HAZLETON – The dream has been realized. With restoration complete, the Castle on the Hill stands, once again, as a source of pride for the community that fought to save it. After years of neglect, a grass-roots effort to save it from demolition resulted in its rebirth.

Student share of college costs Money for student subsidies has declined, so college students are picking up a larger share of total costs.

Report: Colleges cutting spending while upping tuition

Students sharing the costs By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

Times Leader graphic/Mark Guydish

College students have been hit by a financial double whammy, the car-crash equivalent of getting T-boned on both sides at the same time. A new analysis by a nonprofit research group says the sour economy has led to cuts in public funding and private donations at the same time tuition has surged. The upshot: Students are paying a bigger chunk of the total cost of their education; in some cases, much bigger, especially at public colleges, and especially in community colleges. This holds true locally, according to data from the organization

From 2004 to 2009 (the latest available data): • The average, per-pupil subsidy helping Luzerne County Community College offset costs for students dropped from $7,207 to $3,574, while net per-pupil tuition rose from $3,643 to $5,952.

MEETINGS Board discusses Meyers roof leaks

WILKES-BARRE – Leaks in the Meyers High School roof have been fixed just in time for the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board to mull expensive repairs to leaks in a water main buried under the basement floor. At Wednesday’s combined work session and regular meeting, Project Manager Gary Salijko from the Apollo Group Inc. – the company overseeing repairs – announced that lengthy roof and parapet repairs are done. He then talked of a water leak contractors have struggled to locate for months. Devices designed to find leaks by sound detected what “we believe is a large leak” and some smaller leaks in the line inside the school, Salijko said. Repairs would be difficult because the line is so old and the leak may actually be relieving pressure on other fragile parts of the system.

Salijko suggested abandoning tural zone, which accounts for the existing line and installing a about 70 to 80 percent of townnew water main above ground ship land. in the school. Pressed for an Sarah Hite estimate, he said it could run "$100,000 to $200,000." Mark Guydish

LAKE TWP. – Supervisors on Wednesday night discussed the status of a washed out bridge and announced that the Salansky Marcellus Shale natural gas well, on Zosh Road, has been plugged. Barney Dobinick, emergency management coordinator, said the bridge between Route 29 and East Sorber Mountain washed completely out days following Tropical Storm Lee. The section of road is closed at this point and residents in that area are being detoured over another bridge. Dobinick said the bridge collapsed after sustaining damage from the storm. He was told by Joe Gibbons, Luzerne County engineer, it would cost about $300,000 to replace the state owned bridge. Dobinick estimates the bridge will not be replaced before winter. Eileen Godin

LUZERNE – The borough council meeting Wednesday night opened up with a clash between council members Kurt Santayana and Judy Gober over the format of the monthly finance reports. Santayana had asked that the reports, which come from the office of private Luzerne-based accountant Bill Balavage, be printed to show expenses, revenue and the amount initially budgeted for the various budget items at several of the past monthly council meetings. Gober had countered by asking Santayana to personally meet with Balavage in order to discuss his preferred formatting.

Commonwealth Medical College opens Scranton building

Science facility dedicated

By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – The Commonwealth Medical College has a new home in downtown Scranton. The college dedicated its $115-million Medical Sciences Building on Pine Street Saturday. “This building is wonderful. It represents so much,” Interim President and Dean Dr. Lois Nora said at the dedication ceremony. “It springs forth from solid foundations. It has already changed the landscape and it screams out proudly that TCMC is here and is pointing towards the future.” The 183,000-square-foot building, constructed on a 3-acre property for-

merly owned by the Scranton School District, is divided into two wings, one primarily housing classroom space and the other housing laboratories. It features a 250-seat auditorium and two 160-seat lecture halls, 24 smallgroup teaching rooms, 35 medical research laboratories and a clinical skills and simulation center where students can practice their diagnosis skills in a simulated hospital setting. The building broke ground in 2009, the same year the medical school opened in space borrowed from Lackawanna College. Former state Sen. Robert Mellow, who helped obtain a $35 million state grant to start construction of the facility, said that in addition to bettering the

health of area residents, the medical school will contribute to the economic revitalization of the surrounding community. “You’re looking at one facility in downtown Scranton,” Mellow said. “Twenty years from now there’s going to be plenty more facilities in downtown Scranton, and the person who’s really going to benefit from that is the mayor of Scranton, because in every place in this country where you have a medical school, you have a booming economy. You don’t need a medical school to have PETE G.

Casey backs lower rates for fed loans U.S. senator seeking reduced disaster relief loan interest rates for small businesses. By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON – Sen. Bob Casey is joining the legislative push to lower interest rates on some federal disaster relief loans. In the wake of the recent storm-related flooding that swept through much of Northeastern Pennsylvania, Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, proposed lowering disaster loan interest rates charged by the federal government. Casey, a Democrat from Scranton, Friday unveiled legislation aimed at helping small businesses recover after disasters. Casey’s bill would cap federal Small Business Administration disaster loan interest rates at 1 percent for businesses that do not have other available credit and 3 percent for businesses that do have access to other credit. His legislation also would apply retroactively to loans made nationwide since Hurricane Irene swept up the coast. “These residents have suffered an economic disaster and now a natural disaster,” Casey said in a statement. “We need to do everything we can to help them get back on their feet, reopen their businesses and start hiring again. This bill is a common-sense step to help our communities recover.” Casey in September wrote a letter to the SBA urging it to take action itself to lower interest rates, but that hasn’t happened yet. Barletta has introduced legislation to cap the rate of federal low-interest recovery loans for both small business owners and homeowners at one percent, across the board, with the one percent interest rate serving to pay the government’s administrative costs. Currently, homeowners pay up to 2.6 percent and small business owners from 4 percent to 6 percent on federal disaster recovery loans, depending on whether they have access to another type of loan. Barletta’s bill doesn’t currently make the one percent cap retroactive, but Barletta spokesman Shawn Kelly said Friday the lawmaker is working to add a clause to his legislation making the one percent interest rate “available to all victims of presidentially declared disasters” dating back to Jan. 1 2011. Barletta took to the House floor earlier this month to argue the case for his legislation. “This bill would not cause the government to spend any additional money. It would mean the federal government takes in less in interest from disaster recovery loans,” Barletta said. “But can anyone honestly say that providing disaster recovery loans for American homeowners and American businesses should be a moneymaking operation?” Casey also has addressed homeowners’ disaster recovery needs. He wrote Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner in September, asking the administration to grant Pennsylvania’s request to allow owners of low-income housing tax credit projects in the state to use vacant units to provide temporary housing to individuals forced from their homes in declared disaster areas.

NANTICOKE – More than 150 vendors from across the region displayed their wares at Luzerne County Community College’s 22nd annual Alumni Association Fall Craft Festival on Saturday. The event featured sweet treats made by the college’s pastry art students, food vendors, raffles, a custom car and truck show and children’s entertainment. Some of the unique items for sale included hand-turned wood and deer antler pens, melted wine bottles reshaped into cheese trays, silver cutlery repurposed into jewelry, and teacup birdfeeders. Lynn Elko, owner of Emma’s Friends Soaps and Lotions, carefully stacked

bars of fragrant hand-cut soap on a table. Her company is named after her daughter, Emma, who was born with multiple disabilities nine years ago. After Emma was born, Elko, of West Hazleton, said she began making soaps and other personal care items for her daughter’s therapists. Her hobby has since blossomed into a business that helps others with special needs. The soaps, lip balms and other products in the line are made by individuals with disabilities. Carrying a giant wooden snowman to her car, Theresa Parker of White Haven said she attends the craft fair every year. “I look forward to this all year,” she said. “This is my treat to myself, but I always spend too much.”

PITTSTON – The soothing sounds of dozens of harmonizing male voices filled the air at Wesley Village Saturday during a vocal clinic sponsored by the Wyoming Valley Harmony Society. The clinic was open to men of all ages who wanted to become better singers, whether professionally or just in the shower. Many of the men in attendance are members of the society, a group of about 30 barbershop singers, who perform year-round for a number of public and private events. Bill Zdancewicz has been singing with the Wyoming Valley Harmony Society for more than 50 years. He recalled a time when his chorus sang for residents at a local nursing home. As he sang, he noticed an elderly woman in a wheelchair mouthing the words to the song. Later he learned that

the woman, who had been despondent for some time, had recognized the song and was trying to sing along. “It was so touching,” he said. “We enjoy what we do and we love to see how much they enjoy it too.” Drew Smith of West Pittston, who serves as president of the society, said a friend encouraged him to join years ago. Smith, who’s been a member for 23 years, said he’s having the time of his life. “It’s fun and it’s a

great hobby, but I’m sad that I didn’t join 40 years ago,” he said. “I was working shift work and just could never find the time. Now I sing everywhere I can. I just can’t stop.” The Wyoming Valley Harmony Society will hold another vocal clinic on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Irene Raeder Community Building at Wesley Village. For more information, call (570) 6963385.

The Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Domestic Relations Section, with the exception of the Master’s Division, will return to the Bernard J. Brominski building, 113 W. North Street, on Monday.

WILKES-BARRE

Candidates forum is set

The Downtown Residents Association will host a forum Monday night so that voters can learn about the 28 candidates for Luzerne County Council. Organizer Pat Parks said the county council election is historic because of the change in form of government to home rule, eliminating commissioners and putting leadership and policy making in the hands of the Parks council and a hired manager. Parks, coordinator of the association, Eileen Kenyon and Judy Barr are serving as a three-person committee for the event set for the Henry Student Center, 84. W. South St., from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Candidates will arrive between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. and the forum will begin at 7 p.m. and run until 9 p.m. The Times Leader is co-sponsoring the event. Wes Parks, Pat’s husband, will serve as moderator. Each candidate will be given 2 to 3 minutes to state their case why voters should choose them, Parks said. After the presentations, questions will be asked and each candidate will respond. Parking is available in the center’s parking loot. For more information, call 826-0410. WILKES-BARRE

Group stages Sterling rally

A half dozen protesters from the group Save Our Sterling staged a “Last Hope Rally” Saturday afternoon at the corner of West Market Street and River Street across from the crumbling Hotel Sterling. Organizers of the group, which has staged similar protests outside the hotel for the past year, said they recognize that the chance to save and restore the hotel has likely passed, as engineers have declared it a safety hazard and the city has marked it for demolition as soon as it can find a way to pay for it. But they staged the rally to point a finger at those who allowed the Sterling to deteriorate to its present condition. Protesters clutched placards reading “Corruption destroyed our Sterling” and “Thanks for nothing CityVest,” a reference to the building’s nonprofit owner, CityVest Corporation, which unsuccessfully sought to market the building for private redevelopment. HAZLETON

The Greater Hazleton Health Alliance will conduct its annual, "Food for the Fight-A Breast Cancer Survivor/ Awareness Event’’ (formerly known as "Food the Cure") on Thursdayat 6p.m. The free light fare dinner, and cooking demonstrations, will be held at the Hilltop Café, lower level, at the Hazleton General Hospital, 700 E.

Food and eating recommendations for cancer patients, designed specifically for the side effects of cancer treatments and to build up a patient’s strength, will be given. A cancer patient’s nutrition recommendations are different because they are designed to help build up strength and help the patient withstand the effects of cancer and its treatment.

U.S. strike kills nine militants

B R I E F

KANSAS CITY, MO.

Bishop cited in porn case

he first U.S. bishop criminally charged with sheltering an abusive T clergyman has been accused of failing

to protect children after he and his diocese waited five months to tell police about hundreds of images of child pornography discovered on a priest’s computer, authorities said. Bishop Robert Finn and the Kansas City-St. Joseph Catholic Diocese have pleaded not guilty on one count each of failing to report suspected child abuse, officials said Friday. Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said Finn and the diocese were required under state law to report the discovery to police because the images gave them reason to believe a child had been abused. Finn faces a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor. The diocese also faces a $1,000 fine.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN

Militants assault U.S. base

Militants tried to blast their way into an American base in eastern Afghanistan on Saturday, striking before dawn with rocket-propelled grenades and a car bomb. All four attackers were killed as well as two truck drivers parked nearby, said provincial Police Chief Gen. Mohammad Qasim Jangalbagh. Two Afghan security guards were wounded. The militants failed to breach the gate of the base in Panjshir province’s Rakha district, though they did hit a security tower with a rocket-propelled grenade. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in an AP text message.

High-profile airstrike kills al-Qaida members, including son of Anwar al-Awlaki. By HAMZA HENDAWI Associated Press

Protests take violent turn in Rome By ALESSANDRA RIZZO and MEERA SELVA Associated Press

ROME — Italian riot police fired tear gas and water cannons Saturday in Rome as violent protesters hijacked a peaceful demonstration against corporate greed, smashing bank windows, torching cars and hurling bottles. Elsewhere, hundreds of thousands nicknamed “the indignant” marched without incident in cities across Europe, as the “Occupy Wall

Street” protests linked up with long-running demonstrations against European governments’ austerity measures. Heavy smoke billowed in downtown Rome as a small group broke away and wreaked havoc in streets close to the Colosseum in clashes that left about two dozen injured. Clad in black with their faces covered, protesters threw rocks, bottles and incendiary devices at banks and Rome police in riot gear.

With clubs and hammers, they destroyed bank ATMs, set trash bins on fire and assaulted at least two news crews from Sky Italia. Riot police charged the protesters repeatedly, firing water cannons and tear gas. More than 20 people were injured, according to news reports, including one man who tried to stop the protesters from throwing bottles. TV footage showed one young woman with blood covering her face.

SANAA, Yemen — The United States has raised the tempo in its war against al-Qaida in Yemen, killing nine of the terror group’s militants in the second, high-profile airstrike in as many weeks. The dead in the late Friday night strike included the son of Anwar al-Awlaki, the prominent American-Yemeni militant killed in a Sept. 30 strike. Yemeni officials on Saturday attributed the recent U.S. successes against al-Qaida to better intelligence from an army of Yemeni informers and cooperation with the Saudis, Washington’s longtime Arab allies. The successes come even as Yemen falls deeper into turmoil, with President Ali Abdullah Saleh clinging to power in the face of months of massive protests. Saturday saw the worst bloodshed in weeks in the capital, Sanaa: At least18 people were killed when Saleh’s troops fired on protesters and clashed with rivals. Witnesses estimated up to

300,000 people joined Saturday’s demonstrations, the largest in the capital in several months. “Everyone with interests in Yemen, including al-Qaida and the Americans, is raising the stakes at this time of uncertainty” said analyst Abdul-Bari Taher. “The Americans are wasting no time to try and eliminate the al-Qaida threat before the militants dig in deeper and cannot be easily dislodged.” Also dead in the Friday airstrike in the southeastern province of Shabwa was Egyptianborn Ibrahim al-Banna, identified by the nation’s Defense Ministry as the media chief of the Yemeni branch of the al-Qaida. Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, as the branch is known, is considered by the U.S. the most dangerous of the terror network’s affiliates after it plotted two recent failed attacks on American soil. Its fighters and other Islamic militants have taken advantage of Yemen’s chaos to seize control of several cities and towns in a southern province.

Cookoff winner is queen

Gerri Vickers’ family recipe crowned best of the mountain in annual chili competition. By B. GARRET ROGAN Times Leader Correspondent

MOUNTAIN TOP – The 4th Annual King of the Mountain Chili Cookoff at the Christ United Methodist Church crowned a queen this year as Gerri Vickers was judged to have made the best batch of chili. Last year, the event, organized by the Church’s Men’s Group, raised $400 for the Mountain Top Free Health Clinic at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. Although Saturday’s weather may have hampered attendance, the group still hopes to raise around $300 in donations this year. Contestants had to contribute a $10 entry fee while tasters donated $5. “I consider chili to be a staple American food for fall weather,” said Dwayne Sherksnas of Mountain Top, one of the event’s principal organizers. Sherksnas, who placed fourth for his entry, pointed out that chili started as a food of convenience for Texas cowboys running cattle but has evolved into a national comfort food. He roughly follows the same

recipe each time he makes his chili but adjusts it according to taste so that it comes out different each time. “The hottest chili is not the best chili,” he said. He instead looks for a certain balance of spices and heat. Vickers, also of Mountain Top, said that she looks for a gentle and pleasing aftertaste. “Something that stays with you,” she said. She won using a family recipe that she learned from her grand-

mother. She was surprised to have received the most votes. She was undecided whether to attend this year’s event due to the passing of her father-in-law, Cesco Omer Vickers Jr., who died earlier in the week at the age of 80. David Coates, also of Mountain Top, placed second with his chili. “I look for a certain blend of sweet and hot,” he said. “I like to go beyond the norm,” Coates said. To sweeten his chili this year, he added carrots, buckwheat honey and raisins.

POLICE BLOTTER ASHLEY – State police said a man showed the handle of a revolver tucked in the waistband of his pants and robbed the S&J Grocery & Deli on Ashley Street around 8:45 p.m. Saturday. The man grabbed an undetermined amount of money from the cash register and fled on foot. The gunman was described as white, between 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-10 in height and weighing approximately 180 pounds. He wore a black hooded top and had a dark blue bandana partially covering his face. Anyone with information about the armed robbery is asked to contact state police in Wyoming at 570 697-2000. WILKES-BARRE – City police reported the following: • Nicholas Biros, 23, will be charged with simple assault and resisting arrest after he allegedly punched a police officer who responded to a domestic disturbance call Friday night at 32 McFarland St. Police said Biros refused to comply with police orders to stop acting disorderly and had to be subdued. He was taken for a mental health evaluation. • Police arrested and charged James Monroe, 38, of South Franklin Street, with driving under the influence Saturday. Police said they found Monroe

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com sleeping at the wheel of his vehicle at the traffic light at the intersection of South Main Street and Blackman Street at 1:44 a.m. A breath test found his blood alcohol level to be above the legal limit of .08 percent, police said. • Police arrested and charged Hector Adrian Reyes-Garcia, 36, of Hanover Township, on driving under the influence charges Friday, police said. Police said they stopped Reyes-Garcia at the intersection of South Franklin and Horton streets after he was allegedly observed committing traffic violations. A breath test found his blood alcohol level to be above the legal limit of .08 percent, police said. Police said Reyes-Garcia had a 3-year-old passenger in the car, who was turned over to a responsible sober adult. Police said they checked with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency because Reyes-Garcia was unable to produce local identification. The check resulted in ReyesGarcia being detained relative to deportation proceedings, police said. • Matthew Cienciva of Old East Road said he was fixing his car at the corner of South Welles Street and Rose Lane at 9:09 p.m. Friday when two black males approached him, showed handguns and demanded money. Cienciva said he handed over cash and prescrip-

tion drugs and the men fled the scene. Police said investigation is continuing. • Khalif Wiggins was arrested Thursday on a warrant for an alleged burglary and home invasion in Plymouth. Wiggins was taken into custody at apartment 420 of building 308 in the Sherman Hills apartment complex. He was in possession of crack cocaine and other charges are pending, police said. HANOVER TWP. – Township police reported the following: • Heather Tolodzieski, 21, of Apollo Circle, Nanticoke, was arrested Friday on a charge of retail theft. Employees of the Gerrity’s Supermarket on the Sans Souci Parkway saw her take $89 in food from the store without paying for the items. She was arraigned by District Judge Diana Malast in Plains Township and released on $5,000 bail. Tolodzieski has a preliminary hearing before District Judge Joseph Halesey in Hanover Township at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday. • Charges are pending against Conway Taltoan, 40, of Hazle Street, in connection with the assault of Cindy Sincavage, 28, of Grove Street, Pringle. Sincavage said she was visiting a friend in the 400 block of Marion Terrace apartments around 1 a.m. Friday when the assault occurred. Charges will be filed against Taltoan pending the outcome of Sincavage’s medical records.

She was a graduate of St. Nicholas High School and was a member of St. Nicholas Church, South Washington Street, WilkesBarre, and its Altar and Rosary Society. Gertrude was employed as a seamstress at L.A. Dress and Harris Hogan in Wilkes-Barre. She enjoyed going to ceramics with her daughter and crocheting afghans for family members. She loved doing crossword puzzles, watching sports and, above all else, spending time with her family. She was so proud of them all and especially looked forward to visits from her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Gertrude touched the lives of everyone she met, becoming a mother figure, and offering kind words of support and encouragement. She lived her life with grace and dignity; her life was an example of how to treat others. She was a genuine and compassionate woman who always was there with an open heart. She was preceded in death by her husband, Alexander C. Miscavage; by her brother, Frederick Witzigman; and by sisters, Frances Eckert, Margaret Wilsch, Elizabeth Gildea, Catherine Baran and Ruth Keller. Gertrude is survived by her children, Geraldine Conrad and her husband, Raymond, Dallas; Richard Miscavage and his wife, Denise, Lehman Township, and Paula Miscavage, Dallas; grandchildren, Ray Conrad Jr., and his wife, Cathy; Shawn Conrad and his wife, Susan; Sherri Matus and her husband, Jus-

tin; Stacie Adamski and her husband, David; Jason Miscavage and his wife, Maura; Isaiah Miscavage, Marissa Miscavage and Jeffrey Buscher. She is also survived by a brother, Harold Witzigman, New Jersey; as well as many nieces and nephews. Our family would like to extend our most heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the entire staff of the Mercy Center Nursing Unit for the love and care they provided to our mother. Gertrude will be remembered by those who knew and loved her as being a loving and caring mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and aunt; as well as a great friend to all who knew her. She will be sadly missed. Funeral services will be held at 9 a.m. Tuesday from the Nat & Gawlas Funeral Home, 89 Park Ave., Wilkes-Barre, with a funeral Mass at 9:30 a.m. in St. Nicholas Church, 226 S. Washington St., WilkesBarre. Interment will be in Mount Greenwood Cemetery, Shavertown. Friends may call from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday at the funeral home.

By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

While a new report shows local college students are bearing a bigger chunk of the total cost for their education, the Delta Costs Project collects and analyzes a mother lode of information comparing colleges and universities. Mining that lode shows most area institutions have something to crow about. For example, from 2004 to 2009, King’s College saw the biggest increase, percentagewise, in spending on public ser-

was a critical part of a complete education. During his tenure the school launched a Hispanic outreach program and opened the Shoval Center for Community Engagement and Learning. O’Hara’s successor, the Rev. John Ryan, holds the same conviction. Last Tuesday King’s announced a new program to have college students mentor non-violent juvenile offenders. “We couldn’t get a grant for that, but we’re going to go ahead with it.” Ryan said. “If we’re going to err, we’re going to err on the side of public service.” Wilkes University had the bigment among schools more accurate -- rose here from 8.6 percent at LCCC to 28.8 percent at Wilkes.

cent. • This occurred even as total spending on “education and related” services dropped, from $10,850 per pupil to $9,526. • Other local institutions saw a similar pattern, though in smaller increments. At Wilkes University, the student share of total cost climbed from 83.5 percent to 87.4 percent; at King’s College it went from 75.1 percent to 87.8 percent -- the biggest jump locally other than LCCC; at Misericordia University it rose from 86 percent to 92.2 percent. The average subsidy dropped in every local school as well. • As with LCCC, most local institutions raised tuition while cutting spending on education and related services, with decreases ranging from 1.4 percent at Wilkes to 6.3 percent at King’s. Misericordia was the lone local exception, increasing E&R spending per pupil by 4.3 percent. • All of this happened as colleges and universities both nationally and locally saw enrollment boom. Total enrollment here increased by anywhere from 6.1 percent at LCCC to 34.4 percent at Wilkes. “Full-Time Equivalent” enrollment -- a measure that tries to make comparison of full-time and part-time enroll-

‘Paying more for less’ “Almost everywhere, rising student tuition revenues did not translate into greater education and related spending, so students were paying for more while institutions were subsidizing less,” the authors of the Delta Project report wrote. “This gap between prices and spending raises troubling questions about the sustainability of the funding model for the future and is the source of growing public and policy critiques of higher education.” LCCC offers only two-year (or even shorter) programs and handles a high rate of part-time and non-traditional (adult) students, many working toward trades like plumbing they can’t learn at traditional four-year institutions. So sizing it up against private fouryear and master’s degree colleges is a bit like comparing grapes to watermelons – they all may be institutions of higher learning with classrooms, instructors and students, but that’s where most similarities end.

gest increase in graduation rate among area colleges from 2004 to 2009. It also had the smallest per pupil tuition increase in that time, and the smallest decrease in subsidies for students. Wilkes spokeswoman Vicki Mayk credited those trends to a focus on shifting “resources from administrative areas to our faculty and students.” In particular, she cited the

new “one-stop operation for student services,” a consolidation of financial aid, student records and other administrative functions. Mayk noted the improvements came at a time of rapid enrollment growth. Wilkes was recently listed as one of the fastest growing institutions in the region by The Chronicle of Higher Education, a claim sup-

doesn’t fare well in some key measures. It had the biggest drop, percentage-wise, in subsidies and the second-biggest increase in net tuition while cutting instruction spending more than any of the others, according to Delta Project data. LCCC President Tom Leary said he was surprised when he saw the Delta Project data analyzed by The Times Leader. “We held the line on tuition for two consecutive years,” Leary said. “We might be one of the very few colleges in the state that did that. I know we’re the only community college in the state to do that.”

Accounting changes Those two years would have occurred after the 2009 data available from the Delta Project website. But Leary also said he believes LCCC’s apparent spike in student share of total cost may be a matter of accounting changes. “I asked my finance people to analyze this,” Leary said. “They found that there were different variables included in the 2004 report that were not included in the 2009 report.” More exactly, he explained, data related to depreciation and federal grants were shifted under dif-

ported by Delta Project data. In the five-year period reviewed, total enrollment climbed by 34 percent. Misericordia University was the only area institution that increased – rather than decreased – the amount spent per pupil on education and related services. The increase from 2004 to 2009 was modest – 4.3 percent – but still unusual. President Michael MacDowell said judicious enrollment growth helped make that possible. “If you keep costs essentially the same and grow the student body, there are more tuitionpaying students, and so the cost per student is lower,” MacDowell said. The news isn’t all good. As at LCCC, students at King’s, Mi-

sericordia and Wilkes are paying a larger share of the total cost than they did in 2004. And all local colleges cut the money spent per pupil on operations and maintenance, though Ryan, MacDowell, Mayk and LCCC President Tom Leary all insisted those cuts did not come at the expense of necessary upkeep. Ryan and others noted the wealth of data helps keep colleges accountable, even as they compete for students by trying to provide modern, attractive amenities. “If people buy a car they do a lot of research. People buy an education once in a lifetime,” MacDowell said. “The more information they have, the better.”

ferent bookkeeping categories from 2009 on. This occurred because of changes in rules promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, an independent agency that sets the way government-funded entities do their books. GASB rules do not have the force of law, but auditors look for compliance to GASB, and failure to comply can lead to a loss of state and federal funding. Leary said changes made for 2009 to comply with new GASB rules shifted several million dollars that had been counted toward instruction costs. This could account for the sharp

changes in Delta Project Data, which is derived from information LCCC annually provides to the federal government through the “Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System,” or IPEDS. “If we calculate using the same variables from 2004 to 2009,” Leary said, “there is no decrease in investment per pupil.” Likewise, he added, the student share of total cost remains the same – or drops slightly.

ments were made to harmonize and standardize the data as much as possible, to account for changes over time in accounting standards and IPEDS reporting formats.” The data also is adjusted to account for inflation. But Delta Project also warns its online data “is good enough for comparisons over time and other areas,” but not detailed enough to judge “relative cost-effectiveness of different academic or administrative functions” within a college or university. All of which mattered about as much as vinyl music albums to LCCC students interviewed on campus during a recent warm October afternoon. “It’s only a two-year program,” Jim Walsh of Wilkes-Barre said of his effort to earn certification in plumbing, heating, air conditioning and ventilation. If students are paying a bigger chunk now than in 2004, few would notice the change because they only enrolled after 2009. “What’s the tuition at Wilkes?” Brandon Swendson asked, noting he had moved to Nanticoke from Tyler Hill just so he could pay the in-county tuition at LCCC while earning a plumbing and HVAC certification. Even with rent, he said, LCCC is the best deal around. The two estimated they will

Travis said that students who received learning support services in high school – someone helping take notes, for example – often continue to get that support at LCCC. Travis said LCCC provides a low-cost alternative for students like her seeking four-year degrees. She is earning an associate degree in early education and plans to carry those credits to a four-year institution like Misericordia, where she can earn a bachelor’s and become a licensed

teacher. She could not afford to take all four years at Misericordia, she added. Bill Femea also praised the school, noting he earned an associate’s in communication last August but, when told by employers he needed experience to land a job, was given a chance to do some “work study” at LCCC this year. He offered a reason the Delta Project data is irrelevant to many students: “This school wants you to succeed in life.”

Many fought to save old high school, restore auditorium The structure itself reopened in 2007, but extra money was needed to refurbish theater. By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

Constructed in 1926, Hazleton High School was the first million-dollar school to be built in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, boasting oak doors, marble floors and skylights. But by 1998, the school was scheduled for demolition. Known locally as “the Castle on the Hill,” because of its gothic style and fortress-like appearance, the building had fallen into disrepair. Members of the Hazleton Area School Board said it was beyond repair and unsafe for students. Plans were made for demolition, but the school board was met with loud community

opposition. Local contractor and school alumnus Tom Gabos was one of many who spoke against the plan and later worked with Bobby Tombasco to keep the structure safe and the elements out while the building was essentially abandoned by the board for about six years. Several others in the Hazleton area were key in the fight to prevent the building’s demolition, Gabos said, including Michael Greco Jr., the late school director Gil Degenhart, who led the Committee to Save the Castle, and the late Hazleton Historical Society President Jean Gormley. “But it’s Mike Marsicano who is the true hero here,” he said. Marsicano, who was mayor of Hazleton at the time, said he and his father were both alumni of the school and his father had worked there as a plumber.

When he heard of the school board’s plans, he had a mason assess the school and was told it was structurally sound. Marsicano said that after he failed to “make any headway” with the school board and administration, he went to a school board meeting and announced he would not issue a demolition permit for the structure. “That building is a foundation of this community, just like the train station (that was demolished in the 1970s),” Marsicano said. And now that it’s fully restored, “it’s magnificent. I think it’s the center of the community.” Gabos and Tombasco had made notes on who bought what at an auction the school board authorized at the school. With the help of Gormley, they eventually bought back items in hopes they could one day be restored.

The school board hired architect Vern McKissick in 2003 to design the renovation of the school and it re-opened in January 2007 as Hazleton Elementary-Middle School. But the district had run out of funding for the auditorium restoration. School directors Elaine Maddon Curry, Steve Hahn and Carmella Yenkevich spearheaded a movement to turn the unfinished auditorium into a community arts center and, in 2007, the Castle Fund was established. Many in the community participated in fundraising efforts. Naming rights came through a $100,000 donation from Allan Werst, nephew of the late Hazleton High School art teacher Alice C. Wiltsie. A donation also came from Wiltsie’s son, Dr. John Wiltsie. The committee raised more than $600,000 and state and federal grants secured by for-

Seats in the recently completed Alice C. Wiltsie Performing Arts Center, located at the Hazleton Elementary-Middle School, are expected to be filled for a dedication and concert on Oct. 23 and a concert by the band Chicago on Nov. 27. A $1 million state grant, a $300,000 federal grant and more than a half million dollars in donations enabled the auditorium to be restored to near original condition and with the luxuries that new technology has to offer. The rest of the structure, known as ‘the Castle on the Hill,’ had undergone a $24 million facelift that resulted in the building opening its doors to students in January 2007, but the school district had run out of funding to restore the auditorium.

Gabos and friend Bobby Tombasco had been known as the Castle Keepers for years, keeping broken windows boarded up and water from entering the building’s badly leaking roof from the time the school district decided to raze the building in 1998 until reconstruction began about six years later.

“This is so great to work in a new theater. I’m so used to jerryrigging things. … The sound and light equipment is the most technologically advanced available. For the big acts and production companies, it’s like a candy store for them,” Garren said. And while equipment might be new, the ambience is reminiscent of the original 1928 auditorium. The heavy wood doors to the auditorium are original, as are the lighting fixtures at the rear of the building. The original box office door has been located in the building basement and will be incorporated into the movable box office that will be set up in the school lobby before performances. The front section of the stage is adjustable to three different heights and can be removed to accommodate an orchestra pit. And the new main curtain is a deep “Hazleton blue.” Original wall sconces Garren pointed out four original lighted wall sconces that had been retrieved, restored and remounted after being torn off the walls and carried off when the school board still intended to de-

molish the building and opened the doors for an auction so people could buy souvenirs. Gabos said the Wiltsie board hopes to raise money to have replicas made of the two sconces that could not be found. Garren predicts performers will enjoy the center as much as the audiences because of the new technology, the elegant ambience and the intimacy with the audience made possible by the size and set-up of the auditorium. As for the types of acts to be booked, Garren said it’s “a matter of economics. Could we book Johnny Mathis? Well, we could, but you’re going to pay $200 a ticket,” she said. The Hazleton area is fortunate to have the band Chicago playing there on Nov. 27, with tickets starting at $75 a pop. “I believe this is the smallest venue Chicago is playing on their tour,” she said. The Wiltise Center got lucky, she said, because a local supporter, Freeland native Jim Della Croce, works in the music industry and “knows the right people,” and because the band had a date open and is playing in New Jersey the preceding two days.

Major facelift The structure underwent a $24 million facelift that resulted in the building opening its doors to students in January 2007, but the school district had run out of funding to restore the auditorium, which had been a cultural centerpiece in the community since the school was built in1928. A $1 million state grant, a $300,000 federal grant and more than a half million dollars in donations enabled the auditorium to be restored to near original condition and with the luxuries that new technology has to offer. “We kind of have our own F.M. Kirby Center here in Hazleton,” Gabos said. Cindy Garren, whom the board hired as executive director, is enchanted with the venue, which boasts 774 seats, 10 wheelchair spaces and 12 companion seats on the main floor and another 355 seats in the balcony. “It’s very intimate. There’s not a bad seat in the house. Even if you sit in the very last row of the balcony, it’s still a really great view of the stage,” Garren said. Garren, of Nanticoke, brings a wealth of experience in the performing arts to her new position, having worked as executive director of the Bailey Concert Hall in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; spending a few years as cultural institutions evaluator for the Florida Department of State; serving as executive director of the Gold Coast Jazz Society in Fort Lauderdale; and serving as director of programming and audience development at the Scranton Cultural Center. She had been working as interim executive director of Troy Savings Bank Music Hall before starting at the Wiltsie Center in July.

Garren said she will work to get a wide variety of performers and she will work with the Hazleton Community Concert Association to complement the organization’s offerings. The venue will be available to other community organizations at reasonable fees,

she said. Garren said she is the only fulltime employee of the Wiltsie Center. Other than a part-time box office employee, everyone else involved in local productions and fundraising are volunteers. And because the school has use of

the auditorium on weekdays, the Wiltsie Center pays only token rent. “If the community supports this place by volunteering, buying tickets and attending shows, we can be here for 250 years,” she said.

rt and philanthropy came together in an unexpected fashion in the African nation of Burkina Faso. Pamela Pogash, 24, a pharmacist and graduate of Wilkes University, took a photograph of children who were among 598 villagers given medical and pharmaceutical aid through a medical mission and study-abroad trip. That photo and 59 others taken in various countries across Asia, the Americas, Europe and Africa were the subjects of a photocontestheldatWilkesearlierthismonth.Studentsand faculty submitted the photos accompanied with a brief description of their experiences abroad and how each came to take their picture. The “Colonels Abroad” photo contest was a collaboration between Godlove Fonjweng, director of global education and Andrew Miller, political science professor and adviser for the International Service Club.

MEET DONNA FARRELL CLARK VAN ORDEN /THE TIMES LEADER

onna Farrell is the senior vice president/regional manager for retail branch banking at Citizens Bank. Farrell, 41, is a graduate of Wyoming Valley West High School and studied business at Luzerne County Community College and the University of Phoenix. She and her husband, Mark, have three sons: Michael, 12, Jack, 9, and Nicholas, 5. They live in Dallas.

You previously worked in retail, and then got involved with in-store banking. Now, you oversee a wide area for a very large company. What do you enjoy the most about your work? “Impacting the people that work with me. I love managing. I love leading people. And the keywords that I always hear about myself as a leader is that I motivate and inspire. I get folks to love their job, because I love it. I had 300 branches at one point, and when I speak in front of a group, I feel like I connect with the audience. We have some fun. Banking doesn’t always have to be so serious ... I’ve had workshops or training sessions or seminars, talking about sales and how you treat the customer, and why it’s important to treat the customer well, and I always felt like people walked away feeling inspired and wanting to do more for

the bank and for the customer. That’s my passion.” Outside of work, how to do relax? “I love to cook out with friends and family and enjoy our pool, and really just spend time with our boys. They’re in different athletic activities — basketball, soccer and football — and I make it a priority to get to as many games as I can and enjoy it when I’m there.” Any hobbies or other interests? “I love to garden.” Music? “Dave Matthews and Steely Dan. And the kids and I also love pop music right now. We dance in the kitchen at night to whatever they’re listening to. Katy Perry is like a fixture in our household. Cobra Starship is on my iPod.” Your sons are very involved in sports. And when Citizens Bank Park opened in Philadelphia, you were very involved in starting some promotions there. What teams do you follow? “We are divided. My husband is a Mets fan, I’m a huge Phillies fan. During the first season at Citizens Bank Park, I was there for every game. And since we lived in Philly, I also had to be-

come an Eagles fan. But my husband is a Cowboys fan. My oldest son Michael loves the Eagles with me. My middle guy, Jack, likes the Cowboys. And Nick ... we’re working on. When we watch football, we have ‘the Eagles couch’ and ‘the Cowboys couch,’ and Nick’s right on the ottoman in the middle.” Favorite food? “Anything Italian. But in the summer, what I love the most is potato pancakes. When the bazaar season comes around, you can find me in the potato pancake line.” Favorite city? “Besides Wilkes-Barre, Philadelphia. I also really enjoyed New Orleans.” Favorite place to vacation? “Riviera Maya, Mexico.” Always in the fridge? “Diet green tea. And for the boys, Nardone Brothers Pizza.” Guilty pleasure? “Peanut M&M’s” Favorite movie? “I loved ‘Forrest Gump’ and ‘Terms of Endearment’ And anything that my boys like. We’ve watched ‘DespicSee MEET, Page 9B

Good intentions can sure take joy out of toys C

lutching my trusty revolver, I took stock of the situation. I was badly outnumbered, and I’d have to hit with all six of my shots. There’d be no time to reload — not with the fiendish gang of outlaws I was facing. I spotted them, sneaking out from cover, probably wondering where I was. Biding my time, as any good western hero would, I waited until they were all in the open. “Eat hot lead,” I shouted, leaping forth to confront the evil crew. They spun and turned toward me (I’d never shoot a man in the back), but I was too quick for them. Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Success. Not one managed to return fire. Taking a deep breath, I opened my six-gun and with some burning of my fingers pulled out the blackened disc cap as acrid smoke from the 49-cent Texas Jr. revolver wafted across Loomis Street. Within minutes my grade-school buddies and I were creating another scenario. This time I’d be a rustler of imaginary cattle and have to dodge the sheriff’s frontier justice there in the wilds of Rolling Mill Hill. Why do these old games pop into my mind today? With our local stores putting out their Christmas merchandise, you can imagine how saddened I was to read last week that the European Union has tightened still further its many regulations on toys that may be imported into its member countries. Talk about killjoys! The EU now demands that balloons be sold with labels warning parents not to let children younger than 8 blow them up without adult supervision. Stuffed animals must be treated to reduce germs. Small party favors face a host of thou-shalt-nots. As for toys that make noise, well, they’re not banned, but they can’t make as much noise as the ones granddaddy played with back in 1938. OK, nobody wants to see kids get hurt. Some regulations are vital. But I have this fantasy that the lords of the EU rush to the windows of their Brussels headquarters one day to see what all the commotion is in the street down below. To a man, they cry out in despair as they spy thousands of children from all over the world leaping from behind buildings amid ear-splitting volleys from cap guns smoking with the fires of Hades and shouts of “gotcha, ya dirty rat.” China, the source of many of the world’s toys, is said to be in a tizzy. So is the West. An online newsletter entitled “The New American” lamented that as Christmas approaches toy buyers in Europe and America will see “products being eliminated from the market” and price hikes for others as costs rise “to meet regulatory requirements.” I feel sorry for Europe. Imagine little Pierre and Marie charging down the Rue De-Something-or-Other and storming the Bastille with weapons so wimpy they wouldn’t even wake up King Louis XVI’s guards. Will there still be merriment in Manheim on Dec. 25 when young Karl and Sieglinde rush downstairs to discover that the fuzzy bears they wanted have been disinfected, shrink-wrapped and placed in permanent hibernation, courtesy of the EU? America is already partway down that slippery slope. Do children still shoot marbles (small, easily-swallowed objects)? Come to think of it, I don’t see many paint books and paint sets (poisonous chemicals) in the stores. And - good Lord — are Legos next? I hope you guys at the European Union are satisfied. A big seasonal “bah, humbug” to all of you.

Shipula is currently pursuing a careerinpharmacyasamemberof the class of 2012. “The pictures represent moments when our students, faculty and staff can reflect upon and appreciate all the learning that went onduringthetrip,”Fonjwengsaid. The option to study abroad at Wilkes is available to all students. The event’s photographs showed personal experiences, destinations and visuals that were but a fraction of the summer trip, semester or full academic year that the students and faculty spent abroad. “The pictures are a glimpse of the learning and discoveries,” Fonjweng said. Justin Balint, 23, of Hazleton, would agree. Balint spent a week providing care in an orphanage as well as teaching English in the DominicanRepublic.Hisphotograph of a Haitian woman crossing the Dominicanborderthroughasmall

our internationalization efforts and are designed to help our graduates seamlessly integrate in the global community,” Fonjweng said.

In the near future, the photos will be displayed online at www.wilkes.edu/abroad, throughout the Wilkes campus, and in the Wilkes Study Abroad Photo Book.

This Week Only INTERNATIONAL COIN COLLECTORS are in Wilkes-Barre! Paying Cash for all Coins and anything Gold or Silver! By KEN MCINTOSH STAFF WRITER ICCA will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1970. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialist. With the help of these ICCA members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1970. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1970 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot. If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors Association also known as ICCA. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICCA member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICCA and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1965 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sellers market he said. The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These

Rangers Cruz into Series Texas repeats as AL champs with 15-5 rout

By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

ARLINGTON, Texas — Nelson Cruz and the Texas Rangers are headed to their second straight World Series, finishing off the Detroit Tigers to become the American League’s first repeat champion in a decade. Cruz set a postseason record with his sixth home run of the se-

ries, Michael Young hit a pair of two-run doubles in a nine-run third inning, and the Rangers romped to a 15-5 win Saturday night that won the AL pennant in six games. They’ll open the World Series on Wednesday night at St. Louis or Milwaukee, seeking the first title in the history of a franchise that started play in 1961.

Penguins meet their goal of a better start, but cannot finish off champion Binghamton.

World Series will again be deep in the heart of Texas. Young caught Brandon Inge’s gameending popout in short right field and pumped a fist into the air signaling “No. 1” while fireworks and confetti filled the air, then ran toward the middle of the field to celebrate with his team-

Cruz had 13 RBIs in the series, another postseason record, and was selected MVP. “He was unbelievable,” teammate Adrian Beltre said. “Every moment we needed him, he came through.” Young, who also homered, had five RBIs in the finale, and the longest-tenured player on the Rangers helped make sure the See RANGERS, Page 6C

Penn State running back Silas Redd (25) holds off Purdue linebacker Joe Gilliam during the first quarter Saturday in State College.

Penn State’s offense sputters past Purdue By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

STATE COLLEGE -- The pile lurched forward as a dozen players converged on the football. When it finally came to a stop, out fell Matt McGloin to the roar of the crowd. McGloin landed well past the first down marker on the fourth-and-1 quarterback sneak, and it was finally over. On an afternoon of bizarre bounces and sloppy play, Penn State wasn’t about to chance things by kicking a field goal deep in Purdue territory, instead putting the ball in McGloin’s hands to finish off

the Boilermakers. The Scranton native did just that, and the Nittany Lions picked up yet another all-too-close win by holding off Purdue 23-18 Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Penn State improved to 6-1 and 3-0 in the Big Ten, with those three conference wins coming by a combined 21 points. “Fortunate? Yeah, (we’ve been) fortunate that we got a couple bounces,” coach Joe Paterno said. “And unfortunate that we made a couple of games closer than they should have been because we made some mistakes. “I just want to enjoy this one.”

The Lions are, of course, enjoying their 6-1 start to the season. But many of the same problems still have to be solved as they head back on the road to face Northwestern next week. On a cold, windy day in Happy Valley, the Lions finished the game 10-of-23 passing for 185 yards and an interception. Though Bolden started for a seventh straight game, it was McGloin who saw most of the work, going 8-of-17 for 145 yards and a pick while playing most of See ENOUGH, Page 3C

OPINION

BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

Nanticoke running back Brian Maslowski finds a hole in the Northwest defense in Nanticoke on Saturday night.

schedule. Their slim margin of most victories says drop those thoughts. At least Penn State didn’t drop down in the Big Ten standings. The Nittany Lions didn’t blow anyone away Saturday while weathering a 23-18 victory over Purdue. At least their hopes of a conference title didn’t get blown away on a windy day at Beaver Stadium. "I really don’t care what we look like," snapped Lions quarterback Matt McGloin from West Scranton High School. "As long as we keep winning." The Lions looked the way they normally do, using a big-play defense and just enough offense to squeak by. But all this grinding isn’t making much noise at Penn State. A fifth consecutive victory and a 3-0 start to their Big Ten season probably won’t move the Lions up much from their No. 25 position in the national polls. That’s because Penn State has beaten its first three very average conference opponents by a combined 21 points and won three of their six victories by less than a touchdown. This is supposed to be one of the Big Ten’s teams to beat? "I feel like we’re a dominant, powerful football team," insisted Lions linebacker Nate Stupar, who came up with his first interception of the season to seal Saturday’s victory. "Our defense makes big plays. Creating turnovers helps our offense get into better situations. We’ve won big games, been in big situations." But it’s not as if Penn State is viewed as the big, bad wolf of the Big Ten. "I guess because we’re not blowing teams out," McGloin said. But something special may be blowing in the Beaver Stadium wind. ‘We can win games’ Before the Lions bumped off the Boilermakers, they escaped Iowa, 13-3, staved off Indiana 16-10 and nipped Temple, 14-10. But while this hasn’t been a season of clear superiority for Penn State, the Lions never looked inferior after suffering a 27-11 defeat against second-ranked Alabama in the second game of the season. "We feel like a 6-1 team," Lions wide receiver Justin Brown said. "We know we can win games." You are what your record says you are, former NFL coach Bill Parcells used to say. And Penn State quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno pulled out a variation of that line while defending his team’s status among the elite teams in the nation. "It’s a 6-1 team," Paterno said. "Right now, we’re 3-0 (in the) Big Ten. We play good defense, we don’t turn the ball over in our end. We’re taking care of the football when we have to take care of it." It’s called taking care of business, one way or the other. And if that trend continues against more respected conference opponents including unbeaten Wisconsin and once-beaten Illinois and Nebraska, the Lions will wind up defending a Big Ten championship instead of defending a record that suggests they belong among the best. "Who doesn’t like to be under the radar?" Stupar asked. "Who doesn’t love an underdog playing well?" Penn State hasn’t played at an elite level that will wow anyone yet. Just well enough to show it can stand among the best.

One bad toss leads to another By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

STATE COLLEGE -- The play itself -- a 93-yard kickoff return by Chaz Powell -- was brilliant. The flag that came afterward? Not so much. With Penn State clinging to a 20-18 lead over Purdue in the fourth quarter Saturday, Powell answered a Boilermakers touchdown by taking the ensuing kickoff through a seam and down the left sideline. The senior beat the kicker to the corner but appeared to run out of steam, slowing up near the Purdue 20. But as defenders closed in on him, Powell accelerated to full speed once again, racing past a few more players before going out of bounds at the 3-yard line. But Powell celebrated by tossing the ball up in the air and was called for a controversial unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The flag backed the Nittany Lions up 15 yards and the offense settled for a field goal instead of a touchdown and a two-score lead. “If I could do it all over again, I would’ve handed the ball over to the officials,” Powell said. “They told me after that’s the rule and it’s a close game, so they have to call that. “They took the (view) that I was trying to get some attention. But I was just in the game and made a big play. I was excited.” Complicating matters was the fact that the Big Ten officiating crew was led by referee Dave Witvoet, who is infamous for poor and muddled calls and explanations. Witvoet initially announced that the flag was on No. 6 (Gerald Hodges), further confusing fans and players alike. “He jumped up and he threw the ball up in the air,” Witvoet said after the game. “It’s an unsportsmanlike call, 15 yards. It’s a point of emphasis. It’s drawing attention to yourself -- a celebration-type thing.” Powell’s runback was the second big return by the Lions’ special teams in the game, following a 33-yard punt return by Justin Brown in the third quarter. Both plays led to field goals, and the Lions ended up winning by five, 23-18. “Any time your special teams goes out and does something big, it definitely helps,” quarterback Matt McGloin said. “Especially in Big Ten conference games. Any advantage you can

PENN STATE NOTEBOOK get, you want. We’re real happy the way that worked out.” Infirmary report Penn State played without senior receiver Derek Moye, who broke a bone in his left foot earlier in the week and is expected to miss at least another week. Sophomore Brandon Moseby-Felder started in his place, catching two passes for 40 yards. The Lions welcomed back cornerbacks D’Anton Lynn and Stephon Morris from injury. Tailback Brandon Beachum dressed but did not get a carry. “I was a little timid at first because I hadn’t had full contact,” said Lynn, who sat out the past two weeks after suffering a concussion and stingers down both of his arms after a helmetto-helmet collision against Eastern Michigan. “But as I started playing, I started getting back to my old self.” Morris made two huge, touchdown-saving tackles, stopping Purdue tailback Ralph Bolden on a run and Raheem Mostert on a 71-yard kick return in the second quarter. Back in the booth After three straight weeks of starting the game on the sideline, Joe Paterno spent the entire afternoon Saturday in the coaches booth. The Penn State coach has been feeling close to normal last week against Iowa, having recovered from a collision that put him in the hospital with injuries to his right hip and shoulder in August. His plan last week had been to spend the whole game on the field for the first time all season. But when a Hawkeyes receiver came near him on a route in the first half, he was yanked away from the traffic on the sideline and was hurt again in the process. “It’s almost like all over again -- my leg hurts and my hip,” Paterno said. “Nothing serious, it’s just that I’m getting to be a sissy in my old age. “If I can’t move around down there, I get in the way. Everybody’s worrying, ‘Where’s Paterno? Where’s coach?’ That’s not fair. So anyway, I decided I was going to stay upstairs for this one. I think next week I’ll be back on the sideline, hopefully.”

the second half. McGloin also had a potential touchdown pass dropped at the end of the first half as Andrew Szczerba couldn’t hang onto the ball in traffic. It was McGloin on the field for every drive in the fourth quarter, including the one that ran out the clock on Purdue. “It’s great to be in there and take that last knee,” McGloin said. “I don’t care if we win by one point or a hundred points, as long as we continue to win. That’s fine with me and it’s fine with everybody else as well.” Things were a bit tougher than expected in this one because the Boilers were able to move the ball well against a Penn State squad that entered the week ranked fourth in the nation in total defense. Purdue finished with 344 total yards, nearly 100 more than the defense’s average per game (250). But Purdue proved to be the sloppier side. Using two quarterbacks themselves, the Boilermakers threw three interceptions. They missed a field goal and clanged an extra point off of the right upright in the third quarter, and would spend the rest of the game chasing it. “I think both sides would probably make the same statements” about missed opportunities, Purdue coach Danny Hope said. “They were forcing us to come up with more points in the end.” Penn State never trailed in the contest, getting touchdown runs from Curtis Dukes and Silas Redd to go with three field goals by Anthony Fera. Safety Nick Sukay came up with one interception and line-

backer Nate Stupar finished with two, including the one deep in Illinois territory in the final minutes that allowed the Lions to run out the clock. “I’ve been working this week with really using my hands, two hands getting on the ball,” Stupar said. “The coaches have really been pressing that, and I thank them for that because it helped out today.” While the defense fell short of some of the lofty marks it had set through the first six weeks of the season, the offense was again was paced by Silas Redd and the running game. Redd finished with 131 yards

on the ground and a touchdown for his third straight game over 100 yards. Dukes added 21 yards and scored his first career touchdown in the first quarter. Thanks to an Illinois loss, Penn State comes out of the week alone in first place in the Leaders Division, a half-game ahead of No. 4 Wisconsin, which had a bye week already this month. But with the hardest part of the schedule still to come, the Lions aren’t favored for anything just yet. “There’s plenty of time,” Paterno said. “We’ve got plenty of opportunities to find out how good we are.”

Receiver Moseby-Felder makes most of his opportunity The sophomore makes a pair of very important receptions in the Nittany Lions’ victory. By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader

STATE COLLEGE – Brandon Moseby-Felder knew he needed to step up in his first start. With big shoes to fill after Derek Moye broke his foot, the sophomore wide receiver wasted little time igniting a dormant Penn State passing offense. Moseby-Felder caught two passes for 40 yards in the second drive of Saturday’s 23-18 victory over Purdue, setting up a Nittany Lions touchdown – a rare feat for a team that averaged 14.5 points through its first two Big Ten games. The Nittany Lions’ receiving corps rose to the occasion Saturday with 10 catches for 185 yards, spurring each of Penn State’s two touchdown drives. “I thought the receivers did a good job,” coach Joe Paterno said. “I think, again, you’ve got to give Purdue some credit. I didn’t think our passing game was great.” Moye, the Nittany Lions’ lead-

ing receiver, broke his foot Tuesday when he slipped on stairs in his apartment. The broken fifth metatarsal bone does not require surgery, according to school reports, and he could return for an Oct. 29 matchup with Illinois. Heeding the call, Moseby-Felder broke wide open from his defender and caught a 21-yard pass from Rob Bolden. Four plays later, Bolden laced a throw to Moseby-Felder, who made a diving 19yard grab just in front of the goal line and created a Curtis Dukes touchdown. “Derek Moye is a great athlete,” said Moseby-Felder, who came into Saturday with just one catch for 4 yards. “You never expect that to happen. I have to step up and play the role that he played.” Bolden and Matt McGloin struggled to find a rhythm in a run-oriented offense that featured 10 more rushing plays in the first half. McGloin found his groove in the third and fourth quarters. The Scranton native completed six consecutive completions before a fluke interception off Bill Belton’s leg in the end zone. Justin Brown led the Nittany Lions with four catches for 86 yards. Brown made a 20-yard

catch inside the red zone that set up a Silas Redd 9-yard touchdown. On the next drive, Brown made a dazzling 34-yard onehanded catch over the head of Purdue’s Josh Johnson. Confidence in the wide receivers, regardless of quarterback, is how Penn State overcame Moye’s loss. “Matt and Rob both put a lot of trust in us,” Brown said. “Matt is going to throw the ball up with the expectation that we, as re-

PSU -- Curtis Dukes 1-yard run (Anthony Fera kick), 4:38. Drive: 7 plays, 73 yards, 3:14. Comment: Rob Bolden starts at quarterback for the seventh straight game. And after a three-andout on the first series, Bolden and the offense come through with a rare touchdown drive. Silas Redd breaks off a few nice runs, but the real surprise is sophomore Brandon Moseby-Felder, starting in place of the injured Derek Moye. After just one catch as a reserve in the first six games, Moseby-Felder comes up with two on the drive for 40 yards. That sets up another sophomore in Dukes to punch it in from inside the 1 for his first career score. PENN STATE 7, PURDUE 0. PU -- Carson Wiggs 28-yard field goal, 1:39. Drive: 8 plays, 69 yards, 2:59. Comment: Hand it to the Boilermakers -- their offense has been moving the ball as well as anyone else the Nittany Lions have faced. A little improv doesn’t hurt on this drive as Caleb TerBush scrambles to his right and buys time for Justin Siller to break away from a pack of defenders, make the catch and sprint across the field for a gain of 50. It was the longest play against the Penn State defense allowed all year. PSU 7, PU 3.

ceivers, are going to come down with it. “After that one-handed catch, I said to him ‘Thanks for having trust in me, man.’” To put the loss of Moye in prospective, the preseason All-Big Ten wide receiver accounted for half of Penn State’s receiving touchdowns (three), 38 percent of its receiving yards (80.8 per game) and 28 percent of its receptions (4.6 per game). He resides in the top five in school his-

tory in career receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. Paterno initiated the backfield into the passing game in the second half. Michael Zordich made two catches for 16 yards, and Joe Suhey caught a 9-yard pass. “Purdue had taken a lot of things away from us and then we finally started to throw the ball over to the fullback and a couple of things,” Paterno said. While Zordich said he and other backs “are being incorporated into the running game,” the offense remains unchanged in spite of Moye’s absence. “We’re not going to change anything just for the sake of Moye being out. It’s just that we’re going to have to fill in for him until whenever he comes back.” Depth is not a concern for the Penn State’s passing attack, according to McGloin. Nineteen players have receptions through seven games. “(Moye)’s such a great playmaker, and hopefully he’ll be back soon,” the West Scranton grad said. “But a lot of guys did a lot of big things, and it shows you how deep we are at the wideout position.”

PU -- Wiggs 32-yard field goal, 4:36. Drive: 8 plays, 67 3:54. After giving up the longest pass play of the season in the first quarter, the Lions surrender the longest rushing play of the year in the second. Ralph Bolden finds a seam down the middle of the field and picks up 39 yards before being tackled by Stephon Morris. Reaching the Lions 14-yard line, defensive tackles James Terry and Devon Still make back-to-back big stops to force the kicking unit to come out again for the Boilers. PSU 7, PU 6. PSU -- Fera 29-yard field goal, 0:00. Drive: 3 plays, 12 yards, 0:14. Comment: The Boilers are rotating quarterbacks as well, and Robert Marve makes a horrible decision throwing across his body to the middle of the field while on the run. With a host of defenders in the area, Nate Stupar leaps to make the interception and returns it 24 yards to the Purdue 24. The 12 yards on the drive comes courtesy of a late hit after the play that moves the ball half the distance to the goal with 14 seconds on the clock. With just three seconds left, Fera comes on for the field goal to improve to 8-for-9 on the season. PSU 10, PU 6.

THIRD QUARTER PSU -- Fera 40-yard field goal, 5:57. Drive: 4 plays, 8 yards, 2:00. Comment: With the offense struggling, Justin Brown delivers the team’s best punt return of the season, going 33 yards down the right sideline to set the offense up at the Boilers’ 31. Penn State runs three straight times for 8 yards and squanders the chance. Fera bails the offense out again, hitting the longest field goal of his career. PSU 13, PU 6. PU -- O.J. Ross 14-yard pass from Caleb TerBush (Wiggs kick failed), 4:02. Drive: 4 plays, 26 yards, 1:23. Comment: And the special teams gives one right back. The normally reliable kickoff coverage unit has a breakdown as Raheem Mostert sprints 71 yards down the left sideline and barely -- just barely -- is forced out of bounds by Stephon Morris. This time, the Boilers don’t stall as TerBush rolls left and hits Ross for the score. Incredibly, Wiggs hammers the extra point off the right upright. PSU 13, PU 12. PSU -- Silas Redd 9-yard run (Fera kick), 2:37. Drive: 4 plays, 60 yards, 1:25. Comment: McGloin answers with a strong drive to give the momentum back to the Lions, completing three straight passes into the wind to set Penn State up in the red zone. The red zone struggles don’t surface this time as Redd scores immediately, twisting after contact to fall across the goal line. PSU 20, PU 12.

FOURTH QUARTER PU -- Akeem Shavers 1-yard run (TerBush run failed), 8:08. Drive: 8 plays, 45 yards, 4:05. Comment: McGloin was looking great, hooking up with Justin Brown on a great one-handed catch. On the next play McGloin tries to go for it all to Bill Belton, but the ball is tipped, then kicked into the air and intercepted by Albert Evans, who brought it out of the end zone to the Penn State 45. Purdue goes eight plays for the touchdown as Shavers flips over top of the pile for the score. Down by 2, Purdue goes for the conversion but TerBush is stopped well short on a run to his right by linebacker Khairi Fortt. PSU 20, PU 18 PSU -- Fera 29-yard field goal, 6:24. Drive: 4 plays, 6 yards, 1:28. Comment: A brilliant 93-yard kick return by Chaz Powell is dampened when the side judge flags the senior corner for flipping the ball in the air after the play is over. The 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty costs the Lions. PSU 23, PU 18

LSU, Alabama romp to blowout wins The Cavaliers (4-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) sealed the victory by holding onto the ball for the final 6 minutes, making five first downs to get inside the Yellow Jackets’ 5.

The Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Jarrett Lee threw two touchdown passes, and Spencer Ware caught one and ran for another score as No. 1 LSU stayed unbeaten with another rout, 38-7 against Tennessee on Saturday. The win was the seventh straight by a double-digit margin for the Tigers (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) and marked the second consecutive season they’ve swept their three SEC East foes. Matt Simms, making his first start of the season for Tennessee (3-3, 0-3) in place of the injured Tyler Bray, was 6 of 20 for 128 yards and two interceptions against one of the nation’s best defense. It marked a departure in the series between the two teams in which three of the last four games have been decided by a touchdown or less, including last year’s bizarre finish in Baton Rouge when LSU scored the winning touchdown after the game was extended by a Tennessee penalty for too many men on the field. No. 2 Alabama 52, Mississippi 7 OXFORD, Miss. — Trent Richardson rushed for 183 yards and a career-high four touchdowns and No. 2 Alabama’s defense smothered foundering Mississippi. Richardson put the Rebels (2-4, 0-3 SEC) away with an electric 76-yard run midway through the third quarter and now leads the nation with six straight 100-yard games. He’s scored 16 touchdowns this season for the Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0) and displayed his rare combination of power and speed as he tossed aside Rebels with ease. It was the most-lopisded defeat since a 49-3 loss to Florida in 1981 for Ole Miss, playing the first of three straight games against ranked opponents. No. 5 Boise State 63, Colorado State 13 FORT COLLINS, Colo. — No. 5 Boise State is already the biggest bully in the Mountain West Conference, even if the Broncos’ stay becomes short and sweet. The Broncos routed Colorado State in their Mountain West debut behind huge games from quarterback Kellen Moore, tailback Doug Martin and wide receiver Tyler Shoemaker. Moore threw for 338 yards and four touchdowns on 26of-30 passing, Martin ran 20 times for 200 yards and three scores and Shoemaker caught nine passes for 180 yards and two TDs and added a 36-yard run on a fake punt that led to another score for the Broncos

No. 15 South Carolina 14, Mississippi State 12 STARKVILLE, Miss. — Alshon Jeffery caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Connor Shaw with 3:50 left in the fourth quarter and No. 15 South Carolina rallied to beat Mississippi State. In his third career start, Shaw struggled for much of the afternoon. No. 17 Kansas State 41, Texas Tech 34 LUBBOCK, Texas — Collin Klein ran for three touchdowns and threw for another as No. 17 Kansas State came from behind to beat Texas Tech 41-34 on Saturday night. Klein ran for 110 yards on 23 carries, scoring on three short runs and hitting Chris Harper for a 3-yard TD pass on the Wildcats (6-0, 3-0) first drive of the third quarter. No. 19 Virginia Tech 38, Wake Forest 17 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Logan Thomas rushed for two touchdowns and passed for two more to lead No. 19 Virginia Tech past Wake Forest. Thomas finished 17 of 32 for 280 yards with scoring passes of 20 yards to Jarrett Boykin and 30 yards to Marcus Davis, and added scoring runs of 1 and 3 yards for the Hokies (6-1, 2-1 ACC).

Spartans hand Wolverines’ Hoke first loss The Associated Press

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Keshawn Martin scored twice in the third quarter on similar lunges to the end zone, and No. 23 Michigan State held off Denard Robinson and No. 11 Michigan 28-14 on Saturday for its fourth straight victory over the Wolverines. The Spartans (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten) equaled their longest winning streak over their instate rivals. Michigan (6-1, 2-1) lost for the first time under coach Brady Hoke. The Wolverines had a chance to tie it, but Robinson was sacked on fourth-and-1 from the Michigan State 9-yard line with 6:16 to play. Robinson later threw an interception, and Isaiah Lewis returned it 39 yards for a touchdown with 4:31 left to make it 28-14. Shortly after that, Robinson was shaken up by a hit and left the game. Edwin Baker ran for 167 yards and a touchdown for the Spartans. Robinson ran for a first-quarter touchdown but was mostly ineffective through the air,

going 9 for 24 for 123 yards and a touchdown on a windy day in East Lansing. Down 21-7, Robinson found Roy Roundtree for a 34-yard touchdown with 9:49 left in the game. Martin then fumbled on an end around, giving Michigan the ball at the Michigan State 32. After converting fourth-and-1 from the 23 with a short run, Robinson faced the same down and distance from the 9. Michigan called a slow-developing play-action attempt, and Johnny Adams sacked Robinson to end the drive. After Michigan got the ball back, Robinson’s pass was intercepted by Lewis, who took it back for a touchdown. Lewis risked a penalty by holding the ball out before crossing the goal line, but the touchdown stood. Michigan State hasn’t had a four-game winning streak in the series since 1959-62 — which was part of a 6-0-2 stretch against Michigan.

Buckeyes didn’t complete a pass until Miller hit Jake Stoneburner for a fourth-quarter touchdown and a 17-0 lead. The Buckeyes’ defense forced three turnovers and turned two of them into their only touchdowns. Herron’s 12-yard touchdown run followed an interception by Bradley Roby and put Ohio State up 10-0 in the third

Wisconsin 59, Indiana 7 MADISON, Wis. — Quarterback Russell Wilson added a new chapter to his brief-butgrowing legend, making a touchdown catch on a trick play as No. 4 Wisconsin routed Indiana 59-7 on Saturday. Wilson, who is being touted as a Heisman Trophy candidate by Wisconsin (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten), added another memorable moment to his resume when he caught a 25-yard score from running back Montee Ball in the second quarter. Ball had a huge day, rushing for three touchdowns. Wilson threw for 166 yards and a touchdown with 42 yards rushing. Wisconsin was playing without top wide receiver Nick Toon, who sat out with a left foot injury. Stephen Houston had a 67yard touchdown run for the struggling Hoosiers (1-6, 0-3).

Warriors’ Douds ties game mark

The Times Leader staff

EAST STROUDSBURG – East Stroudsburg University head coach Denny Douds tied the Division II record with his 393rd game coached and redshirt senior quarterback Ray Wagner threw for 503 yards, becoming the first player with back-to-back 500-yard games in Pennsylvania Athletic Conference history, but C.W. Post left Eiler-Martin Stadium with a 34-30 victory on Saturday afternoon. Douds, 230-160-3 in his 38th season at ESU, tied the division’s mark held by Jim Malosky, who guided MinnesotaDuluth from 1958-1997. Douds will coach his record-setting 394th game next Saturday when the Warriors host Millersville at 3:05 p.m. Wagner followed a 522-yard game at Kutztown last Saturday by throwing three long first-half touchdown passes – 73 and 75 yards to redshirt junior Jordan Hallman and 61 yards to redshirt sophomore Robert Bleiler – as the Warriors built a 23-7 lead, but couldn’t hang on. Utah 26, Pittsburgh 14

PITTSBURGH — John White ran for 171 yards and Coleman Petersen kicked four field goals in the tricky Heinz Field winds to lead Utah by reeling Pittsburgh. The Utes (3-3) snapped a two-game losing streak behind the legs of White and Petersen, and an impressive defensive effort to improve to 9-0 all-time against current members of the Big East. Petersen, who’d made four field goals all year coming in, converted kicks of 23, 34, 39 and 45 yards in winds that gusted over 30 mph. Utah’s Derrick Shelby returned a late interception 21 yards for a touchdown as the Utes sent Pitt (3-4) to its second straight loss. The Panthers managed just 120 total yards, turned it over three times and a reconfigured offensive line allowed quarterbacks Trey Anderson and Tino Sunseri to get sacked six times. Temple 34, Buffalo 0

PHILADELPHIA — Bernard Pierce ran for 152 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries, and set new Temple rushing records along the way, as the Owls blasted Buffalo. Pierce became Temple’s single-season and career rushing leader with his performance, as he crossed the 100-yard mark for the fifth time this season. Even his backup joined the party. Matt Brown ran for 120 yards and a score on 12 carries as the Owls (5-2, 3-1 MAC) compiled 400 yards on the ground, and owned 39:08 time of possession, never really giving the Bulls (2-5, 1-2) an opportunity to fight back. James Madison 34, Villanova 10

HARRISONBURG, Va. — Trailing 10-6 midway through the third quarter, James Madison erupted for four touchdowns — two each in the third and fourth quarters — and pulled away from Villanova. Jordan Anderson ran for three touchdowns for the Dukes, two in the decisive second half. The Dukes rushed for 253 yards, 19 yards more than Villanova’s total offensive output. Bloomsburg 38, Shippensburg 18

BLOOMSBURG – Huskies senior quarterback Pat Carey threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns as Bloom (7-0, 4-0 PSAC East) topped the Red Raiders. Defensively Jarrett Pidgeon recorded a career high 17 tackles. Eddie Mateo rushed for 129 yards on 16 carries to go along with a season long 69-yard rush, while Franklyn Quiteh went for 105 and two touchdowns for Bloomsburg. Fullback Matt Cox also added a 61-yard run on a fake punt.

mates. Cruz threw both hands in the air and briefly knelt to a knee in the outfield before running to the infield for the ginger ale-spraying celebration to come while a banner was unfurled high over center field declaring the Rangers 2011 AL champions With former President George W. Bush seated in the front row alongside Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, part of the ownership group that took over the team last year, Rangers manager Ron Washington was at the edge of the dugout wildly waving his arms and shouting encouragement to his players as the big inning unfolded. All Tigers manager Jim Leyland could do was take off his cap and scratch his head. A franchise that began as the expansion Washington Senators and moved to Texas in 1972 had failed to reach the World Series in its first 49 seasons. Then the Rangers won their first AL pennant last year only to lose the Series to the San Francisco Giants in five games. “As soon as the season began, we were hungry, we were hungry to get back,” Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus said. Texas overcame a 2-0 deficit by sending 14 batters to the plate against Detroit starter Max Scherzer (0-1) and three relievers in the highest-scoring postseason inning since 2002. Alexi Ogando (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings for his second win in the series as the Rangers became the AL’s first consecutive pennant winner since the New York Yankees won four in a row from 1998-01. While Young became only the fourth player in postseason history with two extra-base hits in the same inning — first a tying double into the left-field corner and then one down the right field line for a 9-2 lead — every batter in the Texas lineup reached base at least once before the third out of the third. By the time all the fireworks was over, the Rangers scored the most runs ever in a postseason game against the Tigers and the most in any postseason contest since the Yankees routed Boston 19-8 in Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS. Also among the sellout crowd of 51,508 was Dirk Nowitzki, MVP of the NBA finals won by the Dallas Mavericks in June.

Runners take off to start the inaugural Catholic Youth Back Mountain Fall 5K Run along Monroe Avenue in Dallas on Saturday morning.

Scenic run poses challenges Robert Moulton and Jen Stec win inaugural Back Mountain Catholic Youth Fall 5K Run.

By ROBERT MINER For The Times Leader

DALLAS – Robert Moulton and Jen Stec ran to wire-to-wire victories in the inaugural running of the Back Mountain Catholic Youth Fall 5K Run on Saturday at the Gate of Heaven School. Moulton,19, of Mountain Top, tackled the challenging course that was loaded with hills, winning overall honors in 17 minutes, 51 seconds. He outran second-place finisher, Tony Korch, 51, of Nanticoke, by 1:56. Mark Wright, 43, of Shavertown, who won the Lupus Loop 5K Run in Kirby Park on Sept. 25, finished third in 20:55. “I took a medium pace up the hills, especially on the first hill, because I knew there were more hills to come,” Moulton said. “I used a long stride on the downhills. It was hard getting into a nice rhythm because of the hills. But I did every chance I got.” Moulton ran track and cross country for Crestwood High School. He is currently an assistant cross country coach for the Comets while attending King’s

College, where he runs track as a sophomore. Moulton said the new race at Gate of Heaven was the toughest 5K he had ever run. Nevertheless, he enjoyed the scenic hills and said he would run it again. Stec, who won top female honors with a sixth-place overall finish in 22:37, echoed Moulton’s remarks. “The course was outstanding,” said Stec, 36, of Mocanaqua. “It was hilly and scenic. I will definitely come back and run this race again. Everything was so well organized. And the traffic control, along the course, was great.” Stec, who just two weeks ago ran a trail marathon (actually a 25-1/2 miler), said she tried to take it a little easy. “I tried to run at a strong uphill pace,” Stec said. “And I made up as much time as I could over the downhills.” Sandy Jesse, 38, of Dallas, finished second among the women, finishing 10th-overall in 24:50. Proceeds from the race go to the Back Mountain Catholic Youth Group to help fund a trip to Camden, N.J., to the Romero Center, an outreach community organization that helps the poor. Jayne Moore and Fr. Daniel Toomey are coordinators of the youth group. Moore said the

youth learn about helping the poor and social justice. Then they bring what they’ve learned back home. Moore said that Camden is the second poorest city in the United States.

PENGUINS The loss – their second in a row, drops the Penguins to 1-2-1-1 on the season, good enough for four points. And even though they managed a point on Saturday, it certainly wasn’t good enough. “At this time of year, in overtime, you at least want to get to a shootout so you have a chance at two points,” said Geoff Walker, who had a power play goal but was a minus-3. “This is tough to swallow.” Despite the blown-lead, the components of the Penguins’ game at times showed things may be close to coming together. The defense was remarkable in the first period, Brad Thiessen made several brilliant saves and the offense was consistent throughout. Now all they need is for all those elements to perform well together for an entire 60 minutes. “That’s what we’re working toward,” said head coach John Hynes. “Tonight’s performance we had hard work, but the miscues cost us. We’re learning some tough lessons.” Miscues such as the blown coverage that allowed Senators forward Derek Grant to break in alone on Thiessen and bury the puck to cut the Penguins lead to 2-1 early in the second period. Or Kaspars Daugavins’ third period goal that came after he skated behind several Penguins in the neutral zone and got by Alexandre Picard to score on Thiessen and give Binghamton a 4-3 lead. Down by one with seven minutes to play, the Penguins leaned on their leading goal scorer, Bryan Lerg, to even things up. Paul Thompson set things up when he gained control of the puck behind the Senators’ net

and dished a pass to Lerg in front. Lerg blasted a one-timer through Binghamton goaltender Robin Lehner to make it 4-4. The goal was Lerg’s in his last three games and gave him six points on the year. But the Senators had the final say with less than two minutes remaining in the overtime period. Once again, a bad read gave Binghamton an odd-man rush into the Penguins zone, and Mark Parrish buried the puck for his second goal of the night and the gamewinner. Walker, who said the goal was his fault, said the Penguins have been beating themselves with turnovers, bad read and mistakes. Still, he emphasized that all is not lost. “It feels real tough right now

but I think we’re close. It’s good game. Hynes said he has a lower that we’re going through this body injury and will be evaluated early. We need to learn from it today.

better,” said Nanticoke coach Ron Bruza, whose team fell to 2-4. “We didn’t lose 35-0 or 48whatever or 52-0. It’s just a tough loss. Somebody had to lose the game, and unfortunately it had to be us.” Northwest (4-3) had defeated Nanticoke the past four years by a combined score of 171-12. That included consecutive shutouts of 53-0 and 35-0 the past two years. “Hats off to Nanticoke,” Northwest coach Carl Majer said. “That’s the best they’ve played us in four years. It could have gone either way and I said that to every (Nanticoke) player walking across here.” Northwest trailed 30-28 when it got the ball back with 2:17 to play. After three plays moved the ball 12 yards to the Nanticoke 32yard line, Foley lined up on the right side, slanted between the hash marks and caught a bullet from Majer in stride for the gamewinner.

LYCOMING

WILKES

Wilkes managed just 64 yards after that drive until the final 15 minutes. The Warriors (5-2, 3-1) capitalized on Wilkes’ miscue, driving 80 yards on 10 plays on their opening possession, capped with a 14-yard TD pass from Zach Klinger to Matt Atkinson for a 6-0 lead at the 4:02 mark. Lyco took a 13-0 advantage at halftime after a second quarter, 9-yard scoring run by Craig Needhammer (20 carries, 152 yards). Trailing 20-0 in the third quarter, the Colonels were putting something together and driving in Warriors territory before QB Tyler Bernsten was picked off

CRESTWOOD-DALLAS M O V E D T O M O N D AY Due to field conditions caused by rain Saturday morning, the Crestwood at Dallas football game was postponed. The game will be played at 2:30 p.m. Monday at Dallas.

The duo also hooked up on TD pass of 60 and 40 yards in the first quarter. Nanticoke’s final chance started poorly as Northwest’s Dalton Tomko sniffed out a running play for a 9-yard loss. After an incompletion, defensive back Jeramie Rittenhouse picked off his third pass of the game to seal the victory. Early on, it looked like the Rangers might have been headed to another blowout victory over the Trojans. Majer tossed his third TD pass of the game early in the second quarter for a 20-8 lead. Nanticoke, though, battled back behind the running of Brian Maslowski to take a 24-20 lead at halftime. Northwest regained a 28-20

lead when running back Tony Politz scored on a 10-yard run on its first possession of the third quarter. The key play in the drive was the first one. Majer and Politz ran an option to the left, but as Majer was hit in the backfield he flipped the ball forward to Politz, resulting in a 47-yard reception. The Rangers were driving again on their next possession when Nanticoke defensive back Jeff Jezewski recorded the second of his three interceptions and returned it 82 yards for a score and 30-28 advantage.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico — The United States quickly moved to the top of the medals table at the Pan American Games on Saturday with two golds and a bronze in the first three events. Heather Irmiger won the competition’s first gold in the women’s cross-country mountain bike race, and Jeremiah Bishop added a bronze in the men’s event a few hours later. “The course was perfect for me,” Irmiger said. “I enjoyed the technical sustained climb and navigating my way through the cobbled streets lined with yelling fans.” In modern pentathlon, Margaux Isaksen took gold with 5,356 points. There are eight more gold medals to be won on the first day of competition in Guadalajara, including five in swimming. The United States has traditionally dominated the Pan American Games, which have been staged every four years since the first competition in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1951. Irmiger took the lead from the first lap on the 24.8-kilometer mountain bike circuit, winning in 1 hour, 34 minutes, 9 seconds. Laura Lorenza Morfin of Mexico was second in 1:35:54 and Amanda Sin of Canada third in 1:37:14. Defending champion Hector Paez of Colombia won the gold medal in the men’s race in1:31:12, followed by Max Plaxton of Canada in 1:31:29. Bishop was third in 1:32:41.

“It was an aggressive race,” said Bishop, who won Pan Am gold in 2003. “I went full gas right from the start to put pressure on the others.” Isaksen won the opening fencing event in the modern pentathlon, and finished second to silver medalist Yane Marques of Brazil in the 200-meter freestyle swim and the show jump. But Isaksen again finished first in the concluding combined event, which consists of a 3-kilometer run with breaks for shooting. Marques was second with 5,260 points, while Tamara Vega of Mexico took bronze with 4,956. In the swimming heats, Claire Donahue of the United States set the first meet record, winning her 100-meter butterfly heat in 58.59 seconds. The previous record, held by American swimmer Kathleen Hersey, was 59.21 from the 2007 Games in Rio. The world record is 56.06. The women’s United States 400 freestyle relay team soon followed with another championship record, winning a heat in 3:40.85. Olympic champion Cesar Cielo, one of the most accomplished swimmers competing in Guadalajara, made a brief visit to the hospital Saturday because of a minor illness, but he is expected to swim as scheduled today. Before competition even started Saturday morning, three doping cases emerged. Brazilian runner Simone Alves da Silva and Puerto Rican mountain biker Kelvin Gonzalez both tested positive for EPO, while Chilean weightlifter Cristian Escalante tested positive for the stimulant methylhexaneamine. All three were withdrawn from the Games.

WILLIAMSPORT – Wilkes piled up the second-most yardage against Lycoming this year when it totaled 230 yards Saturday afternoon at David Person Field. Even though the output was just 31 yards shy of the most allowed by the Warriors this year, the Colonels couldn’t handle Lycoming and fell 40-7. The afternoon got off to a good start for Wilkes (2-4, 2-3 MAC) as it received the opening kickoff and drove 73 yards on 13 plays only to come away empty handed as a 23-yard field goal attempt by Geoffrey Arentz was pushed to the right. That turned out to be the biggest threat the Colonels had until the fourth quarter.

JAGUARS VS. STEELERS

Matchup nothing like old times

Payback time for Redskins First-place Washington is out to avenge last year’s embarrassing loss to Philly. By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer

LANDOVER, Md. — Even by Andy Reid standards, it was an uncomfortable and short call when the Philadelphia Eagles coach spoke to Washington Redskins reporters this week. The height of absurdity was reached when he was asked if he recalled much about the last time the two teams met. “No,” Reid answered. “I have a short memory.” It should be a positive memory. It was 11 months ago that the Eagles rolled into Washington for a Monday night game and dominated like few teams before them, taking a 35-0 lead en route to a 59-28 drubbing. Michael Vick was nothing short of stunning — four touchdowns passing, two touchdowns rushing — and the Redskins were nothing short of stunned. Washington coach Mike Shanahan remembers it all too well. Asked if he was going to review video from that game this week, he longed for Reid’s selective recall. “I’m trying to get that out of my mind,” Shanahan said with a laugh. “No, I’m not going to watch it.” This Sunday’s game between the Eagles and Redskins shapes up to

pretty much what everyone expected at the start of the season: one team in first place with a chance to pull away from the rest of the NFC East vs. a team bringing up the rear. Except that the roles are reversed. Philadelphia (1-4) is in a four-game skid, its longest since 2005, and UP NEXT doesn’t look like the PHILADELdream team predicted afPHIA at ter a post-lockout spendWASHINGTON ing spree. Washington TV: 1 p.m., FOX, (3-1), which knows all too WOLF-56 well about spending OPENING sprees that backfire, was a LINE: Eagles by 11⁄2 consensus pick to finish LAST MEETlast in the division. ING: Eagles The Redskins’ success beat Redskins is also a surprise, and it 59-28, Nov. 15, centers around a defense 2010 that ranked 31st a year ago and is up to No. 6 this season. Offenses convert only 26 percent of their third downs against Washington — a rate no other defense comes close to matching. Stopping Vick is another matter. For one thing, no one has really stopped the Eagles. They just keep stopping themselves.

Philadelphia’s offense ranks third in the league, but the Eagles have committed a league-high 15 turnovers. Vick already has more interceptions (7) than he had all last season (6), although most have been due to receiver mistakes and poor protection by the offensive line. “People say they’re a dream team,” Redskins fullback Darrel Young said. “I know they probably don’t want to be considered a dream team because of their record. No one wants to be considered that until it’s all said and done.” The Redskins are in sole possession of first place, somewhere they haven’t been this late in the season since they last won the NFC East in 1999. This will be one of their biggest regular season games of the last 15 years, a chance to bury a ballyhooed rival that embarrassed them last year. “Just looking at what they did to us last year? It’s kind of payback time,” Young said. As for the Eagles, it’s hard to use the phrase “must-win” this early in the season, but consider this: Five teams since 1990 have won division titles after starting 1-4, but none has done so after starting 1-5. It’s now or never to solve the turnovers on offense and the missed tackles a defense, a unit still adjusting to Juan Castillo’s move from offensive line coach to defensive coordinator.

BILLS VS. GIANTS

Fitz has Buffalo believing again The Bills and their QB are playing as well as any Buffalo squad has in the past decade.

By TOM CANAVAN AP Sports Writer

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Maybe it’s time to stop waiting for the Buffalo Bills to collapse and revert to the team that hasn’t made the playoffs since 1999. They seemingly are playing too well to fall apart. The same can’t be said for the New York Giants, who suddenly find themselves with a lot more doubters after an embarrassing loss at home to the Seattle Seahawks last weekend. The Bills (4-1) and Giants (3-2) meet for the first time in four years Sunday in a game at MetLife Stadium that may go a long way in determining where these teams are headed. This is a game the Giants need to win. They will have a bye after this game, a game against winless Miami and then a killer schedule with games against New England, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Green Bay. Getting past Buffalo won’t be easy. The high-scoring, ball-

hawking Bills are looking to match their best start since 2008, a year that quickly went south and ended with a 7-9 mark. A win also would top last season’s total. “We’re in a great situation. We’re in a great position, but we still have a long way to go. Eleven games,” Bills linebacker Andra Davis said. “I told you about being out there in Denver, 6-0, I’ll never let that happen again. 4-1 is great. It’s better than a lot of people, but at the same time, we’ve still got a lot of work. We could be 5-0, but at the same time we could be 2-3, we could be 0-5 like last year.” The secret to the Bills’ success has been the balance of the offense led by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and halfback Fred Jackson and the ability of the de-

fense to force turnovers. The team is averaging close to 33 points and has scored 20 points in five straight games. It also has an NFL-best plus 11 in turnovers, led by a league-high 12 interceptions. Turnovers have led to 79 points, nearly half Buffalo’s total for the season. Fitzpatrick, who has thrown for 1,233 yards, 10 TDs and four interceptions, has been the con-

stant, leading them to a blowout win over Kansas City, comebacks win over Oakland and New England and a tight one last week against Philadelphia. Going against the Giants, Fitzpatrick will be facing a defense that is giving up a ton of yards but one that also is leading the NFL with 18 sacks, including 61⁄2 by second-year defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul.

PITTSBURGH — Mike Tomlin isn’t big on trips down memory lane, particularly painful ones. The Pittsburgh Steelers coach grew so annoyed by repeated questions about Jacksonville’s win at Heinz Field in the NFL Divisional playoffs four seasons ago he hung up on reporters. “Anybody got any questions relative to this week?” Tomlin asked just before the phone went click. Forgive Tomlin for his lack of enthusiasm when talking about arguably the lowest point of his highly successful tenure. Be- U P N E X T sides, as he is quick to point JACKSONout, the Jag- VILLE at uars’ 31-29 up- PITTSBURGH TV: 1 p.m., CBS, set is ancient WYOU-22 history for both OPENING franchises.

The two teams that face off when Pittsburgh (3-2) hosts the rebuilding Jaguars (1-4) on Sunday bear little resemblance to the two that played on that chilly January night. “I understand that might have been a big game in Jacksonville four years ago but that’s old news,” Tomlin said. “Many of those guys are no longer here and definitely many of the guys that were in Jacksonville are no longer there.” Jacksonville quarterback Blaine Gabbert wasn’t even in college yet. Now the rookie is learning on the job and in the midst of a daunting run that will have the Jaguars facing the NFL’s top three defenses in successive weeks. The returns have been mixed so far. Gabbert threw for 200 yards against Cincinnati last week, easily the best performance of the 22-year-old’s brief career. Yet the numbers haven’t translated to joyful jogs off the field. “We’ve got to win football games for us to feel good about ourselves and know that we’re actually accomplishing something,” Gabbert said. “We all get sick and tired of hearing we got better this week, we got better this week, but when you’re losing you didn’t get better, you lost.” Jacksonville’s defense has done its best to give Gabbert a chance. Only New Orleans topped 300 yards of total offense and the Jaguars have traditionally played the Steelers close. Each of the last seven meetings have been decided by nine points or less. Not that the Steelers need any reason to be wary. They’ve failed to string together consecutive solid games during an uneven opening month. Pittsburgh appeared to get back on track with a 38-17 rout of Tennessee last weekend in which quarterback Ben Roethlisberger tied a franchise record with five TD passes.

Happy to be back By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

Scott Munroe was leaving the visa office in Moscow when he spotted an elderly woman approaching. Wanting to be polite, Munroe paused and held the door open so the woman could enter. She elbowed Munroe in the stomach as she brushed by. Welcome to Russia. “I thought ‘Wow, this is different,’” Munroe said. Much has been written about the challenges – both language and cultural -- that European hockey players face when they come to play in North America. When the roles are reversed, the difficulties are the same, especially for North American players playing in Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League. Munroe and his current Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins teammate Niko Dimotrakos have both spent a season in Russia and they each came back with different experiences. Growing up in Moose Jaw, Sasketchewan, Munroe was used to long, harsh winters. When he signed to play in Russia last season with a team in Nizhnekamsk -- a town several hundred miles southeast of Moscow, Munroe and his wife had no problems handling the hard winter. But the cold and snow were about the only things that were an easy adjustment. Nizhnekamsk is industrial town with a population of approximately 230,000. It’s a bleak area where the buildings are all painted the same dull color and sunny days are few and far between. “Every apartment building looks like it was cloned,” Munroe said. “It’s a pretty depressing place.” Prior to deciding to spend the 2010-11 season in Russia, Munroe spent his six-year career in the United States. He had never played overseas and really wasn’t ready for the culture shock that awaited. In North America, he said, you can buy anything you want, day or night. It’s an aspect of life that’s taken for granted. In Russia, basic errands like going to the grocery store, ordering fast food or even picking up a package at the post office were a challenge. Why? Because people in Russia don’t believe in standing line, Munroe said. “They’re very aggressive when it comes to standing in line for something. McDonald’s was one of the only things familiar to us over there and we went there a couple times,” he said. “But there are no lines in front of the cash register. Over there, they line up at the counter and lean in across it to order. I stood there my first time and people will just come in and stand right in front of you.” And that was just to order a cheeseburger. When it came time to pick up the mail, Munroe said the aggressiveness was worse. “We went there to get a package and it was an absolute zoo,” he said. “We were crammed into one stall and people kept pushing into it.

RYAN CRAIG Penguins Center

Ryan Craig’s full-time job is to play center for the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins. But for this week, at least, he’s moonlighting. The Penguins’ captain will step in for the first installment of Fantasy GM. Today he’ll fill the shoes of GM’s such as Ray Shero, Lou Lamoriello and Ken Holland. There’s a twist, though -- this isn’t your normal team. Roster spots are few and job titles are specific. Craig has molded a highly-skilled roster packed with stars that he has played with and against during his time in the NHL. Here’s what Craig’s team would look like if he were GM for a day (WBS Penguins teammates excluded): Forward: Martin St. Louis (Tampa Bay Lightning) Defense: Niclas Lidstrom (Detroit Red Wings) Goaltender: Marc-Andre Fleury (Pittsburgh Penguins) Power Play Specialist: Steven Stamkos (Tampa Bay Lightning) Penalty Kill Specialist: Jeff Halpern (Washington Capitals) Enforcer: Jordin Tootoo (Nashville Predators) (honorable mention – Andre Roy) Agitator/Pest: Joe Vitale (Pittsburgh Penguins) Head Coach: Dan Bylsma (Pittsburgh Penguins) All-Time Great: Steve Yzerman (Detroit Red Wings) or Joe Sakic (Colorado Avalanche) AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

Penguins goaltender Scott Munroe catches a puck during pregame warmups Friday.

You have to literally fight your way to the front of the line.” Making Munroe’s Russian experience more of a challenge was the language barrier. He and his wife didn’t speak Russian, and very few people in the town spoke English. Simple tasks such as hailing a cab or paying for groceries became a huge challenge because of the language barrier. “It’s a grind. You’re away from home, you don’t have television or even a grocery store where they understand you,” Munroe said. “You’re totally out of your element.” One place where Munroe did feel at home – at least in the beginning, was on the ice. At the start of the season there was another North American player – former Binghamton Senator Martin St. Pierre, on the roster, along with two players from Sweden who spoke English. At the hockey rink, at least, Munroe had three teammates with whom

he could carry on a conversation. It was a small comfort of home – one that was shortlived. A few games into the season, St. Pierre was released and sent back home. A few days later the two Swedish players were let go as well. That left Munroe as the only import on the roster, and he wondered if he would be the next to go. But that wasn’t the hardest part. The night before each home game, all of the players were required to stay at the team’s “base” or headquarters. That meant Munroe had to leave his wife home alone at their apartment. “There she was in a tiny apartment by herself, didn’t know the language and even though I was in the same town I couldn’t see her,” Munroe said. “It was tough.” Even routine practices were

a major change. In North America, Munroe said, athletes are somewhat pampered and their teams help them with basic needs like finding a place to live. In Russia, the athlete’s life revolves around constant training. Munroe likened it to being treated like a machine. A typical day consisted of practice in the morning, a workout at the gym, head home for lunch then meet with the team that night to go for a run in the snow. “I was like ‘Are you kidding me right now?’ Having us do that once or twice, I get it, but this was pretty consistent,” Munroe said. Eventually the adjustment did get a bit easier and Munroe remained with the team for the entire season. He picked up enough Russian for basic communication, and established

NIKO DIMITRAKOS is the other Penguin player who spent a season in Russia playing in the

KHL. Unlike Munroe, Dimitrakos played with a team in Moscow, Russia’s capital and largest city. The big city brought many of the amenities that Dimitrakos was used to – restaurants, places to shop and places to take his kids. Playing in Moscow lessened the culture shock for Dimitrakos. “I was fortunate. There were places in Siberia where we’d fly into to play a game, and you can see that things were different than in Moscow,” he said. Dimitrakos also had the luxury of playing in Sweden before he went to Russia, so he was familiar with how to cope with playing overseas. “In Sweden, everybody spoke English so it was easier,” Dimitrakos said. “Russia took a little while. Luckily for me I had guys that I played with before that were on the team, so that helped.”

a bond with North American players on other teams he played against. “If you see another guy you talk to him right away,” Munroe said. “In pregame warmups, the North American guys would come by and tap me on the pads. There was some comraderie among the few North American players over there.” Munroe doubts he’ll return to Russia and admitted he’s happy to be back playing in North America. Still, despite the difficulties, he and his wife don’t regret the eight months they spent living in an industrial town in Russia. “In some ways we’re proud of ourselves that we did it,” Munroe said. “We lived in a smaller town with no English, and we were able to learn enough and figure it out.”

and he was booed each time he touched the puck. Richards raised his arms in celebration after Johnson redirected his shot past Ilya Bryzgalov to spoil Philadelphia’s perfect start. Justin Williams scored two goals for the Kings and Jonathan Quick was stout in goal with 32 saves. Flyers forward James van Riemsdyk was whistled for tripping in the final moments of regulation, leading to the power-play attempt for Los Angeles at the start of overtime. It was a furious end to the third that allowed Richards to star again at the Wells Fargo Center. Williams scored on a rebound off his own backhand to beat Bryzgalov with 7:25 left in the third for his second goal of the game and a 2-1 lead. Richards was a helpless spectator in the penalty box after he was whistled for hooking. The Flyers pounced and Matt Carle scored the tying goal when he fired one from the circle past Quick not long after. More Flyers fans than usual, many wearing a Richards Flyers jersey, pressed along the gate outside the arena waiting for his arrival. Some fans asked each other if they thought Richards would be booed. He wasn’t, at least, not at first. Richards received loud cheers amid a smattering of boos when he was introduced as the starting center. He received a rousing ovation in the first period when the Flyers flashed a message on the videoboard that read: “Thank you, Mike Richards, for all your contributions and service to the Flyers organization and our fans.” Richards spent the past three seasons as team captain. He scored 133 goals and had 349 points in 453 games since making his debut with the Flyers in 2005. He had no desire to leave and

was “shocked” when he learned of the deal. Richards needed time to regroup and couldn’t fully come to terms with the trade until he made his first visit to Los Angeles. Richards, once viewed as the face of the franchise, was traded June 23 for forwards Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds and a second-round pick. He wears No. 10 instead of 18 and is no longer a captain. Sabres 3, Penguins 2 PITTSBURGH — Nathan Gerbe and Luke Adam each had a goal and an assist and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Pittsburgh Penguins for the first time in almost two years, 3-2 on Saturday night. Gerbe had a first-period goal to open the scoring, and he deftly left the puck on a drop pass for Drew Stafford’s goal with 11:54 to play that gave the Sabres a two-goal lead. The Penguins lost in regulation for the first time in six games this season. James Neal scored for the

third consecutive game, extending his NHL-leading goal total to five for Pittsburgh (3-1-2). Jordan Staal added a thirdperiod goal for the Penguins, whose streak of earning at least a point in five straight games to open the season was their best in 17 years. Still without Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh played this one Evgeni Malkin, too. Crosby, though, took part in the morning skate and is cleared for contact. Islanders 4, Rangers 2 UNIONDALE, N.Y. — John Tavares had three goals, including the tiebreaking tally in the third period, and added an assist for the New York Islanders, who beat the New York Rangers and gave goalie Evgeni Nabokov a win in his return to the NHL.

HOMER, N.Y. — A high school football player died after he was hit during a varsity game in upstate New York and suffered a head injury, a death that stunned his school community and came at a time when youth sports are under scrutiny over whether enough is being done to protect players’ heads. Ridge Barden, a 16-year-old lineman from John C. Birdlebough High School in Phoenix, was face down after the play Friday and was able to sit up, but he complained of a very bad headache and collapsed when he tried to stand, authorities said. “The coaches and trainers went over. He was talking. He rolled on his back by himself,” Phoenix School District Superintendent Judy Belfield said Saturday. Birdlebough was playing at Homer, south of Syracuse. The hit came about six minutes into the third quarter during a play, Homer police officer Donald Warner said. An ambulance took Barden to a hospital, and he was being transferred to a larger medical center in Syracuse when his condition deteriorated, Belfield said. The ambulance turned around, but doctors were unable to save the boy’s life. Team coaches didn’t learn until after the game that his injuries were severe, Belfield said. She said the school community was distraught. Officials opened the high school Saturday to students or staff who wanted to talk about what had happened. “It’s just one of those freak things,” she said. “The Homer players have to be feeling just as much sadness.”

700 MERCHANDISE 716

The Homer Central School District posted a message on its website Saturday morning saying the community had Barden been “deeply saddened and shares in the grief of the Phoenix School Community.” Warner, who was working at the game, said police were investigating but there was no suspicion of criminal activity. “It looks like just a bad accident,” he said. Head injuries in football have been a concern across the country in recent years, with some medical evidence emerging to suggest that the equipment players use may not be enough to protect them from serious, long-term injuries. A handful of high school students suffer fatal on-field injuries every fall, according to the University of North Carolina’s National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research. A player at Frostburg State University, in Maryland, died after suffering a head injury in a practice in August. Belfield said the school district sends its football helmets out to be reconditioned every year, and that each has to pass a safety inspection before the season begins. “Over the course of the past few years, they have really tried to improve the protection of the head. But there is always a risk of injury or of death,” she said. She added that an investigation would be conducted to try to determine what went wrong. In New York, a law signed this summer will require school coaches to bench student athletes who have symptoms of a concussion, a mild traumatic brain injury with symptoms such as dizziness or headaches.

Smith helps Brits leave with medal

Kenseth jumps up in Chase with Charlotte win By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

TOKYO (AP) — The British men can skip the souvenir shopping, Louis Smith has them covered. Smith won the bronze medal on pommel horse Saturday, ending Britain’s world gymnastics championships on a high note after a dreadful start. The British men have now won at least one medal at the last four worlds after managing a grand total of two in the first 90 years of the championships. “I think I’m more relieved,” said Smith, who is also the reigning Olympic bronze medalist on pommel horse. “It’s nice to come to a world championships and come away with something, whether it be in the team event or the all-around. ... I think it’s positive that, despite what happened in men’s qualification, me and Daniel Purvis came away from that, trained a little, cleared your head and did a fantastic competition.” The British are a team on the rise, and many expected them to contend for a medal this year. Not only did they fail to make the podium, they missed out on one of the eight spots available here for next summer’s London Olympics. They’ll now have to go to a second qualifier in London in January. Purvis eased some of the pain with his fourth-place finish in the all-around Friday night, missing a medal by about three-tenths of a point. It’s the second-best finish ever at worlds by a British man, behind Daniel Keatings’ silver in 2009. But it’s the hardware everybody wants. Smith does the hardest pommel horse routine in the world — his start value of 7.0 is threetenths of a point higher than anyone else’s — and he was dazzling for all but the last few seconds.

CONCORD, N.C. — Matt Kenseth has staked his claim on NASCAR’s championship with a win Saturday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Kenseth passed Kyle Busch with 25 laps to go then held Busch off on a restart to win his first race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. The victory was Kenseth’s third of the season, but first since NASCAR’s title-deciding series began five races ago. The win pushed Kenseth from fifth to third in the standings. He trails leader Carl Edwards by seven points at the halfway point of the 10-race Chase. Busch changed his engine before the race and started last in the 43-car field. But he rallied to finish second for his best finish in the Chase. RATINGS RUN WILD: An exciting start to NASCAR’s championship series has boosted ESPN’s ratings over the last month, a positive turnaround after a lengthy decline in television viewers. The first four races of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship are up 11 percent compared to the first four races of last season. The numbers don’t include the Chase opener at Chicago, which was rained out and held a day later. But an 18 percent boost at Dover and a 13 percent increase at Kansas have the overall numbers up. Julie Sobieski, vice president of programming and acquisitions, said the on-track competition will be critical in keeping

NASCAR

NOTEBOOK the ratings up through the Nov. 20 finale. “The story lines are what drives it, and there has been great story lines all year,” she said. “There’s been great momentum, great competition and these tremendous story lines.” Tony Stewart, who had said he wasn’t running well enough to contend for the championship, won the opening two Chase races while five-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson struggled. Kurt Busch, his rival, then beat Johnson in a race to the finish at Dover, and Johnson got back into the title hunt with a win last weekend at Kansas. Sobieski also said the ratings have been helped by the Chase races starting at 2 p.m., an hour later than last year. The earlier starts put the end of the races up against the end of the early NFL games, and the network believed that head-to-head competition hurt the ratings. “The 2 o’clock starts have made a nice difference,” she said. “That was a smart decision that we all discussed in the offseason and that was definitely the right way to go.” LADIES BEHIND THE WHEEL: Jacquelyn Butler, the girlfriend of Cup driver David Ragan, won the charity race held before Saturday night’s main event.

benefited Motor Racing Outreach and Speedway Children’s Charities. Butler, familiar with the Bandolero cars that Ragan has raced for years, passed Ashley Allgaier with eight laps to go to take the victory in the inaugural event. “All of the girls did really good,” she said. “It was fun out there. I want to go back and do it again next week.” Tricia Mears, wife of Cup driver Casey Mears, finished second and seemed to have been bit by the racing bug. “It’s no fun getting second,” she said. “I’m actually mad right now. I’d rather get 14th. I can’t handle it right now.”

Allgaier, wife of Nationwide driver Justin Allgaier, led a race-high 17 laps before finishing third. She later talked some good-natured trash with Butler after the race by blaming her loss on her tires fading over the end.

OUTDOORS Hunters looking for ‘the ultimate upland game challenge’ have gone afield to mark the opening of the season for the wily ruffed grouse

Grouse numbers are down about seven percent from last year, which can make a challenging hunt even more difficult this season.

SQUIRREL PROSPECTS GOOD Joining grouse season with an Oct. 15 opening day was squirrels. That season runs until Nov. 26, and the season reopens Dec. 12-23 and Dec. 26-Feb. 25. As with most years, the prospects for finding good numbers of squirrels remain high. “Gray squirrels are our most abundant game species and are found throughout Pennsylvania,” said Tom Hardisky, Pennsylvania Game Commission biologist. “Look for mast-producing trees such as walnut, butternut, oak and hickory when searching for the best hunting areas.In agricultural areas, woodlots in the vicinity of standing cornfields often support large numbers of squirrels. They can be found throughout deep woods areas.The black squirrel is actually a color phase of the gray squirrel. In general, black squirrels can be found in the northern half of Pennsylvania. Squirrels with this black color variation often occur in local concentrations scattered about their northern Pennsylvania range. The season for pheasants and rabbits opens on Oct. 22 to Nov. 26, Dec. 12-23 and Dec. 26 to Feb. 4 for pheasants, and Feb. 25 for rabbits.

tate Rep. Ed Staback and Mountain Top resident Tommy Hollock have the same goal in mind. They both want to keep young hunters in the sport and attract more youth at the same time. But when it comes to achieving that goal, Staback and Hollock both have different ideas. Those ideas were discussed in detail during Thursday’s Sportsmen’s Forum hosted by state Rep. Gerald Mullery. The event was held at Hanover Area High School and allowed the public to ask PGC officials and legislators about anything related to the outdoors. It was a great idea by Mullery and I hope he holds more forums in the future. A multitude of topics were covered and interesting debate ensued, such as that regarding ways to attract more youth to the sport of hunting. Staback, who has long been a supporter of Sunday hunting, believes adding another day to hunt on the weekends will give young hunters more opportunity to spend time afield. It’s a day that they don’t have to take off from school. A bill that would give the PGC the authority to implement Sunday hunting currently sits in the House Game and Fisheries Committee. Staback is the minority chair of the committee while Mullery serves as the secretary. Before the committee acts to move the bill onto the House floor, Staback said, they are waiting to see if there is enough support. That could happen next month. Adding Sunday to the hunting season adds opportunity, Staback said, and that will make it easier for parents to take their children hunting. Jay Delaney, who serves as the PGC commissioner for the Northeast Region, said he believes the youth hunting seasons established by the agency are working to get more kids afield. He cited the special pheasant season for junior hunters and the hunts hosted by sportsmen’s clubs solely for kids as examples. Hollock attended the forum with his family and, with his son, Sam, sitting nearby, listened intently while Staback and Delaney spoke. Need more deer With a love for hunting that runs generations deep in his family, Hollock had to weigh in. He agreed with the importance of attracting youth to hunting, but he wasn’t sold on the idea that Sunday hunting is the way to do it. And while the youth pheasant season is nice, it’s not enough, Hollock added. The solution, he said, is to increase the deer population. When it comes to hunting in Pennsylvania, deer hunting is easily the most popular choice. And when it comes to attracting more kids to the sport, the focus should be on deer, Hollock said. “I’m not talking about necessarily shooting a deer, but at least get the numbers to a point where they are seeing deer while they’re out in the woods or on stand,” Hollock said. “That’s what needs to be done if you want to keep youth in the sport.” Without choosing a side in the debate, at least not right now, I can relate to what Hollock said. Looking back on my first deer season as a 12-year-old, I remember spending a cold morning on the first day of buck season hearing shots in the distance and seeing deer run by. I didn’t see a buck that first year, but I saw enough deer throughout the day that my interest and enthusiasm never waned. The fact that I stood a good chance at just seeing deer was enough to keep me coming back season after season. Staback’s Sunday hunting, Delaney’s youth seasons and Hollock’s call to increase deer numbers are all interesting arguments when it comes to the issue of attracting new hunters to the sport. While the concepts may be different, the resulting goal is the same. That’s what matters most when it comes to the future of hunting.

Simpson in pursuit of top money spot The Associated Press

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Michael Thompson shot a 3under 67 on Sunday to take a one-stroke lead over Billy Horschel in the McGladrey Classic, while Webb Simpson was two strokes back in his bid to win the PGA Tour money title. Thompson was 13 under on Sea Island’s Seaside Course. Horschel followed his opening 64s with a 70. Simpson shot a 69 to match Trevor Immelman (62) at 11 under. Simpson and top-ranked Luke Donald are vying for the money title and both will play next week in the season finale at Disney. Simpson trails Donald by $68,971, but could move into the top spot with a strong round Sunday. Simpson also is looking for a tour-leading third win this year,

which could make him the favorite for PGA Tour player of the year. AT&T Championship SAN ANTONIO — Fred Couples birdied six of the first seven holes and finished with a course-record 10-under 62 to take a seven-stroke lead in the Champions Tour’s AT&T Championship. Couples had 12 birdies — six in a back-nine 30 — and a double bogey to reach 17 under at TPC San Antonio’s Canyons Course, the first-year venue after nine years at Oak Hills. On the par-3 fourth, Couples pushed his tee shot and dumped a chip into a bunker en route to the double bogey. He won the Senior Players Championship on Aug. 21 at Westchester for his first senior major title.

Mark Calcavecchia was second after a bogey-free 66. He made a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th. The seven-stroke lead is the largest 36-hole margin on the 50-and-over tour since 1998 when Isao Aoki, Hale Irwin and Larry Nelson led events by eight shots. Couples broke the tournament record of 130 set by Mark McNulty in his 2004 victory, and the 62 tied the event record set by Gil Morgan in 2004 and matched by John Harris in 2005. LPGA Malaysia KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — South Korea’s Na Yeon Choi took a one-stroke lead over Brittany Lang in the LPGA Malaysia, finishing off a 4-under 67 in fading light after a long rain delay.

Huawei seeks to become a tech powerhouse By JOHN BOUDREAU San Jose Mercury News

SHENZHEN, China — The intensity of this nation’s tech ambitions are apparent on the sprawling campus of Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., whose youthful employees play hard on basketball courts after working hard to create telecommunications technology for what they hope will be China’s first major global company. Started 24 years ago as a reseller of low-end telephone equipment, Huawei has evolved into the world’s secondlargest provider of telecom and Internet technology, and is considered a national champion by Chinese authorities. While suspected of having ties to the

Chinese military by some American national security officials, and accused by others of getting unfair assistance from the Chinese government, the tech conglomerate has become a competitive threat to Silicon Valley giants Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks and HewlettPackard. Though it has so far failed to land a big deal in the United States because of pressure from Washington, Huawei has become a major force in the global telecom market and is developing high-end Internet technology and other products, such as videoconferencing systems, for businesses and governments. Cisco CEO John Chambers recently described Huawei as “a very tough com-

petitor over the long term.” While industry observers believe Huawei, an employee-owned company that reported revenues of $28 billion last year, still lacks the innovative edge of Cisco and other leading tech companies, there is no doubt the Chinese company seeks to become a dominant global player. Nearly half its 120,000 global employees, including about 500 in Santa Clara, Calif., focus on research and development. Huawei, which landed $2 billion in enterprise contracts in 2010, expects to double that this year and reach $15 billion to $20 billion a year by 2015. It is tripling its enterprise unit employees to 30,000 in three years.

It also has carved out a significant share of the market for handsets and tablet computers, and expects to sell 20 million smartphones globally this year. “Huawei has an excellent chance of becoming the first truly Chinese brand to be a household name around the world,” said Richard Brennan, a Palo Alto, Calif., native who is an executive in the company’s industry standards department. Huawei has come a long way in less than a decade. In 2003, Cisco filed a lawsuit accusing it of copying Cisco’s software and violating patents, though the dispute was quickly settled because the See HUAWEI, Page 4D

Oystermen seek help after Irene

By STEPHEN SINGER Associated Press

GROTON, Conn. — The damaged docks and scattered oysters left after Tropical Storm Irene tore through Long Island Soundthissummerrevealonlysomeofthe problems Connecticut oystermen face in trying to rebuild their industry along the Mystic River. They worry a shutdown of more than a month will result in a permanent loss of customersandexpressirritationoverwhat theyconsideraslowprocesstogetpermits forwinterharvestingfromtheriverandfor growing oysters in indoor tanks to extend their season. There’s also some frustration at being regulated like fishermen when they consider themselves “growers,” akin to farmers and in need of the same kinds of government aid. Oystermen plant small shellfish in beds to grow and later be harvested. Like farmers, each has his own territory in which to plant. James Markow, 55, estimated he lost $35,000, or about 20 percent of his annual sales, when he had to close operations for five weeks before, during and after the storm. The extended shutdown resulted from persistent rain that started even before Irene reached the sound, creating runoff and the threat of pollution. Shellfishing, a traditional industry in New England, had largely died out in southeastern Connecticut when a few oystermen began working to revive it about15 years ago. The industry now adds about $30 million to the state’s economy each year and supports more than 300 jobs, according to a recent disaster aid request from the state’s congressional delegation. Nationally, the shellfish industry generates $1billion in wholesale sales each year,

BACK IN THE POOL Poseidon property cleanup nears completion By ANDREW M. SEDER

aseder@timesleader.com

RIGHT TWP. – Thirteen years and nearly $4 million in cleanup costs later, an arm of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce is close to

putting the former Poseidon Pools property in the Crestwood Industrial Park on the market. The Greater Wilkes-Barre Industrial Fund took ownership of the 37acre site in 1998 after Poseidon filed for bankruptcy, defaulting on a $1.6 million Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority loan, which the chamber guaranteed. The chamber was left holding the bag for $800,000 and then learned it needed to clean up the soil that was contaminated by a mixture of industrial-related chemicals that had seeped into the ground. The chamber, through its contract-

wouldn’t be enough to stop the chamber from putting the land on the market. A contract will be awarded in the coming weeks for the earth works portion of the project, which includes leveling the land, crushing the remaining flooring, footers and foundation and installing a building pad on the property, said Tom Williams, the chamber’s director of real estate projects. The dilapidated structure on the site was demolished late last year. “We believe we are just weeks away from having a completely clean site,” said Todd Vonderheid, chamber president. John Augustine III, the chamber’s senior director of economic and entrepreneurial development, said the property has a good location and a

ed consulting engineer The Quad 3 Group, embarked on a $1.5 million environmental cleanup and development project that’s in the final phases. The state has contributed more than $2 million more to cleanup costs. Kevin Sunday, a DEP spokesman, said the site’s soil has been cleaned to an acceptable level but the groundwater still had some contaminants, including Trichloroethylene and bis(ethylhexyl) phthalate when it was last tested in September.

Gas exports show need for energy policy

recent request filed by a company that owns natural gas pipelines and storage facilities sheds light on the gold rush mentality that infuses the industry. Richmond, Va.based Dominion Resources is asking the federal government to allow it to export 1 billion cubic feet per day of gas through a terminal in Maryland. The proposal comes at the same time the Marcellus Shale Coalition trade group is touting “energy security” as a reason to turn drillers loose on the land. Let’s put this in perspective: 1 billion cubic feet of gas is approximately the amount 13,500 U.S. households use in a year. Dominion wants to ship out that much gas every day. In the course of a year, they’d send overseas the equivalent of 8 percent of the entire nation’s annual residential gas usage. And that’s only one of several companies gearing up to export gas in liquefied form. Dominion said it wants to sell gas overseas because while supplies are surging thanks to finds like the Marcellus Shale, domestic demand is flagging. Half of the reason why, according to a 2010 report by the Energy Information Administration, is that heating equipment and appliances have become much more efficient. Think about it. We’ve managed to reduce demand by boosting efficiency, which is a more effective step toward energy independence than piling on supply. But efficiency and conservation are the enemies of energy producers. To support its request, Dominion contends gas exports will help reduce the nation’s trade deficit, which would be laudable if depleting our resources didn’t jeopardize future energy reserves — and potentially increase the need for imported oil. Dominion’s plan reveals the company’s — and perhaps the industry’s — eagerness to place short -term profits ahead of the nation’s long -term welfare. That’s understandable in an era when businesses disclaim responsibility for anything except raising shareholder value. But there needs to be pushback, and at the moment there’s not a strong mechanism for that. This is where government has a legitimate role, and if we had a national energy strategy it could be invoked to prevent, or at least rationalize, the export of irreplaceable resources. But we don’t have a coherent policy, which means companies and industries can wield their influence to get the results they want, which are more likely ones that boost profits rather than assure adequate future supplies. I know some will suggest the government ought to keep its nose out of decisions like this, that the “free market” will come up with the best response. That’s a legitimate argument for some situations, but not one as important as this, when unchecked greed could in a few decades sell off a resource that may prove key to our future. I doubt that opponents of an energy policy would argue that we should turn over national defense to Lockheed and Boeing. But it turns out the Marcellus Shale Coalition thinks energy security is none of our business. “These are private minerals owned by private individuals,” coalition spokesman Travis Windle told me Thursday, earning the fees the coalition pays the K Street lobbying firm he works for. Would rational planning mean less opportunity for the industry to exploit energy resources for its own short-term goals? Surely it would, and slowing the pace of production would provide more time to analyze, anticipate and fix environmental risks. Wouldn’t that be a fair compromise; a steady stream of business for energy producers and reliable domestic supply of fairly priced energy for the next century or more?

good size but was likely much more attractive a few years ago when the economy was better. “Trying to sell land right now is very difficult,” Augustine said. He said in the past, “a great flat pad-ready KOZ site” was a good sales pitch. “But deal flow is at an all-time low in the region. There’s really not a lot of appetite for land. They’re looking for a building now.” But Augustine said the land, which could hit the market as soon as year’s end if the DEP deems the water on the property safe, could still be attractive for a buyer or company looking to lease land. “That’s not to say that property’s not prime for someone,” Augustine said. He said making it more attractive is that interest on a PIDA loan rate has dropped to 2 percent, meaning a company could finance the construction of a building on the site with a low interest rate and taxes would be abated for 10 years since the park is in an approved Keystone Opportunity Zone.

and it’s growing, said Michael Rubino, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Aquaculture Program. The federal government has been looking to foster the domestic seafood industry. More than four-fifths of the fish, clams, oysters and other seafood Americans ate in 2009 was imported, according to the latest figures from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Louisiana is the largest producer of shellfish, with major industriesoneachcoastinWashington state and Virginia, Rubino said. In Connecticut, the industry is still relatively small, and recent setbacks have the oystermen worried about hanging on. Most have repaired the damage from the storm, but they worry the restaurants and other customers who foundothersuppliersduringtheir

The former Poseidon Pools factory in the Crestwood Industrial Park in Wright Township before it was razed last year.

“We believe we are just weeks away from having a completely clean site.” Todd Vonderheid Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce president

An Eberhard Faber Pencil Co. factory was the first tenant on the property and businesses to move into the park when it opened in 1956, Vonderheid said. Eberhard Faber left in 1986 when it moved its operations to Mexico. Poseidon came in a few years later.

Vonderheid said the site “never had significant environmental issues, but enough that we needed to clean it up.” The cleanup included soil remediation, the clearing of the 325,000-square-foot vacant factory and water testing.

month-long shutdown won’t be back. “Once a customer gets his oysters from somebody else, it’s over,” Markow said. Connecticut’s congressional delegation has written a letter to U.S. House Speaker John Boehner,askingthatshellfishgrowersbe eligible for federal disaster aid for the storm’s victims. Typically, they qualify only for low-interest loans, not grants, unless the shellfish are grown in controlled environments such as wire cages, according to the U.S. Farm Service Agency in Connecticut. Most Connecticut shellfish are grown in riverbeds. Markow said the oystermen would like to grow more in controlled environments. He and others have asked for state permits for indoor tanks that can serve as an alternative to the river and provide a steady supply of oysters. They’re also seeking permission for winter harvesting from the river. “We’d like to hire more people and grow,” he said. “It’s tough to do that when all you hear is no.”

Firm guidance can streamline vendor meetings

By MARIE G. MCINTYRE McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Engineers from the Addis Ababa Information & Communication Technology Development Agency (AAICTDA) in Ethiopia, Africa, train on Huawei’s networking equipment at the training center at Huawei headquarters in Shenzhen, China.

HUAWEI Continued from Page 1D

San Jose, Calif., company did not want to damage relations with the Chinese government, analysts say. Fairly or not, Huawei is viewed by some as a proxy of China’s Communist government. Mediashy founder and Chairman Ren Zhengfei was an engineer in the People’s Liberation Army 25 years ago. Huawei, facing a wall of opposition from some members of Congress and former Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, now the American ambassador in China, has yet to win a contract with top U.S. telecom carriers, even though it supplies equipment to 45 of the world’s top 50 telecoms. U.S. regulators have blocked it from making acquisitions and early this year pressured it to retreat from plans to buy the assets of Santa Clarabased cloud-computing company 3Leaf Systems. Critics say the company has benefited greatly from behindthe-scenes assistance from the government, though Huawei fiercely denies that. William Plummer, Huawei’s Washington-based vice president of external affairs, says Huawei is being maligned because of fears of a rising China and lobbying against it by U.S. competitors. “There are always going to be

competitors who are trying to stir some fear, smut, some doubts,” he said. “I understand the tension between the United States and China. Huawei is caught up in that rubric. We are a punching bag.” Plummer is one of a number of Western executives formerly with companies such as Cisco, Intel, AT&T and Sun Microsystems that Huawei has hired in recent years. The moves are part of a broader campaign by Huawei to address concerns about its alleged ties to the Chinese military. In February it issued an open invitation for the United States government and anyone else to investigate its businesses operations. It recently released information about the makeup of its board, reducing some of the secrecy shrouding the company. Huawei has long denied it has ties to the military. Founder Ren left the PLA during a military downsizing and started his company six years later, Plummer said. He dismissed as “malarkey” the accusations that Huawei has received significant financial assistance from the Chinese government. In June, U.S. Export-Import Bank President Fred Hochberg attributed some of Huawei’s dramatic growth to a $30 billion credit line from the Chinese Development Bank that reduces its cost of capital and offers financing to buyers at rates lower than those of competitors.

Q: Can you suggest a nice way to interrupt during a business conversation? For the past week, I have been meeting with vendors who hope to sell their products to our company. Some of these people spend a lot of time chatting or giving me unnecessary information. I am a polite and courteous person, but this is sending me over the edge. These incessant talkers are wasting time that I do not have. How do I get them to focus on the business at hand? A: You have not only diagnosed your own problem, but also identified the solution. Most people held hostage by longwinded conversationalists are simply being too polite. They believe interrupting would be rude, so they wait for the person

to finish, silently gritting their teeth all the while. The quick fix for this predicament is learning to interrupt in a courteous manner. When a longwinded vendor reaches the end of a sentence, you should immediately jump in and gracefully redirect the discussion. For example: “Bob, let me stop you there for a minute. Since we have limited time, I want to be sure we review all the price and delivery options. What information do you have about that?” An even better strategy, however, is to take control from the beginning. As the buyer, you hold the “power position” in these meetings, so you have every right to define the agenda and manage the time. Start by saying, “Here’s what I’d like to cover today,” then list the points you want the seller to address. To speed up a sluggish conversation, offer a gentle

reminder: “Since we only have 15 minutes left, let’s talk about contract terms.” Most vendors will appreciate this guidance, because they are eager to make a good impression. Annoying a potential customer is the last thing they want to do.

Q: A few months ago, the small restaurant where I work was sold. Everything was fine at first, but then the new owner moved me from the day shift to evenings and reduced my weekly schedule from 38 hours to 15. This guy clearly doesn’t like me, so the environment has become very unpleasant. Should I just give up and quit? A: Before you walk out in frustration, remember that there are two valid reasons to remain in a difficult workplace. The first is the paycheck. The second, iron-

ically, is that it’s usually easier to find a job when you have a job. Unemployment is an automatic red flag for many interviewers. If you decide to stay, use the extra 25 hours per week to ramp up your job search. When asked why you’re seeking a new position, just give a brief description of the facts. For example: “The restaurant where I work was recently sold. My job has been made part-time, so I’m interested in finding full-time work.” Avoid the temptation to disparage your new boss, because that will only make interviewers wonder if you might be difficult to manage.

MarketPulse BIG BLUE

HIT AGAIN Already weak corporate pension plans are in even more trouble. The weak stock market has dragged down the value of pension plans’ holdings. Those in the S&P 500 are underfunded by about $477 billion, or 28 percent. Stock investors should care because the underfunding means companies may have to contribute more cash next year to fill their pension plans’ coffers. Credit Suisse analyst David Zion estimates it could total $91 billion for S&P 500 companies. That’s cash that could have gone to shareholders through dividends or stock buybacks or been used to develop new products.

IBM’s stock has never been higher. $200

Friday’s close $190.53

Most stocks are struggling, but IBM has never been higher. Its stock climbed to $190.53 on Friday, a record. It has been the best stock in the Dow Jones industrial average this year, up 29.8 percent. The second-best is McDonald’s, which is up 17.2 percent. The overall Dow is up 0.6 percent. One reason why IBM has done so well is that its earnings tend to be steady. Going back to the fourth quarter of 2005, IBM’s profit has dropped just once. That time was by only 1 percent. Such resilience is alluring when investors worry the weak economy could drag down corporate earnings.

SMALL GLIMMER Here’s maybe a glimmer of hope on jobs: Small businesses felt more optimistic in September. Granted, the rise in the small business optimism index compiled by the by the National Federation of Independent Business was small. It rose to 88.9 from 88.1, and IHS Global Insight economist Christ Christopher calls the gain “a measly 0.8.” But it was still the first gain in optimism in seven months. Small companies employ more than half of all private-sector workers, according to the Small Business Administration. The unemployment rate has been at or above 9 percent since April.

Stan Choe, Kristen Girard • AP

Spotting the next bubbles It’s easy to find stock bubbles with years of hindsight. But scholars from Columbia and Cornell universities say they have found a way to spot overvalued companies in real time, using complicated mathematical formulas. Columbia professor Philip Protter explains why bubbles matter to investors.

InsiderQ&A

Why should investors care? There are two fundamental reasons, and they’re kind of different. One is that, when the Federal Reserve, or various government agencies, regulate the economy ... one of the things they do is they insist that banks have a certain amount of capital reserved. ... If one of the assets, or many of the assets they’re holding, are undergoing bubble pricing, then the banks and everybody else thinks they have a lot more capital reserves than they actually do because the prices are inflated. ... The other reason is more pedestrian. ... Let’s say you’re in an investor long-term, and you think that Verizon is a good stock and it’s going to be a good stock for the next 20 years, and you want to buy it. If you see that it’s currently in a bubble, you may want to wait until that plays itself out before you buy it, and just keep your money in the bank.

Protter

Do you find that a lot of longterm investors slip up and buy stocks in bubbles? It depends on who you’re talking about. I think a lot of Wall Street types are a bit too savvy to get that burned. They may suspect something’s in a bubble. It’s kind of like when you’re driving, and you see the light is green and you notice it’s been green for a long time as you’re approaching it. You think it’s kind of a stale green and it’s going to turn yellow very quickly. And, so, if you’re on Wall Street and you’ve been seeing a run-up of something — something’s really been increasing, and you have an intuition that it’s in a bubble — and it’s been doing this for a while, then you know it’s dangerous to get into it. The ordinary, average investor who’s just trying to save some money through the stock market wouldn’t think like that. So what looks like a bubble now? Fairly recently, LinkedIn had an IPO. And, so there was a lot of speculation that a bubble was beginning. We got the data right from the first five days it was trading, and ran it through our [research formula], and determined that it was a bubble. Then, I read an article ... on whether gold is in a bubble or not. So, I thought, this is perfect, we’ll test gold. So we tested gold, and we discovered it was not a bubble. ... Those are the only two current things we’ve done so far, because it is a fair amount of work. We don’t have it where you just put the data into a black-box software and out pops [the conclusion]. We do it all by hand. Do you see the day when this is all automated on a computer, so people can just enter a ticker and see if a stock is in a bubble? Yes, I do see that. ... For example, let’s suppose you’re just an ordinary person and you want to buy a stock and you call up your broker. ... So, before you buy a stock, have it checked to see if it’s in a bubble. So you say, “This stock looks almost too good to be true.” So you ask your broker, “Could you run it through your software and see if it’s in a bubble?”

Yields rise as stocks rally

Short of confidence

Investors are placing the most bets since 2009 that stocks will fall. They are discouraged by the volatile stock market, Europe’s slow progress in resolving its debt problems and the tepid U.S. economic recovery. So, they are shorting stocks, which means they’re betting stocks will fall. To short a stock, an investor borrows a share and sells it. Later, if the price falls as expected, the investor can buy the share again at the lower price and pocket the difference. Investors had 14.95 billion shares borrowed for short sales on

Sept. 30, according to the most recent data available from the New York Stock Exchange. Two weeks earlier, they had 15.67 billion. That was the most since March 2009, when 16.17 billion shares were sold short. Interest in shorting stocks has been building through the year on growing pessimism about the global economy. Barclays Capital strategists on Tuesday cut their forecast for where the S&P 500 index will end the year to 1,260 from 1,325. They expect earnings growth to slow, and they say Europe’s debt

Investors are selling stocks short at levels not seen since 2009. That means they're betting stocks will fall.

Stock Screener

Where optimism is rising

Financial analysts got more pessimistic about this earnings season. The U.S. economic recovery is weak, and Europe still hasn’t fixed its debt problems. Such struggles likely hindered companies’ profit growth from July through September. So, many analysts cut their estimates for third-quarter earnings. COMPANY

Analysts expect S&P 500 companies to report 12 percent growth in earnings for the third quarter. Three months ago, they were expecting 16 percent. Alcoa began the third-quarter earnings season with an inauspicious start on Tuesday: Its profit more than doubled, but the growth was weaker than analysts expected.

Rank: Fund’s letter grade compared with others in the same performance group; an A indicates fund performed in the top 20 percent; an E, in the bottom 20 percent.

But there are always some exceptions. The table below shows stocks where analysts have raised their earnings expectations over the last month. Two refiners are near the top of the list, Tesoro and Valero. They have benefited because a glut of oil supply in the U.S. has kept prices for the crude that they refine lower than oil traded in other global markets.

problems have hurt corporate confidence. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney recommended last week that investors shift money to safer investments, such as bonds, and away from stocks. But some financial analysts see the increased short interest as a contrarian signal for optimism about stocks. If stocks keep rising like they did last week, it could trigger a spurt of buying, J.P. Morgan strategist Thomas Lee wrote in a report. Short sellers would scramble to buy stocks to limit their losses in a move called “short covering.”

Treasury prices fell last week, sending their yields higher, as investors bought riskier assets like stocks. Investors were encouraged by Europe’s progress in finalizing a plan to strengthen the region’s banks. The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage rose sharply last week. The week before, it fell below 4 percent for the first time in history.

The Right Number? It All Depends

The Motley Fool Credit Scores 101

Q A

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning on borrowing money any time soon, and even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know your credit score. These days, even an overdue library book can end up affecting your score, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just potential lenders checking your rating, but also some potential landlords and employers. There are three main credit reporting agencies: Equifax (www.equifax.com), Experian (www.freecreditreport.com) and TransUnion (www.truecredit. com). When you hear of your â&#x20AC;&#x153;FICOâ&#x20AC;? score, that refers to the score developed by Fair Isaac Corp. and used by most lenders. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available via Equifax and Fair Isaacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site, www.myFICO.com. Fair Isaac, Equifax, TransUnion and Experian each calculate credit scores a little differently. Some lenders look at only one of the bureausâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scores, some look at all of them and take the average, some look at all and take the best â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and some take the worst!

Q A

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best number of stocks to own? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; P.W., Tucson, Ariz. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no one-size-fits-all answer. Ideally, you should concentrate your money on your best ideas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the companies you believe hold the most promise. If you think a certain 20 companies are most likely to increase your wealth, why spread your limited funds over an additional 10 or 20 (or more) less-promising firms? Spread yourself too thin, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to keep up with all your holdings, which you should aim to do at least every quarter. (Less often can be OK with some stable, established blue chips.) With 40 companies in your portfolio, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have 160 quarterly reports to read each year. Yikes! But focusing your money on too few stocks is also risky. You stand to gain or lose a lot. For most people, eight to 20 companies is a manageable total to shoot for. *** Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;vulture capitalism,â&#x20AC;? and how can I get in on the action? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I.J., Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a term for a kind of venture capitalism. Venture capitalism typically involves very wealthy investors pooling some funds and investing in small, risky, fast-growing companies in their early stages, well before they go public and raise money on the open markets. Companies such as Amazon.com, eBay, and even The Motley Fool have used venture capital money. Vulture capitalism involves these investors focusing on small companies that are in trouble. In such situations, they can demand exceptionally generous terms, at the expense of the companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; founders and insiders. The term can be applied to other situations, too, such as when an investor or even the government bails out a company in crisis and stands to profit handsomely.

One reason for the differences is that the agencies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t collect all of the same information. Some lenders may report your credit activity to one agency, but not another. There may also be a serious error on one agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, affecting its score. Fixing the error might help your score. Also relevant is when in the credit cycle your score is calculated. Lenders typically report to the credit bureaus the last amount you were billed as your â&#x20AC;&#x153;current balance.â&#x20AC;? If your reported creditcard balance is very low, then your â&#x20AC;&#x153;debt-to-available-creditâ&#x20AC;? ratio is going to be low, too, thus helping your score. But if you have a large balance, your score can take a hit. By law, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entitled to a free copy of your credit report from each bureau annually. You can get them all easily via www.annualcreditreport.com. You can (and should!) learn much more about the credit-reporting process. Poor scores can cost you thousands of dollars wasted in inflated interest rates on home and car loans.

Day-Trading Disaster

Park This Deere in Your Headlights

I started day-trading in 2007. In my first year, I was up about 50 percent. So I figured, why not mortgage the house and increase my available account by $300,000? Not too long after, I saw a certain stock going up very quickly. I managed to buy 30,000 shares at $16 per share, committing all my cash and a lot of borrowed (margin) money. I immediately put in an order to sell all of them at $16.50. I recall the shares going up to about $16.40 and then dropping rapidly. It was close to 4 p.m. and I finished the day down about $20,000. Two weeks later I sold the last 10,000 shares for $8.40. My $480,000 investment cost me $182,000 in less than two weeks. Later, the stock fell to under a dollar per share. I am now working at making my $1,774 monthly house payment with a $47,000 account. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; M., online The Fool Responds: Thanks for this painful reminder of how dangerous day-trading can be. A few folks might make money at it, but most people lose, and often lose quite a lot. Do you have an embarrassing lesson learned the hard way? Boil it down to 100 words (or less) and send it to The Motley Fool c/o My Dumbest Investment. Got one that worked? Submit to My Smartest Investment.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great about the agriculture sector is that when it does well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just farmers who make money. Businesses from fertilizers to farm equipment also stand to gain. Deere (NYSE: DE) is one such beneficiary. Its second-quarter revenues surged 24 percent, leading the company to raise its full-year earnings expectations. Higher shipment volumes and improved pricing have been boosting revenue by a compounded average rate of 6.8 percent over the past half-decade â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a whopping 26.8 percent over the past year. This strong top-line growth has helped Deereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bottom line grow by 118.4 percent over the past year. Deere has been quite aggressive with new products and global expansion, strengthening its foothold in markets such as China and India. The main concern on Deereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balance sheet is its debt load, but strong profit margins and ample cash provide some relief. Deereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s P/E ratio is in line with its peers, but given its strong performance and solid capital investments, it seems that its true potential has not been factored in much. Deere raised its dividend last quarter, the ninth quarterly dividend increase in seven years. Its dividend yield is a moderate 2.1 percent.

IN THE ARENA

Take the time to hear views at council forum

Global views are foreign to GOP hopefuls

WHAT ARE you doing tomorrow night? Planning to stay home? It is a Monday, after all. You might even think you deserve a much needed break. Perhaps you expended a great deal of energy over the weekend and are looking forward to that rare and indulgent pleasure of just doing nothing. Sorry, but you can’t let up just yet. There is a candidate forum (debate) Monday evening and you need to be there. The 28 candidates campaigning for seats on the all-important, 11-member Luzerne County Council are scheduled to face off in a two-hour discussion sponsored by The Times Leader and the Downtown Residents Association. The event will be held on the campus of Wilkes University on the second floor of the Henry Student Center, 84 W. South St., Wilkes-Barre. You will cast no more important vote on Nov. 8 than for the 11 individuals you choose to sit on the new county council. It is they who will select Luzerne County’s new manager — the “CEO” who will run county government for years to come. How serious is the decision that awaits you? Under the terms of the new home rule charter, it requires the votes of only seven members of county council — a majority plus one — to install the woman or man who will lead this region toward a better and brighter future or plunge it deeper into the bowels of despair, debt and decline. Elect the wrong seven, and someone whose major “qualification” is his well-connected brother-in-law will take the controls of Luzerne County, its enormous budget, its enormous debt, large workforce, faltering economy and the power to hire and fire. Elect the wrong seven, and the freedom train of reform, government study and hope will be derailed and careen headlong off a cliff of squandered years. It is important that you take time to attend The Times Leader/Downtown Residents Association presentation of candidates for Luzerne County’s brand new county council. The event is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. It will conclude at 8 p.m. Linger longer and you might have an opportunity to speak with the candidates and ask them additional questions. With only three weeks remaining before Election Day, Nov. 8, only a few of them will be looking for a quick exit. So make plans to attend. What’s the alternative? Monday Night Football? This week it’s the 2-and-3 New York Jets against the winless Miami Dolphins. Listening to a bunch of candidates answering a series of questions is certainly preferable to that sleeper. In any event, the game doesn’t start until 8:30 p.m. If you dash out as soon as the candidates finish speaking, you probably can make it home before the opening kickoff with no return, and certainly before Mark Sanchez throws his first interception. Go and listen to the candidates. Watch them closely. Take the full measure of each man and woman soliciting your precious votes for this position of incredible responsibility. The job requires smart people, steady hands and spines of steel. The very best council candidates are not all Democrats. Nor are they all Republican. This year, Republicans and Democrats must be willing to vote for a few candidates of the other party, plus a couple independents, in order to assemble the very best county council. There are 11 very good candidates to fill each of the 11 available council seats. But there are only 11, maybe 12. Can you pick them out of the crowd? Email me when you get home and let me know your thoughts and observations. “In the Arena” will make its endorsements on Oct. 30. See you tomorrow night.

FOREIGN POLICY hasn’t played much of a role in the Republican presidential race, and it’s easy to see why. GOP candidates’ remarks on our role abroad have ranged from the uninformed to the bizarre (with the exception of Jon Huntsman, who served twice as a U.S. ambassador). Front-runner Mitt Romney’s foreignpolicy speech last week had a Rip Van Winkle quality to it, as though he’d just awakened after a decade and was unaware of how the world had changed since 9/11. This is sad, because the country could use a serious national debate over what our global role should be in a time of economic turmoil and scarcity. But Republicans seem far more interested in hammering President Obama’s “weakness” abroad than addressing the real threats to our global standing. Romney may insist that “the 21st century must be an American century,” but repeating that mantra won’t make it so. Yet Republican wannabes have set forth no realistic roadmap for how America can maintain its role as global leader. Most have stumbled badly when asked foreign-policy questions. Texas Gov. Rick Perry confused India and Pakistan. Former Sen. Rick Santorum opined that we deal The GOP with Pakistan by seems unable cozying up to ousted to grasp that Pakistani dictator the world has Pervez Musharraf — who is now in exile changed and in London and faces that the Unitarrest if he returns ed States home. Former pizza king must adapt. Herman Cain made light of his foreignpolicy ignorance with a joke: “When they ask me who is the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan, I’m going to say ... I don’t know.” I won’t even start to track Michele Bachmann’s jumbled foreign-policy claims. Which brings me back to Romney, whose positions reflect the fact that he’s hired on a host of former George W. Bush advisers. He talks of restoring American strength by adding 100,000 U.S. troops and expanding defense spending. Yet he never mentions our budget crisis, although both parties have agreed defense cuts will be required to address it. He never explains how we can afford 100,000 additional soldiers when we’re overburdened with debt. Nor does he address what kind of strategic force we need to confront the threats of the future, which should determine the size of our forces. We’re unlikely to repeat the kind of ground wars we’ve waged in Afghanistan and Iraq, while drones and special forces are most effective for tracking down terrorists. Did Romney avoid these issues because he didn’t want to cite Obama’s success in sending special forces to kill Osama bin Laden? Perhaps. But it’s bizarre to pledge a vast increase in military manpower when you don’t say why it is needed. This lack of seriousness runs through every aspect of Romney’s foreign-policy posture. On Afghanistan, he’s backed off from an earlier pledge to bring troops home soon and now talks of a “full review” of our policy. Do we really have time for — or need — yet another full review? On the Middle East, he ignores failed peace talks but promises to focus aid and diplomatic efforts, even as Republicans slash the State Department budget. And on Iran, Romney talks tough — saying an Iran with nukes is “unacceptable” — but he doesn’t say how he’d act differently than Obama. Perhaps that’s merciful, because other Republicans (including the normally level-headed Huntsman) are talking of military strikes against Tehran. Never mind that most serious Iran experts believe a strike would not eliminate Tehran’s nuclear program,

EW YORK — Brace yourselves for the attack ads. Rick Perry’s Social Security plan might cost Florida its entire public education and prison systems. Mitt Romney is the

flip-flopper responsible for “Obamacare.” Or so declare just two presidential campaign videos on the Web.

Going after the president and each other, Republican candidates have been testdriving themes and previewing attack lines online for months, foreshadowing the TV ad war that’s all but certain to start soon in Iowa, New Hampshire and other early voting states. With less than three months before voting begins in GOP nomination contests, the candidates’ pitches and criticism will be streaming into voters’ homes, either by the campaigns or outside groups working on their behalf. For a change, TV ads from the candidates so far this year have been scarce. Some contenders, such as Romney, are stockpiling cash for a long nomination battle and waiting for voters to start paying attention to the race in earnest. After all, TV ads are one of the most costly expenses of any campaign. Most GOP candidates, like Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, simply don’t have the cash to wage an aggressive TV effort. Texas Rep. Ron Paul has done limited advertising in Iowa and New Hampshire, and has the money to go back on the air. Others, primarily Perry, could run TV ads sooner rather than later as they look to change the dynamics of the race. “A smart ad campaign can absolutely put Perry back in the game,” says Mark McKinnon, who was media strategist for Republican President George W. Bush’s campaigns. “He is supposed to be the voice of the anti-Washington crowd, but the debates took him off track. Television can get him back on the rails.”

OUR OPINION: SIGNS OF TIMES

AP PHOTO

Demonstrators opposed to Wall Street greed flex their First Amendment rights at a recent rally.

A true solution: Express yourself

EHOLD THE power of the simple, concise and highly visible protest sign. If nothing else, the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City and its network of copycat events across the nation has rekindled the notion that people can make powerful, even profound, statements with just an ink pen and some poster board. Or, if need be, the tattered lid of a cardboard box. “Jail the bankers.” “I am the 99%.” “This is what democracy looks like.” This in-your-face – or at least, on-your-corner – kind of expression has been sorely lacking in most of Luzerne County and Northeastern Pennsylvania in recent years, despite a sweeping public corruption investigation that calls into question exactly who’s in charge of our public schools, our county government, our legal system. Did it make you angry to learn so many of your taxpayer-funded institutions had been abused, even hijacked?

Were you frustrated? If so, it barely showed. Aside from a few small gatherings outside courthouses on key dates, there was nary a whimper. A certain segment of the population eventually did display its disgust at the ballot box, tossing out the traditional form of county government for something new. Others registered their complaints via letters to the editor. But given the gravity of the situation – 30-plus public officials and area power brokers charged with corruption – the response was insufficient. Is insufficient. Recommended reforms of the state’s court system await action in Harrisburg. Certain school districts have yet to take on important procedural changes, such as adopting a formal teacher hiring policy. In too many corners of the county, it’s business as usual. If that perturbs you, or you’re bothered by other perceived improprieties on the part of your elected officials and public institutions, let it show. “Silence = surrender.”

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Although a recession has become less likely, households still can’t be relied on to drag the U.S. economy out of its continued malaise.” Paul Dales The senior U.S. economist for Capital Economics assessed last week’s upbeat Commerce Department report on retail sales, which increased 1.1 percent in September – the biggest gain in seven months.

OTHER OPINION: FEDERAL FUNDS

Solyndra gives solar a bad rap

HINING A BRIGHT light on the Solyndra solar panel company debacle illuminates two facts: • The Obama administration’s deeply flawed handling of loan guarantees for the California-based (and now bankrupt) solar panel maker could saddle U.S. taxpayers with a loss of $535 million. • Solar power isn’t dying in this country and doesn’t deserve to, either. Early on, President Barack Obama helped make Solyndra a poster child for his green jobs initiative, visiting the company and saying, “The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra.” But evidence is mounting that the administration cut corners to funnel money to the

manufacturer. That’s a depressingly familiar story for Americans appropriately upset at how loosely federal funds too often are spent. However, harsh questioning of the very future of solar panel production in America – such as what U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, a California Republican, engaged in recently – is off the mark. In the first half of 2011, photovoltaic installations were 69 percent higher than a comparable period in 2010. And the amount of solar power consumed in the country has more than doubled in the last six years. Acting more prudently in the future, Congress should continue to promote private-sector investment in solar power. Kansas City Star

Reverse racism rampant thanks to Department of Justice AMONG THOSE who have been disappointed by President Barack Obama, none is likely to end up so painfully disappointed as those who saw his election as being, in itself and in its consequences, a movement toward a “post-racial society.” Like so many other expectations that so many people projected onto this little-known man who suddenly burst onto the political scene, the expectation of movement toward a post-racial society had no speck of hard evidence behind it – and all too many ignored indications of the very opposite, including his two decades of association with the egregious Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Those people of good will who want to replace the racism of the past with a postracial society have too often overlooked the fact that there are others who instead want to put racism under new management, to have reverse discrimination as racial payback for past injustices. Attorney General Eric Holder became a key figure epitomizing the view that government’s role in racial matters was not to be an impartial dispenser of equal justice for all, but to be a racial partisan and an organ of racial payback. He has been too politically savvy to say that in so many words, but his actions have spoken far louder than any words.

COMMENTARY

Beyond Wall Street protests lies a Jobs-like solution YOU NEVER hear anyone complain that Steve Jobs became a multi-billionaire. That tells us something important about what motivates the protests growing on Wall Street and in many other places on both sides of the Atlantic. The anger of demonstrators is not the result of envy or of politically motivated hostility against the rich. Instead, it is the understandable expression of frustration with a system that has richly rewarded people who, quite simply, do not deserve it. Whatever you think of the protests and the protesters, they have good reason to feel cheated. When we discovered that the world’s financial system was on the brink of collapse back in 2008, the government had to rush in to prevent catastrophe. It was not about saving the bankers; it was about saving the world. Like it or not, the economy needs solvent, functioning financial institutions. Some of the world’s top financiers, in fact, have historically played important, honorable, even heroic roles in helping hard-working, innovative entrepreneurs bring progress and prosperity. The American system rewards risk-taking, innovation and entrepreneurship. Americans, unlike Europeans, don’t object to a system in which people can get rich –

COMMENTARY FRIDA GHITIS even extremely rich – if they make great contributions to society. In the United States, people tend to not hate the rich because they believe one day they might join their ranks. If you invent the iPhone, the iPad, become a billionaire. No problem. But the other side of that covenant says you pay a price for your mistakes. In recent years, however, the great minds of Wall Street brought us calamity. And when their irresponsible, unintelligent choices undermined the entire economy, the taxpayers had to step in to pay the price. That prevented everyone from having to live through the 1930s again. But it allowed the bankers to rake in more billions despite the mess they had made. What surprises me the most is that it took so long for the outrage to reach the street, Wall Street. At the very least, the bank bailout should have included a provision preventing huge compensation for people working in firms receiving bailouts. Financial firms claimed the bonuses were needed to attract and retain their brilliant staff. But their brilliance was rather well hidden. Incredibly, in 2008, despite hundreds of

billions in taxpayers’ bailouts and trillions in losses for investors, that year also ended with huge bonuses for Wall Street. That year, Wall Street firms paid $18 billion in bonuses, according to the New York State Controller. The average bonus in the largest firms topped $265,000. In 2010, the average bonus for all firms was $128,000. That’s on top of salary, options and other perks. Many people receive millions each year. Meanwhile, everyone else had to pay. Retirees on fixed incomes received almost no interest on their savings because the Fed pushes down interest rates to stimulate the listless economy. Efforts to trim bloated government budgets mean government employees lose their jobs, services are cut, infrastructure neglected. We all pay the price for the mistakes of people who have thrived despite their incompetence. So, the anger is plainly justified. Until now, however, its expression – occupying Wall Street or taking to the streets – might be good therapy but it’s not very good policy by itself. This is when the spirit of “Be Like Steve Jobs” comes in. This is where people with passion and creativity emerge to design a well thought-out solution to these problems. Surely, there’s an app for that. Frida Ghitis writes about global affairs for The Miami Herald. Readers may send her email at fjghitis@gmail.com.

Obama saving face by blaming others WHAT DO you do if you can’t run on your record – on 9 percent unemployment, stagnant growth and ruinous deficits as far as the eye can see? How to run when you are asked whether Americans are better off than they were four years ago and you are compelled to answer no? Play the outsider. Declare yourself the underdog. Denounce Washington as if the electorate hasn’t noticed that you’ve been in charge of it for nearly three years. But above all: Find villains. President Obama first tried finding excuses, blaming America’s dismal condition on Japanese supply-chain interruptions, the Arab Spring, European debt and various acts of God. Didn’t work. Sounds plaintive, defensive. Lacks fight, which is what Obama’s base lusts for above all. Hence Obama’s new strategy: Don’t whine, blame. Attack. Indict. Accuse. Who? The rich – and their Republican protectors – for wrecking America. In Obama’s telling, it’s the refusal of the rich to “pay their fair share” that jeopardizes Medicare. If millionaires don’t pony up, schools will crumble. Oil-drilling tax breaks are costing teachers their jobs. Corporate loopholes will gut medical research. It’s crude. It’s Manichaean. And the left loves it. As a matter of math and logic, however, it’s ridiculous. Obama’s most coveted tax hike – an extra 3 to 4.6 percent for millionaires and billionaires (weirdly defined as individuals making more than $200,000) – would have reduced last year’s deficit from $1.29 trillion to $1.21 trillion. Nearly a rounding error. The oil-drilling breaks cover less than half a day’s federal spending. You could collect Obama’s favorite tax loophole – depreciation for corporate jets – for 100 years and it wouldn’t cover one month of Medicare, whose insolvency is a function of increased longevity, expensive new technology and wasteful defensive medicine caused by an insane malpractice system. After three years, Obama’s self-proclaimed transformative social policies have yielded a desperately weak economy. What to do? Take the low road: Plutocrats are bleeding the country and I shall rescue you from them. Problem is, this kind of populist demagoguery is more than intellectually dishonest. It’s dangerous. Obama is opening a Pandora’s box. Popular

A photograph by Aimee Dilger and words by Mark E. Jones

COMMENTARY CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER resentment, easily stoked, is less easily controlled, especially when the basest of instincts are granted legitimacy by the nation’s leader. Exhibit A. On Tuesday, the Democratic-controlled Senate passed punitive legislation over China’s currency. If not stopped by House Speaker John Boehner, it might have led to a trade war – a 21stcentury Smoot-Hawley. Obama knows this. He has shown no appetite for a reckless tariff war. But he set the tone. Once you start hunting for villains, they can be found anywhere, particularly if they are conveniently foreign. Exhibit B. Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin rails against Bank of America for announcing a $5 a month debit card fee. Obama echoes the opprobrium with fine denunciations of banks and their hidden fees – except that this $5 fee is not hidden. It’s perfectly transparent. Yet here is a leading Democratic senator advocating a run on a major (and troubled) bank – after two presidents and two Congresses sunk billions of taxpayer dollars to save failing banks. Exhibit C. To the villainy-ofthe-rich theme emanating from Washington, a child is born: Occupy Wall Street. Starbuckssipping, Levi’s-clad, iPhoneclutching protesters denounce corporate America even as they weep for Steve Jobs, corporate titan, billionaire eight times over. These indignant indolents saddled with their $50,000 student loans and English degrees have decided that their lack of gainful employment is rooted in the malice of the millionaires on whose homes they are now marching – to the applause of Democrats suffering acute tea party envy and now salivating at the energy these big-government anarchists will presumably give their cause. Except that the real tea party actually had a program – less government, less regulation, less taxation, less debt. What’s the Occupy Wall Street program? Eat the rich. From the Senate to the streets, it’s working. Obama is too intelligent not to know what he started. But so long as it gives him a shot at re-election, he shows no sign of caring.

For faking it, Hollywood style, the Oscar goes to … IT’S NEVER too early for Oscar buzz. Will Brad Pitt get the best actor award for his role as the canny baseball executive in “Moneyball”? Should Meryl Streep be the favorite as Margaret Thatcher in “The Iron Lady” even though nobody’s seen it yet?

Alas, the Motion Picture Academy hasn’t really created that Oscar category yet. But if it had, the competition would be fierce. In a trend that’s equally noxious for the cinema and the law, big-time trial lawyers have infiltrated the ranks of documentary filmmakers, using them as cover to covertly gather information, apply political pressure and poison jury pools. Consider these examples: • Director Jason Glaser, whose film “Banana Land” purports to document corporate exploitation of agricultural workers in Latin America, revealed in court last year that while making his movie he was secretly on the payroll of Provost-Umphrey, a big Texas law firm that represents banana workers suing Dole Food Co. over its use of pesticides. The law firm paid him $17,000 a month, testified Glaser, who was untroubled by questions of conflict of interest since he’s not a journalist but “a

In one clip, Donziger and his pals discuss how a court-appointed expert could exaggerate the damages against Chevron – while the expert sits right there in the room with them. In another, they chat about sending “an army” of demonstrators into the streets to make it clear what will happen to the judge if he rules against them. Evidence? We don’t need no stinkin’ evidence, Donziger says, dismissing scientific studies as “all for the court, just a bunch of smoke and mirrors and bull(bleep).” His real strategy: “You can say whatever you want and at the end of the day, there’s a thousand people around the courthouse, you’re going to get what you want.” Smile, Steve.

Marley’s Mission thanks supporters

n Sept. 17, before thousands in the San Diego Civic Center, Marley’s Mission was chosen “best new charity” in the United States at the third annual Classy Awards hosted by StayClassy.org, a leader in social fundraising for nonprofits. The Classy Awards sifted through thousands of nominations from across the United States in 12 categories, including best new charity. Prior to being judged by an esteemed panel selected by StayClassy.org, nominees were required to demonstrate their organizations’ popular support in an online voting campaign. Thanks to the outpouring of support from our Northeastern Pennsylvania family, Marley’s Mission received the most popular votes among all nominees nationwide! It also was the incredible support from this region that, on July 5, 2010, allowed us to

cut a magnificent blue ribbon marking the grand opening of Marley’s Mission on a 24-acre campus in Lake Ariel. Now, some 14 months later, we again express our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated network of supporters and volunteers who have propelled the Mission and its vision of healing children who have experienced trauma onto the national stage. Marley’s Mission provides horse-assisted psychotherapy to children who have experienced trauma. With the help of a dedicated team of professionals and some very special horses, the Mission has provided free care to more than 80 children across six counties in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The vision of Marley’s Mission, developed by April Loposky, program director of the Mission, arose from a story of personal tragedy. She and her family were embraced by this

community, as was her vision for healing children. Now, that embrace and support has extended across the United States. To each of you who have stood behind us, supported this amazing vision and dedicated yourselves to its success, be proud. Be inspired. You have made a difference. Thank you.

Government helped to save the Valley

➛

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2011

t’s obvious that the Army Corps of Engineers’ Wyoming Valley levee-raising project, plus a reservoir project upstream on the Susquehanna River, saved the Valley from disaster a few weeks ago. Residents need to thank former Congressman Paul Kanjorski for pushing this project through. Instead, the people elected a congressman who belongs to the political party denying global climate change and that apparently thinks the government shouldn’t help people. I doubt the free market would have raised the levees. The return on investment for our tax dollars on the levees was better than any private-sector investment. Plus, this project helped all the people, not only the wealthy. It’s popular for some politicians to complain about “big government,” but only government could have built a project like this that saved thousands of people from utter misery. Look at what happened to some people who

Boback explains property tax view

uzerne County Council candidate William “Bill” James is not owned by any clique, and he does not “play along to get along.” Remember, voters, approximately eight to 10 years ago, it was Bill James, Steve Flood and Steve Urban who tried to fight against closing the juvenile detention center, which led to the purchase of a new facility and turned into the kids-for-cash incident. Remember that he did not

ecently, The Times Leader published a letter (“Boback’s tax ‘solutions’ only serve to help rich,” Oct. 10) from a Dallas resident who criticized a property tax survey that I sent to the residents of my district. I am very sorry I offended this individual by asking for and caring about the opinions of those I serve; however, it has been and will remain my foremost duty to reflect in Harrisburg the will of the

residents of the 117th District. That is how democracy in a representative government is supposed to work. School property tax elimination is one of my top priorities because every day I hear from residents asking for this regressive and onerous tax to be abolished. The most heartbreaking stories are those of senior citizens who must decide between purchasing lifesaving medicines or paying their property taxes for fear of being taxed out of their lifelong homes. The cost of education should not fall solely on homeowners, and most homeowners are hardworking middle-class people. Eliminating school property taxes will require a tax shift because funding for public education must come from somewhere. It is easy to say that you want school property taxes to be eliminated; most people would say they would like to see all taxes done away with, but residents must face the reality that the tax will have to be replaced with an alternative. The purpose of the survey was to gauge how citizens would like to see this tax shift handled and to make

them aware of the various taxing options available. Please be advised these options are not my proposals, but they represent existing taxes in the Tax Reform Code. I recently introduced a measure that would go a long way in reducing school property taxes. My House Bill 1870, which I have titled the Marcellus Revenue Sharing Act, would assess a fee on drilling companies (not landowners) based on the gross value of units severed at the wellhead, with 35 percent of the proceeds going to the Property Tax Relief Fund, which is distributed to homeowners in the form of decreased property taxes. The remainder of the fee would be allocated to remediation of the impact of drilling, environmental programs, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and institutions of higher learning to research environmental, safety and other issues related to the development of natural gas in this commonwealth. To date, almost 400 residents responded to the property tax survey, and the results will be available on my web-

site, RepBoback.com, in the coming weeks. I welcome residents to visit my site and review the results. I also encourage individuals to contact my office with their opinions about property taxes and any other state matter. I always appreciate the input of those I humbly serve.

It gives every child an option and opportunity to attend private or public school, whether he or she is poor, middle class or wealthy.

am a candidate for controller of the city of WilkesBarre. I am a veteran of the U.S. Army and hold a master’s degree in business administration/accounting. I have worked for more than 10 years in nearly every capacity of the accounting field. I have experience as a company controller and am employed as the tax accountant for a large local corporation with international operations. I am writing to share with voters in the upcoming election on Nov. 8 just what the responsibilities of the city controller are. The responsibilities are as follows (per the city’s website): • To examine, audit and verify all books, records and accounts of the various administration and legislative units. • To examine and approve for payment all contracts, purchase orders and other documents by which the city incurs financial obligations. • To audit and approve all bills, invoices, payrolls and other evidence of claims. • To prepare and submit a complete financial report to the city council and the mayor at the end of every fiscal year. I want the voters to be aware of how I intend to execute the responsibilities of the office. If you choose to vote for me: • I am the only candidate who is capable of performing financial audits of the city’s finances. (My opponent cannot.) • I am the only candidate whose services will not require the hiring of outside audit assistance. (My opponent will.) • I am the only candidate who has extensive experience in finance with true, realworld experience. (My opponent does not.) • I am the only candidate who will provide the residents of Wilkes-Barre with the oversight of the city’s finances that

is the duty of the Controller’s Office, using whatever means are available. • I will provide the residents with a full report on the financial status of the city that is honest and open. I chose to run for office because I felt that the residents of Wilkes-Barre deserve an honest and open accounting of the tax dollars they entrust to city leaders to provide them with the services required by the Third Class City Code. Many years ago, as I completed high school, I chose to leave home and serve my country in the U.S. Army. Now I have chosen – with your permission – to serve you.

Reader backs school vouchers

ov. Tom Corbett unveiled school vouchers as part of his education reform plan. He likely will throw his support behind Senate Bill 1, a plan to give vouchers to families in chronically failing school districts. It’s not what many conservatives want, but it’s a start toward a broader program that hopefully will provide vouchers for low- and middle-income families in all school districts. A local radio talk show recently devoted three hours to the issue of school vouchers. The host repeatedly called vouchers “unconstitutional,” violating the separation of church and state. She was misinformed. In a 2002 Cleveland school vouchers case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that vouchers do not constitute the establishment of religion nor infringe upon the separation of church and state. It was a huge victory for school vouchers. The constitutionality of school vouchers is now settled law, provided the vouchers go directly to families, not schools. Wherever school vouchers have been tried, they have succeeded. Opposition is

Event funding is questioned

hame on the River Common Chalk Fest organizers for accepting sponsorship money from Chesapeake Energy. About 40 miles upriver, Chesapeake is installing a dam to siphon 2 million gallons of water a day from the Susquehanna River to be used in its natural gas well fracking operations – 2 million gallons a day that will be mixed with toxic chemicals. That is only one of many water extraction places. Chesapeake Energy apparently is throwing around money for events such as this as a public relations scheme to get people to think it really cares about the communities. It only wants to take our gas, then leave the area – just as the coal companies did. It is my understanding that the River Common group’s mission is to educate people about the history and uses of a healthy river. To me, its decision is like having Marlboro cigarettes sponsor a lung cancer event. The Susquehanna River has been deemed the No. 1 endangered river in the country by American Rivers, in large part because of the gas drilling industry. Let’s get a new committee in there that cares about the

health of the river, instead of only getting people in the park to sit on its banks and look at the river. I’d love to volunteer. Scott Cannon Plymouth

Mundy comments called inaccurate

he devastation from Tropical Storm Lee has left West Pittston in a state of disrepair never before seen and again saddled our beloved residents with financial and emotional burdens. One need only walk the mud-covered streets to witness neighbor helping neighbor recover from this tragedy. West Pittston’s borough officials participated in this effort. Mayor Tony Denisco and Councilman Brian Thornton spent countless hours tending to the needs of their neighbors and constituents. Despite the overwhelmingly positive and devoted efforts of these public servants, there are a select few, including state Rep. Phyllis Mundy, who shamelessly have tried to take political advantage of the vulnerability of this community. Over the past few weeks, many rumors and accusations have been directed at West Pittston borough officials and its building code inspector regarding home inspections performed following the devastating flood. The inaccurate comments made by some individuals require a clarification of what the law requires of the residents and public officials. Under Section 501 of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act, municipalities are required to adopt the Uniform Construction Code as their municipal building code. In accordance with Section 7210.501(b)(2) of the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, West Pittston, as most other municipalities, elected the state-authorized option to administer and enforce the code by the retention of a third party agency to act on behalf of the municipality

for administration and enforcement of the PCCA. The code also allows for municipalities to enforce their own ordinances that predate the state acts. It has been erroneously suggested by those who should know better that West Pittston inappropriately conferred a monopoly upon Advanced Code Group by allowing it to perform all inspections in the borough. First, other certified and qualified inspectors are not precluded from providing their services to the residents. However, the performance of building code compliance inspections is, by law, the exclusive authority of the third-party agency as an integral aspect of its enforcement authority. It also has been mistakenly rumored that West Pittston has charged inappropriate fees for building code inspections. Wrong again! Shortly after the flood, West Pittston had waived its portion of any building permit and inspection fees. Furthermore, the code does not establish fees for permit applications and inspections. All fees regarding building permits and inspections are set by the third-party agency in each municipality and are made publicly available. It is difficult to take Mundy seriously when she suggests that no permit costs or fees should be charged by contractors and inspectors. Does she really expect these people to work for free? For all her political and self-serving pandering, please know that the residents of this community see through her ill-timed political antics. Shame on you, Phyllis Mundy. Finally, I’d like to thank Congressman Lou Barletta, state Sen. John Yudichak and U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, who showed that they could roll up their sleeves and go to work for the people of West Pittston. Kevin Lescavage Council candidate West Pittston

difference. Another Romney Web video attacks Perry for a Texas law allowing children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition to attend public universities. It features a clip of former Mexican President Vicente Fox thanking Perry for helping “Mexican migrants” attend college. Businessman Herman Cain’s campaign has produced a Web video promoting his “9-9-9” plan to overhaul the federal income tax system that has become the central message of his candidacy. “Our tax code is the 21st century version of slavery,” Cain says in the spot — a provocative statement from a black candidate. While relatively few people see Web videos — Romney’s most popular one had just 372,000 views on his YouTube channel, and most of the rest didn’t break five figures — campaigns use the spots to attract press coverage, reinforce the candidate’s narrative and drive negative messages about an opponent that might later appear on television. Though voters today get their information from a wealth of

The Perry campaign also produced a hard-hitting Web video criticizing Obama. It pairs the president’s voice with scenes of city graffiti and abandoned homes, then cuts to images of farms, and American flags waving in the breeze intercut with clips of Perry announcing his candidacy. “It’s time to get America working again,” he says, reinforcing his campaign’s signature theme. Romney’s Web videos have focused mainly on criticizing Obama for his handling of the economy, using the slogan “Obama Isn’t Working.” Romney released one of those Thursday, assailing the president on international trade, coinciding with a speech Romney was delivering on trade. But Romney has also gone after Perry. In one video, directed at retiree-rich Florida, Romney highlights Perry’s proposal to let the states take over Social Security. “What could that look like?” the ad asks, suggesting the financial shortfall would be so great in Florida that the state might have to eliminate public education and its prison system to make up the

sources, TV ads remain a powerful way for a campaign to take its message directly to viewers and bypass the media filter. Still, only a few Republicans will have the resources to go on the air. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who advertised heavily in Iowa before winning the state’s Republican test vote, doesn’t have much cash and hasn’t been on the air since the summer. Gingrich, the former House speaker, and Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, lack major funding, too. Cain, a business executive enjoying a recent surge in popularity among conservative voters, also has struggled with fundraising throughout the campaign. Perry’s campaign has raised $17 million since he joined the race last summer, all but guaranteeing he’ll have the financial strength to compete with Romney on television. Romney has not yet released his most recent figures, but his campaign brought in $18 million through the end of June, far outpacing others in the field.

He will say, “Mitt Romney has more in common with President Obama than he does with Republican primary voters.” Perhaps previewing upcoming ads, the Perry campaign released a scathing Web video earlier this week comparing Romney’s successful push for health care overhaul in Massachusetts to President Barack Obama’s federal health care law, which conservatives deplore. With dramatic music playing in the background, the ad shows a news clip of Romney declaring “I like mandates” and features voice-overs from a news commentator saying “Romney has flip-flopped on so many issues.” Amid the fast-moving images, a message crawls across the screen: “Even the richest man can’t buy back his past.”

“These are the songs everybody knew from when we were young,” executive director Helene Tinsley said, explaining the dinner-theater program will contain songs from “Showboat,” “Annie Get Your Gun,” “Camelot,” “Oklahoma” and many other musicals.

“They’re the kind of songs, you’ll leave the place humming,” said Jake Wentland of Roaring Brook Township, who has been practicing his solo, “Ol’ Man River.” At 86, Wentland believes he’s the oldest member of the Mostly Opera group. But that’s not the only reason or-

Network gay roles dwindling By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — The number of gay and bisexual characters on scripted broadcast network TV has dipped slightly this season to 19 out of nearly 650 roles, according to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. The 16th annual “Where We Are on TV” report released recently by GLAAD found that 2.9 percent of actors appearing regularly on primetime network drama and comedy series in the 2011-12 season will portray gay, lesbian or bisexual characters. That’s down from 3 percent in the 2009-10 season and 3.9 percent last season, when there were 23 out of a total of nearly 600 roles. The 2008-09 season saw an increased representation of 2.6 percent. Only five of the 19 gay and lesbian characters this season are nonwhite, GLAAD found. Using information provided by ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and CW, the group reviewed 91 scripted series announced to air this season. Among broadcast series with gay and bisexual characters, GLAAD cited CBS’ “The Good Wife,” the CW’s “Ringer” and NBC’s “The Playboy Club.” Comedies include ABC’s “Modern Family” and Fox’s “Glee.” Fox leads the networks in gay representation, with eight regular characters out of a total of 117. The number of gay and bisexual characters on cable networks also has fallen slightly, from 35 last season to 29 in the upcoming season. As it did last year, HBO has the greatest number of gay and bisexual characters, with 11 regular and recurring characters. Showtime is close behind with 10. The HBO drama “True Blood” remains among the most inclusive series on television, with six characters, tied with the Showtime series “Shameless,” the group found. Some of TV’s most popular shows “weave story lines about gay and lesbian characters into the fabric of the show,” said GLAAD acting President Mike Thompson. “Americans expect to see the diversity of our country represented in their favorite programs, and that includes gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.”

MTV says goodbye to Generation X Network switches things up with new TV shows to better suit millennials’ pop culture By MEG JAMES Los Angeles Times

NEW YORK — For MTV, the situation was more than awkward. In fall 2008, the network was bingeing on manufactured reality shows that celebrated wealth and excess just as the country was staggering into a recession. Banks were failing, people were losing their jobs, and college students were facing uncertain futures. But on MTV, the glamorous clique from “The Hills” was indulging in West Hollywood shopping trips and geta-

ways to Cabo San Lucas. And on “My Super Sweet 16,” the parents of a South Carolina beauty queen spent tens of thousands of dollars to give her the perfect birthday party, complete with a baby-blue Hummer. “We needed a total reinvention, a complete overhaul,” Stephen Friedman, MTV’s president, recalled. At the network since1998, Friedman has steered many of MTV’s social and political causes over the years. He assumed day-to-day management of the youth-oriented cable channel just as the economy was sinking and cracks in the network’s program strategy were becoming glaringly apparent. The audience had shifted: The younger portion of the network’s 12-to-34-year-old target audience (those who make up the

millennial generation, born after 1980) exhibited different tastes and sensibilities from the post-baby boom Generation X. MTV had failed to adapt, Friedman believed, because it hadn’t done its homework. So he recruited an unlikely tutor: Nick Shore, a lanky Brit who had built a business with such offbeat assignments as probing the psychology of pain and figuring out the essence of Princess Diana. A mirror of American youth culture for three decades, MTV has to recalibrate regularly to keep pace with the zeitgeist. From round-the-clock music videos, to reality TV pioneer “The Real World,” to the heh-heh-heh of “Beavis and Butt-Head,” and the gotcha of “Punk’d,” MTV continSee MTV, Page 4F

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll easily match your energy to those around you. It’s not only good manners; it’s also economical for you to do so. You’ll put in the effort that’s needed to be effective — no more, no less. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your tasks are set before you. The only trouble is that you’re not particularly looking forward to any of them. A wild card in the mix will improve your mood and re-spark your interest. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have the best kind of power. It comes from a deep place in the core of who you are. So you don’t have to worry about protecting it to make sure no one steals it. They couldn’t if they tried. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a kind of bottleneck in your life. People are restricting your energy flow because they are trying to direct it in the way that best suits them, not you. Stand up for yourself, and break the bottleneck. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve been circulating in interesting ways — ways that will be helpful to others, not just you. You will speak plainly and directly on subjects that capture your curiosity, and others will be all ears. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In the beginning, it is said, was the word. Today you will feel the power of words, especially the ones you choose to say. You will also feel the power of the words you hold back. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As you promote your interests, you are promoting yourself, as well. People assume that anyone who can present things with such enthusiasm must really have a lot of good going on in their life. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). No one wants to be around a person who brings up his or her insecurities. And yet, there are those who habitually knock others down to get a feeling of superiority. Stick with those who treat their fellows with respect and dignity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be considered for a project. You would do a tremendous job in the role, but you need some guidance about how to best present yourself. Don’t try to do this alone. Give yourself the edge. Preparation will be the factor that determines your success. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your future is calling you. The thing is, you’re still on the line with the past. Luckily, you have “call waiting.” Hang up the phone with the past. Click over now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be torn between tactics. Should you try to fit in with the culture around you, or should you exert your independent spirit? Do both. First blend, and then, at a strategic moment, make your independent move. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a funny reason why you have to keep going in the direction you are going, but you don’t understand it yet. There’s something good in this: You relate to those in similar circumstances. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 16). You’ll enjoy a series of victories this year. With each win, you’ll build confidence. Your thoughts will shift to empower you. November brings an influx of cash. In January, a sunny new friend will help to elevate your spirit and enrich your daily life. You start the new year with highly productive bursts of creativity. Sagittarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 33, 29 and 19.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE

Siblings keep sister away from mom’s funeral Dear Abby: My mother’s family has never been close-knit, but what they did to her was despicable. My grandmother died recently, and not one person in the family called Mom to notify her. We saw it in our paper. No funeral details were mentioned, so we called the mortuary repeatedly only to be told arrangements were “still pending.” Mother tried to contact her sister, but got no response. She called her brother four times. He told her the same thing — the arrangements were pending. Two days later, Mom heard from another relative that her mother had been buried in a private ceremony with only immediate family. Mother called her brother again, and was told it wasn’t true — the arrangements were still pending. The next day, Mom and I went to the cemetery to see if the rumor was true. Imagine our sadness when we found my grandmother’s grave. Mom was heartbroken that she wasn’t able to pay her respects to her own mother. We went to my uncle to break the news to him, thinking he didn’t know, and were shocked when he admitted he had known all along about the arrange-

Abby, PLEASE tell your readers that no matter how dysfunctional family ties may be, everyone should be able to pay last respects to their own parent. And funeral homes should have the decency to tell callers that funeral arrangements are private rather than lying about it. — Brenda in Texas Dear Brenda: My deepest sympathy to you and your mother for your loss. Regardless of what caused the falling out with her siblings, their behavior was brutal and allowed her no closure. They have made it plain that she should keep her distance, and for her own sake I hope she will. It is obvious who “runs” that family, and further contact will cause your mother only more pain and frustration. Sometimes people have to build their own family, and that’s what I recommend you do.

He also sang with the Wyoming Valley Oratorio and the Scranton Singers Guild and, Tinsley said, he won so many prizes at the annual Cynonfardd Eisteddfod competition in Edwardsville that he “bowed out to give others a chance to win.” “We’re all so proud and happy that he’s going to sing with us,” Tinsley said. Members of Mostly Opera are happy to share their love for such comforting songs as “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from “Carousel” and such amusing numbers as “Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)” from “Annie Get Your Gun.”

But, Tinsley and Houck admit, they have an ulterior motive – they want audience members to be so enchanted by the Broadway tunes in the fall, they’ll decide to attend the group’s more operatic performance in the spring. “We hope when people hear the quality of the voices in our group, they’ll look forward to hearing some more,” Houck said. And, if all the familiar Broadway numbers make you feel like lifting your own voice, rest assured Friday’s event includes an audience sing-along of such favorites as “It’s Almost Like Being in Love” from “Brigadoon” and “Do-Re-Mi” from “The Sound of Music.”

ually pulls from its programming grab bag, most recently making headlines with “Jersey Shore” and “Teen Mom.” Now the chameleon network is at it again, launching a slate of scripted shows kicked off by “Awkward,” its latest hit, a smart, sweet half-hour comedy that would not have stumbled onto MTV’s schedule three years ago. Early signs are good, as prime-time ratings have climbed by 50 percent from two years ago. “This was a real opportunity to transform MTV once again,” Friedman said. “But we needed to let go of Generation X so we could own the millennials.” Shore, 45, got his start in London ad agencies and then spent 15 years as a marketing consultant in New York, with clients including Coca-Cola, Motorola and FritoLay. He once interviewed a halfdozen dominatrixes to help Johnson & Johnson better understand

the psychology of pain to market its pain relievers. For Coke, he was charged with defining the qualities of an icon. Lady Diana Spencer had it all: the hair, the vulnerability and the pithy nickname, “Princess Di.” Retooling “something so rich and juicy and iconic as MTV” presented the “ultimate branding challenge,” said Shore, MTV’s senior vice president, strategic insights and research. Other TV networks, including ABC Family and CW, had been quicker to recognize the tastes of the millennial generation. Shows including ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” were clicking with young viewers in 2008 and 2009 as MTV’s ratings were plunging. MTV faced turf incursions from all sides as the Internet, cell phones and video games commanded more of young adults’ time and focus.

Shore’s strategy has been to bombard MTV executives with interesting nuggets of information. He and his 32-member staff lob research notes about millennials called “M-Bombs,” and occasionally stage M-Days. Millennials were the first to grow up with the Internet, a powerful platform for expression, and they have no qualms about putting it all out for the world to see. “There is a very high premium on self-expression,” said Shore, who has two teenage daughters. “This generation ... can curate their identity through their Facebook profiles and present the best version of themselves to the

world.” “Life amplified,” is MTV’s current slogan. The network is in pursuit of stories that reveal and explore characters’ vulnerabilities. Authenticity, Shore and others say, is a critical component. “About the biggest put-down in the millennial world is to call someone fake,” said Carol Phillips, president of Brand Amplitude, a Michigan consulting firm. “They want to see experiences that feel real.” Snarkiness, the currency of Generation X, doesn’t carry the same appeal, partly, the researchSee MTV, Page 6F

Capturing White House Christmas By TISH WELLS McClatchy Newspapers

“Christmas With the First Ladies: The White House Decorating Tradition from Jacqueline Kennedy to Michelle Obama” by Coleen Christian Burke; Insight Books, San Rafael, Calif. (160 pages, $29.95)

By JOHN BRUMFIELD The Philadelphia Inquirer “On Canaan’s Side” by Sebastian Barry; Viking (256 pages $25.95)

illy Bere has decided to end her life after the violent death of her Army veteran grandson, recently returned from the first Gulf War. At 89, after a life whose leitmotif has been unremitting loss, she reasons, “It is only one last bit of life that I undo. Lord, it is nothing, absolutely nothing. A year or two.” • But before doing so, she decides on a final bit of stock-taking — what she refers to as her “strange confession” — that takes the form of 17 daily journal entries of richly detailed, often cinematic, reminiscence that jump cuts with the present and her dwindling number of friends. Stick around, though. This is no self-indulgent apologia, and Irish writer Sebastian Barry makes the fine distinction between sentiment and sentimentality with a deft hand. A reluctant Irish immigrant, Lilly arrives in the United States with her fiance in the 1920s. They’re on the lam from the Irish Republican Army, which has issued a death sentence on her man for being part of the hated Black and Tans, whose royal mandate was to suppress Irish revolution. Finding no kin in New York, they play out their days and nights living vigilantly in Chicago, where both the real and imagined shadows of IRA sympathizers loom constantly. A friendship with the not-yet-famous Armenian immigrant painter Arshile Gorky leads dramatically to one of the first of Lilly’s many losses — one that will chime chillingly with another toward the end of this fine novel. And it means Lilly must be on the move again. The kindness of strangers leads to better luck than that of distant relatives as Lilly’s peregrinations take her eastward to Cleveland, where she marries, is abandoned by her husband, and has a

child. She then moves to Washington, D.C., and finally to Long Island, where she finds her niche and her nest cooking meals for a wealthy Irish American family. She would remain there for the duration of her long life and form a bond with her loving but no-nonsense employer that allowed her the security so elusive in her earlier immigrant years. While the theme of loss is ever present, the overall tone of the book is far from morose. The sheer liveliness of Barry’s writing, his sure handling of the wide variety of characters and their dialogue, and the resilient Lilly herself all ensure that the novel doesn’t bog down in her sorrows. With all the quiet interiority and the equanimity with which events are recalled here, it’s easy to overlook how exciting those events were. The “plot” is full of surprises — many shocking. War, single parenthood, betrayal, unexpected acts of compassion, death too early — or in at least one case, too late — and race relations are all threads in the tapestry of Lilly’s life. Accommodations must be made at every turn and Lilly makes them, all the while maintaining her own moral poise.

“Christmas With the First Ladies” is an attractive addition to the plethora of books on White House history. Drawingonthematerialsfrompresidential libraries, Coleen Christian Burke has delved into history to put a human face on presidential Christmases as presented by our presidents and their wives. It starts in1961with the first administrationofJohnF.Kennedy,whenJacqueline Kennedy — better known to most as Jackie — put together her first Christmas in the White House. She was known for her sophistication and international experience, which was reflected in her Christmas gifts. As earlyasSeptember,“alettertotheU.S. embassy in Paris indicates beautiful Chanelchiffonscarveswerefoundand purchased for Mrs. Kennedy to give as presents.” Oneofthegreatdelightsincludedin the book are personal pictures gathered from presidential archives. Here at the private family Christmas in Florida, Jackie is not the glamorous first lady but a harassed young mother, dressed in a deep pink pajamas — and pearls — dealing with two lively children on Christmas morning. Each first lady brings her own human touches to the White House. In the hard times of 1975, Betty Ford’s “Patchwork Christmas” trees were adorned with handmade decorations, done to be thrifty. Unfortunately, at the end they were more “expensive thantheChristmasdecorations”ofthe first ladies who preceded it. In contrast,11years later, Nancy Reagan showed the country trees dripping with silver tinsel, fake snow and white lights during the “Christmas Special at the White House.” In 1983, she sat on the lap of gold-chain-festooned “The A-Team” star Mr. T — dressed as Santa Claus — who distributed gifts. Another touch in “Christmas With the First Ladies” is a page dedicated to each first lady, with a favorite recipe or decoration. Lady Bird Johnson gave us a Christmas cranberry salad mold, to be used “whenever you serve chicken or turkey.” Rosalynn Carter made inexpensiveornamentsoutofsmallconebirthday hats. After stuffing them with peanuts, gum drops and candy canes, she hung them on lace ribbons amid hundreds of white crocheted stars. “Christmas” covers everything from the history of the White House crèche to the gingerbread house, which every family gives its own touch. The result is a book rich with holiday spirit that brings the White House to life.

The best days in the orchard I

By ADRIAN HIGGINS The Washington Post

f you want to get a feel for the life, history and terrain of the Middle Atlantic, head north or west, to the foothills of the Appalachians and to the apple orchards that are enjoying their season. • The boughs are heavy with a fruit whose sweettart flavor seems to capture the essence of the landscape. I was indulging in this moment the other day, chewing on crisp apple slices as I took in the rolling pastures and hedgerows of eastern Pennsylvaniaandthepaleandstreakyskiesabovetheredbarns and gray silos.

An organically grown Liberty apple is ready for picking at the third annual Organic Apple Festival at the Rodale Institute near Kutztown.

InthePiedmontfromPennsylvania to Virginia and beyond, the apple has provided sustenance and comfort for generations of orchardistsandtheircustomers.Inthesupermarket, apples arrive yearround from other hemispheres; still, the local orchard and its season remain iconic. It is hard to gauge the regional apples’ better moment: the current harvest or the spring blaze of blossom. I remember driving one April past a large orchard and being overwhelmed by the geometric beauty ofhundredsoftreesinrankandfile, smothered in bloom. If I had stopped, I would have found the blush-pink flowers attendedbythousandsofhoneybees. The fruits of their labor could be found earlier this month in a 1,000tree orchard on the side of a hill in Berks County. I had driven to the third annual Organic Apple Festival put on by the Rodale Institute, the nonprofit group dedicated to advancing the cause and science of organic gardening and farming. Its 333 acres include pastures, crops and demonstration gardens, but it was to the hill above the stone and red-timber barn that I was drawn. The trees, planted in blocks of 25, are now probably 15 feet high and half that across, even with a regimen of winter pruning. “We haven’t fertilized in 20 years. Pruning is a big problem,” said Jeff Moyer, the farm director, who has

worked in these fields since 1976. The rural life seems to have served him as well: He has glowing complexion and walks briskly, with a coiled stride. Moyer,naturally,isabigfanoforganic methods of cultivation: Rodale’s publishing arm puts out Organic Gardening magazine, and thewholeenterpriseisnamedafter J.I. Rodale, the champion of organic gardening in the postwar years of better living through chemistry. Moyer and other disciples of the creed will tell you this: Organic gardening isn’t so much about replacing synthetic pesticides with natural ones as it is building soil life so plants are inherently healthier. That said, raising apples organically is a challenge. It’s a fruit beloved bybothpestsanddiseases.Themajor diseases include fire blight, which kills branches, and apple scab, which disfigures the fruit. The pests are legion, and a major culprit is the plum curculio, a weevil that pierces the young fruit and causes it to distort as it grows. In the Rodale orchard, the gardenerschoseLibertyandtwoother unnamedbutsimilarvarietiesfrom the venerable breeding program at Cornell’s Geneva Experiment Station in New York. The three varieties were bred for scabresistancebutstillneedalotof intervention. One strategy is to allow wildflowers to grow beneath the trees. This draws wasps and

otherinsectsthatpreyonthepests. The gardeners also rely on pheromone lures, which confuse pests and stop them from mating. It’s an approach that requires knowledge of not only what insect to target, but when. “In an organic system, it doesn’t mean no management,” Moyer said. “It means more intensive management.” Much of the fruit has a chalky bloom on it from the sprays of kaolin. By covering the fruit in this white clay, you minimize the pest damage.“Itwouldbelikeyougoing through six inches of chalk to get to your blueberry pie,” he said. Much of the fruit remains blemished, but that didn’t stop hordes of people braving a drizzly Saturday to gather the crop. To see many families with young children was heartening. The kids carried the bushelbasketsandclimbedintrees to pick the fruit. The apple harvest

becomes a formative experience to a new generation. And in this season of tree planting, what about planting apple trees in your yard for future harvest? Choose varieties that you like, are hard to find and resist disease. Plant at least two trees for good fruiting and think about the rootstock and ultimate size. Semidwarf stock will give you 15-foot trees, dwarf rootstock a more manageable 10 feet. I have no more room for apple trees, but if I were planting more, I would plant varieties of apples that hold up to baking, given the dearth of superior culinary apples in the marketplace. Phillip Baugher of Adams County Nursery in Aspers, near Gettysburg,recommendsanumberofdisease-resistant varieties bred with the home gardener in mind. In addition to Liberty, he suggests Pris-

tine, Crimson Crisp, Crimson Gold, Crimson Topaz and Gold Rush. The nursery (717-677-8105) is taking orders now but won’t ship until the spring. Appletreesaremorefussthanan ornamental such as redbud or dogwood, but why not go to the extra effort to have a pretty tree that not only marks the seasons but feeds the household? As Moyer says: “I tell everybody, ‘Just grow somethingyou’regoingtoeat.Itwillhelp you form a relationship with your food that you never had before.’ ” Andmorethananyotherplantin the garden, the apple tells a compelling story. Liberty counts as one of its parents the apple Macoun, itself the result of breeding at Geneva: Its parents are Jersey Black, now lost to cultivation, and the McIntosh, still very much with us. I grow McIntosh and love its spicy flavor. It is named for John McIn-

MTV

nant,” and in December it added “Teen Mom” and “Jersey Shore,” two gritty reality shows that were a dramatic pivot from the sundrenched escapism of “The Hills.” The series reversed MTV’s ratings slide and landed the network back on the cultural map. “Jersey Shore,” with its over-thetop partying and fighting, is partly a story about the search for love and acceptance — eternal themes for youth. And the show even gives an occasional shout-out to the unit most important to millennials: their families. “The characters themselves have become something of a family, and their moms and dads have been part of the show,” said Van Toffler, president of the MTV Networks Music and Logo Group.

“Before our evolution you would not have seen parents on MTV.” Now MTV is rolling out a new slate of shows, both scripted and reality, that hopes to speak to millennials in their own language. While it fell short with “Skins” and “The Hard Times of R.J. Berger,” MTV scored with “Awkward,” which debuted in July. MTV’s millennial mantra that “smart and funny is the new rock and roll” applies to the irreverent comedy. “Awkward” centers on 15-year-old Jenna Hamilton (Ashley Rickards), a witty nerd who is invisible at school until a freak accident, which everyone assumes is a suicide attempt (it wasn’t), makes her suddenly notorious. The quest for genuine voices is seeping into new reality offerings

too. On Oct. 11, MTV launches a documentary-styled program, “Chelsea Settles.” The show’s 23year-old heroine, Chelsea Settles, struggles with a tough decision: stay in small-town Pennsylvania with her seriously ill mother or move to Los Angeles to work in the fashion industry. Unlike the rail-thin blonds who populated MTV three years ago, Settles is black and weighs 324 pounds. Two scripted shows scheduled for next year revolve around millennial themes. The Doug Limanproduced “I Just Want My Pants Back” is about a group of 20somethings in Brooklyn navigating relationships, based on a novel by David J. Rosen. And MTV will introduce “Underemployed,”

a comedic stab at one of the biggest challenges facing young adults: overcoming the weak economy. Along with helping MTV find a new pop-cultural relevancy, the focus on what Shore calls “radical audience intimacy” is paying dividends. The network just ended its seventh consecutive quarter of year-to-year ratings growth. According to the Nielsen Co., nearly 1.2-million people on average watched MTV during prime time in 2011.

ers said, because millennials experienced a less hierarchical upbringing than did Gen Xers. Parents of millennials assumed the role of life coach or friend, a phenomenon called “peerenting.” “Millennials come from families that are more democratic and worlds spin around the kids,” Shore said. “This has created kids who have a sense of power, a sense of voice and kids who need to be listened to.” MTV already was overhauling its programming in 2009 when Shore came on board. That summer it had launched “16 and Preg-

tosh, the son of Scottish immigrants who moved to Ontario from New York after the War of Independence. He found it as a seedling as he was clearing land on his farm, and he came to call it the Red McIntosh. His son recognized its value and began propagating it commercially.

Steve Farrell, Owner/Broker of Classic Properties, is proud to announce that a new agent has joined Classic Properties in Kingston. Rebecca Tomlinson recently switched careers after 10+ years in college admissions. She was drawn to real estate for two reasons. First, she has enjoyed buying and selling homes both for herself and in conjunction with family and friends over the past 8 years. Second, she was greatly impressed with the professionalism of Carol Shedlock, Regional Manager of our Kingston Ofﬁce, who assisted Rebecca with her last purchase. “The family-like atmosphere where everyone is professional, polite and helpful” is what drew her to Classic. You can contact Rebecca in our Kingston ofﬁce at 718.4959 or on her cell phone at 460.2020. Please join us in welcoming Rebecca.
