Legal battle pricey for county Dispute concerning tax sale of W-B man’s properties has cost almost $90,000 since 2009.

Attorney John Dean of Scranton stands by numerous boxes filled with documents related to court actions filed by Joseph Reisinger of WilkesBarre.

Since 2009, Luzerne County has spent nearly $90,000 in legal fees in a protracted legal battle over the tax sale of 26 properties owned by a Wilkes-Barre man. Joseph Reisinger, an attorney, has waged an ongoing legal battle against the county, Wilkes-Barre

city, which has spent nearly $40,000 in legal fees, and numerous other private companies and individuals. Reisinger The dispute has included more than a dozen lawsuits and other court actions filed by Reisinger, who alleges he’s been the victim of a vast conspiracy perpetrated by numerous officials who are intent on wrongfully seizing his properties.

But attorney John Dean, who has represented the county in the cases, says Reisinger’s legal filings amount to nothing more than a meritless abuse of the legal system. At one time, properties owned by Reisinger had accumulated back taxes of nearly $1 million, according to court records. As of Oct. 13, there were 13 properties listed in Reisinger’s name with a total of $432,413 in back taxes, according to the Tax Claim Bureau. See LAWSUITS, Page 14A

One of the remaining two sections of the old Eighth Street Bridge gives way

Section of span collapses in river

By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

WYOMING – The weathered trusses of the old Eighth Street Bridge again came crashing down into the Susquehanna River Saturday, but this time it wasn’t planned. Two of the four spans of the111year-old camelback truss bridge were demolished with dynamite by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation in July. Early Saturday morning, one more of the remaining two sections of metal truss and roadway collapsed into the Susquehanna River. The truss farthest from the Wyoming river bank cracked in two and separated from sections of roadway that poked from through the fast-moving river waters, came to a rest partially below the new bridge, but did not appear to be touching the new Eighth Street Bridge, which

The concrete pylon that had supported the bridge near the center of the river had apparently collapsed and was not visible below the water’s surface Saturday afternoon.

WASHINGTON — By declaring the Iraq war over, President Barack Obama scored what his allies see as a fourth big foreign policy success in six months, starting with Osama bin Laden’s killing. But in his re-election bid, these events might play a discouragingly small role even if they burnish his eventual place in history. Voters tend to focus heavily on domestic issues, especially in times of high unemployment. That will limit Obama’s campaign options. His supporters are seeking ways to make the most of his foreign policy accomplishments. One approach is to contrast them with Congress’ partisandriven gridlock on taxes, the deficit and other domestic issues. “Look at the progress the president can make when he doesn’t have Republicans obstructing him,” said Karen Finney, a former Democratic spokeswoman who often defends the party on TV and radio. Democratic strategist Rebecca Kirszner Katz distributed a similar remark on Twitter this past week: “Terrorists and dictators, lacking the filibuster, have no effective defense against Barack Obama.” It referred to the stalling tactic that Senate Republicans frequently use to kill Democratic bills even though they hold only 47 of the cham-

The list of achievements, contrasted with President George W. Bush’s erroneous claims about Iraq’s weaponry in the first place, should help Democrats shake their image of being the weaker party on national security, she said. “That baggage is finally lifted,” Finney said. Translating that claim into votes for Obama13 months from now may be difficult, however.

said. “Otherwise, that’s going to be a problem for PennDOT to get their bridge out of the water.” Boyer said his greatest concern is that the final section of the bridge could collapse and distract drivers on the new bridge, causing an accident. He speculated that the demolition with dynamite charges of the first half of the bridge in July may have weakened the support structure, and that the high waters of the Susquehanna, which reached a record crest of 42.6 feet September 9, further destabilized it. The Susquehanna in WilkesBarre rose to ten feet at midnight Friday into Saturday, and had dropped to 8.5 feet Saturday, according to U.S. Geological Survey river gauge data. “I guess the presence of the high water and the blast from the demolition of the bridge weakened it,” Boyer said. “I’m not an engineer, but I would speculate that that’s what happened.” Luzerne County Emergency Management Agency Director Stephen Bekanich said he is not qualified to evaluate damage to the new bridge, but examined the half-submerged trusses of the collapsed bridge to ensure they were not catching debris and damming the river. Bekanich said three-quarters of the river channel remained unobstructed Saturday and the bridge debris was not obstructing its flow. “Our biggest concern is that if we have a high river, maybe in the mid-teens or 20s, it could create a kind of dam,” Bekanich said. “But right now it’s just something we need to add to our list of things to watch when the river starts rising.” He said he would discuss the matter further with the PennDOT contractor working at the bridge on Monday. PennDOT replaced the old Eighth Street Bridge with a new concrete bridge that opened in March because the old bridge, first opened in 1900, had become structurally deficient and had a reduced weight limit. Crews demolished the half of the bridge closest to the Jenkins Township bank of the River in July, using dynamite to destroy support trusses and separate it from the remaining half of the bridge. The bridge needed to be demolished in sections because an earthen dam was built to catch the bridge as it fell, and building it beneath the entire span of the bridge would dam the river.

DIVERSITY INSTITUTE

Sean Rector started ‘Teaching Young Men Excellence’ foundation

Inner city youth leader to speak By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – When he was 13, Sean Rector made the jarring transition from a Harlem junior high to the pastoral Milton Hershey School, a black inner city boy suddenly attending a largelywhite school where curriculum included milking cows. So leaving his current base in Los Angeles for bucolic Misericordia University next month should be easy. For starters, Misericordia’s Diversity Institute, which invited Rector to speak at a student leadership development program Nov. 5, doesn’t keep livestock, unlike the Hershey School in 1985. “When they said we had to milk cows, I wondered: ‘Couldn’t they hire farmers to do this?’” Rector said. “But I’m glad I

did it. Push comes to shove, I could be a pretty good farm worker.” Being “pretty good” at more than one thing is a central tenet for Rector, a former teachRector er and participant on the TV show “Survivor” who decided to help other inner city students succeed. Rector started the T.Y.M.E. Foundation, short for “Teaching Young Men Excellence,” and launched a program called “Boys to Men” in Los Angeles area schools. The goal is to help inner city students broaden expectations and successes through tutoring, extracurricular events and counseling. “I like to tell our kids to learn to be a

social chameleon,” Rector said. “Many of them want to be the one-dimensional athlete or rapper/entertainer, but that won’t survive these times. They need to not be so monolithic in their thinking.” Youths must learn to switch the way they talk and act in different settings so they fit in and advance, Rector said. The way they behave in the street won’t work when they apply for a job. Most of T.Y.M.E’s work is done through after-school programs. Rector said the organization has helped more than 4,000 students since it was formed about 10 years ago, and the best proof he has that it works is that former students come back to volunteer and mentor the next round of “Boys to Men” children. But Rector has also traveled and talked about his program, as he will at Miser-

icordia, discussing “ways others can help our children participate in society fully.” Rector has no strict agenda for his time at Misericordia – the program runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. He said he’s flexible in working with people who want to hear him. “I don’t get caught up in the audience as much as the message that needs to be heard.”

Natural line of products based on Hillside Farms’ signature scents are available for purchase at the store. By CAMILLE FIOTI Times Leader Correspondent

KINGSTON TWP. – Walking barefoot through the grass at The Lands at Hillside Farms, Danielle Fleming said she found the inspiration she needed to create the newest scents of her natural line of organic body scrubs, candles and lotions. Fleming, the owner of Scranton-based Danielle and Company, introduced Re-New, Re-Juvenate, ReConnect, and Re-Vive, the farm’s signature scents, at a luncheon in the Cottage at the historic farm Saturday. “As I walked around Hillside Farms, the grass was cold and dewy, and it felt great,” Fleming said. “I wanted to capture the actual feeling from the emotions I felt and put it into a bottle.” “Water,” “green,” “growth” and “floral” are the “When you themes represented in the scents, which smell the Fleming and her staff signature infused into the products, and are available scents for purchase at the you’re go- dairy store.

In keeping with the farm’s mission of sustainability and historic preservation, a former Hayfield Farms coach barn, which is more than 120 years old, is being reconstructed behind the dairy store. The barn will house the farm’s retail inventory, which includes a large selection of unique wood products made from trees on the grounds and should be open before Christmas.

Magic at the library By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

WYOMING – The Wyoming Free Library was transformed into the mythical Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry on Saturday as part of their Halloween Harry Potter festival. Local children dressed as characters from the successful J.K. Rowling series vied for their seat on the Hogwarts Express for a journey into the author’s wondrous world. The free event was sponsored by The Friends of the Wyoming Free Li-

brary and featured a number of magically themed stations that included face-painting, wand-making, and a class titled, “How to Take Care of Your Mythical Creature.” Refreshments featured Potter-inspired butter beer and chocolate wands, and local magician John Grahm entertained the eager crowd. “I want to have a big glass of butter beer,” said young Jacob Thomas of Dallas, who attended the festival with his family. The three Thomas children came dressed as starry eyed wizards.

Library Director John Roberts said the event was organized as a vehicle to get children interested in the magic world of books and to showcase the facility. Roberts said the library will hold an old-fashioned Christmas festival on Dec. 10 for local patrons. “What better way to celebrate Halloween than a Harry Potter day,” explained Roberts.

WILKES-BARRE – For people who brand all pit bulls as menacing and vicious, Jake Laino said they don’t know Jack. Laino tightly gripped a rope leash holding Jack, his 2-year-old pit bull as he greeted another dog Saturday afternoon in Kirby Park. The compact and muscular dog is friendly, likes kids and gets along well with the two cats, two Chihuahuas and Rottweiler that also reside at Laino’s home in Wapwallopen, Laino said. “He loves to play football,” he said. The teenager and his grandmother Nancy mingled with others at the National Pit Bull Awareness Day program presented by the Luzerne County Pit Bull Owners Group. The program that was scheduled to run from noon to 5 p.m. featured vendors, information and dogs available for adoption and aimed to present pit bulls as caring, loving and loyal. “There’s been no fighting, no biting,” said Nancy Laino of the interaction between dogs. She recalled how Jack became part of the family after being left behind by people who were selling a litter of dogs at a pow-wow. She said she was reluc-

tant to let her grandson bring home the dog based on what she had heard about pit bulls. She’s since become a supporter of the breed. “He’s a good dog,” she said. More people should get to know pit bulls like Laino and the owners group is there to help, said its president Christine Moskowicz. “We’re here to educate and assist owners so that they can be more responsible owners,” said Moskowicz of Trucksville, the owner of three pit bulls, Alex, Skylar and Pebbles. The non-profit group has a web site, www.lcpoinc.org and is on Facebook at www.facebook.com/LCPOgroup and

plans to be a regular participant in the awareness day program, said Moskowicz. “This is our first year, but we want to do it annually,” she said. The more people get to learn about the dogs, the better, added Tracee Kremski, vice president of the group. “Anytime you have a pit bull all eyes are going to be on you,” she said. Kremski welcomed the attention paid to Levi, her 2-year-old dog. The animal had been stabbed and was in foster care when she adopted it. “As soon as I met him, I fell in love with him,” she said.

Wilkes on ‘G.I. Jobs’ list “G.I. Jobs” magazine named Wilkes University to its 2012 list of Military Friendly Schools. This list honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are embracing America’s service members and veterans as students. Currently 55 veterans are enrolled at Wilkes, which participates in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Yellow Ribbon Program, to provide education benefits for post-9/11 veterans. The list of Military Friendly Schools was compiled through research and a data-driven survey of more than 8,000 schools nationwide. The 1,518 colleges, universities and trade schools on this year’s list prioritize the recruitment of students with military experience. DUPONT

Libya’s National Transitional Council to move forward with changes

B R I E F

Liberation to be declared Libyan revolutionary fighters coming back from Sirte are welcomed at Al Guwarsha gate in Benghazi, Libya, Saturday. Rebel fighters this week claimed Sirte, the hometown and last stronghold of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi, who was killed.

Flood waters take longer to recede

A Thai Buddhist monk smokes a cigarette as he wades along the flooded Weeru Wanaram temple at Don Muang District, in Bangkok, Thailand, Saturday. Thailand’s catastrophic floods may take up to six weeks to recede, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said Saturday. Excessive monsoon rains have drowned a third of the Southeast Asian nation since late July, causing billions of dollars in damage and putting nearly 700,000 people temporarily out of work.

TRIPOLI, Libya — Libya’s new leaders will declare liberation on Sunday, officials said, a move that will start the clock for elections after months of bloodshed that culminated in the death of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi. But the victory has been clouded by questions over how Gadhafi was killed after images emerged showing he was found alive and taunted and beaten by his captors. The long-awaited declaration of liberation will come more than two months after revolutionary forces swept into Tripoli and seized control of most of the oil-rich North African nation. It was stalled by fierceresistancebyGadhafiloyalistsinhis hometown of Sirte, Bani Walid and pockets in the south. Sirte was the last to fall, but Gadhafi’s son and one-time heir apparent and many of his fighters have apparently escaped, raising fears they could continue to stir up

trouble. With Gadhafi gone, however, the governing National Transitional Council was moving forward with efforts to transform the country that was ruled by one man for more than four decades into a democracy. In Tripoli, residents said they were relieved Gadhafi was killed, not captured, allowing the nation to move forward with-

out fear that his supporters would try to sabotage the transition to democracy. The transitional leadership has said it would declare a new interim government within a month of liberation and hold elections for a constitutional assembly within eight months, then to organize a parliamentary and presidential vote within a year after that.

SANAA, YEMEN

Clashes in capital kill 20

lashes between Yemeni government troops and a renegade army unit C killed at least 20 people, including three civilians, in the capital Sanaa on Saturday, officials said. The fighting broke out early Saturday between renegade soldiers joined by allied tribal fighters and government forces in the Hassaba neighborhood. The district has been the scene of a tense standoff for months between forces loyal to embattled President Ali Abdullah Saleh and rivals who have sided with protesters demanding the longtime leader step down. Saleh has managed to cling to power despite the mass demonstrations and growing international pressure resign. On Friday, the U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution urging Saleh to immediately accept a power transfer deal and end escalating violence.

BILBAO, SPAIN

Basque separatists protest

Tens of thousands of Basque separatists held a rally in the region’s largest city Saturday, two days after armed militant group ETA declared it was abandoning violence. Many Basque political leaders were present at the march in Bilbao, carrying banners saying “The Basque region wants solutions,” a reference to a long espoused yearning for greater regional autonomy. Some demonstrators could be heard shouting for a return of ETA prisoners to jails in the Basque region. Pello Urizar, secretary general of party Eusko Alkatasuna, called on Spanish leaders to commit themselves to a political solution to regional tensions like the British did to end separatist violence in Northern Ireland. COLUMBIA, S.C.

Fox hires former governor

Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is joining Fox News as a political commentator through the 2012 presidential elections, a Fox Channel spokeswoman confirmed Saturday. The network spokeswoman told The Associated Press the two-term Republican governor has been hired as a contributor, though she declined to give any details on his pay or when he would start. Sanford was a rising political star before he vanished from the state for five days in 2009, and reporters were told he was hiking the Appalachian Trail. When he reappeared, the father of four admitted to being in Argentina with a woman he later called his soul mate. LAS VEGAS

Caucus postponed to Feb. 4

Nevada Republicans decided Saturday to shift the date of the state’s presidential caucuses to Feb. 4 and avoid penalties from the national party for meddling with the election calendar. It was only about two weeks ago when state party leaders set Jan. 14 for the nominating contest. They said moving the date from Feb. 18 would still give the state a big early role in determining the nominee. But the change jumbled the election calendar and led New Hampshire to threaten to move its contest to the December holiday season.

Exotic pets prove to be costly

Economic downturn contributing to unwanted animal problem like the case in Ohio. By MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press

Yadah used to be an adorable baby. Now he’s a cranky 5-year-old with a willful streak and a $250-per-month food bill, and Shannon Pandarvis is desperate to get rid of him. Pandarvis’ brown capuchin monkey has become too expensive for the out-of-

work utility worker and his wife, but the couple can’t find a sanctuary to take him in. Days after dozens of lions, tigers and bears were slain by police after an Ohio man mired in debt freed them from his preserve, rescue organizations say the economic downturn is contributing to a problem that’s existed for as long as exotic animals have been kept as pets. Sanctuaries have neither the space, nor the financial wherewithal, to come to the rescue of overmatched owners who can no longer care for their big cats, monkeys or even parrots. Some sanctuaries have closed their doors, contributing to

the population of unwanted, difficult-toplace beasts that can cost $10,000 a year or more to maintain. “If you want to place a big cat, I would tell you that every reputable sanctuary is full and more than full,” said Patty Finch, executive director of the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries, an accrediting body. Even rescues that were financially strong a few years ago, she said, have been forced to dip into their reserves to meet expenses because private donors and foundations have reduced their giving amid the prolonged economic slump.

Aussies concerned over shark attacks

State government promises action after third fatality in recent weeks. By ROD McGUIRK Associated Press

CANBERRA, Australia — A great white shark killed an American recreational diver on Saturday in a third fatality in recent weeks off southwest Australia that has shaken beach-loving residents and sparked fears of a rogue predator targeting humans. Australia averages fewer than two fatal shark attacks a year nationwide. The state government has promised to hunt the killer and is considering more aircraft surveillance off west coast beaches as whales migrating in larger numbers attract more sharks. The first sign that the 32- Premier Colin year-old Ameri- Barnett, the can man, whose name leader of the and hometown state governhave not been ment, took released, was in charge of the trouble as he dived alone official rewas when a sponse on stream of bub- Saturday, bles erupted on telling reportthe ocean surers that the face beside his 25-foot dive shark will be boat, police hunted and said. His two hor- killed if posrified compan- sible. ions on the boat saw his lifeless body surface and a 10foot great white swim away, Western Australia Police Sgt. Gerry Cassidy said. The shark struck 500 yards north of the picturesque tourist haven of Rottnest Island, which is 11 miles west of a popular Perth city beach where a 64-yearold Australian swimmer is believed to have been taken by a great white on Oct. 10. Authorities cannot say whether the American was killed by the same shark that is believed to have taken Bryn Martin as he made his regular morning swim from Perth’s Cottesloe Beach toward a buoy about 380 yards offshore. But an analysis of Martin’s torn swimming trunks recovered from the seabed near the buoy pointed to a great white shark being the culprit. No other trace of Martin has been found. “It’s a cloudy old day today which is the same as we had the other day with Cottesloe, and they’re the conditions that sharks love,” Cassidy said.

Iraqis face future without U.S. troops Many Iraqis fear increases in violence, Iranian influence and political turmoil. By REBECCA SANTANA and LARA JAKES Associated Press

BAGHDAD — For the first time in decades, Iraqis face a future on their own, with neither Saddam Hussein’s iron fist nor the United States’ military might to hold them together.

This has been both their dream and nightmare: They wanted American troops (the occupiers) to go, but they wanted American troops (the protectors) to stay. Now many fear an increase in violence, growing Iranian influence and political turmoil after President Barack Obama’s definitive announcement that all U.S. forces will leave by the end of the year. Nearly 40,000 U.S. troops remain in Iraq, all of whom will withdraw by Dec. 31, a deadline

set in a 2008 security agreement between Baghdad and the administration of thenPresident George W. Bush. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki Al-Maliki told reporters he still wants American help in training Iraqi forces to use billions of dollars worth of military equipment that Baghdad is buying from the United States.

Savvy way to shop: Coupon use is on the increase First-half 2011 coupon redemption volume reached $1.75 billion, data shows.

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

Marketing data support the contention that coupon use has increased nationwide. Valassis, a media and marketing services company, revealed

that first-half 2011 coupon redemption volume reached $1.75 billion, a 2.9 percent increase compared to the first half of last year. In total, consumers saved $2 billion in the first six months of the year, according to the U.S. Mid-year 2011 Consumer Packaged Goods Coupon Facts Report, released in July. Research also shows that coupon users do not have the nega-

tive stigma attached to themselves that they once did. And younger users are also viewing the glossy pieces of paper with bar codes as useful. A study conducted this year by Campus Dibs, a social commerce website for college students, polled college students across the country about couponing. The findings seem to indicate that coupon users are looked at

as savvy as opposed to cheap, and that the traditional stigma attached to using coupons in social settings is waning. In fact, among nearly 650 college students polled about their couponing behavior, 80 percent

said they are willing to use a coupon while out with friends, and 36 percent said that they are willing to use a coupon to pay for a first date. “While we can hypothesize that everyone loves to save cash

– especially the college set – it’s fascinating to see how the psychology of couponing is shifting,” said Garren Givens, cofounder and CEO of Dibsie.com. “While past generations may have been embarrassed to use coupons, today we’re seeing that people are increasingly open to saving money – alone and in groups – to the point that it could be considered cool.”

for years, but like many others, as the economy tumbled and the number of online coupon sites increased, she found herself spending more time trying to save money. Dennis Curtin, a spokesman for Sunbury-based Weis Markets, said the region has long been a coupon-using one. “Coupon use in our markets has always exceeded the national average but has ticked up slightly in our stores over the past year. With the poor economy people are more focused on saving money – shopping the ad, using your club card for gas savings and redeeming coupons,” Curtin said. Schiel estimates she saves up to 70 percent at drugstores and close to 50 percent at grocery stores, thanks to coupons and store card discounts. Some weeks are better than others depending on sales but she can’t pass up a product she could get for free or next to nothing if she has a coupon, even if she doesn’t need it immediately. “I’m buying things before I need them,” she said. Popular items to stock up on include toiletries and paper goods. “You shouldn’t pay a lot for anything in your bathroom,” Schiel said. It’s not unusual for Schiel to carry a red and gray binder strapped over her shoulder, loaded with hundreds of coupons. Colleen Waldron, of Wilkes-

Here are some tips on getting the most out of your coupons: • Check out store coupon policies. Some accept Internet coupons, some double up to a certain amount, some won’t accept “free” item coupons and others may allow you to stack manufacturer coupons with store coupons. Know the rules before you shop. Each store has posted policies at the service counter. • In addition to coupons in Sunday newspapers, there are plenty of other places to find them. There are coupon displays at grocery, drug and convenience stores and inside of store circulars. The Internet is quickly becoming the best place to find coupons. Sites such as coupons.com, redplum-

.com, couponnetwork.com and smartsource.com have a plethora of printable coupons. Search product websites to see if they have coupons. And check Facebook pages for products as they’re fast becoming popular coupon posting locations. • Watch for expiration dates. Don’t let a good coupon expire. • When a buy-one, get-one-free sale is held, use two coupons to get two products for less than the price of one. • Don’t let coupons go to waste. Look for friends or family members to trade coupons with. Politely ask friends, coworkers and relatives who don’t use their coupons if they would give them to you instead of disposing of them.

Barre also doesn’t let the nasty looks from other shoppers bother her. “Sometimes I am in line while the cashier is doing the coupons and I hear the customers sighing in disgust,” Waldron said. “Well, too bad. I am not going to miss an opportunity to save a few bucks.” She coupons for the fun of it and to save money but the weak economy didn’t spur her to increase her coupon clipping activities. She spends only about two hours a week chasing down deals, but those 180 minutes save her at least $15 per week. The white envelopes containing coupons sorted by the month they’ll expire have become as important to her as car keys and a wallet. “I never leave home without coupons,” Waldron said. While Waldron and Schiel fit into the perceived coupon clipper age group of older than 40, Goldie Van Horn not only

breaks that mold but has been doing so for a decade. The 30-year-old Drums resident was using the bar-coded ads since she was in college. She said there’s “a perception that it takes a lot of time” to really save money, but she said she does it in two hours or less each week. She sorts her clipped coupons into a red and tan accordion file case – a gift from her husband Bill. Bill Van Horn, who has an accounting background, has actually created a spreadsheet to track her savings each week. Her total spending through September was $1,349.87 and total savings, according to the information stores provide on receipts, was $1,663.12. That includes club card savings, sales and coupons.

pons alone, she’s saved close to $600 this year. The three women said there is a stigma attached to coupon users, but that it’s slowly dissolving. Schiel said coupon users are associated with being cheap. But she said she knows people who have money who use coupons and people who don’t who use coupons. She said it’s a smart use of time and more people have begun realizing how helpful coupons can be for one’s budget.

Polish and proud of it

Nanticoke college student’s essay is honored at Pulaski Scholarship Ball. By JOHN KRISPIN jkrispin@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Being Polish paid off for one local college sophomore this weekend. The Pulaski Scholarship Committee of Northeastern Pa. held its second annual Pulaski Scholarship Ball at the Gus Genetti Hotel and Conference Center Saturday evening and awarded a $2,000 scholarship to William Borysewicz of Nanticoke, a second year sociology and theology student. “His essay was really the best, and the judges all thought that,

too,” said Rose Marie Carlin, the committee’s publicity director. Borysewicz holds a 4.0 GPA at King’s College. The winner read his essay on “What My Polish Heritage Means to Me” and was awarded the scholarship, which increased in value from the inaugural year last year. The essay, which accounts for half of the basis for the scholarship (the other half being financial need, grade point average, and school community and church involvement), was unanimously voted on by judges. “We have sponsors for our programs, and plus the people who come in and paid for their dinner, that goes toward the winning students,” said Carlin. “Hopefully, maybe next year, it will be better

Artist gives presentation of ‘slam’ poetry, which she said incorporates unique rhymes. By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE – Elizag, aka Elizabeth Gordon, described herself as more of a traditional poet until six months ago. Now she presents poetry that parallels the hip-hop genre of the music industry. Gordon presented some of her “slam” poetry as part of Third Friday at Arts SEEN Gallery on Public Square Friday night. “One day I was on the subway in North Philadelphia,” said Gordon, “and I heard some black youths reading poetry with unique rhymes that I wanted to incorporate into my own style.” Gordon, based in Albany, N.Y., said that slam poetry is usually competitive and has given her the opportunity to stand before a microphone in various cities. “In Binghamton,” she said, “there is an ‘open mike’ every night

ry. Bob Heim, who shows his cartoons at the gallery, said all types of artists are welcome at Arts SEEN. Heim said the gallery exhibits the work of various types of artists including cartoonists, clothing designers, furniture craftsman, painters and photographers. He said prose and poetry readings of all types were appreciated by the patrons of the gallery. Although Gordon expressed respect for the “dead white guys,” whose poetry was groundbreaking and historic, she also said she embraces the opportunity to move forward and to reflect the diversity of our present culture in her work. The approximately 20 people in the audience were unanimously positive in their response to Gordon’s work and many applauded af-

William Borysewicz, of Nanticoke, is the recipient of this year’s Pulaski Scholarship Ball award of $2,000 in celebration of National Polish-American Heritage Month. The King’s College student is in his second year in the sociology and theology fields, attaining a 4.0 GPA. The winner read his essay on ‘What My Polish Heritage Means to Me’ at the event held at the Gus Genetti Hotel and Conference Center in Wilkes-Barre Saturday evening.

because it’s a great time. When people come to it, they tell their friends and they bring more people the following year.” After reading his essay, Borysewicz thanked members of the committee. The Ray Suda Orchestra performed during the ceremony. The event was held in celebration of National Polish Heritage Month. A proclamation from Gov. Corbett’s office was read to the audience at the event. Pulaski Day was Oct. 2. The scholarship and ceremony’s name is derived from Casimir Pulaski, a Polish born soldier. He is known for his contributions to the U.S. military in the American Revolution by training its soldiers and cavalry.

Poetry’s answer to music’s hip-hop ter each presentation. Rachael Goetzke, an area poet, described Gordon’s presentation as “effective” and “fearless.” “Slam poetry can be shocking,” said Goetzke, “but always with a purpose and a message.” Gordon, who recently published a book entitled “Walk with Us,” about her experience as a nanny to triplets in the inner city, encourages the public to access her website, www.walkwithus.info to learn more about her work. Paul Funke, a volunteer for Arts SEEN, said the event reflected on the increased cultural awareness of the city and increased awareness of the gallery’s presence. Many of the attendees also took time to admire the artwork of area artists displayed and sold at the gallery. Arts SEEN Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Arts SEEN welcomes new artists who pay a small monthly fee to display and sell their work. Arts SEEN is also attempting to establish another gallery in Pittston.

Purchase of trout is transaction not taxed by Pa.

Is this exemption fishy? By PETER JACKSON Associated Press

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

A signature book is surrounded by photos of Leonard Maday at the memorial Mass for the musician at Exaltation of the Holy Cross Church, Hanover Township, on Saturday.

Late local musician is honored Leonard Maday, frontman of popular 50s tribute band, died Sept. 13. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

HANOVER TOWNSHIP – Friends, fans and fellow performers gave local musician Leonard Maday a final standing ovation Saturday. Maday, the animated frontman of ‘50s tribute band Tom Slick and the Converted Thunderbolt Greaseslappers Show Band, passed away Sept.13 at his home in Florida, and was remembered at a Mass and memorial service at Exaltation of the Holy Cross Church Saturday. Maday, 59, was known for his flamboyant stage persona and antics, which included running across the tables of the area dancehalls where the band made its name in the early 1970s. “He would run up and down the tables at jobs,” fellow Greaseslapper “Rock and Roll” Rick Joseph said. “He’d knock over drinks, and the people would just love it. I could say he’s the most

unique person I’ve met in my life.” “He really wasn’t a trained musician; he wasn’t a trained anything, but he knew how to vocalize and he understood the importance of showmanship and salesmanship,” said Leonard’s brother John Maday. “When you came to a Tom Slick show, you knew you were going to get this character.” John Maday said his brother carried the energy he put into his character into his real life. Leonard Maday was a teacher at St. Aloysius Elementary School in Wilkes-Barre and schools in other states, as well as a radio show host in Colorado. “He was the kind of guy you couldn’t say no to,” John Maday said. “He could rally people; he could get them to drop something and say, come on, let’s get this done.” Maday was an original member of the band, which grew out of the King’s College Glee Club in the early 1970s. The band played locally at venues such as the Highlight in Kingston, and toured the East Coast. The band members went their separate ways after a few years,

but Maday formed a new incarnation of the band, the Tom Slick Show Band, after moving to Colorado. He later retired to Barefoot Bay, Fla.. The local band reformed in the 1990s, and performs several times a year to this day. For larger benefit shows, Maday would return to the area to front the band. On Saturday night, the band played its their annual Monster Mash show at Bentley’s in Ashley, keeping a picture of Maday on stage with them. “Some of the routines that we’ll be doing tonight, Lenny was the one that thought of those,” Joseph said. “We’ve done a lot without Lenny, but I’m sure tonight they’ll be certain songs that we’ll look around and think of Lenny.” Maday is survived by his brothers, John Maday, Wilkes-Barre, and Michael Maday, Edwardsville, daughter Chassidy Bond, Barefoot Bay, Fla.; son Ryan Burton, Kansas City, Kan., and four grandchildren, as well as other relatives. He was preceded in death by his wife of 20 years, Krista Lynn Maday.

HARRISBURG— In Pennsylvania, even trout get a tax break. Exemptions potentially worth billions of dollars in revenue riddle the state sales tax law, and the purchase of brook trout, brown trout and rainbow trout is one of the dozens of transactions that the Legislature has, well, let off the hook. It’s unclear whether anyone benefits anymore from the trout exemption, which has been on the books for nearly three decades and is limited to certain purchases of fish not used as food, according to the state Revenue Department. But many exemptions affect people across the state, and the purpose of each one is spelled out in the governor’s budget. The $1 billion-plus exemption for most foods and beverages — like the one for clothing — is intended to lighten the burden of basic necessities on Pennsylvania families. The exemption for candy and gum is said to provide uniformity in the taxation of food. The exception for newspapers and magazines is intended “to encourage citizens to be wellinformed.” Exemptions for manufacturing machinery, equipment and supplies are designed to protect buyers of the finished products from “multiple taxation.” Other exemptions include caskets, textbooks, coal, firewood, prescription drugs and over-thecounter drugs. There is also a blanket exception for services provided by such providers as dry cleaners, undertakers, advertisers, scientific consultants, computer programmers, physicians, hospitals, lawyers, archi-

gations, but the key issue involving the county focused on Reisinger’s claim that officials violated his constitutional rights to due process and equal protection by failing to intercede in a legal battle he had with Nova and the Cadle Company, which held the mortgages on the properties in question. Reisinger had renegotiated the loans on his properties in 2003 after he began experiencing financial troubles, according to court documents. As part of the new agreement, a portion of the payments were to be held in escrow by the mortgage holders to pay back taxes. Reisinger alleges the companies never made any payments on his behalf, however, resulting in the properties going up for tax sale. Nova and Cadle have disputed those allegations in court documents. Lawsuits related to those allegations remain pending in county court. Reisinger maintained the Tax Claim Bureau had an obligation to intervene in the lawsuits against Nova and Cadle because the bureau advised him to enter

Congressmen Lou Barletta & Tom Marino want to give billionaire T. Boone Pickens $10 Billion of YOUR tax dollars.

HR 1380, known as The NAT GAS Act, represents growing manipulation of the energy market by Washington, DC, driving up energy costs and the price you pay for gas.

HR 1380 is more business as usual from Washington and would put traditional means of energy production at a huge disadvantage while giving more government handouts to special interest groups and investors who want your tax dollars to insure their investments, instead of earning their money honestly. Please tell Congressmen Barletta and Marino that you want them to vote against Crony-Capitalism and against HR 1380: The NAT GAS Act.

into the agreement with the firms to escrow his taxes. “If you tell me to do something and I rely on your assertion – instead of paying my money to you I pay it to the bank – you are bound to help me obtain that money,” Reisinger said in a recent interview. “I relied on their statement. They had an obligation to step forward and help me get those funds.” But Dean said the Tax Claim Bureau had no duty to intercede in a private civil dispute between Reisinger and the mortgage holders. “The Tax Claim Bureau’s job is to collect taxes from people who don’t pay taxes,” Dean said. “If a taxpayer has an agreement with a mortgage company to pay taxes, that’s none of the Tax Claim Bureau’s business.” Complaint dismissed U.S. District Judge Richard P. Conaboy dismissed the first federal complaint in February 2010, finding that the suit was an at-

tempt by Reisinger to have a federal court overturn the state court rulings that upheld the tax sale – an issue that is procedurally barred in federal court. He also determined the county had followed all required procedures in selling Reisinger’s properties. Two months after Conaboy issued the ruling, Reisinger filed a second suit in county court against numerous county officials. That suit was transferred to federal court at the defendants’ request. Conaboy dismissed it within a week, finding that it raised nearly identical allegations as the first suit that was dismissed. Reisinger acknowledged the federal court claims were dismissed, but noted he was still permitted to file other claims contained in the suit in state court, which he did. In August 2010, Reisinger filed a new suit in county court against various county officials, Nova, Cadle and others that again raised the issues of due process

Latest suit targets judge That failure to rule is the key element of the latest lawsuit Reisinger filed on Oct. 14 against Brown and the other 26 defendants. The complaint alleges, in part, that Brown has intentionally refused to rule on the matters as part of a conspiracy with Tax Claim Bureau officials, who don’t want a ruling because they know they will lose, Reisinger alleges. For instance, in the cases challenging the property sales, Reisinger filed objections in 2009. Brown has yet to decide the matter. Such rulings are typically issued within 60 to 90 days, Reisinger said. “He has been sitting on those things for 730 days. During those two years the Tax Claim Bureau has illegally sold my properties,” Reisinger said. “Why would he wait over two years? . . . . There is absolutely no reason other than to allow them to keep my money.” Dean said the allegation that he or any other county employee has colluded with Brown to delay the rulings is “ridiculous.” Federal court rules allow a defendant to seek to recover legal fees if an attorney knowingly files a lawsuit that has no merit. Dean has not done that in prior cases filed by Reisinger, but said he will do so if he succeeds in getting the latest suit transferred to federal court and dismissed. “He has a right to file an action, but if he files an action that’s without merit, he has to pay for it,” Dean said.

TOM MOONEY OUT ON A LIMB By KATHERINE LONG The Seattle Times

EATTLE — When he was 8 years old, Gabriel See got a score on the math part of the SAT that would be the envy of most highschool seniors. • When he was 9, he galloped through high-school Advanced Placement math and science classes — calculus, statistics, physics, chemistry and biology — scoring a perfect 5 in each subject.

When he was10, he worked on T-cell receptor research at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. When he was 11, he won a silver medal at a competition on synthetic biology for undergraduate college students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Last month, at 13, Gabriel was named one of the top 10 high-school inventors in the country by Popular Science magazine, even though, technically, he’s attending a juniorhigh school. Ernest Henley, physics professor, dean emeritus at the University of Washington and a member of the National Academy of Sciences, has never met a student quite like him. See GABRIEL, Page 11B MCT PHOTO

In addition to his academic studies, ultra-gifted student Gabriel See, 13, of Sammamish, Wash., is on a swim team, takes music classes and plays Ultimate Frisbee.

MEET ARIANE PUPALI MARSICO CLARK VAN ORDEN /THE TIMES LEADER

riane Pupali Marsico is a principal partner with Vgogh Gallery & Custom Picture Framing in Kingston. Marsico, 25, is a graduate of Dallas High School, studied marketing at Wilkes University, and helped open the business in August of 2007. She has a son, Noah, 3. They live in Kingston.

You’ve been in the art and framing business for nearly five years. What inspired you to open the store? “I’ve always had a natural attraction to interior design, and artwork can really transform a room. And I generally love business. This industry caught my interest because it kind of brings together design, manufacturing and business all into one.” You did have some prior experience in the industry, but decided to learn more, correct? “I was working with a company that focused on corporate art, but I wasn’t exposed to the retail end of this business. I knew I wanted to be involved on the corporate end, because I was familiar with it, but I also took the time to learn every aspect of the business, right down to framing things myself. I can do a complete frame job from beginning to end on my own.” You’ve said that some of the things that you enjoy the most about your work are helping find the right mattes and

that mean a lot to people. “Yes. My favorite part is probably the design and the preservation. It’s great to be able to be a part of preserving history. The original reason for custom framing was to preserve things. Framing can make a huge difference. You can take something that somebody might pass by on a table, and when you frame it, and it’s up on a wall and it’s displayed really well, it kinds of adds importance to it.” What do you enjoy doing in your free time? “Noah is here at work with me a lot. He’s grown up here with me, and I spend a lot of time with him here and outside of work. I also enjoy running. I ran track in school and I run a lot. I’m training for a 10K. And I watch ‘24’ on Netflix.” Favorite color? “Navy blue.” Music? “It’s a variety. I listen to everything from Regina Spektor to Billy Joel to classical jazz.” Follow sports? “The Steelers and the Yankees. Big fan.” Favorite food? “Mediterranean cuisine and Middle Eastern cuisine.” Favorite city? “New York.” Always in fridge? “Pellegrino. And lemon.” Favorite place to vacation? “Myrtle Beach.”

Favorite book? “As a parent, I love ‘Nature Shock’ by Po Bronson. And ‘The Tipping Point’ by Malcolm Gladwell.” Favorite quote? “‘Hakuna Matata,’ from ‘The Lion King.’ No worries.” Proudest professional moment? “With this business, I created a kind of brand and a new idea, where there was nothing. Having an empty storefront and absolutely nothing to start with — just having ideas in your head, and have it turn in to something tangible is pretty amazing. At our opening, we had more than 200 people come through. We were so accepted and so welcomed by the community, and it’s never ended. It kind of stands out in my mind, and I think about it all the time. I created a future for myself and for my family, and also created a place in the community where people come to us for help. We’ve had council members and different organizations ask us to chair events, and before, there was nothing here. Vgogh just sort of progressed on its own, and we’re just a part of it. I love small businesses and how they can transform a community.” Alan K. Stout writes about area people for the Meet feature. Reach him at 970-7131.

Ethnic historian to speak about Rusyn heritage

o John Righetti, there are few if any more misunderstood ethnic groups than the Carpatho-Rusyns. The group has a sizeable presence in Europe and North America, but use the term in front of almost anyone except an ethnic historian or highly experienced genealogist, and you’re likely to draw a blank stare. That’s why Righetti, president of the National Carpatho-Rusyn (car-PAY-tho ROO-sin) Society is bringing his message to Wilkes-Barre next month. In a presentation that should be of interest to many area genealogists, he will speak in the Snyder Room, third floor of the Sheehy-Farmer Campus Center at King’s College 2:30-5 p.m. on Nov. 5. The historical problem, as Righetti sees it, is that the Carpatho-Rusyns occupied land in Ukraine, Poland and Slovakia that too many other people coveted. “We sat on the most volatile piece of real estate in Europe,” he said. “Everyone needed the Rusyn homeland to achieve some political goal.” The Soviet Union, he said, suppressed the Rusyns so severely that declaring your Rusyn identity was a crime, and so it became easier (and safer) to call yourself Ukrainian, Polish, Slovak or some other ethnicity. To this day, many people of Rusyn descent are not even aware of their Rusyn heritage and believe incorrectly that their ancestry is something else from Eastern Europe. His upcoming talk is entitled “Rusyns and Slovaks: Similarities and Differences.” He urges anyone who suspects he or she has Rusyn ancestry to attend. “They’re welcome to bring their documents with them, and after the presentation I’ll be happy to look at them.” Righetti estimates there are some 600,000 Carpatho-Rusyns in the United States, with about 30,000 in Northeastern Pennsylvania alone, a group Righetti estimates as the third largest concentration in America. The Eastern Pennsylvania chapter of the Carpatho-Rusyn Society is sponsoring Righetti’s talk. It’s only in recent decades that the Rusyn ethnicity has come out of the shadows. Righetti dates the modern appearance from the 1989 breakup of the Soviet Union when it “bubbled to the forefront, perhaps within months.” Organizations like his quickly followed, he says, “to develop Carpatho-Rusyn culture on both sides of the Atlantic.” Righetti operates out of the national headquarters in Munhall, Pa. Why the focus on Slovaks in his upcoming talk? As Righetti sees it, the Slovaks and the Rusyns have had much in common through the years. They lived, worked and worshiped together in Slovakia, yet they are “as different as the Italians are from the Spanish.” For that reason, he hopes that area people of Slovak descent will attend his talk. “I find it builds bridges between the Slovak and Rusyn communities. They should work together for the good of their cultures.” The society’s website is at www.carpathorusynsociety.org. It contains, among other things, information on Rusyn genealogy. News Notes: Congratulations to Tony Brooks, executive director of the Luzerne County Historical Society, on his fascinating tour of the historic Forty Fort Cemetery recently. Earlier tours this year traced the route of the 1778 Battle of Wyoming and explored Wilkes-Barre architecture and the Hollenback Cemetery. Don’t miss the next meeting of the Northeast Pennsylvania Genealogical Society on Tuesday, when Donald Sanderson of the Anthracite Heritage Foundation will speak on “Was There a Miner in Your Family?” The meeting will be at 7 p.m., Oct. 25, in the Burke Auditorium of the McGowan Building, King’s College, West Union and North River streets in Wilkes-Barre. It’s open to the public.

Are luxury automakers pulling back on standard features? BY HAN COBLONSKI Luxury is disappearing from the luxury car. At least, based on one

of the most telling factors—the features that come standard on luxury models—it would appear to be the case. In the past, luxury cars pulled no stops, pouring luxury into every detail, inside and out. Compared to those luxury cars of yesteryear (even yesterday), today’s standard-feature list often seems downright draconian. Looking at a cross-section of top sellers, it’s immediately apparent how many basic “luxury” features no longer come with the base model of some car brands. Instead, they

turn up as costly additional “Options” for which the consumer must pay extra. Some models charge extra for leather seat trim. Some make you pay extra for wood detailing or a sunroof. One popular model even makes you pay more (quite a bit more) to have an automatic transmission. Still another charges extra for industry-standard 17-inch wheels. All told, these “extras” can add up to thousands of dollars consumers never expected to pay. More than that, it begs the question whether a base model luxury car that does Please turn to page C9

lege â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is not a good fit, his dad says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keeping him engaged is critical, and so far, reasonably successful,â&#x20AC;? said William Monahan, Gabrielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Advanced Placement (AP) biology teacher at Eastlake High. In elementary school, Gabriel was placed in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program for highly capable students, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until third grade that the adults around him started to realize the depths of his intellectual abilities. At age 8, he began teaching himself calculus and physics from sources he found on the Internet. Curious to know how much he was learning, his parents signed him up for the SAT; he scored a 720 out of 800 on the math portion, placing him in the 95th percentile for college-bound highschool students. That score plus Gabrielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s math notations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he had written out pages and pages of solutions to math and physics problems â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sent the Sees to Elizabeth Sirjani, who was then the math chair at Eastlake. She confirmed that Gabriel had taught himself AP-level math and physics work on his own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started scrambling then,â&#x20AC;? said Phelan, of the Lake Washington districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accelerated program. Gabriel began taking math and

science at Eastlake, while remaining in elementary school for music, gym class, recess and library. When he was 9, he joined Monahanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biology class, a college-level course usually taken by highschool juniors and seniors. Too small to see what was going on while sitting in a regular chair, Gabriel often ended up perched on a table, his short legs swinging in space, Monahan said. By November, he had finished reading the AP biology textbook on his own. He grasped the science quicker than students twice his age, and when it was time to do a biology lab, â&#x20AC;&#x153;he would get in there and tell the seniors, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Let me get it done,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Monahan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been, almost at every turn in the road, a unique experience,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a beautiful mind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty unique here.â&#x20AC;? His teachers say Gabriel is capable of digesting and storing information in great gulps, and then making connections with other things he had already learned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything I threw at him, he just got,â&#x20AC;? said Melissa Nivala, who was a graduate student in the applied math department at the University of Washington in 2007 when she began tutoring Gabriel in graduate-level math. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And he loved it. We would work until I was

mentally exhausted. I would tell him, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, we need to stop, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tired of thinking.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Nivala would give Gabriel a textbook on a subject â&#x20AC;&#x201D; say, chaos theory â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Gabriel would read the book in a few days. He could then answer specific questions and open-ended questions on the subject. He even remembered the exact page number in the book where certain formulas first appeared, Nivala said, hinting at a photographic-like memory. For any parent whose child has unusual intellectual gifts, finding the right program is a challenge; for Gabrielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been that process on steroids. In 2008, Jason See found a way for Gabriel to do research at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. And in 2009, he persuaded professors in the University of Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Bioengineering to let Gabriel join a team that was assembling an entry for MITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition for undergraduates. Jason See keeps a thick folder, filled with letters of recommendation from professors, test scores and transcripts, to help reinforce the somewhat hard-to-fathom story of his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments.

takes music classes and plays Ultimate Frisbee on Fridays. Quiet and reserved, Gabriel is most comfortable discussing advanced mathematics or molecular biology. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good with questions about typical teenage pursuits, but he will explain to you the concepts he is studying in applied linear algebra this fall, if you are smart enough to understand him. When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in class, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working through a stack of books at home; he keeps a list of everything he has read. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absorbed 52 textbooks on science and math: read the physics lectures of Richard Feynman, and books on robot programming, systems biology, immunobiology, fractals, Latin (a new passion), music theory and the work of Fibonacci, Rene Des-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frankly, I have never seen a boy of his age who displays as much intelligence and aptitude for learning,â&#x20AC;? Henley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is one of a kind.â&#x20AC;? That kind of off-the-charts intelligence comes with a conundrum, though: Because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 13, Gabriel is not emotionally ready to handle programs designed for older students. His intellectual abilities raise the question: How do you map out an education for a boy at the extreme end of the gifted population? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next for Gabriel,â&#x20AC;? said Dan Phelan, who oversees accelerated programs for the Lake Washington School District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of us are puzzling a bit right now ... Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing work thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way beyond what I can understand. But socially, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not ready to be set loose in the adult world.â&#x20AC;? Gabrielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Jason See, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trying to find the right program for him is very difficult. There is no program that caters to his level. He is out of the norm for the supergifted.â&#x20AC;? His parents, Jason and Valerie, want him to have a normal teenage upbringing, so for half the day Gabriel attends a small, arts-oriented junior-high school in the Lake Washington School District called Renaissance School of Art and Reasoning, where he takes dance, drama and language arts. He has taken an upper-level math class at the University of Washington each quarter since 2010; this quarter, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s applied linear algebra.

GABRIEL Continued from Page 11B

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gabrielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad is a pretty good advocate for him,â&#x20AC;? Phelan said. The iGEM competition has been Gabrielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most public success, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what caught the eye of Popular Scienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s editors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We originally had some other undergraduates interested in the project,â&#x20AC;? said postdoctoral student Sean Sleight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (Gabriel) pretty much intimidated them, because he was so brilliant. We

kind of joke that he did more in one summer than a team of undergraduates.â&#x20AC;? With occasional help from bioengineering professor Herbert Sauro, Gabriel built a prototype model of a robot that could disperse small amounts of fluid into a plate of 96 wells. The greatest challenge was getting the robot to make tiny, precise movements in space â&#x20AC;&#x201D; requiring Gabriel to puzzle out math formulas, and then write original computer programming that would allow the robot to move in three dimensions. Gabriel is quick to point out that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t successful right

away: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first one failed mostly because it was unstable.â&#x20AC;? The project required him to do three-dimensional trigonometry, which â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not elementary stuff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you do that in university,â&#x20AC;? Sauro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And he worked it out himself.â&#x20AC;? The project won a silver medal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was quite a bit of buzz that year at iGEM,â&#x20AC;? Sleight said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this 11-year-old that turns everything on its head.â&#x20AC;? Gabrielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s machine could be built for about $750, much less than the $10,000 price tag for such machines, which would make it more affordable to startup compa-

nies and small universities. Because the interface is not userfriendly, though, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a product that could be built for the mass market, Sauro said. Still, it hints at Gabrielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an intellect so powerful already that he can see unique solutions, or possibly find ways around problems that stump other researchers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe nobody will ever stamp his diploma, but he will be doing research that far exceeds what most people can comprehend,â&#x20AC;? Monahan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably find a cure for cancer,â&#x20AC;? Sleight said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or something bigger.â&#x20AC;?

Following two crisp games during a split in St. Louis, the teams played a messy Texas shootout that saw the fourth and fifth innings alone drag on for 1 hour, 22 minutes.

HERSHEY - Now this is more like it. It seems all it took to toughen up the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins was the start of a tough road trip. Brad Thiessen thwarted an avalanche of early shots and Bryan Lerg continued his hot early-season shooting Saturday as the Penguins finally found their winning ways again by hammering arch-rival Hershey, 3-1 at the Giant Center. The victory PENGUINS was WilkesBarre/Scranton’s second straight in as BEARS many nights both away from home. "We needed back-to-back wins," Lerg said. "We needed to string together a couple wins." An added bonus to the twogame surge was it pushed the Penguins over the .500 mark for the first time this season at 3-21-1. The number 0 looked better to Thiessen. The third-year Penguins goalie stopped all 17 shots against him in an action-filled first period, signaling Thiessen would be difficult to beat for the rest of the night. He was. Aided by a tenacious Penguins defense, Thiessen only had to turn away three more shots in the second period and seven in the third. He finished with 27 saves and helped the Penguins thwart five power play opportunities for Hershey. "For me, personally, I knew I had to play better," Thiessen said. "The first couple games were up and down." He had the upper hand for most of Saturday. By the time Boyd Kane finally broke through against Thiessen for Hershey’s lone goal, it was way too late for the Bears to rally back. Meanwhile, Thiessen’s team-

Penn State’s Devon Smith, left, celebrates his touchdown with Curtis Drake (7) during the first quarter of Saturday’s game against Northwestern.

EVANSTON, Ill. -- For the first time all season, Penn State dropped all pretense. The Nittany Lions coaches knew it would take every last point to beat Northwestern, and they treated it as such. No quarterback rotation. No trick plays. None of the politicking seen in the first seven weeks of the season. Penn State took Northwestern’s best punch and outscored the Wildcats in the first half and then made enough adjustments to shut them down in the second. The result was a 34-24 win Saturday night at Ryan Field. The Lions’ sixth straight victory gave coach Joe Paterno 408 in his Hall-of-Fame career, tying him with Eddie Robinson for the most alltime in Division I history. “Thank God I’ve got the staff we have,” Paterno said in a tiny interview room after the game as fans pounded on a nearby window and yelled his name. “The staff has done a great job. They really have. “If there’s anything I’ve done, it’s I’ve tried to be a mediator when we’ve had some differences of opinion. See PSU, Page 3C

Grenadiers capitalize on Warriors’ turnnovers GAR scored touchdowns off two second-half takeaways en route to victory. By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

Wyoming Area dropped to 5-2. Both teams remained in first and second, respectively, in the District 2 Class 2A standings. “They’re a good football team,” said GAR quarterback Darrell Crawford, who rushed for a game-high 136 yards. “I’m sure we’ll see them again in the playoffs.” Last year, the game was tied 13-13 when a Wyoming Area fumble deep in GAR territory just before halftime allowed GAR to seize control and come away with a 23-13 win. The Warriors had a similar fate Saturday night.

WILKES-BARRE – One turnover changed the momentum last year. Two did the trick Saturday night. GAR turned two second-half fumble recoveries into touchdown drives to swing the momentum and take home a 37-30 victory over Wyoming Area in a Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2A-A showdown. GAR improved to 7-1, while See GAR, Page 7C

With the rival, but still inspired

HE HAD TO resist his urge to rejoice. It was a moment that used to elicit a shout of excitement from Scott Stuccio, watching Brian Gibbons score a power play goal for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins against the hated Hershey Bears. But the old radio voice for the Penguins is the new play-by-play guy for the Bears. So as much as he wanted to revel in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s success Saturday night, Stuccio was forced by the circumstances to curb his enthusiasm. "I did, sure," Stuccio admitted before the Penguins faced the Bears for the second time this season Saturday. "You get to be friends with the guys. It’s hard to separate that when you travel with them all the time." During the offseason, Stuccio traveled to the other side of this bitter AHL rivalry. He left Wilkes-Barre for Hershey and what he perceived to be a better opportunity for him and his broadcasting career with the AHL affiliate of the Washington Capitals. It wasn’t as dramatic as Johnny Damon leaving the Boston Red Sox for the "evil empire" of the New York Yankees. Or as rage-inducing as Jaromir Jagr spurning his old Pittsburgh Penguins team to sign with the Philadelphia Flyers this season. But Stuccio definitely crossed the line into enemy territory. Hometown boy finding a niche He grew up in the Laflin section of Wilkes-Barre, graduated from old Bishop Hoban High School, landed a job as a public relations director and radio voice for his hometown Penguins in 2007. "I’ve spent two years of my life out of the (Wilkes-Barre) area, when I went to Penn State to finish my degree," Stuccio said. So how can he brag about the Bears when something inside him still wants to promote the Penguins? "You root for them silently," Stuccio, 38, said of the Pens. "You’ve got to separate that. You want to see everybody you know like that succeed. We’re broadcasting them trying to get to the NHL." It’s that type of professionalism that took Stuccio to Hershey in the first place. Hershey’s Giant Center is home to Stuccio now, instead of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s Mohegan Sun Arena, but really, he calls the same game. The hits, the passes, the saves are all part of the same game. It’s just different colored shirts doing those things to cause enthusiasm in Stuccio’s voice now. And he hasn’t heard one word of criticism calling him out as being anti-Bears since he began calling Hershey’s regular season games a couple weeks ago. "It’s been really, really good," Stuccio said. "The people here, from the fans to the front office just like in Wilkes-Barre - made it so easy. (There’s) nothing that I don’t like." He isn’t naive enough to believe their aren’t Bears fans still listening to him cautiously, listening for at least a little animosity toward the Bears from this Wilkes-Barre-bred broadcaster. "That’s the number one question I’ve been asked," Stuccio said. "If there are people saying that, they are probably hiding

McGloin responds to getting first start By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

EVANSTON, Ill. – Throwing aside everything they had said earlier in the week, Penn State coaches called an audible on Saturday and gave Matt McGloin his first start of the season against Northwestern. The junior from Scranton had outplayed counterpart Rob Bolden throughout the first seven games but it was Bolden who had started every contest at quarterback. For weeks, coach Joe Paterno had shot down questions about switching the order of the rotation, including as recently as Tuesday. “Since we have had Bolden starting with McGloin coming in, we’ve been able to do a decent job,” Paterno said. “I just have been reluctant to change that. You change it, you don’t know what you’re gonna get. “McGloin does a good job

Still feeling sore: For the second straight week, Paterno spent the game in the coaches booth. Paterno has not been on the sideline since aggravating an injury to his right hip and leg in the first half against Iowa two weeks ago. Texas connection : It’s strange enough that Penn State and Northwestern each have a player from the same Texas high school on their respective rosters. Even stranger is the fact that when one walks onto the field, it prompts the other to follow. When Penn State called on

Anthony Fera for a kickoff or a punt on Saturday, Northwestern’s Venric Mark came out as the Wildcats’ top return man. Fera and Mark both played at St. Pius X High School in Houston, with Fera one year ahead. And the two top prospects weren’t just teammates – they were close friends. “I never thought about that (happening),” Fera said of one day playing against Mark. “Venric is one of my best friends from back home. We were really good teammates. We always stayed after practice together and I would always punt and kick off to him. We would get extra work in and I would give him a ride home. “It should be fun kicking to him again.” Mark got in one return against Fera last season as a true freshman, taking a kickoff 26 yards on his only touch of the game.

Tried to direct some things. … I’ve enjoyed it. This has been a fun team to be around.” The 84-year-old coach got the best spark of the season from his offense in the opening 30 minutes and an inspired effort from his defense in the final 30. Led by Matt McGloin (17of-26, 192 yards, 2 TDs) in his first start of the season, Penn State (7-1, 4-0) scored on all five drives in the first half to earn an exhausting 27-24 lead at the break. Though “No, I McGloin took don’t know every snap for the Lions, Pawho the terno and quarterquarterbacks back (will coach Jay Paterno insisted be). after the game There’ll be that the quarterback comdays where petition was Bolden will not over. “No, I don’t play.” know who the Joe Paterno quarterback (will be),” Joe Paterno said. “There’ll be days where Bolden will play.” Both coaches and McGloin himself said that before last week’s game against Purdue, the decision was made to start Rob Bolden against the Boilermakers and McGloin against the Wildcats. It was the flow of the game “The game was so back-andforth, I wasn’t quite sure where to put (Bolden) in,” Joe Paterno said. Jay Paterno said it was his father’s call to keep McGloin in for the entire game, leaving Bolden on the sideline. But Jay also said the competition would resume Monday. “I’ve been battling since I’ve got here, so I’m really not surprised he said that,” McGloin said. “There’s really nothing I can do about that.” The defense took over after halftime, shutting out the Wildcats in the final two quarters while setting up the offense’s only score after the half. Defensive tackle Jordan Hill got a hand on a Dan Persa pass in Penn State territory and Gerald Hodges (career-high 14 tackles)

ran under it for a interception, returning it 63 yards to the Wildcats 19. “I thought that was really the turning point of the game for us,” defensive coordinator Tom Bradley said. Silas Redd (career-best 164 yards) scored on the next play to put Penn State up 34-24. Penn State’s first punt of the game came with 6:30 left in the quarter. The Lions had scored on their first six drives before punting twice to close out the third. The teams combined for just 574 yards, one punt and nine total scoring drives in the first half as the Lions once again burned Northwestern with a last-second touchdown before halftime. McGloin led the Lions to points on the first six drives of the night for the Lions -- four touchdowns and two An-

thony Fera field goals. Northwestern had gone up 24-20 with 47 seconds left before halftime on a field goal, but it was just enough time for the Lions offense. Redd ripped off a 41-yard run and McGloin hit Devon Smith down to the 1-yard line. A spike allowed Stephfon Green to score his first touchdown since last year’s season opener and put Penn State in front at the break. McGloin opened the game by firing touchdown passes of 4 and 45 yards to Justin Brown and Smith, respectively. Northwestern counterpart Persa scored on a sneak from inside the 1-yard line and found fellow quarterback Kain Colter for an 11-yard score late in the first quarter. Colter added a 4-yard touchdown run for Northwestern Penn State coach Joe Paterno walks off the field after warmups (2-5, 0-4) in the second. before Saturday’s game against Northwestern.

USC rides 80-yard fumble return to victory over Irish By RICK GANO AP Sports Writer

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Jawanza Starling returned a fumbled snap 80 yards for a third-quarter touchdown and Matt Barkley passed for three scores Saturday night as Southern California beat Notre Dame 31-17 to end the Irish’s four-game winning streak. The Trojans (6-1) jumped out to a17-0 lead in the first half and then fought off a comeback by the Irish (4-3) in the first night game at Notre Dame Stadium in 21 years. USC, which has now won nine

NU -- Dan Persa 1-yard run (Jeff Budzien kick), 12:17. Drive: 7 plays, 34 yards, 2:34. Comment: Penn State takes the opening kickoff and Matt McGloin is fired up on the sideline to make his first start since Jan. 1. Northwestern has other ideas as Mike Jensen manages to knock the ball free from Chaz Powell on the opening return and the Wildcats recover at the Penn State 34-yard line. The Nittany Lions hold tight at the goal line, stopping Northwestern twice inside the 1. But ‘Cats coach Pat Fitzgerald has no intention of kicking and Persa gets the sneak call on fourth down to pick up his first rushing touchdown of the season. NORTHWESTERN 7, PENN STATE 0. PSU -- Justin Brown 4-yard pass from Matt McGloin (Anthony Fera kick), 8:44. Drive: 10 plays, 44 yards, 3:33. Comment: And McGloin answers right back for the Nittany Lions. Powell atones for his turnover by taking the next kickoff 54 yards into Northwestern territory. And the Lions pick up a fourth-and-inches in the exact same manner as McGloin pushes forward to the ‘Cats 6. On third-and-goal a well-executed clear-out play for Brown gives him his first TD of the season. NU 7, PSU 7. PSU -- Devon Smith 45 yards from McGloin (Fera kick), 5:51. Drive: 1 play, 45 yards, 0:06. Comment: Jack Crawford gets back-toback sacks on Persa to force a punt from deep in NU territory that is nearly blocked by freshman Adrian Amos. Penn State takes over at the ‘Cats 45 and McGloin immediately goes up top on play-action. Devon Smith burns corner Demetrius Dugar and hauls in the bomb for the score. PSU 14, NU 7. NU -- Kain Colter 11-yard pass from Persa (Budzien kick), 1:54. Drive: 10 plays. 87 yards, 3:57. Comment: Persa looks much better moving around on this drive and creates space for his receivers while on the run. A few completions allow the Wildcats to kick their nohuddle look into gear, leaving Penn State players panting. Twice Persa runs right up to the line of scrimmage before pulling up and hitting an open man as defenders begin to move up to defend a scramble. The second time goes for a score to fellow QB Kain Colter, who makes his first career TD catch. PSU 14, NU 14.

of the last 10 meetings in the long rivalry, had a 443-267 advantage in total yards. Starling picked up the loose ball after Notre Dame backup quarterback Dayne Crist — who entered the game when starter Tommy Rees was momentarily shaken up — couldn’t get the handle on a snap at the USC 1 with Notre Dame behind by a touchdown. Crist, who lost the starter’s job after the first half of the season opener, replaced Rees and completed 4 of 5 passes to help the Irish reach the 1. But when he

couldn’t control the snap, the ball got loose and Starling picked it up and ran in for the long TD. Instead of a potentially tied game, USC went up 24-10 late in the third. Rees returned to the game on the next series and immediately ledtheIrishtoascore,thatcoming on Jonas Gray’s 25-yard TD run, cutting the lead to a touchdown early in the fourth. After USC’s Andre Heidari missed a 32-yard field goal with 9:13 to go, the Trojans’ Chris Galippo came up with the second of three second-half turnovers by the Irish.

He recovered what was ruled a fumbled lateral when Rees threw a pass behind the line to Cierre Wood, who didn’t catch the ball. The play was upheld by video replay, giving the Trojans a first down at the 18 with 8:46 to go. Marc Tyler was open in the end zone but his foot hit the sideline as he caught a pass from Barkley. But two plays later, Barkley made a great pump fake and hit Robert Woods with a14-yard TD pass for a 31-17 lead. That play was also upheld by video replay. Any hope of an Irish comeback

evaporated when Rees was intercepted by Nickell Robey on the next series. Barkley completed 24 of 35 passes for 224 yards and Curtis McNeal finished as the Trojans’ leading rusher with 118 yards on 24 carries. USC had 219 yards total rushing on 44 carries. Woods, meanwhile, made 12 catches for 119 yards and two TDs. USC’s defense held Notre Dame star Michael Floyd to just four catches for 28 yards and limited the Irish to 41 yards rushing on 14 carries.

PSU -- Fera 37-yard field goal, 12:26. Drive: 9 plays, 56 yards, 4:38. Comment: Still no Bolden, and McGloin leads the Lions on their third straight scoring drive. Silas Redd gets things going with a 25-yard burst down the right sideline thanks to a big block by Michael Zordich. But a third-down dump-off to Redd isn’t enough for the first and Fera comes on for the kick, improving to 10-of-11 on the year. PSU 17, NU 14. NU -- Colter 4-yard rush (Budzien kick), 8:43. Drive: 7 plays, 75 yards, 3:43. Comments: Northwestern effectively weaving Persa and Colter in and out of the lineup. Colter, the healthier and faster of the two quarterbacks, takes a keeper up the middle and flies past the second level of the defense for 46 yards down to the Penn State 7. Colter gets to finish it off himself, following blocks on the right side for the score. NU 21, PSU 17. PSU -- Fera 33-yard field goal, 4:01. Drive: 12 plays, 75 yards, 4:42. Comment: Four drives, four scores for the Lions offense under McGloin, but this field goal march could haunt the Lions. In two very rare happenings, Stephfon Green touches the ball on a successful screen pass. The key block, however, is called a hold on Matt Stankiewitch that wipes out a 15-yard TD. It’s another Fera kick instead. NU 21, PSU 20. NU -- Budzien 25-yard field goal, 0:47. Drive: 9 plays, 72 yards, 3:14. Comment: D’Anton Lynn gets beat deep on third-and-14 by top receiver Jeremy Ebert for 54 yards. Poised for yet another touchdown, it’s Nick Sukay who comes up big with a break-up in the end zone on third down to force a field goal. NU 24, PSU 20. PSU -- Stephfon Green 1-yard run (Fera kick), 0:07. Drive: 7 plays, 63 yards, 0:40. Comment: More chaos. Northwestern can stop nothing as Silas Redd tears off a 41-yard run with time running down. McGloin connects with Smith down to the 1 and is able to spike it to get another play. Green gets back his wiped-out TD and Penn State has the lead at the end of an exhausting half. PSU 27, NU 24.

THIRD QUARTER

PSU -- Silas Redd 19-yard touchdown (Fera kick), Drive: 1 play, 19 yards, 0:05. Comment: Now it’s the defense’s turn to make a play. Jordan Hill tips a Persa pass at the line and Gerald Hodges runs under it and takes it 63 yards down the right sideline. Redd gets the call and scores immediately. PSU 34, NU 24.

Spartans stun Badgers on Hail Mary The Associated Press

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Keith Nichol caught a 44-yard Hail Mary on the game’s final play for a tiebreaking touchdown, giving No. 15 Michigan State a stunning 37-31 win over No. 4 Wisconsin on Saturday night. With the game tied and 4 seconds left, Kirk Cousins rolled out to his right and threw one last pass. The ball went into the end zone but caromed off a Michigan State receiver back to Nichol, who caught it just outside the end zone and struggled for the goal line, fighting two Wisconsin defenders. The former backup quarterback was initially ruled short of the end zone, but officials overturned the call after a review, giving the Spartans (6-1, 3-0 Big Ten) the win and knocking the Badgers (6-1, 2-1) from the ranks of the unbeaten.

Russell Wilson had led the Badgers from 14 points down in the fourth quarter to tie the game with 1:26 left on a to 2-yard touchdown pass to Montee Ball. Purdue 21, No. 23 Illinois 14 WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Caleb TerBush passed for 178 yards and two touchdowns to help Purdue upset No. 23 Illinois 21-14 on Saturday afternoon. Raheem Mostert ran for a touchdown and tackled the punter on a play that led to another score for the Boilermakers (4-3, 2-1 Big Ten). It was Purdue’s first victory over a ranked team since beating No. 7 Ohio State in 2009. Illinois (6-2, 2-2) lost its second straight. The Fighting Illini scored on a 16-yard run by Jason Ford with 8:12 remaining, and a 2-yard run by quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase to cut Purdue’s lead to 21-14 with 54 seconds to play.

ESU coach Douds sets D-II record

From staff and wire reports

EAST STROUDSBURG – East Stroudsburg head coach Denny Douds set the Division II record coaching in his 394th game on Saturday, but the Warriors dropped a 31-27 decision to Millersville at Elier-Martin Stadium. Douds, in his 38th season, passed Jim Malosky of Minnesota-Duluth to set the record. The longtime coach was recognized in a ceremony following the game and was introduced by offensive coordinator Mike Terwilliger, who was East Stroudsburg’s starting quarterback for Douds’ first four seasons as head coach. Bloomsburg 55, West Chester 42 WEST CHESTER – The secondranked Huskies used the biggest rally in NCAA Division II history to beat West Chester on Saturday rallying from a 35-point deficit. The Huskies (8-0, 5-0 PSAC East) trailed 35-0 with 10:29 to go in the second quarter, but then scored the next 55 points. The rally from 35 points down is the biggest rally in Division II history topping the 29-point deficit Chadron State had over Abilene Christian in 2007 and equals the biggest in all of NCAA college football when Michigan State rallied to beat Northwestern. Statistically, Bloomsburg finished with 514 yards of total offense. Franklyn Quiteh had his best rushing day of the season carrying 25 times for 190 yards and two scores. He also caught two passes for 47 yards. Bowling Green 13, Temple 10 BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Matt Schilz threw a 24-yard pass to Shaun Joplin with 7:41 left for Bowling Green’s only touchdown, which was enough. Both the game’s touchdowns came in the final quarter as Bernard Pierce’s 2-yard scoring run put Temple up for the first time, 10-6, with 11:02 to play. Less than four minutes later Schilz threw for 55 yards on a 56-yard Bowling Green drive, including the game-winning TD. Penn 37, Yale 25 PHILADELPHIA — Billy Ragone threw for three touchdowns and ran for one and Pennsylvania scored 27 points in the fourth quarter. The Quakers (4-2, 3-0 Ivy League) trailed 20-10 before outscoring the Bulldogs 27-5. Old Dominion 37, Villanova 14 VILLANOVA — Taylor Heinicke threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another in a 30-point first half as Old Dominion routed Villanova. After the Monarchs (6-2, 3-2 Colonial Athletic Association) recovered a Wildcats fumble, on the next play Heinicke threw a 42-yard TD to Antonio Vaughan with 10:47 to go in the first quarter.

No. 1 LSU wins in rout, awaits ’Bama The Associated Press

LSU’s last statement before its biggest game of the season was a doozy. The top-ranked Tigers, playing without three key suspended players, pummeled Auburn 45-10 and now can start looking toward their matchup with No. 2 Alabama on Nov. 5. The Tide played Tennessee at home later Saturday, and with a win, could set up a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup in Tuscaloosa, Ala. No. 19 Auburn stayed close for about a quarter and a half. LSU led 7-3 before Reuben Randle caught two long touchdown passes in the final five minutes of the first half. The Tigers scored three touchdowns in about 2 1-2 minutes in the third and the game was a rout. LSU was without star cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, leading rusher Spencer Ware and defensive back Tharold Simon — all suspended one game for violating the team’s drug policy. Still, the Tigers rolled to their eighth double-digit win of the season.

Lafayette 45, Fordham 24 EASTON — Vaughn Hebron scored two rushing touchdowns and Andrew Shoop passed for one and ran for another, leading Lafayette to the win.

No. 2 Alabama 37, Tennessee 6 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — AJ McCarron passed for 284 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score to lead Alabama to a second-half surge. The Crimson Tide (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) scored on its first five possessions after halftime to turn a tie game with the rival Volunteers (3-4, 0-4) into a blowout. That set up a two-week bonanza of hype ahead of Alabama’s showdown with No. 1 LSU, which routed Auburn 45-19 in a game that ended shortly before this one kicked off.

Holy Cross 16, Bucknell 13 LEWISBURG — Ryan Taggert threw two touchdowns as Holy Cross edged Bucknell.

No. 5 Boise State 33, Air Force 26 BOISE, Idaho — Kellen Moore threw three touchdowns, Doug Martin scored twice and the defense and

special teams did just enough to help Boise State hold off Air Force. Moore was precise as usual, going 23 of 29 for 281 yards. His three TDs give him 123 in his career, making him fourth best all-time. The victory gave him 45 career wins, putting him in a tie with Colt McCoy for most wins for college quarterbacks. No. 6 Oklahoma State 45, Missouri 24 COLUMBIA, Mo. — Joseph Randle scored four touchdowns, two on runs that capitalized on big defensive plays by Shaun Lewis, and Oklahoma State ended Missouri’s 10-game home winning streak. Randle had 138 yards on 14 carries and scored on runs of 16, 59 and 12 yards. He also caught a 13-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. No. 7 Stanford 65, No. 22 Washington 21 STANFORD, Calif. — Stepfan Taylor, Tyler Gaffney and Anthony Wilkerson powered seventh-ranked Stanford to a school-record 446 yards rushing to blow past No. 22 Washington 65-21 on Saturday night. The running backs gave Heisman Trophy hopeful Andrew Luck some rest as the Cardinal (7-0, 5-0 Pac-12) extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 15 games. No. 8 Clemson 59, North Carolina 38 CLEMSON, S.C. — Tajh Boyd tied a school record with five touchdown passes, defensive end Kourtnei Brown scored on interception and fumble returns and Clemson improved to 8-0 for the first time in 11 years. The Tigers (5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) again put on an offensive display with 450 yards as Boyd

matched Cullen Harper’s 2007 mark on the day the school celebrated the 30th anniversary of its 1981 national champions. No. 9 Oregon 45, Colorado 2 BOULDER, Colo. — Playing without Darron Thomas and LaMichael James, Oregon bulldozed injury-riddled Colorado. The Ducks lost none of their quickstrike scoring ability without their injured quarterback and running back. Thomas was out with a knee injury and James missed his second straight game while recovering from a dislocated elbow. No. 10 Arkansas 29, Mississippi 24 OXFORD, Miss. — Tyler Wilson threw for 232 yards and rushed for two touchdowns, and Arkansas rallied from an early 17-point deficit. Arkansas (6-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) continues its best start under fourth-year coach Bobby Petrino, staying in the mix in the loaded Western Division that includes LSU and Alabama. No. 12 Kansas State 59, Kansas 21 MANHATTAN, Kan. — Collin Klein threw for a career-high 195 yards and accounted for five touchdowns, freshman Tyler Lockett returned a kickoff for a score and caught a touchdown pass, and Kansas State tuned up for a big showdown next week with Oklahoma. The Wildcats (7-0, 4-0) are riding their best start since 1999, when they won their first nine games.

quarter and Logan Thomas threw for a touchdown and ran for another as the Hokies won their third straight. No. 17 Texas A&M 33, Iowa State 17 AMES, Iowa — Ryan Tannehill threw for 263 yards and two touchdowns and Texas A&M held off Iowa State for its third straight Big 12 win. Christine Michael and Cyrus Gray each rushed for more than 100 yards for the Aggies (5-2, 3-1 Big 12), who used Tannehill’s scoring passes late in the first half to jump ahead 20-7. Miami 24, No. 20 Georgia Tech 7 MIAMI — JoJo Nicholas recovered a fumbled punt for a touchdown plus added an interception, Lamar Miller ran for 93 yards and a score and Miami’s banged-up defense was dominant. No. 21 Houston 63, Marshall 28 HOUSTON — Case Keenum became the Football Bowl Subdivision’s career leader in total offense on Saturday, throwing for 376 yards and tying his career high with six touchdown passes in No. 21 Houston’s 63-28 win over Marshall. Florida State 41, Maryland 16 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — EJ Manuel passed for 264 yards and a touchdown, and freshman Devonta Freeman ran for 100 yards a second straight week as Florida State routed Maryland 41-16 on Saturday.

DALLAS – Everything fell into place this weekend for Dallas, culminating with an impressive victory on Saturday afternoon. The Mountaineers dominated Pocono Mountain East – an opponent that had given them trouble over the past three years – for a 43-13 victory and more importantly a spot atop the District 2 Class 3A standings. Dallas (7-1) gained 160 state points with a win over the Class 4A Cardinals (4-4), vaulting ahead of Valley View (7-1) in the D2-3A standings. Valley View was upset by Scranton Prep 7-6 Friday night. Crestwood (6-2), which was right behind Dallas entering the week, also lost Friday.

ed for a week by the school for getting two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in consecutive games. “I simply do not agree with what has happened,” Jackson said, “but everybody has a boss and bosses make decisions. We all got to live with it.” Jackson joked he ran out of plays at halftime, but it didn’t seem to matter. East, missing its starting quarterback for yet another game, could get little done offensively. The Cardinals had 34 yards and one first down after two quarters. And Dallas had a 22-0 lead on a short TD run by Jim Roccograndi and touchdown receptions by Shane Dunn and Jason Simonovich. Left guard Zach Taylor was the unsung hero on two of those scoring drives as he recovered

the third gave Dallas a 36-0 lead and brought on the mercy rule. The score was also quarterback Ryan Zapoticky’s third TD pass of the game, increasing his season total to a Wyoming Valley Conference-high 17 touchdown throws. East scored its first touchdown on the ensuing kickoff when Kyle Harris scooped up the bouncing ball and returned it 65 yards to the end zone. “Everything that could have helped us helped us yesterday,” Jackson said. “It puts us back to where we want to be and that’s get the rest of the table and a home game in the playoffs. That’s what we’re hoping. Try to get a home game in the playoffs, maybe two home games in the playoffs. “We just have to go into the next two weeks one game at a

Hawkeyes ride Bennett to victory over Royals By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader

WILKES-BARRE – When Hanover Area quarterback Joe Ksiazkiewicz left the game with an injury, the Hawkeyes rested on their bread and butter – the rushing game of Parrish Bennett – to ride out the second half. Listed at just 5-foot-7 and 140 pounds, the diminutive running back carried the Hanover Area offense on his back Saturday, guiding the Hawkeyes to a 34-12 victory over Holy Redeemer at WilkesBarre Memorial Stadium. Bennett scored four touchdowns – two rushing and two receiving – and carried the ball 30 times for 230 yards. “Once Joe (Ksiazkiewicz) went down, he had to take the load of the offense,” said Hanover Area coach Ron Hummer. “It wasn’t pretty but we got the yards we needed.” The Hawkeyes jumped out to a

commanding 21-0 lead in the first quarter. Bennett broke through on an 84-yard rushing touchdown. Less than four minutes later, he eluded six Royal defenders on a 55-yard receiving score. Hanover Area was able to shut the door on a sometimes explosive Holy Redeemer offense. It held David Gawlas to 86 yards on 17 carries and caused two interceptions that led to Hawkeye points. “We knew they can pass and run the ball pretty well,” said Hummer. “The key was keeping Gawlas contained and making them throw the ball more often. I think we succeeded in that.” Holy Redeemer wide receiver Tom Cosgrove caught seven passes for 133 yards. Cosgrove caught a 9-yard pass from Gawlas in the third quarter on a fourthand-goal situation. “He’s been an outstanding player,” said Holy Redeemer coach Joe Ostrowski. “He does

The 43-year-old from Kensington, Md., outran second-place finisher, George Watson, 25, of Dickson City, by 1:01. King’s senior Robert Santopietro, 21, of Creamridge, N.J., finished third, 22 seconds behind Watson. “I caught and passed the leader (Watson) just after the first mile,” said Powers. “I’m not a surge kind of a guy. So I basically just tried to keep up a nice pace the rest of the way.” After relinquishing the lead, Watson tried catching Powers. “I tried to get a rope on him,” said Watson. “But I couldn’t lasso him. Once he took the lead, he just kept increasing the distance between us.” Matthews Lada won top female honors, finishing sixthoverall in 21:24. The 31-year-old from Wilkes-Barre outdistanced the second-place female (7thplace overall), Erin Moreck, 30, of Forty Fort, by seven seconds. Emily Demko, a 13-year-old from Huntington Mills, finished third among the females in 23:55. “(Moreck) stayed with me the entire way,” said Matthews Lada, who ran cross country for Hanover Area High School and played the outfield in Women’s softball for Iona College. “(Moreck) pulled ahead of me on the dike over the last mile. But I caught and passed her on the downhill (coming off the dike) with about 200 meters to go. After taking the lead, I tried to open up my stride and stay strong to the finish, because I knew she was right behind me.” The King’s 5K is sponsored by the college’s International Business & Economics Club and by the King’s College Campus Ministry. A portion of the proceeds from the race will be sent to Holy Cross Social Centers throughout the world. Some of the proceeds will be used to help set up scholarships for Business

Vonn wins race in all 5 disciplines The Associated Press

SOELDEN, Austria — Lindsey Vonn used a blistering finish to win the season-opening World Cup giant slalom Saturday and become the fifth female skier to win a race in all five Alpine disciplines. The three-time overall champion was fourth after the opening run before an impressive finish to win in a combined time of 2 minutes, 24.43 seconds. Vonn is the second American skier to complete the discipline sweep after Bode Miller. “I can’t believe this. This is a big dream coming true,” Vonn said. “A win in GS has always

been so far out of reach for me. I knew that maybe one day I could win. But I definitely did not plan to do it here.” Vonn edged Olympic champion Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany by 0.04 seconds, while Elisabeth Goergl of Austria was 0.40 behind in third. The discipline sweep has been achieved by Austria’s Petra Kronberger, Sweden’s Pernilla Wiberg, Croatia’s Janica Kostelic and Sweden’s Anja Paerson. “I came into this race with not much confidence,” said Vonn, who skipped most training sessions this week after hurting her hip in a crash during practice.

Interceptions returned for touchdowns doom Monarchs against DelVal The Times Leader staff

DOYLESTOWN – Three firsthalf interceptions doomed King’s on Saturday against three-time defending MAC champion, nationally-ranked Delaware Valley. Monarchs quarterback Joe Kirchon was picked off three times in the first 30 minutes with two being returned for touchdowns as the Aggies opened a 36-point lead at the break en route to a 5413 win over King’s.

and ran 48 yards for a score in the first quarter to give his team a 20-0 lead with 2:10 left. He also got the third one, which came late in the second quarter and took it 13 yards for the touchdown to put DelVal (ranked 13th in the d3football.com poll and ninth in the AFCA Coaches poll) ahead 41-7 at the break.

Quinones’ 2 tallies leads King’s hockey

Continued from Page 1C

Ian Kinsler hit an inning-ending popup. Pujols followed in the sixth with a no-doubt, 423-foot drive off Alexi Ogando that clanked off the facing above the restaurant windows in left field, and Yadier Molina added a sacrifice fly. Texas made three errors that led to three unearned runs Allen Craig, who had run-scoring pinch singles in the first two games, homered on Matt Harrison’s seventh pitch. Pujols singled leading off the fourth and Matt Holliday hit a hard grounder to Elvis Andrus for what should have been a basesclearing double play. The shortstop tossed to second, but Kinsler’s throw was off line and pulled Napoli off first base. Playing first base for the first time in the Series, Napoli caught the throw and his glove came down hard on Holliday’s left shoulder, with the runner a step short of the bag, But Kulpa, called him safe, despite an argument from Rangers manager Ron Washington. Lance Berkman singled, and David Freese’s double down the right-field line gave the Cardinals a 2-0 lead. Molina was intentionally walked and Jon Jay hit a bouncer to Napoli, who had plenty of time to throw home for a forceout. But his throw went over the left-handed batter’s box and past lunging catcher Yorvit Torrealba as two runs scored. Ryan Theriot singled for a 5-0 lead, and Harrison threw home on Rafael Furcal’s comebacker, with Torrealba blocking the plate and tagging Jay to prevent another run. Michael Young homered off Kyle Lohse leading off the bottom half and Nelson Cruz’s two-run drive just over the right-field wall gave him home runs in four straight postseason home games. Molina made a nice defensive play to preserve the two-run lead

DALLAS – Jenera Quinones scored a pair of goals to lead King’s to a 2-0 victory over Misericordia on Saturday in Freedom Conference field hockey action at Mangelsdorf Field.

after Kinsler flied to left, snagging Holliday’s one-hop throw slightly to the first-base side of the plate and sweeping his glove back to tag out Napoli. Neither starter got out of the fourth. Lohse, 0-4 with a 5.54 ERA in nine postseason appearances, allowed hits to his first four batters in the fourth and was removed. He gave up three runs and five hits. Harrison gave up five runs — three earned — and six

hits in 3 2-3 innings. But Scott Feldman put the Rangers in a deeper hole in the fifth, giving up Freese’s RBI grounder and Molina’s two-run double. Young’s RBI double off Fernando Salas in the bottom half, Adrian Beltre’s run-scoring single against Lance Lynn and Napoli’s sacrifice fly cut it to 8-6. Most fans were standing in anticipation when Kinsler popped out, drop-

ping the Rangers to 4 for 15 with runners in scoring position in the Series. Josh Hamilton, the reigning AL MVP, went 1 for 4 and dropped to 1 for 11 in the Series, although he stopped an 0-for-18 Series skid dating to last year with a fifth-inning single. Hamilton, who said before the game his groin injury may be a sports hernia, is homerless in 53 at-bats during this year’s postseason.

GAR Continued from Page 1C

“We had two pretty dependable guys carrying the ball, fighting for the extra yards,” Wyoming Area coach Randy Spencer said. “(Jeff) Skursky and (Corey) Popovich just fighting hard for yards and the ball comes out. At the same time, GAR had turnover opportunities. They had a fumble on an option pitch and that one bounces right back in (Dwayne) Wright’s hands.” Leading 23-22, Wyoming Area fumbled on its fourth play from scrimmage in the third quarter. Wright recovered the ball at the GAR 49-yard line. Six plays later, Crawford ran in from 17 yards out as the Grenadiers took the lead for good, 30-23. Wyoming Area then used the power running of Popovich and Skursky and quarterback Nick O’Brien to move to the GAR 7. But on second down, the Warriors fumbled again and GAR defensive lineman Christian Skrepenak landed on the ball. “It was absolutely huge,” GAR coach Paul Wiedlich Jr. said. “The Dwayne Wright kid caused the fumble and recovered the fumble. The other turnover, I don’t know who the hell got that one, but they were huge. “Our defense rose to the occasion. They had their backs to the wall and somebody made a big play.” GAR had Wright and fellow running back Lucas Benton do the bulk of the work on the ensuing drive until Crawford scored on a 25-yard run for a 37-23 lead with 9:43 left in the fourth quarter.

mates kept finding different ways to find the back to the net. Brian Gibbons converted a quick power play opportunity and the Penguins had a 1-0 lead just 3:36 into the game. In the second period, a smiling Simon Despres rejoiced over his first goal of the season, a slapshot from between the circles that beat Hershey goalie Braden Holtby for a 2-0 Penguins lead. And Lerg extended that to 3-0

GAR’s Lucas Benton, right, breaks to the outside as Wyoming Area’s Cody Schmitz prepares to make the tackle in WVC football action at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium on Saturday night.

The Warriors rallied to pull within 37-30 with 6:45 to play on O’Brien’s 17-yard run. But with no timeouts remaining, GAR was able to run the clock down to 1:34 before giving possession back to Wyoming Area at the Warriors’ 36-yard line. After a pass for minus-2 yards, GAR defensive end Shakir Soto broke in for a 13-yard sack. Benton blitzed in from the left side on third down, hitting O’Brien as he released the ball. The pass sailed downfield and into the hands of Crawford. The battle of two of the WVC’s most athletic quarterbacks took a back seat at times. “We told our kids the main thing is we don’t care about

stats,” Wiedlich said. “The most important thing is the stat on the scoreboard at the end of the game.” Wyoming Area tried to exploit the gut of GAR’s defense, like Lake-Lehman did a week earlier, by running Skursky and Popovich between the tackles. Skursky finished with 15 carries for 90 yards, while Popovich had a season-high 58 yards on seven rushes. GAR used the speedy duo of Benton and Wright, who combined for 143 yards on 19 carries.

by banking a beautiful pass in front of the net from Picard and depositing it into the side pocket. It was the sixth goal of the season for Lerg, who’s averaging nearly a goal a game. The Penguins forward also picked up his sixth assist of the season, feeding Despres the first score of the second period. That gave the Penguins a margin of comfort, which Thiessen made sure stood up. He was just over three minutes away from recording his second shutout of the young season when Kane lifted a shot with his classic spin move, giving the

Bears their first score of the night. Thiessen made sure it was the only one, though. He stopped 27 shots in all, while improving his personal record to 3-2 on the season. "I think, more importantly, we needed the practice time," Penguins coach John Hynes said of the work his team did before taking to the road Friday. "We got some things straightened out."

ICE DANCING

American duo wins at Skate America The Associated Press

ONTARIO, Calif. — Meryl Davis and Charlie White picked up where they left off last season — atop the medals podium. The Americans skated an elegant routine to win the ice dancing title at Skate America on Saturday, following up the world championship they claimed in April. Davis in a sparkling purple dress and White in black tails floated over the ice to classical music and were rewarded with a standing ovation from the sparse crowd at the first Grand Prix meet of the season. “We definitely felt the crowd behind us and that definitely makes a difference, especially when it’s

your first time out there and you might be a little nervous,” White said. The Americans totaled 178.07 points to win for the second consecutive year, beating Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat by 21.78. The French couple — he dressed as a pharaoh and she as a mummy in bandages — had 156.29. American Isabella Tobias, a former New York City Ballet dancer, and Deividas Stagniunas of Lithuania took the bronze at 132.58. They got into the event when another couple dropped out. In the men’s competition, Michal Brezina of the Czech Republic hung on to win despite a slew of mistakes in his free program. His old one won’t be hearing "Minny on the money" anymore, a phrase Stuccio used to shout when ex-Penguin Chris Minard scored a goal. Instead, Stuccio will be coining new terms now, maybe starting with Hershey’s high-scoring center Keith Aucoin. It has seemed simple and natural for Stuccio to move into a new building and a new job. The hard part is leaving home behind.

STEELERS VS. CARDINALS

Super Bowl rematch not a factor Teams met in 2009 title game, but times and teams have changed since then. NEXT GAME

By BOB BAUM AP Sports Writer

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says the game seems “eons” ago. Pittsburgh beat Arizona 27-23 in one of the most thrilling Super Bowls of all time. The teams meet Sunday for the first time since that matchup, a nice story line but insignificant as far as those involved are concerned. “You move on,” Tomlin said. “I think everybody needs to have that approach, whether you’re talking about football or life in general. I think the greater thing is the challenges that lie ahead.” The Steelers (4-2) have been shaky on the road, going 1-2 with the only victory a 23-20 squeaker at winless Indianapolis. The Cardinals (1-4) need to beat somebody — period. An Arizona loss on Sunday would be its fifth straight and would leave the team1-5 heading into a game at Baltimore, the first in a stretch of four of five on the road. The Cardinals have lost 10 straight road games going back to last season’s opener. Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt agrees that the 2009 Super Bowl seems a long time ago, but the fact that the Cardinals made it — and went back to the playoffs the following season — is reason for hope through these difficult days. “It was a good run for us,” he said. “I think that’s what makes us so confident that what we are doing is the right thing, as far as how we prepare and how we work and that if we stay the course, we’ll come out of this thing. This is a good football team.” Whisenhunt once thought he had brought the team out of its long history of losing for good,

but the Cardinals are 6-15 since Kurt Warner retired and the transfer of controls to Kevin Kolb this year has not been as smooth as hoped. In the past three games, Kolb has thrown one touchdown pass and been intercepted five times. “I think it’s just a matter of you work every day to get comfort-

able with the system, get comfortable with the guys around you,” offensive coordinator Larry Miller said. “You’d like to be able to say, ‘Hey, that should have happened already,’ but sometimes things take a little more time than others.” With fans already wondering if he is worth the big money the

CHARGERS VS JETS

Cardinals spent on his long-term contract, Kolb has had an extra week to prepare for the Steelers. He reminds himself that three of Arizona’s losses came by a combined eight points. “Getting away and realizing that I am right where I need to be and I want to be and make sure that we keep realizing the oppor-

tunities, as a team and as a unit,” he said at his weekly session with reporters. “I told you all this before, we love the group here. We love the coaching staff, obviously love this city and this place, and we all want it to remain that way. The only way you do that is by winning.” Six of Arizona’s coaches, including Whisenhunt, were with the Steelers at one time or another. The most recent addition is defensive coordinator Ray Horton, Dick LeBeau’s defensive backs coach before he came to the Cardinals this season. While the Cardinals have slid back to the bottom rungs of the league, the Steelers have remained, well, the Steelers. The reigning AFC champions have a winning record despite a multitude of injuries, particularly on the offensive line. They could get one of those players, left guard Chris Kemoeatu, back today. He has missed three games overall and the past two with a knee injury. Despite their record, the Steelers aren’t at all satisfied with their overall performance, especially on offense. “We’ve got a ways to go, which I guess is good,” quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. “I don’t think you want to be running on all cylinders right now, but we make mistakes here and there. We’ll play a couple of good quarters, maybe a half, but we just have to put the full game together.”

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — So much for a nice, quiet week leading up to the San Diego Chargers’ game against the New York Jets. Rex Ryan made sure of that. Even if he didn’t mean to. The Jets’ brash coach created a coast-to-coast stir when he said he would’ve won a few Super Bowl rings if he had been hired as the Chargers’ UP NEXT coach in 2007.

ed. But it sure added some spice to today’s game between the Chargers (4-1) and Jets (3-3) at MetLife Stadium. The normally reserved Turner even threw a jab back at Ryan, saying he meant to ask if the Jets coach had those rings with the ones he has guaranteed with the Jets the last few years. It was a zinger even Ryan could appreciate. “I mean, it was a good one,” Ryan said. “There’s no doubt.” It also might have spawned the most anticipated postgame handshake by a Jets coach since the days of Eric Mangini and his icy rivalry with New England’s Bill Belichick. “That’s just Rex being Rex,” Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson said of his coach’s comments. “We don’t care, he’s our coach. We’ve got to play the

game.” And it’s one Tomlinson has been eagerly awaiting. The sixth-leading rusher in NFL history had a record-smashing career with the Chargers from 2001-09 before he was released in February 2010 — an emotional departure that had been preceded by a few years of snippiness between Tomlinson and San Diego general manager A.J. Smith. A few weeks later, Tomlinson signed a two-year deal with the Jets, and now gets to face his former team for the first time. Not only that, Ryan announced that Tomlinson will start at running back — not Shonn Greene — for this one. “I’m super excited,” Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes said. “I hope he gets out there and rushes for over 200 yards on Sunday.”

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Aaron Rodgers is one of the older guys now. Here comes another rookie, joining the NFL quarterback club. Christian Ponder, meet the Green Bay Packers. “I think he’s going to be real excited. This is what we dream about when we’re kids,” Rodgers said. With Minnesota at 1-5, Ponder has replaced stopgap starter Donovan McNabb. The Vikings picked Ponder in the first round to be their long-term solution at the sport’s most important position. This is a monumental move for a franchise that has traditionally turned to veterans for a year or two before moving on to another one, with varying degrees of success and a few flops. But running the ball, making low-risk throws and playing steady defense is no longer the league’s standard winning formula. It’s a young man’s game, and he better be able to throw — quickly, consistently and anywhere on the field. “We’re in a generation of pretty darn good quarterback play,” Rodgers said. “You see some of these young guys coming up, they’re ready to play and step in and play well. I think you saw a

trend beginning with Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco in their year, and every year you’ve seen guys step up and play early and play well. So I think it’s great for the league.” Ryan and Flacco each made the playoffs as rookies in 2008. Now roughly one third of the NFL’s starters are their age or younger, with Ponder accompanying Cam Newton, Blaine Gabbert and Andy Dalton in this year’s class. Rodgers, in his seventh season and fourth as a starter, is suddenly one of the elders. The speed of the game is frequently what coaches and players mention as the biggest challenge for young quarterbacks, and Ponder’s poise in limited action helped solidify the decision for coach Leslie Frazier. The Vikings and their long-frustrated fans have some newfound life this week for an otherwise-lost season that includes two of the next three games against Green Bay.

FANTASY GM

Lerg’s long journey By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

When Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins coach John Hynes broke out the picket fence drill during last Monday’s practice, Bryan Lerg chuckled to himself. It had been almost 10 years since Lerg saw Hynes break out the picket fence drill – a two-on-two defensive zone exercise. That was back in 2002 when Hynes was an assistant coach with the U.S. National Under-18 Team and Lerg was a 16-year-old playing in his first season with the USA Hockey program. “We used to do that drill daily with the U.S. team,” Lerg said. “It was funny to see him break that out.” After spending two years with the U.S. program, Lerg went on to play four seasons at college before spending three years with Springfield in the AHL. After spending seven years apart, Lerg and Hynes renewed their relationship last season when the former needed a job and the latter was willing to give an opportunity. Since then, the relationship has paid off for both, as Lerg developed into one of the Penguins’ top offensive threats and a player seemingly on the verge of earning an NHL contract. It’s not a bad spot to be in, considering Lerg bolted to Europe before the start of last season after no AHL teams showed any interest. The Europe stint lasted one game, however, and Lerg came to the Penguins at the end of last season’s training camp needing a job. “It wasn’t good at all,” Lerg said. “It’s nerve-wracking. This is our job, our livelihood. It’s not a hobby.” In need of work, Lerg contacted Hynes, hoping that he made enough of an impression during those early years with the U.S. program that the Penguins coach would give him an opportunity. He did, and Lerg has never stopped taking advantage of the chance. Last season, Lerg posted a career-high 15 goals and 32 points in 65 games, after starting the year as a healthy scratch on many nights. “I had to be pretty patient last year,” Lerg said. “It wasn’t easy, but I stuck with it.” This season, Lerg is centering the Penguins’ top line and has become one of the team’s top offensive threats. After the first five games, Lerg is the team’s top scorer with four goals and six points. Looking back to last season’s training camp to the present, Hynes said Lerg is clearly on his way to becoming a success story. Last season, Lerg displayed flashes of talent, such as his skilled hands and brilliant skating. This season, Hynes said, Lerg has become a complete and consistent player. “He’s matured and learned how he needs to play to be a force,” Hynes said. “You can see now he plays with a good pace and there’s a lot of drive

GEOFF WALKER Penguins’ Winger

During his four seasons of pro hockey, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins winger Geoff Walker has established himself as a hard-working, physical power forward. It’s a style that has earned him success in the AHL, and it’s one that he molds his team around if he were a general manager. “A hard working unit that does things the right way,” Walker said of his fantasy hockey team. “Just a hardworking group with a couple of snipers, good goaltending and solid defense. Kind of like how we are.” Here’s a look at the players who would make the cut on Walker’s team: Forward: Evgeni Malkin (Pittsburgh) – “He’s the best player in the world when he’s going.” Defenseman: Andre Markov (Montreal) – “I love his power play presence. He’s a great leader and his team is totally different when he’s in the lineup.” Goaltender: Carey Price (Montreal) Power Play Specialist: Steven Stamkos (Tampa Bay) – “He’s got a great shot. Give him some time and he’s going to hurt you.” Penalty Kill Specialist: Joe Vitale (Pittsburgh) Shootout Specialist: Jussi Jokinen (Carolina) Enforcer: Arron Asham (Pittsburgh) Pest/Agitator: Steve Ott (Dallas) – “He does a great job in that role.” Head coach: Dan Bylsma (Pittsburgh) – “He and coach Hynes are really similar. He’s upbeat and fun to be around.” All-Time Great: Pavel Bure (Vancouver, Florida, N.Y. Rangers) – “His speed, his skill… when Bure was in his prime there wasn’t much better than him.” -- Tom Venesky

in his game. When Bryan has the puck, he’s moving his feet and his offensive skill comes out.” For comparison’s sake, Lerg looks back even further to his days when he played in the Edmonton Oilers organization. He spent three seasons from 2007 to 2010 with Edmonton’s AHL affiliate in Springfield and was mired on the team’s fourth line. Opportunities to play offense were limited, and so was Lerg’s ice time. To make matters worse, Lerg looks back and admits he wasn’t mentally tough back then. “I wasn’t in a good situation,” he said.

PENGUIN BITES Although coach John Hynes’ coaching style demands that his players give a complete effort on every shift of each game and in all practices, it’s impossible for him to watch all of his players all the time. Or is it? Bryan Lerg said while he and his teammates never give less than 100 percent, if they did they wouldn’t get away with it.

“If you think you can take a shift off, you’re crazy. You’ll get caught on video,” Lerg said. “(Coach Hynes) is very detailed and not many coaches break down game video like he does. You’re not going to come here and go through the motions. That’s why he gets the best of every player. That’s the good thing about him and guys like playing for him.”

Now, in his second season with the Pittsburgh organization playing for a familiar coach in Hynes, Lerg has a different outlook about hockey, his career and his future. For the first time in his career, the NHL isn’t a far-

fetched goal for Lerg. It’s close enough to motivate Lerg in each game and practice. It’s the dream that pushes all AHL players, and now it’s a realistic one for Lerg. “Everyday I come to the rink with one thing on my

mind: doing whatever I can to get better,” he said. “You do things the right way in this organization and you get rewarded. I want to get an NHL contract, and my drive is doubled now that I realize the situation I’m in.” It’s a situation made possible not only by Lerg’s determination, but the faith shown in him from a coach with a history that goes way back. “A lot of what I’ve accomplished comes from confidence, and that comes from the coach believing in you,” Lerg said. “Coach Hynes has always been driven and passionate. He’s the most intense coach I’ve played for, and he’s the best coach I’ve played for.”

Maple Leafs 5, Canadiens 4, OT MONTREAL — Mikhail Grabovski scored his second goal of the game 1:23 into overtime to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 5-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night. Grabovski drew Toronto even for the third time at 13:07 of the third. Grabovski tied it at 4 when he put away a loose puck in the Montreal crease for his third of the season. The former Canadiens center took John-Michael Liles’ pass at the side of the Montreal net and turned around to fire a shot past Carey Price for the winner. Phil Kessel got his eighth goal of the season, and David Steckel and Dion Phaneuf scored power-play goals for the Maple Leafs, who trailed 1-0,

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Justin Leonard chipped in three times in a span of five holes Saturday to salvage a scrappy day at Disney with a 2-under 70 that gave him a share of the lead with PGA Tour rookie Kevin Chappell at the Children’s Miracle Network Classic. Chappell was much more consistent in a round of 66, overcoming a bogey on the opening hole and giving himself a steady diet of10- to15-foot birdie putts throughout the day on the Magnolia Course. They were at14-under 202, one shot ahead of 21-year-old Bio Kim, who needs at least a two-way tie for second to secure his tour card for next year. The race for the PGA Tour money title had some possibilities, but only briefly. Luke Donald, who trails Webb Simpson by $363,029, was tied for fourth when he reached the par-5 14th hole. Donald was only three shots out of the lead and three shots ahead of Simpson. When he walked off the green, Donald was in a tie for14th, tied with Simpson and six shots behind.

Sprint Cup Series driver Mark Martin (5) is pictured after qualifying for the Good Sam Club 500 auto race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Ala., Saturday.

HM completes the pole sweep Martin’s pole, helps Hendrick Motorsports sweep top spot at all 4 superspeedway races.

By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

TALLADEGA, Ala. — For the first time since Dan Wheldon’s fatal accident, the focus was back on the race track. Hendrick Motorsports proved Saturday it has the best superspeedway program in NASCAR with a sweep of the front row in qualifying at Talladega Superspeedway. Mark Martin won the pole with a lap of 181.367 mph, just a tick faster than the 181.360 posted by five-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson. Hendrick Motorsports now has won the pole at all four superspeedway races this season, and swept the front row in all but one. “Our qualifying on (restrictor) plate tracks this season has just been amazing,” said Johnson. Martin began his post-qualifying news conference on a somber note, encouraging fans to visit the web site dedicated to Dan Wheldon. Today’s race at Talladega is the first major event since the two-time Indianapolis 500 winner was killed in the IndyCar season finale at Las Vegas last Sunday. The first of two memorials for Wheldon was Saturday, and the second is scheduled for today in Indianapolis about the same time the NASCAR race will end. NASCAR is honoring Wheldon with

decals on its cars that display the Lionheart Knight image that Wheldon affixed to the back of his helmets, as well as a moment of silence before the start of the race. When the green flag drops, though, the drivers will have pushed Wheldon from their minds to focus on racing on NASCAR’s fastest and biggest track. There’s a championship on the line, too, and Johnson has a huge hole to climb from if he’s have any shot at winning a sixth consecutive title. A nasty accident last Saturday at Charlotte dropped Johnson from third to eighth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings, and with five races remaining, he’s got to climb out of a 35-point deficit. But, Johnson won here in April, when teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. pushed him to the victory. As Johnson made his victory lap that afternoon, his crew chief thanked Earnhardt over the team radio. “Dale, thank you man,” Chad Knaus radioed, “next one is on us, brother.” But the stakes are too high right now for Johnson to simply agree to pay back the favor: Earnhardt is a distant ninth in the standings. “I remember Chad saying it, and believe me, the Junior Nation has not forgotten,” Johnson said. “We worked yesterday and we’ll just have to see how things unfold in the race and where we feel we’re the fastest. If we can’t win the race, we certainly want him

to.” It’s going to be wide open, though, as drivers have spent the first two days at Talladega working on their strategy and picking drafting partners. The Johnson-Earnhardt duo in April beat Richard Childress Racing teammates Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick in the push to the finish line. Bowyer, who settled for a very close second to Johnson, will start Sunday’s race third. Bowyer was followed in qualifying by Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne and Hendrick drivers Jeff Gordon and Earnhardt Jr. Paul Menard qualified seventh and was followed by David Ragan, Sprint Cup Series points leader Carl Edwards and Ryan Newman. Because of the two-car tandem style of racing that has developed this season at Daytona and Talladega, the two fastest tracks require the use of horsepower-sapping restrictor plates, its essential for everyone to find a drafting partner. Tony Stewart has worked well this season with David Gilliland, but with the championship at stake, that’s one of the alliances that’s been dissolved. Stewart, winner of the first two Chase races and only 24 points behind leader Edwards, can’t get help again from Gilliland because Gilliland is a Ford driver with an allegiance to Edwards and Matt Kenseth, who is third in the standings. “It is such a tight points battle right now and we are going to try to help the Ford guys out all we can,” Gilliland said.

HUNTING

Two from Maine plead guilty to poaching The Times Leader staff

Bradford County poachers face jail time Two Maine residents who were arrested in February for a major poaching operation in Bradford County have entered guilty pleas. Everett H. Leonard, 60, of Turner, Maine, entered a plea of guilty to five illegal deer kills and 12 other game law violations, including road hunting, loaded firearms in vehicles, killing deer at night and license violations. The first four deer kills were misdemeanors. The fifth and subsequent kills are felonies under the game laws. Leonard will be sentenced Dec. 15 at 3 p.m. Leonard faces a maximum sentence of up to seven years plus up to $43,000 in fines and costs, and loss of his Pennsylvania hunting privilege. Wildlife conservation officers

Vernon Perry III and Thomas Grohol of the Pennsylvania Game Commission arrested Leonard for the offense in February, following an investigation into illegal hunting in October and December that occurred in the Troy and Armenia Township areas. Leonard’s son, Everett Tyler Leonard, 32, also of Turner, Maine, was also charged in the incidents and entered a plea of guilty to 11 illegal deer kills and 14 other game offenses, including hunting at night, hunting from vehicles and loaded guns in vehicles. Under Pennsylvania game law, the first four kills are graded as misdemeanors and subsequent kills are felonies. The younger Leonard will be sentenced Dec. 15 at 3:30 pm, following preparation of a presentence report by the Bradford

County Probation Department. He faces a maximum sentence of up to 24 years plus fines exceeding $100,000, costs and loss of his Pennsylvania hunting license. A third poacher connected to the case, Lucien H. Clavet, 44, of Monmouth, Maine, was sentenced to 18 months probation and fines totaling $1,800 after pleading guilty to unlawful killing or taking of big game, a misdemeanor, two counts of employment of unlawful hunting devices or methods, carrying a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle and two counts of failure to tag and report a big-game kill. The case is the first major incident that falls under a new poaching law that increases fines and penalties. State Rep. Ed Staback drafted the bill that was eventually passed into law.

REPORT BANDED BIRDS

R E M I N D E R T O FA L L T U R K E Y H U N T E R S Fall turkey hunters are reminded that they still are required to display their licenses on their outer garments, said Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe. “The Game Commission is supporting legislation to remove the statutory requirement that licenses be displayed, and thereby allow hunters to place

their hunting license in their wallet with other ID,” Roe said. “However, until such time as the General Assembly removes this statutory requirement, hunters and trappers will need to continue to display their licenses.” Roe noted the license can be pinned to a hat, sleeve or outer portion of the coat.

TURKEY WMU’S

Season lengths vary in the state’s Wildlife Management Units for fall turkey hunting: WMUs 1A, 1B and 2A (Shotgun and bow and arrow only) – Oct. 29-Nov. 12, and Nov. 24-26; WMU 2B (Shotgun and bow and arrow only) – Oct. 29-Nov. 18, and Nov. 24-26 WMUs 2C, 2D, 2E, 4A, 4B and 4D – Oct. 29-Nov. 12, and Nov. 24-26; WMUs 2F, 2G, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 4C and 4E – Oct. 29-Nov. 18, and Nov. 24-26; WMU 5A – Nov. 1-3 WMUs 5B, 5C and 5D – Closed to Fall Hunting. The second year of an open season during the Thanksgiving holiday also should improve hunter opportunities. This Thanksgiving holiday season, which will be held Nov. 24-26 in most WMUs, is designed to provide additional hunting opportunities for youth and families when schools and many businesses are closed and, hopefully, to reverse the declining trend in fall turkey hunters.

aseball cards. Stamps. Junk. Bengal tigers. What do they all have in common? They’re things that people collect. And one doesn’t belong on the list? Last Wednesday, more than 50 exotic animals – including 18 Bengal tigers, were released from their cages into the Ohio countryside. In addition to the tigers, the list of animals roaming Ohio woods and fields included 17 lions, grizzly bears, leopards, monkeys and a wolf. Most were killed by law enforcement as they posed a threat to public safety. It’s an understandable, yet tragic demise for the animals that were freed from their cages for the first time in who knows how long. Still, it’s a tragedy that should’ve never happened. I don’t understand the rationale behind owning an exotic animal, such as a tiger, lion or monkey. Is it the thrill of watching a tiger aimlessly circling inside the confines of a cage? Is it a power trip? An ego boost? I have no idea why people feel compelled to own and cage such animals, but I do believe it shouldn’t be allowed. The Pennsylvania Game Commission is charged with issuing permits to those who want to possess or deal exotic animals. They have a strict checklist regarding safety of the enclosures and animal health that must be met before a permit is issued. Even before those steps, the applicant must provide a letter from their municipality stating possession of exotic wildlife isn’t a violation of zoning codes, and documented evidence of a minimum two years handling experience from a lawfully accredited facility. Still, it’s not enough, especially when all it takes is a gate left unlocked to lead to a potential disaster. Bill would cutout wildlife possession It happened in Ohio, and there have even been close calls in Pennsylvania. According to PGC spokesman Jerry Feaser, the list of exotic animals that escaped is long and varied. It includes African servals (similar to a cheetah), wallabies, emus, wolves and wolf hybrids, mountain lions and even alligators, piranhas and a boa constrictor. Currently, the PGC has issued a total of 151 exotic animal permits (11 wildlife dealer permits, 28 exotic wildlife possession and 112 menagerie permits). If the agency had a choice, they would get out of the exotic wildlife permit business, and that’s why they support a bill from state Rep. Ed Staback designed to do just that. House Bill 1398 would eliminate the exotic possession permit. That means the PGC would no longer issue the permits and no one would be able to get one. Those who already have a permit and possess an exotic animal would be grandfathered, but once the animal is gone they couldn’t get another. Those who possess a wildlife dealer permit would be able to maintain it if they make a minimum of five transactions each year. The bill was introduced in April and has sat in the House Game and Fisheries Committee ever since. That’s too bad. It’s needed, especially considering what happened in Ohio. Right now, Staback’s bill is the only thing that could prevent a similar situation from happening here. No doubt the bill won’t be popular with those who own exotic wildlife, but that’s OK. Some things just aren’t meanto to be collected. Stick to baseball cards and leave the lions and tigers in the jungle where they belong.

This morning's reading has come close but due to some persistent cloud cover overnight most places will not have dipped to the freezing mark.

There may be a shower tomorrow, and Wednesday will be the warmest day of the week. There's a good chance for some rain by Friday, and by Saturday perhaps snow in higher elevations.

Consumer apps blend real, virtual worlds By SHAN LI Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — You point your smartphone at an Italian restaurant,anddiners’reviewsof its lasagna pop up on-screen. Or you aim your tablet computer’s camera down a residential street, and over images of the houses you see which ones are for sale — along with the asking price, number of baths and square footage. Haven’t done this yet? You probably will soon.

The technology is called augmented reality, or AR, and businesses are racing to incorporate it in as many consumer applications as they can. It’s essentially the same technology TV sportscasts use to digitally paint a firstdown line on a football field, adapted and updated for cameraequipped smartphones and tablet computers. “In the future, you’ll be able to point your device at anything around you and, without prompting, that device will rec-

AR has been around for years, but only recently gained traction for consumers with the widespread adoption of smartphones equipped with electronic compasses and GPS chips to determine where the devices are and what they’re pointing at. The mingling of the real and virtual worlds works by overlayingwhatisinplainsightwithdigital photos, videos or text. It’s similar to the sophisticated bar

Savvy ways to escape bank fees By CLAUDIA BUCK McClatchy Newspapers

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Banks. These days, they really know how to irritate their customers. First it was excessive overdraft fees and hefty penalties on credit cards. Then it was the anemically low interest rates on savings. And now, it’s the $5-a-month charge to swipe your debit card. Not all banks are levying all those fees. But those who do are getting plenty of attention, particularly after the country’s largest, Bank of America, announced it will start charging a $5 debit card fee next year. Like the rest of us, banks have been pummeled by the economy. They’ve been hit by bad loans, payment defaults and bankruptcies. And a consumer-minded Congress has curbed what they can charge on numerous fronts. The recent limit on “swipe” fees that banks charge merchants is estimated to cost banks $6.6 billion a year. But it’s consumers who feel they’re paying the price. “When banks have their revenue cut in some way, it always comes back to haunt consumers,” said Bill Hardekopf, CEO of LowCards.com, an online credit card rating site. An August survey by Bankrate.com found that fewer than 2 percent of banks were charging monthly or annual debit card fees. But overall, 60 percent more accounts carry fees and balance requirements than a year ago. “Bank fees aren’t going away,” said Bankrate senior financial analyst Greg McBride in an email. “We’ll see continued declines in free checking accounts and debit rewards programs, in addition to monthly debit card fees. But, he added, “Consumers are not hostage to these fees, and savvy consumers won’t stand for them.” As consumers, we’ve all got choices. If you’re looking for options to avoid the new fees, here’s an overview: • Talk to your bank: Ask the bank how to avoid the fees, said

POLITICAL FINANCE MICHAEL HILTZIK

9-9-9 tax plan just another election fantasy HERMAN CAIN’S 9-9-9 plan would probably be seen as just another cockamamie tax scheme were it not for his surprising ascendance to frontrunner ranks in the Republican Party primary. Yet one of the more interesting questions raised by the plan hasn’t gotten much attention: What accounts for the enduring popularity of such tax nostrums, when they never pencil out? Cain’s proposal, which purportedly would replace today’s federal tax code with a flat 9 percent personal income tax, a flat 9 percent corporate tax and a flat 9 percent national sales tax, has the surface appeal of an advertising slogan. He maintains it would be “fair” and “simple,” get the government “out of our pockets,” allow for the abolition of the IRS and create a huge surge in economic growth. There’s reason to be skeptical about these claims, because every tax scheme mooted during a political campaign makes the same promises, and none ever seems to be rooted in political or economic realities here on planet Earth. One feature they all share, as it happens, is their murkiness, and 9-9-9 is no exception. In the 1930s, Louisiana’s Democratic Sen. Huey Long tried to make himself a presidential contender on the strength of his “Share Our Wealth” program, which would tax out of existence all income over $1 million and wealth over $3 million. The revenue thus raised would be spent on what the historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. dismissed uncharitably as “a hillbilly’s paradise” — guaranteeing every family $2,000 in annual income and a $5,000 “homestead” grant, along with old-age pensions and free college educations. Long finessed questions about his plan’s shaky economic foundation mostly by refusing to answer them. During the same era, in California the Socialist author Upton Sinclair ran for governor by proposing to “end poverty in California” by replacing the sales tax and most property taxes with an income tax pitched at the wealthy and a sharp increase in the inheritance tax. The revenue raised by the new taxes would be a fraction of the old. Sinclair almost won. In the 1990s, the Big Idea was the Flat Tax, promoted by the presidential campaigns of magazine executive Steve Forbes. The Forbes plan derived from a program cooked up by two Hoover Institution fellows, Robert E. Hall and Alvin Rabushka. Their idea was to replace the multiple brackets and deductions of the tax code with a straight 19 percent levy. As Bankman observed in 1995, even as Hall and Rabushka were claiming that their tax was “the fairest tax of all” because it treated all income earners pretty much the same, they acknowledged that it would be “a tremendous boon to the economic elite from the start.” Cain says his plan replaces the payroll tax and eliminates the inheritance tax, provides few incentives for evasion, and is fair, neutral and transparent. According to a cogent analysis by Edward D. Kleinbard, a University of Southern California law professor who was chief of staff to Congress’ joint committee on taxation from 2007 to 2009, none of these claims holds water. Kleinbard estimates that 9-9-9 would cut the after-tax disposable income of a family with gross wage income of $120,000 by $541 compared with current law; a family with $50,000 in wages would be poorer by $4,848. On the other hand, entrepreneurs and other business owners would have a convenient option to cut their own tax bill, simply by paying themselves not in wages but in dividends, which would be tax-exempt. The best that can be said about the Cain plan is that it sits securely in the historical continuum of tax-related snake oil and parlor tricks. In olden days, the targets of such scams were rubes and children. Is that what Cain takes us for? Mike Hiltzik is a financial columnist for the Los Angeles Times.

NYC protest park owner navigates dilemma By MEGHAN BARR and MONIKA MATHUR Associated Press

NEW YORK — The New York plaza commandeered by activists who helped birth a global protest is owned by a wealthy real estate corporation with million-dollar properties around the world. It is, in other words, precisely the sort of company the protesters have been shouting about for more than a month. Brookfield Office Properties owns Zuccotti Park, a granite space near Wall Street that, until recently, was a quiet outdoor plaza where New Yorkers occasionally ate lunch or relaxed on a bench. A highly respected real estate power player, Brookfield now finds itself in an unprecedented quandary: How to keep the public from using a space that is, well, for the public. “It was meant to be a major public space in the Wall Street area,” said Ross Sandler, a professor at New York Law School. “That was the purpose of it.”

The company has won praise for good security at its properties, yet has fumbled in efforts to break up the encampment known as “Occupy Wall Street.” Its options are limited because Zuccotti Park is one of more than 500 “bonus plazas” in the city: privately owned public parks borne of a little-known compromise struck in 1961 between the city and developers. Last week, the company threatened

to evict protesters in order to clean the park. Brookfield said it would start enforcing already-existing rules that would effectively end the occupation: no sleeping bags, no lying down on benches, no storing belongings on the ground. But zoning law doesn’t say a word about specific regulations that an owner can set forth in a park. According to the city, it’s up to the owner to enact the “reasonable rules of conduct” and to enforce them. If the protesters are ultimately kicked out of the park, there are myriad other similar plazas around the city, though many are smaller. Some experts think bonus plazas are ushering in a new chapter of activism in the city’s history. “I finally think these spaces have a purpose in life,” said Gregory Smithsimon, author of “The Beach Beneath the Streets: Contesting New York City’s Public Spaces” and an assistant professor of urban sociology at Brooklyn College. “In other words, they’re starting to look like real park space.”

Hardekopf. Some banks will waive fees if you maintain a higher balance or open an additional account, like savings. Some, like Bank of America, let you avoid fees if using your debit card only for ATM withdrawals, not for purchases. • Switch to the 3 “C’s”: If you don’t want to get dinged on your debit card, one option is switching to cash, checks or credit cards. Credit cards can be a good option, but only if you pay the balance — in full and on time — each month. If not, interest charges or late payment fees could easily outstrip a $5 monthly debit card fee. • Look at credit unions: Credit unions, which are not-for-profits that don’t answer to shareholders, typically offer fewer or lower fees. Some require membership in an association or workplace. But many have virtually no membership re-

quirement. • A note of caution: Before you bounce from your bank, be sure you’re not trading one bothersome fee for others somewhere else. One way to compare bank fees is at websites like Bankrate.com or a newer site, DepositAccounts.com. Marching out the door of your bank, no matter how satisfactory that may sound, needs to be done carefully so you don’t incur extra costs. Consumers Union, warns consumers to not move too hastily when closing out an existing account. Among its tips: If you open a second account at another bank or credit union, put in enough money to avoid charges for a low balance. See if it’s possible to make the transfer electronically. Keep both accounts open for at least a month or one billing cycle, if not longer. Don’t close the first account until all your outstanding checks have cleared. If using direct deposit, contact your employer or others to reroute checks to the new account.

the future. To maintain this momentum, you must now concentrate on developing a strong, positive connection with your incoming boss. Since he’s the one who will be writing your next performance review, you don’t want any lingering resentment to contaminate that relationship.

By MARIE G. MCINTYRE McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q: After my manager resigned, I began reporting directly to the vice president of our department. For the past few months, she has praised my outstanding performance and frequently asked for my advice. She also included me in her weekly staff meetings. A few weeks ago, the vice president hired a new manager who is likely to become my boss. She is now consulting him instead of me. I have also been removed from the weekly meetings. No one has told me what’s going on, so I’m becoming concerned about my future. Does this situation sound normal? A: Not to worry. You’re simply experiencing the turmoil that frequently follows an unexpected management departure. Having been left without a boss, you were temporarily elevated to the next level, where you found yourself assuming additional responsibilities and participating in higher-level discussions. Now, however, the hiring of your manager’s replacement has restored the previous order, leaving you to wonder where all those fun newdutieswent.Hadanyonebothered to view this situation from your point of view, they would have realized that you deserve an explanation of the transition process. Unfortunately, no one appears to have given this any thought. The good news, though, is that your interim reporting relationship provided a rare and valuable opportunity to impress the vice president. Having observed your talents first-hand, she is quite likely to support your advancement in

Q: My co-worker, “Carly,” has very bad breath. If she comes into my office for even a few minutes, the odor is still there after she leaves. This is really bothering me, but I don’t know how to tell her about it. A: Instead of raising this delicate issue yourself, consider asking your boss for help. Because managers are responsible for providing feedback, Carly may be less offended if the message comes via that route. Here’s one way that your boss might begin this uncomfortable conversation: “Carly, I need to talk with you about a sensitive matter that is somewhat difficult to discuss. However, as your manager, I feel obligated to mention it. I’ve noticed that at times there is a rather unusual odor on your breath. This sometimes indicates a medical problem, so I wanted to see if you were aware of it.” After that, your manager should encourageCarlytoconsultherdoctor or dentist for advice. That will put the problem in the hands of medicalprofessionals,whichiscertainly where it belongs. Marie G.

ing vessels from Germany arrived on flatbed trucks at their new home at the Susquehanna Brewing Co. Ed Maier said this is just another step in the process that started a few years ago when he decided that the beer distribution company should be sold and the owners should instead focus their finances and attention on making, not distributing, beer. “We are only just beginning,” said Maier, 61, of Lehman Township. His years in the beer industry gave him some keen insights. What he saw in the ongoing battle between behemoths such as Bud, Coors and Miller and the little microbreweries throughout the nation was that David was landing some body blows on Goliath. “The craft industry has been the shining star in brewing the past 10 years. The big brands

have been struggling and the small locals have been doing well,” Maier said. He hopes the trend continues. With a $10 million investment planned — $1 million alone in those five tanks — Maier said the investment is huge but worth it. “We believe it’s a very wise investment or else we wouldn’t be doing it,” he said. Nobile, 55, of Jenkins Township, said his grandfather, Mac Gargano, opened Wyoming Quality Beverage in West Wyoming in 1934, a year after Prohibition ended. He merged the company with Maier’s Premium Brands in 2004 to form United Beverage. He said his familiarity with the distribution business and the Maiers’ background in both distribution and brewing gives the company a head start many microbreweries don’t have. While Ed Maier began his career working in the family’s Stegmaier Brewery in WilkesBarre, his son Fred, of Dallas Township, began by sweeping floors at the family’s Premium

Brands beer distribution warehouse. Now 33, Fred Maier said he’s spent half of his life around beer, including a few years as a home brewer, a hobby he started while in college. He’s seen the evolution of beer making but more so in beer buying and how younger drinkers want more choices. “Younger people have shunned the national brands. They don’t want to be told what to do,” Fred Maier said. As a result, microbrew owners see a market that’s willing to try new beers, especially if they’re local. In addition to Susquehanna Brewing, other area craft breweries include Breaker Brothers in Wilkes-Barre Township; Barley Creek Brewing Co. in Tannersville; Pocono Brewing Co. in Swiftwater; Turkey Hill Brewing Co. in Bloomsburg; and Marley’s Brewing Co. also in Bloomsburg. There’s also Lion Brewery in Wilkes-Barre, which purchased the Stegmaier Brewing label and names in 1974 from Ed Maier.

Ed Maier said the plan is to brew two or three beers at first and then to expand to as many as seven in a few years. The types of beer haven’t been decided but it’s likely a pilsner, lager and ale are frontrunners and seasonal brews such as summer wheat, a spring Bok and a fall Oktoberfest are also in the works. A master brewer has been hired and will begin working next month, Ed Maier said, but he would not identify him. “I can’t divulge that yet, but he’s an American who has worked around the world. He’s a world class brewer,” he allowed. Fred Maier is glad he’ll be a seventh-generation beer company owner. “I appreciate where I came from,” he said. Ed Maier said the evolution of his career has gone something like this: “We brewed it, then we wholesaled it, soon we’ll be brewing it again.” And he wouldn’t have it any other way. “We’re beer people,” he said.

“The craft industry has been the shining star in brewing the past 10 years. The big brands have been struggling and the small locals have been doing well.” Ed Maier

MarketPulse THE BEST OF THE BEST Investors have heard a lot recently about the importance of buying high-quality stocks. But what does “quality” mean? Goldman Sachs tries to explain just that in a recent report. Based on a host of measurements including reliably strong earnings and a company’s stock performance over time, Goldman picked 50 stocks for its “high-quality” basket. It includes Yum brands, which owns the Taco Bell and Pizza Hut chains along with others, and National Oilwell Varco, an oilfield services and products company. Goldman suggests buying stocks in the basket to protect against a volatile market.

DON’T SWEAT IT It’s a phenomenon most investors are familiar with: You buy a stock that seems cheap, and then its price falls even more. It’s easy to think that you made a mistake and bought at the wrong time. But that’s the wrong way to look at investing, says Morningstar’s Christine Benz in a report. While it’s important to pay attention to changes in your stock portfolio, there’s no way to avoid the occasional investing error, says Benz. Instead, she advises investors to aim for “direction, not perfection.” Some steps to take: Base asset allocation on research, rebalance your portfolio when necessary instead of trying to time the market and use dollarcost averaging — a way of evening out your investments over time.

ON THE DEFENSIVE The stock market has rallied in October. But many investors are still wary of the extreme volatility that has become common since August. That has made defensive stocks more attractive. Defensives include utilities and companies that sell consumer staples — things that customers keep buying even when the economy is uncertain. Demand for defensives is strong enough that Russell Investments has expanded its Defensive Index, which it launched in 2011, to include overseas companies. Its new Global Defensive index was introduced last week. Russell research director Rolf Agather says defensives have been shown to do well over the long term, and are a less risky investment than companies that rise and fall with economic cycles.

Be sensible, but find areas of growth When the economy is slowing, it’s tougher to find companies whose earnings are consistently rising. Channing Smith, co-manager at Capital Advisors Growth Fund, says it’s best to focus on large, stable companies like Procter & Gamble that can weather an economic downturn. He’s also finding pockets of growth in technology companies and automakers.

Yields slip in mixed week

Big names in small caps middle class. Marshall likes companies with strong brands because they tend to be increasing their share of profitable markets. And their success means a bigger company may try to acquire them. That would give investors a premium for their stock. Marshall’s approach is one reason why he has beaten the S&P 500 by 13 percent a year over the three years his fund has been in existence. His fund is ranked second among all small-cap funds by Morningstar. Here are some big-name small caps:

Panera Bread, Boston Beer, Domino’s Pizza. Big names, but they’re small caps — companies whose market capitalization generally falls under $3 billion. Investors often think of small caps as young, risky businesses. They can also be well-established companies with high-profile brands. Eric Marshall, manager of the $65 million Hodges Small Cap Fund, looks for smaller companies that investors will recognize. One of his top holdings is movie theater chain Cinemark. It has 295 theaters in the U.S. and is expanding in Latin America, where there’s a growing

InsiderQ&A

How do you feel about the economy, and what does that mean for stocks? Our fundamental view of the world is that the economy is slowing — not only in developed economies like the U.S. and Europe, but also in the emerging markets like China, India and Brazil. ... (That) eventually is going to impact profits. (One) quantitative indicator that we look at is (the stock market’s) moving average. What we have found is that where the market is today, it’s trading under these moving averages. That means negative momentum for the market. ... So, monthly future returns are much more likely to be negative than positive.

Smith

What do you make of the rally we’ve seen in October? Some people have said the market has hit bottom. Do you believe that? No, no, no. ... The biggest market mover that we’re going to see is coming Sunday (when European leaders meet to discuss the Greek debt problems). All eyes are on Europe. The downdraft that we’ve had is because of Europe and because of the uncertainty there. And the recent move that we’ve had (upwards) over the last week-and-a-half is because of optimism, confidence that we’re going to see a plan out of Europe. ... We’ve been taken back a bit by the optimism that we’ve seen, because it’s probably not warranted. So how are you guiding the portfolio now? You’ve mentioned that you like companies like Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson. You have to have cash, because unfortunately, we don’t know which way this market is going to go. ... (Also), invest in quality. I mentioned those bluechips, and you’ve got to be very selective and pick your spots. We like mobile Internet. We love Apple; we consider Apple a blue-chip. We like Google, Qualcomm: anything that is exposed to (the market for smartphones). ... I’ve got an iPad, my kids have Apple products; we’re not giving that up. We’re not going to go back to a Nokia phone. And there’s still room for more mobile growth? If you look at the penetration on smartphones, it’s probably 25 percent. So we have a huge runway, an enormous runway for adoption. And we’re in that mass adoption stage at this point. People are buying it. At Christmas time, they might not buy a sweater, but they’re going to buy an iPhone. You also bought automakers for growth. Which companies do you like, and why? GM and Ford. It sounds crazy. But these are stocks that are trading at a (price-to-earnings) multiple of less than six. They’ve had new management that has come in the last few years and restructured. Their cost structures are very attractive now. They’ve negotiated with the (United Auto Workers), the liabilities are now off their books. ... They’re developing products that the market wants, like the Ford Focus and the Ford Fiesta. So they’re becoming more profitable.

The price of a 10-year Treasury rose for the week, sending its yield down amid choppy stock trading. On Friday, yields rose along with stock prices as traders seemed somewhat more optimistic about the ability of European leaders to resolve the Greek debt crisis. The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage edged down to 4.11 percent from 4.12 percent a week earlier.

Panera’s revenue is up 19 percent this year despite the economy. It has raised the number of stores it plans to open. It’s now planning 105 this year and 110 in 2012. The stock is up 17 percent the last year. 52-week price range $88.75

(CNK) Close: $19.13 The company has raised its revenue from Latin America 38 percent the last year. Last month, it bought 10 theaters in Argentina that have 95 screens. The stock is up 16.5 percent the last 12 months.

(SAM) Close: $84.44

Analysts say an innovative ad campaign and a recipe change have helped Domino’s surpass its rivals. Its stock is up 92 percent the last 12 months. Yum Brands, owner of Pizza Hut, is up 5 percent.

The largest American-owned brewery is best known for its Sam Adams brand. The company’s stock is up 20 percent the last 12 months. Anheuser-Busch InBev is down 7 percent.

OPINION

Area voters are winners in debates

VOTERS WON big on Monday night thanks to the well-run forum sponsored by WilkesBarre’s Downtown Residents Association and The Times Leader, featuring 21 of 28 candidates for Luzerne County’s new 11-member county council. Such an unwieldy number of candidates presents a formidable challenge for any organization wishing to hold a meaningful discussion of the issues. But the sponsors of Monday’s civic event delivered, to the delight of the many residents in attendance at the Henry Student Center on the campus of Wilkes University. While each candidate was allotted only 4 minutes in two trips to the microphone, it helped voters take the measure of each man and woman seeking the office, as they began their process of separating the wheat from the chaffe. Most of the candidates spoke well in addressing the need for a highly qualified, independent county manager, for creating a new and open county government, improving its image and shrinking its massive debt. Not one candidate asked for a straight party-line vote. The contestants were introduced by name in the order they arrived at the Henry Center. There was no mention of them being Republican, Democrat or Independent. I got the distinct impression that most of the candidates did not care to which party the person sitting next to them belonged. It was unfolding just as the drafters of the new charter had hoped and intended it to be. Before long, reporters were not the only ones in the room taking notes. Many people in the audience were jotting down their impressions, keeping score and rating each performer. Everyone seemed interested. No one jeered. No one cheered. There were no outbursts. Deserving or not, no matter what they said, each candidate received the same polite but muted applause. Worthy of note was the complete absence of any personal animosity, attacks or invective by candidates toward one another. They seemed to appreciate the gravity of the moment, the large responsibilities ahead and the part-time nature of the positions they might one day fill. Strong performances were turned in by John Ruckno, Harry Haas, Rick Morelli, Bill James, Jere Packard, Rick Williams, Jim Bobeck, Ed Brominski, Elaine Maddon Curry and Jane WalshWaitkus. Only county Commissioner Stephen A. Urban appeared somewhat bitter at the passage of the new reform-minded county charter. While he seemingly attempted to defend the current, discredited charter of county government and the commissioners that run it, those in the audience were not buying it. The evening at Wilkes University remained wonderfully positive. Wes Parks of the Downtown Residents Association did a masterful job of moderating the event without becoming part of it. He kept things on track and on time. The pace was lively, the candidates informative and everyone took advantage of Parks’ required seventhinning stretch. Only 16 days remain in this 2011 campaign of renewal. At the end of the month, The Times Leader’s in-depth video interviews with each candidate for county council will be up on its website for your review and study. But it doesn’t stop there. Wilkes-Barre city is the site of an important race for mayor. The Times Leader therefore is sponsoring a mayoral debate featuring all three candidates for this most important position. On hand will be Democratic incumbent Mayor Thomas Leighton, Republican nominee Lisa Cope and Libertarian candidate Betsy Summers. The event will take place at 7 p.m. this Wednesday in the Stark Learning Center at Wilkes University, WilkesBarre. Doors open at 6 p.m. Come early and watch the voters win. Again.

By GREG BLUESTEIN Associated Press Editor’s note: This story is the latest installment in a joint initiative by The Associated Press and Associated Press Media Editors on the fiscal crisis facing U.S. states and cities, how state and local governments are dealing with severe budget cuts, and how American lives will change because of it.

TLANTA — Prosecutors are forced to ignore misdemeanor violations to pursue more serious crimes. Judges are delaying trials to cope with layoffs and strained staffing levels. And in some cases, those charged with violent crimes, even murder, are set free because caseloads are too heavy to ensure they receive a speedy trial. Deep budget cuts to courts, public defenders, district attorney’s and attorney general offices are testing the criminal justice system across the country. In the most extreme cases, public defenders are questioning whether their clients are getting a fair shake. Exact figures on the extent of the cuts are hard to come by, but an American Bar Association report in August found that most states cut court funding 10 percent to 15 percent within the past three years. At least 26 states delayed filling open judgeships, while courts in 14 states were forced to lay off staff, said the report. The National District Attorneys Association estimates that hundreds of millions of dollars in criminal justice funding and scores of posi-

In the most extreme cases, public defenders are questioning whether their clients are getting a fair shake. tions have been cut amid the economic downturn, hampering the ability of authorities to investigate and prosecute cases. “It’s extremely frustrating. Frankly, the people that do these jobs have a lot of passion. They don’t do these jobs for the money. They are in America’s courtrooms every day to protect victims and do justice,” said Scott Burns of the National District Attorneys Association. “And they’re rewarded with terminations, furloughs and cuts in pay.” The ripple effects have spread far beyond criminal cases to even the most mundane court tasks, such as traffic violations and child custody petitions. The wait to process an uncontested divorce in San Francisco, for example, is expected to double to six months as the system struggles to absorb state budget cuts that have led to layoffs of 40 percent of the court’s work

force and the closing of 25 of 63 courtrooms. Some wealthier residents are turning to private arbitrators to hear their cases, said Yasmine Mehmet, a family law attorney in San Francisco who advises some of her clients to settle disputes outside the public court system. “We’re seeing huge delays in getting trial dates and just getting standard documents processed,” she said. “The courts are just so overwhelmed. They just don’t have the people-power to handle these cases.” The cuts come as civil and criminal caseloads for many state and county systems have swelled. Maine had a 50 percent increase in civil cases during the last five years, in part because of foreclosures related to the nation’s housing crisis, records show. Iowa’s court system is strugSee CUTS, Page 6E

Obama hoping ‘Occupy’ anger helps campaign IF YOU’RE one of the thousands of demonstrators sleeping in parks, carrying signs and banging on drums to protest Wall Street’s hammerlock on American politics, President Obama wants you to know he feels

your pain. “I understand the frustrations that are being expressed in those protests,” Obama said in an interview with ABC News on Tuesday. “The most important thing we can do right now,” he added, is “letting people know that ... we are on their side.” When he first expressed sympathy for the Occupy Wall Street movement two weeks ago, Obama added a characteristically cautious qualification: “We have to have a strong, effective financial sector in order for us to grow.” But this week, as he has taken his campaign message on the road, the president has sounded a more populist, and more partisan, tone. His Republican opponents, Obama said in Asheville, N.C., on Monday, “want to gut regulations. They want to let Wall Street do whatever it wants.” It might seem surprising that a coolly technocratic president, who once cast himself as a centrist mediator, is now so ready to identify himself with the protesters occupying city parks. Until you look at the polls, that is. A Time magazine poll released last week found that 54 percent of Americans had a favorable impression of the Occupy Wall Street protests, and other surveys have found similar numbers. Even Eric Cantor, the fiercely conservative leader of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, figured that out. After initially condemning the protesters as a “mob,” Cantor backtracked last week, saying, “People are upset, and they’re justifiably frustrated. ... I get it.” Even more important to Obama and his strategists, the Time poll found that among Democrats, the protesters’ favorable rating swelled to 66 protests. Some of the demonstrators may look scruffy after living in tents for weeks, but they’re admired by the people who put Obama in the White House three years ago — and whose support he needs to win a second term in 2012. Obama has a motivation problem with his young and liberal base. They’ve been hit hard by unemployment, frustrated by the president’s inability to fix the economy and disappointed by his moves toward the center. A CNN poll released this week reported that only 42 percent of Democrats said they were enthusiastic about voting next year; among Republicans, 64 percent said they were enthusiastic. That “enthusiasm gap” worries the Obama campaign. The president doesn’t have any primary challengers, but he’s running in a shadow primary all the same. He needs to reconnect with his base and to reassure them that he’s still a community organizer at heart. Expressing sympathy for Occupy Wall Street is one way to do that. The protests have also given the Obama campaign an easy angle of attack against Mitt Romney, the most likely Republican candidate. “He represents really the Wall Street side of business — you know, he stripped down companies, outsourced jobs — in ways that I think reflect people’s concerns about the economy,” Obama’s chief campaign strategist, David Axelrod, said this week on MSNBC. That reflects another pillar of Obama’s reelection strategy: framing next year’s vote as a choice between two candidates and two programs — a contest he might be able to win — instead of a referendum on Obama’s success at reviving the economy, a contest he’s likely to lose. But can Obama succeed in turning grassroots anger, some of which is directed at his own stewardship of the economy, to his electoral advantage? It won’t be easy. Ever since he began running for president in 2007, he has oscillated between two Obamas, the liberal populist and the centrist mediator; but the net result has made both halves of his 2008 coalition — liberals and centrists — skeptical. At this point, most of the Occupy Wall Street folks don’t appear to want anything to do with Obama, or any other officeholder, for that matter. “We don’t want to associate with politicians because that would just divide people,” Sonia Silbert, one of the coordinators of Washington’s protests, told me. “I’m not surprised that the Obama campaign is trying to ride this thing. But if we went in that direction, that would be the end of the moment, right there.” What’s remarkable, though, is how anxious the Obama campaign appears to be to get on See MCMANUS, Page 6E

OUR OPINION: FLOOD RECOVERY

Neighbors rally, fill library shelves

R. PEABODY fans can set the Wayback machine to a bit more than a month ago (newspaper recycling procrastinators can just find the Sept. 14 issue of The Times Leader). Anne Bramblett-Barr stood outside the West Pittston Library in Tshirt, work jeans and boots, the flood-damaged desks and file cabinets of the library stacked behind her. Remarkably upbeat in the wake of a natural disaster that wiped out every scrap of the library’s furniture and computer equipment along with roughly half its books, the library’s executive director had already set up a makeshift service in a nearby school, and promised to be serving residents within days, not weeks. The task ahead was more than daunting; it was monumental. Many irreplaceable texts had been placed in a freezer until the staff could get the chance to clean them. Dry books sat in a pile in the temporary headquarters – “We call it the library cube,” Bramblett-Barr quipped. The library itself was being gutted and dried by volunteers. The youthful optimism seemed, to say the least, overly rosy. Flash forward to Thursday’s paper, a beaming Barr back in

her executive director “dress uniform” standing in front of stacks of books on sparkling metal shelves. Thanks to the generosity of the owners of the Insalaco Shopping Center, she’s got ample fluorescent lighting, a large circulation desk, and enough gratitude to fill a warehouse. “We called Sandy Insalaco Sr. and he said, ‘anything for the library,’” Barr told a reporter. “We’re getting this rent free, all the utilities are covered. It’s the perfect opportunity to get us back on our feet.” Local businesses as well as a library and university from another county provided furniture, computers and other support. In our age of hyper-partisan and hyperbolic vitriol, the West Pittston Library’s rapid rebirth – and the thousands of similar examples of neighbors helping neighbors in the wake of September’s devastating floods – exemplifies everything right about our community, our county and our country. For bibliophiles, there is sweet irony having a library set up in a defunct video rental outlet. But for all of us, there is joy and optimism in seeing such a textbook example of the meaning of “community.”

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I still maintain my innocence.” Lamont Cherry Aa Luzerne County jury found the 37-year-old man guilty Thursday of third-degree murder for causing fatal injuries to a 1-year-old girl left in his care. In January, Cherry had been acquitted of first-degree murder in the case, meaning he’d escape the death penalty.

OTHER OPINION: EPA STANDARDS

Cries of job loss hinder regulation

HESE DAYS, conservatives can’t seem to say “government regulations” without the prefix “job-killing.” It’s like a hiccup. If so, it must be contagious, infecting even President Obama: In putting off instituting Environmental Protection Agency regulations of smogcausing ozone last month – an about-face that reversed a commitment to strengthening protections – Obama seemed to agree that regulating pollution costs jobs. But no one yet has shown real evidence that regulations cause a net loss of jobs or harm the economy. In fact, evidence suggests the opposite. Besides, no amount of environmental, workplace or product-safety regulations could kill as many jobs as the lack of financial regulations managed to obliterate. The 2007 recession was triggered by the economic collapse caused by practices that might have been prevented if the Glass Steagall Act had not been repealed. In the process, a net 8 million jobs were lost. While nearly every proposed EPA regulation is met with howls from businesses – and politicians who serve them – it usually turns out that, not only does industry wildly overestimate costs, but

so does the EPA. For sure, new regulations will likely force the closing of about 20 percent of coal-powered electric plants. But these are the oldest, least efficient and dirtiest plants, which cause environmental damage for which taxpayers often must pick up the bill. By contrast, spending on environmental compliance – and the new technologies to do it – creates jobs in construction and manufacturing that offset losses. And research counters the claim that businesses rarely move overseas because of environmental regulations; rather, they usually are chasing cheap labor and health insurance. The White House Office of Management and Budget issues an annual report to Congress detailing the estimated benefits and costs of all federal regulations. It found that between 1999 and 2009, the costs of all government regulations ranged from $43 billion and $55 billion; benefits were between $128 billion and $616 billion. Of course, this is measuring only dollars and cents. How many jobs balance out 4,300 deaths a year – EPA’s own estimate of the result of delaying new smog standards? Philadelphia Daily News

The art of politics and other passing observations RANDOM THOUGHTS on the passing scene: Like so many people, in so many countries, who started out to “spread the wealth,” President Barack Obama has ended up spreading poverty. Have you ever heard anyone as incoherent as the people staging protests across the country? Taxpayers ought to be protesting against having their money spent to educate people who end up unable to say anything beyond repeating political catch phrases. It is hard to understand politics if you are hung up on reality. Politicians leave reality to others. What matters in politics is what you can get the voters to believe, whether it bears any resemblance to reality or not. If he were debating Barack Obama, Newt Gingrich could chew him up and spit him out. Whether the particular issue is housing, medical care or anything in between, the agenda of the left is to take the decision out of the hands of those directly involved and transfer that decision to third parties, who pay no price for making decisions that turn out to be counterproductive. It is truly the era of the New Math when a couple making $125,000 a year each are taxed at rates that are said to apply to “millionaires and billionaires.”

COMMENTARY THOMAS SOWELL

that the politicians have solved, and unaware of the bigger problems they have created, political “solutions” are a political success. Do people who advocate special government programs for blacks realize that the federal government has had special programs for American Indians, including affirmative action, since the early 19th century – and that American Indians remain one of the few groups worse off than blacks? I hope the people who are challenging “Obamacare” in the Supreme Court point out that the equal application of the laws, mandated by the 14th Amendment, is violated when the president can arbitrarily grant hundreds of waivers to the “Obamacare” law to his political favorites, while everyone else has to follow its costly provisions. People who live within their means are increasingly being forced to pay for people who didn’t live within their means – whether individual homebuyers here or whole nations in Europe. Have you noticed that we no longer seem to be hearing the old familiar argument that illegal immigrants are just taking jobs that Americans won’t do?

On many issues, the strongest argument of the left is that there is no argument. This has been the left’s party line on the issue of manmade global warming and the calamities they claim will follow. But there are many scientists – some with Nobel Prizes – who have repudiated the global warming hysteria. With professional athletes earning megabucks incomes, it is a farce to punish their violations of rules with fines. When Serena Williams was fined $2,000 for misconduct during a tennis match, that was like fining you or me a nickel or a dime. Suspensions are something that even the highest-paid athletes can feel. Most of us might lament the fact that so many more people are today dependent on food stamps and other government subsidies. But dependency usually translates into votes for whoever is handing out the benefits, so an economic disaster can be a political bonanza, as it was for Franklin D. Roosevelt. Don’t count out Obama in 2012. Politicians can solve almost any problem – Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover usually by creating a bigger problem. But, so Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His website is www.tsowell.com. long as the voters are aware of the problem

Regulations need to protect public, but also spur growth ONE OF government’s roles is to create rules that protect the public health and keep us safe. Thanks to drug safety regulations, we can take medicine without the fear of being poisoned. Because our nation passed child labor laws, we no longer see young children working in textile mills. And these rules also can help businesses by building consumer confidence and trust. But we also know that new technology and new approaches can make some regulations obsolete. Others overlap or are overly burdensome. And yet too often, they stay on the books, standing in the way of investment and innovation. They keep employers from putting people back to work or prevent health care providers from delivering the best care. When old regulation stifles new growth, we all pay the price. So last January, President Obama launched an effort to shape a 21st-century regulatory system that protects public health and safety, while also promoting economic growth and saving Americans billions of dollars. The president ordered federal agencies to review regulations and to modify, streamline or repeal those that were redundant or overly burdensome. Across the government, agencies have responded to this call by applying unprecedented scrutiny to the laws and rules they

COMMENTARY KATHLEEN SEBELIUS oversee. At the Department of Health and Human Services, that process already is leading to some significant changes. Last week, our department proposed new rules for the hospitals that participate in Medicare to make it easier for doctors, nurses and other hospital care providers to work together to deliver the best care. For example, the current rules required hospitals to have a single director of outpatient services. This requirement made sense back when most of the care given in a hospital was inpatient. But today, when everything from arthroscopic knee surgery to tonsil removal can be done with outpatient procedures, it makes more sense for these procedures to be overseen by the specialists responsible for them. Another change would allow physicians and nurses to provide the full range of care for which they’re licensed. Many states allow providers such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners to provide all the care that they’re fully qualified and licensed to provide – but the federal guidelines are often more restrictive. Now, we’re proposing to eliminate these restrictions so that hospitals will have more flexibility to make the

best use of their staffs. These are commonsense steps that will enable health providers to provide better care and could save approximately $5 billion over the next five years – resources that providers can use to improve care and give patients more time with their doctors. And these rule changes are just one part of a broader government-wide effort that could lead to savings of more than $10 billion over the next five years. This is not a one-shot deal. President Obama has made it clear to me and all agency leaders across government that we must remain focused on reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens. Contrary to what some people have suggested, there has been no explosion of new rules in the Obama administration. In fact, this administration has issued approximately the same number of regulations in its first two years as the previous administration did. What is new is this government-wide commitment to eliminating regulations that are duplicative, unnecessary or overly burdensome. We will continue to strike the balance that President Obama has called for between supporting new rules that are necessary eliminating or modifying those regulations that cause more harm than good. Kathleen Sebelius is secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

A little Vegas heat fails to topple Romney ON Tuesday night, seismologists at the Las Vegas Oceanographic Institute reported the first recorded movement of a hair on Mitt Romney’s head. Although it was only one follicle, displaced a mere 1.2 centimeters, the tremors were felt from Iowa to New Hampshire. Simultaneously, these same scientists detected signs of life in Rick Perry, last seen comatose at the recent Dartmouth debate. Such were the highlights of Tuesday’s seven-person Republican brawl at the Venetian. To be sure, there were other developments: Herman Cain stumbled, Newt Gingrich grinned, Rick Santorum landed a clean shot at “Romneycare” and Michele Bachmann made a spirited bid for a comeback. But the main event was the scripted Rick Perry attack on Romney, reprising the old charge of Romney hiring illegal immigrants. Perry’s face-to-face accusation of rank hypocrisy had the intended effect. From the ensuing melee emerged a singularity: a ruffled Romney, face flushed, voice raised. It lasted just a millisecond but it left its mark. The reassuring and unflappable command that had carried Romney through – indeed, above – previous debates was punctured. True, his unflappability is, to some, less reassurance than a sign of inauthenticity. But if you are going to show real passion, petulance is not the way to do it. Worse, Romney turned to the referee – moderator Anderson Cooper – with a plaintive “Anderson?” seeking intervention. An uncharacteristically weak moment. What does he do when Vladimir Putin sticks a finger in his chest and starts yelling at a Vienna summit? Call for Anderson? On substance, Romney remained as solid as ever, showing by far the most mastery of policy, with the possible exception of Gingrich – but without the lecturing tone and worldweary condescension. Romney’s command was best seen in his takedown of Cain’s 9-9-9 plan. Cain refused to concede the burden to consumers of a national sales tax added on to existing state sales taxes. Doggedly sticking to his point long after it had been undermined, he kept raining down metaphors about apples and oranges. His national sales tax is a solution to a federal problem (a monstrous tax code), he insisted, and therefore irrelevant to any discussion of state sales taxes, which would exist regardless.

ANOTHER VIEW

A photograph by Pete G. Wilcox and words by Mark E. Jones

COMMENTARY CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER It took Romney one sentence to expose the sophistry. He simply pointed out that a realworld consumer with a basketful of apples and oranges would be paying the sum of the two sales taxes at checkout. Q.E.D. Cain remained, as always, charming, engaging, confident and good-willed, the only person on stage other than Bachmann who didn’t have a sour or a nasty moment. But his tax plan collapsed under fire in about 10 minutes, the coup de grace being delivered by Gingrich, who, when asked why the Cain plan is a hard sell, replied, “You just watched it.” It was the deadliest line of the night. However, the principal drama was provided by Perry. His aggressive performance brought him back into the game, especially because he now has a few weeks before the next debate to deploy his major assets: a talent for retail politics and a ton of money. But the price of re-entry was high. His awakening wasn’t very pretty. He showed he can draw blood, but it was a nasty schoolyard punch-up. In primary races, personal attacks often have the effect of diminishing both candidates. This happened in 2004 in Iowa when Democratic front-runners Dick Gephardt and Howard Dean knocked each other silly, allowing John Kerry and John Edwards to sneak past them. Nonetheless, because of his considerable resources, Perry, by merely stirring himself, is back. But he hasn’t solved his problem. It’s not just that, as he readily admits, he’s not very good at debating, although that in itself is a huge liability. It wasn’t before 1960. It is now. And based on Perry’s first five performances, Barack Obama would eat him alive in a oneon-one. But apart from the importance of debating itself, Perry’s often clueless responses betray an even deeper problem: He simply hasn’t thought through the issues on a national scale. He is still Texas. And Texas simply isn’t enough. The Vegas fight mildly unsettled the Republican race. But its central dynamic remains. It awaits the coalescence of anti-Romney sentiment around one challenger. Until and unless that happens, it’s Romney’s race to lose. Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@charleskrauthammer.com.

Forty years ago, Maude Batie was walking down 12th Street in Detroit, a street that would one day be renamed Rosa Parks Boulevard, when a voice spoke to her as if it were coming from her chest. “It told me to inquire about this building,” she says from her wheelchair, pointing to a one-story structure that gleamed in the autumn sun. Back then, the building was new and nondescript. A warehouse-type thing, maybe a garage. She never bothered to look inside. Instead, she found the owner, asked him how much he would take for it, and when he said $28,000, she shook her head. “The Lord told me $19,500, and not a penny more!” she declared. The man seemed to melt. He agreed instantly. More divine intervention? Perhaps. Then she sprung one last piece of news on him: “I don’t have a job.” How does a woman on public assistance manage to buy a building and open a soup kitchen when she has never done either before?

If you’ve never been hungry or out on the street, you might not miss a place like Mother Batie’s if it closed. But those who have would miss it terribly, and we cannot let it happen. And eat. That shouldn’t be too much, right? Mother Batie says she needs between $1,000 and $1,500 a week to operate her program. Having seen the kitchen, the refrigerators, the sinks, storage and dining room in action, it doesn’t seem like too much. And having spent some time with this remarkable woman, “too much” doesn’t apply.

Remember victims of Beirut attack

wenty-eight years ago today, our country experienced its first battle in our current war against terrorism. On Oct. 23, 1983, the Battalion Landing Team headquarters building in the Marine Amphibious Unit compound at Beirut International Airport was destroyed by a terrorist attack. In the raid, 241 Marines, sailors and soldiers were killed and about 100 were wounded. You might recall the bombing was carried out by a lone terrorist who drove a truck into the barracks while the majority of the U.S. soldiers slept. The building imploded from the force of the 12,000-pound explosion. Our country suffered many degrees of loss that day, and it served as a sharp awakening to that region’s harsh realities. Our first duty is to remember these soldiers. In particular, I would like everyone to recall that Wilkes-Barre resident and GAR High School graduate, Captain Walter E. Wint Jr. was killed in that attack. Wally was a terrific guy, quiet and reserved, always with a pinch of snuff in his lip. His great ambition was to be a Marine officer and serve his country. We should honor and recognize him and all of our armed forces, living and dead, who defend and protect our freedom. Semper fidelis, Wally. Ken Krogulski Kingston Township

Nothing scary about tea party

ctober is the time of year for falling leaves, cooler days, football and Halloween – with haunted houses and spooky stories of ghosts, goblins, witches and ghouls. But now we have a new twist on the seasonal specters. This year we hear about the scary tales of the terrifying “tea party” and those creepy conservatives. Ooooooo! The urban legend goes that they are racist, too radical and that they are a terrorist risk. Yet they’re fellow Americans from all walks of life peacefully and legally standing up for their conservative ideals based on facts and truths (facts are neither conservative nor liberal) and not on only what they are being spoon-. If you are one who wants to spend your time hiding under the covers, you have the right to do so.

What happened to jobs promise?

rior to the 2010 midterm elections, all the Republicans talked about was jobs, echoing that the country has to get back to work and more jobs must be created. Well, the Republicans took back the House, and since then they have done a lot. The Republican-controlled House has voted to cut Social Security and Medicare, advocated the defunding of global warming research, proposed a budget that would cut aid to the poor, attempted to cut all funding to Planned Parenthood and attempted to redefine rape to no longer include statutory rape, incest rape or drugged rape. Congress voted to cut Pell Grants and make cuts to Head Start, proposed a bill that would let a hospitalized pregnant women die instead of having a life-saving abortion. Congress has attempted to cut money for veterans and did not compromise on a budget-threatening government shutdown that would affect countless Americans. Congress cut funding for contraception for women but voted yes on contraception for

horses. Congress voted to not let the last World War I veteran be honored in the Capitol rotunda after he died. Congress has gone after labor unions and made cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency. Now Congress has done a lot, but the one thing it has not done is put this country’s citizens back to work. With unemployment at 9.1 percent, it is time for the people of this great country to get back to work, it is time for Congress to vote yes on President Obama’s jobs plan and to finally vote to do something right for the country.

Leighton has led city with vision

represented Syracuse, N.Y., and its environs for 20 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and am a proud Republican. I also have relatives in Wilkes-Barre and have visited many times over the last 30 years. We first visited in 1975 soon after the floods, and we were struck by how quickly you responded and rebuilt downtown. What a resilient city! I have since followed its slow demise, which has tracked other Northeastern cities such as Syracuse, Rochester and Scranton. But in the last several years that has begun to change. Mayors can make a real difference in their cities. My father was mayor of Syracuse in its heyday: the 1960s. He was a real leader with a vision for his city. Wilkes-Barre’s Tom Leighton is just such a mayor. He has reinvigorated downtown, opened the city back up to its beautiful waterfront and created a sense of optimism that the city’s best days are ahead. Young people are going downtown to enjoy the combination of its historic architecture and expanding nightlife.

He is making business-like decisions and running efficient city services. Business has responded, as is evidenced by the major renovation announced recently for the Genetti Hotel & Conference Center. Therefore, it is puzzling to me why there is so much criticism of him in the newspapers. Oh, I understand the push and pull of public life, having served 31 years in local and federal offices. I understand that public officials are subject to great scrutiny; but the negative coverage seems over the top. In my mind, he is an honest guy, working with the city council to do the people’s business. He wants to complete the projects that he has started and has asked the people for one more term. Ask him what his vision for the city is and then sit down for an hour while he tells you step by step. You should ask the other candidates, too. I’ll bet there is no comparison. I’m an outsider but I believe in America’s cities; they are our future. Tom Leighton is making Wilkes-Barre’s future brighter. Give him one more term and you won’t be disappointed. Jim Walsh Syracuse, N.Y.

Make educated council choices

n Nov. 8, the residents of Luzerne County will be selecting 11 out of 28 candidates for the new county council. It is extremely important that the voters elect the most qualified, experienced and ethical candidates to these council seats. The goal of this home-rule government is to reduce politics as we have seen it in the past. I sincerely hope that will be true! But let’s not be naïve to think that politics is dead in Luzerne County, because it’s not. That is why it is up to the voters to make a conscious decision by voting for the candidates who will serve us

best and not be driven by the party politics of the past. The Democratic Party of this county already is handing out slate cards to vote for all 11 Democrats for county council. Does the Democratic Party, which seemingly has controlled Luzerne County for the past number of decades, actually believe that these 11 candidates are the best choices? To date, the Republican Party has not endorsed any candidates nor has it suggested that 11 Republican candidates would be the best choices during this time of transition. I hope that remains the same until election time. Also, there are some candidates who are registered Independents and campaigning as if they are independent individuals. But just because these individuals are not registered with a political party does not necessarily mean they are not political and have political ties. Let’s remember that independent candidates often hold views more extreme than the two major political parties, are too narrow in view or have hidden affiliations with a party but don’t formally identify with it in order to avoid subjugation of its policies. Party politics is what has turned Luzerne County into a nationally recognized example of widespread political corruption, back-door deals and scandals. The party politics, which have overwhelmingly dominated this county in the past, need to be overcome. This election should not be about party affiliation, gender, race or in which community the candidate lives. It needs to be about the individuals who understand this new home rule charter, have a solid education and most important have a track record of making ethical decisions. The voters have an opportunity to change this county and have the ability to shut the door on party politics, which has driven our county into a hole. Angelo Zingaretti Wilkes-Barre

Mayor can keep improving city

ho is Tom Leighton? He is a dedicated spouse; he is a dedicated father, to a fault; he is a lifelong resident of Wilkes-Barre and graduate of King’s College. He is a successful businessman and a public servant who served as a city councilman. His council involvement was stellar, to a point of propelling him to be elected mayor. His first-term performance as mayor earned him a second term. And I do mean “earned,” as he inherited a mess; the city was in debt and its credit rating in the toilet. Who is Tom Leighton? He is my Mayor. From the outset, I concluded he had prioritized plans. The city finances were at the top of the list, and by using his administrative team, business savvy and superior people skills, he was well on the way to meeting the challenge. There was much to accomplish in development of the infrastructure. His decision to concentrate on the downtown was not received well by some people. I supported that decision, because to keep people from moving out and encourage people and business to move in, attention was needed to revitalize center city. He and his team turned around the downtown. Although the concentration was in the center city, many neighborhoods were improved as well – certainly not all that is needed. But he is the first to say it is a work in progress. Mayor Leighton, his team, legislators and city organizations have accomplished a lot over the past eight years. I cannot say that the mayor deserves the major portion of the credit. What I can say is that it was his business and people skills, coupled with an energetic approach to get the job done; this is where he

deserves the major part of the credit. He has worked countless hours on meeting the goals. When you put in that amount of time and energy, mistakes will be made – mistakes for which he accepts responsibility. It is my opinion that the accomplishments far outweigh the mistakes. You see, a mayor who does nothing makes no mistakes. Electing Lisa Cope or Betsy Summers, two apparently sincere people, at a time when experience is sorely needed will not keep the city moving forward. We have in Tom Leighton education, experience and – just maybe – a lesson learned. Richard A. Holodick Wilkes-Barre

Plymouth board backs home rule

he Plymouth Township Board of Supervisors thanks all of the residents in our municipality for their patience and understanding during these past 100-plus days. Our community was hit by a July 3 storm, devastating the Coal Street section of the township. Two homes were destroyed, leaving families homeless. During the same event, other major damage led to the condemnation of the Coal Street Bridge and wiped out the north section of the same street. In addition, Jesse Road and Mountain Road sustained major damage. . Avondale Hill also was damaged heavily. Several weeks later, another terrible storm, Hurricane Irene, arrived. It downed nearly 125 trees, often with electric utility wires intertwined. Many sections of our township were left without power for more than a week, and those households with wells had no water. A major flood caused by

Tropical Storm Lee, worse than Tropical Storm Agnes of 39 years ago, came on Sept 9. Low-lying sections of the township had to be evacuated, and when all was said and done the river level rose to 42.66 feet. The structures sustaining water from the flood numbered 159. That included businesses, residences, the fire company, two churches, the recreation park and buildings. Damage also was sustained at historical Canal Park, DeHaven Park and playground, Tilbury Terrace Road and other roads. The property owners whose structures were flooded will be struggling for the next year or two to rebuild their structures and their lives. Then, two and a half weeks later, another unpredicted rainstorm dumped on us, harming the country section of our township and the “creek road.” Those few not affected by any of these problems are to be considered very fortunate. The board of three supervisors, one full-time secretary/ treasurer and three full-time public works employees have been working to put all of this back together in cooperation with county, federal and state legislators and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. And as always, our goal is not to bring any burden on the taxpayers. We are asking all residents to bear with us during these trying times and to support the township’s home rule charter, which will be on the ballot on Nov. 8, so that we may have a stronger form of government and not raise taxes. Without the charter’s passage, it would be inevitable that property taxes would be raised 209 percent. Neither the board nor any property owner wants or needs that. The township has been

moving forward with improvements to the infrastructure, purchasing equipment and gaining financial stability. We would like for that to keep happening. Plymouth Township residents and businesses are very resilient, and with continued unity and strength, we will come out of this as we always do. Gale Conrad Chairwoman Christine Kachurak Vice chairwoman and Joe Yudichak Road master Board of Supervisors Plymouth Township

Megan’s loophole should be closed

n response to The Associated Press’ recent article (“DAs push for changes to Megan’s Law to pass,” Sept. 20): This issue is long overdue and critical to the safety and well-being of our children. It is astonishing this legislation wasn’t passed last session. This should have been done in 2009 with House Bill 1926, which passed the state House unanimously. Inaction on these bills is senseless and dangerous, and the longer the General Assembly fails to act, the more harm we cause our most precious asset – our children – by allowing sexual offenders to slip through a crack that can be permanently fixed, and with simple technical language. What we are saying to sexual offenders by failing to correct our statutes, is “come on in, Pennsylvania is a safe haven for you.” This is incredulous and an unnecessary risk. And it needs to stop – right now, with passage and enactment of legislation. There are many bills from which to choose: H.B. 91 (my legislation re-introduced from

last session) and H.B.s 74 and 75 (authored by House Judiciary Chairman Ron Marsico), which sit in the Senate’s Judiciary Committee awaiting action after passing the House unanimously in February. These bills represent a fix to the state’s Megan’s Law, revealed by the case of Commonwealth v. Arroyo, decided by the Superior Court in March 2010. There, the court reversed Arroyo’s conviction for failure to register under Megan’s Law because it found that through a drafting error, Arroyo actually was not required to register. It also addresses the issue surrounding transient or homeless offenders by requiring paroled sex offenders who become homeless to notify authorities of their whereabouts. Bottom line: The Senate needs to take up H.B. 75 and send it back to the House for concurrence. We desperately need to get this to the governor’s desk for his signature. We need to be better equipped at protecting our kids. The Megan’s Law loophole must be closed. I remain shouting from the rafters on this issue, and I would encourage every resident in the commonwealth to do the same until H.B. 75 becomes law. Kevin Murphy State representative Scranton

Writer offers views on taxes

n his commentary in the Oct. 17 edition, Newsday writer Daniel Akst documents the 46 percent of Americans who pay no federal tax. (His words.) I’ll not try to confirm or deny his information, and I fully agree that taxation is out of control in the United States. However, there are concerns:

1. We are being defended by citizen soldiers, in some cases giving their lives so we can live in freedom. Everyone should pay some federal tax for the defense provided. Taxes should be reviewed on their individual purposes, not lumped together and then determined the total is too high. 2. If the majority of us believe that tax rates should be higher for those earning more, then our elected representatives should act accordingly. The earnings cutoff to determine who is rich should be $174,000. Why? Because that is the starting pay for a U.S. representative and senator. 3. Ideally, the personal income tax code would be replaced with a three-rate federal sales tax: Full rate for most items purchased. A nominal rate for food and drug items, with the revenue derived to be the only revenue supporting the Food and Drug Administration. No tax on selected items. Right now I don’t know what they would be and selection should be very strict. Note: This tax to replace the current tax code, not be an addition. Surely the many thousands of Internal Revenue Service agents and tax preparers can find something more productive to do than contemplate rule tweaks. In the unlikely event that Mr. Herman Cain reaches the Republican primary election, everyone should think long and hard about his message. 4. When any government body overspends its budget, the members should be required to have their salaries reduced. We elect people to represent us, not to prosper while we suffer.

CUTS

the protesters’ good side. I asked Axelrod by email this week whether he saw a need to keep any distance from a movement that was both critical of the president and, well, a little fringy. “No,” he replied. “I think some of the frustration and outrage they’re expressing are also being expressed much more broadly.... People are angry. And they should be.” Obama won the presidency in 2008 by calling for “change you can believe in.” Now, as 2012 approaches, he’s not likely to grab a sleeping bag and head for a park. But he’s hoping to convince the occupiers — and the much larger number of Americans who share their anger — that a part of him would like to.

gling to recover from cuts in 2009 that forced officials to lay off 120 workers and eliminate 100 vacant positions. Staffing levels there are now lower than in 1987, while district court filings since then have increased 66 percent. Public defenders, whose offices also are absorbing cuts, are taking more clients. “If you don’t have enough lawyers to handle the cases, it leaves them open to speedytrial challenges and ineffective assistance of counsel,” said Ed Burnette, a vice president of the National Legal Aid & Defender Association. Some of the lapses are testing speedy-trial rules, in some cases resulting in dismissals that otherwise are hard to win. In Georgia, trial and appellate courts have dismissed a handful of in-

dictments against suspects accused of violent crimes because they could not be brought to trial fast enough. In one case, a judge tossed out murder charges against two Atlanta men because it took Fulton County prosecutors four years to indict them after they were arrested and charged with a 2005 shooting. Local prosecutors say strained resources were partly to blame for the delay. Legal agencies that represent the poor and depend on government grants also have been hit hard. State funding for the Georgia Resource Center, which represents indigent death penalty defendants in post-conviction proceedings, has fallen by about $250,000 over three years. This year, the center fell short on a $300,000 grant from a foundation, forcing layoffs of a paralegal and an assistant administrator and the reduction to part-time status of a staff attorney. New York and California are among the states that have been

hit hardest by budget cuts. California’s attorney general’s office has considered eliminating units that work with local law enforcement agencies on gang and drug crimes as a way to address a projected $70 million in budget cut over two years. After the San Francisco Superior Court laid off 67 staffers and shuttered courtrooms because of budget cuts, judges warned it could take residents hours just to pay a traffic fine in person. The court would have been forced to make deeper cuts had it not received an emergency $2.5 million loan from the state. New York lawmakers slashed $170 million from the Office of Court Administration’s $2.7 billion budget, forcing layoffs and a hiring freeze. Judges were ordered to halt proceedings at 4:30 p.m. sharp to control overtime pay, and courts also were told to call fewer potential jurors, who cost $40 a day. Defendants in New York are generally supposed to see a judge within 24 hours of their arrest.

THE TIMES LEADER But staff cuts left them waiting an average of about 50 hours over the summer, said Julie Fry, vice president of the Brooklyn division of the union representing Legal Aid lawyers. “People were waiting for two, three and four days at a time. Some are waiting for administrative code violations, like riding bicycles on the sidewalk or sleeping on a subway train,” she said. “This really disrupts people’s lives. Some of these people are on the cusp of being employed, and they can’t afford missing a few days of work.” In Alabama, the state’s top judge rescinded an order issued by his predecessor that would have dramatically reduced the schedules for civil and criminal trials, telling a local newspaper that the cost of additional jury trials was “not that significant.”

www.timesleader.com

The move was aimed at coping with a budget that had dropped nearly $30 million in the last year. “Victims should not become victims of our system,” Judge Chuck Malone said in August. The trial for one high-profile case there was delayed almost a year. An Alabama man accused of killing his wife while on a honeymoon scuba diving trip in Australia was supposed to be in court in May, but his trial is now scheduled for February because of a shortage of bailiffs and other court personnel. Statewide, more than 250 people have been laid off from Alabama’s trial courts. Associated Press writers Paul Elias in San Francisco, Mike Glover in Des Moines, Iowa, and Bob Johnson in Montgomery, Ala., contributed to this story.

Katy Perry performs in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Maintaining media attention is hard for modern-day divas.

It’s tough being a diva these days By JON BREAM Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

herself a spiritual person, she said she was drawn to the projects because they were both strong roles. Shesaidshebelievestherearemore faith-based films these days in part because religious people are eager to invest in them. “This is a relatively new concept that different groups are funding indie films and stepping up and having the courage and the knowledgetosaylet’smakeamovie,”she said. Of course, films about faith have been produced since cinema was in its infancy. Cecil B. DeMille directed numerous religious epics in the silent and sound eras, including1927’s “The King of Kings” and 1932’s “The Sign of the Cross.” The 1950s were a particularly ripe time for epic religious dramas, including DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments,” “Ben Hur” and “Quo Vadis” as well as other titles

Cher never did it. Neither did Beyonce nor Britney. Katy Perry changes outfits eight times during just one song on her current concert tour. That may sound excessive, but what concertgoers see when Perry performs “Hot N Cold” illustrates how hard it is to be a music diva these days. You have to get the attention of the media as often as you can. New hairdo, new Tweet, new drama. Diana Ross, Madonna and Mariah Carey never had it like this. “When Lady Gaga’s record came out and she was doing TV all over the world, I would say it’s five times more than Madonna did,” said publicist-to-the-stars Liz Rosenberg, who has represented Madonna forever and Cher for the past 12 years. “If they’re not saying ‘You’re overexposed,’ then you’re not doing your job.” The attention span of fans in this ADD-like pop world demands something new constantly. The attitude of music lovers can be summed up in a song by another vintage diva: Janet Jackson’s “What Have You Done for Me Lately?” Perry seems to release a new single every five weeks. Jennifer Lopez zoomed up the charts with “On the Floor” in May, then disappeared as soon as “American Idol” went off the air. After three No. 1 up-tempo hits, Rihanna released a so-so ballad, and suddenly Nicki Minaj has replaced her in the hearts of dance-pop fans. “The appetite is insatiable,” Rosenberg said. When Madonna was starting out in the early 1980s, Rosenberg had just a few targets: Rolling Stone, MTV, “Entertainment Tonight,” major newspapers, key radio stations and maybe People magazine. Nowadays, PR involves maintaining a website and Facebook pages, posting regular Tweets, singing on TV — morning shows sell albums, late-night shows add cachet — getting plugs on such sites as Perez Hilton and TMZ, scoring magazine features in the likes of Cosmopolitan and InStyle, and walking the red carpet at endless award shows and movie premieres. Rising R&B star Keri Hilson fondly remembers what it was like to be a fan of Janet Jackson or Whitney Houston and have them disappear between albums. “I loved when you missed an artist and when they re-emerged, you saw changes,” Hilson said. “But now you don’t really recognize the changes because you see them every day.” The only change may be a new look for the next media opportunity. Longtime country queen Reba McEntire, who has scored a No. 1 Nashville song in each of the past four decades, knows the landscape isn’t the same anymore. “It’s unfortunate,” she said. “You need to be on all the time. No matter where you go, you’re (fair) game. If you’re businesssavvy, you’ll look presentable. There’s not a day I walk out of the

The Scranton-based Christian rock band ‘Breakfree,’ favored by fans of its rockabilly style, performs at the River of Life Fellowship Church in Lehman Township, home to the weekly Ekklesia Coffeehouse.

apping her feet and clapping her hands as the “Soul Shine” band sang “My hope is in the Lord,” Peggy Rosenberg, 43, of Kingston was quick to note, “I love their music.” Soon “Soul Shine” relinquished the stage at the Ekklesia Coffeehouse in Lehman Township’s River of Life Fellowship Church, and members of the band “Breakfree” readied their instruments. “They’re very uplifting,” Dawn Redmond, 64, of Dallas said mid-way through the Friday-evening concert. “I find it spiritually refreshing,” Danielle Barbuti, 37, of Scranton added. Rosenberg may favor Soul Shine’s bluegrass sound while Redmond and Barbuti appreciate Breakfree’s rockabilly style, but organizers and musicians on the local Christian coffeehouse circuit say they’re not trying to win fans for themselves as much as hearts for the Lord. “It’s all nonprofit and all for the love of God, and it feels wonderful,” said Sean Kanaskie of Luzerne, who plays acoustic guitar in a gospel rock band called Foggy Mountain Glory.

Hollywood studios embrace star-powered, faith-based films By SUSAN KING Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — In many quarters, Hollywood has long been regarded as an essentially godless place. But judging by the offerings at the movies this season,andmoreintheworks,Tinseltown is rediscovering religion. In the span of just a few weeks starting in late August, audiences looking for God at the multiplex have had their choice of titles, and the onslaught isn’t slowing down. “Courageous,” about policemen wrestling with their faith after a tragedy, opened recently nationwide, and Emilio Estevez’s “The Way,” about a father on a religious pilgrimage, opened in some markets. These films follow the success this spring of “Soul Surfer,” about a Christian teen surfer’s comeback after losing an arm to a shark. Released by Sony’s TriStar division, the film brought in nearly $44 million at the U.S. box office.

Quint Aaron and Sandra Bullock starred in the ’The Blind Side,’ a movie with a strong religious bent.

In many cases, these movies are not filled with unknown actors; they star top performers such as Robert Duvall, Melissa Leo, Helen Hunt, Helen Mirren and Louis Gossett Jr. (all Oscar winners), plus Vera Farmiga, Martin Sheen

and Gerard Butler. Why is Hollywood looking to a higher authority? A confluence of factors, including the economic and social difficulties facing the country, a desire among actors and directors for in-

teresting roles and the success of 2009’s rather religious “The Blind Side,” seems to be at work. “We are doing some serious soulsearching as a nation, trying to decide who we are going to be and whatwearegoingtostandfor,”said Craig Detweiler, director of the Center of Entertainment, Media andCultureatPepperdineUniversity, affiliated with Churches of Christ. “Filmmakers,” he added, “are understanding that spirituality can be a complicated rather than a simplifying aspect of rich drama.

Christian coffeehouses is Steve Perillo of Wilkes-Barre, who books the bands through Making a Difference Ministry, which he co-founded in 2009 with his wife, Gail, after he was laid off from a job as head of security for a local service agency. He’d always had “a passion to play the guitar and sing for the Lord,” and the time seemed right. But, he said, “When you’re doing God’s work, there’s a lot of

stumbling blocks.” One challenge that hit the Perillos hard was Gail’s brain tumor and subsequent surgery last year. She isn’t able to attend many concerts but considers herself a “prayer warrior” behind the scenes. Her husband, when he’s not playing with the duet B.L.E.S.T. at St. Mary’s Church of the Immaculate Conception or the group Step by StepwithShavertownUnitedMethodist Church, mentors and meets with prospective coffeehouse musicians “to make certain we all have the same focus on Christ Jesus.” The nonprofit Making a Difference Ministry collects socks for needychildren,babyitemsformothers in need and non-perishable food for the hungry on an ongoing basis.

They have homework tutoring, parenting classes, GED classes,” he said. “All the money will go directly to her ministry.” The ecumenical outreach seemed to be in keeping with the coffeehouse’s mission. “We want to break down the walls between churches and invite people to join together in fellowship,” Strunk said. Asked if the concerts are a recruiting tool, he said, “We’re not looking for people to flip churches, but if there’s someone who wants to understand Christianity a little bit more, we’re open to them.” The mastermind behind the

house without my makeup on and looking decent. We all want press, but we want good press, too.” Enter what Rosenberg calls the Glam Squad: the team of hairstylist, makeup artist, wardrobe stylist and dresser that’s now part of the retinue of an all-day diva. Madonna never needed this much attention except on days when she was shooting a video — and that was in the privacy of a soundstage. Some, including Dolly Parton, even have assistants who send out Tweets for them. Any way you look at it, “fans expect much more,” Rosenberg said. “They used to just expect a great record and maybe a little press.” Lady Gaga is the master of the media moment. For her, every appearance is a performance — whether it’s arriving at the Grammys red carpet riding in an egg, wearing a dress made of raw meat on the MTV awards or be-

ing interviewed on “60 Minutes.” But visuals aren’t the only way to get attention. Drama has fueled fan interest going back to the advent of movie magazines in the silent-film era. Britney Spears’ continuing episodes — her shaved head, weight issues and battle for the custody of her kids and her finances — have made her one of the most Googled stars. Taylor Swift’s dustup with Kanye West on the MTV awards and her romances with a string of older men, including Jake Gyllenhaal, elevated her from a teen sensation to a household name. Katy Perry hooking up with wild-man comedian Russell Brand certainly generated more juice than, say, Cher cavorting with her “bagel boy.” Drama, though, doesn’t always equate with commercial success. In 2011, success is defined differently from how it was in Madonna’s heyday. Album sales aren’t what they used to be, though being No. 1 on Billboard’s charts is still prestigious. Selling out concert tours still matters. But winning in today’s pop world also includes two new measures — Facebook fans and Twitter followers.

such as “Martin Luther,” “The Nun’s Story” and “The Robe.” In subsequent decades, Hollywood largely lost its appetite (and budgetary nerve) for such films. Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ” was a hit in 2004, but he made it on his own.

Meanwhile, in Hazleton, a local chapter of Catholic Underground hosts coffeehouse concerts on the second Friday of each month at St. Gabriel’s Church on Wyoming Street. “Underground” doesn’t mean the music is in the basement, organizer Paul Walters said. It commemorates the way the future Pope John Paul II studied theology in a Krakow seminary that “went underground” to escape the Nazis who invaded Poland. Local Catholic Underground events typically begin with an hour of Eucharistic devotion, followed by a concert, said Walters, who booked “TheFranciscanFriarsoftheRenewal” for a Nov.11performance. Will the musicians wear their robes? Oh, yes, Walters said. “I think they wear their habits 24/7.”

Atwood essays smartly reflect on science fiction By JIM HIGGINS Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination” by Margaret Atwood; Nan A. Talese/ Doubleday (272 pages, $24.95)

By MARY ANN GWINN The Seattle Times “Ed King” by David Guterson; Knopf, 304 pp., $26.95

he Greek gods ran a pitiless universe. In the pre-Christian world, even the most standout specimen of humanity could get ensnared in the cogs of fate. If you showed even a glint of human hubris, you were asking for it — remember Icarus? Oedipus? David Guterson’s brilliant new novel, “Ed King,” mirrors that world, but it sets the wheels in motion in none other than 1960s Seattle, as it follows the city’s transformationfromasleepy,self-satisfiedcitytoa21stcenturytechpowerhouse.Ambitionanddesire drive the plot (it must be said that there is a whole lot of sex in this book) along with thefundamentalironythattheroadtohellis often paved with good intentions. “Ed King” begins in 1962, the year of the Seattle World’s Fair. Actuary Walter Cousins hires Diane Burroughs, a British exchange student,asanannyafterWalter’swifeishospitalized for a mental breakdown. And what luck — but not the good kind. A born-and-bred con artist, Diane gets pregnant with Walter’s child, extorts lifetime support payments from him, runs away and leaves her babysononaPortlanddoorstep.Shemovesup and on, using high-class prostitution as an entree to marriage to the heir to a Northwest sporting-goods dynasty, which allows her to lavish time and money on slowing the ravages of age. It is downright eerie how ably and gleefullyGutersonhaschanneledDiane,alowerclass Brit without a moral bone in her body but with a genius for finding the weak and sweet spot of her targets. Diane’s abandoned baby is adopted by Dan and Alice

King, a Jewish couple livinginSeattle’s North End, who attend a liberal synagogue and almost certainly walked right out of Guterson’s upbringing (Guterson, author of the best-selling “Snow Falling on Cedars,” was born and raised in Seattle and still lives in the area). Ardently devoted parents,theKingsdecide—forbabyEd’s sake,of course — that it really would be better if they don’t tell their son that he’s adopted. They brush off the bleak warning of Alice’s father, Pop, an oracle of Jewish fatalism: “Pop sneezed into the phone. ‘Excuse me,’ he said. ‘It’s lying, this business. The tooth fairy’s lying, the golem is lying, Santa Claus is lying, all of it lying, but this, Mr. Eddie, not adopted, that’s lying lying, that’s Number Nine of the Ten Commandments lying. Listen Daniel, I’m telling you from my heart, you want more tsuris than you already got? Go ahead — tell this lie!”“ At first, it seems no one will suffer. Ed thrives, and Alice soon gives birth to another son. Both boys are brilliant, avid to excel at just about everything. Ed loves superhero stories: “For Eddie to be playing so powerfully with myth and story at such a young age is, I think, an excellent sign,” writes one of his teachers. Or maybe Ed just likes to play with fire. As he enters his teens, Ed spurns private school, hangs out with the stoners and slackers , and has wild sex with his Goth girlfriend in the back of his 1966 Pontiac GTO in the back alleys and back roads of the state. In a moment of blind rage and youthful hubris, he runs a haplessmiddle-ageguyoffadesertedEastern Washington highway, launching himself on the road to his own fate. “Ed King” is compulsively readable and witheringly funny. Guterson’s narrativevoice—byturnssavage and sad, amused and outraged — becomes a kind of Greek chorus of one.

From the selfreverential blather of Seattle liberals to the gaming industry’s nihilistic love of violence to the winner-take-all world of software and search engines, Guterson skewers it all, as he tracksEd’sascendancytothetopofthetech world as the “King of Search.” He interweaves the story with enough mythologicalreferencestokeepeventhemost ardent classicist entertained. Cybil (Sybil), an automated voice programmed to react to Ed’s every whim, question and demand, is the guide to the underworld in Virgil’s “Aeneid.” Chance and probability play a huge rolein this book, from Walter’s actuarial profession to a tarot-card reader who tells Ed, a randy young Stanfordstudentwithathingforolderwomen: “Get out of here, you arrogant bastard. You’re dangerous to the world and to yourself.” Ed is less finely drawn; it’s not entirely clear what drives him, other than the will to succeed, dominate and get what he wants, whatever the cost. And maybe that’s the point. What have all the technological achievements of Microsoft, Amazon, Apple wrought, when it comes to changing certain fundamental certainties of human nature? Ed believes the sky is the limit: “Superior intelligence will beget superior intelligence, until, in theory, all problems are solved — that’s the promise, the hope, the glory, the Holy Grail, the dream of a messianic age. ... “‘I mean change the world,’ said Ed. “I mean overcome death itself.’” Will Ed cheat death? Will he dodge the bullet of fate? In the world of “Ed King,” what brings the all-powerful “King of Search” to his final reckoning will keep the reader enthralled until the final page of this transcendently dark and dazzling book.

Stimulated by a public exchange of views with Ursula K. LeGuin, Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood has collected her writings and talks on science fiction and its speculative cousins into a smart and often playful book. Atwood (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) and LeGuin (“The Left Hand of Darkness”) situate themselves as writers on opposite sides of the increasingly permeable membrane between SF and literary fiction, so a piece of this book, which will appeal to contentious people who love genredefining arguments, is about what’s sci-fi and what’s not. Atwood, who says she’s not a sci-fi writer, is nonetheless a spirited and sometimes playful reader of it, and this collection peaks when she grapples with the works of George Orwell, H.G. Wells and Aldous Huxley. “The twentieth century could be seen as a race between two versions of man-made Hell — the jackbooted state totalitarianism of Orwell’s ‘Nineteen EightyFour’ and the hedonistic ersatz paradise of ‘Brave New World,’” she writes. Her “Handmaid’s Tale” is deeply indebted to Orwell, down to its concluding historical epilogue. In one of her many smart reflections on Orwell, she writes, “The position of odd man out is always an uneasy one, but the moment we look around and find that there are no longer any odd men among our public voices is the moment of most danger ...” Reflecting on “Handmaid’s Tale,” she writes that her rules for creating that novel were simple: “I would not put into this book anything that humankind had not already done, somewhere, sometime, or for which it did not already have the tools.” In this collection, Atwood also champions several works she believes deserve to be more widely read. In the case of Wells, she turns not to “The War of the Worlds” or “The Time Machine” but to “The Island of Doctor Moreau” (1896), with its vivisectionist trying to create sentient humanoids from animals. She connects this gruesome fable to “The Tempest,” Darwin, Frankenstein, Nathaniel Hawthorne, “The Ancient Mariner” and the emerging feminism of Wells’ time. She also visits H. Rider Haggard’s popular adventure novel “She” (1987), whose title character is the original She-who-mustbe-obeyed, and whom Atwood calls “a supremely transgressive female who challenges male power.” “She” has not only led to a dozen or more films and a swatch of pulp fiction but also fed such literary works as Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” and the fantasy novels of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Atwood also has smart things to say about works by Marge Piercy, Bryher, Kazuo Ishiguro and Jonathan Swift.

Pull of Wellfleet oysters is strong By CHRISTOPHER BORRELLI Chicago Tribune

IF YOU GO

WELLFLEET, Mass. — All roads lead to water. Which means, here on the outer curl of Cape Cod, 70 miles or so into the Atlantic Ocean, where tall marsh greens in autumn turn the color of butterscotch, all roads lead to oysters. Bumper stickers remind you of the oyster fishermen who drive alongside you down U.S. Highway 6. Oysters are painted on the sides of residential homes. Oysters dominate every menu and suck at your heels on the beach. Heading north down the long neck of the Cape, toward Provincetown, you can make two turns at Wellfleet. Turn right, you hit bluffs, set high against the ocean; here, 100 years ago, Guglielmo Marconi built one of the first radio stations, Theodore Roosevelt sent the first trans-Atlantic radio message (to King Edward VII), and one of the first distress signals from the Titanic was intercepted. Wellfleet’s oysters, though, are the village’s legacy, its name a standard chalkboard scribble in upscale restaurants across the globe. So turn left and drive toward the harbor. There are several ways to eat oysters in Wellfleet. The first is at one of the many restaurants shucking them morning and night. The second is the just-concluded Wellfleet Oyster Festival, a bivalve overload that reminds you why the pilgrims who landed here 400 years ago referred to this place as “Billingsgate,” after London’s great seafood market. Which brings us to the third way to eat oysters here: Pluck them from the mud. You have not eaten an oyster until you have eaten an oyster pulled from a tidal pool, its shell releasing a satisfyingly wet pop. But to do this, you need to get a permit ($75 for out-of-towners, at the village shellfishing office), fish on a Sunday or a Thursday (the only days open to nonresidents) and wear shoes with thick soles. Don’t do it the way my girlfriend and I recently did. We had the right shoes, but not the permit or day. You can look, but you’d better not touch. Though how could you not? The moment the tide pulls out, a field of shells is unveiled, standing at attention and clumped together. They’re like grapes at the supermarket. We clomped out into the shallow water of Indian Neck Beach, the old shells of past harvests crunching beneath our feet. We pocketed a few and headed for the B&B, then — and here

is the wrong way to eat an oyster — cracked them open with a wrench we found. We looked like cavemen beating back a reptile. We had nothing better and were too ashamed of our theft, petty as it was, to ask the owners of Aunt Sukie’s Bed & Breakfast for a blunt, rounded clam knife. Incidentally, there is no Sukie. Just a retired couple named Sue and Dan Hamar, whose idyllic, 181-year-old home is a magazine-pretty, weather-beaten example of traditional New England living (accented with a large, 18-year-old addition). It overlooks Wellfleet Harbor, and in lieu of backyard offers something better: A wooden plank that runs across marsh and stream, over the tops of crabs in the crevices, leading to beach, across from Indian Neck. We stayed here before Labor Day, just after Hurricane Irene (downgraded to a tropical storm) sat lazily atop the Northeast like the last guest on your couch at a party. At sunrise, the tide pulled out and the beach behind Aunt Sukie magically went from several feet wide to several dozen feet; pickup trucks and fishermen promptly pushed in, leaving thick, deep tracks through the mud. The storm had tossed their clams around, tearing them out of their beds — which are often helped along by contraptions resembling bed frames. The oysters cling to these, have sex, then multiply. Fishermen set about raking together what the hurri-

cane left. We set about eating them at various local stops. First, there was Bookstore & Restaurant, a used-book store attached to a 48-year-old restaurant whose owners maintain their own oyster beds (directly across the street from the dining room). Their cocktail sauce was the finest we had and a rarity, spicy without killing the clam; their oyster po’ boy, however, was a losing proposition — tasty, but a reminder that oysters this fresh shouldn’t be fried. At Mac’s Seafood, right on the beach, across from fishing boats still unloading their afternoon catch, we ate a dozen oysters from a paper plate, the liquor on the clams (which is what you call the seawater pooling on top) running over our chins. The trouble with eating oysters in the cradle of oysters, however, is you lose perspective. Merely spectacular clams no longer impress, so here’s what I suggest: Hit The Wicked Oyster, early, and plead, as we did, for shucked oysters before noon, when the catch smells of the Atlantic. Our waitress hesitated. Then she brought out a plate rich with brine. These clams were sweet, meaty, so unlike the

gummy taste people associate with even great oysters that, tired as this sounds, I felt as though I never had an oyster before. “Please,” she said, “don’t tell anyone. We don’t like to do this so early.” We nodded, agreed, we’d never tell anyone. Though to keep it a secret would be a crime. An oyster fisherman rakes for clams at dawn in Wellfleet, Mass.
