OPEN OP EN LETT LETTER ER TO THE THE VOTE VOTERS RS OF PLYM PLYMOU OUTH TH BORO BOROUG UGH H My name is James Mahon and I am running for a seat on the Plymouth Borough Council in the May 2013 primary on the Democrat side of the ballot. Since my early childhood growing up on Avondale Hill in Plymouth Township, this community has played a very important part of my life. I currently reside in Plymouth. I have seen Plymouth in the best of times and now in the worst of times. Remember when Plymouth was looked at as an ideal place to live, work and raise a family; when push came to shove we let all know that it was “SHAWNEE AGAINST THE WORLD!”? In the past Plymouth has produced outstanding individuals, from Governors, to professional athletes, business leaders and good hard working citizens. I remember a Plymouth one that was famous and proud and not for a town involved in extensive criminal activity. No longer is it “SHA “SHAWNEE WNEE AGAINST AGAINST THE WORLD”, it is the world laughing at old Shawnee! I can no longer sit by and watch, the only way I know how to ﬁx the problem is by getting involved and running for council. My Platform is very simple; • Lower taxes (We pay enough already) - ELIMINATING BOROUGHMANAGER POSITION POSITION • I am not a politician and will make the decisions necessary to make Plymouth a b etter place to live even if that means I am a one term councilperson. • Welcome our new neighbors, who have relocated to our town, make them feel part of the community and get them to become involved. • Hold all absentee landlords accountable. • Increase funding for Police protection. • Eliminate the Borough Manager position this will save tax dollars and let us reduce what you pay. • Look into the positives of changing our borough government through (eg.) a “Home Rule Study Commission” this may be a pathway to reduced property taxes and gain better services.’ • Have council support the efforts of Plymouth Alive and be a partner with citizen projects. • No more closed door, back room deals. All borough business to be conducted in open meetings with citizens allowed and encouraged to ask questions . • Promote business growth and expansion. • Have complete accountability for all funds that are being distributed to the borough no matter what source they come through, including redevelopment. • Work with the school district to provide access to our young people so that they have a p lace to safely socialize and play throughout the year. • Reach out to our neighboring boroughs for consolidated management of expenses for police protection and purchasing power for future projects. This is our town and if you are tired of the good old boys running it into the ground, join me and help take it back. My name is JAMES MAHON and I am running for council on the Democrat ticket and am humbly asking for your vote on May 21st.

Thank you for your time. James Mahon

Legalization and a path to citizenship for the ﬁft million illegal immigrants now residing in our countr, is the overarching goal.

A few minutes after accepting theleague’s MostImprovedPlayMostImprovedPlayer Award, the 6-foot-9 swingman pro promise mised d to work work even even hard harder er to attain the biggest rewards of all — an NBA title and perhaps an MVP.

“I think I can play at an MVP lev level. el. I thin think k that’s very very much within reach,” George George said Tuesday. “For me, it’s all about being consiste cons istent nt and hav having ing that aggressive mindset.” George has already emerg emerged ed as one of the league’s top young players, which explains his runaway victory victory in the ball ballotin oting. g. He received 52 of 120 first-place votes and 311 points, more than double the total of New Orleans’ Grei Greivi viss Vasq asquez uez,, who had 13 first-place votes and 146 points.

Milwaukee’ Milwauk ee’ss Larry Sanders was third third with 141 points and was one of three players to receive 10 first-place votes. Aspartof theaward, theaward, a 20 2012Kia 12Kia Sorrento will be donated to the Hawthorne Community Center Center,, George’s hand-picked charity. George is also expected to be one of the top vot vote-ge e-gette tters rs for the Defensive Player of the Year Aw Award,an ard,an honorcoach Frank Frank Vogel lobbied hard for Tuesday. The question is whether George has what it takes to chal-

lenge leng e for the league’s top indi vidual honor. honor. “W “With ith the phy physica sicall tale talent nt he has, has, wit with h thedriv thedrive e hehas, there there’’s no ceiling for him,” Vogel Vogel said. If 2012-13prove 2012-13proved d anything,it’s anything,it’s that George is a man of his word. Before leaving town after last seas season’ on’s East Eastern ern Confere Conference nce semifinal loss to LeBron James and eventual champion Miami, George Georg e walked into Vogel’s office and promised to come back with a more aggressive mindset and as a more versatile scorer.

James’ Jame s’ guid guidance ance help helped ed him reach those goals. The two worke worked d out together in Las Vegas as the U.S U.S.. team prepared prepar ed for the Olympics, but all the while George was watchingand learn learningfro ingfrom m thebest— not just James. “It was huge. Me, growing up, idolizing guys like Kobe, watching his whole regimen, watching what time he got up to work out, watching what he was putting in his body,” George said. “The younger guys, guys, we was totally the

opposite, so I had to kind of take notes and follow what they were doing.” The results impress impressed ed his teammate team mates, s, coac coaches hes and many around the league. George Georg e aver averaged aged 17.4 points and 7.6 rebounds rebounds this season season,, both career highs, and was the only player in the league with at least least 140 steals and 50 blocks blocks..

IN BRIEF Workers will get assistance

WA WASHING SHINGTON TON — The richest Americans got richer during

US Airways up, up and away Full planes were good to US Airways in the ﬁrst quarter. The nation’s nation’s ﬁfthﬁfth-larg largest est airli airline ne on Tuesday posted a bigger adjusted proﬁt as it carried more passengers, and collected more from them. Automatic government spending cuts hurt demand from government travelers, who account for about 3 percent of US Airways revenue. Revenue from government travelers dropped 37 percent in March, when the spending cuts kicked in. The airline has a hub at Reagan National Airport in Washington. The airline airline earned $44 mil million, lion, or 26 cents per share. Its adjusted proﬁt was 31 cents per share, topping the expectations of analysts polled by FactSet. Revenue rose 3.5 percent to $3.38 billion, driven by what the airline called “a strong demand environment.”

Poland’s 787s to ﬂy in June Polish national airline LOT said its Boeing 787s, grounded for months due to battery problems, will resume ﬂying in June and it will seek compensation from Boeing. LOT’s chief executive says both of the airline’s 787s will resume commercial ﬂights to North America and China following repairs and test ﬂights. The two planes are currently on the ground in Chicago and Warsaw. LOT is Europe’s only airline to have 787s.

The upper 7 percent percent of households owned 63 percent of the nation’s total household wealth in 2011, up from 56 percent in 2009, said the report from the Pew Research Center, which analyzed new Census Bureau data released last month. The main reason for the widening wealth gap is that afﬂuent households househ olds typically typically own stocks andother ﬁnancial ﬁnancial holdin holdings gs that incre increased ased in val value, ue, while while the less wealthy tend to have more of their assets in their homes, which haven’t haven’t rebou rebounded nded from the plunge in home values, the report said. Tuesday’ Tuesday’s report is the latest to point up ﬁnancial inequality that has been growi growing ng among Americans for decades, a development that helped fuel the Occupy Wall Street protests. A September Census Bureau report on income found that the highest-earnin highest -earning g 20 perce percent nt of households househ olds earned more than half of all income the previous year,, the bigges year biggestt shar share e in records kept since 1967.

I count my blessings that if I get serious abou aboutt my diet, weight and exercise I only need to take a pill every day rather than taking shots. But manage my diet? Are you kidding? I’m a professional chef; my life is about food. No Now w what what?? Ho How w wi will ll it aff affectwha ectwhatt I ea eatt ev ever ery y da day? y? I re reac ache hed d outto the the American Americ an Diabet Diabetes es Associa Association tion for som some e help,and help,and they they tol told d me it all all com comes es downto downto havi having ng a pl plan an.. That That plan plan nee needs ds to inc includ lude e low low-car -carb b offerings, fering s, sugar-free sugar-freeoffering offerings, s, etc. For br breakf eakfast,for ast,for exampl example, e, thi think nk abo about ut whole-gr whol e-grainwafﬂes ainwafﬂes,, uns unswee weeten tened ed cereal,fresh real, fresh fruits (strawber (strawberries, ries, bananas bananas or mangos mangos)) anddon’t for forget get non non-fat -fat Gr Gree eek k yogu yogurt.I’m rt.I’m havi having ng a vi visi sion on of a fre fresh sh spring spring aspara asparagus gus frittata frittata..

At lunch and dinner, take advantage of all the spring greens — butter lettuce, spinach and watercress, which you can top with radish radishes, es, tomatoes, mushrooms and cucumbers in a light vinaigrette dressing. Add grilled chicken, shrimp, steak or salmon to make it a full meal choice. How about grilling up a piece of tilapia and ﬂavoring it with freshsqueezed lime? You can serve it as a ﬁsh taco with butter lettuce, tomatoes and non-fat plain Greek yogurt. Or you can can stir-fry stir-fry Sw Swiss iss cha chard rd with with onions, mushrooms and garlic in a small amount of olive oil. Add some toasted pine nuts, and you create the perfect side dish to go with the tilapia.

I made no mention of DESSERT! I know this is going to be one of my biggest challenges. (I love dessert and lots of it.) How about a fresh Triple Berry Pie. Yes, pie, the perfect ending to an awesome meal, served with fresh-brewed fresh-brewed coffee or steeped tea. I know I could eat a few slices, but moderation is the key to my success.
