WILKES-BARRE Everyone
was all smiles in November
2009, when Wyoming Valley
Habitat for Humanity turned a
renovated doctors ofce build-
ing on Stanton Street over to its
new owners, John and Tawana
Simpson.
Less than four years later,
the Simpsons American Dream
has taken a turn for the worse,
leaving neighbors questioning
whether the home is being used
for the purpose for which it was
intended.
John Simpson is serving a one-
to-two year Luzerne County pris-
on sentence in connection with
drug charges, according to court
records. And neighbors believe
Tawana Simpson may now be liv-
ing somewhere else and renting
out the property at 171 Stanton
St.
Habitat ofcials say they can-
not discuss individual cases, but
acknowledge that their policy
prohibits homeowners from leas-
ing Habitat homes while they are
paying off their mortgages.
Our biggest concern now is
that the family has moved out
and is now renting the house out
to multiple people, said Eric
Schaffer, who lives across the
street. I know this because the
one older man staying there told
us this.
A Times Leader reporter vis-
ited the property three times
in the past three weeks. The
Simpsons names were still listed
on the mailbox, along with two
separate pieces of paper bearing
the names of people with two
other last names.
A man who answered the
back door during the rst visit
declined to speak with a report-
er. A written message left for
Tawana Simpson later was not
returned.

When Civil War veteran
Peter M. Austin of Luzerne
died in 1928, the ag that
he had defended went with
him to the grave, a silken
stars and stripes forever to
envelop him.
Austin, who lived to
84, was the last man in
the small borough to have
served in the war. The
gesture of interring the
ag with him at the Forty
Fort Cemetery, rather than
removing it before burial,
was the communitys way
of saying goodbye to a
heroic generation.
It was a gesture that
was repeated in spirit
many times over as the
men whod fought the
1861-1865 war the
150th anniversary of
which is being commemo-
rated at events this year
in Gettysburg and beyond
grew old and America
moved into the 20th cen-
tury.
About 2,500 men from
the Wyoming Valley served
in uniform during the Civil
War, with an estimated
one-fourth of them killed
or wounded. Soon after
the war the local veterans
formed Conyngham Post
97 of the Grand Army of
the Republic (GAR), part
of a national veterans orga-
nization. By 1889, with
more than 1,100 members,
the local chapter was meet-
ing in a castle-like building
on Wilkes-Barres South
Main Street the GAR
Hall.
Like their fellows all
over America, the local
veterans, who continued
to wear uniforms, marched
in parades, campaigned for
a national veterans pen-
sion and supported mili-
tary preparedness. Some
from the Conyngham Post
helped to organize the 9th
Infantry Regiment, which
later became the 109th
Field Artillery of the Army
National Guard.
Though busy as busi-
nessmen, workingmen and
farmers (Peter M. Austin
was a carpenter with the
Haddock Mining Co.), they
kept their patriotic spir-
its alive through regional,
state and national meet-
ings known as encamp-
ments, often traveling to
the sites of their long-ago
battles.
By the 20th century,
even the youngest Civil
War veterans were nearing
their 60s. They were still
familiar sights at public
events, but their numbers
were shrinking. Before
long, local communities

Aaron Brethorst, seen with his dog,
Moxie, is a self-employed Seattle
resident who says he doesnt have
a problem with President Obamas
health care reforms.
DONNA GORDON

Associated Press
SEATTLE President
Obamas health care reforms
will be a huge boost to the
working poor but are likely to
make life more expensive for
Aaron Brethorst and others
like him.
The Seattle software devel-
oper and consultant doesnt
have a problem with that
because he gures hell be able
to afford quality insurance. He
says his annual income is in the
low six-gures, and he expects
to receive better coverage once
the Affordable Care Act kicks
in.
The 31-year-old says the abil-
ity to buy his own health insur-
ance, because he is relatively
young and healthy, has given
him the creative freedom to
start his own companies and
explore new ideas.
He spends a little more than
$300 a month on catastrophic
coverage with a high deduct-
ible. He recently got an email
from his health insurance com-
pany informing him that the
plan he bought on the indi-
vidual market is going to be
cancelled.
Brethorst said he does not
know whether he will buy his
next policy from the same
company a local version of
Blue Cross or through the
state insurance exchange, the
Washington HealthPlan nder.
He does expect to add a better
dental and vision plan in the
new year, however.
Im not worried about it,
quite frankly, Brethorst said.
My income today is more than
enough to pay for health insur-
ance.
That outlook is not likely to
be universal among those who
are self-employed.
The income threshold for a
government subsidy offered on
the state exchanges varies based
on a number of factors, but gen-
erally tops out at $46,000 a year
for an individual.
Depending on their health,
age, family circumstances
and income, the cost of insur-
ance could become a burden
for those who make too much
money for government subsi-
dies but not enough to be con-
sidered well-off.
Insurance companies say the
cost of their polices will have
to reect the new government

DALLAS TWP. The shipment of

no one seemed annoyed. If the amateur

NANTICOKE Luzerne
County Community College dedi-
cated the Francis S. and Mary Gill
Carrozza, R.N. Health Sciences
Center on Saturday.
Francis Carrozza, of Pittston,
recently donated a naming gift
for his wife Mary, who died in
February. In addition, the schools
nursing and health sciences pro-
grams were named for her.
She had been the head nurse and
director of the surgical recovery unit
at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
prior to her retirement. She was a
1951 graduate of Hughestown High
School and a 1954 graduate of the
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
School of Nursing.
Her husband saw this an oppor-
tunity to honor her, said attorney
Patrick J. Aregood, of Hanover
Township. She always had a pas-
sion for nursing and always had a
passion to lend a helping hand to
people, Aregood said.
The donated funds will be put
toward scholarships for students
in the colleges nursing and health
sciences programs and for future
program development.
Classes began at the facility for
the 2011 fall semester. Areas of
study in the health sciences pro-
grams include nursing, respiratory
therapy, surgical technology, dental
assisting, dental hygiene and emer-
gency medical services.
The expansion of the school and
its programs is part of the master
plan, said Thomas P. Leary, presi-
dent of LCCC. He welcomed guests
to the dedication of the building at
38 E. Main St.
Mr. Carrozzas nancial support
provides us with both the scholar-
ship funds to help our students
afford their education as well as the
ability to explore future program
development in the health sciences
eld for many years, Leary said.
Attorney Barry H. Williams,
chair of the community colleges
board of trustees, thanked Francis
Carrozza for the donation. We
appreciate Mr. Carrozzas willing-
ness to partner with us as we con-
tinue to educate our students to
help meet the regions health care
needs, he said.
The center recently received
the 2013 Pride of Place Award for
Environmental Enhancement from
the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber
of Commerce.

WILKES-BARRE Six
alleged drug dealers were arrest-
ed in different sections of the
city Friday, according to a press
release from city hall.
In the Heights neighborhood,
two men Lance Smith, 23,
no known address and Terrell
Watson, 24, of Philadelphia
were caught by investigators
who had posed as buyers, police
said.
Smith agreed to sell MDMA,
or Ecstasy, to undercover of-
cers near the Sherman Hills
apartment complex, police said.
Police say they captured him as
he tried to ee.
Watson was arrested near
Horton and Roosevelt streets,
where police say he agreed to sell
heroin to undercover ofcers.
Police allege Watson was in pos-
session of heroin and marijuana.
Three people were arrested in
a North Main Street apartment
that they allegedly used as a base
for selling heroin. The apartment
was subsequently shut down
under the citys new, one-strike
ordinance that orders any rental
unit used for illegal drug or vio-
lent activity to be shuttered for
six months.
Daryl Minor, 21, of North
Main Street, agreed to sell hero-
in to undercover police near the
apartment, police said. He and
an associate, Ahmed Hunt, 21, of
River Street, were arrested when
police arrived. Police searched
the apartment, where they found
Paul Olivio, 22, who tried to
escape, they said.
Police allegedly found about
$10,00o worth of raw and pack-
aged heroin and rearm ammu-
nition in the apartment.
Kaitlyn Cleary, 19, of Maple
Street, the sixth suspect, was
arrested on an outstanding
arrest warrant on felony drug
trafcking charges from a previ-
ous investigation, according to
police.
The arrests resulted from col-
laborated investigations by a
state police vice unit and the city
police drug task force. Mayor
Tom Leighton applauded the
teams for their efforts, in the
press release, and said he hopes
lawbreakers realize theyre not
welcome in Wilkes-Barre.
It sends a strong message not
only to those involved in drug
trafcking but also to our good
residents that we are commit-
ted to cleaning up our neighbor-
hoods, Leighton said.

Cancer survivors
celebrate faith
GERI GIBBONS
Times Leader Correspondent
WILKES-BARRE
Participants at the 21st
annual Cancer Survivors
Celebration celebrated the
strength of a circle on
Saturday afternoon as 50
survivors, caretakers and
medical professionals gath-
ered to share their stories.
Attendees, hand in
hand, formed a Circle of
Survivors as each told their
stories of faith, courage and
gratitude as they battled
cancer. The event was
sponsored by the Northeast
Regional Cancer Institute.
Laura Toole, director of
community and patient ser-
vices at Northeast, remind-
ed attendees that nothing is
stronger than a circle.
Pat Lawless opened the
time of sharing by likening
faith, so important to many
of those faced with the dis-
ease, to a seamstress who
is able to repair lives that
might seem broken. Many
attendees also emphasized
the importance of their faith
as they made it from diag-
nosis to treatment and, ulti-
mately, recovery.
Joe Ferguson, co-chair-
man and cancer survivor,
said he was grateful the
event provided an oppor-
tunity to spend time with
others whose lives had
been affected by cancer.
Although having cancer cer-
tainly means additional chal-
lenges, he said, it is also an
opportunity to grow.
Jeff Thomas, an esopha-
geal cancer survivor, said
the quality of his life has
improved since he was rst
diagnosed. He has been
motivated to improve his
physical health and to build
valued relationships with
other survivors. The journey
had made him a more com-
passionate person, he said.
Thomas, a facilitator of
the YMCAs Livestrong
program, said the program
offers physical activity and
well-being programs for
those whose lives have
been affected by cancer. He
stressed the importance of
caring for the caregivers
as a means of achieving
healthy lifestyle for survi-
vors and their families in the
long term.
Kathleen Zahorsky said
dealing with cancer was
simply a pothole of life.
She credited the medical
community, family members
and the fellowship of other
survivors with helping her
move forward in spite of
challenges.
Many attendees shared
that, although grateful for
recovery and the opportu-
nity to get to know others,
the treatment itself was dif-
cult and the recovery pro-
cess sometimes slow and
frustrating. They found the
support provided by survi-
vors events invaluable.
The experience of hav-
ing cancer and now being
a survivor taught me how
to truly live, said Jean
Connolly, Plymouth, I
truly enjoy everything
about every day.
The circle concluded with
a moment of silence for
those people who had been
lost to the disease, with the
ringing of bells by those par-
ticipating.
Northeast Regional
Cancer Institute is a non-
prot, community-based
agency focused on support-
ing those impacted by can-
cer. The institute partners
with other area entities
including Geisinger Medical
Center and Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital.

KINGSTON Employees
and customers evacuated the
Walgreens along Wyoming
Avenue on Saturday when
a caller threatened to turn
the store into ashes if his
demands were not met.
It was the second bomb
threat in as many days for
the pharmacy chains stores
in Luzerne County. The
Memorial Highway loca-
tion in Dallas was evacuated
Friday after a similar call that
drew police and bomb-sniff-
ing dogs. Luzerne County
Emergency Management
Agency Coordinator Stephen
Bekanich led his bomb-sniff-
ing Labrador around and
inside the building Saturday.
Someone placed Saturdays
call at about 12:45 p.m.,
according to an employee who
asked not to be identied.
The caller made demands
of the employee and said, if he
did not comply, in 5 minutes
the building would become
ashes.
The caller had a strong for-
eign accent and introduced
himself, though his name was
inaudible, the employee said.
An employee memo was
just delivered warning about
the Dallas incident when the
phone rang, the employee
said.
Nine temporarily displaced
employees sat on a curb,
watching police and directing
confused customers. About an
hour and a half later, Bekanich
told employees they were safe
to return.
This type of incident is dif-
cult to investigate because
there is no context, Bekanich
said.
If the conversation allows,
those threatened should lis-
ten for any information that
might help in an investiga-
tion. Bekanich suggested pay-
ing attention for details such
as these:
The time the call was
made.
A call-back number, per-
haps from a caller ID.
A voice description.
Any sounds behind the
caller to help investigators
know from where the call is
coming.
If receiving a threatening
call, employees and busi-
ness owners should evacuate
immediately and call 911.
The investigation into
Saturdays incident is to be
passed to Kingston detectives,
said Kingston police Ofcer
George Kocher, though he
surmised they, too, will have a
hard time following up because
they have little information.

Might adopt?
Center can help
The Childrens Service Center will

Many times, parents looking to
adopt overlook the fact that there
are many children and adolescents
in the Wyoming Valley desperately in
need of loving and caring families,
said Mike Hopkins, president and

Native American history plus old-time crafts and music play a part in cultural bonanza Saturday
RALPH NARDONE
Times Leader Correspondent
PITTSTON The communities
of the Pittston area share a rich and
diverse history, according to mem-
bers of the Greater Pittston Cultural
Coalition, a group that on Saturday
showcased a bit of that history during
the Greater Pittston Riverfest.
The fth annual event was held in
Riverfront Park. It offered attendees
the chance to learn details about the
ancient Native Americans who occu-
pied the area from 10,000 B.C., said
Keith Moss, the coalitions vice presi-
dent.
Event goers also learned about crafts
such as soap, basket, arrowhead, gem
and carpet making, learned about local
archaeological artifacts, listened to live
music, enjoyed food, vendors and vari-
ous childrens activities.
The festival highlights all of the
unique attributes of the Pittston area,
Moss said.
The coalition tries to raise interest
through the festival and other events
throughout the year, all of which pro-
mote and celebrate the multi-ethnic
culture and long history of the Pittston
Area, he said.
Al Pesotine, a coalition member,
added there is a lack of awareness
among many area youth about the
areas history.
The schools dont focus on local his-
tory as much as they should, Pesotine
said. The youth should appreciate
the past struggles to understand why
things are the way they are now. It was
very tough back then. Neighbor knew
neighbor and they relied on each other
to survive, he added.
Durland Siglan, a coalition member
and member of the Mohawk Nation,
organized participation from sev-
eral members of the regions Native
American nations. They performed
traditional songs and dances and
talked about their ancestors lives in
Northeast Pennsylvania.
We tell our history in a way we know
it, he said. We were not heathens.
We built our whole society around our
families and clans.
Anyone wishing to volunteer with
the coalition can contact Moss at 570-
840-2501 or Joe Savokinas, the groups
president, at 570-883-2784.

West Side Trail backers mark progress
EILEEN GODIN
Times Leader Correspondent
WEST WYOMING Step by step,
the dream of establishing the West Side
Trail is becoming a reality, as evidenced
Saturday morning by the dedication at
Daily Park in West Wyoming of phase
two of the urban pathway.
The half-hour ceremony ofcially
opened an additional 2 miles of the trail
system, a Safe Route to School project.
Phase two included sidewalk repairs,
increased sidewalk accessibility and
landscaping along Eighth Street in West
Wyoming, Tenth Street in Wyoming,
and Erie, Memorial and Penn Avenue,
Exeter.
West Side Trail Commission mem-
bers Karen Szwast, of Exeter, and Bill
Goldsworthy, of West Pittston, helped
to power this project and, along the way,
found themselves building relationships
with ofcials from municipalities, the
school district and various governmental
agencies.
The ceremony drew about 100 peo-
ple, including state Sen. John Yudichak,
D-Plymouth Township, state Rep. Phyllis
Mundy, D-Kingston, Bob Morgan, repre-
senting Congressman Matt Cartwrights
ofce, West Wyoming Mayor Joseph
Herbert, John Bolin, president of the
Wyoming Area School District board,
and many residents, business owners
and bicycle enthusiasts.
Goldsworthy, former mayor of West
Pittston and member of Gov. Tom
Corbetts Northeast Regional ofce, said
it is great to see the trail growing.
The West Side Trail master plan,
developed in 2000, calls for 19 miles of
pathways, linking the West Side Trail
to the Wyoming Valley Levee Trail, the
Back Mountain Trail, and through West
Pittston and connecting to the Pittston
River Walk.
So far, 4 miles have been completed.
To develop its vision, The West
Side Trail Commission has received
$2,128,635 in funding from sources
such as the Pennsylvania Department
of Conservation and Natural Resources,
Luzerne County and local governments,
Szwast said.
Yudichak praised the work of local gov-
ernment ofcials, the community, and
state and federal representatives. This
is a regional asset, he said. This repre-
sents communities working together for
the betterment, improved quality of life
and safety of our children.
Morgan said the ribbon-cutting cer-
emony should celebrate the foresight of
communities working together. This
is how our government works best, he
said.
The new trail will take pedestrians
through residential areas, past busi-
nesses and recreational areas, while cre-
ating a safe walking area to three out of
four schools within the Wyoming Area
School District.
Bolin said the trail systems is an out-
standing idea, and he plans to challenge
the students, when they return following
the districts teachers strike, to walk with
him from the Daily Park to the schools.
The goal of the trail is to promote an
active healthy lifestyle and provide chil-
dren with a safe route to schools, Szwast
said.
West WyomingMayor JosephHerbert,
who lives along the trails route, said he
already has seen the amount of families
using the new sidewalks triple. It is the
best thing to happen to this area, he
said.
One of several bicycle enthusiasts on
hand, Rick Williams of Kingston, said
he thought the new branch of the trail
systems is great. It is good for the econ-
omy, and for health and safety of the resi-
dents, he said.

Retailers hard-pressed to stock hunting ammo
Some sporting goods
store owners concerned
of shortage during
peak fall season
The Associated Press
ERIE A national
shortage of rearms
ammunition is start-
ing to be felt at some
sporting goods stores in
Pennsylvania as hunters
begin loading up for deer
and other fall hunting sea-
sons.
3 killed in
blaze at
Dunmore
residence
The Associated Press
DUNMORE Three
people died in an early
morning re in the bor-
ough, authorities said
Saturday.
The Lackawanna
County coroners ofce
said a man and two
women were killed in the
apartment re.
The identities of the
victims were not immedi-
ately released.
The coroners ofce
said the re broke out just
before 2 a.m.
The building where the
re broke out houses a
ground-oor beauty sup-
ply store and ve apart-
ments above it.
A police ofcer was
taken to a hospital after
breathing in too much
smoke, authorities said.
State Fire Marshal
Trooper John Chervanka
told the Times-Tribune
of Scranton that the re
began on the second oor
of the building.
A Dunmore police of-
cer who was passing by
noticed smoke coming
from the building and
alerted residents.
Eight of them escaped
from the building without
any injuries, Chervanka
said.
The re was under
investigation, but
Chervanka said it did not
appear that foul play was
involved.
Certain retailers are
worrying about whether
their supplies of ammu-
nition will hold up, The
Erie Times-News report-
ed Saturday.
Salesman Joel Stafford
of Edinboro Outdoors
says its supply isnt too
bad for the moment, but
he predicts that its going
to be tight.
Owner Dan Seaman of
Elk Creek Sports Store in
Lake City says hes hav-
ing a hard time nding
a reasonable amount of
ammunition that hunt-
ers would normally use,
and customers eventu-
ally could be forced to pay
higher prices for whatev-
er remains.
People dont realize
there isnt going to be
much hunting ammo out
there, Seaman said.
Dave Wurst, the owner
of Presque Isle Gun Shop,
said customers likely will
be forced to buy differ-
ent brands or varieties
in their quest to nd the
right caliber.
Deer season starts Dec.
2.
A few store owners say
the ammunition short-
age is caught in a vicious
cycle as people scramble
to stock up.
The shortages hit ear-
lier this year when ammu-
nition for smaller .22-cali-
ber, 9 mm and .380-cali-
ber rearms started to
become scarce.
As a result, manufactur-
ers shifted away from the
then-well-stocked hunting
rifle ammunition, includ-
ing rounds like .30-06,
.30-30 or .308, Seaman
said.
Rich Weber, president
of the Erie Sport Store,
said .22-caliber rounds
are in such short supply
that he limits customers
in how much they can buy
at one time and he doesnt
know yet whether he will
impose the same limits
on purchases of hunting
ammunition.
People dont realize there isnt going to be
much hunting ammo out there.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands
Technical experts at
the Organization for the
Prohibition of Chemical
Weapons were reviewing
Saturday a further disclosure
from Syria about its chemical
weapons program.
A day earlier, the body that
polices the global treaty out-
lawing chemical weapons said
it had received a preliminary
submission from Syria.
No details have been
released of what is in the
Syrian declarations, and
OPCW spokesman Michael
Luhan refused to give any
more information about the
latest submission.
Under a U.S.-Russia agree-
ment aimed at swiftly ridding
Syria of its chemical arsenal,
Damascus had until Saturday
to submit a full list to the
organization of its chemical
weapons and production facil-
ities so they can be secured
and destroyed.
U.S. ofcials said last week
that Washington and Moscow
agreed that Syria had roughly
1,100 tons of chemical weap-
ons agents and precur-
sors, including blister
agents, such as sulfur
and mustard gas and
nerve agents like sarin.
In the aftermath of
the U.N. report that
concluded sarin had
been used in an Aug.
21 attack in Damascus, the
Hague-based chemical weap-
ons watchdog is looking for
ways to fast-track moves to
secure and destroy Syrias
arsenal of poison gas and
nerve agents as well as its pro-
duction facilities.
However, diplomatic efforts
to speed up the process are
moving slowly. A meeting
initially scheduled for today
at which the organizations
41-nation executive council
was tohave discussed
a U.S.-Russian plan
to swiftly rid Syria
of chemical weap-
ons was postponed
Friday. No new date
has yet been set for
the meeting and no
reason given for its
postponement.
Under the U.S.-Russia
agreement brokered last
weekend in Geneva, inspec-
tors will be on the ground in
Syria by November. During
that month, they are to com-
plete their initial assessment
and all mixing and lling
equipment for chemical
weapons is to be destroyed.
All components of the chem-
ical weapons program are to
be removed from the country
or destroyed by mid-2014.
The destruction plan of
action will be backed up by a
U.N. Security Council resolu-
tion.
U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry said Friday he talked
to his Russian counterpart,
Sergey Lavrov, about Syrias
chemical weapons.
I had a fairly long con-
versation with Foreign
Minister Lavrov, Kerry said
in Washington. We talked
about the cooperation which
we both agreed to continue
to provide, moving not only
toward the adoption of the
OPCW rules and regulations,
but also a resolution that is
rm and strong within the
United Nations. We will con-
tinue to work on that.
HAMPTON, N.H.
Two dead as car
slams into cyclists
A car slammed into a group of bicy-
clists Saturday during an annual ride
along the New England coastline, killing
two riders and injuring three others,
police said.
The crash happened on a two-lane
bridge in Hampton at about 8:30 a.m.,
just after the start of the 40th annual
Granite State Wheelmen Tri-State
Seacoast Century ride.
It was not immediately clear what
caused the crash, and the victims iden-
tities were being withheld until their
families could be notied. Authorities
havent said whether the driver will be
charged.
ACAPULCO, MexiCO
Storm toll rises;
lost copter found
The Mexican government searched
for victims and continued assessing
the damage Saturday from the one-two
punch of storms Manuel and Ingrid, as a
missing Federal Police helicopter work-
ing on the rescue was found crashed. All
aboard died.
Meanwhile, in Mexico City, criticism
mounted all week in editorials and
public commentary that the govern-
ment had made natural disasters worse
because of poor planning, lack of a pre-
vention strategy and corruption.
President Enrique Pena Nieto and
Guerrero Gov. Angel Aguirre ew to the
remote mountain coffee-growing area
northwest of Acapulco near La Pintada,
the scene of the single-greatest tragedy
wreaked by the two storms.
There is little hope now that we can
nd anyone alive, Pena Nieto said after
the yover, adding that the landslide
covered at least 40 houses.
KABUL, AfgHANisTAN
Three troops
killed in attack
An Afghan wearing a security forces
uniform turned his weapon against
foreign troops Saturday, killing three in
eastern Afghanistan, NATO and Afghan
ofcials said, in another apparent attack
by a member of the Afghan forces
against their international allies.
The shooting took place in Gardez,
capital of eastern Paktia province, Gen.
Mohammad Zahir Azimi, an Afghan
Defense Ministry spokesman, said. The
area, near the border with Pakistan, has
been a front line in ghting with the
Taliban and other militants.
The attack took place inside a base
of the Afghan army in the city, accord-
ing to a security ofcial in Gardez,
who spoke on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to give
details while the incident was still
under investigation.

Gen. donkey jab
gets farmer jailed
A farmer in southern Egypt was
arrested Saturday after putting the mili-
tary chiefs name and an army-style cap
on his donkey, and eight people were
detained elsewhere in the country for
spraying anti-military grafti.
The arrests point to a long-standing
taboo in Egypt against criticizing the
countrys powerful military, an offense
magnied amid the ongoing crackdown
on supporters of the countrys ousted
President Mohammed Morsi and his
Muslim Brotherhood.
The farmer, Omar Abul-Magd, was
arrested late Friday in Qena province
for allegedly insulting Gen. Abdel-
Fattah el-Sissi when he rode the don-
key through town, reported the state
MENA news agency.

Chiquita
denies
liability in
Colombian
deaths
CURT ANDERSON
AP Legal Afairs Writer
MIAMI Faced with poten-
tially billions of dollars in
legal liability, Chiquita Brands
International is asking a federal
appeals court to block lawsuits
led against it in the U.S. by
thousands of Colombians whose
relatives were killed in that coun-
trys bloody, decades-long civil
war.
The produce giant, which
long had huge banana planta-
tions in Colombia, has admitted
paying a right-wing Colombian
paramilitary group $1.7 mil-
lion over a seven-year period.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based com-
pany insists it was blackmailed
into paying or risking violence
against its own operations and
employees, although in 2007
Chiquita pleaded guilty to U.S.
criminal charges that it had sup-
ported terrorists. It paid a $25
million ne.
The Colombian lawsuits,
consolidated for pretrial action
before a federal judge in West
Palm Beach, want Chiquita held
liable for thousands of deaths
at the hands of the AUC, the
Spanish acronym for the right-
wing United Self-Defense Forces
of Colombia. The Colombian rel-
atives have won several key pre-
trial rulings, but now Chiquita is
taking its ght for dismissal to a
new level.
In essence, Chiquita wants
the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals to dismiss the lawsuits
because, the company claims,
each murder cannot be tied spe-
cically to the company. Its not
enough, Chiquitas lawyers say
in court papers, to assume the
companys payments to the AUC
meant Chiquita knew about and
supported those individual kill-
ings.
Chiquita also says the
Colombian cases should be
tossed because of a U.S. Supreme
Court ruling last April in a case
called Kiobel vs. Royal Dutch
Petroleum, which imposed new
limits on the ability of foreign-
ers to use American courts to
seek accountability and mon-
etary damages for human rights
abuses.
Any decision by the 11th
Circuit is likely months away,
adding to years Colombian fam-
ily members have already been
waiting for the lawsuits to be
resolved. The cases were con-
solidated in Florida in 2008.
Human rights groups say
many former paramilitary mem-
bers have reorganized into what
are called emerging criminal
bands involved in extortion and
racketeering.
Chiquitas lawyers say the
Colombians do not allege a
single fact that links Chiquita
to any of the acts of violence
at issue, much less that suggest
Chiquita wanted the violence to
happen.
High levels of generality are
all that plaintiffs have offered,
Chiquita says in the ling.
Produce giant, however,
admits it paid right-wing
paramilitary group
$1.7 million
Al-Qaida-linked gunmen remain holed up with an unknown number of hostages
JASON STRAZIUSO
Associated Press
NAIROBI, Kenya Terried shop-
pers huddled in back hallways and
prayed they would not be found by the
Islamic extremist gunmen lobbing gre-
nades and ring assault ries inside
Nairobis top mall Saturday. When the
coast was thought to be clear, crying
mothers clutching small children and
blood-splattered men sprinted out of
the four-story mall.
At least 39 people were killed and
more than 150 wounded in the assault,
Kenyas president announced on nation-
al TV, while disclosing that his close
family members were among the dead.
Foreigners were among the casual-
ties. Frances president said that two
French women were killed, and there
were reports of American citizens
injured, but the U.S. State Department
said it had no further details.
Early Sunday morning, 12 hours
after the attack began, gunmen
remained holed up inside the mall
with an unknown number of hostages.
President Uhuru Kenyatta called the
security operation under way delicate
and said a top priority was to safeguard
hostages.
As the attack unfolded shortly after
noon Saturday, the al-Qaida-linked
gunmen asked the victims they had
cornered if they were Muslim: If the
answer was yes, several witnesses said,
those people were free to go. The non-
Muslims were not.
Somalias Islamic extremist group al-
Shabab claimed responsibility and said
the attack was retribution for Kenyan
forces 2011 push into Somalia. The
rebels threatened more attacks.
Al-Shabab said on its Twitter feed
that Kenyan security ofcials were try-
ing to open negotiations. There will be
no negotiations whatsoever, al-Shabab
tweeted.
As night fell in Kenyas capital, two
contingents of army special forces
troops moved inside the mall.
Police and military surrounded the
huge shopping complex as helicopters
buzzed overhead. An Associated Press
reporter said he saw a wounded Kenyan
soldier put into an ambulance at night-
fall, an indication, perhaps, of a continu-
ing shoot-out inside.
Witnesses said at least ve gunmen
including at least one woman rst
attacked an outdoor cafe at Nairobis
Westgate Mall, a shiny, new shopping
center that hosts Nike, Adidas and Bose
stores. The malls ownership is Israeli,
and security experts have long said the
structure made an attractive terrorist
target.
The attack began shortly after noon
with bursts of gunre and grenades.
Shoppers expatriates and rich
Kenyans ed in any direction that
might be safe: into back corners of
stores, back service hallways and bank
vaults. Over the next several hours,
pockets of people poured out of the mall
as undercover police moved in. Some of
the wounded were moved out in shop-
ping carts.
We started by hearing gunshots
downstairs and outside. Later we heard
them come inside. We took cover. Then
we saw two gunmen wearing black tur-
bans. I saw them shoot, said Patrick
Kuria, an employee at Artcaffe, the res-
taurant with shady outdoor seating.
Frank Mugungu, an off-duty army
sergeant major, said he saw four male
attackers and one female attacker. One
was Somali, he said, but the others
were black, suggesting that they could
have been Kenyan or another national-
ity.

Gunmans employer contacts Navy for more work
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON A
little more than 24 hours
after an IT contractor shot
a dozen workers at the
Washington Navy Yard, the
companys CEO told the
Navy secretary he had the
experience to help improve
military security.
Theemail fromTheExperts
chief Thomas Hoshko, which
included descriptions of his
background and expertise,
stunned some Navy leaders
in the wake of the shootings
Monday that left 13 people
dead, including the gunman,
former Navy reservist Aaron
Alexis.
The correspondence also
fueled concern about what
defense ofcials believe
might have been failures
by the company to alert the
military about Alexis appar-
ent mental health problems.
In the email, which The
Associated Press obtained,
Hoshko said he was dra-
matically affected by the
shootings and wrote that
my heart and prayers go out
to the families and friends of
those innocent victims.
But the email quickly
moves on, with Hoshko lay-
ing out his work experience
and offering his services.
He wrote that he was con-
fident that I can provide
valuable input and solu-
tions to the process that
will provide better security
for the military, contractors
and civilians.
Navy ofcials conrmed
that email was sent to
Secretary Ray Mabus. They
declined to characterize its
contents.
Florida-based The Experts
declined comment.

Habitat is a non-prot
Christian housing minis-
try that has been working
to provide safe, affordable
housing to families in need
across America and inter-
nationally for more than 30
years. It is not a hand-out,
organizers stress, with par-
ticipating families required
not only to pay off a mort-
gage, but help build or
renovate the home in which
they will live.
Habitat Executive
Director Karen Evans
Kaufer and board member
David J. Harris said they
could not speak to issues
regarding specic home-
owners, but did conrm
that agency policy does not
permit mortgage holders to
lease their homes.
The agency has proce-
dures in place for dealing
with issues involving home-
owners, Evans Kaufer said,
but those procedures take
time.
I have a hardworking
staff, a hardworking board.
Any time there is any issue,
we are on top of it,she
said.
Schaffer also led a right-
to-know request with the
city of Wilkes-Barre, seek-
ing documentation regard-
ing the propertys zoning
and whether the Simpsons
had led any rental inspec-
tion or license request.
Among the documents he
received in return was a
Nov. 13 receipt for a $70
inspection fee. The receipt
does not clarify what type
of inspection was per-
formed.
City investigation
The city is unable to
comment on this case while
it is under investigation and
all of the facts have been
sorted out, spokeswoman
Liza Prokop said last week
when asked about whether
ofcials have received any
complaints about the prop-
erty.
News photos from
November 2009 show
members of Habitats board
presenting the keys to John
Simpson, who with his wife
spent more than 400 hours
of work sweat equity,
in Habitat parlance
transforming the building
donated by Dr. and Mrs.
Eugene Pelczar into a home
suitable for themselves and
their ve children.
Everyone walked away
with something to smile
about: Pelczar saw his for-
mer building put to good
use, the Simpsons worked
their way into a home and a
mortgage and Habitat could
claim its 16th successful
home project, with the
Simpsons mortgage pay-
ments helping fund the con-
struction and renovation of
other Habitat homes.
The benet is, people
who might not have the
opportunity to become
homeowners are given the
opportunity to become
homeowners, Evans
Kaufer said Friday.
We have helped 55 chil-
dren, she added. Those
are 55 children who will
hopefully have better
opportunities, children
who we hope will grow up
and become second-genera-
tion homeowners.
Described in 2009 news
reports, 171 Stanton St.
was one of Habitats most
complex efforts up until
that time.
At 1,700-square-feet,
it was about 600-square-
feet larger than Habitat
was accustomed to han-
dling. The building also
had a at roof, so workers
added a pitched roof to
give it a more residential
feel. Evans Kaufer also
described in contemporary
reports how an architect
was brought in to create
plans for a ve-bedroom
layout suitable for the fam-
ily of seven.
Beyond sweat equity,
other requirements for
home applicants also
were described in a 2009
story: they must have been
Luzerne County residents
for a year; have the ability
to pay a 20-year, no-inter-
est $55,000 mortgage and
other household expenses;
be a rst-time homeowner;
and have a solid credit his-
tory.
Habitat houses are
affordable for low-income
families because there is
no prot included in the
sale price and no interest
charged on the mortgage,
according to the local
groups website.
A review of the
Simpsons mortgage, on
le with Luzerne County,
did not reveal any specic
prohibition on rental in
that document. Harris said
such language, if included,
could be part of separate,
private loan documents
between Habitat and bor-
rowers, but again he said
he could not comment on
whether this is true with
respect to the Stanton
Street home.
I can tell you there are
different documents in
each case, Harris said.
Habitat prohibitions
A Times Leader review
of websites maintained
by other Habitat chapters
around the nation showed
prohibitions on renting out
Habitat homes commonly
listed on frequently asked
questions pages for poten-
tial homeowners.
Schaffer said he has left
several messages for Evans
Kaufer inquiring about
the status of 171 Stanton
St., and was told only that
Habitat was looking into
it.
Evans Kaufer reiterated
that she could not speak to
specics, but said the agen-
cy is diligent with respect
to issues involving its prop-
erties.
We are doing every-
thing in our ability to rem-
edy any issue we have with
Habitat homes, she said.
That includes appropri-
ate legal action, but legal
action takes time, Evans
Kaufer added.
Schaffer said he and
other neighbors dont have
a problem with the people
they say are living in the
home decent folks, in
his words. They just want
to be sure the property is
being used the way donors
and volunteers envisioned.
I want to let you know
that I am not trying to
bash the organization,
but believe that people
who donate their time
and money to this charity
should be made aware of
the problems that do arise,
Schaffer said.

The city is investigating allegations made by neighbors about this Stanton Street home.
From page 1A
Habitat
were seeking ways to
honor the aging men.
Decoration Day (now
known as Memorial Day),
declared soon after the
Civil War, had already
become a national holiday.
Not for recreation but for
placing owers and memo-
rials on the graves of vet-
erans, whose tombstones
generally highlighted their
military service right down
to regiment and company.
In some local cemeter-
ies, veterans graves were
placed together, as if
marching off to eternity,
still in ranks.
From about 1900 on, the
deaths of veterans were
marked by newspaper
obituaries that often ran as
lengthy news stories, with
headlines using military
imagery and biographies
highlighting their war-
time service. It was a far
more extensive treatment
than most non-veterans
received in that day.
Typical was the 1925
Wilkes-Barre Record obit-
uary for James F. Kirk, a
New Yorker who settled in
Wilkes-Barre after the war
and worked 50 years as a
baggage supervisor for the
Lehigh Valley Railroad.
Civil War vet answers
taps, read the main head-
line in large type, alluding
to the tune played at mili-
tary funerals. Fine war
record, was printed below
it, with the article listing
his company and regiment
and detailing his service in
the battles of Bull Run, the
Seven Days, Gaines Mill,
Alexandria, Antietam and
Fredericksburg, names
that well into the 20th cen-
tury still struck awe.
Peter M. Austins obitu-
ary was headed, in large
type, with a dramatic Last
Veteran Gone and was
accompanied by a photo of
him in his old forage cap.
In the 1920s, the com-
munity found an imagi-
native and enduring way
to honor the men by
memorializing the name
of their beloved organiza-
tion. In October of 1922,
four elderly veterans, once
again in uniform, helped
lay the cornerstone for
Wilkes-Barres new high
school, GAR Memorial,
aptly located between
streets named for generals
Grant and Sherman, and
containing in its foyer a
frieze depicting Civil War
soldiers.
Another planned honor,
however, failed to materi-
alize. A 1931 groundbreak-
ing for a massive Public
Square clock tower, again
by a group of veterans in
uniform, came to nothing
when Luzerne County, fac-
ing demands of the Great
Depression, could not
come up with the funding.
By the end of the 1920s,
so few of the original mem-
bers of the Conyngham
Post remained, that the
group found it necessary
to rent out their GAR Hall.
Part of it became a movie
theater.
It was in a spirit of grati-
tude to a passing genera-
tion that the touching rit-
ual was played out in 1928
by the borough of Luzerne,
where the areas military
training ground, Camp
Luzerne, had been built in
the long-ago 1860s.
When Comrade
Austins casket is low-
ered into the grave at the
Forty Fort Cemetery next
Monday afternoon, there
will be interred with it an
American ag, which was
purchased by school chil-
dren of Luzerne Borough
and presented to the vet-
erans of that town many
years ago, said The Times
Leader.
It has been used to
drape the casket of every
member of the Grand
Army of Luzerne since
that time. Some years ago
the veterans decided that
it should be buried with
the last of their number.
The last Civil War vet-
eran from the Wilkes-Barre
area, Charles Rhenard,
died in 1939. Luzerne
Countys last Civil War
veteran, Alfred W. Gabrio
of Hazleton, once the state
GAR commander, died
in 1946 at age 100. The
South Main Street GAR
Hall was demolished in
the 1960s under a federal
urban redevelopment pro-
gram. Aparkade nowoccu-
pies the site. The Sons of
Union Veterans of the Civil
War, successor to the old
GAR, has a Northeastern
Pennsylvania chapter.

Civil War
MACKINAC ISLAND,
Mich. A clear divide
over the health care law
separates the emerging
eld of potential GOP
candidates for the 2016
presidential race, preview-
ing the battles ahead as
they try to rebuild their
party and seize the White
House.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz says
he will ght with every
breath to stop President
Barack Obamas signature
domestic achievement,
even if that means shut-
ting down parts of the
federal government. Its
an approach that former
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush
calls quite dicey politi-
cally for Republicans. Sen.
Rand Paul of Kentucky
says atly that a shutdown
is a dumb idea.
Im acknowledging we
probably cant defeat or
get rid of Obamacare,
Paul told reporters
Saturday while attend-
ing a Republican confer-
ence in Michigan. But by
starting with our position
of not funding it maybe
we get to a position where
we make it less bad.
Allied on the other side
with Cruz are U.S. Sen.
Marco Rubio of Florida
and others who say they
are making a principled
stand, willing to oppose
the law at all costs.
Then there are those
taking what they call
a pragmatic approach
by accepting the law, if
grudgingly, and moving
on. This group includes
Govs. Chris Christie of
New Jersey and Scott
Walker of Wisconsin, who
says a shutdown would
violate the public trust.
The government we
have should work, so thats
why I dont believe we
should shut the govern-
ment down, Walker told
reporters at the Michigan
conference.
The Republican-
controlled House passed a
short-term spending plan
Friday that would con-
tinue funding government
operations through mid-
December while withhold-
ing money for the health
law.
Some GOP lawmak-
ers also advocate holding
back on increasing the
nations borrowing limit,
which could result in a
rst-ever default, unless
the law is brought down.
Obama used his weekly
radio and Internet address
Saturday to scold a fac-
tion on the far right of
the Republican Party,
and he said he would not
allow anyone to harm
this countrys reputation
or threaten to inict eco-
nomic pain on millions
of our own people, just
to make an ideological
point.
While attending the
Michigan conference,
Paul said Republicans
could force a vote in both
houses of Congress, then
negotiate changes to leg-
islation in a joint confer-
ence committee.
Health lawseparates
potential Republican
contenders for 2016
Views range from hard-line stance of Sen. Cruz
to the pragmatic approach of Gov. Christie

Howwill Pennsylvania pay for more elderly on Medicaid?
State spends more than $23,000 per year for each of the older residents in program
MARC LEVY
Associated Press
HARRISBURG Gov.
Tom Corbetts plan to
extend taxpayer-paid
health insurance to hun-
dreds of thousands of the
working poor came with
his repeated warnings
that it is not an expan-
sion of Medicaid and that
he would not expand an
entitlement program that
he views as already too
costly, bloated and ineffec-
tive.
What went without
mention by Corbett,
however, is the driving
force behind the cost of
Pennsylvanias Medicaid
program: the elderly who
need nursing home care
or something like it on a
long-term basis.
When you talk about
the escalating cost of the
(Medicaid) system, you
cant get around it with-
out attacking the long-
term care problem that
we have, said Michael
Rosenstein, who repre-
sents the arms of private
insurers and hospitals that
are paid by Pennsylvania
to manage the care of 1.6
million Medicaid enroll-
ees.
Nearly half of the states
2.2 million Medicaid
enrollees are children.
More than 900,000 elder-
ly and disabled receive
Medicaid services, wheth-
er to stay in a nursing
home, receive help in their
homes with tasks they
have difculty doing or
health care services.
Then theres the cost.
Statistics from the
Medicaid and CHIP
Payment Access
Commission in
Washington, D.C., or
MACPAC for short, show
that Pennsylvania spends
more than $23,000 per
year for each of the elder-
ly persons on Medicaid
among the costli-
est in the nation and
$15,700 per year for each
of the disabled persons on
Medicaid. The price tag
for someone to stay in a
nursing home is around
$60,000 a year.
Those gures dwarf
the cost of covering the
kind of working-age, able-
bodied adult who would
primarily benet from the
use of Medicaid expan-
sion money that becomes
available Jan. 1 under
President Barack Obamas
signature health care
law. For example, each
able-bodied adult who
is already on Medicaid
because they are destitute
or are a low-income par-
ent costs only $4,600 to
insure each year, accord-
ing MACPACs informa-
tion.
Meanwhile, the elderly
continue to be the fast-
est growing group of
Medicaid recipients in
Pennsylvania, which is
among the nations oldest
states.
The question of what to
do about the cost to care
for the growing number of
elderly on Medicaid is not
a new one.
The Medicaid man-
aged care companies in
Rosensteins group are
lobbying to extend their
services to also include
nursing care for the elderly
and disabled, a move they
say would save money and
improve quality of life.
The AARP is press-
ing for Pennsylvania to
catch up to other states
in expanding the role of
attendants who take care
of the elderly in private or
community homes.
Meanwhile, some nurs-
ing home operators insist
the Medicaid enrollees
in their care cannot get
the 24-hour care that
they need anywhere
else. Rather, they say the
growth of the elderly on
Medicaid is due to the
expansion of in-home ser-
vices that has displaced
the role once lled by fam-
ily and friends.
Ronald Barth, whose
organization represents
a range of not-for-prot
businesses that provide
services to the elderly
from nursing home care to
daytime services, said the
state needs to update its
Medicaid reimbursement
system to provide better
access for the elderly to
a wider range of services
that often cost less than a
nursing home. The reim-
bursement system is root-
ed in the 1960s, when peo-
ple didnt live as long and
were more likely to have
able-bodied family mem-
bers nearby, Barth said.
We have the old-old to
care for now, Barth said.
Medicaid and Medicare
were created when the
lifespans of people were
not reaching the mid-80s
and the 90s and mid-90s
the way they are today.
Tucked into Corbetts
plan to use the federal
Medicaid dollars to
extend health insurance
to an estimated 520,000
low-income adults is a
pledge to create a Long-
Term Care Commission
to recommend best prac-
tices that improve the
coordination of care for
all Pennsylvanians in
need of long-term care
services and support.
There were few details
beyond that.
We dont know
what the results of that
could be, as far as pol-
icy changes, said Ray
Landis of the AARP of
Pennsylvania. Im hop-
ing that, since that was
in there, its a recognition
that that is a big cost driv-
er in Medicaid.

RICARDOALONSO-ZALDIVAR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Getting
covered through President
Barack Obamas health care law
might feel like a combination
of doing your taxes and mak-
ing a big purchase that requires
research.
Youll need accurate income
information for your household,
plus some understanding of how
health insurance works, so you
can get the nancial assistance
you qualify for and pick a health
plan thats right for your needs.
The process involves federal
agencies verifying your identity,
citizenship and income, and you
have to sign that you are provid-
ing truthful information, subject
to perjury laws.
You heard it was going to be
like buying airline tickets online?
Not quite. But even if the process
triggers some anxiety, its not the
government poking in your med-
ical records, as Obamacare
foes have suggested.
After state health insurance
markets open Oct. 1, consum-
ers can apply online, via a call
center, in person or by mail.
Trained helpers are supposed to
be available, but there may not
be enough of them.
The main steps are:
Identify yourself and your
family members.
Provide current information
on income, jobs and any avail-
able health insurance options.
Learn how much fnancial
assistance youre entitled to.
Shop for a health plan and
enroll.
Many people, ranging from
lower-income workers to the
solid middle class, will qualify
for tax credits to help buy a pri-
vate plan through the state mar-
kets. The government will send
money directly to your insurer,
and youll make arrangements
to pay any remaining premium.
The poor and near-poor will
be steered to Medicaid in states
that agree to expand that pro-
gram.
Heres an overview of what
to expect applying online, with
tips:
Go to healthcare.gov and
click on Get Insurance. The
site has links to every state mar-
ket. Youll set up an account and
password. Youll provide your
contact information and the
best way to reach you.
Tip Treat your password
like a bank account or credit
card password. Its not a good
idea to set it as 1234567.
Now you can tackle the actual
application. Youll need birth
dates and Social Security num-
bers for yourself and other fam-
ily members listed on your fed-
eral tax return.
Youll also be asked if youre
a citizen. Legal immigrants will
need their immigration docu-
ments.
Tip You dont have to plow
through the entire application in
one sitting. You can save your
work and come back later.
Next, youll be asked about
income.
You may need your most
recent tax return, pay stubs
and details on other kinds of
income, such as alimony, pen-
sions and rents. You can still
apply if you havent led a tax
return. Youll also be asked
about access to health insur-
ance through your job. You
may be required to take that
insurance if available.
Your personal and income
details will be routed through
a new government entity called
the data services hub, which
will ping agencies like Social
Security, Homeland Security
and the Internal Revenue
Service for verication. The
feds will also rely on a major pri-
vate credit reporting company
to verify income and employ-
ment.
How smoothly all this works
is one of the big unknowns. It
could get tedious if discrepan-
cies take time to resolve.
Tip Provide the most accu-
rate estimate of your expected
income for 2014. Lowball the
number, and you might see
a smaller tax refund in 2015.
Overestimate and you wont get
as big a tax credit now.
If youre like most people,
youll be getting a tax credit
to help pay your premiums.
The credits are based on your
income and keyed to the premi-
um for a benchmark plan known
as the second-lowest cost silver
plan in your area.
With your tax credit, you
can nally shop for insurance.
Beware: youll probably have to
live with your decision until the
next annual enrollment period.
Youll have up to four levels
of coverage to consider: bronze,
silver, gold and platinum. Plans
at every metal level cover the
same benets and have a cap of
$6,350 a year in out-of-pocket
expenses for an individual,
$12,700 for families.
Bronze plans generally have
the lowest premiums, but cover
only 60 percent of medical
costs on average. Policyholders
will pay the difference, up to
the annual out of pocket cap.
Platinum plans have the high-
est premiums, but cover 90
percent of costs. Young adults
up to age 30 can pick a skinny
catastrophic plan but you
cant use your tax credit on a
catastrophic plan.
Tip Make sure your doc-
tors and hospitals are in the plan
you pick. You may have to check
the plans own website, or call
your doctor.
Tip Your share of the pre-
mium could be lower even
zero if you apply your tax
credit to a bronze plan. Its
because the credit is keyed to
the cost of a silver plan, which is
generally more expensive.
Tip Check if you are eligi-
ble for cost-sharing subsidies,
in addition to your tax credit.
Extra help with out-of-pocket
costs is available to people with
modest incomes. But only with
a silver plan.
Head spinning?
Richard Onizuka, director of
the Washington state market,
says picking a plan could be
the most difcult step. Most of
his customers were previously
uninsured, so insurance jargon
could seem like a foreign lan-
guage.
The biggest challenge for
consumers will be understand-
ing health insurance and how to
purchase it, he said.
Applying for health insurance? Theres homework involved
Consumers can apply online, via a call
center, in person or by mail, but you
are advised to come prepared

mandates under the
Affordable Care Act, includ-
ing the requirement to
cover all people, regardless
of their medical condition,
and to provide coverage for
10 new essential benets
that include mental health
treatment and maternity
care.
Glen Melnick, a health
economist at the University
of Southern California,
said he believes many
younger singles who are
self-employed will decide
against buying health
insurance despite the gov-
ernment mandate, opting
instead to pay the ne.
Theyre going to decide
not to play. They are risk-
takers to begin with, he
said.
Yet the additional ben-
ets under the law could
outweigh the added costs
for some, said Dylan
Roby, assistant profes-
sor and researcher at the
University of California,
Los Angeles Center for
Health Policy Research.
Another positive of the
federal reforms is the abil-
ity to more easily compar-
ison-shop between insur-
ance companies and poli-
cies, he said.
Brethorst said the
Affordable Care Act is
likely to provide freedom to
those who currently cannot
afford to escape employer-
based coverage to pursue
their own dreams.
The iPhone app devel-
oper and business consul-
tant cites as an example a
friend and colleague with
asthma. They started a
new company together a
few years ago while his
friend was buying his
insurance from a former
employer through the fed-
eral COBRA plan.
When the venture capi-
tal funding they were
seeking fell through before
his access to company
health insurance ran out,
Brethorsts friend left
for another company job
where he could get health
insurance as an employee.
Weve been talking
about working together
again at some point,
Brethorst said. Once
these provisions go into
effect, its going to be sig-
nicantly easier to go off
and pursue his entrepre-
neurial dreams.

Self-employed
Gumbravich and his part-
ner, Pat Flynn. The initia-
tive has grown to include
about 30 men fromLuzerne
County, a blended vat of dif-
ferent folks including truck
drivers and surgeons all
brought together to pur-
sue perfection in excellent
wine.
They do not sell their
product, rather they fer-
ment for their own plea-
sure and to compete
in Corrados Amateur
Winemaking Competition,
where they regularly earn
medals.
We dont call this home-
made wine. We take offense
to that, Gumbravich said.
Were amateur winemak-
ers.
The elusive grapes
chosen by a hired broker
were a Merlot variety,
picked for their high sugar
content and shipped from
California a few days ago.
They eventually arrived
at Gumbravichs winery
Saturday morning. His
garage has been converted
to hold a de-stemming
machine, a wine press and
stainless steel vats for fer-
menting. In the corner sit
tall pub tables, a resting
place where the days work
is to be enjoyed about seven
months from now.
Making wine is a long
string of irreversible deci-
sions, Gumbravich said.
Punching down the must,
a marshy vat of crushed
grapes, three times daily
instead of two will change
the avor, he said, and let-
ting the must ferment for a
week longer will change it
again.
The single most impor-
tant decision, Gumbravich
said: How much are you
going to spend on grapes?
He said they put great
trust in their broker to get
the best grapes for the fair-
est price.
Bernard Walter, a mem-
ber of the group, spoke
highly of Gumbravichs
commitment to perfection
in every detail.
A little bit of bacteria
can destroy the whole
thing, Walter said. Hes
extremely fastidious in
protecting every step of
the way. Its an example of
why hes the master wine-
maker.
Good wine stays with
you long after swallow-
ing, Walter said. He com-
pared it to tasting Greek
yogurt over regular yogurt.
When you sip and want to
lean into it, theres some-
thing there to hold you.
Ultimately, members of this
group are working to make
wine that is better than any
store-bought wine, he said.
Wine with a meal brings
sophistication and helps
dinner mates nd more
thoughtful conversa-
tion, a phenomenon to be
explained only by snifng
and sipping a glass that
goes well with the menu,
Walter said. If you sit
down and have a glass of
milk with dinner, its going
to be a very different expe-
rience than if you have a
glass of wine, he said.
The goal ultimately is to
enhance the quality of life
for us all.
There might be some
aloofness among wine
connoisseurs, those who
pride themselves in a
superior palate, but wine-
makers seemingly are a
different breed. Choosing
the grape, fermenting and
bottling bring equality for
all involved because so
many things can go wrong,
Walter said.
When confronted with
the beauty of nature, humil-
ity is a natural outcome,
Walter said. The more you
know about wine, like the
more you know about art
or anything else, the more
you realize how little you
know. That induces a feel-
ing of humility.

VOWS
Did the grandpas make this happen?
When she was in grade
school, Colleen Horn remem-
bers having sort of a crush
on Patrick Doyle.
But he was ve years older
a colossal difference at
that age. Patrick didnt really
notice the little girl in the
plaid St. Nicholas-St. Marys
uniform, though he knew she
existed because their families
had been friends for genera-
tions.
It wasnt until she was
attending Villanova University
School of Law and he was
working in the Philadelphia
District Attorneys ofce that
a gathering of Bishop Hoban
High School alums brought
them together.
In a bar lled with singing
and piano playing, Colleen
stood out.
Theres a spark about her
that makes you feel more
alive, Patrick said.
By the end of the evening,
he asked: Colleen Horn, why
arent we dating?
Thus began the courtship
that led to the couples Sept.
14 wedding at St. Nicholas
Church in Wilkes-Barre.
Both Colleen, 27, and
Patrick, 32, say it was meant
to be. On their wedding
website, they suggest their
late grandfathers, Pop-pop
George Horn and Pop Joseph
Doyle, who were best friends
and neighbors on Maxwell
Street in the East End sec-
tion of Wilkes-Barre, may have
pulled some heavenly strings
to bring the couple together.
They sincerely believe their
grandfathers had something to
do with it, said mother-of-
the-bride Mary Ellen Horn.
The young couple both
wanted to return to the
Wilkes-Barre area where they
had grown up, and Colleen
was the rst to have an oppor-
tunity to do so, thanks to a job
offer from Rosenn, Jenkins &
Greenwald.
Perhaps it was Pop and Pop-
pops doing, then, when a big
shiny car pulled up alongside
Patrick as he was walking on
Broad Street in Philadelphia.
Literally, within a week of
Colleens deciding, I was walk-
ing to work, right past City
Hall, the day after I convicted
a drug dealer, Patrick said.
When the car pulled up, I was
scared that it was a hit.
But the car contained attor-
neys William Anzalone and
Jamie Anzalone who said
theyd just been talking about
Patrick. Would he like to join
them for coffee and discuss
how they wanted to expand
their Wilkes-Barre law rm?
I loved my job in
Philadelphia, Patrick said.
But I thought, This is all sup-
posed to happen. I couldnt
say no.
Back in Northeastern
Pennsylvania, the couple of-
cially became engaged on Aug.
24, 2012, in the parking lot of
St. Nicholas Church.
It was where we both had
gone to school and where we
go to church, Colleen said,
adding the parking lot also
had been the scene of a St.
Patricks Day kiss the couple
remembers as a sign they
wanted to be together forever.
That sealed the deal,
Patrick said.
The proposal itself entailed
quite a bit of planning and
took place on a Friday when
Colleen believed she and
Patrick would be driving to the
shore. She was eager to start
the trip, but then Patricks
brother called and said he
needed his running shoes that
were in the trunk of Patricks
car. Patrick suggested the
parking lot as a meeting place
and asked Colleen to join him
in rummaging for the shoes.
It was just the two of us in
the parking lot. I said, Colleen,
I cant nd them. Will you help
me? Then I went down on one
knee.
After she said yes, the
bride-to-be was surprised by
the arrival of a limousine that
whisked the couple to her
parents home in Kingston,
where Neil and Mary Ellen
Horn had invited 100 peo-
ple to an engagement party.

The church was crowded, with about 250 of the 300 wedding guests attend-
ing the ceremony.
So, what does a
doomed airplane
have in common with
a shimmering pond?
There are movies on
television. And then there
are movies on the big
screen, in all their cin-
ematic greatness.
Bill Bachman says there
is no comparison.
The senior instructor
of communications at
Penn State Wilkes-Barre
plans to demonstrate that
when the school sponsors
Five Great Films, Five
Great Genres, a lm-and-
discussion series begin-
ning this week. Over ve
Thursday nights, movie
fans who sign up can view
and discuss the movies
Airplane! a 1980 com-
edy; On Golden Pond,
an inspirational 1981 lm;
Raiders of the Lost Ark,
a thriller, also from 1981;
The Day the Earth Stood
Still, from 1951, listed
under the Cheers catego-
ry; and High Noon, a
1952 Western.
The movies will be
shown at R/C Wilkes-
Barre Movies 14 through
Oct. 24.
We do a different topic
every semester, Bachman
said.
In the spring of 2012,
for the 100th anniver-
sary of the Titanic sink-
ing, the course included
ve different lms on the
Titanic. On the last night,
two different people who
had a family member on
the Titanic attended the
screening. One persons
mother and anothers
grandmother survived the
sinking.
For this fall, Bachman
thought about what lms
people have seen but only
on the small screen.
My current under-
grad students have never
seen Airplane! on a big
screen, he said. These
lms are picked as they
are rated by AFI, the
American Film Institute. I
know every student I have
has seen Raiders of the
Lost Ark.
But likely not on the
big screen. Bachman said
seeing the movie on a the-
aters big screen will put
the students right in the
middle of the action.
Bachman puts The Day
the Earth Stood Still,
number 67 on AFIs 100
Years 100 Cheers list,
in the Cheers category,
because it is the type of
movie in which the audi-
ence cheers for a par-
ticular character. In that
movie, an alien lands in
Washington, D.C., to deliv-
er an important message
to humanity. Bachman
said High Noon is
always listed number 1 or
2 by AFI among Westerns.
He said each of the ve
movies has characteristics
that stand out.
With Airplane! the
most salient point is the
comedy that thing is
infused with, Bachman
pointed out. On Golden
Pond, I think what
makes it so inspiring is
the level of the writing
in On Golden Pond is
so top-notch. Katharine
Hepburn, Henry Fonda
and Jane Fonda bring
those characters to life.
He also noted a direct
correlation between the
release of Raiders of the
Lost Ark and the increase

Rare Leonardo da Vinci codex nowat National Air and Space Museum
WASHINGTON A rare avian has
landed at the National Air and Space
Museum. Leonardo da Vincis Codex
on the Flight of Birds will be on dis-
play until Oct. 22.
Despite the title, Leonardo, in fact,
did not give any title to his codex, said
Giovanni Saccani, director of the Royal
Library of Turin. The codex has left
Italy only three times in 120 years.
Written between 1505 and 1506
when da Vinci was working in the court
of Milan, and painting the Mona Lisa,
the codex was broken up and pages sold
piecemeal after his death.
Passing through several hands,
the codex was listed at the Biblioteca
Ambrosiana in Milan in 1637. More
than a century later, in 1796, Napoleon
Bonaparte had the manuscript sent
to Paris. In the mid-1800s, a book
lover removed pages and sold them in
London. In 1892, a Russian reunited
most of the book.
Later, after additional missing pages
were discovered and added, the com-
plete codex ended up at the Biblioteca
Reale in Turin, Italy. The Biblioteca
Reale also holds a da Vinci self-portrait
from 1512.
This is the second time it has come to
the United States.
Italian journalist Silvia Rosa-Brusin,
the Royal Library of Turin and the
Italian space agency approached
Californias Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) to
put a digital scan of the codex on a chip
and put it on the Mars Curiosity rover,
said JPL Director Charles Elachi. So
we can truly say Leonardo is on Mars.
A video about the codex titled
Leonardos Flight was produced for
the Smithsonian for the exhibit by
Rosa-Brusin for Rai Radiotelevisione
Italia.
The codex a small 8-by-6-inch
notebook is being shown next to the
exhibit on early aviators, the Wright
Brothers and the Wright Flyer. Three
tablets nearby enable visitors to leaf
through the 18 pages electronically,
with an English translation on the left
and Italian on the right. During the rst
week, there will be timed ticketing. No
photography or videotaping will be per-
mitted.
Amid the technical drawings and
mirror writing is proof that da Vinci
reused his paper. One page has a gro-
cery list, which includes pollo, or
chicken.
Da Vinci was fascinated with all
aspects of ight.
Peter L. Jakab, chief curator of the
National Air and Space Museum, said
da Vinci produced more than 34,000
words and 500 sketches dealing with
ying machines and the nature of
air and bird ight, scattered over his
many writings.
Soaring near the codex is a recon-
struction of da Vincis design for an
ornithopter a man in a winged har-
ness on loan from Finmeccanica.
From military tactics he became
interested in aerial reconnaissance.
Most of Leonardos aeronautical
designs were ornithopters, machines
that employed apping wings for lift
and propulsions, Jakab said. But the
fundamental barrier of a ornithopter is
the demonstrable limited muscle power
and endurance of humans compared
with birds.
In other words, no amount of ap-
ping would ever make a human y.

Old Alner gets more than he bargained for once again
COMING OVER TO watch
the game? my buddy Alner
called as I got out of my car,
church bulletin in hand.
Wouldnt miss it, I
answered.
You know, he said, I won-
der what people did back in the
old days when Sunday was just
sitting at home, twiddling your
thumbs you know, before we
had these big TVs and every-
thing and all the stores had to
close.
Alner, I said, shaking my
head, the scantiness of your
knowledge never ceases to
amaze me. Lets take a trip.
Why do I give you these
openings? he moaned. Now
well miss the kickoff.
No we wont. My power of
metaphysical travel will get us
back in time a couple of gen-
erations, and
my theoretical
simultaneity will
freeze-frame the
entire NFL and
its legion of TV
commentators.
S o me t h i n g
smells good,
he said as we
strolled down a
Wyoming Valley
street on an early
autumn Sunday
in the 1940s.
Its called dinner with the
family, I said. For many of us
in 2013 it has been succeeded
by shopping with the credit
cards.
I can smell roast chicken and
pumpkin pie a mile away.
These folks have been
through a lot, I said. They
survived the Great Depression
and the war. They know whats
valuable and what they can do
without.
Dont they have any youknow
entertainment? Alner asked.
They have big, thick Sunday
papers, probably delivered by
a boy pulling a coaster wagon
full of them. New York, Philly,
the Independent, whatever
you want, he has. While moms
mashing the potatoes, dads
probably reading the funnies
to the younger kids and doing
goofy voices to keep them
laughing.
I can hardly even nd the
funnies today, he said.
Theyre a dying institution,
I said. We live in a grim time.
Hey, he smirked, they
dont have any TV.
No, but theyve got rst-
class radio. In the evening
theyll listen to some of the
best comedy ever Phil Harris,
Jack Benny, Our Miss Brooks.
Theres never been a mystery
show to equal The Shadow
either. Try putting an invisible
crime ghter on TV!
I dont see many cars on the
streets, he said.
A lot of neighborhoods are
pretty much self-sufcient.
They have little grocery stores,
which are closed today of
course, and there are clusters
of shops drugstores, variety
stores, restaurants and the like
not far away. And, let me be
clear about this, people used to
walk to where they wanted to
go, even if it took an hour or
so. Besides, during the week
theres great bus service.
OK, now lets say there was
a problem, like maybe little
Susie or Johnnie had a sudden
earache.
Good question, I nodded.
People helped each other back
in this time. Often relatives
lived close together, and there
was always somebody with the
right remedy.
Looks like party time,
Alner said, pointing to a family
standing on a front porch as the
dad knocked on the front door.
In a sense, I said. Folks did
a lot of visiting back and forth.
Whole families got together
in the evening or on Sunday,
sometimes just because they
were neighbors. Theres anoth-
er lost art.
With Alner uncharacteristi-
cally silent for a few moments, I
stepped in.
Lets not miss the game, I
said.
Yeah, lets not, he grinned.
Hey, I can tell you who todays
losers are.
Oh?
Us! If you hadnt picked a
Sunday, we could have loaded
up on chips and sodas for about
50 cents.

Developed about
10 years ago, the lm

and spring is going
into its second decade,
Bachman said.
We started this on
campus at Penn State
Wilkes-Barre, he
said. Before it was a
one-credit academic
course for students.
Over time we broad-
ened it so the general
public could come in
for general education
credits, as well.
The course meets
the requirements for
primary and second-
ary education teach-
ers in Pennsylvania,
including 15 hours of
class for one credit.
The course was
held on campus until
recent years. Movies
14 invited the school
to show the movies
in the theater. This is
the third season in the
theater.
Those who wish to
take part must sign
up for the ve weeks.
Only students receive
a grade. They must
attend and participate
in discussions, and at
the conclusion of the
ve weeks, students
pick any two of the
movies and write a
paper at least ve
pages long comparing
and contrasting the
movies.
The general regis-
tration fee is $40 per

MenWe Reaped a tale of young lives lost too soon
HECTOR TOBAR
Los Angeles Times
Men We Reaped
by Jesmyn Ward;
Bloomsbury (272 pages,
$26)
Jesmyn Wards heart-
rending new memoir,
Men We Reaped, is a
brilliant book about beau-
ty and death. The beau-
ty is in the bodies and
the voices of the young
men she grew up with
in the towns of coastal
Mississippi, where a kind
of de facto segregation
persists.
There is C.J. Martin,
one of her many cousins.
He was small and lean,
angled all over with mus-
cle, Ward writes. His
face was shaped like a tri-
angle, and the only things
that were dark about him
were his eyes, which were
so deep in color they were
a surprise.
Ward lls almost every
page of Men We Reaped
with lyrical descriptions
of the people and the land,
much as she did with her
2011 novel Salvage the
Bones, which won the
National Book Award.
Men We Reaped is
at once a coming-of-
age story and a kind of
mourning song as Ward
describes her upbringing
in a poor Mississippi fam-
ily and the violent, early
deaths of ve young men
who were close to her,
including younger broth-
er Joshua.
One by one, the young
men die. Car accidents, a
suicide, a drug overdose,
a murder. Its a painfully
tragic story but also one
of community and famil-
ial strength. In the end,
Men We Reaped tells
the story of Wards own
salvation thanks to her
mothers grit and sac-
rice, her love for the
people around her and
the power of literature to
liberate the soul.
Early in her book, Ward
is a twentysomething col-
lege grad hanging out at
home with the kids she
grew up with. Over cray-
sh and beers, she tells
her friends that shes try-
ing to be a writer, one
who pens Books about
home. About the hood.
You should write about
my life, says Demond
Dedeaux, a bright young
man who is one of the few
in Wards orbit with a sta-
ble household but whose
future is limited to menial
jobs in the local service
and casino industries.
Most of the men in
my life thought their sto-
ries, whether they were

laced, were worthy of
being written about,
Ward writes. Then, I
laughed it off. Now, as I
write these stories, I see
the truth of their claims.
Men We Reaped is
not a book about the sor-
rows of growing up black
in America. Rather, it
tells a story about grow-
ing up black and poor in
the post-civil-rights-era
21st-century South. Class
looms over the fate of
Wards family as much as
race does. Near the end,
Wards upper-middle-
class African-American
boyfriend makes a cameo,
and its clear that his life
couldnt be more differ-
ent than hers. Every
time some ill luck befell
my family, some unique
conuence of events that
bespoke what it meant
to be poor and Black
and southern, it shocked
him, Ward writes.
The Southern economy
has cratered, leaving fami-
lies adrift in towns such as
DeLisle. In spite of being
seen as a black commu-
nity by outsiders, DeLisle,
Miss., is really a place of
mixing, with African,
French, Spanish, and Native
ancestry all smoothed to
the dening Black in the
American South.
Ward and her siblings
are themselves a prod-
uct of this mixing. She
is closest to her younger
brother, Joshua, and she
offers this deeply moving
description of him act-
ing out as a slightly older
boy on the day their phi-
landering father nally
leaves home:
He ran around the
house, lap after lap
crying for Daddy. The
uncles and aunts ran after
him, caught him, held
him squirming to them,
told him to stop, but he
sobbed louder and fought
and squirmed in their
arms. He was six now, his
once blond afro shaved
short, and he was strong.
They let him go and he hit
the ground running and
crying. The boy runs for
hours, until he nally col-
lapses in tears.
Men We Reaped is
lled with many such
intimate and familial
moments, each described
with the passion and pre-
cision of the polished nov-
elist Ward has become.
We learn early in this book
that Joshua is doomed to
an early death. And yet in
each appearance here, he
is a fully realized charac-
ter rst as a boy and
then as a young man full
of life, a dreamer despite
his limited horizons.
DeLisle is also known
as Wolf Town, and its
a place that swallows up
dreams and turns them
into ghosts. At an early
age, Ward is given the gift
of a private education
at a school where she is
the only black student.
(The wealthy white fam-
ily her mother works for
pays her tuition.)
Ward is one of those
rare writers whos trav-
eled across Americas
deepening class rift with
her sense of truth intact.
What she gives back to
her community is the
hurtful honesty of the best
literary art. She writes in
Men We Reap of her
struggles to capture the
people of her community
and their many foibles
on the written page.
At rst, she writes, I
loved them too much:
as an author, I protected
them from death, from
drug addiction, from
needlessly harsh sen-
tences for doing stupid,
juvenile things. All the
young Black men in my
community had been prey
to those things in real
life, and yet in the lives
I imagined for them, I
avoided the truth.
The young men who die
in Men We Reaped are
all, in Wards telling, real,
awed and human. And
yet, not all can be said to
be directly responsible for
their own deaths. A kind of
dark fate hovers over Wolf
Town, with life cheapened
by societal neglect, preju-
dice and crime. The deaths
of Roger, Demond, C.J,
Ronald and Joshua, seem-
ingly coming one right
after the other, leave Ward
and her relatives feeling as
if theyve been through a
kind of war, Ward writes.
Men We Reaped
is the stirring and sad
record of that war, a quiet
violence that is sweeping
through many American
communities, but that
has not yet destroyed the
resilient people who live
within them.
When recovering from an
injury, illness or surgery,
sometimes, even the
simplest tasks can seem
monumental.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Heres one rule that will
protect your time and
happiness: Dont give
unsolicited advice. Share
your expertise with those
who ask or pay for it.
Theyre the ones who will
value it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
If you obsess and overana-
lyze, you will become tired
before youve handled all
of your work. If you start
to feel anxious, shift your
focus to the things that
help you access your inner
peace.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Of course doing the same
things will produce the
same results. The change
you desire will begin
because of a choice you
make to try something
unfamiliar.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Conforming to the rules
of a culture is sometimes
necessary to survive, fit
in, influence others and
more. But conforming all
the time is soul-crushing.
You need your moments of
rebellion, too.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Everyone experiences
things differently. But
today, your experience
will be completely differ-
ent from that of others
around you because your
sensitivity causes you
to feel things with great
intensity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Youll be inspired by the
people you meet and the
stories you hear. Listening
to others and mirroring
their feelings and memo-
ries creates a great sense
of satisfaction.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You are a comfortable per-
son because you accept
yourself and try not to
judge anyone, includ-
ing yourself, too harshly.
Today you have a way of
bringing out a side of peo-
ple that they hide around
others.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Does energy that is
directed at people really
make a difference in what
happens to them and how
they feel? You do your fair
share of sending out good
vibes just in case.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Lay down boundaries
to help you avoid having
another one of those con-
versations in which some-
one else feels better after
sharing their feelings and
pain with you, but you feel
worse.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Its strange how being
around certain people
can cause you to act out
of character. You may
find this liberating now,
as its fun not to know
exactly what someone
is going to do next, espe-
cially if that someone
is you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). The bear who craves
honey strongly enough
is willing to risk it with
the bees. Youre cleverer,
though. Youll stand by
and watch until you figure
out how honey can be had
with the least chance of
getting stung.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
A new opportunity is mas-
querading as the same-old
same-old. Once you give
it a familiar label, you
wont be able to see its
potential. So observe
more closely. Whats
different?
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept.
22). Youre always watch-
ing out for a chance to
make someone smile.
Youll seek and find
romance in October.
November brings the end
of a battle. In December,
decisions fall in your favor,
benefiting your profession-
al status. Youll track down
a long-lost friend in 2014.
Rekindling the tie has
long-term benefits. Pisces
and Leo people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are:
36, 24, 13, 20 and 48.
HURRY!

Newtours combine biking with local breweries
Beer lovers are nding
a new way to explore the
burgeoning craft-brewing
world: on bicycles.
From Oregon to New
Mexico to Vermont, beer
acionados can now hop on
a bike and be led from one
brewery to another.
After sampling the latest
microbrew, they can then
pedal away all those extra
calories.
The tours, which range
from a few hours to several
days, offer a chance to meet
other travelers, learn about
the local culture and, of
course, sample some great
beer.
And each tour has a dif-
ferent strategy for prevent-
ing biking under the inu-
ence, from limiting tastes
to 4 ounces and providing
a back-up van, to saving the
swigs for the end of the trip.
Heather Wess Arnold and
her husband, Josh, owners
of Routes Bicycle Rentals &
Tours in Albuquerque, took
their love for beer and bik-
ing and combined them in a
tour in April.
We were expecting it to
be mostly tourists, but its
also been a lot of locals, she
said.
Novice riders will appre-
ciate the bicycle-friendly
paths, lanes, roads with
light trafc. Beer-lovers can
enjoy visits to at least three
breweries. The $45 tours
rental included are
offered the third Sunday of
each month.
Every three months, the
tour is changed so people
can learn about new neigh-
borhoods and new beers.
The three-and-a-half to four-
hour tours cover 10 to 15
miles.
Along the way, bikers
learn about the history of
brewing in Albuquerque,
some local trivia and are
given backroom tours of the
breweries, led by the master
brewers.
Some of the spots even
let bikers participate in the
process, adding the hops or
stirring the mash.
There are three to four
tastings each 4 ounces
at each brewery. Plenty
of water is served, and
Wess Arnold says the tour
spreads out the drinking to
keep bikers under the legal
limits of driving um,
biking while under the
inuence. A vehicle follows
the group in case anyone
becomes too impaired to
bike.
So far that hasnt had to
happen, she said.
The vehicle also offers a
way for bikers to transport
any six-packs or growlers
of beer, T-shirts and pint
glasses without worrying
about juggling the souvenirs
on the bikes.
For those looking for a
bit more of a challenge,
Sojourn Bicycle Vacations
offers a Vermont Bike &
Brew tour. The six-day,
ve-night trip is geared
toward more avid cyclists
who ride 50 miles a day and
includes many hills.
It just combines some
great riding and some of
the worlds best craft brew-
eries, said Susan Rand,
president of the company.
We do more riding than
drinking.
The group stops at seven
breweries along the way
but also ends each day with
some local beers out of a
cooler. One night, there is
a private chefs beer-pairing
dinner led by the brew-
master from Otter Creek
Brewing.
The 18-person trip, which
goes for $2,195 per person,
covers the rural back roads
of Vermont.
Bob Gross, 63, and his
wife Cyndy, 54, were on
the rst tour last summer.
Theyve done wine bike
tours but thought it was
time to learn more about
beer. More than 20 years
ago, she bought him a
home-brewers kit and hes
been hooked ever since.
I like specialty beers, I
love microbrewers, he said.
All our bike trips gravitate
toward alcohol.
She loves Michelob Ultra
but went along on the trip
because they bike together
two to three times a week.
The cool thing about the
trip, you got to meet the
brew masters. You learn a
lot about the business, he
said.
As for getting drunk while
biking, he said, Youre just
really sipping a very small
amount.
Most of the drinking hap-
pens at the end of the day.
Mount Major Adventures
offers customized Vermont
Bike and Brewery tours
that visit more than a dozen
breweries in the state over
a four- to eight-day period.
Too exhausted to think
about that much biking?
Well, there are plenty of
other day trips out there
includingthose offeredsince
2008 by Cycle Portland Bike
Tours in Oregon.
Owner Evan Ross sums
up the tours as a great way
to work off some calories
and build up some thirst.
The group visits three
breweries over three hours
and then ends in the bike
shop where there is a keg
of beer from another local
brewery. Like all of the
tours, Ross tends to change
the beers with the seasons
and his tastes.
The $40 tour used to
include alcohol, but Ross
said people got too wast-
ed. Now, participants pur-
chase drinks a la carte along
the way. This way, no one
feels like the need to nish
every beer to get their mon-
eys worth.
Other companies around
the country offering simi-
lar trips include Beer &
Bike Tours in Fort Collins,
Colo., and Motor City Bike
& Brew Tours in Detroit,
which focus on the citys
brewing revitalization
as well as sites from the
Prohibition era.

DURHAM, N.C. Tom Savage, Tyler
Boyd and the Pittsburgh Panthers made
themselves right at home on the road in the
Atlantic Coast Conference both in the
end zone and in the record book.
Savage tied a league record with six touch-
down passes and the ACC newcomers held
on to win the second-highest-scoring game
in conference history, 58-55 over Duke on
Saturday.
Basically, everybody on the offense
scored, Boyd said.
Savage threw for a career-high 424 yards
on 23-of-33 passing with three touchdowns
to the freshman Boyd.
Thats a quarterbacks dream, especially
playing (behind) the line that we have and
the receivers we have, Savage said. Stat-
wise, it was pretty good, but I think its easy
to do with those kind of guys. I think any-
body can throw those bombs and be protect-
ed by our offensive line.
The Panthers (2-1, 1-1) never trailed in
their rst ACC victory and rst league road
game despite receivingplenty of scares down
the stretch from a persistent Duke team.
Today was a true test, and I think it was a
good indication of where were at, receiver
Devin Street said. Wins and losses come a
dime a dozen, but effort cant be matched,
and we had effort out there.
Brandon Connette had four touchdown
passes and four interceptions, and he rushed
for 101 yards and two touchdowns for Duke
(2-2, 0-2).
There was never a moment that you
thought that the team was ready to shut
down, coach David Cutcliffe said.
Connettes 4-yard scoring run with 3:17
left pulled the Blue Devils within three.
Pitt recovered the onside kick, and Savages
15-yard pass to Kevin Weatherspoon on
third-and-7 helped the Panthers run out the
clock.
Thats what you dream for as a quarter-
back third down, you can win the game
with a rst down and (Weatherspoon) came
up with a big catch, Savage said.
The teams combined for 1,130 total
yards, and the 111 combined points were
a touchdown shy of the record set last
November in Georgia Techs 68-50 win at
North Carolina.
Savage surpassed both of the major
career highs he set for Rutgers in 2009
or, two transfers ago before halftime of
this one while becoming the rst ACC play-
er to throw for six scores since Virginias
Dan Ellis and Florida States Chris Weinke
both did it on Nov. 13, 1999.
He had plenty of help from his big play-
makers: Street had touchdown catches of
67 and 21 yards and nished with a career-
high 166 yards receiving. Boyd scored on
catches of 69, 27 and 14 yards to go along
with his season-high 154 yards.
The new sheriff in town, Street said of
Boyd.
Freshman James Conner rushed for a
season-high 173 yards and had a short,
early touchdown run.
Pittsburgh outscores Duke in wild one
season-low 142 yards
passing after he opened
the season with three
straight 300-yard passing
games. But the defense
couldnt do enough to win
as the game was decided
by a touchdown or less for
the ninth time in the past
14 meetings.
Rees was 14-of-34 pass-
ing as the Irish matched
the schools longest win-
ning streak under Bob
Davie from 1997-99. The
Irish won 19 straight
under Lou Holtz 1987-90.
Cook was 16-of-32 pass-
ing for 135 yards while
the Irish held Michigan
State to 119 yards rushing,
led by 68 yards by Jeremy
Langford.
The key to the victory
Saturday, though, was tak-
ing advantage of Michigan
States mistakes.
The costliest mistake,
though, likely was the inter-
ception thrown by Shelton
that shifted momentum
Notre Dames way after
the Spartans were making
progress against the Irish.
Shelton threw into double
coverage and picked it
off. The Irish, who con-
tinually passed even on
short running situations,
appeared to surprise the
Spartans with the run call
as McDaniel raced into the
end zone.
It was a defensive strug-
gle in the rst half, with
both teams needing key
mistakes by the opponent
to score. It started in the
rst quarter when on third-
and-9 fromthe Notre Dame
21, Darqueze Dennard was
called for a hold to give the
Irish a rst down. On the
next play, Rees completed
a 37-yard pass to fresh-
man Will Fuller, for his
rst career catch, to the
Michigan State 32. That
set up a 41-yard eld goal
by Kyle Brindza to give the
Irish a 3-0 lead late in the
rst quarter.
The Irish responded
with a key penalty in the
second quarter when on
fourth-and-1 from the
Notre Dame 41, the Irish
appeared to stop Nick Hill
short of the rst down.
But defensive end Kona
Schwenke was called for
a personal foul, giving the
Spartans the ball on the
25-yard line. Cooks, who
was only 5-of-15 passing
in the rst half, completed
a 12-yard scoring pass to
Macgarrett Kings in the
end zone to make it 7-3.
After Michigan State
couldnt recover when a
bouncing punt hit Notre
Dame returner TJ Jones,
the Irish took advantage
of a questionable pass
interference call on fourth-
and-1, giving the Irish a
rst down on the Michigan
State 19. A 19-yard pass
from Rees to Corey
Robinson set up a 2-yard
TD catch by TJ Jones, who
outmuscled Dennard in
the end zone with 17 sec-
onds left in the half.

Cardinals blast Florida Intl 72-0
LOUISVILLE, Ky.
Teddy Bridgewater threw
four touchdown passes
and Louisvilles defense
allowed a school-record 30
yards, helping the seventh-
ranked Cardinals blow out
Florida International 72-0 on
Saturday.
It was the highest scoring
game for the Cardinals (4-0)
since a 73-10 victory over
Murray State in 2007. It also
matched the schools fourth-
largest margin of victory.
Bridgewater hit DeVante
Parker for two TD passes
and Gerald Christian and Eli
Rogers for one each before
Will Gardner came in to
throw another touchdown
to Michaelee Harris in the
fourth quarter. Dominique
Brown, Senorise Perry,
Michael Dyer and Brandon
Radcliff rushed for scores.
Charles Gaines returned
the second-half kickoff 93
yards for a TD and recov-
ered a muffed punt to set
up Bridgewaters second TD
pass in the second quarter.
Louisvilles defense mean-
while didnt allow FIU (0-4)
a rst down until early in the
second quarter and just two
overall.
No. 1 Alabama 31,
Colorado St. 6
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
AJ McCarron passed for 258
yards and threw a 30-yard
touchdown to DeAndrew
White in the fourth quarter
to lift Alabama.
Kenyan Drake set up one
touchdown with a blocked
punt and scored on a 3-yard
touchdown run for the
Crimson Tide (3-0), which
sputtered at times. Alabama
managed only one offensive
touchdown and no third-
down conversions in the rst
three quarters a week after
winning a 49-42 shootout
over Texas A&M.
The Rams (1-3) nursed
hopes for a monumental
upset into the fourth quar-
ter before allowing two
touchdowns. Trey DePriest
stripped the ball from quar-
terback Garrett Grayson and
recovered the fumble.
The next play McCarron
laced a perfect strike to
White in the end zone and
restless Alabama fans got
something to cheer about.
No. 5 Stanford 42,
No. 23 Arizona State 28
STANFORD, Calif.
Tyler Gaffney ran for 95
yards and two touchdowns,
Anthony Wilkerson added
68 yards and another score,
and Stanford started strong
in a victory over Arizona
State in the Pac-12 opener
for both teams.
The defending conference
champions controlled every
facet of the game to turn
the only matchup between
ranked opponents this week
into a 29-0 halftime lead.
The Cardinal (3-0, 1-0)
scored in the air and on the
ground, forced two turn-
overs, blocked two punts,
tallied 10 tackles for loss and
recorded three sacks.
Taylor Kelly threw for 367
yards, including three touch-
down passes in the fourth
quarter, and Jaelen Strong
caught 12 passes for 168
yards and a score in an other-
wise disappointing showing
for the Sun Devils (2-1, 0-1).
No. 8 Florida State 54
Bethune-Cookman 6
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.
Florida State and quarter-
back Jameis Winston defeat-
ed FCS opponent Bethune-
Cookman despite plenty of
sloppy play.
The defending ACCcham-
pions (3-0, 1-0) will want
to clean up their offense
before starting a seven-game
stretch against conference
foes next week.
Winston completed 10 of
19 passes for 148 yards and
two touchdowns. Devonta
Freeman ran for a game-high
112 yards and a touchdown.
Karlos Williams nished
with 83 yards rushing and
two touchdowns, and James
Wilder, Jr. added 56 yards
and a touchdown.
No. 9 Georgia 45,
North Texas 21
ATHENS, Ga. Aaron
Murray threw for 408 yards
and three touchdowns, and
ran for another score to lead
Georgia over pesky North
Texas.
Murray overcame an early
interception in the end zone,
hooking up with freshman
Reggie Davis on a 98-yard
TD the longest pass play
in school history. Arthur
Lynch and Chris Conley also
had touchdown catches for
the Bulldogs (2-1).
The Mean Green (2-2)
came in as a 33-point under-
dog, but big plays on special
teams helped make a game
of it. Brelan Chancellor
returned a kickoff 99 yards
for a touchdown, and Zac
Whiteld fell on a blocked
punt in the end zone early in
the second half to stunningly
tie the game at 21.
No. 10Texas A&M42, SMU 13
COLLEGE STATION,
Texas Johnny Manziel
accounted for 346 yards
with three touchdowns in
just more than a half to help
No. 10 Texas A&M cruise
past SMU.
Texas A&M (3-1) was up
32-6 at halftime, and Manziel
led the Aggies to a touch-
down on their rst drive of
the third quarter before the
Heisman Trophy-winner
went to the bench.
Manziel had 244 yards
passing with a touchdown
and ran for 102 yards and
two more scores.
Deshazor Everett
returned a fumble 12 yards
for a touchdown and Ben
Malena ran for 71 yards and
two scores. He got things
going for A&Mwith a 3-yard
touchdown run in the rst
quarter.
No. 16 Miami 77,
Savannah St. 7
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla.
Dallas Crawford and
Gus Edwards both scored
three touchdowns and No.
16 Miami got into the end
zone on its rst seven pos-
sessions, rolling to a 77-7
victory over Savannah State
on Saturday night.
The Hurricanes set a
school record for points in a
game, topping the 75 scored
against Fordham in 1954.
Stacy Coley had a kick-
off return for a score and a
touchdown catch for Miami,
which has won ve straight
games for the rst time since
2008.
No. 17 Washington 56,
Idaho St. 0
SEATTLE Keith Price
threw for 213 yards and
three touchdowns in less
than a half, Deontae Cooper
scored his rst career touch-
down after three major knee
surgeries, and Washington
routed Idaho State in the
Huskies nal tuneup before
the start of Pac-12 play.
Bishop Sankey, the nation-
al leader in yards rushing per
game, barely broke a sweat
against the Bengals (2-1) of
the FCS. Sankey saw action
on the Huskies rst three
series and scored on a 3-yard
TD run in the rst quarter.
Sankey nished with 77
yards on four carries.
No. 19 Florida 31,
Tennessee 17
GAINESVILLE, Fla.
After starting quarterback
Jeff Driskel was lost to a
season-ending ankle injury,
Tyler Murphy led Florida
to ve scores in a some-
what ugly game, helping the
Gators open Southeastern
Conference play with a vic-
tory over Tennessee.
Murphy had a 52-yard
touchdown throw to
Solomon Patton, a swing
pass that went the distance,
and made several plays with
his legs as Florida (2-1, 1-0)
won its ninth straight in the
series. Murphys 7-yard TD
scamper in the fourth quar-
ter made it 31-10 and sent
fans scrambling for the exits.
The Volunteers (2-2, 0-1)
had hoped to rebound from
an embarrassing 59-14 loss
at No. 2 Oregon a week ago,
but they left Gainesville with
another double-digit set-
back.
No. 20 Baylor 70,
Louisiana Monroe 7
WACO, Texas Bryce
Petty threw for 351 yards
with four touchdowns and
ran 2 yards for another
score, and Baylor kept piling
up the points in a win over
Louisiana-Monroe.
The fast-paced Bears (3-0)
had seven offensive touch-
downs in the 10 drives Petty
played. Those TD drives
took a total of 6 minutes.
Baylor is the rst FBS
team since LSU in 1930 to
open a season with at least
60 points in three consecu-
tive games, according to
STATS. The Bears nished
with 781 total yards, match-
ing the school record they
set in their last game, two
weeks ago in a 70-13 win
over Buffalo.
No. 25 Texas Tech 33,
Texas State 7
LUBBOCK, Texas
Backup quarterback Davis
Webb threw for two touch-
downs and 310 yards to lead
Texas Tech.
Webb threwa 4-yardtouch-
downpass toEric Wardinthe
third quarter and a 10-yarder
to Bradley Marquez in the
fourth after Texas State failed
on a fake punt deep in its own
territory.
Webb nished 19 for 43
and had two interceptions.

Record day for Buckeyes against FAMU
TheAssociated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio Kenny Guiton
again starred in place of the injured
Braxton Miller, setting a school record
with six touchdown passes all in the
rst half to lead No. 4 Ohio State to
a 76-0 victory against Florida A&M on
Saturday.
It was the most lopsided Ohio State
win since 1935.
The Buckeyes (4-0) needed a total of
four offensive plays and 46 seconds to
go up 21-0 in the opening 6 minutes and
never looked back. It was an epic mis-
match between a team with national-title
aspirations and a Football Championship
Subdivision member getting a $900,000
guarantee.
FAMU (1-3), which suffered its worst
loss ever, trailed 48-0 before picking up
its initial rst down in the second quarter.
Guiton completed 24 of 34 passes for
215 yards. His TDpasses went to ve dif-
ferent receivers.
The game was Ohio States last tuneup
before opening Big Ten play next week
against No. 24 Wisconsin at home on
Saturday night.
The last time the Buckeyes won by
such a large margin was an 85-7 victory
over Drake in 1935. They had not won a
shutout by such a landslide since a 76-0
win at Western Reserve in 1934.
The Rattlers biggest previous margin
of defeat was 73-6 to Tuskegee in 1926.
They lost to Oklahoma 69-13 a year ago
and South Florida 70-17 in 2011.
Ohio State had a 34-2 edge in rst
downs and a 603-80 differential in yards.
No. 18 Northwestern 35, Maine 21
EVANSTON, Ill. Linebacker
Damien Proby and defensive end Dean
Lowry each had an interception return
for a touchdown to lead Northwestern
over Maine.
Northwestern improved to 4-0 as it
wrapped up its non-conference slate, but
this was not the consistent, steady per-
formance coach Pat Fitzgerald was look-
ing for heading into Big Ten play. If not
for the interception returns, Maine (3-1)
could have been in line for an upset down
the stretch.
Running back Mike Trumpy and quar-
terback Kain Colter each had rushing
TDs for Northwestern.
Marcus Wasilewski was 25-for-40 for
237 yards with two touchdowns and two
interceptions for Maine, which had a 379
to 373 edge over the Wildcats in total
yards.
Northwestern had posted better than
500 yards of offense in each of its rst two
games against California and Syracuse.
No. 24 Wisconsin 41, Purdue 10
MADISON, Wis. Melvin Gordon
ran for three touchdowns, James White
added 145 yards rushing and a 70-yard
score, and Wisconsin opened Big Ten
play with a win over Purdue.
Gordon scored from 5 and 27 yards in
the rst half before capping the opening
drive of the second half with a 15-yard
touchdown run to give Wisconsin (3-1,
1-0) a 31-10 lead.
Nose guard Warren Herring had a sack
and three tackles, and linebacker Chris
Borland had six stops and a pass breakup
at the goal line with the game still close in
the rst half.
Wisconsin moved on nicely from last
weeks stunning 32-30 loss to Arizona
State, after ofcials mishandled the nal
seconds to deprive the Badgers of a game-
winning eld-goal try.
Quarterback Rob Henrys 22-yard
scramble for a score on what appeared to
be a busted play provided one of the few
highlights for the Boilermakers (1-3, 0-1).
Nebraska 59, S. Dakota St. 20
LINCOLN, Neb. Tommy
Armstrong Jr. and Ron Kellogg III
combined to pass for 305 yards, Ameer
Abdullah ran for a career-high 139 yards
and Nebraska shook off South Dakota
State.
Armstrong got the start in place of
the injured Taylor Martinez, but playing
time was evenly split between the red-
shirt freshman and Kellogg.
Nebraska (3-1), which nished with
645 yards, scored 38 straight points after
falling behind 17-14 in the rst quarter
against the Championship Subdivision
Jackrabbits (3-1).
Martinez didnt practice this week
because of a turf-toe injury on his left
foot and was in shorts and a T-shirt on
the sideline. He had started 32 straight
games since 2010.
The victory will do little to quell con-
cern over Nebraskas defense. SDSUs
Zach Zenner ran for 202 yards, tied for
10th-most by a Nebraska opponent, and
the Jackrabbits nished with 465 total
yards.
Minnesota 43, San Jose State 24
MINNEAPOLIS Quarterback
Mitch Leidner rushed for 151 yards and
four touchdowns to lift Minnesota.
Leidner was lling in for injured start-
er Philip Nelson, who was out with a bad
hamstring. He also passed for 71 yards
as the Golden Gophers improved to 4-0.
Gophers coach Jerry Kill returned to the
sideline a week after missing the second
half because of an epileptic seizure and
made it through the game without inci-
dent.
David Fales threw for 439 yards with
three touchdowns and two intercep-
tions for San Jose State (1-2). Chandler
Jones had seven catches for 197 yards
and three touchdowns for the Spartans,
who were missing top receiver Noah
Grigsby with a knee injury.
David Cobb rushed for 125 yards and
two touchdowns and the Gophers dom-
inated the time of possession 40:38-
18:58 to grind Fales and the high-ying
Spartans into submission.
Iowa 59, W Michigan 3
IOWA CITY, Iowa Kevonte
Martin-Manley returned back-to-back
punts for touchdowns; B.J. Lowery
returned a pair of interceptions for TDs
and Iowa rolled.
The Hawkeyes (3-1) now enter Big
Ten play with a three-game winning
streak, their longest since 2010.
Martin-Manley scored on returns of
83 and 63 yards early in the second
quarter as Iowa jumped out to a 38-3
halftime lead.
Lowery took back picks for 35 and
13-yard TDs for Iowa, which scored
its most points since it had 62 against
Northwestern in 2002.
Tyler Van Tubbergen had 114 yards
passing for the Broncos (0-4).

Its early, but
there are some
things we know
RICH SHEPOSH
[email protected]
Anyone who has played fantasy football long enough
knows how mind-bendingly unpredictable it can be.
Trying to forecast games accurately week-to-week is
like relying on a fortune teller with short-term memo-
ry loss and attention deficit disorder.
I see in your future WAIT. Why am I holding a
glass bowling ball? Hey, I found some gum!
The early parts of the season are especially hard to
find lasting trends.
Is 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick the guy who threw for
412 yards and 3 TDs in the opener? Or the guy who
stunk up the joint with 127 yards and 3 interceptions
Week 2?
And which Jared Cook is real? The tight end who
looked like the second coming of Antonio Gates in
Week 1 with 7 receptions, 2 TDs and 141 yards? Or
the dude who looked like the second coming of Kyle
Brady with 1 catch for 10 yards Week 2?
Chances are good both guys are closer to their Week
1 numbers, but it will take a few more games to be
sure.
In the meantime, there are a few trends that are
quickly turning into facts after the first two games.
The smart fantasy owner will look to capitalize on
them now and beat your opponent to the punch.
1: This ones obvious, but the Eagles LeSean
McCoy should have been the first pick in the fantasy
draft. He is made for that Chip Kelly offense and the
offense is made for him. Only injury will slow him
down.
2: The Redskins defense is bad. Bad, with a capi-
tal awful. Take a look ahead on Washington s sched-
ule and rejoice if you have any Lions, Vikings, Bears,
Chargers or Chiefs. Double rejoice if you have players
from the other NFC East teams because you get to face
that revolving door to the end zone twice.
3: The Chiefs defense may be a Top 5 fantasy unit.
Theyve held two potent offenses (Dallas, Philly) to
17 and 16 points respectively, and one terrible offense
(Jacksonville ) scoreless (But no shutout. Thanks,
safety). They get lots of sacks and force turnovers.
None of this should be a surprise considering its a
defense that had four Pro Bowlers last year.
4: Trent Richardsons trade from the Browns to the
Colts should mean better days for him and the Colts
offense. Richardson has a bit of an injury history, so
thats not a fact you can set in stone. But, a running
game should open up more room for QB Andrew Luck.
The hard fact to take out of the trade, is that if you
jumped to pick up Richardson s replacement with the
Browns, you wasted a waiver move. Willis McGahee
is turning 32 and has not been a reliable fantasy back
for years. (If he ever really was one)
Ask yourself this: If the Browns offense was strug-
gling with a talented 22-year-old running the ball,
what do you think it will do with a 32-year-old retread
in the backfield?
5: The Chargers Philip Rivers is back to being a No.
1 QB. This team has an offense again thanks to head
coach Mike McCoy. That should surprise no one con-
sidering McCoy called the shots for Peyton Manning
in Denver last year, and turned Arena League castoff
Jake Delhomme into a Super Bowl QB when he was in
Carolina.
Chances are good that Rivers isnt even your start-
ing QB. So that leaves you a nice option: Keep Rivers
and spend the year with a potent 1-2 QB punch, or
trade him for some help at another position.
QUICK HITS FOR WEEK 3
Start em: Take a look at Rams QB Sam Bradford
vs. the Cowboys. Bradford looks like hes ready to have
a breakout year and games against Dallas usually lead
to shootouts.
Titans RB Chris Johnson. It still confounds me
how Tennessee forgets about its best player at times.
Its almost as if their philosophy is, The other team
THINKS were going to run Johnson, so well fool
them! Throw the ball! This week though, at home,
with the possibility for a high-scoring affair, CJ2K
should thrive.
Take a flier on Cardinals WR Andre Roberts today
against the Saints. Larry Fitzgerald has been battling
injury and Roberts has seen the most targets from QB
Carson Palmer over the first few weeks. And any game
against the Saints will involve many footballs being
chucked about thought the air.
Any and all Lions except the defense. Get them off
your bench and into your lineup. If youre in a league
that starts a waterboy, get him in there this week
Sit em: Just for this week, sit Trent Richardson.
Traded players often need a week or so to adjust to
new offenses. Unfortunately, this adjustment week
comes against the 49ers defense.
Last year, Panthers QB Cam Newton was off to
a slow start and had his worst game of the season
against the N.Y. Giants. This year, Newton is off to a
slow start and here come those Giants again. Can you
say dj vu all over again?
By the end of the year, you will thank the draft gods
that you got WR Cecil Shorts on your team. You will
not be thanking anyone today. Jacksonville travels to
Seattle in a hide-the-women-and-children matchup.
That Seahawk defense eats ornery for breakfast and
spits out nasty. Avert your eyes during this one.

When the Washington Redskins come to town, get every player you
can from the opposing team in your starting lineup. Their fantasy
numbers will thank you for it.
WEEK 3 PREDICTIONS
GREG COTE
The Miami Herald
GAME OF THE WEEK
TEXANS (2-0) AT RAVENS (1-1)
Line: HOU by 2
Cotes pick: HOU 27-23.
The Week 3 plate is light on Grade A GOTW candidates, but were
OK offering a reigning Super Bowl champ at home facing a visitor
with SB aspirations. Both have much to prove, with Houston the
first team since 1970 to be 2-0 winning both on the games final
plays Probably not the best for your blood pressure, noted J.J.
Watt and Baltimore less than impressive after a 14-6 defeat of
Cleveland. Both teams have notable injury concerns, but Texans
WR Andre Johnson (concussion) entered Friday seeming likelier to
be full strength than Ravens RB Ray Rice (hip). Thats partly why,
despite mad respect for BALs home field, I like Texans here.
UPSET OF THE WEEK
BEARS (2-0) AT STEELERS (0-2)
Line: CHI by 2 .
Cotes pick: PIT 21-17.
AAAWWWK! bellows the Upset Bird. Dont be too quick to bury
Pittsbaawwk! Yes, Ben Roethlisberger needs a running game
like popcorn needs better. Yes, a once-vaunted Steelers D has
zero takeaways in two games. And yes, your home field does cede
some mystique when you lose your opener there to Tennessee.
Despite all that, the prime-time Sunday stage and a dose of early
desperation will summon a vintage effort and dodge Pitts first 0-3
start since 2000. Sounds like a venue pick, notes a professorially
nodding U-Bird. Roethlisbaaawwwk!
DOG OF THE WEEK
JAGUARS (0-2) AT SEAHAWKS (2-0)
Line: SEA by 19 .
Cotes pick: SEA 24-7.
Its the Miami-Savannah State of NFL Week 3! The Sunday betting
lines dont get much bigger than this. The involvement of sad
Jacksonville alone makes any game a Dog candidate, and here
we add the likelihood of a miserable rout. Looks like Chad Henne
again over Blaine Gabbert; like it matters? Strange as it seems I
might ride Jags with all that head start, though. Hawks figure to
have an almost indifferent effort coming after an emotional rout
of rival San Francisco.
PACKERS (1-1) AT BENGALS (1-1)
Line: GB by 2 .
Cotes pick: GB 31-23.
Cincys defense dating to last season has not allowed a visitor
more than 20 points in five straight home games. The thing is,
Aaron Rodgers and that pass attack render trends like that moot.
Packers generally score 20 before the national anthem ends. The
Bengals are good, playoff good, but Andy Dalton is not cut out to
outscore Mr. Rodgers, no matter the neighborhood.
RAMS (1-1) AT COWBOYS (1-1)
Line: DAL by 4.
Cotes pick: DAL 27-20.
Dallas figures to be in rebound mode after a 1-point loss in KC,
and I like the Boys at home even though WR Dez Bryants iffy back
is tormenting his fantasy owners. STL is improved but doesnt
generally travel well. DeMarco Murray ran for 253 yards when last
he faced the Rams. Homies would take about half of that here.
Cant be greedy.
CHARGERS (1-1) AT TITANS (1-1)
Line: TEN by 3.
Cotes pick: SD 24-23.
Upset! Im beginning to gather a bit of faith in new Chargers coach
Mike McCoy, especially the way he has revitalized QB Philip Rivers.
Also, Bolts have won eight straight in this series. That combo
portends Tennessees home-opening crowd filing out quietly.
BROWNS (0-2) AT VIKINGS (0-2)
Line: MIN by 51/2.
Cotes pick: MIN 28-16.
Week of tumult in Cleveland. First the Earthtones vault third-
stringer Brian Hoyer to starting QB, then they shockingly trade
starting RB Trent Richardson to Indy for a 2014 No. 1 draft pick.
Have they set a league record for earliest concession and playing
for next year? Give Brownies a slight upset shot, but far likelier
Vikes roll in their home opener.
BUCCANEERS (0-2) AT PATRIOTS (2-0)
Line: NE by 7 .
Cotes pick: NE 24-13.
This is the NFL: Patriots 2-0 by combined five points and Bucs
0-2 by combined three points, the margin of error at times paper
thin. NE has won 31 of past 34 home games and should safely
sputter to its first 3-0 start since 2007. Side note: A chance TE
Rob Gronkowski could return from injury. Note II: Greg Schiano
got Tampa job largely on recommendation of Bill Belichick.
LIONS (1-1) AT REDSKINS (0-2)
Line: WAS by 2.
Cotes pick: WAS 30-27.
A coin-flip of a game rendered even more unpredictable by the
uncertainty with Reggie Bush, who is questionable (knee) for
a Detroit squad that needs him. Lions arent the awful roadies
they used to be, and Matthew Stafford could throw for miles on
the Unspeakable Nicknames bad pass-D, but I still make this is a
venue pick, albeit a very anxious one.
GIANTS (0-2) AT PANTHERS (0-2)
Line: CAR by 1.
Cotes pick: NYG 24-20.
Upset! (Although it hardly feels like one). Giants 0-2 start is self-
inflicted, with 10 turnovers, including seven INTs by Eli Manning.
Oh-and-3 is a death knell for playoff prospects, so this is huge.
Biggies won in Carolina 36-7 a year ago so this result will measure
how far NYG has fallen, or announce theyre still around.
CARDINALS (1-1) AT SAINTS (2-0)
Line: NO by 7 .
Cotes pick: NO 34-20.
Drew Brees has a 131.3 passer rating in two career meetings with
Cardbirds, and him at home vs. this pass D should make for more
fantasy-pleasing numbers. The gut is to like Arizona getting a
touchdown-plus here, but WR Larry Fitzgerald being questionable
(hamstring) bodes ill for the Cacti and makes us like NAwlis on
the cover.
FALCONS (1-1) AT DOLPHINS (2-0)
Line: MIA by 2
Cotes pick: MIA 24-20
Atlanta is a better team overall but also is diminished, with RB
Steven Jackson (thigh) out and WR Roddy White (high ankle
sprain) not himself even if he does play. That levels the field and
makes me lean Miami on the tailwind of the franchises 48th home
opener all of this presuming Ryan Tannehill will be OK after
being limited in practice this week by a sore shoulder. Cornerback
Brent Grimes, the seven-year ex-Falcon, versus excellent Julio
Jones should be an individual duel worth watching. Also of note,
Dolphins guard John Jerry vs. Falcons DT Peria Jerry in a Battle
of Bros. (Hey, so it isnt exactly Manning vs. Manning!) Keys will
be Miamis two lines, one putting pressure on Matt Ryan and the
other keeping it off Tannehill. Dolphins not drafting Ryan No. 1
overall in 2008 has been fairly second-guessed, but that old ghost
will largely disappear if Tannehill can best Ryan head-to-head here
and lift Miami to its first 3-0 bustout since 2002. With admittedly
modest confidence, Im betting it happens.
BILLS (1-1) AT JETS (1-1)
Line: NYJ by 2.
Cotes pick: NYJ 19-16.
Round 1 in the fight for the AFC East cellar brings us a duel of
young QBs EJ Manuel and Geno Smith, who became friends out
of high school attending a South Florida football camp together.
NYJ has won eight of past 10 in series, including three straight
at home, so make this one a venue call. Planes bring a bit better
defense, too.
COLTS (1-1) AT 49ERS (1-1)
Line: SF by 10 .
Cotes pick: SF 27-20.
I get loving San Fran outright here, on a fierce rebound after
Niners were flat-out embarrassed in Seattle 29-3 last week. I
also get that nobody knows Andrew Luck (or presumably how to
defend him) better than his former Stanford coach, Jim Harbaugh.
This is a lot of points, though, to give a 2012 playoff team that got
better this week by trading for RB Trent Richardson.
RAIDERS (1-1) AT BRONCOS (2-0)
Line: DEN by 15.
Cotes pick: DEN 34-23.
This is a record 17th MNF meeting for Raiders-Broncos, and this
one finds Denver as only the third team in past 30 years to start
2-0 with 40-plus points in each game. And you wonder why TV
loves Peyton Manning? Do not see an upset by any stretch, but
see Oaks keeping it reasonably close. Raiders can run the ball, and
losing LT Ryan Clady to injury will be cause a void that Manning
cant help but feel.
Steelers receivers
dont measure up
RAYFITTIPALDO
PittsburghPost-Gazette
In their four seasons
together, Ben Roethlisberger
and Mike Wallace teamed
up for 29 touchdowns, 19 of
which were 20 yards or more
in distance. The Steelers
gured they would lose
some of their quick-strike
capabilities when Wallace
was not re-signed over the
offseason, but did anyone
gure Roethlisberger would
go from one of the best deep
passers in the game to one of
the most ineffective?
Its only two games, but
Roethlisberger and his
receivers have not produced
the types of big plays he used
to engineer with Wallace and
others in previous years. And
it hasnt been for a lack of try-
ing.
Roethlisberger has taken
his shots on deep routes, but
his receivers havent been
able to make many big catch-
es. He tried to connect with
Emmanuel Sanders on the
rst play from scrimmage in
Week 1 against Tennessee,
and Sanders let the ball go
through his hands. In the loss
to Cincinnati Monday night,
Roethlisberger was 1 for 8 on
throws of 20 yards or more.
Wallace isnt a big target
but at 6 feet, he is taller than
Sanders (5-11) and Antonio
Brown (5-10).
Theyre arent the biggest
guys in the world, so its easy
for defensive backs to hold
them, push them and arm-
bar them, and they arent get-
ting the calls, Roethlisberger
said earlier this week. So
its tough. They just need to
keep ghting through those
things. I know they will do
that. They take pride in their
work and they work hard at
it.
Roethlisberger might be
jealous of Chicago quarter-
back Jay Cutler on Sunday
night if he sneaks a peek at
the Bears offense. Cutlers
starting receivers are 6-4
Brandon Marshall and 6-3
Alshon Jeffery. There are
six receivers on the Bears
53-man roster and only one
is shorter than 6 feet.
It makes it nice, Cutler
said. The window to throw
in is a lot bigger when youre
dealing with guys who are
6-2 or 6-4.
The Steelers have ve
receivers on their 53-man
roster and only two
Jerricho Cotchery and Derek
Moye are 6 feet or taller.
The Steelers knew they
had a small group of receiv-
ers, which is one of the rea-
sons general manager Kevin
Colbert re-signed 6-5 Plaxico
Burress.
When Burress had a sea-
son-ending shoulder injury
in training camp, it opened
the door for Moye, who also
is 6-5. Moye caught the rst
touchdown of his career
against the Bengals when
Roethlisberger lobbed a pass
to him in the corner of the
end zone from a yard out.
Ive always had the con-
dence that I could play
at this level, but whenever
you go out there and do it,
you show yourself and your
coaches that youll be ready
for the moment, Moye said.
Its a positive for me to show
the coaches that I can go out
there and play and they can
rely on me if the situation is
needed.

er Emmanuel Sanders (88) is

Ross may return to Giants lineup
ARTSTAPLETON
The Record(Hackensack, N.J.)
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. Aaron Ross has not
started a game for the Giants
since Super Bowl XLVI,
although that includes a sea-
son away in Jacksonville last
year.
That will change if cor-
nerback Corey Webster is
unable to play he is listed
as doubtful for Sundays
game against Carolina with
a hip exor and Ross gets
the call.
Of course, the defensive
assignment opposite Prince
Amukamara would come just
one week after Ross played
zero defensive snaps in the
41-23 loss to Denver.
My mind-set going into
Sunday is the same that it is
every week, Ross said after
practice Friday. I go in pre-
paring like Im a starter. You
never know whats going to
happen, like the rst week
when Prince went down
and I had to come in, step in
for him and know the plays,
know what was going on,
know the formations, know
what (Tony) Romo likes to
do.
I prepare like Ima starter
every week no matter if I play
or not.
Webster has started 34
consecutive regular-season
games, the third-longest
streak on the Giants after
Manning (137) and Antrel
Rolle (50). He practiced
Wednesday, but was unavail-
able Thursday and Friday,
placing his status in doubt.
The way we look at it in
our defensive room is that
everyone is a starter, Rolle
said. You never know whats
going to take place. It can be
before the game, it can be
during the course of a game,
the guy has to be ready and
step in. Ross has been a start-
er in this league for a number
of years. Hes played multiple
positions for us, so were not
looking for any kind of let-
down, were looking for Ross
to go in there and play ball,
as he did going into the game
against Dallas.
While Ross is happy to be
back where he calls home
with the Giants, another
teammate still remains in line
for a homecoming of his own
Sunday.
Tom Coughlin said he
expects wide receiver
Hakeem Nicks to start
against the Panthers despite
missing Fridays practice
with an excused absence for
personal reasons.
Nicks suffered a dislocat-
ed middle nger on his left
hand in the Denver defeat,
but practiced all week and
joked nothing would not
keep him from playing in his
hometown of Charlotte, N.C.,
come Sunday afternoon.
Oh yeah, theyre gonna
see me this time, Nicks said
earlier this week, referenc-
ing the fact that he did not
make the trip to Carolina
last season because of a
knee injury.
After foot and knee ail-
ments plagued his entire
2012 campaign, Nicks had
been a regular contributor
at every Giants practice
since returning Aug. 6 from
a groin issue that cost him
four days in training camp.
The Panthers ruled
out three-quarters of their
starting secondary Friday,
including CB Josh Thomas
(concussion) and S Quintin
Mikell.
Coughlin has made no
secret of the Giants desire to
get their struggling ground
game going Brandon
Jacobs called their 19-carry,
23-yard performance against
the Broncos terrible but
Carolinas injury situation
could make them easy tar-
gets for Eli Manning, receiv-
ers Victor Cruz and Nicks
and the passing attack.

McGahee ready to run again
The Associated Press
BEREA, Ohio The
cursive, decade-old tat-
too on Willis McGahees
neck reads Guess Whos
Back.
Briey out of the league,
he is indeed back again
this time with his fourth
team, hoping to bring sta-
bility to the reeling Browns.
OnWednesday, Cleveland
dealt running back Trent
Richardson to Indianapolis,
less than two years after
drafting him in the rst
round. On Thursday, the
Browns signed McGahee,
who practiced for the rst
time on Friday.
And ready or not,
McGahee, 31, is going
to play Sunday, when the
Browns (0-2) visit the
Minnesota Vikings (0-2).
Such is life in the NFL.
Its a fresh start, a new
beginning, McGahee said.
The players are great, its
a young team. Weve got
work to do.
McGahee, who has
played for Buffalo,
Baltimore and Denver after
a memorable career at the
University of Miami, has a
familiarity with the offense,
but knows he must get the
language down.
I want to come and
do everything I can, he
said. But I gotta gradually
come in. I just cant come
in and do the whole work-
load. But Im going to do
whatever it takes.
Despite the quick
turnaround, coach Rob
Chudzinski has 100 per-
cent faith in him and
knows nothing is holding
him back.
All that said, McGahee
joins the team during one
of its most tumultuous
weeks.
In addition to
Richardsons stunning
trade, third-string quar-
terback Brian Hoyer was
named the starter follow-
ing Brandon Weedens
thumb injury, while wide
receiver Greg Little lost
his starting job to Davone
Bess.
Its not a safe business
where anybody can say
that Im comfortable and
they cant trade me or they
cant cut me or anything
like that, left tackle Joe
Thomas said. Nobodys
untouchable.
Even as a six-time
Pro Bowl player and the
anchor of the offensive
line, Thomas doesnt see
himself as trade-proof.
Thats the way you have
to work, Thomas said.
Because if you ever get
complacent, thats when
youre going to get beat or
play bad.
Thomas also under-
stands that fans are all
too familiar with the con-
cept of rebooting the
team, but he doesnt see
Richardsons trade as
another full-on rebuilding
effort.
It doesnt mean were
starting over from Day
1, Thomas said. Its a
process and were try-
ing to build a consistent
winner. Thats what the
goal is. Obviously, they
felt the trade of Trent is
something that is going
to help move us forward
to be a consistent winner.

but netted a team-
high 28 passing yards.
Even though current
tight end Alex George has
three years of experience as
quarterback in the system,
Sheptock said the thought
of returning George back
behind center was not an
option.
When we made the
switch I told Alex were
jumping in this with both
feet, the coach said. The
only way we wouldve
done that is if Tyler had
gotten hurt in the spring
or during the rst two
weeks of camp. That
was sort of the window
of our go-back period.
The bright spots for
the quarterbacks is that
if Berntsen will miss any
amount of time, Van Mater
and Young have shaken
off the nerves by seeing
action.
They have to get bap-
tism under re at some
point, so Im very optimis-
tic of what theyre going to
be able to bring to the game
because I do believe both
Taylor and Ryan are excel-
lent passers, Sheptock
added. Those are the rst
time that those guys are in
play in varsity ball, so to
say there was a buttery or
two I think that would be
the understatement of the
day.

Dutchmens big frst half dooms Kings
TheTimes Leader staf
ANNVILLE A rough
rst half doomed Kings on
Saturday as Lebanon Valley
jumped out to a 28-point
lead after the rst 30 min-
utes en route to a 38-17 vic-
tory over the Monarchs.
After holding Lebanon
Valley to just a 1-yard rush-
ing TD in the rst quarter,
quarterback Brian Murphy
got going in the second. He
picked up three TD passes
in the period, including two
in the nal 56 seconds of the
rst half as the Dutchmen
opened up a 28-0 lead at
halftime. Overall the signal-
caller threw for 280 yards
and four touchdown passes.
Kings (0-2, 0-1 MAC)
gured out some things in
the second half only allow-
ing 10 points the rest of the
way and outscored Lebanon
Valley 17-10 in that time.
The Monarchs got on
the board midway through
the third quarter when
Kevin Mulvihill drilled a
27-yard eld goal to cut
into Lebanon Valleys lead
at 28-3.
LebVals very next play
was a long scoring play from
Murphy to Jake Ziegler for
73 yards to regain momen-
tum the Monarchs may have
had and extended the lead
to 35-3.
Kings added a pair of
touchdowns in the fourth
quarter. The rst being an
11-yard pass from Tyler
Hartranft to Dan Kempa
capping off a 10-play,
80-yard drive.
The teams second score
of the quarter came defen-
sively with the Dutchmen
driving deep in Kings terri-
tory. Thats when defensive
end Ron Garrett scooped
up a fumble and rumbled 95
yards for the defensive TD.
For Kings, Hartranft
completed 12-of-33 passes
for 146 yards and one touch-
down. Kempa had nine
catches for 114 yards and a
score. Kings tailback Kyle
McGrath was held to 38
yards on 16 carries.

with Dennis Bonvie to hone
his ghting skills.
His approach to becoming a
pro is much like to his approach
on the ice.
An in-your-face style of play.
Just relentless and do whatever
it takes to help my team win,
McGrath said.
McGraths hockey path began
when his brother got him into
the sport and he started playing
for the Pocono Pirates before
heading to Canada in 2011.
And on Saturday, McGrath
found himself skating on the ice
with some of the very Penguin
players he grew up watching.
He didnt hesitate to let them
know about it, either.
He was telling me he
watched me play when he was a
kid, Kostopoulos said. So he
was making me feel a little old.
But its really neat to have
a kid who grew up in Wilkes-
Barre in this dressing room.
In order for McGrath to
remain in the Penguins dress-
ing room for the long-term,
head coach John Hynes said
he has to be able to play to his
strengths.
The number one thing for
a player in his position is you
want to play to your strengths.
Whatever got you here you
want to be able to show,
Hynes said.
While opportunities to ght
in training camp are slim,
McGraths best chance to show
of his skills would be in a game
situation. Hes hoping to play
in an exhibition game with the
Penguins preferably one at
home, but McGrath isnt being
picky.
Hes also willing to play in
the ECHL with Wheeling if
thats what it takes to even-
tually earn a spot with the
Penguins.
I started out in the Q two
years ago and they sent me
down to the Maritime league.
It didnt discourage me,
McGrath said. I had to climb
fromthe bottomup and I came
back to the Q and played every
game, except for the ones I got
suspended for.
notes
Hynes was pleased with
how the rst day of camp
went, especially with how well
the players picked up on drills.
More often than not things
were going right, he said.
Goaltender Peter
Mannino, who signed a deal
with the Penguins over the
summer, didnt practice due to
an injury. Hynes said Mannino
is skating and is considered
day-to-day. In the meantime,
former Penguin netminder
Andy Chiodo has been invited
to camp. Hynes said Chiodo
was brought in as a result of
Mannino missing time, but the
opportunity may be greater.
He (Chiodo) is here
because he has good experi-
ence and we also want to give
him a look, Hynes said.
Kostopoulos, who was
signed to an AHL deal, par-
ticipated in his rst Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton camp since
2003. With 630 games of NHL
experience under his belt,
Kostopoulos is being viewed
as a veteran leader for the
young guys a role he is ne
with.
That will be a big part
of my role here this year
help the younger guys move
along. When I was young in
this organization a lot of older
guys helped me through,
Kostopoulos said. My rst
year Tyler Wright took me
under his wing and taught me
a lot. He was a great guy for
me to look up to. Then Dennis
Bonvie, John Slaney, Chris
Kelleher that whole group.
Thats the good thing about
this organization, they keep
quality people around to help
the young guys.
The Penguins will practice
again today at the Ice Rink at
Coal Street from 10 a.m. to
noon.

Lycoming defense
too much for Cougars
TheTimes Leader staf
WILLIAMSPORT
Playing against one of the
top defenses in the country
over the last few seasons was
problematic for second-year
program Misericordia on
Saturday.
The Cougars, who piled
up 1,076 total yards in their
rst two games, only man-
aged 197 on the afternoon in
a 52-14 loss to Lycoming.
Misericordia (0-3, 0-2
MAC), was in the game early.
After the Warriors (2-1,
2-0) took a 14-0 lead after
their rst two drives, they
were threatening on their
third possession of the game.
But thats when Cougars
defensive back Phil Arnold
intercepted the pass from
Lycoming QB Tyler Jenny
and returned it 52 yards for a
touchdowntrimmingthe lead
to 14-7.
Jenny, missed just three
passes on Saturday, including
the interception.
But that was the lone high-
light for Misericordia until
the fourth quarter.
The Lycoming defense
picked up three sacks, two
interceptions, ve tackles for
a loss and held Misericordias
Jeff Puckett, the MACleading
rusher to just 43 yards on the
ground. The Cougars only
managed 157 rushing yards
after averaging 478.5 the rst
two games of the season.
Jenny threw a pair of TD
passes with the rst giving
the Warriors a 21-7 lead at the
end of the rst quarter.
Lycoming tacked on three
more scores in the second
quarter opening up a 42-7
lead at halftime as Craig
Needhammer (182 rushing
yards) had two of his three
TDs in the second period.
TheCougars other scoreof
the game came in the fourth
when backup quarterback

Phillys Shoemaker does it again

SCRANTON Jake
Shoemaker ran to his second
straight win in the Race for the
Cure 5K Run on Saturday at
Courthouse Square in downtown
Scranton.
Shoemaker, 28, of Philadelphia,
led a eld of more than a thousand
runners, nishing in 17 minutes
and 12 seconds. He outran sec-
ond-place nisher, Mark Arzie, 17,
of Jermyn, by nine seconds. Brian
Conniff, 56, of Moscow, nished
third in 18:29.
The pressure was on,
Shoemaker said. After winning
last year, my family was expecting
me to win again. If I hadnt won
again, they would have been bust-
ing me. But I was able to pull it
off.
Shoemaker didnt go out too
hard at the start. He actually took
the lead at the top of the hill near
Coopers Bar and Restaurant a
little later in the race than when he
took the lead in last years event.
Once I took the lead, I just tried
to push it as hard as I could, said
Shoemaker, who ran track and
cross country in high school, but
not at the college level. At times,
throughout the race, Shoemaker
had a large lead over Arzie as
much as an entire city bock. But
Arzie closed on Shoemaker late in
the race. But Shoemaker was able
to hold on for the victory.
Kathleen Casey didnt have to
chase anybody down en route
to her female division victory
in 18:57. The 23-year-old from
Dickson City led right from the
start and never relinquished the
lead. Kristen Wilce, 29, of Old
Forge, nished second in 21:24.
Patti Betti, 16, of Moscow, n-
ished third in 21:53.
I took some time off fromtrain-
ing, Casey said. Ive been run-
ning, but not hard. I only started
training hard for this race about a
month ago. But, I did OK. I want
to get back in shape so I can run in
the Steamtown Marathon not
this year, but hopefully next year
or the year after.
Casey ran track and cross coun-
try for Bishop OHara and eventu-
ally Holy Cross High School. At
the college level, she ran for three
years at St. Josephs University
and one year for West Chester
University.
This years race, according to
Dolly Woody, executive director
of Susan G. Komen Northeastern
Pennsylvania, Drew about 5,000
participants. That gure is down
by about 1,500 from last year.
Last year, between the race
and other race-related events, we
were able to fund about $292,000
for education, screening and treat-
ment grants to non-prot organi-
zations throughout 16 counties
in northeastern Pennsylvania,
Woody said. For this year, it looks
like were going to reach our goal
of $275,000. The race is for one
day, but the impact is forever.
Seventy-ve percent of the
money raised from the event stays
in northeastern Pennsylvania, 25
percent goes for breast cancer
research.

DELAWARE, Ohio
Vegas Vacation won
the Little Brown Jug
late Thursday, beating
Urbanite Hanover by
two lengths in 1:50 at
the Delaware County
Fairgrounds.
It was the second
straight Little Brown Jug
victory for trainer Casie
Coleman, who won with
Michaels Power in 2012.
In the second heat,
driver Brian Sears went
first over and got Vegas
Vacation to the front at
the three-quarter mark
in 1:22. Vegas Vacation
came home in 28 seconds
to earn the victory in the
second leg of the three-
year-old pacing Triple
Crown.
After the first elimina-
tion, Coleman changed
the shoes on Vegas
Vacation.
The shoeing change
(to steel shoes) made a
big difference. I knew he
was sticking to the track,
said Coleman. Plus, I
shortened his hobbles by
a half inch.
Vegas Vacation, with
Sears driving, took the
first elimination with a
three-wide move at the
three-quarter mark, win-
ning by 2 1/4 lengths in
1:50. Lucan Hanover,
driven by David Miller,
won the second elimina-
tion by 3 1/2 lengths, in
1:49.4. Miller also made a
three-wide move at three-
quarters to get to the top.
Resistance Futile, a
24-1 shot, made a big
move past the half mile
to win the third elimina-
tion in 1:49.3. Driven
by Corey Callahan,
Resistance Futile won by
5 1/2 lengths.
Lucan Hanover, also
trained by Coleman,
was third in the final.
Resistance Futile broke
stride and finished eighth.
Capt ai nt reac herous
won the Cane Pace, the
first leg of the Triple
Crown, at Tioga Downs
on Sept. 2, but did not
race in the Little Brown
Jug.

Sandbergs hiring a mere formality
MATTGELB
The Philadelphia Inquirer
The initial days were
awkward, and there was no
handbook to guide Ryne
Sandberg. The Hall of Fame
player carries impressive cre-
dentials, but he replaced the
most successful manager in
Phillies history. Talk about
next year was suppressed
his stated focus was just the
next days game and having
six weeks to make an impres-
sion.
But from the moment
Sandberg was hired prior to
the 2011 season as the man-
ager of triple-ALehighValley,
it was assumed he would suc-
ceed Charlie Manuel. A suc-
cessful stint as interim man-
ager with a depleted teamfar
from postseason contention
only solidied Sandbergs
future as the 52nd manager
in Phillies history.
His promotion is a mere
formality.
It will be intriguing to
see which coaches hired
by Manuel are retained by
Sandberg. While the Phillies
are evaluating everyone,
Sandberg said forming a
coaching staff is not a prior-
ity.
No, Sandberg said, Im
not doing that at all.

Novas gempowers Yankees
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Ivan
Nova pitched a six-hitter
for his second career shut-
out, Eduardo Nunez hit
a two-run homer and the
New York Yankees kept
pace in the AL wild-card
chase Saturday with an
6-0 victory over the San
Francisco Giants.
Alfonso Soriano con-
nected for the second
straight day and Robinson
Cano had an RBI single in
a three-run third against
Ryan Vogelsong (3-6),
helping New York win for
just the third time in eight
games.
New York entered three
games behind Cleveland
for the second AL wild card
with three teams ahead.
The Yankees have seven
games remaining, includ-
ing three against the wild-
card leading Tampa Bay
Rays.
A day before New York
honors retiring closer
Mariano Rivera in a pre-
game ceremony, Nova (9-5)
gave the Yankees bullpen a
rest.
Rays 5, Orioles 1
ST. PETERSBURG,
Fla. Desmond Jennings
drove in four runs, Alex
Cobb took a three-hit shut-
out into the ninth inning
and the Tampa Bay Rays
beat the Baltimore Orioles
in a matchup of exhausted
teams to maintain their
lead in the AL wild-card
race.
The rst pitch came 10
hours, 56 minutes after the
Rays 5-4, 18-inning win
over Baltimore that ended
at 2:05 a.m., a game that
stretched on for 6:54 a
record time for both teams.
Saturdays game, by com-
parison, seemed to breeze
by in 2:51.
Tampa Bay (85-69)
moved one game ahead of
Cleveland (84-70), which
led for the second wild-
card berth pending its
game against Houston later
Saturday. The Orioles (81-
73) dropped three games
behind the Indians and now
have three others teams in
front of them.
Blue Jays 4, Red Sox 2
BOSTON Clay
Buchholz lost for the rst
time this season, and the
AL East champion Boston
Red Sox fell to Mark
Buehrle and the Toronto
Blue Jays.
A day after the Red Sox
clinched the division title,
they lost for just the sixth
time in 21 games.
Buchholz (11-1) gave
up two earned runs on six
hits and two walks in six
innings. He had pitched
11 scoreless innings in his
previous two starts, his
rst since spending three
months on the disabled list
with a strained neck.
Buchholz was the rst
Boston pitcher to start a
season 11-0 in his initial 14
starts since Roger Clemens
went 13-0 in 1986.
Indians 4, Astros 1
CLEVELAND Scott
Kazmir allowed four hits
in seven shutout innings,
Michael Brantley hit a
two-run homer and the
Cleveland Indians main-
tained their hold on an AL
wild-card spot with a win
over the Houston Astros.
Cleveland began
Saturday with a half-game
lead over Texas for the
ALs second wild card. The

There are more than just pigeons and stray cats roaming the
wilds of the city, and readers have been noticing. Despite being
an urban landscape, the Wyoming Valley hosts many species of
wildlife that go unnoticed.
Fortunately, these two examples happened to reveal themselves
when a camera was handy. Gary Russell photographed this family
of red foxes in May along the river in South Wilkes-Barre, near
the Barney Farms area. Russell wrote that the adult female fox
had five kits this spring, and while living along the river he wit-
nessed the group feeding on a goose she had killed. Russell said
he and his wife first noticed the foxes in April while riding their
bikes on the dike. In addition to the daily fox sightings, Russell
said he also saw a bald eagle flying over the area.
Lastly, what is becoming a more common example of urban
wildlife lately is the black bear. Kelly Maniskas was traveling on
Eighth Street in Wyoming on July 27, when she photographed
this large bear crossing the street. Maniskas was with her moth-
er, Karen Mazzaccaro, at the time when this large bruin appeared
in the street. Its likely not the last time this bear, or others, will
venture into Wyoming Borough.

CAuGht on CAmErA
Adeep
woods
encounter
With an elongated body and
a long, bushy tail, the creature
was a mystery the second I
saw it loping out of a hollow
and heading in my direction.
I had just started down a
steep hillside
and stopped to
observe for a
minute when I
first spotted the
dark brown ani-
mal.
The September
woods were still
and silent, and I
knelt beside the
same oak tree
where I sat last
fall and called a
flock of turkeys.
But this animal wasnt a tur-
key.
It was a fisher an elusive,
silent predator whose num-
bers are rebounding across the
state.
My first encounter with a
fisher occurred in 1997, when
I trapped one in a dirthole set
I made for fox. With its sloped
forehead and rounded ears, the
animal resembled a bear cub
from a distance.
I released the fisher
unharmed, never to come face-
to-face with another one until
last week.
As the fisher made its way
up the hillside directly toward
me, I marveled at its length.
Well over three feet long, I
surmised that this particular
fisher was a male. One of the
largest members of the wea-
sel family in Pennsylvania
only the river otter is bigger
fishers are one of the few
predators that can efficiently
prey upon porcupine. They are
also unique in that they can
hunt on the forest floor or in
the trees.
Thats one reason why I
wasnt surprised that the fish-
er I watched traversed the for-
est floor matter-of-factly. After
all, if a fisher doesnt fear a
porcupines quills, there isnt
much likely to stand in its way.
Including me.
I knelt motionless beside
the oak and watched the fish-
er approach closer, pausing
occasionally to peer under a
log or scan the hillside. Its
movements were deliberate
but it overlooked the fact that
a human was nearby, even as it
drew within 20 yards.
I appreciate the secretive
nature of the fisher. It wants to
remain deep in the woods and
be left alone, far removed from
any remnants of civilization.
Its not that much different
than those of us whose main
reason for spending a day in
the woods is simply to get
away from it all.
I thought about that as I
watched the fisher walk on top
of a fallen tree and continue
in my direction. Considering
its a member of the weasel
family some of the most
efficient killers when it comes
to Pennsylvanias predators
I wondered how the fisher
would react if it unknowingly
walked right up to me. So far,
as the distance between us

Legislation to
help disabled
veterans
From our wire services
Sen. Lisa Baker (R-20) and
Sen. Scott Hutchinson (R-21)
have introduced legislation to
help more disabled veterans
receive free hunting and fish-
ing licenses.
Baker, who serves as Chair
of the Senate Veterans Affairs
and Emergency Preparedness
Committee, and Hutchinson,
who serves as a member of
that committee, acted as soon
as they learned that many
disabled veterans who are
considered unemployable
under a federal rating system
are being denied free hunting
and fishing licenses, a ben-
efit accorded to 100 percent
disabled veterans under state
law.
Veterans who have served
but who have been injured in
combat face so many barri-
ers, Baker said. Financial
restraints or confusion over
eligibility should never be
a barrier for them as they
endeavor to enjoy the great
outdoors and apply for a ben-
efit they have undoubtedly
earned.
Senate bills 1090 and 1091
clarify that a veteran who is
deemed to be 100 percent
disabled by the U.S. Veterans
Administration due to unem-
ployability will be able to
receive a free hunting and fish-
ing license in Pennsylvania.
These bills are about hon-
oring true American heroes
who, in many cases, have
lost their limbs, their mobil-
ity and their ability to work
while serving our country,
Hutchinson said. Extending
this benefit is another way to
honor those who have sacri-
ficed so much to protect our
homeland.

Hunting for a healthy season
Check seminar provides guidance
before heading afeld
tomVEnESKY
[email protected]
It may sound like a stretch, but the way
Dr. Ammar Abbasi sees it, hunters arent
that different than any other athlete. Much
like a player prepares for a football, hockey
or baseball game, hunters need to do the
same before they head aeld, Abbasi said.
OnThursday, those attending the Hunters
Health Fair at the Hazleton Health and
Wellness Center got a jump on their prepa-
rations for the upcoming seasons. Staff from
the center and the Alliance Medical Group
offered hunters a number of screenings,
including heart-rhythm, cholesterol, vision
and body mass index, and instructed them
on how to prepare for the physical demands
of a hunting season. According to Leigh
Ann Wiedlich, community relations coor-
dinator for the alliance, approximately 85
hunters turned out for the event, which was
being held for the rst time.
It was a very robust turnout for our inau-
gural event, Wiedlich said. We hope to do
it again, and were thinking of holding one
in the spring for the shermen and turkey
hunters.
Aside from the cardio exertion, hunting
can be especially taxing on joints and mus-
cles, said Abbasi, who is a physical medi-
cine and rehabilitation specialist. Archery
hunters can experience signicant shoul-
der pain, the recoil of a rie can be hard on
the shoulder joint and dragging a deer the
wrong way can cause a back injury, he said.
Hunters are out there from dawn to dusk
and a lot of times they may not realize how
physical it is, Abbasi said. There are a lot
of similarities with what other athletes deal
with and what we see from hunting ts right
into the sports-related injuries.
With the start of archery and the small
game seasons a few weeks ago, along with
more than two months before the Dec. 2
start of rie deer season, Abbasi said there
is still plenty of time for hunters to get their
bodies in shape before heading aeld.
Wearing a uorescent orange vest, Abbasi
instructed hunters on steps they can take to
avoid injuries.
When they practice for archery season,
say they use a 60-pound bow and shoot 30
arrows. Thats equivalent to lifting 5,000
pounds, he said. That can cause signi-
cant shoulder pain, as can just releasing the
bow string. Its similar to a baseball pitcher
throwing the ball.
The shoulder also takes the brunt of the
impact when a rie recoils, Abbasi said.
The best protection for your shoulder
joint is to strengthen that muscle, he said.
Do workouts to get it ready for that stress.
Building muscle is the best way to protect
that joint.
Perhaps the biggest cause of pain results
from dragging a deer. Abbasi said if done
improperly it can be extremely painful on
the lower back. To avoid this, he recom-
mended against bending forward when
dragging a deer.
Instead, Abbasi suggested using a rope
and stick behind the back and pulling the
deer that way.
Staying upright is the key, he said.
Dave Bieniek of Evervale took advantage
of the fair as he prepares for the fall hunt-
ing and trapping seasons. Bieniek, 57, said
he has hunted all his life and while his job
requires a lot of heavy lifting, its not the
same as the demands that come with hunt-
ing.
Where I hunt you have to be like a billy
goat, going up and down mountains, and
climbing in and out of treestands, he said.
The older you get, it doesnt get any easi-
er.
Bieniek had a heart-rhythm screen per-
formed at the fair and said he intends on
walking more to improve his cardio system
before hunting season starts.
Imreally glad they did this event because
it makes you aware of what can happen and
gives you the information to prevent it,
Bieniek said.
The cardio demands of hunting are
one of the biggest concerns, according
to Gail Malloy, trauma program man-
ager at the alliance. Hunting is unique,
she said, because it has three factors that
are demanding on the heart steep ter-
rain, cold temperatures and excitement.

has to offer, Roe said.
The state game lands
system has a long his-
tory in Pennsylvania.
In 1919, the Game
Commission was grant-
ed authority to purchase
lands for the protec-
tion, propagation and
management of game
and wildlife, and to
provide areas for pub-
lic hunting and trap-
ping. Since that time,
the Game Commission
has acquired more than
1.4 million acres in 65
of the states 67 coun-
ties (Philadelphia and
Delaware counties
being the exceptions).
With few exceptions,
state game lands were
purchased using rev-
enues from hunting and
furtaker license sales;
state game lands timber,
coal, oil, gas and mineral
operation revenues; the
states share of a federal
excise tax on sporting
arms and ammunition,
known as the Pittman-
Robertson Wildlife
Restoration Program;
from Working Together
for Wildlife artwork and
patch sales; and from the
Pennsylvania Waterfowl
Management stamp and

decreased, it hadnt
shown any sign that it
was aware of my pres-
ence.
Until it got to within
15 feet and disappeared
behind a tree.
I anxiously waited
for the fisher to make a
move and re-appear on
one side of the tree, but
it didnt. I enjoyed this
up-close encounter with
the fisher while I could
see it, but now I didnt
know what was going
to happen next. Would
it appear somewhere in
the forest canopy above
me? Would it come out
from behind the tree
and approach even clos-
er? How would it act if
startled by my presence?
After a few seconds, I
decided to answer those
questions myself and
slowly leaned my head
to peer behind the tree.
As I did, I saw the fisher
standing on its hind legs
doing the same thing
with its head to get a bet-
ter look at me. For a brief
second, our eyes met as
the fisher tucked its front
paws into its chest and
shot me an intense glare.
Than it exploded into
a ball of brown fur and
rocketed back down the
hillside, vanishing into
the hollow below.
All that remained
was the stillness of the
woods, and the memory
of a face-to-face encoun-
ter with a truly mysteri-
ous creature.

ATLANTA Henrik
Stenson was so awless that
he built a nine-shot lead at
the turn Saturday in the Tour
Championship.
Four bogeys in the rain on the
back nine at East Lake put him
right back where he started the
day and injected some hope for
Dustin Johnson and a few other
players.
Stenson made two bogeys on
the last three holes he made
a 12-foot par putt on the other
and had to settle for a 1-under
69. That gave him a four-shot
lead over Johnson going in to
the nal day of the PGA Tour
season.
Stenson appeared to have both
wrapped up when he got up-and-
down from a bunker on the par-5
ninth for a tap-in birdie to reach
14 under, nine shots clear of
Johnson. Everything changed as
the rain began to fall.
Stenson pulled his approach
into a corporate hospitality area
to the left of the 10th green. He
hooked a tee shot on the 14th
that ran across a cart path and
under a bush, and he had to
make a 12-foot putt for bogey. He
made bogey from the bunker on
the 16th. What really stung was
a three-putt bogey on the par-3
18th.
I think Ill choose to look at
it from the bright side, even
though the weather is not that
bright at the moment, Stenson
said after setting down a rain-
soaked umbrella. Started the
day with a four-shot lead and I
still got it. So thats all that mat-
ters really.
Johnson made two late birdies
and two solid pars, getting up-
and-down after a close call with
the water on the 17th, and then
making a 30-foot par save on the
last hole for a 67 that put him in
the last group.Johnson was the
last man into the 30-man eld at
East Lake, and he left Chicago
on Monday not sure whether he
would get in. Now he at least has
a shot to start and end the sea-
son with a victory.
Tiger Woods, the No. 1 seed,
didnt make a birdie until he
chipped in on the 14th hole. He
rallied for a 69, the rst time he
has broken par all week.

PGC recognizes
retiring dispatcher
Dennis Barney Dobinick, of Sweet Valley, recently retired
after 25 years of service as a dispatcher for the Pennsylvania
Game Commission Northeast Region. The Northeast Region of
the Game Commission consists of 13 counties and 23 individual
Wildlife Conservation Ofcer districts. Dobinick was responsi-
ble for handling wildlife and hunting-related calls from the pub-
lic and directing information to Wildlife Conservation Ofcers
and their deputies. Dobinick was well known for his knowledge
of the game code, emergency-response procedures, and excep-
tional public-relations skills. Shown are Dobinick, left, with PGC

If you shoot a deer or even if
you miss, your heart races, she
said.
Even a hunters preparations
the morning of a hunt can impact
the heart. Malloy pointed out the
tradition of eating a big break-
fast of eggs, bacon and potatoes,
before hitting the woods. That can
put the heart at risk as more blood
ow is directed to aid digestion,
she said.
The cardio demands were
the main reason why Dr. Joseph
Laureti, a board-certied cardiolo-
gist at the center, was on hand to
conduct free heart-rhythm screen-
ings along with gauging each
hunters risk for heart disease.
While a person may lead an
active lifestyle, Laureti said,
chances are the activity required
by hunting exceeds what their
body is conditioned for.
Most people dont perform
the amount of activity that comes
with hunting on a daily basis,
especially in the cold weather,
he said. The cold combined with
exertion and the extra weight of
dragging a deer can cause things
to manifest.
Hunting season is the time of
year that they go out and do more
than they do at any other time.
During the heart-rhythm
screenings, Laureti monitored
hunters for either a normal or
irregular heartbeat and advised
them if more testing was recom-
mended.
Its good to see hunters come
out here and be pro-active, he
said. This is a starting point.
Gander Mountain and the
Pennsylvania Game Commission
also had informational booths at
the event. Wildlife Conservation
Ofcer Dave Allen said the big-
gest topic that he addressed was
lyme disease.
Over the years, Allen said, he
and other WCOs have assisted
on calls for an injured hunter that
ended up having a heart attack in
the woods.
So many aspects of hunting
are about physical activity and
Ive seen what can happen rst-
hand, Allen said. A lot of the
hunters I spoke to would like to
see this even held again before
the next season, and it denitely
was a good idea. The interest is
there.

Tracks slow to embrace
heralded Air Titan
DAN GElStON
AP Sports Writer
LOUDON, N.H. The
forecast calls for rain at New
Hampshire, potentially soaking
fans for NASCARs second con-
secutive Chase race, and putting
the threat of a Monday nish in
play.
Without lights at the 1.058-
mile track, the rush could be for
jet fuel dryers to wring out the
asphalt and make it safe for driv-
ers to complete at least half of
Sundays race before the sun goes
down.
NASCAR had an idea that
would speed up the interminable
process. It developed a state-of-
the art system that was designed
to blow the water out of every
pesky weeper and reduce track
drying time, perhaps up to 80
percent.
Hailed as NASCARs next
big innovation, NASCAR chair-
man Brian France promised at
a January announcement the
development would revolution-
ize track drying and dramatically
improve the fan experience.
Instead, the Air Titan has been
start-and-parked.
With rain looming, the Air
Titan isnt at New Hampshire
this weekend. Just like it wasnt
at the rain-delayed Chase opener
at Chicagoland. And it wont be at
the third Chase race next week at
Dover. Its stuck in Concord, N.C.
When the rain comes, the
NASCAR tracks will rely on the
same drying methods theyve
used since the 1970s. New
Hampshire has at least a half-
dozen jet dryers and two tankers
of fuel that will be used to dry the
track.
Drivers will retreat to their
motorhomes. Fans at the track
will leave. The ones at home will
tune out.
Noone likes the rain. But tracks
have been slow to embrace the
Air Titan, putting the machine on
a Sprint Cup sabbatical since May
at Talladega.
They hyped it, track owner
Bruton Smith said. But I dont
know anybody that thought it
was effective. If they have enough
jet dryers, they do the job.

Penguins Vokoun has surgery
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh
Penguins backup goaltender
Tomas Vokoun had surgery
Saturday to remove a blood clot
from his pelvis and will remain
in the hospital for several days.
General manager Ray Shero
announced the operation after
the Penguins 5-3 preseason loss
to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
He said Vokoun left the
Saturday morning practice at
CONSOL Energy Center after
noticing swelling in his thigh. He
was taken to a local emergency
room, where doctors diagnosed
the blood clot.
The most important thing
right now is Tomas health and
well-being, Shero said. The
clot was dissolved by the proce-
dure, and the doctors tell us that
he will remain in the hospital for
several days. We will continue to
monitor his progress after that.
The 37-year-oldVokounplayed
20 regular-season games for
the Penguins in 2012-13, going
13-4 with a 2.45 goals-against
average. He also appeared in 11
playoff games and was 6-5 with a
2.10 GAA.
Jeff Zatkoff is likely to be
the Penguins backup goalie in
Vokouns absence.
blue Jackets 5, Penguins 3
PITTSBURGH Boone
Jenner scored his second goal of
the game to offset Jussi Jokinens
hat trick and lift the Columbus
Blue Jackets to a victory over
the Pittsburgh Penguins in a pre-
season game.
Jenner notched the winner by
banking a backhander in off of
trafc in front 7:21 into the third
period.
Brandon Dubinsky and Jenner
scored in the rst period and
Cam Atkinson added a goal
in the second before Jokinen
scored three straight goals in a
span of 8:28 in the second to tie
the game.
Derek MacKenzie added an
empty netter with 44 seconds
left in the game.
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped
19 of 23 Columbus shots, while
last seasons Vezina Trophy win-
ner Sergei Bobrovsky made 38
saves.
Caps to host Winter Classic
WASHINGTON The
Winter Classic is moving south
of the Mason-Dixon Line, which
means its time to check the fore-

Washington Capitals owner
TedLeonsis announcedSaturday
that the Capitals will host the
NHLs annual New Years Day
outdoor game in 2015. Hes been
lobbying for the game for years.
The Capitals were the visiting
team in Pittsburgh for the 2011
Winter Classic, which was post-
poned several hours because of
rain.
The average high temperature
on Jan. 1 in Washington is 44
degrees, with a record of 69 set
in 2005. This seasons Winter
Classic will be held in Michigan,
but a goodlitmus test for outdoor
hockey in a warmer climate will
come Jan. 5 when the Anaheim
Ducks will play the Los Angeles
Kings at Dodger Stadium.
Still to be determined are a
venue and an opponent. NHL
Chief Operating Ofcer John
Collins said the league will
consider Nationals Park, RFK
Stadium and FedEx Field.
Leonsis would prefer to rule out
FedEx Field, which is located
outside the city in Landover,
Md.

SECTION D
LEVI SUMAGAYSAY
San Jose Mercury News
From employee perks to the
color of their ofce walls, the old
guard of Silicon Valley is taking
cues from the new.
Google Inc. is famous for its
free food and more, featured over
the summer in the lm The
Internship. But tech companies
that have been around much longer
are evolving as they compete with
younger, seemingly hipper compa-
nies for talent.
Since Conan OBrien did a
bit on Intels gray cubes and gray
walls in 2007, says Gail Dundas,
a communications manager with
the 45-year-old Santa Clara, Calif.,
chipmaker, there has been a sea
change at the company that
includes getting rid of cubicles and
infusing color into the workplace.
Cisco Systems Inc., another
longtime Silicon Valley company,
is also transforming its workspac-
es. Some departments are getting
rid of assigned workspaces, tap-
ping Ciscos own networking tech-
nology that enables employees to
become more mobile. Elsewhere
on the campus, some of the 56
buildings at the companys San
Jose, Calif., headquarters are at
various stages of a remodel, with
new features including lounge
areas with comfy couches, pool
tables and cocoon-shaped chairs.
We want people to come out for
a minute, think outside the box,
said Allan McGinty, director of
workplace design and develop-
ment. As this newspaper toured
Ciscos San Jose campus recently,
McGinty spoke from Raleigh, N.C.,
using WebEx, the companys vid-
eoconferencing system.
Showing that its efforts are
apparently paying off with young
workers, Ciscos interns praise its
culture.

Company says new
operating system will
give whole new feel
to iPhone
Apples iOS7
a big change
for users
CHRIS OBRIEN
Los Angeles Times (MCT)
SAN FRANCISCO While
Apples new iPhones have hogged
the spotlight in recent days, a
seemingly more mundane soft-
ware update may be far more cru-
cial to the tech giant.
On Wednesday, Apple Inc.
released a radically redesigned
iOS 7 mobile operating system
that Apple Chief Executive Tim
Cook described as the biggest
change to the iPhone since the
devices introduction in 2007.
Indeed, some analysts say the
iOS 7 represents a bigger depar-
ture for users and developers in
terms of the experience than the
new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c that
went on sale Friday.
The question now is whether
iOS 7 will reinvigorate the gad-
get that launched the smartphone
revolution but has seen growth
slow this year or will frustrate
users and developers as they try to
learn the softwares interface.
I think people arent antici-
pating how big of a deal the new
iOS 7 will be, said Carl Howe, a
Yankee Group analyst. The soft-
ware is very different than where
theyve been. And the thing that
is going to blow peoples mind is
that its going to make it feel like
theyre getting a new phone.
For that reason, some analysts
have even speculated that iOS 7
could damp new iPhone sales this
weekend. Will people put off an
iPhone purchase because the soft-
ware makes it feel like they just
got a new phone for free?
Analysts will be watching close-
ly for reactions. IOS 7 will be
available as a free download for
most Apple mobile devices: the
iPhone 4 or later; the iPad 2 or
later; the iPad Mini; and the fth-
generation iPod Touch.
The iOS 7 software arrives
almost a year after Cook
announced a management over-
haul that saw Scott Forstall, who
had been in charge of iOS for
years, pushed out.
The development of iOS 7
was overseen by his replace-
ment, Craig Federighi, Apples
senior vice president of software
engineering. The interface of
the new software was created
by a team led by Jonathan Ive,
Apples senior vice president of
design, who saw his role expand
last year to include software
as well as hardware designs.
Getting rid
of student debt
takes real talent
Corey Nelson, 27, graduated from
Michigan State Universitys law
school in 2012 with a plan to work
his way out of six gures in student
loan debt.
His goal was to work in public ser-
vice by getting a job as an attorney
for the government, maybe on the
state or local level,
and qualify for a fed-
eral student loan for-
giveness program to
tackle that debt.
First challenge: get-
ting hired in a govern-
ment job. Its not all
that easy.
Many students
would like to see their
student loans just go
away. But getting rid
of student loans can
take real talent, disci-
pline and some creative solutions.
Many students and parents arent
even aware that some loan forgive-
ness programs exist, though. A fed-
eral consumer watchdog agency is
trying to bring more light to the fed-
eral Public Service loan Forgiveness
program was created by Congress in
2007.
A student loan forgiveness pro-
gram typically rewards graduates for
taking careers in public service, such
as police ofcers, teachers, social
workers and reghters. The college
graduate still makes regular monthly
payments on a student loan but can
look forward to having a good chunk
of debt forgiven in the long run, if he
or she follows specic requirements.
Some individual states have spe-
cic student loan breaks for specic
career choices, too.
As for Nelson? He has a job. But
Nelson has been working for a year
at a small general practice law rm
in Shawano, Wisc. If he kept working
there, he wouldnt qualify for public
service loan forgiveness.
But nally he found a government
job and he just accepted a job offer
from the city of Madison, Wis.
For the debt forgiveness program
to work, hes going to need to keep
making payments for 10 years and
continue working in public service.
The hope obviously is that the
program will still be there, said
Nelson, who pays about $400 a
month in student loans and expects
to save ve gures with loan forgive-
ness.
Sign up for a repayment plan
Tyler Shelton, 23, who just started
graduate school for urban planning
at Wayne State University, said he
had never even heard of loan forgive-
ness programs. But if it works, he
might consider it as an option to
deal with what could end up as much
as $50,000 in student loan debt.
Students need to follow specic
rules to make this work, too.
Many borrowers would need to
sign up for an income-based repay-
ment plan to ensure maximum
savings and make this work. Youd
need to keep track of the necessary
paperwork. An increase in income
would lead to an increase in your

Catch those seafood deals before they swim away
Shrimp fans, hurry up and get to Red
Lobster because their $15.99 Endless Shrimp
special will come to an end this week.
But the shrimp fun continues at
Outback Steakhouse where the $14.99
deal that gets you a 6-ounce steak and
all you can eat shrimp still runs for at
least another week.
Speaking of Outback, the end is
near at least for this year for
the Bloomin Newman promotion.
Throughout the NASCAR season,
anytime driver Ryan Newman nished
a race in the top 10, you could go to
Outback on Monday and get a free
Bloomin Onion with any purchase.
The past three Mondays were among 13
so far this season that the freebie was offered.
So pay attention to todays Sylvania 300
at loudon, New Hampshire, and if Newman,
driving the No. 39 car, scores a top 10 nish,
you score the next day. Hes raced at this
track 23 times in his career and has 15
top 10 nishes, so the odds are good that
youll be visiting Outback Monday.
Join me in saying a hearty muy bien

For a while Ive been touting the ben-
ets of movie/game rental units like Red Box
and Blockbuster Express. And occasionally
Redbox gives out codes that can be entered
at the kiosk to get free or discounted mov-
ies. When I get them, I like to share them, so
heres one that will nab you a free DVD rental:
Use the code MCPC213S at the kiosk today
only. If used on Blu-ray and game rentals the
code will deduct $1.20 off the rental price.
And heres a tip, if you have two credit cards,
you can get two movies today. The code is
good for a one-time use, per credit card. So
perhaps todays a good time for a free double-
feature?
Here are some ways to use the coupons
found in todays Times leader at area stores:
Take the $1 off a Tyson Grilled and
Ready coupon to Shur Save where the items
are on sale for $3.99. Youll pay just $2.99.
Colgate mouthwash is on sale for $3 at
Price Chopper and with the $1 off coupon
you will pay just $2.
No coupons needed for the deal CVS has
this week on some stomach relief. See page 15
of its circular for a list of products included in
a deal that will get you $10 in Extra Bucks if
you spend $20. With the holidays around the
corner, its probably safe to stock up now on
these products so theyre on hand if you need
them at a family gathering.
Rite Aid, not to be outdone, has several
Crest and Oral-B products listed on its circu-
lars front page that you will pay $3 for and get
the full purchase price returned by way of +Up
Rewards. The $3 coupon will be able to be
used on a future store purchase.

Were going to witness
an event almost unprec-
edented in our history when
overnight virtually hun-
dreds of millions of people
download iOS 7 and begin
a fantastic new experience
with their new devices,
Federighi said last week
during Apples iPhone
media event.
The new iOS ditches
some familiar elements,
such as designs meant to
mimic real-world equiva-
lents, like bookshelves with
wood grain. These types of
tricks were intended to cre-
ate a feeling of familiarity
when Apple was introduc-
ing a revolutionary new
device.
But now that smart-
phones are commonplace,
Apple is introducing a new
interface with what is being
called a more modern look
and feel.
On iOS 7, the home
screen has a more three-
dimensional look, with the
applications appearing to
oat far above the back-
ground wallpaper image.
The apps have what is
described as a atter look,
losing some of the fake
lighting effects that made
them appear to be rounded.
Apple has also added
new swipe gestures to allow
quicker access to control
settings. There is a translu-
cent look that lets a user see
through different apps that
might be running simulta-
neously. Apps will automati-
cally update as new versions
become available. And
iOS 7 also includes iTunes
Radio, Apples new stream-
ing music service.

The managers respect our input
and ideas, he said. The mobile app he
worked on last summer is now used by
employees who need help navigating
around Ciscos huge campus.
Sierra Parker, a University of
Pennsylvania student who at the ripe
old age of 20 has already interned at
the White House, said she wanted to
leave her internship there early because
she worked alone and without adequate
supervision.
This summer was different because she
wanted to stay longer at Cisco, where as
an IT intern she had a chance to work
with people constantly. Telecommuting
is another Cisco selling point, but Parker
says everyone likes to come into the
ofce. And yes, she loved the free pop-
corn in the break room.
But even as the more established com-
panies try to make their workspaces and
culture more inviting, theyre still grap-
pling with challenges that cant help but
affect morale. Cisco announced recently
that it is laying off 4,000 people, about
5 percent of its global workforce. Intel
Corp., too, is trying to expand its hori-
zons amid a slump in its bread-and-butter
PC business
While companies like Cisco and Intel
are trying to catch up to newer rms like
Google, theres a whole new wave of com-
panies that are taking workplace culture
in new directions.
As a startup, its probably no surprise
that Square, the San Francisco payments
company founded in 2009, has never
had cubicles or ofces, according to
spokeswoman Lindsay Wiese. Square
executives often work at stand-up tables,
she said.
So even though the companys ofce
is in an old-school building that houses
an old-school product (the San Francisco
Chronicle, although Square is moving a
few blocks away into its new headquar-
ters in the fall), its workplace was con-
ceived in the age of open and collab-
orative ofces.
And some tech workers are looking for
newer companies than even Facebook or
Google. And smaller.
Some people get tired of the large-
company feel, said Domingo Guerra,
co-founder of startup Appthority. The
2-year-old provider of mobile-application
security management has about 20 staff-
ers, with half coming from larger compa-
nies. Guerra himself worked at Brocade
and Applied Materials.
How did Guerra and his team attract
workers? Theyre well aware of the allure
of San Francisco, so they put their head-
quarters there. Appthority also offers
catered meals a couple of times a week.
And the ofce doesnt have cubicles.
We all hated it at the big companies,
Guerra said. We dont have ofces,
either. We all sit together.
Not only do they sit together at the
ofce, some of them also sit together at
baseball games. The company bought a
few Giants season tickets that its workers
share.
But not only new companies are ock-
ing to San Francisco. Having an ofce
there is also a plus for Adobe Systems
Inc., the San Jose software company that
in December celebrated its 30th anniver-
sary.
But dont call the company old. We
may be an established company, said
Donna Morris, senior vice president,
but were in an emerging area in terms of
products and solutions, such as Adobes
new push to sell its software as a service.
The transformation in its products is
seeping into the culture. Earlier this year,
executives moved to one open oor in
San Jose. It has no ofces, not even for
CEO Shantanu Narayen. Adobes 11,500
employees around the world enjoy perks
such as gyms, oil changes on site, game
rooms.
Theres a rock-climbing wall at its Utah
ofces.
Our culture is very different today,
Morris said. We continue to change.

monthly payment under an income-
based repayment plan.
As it takes 10 years of on-time qualify-
ing payments before debt is forgiven,
it will be at least 2017 before the rst
round of federal student loans are for-
given.
No one knows quite how this pro-
gram will work yet, or if Congress may
decide it costs more than they counted
on and change it once they start the
loan forgiveness in 2017, said Val
Meyers, associate director for the Ofce
of Financial Aid at Michigan State
University.
But is a public service job really right
for you? Such as working in public
library services or public interest law
services?
Some other points to consider: Federal
loan forgiveness for public service would
only apply to federal Direct Loans, not
private student loans. Borrowers could
consolidate their federal loans into the
Direct Loan program to qualify, Mark
Kantrowitz of Edvisors.com said.
If you have a Perkins federal student
loan, you might be able to tap into other
benets.
How much can you save?
How much money could college grads
save in forgiven debt?
Travis Comstock, 39, an attorney who
works in state government in Lansing,
said he is projecting that about 70%-75%
of his student debt could be forgiven
in 2019 when hed rst qualify for debt
forgivness.
Comstock, who graduated from law
school at Michigan State University
in 2008 with six gures of debt, said
federal loan forgiveness program allows
him to work in a public service job. He
has lower monthly payments with an
income-based repayment plan that is
based on his salary and family size.
How much could be forgiven does
depend on income.
Kantrowitz offered another example:
Take a public school teacher earning
$35,000 a year but dealing with $70,000
in undergraduate and graduate school
debt. If an income based repayment plan
is used, he or she would be able to have
a low monthly payment that average out
to $285 a month. But the interest keeps
building at a rate of 6.8% and grows
faster than the payments in this case.
Its possible after 10 years of payments
for the teacher in this example to end
up still having $70,000 in principal and
$13,380 in interest to be forgiven.

Give tough new job a chance
Marie G. MCintYre
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Q: My new job literally makes me cry.
After working as an elementary school
secretary for fteen years, I was trans-
ferred to a high school because of budget
cuts. The environment is so unpleasant
that I am already thinking about leaving.
On the rst day of school, the admin-
istrators here were not welcoming at all.
When I approached them and introduced
myself, I immediately saw the uncaring
look on their faces. I have since conclud-
ed that they are control freaks who enjoy
pointing out employees mistakes.
I am so unhappy at this school that I
would rather work in retail or cleaning.
What do you think I should do?
A: Despite your disillusionment, give
this job a little more time before making
any irrevocable decisions. After a major
life change, the negative aspects can
temporarily blind you to the positives,
so you dont want to jump ship prema-
turely.
One likely source of your discomfort
is a signicant shift in organizational
culture. Elementary and high schools
differ greatly in terms of faculty, stu-
dents, rules, procedures and leadership
style. This disparity undoubtedly took
you by surprise and will require a period
of adjustment.
You might also reconsider your
assumptions about administrators.
Their uncaring rst-day demeanor
may actually have reected a preoccupa-
tion with the myriad demands of a new
school year. And correcting employee
errors is simply a necessary part of their
job.
If you eventually decide to leave, just
be sure to choose your next position
carefully. After a career in education, the
transition to retail or cleaning would be
much more difcult than the one you are
now experiencing.

DELUGE
Investors rushed for the exits last month from all sorts of mutual funds that invest in
bonds. They yanked a net $18.2 billion last month from intermediate-term bond mutual
funds, the most popular type of bond fund, according to Morningstar. The departures
were the result of fear about rising interest rates: When interest rates rise, prices of
existing bonds fall, and the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose above 2.8 percent
in August from 1.6 percent in May.
But interest rates fell last week after the Federal Reserve surprised markets by
holding steady on its bond-buying stimulus program, when many investors expected a
paring back. The 10-year yield dropped below 2.7 percent on Wednesday.
NOT SO HEALTHY RETURNS
Fewer patients are getting admitted to hospitals. While that
may sound encouraging to public health officials, its discour-
aging for investors in hospital stocks. Last month, inpatient
hospital admissions fell between 3 percent and 4 percent,
according to a survey by Citi Research. And of those who
were admitted, more patients lacked insurance to pay for their
bills. That means third-quarter earnings for the industry will
likely depend on hospitals cutting their expenses, rather than
on increases in revenue, says Citi analyst Gary Taylor.

CLAMPING DOWN
The rush to borrow by companies across the country slowed
down last month. Companies raised $149 billion in August by
issuing bonds, according to Standard & Poors Global Fixed
Income Research. That may seem like a big number, but its the
lowest monthly
issuance since
December 2011. It
also comes after
companies raised
an average of $322
billion monthly from
January through
May. The reason:
Borrowing became
more expensive for
companies after
interest rates rose
during the late
summer.

Title: CEO Of Eastman
Kodak Co.
His outlook for Kodak:
Recovery, growth and
expansion
Interviewed by Bree Fowler.
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
Antonio Perez
Kodak emerged from bankruptcy
protection this month after
restructuring into a smaller, leaner
company focused on commercial
printing.
The January 2012 filing came
after decades of struggle. In the
1980s and 1990s, Kodak failed
to adequately deal with growing
Japanese competition and more
recently, the company was late
in recognizing the consumer shift
toward digital photography.
Antonio Perez has led the
company as its CEO since 2005
and oversaw its restructuring. He
plans to step down sometime in
the next year after a replacement
is found. Perez said hes proud
of what hes accomplished at the
Rochester, N.Y.-based company.
He is confident Kodak will be able
to compete in the commercial
printing industry, he said, despite
tough competition from already
entrenched companies like
Hewlett-Packard Co. and Xerox
Corp.
Looking back, is there anything
you would do differently?
Had I known what was going to
happen in 2008, maybe I wouldnt
have taken the job. You have to
remember I left La Hoya, Calif.
to come to Rochester, N.Y., so
Im either completely insane or I
thought this was a quest worth get-
ting involved in. If you had known
that film was going to go down that
way, what was going to happen in
2008, no one would have taken
this job. So, we did what we had to
do when those things happened.
They were unpredictable. Look for
a case of a company that had to
go through this kind of excruciating
restructuring and kept innovating.
It just doesnt happen, but weve
done it.
Kodak was criticized for not
innovating and missing out on
the shift to digital photography.
Has that mentality changed?
When youre very successful with
something, you create an immune
system to protect the success. Its
just natural. We all do it. Obviously,
its very easy now to say what the
company should have done, that
we should have done it 15 years
before we did it. The only thing
I will say to those people is why
didnt they say that 20 years ago?
I dont blame managers who were
here before me, because they
thought film was going to last a
long time. It turned out they were
wrong. Why were they wrong?
In part because of that immune
system. It wont let you see what
you need to. Thats life.
Youve taken a lot of flak for your
handling of Kodaks restructur-
ing. Whats your response to
that?
I have a very high threshold for
the opinion of the uniformed.
You should read The Man in
the Arena. Its part of President
Theodore Roosevelts speech
to the Sorbonne. He says that
spectators, theyre entitled to their
opinions. Thats fine, but a lot of
the time theyre uninformed.

InsiderQ&A
AP
Mortgage rates have hovered near historic lows in
recent years, helping make homes more affordable.
Rates have remained low thanks to the Federal
Reserve, which has kept short-term interest rates near
zero since December 2008 and has been buying
billions in mortgage and U.S. Treasury bonds to
encourage more borrowing and spending in a
slow-growth economy.
By buying Treasurys, the central bank drives up the
government bond prices, and makes their yields fall.
But starting in May, the market saw a sell-off in
bonds, after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the
central bank was prepared to cut back its bond-buying
program if the economy looked strong enough.
In the ensuing months, the yield on the 10-year
Treasury note bond has risen as prices have
declined.
Higher Treasury yields tend to drive up
the cost of borrowing on home loans.
Heres a look at how Treasury yields
have affected mortgage
rates in recent years:
Alex Veiga, Jenni Sohn AP
Home loans get pricier
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
stood at 2.75 percent on Thursday Sept.
19, while the average weekly rate on a
fixed, 30-year mortgage was 4.50 percent.

Health care stocks have been
the markets best this year, and
some on Wall Street expect the run
to keep going.
Biotechnology companies,
device makers and other health
care companies in the Standard &
Poors 500 index have jumped 29
percent in 2013. Thats the best
performance of the 10 sectors that
make up the market, and its well
above the 19.9 percent rise for the
index.
Even after its big gain, strate-
gists at Morgan Stanley say they
are more optimistic on health care
than any other sector. They say it
has a lower price-to-earnings ratio
than telecoms, utilities and other
sectors that have steady earnings.
A lower ratio indicates the sector is
cheaper.
Morgan Stanley also says
forecasts are lower for health-care
stocks future profit margins than
for other sectors, which means
they have an easier hurdle to beat
expectations.
This screen shows stocks that
Morgan Stanley says generate
large amounts of cash and have
Overweight ratings from its
analysts.

Mortgage rates fall
Mortgage rates fell this week amid signs of a
slowing economic recovery. The average rate on
the 30-year fixed loan dipped to 4.50 percent
from 4.57 percent. Economists expected the Fed-
eral Reserve to decide to start reducing bond
purchases, which have kept rates low. That didnt
happen; the Fed cited economic weakness.

Googles Growing
Recently sporting a price-to-earn-
ings (P/E) ratio near 25, a market
value close to $300 billion and a
stock price north of $800, Google
(Nasdaq: GOOG) might seem like
a stock too richly valued.
Think again, though, as the
company still has much room for
growth. For one thing, look at its
growth rates, as revenue has aver-
aged 21 percent growth over the
past five years, and earnings by
about 19 percent. Over the next
year, analysts expect Google to
grow by nearly 18 percent,
and by more than 14 percent
over the next five years.
Google is perfectly primed
to mint money in our increasingly
mobile future as its Android oper-
ating system has become the global
standard in mobile computing. Its
profit margins are likely to take a
hit as it adds more hardware rev-
enue from smartphones, tablets and
laptops, in part due to its acquisi-
tion of Motorola. But it remains
the global king of searches and a
leader in online advertising.
The companys innovation holds
much promise, too just think
of its Gmail, Google Maps and
Chrome browser. Its working on
self-driving automobiles now, and
launching high-speed Internet and
television service in some cities.
Considering how rapidly Google
is growing, its stock seems at
least fairly valued, if not rather
attractively valued. Give it some
consideration for your long-term
portfolio.

Is America crazy?
Twelve people killed at a secure naval
installation virtually on the front porch of
the federal government, eight others hurt,
the shooter shot to death, and its just
another manic Monday, another day in
the life of a nation under the gun. So, yes,
maybe its time we acknowl-
edged that gorilla in the back
seat, time we asked the pain-
fully obvious.
Is America crazy?
You know, dont you, that
Muslims watched this unfold
with a prayer on their lips:
Dont let him be a Muslim.
Dont let him be a Muslim.
Please dont let him be a
Muslim. Because they know
the last 12 years have force-
fully taught them how the
actions of a lone madman can be used to tar
an entire cause, religion or people.
In the end, almost as if in refutation of
our ready-made narratives and practiced
outrage, the shooter turns out to be a
black Buddhist from Texas. It is a uniquely
American amalgam that defies our love of
easy, simplistic categories.
As we are thus deprived of ready-made
cultural blame, the story will likely fall
now into a well-worn groove. Someone will
disinter Wayne LaPierre of the NRA from
whatever crypt they keep him in between
tragedies and he will say what he always
does about how this could have been avoid-
ed if only more people in this secure mili-
tary facility had been armed.
And we will have the argument we always
have about a constitutional amendment
written in an era when muskets were state
of the art and citizen militias guarded the
frontier. And politicians will say the things
they always say and nothing will change.
Is America crazy?
Infoplease.com, the online version of the
old Information Please almanac, maintains
a list of school
shootings and
mass shootings
internationally
since 1996.
Peruse it and
one thing leaps
out. Though
such tragedies
have touched
places as far-
flung as Carmen de Patagones, Argentina,
and Erfurt, Germany, the list is absolutely
dominated by American towns: Tucson,
Memphis, Cold Spring, Red Lake, Tacoma,
Jacksonville, Aurora, Oakland, Newtown.
No other country even comes close.
In 1968, when Robert Kennedy became
the victim of the fifth political assassina-
tion in five years, the historian Arthur
Schlesinger famously asked a question:
What sort of people are we, we Americans?
Today, we are the most frightening people
on this planet.
Forty-five years later, we might or might
not still be the most frightening.
But we are surely among the most fright-
ened.
Indeed, for all our historical courage, we
are in many ways a terrified people. Scared
of the face at the window, the rattle at the
door, the Other who wants to take our stuff.
Scared of the overthrow of one of the most
stable governments on earth.
So we arm ourselves to the tune of a
reported 300 million guns in a nation of 316
million souls no other country has more
guns per capita.
Americans, you see, dont just like and
use guns.
We worship guns,
mythologize guns, fetishize
guns. Cannot conceive of
ourselves without guns.
Thus, the idea of restrict-
ing access to them threat-
ens something fundamen-
tal. Apparently, wed rather
endure these tragedies
that repeat themselves that
repeat themselves that repeat themselves as
if on some diabolical loop, than explore rea-
sonable solutions.
Is that a quantifiable malady, a treatable
disorder?
Is America crazy?
Earlier this month, the Des Moines
Register reported that the state of Iowa
issues gun carry permits to blind people.
And people began debating this on grounds
of constitutionality and equal access as if
the very idea were not absurd on its face.
Is America crazy?
Look at those people fleeing the Navy
Yard, look at the Senate on lockdown, look
at the blind man packing. Ask yourself:
Does that look like sanity to you?

OUR OPINION: VOTING
Theres still time left
to register to vote
This is the number
that shows most Luzerne
County residents have no
right to grumble about
local government: 19.79
percent.
Thats the pathetic per-
centage of people 18 or
over in Luzerne County
who voted in Mays pri-
mary election. It was an
historic low.
So 80 percent four-
fifths of those old
enough to vote did not.
Sure, a chunk of them
were registered but not
with the two major par-
ties and thus ineligible
to vote in Pennsylvanias
closed primary. And sure,
others had legitimate rea-
sons for not voting.
But there arent enough
mitigating factors in the
county to make that turn-
out anything but shame-
ful.
And while the general
municipal election is still
a bit more than six weeks
away, heres another
important number at the
core of increasing voter
participation: 11 week-
days.
Thats how long you
have to register to vote in
time for the Nov. 5 elec-
tion.
If youre not registered
by Oct. 7, youre not vot-
ing.
You can download a
registration form from
the Luzerne County
Bureau of Elections at
luzernecounty.org, and
mail or take it to:
Luzerne County
Bureau of Elections
Voter Registration
Division
20 N. Pennsylvania
Ave., Suite 207,
Wilkes-Barre, PA.
18701-3505
If you are registered
to vote, study the candi-
dates for your local offic-
es and for county and any
other offices on your bal-
lot.
Find your voting poll
location (also available
on the county website),
and get to the polls and
vote.
If you are not regis-
tered, get online or head
to the election bureau as
soon as you can.
Take care of this vital
right.
Dont buy the argu-
ments that you cant
make a difference, or that
none of the candidates
merits your vote, or that
it doesnt matter who
gets in because they all
end up the same.
None of that is true if
voters take their respon-
sibility seriously and use
the right to vote wisely
and consistently.
But when fewer than
20 percent of those old
enough to vote do so, this
is no longer a democracy.
Its a travesty.
OTHER OPINION: MEDICAID
Corbetts health plan
gets cautious support
We want to give full
and hearty applause to
Gov. Tom Corbett, who
announced Monday that
he has a plan to reform
Medicaid and expand
health coverage for the
poor. His office has made
clear, though, that he is
not embracing the fed-
eral Medicaid expansion,
as many hoped. So, right
now, our applause will be
less than hearty.
Under the Affordable
Care Act, the feds have
encouraged states to
expand Medicaid partici-
pation; in exchange, the
feds will cover 100 per-
cent of the cost of expan-
sion for the states for two
years, and 90 percent in
subsequent years.
Corbett has maintained
that the swelling roles
of Medicaid recipients
would make the cost of
even the subsidized plan
too expensive for the
state.
So far, 24 states have
accepted the expansion,
although few Republican
governors have. Their
refusal is one of their
weapons in their fight
against ObamaCare.
So Corbetts willingness
to address Medicaid is
encouraging.
Rather than the fed-
eral expansion, though,
Corbett is proposing a
plan that he says would
reform Medicaid. It
would use Medicaid
expansion dollars to pay
for new participants to
get private insurance. It
would require partici-
pants to contribute to
the cost $25 to $35
monthly and set up
requirements such as job
searches and job training
for people to be covered.
There are few concrete
details so far, and it is
subject to federal approv-
al. Arkansas and Iowa
have similar proposals,
still pending approval.
We have concerns
about key aspects of the
plan, outlined in a white
paper from Corbetts
office.
First, Medicaid
isnt broken. Many
Republicans have called
for reform and like to
refer to it as a broken
system. The bottom-line
cost $400 billion in
2011 is huge, but, in
point of fact, Medicaid
is widely regarded as
a cost-effective way to
provide health care to
low-income people, as
well as the disabled, the
elderly and children. (In
Pennsylvania, 81 percent
of Medicaid recipients
are in the latter three cat-
egories.)
Corbetts plan stresses
personal accountabil-
ity. He not only requires
participants to pay a
premium, but suggests
that discounts on premi-
ums would be given for
healthy behaviors and
choice.
Beneficiaries should
have a strong role in
their own individual
health outcomes, his
reform paper states,
thereby increasing per-
sonal responsibility.
We wont argue with
encouraging healthy
behaviors, but we do have
a problem tying medical
coverage to health out-
comes.
Health relies on many
factors, only some of
which people can con-
trol. Encouraging healthy
choices is one thing; mak-
ing poor, disabled and
elderly people account-
able for their health has
the potential to be far
worse than any death
panel that Sarah Palin
imagined in her vision of
health reform.
Corbetts insistence
on adding a job search/
job training requirement
to health coverage is
unlikely to pass federal
muster, but the implica-
tion in this requirement
is disturbing, suggesting
that the poor are lazy or
want a free ride.
We hope that Corbetts
plan leads to more people
getting good health care.
Thats the only outcome
that matters.

Time to ask: Is America Crazy?
COMMENTARY: BOB DOLE AND TOM DASCHLE
Politics and hunger dont mix
One of the biggest pieces of business
Congress has yet to resolve is the farm bill,
legislation that has enjoyed bipartisan sup-
port for decades. Unfortunately, the process
to reauthorize this crucial bill has taken a
sharp and disheartening turn
this year. The Senate and the
House are in a standoff over
extremely different versions of
it with a deadline looming this
month.
At stake is the ability of mil-
lions of Americans who still
struggle in our economy to
provide adequate and healthy
meals for their children and
families. In an unprecedented
move, the House stripped
the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program, or SNAP
(formerly known as food stamps), from the
bill with an intention to pass a separate nutri-
tion bill, one with signicant cuts to programs
that ght hunger.
There have always been disagreements
between our parties over the farm bill, but for
decades we have reached across the aisle to
tackle the concerns on both sides. We proudly
count ourselves among a series of bipartisan
teams of legislators who worked past those
differences to address hunger through provi-
sions in the farm bill.
We are a country with ample resources,
especially the plentiful supply of food pro-
duced by our farms.
As Americans, we have always used this
abundance to help those who are hungry, both
here and abroad. For generations, the United
States has welcomed new Americans escaping
famine and hunger in their homelands.
All of us benet from the efciency of our
farmers and ranchers. We enjoy a safe and
plentiful food system for less than 10 percent
of our disposable income. In fact, Americans
spend a smaller percentage of
our disposable income on food
than people in any other coun-
try. As a nation blessed with a
bounty of food, we are a nation
with a duty to ght hunger.
The special relationship in
the legislative process between
agriculture and those who need
a s s i s -
t a n c e
from the
S N A P
program
is also
built on this tradi-
tion. In the modern
era, funding for this
vital program has been
extended as part of the
farm bill with relatively
little partisan bickering until now. By strip-
ping the nutrition title from the legislation
this year, the House has severed the vital tie
that helps connect our food system with those
who struggle with hunger in our own back-
yard.
Over time, we have worked hard to improve
the programs efciency and effectiveness.
In 2011, SNAP lifted 47 million people out
of poverty, and 72 percent of its participants
were families with children.
The error rate the combined rate for
underpayments and overpayments has
been on a steady decline since the 1990s.
And a 2008 Moodys Analytics study shows
that every $1 spent to help reduce hunger has
resulted in $1.70 in economic activity.
Tackling our nations hunger issues has
always resulted in a win-win situation for
farmers, low-income families and our econo-
my. The latest proposal from the House is an
about-face on our progress ghting hunger. It
would eliminate food assistance for 4 million
to 6 million Americans.
If Congress lets this bill fall victim to the
misguided and detrimental partisan politics
we face today, the results for families and chil-
dren chal-
l e n g e d
with hun-
ger will be
severe.
In a
c o u n t r y
struggling
to emerge
from the
w o r s t
economi c
recession since the Depression, this is no time
to play politics with hunger.
As friends and colleagues, we hope that
the House will do the right thing and follow
the Senates lead in passing a farm bill with
adequate funding for food assistance. Our
nations future depends on it.

Indeed, for all our historical courage,
we are in many ways a terrified peo-
ple. Scared of the face at the window,
the rattle at the door, the Other who
wants to take our stuff. Scared of the
overthrow of one of the most stable
governments on earth.
All of us benefit from the efficiency of
our farmers and ranchers. We enjoy a safe
and plentiful food system for less than 10
percent of our disposable income. In fact,
Americans spend a smaller percentage of our
disposable income on food than people in
any other country.

In the liberal remake of
Casablanca, the police
captain comes upon the
scene of the shooting and
orders his men to round
up the usual weapons.
Its always the weapon
and never
the shooter.
T w e l v e
people are
m u r d e r e d
in a ram-
page at the
Washington
Navy Yard,
and before
s u n d o w n
U.S. Sen.
D i a n n e
F e i n s t e i n
has called for yet another
debate on gun violence.
Major opprobrium is
heaped on the AR-15, the
semiautomatic used in
the Newtown massacre.
Turns out no AR-15 was
used at the Navy Yard.
And the shotgun that was
used was obtained legally
in Virginia after the buyer,
Aaron Alexis, had passed
both a state and federal
background check.
As was the case in
the Tucson shooting
instantly politicized into
a gun-control and (fabri-
cated) tea-party-climate-
of-violence issue the
origin of this crime lies
not in any politically
expedient externality
but in the nature of the
shooter.
On Aug. 7, that same
Alexis had called police
from a Newport, R.I.,
Marriott. He was hearing
voices.
Three people were fol-
lowing him, he told the
cops.
They were sending
microwaves through
walls, making his skin
vibrate and preventing
him from sleeping.
He had already twice
changed hotels to escape
the men, the radiation,
the voices.
Delusions, paranoid
ideation, auditory (and
somatic) hallucinations:
the classic symptoms of
schizophrenia.
So here is this panic-
stricken soul, psychotic
and in terrible distress.
And what does modern
policing do for him? The
cops tell him to stay
away from the individuals
that are following him.
Then they leave.
But the three individu-
als were imaginary, for
Gods sake. This is how
a civilized society deals
with a man in such a state
of terror?
Had this happened
35 years ago in Boston,
Alexis would have been
brought to me as the psy-
chiatrist on duty at the
ER of the Massachusetts
General Hospital.
Were he as agitated
and distressed as in the
police report, I probably
would have administered
an immediate dose of
Haldol, the most power-
ful fast-acting antipsy-
chotic of the time.
This would generally
relieve the hallucinations
and delusions, a blessing
not only in itself, but also
for the lucidity it brought
on that would allow him
to give us important diag-
nostic details psychiat-
ric history, family history,
social history, medical
history, etc.
If I thought he could
be sufficiently cared
for by family or friends
to receive regular oral
medication, therapy and
follow-up, I would have
discharged him.
Otherwise, Id have
admitted him. And if he
refused, Id have ordered
a 14-day involuntary com-
mitment.
Sounds cruel? On the
contrary.
For many people living
on park benches, com-
mitment means a warm
bed, shelter and three hot
meals a day.
For Alexis, it would
have meant the beginning
of a treatment regimen
designed to bring him
back to himself before
discharging him to a
world heretofore madly
radioactive.
Thats what a compas-
sionate society does. It
would no more abandon
this man to fend for him-
self than it would a man
suffering a stroke.
And as a side effect,
that compassion might
even extend to potential
victims of his psychosis
in the event, remote
but real, that he might
someday burst into some
place of work and kill 12
innocent people.
Instead, what hap-
pened?
The Newport police
sent their report to the
local naval station, where
it promptly disappeared
into the ether.
Alexis subsequently
twice visited VA hospital
ERs, but without any flor-
id symptoms of psychosis
and complaining only of
sleeplessness, the diag-
nosis was missed. (He
was given a sleep medica-
tion.)
He fell back through
the cracks.
True, psychiatric care
is underfunded and often
scarce.
But Alexis had full
access to the VA system.
The problem here was not
fiscal but political and,
yes, even moral.
I know the civil liber-
tarian arguments. I know
that involuntary commit-
ment is outright paternal-
ism.
But paternalism is
essential for children
because they dont have
a fully developed rational
will.
Do you think Alexis was
in command of his will
that night in Newport?
We cannot, of course,
be cavalier about commit-
ment.
We should have layers
of review, albeit rapid.
But its both cruel and
reckless to turn loose peo-
ple as lost and profoundly
suffering as Alexis, even
apart from any potential
dangerousness.
More than half of those
you see sleeping on
grates have suffered men-
tal illness. Its a national
scandal.
Its time we recalibrated
the pendulum that today
allows the mentally ill to
die with their rights on
and, rarely but unfor-
givably, take a dozen
innocents with them.

Haunting, mystic, compelling, romantically eerie, starkly beautiful
You neednt travel as far as you think to fnd it.
What will they say about
you when youre gone?
I attended a funeral this
month of a woman named
Sarah Lewis, the widow of
my childhood rabbi, Albert
Lewis. A 92-year-old pillar
of her community, she was
eloquent, bril-
liant, devoted
and religious.
The service
was sparse
and simple.
First, several
of her grand-
c h i l d r e n
spoke, fol-
lowed by her
two daugh-
ters and her
son.
Each of
them mentioned something
they had learned from their
mother or grandmother. A
life lesson indelibly etched
in their hearts.
One grandson spoke
about her kindness and how
she lent him money to buy
a car on very favorable
terms meaning when
he could afford to pay her
back.
Her eldest daughter
spoke about how her moth-
ers wonderful and devoted
marriage set an example for
the next generation.
Her youngest daughter
laughed at how she used
to get, as a gift, a book of
stamps, because, her moth-
er said, they will come in
very handy when you send
letters.
And her son told poi-
gnant stories of how his
mother bravely broke up
neighborhood ghts, made
him wear a coat even on a
75-degree day in the winter
because its a winter 75
degrees! and insisted he
clap! at a neighborhood
parade, to show recogni-
tion for those marching,
warning him that TV was
turning his generation into
passive observers.
He also told of how his
father, early in his parents
marriage, had a bout with
cancer and began to with-
draw from the family, fear-
ing he was dying and not
wanting the kids to miss
him when he was gone. And
how his mother rmly but
lovingly reminded her hus-
band, How do you want us
to remember you? as a
kind and caring patriarch,
or a distant, removed one?
By the end of the service,
everyone had laughed and
cried. It was clear a life
had been well-lived, had
touched countless others
and had left behind warm
and comforting memories.
Contrast that with an
obituary that recently ran
in the Reno (Nev.) Gazette-
Journal:
Marianne Theresa
Johnson-Reddick born Jan.
4, 1935, and died alone on
(Aug.) 30, 2013. She is sur-
vived by her 6 of 8 children
whom she spent her life-
time torturing in every way
possible.
The obituary, submitted
by her children, went on to
blast the woman as mean
and abusive:
Everyone she met, adult
or child, was tortured by
her cruelty and exposure to
violence, criminal activity,
vulgarity and hatred of the
gentle or kind human spirit.
Far from the tears shed
at the funeral I attended,
this womans offspring were
glad she was gone:
We celebrate her pass-
ing from this earth and
hope she lives in the after-
life reliving each gesture of
violence, cruelty and shame
that she delivered on her
children. Her surviving chil-
dren will now live the rest
of their lives with the peace
of knowing their nightmare
nally has some form of clo-
sure.
Wow. I guess may she
rest in peace is out of the
question.
You wonder how awful
this woman had to be to
be memorialized this way.
According to an Associated
Press account, the children
had been removed from her
care in the 1960s and had
been estranged for more
than 30 years. Their case
was so awful that it helped
lead to legislation in Nevada
allowing children to sever
ties to abusive parents.
Everything in there was
completely true, Patrick
Reddick told the AP. He
called his mother a wicked,
wicked witch and said that
while the main purpose of
the obituary was to bring
attention to child abuse, it
was also to shame her a
little bit.
Still, this was three
decades since theyd had
to deal with her. The social
norm when someone dies is
to shout the good and whis-
per the bad or at least,
say nothing part of what
is suggested by the term
paying your respects.
But as Johnson-Reddick
proves, that doesnt govern
every death. Or every life.
And the abuse you dish out
might come back to you.
Most of what we do in
this world is a rehearsal
for our funeral. No matter
how much you say, write or
decree, in the end, you are
summed up in speech and
print by others, their memo-
ries, their impressions.
What will they say about
you after youre gone? The
only similarity between
these two mothers is that
they were eulogized not by
a list of accomplishments,
but by how they treated
others. Something to keep
in mind if youre thinking
about your legacy.

River Common
deserves funding
I thankThe Times Leader and
Luzerne County Councilman
Edward Brominski for bringing
attention to the Wilkes-Barre
River Common.
As chairman of the
Riverfront Parks Committee,
the nonprot organization
that has been working in the
parks on both sides of the
Susquehanna River since
1991, I wanted to share a dif-
ferent perspective.
The Riverfront Parks
Committee raises private
funds and uses volunteers for
Earth Day events, river clean-
ups, RiverFest, Dragon Boat
Racing, concerts, ChalkFest,
Hydromania and many other
family-oriented events, and
receives no county funding for
any of them.
We do, however, work close-
ly with the Luzerne County
Flood Protection Authority
and its staff who make sure
the River Common is looking
good for these events. They
have repaired the fountain
numerous times before our
events and recently had to
step into action to wash geese
droppings off the amphithe-
atre before an evening jazz
concert.
They also have utilized
county inmates to clean the
park following ooding before
scheduled events. Over the
years, I have had the pleasure
to work with Mr. Brozena,
Mr. Gibbons, and now Mr.
Belleman to coordinate events
on the River Common.
There are many of us who are
concerned the River Common
is being neglected, but it isnt
the weeds that concern us.
Annually, volunteers par-
ticipating in the United Way
Day of Caring spruce up the
River Common and its plant-
ing beds.
In May of this year, more
than 100 volunteers from PA
American Water, Mondelez
Foods and Sallie Mae spent
the day weeding the ower
beds by hand, because mulch-
ing, weed fabric or herbicides
would not have solved the
problem.
The phlox, daylilies and
potentilla all owered and
looked great this spring.
Vandalism, however, contin-
ues to impact the park.
This summer there was
more than $40,000 in vandal-
ism to lighting, portal doors,
sandstone walls and concrete
benches and planters.
This damage can be pre-
vented in several ways, includ-
ing patrolling and enforce-
ment of park rules and the
creation of a skate/bike park.
The Millennium Circle is not
a skate park, but it seemingly
has become one.
Another concern is the lack
of funds to maintain (and pro-
gram) this wonderful com-
munity park that was funded
predominately by federal and
state funds.
Just as the concrete was dry-
ing on the new River Common,
the economy took a downturn.
The county cut recreation dol-
lars completely out of its bud-
get, closed Moon Lake Park
and did not fully allocate the
funds that were requested to
care for the River Common
and levee trails.
If you want to see what hap-
pens when a community park
is neglected, just visit Moon
Lake.
I can remember swimming
in the pool at Moon Lake and
now there are no working toi-
lets, because it was closed and
then vandalized.
I am glad to hear that
Councilman Brominski and
others are concerned about
the River Common becoming
neglected.
One suggestion might be
to allocate the more than
$500,000 in funding that
Luzerne County has received
from states Marcellus Legacy
Funds, specically designat-
ed for recreation, trails and
open spaces into a recreation
line item in the 2014 Luzerne
County Budget.
Other surrounding counties
are using those funds for rec-
reation, and Luzerne Countys
parks (including the River
Common) can certainly use
some nancial help.
As chairman of the
Riverfront Parks Committee
and a volunteer who pulls
weeds, shovels ood mud,
removes litter and ood
debris, and organizes commu-
nity events such as RiverFest
and ChalkFest, I will do all
that I can to make sure the
River Common remains an
asset to the community.
However, I cannot prevent
the River Common from becom-
ing like Moon Lake Park with-
out the help of Luzerne County
Council, the Flood Protection
Authority, the City of Wilkes-
Barre as well as area business-
es, colleges, organizations and
residents who can help sponsor
events, use the park and volun-
teer to help maintain it.

Lobby now to
end horse killing
Each year more than 100,000
American horses are transport-
ed to their deaths in inhumane
and barbaric foreign slaughter-
houses, while our own elected
ofcials are paving the way to
slaughter these defenseless ani-
mals here at home. In fact, in
2007, the Cavel International
slaughterhouse in DeKalb, Ill.
closed its doors for good as the
last facility in the United States.
Congress, under intense pres-
sure from the wealthy and inu-
ential proponents of American
horse slaughter, has decided
to remove the prohibition on
spending our much-needed tax
dollars to inspect horse slaugh-
ter plants.
This reverses six years of
humane government policy that
ended the slaughter of horses in
the United States. To stop this
tragedy, and to permanently
end the slaughter of American
horses, animal welfare advo-
cates are working tirelessly to
persuade all of our represen-
tatives and senators to pass
the Safeguard American Food
Exports (SAFE) Act, SB541/
HB 1094.
Once the animals arrive at the
slaughter plants, the suffering
only intensies as they are
viciously beaten, prodded and
whipped. Horses are skittish
by nature, making them dif-
cult to stun. They often endure
repeated blows during attempts
to render them unconscious
and sometimes remain alive
and kicking during dismember-
ment.
The Humane Society
Legislative Fund is the lobbying
arm of the animal protection
movement, working hard in
Washington, D.C., in state capi-
tals and in local communities to
pass laws for the protection of
animals.
Call your U.S. senators, at
202-244-3121, and your repre-
sentative, 202-224-3121, and
ask them to co-sponsor the
SAFE Act.

Much of the world is
demanding greater pres-
sure on Syria following
a United Nations inspec-
tors report hinting that
Syrian strongman Bashar
al-Assad used chemical
weapons in his coun-
trys civil war, but
amazingly Venezuela
and some of its Latin
American allies are still
passionately
d e f e n d i n g
Syrias dic-
tator.
Last week,
after U.N.
S e c r e t a r y
General Ban
K i - m o o n
p r e s e n t e d
the U.N.
i nspect ors
report con-
cluding that
there is clear and con-
vincing evidence that
chemical weapons were
used in an Aug. 21 inci-
dent on the outskirts of
Damascus, Venezuelan
President Nicolas
Maduro lashed out
against the U.N. chief for
allegedly siding with the
enemies of the Syrian
people.
Why is the U.N. sec-
retary general lending
himself (to plans to
attack Syria,) as if he
were a prosecutor and
judge of the worlds peo-
ple, putting himself at
the service of the strat-
egy of war, instead of
being at the service of
peace? Maduro asked in
a speech Monday in the
state of Miranda.
In a speech last month
more than a week after
the Aug. 21 attack with
chemical weapons,
Maduro said, Venezuela
is with Syria, and with
President Bashar al-
Assad, and with the
Syrian people.
A day later, on Aug. 31,
Maduro issued an official
statement stating that
Venezuela stands by the
Syrian people in their
fight against unjustified
war-mongering aggres-
sions.
Venezuelas govern-
ment-run media, mean-
time, has turned Assad
into a hero and is blam-
ing the United States
and Israel for allegedly
trying to invade Syria.
A cartoon in
Venezuelas state-run
daily Correo del Orinoco
last week shows a plane
dropping hearts over
Syria with the legend to
the Syrian people from
the people of ALBA.
ALBA, which stands for
the Bolivarian Alliance
for the Peoples of Our
Americas, is an organiza-
tion formed by Venezuela
that is it made up of nine
Latin American and
Caribbean countries.
Venezuelas daily Vea,
which like other govern-
ment-backed newspapers
often publishes anti-
Semitic cartoons, ran a
cartoon on May 9 show-
ing a black-robed skel-
eton representing death,
with a star of David
and this legend: Since
we got tired of killing
Palestinians, we are now
going to finish with the
Syrians.
Whats most amaz-
ing about the pro-Assad
statements in Venezuelas
official media is that
they are still appearing
after the U.N. inspectors
report which clearly
suggests, without saying
so explicitly, that Assads
forces were responsible
for the Aug. 21 chemical
gas attack.
While it doesnt offi-
cially take sides, because
that wasnt within the
inspectors scope, the
U.N. report shows that
the rockets that carried
sarin gas are weapons
that are not in the hands
of Syrias rebels, and
that they were launched
from several govern-
Despite evidence, Venezuela keeps rooting for Syria
COMMENTARY: ANDRES OPPENHEIMER
THERE IS disappointment that more coun-
tries (in the region) would not have put out
stronger statements condemning the Assad
governments use of Sarin gas, and support-
ing the Geneva U.S.-Russia agreements.

ment-controlled points.
Although less strenu-
ously, Venezuelan allies
such as Cuba and Bolivia
also have come out in
support of Assad even
after the U.N. findings.
Most other Latin
American countries have
supported the Geneva
agreement between
the United States and
Russia to demand that
Syria destroy its chemi-
cal weapons.
But U.S. officials say
major Latin American
countries such as
Mexico and Brazil have
been late in joining the
international communi-
tys demands that Syria
comply with the Geneva
agreement.
Roberta Jacobson,
the top U.S. State
Department official
in charge of Latin
American affairs, told
me Wednesday that
there is disappointment
that more countries (in
the region) would not
have put out stronger
statements condemning
the Assad governments
use of Sarin gas, and sup-
porting the Geneva U.S.-
Russia agreements.
Jacobson added
that countries in the
Western Hemisphere
want to be, and increas-
ingly are, global actors.
(But) If countries want
to be global players, they
should step up and con-
front challenges to the
international commu-
nity.
My opinion: Its entire-
ly legitimate for Latin
American countries to
oppose a unilateral U.S.
intervention in Syria, or
even a U.S. intervention
with dozens of allied
countries but with-
out the blessing of the
United Nations.
I myself have seri-
ous doubts about the
wisdom of an interven-
tion to stop Syrias war
crimes without some
sort of U.N. cover.
But defending a dicta-
tor who has massacred
a sizable part of the
100,000 people who have
died in Syrias civil war,
and who according to
all available evidence is
responsible for the Aug.
21 attack with chemical
weapons, is outrageous.
Maduro might be
over-reacting on Syria
because he needs to keep
his Chavista radical base
behind him after his
dubious and narrow elec-
tion victory April 14.
His almost daily
blunders, alongside
Venezuelas steep eco-
nomic decline, are seri-
ously weakening his gov-
ernment.
And his adoration for
dictators may explain
his natural sympathy for
Assad.
Still, Venezuelas
enthusiastic support
for the Syrian regime
after the Aug. 21 attack
with chemical weapons
should be denounced by
everybody for what it
is: an open defense of
crimes against humanity.
