GENEVA A diplomatic breakthrough
Saturday on securing and destroying Syrias
chemical weapons stockpile averted the threat
of U.S. military action for the moment and
could swing momentum toward ending a hor-
ric civil war.
Marathon negotiations between U.S. and
Russian diplomats at a Geneva hotel produced
a sweeping agreement that will require one
of the most ambitious arms-control efforts in
history.
The deal involves making an inventory and

Fred Adams | For The Times Leader
Luzerne County Councilman Edward Brominski questions the quality of landscape and other maintenance at the River Common recreation
area in downtown Wilkes-Barre.
HANOVER TWP. In
a front room of an Oxford
Street property, Adam Peters
stored his new refrigerators,
kitchen cabinets and toilets
to be installed in the four
units of this soon-to-be reno-
vated apartment building.
He expects the work to be
done and ready for tenants in
two months.
The opening couldnt come
soon enough for Peters, a
Montgomery County resident
whos slowly buying prop-
erties in this area with the
money he earns from hauling
produce as a truck driver.
An apartment he owns on
Carlisle Street, about a half
mile away in Wilkes-Barre,
was shut down Friday for six
months under the citys new
one-strike ordinance target-
ing what ofcials consider
problem properties. He will
lose a stream of rental income
during that time.
The citys move, which
came after police said they
seized crack cocaine and
nearly $30,000 in cash in the
second-oor unit, angered
Peters who sees himself as
part of the solution to making
communities better by restor-
ing rundown and vacant
properties.
I feel Im getting the hard
end of the deal, Peters said
Saturday. He plans to chal-
lenge the shutdown to the
citys new Housing Board of
Appeals.
Rather than dwell on whats
been done, he turned his
attention to the whats being
done in the work-in-progress
rental.
Peters, 26, whos mar-
ried and lives with his wife
in Red Hill, said he got into
real estate to make money.
He decided to buy properties

Brominski: River Common is adisgrace
WILKES-BARRE Four years
after its unveiling, the $23 mil-
lion River Common park along the
Susquehanna River in downtown
Wilkes-Barre looks shabby and
neglected, with too many weeds
and a rarely used fountain, says
Luzerne County Councilman Edward
Brominski.
Its a disgrace, said Brominski,
who started publicly raising the issue
several months ago. The ower beds
are supposed to be tended to, and
theyre loaded with weeds. The foun-
tain is supposed to be there for kids
to enjoy.
Fairmount Township resident Mike
Giamber, who is running for a seat on
the 11-member council, has been post-
ing videos on YouTube, most recently
in July, showing weeds and high grass
around benches and walkways.
The weeds are killing all these
plantings, Giamber said. The prob-
lem is the county builds these new
projects but never builds in mainte-
nance for them.
County Operational Services
Division Head Chris Belleman said
he plans to step up maintenance but
stressed the park wasnt designed to
be aggressively manicured because
of the cost and need to keep some
growth to prevent erosion of the
earthen ood protection wall.
The River Common will never
look like a golf course or botanical
garden. Its going to be shaggier than
someones lawn, said Belleman.
The county must fund River
Common maintenance, even though
the park is tied to the Wyoming
Valley Levee, because its recreation-
al, said Belleman, who is transition-
ing to a different job overseeing the
levee as county Flood Protection
Authority executive director.
A fee on levee-protected proper-
ties can only be used for expenses
directly related to ood control, he
said.
The county is paying Exeter-based
Evergreen Landscaping Services
Inc. $29,710 this year to cut grass,
trim edges and remove weeds and
debris from planting beds and walk-
ways at the River Common and
certain segments of the levee in
Forty Fort, Kingston, Edwardsville,
Plymouth and Wyoming.
Evergreen, which was the lone bid-
der, has completed all work directed
by the county, Belleman said. He
spotted weeds during a family tness
weekend event at the River Common
at the end of August, he said, and
the company immediately addressed
them.
Theyre out there. They have been,
but I will take a more active role moni-
toring the work in the future. I think
we can do a better job, Belleman said.
Belleman has received other com-
plaints that the grass is too high,
he said, but he emphasized the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers recom-
mends the grass remain at 4 to 6
inches so it doesnt dry out and lose
its stabilizing hold.
Added mulch would help
Pat Kane, owner of Evergreen
Landscaping, said the weeds are a
direct result of the countys resistance
to invest in mulch since the parks
2009 overhaul.
Councilman says county has neglected $23 million project

BEAR CREEK Albert
Lewis mortal remains lie
beneath the shady earth of a
tiny family cemetery here, amid
the wooded hillsides that were
his home and his livelihood.
Nine hundred miles away, a
new memorial to Luzerne
Countys lumber and ice
baron, who died nearly 90
years ago, will soon rise
beside a Florida highway, next
to an unassuming gray horse
trough at the edge of a defunct
trailer park in St. Augustine.
By all accounts, a city his-
torical marker proclaiming
the Albert Lewis Trough
will serve as a tting tribute
to the entrepreneur and ani-
mal lover, whose many acts
of philanthropy and civic
development still echo around
St. Augustine, a 448-year-old
community that blossomed at
the turn of the 20th century
thanks to the arrival of well-
heeled Northern snowbirds
such as Lewis. That marker
will be dedicated on Saturday.
He was evidently a con-
noisseur of great horse esh,
said Sheila Greenleaf, a St.
Augustine native whose love
of local history and hours of
volunteer research tied the
worn old trough to Lewis, an
essential step before the city
would erect a marker at the
site.
So much of a connoisseur,
in fact, that Lewis headed
south by rail each winter with
his own horses and carriages
in tow.

HARRISBURG Jerry
Sanduskys challenge to his child
molestation conviction goes
before a state appeals court on
Tuesday in Wilkes-Barre, as
the former Penn State assistant
football coach seeks to overturn
a sentence that could keep him
behind bars for life.
Pennsylvanias Superior Court
will decide whether prosecutors
made an improper reference to
the fact that Sandusky did not
testify, whether jury instructions
were mishandled and whether
the defense should have been
given more time before trial to
digest a large volume of investi-
gative material.
The court is meeting in the
Luzerne County Courthouse,
part of efforts to make its pro-
ceedings accessible to a wider
public.
Sandusky, who spent decades
working under football coach Joe
Paterno, was convicted in July
2012 of 45 counts of sexual abuse
of 10 boys, including eight vic-
tims who testied against him.
Judge John Cleland subsequently
declared him a sexually violent
predator and sentenced him to
30 to 60 years in state prison.
Sandusky is seeking a new
trial. His appeals attorney,
Norris Gelman, said this week
that Sandusky, who is largely iso-
lated from the prison population,
will not be in the courtroom.
Gelman argued in an appellate
brief that Cleland should have
issued an instruction to jurors
that addressed the length of time
it took his victims to report their
abuse, which for four of them
was more than 11 years.
He noted that Cleland told
the lawyers he believed it was
not unusual for victims of child
abuse to delay reporting it.
The attorney generals ofce,
in its appeals brief, said it was
clear to jurors that the defense
was arguing that the abuse never
occurred, and arguing that the
victims were making up stories
in hopes of cashing in. Penn
State has since settled some
of their claims for undisclosed
sums.
The record demonstrates
that the victims had clear rea-
sons for not disclosing the
abuse by Sandusky: not only
were they ashamed of the acts
of abuse, the AGs ofce wrote,
but Sandusky gave them gifts,
including access to the PSU foot-
ball program, and was a promi-
nent gure who was more likely
to be believed than they were.
Gelman also focused on a
reference, by prosecutor Joe
McGettigan, to an NBC tele-
vision interview Sandusky
gave shortly after his arrest.
McGettigan told jurors that
Sandusky had wonderful oppor-
tunities to speak out and make
his case.
The prosecutor told jurors that
he only heard him on TV.
Gelman argued that was
among several references to
Sandusky not testifying. Failure
to take the stand in ones own
defense is not supposed to be
used against a defendant.
The attorney generals
ofce said McGettigans com-
ments were conned to the TV
interview and did not refer to
Sandusky not taking the stand
in his own defense. Prosecutors
argued the comments consti-
tuted fair response to defense
counsels argument relating to
the interview.
Sanduskys lawyers went into
trial blind as to much of the
material from prosecutors, esti-
mated to be about 9,000 pages,
Gelman said.
Sanduskys lawyers were
turned down in several requests
for a delay, and Cleland shep-
herded the case from arrest to
trial in just over seven months.
In a post-sentencing hearing,
defense attorney Joe Amendola
told Cleland that he had still not
come across any document that
would have altered his approach
at trial. But Gelman said more
time would have allowed
Amendola to better incorporate
the material into a defense strat-
egy.
Prosecutors said that the
defense had months to prepare
for trial once Sandusky was
charged, and that Sandusky and
Amendola knew in 2008 there
had been a report of sexual
assault.

PPL shuts down reactor to check turbine
JON OCONNELL
[email protected]
SALEM TWP. Operators
began shutdown procedures for
Susquehanna Nuclear Power
Plants Unit 2 turbines on Saturday
morning after monitoring systems
showed two of its turbine blades
might be cracked.
The monitoring system provider
recommended Unit 2s shutdown,
Chief Nuclear Ofcer Timothy S.
Rausch said in a press release.
After consultation with the
equipment manufacturer, we have
decided to take the most conserva-
tive action and shut down the unit
to investigate, he said.
Vibration sensors, which rst
warned there might be cracks, are
ne-tuned to alert on the slightest
change in normal vibrations or pres-
sure.
The blades have stopped spin-
ning, but PPL spokesman Joe
Scopelliti said they need to fully
investigate to determine if the two
blades have cracked.
Avibration change does not mean
there are, in fact, cracks, he said.
Rather than wait to have a blade
crack, we decided to shut the unit
down, Scopelliti said.
While Unit 2 is ofine, engineers
are to do unrelated maintenance.
Unit 2 is under scrutiny by the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
for one-too-many unplanned shut-
downs last year.
In November, it was shut down
manually for a control error.
It shut down again automatically
in December and then a third time
manually a few days later as engi-
neers were putting it back online.
The NRC allows only two
unscheduled shutdowns in a year to
stay in an all-clear status.
Ofcials said there is no imme-
diate danger. Unit 1 continues to
operate at full power.
PPL employees are watching its
monitoring systems closely for tur-
bine blade vibrations in the rst
power generator, which is about
two years older than its powered-
down counterpart.
The company had received no
word that power service had been
disrupted anywhere Saturday eve-
ning, Scopelliti said.
Rather than wait to have a
blade crack, we decided to
shut the unit down.

WEST PITTSTON An armed
man wearing blue jeans, a black base-
ball jersey and a ball cap reportedly
ashed a knife around 8 p.m. Friday
in the KNS Convenience Store, or
Food Mart, along Exeter Avenue. He
demanded cash and said to the clerk,
Give me your money or I will kill you,
according to a borough police report.
When the clerk opened the regis-
ter drawer, the thief helped himself to
between $400 and $500, police said.
Police describe the suspect as a
white male, about 6 feet tall of a
medium build. Anyone with infor-
mation is asked to contact the police
department by dialing 911.
WILKES-BARRE Kings
College issued a campus advisory by
email and text message around 4:45
a.m. Friday, saying a female student
was mugged and robbed of her mobile
phone around 2:30 a.m. near Turkey
Hill along Pennsylvania Boulevard.
The victim described four sus-
pects: a white female, a black female
anda black male with dreadlocks. She

WILKES-BARRE Police
arrested two men one of them on
drug charges at Coal Street Park
on Friday afternoon.
While police were on patrol at the
Sherman Hills housing project adja-
cent to the park at about 3:15 p.m.,
they saw a man walk into the park
and enter the rear seat of a silver
Hyundai occupied by three other
people, police said. The vehicle
pulled forward over the grass and
was stopped before it left the park.
The driver, Nathan Godfrey, of
Springville, was wanted on an arrest
warrant and taken into custody,
police said.
Police ofcers say they saw the
cap of a hypodermic needle on the
seat where Gregory Banning, of
Brackney, was sitting before he exit-
ed the vehicle, as well as a hypoder-
mic needle on the oor of the vehicle.
When ofcers removed the hat
of another passenger, Alexander
ODonnell, of Tener Street, Luzerne,
after he exited the vehicle, they alleg-
edly found two clear plastic bags of
suspected crack cocaine. They also
found 10 plastic bags stamped I
heart u and a glass pipe packed with
Brillo in his sock, police said.
Godfrey was transported to
Luzerne County Correctional
Facility and held on a warrant from
Susquehanna County. ODonnell

delivery or possession with intent to
deliver a controlled substance, pos-
session of a controlled substance and
possess of drug paraphernalia. Both

morning after an ofcer attempted
to pull him over for driving errati-
cally, police said.
Driving a silver Toyota Corolla

POLICE BLOTTER
LUZERNE Fall was in
the air as the sweet aroma
of kettle corn wafted down
Main Street during the 18th
annual Fall Pumpkin Festival
Saturday.
From hot apple cider to
onion-topped rib-eye sand-
wiches, there was seemingly
something to satisfy every
appetite.
Nestled in a wafe cone
with a dollop of whipped
cream, the spiced pumpkin
rice pudding was a favorite
at Zinas Homemade Fudge
stand. I think if it was ten
degrees warmer, it would be
more crowded, but Im happy
to be here, said Bernie Sult,
owner of Zinas.
Many downtown merchants
offered specials and discounts
to attract customers during
the event; Fat Daddys Bar
sold chili dogs for $1.50 and
pizza slices for $1.25. Last
year, we got a lot of new
people that came in, said
bartender Danielle Krivenko.
I didnt think it was going to
be busy, but it was steady all
day.
Four-year-old Mariyah Sky
Bonilla, of Wilkes-Barre, was
all smiles as she neared the
pony rides. If theres a long
line, I dont care. Ill wait, she
said as she clutched the hand
of her aunt, Keri Pavlick of
Luzerne.
Joined by her 10-year-
old cousin, Gia Rossick of
Wilkes-Barre, Mariyah said
she couldnt wait to also go
for a ride on the horse-drawn
buggy.
Sponsored by the
Merchants Association, the
event was seen as a boon for
borough businesses.
The whole idea is to bring
trafc downtown, and it gets
new people in the stores, said
Jim Lane of The Main Bean
and association president.
Pointing out the many new
stores that opened along Main
Street within the last few
months, Lane also said there
are a number of longtime
businesses, such as Marc Co.
Jewelers, which donated 200
pumpkins for the festival. The
Merchants Association provid-
ed paint and embellishments
for the children to decorate the
pumpkins.
Larry Perry and his wife
Nicole held a grand opening of
their store, Down on Main,
a business that showcases mer-
chandise from area artisans.
This is the greatest time of
the year to be here, he said.
Everyone benets.
Enjoying the view from
a seat in front of The Main
Bean, Mayor Jim Keller said
he was happy with the large
turnout. Its a family event,
really, he said as a group
of middle-school-aged kids
enjoyed ice cream at a nearby
table. Luzerne is a family-ori-
ented town; thats what makes
this work.
THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com Sunday, September 15, 2013 PAGE 3A
Airplane enthusiasts of all ages
gathered Saturday afternoon to enjoy
the third annual Airport Day at Valley
Aviation in Forty Fort.
The event included plane rides and
close-up views of a variety of passenger
and military ghter aircraft.
Sponsored by the nonprot group
Fallen Ofcers Remembered, the event
raised funds used to purchase bullet-
proof vests for law enforcement person-
nel around the Wyoming Valley.
Gina Boyle and her sister Jaclyn
Mosley started the Fallen Ofcers orga-
nization after their brother Rodney
Pocceschi was killed in the line of duty
in June 2003 while working on the
Virginia Beach police department.
Both sisters felt compelled to do
something to honor their brother and
help other ofcers and families from
suffering a similar fate, Boyle said. They
have given more than 200 vests to local
law enforcement personnel since 2006.
The Airport Day event has grown
signicantly over the last three years,
Boyle said. She expected more than
1,000 people to attend Saturdays event
as more activities have been added.
What started as a few vendors has
blossomed into a mini-air show, she
said.
Besides the array of ying machines
available for inspection, event-goers
could participate in rafes for baskets
from, among others, the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins, Avon and Marcs
Tattooing. Childrens activities, live
music and an open barbecue were also
available.
Boyle admitted preparing the event
can be exhausting, but she was thank-
ful for the help she received. More than
20 US Airways co-workers, she called
the Do Crew, helped set up the event
and provide customer service; other
volunteers included friends and family
members involved in Fallen Ofcers.
Also, she thanked the people from
Valley Aviation who had volunteered
their time and the use of the facility for
the last three years.
It is all worthwhile when we hand an
ofcer one of these vests, she said.
Some smaller municipalities cant
afford to provide enough vests for their
ofcers, especially the ones that work
part time, Boyle said. Even part-time
ofcers face the danger of being shot,
she pointed out.
Scott Davis, a sergeant for the
Jackson Township police department,
said area police departments appre-
ciate the efforts of Fallen Ofcers.
Bulletproof vests are vital for ofcers
in the eld, Davis said. They keep
them safe.
He added a professionally engi-
neered bulletproof vest used by police
departments can cost more than
$1,000 each, making it difcult for
some departments to afford them.

Pharmacy to open in
the former Old River
Road Bakery building
on Oct. 7
WILKES-BARRE Harrolds
Pharmacy and its 66-year legacy will
go on at a soon-to-be-completed new
location, where the walls are bright
green, the space is cavernous and the
expected services are numerous.
Bruce Lefkowitz, the 49-year-old,
third-generation owner of the South
Wilkes-Barre business, said the new
facility will open Oct. 7 on the site
formerly occupied by the Old River
Road Bakery.
We feel locating here will help the
neighborhood, Lefkowitz said. We
hope to be part of a revitalization of
South Wilkes-Barre.
Before Lefkowitz purchased the
building, controversy surrounded the
property. Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leighton initially intended to sell
the building, which had been vacant
for 13 years, for $38,000 to Leo A.
Glodzik, owner of LAG Towing.
Glodzik held the citys towing con-
tract until earlier this year. The deal
to sell the former bakery to Glodzik
was terminated following citizen
complaints and a lawsuit.
Lefkowitz said an employee lounge
area at the front of the store will
serve coffee and tea, but customers
looking for baked goods will have to
buy them elsewhere.
Were excited, Lefkowitz said
last week as he gave a tour of the
24,000-square-foot building. And
our employees cant wait. Weve been
pretty cramped at our current loca-
tion.
However, moving down the street
to the corner of Old River Road and
Beekman Street will be bittersweet,
said Lefkowitz, as Harrolds will
abandon its original site.
I can remember going to the phar-
macy as a 4-year-old with my grandfa-
ther, Lefkowitz said. But the fact is
we reached a point where we couldnt
grow any more in our current loca-
tion.
The pharmacy will employ 40 peo-
ple. Harrolds is all about customer
service, said Lefkowitz. Thats our
top priority. And we have the best
team of dedicated employees who
have always had our customers best
interests at heart.
Lefkowitz paid $50,000 for the
building and 1.14 acres and has
invested between $3 million and $4
million to convert the former bakery
into a state-of-the-art pharmacy, he
said.
When we rst discussed moving
to a new location, we did consider
Edwardsville, Kingston and the Back
Mountain area, he said. But we felt
it was important to stay in Wilkes-
Barre where we have operated for 66
years.
In the Harrolds Pharmacy news-
letter appropriately named The
Tablet Lefkowitz thanks his fam-
ily and customers for their unwaver-
ing loyalty, support and patience.
Lefkowitz said the pharmacy will
be closed on Oct. 5 to allow for the
two-day move-in to the new location.

LYONS, Colo. The rescue
of Coloradoans stranded by
epic mountain ooding accel-
erated Saturday as debris-lled
rivers became muddy seas
that extended into towns and
farms miles from the Rockies.
Authorities expected to nd
more fatalities when full scope
of destruction emerged.
Helicopters and hundreds of
National Guardtroops searched
the mountainous terrain for
people as food and water sup-
plies ran lowin remote commu-
nities cut off since Thursday.
Thousands were being driven
to safety in convoys.
A woman was missing and
presumed dead after witness-
es saw oodwaters from the
Big Thompson River destroy
her home in the Cedar Cove
area, Larimer County sheriffs
spokesman John Schulz said.
Were sure there are going to
be additional homes that have
been destroyed, but we wont
know that for a while, Schulz
said. I expect that were going
to continue to receive reports
of conrmed missing and con-
rmed fatalities throughout the
next several days.
Four people have been con-
rmed dead since the harrow-
ing oods began Wednesday.
The high water has affected
an area nearly the size of
Connecticut.
National Guard helicopters
ewin and out of the mountain
hamlet of Jamestown late into
Friday night after it became
isolated by rushing water that
scoured the canyon the village
sits in. Rescuers on the ground
focused on the town of Lyons.
By Saturday morning, the
Guard had evacuated nearly
800 people by air and ground.
More than a dozen helicop-
ters were available to aid with
rescue efforts.
We have the ability to go
whenever, wherever, Master
Sgt. Cheresa Theiral said.
Still more rain was expected
Saturday. And the outlook for
anyone who preferred to stay
behind was bleak: weeks with-
out power, cellphone service or
running water.
Essentially, what they were
threatening us with is, If you
stay here, you may be here
for a month, said 79-year-
old Dean Hollenbaugh, who
was evacuated by helicopter
from Jamestown, northwest of
Boulder.
For those awaiting an air-
lift, Guardsmen dropped food,
water and other supplies to
residents of the winding, nar-
row canyons.
Although the number of con-
rmed deaths stood at four,
authorities feared more bod-
ies could turn up in areas that
remain inaccessible.
SEASIDE PARK, N.J.
Flare-ups may slow
boardwalk probe
Continuing hot spots could hamper
investigators trying to gure out the
cause of a re that charred four blocks
of bars, pizza shops and T-shirt stands
perhaps 50 businesses in all on a
Jersey shore boardwalk that still was try-
ing to recover from Superstorm Sandy.
The initial problem is spots where
ames could keep aring up among the
rubble from the blaze that shot reballs
50 feet into the sky Thursday night
before crews got it contained.
In a news brieng Friday, Gov. Chris
Christie said it would be irresponsible
for any of us to speculate what sparked
the re that is believed to have started in
or near a frozen custard stand.
He said the reghters working on
spraying down any are-ups are also
doing their best to preserve evidence for
the re investigation team thats trying
to piece together just what happened.

Hurricane Ingrid

On Saturday afternoon, the storm was
packing maximumsustained winds of 75
mph. The storm was centered about 195
miles east of Tuxpan Mexico.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center
in Miami said that if the storm stays on
the forecast track, its likely to reach the
coast of Mexico on Monday. Authorities
have ordered evacuations of coastal resi-
dents.
MAIDUGURI, NIGERIA
Policeman killed
in retaliation
Angry youths in a vigilante group
mobbed and killed a policeman and
threatened others Saturday in retaliation
for the killing of one of their members
in northeast Nigeria, police and military
ofcials said, causing further friction in
an area tense with violence from Islamic
militants.
The Civilian Joint Task Force was
formed by residents to help capture
Boko Haram suspects in and around
Maiduguri, where the Islamic insurgents
formed years ago.
The spokesman of the 7th division of
the Nigeria army, Lt Col. Sagir Musa,
said he took the attacked policeman,
who was drenched in blood, to the police
headquarters.
It was not immediately clear if the
attacked policeman was the same ofcer
who had shot dead the vigilante.
ALBANY, N.Y.
Pet cemeteries OKd
to accept humans
New regulations will allow New York
animal lovers to spend eternity with their
pets.
The Daily News reports that ofcials
have nalized rules allowing pet cem-
eteries to accept the cremated remains of
humans.
The cemeteries can bury pet owners
ashes as long as they dont charge a fee
for it and dont advertise human burial
services.
New Yorks Division of Cemeteries put
a halt to human burials at pet cemeteries
in 2011 after a story about the practice.
It later relaxed the ban on a limited basis
and began working on permanent rules.
Ed Martin, owner of the 117-year-old
Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in Westchester
County, says he gets ve or six requests
a year from humans who want to have
their ashes buried with their pets.

Series of
attacks kill
25 in Iraq
BAGHDADAsuicide bomb-
er attacked a funeral Saturday in
northern Iraq attended by mem-
bers of an ethnic minority, part
of a series of assaults that killed
at least 25 across the country,
ofcials said.
Iraq is weathering its deadli-
est bout of violence in half a
decade, raising fears the country
is returning to a period of wide-
spread killing such as that which
pushed it to the brink of civil
war following the 2003 U.S.-led
invasion. More than 4,000 peo-
ple have been killed in violent
attacks since the start of April,
including 804 just in August,
according to United Nations g-
ures.
In the suicide attack, the
bomber detonated his explo-
sive belt inside a tent during
the afternoon ceremony held by
members of the Shabak minority
near the city of Mosul, 225 miles
northwest of Baghdad.
Authorities said the blast in
the village of Arto Kharab killed
at least 20 people and wounded
35. The funeral was for a mem-
ber of the Shabak minority who
had died of natural causes, of-
cials said.
The Shabaks are ethnic
Turkomen and Shiite Muslims.
Most of them live in villages east
of Mosul, the provincial capital
of the ethnically mixed Ninevah
province that is predominantly
Sunni Muslim.
There was no immediate claim
for the funeral attack, but Mosul
has been a hub for al-Qaida in
Iraq in past years. Militants have
used violence and intimidation
to drive hundreds of members of
minority groups out of the city.
Al-Qaidas local branch, known
as the Islamic State of Iraq and
the Levant, has claimed responsi-
bility for a number of large-scale
bombings in recent months and
is believed to be behind other
coordinated attacks.
The months-long surge of
bloodshed is taking place against
the backdrop of rising tensions
between Iraqs Sunni and Shiite
Muslims. The tensions are being
inamed in part by the sectarian
divisions reected in the civil
war in neighboring Syria.
In other violence Saturday,
police said a roadside bomb hit
a car in Dujail town, just north
of the capital, killing the driver
and his wife. Police also said an
11-year-old boy was killed when
a bomb struck a minibus near
Suleiman Beg town, about 95
miles northeast of Baghdad.

President uses anniversary
of Lehman Brothers
collapse to claim success,
warn Republicans
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama is marking the fth anniversary
of the Lehman Brothers collapse by try-
ing to lay claim to an economic turn-
around and warning Republicans against
moves that he contends would risk a
backslide.
His message to the GOP: Dont
oppose raising the nations debt limit,
dont threaten to close down the govern-
ment in a budget ght and dont push to
delay the health care law or starve it of
federal money.
The economic emphasis, after weeks
devoted to the Syrian crisis, begins com-
ing into focus in a series of events expect-
ed to be kicked off by a Rose Garden
speech Monday. Its a determined effort
to confront public skepticism about his
stewardship of the economy and to put
down his marker for budget clashes with
Congress in the weeks ahead.
The White House argues that a better
capitalized and better regulated nancial
sector is extending more credit, fuel-
ing an economy now able to withstand
headwinds such as spending cuts and tax
increases.
You can draw this straight line from
the health of the nancial system to the
ways the nancial system impacts the
economy, said Jason Furman, the chair-
man of Obamas Council of Economic
Advisers.
Obama can point to a growing econo-
my, rising housing prices, 35 consecutive
months of hiring, a rebounding stock
market and other signs of recovery.
Five years after the federal govern-
ment stepped in and infused banks with
$245 billion in taxpayer money to avert a
nancial meltdown, the government has
been paid back nearly in full.
Today is the fth anniversary of
Lehmans bankruptcy, which was the
largest in U.S. history. The rms demise
marked the beginning of the global nan-
cial crisis and was a major catalyst of the
nancial meltdown.
Weve put more people back to work,
but weve also cleared away the rubble of
crisis and laid the foundation for stron-
ger and more durable economic growth,
Obama said during his recent trip to
Russia.
And as Congress takes up important
decisions in the coming months, Im
going to keep making the case for the
smart investments and scal responsi-
bility that keep our economy growing,
creates jobs and keeps the U.S. competi-
tive. That includes making sure we dont
risk a U.S. default over paying bills weve
already racked up.
Obama intends to highlight that prog-
ress to economists and other guests at
the White House on Monday, and his
National Economic Council is set to
release a report detailing the economic
advances.
Obama planned to discuss the econo-
my as part of an interview airing today
on ABCs This Week and scheduled
a speech Wednesday to the Business
Roundtable, an association of CEOs
from the biggest U.S. companies.
But the public is not convinced that
the economy is on the mend. Only one-
third say the economic system is more
secure now than in 2008, and 52 per-
cent say they disapprove of Obamas
handling of the economy, according to a
Pew Research Center poll. There is still
plenty of pain to justify their pessimism.

Bus crash injures 35 in southwest Ohio
CINCINNATI A
Greyhound bus drove off an
interstate highway in south-
west Ohio early Saturday,
struck a tree and a fence and
ipped on its side before slid-
ing to a stop in a corneld,
injuring at least 35 people.
None of the injuries was
considered life-threatening,
though several people were
trapped and had to be extri-
cated by reghters and para-
medics, the State Highway
Patrol said in a statement.
There was no immedi-
ate word on the cause
of the crash, but passen-
ger Christopher Lake, of
Michigan, told WCPO-TV
in Cincinnati that he saw
the driver slumped over.
Lake said he heard a woman
scream at the driver Wake
up! Wake up! but that he
thinks the man might have
had a medical problem.
The bus drove off the right
side of northbound Interstate
75 about 25 miles north of
Cincinnati at about 3:50
a.m., the patrol said. Lake
told the TV station the bus
rolled over twice after hitting
the tree.
Authorities said that the
crash remained under inves-
tigation.
Jeff Galloway, direc-
tor of the Butler County
Emergency Management
Agency, said 35 people were
taken to hospitals, six by
helicopters and 29 by ambu-
lance. The injuries ranged
from minor to severe, of-
cials said.
The bus, which left
Cincinnati bound for Detroit,
was carrying 51 passengers
and the driver. Those pas-
sengers who were not injured
and those who were treated
and released from hospitals
were transported back to
Cincinnati, but none of them
were at the bus station later
Saturday morning.
Lake, who was not injured,
told WCPOhe sawsome chil-
dren on the bus and thought
some passengers had broken
arms and legs
He said that the bus driver
seemed ne when he board-
ed the bus.

LAKE MARY, Fla.
Whether they think that
he got away with murder-
ing 17-year-old Trayvon
Martin or that he was just a
brave neighborhood watch
volunteer standing his
ground, many Americans
cant seem to get enough
of George Zimmerman.
And he cant seem to stop
giving it to them.
So its hardly sur-
prising that everything
Zimmerman does pro-
duces a Twitterverse
explosion and spins out
into heavy news cover-
age. Comedian Deon Cole
nailed it during an appear-
ance on Late Night with
Conan OBrien a couple
of days after the July 13
verdict. Merely being
found not guilty, he said
of Zimmerman, doesnt
mean that youre a free
man.
He certainly hasnt been
free from the spotlight.
Two stops for speed-
ing.
A cellphone photo
of a smiling Zimmerman
touring the Florida factory
where the 9 mm semi-auto-
matic pistol used in the
February 2012 shooting
was made.
And, last week, police
dash-cam footage of
Zimmerman kneeling in
the street to be cuffed after
an alleged scufe with his
estranged wife and father-
in-law.
Like gangster Al Capone
going to Alcatraz for tax
evasion and O.J. Simpson
serving time for robbing
some sports memorabilia
dealers, some interpret
this series of unfortunate
events as part of some
cosmic comeuppance for a
wannabe cop.
But is he a kind of
George Ziggy-man, per-
petually stalked by storm
clouds, or more like one of
those California wildres,
creating his own weather
patterns?
Seems like a little bit of
both, according to crisis
management expert Mark
McClennan.
How does he keep
resetting his 15 minutes
of fame? said the Boston-
area consultant, whos
on the Public Relations
Society of Americas board
of directors. Id say its a
two-way street.
Granted, Zimmerman
didnt expect his visit to
the Kel-Tec CNCIndustries
factory in Cocoa, Fla.,
to be a public event.
Zimmerman has turned
down all Associated Press
interview requests since
his trial, and his lawyers
didnt respond to mes-
sages about this story. But
Shawn Vincent, a spokes-
man for the law rm that
defended Zimmerman,
told Yahoo News of the fac-
tory visit: That was not
part of our public relations
plan.
But McClennan wasnt
surprised when TMZ
published a photo of
Zimmerman shaking hands
with a Kel-Tec employee
and Zimmerman shouldnt
have been, either.
Instead of being a
24-hour news cycle, its
now a 24-second news
cycle for anything to spring
up, said McClennan, a
senior vice president at
Schwartz MSL. You need
to be careful of what youre
doing. And if theres
anything you do that is
newsworthy or interest-
ing, people are going to
write about it, talk about
it, share about it, tweet
it, put it on YouTube
because its going to drive
clicks, drive interest, and
its going to spread virally.
Its not just his public out-
ings and repeated brushes
with the legal system that
have kept Zimmerman in
the spotlight. Martins par-
ents were prominent par-
ticipants in last months
50th anniversary com-
memoration of the March
on Washington, and sever-
al civil rights leaders have
called for the repeal of
stand-your-ground laws,
which generally remove a
persons duty to retreat if
possible in the face of dan-
ger.
Even when he helped
extricate a family from an
overturned SUV in July,
Zimmerman couldnt catch
a break.
The grateful couple can-
celed a news conference,
defense attorney Mark
OMara said, for the pos-
sibility of blowback against
them. People immediately
suggested the incident was
staged or at least poked
fun at the timing.
Lets get this straight,
Nigel Stevens wrote on the
site www.opposingviews.
com. Zimmerman, in his
only documented ven-
ture into the real world,
heroically transforms into
Volunteer Paramedic and
rescues someone from
deadly circumstances.
Is this really happening?
Aaron Sorkin and Steven
Spielberg couldnt have
collaborated to come up
with that ending.
Stevens after dubbing
Zimmerman the most vili-
ed man in America
went on to suggest the next
acts on the watchmans
Karmic Redemption
Tour: Providing emergen-
cy childbirth assistance to
Duchess of Cambridge
Kate Middleton, balancing
Detroits budget and cap-
turing NSA leaker Edward
Snowden.
Zimmerman certain-
ly has his supporters.
Several groups launched
petition drives urging the
Department of Justice
not to pursue federal civil
rights charges against
him.
The jury has spoken
and found that the pros-
ecution failed to prove,
beyonda reasonable doubt,
that George Zimmerman
had malice or racism in
his heart or even a reck-
less disregard for Trayvon
Martins life when he shot
the teenager, declared a
petition on dickmorris.
rallycongress.com. The
Justice Department should
now butt out.
But the trial seems to
have set in motion some
forces that are beyond
Zimmermans control.
In late August, Shellie
Zimmerman pleaded guilty
to a misdemeanor perjury
charge for lying during a
bail hearing after her hus-
bands arrest. Last week,
she led for divorce, and
felt compelled to tell the
world about it. On ABCs
Good Morning America,
she called her husband
selsh and accused him
of leaving her with a
bunch of pieces of broken
glass after the acquittal.
Zimmerman blames the
trial for the implosion of
his marriage, lawyers have
said.
After acquittal, Zimmerman still in hot seat
The one-time

fascination, scorn

ATLANTA One col-
lege football tradition in
Georgia will soon disap-
pear: Letting politicians
into the stadium for free.
A new law taking effect
next year bans lobbyists
from giving Georgias poli-
ticians free college foot-
ball tickets, a rite as well-
established as game-day
beer and barbecue in the
football-obsessed South.
As the season kicks off, lob-
byists and lawmakers are
squeezing in a few more
free games before the pro-
hibition takes effect Jan. 1.
Disclosure reports show
that lobbyists have given
Georgia politicians nearly
$1,400 in college football
tickets and related enter-
tainment since the start of
the season in late August.
Thats only the beginning.
Last year, registered lob-
byists shelled out more
than $14,000 in tickets
and perks at college foot-
ball games, according to an
Associated Press review of
the spending reports that
lobbyists must le.
Many lawmakers get
tickets in Georgia because
the Legislature controls the
$6.4 billion higher educa-
tion budget, including the
roughly $1.9 billion that
comes directly from state
coffers. A free ticket proba-
bly wont swing a vote, said
William Perry, executive
director of Common Cause
Georgia. However, he
described the tickets as just
one part of the unchecked
lobbyist spending that dis-
torted Georgia politics.
What happens is that it
creates a culture, a luxury
of lifestyle for our elected
ofcials, Perry said.
Just having access to
tickets can be a nice perk.
Spending on football tick-
ets accounted for just over
1 percent of the $1.3 mil-
lion that lobbyists spent in
2012. That underestimates
the value of the tickets
considering most games
played by the University
of Georgia are sold out.
Average fans cannot get
inside a stadium unless
they pay markups or have
season tickets, which
require mandatory dona-
tions and sitting on a wait-
ing list.
Get elected to ofce, and
you can go for free. UGA
spent about $9,500 on tick-
ets for public ofcials last
year. This year, its invited
state lawmakers to an Oct.
12 game against Missouri.
Tickets for that game
were selling Friday from a
low of $74.99 to a high of
$1,127.50 on StubHub, an
online ticket market.
The current law is in
effect for this football sea-
son. And well abide by
it, UGA spokesman Tom
Jackson said. And the new
law isnt going to affect us
until next football season.
And well abide by the new
law.
The practice isnt limited
toGeorgia. Statelawmakers
can buy tickets at face value
to see top-ranked Alabama
play, while fans would need
to make annual donations
for a similar opportunity.
Ethics ofcials scolded the
University of Wisconsin in
2005 for allowing 11 state
lawmakers to buy tickets to
sold-out football games.
The university should
know better and shouldnt
put elected ofcials at risk,
Ethics Board Director Roth
Judd said at the time. Its
not good policy for the
university to try to curry
favor by providing perks to
elected ofcials it doesnt
make available to ordinary
citizens.
In Georgia, even lower-
ranked football programs
get in on the act. Georgia
State University spent
$950 on Aug. 30 to host
16 lawmakers and staff-
ers at its home opener,
records show. The guests
included Senate President
Pro Tempore David Shafer,
who noted that he pays for
his own tickets to UGA
football games.
I attended the season
opener, Shafer said. The
face value of my ticket was
$12.
Georgia Tech gave Sen.
Don Balfour, R-Snellville,
a $50 ticket to an Aug. 31
game, according to spend-
ing reports.
Old habits die hard.
Finally pressured this year
into passing a bill that
restricted lobbyist spend-
ing, Georgia lawmakers ini-
tially included a loophole
that would have allowed
colleges and universities to
hand out free sports tick-
ets. One critic called it the
championship provision,
and that provision did not
become law.
There are unresolved
questions. Shafer,
R-Duluth, said he wants
advice fromStatehouse law-
yers on whether employees
of Georgias higher educa-
tion system are legally con-
sidered lobbyists.

RAY HENRY
Associated Press
HARRISBURG A
judge rejected a bid by
farm industry groups to
block federal and state pol-
lution limits designed to
improve the health of the
Chesapeake Bay by more
tightly regulating wastewa-
ter treatment, construction
along waterways and agri-
cultural runoff.
U.S. District Court Judge
Sylvia Rambo in Harrisburg
ruled that the U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency was within its
authority to work with six
states and Washington,
D.C., to set and enforce
standards to reduce nitro-
gen, phosphorus and sedi-
ment that drain from rivers
into the bay and harm the
ecology of the nations larg-
est estuary.
In her 99-page decision
Friday, Rambo rejected
arguments that the EPA
overstepped its bounds
under the federal Clean
Water Act, created an
unfair process and used
standards that were awed
or unlawfully complicated.
The EPA and the group
of Chesapeake Bay states
undertook signicant
efforts to preserve the
framework of cooperative
federalism, as envisioned
by the (Clean Water Act),
Rambo wrote. The act is
an all-compassing and
comprehensive statute
that envisions a strong fed-
eral role for ensuring pollu-
tion reduction.
The American Farm
Bureau, which originally
led the suit in 2011, was
still reviewing the deci-
sion Saturday and did not
immediately say whether it
would appeal.
We are disappointed
for all farmers of all sizes,
whether they grow food for
local restaurants and mar-
kets or for national stores,
spokeswoman Tracy Taylor
Grondine said.
The EPAcalled the ruling
a victory for the 17 million
people in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed while
other groups that support-
ed the regulations, includ-
ing the National Wildlife
Federation and Chesapeake
Bay Foundation, applauded
Rambos decision.
This is a great day for
clean water in the region,
there could be no better
outcome, Chesapeake
Bay Foundation President
William Baker said in a
statement.
Groups that had joined
the farm bureaus effort
included the Fertilizer
Institute, the National
Pork Producers Council,
the National Corn
Growers Association,
the National Chicken
Council, the U.S. Poultry
and Egg Association
and the National Turkey
Federation.
Farm runoff such as
animal waste and fertil-
izer that get into streams
and rivers from watering
or rainfall is the single
largest source of pollut-
ants in the Chesapeake
Bay, according to the
EPA. Agriculture groups
had become alarmed at
the plan, saying it unfairly
singled out farmers and
the cost to protect water-
ways from runoff could
devastate farmers. The
National Association of
Home Builders also had
challenged the Chesapeake
Bay plan.
To date, more than
47,000 water pollution-
reduction plans have been
completed throughout the
United States, and the
Chesapeake Bay plan is the
largest and most complex
so far, Rambo said.

CHARLESTON, W.Va.
For decades, coal from
West Virginias vast depos-
its was mined, loaded on
rail cars and hauled off
without leaving behind a
lasting trust fund nanced
by the states best-known
commodity. Big coals days
are waning, but now a new
bonanza in the natural gas
elds has state leaders
working to ensure history
doesnt repeat itself.
West Virginias Senate
president, Jeff Kessler, is
pushing to create an oil
and natural gas trust fund
to support core govern-
ment functions decades
from now. His goal: a cush-
ion of funds long after the
gas is depleted to buoy an
Appalachian mountain
state chronically vexed by
poverty, high joblessness,
and cycles of boom and
bust.
The Democratic Senate
leader said the previous
generation missed out on
creating a permanent fund
based on coal severance
tax revenues. Current resi-
dents, he said, should be
prudent and set aside a
part of the revenue fromthe
extraction of natural gas to
benet future generations.
Had we had the good
sense to put a few cents
aside of every ton of coal
that has come out of
our ground, wed probably
be the richest state in the
Union instead of in many
respects the poorest,
Kessler said.
Indeed, supporters say
the future health and wel-
fare of the state is, to some
extent, at stake. West
Virginia consistently has
ranked among the states
with the lowest life expec-
tancy while grappling with
problems of obesity, educa-
tion and drug abuse.
This is really about
protecting the long-term
scal health of the state,
said Ted Boettner, execu-
tive director of the West
Virginia Center on Budget
and Policy. Without a plan
for the future, were likely
to continue to experience a
lack of economic diversity,
cycles of boom and bust
and poor economic out-
comes.
Kesslers isnt a new
concept. Other states with
abundant natural resources
have set up legacy funds
as Alaska voters did in
1976 with a constitutional
amendment creating the
Alaska Permanent Fund to
protect a portion of that
states oil wealth for future
generations. That vote
came amid construction of
the trans-Alaska pipeline
and the fund is now worth
billions.
Kessler is still crafting
his Future Fund proposal
for the 2014 legislative ses-
sion that opens in January.
He said hes leaning toward
presenting it as a proposed
constitutional amendment.
His call for a trust fund
would go on next years bal-
lot for voters to decide if it
clears the Legislature.
His proposed endow-
ment would be built with
a portion of oil and natu-
ral gas severance tax col-
lections. Severance taxes,
including those on coal and
other natural resources, are
a big part of the state bud-
get. They contributed an
estimated $462 million, or
11 percent, to total general
tax revenues in the scal
year that ended in June.
The trust could not be
tapped for a specied num-
ber of years and would be
limited to supporting a few
needs including education,
economic development or
tax relief once it became
accessible.
Kessler said constitution-
al protections would lock
down the fund from law-
makers and interest groups
tempted to pry it open pre-
maturely to spend money
elsewhere. I dont want
it to be willy nilly, people
using it for pet projects,
he said.
He notes that places such
as Alaska are already ben-
eting handsomely from
their funds.
Supported by about 30
percent of all mineral royal-
ties the state receives, the
Alaska Permanent Fund is
invested in a broad port-
folio and recently had an
unaudited market value of
$46.6 billion. Dividends,
coming from investment
prots, are paid each year
to most Alaskans. Last year,
the payment amounted to
$878 per person. Principal
cant be spent.
Then there is North
Dakota. Kessler recently
led a group of West Virginia
lawmakers there to study
states legacy fund.
In 2010, North Dakota
voters approved their
Legacy Fund, which has
been rising faster than
predicted with booming
oil production. Oil and gas
revenue that began gushing
in only since September
2011 had topped $1.3 bil-
lion as of last month. The
fund gets 30 percent of
the states oil and gas tax
collections. None of the
money can be spent until
2017, and only then if the
Legislature decides by a
two-thirds vote to dip into
it.
Natural gas produc-
tion in the big Marcellus
Shale formation underly-
ing parts of West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and other
nearby states has been ris-
ing even faster than energy
experts had predicted. That
production in West Virginia
alone nearly doubled in the
last ve years and could
nearly double again in com-
ing years, they say.
Tapping it can require an
unconventional horizontal
drilling method as well as
hydraulic fracturing. Also
known as fracking, that pro-
cess relies on water drawn
from area sources thats
mixed with chemicals and
sand and then pumped into
wells to crack the rock.
As a result of the pro-
duction boom, natural gas
severance tax collections in
West Virginia are expected
to surge.
But despite the welcome
news, some are taking a
wait-and-see approach.
Corky DeMarco, execu-
tive director of the West
Virginia Oil and Natural
Gas Association, said the
proposal to divert money
into a fund thats untouch-
able for years comes at a
time of a shrinking state
budget.
W.Va. sees natural gas trust
fund as key to better future
Coal fortune slipped away,
so state leaders consider
ways to do long-term good
with next energy boom

GET YOUR ROOF ON BEFORE WINTER
BEFORE SHINGLE PRICES INCREASE
HARRISBURG Gov.
Tom Corbett will start a
three-day tour Monday to
lay out his plans to improve
health care and reveal the
conditions under which he
would accept additional
Medicaid dollars under the
sweeping federal health care
law designed to provide
insurance to more working
poor.
A key condition for
Corbett will be an idea being
explored by some other
states using the Medicaid
dollars to buy private insur-
ance policies instead of
expanding government rolls
where Republicans are
wary of expanding tradition-
al Medicaid coverage.
The announcement
arrives after months of
Corbett aides pressing the
U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services to
accept the governors terms
to join the Medicaid expan-
sion, a major element of
President Barack Obamas
signature 2010 law.
Corbett, a Republican
who sued unsuccessfully to
overturn the federal law, is
a critic of Medicaid, saying
it is bloated and costly, and
his aides insist that the forth-
coming proposal will not
amount to an expansion of
Medicaids enrollment.
Gov. Corbett does not
support growing an entitle-
ment programas he has been
very clear about the need for
reform, spokeswoman Lynn
Lawson said Friday. Lawson
did not give details about the
forthcoming plan or reveal
where Corbett will stop on
the tour.
Corbett to
lay out
position
on Medicaid
MARC LEVY
Associated Press
From page 1A
Markets
led states to turn their
backs on the biggest
expansion of the social
safety net in a half cen-
tury. If youre uninsured
in a state thats opposed,
you might not get much
help picking the right pri-
vate health plan for your
budget and your familys
needs.
The differences will be
more glaring if youre poor
and your state rejected the
laws Medicaid expansion.
Unless leaders reverse
course, odds are youll
remain uninsured. Thats
because people below the
poverty line do not qualify
for subsidies to buy cover-
age in the markets.
We are going to have
a new environment where
consumers may be victims
of geography, said Sam
Karp of the California
HealthCare Foundation,
a nonprot helping states
tackle practical problems
of implementation. If
Im a low-wage earner in
California, I may qualify
for Medicaid. With the
exact same income in
Texas, I may not qualify.
The health care law is
nally leaving the draw-
ing boards to become a
real program with citizens
participating. But in many
parts of the country the
decisions of Republicans
opposed to the law
will trump the plans of
Democrats who wrote it.
Still, there is a new bot-
tom line. Health insurance
marketplaces in every
state will provide options
for millions of people who
dont have job-based cov-
erage, who cant afford
their own plan or have a
health problem that would
get them turned down.
The feds will run the mar-
kets in states that refused
to do so.
The coverage wont be
free, even after sliding-
scale subsidies keyed to
your income.
Thats signicant
because starting next
year most Americans will
also have a legal obliga-
tion to get covered or face
nes. Some people who
now purchase bare-bones
individual plans will com-
plain the new ones cost
too much. Others, in good
health, might resent the
government telling them
to purchase insurance they
dont think they need.
Nonetheless, the num-
ber of uninsured people
is expected to drop mark-
edly, bringing the United
States closer to other
economically advanced
countries that guarantee
coverage.
The combination of sub-
sidized private insurance
through the new markets,
plus expanded Medicaid
in states accepting it,
could reduce the number
of uninsured by one-fourth
or more next year. Current
estimates of the uninsured
range from around 49 mil-
lion to well over 50 mil-
lion.
As Americans get more
familiar with the law
and if more states accept
the Medicaid expansion
millions more should
gain coverage. Many of
the remaining uninsured
will be people living in the
country illegally. They are
not entitled to benets.
In Texas, Republican
Gov. Rick Perry has
vowed not to facilitate
Obamacare. But Cecilia
Fontenot of Houston is
looking forward to the
opening of that states fed-
erally run insurance mar-
ket.
A part-time accountant
in her early 60s, Fontenot
is uninsured and trying to
stay healthy while coping
with diabetes, high blood
pressure and high choles-
terol. She walks twice a
day, early in the morning
before it gets hot, and in
the evenings.
Also on her mind is
a breast lump detected
about a year ago. Her doc-
tor recommended a digital
mammogram, but she has
not been able to afford the
more involved test.
I try not to worry
and just pray on it, said
Fontenot.
Because of her pre-exist-
ing conditions, Fontenot
would have a tough time
nding affordable indi-
vidual coverage today.
But starting Jan. 1, insur-
ers will no longer be able
to turn away people with
health problems or charge
them more.
And the government
will provide sliding-scale
tax credits that can make
premiums more affordable
for households earning
between 100 percent and
400 percent of the fed-
eral poverty line. Thats
$11,490 to $45,960 for
an individual, $23,550 to
$94,200 for a family of
four.
People on the low end
of the income scale get
more help, as will older
people, whose premiums
are higher.
With an annual income
of about $23,000,
Fontenot makes too much
to qualify for Medicaid.
And her state decided not
to expand the program, an
option the Supreme Court
granted last year as it
upheld the rest of Obamas
law.
But she would qualify
for subsidized private
coverage in the federally
run Texas marketplace.
She could apply online,
through a call center, by
mail or in person.
After the government
veries her identity, legal
residence and income,
Fontenot would be able
to take her tax credit and
use it to pick an insurance
plan. Coverage takes effect
Jan. 1.
Shed have up to four
levels of coverage to
choose from: bronze, sil-
ver, gold and platinum. All
cover the same benets,
but platinum has the high-
est premiums and lowest
out-of-pocket costs, while
bronze has the lowest pre-
miums and highest out-of-
pocket costs.
Fontenots share of pre-
miums would be capped at
6.3 percent of her income,
or $1,450 a year for a
benchmark silver plan.
Shed have to squeeze
about $120 a month out
of her budget, and that
doesnt include her annual
deductible and copay-
ments.
If I want to stay alive,
Im going to have to bud-
get that in, said Fontenot.
With insurance, shed
switch to a brand-name
diabetes drug that does a
better job of controlling
her blood sugars and
get that mammogram.
I am not asking for free
stuff, she added. I am
willing to do my part.
Like Fontenot, many of
the people wholl access
the markets Oct 1 will
have health problems. Its
where the greatest need is.
But two other groups
are critical to the pro-
grams success: Healthy
uninsured people, many
of them in their 20s and
30s, and insured people
who will switch over from
existing individual poli-
cies.
Healthy individuals are
needed to help pay for the
sick.
And with instant feed-
back via social media,
reviews by people switch-
ing from existing individu-
al plans could dene early
consumer sentiment.
Some of those transi-
tioning will be looking
for better deals. Others
will be there because their
insurers canceled policies
that didnt meet the laws
minimum standards, and
they may be upset.
Consumers dont have
to decide on Oct. 1. You
have until Dec. 15 to sign
up if you want coverage by
Jan. 1. And you have until
next Mar. 31 if you want to
avoid penalties for 2014.
Fines start as low as $95
the rst year but escalate
thereafter.
Procrastinate beyond
Mar. 31, and youll have
to wait until the next open
enrollment period in Oct.
2014, unless you have a
life-changing event such
as a job loss, divorce or the
birth of a child.
Former Medicare chief
Mark McClellan, who over-
saw the rollout of seniors
prescription drug benets
for Republican President
George W. Bush, says his
advice is not to sign up
right away, but not to wait
too long either. In other
words, check things out.
Buying health insurance is
not as simple as shopping
on Amazon.
Three key things to
watch for are premiums,
choice and the consumer
shopping experience.
Premiums so far are
averaging lower than what
government experts esti-
mated when Congress was
debating the law. Thats
important for policy types,
but it may not mean much
to consumers. Current
low-cost individual mar-
ket policies are difcult
to compare with the new
plans, which offer better
nancial protection and
broader benets.
Plan choices seem ade-
quate, but networks of
hospitals and doctors may
be tightly restricted to
keep premiums low.
The biggest unknown is
how consumers will feel
about the whole experi-
ence. Many will be unfa-
miliar with health insur-
ance basics, and applying
for subsidies may feel
like plodding through tax
forms.
Still, after years of
polemic debate and a
Supreme Court decision
and even as congressional
Republicans keep trying to
repeal it Obamacare
will nally be in the hands
of American consumers.
Editors note: This is one
in an occasional series by
The Associated Press about
the impact of the Afordable
Care Acts health insurance
exchanges. Open enrollment
for these exchanges, or
marketplaces, begins Oct. 1.

Exhibit raises funds for Polish hospital
SUSAN DENNEY
Times Leader Correspondent
NANTICOKE
Invited guests, including
the Polish ambassador
to the United States,
lled Luzerne County
Community Colleges
Schulman Gallery on
Friday evening for the
preview opening of an art
exhibit titled Crayons and
Care II.
The exhibit features
some 150 artworks created
by children who stayed
at Litewska Hospital in
Warsaw, Poland.
Children there typi-
cally have serious health
problems and often stay a
year for treatments. So the
institution has a fully func-
tioning school and a distin-
guished art department.
The children are always
happy when they are doing
the paintings, said Tom
Pugh, the chairman of the
exhibit.
Pugh, now retired from
the John Heinz Institute of
Rehabilitation, explained
how his connection with
the hospital began. While
he was working at the
institute, nurses from the
Polish hospital came for
a visit. They invited Pugh
to visit their hospital in
Warsaw.
Pugh did and was so
impressed with the art
department that he orga-
nized a fundraising effort
to support it. All funds
raised from the sale of
exhibited art will benet
the hospitals art depart-
ment.
Ryszard Schnepf, the
Polish ambassador, attend-
ed the opening with his
family, saying he felt it
a duty and a pleasure to
attend. Looking at your
faces, I feel I am in Warsaw
or Krakow, said Schnepf,
noting the number of
members from the areas
Polish community at the
event.
He thanked everyone for
their generosity saying,
You know better than any
people in the world how to
share with others in need.
Schnepf also translated
the remarks of schools
headmistress, Maria
Gebarowska.
Art is to forget about
pain and about being far
from home, she said.
After the ceremony
Schnepfs 4-year-old
daughter Antonia helped
with the ribbon-cutting.
Guests touring the art
exhibit found that most
of the paintings featured
bright primary colors.
The art is happy and
reects the culture of
Poland, with the popular
subjects being animals,
outdoor scenes, castles
and snowmen.
Deborah Vilegi-Peters,
dean of nursing and health
sciences at LCCC, waited
in line to purchase art for
her two sons. Im very
enthusiastic, said Vilegi-
Peters. Theyre support-
ing the health services in
another country.
Art purchased will
remain in the exhibit and
can be picked up at the end
of the show.
In conjunction with the
display, a childrens story
hour will be held from 2
to 3 p.m. today. The story
hour is open to the pub-
lic.
The gallery will remain
open until 6 p.m. today.

El i t e Deal er
weapons program and
imposing penalties if
President Bashar Assads
government fails to com-
ply will the terms.
After days of intense
day-and-night negotiations
between U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry and
Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov and their
teams, the two powers
announced they had a
framework for ridding the
world of Syrias chemicals
weapons.
The U.S. says Assad
used chemical weapons in
an Aug. 21 attack on the
outskirts of Damascus,
the capital, killing more
than 1,400 civilians. That
prompted U.S. President
Barack Obama to ready
American airstrikes on his
order until he decided
last weekend to ask for
authorization from the
U.S. Congress. Then came
the Russian proposal, and
Obama asked Congress,
already largely opposed to
military intervention, to
delay a vote.
Obama said the deal
represents an important,
concrete step toward the
goal of moving Syrias
chemical weapons under
international control so
that they may ultimately
be destroyed.
This framework pro-
vides the opportunity for
the elimination of Syrian
chemical weapons in a
transparent, expeditious
and veriable manner,
which could end the threat
these weapons pose not
only to the Syrian people
but to the region and the
world, he said in a state-
ment.
Kerry and Lavrov said
they agreed on the size
of the chemical weapons
inventory, and on a speedy
timetable and measures
for Assad to do away with
the toxic agents.
But Syria, a Moscowally,
kept silent on the develop-
ment, while Obama made
clear that if diplomacy
fails, the United States
remains prepared to act.
The deal offers the
potential for reviving
international peace talks
to end a civil war that
has claimed more than
100,000 lives and sent 2
million refugees eeing for
safety, and now threatens
the stability of the entire
Mideast.
Kerry and Lavrov, along
with the U.N.-Arab League
envoy to Syria, Lakhdar
Brahimi, said the chances
for a follow-up peace con-
ference in Geneva to the
one held in June 2012
would depend largely on
the weapons deal.
The U.S. and Russia
are giving Syria only one
week, until Sept. 21, to
submit a comprehensive
listing, including names,
types and quantities of its
chemical weapons agents,
types of munitions, and
location and form of stor-
age, production, and
research and development
facilities.
International inspectors
are to be on the ground
in Syria by November.
During that month, they
are to complete their initial
assessment and all mixing
and lling equipment for
chemical weapons is to
be destroyed. They must
be given immediate and
unfettered access to
inspect all sites.
All components of the
chemical weapons pro-
gram are to be removed
from the country or
destroyed by mid-2014.
Ensuring that a dicta-
tors wanton use of chemi-
cal weapons never again
comes to pass, we believe
is worth pursuing and
achieving, Kerry said.
For the moment, the
deal might not do much to
change the ghting on the
ground. But the impasse
in the international com-
munity over how to react
could ease somewhat with
the U.S. and Russia also
agreeing to immediately
press for a U.N. Security
Council resolution that
enshrines the weapons
deal.
They will seek a resolu-
tion under Chapter 7 of
the U.N. Charter, which
can authorize both the use
of force and nonmilitary
measures.
But Russia, which
already has rejected three
resolutions on Syria,
would be sure to veto a
U.N. move toward military
action, and U.S. ofcials
said they did not con-
template seeking such an
authorization.
The world will now
expect the Assad regime
to live up to its public
commitments, Kerry told
a news conference at the
hotel where round-the-
clock negotiations were
conducted since Thursday
night. There can be no
games, no room for avoid-
ance or anything less than
full compliance by the
Assad regime.
Kerry and Lavrov
emphasized that the deal
sends a strong message
not just to Syria but to the
world, too, that the use of
chemical weapons will not
be tolerated.
Lavrov added, cau-
tiously, We understand
that the decisions we have
reached today are only the
beginning of the road.
In an interview with
Russian state television,
Lavrov said the ground-
work for such an approach
to Syrias chemical weap-
ons stockpile began in
June 2012 when Obama
and Russian President
Vladimir Putin met on the
sidelines of the G-20 sum-
mit in Los Cabos, Mexico.
Both sides expressed
serious concern that it
could not be ruled out
that the chemical weap-
ons which Syria possessed
according to American
and our information
could fall into the wrong
hands, Lavrov said. The
presidents agreed to share
information on a regular
basis about Syrias arsenal,
he said.
Lavrov said both
Russian and U.S. ofcials
went on to contact Syrian
leaders to determine the
safety of weapons storage.
U.S. ofcials, speaking
on condition of anonym-
ity because they were not
authorized to publicly dis-
cuss details of the nego-
tiations, said the U.S. and
Russia agreed that Syria
had roughly 1,000 metric
tons of chemical weapons
agents and precursors,
including blister agents,
such as sulfur and mustard
gas and nerve agents like
sarin.
These ofcials said the
two sides did not agree
on the number of chemical
weapons sites in Syria.
U.S. intelligence
believes Syria has about
45 sites associated with
chemicals weapons, half
of which have exploit-
able quantities of mate-
rial that could be used in
munitions. The Russian
estimate is considerably
lower; the ofcials would
not say by how much.
U.S. intelligence agen-
cies believe all the stocks
remain in government
control, the ofcials said.
Noncompliance by the
Assad government or
any other party would be
referred to the 15-nation
Security Council by the
Organization for the
Prohibition of Chemical
Weapons. That group
oversees the Chemical
Weapons Convention,
which Syria this past week
agreed to join. The U.N.
received Syrias formal
notication Saturday and
it would be in effect Oct.
14.
The weapons groups
director-general, Ahmet
Uzumcu, spoke of adopt-
ing necessary measures
to put in place an acceler-
ated program to verify the
complete destruction of
Syrias chemical weapons,
production facilities and
other relevant capabili-
ties.
The U.S. and Russia are
two of the ve permanent
Security Council members
with a veto. The others
are Britain, China, and
France.
There is an agreement
between Russia and the
United States that non-
compliance is going to be
held accountable within
the Security Council
under Chapter 7, Kerry
said. What remedy is cho-
sen is subject to the debate
within the council, which
is always true. But theres
a commitment to impose
measures.
Lavrov indicated there
would be limits to using
such a resolution.
Any violations of proce-
dures would be looked
at by the Security Council
and if they are approved,
the Security Council
would take the required
measures, concrete mea-
sures, Lavrov said.
Nothing is said about the
use of force or about any
automatic sanctions.
Kerry spoke of a com-
mitment, in the event of
Syrian noncompliance, to
impose measures com-
mensurate with whatever
is needed in terms of the
accountability.
The agreement offers no
specic penalties. Given
that a thorough investiga-
tion of any allegation of
noncompliance is required
before any possible action,
Moscow could drag out
the process or veto mea-
sures it deems too harsh.
Kerry stressed that the
U.S. believes the threat
of force is necessary to
back the diplomacy, and
U.S. ofcials have Obama
retains the right to launch
military strikes without
U.N. approval to protect
American national secu-
rity interests.

Sept. 11, 2013
Joann R. Biros, 80, a lifelong
resident of Wilkes-Barre, passed
away suddenly on Wednesday
and has been reunited with her
beloved Frankie.
She was born in Wilkes-Barre
on Aug. 27, 1933, daughter
to the late Stanley and Anna
Gryczka Blessner.
She was a graduate of
Coughlin High School and
Wilkes-Barre Business College.
She retired from the Social
Security Administration.
Her Catholic faith was the
foundation of her life. She was a
member of St. Benedicts Parish,
Wilkes-Barre, and a previous
member of Sacred Heart Slovak
Church, Wilkes-Barre.
She was married for 38 years
to the love of her life, the
late Frank W. Biros. While he

ago, his memory and spirit was
always fresh and present in her
daily life.
Joann was active in Junior
Catholic Daughters and the
First Catholic Slovak Ladies
Association (FCSLA), Branch
172, where she and her late hus-
band both served for many years
as treasurer. She also assisted
Frank for many years as the trea-
surer for Sacred Heart Slovak
Church bazaars. Many people
would stop by the cash ofce
from year to year to visit them
both, as they spent their yearly
vacation working so hard for
their church.
Joann loved to do embroidery
many of her tablecloths and
runners were shared with family
members. She was also a collec-
tor Mr. Peanut memorabilia
(to represent the years her dear
husband worked at Planters/
Nabisco), Salt & Pepper shak-
ers, thimbles, bells and espe-
cially Elvis Presley memorabilia.
She especially loved the days
she shared with her dog, LuLu.
Her poochie baby was her con-
stant loyal friend and condant.
She was by her side until her last
breath.
Aunt J or Babi, as she
was lovingly called, was recently
honored at a small 80th birth-
day celebration at Onawandah
Campground, Tunkhannock.
She was able to get out of the
house and share a special day
(enjoying two of the best hot
dogs she ever had) with some
of her extended family nieces
and nephews, Donna Greytock
Baird, Debbie Greytock Chase,
Bill Jr. and Nikki Greytock,
Michele and Joe Thomas and

Brian and Eric Blessner; Lynn
Appleby Thrash and Robert

was a special treasure to Aunt
Joann.
Other extended family mem-
bers include a brother-in-law, Bill
Greytock Sr.; cousins, Sr. Joseph
Marie, OSF, Sr. Jo Louise, OSF;
Helene and John Jewell; and her

Neil J. Thompson, 63, of
Shickshinny Lake, passed away
peacefully on Thursday in the
home he built, surrounded by
the love of his family.

After his tenure at Northwest,
Neil joined PP&L, where he
specialized in health physics
and nuclear procurement.
Of Neils many personal and
professional accomplishments,
he considered his greatest
achievements to be his three
children: Heather, Autumn and
Neil John. He was proud of their
successes, but was most grate-
ful for the people who they grew
to become. He was honored to
be called DoD, Pop, Daddy-O,
Best Buggie and Dziadie. His
granddaughter Catherine was
an added gift.
In addition to spending time
with family and friends, Neil

Shickshinny Lake, restoring and
racing cars, walking the land,
ice cream, Little Debbies, Skoal
and Salem Lights.

Mulchwas includedwhen
the county spent about
$600,000 designing and
adding landscaping at that
time. The project included
the addition of about 250
trees, 500 shrubs, 12,000
perennials and 50,000 piec-
es of ground cover in the
stretch from the Dorothy
Dickson Darte Center to
the courthouse on River
Street, ofcials have said.
Mulch should be added to
the planting beds and bases
of trees andshrubbery every
year to retain moisture and
prevent weeds, Kane said.
The original project did not
include weed barrier fabric,
he said.
The initial layer of mulch
at the River Common
would cost an estimat-
ed $10,000 to $15,000,
but the expense would
decrease in subsequent
years because less mulch is
needed to top an existing
base, Kane said.
Kane has recommended
mulch several times, he
said, but ofcials have
cited the countys nancial
struggles.
Evergreens county con-
tract requires six planting
bed weed maintenance
sessions per year, and that
isnt enough to stay on top
of weeds without fresh
mulch, Kane said. Without
mulch, county ofcials
would have to seek more
frequent weeding when
the landscaping contract
comes up for bid again
next year if they want
to rid the park of weeds,
which would increase the
cost, he said.
The parks plantings also
were less vibrant this year
because it was a dry season
and the River Common
has no sprinkler system,
he said.
Kane agrees the River
Common lawn should not
be scalped because higher
grass is less susceptible to
fungus and drought.
He is willing to meet
with any county ofcials
to discuss the landscap-
ing and work handled by
his business, he said. Im
doing exactly what their
request-for-proposals calls
for, Kane said.
Water testing required
The fountain at the
River Common complex,
which also includes an
amphitheater and shing
pier/landing, was turned
on once this season for the
RiverFest, Belleman said.
County ofcials decided
in 2011 to use the foun-
tain only for major special
events because the county
cant afford the state-man-
dated water testing.
The fountain, located at
the MillenniumCircle levee
portal opening between
the courthouse and Market
Street Bridge, is regulated
as a public swimming pool
because it contains a pool
of underground water
that is circulated through
a ltration system. That
means the chlorine and pH
levels must be tested twice
a day when the fountain is
operating.
County levee crews
would have to be paid over-
time to check the water
chemistry on weeknights
and weekends when most
people would have free
time to visit the fountain,
ofcials have said.
Fountain damage caused
by record September 2011
Susquehanna ooding
has been repaired, but,
Belleman said, a tting at
the pump house that feeds
water to the fountain broke
last week. He wants to x
that mechanical issue in
time to operate the foun-
tain during a chalk festival
later this month.
Skateboard damage
A plan to target skate-
boarding at the Millennium
Circle also is on Bellemans
to-do list.
Police are regularly
called, but enforcement
is difcult because skate-
boarders quickly disperse,
county ofcials have said.
Grinding by skateboards
damages the sandstone
nish at the portal area.
Theyre violating the
rules of the park and
causing a lot of damage.
Unfortunately, its become
the worlds most expensive
skate park, Belleman said.
The county relies on the
volunteer Riverfront Parks
Committee to handle
event programming and
fundraising, and the orga-
nization has been trying to
nd sponsors to hold more
public and private events
at the park.
Though the recreational
parts of the River Common
dont fall under the aus-
pices of the ood author-
ity, Belleman said he will
continue to focus on ways
to improve the complex
in his new authority post
because the park and levee
are linked and viewed as
one by the public.
I think its a great set-
ting, a great community
asset, Belleman said.

River Common
Oh, yes, and the favor-
ite cow, for milk, grand-
daughter Ann Lewis said
Thursday as she walked
through the Lewis burial
ground in Bear Creek.
Ann Lewis never met
her grandfather, who died
two decades before she was
born. But his tender atti-
tude toward all creatures
was conveyed to her by
her late father, Lewis son,
Hugh Romaine Lewis.
He always said, take
care of your animals rst,
before you take care of your-
self, said the Wilkes-Barre
resident, who works as a
local real estate agent. He
was a gentle man. He truly
was.
In an era when horses
were still widely used to
move people and goods
around Americas cities and
towns, keeping the animals
hydrated was both humane
and necessary. It also made
good business sense.
Lewis was a member
of the East Florida Good
Roads League, which advo-
cated for improved road-
ways in the days before
automobile ownership
was widespread and paved
roads were anything but
universal.
Fascinated by palms
In addition to beauti-
fying St. Augustine-area
thoroughfares by planting
greenery Lewis was
fascinated by palm trees,
Greenleaf learned he
contributed signicant
sums toward upgrading the
roads themselves, just as he
did around Bear Creek.
So it was with what is
now known as South Dixie
Highway. A major artery
between St. Augustine and
outlying communities, the
road echoed to the clip-
clop of wagons lled with
produce bound for bustling
city hotels, as well as loads
of lumber and turpentine
eagerly consumed by the
local building trade.
Lewis paid for a busy
stretch of the Moultrie
road to be resurfaced
with crushed shells, taking
advantage of a local com-
modity. In 1904, according
to Greenleafs research,
Lewis also built the trough,
which was fed by an arte-
sian well.
Ann Lewis said she
learned about the trough
from Greenleaf, but was not
surprised to hear of it.
My grandfather held
horses in high regard, and
whenhe observedthat there
was a need for a place for
them to drink and refresh
themselves, he stepped up
to the task, she said.
Lewis gift to the horses
and mules of St. Augustine
outlived the benefactor,
who died in Bear Creek
in 1923, and continued to
function well into the auto-
mobile era. Greenleaf said
local residents spoke of
animals still watering at the
trough as late as the 1940s.
After that, it took on a
new role. The trough stood
at the entrance of the San
Juan Trailer Park, and the
developments name was
painted on the back of the
xture. Its basin, mean-
while, became home to
sprawling aloe plants.
To most people going
down the road, it does look
like a planter, Greenleaf
said.
Preserving history
Indeed, the trailer park
was more of a landmark
to late 20th century locals,
having occupied the prop-
erty for 50 years. The parks
demise spurred Greenleaf
into action about a year-
and-a-half ago.
My rst thought was,
someone is going to devel-
op this property and tear
it down, she said of the
trough, which is made of
bricks covered in concrete
or stone.
Greenleaf explained
what she learned about the
troughs origins to the prop-
erty owner, John Arbizzani.
Hes very much interested
in local history, and was
sympathetic to her goal of
seeking a local historical
marker, she said.
So were city ofcials.
Before they would erect a
sign, however, Greenleaf
needed to show proof of the
troughs historical signi-
cance.
Lewis name came up
in initial research as a
likely candidate, she said.
Formally connecting him
to the watering hole was
another matter. Ofcials at
the St. Augustine Historical
Society Library were help-
ful, but gently cautioned
Greenleaf that she might
never nd the missing link
she so desperately sought.
The historical soci-
ety had lots about Albert
Lewis, but they didnt have
anything about this trough,
specically, she said.
As he was in
Pennsylvania, Lewis was a
generous benefactor during
the years that he wintered
in St. Augustine, from his
road-improvement efforts
to supporting hospitals
and schools, according to
local attorney F. Charles
Petrillos 1998 biography,
Albert Lewis: The Bear
Creek Lumber and Ice
King.
Lewis also was a signi-
cant landowner in Florida.
Greenleaf learned how his
name lived on in Lewis
Point Road which led
to a popular picnic pavilion
he constructed as well
as Lewis Boulevard, Lewis
Speedway and a former
baseball eld. A title search
revealed the trough hadnt
been built on Lewis land,
however, but on an adjoin-
ing site owned by a Catholic
church from which Lewis
had purchased property.
With other records lack-
ing, a date carved into the
front of the trough left one
obvious but time-consum-
ing research option.
I literally had to read the
whole newspaper for 1904,
said Greenleaf, who took
two days off her job with the
St. Johns County Sheriffs
Ofce to do research. I sat
there from 9 in the morning
until 4:30 in the afternoon
and read all the microlm.
Midway through the
year, a major break: On
June 17, 1904, the paper
reported that workmen had
completed a 6-inch well
for Lewis on the Moultrie
road, and he will probably
have a trough put there for
the benet of travelers and
their animals.
But probably wasnt
good enough. As she
scrolled through the
months, laboriously scan-
ning pages covered in
oceans of tiny black type,
1904 slowly died away with
no further mention of the
well or a trough. Greenleaf
was slogging through the
nal months papers at 4:15
p.m. on the second after-
noon when her diligence
was rewarded.
On Dec. 8, 1904, the
paper reported among
local tidbits at the bot-
tom of Page 2 that Lewis
crews were upgrading the
Moultrie road south of a
Catholic cemetery. A water
barrel beside the road,
which was placed there at
the direction of Mr. Albert
Lewis, has been replaced by
that gentleman with a brick
trough, Greenleaf read.
I shrieked, she said.
Greenleafs task wasnt
quite nished. She had
to raise nearly $1,400
from donors to pay for the
plaque, and she had to work
closely with city ofcials
on drafting wording for the
marker.
Ann Lewis plans to
attend Saturdays ceremony.
The passion she has for
all that is historical, and for
this trough in particular, is
amazing, Ann Lewis said
of Greenleaf. I cant wait to
meet Sheila.

in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania because he has
relatives in the Carbondale
area and travels through
Northeastern Pennsylvania
on Interstate 81.
When I was 18 I started
a vending company. Ive
always had that entrepre-
neur mindset, he said. I
thought about franchises
and whatnot, and I really
like the idea of real estate.
The properties provide
income and increase in
value, he added.
When he became a land-
lord he noticed the reaction
of tenants to his apart-
ments, and that experience
changed his perspective.
Peters, who doesnt do
the work himself, said he
takes pride in providing
homes more so than apart-
ments and awaited the
reaction to the Hanover
Township property. Theyll
rent for between $700 and
$750 a month, he said.
When these people
come in here from wher-
ever theyre coming from,
theyre going to be like, Oh
my gosh, this is the nicest
place. And thats, thats
what its about, he said.
Peters said he would live
in any of the apartments
he owns, including the one
that was shut down. He has
put $70,000 into the Oxford
Street rental, he said, and
intends to spend another
$25,000 to $35,000. When
its completed, just about
everything will be new:
oors, electrical service,
baseboard heaters, win-
dows and roof.
Being an out-of-town
landlord doesnt have to
have bad connotations,
Peters said.
Every single person that
works in here, everything I
buy, everything is local, he
said. Everything stays in
the area. All the tax dollars
come here. All the people
working here live here, I
mean, its all local, its all
local stuff.
He might be local some-
day, too. He and his wife
would like to move to be
within a 20-mile radius of
the Wyoming Valley proper-
ties. He had a house under
contract in Nanticoke, but
the deal fell through, he
said.
Until that happens hell
make the drive to Luzerne
County to check on the
apartments and do it
more frequently since the
shutdown, he said.
Prospective tenants will
get a more scrutiny, too.
Finding a good tenant
is playing the lottery, he
said, adding the good ones
have lived at someplace
for 30 years.
Still, hes going to play
it with the hope of win-
ning. You cant go around
expecting the worst of
everybody, he said.
His rst apartment as a
tenant was in Boston when
he was 16 and out on his
own. He had to duck his
6-foot-2-inch frame to avoid
hitting his head.
But you knowwhat, that
guy gave me a chance, he
said. Guess what, I was
never late on the rent. I
didnt cause any damage
to the property. Im kind
of like the same way. Im
going to give you a chance
until you give me a reason
to prove, youre not, you
know, youre not eligible.

Adam Peters is a landlord renovating a property on Oxford Street in Hanover Township. Last week one
of his apartment units in Wilkes-Barre was shut down by the city for what officials say was a violation
of the citys new one-strike rule regarding problem properties.

Visit Tunkhannock during the next two
weeks and you can meet
A young Israeli woman trying to decide
whether to marry the widower of her
deceased sister.
A Danish man shunned by a community
that believes he behaved inappropriately
with a child.
A Jane Austen fanatic who visits a theme
park devoted to her favorite author.
A surgeon horried by the accusation
that his late wife was a suicide bomber.
Oh yes, and an English teacher from
Kingston who is extremely moved by the
script a former student has written.
Before you shake your head and say you
already know plenty of prose-and-poetry
educators who live in Kingston, please note
The English Teacher, starring Julianne
Moore and Nathan Lane, is one of 19 lms
to be shown during the 14 days of the 11th
annual Fall Film Festival at the Dietrich
Theater.
Writer Dan Chariton just happened to
place that story in Kingston, neighbor to
his native Wilkes-Barre, and it joins such
far-ung Film Festival settings as the Indian
Ocean (A Hijacking), the French Riviera
circa 1915 (Renoir) and the underwater
world of killer whales (Blacksh).
I love this festival, said lm buff Hildy
Morgan, who helped choose the line-up.
We get to see all these movies from other
countries and how they view things, which
is not necessarily the way we do. Does it
get any better than that in our small town?
One thats going to bring up a lot of dis-
cussion is The Attack, an Arabic movie
about a surgeon living in Israel with his
wife. His wife has died in an attack, and
she was actually the suicide bomber and he
was no idea. He asks himself, who was this
person I loved? Dietrich Theater director
Jennifer Jenkins said.
I dont know how you put your life
together after that, Morgan said, adding
that many of the movies are thought-pro-
voking and some are just plain fun.

Blue Jasmine. Director Woody Allen,
98 minutes, PG-13. Show times: Friday dur-
ing opening-night gala; 4:30 p.m. Sept. 24,

Early in the filming of her feature
documentary Made in L.A. director
Almudena Carracedo visited New York
City with Lupe Hernandez, one of the
women who appears in her film.
As they toured the historic Lower
East Side Tenement and the Museum of
Immigration at Ellis Island, Carracedo
watched Hernandezs reaction to the
information about immigrants who came
to New York 100 years ago.
She saw how they lived, how hard
they worked and how they struggled to
assert their rights, Carracedo wrote.
Its just like today! was her immediate,
gut reaction.
Carracedos Emmy Award-winning
film, the first of three movies to be
screened in a Diversity Film Festival
sponsored by Kings College, tells the
story of Hernandez, Maria Pineda and
Maura Colorado, three Latina garment
workers who toiled for decades in the
sweatshops of Los Angeles. It follows
their three-year journey to win basic
labor protections and shows the sacri-
fices they made to try to ensure better
lives for their children.
Wouldnt you leave your children, no
matter the danger, no matter the pain,
in order to send back enough money to
feed them? Carracedo asks. Wouldnt
you work day and night, no matter the
physical and emotional drain if you
had no other options? And wouldnt
you overcome your fears and stand
up one day to demand your rights in

Walters secrets to suc-

tips in Chapter 18 of an
Amazon bestseller co-
written by Jack Caneld
of Chicken Soup for the
Soul fame.
Walter, 66, joined
Caneld and 35 other
leading experts to co-
author the book. Walters
chapter is called Doing
the Right Thing for
Success.
The Harveys Lake resi-
dent now works in private

ofces in Shavertown and

San Francisco, Las Vegas

a former celibate monk
who later went to law
school and became an
assistant district attorney
in San Francisco.
Walter, a lector at
St. Therese Church in
Shavertown, founded
the legal side of the
Free Back Mountain
Medical/Legal Clinic in
1996 and the Elder Law

bar association. He and
his friends in Dallas also

of their labors has gar-
nered awards each year

The book has reached
bestseller status in seven
business categories,
according to a Celebrity

Times Leader: How
did you get involved
with the book?
Walter: I was contact-
ed by (Jack Canelds)
agent. It was just because
I have a very unusual
background in law. I try
to develop a win-win
strategy in law. In
other words, winning
is about doing the right
thing. That might mean if
youre playing tennis and
the ball is hit to you and
you see its out, you call
it out; if its in and close
to the line, you call it in,
even if you lose the game.
A lot of leaders in todays
society dont seem to sub-
scribe to that view.

Before you hit the Old Sod, hit the books; heres help
Its nowhere near St. Patricks Day yet,
but Joe Grandinetti (never mind
the Italian name) has a gift this
month for genealogists pursuing
their Irish ancestors.
At the opening meeting of the
2013-2014 season of the Northeast
Pennsylvania Genealogical Society,
Grandinetti will speak about his
quest to nd his Irish ancestors.
The talk is set for 7 p.m. Sept.
24 in Room 104 of the McGowan
Building, Kings College, in Wilkes-
Barre.
Much of his presentation will
be devoted to explaining how he
found his 19th-century immigrant ances-
tors homes abroad. Those ancestors had
settled in Pringle.
It will be an overview of my research,
my successes and failures, Grandinetti
said. The talk will be on methods and
techniques used to nd the towns
of origin in Ireland using U.S. and
other sources, including civil,
church and vital records.
Grandinetti, 46, is a resident
of the Mountain Top area. An
accountant in Wilkes-Barre, hes
been to Ireland twice, and hes
a big fan of doing scrupulous
research in advance of a trip.
I did a lot of work before I
went there. The preparations you
do here will pay off when you do
go over.
Hes used many sources of
information, including talking to all
living relatives and reading Irish land-
transfer documents. But his big break-
through came via U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Service records.
Alot of that research, he said, was done
through the Genealogical Society, which
has its research library at the Hanover
Green Cemetery, Main Road, Hanover
Township. The society is the local agent
for the massive collection of genealogi-
cal material held by the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, in Salt Lake
City, Utah.
Theyre a great group, he said.
The talk is open to the public. The
McGowan Building is at West Union and
North River streets.
For information on the society, check
its new website at www.nepgs.com.
Another interesting talk is scheduled
for 7 p.m. Wednesday at the meeting of
the Genealogical Research Society of
Northeastern Pennsylvania in Peckville.
Hank Loftus of the Doringer Glass
Museum will discuss Searching Old
Fire Insurance Maps.
These maps, originally prepared by
insurance companies to determine a
companys risk in insuring a building, are
useful to genealogists because they say
so much about our ancestors properties
and neighborhoods. They show a build-
ings footprint, construction materials
and use. They also might show details
such as doors and windows and locations
of re hydrants.
Because so many were produced by the
Sanborn Map. Co., they are sometimes
referred to as Sanborn maps. They are
mostly on microlm or microche. Many
are at the Library of Congress or major uni-
versity libraries. Public libraries and histori-
cal societies sometimes have local ones.
The societys headquarters is at 1100
Main St., Peckville. To reserve a seat, call
(570) 383-7661.

tions to the ill-fated ocean liner RMS
Titanic? Steamon up to the West Pittston
Library on Sept. 30 for a 6:30 p.m. pre-
sentation Pennsylvania Passengers on

author of Stories of the Wilkes-Barre

Barre resident Mae Thomas, daughter of

TV journalist David DeCosmo, whose
research unlocked one of the great mys-
teries of the disaster. The Titanic hit an
iceberg in the North Atlantic 100 years
ago and sank, taking more than 1,400
people to their deaths. The library is at
200 Exeter Ave., West Pittston.

Out On
A Limb
high school in Portugal.
I nished high school in
France. I went to school
in Japan. I went to col-
lege at (the University
of California) Berkeley.
Living in other cultures
with other styles of
clothes, music, it forces
an individual to open his
eyes to other views in the
world.
TL: What are your
secrets for success?
Walter: I think the rst
thing to recognize is the
two faces of ego: There is
the dark side of the ego,
which is selsh, greedy,
manipulative, cunning
and willing to hurt oth-
ers for personal benet.
The bright side of the ego
aspires to greatness, loves
education, loves personal
service to benet others
and make the world a bet-
ter place. The bright side
of the ego is competitive
but against the dark side
of others. We all have
the capacity to be Olympic
players in our own lives,
seeking excellence in
everything we do, from
washing dishes to mowing
lawns to looking a custom-
er in the eye, shaking his
hand and making a busi-
ness transaction that ben-
ets both sides.
TL: Have you lived
by this philosophy your
whole life?
Walter: Ive made mis-
takes. There were times I
havent learned from the
good examples of others
and have said things and
done things I later regret-
ted.
One of my mentors once
said the saddest words that
can be said are he could
have but didnt, and thats
what this book is about
stirring the embers of
the heart and ring aspira-
tions to step out of slum-
bering routines that waste
years of our lives.
TL: How long have you
lived in this area?
Walter: We bought our
home in 1993 in Dallas
and (later) bought a house
at Harveys Lake.
TL: How did you end
up here?
Walter: My wife
(Roberta) is from here.
She ran the Mr. B Fashion
Stores. (She has three
sons, Robert, Richard and
Ryan Costello.)
TL: Tell us about your
background as a monk.
Walter: I was a monk
for nine years in California,
Nevada and abroad. At
Berkeley I was a pre-med
student. I guess I was
a little unlucky. All my
internships were in doc-
tors ofces where the doc-
tor was more in love with
money than healing. I
wanted to take a semester
off, and there was a mon-
astery in the mountains in
Nevada, and from there, I
transferred between mon-
asteries.
TL: Why did you leave
the monastery?
Walter: I just came to
a point in my life where I
was ready to graduate.
So I went to a philosophy
professor (at the California
Institute of Asian Studies).
I fell in love with his pro-
tege, and she was going to
law school. I didnt want to
be a lawyer, but I loved her.
TL: What about your
winemaking?
Walter: My great-
grandfather lived in San
Francisco (and made
wine). I was fth-genera-
tion San Francisco, from
1849, right back to the
gold rush. My father was a
captain in the Navy; thats
why we traveled a lot. In
Portugal there are many
vineyards; in France there
are many vineyards. In
graduate school and law
school, I worked at ve-
star French and Italian res-
taurants in San Francisco.
When I moved to Dallas
I found some people who
were making wine.
TL: Is there anything
else youd like to say?
Walter: As far as the
book, the goal is make it
a wake-up call for peo-
ple to reach out to their
own greatness and make
the world better for our-
selves and our loved ones.
Lawyers work is a person-
al service industry where
heart and mind must work
together to heal wounds to
remedy problems and, ide-
ally, to prevent them in the
rst place.

Big-name authors have sequels and more this fall
A boy who survived a
haunted hotel grows up. A
Mississippi attorney faces
another racially charged
court case. And a once love-
lorn woman has a newcrush.
All of these characters are
older, and presumably wiser,
as this falls books include
several major sequels that
have been a long time com-
ing: Stephen King offers
Doctor Sleep 36 years
after his famous The
Shining. John Grisham
revisits Clanton, Miss., in
Sycamore Row, a follow-up
to 1989s A Time to Kill.
And Helen Fielding nds
Bridget Jones: Mad About
the Boy 15 years after her
famous diary and more than
a decade after she teetered
on the edge of reason.
In addition, Margaret
Atwood fans will grab the
third book in her speculative
trilogy with MaddAddam,
Amy Tan returns to ction
and Shanghai in The Valley
of Amazement and Thomas
Pynchon goes back to 2001
New York with Bleeding
Edge.
Readers wont have any
trouble nding big books
from big names this fall, par-
ticularly on the ction front
(well get to Wally Lamb,
Jonathan Lethem, Daniel
Woodrell, Kathryn Davis and
more shortly).
Historic moments
First, lets mention that
elephant-size conspiracy
in the corner: Nonction
authors will be revisiting
the past, too, with the 50th
anniversary of the assassi-
nation of President John F.
Kennedy.
Among a couple dozen
authors marking the Dallas
tragedy is respected presi-
dential biographer Robert
Dallek, who in Camelots
Court looks at Kennedys
own team of rivals. A doc-
tor who was in the hospital
when Kennedy was shot col-
lects physicians memories in
We Were There. Another
man who was there, former
Secret Service agent Clint
Hill, joins Lisa McCubbin
for Five Days in November.
Other remembrances are
compiled by Life (The
Day Kennedy Died) and
Dean Owen (November
22, 1963, with a foreword
by Helen Thomas) and at
least one book focuses on
providing a portrait of the
setting, Dallas 1963 by Bill
Minutaglio and Steven L.
Davis. Ira Stoll makes a case
for JFK, Conservative.
Of course, the crowd
claiming to divulge secrets
weighs in, including former
New York Times reporter
Philip Shenon, who says hes
found new FBI information
in A Cruel and Shocking
Act. Some of the oth-
ers: The Hidden History
of the JFK Assassination
by Lamar Waldron; CIA
Rogues and the Killing of the
Kennedys by Patrick Nolan;
and The Man Who Killed
Kennedy: The Case Against
LBJ by Roger Stone.
More history will be com-
ing, too, from Doris Kearns
Goodwin, who looks at
Theodore Roosevelt and
WilliamHoward Taft in The
Bully Pulpit. St. Louisans
will welcome author Bill
Bryson when he comes to
town for One Summer,
America 1927, which
recounts Charles Lindberghs
famous ight alongwithvari-
ous other spectacles, such as
Babe Ruths 60 home runs.
Meanwhile, novelist Fannie
Hurst is one of the women
proled in Miss Anne in
Harlem: The White Women
of the Black Renaissance by
Carla Kaplan, and Missouri
professor Steven Watts new
biography is of the Show-Me
States Dale Carnegie, Self-
Help Messiah.
Among other titles to
consider (with mostly self-
explanatory subtitles):
Small Wars, FarawayPlaces:
Global Insurrection and
the Making of the Modern
World, 19451965 by
Michael Burleigh; Thank
You for Your Service by
David Finkel; Heretics and
Heroes: How Renaissance
Artists and Reformation
Priests Created Our World
by Thomas Cahill; and On
Paper: The Everything of
Its Two-Thousand-Year
History by Nicholas A.
Basbanes.
Current affairs
Nonction authors arent
just looking at the past,
of course. Contemporary
society cant escape history
when Malcolm Gladwell
explains the world, as
he does with David and
Goliath: Underdogs, Mists,
and the Art of Battling
Giants. Mark Halperin and
John Heilemann revisit last
years presidential campaign
with Double Down and
Debora L. Spar says women
are stressing themselves
out by trying to having it all
in Wonder Woman: Sex,
Power and the Quest for
Perfection. Diane Ravitch
exposes the weaknesses of
charter schools in Reign of
Error and Eric Schlosser,
who once damned our fast
food nation, nds another
deadly topic. He details the
dangers of nuclear weap-
ons even if they arent
launched in Command
and Control.
Also look for Floating
City: A Rogue Sociologist
Lost andFoundinNewYorks
Underground Economy
by Sudhir Venkatesh; The
American Way of Poverty
by Sasha Abramsky; and
Perv: The Sexual Deviant
in All of Us by Jesse Bering.
Favorite sleuths
Popular ction no doubt
will provide some relief
from true-life poverty and
pervs. But best-selling nov-
els usually do offer a suspi-
cious death or two. That
includes Sue Grafton, who
will be only three letters
from the end of the alphabet
after she releases W Is for
Wasted, her 23rd Kinsey
Millhone mystery. Not far
behind Grafton are Janet
Evanovichs Takedown
Twenty; Patricia Cornwells
Dust, her 21st Kay
Scarpetta novel; and Sara
Paretskys 16th novel fea-
turing V.I. Warshawski,
Critical Mass.
Another big suspense
title is Never Go Back by
Lee Child, who sends hero
Jack Reacher on his 18th
adventure. More books with
male sleuths include Michael
Connellys The Gods of
Guilt, John Stanfords
Storm Front, Martin Cruz
Smiths Tatiana and Jo
Nesbs Police.
For those interested in
less-familiar land, Alex
by Pierre Lemaitre, trans-
lated from the French, is a
possibility, says Publishers
Weekly magazine, which
also points to Paula Dalys
rst novel, Just What Kind
of Mother Are You? Like
Daly, Carla Norton also
focuses on kidnapped girls in
her rst novel, The Edge of
Normal.
My family and me
Memoirs and biogra-
phies, of course, look at the
past and so will volume 2
of Autobiography of Mark
Twain, which includes
many family remembrances,
such as the time the familys
cool-headed German nurse
saved 7-year-old Clara when
her bed caught re.
Modern writers also
remember their parents
and siblings. The Death of
Santini by Pat Conroy may
appeal to those who recall
his 1976 novel The Great
Santini, in which the narra-
tor said he hated his father.
Delia Ephron, whose sister,
Nora, died last year, offers
her own memoir with Sister
Husband Mother Dog: Etc.
(A collection, The Most of
Nora Ephron, will be anoth-
er way to honor the writer.)
Jesmyn Ward, the young
author who won a National
Book Award for Salvage
the Bones, has had more
than her share of deaths.
Her 19-year-old brother was
killed by a drunken driver,
and in Men We Reaped,
she writes about him and
four black male friends who
died young.
Film critic Molly Haskell,
meanwhile, remembers
when her brother decided
to become a woman in My
Brother My Sister, and
Ann Patchett comes to St.
Louis with a collection of
essays, This Is the Story
of a Happy Marriage (is
there a note of irony there?).
Katy Butler uses her parents
experiences to look at end-
of-life care in Knocking on
Heavens Door: The Path
to a Better Way of Death.
Also look for memoirs by
Amanda Lindhout, Stephen
Hawking, William Ayers and
Billy Crystal.
On the biography front,
well soon know any new
secrets uncovered by
David Shields and Shane
Salerno about the author of
The Catcher in the Rye.
Salinger goes on sale Sept.
3. A. Scott Berg examines a
president in Wilson, and
Bill OReilly and Martin
Dugard continue their best-
selling series of famous
deaths with a big one,
Killing Jesus.
Literary stars
Although well-known
authors and series almost
always get more sales,
admired novels by literary
writers usually get more
love from critics. This fall,
that includes at least three
with Missouri ties, Ozarks
novelist Daniel Woodrell, St.
Louis writer Richard Burgin
and Washington University
professor Kathryn Davis,

Richard Burgin, who
recently retired from St.
Louis University, still edits
the journal Boulevard. His
16th book, Hide Island,
will be his eighth collection
of short stories. Writer Joyce
Carol Oates once wrote
that what Edgar Allan Poe
did for the psychotic soul,
Richard Burgin does for the
deeply neurotic who pass
among us disguised as so
seemingly normal we may
mistake them for ourselves.
Woodrells rst novel since
2006s Winters Bone is,
like that acclaimed story, set
in the deep Ozarks. The
Maids Version is slim-
mer, though, and inspired
by a true event involving a
dance-hall explosion in West
Plains, Mo. The illiterate
maid of Woodrells novel has
her own ideas about what
caused the West Table
tragedy, which takes her sis-
ter and 41 others in 1929.
A Publishers Weekly editor
calls The Maids Version an
under-the-radar pick that is
entirely original, brutal, and
darkly elegant.
Another under-the-radar
novel is My Notorious Life
by Kate Manning, based
on an infamous midwife in
19th-century New York.
Jonathan Lethem, known
for Motherless Brooklyn
and other stories about that
borough, this time inl-
trates Queens for Dissident
Gardens, which follows
three generations of rabble-
rousers.
Another eagerly awaited
New York story is Donna
Tartts The Goldnch,
about an orphan who is
drawn ino the citys art
underworld.
At least twoPulitzer Prize-
winning ction writers have
new novels: Jhumpa Lahiri
(Interpreter of Maladies)
has another Indian-
American family story with
The Lowland while Paul
Harding, who won in 2010
for Tinkers, follows that
novel with Enon, which
involves the grandson of
the dying man in the earlier
book. Another quiet novel
will be Someone by the
admired Alice McDermott.
Her someone is a shy girl
with thick glasses who grows
up to be a fairly ordinary
woman. Somehow, though,
McDermott always makes
her someones remarkable.
Wally Lambs new novel,
We Are Water, centers on
the family dynamics that
result when the divorced
mother of three decides
to marry her art dealer
(a woman). In Edwidge
Danticats Claire of the Sea
Light, a Haitian girl disap-
pears on her birthday, the
day her poor father decides
to give her to a shopkeeper.
During a fall with almost
too many major authors
offering new books, heres
more to consider: J.M.
Coetzee (The Childhood
of Jesus); Jayne Anne
Camelots Court, by respect-
ed presidential biographer
Robert Dallek, looks at John F.
Kennedys own team of rivals.
Malcolm Gladwell explains the
world in David and Goliath:
Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art
of Battling Giants.
Sue Grafton will be only three
letters from the end of the
alphabet after she releases W
Is for Wasted, her 23rd Kinsey
Millhone mystery.
The Death of Santini by Pat
Conroy may appeal to those
who recall his 1976 novel The
Great Santini, in which the nar-
rator said he hated his father.
Phillips (Quiet Dell); Bob
Shacochis (The Woman
Who Lost Her Soul);
Elizabeth Gilbert (The
Signature of All Things);

McMillan (Who Asked

All-Girl Filling Stations Last
Reunion); Tom Perrotta
(Nine Inches: Stories);
Dave Eggers (The Circle);
Joanna Trollope (Sense

another sequel, Robert

[email protected]
Fantasy football does not lend itself to
long-term relationships.
You drafted a team in August. Thats
great, but dont get too attached to it.
Dont take it home to meet the folks.
Dont buy it a ring. Dont go steady. Dont
fall in love. If you want to be successful,
you have to treat your team like its the
late 1970s and your white-suited self just
compared astrological signs under a disco
ball.
So, you went home with David Wilson
and Steven Ridley on draft day? Goodbye
stranger, its been nice, now heres some
cab fare.
You suddenly began to notice Joique
Bell? You might want to buy him a drink.
(Not literally. That would be creepy.)
After the cold reality of week 1, there are
just some draft-day sweethearts you are
better off without, and some new ings
you need to get jiggy with.
DUMP EM!
1&2: David Wilson and Steven
Ridley, RBs, Giants and Patriots,
respectively: Two guys with a lot in
common. Both were expected to be pri-
mary backs with goal-line duties in high-
powered offenses. Problem is, they have
something else in common: Theyre also
prone to fumbling and have head coaches
who hate that. While Wilson and Ridley
will have some good games, can you risk
one fumble that could send them to the
bench at any moment? That would be a
no.
3: Lamar Miller, RB, Dolphins:
Plenty of running backs struggle in
week 1. Heck, top 10 backs C.J. Spiller,
Marshawn Lynch and Trent Richardson
wont be bragging about last week any-
time soon. What sets Miller apart is just
how godawful he looked. He had 10 rush-
es for 3 yards and caught one pass. And
that was for a team that had the LEAD
and wanted to run out the clock.
4: Golden Tate, WR, Seahawks:
Tates name shot up the sleeper lists when
Percy Harvins hip problems ared up.
Surely, the former Notre Dame wideout
stood to be the guy picking up the slack.
But that doesnt seem to be working out.
Doug Baldwin has been the guy Russell
Wilsons looked to in the early going,
and Tate has remained more famous for
catching the infamous Fail Mary last
year. Besides, other than Tim Brown, can
you name another Notre Dame WR in the
last 30 years who has had success in the
NFL? Exactly.
5: Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Steelers:
This one hurts. I had high hopes for
Roethlisberger as a nice backup QB with
fantasy upside. But after one game, its
obvious. Good defenses will be sacking
Big Ben like Visigoths on Rome. And he
faces a load of good defenses this year:
the Bengals, Browns and Ravens six
times, Miami and the Bears. Thats half a
season with subpar stats.
PICK EM UP!
1: Joique Bell, RB, Lions: As a
rookie in 2012, he caught 52 passes and
rushed for a 5.0 YPC average. So why
was it such a surprise he was a big part of
the Lions game plan on Sunday? He has
value in his current role, but as a backup
to Reggie Bush, he has even more. In his
career, Bush has played in all 16 games
only twice once as a rookie in 2006.
And hes already nicked up. Guess who
gets that work if Bush cant go?
2: Rod Streater, WR, Raiders:
Streaters role in Oakland is sort of
like The Most Interesting Man in the
World. The Raiders dont often throw
the ball, but when they do, they throw
to Streater. Dont expect him to be the
next A.J. Green or anything. The Raiders
offense is still less-than-stellar. But as a
bye week ll-in and spot starter, Streater
will produce nice numbers.
3: Terrelle Pryor, QB, Raiders: OK,
so an Oakland Raiders QB with a ques-
tionable arm and limited experience is a
recommended pickup? Yes. That is true.
And the decision was a relatively sober
one. As with Roethlisberger, Pryor isnt a
good play when he plays good defenses.
But unlike Ben, Pryor gets to face the
Chargers, Chiefs and Broncos six times
a year. As an added bonus, Oakland will
probably be trailing many of those games,
which means cheap, garbage time points.
They count, you know.
4: Nick Foles, QB, Eagles: Watching
Monday nights Eagles-Redskins game
brought two things to mind: 1-There are
fantasy points apletnty in that Eagles
offense, and 2-Michael Vick is going to
take a beating. His history has never been
one of durability, so you just know, at
some point Foles is going to get the keys
to that offense maybe for good.
5: Jets defense: Dont look now, but
the Jets held two pretty good offenses to
17 and 13 points respectively in the rst
two games. And, while head coach Rex
Ryan may not be the second coming of
Weeb Ewbank, he has a great defensive
mind. With an unproven rookie at QB, the
team knows it has to keep games close, so
watch for an extra emphasis on defense.
WEEK 2 PREDICtIOnS
EARL BLOOM
The Orange County Register
San Franciscos Jim Harbaugh
was out of uniform in the rst half
Sunday against Green Bay, wear-
ing an old Reebok long-sleeved
49ers T-shirt before changing into
approved Nike garb at halftime.
Tampa Bay QB Josh Freeman
slept in and missed the team photo
last week before failing to be
re-elected a captain by his team-
mates, who chose Vincent Jackson
instead.
Linebacker Dan Connor, one of
the New York Giants accused of
faking injuries by Dallas owner
Jerry Jones, went on IR because of
a season-ending neck injury.
And 49ers QB Colin
Kaepernick, post-Packers, deliv-
ered an all-timer: If intimidation
is your game plan, I hope you have
a better one.
All that provides a hard act to
follow in Week 2, but theyll try
and well keep picking.

fAntASY fOOtBALL
Budding rivalry takes center stage
DAnIEL BROWn
San Jose Mercury News
SANTA CLARA, Calif. Colin
Kaepernick and Russell Wilson go head
to head Sunday night.
Get used to it.
This is something that we can see the
next 10 years, Rodney Harrison, the
former All-Pro safety, said.
Harrison knows something about
quarterback rivalries, having played for
New England during the era of Tom
Brady vs. Peyton Manning.
Now, as the 49ers head for Seattle and
a prime-time showdown, Harrison said
the NFC West stars might represent the
next big passing show.
You see the transition of Tom Brady
and Peyton Manning getting a little
older, the NBC analyst said. But you
see these young quarterbacks the tal-
ent, the leadership and the maturity that
they have and I think its exciting for
football.
Sunday marks just the second install-
ment of what should be a long-running
series. Kaepernick is 25. Wilson is 24.
Combined, they have a mere 25 career
regular-season starts. Even St. Louis
Rams youngster Sam Bradford has 43 all
by himself.
But their early ashes of potential
have raised eyebrows. It has taken only
a handful of games for Kaepernick and
Wilson to emerge as the faces, not to
mention the arms and legs, of a blossom-
ing division rivalry.
Theyre both cut from the same
(cloth), 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh told
Seattle reporters this week. Each guy
has everything that you want in a foot-
ball player.
They have a lot in common besides
their teams mutual disdain.
Both passers draw inspiration from
their draft day snubs: Kaepernick slipped
to the second round in 2011; Wilson was
a third-rounder in 2012.
Both are dragony fast. Kaepernick
clocked a 40-yard dash time of 4.53;
Wilson was a tick away at 4.55.
And both are suddenly among fast
company: Since Week 9 of last season,
the highest passer ratings in the NFL
belong to Wilson (119.6), Manning
(109.5), Aaron Rodgers (107.4),
Kaepernick (103.5) and Drew Brees
(100.6).
Phil Simms, the former Super Bowl
quarterback who now works as a CBS
Sports analyst, said all the focus on the
read-option detracts from the quarter-
backs other skills.
People say, Oh, they can run. But
they forget: Were talking about Russell
Wilson and Colin Kaepernick, who have
big-time NFL arms, Simms said. Big-
time.
Because of their corresponding mete-
oric rises, Kaepernick and Wilson are
now so intertwined that the Madden
NFL 25 video game built an ad cam-
paign around them.
The plot line is that young Colin
and young Russell met at Camp
Winnepesaukee in the late 1990s and
made a vow to become the greatest
mobile quarterbacks in the NFL so that
they can someday beat each other, with
each other, in Madden.
It was a bit of a gamble, basing an ad
campaign on a pair of neophytes, but
Anthony Stevenson, the senior director
of marketing for EA Sports, said execu-
tives quickly recognized the long-term
potential of two charismatic passers.
In his opener, Wilson threw for 320
yards to lead a comeback on the road
against the Carolina Panthers.
That dramatic ending continued a
trend for Wilson, who three times last
year delivered a game-winning touch-
down pass in the nal two minutes of
regulation or overtime, the most by a
rookie since the 1970 merger.
Wilson also won a fourth game with
a running touchdown with less than 2
minutes to play.

Turmoil drives Eagles CBWilliams
ZACH BERMAn
The Philadelphia Inquirer
Cary Williams cannot remember all
the odd jobs he worked. He lifeguard-
ed and unloaded trucks for FedEx. He
punched the clock at Target and manned
the overnight sanitation shift at a Frito-
Lay factory. He took phone calls and
installed satellite dishes for DirecTV.
He extends his ngers as he listed the
high schools he attended. There were
three in four years.
He cant keep track of all the homes
he lived in, bouncing from one place to
the next, sometimes spending nights in
a hotel where his father was a security
guard.
And hes forthcoming acknowledging
what he endured as a kid, with a schizo-
phrenic mother and an abusive father.
His cousin took him in after an inter-
vention from Child Services because the
bruises on his body became too com-
mon.
Gunshots in his native Liberty City,
Fla., were daily alarms. He witnessed
robberies. He saw his own home robbed.
Refuge was the football eld, which isnt
uncommon in the NFL.
But even that didnt go as planned. He
never played division I-A football. He
was kicked off the teamat Fordham, took
time off, and nished at small Washburn
College in Topeka, Kan.
His path to a three-year, $17-million
contract with the Eagles included a prac-
tice squad stint, a reserve role, and even-
tually a starting spot on a Super Bowl
champion.
You cant let your circumstances dic-
tate your life forever, Williams said.
And I dont necessarily look at the
bad as something constricting. Theres
always a way out.
Once that contract was signed,
Williams honeymoon was short-lived.
Williams became one of Philadelphias
most controversial athletes even before
playing a down for the Eagles.
He missed optional workouts in the
spring for his wedding, and then to
watch his daughters dance recital, get
dental work, and nish building a home
sconces included.
Time with Williams helps to under-
stand the person, and that helps to
understand how hes wired.
He wants to be with his daughter
because he didnt have that family
structure at her age.
A home is important to him because
he didnt have a stable one. And
that edge he plays with is a part of
an ethos developed cleaning Frito-
Lay trays at midnight in Kansas.

Jets Sanchez placed on short-termIR
DEnnIS WASZAK Jr.
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK Jets quarterback Mark
Sanchez was placed on short-term injured
reserve Saturday, meaning he will not be
able to play for the next eight weeks.
Sanchez injured his right shoulder in
the teams third preseason game against
the Giants. He has opted to try to reha-
bilitate the injury rather than have season-
ending surgery.
The exact nature of the injury has not
been announced, but some published
reports say it is a partially torn labrum.
Sanchez must miss the next six weeks
of practice and wont be able to play in a
game until after the Jets 10th game. The
earliest Sanchez could be back is Nov. 17
at Buffalo, following the Jets bye week.
Teams can place only one player on
short-term IR per season. So it appears
there is a strong feeling in the organiza-
tion that Sanchez could return to play, if
needed, later this season.
On Friday, coach Rex Ryan said it was
very possible that Sanchez could be back.
If we didnt think itd be realistic that
Mark would get on the eld, then he
would be put on IR, Ryan said Friday.
And thats not the case.
Geno Smith has started the Jets rst
two games and it appears will continue
to be under center while Sanchez is side-
lined. Matt Simms and Brady Quinn are
the other quarterbacks on the roster.
Sanchez appeared to have an edge
in the tightly contested quarterback
competition this summer after Smith
struggled with three interceptions in
the preseason game against the Giants.
But Ryan put Sanchez into the game
in the fourth quarter of that game, and
the quarterback took a crunching hit
to his shoulder from Marvin Austin.
Ryan has been heavily criticized
for that decision but has insisted that
Sanchez had not won the competition.
Whats love got to
do with fantasy?
Not a darn thing!

Nanticoke stifed in second half of loss to Susquehanna
TOM ROBINSON
For the Times Leader
SUSQUEHANNA
Susquehanna packed all its
scoring into an 11-minute,
rst-half urry that erased
an early Nanticoke lead.
The Sabers then turned
to their defense to provide
rst-year head coach Kyle
Cook with his rst career
victory.
Defensive end Christian
Miller led an effort that
limited the visiting Trojans
to 20 second-half yards
while lifting the Sabers to
a 21-14 victory at William
Emminger Memorial Field.
With leading rusher Pat
Hempels availability limit-
ed, Nanticoke (1-2) looked
to go to the air against
Susquehanna.
We didnt want to run
the ball, Nanticoke coach
Ron Bruza said. We came
out with a passing mindset
and we threw the ball pretty
well.
We had some crucial
breakdowns in assign-
ments.
Nanticoke, which took
the lead less than four min-
utes into the game on a
28-yard, Joe Lavendowski-
to-Tyler Hanna pass, looked
to throw 10 times in the
second half. The Trojans
managed just one comple-
tion in that time, however,
as Miller produced two
sacks and was part of a
pass rush that set up a Brett
Hepler interception.
Susquehanna scored
touchdowns 1:50 apart
late in the rst quarter
and scored again midway
through the second quarter
for a 21-7 lead.
Quarterback Austin
White had 109 of his 128
yards in the rst quar-
ter when he scored on
touchdown runs of 14 and
65 yards on consecutive
Susquehanna offensive
plays.
Austin Felter went 39
yards for the second-quar-
ter touchdown.
Nanticokes defense
helped cut into the decit
before halftime and give the
team some chances to rally
in the second half.
Brad Yanus recovered a
fumble at the Susquehanna
35 with two minutes left
in the half. Levandowski
found Kyle Gavrish with a
34-yard pass to set up his
own 1-yard touchdown run
with 31 seconds remaining.
Susquehanna held the
ball for 10:45 of the 12 min-
utes in the third quarter,
but missed a eld goal.
Nanticoke forced two
punts and made two fourth-
down stops in its own ter-
ritory in the fourth quarter
to stay within a touchdown.
The defense played
hard, Bruza said. They
played solid.
The offense, however,
never got past mideld in
the second half.
The only time Nanticoke
got close was when it
picked up two of its three
second-half rst downs to
get to the 47 with ve min-
utes left. On rst down,
Miller and Jon Haines each
hit Levandowski, forcing
an overthrow that Hepler
pulled in.
The big thing was we
needed our line to get a big
push and it did, Hepler
said.
Gavrish intercepted a
pass and broke up two oth-
ers for Nanticoke. He also
made 15 tackles, including
one for a loss, and assisted
on ve.
It was not enough for the
Trojans.
We had a lot of calls that
didnt go our way, Bruza
said. Im really proud of
my guys. It just didnt work
out the way it should have
worked out.

Old Forge too much for Holy Redeemer
JuSTIN BeITeR
For The Times Leader
WILKES-BARRE- With
a Friday night showdown
looming against fellow
District 2 power Dunmore,
looking ahead wasnt
an option for Old Forge
against Holy Redeemer.
Mission accomplished.
The Blue Devils scored
touchdowns on their rst
seven possessions, rack-
ing up 385 yards on just 35
plays, in a dominant 48-14
victory. Theyre a tough
team, Holy Redeemer
coach Pat Reece said of
Old Forge. Theyre a very
disciplined team. Thats
what you get out of them.
They dont make many
mistakes. They are very
physical, and they come
to play. Old Forge (3-0)
wasted little time nding
the scoreboard. Brandon
Yescavage took a pitch
on his teams third offen-
sive play and found room
down the right sideline for
a 57-yard touchdown run.
It was just the start of a
huge day for Yescavage,
who scored four times
and rushed for 216 yards.
If (Yescavage) didnt get
hurt his sophomore year,
I think a lot more people
would know about him,
Old Forge coach Mike
Schuback said. He basi-
cally missed a whole sea-
son, which sucked for us
and him. But he overcame
that and he worked real
hard. The bottom line is,
its a credit to him. All
offseason he worked very
hard. Yescavage would
nd the endzone two more
times in the rst quarter
to cap off short scoring
drives. His run off right
tackle gave the Blue Devils
a 14-0 lead. That was fol-
lowed by a 1-yard plunge
less than ten minutes
into the game. The run-
ning game continued to
be dominant for Old Forge
in the second quarter.
Yescavage broke off runs
of 11 and 37 yards before
scoring on a 4-yard run to
increase the lead to 35-0
with 6:40 left in the peri-
od. The Royals were able
to mount a scoring threat
by reaching into their bag
of tricks. A well-execut-
ed hook and lateral play
between Jason Hoggarth
and Pat Villani resulted in
a 55-yard gain. However,
the rst-and-goal didnt
result in any points as a
sack and two incomple-
tions halted the drive. We
gured we could catch
them, Reece said. We
were doing a lot of hitches.
So we gured we could get
them on a hook and lad-
der and maybe get in the
endzone. Quarterback
Jake Manetti completed
the rst half onslaught for
Old Forge with a 3-yard
scoring run on a quarter-
back sneak up the middle
in the closing seconds of
the rst half. Our offen-
sive line has been together
three years, Schuback
said. We replaced a cou-
ple kids, but the core of
the offensive line is back.
The kids put the time in.
They came off the ball
really well (Saturday.)
Im really proud of them.
Offensively, I thought
we hit on all cylinders.
Trailing 48-0, Holy
Redeemer used another
gadget play to nally give
their fans something to
get excited about. Eric
Kerr took an end around
and threw a pass to a wide
open Hoggarth who was
behind the secondary for
a 63-yard scoring strike.
I knew it was going to
work, Reece said. We set
it up before the half. We
ran a regular reverse and
then came back around
with a reverse pass. It just
was some things that we
did using trickery to try
and get the ball in the end
zone.

Coughlins line paves way to victory
JOhN eRZaR
[email protected]
WILKES-BARRE Running
back Paul Cole and quarter-
back Tim Pilch each rushed for
over 100 yards Saturday night
against Western Wayne. Part of
their performance was because
of their running ability. Part
was the job the offensive line
did up front.
The big guys helped Coughlin
gain 354 yards on the ground as
the Crusaders stayed unbeaten
with a 35-14 non-conference
victory over Western Wayne.
Cole nished with 146 yards
and Pilch added 106, and each
ran for a score. Tom Mitchell
added 55 more on just three
carries, and Tyler Layton had
45 on four rushes.
We always know were
strong up front, said Coughlin
lineman Pat Pilch, Tims twin
and much bigger brother.
The line, all ve of us were
working hard today. Thats how
we make holes and how we had
two 100-yard rushers. It was a
whole team effort.
Pat Pilch was referring to
fellow interior linemen Jason
Evans, Brendon Jones, Anthony
Khalife and Chris Sebia.
Coughlin coach Ciro Cinti also
added tight end Frank Wojtash,
who also had one of three inter-
ceptions on defense.
The combined total put
Coughlin at 3-0 and dropped
Western Wayne to 1-2.
As for the defense, it essen-
tially pitched a shutout.
Western Wayne scored one
touchdown via punt return and
the other came with 14 seconds
remaining in a battle of starters
versus the Coughlin backups.
Of course, Cinti like most
high school coaches found a
few aws in an otherwise domi-
nating performance.
Overall, Im happy we won
and thats the bottom line,
Cinti said. But were still doing
things we shouldnt be doing in
Week 3. As coaches, we have to
do a better job stressing that to
our players. We go over things
and were still making the same
mistakes.
Coughlin stressed this week
stopping Western Wayne run-
ning back Jayson Figueroa.
Figueroa was basically a one-
man offense for the Wildcats.
He accounted for 226 yards
rushing and receiving. The
rest of the Wildcats totalled 22
yards.
Figueroas nal numbers were
pumped up by a 59-yard run and
a 51-yard reception. Other than
those two plays, he wasnt a big
factor.
We were working on keying
on him all week and their for-
mations, Pat Pilch said. It was
all of us studying hard, and we
were able to stop him because
we knew what they were run-
ning.
Coughlin led 21-0 at halftime
as Cole scored on a 6-yard run
and Tim Pilch threw TD passes
of 39 yards to Darik Johnson
and 29 yards to Dave Parsnik.

Nanticoke showing improvement fromrecent past
JOHN MEDEIROS
[email protected]
NANTICOKE The
days work is done and
equipment is being packed.
Watercoolers are dumped
out, leaving a pile of ice
cubes in the grass.
A player walks over to
the pile and extends her
days workout. She tosses
a cube in the air, her left
hand then joins her right
on her bat as she literally
crushes one with the sweet
swing girls from Nanticoke
are known for.
Ice goes everywhere.
She reaches down for
another ice cube and hits
another home run. And
another. And another.
Finally, a coach tells the
player that her practice is
over. A eld hockey stick
isnt for hitting home runs,
anyway.
Nanticoke is known for
its championship-caliber
softball. And exceptional
girls basketball. And stel-
lar girls volleyball.
But eld hockey?
Ive got to get them into
the gymand showthemthe
banners, Nanticoke coach
Lori Dennis said of her
teams knowledge of past
Trojans glory. This group,
they are competitive and
aggressive. You cant teach
that. They know where
they come from and they
want to bring the program
to the next level.
It hasnt been the best
of times for Nanticoke in
recent years. A 3-12 sea-
son in 2011 is the best
campaign among the last
three, where the Trojans
have won just six of 45
games.
But it was just in 2009
when the Trojans won the
WVC Division 2 cham-
pionship with a 9-5-1
record, led by former
Old Dominion standout
Kati Nearhouse. In 2007,
Nanticoke was 13-2 and
won another division title
with Gabrielle Malischak
(Slippery Rock) helping
lead the way.
They like being part of
something positive here,
Dennis said of this edition
of the Trojans. Theyre
out here working hard.
They are excellent with
each other. They pick each
other up, give each other a
pat on the back when they
need to.
Theres more going on
in Nanticoke than whats
found in the standings.
The program has been
reborn after losing a cou-
ple of large classes and
facing the challenge of soc-
cers relocation to the fall.
The returning players
gained key experience
last season Amber
Grohowski scored the
winner against district-
seminalist Wyoming
Area on a set-up by Carly
Grabowski, Becca Morgis
set up the winner against
Abington Heights, Maddy
ODonahue left the back-
line to post two shutouts
in her rst seven games as
a goalkeeper.
Crestwood has 60 come
out, and 25 are competing
for starting spots, Dennis
said. I have 30 (come out)
and Im out of my mind. If
you cant get numbers, you
cant compete. Were like
Cinderella. We played with
17 last year and dropped
the junior high team. We
were able to resurrect it
this year.
Improvement wont
mean a division title this
season, but there has been
improvement. Nanticoke
forced overtime in two of
its rst three games
against Wyoming Area
and Delaware Valley,
teams which reached the
District 2 seminals a sea-
son ago. Players like Kayla
Gronkowski, Savannah
Oliver, Sarina Kinlaw,
Jennifer Lopez and Liz
Colemire, as well as others,
have helped the Trojans
become more competitive.
Sam Garvey gives you
everything, Dennis said.
Kara Voyton never played
before last year and plays
varsity. Shes tough as
nails. Our goalie, Maddy
ODonahue, moved there
last year and is just a nat-
ural. Shes a catcher (in
softball) and shes got all
the angles down. You cant
count these girls out until
the games over.
In the WVC, competi-
tive is an accomplishment.
Theres powerhouse pro-
grams everywhere on the
schedule state cham-
pion Crestwood, 2011
state champion Wyoming
Seminary, Holy Redeemer,
Wyoming Valley West,
Coughlin, Dallas, Lake-
Lehman well, nearly
everyone.
Being competitive is
the rst step into maybe
making Nanticoke a eld
hockey town as well.
We have the best con-
ference on the East Coast,
Dennis said. Being a for-
mer ofcial, Ive seen a lot
of good teams around the
state. These players know
that. You play your sched-
ule and you play as hard as
you can.
Around the WVC, could
there be a degree of par-
ity coming to the league?
The upper echelon of the
league remains some of the
elite programs in the coun-
try. There is a next level,
made up of quality teams
that are competitive, and
then the rest.
The early results say
more teams are com-
petitve, as there are eight
unbeaten teams in early
play, but only three win-
less squads and they
have been in position to
earn wins.
Teams not in the nation-
al picture are trying to
move themselves toward
the elite.
It is evening out more,
Wyoming Area coach
Lunda Comiskey said.
The club system is allow-
ing more players to play
all year long. Other teams
are rising toward the Sems
and Crestwoods. Scores
are a lot closer this year.
When you go outside of
district in scrimmages,
thats when you notice just
how strong our entire dis-
trict really is.
The WVC regular sea-
son is scheduled to end
Oct. 18.
Its not outrageous to
expect to see at least one
local team playing on Nov.
16. Well keep you posted.

Coachs outlook:
We lost a lot from last
year, even if it wasnt a
large number of play-
ers. Madysen and Caitlin
were the strength of our
offense. Losing Paige
and Haley on defense
is tough. but this group
has been stepping up and
trying to nd some cohe-
sion. Theyve been really
positive with each other
and have condence in
each other. They are get-
ting their game where
they need to have it.

back. We have also had a
lot of improvement over
the offseason from our
underclassmen. With a

Outlook: A year after

players from the 2012
squad. Seamens is in
position to take over the
netminding duties full-
time. The top-two offen-
sive threats are gone,
but Sherman and Kelder
should add to their totals
from last season. This
is another team that has
youth on the horizon, as
the junior high program
boasted great depth last

Key newcomers:

Coachs outlook: We
are very optimistic and
looking forward to the
start of the season. What
our record from last sea-
son doesnt show is that
six of our losses were by
one goal. This year, we
hope to turn those close
games to our favor. The
girls are working great
together and are excited
to begin. Our greatest
challenge this season
is low numbers due to
unexpected transfers and
an injury to sophomore
forward Lindsey Quinn.
Were added Mikayla
Hoskins, who will pro-
vide some experience in
the backeld, as well as
Erica Merth, who brings
energy in the mideld
and Samara McDaniels
to offer extra strength in
goal.

Coachs outlook: We
had a number of play-
ers involved in offseason
play with Futures, indoor
clubs and KSG. Also, in
the spring, we competed
in several tournaments.
During the course of the
spring and summer, we
concentrated on speed,
agility and quickness,
as well as ballhandling
skills. This group of
young athletes has a posi-
tive attitude, strong work
ethic and willingness to
learn. They have accepted
the physical and mental
challenge to improve our
overall level of play. This
is an exciting group of
dedicated young athletes.
We are looking forward
to an exciting and chal-
lenging season. We will
take one game at a time,
hoping to gain experience
and improve our perfor-
mance with each compe-
tition.

Payerl attracting attention at NHL camp
TOMVENESKY
[email protected]
Adam Payerl spent the
rst fewdays of Pittsburghs
training camp skating with
the likes of Evgeni Malkin
and James Neal. He scrim-
maged against stars such
as Sidney Crosby and Chris
Kunitz.
Most importantly, Payerl
took advantage of an oppor-
tunity he didnt have last
season and got noticed.
Throughout the rst
days of camp, Payerls
name has been mentioned
as one of the young players
who impressed. Last sea-
son he didnt have a chance
to impress the Pittsburgh
brass in an NHL training
camp after the lockout
wiped out the opportunity.
Payerl is glad to have that
chance this year.
During the lockout,
we had Pittsburgh man-
agement in Wilkes-Barre
watching us, but its
denitely different when
theyre seeing you prac-
tice and going head-to-
head with the NHL guys,
Payerl said. This is where
your opportunity is to
make a lasting impres-
sion. When youre playing
against these experienced
NHL guys, you want to
battle them in the corners
and show you can com-
pete.
Payerl, 22, is entering
his second pro season.
Last year he played in 44
games with Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton, posting three
goals and 10 points while
playing a power forward
style.
As the season wore on
and even into the playoffs,
Payerls game continued to
improve. In the postsea-
son he had two goals and
opened some eyes to the
point where may have a
shot at one of Pittsburghs
bottom six forward posi-
tions.
Whether that happens
out of training camp or
with a call-up later in the
season, Payerl is happy to
have opened some eyes.
Its an exciting feeling to
know that theyre watching
you, Payerl said.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
head coach John Hynes
said Payerls approach in
the early days of training
camp has been the right
one.
Its good to see the
younger prospects such as
Adam play a certain way
in the AHL, come here to
camp and theyre able to
transfer that, Hynes said.
Hes played to his iden-
tity.
Even if that identity is
one of a physical, punishing
player who is hard to play
against.
Payerl knows that he
has to tame the hard hits
a bit in training camp, but
it doesnt mean he has to
stray from his game.
At times you have to be
aware of who youre play-
ing against. You dont want
to be bearing down and
hit a big name player like
(Sidney) Crosby, Payerl
said. But you still try to be
physical and win your one-
on-one battles.
And what better place to
do it than in an NHL camp
against some of the top
players in the world.
Coming here, its sur-
real at rst, Payerl said.
The rst time youre star-
struck, but you have to put
that away really quickly and
focus on hockey.
Around the room
Last years Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton rookies
arent the only ones excit-
ed to once again have the
opportunity to come to an
NHL camp. Hynes is thank-
ful for the opportunity
again also.
The way they do it here
is exceptional. For coaches,
its always good to come
in and implement things
together as a group. As it
lters down it helps you
get off to a good start and
keeps everybody at all lev-
els of the organization on
the same page, he said.
NHL training camp
is not only a great way for
young players to establish
themselves on the ice, but
its also an opportunity to
make an impression else-
where. The big thing is
Dan Bylsma and his staff
get to work with these
guys, see them in meet-
ings and around the room,
Hynes said. Thats a great
chance to leave a positive
impression.
Veteran forward Chuck
Kobasew, who is in camp on
a tryout, brings an element
that the Penguins already
have plenty of: postseason
experience.
Kobasew was a member
of the 2004 Calgary Flames,
who came into the postsea-
son as the sixth seed in the
Western Conference and
made a run that culminated
in a Game 7 loss to Tampa
Bay in the Finals.
Being so close, it
stinks, he said. I dont
think you ever get over it
unless you win. That feel-
ing will never go away. It
was a grueling run and it
taught me a lot, but at the
end of the day if you dont
win it its tough.

Coachs outlook:
As a coaching staff, we
(DeFalco and assistant
Tracy Ragukas) have been
really focused on getting
better each and every day.
We have to be able to n-
ish and play solid defense
to win games this season.
Our challenge this year is
overcoming the abundance
of talent we lost to gradu-
ation.

season was our best ever in
the history of eld hockey
at Honesdale. We took a
District 2 silver medal in
the 2012 championship
game. The winning atti-
tude our graduated seniors
instilled in the program has
stuck. We have a talented,
young and fast group of
newcomers to continue the
competitiveness our school
has worked toward in the
last few years. We are tak-
ing each game as it comes
and have strength in our
exibility in strategy and
attack. We are aiming for a

Outlook: The junior high

the varsity program start-
ing this season, with a
handful of freshmen get-
ting a chance to contribute
right away. The team lost
its top scorer and a quality
goalkeeper, but has back
Lewandowski, who scored
six goals in an eight-game
stretch as a sophomore.

that I havent seen for some
time. Our numbers are up dras-
tically, but with increased new
players comes inexperience and
youth. The success of our team
will depend on how quickly our
inexperienced players develop
and adapt to the strength of this
conference.

Zultevicz, Jr/M.
Key newcomer: Olivia
Piestrak, Jr/G.
Outlook: After bringing back
almost everyone in 2012, this
years Rangers will feature a lot
of new faces starting with the
coaching staff. Magni and Weber
will be counted on to lead the
offense, as they combined for
25 goals and eight assists last
season. The defense has experi-
ence on the back line, and Olivia
Piestrak takes over in goal for the
Rangers. Piestrak has big shoes
to ll after the efforts of past net-
minders Alivia Womelsdorf and
Maria Begliomini.

all of our starters from last sea-
son but one, including 10 seniors
who have been our core on and
off the eld. We want to use the
experience we gained last season
and build upon that. More spe-
cically, weve been working on
picking up our tempo and nish-
ing each possession.

Maggie Sohns, So/M; Elissa
Stretch, Jr/M; Alissa Zamber,

Coachs outlook: Last season
was one of many rsts for all
of us. We have taken this past
year and learned a lot. I am very
proud of how far the girls have
come and the dedication they
have given to this sport. I am
hopeful for a successful season
this year. All the teams in our
division will be great competi-
tors. We will take it game-by-
game with hopes of improving
our record from last year. We are
denitely working on our offense
to make our overtimes more suc-
cessful with a win. We have a lot
of younger talent stepping up.
With the underclassmen show-
ing much promise, I feel we have
many girls who could see play-
ing time in the varsity game and
learning from these experiences
on the eld for the future.

tournament even with its youth.
heightened by offseason
drama over Manziel that
culminated with the sopho-
more getting suspended for
half of the opening game
after an NCAA investigation
into whether he was paid for
signing autographs.
Bama-A&M lived up to
the billing. But this SEC
heavyweight matchup was
no 9-6 Game of the Century.
The offenses were all but
unstoppable.
A&Ms defense was
leaky in its rst two games
against far weaker oppo-
nents. Against Alabama,
even with the return of four
key players from various
suspensions, it put up little
resistance. And while the
Tides offense wore out the
Aggies, its defense struck a
big blow.
Manziel threw deep down
the middle to Malcome
Kennedy, but Jarrick
Williams had tight coverage
for Alabama and tipped the
pass into the air. Sunseri
came down with it and was
off in the other direction,
stutter-stepping as Manziel
slid on by while trying for
a one-arm takedown. The
safety broke another tackle
on the way into the end zone
and Alabama was up 35-14.
Manziel walked slowly
across the eld to the A&M
sideline, taking a couple of
glances toward the end zone
and Alabamas celebration.
A crowd of 87,596 that
was booming like a jet
engine earlier fell silent.
They were hoping to see the
Aggies get their third vic-
tory against a No. 1 team,
and second straight against
Alabama.
Alabama was poised to go
up three touchdowns in the
fourth quarter when Texas
A&Ms defense slammed
into T.J. Yeldon a couple
of yards from the goal line,
causing a fumble the Aggies
recovered at the 5.
Two plays later, Manziel
found Mike Evans deep.
The big receiver broke away
from a tackler and went 95
yards for a score that made
it 42-35 with 8:04 left.
Manziel sprinted out of his
end zone toward the other
to celebrate. The crowd was
alive again.
Evans nished with 279
yards on seven catches.
In need of a time-con-
suming drive, leaned on
Yeldon and McCarron. On
third-and-goal from the 5,
McCarron faked the hand
off, rolled right and ipped
to Jalston Fowler for the
touchdown to make it 49-35
with 2:28 left.
Manziel threw one more
TD with 15 seconds left,
but Alabama grabbed the
onside kick and that was
that.
Nick Sabans defense had
given up 628 yards and 42
points, but the Tide had
won. And the Aggies found
out just how tough it is to
win two in a row against
the Tide. In seven seasons
under Saban, only LSU has
done it.
It looked promising early
for the Aggies. Manziel
and Evans hooked up three
times for long passes on
their rst two drives, set-
ting up two short touch-
downs that put A&M up
14-0 halfway through the
rst quarter. Saban and
defensive coordinator Kirby
Smart had all offseason to
gure out a way to stop
Manziel and the Aggies,
and were still ummoxed.
The answer would be
offense and McCarron
responded with a 22-yard
TD pass to Kevin Norwood,
a 44-yard score on a ea-
icker to DeAndrew White
and a 51-yarder in which
Kenny Bell did most of the
work after a short throw.

Jenny nearly perfect in win over Wilkes
The Times Leader staf
WILLIAMSPORT
Prior to Saturdays game
against Lycoming, Wilkes
coach Frank Sheptock
praised the play of Warriors
quarterback Tyler Jenny.
The junior signal caller
showed on Saturday why
the veteran coach had so
many good things to say.
Jenny went 20 of 21
for 305 yards and three
touchdown passes leading
Lycoming to a 34-18 vic-
tory over the Colonels in
the MAC opener for both
squads.
The game started off
good for Wilkes (1-1, 0-1
MAC) as the defense
forced its rst of four turn-
overs on Lycomings open-
ing drive when Jenny was
sacked and the fumble was
recovered by the Colonels.
That turned into a 27-yard
eld goal by Jordan Fredo
and a 3-0 lead with 10:16
left in the rst quarter.
But that was the last
the Colonels scored for
a while as the Warriors
(1-1, 1-0) scored the
next 34 points to open a
commanding lead. After
Jennys rst TD pass gave
Lycoming a 7-3 lead, Craig
Needhammer (130 rush-
ing yards) had a 1-yard
run in the second quar-
ter putting the Warriors
ahead 14-3 at halftime.
Jenny capped the
Warriors rst drive of
the second half with his
second TD strike. Wilkes
started to move the ball
on its next drive, going
78 yards before QB Tyler
Bernsten was picked off
by A.J. Arhontakis and
returned for a 91-yard
touchdown.
Jennys nal scoring
strike came later in the
third putting the game out
of reach.
Wilkes got its rst TD
of the game in the fourth
when Bernsten connected
with Ryan Casey for a
26-yard strike trimming
the decit to 34-10.
With the Warriors driv-
ing deep in Wilkes terri-
tory, the Colonels defense
came through in the fourth
when Jenny fumbled
again. This time Marcus
Leaf returned it 93 yards
for a Wilkes TD and a two-
point conversion to close
the games scoring.

Kiwis almost capsize in Cup loss to Oracle
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO Emirates
Team New Zealand nearly cap-
sized in Race 8 of the Americas
Cup, allowing defending champi-
on Oracle Team USA to sail away
to a 52-second victory Saturday
on windy San Francisco Bay.
In the most heart-stopping
moment of the regatta, the Kiwis
131-foot wing sail didnt pop
to the correct side, apparently
because of a lack of pressure in
the hydraulic system, as the crew
tried to tack on the American
boat to keep its slight lead.
The 72-foot catamaran began
to tip over, with its starboard hull
rising high into the air. The boat
appeared to come within a few
degrees of going over before the
crew got the wing to pop and the
boat splashed down.
Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill
did a great job of executing a
crash tack to get clear of the Kiwi
boat while it was hanging in the
air. Because the American boat
was coming in on favored star-
board tack, Team New Zealand
was penalized. The near-capsize
had already done in the Kiwis,
and slowing to clear the penalty
allowed Oracle to sail well ahead.
Had the boat capsized and been
seriously damaged it could have
been catastrophic for the Kiwis.
They have another boat, but it
was cannibalized for parts to
nish their current boat. Oracle
Team USA had another race-
ready boat in its shed on Pier 80.
It was just the second victory of
the series for the American syn-
dicate, which has now erased the
two-point penalty it was assessed
in the biggest cheating scandal
in the 162-year-history of the
Americas Cup.
Team New Zealand leads 6-0
and still needs three wins to take
the oldest trophy in international
sports to the Royal New Zealand
Yacht Squadron. Oracle Team
USA, owned by software billion-
aire Larry Ellison, needs to win
nine races to keep the Auld Mug.
Race 9 was abandoned just as
the boats turned onto the wind-
ward third leg with New Zealand
in the lead because the wind had
exceeded the 22.6-knot limit dur-
ing a ve-minute period.
Races 9 and 10 are scheduled
for Sunday.
With the wind pushing the
upper limit, race ofcials knew
it could be a wild day among the
whitecaps on the bay.
The Kiwis near-capsize was a
scary moment because this regat-
ta was marred by the death of
British double Olympic medalist
Andrew Bart Simpson on May
9 when Artemis Racing capsized
during a training run.
In October, Spithill was at the
helm of Oracle Team USAs rst
catamaran when it capsized on
a rough day on the bay. An ebb
tide swept the boat out past the
Golden Gate Bridge, destroying
the complex wing sail and cost-
ing the syndicate four months
of training time. That capsize
is among the many reasons why
Oracle has struggled against the
Kiwis this regatta.
If there is a capsize during
competition, the race will be
canceled so that both yachts
chase boats can aid in recovery
efforts. Those boats carry divers
and paramedics. The race crews
already wore crash helmets and
life vests. After Simpson was
trapped under Artemis smashed
boat, sailors began wearing body
armor, knives, emergency air sup-
plies, underwater locator devices
and self-lowering equipment.
After two demoralizing losses
Thursday, Oracle made several
changes to its cat to try to make
it perform better sailing upwind,
where the Kiwis were continu-
ally pulling away.
Spithill botched the start
Saturday with an overly aggres-
sive move and Team New
Zealand sprinted to a 3-second
lead at the rst mark. The lead
was also 3 seconds at the leeward
mark.
Team New Zealand held its
lead sailing into the wind toward
the Golden Gate Bridge, but
Oracle did a much better job on
the leg than it did in earlier races.
Oracle cut into the Kiwi lead and
the boats were separated by only
about 10 yards when Team New
Zealand almost went over.

Crows and
vultures avoid
roadkill list
For some reason there are cer-
tain species of wildlife that just
seem to avoid becoming roadkill.
During the summer, wood-
chucks and rabbits are frequent
victims along area roads.
As we head into fall, deer will
top the list, joined by the occa-
sional black bear.
Virtually all wild-
life are susceptible
to meeting their
end on a road.
With a few
exceptions.
I have never seen
a roadkilled crow
and I dont know
anyone who has hit
one. Still, I always
see crows along
roads, especially
the interstates, and
Ive even watched
them use the paved surfaces and
speeding cars to aid in getting a
meal.
I once watched a crow y over
Interstate 80 and drop a walnut
on the road right in front of me.
The tires of my car crushed the
shell, and as I glanced back in the
rear-view mirror I watched the
crowland on the road and quickly
consume exposed walnut.
Pretty clever.
Crows are also a common site
scavenging the edges of roads for
food scraps and even other road-
kill for an easy meal. Ive watched
them pick at a roadkilled deer, or
anything else, along the edge of
the interstate as cars and trucks
raced by merely inches away.
The crows held their ground
and kept eating.When a vehicle
did get too close, the birds quickly
ew back a few feet and waited
for it to pass.
Yet they never got hit.
Crows simply know how to get
out of the way of a speeding car,
even if it seems they push the lim-
its at times.
Another bird that seems to
have a knack for avoiding being
smacked by a car is the turkey
vulture.
Its surprising, considering
their penchant for consuming
roadkill. They arent very agile
either as they pump their power-
ful 30-inch wingspan just to lift off
the ground.
Still, turkey vultures rarely
become roadkill.
I had never seen one hit on the
road until this summer on a route
I frequently travel. When I passed
through in the morning I noticed
a roadkilled opossum partly
squished on the center line.
It made for perfect turkey vul-
ture bait.
Sure enough, as I drove by a
few hours later, two of the enor-
mous birds stood over the opos-
sum, using their broad wings
to lift off just as I rounded the
corner.
It wasnt until the next day
when I traveled the road again
that I saw another animal had
joined the opossum on the road.
It was a turkey vulture.
Apparently the bird let its guard
down for a second too long and
Filmon
bald eagle
comeback
Fromour wire services
Often times when we talk about wild-
life, we talk about it in a singular sense.
We say the cottontail rabbit, or the
white-tailed deer, as opposed to using
plural nouns that would accurately rep-
resent their numbers.
But when it comes to the bald eagle,
there was a time not so long ago in
Pennsylvania that the singular noun
nearly summed up the entire popula-
tion.
In 1983, when the Pennsylvania
Game Commission launched what
would become a seven-year program
to restore bald eagles, only three nests
remained statewide. Thats six adult
birds all of them located in Crawford
County, in the northwestern corner of
the state.
What a difference 30 years has made.
Today, bald eagles have become a
common sight throughout much of
Pennsylvania. So far this year, 268 nests
have been counted statewide. And the
Game Commission is considering a
proposal to remove bald eagles fromthe
states list of threatened species.
In celebration of the 30th anniversary
of those rst restoration efforts, the
Game Commission has produced a doc-
umentary on the bald eagles successful
comeback, and the lm is scheduled be
screened at several sites throughout the
state.
Pennsylvania Bald Eagles,
Celebrating 30 Years of Restoration
brings full circle the amazing story of
the bald eagle in the Commonwealth
following the species through its drastic
decline and successful reintroduction to
the present time, when the population
once again is thriving.
The documentary features com-
mentary from a host of experts. Game
Commission endangered bird biologist
Patti Barber, wildlife diversity section
chief Dan Brauning, and wildlife con-
servation ofcer Ronda Bimber talk
about the eagles past, present and
future.
Follow wildlife rehabilitators
Carol Holmgren, Sue DeArment and
Maryjane Angelo as the work to bring
back to health injured bald eagles one
of them a 25-year-old bird that as an
eaglet was plucked from a Canadian
nest and brought to Pennsylvania as
part of the Game Commissions seven-
year restoration program. And watch
as those birds are returned to the wild.
Running 22 minutes, the lm does
an amazing job of illustrating one of the
great success stories in wildlife-con-
servation history, Game Commission
executive director Carl G. Roe said.
The bald eagles recovery in
Pennsylvania has been nothing short
of remarkable, and this lm does an
incredible job of telling that story Roe
said. It celebrates a victory for wildlife
conservation and will leave residents
feeling proud to be Pennsylvanians.

What do these hawks and the mal-
lard duck have in common?
Theyre all getting ready to leave.
As the fall migration kicks into full
swing, albeit a little bit later for the
mallard, now would be a good time
to run a few photos of some our our
migrant birds that you may see pass-
ing by this fall.
The rst photo was sent in my Tina
Cromer of a broad-winged hawk she
photographed ying over Francis
Walter Dam in May. The best way to
identify a broad-winged hawk is by
the solid white band on the underside
of its tail. The forest-dwelling raptor
will likely migrate to South America
to spend the winter.
Tina also sent in another photo
of a pair of hawks perched in her
White Haven backyard. These were
a bit tough to identify because sharp-
shinned and Coopers hawks closely
resemble each other. After a bit of
scrutiny, we believe Tinas photo
shows a pair of immature Coopers
hawks. Why? Well, they were found
in a suburban area as opposed to the
heavily wooded habitat preferred by
the sharp-shinned, they have a round-
ed tail and the brown streaks are
concentrated on the chest. A sharp-
shinned has similar streaks, but they
usually extend down onto the belly.
We could be wrong, however, so feel
free to email your own evidence.
The next photo was sent in
by Barbara Wilson of Hanover
Township, and were certain this is
an adult sharp-shinned hawk because
of the slate gray head and orangish
horizontal bands on the chest. Notice
how the hawk carefully sat its talons
between the chain link fence.
Finally, Chris Banks of Dallas pho-
tographed this mallard duck over the
summer. Its a male, mainly because
of the green head and purplish chest.
The most common wild duck in the
United States, mallards have an
extended migration period that lasts
into early winter.

Bear complaints ready to peak
By tomVeneSKY

Wildlife Conservation
Ofcer Gerald Kapral wasnt
too concerned when he
received a call that a small bear
had wandered into a barrel-
style live trap he had set in a
mobile home park in Franklin
Township last week.
After all, Kapral gured the
bear would be a cub and he
would have to release it so it
could rejoin its mother.
But when Kapral arrived
on the scene, he encountered
something totally different
four bears in the trap.
I knew there was a sow
and three cubs in the area,
but I never expected to catch
them all at once, Kapral said.
I caught three cubs in a trap
once in Monroe County, but
catching four was a rst for
me.
But not a rst for the north-
east region this year. Another
Luzerne County WCO, Phil
White, also captured three
cubs and a sow in a trap earlier
this summer. Biologist Kevin
Wenner said such catches are
unusual, but not unheard of,
considering Pennsylvanias
healthy bear population.
When it happens, generally
the cubs get in there and dont
set off the trap, Wenner said.
The larger sow then goes in
to see what her cubs are doing,
and shell set it off.
Kaprals bears were pro-
cessed and tagged at the PGC
Northeast Region headquar-
ters in Dallas before they were
released on State Game Lands
187 in Dennison Township
an area he hopes is far enough
away to prevent them from
returning to the mobile home
park where they generated
complaints from residents.
White, whose district also
includes Luzerne County, also
produced a four-bear catch
in a trap he set in Pittston
Township at the end of July.
Whites bears a sow and
three cubs, werent tagged,
indicating they had never been
trapped by the agency before.
You look in the trap and
see all these bears in there and
wonder how it can happen,
White said. But they were all
calm.
White tranquilized the
bears, tagged them and
released them in another area
in an effort to remediate the
complaints generated by bru-
ins in Pittston Township.
Still, Kapral doesnt expect
the number of bear complaints
overall to subside.
Its been non-stop since
the bears came out of hiber-
nation, he said. Ive been
getting 5-10 bear complaints
a week, and theyre coming
from places like Trucksville,
Shavertown, Dallas and
Kingston Township.
Even with a 2012 bear har-
vest of 3,632, which followed
2011s record take of 4,350,
complaints havent subsided,
Kapral said. And the fact that
more are being generated from
suburban areas is a bit alarm-
ing.
Complaints from residen-
tial areas arent a good thing,
Kapral said. Its mostly bears
going after garbage and bird
feeders, and a decent number
of complaints are generated
simply by people who see a
bear in the neighborhood.
White said the bear popula-
tion in his district is growing
rapidly. As an example, he
referred to a den not far from
where he trapped the bears
in Pittston Township. Over
the winter, PGC biologists
inspected the den and found
a sow and three cubs inside.
All four bears were tagged,
evidence that the four White
trapped in July were a differ-
ent group.
Thats at least eight bears
right in this area. It surprises
me and we have our hands
full, he said. I had traps set
throughout my district all
summer long and Im still get-
ting complaints.
The social carrying capac-
ity for this area is exceeded.
How much can you expect
people to tolerate?
Bill Williams, the PGCs
Northeast Region informa-
tion and education supervisor,
said bear complaints are up
slightly over last year and the
peak time of year for problems
hasnt yet occurred.
Were close, but we usually
dont hit that peak until we get
into the fall, Williams said.
The complaints are primar-
ily food-driven, although some
people just call whenever they
see a bear.
This year in the Northeast
Region, WCOs have trapped
155 bears as of Sept. 10. Some
of those captures include bears
caught for data collection pur-
poses (age and weight), but
many are the result of com-
plaints. Most of those bears
are relocated to remote areas,
Submitted photo
WCo gerald Kapral with the sow and three cubs he caught in one trap last week in Franklin township. the four bears were tagged and released on State
game Lands 187.
The Pennsylvania Game
Commission divides bear calls
into two categories: nuisance
and damage. Nuisance
calls typically involve a bear
getting into garbage cans or
bird feeders, while damage
includes property or livestock.
The following is a breakdown
of bear calls the PGC recieved
in the Northeast Region this
year (as of Sept. 10):
Nuisance calls - 1,190
Damage calls - 89 (including
eight for poultry and three for
other livestock)

Lester pitches Red
Sox past Yankees
BOSTON Brett
Gardner became the lat-
est Yankee forced to the
sidelines by injury, and the
timing couldnt have been
worse.
The Yankees might have
lost their catalyst leadoff
hitter and center elder for
the remainder of the regu-
lar season due to a Grade 1
left oblique strain suffered
Thursday at Baltimore.
Hes going to be out a
whileits not like its just
a few days, manager Joe
Girardi said on Friday,
before the Yankees opened
another pivotal series
against the Red Sox. Is
it possible (he) could be
(out) the rest of the year?
Yeah.
Girardi installed Curtis
Granderson into the leadoff
spot and in center eld.
But there was some sliver
of hope that Gardner could
contribute to the Yanks
manic playoff run.
Depending on how
quickly he heals, Gardner
would probably be avail-
able to us as a pinch-run-
ner before anything else,
Girardi said. Well see how
he feels every day, basically,
and if it bothers him to run.
Girardi anticipates that
Gardner would be healthy
enough to resume an every-
day role if the Yanks make
the postseason. That would
be a reversal from last sea-
son, when Gardner played
just 16 regular season
games due to right elbow
surgery but was available in
postseason going 0-for-8
in limited duty.
An MRI taken Friday
in New York revealed that
the lefty-hitting outelder
suffered the oblique strain
as he attempted to check
his swing Thursday in the
Yankees eventual 6-5 vic-
tory against the Orioles.
After the game, Gardner
wasnt sure what to expect
since hed never previously
suffered a rib cage strain.
However, it felt seri-
ous enough for me to say
something and come out
of the game, Gardner said.
I know somethings not
right. I felt like if I went out
there, it was just going to
get worse and I was going
to hurt the team, because
I wasnt anywhere close to
100 percent.
Gardner is the 19th
player to be sidelined on a
Yankees club that has used
a franchise season record
55 players this year.
Until this week, Gardner,
30, was nally enjoying a
rare injury-free season, bat-
ting .273 with eight hom-
ers, 33 doubles, 10 triples,
52 RBI and 24 stolen bases
in 32 attempts.
A wrist injury that ham-
pered Gardner for much
of the second half in 2010
resulted in offseason sur-
gery. In 2009, Gardner frac-
tured his left thumb and
missed over a month.
(Hes) a big loss,
Girardi said of Gardner.
Weve had to overcome a
lot during the course of this
year, and were going to
continue to have to do that.
People are going to have to
step up in his absence.
That primarily falls on
Granderson, who suffered
separate wrist and hand
fractures earlier this year
limiting him to just 46
games and creating havoc
in his free-agent walk year.
But Granderson can eas-
ily look past his truncated
season to appreciate what
lies before him and the club
now.
Were in the thick of
things. We have a chance
to get to the playoffs and
its been fun. Its been
unscripted to a tee, said
Granderson, who hit what
proved to be a big solo
home run after replac-
ing Gardner on Thursday
night at Camden Yards.
Anything you can think of
that can happen has hap-
pened.
Gardners strong defen-
sive presence caused
Granderson to switch to left
eld this season, and the
trade for Alfonso Soriano
increased Grandersons
time at designated hitter
due to Sorianos dislike of
the DH spot.
Being moved around
hasnt mattered too much
to me, said Granderson.
But Friday was just his
second start at leadoff this
season.
Just be aggressive,
Granderson said. Thats
kind of been my approach-
be ready to attack.

Reds over Brewers
The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE Joey
Votto and Shin-Soo Choo
each hit two-run homers, and
the Cincinnati Reds kept pace
in the NL Central race with
a 7-3 win Saturday over the
Milwaukee Brewers.
Homer Bailey (11-10)
allowed three runs over seven
innings in winning his career-
best sixth straight decision.
Votto had three RBIs, includ-
ing the towering drive off the
right eldfoul pole inthe sixth.
The Brewers loaded the
bases with two outs in the
eighth trailing by four, but All-
Star closer Aroldis Chapman
struck out pinch-hitter
Jonathan Lucroy.
Chapman tossed a score-
less ninth to nish off his 36th
save.
The Reds jumped on starter
Johnny Hellweg (1-4) with
four runs over the rst two
innings.
Chapman stopped a rally
in the eighth to give manager
Dusty Bakers club just the
spark it needed after having
lost three of the previous four.
With two men on, Jeff
Bianchi drew a 3-2 walk off
reliever Sam LeCure to load
the bases for Lucroy.
Baker responded by bring-
ing in Chapman early in the
eighth.
Lucroy swung at a 100
mph heater in the dirt. The
ball skipped past the plate
and bounced off the back-
stop, though catcher Devin
Mesoraco retrieved it in time
to throwout Lucroy at rst.
Chapman walked two with
one out in the ninth, but struck
out the last two batters to end
the game.
Carlos Gomez had two hits
and an RBI for the Brewers,
while Jean Segura stole his
NL-leading 43rd base of the
season.
They got outmuscled by
Choo and Votto at the plate.
Choo reached on a walk
with one out in the sixth. One
out later, Votto turned on a
fastball from reliever Michael
Blazek for his 23rd homer and
a 6-3 lead.
Bailey allowed ve hits,
with the Brewers causing all
their damage in the fourth.
Khris Davis doubled home
Scooter Gennett.
Marlins 3, Mets 0, 1st game
NEW YORK Donovan
Solano got some payback after
he was hit by two pitches,
launching a home runandmak-
ing two terric defensive plays
that sent Henderson Alvarez
andMiami past the Mets inthe
opener of a doubleheader.
Logan Morrison drove in
two runs, one on a line drive
off the right wrist of Frank
Francisco that knocked the
oft-injured reliever out of the
game. Alvarez (4-4) pitched
four-hit ball over seven innings
for his second win against the
Mets this year.
NewYorkdroppedto3-10in
September and 6-11 this sea-
son against the Marlins, who
have the NLs worst record at
55-92. Alvarez struck out ve
and walked none to help the
Marlins win.
Chad Qualls worked a per-
fect eighth and Steve Cishek
struck out three for his 30th
save in 32 attempts.
JacobTurner was set tostart
the nightcap for Miami against
winless Daisuke Matsuzaka.
Carlos Torres (3-5) hit
Solano with pitches in his rst
two plate appearances, the
rst one near his wrist and the
next time on the left shoulder.
Solano looked pretty irritated
by the second one, but catcher
Travis dArnaud and plate
umpire Tim Welke quickly
stepped in front of him and
there was no trouble.
Solano exacted the best
sort of revenge with a lead-
off homer against Torres in
the sixth to make it 2-0. The
second baseman also robbed
Omar Quintanilla twice, mak-
ing a diving play to thwart a
fth-inning rally and a sliding
stop to save a run in the sev-
enth.
The traditional doublehead-
er was scheduled to make up
a June 7 rainout. With both
teams fading at the bottom of
the NL East, it promised to be
a long day for both players and
the hearty fans who showedup
on a pleasant late afternoon.
Alvarez appeared to forget
how many outs there were in
the second, when he tossed
casually to rst on a one-out
comebacker with runners at
rst and second.
Torres plunked Solano
to start the fourth and then
walked Christian Yelich. With
two outs, Morrison sted a
bloop single into shallow left-
center for Miamis rst hit and
a 1-0 lead.
Athletics 1, Rangers 0
ARLINGTON, Texas
Bartolo Colon scattered
seven hits over eight impres-
sive innings for the AL West-
leading Oakland Athletics,
who stretched their division
lead over Texas to 5games.
The As won for the sev-
enth time in eight games, and
clinched the key division series
by beating Texas twice in less
than 24 hours.
Colon (16-6) struck out
seven and lowered what is
already his career-best ERA
to 2.73. The 40-year-old right-
hander became the rst to
reach 20 victories against
Texas, his most wins in his
career against any team
and the most by any pitcher
against Texas breaking
what had been a tie with Bert
Blyleven, Dennis Leonard and
Jack Morris.
YuDarvish(12-9) struckout
10 over seven innings in his
fourth 1-0 loss of the season.
The right-hander from Japan
has lost his last four starts, the
last two by 1-0 scores, and is
winless his last six.
Josh Donaldson drew a
one-out walk and scored on
a two-out double by Brandon
Moss into the right eld cor-
ner. Donaldson was able to get
around catcher Geovany Soto
when second baseman Ian
Kinslers relay throw was a bit
up the line.
Colon walked one before
Grant Balfour worked the
ninth for his 38th save in 40
chances.
Texas has lost all ve games
on this homestand, and is 2-10
in September.
Blue Jays 4, Orioles 3
TORONTO Colby
Rasmus hit a two-run home
run, Jeremy Jefress won for
the rst time in more than two
years and Toronto dealt the
slumping Orioles their fth
loss in seven games.
Baltimore, which came in
2 games behind Tampa Bay
in the race for the second AL
wild-card berth, failed to take
advantage of the rival New
York Yankees loss at Boston
earlier in the day.
Rasmus erased Baltimores
3-2 lead with a drive off the
facing of the second deck
against Chris Tillman in the
seventh inning.
Rasmus was activated off
the 15-day disabled list before
Fridays game, hitting a solo
homer off Jason Hammel in
Baltimores 5-3 win.
Baltimore left eight run-
ners stranded, four of themat
third base.
Orioles slugger Chris
Davis, nished 1 for 4 with a
double.

where the PGC hopes
they wont return and
become a problem again
in residential areas.
But if they do, another
trap will be set.
While trapping and relo-
cating is somewhat suc-
cessful, Kapral believes
more needs to be done as
the number of bear com-
plaints from residential
areas rises.
I think we need to
expand the early archery
season especially when
they get into these resi-
dential areas that are hard
to hunt, Kapral said. We
have to do something
because the complaints
arent going away.
Currently, the archery
bear season runs from
Nov. 18-22 statewide, but
in parts of the southeast,
the season runs from
Sept. 21 to Nov. 16.
White agrees that an
expanded archery season
may be a solution to the
rising number of bears
and complaints in sub-
urban areas.
The only way to con-
trol the numbers is man-
agement through hunt-
ing, he said. The big-
gest benefit of archery is
the reduced safety zone,
so that would be a good
start.
While its illegal to
intentionally feed bears or
put food out that causes
them to habituate to peo-
ple, Williams said a few
of those instances occur
each year as well.
One occurrence that
is fairly common when
it comes to generating
calls is a bear in a tree.
Williams said when a bear
wanders into a populated
area and attracts atten-
tion, it will likely climb up
a tree as crowds gather to
catch a glimpse.
The course of action for
these instances, he said,
is to disperse the crowd
and wait the bear out.
Typically it will come
down and move on when it
feels comfortable, he said.

Poacher receives jail time
From our wire services
A New Jersey man was recently
received a prison sentence of 8 to 18
months for poaching multiple deer
in Wayne County. Mark Nicholas
Jarema, 38, Leesburg, N.J., was
sentenced by Judge Raymond
Hammel at a hearing held on Aug.
22 in Honesdale. Jarema already
was serving time in the Wayne
County Correctional Facility after
pleading guilty to multiple game
violations earlier this year.
Game and Wildlife Code viola-
tions included two counts of the
unlawful killing or taking of big
game and one count of possession
of loaded rearms in a motor vehi-
cle. In addition, Jarema pled guilty
to one criminal count of simple
assault. Jarema was ordered to pay
$4,100 in nes, all costs of pros-
ecution, and faces loss of hunting
Pennsylvania license privileges for
ve years. He will be transported to
New Jersey Mid-State Correctional
Facility, Wrightsville, N.J., to con-
tinue serving a sentence on unre-
lated charges prior to his imprison-
ment in Pennsylvania.
The charges against Jarema
stemmed from a deer-killing spree
that occurred between the evening
of Oct. 23 and the early morning
of Oct. 24, 2010, in multiple town-
ships of Wayne County. Wayne
County Wildlife Conservation
Officer Frank Dooley received
information from New Jersey Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Officer
Ann Paul concerning Jarema and
his involvement in the killing of
multiple deer in Pennsylvania.
An ensuing investigation found
Jarema was at a Waymart area
residence on the evening of Oct.
23. While Jarema and a female
acquaintance were returning to
her residence, Jarema got a 30.06
caliber rifle from the back seat
and, for the next several hours,
Jarema shot at deer as he forced
the woman at gunpoint to hold a
spotlight. WCO Dooleys inves-
tigation revealed Jarema repeat-
edly shot the high-powered rifle
at deer with complete disregard
for the safety of nearby homeown-
ers. Multiple deer were killed or
injured in the shooting spree.
He kept a terried woman at
gunpoint while shooting at deer
that were yards away from homes
and in the line of the residences,
said Dooley. This lengthy inves-
tigation involved a great deal of
interagency cooperation and solid
police work to bring this criminal
to justice. His incarceration imme-
diately made Pennsylvania and
New Jersey safer.

Roe said the lm was
received warmly at its rst
public screening during
a recent Board of Game
Commissioners meeting.
So many of those who
were there and saw the lm
remarked on how moving
they found it, he said.
People have an inde-
scribable connection with
bald eagles, and to see the
bald eagles tale of triumph
laid out in this manner sim-
ply is a thing of beauty,
Roe said.

Proposal to delist
The Pennsylvania Game
Commissions Bureau of
Wildlife Management plans
later this month to make a
recommendation for of-
cials to remove the bald
eagle from the states list of
threatened species.
At a recent Pennsylvania
Board of Game
Commissioners workshop,
Game Commission biolo-
gist Doug Gross advised
the board a proposal to
upgrade the bald eagles
status from threatened
to protected would
be made formally at the
boards next meeting, to
be held Sept. 23 and 24 in
Delmont.
Under the existing pro-
cedures, an endangered or
threatened species cannot
be removed from or added
to the states list without
two sessions for public com-
ment and two votes by the
board.
From page 11C
Eagles
focused more on consum-
ing the opossum than it did
on an oncoming vehicle.
And I wouldnt rule out
the possibility of someone
intentionally speeding up
to run the bird over either.
For whatever reason, such
idiotic acts do occur.
No matter the cause, this
particular vulture was the
rst one I had ever seen hit
on the road.
Unlike crows and turkey
vultures, most other spe-
cies arent that lucky when
it comes to risking their
lives on a road.
Pennsylvania frequently
leads the country in vehicle-
deer collisions. According
to State Farm Insurance
Company, Pennsylvania
led the nation in vehicle-
deer collisions from July 1,
2011 to June 30, 2012 with
115,571. Nationwide, the
gure was more than 1.2
million deer hit by vehicles
during the same time span.
Even bears arent exempt
from the danger of cross-
ing a road. This year, in
the northeast region alone,
the Pennsylvania Game
Commission reports 72
bears have been killed
on roads as of Sept. 10.
Ive seen several along
Interstate 81.
From page 11C
Roadkill
Yet when it comes to
crows and turkey vultures,
Ive only ever seen one hit on
the road. For some reason,
when it comes to playing
chicken its better to have
wings than hooves or paws.
NASCARtries
to re-establish
its credibility
JENNA FRYER
APAuto Racing Writer
JOLIET, Ill. Facing the
biggest credibility crisis in
its long history, NASCAR
issued a stern warning to its
drivers and teams Saturday
and said it wont tolerate any
more attempts to alter the
outcome of races.
After a scandal-lled week
spent investigating teams
and undoing attempts to
manipulate its champion-
ship eld, NASCAR came
forward with a series of
rules that will change the
way teams have called races
for years.
NASCAR Chairman
Brian France told teams he
expects them to give 100
percent at all times, meet-
ing with them for nearly
20 minutes at Chicagoland
Speedway on the eve of the
opening race of the Chase
for the Sprint Cup champi-
onship.
The warning came after
an unprecedented week for
NASCAR, which has been
rocked by allegations of race-
xing since Clint Bowyer
spun his car with seven laps
remaining last Saturday
night at Richmond, the race
that completed the 12-driver
eld for the Chase.
NASCAR was forced to
investigate when it became
clear that Bowyer spun in an
attempt to stop leader Ryan
Newman from winning
and give teammate Martin
Truex Jr. one last chance to
earn a Chase berth.
The investigation uncov-
ered at least three instances
of race manipulations and
led to severe sanctions
against Michael Waltrip
Racing and the removal of
unwitting participant Truex
from the Chase in favor of
Newman.
The central piece of evi-
dence was radio communi-
cations, and the penalties
against MWR set off a chain
of events NASCAR never
anticipated.
Next came allegations
of a scheme to sell track
position, and it triggered
a new investigation involv-
ing deep-pocketed Penske
Racing and tiny Front Row
Motorsports.
It culminated Friday with
Frances stunning decision
to expand the Chase eld to
13 drivers to accommodate
Jeff Gordon, who had been
bumped out of the Chase
by the shenanigans of three
drivers.
Gordon was pleased with
the ruling but uncomfort-
able with the way the week
developed.
Furyk continues drive to front at BMW
The Associated Press
LAKEFOREST, Ill. JimFuryk
recovered from a sluggish start
with three birdies in a ve-hole
stretch around the turn Saturday
in the third round of the BMW
Championship.
A three-putt bogey from 30 feet
on the par-5 18th forced him to set-
tle for a 2-under 69 and a one-shot
lead over Steve Stricker
It was a far different nish from
Friday, when Furyk hit a wedge to 3
feet for birdie on his nal hole (No.
9) for a 12-under 59, becoming
only the sixth player in PGA Tour
history to hit golfs magic number.
No one expected another round
like that from him though Matt
Kuchar had a 61 in the morning
when conditions were calm
with rm fairways, fast greens and
increasing wind. Furyk did enough
to give himself another chance to
end three years without a victory.
But his work is far from over.
He was at 13-under 200 and will
be paired in the nal group with
longtime friend Stricker, who holed
out for eagle from the 15th fairway
and had a 64.
Brandt Snedeker, tied with Furyk
to start the third round, got up-and-
down from behind the 18th green
for birdie to get back to even-par 71
for the day and remain in the hunt
just two shots behind.
And very much in the picture
was Tiger Woods, who was four
shots back.
Even after watching video evi-
dence, Woods still doesnt think
he deserved a two-shot penalty at
the end of his second round when
his ball moved ever so slightly
behind the rst green. Video from
a camera man hired by PGA Tour
Entertainment showed the golf ball
dip down as Woods was removing
a twig before playing a shot from
the trees.
Woods argued that it only oscil-
lated, returning to its original posi-
tion. The chief rules ofcial at the
PGA Tour determined otherwise.
As I said, from my vantage
point, I thought it just oscillated
and that was it, Woods said
Saturday after shooting a 5-under
66 at Conway Farms. They
replayed it again and again and
again. And I felt the same way.
LPGA Tour
EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France
With teen amateur Lydia Ko
of New Zealand in pursuit, Mika
Miyazato of Japan held a one-
stroke lead after two rounds at the
Evian Championship.
Miyazato shot a 2-under 69 and
was at 8 under with a round to go
in the fth and last womens major
of the year.
The four-round tournament was
cut to 54 holes after rain left the
greens soggy. The course dried out
somewhat but more showers are
forecast for Sundays nal round.
Ko, who is only 16, had four bird-
ies in an error-free 67.
Miyazato, whose day started
with bogeys on the rst two holes,
is looking for her rst U.S. LPGA
title this year. Suzann Pettersen of
Norway bogeyed her two holes on

People looking for work or
a career change can check
out whats available at The
Times Leader Fall Career
Fair this week.
More than 20 local busi-
nesses and agencies will
have booths at the event
that runs from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. Tuesday at the 109th
Armory in Wilkes-Barre.
Among those signed up
at Allied Services, Fanelli
Brothers Trucking, Liberty
Tax Service, Sallie Mae,
TMG Health and the
Luzerne/Wyoming Counites
Mature Worker Program.
The 18th fair is expected
to draw a range of job seek-
ers, from recent graduates
to people whove been in the
workforce for years.
TMG Health has between
80 and 85 openings to ll.
The company provides busi-
ness process outsourcing
for government-sponsored
health plans.
We just celebrated our
one year anniversary in our
national operations cen-
ter, said Dan Gavin, man-
ager of talent acquisitions.
A recent AARP report about the
caregiving shortage that aging baby
boomers will face should be a wake-
up call to talk about this critical
issue.
It can no longer be put off.
The pool of family
and friends available
to care for baby boom-
ers as they age into
their 80s will be less
than half as deep as
it is today, according
to the report released
late in August by the
AARP Public Policy
Institute.
AARP experts pre-
dict the ratio of poten-
tial family caregivers
to elders needing care will plummet
between now and 2050. It projects
the ratio will drop from todays seven
caregivers for each person over age
80 to fewer than three caregivers per
elderly person in 2050.
Its important to note just how
important family caregivers are,
said Donald Redfoot, co-author of
the report and a senior strategic
policy adviser at the AARP Public
Policy Institute. Weve been relying
on them not only to provide person-
al care services helping people
get through the normal activities of
daily living but also for a lot of
health care services that we think of
as skilled nursing.
Right now, were in a demograph-
ic sweet spot in terms of the num-
ber of available caregivers, because
boomers have aged into their prime
caregiving years, he said. But that
will change dramatically.
A key reason is that boomers
nationwide have fewer children and
other family members to rely on.
Just simply because of fertility
rates over time, the boomers have
fewer kids whom they will be able to
rely on, Redfoot said. Moreover,
weve seen divorce rates higher
among boomers than in their par-
ents age group.
The AARP report put it best:
The most important predictor of
having someone to count on when
an individual needs help in long-
term services and supports is being
married, because spouses and adult
children most often arrange, coor-
dinate and provide care and social
support.
Kay Paggi, a Dallas geriatric care
manager, said shes already seeing
the dynamic play out as the children
of boomers grow up, get jobs and
move around the country.
You cant move Mom every time
you change jobs, she said.
So what do we do about all this?
The time is really now to have a
national conversation on long-term
care, said Lynn Feinberg, AARP
senior policy analyst and report
co-author. We really cant put this
off any longer, because beginning
in about 13 years, the oldest baby
boomers will turn age 80, and the
need will be great.
First, she said, what we need to
do is to create a nancing system
for long-term care that works, that
builds an accessible and affordable
home- and community-based service
system.
What that means is to have bet-
ter options so that frail, older people
can stay at home with or nearby
their families, friends, and stay in
the community, rather than go to a
nursing home, which nobody wants.
The future of caregiving may
consist of an extended network
of friends caring for one another.
Were going to see a whole differ-
ent future in terms of care arrange-
ments, Feinberg said. There may
be Golden Girl apartments. There
might be also Golden Men apart-
ments.
Lets not forget respite care for
those who need a break from giv-
ing 24-hour care, particularly those
looking after a loved one with

SECTION D
TIM LOGAN
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
If this economic recovery feels
part-time and temporary, it could
be because so many of the jobs it
is creating are part-time and tem-
porary.
Part-time employment has
surged in recent months, highlight-
ing both the tentative nature of this
long, slow economic recovery and
the changing dynamics of work.
Through July, according to Labor
Department statistics, the number
of people working part-time in the
U.S. grew four-and-a-half times
as fast as the number of full-time
workers. And the share of all work-
ers who mainly hold part-time jobs
is at levels not seen since the early
1980s.
Several reasons account for this
trend, economists say, from tech-
nological change to shifting demo-
graphics, from economic unease to
the onset of the Affordable Care
Act. Some Americans are happily
part-timing it, for a little extra
money in semi-retirement or in
school. Others work part-time
because the only alternative is no
work at all.
In August, the Labor
Department says, there were 7.9
million Americans working part-
time involuntarily, almost twice as
many as were in 2006. Four-plus
years since the Great Recession
technically ended, those numbers
havent changed much, and people
who watch the labor market say
they have no idea when they will.
This is a really peculiar inci-
dent, said David Wiczer, an econ-
omist at the Federal Reserve Bank
of St. Louis. (The share of part-
time workers) always comes up in
the aftermath of a recession, but
it usually starts to fall again. This
time it hasnt fallen.
Indeed, as the economy cra-
tered in late 2008 and early 2009,
the share of workers who are only
employed part-time, which the gov-
ernment defines as 35 hours a week
or less, shot up, hitting 20 percent
in January 2010. Since then it has
ticked down a bit, but just a bit. In
July, that figure was 19.6 percent.
This in a period when the economy
has added nearly 6 million jobs.
Part-time work has particularly
picked up lately. From January
through July, the number of work-
ing Americans grew by 960,000,
according to Labor Department
surveys. The number of those who
have full-time jobs is up 172,000.
The ranks of part-time workers? Up
766,000.
Many of the industries with the
fastest job growth this year are
ones that tend to hire a lot of part-
timers. And lately, some of those
workers have been pushing for a
better deal.
In August, fast-food workers
walked off the job as part of nation-
wide protests. While higher wages
are the centerpiece of their cam-
paign, many workers walking the
picket lines complain about incon-
sistent and unpredictable hours,
too.
Since January, Lillian
40-hour work week
a thing of the past?

Protesters gather outside the Wendys restaurant in Rock Hill, Missouri. Organizers of the protests are demanding to two things: a
minimum wage increase from $7.35 per hour to $15 per hour and the right to organize labor unions. As the economy slowly recovers,
many workers are forced to take part-time jobs such as the ones at fast-food restaurants.
Time is now
to discuss care

Companies going with

Manufacturers

gumagain
ROBERT CHANNICK
Chicago Tribune
Who wants gum? was a ques-
tion asked in countless Trident
commercials over the years. Now
stuck in a multiyear sales slide,
gum manufacturers are asking
themselves the same thing.
With teenagers, the core chew-
ing constituency, increasingly
bypassing the gum aisle, Chicago-
based Wrigley recently launched
a new ad campaign for its Extra
brand reaching for broader appeal
and perhaps a few tears.
Eschewing functional benefits
fresh breath, dental hygiene
and weight loss the evocative
television spots represent a dra-
matic departure from the pack. In
a series of scenes, a father shares
Extra gum with his daughter as
she grows up, making origami
cranes out of the wrappers. While
theyre packing her up to leave the
nest for college, a box of origami
cranes spills out of her car, a poi-
gnant moment reflecting a bond
that goes far beyond gum.
This really hits on the emotion-
al reasons that people chew gum,
said Anne Marie Splitstone, senior
gum category director at Wrigley.
Im trying to get everyone whos
interested in gum to remember
this consumer truth about liking
to share gum, and the little simple
pleasures of doing so.
The theme of the campaign,
sometimes the little things last
the longest, is an evolution of
Extras traditional positioning
of long-lasting flavor, and a new
direction for gum advertising,
where quirky, cutting-edge and
comedic messages abound. While
it remains to be seen if the new
campaign will be successful, ana-
lysts believe the gum category will
have to increase ad spending, raise
its profile and reposition itself to
energize stagnant demand. Gum
sales have steadily declined since
2010, driven by a confusing pro-
liferation of brands, lofty price
points and a lack of pocket change
among target consumers teen-
agers, who have been especially
hard-hit by the recession.
The unemployment rate has
been high; consumers tend to
chew gum while theyre working,
said Morningstar analyst Erin
Lash. And the unemployment
rate is even higher among teens,
who tend to be heavy users of
gum.
The downturn hits close to
home in Chicago, the unofficial
gum capital of the world with
Wrigley and Mondelez the top
two manufacturers both based
in the area. Together, they repre-
sent about 90 percent of total U.S.
gum sales, which last year totaled
$3.38 billion, according to IRI, a
Chicago-based market research
firm.
Credit Suisse analyst Robert
Moskow said the chewing gum
category has suffered from a lack
of management and investment
since Mars took over Wrigley
and Mondelez took over Cadbury.
These are two very big confec-
tionary companies, and it makes
all the sense in the world that they
would have some synergies with
chewing gum, but chewing gum is
a very different kind of category,
Moskow said. Something got lost
in the translation as they tried to
integrate chewing gum.
U.S. gum sales are down more

Cunningham has been
riding the bus an hour
each way from her home
south of downtown
St. Louis to work at a
Wendys in Ballwin, Mo.
Her job pays $7.40 an
hour. Most weeks, she
gets 25 to 30 hours
spread over five days
not enough for benefits
and its not unusual,
Cunningham said, to
be sent home early, or
even to show up and be
told shes not needed.
Sometimes they call.
Sometimes they wait
until I get there and
they say, Weve got
enough people, said
Cunningham, a mother
of two. Itd be nice to
have the same schedule
all the time.
Cunningham said she
likes her job and the
people she meets, but
when the mother of two
heard about the fast-food
strikes rippling across
St. Louis this summer,
she joined in.
Better pay. More
hours. Benefits. She
needs something more
from her work.
When I get paid,
every cent goes to rent
and food, she said.
Theres never any-
thing left over.
Others, though, are
part-time by choice.
They like the money, but
also the flexibility that
can come with a shorter
schedule.
Older workers, in par-
ticular, are staying in the
workforce longer, just
not in a 40-hour-a-week
role and their large
numbers are helping
to add to the part-time
rolls, Wiczer said.
Theres this demo-
graphic bulge right now
thats moving towards
more part-time employ-
ment, he said. In 10
years, thats not going to
be the case.
By then, perhaps, it
will be clearer what role
bigger economic shifts
are playing in all of this.
Many of the jobs that
have been slower to grow
back since the recession
are ones that tradition-
ally offered a 40-hour
week at average wages:
manufacturing, construc-
tion, clerical office work.
If technology and global-
ization mean those sort
of jobs never return to
the United States, its not
clear what will replace
them.
This is not a new thing,
Wiczer said.
Really, since the
1970s a lot of job growth
has been either in low-
end occupations or
high-end occupations,
he said. And lower-end
occupations often have
more part-time work.
What is new is the
Affordable Care Act,
which mandates that
large employers pro-
vide health insurance to
employees who work 30
or more hours per week.
This has some compa-
nies particularly in
the restaurant and retail
industries warning
that theyll be forced
to respond by cutting
hours, resulting yet more
part-time workers.
Andy Puzder, chief
executive of CKE
Restaurants, the parent
company of St. Louis-
based burger chain
Hardees, told the Wall
Street Journal earlier this
summer that the man-
dates will likely change
the way his industry
manages staffing needs.
Everybody is hiring
more part-time employ-
ees, he told the Journal.
Through attrition, three
full-time employees go
away, and you hire four
part-time employees who
basically have the same
hours.
But economists say
that wont make much
difference in the long
run.
In a recent paper,
two researchers at the
Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco estimated
that Obamacare might
boost the ranks of part-
time workers by 1 or 2
percentage points; feder-
al regulations have long
encouraged employers
to skirt health care costs
through part-time hiring,
wrote Rob Valletta and
Leila Bengali.
The ultimate effect
(is) likely to be small,
they wrote.
The economists sug-
gest a much bigger factor
in whether people can
find full-time work is the
overall strength of the
economic recovery.
And once that starts
to feel more full-time,
the jobs its creating will,
too.
than $300 million since
2010, and the decline is
accelerating this year.
Sales have dropped 6.4
percent to $3.24 billion
through the 52 weeks
ended Aug. 11, accord-
ing to IRI.
Among the problems,
according to Moskow,
has been an overwhelm-
ing number of choices at
the checkout line, offer-
ing everything from faux
pie dessert substitutes
to flavor-changing gum.
Wrigley experienced a
flameout in May when
one of those varieties, its
Alert caffeinated gum,
was pulled from the mar-
ket after the Food and
Drug Administration
announced an investiga-
tion into the effect of
additional caffeine con-
sumption on children.
The company said it has
paused production, sales
and marketing of Alert
and will reassess the sit-
uation at the beginning
of 2015.
Splitstone acknowl-
edged that there are just
too many choices for
most consumers tastes.
Theres just a lot of
brands, a lot of flavor
entries and, we would
argue, more than there
needs to be, she said.
Weve made it more
complicated for consum-
ers.

Q: I am troubled by
some recent develop-
ments in the company
where I have worked for
twenty years. Lately, I
have been hearing a lot
of complaints from my
friends in another depart-
ment. Even though Im
not directly affected, I
hate to see my colleagues
having such a difcult
time.
The problems began
after a new vice president
was hired. Dan is not
only rude to his staff, but
he has also been modify-
ing many well-established
policies and procedures.
No one questions these
decisions because Dan is
extremely intimidating.
To be fair, I should also
mention that he is very
smart and has saved the
company a lot of money.
Because I really care
about this business, I
would like to help resolve
these issues but Im not
sure what to do. Should I
bring this to someones
attention?
A: Based on such lim-
ited evidence, its impos-
sible to tell whether Dan
is a hero or a villain. If he
was hired as a turnaround
artist, his smart money-
saving moves may be
exactly what top manage-
ment was hoping for. In
that case, your unhappy
colleagues might just be
experiencing a normal
reaction to change.
On the other hand, Dan
could be the proverbial
bull in the corporate china
shop, creating operational
chaos and alienating val-
ued employees. But since
complaining about high-
level managers is risky
business, you need to pro-
ceed with caution.
If you have a trust-
worthy human resources
department, thats the
logical place to take this
information. Your twen-
ty-year track record will
bolster your credibility,
and your lack of direct
involvement should help
you present the situation
objectively.
For example:
Employees in Dans
department have recently
shared some concerns
with me. Many of them
feel that Dan treats peo-
ple disrespectfully and is
making reckless chang-
es. Since I dont work
for him, I have no rst-
hand knowledge of these
issues, but I thought you
should be aware of them.
If Dan actually is a rogue
executive, your feedback
would be quite valuable.
But if you fear that such
a report may not be well-
received, then you should
keep these grapevine com-
ments to yourself.
Q: Two weeks ago, my
husband sent his resume
to a company in another
state. Although he is
well-qualied for the posi-
tion, he has not gotten
any response. Should he
phone the human resourc-
es department or would
that be viewed as overly
aggressive?
A: As a general rule,
applicants can appropri-
ately make one call to be
sure their resume was
received. Similarly, after
an interview, they can
follow up once to check
on the decision process.
Beyond that, additional
inquiries are likely to
brand them as a nuisance.
Unfortunately, time
passes much more slowly
for job seekers than for
those who may hire them.
While applicants are anx-
iously waiting for news,
managers are typically
distracted by dozens of
other priorities, so your
husband may not hear
anything for awhile. And
if he is not selected for an
interview, he may never
hear anything at all.

OH CANADA
Investors have done well leaning on developed economies this year. Stock markets from
the U.S. to Europe to Japan have all climbed by more than 10 percent on optimism that
their economies will improve. But one glaring exception is Canada. Its stocks have lost
0.3 percent, putting it far behind the 18.4 percent gain for the Standard & Poors 500
index of its neighbor to the south. One culprit is Canadas dependence on natural
resources, whose prices have struggled this year. Gold is down about 20 percent, for
example. Producers of raw materials make up 13 percent of the MSCI Canada index,
versus 4 percent for the S&P 500.
THINK CHEAP
Shoppers are spending more, and retail sales rose in August
for the fifth straight month. Its the longest streak for retail sales
growth since November 2011. But only certain kinds of
retailers are benefiting. People are spending money on big
things like homes and cars, for example. But that leaves little
to spend on smaller items, like apparel. Clothing retailer Cato
said that its revenue in August fell 5 percent from a year ago,
for example. Job growth is still only mediocre, and income
growth has been weak. Citi analyst Deborah Weinswig says
consumers are spending only on CHEAP things: (C)ars,
(H)ousing, (E)-commerce, (A)ppliances and home (P)rojects.
MarketPulse
BETTER IN BONN
The latest sign that Europes economy is on the upswing: stron-
ger burger sales. Revenue for McDonalds European restaurants
open at least 13 months rose 3.3 percent in August from a year
ago. Its a key statistic for restaurants because it strips out the
effect of openings and closures, and Europe had by far the
strongest growth. In the U.S., McDonalds revenue was up 0.2
percent. In Asia, the
Middle East and Af-
rica, it was down 0.5
percent. The en-
couraging sales fig-
ures follow a report
that showed the 17
nations that use the
euro snapped out of
their six-quarter-
long recession dur-
ing the second
quarter.

Title:
Senior Equity Strategist at
Loomis Sayles
His outlook:
Things are looking up.
Interviewed by Matthew Craft.
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
Richard Skaggs
Some investors think the stock
markets success has relied on
the Federal Reserve pumping
money into the financial system.
Not Richard Skaggs, senior equity
strategist at Loomis Sayles. He
says the markets gains are built
on a solid foundation of profits and
dividends and another 10 percent
rise over the next year is a good
bet.
Certain pundits say the Fed has
propped up the market with its
bond-buying program. What do
you think?
The fact that interest rates are
at very low levels has been very
beneficial. Its helped job growth,
housing, car sales and corporate
earnings. But I dont think the
Feds quantitative-easing program
has been a major factor at all in
U.S. stock prices.
What the stock market has gone
through is a normal recovery after
hitting a deep trough in 2009.
Weve had decent earnings growth,
and more importantly, weve had
15 percent dividend growth in
2011, another 15 percent in 2012,
and this year its going to be up
around 10 percent. Companies
are buying back stock, and the
market is reasonably priced today
at roughly 16 times earnings.
A lot of people on Wall Street are
convinced that the Fed will begin
easing off its stimulus at the end
of its meeting Wednesday [Sept.
18]. Whats your take?
Were in the camp that expects the
Fed to cut maybe $10 billion to $20
billion from its $85 billion a month,
starting in September or October.
Call it taper lite.
So, lets say the Fed trims to
$65 billion a month thats still
very stimulative. My guess is that
the stock market takes this in
stride and moves on to the next
big issue.
There are a lot of other events
coming up that have the power
to derail the stock markets run.
Have you considered running
for cover and waiting for things
to blow over?
The stock market tends to go down
based on surprises, unknown fac-
tors that suddenly pop up and alter
the projection of the market. Weve
known about tapering since Fed
Chairman Ben Bernanke brought it
up back in May. And we know that
every year it seems like we have a
budget fight in Congress.
In our view, trying to time an
equity portfolio around these
events is a losing proposition.
Is there one thing you think
most people dont understand
about the markets, a big miscon-
ception?
The stock markets performance
has been supported by fundamen-
tals. People who think its a bubble
or a result of the Fed, theyre
mistaken. Its being driven by
earnings and dividend growth.
Many aspects of the U.S.
economy are looking good. It looks
to me like we have another two
years or so of solid growth.

Shock waves flowed through the financial system five years ago when Lehman
Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The Dow Jones industrial
average fell 504 points, or 4.4 percent that day, shaking investor confidence.
The collapse of the investment bank triggered the worst of the 2008 financial
crisis. The following weeks would call into question the stability of the U.S.
financial system and lead regulators to question if several financial institutions
had become too big to fail.

A high dividend yield can be a siren call.
It means that a companys stock pays out more
in dividends relative to its stock price than others.
But that could be a result of either a big dividend or
a stock price under pressure. Bank stocks, for
example, saw their dividend yields soar early in the
Great Recession as their stock prices plunged,
until they cut their dividend payouts.
This screen from Citi Research shows stocks
with high dividend yields where investors also have
relatively high confidence in their businesses. It
measures that by looking at credit-default swaps,
which show how likely investors think a company is
to default on its debt.

Eyes on the Fed
Mortgage rates remained relatively steady
ahead of a Federal Reserve meeting next
week that could bring a reduction in its bond
purchase program. The average rate on the
30-year loan was unchanged at 4.57 per-
cent, just below its two-year high of 4.58

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON The
heads of U.S. securities
exchanges have agreed to
pursue changes intended
to limit technical break-
downs and better manage
those that occur.
The ofcials met
Thursday with
Securities and Exchange
Commission Chairman
Mary Jo White. White
held the meeting just
three weeks after a techni-
cal outage on the Nasdaq
stock exchange shut down
trading for three hours.
About a dozen ofcials
participated in the closed-
door meeting at SEC head-
quarters, including the
heads of Nasdaq and the
New York Stock Exchange.
One idea announced after
the meeting would be for
exchanges to implement
kill switches that could
automatically shut down a
rms trading system. The
NYSE has begun work on
kill switches.
The exchanges also said
they will review their sys-
tems and develop plans
for stricter standards.
A series of market dis-
ruptions in recent years
have heightened con-
cerns and hurt investors
already shaky condence
in the markets. In May
2010, the so-called Flash
Crash sent the Dow Jones
industrial average down
hundreds of points in min-
utes before it eventually
closed 348 points lower.
The episodes also have
put fresh scrutiny on the
super-fast electronic trad-
ing systems that now
dominate the U.S. securi-
ties markets. This week,
the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission took
a step toward stricter
oversight of high-speed
trading, putting forward
a broad range of possible
rules for public comment.
The SEC plans to nal-
ize rules that would put
stricter oversight on the
exchanges, requiring
them to routinely test
their trading systems, for
example.
White said in a state-
ment she asked the
exchanges to work togeth-
er and with the SEC to
strengthen critical mar-
ket infrastructure and
improve its resilience
when technology falls
short.
Heads of
exchanges
agree to steps
on breakdowns

but its risky, because if the market
turns against you, you either sell
for a loss plus interest costs
or hold on until the market picks
up, paying interest all the while. If
youre borrowing on margin and
paying 8 percent interest, you bet-
ter be pretty confident your stocks
will appreciate more than 8 percent,
and theres never any guarantee of
that. (Margin rates these days are in
the 7 percent to 9 percent neighbor-
hood, unless youre quite wealthy.)
When your margined securities
fall below a certain level, youll
receive a margin call, requiring
an infusion of additional cash. If
you cant raise the cash, the broker-
age will sell some of your holdings
to generate the needed funds. This
can sting, sometimes resulting in
short-term capital gains taxed at
high rates.
Margin can reduce your invest-
ing flexibility, too. If youve bor-
rowed money to invest in a stock
and it falls sharply, you may end
up forced to sell when youd rather
wait it out.
Only experienced investors
should use margin, and many have
gotten rich without it, too.
The Motley Fool Take

In late July, Rhode Island-based
Hasbro (NYSE: HAS) reported lack-
luster second-quarter earnings, with
revenue down 6 percent and earnings
down 12 percent. Dismissing the
stock would be premature, though,
as Hasbro has a lot to offer.
Even in the lackluster quarter, rev-
enue in its Games category gained
19 percent while its Girls category
surged 43 percent. (Meanwhile,
Mattels Barbie line has been post-
ing successive sales declines.) The
Boys category dropped 43 percent,
but may get some relief via the
renewal (through 2020) of Hasbros
contract to license thousands of
Disney-owned Marvel characters
(such as Spider-Man, the Avengers
and Iron Man), as well as the Star
Wars brand.
Hasbro is aiming to keep up with
the times, having recently spent $112
million for 70 percent of the mobile
game company Backflip Studios. It
has also licensed many of its games
(such as Monopoly and Clue) to
video game-maker Electronic Arts.
Hasbro is also a partner in The Hub,
a TV network.
The stock recently offered a 3.6
percent dividend yield, with its
payout having doubled over the
past five years. The company has
recently upped its stock-buyback
plans by $500 million, which will
reward shareholders by spreading its
profits over fewer shares. Are you
game for Hasbro?

Matthew Cordle does not want your
admiration.
He knows some people are finding inspi-
ration in his courage. We are told this
upsets him. He thinks theyre missing the
point.
The point is, he killed some-
one.
Vincent Canzani was a
61-year-old photographer,
Navy veteran and father of
two daughters.
In the pre-dawn hours of
June 22, he was traveling
on I-670 in Columbus, Ohio,
when his Jeep was struck
head-on by a Toyota Tundra
speeding east in the west-
bound lanes. Canzani died at
the scene.
Cordle, 22, was critically injured in the
crash. As of last week, he had not been
arrested.
Then, without his attorneys knowledge,
he recorded a video, a wrenching, profes-
sionally produced clip that makes his guilt
clear as mountain air.
I killed a man, he says. The screen is
black. Somber music rises, a heavily pixi-
lated face appears, and in an electronically
altered voice, it tells the story. How he was
out bar-hopping with friends. How some-
times I drink because I have depression
that I struggle with everyday. How drink-
ing made him someone people dont like
being around. How he drank to excess
then got behind the wheel. How Canzani
paid with his life.
Immediately following that, I consulted
some high-powered attorneys who told me
stories about similar cases where the driv-
ers got off. They were convinced that they
could get my blood test thrown out and all
I would have to do for that was lie. Well, I
wont go down that path.
Here, he faces
the camera without
pixilation, speak-
ing in his natural
voice. My name is
Matthew Cordle, he
says. Yes, he says,
he knows this video
will likely help con-
vict him. The point is
moot; he intends to plead guilty. He closes
with a plea: I beg you and I say the
word beg specifically Im begging you,
please dont drink and drive.
Cordles video wound up on Because I
Said I Would (becauseisaidiwould.com), a
website dedicated to the power of prom-
ises. He wants people to promise not to
do what he did. Monday, he was arrested
and indicted on charges that could put him
away for up to eight-and-a-half years.
And yes, that penalty would be well-
deserved.
Its emblematic of our cynical times that
people online have suggested the video is
part of some Machiavellian plot to get a
lighter sentence. Its also emblematic that
you cant dismiss the speculation out of
hand.
But Alex Sheen, founder of Because I
Said I Would, told CNN Cordle seems sin-
cere in his desire to accept responsibility
for what he did.
That opinion is persuasive. Cordle, says
Sheen, is upset that people are calling his
act of confession courageous.?
You can hardly blame them, though. We
see such forthright behavior so seldom. In
this era, people who get in trouble parse
the meaning of is
or say mistakes
were made. They
speak non-apology
apologies filled
with uncontrite
contrition. This has
become the norm.
So there is a rare,
courageous integrity
in seeing this very young man step up and
say, I take responsibility. To acknowledge
that is not to minimize the crime, nor to
lionize the criminal. He did what he did
and you can never erase that or reduce it.
But there is more to the story and
to Cordle. Though we sometimes pretend
you can encapsulate a given individual in a
single blunt word of judgment, the truth is,
humanity is more complex than that, each
woman or man a vessel of traits that con-
tradict and deny one another. It is impos-
sible to say which one of them defines the
whole person in every situation. It is also
unnecessary to say. We are not limited to a
single blunt word of judgment.
So we can say of Matthew Cordle, yes,
were saddened by the terrible thing he
did. But we are also braced by what he did
after that.

OUR OPINION: SUICIDE AWARENESS
Consider joining walk
Out of the darkness
If you pass through
downtown Wilkes-Barre
or cross the Market
Street Bridge this after-
noon, odds are good you
will see them.
Many walking in teams
with same-colored shirts
some in neon hard to
ignore, others in more
subdued pastels. Because
of the multi-hued togs,
you might wonder if they
are all embracing a com-
mon cause or compet-
ing to stand out as best
among the rest.
Both are true. They
walk for awareness of a
very real problem yet vie
to be the top money rais-
er in fighting that prob-
lem. And the cause is
one that too often fades
into the folds of social
consciousness simply
because it is so often a
private tragedy.
You almost certainly
will be watching partici-
pants in the local version
of a national campaign
to raise both awareness
and money for suicide
prevention: the Out of
the Darkness Community
Walks organized under
the umbrella of the
American Foundation for
Suicide Prevention.
The local event, official-
ly dubbed the Greater
Northeast PA Walk, is
set to begin at 2 p.m. at
Kirby Park and expected
to run until everyone is
done or 5 p.m., which-
ever comes first. And,
yes, while many people
already have registered
online or otherwise in
advance, you can register
in person at the walk and
still participate.
You also can contrib-
ute to the goal of raising
$25,000 even without
walking, simply by going
online at afsp.donor-
drive.com. While the
walk is today, money can
be donated to this years
drive until Dec. 31.
According to the foun-
dations website, the
money goes toward vital
research and education
programs to prevent
suicide and save lives,
increase national aware-
ness about depression
and suicide, and provide
support for survivors of
suicide loss.
The website also gives
some distressing statis-
tics that show why such
efforts are needed.
Someone in the
United States dies by
suicide every 13.7 min-
utes, claiming more than
38,000 lives each year.
Suicide is the fourth-
leading cause of death
among adults 18 to 65
It is the second-
leading cause of death for
teens and young adults.
People over 65
account for 16 percent of
all suicide deaths.
As the website puts it,
This is a public health
issue that does not dis-
criminate by age, gender,
ethnicity or socio-eco-
nomic status.
Consider joining, or
contributing. The walk
is a very worthy attempt
to bring this too-often-
hushed topic out of the
darkness.
Diplomacy in Syria
is risky but prudent
OTHER OPINION: CHEMICAL WEAPONS
When President Obama
asked Congress to autho-
rize a military attack
against Syria, he said
the goal was to hold the
Assad regime accountable
for their use of chemical
weapons, deter this kind
of behavior and degrade
their capacity to carry it
out.
Can the same objectives
be accomplished through
diplomacy? In his address
to the nation Tuesday,
Obama announced that he
would pursue that possi-
bility, even as he reserved
the option of military
action.
That was the right call,
but the diplomatic track
must not be allowed to
become a long and wind-
ing road to nowhere.
Whats under discus-
sion is a Russian proposal
for international con-
trol of Syrias chemical
weapons and their sub-
sequent destruction. It
was broached by Russian
Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov after Secretary of
State John F. Kerry sug-
gested that Assad might
avert U.S. military action
by turning over every
single bit of his chemical
weapons to the interna-
tional community in the
next week. Kerry added:
But he isnt about to do
it, and it cant be done,
obviously. Then Syrian
ofcials endorsed the idea
and even suggested Syria
would sign the Chemical
Weapons Convention.
An agreement that
would truly put Syrias
chemical weapons
beyond use would be a
preferable alternative to
military action.
It would reafrm the
international condemna-
tion of chemical warfare
and might prove just as
successful as airstrikes in
preventing future atroci-
ties by the Assad govern-
ment.
It might even have a
deterrent effect on other
nations considering the
use of nonconventional
weapons.
But will it work? Kerry
has said that the United
States seeks a full resolu-
tion of the U.N. Security
Council, an apparent
reference to a so-called
Chapter 7 resolution that
would authorize mem-
ber states to use military
force to implement it. So
far Russia, which has veto
power on the council, has
resisted that approach.
Even if the council were
to approve a muscular
resolution, Assads past
mendacity in dealings
with U.N. representatives
raises concerns that he
would obstruct weapons
inspectors who would
be performing their duties
in the midst of a civil war.
Their jobs would not
be easy. Monitors would
need some measure of
protection from the wars
violence, and the pro-
cess of identifying and
destroying the weapons
would have to be veri-
able.
There would also have
to be serious consequenc-
es for noncompliance so
that the process wouldnt
become a farce or a cat-
and-mouse game reminis-
cent of the long effort to
inspect Saddam Husseins
supposed weapons of
mass destruction.
Notwithstanding these
concerns, Obamas deci-
sion to explore a diplo-
matic solution is a pru-
dent one.
We continue to believe
that the use of chemical
weapons against civil-
ians requires a response
from this country, ide-
ally in concert with other
nations.
But, like the president,
we hope that message can
be effectively delivered
other than by military
might.

Apositive afermath to a criminal act
Waiters do not receive raise in 22 years
COMMENTARY: SCOTT KLINgER
Most people assume restaurant tips are a
reward for good service that helps servers
get ahead. In reality, your tip fills a gap cre-
ated by a loophole.
Federal minimum wage law allows res-
taurant owners to pay their tipped employ-
ees just $2.13 an hour. This sub-minimum
wage hasnt increased for 22 years and
amounts to less than a third of the federal
minimum wage.
It helps large restaurant corporations
and their CEOs pad their bottom lines
while trapping millions of American work-
ers in economic insecurity. The average
server earned $20,710 last year, according
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Because these workers start in such a
hole, they are three times more likely to
live in poverty and twice as likely to be eli-
gible for food stamps as employees in other
industries. A quarter of all servers are over
40, and many of them have families to sup-
port.
From 1966, when the tipped minimum
wage was first introduced, until 1996, it
was pegged at 50 percent of the prevailing
minimum wage.
But aggressive lobbying by the National
Restaurant Association removed the link-
age and froze the minimum wage for tipped
workers at its 1991 level of $2.13 an hour.
Since then, about half the states have either
raised the tipped minimum wage or have
no minimum wage at all for tipped work-
ers. For the rest, $2.13 an hour remains the
standard.
The 22-year freeze has been especially
hard on women, who fill 71 percent of food
server jobs.
Excluding women and people of color
from the full protection of the minimum
wage is nothing new. When the minimum
wage was first adopted in 1938, it covered
only 6 percent of the American workforce,
most of them white males.
The government explicitly excluded
domestic and agricultural workers, whose
ranks were dominated
by women and people
of color.
Today, only two
industries with large
female workforces
remain not fully cov-
ered by the minimum
wage law: home health
care workers and res-
taurant servers.
Theres momen-
tum in Congress to
increase the minimum wage to $10.10 an
hour and peg the tipped minimum wage
at 70 percent of this level. The National
Restaurant Association is again marshal-
ling to block this increase.
Leading the opposition is Darden
Restaurants, the worlds largest full-ser-
vice restaurant chain and the owner of
Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and Longhorn
Steakhouse, among others. In 1991,
Darden reported $2.6 million in sales per
restaurant. By 2013, sales per restaurant
increased 52 percent to $4 million.
During the same period, the hourly pay
of much of Dardens wait staff increased by,
well, zero. Only employees in Dardens fine
dining Capital Grille restaurant chain and
those in states that have adopted a tipped
minimum wage that is higher than the fed-
eral minimum earn more.
In 1996, Olive Garden reported an aver-
age bill per customer of between $10 and
$11. Since then, sales per customer have
increased by more than 50 percent. While
Darden is taking in more revenue from
customers, most tipped employees con-
tinue to be paid the
same $2.13 an hour
theyve received for
the last 22 years.
A lot of Dardens
increase in revenue
is finding its way
into the wallet of
CEO Clarence Otis
Jr. who took home
$6.4 million last
year. Thats nearly
four times what his
predecessor was paid in 1996, when the res-
taurant industry first blocked an increase
in the tipped minimum wage. Otis take
works out to $2,116 an hour (assuming he
works 60 hours a week all year, with two
weeks of vacation).
Every two hours, Dardens CEO makes
more than his company pays its $2.13-an-
hour wait staff for a full years work.
When leaders of extremely profitable
restaurant chains fill their own plates
while denying raises to those who work
hard every day to serve their customers, it
should leave a bad taste in all our mouths.

Syria deal saves face,
not country or cause
The president of the United
States takes to the airwaves to
urgently persuade the nation to
pause before doing something
it has no desire to do in the rst
place.
Strange. And it gets stranger
still. That strike Syria, maybe
speech begins with a
heart-rending account
of children consigned
to a terrible death by
a monster dropping
poison gas. It pro-
ceeds to explain why
such behavior must
be punished. It culmi-
nates with the argu-
ment that the proper
response the most
effective way to
uphold fundamental
norms, indeed human
decency is a ea bite: some-
thing limited, targeted or, as so
memorably described by Secretary
of State John Kerry, unbelievably
small.
The mind reels, but theres more.
We must respond but not yet.
This Munich moment (Kerry
again) demands rst a pause to
nd accommodation with that very
same toxin-wielding monster, by
way of negotiations with his equal-
ly cynical, often shirtless, Kremlin
patron bearing promises.
The promise is to rid Syria of its
chemical weapons. The negotia-
tions are open-ended. Not a word
from President Obama about any
deadline or ultimatum. And utter
passivity: Kerry said hours earlier
that he awaited the Russian pro-
posal.
Why? The administration claims
(preposterously, but no matter)
that Obama has been working
on this idea with Putin at previ-
ous meetings. Take at face value
Obamas claim of authorship. Then
why isnt he taking ownership?
Why isnt he calling it the U.S.
proposal and dening it? Why not
issue a U.S. plan containing the
precise demands, detailed timeline
and threat of action should these
conditions fail to be met?
Putin doesnt care one way or the
other about chemical weapons. Nor
about dead Syrian children. Nor
about international norms, parch-
ment treaties and the other niceties
of the liberal imagination.
He cares about power and he
cares about keeping Bashar al-
Assad in power. Assad is the key
link in the anti-Western Shiite
crescent stretching from Tehran
through Damascus and Beirut to
the Mediterranean on which sits
Tartus, Russias only military base
outside the former Soviet Union.
This axis frontally challenges the
pro-American Sunni Arab Middle
East (Jordan, Yemen, the Gulf
Arabs, even the North African
states), already terried at the
imminent emergence of a nuclear
Iran.
At which point the Iran axis and
its Russian patron would achieve
dominance over the moderate Arab
states, allowing Russia to supplant
America as regional hegemon for
the rst time since Egypt switched
to our side in the Cold War in 1972.
The hinge of the entire Russian
strategy is saving the Assad
regime. Thats the very purpose of
the Russian proposal. Imagine
that some supposed arms control
protocol is worked out. The inspec-
tors have to be vetted by Assad,
protected by Assad, convoyed by
Assad, directed by Assad to every
destination. Negotiation, inspec-
tion, identication, accounting,
transport and safety would require
constant cooperation with the
regime, and thus acknowledgment
of its sovereignty and legitimacy.
So much for Obamas repeated
insistence that Assad must go.
Indeed, Putin has openly demanded
that any negotiation be conditioned
on a U.S. commitment to forswear
the use of force against Assad.
On Thursday, Assad repeated that
demand, warning that without an
American pledge not to attack and
not to arm the rebels, his govern-
ment would agree to nothing.
This would abolish the very
possibility of America tilting the
order of battle in a Syrian war that
Assad is now winning thanks to
Russian arms, Iranian advisers and
Lebanese Hezbollah shock troops.
Putin thus assures the survival of
his Syrian client and the continued
ascendancy of the anti-Western
Iranian bloc.
And what does America get?
Obama saves face.
Some deal.
As for the peace process, it has
about zero chance of disarming
Damascus. Weve spent nine years
disarming an innitely smaller
arsenal in Libya in conditions
of peace and were still nding
undeclared stockpiles.
Yet consider whats happened
over the last month. Assad uses
poison gas on civilians and is
branded, by the U.S. above all, a
war criminal. Putin, covering for
the war criminal, is exposed, iso-
lated, courting pariah status.
And now? Assad, far from receiv-
ing punishment of any kind, goes
from monster to peace partner.
Putin bestrides the world stage,
playing dealmaker. Hes welcomed
by America as a constructive part-
ner. Now a world statesman, he
takes to The New York Times to
blame American interventionist
arrogance aka American excep-
tionalism for inducing small
states to acquire WMDs in the rst
place.
And Obama gets to slink away
from a Syrian debacle of his own
making. Such are the fruits of a
diplomacy of epic incompetence.

Twerking doesnt move us all
Like any kid who grew up in the 60s
and 70s, I have an uneasy relationship
with dancing. I try to explain this to
teenagers in my life, but it falls on deaf
ears or, more precisely, shaking heads,
shimmying shoulders, gyrating hips
and deaf ears.
Kids today, even the
shy ones, seem to have
all kinds of moves.
A nerdy looking boy
with an overbite will
demurely say, Aww,
I cant dance, then
throw up his hands,
close his eyes, wiggle
his torso, stop and
mumble, See?
See what? In my
day, that would have
put you on American
Bandstand.
My generation comes from a lost era,
dropped on the dancing time line some-
where between the Mashed Potato and
the Electric Slide. I believe you have
formative years with dance, and they
stay with you forever, kind of like fat
cells, and those years come when you
are in junior high and high school.
The moves you learn back then, no
matter what happens the rest of your
life, become your default setting. In the
late 60s, words like groovy were in
fashion, words like straight were an
insult, and so formal steps on a dance
oor were frowned upon. You were sup-
posed to let the music transport you.
Which is why guys from my genera-
tion still can be seen today, balding and
fattened up, working two basic moves.
The bounce left and right, and the hang-
on-for-dear-life. The latter we used to
call slow dancing. Today it just looks
like two people trying to keep warm
in the Arctic. You pressed together as
close as physically possible, and waited
for the song to end. Occasionally you
would slide an inch or two, but it wasnt
a formal move. Just shifting the sweat.
Back then, we didnt twerk. I only
recently learned what twerking was,
when I returned from a vacation to nd
the entire country talking about it.
Apparently, teen star Miley Cyrus,
who came to fame as a clean-cut, apple-
cheeked TV character named Hannah
Montana, raised everyones blood pres-
sure when, during a performance on a
music awards show, she twerked all
over her fellow dancers, her backup
singers and her performance partner,
Robin Thicke.
Almost immediately, twerking
and whether Cyrus should be doing it
on national television shot to the
top of Americas Most Pressing Issue
list, slightly above whether we should
invade Syria. Analysts broke it down.
The word twerking was entered into
the Oxford online dictionary. It now
reads:
Twerk: Dance to popular music in a
sexually provocative manner involving
thrusting hip movements and a low,
squatting stance.
Oxford then used the word in a sen-
tence: Just wait until they catch their
daughters twerking to this song.
No kidding. In our day, we also had
a sentence for kids bending over, shak-
ing their tush in someones crotch area
and grinning with their eyes closed. It
went: Grounded for a month.
The details of twerking are now
all over the Internet. Instructions.
History. Some claim it goes back 20
years. Whatever. Folks from my era just
shrug it off as another thing we will
never do, like zip-lining or writing our
own rap lyrics.
To be honest, I feel sorry for kids
today. We only had to learn to roll our
arms in the air, like we were conjuring
up a magic potion, and we could survive
on the dance oor. Kids today need to
grind, slide and simulate sex moves in
order to be considered worthy.
Its disturbing to see 11-year-olds
thrusting and gyrating, suggesting they
know the seductions of lovemaking
when they havent gotten their braces
off. Wait until they nd out that actual
sex is nowhere near as coordinated as
an MTV performance. How can they
feel anything other than uncool?
Which is all this twerking fuss is
about. Being cooler than the rest.
Cyrus, who, like other former child
stars (Britney Spears, Justin Bieber)
seems hell-bent on destroying the
image she worked years to perfect, told
a lm crew that, before going out on
stage, knowing how twerky she was
going to be, she and Thicke said, You
know were about to make history right
now.
Then again, if all it took to make his-
tory was squatting and twirling your
butt, the makers of the bidet would be a
lot more famous.

YOUR OpiNiON: LETTERS TOTHE EDiTOR
Stamp is
not enough
In response to the
letter to the editor by
Harriet Clyde Kipps of
Glen Lyon.
Yes, I was very excit-
ed about a coal miner
stamp, which turned out
to be a collection of 12
stamps in three rows of
four: an airplane maker,
a derrick man on the
Empire State Building, a
linotyper in a publishing
house, a welder on the
Empire State Building, a
power-house mechanic, a
railroad track walker and
a man guiding a beam
on the Empire State
Building.
Im sure all dangerous
professions, but then,
why not a surgeon, a
nurse, a lawyer, a den-
tist, all very prestigious
professions, but certainly
none like the coal miner.
A coal miner deserves
his own stamp because
he worked under horrific
conditions, almost being
drowned because of the
water seepage in the
ceilings, and no lights,
except the little light on
his hat that hardly led
him out of a dark, dreary
sulfur-smelling mine.
Not only is this col-
lection an insult to our
coal miners, but the cost
of the 12-stamp sheet
depicting a few of our
American workers is
more than $5.
What is wrong with
our postal service that
allows, as Harriet Clyde
Kipps had said in her let-
ter to the editor, this lack
of emphasis on one of the
most important indus-
tries in the development
of our country, coal min-
ing which is still being
utilized?
Many people have
called me to voice their
sadness, for they also
had family members who
worked diligently, con-
scientiously and never
complained because it
was their livelihood.
May God bless each of
our coal miners and their
families and friends.

No reasons
for Syria attack
The Obama admin-
istration and elitist
warmongers had been
attempting to sell mili-
tary intervention in Syria
as the only way to save
our countrys credibility.
As much as Obama wants
to say that the U.S. must
enforce international
norms, he is the one
who owns the decision
to commit the American
military to another war
in the Middle East that
will have no good end.
The root of Obamas
Syria policy was a mind-
less utterance made a
year ago on the campaign
trail that has come back
to haunt our country.
Any action now is only
to provide Obama with a
means to save face over
his empty campaign
statement that never
held any intention to
actively respond to the
crisis in Syria.
The time for the
United States to take a
military role in shaping
the events within Syria
has long passed. At the
time when the president
drew his red line on
the campaign trail over
chemical weapons and
intervention in Syria,
tens of thousands of
people had already been
killed in that countrys
civil war, which began in
March 2011.
Apparently a dictator
can kill his citizens with
conventional weapons
without violating the
international norm.
Why didnt we lead the
world to intervene when
reform-minded Syrians
took a stand against
the autocrat Bashar al-
Assad? After Obama had
so desperately sought to
take credit for the Arab
Spring his lack of ability
and willingness to deal
with the complex details
of those events resulted
in America doing noth-
ing to positively affect its
outcomes.
From Egypt to Libya
to Syria we have seen
destruction and death
fostered by an American
president heavy on rhet-
oric when it serves him
but empty on ideas when
it comes to the difficult
task of building democ-
racy and peace in the
region.
Obama did not seek to
take action to support the
fledgling Syrian rebellion
in 2011 because doing so
did not serve his political
objectives.
He used the Arab
Spring, the military
campaign in Libya, even
the killing of Osama Bin
Laden as props to bolster
his incoherent foreign
policy.
Once he was finished,
just as with his domestic
policy props, he discard-
ed them and focused on
the next issue for which
he could place himself as
the focal point to be all
things to every special
interest group that was
being lobbied that day.
Apparently the tactic
worked, since 64 million
Americans voted him
back into office.
The issue now with
Syria is that all of
Obamas political works
and all his empty promis-
es have placed the United
States in a compromised
position.
Since we did not help
the pro-democracy, pro-
reform rebellion in its
infancy, other forces
have flooded Syria and
corrupted the initial
struggle against Assad
into a proxy war among
the Arab nations and
Iran. Al-Qaida and
other affiliate Islamic
jihadist groups backed
with petro dollars from
Saudi Arabia and Qatar
fight against the Syrian
Army, which is aided by
Hezbollah funded by Iran
all sides committing
atrocities by convention-
al means, all sides with
the potential to commit
atrocities with chemical
means, all sides with the
blood of 100,000 Syrians
on their hands.
Obamas loose under-
standing of foreign poli-
cy and his flippant deci-
sion to use military force
has set the United States
on a path to potentially
become entangled in a
fight in which there are
no good guys and the
eventual winner will not
espouse the values or
democratic traditions
of our country. There is
nothing to gain in terms
of American interest by
lobbing cruise missiles
into a hornets nest full
of killers who resemble
nothing of the fictional
freedoms fighters the
administration, some
of the news media, and
other elitist warmongers
are desperately trying to
spin.
It is irresponsible and
will lead to even further
regional and potentially
international destabiliza-
tion.
An arbitrary red line
was crossed. A chemi-
cal attack occurred, but
the evidence is difficult
or impossible to verify
exactly who was respon-
sible.
Now Obama suddenly
decides to act despite
previously showing no
interest in the suffering
of the Syrian people.
Thanks to the Obama
administration, America
has no recognizable for-
eign policy toward the
Middle East and no sup-
port from the rest of the
world, yet our leaders are
seeking to go to war.
The second-, third- and
fourth-order effects from
a bombing campaign will
result only in prolonged
agony for the Syrian peo-
ple at best and potential-
ly plunge the U.S. into an
expanded regional con-
flict engulfing the entire
Middle East at worst.
The time to act is now.
Lobby your congress-
man and senators. Speak
out loudly and fiercely
against Obamas illegal
war.
Read about and under-
stand the turmoil in the
world rather than the
frivolities of Hollywood.
Find ways every day to
help your fellow man.
Finally, pray for all those
affected by conflict and
be mindful that the deci-
sions of elitists result
in heavy prices paid by
ordinary people.
Edward Chronowski
Plains Township
In 2010 and again in
2012, the Obama admin-
istration made one of
its most important deci-
sions on
energy use
and climate
change.
It negoti-
ated agree-
ments with
auto com-
panies on
new fuel
e c o n o m y
s t a nda rds
for passen-
ger vehi-
cles that will reach up
to 34 miles per gallon by
the model year 2016 and
54.5 mpg by 2025.
This is a 90 percent
increase over previous
levels, and it represents
by far the biggest adjust-
ment to vehicle fuel effi-
ciency standards since
their introduction in
1975.
There also are new
standards for medium
and heavy-duty vehicles.
The passenger vehicle
standards will result in
sharp drops in release of
both air pollutants and
greenhouse gas emis-
sions.
The EPA estimates
that greenhouse gas
emissions from autos
will be cut in half by
2025, making higher fuel
efficiency standards the
single most important
action the federal gov-
ernment has taken on
climate change.
The standards also
reflect huge savings for
drivers in fuel use and
therefore in the cost of
driving automobiles.
The EPA calculates
that over time improved
fuel economy will save
consumers an amount
equal to lowering the
price of gasoline by $1
per gallon.
The vehicles will cost
a little more, but their
higher efficiency more
than makes up for the
added cost. In fact, con-
sumers will save about
$8,000 per vehicle over
its lifetime.
In addition, the stan-
dards are the most
significant action the
nation has taken to date
to reduce its dependence
on imported oil, thereby
strengthening the coun-
trys energy security and
improving its economy.
The fuel efficiency
changes will reduce U.S.
consumption of oil by
about 2 million barrels a
day by 2025.
Thats the equiva-
lent of one-half of what
we import from OPEC
nations every day.
There are additional
gains from these actions.
The standards encour-
age auto makers to inno-
vate and invest in new
technologies that are
likely to make the U.S.
more economically com-
petitive and resilient in
a shifting and uncertain
global economy.
Without the stan-
dards, Chinese and
other foreign auto mak-
ers might well threaten
domestic companies that
lag behind in either fuel
efficiency or automo-
tive technologies that
consumers are likely to
demand.
Given all of these ben-
efits to the nation, the
EPA should reject efforts
by the auto industry to
revamp fuel economy
standards or the testing
procedures used to judge
compliance with them.
The industry wants
to make it easier for
vehicles to meet the
new mandates, in part
because car makers
would prefer to delay
costly investments in
new technologies.
Sadly, that has long
been the posture of the
industry.
Auto companies have
argued for decades that
new environmental,
safety and fuel economy
standards were not tech-
nically achievable or
were too costly to adopt.
They wanted more wig-
gle room, and they still
do.
By granting conces-
sions to auto makers,
the EPA would perpetu-
ate use of old technolo-
gies and risk losing the
substantial benefits
that come with the new
standards: improved
air quality and public
health, major fuel sav-
ings for consumers, a
stronger economy, and
essential reductions in
greenhouse gas emis-
sions.
The federal govern-
ment already offers the
industry flexible and
cost-effective compli-
ance options.
Thus without weaken-
ing standards or test-
ing procedures, it can
facilitate auto industry
responses to tougher
standards through exist-
ing credit trading sys-
tems, adjustments based
on air conditioning sys-
tem efficiency, credits
for use of new energy-
saving technologies and
credits for use of non-
conventional fuels.
The new fuel economy
standards were adopted
only after extensive con-
sultation with the auto
industry, auto workers,
consumer groups, envi-
ronmental and energy
experts, and state gov-
ernments.
Thirteen major auto
makers supported the
initiative to develop a
consistent nationwide
standard and create reg-
ulatory certainty going
forward.
To weaken the stan-
dards now would jeopar-
dize the agreement and
risk losing the enormous
benefits that come with
sticking to the original
plan.

COMMENTARY: FUEL ECONOMY PRO

The EPAmust not tamper with its mileage tests
COMMENTARY: FUEL ECONOMY CON
Outmoded mileage tests shortchange consumers
Of all the rules set
forth by the federal gov-
ernment to regulate the
U.S. auto industry
and there are thousands
none is more frustrat-
ing to consumers and car
companies alike than the
EPAs requirement that
fuel economy be posted
on new-car stickers.
Very few consumers
actually achieve the fuel
economy posted on their
sticker.
The EPA itself has
admitted that real-world
fuel economy is usually
about 20 percent lower
than its own lab num-
bers.
Part of this is due to
the quirky provisions of
the testing procedures,
and part is because a
whole new generation
of clean diesels, hybrids
and electrics has ren-
dered the testing proto-
col outdated, if not obso-
lete.
Bottom line: the EPA
should either scrap the
rule altogether or at
a minimum repair it
so its more in keeping
with the fuel economy
achieved by real people
driving on real roads.
The test procedures,
themselves, are cumber-
some.
Since there are more
than 250 car and truck
nameplates available for
sale in the United States,
the EPA tests only about
15 percent of them in
their labs.
The automakers are
allowed to test the others
themselves and submit
fuel economy data to the
EPA for review.
To save costs, automak-
ers are able to submit a
single fuel economy num-
ber for all their vehicles
with the same weight,
engine and transmission,
even if the outer sheet
metal of the vehicles may
be different.
The lab tests are done
by placing vehicles on
a mechanical treadmill
called a dynamometer.
Thus, the testing doesnt
take into consideration
factors like individual
driving styles, tempera-
ture or geography.
The test cycling of the
dynamometers is also a
bone of contention.
Since the EPA test
cycling favors city driv-
ing, many owners of
hybrids say their real-
world fuel economy is far
less than the EPA num-
bers.
There have been class-
action lawsuits over the
discrepancies and even
a restating of hybrid
fuel economy by a major
automaker.
Ironically, diesel own-
ers point out that their
vehicles which gener-
ally are more efficient in
highway driving fre-
quently do better than
the EPA posted number.
Another factor that
distorts the EPA num-
bers from real-world fuel
economy is the fuel the
agency uses in testing. It
contains no ethanol.
Gasoline that we pur-
chase today at gas sta-
tions across the country
contains as much as 10
percent ethanol which
the EPA says can lower
fuel economy by about
four percent.
It would seem logical
that the EPA should use
gasoline in its testing
with the same ethanol
content as that purchased
by motorists when they
fill up their tanks.
A cynic would say all
the factors listed above
indicate the vast bureau-
cracy of the EPA has got-
ten itself all tangled up
in its mandated task of
providing accurate fuel
economy estimates.
And the fact that so
many consumers are not
getting the advertised
fuel economy is a sign
that somethings clearly
out of whack.
Its no wonder the auto
industry is quick to point
out: Your mileage may
vary.
But consumers need
valid mileage numbers to
make valid buying deci-
sions. Under the current
standards all they have is
confusion.
Most consumers would
contend that vehicle fuel
economy is a key factor
in their purchase deci-
sion. When shopping
for a car or truck, its a
good thing to be aware
of the vehicles efficiency
particularly at a time
when gasoline prices
tend to be so volatile.
Thats why the EPA
has a responsibility to
get the numbers right.
