As the most tenured
member of the Pennsylva-
nia congressional dele-
gation, U.S. Rep. Tim
Holden has seniority that
hes touting as a major
asset.
But will it matter to
voters in Tuesdays pri-
mary tasked with selecting
Holden or his Democratic
challenger Matt Cart-
wright as the partys nomi-
nee in the 17th Congres-
sional District?
Area political science

but likely wont.
This type of subject
tends to not be well under-
stood

At one time, several amusement
parks were within a short drive for
Wyoming Valley residents. Now it takes
an hour or several depending on the
destination to reach a roller-coaster
ride, and the local parks are just memo-
ries.
Local enthusiasts and historians are
working to make sure those memories
of days spent at Angela Park in south-
ern Luzerne County, Hansons Amuse-
ment Park in Harveys Lake and others
are preserved.
Jim Fichter, of Drums, has mint con-
dition memorabilia from Angela Park
that he sells to those looking to hold on
to a piece of history.
Robert Savakinus, Gary Looker and F.
Charles Petrillo preserve memories
with photos, presentations and websites
where fellow fun-seeking fanatics can
share their memories.

The life expectancy of men in
Luzerne County is slowly catch-
ing up to women, a new study
shows.
The latest life expectancy esti-
mates by county, released by the
Seattle-basedInstitute for Health
Metrics and Evaluation, reveal
that meninLuzerneCountylived
an average of 3.2 years longer in
2009 than they did in1989 73.8
years compared to 70.6. years.
In the same time span, female
life expectancy here increased by
1.9 years from 78.1 years to 80
years.
Nationwide, womens life
spans are improving at a much
slower pace than mens. And in
hundreds of counties, women are
living shorter lives today than
they didtwodecades ago, accord-
ing to the new county-by-county
estimates.
Its tragic that in a country as
wealthy as the United States, and
with all the medical expertise we
have, that so many girls will live
shorter lives thantheir mothers,

institutes U.S. County Perform-

the Democratic voters of
the 11th Congressional
District nominate a candi-
date who lives outside the
district, or one who has
produced results as an
activist and travels with a
giant replica pink pig?
On policy, Bill Vinsko, a
37-year-old lawyer from
Wilkes-Barre, and Gene
Stilp, 61, of Middle Paxton
Township, Dauphin Coun-
ty, arent far apart.
The two Democrats will
battle Tuesday for the
Democratic nomination
and the right to challenge
freshman U.S. Rep. Lou
Barletta in the November
General Election. Barletta
has no primary battle.
Barletta won the seat in
2010, defeating 13-term
Democratic incumbent
Paul Kanjorski in a district
that at the time was over-
whelmingly Democratic in
registrations. He is un-
opposed on the Republican
ballot.
The 11th District has
been redrawn, bringing the
Democratic advantage
down to just one percent
44 percent are Democrats

Drillers petitions denied
A judge Friday denied petitions
from representatives of the gas drill-
ing industry and legislators to in-
tervene in a legal challenge of the
new Act 13 gas drilling legislation.
Senior Commonwealth Court
Judge Keith Quigley ruled the indus-
try and the legislators were already
being adequately represented by the
state attorney general and in docu-
ments created during the passage of
the law.
The challenge to Act 13 was
brought by the Delaware Riverkeep-
er Network and seven municipalities,
claiming the law violates the state
and United States constitutions and
endangers public health, natural
resources, communities and the
environment.
Sen. Joseph Scarnati, R-Jefferson
County, president pro tempore of the
Senate, and Rep. Samuel Smith,
R-Jefferson County, speaker of the
House, petitioned to intervene. In-
dustry representatives seeking to
intervene include the Pennsylvania
Independent Oil & Gas Association,
the Marcellus Shale Coalition, Merk-
West Liberty Midstream & Re-
sources, Penneco Oil Co. and Chesa-
peake Appalachia.

WILKES-BARRE The Libertarians
threw a party Saturday and everybody
was invited.
The Pennsylvania Libertarian Party
hosteda Restoring Freedoms rally at the
F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre Sat-
urday with the aim of finding common
ground among diverse political groups.
This is not about party, this is about
principle, state Libertarian Chairman
Lou Jasikoff said. As much as possible,
we want to educate people about the
Constitution The whole idea of it was
to bring diverse groups of people togeth-
er and get back to the principles of the
Constitution.
Though primarily a Libertarian gath-
ering, the rally also included members
of both major parties, the Green Party
and the NEPA Tea Party.
Former Green Party candidate for
U.S. Senate Carl Romanelli, of Wilkes-
Barre, said third-party candidates
should focus on their common points,
particularly the systematic discrimina-
tion they face in running for office. ARe-
publican or Democrat running for office
in Pennsylvania needs only 2,000 signa-
tures to appear on the ballot in a state-
wide race, while a third-party candidate
needs10 times that number or more, Ro-
manelli said.
Dont allow your convictions to an
idea keep you from doing what is truth-
ful and what is right, Romanelli said.
We need to come together; we need to
do whats right and we dont have to
think alike to do so.
There are a number of cynics among
us that tell us that there is no political
solution; that we are too far gone, he
added. I strongly and sincerely dis-
agree If you had committed people all
aroundyoucouldturnit aroundina hur-
ryOur thirdparties are not the alterna-
tive; we are the imperative.
Libertarians believe in paring down
government power to only the authority
granted by the U.S. Constitution and
Declaration of Independence.
Rupert Boneham, Libertarian candi-
date for governor of Indiana and a three-
time contestant on the television game
show Survivor, said, When our gov-
ernment starts believing theyre our rul-
ers and not our employees, we have a
problem.

WILKES-BARRE An elderly wom-
an found shot to death in the parking
lot of a downtown nursing home was
the victim of a murder-suicide, acting
Luzerne County Coroner Bill Lisman
said Saturday morning.
Wilkes-Barre police on Friday night
found 82-year-old Mildred Welebob, a
resident of St. Lukes Villa, in a wheel-
chair behind a vehicle in a parking lot
at the rear of the facilitys parking lot
on East Northampton Street. Lisman
said she died of a single gunshot
wound, with the cause of death ruled
homicide.
A short time later Welebobs hus-
band, Chester Welebob of Wilkes-Barre
Township, was found dead inside his
car in Wilkes-Barre Township, Lisman
said. He was pronounced dead of a sin-
gle gun shot wound at 12:15 a.m. Sat-
urday, Lisman said, with the cause of
death ruled suicide.
Lisman said the investigation into
both deaths is closed as far as his office
is concerned.
Its just a sad situation here, he
said.
Police said detectives are handling
the investigation but did not release
any information about the investigation
Saturday.
Luzerne County District Attorney
Stefanie Salavantis said her office has
been in touch with Wilkes-Barre police
but is not involved in the investigation
at this time.
At this point its in the hands of the
police department, Salavantis said.
Being that we know that its an appar-
ent murder/suicide, unless needed, I
dont want to devote more resources to
it than we need right now.
She said police are continuing to in-
terview witnesses and others.
When you have two individuals that
are now deceased, you dont take this
lightly, even though it appears to be a
murder-suicide, she said. I really
think, sadly, it was a murder-suicide,
and theres not much more thats going
to come from it.
A worker at St. Lukes Villa said no
one there Saturday could speak about
the incident because the police investi-
gation is ongoing. Executive Director
Andrew B. Durako did not respond to
an email sent Saturday.
St. Lukes Villa, formerly known as
Heritage House, was taken over by the
Diocese of Scranton in 2011. It provides
long-term nursing care as well as apart-
ment housing for older adults.
Diocese of Scranton communications
director Bill Genello said the diocese is
continuing to cooperate fully with all
civil authorities investigating the mat-
ter.
In expressing his personal sorrow
and concern, the Most Rev. Joseph C.
Bambera, D.D., J.C.L., Bishop of Scran-
ton, requests the faithful of the Diocese
to join him in praying for the peace and
comfort of all affected by this incident,
Genello said in a statement.

WILKES-BARRE Frank Kearney,
founder of the Jenni Sunshine Founda-
tion Inc., walked along the entrance to
Route 309 North just off Route 315 Sat-
urday, picking up trash to beautify the
roadway.
To Kearney and his brother Joe, this
wasnt simply a task of placing garbage
tossed from cars into garbage bags, but
rather a commitment to improve the
WyomingValley andmore recently, oth-
er areas of our country.
Although this highway cleanup in
honor of Earth Day was staffed by only
two volunteers at 10 a.m., Kearney an-
ticipated other volunteers would join
them throughout the day.
We have seen slow but sure growth
within the organization in the two years
since its founding. Last year we had a
core of about 20 volunteers that assist-
ed us in various events, and we look for-
ward to that number growing, he said.
Although the foundations mission
statement states it focuses on bringing
the arts to children through culture,
symbolism, and expression, Kearney
emphasizes the foundation is willing to
assist the community in various ways.
He said he is open to fielding ideas from
residents regarding community activ-
ities and to accepting financial support
from area individuals and businesses.
Kearney smiled broadly when he
spoke of providing bicycles to young-
sters living at the Kirby Family House
during the Christmas season.
Many of the families that received
one said that it was more then simply a
present for a child, but a symbol of hope
for the future, said Kearney.
The foundation also participates in
other events such as Riverfest and the
Chalk Festival, which take place at the

NAACPs annual barbeque dinner fun-
draiser at the corner of Hill Street and
Wilkes-Barre Boulevard on Saturday.
The event was sponsored by the Tyre
Square Club of Wilkes-Barre, which
provided the crowds with open-pit din-
ners of ribs, chicken and a tempting se-
lection of homemade sides of collard
greens and macaroni and cheese.
Proceeds from the days events will
benefit the ongoing day-to-day oper-

such as this will help us move the mess-

NAACP officials thanked the mem-

Train collision injures 50
T
wo busy passenger trains collided
head-on near an Amsterdam park
Saturday, injuring scores of people
including more than 50 seriously, a
police spokesman said.
National Police Corps spokesman Ed
Kraszewski told Amsterdam local news
network AT5 that some 70 people had
minor injuries and 51 were seriously
or very seriously injured. He said the
victims sustained broken bones and
neck injuries.
Fleets of ambulances ferried injured
away from the scene.
AT5 posted photos on its website
showing two trains that appeared to
have collided head-on. Both trains were
still on the rails and the double-decker
intercity train sustained damage near
some doors close to the impact.
SANDY, UTAH
Republicans deny Hatch
Utah Republicans denied U.S. Sen.
Orrin Hatch a clear path to a seventh
and final term Saturday, forcing the
78-year-old lawmaker into a June pri-
mary with 37-year-old former state
Sen. Dan Liljenquist. Hatch fell short
of the nomination by fewer than three
dozen votes from the nearly 4,000
delegates at the party convention.
In a matter of weeks, Hatch turned
the question of whether he would sur-
vive the convention into a question of
whether he would reach the 60 percent
threshold to earn the nomination.
Despite the setback, Hatch holds a
significant fundraising edge in what
has become the stiffest challenge since
his election to the Senate in 1976. The
eventual Republican nominee will be
the heavy favorite in November be-
cause of the GOP dominance in Utah.
SANAA, YEMEN
Military regains key city
Yemens military regained part of a
strategic southern city on Saturday
after an intense battle with al-Qaida
militants left 19 people dead as the
government tries to purge the insur-
gents from their strongholds, officials
said.
The battle in Zinjibar is part of at-
tempts by the Yemeni government to
regain parts of the country it lost to
al-Qaida militants who took advantage
of last years chaotic uprising against
longtime ruler Ali Abdullah Saleh to
seize new ground.
Military and medical officials said
that 12 militants and seven troops died
and nearly 30 militants were injured
during the battle with Yemeni forces,
who took control of the eastern part of
Zinjibar.
ISLAMABAD
Airline head cant leave
Pakistan on Saturday barred the
head of the airline whose jet crashed
near the capital from leaving the coun-
try, vowing to investigate a tragedy
that has revived fears about the safety
of aviation in a country saddled by
massive economic problems.
The Bhoja Air passenger jet crashed
Friday evening as it tried to land in a
thunderstorm at Islamabads main
airport, killing all 127 people on board.
The second major air disaster close to
the capital in less than two years, the
crash triggered fresh criticism of an
already embattled government, which
faced questions over why it gave a
license to the tiny airline just last
month.
Sobbing relatives of those who died
flocked to a hospital in Islamabad to
collect the remains of their loved ones.

Got milk? Got a protest!
Indian milkmen from Delhi and parts
of Uttar Pradesh state pour milk on
themselves during a protest in New
Delhi, India, Saturday. The milkmen
were protesting against the decision
of milk products producing companies
to reduce the purchasing price of milk
and demanded a minimum support
price for milk procurement.
WASHINGTONHe was
described as the evil genius of
the Nixon administration, and
spent the better part of a year in
prison for a Watergate-related
conviction. His proclamations
following his release that he was a
newman, redeemed by his reli-
gious faith, were met with more
than skepticismby those angered
at the abuses he had perpetrated
as one of Nixons hatchet men.
But Charles Chuck Colson
became known perhaps just as
much for his efforts to minister to
prison inmates during the next
35 years as for his infamy with
Watergate.
Colson died Saturday at age
80. His death was confirmed by
JimLiske, chief executive of the
Lansdowne, Va.-based Prison
Fellowship Ministries that Col-
son founded. Liske said the pre-
liminary cause of death was
complications frombrain surgery
Colson had at the end of March.
He underwent the surgery to
remove a clot after becoming ill
March 30 while speaking at a
conference.
Colson once famously said hed
walk over his grandmother to get
the president elected to a second
term. In1972 The Washington
Post called himone of the most
powerful presidential aides,
variously described as a trouble-
shooter and as a master of dirty
tricks.
I shudder to think of what Id
been if I had not gone to prison,
Colson said in1993. Lying on
the rotten floor of a cell, you
knowits not prosperity or plea-
sure thats important, but the
maturing of the soul.
He helped run the Committee
to Re-elect the President when it
set up an effort to gather in-
telligence on the Democratic
Party. The arrest of CREEPs
security director, James W.
McCord, and four other men
burglarizing the Democratic
National Committee offices in
1972 set off the scandal that led
to Nixons resignation in August
1974.
But actions preceding the
Watergate break-in resulted in
Colsons criminal conviction.
Colson pleaded guilty to efforts
to discredit Pentagon analyst
Daniel Ellsberg, who had leaked
the secret Defense Department
study of Vietnamthat became
known as the Pentagon Papers.
Those efforts were revealed
during the Watergate investiga-
tion and became an element in
the ongoing scandal.

BEIRUT Five unarmed U.N. truce
monitors toured the battered city at the
heart of the Syrian uprising on foot Sat-
urday, encountering unusually calm
streets after weeks of shelling as a throng
of residents clamored for foreign military
help to oust President Bashar Assad.
Their foray into a chaotic crowd in the
city of Homs highlighted the risks faced
by the observers, protected only by
bright blue helmets and bulletproof
vests. It came as the U.N. Security Coun-
cil voted Saturday to expand the mission
to 300 members in hopes of salvaging an
international peace plan marred by con-
tinued fighting between the military and
opposition rebels.
The observers, members of an eight-
member advance team that has been on
the grounda week, were seenonamateur
video Saturday walking through rubble-
strewn deserted streets lined by gutted
apartment buildings. Activists reported
only sporadic gunfire, but no shelling,
and said troops had pulled armored vehi-
cles off the streets. Two observers stayed
behind in Homs to keep monitoring the
city, after the rest of the team left Satur-
day evening.
The mission approved Saturday, ini-
tially for 90 days, is meant to shore up a
cease-fire that officially took effect 10
days ago, but has failed to halt violence.
U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon has accused As-
sad of violating the truce, and said Sat-
urday that the gross violations of the
fundamental rights of the Syrian people
must stop at once. Rebel fighters have
also kept up attacks.
Its the first time the Security Council
authorized unarmed U.N. military ob-
servers to go into a conflict area. Satur-
days resolution gave Ban the final say on
when to deploy them, based on his as-
sessment of the situation.
A previous observer team, dispatched
by the Arab League at the start of the
year, withdrew after a month, unable to
halt the fighting.

WASHINGTON The U.S.
Army has investigated 56 sol-
diers in Afghanistan on suspicion
of using or distributing heroin,
morphineor other opiates during
2010 and 2011, newly obtained
data shows. Eight soldiers diedof
drug overdoses during that time.
Whilethecases represent just a
slice of possible drug use by U.S.
troops in Afghanistan, they pro-
vide a somber snapshot of the il-
licit trade in the war zone: young
Afghans peddling heroin, sol-
diers dyingafter mixingcocktails
of opiates, troops stealing from
medical bags, Afghan soldiers
and police dealing drugs to their
U.S. comrades.
In a country awash with poppy
fields that provide up to 90 per-
cent of the worlds opium, the
U.S. military struggles to keep an
eye on its far-flung troops and
monitor for substance abuse.
U.S. Army officials say that
while the presence of such read-
ily available opium, the raw in-
gredient for heroin, is a concern,
opiate abuse has not been a per-
vasive problem for troops in Af-
ghanistan.
We have seen sporadic cases
of it, but we do not see it as a
widespread problem, and we
have the means to check, said
Col. Tom Collins, an Army
spokesman.
The data represents only the
criminal investigations done by
Army Criminal Investigation
Command involving soldiers in
Afghanistan during those two
years. The cases, therefore, are
just a piece of the broader drug
use statistics released by the Ar-
my this year reporting nearly
70,000 drug offenses by roughly
36,000 soldiers between 2006-
2011. The number of offenses in-
creased from about 9,400 in 2010
to about 11,200 in 2011.
The overdose totals for the two
years, however, are double the
number that the Defense Depart-
ment has reported as drug-relat-
ed deaths in Afghanistan for the
past decade.

WASHINGTONAn infusion of hun-
dreds of billions of dollars will give the In-
ternational Monetary Fund a badly need-
ed boost to tackle Europes prolonged
debt crisis. But global finance officials
sent a strong message Saturday that
struggling governments must speed re-
forms or risk spooking jittery markets
and raising the economic danger.
The lending agency said in a statement
after its weekend meetings that financial-
ly-strapped European countries must put
inplaceboldchanges toresolvetheir debt
problems. The IMF received $430 billion
in pledges from individual countries,
nearly doubling the agencys reserves
available for loans to almost $1 trillion.
It is nice to have a big umbrella, Ma-
nagingDirector ChristineLagardesaidat
a news conference. Sheandother officials
said the new money should reassure fi-
nancial markets troubled recently by the
prospect that Spain could come next to
the IMF for emergency loans to escape a
default.
The 188-nation IMF, working with Eu-
ropean governments, has provided res-
cue programs already for Greece, Portu-
gal and Ireland. Spain, however, is much
bigger economy and would require much
more financial assistance were it unable
to sell its government debt to private in-
vestors.
The IMFs policy committees state-
ment said it was important for European
countries to commit to bold reforms and
put them into practice.

mortality data by age, sex, and
county for the U.S. from 1989 to
2009. Across U.S. counties, life
expectancy in 2009 ranged from
66.1 to 81.6 years for men and
73.5 to 86.0 years for women.
From 1989 to 2009, life expec-
tancy for men nationally im-
proved by 4.6 years on average
but only by 2.7 years for women.
And throughout the country,
women were more likely than
mentohavenoprogress inlifeex-
pectancy or to have their life
spans get shorter over time.
In661counties, life expectancy
stagnated or regressed for wom-
en since 1999. By comparison,
life expectancy for men stopped
or reversed in 166 counties. This
trend is occurring in 84 percent
of counties in Oklahoma, 58 per-
cent of Tennessee counties, and
33 percent of Georgia counties.
The gap between women liv-
ingthelongest lives andthoseliv-
ing the shortest lives is growing,
too. In Collier County, Fla., wom-
en live 85.8 years on average. In
McDowell, W.Va., they live to be
74.1.
Thats an11.7-year gap. In1989,
the gap was 8.7 years. For men,
the gap is larger 15.5 years but
it has grown by less than a year
since 1989.
Men live the longest in Marin
County, Calif., at 81.6 years. They
live the shortest lives on average
in Quitman and Tunica counties,
Miss., at 66.1.
Bottom tier for Luzerne
In Pennsylvania, Luzerne
County ranks among the lowest
of all 67 counties for life expec-
tancy. In 2009, Luzerne County
ranked third from last for mens
longevity at 73.8 years the same
rankingit hadin2007 andninth
from last for womens longevity
at 80 years up a notch from an
eighth the last ranking in 2007.
The Pennsylvania county
where people lived longest in
2009 was Pike County, where
menlivedto be 78.3, andwomen,
83 years old on average. Ranked
worst was Philadelphia, where
the average ages of death were
70.9 for menand78.6 for women.
Dr. Daniel Flynn, associate
dean for Research and Economic
Development at The Common-
wealth Medical College in Scran-
ton, has said that access to health
care and health insurance and an
individuals ability to pay for it
or the lack thereof could be a
factor in Luzerne Countys rela-
tively low rankings.
When shown the institutes life
expectancy study for 2007 last
year, Flynn had said one might
predict life expectancy would be
lower in Luzerne County if life
expectancy is linked to per capita
income. He said per capita in-
come in Wilkes-Barre is 62 per-
cent of the U.S. average.
When people are living at or
below the poverty line, it could
limit their access to health care,
according to Flynn.
The range of life expectancies
nationally is so broad that in
some counties, such as Stearns
County, Minn., life spans rival
some of the places where people
live the longest Japan, Hong
Kong and France while in other
counties, life expectancies are
lower than places that spend far
less on health care Egypt, Indo-
nesia and Colombia.
Disparities in same state
Even within states, there are
large disparities. Women in Fair-
fax County, Va., have among the
best life expectancies in the
world at 84.1 years, while in Sus-
sexCounty, Va., they have among
the worst at 75.9 years.
At the same time, the life ex-
pectancy gap between black
Americans and white Americans
is closing. In 1989, black men
could expect to live to be 63.8 on
average, while white men had an
average life span of 72.5, a differ-
ence of 8.7 years. In 2009, black
malelifeexpectancyimprovedby
nearly a decade to 71.2 years, and
white male life expectancy im-
proved at a slower rate to 76.7
years, a 5.5-year gap.
The gap between black women
andwhite womenis evennarrow-
er: 3.6 years. Black women on av-
erage in 2009 had a life expectan-
cy of 77.9 years, compared to 81.5
years for white women.
The institutes research shows
that the biggest drivers of health
disparities nationwide are pre-
ventable causes of death, includ-
ing tobacco, high cholesterol,
high blood pressure, obesity and
alcohol.
The institute found that a
larger percentage of women than
men had inadequately treated
high blood pressure and high
cholesterol.
Researchers also found an esti-
mated 54,000 womens lives
could be saved annually by sim-
ply reducing salt consumption.

HARRISBURG Gov. Tom
Corbett and his administration
havent produced an example of
whathemeantwhenhesaidsome
Pennsylvania precincts have vot-
edat over100percent, but com-
plaints by the state Republican
Party about voting in Philadel-
phia suggest he may be right.
Its not clear, however, whether
that was fraud.
The Philadelphia city commis-
sioners, whooverseetheadminis-
tration of elections in Philadel-
phia, are investigating the state
GOPs complaints that a number
of city divisions in last years pri-
mary election somehowreported
more ballots cast on electronic
voting machines than voters who
signedin.
Corbett, aRepublican, usedthe
100 percent-plus argument sever-
al times in the days leading up to
his March14signingof one of the
nations toughest voter identifica-
tion laws, but neither he nor his
administration have backed up
his statement with a specific ex-
ample.
That, to me, demonstrates
that something happened, where
there was fraud that took place,
he tolda Pennsylvania Cable Net-
work interviewer on March 12.
Twodayslater, inapublicceremo-
nytosignthelaw, herepeatedthe
claim, saying, howdoesthathap-
pen?
The state Republican Party
broughtthecomplaintstothePhi-
ladelphia city commissioners in
Marchafter similar complaints in
recent years that a prior slate of
commissioners haddismissedbe-
causeof questionsabout theaccu-
racy of the data, said Joseph De-
Felice, the Philadelphia director
for the state RepublicanParty.
Thenewlyelectedchairwoman
of the Philadelphia city commis-
sioners, Stephanie Singer, said
Thursday that shes concerned
about thephenomenon, but isnot
readytosaywhether fraudactual-
ly occurred.
It needs to be investigated,
she said, and the same analysis
should be run ... in other coun-
ties.

Being smart about money isnt
always easy. Staying smart about
money canbe evenmore of a chal-
lenge, according to organizers at
the Osterhout Free Library.
On Saturday, the library
opened Money Smart Week
with the help of bankers, credit
union representatives and gov-
ernment agencies by hosting a
Financial Literacy Information
Fair, which focused on saving
money.
Lois Miller, a representative
from the First National Commu-
nity Bank basedinDunmore, said
due to recent banking issues,
many have become a little skittish
about consulting with the finan-
cial institutions. She emphasized
money is not better under the
mattress.
A bank is a safe place to put
your money, she told the group.
Miller discussed the upcoming
changes in government payment
processinginwhichSocial Securi-
ty checks, veterans benefits
checks and government entitle-
ment checks will be direct depos-
ited starting in March of 2013. Re-
cipients who arent aware of how
to utilize direct deposit services
are encouraged to start inquiring
now, Miller said.
Many of the elderly may not
know about how this works, she
pointed out.
In addition, Miller was availa-
bletocoachelementary-agedchil-
dren on how to save money. She
acts as a bankingambassador in
local schools trying to get the
message out to local children and
their families about savingmoney
andhowit helps themintheir dai-
ly lives.
I try to make themunderstand
the ramifications of overspend-
ing, she said. If they dont learn
at an early age how to manage
money, it dominoes into their lat-
er years, she added.
Elaine Stefanko, coordinator of
information services for the li-
brary, said this weeks focus on fi-
nances is a part of a nationwide
push to help people manage their
money, which helps the overall
economy. The public library sys-
temfacilitates the process by pro-
viding the venues for educational
seminarslikethisweeks, shesaid.
The Osterhout is the first one in
Pennsylvania to do so, she added.
The library is a good place be-
cause it is a relaxed environment,
Stefanko said. Miller agreed, add-
ing people might be less inclined
to ask questions at their bank,
while they are very comfortable
doing so in the library.
Stefanko also said the librarys
network of partners, which in-
clude the Area Agency on Aging,
Pennsylvanias CareerLink,
AARP and others, are willing to
attend events there and help an-
swer questions.
Joanne Austin, supervisor for
the librarys North Branch, said
similar meetings are scheduled
there.
Financial literacyapplies toev-
ery aspect of life, Austin said.
On Wednesday, Wilkes Univer-
sitys Money Matters Club will
present ways to save for college,
and on Saturday, saving money
through couponing will be dis-
cussed.

NANTICOKE Local resi-
dents yearn to know more about
their roots, according to mem-
bers of the Northeast Pennsylva-
nia Genealogical Society.
On Saturday, they held their
first Family History Seminar at
Luzerne County Community
College in conjunction with the
Genealogical Society of Pennsyl-
vania and the Pennsylvania State
Archives office in Harrisburg.
Helen OBrien from the
NEPGS said the group was en-
couraged to conduct the semi-
nars at the behest of the Genea-
logical Society of Pennsylvania
because of the high level of inter-
est inthehistoryof families inLu-
zerne County.
About 140 people attended to
find out ways to trace their heri-
tage, OBrien said.
Members fromthe NEPGSand
other local experts talked about
the importance of local history,
ways to explore census informa-
tion and military records, and
ways to search through the natu-
ralization records in Luzerne
County, among others, she add-
ed.
The NEPGS now archives
about 5,000 records of all types,
including paper documents, mi-
crofiche, photos, cemetery re-
cords, government records and
more at the Hanover Green loca-
tion, shesaid. Theyarealsowork-
ingondigitalizing information.
Joyce Homan, executive direc-
tor of the GSP, said the search for
roots is becoming increasingly
popular in Pennsylvania.
People have a real desire to
find out where they came from,
Homan said. They crave that
feeling of belonging.
Homan said a lot of interest re-
sults fromthe growth in websites
dedicated to ancestry. However,
she notes the best place to start
seekinginformationis right with-
in your own family.
Talk to your relatives, she
said. Many people dont realize
the opportunities available by
just talking to their grandparents
about their family history.
Otherwise, searchers could
face language barriers, lost re-
cords, or poor record quality she
said. When searching, have as
much specific information such
as names, places and dates as
possible, she emphasized.
Aaron McWilliams, reference
archivist from the state archive
office in Harrisburg, said Penn-
sylvania is unique in its history
because the early settlers came to
enjoy religious freedom; then the
later groups came because of eco-
nomic opportunity.
Families look for ties to their
old country or involvement in
history such as fighting in the
Civil War or Revolutionary War,
McWilliams said. The key is to
start with your own family, he
said.
The biggest lament we hear is
how someone should have asked
a family member, he said.
Alan Drust and Lavada Rig-
gins, from the NEPGS, said the
all-volunteer group based in Ha-
nover Townshipis always opento
help local people do their ances-
tral search. They added Satur-
days seminar is the first of many
to come. Anyone interested in
contacting NEPGS can call 829-
1765. They always welcome vol-
unteers, Drust said.

Its still a work in progress,
Griffith said. We hope to have it
up and running some day.
Rock Glen
The Rocky Glen amusement
park in Moosic opened in the late
1800s and operated for nearly100
years before it closed down in
1987.
Some say it was the longest-
running amusement park in
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Savakinus says its a place
where he spent a lot of time with
his family and holds his child-
hood memories.
Those memories, Savakinus
says, are pushing him to write a
book about the park, which he
has already made a documentary
filmabout andoftenspeaks about
at presentations.
I can remember the gun
fights, the can-can dancers ... and
picnics in the grove area, Savaki-
nus said. I started thinking we
could bring back some of the me-
mories I startedto do research,
then lectures.
Savakinus said he pieced to-
gether what he had and created a
documentary on the park, asking
fellow enthusiasts to help him
with stories and photos, even
some old movies.
A lot of people were coming
out to help, its an easy thing to
talk about, Savakinus said.
The park had a 3,000-foot Mil-
lion Dollar Roller Coaster near
the lake and a dance hall that at-
tracted some of the worlds top
entertainers.
The park was sold in 1970 to
National Recreation, which
changedthenametoGhost Town
in the Glen. It was sold again in
1979, and the park regained its
original name in 1982.
Savakinus says he hopes to be-
gin working on a book about
Rocky Glen in early fall, includ-
ing photos, history, and stories
from people who enjoyed the
park.
We lost a lot of community
spirit (when the park closed),
Savakinus said. It was an (aver-
PetrilloandSavakinus, bothlo-
cal historians, hold regular pre-
sentations and offer a plethora of
photos.
I had the good fortune of en-
joying Angela Park in the 60s and
70s as a child, Fichter said. My
first job as a teenager was at An-
gela Park operating several of the
rides, and I was also able to enjoy
the park as a parent when I took
my son there in the mid 80s be-
fore it closed for good. I realized
other people were as enthusiastic
and wanted to bring memories
back ...
Angela Park
For Fichter, it started with a
few pieces of Angela Park mem-
orabilia he had and a florescent
orange sign he spray-painted
with AngelaParkStore.com.
I was going to sell what I had
around Christmastime (2011),
and shut down after, Fichter
said. I decided to keep it up after
I discovered this year marks the
55th anniversary of the opening
of the park and next year will
mark the 25th anniversary of its
closing.
Fichter said he began coming
in contact with other people who
were interested and had memor-
abilia, and began adding mer-
chandise to his website.
Angela Park, along Route 309
in Butler Township, opened in
1957andclosedin1988. The park
was ownedbythe Barletta family,
and originally had six rides, in-
cluding an out-and-back junior
style wooden roller coaster, Fich-
ter says.
The parkhadanOlympic-sized
swimming pool, wooden slide,
bumper cars and a boat ride.
The pizza was delicious,
Fichter said. And Porky the Pa-
per Eater a garbage can with a
vacuumin it that would suck gar-
bage out of your hand, and had
different sayings.
Fichters website has sold out
of its most popular pieces of An-
gela Park history yo-yos, sun vi-
sors and collectable spoons.
But, Fichter says he still has a
Velcrowallet, ridetickets, sewing
kits and even an ashtray all in
mint condition.
Im constantly looking for
stuff to add, Fichter said. The
best way people can remember it
is to have a little piece of it.
Hansons
Looker, of Pittsburgh, says the
last time he was at Hansons
Amusement Park at Harveys
Lake was in the early 1980s with
his children.
He can remember it vividly:
the bumper cars, the trainandhis
favorite the penny arcade.
When the weather gets nice, I
start thinking about that place,
Looker said. Imgladmyparents
took me there. I have pretty good
memories from that place.
Looker has contributed many
photos to websites dedicated to
defunct amusement parks, and is
in the early stages of starting his
own website to collection dedi-
cated solely to Hansons.
Hansons opened in 1891 and
closed in 1984, the longest run-
ning amusement park in Luzerne
County.
The park was owned by the
Hanson family, and had a Speed
Hound roller coaster, carousel
and bumper cars.
Local attorney and historian
Petrillo gives presentations on
Hansons, most recently this past
week at Misericordia University,
where he spoke last week to a
crowd of dozens about the pop-
ular park and showed a video and
slide presentation.
For 93 years, it was a very be-
loved place, Petrillo said.
Petrillo outlines the parks his-
tory until its closing, detailing its
numerous owners, and most no-
table one, the Hanson family.
Aminiature trainthat operated
at the park, Petrillo said, is still in
operationgiving rides at the Bon-
hamNursing Home in Stillwater.
Roger Griffith of Shavertown is a
founding member of the Brass
RingFoundation, whichhas been
working to bring the parks origi-
nal carousel back to Harveys
Lake.
Griffith, who once performed
on stage at the park in the band,
the Star Fires, and with Chubby
Checker, said the 1909 carousel
was shipped fromFlorida to Har-
veys Lake two years ago, and cur-
rently is being housed in a stor-
age facility but said he cant re-
age) half hour drive to have a lot
of fun together at a low cost.
Sans Souci Park
Looker also recalls visits to
Sans Souci Park in Hanover
Township which operated from
1905 to 1970, but can only recall
minimal visits there.
The park was located where
the Hanover Area Junior-Senior
High School now sits, and had at
least four roller coasters.
Originally opened in 1900 by a
streetcar company, it was called
Hanover Park.
The Glen Alden Coal Compa-
ny owned the property until
James L. Brown, Edward Lee and
former state Sen. Frank OCon-
nell purchased it in 1959.
The dance pavilion lured in
crowds each weekend, according
to Times Leader archives, and
even featured Sonny and Cher.
The octagon-shaped pavilion
provided 13,000 feet of floor
space and accommodated 2,000
dancers, according to a March
1930 newspaper story.
A Ferris wheel that existed at
Sans Souci was eventuallymoved
to Hansons, Petrillo said.
Local historian F. Charles Petrillo gives a presentation on Hansons Amusement Park at Misericor-
dia University on Wednesday.

abilia.

The railroad ride was a popular activity at Don Hansons Amusement Park. This photo fromabout

F. Charles Petrillo says
many area amusement
parks were constructed
from picnic areas that
catered to those using
the railroad system.
The parks were built to
increase passenger
service on those trains,
Petrillo said.
Parks such as Hansons
ultimately closed, he
said, because of expen-
sive insurance policies
that family-run parks
couldnt afford. Others
fell victim to the nation-
al amusement parks
that opened in nearby
locations.

S
that government can be corrupt-
ed, thats why they wrote the
rules, and we are ignoring the
rules, Boneham added. Our
freedoms are being eliminated
through the correctional facili-
ties; through the War on Drugs,
through the War on Terror,
throughany number of programs
our government is creating to
protect us from ourselves.
Jesse Epps, a union and civil
rights leader and one-time asso-
ciate of Martin Luther King Jr.,
said all Americans, regardless of
party, should embrace the princi-
ples laid down in those docu-
ments.
When we look at America to-
day, we need to lay aside our dif-
ferences and focus on what unit-
es us, Epps said. The principles
of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and the United States Con-
stitution should be the guiding
light, as it were, the city on a
hill and all institutions and or-
ganizations should be judged on
those standards.
The Declaration of Independ-
ence says clearly, all men are cre-
atedequal, andthey are endowed
by their creator with certain un-
alienable rights, he continued.
We are adrift because we are
not following the road map for
our country that we have been
given It is worth nothing if we
dont implement it in our day-to-
day existence.
All told more than 20 speakers
took the Kirby Center stage dur-
ing the rally Friday night andSat-
urday, including former New
Mexico governor and Libertar-
ian presidential candidate Gary
Johnson and 2004 Libertarian
presidential candidate Michael
Badnarik.
Between speeches there were
musical performances and vid-
eos, and Kings College student
Adam McGahee, of Wilkes-
Barre, read Martin Luther Kings
famous I Have a Dream speech.
Tom Lingenfelter of the Heri-
tage Collectors Society Inc. of
Bucks County also brought and
spoke about his anastatic copy of
the Declaration of Independ-
ence. One of only two such co-
pies known to exist, it was creat-
ed in 1846 by covering the origi-
nal document in an acid solution
anda plate of zinc. The inkonthe
paper repelled the acid, creating
a perfect reverse copy on the zinc
plate that was used to print the
document.
Lingenfelter found the copy at
a Berks County flea market. The
other copy is in Independence
Hall, he said.
LIBERTARIAN
NEW YORK The investiga-
tion into the disappearance of 6-
year-old Etan Patz has stretched
through decades and countries,
from basements to rooftops and
seemingly everywhere in be-
tween.
No one has ever been charged
criminally and the little boy
with sandy brown hair and a
toothy grin was declared dead in
2001.
This week, after more than a
decade of relative quiet, the case
suddenly ran hot again, after a
cadaver-sniffing dog picked up a
scent in an old basement down
the street from the boys home.
By Saturday, investigators had
finished ripping up the base-
ments concrete floor with jack-
hammers and saws, and were
digging through the dirt in hope
of finding the boys remains, or
any other evidence.
So far, authorities havent giv-
en any outward sign that theyve
found anything.
Law enforcement is always
cautiously optimistic, said Tim
Flannelly, chief FBI spokesman
inNewYork. But this is one lead
of many.
Its not clear
what, if any-
thing, the dig
will turn up,
but the investi-
gationhas reac-
hed similar
highs before
only for the
trail togocoldfor years at a time.
Etan vanished on May 25,
1979, while walking alone to his
school bus stop for the first time,
twoblocks fromhis homeinNew
Yorks SoHo neighborhood.
There was an exhaustive
search by the police and a crush
of media attention. The boys
photo was one of the first of a
missing child on a milk carton.
Thousands of fliers were plas-
tered around the city, buildings
canvassed, hundreds of people
interviewed. SoHo was not a
neighborhood of swank bou-
tiques and galleries as now, but
of working-class New Yorkers
rattled by the news.
Yukie Ohta, now 43, remem-
bers police comingtoher door to
talk to her about the boys disap-
pearance. Her sister had gone to
a childs play group with Etan, in
the very basement police are
searching. By the time he disap-
peared, the childrens collective
had moved and the space was be-
ing used by a handyman, Othniel
Miller.
I didnt really know anything
helpful, Ohta said.
No one knew enough. Etans
parents, Stan and Julie, offered a
$25,000 reward for information
leading to the boys where-
abouts, and sightings were fre-
quently reported, to no avail. In
1986, a child resembling Etan
was spotted in Israel, which
prompted detectives to circulate
his photo there. Nothing came of
it.
A name gradually emerged as
a possible suspect: Jose Ramos, a
drifter and onetime boyfriend of
Etans baby sitter. In the early
1980s, he was arrested on theft
charges, and had photos of other
young, blond boys in his back-
pack. But there was no hard evi-
dence linking Ramos to the
crime.
Those cases are still main-
tained by someone, but the at-
tention they get diminishes over
time, said Joseph Pollini, a re-
tired NYPD lieutenant in the
cold case squad, nowa professor
at John Jay College of Criminal
Justice. Theres often nothing
you can do, when you have no
new leads.
A fresh lead came in 2000, af-
ter Ramos, now in prison in Dal-
las, Pennsylvania, for sexually
molesting two boys in unrelated
cases, admittedhe was withEtan
the day he disappeared. He was
said to have told a cellmate:
Etan is dead. There is no body,
and there will never be a body.
That prompted police to scour
for clues in the building where
Ramos lived at the time. They
dismantled the furnace and
searched it for DNA. But they
found only animal traces.
The case was quiet until 2010
when new district attorney Cy-
rus R. Vance said he was going to
revisit it.
Ramos is scheduled to be re-
leased from prison in Pennsylva-
nia in November. His pending
freedomis one of the factors that
has given new urgency to the
case.
But the focus has shiftedtothe
basement that had been used at
the time as a workspace for a
handyman named Othniel Mill-
er. He was interviewed after the
boy went missing, and his space
was searched then but never dug
up. Law enforcement officials
have spokentohimas recentlyas
Wednesday, and one interview
prompted them to take a closer
look at the space, the officials
said, speaking on condition of
anonymity because the case was
ongoing.

The main reason none of the
eight legislators serving a por-
tion of Luzerne County have pri-
mary election opponents and on-
ly three of themface a challenger
in the fall is easily explained, lo-
cal political science professors
said.
The answer is money, said
Jeff Brauer, a Keystone College
professor. It takes a lot of money
to run for office, particularly if
youre running against an incum-
bent.
There are other reasons at play
this year that also likely factored
into the lightly contested slate.
One is that the presidential,
U.S. Senate and U.S. House elec-
tions are on the ballot and they
usually receive a large share of
political contribution budgets.
Another, according to Wilkes
University Professor Tom Baldi-
no, is confusion created when,
just weeks before the deadline to
file nominating petitions, the
state Supreme Court shot downa
redistricting plan approved by a
state panel in December.
That made it difficult for po-
tential candidates to obtain sig-
natures and run on such a short
timetable.
At least one candidate, Repub-
lican Pete Mailloux of Mountain
Top, dropped out because of the
redistricting snafu. He had
planned to challenge incumbent
Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-
Barre, in the 121st District.
We may see a few more chal-
lengers file in 2014, assuming the
districts have been redrawn to
the satisfaction of the courts,
Baldino said.
Baldino said there may be an-
other reason why so many local
incumbents seem to sail to re-
election unchallenged.
The areas state representa-
tives and senators are so widely
regarded as good lawmakers that
potential challengers, for both
the primary and general elec-
tions, were discouraged from
running against them, Baldino
said.
This is not an uncommon oc-
currence in our region or across
the entire state, because incum-
bent legislators have many ad-
vantages that challengers lack,
such as name recognition, which
make incumbents difficult to un-
seat, he said.
In addition to Pashinski, the
state legislators who are unlikely
to have an opponent in Novem-
ber are: Rep. Mike Carroll, D-
Avoca, Rep. Karen Boback, R-
Harveys Lake, Rep. Sid Michaels
Kavulich, D-Taylor, and Sen.
John Gordner, R-Berwick.
The three likely toface a gener-
al election opponent are Rep.
Phyllis Mundy, Rep. Gerry Mul-
lery and Rep. Tarah Toohil.
Mundy, D-Kingston, has
served in the House for more
than 21 years, making her the se-
nior local legislator. She is in line
to face Aaron Kaufer, a Republi-
can and recent college graduate
from Kingston.
Mullery, D-Newport Town-
ship, a freshman legislator who
won the seat vacated by Sen.
John Yudichak two years ago,
will meet Rick Arnold, a home-
builder from Rice Township. It
would be a rematch of the 2010
election, which Mullery won
with nearly 52 percent of the
votes cast.
Toohil, a Republican freshman
who scoredone of the biggest up-
set wins in the state two years
ago when she knocked off House
Majority Leader Todd Eachus,
will likely face fellow Butler
Township resident Ransom
Young in the fall.
Young is a township supervi-
sor and the challenger Kings
College political science profes-
sor Dave Sosar says is perhaps
best positionedtoscore anupset.
In this case, the lack of redis-
tricting could hurt the incum-
bent.
Because Toohil, a Republican,
represents a Democratic-leaning
district by registration, shell
have to attract voters in both par-
ties andIndependents. Her upset
win two years ago over Eachus
was aided by a scandal involving
legislative leaders called Bonus-
gate that Toohil loosely tied Ea-
chus toandother missteps by Ea-
chus during the campaign.
Now Toohil is a freshman go-
ing up against Young, a member
of the Butler Township Board of
Supervisors for 28 years with
name recognition in the district.
RansomYoung is a fairly well-
known guy, said Sosar. This
will be the closest race.
Money is keeping a lot of potential candidates away

HARRISBURG A veteran
statelawmakerwithabackground
in accounting and a retiree with
experience as a legislative staff
member and banking lobbyist are
competing for the Republican
nominationforPennsylvaniaaudi-
tor general.
State Rep. JohnMaher is the es-
tablishment candidate, a 15-year
House member who carries the
state GOPs endorsement and
whose campaign has already re-
ceived a $25,000 boost from Gov.
Tom Corbetts political commit-
tee. The Philadelphia Inquirer al-
so has endorsed Maher.
Frank Pinto portrays himself as
thepolitical outsider, eventhough
he workedfor the state Senate Re-
publican caucus for nearly a dec-
ade and spent 25 years as presi-
dent and chief executive officer of
the Pennsylvania Association of
Community Bankers before he re-
tired at the end of last year.
The auditor general, an office
held for the past eight years by
Democrat Jack Wagner, is the
states fiscal watchdog. BothMah-
er and Pinto say they would make
changes at the agency if elected,
although specifics are difficult to
nail down.
Maher, 53, a certified public ac-
countant andco-founder of aPitts-
burghCPAfirmthat specializes in
government andnonprofit organi-
zations, talks about adding value
to the thousands of annual audits
the office conducts. Maher, who
soldhis interest inthecompanyto
partners in 2004, wants to mine
that informationmore aggressive-
lytofindmoreefficient waysof do-
ing the publics business.
With all of that knowledge, we
should have a focus on best prac-
tices, he said in a recent inter-
view.
Imquite confident that Imgo-
ing to discover an awful lot of
things that will make Pennsylva-
niabetter, saidMaher, whorepre-
sents parts of Allegheny and
Washington counties.
Pinto, 67, says the state doesnt
need a CPA as auditor general,
since more than one out of 10 of
the departments 600 employees
are CPAs, and that he would use
in-depth performance audits to
root out waste and inefficiency in
stategovernment, school districts
and other entities that receive
state aid.
I dont want to be a bean coun-
ter, said Pinto, who lives outside
Harrisburg in Dauphin.
Pintos only previous bid for
public office was an unsuccessful
campaign for City Council in his
home city of Philadelphia in1975.
TheGOPwinner intheApril 24
primary will face state Rep. Eu-
gene DePasquale of York County,
who is unopposed for the Demo-
cratic nod, in the Nov. 6 general
election.

ical science professor at Wilkes
University.
However, if we look at past
voter behavior in the county,
voters didnt consider Rep.
(Paul) Kanjorskis extensive se-
niority as very important be-
cause they voted against retain-
ing him and replacing him with
(U.S. Rep. Lou) Barletta.
But Holden, the 10-term con-
gressman fromSt. Clair, Schuyl-
kill County, has made his se-
niority and committee appoint-
ments focal points of his cam-
paign.
During a meeting with Times
Leader staffers earlier this
month, Holden, 55, said his as-
signments to the House Agri-
culture and Transportation and
Infrastructure committees, cou-
pled with his seniority, were key
for Northeastern Pennsylvania.
No matter whos in charge of
the Congress or the White
House next year, if I amre-elect-
ed there will not be one piece of
legislation dealing with trans-
portation or agriculture that I
will not be in a roomwhen the
final decisions made. If a fresh-
man is in the Congress, he or
she will not be anywhere near
the final decision process; will
not have any impact whatsoev-
er. Unfortunately, I can tell you
that from experience. Because
they dont pay attention to you
for a long time.
Carney: Seniority matters
The benefits of having a mem-
ber with seniority in Washing-
ton were noted by former U.S.
Rep. Chris Carney, who spoke
in support of Holden at a rally in
Scranton last weekend.
Carney said Holdens senior-
ity in the House and on House
committees is crucial to bring-
ing federal dollars to Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania. (Cart-
wright) is a good guy, but Matt,
if he came in, goes to the back of
the line, and seniority is criti-
cal, Carney said. When we
talk about getting transporta-
tion bills through, Tim is at the
table; when we talk about any-
thing in agriculture, Tim is at
the table; when we talk about
anything for Pennsylvania, it is
Tim at the table.
The committee assignment,
tenure and experience dont
mean all that much when the
member at hand is in the minor-
ity party, like Holden is current-
ly. But since Holden is a so-
called Blue Dog Democrat,
something Cartwright, an attor-
ney fromMoosic, has criticized,
it actually bolsters Holdens ar-
gument.
His position as a Blue Dog is
important. You need somebody
that can reach across and work
with Republicans, said Dave
Sosar, a Kings College political
science professor. A senior
member in his particular capac-
ity can still help that congres-
sional district.
The 17th serves all or por-
tions of Schuylkill, Carbon, Lu-
zerne, Lackawanna, Monroe
and Northampton counties in-
cluding the cities of Wilkes-
Barre, Scranton, Pittston and
Easton.
Keystone College professor
Jeff Brauer argues there seems
to still be a throw the bums
out mentality amongst voters,
but Sosar contends that losing
Holden at this time doesnt
make much sense.
You cant afford to lose ev-
erybody, he said.
He noted that in the last three
years, Pennsylvania as a whole
and Northeast Pennsylvania in
particular has seen election
losses by Arlen Specter, the
longest serving senator in the
states history, Paul E. Kanjor-
ski, D-Nanticoke, who was in
the House for 26 years and the
death of Rep. John Murtha, a
Johnstown House member who
was the longest-serving Penn-
sylvania congressman in histo-
ry.
Losing Tim Holden would
be devastating, Sosar said.
Tim Holden, I dont think, is
another hit the state can take,
Sosar said.
Key assignments
Brauer said that while Hold-
ens seniority and key commit-
tee assignments mean some-
thing to political insiders and
some hardcore political neo-
phytes, the average voter
doesnt care.
I dont think senioritys sell-
ing at the moment, Brauer
said. Noting the losses by Kan-
jorski, Specter and Carney two
years ago, he added It didnt
sell the last time around.
Cartwright, 50, said he under-
stands the arguments in favor of
seniority, but in this race, peo-
ple should turn a deaf ear to it.
In theory, it would matter. In
practice, in this case, seniority
is what you make of it, Cart-
wright said. Even though Mr.
Holden has been in Washington
for 19 years, he hasnt done
much with his seniority.
He said that Holden has au-
thored two bills that have gone
on to become law.
Both were to name local post
offices, Cartwright noted.
Cartwright said that while
Holden does indeed sit on two
key committees in the House,
he hasnt much to show for his
assignments.
If you dont use your senior-
ity effectively, it doesnt matter
at all, Cartwright noted.
Holden: Earmarks count
Holden noted that hes done
more than use his seniority to
name post offices. He said he
obtained millions of dollars in
earmarks for the 17th District
including funding for the cancer
institute at Penn State Milton
Hershey Medical Center and for
infrastructure work at Fort Indi-
antown Gap.
The longer someone is in
Congress, the more influence,
the more assistance he or she
can be to the constituents,
Holden said.
The winner between the two
Democrats will face Republican
Laureen Cummings, a Tea Party
activist and small business own-
er from Old Forge, in Novem-
ber.

Resides: Moosic, Lackawanna
County
Family: Married to Marion Munley
for 26 years. They have two sons,
Jack, 19, and Matthew, 16.
Education: Graduated from UCC
High School in Toronto in 1979.
Earned an AB degree in history
from Hamilton College in Clinton,
N.Y. in 1983 and his law degree
from the University of Pennsylva-
nia in 1986.
Career: Worked for the law firm
Montgomery, McCracken, Walker
and Rhodes in Philadelphia from
1986 to 1988. He then joined Rob-
ert W. Munley P.C., a Scranton law

Abortion: Both candidates op-
pose abortion except in cases of
rape, incest or the mothers
health.
Illegal Immigrants: Holden says
he is not for granting amnesty. He
is for ambitiously deporting
people who are found to be living
here illegally. Cartwright said hes
in favor of enforcing existing
immigration laws. More money
and manpower needs to go into
that, Cartwright said.
Health Care: Holden voted
against the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act. Cartwright
wants to make it stronger.

PRIMARY
able to the GOP, redistricting
stretched its borders to Harris-
burg and removed Vinsko from
the district. He had filed to run
prior to the redistricting, and af-
ter the new boundaries were an-
nounced, decided to stay in the
11th race.
Veteran political analyst Ed
Mitchell said Vinsko appears to
have the edge on Tuesday.
But it will be hard for him to
beat Barletta unless he raises a
million dollars and Obama wins
big here, Mitchell said. The
new district favors Barletta tre-
mendously.
Name recognition
TomBaldino, political science
professor at Wilkes University,
said both Stilp and Vinsko have
name recognition -- Stilp in the
area in and around Dauphin
county and Vinsko in Luzerne
County.
Much will depend on which
part of the newdistrict turns out
the most Democratic voters,
Baldino said.
Baldino agreed the redrawn
11th District appears to favor a
Republican candidate.
Since Barletta is not only a
Republican, but also an incum-
bent, he must be perceived as
the heavily favored candidate,
he said. Incumbent congress-
men have a 90-plus percent
chance of being re-elected, a fig-
ure based on election statistics
that go back to 1948.
But in 2010, two incumbents
lost Kanjorski in the 11th Dis-
trict, and Chris Carney, another
Democrat, in the 10th District.
Stilp says he doesnt just talk,
he takes action. He fought the
state legislative pay raise to the
Supreme Court.
He was at the center in expos-
ing the Bonusgate scandal and
has fought for environmental is-
sues.
He said voters in the 11th Dis-
trict have a rare opportunity to
send a loud and clear message
on Tuesday.
For too long Congress has ig-
nored the will of average, hard-
working Pennsylvanians, Stilp
said. If you believe that our in-
cumbent congressmen and
women worry more about keep-
ing their jobs and perks and rais-
ing campaign money than serv-
ing the people, then cast your
vote for me.
Stilp said he will protect So-
cial Security and Medicare; pre-
serve existing jobs in the district
and help veterans of all ages. He
wants to restore funding to edu-
cation and supports health care
reform.
Imfeelingstrong, Stilpsaid.
Weve run a clean campaign
that has resonated with voters.
My record of reformhas made it
easy for me to run and convince
voters to vote for me.
Clean campaign pledge
Stilp and Vinsko signed a
clean campaign pledge and
stuck to it. He said if he wins the
nomination, he will be at Lou
Barlettas door Wednesday
morning to ask him to sign the
same pledge.
Vinsko said the election is
about getting things done in
Congress.
People want to knowthat the
person they elect is going to
have strong convictions, but will
be able to work with the other
side, he said. Until Congress
works together, nothing will get
done to solve our job crisis, to
protect Social Security and
Medicare or ensure an excellent
education for our children. I will
be able to work with people and
stand tall for the people of the
11th Congressional District.
This is Vinskos first run for of-
fice. He said he decided to chal-
lenge Barletta because of the for-
mer Hazleton mayors voting re-
cord on key issues. He said Bar-
letta has voted against
Medicare, against disaster relief,
and against the payroll tax cut
for the middle class.
Vinsko said he has significant
experience in both the public
and private sector.
I have built businesses, hired
employees and created budgets
onthe private side, he said. On
the public side, I know govern-
ment financing, I have been in-
volved in economic develop-
ment and I have extensive expe-
rience in drafting legislation.
Vinsko said if he is elected to
Congress hewill votehis constit-
uency.
I will know how those votes
will affect individuals and small
businesses, Vinsko said. We
need a congressman who has a
background in working with
people to get things done.

Key issues:
Abortion:

abortion when the life of the moth-
er is at risk or in cases of rape. He
said he is personally opposed to
abortion.
Vinsko, a Roman Catholic, is pro-
life.
Illegal Immigrants:

Act needs some work, but we
cannot throw everything out and
start over.
Stilp said he supports real health
care reform that reduces costs and
leaves no one behind.

oe Kristanis the owner of Forty Fort Lube andService andis opening
a newshop on Pierce Street in Kingston to go along with the Wyom-
ing Avenue location. Kristan, 38, attended Bishop OReilly High
School and Luzerne County Community College where he studied many
aspects of the automotive trade. Joe and his wife, Lisa, have a dog, Jake, a
German shorthaired mix. They live in Dallas.
Have you always had a knack for
workingwithcars?We hada large yard
when I was younger and I used to tinker
with vehicles there. I would work on the
riding mower and eventually I started
workingonmymoms various vehicles. I
would do tune-ups and oil changes
among other repairs. In high school I
workedat aMobil gas stationandcon-
tinued to work there for close to 15
years after I graduated. That location
is actually where we are setting up
the new Pierce Street shop.
When did you decide to go into
business for yourself? It was in
2006 when I opened the Wyoming
Avenue shop. I decided to open the
Pierce Street location about a
month ago since we were having
success. We had more customers
than we could handle so the second
location was needed.
Are the customers a big part of
your enjoyment of the business? It
absolutely is. The interaction with them
feels great on a personal level. You get to
knowtheir situations andwhat repairs they
need. It feels good to fix something or to
oversee the great work that is done here
for the customers.
What is your idea of relaxation outside
of work?Imalways working, but nowthat
the summer is (coming), the wife and I love
hanging out on our deck. We are summer
people. We love going to local and state
parks like Frances Slocum. During the win-
ter we are homebodies but like to get away
towarmweather climates likewhenwecel-
ebrated our wedding anniversary. The
clean beaches of Aruba were wonderful.
Where would you like to visit some-
day? We always wanted to visit Europe to
see different cultures and to learn about
new things.
In the media world, what entices you?
I love action films like the Bourne trilogy. I
reallyenjoySeinfeldontelevision. I alsoen-
joy watching the Steelers and Oakland As
when I get a chance.
What tunes are on your radio when lis-
teningtomusic?I like a broadrange. I en-
joyTomPetty, Metallicaandtalk radio, too.
Do you have a saying you live by? I
have many of the usual ones that relate to
lifeandwork. Workhardandplayhard. Live
each day like it is your last and be truthful.
During your lifetime, who have you ad-
miredmost?Noone person. It is a variety
of people that have inspired me through
the years. My parents and many different
business people have played key roles in
my life and contributed to who I amtoday.
What would you like to see improved
the most in Northeast Pennsylvania?
There has to be more for kids to do locally.
Manykids canbeseenonthestreets where
there is limited room to play or hang out.
Maybe more parks so youths have a place
to go instead of being inside or in trouble.
What moments stand out in your life
the most? It all starts with my wife. She
has stoodby me since highschool andreal-
ly helped me withthe business throughthe
years. Weareparticularlyproudof opening
the original Forty Fort Lube when we took
over the vacant garage in 2006.
What sums you up as a person? How
wouldyoudescribe yourself tosomeone?
I ama very easy-going guy who is truthful
and very straightforward.

OS ANGELES The
Hollywood studio cour-
troom of Judge Judy
Sheindlin may seem in-
viting enough, but Hugo
Escobedo Jr. looked like
someone discoveringa moment too
late that he was inthe lions denand
the head lion was about to bite his
head off.
During a taping, Escobedo, 18, was trying
topersuadeSheindlinthat hewas not respon-
sible for an accident in Houston that caused
considerable damage to a car driven by 19-
year-old Angelique Trump, who had filed a
small claims suit against him. But the stu-
dents case was crumbling. Escobedo, who
had no drivers license, testified that he had
taken his fathers car without permission and
had switched places with his passenger after
the collision, tellingpolice he was not driving
at the time of the crash. Still, he claimed, the
accident was Trumps fault.
The magistrate bristled. Do I look like a
24-year-old movie star to you? she asked
with her characteristic laser-like glare.
No, maam, muttered Escobedo.
She turned to bailiff Petri Hawkins Byrd,
standing close by. Byrd met her glance.
Yeah, you do, he said.
The judges sour mood instantly dissolved.
You got the job, she said soothingly.
Actually, the bailiff known as Byrd has
had the job from Day 1 for close to 20
years. Since 1996 when she arrived on the
daytime scene and upended the staid court
TV genre with her suffer-no-fools demeanor,
Sheindlin has had one constant by her side:
the solidly built, deep-voiced court officer
who has one of TVs most interesting occupa-
tions: He is the guard dog to the pit bull.
Moreover, Byrd, 54, actually had the job be-
fore he had the job he often served under
Sheindlin when he worked as a bailiff in Man-
hattan Family Court at a time when she was
an outspoken family court and supervising
judge. Their palpable chemistry, defined by
sly asides and knowing glances, is a key com-
ponent of Judge Judy, which has jumped
from being one of the most popular shows in
daytime to the undisputed champ of the syn-

espite some first-day problems
because of so many people try-
ing to access it at once, the 1940
U.S. Census has proved the hit every-
one thought it would be.
Brian Bergman of Hanover Township
reports that he was part of the mob
trying to break the doors down on
April 2, but found everything he was
looking for on both sides of his family
once he was able to get into it.
Even without an index being com-
piled yet, Im having more success than
I expected! he said just days after it
appeared.
Elaine May of Swoyersville is equally
enthusiastic but more about the
indexing part of it. In an email cleverly
titled Indexing Rocks, May says that
she joined the indexing project of the
Northeast Pennsylvania Genealogical
Society even before the census came
out and has thoroughly enjoyed her
experience.
Says May, Indexing makes me feel
like I am contributing something. Since
your column was published back in
February, I have indexed over 13,000
names. During the first week that the
1940 census was available for indexing,
I was the top indexer for the NEPGS.
As a side benefit, she says, I have
also now learned different tricks for
researching my family as a result of the
indexing project.
Indexing, of course, is vital to search-
ers of the census because it makes
finding particular names a lot easier.
To get involved in the indexing effort,
contact the society at 829-1765 or at
nepgsmail@gmail.com.
Titanic Anniversary: More local
connections to RMS Titanic, the ship
that sank in 1912 carrying about 1,500
people to their deaths, are appearing.
Former Exeter resident Quintin Casse-
tori-Tiffany, now of North Shores,
Mich., points out that the husband of
famous Titanic survivor Unsinkable
Molly Brown had a local connection.
James Joseph Brown (1854-1922), as
numerous sources attest, was born at
Waymart. His family moved to Pittston
when he was a child, and he grew up
there, studying at St. Johns Academy.
Moving west to make his fortune, he
studied mining on the job at various
places and eventually became wealthy
in the Colorado gold mines, eventually
marrying young Margaret Molly
Tobin.
Molly, who by 1912 had separated
from her husband, gained fame for
nursing stricken survivors of the Titan-
ic. Fictionalized versions of Molly have
been presented numerous times on
stage and on the screen, most recently
in the 1997 movie Titanic, where she
was portrayed by actress Kathy Bates.
Cassetori-Tiffany calls study of the
Titanic my passion since I was 7 and
says it landed him several mentions in
The Times Leader when he lived here.
News Notes: Congratulations to Tina
Lukashefski, genealogy coordinator at
the Osterhout Free Library in Wilkes-
Barre, for her quick action to help my
recent Getting Started in Genealogy
presentation get under way. When the
crowd that showed up exceeded the
capacity of the second-floor meeting
room, Lukashefski cleared out the
downstairs reading room and set it up
theatre style for the group, complete
with a coffee bar. The audience topped
out at upwards of 35 people. (I stopped
counting once the presentation began.)
Watch this column for more presenta-
tions throughout the year.

Pennsylvania Genealogical Societys

Im the Robin to her Batman,
the Kato to her Green Hornet,
proclaimed the 6-foot-4, 240-
pound Byrd with typical high
spirits. My friend Allen said it
best. He said, Shes the ham, and
youre the ham on bacon.
Said executive producer Ran-
dy Douthit, who has been with
Judge Judy since its launch,
Byrd underplays it, and it works
for the show. Hes a big guy, and
he plays the attitude of a real
court officer. No one told him to
act that way it just comes nat-
urally.
And though Sheindlin is the
clear star, Byrd, whose cour-
troom cool is a sharp contrast to
his outsized personality away
from the camera, has also ac-
quired his own following, com-
plete with a contingent of fans
who ask for autographs and im-
itate his signature gesture a
two-fingeredsummons to the liti-
gants to enter the courtroomand
plead their case. Theres been
quiet buzz about possible side
projects. Hes a comedian at
heart, and his repertoire of one-
liners and dead-on imperson-
ations of personalities such as
Bill Cosby, Bernie Mac and Car-
roll OConnor has landed him
gigs as an MCat events and as an
opening act for some of his favor-
ite smooth jazz musicians.
If you want to find Byrd on the
set, just lookfor the fadedspot on
the courts red carpet near the
bench that marks his territory.
In a separate interview, Shein-
dlin, marriedtoformer The Peo-
ples Court judge Jerry Shein-
dlin, said of her connection with
Byrd: Were like two old married
people who have reached an ac-
cord. I can rely on him to be my
protector. We dont have to ex-
change words he knows what
Im thinking. People who watch
us sense we have a history, and
that is very important.
If a litigant is getting out of line
or too outspoken, Byrd will ap-
proach them and give a quiet but
clear warning to calm down. On
one show, when a defendant be-
ing sued for trespassing in a resi-
dence came up with a convoluted
story about seeking shelter, a dis-
believing Sheindlin turned to
Byrd who said, Thats funny. I
thought he was going to make
something up. In a stolen-check
case, Sheindlin told the litigants
to calmdown, saying she wanted
to get it straight because Im ve-
ry organized. Officer Byrd will
tell you Im a very organized per-
son.
Absolutely, interjected Byrd.
Theres another, more personal
reason bonding them, said Byrd:
If you want the most abstract,
vague reason, here it is: Were
both from Brooklyn. To the rest
of the world, that might not make
sense, but those who are from
Brooklyn knowexactly what that
means. We know about being on
the stoop, about egg creams.
Judge Judy averages more
than10millionviewers aday. The
show, syndicated by CBS Televi-
sion Distribution, received a
boost when Oprah Winfrey aban-
doned her talk show in 2010 to
start her own cable network, but
even before that it rivaled Win-
frey in total viewers. Judge Ju-
dy, which airs on 260 stations
across the country as well as in-
ternationally, is one of CBS most
profitable series and is renewed
into 2015.
The formula from the begin-
ning has basically stayed the
same: Litigants of small claims
courts around the country agree
to have their disputes decided by
Sheindlin. The cases are scoped
by researchers scouring through
small claims files around the
country for interesting conflicts.
The show tapes at Sunset-
Bronson Studios every other
week, disposing of 10 cases a day
in front of a live audience. Finan-
cial judgments are paid by the
production. Sheindlin often chas-
tises litigants who cant convinc-
ingly back up their claims. Fans
eat up her Judy-isms, such as
On your best day, youre not as
smart as me on my worst day,
and They dont keep me here be-
cause Im gorgeous they keep
me here because Im smart.
Byrd, who received a bache-
lors degree in criminal justice
from the John Jay College of
Criminal Justice, recalled that
Sheindlin first got a reputation
for her sharp tongue when he
worked with her in the Manhat-
tan Family Court system. One of
their first main encounters came
when he was imitating her out
of her sight, he thought.
I had on her robe and her
glasses, and I was doing this real-
ly good impression of her for
these lawyers and clerks and ste-
nographers, Byrd recalled. Ev-
eryone was laughing. Then all
eyes shifted to my left and they
stopped laughing. ... I said. Ill
just resign. Please dont fire me.
But she was very cool. She had a
sense of humor.
He was not surprised when he
learned in 1996 that Sheindlin
had been offered a courtroom
show. By thenhe hadrelocatedto
San Mateo, Calif., to be a special
deputy U.S. marshal. He wrote
her a congratulatory letter, and
not longafter, the twowere work-
ing together again.
Byrd offered his own theory on
one key to the shows endurance:
Our times are becoming more
desperate were at a worse
place than ever before. Judy rep-
resents 16 years of integrity. She
will not be moved because the
times are changing. People who
cant stand her watch her, and
people who love her watch her.
There are similarities between
themthey are both devoted to
their families. Byrd has four chil-
dren, Sheindlin has five children
and 11 grandchildren. But they
rarely socialize: We have a good
working relationship, and we
have friends in common, but we
travel in different circles, said
Byrd.
Were diametrically opposed
on some issues, he said. Shes a
big-dog advocate. I do a lot of
work with youth groups. Thats
not her forte. But on some levels,
we have the same sense of jus-
tice.
Byrd said he is committed to
helping troubled young African-
American men. There have been
faint rumblings about a possible
reality showthat wouldcenter on
him as a counselor. But for now
the combination of him and
Sheindlin is unbreakable. Im
not going to say thered be no Ju-
dy without Byrd, he said. But
you know what? It wouldnt be
the same Judy.

SEATTLEPhil Humber had
Tommy John surgery before his
career even started. He bounced
around a bit as he tried to make it
in the major leagues.
Now, well, Humber is just per-
fect.
Humber threwthe first perfect
game in the majors in almost two
years, leading the Chicago White
Sox to a 4-0 victory over the Seat-
tle Mariners on Saturday.
What just took place was just
awesome, Humber said.
It was baseballs 21st perfect
game and first since Philadel-
phias Roy Halladay threw one
against the Florida Marlins on
May 29, 2010. It was the third in
White Soxs history, joining Mark
Buehrleagainst TampaBayonJu-
ly 23, 2009, and Charles Robert-
son against Detroit on April 30,
1922.
Before Saturday, Humber was
best known as one of four pro-
spects the Mets traded to Minne-
sota for two-time Cy Young
Award winner Johan Santana in
February 2008. Thats no longer
the case not after tossing the
majors first no-hitter of the sea-
son and the second April perfect
game in major league history.
I dont even know what to
say, Humber said. I dont know
what Philip Humber is doing in
this list. Noidea what my name is
doing there, but Im thankful its
there.
He was drafted No. 3 overall by
the New York Mets in 2004, one
pick after Justin Verlander went
to the Detroit Tigers. But Hum-
ber was sidelined by elbow-liga-
ment replacement surgery the
following year and didnt win a
game in the majors until 2010
with Kansas City.
Withthe White Soxlinedupon
the top step of the dugout, Hum-
ber fell behind 3-0 to Michael
Saunders leading off the ninth.
But he rebounded to strike him
out. John Jaso then flied out be-
foreBrendanRyan, another pinch
hitter, struckout toendthegame.
Ryantooka checkedswingand
missed at a full-count pitch that
was outside and low, but the ball
got away from Pierzynski. Ryan
lingered outside the batters box
for a minute, unsure of umpire
BrianRungescall, andPierzynski
fired to first to complete the play.
I was more nervous than I was
in the World Series, catcher A.J.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. This
weekend felt a lot like last season
to Colin McDonald.
Thats when he led the AHL
with42goalswithOklahomaCity.
After his second consecutive
two-goal night
on Saturday to
lead the Pen-
guinstoa7-2win
over theHershey
Bears in Game 2
of the first round
playoff series,
McDonald said
there are plenty
of parallels to his
42-goal season.
This is the
same feeling I
had last year, he
said. Imgetting
the bounces
right now.
The Penguins
got plenty of
bounces on Saturday to take a 2-0
leadinthebest-of-fiveseries. After
the first two games they have 10
goals compared to three for the
Bears.
While the offense obviously
clicked on Saturday, the defense
also turned in another stellar ef-
fort, holding Hershey to 16 shots
and keeping all of the Bears top
scorers off the scoresheet for the
second night.
Head coach John Hynes said
thedefensiveplayis areflectionof
a strong teameffort.
We understand the type of tal-
ent andskill theyhave, soour guys
are playing committed hockey de-
fensivelyright now, hesaid. And
its not just the D. The goaltend-
ings been good and the forwards
are coming back and defending
well.
Also, for the second straight
night, the Penguins got off to a
blistering start.
And it was McDonald again
who got the Penguins on the
board first. On Saturday he con-
nected just 1:19 into first period
when he picked up a loose puck
andfiredashot that deflectedoff a
Bears player in front and past Da-
ny Sabourin.
I was on the ice for five sec-
onds. Their guy tried to throw it
out of the zone, I grabbed it and
tried to get it on net, McDonald
said.

Barelytwomonths after receiv-
ing his first football scholarship
offer, GARs Shakir Soto decided
where he will be playing in the
fall of 2013.
Soto, an all-state defensive li-
neman, made a verbal commit-
ment to the University of Pitts-
burgh after making his third visit
there on Saturday.
The 6-foot-3, 235-pound Soto
received his first scholarship of-
fer Feb. 14 from Boston College.
He also re-
ceived offers
from Bowling
Green, Kent
State, Mary-
land, Massa-
chusetts, Rutg-
ers andTemple.
Penn State was
in contact with
him.
Soto was returning from Pitts-
burghandcouldnt be reachedfor
comment.
It was his third time hed been
out there, GAR coach Paul Wie-
dlichJr. said. He was pretty fired
up about them. He kind of knew
he was going to commit to them.
He just wanted to do it in person
because theyve treated him so
well.
Now he can focus on playing
football and enjoying the rest of
his junior year.
Soto was named to the Penn-
sylvania Sports Writers Class 2A
all-state team, Wyoming Valley
Conference Coaches Association
Small School all-star team and
The Times Leader All-WVC
team. He made a team-high 114
tackles andninesacks. Healsore-
turned an interception for a
touchdown and blocked a punt.
Soto also started on the offen-
sive line for the Grenadiers, but
has been recruited as a defensive
end.
First of all, they are getting a
great student, Wiedlich Jr. said.
Hes in the top 20 of his class. As
far as a person, the kid has a tre-
mendous work ethic that just
transfers to the field.
Soto is the third verbal com-
mitment for new Pitt coach Paul
Chryst and his staff and third
from Pennsylvania. Chambers-
burg offensive lineman Aaron
Reese also committed to the Pan-
thers on Saturday. Seton La Salle
tight end Scott Orndoff was the
first in mid-March.
Chryst took the Pitt position in
December after serving as Wis-
consins offensive coordinator.
He replaced Todd Graham, who
left after one season to become
Arizona States coach.
Pitt finished 6-7 this past sea-
son and 4-3 in the Big East. The
Panthers played in the BBVA
Compass Bowl, losing to SMU
28-6.

that Bill
OBrien and
the over-
hauled offen-
sive staff has
made every-
thing much
clearer to him
this spring.
And just like the last few
years, McGloin wasnt shy
about speaking his mind.
Guys are getting the same
amount of reps. Were commu-
nicating more, were having
more fun out there, McGloin
said during his first public com-
STATE COLLEGE -- The na-
ture of the competition has
changed. Matt McGloins ap-
proach has not.
SaturdaysBlue-WhiteGame,
of course, did little to solve the
latest quarterback quagmire at
Penn State. But McGloin, tech-
nically the incumbent in the
race, did not hide his admira-
tion for how the new coaching
staff is handling the situation.
Frustrated for much of last
seasonwhile stuckina carousel
with Rob Bolden, McGloin said
ments of the spring.
The most important thingis
were being told the truth.
Coaches are being honest with
us. And in the past, that really
hasnt happened too much.
Thats a start. But with an en-
tirely new -- and far more com-
plex -- offense being installed,
the results arent there yet.
Using a modified scoring sys-
tem for OBriens first Blue-
White Game, the defense de-
feated the offense 77-65 in large
part because the three quarter-
backs competing for the job
threw five interceptions. Three
by Bolden and one apiece by
McGloin and Paul Jones ac-
countedfor 30points for the de-
fense.
Following his first bit of live
action at Beaver Stadium,
OBrien preached patience.
I feel pretty good where
were at quarterback-wise, said
the newPenn State coach, who
calledthe offense fromthe side-
line. I really have to watch the
film, I really do. Ive got to see

Penn State quarterback Matthew McGloin (11) is
pressured by defensive tackle Cody Castor (96)
during their spring scrimmage Saturday in State
College.
It has been so
long since Matt
McGloin didnt
have to beat out
somebody else to
play quarterback,
he wouldnt know
what to do without
a competition.
So, in that sense, nothing has
really changed for him at Penn
State, even with all the changes
going on around his football team.
He will have to win his job again
one final time, as the kid from
Scranton comes back to play one
final college football season in the
fall. Even though he has clearly
been the best guy for Penn States
job the past two seasons.
I really dont even care,
McGloin, a former West Scranton
High School standout, said. Ive
been battling since Ive gotten here.
Yet, he seemed more enthused
about that prospect than bemused
about it.
Its a competition, McGloin
said. Some guys look forward to it.
Its just something you have to deal
with as a quarterback.
At times, it has seemed like
McGloin has gotten a raw deal at
Penn State.
It has always been a big fight for
him to get on the field, going all the
way back to the first game of his
QB battle leaves McGloin

UPCOMI NG SCHEDUL E
1. Trevor May, RHP, Read-
ing (Double-A): The strike-
out machine is off to a
strong start in Reading with
a 3-0 record in three starts.
Hes picked up where he left
off last year with Clearwater
in terms of strikeouts. Last
year, he racked up 208
punch-outs in 151
1
3 innings.
So far this season for the
Phillies, hes fanned 19 in 17
innings. He was a fourth-
round pick in 2008.
2. Jesse Biddle, LHP,
Clearwater (A-Advanced):
The start to his 2012 season
hasnt gone like the 2010
first-round pick has planned.
The 20-year-old is 0-2 with a
7.94 ERA in three starts for
the Threshers, allowing 15
runs in 11
1
3 innings. But hes
whiffed 16 and walked just
five.
3. Brody Colvin, RHP,
Clearwater (A-Advanced):
The third of what many in
Philadelphia are calling the
baby aces, Colvin has a
2.81 ERA in three starts and
16 innings pitched for the
Threshers. The 21-year-old
has yet to win a game this
season, going 0-1 with a pair
of no-decisions. He was
drafted in the seventh round
of the 2009 draft out of high
school.
4. Larry Greene, first base,
TBA: The first-round draft
pick for the organization last
June has yet to play in a
professional game. The 19-
year-old is currently in ex-
tended spring Training, but
the 6-foot, 235-pounder has
scouts clamoring about his
raw power.
5. Phillippe Aumont, RHP,
Lehigh Valley (Triple-A):
Thought of as being a late-
inning reliever for the Phil-
lies sometime soon, the
pitcher who was part of the
Cliff Lee deal with Seattle in
2010 has pitched well in
relief for the IronPigs so far.
The 6-foot-7, 260-pound 23-
year-old has four saves, a
4.26 ERA and nine strikeouts
in 6
1
3 innings early on.
6. Sebastian Valle, catcher,
Reading (Double-A): Looking
like the heir apparent to
Carlos Ruiz in Philadelphia
in the future, Valle is hitting
.326 (14-for-43) early for the
Phillies. The 21-year-old also
has one home run, two dou-
bles and five RBI. He was
signed by Philadelphia as a
non-drafted free agent in
2006.
7. Justin De Fratus, RHP,
TBA: The 24-year-old is cur-
rently rehabbing a strained
right elbow and could begin
work in extended Spring
Training soon. Once complet-
ed, he might be in line for a
callup to Philadelphias bull-
pen. If thats not in the
cards, he will probably land
in Lehigh Valley.
8. Freddy Galvis, infielder,
Philadelphia: Due to injuries
to Chase Utley and Michael
Martinez, Galvis has found a
starting role with the Phil-
lies at second base. He is
hitting .244 with one home
run and five RBI for Phila-
delphia in 14 games.
9. Maikel Franco, third
base, Lakewood (Class A):
Only 19, he could end up
being one of the next top
hitters in the organization.
Hes batting .263 with two
home runs and six RBI in 15
games for the BlueClaws.
10. Jonathan Pettibone,
RHP, Reading (Double-A):
Yet another starting pitcher
with promise for the orga-
nization, the 21-year-old is
1-1 with a 2.95 ERA in three
starts for Reading so far this
season. He doesnt strike out
many hitters, but hes only
walked four in 18
1
3 innings
this season.

Impressive starts
for pitching class
Here are the Philadelphia Phillies
top 10 Prospects according to
MLB.com and how they are faring
to date in the 2012 season.
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
drosengrant@timesleader.com
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees got off to a more than
impressive start to the 2009
season.
The season started on April
10 and the Yankees started with
a bang, winning their first 11
games, which was an Interna-
tional League record for fastest
start. It is also the longest win-
ning streak in franchise history.
The record-breaking victory
came on April 19, 2009.
Unfortunately, the team had
to lose a game eventually. The

Pitching prospects
getting roughed up
Here are the New York Yankees
Top 10 prospects according to
MLB.com.
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
Russ Canzler, Hazleton Area,
Columbus (Cleveland, Triple-
A): Traded
from Tampa
Bay to Cleve-
land in the off-
season, Can-
zler was in
contention for
a spot with the
Indians in
Spring Train-
ing until the final week in Arizo-
na.
For Columbus so far this sea-
son, the reigning International
League Most Valuable Player
has gottenoff toa slowstart, hit-
ting just .176 (9-for-51) with just
two doubles and three RBI for
the Clippers. For the Indians
this spring, he batted .268 (11-
for-41) in 16 games.
Corey Spangenberg, Abing-
ton Heights, Lake Elsinore (San
Diego, Class A advanced): After
getting off to a
torrid start in
the Northwest
League after
being drafted
10th overall by
the Padres,
hes struggled
in the Califor-
nia League
late last season and to start
2012.
The No. 6 overall prospect in
the Padres system according to
MLB.com is batting just .175
(10-for-57) in 15 games so far
this season, but he does have
five stolen bases in four tries.
Ray Black, Coughlin, San
Francisco (Extended Spring
Training): Drafted in the sev-
enth round (237th overall) out
of Pittsburgh
last June, the
right-handed
pitcher hasnt
made his pro-
fessional de-
but yet. He is
continuing to
work in ex-
tended Spring
Training in Arizona and is
ranked the No. 24 overall pros-
pect in the organization accord-
ing to Baseball America. Black
has been known to reach in the
high 90s with his fastball. He is
also listed as an Under the Ra-
dar player for the organization
according to MLB.com.
Rich Thompson, Montrose,
Lehigh Valley (Triple-A): The
33-year-old
who is in his
sixth season
with the Phil-
lies organiza-
tion is batting
.250 (8-for-32)
for the Iron-
Pigs early on.
He finished
last season for Lehigh Valley,
hitting .276 with five home
runs, eight triples and 48 stolen
bases.

Thats what I wanted to
go in there and prove, that I
was ready for that stage and
I could handle that pressure.
Hopefully I made a good
impression.
MONTERO GETTING TIME
In 2010 and 2011, Jesus
Montero was the star of the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees, smacking 39 homers
combined in those two sea-
sons as the organizations No.
1 overall prospect. He has
since been traded to Seattle
and is getting a lot of playing
time in the majors with the
Mariners as designated hitter
and catcher.
So far, hes batting .261 in
13 games with two home
runs and seven RBI. He hit
his first home run for his
new team on April 14 when
he went 2-for-3 with three
RBI against Oakland. He got
his fourth start at catcher for
Seattle on Friday night
against the White Sox, when
he also smacked his second
long ball of the season.
CONTINUING THE
SUCCESS
Arizonas Ian Kennedy isnt
dropping off from his 21-win
season and fourth-place show-
ing in the National League
Cy Young race in 2011. The
right-hander, who went 7-4 in
parts of three seasons for the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees, is already 2-0 this sea-
son for the Diamondbacks
with a 3.86 ERA in three
starts.
He earned a no-decision in
his last start on Tuesday
against the Pirates when he
allowed four earned runs in
six innings. It was just the
sixth time in two seasons
that the righty allowed four
or more runs in one game for
Arizona and the first since
Sept. 13 last season.
When Adam Warren had a
terrible start to the season
with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre,
something didnt seem right.
Maybe he was still coming
off a high from being in
Spring Training with the big
club for a long period of
time. Or maybe it was just
the first start of the year.
Either way, the six runs he
allowed in just three innings
wasnt a typical Adam Warren
outing as it was the worst
performance of his career
with SWB.
His last two starts have
been more like the 24-year-
old righty. On April 14, he
allowed just two runs in 6
1
3
innings. He followed that by
giving up just one run on
four hits in six innings to
pick up his second win of the
season on Thursday against
Rochester.
I think the first start I was
trying to get into a rhythm,
Warren told the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Above the Plate
Blog. The second one I felt
much better and had better
fastball command, which is
good for me. I think that first
one, I just kind of throw that
one away in my head and
then really focus on the sec-
ond one as far as getting the
fastball command down and
doing what I need to do to
get the ball across the plate.
Being in his second big
league camp, Warren wasnt
as nervous this time around
and it showed as he went 1-0
with one save in five appear-
ances for New York, only
allowing eight earned runs in
15 innings. He also struck out
eight and allowed one walk.
It was my second big
league spring training and I
was a lot more relaxed and
wasnt worried about where I
need to be or that sort of
thing, Warren said. I did
what I needed to do to get
myself ready. It was a lot of
fun and even the coaches
told me I looked more re-
laxed and handed the sit-

BOSTON Nick Swisher
hit a grand slam to help the
New York Yankees erase a
nine-run deficit, then he added
a two-run double to give them
the lead as they posted back-to-
back seven-run innings to beat
Boston 15-9 on Saturday and
send the Red Sox to their fifth
straight loss.
A day after Red Sox starter
Clay Buchholz gave up five
homers and the Yankees
spoiled Fenway Parks 100th
anniversary party, Boston
chased New York starter Fred-
dy Garcia after 1 2-3 innings
and opened a 9-0 lead through
five. But Mark Teixeira home-
red twice, the second a three-
run shot in the seven-run sev-
enth that cut the deficit to 9-8.
Swisher hit a two-run double
off the center field wall in the
eighth to make it 10-8. Teixeira,
who homered from both sides
of the plate for the 13th time in
his career, and Swisher each
had six RBIs.
Rays 4, Twins 1
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
James Shields carried a three-
hitter into the ninth inning,
B.J. Upton had a key two-run
single and the Tampa Bay Rays
beat the Minnesota Twins.
Shields (3-0) allowed one
run and five hits over eight-
plus innings while winning his
third consecutive start after
getting a no-decision on open-
ing day against the New York
Yankees.
Rangers 10, Tigers 4
Tigers 3, Rangers 2
DETROIT Justin Verlan-
der pitched six innings without
allowing an earned run, and
the Detroit Tigers salvaged a
split of their doubleheader
with Texas, beating the Rang-
ers 3-2 in the nightcap.
Texas routed the Tigers 10-4
in the first game for its eighth
consecutive victory, but Verlan-
der (2-1) held off the powerful
Rangers, allowing four hits and
three walks while striking out
eight. The Rangers managed
an unearned run in the fourth,
but Detroit answered with
three runs in the bottom of the
inning against Neftali Feliz
(1-1).
Blue Jays 9, Royals 5
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Col-
by Rasmus hit two home runs
to help make Drew Hutchison
a winner in his major league
debut and the Toronto Blue
Jays handed the Kansas City
Royals their ninth straight loss.
Edwin Encarnacion also
homered and drove in three
runs for the Blue Jays.
Hutchison, who had never
pitched above Double-A, left
after 99 pitches and 5 1-3 in-
nings, allowing five runs and
eight hits, including two home-
rs. Hutchison became the
eighth youngest starting pitch-
er in Blue Jays history at 21
years, 243 days.

Yankees comeback
has Sox stumbling
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Ruben Teja-
da scored the winning run on a
throwing error by catcher
Buster Posey and the New
York Mets beat the San Fran-
cisco Giants 5-4 Saturday after
blowing a three-run lead mo-
ments earlier in one of the
wackiest ninth innings imagin-
able.
Mike Pelfrey tossed eight
terrific innings, and it appeared
the Mets were headed to a
fairly simple victory. They
were leading 4-2 with two outs
in the top of the ninth when
Jon Rauch came out of the
bullpen and got pinch-hitter
Brandon Belt to hit a high
popup to shallow center.
Tejada had trouble with it
immediately, though, fighting
to get under the ball behind
shortstop as it swirled around
in the wind. Rookie center
fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis came
rushing in and overran the ball,
which dropped behind him for
a two-run double.
Padres 5, Phillies 1
SAN DIEGO Cory Luebke
outpitched Roy Halladay and
San Diego beat Philadelphia,
snapping the Phillies 13-game
winning streak at Petco Park.
Luebke (2-1) held the Phil-
lies to two hits in eight innings,
struck out five and walked two.
Cubs 6, Reds 1
CHICAGO Paul Maholm
pitched six solid innings to
earn his first win in nine
months and the Chicago Cubs
beat the Cincinnati Reds to
stop a six-game slide.
Nationals 3, Marlins 2
WASHINGTON Ian Des-
mond hit a home run and had
the game-winning sacrifice fly
in the 10th inning to lift the
Washington Nationals to a win
against the Florida Marlins.
Pirates 2, Cardinals 0
PITTSBURGH A.J. Bur-
nett pitched three-hit ball for
seven innings in his injury-
delayed Pittsburgh debut and
the Pirates beat the St. Louis
Cardinals 2-0 on Saturday
night.
Braves 3, Diamondbacks 2
PHOENIX Tommy Han-
son pitched seven strong in-
nings, Dan Uggla homered and
the streaking Atlanta Braves
beat the Arizona Diamond-
backs.
Brewers 9, Rockies 4
MILWAUKEE Ryan Braun
broke out of a slump with a
solo homer and two RBIs,
helping the Milwaukee Brew-
ers beat the Colorado Rockies.
Dodgers 5, Astros 1
HOUSTON Matt Kemp
set a franchise record for home
runs through 15 games with his
ninth of the season to back up
a solid outing by Clayton Ker-
shaw and the Los Angeles
Dodgers got a win over the
Houston Astros.

STATE COLLEGE Competi-
tiveness is somethingthat is inher-
ent withspring practices.
Typically, its between the play-
ers. In Bill OBriens coaching
scheme, it seems tohavefilteredto
the coaching staff.
Case in point: OBrien said the
NittanyLionsdisplayedjust10per-
cent of their offense at the Blue-
WhiteGameonSaturday. Inanon-
going contest of one-upmanship,
first-year defensive coordinator
countered, joking that the defense
only showedeight percent.
Breedingcompetitionremains a
fundamental component of
OBriens off-season technique.
Addedincentivefromthecoaching
staff will encouragewide-openbat-
tles for starting spots at the quar-
terback, secondary and receiving
positions.
Three months into the OBrien
era, playersandcoachessaytheen-
couragement is paying off.
The players are really buying
it, offensive line coach Mac
McWhortersaid. Mygrouphasre-
ally embraced me, really worked
with what I want to do, and the
temperament that I have and all
that. SoIvebeenpleasedwiththat,
and I think thats the case with all
the other coaches.
The competitive balance begins
in the weight room. Senior corner-
back Stephon Morris claims the
new workouts are more intense.
Junior cornerback Curtis Drake
said the team has been working
more with free weights than in the
past.
According to junior wide receiv-
er Shawney Kersey, first-year
strength and conditioning coach
Craig Fitzgerald created an envi-
ronment that has players pairing
off against eachother intheweight
room.
In the weight room, Fitz is
great, Kersey said. There is com-
petitioninthere. Theyevenmadea
highlight video of us lifting so we
canwatchit inthe weight room.
The rivalries in the locker room
reflect the newlook coaching staff
that took over in the winter.
McWhorter claimedthe coaches
all of whom, except Larry Johnson
and Ron Vanderlinden, are in their
first years at Penn State exhibit
their own personal cutthroat men-
talities.
Everyone in this business is
competitive; by nature, youre that
way, McWhorter said. Now the
good thing with this staff is that
there are a lot of veteran coaches.
There is one thing about competi-
tion, and theres another thing to
have competitionandmakingsure
youre growing andgetting better.
I think the coaching staff is
smart enough to understand that
sometimes there is a win-win
wherethisisnot awinnerandalos-
er all the time as long as youre
getting better.
The spotlight in the offseason
will focusonthequarterbackbattle
betweenMattMcGloin, Paul Jones
and Rob Bolden. OBrien said the
quarterbacks are learning a new
system, andthat he will make a de-
cision on who the top two quarter-
backs are after lookingat the tapes
fromthe Blue-White Game.
McGloinemphasizedtheeduca-
tional foundation of the newstaffs
coachingtechniques. Withanother
tight competition, theScrantonna-
tive he is focused on learning from
his professional staff rather than
who is practicing beside him.
You learn how to actually play
the game of football understand-
ing coverages, understanding
fronts, what linebackers are doing,
getting us out of badplays, putting
us into good plays. Thats really
what they are teaching us, how to
play the game the right way.

Penn State head coach Bill
OBrien answers a question
after Saturdays Blue-White
Game.
By JAY MONAHAN
For the Times Leader
STATECOLLEGE The first
fewdrives of the spring game are
hardly a guarantee of howthe
depth chart will shake out in the
fall. But they did give a glimpse
into who could have the inside
track to the starting jobs.
On offense, Matt McGloin
took the first snaps at quarter-
back in Saturdays Blue-White
Game. With Silas Redd in the
backfield, Penn State opened
with a three-wide look with
Justin Brown, Allen Robinson
and Christian Kuntz split out
and true freshman Jesse James
lined up at tight end.
The offensive line, fromleft to
right, was AdamGress, Miles
Dieffenbach, Matt Stankiewitch,
John Urschel and Donovan
Smith.
Fromthat group, obviously
the quarterback battle will con-
tinue on into the fall. The receiv-
ers and tight ends are equally up
in the air, save for Justin Brown
as the top target.
Kuntz has seen only a handful
of snaps in his career and the
Lions will likely utilize speed-
sters Devon Smith and Alex
Kenney both out with injuries
Saturday more in the fall.
Robinson, however, stood out
Saturday, leading the scrimmage
with three catches for 87 yards.
He worked his way into games a
bit last season as a true fresh-
man.
Asimilarly large rotation is to
be expected at tight end with
coach Bill OBrien utilizing
plenty of two-tight end sets. The
6-foot-7 teenager James had two
grabs on Saturday.
People have asked me about
the tight ends over and over
again because of the success we
had the last two years in New
England, OBrien said. But
every year is different, every
teamis different, so were still
evaluating this team. And well
spread the ball to the tight ends,
the receivers, the backs. Hopeful-
ly itll be very balanced.
On the line, Smith is battling
with senior Mike Farrell for the
starting right tackle job.
Shifting over to defense, Sean
Stanley and Pete Massaro book-
ended Jordan Hill and DaQuan
Jones on the line.
Behind themwere regular
starters Gerald Hodges and
Glenn Carson at linebacker,
joined by Mike Hull on the weak-
side, with Michael Mauti and
Khairi Fortt sitting out.
I feel very good about our
front seven on defense, OBrien
said. I think weve got eight to
10 defensive linemen that can all
rotate in there and play, obvi-
ously led by Jordan Hill. Hes one
of the better inside defensive
tackles that Ive been around.
I feel good about our line-
backing corps. We havent seen
Mike Mauti. Hes coming back
for training camp, and were
really looking forward to having
himback on the field.
The secondary continues to be
a work in progress. Stephon
Morris and Curtis Drake were
the first-teamcornerbacks with
MalcolmWillis and Jake Fagna-
no at safety.
Sophomore Adrian Amos,
who played corner last season as
a true freshman, was working as
a second-teamsafety and came
up with an interception.
Its not the deepest position
on the team, but there are guys
there that can play football,
OBrien said.
Infirmary report
Walk-on linebacker T.J. Rhatti-
gan left Saturdays game with
what appeared to be a serious
knee injury, which has been
something of an epidemic for the
Lions at the position.
Earlier this week senior line-
backer James Van Fleet suffered
what the teamfears could be a
torn ACL. Mauti and Fortt were
both already missing while reco-
vering fromknee injuries.
T.J. Rhattigan had a knee
today, OBrien said. Imnot
sure what it is. Didnt look great.
Great kid. Felt terrible for him.
James Van Fleet the other day
in practice, a knee. Imnot sure
exactly what that is because the
swelling theres a lot of swell-
ing there, but great kid. Felt
terrible for him, too.
Honor roll
Penn State handed out its
annual spring awards at halftime
on Saturday with a pair of se-
niors being named the teams
most improved players.
Morris won the JimOHora
Award as the most improved on
defense and Stankiewitch

Lineups give glimpse
into fall possibilities

N O T E S
sophomore season. After the
Penn State coaching staff insist-
ed all week McGloin would get
to split snaps with fellowsignal-
callers Rob Bolden and Kevin
Newsome in the 2010 season
opener, McGloin didnt get in
that game until the final series.
Then McGloin spent a good
part of last season rotating with
Bolden, sometimes every other
series, and stewing inside as he
stood on the sideline while
believing he was the best man
for the job all along.
All McGloin did when hes
been handed the reigns to Penn
States offense is produce some
of the teams most enthralling
moments of the past two sea-
sons.
McGloin came on in relief to
rescue Penn State at home and
personally hand the late Joe
Paterno his 400th career victory
over Northwestern in 2010.
Fromthere, McGloin became
the first quarterback in school
history to throwfor back-to-
back 300-yard games while
rallying a mediocre Lions team
to the Outback Bowl.
Even with his five intercep-
tions in a 37-24 loss to Florida in
that bowl, McGloin gave the
Lions a shot at an upset with his
211passing yards seventh-best
by a Penn State quarterback in a
bowl game and with a touch-
down throwand touchdown
run.
He got the start for the final
five games of last season, and
not only made Paterno the win-
ningest coach in major college
football history with a last-gasp
touchdown drive to beat Illinois,
but went to Ohio State and
picked up a rare victory at the
Horseshoe.
So forgive McGloin if he felt
overlooked at times and over-
scrutinized at others by Pa-
ternos coaching staff.
Last year, if I didnt play well
on Tuesday, I didnt knowif I
was going to play on Saturday,
McGloin said.
He cant be sure hell play at
all this season.
But at least now, McGloin
feels as if hes in a fairer fight.
When newPenn State head
coach Bill OBrien was hired to
pick up the pieces of a program
torn apart by the Jerry Sand-
usky scandal, the newguy left
the old game films in the past.
I thought it was great,
McGloin said. You cant eval-
uate the quarterbacks on a sys-
temyou didnt run. Last years
offense wasnt great at all. He
wanted to start everybody off on
a clean slate.
Saturdays Blue-White Game
was only a start, and a long way
fromthe beginning of the 2012
college football season. But
McGloin started with the first
team, and looked quite comfort-
able executing a systemOBrien
ran when he was the offensive
coordinator for the NewEn-
gland Patriots last year.
We might have two or three
plays called before we break he
huddle, McGloin said. Its
your job as a quarterback to get
us into the right play and the
right spots.
He was talking about an up-
coming season of audilbles,
where the quarterback changes
the play and calls one more to
his liking at the line of scrim-
mage moments before he takes
the snap.
Howmany times did THAT
happen in Paternos offense last
year?
Probably less than five,
McGloin laughed. We might
audible five times in one series
this year. We have a lot of differ-
ent things, a lot of different
plays.
For McGloin, it really hasnt
changed.
He will go into spring ball
trying to beat out Bolden and
strong-armed Paul Jones for the
starting quarterback job.
Ill probably be looked at like
the underdog once again, for
some reason, McGloin sighed.
He wouldnt have it any other
way.

guys made some plays today.
And I have to reiterate, all
three of these guys, weve asked a
lot of them. Weve asked them to
learna systemthats totallydiffer-
ent than anything theyve ever
learned, and that takes time. And
different guys learn at different
rates. Someguysget it right away,
other guys get it thenext day, oth-
er guys get it two days fromnow.
Sowehavetolet it soakalittle
bit, let it soak for ourselves as a
staff, and then well make a deci-
sion headed into training camp
on who were going with or who
the top two are.
McGloinexits the springas the
closest thing there is to a favorite
in this race. The Scranton native
went 6-for-13 for 105 yards and a
touchdown. Jones was 6-of-15 for
113 yards anda score. Boldenwas
7-of-14 for 78 yards and displayed
some of the same woes that ham-
pered himlast season.
And just like last spring, both
McGloin and Bolden said they
felt confident they would come
out on top for the job in the fall.
Jones, who was academically
ineligible last season and re-
vealed that he considered trans-
ferring to a junior college as a re-
sult, was more laid back, saying
that his opinion didnt matter --
only OBriens did.
What all three could agree on
was that they appreciated how
OBrien and new quarterbacks
coach Charlie Fisher were run-
ning the competition, compared
to the uncertainty they felt under
Joe and Jay Paterno.
Theyre telling you what
youre doing wrong and telling
you where youre at everyday,
McGloinsaidof OBrienandFish-
er. That hasnt happened (be-
fore).
Absolutely, Bolden said.
Coach, he straight up tells you
what youvegottado. Youvegotta
learn the offense first. Youve got-
talead. Youvegottadoall thesim-
ple things that a quarterback
shoulddo. Andif youdont, youre
not going to be the guy.
As shown in Saturdays scrim-
mage, however, the offense is be-
hind the defense. That, OBrien
said, was to be expected.
Defensive backs Adrian Amos,
Jesse Della Valle andDevinPryor
came up with interceptions,
along with linebacker Ben Kline
and defensive tackle Jordan Hill.
Up front, C.J. Olaniyan record-
ed three sacks, including two of
Paul Jones on back-to-back plays.
Brad Bars also had a pair of sacks
and finished with four tackles for
loss.
Starting middle linebacker
Glenn Carson led the defense
with eight total tackles.
On offense, Bill Belton and
Zach Zwinak scored touchdowns
on the ground while Christian
Kuntzandwalk-ontight endMatt
Lehman caught scores from
McGloin and Jones, respectively.
Belton, who played receiver as
a true freshman last season, led
theoffensewith50yardsonseven
carries. Fellow sophomore Allen
Robinson led the wideouts with
three grabs for 87 yards.
In all, OBrien said he was
pleasedwithhowthe newformat
worked out, with the offense and
defense earning points based on
big plays.
One of many changes sure to
come.
I thought it went well,
OBrien said. Theres a bunch of
points on the scoreboard, and I
think one of the main things I
wanted to do there was reward
the defense for good plays. And
obviously they made a lot of good
plays today.
I felt it was pretty good, and I
thinkit wasexcitingforthefansat
times. Im not saying it was the
most exciting game in the world,
but I saidit wasnt going to be the
most exciting game in the world.
It was great to see all the fans out
there, and I think it was a good
day for Penn State football.
Penn State announced the at-
tendance for OBriens first Blue-
White game at an estimated
60,000.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. Greg
Biffle leads the Sprint Cup stand-
ings. Hes comingoff a latepass of
Jimmie Johnson to win at Texas
and is now headed to Kansas
Speedway, where hes won twice.
Everything seems to indicate
that Biffle is on top of his game.
Hes not so sure hes even tops
on his team.
The often-overlooked driver at
Roush-Fenway Racing still be-
lieves that title belongs to Carl
Edwards, who became the poster
boy for the organization during a
dream 2008 season. But its the
former Trucks and Nationwide
champion who has dominated
this year, with top-3 finishes the
first three races and a sixth-place
runat California a fewweeks ago.
I still think the 99 is the No. 1
team at Roush. Im the under-
dog, Biffle said, his face not for a
moment giving the impression
that hes kidding.
Edwards, who is 11th in points,
had a different opinion.
Right now, Greg is the No. 1
teamthe16 teamis, Edwards
said, because theyre leadingthe
points and winning races.
Biffle, who qualified 17th for
Sundays race, has finished no
worse than 13th this season. He
has a 19-point lead in the stand-
ings over teammate Matt Ken-
seth and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The strong showings early in
the season seem to validate a
number of changes to the No. 16
team that owner Jack Roush
made after last season. Biffle fin-
ished16th in the points and went
the entire year without a Sprint
Cup win for only the second time
in his career.
Weve run competitively at ev-
ery venue, Biffle said. The
short tracks weve been pretty re-
spectable. At this point I feel
good about improving on all
those fronts, just getting a little
better than we are now.
The No. 16 team was about as
good as could be last weekend.
He ran near the front at Texas
most of the race before making a
pass of five-time champion John-
sonwith30 laps remaining. Biffle
pulled away down the stretch to
snap a 49-race drought and give
himself a boost of confidence
heading to one of his favorite
tracks.
It was certainly kind of a relief
to finally get to Victory Lane, he
said.
The 42-year-old driver under-
stands his window for winning a
title is rapidly closing.
Hes come close before, win-
ning six races in 2005 and finish-
ing second to Tony Stewart by a
mere 35 points. But since then he
hasnt been able to put every-
thing together as he did when he
won the Trucks title in 2000 and
the Nationwide championship in
2002.
No driver has won both of
those series along with a Sprint
Cup title.
I feel the urgency because Im
ready to win it, Biffle said.
Biffle doesnt believe the ex-
pectations placed on him were
unrealistic when he arrived in
NASCARs marquee series. He
does acknowledge the competi-
tion was tougher than he expect-
ed.
I feel better than I ever have in
these past five seasons, the way
our team is and how competitive
we are, he said.

Biffle doesnt view himself as Roushs top gun
Buescher wins Trucks race
KANSAS CITY, Kan. James Buescher passed Brad Keselowski
with 10 laps remaining Saturday and pulled away to win his first
career Trucks series race at Kansas Speedway.
Buescher had the fastest truck most of the afternoon but lost the
lead on the final round of pit stops. He elected to take four tires
while Keselowski took only two, and that allowed him to power by
the Sprint Cup regular and wrap up his first series win.
The 22-year-old Buescher won his first NASCAR race in the
Nationwide series at Daytona earlier this season but had been
winless in 75 starts in the Trucks series over four-plus years.
Points leader Timothy Peters also got around Keselowski and
finished second in the SFP 250. Nelson Piquet Jr. finished fourth and
Todd Bodine was fifth.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Ever-
ett Golson threw for two touch-
downs in Notre Dames quarter-
back competition during the
Fighting Irishs spring game
Saturday.
Tommy Rees, Andrew Hen-
drix and Gunner Kiel each had
an interception.
Coach Brian Kelly elected to
rotate Rees, Hendrix and Gol-
son on alternating possessions
in the first half and then allowed
Kiel to run all the plays in the
16-minute running clock second
half. Kiel was 5 of 9 for 57 yards.
Golson completed 11 of 15
passes for 120 yards and ran for
25 yards on six carries. Rees was
7 of 14 for 84 yards and Hendrix
was 4 of 9 for 51 yards and a
touchdown. George Atkinson III
ran for 124 yards but fumbled
twice. Notre Dame had six turn-
overs, not what Kelly wanted to
see after emphasizing protect-
ing the ball all spring.
Defense winner at Syracuse
SYRACUSE, N.Y. Defen-
sive tackle Jay Bromley had a
sack for a safety and forced a
fumble that was returned 17
yards for a score by Brandon
Sharpe as the Syracuse defense
shined in a 9-0 win in the Or-
anges spring game.
Freshman quarterback Ashton
Broyld did not take any snaps at
the position, playing tailback
instead as coaches work him in
slowly. He did have one comple-
tion on a throwback pass, and
on the next play, he gained 44
yards on a pretty catch-and-run.
Wideout Marcus Sales return-
ed after missing all of 2011 be-
cause of legal problems and
caught two passes for 68 yards,
while Jeremiah Kobena had
three receptions for 55 yards.
Smith, Bryant lead Scarlet
to Ohio St spring win
COLUMBUS, Ohio Rod
Smith ran for a 7-yard touch-
down in the final minutes and
Christian Bryant made it stand
up with a late interception to
lead the Scarlet to a 20-14 victo-
ry over the Gray in Ohio States
annual spring scrimmage, which
featured a first glimpse of new
coach Urban Meyers hurry-up
offense.
The crowd was announced as
81,112 on a misty, overcast day
at Ohio Stadium, although there
appeared to be far, far fewer in
attendance.
Smith scored shortly after a
penalty had wiped away quarter-
back Braxton Millers second
interception of the game.
Kenny Guiton, calling signals
for the Gray, had given his team
its first lead late in the third
quarter on a 4-yard run. But
Bryant intercepted Guiton to
thwart Grays final threat.
Arkansas Wilson shines
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.
Arkansas ended a chaotic spring
caused by the firing of coach
Bobby Petrino with a scrim-
mage that showed the Razor-
backs still have reasons to be
hopeful for a good season.
Tyler Wilson was 31-of-41
passing for 467 yards and three
touchdowns to lead the Red
team to a 65-0 win over the
White in the spring game.
Petrino was fired April 10
following the revelation that he
hired his mistress to a position
in the football program and had
paid her $20,000. Arkansas did
its best to put Petrino behind it
Saturday, taking the field in
front of an announced crowd of
45,250 besting last seasons
previous best of 42,000.
Wilson threw for 404 yards in
the first half. He connected on
two touchdown passes to Chris
Gragg.

Thunderstorms and lightning

the game was canceled about 90

Apopular
local mountain
biking route is
pretty much
ready for the
season after
suffering some
damage during
last years flooding.
The Susquehanna Warrior
Trail, which runs along the river
fromPPL Riverlands north to
the drive-in at Hunlock Creek,
has recovered.
Well, maybe, has been nursed
back to health is more appro-
piate.
According to Julie McMo-
nagle, president of the Susque-
hanna Warrior Trail Council, a
bit of work went into rehabing
the trail.
Weve had quite a fewvolun-
teers out there (cleaning up),
McMonagle said.
The cleanup efforts pro-
gressed well enough for the
group to hold a 5Krace on the
trail earlier this month. More
than 200 people turned out for
the event.
It was an impressive effort
when you look at the pictures of
the damage done that are posted
on the councils website.
Still McMonagle added there
still may be some parts of the
trail that have yet to have all the
mud removed, so be prepared if
you plan on riding it.
But really, you will be on a
mountain bike, so whats the big
deal about a little mud?
McMonagle had even more
good news for those who use the
park.
The Susquehanna Warrior
Trail Council is teaming with the
Pennsylvania Environmental
Council in hopes of extending
the trail further north.
To that end, a group of volun-
teers were out Saturday cleaning
up a section of trail in the Avan-
dale section of Plymouth Town-
ship.
The biggest problemin the
area isnt flood damage but ille-
gal dumping.
The group hopes that gates set
to be installed in the area will
eliminate that problem.
If everything goes well and
funding is available, the trail
should be extended sometime in
the next year.
And even if the funding isnt
available now, an expansion of
the trail is definitely on the hori-
zon.
Bad news fromLevi
Levi Leipheimer may just be
the unluckiest professional cy-
clist in the world right now.
First, Leipheimer lost a
chance to win the storied Paris-
Nice race earlier this year when,
on the next to last stage, he
crashed into a parked police
motorcycle. (Just so you dont
think Leipheimer wasnt paying
attention to where he was going,
the police motorcycle was
parked around a blind corner
where Leipheimer and his team-
mates couldnt see it until they
were actually running into the
bike.
Then, a fewweeks later, Lei-
pheimer was hit frombehind by
a car while on a training ride. At
the time, he said he felt lucky to
be alive. The 38-year-old pro
ended up with a fractured left
fibula.
Nowthe San Jose Mercury
News is reporting that Leipheim-
ers recovery fromthe car crash
is going slower than expected,
putting his appearance in the
Tour of California in serious
doubt.
Leipheimer is a three-time
champion of the event, which
begins May13 in Leipheimers
hometown of Santa Rosa, Calif.
The Tour of California was
one of the objectives for my
season, Leipheimer told the
paper. At this point, merely
participating will be a success. I
will put in my best effort to man-
age to be on the starting line,
even though it wont be easy.
Heres hoping he makes it.

HARVEYS LAKE Born-
fase Nyandusi Omurwa and
Kelly Ciravolo ran to victo-
ries in the 8.1-mile Run
Around Harveys Lake on
Saturday.
Omurwa, a 28-year-old Ke-
nya native who now lives in
Kingston, broke the tape in
46 minutes and 58 seconds.
Sean Robbins, 42, of Shaver-
town, the areas top male
triathlete, finished second
in 48:30. John Martino, 27,
of Dallas placed third, 31
seconds behind Robbins.
I ran behind the lead
pack until we went over the
bridge, Omurwa said.
Then I moved in front.
It actually didnt take long
at all before Omurwa took
the lead.
The bridge is less than a
quarter of a mile into the
race, Robbins said. (Omur-
wa) set a strong, steady
pace after we crossed the
bridge. Hes a great runner
smooth. (Omurwa) ac-
tually caught the leader,
(Martino), just before the 1-
mile marker. After that, he
was gone.
Omurwa said that he felt
that the head wind may have
slowed him up a bit.
I really didnt get going
until I reached Mile 7,
Omurwa said. At that
point, the wind was calm.
Thats when I picked up my
pace quite a bit. Then I was
running alone to the finish.
Robbins ran in third place
throughout most of the race.
He finally tracked down
Martino at Mile 7 and
moved into second-place.
(Martino) is a really good
short distance runner, Rob-
bins said. If this had been a
short race, I dont believe I
would have caught him. But
he seemed to fade around
Mile 7. And thats when I
was able to pass him.
Ciravolo, 32, of Shaver-
town, who is the areas top
female triathlete, won the
female division in wire-to-
wire fashion, clocking in at
49:58. Deedra Porfirio, 35,
of West Pittston finished
second in 53:59. Jenn Swi-
derski, 25, of Kingston fin-
ished third in 56:29.
My goal coming into the
race was to break 50, Cira-
volo said. And I did that. So
Im happy about that. I was
testing my legs today be-
cause Im running in the Le-
high Valley Half-Marathon
next Sunday (April 29).
Obviously her legs were
just fine.
I ran with one guy
throughout most of the
race, Ciravolo said. I
picked it up a bit over the
final mile.
Greg Bassham won the 5K
run easily.
The 53-year-old from
Mountain Top broke the
tape in 19:35. Mike La-
Baugh, 22, of Dallas finished
second, 1:56 behind Bass-
ham.
I went out like a jackrab-
bit, Bassham said. I moved
into the lead at about the
halfway point. After that, I
just tried to maintain my
pace and stay loose.
Actually, Bassham was
never challenged after he
took the lead.
Jen Gregoris, a 34 year-old
from East Stroudsburg, won
top female honors in the 5K,
finishing fourth overall in
23:17.
I passed a young girl just
before the 1-mile marker and
moved into the lead, said
Gregoris, who only started
running 13 months ago and
is already training for her
first marathon (Run for the
Red Marathon in the Poco-
nos on May 20).
Proceeds from the race go
to area adoption services.

Omurwa triumphs at Lake
By ROBERT MINER
For The Times Leader
SAN ANTONIO Ben Cur-
tis remained in position for his
first PGA Tour victory since
2006 despite his first stumbles
at the Texas Open, shooting a
1-over 73 on Saturday to take a
three-stroke lead into the final
round.
Curtis, who climbed atop the
leaderboard with two bogey-
free rounds, had a 9-under 207
total on TPC San Antonios
Oaks Course.
Matt Every was second after
a 73 in a bid for his first PGA
Tour victory. Mayakoba winner
John Huh (67), Seung-Yui Noh
(68) and Charlie Wi (71) fol-
lowed at 4 under.
Curtis preserved his lead
despite two double bogeys,
including one on No. 8 that
had the 2003 British Open
champion hitting from a neigh-
boring fairway. He rallied with
four birdies to hold off the
pack.
LEGENDS OF GOLF
SAVANNAH, Ga. David
Frost and Michael Allen birdied
nine of the first 13 holes and
combined for a 9-under 63 for a
share of the second-round lead
with Tom Purtzer and Brad
Bryant in the Legends of Golf.
Bryant and Allen had a 65 to
match Frost and Allen at 19
under at The Club at Savannah
Harbor.
Gil Morgan and Tom Kite
(61), Bobby Clampett and Andy
North (62), Jay Haas and Fred
Couples (63), and Jeff Sluman
and Brad Faxon (64) were a
stroke back.

TIANJIN, China South
Africas Branden Grace shot an
8-under 64 to take a three-shot
lead over defending champion
Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium
after the third round of the
China Open.
The 23-year-old Grace, the
winner of consecutive Europe-
an Tour events in South Africa
in January, had an 18-under 198
total at Binhai Lake. Colsearts,
the winner last year at Luxe-
hills, shot a 66.
The event is sanctioned by

Curtis slips,
but keeps
Texas lead
PHOENIX Now that the
Denver Nuggets are in the
playoffs for the ninth consec-
utive season, there will be no
letting up for the final three
games of the regular season.
Coach George Karl wants his
young team to gain some mo-
mentum, and theres still a
chance to pass Dallas for the
No. 6 spot in the Western Con-
ference.
Ty Lawson went 5 of 5 on
3-pointers and had 29 points
and 10 assists to lead Denver
to the playoff-clinching 118-107
victory over the Phoenix Suns
on Saturday.
Denver pulled within a half-
game of Dallas, which played
at Chicago on Saturday night
and holds the tiebreaker over
Denver.
We have three games left
and we are going to try to win
all three of them There wont
be any rest going on here,
Karl said. We are not in that
mode. We are into getting
better and coming together. It
is a young team that will have
to learn how to win in the
playoffs. On the job training,
but it has been done before.
The Suns fell a half-game
behind Utah for the eighth and
final playoff spot in the West-
ern Conference. The Jazz
played at home against Orlando
on Saturday night. Phoenix
plays at Utah on Tuesday and
holds the tiebreaker over the
Jazz.
We got to go into Utah
tough environment, tough
atmosphere, tough team and
we got to win, said the Suns
Shannon Brown, who scored 28
points, including a career-best 6
3s in 12 attempts. Thats basi-
cally what it comes down to.
76ers 109, Pacers 106
INDIANAPOLIS Elton
Brand scored 20 points and
Lou Williams added 19 to help
the Philadelphia 76ers beat the
Pacers 109-106 in overtime,
stopping Indianas winning
streak at seven games.
Jrue Holiday scored 17 points
and Andre Iguodala added 16
for the 76ers, who inched clos-
er to clinching a playoff berth.
The 76ers left the game needi-
ng just a win or a loss by Mil-
waukee to clinch a spot.
Wizards 86, Heat 84
MIAMI LeBron James and
Chris Bosh sat out the game,
resting for the postseason.
Dwyane Wade played and got
hurt.
Wade lasted less than 3 min-
utes before dislocating his left
index finger, and without their
three stars, the Heat lost to the
woeful Washington Wizards.
Bulls 93, Mavericks 83
CHICAGO Luol Deng
scored 22 points, Richard Ha-
milton added 19 and the Chica-
go Bulls held off a fourth-quar-
ter rally to beat the Dallas
Mavericks.
The victory by the Bulls
(48-16) gave them a 2 1-2 game
lead over Miami for the top
seed in the Eastern Conference
playoffs. Chicago has two regu-
lar-season games left, against
Indiana and Cleveland.
Bulls star guard Derrick Rose
returned to the lineup after
sitting out three games with a
right foot/ankle injury and he
had 11 points with eight assists
in 32 minutes.
Grizzlies 93, Trail Blazers 89
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Rudy
Gay scored 21 points and had a
key block in the final seconds
as the Memphis Grizzlies won
their fourth straight.
Gay, who was 9 of 16 from
the field, blocked Wesley Mat-
thews 3-point attempt with
about 5 seconds left to seal the
win and send the short-handed
Trail Blazers to their fifth
straight loss.
Rockets 99, Warriors 96
HOUSTON Courtney Lee
scored 20 points, Goran Dragic
added 18 points and seven
assists and the Houston Rock-
ets snapped a six-game losing
streak with a win over the
Golden State Warriors.

Chase Budinger added 11 for
the Rockets, who came into the
game in the 10th spot in the
Western Conference, one game
behind Utah and Phoenix.

At the midway point of the
first period, Zach Sill made it 2-0
when he fired a bad angle shot
from the side over Sabourin.
Less than two minutes later,
McDonald made a pass to Jason
Williams in the slot. Williams
shot hit Sabourinandcame right
back out to Cody Wild, who was
trailing the play and slammed
the puck home to make it 3-0.
The Penguins capped off the
period with a power play goal at
17:00whenGeoff Walker deflect-
ed Williams shot from the point
to make it 4-0.
The guys are playing with a
clear mind and fast feet, Hynes
said of the Penguins hot starts.
Theyre ready to go right off the
bat.
Hershey scored twice in the
second period while the Pen-
guins Matt Rust connected to
maintain a three-goal lead head-
ed to the third period.
The Penguins built an insur-
mountable lead 13 minutes into
the third when Ben Street was
hooked from behind by Chris
Bourque during a shorthanded
breakaway and was awarded a
penalty shot.
Street converted the attempt
with a backhand shot inside the
post tomake it 6-2andtookaway
any hope Hershey had of a come-
back.
Not giving Hershey any rea-
son for optimism is something
the Penguins have done well dur-
ing the first two games.
You have to. Theyd do the
same thing to us, Wildsaid. Its
playoff hockey and no lead is
safe. We have to keep going and
score as many as we can.
Tensions rose at the end of the
third period when Hersheys Pa-
trick Wellar earned a major for a
slash and a game misconduct.
During the scrum that fol-
lowed, the Penguins came out
with a two-man advantage and
made the Bears pay with McDo-
nalds second tally and fourth
goal of the series.
Game 3 is in Hershey on
Wednesday and the Penguins
can close out the series with a
win.
Still, after dominant efforts on
Friday and Saturday, the Pen-
guins are being careful not to be-
come overconfident.
Youre never confident in the
middle of a playoff series,
Hynes said. We have to get bet-
ter and we knowwe have to play
our best hockey going into Her-
shey.

The Penguins Ryan Craig, right, celebrates the home teams second goal against Hershey in the first period of play Saturday at
Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza on Saturday night.
OUTBURST
NEW YORK Craig Anderson
stopped 41 shots to make Jason
Spezzas first-period goal stand up,
and the Ottawa Senators pushed the
top-seeded New York Rangers to the
brink of elimination with a 2-0 victo-
ry Saturday night in Game 5.
The Senators, the No. 8 seed in
the Eastern Conference, have won
two straight and will have a chance
to knock out the Rangers on Monday
night in Ottawa. If New York can
stay alive, the deciding Game 7
would be back at Madison Square
Garden on Thursday night.
Spezza added insurance by scoring
an empty-net goal with 55.3 seconds
remaining, and Anderson was perfect
in earning his second career NHL
playoff shutout. He stood tall in the
third period when the Rangers
pressed for the tying goal. Since
New York took a 2-0 lead in the first
period of its 3-2 overtime loss in
Game 4, Anderson has gone 116
minutes, 32 seconds without allow-
ing a goal.
Capitals 4, Bruins 3
BOSTON Troy Brouwer scored
on a power play with 1:27 left, giv-
ing the Washington Capitals a victo-
ry and moving the defending cham-
pion Boston Bruins a loss away from
elimination.
Brouwer gave the Capitals a 3-2
series lead with his second goal of
the playoffs, beating goalie Tim Tho-
mas over the glove with a wrist shot
from the right circle. It came with
37 seconds left on a slashing penalty
against Benoit Pouliot.
The Bruins, who trailed 2-0 and
3-2, tied it at 8:47 of the third period
on Johnny Boychuks goal.
The Capitals can wrap up the
best-of-seven series at home Sunday.
The Bruins have been in this pre-
dicament before. They trailed the
Vancouver Canucks 3-2 last year in
the Stanley Cup final, then won the
last two games on the road to cap-
ture their first title since 1972.
Washington took a 2-0 lead in the
second period on goals by Alexander
Semin at 11:16 and Jay Beagle at
14:27. That seemed to be a sizable
advantage in a series that featured
tight defense with each team scoring
only seven goals in the first four
games.
But the Bruins rallied with two
goals in 28 seconds late in the peri-
od to tie at 2. Dennis Seidenberg
scored with 2:39 left on a one-timer
from the right circle that got past
goalie Braden Holtby. And Brad
Marchand tied with 2:11 to go when
he poked the rebound through Holt-
bys legs after a shot from the right
point by Boychuk.
Washington regained the lead 3:21
into the third period when Mike
Knuble pounced on a rebound. Joel
Ward shot from 50 feet on the right
side and Thomas saved it. But the
goalie steered the puck to the left
side and couldnt slide over in time
to stop Knubles shot.
Boston rallied again when Boychuk
scored on a 50-footer from the left to
the far side past Holtbys glove.
Holtby finished with 34 saves, and
Thomas stopped 28 shots.
Panthers 3, Devils 0
SUNRISE, Fla. Kris Versteeg
scored a goal and set up another,
Jose Theodore made 30 saves for his
second postseason shutout, and the
Florida Panthers moved a win away
from their first series win in 16 years
with a victory over the New Jersey
Devils on Saturday night.
Scottie Upshall also scored for
Florida, which leads the Eastern
Conference first-round series 3-2. The
Panthers last series victory came in
the 1996 East finals, and theyll have
two chances to snap that drought.
Tomas Kopecky was credited with
an empty-net goal with 34 seconds
left, after Ilya Kovalchuk impeded his
clear path to the net.
Martin Brodeur made 30 saves for
New Jersey, which hosts a win-or-
else Game 6 on Tuesday night. If
necessary, Game 7 is at Florida on
Thursday night.

HELP THE HERONS
The Pennsylvania Game Com-
mission has launched its period-
ic colonial nesting waterbird
survey and is asking for the
publics assistance now through
the end of May. This survey is a
key tool to monitor heron and
egret populations and their
distribution in the state.
The survey focuses chiefly
on great blue herons, black-
crowned night-herons and yel-
low-crowned night-herons, all of
which are state Wildlife Action
Plan priority species, said Patti
Barber, Game Commission
endangered bird specialist.
Many heron colonies have been
identified across the Common-
wealth, and each needs to be
visited to update our informa-
tion. Residents may know about
additional colonies that need to
be surveyed to improve our
understanding of heron pop-
ulations and nesting colonies,
which can and have changed
suddenly in Pennsylvania.
We are primarily interested
in the location of colonies, num-
ber of active nests in a colony
and the type of habitat theyre
found in. Participants also are
asked to document threats to
colonies.
Great blue herons are listed as
a maintenance concern spe-
cies in the Pennsylvania Wildlife
Action Plan, because they are
fairly secure in Pennsylvania,
but for which the Pennsylvania
Biological Survey recommends
management attention. They
still are abundant and fairly
secure and serve as an indicator
for high-quality habitats.
Yellow-crowned and black-
crowned night-herons, both of
which are state-listed endan-
gered species, are listed as
Pennsylvania vulnerable in the
Pennsylvania Wildlife Action
Plan. These two species are
most at risk and are experi-
encing dramatic declines within
Pennsylvania, but are not at risk
at the regional, national or glob-
al level.
This survey is not new; its
conducted periodically about
once every five years, Barber
said. This appeal is being made
because participation of the
states birding community, as
well as the general public, will
strengthen the survey by provid-
ing better coverage of the Com-
monwealths more than 46,000
square miles for nesting herons.
Together, we can improve
this snapshot of Pennsylvanias
current heron population and
distribution statewide. The
information also will be used to
update the Pennsylvania Natural
Heritage Program database and
help us to better assess the
status of these priority species.
Barber noted that filling out
the survey form is a fairly easy
undertaking. Herons are large
enough to be easily observed
and identified at a distance.
Their nests should be mon-
itored with binoculars from a
safe distance.
Please do not approach
nests, Barber said. But, if you
know where herons are nesting,
wed appreciate hearing from
you. Dont assume someone else
will report local nests.
To download the Heron Colo-
ny Observation Data Sheet,
please visit the Game Commis-
sions website
(www.pgc.state.pa.us) and click
on the Help Survey Nesting
Herons icon in the center of
the homepage. Those interested
in participating should read the
Heron Colony Observation
Protocols to understand how to
approach this fieldwork without
disrupting nesting herons.
Completed forms can be
submitted via e-mail to Don
Detwiler, who is project coor-
dinator and is managing the
survey data, atheronda-
ta@gmail.com.
TU APPLAUDS DECISION
ON WATER WITHDRAWALS
Trout Unlimited commended
the recent decision by the Sus-
quehanna River Basin Commis-
sion to suspend water withdraw-
als in five Pennsylvania counties
for Marcellus drilling because of
low stream flows.
The SRBC is taking a proac-
tive approach that will help
protect critical aquatic life, said
Katy Dunlap, Trout Unlimiteds
Eastern Water Project director.
Trout Unlimited calls on the
Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection
(DEP) to follow the SRBCs lead
and suspend water withdrawals
in other areas of the state affect-
ed by low water levels.
Pennsylvanias Department
of Environmental Protection
shouldnt wait for a drought
situation to occur before it takes
action to limit water withdraw-
als in other areas of the state,
said Ken Undercoffer, president
of Trout Unlimiteds Pennsylva-
nia Council. This is an opportu-
nity for the DEP to protect
natural resources across Penn-
sylvania, before other streams
get to emergency levels.
With current low water flows
occurring across the state, aq-
uatic life in streams and rivers
can be at risk if water levels are
not naturally replenished
through additional rainfall.
Trout Unlimited has trained
200 volunteers in its Coldwater
Conservation Corps program to
actively monitoring rivers and
streams throughout Pennsylva-
nias Marcellus Shale region,
measuring stream flow and
water quality.

OUT DOORS
NOT ES
W
hen the spring gobbler sea-
son opens April 28, it will
mark the end of days of
scouting and signal the start of some-
thing that many turkey hunters have
patiently waited for all winter.
But why wait?
Perhaps the spring gobbler season
should start earlier, say a week or two.
If we keep having mild winters and
earlier springs like we did this year,
moving the season up makes sense.
The gobblers have long been vocal,
so an earlier start shouldnt impact
opportunity.
And theres another reason support-
ing the earlier start one that could be
a life-saver.
Gene Dodge, president of the Hun-
tington Mills United Sportsmen, favors
of an earlier start from a safety stand-
point.
Opening the spring season in early
or mid April as opposed to the end of
the month would allow hunters to get
into the woods before the vegetation
gets thick, Dodge said. With things
relatively open, hunters would have an
easier time identifying their target and
accidents could be reduced.
It makes sense. If the gobblers are
active and its easier to see in the
woods, why not open the season a
week or two earlier?
Well, theres a pretty good reason for
that as well.
Noxen hunter Dale Butler said he
believes an earlier start would result in
an increased harvest. The timing of
such an increase, he said, could have
long-term impacts because many of the
gobblers will be removed from the
population before they could breed
with hens.
The way the season is set up now, it
(hunting season) more or less falls
after the breeding season is done,
Butler said. Right now, we could kill
90 percent of the gobblers and not hurt
the population.
From a management standpoint and
a sport standpoint, I think the season
opens on-time.
One concern that Ive always had
with the spring season is the potential
impact it could have on nesting hens.
This year, the season runs from April
28 to May 31. From May 14-31, legal
hunting hours are extended all day.
Thats a lot of days and a lot of time
for hunters to inadvertently scare a hen
off its nest. And that could also carry a
long-term impact.
In my opinion, more hunters are in
the woods during the beginning of the
season than the later weeks. By shifting
the season up by a week or two, hun-
ters wouldnt be losing any time afield
and hens would be less vulnerable to
disturbance during a critical nesting
period later in May.
In a Pennsylvania Game Commission
release, wild turkey biologist Mary Jo
Casalena reaffirms that hunter partici-
pation in the second half of the season
decreases significantly and nesting
hens are less prone to abandon nests.
If thats the case, which I have no
doubt it is, why even keep the gobbler
season open until the end of May? Less
hunters are out during that time and
more hens are nesting, so why not just
avoid it all together?
I like the idea of shifting gobbler
season ahead for an earlier start, but
Im also concerned about Butlers
thoughts on the impact such a move
could have on the population.
According to the PGCs Game-Take
Survey, there are approximately
230,000 spring gobbler hunters and the
average harvest falls between 38,000
and 45,000. Giving those hunters a
chance to head afield a week or two
earlier before the leaves are out and
while the gobblers are just hitting their
peak, could very well result in an in-
creased harvest.
But ending the season before the
vegetation gets thick and the majority
of hens are on nests seems like a better
alternative. Such a move could very
well improve opportunities for hunters,
increase safety and give added protec-
tion to the nesting hens who are sitting
on the future of the sport.
TOM VENESKY
O U T D O O R S
Time to talk
turkey season,
consider change
Tom Venesky covers the outdoors for The
Times Leader.
The mild winter and spring weather
may be a benefit to hen turkeys as they
nest, but as far as hunters seeking gob-
blers when the season opens April 28, it
shouldnt make much of a difference.
The mild weather doesnt necessarily
make gobblers become vocal earlier, nor
does it make them gobble more, for
that matter.
According to Noxen resident Dale
Butler, the only thing that he feels im-
pacts gobblers and their urge to sound
off is daylight.
From the way Ive been taught, the
turkey breeding season takes place with
a photoperiodism response, Butler said.
It has to do with the amount of day-
light.
Butler, who is on the National Wild
Turkey Federations Pennsylvania Chap-
ter board of directors, said gobbler ac-
tivity for the upcoming season should
be normal. Still, based on what Butler
has been hearing during his preseason
scouting trips, theres a chance things
could be even better this year.
Last year during a wet spring, gob-
bling activity was low, Butler said. Since
he began scouting in March, Butler is
encouraged with what hes been hearing
this spring.
Im back on track to hear the same
number when gobbling was good. My
number of scouting days this year are
down, but Im still on track to hear as
many birds as I did during a good
year, he said, adding that, as of the
middle of last week, he had 35 gobblers
located.
In years past, Butler has located as
many as 100 gobblers before the season.
And through it all, Butler has noticed
that the weather really doesnt make a
difference.
In the early 2000s, we had some
mild winters and springs, and they were
good gobbler hunting years, he said.
Ive also had years with ice and snow,
and the gobbling activity was equal. The
spring season just seems to be pretty
consistent when it comes to weather.
Still, the mild weather could bring a
few indirect impacts to the spring sea-
son.
Pennsylvania Game Commission exec-
utive director Carl Roe said a higher
number of hens will likely be incubating
nests by opening day, thanks to the
early spring. That could make gobblers
more vocal as they search for receptive
hens.
Butler said there could be another
benefit.
When the weather is warm and calm,
turkeys can hear each other better, get
to each other better and that could
improve breeding rates, he said.
Last season, hunters took 43,957 gob-
blers (preliminary harvest figure) during
the spring season from an estimated
statewide population of 341,000. The
2011 harvest was the seventh highest
since the first spring gobbler season was
held in 1968.
PGC wild turkey biologist Mary Jo
Casalena said the 2011 harvest is still
slightly below the previous three-year
average (three percent less).
This decrease most likely was due to
the rainy weather throughout much of
last years spring season and below aver-
age summer reproduction two of the
last three years in many Wildlife Man-
agement Units, both of which decreased
gobbling activity, Casalena said.
Due to below average summer repro-
duction during the last three years, the
2012 harvest is expected to be 15 to 25
percent lower than the previous three-
year average.
Casalena encourages spring gobbler
hunters to spend time scouting, which
always plays an important role in hunter
success, especially for those experienced
older toms.
Scouting can improve hunters chanc-
es, especially if they line up multiple
locations for the spring season, Casale-
na said. Prior to the season, however,
hunters should consider not using tur-
key calls to locate gobblers, because it
will educate birds and cause them to be
less inclined to respond to the early-
morning calls of in-season hunters.
Butler said he doesnt worry about
gobblers becoming call-shy before the
season. Calling a gobbler during the
preseason really wont have an impact
during the season, he said.
If you had a fence around 30,000
acres and never touched it, theyd still
gobble the same way as they do in
areas where people do call, Butler said.
Call them up and have fun. The best
thing about turkey hunting is you get to
play one-on-one with that great bird.
Mild winters, springs seem to improve turkey hunting
SUBMITTED PHOTO
The general spring gobbler season runs from April 28 to May 31, with the traditional noon closure for the first two weeks (April 28
to May 12), and from one-half hour before sunrise until one-half hour after sunset for the remaining two weeks (May 14-31).
Season sounds good
SAFETY FIRST
One detriment to the mild spring,
according to Roe, is an earlier emergence
of leaves. That could make it more
difficult for hunters to hear and see their
target, Roe said, and he recommended
using a fluorescent orange band to alert
other hunters to your calling location or
while moving.
Butler stressed that safety, and not
harvesting a gobbler, should be every
hunters top priority. It all begins with
positively identifying your target, he said.
Hear are some other spring gobbler
hunting safety tips from the National Wild
Turkey Federation:
Leave the area if you suspect theres
another hunter already working the same
bird.
Resist the urge to stalk turkey sounds. It
is nearly impossible to sneak up on a
turkey they see and hear the slightest
movements. Stalking is one of the most
common causes of incidents and it is
illegal in Pennsylvania.
Pick your spot in open timber rather
than thick brush. Eliminating movement
and excess noise is more critical to
success than hiding in heavy cover.
Camouflage clothing also helps.
When calling turkeys, place your back
against a large stump, tree trunk, rock,
etc., that is wider than your shoulders and
higher than your head to avoid potential
confusion from other hunters.
Never wear red, white, blue or black
those are colors of a wild turkey gobblers
head and body even on socks or buttons.
Do not wear any bright colors. Wear dark
undershirts and socks and pants long
enough to tuck into boots.
Remain still and speak in a loud, clear
voice to announce yourself to other
hunters if necessary. Never move, wave or
make turkey sounds to alert another
hunter of your presence.
Keep your hands and head camouflaged
when calling.
Maintain a clear field of view when
using a camouflage blind or netting. Set a
perimeter of no more than 40 yards.
Make sure your decoy is not visible
when you are transporting it. Stash the
decoy in your vest and check that the
head is not sticking out. If you harvest a
wild turkey during your hunting trip, you
should cover the birds head and body
when carrying it to your vehicle.
Put your gun safety on and approach
the downed bird with your firearm pointed
in a safe direction after firing. Never run
with a firearm.
HUNTING PROSPECTS
The following is a list gobbler hunting
prospects from the northeast region,
based on a report by PGC wild turkey
biologist Mary Jo Casalena:
WMU 3B Below-average reproduction in
2011 and 2010 translate to less jakes and
the vocal two-year-old gobblers, but there
should still be ample older gobblers from
2009. Because of this, expect the spring
harvest to be similar to or slightly below
last years harvest, but to remain above
the statewide average.
WMU 3C Although the 2012 spring
harvest is expected to be below the
record harvests of 2009 and 2010, expect
the harvest to decrease only slightly from
last year, but remain above the state
average. There remains higher than
average proportions of three-year and
older gobblers, and these present the
most challenging age classes to harvest,
so pre-season scouting will improve
hunters opportunities this spring.
WMU 3D Expect a harvest similar to the
last two years, which were slightly below
average for this WMU, but above the
statewide average. There are ample
two-year-olds due to above-average
reproduction in 2010, so gobbling activity
should be good. However, the below
average reproduction last year and in
2009 means fewer jakes and the those
wary and prized three-year-old gobblers.
WMU 4C Although we dont predict a
record harvest, expect another great
season due to the nearly record spring
2009 reproduction and above-average
reproduction in 2010 and 2011. The
abundance of adult gobblers should
provide plentiful gobbling, especially early
in the season. This WMU continues to
maintain one of the highest spring
harvest densities in the state.
WMU 4E Like WMUs 1A and 4C, this
continues to be a turkey hotspot, boasting
the second highest spring harvests per
square mile in the state last year, with
WMU1A the leading unit. This years
harvest, although still well above the state
average, is expected to decrease due to
below average reproduction during the
last two summers. Hunters who scout
pre-season should still find ample
three-year-old gobblers.

T
he back-and-forth debate on
energy taking place under the
cloud of a presidential election
will do little to put the United States
on a path toward reliable, sustainable
sources of power. It does, though, make
crystal clear the lack of a coherent
energy policy or anything near consen-
sus on what challenges and opportuni-
ties lie before us.
As we dither, events are overtaking
bickering politicians. While the natural
gas industry touts itself in advertising
as a savior of American energy inde-
pendence and source of endless tax
revenue, companies are lining up to
ship domestic gas overseas to the high-
est bidder, ultimately reducing the
supply available to meet domestic
demand.
Perhaps thats not a bad thing, if we
have enough reserves to last until al-
ternative sources are developed. But
we have no idea if that will happen and
no plan to make it happen, so all thats
going on is that our resources are being
drained to pad the bottom lines of
multinational corporations.
In order to serve their interests and
keep the public at bay, opponents of
thoughtful policy raise the specter of
Soviet-style central planning. But no
one believes in or is pushing that ap-
proach. Developed nations like Germa-
ny have adopted plans that use in-
centives and penalties to prod private
sector providers toward more sustain-
able power sources and to reward im-
proved efficiency and conservation.
The policy was developed over a
period of years and several changes in
political leadership. It succeeds be-
cause there is broad agreement among
parties and the majority of citizens that
a consistent supply of power at predict-
able prices is a building block of indus-
trial and social progress.
What also is smothered in the numb-
ingly mindless gridlock in Washington
is the value derived when companies
are required to meet higher standards
that they know wont be reversed by
the next administration. For example,
in Germany Siemens and other compa-
nies are making improvements to wind
power turbines that will raise their
electrical output to the point they are
competitive with other forms of power.
Whats happening in America? Tax
credits critical to continued devel-
opment of wind power are scheduled
to end in December unless a divided
Congress renews them. Thats unlikely
to happen until after the election, if at
all. Perhaps they should not be extend-
ed without requiring greater efficiency,
but thats a conversation almost impos-
sible to fathom among our battling
political class.
Sooner or later we will need the
efficient wind turbines, smart grids and
power-conserving electric motors being
developed elsewhere in response to
forward-thinking energy policies. It will
be a shame if we have to import them,
as we now import oil.
America has been fortunate to occu-
py a large swath of the Earth endowed
generously with natural resources. But
too often we have taken our good for-
tune for granted, assuming it will con-
tinue endlessly rather than recognizing
the finite nature of valuable commod-
ities like oil, as well as the need to
protect the place we inhabit.
There was an equally important
resource evident until recently politi-
cal leaders who would fight hard for
their principles but were willing to
compromise on issues of vital impor-
tance to the nations well-being, even if
that meant angering their supporters.
We called them statesmen and there
are precious few in evidence anywhere
in Washington today. The nation is
worse off for their absence.

The natural gas boom that
has spurred growth in North-
eastern Pennsylvania for the
past few years may have lost a
bit of its bang.
The price of natural gas has
fallen below $2 per unit, down
from around $8 four years ago,
when the Marcellus Shale gas
boom was in its early stages.
Some drilling companies
have responded by curtailing
their drilling operations in so-
called dry gas shale plays
where me-
thane trapped
in shale does
not need to be
separated from
other sub-
stances. North-
eastern Penn-
sylvania is one
of those dry gas zones and
some of the largest companies
drilling for gas in the Marcellus
are slowing down their devel-
opment here.
Fluctuations in response to
price are to be expected, said
Rick Marquardt, director of the
Natural Gas Technology Pro-
gram at Lackawanna College
and owner of several drilling
service and consulting compa-
nies.
Its just a cyclical business,
Marquardt said. It comes and
goes.
Chesapeake Energy, the
companywiththe most drilling
permits in Pennsylvania, an-
nounced in February it would
reduce its number of new dry
gas drilling rigs from 47 to 24
anddecrease its overall gas pro-
ductionin2012. TalismanEner-
gy, another major player, also
announced a slowdown this
year.

tial to affect a broad array of

vice companies and trucking
companies tohotels andrestau-

pert characterized the drilling
cutback as a slowdown in
growth, rather than a reversal
or drawdown.

urning the sour experience of being downsized into a sweet opportunity to followtheir
dreams of business ownership, Matt and Cindy Moore of Stroudsburg are now the
owners of two Edible Arrangement stores.
Edible Arrangements is a franchise featuring elaborate fruit arrangements cut into in-
tricate shapes and designs for gifts.
In 2008, Matt was one of thou-
sands of Americans who had their
positions downsized. For 24
years, he worked in the financial
services industry, working his
way up the corporate ladder to a
senior executive position.
We were lucky we were 50
when it happened. We still had
time to think about what the next
chapter is, Matt said. I knewwith
my background, there was very lit-
tle chance I would get another
job.
Matt and Cindy decided it was
time to pursue the dream of busi-
ness ownership and compiled a list
of 12 business ideas and qualities
they were looking for.
It helped that Matt received a
good severance package that com-
bined with unemployment kept
his family of four afloat while tak-
ingwebinars, seminars andclasses
on business.
Shortly after his unemployment
ended, and Cindys mother passed
away, the opportunity presented
itself.
Friends of ours picked up an ar-
rangement from Edible Arrange-
ments and brought it to us follow-
ing the passing of Cindys mom,
Matt said. They said, if you are
looking for a business idea heres
one.

Q: Since joining this company
a fewweeks ago, I have noticed a
lot of areas that need improve-
ment. However, Imnot sure how
honest I should be in sharing my
views with management. In my
previous job, I was always very
open about my opinions. If I saw
a problem, I simply described it
to my boss and proposed a solu-
tion, but Im not sure this would
be welcomed in my new organi-
zation.What do you think?
A: As a newbie, you are wise to
be cautious about offering sug-
gestions too quickly. Many re-
cent hires unintentionally offend
their new employer by criticiz-
ing current practices or making
comparisons with their previous
workplace. This is an easy mis-
take to make, because new arriv-
als are viewing everything with
fresh eyes.
At the same time, however,
youdowant togive management
the benefit of your experience,
since that is presumably why you
were hired. The secret is to pre-
sent your ideas in a way that
sounds respectful and helpful,
not arrogant and critical.
To accomplish this, you must
first take the time to understand
why things are the way they are.
If youhave changedindustries or
moved to a different area, there
will be a lot to learn about your
newenvironment. You must also
familiarize yourself with the
companys history, culture, and
leadership style.
When you do propose a
change, make it a suggestion, not
a directive. If you firmly declare
that the company must get rid of
its outdated software, you will
sound inappropriately dictato-
rial. But if you offer to arrange a
demonstration of the latest tech-
nology, you will appear to be
helpful and forward-thinking.
To reduce defensive reactions
to your suggestions, try using
this simple three-step formula:
make a factual observationabout
the current practice, ask a ques-
tion to understand the past, then
explain the benefits of your idea.
For example, you might start
by saying Ive noticed that the
shipping department uses a rath-
er high-priced carrier.Was this
vendor chosen for a particular
reason? If the justification
seems less thancompelling, offer
your proposal: I believe we
couldgreatly reduce our costs by
using a different carrier. Would
you be interested in reviewing
some other vendors?
Finally, avoid making compar-
ative comments that start with
at my last company. If you say
this too often, people will begin
to wonder why you didnt stay
there.
Q: Is an employer allowed to
distribute your personal infor-
mation to the entire office? My
boss recently sent out a list that
included everyones home ad-
dress, spouses name, cell phone
number, and emergency con-
tacts. Henever askedour permis-
sion to do this.
A: Not being an attorney, I
cant answer your question from
a legal perspective.However,
froma management perspective,
I can tell you that sharing em-
ployees personal information
without their consent is com-
pletely inappropriate.Your clue-
less boss may have had good in-
tentions, but he apparently
doesnt realize that many people
like to keep their personal lives
private.

LOS ANGELES The crowd
stood at the corner of San Pedro
and Boyd streets, a bustling
shopping area near L.A.s Skid
Row, waiting for stragglers to ar-
rive before descending on the
store.
But this mob wasnt an angry
one. It had gathered on a recent
Saturday afternoon to spend
money at a small caf and bou-
tique.
Dubbed a cash mob, mem-
bers of the group, many of them
young professionals, had ar-
ranged the event through social
media. Over the course of an
hour, the shoppers plucked soy
candles, pillows, purses and or-
nate jewelry from the shelves.
By the time they were
through, they had dropped
$1,200 nearly double what
Made by DWCbrings inona typ-
ical day.
We sold out of a lot of prod-
ucts, said Patrick Shandrick,
spokesman for the nonprofit
Downtown Womens Center,
which operates the shop. This
event was more of what the ho-
lidays are like.
Similar to so-called flash
mobs groups that assemble in
public toperformoften-frivolous
activities, such as dancing
cashmobs bringtogether strang-
ers. But the purpose is serious:
to support locally owned busi-
nesses with a quick injection of
cash.
The trend is part of a larger
buy local movement that has
emerged in response to the rise
of big-box national chains that
are putting the squeeze on mom
and pop stores.
Tough economic times have
raised awareness about the
plight of Main Street merchants,
said Stacy Mitchell, a senior re-
searcher for the Institute for Lo-
cal Self-Reliance who has writ-
ten extensively on small busi-
nesses.
Whether people will contin-
ue to organize these (cash
mobs), itll be interesting to
see, Mitchell said. The larger
point is that this is part of a much
larger trend in terms of support
for the independent business
movement.
About 200 cash mobs have
sprung up across the U.S. since
last summer, according to An-
drew Samtoy, a Cleveland attor-
ney who has become something
of a Pied Piper for the move-
ment.
He organized his own cash
mobinNovember as a way toget
strangers to meet for a fun out-
ing that would also help boost
the local economy.
Samtoy garnered media atten-
tion for his efforts, and he enlist-
ed friends in other U.S. cities to
organize their own events.
If you spend money in your
owncommunity, your communi-
ty gets richer, said Samtoy, 32.
After shopping, participants
head for a local bar to celebrate
their new purchases. The busi-
ness owner (and the bar) get a
windfall. The mobsters, as par-
ticipants are known, learn more
about their city and meet some
new friends.

rate of growth, not operating,
Marquardt said. Theyve made
huge capital expenditures in ac-
quiring properties and leases
and they want to bring those
leases to production so they
dont forgo their investment.
Oil and gas is a commodity
and its value fluctuates with
price, he added. Companies
who are trying to balance their
productionof oil andnatural gas
will migrate some of there re-
sources into the oil area, and
theres been some significant
news report of some exciting oil
wells out of eastern Ohio and
western Pennsylvania.
Jobs should stay
Marquardt said opportunities
will remain for skilled workers
directly employed by the gas in-
dustry.
I anticipate employment in
this industry to continue to
grow, he said. I dont know
any company that isnt interest-
ed in seeking individuals that
have specific training for their
needs.
The slowdown may affect
subsidiary industries providing
services such as water transpor-
tationandconstructionservices
for gas drillers, though work on
pipelines will continue unabat-
ed. To ride out fluctuations in
business requires managing
debt and diversifying ones busi-
ness to have something to fall
back on.
Its always going up and
down and you manage your
business as required, Mar-
quardt said.
He also questioned how se-
vere the drilling slowdown ac-
tually is, noting that many gas
companies are continuing work
as usual with no signs of a draw-
down. Certainly companies
wont part easily with lease
holdings that theyve spent mil-
lions acquiring and that have
proven productive, he said.
Inthemeantime, themost im-
portant thing for the area is to
maintain a favorable environ-
ment for drilling and not alien-
ate the industry.
Welcome the industry
If we overreact to a slow-
down; if weswingthependulum
and try to shut down services or
whatever, thenwe create a more
negative environment should
they decide to come back in the
future, Marquardt said.
Certainly the business envi-
ronment of any area is going to
compete with the business envi-
ronment of another area, he
continued. These natural gas
source rock shales are all over
the country. So if theres a shale
play in North Dakota or a shale
play in Indiana, those business
leaders there are working to
bring those companies to their
area.
They have to be considered
as customers to our area.
Theyre our customers. If youre
a businessmaninany regionyou
shouldtry totreat themas a cus-
tomer. We want to attract them;
we dont want to make things
more difficult for them.

Cindy visited. Walking into the
store, he said it smelled good and
was fresh, clean and very appeal-
ing.
I used to recommend Edible
to my clients and they always
raved about the product, Matt
said. So I knew the quality was
good.
Matt discovered the owners of
the Stroudsburg location were
lookingtoget out of the business.
They just lost the passion for
it, he said.
After expressing their interest,
sorting through the paperwork
and attending training provided
by the Edible Arrangements
Corp., Matt and Cindy quietly
purchasedthe Stroudsburgstore.
We were fortunate the current
staff stayed on, Matt said.
Close to home, juggling two
children and a business, the
Moores were pleased with their
new career path. Soon, they be-
gan discussing the option of
opening a second location.
We knew we needed more
than one, he said. It is not a
huge money making operation.
The search for a second loca-
tion was on the way. Coming
down Route 115 fromBear Creek
into Wilkes-Barre, they saw pos-
sibilities with houses grouped
tightly, several nearby colleges
and hospitals.
The first hurdle was finding a
location. Matt and Cindy liked a
site off Route 315, near the Wood-
lands Inn and Resort in Plains
Township. The corporate offices
preferred a location in the
Wilkes-Barre Township Market-
Place, anchored by Wal-Mart.
Understandingthe importance
of visibility and foot traffic, Matt
agreed.
Setting up the store was not
easy; Matt was there for all of the
construction, paintingandequip-
ment installation. Back at home,
his son, Conor, 11, had a hard
time adjusting to his dads ab-
sence.
One night I went into his
room to give him a kiss, Matt
said. He looked up at me and
said Dad I hate Wilkes-Barre. I
thought, Oh this is just not
right.
To remedy the situation brew-
ing at home, Matt brought Conor
to Wilkes-Barre andtook himto a
hockey game. Conor was won
over.
Now, he wants to move here,
Matt said laughing.
Their daughter, Madison, 17, is
on the payroll and has pitched in
to help out in both stores, Matt
said.
She loves earning her own
money, Cindy said.
With balance restored in their
household, the Moores held the
grand opening for their Wilkes-
Barre Township store on Decem-
ber 3. Conor cut the ribbon.
The stores sales skyrocketed,
making it one of the top selling
stores inPennsylvania, Matt said.
The Moores now are focused
on building relations within the
communities they serve and fos-
tering their business.
Our retirement plan is nowto
open five locations within 10
years, Matt said.

COST OF AN OPINION
How much is a chance to vote on a
CEOs paycheck worth to you? Google
investors will soon decide for them-
selves. The company plans to issue a
new class of stock with zero voting
power. That means anyone who buys
the new shares wont get any say in the
elections at Googles annual meeting.
In 2011, for example, shareholders
voted to approve the compensation giv-
en to executives in 2010, including a
$1.8 million bonus for then-CEO Eric
Schmidt. The new Google shares will
trade under a different symbol than
GOOG. Look for them to be slightly
cheaper, maybe by 1.6 percent. Thats
the average discount that Citi analysts
found for other large companies with
separate share classes.
AIR BUBBLE
From tulips to dot-com stocks to
airplanes? Aircraft may be the next
bubble, Credit Suisse financial an-
alysts say. Emerging-market air-
line fleets are growing with their
economies, and carriers in devel-
oped markets are replacing older
planes with more fuel-efficient
ones. All the demand means that
Airbus and Boeing ended last year
with a backlog of 8,407 plane or-
ders. Thats up from a backlog of
2,781 at the end of 2004. Credit
Suisse still likes Boeing stock, but
it offers warning signs that could
lead to a drop, including a rise in
order deferrals or cancellations,
big swings in fuel costs or higher
financing costs.
BACK TO NORMAL
That 4.3 percent drop for the S&P
500 in the first week and a half of
April was scary. But such declines
are just a normal part of the stock
market cycle, says Paul Mangus,
managing director of equity research
and strategy at Wells Fargo Wealth
Management. It was the long,
smooth rise before the dip that was
out of character.
The S&P 500 has historically had
a dip of at least 5 percent several
times each year. Since 1928, its
happened an average of 3.5 times
annually -- roughly every three-and-
a-half months. The last time the in-
dex has had one that steep was a
9.8 percent drop five months ago,
from Oct. 28 through Nov. 25.

Everyone seems to agree that fi-
nancial literacy in this country is
lagging. What can be done about
it?
I wish Congress would simplify all
the choices people face for saving
for retirement. One thing the
presidents council is looking at is
having one individual retirement ac-
count from birth that would be your
savings account for retirement for
the rest of your life. That promotes
being involved with your money, and
saving, and getting interested and
knowledgeable about it.
How do parents educate their
kids about money?
Im a big believer in starting to teach
your kids when theyre young. Give
them an allowance, get them to
save at an early age and have them
get jobs when they're a little older.
Kids who work are much more likely
to be stellar savers. And start talking
to them about retirement, even
though its boring.
I also think it's a good idea to get
them a credit card when theyre
about 16 and have them practice
paying it off on a monthly basis. I call
it a credit card on training wheels.
Credit cards definitely have a place
in our lives, and theyre important.
But its like with a car it can be
dangerous if you dont know how to
drive it safely.
What did you do with your own
children (now 23, 20 and 15)?
I made them all get jobs. Were such
a wealthy society that we spoil our
kids. I also opened custodial ac-
counts for them when they were 13.
I brought each of them to the
Schwab office, sat them down and
had them fill out the paperwork.
They saved birthday gifts and mon-
ey from their jobs. And when the two
boys got their first jobs, at 16, I high-
ly encouraged them to open up Roth
IRAs, and they did.
What about adults how do you
recommend they become more fi-
nancially savvy?
Its really important for families to
talk about money and investing. And
its particularly important for baby
boomers and all those over 50. The
economic downturn, I believe, had a
lot to do with the lack of financial lit-
eracy in our country. Alot of people
got themselves in trouble because
they didnt have a baseline educa-
tion to make good decisions.
What are the biggest mistakes in
retirement planning?
Not being well-informed and start-
ing to save too late. What people
dont realize is the longer you wait
to save, the harder it is the
more you have to save to build
enough of a nest egg to have a se-
cure retirement.
If you start when you're in your
20s, you need to save roughly 10
percent of your income. If you start
in your 30s its about 15 to 20 per-
cent, and in your 40s its 25 per-
cent. A quarter of your income to
the future thats hard for any-
body. So, better to start early. The
earlier you start, the easier it is to
build that nest egg.

Where the dollars
are going
Mutual funds that invest in large-cap growth
stocks have been some of the better investments
for the last three years. Investors dont care: They
pulled a net $7.5 billion out of those funds during
the rst quarter.
Its a similar story across most types of U.S.
stock mutual funds: Investors are still scarred by
the big market drops during the nancial crisis and
the debt-ceiling showdown last summer. The start
of this year wasnt unusual for actively managed
large-cap stock mutual funds. Investors have been
consistently pulling their money out of these funds
for 11 straight quarters.
Investors continue to prefer bond mutual funds.
Although bond returns have cooled, investors
consider them safer than stock funds.
Intermediate-term bond funds those that invest in
bonds maturing in four to 10 years attracted $37
billion during the quarter, even though they
returned an average of just 1.6 percent.
An exception is emerging markets. Investors
are still excited about the long-term growth
potential of Brazil, China and other developing
countries. Although economists worry that Chinas
growth could slow, and ination is still high in
India, emerging market stock mutual funds drew
$8.2 billion last quarter; while bond funds attracted
$6.1 billion.

Alcoa kicked off rst-quarter earn-
ings season with a pleasant surprise
on April 11.
The aluminum company said that
it made a prot, when nancial an-
alysts were expecting a loss. The
better-than-expected results sent
Alcoa up 2.7 percent the day after
the report.
So far this earnings season, that
kind of result has been the norm:
Through Thursday afternoon, 81
percent of S&P 500 earnings reports
beat analysts expectations. At the
same point a quarter ago, only 49
percent of reports did so, S&P Indi-
ces says.
This screen shows the companies
that have topped analysts prot ex-
pectations by the widest margins.
To be sure, a better-than-ex-
pected prot report doesnt guar-
antee a rising stock price. Constel-
lation Brands, for example, said
that it earned 69 cents per share
last quarter after ignoring one-time
items. That beat analysts expec-
tations for 39 cents. But investors
were concerned by the wine and
spirit companys forecast for earn-
ings in the current scal year, which
was below what analysts were ex-
pecting. Its stock fell 12.5 percent
the day it reported earnings.

This undated image pro-
vided by the City of Albu-
querque via Shannon
Kennedy shows a school-
aged juvenile handcuffed
in Albuquerque, N,M.
Whether its ticketing
students in Texas or hand-
cuffing them from New
Mexico to Massachusetts,
experts say the crimi-
nalization of bad behavior
at school is the outgrowth
of zero-tolerance policies
that have led to increased
police presence in schools
over the years.
A
LBUQUERQUE, N.M. A New Mex-
ico teacher asked a 13-year-old girl to
stop talking with her friend and move
toanother seat. The girl refused. The teacher
called the police.
The case is among thousands across the
country fueling a long-simmering debate
over when educators should bring in the
policetodeal withdisruptivestudents. A
6-year-old Georgia kindergartner be-
came the latest test case last week
when she was hauled off in steel hand-
cuffs after throwing books and toys in a
school tantrum.
Kids arebeingarrestedfor beingkids,
saidShannonKennedy, acivil rights attor-
ney who has filed a class-action lawsuit
against Albuquerques public school dis-
trict anditspolicedepartment onbehalf of
hundredsof kidsarrestedforminoroffens-
es over the past few years, including hav-
ing cellphones inclass, destroying a histo-
ry book and inflating a condom.
Civil rights advocates and criminal jus-
tice experts say frustrated teachers and
principals are calling in the police too of-
ten to deal with the most minor disturb-
ances. But other teacherssayapolicepres-
ence that has grown in response to zero
tolerance policies of the 1990s and trage-
dies like the Columbine High massacre is
neededtokeepteachers andwell-behaved
students safe.
From sexual harassment in elementary
and middle school to children throwing
furniture, there is more chronic and ex-
tremedisrespect, disinterest andkidswho
basically dont care, saidEllenBernstein,
president of the Albuquerque teachers
union.
Experts point to a number of factors
that lead to the arrests: Some officers are
operatingwithout special training. School
administrators are desperate to get the at-
tention of uninvolved parents. And over-
whelmed teachers are unaware that call-
inginthepolicetodefuseasituationcould
lead to serious criminal charges.
I have had some concern for a while
that the schools have relied a little too
heavily on police officers to handle disci-
plinaryproblems, saidDarrel Stephens, a
formerCharlotte, N.C., policechief andex-
ecutive director of
the Major Cities
Chiefs Association.
Thereislittlenational
data to back those asser-
tions; no numbers are
trackednationallyonhowof-
ten police are called in to arrest
students. Whether the children
are actually charged and saddled
with criminal records varies by
case and jurisdiction. Some young-
sters are charged with felonies.
Some are freed without further inci-
dent. Others receive tickets.
In Milledgeville, Ga., a city of 18,000
some 90 miles from Atlanta, Salecia
Johnsonwas accusedof tearingitems off
the walls andthrowing books andtoys in
an outburst Friday at Creekside Elemen-
tary. Police said she also threw a small
shelf that struck the principal in the leg,
andjumpedonapaper shredder andtried
to break a glass frame.
Police didnt say what set off the tan-
trum. Baldwin County (Ga.) schools Su-
perintendent Geneva Braziel called the
students behavior violent and disrup-
tive and said the police were needed to
keep the student, other classmates and
the school staff safe.
Salecia was handcuffed and taken away
in a patrol car to the police station, where
she was taken to a squad roomand given a
soda, police said. She wont be charged
with a crime.

VIEWS S E C T I O N E
IF PRESIDENT Oba-
ma had a son, he
would look like Tray-
von Martin. So the
president famously
said.
And the presidents
son would thereby find
himself at significantly greater risk of
running afoul of the so-called War on
Drugs than, say, a son of George W.
Bush. Depending on what state he lived
in, a Trayvon Obama might be 57 times
more likely than a Trayvon Bush to be
imprisoned on drug charges.
This is not because he would be 57
times more likely to commit a drug
crime. To the contrary, white American
men commit the vast majority of the
nations drug crimes, but African-Amer-
ican men do the vast majority of the
nations drug time. It is a nakedly racial
disparity that should leave the U.S. De-
partment of Justice embarrassed to call
itself by that name.
So it is difficult to be anything but
disappointed at President Obamas re-
cent declaration at a summit in Col-
ombia that legalization is not the an-
swer to the international drug problem.
The president argued that drug dealers
might come to dominate certain coun-
tries if they were allowed to operate
legally without any constraint. This
dominance, he said, could be just as
corrupting if not more corrupting than
the status quo.
One wonders if the president forgot to
engage brain before operating mouth.
Dealers might dominate certain coun-
tries? Has Obama never heard of Mex-
ico, that country on our southern border
where drug dealers operate as a virtual
shadow government in some areas? Is he
unfamiliar with Colombia his host
nation where, for years, the govern-
ment battled a drug cartel brutal and
brazen enough to attack the Supreme
Court and assassinate the attorney gen-
eral? That scenario Obama warns against
actually came to pass a long time ago.
Similarly, it is a mystery how the man-
ufacture and sale of a legal product could
be just as corrupting if not more cor-
rupting than the status quo. How could
that be, given that there would no longer
be a need for drug merchants to bribe
judges, politicians and police for protec-
tion? What reason is there to believe a
legal market in drugs would be any more
prone to corruption than the legal mar-
kets in cigarettes and alcohol? Or, pop-
corn and chocolate?
The presidents reasoning is about as
sturdy as a cardboard box in a monsoon.
Even he must know who can still
deny? that the drug war has failed.
When it comes to quantifying that fail-
ure, several numbers are stark and edify-
ing:
Forty-one. Thats how many years the
War has raged.
Forty million-plus. Thats how many
Americans have been arrested.
One trillion-plus. Thats the cost.
Two thousand, eight hundred. Thats
the percentage by which drug use has
risen.
One-point-three. Thats the percentage
of Americans who were drug addicted in
1914.
One-point-three. Thats the percentage
of Americans who are drug addicted
now.
The numbers come from Law Enforce-
ment Against Prohibition, a group of
cops, judges, DEA agents and other drug
warriors who are demanding an end to
the drug war. Their statistics call to
mind an old axiom: the definition of
crazy is to continue doing the same thing
but expecting a different result.
That said, it is not difficult to under-
stand why the president or anyone
might flinch at the notion of legalizing
drugs. It is a big, revolutionary idea, an
idea that would change the way things
have been done since forever. If someone
feels a need to pause before crossing that
line, thats understandable.
But let none of us do as the president
did hide behind a specious argument
that offers no solution, no way forward
and, most critically, no leadership.
Drug legalization is not the answer?
OK, Mr. President, fair enough.
What is?

Ga. handcuff case renews debate
By JERI CLAUSING Associated Press
FOR REASONS that
dont interest me
much, girl fights
always have had a
particular tug on our
imaginations.
Thus, when consult-
ant/pundit/Democrat
Hilary Rosen commented on CNN that
Ann Romney had never held a job (and
therefore was ill-suited to advise her
husband on womens employment
concerns), the body politic convulsed in
paroxysms of outrage.
Oh, the elitist slander. How dare she!
Being a full-time, stay-at-home mom is a
job!
And off they went.
Stay-at-home moms (SAHMs) alleg-
edly were insulted. Working mothers
who allegedly envy SAHMs recoiled)
from the blinding truth of Rosens obser-
vation. Single moms with mouths to
feed and no jobs allegedly were furious
at the Romneys apparent cluelessness.
Regular folks, meanwhile, who know
better than to argue about women
issues when the political masses are
engaged, somehow managed to get
through another night without ponder-
ing whether the gender gap can ever be
bridged.
Not so the pundit class, now fully
deployed and dizzy with the ramifica-
tions of such troubling questions as:
Has the (alleged) Republican war on
women resurrected the alleged mom-
my wars of 20 years ago?
It should go without saying that this
faux battle is silly and utterly off-point,
not so much a clash of ideas as a peash-
ooter contest in the Twitter Lounge.
Yet, rather than treat it as such, every-
one from the president of the United
States to the Catholic League to the
GOP and the DNC has felt compelled to
inveigh.
President Obama, reminding folks
that he was raised by a single mom,
noted that women who stay home with
children are doing hard work and that
anyone who argues otherwise should
rethink their statement. Rosen quickly
rethunk and apologized for saying
something true, which is never allowed
in politics but the heat is still high.
The fact is, Ann Romney has never
held a job outside the home and, in-
arguably, doesnt have the same experi-
ence as those scrapping to feed their
families. But this has no bearing what-
soever on her ability to empathize with
the challenges of others or whether she
is attuned to womens concerns.
If personal experience is a prereq-
uisite for debate or commentary, then
nobody gets to talk. Moreover, Ann
Romney was merely trying to indicate
what any woman should appreciate
that the sideline issue of contraception
prompted by requirements included in
Obamacare is not the primary con-
cern of most women or of this election
season, much as the Democratic Party
and the Obama administration would
like voters to think otherwise.
It was in this context, among others,
that Mitt Romney has mentioned his
wife as a political muse on womens
concerns. It is also in this context that
Rosens remarks should be considered.
She wasnt insulting Ann Romneys
fortunate choice to stay home and raise
her five sons. She was questioning
whether she could relate to the every-
day concerns of women who have been
less lucky.
The comment should have been
treated as off-point rather than conflat-
ed as some absurd attack on the stay-at-
home mom. Instead, even some who
pretend to a higher moral plane brought
the debate to its lowest level, namely
the Catholic League, which surely spoke
for no one when it tweeted: Lesbian
Dem Hilary Rosen tells Ann Romney
she never worked a day in her life. Un-
like Rosen, who had to adopt kids, Ann
raised 5 of her own.
What sweeties.
Only gravel doesnt know that the
womens vote is all-important this elec-
tion season. Never mind the perennial
insult that women are monolithic and
only vote as their female parts dictate.
Women, care about jobs and the econo-
my because they are sentient human
beings who do, in fact, work (57.7 per-
cent of those over 16), or want to. Wom-
en and men should be angry, all right,
but not at Ann Romney or Hilary Ro-
sen, who are entitled to both their opin-
ions and their choices without fear of
censure or condemnation. Anger is
better directed at those who take tiny
utterances and inflate them into phony
distractions. Visitors to preschool play-
grounds have witnessed disagreements
of greater import.

girl had complained about the
handcuffs; she said they really
hurt her wrists, she said. The de-
partments policy is to handcuff
everyone arrested regardless of
age for safety reasons, police said.
In Florida, the use of police in
schools cameupseveral years ago
when officers arrested a kinder-
gartner whothrewatantrumdur-

for misdemeanors or other acts
that do not pose serious safety
threats.
In Connecticut, court officials
began tracking student arrests af-
ter becomingconcernedabout re-
ferrals for minor offenses. Since
last March, nearly 1,700 students
were arrested, almost two-thirds
of them for breach of peace, mi-
nor fights anddisorderlyconduct.
In Texas, a December report
from the nonprofit Texas Apple-
seed, a public interest group, says
more than 275,000 non-traffic
ticketsareissuedtojuvenileseach
year. While it is unclear how
many are written at school, the
group says the vast majority are
for offenses most commonly link-
edtoincidents like disruptingthe
class and disorderly conduct.
Texas Sen. John Whitmire said
educators and police need to bet-
ter distinguish between who they
are afraid of and who they are
mad at.
If you are afraid of someone
because they bring a gun or
drugs, of course we come down
hard, Whitmire said. Its the
kids that just make you mad that
you dont need to make a crime.
In Albuquerque, which started
tracking arrests after noticing
more minor cases coming from
schools, more than 900 of the dis-
tricts 90,000 students were re-
ferred to the criminal justice sys-
temin the 2009-2010 school year.
Of those, more than 500 were
handcuffed, arrested and brought
to juvenile detention, officials
said. Morethan200werearrested
for minor offenses, including dis-
orderly conduct, resisting arrest,
refusing to obey and interference
with staff.
Preliminary numbers indicate
arrests have fallen 53 percent
since the class-action lawsuit was
filed in 2010, prompting law en-
forcement officials to order more
caution.
Albuquerque school officials
have declined comment on
school arrests, citing the pending
litigation.
But juvenile advocates and par-
ents say first arrests could lead to
more trouble.
Annette Montano says her 13-
year-old son was arrested at a

HENDERSON, Nev. After it
happened, Megan Beza was con-
sumedwithfiguringout why. Did
her husbands struggle with pain-
killers play a role? His months of
fruitless job-hunting?
But withsuicide, there are rare-
ly tidy answers. What is known is
that southernNevadas unusually
high suicide rate spiked with the
recession, and Megan thinks that
must explain, at least in part,
what happened the morning of
Oct. 25, 2010.
John Beza had just returned
fromdroppingoff their 4-year-old
son, Jacob, at preschool. Megan
was taking a bath.
Im going to the doctor, John
told her.
Why?
I dont feel good.
What hurts?
John, usually easygoing,
snapped.
I just dont feel good!
The couple bickered, and John
knocked Megans cellphone into
their large Roman tub. He storm-
edout. Meganwrappedherself in
a towel and rushed after him. In
their bedroom she heard some-
thing rustle.
John?
She tried to open the walk-in
closet. Locked. John slid his cell-
phone to her under the door. She
heard a click. Then a loud bang.
JOHN!
Megan somehow kicked
through the bottom of the door.
John was sprawled on his back,
the .357 Magnum theyd bought
for protection still in his hand.
The bullet had passed through
his head and punched a hole in
the ceiling. Megancalled911, and
a dispatcher tried to tell her how
to clear his airways of blood.
Johns chest rose and fell, rose
and fell, then stopped.
He was 39.
Long before the recession sad-

dled Nevada with the countrys
top foreclosure and unemploy-
ment rates, the Silver State wres-
tled with another measure of de-
spair. For about three decades,
the states suicide rate most re-
cently 19.1 deaths per 100,000
residents has been among the
nations highest. The national av-
erage is 12 per 100,000.
Most of Nevadas suicides oc-
cur around Las Vegas, where
nearly three-fourths of the states
population lives. A study by so-
ciologist Matt Wray and his col-
leagues found that between 1979
and 2004, the odds of suicide
among Vegas residents were
about 50 percent greater than in
other large metropolitan areas.
Statistically speaking, leaving
Las Vegas was enough to lessen
the chance of someone taking his
or her life.
Suicide remains a relatively
rare form of death in the United
States. Certain cultural factors
can heighten the risk, and some
of those are essentially the build-
ing blocks of modern Las Vegas.
The insta-neighborhoods of
the once-fast-growing region of-
fer newcomers little sense of
community, and strong social
ties help whittle down the likeli-
hood of suicide. Nevadas go-it-
alone, frontier ethos is another
possible contributor, researchers
say.
The majority of suicides in-
volve firearms. And while its
easytobuya gunhere, a lean-gov-
ernment mentalityhas curbedac-
cess to mental health care, a sig-
nificant factor in cutting suicide
risk.
Las Vegas also may draw peo-
ple more likely to kill themselves
those struggling with addic-
tion, mental health problems or
failed relationships. People
grasping for second or third
chances.
Its certainly been the mythol-
ogy that this is where people
came to reinvent themselves,
said Wray, a Temple University
associate professor who spent
years at the University of Nevada,
Las Vegas.
Inthe first fewyears after 2000,
the number of suicides in Clark
County remained relatively stea-
dy, about 300 a year.
Then the recession struck.
Megan struggled to explain to

their son what had happened:
Daddy went to heaven, she told
Jacob. His brain was sick. Then
she settled into something of a
fog, retracing her relationship
with John repeatedly, searching
for clues.
The two had met in 2001while
racing dirt bikes. He was di-
vorced with two sons, and
blushed when someone suggest-
ed he take Megan dancing. The
next night, they played pool in-
stead. He walked Megan to her
car and kissed her hand.
We were pretty much insepa-
rable after that, said Megan, a
37-year-old with blue-gray eyes
and a cherubic face.
They called each other baby,
loved camping and the ocean,
and had paintings made for each
other with maritime themes.
They spruced up a stucco house
in suburban Henderson.
John had long worked with his
hands, installing cooling and
heating systems. Not long after
Jacob was born in 2006, the work
startedtodry up. The foreclosure
crisis slashed the need for new
homes, while the recession emp-
tied hotel rooms. In 2007, John
broke his right collarbone but
kept putting off surgery.
He didnt want to show any
weakness, Megan said.
In 2009, John was laid off for
the first time. Megan tried to
comfort him. She was working at
Lockheed Martin, and they had
some money socked away.
I dont ever want to come
home and tell you I cant support
our family, John replied.
After a fewweeks, he was hired
to work on a new airport termi-
nal. But on July 15, 2010, John
walked into the house grim-
faced.
Today was my turn, he told
his wife.
In 2006 and 2007, Clark Coun-

ty recorded about 350 suicides,
according to the coroners office.
In 2010, there were 405, includ-
ing John Beza.
Suicide rates tend to fluctuate
by no more than 3 percent a year
in a large metropolitan area, re-
searcher Wray said. When it
moves 10 percent, its like, OK,
that was a quake.
While no one can make a defin-
itive link, one possible cause of
the high number is Clark Coun-
tys stubborn unemployment
rate. By 2009, it hadsoaredabove
14 percent, and it has yet to dip
back below 12 percent. Several
studies have shown that pro-
longed joblessness heightens the
chance of suicide.
After John Bezas second lay-

off, he grewmore subdued, more
easily frustrated. He woke up
gasping from dreams he refused
to describe to Megan.
Still, shehadnoreasontothink
John might harm himself. From
what she knew, hed never suf-
feredfromdepression. There was
no history of suicide inhis family.
InSeptember 2010, Meganwas
laid off too. The next month, try-
ing to make the best of their emp-
ty days, the family drove to the
California coast. They tookJacob
whale-watching and to Sea
World.
Mom, Dad, I dont want to
leave! he said on the last day.
To Megans surprise, John
teared up.
I dont want to go, either.
After Megan found a support
group for survivors of suicide vic-
tims, she learned that there were
no definitive answers. Even fam-
ilies of people whod written
goodbye notes still wrestled with
questions.
Last fall, Meganwas hiredback
at Lockheed Martin. She and Ja-
cob remain in their home, where
the good memories outweigh
one terrible one. Megan keeps
Johns ashes ina cherry woodbox
carved with a picture of the sail-
boat they long talked about buy-
ing. She andJacob recently sprin-
kled some in the Bear River in
Idaho, where John and Jacob had
gone fishing.
Now, when thoughts creep in-
to her head of Johns last morn-
ing, Megantries tothinkof some-
thing else. Their wedding day.
The moments Johnlookedhappy
before life went sour.

Wheres your conscience?
U.S. Rep. Sander Levin
The top Democrat on the House tax committee
chided his Republican colleagues last week for
approving a 20 percent tax cut for companies with
fewer than 500 employees, saying it unfairly
favored wealthy business owners, celebrities and
sports teams while adding billions to the national debt. GOP backers
characterized the measure, which the Senate was expected to torpedo,
as a job-creation tool.
SOMETIMES, WHEN you
live in Michigan, people
from out of state ask you,
Why?
This is a story that
answers that question.
I was feeling a little
blue recently. Lifes worries. The usual
stuff. I had a family dinner commitment;
it was out in Ann Arbor, and though I was
tired and didnt feel like making the trip,
the plans already were made.
We met at the Cottage Inn, a large pizza
restaurant brimming with college kids.
This was in the heart of the University of
Michigan, where the semester was head-
ing toward finals. Lots of late evening
pepperoni.
We sat at a large table, a bunch of us,
the uncles and aunts, nephews, niece,
friends, and, near the end of the meal, a
white-haired gentleman came over and
introduced himself. He said he was the
university adviser to the Mens Glee Club,
his name was Carl Smith, and he wanted
to know if we had a request.
A request?
Yes. Anything youd like to hear?
You mean a song?
Yes.
Now I have been to restaurants where
they strum guitars, where they sing op-
era, where a violinist twirls his bow while
couples sip wine.
I have never been to a place that had a
glee club.
Surround sound in a pizzeria ...
What are our choices? I asked.
Carl rattled off a bunch of unfamiliar
names, Varsity, Goddess of the Inland
Seas. I shrugged. I am not generally up
on glee club repertoire.
You pick, I said.
Suddenly, a small army of young men
came walking toward us. They lined the
stairs to the second level, they stood
along the balcony, they filled the spaces
between the tables around us. They were
every kind of college male from the
sweat-shirted, unshowered, matted-hair
mold to the neatly coiffed, bespectacled
version.
In front of them was a gentleman in a
gray sport coat, their director, Eugene
Rogers. He made a hand motion.
And voices rose.
This is our humble prayer.
Dear Father, bless America,
Oh keep her strong and good.
May her brave songs fly round the
world on wings of brotherhood.
The voices were strong, lovely, harmo-
nious, sincere, they filled the restaurant
until everyone in the place was listening
in stunned silence.
Inspire our songs of loyalty,
And may thy blessing be
On Michigan,
Dear Michigan, our university.
When they finished, we rose in ap-
plause. The singing kids (I call them kids,
they tower over me) were smiling. They
hiked their backpacks, readjusted their
sweatshirts and scattered.
I later learned this glee club dates to
1859 and is considered one of the best in
the country. On Thursday nights it prac-
tices, and afterward, it gathers for pizza
at the Cottage Inn.
Apparently, the men do a little post-
rehearsal singing as well.
We sat in that restaurant feeling up-
lifted by the impromptu performance. It
truly was beautiful singing and we
hadnt even paid the check yet.
Later, we collected in a dessert place
for make-your-own frozen yogurt, and as
we sat down, we noticed a group of fe-
male college students a few tables over,
all wearing the same blue T-shirts.
And suddenly, they broke into a rousing
rendition of Lean On Me, the Bill With-
ers classic. They clapped and sang.
Lean on me, when youre not strong
And Ill be your friend,
Ill help you carry on.
When they finished, we applauded
again. Either we were incredibly lucky, or
someone taped a sign to our backs that
read, Perform for these people!
But I cant describe the feeling of hear-
ing youthful singing when youre down,
and how inspiring the sound of young,
uninhibited voices can be. They sound
like ... hope.
And this, out-of-staters, is what can
happen when you live in Michigan. Some-
times, when youre feeling blue, all you
need is a little maize.
Voices raised in gleeful harmony a cure for the blues

COMMENTARY
M I T C H A L B O M
TUESDAY IS Election Day
and parts of Northeastern
Pennsylvania have the rare
and wonderful opportunity
to nominate a dynamic
leader to represent them in
Congress.
Today, In the Arena enthusiastically
endorses Matt Cartwright in the Democrat-
ic primary for the 17th Congressional Dis-
trict.
If you are a registered Democrat and live
in Wilkes-Barre, Pittston, West Pittston,
Plains Township, Avoca, Dupont, Duryea,
Exeter, Hughestown, Jenkins Township,
Laflin, Wyoming, West Wyoming or Yates-
ville in Luzerne County, youre in the 17th
Congressional District and can vote to nom-
inate Cartwright for Congress on Tuesday.
If youre a resident of Scranton, Carbon-
dale, Dickson City, Dunmore, Jermyn, Jes-
sup, Blakely, Mayfield, Moosic, Old Forge,
Spring Brook, Thornhurst, certain parts of
Archbald, Olyphant, Throop or Taylor in
Lackawanna County, you live in the new
17th District where Democrats can take the
first step in sending Matt Cartwrights
strong voice, vision and values to Washing-
ton.
When coupled with parts of Carbon, Mon-
roe and Northampton counties, plus all of
Schuylkill County, we find ourselves at the
unintended epicenter of this years most
important congressional primary in Penn-
sylvania.
Lately we seem to be awash in officials
who labor strenuously at elevating ineffec-
tiveness to an art form capable even of
bringing about their re-elections.
They and the party leaders with whom
they cavort have gone out of their way to
support Cartwrights opponent, who so
often follows his finger headlong into every-
which-way the wind blows.
Cartwrights opponent, U.S. Rep. Tim
Holden, voted against the 2010 health insur-
ance reform law, its coverage of pre-existing
conditions and its provision extending cov-
erage to your son or daughter in their early
20s unable to find affordable health insur-
ance on their own.
Cartwrights opponent also voted to ex-
empt natural gas drillers from the Safe
Drinking Water Act requirement that they
list those chemicals forced underground in
the drilling process. This travesty, known as
the Halliburton Loophole, is now in our
national Safe Drinking Water Act.
What has become of the Congress when
elected representatives go out of their way
to oppose common-sense insurance reforms
while voting to keep under wraps the dan-
gerous chemicals that gas drillers pump
underground?
Cant you just hear the crisp snap of insur-
ance industry fingers and the crackle of
chemical drillers as congressmen pop out of
their seats to do their bidding?
Matt Cartwright wants to put a stop to
such behavior and go to Washington to
re-establish a strong voice for Northeastern
Pennsylvania within the halls of Congress.
It is a daunting task for sure, but Cart-
wright possesses the necessary skill set to
lead the way and make a difference.
A magna cum laude graduate of the pres-
tigious Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y.,
Cartwright is not afraid to roll up his
sleeves, tackle the problems of beleaguered
middle-class families and work to improve
our economy.
He is a Law Review graduate of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania Law School, active
in his community, a volunteer with the Boy
Scouts of America, a man eager to take his
talents and values to Washington and chip
away at its debilitating gridlock.
Cartwright and his wife, Marion, have
two sons and live in Moosic on the Luzerne-
Lackawanna county line.
When the new17th Congressional Dis-
trict was drawn by the cartographers in
Harrisburg so as to weaken Northeastern
Pennsylvania by dividing our population
centers and diluting our influence, Matt
Cartwright leaped into the race to unite and
strengthen the entire region.
Throughout this campaign Matt Cart-
wright has demonstrated an extraordinary
energy, intelligence and the natural lead-
ership that the job requires and that the
Pennsylvania congressional delegation so
desperately needs.
Cartwright has all the tools. He is the
most promising congressional candidate Ive
seen from this region in more than three
decades.
On Tuesday vote Matt Cartwright for
Congress . and for Northeastern Penn-
sylvania.
Cartwright the better choice for Dems on primary day

vor: Save more mon-
ey.
Plenty of us fret
about our finances, but not
enough of us get the know-
how we need to make savvy
money choices, buildour bank
balances and put our lives on
more secure footing.
Proponents of awareness-
raising campaigns such as
Aprils Financial Literacy
Month (www.financiallitera-

plify personal finance strate-
gies so that more of us decide
to stash away some green, si-
multaneously strengthening
our self-reliance and our com-
munities.
Prior to the Great Reces-
sion, Americas savings rate
had dipped pathetically low:
about 2.2 percent. Since June
2009, the nations more wary,
wallet-conscious people have
pushed the rate more than
twice as high, averaging 4.8
percent, according to a recent
Bloomberg News report.
Evenso, lots of people inLu-
zerne County, where the
median household income in
2010 hovered around $42,224,
probably are failing to set
aside the advised 5 percent in
savings, if any.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
W
HENNINE medi-
cal societies an-
nounce that at
least five common
practices in each of their spe-
cialties are unnecessary, waste-
ful or even harmful to patients,
everyone should take note. Ev-
eryone patients, doctors, the
health-care industry, insurers
and various levels of govern-
ment.
The point the societies are
making is not that we should
ration medicine but, rather, tai-
lor thecaretotheindividual pa-
tients particular health needs
andmedical andfamilyhistory.
That would be a significant de-
parture from simply ordering
high-tech tests or prescribing
certain medicines even when
experience dictates they are
not necessary, can be harmful
and only add to the health care
bill.
Yes, the mention of cutting
costs in health care stirs an un-
lovely stew of suspicions.
The outrage over recent rec-
ommendations for fewer mam-
mograms and Pap smears for
many, but not all, women
(again, depending on their in-
dividual history and medical
protocols) was telling in its
emotionalityandintheferocity
of advocacy groups.
Yet, the fact remains: Amer-
icans spend much more on
health than other countries
without returnfor that extra in-
vestment. One estimate is that
one-third of the $2 trillion
spent annuallyonhealthcareis
wasted. Just half of that one-
third estimate is a scandal.
So the conversation about fi-
nite resources and promise of
better care with fewer proce-
dures or medicines is too im-
portant to ignore as just one
more report, one more recom-
mendation.
The societies are encourag-
ing patients, doctors and other
health care professionals to
talk about the health risks of
over-testing or taking certain
drugs. For instance:
WhendoyouneedanEKG
or stress test for heart disease?
When do you need an
imaging test for a headache?
When do you need anti-
biotics for sinusitis?
Changing doctors custom-
ary practice and patients ex-
pectations will be hard work
with shared responsibility.
The participating medical
societies and consumer groups
would honor their own hard
workonthis initiative withreg-
ular updates on how well, or
not, their guidelines are work-
ing.

Judges sentence
unconscionable
T
heres a new judge in town:
Luzerne County Judge
Lesa Gelb.
Apparently, the pendulum is
swinging back from right to
left. Her recent sentencing of
three individuals for the dam-
age and theft of $190,000 of
WVIA property to one-year
probation for each and a com-
bined $5,000 restitution is
unconscionable.
No wonder we have so
many repeat offenders.

Service Center
still vital at 150
C
hildrens Service Center
recently celebrated its
150th anniversary with a
luncheon at the East Moun-
tain Inn, Plains Township.
More than 170 people attend-
ed, including college presi-
dents, corporate executives,
legislators and current and
former clients of the orga-
nization.
The center honored George
G. Conyngham Jr. with its
2012 Outstanding Commit-
ment to Children Award. A
member of the board of direc-
tors, and former chairman,
George is the current Conyng-
ham family member to serve
our agency. His great-great-
grandmother, Ruth Ann Butler
Conyngham, was a member of
the first Board of Lady Manag-
ers, the women who created
CSCs predecessor institution,
the Home for Friendless Chil-
dren. His father, Guthrie, and
his uncle Bill were longtime
members of the board of direc-
tors. George represents a
150-year Conyngham family
legacy of commitment and
service to Childrens Service
Center.
State Sens. John Yudichak
and Lisa Baker both recounted
personal stories of their rela-
tionship to Childrens Service
Center. In honor of his moth-
er, Sally, John established an
endowment fund that sup-
ports expressive arts at CSC.
Lisa served on the CSC board
of directors from 2005 to
2008.
But without a doubt, the
highlight of the luncheon was
a presentation by children in
our Partial Hospitalization
Program, a pre-kindergarten
through 12th-grade school
located at our South Franklin
Street campus. The children
represented every grade level
and shared personal thoughts
of how CSC has made a differ-
ence in their lives. From17-
year-old Will to 6-year-old
Brandon, these clients illus-
trated to all in the audience
exactly why CSC is still in
business after 150 years: We
understand, respect and love
the kids in our care.
We look back at 150 years of
caring commitment to our
community, which we have
summed up in an anniversary
tagline: 150 years of hope, help
and healing.
It is a rich history: our
founding as the Home for
Friendless Children in April
1862, an orphanage for chil-
dren of deceased Civil War
soldiers; the creation of the
Childrens Home in 1929, an
organization with a wider
mission to provide mental,
emotional and behavioral
health services to children and
adolescents; and then the
establishment of the Chil-
drens Service Center in 1938,
which has evolved into the
most comprehensive behavior-
al health organization in the
commonwealth.
We have survived because
we always have changed with
the times; we have responded
to community needs as they
have arisen.
And we continue to adapt.
We are implementing an elec-
tronic health record. Our
evidence-based programs are
supported by years of research
that shows they are effective.
Our programs are community
based they are designed to
keep kids at home with their
families as the family unit
looks for ways to help their
children find success.
We are proactively forming
partnerships with other health
care organizations. And we
constantly assess our progress
using program outcomes.
While thriving for 15 dec-
ades is quite an accomplish-
ment for any organization,
CSC is well-positioned to
enjoy many more years of
service to children, adoles-
cents and their families.
On the occasion of our
150th anniversary, we invite
the community to learn more
about what we have done and
continue to do so well: helping
kids get better and giving
families hope.

cscwv.org.
And if youd like us to make
a presentation to your compa-
ny or civic group, please give
me a call.

Basis for oil price
evades basic logic
A
ccording to so-called ex-
perts, there are a number
of factors contributing to
the price of oil. Among them:
speculator trading, which it
has been said is raising the
price of oil by up to 20 per-
cent. Some, including many
elected officials, feel this is a
high estimate and believe it is
closer to 10 percent.
The impact of the cost of oil
and gas to our economy can-
not be overstated, and in my
opinion, over time it has a
direct inverse correlation. But
I am no expert, only a tax-
paying customer.
On March 8, 2009 the price
of oil was approximately $95 a
barrel. On March 9, 2009,
supply and demand didnt
change; there was no major
crisis in the Middle East, no
major interruption in the
delivery or shipment of our
oil, no major natural disaster
that interfered with the refin-
ery of the oil, and there were
not any factors that would
lead us to believe the cost of
oil to our gas stations changed
in any way that would lower
the price. In other words, all
factors impacting the price of
a barrel of oil stayed constant
one day to the next with one
exception. Speculator trading.
The recession occurred
March 9, 2009, and the price
of a barrel of oil dipped from
approximately $95 to $55 a
barrel. This one-day spec-
ulator trading resulted in
approximately a 42 percent
impact on the price of a barrel
of oil. Not a 10 percent impact
(which would have lowered it
approximately $10), or 20
percent (which would have
lowered it approximately
$20), but 42 percent. If all the
variables remained constant
with the exception of one,
then we have to look at the
one variable as a direct cause
of change with a reasonable
degree of scientific certainty.
If I have come to the wrong
conclusion, then someone
please clarify this for me.
What I do not want is the
double talk we have been
hearing from our politicians
and those who represent the
oil companies. If I could speak
for all consumers, we are so,
so tired of hearing lame excus-
es that have been affecting our
lifestyles for the last several
decades without any accept-
able relief.

Programs at risk
under guvs plan
I
write to express my con-
cern over the proposed cuts
to human and social ser-
vices in Gov. Tom Corbetts
2013 budget.
While the proposed expan-
sion of the Human Service
Development Fund by in-
cluding six other funding
streams appears to favor local
discretion, the reality is that
the 20 percent decrease in
each of the seven streams will
cause loss of services and jobs,
regardless of where the dis-
cretion lies. Take one agency
as an example: the Family
Service Association of Wyom-
ing Valley.
One of the programs that
would be severely impacted is
Help Line, the around-the-
clock information/referral/
crisis access service that re-
sponds to residents of Lu-
zerne, Bradford, Sullivan,
Tioga and Wyoming counties.
Last year, Help Line respon-
ded to 99,775 caller inquiries,
ranging from requests for
emergency energy assistance
by senior citizens who have
run out of heating fuel to
requests for obtaining food for
infants. For the current fiscal
year, the number of calls to
the program has surpassed
80,000 through the first eight
months.
Ironically, Help Lines fund-
ing through the HSDF has
been cut by 50 percent over
the last three years, causing
the loss of one and a half full-
time positions. We have con-
tinued service by diminishing
our capacity for the quality of
service residents have come to
expect. Further funding cuts
threaten the very existence of
the program, which has been
heralded across the state as
the premier program of its
kind, incorporating a network
of 19 after-hours crisis ser-
vices, including mental health,
child abuse/neglect, aging
emergency services, runaway
services, sexual/domestic
assault, drug and alcohol
treatment assessment, and
emergency energy assistance.
Other nonprofit groups that
might suffer from the loss of
the fund include the Commis-
sion on Economic Opportuni-
ty, Volunteers of America and
Catholic Social Services.
While there are other ser-
vices that I could list, I wanted
to share with you preliminari-
ly the critical nature of this
situation. The loss of health
service funds at 20 percent
will impact people in a major
way.
The HSDF is essentially the
only funding stream that
serves people from18 years to
59 years. The timely interven-
tion and ability to serve peo-
ple in a flexible way, as provid-
ed by the HSDF, has an inher-
ent long-term value of saving
dollars. Without the availabil-
ity of services provided by
these funds, individuals have a
greater risk of not staying in
their own homes and being
placed in longer-term care.
I believe the vision of the
governor is to do everything
possible to maintain people in
their own communities, but I
feel that the Human Service
Development Fund supports
his plan. To continue to re-
duce the fund is in direct
contradiction to the gover-
nors intent.

AS THE space
shuttle Dis-
covery flew
three times
around Wash-
ington, a final
salute before
landing at
Dulles airport for retirement in
a museum, thousands on the
ground gazed upward with
marvel and pride. Yet what
they were witnessing, for all its
elegance, was a funeral march.
The shuttle was being car-
ried its pallbearer, a 747
because it cannot fly, nor will it
ever again. It was being sent for
interment. Above ground, to be
sure. But just as surely em-
balmed as Lenin in Red Square.
Is there a better symbol of
willed American decline? The
pity is not Discoverys retire-
ment beautiful as it was, the
shuttle proved too expensive
and risky to operate but that
it died without a successor.
The planned follow-on the
Constellation rocket-capsule
program to take humans back
into orbit and from there to the
moon was suddenly canceled
in 2010. And with that, control
of manned spaceflight was
gratuitously ceded to Russia
and China.
Russia went for the cash,
doubling its price for carrying
an astronaut into orbit to $55.8
million. (Return included.
Thank you, Boris.)
China goes for the glory.
Having already mastered
launch and rendezvous, the
Chinese plan to land on the
moon by 2025. They under-
stand well the value of sym-
bols. And nothing could better
symbolize China overtaking
America than its taking our
place on the moon, walking
over footprints first laid down,
then casually abandoned, by us.
Who cares, you say? What is
national greatness, scientific
prestige or inspiring the young
legacies of NASA when we
are in economic distress? OK.
But if were talking jobs and
growth, science and technol-
ogy, R&D and innovation
what President Obama insists
are the keys to an economy
built to last why on earth
cancel an incomparably sophis-
ticated, uniquely American
technological enterprise?
We lament the decline of
American manufacturing, yet
we stop production of the most
complex machine ever made by
man and cancel the successor
meant to return us to orbit.
The result? Abolition of thou-
sands of the most highly ad-
vanced aerospace jobs any-
where its workforce abruptly
unemployed and drifting away
from space flight, never to be
reconstituted.
Well, you say, we cant afford
all that in a time of massive
deficits.
There are always excuses for
putting off strenuous national
endeavors: deficits, joblessness,
poverty, whatever. But they
shall always be with us. Weve
had exactly five balanced bud-
gets since Alan Shepard rode
Freedom 7 in 1961. If we had
put off space exploration until
these earthbound social and
economic conundrums were
solved, our rocketry would be
about where North Koreas is
today.
Moreover, todays deficits are
not inevitable, nor even struc-
tural. They are partly the result
of the 2008 financial panic and
recession. Those are over now.
The rest is the result of a mas-
sive three-year expansion of
federal spending.
NASA will tell you that it has
a new program to go way be-
yond low-Earth orbit and, as
per Obamas instructions, land
on an asteroid by the
mid-2020s. Considering that
Constellation did not even last
five years between birth and
cancellation, dont hold your
breath for the asteroid landing.
Nor for the private sector to
get us back into orbit, as Oba-
ma assumes it will. True, haul-
ing MREs up and trash back
down could be done by private
vehicles. But manned flight is
infinitely more complex and
risky, requiring massive redun-
dancy and inevitably larger
expenditures. Can private enti-
ties really handle that? And
within the next lost decade or
two?
Neil Armstrong, James Love-
ll and Gene Cernan are deeply
skeptical. In a 2010 open letter,
they called Obamas cancella-
tion of Constellation a devas-
tating decision that destines
our nation to become one of
second or even third rate statu-
re.
Which is why museum visits
to the embalmed Discovery
will be sad indeed. America
rarely retreats from a new fron-
tier. Yet today we cant even do
what John Glenn did in 1962,
let alone fly a circa-1980 shut-
tle.
At least Discovery wont
suffer the fate of the Temeraire,
the British warship tenderly
rendered in Turners famous
painting The Fighting Tem-
eraire tugged to her last Berth
to be broken up, 1838. Too
beautiful for the scrapheap,
Discovery will lie intact, a
magnificent and melancholy
rebuke to constricted horizons.

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Aimee Dilger
and words by Mark E. Jones
HOW ABOUT
a little citizen
philosophy?
Lets put aside
our partisan
side for a
Sunday (sort
of) and talk
about what it takes to be a
practicing American these
days.
First rule is to be independ-
ent. While we might be affil-
iated with one of the political
parties, our duty as citizens is
to keep an open mind, then
choose. Politics is not sport.
Dont pick a team that you are
loyal to for life, like some of
us unfortunate Eagles fans.
Second is to be informed. I
always told the Little Ras-
cals (who have grown into
good citizens, I might add)
that the quality of your life is
more affected by the condi-
tion of your country and your
community than by your own
individual efforts. I know that
goes against the rugged indi-
vidualist mantra of the past
30 years, but I believe it is
true.
So pay attention, I would
say. Be informed. The deci-
sions your country makes
today will color your whole
life.
What would the country
look like today, for example, if
Americans had been informed
enough to reject President
George W. Bushs rush to war
in Iraq a decade ago? What if
we had been informed enough
to reject Vice President Dick
Cheneys lies about the con-
nection between Iraq and the
tragedy of 9/11?
Informed people at the time
knew that there was no con-
nection between Iraq and the
terrorism of 9/11, let alone
that there were no weapons of
mass destruction. Informed
people who even casually kept
up with international news
realized that Cheney was
starting a war for other rea-
sons.
Even very few journalists
were willing to dampen the
drumbeat for war. The TV
journalists were caught like
deer in headlights, frightened
by their marketing depart-
ments. Among the few who
rose above the fear was Mau-
reen Dowd of the New York
Times, who got an LOL from
me when she called Cheney a
Butler to Power in 2003.
And Democrats were no
more courageous. If Hillary
Clinton had opposed the Iraq
War, she would be president
today instead of four years
from now. Luckily for her,
President Obama, who re-
ceived a significant anti-war
vote, will do the heavy lifting
and get us out of the Mideast,
with her help, of course. She
has been an excellent secre-
tary of state. Republican pres-
idential hopeful Ron Pauls
stance on our military adven-
turism is the great attraction
for young people to his candi-
dacy.
Our country and the world
would be a better place if we
had not cowered to fear and
corruption, if we had not re-
mained quiet as the parasites
moved our nation to war after
9/11.
It is incredible to me that
my generation who knew the
blood, sweat and tears of Viet-
nam would be so willing to
acquiesce to another war for
profit produced by the same
Wag the Dog engineers.
The great puppet master of
the 1960s, Brown and Root
Corp., is now merely a divi-
sion of Halliburton. They just
shuffle the names around to
protect the guilty.
Cheney and former Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld,
the architects of Iraq, were
young dudes in the Nixon
White House during Vietnam
where they learned their craft
well. They transformed the
U.S. military over the past
decade through the priv-
atization of its functions into
a huge vessel for profits. Our
major export today is war.
They also created the behe-
moth which is Homeland
Security, a huge umbrella
bureaucracy that today over-
sees everything from disaster
management to, whoops, the
Secret Service.
We have infected the Mid-
dle East with private compa-
nies and high-paid mercenar-
ies who dont answer to any-
one and who detract from
what I believe is the true mis-
sion of a great nation, peace.
So, the big rule of good
citizenship is not waving a
flag or being a jingoist; it is
the duty to stay informed,
which is easier than ever to-
day. You cant be taken for a
sucker if you can spot a lie.
The final step to good citi-
zenship is a selfish one on my
part. I would ask my fellow
citizens to stop blaming the
media for things. The
media today is everyone
from Maureen Dowd to an
eighth-grader with a blog. It is
a brave new world in which to
be informed.
Please consider this salient
fact: that more journalists
died in Iraq than during World
War II.
And not one of them, I as-
sure you, gave his or her life
to propagate a lie. They died
to bring you the news.
Well-informed citizens cant be taken for suckers

STUDENT LOAN
debt has now sur-
passed credit card
debt as the second-
largest category of
consumer encum-
brances and is expect-
ed to reach $1 trillion
sometime in 2012.
One-third of all students owe more
than $20,000 in student loan debt.
Annual subsidies to higher education,
including direct grants to institutions,
grants to students and subsidized
loans, exceed $50 billion annually.
It is little wonder then that Presi-
dent Barack Obama addressed this
issue in a recent speech at the Uni-
versity of Michigan. He stated that as
tuition continues to increase, colleges
and universities can count on less
funding from the federal government.
With this type of pressure placed on
institutions, why does tuition tend to
grow faster than the Consumer Price
Index? There are several reasons
some justified and some not.
The Consumer Price Index mea-
sures a market basket of goods and
services that consumers buy, but it is
not the same market basket that col-
leges and universities purchase. New
buildings, scientific equipment, so-
phisticated computer networks, ac-
counting costs and, in general, goods
and services that colleges and uni-
versities purchase have increased in
price much faster than the products
consumers buy. The productivity gains
that have been realized in, for in-
stance, the automotive and basic man-
ufacturing industries, are the result of
increases in the use of more efficient
capital, such as computers and new
machinery.
Higher education has not been as
fortunate. Colleges and universities
are very dependent upon labor. In fact,
salaries and benefits of faculty and
staff amount to about 70 percent of
the budget at Misericordia University.
Most institutions have similar ratios.
William J. Baumol, an economist at
Princeton University and later New
York University, spent a years sabbat-
ical at the Ford Foundation in the
1960s studying institutions with high
labor costs, such as the arts and edu-
cation. His conclusion, as recounted in
a recent New York Times article by
economist Robert H. Frank, is that
certain sectors of the economy have a
much higher percentage of labor costs
and these costs grow much faster than
the cost of capital.
Baumol compares college instruc-
tion to musical performances. Beetho-
vens String Quartet No. 4 in C Minor
still takes four musicians as long to
practice and play in 2012 as it did in
1801. Similarly, it takes almost as long
to teach an introductory course in
economics or history today as it did
100 years ago.
There is some hope that greater
productivity gains in colleges can be
realized. Major universities such as
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology and Rice University are placing
often-taught introductory and inter-
mediate undergraduate courses on-
line. Probably sooner than later, col-
lege faculty throughout the country
will be using these courses for most of
their basic instruction, reserving in-
class time for more thoughtful dis-
cussions and in-depth analysis.
For many students, online education
is becoming a substitute for the tradi-
tional class. At other institutions, such
as Misericordia, hybrid classes that
employ both brick-and-click tech-
nologies allow students the opportuni-
ty to learn content that is best present-
ed through technology while also
enjoying the advantage of in-person
faculty structure.
Clearly, members of the public are
aware of the increasing cost of tuition,
but they seem equally aware of the
benefits of a college education. A re-
cent study by the Pew Foundation
showed that college presidents and
the general public both believe that
college graduates on the whole make
20 percent more each year than those
who do not graduate college. Both
groups are on target.
According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, last year a college graduate
made $19,500 more than his or her
high school graduate counterparts.
College graduates also are half as
likely to be unemployed and 70 per-
cent less likely to be in family financial
straits.
So, if college is worth it, how can we
keep costs relatively low? According
to Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Fast-
web and FinAid, a national clearin-
ghouse for helping to contain college
costs, there are several steps students
can take to mitigate their costs.
He recommends students enroll full
time at a college with a high four-year
graduation rate and that they try to
avoid transferring to another college
or changing majors. When a student
needs to retake a course or catch up in
his or her major, he suggests summer
classes because they are usually less
expensive. It also is important, Kan-
trowitz says, to graduate on time, use
tax-deferred college savings plans and
to use a colleges short-term tuition
payment plan over long-term debt.
These and many other strategies
can reduce the cost of college and,
consequently, debt.
Above all, make sure that the in-
stitutions you are visiting genuinely
care about students academically,
personally and financially. If they do, it
can make a big difference in how long
it takes to graduate. After all, short-
ening the time to graduation is the
best way to reduce college debt.

Recalling a man
of selfless faith
T
he recent passing into
eternal life of Monsignor
Francis Callahan, pastor of
the former St. Therese Parish
in South Wilkes-Barre, is diffi-
cult for those of us who knew
and loved him.
Monsignor was my boss of
12 years, a friend, as well as
my pastor of 24 years. As a
busy priest, he always had
time for those who phoned or
dropped by to tell him of
their troubles or life happen-
ings, and they listened for his
helpful advice.
Monsignor often shared
humorous stories from his
younger days. He would enjoy
an occasional practical joke.
He never failed to have a cake,
card and gift for employees
and friends on their birthdays.
He sent cards to his Jewish
neighbors on their holy days.
He would drop everything
when he was called to area
hospitals for a sick call, often
for people he didnt know, and
while he himself was battling
serious health issues. He re-
cently made time to preside at
a blessing ceremony of the
Pro-Life Center in Wilkes-
Barre. Monsignor shared his
expertise with many through
letter-writing or by composing
an article. When I planned a
trip to the Vatican, he shared
with me his best recommenda-
tions so that my pilgrimage
ran smoothly.
He had a special love for his
brother clergy and the many
sisters of various religious
orders with whom he formed
lifelong friendships. Monsig-
nor worked closely with the
late Bishop McCormick, thus,
well knew how to set up the
sanctuary beautifully to pre-
pare for church celebrations
such as Confirmation and Holy
Week. Every Christmas and
Easter, and in between, Mon-
signor publicly thanked those
who helped him with church
activities.
Next to Monsignors first
love, the church, was his love
for his brother, nieces, neph-
ews and all his family, who
meant the world to him.
Monsignor would have
celebrated his 40th year of
ordination to the priesthood
on May 13. May God in his
goodness and mercy grant to
Monsignor a grand celebration
in the mansions of heaven
prepared for those who love
him.

Theft of money
upset this diner
I
recently dropped my wallet
in a booth at a local restau-
rant. The party seated after
me in the booth apparently
removed all the cash from the
wallet and concealed it within
the crease of the seat.
I was in the restaurant when
the worker came to their table
to ask if they had found the
wallet, to which they respon-
ded no. When the employee
attempted to look around the
booth, the party of four re-
fused to move. The worker
was unable to locate the wallet
until after the party left the
restaurant.
Of course the wallet was
found without the large sum of
money inside. (Well, large to
me, as I am retired and on a
fixed income.)
To those people: You are no
better than the thieves we read
about in the newspaper every
day. Enjoy your stolen money;
your meal is on me apparently!

LOS ANGELES Hundreds of glow
sticks luminesced over the sold-out
crowd at Gibson Amphitheatre on a re-
cent Friday night. Prepubescent girls
snapped cell-phone pictures and out-
screamed one another as younger kids
were hoisted onto parents shoulders for
better views.
The cheers morphed into hysteria as
Big Time Rush emerged.
The scene on stage is familiar: five
seemingly interchangeable young guys
linkedbyonebandnameandanabilityto
dance with military precision, deliver
harmonies and exude boy-next-door
charm.
Big Time Rush is at the crest of a new
boy-band wave, yet the L.A.-made group
hearkens to an era when Backstreet
Boys, NSync and 98 Degrees ruled the
charts.
Judging from recent sold-out shows
for other young groups such as multicul-
tural British heartthrobs the Wanted and
R&Bteensensations Mindless Behavior,
as well as the buzz surrounding reality
show magnate Simon Cowells creation
One Direction, the re-emergence of the
boy band has only just begun.
In what seems to be as predictably cy-
clical as the stock market, bubble-gum
bands arebackandtryingtofill avoidleft
by the maturation of Justin Bieber and
other precursors. And as always, theyre
working extra hard in competing with
one another to stand out.

Boy bands are back on track

Dr. BernardLeoRemakus of Hallstead
can spin quite the story, as proven in his
latest fiction work Mia. He attributes
his ability to his upbringing in the
Heights section of Wilkes-Barre.
Language was a very big thing in my
childhood, the ability to communicate,
he said. It was a melting pot in the
Heights; you want to talk about the en-
tire world coming to-
gether in a fewblocks.
All the different na-
tionalities there gave
me an opportunity to
seelanguageandcom-
munication in a lot of
different forms.
As a child, Remakus
said, to be socially
accepted was to
be able to tell a
good story.
Our entertain-
ment was whoev-
er was onThe Ed
Sullivan Show,
and the next day
kids would be tell-
ingthe same jokes
theysawthenight
before. But you
had to add your
own style to it, be
able to make the
story your own.
Remakus did
that with Mia,
an intricately
woven tale sprinkled with controversial
subjects.
Still in this world, no matter how lib-
eral we think we are, there are a lot of
taboos that people want to pretenddont
exist.
Thebookdeals withterrorism, special
government operations, and gender-
reassignment surgery. Overall it is the
tale of mother and son, Molly and Peter
Adams, who believe Zack Adams, hus-
band and father, has gone missing in ac-
tionwhile ona missiontocapture a high-
ly elusive terrorist, Chameleon.
Mia deals with the emotional state
of all the characters, especially when
Mia, who is actually Zack and has under-
gone surgery due to a devastating acci-
dent on the field, pops up in their lives.
Remakus looked to his religion for in-
spiration.
Being a Catholic, in the eyes of the
church they have so many condemna-
tions about alternate lifestyles, he said.
I wondered if the man and woman were
married as Catholics and if anything
happened to the man and he became a
woman, how would the church feel
about this? This is a mancoming back as
a woman and continuing a loving rela-
tionship with his wife, which is an inter-
esting slant.
Remakus medical experience with
gender-reassignment surgery was exten-
sive in medical school, though he had a
tendency to look beyond the procedure
and see the person within. He felt a need
to relay this angle of his experience.
With this story, I wanted to bring
something to the table that showed peo-
ple who undergo gender reassignment
are very real people, with families, with
feelings, emotions and needs.
I wanted to bring Mia out as an ex-
traordinarily likable person, beautiful,
with many skills, whose sex really had
nothing to do with her mission in life. At
that point, her missionwas toessentially
save the lives of a wife andchildwhothis
person loved dearly and realized were in
trouble. Molly was depressed, Pete was
incorrigible, all because of the fact that
they learned the father and husband was
no longer around.
Mia was part of a very nice ruse inthe
CIA and decided to come back and save
Molly and Petes lives not as a man or a
womanbut as a personwho simply loves
two other people.
Mia, which is a publish-on-demand
book, can be ordered at any local book-
store or purchased in an e-edition. For
personalized copies, send a check for
$13.95 to Remakus at P.O. Box 367, Hall-

Remakus attended Kings College,
what was then East Stroudsburg State
College, then Temple University School
of Medicine. He has publishedthree nov-
els, Keystone, Cassidys Solution
and Mia, three works of non-fiction,
The Malpractice Epidemic, Medicine
From The Heart and Medicine Be-
tween The Lines, and has authored
more than 200 scientific articles in vari-
ous medical publications.

OSANGELESNo one couldimagine see-
ing the N-word in the title of a network TV
show, but the B-word is OK with ABC.
The network uses the letter B as an abbreviation
for bitch in the title of its new Wednesday-night
sitcomDont Trust the B---- in Apt. 23. And ABCs
prime-time soap GCB is based on the book Good
Christian Bitches, though it says the B actually
stands for belles.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April
19). You have a few if
onlys, and they want to
be explored today. Rest
assured that you did the
best you could with what
you had and what you
knew. Those things you
wish you had done will
teach you what to do
today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Your love of family comes
through in all you do
today, from the small act
of taking out the trash to
the bigger, heartfelt ges-
tures. You cant be every-
thing to your people, but
you sure knock yourself
out trying.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Avoiding work will wind up
being more work than just
doing the work in the first
place. Keep thinking about
the amazing benefits you
will receive in the future
when you seize the oppor-
tunity to knuckle down.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Youll want to use all 1,440
minutes of this day to
make life better for those
you love. Remember to
include yourself in that
equation. Getting enough
of the basics (sleep, nutri-
tion, etc.) is what allows
you to keep giving.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
element of surprise could
cause you to react in a
less than optimum way.
However, you might see
this occurrence as a gift.
It is an opportunity for
improvement. Just ask
yourself: What response
should I choose next
time?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
As you observe that
good manners are on
the decline, you may feel
like a lone crusader on
an impossible mission of
etiquette. Youll find its
not so impossible after
all, though, because many
will follow your stellar
example.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You dont always do what
you set out to do. Other
peoples plans tend to get
in the way of your goals.
You have a big heart, and
you cant help but accom-
modate those who live
inside it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Youre in awe of those
who can do that which
you cannot do but wish
you could. This is human
nature. Eventually, you will
become just like the ones
you idolize, and others will
idolize you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You try to progress
at every turn. You dont
mind digging in and learn-
ing what you can; the risk
seems minimal to you.
When you have nothing
to lose, youre in the best
position.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Thinking too much
can be a problem. Your
energy is best spent doing,
creating, acting and react-
ing. Thinking only makes
matters more complicated
than they need to be at
this point.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The one you love is also
in love with you. This reci-
procity doesnt guarantee
an easy road, but it sure
is a better start than the
opposite dynamic would
be. Be happy for all you
have going for you!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Change will be simple
because youre in an
experimental, playful
mood. Different actions
will yield different results.
If you dont like what
youre getting, give some-
thing else, and see what
happens.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (April
22). Focusing on the best
path will be a challenge,
as you have many differ-
ent talents. Sometimes
you just have to choose
what you love the most
and stick with it. Doing
so brings a trophy in
November. Finances will
improve, and a special
relationship helps matters.
August brings a vacation
with loved ones. Cancer
and Aquarius people adore
you. Your lucky numbers
are: 40, 12, 21, 49 and 6.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles,
CA 90069
4/22
DEAR ABBY
Online dater should take
friends helpful advice
Dear Abby:
Melody has
been my best
friend since
we were in
the fourth
grade. (Were
now in our 30s.) Over the
past few years, Melodys life
has changed. She separated
from her husband, lives
alone and shares custody of
their three children.
She started dating almost
immediately after her sepa-
ration, going out with almost
anyone who showed her a
little attention. Shes now
involved with a man who
told her hes bisexual and
has never taken her out on
a date. Shes always crying
on my shoulder because she
ends up with losers, yet the
picture she has on her profile
on all the dating sites shows
her in a skimpy bikini.
One evening Melody asked
me why she cant attract a
decent man. I told her that
she needs to love herself be-
fore she can be loved. I also
mentioned that if she wants
to stop attracting sleazy
men, she should consider
changing her profile picture.
She became angry and hasnt
spoken to me since.
As a friend I felt it was my
responsibility to tell her the
truth. I want to help get her
life back on track in a posi-
tive way. Was I wrong to be
honest with her?
Had Her Best Interests at
Heart
Dear Had: Your straight
answer clearly wasnt what
your friend wanted to hear,
but you did the right thing
by being honest with her. In
light of the length of your
friendship, call and offer her
an apology if I hurt your
feelings. Lets hope that
once she cools off, shell ap-
preciate that you said some-
thing important. Because
of the way shes advertising
herself on her profile, its
little wonder the men shes
attracting are looking for
nothing more than two head-
lights and a tan. Yipes!
Dear Abby: When I was
25 I placed a baby girl for
adoption. I made a decision
I thought was best for her. I
am 50 now and still believe I
made the right decision.
Last year she searched for
and found me. I answered
all her questions and eventu-
ally met with her and her
parents. She has a wonder-
ful family and had a great
childhood. We have stayed in
touch through email.
She wanted to meet my
family, but I put her off for
months. Eventually I gave
in, and she met some of my
siblings and their families.
She and her cousins get
along well and stay in touch
through Facebook or other
social sites.
Abby, I feel nothing to-
ward this girl. There is no
maternal attachment. I did
my job as a good mother and
made sure she had the home
I could not give her. If I nev-
er see her again it wouldnt
bother me.
I have looked online for
other women who feel as I
do, but all I find are women
in constant pain and sorrow
over a child they gave up. I
cant be the only woman who
feels this way. I just need to
know Im not a cold-hearted
freak.
Fine With My Decision
Dear Fine: You are not a
cold-hearted freak. Youre a
woman who never bonded
with her baby. Please stop
beating yourself up for
not feeling something for
a person who is a virtual
stranger. When I hear from
other women who read this
letter and who feel as you
do please notice I didnt
say if I hear from them I
will share their thoughts
with you. You have not been
able to find a group online
because they are not looking
for support from others.

Mindless Behaviors Jacob

Princeton Perez, whos from
L.A., said hes aware their pop-
ularity could fade as fast as it ar-
rived. In this camp, they really
believe in working hard. Our
manager always told us to never
get comfortablebecauseit canall
go away really fast, he said. A
lot of people think it came out of
nowhere, but weve been at it for
three years.
Though Mindless Behavior is
geared more for the urban mar-
ket, their music like that of
their dreamy boy peers is
loaded with enough sugary pop,
dance and R&B melodies to
charm tweens across America
until at least the end of summer
break.
Since Big Time Rush was as-
sembled for the Nickelodeon
show of the same name in 2009
the bands TV series has become
a hit and its now behind two al-

slew of made-for-TV films, in-
cluding the Beatles-themed Big
Time Movie, which attracted13
million total viewers when it
aired this month, according to
Nielsen. After dates on the
groups current tour sold out in
minutes, it announced an exten-
sive summer trek.
BigTime Rushfollows a mold,
once perfected by the Monkees,
in which a fictional artist-based
sitcom extends to profitable
tours, music and merchandise.

Paul Lee, president of the ABC
Entertainment Group, said in Ja-
nuary that on broadcast televi-
sion, as it turns out, that isnt a
wordyouwant touse inthe title.
Broadcast standards allow the
word on TV, and its use has tri-
pled in the past decade, but these
are the first American shows to
tease with Bs in their titles.
Is it just coincidence? A hip re-
claiming of the word? A blatant
attention grab? Or could it reflect
something more telling, given
the current climate of political
rhetoric challenging reproduc-
tive rights: a linguistic represen-
tation of backsliding efforts to-
ward gender equality?
No ABC executives were avail-
able to answer these questions,
but experts in media, language
and womens issues say yes to al-
most all of the above.
Obviously, theyre using it to
be polarizing and controversial
and attention-getting. Why else
would you use that word? asks
Erin M. Fuller, president of the
Alliance for Women in Media. I
dont think were in a time where
that wordis a celebrationof wom-
en.
Especially when politically,
birth control has been reopened
as an issue for the first time in
decades, said Erin Matson, ac-
tionvicepresident for theNation-
al Organization for Women.
Theres a frightening common-
ality between what you see on
TV, inentertainment, andinCon-
gress, wherethewar onwomenis
being led: The conversationis be-
ing driven almost exclusively by
men.
GCB is based on a novel by
Kim Gatlin, who serves as the
lone female writer on the show.
GCB, starring Kristen Cheno-
wethandLeslie Bibb, satirizes fe-
male stereotypes and the hypoc-
risy of devout, grown-up mean
girls in a wealthy Dallas church-
going community.
In one episode, Chenoweths
character declares, Cleavage
makes your cross hang straight.
Dont Trust the B---- in Apt.
23 stars Shickshinny native
Krysten Ritter as an unpredict-
able New York livewire who bul-
lies her naive Midwestern room-
mate. The show, created by Nah-
natchka Khan, one of three wom-
en credited on the writing team
of six, seems to take stereotypes
to heart (at least in the first two
episodes): A woman who seems
sweet andhelpful at first glance is
really an untrustworthy snake
whos friendly with men and cru-
el to women, stealing her room-
mates money in one episode and
sleeping with her fiance in the
next.
Its very clear that shes actual-
ly a sociopath, says Andi Zeisler,
co-founder and editorial director
of Bitch Magazine. Its not like
heres astrong, confident woman,
and shes head bitch in charge.
Shes actually a sociopath, and
she treats people horribly.
The B-word was rarely heard
on TV when Bitch Magazine be-
ganin1996. Founders of the femi-
nist pop-culture magazine were
reacting to the idea of bitch as
this go-to gendered insult in a
world of very feasible and acces-
sible gender-neutral ways of say-
ing you dont like what someone
is doing, Zeisler said.
ABC is using the term the old-
fashioned way.
Their intention was never to
really reclaim the word, she
said. Television shows ultimate-
ly want to be apolitical. They
dont want to engage with the
kinds of rhetoric that in real life
translates into incredibly ugly re-
minders that thesejudgments are
still really powerful and really
commonplace.
Because the insult is abbreviat-
ed, it kind of defangs whats sup-
posed to be edgy about the
shows, she said, and the B-titles
end up looking like a blatant
grab at relevance.
Branding expert Dorie Clark
agrees. The Bs arent meant tobe
sexist or denigrating, she said,
but toget peopletalkingand, ulti-
mately, to get ratings. Producers
and executives protect them-
selves by not spelling out the B-
word: Theyre trying to be pro-
vocative to push the envelope
and still manage to make it ac-
ceptable when it comes time to
be listed in TV Guide.
ABC is the rare network head-
ed by a woman: Anne Sweeney,
co-chairman of Disney Media
Networks and president of the
Disney-ABC Television Group,
has been named the most power-
ful woman in entertainment by
the Hollywood Reporter the past
two years. Such female leader-
ship actually gives the shows
more cover, Clark said.
If a male executive was green-
lighting a show with the word
bitch in the title, he may well be
criticized and may be called a
sexist, where if a woman is doing
that, shes more immune to these
criticisms, she said. To rise to
the level of the top of the net-
work, your No. 1 responsibility is
to get good ratings.
Michael Taylor, chair of Film
and Television Production at the
USC School of Cinematic Arts,
agrees the Bs are all about buzz.
The reason the network is us-
ing the word in the title of the
show is for its shock value, he
said. It creates talk about it, and
thats exactly what the network
wants.
Besides, the word isnt offen-
sive to everyone. Madonna used
it as a termof endearment in a re-
cent interview. Andreferencingit
soopenlycouldactuallytake the
charge out of the word, Taylor
said, so it no longer seems con-
troversial or derogatory.
GCB and Dont Trust the
B---- in Apt. 23 arent the first to
use the B-word in a cheeky way.
Thediet bookSkinnyBitch was
a No. 1NewYork Times best-sell-
er in2007, andfeminist writer Jo-
reen published The BITCH
Manifesto back in 1970 in an ef-
fort to redefine and claim the
word, which she said serves the
social function of isolating and
discrediting a class of people.
B-WORD
ABCs prime-time soap GCB is based on the book Good Christian
Bitches, though it says the B actually stands for belles. In a

The effect of violence on small
communities continues to be one of
the most provocative themes for
mystery fiction. Joseph Olshan ex-
pands that plot device for an in-
depth character study of a woman
who is emotionally stagnant be-
cause of her inability to forgive
those she loves.
Olshan, best known for his non-
genre fiction such as The Conversa-
tion and Cla-
ras Heart,
makes a bold
and quite effec-
tive foray into
crime fiction in
Cloudland.
Using the hunt
for a serial kill-
er as his founda-
tion, Olshans
sturdy plot
builds on his be-
lievable charac-
ters. Olshans
greatest risk
and his most
persuasive is creating a lead char-
acter who is unlikable yet also intri-
guing enough to make readers want
to delve into Cloudland.
While she calls a small Vermont
town home, Catherine Winslows
community is even more insular
the isolated Cloudland Road where
only three families live. Catherine is
pulled into the search for a serial
killer after she finds the frozen body
of a missing nurse during a walk in
an orchard near her house. Cathe-
rine becomes the sounding board for
her neighbor Anthony Waite, a fo-
rensic psychiatrist assisting the po-
lice in the investigation of the killer
who has been striking in the upper
valley region of Vermont and New
Hampshire. Cloudland makes
striking parallels between the me-
thodical police investigation and the
chaos that rules in the neighbors
homes.
Anthonys marriage is in tatters
and their other neighbor has an un-
usual living arrangement. But its
Catherine whose prickly personality
dominates the intriguing Cloud-
land.
A former investigative reporter
and college professor, Catherine
makes a good salary writing a syn-
dicated household tips column.
Catherines own home is quickly
corroding, which she cant seem to
recognize. Too often, she wants to
gather the gloom around her.
Catherine is stymied by her failure
to love unconditionally, to accept
flaws in others. It cost her a mar-
riage and is alienating her grown
daughter. Yet, Catherine is unable to
forget an affair with a student that
had violent undertones the sort
of dark, disturbing love that cuts
deeper than anything and in so do-
ing becomes its own justification.
Although Catherine turns her
back on people, Olshans empathetic
shaping of this character makes her
hard to forget. And the author also
often lightens the tone of Cloud-
land with quite a few household
tips that also move along the plot.

Enough nonfiction has been writ-
ten about Chicago to fill a medium-
size library. Its probably up there
with New York and London in that
regard.
City of Scoundrels will not be-
long on the top shelf of Chicago lit,
but its nevertheless a compelling
story.
Author Gary Krist focuses on 12
days in July 1919, when Chicago was
the scene of a sensational crash of a
Goodyear blimp into a downtown
bank, the hunt for a child killer, the
infamous South Side race riot, and a
paralyzing transit strike.
On their own, each of these events
would have made
good books and, in
fact, some have.
Krists attempt
to weave them to-
gether and present
them as a crucible
of modern Chica-
go is a bit
tortured. Early in
the book, Krist
writes that the events of that sum-
mer would leave Chicago a changed
and chastened city, its greatest am-
bitions for the future suddenly
threatened by the spectacle of a com-
munity hopelessly at war with it-
self.C
Krist does not present much evi-
dence that the events really changed
Chicago, leaving sentences like the
one above sounding simply windy.
And later, when reporting on the
unrelated suicide of a circuit court
judge, Krist writes: For most Chica-
goans, then, the judges suicide was
just one more mystery, one more
ghastly and inexplicable tragedy to
augment the already pervasive sense
of chaos in the city. Something
seemed fundamentally wrong B&
Krist has great characters to work
with, though, led by Big Bill Thomp-
son, Chicagos last Republican may-
or. If the descriptor maverick was
not coined for him, it should have
been.
His running feud with Republican
Gov. Frank Lowden, the son of an Io-
wa farmer-blacksmith with a disdain
for Thompson-style politics, fuels
Krists narrative. Both men had pres-
idential aspirations; neither did the
other any political favors.
A nice touch by Krist is dropping
in contemporaneous passages from
the diary of a young wealthy Chicago
woman, trying to decide between
two suitors. They show that the ebb
and flow of everyday life, for many
people, is more interesting than the
sensational.
Krist relies heavily on newspaper
accounts, and the storytelling suf-
fers. Quotes abound from Chicagos
six daily newspapers, a weekly or
two and a couple of out-of-town pa-
pers. Krist would have been better
off using his own words to carry the
story.
By the way, the best quote in the
book is in the preface, from noto-
riously corrupt Alderman Bath-
house John Coughlin, who de-
clared: Chicago aint no Sunday
School.

inancial thrillers once the least interesting category of mys-
teries now flourish, thanks to vivid storytelling and an eco-
nomic downturn that shows how high the stakes can be.
Mike Coopers fresh approach in Clawback mixes high-octane action
with the details of banking and money management for a solid plot.
Silas Cade is a former black ops soldier
who now works as a consultant, forcing
sleazy investment managers to give back
millions to managers who are a
little less sleazy.
Silas makes sure those former
Masters of the Universe, as Tom
Wolfe called them, are no longer
on top of the world. Silas has his
own definition of clawbacka
term of art, referring to the
mandatory return of compensa-
tion paid on a deal that later
goes bad. Sometimes the
claw is literal.
Silas has just finished
retrieving $10 million for a hedge
fund manager when his client is
murdered. But this may not be the
first money manager killed. Wall
Street mogul Quint Ganderson claims
that several other managers each with a
history of losing money have been mur-
dered and he hires Silas to ferret out the
assassin. Clara Dawson, a financial blogger
looking for a big story, joins Silas investiga-
tion. Silas network of shadowy computer
experts follow the money to try to
track down who is killing the hedge-
fund managers while Clara
researches the backgrounds
of the companies.
While Cooper doesnt
make the victims sympa-
thetic, he illustrates how the
financial crisis and greed af-
fect all aspects of society. Coop-
er, the pseudonym for a former
investments executive, brings an in-
siders view of the financial world.
Cooper shapes Silas as an enig-
matic hero whose clients thrive on
cutting-edge technology while Silas de-
pends on disposable technology to keep
off the grid.
In his own way, Silas is a spy who
lives in the shadows, without a home
phone or even a computer that
could be traced to him.
Clawbacks tense plot offers
good payback.

The Wanted, managed by the
man behind Justin Bieber, Scott
Scooter Braun, hit No. 1on the
iTunes popchart withits U.S. sin-
gle, Glad You Came. The song
(on the Def Jam label, just like
Bieber) was bolstered in part
when the cast of Glee covered
it. Its now sold more than 1 mil-
lion copies in the U.S. since its re-
lease in January.
BTRmember Kendall Schmidt
says its latest success proves its
more than a novelty. Wed all be
lying if we said the first thing we
planned to do was sing in a boy
band. We all knew we were sign-
ing upfor anopportunity of a life-
time, said Schmidt, 21, whos
based in L.A. We are trying our
best to make it our band and not
something we signed up for.
Not all the up-and-coming boy
bands areSvengalied, but thema-
jority are the product of industry
masterminds looking to capital-
ize on the budding hormones of
juveniles.
MindlessBehaviorsco-manag-
er, Keisha Gamble of Conjunc-
tionEntertainment, andthecom-
panys chief executive, Walter W.
MillsapIII, sawavoidintheR&B
market after B2K (a disciple of
the 1980s sensation New Edi-
tion) fell out of fashionmore than
a decade ago. So along with
StreamlineRecords headVincent
Herbert, they auditioned teens
for thenewgroup. It hadbeen10
years since there had been a boy
band that catered to the urban
community, said Gamble. Lit-
tle girls want something to latch
on to. Theres only been Justin
Bieber, so it was perfect timing
for something like this to come
along. Mindless Behavior,
whose debut came out in Sep-
tember, is the only band of the
bunch whose members are all
African American.
Herbert said the goal was to
calculate a bulletproof strategy
for the bandof 15-year-olds. Since
he has a joint venture with Inter-
scope and clout from signing La-
dy Gaga, he was able to fast-track
them into a deal and secured
plumopening slots on tours with
the Backstreet Boys, Justin Bieb-
er and Janet Jackson. The bands
debut, 1Girl, bowed at No.2 on
Billboards R&B/Hip-Hop al-
bums last fall.
Late last year the boys quickly
amassed more than $100,000 in
merchandise sales on Inter-
scopes online store andwere sec-
ond behind Gaga in terms of
sales. We tookour time thinking
about the marketing, Herbert
said. I dont believe in losing.
Youlookat their albumandevery
songis about girls. Girls at 14and
15 years old are excited about
boys.
Not everyone is buying in. Car-
son Daly, who was host of MTVs
Total Request Live during the
boom of boy bands in the late
1990s, is skeptical that this new
wave of cute groups will rise to
the heights of their predecessors.
We moved further away from
the produced pop bands. The
Spice Girls, NSyncs and Back-
street Boys that was an era
that I think is over.
How many pop groups are
you hearing on the radio? asked
Daly, who hosts The Voice and
co-anchors a morning show on
KAMP-FM. I play Top 40 every
day. You just dont see these
young boy bands or girl groups.
Its not the thing thats working
right now.
Unless, of course, youre a fan
who posts about these band
members every move on blogs
like Oh No They Didnt, where a
blogger recently referred to One
Direction as flaw-free angels.
The group, like the Wanted and
Mindless Behavior, include all
the requisite boy-band arche-
types needed to attract starry-
eyed fans (i.e. the rebellious one,
the sensitive one, the shy one,
and so on.)
As a result, the Wanted was
forced to make an 11th-hour ven-
ue swap from L.A.s Roxy to El
Rey to accommodate the de-
mand for tickets, and this is be-
fore its stateside album release
date of April 24.

NEW YORK Are you filled
with wanderlust, but sticking
close to home because you lack a
like-minded companion? Solo
travel is an extraordinary, acces-
sible opportunity that can in-
volve big or small adventures,
easy or difficult as you choose.
You can do what you want,
when you want, how you want,
where you want. You pick your
own pace, budget, itinerary and
can always change your mind on
a whim, never having to nego-
tiate. The experience can be lib-
erating and thrilling, igniting a
rewarding sense of accomplish-
ment, and the detachment from
your real life is often ther-
apeutic.
When entering a newplace on
your own, you may notice more
than you do when you travel
with others. I strike up conversa-
tions more easily when Im solo,
something Ive done in dozens of
countries across six continents.
But not all destinations are right
for solo travelers. Here are some
tips.
Visit walkable destinations
connected by trains, buses, fer-
ries and flights. Getting around
this way will be straightforward,
prices will be per person, and
you increase your odds of meet-
ing others, unlike destinations
best seen or reached by car,
where there may be fewer inter-
actions. Ive found places out-
side the U.S. and Caribbean are
sometimes more friendly to indi-
viduals, with reduced-fare sin-
gle-person rooms. Youth hostels
are great for 20somethings and
travelers of any age on tight bud-
gets who crave conversation and
dont need upscale accommoda-
tions.
Traveling offseason can save
a lot of money. One year in Octo-
ber, it was cheaper for me to
spend a week in Costa Rica than
to visit the Adirondacks in up-
state New York. The off-peak
flight, local transport and single
accommodation in Costa Rica
was less than the car rental and
pricier double rooms during fall
foliage season here.
If you cant fly nonstop, turn
your stopovers into perks. Ive
visited Fiji, Iceland, London, Pa-
ris andRome, at noextra cost, all
on extended layovers.
Ask others about their vaca-
tions to get ideas for your own
trips, and read up online and in
guidebooks. Publishers can vary
tremendously so look at a varie-
ty of brands in a bookstore or li-
brary, then travel with a guide-
book that best suits your prior-
ities.
Keep expectations to a mini-
mumso youre not disappointed.
Instead, be flexible, go with the
flow and treasure the unexpect-
ed. Ive stumbled upon some
amazing hidden gems. Bedouins
invited me for tea in the caves of
Petra, anda Portuguese model in
Lisbon declared his affection for
me by saying it was love at first
look.
Be prepared for the occa-
sional bad day. Ive been tired,
cranky, lonely and frustrated,
suffering from food poisoning
and stressed out by emergency
landings, 14-hour flight delays,
altercations with customs offi-
cials, bad weather and other
complications. But temporary
misery is part of travel, and can
help you enjoy the magnificent
moments that much more. And
sometimes the worst experienc-
es generate great stories later
on.
Write in a journal every
night. It records your adventures
while also giving you the conver-
sational outlet to express and
process the details of your ac-
tion-packed day.
When dining alone, bring a
book or journal. Eating at the bar
may feel more comfortable than
a table for one.
Be respectful, inconspicu-
ous and dress to blend in. Local
fashion norms vary, but I typical-
ly wear jeans with subdued col-
ors, dark shoes and subtle acces-
sories so as not to attract undue
attention.
English has become the
worlds second language, but
learning to say hello and thank
you in the local tongue goes a
long way.
Be cautious but not para-
noid. If theres a site that piques
your interest, but its out of the
way or you have concerns about
personal safety, take a day tour
or hire a guide. Independent fe-
male travelers may face harass-
ment and other dangers, while
men traveling alone may be tar-
geted by scam artists and touts
peddling illicit activities.
Ignoring verbal aggressors
whether beggars, vendors or
passers-by is frequently the
best defense, although in some
cultures, like the markets in Is-
tanbul, a simple no, thank you
works better. Intimidation and
harassment are never fun; feel
empowered by your ability to
say no.
Check guidebooks and con-
sult with local tourist offices and
hotel staff for advice on what to
watch out for. Take special care
after dark, in dense crowds, and
with likable strangers. The free-
dom of being far from home can
release inhibitions in wonderful
ways. In fact, I try to do some-
thing new every trip. But if you
feel as though youre taking a
risk, have an exit strategy, in-
form the hotel staff of your
whereabouts, or make sure
youre in a place where you can
shout out to others.
Gratifying solo travel comes
from following your bliss. Dont
let societal pressures rattle you.
Dont let loneliness paralyze
you. Educate yourself so you
know what you can, and cannot,
do. Most of all, embrace the ex-
citing possibilities before you.
