months if “an occupant or

WILKES-BARRE — Two
children were injured in a
shooting Saturday afternoon
at Sherman Hills Apartments.
Law enforcement officials
confirmed that the victims
were children, but would not
speculate on details of the case
while the investigation contin-
ues, said Mayor Tom Leighton
in a written statement.
Wilkes-Barre police
responded to a report of a
shooter in the complex around
2 p.m. They cordoned off the
area around building 304
and focused the investigation
around it.
Area resident Jude Kotch
said he was nearby when he
heard the shots. He immedi-
ately went toward the sound.
It took him about 60 seconds
to reach the scene, where he
saw two young girls lying in
the grass. The were covered in
blood, he said.
Police were already on the
scene. Kotch surmised they
had been in the area for some-
thing unrelated. He helped the
officers carry the girls near the
road, he said, where they met
medical personnel. The girls
were still breathing when med-
ics put them into the ambu-
lance, Kotch said.
Soon after, Luzerne County
911 dispatchers issued an
all-points bulletin describing
a maroon-colored minivan
and said the vehicle might be
connected to the shooting.
The dispatch indicated three
black males considered armed
and dangerous were in the
van. City police overtook the
suspect van near Mayflower
Crossings apartments along
South Empire Street. Two
women and three men were
taken in handcuffs to police
headquarters around 5:30 p.m.
Police would not confirm if
charges were filed..
Leighton issued a state-
ment in the afternoon: “I

WASHINGTON — Tens of thou-
sands of people from across the
nation gathered at the National

50th anniversary of the March on
Washington and to rally for what
they believe is the unfinished busi-

WILKES-BARRE — Among
the throng of volunteers in
hair nets and food-prep gloves,
a few towering Dallas High
School football players stood
out Saturday morning as they
prepared meals for kids in need.
Their hoots and hollers
sounded like what happens
after breaking a huddle in the
fourth quarter.
But athletes, working with
more than 150 other volunteers
at Salvation Army headquar-
ters on Pennsylvania Avenue,
weren’t chasing a pigskin,
they were filling pouches of
uncooked macaroni and cheese.
Cheers erupted as volunteers
hit landmark counts in their
food preparation.

NYC to Trump:‘You’re sued’

MICHAEL GORMLEY
Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — New
York’s attorney general
sued Donald Trump for
$40 million Saturday, say-
ing the real estate mogul
helped run a phony “Trump
University” that promised
to make students rich but
instead steered them into
expensive and mostly use-
less seminars, and even
failed to deliver promised
apprenticeships.
Attorney General Eric
Schneiderman says many of
the 5,000 students who paid
up to $35,000 thought they
would at least meet Trump
but instead all they got was
their picture taken in front
of a life-size picture of “The
Apprentice” TV star.

Thelma Eck, 86, of San
Diego, Calif., and a former
resident of Sweet Valley,
entered into eternal rest on
Aug. 20, 2013, surrounded by
her son, Philip, his wife, Elsa,
and her brother, Albert.
Thelma was born Sept. 7,
1927, in Oregon, a daughter
of the late Victor and Sigrid
Johansen.
She was a loving mother,
grandmother and great-
grandmother. She moved
from Sweet Valley to Seattle,
Wash., to care for her mother
and brother, before moving
to San Diego to live with her
son.
NANCY RANDALL GWILLIAM
Aug. 22, 2013
Nancy Randall Gwilliam,
85, of Harveys Lake, passed
away peacefully Thursday eve-
ning at her home with her fam-
ily by her side.
Born in Geisinger Hospital,
Danville, she was the daugh-
ter of the late Harradon and
Rose (Martz) Randall. Nancy
was a graduate of Wyoming
Seminary, Kingston, class
of 1945, and Pinemanor Jr.
College, Wellesley, Mass.,
class of 1947. She was
employed by the Luzerne
County Domestic Relations
Office for 21 years, starting
as a support officer and sub-
sequently becoming deputy
director before retiring in
1998. She was a sustain-
ing member of the Junior
League of Wilkes-Barre and
volunteered for 20 years at
the Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital, as a Pink Lady.
She was preceded in death
by her husband, George E.
Gwilliam, in 1985; sister, Jane
Jones; and brother, David
Randall.
Surviving are her children,
sumers’ advancement
through costly programs
and caused real financial
harm,” Schneiderman said.
“Trump University, with
Donald Trump’s knowledge
and participation, relied on
Trump’s name recognition
and celebrity status to take
advantage of consumers
who believed in the Trump
brand.”
A spokeswoman for
Trump did not immedi-
ately return a request
for comment Saturday.
The lawsuit says many
of the wannabe moguls
were unable to land even
one real estate deal and
were left far worse off
than before the lessons,
facing thousands of dol-
lars in debt for the semi-
nar program once billed
as a top quality univer-
sity with Trump’s “hand-
picked” instructors.
In addition to her parents,
Thelma was preceded in
death by her brother, Harold
Johansen; and granddaughter,
Lori Young.
Surviving are sons, Earl and
his wife, Barbara, of Pringle,
Lee and his wife, Lillian, of
Berwick, Philip and his wife,
Elsa, of San Diego; her grand-
children, Christopher Eck,
Shawn Eck, Matthew Eck,
Amy Uter and Lisa Eck; 16
great-grandchildren; and one
great-great-grandchild.
Interment will be in

While students in all but
three Luzerne County school
districts will head back to class
this week, the school reunion
at Wyoming Area is set to be
a short one, with a teachers
strike scheduled for Sept. 3,
three days after the start of
school Aug. 28.
That’s the only strike offi-
cially set, but the risk of simi-
lar action looms over four
other districts where teacher
contracts are being negoti-
ated: Greater Nanticoke Area,
Hanover Area, Hazleton Area
and Wilkes-Barre Area.
Two education entities that
are run jointly by multiple dis-
tricts also have teacher con-
tracts under negotiation:
Wilkes-Barre Area Career and
Technology Center, which
serves five districts, and the
Luzerne Intermediate Unit,
which provides various servic-
es, primarily special education.
Wyoming Area teachers
announced the September
strike in July, hoping nearly
two-months notice would help
create a break in what they
contend have been stalled
negotiations that began at the
start of 2010. The teachers
contract expired August of
that year.
But at a school board meet-
ing Tuesday both sides spelled
out sticking points that have
prevented a settlement. Unless
one is reached this week, the
strike will start the day after
Labor Day.
The holiday, once the iron-
clad signal to the end of sum-
mer vacation for students,
has long lost that luster. It’s
far more common locally for
districts to begin the school
year up to a week before Labor
Day, in part because early
starts help in timing lessons
to peak when high-stakes state
standardized tests are admin-
istered in the spring.
Four area districts begin
school Monday: Crestwood,
Lake-Lehman, Northwest
Area and Wyoming Valley
West. Dallas opens the doors
Tuesday, while three start
classes Wednesday: Pittston
Area, Wilkes-Barre Area and
Wyoming Area.
Of the three districts start-
ing classes after Labor Day,
Greater Nanticoke Area set
the first day of classes for
Sept. 4, while Hanover Area
and Hazleton Area will start
the next day, Sept. 5.
Lawyer
ordered
Hazleton’s late start is due
in part to the district’s new
“Hazleton Area Academy of
Science,” the region’s first
“STEM” high school, short
for Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math. The
school’s mission is to focus
on those fields. The academy
was launched in limited form
in ninth and tenth grades in
existing schools, but will move
into its own building this year
in the CAN-DO Corporate
Center in Butler Township.
The building is still “a con-
struction site,” Superintendent
Francis Antonelli said, but
work is expected to be done in
time for the Sept. 5 opening.

ROGER DUPUIS
rdupuis@civitasmedia.com
PLYMOUTH — Mickie Goodrich
didn’t know Fred John Kleman Jr.
But like the 42-year-old man who
died after an apparent road-rage inci-
dent earlier this month, Goodrich has
been known to yell at motorists who
speed in her borough neighborhood.
“I yell at people every single day,
driving down my street like mani-
acs,” said Goodrich, who trekked
from Eno Street to Nottingham Street
on Saturday night to participate in a
candlelight vigil for Kleman, who sus-
tained fatal injuries after being struck
by a car on Aug. 14.
Lorenzo Burgos Jr., 21, of 469 Third
St., was arrested and charged with
homicide by vehicle, involuntary man-
slaughter, reckless endangerment of
another person, reckless driving and
careless driving causing unintentional
death.
He allegedly plowed a white Toyota
into Kleman as he stood talking with
friends in the 100 block of Nottingham
Street.
Police say Burgos admitted return-
ing to the scene in anger after Kleman,
apparently concerned for children
playing in the area, had slapped the
passing car and yelled at Burgos to
slow down as he drove uphill minutes
earlier.
Burgos claims that he never intend-
ed to run over Kleman but lost control
of the car, according to police.
Goodrich and her daughter joined
at least two dozen people holding can-
dles, many wearing red T-shirts read-
ing “Fred said slow down,” a tribute to
Kleman’s final act.
The message also has been spray-
painted in bright orange letters on
the street near the spot where Burgos
allegedly drove uphill before the inci-
dent.
On the other side of the street,
where Kleman was struck, there is a
small plastic bouquet and more orange
letters: “R.I.P. Dad 8/14/13.”
“He’d do anything for anyone,”
Zachary Kleman, 21, said of his father.
That view was shared by Kleman’s
longtime girlfriend, Cathy Huk, 55,
who remembered her partner in life
and business, a capable handyman she
fondly recalled as “MacGyver,” in ref-
erence to the 1980s TV action show
about a multitalented secret agent.
“That was my pet name for him,”
Huk said.
Burgos, meanwhile, remains in the
Luzerne County Correctional Facility
in lieu of $1 million bail.
Huk and those who gathered out-
side her Nottingham Street home,
steps from where Kleman was struck,
expressed outrage that Burgos isn’t
facing more serious charges.
But since talking with The Times
Leader two days after Kleman’s death,
Huk said, she has since been contacted
by state police for the first time since
the incident.
“They talked to me. They said it
could take time,” she said with a sigh,
referring to the ongoing investigation
into Burgos’ alleged actions.
She reiterated her vow to be present
when Burgos appears in court, if pos-
sible.
Goodrich, meanwhile, said Kleman’s
death only makes her more angry
about speeding drivers, but more cau-
tious in how she approaches them.
“Now I stay on the porch, with a
baseball bat,” she said.
On Thursday,
Pike asked county
Judge Lesa Gelb
to reassign a
public defender
to the case of
Samuel Reyes, cit-
ing it has become
increasingly com- Pike
mon for conflict
counsel attorneys to be assigned
to cases because of the personality
difference.
Typically, a case might be
assigned to a conflict counsel attor-
ney when a public defender has
either represented a co-defendant
or a witness in the case, or another
similar conflict.
Pike said of the 60 conflict coun-
sel cases he is currently handling,
at least five qualify under the per-
sonality difference argument, and
that it seemed to be an increasing
trend.
Chief Public Defender Steven
Greenwald argued Gelb already
had made her decision in Reyes’
case; she removed public defender
John Sobota from the case in July
and assigned Pike to represent
Reyes, 36, of York, who faces five
charges in connection with a May
2012 incident in Wilkes-Barre in
which police say Reyes illegally
possessed a gun.
Greenwald argued that state law

Airspace concerns
for Super Bowl
While one burning question looms
over the run-up to Super Bowl — Will

is being focused behind the scenes on
how to safely and efficiently move tens
of thousands of people in and around
MetLife Stadium.
Over it, too.
MetLife Stadium sits within a few miles
of Teterboro Airport to the north and sev-
eral miles from Newark Liberty Airport
to the south. Those are two of the four
hubs that help make the New York-New
Jersey metro area the most congested air-
space in the country. At certain times of
the day, planes serving both Newark and
Teterboro fly over the stadium complex
every few minutes.
That won’t be the case during the game,
however, when the Federal Aviation
Administration will create a temporary
flight restriction over MetLife Stadium.

Wildfire
threatens
Yosemite
sequoias
Evacuations are ordered
as blaze puts thousands
of residents in jeopardy
The Associated Press
GROVELAND, Calif. — As a
wildfire rages along the remote
northwest edge of Yosemite
National Park, officials cleared
brush and set sprinklers to protect
two groves of giant sequoias.
The iconic trees can resist fire,
but dry conditions and heavy
brush are forcing park officials
to take extra precautions in the
Tuolumne and Merced groves.
About three dozen of the giant
trees are affected.
“All of the plants and trees
in Yosemite are important, but
the giant sequoias are incredibly
important both for what they are
and as symbols of the National
Park System,” said spokesman
Scott Gediman.
The trees grow naturally only
on the western slopes of the Sierra
Nevada and are among the largest
and oldest living things on Earth.
The Tuolumne and Merced
groves in are in the north end of
the park near Crane Flat. While
the Rim Fire is still some distance
away, park employees and trail
crews are not taking any chances.
“We’re not looking at them as
any kind of immediate threat,
but we’re taking precautions,”
Gediman said.
More than 5,500 homes
are threatened and four were
destroyed. Voluntary and man-
datory evacuations have been
ordered.
The fire has been burning for a
week. The cause is under investi-
gation.
The fire held steady overnight
at nearly 200 square miles along
the park’s northern border, but
a spokesman for the California
Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection says firefighters didn’t
get their usual reprieve from cool-
er early morning temperatures
Saturday.
“This morning we are starting
to see fire activity pick up earlier
than it has the last several days,”
said Cal Fire spokesman Daniel
Berlant. “Typically, it doesn’t real-
ly heat up until early afternoon.
We could continue to see this fire
burn very rapidly today.”
The Rim Fire started in a
remote canyon of the Stanislaus
National Forest a week ago and is
just 5 percent contained.
The fire has grown so large and
is burning dry timber and brush
with such ferocity that it has cre-
ated its own weather pattern, mak-
ing it difficult to predict in which
direction it will move.
The tourist mecca of Yosemite
Valley, the part of the park known
for such sights as the Half Dome
and El Capitan rock formations
and waterfalls, remained open,
clear of smoke and free from other
signs of the fire.

More armed security at schools after Newtown
Some districts are allowing teachers to carry concealed weapons
CHRISTINE ARMARIO
Associated Press
MIAMI — In the Fort
Lauderdale suburb of
Pembroke Pines, students
returning to school this
year are being greeted
not only by their teachers
and principal. They’re also
meeting the armed school
resource officer who will
be stationed permanently
on campus.
Crime in this middle-
class community has been
on a steady decline, but
city officials decided to
place a school police offi-
cer at every elementary,
middle and high school
after a gunman killed 20
children and six adults at
Sandy Hook Elementary in
Newtown, Conn., last year.
“It is a relief to have
them here,” Lakeside
Elementary School
Principal Linda Pazos said
Monday, the first day of
school.
In the aftermath of the
massacre at Sandy Hook,
many districts across the
nation are increasing the
number of school resource
officers on campus and,
in a few cases, permitting
teachers to carry concealed
weapons themselves.
An armed security
presence is now standard
in many of the nation’s
middle and high schools,
but it has been rarity at
elementary schools. Few
districts can afford to place
a school resource officer at
every elementary school,
because there are so many
and they tend to have
fewer incidents requiring a
police response than mid-
dle and high schools.
Lawmakers in every
state in the nation intro-
duced school safety legisla-
tion this year, and in at least
20 states those proposals
became law, according to
the National Conference of
State Legislatures.
The new laws range
from one authorizing a vol-
unteer, emergency security
force at schools in Franklin
County, Ala., to one allow-
ing Missouri state employ-
ees to keep firearms in a
vehicle on state property,
if the car is locked and the
weapon is approved by
authorities and not visible.
Bernard James, a profes-
sor of constitutional law
at Pepperdine University
in Malibu, Calif., said one
clear trend among legis-
lation introduced since
Newtown has been assess-
ing the security of elemen-
tary school campuses.
Past efforts to prevent
Cops: Pa.woman
ran over sister
The Associated Press
BENSALEM — A
woman accused of run-
ning over her younger sis-
ter after a disagreement
over a trip to the mall has
been charged with aggra-
vated assault, police said.
Redah Raza, 20, was
critically injured after
a van driven by her
24-year-old sister, Anum,
drove over her Thursday
at the family’s home in
Bensalem, authorities
said.
Redah had wanted
a ride to the mall, but
Anum Raza refused to
take her because she had
to go to work, according
to court documents. As
Anum Raza backed out
of the driveway, Redah
stood in front of the vehi-
cle to try to stop her, The
Bucks County Courier-
Times reported.
Anum Raza said she
“inched” forward to get
her sister to move out of
the way, but Raza jumped
on the hood of the van,
police said. Anum Raza

Fla., walks the hallways of the school where she has been permanently stationed.
school violence had not
focused on elementary
schools, James said, “and
that lack of dedicating
resources is what was
under examination.”
There are more than
67,000 elementary schools
nationwide, more than
twice the number of mid-
dle and high schools com-
bined.
Sandy Hook Elementary
had all the standard safe-
guards and more, includ-
ing a locked, video-mon-
itored front door. It did
not have a school resource
officer. Instead, like most
districts, there were police
officers at nearby middle
and high schools.
There are many advan-
tages to having an offi-
cer stationed at school:
Students who see or hear
something suspicious
immediately know who to
tell; the mere presence of
an officer can deter would-
be attackers; and if a gun-
man does attack, a school
resource officer is already
there to respond, saving
critical minutes between
a 911 call and dispatchers
mobilizing police.
“That first, immediate
shot, chances are nobody
is going to be able to stop,”
Kevin Quinn, president of
the National Association of
School Resource Officers,
said. “The difference is
going to be responding to
it.”
Quinn said his group has
trained twice as many new
officers as last year, more
than 90 since January.
While some question the
need for an armed pres-
ence on campus, arming
teachers and others when
a school resource officer
can’t be hired is even more
then accelerated to about
30 mph before she braked
about five or six houses
away, and her sister fell
off the hood, police said.
Anum Raza then tried
to park to check on her
sister but instead stepped
on the gas and drove over
her, police said.
At her arraignment
Thursday, Anum Raza
cried uncontrollably, the
paper reports.
“I don’t want to go to
jail. I’m begging you. I
want to see my sister.
My parents live with us
in the same house, along
with my husband and my
5-month-old son,” Raza
said.
In addition to aggra-
vated assault, Anum Raza
is also charged with reck-
lessly endangering anoth-
er person.
She was released on
$250,000 bail Friday
morning, with the con-
dition that she has no
contact with her sister.
Anum Raza has no previ-
ous criminal record.

Study bursts theory on what gives soda its‘pop’

MELISSA PANDIKA
Los Angeles Times
What gives carbonated
drinks their zesty bite?
Bubbles might be your
first guess — but you’d be
wrong.
In fact, bubbles aren’t
needed to experience the
burning sensation, but they
do enhance it, according to
a study published this past
week in the journal PLOS
One. The secret behind
soda’s sharp taste is the acid
that forms on your tongue
when you take a sip.
Carbonated beverages
are produced by dissolving
carbon dioxide in liquid,
typically under high pres-
sure. Popping open a can or
bottle of the liquid reduces
that pressure, releasing the
carbon dioxide in the form
of bubbles. Enzymes in the
mouth convert the carbon
dioxide into carbonic acid.
The acid stimulates nerve
endings, activating pain
mechanisms that cause a
mild irritation, or “bite.”
The earliest clues that
carbonic acid, not bubbles,
were responsible for this
sensation came from moun-
taineers’ accounts of the
“champagne blues.” After
pouring a bottle of celebra-
tory champagne at the sum-
mit, mountaineers who had
taken medication for alti-
tude sickness disappoint-
edly remarked on the drink’s
flat taste — despite its fizzi-
ness. It turns out the medi-
cation blocked the enzyme
that converts carbon diox-
ide into carbonic acid.
Still, popular belief con-
tinued to hold that the bub-
bles were primarily respon-
sible. To settle the debate,
scientists at the Monell
Chemical Senses Center in
Philadelphia took advantage
of the inability of bubbles to
form above a certain pres-
sure level.
The researchers seated
12 healthy adults in a pres-
surized chamber and asked
them to rate the bite intensi-
ty of carbonated water once
while under normal pres-
sure — at which bubbles
could still form — and a sec-
ond time at higher pressure
that made bubble formation
impossible. There was no
difference in the bite ratings
tion of carbonation bite,”
the researchers wrote.
But the bubbles may have
still influenced that percep-
tion. Earlier studies have
shown that light touch can
soothe pain, so the research-
ers expected the bubbles to
suppress the sting of car-
bonation.
To test this hypothesis,
they asked 11 adults to rate
the bite intensity of carbon-
ated water when a filter
pumped bubbles just below
their tongues and again
when another filter pumped
the bubbles from further
away.
To the scientists’ surprise,
the volunteers rated the bite
as stronger when the bub-

“Clearly, the bubbles are that bubbles enhance the
not required for the percep- bite of carbonated drinks.

Minto initially assumed
her brother had some sort

not so sure and wonders
whether he might have
been the victim of foul play.
Police have said he may
have hitched a ride from
someone to a remote area
to hike or climb.
Minto said she’s think-
ing about hiring a pri-

exhaust every possible

are being held to pay for
additional search-and-res-

But she knows the odds
grow longer each day her
brother remains missing.
“We kind of have realis-

said. “We may never get
answers as to the how and
the what. But we will settle
for anything we can get to
just bring him home and
get some closure on it.”

Churches revise bylaws,brace for gay marriage lawsuit

Critics argue that the changes amount
to a solution looking for a problem
TRAVIS LOLLER
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
— Worried they could be
sued by gay couples, some
churches are changing their
bylaws to reflect their view
that the Bible allows only
marriage between one man
and one woman.
Although there have been
lawsuits against wedding
industry businesses that
refuse to serve gay couples,
attorneys promoting the
bylaw changes say they
don’t know of any lawsuits
against churches.
Critics say the changes
are unnecessary, but some
churches fear that it’s only a
matter of time before one of
them is sued.
“I thought marriage was
always between one man
and one woman, but the
Supreme Court in a 5-4 deci-
sion said no,” said Gregory
S. Erwin, an attorney for
the Louisiana Baptist
Convention, an association
of Southern Baptist church-
es and one of several groups
advising churches to change
their bylaws. “I think it’s
better to be prepared
because the law is changing.
America is changing.”
In a June decision, the
U.S. Supreme Court struck
down a provision of the fed-
eral Defense of Marriage
Act that defined marriage
as between a man and a
woman for purposes of
federal law. A second deci-
sion was more technical but
essentially ushered in legal

DR. DORIS GORKA BARTUSKA
Doris Gorka Bartuska, of East
Falls, eminent Pennsylvania
physician and famously “39 and
holding,” died Sunday, Aug.
4, 2013, at the Hospital of the
University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Bartuska was born and
raised in Nanticoke, the first
child of E. Edward and Sophie
Gorka. She had a traditional
childhood of the time, being
raised in a Catholic and a Polish
community, but at an early age
showed an interest in music
and took to the piano and organ
quickly.
This daughter of a small-
town grocer and his wife uncon-
ventionally took to the field of
biology as an undergraduate at
Bucknell Junior College, now
Wilkes University. One teacher,
Dr. Charles Reif, had a pro-
found effect on her career path,
encouraging her to look to med-
icine as a career even though it
was not a path most women
sought. With that mentoring,
a remarkable future developed.
During this time, she met
her future husband, Anthony
J. Bartuska. While they grew
up only four blocks apart in
Nanticoke and went to the
same high school, they were
in different circles. It was dur-
ing a Christmas vacation while
they were both home from
college, Doris from Bucknell
and Tony from the U.S. Naval
Academy, that Tony called to
see if she would go see a movie.
She reflected that he was a
gentleman and very attentive
during that date; in her words,
it was “a match ready to hap-
pen,” which quickly turned to
a romance that lasted until his
death in 2002.
After their marriage in 1951,
they moved to Philadelphia and
the Women’s Medical College
of Pennsylvania, formerly the
Female Medical College of
Pennsylvania, which opened in
1850, for Doris to pursue her
career in medicine. While she
had early counseling to pursue
a specialty in surgery due to
her long, slender fingers and
delicate touch, she decided to
choose endocrinology, which
she felt would give her more
time to raise a family.
And she did raise a family
— six children, all daughters,
beginning with the first child
between her third and fourth
years of medical school, fol-
lowed by three children during
her internship then residency,
moving into a practice by 1958.
Several children went into sci-
entific fields, and one even
became a family practice physi-
cian.
Dr. Doris often reflected on
her career path and significant
events during a time when
being a female physician was
uncommon. She loved medicine
and everything about it; teach-
ing was her passion whether
it was teaching students, her
patients or even her colleagues.
We have memories of drop-
ping her off at the college
on Sundays after Mass when
she had rounds to do before
she would walk home to have
Sunday brunch with her fam-
ily. She thoroughly enjoyed
the camaraderie she had with
the other attendings, fellows
and residents, especially in
the endocrinology field. Her
fellows would come over to
dinner frequently as well; her
involvement in life at the col-
lege included her family.
Not surprising, all her chil-
dren have a keen interest in
health and wellness. Women’s
Medical College was a true nur-

turing environment for women
who went into the practice
of medicine and it gave her a
solid foundation from which to
launch a career and maintain
an active practice throughout
her life.
If she found specific impedi-
ments, she did not talk about
them but plowed ahead. As one
daughter reflected, she often
said, “Life is a cafeteria, you
have to help yourself.”
She had a passion for song
and dance, and SKIT night was
one of her favorite traditions at
the college. We all took part in
helping her get ready with her
lyrics and dancing. She was
known for her “I’m Unique”
routine, sung to the tune of
“Shall We Dance” from “The
King and I.”
She always said she could
not have done all she did with-
out the help and support of her
husband, Tony. He encouraged
her to pursue fellowships and
special training that would
increase her competency, even
as he took charge of the house-
hold duties. Sometimes these
were turned into adventures, as
when the entire family moved
to Bar Harbor, Maine, for the
weeks that she did continuing
education at Jackson Labs.
She also appreciated all the
support of numerous men-
tors who themselves were
leaders in medicine, with
specific acknowledgement of
Dr. Marion Fay and Dr. June
Klinghoffer, as well as her
many peers who offered mutual
support and encouragement.
Dr. Bartuska was an incred-
ible diagnostician, taking pride
in identifying the root cause of
symptoms that escaped identi-
fication by others. One of her
favorite stories was about being
on the phone with a patient
and, upon hearing coughing in
the background, diagnosed the
patient’s daughter with whoop-
ing cough, getting her to the
hospital for treatment.
She liked to paraphrase a
quote from Goethe – “We see
what we know” – and so she
always tried to increase her
knowing. The stack of medical
journals on her kitchen table,
even as she left for the hospi-
tal, was as indication of her
constant search for knowledge.
Dr. Bartuska was emeri-
tus professor of medicine
(endocrinology) at Drexel
University School of Medicine,
formerly the Medical College
of Pennsylvania/Hahnemann
University. She was the direc-
tor of the division of endocri-
nology, diabetes and aetabo-
lism and the fellowship training
program at the Medical College
of Pennsylvania.
She was known in academia
as a consultant in endocrine
and rare metabolic disorders.
In more recent years, she fre-
quently spoke to professional
and non-professional groups on
the endocrinology of aging, and
was a passionate advocate for
the need to increase research
in the medicine of aging.

She graduated from Bucknell
Junior College, now Wilkes
University, and obtained
her M.D. degree from the
Woman’s Medical College of
Pennsylvania (WMC), now
Drexel University College
of Medicine. She was assis-
tant and associate dean of
medicine at WMC, as well as
associate dean for the curricu-
lum at the Medical College of
Pennsylvania.
She served as president of
the American Medical Women’s
Association in 1988, as well
as president of Philadelphia
County Medical Society and
the Philadelphia Endocrine
Society. Her involvement
in medical humanities and
medical ethics led to par-
ticipation in the President’s
Forum on Physicians and
Social Responsibility. Until
recently, she served as delegate
to the Pennsylvania Medical
Society and the Committee
to Nominate Delegates to the
American Medical Association.
Her ability was recognized
by numerous awards, includ-
ing the Strittmatter Award,
presented by the Philadelphia
County Medical Society, the
Alpha Omega Honor Medical
Society and the Lindback
Distinguished Teaching
Award, and she was named
an Outstanding Educator of
America and a Distinguished
Daughter of Pennsylvania. She
received the Shaffrey Award
from St. Joseph’s University,
an honorary Doctor of Science
from Wilkes University and the
Alumni Achievement Award
from Bucknell University.
For all her accomplishments,
there was another side to
Doris. She was known for her
daily walks around East Falls
and was always seen wearing
one of her favorite hats. She
was proud of her Polish heri-
tage and enjoyed Polish music
and dance, especially the ober-
ek.
She was an accomplished
musician, having studied piano,
organ and coloratura voice, still
taking pride in reaching the
high Cs. Upon the death of her
husband, Tony, 10 years ago,
she rediscovered tap dancing
and took regular classes at the
Philadelphia Senior Center on
Broad Street. She was always
excited to learn new steps and
to perform them with her team.
She continued her
involvement with both the
Pennsylvania Medical Society
and the Philadelphia County
Medical Society, regularly
attending their annual meet-
ings. Dr. Bartuska also took
great interest in the evolu-
tion of the Medical College of
Pennsylvania and its East Falls
Campus to what is now the
Drexel University College of
Medicine.
She took great pleasure
in her grandchildren, having
them join her, for 20 years, dur-
ing her annual Pennsylvania
Medical Society meetings in
Hershey. She was known for
bringing them downtown on
the bus, and, after a morning of
shopping, would treat them to
some of the finer restaurants in
the center of the city for lunch.
She greeted her first great-
grandchild, Logan, with great
enthusiasm.
As we say goodbye to her,
she would appreciate an invo-
cation of one of her favorite
shows, “The Lawrence Welk
Show,” with it’s closing —
“Keep a song in your heart …
good night.”

Shooting
From page 1A
angered that such young
lives now hang in jeopardy
because of the hand of a
gunman. We do not yet
know the full circumstances
of what led to this tragedy
today but we will get to the
bottom of this.”
One resident of the build-
ing who asked not to be
identified said he’s heard
gunshots at night during
the past few days. He heard
shots Saturday afternoon
and walked outside to see
the two children lying on the
ground.
A Sherman Hills manager
was on the scene, but she
was not available to com-
ment.
Kotch said gunfire is
commonplace in Sherman
Hills. He volunteers at the
Wyoming Valley Rescue
Mission, which is next door
to building 304, and said
on July 30 a bullet passed
through two walls before
stopping in a third. No one
was injured, Kotch said.
State police, city police
and the Luzerne County
District Attorney’s Office
are collaborating on the
investigation, Leighton said.
“Those who committed
this heinous and despicable
act will be brought to jus-
tice,” he said. “No parent
should ever face a day such Wilkes-Barre police and detectives investigate the site of a daylight shooting Saturday as residents
as this. The escalating vio- peer out their windows at Sherman Hills Apartments.
lence in our neighborhoods
must end. I will use every
power of my office to stop
this senseless cycle of vio-
lence.”
“(Law enforcement) will
continue to aggressively
pursue the people responsi-
ble for (Saturday’s) crime,”
his statement said. “I thank
them for their continued
efforts. All of our thoughts
and prayers remain with the
families of the victims. We
hope and pray that these
children will survive.”
Minimum wage
From page 1A
“It’s been $7.25 a few
years now. Everything’s
harder,” he said, adding
that working for the cur-
rent minimum wage is
“almost like slave labor.”
The last voluntary
increase of the minimum
wage in Pennsylvania
came in 2007, when the
rate was increased to
$7.15 per hour. Two years
later, the rate increased to
$7.25 to be in compliance
with the federal mini-
mum wage that went into
effect.
Individual states are
free to set a higher rate.
The highest rate is found
in Washington state, at
$9.19 per hour. But offi-
cials in the state’s largest
city, Seattle, are consider-
ing an increase to $15 per
hour in that city.
Annual adjustments
Quagliariello thinks the
minimum wage should
be tied to the inflation
rate or Consumer Price
Index, which is what

From page 1A
That’s why some land-
lords want to know
whether the law will be
applied to large complex-
es, such as the troubled
Sherman Hills properties
off Coal Street, while oth-
ers question what effect
the shutdown of multiple
properties could have on
the livelihoods of land-
lords and the city’s econ-
omy.
Still others have asked
how and why an ordi-
nance that was intro-
duced earlier this month
so swiftly proceeded
through two readings —
the changes take effect
Sept. 1 — and whether
the amendment was sub-
ject to enough public and
legal scrutiny.
The changes were unan-
imously approved during
a special council session
on Thursday night, which
lasted less than an hour
and at which only three

State Sen. Christine
Tartaglione introduced
a bill that would require
the minimum wage to be
increased by a percent-
age tied to the Consumer
Price Index beginning
this year. Another bill she
proposed would do the
same, but beginning in
2016. That bill also would
increase the minimum
wage to $9 an hour over a
three-year period preced-
ing the beginning of the
cost-of-living adjustment.
Shaun Butler, a 30-year-
old from Wilkes-Barre
who peddles coffee
and pastries at Dunkin
Donuts on Public Square
in Wilkes-Barre, said pas-
sage of such a bill would
have “a dramatic impact”
on his life.

city officials on Friday
seeking more information
about the ordinance and
how it will be enforced.

“Try showing me some-
where you can make $7.25
an hour and pay your bills
and rent,” said Butler.
“It’s a constant struggle.”
Butler and Quagliariello
disagree with opponents
of raising minimum wage
who say it will force some
small businesses to close.
“There’s government
kickbacks (and tax cred-
its) for stuff like that,”
Butler said. “A lot of small
businesses pay more than
minimum wage. I have a
friend who works for a
small business and start-
ed at $8 an hour plus tips.
And they’re local owners,
not a national chain.”

primary enforcer of this
ordinance. They will
make the determination
after completing an inves-
tigation of illegal activity
at a property or charging
an individual or indi-
viduals with narcotics or
weapons offenses on the
premises of a property.
Is there a body that
will hear and/or arbi-
trate cases?
McLaughlin: Any
appeals of a violation
under this ordinance will
go to the city’s Housing
Appeals Board. Five citi-
zens render a decision
to uphold, reduce or
reverse an action by the
city under Chapter 7 of
the city code. They meet
monthly.
A key concern raised
at Thursday night’s
meeting was whether a
large complex, such as
Sherman Hills, could
be closed. Given the

Fasula
West Pittston and Dallas,
said he also believes the
state minimum wage is
too low. That’s why he
starts his employees at
about $8 an hour.
And paying a wage
above minimum can ben-
efit the employer as well
as the employee, he said.
“People take more
pride in their work if
they’re making more than
the minimum wage. … I
just think there’s a stigma
attached to it. An employ-
ee could think, ‘I can get
a minimum wage job any-
where,” he said.

ing the minimum wage

swoop would be tough on

have seen at Sherman
Hills in recent years,
is it possible that the
entire complex or indi-
vidual units could be
closed? Same question
for city housing com-
plexes.
McLaughlin: Attorney
Vinsko has previously
noted that, in all cases,
the city will seek to mini-
mize collateral damage
and make a decision based
on the circumstances of
the case. If only one unit
is at fault, the unit will
be shut down and not the
entire complex. The city
will take action within
the confines of state and
federal law.
Is there any estimate
for how many proper-
ties could be closed in
a year, for example? Is
the city preparing for
any particular number
of cases?
McLaughlin: We can’t
speculate on this. There
is no way to determine
Fort Hood case raises questions
about use of death penalty
Nidal Hasan
believes execution
would make him
a martyr
RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI
Associated Press
Maj. Nidal Hasan and
many of his victims in the
Fort Hood shooting seem
to want the same thing —
his death. But while sur-
vivors and relatives of the
dead view lethal injection
as justice, the Army psy-
chiatrist appears to see it
as something else — mar-
tyrdom.
As the sentencing phase
begins Monday following
Hasan’s conviction for kill-
ing 13 people in the 2009
attack, the conflict has not
gone unnoticed.
Autumn Manning, whose
husband, Shawn Manning,
survived being shot six
times, views the death
penalty as a double-edged
sword. On the one hand,
Hasan would get what he
deserves. On the other, it
he wants.
In the end, she said,
it makes little difference
because the military has
not executed anyone since
the 1960s.
“So we know he will die
in prison. So at that point,
my mind changed because
I’d like to see him suf-
fer,” Manning said. “He’s
already considered a mar-
tyr in the Middle East or
wherever those jihadist
views are accepted.”
Hasan’s courtroom
silence, his refusal to
cross-examine almost any
witness and his decision
“That would be a
12½-percent increase.
Right now, my payroll is
$3,000 to $3,200 a week
between both stores,”
said Palissery. “Twelve
percent would be another
$300 to $400 more per
week. That would be a lot
for a small business.”
Raising the minimum
wage slowly would be
more palpable, he said.
Raising retail prices
Joe Fasula, co-owner
of nine Gerrity’s super-
markets in Luzerne and
Lackawanna counties,
agreed. Still, across-the-
board wage increases
for his employees would
mean a jump in food pric-
es for the consumer.
“I always like to see peo-
ple make more money,”
Fasula said, noting that
he starts employees with
experience at wages
above the minimum.
An increase in the
minimum wage “certainly
would be a big help to
them,” but it would also
“hinder a business’ abil-
ity to be flexible. And it
how many weapons or
narcotics offenses will be
committed on the prem-
ises of a rental property
in advance nor could we
know now what the cir-
cumstances of those
investigations and charg-
es might be. This is a
tool that can be used by
law enforcement, but we
would hope to use it as
few times as possible.
Is there any estimate
on whether enforce-
ment of this provision
could result in direct
added costs, and if so,
how much?
McLaughlin: There are
no direct added costs
to this legislation. No
changes in manpower to
enforce it properly. There
is no administrative cost
to the appeals board.
They serve as volunteers
and we already budget
costs related to code
enforcement or police
officers testifying in an
administrative court pro-

to present no defense infu-
riated the civilian attor-
neys he fired earlier in
the case in favor of repre-
senting himself. They had
been ordered to remain
in court to help Hasan if
needed.
The attorneys pro-
tested, telling the judge
he had a death wish and
was paving the way for his
own execution. The judge
rejected their request to
take over the case or to
leave Hasan on his own.
Hasan, a U.S.-born
Muslim of Palestinian
descent, has indicated that
martyrdom is a goal.
“I’m paraplegic and
could be in jail for the rest
of my life,” he told a mili-
tary panel in 2010, accord-
ing to documents his
lawyer recently released
to The New York Times.
“However, if I died by
lethal injection, I would
still be a martyr.”
Kathy Platoni, who has
struggled for nearly four
would certainly hit the
price of food. The last
time it went up, there
was a large increase in
the price of food,” Fasula
said.
Fasula believes that
increasing the minimum
wage will “mostly ben-
efit the 16-year-old kid”
who has no experience in
the job market and can’t
ask to start at a higher
wage because he or she
has no skill set. He said
it would hurt the senior
citizen who would see no
increase in income but
would see food prices
climb.
Mixed bag
Anthony Liuzzo, a
Wilkes University busi-
ness and economics pro-
fessor and director of the
school’s Arizona Business
Programs, said raising
the minimum wage obvi-
ously presents both posi-
tives and negatives.
Minimum wage “usu-
ally doesn’t feed a family
or provide some reason-
able level of comfort” for
the earner, so an increase
ceeding. If you’re refer-
ring to potential court
challenges, again, we
could not estimate costs
to defend the law based
on hypothetical challeng-
es that have not material-
ized right now.
Was there any par-
ticular reason why this
could not wait until the
September meeting?
Why the special meet-
ing? What was the rush?
McLaughlin: The ordi-
nance received unani-
mous support from City
Council last week. By
holding a special ses-
sion of city council, this
law will become effec-
tive Sept. 1 rather than
Sept. 22 and thereby give
our police officers an
additional tool to com-
bat crime in our neigh-
borhoods earlier. For an
issue of such importance,
a three-week procedural
delay was not warranted.
How does the mayor
expect this will work?
AP photo
years with the image of
Capt. John Gaffaney bleed-
ing to death at her feet on
the day of the shooting,
wrestles with conflicting
emotions about Hasan’s
sentence.
“On the one hand, the
ultimate punishment is
death, but in Hasan’s reli-
gious convictions this is
what he seeks,” Platoni
said. “So many of us also
feel, ‘Why give him what
he wants?’ He needs to be
given a punishment that
he didn’t choose … The
ultimate punishment is for
him to live out the rest of
his life in prison.”
Hasan apparently com-
municated with some al-
Qaida leaders prior to the
attack on the Army post
and has repeatedly stated
that the rampage was
designed to prevent U.S.
soldiers from going to fight
in unjust wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Hasan was to
be deployed with some of
the troops he killed.
would be “helping out
persons at the bottom of
the economic ladder.”
“On the other hand,
these kinds of increases
can be inflationary and
hurt the larger economy,”
Liuzzo said, adding that
employers will either
take a hit to their profits,
increase prices or elimi-
nate some jobs.
“Some (minimum wage
earners) will be better off
and some (whose jobs are
eliminated) will be worse
off,” Liuzzo said. “It’s
something to really think
about.”
Liuzzo doubted a strike
would have much, if any,
effect on employers.
Some employers might
even penalize the strikers
because it wouldn’t be a
legal strike, Liuzzo said.
“You want government
to do something, and
you’re striking against the
employer. If employees
want to do something,
they should do something
to show their disappoint-
ment with the govern-
ment,” he said.
How does he think it
will improve life in the
city?
Leighton: We have to
continue to evolve our
methods to combat crime
in our neighborhoods.
Those who undermine
our safety and security
continue to change their
means of operation and
so must we. This is just
another tool in the city’s
arsenal but it is an impor-
tant one. No one can deny
that a significant portion
of criminal incidents have
occurred or were planned
on the premises of rental
properties in the city. We
do not seek to punish
good landlords but we
will not turn a blind eye
to those property owners
who value profit above
responsibility and who
trade the security of their
neighbors for the prom-
ise of a guaranteed rent
check.

Times Leader Correspondent
Several Luzerne County food fes-
tivals served as hotspots of activ-
ity, crafts and entertainment this
Saturday, but the real highlight was,
as always, the food itself.
Attendees were not disappointed,
as the smells of ethnic foods filled
areas of Plymouth, Edwardsville and
Drums.
The 10th annual Kielbasa Festival
in Plymouth overflowed with area
residents. The Ethnic Food Festival
at St. John the Baptist Orthodox
Church in Edwardsville and the Hot
and Stinky Garlic and Herb Festival
at Zanolini Nursery and Country
Shop in Drums also drew foodies.
“The festival is an opportunity to
welcome our parishioners and mem-
bers of the community to sample
our unique ethnic food,” said Ed
Morgans, publicity coordinator at
St. John’s. “It is also our major fund-
raiser of the year.”
Many attendees said they made a
special trip to Edwardsville to par-
take of the menu, which included
potato pancakes, halupki, pierogies,

swath of Main Street was dedicated
to the event. Terry Womelsdorf,
event coordinator and president of
Plymouth Alive!, said this year’s fes-
tival attracted almost 100 vendors,
an increase from previous years.
“We have something for every-
body,” said Womelsdorf, “from food
items to accessories, novelties and
household items.” A parade, which
1. Komensky’s
2. Tarnowski’s
3. Fetch’s
took place Saturday morning, was a
favorite of youngsters.
“I came so that the kids could
watch the parade. It really holds
their attention,” said Lenny Shovlin,
father of Nicholas, 2, and Katelyn,
10 months. “They really love it.”
“Everyone is welcome to par-
ticipate in the parade and it has a
diversity and fun,” parade organizer
Clyde Peters said. “Every year it
gets longer with more people lining
the street for a chance to watch.”
The highlight of the event was the
kielbasi competition. (See attached
list of winners.)
In lower Luzerne County, people
also gathered to celebrate food at
an end-of-summer bash. The Garlic
Festival provided an opportunity
for area vendors to sell homegrown
items and have fun. In its 15th year,
the event includes activities such as
a garlic-eating contest, corn roast,
pottery-making demonstration,
musical offerings and sale of a vari-
ety of homemade foods.
“We anticipate about 1,000 attend-
ees a day,” said festival manager
Paula Willis. “It’s a great opportu-
nity to enjoy food and family in a
wonderful setting.”
The Garlic Festival continues
today from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with
the garlic-eating contest, touted
as “the best part of the festival” at
noon.

Hayfield event will celebrate the arts

MARY THERESE BIEBEL
mbiebel@timesleader.com
With a steady hand and a delicate
brush, Sylvia Hughes of Dallas painted
a curlicue of yellow-tinted varnish along
the edge of a black platter.
Later, when the curving line would be
almost dry, she intended to use a piece
of velvet to apply gold powder, giving
the dish a distinctive “early American
look” that graces many a hope chest,
tea pot, tray, clock face or chair.
In the style of colonial Americans
who painted designs on tin, wood and
textiles to brighten everyday household
objects, Hughes and several friends
took art lessons for some 20 years,
starting around 1960.
“It was so much fun to paint togeth-
er,” she said, remembering classes
with Peggy Weaver and with Helen
Gross, who had herself been a stu-
dent of the renowned craftsman Frank
Bittenbender.
CONTRIBUTORS
The early American-style artwork
on display today during the Arts
at Hayfield event includes pieces
contributed by local artists Marilyn
Maslow, Claudette Banks, Ann
Coughlin, Dotty Henry, Merle Young
and Sylvia Hughes.
Hughes especially admires Young’s
work, which earned her membership
in the prestigious Brazer Guild of The
Historical Society of Earl American
Decoration.
In an effort to draw attention to the
art form, Hughes will display a variety
of pieces culled from the collections
of several friends from 10 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. today at the Arts at Hayfield sum-
mer event, which will be held on the
campus of Penn State Wilkes-Barre in

PORTLAND, Maine —
Go for the lobster. Stay for
the duck fat.
Because culinary excur-
sionists undoubtedly are
drawn to Maine for a
taste of the state’s signa-
ture crustacean. And they
won’t be disappointed. But
once you’ve had your fill of
butter-drenched claws and
tender hunks of lobster tail
tucked into hot-dog rolls,
head to the state’s larg-
est city where there are
many — perhaps even too
many — great food finds to
explore.
That’s actually the prob-
lem with Portland. For a
city of just 66,000 people
along the ocean, it seems
practically overrun by
amazing eateries, from
standing room-only baker-
ies to award-winning high-
enders. For residents and
frequent visitors with the
leisure to explore them all,
it is a boon. But for those
on a tighter schedule, it’s
easy to feel overwhelmed.

Opened in 2005 by

of a shop wedged between
two other restaurants in an

Paterniti’s ‘The Telling Room’

MATTHEW PRICE
MCT
—“The Telling Room:
A Tale of Love, Betrayal,
Revenge, and the
World’s Greatest Piece
of Cheese,” by Michael
Paterniti; The
Press (349 pages, $27)
Dial
——
Michael Paterniti lost
his head over a piece of
cheese. It was not just any
cheese, mind you: This
was an exquisite, soulful,
handcrafted hunk aged in
olive oil and made from
the milk of sheep that
grazed on chamomile and
sage in a tiny Spanish
town. Paterniti first dis-
covered it in Ann Arbor,
Mich., where he was fin-
ishing a master of fine
arts degree in the early
’90s and making a few
extra bucks proofreading
a newsletter for the famed
Zingerman’s deli.
A few years passed.
Paterniti became a suc-
cessful, footloose maga-
zine journalist and a
father. He wrote a book,
“Driving Mr. Albert: A
Trip Across America With
Einstein’s Brain.” Then an
old file turned up a yel-
lowed Zingerman’s news-
letter, and an obsession
began, one that would
consume him for a more
than a decade.
In “The Telling Room,”
Paterniti spins out one
of the most extravagant
nonfiction narratives of
the season. I should say
right off that his style
— preposterously self-
indulgent, self-conscious,
punning and way, way
too playful — is usually
is produced (farmers’ mar-
ket fetishists and artisanal
eggheads, take note). It
is about stories and their
tellers, truth and lies,
facts and illusions.
Paterniti’s ostensible
subject was how Páramo
de Guzmán became a
“foodie” obsession (its
fans include Fidel Castro).
Paterniti struck journalis-
tic gold in his main char-
acter, an earthy, larger-
than-life Spanish farmer
and cheesemaker named
Ambrosio Molinos de las
Heras. Burly and rugged,
Molinos speaks in deep
baritone registers. He
discourses on the plea-
sures of digestion, and
says things like “There’s
immeasurable glory in
riding a tractor” and “You
ask the wheat, Is it time?
And the wheat says, Yes,
tic man of the earth who
talked in dizzying, digres-
sive flourishes (Castilian
anecdotes can go on for
hours) and presented him-
self as a custodian of the
old ways — “webbed to
the here and now, sunk
into it,” Paterniti writes,
“while I seemed to spend
a great deal of time racing
through airports, a pro-
cessed cream-cheese bagel
in hand, trying to reach
the future.”
When Paterniti arrives,
Molinos is no longer mak-
ing cheese, and is eva-
sive on why he’s stopped.
There is dark talk about
betrayal at the hands of his
best friend, “who stole my
soul,” and a group of inves-
tors brought in to expand
the business. Paterniti is
torn; he reveres Molinos
and delights in his compa-

let’s just say that the truth
about Molinos, his cheese
and his alleged betrayal is
complex and messy. The
purported villain of this
tale — the best friend —
is less dastardly than he
appears, and Molinos, in
turn, has spun stories to
cover up his own flaws.
Paterniti learns that while
Molinos understood the
poetry of cheese, the
prose of increased produc-
tion and marketing evad-
ed him.
In Castile, “a telling
room” is a gathering place
where stories are told.
To understand Molinos
and his cheese obsession,
Paterniti makes his way
through the web of tall
tales and gets to the bot-
tom of the mystery. But
Molinos is not diminished
by Paterniti’s revelations;

not my thing. Paterniti
tested the patience of his
editors, missing deadline
after deadline, and he will
test yours, too — all over
a piece of cheese.
Go with it. Yes, “The
Telling Room” is about
a cheese, Páramo de
Guzmán, but it is also
a book about the way
Americans live now, what
we eat and how our food
friend, it’s time. And then
you know to begin the har-
vest.”
The farmer welcomed
Paterniti and his family
into his life and his town
— Guzmán, population
80, situated on the sun-
baked plains of central
Spain. In him, the writer
saw an antidote to the
discontents of modern life
— a charming, authen-
ny. “If I wasn’t a journal-
ist, he wouldn’t have to be
my subject — that is, we’d
never have to be anything
but friends. If I wanted
to be in his world, then I
wouldn’t have to stop and
observe. I could just live
it.”
Herein lies the rub.
Paterniti had a book to
write — he had to report
it, not just live it — and
Hospice Services
he is only made more
human. We all tell stories,
Paterniti suggests, how-
ever outlandish, to con-
struct our very selves.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A
lovely distraction will be
part of the fun, but don’t
let it consume you. The
occasion calls for modera-
tion. Too much of anything
— even a good thing — will
be a bad thing.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You can’t control other
people’s happiness levels,
but you can contribute to
them. Think ahead to what
the others in your group
are going to want out of
today’s scenario. It will
only be fun for you if
others are smiling.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Wherever you go, you can
bet that you’ll experience
it differently from the
others. You have an
entirely different set of
criteria for deciding what
is charming, interesting
and cool.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’ll be reminded of how
each person operates
inside territorial lines,
some visible and some
invisible. Being sensitive to
the reactions of others will
help you understand when
you’re in danger of cross-
ing the line.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Being
hard on yourself is some-
times unhelpful, and other
times, like today, it’s just
what you need to do your
best work.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You like your relation-
ships the way you like
your vocabulary: clearly
defined. Today’s events
will help you understand
where things stand and
what they mean so you
8/25/13 don’t have to guess
anymore.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Nichols Lewis saying nothing at all.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Preparations will be a big
part of the day’s focus.
As long as you’re setting
yourself up, you may as
well set yourself up to win.
Allow yourself double the
thinking time.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Like attracts like.
Fire sparks more flames.
Water rises to its own
level. These old sayings
will be represented in the
day’s events, which will
have to do with you acting
in kind with those around
you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19). The secret to
staying strong is pretty
simple: Don’t let yourself
be weak, fall apart or act
in a way that is below your
capability. Bad moves only
lead to more of the same.
Be vigilant.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
People who cause oth-
ers stress continually will
eventually turn the envi-
ronment into an unpleas-
ant place to be. That’s why
you like to defuse the ten-
sion and find ways to lead
the action in a positive
direction.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
KENKEN JUMBLE You’ll have to deal with
a strong personality, so
1. Each row and each column must contain the numbers 1 through 4. 2. The numbers within the heavily outlined boxes, called
cages, must combine using the given operation (in any order) to produce the target numbers in the top-left corners. 3. Freebies: remember: Just because

a person can’t admit
to being wrong (or say
“you’re right”) doesn’t
mean he or she won’t
change after you’ve aired
your grievances.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(Aug. 25). Because you are
vigilant, when you make
a rule, you follow it every
time. You’ll thrive when
equally vigilant types join
your mission in September.
October through
December brings multiple
trips including no-cost
travel. You’ll make a new
fun friend in November.
Your professional position

who works hard, is respon-
sible, healthy, and he does
half the household chores.

Ray says he expresses his

I appreciate it, but it doesn’t
feel like love to me. I’d like
him to buy me flowers, send

giving him back rubs, baking
him his favorite pie and buy-

My degree is in agriculture,
and my husband and I have
been saving for this for some
time. Mom now says unless
we have a child to pass the
farm on to, we can’t have it.
I am devastated about
not being able to fulfill our

I’m not sure how to handle

I just let her remarks go?

Any advice?

Dear Cornered: People who
don’t want to be parents usu-
ally don’t make very good
ones — and to bring a child
into the world in order to get
your hands on your mother’s

child.
I see no reason to cut
off your mother. When she
raises this subject again (and
she will), tell her that even if
you had a baby “to pass the
farm on to,” there is no guar-
antee the child would WANT
it. In the meantime, continue
saving your money so you
will have a sufficient down
payment for a farm of your
own — no strings attached.

READY FOR ROUND 2

Penn State and Bill O’Brien have held together for 2013
By DEREK LEVARSE
dlevarse@timesleader.com

The cameras came last summer to

record a program being torn down.
They returned a year later to discover
exactly how it’s still standing.
At the center of it is Bill O’Brien,
who started his second training camp
as Penn State’s head coach being
tailed by ESPN into the team’s Lasch
Building headquarters.
“We’ll play teams that have more
players than us, numbers-wise,”
O’Brien told the Nittany Lions in their
first meeting in August as the cameras
rolled. “Who cares?”
A pause.
“Who cares?”
The coach’s voice grew louder.
“And who cares what everybody out
there says. And what everybody out
there thinks. It doesn’t matter. It mat-
ters what the people in this room think.
And what we believe. And what we’re
building.
“What we’re going to do is show peo-
ple the work that we’ve put in. And that
we can win games.”
As the 2013 season opens this week,
the goals have remained the same for
Penn State despite the NCAA sanc-
tions that still loom over Happy Valley.

By DEREK LEVARSE

Michael Mauti faced
some great athletes on
Saturdays last season.
And the former Penn
State linebacker was just
as impressed with who he
saw during the week in
practice.
By the end of his final
season with the Nittany
Lions, Mauti would light
up at the mention of
Eugene Lewis’ name.
“I can tell you from
experience personally,”
Mauti said. “He’s gonna
be a great addition to this
team for the next couple
years.
“He’s definitely a guy
to look out for. When he
gets the opportunity, he’s
gonna make the most of
it.”
He’ll get that chance
starting Saturday.
While redshirting in
2012, Lewis — called
“Geno” by teammates and
coaches — worked pri-
marily with Penn State’s
scout team, often playing
the role of the opposition’s
best athlete on offense.
And he gave the Lions’
defense, led by NFL
draft picks Mauti, Gerald
Hodges and Jordan Hill,
plenty of trouble.
In 2013, Lewis is
ready to make an impact
on Saturday’s himself
along as Penn State’s
first scholarship player
from the Wyoming Valley
Conference since GAR’s
Paul Jefferson in 2004.
Now that Matt McGloin
has graduated, Lewis is
one of a handful of players
who will carry the District
2 banner for the Lions
along with Valley View’s
Nyeem Wartman, West
Scranton’s Eric Shrive
and Old Forge’s Brian
Tomasetti.
“Anybody we can get
from Northeast Pa. is
great,” Lewis said. “A lot
of guys don’t come out
from there and especially
here. So anybody from
there that comes here, you
want to have a great rela-
tionship with them.”
The playmaking ability
he showed at Wyoming
Valley West was good
enough for Lewis to have
seen the field as a true
freshman.
But after playing quar-
terback as a junior and
senior for the Spartans,
Penn State coaches were
eager to refine his funda-
mentals as a receiver.
A shot at immedi-
ate playing time was
one of the things that
drew Lewis to Happy

Just like the fanbase, Penn
State players were eager to see
Christian Hackenberg in action.
He’ll be playing on Saturdays.
So will sophomore Tyler
Ferguson.
Whether it’s “Hack” or
“Fergie” — as their teammates
have already dubbed them —
taking the majority of snaps in
Saturday’s opener is still a bit of
a mystery.
By the end of this last week of
camp, Bill O’Brien was under-
standably tired of answering
questions about which one will
be the starter. But that’s about
the only subject the Penn State
coach doesn’t enjoy when it
comes to his rookie signal-call-
ers.
“One thing that’s really excit-
ing about working with young
quarterbacks is that you get a
chance to really mold that quar-
terback,” O’Brien said. “You get
a chance to really teach that Pete G. Wilcox | The Times Leader

Penn State quarterback Tyler Ferguson was
the starter at College of the Sequoias in
California for one season.
• thought was really good.
Hackenberg, meanwhile, had
remained firmly committed to
O’Brien and Penn State even after
the NCAA brought the hammer
down in July. After a few days
of deliberation, he visited State
College with others in the recruiting
class and told O’Brien he was still
coming.
But Ferguson arrived on campus
first, having spent one season as the
starter at College of the Sequoias
in central California. That meant
he had the benefit of going through
spring practice and getting a jump
start on learning O’Brien’s complex
offense.
He picked it up quickly enough
that he edged out Steven Bench,
who had spent nearly a full year on
campus, for the lead after spring
practice. Bench transferred to South
Florida, making it a two-man race.
Hackenberg, who got to Happy
Valley in June, had some catching up
to do.
O’Brien had little doubt he could
do it. The coach was still trying
to win a Super Bowl with the New
England Patriots when he first saw
Hackenberg’s high school film early
in 2012.
“I watched a lot of quarterbacks
from the ‘13 recruiting class,”
O’Brien said. “And he stood out to
me right away as probably one of the
top two or three — I’m talking about
in the country — that, in my eyes, I
“I could tell that he was a good
decision-maker. … I could tell
mechanically he was solid. I felt that
he was accurate. I could tell on film
that he was a bigger guy, which I
liked. He could see over the trees.
I liked the fact that he went to Fork
Union Military Academy, because I
felt like he was going to be a disci-
plined kid.”

“Then you go to practice. These
guys love to practice. The great
quarterbacks that I’ve been around,
when they walk on the practice field,
the whole team knows that they’re
there. … That’s part of being a great
quarterback. And then obviously

Originally, O’Brien had things
planned out on a tidy schedule. Four
weeks of practices before the opener
against Syracuse.
Take two to hold the competition
for the job. Name a starter. Give him
the last two to work with the first
team and develop some chemistry in
time for the game. Makes sense.
It didn’t exactly work out that way.
After the first week, Hackenberg
managed to close the gap with
Ferguson. Suddenly, O’Brien was
talking about using both in some
capacity. Not a full rotation — Penn
State fans still shudder at the frus-
trating McGloin-Bolden merry-go-
round from 2011 — but enough that
both could lead the team if needed.
That much would be a change
for O’Brien, who had made it very
clear in the past that he preferred to
stick with one quarterback. In 2012,
Bench rarely saw the field in relief of

Sky over MetLife Stadium
a focus for Super Bowl
DaViD PoRteR
Associated Press
NEWARK, N.J. — While one
burning question looms over the
run-up to Super Bowl — Will it
snow? — at least as much atten-
tion is being focused behind the
scenes on how to safely and effi-
ciently move tens of thousands
of people in and around MetLife
Stadium.
Over it, too.
MetLife Stadium sits within a
few miles of Teterboro Airport to
the north and several miles from
Newark Liberty Airport to the
south. Those are two of the four
hubs that help make the New
York-New Jersey metro area the
most congested airspace in the
country. Newark Liberty and

Holman also won Wednesday
night’s game against
Connecticut with a three-run

he hit a grand slam in the fourth
inning that ended a mercy rule-
shortened 15-3 victory over
Newark, Del.
For Connecticut, Chad
Knight lined a run-scoring
single to deep left field in the
seventh inning to give the New
England champions a wild
14-13 win over Sammamish,
Wash., on Friday. He also hit a
solo homer to tie it at 13 in the

Meyer began
SEC title run,
now wants
to end it
RuStY MilleR
AP Sports Writer
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Urban
Meyer had officially been the
head coach at Ohio State for
maybe 10 minutes when he was
hit with his first
question about
his old confer-
ence.
So, is the
Conference bet-
ter than the Big
Ten, and if so, Meyer
why?
“It’s obvious that the SEC right
now is dominant,” the ex-Florida
coach said in November 2011 at
his first news conference as new
head man of the Buckeyes. “It’s
a faster league than the Big Ten.
Does it mean it’s a better league?
Yeah, it’s the best conference in
college football. Does it mean
the Big Ten’s far behind? I don’t
think it’s that far. I think you’ll
see the game change again. It
changes all the time.”
Since Meyer spoke those
words the SEC has won two
more national championships,
stretching to seven its unprece-
dented domination of the college
game’s landscape.
No conference had ever won
even three consecutive titles
since The Associated Press
began its poll in 1936.
It was Meyer who lit the fuse
on that string of success, win-
ning the title after the 2006
season. More than most, he
knows what makes the SEC
such a powerhouse. Does he

that figure to arrive in the days
leading up to the Super Bowl
and the airspace could become
even more crowded.
That won’t be the case during
the game, however, when the
Federal Aviation Administration
will create a temporary flight
restriction over MetLife Stadium.
The FAA didn’t offer details
on that this week, but judging by
previous Super Bowls, it figures

Medico,Makowski make final run at state title

Talented duo return to lead Holy Redeemer
JAY MONAHAN
For The Times Leader
WILKES-BARRE — Holy
Redeemer golfers Mariano
Medico and Chase Makowski
understood that most high
school friendships falter after
they leave for college.
Medico and Makowski, best
friends and inseparable since
meeting in pre-school at the age
of three, decided it was impera-
tive to keep the friendship —
both on and off the links — living.
Naturally, their decision to
choose a college became easier
when the same school showed
interest in the two of them.
Royal seniors Medico and
Makowski will continue their
college education and golf
careers together. Both made ver-
bal commitments to Division I
Monmouth University this week.
“Chase is like my brother,”
Medico said. “We do everything
together from going out on the
weekends to playing golf. It’s
really cool that we can have that
relationship with somebody. To
continue my career with him is
going to make us both better
golf players.”
The two of them became a
couple of the top golfers in both
the area and the state. Medico
is the reigning District 2 cham-
pion and placed fifth at the
individual state championships.
Makowski was instrumental
in moving the team through
the PIAA Team Championship
Tournament where it finished
second to Wyomissing in a sud-
den death playoff.
“That’s the fabulous thing,”
Holy Redeemer coach Art Brunn
Jr. said. “Getting one of them is
nice but getting two of them is
the total package. They feed off
each other. A lot of experience
is shown when they step on the
golf course.”
Makowski said that
Monmouth coach Dennis Shea
recruited him and mentioned
that he needed two players.
Makowski referred his team-
mate, and the Hawks pitched
a two-for-one deal to the two
of them. The two decided on
Monmouth together over the
summer while playing at a tour-
nament with current Monmouth
golfer Brady Goodling.
“That’s what we wanted to do
from the beginning,” Makowski
said. “We play well together. It’s
only going to get better as we
get older.”
For the time being, Medico
and Makowski have their mind
on one thing — a state cham-
pionship. Holy Redeemer and
Wyomissing went to a tiebreak-
er after being tied at the conclu-
sion of the PIAA state cham-
pionship. The Royals lost by
two strokes after Wyomissing’s
Sam Gallen sank a remarkable
97-foot approach shot to birdie
the playoff hole, the par-4 No.
18 hole at Heritage Hills in York.
“To be honest, when I think
about school, I replay that
shot,” Medico said. “It’s all I
think about. It’s something that
will never happen again.”
Medico has his sights on
redemption for this year. The
Royals return all but one player,
and, in addition to Medico and
Makowski, Holy Redeemer will
receive help from Mike Boland,
Ryan Crossin, Andrew Crossin
and Alex Rowan.
“It gives us motivation and
fires us up,” Makowski said. “I
think (we’re) maybe a better Bill Tarutis | For The Times Leader

 THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com
If you only knew now what you will know then
RICH SHEPOSH
rsheposh@timesleader.com
Wouldn’t it be great
if your great-great-great
grandson invented a time
machine? And, out of the
goodness of his heart, he
came back and gave it to
you?
You could gas up the
tank with 1.21 gigawatts
of unleaded and head back
to play those Powerball
numbers a week before
anyone else. Or invest
in Google at the ground
floor.
Or avoid that second
shot of Jack Daniels
that one night in ’89,
and not end up in that
Poughkeepsie motel room
with Regis Philbin’s pants
on your head. (If, theoreti-
cally that ever happened
…)
Or, maybe you’d draft
Adrian Peterson at pick 12
last year.
Alas, reality has con-
spired with physics to
make time travel impos-
sible. You didn’t win the
lottery, you don’t have a
parking spot at Google
HQ, your mug shot still
hangs up in the Dutchess
County Police Station and
you will always regret tak-
ing Chris Johnson at the
turn.
But suppose, just sup-
pose, your future self
could skirt the laws of
reality and find a way to
send you this year’s draft
guide before last year’s
draft. Or, better yet, the
2014 version before this
year’s draft. You’d be able
to do some serious dam-
age with that knowledge.
And what would next
year’s Top 10 look like if
you got a hold of it today?
A little like this …
1: Adrian Peterson,
RB, Vikings: You were
expecting someone differ-
ent? It’s very tempting to
have an up-and-coming
back steal his crown, but if
we learned anything from
Peterson’s recovery from
2012 ACL surgery, it’s that
he’s not human. Take the
over on 1,500 yards and
12 TDS and don’t look
back.
2: C.J.Spiller, RB,
Bills: His 1,703 total
yards and eight TDs
were good enough for
seventh among fantasy
RBs in 2012 – And he only
started nine games. With
a full season as starter in
2013 those numbers figure
to be upwards of 2,000
total yards and 12 plus
touchdowns. Them’s good
numbers, folks.
3: Jamaal Charles,
RB, Chiefs: Kansas City
finished 2-14 last year
and somehow managed to
send six players to the Pro
Bowl. How does that hap-
pen? It means the team
was more talented than its
record. Add Andy Reid as
head coach and you have
the makings of a nice sur-
prise in K.C. Remember
how good Brian
Westbrook and LeSean
McCoy were in Reid’s
offense in Philly. Well,
Charles is a BETTER back
than those guys.
4: Matt Forte, RB,
Bears: Forte makes a
big jump here based on
the new coach Marc
Trestman’s offensive style.
If you are a RB and can
catch, Trestman likes to
get you the ball – a LOT.
He was coordinator for the
49ers in 1995 when Derek
Loville had 13 total TDs
and 87 receptions. With
with the Raiders in 2002,
he helped Charlie Garner
to 2,000 total yards and
11 TDs. And Forte is one
of the NFL’s better pass-
catching backs.
5: Trent Richardson,
RB, Browns: Little known
fact: Among RBs with at
least 200 carries in 2012,
Richardson finished third
with 51 receptions. He
was also one of eight RBs
with 10 or more TDs.
Cleveland may actually
have a decent offense for a
change and if Richardson
stays healthy in 2013,
that will propel him into
the top of the 2014 draft
board. Here’s betting he
stays upright.
FANTASY FOOTBALL
6: Calvin Johnson,
WR, Lions: Watch the
Lions for five minutes in
preseason and you call
tell that this team has no
idea what a running game
is. The only running they
do is after the receiver
catches the ball. Not sur-
prising since they have a
QB who chucks it around
like an old San Diego
State-BYU game from the
late 1980s. This is a recipe
for a record-setting year
for “Megatron.”
7: LeSean McCoy,
RB, Eagles: The good
news: He clocks in at
the seventh spot on next
year’s countdown. The
bad news: He should
have been higher. Many
pundits, prognostica-
tors and prestidigitators
think new Eagle coach
Chip Kelly will be able to
take his Oregon offense
and work wonders in the
NFL. And he just might.
But the track record of
college coaches moving
to the big time shows a
first-year learning curve.
Jim Harbaugh and Pete
Carroll had great PAC-10
offenses but took some
time to get things roll-
ing in the NFL. Look for
McCoy to be really good
and a hair short of great.
8: Giovani Bernard,
RB, Bengals: Four or five
weeks into the season,
this pick won’t look very
smart. Bernard will be
splitting time with hyphen
hoarder Ben-Jarvis Green-
Ellis. By the end of the
year, you will understand.
Bernard is a Charles/
Spiller/Forte kind of
back who will eventually
become a prime weapon
in the running and passing
games for the Bengals.
9: Doug Martin, RB,
Buccaneers: When you
look at 2012 year-end
stats, you’ll see Martin’s
name sitting at No. 2
among RBs. When you
break down the season,

Pennsylvania is one of 18 states in
the Eastern Management Unit partici-
pating in an annual dove banding pro-
gram, which is used to obtain data on
reproduction, age ratios and to set sea-
sons and bag limits. This year, 1,124
doves were banded in Pennsylvania,
including close to 200 in the north-
east region. Roughly 40,000 doves are
banded in the entire EM.
Pennsylvania Game Commission
biologist Lisa Williams pays close
attention to the number of juveniles
banded and how many of those are
harvested each year.
“We harvest juveniles at twice the
rate of adults,” she said. “The major-
ity are taken in the September sea-
son.”
Last year, more than 1,000 doves
were banded in 40 locations in the
state. Twenty four bands were report-
ed, and 21 one of those were harvest-
ed by hunters in September, two were
killed by cats and one was found dead
on a roadway.
Of the doves banded this summer,
589 were juveniles, 407 were adults
and 128 were of unknown age. While
doves do migrate, Williams said the
majority of those harvested are taken
in Pennsylvania. The banding pro-
gram has turned up birds that migrat-
ed to North Carolina, South Carolina,
Virginia and Georgia.
Most doves don’t live beyond three
years of age, but the banding program
has turned up a male that is at least
seven years old in the Middle Creek
Wildlife Management Area.
Based on estimates from the band-
ing program, the dove population in
the EMU has hovered between 92 and
94 million over each of the last three
years.
may no longer be allowed.
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commission may vote on a proposal
at their October meeting to ban the
possession and transportation of
any live crayfish.
Why?
Because invasive crayfish, such as
those purchased for bait, are taking
over some waterways and disrupting
entire aquatic ecosystems.
Rusty crayfish, which is native
to the Ohio River Basin, have
taken over the lower Susquehanna
Drainage - the river and its tributary
streams — according to PFBC biolo-
gist David Leib, who spoke on the
issue during the agency’s commis-
sioner meeting in July.
In some waterways in the south-
east, the native crayfish popula-
tion has been replaced entirely by
the invasive variety. Even some

Waterfowl seasons are set by usFWs

The Times Leader staff
The Pennsylvania Game Commission has made its selections for
the 2013-14 migratory game bird hunting seasons and bag limits.
Annual waterfowl seasons are selected by states from a
framework established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Game
Commission selections were made after reviewing last year’s
season results, waterfowl survey data, and input gathered from
waterfowl hunters and the public. Final approval from the USFWS
is expected by late September.
The agency has posted the annual waterfowl and migratory
bird season brochure and zone maps on its website (www.pgc.
state.pa.us), making it convenient for hunters to access the
information they need.
Game Commission waterfowl biologist Kevin Jacobs said
the outlook is mixed for waterfowl populations important to
Pennsylvania.
“Banding studies indicate most of Pennsylvania’s mallard, wood
duck, and Canada goose harvests are derived from birds breeding
in Pennsylvania and surrounding states,” Jacobs said. “These
populations are monitored through the Atlantic Flyway Breeding
Waterfowl Survey. At the state level, the estimated number of
indicated mallard breeding pairs (69,400) was 24 percent below
the 1993-2012 long-term average of 91,000 pairs. Other surveys
also indicate that mallard populations in the northeastern U.S.
have declined from levels observed in the 1990s. The 59,600
wood duck breeding pairs estimated in Pennsylvania in 2013 is
similar to the long-term statewide average of 52,000 pairs.”
“Trends in wood duck abundance have indicated stable to slightly
increasing populations across all years of the survey for both
Pennsylvania and the northeastern U.S.,” Jacobs said. “The 2013
statewide estimate for American black ducks is 2,137 pairs. Black
ducks have been observed at very low and declining densities
since the survey was initiated in 1989. However, black duck
populations in eastern Canada remain healthy and support open
hunting seasons on this historically important species in eastern
North America. American black ducks continue to account for
about 5 percent of Pennsylvania’s total duck harvest.”
The Pennsylvania estimates of total blue-winged teal (11,100) and
total green-winged teal (6,300) are above average in 2013.
“We don’t believe these estimates are indicative of true breeding
populations of teal in Pennsylvania as many migrating teal are
encountered during the survey period,” Jacobs said. “Estimates
of total hooded mergansers (10,700) and common mergansers
(28,000) are above average. The trends for both breeding
merganser species have increased since 1993.”
Jacobs noted that Pennsylvania’s spring 2013 resident Canada
goose population is estimated at 279,000 birds.
“The resident goose population appears to have declined over the
past nine years following highly significant population expansion
from 1990 to 2004, but it remains well above the Resident
Population management plan goal of 150,000 spring birds,”
Jacobs said. “We continue efforts to achieve the management
plan goal primarily by reducing populations in southeastern and
southwestern Pennsylvania.
of the state’s renowned trout
streams - Yellow Breeches in
Cumberland County, Spring Creek
and Fisherman’s Paradise in State
College, and Penns Creek in Centre
County, for example — have been
taken over by invasive crayfish.
What harm can a non-native crayfish
bring considering there are already
crayfish living in the waterway?
Plenty.
According to Leib, the non-native
species have higher metabolic rates,
meaning they eat more. Crayfish are
omnivores, eating everything from
plant matter to animals, basically
anything they can get their claws on.
They also consume fish and
amphibian eggs, mussels, snails,
caddisflies and other invertebrates.
When the invasives invade, with
their big appetites and larger size
that outcompetes the native cray-
fish, the food chain under the water
can be dramatically altered.
Aside from appetite and size,
another way that invasive crayfish
outcompete the native variety is
by sheer numbers. Leib said native
crayfish might populate a waterway

Eagle DOVE SEASON IS DIVIDED INTO THREE

From page 10C
Pennsylvania along the Ohio border. At that time, eagle populations had been
decimated by the effects of water pollution, persecution and compromised nest
success caused by organochlorine pesticides such as DDT.
Three decades later, Pennsylvania’s booming bald-eagle population represents
one of the great success stories in wildlife conservation history, Roe said.
“It seems that each passing year writes a new chapter in the story of the bald
eagle’s success in Pennsylvania and the latest numbers, and the recommendation
to delist the eagle as a state threatened species, is the best news yet,” Roe said.
“But the story isn’t over. Pennsylvania has plenty of good bald-eagle habitat that’s
not currently being used by eagles. And as the years roll on, I’m sure eagles will
give us plenty more to celebrate.”
Gross said removing bald eagles from the state threatened species list would
neither hinder eagle populations in Pennsylvania nor knock off course the species’
comeback here.
If the bald eagle is delisted, the bird will continue to be protected under the federal
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (the Eagle Act), the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act, and the Lacey Act. Under the Eagle Act, those who harm or disturb eagles
are subject to a civil penalty of up to one year in jail or a $5,000 fine for their first
offense, and criminal convictions can result in fines as high as $250,000.
“We will not be abandoning the bald eagle, but giving it less emphasis as we turn to
new challenges in bird conservation in the state,” Gross said.
The Game Commission, too, will continue to follow its bald-eagle management
plan, which calls for the agency to monitor nests, at least through 2017.
Likewise, the commission will continue to urge those who encounter eagle nests
to keep their distance, and not do anything to frighten the birds. The agency has
recommended that people get no closer than 1,000 feet from any eagle nest.
Disturbances that cause adult eagles to fly from the nest could compromise the
success of that nest. They are more likely to abandon a nest disturbed early in the
nesting cycle. Additionally, eaglets can respond to frightening situations by trying
to fledge the nest prematurely, and sometimes die as a result.
A wealth of information on bald eagles, where to view them and proper nest
etiquette is available at the Game Commission’s website, www.pgc.state.pa.us by

The bald eagle was delisted as a state endangered species and reclassified as a
threatened species in 2005, when about 100 nests were confirmed statewide.
Especially when considering the sharp jump in eagle populations since then, it
might seem hard to believe just how bleak the eagle’s future appeared just 30

regular drawing for goose blinds. Interested
juniors should use the same application
on page 28 of the 2013-14 Digest. Only one
application will be accepted per junior hunter.
In addition to a regular Pennsylvania hunting
license, persons 16 and older must have a
Federal Migratory Bird and Conservation
Stamp, commonly referred to as a “Duck
Stamp,” signed in ink across its face. All
waterfowl hunters, regardless of age, must
have a Pennsylvania Migratory Game Bird
License to hunt waterfowl and other migratory
birds, including doves, woodcock, coots,
moorhens, rails and snipe. All migratory game
bird hunters in the United States are required
to complete a Harvest Information Program
survey when they purchase a state migratory
game bird license. The survey information is
then forwarded to the USFWS.
Also, to participate in the light goose
conservation hunts, hunters will need to
obtain a free conservation hunt permit, in
addition to their other required licenses,
and file a mandatory report of harvest/
participation. In late 2013, the Light Goose
Conservation Hunt website will be available
on the Game Commission’s website (www.
pgc.state.pa.us) so that hunters can apply for
and print out the free conservation permit.
Hunters must use non-toxic shot
while hunting ducks, geese or coots in
Pennsylvania. The use of decoys powered or
operated by batteries or any other source
of electricity is unlawful in Pennsylvania,
except during the light goose conservation
seasons. Also, the use of any sort of artificial
substance or product as bait or an attractant
is prohibited.
For complete early Canada goose season
information, as well as webless migratory
game bird seasons, please see News Release
#057-13, which the agency issued on Aug. 1.
Hunters encouraged to report banded birds
Migratory game bird hunters are encouraged
to report banded ducks, geese, doves and
woodcock they harvest online at www.
reportband.gov, or by using the toll-free
number (1-800-327-2263). Hunters will be
requested to provide information on where,
when and what species of migratory birds
were taken, in addition to the band number.
This information is crucial to the successful
management of migratory birds.
Kevin Jacobs, Game Commission waterfowl
biologist, also stressed that reporting
leg-bands helps the Game Commission
and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service learn
more about migratory bird movements,
and survival and harvest rates, which are
critical to population management and
setting of hunting regulations. Each year,
nearly 380,000 ducks and geese and 30,000
mourning doves are banded across the United
States and Canada.
Under the old reporting system, utilized until
the late 1990s, about one-third of recovered
banded birds were reported by hunters. Now,
with the option of using online or toll-free
methods, band reporting rates are estimated
to have stabilized around 70 percent. This
allows more information to be obtained from
the program and can reduce costs associated
with banding ducks, geese and doves.

Butler as their new leader

By PAUL SOKOLOSKI
psokoloski@timesleader.com
A certain electricity lit up the
Penn State defense as soon as John
Butler was named the team’s new
defensive coordinator.
“There was definitely a sense
of excitement,” Penn State safety
Stephen Obeng-Agypong said. “He’s
a natural-born leader.”
“I’m excited,” returning Big Ten
honorable mention safety Adrian
Amos said, “for the secondary, for
the season.”
What other reaction would any-
one expect over the promotion of
the easily excitable Butler, who
chest-bumped and high-fived his
way through last season as Penn
State’s secondary coach?
And it’s not just the guys in Penn
State’s defensive backfield who are
gushing about the energy Butler’s
certain to bring to the entire
defense.
“I like it,” hulking defensive tackle
DaQuan Jones said of Butler’s hire.
“He’s a great guy, great coach. He
comes in all the time real energetic.”
In his new, more respected job
as coordinator of an entire defense,
Butler promises to tone down his
antics some.
“As your roles change, as you grow
as a coach and a person,” said Butler,
who replaces the departed Ted Roof
as the Lions’ defensive boss, “you’ve
got to make sure who you are and
what you’re about enables you to
do the best professional job in your
certain role. Obviously, my role’s a
little bit different now — it’s a big-
ger position because there are more
people to keep an eye on. There’s a
big part of you that regains compo-
sure and poise.”
Fat chance.
Players say Butler’s been back-
slapping and leaping with glee over
good plays since his first practice as
defensive coordinator.
“Oh yeah,” Amos grinned, “he’s
been even more animated over
everything. He’s probably one of the
most animated coaches out there.”
The fire really burns when Butler
sees a bad play, or bad decision by
his defense.
“He’s never going to lose his edge,
man,” Obeng-Agyapong said. “I feel
like he came out of the womb with
that edge.”
So much for composure and poise.
“I’m going to be who I am,” Butler
shrugged.
But whether or not he’s wearing
his emotions on his sleeves, Butler
is poised to make an impact on Penn
State’s defense.
It’s started already.
In this age of lost scholarships
and less talent due to NCAA sanc-
tions imposed on Penn State over
the Jerry Sandusky scandal, Butler
is working the team’s setup like
pieces on a chess board.
Defensive backs will become line-
backers at times. Linebackers will
sometimes bolster the defensive
line. Defensive linemen will drop
into pass coverage.
All in the name of versatility.
“The more a player can do in our
system,” Butler said, “the more
we are going to move them to win
games.”
It’s called winning the battle of
attrition.
“Offenses, right now, are very,
very hard to stop,” Butler said.
“The game is directed to allowing
offenses to do things. Everything
nowadays is the speed, the speed of
the game. We’ve got to get players
on the field who are fast, too.
“We’re really trying to identify
those guys who can play multiple
roles.”
He’s already found a couple defen-
sive players who can jump from one
position to the next, including Amos
and Obeng-Agyapong — who have
the ability to switch from the sec-
ondary to linebacker every now and
then. By the end of training camp,
Obeng-Agyapong was the one who
had spent reps in practice with the
linebackers, according to players.
“Great teams have a lot of ver-
satile players,” Amos said. “That’s
what creates depth. If a safety can
play linebacker, that makes lineback-
er depth a little deeper.”
Penn State didn’t have to dig
real deep to find an ideal replace-
ment when Roof left the program to
become defensive coordinator at his
alma mater, Georgia Tech, after one
season with the Nittany Lions.
Butler, a Pennsylvania native
from Oreland, spent 20 years as an
assistant for eight different college
programs at various levels after
graduating from Catholic University
in 1994. He then wowed the Lions
with his work in the secondary last
season.
He took a defensive backfield that
graduated all four starters in 2011
and made sure it more than held its
own, turning Amos and Stephon
Morris into All-Big Ten honorable
mention selections in the process.
“He’s done an excellent job,” Penn
State coach Bill O’Brien said, not-
ing the battles between O’Brien’s
offense and Butler’s defense are
often intense on the practice field.
“He and I are very competitive
people. He’s one of the best coaches
I’ve ever been around. He’s a quick-
minded guy, he’s tough. He’s an
excellent coach with, really, a very
bright future.”
He also knows the defensive
system Roof put in place last year.
Butler worked as a linebackers
coach when Roof was the defensive
coordinator for Minnesota’s Insight
Bowl team of 2008.
That familiarity was important
to Penn State’s returning defensive
players, who would rather build
on their success during last year’s
8-4 finish instead of changing the
scheme drastically.
“Slightly,” Obeng-Agyapong said.
“But you can’t even tell the differ-
ence, a few tweaks here and there.
The way we run the defense, we run
in terms of concepts. It’s pretty easy
in that sense. It’s good for the team.”
It’ll be even better in the coming
years, Butler suggests, when Penn
State’s able to find more defensive
wplayers who can pounce around
from one position to the next.
“We need guys who can think and
adapt and do certain things,” Butler
said. “There are certain things we
look for in recruits, guys who can
understand coverages. In football,
they do stuff we’re not prepared for
and you need to have answers. We’re
not going to run a system that’s very
basic. We need kids who can think
like us and adapt within a game.”
Now that’s something a coach can
really get excited about.
With a few years of frus-
tration behind him, Zwinak
launched himself right into
an Illini defender at the
goal line, tearing through
him like a paper banner on
the run out to a high school
game.
“When we play football,”
Zwinak said, “we want to
hit.”
And Zwinak certainly
hits.
“Like a Mack truck,”
backfield mate Bill Belton
pronounced during Zwinak’s
breakthrough sophomore
season in 2012.
This was what was
expected of him as the
nation’s consensus top-rated
fullback coming out of high
school in Maryland.
But his sudden rise as
Penn State’s top tailback
came because Zwinak has
proven to be much more
than just a bulldozer on the
goal line.
Yes, that physicality is the
first thing that most remem-
ber about Zwinak as he
enters 2013 as the Nittany
Lions’ starter in the back-
field. It will be his versatil-
ity, however, that keeps him
there.
“He’s faster than people
think he is,” Lions coach Bill
O’Brien said.
Ask Nebraska’s defense,
which gave him an opening
last November, only to watch
the 6-foot-1, 235-pounder
sprint untouched up the
middle of the field for a
50-yard score.
Ask opposing linebackers
who not only have struggled
to bring him down, but also
cover him out of the back-
field. Zwinak finished the
year with 20 catches, good
for fifth on the team.
It’s that kind of work ethic
that helped him stay on the
field, going from a spectator
for much of September to
joining the school’s storied
list of 1,000-yard rushers by
Thanksgiving weekend.
Add in the fact that Penn
State is starting to feel the
pangs of depth problems
created by the NCAA sanc-
tions, and keeping Zwinak
Penn State running back Zach Zwinak barely saw the field last
September, but finished the season with 1,000 yards rushing.
healthy will be critical.
Which means more reliance
on making defenders miss
instead of running each one
over.
Finding an appropriate
balance is where running
backs coach Charles London
fits in.
“I’ve been sticking to my
style, but one thing Coach
London is emphasizing
is trying to avoid bigger
hits,” Zwinak said. “That’s
to increase longevity and to
keep my body healthy the
whole season and not wear
down too early.
“Just whenever you can,
you try to make guys miss.
Big hits are going to be part
of the game. But when you
can, you make a few miss.
You avoid running into a
lineman. You avoid just bla-
tantly running into someone
when you have open field.”
Those comments came
in April just as spring prac-
tice was winding down with
O’Brien toning down the
hitting to keep his depleted
roster as healthy as possible.
Ironically, it was just
days later in the Blue-White
Game that Zwinak suffered
a wrist injury that limited
him at the start of preseason
camp.
He is in line to start and
get the bulk of the carries on
Saturday against Syracuse.
But Zwinak knows he can’t
let up with Bill Belton and
Akeel Lynch also in line to
get touches and share the
load.
“Each practice, you have
to come out and perform,”
Zwinak said. “Because any
Pete G. Wilcox | The Times Leader
given day, someone else
could get that spot. I’m for-
tunate enough to be there
now, but each day I have to
compete because they are
great players.”
Zwinak got the job in the
first place by doing just that,
barely seeing the field last
September before exploding
in October and November
to finish the year with
exactly 1,000 yards on the
ground. He even outgained
the man he replaced — Silas
Redd had 905 after transfer-
ring to USC.
Of course, there are still
some areas Zwinak would
like to improve upon this
season.
His biggest issue last
year was ball security, as
he fumbled five times, occa-
sionally drawing the ire of
O’Brien.
Zwinak is also looking
to take a few pointers from
his fellow backs on the best
ways to stay out of traffic.
“Bill and Akeel, they’re a
little more agile,” he said.
“But I’m learning. They’re
helping me out, and watch-
ing them helps teach me
how to avoid people.”
But for the most part,
Zwinak’s approach to the
game and the season will
remain the same.
“The only thing that
changed through the fall
(was) where I was on the
depth chart,” Zwinak said.
“Everything else has not
changed. Every day, I come
out and work just as hard as
I have and compete against
guys at my position. So
nothing has changed.”

Opportunity DISTRICT 2 GRADS AT PENN STATE

From page PSU 1
Valley in the first place
when he gave a verbal com-
mitment to Joe Paterno
in the summer of 2011.
So when Bill O’Brien’s
staff ultimately decided
to try and redshirt him a
year later, it was difficult
for him to handle at first.
“Yeah, absolutely it was
tough,” Lewis said. “I’m a
competitor. I want to be
on the field. I just want to
go out there and help my
team get a win.
“Obviously that was
the best decision for me,
though. And now I look
back and I’m happy I did
redshirt. I’m ready this
year.”
The biggest area he
improved on in the past
year was his route run-
ning. Lewis had last pri-
marily played receiver as a
sophomore at Valley West.
At that level, he could rely
on his talent, especially
his leaping ability, to
make up for any issues.
“Geno, he can run an
OK route and still make
a great play,” receivers
coach Stan Hixon said.
“He’s covered, but he’s
not covered, you know?
So we tell the quarterback
if it’s close … just throw it
up and let him at it.”
Against the top tal-
ent in the college ranks,
however, that isn’t always
enough.
Fortunately for him, his
experience as a quarter-
back can help him under-
stand where he needs
to be on a play and also
helps him read coverages
to adjust routes as neces-
sary.
Both player and coach
are happy with the prog-
ress he’s made heading
into his first game on
Saturday.
“Absolutely,” Lewis
said. “This year I had to
be more focused because
I know I’m getting out on
the field. I have to lower
my mistakes. my main
thing is go out there and
keep competing.
“Last year at this time,
he was just a player mak-
ing plays on athletic abil-
ity,” Hixon said. “Not
going off his fundamen-
tals. His fundamentals
have improved tremen-
dously and that’s going to
get him over the hump.”
7 Eugene “Geno” Lewis
Wyoming Valley West
Redshirt freshman wide receiver
• After redshirting in 2012, Lewis looks to be the next man in line behind starters Allen Robinson and Brandon Felder at wideout. He should see a
healthy number of snaps each game in Bill O’Brien’s diverse offense, which will look to use him in several packages.
Lewis has also been working with the return teams since last season and could be a candidate to field kickoffs at some point.
Coaches also haven’t forgotten his background as a quarterback at Valley West. Though O’Brien wasn’t huge on gadget plays in his first season, could
there be a call or two drawn up just for Lewis?
“We’ll see when the season comes,” Lewis said.
5 Nyeem Wartman
Valley View
Redshirt freshman linebacker
• Wartman has already seen the field, making an immediate impact by blocking a punt in last year’s opener to set up a score. But a knee injury in
Week 2 sidelined him for several weeks, at which point Penn State elected to keep him out so he could get a medical redshirt and keep all four years of
his eligibility.
He has a huge opportunity in 2013, manning the starting spot at weakside linebacker right from the beginning. With the Lions light on depth at the
position, Wartman figures to be on the field for much of the season.
Defensive coordinator John Butler and position coach Ron Vanderlinden both praised Wartman’s intensity and his instincts. And as Lackawanna
League players knew all too well, Wartman delivers a hit as hard as anyone.
75 Eric Shrive
West Scranton
Fifth-year senior lineman
• By Shrive’s own admission, the expectations were higher when he signed with Penn State as one of the highest-rated offensive linemen in the
country back in 2009. While classmates John Urschel, Adam Gress and Ty Howle are in line to start on Saturday, Shrive will come off the bench to spell
players at both guard and tackle.
Even still, Shrive has made great gains under the new coaching staff under the wing of offensive line coach Mac McWhorter and strength coach Craig
Fitzgerald. Shrive took a big leap before last season to see his first extended playing time in the fall, and his snaps are in line to increase in 2013.
Beyond that, Shrive has emerged as an under-the-radar leader on the squad, in part because of his tireless work with Uplifting Athletes and the
team’s Lift For Life event, personally raising more than $100,000 for kidney cancer research.
21 Brian Tomasetti
Old Forge
True freshman running back
• As Penn State battles scholarship limits imposed by NCAA sanctions, coaches have diligently combed the state for talent, hoping to entice
Pennsylvania players to come play for the Nittany Lions as “run-ons.” The appeal of playing at Beaver Stadium was huge, having attended games
there with his father, Rich Tomasetti, who also played at Penn State.
The Nittany Lions are getting one of the Lackawanna League’s best athletes from 2012, as Tomasetti set an Old Forge record by topping 1,800 yards
rushing and 30 touchdowns while leading the Blue Devils to a division title.
Selected to the Class A all-state team, Tomasetti was also an excellent defensive back, recording nine interceptions. That kind of versatility is exactly
what the Lions are looking for when recruiting non-scholarship players.

complain about any of it.
Identify a problem. Fix it.
Sanctions or no.
“We can’t stick our head in
the sand and think that every-
thing’s going to be glorious
every single day,” O’Brien
said. “We understand that
this is unprecedented.
Uncharted waters.
“But we don’t see it as
daunting. We just see it as a
challenge that nobody’s had
to go through in coaching.
And maybe we can write the
roadmap for it.”
That attitude helped keep
the program together last
summer when players were
allowed to transfer immedi-
ately and without penalty to
escape the sanctions. That
threat very nearly destroyed
the roster.
An effort spearheaded by
O’Brien and 2012 captains
Michael Mauti and Michael
Zordich stopped it from hap-
pening.
“He really kept this team
together. He’s a hell of a
football coach,” senior guard
John Urschel said. “And
we’re blessed to have him.
We wouldn’t rather have any
other football coach at Penn
State. And I mean that from
the bottom of my heart.
“That guy could have eas-
ily cut and run on us. But he
stuck with us. He’s still with
us. We’re better for it.”
Without him?
“Honestly, I can’t even
imagine that,” Urschel said.
“Because without him, I don’t
even know where we are right
now. He’s crucial in getting us
to where we are today.”
THE PLAYERS
A sign hangs high on the
wall in the coaches’ meeting
room at the Lasch Building,
positioned above the head of
the table where O’Brien sits.
WE ARE NOT
COLLECTING TALENT.
WE ARE BUILDING A
TEAM.
Good advice for any col-
lege program. Absolutely
essential for Penn State at the
moment.
For the future, it’s especial-
ly important for the Lions’
recruiting classes, the next
three of which are capped
at 15 scholarships because
of the sanctions. With those
reduced numbers, the Lions
simply can’t afford to miss on
the prospects they sign.
Now more than ever, the
focus has to be on a player’s
attitude, his work ethic and
where he’ll fit on the roster as
much as his recruiting rank-
ing.
The foundation for what
Penn State’s program must
become moving forward
has been built by the players
who elected to stay in State
College.
“A lot of people thought we
were done,” said senior line-
man Garry Gilliam, who may
have been the first player last
summer to publicly pledge
his commitment to the pro-
gram.
O’Brien is quick to down-
play his role in it all, rightfully
pointing out that the year was
salvaged primarily because
the team rebounded to win
eight of the final 10 games.
And when it came to keep-
ing the roster together, the
2012 senior class likely had
the biggest impact. Last
July, players were far more
attached to teammates than
they were to an overhauled
coaching staff.
“I don’t think people know
how much love the players
on this team have for each
other,” Urschel said. “And
how much we’d fight for each
other.”
Nothing is going to recre-
ate the exact atmosphere —
the good and the bad — as
last year. Mauti and Zordich
are both gone, as are fel-
low captains Matt McGloin,
Jordan Hill and a host of
other vocal Penn State veter-
ans.
And while the program
owes those departed leaders
a great debt, O’Brien wanted
to make sure the underclass-
men got their due credit as
well.
“The (2012 seniors), that
was a fantastic group of guys,
and they were instrumental in
keeping us together,” O’Brien
said. “But if you think about
it, where were those seniors
gonna go? They were bleed-
ing blue and white. So the
commitment from guys that
had two and three years of
eligibility left and the ‘13
recruting class, those guys
meant a ton. They came to
Penn State during a time that
will go down in history as not
the easiest of times, but also a
special time.
“Who knows where this
road’s going. But in five, six
years, if we have a champion-
ship year, we’ll always look
back at these (underclass-
men) that were a bunch of
guys got through a tough
period and what they meant
for the program.”
Players like former
Wyoming Valley Conference
star Eugene Lewis faced the
prospect of not being able to
play in a bowl game or com-
pete for a championship for
their entire careers. Lewis
and fellow District 2 alum
Nyeem Wartman were both
able to redshirt in 2012 and
will see the postseason ban
lifted should they stay for a
fifth and final season of eligi-
bility.
The key message from
O’Brien to his team is that
they can’t afford to dwell on
the past. While it’s certainly
tempting to remain bitter
about the NCAA or Jerry
Sandusky or the media, that
can’t be what drives them.
As the 2013 seniors tell
it, the love of the game and
the team has to win out over
any anger over their circum-
stances.
“It’s not an issue of us
against the world,” Urschel
said. “We’re just a football
team, full of good football
players. We love to play the
game and we love to play
each other. That’s it. And we
really love to play football.
“Football has never been
more fun for me than it was
last year. And I hope this sea-
son is even more fun. Even
more enjoyable.”
THE PROGRAM
And then there are those
cameras.
Penn State football has
changed in the past 18
months because it had no
other choice. While the fan-
base will always debate if the
changes are necessary — the
names on the uniforms inevi-
tably comes up — many of
them have been implemented
to try and combat the sanc-
tions.
Right at the top of the list
is the mostly all-access pass
Penn State gave to ESPN this
summer to follow coaches
and players through training
camp. While it would be cor-
rect to say that Joe Paterno
would never think of signing
off on that endeavor, it would
be just as correct to say that
Joe Paterno never had to
recruit players and promote
his school under the cloud of
a historic scandal.
For O’Brien’s part, to be
sure, it wasn’t an easy deci-
sion.
“I hesitated a little bit with
that,” O’Brien said. “But I
think at the end of the day, I
always think about our play-
ers. And I think we have
fantastic guys here that repre-
sent this place very well. You
can get on national TV and
have those cameras see these
guys play football for us, go
to school and are just really
great kids.
“I can’t tell you enough
what fantastic kids these guys
are. Fun to coach. And so I
thought that was a big part
of it and I hope that’s what
comes out of it.”
The series dubbed
“Training Days” began with
an hour-long special on ESPN
and portrayed O’Brien, Penn
State and its players in a very
positive light.
At the end of program,
O’Brien gave his answer to
how Penn State has managed
to stay afloat so far. And why
the players have held togeth-
er.
“When you think about
what these kids have commit-
ted to — none of these kids
have to be here right now,” he
said. “Why are they here?
“They’re here because they
care about each other.
“They’re here because they
believe in what we’re doing.
“They’re here because
when you run out of that tun-
nel in front of 108,000 fans,
that means a lot to you.
“They’re here because it’s
Penn State.”

tips may
soon be off
the table
Sandra Pedicini
Orlando Sentinel
If you’ve dined out in a big group,
chances are you had an automatic tip
tacked on to your bill.
That practice might soon go away.
Orlando, Fla.-based Darden
Restaurants may drop automatic
gratuities for tables of eight or
more at its chains including Olive
Garden, Red Lobster and LongHorn
Steakhouse.
Experts predict others will follow
suit. An Internal Revenue Service
ruling will treat automatic gratuities
Honestly,
honesty
should be the
only policy
Many of our virtues are having a rough
go of it these days. Patience has been
battered by the Internet’s lightning-quick
pace, and reality television and Facebook
have largely eviscerated humility.
Also struggling: honesty.
There are many virtues important in
the workplace, but I’m on record as plac-
ing honesty at or near the top. So it’s
particularly dispiriting to see honesty and
trustworthiness go widely disregarded,
particularly at the highest
levels of government.
On Aug. 12, the White
House released a memo

get to decide just how much to shell
out for service instead of paying a
flat amount of 15 to 20 percent.
That makes some diners happy,
including Mark Puig of Orlando. The
42-year-old, who makes a living sell-
ing on eBay, said he thinks automatic
tips allow “servers to be lazy when
they have larger tables.”
But servers say no matter how
good the service, they could end up
with less money in their pockets if
they’re stuck with a table of tight-
wads.
Automatic tipping “protects the
server in a lot of ways, because a
lot of time and energy goes into
those parties,” said David Hayden,
a Kansas City, Mo., waiter who
has written a book on tipping and
runs websites about the restaurant
industry. “There are too many times
when you can really end up in the
hole waiting on a table because they
didn’t leave an adequate tip.”
For now, Darden has dropped 18
percent automatic tipping at about
100 restaurants.
But it also has started suggesting
tip amounts on receipts. Each bill
spells out exact amounts for tips of
15, 18 and 20 percent.
Darden, the world’s largest casual-
dining restaurant company, will
decide by year’s end whether to get
rid of automatic tipping entirely.
The IRS ruling goes into effect in
January.
“We’re testing this change in an
effort to determine the best way to
preserve tips for our employees while
following the IRS’ guidance,” spokes-
man Rich Jeffers said in an email.

to a ‘Start-Up Nation’
Israeli technology
draws the attention
of many in the US
Pamela M. Prah
Stateline.org
Israel has become a popular des-
tination for U.S. governors hoping
to spur their states’ economies
by tapping into the technology
of a country some call “Start-Up
Nation.”
States with robust technology
sectors such as California, New
York and Massachusetts have
been particularly active in seeking
out business ties with Israel, but
so have less likely states such as
Delaware and New Mexico.
”Israel is an amazing source of
innovation that drives a signifi-
cant percentage of the American
economy in our most important
sectors,” said David Goodtree,
a consultant who helped orga-
nize Massachusetts Gov. Deval
Patrick’s trade mission to Israel
two years ago.
Billionaire investor Warren
Buffett has called Israel “the lead-
ing, largest and most promising
investment hub outside the United
States,” while Microsoft founder
Bill Gates has said that the “inno-
vation going on in Israel is criti-
cal to the future of the technology
business.”
Though Israel is a nation of less
than 8 million people, it has 65
companies listed on Nasdaq, more
than any other country except the
United States and Canada. In their
bestselling 2009 book, “Start-
Up Nation: The Story of Israel’s
Economic Miracle,” authors Dan
Senor and Saul Singer note that
Israel has the highest number of
startups per capita of any nation
in the world.
Senor and Singer attribute
Israel’s success to several factors,
including the social networks and
leadership training provided by
the country’s mandatory military
service; the emphasis on ques-
tioning and skepticism in Jewish
tradition; and an open immigra-
tion policy that creates a constant
influx of creativity.
Whatever the reasons for Israel’s
startup success, it has attracted a
steady flow of U.S. governors in
recent years. At least four gover-
nors have made the trip this year,
and at least 11 have visited in the
last three years. Texas Gov. Rick
Perry is planning a trip in October.
”Michigan offers tremendous
opportunities to Israel’s many
startup tech companies interested
in bringing their products to mar-
ket,” Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder,
a Republican, said earlier this
summer during his trade mission
to Israel.
In many cases, these efforts
have borne fruit:
• Massachusetts recently
announced a second round of
state grants to fund joint projects
between Massachusetts compa-
nies and Israeli firms, part of a
partnership formed in 2011 to
support innovation involving life
sciences, clean energy and water
technology.
• As part of a $300 million
deal with the Israeli government,
New York’s College of Nanoscale
Science and Engineering in
Albany is opening its doors to
Israeli companies and universities.
• Maryland announced in April
that four Israel high-tech com-
panies are opening offices in the
state. It also announced a new
partnership between Maryland
and Israel to support projects
involving cybersecurity and life
sciences.
• Florida included $1 million in
its budget this year, to be matched
by Israel, for joint Israel-Florida
aerospace research projects.
See START | 2D
In that memo, President
Barack Obama writes that all of the
group’s findings will come to him through
the national intelligence director. That
would be James Clapper, who is better
known as “the guy who lied to Congress
about whether Americans are being spied
on.”
To be clear, Clapper was asked in March
whether the NSA collects “any type of
data at all on millions or hundreds of mil-
lions of Americans.” He said, “No,” and
then added that data might be collected
“inadvertently” but not willingly.
That is what we in the honesty business
would call a lie. And now the man who
discredited himself is the conduit through
which this presumably important review
will be delivered to the president.
You may as well stamp that report “pre-
distrusted.”
Thanks to this ham-handed decision,
we have another high-profile example of
dishonesty not being punished and trust-
worthiness being degraded. And sadly,
this behavior trickles down.
“There is a prevailing cultural sentiment
that lying is OK — the fact that everyone
is doing it and that it’s necessary to get
ahead,” said Nicholas Pearce, a clinical
assistant professor of management and
organizations at the Kellogg School of
Management at Northwestern University.
“The absence of honesty and integrity
can have particularly paralyzing effects on
individuals, teams and organizations, and
even society.”
Michael Josephson, founder and presi-
dent of the Josephson Institute of Ethics
in Los Angeles, said there are dozens of
examples of high-profile lies — in busi-
ness and in politics — that have gone
virtually unpunished.

Your offIce coach:

It’s manager’s place to define job roles

Q: I have found myself in a
strange situation at work. After
receiving a promotion, I discov-
ered that many of the duties in
my new job description were
already being performed by
“Paul,” an older employee who
has been here for a long time.
Paul is so involved with my
responsibilities that I’m begin-
ning to feel unnecessary.
For example, my job descrip-
tion states that I am to recruit,
hire and supervise our student
interns. But when I tried to give
projects to the students, Paul
insisted that he is supposed to
approve their assignments and
monitor their performance. This
makes absolutely no sense.
When I tried to reclaim some
of my territory, Paul immediately
became angry and uncoopera-
tive. Our supervisor seems to
understand my frustration, but
so far she has done nothing to
solve the problem. How can I get
Paul to back off and stop doing
my work?
A: Before getting sucked into
an unwise territorial dispute,
take a moment to consider Paul’s
perspective. If he has performed
these duties for many years,
you may seem like an interloper
who is trying to steal his job. So
you need to understand that the
blame for this confusion lies not
with Paul, but with management.
When roles are poorly defined,
conflicts almost always arise.
Before your promotion, your
supervisor should have anticipat-
ed this problem and taken steps
to differentiate your position
from Paul’s. Her failure to do so
has created a predictable tug-of-
war which could easily have been
avoided.
Since your boss has continued
to abdicate her leadership role,
you may have to take the initia-
tive to resolve this issue. Start by
listing both your responsibilities
and Paul’s, then review this sum-
mary with your supervisor and
identify areas of overlap. Instead
of lobbying to “reclaim your terri-
tory,” ask if she will invite Paul to
collaborate with you on creating
two distinct job descriptions.
If this process succeeds, you
may still not have precisely the
job you want, but you will at
least have a role that everyone
understands. After all, if you’re
confused about who does what,
just think how those poor interns
must feel.
Q: Our company recently
merged with a larger business, so
I know that some departments
will eventually be combined and
positions will be eliminated. I
had been planning to ask my
boss about a promotion, but with
all the uncertainty created by
the merger, I’m afraid this might
not be a good idea. What do you
think?
A: If your primary objective is
to survive the merger, then you
want to be in the position which
will be most essential to the com-
bined company. Depending on
the specific circumstances, that
could be either the higher-level
or lower-level job.
If predicting the better choice
is difficult, consider seeking
advice from your human resourc-
es manager. You should keep in
mind, however, that no one has
the power to foretell exactly what
may happen in the wake of a
merger.

New York’s trade with Israel totaled
more than $4.5 billion last year, the
most of any state. California exports
ranked second with more than $2.7
billion, U.S. Commerce Department
figures show. The third-ranked state
was New Mexico, with $1.3 billion in
exports, making Israel the state’s larg-
est foreign trading partner.
The strong and somewhat surpris-
ing connection between Israel and New
Mexico is due to Intel Corp., the world’s
largest semiconductor chip maker. The
company is headquartered in Santa
Clara, Calif., but it has a facility in Rio
Rancho, N.M. that employs 3,500 work-
ers, and several manufacturing and
development operations in Israel that
employ 7,800 people.
Water technology is another impor-
tant trade area between New Mexico
and Israel, both of which have desert cli-
mates, said Jon Barela, secretary of eco-
nomic development for New Mexico.
Some of the defense-related technolo-
gies coming out of New Mexico’s Los
Alamos National Laboratory also hold
a “tremendous amount of potential” for
doing business with Israel, Barela said.
While increasing exports to Israel is
important for many governors, the big-
ger prize for some is to lure Israeli start-
ups to their states. Israelis ranked sec-
ond, behind Indians, in starting semi-
conductor firms in the United States
between 2006 and 2012, and tied for
second with Canadians and Romanians
for the most startups in the United
States in the computer and communica-
tions fields, according to a report from
the Kauffman Foundation of St. Louis,
which researches entrepreneurship.
Some 200 Israeli startups are esti-
mated to be located in New York City,
said David Bratslavsky, executive direc-
tor of the U.S. Israel Business Council
in Manhattan.
Silicon Valley is also a favorite des-
tination, but Israeli-founded firms
made up only 3 percent of the engi-
neering and technology companies in
California’s large market between 2006
and 2012. By contrast, Israeli firms
comprise 16 percent of the tech total
in Massachusetts, second only to firms
from India, according to the Kaufmann
Foundation.
In Massachusetts in 2009, nearly
100 companies with Israeli founders
or Israeli-licensed technologies gener-
ated $2.4 billion in direct revenue and
employed nearly 6,000 state residents,
according to a report commissioned by
the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of
Greater Boston. Many of these firms
specialize in information technol-
ogy, security software storage, medical
devices and biotech.
U.S. states are trying to capitalize
on the fact that Israeli companies must
globalize early to succeed, since their
home market is so small. Plus, Israel
doesn’t have a stable regional market,
since many of its Arab neighbors refuse
to do business with it.

Stocks Over CDs
Q After recently graduating
from college, I’m employed
and contributing to my workplace
401(k) plan. Should I invest addi-
tional money in a CD, too? —
G.J., Flagstaff, Ariz.
A For most young people, CDs
are not ideal. Even the best
CD rates these days (which you
can look up at bankrate.com) are
puny. If you know you won’t need
a sum of money for at least five
years (and to be more conservative,
10 years), it’s likely to grow more
briskly in stocks.
Five-year CDs, for example,
top out around 2 percent in interest
these days, and that’s the maxi-
mum. On a $10,000 investment, all
you can hope for is roughly $200.
Two-year CDs offer only about 1
percent, or $100.
But tobacco giant Philip
Morris International was recently
offering a dividend yield of 3.8
percent, which would give you
close to $400. Procter & Gamble’s
yield is around 3 percent, while
utility company National Grid
yields more than 5 percent, and
even Apple’s yield has approached
3 percent.
Dividends are never guaranteed,
but many companies have been
regularly paying — and raising —
them for decades. Plus, on top of
the dividend, the stock price of
healthy and growing companies
will increase over time, too,
delivering additional wealth.

Q If I want to switch brokerages,
can I have my entire portfolio

ANALYSIS

CVS thinks $50 is enough reward In some fields, good economic

for giving up healthcare privacy
David Lazarus
Los Angeles Times
Since February, CVS
Caremark has been pushing
its pharmacists to enroll cus-
tomers in a prescription-drug
rewards program.
The benefit to customers
is the opportunity to earn up
to $50 a year in store credits
that can be used to buy sham-
poo, toothpaste or other
products.
The benefit to CVS is per-
suading pharmacy custom-
ers, through questionable
means, to give up federal
privacy safeguards for their
medical information and per-
mitting the company to share
people’s drug purchases with
others.
“It’s very troubling,”
said Paul Stephens, direc-
tor of policy and advo-
cacy for the Privacy Rights
Clearinghouse in San Diego.
“Your medical information
is very sensitive,” he said.
“Pharmaceutical companies
obviously would want to
know what you’re taking and
get you to buy more expen-
sive medicines.”
Walgreens and Rite-Aid
have their own rewards pro-
grams for prescription drugs.
But officials at each company
said they don’t require cus-
tomers to relinquish federal
privacy protections.
CVS announced Feb. 4
that it was expanding its
ExtraCare rewards program
to include prescription drug
purchases. The new pro-

OUR OPINION: HIGHER EDUCATION

College students can

prove pundits wrong
TO: New and returning colleges
students
FROM: The “media”
RE: Your future.
Dear consumer of Higher
Education, two words: Defy them.
People seem to have you all fig-
ured out.
ACT, the folks who test to see
if you’re ready for advanced class
work, say you’re not. According to
its annual report, 31 percent of high
school graduates weren’t ready for
any college work in English, sci-
ence, math or reading, and the
other 69 percent met standards in
at least one of the subjects.
Not only does ACT say you’re
not ready to study at the college
level, you’re studying the wrong
stuff, showing a pronounced lack
of interest in the five fastest-grow-
ing industries most likely to be
hunting for candidates with col-
lege experience.
On the other hand, a new survey
by the consulting firm Millennial
Branding and beyond.com, says
school alma maters just get better
each year, and be prepared for col-
lege or a career when they gradu-
ate. Oops.
Then there’s President Barack
Obama’s bus tour touting plans to
make college more affordable and
assure you get a bigger bang for
your educational buck. So far, it
feels more like warm and fuzzies
for future generations than hard
facts sure to help you.
These and many others have you
figured out, or know what you need,
or what you should and shouldn’t
want, or should and shouldn’t
study, or decided to change things
after you already set your path and
scheduled this year’s coursework
without consulting you.
So defy them.
That doesn’t mean deliberately
making choices contrary to their
predictions for the sake of being
contrary. It means exceed their
expectations, confound their anal-
yses, outdo anything they antici-

your generation has a habit of

for the employer matching your
career goals rather than acqui-

pate.
If you feel the way they handled
your education under No Child
Left Behind was wrong, give input
to those making decisions on how
to correct the errors. They didn’t
ask, but you don’t have to wait.
If you’re confident in your field
of study and plotted future, take a
hard-nosed look at what you plan
to do compared to what the indus-
try prognosticators say you should
do, and either switch plans or take
extra steps to make sure you suc-
ceed against their expectations.
As to the cost and value of your
education, spend smart, work hard
and push for the best from your
professors without disrespect-
ing them. When push comes to
shove, the cost and value of your
education lies in your hands, not
Obama’s.
Don’t ignore the predictions and

No, they have come to see Lee
Daniels’ “The Butler,” the fiction-
alized story of a White House ser-
in this country. It lives in books, yes,
but given that so many of us regard
reading as punishment and chore,
that’s like saying it lives on Mars. Nor
has Hollywood ever had much interest
in telling that Truth and on the rare
occasions it does, it pretties it up with
so many Disneyesque evasions, dulls
its hard edges with so much buttery
compromise, that it hardly looks like
itself.
This absence of The Truth has filled
the ether with lies, cowardly, face-
saving fabrications that ignore How
Things Were and allow some of us to
pretend How Things Are sprang fully
formed from the indolence of black
mothers, the wantonness of black
daughters, the fecklessness of black
fathers, the thuggery of black sons,
the blameless reactions of lawmakers,
judges, employers, cops — and neigh-
borhood watchmen.
So what makes “The Butler” remark-

America, someone says, turns a
blind eye to what we do to our own
people, yet has the nerve to look out
on the rest of the world and judge. And
that, too, is The Truth.
We are guilty of ignorance in this
country. Worse, ignorance did not just
happen. It was chosen as an alterna-
tive to dealing with what we did and
do, acknowledging the crimes that
made us great. We ought not say those
things, a woman once said, because
doing so is not “polite.”
But when what happened to you is
not allowed to be acknowledged, it
invalidates you. It makes you as invis-
ible as a butler standing in an Oval
Office waiting to serve while other
men debate your fate.

What do you want for your community?

Close enough.
A Special Emergency Response
Team allegedly knocked the struc-
ture off its foundation with an
armored vehicle, gassed it with the
family dog still caged inside and
broke most every door and window.
What on earth merited this kind
of scorched-earth response? A gang
of bomb-tossing anarchists? An
officer-involved shooting? A trained
sniper holed up on the second floor?
According to a lawsuit filed
recently in Dauphin County court,
it was a woman responding to a
search for her estranged husband
by opening her front door, which
ended up broken anyway.
Well, then. This estranged hus-
band must have been one bad egg.
Police don’t do this kind of thing
chasing your average alleged crimi-
nal. Except the man was wanted on
charges of solicitation to perjury,
obstruction of law and witness
intimidation.
Well, then. They must have been
really hot on his tail, and really,
really, really afraid he was going
give them the slip. Except, at the
time his house was being smashed,
he was in Annapolis, Md., with
his lawyer, who said he had previ-
ously informed police that the man
planned to turn himself in upon
charges being filed.
The woman had reportedly just
showered. She answered the door
in a towel to find guns pointed at
her. She consented to the search
and was called a liar when she
told troopers her husband was not
home. They threatened her with
obstruction of justice.
The estranged husband’s lawyer
said police didn’t have a search
warrant when they first showed up
but later obtained one by neglect-
ing to tell a judge that the woman
consented to the search. According
to the lawsuit, most of the damage
an ambush — from an otherwise
empty home.
Well, then.
The state Attorney General’s
Office is defending the state against
the woman’s lawsuit, which is
disappointing. We hope there is
something Titanically important
we don’t know, because there is no
scenario in which one man wanted
for an apparently nonviolent crime
necessitates a special emergency
response, with its associated dis-
assembly of private property, not
to mention the shredding of nice-
ties such as the Constitution and
its various protective amendments
that prevent these sorts of things.
Unfortunately, details of those
extenuating circumstances, doubt-
ful though we find their existence,
likely wouldn’t come to light even
were they present. Another side
effect of a militarized domestic
police state (aside from increas-
ingly over-the-top, wildly dispro-
portionate responses) is an infor-
mation vacuum.
The woman wants — get this —
only $100,000 to compensate for
her home’s destruction. We can’t
help it. We’ve got the image of Mike
Myers as Dr. Evil in the Austin
Powers movie holding the govern-
ment hostage for a ransom of … “one
MILLION dollars,” in a age where
billions are routinely bandied about
and spent by your government on
things like highly advanced police
equipment and weaponry.
In this case, unlike Dr. Evil’s,
the state ought to pay up, move on
and find a better way — a far bet-
ter way — to assess and neutralize
the threat posed by a caged dog, a
12-year-old and a woman wearing a
towel.

U.S.choices in Egypt:
Slim still beats zero
Egypt today is a zero-sum game.
We’d have preferred there
be a democratic alternative.
Unfortunately, there is none. The
choice is binary: the country will be
ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood or
by the military.
Perhaps the military
should have waited
three years for the
intensely unpopular
Mohamed Morsi to
be voted out of office.
But Gen. Abdel Fatah
al-Sissi seems to have Charles
calculated that by Krauthammer
then there would be
no elections — as Contributing
in Gaza, where the Columnist
Palestinian wing of
the Brotherhood, Hamas, elected in
2006, established a one-man-one-
vote-one-time dictatorship.
What’s the U.S. to do? Any
response demands two consider-
ations: (a) moral, i.e., which out-
come offers the better future for
Egypt, and (b) strategic, i.e., which
outcome offers the better future for
U.S. interests and those of the free
world.
As for Egypt’s future, the
Brotherhood offered nothing but
incompetent, intolerant, increas-
ingly dictatorial rule.
In one year, Morsi managed to
squander 85 years of Brotherhood
prestige garnered in opposition — a
place from which one can promise
the moon — by persecuting jour-
nalists and activists, granting him-
self the unchallenged power to rule
by decree, enshrining a sectarian
Islamist constitution and systemati-
cally trying to seize the instruments
of state power.
As if that wasn’t enough, after its
overthrow the Brotherhood showed
itself to be the party that, when
angry, burns churches.
The military, brutal and bloody, is
not a very appealing alternative. But
it does matter what the Egyptian
people think. The anti-Morsi dem-
onstrations were the largest in
recorded Egyptian history. Revolted
by Morsi’s betrayal of a revolu-
tion intended as a new opening for
individual dignity and democracy,
the protesters explicitly demanded
Morsi’s overthrow. And the vast
majority seem to welcome the mili-
tary repression aimed at abolishing
the Islamist threat. It’s their only
hope, however problematic, for an
eventual democratic transition.
And which alternative better
helps secure U.S. strategic inter-
ests? The list is long: (1) a secure
Suez Canal, (2) friendly relations
with the U.S., (3) continued alliance
with the pro-American Gulf Arabs
and Jordanians, (4) retention of the
Israel-Egypt peace treaty, (5) coop-
eration with the U.S. on terrorism,
which in part involves (6) isolating
Brotherhood-run Gaza.
Every one of which is jeopardized
by Brotherhood rule.
What, then, should be our poli-
cy? The administration is right to
deplore excessive violence and urge

reconciliation. But let’s not fool our-
selves into believing this is possible
in any near future. Sissi crossed
his Rubicon with the coup. It will
either succeed or not. To advocate a
middle way is to invite endless civil
strife.
The best outcome would be a
victorious military magnanimously
offering, at some later date, to rein-
tegrate the more moderate elements
of what’s left of the Brotherhood.
But for now, we should not be cut-
ting off aid, civilian or military, as
many in Congress are demanding. It
will have no effect, buy no influence
and win no friends on either side of
the Egyptian divide.
We should instead be urging
the quick establishment of a new
Cabinet of technocrats, rapidly
increasing its authority as the sol-
diers gradually return to their bar-
racks.
Generals are very bad at gov-
ernance. Give the reins to people
who actually know something. And
charge them with reviving the econ-
omy and preparing the foundations
for a democratic transition — most
importantly, drafting a secular con-
stitution that protects the rights
of women and minorities.The final
step on that long democratic path
should be elections.
After all, we’ve been here.
Through a half-century of cold war,
we repeatedly faced precisely the
same dilemma: choosing the lesser
evil between totalitarian (in that
case, communist) and authoritarian
(usually military) rule.
We generally supported the vari-
ous militaries in suppressing the
communists. That was routinely pil-
loried as a hypocritical and immoral
betrayal of our alleged allegiance
to liberty. But in the end, it proved
pen?
Regarding Egypt, rather than
emoting, we should be thinking:
what’s best for Egypt, for us and
for the possibility of some eventual
democratic future.
Under the Brotherhood, such a
possibility is zero. Under the gener-
als, slim.
Slim trumps zero.

YOUR OpINION: LETTERS TO EdITOR

An open letter
to Kathleen Kane
Your decision not to defend
Pennsylvania’s Defense of
Marriage Act because you
support same-sex marriage is
very troubling.
First, your position vio-
lates the natural law written
by God into the hearts of all
people. How can any person
not recognize that the bod-
ies and temperament of men
and women complement each
other and are designed to be
fruitful and nurture children?
A same-sex couple frustrates
the nature of the human race
by being sterile. While we
acknowledge the existence
of same-sex attractions, we
cannot condone ignoring the
natural law by changing the
definition of marriage.
Second, you took an
oath to uphold the laws
of Pennsylvania when you
were sworn into office. Your
announcement that you
will not defend against the
DOMA lawsuit and uphold
the Defense of Marriage Act
passed in 1996 is a violation of
that oath. If you find yourself,
as Attorney General, unable
to enforce certain laws, you
should resign your office or be
impeached.
Third, you set a bad exam-
ple to all Pennsylvanians
by thumbing your nose at a
law you do not like. Many
Pennsylvanians do not like
the taxes paid to the com-
monwealth because they do
not agree with some of the
projects they are spent upon.
Should they take your exam-
ple as a commonwealth officer
and refuse to pay some or all
of their taxes?

Armed guards not
always enough
Contrary to the beliefs of
the various council members
quoted in the newspaper, hav-
ing an armed guard at meet-
ings will not deter someone
bent on vengeance, as the
Ross Township shooting sus-
pect appeared to be, especially
if he expected to be killed.The
carnage there might have been
cut shorter if someone had a
license to carry a concealed
weapon and was properly
trained on using it.
Do you really think a ban on
carrying weapons into a place
would have stopped the shoot-
er? In those instances they’re
only letting the bad weapons
in and keeping the good ones
out.
Outlaws, terrorists and
the mentally disturbed walk
among us every day, and when
they decide to act, there’s not
much that can be done to stop
them — not initially, anyhow.
It was a good thing that
there were at least two brave
men in the room who coordi-
nated their moves and over-
powered him. Otherwise, had
they followed out the crawl-
ing reporter, the others there
would have been doomed.

Eulogy made case
against euthanasia
Recently there was a
memorial service for the
late Pennsylvania Gov. Bill
Scranton. His son, Bill, gave a
fitting eulogy.
He said that his father,
and mother who suffers
from dementia, resided at a
California nursing facility.
Each day after lunch, his dad,
at age 95, would go to his
wife’s room and sit with her
until bedtime. Sometimes they
would speak with one another,
other times they would just be
with one another.
Gov. Scranton told his son
Bill that “these were the happi-
est days of his life”! This came
from a man who was one of the
most active and wealthiest in
society.
Today, at a time when peo-
ple speak so willingly of allow-
ing the evil of euthanasia,
the governor’s words speak
volumes about the true worth
and dignity of every human
life. Who among us is qualified
to decide the quality of life of
another? May our legislators,
our citizens, open their ears,
their hearts, to these words of
a 95-year-old former governor:
“These are the happiest days
of my life.”
Christopher Calore
Wilkes-Barre
Voicing gratitude
for bazaar success
Many years ago, popular
radio personality “Little Bill
Phillips” acclaimed us for being
“The Valley with a heart.” That
is absolutely true, even today.
The Pittston area, and most
especially the city of Pittston,
has become so revitalized that
we are fast becoming “the heart
of the Valley.” The Pittston
Tomato Festival and the reju-
venated downtown are signs of
this reinvigoration.
This was demonstrated by
the tremendous support given
to the 14th annual bazaar for
the parish community of St.
John the Evangelist. Thousands
of people came to enjoy the
delicious food, the marvelous
entertainment, the incredible
booths — and the hospitality
and welcome of our parishio-
ners.
We extend our sincere grati-
tude to all who so generously
participated in supporting our
parish’s outreach to the needy
of the area and our commit-
ment to our youth and family
ministries. May God bless us all
with joyful and loving hearts.

Pastor, St. John the
Evangelist
