ROSEVILLE, MICH.
Hoffa probe is a bust
P
olice investigating a claim that
former Teamsters boss Jimmy
Hoffa is buried in a suburban De-
troit backyard say testing on soil
samples shows no traces of human
decomposition.
The test results were announced
Tuesday. Police have taken down
the yellow tape roping off the en-
trance to the Roseville yard.
Soil samples were removed Fri-
day after officials drilled through
the floor of a shed north of Detroit.
Roseville police Chief James Berlin
has said the ground would be exca-
vated if decomposition were found
in the samples.
Hoffa last was seen July 30, 1975,
outside a restaurant in Oakland
County, more than 30 miles to the
west.

Shell offers plant money
Shell Oil Co. is offering to make
payments to replace lost local taxes
if a multibillion-dollar petrochem-
ical plant is built in western Penn-
sylvania.
The Beaver County Commission-
ers say in a statement issued Mon-
day that Shell has offered to make
the maximum payments-in-lieu-of-
taxes if it builds the plant, which
would convert natural gas into
other consumer and industrial
products such as plastics.
State officials have offered Shell
significant tax breaks if it builds
the plant, but that deal could have
squeezed the local school board
and government of revenue.
HARRISBURG
Tax cuts for volunteers
Volunteer firefighters and other
first-responders could be rewarded
with special tax breaks under bill
approved by the state House of
Representatives.
The House approved the mea-
sure 195-to-0 on Tuesday.
If approved by the Senate, the
legislation would authorize local
governments to provide credits on
earned-income and property taxes
for volunteers serving as firefight-
ers, emergency medical workers
and other first responders.
The bills main sponsor, Rep.
John Hornaman, says the tax
breaks would help reverse a down-
ward trend in the number of volun-
teers who many Pennsylvanians
rely on for prompt assistance in
fires and other emergencies.
The Erie County Democrat says
volunteers provide $6 billion worth
of services statewide.
WASHINGTON
Border agent is killed
A U.S. Border Patrol agent was
killed and another wounded in a
shooting near the U.S.-Mexico
border in Arizona, the Department
of Homeland Security said Tues-
day.
The agents were shot while
patrolling in Naco, Ariz., at about
1:50 a.m. MST Tuesday, according
to the Border Patrol.
The wounded agent was airlifted
to a hospital after being shot in the
ankle and buttocks, according to
Homeland Security.
Authorities have not identified
the agents who were assigned to
the Naco, Ariz., station about 100
miles southeast of Tucson.
The last U.S. Border Patrol agent
fatally shot on duty was Brian
Terry, who was killed in a shootout
with Mexican bandits near the
border in December 2010.

Popes butler says hes innocent
Pope Benedict XVI, flanked by his
butler, Paolo Gabiele, delivers his
blessing in May in St. Peters
Square. Gabiele is on trial for
allegedly stealing the popes pri-
vate correspondence and giving it
to a journalist. On Tuesday he
denied handing over the docu-
ments but admitted copying them.
WASHINGTON Small teams of special
operations forces arrived at American embas-
sies throughout North Africa in the months
before militants launchedthe fiery attackthat
killed the U.S. ambassador in Libya. The sol-
diers mission: Set up a network that could
quickly strike a terrorist target or rescue a
hostage.
The White House signed off a year ago on
the plan to build the newmilitary counterter-
ror task force in the region, and the advance
teams have beenthere for sixmonths, accord-
ing to three U.S. counterterror officials and a
former intelligence official. All spoke only on
condition of anonymity because they were
not authorized to discuss the strategy publi-
cly.
The effort indicates that the administration
has beenworriedfor some time about a grow-
ing threat posed by al-Qaida and its offshoots
in North Africa. But officials say the military
organization was too new to respond to the
attack in Benghazi, where the administration
nowbelieves armed al-Qaida-linked militants
surrounded the lightly guarded U.S. com-
pound, set it on fire and killed Ambassador
Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Republicans have questioned whether the
Obama administration has been hiding key
information or hasnt known what happened
in the immediate aftermath of the attack.
They are using those questions in the final
weeks before the U.S. elections as anopportu-
nity to assail President Barack Obama on for-
eign policy, an area where he has held clear
leads in opinion polls since the killing of Osa-
ma bin Laden in 2011.
On Tuesday, leaders of a congressional
committee saidrequests for addedsecurity at
the consulate in Benghazi were repeatedly
denied. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton has said that security was increased
for the anniversary of Sept. 11 and was ade-
quate.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK U.S. births fell for
the fourth year in a row, the govern-
ment reported Wednesday, with ex-
perts calling it more proof that the
weak economy has continued to
dampen enthusiasm for having chil-
dren.
But there may be a silver lining:
The decline in 2011 was just 1 percent
not as sharp a fall-off as the 2 to 3
percent drop seen in other recent
years.
It may be that the effect of the re-
cession is slowly coming to an end,
saidCarl Haub, a senior demographer
with the Population Reference Bu-
reau, a Washington, D.C.-based re-
search organization.
Most striking in the new report
were steep declines in Hispanic birth
rates and a new low in teen births.
Hispanics have been disproportion-
ately affected by the flagging econo-
my, experts say, and teen birth rates
have been falling for 20 years.
Falling births is a relatively new
phenomenon in this country. Births
had been on the rise since the late
1990s and hit an all-time high of more
than 4.3 million in 2007.
But fewer than 4 million births
were counted last year, according to
the new report. Thats about 360,000
fewer kids born than in 2007 equiv-
alent tothe populationof Miami prop-
er. Its also the lowest number of
births since 1998.
Among the people who study this
sort of thing, the flagging economy
has been seen as the primary explana-
tion.
The economy officially was in a re-
cession from December 2007 until
June 2009. But well into 2011, polls
showmost Americans remained gloo-
my, citing anemic hiring, a depressed
housing market and other factors.
The report by the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention is a first
glimpse at 2011 birth certificate data
from state health departments. More
analysis comes later but officials dont
expect the numbers to change much.
Early data for 2012 is not yet avail-
able.

PITTSTON A man wanted for
allegedly skipping a court hear-
ing on drunken-driving charges
was captured after a vehicle pur-
suit that ended in a crash Monday
night.
State police at Wyoming arrest-
ed George Arnold
Finnan, 43, last
known address as
Cornelia Street,
Pittston, after a
foot chase at
about 11:15 p.m.
Troopers tried
to stop Finnan af-
ter he allegedly
was seen driving erratically.
Finnan drove away and struck
an occupied vehicle on Main
Street, Pittston before crashing
into a guide rail near the Water
Street Bridge, state police said.
Finnan abandoned the vehicle
and fled.
State police said they found
marijuana and drug parapherna-
lia at the scene.
Finnan was arraigned Tuesday
on three counts of driving under
the influence of alcohol, three
counts of driving under the in-
fluence of a controlled sub-
stance and one count each of
fleeing or attempting to elude
police, accidents involving dam-
age, possession of marijuana,
possession of drug parapherna-
lia and six traffic violations. Bail
was set at $5,000 unsecured.
Finnan remains jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facil-
ity on an arrest warrant issued by
a judge on May 2 when he failed
to appear in court.
According to court records,
Finnan was scheduled to plead
guilty to driving under the influ-
ence and possessing drug par-
aphernalia, charges that
stemmed from a traffic stop by
Forty Fort police on Sept. 4,
2011.

HANOVERTWP. Twodays
after suffering a gunshot
wound during a fight at Hanov-
er Village, Ashley police allege,
Sean McPhail shot another
man outside a tavern on July
30.
Ashley police extradited
McPhail, 26, on Tuesday from
Staten Island, N.Y., where he
was captured on Sept. 4.
Police allege McPhail was
the gunman who opened fire
behind the Pour House tavern
on North Main Street, striking
Shawn Reilly, 31, in the stom-
ach.
McPhail was arraigned by
District Judge Joseph Halesey
on charges of aggravated as-
sault, simple assault, reckless
endangerment, possession of a
weapon and criminal conspir-
acy. He was jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Fa-
cility for lack of $300,000 bail.
Twodays beforetheshooting
outside the Ashley tavern,
McPhail was one of two men
shot during a melee involving
15 to 20 people near the en-
trance to Hanover Village on
July 28, police said.
Township police said
McPhail and Khauri McPhail,
25, left the scene after suffering
gunshot wounds and arrived at
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital.
They were transported to Geis-
inger Wyoming Valley Medical
Center in Plains Township,
where Sean McPhail was re-
leased from the emergency
room.
No charges have been filed
related to the shooting at Ha-
nover Village.
I didnt shoot nobody,
McPhail said after his arraign-
ment.
Ashley police also charged
Travis Humphrey, 24, for his al-
leged role in the shooting out-
side the tavern.
According to the criminal
complaint:
Two women celebrating a
friends 30th birthday in the
Pour House told police
McPhail and Humphrey
bought themdrinks and played
pool withthem. As the bartend-
er announced last call, McPhail
and Humphrey left, encounter-
ing Reilly in the rear parking
lot.
Reilly claimed he heard one
of the men say, Pop him, be-
fore he was shot, the complaint
alleges.
Reilly was treated and re-
leased from Geisinger Wyom-
ing Valley.

on July 30.
Wyoming County officials have agreed to
loan an election office manager to Luzerne
County through the Nov. 6 election, Luzerne
County Manager Robert Lawton said Tues-
day.
Luzerne County was in a bind because in-
terimelectiondirector TomPizano unexpect-
edly retired last week.
Marisa Crispell-Barber, Wyoming Countys
voter education director and voting machine
administrator, will start work here as early as
this week temporarily supervising Luzerne
Countys election office, Lawton said.
Luzerne County must pay her current com-
pensation of $22.96 per hour plus benefits,
Lawton said.
Crispell-Barber, a Luzerne County resi-
dent, will be stationed here full-time through
completion of post-election requirements, he
said.
Lawton thanked Wyoming County officials
for their cooperation.
Wyoming County is able to cover the elec-
tion without Crispell-Barber because it has a
full-time election director, though it has re-
tained the right to recall Crispell-Barber if an
emergency arises, Lawton said.
Were very appreciative of Wyoming
Countys assistance.
Its good news for the
department and the voters. It ensures we will
protect the franchise, Lawton said.
Crispell-Barber has worked in Wyoming
Countys election office for eight years, he
said.
The Pennsylvania Department of States
election bureau also has agreed to work close-
ly with Luzerne County and provide techni-
cal support through Nov. 6, Lawton said.
Interviews for a permanent county election
director are expected to wrap up this week.
In an email to county council last week,
Lawton said county election employees and
other staff providing assistance are quali-
fied, capable and dedicated professionals.
The manner in which our staff rose to the
primary elections challenges confounded
those who believed that success depended on
the presence of a single individual, Lawton
wrote.
I have no doubt they will continue to merit
our respect and look forward to bringing
them new, permanent leadership.
Pizano, who started his retirement Mon-
day, was interimclerk of courts and agreed to
add election bureau oversight to his duties in
April, after Leonard Piazza was terminated as
election director. Pizano has agreed to advise
any workers assigned to oversee the election
office, officials said.

turbance outside the Gentle-
mans Club 10 in Wilkes-Barre

Township police were patroll-
ing near the parking lot at Gen-
tlemans Club 10 when they
heard a man yelling.
Police said the man was be-
ing escorted from the building
by security personnel and then
began punching his brothers
vehicle in the parking lot.
An officer told the man, later
identified as Raynes, to calm
down. Raynes then cursed at
the officer and threatened him.
PolicesaidRaynes was bleed-
ing from his mouth and nose
and smelled of alcohol when
they tried to take him into cus-
tody outside the club on March
2.
Police said that once Raynes
was inside a police cruiser, he
began hitting his head on the
windows and kicking the win-
dows, yelling he was going to
(expletive) break these!
Police said they tried to re-
strain Raynes feet when he
kicked at an officers face.
Police said Raynes then spit
blood at one of them three
times, and the spit hit the offi-
cer in the face.

ched by this wonderful man.

YATESVILLE A verbal rep-
rimand of a teacher for belit-
tling a student, followed by a
union letter to teachers that
spoke of parent inadequacies,
prompted a formal statement
from the Pittston Area School
Board issued through Superin-
tendent Michael Garzella.
The unnamed teacher was
formally reprimanded accord-
ing to union contract after tell-
ing a student Its day 13 and I
cant stand you already. The
exchangewas recordedonastu-
dents cellphone.
In response, union Vice Presi-
dent Rocco DAngelo sent a let-
ter to union members saying It
is of utmost importance to con-
duct ourselves in a professional
manner, and warning since
we all get paintedwiththe same
brush by the public lets try giv-
ing them nothing negative to
paint with.
The letter went on to advise
teachers to follow the district
policy of no electronic devices
allowed in school. The letter
closed with a plea to stand and
act united.
I fear that students and par-
ents will now, more than ever
try to implicate us in their mis-
placed blame for their own in-
adequacies as parents.
DAngelo declined comment.
Union President Meredith
McGlynn did not return a call.
Pittston Area is the only Lu-
zerne County district where the
teachers union is affiliated with
the American Federation of
Teachers, and a spokesperson
for the AFT Philadelphia office
was unavailable and did not re-
spond to email and a phone
message.
Fielding a flurry of calls, Gar-
zella issued a press release
Tuesday he said was the school
boards response to the uproar
over the events. The release be-
gins bysayingtheboards num-
ber one priority is to provide a
superior education while pro-
tecting the safety, health and
welfare of the student body,
then notes the union letter
does not reflect the adminis-
tration or School Boards views
or directives.
The release says, Any and all
alleged incidents of bullying;
student-to-student, teacher-to-
student or student-to-teacher
will be investigated and respon-
ded to appropriately, and the
board has pledged its full sup-
port in helping the Administra-
tion enforce these principles.

Corbett pushed reforms that
eliminatedmany exemptions and
made the approval process more
stringent.
The string of low index rates
came as Corbett made steep cuts
instate money for public schools.
The low limits and lost state
funding have left many districts
scrambling to save money, result-
ing in cuts in programs and staff
and increases in class sizes.
A new report released this
week by the Pennsylvania Associ-
ation of School Business Officials
andthePennsylvaniaAssociation
of School Administrators used
data gained through district sur-
veys to estimate total cuts state-
wide.
The report estimates that, in
the two years since nearly $1 bil-
lion was cut fromthe state educa-
tion budget, districts statewide
have shed 18,790 jobs.
The report notes 10 percent of
the states 500 districts reduced
or eliminated pre-kindergarten
programs in the last two years.
Class sizes rose in 70 percent last
year and in 51percent of districts
this year. Tutoring programs
were reduced or eliminated in 35
percent of districts last year and
in 32 percent this year.
At Dallas School District, with
the tightest tax hike restrictionin
Luzerne County, Business Man-
ager Grant Palfey said that, as
long as no unexpected expenses
come up, next years budget
should be able to stay at or below
the state tax increase limit.
Palfey said the district nego-
tiated many staff contracts that
tie raises directly to the Act 1 in-
dex. The district also refinanced
2008 debt to save roughly
$250,000 with lower debt pay-
ments in each of the next four
years. And the district recently
lowered health-care costs by
seeking and receiving lower bids
for providers of health insurance
services.

cause they could argue theyre entitled to
hold or fill the seats of invalid members, De-
Luca said.
He suggested council permit the existing
members to continue as is while seeking the
proper state approval for the article of incor-
poration change. Members in the invalid
seats couldthenbeproperlyseateduntil their
terms expire after state approval is granted,
he said, stressing the authority votes they
made as invalid members are still binding.
However, a majority of council disagreed,
saying they cant justify ignoring invalid ap-
pointments.
Councilwoman Linda McClosky Houck
said she finds it hard to believe citizens
with integrity would try to keep a post for
which theyre not eligible.
The three citizens could submit an applica-
tion to the manager seeking appointment af-
ter they resign, she said.
Councilman Harry Haas said he supports
seeking resignations because the four seats
are invalid and the measure seeks a middle
ground.
Councilwoman Elaine Maddon Curry said
the appointments are invalidthroughnofault
of the board members holding the seats, and
the public expects us to now straighten it
out.
Councilman Eugene Kelleher said the re-
signations will resolve everything without
forcing taxpayers to fund a court challenge.
The authority has indicated it will sue coun-
cil if it votes to vacate the positions, he said.
Council Chairman Tim McGinley said his
colleagues are treating the matter very seri-
ously and will continue to take steps to re-
solve it.
If the authority members refuse to resign,
council will discuss the matter on Tuesday,
possiblyvotingtoaskthe district attorney, at-
torney general or Manager Robert Lawton to
file court action seeking a vacancy declara-
tion.
Council members Urban, Stephen J. Urban
and Jim Bobeck opposed requesting the re-
signations.
Stephen J. Urban and Stephen A. Urban
saidthey believe council shouldfollowDeLu-
cas recommendation to seek the article of in-
corporation change and allow due process
to the four members. Urban told council
members hewont resignandhas askedfor an
independent legal opinion.
Bobeck said he wanted council to immedi-
atelydeclarethefour seats vacant, sayinghes
concerned council is allowing the authority
to continue to function with invalid mem-
bers.
The authoritys next meeting is Oct. 16.
Griffith told council he believes the former
county administrations handling of the mat-
ter was an underhanded effort to get the
right people on this board to do their bid-
ding a claim former Commissioner Ste-
phen A. Urban vehemently denied.
The prior commissioners appointed Falls
and Ayers at their last meeting in December
before the switchtohome rule, while OBrien
was appointed by council in March after a
public application and interview process.
Griffith told Urban to get out of the way
and resign if he doesnt want to support the
new home rule government.
Kingston resident Brian Shiner said the
four authority members should be immedi-
ately removed, and Ed Gustitus, also of King-
ston, urged council to abolish the authority
and absorb its responsibility overseeing the
Wyoming Valley Levee System and other
flood control projects.
Lawton agreed to Councilman Rick Wil-
liams request toanalyzepossibleelimination
of the authority, though the manager said he
may not have a report until he completes the
2013 budget.

Todays ruling is a temporary
setback for Voter ID.
Horace Cooper
The director of the National Center for Public Policy
Researchs Voter Identification Task Force was
among those who bemoaned a Pennsylvania
Commonwealth Court judges ruling Wednesday to postpone a
requirement that voters show photo ID prior to casting ballots in
Novembers election. But others called it a victory for voters rights.
Make bus terminal safer
with minimal expense
T
he bus terminal at Wilkes-Barre needs
to be made safer.
Instead of throwing more money at
the terminal in the form of expensive in-
frastructure upgrades, here is a potential
solution. Assign a responsible, radio-
equipped person to stand behind or ad-
jacent to each bus as it departs, in commu-
nication with the driver, to give the driver
the all-clear. That person would have the
last word on whether or not to proceed.

Plymouth pride evident
in cleanup, crime watch
I
thank Plymouth councilmen Bill Dixon
and Clif Madrack for their efforts in
cleaning up the litter on the Larksville
side of the Carey Avenue Bridge. They
deserve recognition for their efforts.
Because of the recent crime in Ply-
mouth, the council has taken initiatives to
strengthen zoning laws, and the residents
have started a crime watch. I and several
others are taking the initiative to identify
problem properties and their owners, and
put them on notice that it is no longer
acceptable to leave properties in disrepair.
Shawnee Pride is making a comeback,
big time!

As Hotel Sterling fades,
fond memories aroused
E
ditorial cartoonist Joe Majeski hit
another grand slam with his Sept. 28
cartoon. After endless salvage at-
tempts, the Hotel Sterling is finally con-
signed to the deep. Someone on board the
nearby salvage tug proclaims, Rest in
peace. Indeed.
Looking back on my varied involvement
with the Sterling over the years, I can
easily recall enjoying occasional Sunday
dinners there with my parents (sumptuous
food elegantly served by white-jacketed
waiters and prim waitresses), losing my
virginity there as a teenager (I saved a
brick in veneration when the high-rise
section was demolished) and fighting
several nasty fires there later on, as a mem-
ber of the Wilkes-Barre Fire Department.
The grand lobby, the mezzanine with its
radio station, bookshop and luncheonette
were totally big city and especially
delightful at Christmas. I even got to
spend some time in the penthouse.
Though my memories are special to me,
theyre far from unique. And I suspect
there might be some better ones out there
the kind of yarns that would make an
entertaining and valuable oral history,
should someone be inclined to undertake
such a project. Lets hope that happens.
And lets not beat up ourselves over the
loss. We tried, and thats what counts. The
demise of this grand old place came hand-
in-glove with the demise of anthracite coal
and downtowns in general.
Wilkes-Barre is well on the way to regen-
eration and rebirth. The Sterling is well on
her way to where she fits best, and would,
I think, prefer to be.

Harveys Lake dust-up
a lesson in persistence
I
d like to publicly thank my council col-
leagues who supported my motion to
scrap the idea of moving our police
station from its prominent location on the
main highway at the entrance to our com-
munity: Tom Kehler, Amy Williams, Ed
Kelly and Boyd Barber.
I also thank the residents for their con-
sistent encouragement and inspiration,
without which I could not have endured.
Only days before our September council
meeting we had suffered a disappointing
setback when the Luzerne County Board
of Elections reversed its decision to place
this issue on the ballot so that the people
could decide. In spite of this setback, the
voice of the people has been heard.
The lesson here is persistence! Never
give up.
My hope is that council can now move
forward and address other pressing issues
that have been overlooked far too long, not
the least of which is the mounting delin-
quency in garbage fee collections.

Obama victory means we
are calves to slaughter
A
s one of the 53 percent who pay federal
income taxes I have no disdain for the
top 1 percent, of which I am not. What
I do know is that if President Obama is
re-elected, Im going to tighten my belt
and not go to the local diner for breakfast
or lunch or make donations to worthy
causes.
If Obama gets re-elected, I must assume
that our society has purposely committed
the United States to a path of self-destruc-
tion. If Obama gets re-elected, then the
media and our rehab-dependent Holly-
wood crowd have seduced the masses into
mere cattle. And we know what happens to
cattle. They get processed.
And that is what the media, the Federal
Reserve, Obama and his radical friends
seemingly are trying to do to us.

Serpentine regulations
garner hiss from reader
I
n response to The Times Leaders front-
page feature about the Noxen Township
rattlesnakes (Sept. 30), I cannot imagine
how a happenstance vehicular run-over of
some rattlers can lead to some kind of
ecological misfortune. Period.
Is this not a bit of too much protection-
ism for the environment? It might even be
laughable to thinking minds that a work
crew on a truck is not allowed to proceed
because of a snake in the road.

Movie Wont Back Down
deemed must-see for all
L
ast weekend, I viewed the movie Wont
Back Down at a local theater. I was
very disappointed to observe only a
handful of patrons.
As a mother, grandmother, retired
school teacher and college administrator, I
was moved to share my humble opinion
that this movie deserves to be seen by
everyone. In fact, I believe that it should be
required viewing for every student teacher.
In this powerful story, inspired by true
events, determined mothers transform
their childrens school. This story has
implications far beyond the inner-city
school in Pittsburgh that is depicted. I urge
everyone to see the film because its mess-
age ultimately impacts all of us, whether
we are parents, educators or neither.

TTEND ENOUGH
campaign rallies and
listen to enough of
those my-opponent-
stinks commercials and you
could come away convinced
that the country is hopelessly
divided and fearful. Its the
moochers vs. the 1 percent, re-
al Americans vs. other Amer-
icans. Unless our candidate
wins, were doomed.
We dont buy it. This electo-
ral season, the first presidential
race since the Citizens United
decision, has producedmore di-
visive campaign ads than ever
before, and the frustratingly
weak economy has raised the
anxiety level over the nations
future.
But candidates and the elec-
torate seem to agree on urgent
priorities the what, if not the
how. The national debt is out of
control and must be fixed. The
recovery has been weak, more
and better jobs are desperately
needed. The immigration sys-
tem is broken and must be re-
formed.
Committedideologues aside,
most voters arent looking for a
conservative or liberal ap-
proach to these issues. They
want fair and workable solu-
tions. Thats what thecampaign
ought to be about.
At this stage, some things are
fairly clear.
Under Republican Mitt
Romney, there would likely be
fewer taxes and less spending
than in a second Obama term.
Romney would try to re-
peal most of Obamas Afforda-
ble Care Act, re-opening a de-
bate the Supreme Court had
settled.
Thepresident wants apath-
way to citizenship for illegal im-
migrants already here who
meet certain criteria. Romney
doesnt, although he has soft-
ened his stance on self-depor-
tation.
Yet for all the differences, ma-
jor questions remain. Romney
rebuffs calls for a balanced ap-
proach to the budget raising
revenue and reducing spend-
ing. But his detailed, 59-point
economic plan dodges the
toughquestions onhowtodoit.
President Obama, for his
part, has not made clear howhe
would tackle Medicare and So-
cial Security to make these pro-
grams more sustainable.
As the presidential debates
begintonight, undecidedvoters
should be looking for answers
on these and other key ques-
tions.
The Miami Herald
OTHER OPINION: OBAMA, ROMNEY
Oval Office seekers:
Dont talk in circles
O
N THESE POINTS,
there should be no de-
bate.
A U.S. presiden-
tial election should never be de-
cided by a candidates ability to
deliver a zinger, put-down, one-
liner or wisecrack (no matter
howclever).
If you are sitting by a TVto-
night andjudgingthecontenders
by their stage presence, hopeful-
ly youre watching the The X
Factor. It airs before the first
presidential debate of 2012 be-
gins at 9 p.m.
The American public has
been hit too hard for too long
with home foreclosures, job loss-
es, uncertaintyandanabsenceof
opportunities to settle for can-
didates platitudes. Get specific
or good-riddance.
Ideas matter. So does em-
pathy.
Mideast combat missions
have exacted too great a toll on
Americans in lives disrupted
and lives lost for foreign policy
matters to be anafterthought for
the candidates or the voters.
Todays political advertise-
ments andexchanges oftentwist
the truth beyond all recognition,
rendering them useless to any
sensible voter. Our democracy
deserves better than this.
(Inthemeantime, youcanver-
ify claims at websites such as

In seeking to expose an op-
ponents flaws, each contender
would be wise to remember
these words written by Mark
Twain: One mustnt criticize
other people on grounds where
he cant stand perpendicular
himself.
ElectionDayis Nov. 6. Choose
wisely.
OUR OPINION: 2012 DEBATES

stands, but more time is needed
to implement the requirement.
The goal of preventing fraud
is a worthy one, but there were
too many problems being en-
countered by individuals seeking
to secure an acceptable form of
ID, Baker said.
Most Republicans, from Gov.
Tom Corbett on down looked for
a silver lining in the decision.
While we believe we have
made it possible for every regis-
teredvoter whoneeds voter iden-
tificationto obtainone, well con-
tinue our efforts for the next elec-
tion and all future elections, to
make sure every registered voter
has the proper identification in
an effort to preserve the integrity
of our voting process in Pennsyl-
vania, Corbett said in a state-
ment.
Secretary of State Carol Ai-
chele, whose department over-
sees elections in Pennsylvania,
said the streamlined process put
in place by the Corbett adminis-
tration to help all voters get IDs
would have allowed all voters to
have acceptable IDbyNovember.
State Sen. John Yudichak, D-
PlymouthTownship, saidhe sup-
ports the concept of voter ID, but
he commended Judge Simpson
on his ruling.
This ruling rightly ensures
that not a single, eligible voter
will be disenfranchised or turned
away at the polls come election
day, Yudichak said. Voting is
one of our most fundamental
rights, and there was simply not
enough time to
enable voters
to obtain the
necessary pho-
to identifica-
tion prior to
this Novem-
bers election.
He encour-
aged everyone
without a form of identification
acceptable under the voter ID
law to continue taking steps to
obtain a state-issued identifica-
tion card so they are prepared in
the event the law is fully imple-
mented in the next election.
SusanFerentino, of the League
of Women Voters Wilkes-Barre
chapter, saidher groupis pleased
with the courts decision to grant
a partial injunction against the
law.
We are in agreement with the
Commonwealth Court that the
number of voters who will be un-
able to obtain a valid ID by the
election is too great, Ferentino
said. The League of WomenVot-
ers will continue to work toward
educating citizens about the vot-
er registration process, how to
obtain an ID, and providing non-
partisan information on the can-
didates and issues.

Luzerne County Manager Robert
Lawton said late Tuesday the
Department of State has advised
the county Election Bureau that
poll workers must ask all voters to
produce a photo ID.
However, if a voter does not have
one, he or she will be allowed to
vote and will not have to cast a
provisional ballot.

Millions of people will watch
tonights presidential debate
with an eye on politics, but a
group that will gather on the
Kings College campus in
Wilkes-Barre will focus on the
communication aspects of the
candidates preparation and de-
livery.
Kings Mass Communica-
tions professor Mike Berry, who
has been hosting the debate
watches since 1988, said hes
hoping those who attend the fo-
rumwill leave with a greater ap-
preciation for the debate proc-
ess itself.
Imtrying to provide a frame-
work for which to view these
events, Berry said.
He said hell explain how the
manner in which President Ba-
rack Obama and former Massa-
chusetts Gov. Mitt Romney an-
swer questions and other behav-
ior can tell a lot about a candi-
date.
Its non partisan. Were just
tryingtooffer a better way of un-
derstanding whats going on,
Berry said.
At another Wilkes-Barre col-
lege campus, two retired mem-
bers of Congress, Steve Kuyken-
dall and David Minge, will join
Wilkes University students at a
debate watch party being host-
ed by the Wilkes University Col-
lege Republicans. Members of
the public and of the Wilkes
community can watch the de-
bate and interact with each oth-
er indiscussions onwhat theyre
seeing and hearing.
At Misericordia University in
Dallas Township, history profes-
sor Brian Carso and Lawrence
Goldstone, an author of narra-
tive history and historical fic-
tion who holds a doctorate in
constitutional studies from the
New School of New York City,
will host a symposium that in-
cludes watching the debate and
participating in a post-debate
discussion.
Carso said that while he finds
the sort of program Berry is do-
ing at Kings interesting, he
would prefer people pay more
attention to more authentic and
substantive policy differences
the candidates reveal. But he ad-
mitted that the body language,
the question of authenticity and
gaffes and zingers are what
may sway some undecided vot-
ers.
Hell be watching to see if the
candidates try to appease their
partys bases or if theyll speak
more to undecided voters and
those who may be swayed.
Carso said that Romney, be-
cause he ran in a contested pri-
maryelectionthis year, has been
innumerous debates andshould
feel more comfortable thanOba-
ma, who hasnt debated since he
ran for president on 2008.
While the role of debates in
voters decisions has been
downplayed, Carso said the fact
Romney has been practicing so
much over the past few weeks
means he realizes the impor-
tance of it.

the voter ID requirement. They
said they would ask the state to
promptly pull the ads or alter
them to reflect the judges ruling
andsuggestedthat they wouldgo
back to court if the state doesnt
cooperate.
Otherwise there is a possibil-
ity of confusion by voters and
folks without ID may just stay
home because they wrongly be-
lieve they needID, saidWitoldJ.
Walczak of the American Civil
Liberties Union of Pennsylvania.
It could create confusion among
poll workers and any time you
have confusion on Election Day,
its not good for democracy.
The states Republican Party
chairman, Rob Gleason, said he
was disappointed and stressed
that the law is a common-sense
reform that is supportedinpublic
polling across the political spec-
trum. In a statement, the Obama
campaign said the decision means
that eligible voters can vote on
Election Day, just like they have in
previous elections in the state.
The plaintiffs included the
Homeless Advocacy Project, the
League of WomenVoters of Penn-
sylvania and the Pennsylvania
chapter of the National Associ-
ation for the Advancement of
Colored People.
Simpsons ruling came after lis-
tening to two days of testimony
about the states eleventh-hour ef-
forts tomake it easier toget a valid
photoID. Healsoheardabout long
lines and ill-informed clerks at
drivers license centers and identi-
fication requirements that made it
hard for some registered voters to
get a state-issued photo ID.
The 6-month-old law
among the nations toughest
has sparked a divisive debate
over voting rights and become a
high-profile political issue in the
contest between Obama, a Dem-
ocrat, and Republican nominee
Mitt Romney, for Pennsylvanias
20 electoral votes.
It was already a political light-
ning rod when a top state Repub-
lican lawmaker boasted to a
GOP dinner in June that the ID
requirement is going to allow
Gov. Romney to win the state of
Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania, traditionally
considered a presidential battle-
ground state, is showing a per-
sistent lead for Obama in inde-
pendent polls. Pollsters had said
Pennsylvanias identification re-
quirement could mean that few-
er people ended up voting and,
in the past, lower turnouts have
benefited Republicans in Penn-
sylvania.
But Democrats have used
their opposition to the law as a
rallying cry, turning it into a val-
uable tool to motivate volun-
teers and campaign contribu-
tions while other opponents of
the law, including labor unions,
good government groups, the
NAACP, AARP and the League
of Women Voters, hold voter
education drives and protest ral-
lies.
The law was a signature ac-
complishment of Corbett and
Pennsylvanias Republican-con-
trolled Legislature. Republi-
cans, long suspicious of ballot-
box stuffing in the Democratic
bastion of Philadelphia, justified
it as a bulwarkagainst any poten-
tial election fraud.
Every Democratic lawmaker
voted against it.

candidates be-
tween them-
selves rather
than watch the
debates.
I guess it
will help some
people, Stack
said of the de-
bate. Imsure they will continue
to pick each other apart, rather
than discuss the key issues.
Karen McHugh, 43, of
Swoyersville, cant wait to watch
Obama and Romney tonight.
She said shes leaning toward
Obama.
But I have my eyes wide
open, she said. I want to see
how they interact and one of
them could win my vote.
McHugh said foreign policy is
her main concern and she points
to the turmoil in Libya, Iran and
Afghanistan. She comes from a
military family and a nephew is
currently serving in the Air
Force.
These arent the best twocan-
didates, she said, declining to
offer alternatives. We need bet-
ter people to run for president,
but I guess many of them prefer
to remain in Congress to help
pass legislation.
LloydGrossman, 47, movedto
Swoyersville 17 years ago from
California. He formerly worked
at Procter & Gamble and is a
union carpenter but currently
unemployed. Hes confident
Obamawill winasecondtermon
Nov. 6.
Ill watch tonight to see if
(Obama) gives some sort of plan
for our future, Grossmansaid. I
want to hear what hes going to
do to correct the budget deficit.
Grossman said there isnt any-
thing Romney could do or say to
sway his vote.
Hes had plenty of time to do
that and Im still for Obama, he
said. Grossman said debates,
while important, dont change
the course of an election.
I cant understand how any-
body could be undecided at this
point, he said. It seems that the
country is more divided than ev-
er before.

THE TIMES LEADER WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2012

This one wasnt really up for
debate.
Northwestern coming in here
is the best teamthat weve faced,
Bill OBriensaidof Saturdays op-
ponent.
(Theyve)
done an excel-
lent job there of
just putting an
excellent team
together, an un-
defeated team.
Weve got a
huge challenge
ahead of us on Saturday.
No doubt. The Wildcats are
5-0. Theyre ranked No. 24 in the
country. They broke a school re-
cord by topping 700 yards of of-
fense over the weekend in a win
against Indiana.
So to start the week off, the
Penn State coach pleaded with
the student body at his weekly
press conference on Tuesday,
asking them to get in the stands
early for the start of the game.
This is a noon kickoff, and its
by far the biggest game for us this
year to this point this year,
OBrien said. Were playing a 5-0
Northwestern team. We feel like
were doing some good things.
We need all those students in the
stands at noon for that kickoff.
These (players), they feed off
of that. You know, the crowd
noise, the student section these
guys feed off of that.
Noon kickoffs traditionally fea-
ture late-arrivingcrowds, not just
for the student section. Traffic
around the stadium is particular-
ly bad for early starts, regardless
of the opponent or the time of
year.
Student organizations an-
nounced Monday that they
would be organizing a white-
out for the game, encouraging
the entire student sectiontowear
white to the game.
Whether its white-out, this-
out, that-out I dont know,
OBrien said.
I just need them in the stands
at noon, going nuts for this foot-

KINGSTON Its not as if
Casey Cole hadnt had a big
game before.
The Crestwood sophomore
posted three goals a month ago
in a win over Delaware Valley.
But onTuesday ontelevision
she put on a show.
Cole figured in all four Crest-
wood goals as the Comets de-
feated Wyoming Seminary 4-1 in
Wyoming Val-
ley Conference
field hockey.
My team-
mates really
helped, Cole
said of her big
game, a goal
and three assists. We did a lot of
pass, pass we didnt do much
with one person on the ball.
In my estimation, it was a lit-
tle bit of a whoopin, Wyoming
Seminary coach Karen Klassner
said. Where they were excep-
tional was inside the circle. They
just slam the ball. They really
took it to us.
Crestwood (11-1, 9-1 WVC)
converted two of five first-half
penalty corners to take charge of
the game. Cole blasted the
games first goal from the left
wing ona pass fromMarissa Sur-
dy at the top of the circle.
Ona corner inthe final minute
of the half, Cole took Chandler
Ackers injection pass and fired a
bullet through the pads of Semi-
nary (8-2-1, 8-2) goalie Hannah
Dressler. Maury Cronauer was
behind the keeper to push the
dribbler into goal for a two-goal
lead at the break.

HARRISBURG A former
Penn State graduate assistant
who complained he saw former
assistant football coach Jerry
Sandusky showering with a
young boy on campus and testi-
fiedat his sex abuse trial suedthe
university on Tuesday for what
he calls defamation and misrep-
resentation.
Mike McQuearys whistle-
blower lawsuit claims his treat-
ment by the university since
Sandusky was arrested in No-
vember has caused him distress,
anxiety, humiliation and embar-
rassment. The complaint, filed in
county court near State College,
where the university is based,
seeks millions
of dollars in
damages.
Penn State
spokesman
Dave La Torre
declined to
comment on
Tuesday, and
McQuearys lawyer Elliot Stro-
koff did not return a phone mess-
age.
The lawsuit discloses that
shortly after Sandusky was
charged, the universitys then-
president, Graham Spanier, met
with athletic department staff in-
side the universitys football sta-
dium and expressed his support
for athletic director Tim Curley
and vice president Gary Schultz,
who had been charged with per-
jury andfailure toproperly report
suspected child abuse in the

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Mi-

Tonights exhibition game
against the Rochester Americans
the first of the preseason is a
stepping stone for the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins.
With a roster full of new faces,
the game might not feature flaw-
less play right off the bat, but that
will come.
With an exhibition game you
have to approach it with an open
mind, said veteran forward War-
ren Peters. Its a building block
to where we want to get to.
So what can be expected for
the first time the new-look Pen-
guins take onanopponent for the
first time?
The biggest part is going out
there and being on the same page
early, Peters said. If guys are at-
tempting to play the same game
plan, thats probably what were
looking for the most.
Then there is the individual as-
pect.
Despite all the newcomers,
head coach John Hynes said the
coaching staff has a good idea of
the style of game each player
brings to the table during the last
four days of training camp. To-
night, he said, they have to bring
those elements to the game.
If its a highly offensive player
we want to see that guy produc-
ing off scoring chances, within
the team concept, Hynes said.
They have to bring their individ-
ual elements to the games. Thats
what is going to give them the
best chance to win a roster spot.
And while Hynes is undecided
on just how many players hell

keep for the opening night ros-
ter, he said there is more to it
than simply earning a spot on
the club.
Its about landing a starting
job as one of the12 forwards or
six defensemen who will dress
for the season opener.
And that will be hashed out
not only in training camp, but
during the four exhibition
games the Penguins will play
in the next five days.
How they perform is going
to determine who plays and
who plays in what situations,
Hynes said. Its about getting
into the opening night lineup.
Peters said its a work in pro-
gress to get to that point. As
the team gets more practices
and exhibition games under its
belt, the play both as a group
and individually will im-
prove.
Its a process that really gets
under way with tonights
matchup in Rochester.
The first (exhibition game)
isnt going to be as well-execut-
ed as the fourth because youre
lookingat more practices anda
couple more days for guys to
work together, he said.
Notebook
Tuesdays scrimmage re-
sulted in a1-1tie after two peri-
ods. Keven Veilleux scored for
the black team while Philippe
Dupuis notched the lone goal
for the white squad. Duringthe
ensuing shootout, Brian Gib-
bons and Adam Payerl scored
to pace the black team while
Jayson Megna scored the lone
goal on the white side.
Hynes wasnt sure if Veil-
leux (recovering from knee
surgery last season) would be
ready for the season opener,
but he is impressed with how
hes performed so far in camp.
Hes made huge progress and
feels more comfortable with
his knee, Hynes said. Physi-
cally, hes going in the right di-
rection.
There is a possibility that
some of the forward lines used
during the training camp
scrimmages will stick, Hynes
said. Some of the interesting
combinations included Trevor
Smith-Beau Bennett-Eric Tan-
gradi, Dominik Uher-Zach Sill-
Riley Holzapfel, and Jayson
Megna-Philippe Dupuis-Benn
Ferriero.
The organization is still
working out details to bring
Steve MacIntyre into camp.
Hynes said the tough winger
should be joining the team
soon.
Individual tickets for regu-
lar season home games will go
on sale Oct. 5 at 10 a.m. The
Penguins home opener is Oct.
20 against Bridgeport.

cooking, as
the heat of the
summer sub-
sides and we
welcome
those crisp October nights.
Slow-sim-
mering a
meal on your
stove is a
great way to
fill your house
with warmth
and wonder-
ful aromas.
This bra-
ciole recipe is
something we
always had at weekend family
gatherings when I was younger.
Its my moms recipe, and it
makes a hearty meal on the
coolest of days.
SLOW-SIMMERED
BRACIOLE
Ingredients:
2 lbs. round steak, thinly sliced
and pounded (about 8 long
pieces)
2 cups homemade seasoned
bread crumbs (see below)
1
2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive
oil
Cooking twine
6 cups marinara sauce
Seasoned bread crumbs
Pieces of leftover Italian or other
types of bread
1
4 cup fresh basil
4 tablespoons fresh parsley
Salt and pepper
Method:
Bake bread pieces in a 300-
degree oven for about 15 or 20
minutes until crisp.
In a food processor, pulse the
bread with the fresh basil and
parsley. Add about a
1
4 teaspoon
of salt and
1
4 teaspoon of pepper.
In a large bowl, combine two
cups of the seasoned bread
crumbs with the freshly grated
Parmesan.
Lay the slices of round steak
out on a clean prep surface. Rub
each piece of steak with extra
virgin olive oil and a little of the
minced garlic.
Spoon the bread/cheese mix-
ture generously over the top of
each piece, covering completely.
Leave about
1
8 inch of space
around the edges.
Roll the meat and secure with
butchers twine.
Bring marinara sauce to a sim-
mer in a pot on the stovetop. Heat
a bit of extra virgin olive oil in a
saut pan. Saut each roll on all
sides until browned.
Add the beef rolls to the marin-
ara sauce and simmer on low for
two hours. Serve over your favor-
ite pasta.

Ruth Corcoran prepared this
dish of slow-simmered braciole
over pasta at Cork Bar & Res-
taurant in Wilkes-Barre.
Braciole adds
warmth to a
crisp fall day

By MICHELLE LOCKE For The Associated Press
Soft-serve fruit is the answer
to an ice-cream-lovers crav-
ings, says Francesca Borgog-
none, Entertain Editor at The
Daily Meal.com, who adds that
the appeal is easy to under-
stand. A fraction of the calories
and mixed with the same type
of fixings that frozen yogurt has
it can be sweet, savory as
well as an any-time-of-the-day
treat.
Soft-serve fruit has been quiet-
ly building a following online,
where recipes abound for turn-
ing all manner of frozen fruit
into treats. Its hardly complicat-
ed. A splash of juice or water, a
bag of frozen fruit and a few
minutes in a food processor and
the result is something that
begs for an ice-cream cone.
Just type soft-serve fruit
into Pinterest and see the multi-
colored flurry of frozen fancies
that pops up. And kitchen-sup-
ply companies are keeping up
with the trend, marketing ap-
pliances specifically for making
frozen fruit desserts, such as the
Yonanas machine that costs
P
ureed frozen fruit probably wont become the next bacon, or even cup-
cake. Its simply not sexy enough.
So-called soft-serve fruit is, however, having a moment, recently
becoming a darling of the mommy-blog set, showing up on ABCs Good
Morning America, inspiring a new countertop kitchen appliance, even
spawning a product line and small chain of shops, the New York City-based
Soft Serve Fruit Co.
And to be clear, we are talking about something that is precisely as it sounds
frozen fruit that is pureed until it reaches the consistency of soft-serve ice
cream. Thats it.
TROPICAL MANGO
BANANA SOFT SERVE
Start to finish: 5 minutes
Servings: 4
10-ounce bag frozen mango
chunks
1 very ripe banana
1/4 cup sweetened cream of
coconut
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon orange juice
In a food processor, combine
the mango, banana, cream
of coconut and salt. Pulse
several times to roughly
chop, then add the orange
juice. Process until very
smooth, this may take sever-
al minutes. You may need to
stop the processor several
times to scrape down the
sides of the bowl or move
any chunks of fruit that
arent being pureed. Serve
immediately.

CREAMY BLUEBERRY
BANANA SOFT SERVE
The bananas provide most of the
creamy in this soft serve. They
combine so wonderfully with the
blueberries to create a silky,
creamy soft serve. If you want to
keep it dairy free, substitute plain
rice milk, coconut milk, or apple
juice for the regular milk. You also
could use water.
Start to finish: 5 minutes
Servings: 6
12-ounce bag frozen blueberries
2 frozen bananas, cut into
chunks
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch salt
2 tablespoons milk
In a food processor, combine the
blueberries, bananas, honey, cinna-
mon and salt. Pulse several times
to roughly chop, then add the milk.
Process until very smooth, this
may take several minutes. You may
need to stop the processor several
times to scrape down the sides of
the bowl or move any chunks of
fruit that arent being pureed.
Serve immediately.
