Serena Williams has been
known to say she isnt
satisfied with
this or that
aspect of
her game,
even after
easily
winning a
match, say, 6-3, 6-2.
So it was refreshing to
hear Williams praise
herself after a victory by
that very score over
Maria Kirilenko at
Wimbledon on Saturday.
Williams was one of a
number of past
champions who breezed
into the fourth round
Saturday, joined by Roger
Federer, Rafael Nadal and
Maria Sharapova.

MESHOPPEN It seemedtoo
goodtobe true toLisa Sands and
her sister Sandra Owen.
Painfully waiting nine years
for justice in the killing of their
sister, Tammy
Fassett, Sands
and Owen were
looking for-
ward to sitting
in a Luzerne
County cour-
troom for the
death penalty
trial of Hugo
Selenski.
Jury selec-
tion was set to
begin Monday.
That was un-
til President
Judge Thomas
Burke Jr. delayed Selenskis trial
after a request by attorney John
Pike.
When we got word the trial
was going to take place after pa-
tiently waiting and crying all
these years, we felt relieved,
Sands said, her tone quickly
changing. We should have
known better. What the hell is
going on down there in Luzerne
County?
Burke signed the request on
behalf of Senior Judge Chester
Muroski on June 3 without giv-
ing prosecutors a say in the mat-
ter.
Pike wanted the trial post-
poned, sayinghis mitigationspe-
cialist, expected to be called to
testify in the event of a convic-
tion, is unavailable for the re-
mainder of the year because of
other commitments in state and
federal capital court proceed-
ings.
The mitigation specialist was
not named in Pikes motion.

When chamber of com-
merce officials talk about
Northeastern Pennsylvania,
one of the things they often
cite as the regions strong point
in addition to a strong work
ethic and reasonable cost of
living is its location.
Thanks to access to inter-
states 81, 80, 390, 84 and 476,
the region gives residents easy
and direct access to New En-
gland, NewYork, Philadelphia,
Washington, Baltimore and
Upstate New York.
With gas prices still hover-
ing in the $3.50 per gallon
range, some travelers might be
rethinking taking a summer
vacation. But there are plenty
of destinations accessible in
one day and on a single tank of
fuel.
Northeast Pennsylvania is
located in a unique position for
travelers looking to get away
this summer, said AAA Mid-
Atlantic spokeswoman Jana
Tidwell. Travelers in this re-
gion can drive in any direction
and find a variety of destina-
tions and activities, all on a
tank of gas or less. Whether
you like the beach or big cities,
mountains or lakeside retreats,
history or hideaways, there is a
one-tank trip for everyone
within a few short hours.
Fuel up for fun thats
closer than you think
There are plenty of great
destinations that are a single
tank of gas away from here.
Parade Magazine in todays
Times Leader features a story
on trips on a tank of gas by

TRIPOLI, LIBYA
Libya: Airstrikes kill 15
L
ibyan authorities accused NATO of
killing 15 people Saturday in an
airstrike that hit a restaurant and bak-
ery in the east, though the alliance said
there were no indications that civilians
had died.
It was the latest outcry from Libyan
leader Moammar Gadhafis govern-
ment blaming NATO for killing civil-
ians amid a four-month uprising that
has sparked a civil war. NATO insists it
does all it can to avoid such casualties.
Meanwhile, rebel representatives
said their fighters were coordinating
around the country for the zero hour
when their forces would reach the
capital of Tripoli.
The rebels said they have been work-
ing to cut fuel supplies from Tunisian
borders in an attempt to paralyze Gad-
hafis forces. Rebels also are making
homemade bombs and trying to ferry
other weapons to their comrades in
Tripoli, a spokesman for an under-
ground guerrilla group there said.
INDIANAPOLIS
Clinics can get aid again
Planned Parenthood clinics in Indi-
ana started seeing Medicaid patients
again Saturday, the day after a federal
judge ruled the state couldnt cut off
the organizations public funding for
general health services just because it
also provides abortions.
Planned Parenthood spokeswoman
Kate Shepherd said she didnt know
how many Medicaid patients had vis-
ited the groups 28 clinics since Friday
nights federal court ruling, but the
clinics usually average about 80 a day.
Saturday is one of the busier days
because people dont have to take off
work, and they can get family members
to watch their children, Shepherd
said.
Planned Parenthood of Indiana has
been without Medicaid funding since
May 10, when Republican Gov. Mitch
Daniels signed the law that cut off
about $1.4 million and made Indiana
the first state to deny the organization
Medicaid funds for services such as
breast exams and Pap tests.
BEIRUT
Syrian death toll rises
Hundreds of Syrians, some with
gunshot wounds, crossed into neigh-
boring Lebanon in search of a refuge
from the growing government crack-
down in their homeland, a Lebanese
security official said Saturday.
Other Syrians marched in a funeral
for victims of the crackdown outside
Damascus, demanding President Bash-
ar Assads ouster.
Most refugees arriving at the Leba-
nese border came after Syrian security
forces opened fire on protesters in
anti-regime demonstrations across
Syria on Friday. Syrian activists said 20
people were killed, including two chil-
dren aged 12 and 13.
RENO, NEV.
Amtrak crash investigated
Federal authorities plan to look into
the driving and medical records of the
semitrailer driver who died when the
truck slammed into an Amtrak train,
killing a train crew member and in-
juring dozens of passengers.
Peter Knudson, a spokesman for the
National Transportation Safety Board,
said they also will look at autopsy
results to determine whether the driv-
er had consumed any drugs before the
collision Friday.
The big rig plowed into the Cali-
fornia-bound train at a crossing in a
rural area about 70 miles east of Reno.
Knudson said federal investigators
would make sure that railroad lights
and crossing gates were working at the
time.
Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari in
Oakland, Calif., said most of the in-
juries were not life-threatening.

Students chant slogans against
Moammar Gadhafi, during a demon-
stration Saturday at the court square
in the rebel-held capital Benghazi,
Libya.
NEW YORK Many obstacles still
lie ahead for supporters of same-sex
marriage, and eventually they will need
Congress or the Supreme Court to em-
brace their goal. For the moment,
though, they are jubilantly channeling
the lyrics of New York, New York.
Now that weve made it here, well
make it everywhere, said prominent
activist Evan Wolfson, who took up the
cause of marriage equality as a law stu-
dent three decades ago.
With a historic vote by its Legislature
late Friday, New York became the sixth
andby far the most populous state
to legalize same-sex marriage since
Massachusetts led the way, under court
order, in 2004.
With the new law, which takes effect
after 30 days, the number of Americans
in same-sex marriage states more than
doubles. New Yorks population of 19
million surpasses the combined total of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont,
NewHampshire and Iowa, plus the Dis-
trict of Columbia.
The outcome a product of inten-
sive lobbying by Democratic Gov. An-
drewCuomowill havenationwidere-
percussions.
New York sends the message that
marriage equality across the country is
a question of when, not if, said Fred
Sainz, a vice president of the Human
Rights Campaign.
This will be a big boost to our efforts
nationally, said Richard Socarides, a
former Clinton White House adviser on
gay rights.
The NewYork bill cleared the Repub-
lican-controlled Senate 33-29, thanks to
crucial support fromfour GOP senators
who joined all but one Democrat in vot-
ing yes. The Democratic-led Assembly,
which previously approved the bill,
passed the Senates stronger religious
exemptions in the measure, and Cuomo
swiftly signed it.
The Senate vote markedthe first time
a Republican-controlled legislative
chamber in any state has supported
same-sex marriage, and several promi-
nent Republican donors contributed to
the lobbying campaign on behalf of the
bill.
Bills to legalize same-sex marriage
failed in Maryland and Rhode Island.
However, Illinois, Hawaii and Delaware
approved civil unions, joining five other
states California, Nevada, New Jer-
sey, Oregon and Washington that
provide gaycouples withextensive mar-
riage-like rights.
Adding those eight states to the six
that allow gay marriage, more than 35
percent of Americans now live in states
where gay couples can effectively attain
the rights and responsibilities of mar-
riage. Just 11years ago, nostates offered
such rights.
For now, gay couples cannot get mar-
ried in 44 states, and 30 of them have
passedconstitutional amendments ban-
ning gay marriage.
N.Y. gay marriage vote is hailed
Backers see states legalization law
as critical to nationwide efforts.
Law passed Friday with GOP help.
KABUL, Afghanistan A su-
icide car bomber blasted a small
clinic Saturday in eastern Af-
ghanistan, causing the building
to collapse as mostly women
and children lined up for vacci-
nations, ma-
ternity care
and other ser-
vices. At least
35 people
were killed in
one of the
deadliest at-
tacks against
civilians this
year.
Guards saw
a sport utility vehicle charging
toward the Akbarkhail Public
Medical Center, a compound
that provides health care for the
mountainous area in the Azra
district of Logar province. But
before anyone could shoot the
driver or blow out the tires, the
SUV smashed through a wall
and exploded, local officials
said.
Wary of being blamed for ci-
vilian casualties, the Taliban de-
nied it was behind the bombing.
Violence has been on the rise
since the Islamic movement
launched its spring offensive
and promised retaliation for the
death of al-Qaida leader Osama
bin Laden.
This attack was not done by
our fighters, Taliban spokes-
man Zabiullah Mujahid told
The Associated Press in a tele-
phone interview.
Survivors of the blast and oth-
ers who heard the explosion
frantically dug through the rub-
ble with shovels and bare hands.
At least 35 bodies were pulled
from the debris and 53 other
people were wounded, provin-
cial public health director Dr.
Mohammad Zaref Nayebkhail
said.
The victims most women
and children included pa-
tients, visitors, and medical
staffers.
They were offering impor-
tant services for the people. We
had very good services and lots
of patients. There were only 10
beds but lots of other services in
that center. Its why the casual-
ties were so high, he said.
Nayebkhail said an Afghan ar-
my helicopter was dispatched to
the area to deliver medical sup-
plies and to ferry survivors to
other hospitals. He said the clin-
ic had recently been expanded
to meet the health needs of the
far-flung districts population.

MINOT, N.D. The Souris River
neareda lower-than-expectedcrest Satur-
day in Minot, where city officials hoped
to ride out the high water without losing
more than the thousands of homes al-
ready damaged by flooding.
The river had been expected to peak
Saturday evening at about 8
1
2 feet above
major flood stage, but it leveled off hours
earlier and the National Weather Service
dropped the projection by nearly 2 feet as
upstream flows weakened.
It was a brief boost for a city that has
already taken a heavy blow. Mayor Curt
Zimbelman said more than 4,000 homes
hadbeenfloodedinanevacuationzone of
neighborhoods nearest the river. About
11,000 people were ordered out earlier
this week.
Sgt. 1st Class David Dodds, a spokes-
man for North Dakotas National Guard,
said the situation had kind of stabilized
Saturday. The Souris channel wasnt get-
ting any wider.
The fact that more homes arent being
engulfed or being touched by the water,
thats the one silver lining if you can even
say there is one, Dodds said.
Gov. Jack Dalrymple said he was en-
couraged.
It looks to me like, barring any rainfall
... the (flood-fighting) plan looks like its
holding up very well, he said.
City spokesman Dean Lenertz said up-
datedestimates of thefloods toll werebe-
ing prepared. The citys water, sewer and
electric power systems were still work-
ing. Workers labored to keep the Broad-
way Bridge, a major north-south thor-
oughfare, from being overwhelmed, a
possibility that would divide the city in
half.
Zimbelman and others had fretted
about rain in the forecast, but the Nation-
al Weather Service said the storms didnt
appear to be widespread or long-lasting.
Fed by heavy rains upstream and dam
releases that have accelerated in recent
days, the Souris surged past a 130-year-
old record Friday and kept going.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency pledged assistance to flood vic-
tims in Burleigh and Ward counties,
which include Minot and Bismarck, the
state capital.

WASHINGTONIt might be time for
another midnight ride by Paul Revere,
this time warning the creditors are com-
ing.
Americans seemnot to have awakened
to the fast-looming debt crisis that could
summon a new recession, imperil their
stock market investments and shatter
faith in the worlds most powerful econo-
my. Those are among the implications,
both sudden and long-lasting, expected
to unfold if the U.S. defaults on debt pay-
ments for the first time in history.
Facing an August deadline for raising
the countrys borrowing limit or setting
loose the consequences, politicians and
economists are plenty alarmed. The peo-
ple? Apparently not so much.
Theyre divided on whether the raised
the limit, according to an Associated
Press-GfK poll that
found 41 percent op-
posed to the idea and
38 percent in favor.
People arent exactly
blase. A narrow major-
ity in the poll expects
an economic crisis to
ensue if the U.S., maxed
out on its borrowing ca-
pacity, starts missing
interest payments to
creditors. But even among that group, 37
percent say no dice to raising the limit.
In Washingtons humid air, talk of a fi-
nancial apocalypse is thick.
There are warnings of credit markets
in a state of panic, as the House Budget
Committee chairman, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-
Wis., put it, causing a sudden drop-off in
the countrys ability to borrow and push-
ing the government off a credit cliff.
He was characterizing a report by the
governments nonpartisan Congression-
al Budget Office that warns of a sudden
fiscal crisis in which investors might
abandonU.S. bonds andforce the govern-
ment to pay steep interest rates and im-
pose spending cuts and tax increases far
more Draconian than if default were
avoided.
The dire warnings appear to be falling
on unconvinced ears, at least so far.
Call it doomsday fatigue.
Republican leaders are insisting on
huge spending cuts as a condition for
raising the debt limit. This position finds
solid support from Republicans in the
poll and backing from a plurality of inde-
pendents.
About half of Democrats in the poll
said the debt limit should be raised re-
gardless of whether its paired with a deal
to cut spending.

to repair the parapets and roof.
June, 2007: An architect hired
to literally look beneath prob-
lems at Meyers tells the school
board renovation plans should be
scrapped because soil under the
building has settled much faster
than it should have, thanks to the
rise and fall of groundwater with
each surge of the Susquehanna
River.
I cant ethically recommend
renovating this building, archi-
tect Donald Kalina says. I dread-
ed coming here tonight to tell
you that.
February, 2008: The board re-
ceives new cost estimates for op-
tions to the Meyers problem:
$79.5 million to stabilize the
foundation and expand the build-
ing; $68.5 million to demolish it
and build a new school on the
the school board revisits the top-
ic. The consultants tell the board
complete renovations for Meyers
could cost nearly $35 million,
and that complete renovations of
all district schools could top $92
million.
Unfortunately, there are some
very difficult decisions that have
to be made in the near future,
Namey says.
August, 2006: Namey notes en-
rollment has not dropped as
quickly as predicted, and sug-
gests seeking updated projec-
tions. But he still argues for ma-
jor change, saying: We have to
reorganize this school district.
October, 2006: Scaffolding
goes up around the entrances of
Meyers to protect students from
the risk of falling bits of crum-
bling parapets. The board votes
A decade of mulling Meyers
fate:
June, 2001: Wilkes-Barre Area
School Board hires the Pennsyl-
vania Economy League to study
school district growth. The cost:
$16,800.
July, 2001: Citing state projec-
tions of a 1,450 drop in enroll-
ment by the end of the decade,
Wilkes-Barre Area Superintend-
ent Jeff Namey warns Were go-
ing to have to start cutting back,
especially schools, and men-
tions the idea of closing one of
three high schools.
October, 2001: The district an-
nounces plans to form a citizens
advisory committee to come up
with consolidation proposals.
April, 2002, The PEL study
shows a 13 percent drop in total
enrollment by 2012. The district
hires EdVise, at a cost of $36,000,
to conduct a study of all schools
and make recommendations for
restructuring. Talk of closing two
elementary schools and a high
school begins in earnest. Projec-
tions show enrollment dropping
9.2 percent at Meyers by 2006,
staying steady at Coughlin and
rising 14.5 percent at GAR.
Weve had the luxury of hav-
ing three (high) schools, but
thats ended now, board mem-
ber Ellen Smith says.
June, 2002: The board votes to
close Bear Creek and Mackin ele-
mentary schools.
October, 2002: The advisory
committee publicly discusses
converting one high school to a
middle school, but agrees all
three buildings should remain in
use. Nameysuggests the possibil-
ity of closing another elementary
school. We cant sit back and
wait three or four years, he says.
We simply dont have the mon-
ey.
February, 2003: The EdVise re-
port offers five options, three of
which would close Meyers. The
advisory committee favors op-
tion D, which would have closed
Flood and Dodson elementary
schools but left all three high
schools open.
June, 2003: An EdVise employ-
eetells theschool boardthat clos-
ing Meyers is the most logical
choice because it would cost the
most to repair: an estimated $4.2
million in short-termwork alone.
December, 2004: Having taken
no action on the EdVise study,
same site; $62.5 million to de-
molish Meyers and build a re-
placement at a new site; and
$72.5 to preserve the auditorium
which boasts a stained glass
ceiling while demolishing the
rest of the school and construct-
ing a replacement around the au-
ditorium.
Aseparate studyestimates ren-
ovations at Coughlin High
School at $36.5 million.
June 2011: The school boardre-
jects a motion to close Meyers by
the end of the 2012 school year,
voting instead to have district of-
ficials conduct a study on the ef-
fects of closing the school. The
study is to be completed by Jan.
12, 2012.
We have to start somewhere,
boardmember Phil Latinski says,
so this is the start.
Decade of decisions for future of Meyers High School
By MARK GUYDISH
mguydish@timesleader.com
member noted the district spent
$7 milliononrepairs at Meyers in
the last five years.
The decisiontoclose it may be-
come a matter of
simple math:
Does it cost more
to renovate the
structure or to re-
locate the roughly
900 students?
Itsafar cryfrom
the factors the
board weighed 10
years ago when
talk of closing one
of the districts
three high schools
first popped up.
Back then, it was
an expected decline in student
population that spurred the dis-
cussion. State projections and a
separatereviewbythePennsylva-
nia Economy League both pre-
dicted steep drops in district en-
rollment the state foretold a fal-
loff from 7,090 to 5,640 in a dec-
ade.
That would be like losing a
school and a half, Superintend-
ent Jeff Namey said at the time.
He floated the idea of closing one
of three high schools in coming
years.
But Namey also warned
against trusting the projections
too much, and with good cause.
During the 1990s, Hazleton Area
School District had consolidated
three highschools andclosedele-
mentary schools based on state
projections, only
to find its build-
ings bursting at
the seams. The
state enrollment
prognostications
based on birth
rates proved as
meaningful as a
fortune cookie
platitude.
We have to be
confident inthere-
liability of those
numbers, Namey
said in 2001.
His precaution proved pres-
cient. The district lost fewer than
200 students since 2001. The
three high schools house nearly
as many students nowas they did
then. Where the district did take
action, it seemed to backfire. In
2002 Bear Creek and Mackin ele-
mentary schools were closed.
Bear Creek reopened as a com- CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER

The board requested an
internal study to deter-
mine if the closing of
Meyers and relocation of
students can be done or
cannot be done, Namey
said. If it can be done,
we have to show how; if it
cant be done, we have to
show why not.

This is our first time at the

it, said Larry Femea of Wilkes-

autistic children.
I heard that there was going
to be a bunch of fun activities,
so Im glad I came. Ill definitely
be back next year.
A number of area colleges
and universities were on hand
to share the core purpose of the
event.
Weve been involved with
this event since its inception,
said LCCC Director of Admis-
sions Francis Curry, who is also
advisor to the colleges NAACP
club.
This is such a wonderful cel-
ebration of diversity and a victo-
ry for our community. Im proud
to be involved.
I think what this event
means to the community, is a
word that rhymes with commu-
nity and thats unity, said Scott
Richardson, director of the Di-
versity Center at Misericordia.
My experience with this
event over the past three years
has been one of gratitude that
we can come together in a kind
of fellowship and actually be
communal.
Diversity is a slow process.
This is a great place to start.

because of network overloads,
amateur radio operators were
able relay valuable information.
The Murgas Amateur Radio
Club, which takes its name from
local wireless communications
pioneer theRev. JosephMurgas,
was founded in1975.
Club member Elaine Kollar of
Swoyersville said amateur radio
operators were indispensable in
the aftermath of the Tropical
StormAgnes andthe1972flood.
Those operators, however, re-
alized they could have been
moreeffectiveif theywerebetter
organized. After another flood
scare in the years after Agnes,
the Murgas club was formed.
Amateur radio operator Rick
Brinton of Kingston said that in
an emergency the club would be
abletoestablishaninternational
communication network with
their emergency generator and
radio equipment.
The group had radios that uti-
lizedavarietyof communication
techniques, ranging fromMorse
code to satellite imagery and
messaging.
For OMalia, amateur radio
operation features another per-
sonal layer.
Im always on my farm or in
my greenhouses so I cant really
just get up and take a trip any-
where, he said.
OMalia has communicated
with other amateur radio oper-
ators from as far away as Russia
and Antarctica, often offering
gardening and growing tips.

was getting a little dry, but I just
pushed through it, he said. It
was kind of in my mind that I
have to finish.
Bryce Steele, 12, of Monroe
Township, took second and Mi-
chaela Buckley, 12, of Nanticoke,
finished third.
In the 7-to-10-year-old group,
brothers Robby Woolard, 10, and
Tyler Woolard, 7, both of Plains
Township, took home first and
second in the four-lap race, and
Carleigh Keene, 9, of Nanticoke,
finished third.
In the 6-and-under division,
Luke Peters, 5, of Wapwallopen,
finishedfirst, AidenZweibel, 6, of
Nanticoke, finished second and
Jenna Thomas, 5, of Nanticoke,
finished third, but the highlight
of the single-lap race may have
been 5-year-old Allison Browns
perseverant finish.
The girl from Nanticoke lost a
pedal after roundingthe final cor-
ner of the racetrack but soldiered
on, pedaling with one foot. The
crowd cheered her on as she bal-
anced her bike to the finish line, a
feat madeall themoreimpressive
because she didnt use training
wheels.
The event also brought local
officials and organizations to-
gether, including state Rep. Ger-
ald Mullery, D-Newport Town-
ship, who offered free sno-cones
andface-paintingat his campaign
tent, the Newport Township
Community Organization, which
hosted a free craft tent, and First
Assembly of God Church of
Wilkes-Barre, which brought 15
free childrens games.
Nanticoke is a very strong,
tight-knit community, Mullery
said, and when you have an
event like this and you can bring
together the vendors and the
non-profits, thats what brings an
event like this together.
Its a great way to go out and
meet the kids and bring them a
little joy in their lives, said First
Assembly of God Youth Pastor
Mike Smith, who lives in Nanti-
coke. The best way to reach
someone is to not ask for any-
thing, and in todays society
events like this work really well.
Our whole purpose is not to
make money, but toreachpeople,
and for that, this is great.
The event was organized by
the City of Nanticoke, its housing
authority and Facet Cycling LLC,
which also organizes annual bike
racing in Luzerne, Wilkes-Barre
and Laurel Run. Next in this
years series will be a hill climbup
Giants Despair on Aug. 23 and

COLUMBUS, Ohio The
longest walk parents can make,
Vice President Joe Biden often
says, is upstairs to tell the chil-
dren theyve lost their job.
Millions have been stripped
of their dignity, Biden told an
Ohio audience last year. Its
time to restore their dignity.
Biden, who spoke frequently
of his blue-collar roots in Scran-
tonduring the 2008 presidential
campaign, is reprising his role
as one of the Obama administra-
tions top surrogates on the
economy and an empathetic
voice in industrial Midwestern
states hard hit by the recession.
The former Delaware senator
is expected to play a similar role
in the 2012 campaign, focusing
on Ohio, Michigan, and Penn-
sylvania. President Barack Oba-
ma carried them in 2008, but
each elected Republican gover-
nors in 2010.
Alarge swath of the Midwest,
including Iowa, Indiana and
Wisconsin, which Obama also
won, are considered prime tar-
gets for Re-
publicans next
year.
He obvi-
ously has
deep, deep
roots in the in-
dustrial Mid-
west running
from Pennsyl-
vania right across and hell be
very valuable there, Obama
strategist David Axelrod said.
Biden, who was scheduled to
speak at the Ohio Democratic
Partys annual dinner Saturday,
has assailed moves by GOP gov-
ernors in Wisconsin and Ohio to
strip away collective bargaining
rights from most public work-
ers.
Hes also criticized efforts by
Republicans in Congress to turn
Medicare into a program with
federal subsidies for beneficiar-
ies who would seek coverage
from private insurers.
The vice president has de-
fended Obamas handling of the
economy, pointing to tough de-
cisions to seek an economic
stimulus package and rescue
U.S. automakers. Theres still a
long way to go. There are still
millions of women and men
who are like the family I was
raised in, Biden told Demo-
crats in New Hampshire.

LANCASTER Amish vot-
ers in Pennsylvania would be in-
cluded in a requirement to show
government-issued identifica-
tionineachelectionunder legis-
lation approved by the state
House last week, but they could
get an exemption from the re-
quirement for a photo on the ID
card.
Lawmakers tell the (Lancas-
ter) Intelligencer Journal/Lan-
caster New Era that Plain sect
voters wouldbeabletoget a reli-
gious exemption fromthe provi-
sion requiring a photograph on
ID cards. But to do so, they will
have to clear more regulatory
hurdles than the average voter,
since getting such a card in-
volves providing PennDOT
with a statement of their beliefs
signed by their church districts
bishop.
Rep. John Lawrence, R-Ches-
ter, who wrote the bills exemp-
tion provisions, said They have
to show a state-issued ID just
like other voters. Theyre not
getting a pass.
Under current law, voters
must showa validformof IDon-
ly the first time they vote. Under
the bill approved Thursday by
the House, voters would be re-
quired to showa government-is-
sued photo ID before casting a
ballot in any election.
Rep. Mike Sturla, D-Lancas-
ter, voted against the legisla-
tion, saying it would suppress
turnout. He also cited data that
showed only four cases of mis-
representation at state polls
since 2004 out of 19.4 million
ballots cast.
Lawrence said he worked
with Amish leaders to craft a
suitable amendment allowing
them to forego the photo.
They have to present a print-
out form that says, I have a reli-
gious objection to being photo-
graphed. Im a member of XYZ
church, and then the Amish
bishop must sign off on the bot-
tom of the form, Lawrence
said.
PennDOTwill check the bish-
ops nameinits records andthen
issue a nonphoto ID.
Those who choose not to ap-
ply for a government ID would
still be able to cast a provisional
ballot, but the legislation would
require them to return to the
county courthouse within six
days to prove who they are.
Voter ID law would cause
extra red tape for Amish
Govt-issued photo ID would
be required before casting a
ballot in any election.

Whether youre looking for an
outdoor adventure, wanting to
catch a baseball game, hoping to
tour a historic site or just want to
get away for some family fun, the
options are limitless.
Here are a few:
PLAY BALL
There are four Major League
Baseball teams that play within a
tank of gas of Wilkes-Barre. But if
a ticket to the NewYork Yankees,
New York Mets, Baltimore
Orioles or Philadelphia Phillies
is a bit too pricey, then minor
league baseball may be right for
you.
There are no fewer than 21
other professional baseball
teams playing within 200 miles
of Wilkes-Barre.
Besides our very own Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, who
play in Moosic, there is another
Triple A team playing in eastern
Pennsylvania the Lehigh Valley
Iron Pigs in Allentown. At the
Double A level, the Binghamton
Mets, Harrisburg Senators, Tren-
ton Thunder and Reading Phil-
lies are all within a tank of gas
and with reasonable prices for
tickets, food and parking.
There are quite a few Single A
teams, as well. In addition to the
Williamsport Crosscutters, there
are the Wilmington Blue Rocks,
Lakewood BlueClaws, State Col-
lege Spikes, Staten Island Yan-
kees, Hudson Valley Renegades,
Brooklyn Cyclones, Auburn Dou-
bledays and Hagerstown Suns.
And just over two hours away,
in the picturesque village of Coo-
perstown, N.Y., are the hallowed
halls of the Baseball Hall of
Fame. Induction ceremonies for
the Class of 2011, including Bert
Blyleven and Roberto Alomar
will take place July 23.
The Little League World Se-
ries in South Williamsport is also
a nice place to catch a game. The
series begins Aug. 18 and a
champion will be crowned on
Aug. 28.
FAMILY FUN
Amusement parks are plenti-
ful within a days drive, so no
need to pay for the extra room at
a hotel.
For the wee ones, Knoebels
Amusement Resort in Elysburg
is always a hit and a longstand-
ing tradition for many North-
eastern and Central Pennsylva-
nia families. Theres also Dutch
Wonderland in Lancaster, Cam-
elbeach water park in Tanners-
ville and Sesame Place in Lang-
horne. For the bigger kids and
the young at heart, there are
amusement parks with more
heart-stopping rides, such as
Dorney Park and Wild Water
Kingdom near Allentown, Six
Flags Great Adventure in Jack-
son, N.J., and Hershey Park in
Hershey.
If youre looking for less stress-
ful, more educational family
trips, the Philadelphia Zoo,
aquariums in Baltimore and
Camden, the Corning Museum
of Glass in Corning, N.Y., and the
Crayola Factory in Easton are
sure to make the grade for par-
ents and children alike.
Or make it a day at the beach.
The Jersey shore has plenty of
public beaches -- some are free,
some you need to buy an access
badge for. There are beaches and
lakes at state and national recre-
ation areas, as well.
LIVING HISTORY
Northeastern Pennsylvania
has its fair share of historical at-
tractions, including the Steam-
town National Historic Site in
Scranton. But not far away there
are plenty of historic battlefields.
Among them are Gettysburg,
Brandywine, Paoli and Mon-
mouth.
Though no battles were ac-
tually fought there, Valley Forge
and Washingtons Crossing are
full of history and importance in
our countrys path to independ-
ence.
A day trip to Philadelphia is
probably not enough to take in
even a tenth of what the City of
Brotherly Love has to offer by
way of history, but if youre look-
ing for the obvious, head to the
Liberty Bell, the Constitution
Center, Independence Hall, Be-
tsy Ross House, the cobblestone
lined Elfreths Alley, the Art Mu-
seum and Christ Church Burial
Ground where Ben Franklin and
four signers of the Declaration of
Independence are buried. When
you walk by Franklins tomb,
along Arch Street, near Fifth
Street, its customary to toss a
penny onto his grave.
OFFBEAT
The largest exhibition of
mummies and related artifacts
ever assembled is on display
through Oct. 23 at The Franklin
Institute in Philadelphia.
If toy robots are your thing,
then take a jaunt down to the
Reading area and visit Adam-
stown, home of Joe Knedlhans
and his Toy Robot Museum.
Open Friday, Saturday and Sun-
day only, the museum boasts
thousands of robots and a gift
shop. Admission is just $1.50.
Just a stop at the shopping vil-
lage where the museum is locat-
ed is worth the trip. Built like a
medieval town, where the shop-
keepers actually live above their
businesses, Stoudtburg Village
includes antiques, collectibles, a
doll shop and even a winery.
Twenty-two miles from Adam-
stown, in the Berks County bor-
ough of Centerport, youll have
to make a decision when you
come to the fork in the road. Not
just whether to go to the left or
to the right but whether to get
out of your vehicle and take a pic-
ture of the literal fork in the road.
At Main Street and Centerport
Road, right in the heart of town,
there stands an 8-foot-tall, 80-
pound fork at the intersection.
ADULT BEVERAGES
A day trip can land you at
Americas oldest brewery Yuen-
gling in Pottsville or at any of
the dozens of wineries in Penn-
sylvania, New Jersey or New
York. But drinking and driving
will land you in jail. So if you do
make these trips, bring a desig-
nated driver or know when to
say when.
There are several wine trails,
including those in the Finger
Lakes region of New York, the
Endless Mountains of Pennsylva-
nia or Berks County. In addition
to Yuengling, you can take tours
of breweries like Brewery Om-
megang in Cooperstown, N.Y.,
Cooperstown Brewing, in Mil-
ford, N.Y., Weyerbacher Brewing
in Easton, Stoudts Brewing in
Adamstown and Victory Brew-
ing in Downingtown.
For families on a budget,
these one tank -- or less -- trips
offer destinations and activities
to meet a variety of interests
without breaking the bank. Plan-
ning shorter trips and economiz-
ing in other areas can allow fam-
ilies to continue -- or begin --
summer travel traditions on a
budget, Tidwell said.

was spent onthe school itself, he
estimated, most of that on emer-
gencyrepairstoacrumblingpara-
pet and a methodical replace-
ment of leaking roof sections.
The board had learned its lesson
from roof repairs at GAR, where
fixes were made piecemeal, driv-
ing up the overall cost.
We have these old buildings,
and old buildings need to be kept
up, and things break down boil-
ers, roofs they are 80 to 100
years old.
Awalking school
With three high schools, why
opt to close Meyers? After all, it
boasts an impressive faade and
details inside that are truly irre-
placeable, most notably the audi-
toriums stained-glass ceiling
with the seals of 48 states (the
school opened29years beforethe
addition of Alaska and Hawaii).
It is also, Nameynoted, primar-
ily a walking school, with stu-
dents opting to arrive on foot.
Moving them to other schools
would likely mean most of those
students would end up on buses,
driving up transportation costs.
seven through 12 in Meyers, we
have to take seventh and eighth
grades and divide them between
GAR and Solomon Junior high
schools.
In theory, the junior high sec-
tion of the Solomon/Plains Me-
morial building has some room,
but in reality the elementary
grades have expanded so rapidly
two trailers have been added
that sixth-grade students have
startedusingthejunior highside,
Namey said. There is no room
over there.
The board requested an inter-
nal study to determine if the clos-
ing of Meyers and relocation of
students can be done or cannot
bedone, Nameysaid. If it canbe
done, we have to show how; if it
cant be done, we have to show
why not.
Options are expensive
The district does have another
theoretical option: Remodel and
reopen vacant buildings. Mackin
remains unoccupied, but Namey
notedit is designedas anelemen-
tary school and would need ma-
jor renovation to get up and run-
ning for junior high students.
The former Plains Township
high school still stands. The Lu-
zerne Intermediate Unit, a sepa-
rate agency that provides multi-
ple services to area districts
houses its Alternative Learning
Center therefor students withbe-
havioral problems too disruptive
for the regular classroom.
But, Plains needs even more
work, Namey said. In fact, the
LIUhas lookedunsuccessfullyfor
another building with fewer re-
pair issues.
Wilkes-Barre Area has consid-
ered property beyond its own
holdings. We looked at some of
the closed parochial schools,
Namey said, but they were too
expensive.
Of course, keeping the current
schools operatinghas alsoproven
expensive as that $7 million
spent on Meyers suggests,
though Namey said the figure is
misleading. A chunk of that was
used on the stadium.
I would say about $5 million
munity charter school andenroll-
ment ballooned to the point of it
needinganaddition. Tworemain-
ing district ele-
mentary
schools over-
flowed, requir-
ing multiple
trailer class-
rooms in recent
years.
With that
kind of track re-
cord, can the
district realisti-
cally expect to
shift more than
900 Meyers stu-
dents intoother
buildings? Not-
ing he has been
tasked by the
school board to
research that
very question,
Namey initially
demurred; but after reviewing
thenumbersof thelast decade, he
conceded My initial impression
is we cant.
Rated capacity numbers
Historically, the answer is an
unequivocal yes, Namey noted.
All three high schools were built
with a rated capacity in excess of
1,500. That theoretically means
any two of them could hold the
2,882studentswhowereenrolled
in the three schools this year.
But those capacity numbers
come from the early 1900s, when
it was common to have 30 and 40
students per room, there were no
laws requiring complex facilities
andservices for special education
students and the notion of a
computer lab belonged in a
Buck Rogers comic, not a high
school.
The capacity is no longer that
number, Namey said. Obvious-
ly, we need to take a very hard
look at that. If we have approxi-
mately 1,000 students in grades
And Meyers is an anchor that
some believe holds the entire
South Wilkes-Barre neighbor-
hood together.
It was the consulting firm Ed-
Vise, hired in 2002 to review all
schools in the district and make
recommendations, that singled
out Meyers, as the most logical
choice for closure, estimating
needed renovation work was the
most costly there, at $4.2million.
The figure mushroomed over
the years. In 2004, EdVise esti-
mated complete renovation of
Meyers at nearly $35 million
more than a third of a projected
$92milliontorenovateall thedis-
tricts schools.
Despite those daunting num-
bers, the board took tentative
steps toward redoing Meyers,
bringing in engineers to test the
grounds andinspect thebuilding.
In 2008, one of those consultants
brought more bad news: The
foundationof theschool wasbuilt
on soft soil that had compressed
far faster than it should have. Es-
timatedcost tostabilizeandreno-
vate: $79.5 million.
Another companywas calledin
for a second opinion and con-
firmedthe diagnosis. The soil un-
der theschool hadbeensaturated
every time the nearby Susque-
hanna River swelled to flood
stage, then compacted when the
river retreated. The foundation
has settled at least three times
faster and deeper than it
should have, shifting by as much
as 12 inches in some spots.
The results are subtle but sig-
nificant floors that slant, doors
that dont quite close, cracks in
masonry. Yet, Namey noted, the
buildingis sosolidthat engineers
saidit canbe usedfor another 40
or 50 years before there are seri-
ous structural issues.
As the school board struggles
to bridge what, in February, had
beenan$8 millionshortfall inthe
upcoming budget, the question
has become: Can the district af-
ford to keep using Meyers?
Meyers High has welcomed students since 1930 into impressive halls but faces an uncertain future
as the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board has renewed the idea of closing the venerable building.

we do as victims, said an an-
gered Sands. Somebody should
have spoken up and asked for a
hearing to find out why this ex-
pert cant be here.
Investigators believe Fassett
and Michael Kerkowski were
killedinMay 2002 at Kerkowskis
Hunlock Township home and
buried in a shallowgrave outside
the KingstonTownshiphouse Se-
lenski then occupied. Their bod-
ies were discovered June 5, 2003,
alongwiththecharredremains of
Adeiye Keiler, Frank James and
an unidentified person.
A Luzerne County jury acquit-
ted Selenski in the slayings of
Keiler and James after a two-
week trial in March 2006. He was
convicted, however, of abusing
their bodies, which he burned in
a pit on the 6-acre property on
Mount Olivet Road.
After the 2006 trial, then Dis-
trict Attorney David Lupas
charged Selenski with the stran-
gulation murders of Fassett and
Kerkowski.
Since then, Selenskis trial has
been scheduled and delayed nu-
merous times because of appeals.
With all these delays, I dont
cry anymore, Sands said. I feel
more resentment, hatred to-
wards a lot of people than I do
anything else. This has been go-
ing on for so long, it will be a dec-
ade next May when our sister
was killed.
Sands said she was unaware of
any prosecutorial strategy by Lu-
pas to seek separate trials for Se-
lenski, 37, for the confirmed re-
mains recovered at his former
house. She alleges Lupas broke a
promise to her family when he
successfully campaigned for
county judge rather thanfocus on
prosecuting Selenski for the mur-
ders of Fassett and Kerkowski.
Dave said to us after that
(March 2006) trial was over that
he was going to see the next trial
through to the end, Sands said.
That is what he told me and my
family in the courthouse. When I
found out he was running for
judge, I blew my top.
Dave said, I promise Im go-
ing to see this case through,
Owen recalled. We know what
happened after that.
A message left on a voicemail
at Lupas courthouse chambers
was not returned on Friday.
Sands said she remains confi-
dent current District Attorney
Jacqueline Musto Carroll will
prosecute Se-
lenski when the
trial takes
place. Musto
Carroll has a
team of investi-
gators and as-
sistant district
attorneys help-
ing her prepare
for the trial.
When Jack-
ie took over the
case, I thought
maybe two or
three years at
the latest. Jack-
ie was working
her fingers to
the bone to get
this case going.
But I never
dreamed my
whole life that
it would take
this long to try
somebody for
murder. I see all
these other people down there in
Luzerne County going through
the system and getting done and
over with. I just want to scream,
Sands said.
Unbelievable, we sit here and
watch the news and hear about
another homicide case going
through the system in Luzerne
County, Owen said.
According to court records,
there have been 72 homicide
cases in Luzerne County Court
since June 5, 2003. Fifty-six cases
have been settled by conviction,
guilty plea or acquittal.
How much longer does this
have to go on before we see jus-
tice? Sands asked. I see case af-
ter case down there getting
closed, and were still sitting here
and Im not feeling any better. It
is not fair to any of us.

HARRISBURG -- With legisla-
tive staffers still working on de-
tails, the House and Senate will
report back to the Capitol today
to begin consideration of a
$27.15 billion state budget that
supporters say imposes fiscal
discipline but critics claim will
cause unnecessary pain.
A tentative agreement be-
tween Republican legislative
leaders and Gov. Tom Corbett
cuts funding for higher educa-
tion and public schools, but not
as steeply as Corbett proposed
in his March budget address.
The details were not available
for most line items.
The University of Pittsburgh,
for instance, faces a 19 percent
cut in state funding, compared
with the 50 percent cut Corbett
called for in March, according to
key legislative staffers. Its a
combined $130 million cut for
Pitt, Penn State, Temple and
Lincoln universities, which re-
ceive 8 percent to 9 percent of
their money from the state.
That large a cut in the state
appropriation translates to a
tuition hike that could be as
high as 10 percent -- almost $600
a year, said Steve Hicks, presi-
dent of the Association of Penn-
sylvania State College & Univer-
sity Faculties. He said many stu-
dents and families will be unable
to afford that much of an in-
crease.
The Republicans aim is to
produce a no-tax-hike budget
that controls spending and is on
time for the first time in nine
years. Corbett said steep cuts
were necessary because the
state faced a $4.2 billion deficit.
Pointing to what his staff pro-
jects as $700 million in unantici-
pated revenue this year from
higher tax collections, Sen. Vin-
cent Hughes of Philadelphia,
ranking Demo-
crat on the Sen-
ate Appropri-
ations Commit-
tee, said on Fri-
day the budget
will mean high-
er tuition for
college stu-
dents and
school proper-
ty tax increas-
es. He criti-
cized the pro-
posal for not
restoring adultBasic health in-
surance for the working poor.
Do we have to make such
drastic cuts? Hughes said.
Senate Minority Leader Jay
Costa, D-Forest Hills, called it a
budget that wont require Mar-
cellus Shale drillers to pay a fee
on wells while making cuts at
the expense of children and fam-
ilies.
I shake my head and just
dont understand it, he said.
Costa was referring to Cor-
betts insistence that any impact
fee on gas extraction not be part
of the budget deal and be con-
sidered next month after his ad-
visory commission comes up
with figures on damages caused
by drillers.
What the governor has pro-
posed and is working on is a re-
sponsible budget that reduces
the size and cost of state govern-
ment without raising taxes,
said Kevin Harley, Corbetts
press secretary. The goal is
changing the culture of the last
eight years, when people be-
lieved we could borrow, tax and
spend our way to prosperity.
As for local school tax increas-
es, Harley said Corbett wants
legislation approved with the
budget requiring that increases
above the rate of inflation be
submitted to a districts voters
for approval.
Asked whether that would
curb the increases hes predict-
ing for three-fourths of districts,
Hughes said he would have to
look at the details of the legisla-
tion.

P
eople have all sorts of reasons for
researching old names and sites.
For John Krebs it was a mystery
encountered while pursuing a favorite
pastime in the Scottsville area of
Wyoming County.
I have hunted this area since the
sixties and always stopped at an old
cemetery known as Fassett Cemetery,
he writes. But it wasnt just the age of
the cemetery that intrigued him; it was
a feature inscribed on one of the tomb-
stones.
It is the Medal of Honor and looks
like it belonged to Alvah (Fassett) since
he was born in 1835 and died in 1883.
John, I did some research on Alvah
Fassett, a member of a family long
prominent in that area, and heres what
I discovered.
Sgt. Alvah Fassett, born in Scotts-
ville, served in the U.S. Army during
the Civil War in Company B, 52nd
Pennsylvania Infantry, nicknamed the
Luzerne Regiment because most of it
was recruited in Luzerne County. Its
lieutenant colonel and later its com-
mander was Henry M. Hoyt of
Wilkes-Barre, who would become gov-
ernor of Pennsylvania.
Fassett joined Oct. 11, 1861. He was
badly wounded when shot in the jaw
during the Battle of Fair Oaks, part of
the Peninsula Campaign, which took
place in late spring of 1862.
In that campaign, U.S. Army forces
under Gen. George B. McClellan ad-
vanced up the Virginia peninsula, in-
tending to besiege and capture the
Confederate capital of Richmond. After
initially being pushed back, the Con-
federates rallied under their new com-
mander, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and drove
McClellans forces back down the pen-
insula in a series of battles.
It was at Fair Oaks, sometimes called
the Battle of Seven Pines, that Fassett
was wounded. He was apparently evac-
uated to Philadelphia for treatment,
being discharged for his wounds on
Aug. 11 and returning home.
John, my research shows that the
medal on Alvah Fassetts tombstone,
though it has some of the features of
the Civil War-era Medal of Honor, is
not that decoration. It is a postwar
medal worn by members of the GAR
(Grand Army of the Republic), a veter-
ans group formed after the war. Appar-
ently Fassett was a member.
There was a Capt. John Barclay
Fassett (1836-1905) who won the Med-
al of Honor, but he was from the Phila-
delphia area and won his medal for his
service in the 23rd Pennsylvania In-
fantry at the Battle of Gettysburg in
July, 1863, nearly a year after Alvah was
discharged. Capt. Fassett is buried in
New York City.
In May, 1864, the federal government
granted Alvah Fassett a wounded-
soldier pension of $3 a month, not a
bad sum for the time.
You also express interest in the or-
nate fence at the cemetery. It was made
by the Eagle Fence Co., located at 98
N. Pennsylvania Ave., Wilkes-Barre.
The company was founded by Welsh
immigrant George A. Edwards in 1882.
Tip: More and more book-length
local history is appearing online or is
being reprinted. Three century-old
books by local historian Stanley R.
Smith, out of print for many years, are
now available free of charge online.
Find them by author and title on your
search engine.
They are The Wyoming Valley in
1892, The Wyoming Valley in the
Nineteenth Century and The Story of
Wyoming Valley. Copies are also avail-
able for purchase through various sites,
including Amazon. These books con-
tain not only history but lots of bio-
graphical information about prominent
citizens of the 1800s and early 1900s.

BOISE, Idaho In an office deep in-
side Baghdads international zone, Staff
Sgt. Keith Millar of Caldwell likes to
look over pictures of his wife and two
small children.
Its a way of ministering to himself, of
stayingconnectedtowhat is waitingfor
him at home. Then its back to work,
helping minister to a diverse group of
soldiers and civilians at Forward Oper-
ating Base Prosperity.
Though he is not ordained, Millar,
39, is a chaplains assistant. He protects
the chaplain whenever they are out and
about. He facilitates whatever pro-
grams the chaplain is running. He runs
the huge marble chapel, whichwas con-
verted from one of Saddam Husseins
large pool houses.
I make sure that people can get their
religious needs met in any way I can,
Millar said. A lot of my job is checking
on the morale of the soldiers on the
(base). Millar is one of about 2,700 sol-
diers fromIdaho, Oregon and Montana
in Iraq for a year with the 116th Cavalry
Brigade Combat Team based out of
Boises Gowen Field. The soldiers left
IdahoinSeptember andare expectedto
return this summer.
Back at home, Millar works full time
for the IdahoNational Guard, but not as
chaplain. Still, Millar said he is a reli-
gious man. He and his wife belong to a
small Anglican church in Boise.
In some ways this is not a stretch,
Millar said. I dohave a degree inminis-
try, but I havent worked that in a long
time. Millar saidhis friendshipwithan
Iraqi national named Malik, who works
at the laundry drop-off on the base, has
left the biggest impression on him.
The two men talk about their sons,
parenting, their home and religious
lives.
We talk about bragging on our kids
andhowheis raisingthemandtryingto
figure out the similarities anddifferenc-
es, Millar said. There is a lot more
similarities inthewaywethinkthandif-
ferences. Thats the cool thing. a multi-
cultural base Millar and the chaplain
have provided services for people from
Sierra Leone andUganda andfor adher-
ents of religions from Christianity to
Hinduism. Exposure to different faiths
has strengthened his own, Millar said.

Having a chance to be able to worship the way you want to

theyre a dreaded reckoning. For many they really

By ALEXIA ELEJALDE-RUIZ Chicago Tribune
Rachel Riebow suspects the social networking
site is one reason it has been like pulling teeth to
get her old classmates to attend their 10-year
reunion at Armwood High School in Seffner, Fla.
Why bother when you already know what every-
ones up to, and can so easily connect with the
people you wish to see?
But for older generations, Facebook has helped
find missing classmates and drive interest in the
reunion. Patti Salvage, who is organizing her 40th
reunion at Banks High School in Birmingham, Ala.
said reconnecting on Facebook has made her feel
close to her old classmates again.
I got a network of my school friends back togeth-
er, Salvage said. Because of that, Im really
looking forward to seeing them.
IS FACEBOOK KILLING THE
HIGH SCHOOL REUNION?
See REUNIONS, Page 13B
A high school re-
union can offer
some people a
sense of vindica-
tion, or prove a
dreaded reckoning.
But for the most
part, reunions pro-
vide many a chance
to catch up with
their former school-

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning. But anyone

At Cloud9, our ftness philosophy goes against all you have
been told before. One has to question what you have been
told and by whom. It seems everyone is a self-proclaimed
ftness expert, although not everyone has the physique to back
up their philosophies. It is great to question the validity of
something. Give us a chance, at least 3 months, and then you
can be as skeptical as you want if you dont notice any results.

INTHE INDUSTRY
their everyday life to do what
they would at home, Millar said.
Hereonthe(base) weareableto
do something that reminds them
of back home. When the 116th
trained at Camp Shelby last year
before heading to Iraq, it was a
tense time. One soldier was
struggling with financial issues
and leadership, Millar said.
He was just very over-
whelmed, Millar said. We
helped him as we could and said,
This is what you need to do.
Though the soldier seemed to
want to fight the spiritual and
practical advice from the chap-
lains, eventually he relented.
About amonthintoIraq, Millar
came across the man.
He was all smiles and said his
life was going so much better,
Millar said. That makes it im-
portant whenyoustopandtalkto
people that actually need some-
one.
Forward Operating Base Pros-
perity essentially runs like a large
city. While some of it feels foreign
like the climate and architec-
ture the rest just feels like a
normal urban area, Millar said.
That includes the standard
American (and Mexican) fare in
the bases cafeteria.
When he isnt seeing to sol-
diers morale and spiritual well-
being, Millar spends his down
time playing basketball in the
cool of night, ping pong and exer-
cising. He calls his family in Ida-
ho. He chats with Malik.
Millars mother recently sent a
box of presents from Idaho for
Maliks children.
Reminders of home, like the
green rice cereal treats his wife,
Robyn, sent for St. Patricks Day,
are a respite.
Still, when he goes home to
Caldwell, he plans on taking a bit
of Iraqi culture with him.
They move a bit slower than
what we do in Idaho and Amer-
ica, Millar said. Thats some-
thing Im going to try. They stop
and have tea a little more often
and make personal connections.
The Millars met at Northwest
Nazarene University in1993. Mil-
lars roommate was Robyns
brother.
One source of family conflict is
a debate over the couples actual
first date.
Keith Millar had just returned
to campus from a guard drill
weekend.
At that time the cafeteria
wasnt open late, Robyn Millar
said. He thought, Who could I
call to go get something? We
went to a fast food restaurant by
the campus. The reason I consid-
er it a date is he walked me home
to the dorm. He asked me out for
a concert. Keith Millar consid-
ers the concert the first date.
They were married in 1996.
Fast forward to the couples
15th anniversary. It was Wednes-
day, and Millar was home on
leave. The couple celebrated by
walking around the Boise Depot,
the place where he proposed and
she accepted. Their children are
Patrick, 10, and Kendra, 5.
Robyn, 36, is working to grow
her own Mary Kay makeup busi-
ness and to reassure her children
that their dad is OK.
We just talk a lot about it. We
send care packages and color pic-
tures andthings like that, Robyn
Millar said. At the very begin-
ning I had to really just reassure
my10-year-old that Daddy was in
a safe place. And Millar has a
message for his family in Cald-
well.
Ill be home soon, he said.

Lamiasaidpeopleanxious about
attending their reunion should
make it a point to go. Chances are,
their concernswont bevalidated.
After avoiding her reunions for
several decades, worried that she
wouldnt be able to relate to any-
oneorhaveanythingtotalkabout,
Leslie Hoffman Kirn was relieved
last year when she went to an all-
classreunionandhadagreat time.
I thinkthat tookawayanyfears,
saidHoffmanKirn,47,whothissum-
merisontheplanningcommitteefor
her30threunionat ParkwayCentral
HighSchool inChesterfield, Mo.
Kirn, an ITsecurity analyst, said
she was your average girl, not real
popular inhighschool, andcredits
the connections she has made with
old classmates on Facebook with
drawingher out of her shell.
Goingtoareuniontends tobea
reassuring experience: People are
generally surprised at how well
they are remembered and how
well they remember their class-
mates, said Glenn Reeder, profes-
sor of social psychology at Illinois
State University in Normal, Ill.,
who co-authored a 1986 survey of
people invited back to their high
school reunion, one of very fewto
studythetopic.
The study found that by far the
most important factor in the deci-
sion to attend a reunion was the
memorypeoplehadof highschool.
Those who recalled having a great
time, and the more popular kids,
were more eager to go back. The
less popular kids were less likely to
attend,sometimesworryingthatno
onewouldremember them.
But thats not always the case.
Jan-Michael Sacharko was vale-
dictorian and captain of the math
team at the all-boys Catholic high
school he graduated from in Por-
tland,Maine.Heenjoyedhighschool
and was well-liked, but decided not
togobackforhis10-yearreunion.
I wonder if Id have to defend
what I do, said Sacharko, 33, a de-
velopment director at a homeless
advocacy group in Arlington, Va. I
thinksomepeoplewouldexpectme
to be successful in terms of money,
andImnot, Ill tell youthat.
The pressure to live up to oth-
ers expectations tends to sub-
side as the decades progress.
Reeders study found that while
younger age groups focused on
what changes they saw in their
classmates(whogot fatter, whogot
richer), older returnees focused on
continuities the hair may be
grayer, but the sense of humor re-
mainsthesame.
Hoffman, seeking to shed her
snobby reputation, said shes
hopeful enough time has passed
that shes not boxed in with her
teenage persona. Ive put myself
out there, and Im comfortable
with myself now, Hoffman said.
It would be great to be wel-
comed, but if theyre not gra-
cious, I think ImOKwiththat.
ASTHEYEARSROLLBY...
Every reunionhas a distinct per-
sonality, said Cyndi Clamp, presi-
dent of the National Associationof
Reunion Managers, a trade group
for professional reunion organiz-
ers. She describes how things
changeover thedecades.
10thThisistheleast well-at-
tendedandthemost pretentious,
with many people focused on
how they look, what kind of car
they drive and what their date
looks like. Because most people
are in the same general place in
life, many are measuring them-
selves against their classmates.
20th With more perspective
and life experiences under their
belts, classmates care much less
about superficial success and are
more earnestly curious about how
peoplearedoingintheirfamiliesand
careers.The20-yearisthemostwell-
attended and a time when peoples
pathsstart todiversify.
30thThe30thgetsmoreinter-
esting because peoples lives are all
overtheboardwithdivorces, career
changes and kids of all ages. Class-
matesshowgreater confidenceand
fewer spouses and guests come
alongbecausepeopledont feel that
theyneedsomeonebytheir side.
40thAsretirementnears,peo-
ples lives start to resemble each
others once again. Theres less
drinking and more talking, with
conversationsfocusingonremem-
ber when. People findvalue inbe-
ingaroundothers theyknewwhen
they were younger because it
makes themfeel younger.
50th The golden reunion is
the second-most well-attended.
Theres a sense that this couldbe
the last time you see these peo-
ple. Plus, people go because they
are able to attend. Like the 40th,
nostalgia is strong.
Beyond 50th ... These are
much smaller reunions, and
those whodoattendare just real-
ly gladto be able to be there.

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JUNE 26, 2011

T
he fear among minor league base-
ball fans in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania is real.
They believe the partnership of the
NewYork Yankees and Mandalay Base-
ball Properties are selling us a bill of
goods with their proposed purchase of
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees and
their ownership rights.
Those fans are concerned our teamof
today will become Staten Islands teamof
tomorrow.
And they worry our field of dreams
will soon become a field of crabgrass.
But while all this speculation might
make Scranton/Wilkes-Barre supporters
a little crabby, Randy Mobley has a word
of advice.
Relax.
The International League president
doesnt believe the NewYork Yankees
and Mandalay would sign on for a long-
termdeal at PNCField if they werent
committed to keeping a baseball team
playing there.
What they have proposed is a 30-year
lease, Mobley said a couple of weeks
ago. What that would mean is, they
would be paying for that stadiumfor 30
years. If they signed a 30-year lease,
youre essentially assured theres going to
be baseball there for 30 years.
But what kind of baseball?
Mandalays recent moves worrisome
Fans have fretted about the current
Triple-Aaffiliate of the NewYork Yan-
kees moving to Staten Island since the
Yankees came in here.
After all, Mandalay manages both farm
teams in the NewYork system.
And the recent history of the current
management group doesnt do much to
calmpeoples nerves.
ASingle-Ateamin the Cincinnati Reds
systemwas moved fromRockford, Ill., to
Dayton, Ohio, in 2000, shortly after
Mandalay took over the team. In 2003,
Mandalay moved its Double-Aaffiliate in
the Texas League fromShreveport, La.,
to Frisco, Texas.
And under Mandalays ownership,
Hagerstown would have lost the Single-A
affiliate of the Washington Nationals last
year if a group of local businessmen from
that area hadnt rallied to purchase the
team.
Thats the kind of baseball-saving
support John McGee the founder of
Triple-Abaseball in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania has been trying to drumup
around here.
But it wouldnt mean banging the
drums slowly if the Yankees pulled away
fromPNCField, Mobley insisted.
First, the International League general-
ly insists upon venues with a seating
capacity of 10,000 for its teams to call
home. Which means the Yankees would
have to add about 3,000 seats if they
wanted to bring Triple-Ato Single-A
Staten Islands current 7,171-seat venue.
Or build a newstadiumsomewhere else.
Then, the International League would
have to approve such a move.
It does not mean there would be no
baseball (in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre),
Mobley said. Before that franchise could
leave there, the league would have to
approve that. Its not up to Mandalay or
the NewYork Yankees or anyone in-
volved to make that decision.
And if its approved for the Yankees to
move out, another Triple-Aaffiliate could
move in.
There are 30 Triple-Afranchises and
30 affiliates, Mobley said. There might
be musical chairs along the line.
He seems certain the summer music at
the park the crack of the bat and the
pop of the glove wont stop if Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre becomes property of the
NewYork Yankees.
It all sounds so sweet when Mobley
talks about this deal.
Until he says five words that strike the
loudest alarm:
Unless theres an out option.

DURHAM, N.C. Solo home
runs from Terry Tiffee and Greg
Golson turned out to be all the
scoring the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees needed Saturday
night.
Thats because the matchup
with the Durham Bulls was a sol-
id pitchers duel, as Leslie Ander-
sons solo shot
was the only
scoring for the
hosts as the Yan-
kees prevailed
2-1in the second
game of their
four-game series
at a packed Dur-
ham Bulls Ath-
letic Park.
Durham,
which is in first
place in the In-
ternational
Leagues South
Division, fin-
ished with nine
hits to the Yan-
kees six.
Eric Wordekemper (2-0) was
the winning pitcher in relief
while Randy Flores picked up his
second save of the campaign as
the Yankees extended their win-
ning streak to three games.
Chris Bootcheck (3-2) took the
hard-luck loss for Durham in his
fourth straight quality start.
Adam Warren, an alumnus of
the University of North Carolina
about 10 miles away, had the no-
decision despite a gem of a qual-
ity start, going six shutout in-
nings and allowing six hits with
seven strikeouts against a walk.
Golson led the Yankees with
the homer and a single.
Anderson homered, doubled
andsingledfor Durham, andDes-
mond Jennings added three hits
and a pair of stolen bases.
The Bulls left 11 runners on
base to seven for the Yankees.
It was a pitchers duel fromthe
start, as Bootcheck allowed just
one hit over the first four innings.
He went 7 1/3 and allowed two
runs on five hits, with seven
strikeouts against three walks
.Tiffee - who is in just his third
game with the club after signing
from Lancaster of the Atlantic
League - put the Yankees up 1-0
with one out in the fifth, when he
launcheda1-1pitchintotheright-
field bleachers.
And as soon as Warren was off
the mound the Bulls pounced.

WIMBLEDON, England
Serena Williams has been
known to say she isnt satisfied
with this or that aspect of her
game, evenafter easilywinning
a match, say, 6-3, 6-2.
So it was somehow refresh-
ing to hear Williams actually
praise herself after a victory by
that very score over 26th-seed-
ed Maria Kirilenko at Wimble-
don on Satur-
day.
Yes, only
five matches
since return-
ing to the tour
after nearly a full year off
because of a series of health
scares, Williams produced a
performance worthy of the 13-
time Grand Slam champion
that she is. And then Williams
talkedthetalkof someonefinal-
ly ready to concede that British
bookmakers might very well
havebeenright tomakeher the
pre-tournament favor-

EXETER Sitting atop the leader-
boardinathree-waytie, theteamof Eric
Williams and David Kluger wanted to
distance themselves fromthe rest of the
pack at Fox Hill Country Club.
What they foundwas the teamof Don
Crossin and Bill Briggs erasing any
hope of sole possession heading into to-
days final round of championship flight
play.
Both teams shot 4-under par-71 Sat-
urday, and their two-round scores of 9-
under 133 gave thema share of the lead
in the championship flight at the 65th
annual John A. Allan Tournament held
at Fox Hill.
I was so caught up in what we were
doing, said Williams. When they said
we both ended with the same score I
was like, Wow.
The final round of the better-ball
stroke play flight features 27 holes. The
total score from all three rounds will
count in determining the winner from
the field of 16 teams who qualified Fri-
day.
The other 88 teams who entered the
tournament will also wrap-up their play

Joe Carmody of West Pittston hits the ball fromthe sand trap on the fourth
hole Saturday during the John A. Allan tournament at Fox Hill Country Club.
The only difference is that, after-
ward, while others take off their
skates, Granville puts on his pros-
thetic leg.
Granville lost his left leg while
serving as a sergeant specialist of the
Pennsylvania Army National Guard
in Zormat, Afghanistan, in 2008. A
roadside bomb ripped through his
convoy and killed Spc. Derek Hol-
land, of Wind Gap, and Major Scott
Haggerty, of Stillwater, Okla. The
blast severely injured Granvilles left
leg, and it was amputated at the
knee at an Army base in Germany.
Three years later, Granville, 27,
capably performs everyday activities
independently thanks to sled hock-
ey. The Dupont resident, in conjunc-
tion with the Revolution Ice Centre
in Pittston, is initiating a sled hock-
ey program for the physically dis-
abled.
Sled hockey helped me tremen-
dously with my rehab portion,
Granville said. Getting independent
was a long process, and playing
hockey was a big help.
Sled hockey shares the look and
feel of traditional hockey. Hard
checking, fast skating, goaltending
and fighting are still part of the
game.
It is generally played by those
Sled version of sport helped him become independent, says

E
arl Granville skates tight figure-eights with pre-
cision at the Revolution Ice Centre in Pittston.
And yet, undeterred by the sled that keeps him
grounded, he does not consider himself any different
than the other hockey players on the ice.

NEW YORK (AP) CC
Sabathia tossed eight stingy
innings to win for the seventh
time in his last eight starts,
Alex Rodriguez drove in three
runs and the New York Yan-
kees finally beat the Colorado
Rockies, 8-3 on Saturday.
A dozen pitchers began the
day with nine wins, but Sa-
bathia (10-4) won the race to
double digits. The big left-
hander allowed one run while
striking out nine, improving to
19-7 all-time in interleague
play. That win total makes him
baseballs active leader.
He threw just 103 pitches,
but manager Joe Girardi decid-
ed against letting him finish
the game. Buddy Carlyle
promptly gave up Ty Wiggin-
tons two-run homer in the
ninth.
Athletics 4, Phillies 1
PHILADELPHIA Trevor
Cahill tossed three-hit ball into
the eighth inning, Adam Ro-
sales homered and the Oakland
Athletics beat the Philadelphia
Phillies 4-1 on Saturday night.
Cahill and Phillies starter
Cole Hamels had a nice and
easy duel going in a game that
breezed by until the Phillies
rallied late. Cahill (8-5) won
his second straight start after
dropping five straight and
spoiled Hamels bid to win his
10th game.
Tigers 6, Diamondbacks 0
DETROIT Justin Verlan-
der struck out a career-high 14
in his latest masterful perform-
ance, and the Detroit Tigers
beat the Arizona Diamond-
backs 6-0 on Saturday night.
Verlander (10-3) allowed four
hits over eight innings, and
Alex Avilas three-run homer in
the fourth broke the game
open. The Tigers pulled into a
virtual tie with Cleveland atop
the AL Central.
Pirates 6, Red Sox 4
PITTSBURGH Lyle Over-
bay hit a 3-run homer and the
Pittsburgh Pirates spoiled Tim
Wakefields homecoming with
a 6-4 win over the Boston Red
Sox on Saturday.
Jeff Karstens (5-4) pitched
effectively into the seventh
inning as the Pirates tied a
season-high by posting their
fourth straight victory to move
two games above .500 at 39-37.
Mets 14, Rangers 5
ARLINGTON, Texas
Lucas Duda matched a Mets
record with three doubles
while going 4 for 5 with four
RBIs, Carlos Beltran snapped
out of a slump with three hits
and New York had season
highs for runs and hits in a 14-5
victory over the Texas Rangers
on Saturday.
Giants 1, Indians 0
SAN FRANCISCO Tony
Sipp balked home the go-ahead
run with the bases loaded in
the seventh inning, giving the
San Francisco Giants a 1-0
victory over the error-prone
Cleveland Indians on Saturday
for their fourth straight victory.
Sipp slightly flinched his left
arm before even throwing a
pitch to Emmanuel Burriss,
allowing Miguel Tejada to
score from third. There also
were two errors in the inning
by second baseman Cord
Phelps that spoiled a strong
start by Justin Masterson (5-6).
White Sox 3, Nationals 0
CHICAGO Jake Peavy
threw four dominant innings in
his first career relief appear-
ance and the Chicago White
Sox beat the Washington Na-
tionals 3-0 on Saturday.
Peavy (4-1) gave up a hit and
struck out seven, combining
with starter John Danks, Brian
Bruney and closer Sergio San-
tos on a two-hitter that
snapped Washingtons five-
game winning streak.
Angels 6, Dodgers 1
LOS ANGELES Tyler
Chatwood pitched seven
strong innings, fellow rookie
Mark Trumbo homered and
Vernon Wells added a three-
run shot as the Los Angeles
Angels defeated the rival Dodg-
ers 6-1 Saturday for their sec-
ond straight win in the Free-
way Series.
Blue Jays 6, Cardinals 3
ST. LOUIS Carlos Villa-
nueva worked six solid innings
backed by Juan Riveras three-
run homer, the only hit in a
five-run third, and the Toronto
Blue Jays beat the sagging St.
Louis Cardinals 6-3 on Sat-
urday night.
Reds 10, Orioles 5
BALTIMORE Joey Votto
homered twice and drove in
five runs, and the Cincinnati
Reds beat the Baltimore

long-ball duel that featured
nine home runs.

mon Young left on a stretcher.

to back up Wade Davis and

Pair of catchers
rate 1-2 as prospects
By DAVE ROSENGRANT

Editors Note: The Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees have taken a page
from their parent club by winning
championships.
SWB has racked up four consecutive
International League North Division
titles and more could be on the way
because the minor league system is
stacked with top prospects that are
close to contributing at the Triple-A
or Major League level, according to
Baseball America. Heres a look at
the organizations top 10 prospects,
before the season, where they are
now and how they are faring:
The Yankees franchise came
to Moosic in 2007 and began its
current streak of four consec-
utive International League
North Division titles.
That 2007 Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre squad had strong pitch-
ing, as demonstrated by a re-
cord-setting pitching perform-
ance in late June.
On June 26, 2007, the Yan-
kees were in the midst of a re-
cord shutout streak after Matt
DeSalvo and Chris Britton com-
bined to blank Buffalo in a 5-0
victory at PNC Field.
The shutout was the third in a
row for the Yankees as their
scoreless inning streak was
pushed to 30
2
3 to break the
previous franchise mark of 25
1
3
set by the Red Barons in 1989
and 2001.
The streak in 2007 came to an
end in the second inning of the
next game, pushing the longest
shutout streak in franchise his-
tory to 32
1
3 straight innings.
On This Date
1. Domonic Brown, out-
fielder, Philadelphia: Since
being called up hes hitting
.216 with four home runs, 11
RBI, 11 runs scored and two
stolen bases.
2. Jonathan Singleton, out-
fielder/infielder, Single-A
Clearwater: Hes got a .278
batting average with six home
runs and 29 RBI in 61 games.
3. Brody Colvin, starting
pitcher, Single-A Clearwater:
He has posted an 0-3 record
in eight starts with a 4.98
ERA and 34 strikeouts in 43
1/3 innings.
4. Jarred Cosart, starting
pitcher, Single-A Clearwater:
Hes put up a 6-4 record and
3.16 ERA and 62 strikeouts in
13 starts and 74 innings.
5. Trevor May, starting
pitcher, Single-A Clearwater:
A strikeout machine, hes
fanned 102 in 78 innings,
going 4-4 with a 3.23 ERA.
6. Sebastian Valle, catcher,
Single-A Clearwater: The 20-
year-old is batting .353 with
three home runs and 23 RBI
with an on-base percentage of
.367 in 173 at-bats. He has
had two stints on the dis-
abled list this season.
7. Jiwan James, outfielder,
Single-A Clearwater: The
speedster has 14 stolen bases
and is batting .264 with three
homers and 13 RBI in 273
at-bats.
8. Jesse Biddle, starting
pitcher, Low-A Lakewood: The
first-round pick from 2010 is
3-6 with a 3.70 ERA and 66
strikeouts in 73 innings.
9. Domingo Santana, out-
fielder, Low-A Lakewood: A
right fielder, he has posted a
.266 batting average with six
home runs and 17 RBI in 203
at-bats and 53 games.
10. Aaron Altherr, outfielder,
Short Season Single-A Wil-
liamsport: Hes got off to a
hot start for the Crosscutters,

teams first six games.

Outfielders, hurlers

Editors Note: The Philadelphia
Phillies minor league system has
lost some highly regarded prospec-
ts during the last few years with
many trades being made to help
the parent club.
But that doesnt mean the cup-
board is bare.
The Phillies have produced more
young talent and might have more
pieces to deal if they need to make
a midseason trade this season.
Heres a look at how the preseason
top 10 prospects in the Philadelphia
organization are faring and where
they are currently playing:
Russ Canzler: The Hazleton
Area grad continues to have a
solid season for Durham, the
Triple-A affiliate of the Tampa
Bay Rays.
The third baseman is hitting
.289 with eight home runs, 42
RBI, five stolen bases and an
on-base percentage of .393 after
Fridays action and might be on
his way to represent the In-
ternational League in next
months Triple-A All-Star game
in Salt Lake City.
Chris Sedon: The Coughlin
alum is playing for the Gateway
Grizzlies, an independent team
participating in the Frontier
League. He was placed on the
disabled list on June 13 and
hasnt returned from the injury.
L O C A L S I N M I N O R S
Hazleton grad stars
for Triple-A Bulls
It is no secret that Jesus Montero was in
the mix for the backup catching role with
the New York Yankees entering this sea-
son. However, it is almost the all-star
break and the highly regarded prospect
still finds himself behind the plate in
Moosic.
Despite playing in the International
League for a second season, Montero is in
good spirits. He is taking full advantage of
the opportunity to suit up and play every-
day for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees.
According to the catcher, the Yankees
organization would rather him play every-
day at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre than sit on
the bench in New York.
They told me that I need to come
down here and play every single day and
they told me its better that if I get to the
big leagues, I (play) there for a long time
rather than be there on the bench, Mon-
tero said. I take that as a good wait.
Montero might have gotten off to a slow
start to begin the 2011 season, but the first
half of last season wasnt his greatest ei-
ther.
On June 21, 2010, Montero was hitting
just .239. He had a strong second half and
finished the season with a .289 average,
while leading the team with 21 home runs
and 74 RBI. He also led the team in dou-
bles with 34. He is hoping the success in
the second half of last year will find him
again this summer.
I dont really know whats going to
happen, said Montero, hitting .289, with
five home runs and 26 RBI,. entering
Saturdays game against Durham. Its
baseball. Sometimes its hard, sometimes
its really good. I hope everything comes
well and I hope for it to be like last year,
too.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees hitting
coach Butch Wynegar said that its a mat-
ter of consistency for Montero to dupli-
cate his offensive success from the second
half of last season.
Hes not quite locked in and doing
what he was doing last year, said the
former All-Star catcher with the Minneso-
ta Twins. His power is down I think be-
cause of his inconsistencies at the plate,
but were working on that now.
In addition to fine-tuning his hitting,
Montero is also working on getting better
behind the plate. According to Wynegar,
he is making big strides defensively.
Behind the plate he has been pretty
steady, Wynegar said. He is learning
slowly and getting better and better in
terms of game-calling and working with
the pitchers. Overall he has been pretty
solid.
Baseball America rated Montero as the
top prospect in the Yankees organization
in the preseason, and with those high
expectations comes a lot of pressure. How-
ever, he has a strong support group in his
teammates and coaches, especially Wyne-
gar.
I was 20 years old and in the big
leagues and he was 20 years old last year
in Triple-A., so I knew what he was going
through, said Wynegar, who caught in the
big leagues for 13 years. I wanted him to
know that I had his back and I knew how
tough it was for him.
A catcher has to interact with all of the
pitchers, the pitching coach and the man-
ager. Together, they must develop a game
plan for each start. It is a tall task for a
21-year-old catcher, but Yankees starting
pitcher and fellow prospect D.J. Mitchell
said that Montero is showing improve-
ment as the season goes on.
He is doing a really good job with this
staff, Mitchell said. All of us need to
learn what we need to do before a game
and how to get as prepared as possible,
and Monty is a big help.
Fellow catcher P.J. Pilittere is doing all
he can to help Montero realize he needs to
work hard, but have fun at the same time.
I think a lot of people need to realize
he is still only 21 years old. Its his second
year in this league and people think he is a
veteran, Pilittere said. I try to remind
him when there is a coach on him or a
coordinator on him that it is still just base-
ball and you still got to have fun. Some-
times you can have overload, and its not
fun anymore.
Montero has the most fun when he and
his teammates are winning. He said that
his love for winning is one of the main
factors that as a 16 year old in Guacara,
Venezuela, he signed as a free agent with
the franchise with the most World Series
championships.
I wanted to play for the Yankees, be-
cause I knew who the Yankees were. They
are the best organization, said Montero,
who signed with the Yankees for a report-
ed $1.6 million bonus. It was a long proc-
ess. I worked really hard in the tryouts and
thank God I am here.
It might not be long until the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre catcher gets the call to wear
the pinstripes and play at Yankee Stadium.
When the call finally comes, Wynegar
wants to make sure Montero doesnt try to
go up there and do too much.
I think he is going to have to go up
there and blend in with those guys. Hes
not going to hit third, fourth or fifth. He
may hit seventh, eighth or even ninth and
thats all right, Wynegar said. Its not a
bad thing, he will be able to blend in and
not feel a lot of pressure and just go about
his business and chip in.
Wynegar said the challenge of being a
big leaguer will help Montero.
I said it before and I hate saying it, but
sometimes I think he gets bored being in
Triple-A, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
hitting coach said. He needs another
challenge and I think that challenge will
be the big leagues.

mat, starting at 7 a.m.
Heading into Saturday, Cross-
in and Briggs score of 66 tied
them with Williams and Kluger,
as well as the teamof Mike Hirth-
ler Jr. and William Burke.
After finishing Fridays play
that includeda stretchof fivecon-
secutive birdies on the back nine,
Williams continued his teams
hot streakwithback-to-backbird-
ies to start the day. His second
shot on the par-4, 426 yard No. 2
landed four feet from the pin to
tap-in for birdie.
It felt really good. We started
off fast, he said.
They settledfor a bogey onNo.
9, but Williams came up with an-
other big shot on 12, when he re-
ached the par-5 hole in just two
strokes. He knocked down a 15-
footer for an eagle.
CrossinandBriggs cappedoff a
bogey-free round by sinking bird-
ies on three of the last four holes
tie Williams and Kluger.
Although they missed a few
birdie opportunities to stay with
Williams andKluger, Crossinand
Briggs finished the front nine at
an even par-35.
We didnt do anything ex-
traordinary for the first 14 holes,
said Crossin. We tried not mak-
ing any mistakes.
The tandem of Hirthler Jr and
Burke fell back to sixth place af-
ter posting a 1-over 71.
The team of Santo LaFoca and
Ross Brown finished with a 68,
placing them in a tie with Rick
Laneski and 2010 PIAA state
champion Brandon Matthews
just two shots behindthe leaders.
LaFoca highlighted his teams
round with an eagle on No. 4,
knocking in his second shot from
about 125 yards away.

ite.
Asked whether she was sur-
prised by the odds, the seventh-
seeded American smiled widely
and said: I wouldnt bet against
me.
After hitting 10 aces and com-
piling a 32-9 edge in winners
against Kirilenko, Williams
termed the showing her best
Ive played since I came back.
I was a little more consistent,
andI playedmygamemore,said
Williams, trying to become the
first woman since Steffi Graf in
1991-93 to win three consecutive
Wimbledon titles. Wasnt as
tight and nervous and uptight. I
was able to relax more today.
Shewas part of aparadeof past
champions who breezed into the
fourth round Saturday, joined by
Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and
Maria Sharapova, who all were
straight-set winners, too. Top-
seededCarolineWozniacki, seek-
ingher first GrandSlamtitle, and
two-time Australian Open cham-
pionNovakDjokovic, whois now
44-1in 2011, also moved on.
Thereweretwoupsetsof some
significance.
Two-time French Open finalist
Robin Soderling, who was seed-
ed fifth, was dealing with stom-
ach problems and bowed out
meekly against 158th-ranked
qualifier Bernard Tomic of Aus-
tralia 6-1, 6-4, 7-5. Tomic is the
first 18-year-old to reach the
mens fourth round at Wimble-
donsinceMichael ChangandGo-
ran Ivanisevic in1990.
I was calm, but inside I was
bursting. I tried not to showit to
him. He was getting frustrated,
Tomic said. The way Ive been
playing is really good. If I can
keep it up, who knows?
No. 9Gael Monfils lost to93rd-
ranked qualifier Lukasz Kubot of
Poland 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. Kubot is
the first man from Poland to
make it this far at Wimbledon
since Wojtek Fibak in1981.
Wimbledon is the only Grand
Slam tennis tournament that
schedules a day off onthe middle
Sunday and the only one that
puts all 16 mens and womens
fourth-roundmatches onthe sec-
ond Monday. When play re-
sumes, these are some of the
mens matchups: No. 1 Nadal vs.

2009 U.S. Open champion; No. 2
Djokovic vs. No. 19 Michael Llo-
dra; No. 3 Federer vs. No. 18 Mik-
hail Youzhny; No. 4AndyMurray
vs. No. 17 Richard Gasquet; and
No. 10 Mardy Fish, the last U.S.
man left, vs. No. 6 Tomas Ber-
dych, the 2010 Wimbledon run-
ner-up.
Fish advanced Saturday when
Robin Haase retired in the fourth
set, while Berdych wrapped up a
rain-suspendedvictory over Alex
Bogomolov Jr. of the United
States.
Its lonely, said Fish, whos
been broken only once in three
matches.
Djokovic trashed his racket
during a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory
over 2006 Australian Open final-
ist Marcos Baghdatis in the days
last match on Centre Court.
I can work on some things,
but, mytemper is mytemper. My
character is my character, said
Djokovic, whose 43-match win-
ning streak ended with a loss to
Federer intheFrenchOpensemi-
finals.
With Baghdatis serving at 30-
all whileleading4-3inthesecond
set, Djokovic pushed a shot long
to lose the point. Standing at the
baseline, he smashed his racket,
hitting it once, twice, three times
against the ground. As Djokovic
walked to the sideline to trade in
that now-damaged piece of
equipment for a fresh one, Bagh-
datis chuckled to himself.
Chair umpire James Keotha-
vong brother of British player
Anne Keothavong was less
amused, warning Djokovic for
racket abuse. Baghdatis won the
next point, too, to pull ahead 5-3,
and he served out the set with an
ace two games later.
But Djokovic pulled through,
evenas heoccasionallypausedto
clutch at his left leg.
Im not tired physically. I just
didnt feel good today. ... My legs
werent working. You have those
days, Djokovic said.
Nadal also acknowledged be-
ing slightly botheredby a muscle

AT A G L A N C E
CROMWELL, Conn.
UCLA star Patrick Cantlay tum-
bled down the leaderboard a day
after shooting the lowest score
by an amateur in PGA Tour
history, while Fredrik Jacobson
had a 7-under 63 on Saturday to
take a one-stroke lead over
Bryce Molder in the Travelers
Championship.
Jacobson closed with a 30-
foot birdie putt on No. 18 to cap
his third straight bogey-free
round. The Swede opened with
rounds of 65 and 66 and the 63
left him at 16 under at TPC
River Highlands.
Moulder, who also opened
with rounds of 65 and 66, shot a
64.
Cantlay, 19, followed his
course-record 60 with a 72 to
fall five strokes behind Jacob-
son. Cantlay bogeyed the final
two holes. An amateur hasnt
won a PGA Tour event since
Phil Mickelson in the 1991
Northern Telecom Open in
Arizona.
Jacobson, 36, has three Eu-
ropean Tour victories, but is
winless on the PGA Tour. At
194, Jacobson was a stroke off
the tournament record for 54
holes.
LPGA Championship
PITTSFORD, N.Y. Yani
Tseng extended her lead at the
LPGA Championship to five
strokes, putting the 22-year-old
star a round away from winning
her fourth major title.
The top-ranked Tseng shot a
5-under 67 to finish at 13-under
203 at Locust Hill Country
Club.
Americans Morgan Pressel
(70) and Cindy LaCrosse (69)
were tied for second, and Hee
Young Park (72) was seven
shots behind Tseng. Defending
champion Cristie Kerr matched
Tseng with a third-round best 67
to join Stacy Lewis (70), Meena
Lee (70) and Paula Creamer
(72) at 5 under.
Tseng, who turned 22 in Janu-
ary, was a round away from
becoming the youngest to win
four major golf tournaments.
She also won LPGA Champion-
ship during her rookie-of-the-
year season in 2008, when the
event was played at Bulle Rock
in Maryland, and took the Kraft
Nabisco and Womens British
Open last year.
Patty Berg was 23 when she
won her fourth major in 1941,
but before the LPGA was
formed in 1950. Tiger Woods
and Se Ri Pak were 24 when
they won their fourth majors.
Tseng has seven career LPGA
Tour wins, and has already won
twice this year, including the
State Farm Classic two weeks
ago.
Dicks Sporting Goods Open
ENDICOTT, N.Y. Mark
Wiebe shot a 4-under 68 in the
second round of the Dicks
Sporting Goods Open to take a
two-stroke lead over John Hus-
ton in a bid for his second
straight Champions Tour victo-
ry.
Wiebe, who won two weeks
ago at Rock Barn, had an 11-
under 133 total at En-Joie Golf
Club. Huston had a 70.
Jay Don Blake (68) was two
strokes back. Local favorite Joey
Sindelar (69), Bobby Wadkins
(69), Nick Price (71), and Hal
Sutton (70) were 7 under.
BMW International Open
MUNICH Englands Mark
Foster shot a 6-under 66 to take
a two-stroke lead over Sergio
Garcia, Retief Goosen and three
others in the BMW Internation-
al Open.
Foster birdied four of the last
seven holes to finish at 14-under
202.
Garcia shot a 64, and Goosen
had a 67. Robert Coles (65),
Pablo Larrazabal (69) and Ge-

SCRANTON Gary Peters
showed what might have been
the difference his bout in the
opening seconds Friday night.
The Hanover Township fight-
er edged Dustin Wentz of Hazle-
ton in a close but unanimous de-
cision in their amateur welter-
weight bout as part of Cage Fight
8 at Riverfront Sports in Scran-
ton.
Peters landed the first left
hand he threw and followed the
punch with a quick takedown.
Wentz fought back, including
landing several punches while
he was on bottom in the second
round, but Peters wound up win-
ning, 30-27 on one card and 29-
28 on the other two.
Imgetting more comfortable
on my feet with the addition of
my boxing coach, Chris Mills,
Peters said after improving to
5-2.
Professional Chase Owens
and amateur Dave Spadell Jr.,
both middleweights from Free-
land, were among the winners
while Kingstons Josh Blockus
and Hazletons Wayne Jurus
each improved impressive ama-
teur records with victories.
Owens (11-2) won one of the
four professional fights on a card
that also included nine amateur
bouts. Hewonaunanimous deci-
sion that was 29-28 on all three
cards.
It was a tough battle, Owens
said. I knew he was a stand-up
striker.
I tried to stand up with him,
but he had good hands.
Owens grewstronger, particu-
larly on the ground, as the bout
progressed.
Spadell used superior boxing
ability to win an otherwise close
middleweight fight with Jason
Colarusso of Moosic. He
knocked Colarusso down once
in each round, including with
one punch in the third.
Blockus, a heavyweight, im-
proved to 3-0 by ruining the de-
but of Scrantons Mukhielelin
Milazov with a unanimous deci-
sion.
Blockus had Milazov on his
back for more than half the bout
and was able to withstand a se-
ries of kicks by Milazov in the
third round.
Jurus wonanall-Hazletonwel-
terweight bout when he fought
off a gushing bloody nose that
started early in the fight.
Jurus (4-1) controlled the first
tworounds andheldonfor asplit
decision over Brandon Cruz.
Toward the end of the first
round, the blood got in my
mouth and I was choking on it,
Jurus said. I was worried that
theref might havestoppedit, soI
tried to make sure I was doing a
lot to showthat it wasnt bother-
ing me.
Scrantons Dave Morgan, a for-
mer national wrestling cham-
pion at Kings College, improved
to 5-0 as a professional by win-
ning the Pro Feature bout.
Morgan used his wrestling
skills to stay on top of Brandon
Inskeep for 13:27 of the 15 min-
utes in their bout and often land-
ed short punches while holding
Inskeep down.
Morgan won the bantam-
weight bout by unanimous deci-
sion.
Joel Roberts won his second
straight main event when the
bantamweight from Slatington
stopped Bret Thomas late in the
second round.

prevent them from playing, as
Granville refers it to, stand-up
hockey. Players sit on sleds
with blades underneath and
propel themselves with two
short hockey sticks that have
picks on the bottom.
Its pretty similar to regular
hockey; theres not muchdiffer-
ence at all, Granville said. Its
a great sport and more people
should know about it. Im sure
a lot of people in the disabled
community would be interest-
ed in it.[
An in-house sled hockey
league and a travel squad are
scheduled for later this year,
according to
Revolution

general man-
ager Ed Von
Lumm.
Training ses-
sions are of-
fered for in-
terested play-
ers regard-
less of
experience,
age and gen-
der.
Von Lumm
said that itll open up doors
for wounded veterans and the
disabled to play a sport they
didnt know they could.
The Revolution Ice Centre is
hosting a 15-team tournament
Aug. 27-28 that will feature
teams fromPennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey.
The travel squad will be affil-
iated with USA Hockey and
play in its Atlantic Division
against teams from Buffalo,
N.Y., and New England.
Despite the program being
in its early stages, Von Lumm
said he and Granville have re-
ceived much interest in sled
hockey from the disabled com-
munity.
There are kids who are out
there who watch hockey every
single day and say, I wish I
could do it, Von Lumm said.
They dont know about this
just yet. (Sled hockey) helped
Earl. There are people right in
our neighborhood that we can
do the same for.
Granville approached Von
Lummwiththe idea of starting
a sled hockey league after re-
turning from a year-long stint
at Washingtons Walter Reed
Army Medical Center.
He said when he came to
Walter Reed after his injury, I
thought it was going to be a
long road. In his first day in
physical therapy, he saw a sol-
dier missing a leg leaping hur-
dles. He recalled seeing that
made me think this isnt going
to be so bad.
Soon, Granville was intro-
duced to sled hockey as part of
his physical therapy and imme-
diately took to the sport he had
never participated in before.
The therapists like to push
forward soldiers with disabili-
ties to get involved with some
type of sport, whether it be
snowboarding or kayaking or
scuba diving or wheelchair
basketball, said Granville,
who played soccer at Carbon-
dale Area High School. I tried
out hockey and some other
sports. Hockey was what I
went back to.
Granville played competi-
tively for the USA Warriors a
professional sled hockey team
comprised of wounded veter-
ans in Washington.
Last month, he received an
associates degree from Lacka-
wanna College and said he
plans on attending the Univer-
sity of Scranton this year to
study counseling and human
services. His career focus is to
specialize on veterans affairs,
and he is planning on getting
local disabled veterans to join
the sled hockey program.
Regardless of their disabili-
ty, interested players can email
Von Lumm at erv@skatene-
pa.com or visit http://
www.skatenepa.com for more
details.
Were looking to make this
sled hockey no different in the
minds of everyone else than
regular hockey, Von Lumm
said. Before Earl walked
through the door, we didnt
know who Earl was. Its
changed how everyone thinks
here.

EUGENE, Ore. Head so still
her ponytail barely bobbed, arms
swinging in perfect sync, Allyson
Felix glided smoothly around the
track, looking as if she has been
running the 400 all her life.
The big question: Will she run
it at the worldchampionships lat-
er this summer?
Felix already has a spot in the
200 at the worlds thanks to her
2009 title, but remains uncertain
about whether she also will at-
tempt to run the longer distance,
where she would go in as Amer-
icas newly crowned champion.
She held off Francena McCoro-
ry at the finish Saturday at U.S.
championships, winning in 50.40
seconds to become the first wom-
an to win national titles in the
100, 200, and 400 over a career.
Debbie Dunn was third.
I felt good throughout and I
feel like Im learning a lot, how
my body feels throughout, Felix
said.
The 200-400 double is not easy
to pull off given all the rounds
and the lack of recovery time be-
tween them.
Thats why the decision for
Daegu, South Korea, in late Au-
gust remains a difficult one for
Felix and her coach, Bobby Ker-
see.
Thats my biggest thing, the
thing that makes it tough for me
to decide, Felix said of the quick
turnaround. Im not going to be
as freshgoing into the 200. Thats
the big deciding factor.
Especially since thats her sig-
natureevent. Shedoesnt want fa-
tigue to derail her shot at win-
ning a fourth straight 200 title at
worlds.
Kersee said he will put Felix
through some practices this
week, see how she reacts, then
make a decision. He was very im-
pressed with how she looked, es-
pecially coming down the home-
stretch of the 400. Even some of
the best runners start flailing a
bit at the end of the one-lap race.
Felix barely looked like she was
breathing hard.
I dont want to be cocky, but I
really think shes one of the best
400-meter runners in the world,
Kersee said. Shell kill me if I
take the 200 away fromher, so its
going to be easier to tell her she
cant run the 400.
Going double the distance she
normally runs, and fighting a
strong wind in the back stretch,
Felix seemed to get stronger as
the race went along Saturday.
Thats an encouraging sign.
While shes up in the air about
going for the 200 and 400 at
worlds, one of her top rivals has
already pledged to try to do it.
Sanya Richards-Ross has anau-
tomatic bid in the 400, but needs
to qualify in the 200. She ad-
vanced to the semis with a solid
race at the shorter distance Sat-
urday.
I felt good. But I have to run
faster than I did today to make
the team, Richards-Ross said.
Im up for the challenge.
Up-and-comer Tony McQuay
of the University of Florida won
the mens 400 by blowing past
former Olympic and world cham-
pion Jeremy Wariner over the fi-
nal 100meters. Wariner fadedbut
held off Greg Nixon for second.
The win over Wariner had
McQuay making bold predic-
tions for worlds.
I want to break the world re-
cord. Ive got my mind set on
that, he said.
Lots of folks have for many
years. In fact, Wariner has prom-
ised himself a newFerrari should
he ever break Michael Johnsons
nearly 12-year-old record.

DETROIT (AP) A standout
Indiana high school basketball
player withthepromiseof playing
at the University of Michigan is
fighting for his life after surviving
the second plane crash of his
young life.
Austin Hatch, 16, of Fort
Wayne, Ind., was in critical condi-
tionSaturdayinanorthernMichi-
gan hospital after the Friday eve-
ning crash that killed his father,
Dr. Stephen Hatch, and his step-
mother, Kim. Austin and his pilot
father had survived a 2003 crash
that killed Austins mother and
two siblings.
He never talked about (the
previous crash) one time, said
DanKline, thebasketball coachat
CanterburySchool inFort Wayne,
Ind. Imsurehecarriedit inside.
Kline told The Associated
Press that the next 24 to 48 hours
are going to be critical, and de-
scribed Austin as an A student
who is physically and mentally
strongsomeonewhocanhan-
dle things.
Hes a very mature young
man, he said. Youd never know
he was 16 years old.
The teen was the apple of his
dads eye, and Stephen Hatch
tookgreat delight andpride inhis
sons athletic accomplishments,
Dr. G. David Bojrab, a colleague
andclose friendof Austins father,
told The Associated Press.
Austin, a junior at Canterbury,
committed earlier this month to
play basketball at Michigan,
wherehis father andmother went
to school.
He told the Journal Gazette of
Fort Wayne for a story published
last week that he talked to Michi-
gan coach John Beilein by phone
and accepted a full-ride scholar-
ship. It was the first day that
NCAAcoaches could call recruits
for the 2013 class, the newspaper
said.
It was a very special moment
for me, Hatch told the newspa-
per. Therewas noreasontowait.
Theres nothing I dont like about
their program, andI couldnt turn
it down.
Kline, who spoke with Michi-
gan coaches before the offer, told
the newspaper it was Austins
dream to play for Michigan.
They didnt come right out
andsayit, but theytoldmehewas
a top priority in the state of Indi-
ana, he said. They kept drop-
ping hints.
Kline said Saturday the teamis
stunned.
Right now, were just trying to
collect our thoughts and stick to-
gether, he said. Theyre a close-
knit group.
Bojrab said the Hatches were
flying to their summer home on
Walloon Lake in Michigans
northwestern Lower Peninsula,
where Stephen Hatch and his
brothers all owned property,
whenhis single-engineplaneflew
into a garage near the Charlevoix
Municipal Airport. It was the
same home Stephen Hatch and
the family were returning from
nearly eight years ago when they
crashed in Indiana.
He was such a strong propo-
nent of flyingandteachingpeople
to fly. ... I think he felt compelled
to continue his passion, saidBoj-
rab, a partner with Hatch in Pain
Management Associates in Fort
Wayne.
Hefelt compelledtoshowpeo-
ple that accidents do happen. He
didnt want people to look in the
other direction.

WILKES-BARRE Last year,
Pete Lynch decided he wanted a
crack at the big boys.
Lynch relished his opportuni-
ty against some of the regions
top senior softball teams as
Swoyersville-based Lynch Con-
structionwent 1-2 onSaturday at
The City of Wilkes-Barre Sum-
mer Classic in Kirby Park.
With no local senior softball
team competing at the national
level, Lynch rounded up several
players from the Birchwood,
Kingston and Wilkes-Barre Rec-
reation leagues. This marks the
softball teams first season in Se-
nior Softball World Champion-
ship competition.
We didnt want to sit around,
Lynch said. We wanted to play
some other teams from around
the country. We may be in our
50s, but we like to play as much
as we can.
LynchConstructionearnedits
only win of the tournament
when it defeated Norristowns
TNTSports Clubbya19-18score
in its final game of the day.
In its second game, Lynch
Construction was forced to play
outside its classification and
nearly defeated majors-ranked
Northern Ohio Printing, falling
21-20. The SSWC has a four-
tiered rating system based on
how many tournaments each
team has won. Lynch Construc-
tion plays at the AAA level a
notch below the majors.
Lynch Construction scored
seven runs in the top of the final
inning, and a two-run home run
by Hank Buczynski, of Spring
Brook Township, capped the
scoring before a pop-out ended
the frame.
Thinking it had tied the game
after Buczynskis homer, Lynch
Construction took the field in
the bottomof the seventh before
officials noted it came up short
by a run.
If the IRS was auditing the
scorekeeping, some people
would be in trouble, joked Buc-
zynski, whose team fell to Allen-
towns Mountainville Fire Co. 17-
14 in its first game.
Fittingly, Lynch Construction
is competing in the inaugural
running of the Summer Classic
a qualifying tournament for the
SSWC international champion-
ships held in Phoenix. The tour-
nament is Pennsylvanias first
qualifying tournament since
2008. It will compete for the
Class AAA 50-plus champion-
ship today in a best-of-three se-
ries beginning at noon.
This is great, said Lynch of
this weekends tournament. We
travel all over the country. We
dont have to get a hotel. It gives
us a huge advantage.
Lynch Construction is revel-
ing in the newcompetition. Buc-
zynski hit three home runs in his
first SSWC tournament.

NANTICOKE Former Penn
State running back Austin Scotts
semipro debut with the North
East PA Miners brought a crowd
of approximately 1,250 people to
Saturdays season opener at Nan-
ticoke High School.
Scott, who was signed by the
Scranton-based team on Thurs-
day, saw limited action, running
for 15 yards on six carries and
catching a pass for minus-4 yards.
The Electric City Chargers
used a strong running attack in a
44-7 victory over the Miners.
Many Nittany Lions fans made
the trek to the season opener to
see Austin suit up for the Miners.
Art Zimmerman, a Penn State
season ticket holder, traveled
fromDelano in Schuylkill County
to see Austin.
I saw it on the news and fig-
ured itd give me another chance
tosee himplay, he said. I was al-
ways a fan of his in college.
Scott was a highly touted blue-
chip recruit out of Parkland out-
side Allentown and rushed for a
state-record 3,853 yards and 53
touchdowns in his senior year.
USA Today named him a second-
team All-American after he was
named the Class 4A Player of the
Year in 2002.
He had a mediocre career with
the Nittany Lions before sexual
assault allegations that were later
dropped ended his career in Hap-
py Valley
Whenever he entered the
game, Scott receivedarousingap-
plause from Miners fans. He car-
riedtheball for a10-yardrushfor a
first down to end the first quarter.
Zimmerman said that he will
probably return to more Miners
games to see a player he said was
short-changed in State College.
Hesaid, I thinkhegot theshaft
at Penn State to put it bluntly.
Other fans whocame out tosee
Scotts debut were less than im-
pressed by his football career.
Its sad that hes come from
Happy Valley to playing semipro
in Nanticoke, said Ryan Conway,
of Kingston. I came to see how
big he is and how fast he is com-
paredtotherest of theguysout on
the field.
Joe Lapkoski, of Waymart, said
that its too early to judge Scotts
abilitiesintheMajor LeagueFoot-
ball Conference because he was
signedtwodays beforethestart of
the season and has had limited
time to get adjusted to the play-
book.
I think hes pretty good for just
being here, said Lapkoski. I
thought Id be more impressed,
given where hes come from, but
theres a lot that goes into it that
he missed out on.
Scott and the Miners were out-
performed by the Chargers offen-
sive attack that totaled 37 consec-
utive points.
Austin is a great performer,
and he did a lot of good things
from what I saw, said Jerry Ko-
walski, a PSU fan from Blakely
who came to see Scott play.
What has happened was he was
outperformed by a Chargers run-

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Former PSU running back Austin Scott of the Miners carries the
ball against the Chargers in Nanticoke on Saturday.
The NEPA Miners opened their
semipro football season on a down
note Saturday night as the Electric
City Chargers posted a 44-7 victory
in a non-league game at Nanticoke
High School.
Former Penn State running back
Austin Scott made his debut for the
Miners, rushing six times for 16
yards.
The Miners took a 7-0 lead in the
first quarter after linebacker Brad
Allen scored on a 10-yard fumble
return. But from then on, Electric
City took control.
Quarterback Tim McFarland threw
his first of four TD passes to put the
Chargers on the board. After Craig
Heywood scored on a 55-yard punt
return, McFarland hooked up three
more times, including a 78-yard TD
pass to Earl Chapman and a 79-yard
score to Shamaar Coates.
Miners quarterback Justin Piont-
kowski connected on 9-of-22 at-
tempt for 79 yards. He led the
rushing with five carries for 22
yards. Nate Bowden led the receiv-
ing with four catches for 42 yards.
The Miners are off next weekend.
They will host the Red City Outlaws
on July 9 in another non-league
contest.

SONOMA, Calif. The wind-
ing road course in Sonoma is a
perfect fit with the serenity and
peacefulness of the NorthernCal-
ifornia wine country.
All that charmwent tothe way-
side last year when 43 stock cars
fired up their engines and aban-
doned the idea that racing
around the twisting 11-turn, 1.99-
mile Infineon Raceway requires
finesse, patience and maybe even
a bit of dignity.
What ensued was an eye-pop-
ping demolition derby as drivers
ran each other over, knocked cars
out of the way, and collected
names for further retribution.
The man at the center of the
brouhaha was Jeff Gordon, the
very prince of the valley.
Disaster. It was just one of
those terrible days where I made
a lot of mistakes, no doubt made
a lot of people unhappy and been
trying to move on from it ever
since, Gordon said of last years
race. Thanks for bringing it up,
though.
Although the five-time Sono-
ma winner finished fifth last sea-
son, he left a trail of angry drivers
in his wake, with Kurt Busch at
the head of the line that included
Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr.
and Elliott Sadler.
It was an off-day for Jeff,
Busch said. He apologized to a
handful of guys afterward and for
some reason (he) pinpointed me,
excluded apologizing to me.
Countered Gordon, Ive tried
to apologize to the ones that I re-
ally made mistakes with. There
were some racing incidents that
went onthat daythat was just rac-
ingandthat youjust move onand
race one another however you
race one another.
Busch, a year later, believes he
was owed an apology.
I thought that was interesting
because he just drove straight
through our right rear, gave us a
flat and we finished 32nd, Busch
said. You have your bad days.
You have your moments of beat-
ing and banging. Its one of those
things where the lines keep get-
tingdrawnfurther andfurther to-
ward the aggressive side here at
Sonoma.
Defendingrace-winner Jimmie
Johnson, the five-time reigning
champion, said the road course
racing breeds an aggression and
style so different from a regular
race. NASCAR races on road
courses twice a year.
When youre in the center of
the pack, its just an energy that
exists when somebody makes a
questionable move on you and
your excitement level goes up,
and now you make a move on a
guy and it just kind of breeds this
style of racing and were going to
see it, Johnson said. The pass-
ing zones, drivers are so aggres-
sive in defending the passing
zones and braking zones that you
have to find a different way by or
just bomb it in there and eight-
tires-are-better-than-four mental-
ity and hope that you make it. I
think theres a very good chance
of a lot of action taking place.
It will be easy for tempers to
explode early and often today,
whichis why Kyle Buschis trying
to take a more Zen focus into the
race.
You definitely have to be a lot
more forgiving in different cor-
ners, Kyle Busch said. .
But Tony Stewart, who com-
plained last week at Michigan
that drivers were acting like a
bunch of idiots on restarts, is
willing to wager today will be ex-
citing in a way Stewart doesnt
want to see.

FRANKFURT, Germany
By the time Germany plays the
official opener of the Womens
World Cup to day, France and Ni-
geria will have already begun
the three-week tournament.
As host, Germany has the
honor of opening the 16-team
event, facing Canada at Berlins
Olympic Stadiumafter the open-
ing ceremony. But three hours
before that,
France
plays Nige-
ria at Sin-
sheim in
the first
game on the
schedule.
Germany,
the two-
time de-
fending
champion,
is looking to become the first na-
tion to win three World Cup ti-
tles.
Its the best team Germany
has ever had and I believe they
can win the title, said Steffi
Jones, president of the organiz-
ing committee and a former Ger-
many star.
Chancellor Angela Merkel,
German President Christian
Wulff and FIFA President Sepp
Blatter are to be among the ca-
pacity crowd of 73,680 at Olym-
pic Stadium, which hosted the fi-
nal of the 2006 mens World Cup.
If we play well, its a lot cool-
er when more than 70,000 are
celebrating and making the
wave than to play before 150,
Germany captain Birgit Prinz
said.
German womens league
games often draw no more than
a couple of hundred fans, even
though it boasts some of the top
players in the world, not only
Germans.
The German organizers have
made a big effort to promote the
tournament that runs until July
17 and say that 80 percent of the
90,000 tickets have now been
sold.
Berlin has the biggest stadi-
um, but it will host only the
opener, with the tournament
spread over nine venues across
Germany. Frankfurt, which
hosts the final, is the only other
stadium that was used for the
2006 tournament. Most other
arenas seat between 20,000 and
30,000.
If she scores, Prinz will be-
come the first woman to have
scored at least one goal in five
World Cups. She leads the ca-
reer list with 14 goals.
At 33, she is a household
name in Germany with a stag-
gering 212 international appear-
ances and 128 goals. Prinz plans
to retire from the national team
after the World Cup.
I am just very happy that the
stadium is going to be full and
that I can be there in my last ma-
jor tournament, she said.
Germany will be missing for-
ward Martina Mueller with a
hamstring injury.
The mood is good, we are
pleased to get going, said Ger-
many coach Silvia Neid, whose
team has spent more than two
months at a training camp.
We are playing against a very
strong rival that has good attack-
ing players, Neid said. Its al-
ways important to start a tour-
nament with a win.
Germany has won all its previ-
ous nine games against Canada,
the last one 5-0 a year ago.
Since losing to the United
States in the quarterfinals in
1999, Germany is undefeated in
12 World Cup matches, with 11
wins. It won the title four years
ago in China without conceding
a goal.
There are few teams that can
beat Germany, said Canadas
Italian coach Carolina Morace.
Moraces top player, striker
Christine Sinclair, said Canada
had nothing to lose.
We are outsiders. We can
play without pressure and give
our best, said Sinclair, who has
116 goals from 159 internation-
als.
In Sinsheim, south of Frank-
furt, where the 30,000-capacity
stadium used by Bundesliga
club Hoffenheim has not been
sold out, France will try to show
it should not be overlooked.
Silvia Neid named seven
teams that can win the title, but
she did not mention France. She
will have to change that, France
coach Bruno Bini said.

ATLANTA Nick Charles, a
former taxi driver who became
CNNs first sports anchor, died
Saturdayafter atwo-year struggle
with bladder cancer, the cable
network reported.
He died peacefully at his New
Mexico home, his wife Cory told
the network. He was 64.
Nicholas Charles Nickeas grew
up in Chicago, working late-night
jobs inhighschool tohelphis fam-
ily, according to CNN. He eventu-
ally went to college to study com-
munications and drove a taxi to
help pay his tuition.
He was still driving taxis in
1970 when he landed his first gig
with WICS in Springfield, Ill.
Thats whenhe adoptedthe name
Nick Charles at the urging of his
news director, the network said.
Charles later left Springfield to
work at local stations in Balti-
more and Washington and then
began at Atlanta-based CNN on
the networks first day in 1980.
He made his name before a na-
tional audience teaming with
FredHickmanfor almost 20 years
on Sports Tonight, a daily high-
light show that battled with
ESPN for viewers. Charles be-
came such a popular TV person-
ality that Topps put his face on a
trading card, CNN reported.
We clicked from the begin-
ning, Hickman told CNN in an
interview. In television, you al-
ways have personality conflicts.
Nick and I never had one.
In an interview in March, he
told the network his message was
to never give up on life.
People wont remember who
you are or what you said. Its real-
ly about: Are you going to be re-
membered as a good person? he
said.
Thats victory to me. Thats
success.

GOLF NOTES
ST. PAUL, Minn. The NHL
draft has resumed, and the West-
ern Hockey League is supplying
more top talent.
The Edmonton Oilers made
the first pick Saturday, taking de-
fenseman David Musil to start
the second round. The St. Louis
Blues, without a first-round se-
lection Friday, grabbed right
wing Ty Rattie with the 32nd
pick.
Musil and Rattie played in the
WHL last season. The Oilers
opened the draft Friday by taking
center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins,
the first WHL player to go first
overall since 1996.
The host Minnesota Wilddrew
a cheer from the crowd by deal-
ing their third- and fourth-round
picks to the Vancouver Canucks
and moving into the second
round to take left wing Mario Lu-
cia at No. 60. Lucia played at
Wayzata High School in the Twin
Cities area, and his father Don is
head coach at the University of
Minnesota.
Minnesota is home to a multi-
tude of Scandinavian descend-
ants, particularly Sweden. So
this was the perfect place for
Swedes to dominate the top of
the NHL draft.
For the first time in league his-
tory, four players born in Sweden
were among the top 10 selec-
tions. There were a record-tying
six Swedes taken in the first
roundFriday night, matchingthe
totals from1993 and 2009.
Its really cool, said defense-
man Jonas Brodin, who went to
the hometown Wild with the
10th pick.
Left wing Gabriel Landeskog
was selected second by the Col-
orado Avalanche. Defenseman
AdamLarsson went fourth to the
New Jersey Devils. Mika Zibane-
jad was taken with the sixth pick
by the Ottawa Senators.
I knowthose guys. Theyre re-
ally good guys. Its very good for
Sweden, Brodin said.
The seven top-10 picks from
Sweden in the last three years
matched the number of top-10
Swedes over the 23 years before
that. Clearly, the talent pool in
the northern European hockey
hotbed is continuing to grow.
Half of the 30 first-rounders
hail from Canada, including the
first pick by the Edmonton Oil-
ers, center RyanNugent-Hopkins
of the Western Hockey League.
Five were Americans, with one
each from Denmark, Finland,
Russia and Switzerland.
Zibanejad, if he makes the
team, will join a couple of
Swedes on the Senators roster,
including captain Daniel Alfreds-
son.
Landeskog had 36 goals in 53
games last season for the Kitch-
ener Rangers of the Ontario
Hockey League. Larsson played
two full seasons for Skelleftea
and was the third blue-liner in
Swedish Elite League history to
make his debut at age 16. Zibane-
jad born in Stockholm to a
Finnish mother and an Iranian fa-
ther played for Djurgarden.
Brodin played for Farjestad.

BUL L E T I N
BOARD
A
s I kicked out six pheasant
chicks while mowing a hay field
last week, I had a hard time
believing that lack of habitat is the
primary reason behind the decline of
pheasants in Pennsylvania.
The field was thick with orchard
grass and timothy, and the pheasants
were big enough to fly out well ahead
of the tractor and land in the safety of a
nearby diversion ditch. The young
pheasants benefited from the wet
weather that delayed the hay mowing
season long enough to give them extra
time to grow in the safety of the thick
field.
But even after all the hay fields are
cut, I continue to see pheasants male
and female, chicks and adults. It seems
the birds probably the descendants of
those released from a backyard pen
years ago have found a way to survive
and thrive in the middle of an active
farm.
They do so by utilizing the thick
fields of hay in the spring and early
summer. Once the hay is cut, the
pheasants do quite well residing in
overgrown diversion ditches, cornfields
and hedgerows.
Its not much, but apparently its
enough.
Evidence that pheasants can survive
on scant cover doesnt exist only in
Pennsylvania.
South Dakota considered by many
to be the top pheasant state in the
country -- also has places where the
birds survive in little cover.
Sure, the cornfields in South Dakota
are vast and harbor a ton of pheasants.
But once the fields are combined they
are nothing more but a barren land-
scape of corn stubble.
So where do the pheasants go?
During a hunting trip there years
ago, we found plenty of pheasants in
the narrow cover of roadside ditches
and wind shelterbelts of trees.
Once again, they didnt need much.
So what is the main reason for the
pheasant decline in Pennsylvania if it
isnt only loss of habitat?
It could be hunting pressure too
much of it.
During the pheasant boom in the
late 1960s through the 1970s, it wasnt
uncommon for more than one million
pheasants to be harvested in Penn-
sylvania each hunting season.
It also wasnt uncommon for the
Pennsylvania Game Commission to sell
well over one million hunting licenses
each year either.
In 1971, for example, more than 1.3
million pheasants were taken and 1.13
million hunting licenses were sold.
Back then, the majority of hunters
pursued small game mainly rabbits
and pheasants.
Its a trend that continued into the
1980s until pheasant numbers began to
decline drastically.
Still, while pheasant numbers drop-
ped, hunting license sales remained
over the one million mark.
The hunting pressure didnt drop
right away with the decrease in pheas-
ant populations.
Throughout the last 10 years the
pheasant harvest has dropped to well
under 200,000. Likewise, the number
of pheasant hunters has also decreased
to 80,116 as of 2008.
Its a far cry from the million-plus
numbers of decades ago. But, in my
opinion, the loss of habitat alone isnt
to blame. Perhaps the hunting pressure
was just too much for too long.
There is hope that things will re-
bound. The Wild Pheasant Recovery
Area in Columbia, Montour and North-
umberland counties is proving that
wild birds can re-establish in Penn-
sylvania again. The PGC will also in-
crease its pheasant allocation next year
from100,000 to 200,000.
Sure, we dont have the amount of
small game habitat that once covered
the state, but we also dont have one
million hunters chasing pheasants
anymore. Maybe just putting more
birds into the habitat that we do have
left is all thats needed.

Rob Rosencrans doesnt
have to worry about his
wife getting on his back
when he goes fishing.
Most of the time, shell
be casting right alongside
him.
Since Rosencrans and his
fiancee Lynda Morris, first
met last May, they have
become more than a future
husband and wife.
They have evolved into a
bass fishing team.
And it happened quickly.
Other than a few outings
with her father when she
was a child, Morris really
hadnt fished before. Ro-
sencrans, on the other
hand, is a die-hard small-
mouth angler and vice
president of the Suskie
Bassmasters.
The two were matched
on a dating website, and it
was inevitable that the
topic of fishing would come
up at some point.
Morris just didnt realize
how soon.
A week after we met, he pulls up in
my driveway with a boat and said were
going fishing, Morris said. That was
our second date.
And the start of a relationship made
stronger through fishing.
Today, Rosencrans and Morris fish as a
team for a Monday night tournament on
the river, the Suskie Bassmasters
Wednesday tournament at Nesbitt Park
and the Lackawanna County Bassmasters
night tourney at Lake Wallenpaupack.
They are also on the pro staffs of several
fishing equipment manufacturers and
organizations, such as Pink Fishing an
angling apparel company that benefits
breast cancer research.
Last year was Morris first on the tour-
nament bass circuit, and she fared pretty
well competing in 26 events. She finished
in seventh place at the Suskie Bassmas-
ters Championship and fourth in the
Monday night team tournament cham-
pionship, with Rosencrans of course.
Not bad for a first-timer.
She learned pretty quick, Rosencrans
said. The big misconcep-
tion is most guys think
women cant or dont want
to fish. But women can be
just as good at fishing as
men, or better.
As a partner, shes been
great.
Morris and Rosencrans
plan to fish in more than 60
tournaments together this
year. But that doesnt count
the time that theyll load
up the boat and head out to
the river at 5 a.m. to cast
for smallmouths and sim-
ply spend some quality
time together.
Its something that Mor-
ris who shared her hobby
of fencing with Rosencrans
is glad she tried.
These are our hobbies
so we should share them
with each other, Morris
said. I do think fishing
made our relationship
stronger simply because it
allows us to spend time
together. Well take the
boat out at 5 a.m. and hit
the water, and thats our
getaway.
The fishing couple hit the water about
three times a week, Rosencrans said. For
Rosencrans, every time he is on the wa-
ter with Morris is confirmation that he
made the right choice with his future
wife.
Not only is Morris 100 percent support-
ive of his angling habit, but shes also just
as passionate about it.
I never expected it and its been a very
nice surprise, Rosencrans said. It never
even crossed my mind that we would
turn out to be a husband-and-wife fishing
team. But Lynda is very competitive and
she likes that aspect of the tournaments.
Shes still learning the sport and were
growing together through fishing.
Couple see hobby as competitive outlet and our getaway

OMAHA, Neb. No one ar-
gues that the Southeastern Con-
ference is the class of college
baseball this year.
Now its time to find out who
truly is best in the league, and na-
tion, when defending champion
South Carolina and Florida meet
in the College World Series finals
starting Monday.
The Gamecocks (53-14) and
Gators (53-17) shared the SEC
Eastern Division title with a Van-
derbilt team that also made it to
the CWS final four.
Florida won the conference
tournament, beating Vanderbilt,
and South Carolina owns a re-
cord 14 consecutive NCAA tour-
nament victories.
South Carolina won two of
three games against Florida in
the regular season, but that was
all the way back in March.
Their finals matchup marks
the first time since 1998 that two
teams from the same conference
will square off for the title.
We know its not easy. We
know theres a long way to go in
this thing, Gators coach Kevin
OSullivan said. But you have to
get there. So were excited for
playing for the national cham-
pionship, but were going to be
business as usual for the next
couple days.
OSullivan hasnt announced a
starting pitcher for Game 1.
Sophomore Hudson Randall
(11-3) and freshman Karsten
Whitson (8-0) are available. Ran-
dall earned the win in the Gators
CWS opener against Texas on
June 18, and Whitson (8-0) start-
ed against Vanderbilt on June 20.
Gamecocks coach Ray Tanner
said he was leaning toward start-
ing freshman Forrest Koumas
(6-1), who last pitched June 5 in
regionals.
South Carolinas biggest pitch-
ing concern is the availability of
closer Matt Price, who threw 90
pitches and got out of three
bases-loaded situations in a sea-
son-long 5
2
3 innings in Fridays
3-2, 13-inning win over Virginia.
What are the chances of rain
on Monday, Tanner said, laugh-
ing. Were certainly going to be
able to use two days (off), but a
third might not be bad.
The forecast calls for a 40 per-
cent chance of scattered storms
on Monday. The first CWS at TD
Ameritrade Park already has had
its share of weather problems,
with a strong thunderstormcaus-
ing the suspension of a game last
Monday and showers causing a
68-minute rain delay the next
day.
We have to try to get Matt
turned around as best we can in
the next few days and go from
there, Tanner said. At this point
you just try to figure it out as you
go and do the best you can.
South Carolinas path to the fi-
nals has been much smoother
this year. A year ago the Game-
cocks lost their first game here
before becoming the first teamin
CWS history to roll off six
straight wins. They swept UCLA
in the finals.
The Gamecocks won three
straight to advance to this years
finals, though it took until their
final at-bat to win two of the
games.
I coached for a long time and
was unable to get to Omaha as a
head coach, Tanner said. And
then we were here a few times.
Its something you never take for
granted. We played in the finals
last year and we got back there
again. Im grateful.
The Gamecocks have allowed
two earned runs in 31 innings
(0.58 ERA). Michael Roth has
surrendered just one earned run
in 14 1-3 innings and Price, the
closer, has given up none in 6 2-3
innings.
South Carolina is batting .274
in its three games, best in a CWS
field that has struggled to gener-
ate offense in the spacious new
stadium where the wind regular-
ly blows in.
The Gators were swept by Tex-
as in 2005 in their only other ap-
pearance in the CWS finals. Last
year they went 0-2 in Omaha.
With 100 wins in 2010-11, the Ga-
tors are in the best two-year
stretch in program history.
The Gators are batting .265
here compared with .311 the rest
of the season. They came in with
a nation-leading 67 home runs.

For most of us,
today will offer a
very comfortable
combination of
temperature and
humidity for out-
door work and
play. A northerly
wind will help to
keep tempera-
tures a few
degrees below
normal, and
despite some
cloudiness the
day should
remain rain free.
Our next chance
for rain will
come Monday
night and on
Tuesday in the
form of showers
and storms.
After that, some
really fine sum-
mer weather will
move in by
Thursday, but it
may not last
through the holi-
day weekend. A
surge of hot
weather may
precede showers
over the week-
end with cooler
conditions by
the Fourth of
July.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and thunderstorms are expected across the northern Plains and mid-
dle Mississippi Valley today. Some thunderstorms could be severe with large hail and damaging
winds. Locally heavy rain is also possible in the northern Plains. Rainfall is expected in parts of New
England.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N D
THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JUNE 26, 2011
timesleader.com
Y
our small business is the low
bidder on a big government
contract. But the phone rings
before you are awarded the job and a
voice on the other end says you wont
be doing the work, its going to some-
one else. Youre given no further expla-
nation. So your plans to order materi-
als and hire extra help evaporate, along
with the profit you would have made
and reinvested in your business.
Thats what happened a few years
ago to Sew-Fine Draperies & Interiors
in Luzerne, and though he cant be
sure, business owner Dick Evans sus-
pects the contract went to someone
who greased the palms of elected offi-
cials.
It would have made our year,
Evans said of the job in Lackawanna
County. We would have needed about
four people for three to four weeks just
to install the stuff.
Thats just one example of how cor-
ruption and crony capitalism stunt
economic growth in this region. The
reasons are quite basic, said Miser-
icordia University business professor
John Sumansky.
Competitive conditions require
good information and result in superior
outcomes, he said. When the system
works well, people pay for what they
get and get what they pay for.
But when corruption and favoritism
rule, he added, youre not sure youre
getting the quality you paid for, wheth-
er thats in a teacher or a new set of
drapes. He cited one study that esti-
mated corruption adds 5-15 percent to
taxpayer costs for government oper-
ations, figures he thinks may be low.
Evans has seen this effect firsthand.
His bids for Luzerne County work
often included writing the specifica-
tions, measuring and identifying fab-
rics, even down to the colors. But he
never got the contracts, while those
who did often ignored the guidelines.
Thats understandable, Sumansky
said: Somebodys paying for things not
delivered because the cost of payoffs
has to be covered.
Sumansky has witnessed what hap-
pens when a society collapses under
the weight of official corruption during
stints in the Czech Republic, Romania
and most recently Macedonia.
In Romania, he said, corruption is so
rampant and ingrained that no one
trusts any institution, so much of the
economy operates in a black market
that has its own problems with trust.
As a result, theyre still lagging way,
way behind.
The fundamental problem, Suman-
sky said, is that governments in that
region have not been structured to
serve the public good. Unfortunately,
were learning that has been true in
some parts of Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia and were likely paying for it in
ways we dont see and can hardly imag-
ine.
But its safe to say that some local
businesses are less successful than they
deserve to be and that the climate of
corruption thats been exposed makes
it harder to attract new employers,
something we certainly could use.

If youre traveling, plenty of
hotel chains offer senior dis-
counts. Motel 6 and Days Inn
offer 10 percent off standard
room rates for guests age 60
and older. The Marriot chain
offers 15 percent off for those
ages 62 and older. Senior dis-
counts are available at almost
every chain, from Best West-
ern to Holiday Inn. They vary
depending on the age of the
guest and how far in advance
you book. Essentially, the
older you are and the earlier
you book, the better the dis-
count.
Taking your own vehicle on
vacation? Get those repairs
made and oil changed. Many
automotive shops offer senior
discounts. Jack Williams gives
a 5 percent senior discount.
Kost Tire and Auto and Monro
Muffler give you 10 percent
off. Pep Boys also gives you 10
percent off all services and
supplies but only on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays.
You must be 55 and older and
ask for the senior rate at all
three businesses.
Dont want to put the wear
and tear on your own automo-
bile?
Plenty of car-rental firms
offer senior discounts, in-
cluding Budget and Dollar.
Dont want to drive or fly?
Amtrak offers a 15 percent
discount on an adult rail fare
every day for ages 62 and over,
with some exclusions. Grey-
hound bus gives a 5 to 10 per-
cent discount for adults 55
and older. Martz buses offer a
12 percent discount off regular
fares, but you must mention
the discount and show valid
picture ID.
Looking for some savings at
the lunch counter?
All Wendys locations give
diners requesting the senior
discount 10 percent off. And
all McDonalds locations give
discounted coffee to seniors.
Want to make your meals at
home? Do your grocery shop-
ping on Tuesdays, when some
local grocers offer discounts.
Shop at Thomas Family
Markets, where seniors over
age 61 get a 5 percent discount
on groceries. At Schiels Fam-
ily Markets those age 55 or
older get 5 percent, and at
Gerritys markets, those ages
65 or older get 5 percent off a
purchase of $5.
A trip to the movie theater
keeps getting more and more
expensive. But not as much
for seniors. R/C Theaters in
Wilkes-Barre and Marquee
Cinemas at Montage Mountain
offers $6 tickets to those ages
60 and older for all non-3D
shows, except the first show-
ing of the afternoon. Thats
even cheaper at $5.25. At Re-
gal Cinemas in Hazle Town-
ship, seniors pay $6.50 for all
shows, except 3D movies.
If youre a golfer, some area
courses have senior deals.
Mountain Laurel Golf Club
near White Haven has senior
days Monday through Wednes-
day. For $30, any player who is
at least 60 years of age can
play a round and ride a cart.
Seniors also receive a free hot
dog and soda with their round
of golf. Edgewood in the Pines
near Drums charges seniors 55
and older $18 walking rates for
the course on weekdays.
While many offers require
no club memberships, I recom-
mend signing up for the AARP
card. You need to be only 50
or older to get the card, and
annual memberships run $16.
The discounts are too many to
list here, but you can see them
by logging on to http://
www.aarp.org/benefits-dis-
counts.
Finally, Id like to share one
last word of advice. Our se-
niors are always giving me
sage guidance. So heres some
wisdom I will impart to our
seniors: Asking if theres a
senior discount never hurts.

LARSKVILLE A pair of clas-
sy auto brands nowhave classier
showrooms in which to sit.
Wyoming Valley Motors has
completed a $2-million upgrade
of its Audi and Porsche dealer-
shiponRoute11inLarksville and
will hold a grand opening from 6
p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday for
customers and the public.
For customers who havent
been to the building for two
years, the changes are not only
noticeable, theyre impossible to
miss, said Steve Ubaldini, vice
president and general manager
of Wyoming Valley Motors.
The upgrades include 1,400-
square-feet of added showroom
space, WiFi access throughout
the 29,000 square-foot building,
new lighting, new flat screen tel-
evisions, new floors and a com-
plete redesign of the service area
and showroom.
The growthof bothbrands and
requests fromthe manufacturers
led to the upgrades, something
Ubaldini said caused headaches
over the five years since the pro-
ject got underway. But the re-
sults were worth the inconve-
nience of the sales team having
toworkout of a trailer for the bet-
ter part of a year.
It was a nightmare doing it,
but Imextremelyhappywiththe
results, Ubaldini said.
Walking around the facility
that includes vehicles with start-
ing prices in excess of $100,000,
the layout is one Ubaldini said is
geared toward customer com-
fort.
He said the $2 million spent,
the dealings with manufacturer-
hired architects and the numer-
ous changes of plans paid off in
the end.
The growth of both brands
and where theyre going, Ubal-
dini said, made the investment
worthwhile.
Audi is the number one luxu-
ry brand in the world but not yet
in the United States. But it will
be. The only thing stopping us
from selling more is getting
them.
The dealership sells about 300
Audis a year, six times more than
Porsche. The Porsche side of the
showroom is a bit darker than
the Audi side and prominently
displays some glass cases dis-
playing Porsche branded items
for sale a company mandate.
I wasnt sure howmuch some
of this stuff would sell, but
theyre selling, Ubaldini said. In
addition to the standard metal
brand logo plates for the front of
the cars and key chains, the bou-
tiques have cufflinks and die cast
models.
The Audi showroomhas travel
coffee mugs for sale and in the
service waiting area Audi has a
small corner boutique with racks
of clothing, and cases of branded
items similar to whats found in
the Porsche showroom.
Among the dcor on the
Porsche side of the 2,900 square-
foot showroom are glass squares
with quotations by Dr. Ferry
Porsche, the automobile compa-
nys late founder.
One, hung near the Fitting
Lounge where people can de-
sign their own vehicle, from col-
or, to interior materials, is appro-
priate for the newmodern show-
room.
Its always been a principle of
our company that function and
beauty are inseparable.

NEW YORK Global mil-
lionaires ranks rose by 8.3 per-
cent last year as the Asia-Pacif-
ic region overtook Europe for
the first time, according to a re-
port by Capgemini and Merrill
Lynch Global Wealth Manage-
ment.
The number of individuals
with at least $1million of inves-
table assets increased to 10.9
million after markets rebound-
ed following the financial cri-
sis, according to the 15th an-
nual World Wealth Report pub-
lished last week. Global wealth
held by millionaires rose to
$42.7 trillion, exceeding the
$40.7 trillion reported for
2007.
Millionaires in the Asia-Pa-
cific region jumped 9.7 percent
to 3.3 million with the numbers
in Hong Kong and Vietnam
both climbing by about a third,
the report showed. That com-
pares with growth of 6.3 per-
cent to 3.1 million in Europe
and 8.6 percent to 3.4 million
in North America.
Regionally, Asia-Pacific was
the real star of the growth sto-
ry, John Thiel, head of U.S.
wealth management for Merrill
Lynch Global Wealth Manage-
ment, said at a press briefing in
New York. Stock-market re-
turns and increases in the value
of real estate in the region were
major contributors, he said.
Global equity market capital-
ization rose 18 percent in 2010,
the report said. The MSCI AC
World Index, which tracks
global stocks in developed and
emerging markets, returned 13
percent in 2010 and the MSCI
Asia Pacific Index returned 17
percent, according to data
compiled by Bloomberg.
Africa showed the biggest in-
crease in millionaires by region
with growth of 11.1 percent,
while India entered the top 12
country rankings for the first
time, with 153,000. The num-
ber of millionaires in China
grew by 12 percent to 534,500.
China ranked fourth in the
number of millionaires trailing
the U.S., Japan and Germany.
About 53 percent of the
worlds millionaires, or individ-
uals with at least $1 million in
investable assets excluding pri-
mary residences and collecti-
bles, are found in the United
States, Japan and Germany, the
report showed.

Its an uncomfortable sum-
mertime moment that many
small business owners face: A
female staffer shows up for
work in the shortest of shorts.
Or a male staffer arrives wear-
ing a tank top. And they work in
full view of customers or cli-
ents.
Dress code clashes arent
confined to the summer
months. But they do tend to be
more frequent than in colder
months when everyone is cov-
ering up. Employers who dont
like a lot of skin showing need
to create a dress code, and do it
now.
Chances are, most of your
staffers do have a sense of how
they should dress for work. But
having a dress code will help
you avoid problems or to re-
solve them easily.
Your staffer in a skimpy outfit
may protest when you say thats
inappropriate dress for work.
But you have the law on your
side.
Employers are allowed to re-
quire employees to wear cer-
tain kinds of clothes, and to ban
other types fromthe workplace.
Consider that uniforms are re-
quired in some jobs. And that
some clothes can be forbidden
because of safety issues.
But the boss is also allowed
to determine what kind of at-
mosphere the company is try-
ing to project, and to require
employees to conform with it.
The law does require you to
create a dress code that is, to
use a legalism, gender-neutral.
That means that youre telling
both sexes to dress appropriate-
ly. And the law does require
that you dont discriminate
against someones religious be-
liefs -- for example, by banning
turbans or dreadlocks that are
worn for religious reasons.
The biggest concern that
most business owners have
when it comes to how staffers
dress is the impression that cus-
tomers have of the company. So
many wont want a receptionist
to have exposed bra straps and
a very short skirt. Or a sales as-
sociate in a T-shirt.
Its a good idea to explain at
the start of the dress code why
youre creating one.
You should also state any
safety concerns you have.
Rick Gibbs, a senior human
resources specialist with In-
sperity, a Houston-based HR
provider, recommends listing
what isnt acceptable. For ex-
ample, tank tops, shirts with-
out collars, see-through fabrics,
ripped or dirty jeans.
You should use specifics. If
you ban skirts that are too
short, what constitutes too
short? You need to provide the
number of inches above the
knee where a skirts hem must
fall.
Be sure you list clothes typ-
ically worn by men, and those
that are worn by women. Not
doing that can put you at risk of
a discrimination suit.
Its a good idea to have either
a human resources expert or a
labor lawyer look over your
dress code.
Gibbs says employers should
speak privately to staffers who
are dressing inappropriately
and remind them about the
dress code and the reasons for
it. He says the policy should al-
so indicate that staffers who vi-
olate it will be asked to change
what they wear. If they resist,
you probably want to start
treating this as a performance
and disciplinary issue.
SMALL TALK
Too much skin? Time to create a dress code
By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG
AP Business Writer
Q: I supervise two dispatchers
at our local 911 emergency cen-
ter. Unfortunately, one of them
wont listentoanythingI tell her.
Donna sometimes gives out in-
correct directions, so I try to in-
terrupt the call and correct her.
She just ignores me and contin-
ues transmitting, which slows
down the officers response.
I haveexplainedtoDonnathat
I am only trying to ensure that
we sendhelptothe right address
as quickly as possible. Although
she says she understands, she
continues to disregard my in-
structions.
Donna doesnt seem to care
about her mistakes, so I dont
know what to do. Ive talked to
my manager, but he hasnt been
any help.
A: If youdont knowhowto re-
spond to this appalling and will-
ful negligence, then you must
have missed basic supervisory
training. Donna should immedi-
atelybe givena longoverdue dis-
ciplinary warning. If she ever
knowingly transmits incorrect
informationagain, she shouldbe
fired.
If your boss has actually con-
doned her reckless disregard for
public safety, he is either a com-
plete idiot or a total wimp. Nev-
ertheless, you might as well give
him one more chance to do the
right thing.
For example: Even though
Donnas errors could make the
difference between life and
death, she shows no interest in
improving. As her supervisor, I
have a moral and ethical respon-
sibility to correct this problem,
so Implanning to give her a dis-
ciplinary warning. I assume you
will support me on this.
If your manager seems reluc-
tant, remind him that Donnas
incompetence could potentially
cause all three of you to wind up
in court. Should he still refuse to
cooperate, find someone in hu-
man resources or higher man-
agement who will back you up.
Goingover your bosss headmay
be risky, but doing nothing is a
much greater risk, for both you
and the general public.

Deliberate negligence must be handled

greedy and see the boom that
was experienced between 2004
and 2007. Hed be satisfied get-
ting back to the normal times,
with the home building num-
bers that were seen in the late
1990s and the first half of the
last decade.
For that to happen, Peterson
said consumer confidence
needs to rise.
Thats something Arnold said
could take years, not months.
And that means business for
homebuilders might never re-
turn to levels they once were ac-
customed to.
That level where they turned
down projects that werent prof-
itable enough, or had so many
phone calls it took you a week to
return them, or when a builder
said no thank you to a smaller
project or one that was anhours
drive away.
I dont know if it will ever
come back to that point where I
have so many (projects) that I
can pick and choose, Arnold
said.
Builders cited two chief rea-
sons for the diminishing confi-
dence in their business: Rising
costs of buildingmaterials, such
as shingles, copper and vinyl
siding and competition from
foreclosures and properties at
risk of foreclosure, which sell at
an average 20 percent discount.
Arnold said materials
havent gone backwards in
price. He noted fuel costs, in-
surance and electricity also
have risen.
Its become a product thats
become almost unaffordable,
Arnold said.
Tim Donahue, a housing con-
sultant in Fine Line Homes Ha-
zleton office, declined to release
specific housing construction
numbers for his company but
said the number of homes built
in 2010 was 60 percent below
the number the company built
in 2006.
He said Fine Line, unlike oth-
er companies, has not begun do-
ing smaller jobs or additions
(unless theyre on Fine Line
built homes). Instead it has just
built fewer homes. Andwill con-
tinue todosofor some time, Do-
nahue said.
Until the housing market and
economy rebound, which he
said doesnt seem likely this
year.
Bob Hutchins, owner of Cen-
tennial Homes in Long Pond,
said his business is for sale be-
cause of the poor building envi-
ronment. The 23-year-old busi-
ness is struggling like its com-
petitors.
Things are slow, Hutchins
said when asked to give precise
numbers of homes built last
year relative to 2006. Lets just
leave it at that.

hosting a presentation by the Pennsylvania Builders Association to
address changes made to the states building code. The presentation
will focus on such topics as fire sprinklers, the new requirement for
fire floor protection, new log home energy requirements, the 2009
wall bracing requirements, as well as when the 2012 codes will be
adopted.
This presentation is designed to provide participants with the essen-
tial information on the code changes in a short period of time as the
presentation is tailored to less than one hour with a Q&A period at
the end, said Danielle Policare, executive officer of the BIA.
Registration is required with a fee of $20 for association members
and $35 for non-members. To register, call 287-3331.
BIA OF NEPA TO MEET
testifying to Congress this
month urging the country to
spur its own production.
At stake isnt just the ability to
make a better cellphone (tiny
magnets make for tiny speak-
ers) or a sharper television pic-
ture (the phosphor red in
screens comes from europium).
The elements are critical to oil
refineries and cutting-edge
medical care. And rare earths
play a growing role in making
our modern military more mod-
ern.
Without rare earths, satellite-
guided bombs would weigh
three times as much. A hybrid
motor contemplated for a new
class of naval destroyer would
be in jeopardy. Night-vision gog-
gles would go dark.
Some in Congress have sug-
gested the countrys national se-
curity is threatened if supplies
run too short.
Still, rare earths are often
found mixed with other ores,
and its rare to find concentra-
tions that make mining profit-
able.
The story of the deposits in
southeast Nebraska dates back
perhaps 500 million years, when
underground volcanic activity
spilled lava into subterranean
pathways. That magma cooled
quickly and left an unusual de-
posit of carbonatites laced with
rare earths.
Some 50 years ago, state geol-
ogists surveying southeast Ne-
braska found two oddities
around Elk Creek. The rocks
were more magnetic than most,
and were denser.
Those findings drew the at-
tention of mining company Mo-
lycorp Minerals in the late1970s
and early 1980s. It drilled holes
across the landscape and pulled
out 90,000 feet of core samples.
A few decades later, a high-
tech boom vaulted prices for
rare earths upward. Canadian
company Quantum Rare Earth
Developments came looking at
the core samples and reams of
data left behind by Molycorp.
Joeckel, the Nebraska geologist,
had stockpiled it all for safe-
keeping.
The new method is a greener
process that uses far fewer
chemicals and less water while
shaving the cost of extracting
the minerals from mined rock.
The company expects to crank
up operations in 2012 and pro-
duce up to 40,000 tons a year.

STAGGERING HOME
Some companies have staggered
boards, where only a portion of
directors stand for election each
year. These companies tend to
have lower market values than
those without staggered boards.
The question for economists is
whether staggered boards drag
down a companys value, or
whether low-value companies
tend to like the setup. Research-
ers from Harvard, Stanford and
Tel Aviv universities looked at
changes following court decisions
that allowed staggered boards,
and those that barred them. The
verdict: Staggered boards pull
down value. They deter rivals
from making takeover attempts.
SWINGING WILDLY
The S&P 500 dropped 1.4 per-
cent on June 10. If it had hap-
pened in 1964, it would have
been the worst one-day loss of
the year. But because it hap-
pened in 2011, it wasnt even the
biggest of the month. Such 1
percent daily swings, both up
and down, are occurring more of-
ten. Since the start of 2010,
theyve happened at a rate of 66
times a year. In the 1960s, it hap-
pened just 23 times a year. Too
bad the volatility doesnt offer
much in terms of useful cues.
S&P Equity Research found that
a spike in frequency of 1 percent
days doesnt necessarily predict
an upcoming correction or a rally.
VOLATILITY IN THAILAND
Investors again are selling Thai stocks, worried about political unrest.
The country has seen 18 military coups in the last century, most recently
in 2006. This time, the market is nervous about upcoming July 3 elec-
tions. The iShares MSCI Thailand ETF (THD) dropped 13 percent be-
tween April 29 and Wednesday, more than double the S&P 500s fall.
But financial analysts are saying
it again shouldnt matter to inves-
tors. Citi analyst Suchart
Techaposa calls the drop a buy-
ing opportunity and points to past
rebounds after political clashes.
Most recently, in the spring of
2010, more than 90 people died
during anti-government protests.
The THD fell 14 percent between
April 7, when the country de-
clared a state of emergency, and
May 20. But it has since climbed
more than 40 percent. Source: S&P Equity Research

besieged Suvarnabhumi interna-
tional airport.
Brian Jacobsen, chief portfolio
strategist at Wells Fargo Funds
Management, says investing in
commodities can be a fools game
for individual investors. He explains
why most people should stay away
from raw materials, and shares his
outlook for the stock market.
How should in-
vestors handle
commodities?
Over a persons
lifetime, his or
her exposure to
commodities
should be zero.
That doesnt
mean that, at
certain periods of
time, you
shouldnt be long
them (buying
them) or short them (betting against
them). But that can be a fools
game trying to time that. Thats why
if you are trying to get exposure to
commodities, I really dont think it
pays to buy a commodity and just
hold it in perpetuity.
Why is that?
Theres a huge carrying cost. Youd
probably be further off getting expo-
sure to a company that is involved in
the extraction or production of that
particular commodity as opposed to
the commodity itself. I know that
commodities are very popular with
investors, but sometimes I think you
can find much better opportunities.
Lets say if you want to own gold,
why not own a gold miner than
might pay a dividend? Gold doesnt
pay a dividend.
Thats surprising, though, to say
people should have no com-
modity holdings over the long
term.
Its almost like its become the con-
ventional wisdom that commodities
should make up 5 to 10 percent of
your portfolio. And I disagree with
that. Maybe at certain periods they
should. But if you look at all com-
modity prices from say the 1800s to
the present, the average annual re-
turn was -1.5 percent. Now there
have been periods of time, like 10
years, when theyve gone up dra-
matically. So there are these very
long cycles that they tend to follow.
But, as far as just a buy-and-hold
strategy in commodities, I dont
think its going to pay off.
So most individual investors
would be wise to stay away?
Either stay away, or go through
some sort of actively managed ap-
proach. Hire a professional to do it,
because just holding, lets say, an
(exchanged-traded fund) with expo-
sure to gold or exposure to agricul-
tural materials or something like
that, its probably a pretty expensive
way to try to get exposure to that.
Looking at the stock market, do
you expect the recent volatility to
continue?
It is something that I expect, at
least through the balance of the
summer. We are going to continue
to have some of these major up
and down days, which is going to
be somewhat unnerving for espe-
cially your retail investors. Be-
cause they look at their balance of
their portfolio, and theyre like oh
jeez, it suddenly dropped by 2
percent or whatever. The thing that
I think individual investors need to
keep in mind is keep that long term
perspective. This is daily volatility.
What really matters is their ability
to reach their investment goals.
Some of the short-term volatility
could actually provide them with
some opportunities to reallocate
their portfolios to get in line with
those long-term goals.
So what should individuals be
doing when the markets are hav-
ing these big swings?
When markets are choppy, but they
seem kind of directionless like
theyre not going up, theyre not go-
ing down, but its just up and down
a lot it can actually be useful to
aggressively rebalance your portfo-
lio. Most individual investors, they
take a look at their portfolio maybe
once a year, they revisit their 401(k)
options maybe once every five
years. Maybe when they first get a
job they look at it, then they think
about at it as they get closer to re-
tirement. But, in this environment,
they could look at maybe going
quarterly or even monthly of just
making sure their asset allocation is
correct for them.
Dont buy
commodities

InsiderQ&A
The weeks when companies re-
port their earnings can be a tense
time for investors. The upcoming
earnings season will be particularly
anxiety-provoking.
The economy has slowed during
the second quarter. Manufacturing
growth, the job market and home
prices have been disappointing. That
has made stocks volatile since they
hit a 2011 high at the end of April.
The S&P 500 is down 6 percent.
But financial analysts are predict-
ing that earnings for S&P 500 com-
panies rose 14 percent during the
quarter. That would be the sixth
straight quarter in which they grew
more than 10 percent. One reason
that companies are doing well:
Theyre not hiring many workers.
That keeps their costs down.
Analysts are focused on how
much business companies are bring-
ing in. What we really want to see
over the next few quarters is revenue
growth, says Eric Thorne, senior
vice president with Bryn Mawr Trust
Wealth Management. This quarter,
he may get it. Analysts expect that
revenue for companies in the S&P
500 rose 10 percent, the most since
the first quarter of 2010. Overseas
demand has helped, especially for
raw materials producers and equip-
ment makers.
Early signals on earnings from
companies have been mixed. Fertil-
izer producer Agrium gave a sneak
preview of its second-quarter results
last week. It said record crop prices
have sent sales higher. The compa-
ny said its on track to report profit
growth of as much as 38 percent.
But oil and gas driller Nabors warned
the same day that its second-quarter
results would be lower than it expect-
ed. Its offshore U.S. business and its
other units havent met forecasts.
Stan Choe Kristen Girard AP SOURCE: FactSet Data through June 22
If earnings reports go as analysts predict, look for the best growth to come from energy companies and
materials producers. These companies do a lot of business overseas. Dow Chemical, for example, got 64
percent of its revenue last quarter from outside North America.

Transportation stocks are chugging away.
The Dow Jones Transportation index has climbed back up 3 percent
after falling more than 8 percent from its May 11 high of 5,527.50. Airline,
railroad and trucking stocks are likely to keep rising. And theyre cheaper
now than they were in the spring.
Railroad company earnings are up: Norfolk Southerns first-quarter
profit rose 26 percent from a year earlier. Norfolk said it was hauling more
of everything from coal to retail goods. Airline analysts expect this
summer to be a good one for carriers, who are charging passengers
more to offset higher fuel costs. And FedEx said last week that rising
demand and prices pushed its fourth-quarter net income up by 33
percent.
So how does an investor decide what transportation stock to buy?
One way is to look for value. Some of the cheapest and best-known
transportation stocks are below. This screen shows the companies in the
transportation index with the lowest price-to-earnings ratio. P/E ratio is
one way to measure whether a companys stock is trading in line with
what its worth. In spite of Norfolk Southerns strong earnings and
optimistic forecasts, its the cheapest of the transports, with a P/E ratio of
about 16.

Treasury yields plunge
Government bond prices rose to their highest level of
the year this past week as investors sought out safer
places to put their money. That sent Treasury yields
plunging. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note,
which moves opposite its price, dipped to 2.86 per-
cent from 2.95 percent a week earlier. Mortgage
rates remain at their lowest levels in nearly a year.
The rate on a 30-year loan is 4.50 percent.

REPRESENTATIVES
shall be apportioned
among the several states
according to their re-
spective numbers .
the Constitution of the
United States of America
While that may sound
somewhat academic, reapportioning 435
congressional districts across 50 states
often becomes a battle royale in state legis-
latures where the configuration of congres-
sional seats is decided.
Regions within states try to maintain
their representation and bolster their con-
gressional clout by redrawing congression-
al boundaries to protect and shift sitting
and would be members of Congress nearer
their own turf. Competing areas strive to
do the same.
Ten years ago during the reapportion-
ment process of 2001, Northeastern Penn-
sylvania had to confront just such an as-
sault on our congressional standing. At
that time the Commonwealth had to re-
duce its number of congressional seats
from 21 to 19 and many from larger metro-
politan areas thought our 11th district
(anchored in the Wyoming Valley) ought to
be pulled southward, weighting its votes
toward Berks and Dauphin Counties, the
suburbs of Reading and the City of Harris-
burg.
Had we capitulated, our congressional
representative would never again have
hailed from this area.
Thanks to a determined bipartisan re-
sponse in the state Legislature, and strong
support from local media, that plan was
defeated and we maintained the integrity
and location of Pennsylvanias 10th and 11th
congressional districts.
Today there are whispers of a similar plot
being hatched against Northeastern Penn-
sylvania in the reapportionment process of
2011. While blueprints are sketchy and a
final map will not be revealed until later
this year, one scenario is generating a lot of
buzz.
Get out your map.
The purported scheme calls for the 10th
district (Tom Marino) to lean westward
relinquishing all of its municipalities in
Lackawanna, Luzerne, Montour, Pike,
Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming coun-
ties. Shifting west and south, the 10th
would acquire all of Tioga, Mifflin, Juniata
and Perry counties including parts of Dau-
phin and Cumberland counties.
This subterfuge also has the 11th district
(Lou Barletta) shedding all of Carbon and
Lackawanna counties, including the City of
Scranton, and some municipalities in Mon-
roe County to pick up the counties of Mon-
tour, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne and
Wyoming.
If this contrivance were ever adopted,
the 10th district (McDade-Sherwood-Car-
ney-Marino), which now includes part of
Lackawanna County and touches on New
Jersey, would be moved toward central
Pennsylvania, and on its southern border
be one county removed from the state of
Maryland. The 11th district (Flood-Musto-
Nelligan-Harrison-Kanjorski-Barletta)
would become primarily a rural district
having less in common with the more pop-
ulated county of Luzerne.
Worse, the 17th district, which stretches
from Schuylkill County south through the
suburbs of Reading to Dauphin County and
the City of Harrisburg, would give up sec-
tions of Perry, Dauphin and Lebanon Coun-
ties, to annex Carbon County and parts of
Monroe, to reach the City of Scranton and
grab all of Lackawanna County.
Such a plan would be devastating to
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Should this intrigue receive even the
slightest consideration our state legislators
must join in a strong bipartisan response to
kill it, quickly.
Furthermore, Congressmen Marino and
Barletta should denounce any plan that
would so slice and dice our two congres-
sional districts and the important role each
plays in the economic future of our region.
I hope this is just an apparition and that
Ive ruined your breakfast, needlessly.
After all, who among us would concoct a
scheme that slides the 10th district away
from Northeastern Pennsylvania to a new
center of gravity in Williamsport and Ly-
coming County; that increases by 50 thou-
sand Republican votes the GOP registra-
tion in a chopped-up 11th district; and that
maliciously abandons Lackawanna County
in its entirety?

PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES use
their formal announce-
ments to introduce
themselves to Amer-
ican voters. Many do
so in their hometowns:
Bill Clinton in Little
Rock, Bob Dole in Russell, Kan., and, in
a fewweeks, Rep. Michele Bachmann in
Waterloo, Iowa.
Others, though, seek to create an
image they want to place before the
voters. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt
Romney recently declared his candidacy
on a NewHampshire farmwith a sharp
attack on President Barack Obamas
stewardship of the American economy.
On Tuesday, former Utah Gov. Jon
Huntsman sought to present himself as
a political heir of the GOPs greatest
modern hero, Ronald Reagan. Hunts-
man, whose first political job was in the
Reagan White House, announced his
candidacy at Liberty State Park, N.J.,
across from the Statue of Liberty.
Reagan launched his 1980 general
election campaign there, and Huntsman
underscored the point Tuesday: I stand
in his shadowas well as the shadowof
this magnificent monument to our
liberties.
Beyond the setting, however, the
most significant part of Huntsmans
announcement may have been its no-
ticeably less harshly partisan tone. He
vowed a high-road campaign and
neither mentioned Obama by name nor
blamed himfor the countrys problems.
I respect my fellowRepublican candi-
dates, and I respect the president of the
United States, he said. He and I have a
difference of opinion on howto help the
country we both love.
Its questionable howthat will play in
a GOP filled with sharp antagonism
toward Obama and his policies. And
many Republicans may be unhappy with
the two years the little-known Hunts-
man spent as Obamas ambassador to
China.
Indeed, some top Obama aides say,
Huntsman indicated he supported some
of the presidents most controversial
policies.
Last week, David Axelrod asserted on
CNNs State of the Union that, in a
2009 conversation, Huntsman was effu-
sive about what the president was
doing on health care and on the whole
range of issues. The Huntsman camp
called that absurd.
But in an earlier letter published by
The Daily Caller, a conservative website,
Huntsman called Obama a remarkable
leader.
As for that moderate image, it stems
mostly from his manner and his support
for same-sex civil unions. In other areas,
Huntsman mirrors his GOP rivals con-
servative stances.
He said he would have voted for the
controversial House GOP budget phas-
ing out Medicare. Like former Minneso-
ta Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Huntsman has
backed away from past support for cap-
ping greenhouse gas pollution.
One possible plus is his foreign policy
experience. Besides serving in China, he
was ambassador to Singapore for the
first President Bush and deputy trade
representative under the second. Hunts-
man drew a subtle difference Tuesday
with calls by Romney and Bachmann to
withdrawas soon as possible from Af-
ghanistan, saying we must manage the
end of these conflicts without repeating
past mistakes.
As for campaign strategy, Huntsman
already made it clear he will target early
primaries in NewHampshire, South
Carolina and Florida. His headquarters
is in his wifes home state of Florida. His
crucial test will be NewHampshire,
where polls showRomney well ahead.
Huntsmans strategists have made
one risky decision by deciding to pass
up the Iowa caucuses. Though dom-
inated by social conservatives, enough
mainstreamconservatives may partici-
pate to boost a more moderate candi-
date for NewHampshire.
By opting out, Huntsman risks the
chance that beneficiary will be Romney,
who is bypassing the GOPs August
Iowa strawpoll but apparently will
make some effort in the Hawkeye State.

starts shaping
his GOP image

bureau chief of the Dallas Morning News.

CHICAGO Republicans
hope voters fears about jobs
and the economy will help
them reclaim a handful of
Mountain West and Southern
states that were crucial to Ba-
rack Obamas 2008 presiden-
tial win.
Obamas campaign appears just
as determined to hold those states
next year and force Republicans to
spendprecious resources defending
places theyd like to consider safe.
Every four years, political oper-
atives fixate on the dozen or so
states that always decide close pres-
idential elections.
This time, Obama hopes to play
on as big an Electoral College map
as possible, and his team insists it
will compete for the first time intra-
ditionally solid Republican states
like Georgia and Arizona. Republi-
cans, conversely, want a compact
map, hoping for wins in big, always-
contestedstates suchas Florida and
Ohio, which were key to George W.
Bushs victories in 2000 and 2004.
It takes 270 electoral votes to win
the White House.
Obama won it in 2008 partly by
prevailing in states such as Virginia
and Indiana that had not voted for a
Democratic presidential nominee
in decades.
But with unemployment now at
9.1 percent, and the economic re-
covery slowed, many Republicans
argue that Obamas chances are no-
tably worse in those states, as well
as others in the vote-rich, econom-
ically struggling Midwest. They say
they can win some, if not all, of
three crucial battleground states
Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania
along with some smaller states that
Obama carried, including New
Mexico, Nevada and Iowa. Republi-
cans thrivedinall those states inthe
2010 midterm elections, and GOP
strategists hope the momentum
will carry into next year, thwarting
Obama.
The map is very difficult for
him, said Rick Wiley, political di-
rector of the Republican National
Committee.
Obamas campaign sees it differ-
ently.
We are going to take the old map
and expand it, Obama campaign
manager Jim Messina said in an in-
terview at his office in Chicago. He
argues that demographic trends are
moving in Democrats direction in
several states, which could help
them hold Virginia and North Car-
olina and possibly win Georgia and
Arizona.
Changes in the composition of
the electorate make the states at-
tractive, said David Axelrod, Oba-
mas top political adviser.

WASHINGTON Last October,
the Obama administration an-
nounced plans to install solar panels
on the roof of the White House by the
spring of this year, returning the pow-
er of the sun to the pinnacle of promi-
nence a quarter-century after Jimmy
Carters pioneering systemwas taken
down.

Some of the districts are not
going to survive.
Anthony Perrone
The Greater Nanticoke Area superintendent
warned that school districts must make severe cuts
in response to the loss of state and federal funding.
The GNA School Board adopted a budget Thursday night that includes
cuts to arts, music and elementary physical education; the furlough of
11 teachers; and the elimination of 11 positions in family programs.
ONE OF MY earliest me-
mories of revulsion against
war came from seeing a
photograph from the First
World War when I was a
teenager. It was a picture of
a military officer talking to
a puzzled peasant woman.
He said simply: Dont you understand,
madam? The village is not there any more.
To many such people of that era, the
village was the only world they knew. And
to say that it had been destroyed in the
carnage of war was to say that there was no
way for them to go back home, that their
whole world was gone.
Recently that image came back, in a
wholly different context, while seeing pic-
tures of American seniors carrying signs
that read Hands off my Social Security
and Hands off my Medicare.
They want their Social Security and their
Medicare to stay the way they are -- and
their anger is directed against those who
want to change the financial arrangements
that pay for these benefits.
Their anger should be directed instead
against those politicians who were irrespon-
sible enough to set up these costly pro-
grams without putting aside enough money
to pay for the promises that were made --
promises that now cannot be kept, regard-
less of which political party controls the
government.
Someone needs to say to those who want
Social Security and Medicare to continue
on unchanged: Dont you understand? The
money is not there any more.
Many retired people remember the mon-
ey that was taken out of their paychecks for
years and feel that they are now entitled to
receive Social Security benefits as a right.
But the way Social Security was set up was
so financially shaky that anyone who set up
a similar retirement scheme in the private
sector could be sent to federal prison for
fraud.
But you cant send a whole Congress to
prison, however much they may deserve it.
This is not some newly discovered prob-
lem. Innumerable economists and others
pointed out decades ago that Social Securi-
ty was unsustainable in the long run, in-
cluding yours truly on Meet the Press in
1981.
But the long run doesnt count for most
politicians, since elections are held in the
short run. Politicians election prospects are
enhanced, the more goodies they can prom-
ise and the less taxes they collect to pay for
them.
That is why welfare states in Europe as
well as here are facing bitter public protests
as the chickens come home to roost.
It has been said innumerable times that
nobody already on Social Security will lose
their benefits. But it needs to be spelled out
emphatically, so that political demagogues
will not be able to scare retired seniors that
they are going to have the rug pulled out
from under them.
Retired seniors have the least to fear from
a reform of Social Security, since neither
political party is about to take away what
these retirees already have and are relying
on.
Despite irresponsible political ads show-
ing an old lady in a wheel chair being
dumped over a cliff, the people who are
really in danger of being dumped over a cliff
are the younger generation, who are paying
into Social Security but are unlikely to get
back anything like what they are paying in.
The money that young workers are pay-
ing into Social Security today is not being
put aside to pay for their retirement. It is
being spent today, paying the pensions of
the retired generation -- and it cant even
cover that in the years ahead.
What needs to be done is to allow young-
er workers a choice of staying out of a sys-
tem that is simply running out of money.
Since the law does not allow private pen-
sion plans to be set up in the financially
irresponsible way Social Security is, that is
where young peoples money should be put,
if they ever want to see that money again
when they reach retirement age.
Im sorry seniors, the moneys just not there anymore

COMMENTARY
T H O M A S S O W E L L
IN A COUNTRY where
some corporations do not
pay taxes, millionaires get
farm subsidies and a presi-
dential candidate can run
up a half-million-dollar tab
at Tiffanys, were deferring
an attempt to answer one of our most en-
during questions: Are we alone in the uni-
verse?
Certainly we dont cotton to the idea of
being alone. We yearn for the big signal
from the stars, the cosmic hail. We thrill to
Contact and District 9 and play video
games featuring tentacled aliens. We tune
in when Carl Sagan and Timothy Ferris
explain outer space on TV.
Yet were surprisingly unwilling to put
our money where our imaginations want to
roam.
News that the Allen Telescope Array is
hibernating a curiously biological term
for shutting down 42 radio telescopes de-
signed to listen for signs of life from other
worlds raises questions about our commit-
ment to the search for extraterrestrial in-
telligence. For now, the phone is off the
hook as it was in 1994 when Sen. Richard
Bryan, D-Nev., derided NASAs Martian
chase and successfully shut down its SETI
Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
program. It would cost each U.S. taxpayer
just 3 cents a year to fund the Allen array,
according to SETI Institute Senior Astrono-
mer Seth Shostak. But in this political envi-
ronment, direct taxpayer support is un-
likely, so the SETI Institute is trying to raise
$5 million.
Donors such as Microsofts Paul Allen
stepped up after NASAs project died. In
fact, SETIs best hope may be the private
sector. Privately financed astronomy is
nothing new. In the 18th and 19th centuries
such work was in part spurred by interest in
alien life.
Its an interest that, despite present bud-
get tribulations, runs deep. We can trace the
idea of an infinite universe full of other
worlds to pre-Socratics like Democritus.
This view was marginalized by more fa-
mous philosophers, such as Aristotle, and
later, by a church fearful of anything that
threatened the notion of a unique God-
Earth relationship. But by the Victorian era,
there were serious discussions not only
about a lively universe, but about whether
Christ might have to be endlessly rein-
carnated on a plurality of worlds.
That thorny issue eventually faded from
view and new takes on the question of cos-
mic life emerged, such as whether there
were canals on Mars. Arguably, the first
organized SETI took place in the 1920s
when astronomer David Todd persuaded
the U.S. military to observe radio silence
across North America while he and others
listened to the Red Planet. More famously,
pioneering radio astronomer Frank Drake
turned a big dish in West Virginia toward
the stars in 1960. SETI has continued, in fits
and starts, ever since.
Still, while the public imagines a universe
of star cruisers and galactic cyber webs,
budget-cutting bureaucrats find even partial
grants for SETI an easy target. So its time
for more Paul Allens Carnegies of the
cosmos to step into the void left by the
cuts. And theres not a moment to waste.
NASAs Kepler space telescope has identi-
fied some 1,200 potential planets outside
our solar system dozens of which will be
the size of Earth. Some of those could sus-
tain liquid water.
Its a big leap from puddles to technologi-
cal civilizations, but if we dont look, well
never know if the leaps been made. And
only penny-pinching solipsists with stream-
ing video could be happy in such cosmic
ignorance.
Despite budget cuts, we cant give up on the cosmos

S
PARE US the public
figures who deny cor-
ruption charges, pro-
claim eagerness to be
heard by a jury of their peers,
then reject the judgment of
those peers.
Spare us the A.J. Munchaks
and Robert Cordaros of the
world.
Both men expressed sur-
prise that a jury found them
guilty on multiple charges.
Former Lackawanna County
Commissioner Cordaro
thought it incon-
ceivable jurors
would trust the
word of two other
witnesses over his
own.
They believed
Don Kalina and Al
Hughes over A.J.
and I, and Imreal-
ly shocked by that fact, he
said.
Munchak a Lackawanna
County Commissioner until
his resignation Wednesday
was confoundedtothepoint of
contradiction.
I believe in the jury system,
but I just cant believe that
theyd believe him over me.
Pre-trial, Munchak and Cor-
daro embraced this method of
proving guilt or innocence
with gusto. Their confidence
bordered on cockiness.
Frankly, the inability to fore-
see the possibility of losing
speaks to their unfitness for
public office.
Their disbelief inthe verdict
after demanding a trial is, in
one way, worse than the arro-
gance of former Luzerne
County Judge Mark Ciavarel-
la. At least Ciavarella didnt re-
ject the jurys guilty ruling
(though he did appeal). Heck,
he bizarrely declared victory.
Munchak and Cordaro, by
contrast, spoke as thoughthey
felt a jury should have accept-
ed their every utterance as
The Word from
heaven itself.
The system is
imperfect. Inno-
cents are some-
times convicted;
guilty are some-
times set free.
But there is good
reason we abide
by the notion of presenting
our case to our equals and not
to some elite cadre of arbiters.
History is littered with the
abuses of such power. Public
trial by jury works better than
any other system the world
has tried.
Cordaro and Munchak have
ample opportunity to prove
the verdict wrong through ap-
peal. What they do not have is
any logical or moral basis to
question the jurys judgment
after insisting upon it.
Quite literally, they got
what they asked for.
OUR OPINION: CORRUPTION TRIAL
The jury system
fulfilled its job
The inability to
foresee the
possibility of losing
speaks to their
unfitness for public
office.

RESIDENT Obamas
highly anticipated an-
nouncement Wednes-
day night that U.S.
troop strength in Afghanistan
will return to pre-surge levels
within a year was welcome.
In a televised speech, Oba-
ma said 10,000 troops will
come home by December and
23,000 more will return by
next summer. A late 2009
surge of 30,000 soldiers raised
the troop level to about
100,000. The light of a secure
peace can be seen in the dis-
tance, he said.
Although Obamas military
commanders wanted a slower
pace of withdrawal, its doubt-
ful that most Americans
would have reacted negatively
had Obama announced an
even larger return of U.S.
troops for next month.
After more than 10 years of
soldiers coming home
maimed or in body bags, and
billions being spent to im-
prove the lives of Afghans and
Iraqis while this country falls
deeper into debt, Americans
are war weary. That fact has
beenquantifiedinmost recent
polls.
An ABC News/Washington
Post poll this month showed
54 percent of Americans no
longer think the war in Af-
ghanistan is worth fighting,
and 73 percent believe a sub-
stantial number of troops
should be brought home this
summer.
Such numbers have helped
fertilize bipartisanship that
other issues before Congress
can only dream of achieving.
The countrys antiwar moodis
further fueled by a larger con-
versation about the proper
U.S. role in other military op-
erations, including Libya.
Rep. Joe Heck(R., Nev.) has
introduced a bill to stop fund-
ing the Libya mission in 30
days. Noting the slaying of
Osama bin Laden and the
growth of health and educa-
tional opportunities for Af-
ghans, Sen. Bob Casey (D.,
Pa.) said its time to change
strategies and spend less on
the war. At a time of econom-
ic austerity in the U.S., the
$120 billion-per-year price tag
is unsustainable, he said.
Thats howmost Americans
feel, which is why Obama
could have been bolder. The
case that smaller troop with-
drawals will make a signifi-
cant difference even though
all U.S. troops are scheduled
to come home in 2014 is a very
difficult one to make, given
the evidence so far.

IS THE Libya
war legal?
Under the
1973 War
Powers Reso-
lution, it is
not. President
Obama has
exceeded the 90-day period to
receive retroactive authoriza-
tion from Congress.
But things are not so simple.
No president should accept
and no president from Nixon
on has accepted the constitu-
tionality of the WPR, passed
unilaterally by Congress over a
presidential veto. On the other
hand, every president should
have the constitutional de-
cency to get some congression-
al approval when he takes the
country to war.
The model for such constitu-
tional restraint is yes, Sen-
ator Obama George W. Bush.
Not once but twice (Afghan-
istan and then Iraq) did Bush
seek and receive congressional
authorization, as his father did
for the Gulf War. On Libya,
Obama did nothing of the sort.
He claimed exemption from
the WPR on the grounds that
America in Libya is not really
engaged in hostilities.
To deploy an excuse so trans-
parently ridiculous isnt just a
show of contempt for Congress
and for the intelligence of the
American people. It manages
to undermine the presidencys
own war-making prerogatives
by implicitly conceding that if
the Libya war really did involve
hostilities, the president would
indeed be subject to the WPR.
The worst of all possible
worlds: Insult Congress, weak-
en the presidency. A neat trick.
But the question of war-
making power is larger than
one presidents blundering. We
have a core constitutional
problem. In balancing war-
making power between Con-
gress and the presidency, the
Constitution grants Congress
the exclusive right to declare
war.
Problem is: No one declares
war anymore. Since World War
II, weve been involved in five
major wars, and many minor
engagements, without ever
declaring war.
But its not just us. No one
does. Declarations of war are a
relic of a more aristocratic era,
a time when, for example, an
American secretary of state
closed his departments code-
cracking office because gentle-
men do not read each others
mail.
The power to declare war
has become, through no fault
of anyone, archaic and obso-
lete.
We need, therefore, some
new way to fulfill the original
constitutional intent. The
WPR was a good try, but it
failed because it was the work
of Congress alone, which tried
to shove it down the throat of
the Executive, which, in turn,
for over three decades has
resisted it as an encroachment
on the inherent powers of the
commander in chief.
Moreover, the judiciary,
which under our system is the
ultimate arbiter of constitu-
tionality, has consistently re-
fused to adjudicate this politi-
cal question (to quote one
appellate court judge) and thus
resolve with finality the sep-
aration-of-powers dispute be-
tween the other two co-equal
branches.
We therefore need a new
constitutional understanding,
mutually agreed to by both
political branches, that trans-
lates the war-declaration power
into a more modern equivalent:
First, formalize the recent
tradition of resolutions (Gulf,
Afghanistan, Iraq) authorizing
the initiation of war and recog-
nize them as the functional
equivalent of a declaration of
war.
Second, establish special
procedures for operations
requiring immediacy and sur-
prise, for example, notification
of the House speaker, Senate
majority leader and their oppo-
sition counterparts, in secret if
necessary.
Third, in such cases, require
retroactive authorization by
the full Congress within an
agreed period but without
any further congressional in-
volvement. The Constitutions
original grant of power to
Congress was for a one-time
authorization, with no further
congressional constraint on
executive war-making except,
of course, through the power of
the purse.
The Libya adventure is too
much of a mess to expect mu-
tual agreement on this kind of
constitutional compromise
now. Nor is Obama, having
bollixed the war powers issue
in every possible way, the man
to negotiate this deal.
Resolution of this issue will
require time, dispassion and
therefore inevitably a commis-
sion.
Then submit the commis-
sions proposed new law for
approval by Congress and the
president.
We need a set of rules gov-
erning the legality of any fu-
ture war. This will allow us to
concentrate on the most im-
portant question: its wisdom.

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Aimee Dilger
and words by Mark Guydish
IN THE wan-
ing minutes of
last weeks
Republican
presidential
debate, Mitt
Romney was
opining about
Afghanistan when he uttered
something that, in past years,
would have been condemned by
virtually all Republicans as
dovish blasphemy.
He said: I also think weve
learned that our troops
shouldnt go off and try and
fight a war of independence for
another nation.
Its rare to hear a Republican
front-runner talking like a Viet-
nam peacenik circa 1969. In fact,
if you take what he said at face
value, he would have staunchly
opposed the war that George W.
Bush ginned up in Iraq. So what
the heck was going on here?
How could a mainstream Re-
publican say such a thing?
Romney stressed Tuesday
that he opposed a precipitous
U.S. withdrawal from Afghan-
istan, but he did not disown his
provocative remark. Thats be-
cause he is a finger-in-the-wind
kind of guy, and hes well-aware
that the prevailing winds have
shifted within the party. There
was a time when virtually all
Republicans embraced the haw-
kish credo of muscular interven-
tionism. But not anymore.
In a stunning Gallup poll last
month, 47 percent of Repub-
licans who responded favored
bringing the troops home from
Afghanistan. Romney was essen-
tially speaking to those people,
massaging their war weariness.
In other words, this is no longer
a unified party that yearns to
fight wars of liberation world-
wide. The neoconservatives are
still with us, of course, but now
theyre flanked by Republicans
who openly question the mis-
sion in Afghanistan, and who
question whether an open-end-
ed interventionist posture is
even affordable given our fiscal
woes.
This sentiment has been
building for a while. In March,
when Mississippi Gov. Haley
Barbour was weighing a presi-
dential bid, he floated this
thought: We can save money
on defense. ... What is our mis-
sion [in Afghanistan]? Is that a
100,000-man army mission?
Sen. Dick Lugar fretted this
month about massive open-
ended expenditures. Tea party
House Republicans have been
talking like antiwar Democrats,
demanding (as one GOP law-
maker put it) that troop pullouts
begin immediately, sooner
rather than later, because of the
deficit.
This week well have a new
Republican presidential candi-
date, ex-Utah Gov. Jon Hunts-
man Jr., and he sounds like a
flaming lefty on Afghanistan. He
recently told Esquire magazine:
If you cant define a winning
exit strategy for the American
people, where we somehow
come out ahead, then were
wasting our money, and were
wasting our strategic resources.
(Afghanistan) is a tribal state,
and it always will be. ... Should
we stay and play traffic cop? I
dont think that serves our stra-
tegic interests.
Huntsman and the other
Republican skeptics are un-
doubtedly sincere in their belief
that the 10-year war is a fiscal
sinkhole without foreseeable
prospects for success, that Af-
ghanistan is less pivotal now
that Osama bin Laden is dead,
and that our role as global po-
liceman is unsustainable. But
lets not kid ourselves; there is
also a whiff of political oppor-
tunism. Obama has owned this
war since he engineered his 09
troop surge. On the eve of the
12 election, assailing the war in
Afghanistan and tapping the
swing voters war weariness
gives the Republicans another
potential weapon against the
incumbent.
To the credit of the partys
beleaguered neoconservatives,
they have not been seeking any
political leverage against Oba-
ma. Quite the contrary. Its an
enduring irony that the presi-
dent, as commander-in-chief in
Afghanistan, is heavily depend-
ent on Republican support. The
neocons are still with him; their
anger is directed mainly at the
war-averse party brethren. Neo-
cons went berserk last week
when Romney attacked wars of
liberation; they sent e-mails
calling his comments a disas-
ter. And hawkish Sen. Lindsey
Graham even suggested that
Romney was a potential wimp
in the mold of Jimmy Carter. As
Republican insults go, thats
probably worse than being com-
pared to Anthony Weiner.
Heres the Graham quote:
From the partys point of view,
the biggest disaster would be to
let Barack Obama become Ro-
nald Reagan and our people
become Jimmy Carter. Indeed,
that, too, would be an enduring
irony: a Democratic presidents
prosecuting a difficult war, chas-
ing down terrorists worldwide,
sustaining a hawkish posture
despite pervasive war weariness
back home while the Repub-
licans, of all people, openly
question whether its strate-
gically and fiscally prudent to
keep playing world cop.
The mind reels. And the Re-
publican infighting on this issue
will be fierce.

Forces Academy Day at
Wyoming Valley West High
School in Plymouth on May 7.
My wife and I and our son
enjoyed the opportunity to
meet with you and your staff
to discuss the nomination
process as well as meeting
with all of the representatives
from the different armed
forces academies. It was very
clear to us that the time and
energy you and your staff put
into organizing the event
certainly demonstrated your
dedication to our country and
to all of the military branches
and the academies that were
represented.
All of the representatives of
the service branches were very
helpful and enthusiastic about
our decision to assist our son
in talking about his future and
the possibilities of entering
the Air Force Academy. I be-
lieve there are many young
men, such as my son, who
have a calling to serve our

commitment to the armed
forces of the United States.
Keep up the great work!

RiverFest has
great sojourn
I
would like to thank The
Times Leader for its week-
long, extensive and positive
coverage of the 2011 Wyoming
Valley RiverFest. I could not
think of a better way to cele-
brate National Rivers Month
than to continue our work of
reconnecting the Valley to the
Susquehanna River.
The 12th Annual RiverFest
was a huge success, with more
than 400 paddlers exploring
the river during our three
sojourns, 168 dragon boat
racers from eight teams of our
sponsors and more than 5,000
people at the festival in Nes-
bitt Park or the free concerts
on the River Common during
this three-day celebration of
the Susquehanna.
The Wyoming Valley River-
Fest continues to be planned,
developed and run by an out-
standing group of volunteers
and partnering organizations
that have once again given
their time to give back to the
community. Thanks to those
hardworking volunteers, we
were able to pull off this three-
day event without a glitch. I
am truly amazed at the efforts
of the volunteers and part-
nering organizations that met
and planned for more than six
months and gave up many
hours to make RiverFest the
success it has become.
I want to especially thank
all the corporations, busi-
nesses and community orga-
nizations that once again
supported RiverFest with
financial contributions; Mayor
Tom Leighton (who became
immersed in the river when
his dragon boat capsized dur-
ing the Sunday races); the
City of Wilkes-Barre; and
Luzerne County Commission-
ers Maryanne Petrilla, Ste-
phen Urban and Thomas Coo-
ney for their continued sup-
port of RiverFest. RiverFest
could not happen without
their generosity.
I am extremely grateful to
have such excellent and pro-
fessional river outfitters that
make putting 400 people on
the water over three days
seem easy, fun and safe. I also
want to thank the river rescue
teams and the Fish and Boat
Commission that helped out
with dragon boat racing, fam-
ily fishing and loan of the
floating docks.
Our exhibitors and educa-
tors help make RiverFest a
fun, interactive, educational
event for all ages. We had
everything from live skunks
and possums to solar-powered
electricity and free childrens
bike helmets under the large
tent. Educating our youths
and the public about the Sus-
quehanna River and the wa-
tershed is and always will be a
major component of River-
Fest. Each year we help create
new stewards of our envi-
ronment and watershed.
After talking about it and
planning for two years, we
finally were able to bring
dragon boat racing to the
Wyoming Valley and prove it
could be done here. Wilkes-
Barre will now join Philadel-
phia and Pittsburgh as dragon
boat racing sites and we will
begin to plan a larger Dragon
Boat Racing Festival for Sep-
tember 2012 at the River Com-
mon.
Just think, a small group of
committed volunteers, with
the help of community-mind-
ed sponsors has been able
grow RiverFest into a large
community event in such a
short period of time. Please
become a good steward of our
river and watershed, and we
hope you will join us on the
river or at one of the many
events planned for the River
Common this summer.

The day started with pour-
ing down rain at 5 a.m. The
church people were setting up
the food court and getting the
coffee pot ready. Some of the
crafters never made it to the
sale, but most braved the
storm.
Things got a lot better as
the day progressed. All of the
vendors said they would like
us to have another in the fall.
We are planning on doing so.
To all of you, thank you, thank
you, thank you.

6 quick steps to
balance budget
S
hort and sweet. You want
to balance the budget? You
only have to do six things:
1) Bring the troops home, 2)
Put the money we were using
for the wars back into the
economy, immediately, 3) Get
rid of all the pork in all the
bills at the local, state and
federal levels, 4) Outlaw any
form of lobbying, 5) Elect
someone who knows how to
balance a checkbook, and 6)
Last but not least, elect some-
one who knows enough to
stop spending when there is
no more money.

People can curb
Hazletons trash
H
allelujah! Finally -- a story
about the litter and trash
situation in Hazleton!
I live in the Heights, which
used to be a nice working
class neighborhood. Now it is
a fight to keep it from looking
like the neighborhoods I must
drive through in order to get
home.
One suggestion for the rest
of you who own a broom and
actually use it: take advantage
of the fact that Hazleton has a
Health Department and Code
Enforcement office.
You must put your com-
plaint in writing and sign it.
But that does not mean that
city officials will visit your
neighbor and say you did the
complaining.
For example, every year I
have neighbors with fenced-in
yards who eventually get
around to cutting their grass.
However, they completely
ignore the fact that they also
have grass outside the fence.
The ordinance in Hazleton is
that grass (or weeds, as the
case may be) cannot exceed 10
inches. With all the rain weve
had, this has not been difficult.
Turn them in to Mark
Thompson, our health officer,
who does a bang-up job when
he receives complaints.
Two other new neighbors
each got a dog but have no
yard. So they decided to use
the alley as their dogs bath-
room. But apparently their
mama never taught them that
when your dog poops, you
scoop. By the end of winter,
we had a biohazard situation
going on in this neighborhood,
until Mr. Thompson explained
to them that this is illegal.
Another one of my pet
peeves: tires left in yards,
propped against garages a
breeding ground for mosqui-
toes and also illegal.
Lest you think I am target-
ing the Hispanic community,
let me assure you that I am
not. But I was thrilled to see
the group, Latinos for a Clean
Hazleton.
I have white trash living
next door to me. They had to
be told on several occasions to
pick up after their dogs be-
cause the aroma was killing
the rest of us, particularly
during hot weather.
They havent picked up a
paint brush since they moved
here years ago, and when one
of their kids broke a window
on their house, they put card-
board in to replace it. The
door to their garage no longer
closes due to lack of mainte-
nance. And even though they
park in front of my house, they
would not bend down to pick
up a piece of litter if their lives
depended on it.
Even at city playgrounds,
there are plenty of trash cans
available (see Beech Street, in
particular.) Im happy to see
kids playing tennis and basket-
ball, and small children on the
rides. But what is the problem
with walking a few feet to put
your garbage in the can?
In a suburb of Cleveland
(not a gated community), they
do a yearly inspection of
homes and properties. In this
area of tree-lined streets are
older homes. Yet they care
enough about the appearance
of their town to do this on a
regular basis and then give
homeowners a certain period
of time to comply.
Whether you own the place
in which you live is irrelevant.
Where is the pride in ones
surroundings?
Unfortunately, Id be willing
to bet that the people who
need to read this article and
this letter dont bother reading
the newspaper at all.
So I urge you to report them
to the authorities until they
get the message. We are tired
of the pig sty our community
has become.

Wagner correct,
voter declares
I
am not a Democrat, but I
believe in giving credit
where credit is due. Penn-
sylvania Auditor General Jack
Wagner deserves credit for
speaking against the plans of
both his fellow Democrats and
Big Labor to spend the sup-
posed revenue surplus the
state is experiencing. Clearly,
Wagner recognizes that Ed
Rendell left the taxpayers with
a multi-billion dollar deficit,
and you dont spend any extra
money you might come into
when you owe billions in debt.
Wagner will certainly take
his lumps for his courageous
stand against his partys desire
to continue a plan of reckless
spending, particularly from
the labor unions that almost
exclusively support Democrats
for public office and that also
support spending the surplus.
I thought it important for him
to know that I believe he did
right by me and the taxpayers
of Pennsylvania, by denounc-
ing the Democrats plan to
spend this money. I appreciate
his support of the taxpayers,
even if just for this part of the
Republican plan to return our
state to financial solvency.

Drillers must be
more accountable
I am writing in opposition
to the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Environmental Protec-
tion Bureau of Oil and Gas
Management Director Scott
Perrys claim that he is proud
of DEPs work to hold drillers
accountable for water contam-
ination problems that they
have caused in Pennsylvania.
Its about enforcement,
Director Perry told a crowd at
Tunkhannock Area High
School in Wyoming County.
Its about penalizing oper-
ators that dont follow the
rules. Its about making them
own up to their problems.
The drilling companies have
contaminated groundwater in
nearby Dimock Township and
other communities, and I have
yet to see any of the aquifers
cleaned up. In fact, I have yet
to see any of the drilling com-
panies own up to their mis-
take.
The recent fines levied by
DEP that totaled around $2
million may seem like a lot,
but, to the drilling companies,
it is peanuts. It is cheaper to
pay the fines than it is to work
carefully and to not make
mistakes in the first place.
The whole industry is dri-
ven by short-term profit. The
only way to eliminate the
cavalier attitude toward the
environment is to make envi-
ronmental disasters so expen-
sive that the cost will far out-
weigh the excess profits gener-
ated by the actions that
caused the disasters in the
first place.
Anyone who contaminates
an aquifer should be forced to
clean it up. Cleanups are nei-
ther fast nor cheap, but they
can be and should be done. If
the cost bankrupts the compa-
ny, then so be it. That will
serve as an excellent example
to other drillers.
One of the most frequent
questions I hear is: Can an
aquifer contaminated by gas
drilling be cleaned up? I
would direct anyone who
thinks it cant to my FAQ page
on the Web at www.getur-
ner.com/FAQ.html.
I also feel that people who
poison someone elses water,
either deliberately or through
carelessness or negligence,
should have criminal charges
brought against them.

Pay attention to
home rule moves
G
ood suggestions were
offered earlier this month
to improve the job descrip-
tion for the executive to be
hired for Luzerne County.
These suggestions were voted
on as changes by the majority
of the transition team. I at-
tended the recent work ses-
sion of the personnel and
recruiting subcommittee and
spoke with Elizabeth Leo. I
commend her!
She stated to me: I want to
be part of the solution. I
agree. That is the same reason
I am a candidate for County
Council. Lets all stay alert for
the same purpose.
I believe one important
suggestion was overlooked.
Commissioner Stephen Urban
stated at a transition team
meeting to include as part of
the job description that the
County Executive will work
with the Controllers Office.
I firmly believe to eliminate
corruption in our county, the
newly hired Luzerne County
Executive must work with the
Luzerne County Controller.
The Controller will continue
to provide audits and impor-
tant suggestions to promote
efficiency with accountability.
It is an independent set of
eyes. The manager, controller
and council must work togeth-
er to stop corrupt practices.
I am concerned about the
rush by former members of
the Home Rule Study Com-
mission. These members were
not elected to hire the county
manager. They placed them-
selves with a majority vote on
the transition team. I hope the
intention is not another politi-
cal power grab.
I encourage the public to go
to the transition team meet-
ings and get involved. Fill the
room and be a part of this new
direction for the benefit of all
who live and work here. Give
public comment and contrib-
ute your thoughts about the
direction of these decisions
using your tax dollars.
Meetings are held the sec-
ond and fourth Wednesdays
each month at 6:30 p.m. in the
commissioners meeting room
of the Luzerne County Cour-
thouse, 200 N. River St.,

Immigration bill
called flawed
O
ur country needs serious
immigration reform.
There are literally millions
of people in this country ille-
gally.
When our economy is run-
ning at full speed, we dont
notice jobs being lost to an
illegal, underground work
force. When unemployment is
around 10 percent, it is far
more noticeable.
As such, U.S. Rep. Lamar
Smith, a Texas Republican,
recently proposed deeply
flawed immigration reform
legislation that I oppose.
This bill not only stabs both
the city of Hazleton and the
state of Arizona in the back, it
is an affront to states rights.
The Supreme Court has
upheld the constitutionality of
cooperative enforcement, with
the states and the federal
government working together
to restore the rule of law in
immigration. This bill snatch-
es defeat from the jaws of
victory and tells the states
that they can no longer take
meaningful action to go after
employers who knowingly
hire unauthorized illegal im-
migrants.
Our two NEPA Congress-
men, Lou Barletta and Tom
Marino, should oppose this
bill. To support it is to tie the
states hands, forcing them to
continue paying approximate-
ly $80 billion in fiscal costs
caused by illegal immigration.

Infrastructure
replacement costs
S
tate Rep. Phyllis Mundy
recognizes the need to do
more to improve utility
infrastructure, but she criticiz-
es legislation sponsored by
Rep. Bob Godshall to achieve
that goal without providing a
viable solution of her own.
The current process for
electric, natural gas and waste-
water utilities to recover the
cost of replacing infrastructure
discourages those invest-
ments. Filing a base rate pro-
ceeding at the Public Utility
Commission costs up to $2
million and takes almost a
year to complete.
Rep. Godshalls legislation,
House Bill 1294, addresses
this problem by authorizing
the PUC to approve alterna-
tive rate mechanisms that
would allow more timely
recovery of these costs.
The General Assembly
authorized an alternative rate
mechanism for water utilities
15 years ago, which became a
national model. The result has
been a substantial increase in
the replacement of old water
mains, a gradual recovery of
the costs as they are incurred
subject to PUC oversight and
very few customer complaints.
It would be good public
policy to extend tools such as
this to increase investment in
other types of critical utility
infrastructure, which would
enhance the reliability and
safety of utility service.
A growing number of other
states are doing so for exam-
ple, 19 states allow natural gas
utilities to recover the cost of
replacing aged gas mains
between rate cases.
If we want to stimulate
more investment to replace
aged infrastructure than we
are currently getting, we need
new policies. House Bill 1294
would achieve the desired
results.

W-B homeowner
laments new fee
T
he city has notified home-
owners yet again of the
sewer pipe coverage stat-
ing it is very pleased to im-
pose this new fee. If you
would like to pay mine you
may park on my sidewalk, If
not, please do not.
The fact is we are being
nickel and dimed out of own-
ing a home. Now that the
pipes are at a fragile age and
the sewer maintenance fee we
have paid for years has been
wasted, this is another forced
expense on us.
If the city was interested in
helping us, it would stop the
people from parking on side-
walks that are not built to
withstand the pressure of a
vehicle on them.

Declare freedom
from meat diet
E
very year on the Fourth of
July, Americans celebrate
their independence from
Colonial Britian. Many do so
by dining on the slain bodies
of factory-farmed animals who
have never known freedom or
had the opportunity to live out
their lives free from depriva-
tion and suffering.
In intensive agribusiness,
animals live miserable lives to
satisfy the tastes of flesh-
eating consumers.
As vegetarians, we object to
the unnecessary killing of
animals for food, but also to
the modern methods of rais-
ing them by the thousands in
huge confinement sheds
which causes severe physical
and psychological suffering.
A meat-centered diet also
contributes to world hunger,
because the feeding of protein
crops to animals is an ineffi-
cient use of food resources.
There are also issues of defor-
estation, heavy water usage,
and soil erosion.
As Americans become more
health conscious, many are
taking the advice of contem-
porary medical professionals
and holistic practioners who
advocate cessation of meat
consumption.
Humans can also become
immune to antibiotics since
the animals are injected with
them to combat the high
stress factor of intensive con-
finement. Eating barbecued
animals on the Fourth of July
violates the spirit of the holi-
day, which celebrates the
preservation of life and surviv-
al in the face of hardship.
Please consider the many
available and healthy alterna-
tives. Contact goveg.com

weeks later. But the missed dead-
line has left him downcast.
Nine months is a pretty long
time. You can have a baby in that
time, he said. On the list of
things that get done, this isnt all
that hard. It doesnt requireSEAL
Team 6. It just requires a good-
faith effort. You can just open the
Yellow Pages and get page after
page of solar installers.
Solar power advocates note
that rooftop arrays are no longer
the expensive odditytheywere in
Carters day. Depending on their
locations, homeowners can in-
stall systems that will pay for
themselves over time.
Administration officials coun-
ter that theWhiteHouseisnt just
any old home.
To be honest, I am not sur-
prised, said Danny Kennedy,
founder of Oakland, Calif., based
Sungevity Systems, who said the
delays likely due to the complex-
ity of such a project at the White
House. Theyre trying to get it
right on the most famous home
in the world, and thered be all
sorts of heritage rules and red
tape.
So when will the panels actual-
ly appear? The Energy Depart-
ment says its on the path to
completing the project. But de-
tails and timing can only be
shared after the competitive
procurement process is complet-
ed.
Despite the missed deadline,
officials maintain climate issues
and energy conservation have
been a top priority under Obama.
They point to higher gas-mileage
standards, green-tech incentives
in the stimulus plan and presi-
dential visits to wind turbine and
electric-vehicle battery plants.
One effort, dubbed the SunShot
Initiative, is a competition that
aims to slash the cost of solar
power and make it quicker, eas-
ier and cheaper to install.
But environmentalists look at
Obamas plans to boost offshore
oil drilling and the collapse of cli-
mate change legislation and say
the administrations record is
mixed. Especially for someone
whose convention acceptance
speech promised future genera-
tions wouldsee his tenure as the
moment when the rise of the
oceans began to slow and our
planet began to heal.
The record on solar power at
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue began
in June1979, when Carter had 32
panels installed at a cost of
$30,000 to provide hot water to
West Wing offices.
Carter knew his solar panels
were an experiment. A genera-
tion from now, this solar heater
can either be a curiosity, a mu-
seumpiece, an example of a road
not taken, or it can be just a small
part of one of the greatest and
most exciting adventures under-
taken by the American people,
he said.
His successor, Ronald Reagan,
was unimpressed. Aides had the
panels removed and shipped to
Unity College in Maine, where
some of them remain.
Carter wasnt the only presi-
dent to tap the suns energy. In
early 2003, without a big announ-
cement, George W. Bushs ad-
ministration had a modest sys-
tem installed on the roofs of sev-
eral maintenance buildings to
generate small amounts of power
for theWhiteHousecomplexand
heated water for the mansions
outdoor pool.
Obama, in his public pronoun-
cements, has aggressively pro-
moted solar power along with
windandbiofuels as ways of com-
batting global warming and
weaning America off its expen-
sive imported oil habit. Hes also
declared the federal government
should lead by example on so-
lar.
However, the administration
has long known there might be
federal contracting hurdles. To
accompany the White House pro-
ject announcement in October,
the Energy Department publish-
ed a handbook titled Procuring
Solar Energy: AGuidefor Federal
Facility Decision Makers. It ran
to 104 pages.

In June 21, 1979, President Jimmy Carter spoke against a back-
drop of solar panels at the White House. Last October, the Obama
administration announced plans to install solar panels on the roof
of the White House by the spring of this year. But spring has come
and gone, and the promised panels have yet to see the light of day.
olina and Virginia in 2008 thanks
largely to black voters, Latinos,
college-educated workers and
non-natives who are more open
to Democrats than are many
Southern-born whites. Those
population groups are expand-
ing in the two states, his backers
say. The same is true in Georgia,
a GOP-controlled state that
hasnt beenstronglycontestedin
many years.
Obama insiders say he could
have wonArizona in2008 if John
McCain, the states senior sen-
ator, had not been the GOPnom-
inee. They argue that withArizo-
nas Hispanic population still
growing, Obamas chances are
better this time because that
group leans toward Democrats.
Many Republicans scoff at
such talk. But they have their
own problems, starting with the
task of taking back most or all of
the nine swing-voting states that
Obama won in 2008 and that
Democrat John Kerry lost in
2004: Florida, North Carolina,
Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa,
Colorado, Nevada andNewMex-
ico.
There are a million different
maps, Wiley said. But the
GOPs priorities start with those
nine top tier states.
To oust Obama, the Republi-
cans dont need to win all nine.
If Obama keeps his grip on the
Western states of Nevada, Col-
orado and New Mexico, and the
Republican nominee wins the
other six of the nine swing
states, the GOP would reclaim
theWhiteHousewith271electo-
ral votes. Thats assuming other
states vote the same as in 2008.
Obamas situation becomes
more perilous if he loses a state
that Democrats have won for
several elections, although often
narrowly. That might include
Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wis-
consin, a state that Democrats
took by a whisker in 2000 and
2004. Obama handily won it in
2008.
Republican governors re-
placed Democrats last year in all
those states, along with Iowa,
New Mexico and Ohio.
In these battlegrounds with
newly elected Republican gover-
nors, Wiley said, you have that
infrastructure that doesnt get
dismantled, and its a huge, huge
advantage to the 2012 GOP
presidential nominee.
Not so, Democrats say.
New GOP governors such as
Scott Walker in Wisconsin, John
Kasich in Ohio and Rick Scott in
Florida have clashed bitterly
with various groups, especially
unions. The result could be a
fired-up Democratic base turn-
ing out heavily for Obama.
Top Democrats say its unlike-
ly that Obama will lose Pennsyl-
vania, which always draws huge
attention but has voted Demo-
cratic in the last five presidential
elections.
Privately, those close to Oba-
ma worry more about Ohio,
which has 18 electoral votes. Its
unemployment rate, 8.6 percent,
is slightly below the national av-
erage. But its population growth
is almost flat, and it doesnt have
the large numbers of unregis-
tered minorities and young
adults that the Obama campaign
is targeting in other states.
No Republican has been elect-
ed president without carrying
Ohio.
Of the nine targeted states
that Kerry lost, Obama needs to
hold only Ohio and one small
state say, Nevada or Iowa
to win re-election, assuming the
other states vote the same as in
2008.
Florida, with 29 electoral
votes, is even more vital.
If Obama holds no other state
but Florida among the top-tier
nine, he wins a second term.
Finally, several plausible map
scenarios would leave the 2012
presidential nominees in a 269-
269 electoral tie. That would
hand the decision to the U.S.
House, where Republicans ex-
pect to hold their majority even
if they suffer some losses.

most famous is in the Rockies

has needs a sword, a shield
and roughly 56 chicken breasts a
week. Thats what Jason Momoa
ate while filming Conan the Bar-
barian, this summers big-screen
reboot of the series that launched
Arnold Schwarzeneggers action
movie career in 1982.
Over a few months in 2010,
Momoa, a 6-foot-4-inch Hawaiian
actor and model, added about 30
pounds of muscle to his 205-
pound frame to play two high-
profile, bare-chested plunderers
Conan and Khal Drogo, the 7-
foot-tall warrior-king marauding
on HBOs Game of Thrones.
Momoa isnt the only actor
whose T-shirts have gotten a lot
tighter recently: Dwayne John-
sonpacked30 pounds onto his al-
ready brawny 6-foot-4-inch frame
to grapple as a lawman opposite
meaty Vin Diesel in Fast Five.
Chris Hemsworth gained so
much bulk to wield Thors gi-
ant, magic hammer convincingly
that his costume didnt fit. And
Chris Evans added plenty of pa-
triotic sinew for Captain Amer-
ica: The First Avenger.
These massive menof summer
are a shift from seasons past,
when slight actors such as Tobey
Maguire and Orlando Bloom
populated the franchise movies
andwalkingmountains likeJohn-
son were encouraged to winnow
their physiques to get parts.
Some of this muscling up of sum-
mers heroes is driven by comic-
book aesthetics and some, aca-
demics say, by cyclical notions of
masculinity: In times when men
are losing financial or societal
power, biceps the circumference
of tree trunks are proof of virility.
In addition to grueling work-
outs and meticulous nutrition, a
number of celluloid hunks bene-
fit from digital embellishments
that make them appear even
larger inmarketing materials like

neglanceat thechoir loft insideSt. Nicholas Church
in Wilkes-Barre and you see a row of pipes. That
could lead you, quite reasonably, to believe the
church has an old-fashioned pipe organ.
But it doesnt. At least not yet.
Those gleaming metal relics are a facade, remnants of a
pipe organ that was replaced in1980 with an electronic mod-
el that, quite frankly, has seen better days.
Imagine if you had a 31-year-old computer, said organist
Ed Loch, who has been playing the 1980 model for almost a
quarter century. This type is not made anymore. It was one
of the first computerized models. Its always needing re-
pairs, and its parts are obsolete.
In a classic case of buyers re-
morse, the late Monsignor Jo-
seph Meier would often say to
me they were so sorry they
bought it, said Monsignor Jo-
seph Rauscher, who succeeded
Meier as church pastor.
For music-lovers, Loch said,
the electronic organ even be-
fore it started breaking down
was at best a CD, while a real
pipe organ is a live Philhar-
monic concert. It can be a
good representation of a great
sound, but a pipe organ is the
great sound.
Now were going for the
great sound, he said happily.
St. Nicholas parish is mak-
ing arrangements and devot-
ing about $250,000 of a
$750,000 capital campaign to

Steve Sykes, right, and his assistant, Jon Strack, are dismantling the organ from St. Casimir Church in Pittston and will be transporting and
reassembling it at St. Nicholas Church in Wilkes-Barre.
Steve Sykes carefully lines the pipes from
each rank, or group, in the organ from St.
Casimir Church.
The Moller Organ from St. Casimir Church in
Pittston has a sign proclaiming it was manu-
factured in 1921 in Hagerstown, Md.
This space, a few ladder steps above the
choir-loft floor, already has most of its
pipes removed. The holes show where they
stood for years.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Relationships call for you
to give before you get.
Pave the relationship road
with some good will, and
this relationship is likely
to be longer, as well as
more fulfilling and useful,
than if you took another
approach.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You made a promise to
take action. Although
you didnt exactly say the
words, they were implied
in your behavior toward
someone. Now youll be
asked to make good on
that promise.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Mozart was composing
music when he was 4.
But the early composi-
tions arent the ones
being played by musicians
everywhere more than
200 years later. Greatness
takes time. Be patient with
yourself.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You will employ effective
rationalizations. You will
give yourself a pep talk
when youre down and
calm yourself when you
get overly caught up in the
moment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youre
breaking into new realms
and could really use a
coach. There are behav-
iors that are expected, but
you have to know what
they are to know how to
execute them.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Youre extremely prescient
lately. You often think
about what you and loved
ones will be doing in a few
years. Youll act in a way
that will spring those ideas
to life.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Listen with an open mind
to criticism, but dont
allow someone to demean
you or your work. Place
a high value on any and
every effort youve made.
Youre getting better all
the time.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
If you didnt make the
impression you wanted
to make on someone, you
can reverse this. You are a
magician of positive pur-
pose. Your attitude will win
people over even people
who were once skeptical.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). There will be some
frustration in the way
the days events unfold.
Consider that this might
be just the opportunity
you need to perfect your
manner of coping with
stress. Youre getting bet-
ter every day.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Your purpose neednt
be lofty to be great. To
create a beautiful garden,
nurture children or pro-
mote harmony by giving a
smile to everyone you see
these are purposes that
will make a better world.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Youre living proof that
you dont have to use
mystical words or refer to
eye of newt, wing of bat
to cast a spell over some-
one. You enchant by just
being you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Share your vision of the
future, and youll inspire
others. Your loved ones
dont need to be managed
so much as led. They will
do what is appropriate,
useful and honorable as
long as they know where
they are headed.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (June
26). You have an eye for
beauty and will surround
yourself with it this year.
Though social acceptance
isnt as important to you
as it is to some people,
youll still enjoy being
embraced and applauded
in July. Theres a financial
breakthrough in August.
Loving words will be
exchanged in September.
You share a special con-
nection with Libra and
Aquarius people. Your
lucky numbers are: 9, 1, 35,
38 and 15.

DEAR ABBY
Wedding ritual deserves
a good riddance
Dear Abby:
Im writing
you about
a disgust-
ing, rude
and, in my
opinion, ob-
scene habit the bride and
groom shoving wedding cake
in each others faces. The
couple are all dressed up in
their beautiful finery. They
have a wonderful ceremony
and a perfect reception table.
How rude and insensitive to
the person he or she has just
promised before God to love,
honor and cherish not to
mention disrespectful.
What do you think of this
custom, and do you agree
with me?
Faithful Little Rock
Reader
Dear Faithful: I do agree
with you. The cake-in-the-
face custom should have
been retired at least 50 years
ago. The significance of the
ritual is extremely demean-
ing to women.
According to the book
Curious Customs by Tad
Tuleja (Stonesong Press,
1987): The cake-cutting at
modern weddings is a four-
step comedic ritual that sus-
tains masculine prerogatives
in the very act of supposedly
subverting them.
... in the first step of the
comedy, the groom helps
direct the brides hand a
symbolic demonstration
of male control that was
unnecessary in the days of
more tractable women. She
accepts this gesture and, as a
further proof of submissive-
ness, performs the second
step of the ritual, offering
him the first bite of cake, the
gustatory equivalent of her
body, which he will have the
right to partake of later.
In the third step, the
master-servant relationship
is temporarily upset, as the
bride mischievously pushes
the cake into her new hus-
bands face. ... Significantly,
this act of revolt is per-
formed in a childish fashion,
and the groom is able to
endure it without losing face
because it ironically dem-
onstrates his superiority:
His bride is an imp needing
supervision.
That the bride herself
accepts this view of this is
demonstrated in the rituals
final step, in which she
wipes the goo apologetically
from his face. This brings the
play back to the beginning,
as she is once again obedient
to his wiser judgment. Thus,
the entire tableau may be
seen as a dramatization of
the tensions in favor of the
dominance of the male.
