Paid Advertisement OPEN LETTER TO THE VOTERS OF PLYMOUTH BOROUGH 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 “SHAWNEE 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 BOROUGH MANAGER POSITION • I am not a politician and will make the decisions necessary to make Plymouth a better 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 place 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 Paid For and Sponsored by Committee to elect James Mahon PAGE 8A WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 2013 NEWS TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com Defendant in arson case says police interrogation unfair

Chef Jake Hizny prepared this sugar-free Triple Berry Pie. CHEF’S CORNER JAKE HIZNY Triple Berry Pie is a sweet treat sans the sugar I left my doctor’s office having been read the riot act. I am officially a Type 2 diabetic, after be- ing pre-diabetic for about 10 years. I count my bless- ings that if I get serious about 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. Now what? How will it affect what I eat every day? I reached out to the American Diabetes Association for some help, and they told me it all comes down to having a plan. That plan needs to include low-carb of- ferings, sugar-free offerings, etc. For breakfast, for example, think about whole-grain waffles, unsweetened ce- real, fresh fruits (strawberries, bananas or mangos) and don’t forget non-fat Greek yogurt. I’m having a vision of a fresh spring asparagus frittata. (I bet non-diabetics would love it also.) At lunch and dinner, take advan- tage of all the spring greens — but- ter lettuce, spinach and watercress, which you can top with radishes, tomatoes, mushrooms and cucum- bers 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 fresh- squeezed lime? You can serve it as a fish taco with butter lettuce, tomatoes and non-fat plain Greek yogurt. Or you can stir-fry Swiss chard with on- ions, 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. And don’t be afraid to use such whole grains as barley, quinoa or brown rice as your sides or additions to the entrées. So what’s missing? I made no mention of DESSERT! Iknowthis is going to be one of my biggest chal- lenges. (I love dessert and lots of it.) How about a fresh Triple Berry Pie. Yes, pie, the perfect ending to an awe- some meal, served with fresh-brewed coffee or steeped tea. I know I could eat a few slices, but moderation is the key to my success.
