The Week in CarToons Been there, done that

BY GREG MARESCA
Afghanistan was consid-
ered ground zero of terror-
ism because that’s where the
mainstay of al Qaeda’s lead-
ership was holed up after
the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks,
even though the majority of
the terrorists were Saudis.
After all, we don’t sell arma-
ments worth billions of dol-
lars or get a drop of oil from
the Afghans, all of which
resulted in Afghanistan not
only becoming the longest
war in American history,
but our most expensive and
least understood campaign.
The divisions in Afghani-
stan are as old as time, and
so are the battles.
The British had a rough
go of it in the 19th century
and the Russians had more
than their share in the 20th
century. Why must we add
our name among theirs in
the 21st century?
More than 2,000 Ameri-
cans have died and thou-
sands more have been
wounded in a landlocked,
mountainous, unstable and
primitive fiefdom mired for
centuries by the noxious
duo of battling tribes and
Islamic jihadism.
It remains apparent that
no outside force is going to
end Afghan tribal hostilities.
We are under no obligation
to accommodate them by
building infrastructure and
providing security. The goal
in Afghanistan should be
complete victory over its ter-
ror base, but is this possible?
If we aren’t committed to
accomplishing just that, we
need to leave.
What we’ve done over the
past 16 years only under-
scores that time and again.
We have wasted enough
American lives, treasure
and time with half-baked
measures that only serve to
handcuff our military
through various degrees of
arcane rules of engagement.
T ALKING P OINTS
“My origi-
nal instinct
was to pull
out, and his-
torically, I
like following
my
MARESCA instincts,”
President
Trump conceded after he
announced that the Penta-
gon had convinced him “a
hasty withdrawal would cre-
ate a vacuum for terrorists.”
This is one instance
where Trump needs to go
with his gut, but has chosen
not to. This is one campaign
promise that won’t be ful-
filled. Trump was talked
into continuing what Bush
and Obama did. Democrats
must be satisfied because
Trump has implemented
Hillary Clinton’s Afghan
policy. Marine general and
now Secretary of Defense
James Mattis is the right
man for the job, but his
Afghanistan strategy is
flawed.
Too often in foreign policy,
deciding between isolation-
ism, idealism and what is
realistic is a major policy
struggle. The old, contradic-
tory strategies for dealing
with contemporary jihad-
ism and the terror it breeds
must be re-evaluated. Too
often generals fight today’s
battles with yesterday’s tac-
tics.
The Wall Street Journal
reported that there are
11,000 American troops in
Afghanistan that not only
fight the terrorists, but train
their military. After nearly a
generation, if we haven’t
trained them to successfully
defend and govern them-
selves, there’s no reason to
believe that an additional
4,000 troops will produce
better results than the
100,000 troops we had there
in 2011.
In Michael Hastings book
“The Operators” he makes a
convincing argument on
how the U.S. military aban-
doned victory in Afghani-
stan early on in the cam-
paign. The war has been a
16-year business venture
and has been fought like one
and will continue to be.
Even Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson admits this modest
surge of 4,000 troops will not
guarantee victory.
It’s a mission that given
the paltry numbers, we will
never be able to carry out.
Trump says that “in the
end” we’ll “win,” but how
does he define win? If troop
levels are determined by
conditions coupled with an
open-ended time frame,
what’s to say levels are not
increased by five- or ten-fold
next year?
We decided it wasn’t
worth continuing in Viet-
nam and eventually we will
do the same in Afghanistan.
If we still had the draft, this
war would have ended years
ago. A blizzard of collegiate
snowflakes fortified with
their speech codes, safe
spaces and armed with cray-
ons and coloring books
would have guaranteed it.
And so it goes.
We deploy more troops to
Afghanistan and multiply
the nearly $1 trillion already
spent. Afghanistan is just
another over-funded govern-
ment program. There are
plenty of better uses for that
vast sum and Uncle Sam can
start with disaster relief in
Texas and Florida.
More to the point, why are
we willing to squander more
American lives?
There will be no clear
“win” in Afghanistan.

lance writer, composes

of the Federal-
ist Society.
Since 2005 the Federalist Soci-
ety and its extremely powerful
group of 75,000 conservative
lawyers have been behind the
appointment of three conserva-
tive justices to the Supreme
Court: John Roberts in 2005,
Samuel Alito in 2006 and, of
course, Gorsuch this year. Its
conservative bloc on the
Supreme Court constitutes one-
third of the court’s members.
Since the early 1990s, the
Federalist Society has fol-
lowed, most rigorously, its own
master plan: Find very intelli-
gent students coming into law
schools across the nation; help
them in every way to do well in
law school; make sure these
students graduate as lawyers;
then keep them interested and
involved with conservative
lawyers. The Federalist Soci-
ety has chapters everywhere,
and they’re not like the Odd
Fellows. Lawyers in the chap-
ters work on the ins and outs
of important legal problems,
participate in practice groups,
take pro-bono legal cases
where they confer, write arti-
cles for law journals and create
strong relationships with the
news media.
As the law school graduates
advance in their careers, they
become known and recog-
nized. Inevitably, with the sup-
port of the Federalist Society,
these conservative lawyers
have risen to positions of
prominence in the courts,
including the federal courts,
where their conservative legal
philosophies have led them to
render conservative decisions.
And now, with Donald
Trump in the batter’s box,
they’ll soon be in a position to
judge one out of every eight
cases that come before the fed-
eral bench.

Man convicted of attempted
homicide in shooting of officer
BEAVER (AP) — A man accused of having shot a Penn-
sylvania police officer nearly two years ago has been
convicted of attempted homicide.
The Beaver County Times reports that Beaver County
jurors deliberated for nearly nine hours before convict-
ing 29-year-old Earl Hollins of attempted homicide, ag-
gravated assault, assault of a law enforcement officer,
reckless endangerment and a firearms crime.
Another officer testified that he found the Harmony
Township patrol car in a ditch in October 2015 and Offi-
cer Alan Loskoch “slumped over.” Officials said his bul-
letproof vest saved his life.
Hollins’ attorney said prosecutors had no physical
evidence connecting his client to the shooting. Several
family members testified that he was with them at the
time.
Loskoch said the trial was “very emotional” and the
verdict was “a good thing.”
Man charged with disposing of
body now charged in slaying
EASTON (AP) — A man originally charged with helping
dispose of a body in a drug-fueled killing in Pennsylvania
has now been charged in the slaying.
A Northampton County judge ruled Friday there was
enough evidence for 33-year-old Charles Yocum Jr. to
stand trial on charges of homicide and conspiracy in
the death of 28-year-old Joseph Goda, whose body was
found in the trunk of a car.
Police say Goda was bludgeoned with a shotgun in
Bethlehem in September 2016 after he, Yocum and
31-year-old James Heimbach used flakka, a synthetic
drug similar to bath salts.
Prosecutors said a jailhouse informant came forward
and said Yocum had implicated himself. Defense attor-
ney Gavin Holihan suggested that the informant was
trying to help Heimbach, whose attorney has also sug-
gested that Yocum was the real killer.
Mother convicted of trying
to kill 2 children in 2015
WILKES-BARRE (AP) — A woman has been convicted
of attempted homicide of her two young children after
authorities said she tried to pipe vehicle exhaust into
their car in a Pennsylvania bus station parking lot.
Jurors in Luzerne County deliberated for about three

ELYSBURG — On a picture-perfect
mid-September Saturday that felt
more like summer, Meadowview
Christian Academy held its 21st annu-
al fall festival for the first time at Ral-
pho Township Community Park.
There were plenty of things to do
for the entire family. Items up for bid
through a benefit auction for the
academy included bicycles, Legos, gift
baskets, photographs, paintings, tick-
ets to Sight and Sound Theater and
various homemade crafts.
Event organizer and Parent Teach-

years, we now have a fall festival that
includes food, children’s games and
about 20 different Christian vendors.
We’d been looking at several different
locations to hold this event and feel
like we’ve now found a good fit here at
Ralpho. We’ve also received positive
feedback and good attendance of live
local Christian music performances
here at the festival.”
Don and Treva Madison enjoyed
having lunch inside the picnic pavil-
ion.
“Both our daughter and daughter-
in-law teach at the academy,” said Tre-
va Madison.
“I think it’s a very good fundraiser
that took a lot of work to put togeth-

Earl Sheriff, owner of Irish Pot of Gold Beer Distributor, has unveiled the newly remodeled and
expanded addition that serves as a historical memorabilia showcase as well as beer store.

his response every time, he
said.
The former brewery was
a staple in Tharptown from
1894 to 1974, with people
today still talking about the
once popular beer. For the
younger generations that
weren’t aware of its exis-
tence, Sheriff said the
shelves of bottles on display
are an invitation to learn a
bit of local history.
The pieces are on display
among old beer bottles from
numerous breweries,
including Yuengling bottles
that had the name molded
into the glass rather than
on a label. There are also
two old-fashioned bottle
cappers that were used to
individually cap bottles.
Sheriff said it took him
about “six or seven years to
finally get enough gump-
tion” to connect the build-
ings to expand the store,
and so far customers like
what they see. The renova-
tions make it more open for
customers, and he said he
hopes more women find it
inviting.
Not only does the store
have history sprinkled
about, but it has allowed the
types and amount of prod-
uct to grow. Sheriff said
he’s expanded the selection
of craft beers and is able to
sell anything from six-
packs to 30-packs.
He hopes to add wine to
the inventory list, but for
non-beer drinkers, the store
carries numerous ciders,
hard sodas and more. And

ites list that isn’t in-stock,

Wolf of overspending the
state into the deficit and
intentionally inflating reve-
nue projections last year
“so that he could increase

Then Turzai, R-Alleghe-
ny, turned on Senate Repub-
licans. They had “ceded
their supermajority to the
governor and to the Demo-
crats” by allowing the tax
package to pass the cham-
ber without approval from
the majority of its GOP
members, he said. The
House, Turzai suggested,
would never allow a floor
vote on legislation that was
not supported by a majority
of Republicans.
Senate Republicans
declined to respond, but
Wolf ’s office did.
The administration
maintained that there are
no surpluses sitting in
off-budget accounts, and
that raiding in the accounts
will cut off funding for proj-
ects. The administration
also pointed out that House
GOP leaders agreed to a
consensus revenue estimate
last year that hewed closely
to a separate estimate by
the Legislature’s own Inde-
pendent Fiscal Office.

budget bill that House
Republicans had backed
overwhelmingly in a June
30 vote.
The Senate will return to
session Monday, as Wolf
delays payments to manage
through a cash crunch.
How the stalemate can
end is unclear.
“I have no idea where it’s
going,” said Rep. John Tay-
lor, R-Philadelphia. “I don’t
think anybody else does
either.”
The outcome has implica-
tions for everything from
the governor’s race to the
interest rate Pennsylvania
pays on the billions it bor-
rows every year to the bud-
gets of public schools, coun-
ty-run social services, hos-
pitals and agencies serving
the disabled.
Many lawmakers expect
the Senate will seek signifi-
cant changes to the House
plan. A number of south-
eastern Pennsylvania
Republicans say a Marcel-
lus Shale tax will re-emerge
as a necessary part of a
final budget agreement.
Reed and Turzai don’t
like that, Taylor said, “but I
think they understand
that.”

Homicide
FROM PAGE 1
“I have complete confi-
dence they will solve this
crime without anyone else
getting hurt,” Gembic said.
Nine names of people
from the area, including
one of the man who
allegedly fired the shot that
killed Maschal, appear in
a three-page narrative that
appears to have been filed
by a policeman as part of a
search warrant request to a
judge. In addition to the
gunman, it’s suggested that
two other people were part
of the crime, while the oth-
ers are mentioned as part
of the officer’s step-by-step
following of leads.
Maschal’s body was
found about 11:40 a.m.
Wednesday by an ATV rid-
er along a trail just off
Routes 54-901 south of
Locust Gap in Mount Car-
mel Township. An autopsy
revealed the 33-year-old
Mount Carmel man died
from a gun shot to the head.
Matulewicz still refers to
the document as “unau-
thenticated,” but the notion
that it was somehow leaked
by law enforcement was
debunked by Gembic and at
least one other local officer
who spoke off the record
Saturday. The document,
each page appearing to
have been photographed,
was circulating in texts and
was shared privately and
publicly on Facebook. It
appears to be legitimate.
When a warrant is
served and a property
searched, a copy of the doc-
ument has to be provided to
someone at the home, said
Gembic.
“They then have the abil-
ity to give it to family and
friends,” he said.
There are cases where
warrants are sealed, but
that wasn’t the situation

the front passenger seat. Rescuers would eventually
remove the entire roof of the car.
The pickup, which is believed to have been traveling
east on Route 54, came to rest sideways across the double
yellow line and on its driver side about 100 feet away from
the car. It had severe front-end damage.
It appears the collision may have occurred at the inter-
section with Hillside Drive, in front of Berger’s Religious
Gift store.
The highway was shut down as emergency personnel,
their gear and gurneys were spread out across the high-
way.
Police had not released any further details as of Satur-
day night.
West Nile Virus
spraying slated
SHAMOKIN DAM — The
Snyder County West Nile
Program will conduct an
“ultra-low volume” (ULV)
mosquito control operation
to reduce high populations
of mosquitoes capable of
transmitting West Nile
Virus on Tuesday in parts
of Monroe Township. The
work is contingent upon
additional survey work
being conducted Monday,
the Northumberland Coun-
ty Conservation District
(NCCD) reported.
The treatments will be
administered via
truck-mounted equipment,
spraying residential and
recreational mosquito habi-
tat. The equipment dispens-
es DeltAGard at a rate of
0.62 ounces per acre. The
product is designed to pro-
vide quick, effective control
of adult mosquito popula-
tions. The application mate-
rial has a very low toxicity
profile to mammals and will
have negligible impact to
non-target insects and the
environment, NCCD
reports.

this time.
“In a typical investiga-
tion of any sort, and obvi-
ously one this dynamic, the
police, DA — they’re not
out investigating the case
in the newspaper,” said
Gembic.
Though he didn’t serve
the warrant that’s circulat-
ing on social media, Gem-
bic said he did issue a sepa-
rate warrant this week
involving the case.
“I want to stress the fact
that the DA has been work-
ing 24 hours a day on this
case, and he’s organized a
group of police depart-
ments that are doing a phe-
nomenal job. He has them
all together as a team under
his direction,” said Gembic.
Gembic remembers oth-
er homicide cases earlier in
his long career where
search warrant contents
were shared, but social
media obviously increases
the speed and breadth of
such distribution.
“Everyone has a cell
phone and everyone is on
Facebook, and it’s quick,”
he said. “It’s the world we
live in.”
The News-Item is not pro-
viding any further details
of the warrant until it is
formally recognized by law
enforcement.
‘Drug related’
Matulewicz, in an effort
to allay fears that there was
a danger to the general pub-
lic, had issued a statement
about the homicide Friday
saying, “The incident does
not appear to be a random
act of violence; the incident
does appear to arise from a
personal interaction; and
the incident may be drug
related.” The word “not”
was inadvertently missed
in the first sentence in Sat-
urday’s story in The News-
Item.
Certain mosquito species
carry the West Nile virus,
which can cause humans to
contract West Nile encepha-
litis, an infection that can
result in an inflammation
of the brain. According to
the state Department of
Health, all residents in
areas where virus activity
has been identified are at
risk of contracting West
Nile encephalitis.
West Nile virus has been
detected in the following

non-patient activities.
Topics covered included
Evangelical’s hospice phi-
losophy, communication
skills, care and comfort
measures, understanding
bereavement and volunteer
opportunities.
At the end of the two-
day session, hospice wel-
comed 12 new volunteers
to the fold of individuals
who have chosen to give
their time to help during
life’s most difficult
moments.

Bitcoin, hailed in some
quarters as the future
of currency, is having a
rough week, with a flurry
of rumors that China will
shut down exchanges
and the head of a major
U.S bank calling bitcoin a
“fraud.”
Plummeting prices have
again raised questions
about the wisdom of own-

What is bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a digital cur-
rency created and ex-
changed without
involvement of banks
the
“miners,” who operate
computer farms that verify
other users’ transactions
by solving complex math-
ematical puzzles. These
miners receive bitcoin in
exchange. Bitcoin can be
converted to cash when
deposited into accounts
at prices set in online
trading.
Bitcoin’s swansong?
Not necessarily. Let’s
take a look at recent
data: In mid-July the val-
ue of bitcoin was around
$1,900 per dollar, drop-
ping from nearly $2,500
at the end of June. Users
forced a change in the
computer code, which
was designed to improve
capacity on the increas-
ingly clogged network.
The maneuver worked,
helping to avoid a split in
bitcoin and driving the val-
ue up to roughly $2,800
by the end of July.
Bitcoin’s value has
fluctuated since then. At
the beginning of August
bitcoin’s value stood at

COAL TOWNSHIP — Shamokin gave
the highly-ranked Southern Columbia

utes of a Saturday morning contest at
Shamokin. Southern Columbia won 3-2
on three first half scores from Maggie
Morrison, Madison Klock and Karly
Renn while holding Shamokin scoreless.
But the Indians did not back down,
scoring with nine minutes remaining
and again with two minutes remaining
in the game on goals from Kaitlyn Dunn
and Abby Nye.
Southern’s win improved the Tigers’
record to 6-0.

AP GOLF WRITER
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — As much as
Marc Leishman has been through, espe-
cially off the golf course, it takes a lot to
get to get under his skin. He tells his wife
that even after a particularly bad round,
give him 10 minutes and he’ll be fine.
His last tournament, when Leishman
lost a two-shot lead on the back nine at
the TPC Boston, was an exception.
“That one probably took a day,” he
said. “It stung a bit.”
Saturday at the BMW Championship
brought Leishman on the verge of
redemption.
Leishman got up-and-down from a
tough lie behind the 18th green for one
last birdie that gave him a 3-under 68 and
extended his lead to five shots over Jason
Day and Rickie Fowler going into the
final round at Conway Farms.

Wimbush runs Notre Dame past BC 49-20 BY JIMMY GOLEN
AP SPORTS WRITER
BOSTON — Notre Dame quar-
terback Brandon Wimbush had
already scored from 1, 2, and 3
yards out when he broke loose for
a 65-yard touchdown to help ice
the game.
Josh Adams had 64- and
65-yard runs of his own.
“Big plays, you don’t look for
them,” Wimbush said after help-
ing Notre Dame bounce back
from its fall from the rankings by
beating Boston College 49-20 on
Saturday. “You do your job and
the plays are there.”

second half of an NCAA college football game against Adams rushed for 229 in three
Boston College in Boston, Saturday. quarters, the first time in the his-
tory of the illustrious program
that two players have run for
more than 200 yards in a game.
“The tale of the game came
with their ability to run,” Boston
College coach Steve Addazio said.
“Those chunks are what turned
the game, because it was a close
game.”
For about 40 minutes it was,
until Notre Dame (2-1) scored
three straight touchdowns to
turn a 14-13 game into a blowout
and beat BC (1-2) for the sixth
straight time.
After stopping the Eagles on a
fourth-and-1, Wimbush broke
loose for a 46-yard run to set up
one touchdown. The Irish scored
twice more before BC was able to
respond, one set up by Adams’
33-yard scamper and the other on
Wimbush’s 65-yard TD.
“We didn’t make a lot of plays
in the first half,” Notre Dame
coach Brian Kelly said. “We came
in at halftime and went up to the
offensive line and said, ‘Look, we
need you to take over this football
game. You’re our veteran group.’
And they really responded.”
In the matchup of the only two
Catholic schools in FBS — a rival-
ry known as the “Holy War” —
the Irish ran for 515 yards on 51
carries. Wimbush completed 11
of 24 passes for 96 yards, with one
interception.
“You’ve just got to find a way to
find something that’s working for
you,” he said. “And it happened to
be my feet during this game.”

Roth
FROM PAGE 1
execute his plan to become a successful
team.
Becker, Nick (Class of ‘16)
I feel that everyone has such a high
level of respect for Coach Roth. Every-
one from the players and the fans, to
the faculty and staff at the high school. I
also feel that the assistant coaches are
a huge part of his success. They put in
long hours to better the team just like
he does. Since many of them have years
and years of experience and success
with him, they deserve the same amount
of credit.
Bell, Andrew (Class of ‘18)
I think the reason has to be his dedi-
cation. He has dedicated his whole life
to Southern Columbia football, and he
could be coaching anywhere with the
record he has. However, he chooses to
stay because he is all in for the players.
He is so appreciative of everything and
acts so selfless. Definitely his character,
dedication, and his knowledge of the
game are the biggest reasons why he is
on track to be the winningest coach in
Pennsylvania.
Bloom, Matt (Class of ‘92)
Coach Roth cemented his success
four decades ago when he introduced a
systematic approach to Southern foot-
ball, for example with the Wing-T. From
there he had people buy into the pro-
gram and the program flourished. Now
it’s not just a program. He’s created a
culture, a culture of success and class.
He has done what only a few of the great
coaches have done and what the rest
aspire to do. He doesn’t coach winning
teams, he coaches student-athletes. He
wins them, they win games. Those stu-
dents-athletes produced the teams, the
teams built the program, and the pro-
gram created the culture. That culture
starts with a coach who takes the time
and puts in the effort to get the best out
of every young man that walks on that
field. Simply put, it’s a model of success,
a model that builds a dynasty.
Connaghan, Kyle (Class of ‘06)
As far as Coach Roth, I will say much
of his success as well as our individual
success can be attributed to his year
round involvement in developing his play-
ers. When you are a Southern football
player there is no off-season, and there
is a level of expectation that requires a
tremendous amount of commitment and
dedication. His level of commitment to
his players and the game is unparal-
leled.
Cox, Tyler (Class of ‘07)
I believe Coach Roth has been so suc-
cessful for many reasons. Having practi-
cally the same assistants for his tenure
has kept things simple and easier. They
coach every student athlete the same
and believe in everybody equally. Keep-
ing the same scheme from the time he
started coaching also helps to perfect
the little things and although not flashy,
it is tried and proven.
Day, Keith (Class of ‘12)
Coach was always a great teacher of
the game and a wealth of knowledge in
regards to the X’s and O’s, but he was
also always open to listen. I believe the
reason he has had so much success is
because he expects greatness on ev-
ery play. Every offensive play should be
a touchdown and every defensive play
should be a tackle for a loss, sack, or
interception. He has built the program
from the ground up and gets players to
buy into the system from a young age.
Donlan, Trent (Class of ‘15)
I think all of those coaches being to-
gether forever has something to do with
it. They’ve just been so successful for so
long that everyone that plays for them
wants to continue that success and add
to the legacy.
Donlan, Troy (Class of ‘19)
I believe Coach Roth’s success has
to do with the ability he has to instill
players with a winning mentality and a
constant drive for success. He preach-
es about the history and success of the
program and you can’t help but want to
keep the winning tradition alive.
Fegley, Brad (Class of ‘12)
I think the reason for Coach Roth’s suc-
cess is that he has built a powerhouse
empire at Southern Columbia. Working
in Allentown the last two years, I have
found that Southern Columbia Football
has a dominant reputation throughout
the state. Honestly, more people seem
to be familiar with Southern Columbia
due to our football reputation than where
I went to college, Susquehanna Universi-
ty. I think every player that goes through
the program knows that they have to live
up to that high-class expectation. It’s like
you are playing for more than yourself.
Fegley, Dave (Class of ‘09)
I have been fortunate enough to be
around the Tiger program probably more
than any other former player other than
the current assistants that played for
Coach Roth and Coach Mills. Seeing
the success from all of the different
angles as a fan growing up, to playing
on the team, and now announcing and
writing articles for the team, it is just
amazing to see that consistency. I’m
an Oregon Ducks football fan and their
motto is to “Win The Day” which I feel
is displayed daily with the Southern Co-
lumbia football program. Whether it’s in
a game, a practice, a workout, or a film
session, this staff expects excellence.
The program’s goal is to be the best at
whatever it is that is going on during that
day. Obviously by Coach Roth now win-
ning 400 games and having the record
for the most state championships, his
approach has worked better than any
other in the history of the state. He also
has assistant coaches that have done
incredible things as well in helping to
create this dynasty that others across
the state envy.
Fetterman, Jon (Class of ‘94)
The wins speak for themselves. Being
successful 87 percent of the time you
do anything is impressive. Winning high
school football games at that rate over a
38 year period leaves an unmatched leg-
acy. More importantly though is his pro-
cess. He teaches work ethic, discipline,
and attention to detail. These lessons
travel with our players and help make
them more successful in their lives after
football.
Feudale, Adam (Class of ‘14)
I think Coach Roth has had success
because of his ability to keep the same
staff throughout his coaching. He also
gets everybody on the same page and
the players know what is expected of
them. He is also very good at breaking
down opponents film and coming up with
a solid game plan to win. He does not
mess around or waste anytime at prac-
tice. He is very well organized in what
he does.
Fidler, Alex (Class of ‘11)
I believe the reason for Coach Roth’s
success is his hard work, perseverance
for putting players in the right position at
the right time, and the respect players
have for him and the program. Losing is
not an option when you play football at
Southern Columbia.
Fleming, Jeff (Class of ‘07)
There is a successful coaching staff
that has been together for a long time.
Then there are kids like us getting
brought up in a great community and we
couldn’t wait until we were able to put on
a Tiger uniform.
Fox, Mike (Class of ‘02)
I believe Coach Roth has been suc-
cessful for a variety of reasons, but
namely a great team philosophy that
each player is willing to buy into early.
The strong culture highlighted every
Friday night showcases discipline and
precision that’s embodied into the midg-
et programs and carried through junior
high. Coach Roth and his staff do the
right things the right way, from off-sea-
son workouts to practices in-season.
That hard work and belief that you need
to hold yourself to as a player to a higher
standard to be ready to play for Southern
Columbia and Jim Roth is a notion that
our competitors recognize and respect.
Fulmer, Connor (Class of ‘18)
Coach Roth is successful because he
is determined. He is determined to win
every game. He is determined to have
the best coached team. He is deter-
mined to get the most out of every player
he can. He’s determined to be the best
and that’s what makes him great.
Gallinot, Nich (Class of ‘07)
I believe it has a lot to do with the re-
spect the players have for him and the
rest of his staff. We always trusted that
he was leading us in the right direction
so we knew it was just up to us as play-
ers to do our part. We needed to watch
film, hit the weight room, and know our
assignments.
Garcia, Gaige (Class of ‘20)
As with any great team, the coaching
staff and consistency within the program
plays a very big role in creating a win-
ning atmosphere. Coach Roth has been
coaching for a long time and if you look
to his right and to his left, you can say
that his assistants have been there with
him for a long time and know his expec-
tations. The coaching staff is educat-
ed, they know how to motivate us, and
there are always previous players com-
ing back to watch and support us. And
with Coach Roth hitting his 400th win,
you can see the type of man and coach
he is. It doesn’t happen by chance. He
is dedicated and has a passion for foot-
ball.
Haladay, Cal (Class of ‘20)
Coach Roth knows the game inside
and out. He has a game plan in mind
before we even take the field. He finds a
way to keep all of his players motivated
and eager for more game after game.
Every player in this district knows of the
name Jim Roth and has a profound re-
spect for his coaching abilities.
Haladay, Greg (Class of ‘85)
I was fortunate to be on Coach Roth’s
first team in 1984. Back then there was
a lot of tough love and conditioning. I
loved it though because you had to work
for everything. Coach Roth didn’t talk
much back then, but in practices when
he blew the whistle you knew exactly
what he meant. Now watching my kids
play for him, Coach Mills, and Coach
Cihocki has been a pleasure because I
know the type of guys that they are. They
put in the time to get the best out of the
players and have done so for a long time
now.
Heitzman, Ted (Class of ‘08)
I would say his ability to get players
to buy into the program and commit
themselves 100% to the team. That in
combination with a constant emphasis
on execution of the playbook have been
two big factors in Coach Roth’s success.
Hollenbach, Stone (Class of ‘19)
Coach Roth has great success be-
cause of his knowledge of the game.
He knows just about everything when
it comes to football and has seen just
about everything. The amount of effort
he puts into having a successful pro-
gram is unmatched and also his attitude
makes him successful. He never stops
coaching even if the score is in the mer-
cy rule. He can also fix the smallest mis-
takes that us as players might not think
are a big deal, but really they are.
Hornberger, Rick (Class of ‘94)
The 400 wins is an incredible accom-
plishment and speaks for itself. Not only
did Coach Roth teach us to compete for
everything, he also taught us how to be
men and what it takes to be successful
on the field and in life. He had an incred-
ible influence on me and I still take a
lot of what he taught us and apply that
today in the real world.
Klebon, Mike (Class of ‘15)
Coach Roth is successful because
each week he prepares like it’s a cham-
pionship game. He is really organized
and pays extreme attention to the little
details. Kids respect him and really want
to give everything they have for him and
the program. He loves the game of foot-
ball and it shows everyday.
Knoebel, Justin (Class of ‘08)
He runs the program like the CEO of a
business. Everyone knows what’s going
on all the time so there’s no wasted time
at practice and on game day everyone
knows their roll and where they belong.
Kreisher, Dan (Class of ‘05)
The coaching staff at Southern Co-
lumbia has always been detail oriented.
Their preparation off of the field is very
impressive. There is more preparation
that takes place off of the field than what
happens on the field. Knowing your op-
ponent inside and out, before you play,
has always been what the coaching staff
preached. When you’re ready for the Fri-
day test, there aren’t that many surpris-
es that you see from the opponent that
you aren’t ready for. Congratulations to
Coach Roth on your 400th win. What a

Fishing action remains hot on Conneaut Lake

BY DOYLE DIETZ
FOR THE NEWS-ITEM
CONNEAUT LAKE —
Like all experienced profes-
sional fishing guides Darl
Black hedges his bets when
booking clients for a fishing
trip on Conneaut Lake.
Like all veteran outdoors
writers, however, Black
knows this gem of a lake in
northwestern Pennsylva-
nia is a go-to location when
he needs photographs or
material for a column or
feature.
As Pennsylvania’s largest
natural lake, Conneaut is
sometimes overshadowed
by nearby Pymatuning
Lake, which has been
ranked No. 22 in the Top 100
Best Crappie Lakes in the
United States – and only
lake in Pennsylvania on the
list compiled by Fish-
Hound.com. What makes
Conneaut Lake such a pop-
ular destination, however,
is its variety of species
from panfish to smallmouth
bass and the historic resort-
style community that sur-
rounds and takes its name
from the lake.
Oh, yes, then there is
always the possibility –
albeit remote – possibility
of pulling a feisty musky
from Conneaut Lake, which
gave up the Pennsylvania
state record, September 30,
1924. That day Lewis Walk-
er, Jr. was trolling an 8-inch
chub rigged crosswise to
induce spinning from a
cane pole spooled with
42-pound line and a leader
made of picture wire when
he took his 57-inch,
54-pounds, 3-ounce record.
Some old-timers believe
trophy muskies remain to
be taken from the Con-
neaut, but Black believes
catching one – or even a
smaller fish – is unlikely. He
is committed to putting cli-
ents on fish and getting as
much action into his half-
day charters as possible.
Black is uncommitted as
to what species of fish will
be put in the boat, at least in
numbers, on any given day.
Depending on the wind and
weather conditions, on any
given day the lake will pro-
duce largemouth bass,
smallmouth bass, crappies,
bluegill, pumpkin seeds,
Northern pike, perch and
walleye on a regular basis.
While Conneaut Lake is a
popular summer family
vacation spot with its
famous antique roller coast-
er in Conneaut Park,
anglers target bass in the
lake before the height of
summer. With the approach
of fall bass anglers will
once again travel to the lake
from throughout Pennsyl-
vania and eastern Ohio.
Conneaut Lake has a
variety of fish-holding hab-
itat, ranging from weed
beds in the shallows that
extend into the lake to its
numerous bars, some of
which contain vegetation.
First-time anglers will like-
ly waste precious time
locating some of the prime
fishing locations, so, as is
the case when visiting any
new water, securing the ser-
vices of a guide is priceless.
Topwater works well in
the morning, then move to
the weed beds along the
shore if targeting bass. Soft
jerkbaits such as the YUM
Shad are ideal to attract fish
looking for an easy meal
from their hiding places.
“There is no shortage of
bait fish, with emerald
shiners, shad and various
common minnows the
main forage,” Black said.
“Of course, bass and pike
are also going to feed on the
various species of panfish,
so these fish are well fed.
“I’ve been fishing since I
was old enough to hold a
fishing rod, and although
writing assignments often
take me to different states,
I’m always eager to return
home to my favorite north-
western Pennsylvania
waters. Without a doubt,
smallmouth bass are my
favorite quarry, but crap-
pies are a very close second,
which is why Conneaut
Lake is one of my favorite
places.
“My season on Conneaut
Lake begins in April when
we begin catch-and-release
fishing for smallmouth bass
and continues through
November. During the
warmer months most
anglers want to target crap-
pie or panfish, which is just
one reason Conneaut Lake
is such a popular destina-
tion for families who want
youngsters to have a quality
experience catching fish.”
Some of the other rea-
sons Conneaut Lake – both
the community and the
water – is so popular for a
getaway are the numerous
choices for angler-friendly
lodging and having the
choice of quality restau-
rants. Miller’s Food Factory
on Conneaut Lake Road is
open early to serve home-
style breakfasts and there is
no better choice for lunch
or dinner – depending
when fishing – than dock-
ing at Silver Shores and
enjoying a meal in the din-
ning room overlooking the
lake or on the deck next to
the water.
Conneaut Lake comes
with no guarantees so far as
how many or big a catch
will be, but does come with
the guarantee of a quality
angling experience.

TEST DRIVE - BY GREG ZYLA
2017 Nissan Pathfinder
Entry Price $30,290
Price as Tested: $44,725
If you’re in the market for a midsize SUV with three rows
of seating, the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder should be on your
shopping list. Dedicated to driving comfort more so than
previous generations, Pathfinder still offers off-road abilities
while transporting passengers in a more comfortable
manner.
Pathfinder is a four-door, three row, seven-passenger SUV
that comes in five models, starting with an entry front wheel
drive “S” at $30,290 up to the top line Platinum 4x4, which
starts at $43,560 and just happens to be our tester for the
week. A Platinum Midnight Edition 4x4 with black style cues
from wheels to spoiler goes for $44,955. (All Pathfinder
models are available in either front drive or 4x4).
This “more comfortable” new generation Pathfinder
arrived in 2013 with a major change in chassis design.
Specifically, 2012 and previous Pathfinders relied on Nissan’s
truck chassis that afforded 8.7-inches of ground clearance.
These Pathfinders made for great off-road and towing
performers but lacked in the creature comfort and smooth
ride category.
As consumer demands changed and SUVs became the
nor m rather than the exce ption, Nissan revamped
Pathfinder’s chassis setup in 2013 and integrated a car-like
unibody frame. Although resulting in less ground clearance
(now 7.0-inches), the unibody chassis immediately delivered
a more comfortable ride and made purchasing a Pathfinder
more enticing. The ride is greatly improved and there’s also
more interior room to utilize for family and cargo. Towing

Dear abby Halloween events

Different approaches to religion
Jeanne Phillips
are likely to drive couple apart
Dear Abby: For the first time in my life,
I am in love. We met about a month ago.
I know he’s the man I have waited my
entire life to meet. I am 33, so I know
what I feel isn’t just lust. We have one
huge hurdle, though: religion. He’s ac-
tively religious, while I am not, and he
doesn’t believe our relationship can sur-
vive this difference.
On every other level, we are wonder-
ful. We want the same things in life and
share similar values. Our difference
isn’t that I don’t believe in God. I do.
But that isn’t enough for him.
I told him I would go to church with him
and raise our children (his and mine) in
a Christian home, but when they are old
enough we should allow them to make
their own decisions. He says that would
be “just going through the motions” and
I’d eventually resent him for it.
Must I let him walk away? Or should I
fight for what could be (next to my kids)
the best thing that’s ever happened to
me? — Heartbroken In Texas
Dear Heartbroken: In what way do you
plan to “fight?” Do you plan to convert
to his religion and devote the kind of
time to it that he does? Think carefully
about what that would mean.
While his fervent religiosity is laud-
able, what this man doesn’t realize is
that regardless of the example he wants
to set for his children, eventually they
are going to make up their own minds
and live their lives the way they wish.
This “one difference” is a deal-break-
er. He is looking for a spiritual clone.
You’re not it, so let him go.
Dear Abby: The company I work for
recently switched to digital phones that
show the caller’s name and location on
a screen no matter where they are in
the building. Years ago, I formed the
habit of introducing myself when placing
a call: “Hi, this is Sally from marketing.
How are you, Trent? Great! I’m calling
because ...” I have been informed that
what I’m doing is old-fashioned, unnec-
essary and a waste of everyone’s time.
The preferred method would be to
launch into the heart of the conversa-
tion with no introduction, just “Hi. I need
instructions for the new projectors,” be-
cause the person already knows who is
calling. To me, this feels rude, especially
when talking with someone I see rarely.
I can’t help but wonder what the long-
term office climate will be like if every-
one is so terse. On the other hand,
many of my younger co-workers would
prefer not to talk at all and conduct busi-
ness by email or text. Any conversation
feels excessive to them, and they are
humoring me by answering the phone.
Where is the middle ground here?
How can I maintain what feels like basic
good manners and human interaction
without annoying my colleagues? — Po-
lite In California
Dear Polite: There are certain niceties
that make interactions with others more
pleasant. While you may no longer have
to announce that you are “Sally from
marketing,” it is polite to inquire how
the person is doing or how the day is go-
ing. It’s a pleasant conversation-starter
and a transition into the business you
will conduct. Because you are getting
flak for it, go to your employer or H.R. for
guidance in navigating the new system.

Buren, also known as Jeanne Phil-
lips, and was founded by her mother,

Help me, Harlan!

Dad needs help convincing teen son to

Harlan Cohen avoid getting drunk and hooking up
Dear Harlan: I have a teen-
age son who thinks he’s in-
destructible. He has friends
who drink heavily and I’m
worried about him. I’ve ex-
plained to him that he can’t
get together with a girl who
has been drinking because
it’s too dangerous. He thinks
I’m overreacting and being
an overprotective dad.
Is there anything you can
tell my son to help him un-
derstand why I’m telling him
this? He won’t listen to me,
so maybe he’ll listen to you.
Any words of wisdom? —
Concerned Dad
Dear Concerned Dad: I met
a college guy the other day
who had his life rocked af-
ter a casual hookup. It hap-
pened while he was totally
sober. He hooked up with a
girl he met at a party. They
went back to his place, had
sex, exchanged numbers
and then shared a goodbye
kiss. The next day, she filed
a report. He was charged
with rape and was facing

the possibly of 60 years in
prison. After a formal inves-
tigation, lawyers and a four-
month legal nightmare, he
was cleared of all charges.
He 100 percent didn’t do it.
This could have happened to
your son — it can happen to
any of our sons.
Had there been alcohol in-
volved, it’s hard to say what
would have changed. The
investigation could have re-
sulted in his guilt. As a rule,
if you don’t think the sex
will be there tomorrow, nev-
er have it today. Moving too
fast is dangerous. It’s hard
to know what will happen
the next day when you’ve
only known someone for a
few hours. As for sobriety, if
he can’t hook up sober, he
should never hook up while
drunk. If someone is drunk,
there’s no way to get clear
consent.
Now you have advice from
me and a guy who’s been
there, and you can pass this

Dear Harlan: I run a vol-

meals and get groceries and
other necessities to people
who are homebound. One of
my volunteers likes to stir
the pot. She is always the
victim and never the prob-
lem — it’s always everyone
else’s fault.
Because this is a volunteer
group, it’s hard to get her
to listen to me. She acts
like she is doing everyone
a favor. I need to let her go.
She’s disruptive and distract-
ing. The other volunteers are
fed up. Is there an easy way
to do this without her retal-
iating?
We have mutual friends,
and we certainly will see
each other again for holidays
and events. I know she will
not take this well, but I also
know I can’t let this contin-
ue. I’m at a loss. Any sugges-
tions? — Volunteer Trouble
