A familiar sight to passing motorists driving through the center of Shickshinny is the animatronic gorilla out in front of Bach’s Fitness Center. The fitness center is owned by Jim Bach, who owns the building across the street, as well. Bach is in the middle of renovating his businesses after the flood.

SHICKSHINNY – Just as the return of robins is a sure sign of spring, the reappearance of a gorilla on Main Street might be a tipoff that this little river town is making a comeback. Jim Bach Jr. has had the lifesized stuffed gorilla standing outside his storefront as an advertising gimmick for about 17 years, first placed there when the building housed the furniture store he and his father operated. “Monty” the gorilla, an icon of sorts in the town of 838 residents, took a respite from its post when flood waters engulfed the downtown and left behind flood mud and a swath of destruction. But last week, Monty was back. “He’s still here. But he’s the only

The dank odor is gone, thanks to a swift gut-and-remodel since the Susquehanna River inundated the Plymouth Township business more than three weeks ago. Kuchinskas must fund repairs because he didn’t have flood insurance.

Bridge repair more trouble for drivers The Veterans Memorial Bridge is scheduled for patching and partial closure Monday. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – New headaches may be in store for motorists already frustrated by detours near the too-dangerous-todrive-by Hotel Sterling. Starting Monday and continuing for the next six weeks, one

lane of the Veterans Memorial Bridge, also known as the Pierce Street Bridge and North Street Bridge, will be closed for paving work, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced Friday. The announcement advises drivers that heavy delays could result and to use an alternate route, if possible. PennDOT spokesman James May said the department is aware of the lane closures on River Street and West Market

Street that the city has instituted to protect the public from the structurally-unsound Sterling, but the bridge work was planned weeks before the detours around the hotel were put in place. Those detours are set up directly in front of the Market Street Bridge, which links Wilkes-Barre and Kingston. The Veterans Memorial Bridge links the two municipalities about See TRAFFIC, Page 10A

Plan would file more DNA Civil libertarians are concerned about possibly expanding the taking of DNA. By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s law that governs the collection of DNA may soon get its first overhaul since it was established 16 years ago, but some are voicing concerns about the proposal’s effect on civil liberties as well as the cost to taxpayers. A bill to mandate DNA collection from people accused of serious crimes, among other changes, passed the state Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously on Tuesday and will probably get a vote in the full Senate sometime this fall. Current law requires people who are convicted of a set of serious felonies to submit to having a DNA sample taken by a swab on the inside of their cheek. Lawmakers are now considering a requirement that those samples be collected upon arrest — and they would be taken for any felony as well as some misdemeanors. The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania opposes the bill, saying people who have been arrested deserve the presumption of innocence. The ACLU also argues that the expansion would greatly add to the already overburdened state police system and the cost would be some $13 million. The state associations of prosecutors and chiefs of police both support the legislation. About half of the states and the federal government currently take DNA from arrestees, and the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals just upheld the practice. The bill submitted by Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware, would also let investigators, under narrow circumstances, test crime scene samples to see if they contain enough markers to determine

Clinton sees parallels to his own years The former president uses an appearance to defend successor Democrat Obama. By ANDREW DeMILLO Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the start of his presidential campaign, Bill Clinton on Saturday offered a vigorous defense of President Barack Obama against what he called the same anti-government stances he faced during his campaign and two terms in office. The former president told a crowd of about 5,000 people outside the Old State House Museum in downtown Little Rock, the same spot where he announced his White House bid in 1991, that Obama faces a different set of challenges but is battling the same questions about the role of government in growing the economy.

“Underlying those challenges is the same old debate about whether government is the problem or whether we Clinton need smart government and a changing economy working together to create the opportunities of tomorrow,” Clinton told the crowd, which was flooded with old campaign signs for him or his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who lost to Obama in 2008’s Democratic nominating contest. The speech was the centerpiece of a weekend commemorating Clinton’s presidential announcement, but it also offered plenty of parallels between his presidency and Obama’s, including opposition on multiple fronts from Republicans. “There’s not a single example on our planet, not one, where an

anti-government strategy has produced a vibrant economy with strong and broad-based growth and prosperity,” Clinton said. Clinton said Obama has offered plans to stimulate the economy, reduce the long-term debt and address the housing crisis, and it’s now up to Congress “to act on those plans, and if they don’t like them, then come up with better ideas.” Holding hands with Hillary Clinton, the former president arrived at the stage to Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow,” the song that became the anthem of his 1992 presidential bid. The weekend’s events included the dedication Friday of a $10.5 million pedestrian bridge at his presidential library. The reunion of Clinton supporters and staff turned into a pep rally of sorts for Democrats as they approach the 2012 election.

Unlike school districts, the LIU has no classroom buildings. It provides a variety of services, primarily special education, to area schools. Because of that, Bloss said, he felt it was important to join the pilot program and make sure the new system accounts for the way intermediate units work. West Side Career and Technology Center Executive Director Nancy Tkatch echoed that point. West Side is one of only a handful of “comprehensive” vocational schools in the state, meaning they get students from school districts for a full day and provide both academic and vocational training. Most career centers have the student only a half day for vocational training, leaving the academic training to the student’s home district. West Side students take the state reading and math tests in grade 11, but also take tests in their vocational skills devised by the National Occupational Competency Testing Institute. Tkatch said the center wants to make sure the new evaluation system takes into account NOCTI test results and the unusual nature of comprehensive career centers.

SHAVERTOWN – A cackling flock of free-ranging chickens greeted visitors at the annual Fall Festival at The Lands at Hillside Farms on Saturday. The two-day harvest celebration, Hillside’s largest annual fundraiser, features pony rides, a petting zoo, greenhouse tours and a live demonstration of a working dairy farm, as well as hay-rides and live musical entertainment. “This is a family-focused weekend for families with children,” said The Lands’ Executive Director Chet Mozloom. “It allows us to showcase our livestock and harvest.”

Mozloom said feedback from past festivals has been extremely positive and people come from far and wide to enjoy the event with family and friends. “This is a publicly owned resource,” stated Suzanne Kelly, The Lands’ spokeswoman. “Families come

here throughout the year here to enjoy the farm, walk through the stream and eat ice cream.” Mozloom said the extensive farm complex is undergoing continual change and rehabilitation due to a combination of public funding and private donations. Officials said the facility is a yearround learning resource for local school districts and local Luzerne Intermediate Unit students participate in a popular agriculturally sustainable food program at the farm. “This is a great experience for children,” said Joe Charney, who attended the festival with his 3-year-old son, Sebastian. “I bring my son here a few times a year and he loves it.”

Arts SEEN looking to add gallery in downtown Pittston The gallery on Public Square lets local artists exhibit and sell their work in the area.

By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE – Partners of the Arts SEEN Gallery on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre are looking forward to opening a similar gallery in downtown Pittston. The gallery allows local artists to exhibit and sell their artwork in the Wyoming Valley. It was the brainchild of Kathleen Godwin of Arts YOUniverse and Mike Burnside of the Cultural Council of Luzerne County. Burnside said the gallery charges artists $20 per month to display their work and requires they also take part in staffing the store a half day per month. Artists are then able to keep all money for the sales of their work. He noted this not only makes it possible for artists to

sell their artwork, but to be integrated into the spirit of the gallery itself. “We have been approached with the opportunitytoopenasimilarstorefront gallery in Pittston and are working toward making that a reality,” said Burnside, who indicated there are still “some numbers to work out.” Burnside said he was originally skeptical about opening up a second gallery

in Pittston, but upon touring the site at 71 S. Main St., he thought that it would be a very appropriate spot because of its accessibility to foot traffic and general structure and wall space.

LUZERNE COUNTY

DEP schedules spraying

The Department of Environmental Protection will apply mosquito treatments the evenings of Monday and Tuesday in residential areas of Duryea, Edwardsville, Swoyersville, West Wyoming and Wyoming boroughs; Hanover, Plains and Plymouth townships; and Wilkes-Barre to control adult mosquito populations. As a result of recent flooding, high populations of adult mosquitoes capable of transmitting the West Nile virus have been detected near these areas of the county. The application material has a very low toxicity profile to mammals and is safe for the environment.

TIRES Continued from Page 3A

Mahantango Enterprises, Inc., of Liverpool picks up the tires. Eventually, the recycled tires will be made into items such as mouse pads, rubber mats, mulch, playground rubber base, buckets and padding for horse arenas and stalls. The recycled tires will also be turned into various other products. There are two very important reasons to collect and recycle tires. Old tires, left sitting around, are breeding areas for mosquitoes carrying the West Nile virus. Collecting also removes and prevents litter from the roadways, as well as other areas. A participant, who wished to remain anony-

mous, said that if he had not taken his tires to this event, most likely they would have wound up being “dumped off on the side of the road somewhere.” Hanover Area Junior/ Senior High School will host the next tire collection on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Approximately 12,000 tires are expected to be collected. Both the Hanover Township, as well as the Butler Township events are free and open to all Luzerne County residents. Tires must be fairly clean and off of the rim. It is necessary to register, and there is a limit of 15 tires per person. DeNardi asked that anyone calling to register leave a contact number where they can be reached, and not just an address. The Recycling Hotline’s number is 1-800-821-7654.

TEACHER Continued from Page 3A

The state began testing the evaluation system last year and expanded the pilot program this year. Districts and other education entities can participate at many levels – using the new evaluation system in just a few classrooms or one school – and need not use the system district wide. Hazleton Area, for example, will use the system in the high school and at Heights Terrace elementary, Acting Superintendent Francis Antonelli said. This year, the new system will be used alongside the old, but not for any official purpose. The state hopes to start using the new system to gauge teacher quality – as mandated by the federal No child Left Behind Law – as early as 2013. Antonelli said Hazleton Area administrators and union leaders agreed it made sense to join the pilot program and try to shape the system if the change is inevitable. The current evaluation system tends to rely on teacher observation. According to the press release, “under the new system, 50

The new system substantially beefs up the traditional observation system, which still accounts for half a teacher’s evaluation. Both Tkatch and Bloss said the changes are a big improvement. “It is much more useful,” Tkatch said, “The administrator can be more of an instructional leader. It shows what areas need improvement the most and gives the teacher a clear example of what you are looking for.” “It lends itself to having serious discussion between administrators and teachers on how to improve instruction,” Bloss said, “rather than simply rate a teacher satisfactory or unsatisfactory.”

The original gallery accepts various types of artwork including photographs, paintings, sculptures, jewelry and even painted furniture. “The vision that both Kathleen and I have is one of accessibility for both local artists and the people of Northeast Pennsylvania,” said Burnside. “We want to support local artists and increase cultural awareness.” It is hoped that the Pittston gallery will be opened by Thanksgiving, so that it can share it offerings during the Christmas season. “This is a partnership in many ways,” said Burnside, “both between Arts YOUniverse and the Cultural Council of Luzerne County, between artists and the community. We seem to have come up with something that works.” The original gallery is open from10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Haqqani leader nabbed

NATO captured a senior leader of the al-Qaida- and Talibanallied Haqqani network active inside Afghanistan, the alliance said Saturday, describing it as a “significant milestone” in disrupting the group’s operations. NATO said Haji Mali Khan was seized Tuesday during an operation in eastern Paktia province, which borders Pakistan. It could dent the group’s ability to operate along the porous border with Pakistan’s lawless tribal areas. Shortly after NATO’s announcement, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid denied in a message to Afghan media that Khan had been arrested but provided no evidence that he was free. The Pakistan-based Haqqani network is affiliated with both the Taliban and al-Qaida and has been described as the top security threat in Afghanistan. The group has been blamed for hundreds of attacks. ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN

Officer gets death

A Pakistani court on Saturday convicted and sentenced a police officer to death for the killing of a liberal governor earlier this year, a murder that led to fears the country was buckling under the weight of extremism. The January murder of Punjab provincial governor, Salman Taseer, by one of his police guards was alarming in itself, but what came afterward perhaps even more so: lawyers showered his killer, Mumtaz Qadri, with flowers, thousands demonstrated in his defense and mainstream politician failed to publicly condemn the killing. Qadri has told his trial that Taseer deserved to die because of his criticism of Pakistani laws that mandate the death sentence for insulting Islam. Taseer, a member of the country’s ruling party, wanted amendments in the law and had defended a Christian woman sentenced to death under it.

Tiny creatures can short out industrial equipment and are hard to get rid of

Troublesome new ants hit U.S. South By JANET McCONNAUGHEY Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — It sounds like a horror movie: Biting ants invade by the millions. A camper’s metal walls bulge from the pressure of ants nesting behind them. A circle of poison stops them for only a day, and then a fresh horde shows up, bringing babies. Stand in the yard, and in seconds ants cover your shoes. It’s an extreme example of what can happen when the ants — which also can disable huge industrial plants — go unchecked. Controlling them can cost thousands of dollars. But the story is real, told by someone who’s been studying ants

for a decade. “Months later, I could close my eyes and see them moving,” said Joe MacGown, who curates the ant, mosquito and scarab collections at the Mississippi State Entomological Museum at Mississippi State University. He’s been back to check on the hairy crazy ants. They’re still around. The occupant isn’t. The flea-sized critters are called crazy because each forager scrambles randomly at a speed that your average picnic ant, marching one by one, reaches only in video fast-forward. They’re called hairy because of fuzz that, to the naked eye,

makes their abdomens look less glossy than those of their slower, bigger cousins. And they’re on the move in Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana. In Texas, they’ve invaded homes and industrial complexes, urban areas and rural areas. They travel in cargo containers, hay bales, potted plants, motorcycles and moving vans. They overwhelm beehives — one Texas beekeeper was losing 100 a year in 2009. They short out industrial equipment. If one gets electrocuted, its death releases a chemical cue to AP PHOTO attack a threat to the colony, said Roger Gold, an entomol- Hairy crazy ants like this one are on the move in Florida, Texas, ogy professor at Texas A&M.

Underwear-bomb maker also believed dead in strike on Yemen al-Qaida Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri’s death more critical than others killed in strikes, scholar says. By LEE KEATH Associated Press

CAIRO — A Saudi militant believed killed in the U.S. drone strike in Yemen constructed the bombs for the al-Qaida branch’s most notorious attempted attacks — including the underwear-borne

explosives intended to down a U.S. aircraft, and a bomb carried by his own brother intended to assassinate a Saudi al-Asiri prince. The death of Ibrahim Hassan alAsiri would make the Friday drone strikes on a convoy in the central deserts of Yemen one of the most effective single blows in

the U.S. campaign to take out alQaida’s top figures. The strike also killed Anwar alAwlaki, a Yemeni-American cleric who had been key to recruiting for the militant group and a PakistaniAmerican, Samir Khan, who was a top English-language propagandist. But Christopher Boucek, a scholar who studies Yemen and alQaida, said al-Asiri’s death would “overshadow” that of the two Americans due to his operational

importance to al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, the Yemen-based group that is considered the most active branch of the terror network. Late Friday, two U.S. officials said intelligence indicated al-Asiri was among those killed in the strike. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because alAsiri’s death has not officially been confirmed. The 29-year-old al-Asiri was one of the first Saudis to join the Ye-

men-based al-Qaida branch and became its key bombmaker, designing the explosives in two attempted attacks against the United States. Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula is led by Yemeni militant Nasser al-Wahishi, a former aide of Osama bin Laden, and combines Yemeni fighters with the remnants of the terror network’s branch in Saudi Arabia, which was largely crushed by the kingdom’s security in the mid 2000’s.

one smiling,” Bach, 59, said. Only one business in town, an insurance company, was spared the early September flooding. The record-high waters of the Susquehanna have left proprietors struggling – some with the challenges of reopening, others with uncertainty whether they can come back and at least one with a feeling of defeat. Bach, who opened a fitness center in the former furniture store two years ago, is among those who are fighting their way back. “I have an investment here. My family’s been here for years. And who am I going to sell it to? Who’s going to come here and buy this and give me a reasonable price for it?” Bach said. Wayne Wolfe and his wife Sue were in the midst of remodeling the former True Value Hardware store on West Union Street to open their new 5 Mountains Hardware when flooding hit. “We lost money on the building and time, but there are a lot of people … worse off than we are,” Wayne Wolfe, 54, said. The Union Township couple recently returned to the area after living in Saudi Arabia for 30 years. Wayne Wolfe took an early retirement package from his petroleum engineer job so he and Sue could be close to their chil-

dren and grandchildren, who had moved to the states years ago. “We’re using some of that money to do this. It’s an income stream for retirement,” Wayne said, and the fact that the store is in a flood zone doesn’t worry him. “This building has had water in 2011, 1972, 1938 and 1909, so this is the fourth flood in this building. It will happen again. It’s not a matter of if it will, it’s when it will,” he said. Frame shop reopening Bonnie Shane, 56, is reopening her art and frame shop – The Upstairs Gallery – at the corner of Main and Union streets. Shane had moved the shop to a ground floor section of the building so she could remodel the upstairs, and lost some heavy equipment when the town flooded. But family and friends helped Shane and her husband, Dan, move most everything else back upstairs before the flood hit. “I saved my inventory and my customer work. I would hope (to reopen) by the end of October,” Shane said. The Shanes’ ground-floor tenant wasn’t as fortunate. Jim Houseknecht, 50, lost all the equipment in his two-year-old business – Angelo’s Pizzeria. He thought it would be covered by the Shanes’ flood insurance, but their policy covered only the structure. He hopes to qualify for a Small Business Administration loan. And he’s worried. “On the SBA papers, they want to know what you have for collat-

eral. I sold my classic car and I borrowed and borrowed and borrowed because, when you open up a new restaurant, you can’t go to a bank, they don’t want to talk to you. … So, pretty much, everything’s in the breeze,” he said. John Morgan, owner of the 5 Mountain Market, also is waiting on numbers. “Whether or not we can come back is going to depend on if I can get these SBA loans. I don’t even have all the numbers to plug in to the loan (application) yet. My warehouse is working on what it’s going to take to do a total rebuild here. And if it’s not cost-effective to operate and pay back those loans, if it’s just too much money, we can’t do it,” the 47-year-old Pittston resident said. Theda Bellas isn’t interested in a loan for her business. “I’ve been here 25 years and not a drop of water on the floor, so I didn’t get any (flood) insurance. I’m too old to borrow money and

go in debt at this age,” said Bellas, of Union Township. Ask what her plans are for Shickshinny Floral and Gifts, Bellas points to the sign in the front window of her West Union Street shop: “For Sale – Make Offer.” Future is unclear

Her future may be uncertain, but Bellas knows she doesn’t want to open another flower shop somewhere else. “I need to do something different. But at 65, I’m not sure I want to do anything right now anyway.” The town needs a flower shop,

she said, but her storefront will be flooded again in the future. And she’s not at all confident she’ll be able to find a buyer. “You can look at it two ways: It’s a good opportunity, but it’s also a gamble. You could have another flood next year or it could be 25 years before it happens again.”

Cancer fighters step into the area

A popular national event comes to town and brings out some very committed people.

Rikki Hyjurick of Mountain Top signs the Wall of Hope before the start of the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K Walk at Wilkes University’s Henry Student Center in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday morning. The event is popular nationally, but this was the first time it was held in this area. People who turned out to help expressed many reasons for getting involved. Some were cancer survivors, while others just wanted to help.

She has also personally known individuals who have battled the disease. Russ Keeler, of Kingston, has volunteered with several American Cancer Society events, in-

WILKES-BARRE – The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K Walk held Saturday morning was the first time the event has taken place in this area. The walk, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, has been held annually for the past 18 years in communities throughout the United States. According to media chairwoman, Sara Klinges, approximately 500 people were expected to be involved with the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton walk, which started at the Henry Student Center at Wilkes University. It was expected to raise $50,000 for the cause. The first Making Strides event was held in 1993, in Boston. More than $400 million has been raised since that time, with close to 7 million walkers participating. Tonyehn Verkitus of the American Cancer Society coordinated Saturday’s event, which started off National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Every October, various organizations make an effort to educate and make the public more aware of this disease. The walkers, as well as the volunteers, all had personal reasons for their attendance at Saturday’s fundraiser. Plymouth residents Henry and Elizabeth Mertis were among the first to register for the walk.“I am here to support my

cluding Relay for Life. “I’m here to do whatever they need me to do” Keeler said. Joan Senchak, a four-year cancer survivor from Pringle, was in charge of setting up the survivors’ table at the event. Senchak’s reasons for attending the event were deeply personal. “Everybody was so wonderful during my time of need…the American Cancer Society is where I volunteer my free time.” Kingston resident Linda Mo-

harsky has participated in several cancer fundraising events. Her mother, as well as a close friend, were both diagnosed with breast cancer. Another four-year survivor, Jackie Kahley, of Plymouth, is the only one in her family who has ever suffered from breast cancer. This is the first time that she has participated in this type of event. “This is the first year that I feel well enough to attend,” she said.

two blocks north of the Market Street Bridge. May said PennDOT is facing time constraints, as patching work cannot be done in overlycold weather. The paving work is being done in preparation for bridge deck replacement work slated to begin in the spring. That construction is anticipated to last 12 to 18 months. “We had to wait for the rain and we can’t wait until it gets too cold,” May said. “If we can’t get it done before the weather gets cold, then we can’t start on it until the spring and then everything gets pushed back.” He also said PennDOT will monitor how the road work affects traffic patterns and adapt its plans as necessary. “On Monday we’ll look at it, and if it’s causing major headaches we’ll get in contact with the city of Wilkes-Barre to see what our options are to make it as convenient as possible for the traveling public,” May said. Wilkes-Barre City spokesman Drew McLaughlin said the bridge work will not alter the detour in place around the Sterling as the detour needs to

remain in place until the building is demolished. Emergency vehicles have already been instructed to use alternate routes such as North Main or Pennsylvania Avenue instead of River Street. “The city understands the inconvenience factor for people, but public safety is paramount,” McLaughlin said. Lane closures on the Veterans Memorial Bridge will begin in the westbound driving lane, then move to the westbound passing lane, then to the eastbound driving lane, then to the eastbound passing lane. Work on each lane is expected to last two weeks, according to PennDOT. Permanent detours were installed around the Hotel Sterling on Wednesday at the recommendation of two engineers, who inspected the building after it took on water that leaked from the Market Street Bridge flood gate in early September. Temporary detours had been put in place a week earlier. The detour closes lanes on West Market Street and River Street, redirecting westbound traffic from West Market Street onto South Franklin Street and northbound traffic from River Street onto West Northampton Street.

must make do with one brake machine for now because he doesn’t have the roughly $6,500 to replace the second one lost in the flood. He also needs an air compressor that will cost about $2,000. Long spent the last few weeks washing out mud and grease, disinfecting the garage and rebuilding his inventory so he may service customers to generate muchneeded revenue. He doesn’t have flood insurance and he jacked up equipment about 7 feet on a lift mistakenly thinking it would be out of harm’s way. He bought the business about five years ago and is frustrated that the federal government provides grants for homes without flood insurance but not businesses. “Our government’s done nothing for small businesses,” Long said as he put away some of the re-

Plymouth Richard Brassington recently received a call from a customer who wanted Brassington to check something on a motorcycle. He wanted to help the man but couldn’t find his volt meter. Even if it’s still in the disarray at Wyoming Valley Wheels, the device may be on the growing list of stuff that no longer works. “I feel overwhelmed. I can’t put a dent in what I have to do,” said Brassington, who rents three buildings near the old Carey Avenue bridge for his business. He did not obtain flood insur-

ance as a renter and is particularly worried because one air compressor was lost, and the other one appears to be damaged. Selling and installing motorcycle tires is a big part of his business, and he’s been struggling to stay afloat with the downturn in the economy the last two years. “Anything I need to replace will have to be out-of-pocket, and there’s nothing in the pocket,” Brassington said. Larksville The late John Lech started J L Used Auto Parts along Route11in 1969, building an inventory of parts that he knew would someday be hard to find and thus worth money. About 95 percent of that inventory was destroyed by flooding, said his sons, Jamey and Jerry Lech, who now operate the business. The brothers have sold parts to people around the globe. Their relatives had helped to move vehicles and trailers filled with parts to higher ground on their acres of property. Much of the inventory would have been

safe if the 38-foot river crest estimate that was in effect when they evacuated had held true. J L is now open for business, but the Lechs can’t simply order new parts because they are the suppliers. “We’re trying to function. We’re mainly open now to try to buy cars to rebuild our stock,” said Jamey Lech. On top of their loss, the Lechs also must remove sheds and other debris deposited on their land. They didn’t have flood insurance, saying government officials led them to believe years ago that they were not at risk for significant flooding, even though the area wasn’t protected by the Wyoming Valley Levee, they said. “We had a false security,” Jamey Lech said. Edwardsville The Long John Silver Seafood Shoppe in the Mark Plaza opened Friday, workers said. Other businesses on lower ground in the complex, including flagship ten-

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2011 PAGE 13A ants Kmart and Redner’s Warehouse Market, were still in cleanup mode last week. A security company has been hired to make sure no trespassers enter. The roughly 120 full- and parttime workers at Redner’s have been offered employment at the chain’s other stores in Pittston, Nesquehoning and Scranton, said company spokesman Eric White. Arcadia Realty, the plaza owner, is still assessing damage to the structure and has not informed tenants whether it will rebuild, White said. Redner’s officials have not yet decided whether they will locate another store at the plaza if Arcadia decides to repair the place, White said. “We are still in the process of sorting through insurance claims and damage estimates,” White said, thanking the many customers who have contacted the company with well wishes and inquiries about its future plans for the Edwardsville location. Kmart plans to reopen, and the

store is working with Arcadia to calculate damages and come up with a plan for repairs, said spokeswoman Kim Freely. The store’s employees – she wasn’t sure of the number – are currently working on other post-flood assignments, and they will be briefed soon on their options until the store reopens, she said. West Pittston Char & Company Salon and Spa stylist Wally Kulick recently completed a hair-straightening “Brazilian blowout” for a regular customer who didn’t mind the pending, post-flood construction on the first floor. The second floor area was part of the Wyoming Avenue spa but is now used for all salon work because it wasn’t touched by flood waters. “We’ve been back two weeks now. Our clients were all kind and patient,” said Kulick, who was relieved that he wasn’t out of work See BUSINESSES, Page 14A

Last week The Times Leader surveyed flood-affected businesses up and down the Wyoming Valley, from the West Nanticoke area to Pittston. Despite suffering major losses, many owners displayed an optimistic spirit, tainted with a strong dose of reality.

Flood-damaged businesses may get county loan For every $35,000, a full-time equivalent permanent job must be created or retained. Times Leader staff

Luzerne County has a loan program that may be an option for businesses that need to borrow money to repair damage caused by tropical storms Irene and Lee, county officials said. About $9 million in loan funding is available to attract new businesses and retain ex-

for an extended period. Working at night is odd because he’s used to the bright lights and sounds of other surrounding businesses that remain closed. “Little by little, you see the lights coming back,” he said. George and Carol Budnovitch ate sandwiches packed in tin foil outside his self-named auto repair and inspection station one afternoon last week, enjoying the break. They’ve come every day since the flood, chipping away at the work and trying to keep each other upbeat. “Some days are good and some are bad,” Carol said. Budnovitch worked at the station since 1952 and bought the property in1975. He estimates his damages at $50,000, including the loss of antiques and a model train setup that added ambiance and helped make the place a hangout when business was slow. He plans to reopen but doesn’t know when. He needs electricity to determine if the emissions testing machine that he elevated still works, and he hasn’t yet touched the basement cleanup. Jeff Holtz reopened his Old Mill Pine hardware store on Exeter Avenue the day after the flood because his fellow flood victims needed supplies. Friends and customers arrived on their own to help him clean out the muck left by 3 feet of water – a height he has marked with a sign in the store. “It was overwhelming,” he said of the support. He didn’t have flood insurance, because in 1972 the structure had water only in the basement, so he will have to pay for a new floor and other repairs.

isting ones. Applicants must commit to creating or retaining one permanent, full-time equivalent job for every $35,000 borrowed from the county. Loan funds are available for eligible businesses at an interest rate of 1.5 percent for terms of seven or 15 years. Loans may finance up to half the project costs, with a minimum loan amount of $50,000 and a maximum loan amount of $500,000. A majority (51 percent or more) of the jobs must be held by people from low- or

moderate-income families. County Community Development Director Andrew Reilly, who oversees the loan program, said interested businesses must also obtain a letter of credit from a lending institution in the amount of the loan guaranteeing that the county will be repaid if the borrower stops repaying. Borrowers must have good credit to obtain these letters of credit, and banks typically charge 1 percent to 3 percent fees, though the interest payment will be lowered as the

Bicycles, snowblowers and lots of other merchandise were moved to a safe spot before the water rose inside the structure. The stuff that was in the flood but still usable is for sale cheap in the lot outside the store, as indicated by a large sign that says “mud sale.” Some businesses in the borough have come up with other options to continue serving customers. Bank of America has a mobile banking trailer set up. Two Cefalo Associates law office buildings were damaged by flooding, so the law staff is operating from an office trailer behind the building and another location, a worker said. “Our town will be back,” says a banner hanging on a Cefalo building.

be crunched to figure out what it would cost to start fresh. He had to pay other fabricators to complete existing orders because he doesn’t want to lose customers. Tighe said he was powerless to remove expensive, heavy machinery before the flood hit because he needed more time to obtain a crane. “We’re in a tough position,” he said.

Pittston G T Fabrication Inc. general manager Gino Tighe said the flood wiped out $2.5 million in equipment and forced 30 employees into unemployment. Tighe is trying to work out a solution so the disruption and loss is not repeated at the metal fabrication and finishing plant. The Benedict Street property has been flooded several times since 1996, and staying would be like “Russian roulette,” he said. “We need to relocate, but we can’t do that without a buyout,” he said. The business has flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program, but Tighe said the maximum coverage that may be purchased is $500,000 to replace contents and $500,000 to repair building damage. That won’t come close to the money needed to acquire new equipment, and the business won’t receive the building damages portion because he’s not fixing up the old place. Tighe’s head is spinning with numbers that must

Plains Township Randy “Randu” Ayers wonders if his regular customers are in withdrawal missing the barbeque he dished out at Randu’s Southern Open Pit Bar-b-que on River Street in Plains Township. The roof was the only part of the building visible in the flood, and he shows pictures on his phone if people don’t believe him. He leased the building and doesn’t know if the owner will renovate, or even if the building can be saved. Ayers lost an estimated $10,000 in equipment, plus missed sales revenue. He is focusing on his grilling and barbeque catering business for now but hopes to reopen the restaurant there or somewhere else by the spring. He took over the restaurant three years ago and said he had started attracting faithful customers and newcomers. “Things were just starting to get moving,” he said. Green Valley Landscaping is on the highest ground in the Plainsville section of the township, but workers still prepared by moving equipment and supplies above 1972 flood levels. The effort helped, but the business still lost material that was swept away or inundated, said Jerry Natishan, president and owner of the company along with business partner Dale Shuman. The office had more than 3 feet of water, forcing two managers to

The county’s loan program has “many more strings attached” than the disaster recovery loans provided through the U.S. Small Business Administration, he said. Interest on the SBA loans ranges from 4 percent to 6 percent. “The county loan program may fit some businesses’ needs, but for others the SBA loan is going to be a better option for them,” said Reilly, who advises businesses to first explore SBA loans.

ruined property and to scrub. The workers also rescued a stray kitten that is now being nursed back to health and will likely be named “Mud.” Natishan

said he was thankful he had the resources to recover quickly so customers wouldn’t miss service. “We got this place back in shape in two days,” he said.

Indiana man teaches others about living the simple life TOM MOONEY REMEMBER WHEN

permaculture By ANDY GRIMM

Chicago Tribune

HICAGO — Marshall Willoughby could pass for a homeless man as he sips coffee outside a neighborhood bar in his adopted hometown of Gary, Ind. His eyebrows are wild and bushy, his worn clothes flaked with sawdust and

spotted with grease. He smiles broadly and exposes a lower jaw holding too few teeth. But the passersby from whom

he cadges cigarettes know him, and if you know Marshall Willoughby even in passing, you know he has a home. Willoughby, 66, would like to give tours of his house, a 120square-foot geodesic dome made from Styrofoam panels covered with a thin layer of concrete. He likes to show off rough-hewn contraptions he has built to provide creature comforts: his laptop, tankless water heater and lights run on a bank of old batteries charged by solar panels, homemade windmills, or an Army surplus generator powered by a rough-hewn contraption that burns wood gas. He pumps his water from his own well. He piles his waste beside his garden beds, composting his own feces into topsoil. In drums near his melon patch rest gallons of his urine, decanting into ammonia fertilizer. He gets about half his calories from his garden, the rest from occasional bike trips to the grocery store or a local hot dog stand.

Marshall Willoughby inside his 120-square-foot geodesic dome, made from Styrofoam covered in concrete.

With his gap-toothed grin and his yard strewn with rusting machines, Willoughby knows how it looks. In the most genial way possible, he will tell you that you are the crazy one. “People are so damn ignorant

about energy,” he said. Willoughby admits he lives at the extreme end of a spectrum of environmental awareness, that he lives as a survivalist surrounded by people who prefer to thrive. He ascribes to the decades-old

ethos of permaculture, defined by Willoughby as expending as little energy as possible in exchange for a maximum return, to replace all that is taken from the environment. Eat a carrot one day, pile your feces next to the garden patch the next. In Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood, Milton Dixon heads a permaculture meet-up group and knows which parks he can forage for crab apples to juice. He, and most of his peers, acknowledge that urban permaculture involves co-existing with nature and society. Extreme sacrifice like Willoughby’s can make one somewhat isolated from neighbors living a more conventional lifestyle. Willoughby doesn’t care. “He can start preaching pretty See PRACTICING, Page 4B

his second anniversary at Grace Episcopal Church. You’ve said that you were very involved with your church as a youth, but then got away from organized religion for a while. And though you entered the priesthood later in life, you’ve said that you always felt a special connection with God. “I never lost Christ as my savior. I knew that I had a very special relationship with Christ. I take so much comfort in knowing that Christ was both human and divine. The idea that Christ walked on the Earth ... he cried, he laughed, he bled, just like you and I do, and at the same time, was God and was divine ... I take great comfort in that and always

did. From the very beginning, even before I went to seminary, I knew that I was being called to a parish ministry. And that has been confirmed to me over and over and over again, almost on a daily basis.” What do you enjoy the most about your work? “Certainly what I enjoy the most — and almost every priest will tell you this — is celebrating the Eucharist on Sunday. Sunday is the highlight of my week. Being able to celebrate the Eucharist is both humbling and joyful. I also love preaching, and I’m told that I’m a good preacher and I feel that I’m a good preacher. I spend a great deal of time preparing sermons. And I enjoy pastoral care, and being able to help people in both good times and bad times.”

What do you do to relax? “I never really golfed before I came here, but there are a number of avid golfers in the parish, so I’ve learned how to play golf. But I’m really, really bad. But I go golfing, not as often as I want, but in the summer I was averaging once every two weeks. And I enjoy gardening and cooking.” Favorite music? “Anything from the ’60s. Motown, the Philadelphia sound, the British Invasion, California ... anything.” Favorite city? “New York, N.Y. Without a doubt.” Favorite vacation spot? “Antigua.” Favorite food? “Anything that is Pennsylvania Dutch. My grandmothSee MEET, Page 5B

ver hear the expression “a kid in a candy store”? Well, in my younger days I wasn’t just a kid in a candy store; I was a kid who was in charge of a candy store. Up until the early 1960s, WilkesBarre’s upper East Market Street was a type of business community that we no longer have. It was a neighborhood shopping district, filled with stores that could sell neighbors all over the Heights and Mayflower anything from two pounds of fresh fish to a roll of linoleum designed to look like hardwood. Hungry for a giant dill pickle? Need your best suit cleaned and pressed? Want a new TV? How about a haircut? Maybe overseas postage for a letter? You could get all of ’em there without burning up a teaspoon of gasoline. Today you’d need the arena and all its allied stores and shopping centers to approach the variety of goods and services you once found on Brewery Hill. Well, anyway, back to the topic. This swarm of little stores didn’t have workforces; they were staffed by the founding families. If your parents owned a store, you unpacked stock, waited on trade and swept the floor, exactly the way farm kids fed pigs and picked corn, with nobody ever asking “Hey, how come I have to do this?” My “department” was three huge racks for candy and gum, sitting atop a long case full of licentiously aromatic cigars, snuff and chewing tobacco, behind which was a tall rack of Old Golds, Raleighs, Camels and every other brand of cigarette known at the time, including a super-cheap kind called Wings. In time I extended my borders to the soda department as well. What power! What authority! It was my 13-year-old judgment that made sure an elderly gentleman got his twisty, black Italian “seegars” for the evening, and the young sports sweating over the pinball machine were properly fueled by endless freezing glass bottles of Squirt and Nehi. The candy racks were closest to my heart, however. Soon I made the discovery that the more candy you piled on them, the more people bought. So I went all out with mountains of Mounds, heaps of Hersheys and piles of Pez. We had a penny candy shelf as well. That was still in the days when a cent bought you a sizable slab of Klein’s chocolate or an enormous roll of bubble gum called “Blony.” At the center of my sugary universe, on top of the counter, was a huge glass jar filled with chunks of vanilla and chocolate fudge, at a penny apiece. I liked selling fudge better than anything else because when you opened the jar you released a scent directly from Heaven. Let’s ask the big question. How come, a half-century later, I don’t weigh 600 pounds and smoke like a factory? That’s because I’m living proof of this principle: when you handle something all day, it has no mystery for you. I put thousands of pounds of tobacco in people’s hands, but never lit the stuff up myself. I invented the “candy-sicle” (a frozen candy bar on a stick), but to this day if I’m given a choice I’ll grab the grapes and opt for the oranges. I stop at the convenience store for a soda now and then, but it’s always a small one. Yet, once I was the lord of all petty vices. Eat your heart out, Willie Wonka.

SOCIAL PAGE GUIDELINES The Times Leader allows you to decide how your wedding notice reads, with a few caveats. Wedding announcements run in Sunday’s People section, with black-and-white photos, free of charge. Articles must be limited to 220 words, and we reserve the right to edit announcements that exceed that word count. Announcements

must be typed or submitted via www.timesleader.com. (Click on the "people" tab, then “weddings” and follow the instructions from there.) Submissions must include a daytime contact phone number and must be received within 10 months of the wedding date. We do not run first-year anniversary announcements or announcements of weddings that took place more than a year ago. (Wedding

photographers often can supply you with a black-and-white proof in advance of other album photographs.) All other social announcements must be typed and include a daytime contact phone number. Announcements of births at local hospitals are submitted by hospitals and published on Sundays.

Out-of-town announcements with local connections also are accepted. Photos are only accepted with baptism, dedication or other religious-ceremony announcements but not birth announcements. Engagement announcements must be submitted at least one month before the wedding date to guarantee publication and must include the wedding date. We

cannot publish engagement announcements once the wedding has taken place. Anniversary photographs are published free of charge at the 10th wedding anniversary and subsequent five-year milestones. Other anniversaries will be published, as space allows, without photographs.

quickly when you first get to know him,â&#x20AC;? said Grischa Kurz, a friend and neighbor. Kurz recalls visiting Willoughby last winter, when a fire damaged his hut. Friends offered to let him stay with them, to collect money to build him a new, slightly larger place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did not seem interested at all,â&#x20AC;? Kurz recalled. Less committed people may have placed a brick in their toilet tank to save water. They may commute in hybrid cars. They may believe these small sacrifices make their lifestyle sustainable. One day, Willoughby believes, there will be no gas for your cars and your toilet will not flush. If that day comes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Willoughby believes it will soon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he will wake again on the floor of his dome, load wood into his generator, and his life will not have changed at all. He has become acquainted with permaculture first out of concern for personal economy, then for the ecology, and finally, ideology. His second guiding belief is â&#x20AC;&#x153;peak oil,â&#x20AC;? a controversial theory that the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petroleum reserves are near their maximum See PRACTICING, Page 5B output and that they will dwindle fast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; faster, Willoughby thinks, than his neighbors will be willing Your Power Equipment Headquarters to trade in their McMansions for

domed sheds. Both permaculture and peak oil align with everything that Willoughbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life has affirmed to him, a life that has valued improvisation. For 20 years starting after he returned from service in Vietnam, Willoughby ran a successful auto repair business in Hyde Park, Ill., where his clients included University of Chicago students and faculty. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t home from Vietnam long when Middle East nations put an oil embargo in place, and he watched the polite society of his neighborhood fray. Graduate students scuffled with each other in lines for rationed gas. Women who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a grease monkey like him the time of day were suddenly very interested, if he had access to a few gallons of fuel. When the landlord lost the building to a bank, he was again without a lease or credit. His repair business, which had once counted 14 employees and consumed 70 hours of his week, was gone. He moved to a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house in Gary and wound up delivering pizzas, saving money for a house of his own that would generate no bills. When he was laid off by the pizza parlor in 2000, he was done with jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have not paid a utility bill in

dollars, and I could fill up the tank of gas for a little more than 2 bucks, and it would last me for at least a week.” What are you reading? “‘Goodness Gracious Green’ by Judy Pace Christie.” Favorite quote? “Feed My Sheep.” Most memorable moment? “Being ordained. I started the process in 2000 and was ordained in 2009, so for nine years I kept working toward this goal.

10, 12 years,” Willoughby said. “I do not have a job. You don’t need a job. There’s enough work to do.” He moved into a camper van on a lot a friend bought for him for $7,000. Eventually, he bought a dome kit for $350, plus shipping. Willoughby estimates that he lives on perhaps $4,000 a year, mostly money from repair jobs. Last week, he applied for Social Security, which he figures will give him a few hundred dollars a month. He knows that the neighbors who call him for help fixing their cars or digging out their sewer lines may get tired of his lectures. He knows experts, smart people, debate the concepts underlying peak oil’s apocalyptic vision. Inside his dome, he waits. “I have been out here so long because you have to know your neighbors,” he said. “I’ve talked ’til I’m blue in the face. People hate to see me coming. “Someday, they’ll be coming to me.”

And ‘The Sound of Music.’ It’s probably the only musical that I really like. And I was an aficionado for years of all of the James Bond movies.” First car? “A 1966 British racing green Austin-Healey Alan K. Stout writes about area Sprite.

Penn State QB Matthew McGloin runs Saturday against Indiana.

Questions still remain after victory The Nittany Lions ‘got a lot of work to do’ after a close call in their Big Ten opener against the Hoosiers.

By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The final pass of the game fell well short of the end zone, knocked loose by a gang of Penn State defenders. The ball found its way into the paws of senior Eric Latimore, and the senior disposed of it in less than a second, giving it an emphatic spike into the fake grass at Indiana. Call it half celebration, half frustration. How had it even reacPENN STATE hed that point?

When Phillies need him the most, Howard delivers

THEY SAY THE big slugger in middle of the Philadelphia Phillies lineup doesn’t deliver enough big hits -- that many of his mighty shots turn out to be meaningless. Well, the one he delivered Saturday meant the world to the Phillies. It may have made all the difference between winning and losing. When Howard blasted a three-run homer to give the Phillies the lead in the sixth inning, it not only lifted the

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION Phillies to a 4-3 lead over the St. Louis Cardinals. It hoisted a huge weight off his shoulders. Because the big man has come up small in similar situations during the past. Howard had a horrible World Series when the Phillies lost to the Yankees in 2009, hitting just .179 with just three home runs in the postseason that year. See HOWARD, Page 10C

Cano delivers for Yanks in Game 1 win vs. Tigers By By MIKE FITZPATRICK AP Sports Writer

Aug. 11. “I always say things happen for a reason,” Cano said. “We couldn’t play last night, but we played today and we ended up winning the game.” Freddy Garcia starts for New York on Sunday afternoon in Game 2 of the best-of-five American League division series. Max Scherzer gets the ball for the Tigers, who will try to rebound the same way they did against the Yankees in 2006. That year, Detroit dropped the series opener in New York before winning three straight to stun the heavily favored Yankees in the first round. Game 2 of that playoff was postponed a day by rain. This time, it took two nights to finish the opener. Along with Curtis Granderson, Cano is one of New York’s two

NEW YORK — Robinson Cano hit a grand slam and drove in six runs, rookie Ivan Nova pitched brilliantly into the ninth inning in an unusual relief appearance and the New York Yankees shook off a 23-hour rain delay to beat the Detroit Tigers 9-3 in their suspended playoff opener Saturday night. A day after rain wiped out aces Justin Verlander and CC Sabathia after only 11⁄2 innings, the game resumed in the bottom of the second. No national anthem, all Yankees. Cano barely missed a homer on his tiebreaking double in the fifth and New York broke it open with a six-run sixth against Doug Fister. Brett Gardner had a two-run single with two outs to make it 4-1 and, moments later, Cano connected off Al Alburquerque for his fourth grand slam since See YANKS, Page 10C

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Crawford, GAR pull away from Redeemer in 2nd half The Grenadiers quarterback scores seven TDs and rushes for 157 yards in victory. By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader

WILKES-BARRE – Even if it couldn’t be seen in Saturday’s final score or the team’s record, this is a different Holy Redeemer squad from last year. Take last year’s game with GAR, for example, when the Grenadiers scored 41 points on nine plays in two quarters. Fast forward to Saturday’s rematch. The Royals found themselves tied with Darrell Crawford and the Grenadiers at 20 apiece with four minutes remaining in the second quarter. Unfortunately for Joe Ostrowski’s club, the Grenadiers

posted 35 consecutive points GAR in an 8:14 span to shut down the Royals by a 68-26 score. REDEEMER “We matched them athletefor-athlete in (Dave) Gawlas and (Darrell) Crawford,” Ostrowski said. “Unfortunately, we turned the ball over twice and GAR never looked back.” Crawford had a landmark day for the Grenadiers. The senior quarterback ran for 157 yards on eight carries – an average of 19.6 yards per run. In total, Crawford accumulated for seven touchdowns. He scored touchdowns on a punt return, kick return and five rushing scores. Royals quarterback Gawlas matched Crawford score-forscore in the first half. Gawlas ran for two touchdowns and

threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Jim Strick to give Holy Redeemer a 6-0 lead in the first quarter. Gawlas finished the day with 158 yards rushing on 28 carries. Holy Redeemer tied the game with 3:59 remaining in the second quarter when Mike Martin bullied his way for a 9yard touchdown to make it 2020. After a successful onside kick to begin the second half, the Royals’ fortunes soured when Shakir Soto intercepted a pass and went for 54 yards for a touchdown with 11:04 remaining in the third quarter.

COMETS Continued from Page 1C

other blocked punt the Comets recovered at the Tunkhannock 3yard line. Despite the outburst and a defense that stifled Tunkhannock (0-5), Crestwood coach Greg Myers was concerned entering the game. “There’s no doubt they improved the first couple weeks,” said Myers, whose team improved to 4-1. “They took Hazleton right down to the wire. You look at it, they got stopped inside the 5 once and had Hazleton backed up on the final drive they eventually won the game on. “They were definitely an improved football team and we were worried about them.” Myers was also worried about how his team would react after a

26-21 loss at East Stroudsburg North last weekend under similar weather conditions. “It was extremely important,” Myers said. “That’s how I left last Friday night – how are we going to respond? We talked about having good leadership and I didn’t think we had it last week despite the conditions we tried playing in. But our leaders stepped up this week, and we responded exactly the way I wanted.” After Pickett’s interception return, Legg pounced on the ensuing squib kick. He scored on a 13yard run five plays later, increasing the advantage to 35-0. Then after holding Tunkhannock on a fourth-and-1, Crestwood moved 56 yards on seven plays. Evan Callaghan’s 7-yard run made it 42-0 going into halftime. The only intrigue left in the final two quarters was whether Crestwood would pitch its first shutout since defeating Hanover Area 24-0 in 2006, a span of 54

Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins drops back to pass against Ohio State on Saturday in Columbus, Ohio.

Spartan D throttles Buckeyes The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Kirk Cousins threw a 33-yard scoring pass to B.J. Cunningham and Michigan State’s No. 1-ranked defense overwhelmed Ohio State 10-7 Saturday, shutting out the Buckeyes until the final seconds. Michigan State (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten) came in as the national leader in total defense (172 yards per game) and passing defense (101 ypg) and almost matched those numbers. The Spartans allowed just 178 total yards and 143 yards through the air. The Buckeyes (3-2, 0-1), behind true freshman quarterback Braxton Miller, stumbled and bumbled all day on offense. Joe Bauserman led Ohio State to its only score, a 34-yard pass to Evan Spencer with 10 seconds left. The Spartans then recovered the onside kick. Dan Conroy added a 50-yard field goal for the Spartans, far from flawless but thoroughly in command. Wisconsin 48, Nebraska 17 MADISON, Wis. — Russell Wilson gave Nebraska a harsh welcome to the Big Ten, throwing for two touchdowns and running for another in No. 7 Wisconsin’s rout of the eighthranked Cornhuskers at Camp Randall Stadium. Montee Ball ran for 151 yards and four touchdowns for the Badgers (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten). But Wilson was the main attraction for a prime-time television audience as Wisconsin overcame a slow start to solidify its status as the class of the conference. Taylor Martinez threw three interceptions for the Huskers (4-1, 0-1), who showed they weren’t quite ready for the best of the Big Ten. Michigan 58, Minnesota 0 ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Denard Robinson threw two touchdown passes and ran for a TD to lead No. 19 Michigan in a win over Minnesota. The Wolverines (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) had their most lopsided win since beating Indiana by the same score in 2000. Vincent Smith scored on a run, pass and catch to help Michigan lead 38-0 at halftime. Robinson was 15 of 19 for 169 yards and didn’t throw an interception for the first time since the opener and had a season-low six rushing attempts for 51 yards. He was taken out in the third quarter. Illinois 38, Northwestern 35 CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase scored a 1-yard touchdown with 13 seconds left to lead No. 24 Illinois to a comeback win over Northwestern. The sophomore QB threw for a career-high 391 yards and three touchdowns for the Illini (5-0, 1-0). All three TD passes went to A.J. Jenkins, who had 12 catches for a school-record 268 yards. Scheelhaase had to engineer two comebacks to pull out the win over the Wildcats (2-2, 0-1).

ARLINGTON, Texas — Tyler Wilson and Jarius Wright shattered school records for passing and receiving, and Broderick Green ran 3 yards for the goahead touchdown with 1:41 left as No. 18 Arkansas gave No. 14 Texas A&M a rude preview of what it can expect from the SEC next season in a 42-38 victory Saturday. The Razorbacks (5-1) trailed by 18 at halftime, and hadn’t led before Green squeezed through the left side of the line. This makes two straight weeks the Aggies (2-2) have thrown away a huge halftime lead. They were up by 17 at home against Oklahoma State last week. Wilson was 30 of 51 for 510 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for a 2-point conversion that tied the game at 35. Wright caught 13 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns. He also made a head’s up recovery of a loose ball rolling into the end zone on the touchdown capped by Wilson’s conversion. Christine Michael ran for 230 yards and three touchdowns for A&M, but was stuffed on a fourth down to end his team’s last chance. Alabama 38, Florida 10. GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Trent Richardson ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns, breaking tackles and carrying defenders along the way, and No. 3 Alabama rolled No. 12 Florida in an early season matchup of Southeastern Conference heavyweights. Richardson finished with his fourth consecutive 100-yard game, and the latest one should solidify his position as one the Heisman Trophy front-runners. With Richardson leading the way, the Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 SEC) extended its recent dominance in the series. Alabama has outscored the Gators (4-1, 2-1) 101-29 in three wins in as many seasons. The latest one was over by halftime. Florida struck first, getting a 65-yard touchdown pass from John Brantley to Andre Debose. It was one of few highlights for the Gators, who couldn’t run, couldn’t stop the run and lost Brantley to a right leg injury late in the second quarter. LSU 35, Kentucky 7 BATON ROUGE, La. — Jordan Jefferson scored on his first play back from suspension and cornerback Tyrann Mathieu scored after setting an LSU record for career forced fumbles. Jefferson was reinstated this week after a grand jury reduced his charges in connection with a bar fight to a misdemeanor. Jarrett Lee remained the starter at quarterback. LSU coach Les Miles inserted Jefferson on an early fourth-andgoal, and Jefferson dove over the goal line to give the Tigers (5-0, 2-0 SEC) a 7-0 lead. Lee later hit Odell Beckham Jr. for a 51-yard score, their second TD connection of more than 50 yards in two games. Kentucky (2-3, 0-2) did not threaten to score until LSU led 35-0. Boise State 30, Nevada 10 BOISE, Idaho — Doug Martin ran for two touchdowns and Boise State’s suffocating defense shut down Nevada’s potent offense. Boise State’s defense dominated throughout the game and prevented the Wolf Pack (1-3) from crossing midfield until midway through the third quarter. Martin rushed for 126 yards on 21 carries, and his 43-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter put the Broncos (4-0) up 27-0. His best game of the season helped offset a lackluster performance by Kellen Moore and the rest of the Boise State offense. Moore threw two touchdowns, but was also intercepted on back-to-back possessions in the second quarter. Moore’s second touchdown pass gave him 113 in his career, moving

past Colt McCoy of Texas for eighth best all-time. Auburn 16, South Carolina 13 COLUMBIA, S.C. — Barrett Trotter threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Phillip Lutzenkirchen with 1:38 left to lift Auburn. The Tigers (4-1, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) had struggled to move the ball against South Carolina’s defense. Trotter had thrown two interceptions and was sacked four times by the Gamecocks (4-1, 2-1). But down 13-9, Barrett led Auburn on a 12-play, 57-yard drive that ended with a pass to wide open Lutzenkirchen in front of the goal line. The junior fumbled the ball into the end zone, then recovered it just before sliding out of bounds to put Auburn ahead. South Carolina advanced to Auburn’s 29 on its final possession before time expired, though Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier argued that clock should have stopped with 1 second left after a completed pass for a first down. Michael Dyer ran for 141 yards on a career-high 41 carries and had a 1-yard TD for Auburn, which has won its past 11 SEC games. SMU 40, TCU 33 FORT WORTH, Texas — J.J. McDermott threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Johnson in overtime and SMU recovered from a fourth-quarter comeback for an upset. The loss ended a schoolrecord 22-game home winning streak for the Horned Frogs (3-2). SMU (4-1) coughed up a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter before McDermott hit Johnson on a deep out route in the end zone for his fourth scoring toss of the game. TCU’s bid to tie ended when a tipped pass from Casey Pachall bounced off the chest of Brandon Carter just past the firstdown marker. The Mustangs beat a ranked opponent for just the second time since the NCAA imposed the so-called death penalty nearly 25 years ago. Georgia Tech 45, North Carolina State 35 RALEIGH, N.C. — Orwin Smith rushed for three touchdowns and Georgia Tech extend its best start in more than 20 years. Smith finished with 74 yards and scored on runs of 13, 9 and 3 yards to help the Yellow Jackets (5-0, 2-0 ACC) open with five wins for the first time since their national championship season in 1990. Georgia Tech led 21-0, briefly allowed N.C. State to make a game of it in the third quarter and pulled away with three touchdowns in a 2-minute, 22-second span of the fourth. West Virginia 55, Bowling Green 10 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Freshman Dustin Garrison rushed for 291 yards and two touchdowns to lead West Virginia. West Virginia’s Geno Smith

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Michael Floyd had 12 catches for 137 yards and a touchdown to help Notre Dame defeat Purdue 38-10 on Saturday night. Cierre Wood ran for a career-high 191 yards, Jonas Gray rushed for 94 yards and Tommy Rees passed for 254 yards and three touchdowns for the Fighting Irish (3-2). Notre Dame outgained Purdue 551 yards to 276 in its most dominant performance of the season. It was a season-high yardage total for the Irish and their third game with at least 500 yards of offense. Notre Dame also cut out its mistakes. The Fighting Irish committed 15 turnovers in their first four games, but went without one against the Boilermakers. Caleb TerBush completed 10 of 15 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown for Purdue (2-2). The Boilermakers also committed 13 penalties for 118 yards.

After a Dwight Macon touchdown gave Toledo a 22-13 lead, Fluellen caught a 20-yard pass from Austin Dantin to put the Rockets ahead 29-13 in the third quarter. Fluellen then scored again on a 1-yard run to extend the lead to 36-16 and seal the victory for Toledo (2-3). Fluellen finished with four catches for 67 yards and added 41 yards rushing on eight carries. Morgan Williams, who took over for injured All-MAC running back Adonis Thomas, controlled the Toledo rushing attack, gaining 130 yards on 20 carries. Texas 37, Iowa State 14 AMES, Iowa — Freshman David Ash threw for 145 yards and his first two career touchdown passes and 17th-ranked Texas drilled Iowa State in the Big 12 opener for both teams. Jaxon Shipley added 141 yards receiving and a TD for the Longhorns (4-0, 1-0 Big 12), who raced out to a 34-0 halftime lead to beat the previouslyunbeaten Cyclones (3-1, 0-1). Ash threw a 48-yard TD pass to Mike Davis and a 40-yard touchdown to Shipley, and Josh Turner took a blocked punt back 34 yards to help Texas blow the game open in the second quarter. Oklahoma 62, Ball St. 6 NORMAN, Okla. — Landry Jones threw for 425 yards and five touchdowns, Tony Jefferson fueled a second-quarter scoring surge with three interceptions and second-ranked Oklahoma geared up for its rivalry game against Texas next week by beating Ball State. Jones had touchdown passes of 64 yards to Ryan Broyles and 56 yards to Jaz Reynolds a minute apart in the third quarter during the second high-volume scoring stretch for the Sooners (4-0). Clemson 23, Virginia Tech 3 BLACKSBURG, Va. — Tajh Boyd and No. 13 Clemson became the first Atlantic Coast Conference team to beat ranked teams three weeks in a row, and did it resoundingly with a victory against No. 11 Virginia Tech. Boyd, a Virginia native recruited by the Hokies, threw for a touchdown and dissected a top-10 defense for the second week in a row in snapping the Hokies’ 12-game ACC winning streak. Air Force 35, Navy 34 ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Tim Jefferson ran for a 1-yard touchdown in overtime and Parker Herrington added the conversion to give Air Force a wild victory over Navy, a significant first step in the Falcons’ bid to retain the coveted Commanderin-Chief’s Trophy. Air Force blew an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter and allowed a touchdown to Navy to begin the overtime. But the Midshipmen were penalized for an excessive celebration, and Jon Teague’s long conversion attempt failed.

PSU overcomes Hoosiers’ need for speed By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- They tried to prepare for the tempo all week. “Tried” being the operative word. But nothing Penn State could do with its scout team came close to replicating Indiana’s no-huddle attack, which regularly lined up for another snap within 20 seconds of the previous play. Even fifth-year seniors like Devon Still said they had never played against anything like it. “We tried to imitate that speed in practice and we didn’t do a good job,” defensive tackle Devon Still said with a laugh. “Because that wasn’t nowhere close to how it was out there. They’re a fast-paced offense and that really wore us down.” It made a difference in the fourth quarter as the Hoosiers scored their only touchdown of the game on a 14-play drive before coming within 40 yards of a game-winning score on the AP PHOTOS game’s final play. Indiana cornerback Greg Heban (9) tackles Penn State wide receiver Justin Brown (19) on Saturday in Bloomington, Ind. Penn State But through three quarters won 16-10. the Nittany Lions defense held strong, even without two of the unit’s top starters in Michael Mauti and D’Anton Lynn. Indiana had just 136 total yards headed into the final frame until adding 120 more in the final frame. Even better, the Lions forced nine three-and-outs and forced a turnover on the first play of another drive. That left the Lions with just enough gas to close out the game with the offense continuing to struggle. “We go into every game expecting it to be on the defense’s shoulders,” Still said. “It’s been like that all season. We like that type of pressure. We like to have to play up to that (level). “As long as we keep playing like we’ve been playing, we’re gonna keep our offense in the game and give us a chance to win.” Infirmary report Already down one cornerback, the Lions suffered another loss in the secondary when Lynn’s replacement, junior Stephon Morris injured an ankle. “How severe, I couldn’t tell you,” defensive coordinator Tom Bradley said. “He tweaked it there toward the end of the second quarter, came back in the third and hurt it again.” True freshman Adrian Amos stepped in for Morris, playing across from Chaz Powell.

den Hoosiers (1-4), and it nearly cost them the game. “Well I didn’t think we looked very good today,” coach Joe Paterno said. “We got to do some things better. We’re obviously not staying on blocks. We didn’t do a couple things. We got to go back home try to get a little better. “We’ve got a lot of work to do -I’m not going to disagree with that. But we hung in there and we won the game. That’s what you’re supposed to do.” Conventional wisdom said Penn State was supposed to have more success against an Indiana defense that had surrendered 106 points in its opening four games. The Lions’ 16 points were less than every other Indiana opponent scored, including Ball State (27), North Texas (24) and even, yes, South Carolina State (21). Moving the ball wasn’t the problem. Penn State held a 464-256 edge in total yards. The Lions held a massive time-of-possession edge of 37:27 to 22:33. But Penn State blew several chances, reaching the red zone five times and scoring just three field goals. “We’re just stopping ourselves,” McGloin said. “We’ve definitely got to improve in red zone.

Lions in 1950, followed the same routine as he did last week against Eastern Michigan as he continues to recover from his preseason hip injury. “I felt really good to begin with, but y’know it’s turf (at Indiana’s Memorial Stadium) … and for some reason it was really tough on my leg,” Paterno said. “I thought it would be better off going upstairs and playing it safe. “But I’m getting better. I don’t use a cane or anything like that. Sometimes I go overboard.”

Milestones Derek Moye continues to move up the school’s receiving charts. He moved past O.J. McDuffie for fifth place in alltime receptions during the second quarter and now has 129 for his career. The senior from Pittsburgh had a career-high 158 yards in the game, topping the century mark for the sixth time. His 74-yard touchdown catch from Matt McGloin gives him 18

field goals -- that just cant happen in Big Ten play.” Bolden (6-of-14, 67 yards) started for the fifth straight game, but the issues on offense started on the first drive. Silas Redd (129 yards) scored an 8-yard touchdown on a nice counter play, only to have it wiped out by a holding call. The next play saw Bolden throw behind his target and the pass was batted into the air and intercepted by Indiana at the goal line. That led to a field goal and an early 3-0 lead for the Hoosiers. Penn State later stalled at the Indiana 5-yard line, settling for an Anthony Fera field goal and an ugly 3-3 tie at the half. Defensively, Sean Stanley made another big play in the third quarter, stripping tailback Stephen Houston in the backfield as Devon Still jumped on the loose ball at the Hoosiers 13. Again, only a field goal for the Lions. Bolden’s best drive of the game went 12 plays down to the 2, only to see Redd fumble it away. It wasn’t until McGloin came back into the game late in the third quarter that the Lions offense finally came through. The Scranton native hit Derek Moye streaking down the right sideline for a 74-yard touchdown and a13-3 lead. McGloin led the Lions to another field goal in the fourth quarter

and finished 10-of-22 for 204 yards and a touchdown. Indiana answered with a late touchdown and converted two fourth downs in the final minute to reach the Lions’ 40-yard line with two seconds left. McGloin said after the game he felt he had a breakthrough last week with three touchdowns against Eastern Michigan and was disappointed he didn’t earn his first start of the season. “Sure, yeah, I was disappointed,” McGloin said. “Who wouldn’t be? I thought I played well enough (last week) to get the start. I thought I played well enough (Saturday) to get the start next week. But as of right now I have no idea.” The coaches, however, continue to be vague about their rationale behind the rotation, including how they pick a starter each week. Quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno said McGloin, who has been statistically superior to Bolden through five games, was a good player off the bench. McGloin bristled at that characterization. “I think I’m a good player whether I start or come off the bench … I really don’t agree with that at all,” McGloin said. “I’d like to be out on the field first. I think I deserve to be out on the field first AP PH OTO after the past two games.” Whether the coaches agree is Penn State head coach Joe Paterno looks on during a game anyone’s guess. against Indiana in Bloomington, Ind., on Saturday.

on his career, good for fourth in team history. The completion was the longest career pass for McGloin. Silas Redd had a career-high 29 carries, finishing with 129 yards. Travel list The Lions also made the trip without Lynn (head/neck), TB Brandon Beachum (ankle), TB Stephfon Green (disciplinary), WR Curtis Drake (leg), WR Bill Belton and former starting

kicker Evan Lewis. Anthony Fera continues to handle field goal duties and went 3-for-4 on the day, hitting from 22, 27 and 33 yards. He missed a 52-yarder as time expired in the first half. Five true freshmen -- Amos, WR Allen Robinson, DE Deion Barnes, OT Donovan Smith and PK Sam Ficken -- were in Bloomington and suited up. Amos, Robinson and Ficken have all played this season, while Smith and Barnes still have their redshirts intact.

FIRST QUARTER IU -- Mitch Ewald 49-yard field goal, 6:57. Drive: 9 plays, 47 yards, 1:51. Comment: The game had started off well enough for Penn State, as the Lions forced a threeand-out and Rob Bolden -- starting for the fifth straight game -had the Nittany Lions moving. But mistakes cost the Lions touchdowns. Bolden underthrew a wide-open Derek Moye, turning an easy score into a 40-yard gain. A hold on Andrew Szczerba then negated a Silas Redd touchdown run. One play later, Bolden misfires to Szczerba over the middle, and the tight end can only bat the pass into the air, where it’s intercepted by Forisse Hardin at the 1. Indiana takes the gift and drives for the game’s first points. INDIANA 3, PENN STATE 0. SECOND QUARTER PSU -- Anthony Fera 22-yard field goal, 5:46. Drive: 12 plays, 65 yards, 2:57. Comment: Matt McGloin takes over for the entire second quarter, but the results aren’t much better. Curtis Dukes breaks off a few nice runs and McGloin makes one of the better throws of the game, hitting Shawney Kersey over top of the coverage to set the Lions up in the red zone. But the offense stalls at the 5 and settles for just a field goal to send an awful-looking game into halftime tied. IU 3, PSU 3. THIRD QUARTER PSU -- Fera 27-yard field goal, 12:18. Drive: 4 plays, 3 yards , 0:52. Comment: Just like in the Temple game, the Penn State defense tries its best to win the game by itself. Sean Stanley, an emerging playmaker at defensive end, makes a great play to strip tailback Stephen Houston in the backfield and Devon Still jumps on the loose ball at the Indiana 13. Well, the drive summary says it all. Four plays, 3 yards for the field goal. On third down, Bolden delivers a ball between Justin Brown and Devon Smith -- hard to tell which one it was even intended for. It’s that kind of day for the Lions. PSU 6, IU 3. PSU -- Derek Moye 74-yard pass from Matt McGloin (Fera kick), 1:31. Drive: 1 play, 74 yards, 0:10. Comment: It was looking very doubtful we would hit this point, but yes, in fact, one of these teams has found the end zone. With McGloin under center, he winds up for his favorite play -- any kind of deep pass to Moye. He had a much easier throw available, as fullback Joe Suhey was ignored by the defense streaking down the middle of the field with no one within 25 yards of him in any direction. But Moye gets separation on his man and McGloin hits the tougher throw, nailing the big man in stride and allowing him to comfortably stroll the final 30 yards into the end zone. PSU 13, IU 3. FOURTH QUARTER PSU -- Fera 33-yard field goal, 10:10. Drive: 13 plays, 63 yards, 5:39. Comment: McGloin hits Justin Brown and Moye on consecutive third-and-long plays to keep the offense moving down to the Hoosiers’ 16. McGloin takes off on third-and-7 and makes two tacklers miss -- but the second one catches his foot and causes him to stumble before he can turn the corner toward the end zone and the field goal patrol comes out once again in the red zone In this game, 16 points should be more than enough. PSU 16, IU 3. IU -- Ted Bolser 5-yard pass from Dusty Kiel (Ewald kick), 3:51. Drive: 14 plays, 77 yards, 3:45. Comment: Or maybe not. The Hoosiers’ exhausting no-huddle scheme finally begins to wear down the Lions in the final minutes. Kiel converts twice on third down and once on fourth down, pulling Indiana into the red zone for the first time all game. Kiel then throws one where only his tight end can catch it as Bolser snags the score over Nick Sukay to give Indiana a chance. PSU 16, IU 10. First downs .....................

PLAY OF THE GAME Penn State had two turnovers deep in Indiana territory, so any play the Lions actually scored on was going to be huge. Getting the ball back at the end of the third quarter, Matt McGloin was looking for Derek Moye all the way. The pass hung up against the wind but McGloin still managed to hit Moye in stride for a 74-yard touchdown that proved to be the difference.

Watney, Na lead in Las Vegas The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Nick Watney shot a 7-under 64 on Saturday for a share of the thirdround lead with Kevin Na in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Watney, a two-time winner this year, birdied the final three holes and five of the last six at TPC Summlerin to match Na at 17 under. Na followed his second-round 63 with a 66. Robert Garrigus (63) and Kris Blanks (66) were a stroke back, and Tommy Gainey (64), Paul Goydos (66) and Tim Herron (67) followed at 15 under. Na, tied for the lead with Jhonattan Vegas and Charlie Wi after the second round, played the front nine in 4 under with five birdies and a bogey, and added a birdie on the par-5 16th to reach 17 under. Robert Garrigus had nine birdies and a bogey in his 63. Hospitalized for dehydration on Monday in Phoenix, Garrigus opened the round with four straight birdies, then birdied three of the last four. Vegas (69), Roland Thatcher (63), Spencer Levin (64), Carl Pettersson (66) were 14 under. The 36-hole cut came at 4-under 138, with 80 players

advancing. Because more than 78 players made the cut, there was a secondary cut at 4-under 209 after the third round to the low 70 players and ties. The 4 under cut tied for the lowest on the PGA Tour this season with the Travelers Championship, John Deere Classic, Viking Classic and The Barclays. Fran Quinn was the only player left on the course when play was suspended due to darkness Friday. He came back Saturday morning and made a 14-foot birdie putt for a 67 to make the cut. Price, Perry, Huston share lead CARY, N.C. — John Huston shot a 6-under 66 on Saturday for a share of the secondround lead with Nick Price and Kenny Perry in the Champions Tour’s SAS Championship. Huston, the Dick’s Sporting Good Open winner this year, played the last 10 holes in 6 under in windy conditions for the best round of the day at Prestonwood Country Club. “I was able to keep the ball in play and manage the wind,” Huston said. “It was kind of hard, it was hard to get it close. It was definitely a lot harder today. The wind seemed to keep changing

directions.” Blustering wind led to the highest single-round average in tournament history. Price and Perry had 69s to match Huston at 9 under. “You look at the guys who are up there, and obviously Kenny and John Huston are both longer hitters than I am, so I’m going to be playing first a lot (Sunday),” Price said. “My approach shots, I’m going to be playing first most of the day, I think.” Perry said he also struggled a bit with the wind. “I got off to a great start, birdied three of the first four, so that kind of set the tone for my day,” Perry said. “I hit a couple wrong clubs in the wind and hit a poor shot off the 10th tee that caused bogey. But all in all, I’m very happy with it. I’m excited — in good shape for (Sunday).” Perry is looking for his first win in two years and his first on the Champions Tour. In eight events on the over-50 tour this year, Perry has five top-10 finishes. Jeff Sluman (69) was 8 under, and defending champion Russ Cochran (71) was 7 under. First-round leader Corey Pavin had a 74 to drop four strokes back at 5 under. Fred Couples (71) also was 5 under.

King’s suffers a loss of historic proportions The Times Leader staff

CHESTER – King’s made history Saturday at Widener. Just not the kind it wanted to. Widener scored early, often and at will, dominating the Monarchs 70-0 in a MAC football game. The 70 points were the most ever allowed by King’s in a game, topping the 57 allowed last week against Albright and in a 2009 game against Springfield. The margin of defeat was also the largest in school history. Nine of the 10 scoring drives for Widener were 2:30 or less. Seven of the drives were at least 54 yards. The Pride (4-1, 2-1 MAC) limited King’s to 143 total yards, and kept the Monarchs (1-3,1-2 MAC) out of Widener territory on all but three possessions. King’s best possession reached the Widener 21 in the third quarter before a sack of quarterback Joe Kirchon on third-and-3 pushed the Monarchs back. They also reached the Widener 44 in the first half and got to the 49 in the fourth quarter. The only drive past the Widener 40 started with The Pride kicking off from its 15. Jay Torres returned the kickoff 23 yards to the Widener 47, and a 5-yard offside penalty gave King’s its best field position of the day to start the possession. Kirchon completed passes to three receivers as the drive reached the 21. Widener rolled to 658 yards of offense and scored at least two touchdowns in every quarter. The Pride enjoyed a 32-9 advantage in first downs. Widener quarterback Chris Haupt threw for 346 yards and five touchdowns, and Tevin Campbell rushed 17 times for 113

NEW YORK — With a month until the NBA season, players and owners don’t sound much closer to a labor deal than they did when the lockout began. They’re so far apart on money they decided to leave it alone Saturday and focused mainly on the salary cap. They couldn’t solve that one, either. “I wouldn’t say there was any progress. What happened was, they put some concepts up, we put some concepts up, and we’re still miles apart,” union executive director Billy Hunter said. “There’s a huge bridge, gap, that I don’t know if we’re going to be able to close it or not.” The sides will meet again Monday — the day training camps were to have begun — though time is getting short to save the start of the regular season, scheduled for Nov. 1. Neither side sounds optimistic. In a seven-hour bargaining session, their longest since the lockout began July 1, the sides talked about one of the two major issues that divides them. Owners want a hard cap, or at least want a number of changes to the current soft cap system, which the players prefer to keep largely intact. The sides didn’t even attempt to deal with the division of revenues, the other big obstacle to a labor agreement that would end the lockout. Commissioner David Stern said he had nothing to announce in terms of cancellations. But the remainder of the preseason schedule is in jeopardy — some games already have been canceled. Regular-season games could now be threatened, too. “Our desire would be to not cancel, and we had been hopeful that this weekend would be a broader marker, but for reasons which we understand, the players suggested that we resume on Monday, and we said ’fine,”’ Stern said. Stern did indicate some level of progress, saying: “We’re not near anything, but wherever that is, we’re closer than we were before.” The sides will meet in small groups, then bring large groups back for another meeting Tuesday.

MADISON, N.J. – Wilkes continued to display its potent ground game Saturday, amassing more than 300 yards for a second consecutive week in a 45-25 victory at FDU-Florham. The Colonels piled up 395 yards on the ground just a week after gaining 343 yards in a 35-27 victory over Widener. Running back Zach Tivald ran for a career-best 172 yards and touchdowns of 1, 60 and 16 yards for Wilkes (2-2, 2-0 MAC). He had 87 yards in the first half on 14 carries, and 85 more yards on seven second-half carries. A 21-7 halftime lead for the Colonels remained solid after Travis Mullen kicked a 30-yard field goal for FDU-Florham (0-4, 0-2 MAC) less than five minutes into the third quarter. Wilkes’ Andrew Regan returned the ensuing kickoff 85 yards for a score, making it 2810 and putting the game out of reach. Wilkes opened with a 12-play, 69-yard drive which was capped by Alex George’s 6-yard TD pass to Daniel Curry. George made it 14-0 with a 3-yard scoring run on the Colonels’ next possession – a nine-play, 85-yard drive. Tivald scored his first touchdown of the game five minutes later on a 1-yard run, staking Wilkes to a 21-0 lead. The teams combined for 1,200

San Francisco 49ers’ place kicker David Akers returns to Philadelphia for the first time today since being released by the team after a 12-year career with the Eagles.

Akers set for Philly return By ROB MAADDI AP Pro Football Writer

PHILADELPHIA — David Akers left his heart in Philadelphia when he went to San Francisco. The five-time Pro Bowl kicker is coming home today when the 49ers (2-1) visit the Eagles (1-2). Akers’ return to Philadelphia hasn’t received the headlines Donovan McNabb and Brian Dawkins got when they came back. But this will be a special homecoming nonetheless. “Philadelphia has been a huge blessing in my life,” Akers said. “I just can’t say enough for the organization, for the way they gave me the opportunity to make it in the NFL when so many other teams didn’t.” Akers was so thankful that he put up a billboard on I-95 near Lincoln Financial Field that read: “Thanks Philly for blessing me for 12 years and for your support on and off the field!” The green-and-white billboard above the backdrop of a football field hung for a month during the preseason. “I can’t thank those fans enough,” he said. Still, Akers, whose wife and children remain living in New Jersey, is trying

UP NEXT SAN FRANCISCO at PHILADELPHIA 1 p.m. today. FOX (WOLF-56)

to downplay his return. “I just realized from the start of the season that I’m a 49er and this is just going to be another game,” Akers said. “Obviously, I’m going to where my house is and my family is and all that. Spending 12 years there, you just can’t erase that. But it’s another game as of right now. Put the emotions away and realize that I’m no longer going to be on the sidelines where the Eagles are.” Akers didn’t choose to leave Philadelphia. The Eagles decided to go in another direction, even though Akers had perhaps his best season last year and made the Pro Bowl for the second straight year. After designating Akers as a transition player — a move that was voided by the new CBA — the Eagles drafted kicker Alex Henery in the fourth round. That signaled the end of Akers’ ca-

reer in Philly. He finished up his 12 seasons here as the best kicker in team history and one of the NFL’s all-time greatest. Akers holds the franchise record for points, field goals, extra points, games played in the regular season and in the playoffs. He was selected to the NFL’s All-Decade team for the 2000s, and Morten Andersen (seven) and Jan Stenerud (six) are the only kickers who’ve made more Pro Bowls. “Unfortunately, it’s part of this game,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said. “I have the highest regards for David Akers. You’re talking about the greatest kicker in Eagles history; really, I mean I think that’s probably a slam dunk. And the guy, he’s a great person and he did a tremendous amount in the community and I’m sure he’ll be welcomed back with open arms. When you’re together for 12 years like he and I were, then you develop a relationship there and I hold he and his wife and his family in the highest regards.” The 49ers are thrilled to have him. The 36-year-old Akers has made all seven of his extra points and all seven field goals, including long ones from 55 and 53 yards. He also has been a positive influence on his teammates.

HOUSTON — The Pittsburgh Steelers were awful in their opener at Baltimore, blew out the Seahawks and then slipped past the Colts last week. As quarterback Ben Roethlisberger put it: “We’ve been all over the board.” That has some wondering which version of the Steelers will show up for today’s game against the Houston Texans. Roethlisberger, though, doesn’t believe his team’s inconsistent start is reason for alarm. “It’s not panic,” he said. “We’re not panicked. I think you guys and the media and people and fans try and panic for us and that’s fine. We’re a veteran enough group that we don’t do that and we just talk about what we need to do and get it done.” New Orleans rallied to beat U P N E X T Houston 40-33 last week. Now the Texans are focused on mak- PITTSBURGH at ing sure they don’t repeat last HOUSTON year’s letdown when they 1 p.m. today opened 2-0, but won just four CBS (WYOU-22) games the rest of the season. “The one thing about this game, bad things are going to happen. It’s just how you respond to it,” Houston’s Andre Johnson said. “Of course, you want to go out and try to win every game. That’s everybody’s goal, but that’s hard to do ... win or lose, we’re going to come back and approach the next game with the same intensity and prepare the same and try to get better as a football team.” The biggest issue for the Steelers this week is a banged up offensive line that allowed Roethlisberger to be sacked three times last week, leading to two fumbles. Left tackle Jonathan Scott is still struggling with a left ankle injury and has missed practice this week. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin isn’t “overly concerned” with the number of hits Roethlisberger has taken so far. Still, he’d like to see what his team could do with a healthy offensive line. The quarterback seemed a bit more worried about the injuries. “You’re always concerned when you lose guys up front,” Roethlisberger said. “You like to get some cohesiveness up there. It seems like our team, we always lose linemen. It doesn’t seem like anyone else loses linemen like we do. I’m not sure why. I’ve got confidence in those guys that they’ll be able to bounce back and whoever fills will do a great job.” Scott or backup Trai Essex will face the unenviable task of holding off Mario Williams, who has excelled in his new position at outside linebacker in Wade Phillips’ 3-4 defense. Roethlisberger let out a nervous chuckle before answering when asked what he’s seen of the Williams since he moved from defensive end. “(He’s) a little different than the outside linebackers I see every day,” Roethlisberger said. “(He’s) just a freak; one of the, if not the best. It’ll be a great challenge for our tackles ... this guy’s just an absolute beast.” Houston spent the early part of the week trying to figure out how to take better advantage of its red zone opportunities. The Texans made seven trips inside the 20-yard line against the Saints and scored touchdowns on three of them. The offense met Monday to watch every play in the red zone from the first three games.

NFC West has been happy hunting grounds for Giants By BOB BAUM AP Sports Writer

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The NFC East seems to always have its way with the NFC West. The New York Giants already have one victory — over St. Louis — in the divisional matchup. They go for No. 2 when they travel to Arizona to face the inconsistent Cardinals today. The East is 4-0 against the West through three weeks of the season, and the Giants (2-1) bring momentum into today’s game after knocking off Philadelphia 2916 last weekend.

UP NEXT NEW YORK GIANTS at ARIZONA 4:05 p.m. today

Coach Tom Coughlin said beating the Eagles did boost his team’s confidence. “It was a tremendous game,” he said, “in terms of the physical nature of the game. So it did help, without a doubt.”

The game in Arizona is the first of two straight for New York against an NFC West foe. The Giants are home against Seattle Oct. 9. Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said it’s good for his division to be facing the tough teams from the East. “The NFC East is certainly a physical division and they play good football,” Whisenhunt said. “They have a lot of good teams, and the Giants have done very well in that division for a number of years. It’s going to ultimately make us a better football team. We

are going against good players, tough competition, and if our guys can continue to match up and improve and get better, and we can win some of these games, it’s going to make our team stronger.” Arizona (1-2) has come the closest of any of the NFC West teams against the East, losing at Washington 22-21, but that was followed by a 13-10 pratfall at Seattle last weekend. “There were a lot of mistakes by myself and the rest of the offense,” quarterback Kevin Kolb. “We have to clean things up.

The defense played a great game and now we need to put the whole thing together and both sides play well, along with special teams, and go get after the Giants.” The Cardinals had two good offensive games, but shaky defensive performances, followed by a strong defensive showing and bad outing by the offense. Arizona has changed its defensive scheme under new coordinator Ray Horton. “It is early but it’s time to start trying to click on all cylinders,” defensive tackle Darnell Dockett said. “

Milwaukee Brewers’ Prince Fielder is congratulated in the dugout after hitting a two-run home run during the seventh inning of Game 1 of the National League division series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday in Milwaukee.

Brewers cast shadow with opening win three starts and reached more than 200 strikeouts for the second straight season. He never made a mark in the postseason in 2008 because he need surgery and missed almost five months after tearing a ligament in his right knee. Gallardo got out of a first-inning jam thanks to Braun’s throw, then cruised until Willie Bloomquist singled in the sixth. Hairston ended that inning when he scooped up a weak grounder to third base by Justin Upton and threw him out as he tried sliding into first. In the seventh, Lyle Overbay drove a ball to deep center field where Nyjer Morgan gathered it at the warning track before slamming into the wall to end the inning. Fielder hit his second postseason home run in the seventh after Braun doubled, making it 4-0. Fielder finished 2 for 4, already topping his ’08 disappointment. “In ’08, in my mind, it was a one-game playoff every day. I felt if we lost, the series was over every time, today I was just, like I said, enjoy it. We’ve got a fivegame series,” Fielder said. The Diamondbacks decided not to walk Fielder, who had 38 homers and 120 RBIs in the regular season. “I’m not going to do that,” Kennedy said. “I just hung that curveball.”

MILWAUKEE — Yovani Gallardo could barely see the return tosses from catcher Jonathan Lucroy, losing them in the bright light filtering through the windows at Miller Park. Imagine how the Diamondbacks felt. Gallardo emerged from the shadows, outpitching Arizona ace Ian Kennedy as the Milwaukee Brewers kept winning at home with a 4-1 victory in their NL division series opener on Saturday. “It was tough for me seeing the ball coming back, just having the sun there in the background. I was just hoping Luc didn’t throw one at my face,” Gallardo, who knew the shadows would play a role late. “When you have the lead, for myself, I was just going to keep going out and be aggressive knowing little things like that.” Prince Fielder chased Kennedy with a two-out, two-run homer in the seventh inning, helping erase the stigma that the big slugger’s playoffs would be anything like 2008, when he went 1 for 14. Same, too, with Gallardo. The right-hander retired 14 of 15 during one stretch, perhaps helped by how the shadows cut across the infield. With an early start time, the sun peeked through the retractable roof all afternoon, creating a crazy, changing pattern. “I’ve played here almost two years now, so I’ve kind of gotten used to it. But I can imagine some of the guys on the other team, and the umpires, too, having problems with it,” Lucroy said. “It’s tough. It’s hitting different. Dark, light, dark coming down through the strike zone. It’s tough to see sometimes.” Gallardo gave up one run and four hits over eight innings and matched a postseason franchise record with nine strikeouts. Gallardo was only nicked by Ryan Roberts’ home run in the eighth, and won in his first postseason start since a Game 1 loss in the 2008 NLDS to Philadelphia. An All-Star in 2010, he went 1710 this season, yet is rarely mentioned among the elite pitchers in the game.

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy tags out Arizona Diamondbacks’ Willie Bloomquist at home during the first inning of Game 1 of the NLDS.

He’s even overshadowed — so to speak — on his own staff by 2009 AL Cy Young winner Zack Greinke. “He’s been great his whole career, but I think if you look at the last month, he’s really taken a step forward,” Brewers star Ryan Braun said. “He’s been dominant. I think he’s thrown the ball better the last month than I’ve seen and I’ve seen him since we were in A ball together. I’ve gotten to see him throw a lot, and he’s really taken a step forward and I put him up there with any other ace in baseball.” Game 2 is Sunday. Greinke will start for Milwaukee against Daniel Hudson. Jerry Hairston Jr., playing in place of

starter Casey McGehee, put the Brewers ahead for good in the fourth with a sacrifice fly set up by Fielder’s double. Braun, who fell just short of the NL batting title, contributed three hits. The All-Star left fielder also threw out a runner at the plate in the first inning as Milwaukee’s shaky defense was suddenly solid. John Axford pitched a perfect ninth for his first save after converting his last 43 in a row in the regular season. The Brewers started 1-0 at Miller Park after winning a major-league best 57 times at home during their run to the NL Central title. Gallardo was at his best over his final

ARLINGTON, Texas — With Texas Rangers fans chanting his name, Mike Napoli kept fouling off pitches until getting the big hit after James Shields had hit two batters. Then Tampa Bay’s starter really got wild. After Napoli’s two-run single, Shields threw a pair of wild pitches to the same batter. One of the balls in the dirt sent home the tiebreaking run in a five-run fourth inning for the Rangers in an 8-6 win Saturday night that evened the AL division series at a game apiece. The defending American League champion Rangers were finally on the board in the game — and in the series after being held to two hits in the opener by 22-year-old rookie left-hander Matt Moore and two 20-something relievers in Tampa Bay’s first-ever postseason shutout. This time, the home team finally won a postseason game between the Rangers and Rays. Game 3 in the best-of-five series is Monday in Tampa. Colby Lewis pitches for the Rangers against David Price. Texas was trailing 3-0 when Elvis Andrus was hit by a breaking pitch leading off the fourth. Josh Hamilton then singled between the shortstop and the second baseman, both positioned on the right side of the infield against the slugger. Michael Young’s sharp single to left loaded the bases. The Rangers then got their first run of the series when Shields hit Adrian Beltre with a fastball near his left knee, forcing in a run. When Shields threw three consecutive balls to Napoli, the chants of “Nap-o-li!, Nap-o-li!” began and only grew louder with each swing. Napoli swung and missed at two pitches, then fouled off three consecutive before ripping a liner to left that tied the game at 3. Manager Ron Washington pumped both fists with a shout, team president Nolan Ryan clapped in the front row nearby and those chants turned to earsplitting cheers from a towel-waving crowd of 51,351. Nelson Cruz struck out and David Murphy fell behind 0-2. What followed were a couple of foul balls and the wild pitch that allowed Beltre and Napoli to move up a base as Murphy worked to a full count. Then came a pitch that Murphy swung and missed, but the ball hit in the dirt and ricocheted away from catcher Kelly Shoppach, allowing Beltre to score. Napoli came home on Mitch Moreland’s grounder. Napoli and Cruz had consecutive singles to start the sixth and chase Shields. Kinsler sent both of them home with a double to make it 7-3. Moreland added a towering one-out homer in the eighth for the Rangers, their first long ball of the postseason and his first at home since June 21.

THE TIMES LEADER

HOWARD He didn’t hit any homers in the playoffs last year. And when the Phillies filled the bases with a chance to send the 2010 National League championship series to a Game 7, the hulking 6-foot-4, 242-pound Howard stood there sulking with the bat on his shoulders and watched strike three end the Phillies season. “You know what, I knew coming into this year that people were probably going to say whatever,” Howard said. “But I left last year in the past. “This is a completely new year.” He had the same, big, old numbers in the regular season. Howard’s 33 home runs and 116 RBI in 2011 gave him six straight seasons of 30 or more homers and 100 or more RBI, which extended his team record by another year. He also delivered some big hits in the clutch, leading the National League with 38 go-ahead RBI and 23 gamewinning RBI this season. But everyone was waiting to see what Howard would do this postseason. What the cleanup hitter for the Phillies did at Citizens Bank Park in the sixth inning Saturday was give Philadelphia big hope that things will be different this time. All it took was one big blow. “That was huge,” said Phillies Game 1 winner Roy Halladay, who surrendered a three-run homer before retiring the final 21 batters he faced in an 11-6 victory. “You’re down two (runs), it’s starting to get late in the game. One swing of the bat, you’re up.” Only Howard wasn’t done swinging. He drilled a sacrifice fly to start the scoring in a threerun seventh inning that broke the game open for the Phillies, and almost took that

Singles by Jimmy Rollins and Hunter Pence in the bottom of the fifth inning got them revved up. Then Howard rocked the place, blasting a 3-2 pitch deep over the right field wall for a three-run homer and 4-3 Philadelphia lead. Howard and the Phillies were just getting started. Victorino ripped a single to center field, then Ibanez rocketed a two-run homer to right. The Phillies padded their advantage with three more runs in the seventh inning, an uprising started when Halladay beat out an infield single. Base hits by Rollins and Utley filled the bases with nobody out,

and Howard delivered his fourth RBI of the night by lacing a sacrifice fly to right field. Victorino and Ibanez followed with runscoring singles for a 9-3 Phillies lead. Hunter Pence added a two-run single in the eighth -- after Utley’s second double of the game as the Phillies let loose with 12 hits and 10 runs over their final three at-bats to take complete command. After a shaky beginning, Halladay regained the control that led him to a 19-6 record with a 2.35 ERA this season. He was touched for a single by Rafael Furcal to open the game and issued a one-out walk to Albert Pujols in the first inning. Then Berkman launched a bomb, jolting a three-run homer to right that sent Halladay into a rage. "He was kind of like a Rocky

movie. He got mad after he gave up the homer," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "Ticked him off." "Yeah, I was upset," Halladay said. "You have your moment of frustration and you’ve got to move on." The Cardinals appeared prepared to move Halladay out of the way when Skip Schumaker’s hard single opened the Cardinals second inning. Then the Phillies righthander started mowing them down. He got help from Howard, who made a diving play at first base on a hard grounder by John Jay to prevent more danger. Then Halladay became as masterful as he was when he pitched a no-hitter for the Phillies against the Cincinnati Reds on the first day of the 2010 NLDS. Halladay cooly set down the

seven consecutive innings’ worth of Cardinals, striking out eight Cardinals along the way before departing with an 11-3 lead after the eighth inning. No ball left the infield during that stretch. "Couldn’t think of a worse start, really, putting your team in a hole like that," Halladay said of the early homer he surrendered. "But you get to this point, you’re not going to pack it in." The Cardinals didn’t quit, either. They tagged Phillies reliever Michael Stutes for three runs in the top of the ninth, using Schumaker’s two-run double off closer Ryan Madson to pull within five runs. But Madson finished the job with two game-ending strikeouts, giving the Phillies a fast series lead. "You have to protect homefield advantage," Howard said

pitch out of the park for a grand slam. But the most impressive part about both his RBI atbats wasn’t the end result, but the way Howard accomplished it. He fouled off a couple tough changeups from Cardinals starting pitcher Kyle Lohse -- who wasn’t giving the Phillies anything through most of the first five innings -- to get to a 3-and-2 count. Howard also battled off some nasty fastballs from hardthrowing St. Louis reliever Mitchell Boggs before driving his sacrifice fly in the seventh. “I felt like Ryan Howard’s at-bats were similar to when he’s hitting the ball real good,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. Especially when Howard is giving the Phillies the lead by sending a ball over the wall. “Howard’s home run was big,” Manuel said. As big as the expectations of the Phillies to win the World Series. As big as the doubts about him, being knocked off his back and straight out of the park. Paul Sokoloski is a columnist for The Times Leader. Reach him at psokoloski@timesleader.com.

leading contenders for AL MVP — and he showed why. Yankees manager Joe Girardi moved the slugger up from fifth to third in the lineup for the playoffs to get him more protection and pitches to hit. Good move. Cano added a run-scoring double in the eighth to tie a club record for RBIs in a postseason game. His seventh career postseason homer was the 11th slam in Yankees postseason history and the first since Ricky Ledee connected in the 1999 AL championship series against Boston. “I wasn’t looking for a home run, just looking for a

pitch I can make good contact and at least get one RBI,” Cano said. “It ended up being a grand slam.”

HORSE RACING

Flat Out, Uncle Mo win at Belmont The Associated Press

NEW YORK — In just over an hour at Belmont Park, the Breeders’ Cup Classic likely came away with its three favorites. Take your pick — Havre de Grace, Uncle Mo or Flat Out. Each staked a claim as the horse to beat in the $5 million Classic at Churchill Downs on Nov. 5 with stirring victories on a Super Saturday of racing over a muddy track. “We’re going to be there and try them,” elated 70year-old trainer Scooter Dickey said after Flat Out won the $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup by 21⁄4 lengths over 2010 Belmont Stakes winner Drosselmeyer, with Travers winner Stay Thirsty third. “This is tremendous, It’s hard to fathom, but I like it.” In the previous race, the 4-year-old filly Havre de

Grace left four rivals in the slop with an 81⁄4-length romp in the $350,000 Beldame Stakes to remain a leading contender for Horse of the Year. “She has the speed to match up with them,” trainer Larry Jones said of Havre de Grace, who beat the boys — Flat Out included — in the Woodward at Saratoga on Sept. 3. “I’m sure we’ll see Uncle Mo in there, too.” Yes we will. Uncle Mo led from the start, held off a brief challenge from Jackson Bend, and won the $200,000 Kelso Handicap by three lengths to trumpet his return to the big time. Uncle Mo, last year’s 2-year-old champion, was sidelined for 41⁄2 months with a life-threatening liver disease and missed the Triple Crown races. He returned in August and was beaten by a nose in the King’s Bishop.

NASCAR

Chase-leader Stewart digs a hole in Dover By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

DOVER, Del. — Tony Stewart needs a tremendous rally at Dover to keep his perfect Chase season alive. Stewart’s No. 14 Chevrolet has not performed like the car that romped to victories in the first two races in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He was horrible at practice and that carried over into Saturday’s qualifying, where he turned a lap of 156.760 mph and will start the third Chase race 27 spots behind polesitter Martin Truex Jr. Stewart’s two wins have only given him a seven-point cushion over Kevin Harvick entering today’s race. With four Chase drivers starting in the top six at the concrete mile, this could be the race where the standings get rattled. Stewart had little explanation for his struggles, other than saying his car was tight.

History shows all is not lost for Smoke. He started 27th in the second Dover race in 2000 and won. In the first Stewart Dover race in 2009, he finished second after starting 31st. If any driver knows how to work his way through traffic, it’s Stewart. He could run into Truex leading the way. Truex returned to the site of his only career Cup win and turned a lap of 159.004 mph to win the pole at Dover International Speedway. He crashed the Chase party with his first pole of the season. He won

his only career Cup race in 2007 at the Monster Mile. “I love this place,” Truex said. “I feel like I understand what it takes to get around this place. I’ve just been fortunate enough to have good race cars here.” Truex, of nearby Mayetta, N.J., has long considered Dover his home track. Truex, 18th in the points standings, has two of his six career poles at Dover. Chase driver Kurt Busch was second. Paul Menard was third. Chase drivers Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson took the next three spots. Like Stewart, four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon also struggled during qualifying and starts 34th.

Denny Hamlin, all but out of contention, starts 11th. Brad Keselowski was 15th, Matt Kenseth 18th, Ryan Newman 20th, Dale Earnhardt Jr. 21st, and Harvick starts 22nd. Round 3 of the Chase promises to create some separation among the Chase contenders and the pretenders. Gordon is in fifth place and a manageable 23 points behind Stewart. His poor start might not help him move up the standings. Kurt Busch is 28 points out in ninth place. He’s counting on his strong qualifying start to serve as a preview for what’s ahead in the 400-mile race. “We definitely look at where the Chase guys qualify,” Busch said.

Edwards wins Nationwide race DOVER, Del. — Carl Edwards dominated again at Dover International Speedway, winning his seventh race of the season in the Nationwide Series. Edwards celebrated Saturday with his traditional back flip, then jumped into the stands to celebrate with fans. Edwards said before the race his Sprint Cup car was better than the No. 60 in the second-tier series. He could use another win to strengthen his push toward his first career Cup championship.

“You race your own race and let it pan out. You can’t worry too early on in the race. Once you get to the final two pits stops, that’s when you’re looking at the other Chase guys.” Truex hopes the Chase drivers are in his rearview mirror over the final laps, giving him something to feel good about in a mostly lost season. Truex, who has only eight

top-10s this year, hasn’t built off the promise he showed in 2007 when he won a race, posted 14 top-10s and made the Chase. He hasn’t finished better than 15th in the standings the last three years. But if can take the checkered flag for Michael Waltrip Racing at any race this season, Truex is at the right track.

BULLETIN BOARD STATE GAME LANDS 13 AND 57, located in Sullivan, Luzerne and Wyoming counties, experienced significant damage caused by recent flooding. Road damage to several roads that are normally open to public travel during hunting season have been affected. The Game Commission is working to open as many miles of roads as possible to maximize hunter access in the upcoming season. Most roads have been affected to some degree and hunters should travel with caution. The following is a summary of roads that are open, those that are open but modified, and those that will be closed until further notice. Any projected road openings are subject to change based on conditions. State Game Lands 13 – Sullivan County – Roads currently open include Masonite, Flynn, Old Berwick Turnpike, Hottenstien, Cherry Ridge and Grassy Hollow to just below Lewis Falls. Newell Road is open from the parking lot near SR 487 for 2.2 miles to just past Open Run. Fishing Creek Road in Davidson Township is closed until further notice. State Game Lands 57 – Wyoming/Luzerne counties – Mountain Spring Road/Railroad Grade Road is open for 9 miles from SR 487 to Beth Run. That portion of Railroad Grade Road from Beth Run to Noxen is closed until further notice. Cider Run Road is closed until further notice. THE PUBLIC TOUR OF STATE GAME LANDS 57 in Luzerne and Wyoming counties, scheduled for Oct. 9, has been canceled due to damage caused by recent flooding. THE COLUMBIA COUNTY CHAPTER OF TROUT UNLIMITED will host a presentation by David Sewalk, TU’s Pennsylvania Marcellus Shale Field Organizer, on Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Ag Center, 702 Sawmill Road in Bloomsburg.

Council Cup perfect spot to monitor birds of prey

Flight of the raptor Typical migration periods

By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

Each time Don Kapral tried to take a bite of his apple turnover, he was interrupted. Perched atop the cliffs at Council Cup, Kapral was on the lookout for migrating raptors Friday. A gusty wind and cloudy sky made for perfect conditions to spot the soaring birds, but left little time to eat. “There was a flurry as soon as I got here,” Kapral said. “It’s really hopping today.” Like miniature airplanes soaring through the sky, a variety of raptors quietly appeared over the tree line and sailed high above the cliff. American kestrels, Cooper’s hawks, bald eagles, broad-winged hawks, sharpshinned hawks, turkey vultures and even Monarch butterflies all sailed overhead throughout the day. Kapral said he spends about 125 hours each fall at Council Cup, counting the migrating raptors. His results are listed on www.hawkcount.org. “This is my sixth year doing this and you can really see some trends -- increases and decreases in some species,” Kapral said. “When the conditions are right here, this place can rival Hawk Mountain on some days.” It’s somewhat of a mystery what makes thousands of raptors and vultures fly past Council Cup each fall as they migrate south for the winter. Is it instinct that tells the birds it’s time to leave? Could it be the changing weather as summer transitions into fall? Or a lack of food as conditions turn colder? Whatever the reason, the fall migration

Game and Fisheries Committee.

The change was approved by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission board during its quarterly meeting last week. It applies to the period from Nov. 1 to April 30, and the change is intended to protect boaters from the dangers of coldwater shock if they fall into the water. “While boating accidents are more frequent during the traditional summer season, the risk of an accident being fatal is significantly higher when the air and water temperatures are colder in late fall through spring,” said Laurel Anders, director of the Bureau of Boating and Access. “Over the last 15 years, cold-water incidents represented only eight percent of boatingrelated accidents, but resulted in 24 percent of the fatalities.” PFBC commissioner Norm Gavlick, Kingston, voted for the measure and said he supported it from the early stages. An avid boater himself, Gavlick said he has experienced a few close calls with cold water. “When you’re drifting in the river and you hit something, you can lose your balance in a split second,” Gavlick said. “I’ve seen how easy it can happen.” The new law isn’t limited to just anglers. Recreational boaters and waterfowl hunters will also have to don

life jackets as well. Gavlick said there are models of life jackets available that don’t restrict movement and won’t interfere with being able to hunt or fish. “One statistic we were given on these coldwater accidents in regards to hunters is there were two instances where the boat was anchored and the hunting dogs went to jump out and capsized the boat,” Gavlick said. “There’s really no excuse not to wear a life jacket during the cold water period.” New boat launch Gavlick said the first phase of the Shickshinny boat launch construction project – land acquisition -- is completed, and work on the launch, parking lot and access road should begin soon. The grant to perform the construction has been approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Gavlick said. The work consists of a new singlelane boat launch on the river at Crary Park, which will either be concrete or paved. A gravel access road and parking lot will also be installed. The boat launch will provide another access point to the river in a stretch that is popular with anglers along with canoes and kayaks. The nearest launches right now are in Hunlock Creek to the north and Berwick to the south.

he hand-blown panes of glass in the milk house window were smudged with decades of dirt. Flecks of white paint clung to the wood surrounding the panes, and each one contained the imperfections common with blown glass - the way it was made more than 100 years ago. Attached to the milk house is an old dairy barn, small by today’s standards but still standing strong and true. The wooden stanchions inside - 12 in all -no longer hold dairy cows. It’s probably been 50 years since livestock of any kind stood inside the barn. But while the barn and it’s milk house are abandoned and forgotten, the structure does offer something that often goes overlooked by today’s fastpaced society that seldom slows down to appreciate it. A view. I noticed it years ago while hunting rabbits in the grown up fields surrounding the barn. Rain began falling and I sought refuge inside the milk house. Standing on the concrete floor, the structure was bare and empty. Against one wall was a concrete-lined ditch that used to hold full milk cans. A spring that had since dried up used to provide a flow of cold water through the ditch to keep the milk cans cool. On another wall was the window, four panes in all, and it provided a view like no other. I wiped the dirt off one of the panes until I could see the narrow dirt road in front of the barn. On the other side was a small valley with a large pond at its base. Fields climbed the mountain above the valley, and stands of enormous evergreens and oaks guarded the top. Beneath the trees, I could make out a pattern of stone walls that crisscrossed the mountainside, culminating at a perfect square of large, chiseled stones that served as the foundation for another barn that vanished from the landscape decades ago. No doubt the view that I so appreciated was much different to the farmer that stood in this very milk house long ago. Back then the fields flanking the mountainside were green, dotted with cows and lined with crops. And the stone foundation held a barn probably much like this one. I spent a lot of time on the mountain that I now viewed from the milk house window. The shady forest floor beneath the evergreens was a haven for grouse and turkeys. At the very top I once sat at the base of an enormous red oak and watched quietly as a decent-sized black bear passed nearby. In the grown-up fields my father and I, along with our beagle, Randy, spent many winter days chasing rabbits. It’s been some time since I stopped at the milk house to enjoy the view again. Recently, however, I had the opportunity to travel the dirt road that meanders in front of the barn and I took time to soak in the view from the milk house window. And this time it had changed again. The fields along the mountainside were split by a wide road made of coarse, jagged stone. It led to the top, but the stands of enormous evergreens and oaks were no more. The top of the mountain had been clear-cut to make way for a Marcellus shale well pad, as indicated by a white sign placed at the entrance of the road. Large trucks hauling equipment used the road to access the once-quiet mountaintop, and the recently-cut had fallen in a zig-zag pattern, smothering the stone walls and old barn foundation. Perhaps one day trees will grow again at the top of the mountain and the solitude will return. But for now, the mountain as I knew it is gone, and so is the view from the milk house window.

PENGUINS HOCKEY

Munroe sharp in goal despite rust TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

HERSHEY – The last time goaltender Scott Munroe played an entire hockey game was Feb. 18 in the Kontinental Hockey League in Russia. Since then, Munroe played only one period in the preseason – stopping all six shots he faced during Pittsburgh’s second preseason game against Chicago. That was on Sept. 22 – nine days ago, so it’s understandable that Munroe was thankful to play a full 60 minutes during the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 2-1 win over the Hershey Bears on Saturday. “It’s been a while and it was nice to get a full one in and get the legs under me,” Munroe said. “I welcome the work.” Munroe anchored a Penguins lineup that featured few regulars and stopped 34 of the 35 shots he faced. He was also pivotal in the Penguins being able to kill off all seven Hershey power plays they faced on the night. The feat was even more significant considering the Bears dressed several of their top players, including Keith Aucoin and Graham Mink. “Last night at our place, they didn’t have too many of their big guys in,” Munroe said. “I expected they’d have a

few in the lineup tonight.” After allowing an early goal to Hershey in the first two minutes of the game, Munroe was stellar the rest of the way. During a second period that featured several Hershey power plays, Munroe came up big to keep the Bears off the board, including a save on Aucoin who was alone in the slot. In the third period, Munroe stifled the Bears offense again, including several key saves to protect a one-goal lead during a Hershey power play in the last two minutes of the game. Not a bad start for a veteran AHL goaltender who hasn’t played a full game in months, starting behind a lineup of new faces. “It’s always a challenge when you have new faces and guys learning the system. You can see it out there – the passes aren’t quite there yet,” Munroe said. “You come to expect that. It’s just time to iron out the kinks and see who wants to play and step up.” Head coach John Hynes said Munroe was brought in because of his maturity and AHL credentials – 184 games in five seasons. Although last season’s AHL Goaltender of the Year Brad Thiessen is the obvious starter in net for the Penguins, Hynes said Munroe

will get the chance to compete for ice time, much like Thiessen and John Curry did last season. “We’re really looking for another competitive situation,” Hynes said. “Right now, both guys are competing for minutes and they both have played well.” NOTES • The Penguins are now 2-1 in the preseason after sweeping a two-game set against Hershey. The final exhibition game is tonight at the Mohegan Sun Arena against Adirondack. The puck drops at 5:05 p.m. • Ben Street scored a third period goal to tie things up for the Penguins, and Brian Gibbons tallied the game-winner with less than four minutes left. It was Gibbons’ second goal in two preseason games. • Zach Sill was assessed a match penalty for elbowing in the second period. Hynes reviewed the play after the game and said Sill was finishing his hit. He doesn’t expect a suspension. • Keven Veilleux, who left Friday’s game with an injury, didn’t play on Saturday. Hynes said he will see a doctor on Monday and until then he won’t know the extent of the injury.

Veteran Johnson answers call of Wild By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

Nick Johnson didn’t lose any sleep worrying if he would be claimed off waivers before last Thursday’s deadline. He spent the morning in his Pittsburgh hotel room, where he took a nap before making the planned drive back to WilkesBarre. “I wasn’t expecting anything. I spoke to my agent and the chances I would be claimed were zero,” said Johnson, a right wing. “I put it totally out of my mind.” And then his phone rang. All of a sudden, Johnson’s planned trip to Wilkes-Barre was diverted to Minnesota to join the Wild’s NHL camp. Just one day after Pittsburgh decided Johnson, 25, should start the season in the AHL, he was getting a second NHL shot. And this one looks pretty good. “I have a great opportunity and

I’m definitely excited,” Johnson said. “They (Minnesota) want me to play a third line game.” Johnson was Pittsburgh’s third round pick in 2004 and joined Wilkes-Barre/Scranton at the end of the 2007-08 season. He went on play three seasons with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, evolving into a 20-goal scorer and a power forward. Along the way Johnson had two brief stops in Pittsburgh, posting two goals and five points in 10 games. “I know they (Pittsburgh) though I could play in the NHL and do well,” Johnson said. “But they have a lot of veteran guys who are proven and embedded in the locker room. To take one out is a pretty tall task.” In Minnesota, Johnson’s NHL prospects are bright. He comes to an organization led by two people – head coach Mike Yeo and general manager Chuck Fletcher, who have roots in the Pittsburgh orga-

nization. And the team itself, Johnson said, has many of the same elements of play as the Penguins. “The mentality is similar. It’s a very detail-oriented game. Constant skating and making it hard for teams to play in your own end,” he said. “But I came here with the mentality that I still have to make this team. I still have to work hard.” If Johnson did start the season in Wilkes-Barre, he would’ve become the longest tenured WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguin this year. He looks back to his years in Wilkes-Barre fondly and said his time there helped to develop his game. “I had a blast playing at the arena and I really enjoyed my teammates and the fans,” Johnson said. “The city really supports the team and I had a blast. I was happy to be a part of WilkesBarre.”

NHL PRESEASON

Clarkson snaps tie, lifts Devils over Philadelphia NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — David Clarkson’s power-play goal with 4:21 left in the second period, snapped a tie and lifted the New Jersey Devils to a 2-1 preseason victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night. Petr Sykora added his second goal of the preseason, strengthening his chances of making the team. Sykora scored on a

breakaway off a pass from Zach Parise that got by three Flyers at 4:12 of the second. The Flyers took a 1-0 lead on Scott Hartnell’s power-play goal with 3:31 left in the first. Philadelphia used with few regulars, but Ilya Bryzgalov played the entire game and made 18 saves. Bruins 3, Islanders 2 BRIDGEPORT, Conn. —

Dennis Seidenberg scored with 8:07 remaining, and the Boston Bruins rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat the New York Islanders 3-2 on Saturday night in the teams’ final preseason game. Tim Thomas played the full game and made 25 saves for Boston, including a stick stop of Frans Nielsen’s bad-angle shot during a late power play.

Looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. A nice ridge of high pressure will be setting up next week to bring us some dry weather and sunshine; we just have to get through the next few days first. It will be a chilly morning with lows around 43. Remember to grab your raincoat since the possibility of a shower is likely. We will warm up to 61, and the chance of a thunderstorm is possible later in the day. Monday will bring showers with mostly cloudy skies and some drizzle with a high of 60 and a low of 45. On Tuesday, things will slowly start to turn around. We will have a few morning and afternoon stray showers but should turn partly sunny with a high of 63 and a low of 45. - Michelle Rotella

FX head pushing network to new highs

By JOE FLINT Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — When John Landgraf joined FX as head of entertainment, he smugly figured he’d landed in the catbird seat. After all, the News Corp.-owned cable network had two hit dramas on the air and a hot prospect about to premiere. It quickly dawned on him

that he could easily fall on his face. “I’m the schmuck who’s supposed to replace ‘The Shield,’ ‘Nip/Tuck’ and ‘Rescue Me,’ ” Landgraf recalled thinking when he was hired in January 2004. Not only was Landgraf going to have to develop FX’s next set of hits, he was also going to have to find a way to make money from them.

Tax plans leave out smallest

Although the shows he inherited delivered solid ratings and were adored by critics, they were very expensive. The costs kept rising the longer they were on the air, as cast and crew demanded bigger raises. But because FX bought rights to these series from other producers rather than owning them, the network did not participate in rerun or DVD

sales. Therefore FX didn’t have much leverage when it came to negotiating deals to keep the shows on its network. “You’ve got to figure out how to pay for it,” said Landgraf, who devised a way to change that equation to his network’s financial advantage. He created FX Productions, an inhouse unit that now produces or co-produces seven FX

shows, meaning the company shares in any profits and has more control over costs. Landgraf, who has since been promoted to president and general manager, appears to be sitting pretty. He has shepherded new and more financially sound shows including the gritty drama “Sons of See FX, Page 2D

Forecaster signals holiday retail caution

By KEVIN G. HALL McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration and Republicans each want a broad overhaul of the tax system to close loopholes and lower corporate rates, but small businesses that do much of the nation’s hiring feel they’re an afterthought in the debate. “A lot of the conversation is dominated by topics that are really a focus of larger businesses,” said Kristie Arslan, president of the National Association for the Self-Employed. By government definition, a small business is one with fewer than 500 employees. To most Americans, however, the image of a small business is the self-employed contractor, a family restaurant or a mom-and-pop shop in a strip mall. Statistics suggest that 78 percent of small businesses have 10 employees or fewer. These businesses rarely can take advantage of tax breaks for how they write off equipment purchases, or even the payroll tax holidays being proposed in the president’s recent jobs plan. Their tax needs are often more basic and not addressed in either Democratic or Republican plans. “It’s inexpensive, or relatively inexpensive, small fixes that could be done in the tax code that could really have a profound effect,” said Arslan, noting that more than half of all small businesses are homebased firms. The group — which counts more than 200,000 members — wants a standard tax deduction for a home office. The qualifications for claiming such a deduction wouldn’t change from the present system, but the self-employed could opt to take a standard $1,200 or $1,500 deduction instead of having to itemize and keep receipts. The association also seeks a change to allow the self-employed to deduct fully their health care costs. Employers who hire workers are able to deduct from taxes what they spend on employee health care, and the employee is not taxed on the health care offered by their employer. The selfemployed get no such break.

There’s a $1 off four cans coupon that makes the deal $1 per can. Or you can take your coupon to a local Shur Save market where Progresso reduced sodium or light soup cans are buy-one, get-one free. • Shur Save markets also has Totino’s pizza rolls or individual pizzas on sale five for $5 but you must buy five. There are $1 off coupons good on both products in today’s inserts. CVS and Rite Aid are battling it out this week for the title of stores with the

best coupon-inspired deals. Here’s a look at some of the better ones at the pharmacy chains: • CVS has Puff’s tissues on sale for 99 cents a box. Use the $1 off six boxes coupon to get six for $4.94. • CVS also has Colgate Total Advanced or Total Whitening toothpaste on a buy-one, get-one free sale. Use the $1 off two tubes coupon to get two items for $1 less than the typical cost of one. • Both CVS and Rite Aid have two four-packs of Starbucks Frappuccino bottles or two 12-packs of Lipton iced tea on sale for $10. There’s a $2 off two packs coupon for each product that means you will pay just $1 per bottle for the coffee drinks or about 33 cents per bottle for the tea. • Double coupon alert! At Rite Aid, clip the store coupon on the front page

of the Rite Aid circular for $2 off Clairol Nice N’ Easy hair color. Then clip the $2 off coupon found in the P & G Brand Saver coupon booklet to pay just $3.99 for the product. • Rite Aid also has all CoverGirl brand cosmetics on a buy-one, get-one half-off sale. That’s a nice incentive on its own. But throw in the $8 off any two CoverGirl facial makeup coupon and you may walk out with two products for next to nothing. • Make sure you bring your Rite-Aid Wellness + Rewards card when you visit the store.

redicting the pace of holiday sales is one of those insider parlor games that hits the spotlight this time of year, only because American Idol is over, the Super Bowl is far off and we’re all sick of talking about the weather. Judging by their accuracy in recent years, economics experts might do better forecasting temperature and precipitation than how wide consumers will open their pocketbooks in November and December. But that inconsistency only means it’s more of a challenge for prognosticators like Anthony Liuzzo to gaze into their crystal snow globes and come up with a guesstimate. How hard is it to be right, or even close? In 2009 Liuzzo, a professor of business and economics and director of the MBA program at Wilkes University, predicted that sales would rise just 2 percent, after falling 2.8 percent the prior year. Sales finished up 3.6 percent. Last year, with memories of the Great Recession lingering, he predicted a meager 1.5 percent gain, but again was surprised — as was nearly every other forecaster — that sales rose 4.4 percent. The figures, by the way, are for sales at stores open at least a year, considered the most accurate measure of retail spending. What happened? “Last year I thought I was being optimistic,” Liuzzo said. What he missed was, “there was so much pent up demand.” I don’t know if it’s in reaction to missing low the last two years, but for 2011 Liuzzo is predicting a 3.5 percent gain. Well, he was predicting that when he drew up his forecast on Sept. 6. “With the data that has come out since it would probably go to the low 3s, closer to 3 than 3.5,” he said on Friday. That puts Liuzzo in the middle of the pack compared to other forecasters, whose predictions for sales growth range from 2.2 percent to 3.5 percent. But while those seem reasonably optimistic, that kind of increase could turn out to be flat or even a slight decline in real terms. That’s because inflation, which is running about 3 percent, is not factored in, and this year’s Thanksgiving to Christmas shopping season is 30 days long and includes five Saturdays. That difference alone could account for 3 percent more sales compared to last year. All of this leads to the conclusion that their will be little magic for retailers in the 2011 holiday season. Liuzzo thinks the stores are prepared for that. “I think the retailers are ready this year, not overly optimistic or pessimistic,” he said. That means shoppers who tarry may find less selection as Christmas approaches. Still, many of them may wait; sales the week between Christmas and New Year’s now account for about 10 percent of all holiday business, he says, as some shoppers wait for after-holiday bargains and others cash in gift cards. Liuzzo has consistently been a believer in the resilience of American shoppers, but acknowledges that a new frugality will hurt sales this year. “We’re behaving in a much more fiscally responsible way,” which hurts in short run but is good in the long run, he said. That makes consumers something like Washington politicians right now — emphasizing thrift at a time when spending could give the economy a needed boost. Of course, if we embraced that philosophy we’d need to change direction and become more frugal in good times, socking away our acorns for a long winter that inevitably arrives. Good luck with that, on both individual and national levels.

Mortgage modifications fall short of expectations By KEVIN G. HALL McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Jose Palomo was surprised when the knock on the door came in August, informing him that his California home had been foreclosed and he’d need to vacate promptly. After all, he’d recently started payments on an in-house mortgage modification with CitiMortage Inc. “I was speechless, didn’t know what to say. What’s going on? Why? They got our hopes high saying we got approved; everything was going to go through,”

“If we just leveled the playing field ... you would boost their bottom line at the end of the day,” said Arslan. The National Federation of Independent Business’s chief economist, William Dunkelberg, said the ongoing debate over taxing earners reporting more than $200,000 of taxable income is weighing on small business owners, many of whom claim their business income when filing

tomers. “We wanted to provide our Shickshinny Wells Fargo customers with banking services as quickly as we could after the flood waters subsided,” said Greg Collins, Wells Fargo’s Northeast Pennsylvania community banking president who’s based in Kingston. “This ATM traveled here from North Carolina and is being well received. It will stay in Shickshinny until we complete the necessary repairs at 2 West Union Street.” Collins said 7 ½ feet of water filled the bank’s lobby and even seeped into the vault damaging contents in safe deposit boxes.

recalled Palomo, 23, a car salesman fighting to keep his small home in Riverside, Calif. Palomo’s plight illustrates why housing remains such a drag against U.S. economic recovery. He’s fighting to keep a 738-square-foot home that today is worth less than $85,000. He was given a mortgage modification where he’ll owe about twice that amount — illustrating how such modifications often fail to solve the problem they’re designed to fix. Simply put, mortgage modifications aren’t cleaning up the housing-finance mess. And to top it off, even as he be-

gan making payments on his still too-high mortgage, Palomo still faced losing his home — underscoring lenders’ relentless pursuit of foreclosure proceedings four years after the housing-market bust. Today there are at least 4.2 million homeowners who, like Palomo, are late on their mortgage payments or somewhere in the delinquency and foreclosure process. The first wave of foreclosures came during the 2008 financial crisis as subprime mortgages given to weak borrowers imploded. Now the subsequent economic downturn and high

unemployment keep housing depressed. The administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama both offered incentives for lenders to help homeowners modify their mortgages. Those efforts haven’t achieved much. From December 2009 through June, more than 1.6 million government-backed mortgage modifications had been started, but only 791,000 became permanent. These numbers remain well below the goal of 4 million modifications that the Obama administration set for itself.

their personal income taxes. “What are my tax rates three months from now? That would be nice to know. There is no certainty about anything. This is what they’re unhappy about,” said Dunkelberg. The National Restaurant Association shares that concern. There are more than 1 million restaurants nationwide, and about 93 percent of them are considered small businesses. The group wants Congress to adopt a permanent and simpler tax policy for writing off equipment purchases, over a period of 15 years or less. That period has been ap-

proved as a temporary measure, but absent renewal, the time frame could revert back to an antiquated 40-year-long tax writeoff. “If you know that the tax laws you are dealing with only apply for nine or 12 months, but your investment schedule is three to five years, or seven to10 years, it’s hard to make the larger, sustained investment,” said Scott DeFife, the group’s executive vice president and head of government affairs. (For now, much of the tax-overhaul debate focuses on issues such as whether corporations should be allowed to

bring home foreign earnings at reduced tax rates, or if the energy sector should lose tax breaks. Small firms are lost in the mix. “Somehow it is OK to take a hit (on mounting deficits) on tax provisions that benefit larger corporations,” said Arslan, adding that “the word ‘small business’ is the card that’s always pulled out when there is a talking point on the economy ... but a lot of policy out there does not help mainstream businesses. We should be looking at shoring up mom-andpop businesses, because if you look at them as a whole, they are Main Street America.”

Thanks to one of her main distributors, Natural Animal Nutrition, of Edgewood, Md., a Penske rental truck was set up in the plaza’s parking lot so Bartlett can continue selling products while the store is being gutted and rebuilt. He said with borough residents already dealing with damage and recovery, forcing them to go without a local bank or to travel about 15 miles to the next closest Wells Fargo branch in Plymouth would have been unfair. While there are multiple banking options in the Wyoming Valley, the same can’t be said for some organic pet food lines. Village Pet Supplies, in the Dundee Plaza on the Sans Souci Parkway in Hanover Township,

sustained 6 feet of water in its store. Most merchandise was removed before the floodwaters entered, according to owner Brenda Bartlett, but thousands of dollars in merchandise, shelving and equipment was lost. The store, open for nearly nine years, sells healthy, holistic, organic and all-natural pet foods. Many of the brands’ full lines are not available anywhere else locally. The closest retailers that sell full lines of the products are in Bloomsburg, Al-

lentown and Montrose. Bartlett said knowing how hard it is for some animals to switch foods – and some animals, because of health issues, need specific brands – she knew she had to continue making brands such as Verus, Precise, Orijen and Acana available. Thanks to one of her main distributors, Natural Animal Nutrition, of Edgewood, Md., a Penske rental truck was set up in the plaza’s parking lot so Bartlett can continue selling products while the store is being gutted and rebuilt. “I was desperately upset,” she said.

OFFICE COACH

‘Manage up’ before boss becomes an enemy By MARIE G. MCINTYRE McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q: My boss, “Jerry,” keeps trying to reduce his workload by giving me assignments that he should do himself. He also fails to follow up on important issues, which often leads to a crisis. When this happens, Jerry tends to fabricate facts and blame others, including me. I have never complained about Jerry’s management style, but I suspect he knows how I feel about him. On my last performance review, he rated me “satisfactory” in areas where I had previously been “outstanding.” Since then, I’ve been keeping meticulous records to protect myself. After 17 years with this company, I have no intention of leaving. I’m sure Jerry’s incompetence will catch up with him eventually, but until that happens, how can I preserve my career? Talking to upper management is not an option, because Jerry is good friends with the executives. A: Having a difficult boss who is well-connected creates a challenging set of circumstances. Since there is little hope of changing Jerry and apparently no avenue of appeal, your only remaining choice is to start “managing up” in a politically intelligent manner. Assuming that your job performance hasn’t deteriorated, the declining appraisal rating is a clear sign that Jerry is not happy with you. He may be a self-protecting slacker, but he can still affect your career and reputation, so you need to repair this relationship. First, you must simply accept the unpleasant fact that you are stuck with a bad boss. Instead of becoming annoyed whenever Jerry screws up, stop expecting him to be any better than he is.

Lowering your expectations may help you feel less irritated. Despite your low personal regard for Jerry, you still need to show respect for his position. Managers are highly sensitive to any sign of disrespect, so watch your nonverbal behavior. If you roll your eyes or speak in a condescending tone, Jerry will undoubtedly notice and take offense. Since you say that Jerry is aware of your feelings, you must have conveyed contempt during your interactions with him. To send a more positive message, try to be consistently pleasant, cooperative and helpful. This may actually improve your performance rating. Finally, to increase your own leverage, develop as many allies as possible. Having higher-level managers in your network can be especially useful. The more people who know and admire you, the safer your job will be. Q: My uncle’s wife has been sending insulting and hurtful emails to everyone in our family. I believe she sends these emails from work, so I want to teach her a lesson by telling her supervisor. Can you advise me on how to approach this professionally? A: You can approach this professionally by not doing it at all. This is a personal family matter, so involving your aunt’s supervisor is completely inappropriate. Instead, instruct your email program to direct all correspondence from your aunt to the “junk email” folder. That way, you can avoid both the nasty messages and the unnecessary drama. Marie G.

MarketPulse CAN’T BEAR IT The S&P 500 fell 15 percent between April 29 and Thursday, but it’s still not a bear market yet. That would mean a 20 percent drop. But if we’re on the way to one, investors may need to prepare for months more of declines. After looking at every bear market since 1946, Standard & Poor’s Equity Research found it takes an average of 14 months for one to hit bottom. We are only five months into this decline. The longest bear market took 31 month. It came after the tech bubble burst in 2000 and lasted until 2002. Even after the index hits the 20 percent mark, it keeps falling for an average of nine months more.

NO TAXIS? BUY CASINOS It’s tougher to find an available taxi in Las Vegas. That’s an encouraging sign for any investor in casino stocks. FBR Capital Markets analysts say taxi figures are a good indicator for business conditions in Vegas. They actually have a stronger correlation with casinos’ gambling revenue than even the number of visitors to Las Vegas. That’s because people who ride in taxis are likely ones who fly into Vegas, rather than drive. They tend to spend more. August’s taxi trip growth was slower than July’s, but the FBR analysts say it is still encouraging because it’s growing rather than shrinking.

AH, YOUTH Smaller and younger is better, at least when it comes to hedge funds. That's what research firm PerTrac found when it studied how the size and age of a hedge fund related to its performance. Funds with less than $100 million in assets under management and funds that were less than two years old had better returns than older and larger ones. The reason could be that smaller hedge funds attract less notice when they purchase stocks, so they can more deftly adjust their portfolios. And younger hedge funds tend to have lower overhead and use more up-to-date technology. That lets them streamline their operations.

Chip Cutter, Kristen Girard • AP

Number crunching Sudhir Nanda cares about the numbers. He is head of equity quantitative research at T. Rowe Price, which means he screens for stocks by looking at their price relative to their earnings. He also considers their book value, which is what accountants say the company is worth if it shut down. He studies their return on equity, which is a company’s profits divided by how much shareholders have invested in it. Nanda runs T. Rowe Price’s Diversified Small-Cap Growth fund.

Behind the wheel at Ford

InsiderQ&A

Is it frustrating to see everything falling in unison regardless of their numbers? We try to ignore shortterm volatility and shortterm correlation spikes. I think companies that are announcing bad earnings, they do underperform. In the short term, it may not matter. But over time, a company that is producing earnings, increasing cash flow, should outperform. If you look at the history of the market, there have been very few times where (buying stocks that look like good values) has not been rewarded over long periods of time.

Nanda

To find good values, what do you look at first, a stock’s price relative to its earnings? Typically, I like to look at cash flow before (price-to-earnings), because everyone looks at (price-to-earnings) first, so it gets arbitraged away. Typically, we don’t look at only one metric. We look at multiple metrics because the idea is that they confirm each other. Does one work better than others before or after downturns? Typically, after downturns, price to book works very well in the U.S. because (analysts’) earnings estimates are off. (Analysts’ earnings expectations) take time to turn, because they wait for information. Otherwise, price to book is not a great metric at many other times. And you say avoiding big drops in stocks is just as important as finding winners? It’s very simple math: When a stock goes from $100 to $50, that’s a 50 percent drop. But to go back to $100, it has to go up 100 percent. So mathematically, If you can prevent big down moves in your portfolio, over time, there is a higher chance that you will (benefit from compounded growth to arrive at) a higher ending value. And you can do that by buying firms with higher dividends, because they tend to outperform in down markets, by avoiding (high risk) stocks and by avoiding stocks with low return on equity. Return on equity is a good indicator? In down markets, high ROE stock will outperform 65 to 70 percent of the time. In up markets, they just keep up with low ROE stocks. The one time that low ROE stocks do well is coming out of bottoms, coming out of recessions, because these stocks tend to get beaten up a lot, and they get a big bounce back. That happened in 2003. That happened in 2009. When people talk about the low-quality rally, that is what they are talking about. So do you stock up on utilities then, if you want to avoid stocks that could drop a lot? People assume utilities are the best defensive sector, but we found that in down markets, consumer staples, health care and utilities all tend to outperform a similar proportion of the time - 70 to 75 percent. But over time, both staples and health care have higher returns than utilities (because they rise more than utilities during up markets).

Ford lost $17 billion in 2006, the year Alan Mulally became CEO. In 2010, it made $6.6 billion. The 66-year-old Kansan reined in Ford’s bureaucracy and infighting. He shed money-losing brands like Jaguar, Volvo and Mercury. He closed six U.S. plants, cut thousands of jobs and billions in engineering costs. Mulally still has challenges. Ford is trying to overhaul Lincoln, once the nation’s top-selling luxury brand. Sales in China are about a sixth of those at General Motors. And a slow economy is hindering a comeback in U.S. sales. Mulally spoke with The Associated Press about the economy and his industry. Some excerpts: What are your biggest worries about the economy? We're generally on the right track, but it is going to be a slower recovery than we've ever had before. The private sector leading us out of this recession is the most important thing.

WI T H AL A N MU L A L L Y

Why aren’t companies using their cash stockpiles to hire more? The consumer has pulled back. We’re ready with the products and services that people really do want, but we're going to match our production of goods

Treasury yields edge up

and services, cars and trucks, to what the real demand is. We're very disciplined about that. ... The demand is still very, very low. Is it a permanent trend that people want more fuel-efficient cars? I sure think so. Most of us in the United States and around the world know that we are going to pay more for energy going forward. There will be ups and downs but, in general, it is more expensive to find oil and bring it to market than ever before. So fuel efficiency has just continued to move as the No. 1 consideration.

Stepping up to the trough Everyone has to eat. That’s one reason why agriculture stocks look so appealing after their recent drop, Credit Suisse strategists say. Prices for wheat and other agricultural commodities have fallen since the start of September, along with expectations for global economic growth. That has dragged down stocks of fertilizer producers and makers of farming equipment. But the supply of agricultural commodities in inventories is still low, which should help support prices. Rising incomes for families in emerging economies will also mean more demand, Credit Suisse analyst Mary Curtis

Take us through how, inside Ford, that changes things. If you look at Ford historically in the United States, we were about 70 percent trucks and bigger SUVs and made 30 percent cars. Around the world, the percentage is the opposite way. But in the United States, we are moving to a tremendously balanced portfolio of small, medium and large vehicles. Over the next few years, we'll be at the place where nearly 60 percent of our vehicles are small- or mediumsized cars, and about 40 percent will be the larger SUVs and trucks. It really is a tremendous transformation of Ford.

Treasury yields rose from their record lows this past week. The yield on the 10-year note rose to 1.93 percent Friday from 1.82 percent the week before. Demand for U.S. government debt securities has generally been strong since late summer. Stocks and commodities have been volatile because of concerns about Europe’s debt crisis, and that has sent Treasury prices higher and their yields lower.

OPINION

It’s too quiet on the council campaign trail

Chester & Me: Finding a most fruitful friend

SOON VOTERS of Luzerne County will converge on neighborhood polling places and with a loud, clear voice elect 11 people to a new county council that will reform county government and select the most qualified, independent and professional county manager to lead it. Well, that’s what’s supposed to happen. But in this most critical crossroads election, at a time when our politics, planning and future economic paths forward are obscured in a dense fog, there are no guarantees. In May the two major parties each nominated 11 candidates for the job. Twenty-two contenders to compete in November for the 11 available seats on council, and we’ve heard precious little from them since. In the meantime, however, a few undaunted independents have secured the necessary signatures to join the fray, become candidates and have their names on the November ballot. With so many candidates seeking so many seats in a contest so replete with importance and high expectation, you would expect far more excitement than presently exists on the barely perceptible campaign trail. The moment for candidates to step up, speak up and justify their county candidacy already has arrived and most council candidates are late, weeks late. Election Day is Nov. 8. With only 37 days remaining before the big vote there appears to be little intelligent exchange of ideas and almost nothing to justify the two parties’ request for support of their candidates at the ballot box. It’s quiet. Too quiet. The two major political parties like it that way. Candidates with an organized party behind them and a history of loyal and habitual voters underpinning their silence can employ the ancient strategy of lying low, avoiding issues and winning regardless. On the other hand, two independent candidates – Jere Packard and Rick Williams – have been speaking out, meeting voters and making their views known. Packard, 73, is an adjunct professor of history at Misericordia University and the former president of Wyoming Seminary, where he administered for 17 years a college preparatory school of 200 employees, 750 students and a $16 million budget. Packard lives in Kingston with his wife Ingrid; they are the parents of three grown sons. In listing his reasons for an independent council candidacy, Packard did not mince words: “We need a county manager who will act independently and in the best interests of the people. My fear is that some on council may attempt to select someone amenable to political pressure. I am running to ensure there is a voice on council independent of Valley partisan politics.” (See www.packard-for-council.com.) Williams, 63, is an accomplished architect and founder of his own firm, Williams, Kinsman & Lewis, in downtown Wilkes-Barre. He decided to enter the race because, “I’m concerned that the new council might get too preoccupied with party politics and power. I am an independent. I think for myself. I am beholden to no one. I have no ax to grind, no party to serve, no hunger for power. I just want to get this new form of government off to a good start. Williams and his wife Linda are residents of Kingston and are the parents of two teenagers, Oliver and Lillian. His stated goals if elected: “to select an excellent, high-performing county manager and address the near half-billion dollar county debt.” (See www.rickwilliamscountycouncil.com.) This might be the year when a few independent candidates might win. While Democrats and Republicans are lying low, independent council candidates Jere Packard and Rick Williams are standing up, speaking out, creating a stir, and they are gathering support.

CHESTER IS comfortably lying under an apple tree, munching to his heart’s delight on old rotted fruit. Occasionally he lifts his nose in the air and smells fall. Then he might roll over on his back with an apple in his mouth or he might stand, shake and look as though he’s ready to spring into action only to collapse under the tree and grab another apple. Standing over him, I urge him to his feet. “Chester, you idiot, you bum you, let’s go,” I cajole. “Exercise. We need to get into shape for the long days ahead.” He stares up balefully. I return his gaze with a look of disgust. I am not serious. I love Chester. Most often he doesn’t even look at me so I grab him by the collar, lift him to his feet and make him walk. He’s compliant but leaves his apple trove reluctantly, looking back wistfully. I begin to jog and he breaks into a lope, rarely straying from my side but bumping into me and looking up At home, though, affectionately.

October is the month he begins coursing through the woods with a frantic sense of purpose. This is bird-hunting season and the two of us must be sharp to harvest our prey. In your mind’s eye, you’re probably not envisioning Chester as a highly motivated, clear-focused hunting machine who instantly springs to life when he enters a field or the woods. Well, think again, you skeptic. Chester is a hunting dog. My hunting partner. Advertised succinctly, accurately and with a light tone of snobbery by the kennel he came from as a “Gentleman’s Shooting Dog.” The description is half true, if you focus on the promise of the dog. His work in the field is excellent, almost manic. At home, though, Chester displays a clumsy lovableness that’s endearing but reveals an attention deficit that if he were a child in school would put him in the principal’s office so often he’d have his own chair. It makes perfect sense that his early training as a bird dog was provided by an elementary school teacher, Bob Barth, who once told me he teaches younger children because “you can still give ’em a hug.” A pipe-smoking outdoorsman with a linebacker’s body and the heart of an angel, Barth is in his 27th year of teaching — all but two of them teaching first-graders — at Lamar Township Elementary School in the Keystone Central School District based in Lock Haven. Like all dogs, Chester needs love and patience. Playing in the yard with our other dogs he often trips over his own feet, tumbling head over tail to the ground. He’s not much more stable in the house. It’s tradition for a longtime friend to come to our house for dinner on Christmas night. Last year, after the family had left the table, my friend and I sat reminiscing, talking politics in peaceful serenity as snow fell outside the window. A terrible commotion interrupted the calm as a crashing, bone-thumping set of sounds bounced off the walls. The guest jumped. “What’s that?” he asked, shaken.

Job Asiimwe shown at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston, Mass. He was on the verge of becoming one of the surprisingly large number of American college and university students who fail to earn two-year associate degrees within even three years, or four-year bachelor’s degrees within six, after a dental procedure cost him more money than he earned in a month to pay for food, rent and tuition, and it wasn’t covered by insurance.

College CONCERN

Schools try new ways to keep students from dropping out By JON MARCUS

The Hechinger Report

OSTON — Things were going well for Job Asiimwe as he approached his final semester at Bunker Hill Community College here last winter. Then a toothache almost derailed

his college career. Asiimwe, an immigrant from Uganda who’s been on his own since age 19, was close to graduating. He had been accepted to a bachelor’s degree program at a college in Vermont and his plan to become a lawyer seemed within reach — until something in his mouth began to throb. He needed a crown on a tooth that had begun to decay. But the procedure cost $2,000, more than he earned in a month, and it wasn’t covered by insurance. As close as he was to graduation, he considered abandoning his studies so he could earn the money. Asiimwe was on the verge of becoming one of the surprisingly large number of American college and university students who fail to earn twoyear associate degrees within even three years, or four-year bachelor’s degrees within six. “I don’t think many people know how sometimes just one medical event could affect your life,” said Asiimwe, now 22. Asiimwe was fortunate. Bunker Hill stepped in and paid for the crown with funds from a pool of foundation money. He finished the semester, graduated in June, and has now begun work on his bachelor’s degree. “I’ve seen other students drop out, not because they can’t afford tuition, but they can’t afford the other costs of coming to college — rent, health in-

surance, transportation,” Asiimwe said. “I was lucky.” More and more American colleges and universities are recognizing that unexpected crises unrelated to academics are pushing people to drop out, especially as the economy stagnates. Under intense pressure from parents, taxpayers and politicians to improve abysmal graduation rates, the colleges are not only assuming a new role in helping their students over the bumps — they’re also keeping a close eye on students and even monitoring social media to detect early signs of trouble. “Our students are not sheltered from the economic problems of the country,” said Linda Byrd-Johnson, director of the U.S. Department of Education’s TRIO programs, which help low-income, first-generation and disabled college students. “These kids are just like everybody else,” she said. “Some of them are struggling to make ends meet.” The “Dreamkeepers” program that helped Asiimwe — underwritten by the Kresge Foundation, the Lumina

Foundation for Education and the Walmart Foundation — assists lowincome students facing personal emergencies that could derail their graduation plans. Payouts average $500 but can be as small as $11 for a bus pass. (The Lumina Foundation is among the funders of The Hechinger Report, which produced this story.) Many such interventions have not been around long enough to concretely measure their success, but some have. A case-management system at Cedar Valley College near Dallas has decreased the dropout rate for students considered at risk from 53 percent to 40 percent, the university says.

The escapee was back in custody the same day.

OTHER OPINION: EPA POWERS

Anti-regulation threatens public

S A QUICK glimpse at Republicans debating in presidential forums or in Congress will confirm, regulation is one of their scapegoats of the hour in a struggling economy. Regulating businesses, they say, kills jobs. But too little or no regulation brings its own harm in the real world – as a cursory reading of the newspaper will show. Consider the Environmental Protection Agency, which came into being more than 40 years ago under a Republican president, Richard Nixon. These days Republicans in Congress are doing their best to gut the agency’s enforcement powers, particularly in the area of airborne pollutants. Environmentalists fear another attack this week when the House votes on HR 2250 and HR 2681, which are attempts to repeal recent EPA rules under the Clean Air Act restricting toxic emissions from incinerators, boilers and cement kilns. Once again, protecting jobs is the excuse for jeopardizing the health of Americans.

How people feel about their well-being can be gauged from an EPA hearing in Pittsburgh Tuesday. Some 108 speakers, many of them people living near Marcellus Shale natural gas wells, signed up to be heard at the daylong meeting. All but about a dozen of the speakers supported the regulations. In addition, the Sierra Club presented the three EPA officials with 23,560 comments gathered from people concerned about drilling here and elsewhere. Anti-regulation dogma aside, jobs are fine but so is health. Meanwhile on Capitol Hill, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, the Kentucky Republican and tea party favorite, has been the sole holdout blocking a law to strengthen safety rules for oil and gas pipelines – a need that even the industry acknowledges after a deadly gas pipeline explosion last year and other mishaps. But Sen. Paul dislikes federal regulation more than the chance to avert tragedy. And right there is all the proof that is needed of the moral bankruptcy of anti-regulation ideology. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

‘Local’ politics can have worldwide consequences THEY SAY “all politics is local.” But economic decisions impact the whole economy and reverberate internationally. That is why politicians’ meddling with the economy creates so

many disasters. The time horizon of politics seldom reaches beyond the next election. But, in economics, when an oil company invests in oil explorations today, the oil it eventually finds and processes might not make its way to market and earn a profit until it is sold as gasoline a decade from now. In short, the focus of politicians is extremely limited in both space and time – and all the repercussions that lie beyond those limits carry little, if any, weight in political decisions. At one time, many state banking laws forbad a bank from having multiple branches. The goal was limited and local – namely, to prevent big, nationally known banks from setting up branches that many locally owned banks could not successfully compete against. But, limited and local as such state banking laws were, their impact was both national and catastrophic, when thousands of American banks failed during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The vast majority of the banks that failed were in states that had laws against branch banking. Why? Because, when there is a single bank in a single place, the fate of both its depositors and its borrowers depends on what happens

COMMENTARY THOMAS SOWELL there. If it is a wheat-growing region, a drop in the price of wheat means people deposit less money in the bank at the same time when more borrowers are unable to repay their loans. Banks caught in that kind of crossfire went under on a scale that shrank the total amount of credit in the country and helped plunge the national economy into depression. Our own more recent housing boom and bust began when local politicians in various places began severely restricting the building of houses, in the name of “open space,” “smart growth” or whatever other political slogans were in vogue. As housing prices skyrocketed in such places as coastal California, both renters and home buyers in these particular places often had to pay half their monthly income just to put a roof over their heads. This in turn led to Washington politicians declaring a need for nationwide laws and policies to create “affordable housing,” even though people in most of the country were paying a lower share of their income for housing than in previous years. This political crusade for “affordable housing” was at the heart of laws, regulations and even threats from the Department of Justice

against mortgage lenders that failed to lend to as many low-income and minority borrowers as the politicians wanted them to. Regardless of the additional problems that occurred as these mortgages were bought by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or were later bundled into securities sold by Wall Street, the fundamental problem was that many people simply stopped making their mortgage payments – as was perfectly predictable when lending standards were forced down by the government. The politicians and bureaucrats who forced lenders to lower their standards had limited goals in mind – namely affordable housing and more minority home ownership. But the repercussions when the housing markets collapsed spread all across the American economy and led to financial crises overseas, where financial securities based on American mortgages were widely sold. All politics might be local, but the repercussions reach around the world, and even extend to generations yet unborn, who will be left to cope with the national debts resulting from this debacle. Quick fixes for the economy now are unlikely to get investors to make job-creating investments, which depend on long-term factors ignored by politicians who are focused on the 2012 elections.

Obama should mend, not end, No Child Left Behind BEFORE EVERYONE in Washington rushes out to slay No Child Left Behind, let’s be clear what the guiding principles of the 2001 law are: • In return for a substantial hike in funds to help schools serve low-income students, states must measure how all their schools are doing, based on the state’s education standards. Schools are expected to show progress each year on student test scores. By the year 2014, all children are to be proficient in reading and math. • If schools consistently fail to show adequate progress year over year, the feds and states can intervene. The most dramatic sanction would be to close schools. In other cases, struggling campuses would have access to substantial funds for tutoring. In some situations, students could transfer to another public school. These are the essential parts of No Child, which admittedly has a bad brand. But do we really want to ditch these fundamentals? Data from a recent Harvard Journal on Legislation report shows substantial increases in reading and math scores for some age groups of blacks and Hispanics since states started measuring their schools and holding them accountable. For example, 9-year-old blacks and Latinos have shown essentially a one-year-or-more gain in read-

COMMENTARY WILLIAM MCKENZIE ing and math from 1999-2008. I’m making these arguments again because the Obama administration announced earlier this month that it wants to give states a way out from No Child’s requirements. Yes, the administration wants to continue testing kids. That’s good. But to what end? After all, the president would let each state determine how it would use the data each year to assess its students. The White House also is ending No Child’s requirement that every child be proficient in reading and math by 2014. It instead wants them college-ready. College readiness is important, but how will states define that term? Also, why give states a waiver to decide if they want to use the tutoring requirements under No Child? Don’t we want kids who are struggling to be guaranteed access to help? Likewise, why get rid of the federal requirement that lets students transfer out of a consistently failing school? Does the administration, which would let states decide whether to provide that option, think it’s OK to leave kids in those schools? Yes, there are ways to improve the law.

For example, the administration is right that, if a school shows progress with one set of students, but not another, those differences should be factored into the campus assessment. The White House also is correct that states should use classroom data to help evaluate teachers. Classroom observations shouldn’t be the only way to do the assessments. But the real headline here is discouraging: The White House is lessening the federal government’s requirements for public schools. In this age, when everyone’s mad at government, that’s likely to be popular. Let’s remember, though, why the feds stepped up their involvement – because, just as the legislation’s name suggests – students were being left behind. Do we really want to return to that era, where some kids have access to good schools, but students in other states don’t? Doesn’t the federal government have a stake in trying to give all children a shot at a better school, much like it does in creating access for all of us to clean air or clean water? Yes it does. Which is why No Child needs amending, not ending. William McKenzie is an editorial columnist for The Dallas Morning News.

Abbas rejectionism the obstacle to peace WHILE diplomatically inconvenient for the Western powers, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ attempt to get the United Nations to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state has elicited widespread sympathy. After all, what choice did he have? According to the accepted narrative, Middle East peace is made impossible by a hard-line Likud-led Israel that refuses to accept a Palestinian state and continues to build settlements. It is remarkable how this gross inversion of the truth has become conventional wisdom. In fact, Benjamin Netanyahu brought his Likud-led coalition to open recognition of a Palestinian state, thereby creating Israel’s first national consensus for a two-state solution. He is also the only prime minister to agree to a settlement freeze – 10 months – something no Labor or Kadima government has ever done. To which Abbas responded by boycotting the talks for nine months, showing up in the 10th, then walking out when the freeze expired. Late last month he reiterated that he will continue to boycott peace talks unless Israel gives up – in advance – claim to any territory beyond the 1967 lines. Meaning, for example, that the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem is Palestinian territory. This is not just absurd. It violates every prior peace agreement. They all stipulate that such demands are to be the subject of negotiations, not their precondition. Abbas unwaveringly insists on the so-called “right of return,” which would demographically destroy Israel by swamping it with millions of Arabs, thereby turning the world’s only Jewish state into the world’s 23rd Arab state. And he has repeatedly declared, as recently as about a week ago in New York: “We shall not recognize a Jewish state.” Nor is this new. It is perfectly consistent with the long history of Palestinian rejectionism. Consider: • Camp David, 2000. At a U.S.-sponsored summit, Prime Minister Ehud Barak offers Yasser Arafat a Palestinian state on the West Bank and Gaza – and, astonishingly, the previously inconceivable division of Jerusalem. Arafat refuses – and makes no counteroffer, thereby demonstrating his unseriousness about making any deal. Instead, within two months, he launches a savage terror war that kills a thousand Israelis. • Taba, 2001. An even sweeter deal – the Clinton Param-

COMMENTARY CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER eters – is offered. Arafat walks away again. • Israel, 2008. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert makes the ultimate capitulation to Palestinian demands – 100 percent of the West Bank (with land swaps), Palestinian statehood, the division of Jerusalem with the Muslim parts becoming the capital of the new Palestine. And incredibly, he offers to turn over the city’s holy places, including the Western Wall – Judaism’s most sacred site, its Kaaba – to an international body on which sit Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Did Abbas accept? Of course not. If he had, the conflict would be over and Palestine would already be a member of the United Nations. This is not ancient history. All three peace talks occurred over the past decade. And every one completely contradicts the current mindless narrative of Israeli “intransigence” as the obstacle to peace. Settlements? Every settlement remaining within the new Palestine would be destroyed and emptied, precisely as happened in Gaza. So why did the Palestinians say no? Because saying yes would have required them to sign a final peace agreement that accepted a Jewish state on what they consider the Muslim patrimony. The key word here is “final.” The Palestinians are quite prepared to sign interim agreements, like Oslo. Framework agreements, like Annapolis. Cease-fires, like the 1949 armistice. Anything but a final deal. Anything but a final peace. Anything but a treaty that ends the conflict once and for all – while leaving a Jewish state still standing. After all, why did Abbas go to the United Nations last month? For nearly half a century, the United States has pursued a Middle East settlement on the basis of the formula of land for peace. Land for peace produced the Israel-Egypt peace of 1979 and the Israel-Jordan peace of 1994. Israel has offered the Palestinians land for peace three times since. And been refused every time. Why? For exactly the same reason Abbas went to the U.N. last week: to get land without peace. Land for peace, yes. Land without peace is nothing but an invitation to suicide.

Blood drive tops last year’s effort

he fifth annual Mike Chocallo Memorial Blood Drive in July was the most productive one thus far, yielding 50 units of much-needed blood as well as a double red cell donation. I am grateful for the people who came out to help ensure that there will be lifesaving blood available when it is needed. Six people donated in memory of my husband, and

my son Michael did the double red cell donation. I know that my husband was smiling down through the holes in the floor of heaven as his family and friends gathered to remember him. The other 44 donations were made by the “regulars,” as we affectionately call them – those people who donate on the 56-day schedule all year. God bless these people for their devotion to this lifesaving mission. I see the “regulars” at each blood drive, and we have formed a bond as we share conversation and refreshments. The blood drive was a beautiful thing; people of all ages, from all walks of life and with problems of their own all united in the selfless, quiet generosity of sharing. That is something that money cannot buy. I cannot say enough about the volunteers and paid staff who “make the wheel turn” at the blood donation sites, and I want to thank each of them for what they do. From the time I walk in the door, each person is friendly, kind and efficient, making the donation process seem like a visit with friends.

The need for blood donation never ends; the recent flooding in our area caused the cancellation of countless blood drives, resulting in a shortage of blood. There are blood drives within minutes of almost everyone’s home, and many offer nifty prizes and incentives for donors. Please donate blood; you never know whose life might depend on it. Heroes come in many forms and sizes, and that hero can be you. Bonnie Fowler Chocallo Wyoming

Helping hands in a difficult time

y husband and I left our dwelling due to flooding concerns after feverishly trying to save what we could. We noticed there was sewage backing up into our basement, so we capped off any access and began moving whatever we could to the first floor. The next day, my husband and I were devastated to see that the sewer backup on Brookside Street, Wilkes-

Barre, had entered our first floor. When we returned home on Saturday, the sewage was off the street. Now we are on the road to what we are calling our “new beginning.” We thank the good Lord for providing us with the following people who helped and supported us through this transition: Franchelli Brothers, Tom Young, John Young, Dave Young, Ronald Evans Jr., Marianne Fox, George Petrick, Emily Benson, Dan Laury, David Hess, Jen Hawk, Mary Kroll, Jason Prutzman, The Magic Bus Cafe, Jack (the bartender at Dukey’s), Joe Shumoski, Dukey’s, Nancy Polocko, the American Red Cross, the city of Wilkes-Barre, Mayor Tom Leighton, Sen. John Yudichak, Wilkes University students, King’s College students, Arrow Auto Glass, Mom, Dad and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. We are hoping that there will be some sort of state aid, because we know FEMA will not be able to supply us with the full amount of what it will cost to put our house in order.

Federal regulations putting stranglehold on businesses, economy WITH HIS political party firmly in control of Congress, President Obama devoted his first two years in office to several massive regulatory schemes that would for the first time bring whole sectors of the economy under the control of the federal government. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which passed only after several reluctant lawmakers were plied with giveaways to their states, placed fully 17 percent of the U.S. economy into the hands of the Department of Health and Human Services. Not only does “Obamacare” mandate that every American purchase health insurance, but it regulates out of existence basic plans that now cover millions of Americans.

bling out of the EPA. Indeed, there are 330 new regulations under consideration right now, and every one of them would have an impact of $100 million or more on the economy. But there’s more. The other agencies of the Obama administration also are busy writing new rules. They would affect our food choices, our financial lives, our farmers and even the basic renovations that we make to our homes. Nothing apparently is beyond the reach of the federal government. Small businesses pay the heaviest price to comply with these rules. According to the Small Business Administration, mom-and-pop businesses pay 60 percent more to meet federal standards than larger corporations. It’s no surprise, then, that small businesses are extremely reluctant to hire new workers even if they can because of the cloud of uncertainty that billows out of Washington these days.

Readers can learn more about our coalition and its members by visiting www.sensibleregulations.org.

read sports columnist Paul Sokoloski’s commentary regarding the unfair beatings poor Michael Vick is suffering at the hands of just about everyone (“Beatings and batterings dogging Vick,” Sept. 27). What I glean from this column is that many NFL players, their coaches and officials are banding together in an unfair attack on the Eagles’ “star quarterback,” and Mr. Vick is very displeased with the rough and unjust treatment he’s receiving. Poor baby. Perhaps some of the hits he’s taken were late and perhaps he’s been battered due to lack of protection while in the pocket. I’ll never know firsthand because I gave up watching the Eagles play when Mr. Vick was brought into the Eagles fold and, subsequently,

signed to his $100 million, six-year contract. While he might continue to be reviled by many fans, others have newfound admiration for his excellent skills on the field and don’t remember that little matter about the dogs. Go Eagles! (No matter what). In his interview with GQ, Mr. Vick stated, “It’s almost as everyone wanted to hate me, but what have I done to anybody?” Seriously? My grandfather always said you can measure a man by how he treats his dog. That said, it is my opinion that Michael Vick will never be anything more than some-

Writer chides Conahan counsel

hile en route to Boston several years ago, I was pulled over on Route 184 in Connecticut for doing 72 mph in a 55-mph zone. The fine amounted to $198, which I could have put to better use by augmenting my cigar and wine supply. However, I was aware I was breaking the law

and did not try to point out to the trooper that I was in the flow of traffic. I was the one stopped and accepted responsibility. Although there is no comparison of my speeding fine to former Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan’s corruption conviction, I must give him credit for accepting responsibility for his misdeeds, unlike the lame excuses of his coconspirator, Mark Ciavarella. On the other hand, I am sure that Conahan was aware that his defense attorneys were going to attempt to rationalize his behavior by claiming Conahan’s father beat him when he was a boy for forgetting to stoke a furnace. What utter nonsense! The elder Conahan was elected mayor of Hazleton three times, and I understand he was highly regarded. In my view, it was unnecessary to seek a lighter sentence by besmirching his father’s reputation.

Conahan gets an “A” for his statement at his sentencing. The same cannot be said for his counsel. Ralph Rostock Carverton

Flooding victims need speedy help

here is much to say and much to do relative to Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee that hit Northeastern Pennsylvania, including the Wyoming Valley, with a vengeance. Many agencies are dealing with ways to assist flood victims. It was extremely distressing that certain members of Congress seemed to have more interest in smoke and mirrors than immediately and expeditiously providing the necessary funds for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. An emergency is exactly what that word signifies. It demands quick and

speedy action to combat a problem that requires a massive support system for the benefit of all those affected by these tragic events. Commendation goes to all those federal elected officials who made the decision to quickly come to the aid of flood victims. We have the heart to meet the need. We have the talent to meet the need. We have the commitment to meet the need. We have the volunteers to meet the need. We have the creativity to meet the need. We have the strength to meet the need. We do not have all the financial resources to meet the need. Support the needs of disaster victims and their families now. Howard J.

I had always admired the DeCoverly setter, which has at its roots the English setter, out of a line called Ryman setters. More than likely, you now know more than you care to know about dog lineage. The explanation is offered only because when people see one

fore turning down the chance to buy him. But by that time Chester had jumped up with his paws on my chest and was looking soulfully into my eyes. From that point on, I never had a chance. The first night at my house, Chester followed me to my bedside. He’s been there ever since — well, if you don’t count the times he’s been under the apple tree. He often comes to the office with me. As much as I love him, there is one grudge I will forever hold against him. If he had come along sooner, revealing the many characters he plays in real life and the many personalities he displays, I could have chronicled them in writing and we might have made millions with a book and then movie about “Chester and Me.” Of course, Chester’s undying loyalty and friendship are worth far more than fame and fortune — and, actually, it’s not Chester against whom I hold a grudge. It’s Marley.

that were about two years old that had completed their early bird-dog training. There was one lying outside on the porch with Bob Barth, he said. And sure enough, there was Prince (his kennel name), gnawing on a wooden table. Barth held him by a leash and said the dog was new to the field but was his favorite training prospect. Prior to his training, he had been considered a possible breeding dog. He’s one handsome devil, a tri-color of brown and black speckles against a background of white coat. He had failed the final confirmation test as a prized stud by one centimeter. Missing out on a lifetime of breeding in the kennel must have been a blow to him, but he showed great eagerness to greet me. Although I could imagine this dog and I, against a setting of fall foliage, walking back to my truck after a rewarding day in the field, I told the kennel owner I still wanted a puppy. “He’ll never bond with me,” I proclaimed. He asked me to watch him work Chester in the field be-

Whew. I’m starting to bore myself being so explicit, especially when there’s a good dog story to tell. Readers love dog stories, I know, because my column about my old yellow lab “Boone” is still requested for reprint many years after the writing and after he left the good Earth lying in my arms at the vet’s office following many bouts with the maladies of old age. I was looking for a replacement for Boone and a springer spaniel named Sophie the day I drove to DeCoverly Kennels. “Looking for a puppy I can raise and train to be a bird dog,” I told the kennel owner by phone the day before I drove to the kennel. When I arrived, the owner invited me into his office. Grimly he stared at me over a cup of coffee. “No puppy for you,” he said. “I won’t sell you one.” Crushed as if my prom date had refused at the last second to go to the dance with me, I winced. “Nope,” he said. “At your age (61 then) you may not be around long enough to hunt a dog who’s now a pup.” He said he had some dogs

When I describe how the next day they will see a different Chester when he swings into action, hunting and retrieving with passion, they will laugh, skeptical that my unfocused pet could be a serious hunting dog. If they shoot something, I assure them, Chester will retrieve. He will hold up his end of the bargain.

CONNOR “Oh,” I said, “that’s just Chester falling down a flight of stairs. He’s fine.” There are times when I call Chester to the door and he comes at a dead run, misses the door and collides head-on with the side of the house. He’s been known to wander into the middle of a busy street and stand there, quizzically looking at the brakescreeching, horn-blowing cars. Actually, all of these traits vanish when bird season starts this time of year, as it does in several parts of the country. He and I will be in the north woods next weekend, hunting grouse and woodcock with some friends. They have never seen Chester, but when they do, the day before we hunt, he will be curled up at my feet like a big, spotted foot cushion. When we go to our cabins for a night’s rest, he will sleep either next to my bed or on it. When I describe how the next day they will see a different Chester when he swings into action, hunting and retrieving with passion, they will laugh, skeptical that my unfocused pet could be a serious hunting dog.

and other scholarship programs, reports that the proportion of students who stay in school from one semester to the next after getting help from Dreamkeepers is 72 percent, compared with 50 percent for students who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive such help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finances are the number one reason students drop out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just school finances â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life finances,â&#x20AC;? said Lauren Segal, president and CEO of Scholarship America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the day-to-day life experiences that are the hurdles students have to get over. And those donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be big things. They can be small things â&#x20AC;&#x201D; say, their day care goes up $100 a month, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the make-orbreak number.â&#x20AC;? Only 29 percent of community college students earn two-year degrees within three years, according to U.S. Department of Education statistics. At four-year universities, 57 percent of students complete bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees within six years. The Obama administration has called for raising graduation rates substantially by 2020. But about a third of students entering

college today are the first in their families to go to college, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, and a quarter are both first-generation and low-income. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the issues that (they) have are life issues, not academic issues,â&#x20AC;? said Ingrid Washington, vice president of student affairs at Gateway Community and Technical College near Cincinnati. Gateway loans laptops to students who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford them and accepts donated clothes for them to wear to job interviews or to work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so close to the edge, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how they live every day,â&#x20AC;? Washington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Educators used to say, leave your issues at the door. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that anymore.â&#x20AC;? At Mount Hood Community College near Portland, Ore., employees have found students sleeping in campus restrooms or in their cars because they were evicted from their homes. More than half work full or part time. Fewer than 22 percent graduate within three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the general public gets it,â&#x20AC;? said Robert Cox, Mount Hoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dean of student services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are people who are on the fringe. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really just trying to get through till they get paid.â&#x20AC;? Yet with other public services cut, he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t many

other places left for students to turn.â&#x20AC;? Mount Hood lets students check out books, laptops and calculators if they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford them, runs a food pantry and provides bus passes for students in emergencies. The cost of one-way bus fare on the local transit system is $2.40. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even that could be a deal-breaker for many of these students,â&#x20AC;? Cox said.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com

A recent study by researchers at Michigan State University found that minor problems can start a chain of events resulting in students dropping out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These small things â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just simply having the bus fare, or an unexpected bad grade, or being depressed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are shocks that prompt students to think about quitting,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Pleskac, a Michigan State psychology professor who directed the study.

Revisionist ‘Porgy’ has purists livid By LINDA WINER Newsday

S FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

Above: Sam James looks over the art work hung in the Sordoni Art Gallery inside the Stark Learning Center of Wilkes University. Top of page: Look closely and you’ll begin to distinguish some of the 1.14 million brown paper bags used in supermarkets in the United States every hour. Inset top: Every 30 seconds, 106,000 aluminum cans are used in the United States. Here is a representation of those cans arranged to look like a portrait by Georges Seurat. Middle: The 11,000 jet trails represented in this image represent the number of commercial jet flights in the United States every eight hours. Bottom: This image depicts the 1 million plastic cups used every six hours in the airline industry.

o, do we Americans use too many bottles? Cans? Plastic bags? Visit the Sordoni Art Gallery at Wilkes University this month and you may find yourself squinting as you ponder the answer. Welcome to the “Running the Numbers” exhibit where, from a distance, the photographic images by Chris Jordan look like ocean waves, curtains made from wood, even gravel. But look closely at that “gravel.” It’s made up of 426,000 cell phones, representing the phones retired in the United States every day. That big ocean wave? It’s composed of tiny images of bottle caps, umbrella handles, flower pots – all representing 2.4 million pounds of plastic that, it is estimated, enter the world’s oceans every hour. The picture that looks like curtains represents 1.14 million brown paper bags, the amount used every hour in supermarkets in the United States. And, no, the Seattle-based artist did not physically collect thousands of pieces of trash. Jordan worked with photos of single objects or small groups of objects and arranged them in many thought-provoking ways. The exhibit remains on display at the Sordoni Art Gallery inside the Stark Learning Center at Wilkes University through Dec. 11. The address is 150 South River St. in Wilkes-Barre.

NEW YORK — Summertime or not, living is anything but easy around the Broadwaybound revival of “Porgy and Bess.” Ever since reports surfaced about a drastic makeover planned for George and Ira Gershwin’s It is hard not to 1935 landmark “folk bristle when opera” about artists brag poor blacks about fixing on Catfish what most con- Row, smoke sider one of the can be seen spewing great American from the ears of outraged theater-opera admirers — pieces. including the impeccable ears of a furious Stephen Sondheim. It may seem ridiculous to be arguing about a production that isn’t even scheduled to open on Broadway until mid-January. In fact, the new adaptation recently had its first preview at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Mass. Robert Kimball, musical-theater scholar and artistic adviser for the Ira Gershwin trusts, said the production has not yet been approved for New York, as required, by the estates of both Gershwins and authors DuBose and Dorothy Heyward. (Tickets for the Broadway run, however, already are being sold.) The controversy may be premature, but it is hardly unprovoked. The fury involves radical revisions announced by director Diane Paulus (“Hair”) and her creative team in American Theatre magazine, The Boston Globe and, most explosively, The New York Times. Indeed, the changes sound enormous. Porgy, the crippled beggar who loves the fast-living Bess, uses a cane instead of a goat-drawn cart. Bess gets softened as a rape victim instead of a woman complicit in her seduction. And the ambiguous ending, where Porgy sets out to find Bess, has been turned into a happy one. For starters, George Gershwin’s magnificent music is being rearranged and reharmonized, half-sung introductions to songs are being replaced by new dialogue, lyrics by brother Ira and DuBose Heyward are being revised. Sondheim, in his book “Finishing the Hat,” describes Heyward’s lyrics for “Porgy” as “the most beautiful and powerful in our musicaltheater history.” Even the ravishing “Summertime” is being turned into a duet with an accordion because, according to musical adapter Diedre Murray, it’s too high for a lullaby.

Thorogood ‘Bad to the Bone’ By JOSEPH HUDAK For The Times Leader

No matter how many hits they may have in their careers, artists are usually forever identified by one song. Willie Nelson? “On the Road Again.” Frank Sinatra? “My Way.” Carly Simon? “You’re So Vain.” For George Thorogood, that song is the enduring “Bad to the Bone,” defined by its signature chainsaw riff. The Delaware bluesman, who plays the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday with his longtime band the Destroyers, is perfectly fine with that. “Most people are known for one song. When I get on the

plane, they go, ‘Well, who are you?’ I say, ‘George Thorogood,’ and they say, ‘Never heard of you.’ Then I say, ‘Bad to the Bone,’ and they go, ‘Oh yeah!’” the fast-talking Thorogood explains. “That’s not the curse of every artist; that’s the dream of every artist.” Still, the now-30-year-old tune, released in 1982 on the album of the same name, almost wasn’t the signature song it has become. Thorogood says he originally shopped it to blues legend Muddy Waters, whose manager not only shot it down but became irate at the notion that Waters would ever record Thorogood’s composition. “It kind of broke my heart. His manager got really offended, saying, ‘We’ll never do a song written

If Eric Clapton or Keith Richards wrote that, you’d record it in a minute,’ ” Thorogood says. “Then we tried to give it to Bo Diddley, and, although he liked the song, he passed because he didn’t have See THOROGOOD, Page 4F

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Think about the skills you’ve already learned in your life. It wasn’t easy, but with practice you got there. And you’re about to add new tricks to your bag. Your brain is like a muscle that gets stronger when you exercise it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your powers of visualization are pumping. You will put this state of heightened imagination to good purpose. For instance, you might use it to gaze into the future and see the person you will become. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Take advantage of downtime and rejuvenate your energy. There is no right way to relax. If you are feeling carefree and loose, then whatever you’re doing is working. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In many ways, you are just being born. Giving yourself too much to think about and do will stunt your growth. Pare down your schedule and focus your attention on the obviously essential tasks on your list. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This day is all about partnership. You cooperate well with others, and you get things done quickly and easily. You get the same benefits from giving as you do from taking when you give with joy and take with gratitude. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Stress can hurt. Strain becomes pain. The best way to avoid this circumstance is to resolve not to worry so much in the first place. Detach yourself emotionally, and you will be able to handle things easily and maybe even joyfully. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re looking good today, but why settle for good when you could be ravishing? All it takes is 10 percent more attention to the details, and suddenly you sparkle and shine. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll excel without trying very hard. This will probably annoy your peers. What’s your winning secret? You view the work involved as a form of play. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will listen to your inner voice. If there are secrets being kept from you, you’ll sense what they are about and slyly poke around until you get an answer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A game that was fun in the early stages has rapidly become a joyless struggle. You hate to quit, and yet quitting just might be the smartest thing to do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The clock seems to be laughing at you. It’s speeding up and slowing down at will, just to mess with you. Remember: You can be a great manager! You’ve got to show Time who is boss. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A boost in your physical vitality has a domino effect on the other areas of your life. Your selfesteem percolates, your love life shimmers, your financial horizons open up. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 2). Some previous roles won’t apply, and you’ll happily embrace your new incarnation. A new relationship helps you transition smoothly in letting go of who you used to be. Through fall, you will have greater freedom and heightened creativity. You’ll teach and share your wisdom in January. Finances pick up in March. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 1, 20, 44 and 29.

Niece’s behavior presents sticky situation Dear Abby: My mother passed away recently. My sister, who lives in another state, flew in with her 4-year-old daughter, “Nikki,” to attend Mom’s wake. When the wake ended, Nikki began to place stickers on Mom’s hands and one on her face. The stickers had been given to her by another guest before the service started. When my 18-year-old daughter saw what her cousin had done, she removed them, and Nikki threw a tantrum and refused to leave the casket. My sister spoke quietly to her, trying to get the child to leave, then allowed her to put at least two more stickers on my mother’s hand. Finally, I gently picked Nikki up and took her away from the casket. My father is a mild-mannered man and, although he frowned in disapproval, he said nothing. This has caused a huge rift between my sister and me. I feel a 4-year-old is too young to attend a wake. Nikki should not have been allowed to put stickers on my mother. My sister says I “undermined” her parenting and had no right to intervene. What are your thoughts? — Saddened in New Jersey

lieve, is less the specific changes than what Sondheim, in a scorching letter to the Times, refers to as the “disdain” for the original expressed by Paulus, Pulitzer Prize-winning adapter Suzan-Lori Parks and four-time Tony winner Audra McDonald, who plays Bess. I wouldn’t dream of prejudging any production. But it is hard not to bristle when artists brag about fixing what most consider one of the great American theater-opera pieces because — you know — nobody liked it anyway. Yes, there has always been a queasy side of “Porgy,” a work about blacks in a South Carolina slum by citified Jews from Brooklyn. Phillip Boykin, who plays the villain AP FILE PHOTO

A Washington National Opera production of ‘Porgy and Bess’ starred Terry Cook as Crown, seated, and Indira Mahajan as Bess. Controversy surrounds the upcoming revival of the Gershwin classic on Broadway.

a record deal at the time.” Thorogood said the stuttering ba-ba-ba-“Bad to the Bone,” written long before its eventual release, sat dormant for nearly eight years. Until stations such as Rock 107, which is presenting Tuesday’s show, got hold of it. “Classic-rock radio, that’s what did it,” Thorogood says. Considering the frequency with which you hear the song on the radio, he isn’t exaggerating. “Bad to the Bone,” along with other Thorogood hits such as “I Drink Alone,” “Get a Haircut (And Get a Real Job)” and his take on “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” have become staples of the classic-rock format. Naturally, those songs are highlights of Thorogood’s hard-rocking set, but he and the band also will work in a few selections from their latest album, the terrific

It keeps us advancing.” While progression is vital to the 60-year-old, he says he’s nonetheless happy to give his audience what it secretly desires: those oft-played radio hits such as “Bone” and “One Bourbon.” In fact, to this day, the Delaware native says fans still approach him to try to ply him with free booze. Even the principal of his daughter’s school. “I did a gig in L.A., and the principal came to the show. He loved it so much and afterward said, ‘You and me have to talk.’ I thought he was going to talk about my daughter and, like, counsel me or something. I thought I was in trouble,” Thorogood recalls. But, no, this was a decidedly social call. “The principal said, ‘You and I are going to do a bourbon, scotch, and beer together.’ ” Thorogood says, bursting into laughter. “How do you like that?”

Crown here and has sung the role in opera houses, says “There are things I have done in the opera ... that I have hated for years. I have hated the lines.” Remember when Matthew Bourne’s all-male “Swan Lake” was advertised to Broadway audiences as a musical, not a ballet, even though it was just a trickedup ballet? I even resented visionary director Peter Brook when his 90-minute reduction of Bizet’s “Carmen” was promoted in 1983 as a musical-theater piece, not an opera because, hey, who wants to sit through that boring old thing? “Porgy” has always sat on both sides of the musical-opera divide. The other six times the show was revived on Broadway (in cut and simplified versions until the ’70s production), I’m betting nobody felt it necessary to insult opera to prove its street cred.

“2120 South Michigan Avenue.” A tribute to the artists and songs of the famous blues, rock and R&B label — the record’s title refers to the address of Chess Records in Chicago — “2120” contains Thorogood’s interpretations of such classics as “High Heel Sneakers,” “Let It Rock” and “Seventh Son.” It’s that last one, Thorogood says, that has been especially wowing audiences on this tour. “How did Elvis Presley miss that song?” Thorogood wonders of the jumping rockabilly tune, which became an eventual hit for ’60s rock-’n’-roller Johnny Rivers. “Johnny Rivers is lucky Elvis didn’t do it. He would have torn that thing to pieces.” Thorogood said he chose the song for inclusion on “2120” because of the response he knew it would receive when played live. “Most people at record labels are always picking something that will go to radio, which is understandable.

Spencer Tracy’s transgressions and triumphs By SUSAN KING Los Angeles Times

By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL Associated Press “Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend” (Simon & Schuster), by Susan Orlean

ee Duncan’s great unrealized ambition was a movie based on his unlikely life with his canine pal Rin Tin Tin. He had to settle instead for the financial rewards that came from creating a cultural phenomenon. The ups and downs of Duncan’s life — and the German shepherd’s Hollywood career — provide the spine of Susan Orlean’s engrossing and delightful book, “Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend.” Its heart lies in her exploration of how a dog could come to embody the ideal of heroic devotion and, eventually, exist as an icon outside the boundaries of time.

Duncan grew up fatherless in California and spent three years at an orphanage while his mother sorted out her life. Not until he was living on his grandfather’s ranch did he have a dog and the companionship he craved — only to be forced to give up his little terrier when the family moved. Unlike the plot of a typical “Rin Tin Tin” script, the boy and his dog never reunited. A soldier in France during World War I, Duncan came across a wrecked kennel. Amid the dead dogs were five German shepherd puppies. He kept two, naming them Nanette and Rin Tin Tin after good-luck figurines of the day, and managed to get them back to the U.S. Nanette died soon after, and Duncan began training “Rinty” at his home in Los Angeles. The breed was relatively new, developed in Germany in 1899, and its fierce, contemplative

countenance and athletic abilities made it perfect for the movies. Rin Tin Tin became America’s favorite movie star, on four legs or two, after 1923’s “Where the North Begins.” The incredible success of his films in the silent era gave the fledgling Warner Bros. studio a firm footing in the industry. A generation later, Duncan turned to television to introduce Rin Tin Tin to baby boomers. A star was reborn. The bloodline was a bit murky by then and more than one dog was needed for the weekly series and public events. As Orlean notes, it was the idea behind Rin Tin Tin — heroism and devotion — that really mattered. Orlean finds much more to the story than a man and his dog: good fortune and bad luck, money made and lost, egos built up and torn down, families united and broken, people loved and unloved, and lots and lots of litigation. Through it all, Rin Tin Tin abides.

Lisa Black series gives readers ‘CSI: Cleveland’ By OLINE H. COGDILL Sun Sentinel

“Defensive Wounds” by Lisa Black; Morrow (352 pages, $24.99)

Many mysteries with forensics at the heart of their plots tend to concentrate more on scientific minutia, often at the detriment of characters and plot. While Florida author Lisa Black wraps her series around Cleveland forensic scientist Theresa MacLean, she steeps her novels in the exploration of her characters’ lives and motives, resulting in engrossing stories and solid plots. “Defensive Wounds,” Black’s fourth novel, works well as a story about grief and the bonds between a mother and child, while

including just enough forensics to satisfy readers who revel in the science. Theresa’s latest crime scene is a forensics mess — with no shortage of suspects. Aggressive defense attorney Marie Corrigan’s murder in an expensive hotel suite leaves lots of trace evidence — much of which may not be related to the crime. After all, hotel rooms have an endless parade of guests who leave behind tiny bits of DNA. Despised by the cops, her

colleagues, her clients and even her sexual partners, Marie made enemies, not friends, including at the convention for defense attorneys she was attending when she was killed. “If you want to hide an enemy, hide it in a forest of enemies,” muses one detective investigating the crime. When two more attorneys are killed, Theresa tries to find the evidence that will link the three murders. Despite her demanding job, Theresa finds time to worry about her daughter, Rachel, whose summer job at the hotel may have put her near a murderer. The college-bound Rachel’s growing affection for another co-worker has Theresa on edge.

Brisk action and detailed characters complement “Defensive Wounds.” Black’s investment in her characters shows as each emerges as a real person, with understandable motives. Black knows her forensics, being a latent fingerprint examiner and crime scene investigator in Florida and a former forensic scientist for the Cleveland coroner’s office. She loads just enough forensics in “Defensive Wounds” to make the story believable, but is careful not to let the science overwhelm the plot. “Defensive Wounds” illustrates the reality of crime scene investigations with appealing characters.

LOS ANGELES — According to James Curtis, author of the new 1,056-page “Spencer Tracy: A Biography,” it could have been actress Loretta Young who became the love of Tracy’s life, not Katharine Hepburn, his partner for 26 years and with whom he made nine films. Tracy and Young, both Catholics, began their romance while working together on the 1933 Depression-era drama “A Man’s Castle.” Though TracywasmarriedtoLouiseTreadwell, the illicit pair would go to Mass and confessions together. “I think they were drawn together because of the shared bond of faith,” saidCurtis,whospentsixyearsonthe book, drawing from Tracy’s own papersandobtainingthecooperationof the actor’s daughter, Susie Tracy. But it was also their faith that caused the relationship to end after about a year. Tracy wouldn’t divorce Treadwell and Young wouldn’t have married a divorced man. Hepburn didn’t have such hangups. Tracy met her on the set of George Stevens’1942 classic romantic comedy “Woman of the Year.” “Hepburn really kind of inserted herself into Tracy’s life,” said Curtis.“Shefellmadlyinlovewithhim, though she was never sure that he felt the same way about her. They had some rough times, but she was absolutely devoted to him. I think she’s a very interesting person who was, in some ways, completed by Tracy. He was not reluctant to tell her to shut up.” The Milwaukee-born Tracy is considered an actor’s actor, who won two Academy Awards, one for playing a vibrant Portuguese fisherman in 1937’s “Captains Courageous,”theotherforportrayingthe noble Father Flanagan in 1938’s “Boys Town.” He moved effortlessly between comedies such as1950’s “Father of the Bride” and dramas suchas1961’s“JudgmentatNuremberg.” He even did a horror movie: 1941’s “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” But Tracy was beset with demons, including a drinking problem and guilt over his marital affairs and that his son, John Tracy, was born deaf. Susie Tracy is thrilled that Curtis’ book offers new insights into her mother, who stayed married to Tracy for more than 40 years and founded the John Tracy Clinic for thedeaf.“Hedidn’tmeetMissHepburn until 1942,” she said. “There were many years before that where a lot went on that people should know about.” Her mother, who had been an accomplished actress and polo player,“coulddoalmostanything,”said Tracy. “She was also a writer. She wrote some lovely poetry.” Tracy said that her dad was very much like the charming, devoted father of Elizabeth Taylor in “Father of the Bride” and 1951’s “Father’s Little Dividend.” “Hehadasenseofhumor,”Tracy remarked. “He was funny. He always had a joke at the dinner table. He told a joke wonderfully.” It was director-producer Stanley Kramer who gave Tracy a splashy final act, casting him in1960’s “Inherit the Wind,” “Judgment at Nuremberg,” 1963’s “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” (after which he had a massive heart attack) and 1967’s “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” (the frail 67-year-old Tracy died just two weeks after its completion). Katharine Houghton, Hepburn’s niece, who costars in “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner,” recalls that her aunt was a “basket case” during the production of “Dinner” because of Tracy’s failing health. “I think they both wanted to do the movie,” said Houghton, who had known Tracy since she was little. “They thought it was an important film, and they loved Stanley Kramer. I think they felt that, ’OK. It’s better than just sitting around waiting to die. Let’s try it.’ I think it did prolong Spencer’s life by several months because he had to meet the challenge.”

GRAZE THE TALLGRASS PRAIRIE STRONG CITY, Kan. — It’s easy to envision the world that pioneers encountered while looking at a herd of bison grazing at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in east-central Kansas. Little has changed over the decades on the landscape of the only national park dedicated to protecting this dwindling ecosystem, which once covered 40 percent of the United States. Today, less than 4 percent remains of the original tallgrass prairie. Most of what’s left is in the Flint Hills of eastern Kansas and the Osage Hills of northeastern Oklahoma. Patches of the prairie are burned in the spring, and the early growth offers vibrant shows of wildflowers. By September and October, visitors can walk among grasses that reach chest high in damp years. But after a blistering summer with little rain, this year’s show of foliage is knee-high in all but the wettest areas. The ground was too rocky to plow in this stretch of the Flint Hills, so named for a type of quartz that litters the ground. And so this nearly 11,000-acre patch was saved — a landscape created through a combination of limited rainfall, grazing and fires that routinely sweep across the land. Only a few trees survive these conditions, and they grow mainly along the springs that dot the area. Early explorers called the landscape the “Great American Desert.” But later settlers realized the land was fertile and tilled the fields. And so it mostly disappeared. Homogenous fields of corn, wheat, soybeans and a type of grain sorghum called Milo replaced the prairie that once teemed with hundreds of species of plants like switchgrass and blue sage. “So what was seen as a hazard for settlers 150 years ago is a benefit for us now,” said Eric Patterson, the lead park ranger. On the mostly unplowed prairie that became the park nearly 15 years ago, early settlers made use of the land much the same way as American Indians before them. But instead of hunting the millions of buffalo that once grazed upon the prairie, the settlers made use of the land to fatten cattle. One early rancher grew so wealthy he used the area’s limestone to build a grand four-level ranch home and barn on the land in the 1880s. A new visitor’s center is under construction, but for now, most of the 23,000 visitors that

Bus tours — the only way to drive through the park — are usually offered once or twice a day and last about 90 minutes. Patterson hands out binoculars so visitors can get a closer look at a herd of16 bison during one stop on the bumpy trip. All but the babies were captured two years ago at Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota and relocated here. At another stop on a high point that challenges Kansas’ flat-as-apancake reputation, visitors can glimpse views of rolling hills that stretch out 15 to 20 miles in any direction. Lizards and skinks scamper among the rocks. Butterflies flit among the flowers, and crickets chirp. “It’s kind of a cerebral,” Patterson muses. “It’s one of those environments that challenges you to reach out for it. It’s almost like it wants you to be a part of its discovery. You have to look close or it’s not going to really tell you much.” After the hazy skies of summer are replaced with clear, fall skies, visitors can catch stunning views of the stars, far away from the city lights. While the ranch house and barn close in the evening, the trails are open 24 hours a day. No camping is allowed in the park, but there is camping available nearby or visitors can choose fancier digs such as the Grand Central Hotel in nearby Cottownwood Falls. “It’s very serene,” Amber Smyers, 26, a Kansas native who lives in Seattle, said after the bus tour ended. Her friend, Jessica Cutting, 27, also of Seattle, had visited numerous national parks — from littleknown ones in Alaska to the pop-

ular destination of Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. “It was pretty,” she said. “I think there is beauty in everything.” But this isn’t the typical national park experience, the rangers readily acknowledge. There are no stunning mountain views, canyons or waterfalls to behold. Much of the magic is underground, where the plant’s roots reach 15 to 25 feet into the soil. As awareness grew that the land was unique, Congress voted in November 1996 to create the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve. There was resistance to the move from residents who feared federal intrusion and that the land would be taken off the tax rolls. Landowners put up signs reading, “Private Land in Private Hands” and “Say No to National Parks.” Former U.S. Sen. Nancy Landon Kassebaum came up with the idea of a public-private partnership. The National Park Service owns just 34 acres of the land; the bulk is owned by the Nature Conservancy, an environmental group, that han-
