners over six years.
And when neither side would
go further Friday, NBA officials
saidunionexecutive director Bil-
ly Hunter ended the session.
Billy said, My phone is ring-
ing off the hook from agents and
players tellingme I cannot goun-
der 52percent andhesaidunless
youre willing to go there, we
have nothingtotalkabout, Dep-
uty Commissioner Adam Silver
said.
Thedifferencebetween50and
52.5percent isabout $100million
annually, based on last seasons
revenues, or $1 billion over the
course of the 10-year agreement
the NBAis seeking.
The cost of not making a deal?
We expect there to be a $2 bil-
lion loss for us for the loss of the
season, which we will then begin
to dig out from under and try to
get back, if there were a seasons
loss,Sternsaid. Andtheplayers
would lose $2 billion. Period.
The losses already have been
piling up. Stern said wiping out
the preseason schedule, which
would have ended Friday, cost
the league $200million. The first
month of real games adds anoth-
er couple hundred million, and
Hunter has saidmissinga month
would cost the players about
$350 million.
But thats not enough to make
players agree to a deal they say
would cost themmoney and lim-
it options in free agency.
We think we gave more than
enough, and thats what we con-
stantly said to them: Look, we
did what it was you said you
needed, we did it, Hunter said.
And now all of a sudden, every
time we did it, its like their eyes
got bigger andthey wantedmore
andmoreandmore. Sofinallywe
just had to shut it down and just
say it cant be.
Stern has made it clear that
owners future proposals could
be made with the losses in mind.
Players eventually will get their
money, just lessof it, but thedam-
age to businesses that rely onthe
game wont be recovered.
Thesidesaremuchcloserafter
threestraight days of meetings in
consecutive weeks. Besides the
BRI split, the list of remaining
items is down to just a handful,
such as the ability of teams over
the luxury tax threshold to use
themidlevel exceptionor partici-
pate in sign-and-trade deals.
Those are important to play-
ers. The top-spending teams are
mostly the ones in the biggest
markets, and players want to
know teams in the most desired
cities wont be prevented from
bidding on them.

Reservoirs open to public fishing
Pennsylvania American Water and
the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Com-
mission (PFBC) announced the
opening of five Pennsylvania Amer-
ican Water reservoirs in Lackawanna
County for public fishing. The five
new reservoirs that will be open
include Curtis, Dunmore No. 1, Elm-
hurst, Griffin, and Maple Lake. A
ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled
for Oct. 27 was cancelled due to
weather conditions.
The creation of these new public
fishing areas was the result of a part-
nership between Pennsylvania Amer-
ican Water and the PFBC.
We are very fortunate in this area
to benefit from so many natural
resources, said Dan Hufton, senior
director, production, Pennsylvania
American Water.
This is a fantastic gift to anglers
and residents in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania, said John Arway, Exec-
utive Director of the Fish and Boat
Commission. Were excited any
time we can open waterways for
people to enjoy the sport of fishing.
To make five available at one time is
simply remarkable.
Shoreline fishing at the reservoirs
will be allowed, but wading will not
be permitted. Boats will not be per-
mitted on the waterways. Reservoirs
will be closed to fishing between the
hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Common-
wealth inland fishing rules and regu-
lations and PFBC property regu-
lations apply. The areas open to
fishing have been posted with signs
indicating the boundaries. Local
anglers can expect to find several
different and popular sportfish, in-
cluding bass, trout, perch and other
panfish.
All five reservoirs are located in
Lackawanna County: Curtis (Madi-
son Township); Dunmore No. 1
(Dunmore); Elmhurst (Roaring
Brook Township); Griffin (South
Abington and Scott townships); and
Maple Lake (Spring Brook Town-
ship.) They join two other reservoirs
in Northeast Pennsylvania previously
opened for shoreline fishing: Com-
fort Pond in Susquehanna County,
and Ceasetown Reservoir, located in
Jackson and Lehman townships,
Luzerne County.
Fly fishing film tour
Trout Unlimited will sponsor the
2012 edition of the Fly Fishing Film
Tour -- the largest film tour of its
kind -- with dozens of stops from
coast to coast and throughout Cana-
da.
The Fly Fishing Film Tour reac-
hes out to the entire fly fishing realm
and offers a bit of an escape to those
of us who unfortunately spend more
time dreaming than we do fishing,
said Chris Hunt, TUs director of
communications. Thats the audi-
ence that needs to hear TUs conser-
vation message. It is part of becom-
ing that well-rounded, complete
angler we all want to be.
This years tour stops will be for-
mally announced in December by
the producers. Film screenings will
start early in 2012 and likely contin-
ue through next fall.
This is a good partnership, said
Chris Keig of the Fly Fishing Film
Tour. "We believe that our audience
truly believes in conservation and
this partnership will allow them to
get out and help save and protect
their home waters through their
local TU chapters and conservation
groups.
Fly Fishing Film Tour screenings
are very well-attended events, simply
because the quality of the filmmak-
ing on display is unmatched. Many
of the events take place in more of a
concert atmosphere, where anglers
of all ages mingle with fishing bud-
dies and take in some of the most
breathtaking movie-making available
today.
Anyone interested in organizing a
production should call 303-815-1070.

The third and final hearing on
Sunday hunting was held in Har-
risburg on Thursday before
members of the House Game and
Fisheries Committee.
The next step in the process,
according to state Rep. Ed Sta-
back, who is minority chairman
of the committee, is todetermine
if there is enough support to
move House Bill 1760 to the floor
for a vote. HB 1760 would give
the Pennsylvania Game Commis-
sion the ability to implement
Sunday hunting.
The issue has attracted both
supporters and opponents, and
Staback said there are three pos-
sible options that could slightly
change the bill and increase its
chances of being passed.
The first option would be to
limit Sunday hunting to private
land only. That would be a hard
sell, Stabacksaid, because not ev-
ery hunter has access to private
property.
A second option would limit
Sunday hunting to private land
and State Game Lands, and not
allow it on State Forest lands.
Staback said he could support
such a change because it would
still keep some public property
open for Sunday hunting while
allowing non-hunters to utilize
state forests on Sundays.
A third option would make
trespassing a primary offense,
Staback said, adding as such it
wouldbe enforceable by the PGC
and would lessen the concerns of
private landowners opposed to
Sunday hunting.
Currently, someone has to
commit aprimaryGameLawvio-
lation first, and then trespass can
be tacked on if the person is tres-
passing, Staback said. Trespass
right nowis asecondaryoffense.
Eight individuals testified dur-
ing the five-hour hearing, and an
updated report on the financial
impact of Sunday hunting was
presented.
The first financial report on
Sunday hunting was written in
2005. That report, according to
Staback, determined that Sun-
day hunting would generate
more than $629 million for the
states economy and create 5,400
jobs.
The recent report which was
based on data from2010, predict-
ed that Sunday hunting would
generate more than $800 million
for the economy, create 7,400
jobs and bring in $57 million in
new tax revenue.
After the hearing, the Pennsyl-
vania Farm Bureau issued a re-
lease reaffirming its strong op-
position to Sunday hunting and
questioned why the bill was still
being pushed when it lacks the
support of most Pennsylvania
residents.
Staback said the Game and
Fisheries Committee will now
decide if the bill should be
amended to include on of the
three options, along with garner-
ing support, before it moves to
the floor.
That should happen soon if a
Sunday hunting vote is to be-
come a reality.
If we dont move this by the
end of this year, then Sunday
hunting is dead, Staback said.

discussion

The Game and Fisheries
Committee held its final
hearing for Sunday hunting.

Andy Bensing offers a pretty good
reason why tracking wounded deer with
dogs should be allowed in Pennsylvania.
One man with a dog that doesnt bark,
is leashed at all times and is on the exact
trail of that deer is far less disturbance
than eight guys grid searching in the
middle of the woods on a Saturday after-
noon, he said.
And it gets better.
If the deer is dead, 90
percent of the time the dog
will find it, Bensing said.
Morally and ethically, theres
no downside to it.
Bensing is the director of
the 125-member group Deer
Recovery of Pennsylvania and
president of the national
organization United Blood
Trackers. Both groups are
hoping that legislators will soon allow
hunters to use dogs to track wounded
harvests in Pennsylvania, joining a list of
34 other states where the practice is
allowed.
House Bill 881 would permit the use of
a leashed dog to track a deer that has
been legally killed or wounded during
the season. The bill has been referred to
the House Game and Fisheries Commit-
tee and is scheduled to come up for a
vote to move it to the House floor on
Nov. 2.
Were looking forward to that, Bens-
ing said.
Although he cant track deer in Penn-
sylvania, Bensing does travel to Mary-
land and New Jersey, when called, to
help hunters find wounded deer. He uses
one of his two wirehaired dachshunds to
do the work.
Last year, Bensing took 47 calls, trav-
eled 6,500 miles and found 17 deer.
Each call follows a similar pattern, he
said.
A hunter shoots a deer, tries to find it
and cant. He gets his friends to help and
pretty soon they cant find any-
more blood or tracks, Bensing
said. Thats where the dog
comes in.
Most of the time, Bensing
arrives within 12-24 hours with
his dog. They start at the loca-
tion where the deer was hit and
go over the trail that the hunter
already found.
At that point the dog is con-
necting that wound scent to that
specific animal, he said.
Once the dog is connected, it can usu-
ally continue to track the deer even if the
blood trail vanishes. At the same time, by
watching his dog Bensing can determine
the travel pattern of the deer and predict
if it is recoverable. A wounded deer that
is being followed will generally travel in
loops to lose its pursuer, Bensing said.
If the deer is making a really small
circle a 150-yard radius, thats a mortal-
ly wounded animal, he said. It doesnt
have the strength to go very far.
If the loops are a half-mile in diame-
ter, chances are that deer will make it.
Tracking deer with dogs is popular in
the South, Bensing said, and crucial
because the warmer temperatures re-
quire a quicker recovery before the meat
spoils.
But even in Pennsylvania, when the
temperatures are cool for the majority of
the archery and rifle deer seasons, using
dogs makes just as much sense, Bensing
said, simply because it increases the
chances of finding and recovering the
animal.
The misery of losing an animal is not
a good feeling to any hunter, he said.
A tracking dog can help avoid such
misery.
According to Bensing, is a deer was hit
and ran before it died, a tracking dog can
find it nine out of 10 times.
Bensing said the use of a tracking dog
doesnt require much in the way of regu-
lations. The dog should be on a leash at
all times, he said, and that is a require-
ment in most states that allow the use of
tracking dogs for deer.
Theres really no downside to this,
Bensing said. The animal rights people
dont even argue with us.
Who let the dogs out? It might be the state legislature, as House
Bill 881 would allow for the use of recovery dogs while hunting.

Andy Bensing has years of experience using
dogs to track wounded deer in other states
where the practice is legal. During that
time, Bensing has developed a pretty good
sense of how a wounded deer acts. Hes
tracked enough deer to form an interesting
opinion on the longstanding belief that a
wounded deer instinctively heads to water.
Bensing said thats not entirely true.
As trackers were in agreement that theres
not much to that, he said. We do find deer
in water, but usually theyre seeking the
thick cover that surrounds the water. Gen-
erally there is thick cover surrounding
streams and swamps, and a wounded deer
will cross water to get to those areas.
I dont hold much credence to the wound-
ed deer to water belief.
D E E R W I L L S E E K C O V E R
An amendment to House
Bill 881 would allow the use
of dogs to track deer. Heres
how the amendment reads:
It shall be lawful to make
use of a dog to pursue, chase,
scatter and track wild turkeys
during the fall wild turkey
season or to make use of a
leashed blood-tracking dog to
track a white-tailed deer in an
attempt to recover an animal
which has been legally killed
or wounded during any open
season for white-tailed deer.
The bill still prohibits the
use of a dog for hunting, pur-
suing, harassing, chasing,
scattering or injuring big
game.
The amended bill is cur-
rently before the House Game
and Fisheries Committee.
State Rep. Ed Staback, who
is the minority chair of the
committee, said he supports
the concept of using dogs to
track deer but has a few con-
cerns.
The problem I have is
theres nothing to certify that
a tracking dog works in a
silent mode. Using dogs to
find wounded deer isnt a bad
idea, but I dont think other
hunters in the woods would
appreciate a barking dog, he
said.
Staback also said if the deer
is found outside of legal hunt-
ing hours and isnt dead, the
law may have to be changed
to allow the dog handler to
carry a sidearm to dispatch
the animal. Such a change
may be difficult to accom-
plish, he said.
Amendment would allow for use of dogs

When the city of Chesapeake,
Va., considered closing a crum-
bling, 80-year-old bridge over the
Elizabeth River in 2008, local offi-
cials knew that neither the state
nor the federal government would
pay for a replacement. Just tear-
ing down the old one would cost
millions of dollars. So they sold it.
We paid them $10, said Bob
Hellman, one of the investors, but
what we gave them wasnt just
$10.
Hellmans investors group,
American Bridge Partners,
agreed to remove the old bridge
and to build a brand-new one,
solely withprivate money. Tolls of
about $2 a trip, upfromthe old75-
cent fee, will pay back the compa-
nys $130 million investment in
the new South Norfolk Jordan
Bridge, due to open in the spring.
This is a Christmas gift for the
city, said Chesapeake Mayor
Alan Krasnoff.
Its a gift cities and states are
asking for more than ever. The
goal is not to raise cash by selling
public infrastructure but to tap in-
to the private sector for money to
build bridges, roads or tunnels
possibly faster and cheaper than
the government otherwise could.
There are at least 70 privately
funded and managed infrastruc-
ture projects across the United
States in various stages of devel-
opment, according to a list com-
piled by the lawfirmAllen &Ove-
ry. These are part of a vast net-
work of roads, bridges and tun-
nels to say nothing of the
subways, ports, airports and wa-
ter systems crying out for at-
tention.
Consider this: Over the past 60
years, the United States has built
a 46,876-mile federal highway sys-
tem that is now in dire need of re-
pair. As a result, states have hadto
pour more of their transportation
dollars into fixing aging highways
and even in good times have little
or nothing left over for new con-
struction.
The Great Recession made that
harder. In many cases, financially
strapped states and cities have lit-
tle choice but to turn to the pri-

CREVE COEUR, Mo.
Monsanto Co., whose geneti-
cally modified corn and soy-
beans have reshaped Americas
heartland and rallied a nation
of fast-food foes, wants to revo-
lutionize the produce aisle.
The agribusiness giant al-
ready has quietly stepped into
the marketplace with produce
grown from its seeds.
Grocery customers are chop-
ping its onions that produce
fewer tears, stir-frying its broc-
coli that decreases cholesterol
and biting into tiny orange to-
matoes that last longer on the
shelf.
Soon, people will be thump-
ing melons bred to be a single
serving and shucking sweet
corn genetically modified to
enable farmers to spray the
fields with the companys weed
killer, Roundup.
To do this, its marrying con-
ventional breeding methods
with its vast technological re-
sources to bring about changes
in fruits and vegetables in
months or years, rather than in
decades.
Monsantos goal: to dom-
inate todays $3 billion global
market for produce seeds,
much as it already has done
with corn and soybeans.
This isnt a hobby. ... Were
serious about it, said Monsan-
to Chief Executive Hugh
Grant, who expects the compa-
nys vegetable seed revenue to
rival its $1.5 billion soybean
business in the coming decade.
The move has raised the
hackles of some environmental
and organic farming groups
that fear it will ultimately
squeeze out smaller, independ-
ent vegetable seed firms.
They also worry that the
company will use technology
to introduce revolutionary new
genes into vegetable plants,

W
ith budget cutting all the rage
in Washington, it might be
instructive to look back at a
project that ran through millions in
taxpayer funds, shifted focus in mid-
stream and produced a self-congrat-
ulatory legacy report long on rhetoric
but short on concrete accomplish-
ments.
Wall Street West was born from
disruption in financial markets caused
by the 9/11 tragedy. Two years after
terrorists slammed hijacked jets into
the World Trade Center, federal agen-
cies that oversee the nations financial
system suggested (remember that
verb) that stock and bond exchanges
and traders have backup systems out-
side of the New York Metropolitan
area. That arrangement could poten-
tially avoid a shutdown like the week-
long hiatus that followed the attacks.
Some local economic development
and education leaders sensed an oppor-
tunity. To allow instantaneous copying
of information, the backup facilities
had to be within 100 miles of New
York, an area that included the nine
Pennsylvania counties that would make
up Wall Street West. Congressman
Paul Kanjorski, who held a position of
influence on a financial services com-
mittee, already had a blueprint in
place.
It all came together in a successful
pitch for a federal grant that would
provide $15 million over three years. It
seemed the area was on the brink of an
economic renaissance, as visions of
data centers, plush offices and high
salaries danced in our heads. It was up
to us only to provide a cadr of trained
workers to show up for the jobs that
were on the way.
There was one big problem, though;
as much sense as the recommendations
made, the target firms did not have to
implement them. The leaders of Wall
Street West, then, were left with a
build it and they will come strategy.
But little was built and few jobs
came.
One of the few concrete examples of
success is profiled in the opening pages
of the legacy report. A local employee
of Site2, a business continuity compa-
ny in Scranton, interned at the compa-
ny while studying at Johnson College,
with his second year funded by a Wall
Street West program. He eventually
completed his studies and was hired.
Hes still there, said Site2 co-founder
Mark Magdon.
But Site2 isnt here because of Wall
Street West, and neither is any other
company that comes to mind. Site2
started in 2004 in my basement in
Archbald, Magdon said. And while the
firm was part of the Wall Street West
milieu, nothing really evolved.
Today that heralded employee, who
Magdon said hit the ground running
because of his training, is one of four at
Site2. And the company, recognizing
reality, is not after huge financial ser-
vices firms but smaller support busi-
nesses that need its services but not
the expensive high-speed backup envi-
sioned by Wall Street West.
So, was Wall Street West a classic
boondoggle or a good idea whose
promise was stymied by the Great
Recession? To me, its a little of both,
and a lesson for the future.
Just as in business, government is
going to miss its target from time to
time. This, though, seemed like a clas-
sic case of too much money made
available with too little discipline.
Handing out millions to local offi-
cials with only squishy dreams as the
goal is no longer acceptable. What may
be is targeting funds like this toward
real training for real jobs that exist in
the real economy. I hope the leadership
in Washington grasps this soon, before
its too late.

In Chesapeake, they were
looking at our bridge versus no
bridge, said Hellman, who
previously invested in pipe-
lines, coal, landfills and even
cemeteries. Thats ultimately
what youre looking at in many
of these circumstances.
States are facing a transpor-
tation funding crisis, said
Jaime Rall, transportation pol-
icy specialist at the National
Conference of State Legisla-
tures. But she does not pin the
blame for the crisis on the re-
cession alone. She also points
to the political reluctance to
raise the gas tax, she said.
The gasoline tax, which
feeds into the National High-
way Trust Fund for highway
projects, has stood at 18.4
cents a gallon since 1993. Ad-
justed for inflation, it would
need to be 29 cents a gallon
just to buy what it did then, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. But Congress and
the White House oppose any
increase.
As a result, federal transpor-
tation finances are in even
worse shape than many states.
The highway trust fund ran out
of cash and had to be rescued
in 2008, 2009 and 2010 at a to-
tal cost to taxpayers of $34.5
billion. It is expectedrunout of
cash again next year.

est hes ever lived in one place.
Andhes madesurehis timehere
has been well-spent.
We came here for the oppor-
tunity, ODonnell saidwhile sit-
ting in his office thats clad in
Boston Red Sox dcor. And I
love what Im doing and I love
the area.
He said he made an effort to
get both himself and the compa-
ny involved in the community
right on from the time he
moved here.
This is a small community
and MotorWorld needs to be in-
volved. If were going to be suc-
cessful then the community
needs to be successful, ODon-
nell, of Shavertown, said.
Growing up in the Jamaica
Plain section of Boston, he said
his parents told him that in life
hell encounter people with
more, people with less. Your re-
sponsibility is to help the people
with less. Those words are still
with me.
His involvement includes
serving on multiple boards of di-
rectors including at area colleg-
es and nonprofit organizations.
MotorWorld has been active in
raisingmoneyfor the RedCross,
the Osterhout Library and The
Times Leaders Newspapers In
Education program.
ODonnell said when he was
first informed hed be receiving
the award, he was honored and
flattered but felt there are a lot
more worthy people in the com-
munity than myself.
Ruth Corcoran
Like ODonnell, Corcoran
found herself in an unfamiliar
place. Recently divorced and liv-
ing in Pittston with two small
children, she could have moved
back to the Lehigh Valley where
she grew up and where her fam-
ily still lived. But the support
she drew from the community
convinced her the Valley With a
Heart was where she would re-
main.
Neighbors, new friends and
co-workers went out of their way
to help her and she never forgot
that assistance.
She does what she can to this
daytohelpothers inthecommu-
nity.
I am very community mind-
ed now, the 48-year-old Bear
CreekTownshipresident said. I
have to give back. I am this way
because people were so good to
me at that time.
Witha backgroundinbanking
she worked at both PNC and
then Mellon Corcoran began a
public relations firm as a way to
create a schedule and workload
that would allow time with her
children. Alongthe way, she met
Bill Corcoran, owner of Corco-
ran Printing, and the two mar-
ried.
Then her other love food
entered her life.
I look at eating as a kind of
event, she said. And it seemed
like the time was right.
She opened Cork Restaurant
and made sure her dining area
was made available for groups to
meet at and to be used for fun-
draisers for community organi-
zations.
David Payne, the chambers
chairman who works at PNC
Capital Markets, praised Corco-
rans business and community
acumens.
Ruth is one of those rare peo-
ple that not only runs one suc-
cessful small business but two.
Not onlyis Corkawonderful res-
taurant, but it serves as host fa-
cility for many special events
that benefit nonprofits through-
out the area, Payne said. She
has that combination of profes-
sional excellence and commit-
ment to community that we
look for in this award.
Corcoran said I strongly be-
lieve we have to give back when
we can. Im lucky Im able to do
that.

have done in corn, soybeans and
cotton.
Clearly, the company wants to
keep its options open, said Doug
Gurian-Sherman, senior scientist
with the food and environmental
program at Union of Concerned
Scientists. But I think they under-
stand its a dicey proposition to
move into (genetically engineered)
foods that are widely consumed,
rather than foods that are highly
processed or used as animal feed.
Monsanto officials said the op-
portunities for growth in the vege-
table seed market were too good to
ignore. They saidthere were plenty
of ways to use technology to design
better-tasting vegetables, yet avoid
the financial and consumer hurdles
that would inevitably come with
rolling out genetically engineered
produce for a grocery store.
Theamount of arablelandworld-
wideisdwindling, whiletheworlds
population is forecast to jump to
more than 9 billion by 2050 from
nearly 6.9 billion today. Shifts in
weather patterns have caused re-
cent slumps in key crops.
All this, in turn, has water-
strapped countries eager to estab-
lish secure food supplies. Fast-
growing economies, such as those
in India and China, also are step-
ping up food imports to feed a bur-
geoning middle class.
Given these factors, Monsanto is
making a multibillion-dollar bet
that global farming conditions are
going to get tougher and farmers
aregoingtobehungryfor their veg-
etable and fruit seeds.
Monsanto moved aggressively
into the vegetable business in 2005
when it bought seed powerhouse
Seminis Inc. inOxnard, Calif. Since
then, it has acquiredfour other veg-
etable seed companies, opened 57
research centers worldwide and
hired a slewof seed geneticists and
agricultural researchers.
Today, Monsanto has about
4,000 employees nearly a fifth of
its 21,000 global labor force
working on its vegetable seed busi-
ness worldwide.
Monsanto officials are quick to
stress that they are not creating ge-
netically modified crops. In its
Roundup Ready soybeans, for ex-
ample, Monsanto developed seed-
lings with genes froma soil bacteri-
um to help the plant to survive be-
ing sprayed with its herbicide.
With vegetables, scientists are
looking for answers in the same, or
similar, varieties of plants. Soa trait
in one pepper, such as flavor, might
be meshed with the DNA of anoth-
er pepper. The technique has been
helpful developingvegetable plants
that can withstand certain pests,
said Consuelo Madere, vice presi-
dent of Monsantos global vegeta-
ble group.
But some scientists say this is ge-
netic modification just a differ-
ent type.
What they really are doing is
creatingsomethingwheretheprob-
abilityis verylowthat it wouldhave
happenedinnaturewithout human
intervention, said R. Paul Thomp-
son, director of graduate studies at
the University of Torontos depart-
ment of ecology and evolutionary
biology.

Q.: About seven years ago, I
worked part-time at an after-
school day care program. My em-
ployment was terminated after I
complained to a parent about her
childs unruly behavior. Since
then, I have run a small home-
based business but plan to start
looking for work now that my
children are in school.
I have recently heard that the
day care company now claims I
never worked there. If I list this
jobonapplications, Imafraidem-
ployers may thinkImlyingabout
myworkhistory. I couldshowmy
old pay stubs as proof during an
interview, but how do I avoid be-
ingscreenedout duringtheappli-
cation process?
-- Erased
A.: I think you can stop worry-
ing, because most employers
dont check background informa-
tion until an applicant has made
the final cut and is considered a
viable candidate. You should
therefore have ample opportuni-
ty to explain this unusual circum-
stance during the interviewproc-
ess.
First, however, you need to de-
termine if the rumor is actually
true. This can be easily accom-
plished by calling the company
and asking to verify your dates of
employment. If they insist you
never worked there, the reason is
probably poor record-keeping,
not some nefarious plot.
To explain the situation, just
make a brief statement at the end
of your interviews. For example:
In case you do a background
check, I wanted to let you know
that ABC Daycare apparently
doesnt retain old personnel re-
cords. Since they cant verify my
employment, I brought pay stubs
showing the dates that I worked
there.
If you need additional verifica-
tion, consider using W-2 forms
from your tax return or your re-
cord of employment fromthe So-
cial Security Administration.
In reality, the daycare centers
shoddy documentation may
work to your advantage. If no one
recalls your employment, then
you dont need to worry about
howthey might describe your de-
parture.
Q: I work with a group of peo-
ple who goof off a lot, take fre-
quent coffee breaks, and make
prank calls to our customer ser-
vice employees. The owner of the
company is at a different loca-
tion, so whenever he pulls into
our parking lot, the security
guard calls and tells everyone to
get back to work.
I wouldlike toblowthe whistle
on their little game, but when an-
other employee wrote the owner
about this unprofessional behav-
ior, he never responded. His as-
sistant may have intercepted the
email, because she is one of the
biggest culprits. What can I do
about this?
-- Disgusted
A: Although your coworkers
are acting like a bunch of silly, ir-
responsible children, the main
question is whether their antics
are interfering with your own job
performance. If so, thenyouneed
to talk with your manager.
But if not, your best option
may be to simply ignore these
clowns and go about your busi-
ness.
Whileyour concernfor produc-
tivity is commendable, that prob-
lem really belongs to the owner,
whois obviously doinga dreadful
job of managing this company.
Since thats unlikely to change,
you may want to find an employ-
er who can appreciate your pro-
fessionalism.

Explaining
ones past
employment
By MARIE G. MCINTYRE
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
the past decade, thanks largely
to the worlds largest pensions,
which have come to view infras-
tructure as a separate invest-
ment category, much like a
stock or a bond.
Precise estimates are hard to
pin down, but in the past five
years, the 30 biggest investors in
infrastructure have channeled
as much as $180 billion into
these types of investments, ac-
cording to Infrastructure Inves-
tor magazine. These investors
include Macquarie, as well as
some of the largest pension
plans in Europe, Australia and
Canada.
More capital is on the way.
There are 100 private funds
seeking to raise $95 billion for
infrastructure investments glob-
ally, according to a tally by San
Francisco-based fund adviser
Probitas Partners, though not
all of themwill succeed. Of that,
about $11.5 billion would be tar-
geted for the United States, with
fund sizes ranging from $100
million to $3 billion.
The main draw for investors,
DePonte said, is the steady, pre-
dictable income that infrastruc-
ture assets can provide. People
need to get to work, use electric-
ity and flush toilets, so a toll
road, an electric utility or a wa-
ter utility tends to deliver cash
no matter what happens in the
stock market on any given day.
Recent research by Macquarie
shows infrastructure has outper-
formed the global stock market
by an average of about 0.5 per-
cent per month in the past 10
years.
Traffic on the road is highly
insensitive to stock market lev-
els, said Chris Camarsh, head
of investment process at Austra-
lian fund manager CP2. That
makes infrastructure a good way
to save for ones nest egg, since
there is goodpredictability that
the cash will be there when
youre older, he said.
Camarsh, for example, holds
shares in Transurban, an Austra-
lian toll road developer that
owns an 85-year contract to
build and operate an expansion
of the Capital Beltway in Fair-
fax.
Its my retirement, he said.
That has helped lure Canadas
$52 billion Ontario Municipal
Employees Retirement System,
whichprovides retirement bene-
fits to more than 400,000 mem-
bers. It has devoted about $8.25
billion, or 16 percent, of its port-
folio to infrastructure because it
matches the long-term returns
that we need for the pension
plan, said Michael Nobrega,
chief executive of OMERS. The
pension fund bid unsuccess
fully for the Chicago Skyway
and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

SEARCH FOR RETURNS
Traders and individual investors have al-
ways looked for new ways to predict the
markets direction. They might want to look
to the Internet, or so says a new study by
researcher Ilaria Bordino and others. Bordi-
no looked at the stocks in the Nasdaq 100
and checked how many people searched
for them on Yahoo. The study found that
shortly after searches for a specific stock
spiked, trading volume also jumped. The
method isnt a way to beat the market -- it
shows which stocks are already getting the
most attention. But the study argues that by
looking at how much coverage a stock is
getting on search engines, economists can
predict a stock market panic. If Internet us-
ers are searching for a stock in unusual
numbers, it could mean that media attention
is driving that stock in a specific direction.
BETTER THAN AVERAGE
Dollar-cost-averaging might sound in-
timidating if you dont spend your
days studying investing strategy, but
the basic idea is simple. You invest in
a stock or asset over a period of time.
That can mitigate the losses you suf-
fer if the market plunges the day after
you invest a lump sum. At least, thats
the theory. It works only in certain cir-
cumstances, says a study conducted
by boutique investment firm Alliance
Bernstein. The study showed that
when the overall stock market is do-
ing extremely poorly, investors were
able to hold on to more of their money
by using dollar-cost-averaging. But
most of the time, when the market is
doing well or just so-so, the method
resulted in investors losing wealth.
BUMP AT THE TOP
Its a well-known adage:
The rich just keep get-
ting richer. New research
shows that its more than
just a saying. According
to a study released last
week by the Congressio-
nal Budget Office, sala-
ries for the top-tier earn-
ers grew more than any
other group between
1979 and 2007. They
chose to analyze the pe-
riod between those two
years so they could
compare years that were
in similar economic cy-
cles (both preceded a
recession).

Patrick Dunkerley, lead manager of
the Scout Mid Cap fund (UMBMX),
sees several positives for stocks, in-
cluding a recovering U.S. economy
and fewer worries that Chinas eco-
nomic growth will sharply slow. His
fund has returned an annual 30.5
percent over the last three years,
through Thursday. That makes it the
fourth-best mid-cap blend fund over
that period, according to Morning-
star. Mid-cap blend funds have re-
turned an average of 22.7 percent
over that time.
Alot of
mid-cap
companies
dont even
do business
in Europe,
yet their
stock prices
are affected
by worries
about the
regions
debt crisis.
Investors in
the U.S. are
being held hostage by the headlines
in Europe. When the headlines are
good, markets rise. When the head-
lines arent, markets fall. But the fun-
damentals of the company matter
more in the long run.
You own several consumer
stocks. Should investors pay
more attention to what consum-
ers are saying (theyre pessimis-
tic), or what theyre doing
(spending has held up)?
Probably what theyre doing. In the
consumer space, we like companies
not so much for a macro reason but
just because we like the companies.
Thats really a stock pickers sector.
In staples, we like Herbalife. They
sell weight-loss and nutrition prod-
ucts in 76 countries. The key drivers
of their fundamentals are (increasing
numbers of people fighting) weight
gain, particularly in emerging mar-
kets. People need weight loss solu-
tions. Their formula and (meal re-
placement) shake is doing really
well. They have a new marketing
strategy where consumers pay daily,
rather than pay for monthly supply.
Theyre bringing their manufacturing
of product in house. That should
help their profit margins.
And AutoZone?
Theyre a great merchandiser of au-
to parts. They use a lot of private la-
bel, which boosts their margins.
Theyre benefiting from the old age
of the U.S. auto population, which is
basically at a record (because driv-
ers put off buying new cars). They
have good retail execution. Theyre
buying back shares. ... Thats a nice
boost to growth (because AutoZone
investors are splitting the companys
profit over a smaller number of
shares.)
You also own Expedia, whose
stock has been volatile.
Its been a laggard. Theyre upgrad-
ing the Expedia.com website, and
they did this with the hotels.com
website with good results. Were
positive on that change. Theyre
spinning off their TripAdvisor busi-
nesses, and that could come even
this quarter possibly.
But wouldnt a weak economy
mean fewer vacation and busi-
ness travel plans, which would
mean less business for Expedia?
The U.S. economy is picking up. ...
Theres plenty of liquidity to get the
economy growing. Interest rates are
low, so the people who can afford to
can refinance their home. Things are
getting a little better. It may not feel
like it (because the unemployment
rate has been at or above 9 percent
since April.)
One of your stocks, HealthSpring,
jumped 34 percent in one day last
week after getting bought.
Takeovers have been happening
here and there. Lubrizol was bought
out of the fund in the first quarter.
Now HealthSpring in this quarter.
What they have in common is
theyre good businesses that gener-
ate lots of cash, and companies like
to buy them.

Shipping
Forecast
But the companies arent quite in
synch in their outlook.
UPS said in its earnings report
Tuesday that the economy appears
healthier than it did a few months
ago. UPS reiterated its earnings
forecast for the year.
FedEx was less optimistic last
month. It lowered its forecast. But it
also said customers werent panick-
ing. And Monday, it predicted ship-
ments would rise 12 percent during
the holiday season from 2010.
Joel Naroff, president of Naroff
Economic Advisors, said the ship-
ping companies assessments sug-
gest were not headed for another
recession. It reconfirms the other
data that seems to point to a better
economy, he said.
And Kurt Rankin, an economist at
PNC Financial Services Group, said
the companies are indicating that
consumer spending remains strong.
Chip Cutter Kristen Girard
UPS sounds more optimistic than
it did Sept. 15, when it warned of a
bumpy ride. CEO Scott Davis
said, We have had a lot of good
economic reports in the U.S. He
said retail sales look better, un-
employment claims are improv-
ing, manufacturing is getting bet-
ter and banks are lending more.
We feel a little bit better, he
said. UPS repeated its forecast
that the economy will grow be-
tween 1 percent and 3.5 percent
in the second half of the year.
A look at what FedEx and UPS had to say:
FedEx doesnt expect the
economy to fall into another
recession. But, "we expect
sluggish economic growth will
continue around the world,
CEO Fred Smith said last
month. FedEx cut its earnings
forecast for its fiscal year, which
ends in May. That indicated it
expects slower economic growth
into 2012. Still, its announce-
ment Monday that it expects a
big increase in shipments was
heartening for economists and
investors. They sent the stock up
nearly 3 percent.

Small stocks, big potential
Stock
Screener
Smaller companies are beginning to look more appealing to investors.
The Standard & Poors 600 index, a benchmark for small-cap stocks, is
up 18 percent this month. Thats more than the Standard & Poors 500
index, which is up 14 percent.
Investors buy small caps when theyre willing to take on risk. While small
companies typically have less cash on hand to weather economic
downturns, theyre attractive because they have more growth prospects
ahead of them.
Lori Calvasina, a research analyst at Credit Suisse, put out a report on
Thursday urging investors to consider smaller stocks. She noted that small
caps typically outperform large-caps over time.
So this screen, powered by FactSet, highlights companies in the
small-cap Standard & Poors 600 index that have risen the most this year.
All the stocks have target prices that suggest they have additional room
to rise.
The top stock on the list, Questcor Pharmaceuticals, has risen 183
percent this year. It said this past week that its third-quarter profit nearly
doubled thanks to a big increase in the number of prescriptions for its
multiple sclerosis treatment.
The average target price on the stock is $43.83, suggesting it can go up
another 5 percent over the next 12 months.

Yields fall on debt doubts
Treasury prices plunged on news that Europe
settled on a plan to contain the Greek debt crisis.
That made traders more confident about buying
stocks and less likely to seek safety in government
debt. They rose again on Friday, when analysts
raised questions about the plan. The yield on the
10-year Treasury, which moves opposite its price,
fell to 2.32 percent.

VIEWS S E C T I O N E
THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2011
timesleader.com
HIPPOCRATES of
ancient Greece wrote
that, Healing is a
matter of time, but it
is sometimes also a
matter of opportuni-
ty.
Time, and opportu-
nity.
Hippocrates has long been consid-
ered the father of modern medicine.
He is thought to have survived to the
age of 90, possibly even 100, after
spending nearly 20 years in Greek
prisons for his scientific beliefs. His
writings and teachings gave life to the
Hippocratic Oath, a physicians creed
meant to guide the mind and healing
hand of his students, followed to this
very day.
The body politic of Luzerne County
also needs to heal. But in this region,
at this time, on this Election Day, it is
you the voter, and only those so regis-
tered, that are licensed to treat the
critically ill patient upon the table. The
future of so many depends upon the
mind and healing hand of thousands of
voters who will make their way to the
polls in nine days and apply the civic
remedy to heal the sickness.
Healing is a matter of time. If that
is so, over the last 12 months your time
has been spent well. The members of a
Government Study Commission, that
you approved, recommended a new
constitution that called for establishing
an entirely new government for Lu-
zerne County, and you adopted it.
In May, the two major parties nomi-
nated their candidates for the 11 impor-
tant seats on the crucial county council
that you created. Your message of hope
and reform also enticed three Inde-
pendents and three Libertarian candi-
dates to join race.
Among their many responsibilities,
the 11 people ultimately elected to
county council will choose the county
manager who will run the show. The
man or woman so selected will become
the CEO, COO, governor and pre-
eminent leader of Luzerne County.
Elect the wrong candidates to coun-
ty council and you might well see the
coronation of a well-connected, good-
ole-boy as county manager, retuning
everything back to the future and the
stumbling, fumbling, bumbling days of
yesteryear.
Healing is sometimes also a matter
of opportunity. If that is true, the rare
opportunity, to lock in the reforms and
hope you have long cherished, now
awaits you. For neither the Repub-
licans, nor the Democrats nominated
11 well-qualified individuals for the
difficult and complex job of governing
this large county.
If the county council is to be the very
best, it requires that we vote for a
blend of Republican, Democratic and
Independent council candidates.
Therefore, regardless of your politi-
cal affiliation, will you join in this his-
toric opportunity and vote for the very
best that each party has to offer?
After a year of study and careful
consideration, In the Arena is pre-
pared to endorse 11 individuals for
election to the 11 seats on Luzerne
County Council. Surprisingly, perhaps
fortuitously, the roll call of the very
best includes four Republicans, four
Democrats, one Libertarian and two
Independent candidates.
To begin the healing process, to lead
Northeastern Pennsylvania toward a
better and brighter future, In the
Arena enthusiastically endorses the
following candidates for Luzerne
County Council:
Rick Morelli
John Ruckno
Harry Haas
Eugene Kelleher
Jim Bobeck
Edward Brominski
Jane Walsh-Waitkus
Elaine Maddon Curry
Tim Mullen
Jere Packard
Rick Williams
Feel free to clip this list and carry
these 11 names with you to the polls on
Nov. 8. Let the healing begin. VOTE.

MORETHANFIVE
years ago I returned to
Wilkes-Barre to buy
The Times Leader. On
Friday I announced my
departure by the end of
the year fromthe
Wilkes-Barre Publishing
Company, which I founded in 2006, resur-
recting the former name of the local news-
paper firm. These have been fulfilling
years.
If our company had not bought The
Times Leader in 2006, there was a real
fear that more than 200 persons would
lose their jobs.
Painfully, we have had to adjust to eco-
nomic conditions and downsize our em-
ployee force, but our businesses have
survived and are well-positioned for the
future. We brought back solid journalism
and have served our communities and
nonprofits generously. At the same time,
we have laid a newfoundation for the
business, investing in digital infrastruc-
ture, increasing paid, daily and Sunday
circulation, bringing advertisers back in
the fold, and even starting newnewspa-
pers such as Go Lackawanna.
This is a difficult business these days,
but there are still many opportunities to
improve journalism, better serve our
communities and transition digital jour-
nalisminto a solid financial business
model.
There are still a large number of news
readers and advertisers. Newspapers have
a gloomy future in big city markets but
smaller, regional newspapers and websites
continue to have bright futures.
The media business, both broadcast and
print, has usually been slowto adapt to
change but eventually it does and it suc-
ceeds. That trend will continue because
we employ the best journalists in the
world and talented sales executives. Ad-
vertising pays the bills and, luckily, still
works.
When a person says they are leaving a
job there comes the inevitable question:
what are you going to do next? Ive been in
the media business for 40 years and intend
to be in it for at least another 20.
Just like one of my friends, the late
Russell Wiggins, editor of The Washing-
ton Post and later, owner of a small coun-
try weekly, I plan to work in this business
into my nineties. I knewanother newspa-
per owner who died at ninety-something
at his desk on a Saturday night, no less.
As for the Wyoming Valley, well, Ive
never left - at least in my heart. My best
friends are still here. We own a home here
and will continue to own that home. We
will continue to do our work here.
News is my avocation and hobby. Being
in this business has the benefits and thrill
of free enterprise, but the real satisfaction
comes in addressing political and social
ills.
What comes next for me will be to
continue to devote my efforts to journal-
ism, fairness in reporting, and the chal-
lenge we all face of building a solid digital
business foundation for this industry.

OWANDA, Pa. In a modern-day echo of the raucous Old
West, small towns enjoying a boom in oil and gas drilling
are seeing a sharp increase in drunken driving, bar fights
and other hell-raising, blamed largely on an influx of young men
who find themselves with lots of money in their pockets and noth-
ing to do after they get off work.
Authorities in Pennsylvania and other
states are quick to point out that the vast
majorityof workers streaminginarelaw-
abiding. But they also say the drilling in-
dustry has brought with it a hard-work-
ing, hard-drinking, rough-and-tumble
element that, in some places, threatens
to overwhelm law enforcement.
Somepolicedepartments aretryingto
hire more officers but are hard-pressed
to compete with the industry for appli-
cants.
On one hand, we need to count our
blessings, saidSheriff Scott Buschingof
Williams County, N.D. On the other
hand, we need to see if we can control
this soit isnt chickens onedayandfeath-
ers the next. ... We have come to the
point here where were almost over-
whelmed. Its very close.
In Bradford County, Pennsylvanias
most heavilydrilledcountyinthe 3-year-
old rush to tap the Marcellus Shale, the
nations largest-known natural gas reser-
voir, the stream of men from Texas, Ok-
lahoma, Louisiana and elsewhere has
been accompanied by increases in ar-
rests, traffic violations, protection-from-
abuse orders and warrants issued for
people who dont show up in court, law
enforcement officials said.
Inthe heart of westernNorthDakotas
oil patch, driving under the influence
andassaults have spikedafter thousands
of workers descended on the area and
settled in apartments and trailer villages
known as man camps. Southwestern
Wyomings booming gas fields also have
seen a rise in rowdy behavior.
We definitely do drink a lot. I aint go-
ing to lie, said Jordon Bourque, a 23-
year-old pipe inspector from Lafayette,
La., whowas drinkingbeer at a bar inthe
Williamsport, Pa., area one recent night.
But he said that many in the industry
obey the law and that authorities in
Pennsylvania have less tolerance for
troublemakers than police in small-town

These men and women, many of
whose names and faces might not be
familiar to you, are among 28 county
residents vying to serve on the 11-per-
son council a startup group that in
January will replace the traditional
commissioner trio and take the reins
of county government. Its a massive
change for Luzerne County, a chance
for a fresh start.
Voters will make their picks Nov. 8,
deciding which contenders from the
field will get one of the $8,000-per-
year council posts.
Choose with care which is to say,
better than some voters did during the
May primaries when several stellar
candidates were snubbed in favor of
certain sub-par and mediocre ones.
Since then, the field has been further
shuffled by the addition of third-party
candidates.
Bottom line: Theres still an oppor-
tunity for voters to install a sensation-
al county council; theres also a chance
theyll blow it by resorting to old hab-
its.
If you vote for a county council can-
didate solely because of his or her po-
litical party affiliation, you could be
making a mistake. Ditto if your deci-
sion is based purely on geography; just
because the candidate lives in your
corner of the county, doesnt make
him or her capable of doing this job.
In fact, if you vote for someone sim-
ply because the candidate is a former
classmate or a coach, a fellow club
member or a coworker, a friend of a
friend or the photogenic sort, you
could be setting up the county for all
kinds of trouble.
At this critical time in its history, as
it tries to recover from stunning cor-
ruption and staggering debt, Luzerne
County will not be best served by a full
Democratic slate. Or the full Republi-
can slate. Or the union-backed slate.
Or any other pre-packaged, pre-ap-
proved, agenda-oriented team of
candidates.
Luzerne County needs independ-
ent-thinking, reform-minded leaders
to serve on council. It needs moderate
voices, people who are willing to lis-
ten to and consider a variety of
viewpoints. It needs people with rele-
vant experience in running businesses
and overseeing big operations. (This
is, after all, a county government with
nearly 1,700 workers and an annual
budget of about $125 million.)
Most important, Luzerne County
needs council members who are brai-
ny but not lacking in common sense.
The Times Leaders endorsement
board feels these 11 candidates fit the
bill perfectly. They are the best-suited
of the bunch to represent Luzerne
Countys 300,000-plus residents.
The councils initial members will
tackle the arduous task of implement-
ing the home rule charter approved by
voters last year. They will be respon-
sible for hiring a county manager,
someone with the enormous respon-
sibility of running the countys day-to-
day operations.
Council members also will appoint
area residents to Luzerne Countys
many critical authorities, board and
commissions. Each month, theyll
convene at least two public meetings
to conduct the publics business: ap-
proving a county budget, its tax rate,
union contracts and policies.
The new council members should
not indeed, under the rules of the
charter, dare not micromanage, in-
terfering in the workaday tasks of
county employees.
The 11 council posts, although con-
sidered part-time offices, will be
nothing of the sort for several months,
even years, if the officeholders are tru-
ly intent on getting Luzerne County
on solid footing.
Can other council contenders, those
who didnt get our recommendation,
do an admirable job? No doubt. The
field includes many fine people with
keen understandings of the issues.
Are there a few entrants who, while
perhaps well-intentioned, probably
dont belong in this race? Afraid so.
Our endorsement boards members
can say this with authority, having in-
terviewed all of the candidates who
accepted invitations to meet with us
in the spring (46 of them), and again
this month (24 of them). We asked
them about their educational back-
grounds and careers. We questioned
themon potential conflicts of interest,
basic county operations and their
views on a variety of important sub-
jects: contract negotiations, county
services and debt. (You can viewthese
interviews by visiting www.time-
sleader.com.)
To identify the best of the best for
these important council offices, The
Times Leader devoted more staff time
and effort this year than any other
news outlet. We did it because The
Times Leader had vigorously advocat-
ed for home rules adoption last year
and we want to see this new style gov-
ernment succeed.
We did it because its part of our pub-
lic service mission to provide thought-
ful endorsements.
We winnowed the field of conten-
ders to this 11 because we care deeply
about this county, its reputation and
its residents welfare. We did it, frank-
ly, because we live here, too. And we
desperately want good government.
We hope you do as well.
Vote wisely.

O U R E N D O R S E M E N T S F O R E L E C T I O N 2 01 1
The Butler Township resi-
dent, 64, served for eight years
on the Hazleton Area School
Board, overseeing a budget and
staff comparable to Luzerne
Countys government. She
works as supervisor of library
services for the Greater Hazle-
ton Health Alliance. "I think
that I bring a level of experi-
ence to the table," she said,
"and I come with a background
that would help us with this
new beginning."
ELAINE MADDON CURRY
The Sugarloaf Township
resident, 40, is the only candi-
date in the field who can claim
to have been with home rule
since the beginning, serving on
both the Luzerne County Gov-
ernment Study Commission
and the subsequent transition
committee. Aside from valuable
knowledge, he has an inde-
pendent streak. "Im no ones
rubber stamp," he said. "Im
going to be vocal and thats
what Im going to continue to
bring to the table."
RICK MORELLI
The Wilkes-Barre resident,
36, teaches history at Dallas
Middle School. He also serves
as an instructor of a citizenship
class for Luzerne County Com-
munity College in Hazleton.
"We need people (on county
council) who are going to come
in and work together as
adults," he said, "to balance the
budget, to bring decency and
respect back to the county "
HARRY HAAS
The Kingston resident, 73,
retired as president of Wyom-
ing Seminary in 2007. He is an
adjunct, part-time history facul-
ty member at Misericordia
University in Dallas Township.
He joined the campaign as an
Independent candidate. "If
there is no independent voice
on some issues," he said,
"theres no question that party
loyalty and party persuasive-
ness will influence the forma-
tion of a majority."
JEREMY PACKARD
The Kingston resident, 31,
won the admiration of many
people for capably serving as
chairman of Luzerne Countys
Home Rule Transition Commit-
tee, charged with crafting pol-
icies and laying groundwork for
the incoming county council
members. An attorney for a
Plymouth firm, he would be an
invaluable asset to the council
when it takes charge in Janu-
ary. "We all have to be on the
same page," he said.
JAMES BOBECK
The Dorrance Township resi-
dent, 63, works as an English
and American studies professor
at Penn State Hazleton. She
formerly owned a real estate
company and previously served
as president of Laflins borough
council. "I know how to budget,
I know how to manage," she
said. "I know what to look for
when we need to hire people."
JANE WALSH-WAITKUS
The Dallas Township resident,
67, is a retired mathematics
teacher and formerly served on
Plymouths borough council. He
knows numbers and expresses
a desire to see a significant
shift in the way this debt-heavy
county operates. "We need an
electorate who will commit to
vote for people who are not
politicians, but those who are
willing to be servants, do their
job and not worry about being
re-elected," he said.
EUGENE KELLEHER
The Wilkes-Barre resident, 59,
has served as a Luzerne County
commissioner since 2000 and
participates on the Home Rule
Transition Committee. His know-
howabout county operations
could spare the newcouncil from
many blunders. "Ive always
believed that you have to have
some core competency before
you make a vote," he said. "You
should knowthe facts before you
speak, and Imwilling to share
that information with other coun-
cil members."
STEPHEN A. URBAN
The Franklin Township resi-
dent, 53, has owned a pharma-
cy in Freeland for 17 years. He
advocates for a "team effort"
between county employees and
the new council. "We need to
have that dialogue with the
folks that are working in the
county, because I think they
hold a lot of the answers to
improving budget issues,
(bringing) new ideas."
MICHAEL LACEY
The Kingston resident, 64, is
a partner in a Wilkes-Barre
architectural firm. An Inde-
pendent candidate, he sees the
folly of injecting politics into
nuts-and-bolts county business
involving roads, parks and
other services. "My hope is that
the new council comes togeth-
er as cooperative people who
sit down and listen, analyze,
ask for the information, discuss
things, listen to the voters and
listen to themselves - and then
vote their conscience."
RICK WILLIAMS
The Kingston resident, 64, is
a former chemistry teacher,
now working as director of
administration for the Commis-
sion on Economic Opportunity,
based in Wilkes-Barre. He
knows the delicate nature of
group dynamics. "I know we
have to build a consensus
among the council members,
and we have to work at that
so that everybody can support
the decisions that come out of
the council."

F O R U M
YOUVE GOT
your Mexican
standoff, your
Russian rou-
lette, your
Chinese wa-
ter torture.
And now,
your Libyan crossfire. Thats
when a pistol is applied to the
head and a bullet crosses from
one temple to the other.
Thats apparently what
happened to Moammar Gad-
dafi after he was captured by
Libyan rebels died in a
crossfire, explains Libyas
new government. This has
greatly agitated ACLU types,
morally unemployed ever
since a Democratic adminis-
tration declared Guantanamo
humane. The indignation has
spread to human rights groups
and Western governments,
deeply concerned about the
manner of Gaddafis demise.
Lets begin at the beginning.
Early in the revolution, Gad-
dafi could have had due proc-
ess. Indeed, he could have had
something better: asylum (in
Nicaragua, for example) with
a free pass for his crimes. If he
stepped down, thereby avoid-
ing the subsequent civil war
that killed thousands of his
countrymen, he could have
enjoyed a nice fat retirement,
like that of Idi Amin in Saudi
Arabia.
Like Amin, Gaddafi would
not have deserved a single day
of untroubled repose. Such an
outcome would itself have
been a gross violation of jus-
tice, as hed have gone unpuni-
shed for his uncountable
crimes. But it would have
spared his country much
bloodshed and suffering.
Such compromises are fully
justified and rather common.
They are, for example, the
essence of the various truth
and reconciliation commis-
sions in countries transition-
ing from authoritarianism to
democracy. In post-Pinochet
Chile and post-apartheid
South Africa, it was decided
that full justice punishing
the guilty would be sacri-
ficed in order to preserve the
fragile social peace of the new
democracy.
The former oppressors
having agreed to a peaceful
relinquishing of power, full
justice might have ignited
renewed civil strife. There-
fore, these infant democracies
settled for mere truth: a metic-
ulous accounting of the
crimes of the previous regime.
In return for truthful testimo-
ny, perpetrators were given
amnesty.
Under the normal rule of
law, truth is only a means for
achieving justice, not an end
in itself. The real end is deter-
mining guilt and assigning
punishment. But in war and
revolution one cannot have
everything. Justice might
threaten peace. Therefore
peace trumps full justice.
Gaddafi could have had
such a peace-over-justice com-
promise. He chose instead to
fight to the death. He got
what he chose.
That fateful decision to
fight and kill is the prism
through which to judge the
cruel treatment Gaddafi re-
ceived in his last hours. It is
his refusal to forgo those final
crimes, those final shellings of
civilians, those final execu-
tions of prisoners that justifies
his rotten death.
He could have taken a de
facto amnesty for all his previ-
ous crimes, from Pan Am103
to the 1996 massacre of 1,200
inmates at Tripolis Abu Salim
prison. To reject that option
and proceed to create an en-
tirely new catalog of crimes
for that there is no forgive-
ness. For that you are sen-
tenced to die by crossfire.
So he was killed by his cap-
tors. Big deal. So was Mussoli-
ni. So were the Ceausescus.
They deserved far worse. As
did Gaddafi. In a world of
perfect justice, this Caligula
should have suffered far more,
far longer. He inflicted un-
imaginable suffering upon
thousands. What did he suf-
fer? Perhaps an hour of tor-
ment and a shot through the
head. By any standard of cos-
mic justice, thats mercy.
Moreover, Gaddafis sorry
end has one major virtue:
deterrence. You are a murder-
ous dictator with a rebellion
on your hands. You have a
choice. Relinquish power and
spare your country further
agony, and you can then live
out your days like Amin or
like a more contemporary
Saudi guest, Tunisias Zine
el-Abidine Ben Ali. Otherwise,
you die like Gaddafi, dragged
from a stinking sewer pipe,
abused, taunted and shot.
Call it the Gaddafi Rule:
Give it up and go, or one day
find death by Libyan cross-
fire. Followed by a Libyan
state funeral. Thats when you
lie on public view for four
days, half-naked in a meat
locker.
Gaddafi made choice
that sealed his fate

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Don Carey and
words by Mark E. Jones
THERE ARE
certain sounds
that are pure
childhood joy.
One is the
clomping of
little feet up
the stairs.
Another is the squeal of delight.
Earlier this month, in a fresh-
ly renovated house in Detroit,
those two sounds came togeth-
er. Seven children. Running up
the stairs. Running into bed-
rooms.
Cue the squeals.
I call this one! ... This one!
... I got the top one! They
were laying claim to something
every child ought to have a
bed but they were giddy be-
cause they had been sleeping
three to a mattress in a dingy
house infested with mold.
Now this?
I got top bed! ... I got bot-
tom bed!
Their mother, Kristy Wilson,
followed in behind them. Her
eyes were wider than a moving
truck, and she kept turning left
and right, putting her hand on
her heart or her cheek.
Whose room is this? she
asked, entering a bedroom with
a queen-size mattress on a new
frame.
Yours and your husbands,
she was told.
She fell to her knees, laid her
head on the bed and began to
cry.
A few weeks ago, in this
space, we learned about Kristy
and her husband, Amando, poor
working parents who simply
couldnt make ends meet at
least not enough to escape a
bad-deal rented Detroit house
where the landlord never both-
ered to fix the mold, sewage or
other issues.
At the time, there seemed no
way out. But then something
happened.
A house was in need of repair.
A family was in need of a
home.
One plus one equals ...
I have never had a washer or
dryer before, Kristy said. She
was standing in the basement of
this tidy home, looking at the
laundry area, astonished that
other people would do this for
her.
But they did and they do.
Michigan is full of people like
that. Dozens of them came
down and volunteered their
time, their hammers, their nail
guns, their ladders, their paint-
ing, their carpeting skills, their
electrical expertise. They donat-
ed furniture, windows, basic
necessities.
And because of that, through
a new program Im co-launching
with the Detroit Rescue Mission
Ministries called Working
Homes/Working Families, the
Wilsons now have a place to
live, not a place to survive.
Mama! Sit on the couch! the
kids yelled.
The idea is simple: There are
too many empty or abandoned
houses in Detroit. And there are
too many families working
families forced to live in shel-
ters or inadequate housing with
crazy rates. The mold pit that
was the Wilsons previous ad-
dress charged $650 a month. Its
astounding in a city where you
can buy a house for $7,000 that
landlords can regularly be exact-
ing rents like that.
But they do. And it keeps a
cycle of poverty intact, while
blocking Detroit neighborhoods
from any kind of renaissance.
It neednt be that way. If you
have or know of a house that is
empty, or the owner is looking
to donate for a loss or a deduc-
tion, Working Homes/Working
Families could be an answer.
One plus one equals ...
My husband and I were
sleeping in the attic, Kristy
said. We didnt have luxuries.
At the end of the month, it was
a choice between feeding all the
kids or paying the rent.
Under the Working Homes/
Working Families program, the
family must pay only the util-
ities and the taxes. But they also
must keep working this is not
a handout and the house must
be maintained at the same level
it was given. If these require-
ments are met for a certain
number of years, then the family
might be given ownership.
In the meantime, the pairing
of families trying to make it
with houses trying to stay up-
right seems a logical match. Its
lemons to lemonade, right?
The Wilsons have slept in
homeless shelters, in a space
above a church and in dilapi-
dated housing. For the last few
days, they have slept in a home.
It is not fancy by suburban stan-
dards. But it is clean, it is mold-
free, and it is full of children
making the kind of noise they
should make squeals, foot
thumps, bed bounces.
This is a miracle, Kristy
said.
Not really. Just people helping
other people. Thank you to
those who made this possible,
and those who will do more.
You can learn about it at
www.workinghomesworking-
families.org.
A house in need of attention.
A family in need of a home.
One plus one equals ...
A community.

my daughter and me after
our dog slipped out of its
collar and got hit by a vehicle
on Lakeside Drive, Harveys

Our dog, Joon, a young

and ran into a car. Then she
took off, and I had to chase
after her.
This nice woman, whom I
have spoken to before while

My daughter was hysterical,
and the woman comforted her
and called 911.
Thank you also to the man

make sure everything was
okay. It was in no way his

Joon seems to be okay,
scared and banged up, but
good. Thank you again to both

Carey supports
cancer drug fund
O
ur office wishes to ac-
knowledge the incredible
contribution of Ken Carey
of the Tipsy Turtle to our
Patient Prescription Assist-
ance Fund at Medical Oncol-
ogy Associates.
The fund was started eight
years ago so that financial
assistance would be available
to our cancer patients for the
purchase of pain medication,
nausea medication, antibiotics
and occasionally even chemo-
therapy drugs. Support for our
fund has come from many
patients, patients families,
friends and our staff through
gifts made to honor or memo-
rialize loved ones.
We believe that Ken Carey
should be recognized for the
extraordinary effort he has put
forth to raise money for this
fund. He has established an
annual golf tournament, raffle
and other events specifically
to raise money to help cancer
patients.
Through Kens effort, the
fund has been able, over the
last several years, to assist
needy patients with travel
expenses for out-of-town con-
sultations and with medical
insurance premiums for many
who have lost their medical
insurance along with their
employment. We even have
been able to help several of
our patients impacted by the
recent flooding in the Wyom-
ing Valley.
Yes, Ken is a grateful patient
who has survived cancer and
has experienced firsthand
what other cancer patients are
going through. But he is much
more than that.
He is truly a compassionate
individual imbued with em-
pathy and a sincere concern
for the welfare of others. His
generosity of caring and giv-
ing is an example of the best
of the human spirit.
The staff of Medical Oncol-
ogy Associates thanks Ken
Carey, his family, his helpers
at the Tipsy Turtle and his
friends for improving the lives
of so many cancer patients in
Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Reporter recalled
as mentor, friend
T
he Times Leaders stirring
tribute to Marita Lowman
captured a gifted reporter
who was persistent, fervently
accurate, curious and always
human.
I worked at The Times
Leader from1989 to 1998.
Marita was my editor for the
first couple of years and would
become both a mentor and
friend. My greatest memory of
Marita was when I covered
the fatal killing of 16-month-
old Brian Huntzinger at the
hands of Steven Dunn. In the
first days of that tragedy, I was
overtaken emotionally, seeing
the horrific pictures of a once-
beautiful tot.
Marita, who was as hard-
nosed as any reporter for
whom Ive worked, showed a
different side. She was warm,
a great listener and empathet-
ic. She helped to guide me
through and to focus on how
best to give meaning to
Brians life. Eventually, we
would help change the child-
welfare laws in the state to
better protect vulnerable chil-
dren.
After I left The Times Lead-
er, we kept in periodic touch,
especially during the turbu-
lent times following her sons
death, and then when she was
struck with the illness that
eventually took her life.
Through it all, Marita re-
tained a positive outlook an-
chored in a faith that tran-
scended any formal religion.
She was both strong and hum-
ble to the end. Ill miss her
very much.

Take the time
to honor veterans
T
he 60th annual Veterans
Day parade will be held
Nov. 6 beginning at King-
ston Corners on Wyoming
Avenue, Kingston, and ending
at Wilkes-Barres Public
Square.
An added incentive to cele-
brate and honor our veterans
is the fact the war in Iraq is
ending. After eight years,
some 4,400 Americans were
killed and tens of thousands
were injured, including many
who are amputees and many
suffering from battle trauma.
Thousands of American lives
will never be the same. Fam-
ilies have been separated,
couples have divorced and
there have been suicides as
well. The wars financial costs
have been estimated as high
as a trillion dollars.
Most, if not all, the troops
will be home for the holidays.
How can we show our ap-
preciation for the veterans of
the Middle East wars and all
wars in our nations history?
Become a part of the Veter-
ans Day parade.
If not a participant, be an
observer, carry an American
flag, wear your veterans cap
or some other symbol in-
dicating your service to your
country. Salute the flag as it
passes by and display our
nations flag in front of your
home, church, school or busi-
ness.
Take time off from the foot-
ball games, etc., and show our
veterans we appreciate their
sacrifices in defending our
freedoms.
A good way to start the day
would be by attending your
place of worship and thanking
God for the freedoms we en-
joy.
Another good idea would be
for area mayors to issue proc-
lamations for all residents and
business establishments to
display our nations flag
throughout the Valley and to
thank God for the end of the
war in Iraq and safe return of
our troops.
The veterans have sacrificed
for us. Now, lets show our
appreciation. Anything less is
unacceptable.
Be a flag waver, so long as
its the American flag you are
waving. I am and proud of it.
Long may it wave oer the
land of the free and the home
of the brave.

Drilling heightens
voting importance
T
he Back Mountain area of
Luzerne County is chang-
ing rapidly and, sadly,
these changes are not for the
good.
When we first learned of the
Marcellus Shale natural gas
explorations, I dont believe
that any of us imagined the
impact that it would have on
our serene rural communities.
We are not yet peppered with
gas wells like our neighboring
counties, but battles rage over
safely locating metering sta-
tions, and pipeline construc-
tion has inflicted terrible scars
on our countryside.
Opponents of this industry
preach that this is only the
beginning. In all likelihood,
they are correct.
This invasion is under way
with little or no local regu-
lation. In Dallas Township,
residents are confused by the
attitude of their elected offi-
cials. They feel that their cries
for more stringent regulation
of the gas and pipeline compa-
nies are falling on deaf ears.
The upcoming election
should prove to be an accurate
measurement of community
discontent.
Liz Martin is campaigning
for a position as a Dallas
Township supervisor. She is
aligned with organizations
that strongly favor regulating
the gas industry and she is
well-schooled in and savvy
about other pressing township
issues. Liz is articulate, honest
and diligent. Her passion for
the preservation of the Back
Mountain is evident whenever
she speaks.
Your ballot is your sharpest
tool. Choose wisely.

Deeds outweigh
political motives
O
n July 3, Plymouth suf-
fered a horrific flood when
a torrential rainfall caused
Coal Creek to leave its banks.
The event caused countless
heartaches among the effected
people. Property damage
amounted to $3 million. Dur-
ing this dreadful period, many
people volunteered their help,
and we thank them.
One month later, along
came Hurricane Irene, fol-
lowed, in a matter of days, by
Tropical Storm Lee, causing
more suffering among many of
our residents who saw their
properties adversely impacted.
Once again, many volunteers
came to our aid.
Plymouth Mayor Dorothy
Petrosky, borough council and
staff extend their appreciation
and gratitude to the proprie-
tors of Classic Pizza, Happy
Pizza and Donnies Hoagies
for their generous donations.
A special thanks goes to our
fire, police and road depart-
ments, all of which surpassed
the call of duty. Volunteers
from within the community
and around the state came to
assist in the cleanup and help
with other chores, and we are
grateful.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, Con-
gressman Lou Barletta, state
Sen. John Yudichak and state
Rep. Jerry Mullery were on
scene and pledged their sup-
port in the recovery effort.
Unfortunately, three individ-
uals who are aspiring for bor-
ough council failed to come to
the borough to offer their
services. Conspicuous by their
absences, nonetheless they
seemingly used the misery of
others to further their political
agendas by condemning the
actions of those people who
tried to do their best during
these emergencies.
May I suggest that when
you have three opportunities
to help your community and
you dont step up to the plate,
its three strikes and youre
out?
Thank goodness the actions
of these three are dwarfed by
the good deeds of all who
volunteered to help the Ply-
mouth community.

Council forum
deemed success
T
he Downtown Residents
Association in Wilkes-
Barre thanks The Times
Leader for agreeing to partner
with us in presenting a forum
on Oct. 17 of the candidates
for Luzerne County Council.
We feel that the event met
our goal of providing an op-
portunity for the residents of
Luzerne County to see and
hear the candidates. Thank
you for your support in provid-
ing publicity and the support
given to our event by Kevin
Blaum in two of his columns.
We were pleased that 24 of
the candidates accepted our
invitation to the forum. Eileen
Sorokas was present for the
first part of the program but
had to leave before the ques-
tion-and-answer session, so
her name was not included in
The Times Leaders article on
Oct. 18. Eugene Kelleher
called us late Monday after-
noon with regrets that his
previous engagement had run
late and he would not be able
to get back to Wilkes-Barre in
time. Stephen J. Urban had
accepted conditionally, stating
that he has started a new job
and would come if his work
hours permitted it.
We felt the candidates pre-
sented good information and
all seemed willing to work
together to improve Luzerne
County.
We hope that Luzerne
Countys residents will take
the time to vote for the best
candidates for the council.

Wilkes-Barre
Leighton should
retain position
I
observed the skill and lead-
ership of Wilkes-Barre May-
or Tom Leighton before,
during and after the flood of
2011.
I never thought that I would
see the downtown mayor
take such a personal interest
in protecting the neighbor-
hoods. But the mayor and his
staff frequently visited the
area during the crisis to make
sure that the flood-protection
systems were holding and to
direct the cleanup efforts
when it became unavoidable.
There was no one more
suited to the job. The people
of Wilkes-Barre were well-
served by the mayor and his
team.
Over the last seven years,
Mayor Leighton has consis-
tently proven beyond a doubt
that he is the right person to
continue to revolutionize
Wilkes-Barre into the pioneer-
ing 21st-century city that it
has become. No longer are
people ashamed to admit that
they live in Wilkes-Barre, but
instead, they are proud to call
Wilkes-Barre home. The state
of the city is a testament to his
character, experience and
leadership, and I am proud to
support Tom Leighton to
continue to be the mayor.
I often am jokingly called
the mayor of Miners Mills,
but there is only one person
who has truly earned that title
and he deserves to be elect-
ed.

Urbans campaign
called negative
T
o the residents of Wilkes-
Barre City Council District
D:
Since the primary election,
Linda J. Urban has been ac-
tively involved in a negative
election campaign for city
council. Mrs. Urban recently
has resorted to distributing
misleading postings and mail-
ings. She claims to have resid-
ed in the district most of my
life, when in fact, after losing
the election for mayor and city
council in 2007, she put her
house up for sale and went to
Florida.
Mrs. Urban repeatedly crit-
icizes council benefits, in-
cluding health care, gas reim-
bursements, etc. What Mrs.
Urban fails to mention is that I
have never accepted council-
related health care benefits, or
any buyout incentives. In
addition, she fails to mention
that I do not contribute and
never have participated in the
council pension plan. This was
a promise that I made to resi-
dents of Wilkes-Barre when
first elected, and I will contin-
ue to honor that promise.
She continues by saying
that this is not a full-time
job. I couldnt disagree more.
This is much more than a job;
it is a commitment to serve
the residents of the city, no
matter what it takes or how
long it takes to accomplish
our goals.
As far as qualifications, I
also am a veteran (U.S. Army,
Vietnam era), attended Kings
College, the Pennsylvania
State Police MPO Academy
and the FBI National Acade-
my in Quantico, Va. I have
more than 28 years of progres-
sive law enforcement experi-
ence with the Wilkes-Barre
Police, retiring as chief of
police. I am currently employ-
ed by an area college as a
safety and security director.
Please be assured that in all
my years of public service, my
honesty and integrity have
never been challenged.
Mrs. Urbans references to
ingrained corruption, nepo-
tism, graft and threats to our
Bill of Rights in her very
negative mailings are blatant
attacks and an insult to other
veterans, government officials
and public servants who are
proud of what they do every
day and hold their personal
integrity in high esteem.
I am humbly requesting
your vote for re-election to
Wilkes-Barre City Council
District D on Nov. 8, which
will allow me to continue to
represent and serve all the
residents of our great city.
Bill Barrett
Councilman
Wilkes-Barre
Williams will do
the county proud
T
he second most important
governing election in Lu-
zerne County history will
occur on Nov. 8. The first was
last years election when coun-
ty voters adopted a home rule
charter that replaces our cur-
rent, three-commissioner
structure with an 11-member
council with an appointed
county manager. The home
rule charter takes full effect on
Jan. 2, 2012.
With a new framework in
hand for restoring integrity to
county governance, its the
responsibility of voters to
populate the council with
members who will validate the
goals of home rule. I strongly
urge voters to review the pro-
files and credentials of all the
council candidates and ask:
Will this candidate be the
best choice for implementing
the positive changes needed
to restore voter confidence in
county government?
The importance of selecting
the best candidates cannot be
overstated.
Home rule will not achieve
the level of government re-
form that residents deserve if
candidates are elected for the
wrong reasons or if they in-
tend to corrupt the home-rule
process by bringing backward-
thinking politics to the table.
Our county deserves forward-
thinking, independent voices
such as Rick Williams, who
have no other agenda beyond
maximizing the potential of
the home rule charter to bring
honesty, integrity and fairness
back to county government.
Vote Rick Williams and help
lock in a new era of govern-
ment that makes us proud to
be Luzerne County residents.

Consider Mullen
on Election Day
L
ibertarian refers to liber-
ty. And it is Libertarian
candidate Tim Mullens
mission to liberate taxpayers
from the yoke of higher taxes.
Tim Mullen, a candidate for
Luzerne County Council, is a
decorated combat veteran, but
now he wages a different kind
of campaign. He aims to show
the same valor he showed on
the battlefield in combating
corruption in the Luzerne
County Courthouse.
I know that he is fiercely
independent, but also very
thoughtful and honest. Hes
also quite street smart and
sees through baloney. He will
be neither deceived nor intim-
idated if elected.
One of his primary goals is
to address the countys enor-
mous debt before interest
rates rise. Libertarian Party
members such as Mullen have
a firm resolution to support a
small, efficient government
that allows for maximum
liberty. It is this principle that
allows them to see through
schemes. This means that
Mullen will be able to advise
the county manager as to
which endeavors should be
avoided.
But Tims defining attribute
is his heart; and this is why he
can be seen each week at the
Farmers Market or at bazaars,
handing out his campaign
cards and meeting people. I
believe that his heart is also
what led him to run as a third-
party candidate.
Tim isnt perfect, and he
readily admits the he is not
the best candidate in every
category. But Mullen has all
the intangible traits: firm
principles, bravery, wits and
the dedication necessary to
carry out his duties well.
I am grateful that I have a
candidate for whom to vote as
good as Tim, since they are
hard to come by. I encourage
all voters to consider him Nov.
8.

Board candidates
vow to cut costs
W
e, as candidates for
Wyoming Area School
Board, are sensitive to
the ongoing economic condi-
tions. We all are experiencing
higher grocery bills, increased
home heating costs, escalating
gas prices, along with the
pain, suffering and devastation
that the recent flooding has
caused. We are aware that
these challenging times have
put an extra strain on family
budgets.
Unfortunately, this situation
is compounded by the recent
mailings of school taxes,
which are due at the end of
the year. We know of the chal-
lenges you face and, as your
elected officials, we too are
faced with the daunting chal-
lenge of balancing the district
budget while being fair to you,
the taxpayers.
We see the major issue
facing the district as surging
health care costs. Family cov-
erage for a district employee
(husband, wife and child)
costs the district more than
$21,000 per year. The districts
yearly cost for employee
health care is $2.8 million,
with zero contributions from
union-represented employees.
In addition, state reimburse-
ment under Gov. Tom Cor-
betts administration has de-
clined more than $1 million
for the fiscal year 2011-12.
We propose to cut expendi-
tures by asking that teachers
take part in contributing to
their own health care, as we
do, and as all other profession-
als and members of the pri-
vate sector do. We think thats
fair.
That is why we both voted
no to increased taxes at the
June budget meeting. We
believe the answer for our
school district is in cutting
expenditures, not increasing
your taxes.
We recognize that the great-
est source of our success as a
district lies with its people,
our outstanding teachers and
dedicated employees. Our
pledge to you is that during
these difficult economic times,
all of our decisions will be
made in the best interest of
students, always keeping in
mind our already overbur-
dened taxpayer, without com-
promising the quality educa-
tion that Wyoming Area stu-
dents and our community
expect.

Wyoming Area School Board
Writer: Duo fails
for Wyoming Area
T
he clich ignorance is
bliss must have been
coined by people who
desired to maintain control
without interference from
those who were being con-
trolled. This philosophy seem-
ingly has been the motto of
the Wyoming Area School
Board majority for a good
many years and has led to the
financial crisis facing the sdis-
trict today.
Now more than ever, trans-
parency in governance is es-
sential.
Over the past few years, too
little has been done by the
Wyoming Area board majority
to manage expenditures, de-
spite concerns voiced by my-
self and the business manager.
And here is where the prob-
lem lies.
We have heard about the
$20 million loan that was
taken out in 2005 for high
school construction and how
the new school board majority
saved the day by scaling back
the construction to save mon-
ey. Well, since that time, about
$1.5 million of that money has
been used each year to help
balance the budget by paying
the interest on loans. As I
predicted in a letter to the
Sunday Dispatch in 2009, this
money will be depleted by the
end of 2011. Well, guess what?
Yep, its 2011.
Because of this practice,
over the past few years, the
fund balance has dropped
from about $4 million in 2003-
2004 to less than $1 million in
2011-2012. Unfortunately, the
current fund balance could
easily be used up to pay for
the flood-damage repairs to
Montgomery Avenue Ele-
mentary if payments are not
made available from insurance
and/or the Federal Emergen-
cy Management Agency.
The recent flooding of
towns in the Wyoming Area
district will result in less local
revenue generated from prop-
erty taxes because some busi-
nesses will not be returning
and some homes have been
condemned. This represents
yet another unanticipated
blow to the budget.
Not only is revenue going
down, but expenditures are
going up. Health care costs
are projected to increase by 15
percent, the state has indicat-
ed that retirement contribu-
tions provided by the district
will increase, and then there is
the usual inflation rate that
increase the costs of running a
district.
Please be aware that the
financial crisis facing Wyom-
ing Area did not happen with-
out the warnings. Much more
could have been done over the
past few years to soften the
blow. But the board majority
refused to be proactive!
Wyoming Area taxpayers,
ignorance is not bliss. The
fiscal crisis at Wyoming Area
is a reality, and while it is due
in part to the nature of our
nations economy, it is due in
large part to a school board
majority that put its interests
ahead of yours. Now it is up to
you to do your part and vote
for candidates who value
transparency, accountability,
honesty, and intelligence not
the politics as usual for which
Toni Valenti and Nick DeAn-
gelo stand.

MAIL BAG LETTERS FROM READERS
Texas, where rig workers are
used to raising hell and getting a
pass from law enforcement.
Youcando that (stuff) andget
away with it, Bourque said. In
Pennsylvania, they look at it to-
tally different.
Leaving a diner in Towanda in
northern Pennsylvania, Jason
Phillips, a 30-year-old drilling-
equipment supervisor from
Coldspring, Texas, said the prob-
lem is not really the drilling in-
dustry its young people mak-
ing a lot of money. As for him-
self, he said, Imnot too much of
a wild person.
The boom in drilling has been
made possible by horizontal drill-
ing and hydraulic fracturing, or
fracking, a technique that cracks
open rock layers to free natural
gas. Large numbers of workers
are needed to operate drilling
equipment, drive trucks, handle
chemicals, lay pipeline and per-
form other tasks.
The hours are long. Some em-
ployees put in two weeks on, two
weeks off. But entry-level labor-
ers or truck drivers can make
$40,000 or more, while workers
on the drilling rigs can easily pull
down twice that. Their employ-
ers often pick up the tab for ho-
tels, meals and practically every-
thing else.
In Sweetwater County, Wyo.,
where natural gas exploration
boomed about a decade ago, the
population increased from
37,600 in 2000 to 43,800 in 2010,
and arrests for drunkenness,
drugs and DUI more than dou-
bledfrom603 in2000 to a peak of
1,535 in 2008, according to state
figures.
Since then, the numbers have
eased to 1,128 in 2010, a decline
that sheriffs spokesman Detec-
tive Dick Blust Jr. credited to the
sluggish national economy.
In Pennsylvanias Bradford
County, DUI arrests by state
troopers are on track to rise 40
percent this year after climbing
60 percent last year, District At-
torney Dan Barrett said. The
number of sentences handed out
for criminal offenses was up 35
percent in 2010, he said.
Sheriff ClintonWalters saidhis
officers are handling about a 25
percent increase fromlast year in
everything from warrants for
people who fail to appear incourt
to protection-from-abuse orders.
The flood of arrests is such that
his offices van is no longer big
enough to transport all the in-
mates at once from jail to court,
Walters said.
Stories abound about friction
between locals and out-of-town-
ers, whether road rage incidents
or fights over women.
Renee Daly, 27, of Montrose,
Pa., said she knows of at least
three marriages that ended when
local women abandoned their
husbands for gas-field workers.
Its because of these Southern
gentlemen, with their Southern
accents, and the girls move in
with these guys to take care of
them, she said. You get to
spend their money, and theyre
gone two weeks at a time.
Wearing a T-shirt emblazoned
My Indian name is crawling
drunk, Jeanette Pratt, a title
searcher from Monroe, La., who
travels the country for the gas in-
dustry and was on assignment re-
cently in Montrose, said the dif-
ference is that the out-of-town rig
workers have a lot more money
to party with than the locals.
In the North Dakota boom-
townof Williston, somebars have
become rough, and the number
of domestic-disturbance calls
and arrests for such crimes as
DUI, assault and theft in just the
first half of 2011was twice the to-
tal for all of 2010, said Busching,
the sheriff.
Busching and Williston police
are scrambling to hire but say
they cant pay enough for their
new officers to afford the high
rents, and many would-be local
applicants have opted for a high-
er paycheck in the drilling indus-
try.
I have increased staff, and Im
going to increase again, but I
cant until I find a place for them
to live, Busching said. Williston
Police Capt. Tom Ladwig said he
has been hiring from police aca-
demies inMinnesota andhas offi-
cers staying on couches in col-
leagues apartments until they
can find their own places.
Doctors are treating more pa-
tients for chlamydia, a sexually
transmitted disease, in some of
the biggest oil-producing coun-
ties in western North Dakota
237 cases in 2010 compared with
145 in 2008 although the
states disease-control chief, Kir-
by Kruger, said that it is difficult
to call three years of data a real
trend.
Therearealsorumors of prosti-
tution.
In rural southern Texas, where
exploration for oil and gas in the
Eagle Ford Shale is just getting
under way, Robert Garza, police
chief inthe townof Dilley, saidhe
has heard talk about plans to
build a club down in the boo-
nies that would supply prosti-
tutes to drilling industry work-
ers.
Police departments in the area
have reported unusual activity in
recent months: early morning
traffic stops with very young, at-
tractive girls in BMWs from the
Houston area, at least a five-hour
drive from Dilley, Garza said.
Back in Pennsylvania, a Brad-
fordCounty commissioner, Doug
McLinko, said the crime spike
doesnt change his mind about
the importance of the drilling
boom to the local economy. Oth-
er states, he said, would cut an
arm off to have such a surge.
Im always a little apprehen-
sive about painting this as a big
problem around the county, be-
cause it just isnt, McLinko said.
A lot of these people are really
well-behaved. ... To a large de-
gree, is it out of control or a major
issue? Absolutely not.

WASHINGTON Mitt
Romney may need a censor.
For himself.
In the last few weeks in Ne-
vada, the man who owns sever-
al homes told the state hit
tough by the housing crisis:
Dont try and stop the foreclo-
sure process. Let it run its
course and hit the bottom.
At one point in Iowa, earlier
this year, the former venture
capitalist uttered, Corpora-
tions are people, with the
country in the midst of a de-
bate over Wall Street vs. Main
Street. At an event in econom-
ically suffering Florida, the re-
tiree who is a multimillio-
naire many times over told
out-of-work voters, Im also
unemployed.
Over the past year, the Re-
publican presidential candi-
date has amassed a collection
of off-the-cuff comments that
expose his vulnerabilities and,
taken together, cast himas out-
of-touch with Americans who
face staggering unemploy-
ment, widespread foreclosures
and a dire outlook on the econ-
omy.
So far, the foot-in-mouth re-
marks havent seemed to affect
his standing in the nomination
race.
Romney has run a far more
cautious and disciplined cam-
paign than his losing bid of
four years ago. Hes kept the fo-
cus on his core message: Hes
the strongest candidate able to
beat President Barack Obama
on the biggest issue of the cam-
paign, the economy. He still
enjoys leading positions in
public opinion polls in early
primary states and across the
nation. Few, if any, of the other
Republicans in the race have
turned his remarks against
him.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Rom-
neys chief rival with the mon-
ey to prove it, is all but certain
to try. Perry has already start-
ed suggesting that Romney
lives a life of privilege while he
comes from humble roots. In
an interview Friday with CNN,
another GOP candidate, for-
mer Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman,
paintedRomney as a perfectly
lubricated weather vane on the
important issues of the day.
And Romneys eyebrow-rais-
ing comments are tailor-made
for critical TV ads.
Look no further than the
Democratic Party andObamas
advisers for proof of that.
Each time Romney says
something that makes even his
closest aides grimace, Demo-
crats quickly put together a
Web video highlighting the re-
mark a preview of certain
lines of attack come the gener-
al election should the former
Massachusetts governor win
the nomination.
Mitt Romneys message to
Arizona? Youre on your own,
says a newad by the Democrat-
ic National Committee that
jumps on Romneys foreclo-
sure remarks.
Romneys team publicly dis-
misses their bosss occasional
loose lips, dismissing them as
inconsequential to voters fo-
cused on an unemployment
rate hovering around 9 per-
cent.
Its a long campaign and at
the end of the day people are
going to judge Gov. Romney
and his ability to take on Presi-
dent Obama over jobs and the
economy. And certainly there
will be a lot of back and forth as
the campaignprogresses, said
Russ Schriefer, a Romney strat-
egist.
This election will be decid-
ed on big issues because the is-
sues are so big and so impor-
tant, Schriefer said. And not
on a gaffe or a mistake or a mo-
ment, any particularly mo-
ment.
Expect to hear Romneys im-
politic comments frequently as
Republicans and Democrats
alike try to derail Romney.

It wasnt love at first sight.
When I was a little girl, my fa-
ther bribed me to practice with
candy, ice cream, toys, whatever
a kid wants. If I practiced well, I
would get a Snickers Bar, said
Gohar Vardanyan, 26, who began
to appreciate the classical guitar
about eight years later, as a 13-
year-old student in the pre-col-
lege division of the Juilliard
School.
Other kids my age were taking
it seriously. I
wasnt the only
one anymore,
she said. It was
cool.
The ac-
claimed guita-
rist, who won
the prestigious

in her native Ar-

Not many Grateful Dead fans are
afforded the chance to play with their
heroes. Then again, not many have
the talents of John Kadlecik.
A self-taught guitar whiz its one
of multiple instruments hes mas-
tered the Iowa-born free spirit took
his love and respect for the songs of
the seminal rock-folk-bluegrass band
and decided to re-create them on
stage with a group of fellow Dead-
adoring musicians.
The result was Dark Star Orches-
tra, one of the pre-eminent Grateful
Dead tribute acts, which Kadlecik
co-founded in 1997.
Fast forward to 2009, and Kadlecik
was tendered an offer that would al-
low him to dig even deeper into the
catalogue he so admires: the oppor-
tunity to join former Dead members
Bob Weir and Phil Lesh in Furthur,
the pairs eclectic jam band.
The tour stops in Wilkes-Barre on
Saturday night, playing what likely
will be a lengthy set of Grateful Dead
classics and rock standards at the
Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.
To play with Bob and Phil is an
honor. Everyone in the band is top-
notch, but obviously Bob and Phil
have quite a history, Kadlecik says.
Indeed they do. The two co-found-
ing members of the Grateful Dead
are revered as both musical and cul-
tural figures, along with beloved vo-
calist-guitarist Jerry Garcia, who
died of a heart attack in 1995.
Its Garcias guitar and vocal parts
that Kadlecik primarily handles on
stage, but he bristles at the notion
hes replacing anyone and waves off
any comparison to the plot of the
2001 film Rock Star, in which a trib-
ute artist is asked to join the band he
idolizes.
There are some big distinctions,
and Im not replacing a guy who got
fired, Kadlecik says of the differenc-
es in his story. Id like to think that it
was my familiarity with the reper-
toire that got me the gig more than
being a sound-alike.
Kadlecik attended his first of more
than 60 Dead concerts in 1989 at the
Rosemont Horizon outside Chicago,
where he lived for 15 years. At the
time, he was already a devoted stu-
dent of music and music theory but
found it difficult not to be inspired by

rans-Siberian Orchestra has
been bringing its dazzling holi-
day showto Northeastern Penn-
sylvania for more than10years, but it has
never kickedoff oneof its highlysuccess-
ful tours in Wilkes-Barre. Until now.
The popular combination heavy-metal
band and symphony orchestra will take
over the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey
Plaza for two shows Friday. The matinee
begins at 4 p.m., while the nightcap gets
under way at 8 p.m.
For some reason, I love Wilkes-
Barre in particular, TSO founding
member and composer/arranger/
producer/guitarist Paul ONeill told
The Times Leader a fewdays before
beginning rehearsals. Years ago,
the water was out inthe entire build-
ing, and we thought no one would
show up; the place was packed.
Wilkes-Barre has always been a
special place for the band, ONeill
continued. That wholearea has just
embraced the band from the begin-
ning. We usually start our tours in
Ohio, but this year we decided we
would kick it off in Wilkes-Barre.
This years show will highlight
TSOs triple-platinum debut album
Christmas Eve and Other Stories
in its entirety in the first half and
songs from new project Gutter Bal-
let and The New York Blues Ex-
press in the second.
The latter is an example of what
ONeill calls Rock Theater.
It takes the best of what Broad-
way has to offer, the easy-to-follow,
great storytelling, and marries it
with rock-n-roll standards of great
singing and great musicianship, he
said.
Fans canget a front-rowseat at the
creation of the genre in TSOs latest

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Youll be in tune with what
your body needs and
doesnt need, for that
matter. You may crave an
unusual food, decide to try
a new kind of movement
or give up a habit thats
producing less than opti-
mum results.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Whats right for you isnt
the same thing thats rec-
ommended by the teach-
ers, leaders and experts
around you. It takes cour-
age to go forward without
evidence that your way
will work. Your gut instinct
wont lie, though.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You know youre support-
ed, even though that sup-
port may be rather intan-
gible right now. Friends are
wishing you well, and you
can feel their encourage-
ment on the breeze.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Your heroes started out
with a lot less material
wealth and knowledge and
fewer resources than you
have available to you right
now. Ask them for help, if
only in your head. Call on
them to open your eyes to
opportunity.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Someone recognizes your
deep, soulful desire even
though you never said
out loud what it is. This
is no small coincidence;
its a sign of an unfolding
miracle.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Negative thoughts become
reality just like positive
thoughts do. Stay posi-
tive. Your connection with
a fellow earth sign will
help matters and thats
Capricorn or Taurus.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You have dreams that
have never seen the light
of day. Maybe you havent
even uttered them to your
nearest and dearest. They
need air to grow. Bring
them into the open. Write
them in a notebook. Its an
excellent start!
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Youll make phone calls,
line up appointments and
generally get busy prepar-
ing for a certain reality.
Make sure its the reality
you want instead of the
one you fear.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Youre not alone.
You have lots of friends,
many of whom are invis-
ible. Thats why, even
when youre by yourself,
you feel a wonderful sense
of belonging. A silent
community showers you
with love.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Your mood may go
up and down if you allow
yourself to be a victim of
circumstances. So dont
allow it. Remind yourself
that youre the creator
here, and you can create
happiness from wherever
you are.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Every time you read, you
learn something. But its
action that will really drive
the lesson home. Youll get
your hands dirty with the
nuts and bolts of making
a project work, and youll
love every minute.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You wont waste time try-
ing to make things fit that
just dont. Your life is like
a puzzle. The pieces that
dont belong in your pic-
ture will be gently cast to
the side. They are part of
another puzzle.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Oct.
30). Your productiv-
ity will be astounding
through the end of the
year. Whoever resisted
you or stood in your way
will retreat and allow you
to do your thing for the
next 10 weeks. Youll flesh
out a romantic notion in
November. January brings
an important sale. In April,
your bold action will win
over a VIP. Capricorn and
Sagittarius people adore
you. Your lucky numbers
are: 7, 10, 34, 40 and 15.

DEAR ABBY
Woman is mad that her
boyfriends dad cheats
Dear Abby:
I have been
dating Cam-
eron for five
years. Were
in graduate
school, have
a wonderful relationship and
are discussing marriage. I
get along well with his par-
ents, but some things have
just come out about his fa-
ther and I dont know how to
deal with it.
Two years ago we discov-
ered that Camerons father
had been having an affair.
He promised to stop seeing
the woman, get a restrain-
ing order so shed leave
him alone and work on his
marriage. It seems he lied.
We have found out (again)
that he has continued to
see her. Cameron was morti-
fied both times and sad his
father would treat his moth-
er this way.
His mother said shed
try counseling with him,
and if he didnt live up to
his promise, shed divorce
him. It has been months and
theyre still in counseling.
His dad isnt allowed to live
at home with her.
Im furious with Camerons
father for being such an
idiot. I dont want to see
him (one of Camerons sis-
ters has cut him out of her
life completely), but Cam-
eron thinks his father will
hurt himself if we all leave
him. Please tell me how
to handle this because
although I never want to
see the man again, I may
have to.
Walking On Eggshells in
Delaware
Dear Walking On Egg-
shells: Camerons parents
marriage has hit a rough
patch. However, theyre
both trying to repair it.
While you may be disgusted
with Camerons father,
you have no reason to be
furious with him his
wife does. So for everyones
sake, cool off and think
rationally.
If your boyfriends
parents manage to reconcile,
youll be seeing them
with some regularity
and they will need all of
the emotional support they
can get. If they decide to
divorce, it will be up to
Cameron to decide how
close he wishes to remain
with his father. Please do
not add fuel to an already
explosive situation.
Everyones suffering
enough as it is.

the expert playing he wit-
nessed that night.
I was already an aspiring
artist, so I was trying to not be
overly influenced. I wasnt try-
ing to analyze details or get to
the front row so I could watch
Jerrys fingers or
whatever. I just
enjoyed it for
what it was, he
says. But the ac-
tual soloing and
style of it came to
me almost instant-
ly. That happens
with almost any
guitar player that
I enjoy and see
live more than
once. Their play-
ing is going to in-
fluence me, and I
dont really have a
choice.
Because of that,
Kadlecik, who al-
so fronts his own
group, the John K
Band, in the Wash-
ington, D.C., area,
usually seeks out
the more abstract
sounds of jazz on
nights off. That type of music
is harder for me to latch on to.
I tend to go see stuff like that
because it doesnt instantly
turn into a transcription in my
head, he laughs.
While Weir and Lesh right-
fully steer the Furthur ship,
Kadlecik says the other mem-
bers of the seven-piece band
are encouraged to offer their
ideas for each nights spraw-
ling set lists. At a pair of recent
performances in Los Angeles,
the band touched on every-
thing from Attics of My Life
and Ripple to Sugar Magno-
lia and a cover of Traffics
Dear Mr. Fantasy.
Theres no telling what the
musicians might decide to
play Saturday night at the Mo-
hegan Sun Arena, but that leg-
endary Dead vibe of peace,
love and unpredictability is
guaranteed.
Furthur is about the live ex-
perience more than a nostalgia
thing. Its the idea of trying to
be present in the
moment. That ex-
perience is why
the age difference
(at Dead shows)
got wider and
wider while Jerry
was alive, Kadle-
cik says, going on
to offer a 21st-cen-
tury reason for the
enduring popular-
ity of the group.
The fact that the
band has allowed
their music to be
online in their ar-
chives is part of
why there are
younger fans get-
ting on board now.
Theyre like,
heres this band
that is offering
thousands of
hours of music for
free. I think thats
a big one.
Still, Kadlecik says, apart
from the music, it all comes
back to that liberating experi-
ence, the tradition of following
the band wherever the road
might take you.
The Dead were romanticiz-
ing the days of hopping a
freight, he says. They were
one of the last American ad-
ventures that you could em-
bark upon.

Charles Dickens publishedhis
first story ina Londonmonthly
at age 22. Althoughhe wasnt
paidandit appearedwithout his
name, he was so overcome with
joy andpride it took himhalf an
hour to recover. Whenhe diedof
a stroke 36 years later, he had
earneda fortune many times
over andhadbeenhailedas the
greatest novelist of the19th
century.
The story of howDickens rose
to suchheights froma modest
background, forcedto leave
school at 15 by his parents, who
couldno longer affordthe fees, is
no less epic thanhis sprawling
novels. Now, a splendidhistory
by the notedEnglishbiographer
andjournalist Claire Tomalinhas
beenpublished, just months
before the bicentennial of Dick-
ens Feb. 7, 1812, birth.
It is a tale of two Dickens: the
tenderheartedsocial critic witha
soft spot for prostitutes, orphans
andthe disabled, andthe raging
egomaniac, who dumpedthe
wife who bore him10 children
because she was fat anddull and
he hadfallenhardfor anactress,
Nelly Ternan, 27 years his junior.
Scholarly but accessible, the
book vividly conjures the idyllic
countryside outside London,
where Dickens spent his boy-
hood, andthenthe sooty dis-
tricts of the rapidly industri-
alizing city, where he set himself
onthe pathto becoming a writer.
Tomalinskillfully presents the
chief trauma of Dickens young
life being sent to work ina
factory at age12, after his father
was imprisonedfor debt and
suggests the ways it left a lasting
mark, fromhis sympathy for the
working class to his towering
ambitionandHerculeanwork
ethic.
ThoughTomalinrightly cele-
brates Dickens genius, she is
cleareyedabout his faults, as a
writer anda humanbeing.
She quotes his daughter Ka-
tey: He was not a goodman...
but he was wonderful! Among
his sins, the creator of Tiny Tim
andLittle Nell neglectedhis own
children. Of the10, only two
forgedanything like aninde-
pendent pathto success.
It didnt muchmatter; Dickens
knewwhat his legacy wouldbe.
His will stipulates no memorial.
I rest my claims to the remem-
brance of my country uponmy
publishedworks, he wrote.
Andhe was right to do so.
Ebenezer Scrooge, Oliver Twist,
the Artful Dodger, Faginthese
andso many other unforgettable
characters he createdwill live
forever inour imagination.
Dickens bio
in time for
bicentennial
By ANN LEVIN
For The Associated Press
Charles Dickens: A Life (The
Penguin Press), by Claire Tomalin:
A
nne Enright doesnt believe in leading readers gently into any-
thing certainly not an affair. In The Forgotten Waltz, the
Irish writer plunges us headlong into the world of Gina Moynihan,
youngITconsultant andadulteress at large.
Gina is not so much an unreliable
narrator as someone obsessed with
her own unreliability. Dissecting her
love affair with married man Sean Val-
lely, she constantly doubles back on
her own thoughts and memories,
gamelytryingtopinpoint the moment
when her conventional middle-class
life complete with husband and
mortgagedissolvedintosomething
darker and more complicated.
Her tone is oftenwry. : That all you
have todois sleepwithsomebody and
get caught and you never have to see
your in-laws again. Ever. Pffft! Gone.
Its the nearest thing to magic I have
yet found, Gina brags.
The real magic is in Enrights prose,
whichburrows intocharacters like fin-
gernails into skin, peeling back the
hidden layers of ordinary interactions
and momentary thoughts. Material
that another writer might string
across a whole book, Enright burns up
in a page, like its nothing, using it to
create a jagged portrait of Dublin dur-
ing the recent boom.
When the novel opens, the air is
crackling with real estate lust and In-
ternet startups. Gina collides with
Sean at a European conference: Shes
there for a panel on International In-
ternet Strategy, while hes presenting
The Culture of Money. They find
themselves sleepingtogether, withve-
ry little ceremony: It seemed that
choice had nothing to do with it, or
that I had chosen a long time ago. Not
him, necessarily, but this; waiting for
the lift in sudden silence with a man
whodidnot evenbothertocourt me. ...
Maybe it was the drink, but my sense
of time was undone, as idly as a set of
shoelaces, that you do not notice until
you look down.
Althoughsheis alreadymarriedtoa
sweet tech guy who is working all
hours tokeepupwiththemortgageon
their apartment, Gina throws herself
into a sexual dalliance with Sean as if
its a grand adventure. But even as she
is remembering the gorgeous highs of
flirting and secrecy, Gina recounts her
ambivalence. After we made love
which we always did first, for fear, al-
most, of becoming friends after-
wards, when it was safe, Sean would
talktome about his life andI wouldbe
interested.
Other details temper Ginas lovers

Seanthat she doesnt notice her moth-

er slipping from flakiness into ill-
ness, forinstance. Orthat theecon-
omy is collapsing around them,
pulling mortgages under water
and forcing Gina to lay off her col-
leagues.
Theres also the nagging prob-
lemof Seansyoungdaughter, Evie.
Hovering over the novel like a
chubby, unpredictable ghost, Evie
has some kind of mysterious issue
aneurological condition, maybe
that causes her parents endless
anxiety. AndthoughGina revels in
her own freedom, the little girl is a
reminder that the affair has the
power to derail several lives.
(T)hat is thethingabout stolen
love, it is important toknowwhoit
is you are stealing from, Gina
notes archly.
Enrights early fiction was filled
withwisps of fantasy (inThe Wig
My Father Wore, an angel moves
inwithaTVgameshowproducer),
whileher2007novel, TheGather-
ing, which won the Man Booker
Prize, offered something more
denseandmournful initsstoryof a
woman trying to understand her
brothers suicide.
In The Forgotten Waltz, En-
right balances rapture and grief
as Gina discovers while trying to
explain events in an orderly way,
thesethingstendtobleedtogether.
The novel does lose some of its
buoyancy as the love and money
bubbles start to waver, though.
Things that once looked so tempt-
ing now feel threadbare and rou-
tine.
But there are no simple judg-
ments in this darkly funny book
about adultery: just aclear-eyedac-
counting of what was spent and
what was lost. As Gina quips,
Who would have thought love
could be so expensive?

gan in the 1970s as a guitarist
with touring productions of Je-

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. Mil-
itary museums allow visitors to
experience the rough and tumble
jerk of a parachute jump, the
barked orders of an Army drill
sergeant or the segregated train-
ing endured by the first African-
Americans to enter the Marine
Corps.
Whether you are a hardened
military veteran or one whos
never worn a uniform, several
military museums in the Caroli-
nas offer extensive lessons inmil-
itary service as the Nov. 11 Veter-
ans Day draws near.
In Fayetteville, N.C., the soar-
ing Airborne and Special Oper-
ations Museum attracts between
120,000 to 175,000 visitors every
year and tells the story of how
Americas military developed the
strategy of dropping fully-armed
soldiers into battle from the
skies. A 15-foot sculpture of the
paratrooper dubbed Iron Mike
stands guard at its glass-and-gir-
der front entry, which evokes
both the 250-foot jump towers
that paratroopers use to trainand
the wingspan of the C-47 aircraft
that droppedsoldiers onto battle-
fields in World War II.
Located just minutes off Inter-
state 95 in downtown Fayette-
ville, N.C., the museum is hold-
ing a weeklong celebration in ad-
vance of Veterans Day, says Paul
Galloway, executive director of
the foundation that supported
construction of the $25 million
building.
Well be hopping and pop-
ping. We do a salute to veterans
every year, Galloway said. A
weekof films about the Army and
paratroopers will be held the
week prior to the holiday, as well
as other events to honor military
men and women, Galloway said.
As soon as you enter the mu-
seum, youspot a WorldWar II-era
paratrooper in combat gear float-
ing out of the sky under a yellow
28-foot-wide parachute. Behind
him, another model drops from
the heavens, a modern Army
Ranger buoyed by a light green,
honeycombed parachute used by
U.S. Special Forces.
A wild ride can be had in the
museums 24-seat platform mo-
tion simulator, recreating the
bumps and jumps of parachute
drops and rides in military vehi-
cles.
To highlight some of the major
events of wartime paratroopers,
visitors first stroll through a rec-
reated village in Normandy. Re-
cordings from the June 1944 Al-
lied invasion to liberate France
from Nazi Germany put visitors
in the heat of the battle, with
rockets andbullets screechingby.
Overhead, a C-47 Skytrain air-
craft hovers with a U.S. Army
paratrooper poised to jump out
an open door.
Walkways are papered with
still photos, videos and murals
that showthe history behind U.S.
forces that evolved into the
famed Special Operations units,
designated to take on unconven-
tional warfare and special mis-
sions in foreign lands.
Displays from the war in the
Pacific, the Korean War and Cold
War are shown. In one display,
soldiers jump from a UH-1
Huey helicopter into a jungle
battle raging in Vietnam. Other
displays detail the history of U.S.
involvement in the Dominican
Republic, Panama and Grenada.
Americas conflicts in the Mid-
dle East are recalled with models
of camouflaged soldiers crouch-
ing in desert hideouts in Iraq.
Others depict U.S. Special Oper-
ations forces meetingfor tea with
Afghan villagers or medical cen-
ters where military medics tend
to local children.
The latest addition to the Ar-
mys military museums is the Ar-
mys Basic Training Combat Mu-
seum located on Fort Jackson, in
Columbia, S.C., which reopened
in July after a two-year renova-
tion.
More than 60,000 male and fe-
malesoldiers graduateeveryyear
from basic training at Fort Jack-
son, which is the Armys largest
training site. The museum offers
guests and family members a
taste of their grueling10 weeks of
indoctrination and combat train-
ing.
The museum boasts a num-
ber of high-speed exhibits that
zoomin directly on howcivilians
are turned into soldiers, interwo-
ven with Fort Jacksons past,
said the two-star general in
charge of the post, Maj. Gen.
James Milano.
Visitors may be startledby drill
sergeants who appear in holo-
graphic images bellowing com-
mands, allowing them to feel as
if he or she has enlisted in the Ar-
my and is standing there in their
Army Combat Uniform, Milano
says.
Check out a fully loaded duffel
bag, or try to lift and shoot an Ar-
my rifle. Listen as soldiers march
by and learn some of the drill ser-
geants cadence calls that keep
soldiers sharp and in step.
The museum gives visitors a
sense of howrough training once
was with displays of World War I-
era barracks, complete with
wood-burning, pot-bellied
stoves, metal beds andmodest ra-
tions.
While most Marines recall
their basic training taking place
either at Parris Island, S.C., or
Camp Pendleton, Calif., there is a
third site few know about: the
MontfordPoint MarineMuseum,
located near Camp Lejeune,
N.C., at Camp Gilbert H. John-
son.
We are the Marine Corps ba-
sic training site youve never
heard of, jokes Finney Greggs, a
retiredMarine anddirector of the
small museum located in one of
the original white wooden, single
story barracks buildings where
African-Americans were segre-
gatedfromwhite Marines as they
trained from1942 to 1949.
The museumholds photos, let-
ters, uniforms and other memen-
tos from blacks who endured
tough training to earn the eagle,
globe and anchor Corps insignia
and disprove the notion they we-
rent worthy because of the color
of their skin.
African-Americans gained en-
try to the Marines after President
Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an
executive order forcing the com-
mandant to allow them to train.
In 1948, President Harry S Tru-
man signed an executive order
that desegregated the military
services, and all Marines went to
boot camp at either Parris Island
or Camp Pendleton.
Greggs says the museum is
seeking material for displays and
is looking for information about
any veterans who may have
trained at Montford Point and
saw duty in World War II. Orga-
nizers are also looking ahead to
building a second phase dealing
with the history of these Marines
in the Korean War and Vietnam.

Story and Photos by
Marianne Tucker Puhalla
Advertising Projects Writer
Thanks to renovations just four years
ago, this 3,000 square foot Cape Cod in
the Hilltop Manor section of Lain is in
like-new condition. Freshly painted in
easy-to-decorate neutral colors, this four-
bedroom home at 22 Dogwood Dr. has
been lovingly updated and is in move-in
condition.
Listed by Chris Jones of Prudential
Poggi & Jones Real Estate for $218,900,
the property includes a .45-acre lot on
a dead-end street with plenty of mature
landscaping and a multi-tiered deck for
enjoying the wooded setting.
See all this property has to of fer at
an Open House today from 12 noon
until 1:30 p.m.
The exterior is wrapped in vinyl siding
with Colonial red shutters and front door.
Guests are welcomed though the front
door, which leads into the 12-by-15 dining
room. It is here that you get the rst look
at striking hardwood oors that span
much of the main level of the home. This
dining room has tan walls, a staircase to
the second oor and two single windows
front.
The hardwood continues to the right
into the adjacent 20-by-15 living room.
This room also has tan walls that are ac-
cented by an oak chair rail. It is a bright
room, lled with natural light, thanks to
a double window front and sliding doors
that open rear to the deck. Slate tile
forms a threshold inside the patio doors
forming a walk-way leading to the nearby
door that opens to the attached two-car
garage.
The nearby kitchen has a large eat-in
area and shares in the view provided
by the nearby sliding doors. Here, oak
cabinets have newly installed black and
tan speckled laminate countertops and
are accented by a new stove and new
dishwasher. There is a large amount of
countertop workspace and cabinet stor-
age, including a pantry closet. There is
also an appliance garage and a double
stainless steel sink with a window above
that opens rear. A refrigerator is also
included.
A nearby hallway offers a door to the
basement and leads to the two bedrooms
and full bath on the rst oor.
The bath offers a tan ceramic tile oor
and an oak vanity with a cream, blue and
white cultured marble sink. A one-piece
tub and shower surround and linen closet
complete the picture.
The rst bedroom on this level mea-
sures 18-by-15 and features more of the
oak hardwood ooring, tan walls and two
Like-new flooring highlights Laflin Cape Cod

The fourth bedroom measures 10-by-15 and also
has a dormered window front along with windows
side and rear. This room has antique white walls
