help me and my family.
The groups are coordinated
by the Disaster Relief Coalition
of Luzerne County to help resi-
dents. Flooding caused an esti-
mated $40 million in damages
last September when the Sus-
quehanna River rose to a record
WEST PITTSTON Flood
victim Tom Reillys nine-month
quest to get his family back in
their home is now within sight,
thanks to faith-based volun-
teers.
Fourteen volunteers from
Modesto, Calif., worked in the
Wyoming Valley last week to
help victims like Reilly rebuild
their homes and their lives.
The Christian-based group
traveled at their own expense to
do carpentry work, run electri-
cal wires and put up sheet rock
to repair flood-damaged homes.
They have been a godsend,
the 71-year-old Reilly said.

PHILADELPHIA When
the child sex abuse scandal at
Penn State erupted last year,
public anger was not only di-
rected toward Jerry Sandusky,
whose trial begins Monday, but
toward the
people around
him who didnt
report their
suspicions to
police.
In the
months that
followed, that
anger led
many states to re-examine and
expand their so-called mandato-
ry reporting laws that require
people to report suspected
abuse or face civil and criminal
penalties. Some state laws apply
to professionals like doctors and
teachers, while others apply uni-
versally to all adults.
Child advocates and academ-
ics are divided, however, about
whether increasing the number
of mandatory reporters will
make the public more vigilant,
or simply overload an already

to new
questions
Anger resulted in many states
re-examining and expanding
mandatory reporting laws.

Luzerne County owes $412
millionfrompast borrowing, but
only about $21.5 million is left to
cover repairs and other capital
project needs, a review of re-
cords shows.
County Manager Robert Law-
ton said the administration is
scrutinizing plans for the re-
maining money because addi-
tional borrowing wont be an op-
tion in the foreseeable future.
Whatever capital projects we
have will have to come out of
that pot of money, Lawton said.
The balance stems from an
$87.89 million bond package ap-
proved by former commission-
ers in 2008 to fund capital pro-
jects, adeficit andimprovements
at Luzerne County Community
College.
Commissioners set aside
$34.47 million of the borrowed
funds for county capital projects,
and $12.97 million was spent as
of the end of March, records
show.
That spending included:
$3.6 million for exterior
courthouse design and repairs;
$573,500 for an employee
time-tracking system;
$1.1 million for a 911 com-
puter-aided dispatch program;
$1.77 million to fix county
bridges damaged by 2006 flood-
ing.
More money spent
Commissioners also dipped
into the fund in 2010 and 2011 to

The practice of dipping into
the fund to pay debt service
will stop, manager says.

HARRISBURG
Two elderly bills advance
Two items advancing protections for
elderly Pennsylvanians authored by
Rep. Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake,
recently moved for-
ward in the state
legislature.
A bill requiring
advanced notification
of patient transfers
between long-term
care facilities and area
agencies on aging
recently passed unani-
mously in the House Aging and Older
Adult Services Committee.
Boback said she introduced the bill
after hearing of a local personal care
home resident who died after being
transferred from a facility in one coun-
ty to another due to inadequate care
and lack of communication between
facilities.
The coordination of efforts between
facilities and agencies ensures the
protection of the health and safety of
patients and helps make sure that pa-
tient transfers are safe processes, Bo-
back said.
This legislation now heads to the full
House for consideration.
Bobacks resolution marking June 15,
2012 as Elder Abuse Awareness Day in
Pennsylvania also recently passed
unanimously in the House.

about the immigration
status of individuals with federal Immi-

Barletta, R-Hazleton, saidthemeasure
is targeted at sanctuary cities, includ-
ing Philadelphia, that refuse to share
such information in defiance of a 1996
lawrequiring themto do so.
The amendment was added by voice
vote to the Homeland Security bill,
which passed in the House of Represen-

Senate and receive President Barrack
Obamas signature to become law.
Hazleton Mayor Joe Yannuzzi, a Re-
publican, said he agrees wholeheartedly
with the amendment.
I thinkits a great idea that theyre do-
ing this, Yannuzzi said, adding that the
measure wont affect Hazleton because
the city has been aggressive in its efforts
to combat illegal immigration.
I think it will impact those cities that
are sanctuaries, Yannuzzi said. Its not

PLAINS TWP. -- Learning you or a
loved one has cancer is probably the
most devastating news you can hear. As
medical professionals continue to wage
their war on the disease, they stress the
importance of continuing the fight and
maintaining a positive attitude.
To that end, the staff at the Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Center Henry
Cancer Center makes a point every year
to focus on the patients who survive
that dreaded diagnosis and go on to
lead often normal lives.
On Saturday afternoon, the parking
lot of the cancer center lookedlike a car-
nival as about 500 cancer survivors
showed up to enjoy a fun-filled after-
noon.
It about celebrating another year of
surviving cancer, said Mary Ann Ole-
nick, administrative assistant at the
cancer center. She said she shared a lot
of warm feelings with the folks who
came by thrilled about still being alive.
We had a good time, Olenick said.

WILKES-BARRE Parents in the
city can rest assured their school-age
children can get a healthy meal and
safe, supervised activities to keep them
occupied five days a week all summer
long.
The City of Wilkes-Barre, the Wilkes-
Barre Family YMCA and the Commis-
sion on Economic Opportunity will be-
serve free, healthy lunches at program
sites between noon and 1 p.m. daily.
Snacks also will be offered. All children
are eligible to receive the meals, there
is no need to sign up and it is entirely
free.
The program will include scheduled
activities for children of all ages includ-
ing arts, crafts, games, sports and other
activities led by trained YMCA staff
and City of Wilkes-Barre senior and ju-
nior counselors.
The goal of the program is to pro-
mote healthy eating by providing qual-
ity meals to the citys youth that might
not otherwise have access to them dur-
ing the summer months.
This will be the
third year of the for-
mal partnership for
the free summer
lunches, said Drew
McLaughlin, the
citys administrative
coordinator.
Year two, we had
the idea that if we could tie in meals to
activities, the activities would increase
attendance. Also, for those kids who
come for meals, the activities would
keep them in the parks. This will be the
second year were having this structur-

Crisis response criticized
A
panel investigating Japans nuclear
disaster said Saturday that the
ex-prime minister and his aides caused
confusion at the height of last years
crisis by heavily interfering in the dam-
aged and leaking plants operation.
Shuya Nomura, a member of the
parliamentary panel, said that Naoto
Kans aides made numerous calls to the
Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, often asking
basic questions and distracting work-
ers, thus causing more confusion.
They did not follow the official line
of communication through the regu-
lator, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety
Agency under the countrys nuclear
disaster management law, he said.
They asked questions that were
often inappropriate and very basic,
unnecessarily causing more work in
addition to the operation at the site,
he said.

Buffett lunch: $3.5 million
The cost to dine with investor War-
ren Buffett has apparently spiked in
value, with one deep-pocketed bidder
forking over nearly $3.5 million during
a charity auction.
The annual auction for a private
lunch with the Nebraska billionaire
closed following a flurry of activity in
the final hours Friday night. In the end,
the highest bid was a record-breaking
$3,456,789.
The auction benefits the Glide Foun-
dation, which helps the homeless in
San Francisco. Buffett has raised more
than $11.5 million for the group in 13
past auctions. The event provides a
significant portion of Glides roughly
$17 million annual budget that pays for
social services to the poor and home-
less.
KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Afghan leader blames U.S.
Afghanistans president said Sat-
urday that the United States has put
the two countries security pact at risk
with a unilateral airstrike that killed 18
civilians, while a Taliban suicide bom-
ber killed four French soldiers respon-
ding to a tipoff about a bomb hidden
under a bridge.
The violence and the dispute high-
light the muddled nature of the in-
ternational mission in Afghanistan as
NATO coalition countries try to shift to
a training role in a country that is still
very much at war.
The majority of NATO and U.S.
forces are scheduled to leave the coun-
try by the end of 2014, but the exit is
looking far from neat at the beginning
of the hot summer months when fight-
ing typically surges.
France is already rushing to get its
combat forces out by the end of this
year, and four deaths in one bombing
could precipitate that pullout.
WASHINGTON
Attorneys lead leaks probe
Two U.S. attorneys are taking over
separate FBI investigations into leaks
of national security information that
critics have accused the White House
of orchestrating to improve President
Barack Obamas re-election chances, a
claim Obama calls offensive and
wrong.
Recent news articles contained de-
tails of U.S. involvement in a partially
successful computer virus attack on
Irans nuclear program and on the
selection of targets for counterterror-
ism assassination plots. The leaked
information generally painted Obama
as a decisive and hands-on commander
in chief.
Obama promised investigations into
the source of leaks about U.S. involve-
ment in cyberattacks on Iran and drone
strikes on suspected terrorists.

MADRID Europe is to offer
Spain a bailout package of up to (eu-
ro) 100 billion ($125 billion) to help
rescue the countrys banks and keep
the 17-country eurozone from break-
ing apart.
After months of fierce denials, Spain
admitted it would tap the fund as it
moved faster than expected to stem
the economic crisis that has ravaged
Europe for two years.
Spain becomes the fourth and
largest European economy to ask for
help and its admission of help comes
after months of market concern about
its ability to pay its way. In recent
weeks investors have demanded high-
er and higher costs to lend to Spain,
and it became clear it would be just
too expensive for the country to bor-
row the money necessary for a bank
rescue from the markets.
The three countries that have re-
ceived rescues thus far Greece, Ire-
land and Portugal are fairly small,
and many have worried that bailing
out much-larger Spain could call the
entire euro project into question. Cy-
prus, also a small economy, could also
be forced to seek a bailout soon.
Economy Minister Luis de Guindos
said Saturday the aid will go to the
banking sector only and so would not
come with new austerity conditions
attached for the economy in general
conditions that have been an in-
tegral part of previous bailouts to Por-
tugal, Ireland and Greece.
A statement from the finance minis-
ters of the 17 countries that use the
euro explained that the money would
be fed directly into a fund Spain set up
to recapitalize its banks, but under-
scored that the Spanish government is
ultimately responsible for the loan.
Still, that plan allows Spain to avoid
making the onerous commitments
that Greece, Ireland and Portugal were
forced to when they sought their res-
cues. Instead, the eurogroup state-
ment said that it expected Spains
banking sector to implement reforms
and that Spain would be held to its
previous commitments to reform its
labor market and manage its deficit.
The exact figure of the bailout, how-
ever, has not yet been decided.
Bailout of Spain could cost $125B
European assistance to rescue

HARRISBURG State law-
makersareconsideringabill that
would penalize drivers who ig-
noreroadblocksandplungetheir
vehicles into flooded roadways,
endangering their lives and tax-
ing local rescuers.
The bill would levy a $250 to
$500 fine for violations along
with two points on a drivers li-
cense and the cost of any rescue
that is required, The (Harris-
burg) Patriot-News said. The
state House approved the mea-
sure last monthandsent it to the
Senate for consideration.
People are driving around
these barricades and endanger
themselves and the first respon-
ders who come to help them,
said Rep. Todd Stephens, R-
Montgomery, the bills sponsor,
toldthe paper.
Stephens said he decided to
propose the measure after hear-
ing about the Turn Around,
DontDrowncampaignthrough
the National Weather Service.
It only takes a few inches of
water. Once your car is floating
downstream, youre in trouble,
he said.
Don Konkle, the executive di-
rector of the Pennsylvania Fire
and Emergency Services Insti-
tute, called the bill an excellent
piece of legislation. He said
such incidents often happen as
first responders are already try-
ing to deal with flood damage,
houses struck by lightning and
downedtrees andpower lines.
Todd Bashore, police chief for
East Pennsboro Township, was
among local police chiefs who
saidthey support the proposal.
When drivers get stuck out
there, they are putting emergen-
cyresponders at riskwhohaveto
go out there and save them, he
said. Any harsher penalty for
someone who violates that is
great.
Konkle said that during 37
years at the Harrisburg Fire De-
partment, firefighters were sent
about five times a year to rescue
peoplewhohadignoredsignsfor

BEIRUTBullets and shrapnel shells
smashed into homes in the Syrian capital
of Damascus overnight as troops battled
rebels in the streets, a show of boldness
for rebels taking their fight against Presi-
dent Bashar Assad to the center of his
power.
For nearly12 hours of fighting that last-
ed into the early hours Saturday, rebels
armed mainly with assault rifles fought
Syrian forces in the heaviest fighting in
the Assadstrongholdsince the15-month-
olduprisingbegan. U.N. observerssaidre-
bels fired a rocket-propelled grenade at
thelocal powerplant, damagingpartsof it
and reducing six buses to charred shells,
according to video the observers took of
the scene.
Syrian forces showed the regimes wil-
lingness to unleash such firepower in the
capital: At least threetankshellsslammed
into residential areas in the central Da-
mascus neighborhood of Qaboun, an ac-
tivist said. Intenseexchangesof assault-ri-
flefiremarkedtheclash, accordingtoresi-
dents and amateur video posted online.
At least 52 civilians were killed around
the country outside Damascus on Satur-
day, according to the Syrian Observatory
forHumanRights, aBritain-basedactivist
group. Among them were 20, including
nine women and children, who died in
heavy, pre-dawn shelling in the southern
city of Daraa, where the uprising against
Assad began in March 2011. Six children
were among 10 killed by a shell that ex-
ploded in a house they took cover in dur-

Last years winner of the ATV Hole In One
Bob Harris (center) with organizing members of
the Kunkle Fire Companys Annual Golf Tournament
ed day-camp program for city
youth, McLaughlin said.
Last year was a phenomenal
success. Wehadnothingbut posi-
tive comments from parents,
children and
the city park at-
tendants ad-
ministering the
program. We
served over
7,000 meals at
park locations
over the course
of the summer.
Were hoping this year well far
exceed that number, he said.
McLaughlin said three to five
junior counselors and a senior
counselor will be at each site.
Busier locations, including parks
at Coal Street, Iron Triangle and
the Kistler pool area will have
more counselors while less-busy
sites will have fewer.
Its a very structured counsel-
or format; its a day-camp type of
structure. We hope by having
that formalized structure more
parents will feel comfortable hav-
ing their children involved. It
brings a higher level of confi-
dence in safety for parents and
guardians, McLaughlin said.
Meghan Davis, marketing/
communications director at the
Y, said a speaker series will be
presented every Wednesday at
each site with a different topic
eachweek. Examples of topics in-
clude fire safety, anti-bullying,
nutrition and health and the im-
portance of physical education.
Davis said organizers also are
working on the possibility of hav-
ing a Zumba instructor offer a
class one of the Wednesdays, giv-
en the popularity of the dance/
exercise activity. Anyone with
ideas for other types of presenta-
tions relative to youth develop-
ment is welcome to submit them
to her, she said.
Davis said the program is
growing in popularity. She said
many parents who cant send
their children to summer camps
appreciate the programofferedat
the parks and the Y.
Were really excited about it,
she said.
There will be a formal kick-off
event for the program at a yet-to-
be-determined date and time the
week of June 18 for parents and
children to see an overview of
what the program will offer.

Only 1 in 6 children who received free or reduced cost meals during
the school year receive meals during the summer through the Summer
Food Service Program, which is administered by The Food and Nutrition
Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Summer
meals replace those meals for children who might not otherwise have
access to enough food.
In summer 2011, the 307 YMCA/YWCAs that took part in the SFSP
helped to serve more than 114,000 youth, providing 4.9 million meals
and snacks.
The 2007-2008 PA Growth Screening Program reported that more
than 53 percent of the students in grades K-12 in the Wilkes-Barre Area
School District are either overweight (22.17 percent of 920 students) or
obese (31.31 percent of 1,299 students), almost twice the national rates.
According to the U.S. Censuss American Community Survey, 25 per-
cent of the City of Wilkes-Barres population is living below federal
poverty guidelines, 36 percent of which are children under age 18.
The citys per capita income is $17,950 and median household income
is $28,109. Since fall 2010, the countys unemployment rate has consis-
tently been the highest in the region. The Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA is
located in a highly distressed census tract with a poverty rate of 29.4
percent and an unemployment rate of 21.4 percent, according to the
Census.
According to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System of the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Luzerne Countys adult
overweight/obesity rate is 64 percent.

The visitors included patients
and their guests who were per-
sonally invited by the center
staff.
Olenick and about 50 staff
members fromthe cancer center
volunteered their time setting
up tables and displays and then
tearing them down, as well as
helping with the food, crafts, en-
tertainment and most impor-
tantly, just rubbing elbows with
their patients.
We do it for the patients, she
said.
The center treats thousands
of patients each year. Represen-
tatives of all age groups and can-
cer types show up, she said.
Speakers at the event includ-
ed Dr. Rodrigo Erlich, who gave
a welcoming speech, and Jennif-
er Warke, who told her tale of
survival.
One of the most important
things shared at the event is
camaraderie, said one of the sur-
vivors who attended. Sharing
war stories associated with
treatment and other concerns
that come along with daily life
as a cancer survivor provides ve-
ry helpful support, she added.
The staff at the cancer center
tries to emphasize to patients
that they maintain a positive at-
titude despite what trouble they
may be facing, said another sur-
vivor. They are always very com-
passionate and eager to help,
she said.
Olenick helped organize the
event for the last eight years and
was happy with the turnout on
Saturday. We ran out of every-
thing, she said.
One woman survivor chided
how the center staff was correct
about her making it to Satur-
days event despite her con-
cerns.
See you next year, Olenick
emphasized in reply to her.
SURVIVAL
Its about celebrating another year of surviving
cancer.
Administrative assistant Mary Ann Olenick
Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center Henry Cancer Center
and even investigating them. In
Hazleton, we do that.
Yannuzzi added that the mea-
sure definitely adds weight to
Hazletonsownattemptsat immi-
gration reform.
Under Barletta, Yannuzzis
predecessor as mayor of Hazle-
ton, thecitypassedtheIllegal Im-
migration Reform Act of 2006.
Thecityordinancewouldmakeit
unlawful to knowingly hire or
rent housing to an illegal immi-
grant.
Legal challenges to the ordi-
nance made it as high as the U.S.
Supreme Court, though the high
court sent the case back to the
U.S. Court of Appeals for 3rd Cir-
cuit for reconsideration. Oral ar-
guments are expected to begin
again later this month, Yannuzzi
said.
Weve been trying to curb this
problemfor years now, Yannuzzi
said. Westuckour neckout. Our
neckis still out there withthe Su-
preme Court What we did is
starting to get a little attention, I
guess mainly because Lous there
now and he can further it, and
hes doing a good job doing it.
Pittston Mayor Jason Klush, a
Democrat, also said he agrees
that local law enforcement
should share information with
immigration, and doesnt think
Pittston will be impacted if the
amendment becomes law be-
cause the city is willing to share
information with ICE.
When it comes to illegal
aliens, its only right to crack
downonit, because it takes away
work from our people, Klush
said.
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leighton, by contrast, criticized
themeasure, sayingthat thefed-
eral government should be en-
forcing immigration policy and
not local police departments.
I would hope that Congress-
man Barletta would be more fo-
cused on how he could help cre-
ate jobs for communities in his
district rather than punishing
them, Leighton, a Democrat,
said. Local governments have
enoughissues toaddress without
taking on the federal govern-
ments problems as well. The city
relies on federal funding and
shouldnt have that jeopardized
because of a problem outside of
our jurisdiction.

P
aulette M. Bellumori, 56, of
Woolwich, N.J., and formerly of
Mountain Top, died Thursday, June
7, 2012 after a six-and-a-half year
battle with cancer.
Born in Wilkes-Barre, she was a
daughter of Carmela (Saracino) Ro-
vinski of Mountain Top and the late
Joseph Rovinski.
Paulette was a graduate of Bishop
Hoban High School, class of 1973,
Wilkes-Barre, and College Miser-
icordia, Dallas.
Paulette brought sunshine wher-
ever she went. Strangers became
friends and conversations flowed
easily. She and husband, David, met
while in college and they moved 13
times since they married 34 years
ago. Paulette left a legion of friends
along the way and continually add-
ed to her Christmas card list.
As she collected friends, so did
she collect discarded animals. She
took themin and made thempart of
her family. Shetookher sunnysmile
and blue eyes to the cancer treat-
ment center. There, she took that
bad situation and became a cheer-
leader for other patients, making a
bad situation palatable. She fought
that lung cancer battle for six-and-a-
half years, always with optimism.
When she went shopping for her-
self she always came back with
things for the children instead.
In addition to her father, she was
preceded in death by her brother,

I had always been overweight, but I had reached
my highest weight ever in the summer of 2011.
I had weighed in at 275
lbs., I fnally realized that
it was time to start dieting
and going to the gym to
lose weight. Besides high
school gym class I had
never worked out a day in
my life. I joined Odyssey
in August of 2011 and I
had also signed up for a
personal trainer. With the
help of trainer Paul Pruce, I
have dropped over 30 lbs.
in a little over 6 months. I
am still about 30 lbs. away
from my goal, and I am
hoping that with continued
help from Paul, that I will
reach that goal soon!

WILKES-BARRE More than
100 area residents donning
sneakers and bright blue shirts
gathered on Saturday for the Sec-
ond Annual Breathe Deep North-
eastern Pennsylvania sponsored
by LUNGevity, the nations large-
st organizationdedicatedto early
detection, research, and family
care for those affected by lung
cancer.
The event held in Wilkes-
Barres Kirby Park honors Allan
Makowski, who lost his battle
withstageIVlungcancer in2009.
His wife, Pauline, organized the
event to raise money for research
and education, and to bring fam-
ilies affected by the disease to-
gether.
"I amsure that he would be ve-
ry proud of this event," said a
smiling Makowski, "and, if he
was here, I amsure that he would
be enthusiastically participa-
ting."
Dr. David Greenspan, area on-
cologist, in addressing participa-
nts, remembered Makowski as a
very active member of the com-
munity, a wonderful family man,
and good friend. Greenspan laud-
ed both national and local efforts
to raise money for lung cancer re-
search and awareness.
"If we can diagnose lung can-
cer in its early stages, the progno-
sis is markedly better," said
Greenspan.
Kerrie Basara, Dallas, with her
two young daughters Trinity and
Chastity intow, was walkingfor a
second year to remember a fam-
ily friend.
"We believe inthe organization
and the cause," said Basara.
Carol Blizzard,
Hanover Town-
ship, walking in
memory of her
husband, John
McReynolds, who
died from the dis-
ease in 2007, said
that because LUN-
Gevity is a nation-
al organization,
she was able to "stay connected"
even when she moved to the
Wyoming Valley from Virginia.
The organization has an online
presence that assists families in
connecting with others and pro-
vides access to lung cancer re-
sources.
"When this event was an-
nounced, I knewthat I hadto par-
ticipate to show my support,"
said Blizzard, whose grand-
daughter Ashlee Harry, Ply-
mouth, joined her.
The event welcomed strollers,
wheelchairs and pets. Most par-
ticipants had a personal story to
tell and a commitment to the or-
ganization and the event.

Mould-Cooney has been the
programs instructor since 2006.
That was when a friend, whom
she had taught macram to in the
1970s, informed her the program
was in need of an art instructor.
Mould-Cooney has degrees in
both education and art, but was
reluctant at first to accept the po-
sition.
She explained that she had
never worked with disabled indi-
viduals before and was unsure
about taking on the challenge.
Mould-Cooney had lost her fa-
ther that same year and also was
in need of a job, ultimately decid-
ed to take the position.
One door closes and another
one opens, she said.
One year later, she presented
her clients works during the pro-
grams first exhibition. It was en-
titled, Rainbow of Talents.
I take the patients and work
with them; I pull the talent out of
them, Mould-Cooney said. I
teach them to focus and that
there are rules to doing things.
Theycanlearnandfocus likeany-
body else.
Mainstreet Galleries, at 370
Pierce St., has been the exhibi-
tions host for the past six years.
All proceeds from the sale are
used to buy the supplies needed
for the programs
operation. Chris-
topher Casey, who
owns Mainstreet
Galleries, along
with his sister Sal-
ly Casey-Bullock
and brother Pa-
trick, said he is
proud to host the
event; it is one way
of giving back to
the community.
He added, Margaret is so giv-
ing of herself to the students. She
brings out all levels of their tal-
ent.
Casey-Bullock said, This is a
very worthwhile cause, and I
would love everyone to come out
and see this event.
Kropa, who has been involved
with artwork for the past four
years, said the inspiration for
many of her works comes from
pictures that she finds in maga-
zines. Sunset at the Beach took
Kropa only a few days to com-
plete, using a large canvas base.
She also produced woven shawls
using the loom knit method.
Kropas significant other, Ha-
rold Miller, also pointed out Kro-
pa made the display stands that
held her handmade jewelry. The
displays, were molded in the
shape of a hand and a foot, and
were made of baking clay, alumi-
numfoil, wire, andtape. Kropa al-
so designed the artwork on the T-
shirt that she was wearing.
Tommy Grey, who lives with
autism, contributed a pillow fea-
turing several buttons and doz-
ens of tiny beads, whichhe sewed
on by hand. Nichole LaFrattes
creations were necklaces made of
clay.
Erik Berlew made his canvas
wall hanging by the locker hook-
ing method, using fabric to make
loops on canvas. It took Erik four
months to complete the project.

Luzerne County Transporta-
tion Authority will begin some
new bus runs on Monday, ex-
panding service to Shickshinny
and Laflin, increasing trips to
Walmart and adding runs to oth-
er routes.
Operations Manager Robb
Henderson said he shuffled some
schedules to add more trips and
expand the service area at the re-
quest of county residents to ac-
commodate an increasing bus ri-
dershipandtocut downondriver
overtime.
The Shickshinny bus, he said,
will run Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays, with one inbound
trip in the morning and an out-
bound trip in the afternoon.
The bus will pick up and drop
off area residents at Shickshinny
Towers the elderly high-rise on
West Mine Street and stop at
the James F. Conahan Intermo-
dal Transportation Center on
South Washington Street in
Wilkes-Barre, Walmart in Wilkes-
BarreTownship, WyomingValley
Mall in Wilkes-Barre Township
and Mohegan Sun at Pocono
Downs in Plains Township.
Laflin will be serviced by the
No. 17Avoca bus four times a day,
with a pick-up/drop-off point at
the LaflinBoroughBuildingat 47
Laflin Road. The Avoca run on
Saturday was dropped because
no one was using it, Henderson
said.
The Route17 run on Saturdays
has also been eliminated, he said.
Runs have been added to
Routes 6, 11, 12, 13 and 15 and to
the Walmart route, which Hen-
derson said is heavily used. Now,
there will twobuses offeringruns
about every half hour instead of
one bus every 90 minutes.
Also on Monday, the No. 7 Ge-
orgetown bus will begin servic-
ing the McCann School of Busi-
ness and Technology campus in
Wilkes-Barre Township four
times a day, Henderson said.
And, another runhas beenadd-
edtothe No. 18 Shoppers Delight

center, Wilkes-Barre Township

Henderson said.
Henderson said on Friday that
the LCTA website, which has
downloadable schedules and
schedule maps, would be updat-
ed within the next fewdays to re-
flect the additions and changes.

ical Center in Plains Township,
where both underwent surgery.
Both men were listed in good
and stable condition Saturday,
according to the hospital.
Luzerne County District At-
torney Stefanie Salavantis said
both men were struck by bullets
in the abdomen and arms. She
said a Luzerne County detective
was called to the scene Saturday
night and is assisting in the in-
vestigation.
The investigation is still on-
going, Salavantis said. Right
now the police department and
my office are working to find
out what exactly happened and
to make the public aware.
Salavantis said she its too
early in the investigation for her
to confirm or deny whether
drugs or gang activity was in-
volved in the shooting, but she
said she does not believe at this
point that the incident was
gang-related.
There are no suspects at this
time, and Lewis said it is too
early to speculate on the moti-
vation of the shooter. Police and
Salavantis would not release in-
formation about the type of gun
or caliber of bullet used in the
shooting due to the ongoing in-
vestigation.
A criminal record check re-
vealed one of the victims, Bob-
bett, had been charged with ha-
rassment, a summary offense,
twice this year, stemming from
incidents on May 1 and Feb. 17.
He was also charged with sim-
ple assault in February 2011.
The shooting is the latest in a
series of recent criminal inci-
dents in and around Hanover
Village.
On Thursday, township po-
lice seized 378 heroin packets
when they arrested Kristen
Martin, 26, at her residence in
the complex. On June 2, officers
from the Pennsylvania Attorney
Generals Office and the Lu-
zerne County Drug Task Force
arrested three people on drug
trafficking charges during a raid
in the 400 block of the complex,
recovering marijuana, scales
and cash.
And on May 31, township po-
lice arrested Robert Daniel De-
leo, 19, of McLean Street, after
he allegedly threatened to shoot
a resident in the 300 block of
the complex.
Salavantis said she cant pin-
point what areas are becoming
worse and what arent but
urged all area residents to be on
their guard.
Crime isnt decreasing in our
area, Salavantis said. I think
that at this point everybody just
needs to be aware and watch
around them.
Anyone with information
about the shooting is asked to
contact township police at 825-
1254 or call 911.

create breathing room in the
countys general fund operating
budgets, using $3.9 million to
help repay debt.
A County Council majority re-
luctantly decided to remove an-
other $1.4 million from the fund
to repay debt in this years oper-
ating budget, which will further
reduce the capital fund.
Lawton said this practice will
stop.
This fund will not be used to
pay debt service on any other
bond issues, he said.
County Chief Engineer Joe
Gibbons tracks spending of the
2008 allocation on a detailed
spreadsheet to make sure money
is reserved for projects that have
been identified as priorities.
He also ensures reimburse-
ments for flood repairs and other
projects funded by the 2008
bond go into the capital fund to
free up money for future needs.
For example, the fund paid
$120,000 for a Moon Lake Park
master plan, but the state will
cover half the expense. That
$60,000 should return to the cap-
ital fund, not the countys oper-
ating budget, he said.
The roster of projects on the
to-do list includes about $8 mil-
lion in future courthouse work:
$1.1 million to replace the
roof;
$300,000 to restore the ele-
vator;
$3.1 million for repairs and
restoration inside the cour-
thouse, including water-dam-
aged plaster and art;
$600,000 for mechanical,
plumbing and electric repairs
$2.85 million to pave the
rear courthouse parking lot, con-
nect the courthouse to the River
Common Park and reconstruct
the south lawn.
Other allocations carved out
include $3.7 million for road and
bridge repairs, $2 million for a
record storage facility, $1.8 mil-
lion for computerization, tech-
nology and the time system,
$550,000 for recreation and
$500,000 for a Commission on
Economic Opportunity public-
service warehouse.
Adjustments to earmarks
Lawton said all earmarks may
be adjusted up or down based on
further research.
Priority will go to technology
that increases efficiency, he said.
I think the need will revolve
around things that will save us
money on operating costs, Law-
ton said.
The home rule charter re-
quires the manager to present to
council a long-range plan for cap-
ital improvements covering at
least three years. Capital pro-
jects will lose their appropri-
ations if no allocations have been
spent within three years, the
charter says.
That wasnt the case in the
past.
Lawton said the county re-
cently received bills for projects
in White Haven and Butler
Township that were approved
years ago by prior commission-
ers.
These bills were supposed to
be funded from 2003 bond pro-
ceeds that have been spent. Gib-
bons said the administration is
searching for outstanding reim-
bursements owed on projects
funded from the 2003 borrowing
to come up with funds to cover
these past promises.
A comprehensive county debt
presentation to council is in the
works explaining how borrowed
funds were spent and the coun-
tys limitations repaying the debt
early, Lawton said.
Much of the debt stems from
deficit spending, records show.
The county borrowed a com-
bined $71 million in 2004, 2005,
2008 and 2009 solely to fund def-
icits and day-to-day operating

R
obert C. Hannon died peaceful-
ly on the morning of June 9,
2012, surrounded by his loving fam-
ily at Lourdes Hospital, Bingham-
ton, N.Y.
Bobwas bornonOctober19, 1938
in Wilkes-Barre and was raised in
the Parsons section of the city. He
graduated from St. Marys High
School and earned his BA from
Kings College, class of 1960 and his
masters in teaching from the State
University of New York.
Bob taught in Whitney Point,
Binghamton and Harpursville, N.Y.
However, Bob found his calling in
helping others as an agent for the
N.Y. Life Insurance Company, retir-
ing after 29 years of service. The
field had special meaning for Bob,
who at a young age felt great pain
and loss from the death of a loved
one. As a life insurance agent, Bob
took great satisfaction in assisting
others in those times of need.
Bob was predeceased by his lov-
ing parents, John and Marie (Jen-
nings) Hannon and a brother, Ed-
ward.
He is survived by his loving wife
of 51 years and high school sweet-
heart, Mary Alice (Flynn); his be-
loved four children, Michael, Ellen
(Mark Blakeslee), Binghamton,
N.Y., Maureen (Kathi Miley), Avon
Lake, Ohio, and Molly (Robert
Goosman), Endwell, N.Y. Bob
loved, and was loved, by his seven
grandchildren, Mark, Emily, Rebec-
ca, Thomas, Griffin, Jack and sweet
Grace. Bob is also survived by his
special friends, EdandTresa Dailey,
Joe andBarbara Ritz, Carol Thayne,
and his many brothers and sisters at
the AOH.
Bobs parting words were, It was
a good life with no regrets.
Bob enjoyed gardening and ex-
tensive travel with his beloved wife,
and best friend, Mary Alice. He tru-
ly enjoyed his family, always having
a good time with his children and
grandchildren. He enjoyed those
many people he met on his walk
through life. He was proud to be an
Irish Catholic and a member of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians as well
as a member of the Holy Name So-
ciety of Saints John and Andrew. In-
tegrity and honesty was the creed
he strived to live by.
Dr. Ramanujan, Nurse Practitioner

stretched-thin child welfare sys-
tem and siphon limited re-
sources from children who need
help most.
Forty-eight states require at
least some professionals to im-
mediately report knowledge or
suspicion of child sexual abuse
to some authority, according to
the National Conference of State
Legislatures. The list of profes-
sionals varies by state and can
include teachers, school nurses,
doctors, social workers, police,
day care workers, coaches and
camp counselors.
Of those states, 18 have laws
that require mandatory report-
ing of suspected child abuse by
all adults.
Many states have no specific
sanctions for those who fail to
comply with such laws, while
others have penalties but they
are not enforced unless a case is
particularly heinous or deadly,
said Teresa Huizar of the Nation-
al Childrens Alliance, a Wash-
ington-based advocacy group.
On the surface, (universal
mandatory reporting) sounds
like an outstanding idea, she
said, but if you make something
everybodys responsibility, it can
end up becoming no ones re-
sponsibility.
About 105 bills on the report-
ing of suspected child abuse and
neglect have been introduced in
2012 legislative sessions in 30
states and the District of Colum-
bia, many of them directly in re-
sponse to the Sandusky case.
Legislation has since been enact-
ed in 10 of those states, accord-
ing to the latest NCSL tally up-
dated Monday.
Oregon, West Virginia, Virgin-
ia and South Dakota are among
states that expanded their list of
professions that are mandatory
reporters, while Indiana and Io-
wa are requiring schools to de-
velop new policies and reporting
procedures for responding to
suspected child abuse.
Indiana, also in response to
the Penn State scandal, passed
legislation that requires the state
to work with child sexual abuse
experts to develop education
materials, response policies, and
reporting procedures on child
sexual abuse. A new Iowa law re-
quires schools to implement pol-
icy for employees in contact with
children to report suspected
physical or sexual abuse.
Also as a direct result of the
Sandusky case, Florida has
passed what is now the toughest
mandatory reporting legislation
in the country: Failure to report
suspected child abuse is a felony,
and universities would be fined
$1 million and stripped of state
funding for two years if officials
dont report child abuse. The law
applies to everyone from uni-
versity coaching staff to elemen-
tary school teachers to students.
Florida now has the toughest
laws in the country for protect-
ing children, said Lauren Book,
who created a nonprofit founda-
tion for child abuse victims and
pushed for tougher sex offender
laws with her father, lobbyist
Ron Book.
She said the legislation com-
pels individuals and institutions
to speak up, the aim of which is
to prevent what allegedly hap-
pened at Penn State from occur-
ring in Florida.
Mandatory reporting is a
good thing but its only a Band-
Aid for a bigger issue, said Jim
Hmurovich, president of Chica-
go-based child advocacy organi-
zation Prevent Child Abuse
America. The right solution is
we should ensure as adults that
the abuse and neglect ever hap-
pens in the first place.
Dozens of universities are also
implementing their own report-
ing requirements. Penn State it-
self has instituted a new policy
requiring all employees to report
suspected child abuse to state
authorities, while the University
of Arkansas requires university
employees who suspect child
abuse to first call the states
Child Abuse Hotline and campus
police.
Hmurovich and Huizar said
they support the idea of manda-
tory reporting laws, even if im-
perfect.
When we dont prevent abuse
and neglect from happening we
spend $80 billion a year trying to
remediate it with treatment,
Hmurovich said.

42.7 feet.
Reillys West Pittston home at
12 Montgomery Ave. was severe-
ly damaged more than
$100,000 worth, and he had no
flood insurance. The Federal
Emergency Management Agen-
cy helped some but not
enough.
Reilly had been trying to do
most of the repair work himself
so he and his wife, daughter,
sons and grandchildren seven
in all can go home. They have
been living in two FEMA trailers
for nine months.
Too bad there arent more
people like them around, he
said of the volunteers.
Help from afar
There are more of them -- lots
more.
Doug Sivers, northeast coordi-
nator for the United Methodist
Flood Recovery Program, Garry
Van Scoy, case manager for the
Disaster Recovery Coalition, and
Jan Thyren, volunteer coordina-
tor for the coalition, said 31 vol-
unteer groups have come to the
area to help or will be here soon.
Reilly said one of them will be
at his house to help finish the
job.
Sivers, Van Scoy and Thyren
said about 15 houses have had
work completed with the help of
the faith-based volunteers and 10
more are in various states of re-
pair. There are 40 more on the
waiting list.
Van Scoy said the coalition is
working throughout Luzerne
County, including in Hunlock
Creek, Shickshinny, Plains
Township, Jenkins Township,
West Pittston, Duryea, Pittston,
Exeter, Nanticoke, Wapwallopen
and Mocanaqua.
Id fit right in with these peo-
ple, Reilly said of the Modesto
group. But I guess its my turn
to receive.
Reilly hopes to have his family
back in their home by the fall.
I cant say enough to thank
them. Actually, I thank God for
them, Reilly said.
Towns scars remain
West Pittston and the other af-
fected towns still wear the scars
of Septembers raging flood wa-
ters. Many homes and business-
es are far from being restored.
Across the street from Reillys
house is another with a Keep
Out sign posted and no visible
sign of restoration. The road
back has been long, hard and
costly.
The people who come out
with these faith-based groups
truly feel that God is calling
them to help, Sivers said.
There is an underlying under-
standing of why they do what
they do.
Sivers said the volunteers give
up a week of their lives at sub-
stantial personal cost to help
people in need.
And they tell me that they
come away from their experi-
ence more blessed than the
blessings they leave, Sivers
said.
The Modesto 14
Modesto is about an hour in-
land from San Francisco. The
group is affiliated with the Trin-
ity Presbyterian Church there
and some members are retired,
others are teachers, managers,
dairy farmers and a newspaper
photographer. One is a family
physician.
But they all share a common
bond a deep desire to help
their fellow man.
Don and Cathy Jepson, Ted
and Liz Benson, Bob and Katie
McGrew, Mary Couchman and
her daughter, Bethany, Duane
and Susan Kirk, Tony and Chris
Ott, Frank Quaresma and Diane
Gallagher are, as Don Jepson put
it, just a small piece of a much
larger puzzle.
But to Donna Stevens on
Courtright Street in Plains
Township, the piece they have
provided is huge.
The Modesto group, like most
of the others, has been to disas-
ter sites like New Orleans and
Nashville. They give a week of
their lives each year to help di-
saster victims become whole
again.
We do this because its our
way of sharing Gods love, said
Liz Benson. Were helping peo-
ple who need help. Its in our
hearts; its our calling.
Bensons husband, Ted, said
many of the volunteers bring
their own tools and they often
raise money to help pay for ma-
terials.
A lot of us take vacation time
to come here, he said. We do it
because we want to and feel we
need to.
The DRC program
The local organizers said they
realized early on the need for a
coordinated effort to meet the
needs of a recovering region af-
ter Tropical Storm Lee. The Di-
saster Relief Coalition of Lu-
zerne County was organized to
meet those needs by bringing to-
gether regional service provid-
ers, government agencies and
faith-based groups to assist the
restoration of the flood-damaged
communities.
The coalition works with local
governmental leaders to identify
and assess the needs in each
town and to determine how to
help specific homeowners.
Case managers and project co-
ordinators meet with homeown-
ers to determine what needs to
be done and match those needs
to the services available. Thats
where the volunteer groups
come in. Usually the homeowner
provides materials, but some-
times items are donated. The
volunteers work side-by-side
with the homeowners to restore
the homes.
The elderly, economically dis-
advantaged and homes severely
damaged are given priority.
Vacation in Shickshinny
Jamie Rowen graduated from
the University of North Carolina-
Greensboro in May. From March
4-11, Rowen and seven others
from the school were in Shick-
shinny, West Pittston and Tunk-
hannock helping flood victims.
The students chose to do con-
struction work and cleanup over
their spring break, rather than
party in tropical climates like
many of their contemporaries.
A lot of people couldnt be-
lieve that we would come to
Shickshinny rather than go to
Cancun, Rowen, 22, said. Ev-
eryone was surprised that we
would give up our spring break
to do this work.
Rowen said the group was
treated to some unexpected
northern hospitality. A resident
of Lancaster, Rowen said the
group enjoyed their time here
helping flood victims in the early
stages of rebuilding their homes
and lives.
We were happy to work with
individuals, he said. We got to
know them and really got close
to them. Its an interesting dy-
namic when in the hustle and
bustle of normal life, you per-
form a service and get to know
people who need help and they
are so grateful.
People who were helped by
the Modesto group, like Donna
and Kenny Stevens of Courtright
Street in Plains Township, cant
say enough about the volun-
teers. Four feet of water on the
first floor of the Stevens double-
block caused about $110,000 in
structural damage. That doesnt
include the loss of personal
items and furniture.
Weve been working since
September to clean out the prop-
erty and gut it to the outside
walls, Donna Stevens said. We
didnt have flood insurance and
FEMA helped some, but not
enough to complete the job. We
had to borrow the rest.
Donna, an unemployed pho-
tographer, and Kenny, a produc-
tion assistant in a factory, have
lived in the home for 20 years.
Their daughter, Lindsey, will oc-
cupy the other side.
The Modesto group complet-
ed drywalling and spackling the
first floor, she said.
Stevens said if the volunteers
didnt help, it would be at least
another year before she could re-
turn to the property.
I do believe it is a calling for
these people, she said. If they
didnt come here, we would be
plugging along doing it our-
selves a little at a time. Now I
can actually see the house com-
ing back together again and we
will be back much sooner than
we ever thought.
Stevens said the Modesto
group is doing Gods work.
Imhaving trouble finding the
words to adequately say how we
feel, she said.
Thyren, the volunteer coordi-
nator, said its been a wonderful
experience for all involved.
We are amazed how many
people are traveling long dis-
tances, sleeping in less-than-4-
star accommodations, just to
help the flood victims of North-
eastern Pennsylvania, she said.
They have shoveled mud, re-
built homes, listened, and cried
with us.
Perhaps most importantly,
they have brought hope to peo-
ple who were in despair.

PLAINSTWP. WhenBarbara
Hartman brought her group to
the area to help out, they were
greeted with despair.
In mid-April, Hartman, coordi-
nator for Carpenters Calling
Mission Team of the Eastern
Pennsylvania Conference of the
United Methodist Church,
brought 50 volunteers to help
flood victims in Shickshinny,
West Pittston and Plains Town-
ship.
There was no hope in their
hearts, Hartman said of the
flood victims she met. They
thought they were forgotten. It
was very humbling to hear that.
Hartman, 65, said she and the
other volunteers told everyone
they were in their town to help
and to give them some hope.
We wanted themto knowthat
there are people out there that
care and who are willing to help,
she said.
Hartmans group and some 30
others have come to the region to
help flood victims recover from
last Septembers devastating
storms. They work in coopera-
tion with the Disaster Recovery
Coalition of Luzerne County.
Thefaith-basedgroups provide
volunteers to help rebuild homes
and lives, to dust off the mud of
nine months ago, to return nor-
malcy to the lives of floodvictims
who have struggled to put their
lives back together.
Hartman and her husband, Ed,
67, started doing this work in
1996. Volunteers give up their
time at their ownexpense to trav-
el to disaster areas to help vic-
tims.
This is not demanded of us,
she said. We gobecause we want
to. We feel as though we are serv-
ing God.
Hartman said they have trav-
eled all over the country to help,
but this time they decided to stay
in their home state.
We just said, Ya know what,
were staying home this time,
she said.
Hartman said the people she
met couldnt have been nicer,
andall were very gracious andap-
preciative.
We all came back with such a
goodfeeling, Hartmansaid. We
could see the people there go
fromnon-hopeful tohopeful. And
that makes us all feel good about
what were doing.
Michelle Davis, the local Fed-
eral Emergency Management
Agency representative, works as
the voluntary agency liaison for
the DRC. She helped match the
volunteers skill sets to the work
needed at each property.
They have done phenomenal
work, Davis said.
The work has ranged from
cleaninguptheyardof an87year-
old man in Shickshinny to gut-
ting interiors, removing mold
and installing new drywall.
The disaster declaration ends
in March, but Davis said victims
can stay in their FEMA trailers
longer if they show progress in
finding permanent housing.

expenses. Debt also was restruc-
tured in 2006 to obtain $12.3 mil-
lion in cash in exchange for fu-
ture higher debt repayments.
Past borrowed funds also were
spent on the countywide reas-
sessment and related property
record and mapping technology
improvements, the purchase of
watershed land, flood control
projects and an early retirement
incentive.
Around $1.3 million was spent
designing a new prison that nev-
er materialized.
An inmate population de-
crease and challenges borrowing
up to $100 million to fund a new
prison prompted officials to
scrap the idea.
Community projects funded
Millions of borrowed funds al-
so were allocated for community
projects outside the realm of
county government by past com-
missioners who argued the in-
vestments would improve qual-
ity of life and spur new develop-
ment.
This includes allocations for
recreation facilities, athletic or-
ganizations, the F.M. Kirby Cen-
ter, The Lands at Hillside Farms
and infrastructure and construc-
tion in several municipalities.
The countys flexible spending
of borrowed funds was made
possible by adding a clause in
most bond documents that gives
officials freedom to add or sub-
tract capital projects as they see
fit.
The countys strapped general
fund must pay $22.5 million to-
ward debt this year, or 18 percent
of the $122.6 million budget.
Repayments are slated to in-
crease to $25 million next year
and remain around that amount
through 2026, dropping to $22
million in 2027, officials have
said.
County officials want to re-
duce the amount owed by refi-
nancing the debt at a lower in-
terest rate, but that option cant
be tapped until the county ob-
tains a bond credit rating.
County Interim Budget/Fi-
nance Chief Vic Mazziotti said
he doesnt expect the county to
secure a rating for several years
because rating companies want
multiple years of evidence of sta-
ble finances and preferably a sur-
plus.

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JUNE 10, 2012

ook at this, said Alner, pointing
to an item in his Times Leader.
Mayor Bloomberg of New York City is
trying to ban big soft drinks. Whats
with that guy? Is he a socialist or some-
thing?
Old pal, I said, Its just a sign of
our times. I suspect the mayor has no
more sinister motivation than promot-
ing healthy dietary basics quenching
your thirst, not drowning your thirst.
I have no idea what youre talking
about, grunted Alner, turning to the
baseball page.
Well, needless to say, within minutes
we were taking a walk down a Wyom-
ing Valley street of about 60 years ago,
thanks to my powers of metaphysical
travel.
I notice you picked a really hot day,
smirked Alner. Obviously youre plan-
ning to get me thirsty so you can prove
a point.
Youre learning, Alner, I grinned,
ushering him through the screen door
of a corner grocery store, one like every
neighborhood had back then.
A rush of delightfully frigid air
struck our faces as I opened the big
soda cooler. Inside, glass bottles stood
in ice water that was about the temper-
ature of the North Atlantic in February.
Look at this, I said, pulling out a
bottle of Acme orange.
Thats tiny, gasped Alner. It says
eight ounces on the side barely a
cupful of soda.
Sure is, I replied, grabbing a sec-
ond bottle and pulling off the caps with
the opener on the side of the soda case.
This is what people drank for gener-
ations. Now if youre really desperate
for a bigger swig, you can try a Royal
Crown or a Nehi lime or a Hires Root
Beer. Theyre 12 ounces, the size of a
can of soda in our time.
Thats the biggest you can get?
Alner asked.
Well, no. There are some quart
bottles in here. If youre throwing a
party youll bring home a single quart
and serve everyone.
I wonder how all this super-sizing
happened, said Alner, a quizzical look
on his face as he sipped his drink
through a pair of paper straws.
I hope the sociologists know, I
said, because I sure dont. Hey, take a
look in the dairy case over there.
I see quarts of milk in glass bottles,
said Alner.
Thats all youll see, I said. The
half-gallon container, the gallon con-
tainer none of that has been in-
vented yet. Were still in the era of
modest proportions.
I thought Id better appease the guy
behind the counter by buying a couple
of five-cent bags of Wise potato chips,
using the 1950 coins I carry for such
occasions.
Yes, theyre mini-bags, I said to
Alner as he stared. But thats all peo-
ple expect here. Its a little treat, not
dinner or fodder to satisfy a nervous
tic. And if you look in the ice cream
freezer youll see pint packages
thats pints, not half-gallons or industri-
al-size plastic pails with handles. In
these times, Sunday dessert is a thin
slice of butter pecan, and youd wait all
week for that.
I wonder what happens when fast
food arrives, said Alner, downing his
last potato chip.
Itll be simple 15-cent hamburgers,
I said. No double Monstrosos with
triple cheese not yet, anyway.
Alner raised his eight-ounce soda
high.
Hey, Ill drink to that.

harlotte Raup is the president of the Wilkes-Barre Crime
Watch Coalition and runs 15 crime watch meetings
throughout the city. Raup, 55, attended Meyers High
School and Luzerne County Community College. She has
a bachelors degree inphilosophy fromWilkes University
and became a master herbalist after studying at Domin-
ion Herbal College in British Columbia, Canada. Char-
lotte and her husband, Gregory, live in Wilkes-Barre
with their four cats.
Howdid you get in-
volved with the
Wilkes-Barre Crime
Watch Coalition? It
all started 25 years
ago. There was a rash
of house break-ins oc-
curring in Parsons, where
I lived. The neighbors and
I had enough. Pat Rush-
ton created the Parsons
Crime Watch at that time,
and since I was the first one who
called him about the break-ins, he put
me in charge of it. Through the years
the coalition has gained members and
the crime watches in the area now
number more than 400 people. I was
eventually elected to be the president
of the Wilkes-Barre Crime Watch Coali-
tion and I have taken the position very
seriously.
Tell us about what the Wilkes-
Barre Crime Watch does. When the
groups gather they are informed as to
what is going on in their community
that month. We update people on what
crime activity has occurred in an area
andwepoint out recent trends incrime
like when thieves are targeting copper
and license plates. We have various
speakers who come in and talk about a
variety of topics. Our primary goal is to
prevent crime and these meetings
help. We do patrols overnight to help
prevent crime and reassure residents
throughout the city.
So you believe it works? Crime
prevention works. It absolutely works.
We feel as if we have impacted people
with the groups, meetings and social
network interaction. You have to feel
for the victims of crime as well. I was a
victim. You never get a second chance
as avictim. Youjust get anewnormal, a
newway of living. Crime andcrime pre-
vention is the most important aspect
of a city. People need to feel safe.
When you are not patrolling the
neighborhoods or running meetings,
what do you like to do with any spare
time you may have? I love gardening

This is a story of love and romance between two people, Ann and John.
Before I begin to tell my story, I would like to give you a background of our families. Ann
is the daughter of Tillie and Stanley Roman of Newport Township. John is the son of Elizabeth
and Jacob Zigmund of Port Blanchard. Port Blanchard is a small town located between Plains
and Port Griffth along the banks of the
Susquehanna River. Anns family consisted
of seven girls and two boys. Johns family
consisted of fve brothers and four sisters.
Ann graduated from Newport Township High
School in the year of 1941. John gradu-
ated from Jenkins Township High School
in the year of 1942. After graduation, Ann
was employed by J.S. Raubs Shoe Store in
Wilkes-Barre. After graduation, I departed
to NewYork City to live with my sister Rose
in the Bronx. I applied for employment at
Stouffers Restaurant and I was hired as a
receiving clerk.
I enlisted in the United States Navy on
December 17, 1942. I was sent by train to the
Great Lakes Training Center in Illinois. After
six weeks of training, I was assigned to the
U.S.S. Booth, a destroyer escort which was in
Miami, Florida. Our destroyer escort was on
convoy duty in the Atlantic Ocean for twenty
eight months.
After V.E. Day, our ship was assigned to serve in the Pacifc Ocean and our duty was to
escort a gasoline tanker to the Bay of Okinawa. The following morning a news bulletin came
over the intercom. Japan has surrendered and World War II has ended. I was discharged from
the U.S. Navy at the end of August 1945. I returned home to Port Blanchard. There was hap-
piness and joy in the family. My brothers were home from the service, Andrew from the U.S.
Marines and Edmund from the U.S. Navy.
I enrolled at Wyoming Seminary for a refresher course. Tony Piscotty owned a tavern in
Nanticoke and Tony was the general manager of the Nanticoke Professional Basketball Team.
Rip Flanagan played on the team and he and I were good friends when he attended Jenkins
Township High School. Rip convinced me to go with him to Nanticoke to meet Tony Piscotty.
I then became a member of the team. The games were played at Nanticoke High School. Ann
and her sisters attended the games. Tonys wife Wanda was a cousin to Ann. Wanda and Ann
got together and had a discussion about our date. In our days there was an expression that
went like this fx up a date with him.
I was at Tonys after the game, I accepted and the date was set for January 8, 1948. I was
to meet Ann at the State Theater located on Main Street in Nanticoke about 8 p.m. I saw her
walking up the street. I was impressed with her appearance. She was tall in stature, attractive,
sportive and vivacious. We greeted each other. Then we boarded the trolley to Wilkes-Barre
and went to the Granada Ballroom for a night of dancing. Tonys wife told me Ann was an
excellent dancer. How right she was. It was the time of the Big Band era. The Jitterbug Dance
was in vogue. As we danced during the night, I told her how much I liked her golden earrings
and I told her how terrifc her dancing was and we did enjoy each other on the dance foor.
After the dance we hopped on the trolley to Nanticoke.
Ann lived in Sheatown, after I walked her home, we said good night and I planted a good
night kiss on her and then I walked to board the trolley to Public Square in Wilkes-Barre to
get on the bus to Pittston and get off in Port Blanchard. On one of our dates I asked Ann, Do
you like to gamble? She replied, Not really. Then I popped the next question, Lets get
married. She was taken aback and I believe she was surprised. She thought about it and then
said, Okay.
Our wedding date was set for June 10, 1950. The wedding ceremony was held in Holy
Trinity under the auspices of Reverend Kaczmarek. After Mass the wedding party was held at
DeLucas Hall in Wanamie. The party was of an elaborate type. Plenty of Polish foods, cakes,
liquors and beer, and soda for the youngsters. Polka dancing all through the night and in the
wee hours of the morning. After our wedding, our honeymoon trip took us to Boston, Mass.
And we also attended a major league baseball game at Fenway Park.
I matriculated at Wilkes College for two years. I transferred to Ithaca College in Ithaca,
NewYork, majors were in health, physical education and recreation. I completed two degrees,
one was a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts. My career in education as a teacher lasted
twenty-seven years.
Below is a list of high schools:
Two years at Smithfeld, Pennsylvania
Eight years at Dryden Central School, Dryden, N.Y.
Seventeen years at Neptune, Neptune, N.J.
I was a baseball and basketball coach at the above named schools.
Our family consists of MaryAnn and Richard.
At the present time we live in Nanticoke.
I retired from teaching in the year of 1981.

and tending to my herbs and
flowers and planting trees. I ac-
tually teach some independent
gardening classes. I have to
mention being with my cats,
too. I love them.
So what is in your fridge at
home? Pizza and Coke slush-
ies are some of my favorites, so
I guess ingredients for those.
Favorite restaurant?
Raubs in Plymouth.
Favorite places you have
visited? I like the Susquehan-
na Riverlands in Berwick and
Longwood Gardens in Kennett
Square, Pa.
Before you become en-
gaged and engulfed with your
commitment to The Crime
Watch Coalition, what did you
do as a job?I was a cook and a
nutrition aide at Child Develop-
ment Council of NEPA. My fam-
ily owned pizza restaurants
that I worked at when I was
growing up. Lombardellis and
Zaccagnis.
Favorite quote? Never
doubt that a small group of
thoughtful and committed citi-
zens can change the world; in-
deed, its the only thing that ev-
er does. Margaret Mead
Person you admire? My
grandmother, Catherine was old-
school but she was very knowl-
edgeable and had good values.
One of the proudest mo-
ments in you life? Winning
the Jefferson Award in 2008
for volunteerism was a very
proud occasion.
Closing thought? I want
people to be safe and know
that I have a passion for this
city and its historic value as
well as the family values that
need to be protected. I have
lived here all my life and I see
that crimepreventionandsafe-
ty should be the key aspect of
Wilkes-Barre and the surround-
ing areas.

foster homes. His life had taken
an almost opposite turn from
hers juvenile detention, pris-
on, drug addiction.
His death released a flood of
nightmares, repressed memories
andquestions about her past. She
spent years researching her fam-
ily history, digging through her
child welfare records and inter-
viewing whoever she could find
who could help her put together
the broken pieces of her life.
Initially, it was just supposed
to be a legacy for my children, to
help them understand their
mother, says Watson a divorcee,
referring to her now-adult chil-
dren, Jamila Sudduth and Yoha-
nis Watson. She never planned to
publishit, but a fewfriends insist-
ed she do so.
Writing the book served as a
catharsis for me, she says. Wat-
son also hopes the book will in-
spire improvements in the foster
care system, including more ef-
forts to keep siblings together
and greater support for children
aging out.
But more than that, she hopes
her story lets children in foster
care know they can make it de-
spite dire statistics that suggest
otherwise. A study from the Jim
Casey Youth Opportunities Ini-
tiative, a St. Louis-basednonprof-
it, reports that one in five foster
children becomes homeless after
age 18, fewer than three in five
graduate from high school by 19,
and fewer than 3 percent will
earn a college degree by 25.
Watsons story shows that
starting behind doesnt have to
mean ending behind.
Determined to give her then-6-
year-old son a better life than she
had, Watson started Highland
Park Community College at the
age of 27. She took two buses
an approximately 2-hour journey
after dropping her sonoff with
a sitter.
Watson went on to earn five
academic degrees, including two
masters degrees and a Ph.D. in
higher education from Capella
University in Minneapolis.
She attributes her success to
several factors an innate drive
to succeed that led one foster
mother to frequently call her a
stubborn little heifer, a love of
reading that began when a con-
cernedneighbor gave her a single
book, and teachers and adminis-
trators who cared for her.
I wanted to be invisible, and I
foundI couldlosemyself inbooks
and become anybody I wanted
to, she says.
Her love of reading also saved
her. Though she moved around a
lot fromone foster home toan-
other, mostly on Detroits east
side, she did well in school and
was encouraged by teachers and
administrators. At every school,
there was at least one personwho
recognized and encouraged her
abilities.
I havealways lovedbooks, and
I had good caring teachers who
inspired, pushed and insisted
that I do well, says Watson, who
graduated from Inkster High
School in 1971.
Her faith also helped. She al-
ways believed her life would get
better and she trusted in a higher
power.
I never could have made it
without Godplacingangels inmy
path, Watsonsays. I amnot a re-
ligious person per se ... but I am
spiritual and truly believe in a
personal relationship with God.
Her beliefs, as she puts it in her
book, helped her wrestle with
the demons of self-doubt and
fear.
Watson makes a point of reac-
hing out to others who have been
in foster care as well. Shirley Bol-
den, a writer who teaches GED
preparation at Wayne County
Community College District is
among students mentored by
Watson.
When she tells me everything
will be OK, I believe it because I
knowshe has been through what
Ive been through, says Bolden,
23, who also grew up in foster
care.
She is the first foster care
adult Id met whose life was still
intact. Most peoples stories
leave you feeling like theres no
hope. She has become like a sec-
ondmother tome. I govisit her in
her office at least once a week.
WhenI walk into her office its
a constant reminder that success
does exist after foster care.

I had no feeling in my feet and did not feel comfortable walking up
steps and maintaining my balance. My feet would swell and hurt so
bad that even a blanket on them would be painful. It limited me
because I couldnt walk even in my bare feet. Now I can walk in my
bare feet and I love it.
I now can walk up and down steps easily and dont have the
severe pain that I had. I recommend Neuropathy Center

HE SWORE
HE felt no
extra stress
trying to run
laps around the
NASCAR re-
cord books
while dom-
inating his sport the way Wayne
Gretzky and Michael Jordan
once did in theirs.
But something happened to
Jimmie Johnson when he didnt
win the Sprint Cup Series last
year.
I sat up here last year and
said I didnt feel pressure, John-
son said. Once the streak was
cleared out and I couldnt keep
it alive, I felt different.
It was always been more than
a feeling when Johnson sits in a
race car.
With him, NASCAR races are
always about the kind of electri-
fying driving performance that
accelerated him to the top
Sprint Cup standings for five
straight years.
Along the ride, Johnson be-
gan gaining recognition that
was unheard of in a sport that
has grown tremendously in
national popularity but has
fought forever to be considered
mainstream.
Yet, with a stream of honors,
Johnson began closing that gap
on his own.
He became the first and only
racecar driver named the Asso-
ciated Press Male Athlete of the
Year in 2009.
He was named by Forbes in
both 2011 and 2012 as the most
influential athlete in the United
States.
Johnson was voted Driver of
the Year four times, joining
teammate Jeff Gordon as the
only four-time winners of that
honor, and won an ESPY Award
for best driver four times as
well.
He had an unprecedented run
of Sprint Cup championships
from 2006 through 2010, a reign
at the top not unlike Gretzkys
hockey days leading the Ed-
monton Oilers to Stanley Cup
championships in the 1980s or
Jordan leading the Chicago
Bulls to three straight NBA
titles twice during that same
era.
Pressure of a champion
But the aura ended for John-
son last season, when he fin-
ished sixth in the points stand-
ings and was out of champion-
ship contention by the final
weekend of racing.
Looking back on it, I guess
there was pressure, Johnson
said. The pressure of trying to
keep that streak alive was grea-
ter than I thought it was, or
realized.
I feel less pressure than what
we had last year.
Thats bad news for the rest of
the field this year.
Because without the demands
of defending a crown, Johnson
has become even more driven.
He comes into todays Pocono
400 Presented by #NASCAR at
Pocono Raceway as dangerous
as ever, with victories in two of
his last three Sprint Cup races
at Darlington in the middle of
May and at Dover last week.
Johnson still sits at fifth in
this years drivers standings
after finishing 42nd due to an
accident to open the season at
Daytona and 35th when engine
problems cost him at Talladega.
After that, though, the mo-
mentum has shifted his way.
The most useful momen-
tum, Johnson said, is the
momentum of your own team
running well. When youre able
to pull into victory lane, it rein-
forces what youre trying to do.
What he is trying to do is get

LONG POND Joey Logano and
his Joe Gibbs Racing team thought
180 was the magical number.
It wasnt Saturday in qualifying for
the NASCAR Sprint Cup Pocono 400
Presented by #NASCAR. Logano,
though, still had the winning ticket.
The 22-year-old shattered the qual-
ifying record as was expected with
the new pavement to gain the pole
for todays race. It was the fourth
pole in his 125-race Cup career and
his second in a row at Pocono Race-
way. Logano started first in August
2011 and led 44 laps, but finished
26th.
Loganos qualifying lap of 179.598
mph trashed the previous record of
172.533 mph set by Kasey Kahne in
July 2004. In all, 36 drivers were
faster than Kahne in 2004, thanks to
the new surface.
We sat in our team meeting yester-
day and it was what do you think its
going to take to get the pole?

NEWYORKUnion Rags picked up right
where Ill Have Another left off, coming from
behind to catch a Bob Baffert-trained horse at
the finish in a Triple Crown race.
In Saturdays Belmont Stakes, it was anoth-
er photofinishdecidedby a neck. Just like the
Preakness.
The 3-year-oldbay colt
barreled through a slim
opening on the rail to
edge Paynter, dealing
Baffert, jockey Mike
Smithandowner Ahmed
Zayat a third loss in this
years Triple Crown se-
ries.
We needed every bit
of the mile and a half,
winning trainer Michael Matz said.
Ill Have Another won the Kentucky Derby
and Preakness with stirring stretch drives
over Bafferts Bodemeister. But the champion
stunned the racing world Friday when he was
scratched from the Belmont and retired due
to a tendon injury, relinquishing a shot at the
first Triple Crown sweep since 1978 and only
the 12th ever.
His absence opened up the race for Union
Rags, who finished a troubled seventh in the
Derby after a bumpy start.
Union Rags skipped the Preakness and
switched jockeys for the Belmont fromJu-
lien Leparoux to John Velazquez, who picked
up his second Belmont victory; he won in
2007 with filly Rags to Riches.
I have to give it to the horse. He did it all
for me. He just worked so unbelievable and I
was just hoping he could put that work into
todays race and he did, said Velazquez, who
will enter racings Hall of Fame in August. I
was very proud of him.

plenty of good horses and with anyone of several trotters in this race
having a shot at winning. But when the chips are on the table I am
going with rank outsider Sing Jesse Sing for the upset. The five-year
old son of Jailhouse Jesse is coming off a very impressive come from
behind victory at Yonkers to win going away in a solid1:56.2. Trained
by Ron Burke, this newcomer to the Downs has shown he can score
on a five-eighths mile track as well, winning back on May 2 at the

absolutely loaded with early speed and I like my chances of getting

Tyler Cloyd got off to a great
start for Lehigh Valley to start
the season when the 25-year-old
threw six perfect innings to
open the season against the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees.
After that start, the right-
hander was sent back to Dou-
ble-A Reading. In four starts
with the R-Phils, he proved he
deserved to be at a higher level
with a 1.80 ERA and 20 strike-
outs and three walks in four
starts for a 4-0 record and
earned the Eastern League
Pitcher of the Week the final
week he was with Reading.
Since being back with the
IronPigs and making his first
start on May 5, hes been just as
good as he was in his first stint
with Lehigh Valley.
At 6-foot-3, 190-pounds, hes
posted a 5-1 record with a 2.47
ERA in eight starts for the Pigs.
The 18th round pick in 2008 out
of Bellevue East High School in
Nebraska, has piled up 33 strike-
outs and just 10 walks in 43
2
3
innings for Lehigh Valley and
may be in line for a call-up to
Philadelphia if circumstances
play out in his favor.
Here are Philadelphias top 10
prospects according to
MLB.com and how they are
faring in 2012.
1. Trevor May, RHP, Reading
(Double-A): A fourth-round pick

hovering below 3.00.
For the season, hes 5-4 with
67 strikeouts and 25 walks in 63
2
3innings.
2. Jesse Biddle, LHP, Clear-
water (A-Advanced): He threw
his fifth consecutive start of at
least six innings and no more
than one earned allowed last
week as the first round draft
pick in 2010 watched his ERA
fall to 2.51 for the season.
Over his last eight starts, hes
allowed just six earned runs in
46 innings for a 1.17 ERA. Hes
3-2 with 64 strikeouts in 57
1
3
innings this season.
3. Brody Colvin, RHP, Clear-
water (A-Advanced): Hes been
moved to the bullpen after a few
rough starts. In four relief ap-

with a 3-4 record to go with 41
strikeouts in 52
2
3 innings.
4. Larry Greene, first base,

professional game. The 19-year-
old is currently in extended
spring training. He may join
Williamsport when the Short
Season opens next week.
5. Phillippe Aumont, RHP,
Lehigh Valley (Triple-A): After
returning from a DL stint, the
6-foot-7, 260-pound 23-year-old
reliever has been good for the
IronPigs throwing six innings
and allowing just three runs and
fanned eight while picking up
his fifth and sixth saves of the
season.
6. Sebastian Valle, catcher,
Reading (Double-A): The 21-
year-old is getting back on track

last 10 games to raise his aver-
age from .232 to .247.
7. Justin De Fratus, RHP,

ERA drop to 3.79 with a 5-5
record.
10. Roman Quinn, shortstop,

P Cloyd shines
in return to Pigs
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
drosengrant@timesleader.com
Trenton manager Tony Fran-
klin picked up career victory No.
1,000 on June 2. It didnt come
easy and neither did No. 1,001.
But both came on the same
day in unordinary fashion.
After play was halted entering
the bottom of the eighth on June
1, the Thunder and New Hamp-
shire finally finished the contest
the next day with a 3-2 win in 14
innings on a walk-off home run
by Jose Pirela. It gave the dramat-
ic, milestone victory to the skip-
per, who turned 62 on Saturday
and is in his 17th season as a
manager, the last six with Tren-
ton.
Later in the day when the
teams then played their regularly-
scheduled game, Trenton won 6-5
in 15 innings.
In the second game of the day,
outfielder Shane Brown was
called in to pitch the top of the
15th when Franklin was out of
pitchers. Not only did Brown pick
up the victory on the mound
while striking out two batters,
but he won the game for himself
when he drove in the winning
run in the bottom of the inning.
Here are the New York Yankees
top-10 prospects according to
MLB.com.
1. Manny Banuelos, LHP,
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Triple-
A): The left-hander, currently on
the disabled list, is 0-2 with a 4.50
ERA in six starts for Yankees
with 22 Ks in 24 innings.
2. Dellin Betances, RHP, Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre (Triple-A): Last
week, the 6-foot-8, 260-pounder
walked six and fanned six in 5
1/3 innings of a no-decision ver-
sus Norfolk.
On the season, hes 3-4 with a
5.29 ERA, 51 strikeouts and 52
walks in 58 innings.
3. Gary Sanchez, catcher, Char-
leston (A): The 19-year-old has
been on fire of late hitting a lusty
.357 with five homers and 22 RBI
in his last 10 games.
For the season, his average is at
.294 with eight longballs, 43 RBI
and 10 stolen bases in 13 tries.
4. Mason Williams, outfielder,
Charleston (A): Like his team-
mate at Charleston, Sanchez,
Williams has been red-hot of late
going 11-for-29 during a six-game
hitting streak. His average, which
has hovered around .270 all sea-
son, is now at .299 with four
home runs, 19 RBI and 16 steals.
5. Jose Campos, RHP, Char-
leston (A): A19-year-old acquired
from Seattle in the offseason was
off to a good start, but is current-
ly on the D.L. with elbow in-
flammation.
6. Slade Heathcott, outfielder,
TBA: The 2009 first-round draft
pick was expected to play his first
game of the season on June 5
with High-A Tampa after recover-
ing from a shoulder injury. He
suffered a slight setback and is
expected to return soon.
7. Austin Romine, catcher,
TBA: The 23-year-old announced
on Twitter last week that he was
cleared for baseball activities.
Hes on the D.L. with an inflamed
disc in his back and is expected
back in July.
8. Dante Bichette Jr., third
base, Charleston (A): The 19-
year-old is son of former Major
League outfielder and was MVP
of the Gulf Coast League last
season after being drafted as New
Yorks first pick in 2011 (51st
overall).
Hes currently batting .263 on
the season with one home run
and 21 RBI.
9. Cito Culver, shortstop, Char-
leston (A): A first-round pick in
2010 (32 overall), the 19-year-old
switch-hitting No. 2 hitter in the
RiverDogs lineup has reached
base in 27 straight games. Hes
only hitting .240 (25-for-104) in
the span, but hes getting on base.
Hes scored 22 runs, drawn 21
walks and stolen five bases dur-
ing that stretch.
10. Adam Warren, RHP, Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre (Triple-A): He
picked up his seventh quality
start of the season when he shut-
out Durham for seven innings
and picked up his fourth win. For
the season, hes 4-3 with a 3.89
ERA and 51 strikeouts in 69
1
3
innings.

UPCOMI NG SCHEDUL E
Russ Canzler, Hazleton
Area, Columbus (Cleveland,
Triple-A): The Hazleton native
is trying to find his form
from 2011 when he was the
International League MVP
when he was among league
leaders in numerous offen-
sive categories.
Hes been in a slump over
his last 10 games hitting just
.118 (4-for-34) as his batting
average dropped to .251. To
date for the Clippers, he has
three home runs, 16 RBI and a
.301 on base percentage.
The 26-year-old isnt the
only one struggling for the
back-to-back Governors Cup
champion Clippers as they
have dropped seven of 10,
including two losses in a row
and are currently tied for
second in the International
League West Division, seven
games behind Indianapolis.
Canzler was originally
drafted by the Cubs in the
30th round in 2004. He was
signed as a minor league free
agent by Tampa Bay last year
and then traded to Cleveland
in the offseason.
Cory Spangenberg,
Abington Heights, Lake
Elsinore (San Diego, Class A
advanced): Drafted last June
by the Padres 10th overall,
Spangenberg has reached
base in 17 consecutive games
for the Storm and has hit
safely in 14 of those, with one
being just one plate appear-
ance for a walk. During his
last 10 games, hes raised his
average to .299 by hitting
.375 (15-for-40) in that time
and hit his first home run of
the season last week.
For the season, the left-
handed batting second
baseman has 20 stolen bases
in 25 attempts to go along
with six triples, 11 doubles and
31 RBI in 59 games. After 2011,
he was rated by Baseball
America as having the best
strike-zone discipline in the
Padres organization. To date,
he has walked 15 times and
struck out 45 times in 244
at-bats.
Ray Black, Coughlin,
San Francisco (extended
spring training): A power
pitcher, Black is nursing a
shoulder injury which arose
at the end of spring training
and hes been sidelined for
about two months while in
extended spring training in
Scottsdale, Ariz.
He threw a bullpen session
last week, then felt more
soreness and went for a
cortisone shot Friday.
The seventh-round draft
pick (237th overall) out of the
University of Pittsburgh last
June is hoping to join the
short season Salem-Keizer
Volcanoes in Oregon which
begins play June 14 or the
Low Class A team in Augusta
or possibly join the Arizona
Rookie League Giants.
Black is ranked the No. 24
overall prospect in the orga-
nization, according to Base-
ball America and has been
known to reach in the high
90s with his fastball. He is
also listed as an Under the
Radar player for the orga-
nization, according to
MLB.com.
Rich Thompson,
Montrose, Tampa Bay Rays:
The 33-year-old was optioned
to Durham from Tampa Bay
last week after spending
nearly a month on the Major
League roster.
For the Rays, he had just
one hit in 16 at-bats for the
Rays, picked up two stolen
bases, scored two runs and
knocked one in.
In one game since being
sent to Durham, hes gone
2-for-9 in games against the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees.
Last month, he was traded
to Tampa from the Phillies
and was immediately called
up to the big leagues. Before
the trade, he was hitting .307
for Lehigh Valley with seven
stolen bases and an on-base
percentage of .390 for the
IronPigs.
Kyle McMyne, Old
Forge, Bakersfield (Cincinnati,
Class A Advanced): Taken by
the Reds in the fourth round
(145th overall) of last years
draft out of Villanova, the
right-handed reliever started
the season in Low-A ball
before being promoted to
Class A Advanced Bakersfield.
In five appearances so far
for the Blaze, hes had good
and not-so-good outings
allowing five runs in his three
bad relief appearances and
pitching scoreless ball in his
other three.
For the season for Bakers-
field, he has a 5.87 ERA
giving up five runs in 7
2
3
innings.
Before his promotion in
Low A Dayton, he threw in 24
1
3 innings with 22 strikeouts
and just eight walks. He was
3-2 with a 2.59 ERA in 18
appearances holding oppo-
nents to a .215 batting aver-
age and only allowed one
home run.
Overall this season in the
minors, he is 3-3 with a 3.38
ERA in 24 games.

Steve Horne spends his
professional days working on
baseball fields, but he still
enjoys the memories of when
those fields were a place for
him to play.
When I think back on base-
ball, it wasnt being a ground-
skeeper or working on the
field, said Horne, the director
of field operations for the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees. It was running out on
the lush green grass and play-
ing the game when I was a
kid.
When approached by Yan-
kees office staff about a new
Adopt a Field Program,
Horne did his best to try to
make time on the field a more
enjoyable experience for mem-
bers of the Moosic Little
League.
In todays electronic age,
youre seeing fewer and fewer
kids participate, Horne said.
Im a firm believer that we
need to encourage our children
to get back out and play, and
do the things that we did when
I was a child.
Horne led the way in cre-
ating a plan and the Yankees
staff joined him in doing the
work May 22 at Michael Felter
Field in Moosic. The staff
worked from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. to
make sure the field was ready
for games that night.
The Little League field reha-
bilitation program, which the
team plans to continue in fu-
ture seasons, gave the Yankees
a way to keep contact with the
community. The Triple-A base-
ball franchise is playing all its
games away from home this
season and the remaining
office staff has relocated else-
where in Moosic while PNC
Field is being reconstructed.
We chose Moosic Little
League because Moosic has
been such a gracious host to
the team since 1989, said
Katie Beekman, the vice presi-
dent of marketing and corpo-
rate services for the SWB Yan-
kees.
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Red Barons franchise arrived in
1989 and became the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in
2007.
Beekman said the team will
help refurbish one field each in
Lackawanna and Luzerne
counties each year. Horne
visited Kingston/Forty Fort
Little League on Friday to
make plans for work on that
field, tentatively set for June
15.
According to Beekman,
information will be added to
the teams web site (swbyan-
kees.com) in the next month
or so about how local Little
Leagues can apply to be part of
the program in the future.
Horne visited Moosic first
and made a work plan for Yan-
kees staff members, many of
whom were doing field work
for the first time. The crew
refurbished the field through a
long day of work before Horne
spoke to coaches and volun-
teers of the Little League to
instruct them on how they can
maintain the field in the future.
They got to see hands-on
how its done; how to build a
mound, how to properly rake
an infield skin Horne said.
We gave them a written main-
tenance program broken down
month-by-month.
There are things you can do
in December that can help four
months later.
The Yankees crew also
showed there are things that
can be done in May to make
the remainder of a season more
enjoyable.
Curt Camoni, SWB Yankees
vice president of operations,
said the Little Leagues that are
selected benefit from instruc-
tion specific to the conditions
of their fields.
Whats great about this
program is that each field will
receive an individualized eval-
uation and athletic field main-
tenance clinic from our direc-
tor of field operations, Camo-
ni said in a press release. It
wont be just a cookie-cutter
type of program.
He will work with the head
of each league and whoever
maintains the fields to develop
a long-term plan that the
leagues can adhere to.
Horne has been involved in
similar programs in the past,
including when he led field
operations in Memphis.
We want to let people know
that were here and we care
about the roots of the commu-
nity, he said.
Once the original work and
instruction is provided, Horne
said he is hopeful each league
will be able to have better
playing conditions for years to
come.

back to the top of his sport. And
there is no better place for himto
show it than at Pocono, where

A crowd of 85,811 cheered as
Paynter and Union Rags battled
down the stretch, and Union
Rags barely caught the front-run-
ner in the second straight photo
finish to decide a Triple Crown
race this year.
Is there a Triple Crown for
seconds? Baffert said. I really
felt like I was going to win the
Belmont. It was snatched away
again.
Zayat was just as bummed,
calling it a heartbreaking de-
feat.
He ran his guts out, he said,
referring to Paynter, who was
making just his fourth career
start. Im very disappointed we
opened the rail for (Union
Rags).
Jockey Mike Smith took the
blame.
Im an old veteran, you
know, he said. Theyre not sup-
posedtoget throughonthefence
on me, and he did. I dropped the
ball. My fault.
Union Rags was along the in-
side in the middle of the pack un-
til it was time to make a move for
the lead, and thats when Velaz-
quez guided him to the inside of
the front-running Paynter. They
raced head-to-head, with both
jockeys furiously whipping their
horses in the shadowof the wire.
Union Rags stuck a neck in front
in a finish that was decided by a
photo.
Union Rags, the 5-2 second
choice, covered the 1
1
2 miles in
2:30.42. The colt owned by Phyl-
lis Wyeth returned $7.50, $4.20
and $3.40. Paynter, who sat out
the Derby and Preakness, paid
$5.10 and $3.90. Atigun was an-
other 1 3-4 lengths back in third
and paid $10.60 to show.
It was my dreamandhe made
it come true, said Wyeth, wheel-
chair-bound as the result of a
1962 car accident in which she
broke her neck. Nobody would
have gotten through on the rail
other than Johnny. That was un-
believable. He just said, Move
over, Imcoming. He believed in
the horse and Michael got him
there.
Paynter and Smith bolted to
the lead out of the gate and
stayed in front under a moderate
pace, with long shots Unstoppa-
ble U and Optimizer tucked be-
hind him. Union Rags saved
groundbyhuggingthe rail all the
way around, while Dullahan,
who also went off at 5-2, dropped
backtoninthinthe11-horsefield.
Turning for home, Union Rags
was full of run, but needed an
opening. Velazquez had no room
to swing outside, so he focused
on finding a hole along the rail.
Suddenly, a sliver appeared
when Paynter slid over just
enough to let Union Rags
throughinthe final sixteenthof a
mile. And then it was a charge to
the finish line.
He jumped right in there and
before I could do anything about
it, it was too late to stop him,
said Smith, who was aboard Bo-
demeister in the two earlier de-
feats.
Street Life was fourth, fol-
lowed by Five Sixteen, Unstop-
pable U, Dullahan, My Adonis,
Ravelos Boy and Optimizer.
Guyana Star Dweej trailed badly
and was eased in the stretch by
jockey Kent Desormeaux.
Before the race, Ill Have An-
other with jockey Mario Gutier-
rez aboard walked into the win-
ners circle for a tribute to the
newly retired champion. Trainer
Doug ONeill removed the chest-
nut colts saddle for the last time
as his barnstaff huggedeachoth-
er andthecrowdcheeredinapoi-

Trainer Michael Matz, left, tries to hoist the Belmont Stakes
trophy with jockey John Velazquez, right, after Union Rags cap-
tured the Belmont Stakes in Elmont, N.Y., on Saturday.
ELMONT, N.Y. All had an-
other day to ponder how this
years Double Crown thorough-
bred champion had been so
abruptly left in the figurative Bel-
mont Stakes starting gate. And,
essentially, the feeling on Satur-
day was the same as after Fridays
bombshell announcement that
Kentucky Derby-Preakness cham-
pion Ill Have Another was being
scratched because of tendinitis in
his right front leg.
In a slightly ghostly ritual, be-
forethefeatureevent, Ill HaveAn-
other was paraded from the pad-
dock onto the track as if some
fickle finger of fate had not ended
his career a day early only to
have trainer Doug ONeill remove
his saddle in the winners circle.
ONeill called the gesture "a fit-
ting ceremonial retirement for an
incredible racehorse," and an op-
portunity for Ill Have Anothers
fans "who traveled from near and
far tosee" him. All aroundtheBel-
mont grounds, there were Ill
Have Another apparitions his
namestill listedintheraces print-
ed lineups, his image still on the
cover of thedays official program.
"Its a little sad," saidMario Gu-
tierrez, Ill Have Anothers 25-
year-oldMexicanjockey. "But you
know, the trainer made the deci-
sion for the horses good. Hes the
one who brought us here, so you
havetotakecareof him. If itwasnt
for him, we wouldnt be here.
"The showhas to keep going. It
has to continue."
The wave of some occult hand
might have cost Gutierrez
$60,000 what wouldhave been
his 10 percent share of the Bel-
mont Stakes winnings had Ill
Have Another become the 12th
horse in history to complete the
Triple Crown sweep. What were
the odds of the Belmont favorite
having to drop out after suffering
the equivalent of a twisted ankle
the day before his biggest race?
"This is horse racing," Gutier-
rezsaid. "It alwayshappens, right?
Its just everybody is paying so
muchattentiontothisrace, but its
likeaneverydaything. Youhaveto
understand: Sixweeksagononeof
you even knew who I was, so Ill
Have Another hasnt done noth-
ing but make my dreams come
true.
"It was an unbelievable journey
and nobodys going to (take) it
away. I got the Kentucky Derby. I
got the Preakness. Those are stay-
ing with me for the rest of my life,
and its just thanks to Ill Have An-
other. He made that possible in
my life."
Whatever conspiracy theories
are out there about Ill Have An-
others sudden withdrawal, given
ongoing scrutiny of ONeills re-
cord of drug violations; whatever
second-guessing about the new
detentionbarnorderedfor all Bel-
mont Stakes entrants by state rac-
ing officials; whatever talk of how
modern breeding has made thor-
oughbreds more brittle; whatever
arguments for a more reasonable
spacing of the three Triple Crown
eventsinsteadof crammedinto
fivefranticweeksthehorsethat
Gutierrez simply called "Boy" or
"My Boy" already had left his
mark on the day and the racing
season.
For his prerace appearance, Ill
HaveAnother took14laps around
the paddockarea 140paces per
lap, ironicallytotalingroughlythe
mile and a half he would not be
runningonthe track, andwearing
a gray saddle blanket with the red
No. 11post position he would not
be filling. Gutierrez mounted him

ONeill removed the saddle, gave
him three pats on the back and
walked back through the tunnel
away fromthe track.

NEW YORK Bob Baffert
sure knows howto lose thrillers.
It happened again Saturday,
when Union Rags nipped the
trainers front-running Paynter
at the wire and won the Belmont
Stakes.
The nail-biting defeat made it
three straight for Baffert in this
seasons Triple Crown races.
Add those to two of his three
near misses with a Triple Crown
on the line, and thats quite a run
of tough luck.
Theres more. Baffert also
came up on the losing end of a
photo finish in the 1996 Ken-
tucky Derby with Cavonnier
This has been one rugged Tri-
ple Crown season for Baffert,
still recovering from a heart at-
tack while in Dubai in late
March. In the Derby, Ill Have
Another ran down Bodemeister
in the final 100 yards and won by
1
1
2 lengths. Two weeks later in
the Preakness, the result was the
same, but by a neck.
Paynter drifted out a little
near the finish in the 1
1
2--mile
Belmont, and Union Rags got
his neck infront at the wire, leav-
ing Baffert a close-call loser
again. It was another photo fin-
ish.
Is there a Triple Crown for
seconds? Baffert asked. I really
thought he was going to win to-
day. He was doing so well.
Baffert said he felt bad for
owner Ahmed Zayat, who has
his own string of second-place
finishes. He also owns Bode-
meister, and Pioneerof the Nile
was second in the 2009 Derby
and Nehro was runner-up in the
2011 Derby.
The poor guy. Hes been
tortured on this Triple Crown,
Baffert said.
Hall of Fame rider Mike
Smith, who was aboard Bode-
meister in the Derby and Preak-
ness, was Bafferts choice to ride
Paynter, too. And it looked as if
Smith would come through, but
Union Rags relentlessly closed
the gap and won by a neck.
Smith blamed himself for the
loss.
Im an old veteran, you
know? Smith said. Theyre not
supposed to get through on the
fence on me, and he did. I drop-
ped the ball. My fault.
Added Baffert: He will prob-
ably take a lot of heat for Union
Rags moving past him on the
rail, Baffert said. Its a jockey
thing. He didnt want to give up
the rail. But you know what, he
did a tremendous job.
Make no mistake, Baffert has
won his share of classics the
Derby three times, the Preak-
ness five times and the Belmont
once.
In1997, Silver Charmwon the
first two legs of the Triple Crown
and was 75 yards from winning
the Belmont before losing by
three-quarters of a length to
Touch Gold.
The next year, Baffert was
back again, and this time the de-
feat was as bad as it gets. Real
Quiet had a big lead in the
stretch but started staggering to
the finish and Victory Gallop
somehow caught up and won af-
ter an agonizingly long wait for
the photo finish.
In 2002, War Emblemwon the
first two legs for Baffert, but
stumbled at the start of the Bel-
mont and finished eighth.
After all that, Baffert still says
Point Given probably was his
best chance at the Triple Crown.
In 2001, Point Given had a tough
Derby andfinishedoff the board,
but came back and won the
Preakness and Belmont in dom-
inating fashion.
Paynter was making just his
fifth start. He came into the Bel-
mont off a win in the 1 1-16th-
mile allowance race at Pimlico
on Preakness day, May 19. The
son of Awesome Again is still
learning, Baffert says, and could
end up in the Travers at Saratoga
over the summer.
We were always high on this
horse. It just took him a little
longer to come around, Baffert
said. The horse is really green.
He ran a helluva race.
But it wasnt good enough in a
race that did not include Ill
Have Another, who was retired
with a tendon injury Friday.
Trainer Baffert is
baffled once again
Another of his prominent
horses loses in final moments
of a Triple Crown race.

LONG POND Wobbling
just slightly out of the first turn
was enough to cost Greg Biffle a
shot at the pole. And the Sprint
Cup Series points leader knew
it.
I was a lot better than that,
Biffle said of his qualifying time
of 50.699 seconds, which placed
him 13th in the field for todays
Pocono 400 Presented by #NAS-
CAR. It kind of bounced and
slid up a little bit and chattered
in (turns) one and two, and I just
lost that smooth transition and
getting back to the gas early. I
just missed it.
The freshly paved track at Po-
cono Raceway made for record
qualifying times Saturday, but it
didnt make things easier on
some of the circuits most suc-
cessful drivers.
Biffle, who holds a one-point
lead over Matt Kenseth atop the
standings, will start outside the
top-10 for just the fourth time in
14 races this season.
In the tunnel (turn) I was fair,
and in three I was about on the
edge, Biffle said. I got all I
could get down there, so proba-
bly a couple 10ths (of a second)
inone is probably all I couldhave
gained. Thats still not where we
needed to be.
Pocono hasnt exactly en-
deared itself to Biffle in the past.
Though he broke through with a
win there in the 2010 August
race, his average finish is 18th.
Shortly before that victory,
Biffle expressed disgust with the
tracks safety issues to Sports Il-
lustrated, predicting that
theyre going to kill somebody
there in the wake of an infa-
mous crash by Kasey Kahne.
With improved safety mea-
sures to go along with the new
pavement, however, Biffle
changed his tune this week,
praising the updates to the site.
Nowhis focus is on holding on to
the points lead.
Biffle was hardly the only big
name to struggle on the newsur-
face on Saturday.
Five-time Cup champion Jim-
mie Johnson qualified a disap-
pointing 24th for his second
worst starting position of the
season. Johnson entered the
weekend fifth in the standings.
Reigning champ Tony Stewart
(eighth in points) will start
22nd. Kensethis one spot behind
Biffle in 14th.
Teams arrived in town earlier
than usual this week to test on
the new surface. But that extra
time wasnt much help for qual-
ifying. An engine failure in turn
one during a Friday practice ses-
sion prompted the use of oil-dry
to soak up residue from the mis-
hap, creating some slippery con-
ditions.
Several drivers said that unex-
pected factor affected their
times.
We went to bed last night
thinking we were going to have a
real good opportunity to qualify
inside the top-five. But we got
here this morning and the track
was in real bad condition be-
cause of a car blowing a motor,
said Dale Earnhardt Jr., who will
start eighth. It just kind of
threw a big curveball into every-
bodys plans. So we didnt really
know what to expect.
One driver high in the stand-
ings who had few issues during
qualifying was, naturally, Denny
Hamlin.
Despite two sub-par showings
at Pocono last year, Hamlin has
dominated the course, winning
four times in 12 tries and finish-
ing in sixth place or better in
eight races.
Hamlin, who enters today
fourth in points, qualified in fifth
place and nearly ran down pole-
sitter Joey Logano before finish-
ing .296 seconds off the lead.
We were on pace for the pole
and just got loose in turn three
and lost a bunch of time, Ham-
lin said. I wanted to get below
50 seconds. We have a great car
for (today) and should be up
front throughout the day.
Hopefully we can get the first
win at Pocono on the new pave-
ment.

for everybody and do what he
did in practice, Edwards said.
Im telling you, I have to give
Joey credit. For me, its very
difficult to run a fast lap yester-
day, go through the night
thinking of everything and
come back a day later with
pretty difficult conditions in
turn one and back that effort
up.
Thats pretty impressive.
Those difficult conditions
were caused by an ARCA car
blowing an engine in practice
late Friday. Oil-dry wasnt com-
pletely cleaned from the track,
making the surface slick.
Logano said. I was thinking,
Man, its going to take an 80
(180 mph) to get it. Just going
a little bit faster than my mock
run yesterday was able to get
it.
Loganos effort didnt escape
Carl Edwards, whose speed of
178.886 was good for second.
Paul Menard will start third
and Kyle Busch fourth.
Joey had to go and show off
That was obvious when the
first qualifier, Reed Sorsenson,
made his run. A white plume
trailed his No. 32 Ford, a sight
similar to when an engine is
about to expire. After Tony
Raines made his attempt, qual-
ifying was stopped for about 40
minutes until blowers cleaned
the track.
Conditions remained far
from optimal when qualifying
resumed, but improved as
more cars made runs.
Sitting there on pit road
ready to go, all you can think
about is the first couple of cars
that went out, said David Ra-
gan, the third driver out after
the delay. Dust flying, theyre
skating all over the race track,
so youre a little timid coming
to the green.
Logano wasnt exempt in his
No. 20 Toyota.
Even when I went out there, I
got to the trouble spot and got a
little loose over it, Logano said.
I was thinking, Ah, I didnt get
to the bottom as well as I wanted
to. I felt like I left a tenth-and-
half right there.
Loganos pole was part of a pro-
ductive day for Gibbs. The for-
mer Washington Redskins head
coach had all three of his drivers
qualify up front, with Denny
Hamlin (fifth) joining Logano
and Busch.

LONG POND Reed Sore-
nson was fortunate. The
trouble he experienced as
the first driver out for qual-
ifying Saturday didnt mean
a trip home.
Sorensons No. 32 Ford
shot up a trail of oil-dry on
its attempt, a situation that
stopped qualifying for about
40 minutes until Pocono
Raceways track could be
cleaned up. The oil-dry was
left over from Friday when
an ARCA car blew an en-
gine.
When I went out there to
come back around to take
the green, I saw how wide it
(the oil-dry) was, Sorenson
said. Fortunately, were
locked into the show here. If
I wasnt locked in the show,
I would not have been too
excited about sailing it off
into (turn) one there, but we
could go pretty easy through
there just because we didnt
have to take any chances.
Sorensons team is 33rd in
owners points. The top-35 in
owners points gain automat-
ic berths into each NASCAR
Sprint Cup race.
Still, it wasnt all good
news for Sorenson, who
didnt complete his run and
will start 41st.
We had the fuel pressure
go down, Sorenson said, so
I just shut it off because it
was barely running. Well be
fine, though. Theyll fix it.
POOLE WINS ARCA RACE
Brennan Poole dominated
the field Saturday afternoon
in winning the ARCA Series
Pocono 200.
Poole led 77 of 80 laps,
including the final 60, in
posting the victory. He start-
ed on the pole and led until
surrendering the lead on lap
18 to Chris Buescher for
three laps. Buescher finished
fifth.
Chad Hackenbracht was
second, finishing more than
five seconds behind Poole.
Hazletons Steve Fox placed
15th and two laps behind the
winner.
The race had three cau-
tions for 21 laps.
NONE FOR NO. 9
Scratch Marcos Ambrose
from the list of possible
winners today. Ambrose,
who drives the No. 9 Ford
for Richard Petty, qualified
ninth.
The ninth starting spot
has been a black hole when
it comes to winning at Poco-
no. No driver has won start-
ing ninth in 68 Cup races at
the track. Every other top-10
starting spot has produced
winners, with the pole sitter
winning a record 13 times.
KEEPING A SECRET
Carl Edwards and Paul
Menards qualified second
and third, respectively, and
admitted after qualifying
they used scuffs tires with
a lap or two on them in-
stead of new tires.
As for pole winner Joey
Logano, he was asked by a
reporter as he walked into
his post-qualifying press
conference.
Thats for me to know
and you to find out, Logano
joked.

RECORD

Nothing ever turns out the
way anyone expects when the
U.S. Open goes to The Olympic
Club.
Instead of a record fifth U.S.
Open for Ben Hogan, Olympic
delivered Jack Fleck in one of
golfs biggest upsets. Arnold
Palmer turned his pursuit of a
record score into a royal col-
lapse. Tom Watson had his
heart broken in San Francisco
when Scott Simpson ran off a
late string of birdies.
The way this year is unfold-
ing, Olympic seems like the ide-
al location.
Hardly anything has gone ac-
cording to plan.
Tiger Woods already has won
twice this year, most recently
last week at the Memorial with
a ball-striking clinic and a chip
shot that brought back some of
that magic. That made him the
betting favorite to end his four-
year drought in the majors with
arecord-tyingfourthU.S. Open.
Only its not that simple.
Two months ago, Woods won
Bay Hill by five shots and be-
came an instant favorite at the
Masters. Instead of slipping on
the green jacket, he turned in
his worst performance as a pro
at Augusta National, starting
the worst three-tournament
stretch of his career.
He goes to the Masters and
he fell apart because of nerves
for the first time in his career,
Johnny Miller said. So I dont
know what to think of Tiger
Woods at the Open. I dont
know if that was learned from
Augusta, or something he cant
control.
Rory McIlroy, the defending
champion, returned to No. 1 in
the world just over a month ago
and looked like the player to
beat until the 23-year-old from
Northern Ireland missed three
cuts, threwa club and suddenly
looked lost.
Rickie Fowler, finally a win-
ner on the PGA Tour, was
poised to take his popularity to
new heights until he shot 84 at
Muirfield Village playing in the
second-to-last group with
Woods. Phil Mickelson played
in the last group of the Masters
and fell out of contention when
Lefty hit consecutive shots
from the right side. The green
jacket went to another lefty,
Bubba Watson, a big hitter who
never liked the notion that the
shortest distance between two
points is a straight line.
Golf is difficult to predict
eveninsteady times. Theres no
telling what to expect when the
112th U.S. Open returns to The
Olympic Club on June 14-17 for
the fifth time. History would
suggest there are more surpris-
es in store on the golf course
built on the side of a hill just
south of the Golden Gate
Bridge.
You think about the past na-
tional Opens here that have
been played ... and in some
ways you think, Geez, you re-
member more about whodidnt
win what great legend didnt
win an Open here versus
who did win, USGAexecutive
director Mike Davis said.
Adding to the intrigue is the
parity that has taken over golf
over the last few years. Ever
since Padraig Harrington end-
edthe 2008seasonwithconsec-
utive majors, 14 players have
won the last 14 majors.
Predictions, anyone?
Perhaps the only safe bet is
that Olympic wont be a push-
over.
McIlroy shattered U.S. Open
scoring records last year at
Congressional when he reac-
hed double figures under par
before he even finished his sec-
ond round. Because of soft con-
ditions from rain earlier in the
week, he finished at 268 to
break the record 72-hole record
by four shots, and his 16-under
par was four better than Woods
at Pebble Beach in 2000.
The USGA didnt lose much
sleep when Woods finished at
12-under 272 at Pebble Beach
because no one else was under
par and he won by 15.
Congressional was different.
McIlroy wonby eight shots, but
20 players broke par, the most
since1990 at Medinah, a par 72.
Remember, the year after
Johnny Miller shot 63 to win at
Oakmont in 1973, the U.S.
Openwas as toughas ever. Hale
Irwin finished at 7-over par and
still won by two shots at
Winged Foot.
Were trying to make it the
toughest test of the year. It
didnt happen last year, Davis
said. I would say most of that
was caused by Mother Nature.
What most people dont under-
stand is that it doesnt matter
how you set up a course. If you
give them the ability to know
when the ball lands its going to
stop, its significantly easier.
Thats what is goingtomake
the U.S. Open this year with-
out us trying to retaliate that
much harder, he said. When
the ball lands, whether it hits
the green or in the fairway, its
going to roll.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Davis
Love III thinks hes playing as
well as he did earlier this year
before pulling a rib muscle at
Bay Hill. Now the U.S. Ryder
Cup captain is eager to see just
how much he might do.
Love III shot his third straight
2-under 68 on Saturday to join
Nick OHern and John Merrick
atop the leaderboard at the
windy St. Jude Classic. Asked
what his first PGA Tour win
since 2008 would mean, the
48-year-old Love had a quick
answer.
Be a lot of Ryder Cup
points, Love said.
With a win, Love is projected
to jump from 63 into the top 30
in the Ryder Cup standings.
Love started off this year excit-
ed about how he was playing
before injuries slowed him
down. He wound up not playing
at all for about six weeks after
withdrawing on the final day at
the Arnold Palmer Invitational
in late March before returning
at The Players Championship.
Love tied for 16th at the Me-
morial last week, then played 36
holes in Columbus, Ohio, to
qualify for his 23rd U.S. Open.
He committed late to play in
Memphis, making sure he was
healthy enough to use this event
as a final tuneup.
Love had three birdies and
only one bogey Saturday to
match OHern and Merrick at 6-
under 204, the highest 54-hole
lead on tour this year. OHern
had a 67, and Merrick shot 69.
The man with 20 career PGA
wins said obviously theres a lot
of pressure and he wants to win.
He has only two wins since
winning four times in 2003.
Is it a big huge deal in my
career that I have to win this
week? No. But when you get up
there at the top ... the old feel-
ing kicks in. You concentrate
better, you focus better and my
routines of the day were coming
down those last four, five holes.
And I missed a couple putts, but
I felt like I was right in like old
times ... focused and playing
and enjoying it, Love said.
Rory McIlroy, who will try to
defend his U.S. Open title next
week at The Olympic Club in
San Francisco, had a one-stroke
lead when he teed off. He shot a
2-over 72 in a round that fea-
tured six bogeys and four bird-
ies to drop in a tie at 5 under.
Dustin Johnson, making his
second start after a 2 1/2-month
layoff recovering from back
pain, also was in the group at 5
under after a 67 that included a
bogey on No. 18. J.B. Holmes
was in that knot atop the lead-
erboard going to No. 18, but hit
his tee shot into a bunker and
three-putted for a double bogey
to finish at 4 under.
LPGA Championship
PITTSFORD, N.Y. Eun-
Hee Ji shot a 3-under 69 take a
one-shot lead over Karrie Webb
after the third round of the
LPGA Championship.
Ji was 4 under at Locust Hill.
Webb had a 68, matching Ji for
the best round of the tourna-
ment.
Giulia Sergas, who shared the
first-round lead but had a 76 on
Friday in the wind-swept second
round, moved back near the top
with four birdies on the front
nine and also finished with a 69.
Sergas was tied at 2 under with
Stacy Lewis, Suzann Pettersen
and Inbee Park. Lewis, a two-
time winner in her last three
events, had a 70, Pettersen shot
a 71, and Park had a 72.
Paula Creamer was at or near
the top most of the day, but
faltered at the end and finished
with a 73. She was in a seven-
way tie at 1 under.
Regions Tradition
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. De-
fending champion Tom Lehman
shot a 4-under 68 to take a two-
stroke lead after the third round
of the Regions Tradition, a
Champions Tour major.
Lehman had a 10-under 206
total at Shoal Creek. Peter Se-
nior, a playoff loser to Lehman
last year, and Jeff Sluman were
tied for second. Senior shot 66,
and Sluman 70 on an overcast,
gusty and sometimes drizzly
day.
Bill Glasson held the lead for
all but the tournaments first
hole coming into the day, but
fell three shots back with a 74.
He was tied with Russ Cochran,
Brad Bryant and Fred Funk.
Bryant and Funk shot 71, and
Cochran had a 72.
Nordea Masters
BRO, Sweden Englands
Lee Westwood won the Nordea
Masters for the third time for
his 22nd European Tour title,
closing with a 3-under 69 for a
five-stroke victory.
The third-ranked Westwood
finished at 19-under 269 at Bro
Hof Slott. He also won the event
in 1996 and 2000. Englands
Ross Fisher was second after a
71.

Captain charging up
Ryder Cup rankings
the game for you, Parise said
about Brodeur.
Justin Williams scored for the
Kings, whose once seemingly in-
surmountable 3-0 series lead has
beencut to3-2. Game6is Monday
night in Los Angeles.
More importantly, the Devils
have the Kings wondering whats
going on for the first time in the
postseason.
This marks the first time they
have lost consecutive games this
postseason, and the Devils are
halfway up a mountain that only
one other NHL teamhas climbed
in the final after losing the first
three games.
Only the 1942 Toronto Maple
Leafs came backina best-of-seven
final and won. Three years later,
the Detroit Red Wings rallied
froma 3-0 deficit to tie the series,
but they lost Game 7 to Toronto.
The Kings havent played terri-
bly in losing the last two games,
but the Devils have made the
plays when it counted or gotten
the breaks when they needed
them.
Take Salvadors winner, his first
goal insevengames. Hisshot from
the left point was deflected right
in front of Quick, hit off the chest
of Kings defenseman Slava Voy-
nov and rebounded into the net at
9:05 of the second period. It was
the second time in this series that
a point shot by a Devils defense-
man hit off Voynov and caromed
past his goaltender.
This one turnedout tobe a win-
ner becauseBrodeur stoodtall the
rest of the way and had one shot
hit off the goalpost and had a goal
by Jarret Stoll on a second-period
power play waved off because he
hit the rebound with his stick too
high.
Brodeurs biggest save might
have been with 7.6 seconds to go
in regulation when he stopped a
slap shot by Mike Richards from
the right circle.
The Kings, overtime winners in
the first twogames inthe series in
New Jersey, never got another
shot and Brodeur took a patented
victory swig of the Gatorade bot-
tleontopof his net, as hehas done
for 18 years.
However, there was no over-
whelming celebration from the
home team. Slaps on the pads, a
few head nods, then it was off to
the locker room.
The Kings meanwhile, heads
down, made a bee line for their
locker room.
As the crowd filed out, again to
the 1984 Bruce Springsteen hit,
Glory Days, the chants of Mar-
tee! Mar-tee! were loud and long.
The Kings seemingly had the
territorial advantage in the open-
ing period but they also made the
biggest mistake.
With Willie Mitchell serving
the final 20 seconds of a penalty
for interference, Quick played a
puckinfront of his net andtriedto
sendit aroundthenet intothecor-
ner. The puck slid off his stick,
went around the net and barely
made it to the right edge of the
crease.
Parise, who had not scored in
five games, darted to the edge of
the net and stuffed it home a split
second before Quick could cover
the corner of the net.

Game 5 of the
Stanley Cup final
Saturday in
Newark, N.J.
WhenHeat President Pat Riley
was shown on the giant overhead
video screen in the moments just
after the final buzzer, the crowd
screamed. Riley finally acknowl-
edged them with some claps, be-
fore the 2012 Eastern Conference
champions logo was shown as
players below the scoreboard
high-fived and hugged, all wear-
ingthe newT-shirts andcaps that
marked the accomplishment.
The screams kept coming, first
when Alonzo Mourning took the
microphone We still got a lot
of work to do, Mourning said
and then again when he handed
the trophy to Heat owner Micky
Arison.
A roller-coaster ride, Arison
said.
Aroller-coaster game, too. In a
roller-coaster season.
All worthit for now, anyway.
The next step awaits, another
shot at the finals. In a champion-
ship-or-bust season, the Heat
board a plane for Oklahoma City
on Sunday.
We have been through a lot,
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
Down by seven at the half and
eight early in the third quarter,
Miami started clawing back. An
8-0 run tied it at 59-all, capped by
Wade hitting a jumper, and then
the fun really started.
There were six lead changes
and five more ties in the final 7
minutes of the third. Bosh scored
with29 seconds left for the last of
those ties, and it was 73-all going
into the fourth.
Six games decided nothing,
and nothing was decided in
Game 7 until the very last mo-
ments, neither team yielding
much of anything. Battiers 3-
pointer with 8:06 left in the third
cut Bostons lead at the time to
59-57.
And back and forth they went.
For the next 13 minutes, a span
of 46 dizzying, unbelievable pos-
sessions, neither team led by
more than two points.
That finally changed when
Bosh his third 3-pointer with 7:17
left. James made a runner on the
next Miami trip, and suddenly
the Heat had their biggest lead of
the night tothat point, 88-82with
6:54 remaining.
They were on their way.
Hewas bigtimeeveryshot,
every defensive play, every re-
bound we missed him, James
said of Bosh. Were just happy to
have himbackat the right time. If
it wasnt for him and the rest of
the guys that stepped up, we
dont win this game.
James made a 3-pointer it
went into the books as a 30-foot-
er, as he leaped from atop one of
the Eastern Conference finals
stickers on the floor as the
shot clock was expiring with just
under 6 minutes left, making it
91-84. Even mistakes were going
Miamis way, as James lost a be-
hind-the-back dribble, only to
have the ball skip right into Bat-
tiers hands.
Bosh scored from inside the
lanetoendthat possession. Wade
scored on the next one, the lead
was 95-86 with 3:23 left, Boston
called time and the building was
simply rocking. James did plenty
of talking on the Heat bench in
that stoppage, clearly saying the
word Finish at one point.
They listened. A three-point
play by Wade with2:53left all but
sealed it, the Heat were up 12,
and Oklahoma City beckoned.
Brandon Bass scored 16, Ray
Allen finished with 15 and Kevin
Garnett scored14 for the Celtics,
who know next season could
bring big changes.

SEATTLE Still giddy from
one unlikely no-hitter, Seattle
catcher Jesus Montero went
around the clubhouse on Satur-
day searching for autographs.
Montero printed pictures of
the six pitchers involved in Fri-
days combined 1-0 no-hitter
against the Los Angeles Dodgers,
plus a couple shots of the on-field
celebration. He handed out the
photos with a Sharpie and asked
for a signature, the phrase no-
hitter and the date.
The rookie catcher turned to
scrapbooking to chronicle the
surprising gem.
(I) wanted themto sign it and
remember this day, Montero
said. Last night was so special
for me, I want to remember that.
When I get to be old, really old,
Ill remember then.
Montero was the one constant
in the 10th combined no-hitter in
major league history. Kevin Mill-
wood started the game, then was
followed by a parade of relievers
after injuring his groin and com-
ing out after the sixth inning.
Millwood had an MRI, but the
results were not known prior to
Saturdays game against Los An-
geles.
The Hall of Fame requested
three items from the no-hitter: a
ball signed by all six pitchers,
Millwoods cap, and a public rela-
tions employees scorecard.
New closer Tom Wilhelmsen
has the ball from the final out.
Hes not sure what to do with it,
considering six pitchers Mill-
wood, Charlie Furbush, Stephen
Pryor, Lucas Luetge, Brandon
League and Wilhelmsen were
involved.
Its in a safe place for now,
Wilhelmsen said. I have asked a
couple of folks what the right
thing to do is, and I will continue
to ask until I find the answer I
want to hear.
Wilhelmsens joking aside,
what happened Friday was quite
the accomplishment. The Dodg-
ers have the best record in base-
ball andthe sixpitchers that com-
bined for the no-hitter made the
feat even more unlikely.
The 37-year-old Millwood is in
his 16th season. He got off to a
rough start this year, putting his
rotation spot in jeopardy, but has
rebounded of late. The right-
hander is 3-1 with a 1.46 ERA in
his last six starts, lowering his
ERA for the year to 3.57. Oppo-

right shoulder that needed sur-
gery, putting her tennis future
suddenly in doubt, Maria Shara-
pova decided to use the free time
to study a new language, the one
spoken at the only Grand Slam
tournament she had yet to win.
I foundaFrenchschool closeto
myhouse, sherecalled, andI did
private lessons every single day
for three months.
Sharapova cut short thoseclass-
es when it was time to begin the
slow, painful rehab process and
get her shoulder back in shape.
About 3
1
2 years later, on Saturday
at Roland Garros, Sharapova put
all of that hard work to good use
on the most important clay court
there is and even trotted out a
little French during the victory
speechsheoftenwonderedif shed
ever get a chance to deliver.
Whipping big serves with that
rebuilt shoulder, putting fore-
hands and backhands right on
lines, andevenmovingwell onthe
red surface she once worried
made her look like a cowon ice,
Sharapova beat surprise finalist
Sara Errani of Italy 6-3, 6-2 to win
her first French Open title and be-
come the 10th woman with a ca-
reer Grand Slam.
Its a wonderful moment in my
career, the 25-year-old Sharapova
told the crowd in French, before
switching to English to add: Im
really speechless. Its been such a
journey for me to get to this
stage.
Truly has.
Somuchcame soeasily for Sha-
rapova at the start: Wimbledon
champion at age 17; No. 1 in the
rankings at 18; U.S. Open cham-
pion at 19; Australian Open cham-
pion at 20. But a shoulder oper-
ationinOctober 2008madeevery-
thing tougher. She didnt play sin-
gles from August 2008 until the
following May, when her ranking
fell to 126th.
It wasnt getting better as soon
aseveryonethought it would, she
said about her shoulder. That
was the frustrating thing, because
it was like, When is this going to
end?
It took until her 10th post-sur-
gery Grand Slam tournament for
Sharapova to get back to a major
final, at Wimbledon last July, but
she lost. She alsoreachedthe Aus-
tralianOpenfinal this January, but
lost again.
Really, though, theres some-
thing apropos about Sharapovas
fourth career Grand Slam title
and first since her shoulder was
fixedcominginParis, rounding
out the quartet at a spot that al-
ways seemed to present the most
difficulties. Her powerful shots
lose some sting on clay, and the
footing can be tricky for anyone
who didnt grow up on the rust-
colored stuff.
Aglobal celebrity with millions
upon millions of dollars in endor-
sement deals, Sharapova put her-
self through the grind required to
get back to the top of her sport
and to get better than ever on red
clay.
Shesunbeatenin16matcheson
it this season, including titles at
Stuttgart and Rome.
I could have said, I dont need
this. I have money; I have fame; I
have victories; I have Grand
Slams. But when your love for
something is bigger than all those
things, you continue to keep get-
ting up in the morning when its
freezing outside, when you know
that it can be the most difficult
day, when nothing is working,
whenyoufeel like the belief some-
times isnt there from the outside
world, and you seem so small,
saidSharapova, whowill returnto
No. 1 for the first time since June
2008 in Mondays WTA rankings.
But you can achieve great things
when you dont listen to all those
things.
Errani, for her part, never paid
attention to those who said a
5-foot-4
1
2 womancouldnt possibly
compete against the very best in
tennis. Posingat thenet beforethe
match, the 6-foot-2 Sharapova to-
wered over her opponent then
was head-and-shoulders above Er-
rani when play began, too.

PARIS Novak Djokovic has
won 27 matches in a row at
Grand Slam tournaments. If he
can make that 28 by beating
Rafael Nadal in Sundays French
Open final, Djokovic will earn a
fourth consecutive major title,
something no man has accom-
plished since 1969.
Tough to imagine someone so
close to such a historic achieve-
ment being an underdog, yet
thats exactly the case for Djo-
kovic.
Even the 25-year-old Serb says
so.
You can say that hes a favor-
ite, definitely, Djokovic conced-
ed.
Really? Even though Djokovic
beat Nadal in each of the past
three Grand Slam finals?
Well, yes. Because as good as
Djokovic is on all surfaces and
in all settings at the moment, no
one ever has been as good as
Nadal is on the red clay of Ro-
land Garros. Set aside that Na-
dal owns 10 Grand Slam titles
overall, twice as many as Djo-
kovic, and simply consider the
26-year-old Spaniards superb
French Open bona fides.
While Djokovic hopes to
complete a Novak Slam
only two other men in the cen-
tury-plus annals of tennis have
been the reigning champion at
all four Grand Slam tourna-
ments simultaneously Nadal
seeks his record seventh trophy
at the French Open. Only Nadal
and Bjorn Borg have won the
title six times.
All told, Nadal is 51-1 at his
favorite tournament, including
3-0 against Djokovic, whos
never before reached the final in
Paris.
He has lost, what, two
matches in his career here?
Djokovic asked during a news
conference after eliminating
16-time Grand Slam champion
Roger Federer in the semifinals.

It is possible Berwick will be
in the market for a head football
coach in the coming days.
Gary Campbell, who spent
the past six seasons leading the
Bulldogs, is reportedly a finalist
tobe namedheadcoachandath-
letic director at Wahconah Re-
gional in Dalton, Mass., the
school where the 41-year-old
coached before coming to Penn-
sylvania.
News broke Saturday morn-
ing that Campbell has resigned
his post at Berwick, according
to a handful of web sites that re-
port on high school sports.
Berwick athletic director Tim
Honeywell refuted their stories.
He has not tendered a resig-
nation at this time, Honeywell
said. He is still with Berwick.
Also, several sources saidthat
Campbell was in charge of team
members Saturday at a lifting
competition held at Northwest.
The Central Berkshire Re-
gional School District has set its
next school board meeting at
Wahconah on Thursday at 7
p.m.
Campbell is 46-25 in his six
seasons leading the Bulldogs,
having taken over the program
fromthe legendary George Cur-
ry, who, for comparison, was 40-
24-1 in his first six years at Ber-
wick. Campbell won a District 2
Class 3A title in 2008 and an
Eastern Conference crown in
2011, and has a 7-4 postseason
record with the Bulldogs.
Soon after the EC champion-
ship in December, the Berwick
school board explored opening
Campbells position. The board
chose to retain Campbell and
freshman coach Scott Dennis,
who had reportedly been dis-
missed.
Actionstartedafter a meeting
of the Berwick Athletic Com-
mittee earlier
the same day
of the Decem-
ber board
meeting.
School board
member Lori
Dennis,
Scotts wife,
and a teacher and coach in the
Greater Nanticoke School Dis-
trict, is on the committee.
Berwick superintendent
Wayne Brookhart pointed to
Campbells turnaround of this
years teamas reason enough he
should return as head football
coach. The Bulldogs began the
year 1-3 before winning eight
consecutive games to capture
the Eastern Conference cham-
pionship. "From my position,
anyone whostarts1-3andrallies
the troops to win eight in a row,
shouldnt be let go," Brookhart
said in December. "Also, we
were 7-3 this year and that al-
most always gets you into dis-
tricts."
If Campbell does leave Ber-
wick -- one of the nations win-
ningest programs -- he will do so
fourth on the schools career
wins list, trailing Curry (362-
74-3 from 1971-2005), Junie
Bream (54-28-8 from 1928-37)
and Joe Coviello (48-14-1 from
1938-42).
Gary did have high hopes for
this year, Honeywell said. If he
goes that route, I wish himwell.
Hes going to be a loss for us.
Honeywell couldnot sayif the
next head coach would simply
be promoted fromwithin, or if a
search for someone outside the
program would take place if
Campbell departs.
Well have to advertise the
position, Honeywell said. We
have some long-time assistants
who will continue the summer
program. Andy Mihaly has been
here 30 years. Keith Seely
Mike Bennett, they will contin-
ue working with the players.
But thats once it happens.
Nothing has happened yet.
Campbell could not be reac-
hed for comment.

TORONTO Tyler Johnson
and Mike Kostka each scored
twice and the Norfolk Admirals
won their first Calder Cup title,
beating the Toronto Marlies 6-1
on Saturday to sweep the Amer-
ican Hockey League final.
We played hard, got the
bounces and its just unbelieva-
ble to finish it out this way,
Johnson said.
Richard Panik and Pierre-Ce-
dric Labrie also scored, Johnson
added two assists, and Cory Co-
nacher had four assists. Dustin
Tokarski stopped 18 shots.
The guys got so much char-
acter, heart, discipline and pas-
sion for the game, said Tokar-
ski, who finished the playoffs
with a 1.46 goals-against aver-
age, a .944 save percentage and
three shutouts. Its been a won-
derful year. Im lucky to be on
this team.
Mike Zigomanis scored for
Toronto.
The Admirals are the Tampa
Bay Lightnings top affiliate.
The Marlies are the Toronto
Maple Leafs farm club.
Its not by accident Norfolk
won all these games in a row,
Marlies coach Dallas Eakins
said. That is an excellent team
that is not only skilled, but they
check well and theyre healthy.
Alex Picard scored only six
goals in 42 regular season
games, then had nine in 18
games during the playoffs to
take home playoff MVP honors.
Theres no words for it, Pi-
card said. Its just a great group
of guys and weve been playing
for this all season. Its just a
dream come true.

A
boat accident on Oneida Lake
in New York earlier this year
almost put an end to a local bass
fishing tradition in Luzerne County.
The accident occurred during a bass
tournament hosted by PA Basscasters.
One of the victims of the accidents
attempted to sue tournament director
Joe Kosloski, who is from Plymouth,
because his club held the tournament.
The lawsuit faded away, but it lasted
long enough to send a scare through
the local bass tournament community.
It was enough to make RJ Marine
owner Bob Makaravage put an end to
his Wednesday night tournament on
Harveys Lake an event that has an-
nually been one of the most popular in
the area for the last five years.
Makaravage said he has insurance to
cover such incidents, but if something
did happen it wouldve forced his rates
to go up.
Its a shame. I didnt make anything
on the tournament, I did it to keep
that opportunity going for anglers,
Makaravage said.
The Wednesday night tournament
attracted an average of 65 anglers each
week, Makaravage said, and more than
100 participated at some point in the
summer.
Bass tournaments at Harveys Lake
have always been popular, dating back
to the Thursday night events that
Warren Gensel ran from 2000-07. Its a
perfect place for a tournament. A
large, paved public boat launch pro-
vides plenty of access and the states
largest natural lake is home to a thriv-
ing smallmouth and largemouth bass
fishery.
But with the start of bass season less
than a week away, it wasnt looking
good for the Harveys Lake tournament
tradition.
Saving the day
There would be no more swarms of
bass boats launching onto the water
every Wednesday evening, and the
excitement of the 9 p.m. weigh-ins
under the lights would be a thing of
the past.
Even worse, the 60-plus anglers who
relished the combination of bass fish-
ing and competition would now have
to take their boats elsewhere.
At least thats how it appeared until
John Niezgoda just couldnt bear the
thought of not having tournament on
Harveys Lake this summer.
Niezgoda has been fishing bass tour-
naments on Harveys Lake and other
waterways in the northeast for 10
years. The Dallas resident fished the
lake tournament loyally, every Wednes-
day night, and developed a strong
passion for not only the competition,
but the comraderie that is a main part
of the Harveys Lake event.
I just couldnt see this go away,
Niezgoda said. A lot of guys didnt
want to see this tournament disappear.
Its a tradition, its affordable and it
gives anglers something to do in the
middle of the week.
All are valid reasons for keeping the
tournament going.
But what about the risk of a lawsuit
should an accident occur?
Niezgoda said he will get insurance
for the tournament in addition to hav-
ing all anglers sign a waiver releasing
him and his partner, Duke Bally, from
responsibility.
Still, its a shame that simple, good-
time event like a catch-and-release
bass tournament has become caught in
the messy web of lawsuits and insur-
ance.
Niezgoda feels that the threat of a
lawsuit and the cost of insurance will
put an end to some bass fishing clubs.
Its going to affect a lot of clubs and
some of the smaller ones might go
obsolete because theyre not going to
want to spend the money on insur-
ance, Niezgoda said. Its just the age
that were in, I guess.

to visit and play the raffles before
dinner. Once again this year sever-
al guns will be auctioned, including
a Milnium .40 cal., a Mossberg

Story
update
The opening day of bass season has
become paralleled with the start of
something else in recent years: the
beginning of the bass tournament
season in the area.
Several clubs host bass tournaments
during the summer in virtually every
public waterway that is home to small-
mouth and/or largemouth bass. Places
such as Harveys Lake, Lake Jean and
the Susquehanna River to name a few.
And they all carry a lucrative cash
prize, giving anglers an added incen-
tive.
Perhaps the most lucrative tourna-
ment, when it comes to cash awards,
is the open buddy event held by the
Columbia County Bassmasters on
June 23-34 on the Susquehanna River.
The tournament, now in its third year,
is based at the boat launch at the Ber-
wick Test Track and 42 miles of river
from Nanticoke to Danville, are eligi-
ble for the event, giving anglers plenty
of room to spread out.
Like most tournaments the format is
simple the heaviest fish wins. But in
this tournament, that means $5,000
for first place and a total of $12,500
paid out for the top-nine finishers. The
prize money is funded by the Colum-
bia County Tourism fund and the
top-50 finishers from the first day go
on to compete for the cash prizes on
Sunday.
And theres more. A $500 lunker
prize is awarded each day, a $100 prize
is handed out to the child bringing in
the heaviest fish plus gift certificates
for the second heaviest fish each day.
It costs $140 per boat, which is two
anglers, to enter the tournament,
which isnt bad for a chance to win the
kind of money were putting out,
tournament director Chuck Monico
said.
But theres more than money that
draws people to the tournament. The
Columbia County Bassmasters partner
with the Columbia/Montour Visitors
Bureau and Berwick Borough to hold a
Family Fun Festival in conjunction
with the tournament. The festival,
which is also located at the Test Track
Park, features food, entertainment,
prizes and train rides to Lime Ridge
and back.
One of the highlights of the festival
is the daily weigh-in at the boat
launch, which gives people a chance to
see what anglers are catching in the
river.
We try to bring the two events
together and it is unique. The festival
gives the public something to do while
the guys are fishing and theyre wait-
ing for the weigh-in, said Ingrid Pod-
gurski, director of marketing for the
visitors bureau. It all ties into getting
kids interested in fishing and the out-
doors.
The tournament itself also takes
steps to make sure that the fishery
isnt impacted. Monico said theres a
minimum size limit of 15 inches,
which reduces stress on the smaller,
more numerous bass in the river, and
all fish caught are released back
through the entire stretch via two
aerated tanker trucks.
Basically were re-stocking the fish
and spreading them out, Monico said.
Still, the weekend event hasnt been
without challenges during the first two
years. The first year drew 83 boats,
while last year the number dipped to
54. Podgurski said rain has hampered
previous turnouts, and fluctuating
river levels have jeopardized the tour-
nament.
We have tons of interest in it, but
we often dont know until last minute
if well have the anglers because they
wait to see what the river is going to
do, Podgurski said.
Monico said locals have been catch-
ing and releasing bass in the 3- to
4-pound range, but last years flood did
change the makeup of the river in
places.
Podgurski added there is talk that
funding for the tournament will be cut
next year, making it self reliant. If that
happens, Monico said his club will
probably take it on, but the prize mon-
ey may be reduced.
Regardless, Monico and Podgurski
are both optimistic that the joint event
will continue and evolve into a tradi-
tion linking the community and bass
anglers.
This really gives a lot of people an
opportunity to see whats in the river
and how well its doing, Monico said.
You dont have to go out of the area to
find some of the best bass fishing.
With tournament season upon us, this is the time to hit some
of the local events and try to claim some prize money

Fishing license sales are up 11 percent
from last year, according to the Penn-
sylvania Fish and Boat Commission. As a
result, the agency is expecting a surge in
activity when bass season opens on
Saturday, June 16.
Through June 4, anglers had purchased
683,031 licenses, an increase of 67,389
from the same time last year.
Were very happy that license sales have
continued to increase, PFBC executive
director John Arway said. Bass are
already one of the most popular sportfish
targeted by anglers. Because last year
was unseasonably cool and wet, we think
anglers are even more anxious to get out
this year and make up for last years lost
days.
The season runs to Oct. 31 for lakes and
Sept. 30 for rivers and streams. Minimum
size is 12 inches with a creel limit of six.

release waterways and other regulation
changes, visit www.fish.state.pa.us.

LVIV, Ukraine Moments
before he was supposed to leave
the game, Mario Gomez headed
in the winning goal for Germa-
ny.
The Bayern Munich striker
made a surprise start Saturday
against Portugal at the Europe-
an Championship and knocked
in a deflected cross from Sami
Khedira in the 72nd minute to
give the Germans a 1-0 victory
in Group B.
Gomez, who had created little
before the goal, was due to be
replaced by Miroslav Klose, who
was already waiting on the tou-
chline on his 34th birthday. And
Gomez nearly scored another
goal before Klose came on in
80th.
I have two successful seasons
behind me but it was a hard
road for me, Gomez said about
usually being second choice to
Klose. I am very happy that the
coach had confidence in me and
with the goal I could pay some-
thing back.
The ball was deflected and
landed exactly on the front of
my head. It wasnt that diffi-
cult.
Despite indicating before the
match that he would start the
veteran Klose as striker, Germa-
ny coach Joachim Loew went
with Gomez.
Clearly, Miroslav was going
to come in at that moment, but
Mario scored the goal then,
Loew said. We waited a few
more minutes.
Gomez was the Bundesligas
top scorer over the past two
seasons and had 12 goals in the
Champions League this season
to help Bayern Munich reach
the final, where it lost to Chel-
sea on penalties.
Germany was the better team
Saturday, but found it hard to
break down a defensive Portu-
gal. The Germans, seeking their
first title since 1996, are consid-
ered one of the favorites of the
tournament despite being in the
toughest group along with the
Netherlands and Denmark.
Denmark 1, Netherlands 0
KHARKIV, Ukraine Den-
mark secured the first huge
surprise of the European Cham-
pionship with a 1-0 victory over
the Netherlands on Saturday in
Group B.
And it was Michael Krohn-
Dehli that provided the lethal
finishing that the Dutch in-
explicably lacked.
Krohn-Dehli scored against
the run of play when he picked
up a loose ball close to the pen-
alty area in the 24th minute, left
two defenders standing and shot
through the legs of Maarten
Stekelenburg from a tight angle.
It was something Premier
League top scorer Robin van
Persie never got close to as he
came to symbolize Dutch futil-
ity with a couple of bad mis-
takes. Denmark goalkeeper
Stephan Andersen made several
clutch saves to secure the most
important Danish victory over
the Netherlands since the Euro
1992 semifinals.
It was the only dangerous
action of Denmark, Dutch
captain Mark van Bommel com-
plained. Im speechless, be-
cause these 3 points are very
important.
The Dutch had their best
chance of the match when An-
dersen gave away the ball to
Arjen Robben just outside the
area in the 36th minute, but the
Bayern Munich winger curled
his left-footer onto the far post
and out of danger.
Five of us had chances, once
we hit the post, so many good
opportunities, said Van Bom-
mel.
The frustration came to sym-
bolize the sticky night in eastern
Ukraine and leaves the World
Cup runners-up with two clutch
games against top-10 ranked
teams, Germany and Portugal.
Late in the match, a penalty
appeal for handball was denied
when the Dutch were running
out of time as Lars Jacobsen
appeared to touch the ball with
his upper arm in the box.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Ample moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will continue to flow into the Deep
South and Tennessee Valley today leading to numerous thunderstorms and locally heavy rainfall in
those regions. Meanwhile, a low pressure system will trigger showers and thunderstorms over the
northern Plains and Upper Midwest; a few of these storms may be severe.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N D
timesleader.com
T
he drumbeat of news from the
financial sector has been consis-
tent the past few years. JP Mor-
gan embarrassed by a $2 billion trading
loss in sophisticated investments;
Bank of America struggling under the
weight of a diseased mortgage portfolio
left from its 2008 acquisition of Coun-
trywide; AIG still majority-owned by
taxpayers who bailed it out.
Its enough to make the title bank-
er on par with bank robber in many
peoples minds.
The executives who run these too-
big-to-fail institutions complain now
and then about being mischaracterized,
but mostly they quietly go about their
business, pocketing millions in salaries
and bonuses in good years and bad,
seeming never to suffer while their
customers watch their savings shrink
and taxpayers kick in billions for bai-
louts.
Bob Snyder, president of Luzerne
Bank, feels the sting of being lumped
in with the bad actors of banking.
Unfortunately through this reces-
sion and bailout of huge banks it seems
all banks got painted by the same
broad brush, he said. And as depos-
itors have suffered with artificially low
interest payments in recent years,
small banks that did nothing wrong are
paying higher fees to regulators, cut-
ting into profits that would otherwise
be invested in their communities.
Most of us accept the need to stabi-
lize the system; we just question if the
burden is being shared consistently.
How deeply does the cynicism run?
As a doctors visit wound down earlier
this week the conversation turned to
the economy. My physician, a high-
level specialist who, Im sure, is well-
compensated, expressed his concern
that for big banks, profits are private
but bailouts are public. That is, giant
financial institutions enjoy the rewards
of success but are shielded from appro-
priate penalties for failure.
Think about it executives of ma-
jor banks can make tens of millions a
year in good times and a little less in
bad. None have been indicted or even
pursued for their firms losses, except
in a weak clawback of some bonuses.
But is making $10 million a year in-
stead of $20 million a hardship or a
slap on the wrist?
One phrase being tossed around
these days is too big to manage, as in
the half dozen or so major financial
institutions like JP Morgan that have
their fingers in an international stew of
investments they may not really under-
stand.
My late father-in-law, a staff auditor
at banks in Connecticut, cautioned
against that decades before the finan-
cial collapse of 2008. Bankers didnt
know how to handle risk, he warned,
eerily predicting the post-mortems on
JP Morgans costly fiasco.
Thats why its refreshing to talk to
someone like Bob Snyder. Heres his
description of Luzerne Bank: We ac-
cept deposits, we make loans.
Or as Matt Prosseda, president of
First Keystone Community Bank put it,
we make our money on the spread
between the rate paid to depositors and
whats charged to borrowers.
Thats the way it was for decades,
even at big banks. No synthetic deriv-
atives, no currency swaps, no bets on
the direction of oil prices.
Big banks arent inherently evil and
they are needed in a global economy.
But its hard to see their risky invest-
ments often bets against the com-
mon good as a benefit to anyone but
their executives and shareholders.
Community banks have been the
economic pillars of their communities,
Snyder says with more than a little
pride.
One has to wonder if the world econ-
omy would be better off if big financial
institutions saw their role the same
way.

ITS GRADUATION
TIME and Fathers
Day is just around the
corner, so that means
gift card deals for
grads and dads.
Plenty of places are
offering bonus gift cards with the
purchase of gift cards. Among them:
Quaker Steak and Lube, which
has locations in Bloomsburg and
Dickson City, will give those purchas-
ing a $25 gift card a $5 bonus gift
card and a $5-off -$25 offer valid on
Fathers Day, June 17.
Buy $50 in gift cards at Outback
Steakhouse and it will toss in a free
$10 Bonus Card for you.
Applebees restaurants are of-
fering a $10 bonus card with each $50
purchase of gift cards through June
24. You have until July 8 to use the
card.
T.G.I Fridays is offering $5 bo-
nus cards with a $25 gift card pur-
chase or a $10 bonus card with a $50
gift card purchase. The deal runs
through June 17 and the bonus cards
are good through July.
Smokey Bones is giving $10 in
Bones Bucks with the purchase of a
$50 gift card. Speaking of the BBQ
joint in Wilkes-Barre Township, there
are coupons inside todays Times
Leader for $10 off a $20 purchase
good today through June 27 and an-
other good from June 28 through July
14.
Heres my suggestion if youre al-
ready planning on eating there. Go in,
head to the bar, buy a $50 gift card,
get the $10 bonus card, then be seat-
ed and use the $10 off coupon from
todays paper and pay with the gift
card. Youll still have the bonus card
to use at a later date.
Actually my suggestion extends to
most places doing these deals. Buy
the gift card before you eat then use
the gift card that same day and come
back with the bonus card.
In many instances the bonus cards
must be used within a few weeks and
in almost all cases they cannot be
used the day of purchase. Read the
terms and conditions of the deals
before you buy them.
Uno Chicago Grill, which has a
location in Dickson City, is honoring
all veterans and active military men
and women through Labor Day with
10 percent off their check. There is no
coupon required, simply show your
valid military or veteran ID. This
offer can not be combined with any
other offers or promotions and ex-
cludes alcohol.
Heres a nice offer from Bath &
Body Works for fans of their anti-
bacterial soap: Get five for $15 or
seven for $20. Theyre regularly up to
$5.50 each. There are some exclu-
sions, so ask the store for details.
This offer is good today and tomor-
row only and single items will be sold
at regular price.
Head to Weis, grab some Lysol
products, three to be exact. Plenty of
the cleaners are on sale two for $4.
Theres a $3 rebate form in todays
coupon inserts you can send in if you
buy three Lysol products. Get three at
Weis for $6 and get $3 back. That
comes out to $1 an item if you choose
wisely. Or is that Weisly?

Think changing jobs is difficult?
It can be even harder if youre a
baby boomer.
Although there are federal laws
against age discrimination, some em-
ployers may be reluctant to hire older
workers, concerned about how long
theyll stay and the higher salaries
they may demand.
But the traditional retirement age
of 65 is fading, just as the 77-million-
strong, baby-boom generation begins
hitting it. The idea of lifetime job
tenure, in which people stay in one
job for their entire career, is also dis-
appearing, and that can be good news
for those looking to make a move.
Companies that are more thinly
staffed than in the past may well be
looking for someone who can come
in and do the job, without needing a
lot of training or supervision, said
John Challenger, CEO of the out-
placement firm Challenger, Gray &
Christmas. Workers in their 50s or
older can bring that added value, he
said.
With the aging of the baby boom-
ers the generation born between
1946 and 1964 the percentage of
workers 55 and older in the labor
force is expected to jump from 19.5
percent in 2010 to 25.2 percent by
2020, according to the Bureau of La-
bor Statistics.
For those contemplating new jobs,
Challenger said its easier to change
industries than to change functions.
If youre a salesperson in a profes-
sional services firm, you can go do
that in a banking organization, he
said, as an example.
Thats also important if youre try-
ing to maintain the same level of in-
Boomers experience can be an asset

But this year, workers are harder to
come by.
I could use 30 men, Steward said.
Well get er done, but I cant find any-
body.
Growers throughout Californias
fertile Central Valley are wringing
their hands as they struggle tofindthe
manpower they need.
Anti-immigration laws and policies,
anagingpopulation, andevena raging
drug war south of the border all are
contributing to a slowdown in the
pipeline of Mexican workers that for
so long have fueled the farm industry,
experts say.
Were just not seeingthe number of
people we (usually) see this time of
year, said Bryan Little, director of
farm labor affairs at the California
Farm Bureau Federation.
Steward, president of theSacramen-
to County Farm Bureau, said he has
only a fractionof the 40 workers he de-
pends on to tend the 1,000 acres of
vineyards he manages in Californias
Amador and San Joaquin counties.
Ive never seen it this bad, he said,
though hes heard that there are a lot
of good workers who are busy picking
cherries.
But cherry growers say their labor
situation is only marginally better.
I hopewhat weveseenis anaberra-
tion, Bruce Blodgett, executive direc-
tor of the San Joaquin County Farm
Bureau, said of the labor shortage.
California growers hope so, too.
Early crops such as asparagus, blue-
berries and cherries are in, but soon
will come more stone fruit, strawber-
ries andthe saladbowl crops -- carrots,
lettuce, mushrooms and peppers. All
of them are crops that need hands in
the soil.
California FarmBureau officials say
that as many as 225,000 workers toil
on the states farmland, a number that
typically grows to about 450,000 by
the heavy harvest season in Septem-
ber.

ENKINS TWP. Some companies make small
ripples in their business plans now and then. At
Natures Way Purewater Systems, changes this
year have been more like a tidal wave.
In the first half of 2012, the
company in the Grimes Industri-
al Park has signed an agreement
tobuymillions of gallons of water
from a spring in Lackawanna
County andinformedits first cus-
tomer, Wal-Mart Stores, that it
would no longer produce its
Great Value brand spring water.
And thats not even the big
news.
In March, the company signed
an agreement with Talking Rain,
a Washingtonstate-basedcompa-
ny that will make Natures Way
the East Coast bottler of its car-
bonated, zero-sugar water prod-
uct. The deal led to a $3 million
investment for equipment need-
ed to produce and bottle the bev-
erage and the hiring of up to 30
new employees, which will bring
the companys workforce to 80,
according to Dawn Dumas, hu-
manresources director. The com-
pany will nowuse150,000 square
feet of space, three times what it
did a decade ago when it opened.

Q: I supervise three technicians in a bu-
sy medical clinic. These employees re-
cently complained to management that I
belittle them, show them no respect, and
occasionally cause them to leave work in
tears. I was told that they greatly admire
my clinical skills, but findme to be intimi-
dating.
Mybosshassaidthat I must resolvethis
communication issue so the technicians
will feel comfortable bringing me their
problems. I need to knowhowto interact
with these employees in a way that does
not seemthreatening. By the way, none of
them has ever given me this feedback di-
rectly.
A: At theriskof statingtheobvious, em-
ployees who feel threatened by their boss
are unlikely to provide any face-to-face
criticism. Goingtoyourmanagerfelt likea
muchsafer way toexpress their concerns.
I assume that you have no desire to ter-
rorize the technicians, so you must lack a
fundamental understanding of what it
means to be a leader. In your current role,
relationshipskills arejust as important for
success as technical skills. Leadership is
all about motivating people to do their
best, but demeaning comments will only
motivate themto leave.
Tobeginbuildingbridgeswithyourem-
ployees, meet with each one individually,
explain your desire to become a better su-
pervisor, and ask how you can be more
helpful and supportive.
Q: On our recent appraisals, everyone
on my team received a lower rating than
last year, despite the fact that our level of
performance hasnt changed at all. We
have always gotten good reviews in the
past, so this is very troubling. Several
months ago, our company was acquired,
topmanagement was replaced, anda new
appraisal systemwas implemented. But I
dont see why this would reduce our rat-
ings. What do you make of it?
A: Unfortunately, youhavenowlearned
the hard way that many factors can influ-
ence performance appraisal scores. Given
yourcompanysrecent history, thesudden
ratings decline is undoubtedly being dri-
ven by a shift in management policies or
expectations.
If this phenomenonis widespread, with
many people receiving lower scores, the
companymaybetryingtocorrect acaseof
ratings creep, which occurs when man-
agers bestow high marks too freely. The
common fix for this problemis to restrict
higher ratings to a certain percentage of
employees.
But if other groups havenot beendown-
graded, then the newexecutives are prob-
ablydissatisfiedwithyourteamsperform-
ance. Expectations often change radically
when a company is acquired, so your pre-
viously acceptable results may now be
considered insufficient.
Of course, management ought to have
warned employees about any change that
could affect performance reviews. But
since they failed to do so, you should take
theinitiativetoaskyour bossor humanre-
sources manager why the ratings were
lowered and howthey can be improved.

ing signs as early as last years grape
harvest when a late season stretched
the labor supply to the limit, said Gua-
dalupe Sandoval, managing director of
the Sacramento-based California Farm
Labor Contractor Association.
Things didnt ripen until late so ev-
erybody needed workers at the same
time, Sandoval said. There werent
enough crews out there. That was our
canary in the coal mine.
Reasons for thebrakeonMexicanim-
migrant labor are many.
Prices asked by the coyotes who
smuggleworkers across theborder con-
tinue to rise as high as $7,500, Sand-
oval is told. And, he said, Theres no
guarantee of getting across. The
coyotes may take your money. Maybe
your life, as well.
Jeff Passel, a senior demographer at
the Pew Hispanic Center in Washing-
ton, D.C., said surveys tracking the
Mexican labor force showa huge drop
in the number of people setting out
from Mexico. Its not surprising that
thats having an effect on agriculture.
Mexicos demographics are chang-
ing, too, said Little, of the California
Farm Bureau Federation.
Families are getting smaller and the
populationis aging, shrinkingthe num-
ber of workers crossing the border to
follow the crops, Little said.
That gigantic overlay of young peo-
ple inthe1970s and1980s it just isnt
there anymore, he said.
SHORTAGE
Continued fromPage 1D
Insalaco Sr. will slowdownandbe satis-
fied with the companys growth.
Hes working on a contract with an-
other national beverage company that
could also mean big bucks and more
work for his business, though he de-
clined to give the companys name. It
will not be a soda-making operation, In-
salaco said.
Water is the way
Theres quite a push to get everybo-
dy off carbonated sugar beverages, he
said, referencing the proposal by New
YorkMayor Michael Bloombergtolimit
sugary soft drinks to no larger than 16
ounces. Insalaco said the tide is turning
away from soda.
We dont want todosoda. The indus-
trys getting away from soda. Its the
wrong direction, said Insalaco, 72, of
Jenkins Township.
The new product his company will
produce for Talking Rain is unreal. It
fills that void, Insalaco said.
He said water is where its at. Specifi-
cally, enhanced water, water infused
with fish oil, sugar-free water, mineral
waters and flavored waters, though old
fashioned spring water tastes and sells
just as good.
When he opened the business a dec-
ade ago, Insalaco employed eight and
used about 50,000 square feet of space.
On board came Wal-Mart and Sams
Club, soon followed by Starbucks. One
by one more companies contracted
with Natures Way. But it wasnt an easy
climb.
You dont get big accounts until you
establish yourself. And you dont estab-
lish yourself without a big account, In-
salaco said. Its a Catch-22.
Today, Insalaco believes he and his
company have established themselves.
As the largest water-beverage maker in
the Northeast, he said the companys
success starts with the employees and
their hard work.
The company began with purchased
water from a spring in White Haven,
eventually buying the spring outright.
This year it struck a deal with Lacka-
wanna Collegetopurchasewater froma
spring on college-owned property in
Covington Township, near Daleville.
The money Natures Way pays for the
water will go toward the colleges envi-
ronmental education center on that
property.
Looking forward, Insalaco believes
the springs the company uses have ca-
pacity to provide the millions of gallons
the company will need as it grows.
Asked how much water the company
uses each year, Insalaco thought about
it and could only come up with a lot.
Job growth
When the new contract was signed,
Insalaco envisioned the need for about
30 workers. Dumas said more than 300
applications were received in response
to help wanted ads. Among them were
two from former employees at Cinram
in Olyphant who lost their jobs in 2010
during a round of layoffs at the maker
and distributor of DVDs and CDs and
have been unemployed since.
Faith Morgan, 49, and Sandra Shrad-
er, 50, both of Scranton, worked at Cin-
ram for more than two decades. They
remained friends and both applied
when they saw the ads. For Morgan, it
was one of nearly 100 ads shes respon-
dedtointhe past twoyears. But she was
hopeful.
They were both hired and started last
week, working four 10-hour days on late
night/early morning shifts.
And theyre both thrilled and excited
to not only have jobs but to be working
together so they can car pool. Plus,
Shrader noted, the company is grow-
ing, which is completely the opposite of
what every other company is doing.
Insalaco, who repeatedly credited his
employees with the success of the com-
panyandits growth, saidheenjoys com-
ing to work each day and seeing the
process of turning ingredients into pal-
lets full of water bottles of every shape,
size and color.
I like creating job opportunities for
people and seeing the business grow.
Its very rewarding, said Insalaco.

come. If you go to something brand
new, youre not going to hold income,
he said.
When writing resumes, boomers
should highlight their accomplish-
ments over the previous five or 10
years, even if it takes more than a sin-
gle page. And networking is critical,
he said. This is the time for baby
boomers to join civic, community,
charitable or other organizations, and
get to know new people. Its through
these relationships that people find
jobs, Challenger said.
When Barbara Brochstein, 60, of
Wantagh, N.Y., decided to begin a new
career as a special education teacher
10 years ago, it was a stretch from the
career in advertising that she left after
her children were born. But it was a
logical next step from the teachers
aide position she took when they were
teenagers, she said.
So she got a masters degree in edu-
cation at age 50 and was one of five
teachers hired together by the same
department. She was considerably ol-
der than the others.
It wasnt so much her age that wor-
ried her, she said, as it was that she
was doing something new. But looking
back 10 years later, You just have to
decide to do it. You come with a lot of
experience and a lot of knowledge.
Like other workers, many boomers
are looking for a job that gives them
room for growth, is challenging and
meaningful, Challenger said.
He said people shouldnt stay in a
position that makes them unhappy.
But what makes them unhappy isnt
always the type of work theyre doing.
Often when people look at it more
closely, its actually the people and the
culture of that organization, he said.
Marc Freedman, author of The Big
Shift: Navigating the New Stage Be-
yond Midlife, said boomers often will
switch careers to areas that have social
impact, including education and
health care.
In their 50s and 60s, peoples pri-
orities change, he said. They realize
that the road doesnt go on forever. I
think it causes a lot of people to re-
evaluate what kind of job they want to
do, what kind of life they want to
lead.

STILL SKEPTICAL
Financial analysts guessed too low
on companies first-quarter profits.
Unperturbed, theyre getting even
more conservative about their sec-
ond-quarter forecasts. Analysts ex-
pect S&P 500 companies to report
4 percent growth in second-quarter
earnings per share. Thats down
from their forecast of 7 percent
growth at the end of March. One
reason is the dropping price of oil.
After ending March at $103 per
barrel, crude lost $20 in about two
months on worries about weaker
demand. That means analysts ex-
pect energy companies earnings
per share to fall 16 percent, com-
pared with earlier forecasts for an
11 percent drop.
STILL OPTIMISTIC
The eighth-worst May in history
for the S&P 500 index has many
investors feeling gloomier. But
Barry Bannister, a strategist with
Stifel Nicolaus, is undaunted. On
May 29, he raised his year-end
forecast for the S&P 500 to
1,600 from 1,400. Over the next
three days, the S&P 500 tum-
bled 4 percent to 1,278. He nev-
ertheless is sticking with his
forecast, which would mean a
27 percent rise for 2012 and
the indexs best year since
1997. He expects investor opti-
mism to improve as Europe
moves to preserve the euro
and China offers more stim-
ulus to help its economy.

Stocks are certainly lower now than a month ago, so is it
time to buy? Not necessarily, says Scott Chronert, a small-

Its been rough going lately for in-
vestors in stocks of companies that
produce oil and gas, and extract re-
sources such as minerals, gold and
timber. Over the past 12 months,
losses of 20 to 30 percent have
been common for stock mutual
funds specializing in those indus-
tries. Theyve been hurt by reduced
expectations of global economic
growth, particularly in China. Neil
Gregson is a former mining engineer
who specializes in stocks of com-
modities and resource companies
globally. The London-based fund
manager explains his belief that
those segments offer strong long-
term investing opportunities.
Whats your assessment of the
investing environment now?
Ive been in the resource commodi-
ties and stocks space for well over
20 years, and theres never a sort of
Goldilocks period when everything is
just right. Things either blow hot or
cold. Now it feels sort of like sub-ze-
ro. This sector is the first stop when
investors panic, and want to get out.
There are plenty of things for people
to be negative about. If its not Eu-
rope, its China. If its not China, its
the U.S.
As a fund manager, has the re-
cent negativity made it difficult to
operate?
We are seeing money flow out. Not
sizable, just a dribble every day. To
buy something, we have to sell. If
everything is being sold off so ag-
gressively, everything looks cheap.
How should investors think about
resources and commodities
stocks?
In this segment, usually the best
time to invest is when it feels like the
worst time, and that may be now.
Overall, the sector is in fairly good
shape, in terms of balance sheets
and profit margins.
Whats one segment of the mar-
kets that you like?
Gold mining stocks. Relative to his-
tory, theyre extraordinarily cheap.
We invest with a 2- to 3-year hori-
zon. So its difficult, because the sit-
uation can change very quickly with
gold-mining stocks, depending on
the global economic outlook.
Whats another area of interest?
Oil and gas. Theres a lot happen-
ing globally on the exploration and
development side. Youve got the
fascinating situation in the U.S. with
the development of shale gas. I
think that has a long way to go,
both in the U.S. and Canada. And
there are also other countries ex-
ploring shale gas potential, like Chi-
na, Poland and Argentina. There al-
so have been a lot of recent discov-
eries of gas and oil fields offshore
from West Africa.
Whats one of your favorite cur-
rent stocks?
Fortescue Metals, an Australian iron
ore producer. There will be iron ore
supply issues globally for the next 4
to 5 years, and Fortescue is growing
its production significantly.

Your European fund
The European debt crisis is an
ocean away, yet it may have more
of an impact on your portfolio than
you think.
Thats because domestic stock
mutual funds have an average 3.6 percent
of their assets invested in European stocks
alone (even more in other parts of the world).
So you probably own some European
stocks, even
if you dont
invest in any
international
stock funds.
Consider
BBH Core Select
(BBTEX). Morning-
star classifies it as a U.S. large-cap blend stock
fund. Three of its six biggest holdings are European
stocks, or 13 percent of the portfolio.
If we look under the hood, we find companies like
Novartis and Diageo, says Shannon Zimmerman,
associate director of fund analysis at Morningstar. They
are domiciled abroad, but they have giant markets
in North America and the U.S. in particular.
Thats why you shouldnt panic.
Take Diageo. It is BBH Core Selects third-
largest holding, and is the liquor company
behind such brands as Johnnie Walker and Tan-
queray. Although its based in London, Diageo
generated 42 percent of its operating profit in
North America during the last six months
of 2011, more
than any other
region.
Many of
the European
companies
held by U.S.
stock funds are
listed in the U.S. Ingersoll Rand, for
example, is based in Ireland, but
its U.S.-listed shares are in the
Standard & Poors 500 index. So
S&P 500 index funds also own
European stocks.

Investors weary from the markets big swings should
consider their stocks beta. This measure shows how vol-
atile a stock is relative to the rest of the market.
Astock with a beta of less than 1.0 swings less than the
market, whereas a stock with a beta above 1.0 is more vol-
atile than the overall market.
Low-beta stocks tend to be from more staid industries,
such as utilities, and can seem boring to investors looking
for growth. But Nomura strategist Michael Kurtz highlights
several stocks that he calls growth defensives stocks
with low volatility but potential for big gains.
These stocks all have betas of 0.7 or less, but finan-
cial analysts expect earnings at each to grow more than
15 percent this year and next.
Dollar General, for example, is benefiting from shop-
pers looking for bargains, and the retailer said last week
that its first-quarter earnings per share rose 40 percent
from a year ago. Its stock has also risen steadily through
the year.

Mortgage rates drop even lower
Treasury yields remain low, dragging down rates
on everything from mortgage loans to certificates
of deposit. The average rate on a 30-year fixed
mortgage fell to 3.67 percent last week from 3.75
percent. It was the sixth week in a row that mort-
gage rates fell to a record, according to Freddie
Mac. A year ago, the average 30-year rate was
4.49 percent.

good use of debt as well, borrowing
to expand operations and grow their
businesses. And interest payments,
which are deductible, can decrease a
companys taxable income.
Investors considering companies
with debt need to evaluate whether
the debt taken on is manageable
and whether the money raised and
invested is earning more than it costs.
Perhaps youre worried about the
debt load of Typewriter Land Inc.
(ticker: QWERTY). Glance at the
notes in its annual report, and you
may find that the effective inter-
est rate for its debt is 5 percent. If
QWERTY is putting the borrowed
funds to work earning, say, 8 per-
cent, then things arent so bad. But
if QWERTY is generating $100
million in cash annually while
owing $200 million in annual inter-
est payments, thats a problem.
When companies need money,
they can typically issue more stock
or debt. Issuing stock may dilute the
value of existing shares, so debt can
sometimes be more efficient. Over-
all, though, we prefer to see little

Scary Facebook
Numbers
Many are considering investing
in Facebook, but its not enough to
just know and like the service. Initial
public offerings (IPOs) are often best
avoided until the stock settles down.
And here are some other reasons to
be cautious with Facebook:
There are 23 pages of risks detailed
in the companys prospectus, such as
users potentially defecting to com-
petitors products, users faith in the
company decreasing and a growth
rate expected to decline over time.
Fully 15 percent of its revenue
is derived from Zynga apps and
related advertising. If Zynga runs
into trouble, so will Facebook.
More than 50 percent of Face-
books voting power is held by just
one person, CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The prospectus itself explains this
conflict of interest:
As a board member and officer,
Mr. Zuckerberg owes a fiduciary duty
to our stockholders and must act in
good faith in a manner he reasonably
believes to be in the best interests of
our stockholders. As a stockholder,
even a controlling stockholder, Mr.
Zuckerberg is entitled to vote his
shares in his own interests, which
may not always be in the interests of
our stockholders generally.
Then theres the valuation. The
companys market cap was recently
near $90 billion, similar to that of
McDonalds. Does that seem right?
Consider the stock from all angles
and decide for yourself.

Quaint Math Works
I remember, quite clearly,
doing the math on electronic
storage company EMC the first
time I heard someone touting it.
I was considered quaint at the
time (during the dot-com
boom) for concerning
myself with P/E ratios, but
I did the math, and figured that
the company would need to sell
everyone on Earth a couple hun-
dred megs (a lot of storage back
then) before it could justify that
price. So I passed on buying it.
A month later, the stock had
doubled, everyone was talking
about it, and it kept rising. I gave
up and followed the herd: I bought
in, when the stock was near $120
per share. We all know what
happened next: dot-com bust.
EMC promptly tanked. I rode
it all the way down to $15 or
so, and finally sold out. The
lesson? Stick to what you know.

Q
Should I steer clear of compa-
nies with losses, since there are
so many profitable companies out
there? S.F., Binghamton, N.Y.
A
Not necessarily. Many (if not
most) great companies started
out losing money. Young companies
typically have to make large invest-
ments in order to establish themselves
and grow. So while a firm might be
generating hefty revenues, it might
be spending even more on advertis-
ing and expanding its infrastructure
in order to establish a strong position
in its industry. At a later date, it can
spend less and enjoy profits.
Its not stupid to invest in unprofit-
able companies as long as youve
done enough research to be confident
that theyll be profitable one day.
Understand that these firms are often
riskier than more established compa-
nies. Many will end up failing, while
others become household names.
Dont park too much of your
money in unprofitable companies,
though.
Theres also nothing wrong with
investing more conservatively by
focusing solely on profitable busi-
nesses. There are plenty of them,
after all, and they can be more reli-
able. You can look up companies
financial results and historical per-
formances online at caps.fool.com

Whats an 8-K report?

The Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) requires
companies to file 8-Ks whenever
certain special events have occurred
since they last filed their comprehen-
sive annual 10-K report.
The kinds of happenings that

have a significant impact on a firms
performance or financial health,
such as mergers, layoffs, plant clos-
ings, and court awards or penalties.

Debt: Its Not All Bad
Dont assume that spotting some
debt on a companys balance sheet is
bad. Debt can be both good and bad.
For example, if a company is
laden with a lot of debt, its locked
into interest payments that
it must make. If at any point
it doesnt have the cash to
cover these, its in trouble.
(Many of us can relate to this, if
weve racked up debt on credit
cards.) Even if the company can
make the payments, its spending
money on debt that it might have
been able to use in other ways.
On the other hand, debt can help
businesses survive and grow. Con-
sider that most of us would never
be able to buy our homes without
taking on debt. Without car and
school loans, many folks would
probably be driving used cars and
taking correspondence courses.
Many major companies, such
as FedEx, Dell and Pfizer, are
here because of early loans to
their founders.

VIEWS S E C T I O N E
timesleader.com
BILL INTERNICOLA
had to show his papers.
He received a letter
last month from the
Broward County, Fla.,
supervisor of elections
informing him the
office had information
from the state of Florida that you are not
a United States citizen; however, you are
registered to vote. So Internicola had to
prove he is an American. He sent the
county a copy of his Army discharge
papers.
Internicola is 91 years old. He was born
in Brooklyn. He is a veteran of the Sec-
ond World War. He earned a Bronze Star
for his part in the Battle of the Bulge.
We learn from reporter Amy Shermans
recent article in The Miami Herald that
this is part of a campaign by Florida Gov.
Rick Scott, a Republican, to weed non-
citizens off the rolls of the states voters.
Initially, Florida claimed180,000 were
possible non-citizens. That number was
eventually whittled way down to about
2,600 people. In Miami-Dade County,
where the largest number of them live,
385 have been verified as citizens. Ten ---
10! --- have admitted they are ineligible or
asked to be removed from the rolls.
The Herald analyzed the list and found
it filled with Democrats, independents
and Hispanics. Republicans and non-
Hispanic whites were least likely to have
their rights challenged.
Voter suppression? Intimidation? No
way, says Florida Republican Party Chair-
man Lenny Curry. He blasted Democratic
Sen. Bill Nelson for criticizing the effort.
Nelson, he said, asks our public servants
to ignore the threat to electoral integrity.
But the threat is very nearly non-
existent. Tova Wang, an expert in elec-
tion law, told U.S. News and World Re-
port in April that the number of people
who have been prosecuted successfully
for voter fraud is ridiculously low. A
2006 report from the Brennan Center for
Justice at New York University School of
Law found documented examples of
voter fraud to be extremely rare and
likened it to ones chances of being killed
by lightning. Earlier this month, the
Justice Department weighed in, ordering
the state to stop this voter purge. The
Feds say that, among other failings, the
policy violates the 1965 Voting Rights
Act.
The idea that voter fraud is epidemic
stems from the occasional high profile
exception and from stunts such as GOP
activist James OKeefes sending some
guy into a polling place to vote under the
name of Attorney General Eric Holder.
But stunts and high profile exceptions do
not disprove ---- nor even address --- the
statistical reality Wang and the Brennan
Center describe.
The demographic trend lines are clear-
ly against the Republican Party. But
rather than work to broaden the partys
appeal, some GOP leaders have chosen
instead to narrow the other partys base
under the guise of addressing a problem
that does not exist. Thus, you get a cam-
paign to gut the aforementioned Voting
Rights Act of 1965. Thus, you get re-
strictive new Voter ID laws. Thus you get
Florida culling its voter rolls of non-
citizens and somehow, apparently by
sheer happenstance, targeting those who
are most likely to vote for the other party.
Thus, you get Internicola being asked
for his papers.
Yes, he provided them. But how many
people, in a nation where voter turnout
stands at a measly 45.5 percent, are going
to make the effort? How many, when
repeated obstacles are placed between
them and the polling place, are going to
give up in frustration? And that, of
course, is the whole idea.
This is a thumb on the scales. It is a
blatant use of the machinery of govern-
ment in the cause of voter intimidation
and suppression.
Internicola happens to be --- what are
the odds? ---- a Democrat. He was flab-
bergasted to learn the state did not
consider him a citizen. He called the
county office and asked: Are you crazy?
But in the end, Bill Internicola had to
show them his papers. For that, the gov-
ernor and his party should be deeply
ashamed.

A ham-handed
solution to a
non-problem
Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the
Miami Herald, 1 Herald Plaza, Miami, FL 33132.

ALL THE worlds a
stage, all right, and
never so much as
when presidential
politics are in play.
But reality tran-
scended metaphor
Monday when croon-
er in chief Barack Obama hit Broadway.
Joining him on stage was one of the
greatest actors of our time --- Bill Clin-
ton. No longer playing the role of polit-
ical antagonist, Clinton is now Dean
Martin to Obamas Frank Sinatra.
No one understands better than
Clinton the value of connecting with
voters through the universal language
of music. His saxophone performance
on late-night TV when he was a presi-
dential candidate in 1992 wowed his
audience and transformed the election
--- and all of them since. Ever after, it
seems, those who aspire to the presi-
dency have to be musical as well as
athletic.
Obama has proved himself capable of
carrying a tune and has sung publicly
at least twice, including at a White
House blues festival, where, incidental-
ly, Mick Jagger also performed.
And, lets be honest, Obama warbling
Al Greens I-I-I-Im so in love with you
has a different je ne sais quoi than, say,
Mitt Romney reciting America the
Beautiful. Speaking of metaphors ...
We know these things dont matter
---- or they shouldnt but they do.
Optics. Staging. Performance. Audi-
ence chemistry. Theyre all part of the
packaging. Americans used to ask
themselves with whom theyd rather
attend a beer summit, or something
like that. Now they wonder: But can he
sing?
Barack on Broadway was perhaps
inevitable for the man who accepted
his partys nomination under the stars
on a stage that featured rows of Roman
columns.
Thus, Obama and his new sidekick
appeared at the New Amsterdam The-
atre, wrapping up a three-stop night of
fundraisers that had included a gala at
the Waldorf-Astoria and a fundraiser at
the home of hedge-fund billionaire
Marc Lasry. From the stage, they daz-
zled an audience of about 1,700, in-
cluding various Broadway stars. This
week, Obama returns to New York for a
fundraising party at the home of Sex
and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker.
OK, so theres nothing new to see
here. Hollywood likes Obama. Who
didnt know? Some like him so much
that they recently ponied up $40,000 a
plate for dinner with the president at
George Clooneys house.
And, yes, clearly Clinton has
changed his own tune. Where once he
referred to Obamas potential fairy
tale, hes now a genial warm-up act. So
goes politics, especially when your wife
is being mentioned for another presi-
dential run in 2016.
Destiny imposes certain adjust-
ments.
Still, it becomes increasingly difficult
for the Obama campaign to insist that
the president is fighting for the little
guy against the evil rich when no one is
so rich as the company he himself
keeps.
It must be tough to play second
fiddle to the man who defeated your
wife (and kept you out of the White
House in the starring role of First Hus-
band). But Clinton is nothing if not a
party animal, and holding Hillarys
place trumps personal pride.
Moreover, it can only help Obama to
share a spotlight with Clinton. Despite
peccadilloes that seem quaint com-
pared to more recent scandals, Clinton
remains not only popular (67 percent
favorability), but also preferable to
both Obama (56 percent favorability)
and Romney (48 percent).
It is widely assumed that Romneys
campaign will outspend Obamas, but
whatever the gap, it will be minor to
folks accustomed to trafficking in bil-
lions. Meanwhile, the Democratic
Partys demonization of the rich wont
wash as long as the president shares
the stage with Hollywood and such
billionaires are deemed acceptable.
Aint that a kick in the head?

W
ASHINGTON --
When he speaks on
the floor of the House
of Representatives,
Rep. Mick Mulvaney
talks at just below an eighth-grade lev-
el, lower than any of his 534 congres-
sional peers.
Rep. Dan Lungren, by contrast, has
spoken this congressional term at a
20th grade level, the highest level in
Congress and roughly like a Ph.D. can-
didate defending a dissertation.
Does that make Lungren brilliant
and Mulvaney dumb?
Mulvaney, a freshman Republican
fromSouthCarolina, laughs at the sug-
gestion.
Folks back home think Iman effec-
tive speaker and an effective writer,
Mulvaney told McClatchy Newspa-
pers. I try to write and speak in a con-
versational style. I have people thank
me every week for at least making an
effort to explain complex things in a
comprehensible fashion.
A new study by Sunlight Founda-
tion, a Washington group that pushes
for government transparency, is sub-
jectingMulvaneyandother lawmakers
who scored at low grade levels to kid-
ding from their peers and ridicule in
other quarters. The study took law-
makers floor speeches since 1996, as
publishedintheCongressional Record,
and ran them through the Flesch-Kin-
caid test, which links longer sentences
and more complex words with higher
grade levels.
Mulvaneys thoughts on that meth-
od can be summed up with a simple
word: hogwash.
I dont think anyone seriously equa-
tes sentence length with intellect,
Mulvaney said. If that was the case,
then the kids who write run-on sen-
tences would be the smartest kids in
school. Infact, youcouldmakeastrong
argument that its much more difficult
to speak clearly and concisely thenit is
to just ramble aimlessly.
Lungren, a nine-term Republican
fromLong Beach, Calif., isnt apologiz-
ing for his ranking as the most erudite-
sounding pol in Washington, however.
It was kindof flatteringtosee that,
he said. I very much am a student of
the spoken word. I started as a debater
and a competitive speaker in high
school. I hadoutstandingteachers who
challengedus totrytolearntocommu-
nicate and to use the right words. As a
legislator, Ive tried to ensure that we
pay attention to the words we put in
statute.
The perspectives of Lungren and
Mulvaney illustrate the current politi-
cal divide within the Republican Party.
Mulvaney is among the 87 House
Republicans elected to Congress in
2010for thefirst time, manyof themon
the wings of plain-spoken, tea party-in-
spired campaigns.
Inthe Sunlight Foundationstudy, all
but three of the 25 lawmakers with the
lowest grade levels of speech are Re-
publicans, and 13 of those 22 Republi-
cans are freshmen. Among the 25 with
the highest grade levels, 14 are Repub-
licans, but only two -- Reps. Rodney
Alexander of Louisiana and Mark
Amodei of Nevada -- are in their first
terms.
Mulvaney gently mocked a 62-word
sentence from a recent Lungren floor
speech that Mulvaney read online:
This Justice Department, in my
judgment, basedontheexperienceIve
had here in this Congress, 18 years, my
years as the chief legal officer of the
state of California and35or 40years as
a practicing attorney tells me that this
administration has fundamentally
failed in its obligation to attempt to
faithfullycarryout thelaws of theUnit-
ed States.
Thats the kind of talk, Mulvaney
says, that he and his fellow freshman
Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C.
(grade 7.9)
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
(grade 8)
Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii

Dumb Congress
or dumb study?
THE SUNLIGHT FOUNDATION, a Washington group that pushes for
government transparency, is subjecting lawmakers who scored at low grade
levels to kidding from their peers and ridicule in other quarters. The study took
lawmakers floor speeches since 1996, as published in the Congressional
Record, and ran them through the Flesch-Kincaid test, which links longer
sentences and more complex words with higher grade levels.
Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Calif.
(college senior, grade 16)
Martin Luther Kings I Have a

Rep. Tom Petri, R-Wis.
A recent analysis by the Sunlight
Foundation assigned grade levels
to all 535 members of Congress
based on their House and Senate
speeches since 1996. The method
equates simple words and short
sentences with low grade levels.
Here are the five lawmakers with
the highest grade levels and the
five with the lowest, along with
other key ratings for comparison:

I dont buy the method, I dont

mutter said.
Lee Drutman, a political scien-
tist at the Sunlight Foundation

disagree.
What some will interpret as
the dumbing-down of Congress,
others will see as more effective
communications, Drutman said.
Thats all well and good. But

tively low grade levels werent

The Vietnam War had been
raging for years. On June 8, 1972,
a single photocommunicatedthe
horrors of the fighting in a way
words couldnever describe, help-
ing to end one of the most divi-
sive conflicts in American histo-
ry.
Huynh Cong Nick Ut heard
the little girls screams and
couldnt turn away. In the time of
film and darkrooms, the 21-year-
old Vietnamese photographer
didnt know the power of the im-
age he had just taken, but he
knew what he had to do. He
drove the badly burned child to a
small hospital. There, hewas told
she was too far gone to help. But
Nick flashed his American press
badge, demanded that doctors
treat the girl and left assured that
she would not be forgotten.
In the Pulitzer Prize-winning
image, children run screaming
from a burning Vietnamese vil-
lage. The little girl in the center
of the frame, Kim Phuc, is naked
andcrying, her clothes andlayers
of skin melted away by napalm.
I cried when I saw her run-
ning, saidUt, whoseolder broth-
er was killed on assignment with
the AP in the southern Mekong
Delta of Vietnam.
Now, four decades later, Nick
Ut and KimPhuc remain close. I
knew in my dream that one day
Uncle Ut could help me to have
freedom, said Phuc, referring to
himby an affectionate Vietname-
se term.
Most of the people, they know
my picture, but theres very few
that know about my life, Kim
Phuc said. Imsothankful that ...
I can accept the picture as a pow-
erful gift. Then it is my choice.
Then I can work with it for
peace.
Today, Im so happy I helped
Kim, said Ut, who still works for
AP and recently returned to
Trang Bang village. I call her my
daughter.

Editorial
Theres a reason all these people
are giving all this money. They
want things.
Joe Trippi
The Democratic campaign consultant, who tapped
into the Internet to raise large sums for Howard
Deans candidacy in 2004, commented on the unprecedented
fundraising in this years presidential election. President Barack Obama
and Republican rival Mitt Romney each could draw a billion dollars in
the race.
IT SOUNDS relatively
harmless. Synthetic marijua-
na. Like pot for people who
dont want to get arrested.
For a while, thats kind of
how it worked. Hiding un-
der the guise of natural
herbal ingredients, with labels such as orga-
nic and herbal incense and fake weed,
the substance was able to spread from its
European beginnings to a worldwide prod-
uct, dispensed right out in the open.
Gas stations sold it. Smoke shops. Party
stores. You could use it and still pass a drug
test.
The problem is, theres nothing fake about
what fake weed does to some of its users.
And now that we know it, we must stop it.
Reports of psychotic behavior, violence
and hallucinations should make every poten-
tial buyer beware. Side effects linked to sei-
zures and anxiety attacks should too.
And the fact that synthetic compounds are
being used to make this stuff, changed and
switched as if part of a mad scientist chem-
istry lab, should leave any potential customer
running for the hills.
But the problem isnt just the buyers.
Its the sellers.
Now, I could understand this with your
standard issue drug dealers. They are hard to
identify, they slip into the shadows, they
work street corners and backrooms.
But the culprits in the synthetic marijuana
story are often convenience stores, gas sta-
tions, smoke shops easily found places of
business that presumably need a license to
operate and, most glaringly, someone to
order the inventory.
So whats the problem? If the same person
who checks off the cigarette, potato chip and
Pepsi orders is the person unpacking the
Spice, K2 or other versions of this newest
poison, why cant they be identified? I doubt
gas stations have a separate Shady Drug
Purchasing Officer.
When a Troy, Mich., district court judge,
Kirsten Nielsen Hartig, filled up with gas
recently, she decided to see how easy buying
the dangerous substance could be.
I asked for it, and the clerk really didnt
want to talk about it, she said. He reached
down, grabbed a box and it had 15 different
kinds to choose from ...
He said, I dont even know what it is. Just
take your pick and Ill ring it up.
When he did, Hartig said, it was rung up
under tobacco.
Thats one very dangerous smoke.
States such as Michigan are taking rapid
action to prohibit the sale of this stuff, which
has been linked to deaths all over the coun-
try, frequently young people who, under its
influence, grow inexplicably violent or ex-
press urges to do damage.
The fact that some people claim it is now
the third-most popular substance among
high school-age kids should really make us
shiver.
So should this: While many of these syn-
thetic marijuana substances were made ille-
gal in the last two years, theres a huge loop-
hole. Its a very complex compound, said
Hartig. All the manufacturers have to do is
change just one of the compounds ... or the
amount of that compound ... to circumvent
the law and make it legal again.
So basically the drug dealers, the drug
pushers, are one step ahead of the law.
When I asked why the manufacturers
couldnt be pursued, Hartig said on 15 differ-
ent packets she examined, none had a name
of a maker on it. We think that its coming
from India and China mostly, she said, but
we have no idea whats in it.
When I asked the obvious question who
is ordering this stuff? she replied, Thats a
good question.
It needs to be answered. And it needs to be
stopped.
Michigan is doing a good thing by encou-
raging businesses to display signs that say
they are not carrying any of these products,
and urging customers to stay away from
establishments that do.
Meanwhile, the authorities should crack
down on the latter. If we would chase down a
drug dealer in a schoolyard, why wouldnt we
pursue a store that keeps a clearly dangerous
product under the counter, and rings it up
falsely under tobacco?
It sounds relatively harmless. Synthetic
marijuana. But do a little research. Then sit
your kids down and tell them the truth.
It isnt.
Using synthetic marijuana can have real consequences

COMMENTARY
M I T C H A L B O M
The fact that some people claim it is now
the third-most popular substance among
high school-age kids should really make us
shiver.
BOB CASEY was no longer
governor. Following his
two terms as Pennsylva-
nias chief executive, 1987
to 1995, Casey was suc-
ceeded by Congressman
Tom Ridge of Erie.
Four months prior to Ridge being elected
the commonwealths 43rd governor, Casey
signed bills associated with his last state
budget in my Wilkes-Barre district office.
It was July 1, 1994, and Casey was in
town for an unprecedented announcement
of significant economic importance. Years
of passionate persuasion, intense justifica-
tion and affectionate nudging were over. In
the midst of an enthusiastic crowd, pep-
pered with news media outlets from
throughout the region, Gov. Casey declared
that an arena would be built on this spot
in Wilkes-Barre Township.
Gov. Casey presented me a check repre-
senting the $19.2 million that had been
legislatively approved, earmarked and au-
thorized to help construct our arena on that
site. We were on our way.
Or so I thought.
Similar to the Hundred Years War, the
Punic Wars and Wars of the Roses, The
Arena Wars of 1995, 96 and 97 erupted
throughout the land.
Like many conflagrations throughout
history, the unnecessary Arena Wars leave
almost everyone wondering what in the
name of Tux, lord of all Spheniscidae, was
the purpose.
Nevertheless they occurred, making ev-
erything more difficult, nearly impossible
(like spinning a dozen porcelain plates on
sticks, continuously) so families might
experience the joys such facilities provide.
Yet this is not one of a thousand arena
stories, as much as I now enjoy telling
them. Rather it is about public service,
former state Sen. Charles Lemmond and a
time when politics was the exciting pass-
port to governing when governing meant
getting good things done for the people and
state we represented.
It was a time when Republicans and Dem-
ocrats would cooperate, consult, compro-
mise and not only cross the aisle, but also
traverse the rotunda in support of a good
idea.
Sen. Lemmond, a Republican from the
Back Mountain, did not hesitate to pick up
the phone to gauge support for an impor-
tant issue in the House. We helped each
other. Such was my wonderful relationship
with Charlie Lemmond.
By the first anniversary of Gov. Caseys
arena decision, it and its expensive inter-
state Exit 168, completely dependent upon
arena construction, were hanging by a
thread.
My friend was no longer governor. Newly
elected Republican Gov. Tom Ridge was
now in charge and while predisposed to
respect community projects already ap-
proved by a fellow governor, insurance in
such matters was only prudent.
When it came to protecting the arena
under a new Republican administration, I
visited Charlie in person. He always was
kind and effective. The Ridge adminis-
tration never touched our arena funding nor
that of Exit 168.
Subsequently, when Gov. Ridge called
needing a vote for his 1997 increase in gas
taxes to repair our bridges and highways, he
did not have to ask me twice. It was the
right thing to do.
Later when I needed an additional $2
million to put some modern finishing tou-
ches on the arena, Charlie brought three
high-ranking officials from the Ridge admin-
istration to the arena so I could show them
what we had done and what we needed.
One official called it a model for redevel-
opment assistance projects throughout the
state. Thanks to Charlie, the additional
funding arrived.
I retired from the Legislature in 2006, as
did Sen. Lemmond and fellow former
House members Tom Tigue (D), George
Hasay (R) and Gaynor Cawley (D). Togeth-
er it is the regional Class of 2006, and we
occasionally would meet for lunch at area
restaurants to reminisce and discuss the
pressing problems of the day. Charlie rarely
missed, and there were few issues we could
not solve.
Honestly, there was a time before broken,
dysfunctional government when Democrats
and Republicans could consult, compromise
and cooperate. And we are all so fortunate
that Sen. Charles D. Lemmond was there.
Lemmond was there, quietly working across party lines

T LONG LAST,
Wilkes-Barre resi-
dents might gain the
belief that despite
an old and cynical adage you
can fight City Hall.
Longtime critics of the citys
vehicle-towing contractor,
LAG Towing owner Leo Glod-
zik, last week seemed to find a
well-placed ally in Council-
man Tony George, who ex-
pressed his displeasure with
the companys sup-
posed stonewalling
of a records request.
The city has a right
to reviewhis records
and his shop, Ge-
orge said during
Thursdays council
meeting. If he
thinks he can thumb
his nose at council,
thenwe shouldbeginproceed-
ings to terminate his con-
tract.
Certain attendees applaud-
ed the councilmans com-
ments. Until then, complaints
that LAG Towing might have
overcharged customers and
failed to supply adequate re-
cords ostensibly fell on deaf
ears in the mayors office.
Separately, citizens who
rightfully raised a ruckus over
the proposed sale of a city
property, the former OldRiver
Road Bakery, were rewarded
earlier this year witha positive
outcome. Bruce Lefkowitz,
owner of a pharmacy in the
same South Wilkes-Barre
neighborhood, bought the par-
cels for $50,000; he plans to re-
locate his family business to
the site after some $3.8 mil-
lion in improvements.
Initially, the city had not
publicly advertised the bakery
property, failing to ensure it
obtained the highest sales
price. Instead, a deal was reac-
hedwithLeoGlodzik(yes, the
same towing operator men-
tioned earlier), who planned
to pay $38,000. His intentions
for the site: House a new stor-
age facility there for his tow-
ing business.
The city probably could
have spared it-
self some poor
publicity, and a
lawsuit, if it
simply had
done a better
job of advertis-
ing its for-sale
properties.
Mayor Tom
Leighton, it
should be noted, owns a real
estate company. Go figure.
This month, certain city
watchdogs hope to put the
brakes on an administration
proposal to lease Wilkes-
Barres parking assets (ga-
rages, lots andmeters) toa pri-
vate firm for a multimillion-
dollar, upfront payment. They
are wise to call for more data
about the dubious claims of
this proposed venture.
Taxpayers and democracy
benefit whenever well-inten-
tioned people question the ac-
tions and motives of their
elected officials.
Our thanks to all those peo-
ple who value good govern-
ment and take seriously their
obligations as citizens, who
show up and speak out. And
who, every once inawhile, win
one for the little guy.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
A
BILL PASSED
Wednesday in the
state House and sent
to the Senate shows
just howwarped the priorities
of some of our lawmakers are:
An amendment to the bill
wouldprohibit payday lenders
from locating too close to a
horse-race track. Apparently,
the bills sponsor, Chris Ross,
wants to protect the custom-
ers of one of the states favor-
ite-son industries the indus-
try that was the very reason
for Harrisburgtolegalizegam-
bling from the damaging ef-
fects of high-interest-rate
predatory loans. Such lenders
would also not be allowed in
slots parlors.
So if youre partaking of
state-sanctioned gambling,
youre in good shape. The rest
of us, not so much.
By removing a 24 percent
interest-rate cap on loans,
Ross bill would allow payday
lenders into the state to prey
on primarily low-income con-
sumers who need a short-term
loan, with outrageous interest
rates that can exceed 400 per-
cent annually.
Ross argues that the bill is
intended to provide protec-
tions for consumers, because
if the state cant license these
lenders, consumers turn to
the unregulated Internet for
these short-term loans that
can suck theminto endless cy-
cles of borrowing at high
rates. But such an argument is
a sham, since two years ago,
the state Supreme Court ruled
that out-of-statelenders hadto
follow the states banking reg-
ulations, which curtailed
much of their activity here.
Ross alsoargues that thebill
would provide more protec-
tions than other states that al-
low such practices; but no
state has legalized these lend-
ers for seven years, and in-
deed, many have shut them
down. It would be better if
Pennsylvania followed the ex-
ampleof 17states that dont al-
low them.

W
e recently got a shocking
letter from Capital One
Credit. We purposely
never applied for a card from
it, mostly because of its in-

Imagine our surprise when
we got a letter from the com-
pany telling us that it had
purchased Best Buys HSBC.
Even worse, we were informed
that it shares customer in-
formation and there seeming-
ly is nothing that we can do
about it!
Is that legal?
Is there a consumer protec-
tion advocate somewhere to
protect us?
I am absolutely appalled

Dont give up pet
for apartment
I
n response to Marie Recz-
kowskis letter to the editor
this spring, Apartment
living should include pets, I,
too, can understand why land-
lords do not want pets in
apartments due to damage.
Their premise makes sense.
And as a renter with three
cats, I agree that landlords
should be more understanding
of good potential tenants who
might come with some furry
friends. Not all pet owners are
messy and not all pets are
destructive. However, pet
owners do not need to give up
their pets in order to find a
good home for themselves.
First, renters with pets
should simply try harder to
find a landlord who will allow
pets. Even if the ad says, no
pets allowed, it does not hurt
to ask. The landlord might be
willing to reconsider after
meeting you. Maybe she or he
would like to meet your pets,
too.
Second, if a landlord is on
the fence about allowing pets,
perhaps you could write a
short agreement saying you
will be responsible for any
damage created by your pets.
Offer to have this agreement
notarized.
Third, you could volunteer
veterinary records or refer-
ences from previous landlords.
Vet records would show you
take good care of your pets;
references would give addi-
tional information about your
character and cleanliness.
Finally, keep looking. Be
willing to pay a pet deposit,
either up front or added on to
your monthly rent. Having
pets is a big commitment, and
you must consider their well-
being when searching for a
new home. That new home is
for all of you, and you should
do everything you can to keep
your furry family together.

SEND US YOUR OPINION
IN1947, a retired
public school princi-
pal from California
named Ethel Percy
Andrus discovered
one of her retired
teacher colleagues
living in a chicken
coop, struggling to survive on a mea-
ger pension, in poor health, with no
means to obtain heath care.
The discovery shocked Andrus to
take actions that would serve to im-
prove the lives of all older Americans
for decades to follow.
An active leader in her California
Retired Teachers Association, Andrus
reached out to the handful of other
state retired school employee orga-
nizations that then existed, including
the Pennsylvania Association of School
Retirees (my employer), and united
our organizations to form the National
Retired Teachers Association (NRTA).
Collectively, we lobbied our states and
the federal government to enact laws
to improve the condition of retired
public servants, and we combined the
buying power of our individual mem-
bers to entice companies to produce
products and services that individuals
need during their later years, including
health insurance for persons over age
65, which did not exist previously.
By no means were school retirees
the only ones living in chicken coops
in 1947. As word of NRTAs successes
for retired educators spread, increasing
numbers of older persons who did not
work in the public schools turned to
NRTA for help.
In 1958, led again by Andrus, we
helped establish the American Associ-
ation of Retired Persons (AARP).
What followed were a series of im-
provements in Social Security, the
establishment of Medicare, elimination
of age discrimination in our laws and
practices, affordable benefits and ser-
vices designed for seniors and millions
of older Americans moving out pover-
ty.
I have watched with growing alarm
the demise of defined benefit pension
plans in the private sector and read the
mounting body of evidence proving
that the vast majority of people who
now have a 401(k) plan and Social
Security will accumulate nowhere near
enough to pay their basic living ex-
penses in retirement. I saw my own
retirement account lose half its value
twice in the past 10 years, first when
the entity managing my funds was
implicated in an accounting scandal
and again when the money managers
on Wall Street wrecked our financial
system by bundling and betting on bad
mortgages. I witnessed the devastation
that occurs when a person outlives
his/her retirement savings, as I helped
my mother sell everything she owned
to pay her nursing home expenses.
The current drive to eliminate the
defined benefit pension plans for Penn-
sylvanias retired public employees is
being advocated by the very same
groups and individuals who promoted
the elimination of corporate pensions
and who have been seeking to priv-
atize and eliminate the guaranteed
benefits provided by Social Security.
The advocates of replacing defined
benefit plans with individual retire-
ment accounts and of privatizing So-
cial Security are one and the same:
ultraconservative, libertarian orga-
nizations seeking to dismantle any and
all government-run programs. They
include the Commonwealth Founda-
tion in Pennsylvania, funded by Wall
Street entities seeking to profit from
managing our retirement savings.
At what point do we say no to Wall
Street and demand that our elected
representatives work to strengthen the
systems that enable us to obtain secure
sources of income in retirement?
The advocates for eliminating pen-
sions and privatizing Social Security
enjoy scaring us with incomprehen-
sible numbers billions in unfunded
public employee pension liabilities,
trillions in Social Security shortfalls.
The news media love to fuel contro-
versy with stories about outrageous
pension amounts that only a select few
receive, most notably the benefits
collected by retiring legislators who
voted themselves far more lucrative
pensions than what the typical state or
school employee can receive.
All this is intended to convince us
that pensions and Social Security ben-
efits are too generous, unsustainable,
and need to be eliminated. Really?
The facts are that the average annual
pension for a retired public school
employee in Pennsylvania is $23,500,
and the average annual Social Security
benefit is $14,500. These are hardly
overly generous amounts, considering
that the average personal income for
Pennsylvania residents is more than
$41,000 per year.
Eliminating all guaranteed sources
of income in retirement, including
pensions and Social Security, would
only assure greater profits for Wall
Street and a return to the chicken
coops for our nations seniors.
Will eliminating retirement income send seniors back to chicken coops?

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SUNDAY, JUNE 10, 2012 PAGE 5E
V I E W S
JUNE 5, 2012,
will be re-
membered as
the beginning
of the long
decline of the
public-sector
union.
It will follow, and parallel,
the shrinking of private-sector
unions, now down to less than
7 percent of American workers.
The abject failure of the unions
to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott
Walker the first such failure
in U.S. history marks the
Icarus moment of government-
union power. Wax wings melt-
ed, theres nowhere to go but
down.
The ultimate significance of
Walkers union reforms has
been largely misunderstood. At
first, the issue was curtailing
outrageous union benefits, far
beyond those of the ordinary
Wisconsin taxpayer. That be-
came a nonissue when the
unions quickly realized that
trying to defend the indefen-
sible would render them toxic
for the real fight to come.
So they made the fight about
the right to collective bar-
gaining, which the reforms
severely curtailed. In a state as
historically progressive as
Wisconsin in 1959, it was the
first to legalize the govern-
ment-worker union they
thought they could win as a
matter of ideological fealty.
But as the recall campaign
progressed, the Democrats
stopped talking about bargain-
ing rights. It was a losing is-
sue. Walker was able to make
the case that years of corrupt
union-politician back-scratch-
ing had been bankrupting the
state. And he had just enough
time to demonstrate the bene-
ficial effects of overturning
that arrangement: a huge bud-
get deficit closed without
raising taxes, significant
school-district savings from
ending cozy insider health-
insurance contracts, and a
modest growth in jobs.
But the real threat behind all
this was that the new law end-
ed automatic government
collection of union dues. That
was the unexpressed and polit-
ically inexpressible issue.
Without the thumb of the state
tilting the scale by coerced
collection, union membership
became truly voluntary. Re-
sult? Newly freed members
rushed for the exits. In less
than one year, AFSCME, the
second largest public-sector
union in Wisconsin, has lost
more than 50 percent of its
membership.
In Wisconsin, Democratic
and union bosses (a redun-
dancy) understood what was
at stake if Walker prevailed:
not benefits, not rights, but
the very existence of the
unions.
So they fought and they lost.
Repeatedly. Tuesday was their
third and last shot at reversing
Walkers reforms. In April 2011,
they ran a candidate for chief
justice of the state Supreme
Court who was widely expect-
ed to strike down the law. She
lost.
In July and August 2011,
they ran recall elections of
state senators, needing three
to reclaim Democratic i.e.,
union control. They failed.
And then, Tuesday, their
Waterloo. Walker defeated
their gubernatorial candidate
by a wider margin than he had
two years ago.
The unions defeat marks a
historical inflection point.
They set out to make an exam-
ple of Walker. He succeeded in
making an example of them as
a classic case of reactionary
liberalism. An institution
founded to protect its mem-
bers grew in size, wealth, pow-
er and arrogance. A half-centu-
ry later these unions were
exercising essential control of
everything from wages to work
rules in the running of govern-
ment something that, in a
system of republican govern-
ance, is properly the sovereign
province of the citizenry.
Why did the unions lose?
Because Norma Rae nostalgia
is not enough, and it hardly
applied to government workers
living better than the average
taxpayer who supports them.
Most important, however,
because in the end reality
prevails. As economist Herb
Stein once put it: Something
that cant go on, wont. These
public-sector unions, acting, as
FDR had feared, with an inher-
ent conflict of interest regard-
ing their own duties, were
devouring the institution they
were supposed to serve, ren-
dering state government as
economically unsustainable as
the collapsing entitlement
states of southern Europe.
It couldnt go on. Now it
wont. All that was missing
was a political leader willing to
risk his career to make it stop.
Because, time being infinite,
even the inevitable doesnt
happen on its own.
Wisconsin was Waterloo
for public-sector unions

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Pete G. Wilcox
and words by Mark E. Jones
THE FIRST
concrete ef-
fects of the
Supreme
Courts Citi-
zens United
decision be-
came evident
and it is not good news for our
democracy.
The huge, largely anony-
mous money that poured into
the recall election of Gov.
Scott Walker of Wisconsin was
eclipsed on Tuesday by $50
million spent by tobacco com-
panies in California in an at-
tempt to stop a proposed $1
per pack tax. The tobacco
companies wasted their mon-
ey, because the tax was pop-
ular among voters; but the
simple fact that corporations
can now flood an election with
huge money is frightening.
In fact, the Walker election
and the tobacco tax initiative
are probably not good exam-
ples of the potential danger of
this new system of purchasing
power.
Walker retained his seat, in
part, because many voters,
like me, are not fans of recall-
ing an elected official just
because we disagree with him.
Walkers attack on collective
bargaining is despicable, but
thats why we have legisla-
tures and hold elections.
There are other ways to skin a
cat.
Similarly, the tobacco tax in
California was popular be-
cause voters on the Left
Coast realize that the state
needs the money and even
smokers are willing to cough
up another buck for a pack.
Heck, in Seattle, they are $9 a
pack a far cry from the
three for a nickel at Henny
Meades in Avoca when I start-
ed on the little devils.
No, the most pernicious
effects of Citizens United
wont be felt in the big, impor-
tant elections as much as they
will on state and local elec-
tions. President Obama, for
example, should be able to
hold his own with the power
money behind Mitt Romney.
The handwriting, however,
is on the wall. Corporate cash
can now take aim at state,
regional and local govern-
ments where its purchasing
power is magnified. Polluters
will find their money well
spent on state legislature
elections where most regu-
lations are written. Also, ex-
pect labor laws to come under
serious attack.
Citizens United also should
propel the Republican Party
into a more dominant posi-
tion. The richer the 1 per-
cent gets, the more it can
sponsor legislators of its lik-
ing.
With the tax cuts and elim-
ination of programs contained
in the budget proposal of U.S.
Rep. Paul Ryan, for instance,
you can expect him to have a
huge super PAC behind him.
The GOP is already in a
strong position and Citizens
United could enhance the
partys dominance.
In 2010, there were 3,941
Republican state legislators
throughout the country, the
most since 1928, when there
were 4,001. We can expect
that number to increase as
super PACs target state legis-
lature elections.
Sadly, as we watch billions
of dollars being spent on the
procurement of political pow-
er, UNICEF recently reported
that 23.1 percent of American
children are now living under
the poverty level. And across
the country we are cutting
funding for schools and social
programs.
In an impassioned dissent-
ing opinion on the Citizens
United case, retired Supreme
Court Justice John Paul Ste-
vens warned that the courts
ruling threatened to under-
mine the integrity of elected
institutions across the na-
tion.
The undermining has be-
gun.

John Watson is the former editor of

Citizens United also should
propel the Republican Party
into a more dominant position.
The richer the 1 percent
gets, the more it can sponsor
legislators of its liking.
AS THE November
elections approach,
one question jumps to
mind: Why does any-
one want to be presi-
dent?
Taking the rudder
of the United States
has never been anything but an enor-
mous challenge. The difficulties con-
fronting the winner of the next election
will prove no exception.
Im not referring to the state of U.S.
politics and the way the two major
political parties have suddenly decided
they cannot work together, or about
the giant economic dilemmas that
loom in the American horizon. Im
simply looking at the warning signs
rising from the other side of the Atlan-
tic. (Ill leave the Pacific for another
day.) Its enough to take your breath
away.
Consider, for a small sample, what
has transpired in the world in only the
last few days. In the course of a single
week, the European Union, Americas
principal global ally, inched closer to
the edge of economic disaster.
We know Greece is standing at the
brink of the precipice and already has
seen many rocks slide out from under
its feet. But Greece is a small country.
The really frightening troubles are
becoming visible in Spain, where banks
are groaning under a mountain of bad
real estate debt. This is not the result
of too much government generosity. Its
the product of an economic collapse
that sucked the air out of the real es-
tate property market.
If Spain falls, Europe might not be
able to avert disaster. The United
States will not be able to build a sea
wall tall enough to keep out the tsuna-
mi.
But Europe is hardly the only danger
ahead.
Egypt, the most populous country in
the Middle East, recently held its first
free presidential election and pro-
duced a most disappointing result.
Instead of choosing one of the rela-
tively moderate candidates, voters
chose the two extremes. The top two
vote-getters will face off in a runoff
next month, and the outcome of that
election is sure to give heartburn to
whoever lives in the White House in
the coming years.
The next president of Egypt will be
either Mohammed Morsi, a hardline
leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, or
Ahmed Shafiq, a former general who
served as Mubaraks last prime minis-
ter.
Whether Morsi or Shafiq wins, the
future for Egypt looks like a confronta-
tion waiting to happen between the
military and the Brotherhood. Nobody,
by the way, seems to be standing for
the liberal principles that guided the
young, secular activists of Tahrir
Square.
Egypt could become the first post-
Arab Spring country whose govern-
ment is completely dominated by the
Muslim Brotherhood, or it could erupt
into Muslims versus military clashes,
or it could end up with a military take-
over. The way ahead looks as clear as a
sand storm. And were talking about
the Middle East the most unstable
region of the world even before the
new wave of revolutions started last
year, and lest we forget, the source and
transit point of much of the worlds
economic lifeblood: oil.
As Egyptians voted a few days ago,
western powers met with representa-
tives of Iran, hoping for progress in
efforts to stop the Islamic Republics
nuclear program. The meeting in Bagh-
dad achieved nothing, except an agree-
ment to meet again this month. Every
few weeks we hear more evidence from
United Nations nuclear inspectors, who
say Iran is enriching uranium to higher
levels and appears to be preparing to
militarize its nuclear operations.
The presidents briefing on Iran was
probably interrupted by news from
Syria, where the regime is intensifying
its slaughter of anti-dictatorship pro-
tests. Now an Iranian general has let it
slip that Iranian Revolutionary Guards
are helping forces loyal to Syrian Presi-
dent Bashar Assad put down the rebel-
lion.
Pressure is growing for intervention
in Syria, but Russia, in particular, has
given Assad cover. Syria is becoming a
proxy for the battle between Iran and
its Arab, Sunni and western adversar-
ies.
Regardless of what unfolds in Eu-
rope, and how the American economy
fares in the coming months, the danger
from the continuing crises in the Mid-
dle East will occupy the days of the
man who wins in November. And it is
sure to occupy some of his nights, as
well, with a few 3 a.m. emergency calls
to wake him.
With the world changing at such a
dangerous pace, it would be nice if he
could count on a Congress and an
opposition party with a strong sense of
loyalty, and on an economy strong
enough to provide more freedom of
action. Yet its all but certain that those
luxuries, available to some of his prede-
cessors, will remain absent for the
winner of the next election.
With the world in tumult, who would want the job of being president?

Compassion helps
grieving family
O
ur family thanks everyone
for all the cards, letters
and compassion we re-
ceived after the passing of our
grandson Dominick Liguori
on May 11. Dominick served

N. W-B parish
seeks dialogue
A
s a longtime parishioner
in the Scranton Diocese, it
pains me to see the condi-
tion of the churches and par-
ishes of North Wilkes-Barre.
My parish has tried every
avenue that it considered
reasonable to open a dialogue
with the priests of our com-
bined parish and with the
diocese representatives only
to be met with silence.
As you might know, the
community of North Wilkes-
Barre has a long and proud
history, starting with our
immigrant roots and our an-
cestors desire to open church-
es to serve their families
needs. Over the years, North
Wilkes-Barres churches have
been vital and thriving places
of worship for thousands of
families, who collectively have
donated tens of thousands of
dollars to Catholic charities
and to the diocese.
I would pray that officials in
this diocese would open up
their hearts to our situation
and allow us the dignity to
have some involvement in our
parish and its future. We are
not a radical group looking to
harm the church or its admin-
istrators; we are devoted Ca-
tholics who have real love and
passion for our church and its
community. We are reasonable
people from all walks of life
who can understand the cur-
rent economic realities in the
diocese, but ask only to be
part of the solution.
I ask the church and its
representatives to please let us
have a real meeting with a
representative of the bishop to
tell our story, work out what is
best for the North Wilkes-
Barre Catholic community
and allow us to begin the
healing process so that our
combined parishes can grow
and thrive.

Plains Township
Writer: Obama
leaves bribe trail
P
resident Obamas long-
time mentor and pastor,
the Rev. Jeremiah Wright,
reportedly was offered
$150,000 in hush money to
keep quiet until after the 2008
presidential campaign. This
shocking and disturbing reve-
lation was made public as a
result of an interview conduct-
ed with Rev. Wright by Ed-
ward Klein in preparation for
his new book: The Amateur.
Were this only an isolated
incident, it might be easy for
some to dismiss Rev. Wrights
story as a desperate attempt
to regain some attention.
Sadly, this is not the first time
we have read stories of bribery
committed by members of
President Obamas team.
In 2010, when former Con-
gressman Joe Sestak was
challenging Arlen Specter for
the Democratic nomination
for U.S. senator, Sestak was
offered a job in the Obama
administration in return for
dropping out of the race. Ses-
tak gave this information to
Philadelphia news anchorman
Larry Kane. Additionally, a
congressman from Colorado,
Andrew Romanoff, told report-
ers that he was offered three
different jobs in the govern-
ment by the Obama team in
return for dropping out of his
own primary race.
Bribery is a very serious
federal offense. This disturb-
ing pattern of behavior com-
mitted by Obamas closest
friends and associates needs
to be thoroughly investigated
in order to uphold the integri-
ty of our most sacred political
institutions.

What has become
of Wilkes-Barre?
I
n a relatively short time
Wilkes-Barre seemingly has
devolved from a once-proud,
working-class town, sophisti-
cated just enough to sustain
itself and take care of its citi-
zenry, to a morally deficient,
apathetic wasteland, where
faint whispers of progress die
in silence in a vacuum of cyn-
icism. When did this happen?
And how?
Attempting to place this
moment and the exact reasons
only wraps the mind in turns.
Its a futile exercise in abject
name-dropping and circum-
stantial finger pointing poi-
soned by political allegiance,
perceived friendships and an
inherited isolationism (be it
racial, denominational, eco-
nomical, etc.). Simply ask the
following question and see
how swift and varied the flood
of answers and excuses flow:
What has become of this city?
The apathetic blame it on
political corruption. The edu-
cated blame the uneducated.
The wealthy blame the poor.
Small business blames Wal-
Mart. Democrats blame Re-
publicans (and vice versa).
Some blame the president.
Legals blame illegals. Boom-
ers blame the flood. The reli-
gious blame those who aint.
Some blame 9/11. Some NAF-
TA.
Everyone blames New York,
New Jersey and Philly.
Yet none blame themselves.
In truth, the answer lies in a
muddled combination of all
aforementioned possibilities,
but thats not exactly the prob-
lem. When it comes to any
sort of movement toward
reform or progress, we retreat
behind that comfortable shield
of blame and mistrust, where
we can direct attention to
perceived faulty parties with-
out the slightest concern for
public scrutiny or the fear of
opposition. Because enduring
so much allows for the possi-
bility, however slight, of being
proven wrong.
In all, what we suffer from
and wherein we can trace the
root of all our problems in this
city is a deficiency of courage.
We lack confidence. Were
afraid. The very act of reform
requires concession, and it is
that which terrifies us most.
Weve come to believe that
if we budge, just a bit, from
our original position(s), we
will inevitably be perceived as
weaker than we once were.
Coincidentally, history proves
that this is rarely the case.
Being too proud, holding on
to irrelevant historical grudg-
es, remaining true to party
or political philosophy, doing
things one way because they
have always been done that
way all are ideologies of a
different time that, in effect,
can no longer serve us. Just as
times change, so do the solu-
tions to the problems that
plague us.
So where do we begin? How
can we, such a diverse and
staunchly rooted community,
begin to take those first steps
in the direction of change?
Therein lies the answer.
We might never completely
solve all of our societal prob-
lems, but we will certainly
never even come close if we
dont take those crucial first
steps literally. It must begin
with us: the people who live
and work in this city, who
shop and dine downtown, who
were brave enough to make a
go of it and open shops and
restaurants, who have come
here from somewhere else to
make a new start, who are
trying to climb back up.
This city belongs to us.
Change belongs to us. Let us
take those first steps.
In fact, take them this week-
end. Enjoy a nice walk. Go
downtown. Check out the
riverfront. Walk around your
block. Greet your neighbors.
They just might surprise you
with a friendly hello, a smile,
perhaps a pleasant little con-
versation. They just might
assure you that there is little
reason to be afraid, that may-
be we can save this city if we
are willing to forget petty
differences and forgive past
grievances.
They just might show you
that there is still something
left in this city for which it is
worth fighting.

Egg legislation
would benefit all
H
ow often do you hear
people say Thats a great
idea! about things hap-
pening in Congress? Probably
not that often.
But one of the most recent
bills introduced in Congress is
something to support if you
eat at least one of the 76 bil-
lion eggs Americas hens pro-
duce each year.
The proposed law, (H.R.
3798 and S.B. 3239), is an
amendment to the four-dec-
ade-old Egg Products Inspec-
tion Act. The bill would re-
quire the gradual replacement
of conventional cages for
egg-laying hens with new
housing that provides nearly
twice the space per hen, as
well as other enrichments
such as perches, nesting boxes
and scratching areas.
The bill would eliminate the
duplicative and conflicting
state laws that are confusing
to consumers, grocers, restau-
rateurs and farmers. This
sensible approach is support-
ed by egg farmers like me, 10
animal protection groups
including the Humane Society
of the United States and the
American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals and consumer groups
such as the Consumer Feder-
ation of America.
The bill also has bipartisan
support in Congress, with
more than 65 Republican and
Democratic co-sponsors a
notable achievement in to-
days political climate. This
bill will preserve jobs in our
state and provide the egg
farmers with stability in the
future. Farmers and egg com-
panies would have confidence
in our future, and could fuel
$4 billion of investments in
new or improved farm in-
frastructure over 18 years.
This investment will bring
new manufacturing, construc-
tion, transportation and in-
stallation jobs to hundreds of
rural communities such as
ours.
Congress has only to look at
Europe to see what could
happen in the United States
without passage of this egg
bill. The European Commis-
sions single compliance dead-
line for egg farmers there has
caused reports of egg short-
ages and higher prices for
European consumers. The
gradual phase-in period and
specific housing guidelines
outlined in our legislation will
assure the U.S. marketplace of
a stable egg industry and
supply.
This legislation is an excel-
lent idea for consumers, farm-
ers, grocers, restaurateurs and
hens.
Lets hope Congress sees it
that way, too, when it votes on
it later this month.

Rejection of bill
a war on girls
T
he measure known as the
Prenatal Nondiscrimi-
nation Act was defeated in
the U.S. House of Representa-
tives on May 31.
Under suspension of the
House rules to permit consid-
eration of the bill more quick-
ly, approval of the measure
was subject to a two-thirds
majority; it fell 30 votes short
of passage. The vote on the
bill was 246-168, mostly along
party lines. Twenty Democrats
voted for the ban and seven
Republicans voted against it.
The Democrats keep saying
there is a war on women.
What happened with this vote
is the real war on women, the
little women in the wombs
of their mothers. What about
their civil rights?
How far have we fallen as a
country when we would allow
our precious little daughters
to be aborted, just because
they arent sons?
God have mercy on our
country!

Tattoo artists is just one way to
label Rhi and Chris Wallace, and when
it comes to their Kingston business, A
Psychic Unicorn, theres much more
than meets the eye.
We do tattoos, but were also an art
gallery, Rhi said. Theres a lot that we
do here.
Outside of work the couple, both 31
and of Larksville, also are big propo-
nents of giving to local charities.
Their artistry dates to their child-
hoods, early starts on a road that even-
tually would lead to a business that
celebrates art in all its forms, provides
a safe hangout and gives back to the
community.
Did you have any formal art train-

ing?
Rhi: In high school I took all the art
classes, and I went to college for it. I
went for graphic design with a concen-
tration in illustration at Edinboro Uni-
versity.
Chris: Im a bit more rustic in my
training. I basically ran the photog-
raphy department in high school, then
went to college for photography, which
gave me a lot of compositional tools. I
learned the painting and drawing on
my own.
What defines your artistic style?
Rhi: I really like pop art. I like things
that are bright and to the point, not so
much texture.
Chris: I really like the art-nouveau
movement, everything that came from
the middle to late 1800s that kind of
paved the way for what we consider
psychedelic art. If you look at concert
posters for the 60s and 70s its all
art-nouveau influenced.
Any particular colors you gravitate
toward when painting or tattooing?
Rhi: Oddly enough, black. You may
want something thats just bright, but
you cant get that bright without the
black. To me its the most useful color
because without it the other colors
dont work. I also really like Japanese
pink, a very bright pink, to accentuate
the black.
Chris: I come from the complete
opposite; my favorite color to use is
white. If you know how to use white
properly and take the time to get the
techniques down you can define so
much with it.
Whats it like to have a piece of
your art just walk out the door when
youre done with it?
Rhi: I never feel satisfied after a
tattoo is done because you only have so
much time with one person; you cant
keep fiddling with it. You get three
hours and they go away, and then Im
looking at the picture of it saying I
wish I had another minute here. Its
not like theyre bad pieces, but it keeps
you growing and wanting more.
Chris: It makes you honest as an
artist. I also think its a cool thing be-
cause you can hang a painting up and it

or more than a decade if you
wanted to see all surviving origi-
nal members of the Beach Boys,
you had to go to three separate concerts.
The groups resident genius, Brian Wilson, who
mastermindedmost of thesongs andclassic albums
such as Pet Sounds, was touring as a solo artist.
Lead singer Mike Love was touring with a band
called The Beach Boys that included only himself
and Bruce Johnston, Wilsons mid-1960s replace-
ment (when Wilson left the touring group to focus
on writing and recording), and a host of other re-
placements. And Al Jardine was fronting a band
with his sons and members of Wilsons family billed
as The Beach Boys Family & Friends.
But all that changed on December 16, 2011, when
Wilson, Love, Jardine, Johnston and David Marks
(who replaced Jardine in 1962 while the original
member was attending dental college) announced
50th-anniversary tour
showcases wave of hits
By BRAD PATTON bpatton@timesleader.com
As part of its 50th anniversary reunion tour, the
Beach Boys rolled into the freshly minted Sands
Event Center in Bethlehem on May 17.
For the first time in more than a decade, Brian
Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston
along with almost original member David
Marks, who had replaced Jardine for a few years
while Jardine attended dental college and played
on the groups first wave of hits were on the same
stage at the same time.
And it was everything a Beach Boys fan could
have hoped for and more.
Coming to the stage with Do It Again, a song
from 1968 that was the first glimpse of the newly
reunited Beach Boys when a new version was re-
leased online a fewmonths ago, the showwas off to
a glorious start.
Over the next two hours, the group, augmented
by 10 additional musicians and singers, took the
sold-out crowd on a whirlwind tour of 46 Beach

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
In your opinion, excessive
flirting just looks ridicu-
lous. You know exactly
how thick to lay on the
flattery and attention.
Youll like what comes
from using your talent for
flirting appropriately.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Your ability or inability
to accomplish something
is defined solely by your
will. If you want something
enough, you will do what it
takes to get there regard-
less of the obstacles you
encounter.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Your sign mate Walt
Whitman said, Keep your
face always toward the
sunshine and the shad-
ows will fall behind you.
Given your optimistic
mood, that will be an easy
thing to do now.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Socially conscious, youre
worried about making
things all about you or
pulling too much focus
from the rest of the
group. But dont worry.
Youre supposed to be
the central character in
todays story.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
day features lingering feel-
ings and a tendency to go
over (and over) the recent
past in your mind. It will
benefit you to stop reread-
ing this chapter of your
life so you can start writ-
ing a new one.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
If it seems too good to
be true, thats probably
because you just havent
worked out in your
head whats in it for the
other person. Realizing
all the other person has
to gain will impact your
decision.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Perhaps no one will throw
a parade for you if you
take time to do simple
things the right way. But
theres a certain sacred
elegance in adhering to
your own quiet method.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Your day is best summed
up by the French expres-
sion cest la vie. In other
words, that is just the way
life is. Acceptance is key to
staying emotionally even,
which is the most powerful
way to be.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Contrary to the saying,
you absolutely can judge
a book by its cover. You
wont know the story, but
youll certainly know the
sensibility of the publisher
and author. Trust your first
impression.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Your solid earth-sign
nature keeps you cau-
tiously guarded against
the wave of change, a
wave that is going to crash
regardless of how you
feel. The prospect is either
exciting or scary. Or both.
Definitely both.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). The future is knitted
together out of the yarn of
the present. So by being
and interacting fully in the
present, you are forming
the future. A playful, joyful
present equals a future of
the same feeling.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
The compassion you give
to yourself is the most pre-
cious kind. Youll have the
sense that all is forgiven.
Truly you can let bygones
be bygones and begin
anew at any moment.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (June
10). An important gain is
made in the next 10 weeks.
This is what youve been
working toward, and its
finally happening for you!
Family bonds are strength-
ened with the help of
friends and outside coun-
sel. Youll travel in a tight
group through September.
Theres a financial win
in October. Aquarius and
Taurus people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 4,
19, 24, 15 and 28.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles,
CA 90069
6/10
DEAR ABBY
Couple shy to confess
living arrangements
Dear Abby:
My fiancee,
Jenny, and
I are being
married next
year. Jenny
is a devout
Catholic and is having a dif-
ficult time coming to terms
with the fact that were living
together. We recently moved
out of state as a result of job
transfers and for purely
economic reasons moved
in together.
Now that were about to
be married, Jenny is beside
herself with what to tell
her new parish priest be-
cause shes afraid he will
refuse to marry us if she re-
veals that were living
together.
Abby, I love Jenny very
much, and Im concerned
that this is going to cause
problems between us.
Shes considering not telling
the priest that we live to-
gether because she feels
he wouldnt understand.
Im inclined to agree. Before
we moved, we were living
separately.
Any advice would be
helpful.
Living in Sin in St. Louis
Dear Living In Sin: I dont
know what the policies are
in St. Louis, but some dio-
ceses will not marry couples
who cohabitate unless they
first separate.
You and your fiancee
should go to the priest, ex-
plain the entire situation,
including the economic rea-
sons for your living together,
and tell him you would like
to be married. It may not be
as bad as Jenny fears. The
alternative, starting married
life with a lie, is worse than
separating temporarily.
Dear Abby: My husband of
many years has asked me
to promise him that I wont
inform his family and adult
children when he dies. He
wants no funeral or obituary
nothing to mark his pass-
ing. I am concerned because
his health isnt good and I
must decide soon if I can
make that promise.
His adult children and
their families rarely call,
visit or write to him. They
never send a greeting card
for any occasion. The only
time he hears from them is
when they want something.
He says that since they dont
care about him while hes
living, they wont care when
he dies.
I feel torn about this. Only
a few members of his family
like me. I dont want to cause
more hard feelings. Were my
husband to die next week,
I would be hard-pressed to
obey his final wish. I would
want to notify those few fam-
ily members who would be
hurt if I didnt.
Please print this. Perhaps
his children will see it and
change their ways. But
please dont mention my
name or town.
Between a Rock and a
Hard Place
Dear Between: While I
understand your husbands
desire that his children,
who show no concern for
him, not be notified in the
event of his death, I do not
agree that they should not
be told of their fathers
passing. People who feel
the need to mourn should
be allowed to work through
their grief and achieve clo-
sure. Failure to notify them
will only fuel the fire of re-
sentment they already
feel for you.
In spite of their inatten-
tiveness, the children should
be notified, whether there is
to be a funeral or not. If you
wish to have a memorial ser-
vice of some kind to enable
you and those you care about
to grieve, you should be en-
titled to have a private one.
His children can hold their
own service if they need the
closure.

they would be getting back to-
gether for a newalbumand50th-
anniversary world tour.
The Beach Boys started in
Hawthorne, Calif., in 1961 when
Brian Wilson, along with his
brothers Carl (who died of can-
cer in February 1998) and Den-
nis (the only actual surfer of the
group, who drowned in Decem-
ber 1983), his cousin Mike Love
and friend Al Jardine formed a
group that combined the harmo-
nies of the Four Freshmen with
the spirit and attitude of rock n
roll.
The groups first chart success
with a song called Surfin on a
small, local label led to a con-
tract with Capitol Records, and
soon the hits, at first almost ex-
clusively about surfing and cars,
started coming. Eventually, the
group expanded into other sub-
ject matter and started record-
ing highly regarded masterpiec-
es such as 1966s Pet Sounds,
often considered the greatest al-
bum of all time and influential
oneveryone including The Beat-
les. Singles such as Good Vibra-
tions pushed the boundaries of
music even further.
When all was said and done,
the Beach Boys became the best-
selling American band for both
albums and singles, amassing a
still-record 36 Top 40 hits, and
garnered a Lifetime Achieve-
ment award from the Grammys
and induction into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Brian
Wilson also was inducted into
the Songwriters Hall of Fame in
2000 and received the Kennedy
Center Honors in 2007.
The reunited group, which re-
leased its new album, Thats
Why God Made The Radio, on
Tuesday, will be on the concert
trail through Aug. 25 and al-
ready has played sold-out shows
in Bethlehem and Atlantic City.
Two more shows within driving
distance are approaching: Cam-
den, N.J., onJune16, andBethel,
N.Y., on June 17.
Last year, Mike Love and the
guys called me and asked if I
wanted to get together for a re-
union tour and album, Brian
Wilson said recently in a phone
interview from California on an
off day. And I said yes.
Wilson, notoriously press-shy
and always a challenging inter-
view, kept his answers short and
to the point. He said the set lists
for the shows are mostly dictat-
ed but the band will introduce
new tunes, including additional
songs fromthe newalbum, from
time to time.
At the recent show in Bethle-
hem, for example, the band
played 46 songs in about two
hours on stage, and most were
the big hits you would expect.
The following show in Atlantic
City had pretty much the same
set list with a few minor chang-
es.
Wilson said the new album
took about five months to put to-
gether and should be considered
a collection of songs, not an al-
bum with a unifying theme.
Some of the songs, including the
title track, which has been re-
leased as the first single, date to
1998.
But he also composed a new
clutch of songs with a varied
group of lyricists, including
Love, who famously sued his
cousin over songwriting royal-
ties and writing credits in 1992,
winning $13 million in 1994.
It was fun to write with him
again, Wilson said. He is a
great writer; he really is.
Wilson didnt have much to
say about another collaborator
on the newalbum, Jon Bon Jovi,
who is listed among the credits
with Wilson and Joe Thomas on
album closer Summers Gone.
I wasnt there when they did
it, he explained.
As for the harmonies, Wilson
said they came back with hardly
any effort.
They fell right into place, he
said. Just as good as they were
50 years ago; can you believe
that?

The Beach Boys from left, Bruce Johnston , Al Jardine, Brian

on their reunion tour.

sits somewhere, but a human
being is a walking canvas for
everyone to see. Its exciting.
What do you hope to bring
to the area with your artwork?
Rhi: We want to open it up a
little bit. Years ago painting and
doing art wasnt really a part of
tattooing, but its become that
way. We also want people to
know we arent just tattoo flash
artists; we do all mediums, not
just peoples skin.
Chris: One thing thats mis-
sing now, that was present in
the 1950s, is that you would
drive down Main Street and see
Walters Hardware or Marys
Tailoring, and we want to bring
that personal diversity to the
community. I like the fact that
even though we do tattoos and
artwork, we have people that
hang out here who dont get
tattoos. They just like the vibe
and community sense that we
have.
You also do charity work.
Chris: Weve done events with
Soldiers Angels.
Rhi: We just donated $600 to
the local MS Walk, about a
month ago. We had a day where
100 percent of the proceeds
from the tattoos we did went to
that.
Chris: Im also part of an
ecological organization thats
involved with doing a lot of
clean-up work and re-greening
places that have seen devas-
tation.
Why do you gravitate to-
ward such charity work?
Rhi: Youve got to lead by
example.
Chris: If we can ask Kingston
to put a garbage can in front of
our place, so can the other busi-
nesses. We have an obligation,
as human beings on this planet,
to take care of it and the people
around us.

people and circumstances that annoy
her. Rivers signature sarcasm starts
on page 1 (she dedicates the book to
Sonof Samkiller DavidBerkowitz and
O.J. Simpson) and carries through to
the insulting end acknowledgments.
The vitriolic tone of the book is so
over thetop, it couldonlybesatire, but
some jabs cross the line andmay make
readers cringe instead of cackle. Riv-
ers uses her penas anautomatic weap-
on, firing jokes on the page, with little
prose in between. The zingers are
packed so tightly, you have to wonder
if shes getting paid by the punch line.
Whilemanyclever musings succeed
(If Godwantedme tocook, my hands
would be made of aluminum), others
feel tired, and after a fewchapters, the
unrelenting negativity becomes te-
dious.
Rivers is at her best when she com-
miserates about experiences that irri-
tate us all. Who doesnt hate double
dippers, nose pickers, annoying par-
ents and people who talk during mo-
vies?
Clearly not mellowed by age, Rivers
stays relevant. Her use of foul lan-
guage and raunchy, graphic descrip-
tions of genitalia belie her grandma-in-
Chanel-suit persona. (Many of the fun-
niest quotes are too obscene to print
here.)
The book is also chock-full of con-
temporary pop culture references,
with digs at everyone from Snooki to
the Kardashians to cougars. I hate
women who date much younger men.
I dont ever want to wake up in the
morning and wonder, Is this my date
or did I give birth last night?
When Rivers says she hates every-
one, she means it. She fearlessly
mocks third rail historical figures in-
cluding Ghandi, Anne Frank and Je-
sus. At points, she overreaches and
may lose even the most politically in-
correct readers. Her wrathaimedat
traditionally off-limit targets like can-
cer survivors and 9/11victims isnt
amusing, it just feels mean.
Defenders may say she stays true to
her art by pushing buttons. Whats
missing here is balance. In previous
works, Rivers combined her caustic
approach to life with honesty and vul-
nerability. We know shes as tough as
her gel-manicurednails, but shes writ-
ten about her painful struggles as a
pioneer comedian, working mother
and widow after her husbands sui-
cide. Her human side inspires and em-
powers fans to survive challenges
through laughter. I Hate Everyone
lacks that compassion.
Shes asking readers to swallow a
bitter pill with this book. Shed better
hope they dont choke.
Joan of bark:
Rivers book
spares no one
By BROOKE LEFFERTS
For The Associated Press
I Hate Every-
one ... Starting
With Me (Ber-
kley), by Joan
Rivers
Boys songs, mostly big hits but
also some deep catalog cuts and
a brand-new song.
Pretty much every song was a
highlight. Some, such as Catch
a Wave, Surfin Safari and
When I Grow Up (To Be a
Man), sounded exactly like they
should, and others, such as Cot-
tonfields and Marcella, re-
minded the audience that Beach
Boys music goes much deeper
than just surf and car songs.
Jardines highlight came early
in the show with his great ver-
sionof Cottonfields, whichwas
a big hit for the band in 1970 ev-
erywhere but the United States.
That was followed by Johnstons
showcase, his Disney Girls
(1957) fromthe underrated1971
album Surfs Up.
Backing musician Jeff Foskett,
Brian Wilsons right-hand man
for the past couple of years, filled
in on most of the late Carl Wil-
sons parts, including a scrump-
tious lead on Dont Worry Ba-
by.
The first set then came to a
close with the audience on its
feet and a collection of car songs,
including Little Deuce Coupe,
409, Shut Down and I Get
Around.
The second set began about 25
minutes later with the absolute
highlight of the show: the five
BeachBoys gatheredaroundWil-
sons piano doing some glorious
harmony on Add Some Music
To Your Day. If that was the only
thing offered for the entire show,
the crowdstill wouldhave gotten
its moneys worth.
After a second Jardine lead on
a nice cover version of Califor-
nia Dreamin, the barrage of hits
started with Sloop John B and
Wouldnt It Be Nice.
The show also included some
very touching video tributes to
the fallen Wilson brothers, first
Dennis (who died in December
1983) onhis signature piece For-
ever. The live band backed Den-
nis on the song, while film and
still-photo images of the only
member of the group who actual-
ly surfed filled the giant video
screen.
When it came time for Carls
tribute, Love set the stage with
the following words: No one
could do it as beautifully as he
did, so were not even going to
try.
A 1980 film of Carl Wilson
(who died in February 1998)
singing God Only Knows then
filled the screen as the band and
background singers joined in live
and Carls brother Brian sat mo-
tionless at his piano and silently
watched his brother on the
screen. The audience was just as
moved as his brother, giving the
video of Carls sublime perform-
ance a standing ovation.
The band followed the Carl
videowitha renditionof its latest
single, Thats Why God Made
The Radio, whichalsowill serve
as the title track of the groups
newalbum. Love noted they sold
about 17,000 copies of the then-
unreleased album the previous
day in an hour on QVC.
The barrage of hits continued
with Good Vibrations, Califor-
nia Girls and Help Me, Rhon-
da, and the second set ended
with a fantastic version of the
groups first big hit, Surfin
U.S.A.
The Beach Boys then did a
three-song encore, beginning
with the late-career No. 1 Koko-
mo followed by Barbara Ann
and Fun, Fun, Fun with Brian
Wilson moving from his seat at
the piano to center stage holding
a bass guitar.
For many of us, it was the first
chance to see all of the remaining
original members of the Beach
Boys at the same time. If it was
the final opportunity, it was truly
one to remember.

T
his is not a book thats going to generate negative reviews. It took
courage to write. Any parent reading it will feel blessed that they
cannot empathize.
Its the story of a road trip from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. Buzz Biss-
inger, the author of Friday Night Lights, is driving. His 24-year-old son,
Zach, is the co-pilot. But they arent your typical cross-country tourists.
Zach Bissinger was born three minutes later
than his twin brother and13
1
2 weeks premature.
Youcanboil anegginthree minutes, writes his
dad, and you can determine the very course of a
life in three minutes.
In those three minutes, Zachs brain was de-
prived of enough oxygen to cause permanent
damage. Hell never drive or live alone or have
kids. What he does have is an astounding memo-
ry for facts anddates, fewsocial inhibitions anda
savants knack for navigation.
So off father and son go to revisit the places
theyve lived together. They visit the Chicago
Tribune building where dad worked from 1989-
1992, the school outside Milwaukee where Zach
attempted to attend public kindergarten and
Odessa, Texas, for a reunion with tragic football
star Boobie Miles. Friday Night Lights fans
may be surprisedto learnjust howdysfunctional
the relationship between Bissinger and Miles
has become.
The tone throughout Fathers Day: AJourney
Intothe Mind&Heart of MyExtraordinarySon
is unflinchingly honest. Bissinger isnt fishing
for sympathy. He is not the child I wanted, he
writes. But as the miles unroll and the shared ex-
periences mount, Bissinger comes to appreciate
his sons always-in-the-moment approach to life,
the failure to forget that allows him to forge
connections and stay grounded.
A little more than midway through the book,
theres a touching scene at Six Flags near St.
Louis. Father and son agree to ride something
called Dragons Wing, a tandem bungee jump
froma crane hoisted153 feet in the air. Bissinger
describes the free fall: Zach and I merge into
one, armaroundarm, shoulder against shoulder,
the press of his body against mine. I never had
that when he was an infant in the hospital. He
was almost always attached to the tube of that
ventilator. ... But now he is my lifeline, and I am
his. If we let go of eachother, bothof us will sure-
ly shatter.
Thats as gooda descriptionof paternal love as
youll ever read and reason enough to pick up
this book for the father or son in your life.
Bissinger finds his son on the open road
Fathers Day: A Journey Into the Mind & Heart of My Extraordinary Son
(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), by Buzz Bissinger
The nature of evil, from its ori-
gins to how it manifests itself in
society andthrives, is a time-hon-
ored theme of the mystery genre.
Evil kept at arms length through
theprismof films or novels is hor-
rifying enough. But evil that es-
tablishes itself up close and per-
sonal can freeze the heart.
That battle withthe invasionof
evil is the foundation of the grip-
ping and chilling Bloodman by
Canadian author Robert Pobi.
Bloodman expertly combines
the hardboiled novel with the
psychological thriller for a strong
plot that is terrifyingly real.
While a sense of the supernatural
permeates the story, Pobis skill-
ful plotting makes this aspect as
believable as his realistic look at
the alienation of a family.
Jake Cole is a brutal man, a for-
mer addict turned FBI consult-
ant. He always is on the verge of
destroying himself, but he had
turned a poisonous past around
and built ... for himself ... some-
thing beautiful. His salvations
are his wife and 3-year-old son
and his uncanny ability to find
killers. But Jake doesnt just hunt
ordinary murders; he hunts mon-
sters, who, if he acknowledges it,
have too much in common with
him.
He has returned home to Mon-
tauk, Long Island. Jakes father,
Jacob Coleridge Sr., is in the hos-
pital after nearly destroying his
home and himself in an Alzheim-
er-fuelled rage. Jakes hatred of
his father has kept him away for
28 years. Jake plans to stay only
long enough to put his father in
long-term care. That changes
when Jake agrees to help the lo-
cal sheriff investigate a horrific
murder in a beach-front house.
Pobi briskly moves to a shock-
ing finale, although a pending
hurricane is a device this other-
wise strong story did not need.

HREE FORKS, Mont. An elegant, century-old
hotel, an authentically Western town center and
easy access to limestone caves and historic landmarks
make this southwestern Montana burg worth a stop on
adrivebetweenYellowstoneandGlacier national parks.
With the park-to-park trip covering 370 miles, it can be
driven in a day. But Three Forks, just off Interstate 90
northwest of Bozeman, is too good to pass up, and the
Sacajawea Hotel is practically irresistible, whether trav-
elers are not long out of Yellowstone about 100 miles to
the south, or have driven the 300 miles from East Gla-
cier Park in northwestern Montana.
Built in 1910 to accommodate
Milwaukee Railroad passengers,
the Sac underwent major reha-
bilitation in 2009-10 after Dean
and Hope Folkvord, business
leaders inthe townof about 1,800
residents, bought the place and
set about putting it in shape for
its second century.
The hotel advertises rustic
luxury, including a spa, fine din-
ing and a full bar. The 29 gues-
trooms were redesigned with
modern amenities but retain his-
toric features, including some
clawfoot bathtubs. Chairs on the
wraparound veranda invite
lounging after a stroll through
town or a ride on one of the ho-
tels fat-tire bicycles.
In the lobby rich with dark
wood and leather, theres a
bronze of Sacajawea, the young
Shoshone woman who was an in-
terpreter andguide for part of the
Lewis and Clark expedition of
1804-06.
Out of the hotels front door
and down the steps, its an easy
walk to Main Street attractions.
A former bank that is on the
National Register of Historic
Places houses the Headwaters
Heritage Museum. Its holdings
include a log cabin from the
1860s, a dugout canoe used in a
TV documentary about the Le-
wis and Clark expedition and old
dental equipment sure to inspire
gratitude for the modern care of
teeth. Theres also a collection of
barbed wire in its many forms.
Down the street, the scent of
tanned leather drifts from a sad-
dlery, and petunias grow in a cat-
tle-watering trough on the side-
walk. Another store houses Outa
Ware, an outdoor-clothing busi-
ness runby a former ski patroller,
Andy Tuller, whoworkedat Mon-
tanas Big Sky resort, couldnt
findmittens that passedthe dura-
bility test, made some for himself
and ended up launching a busi-
ness. In Three Forks, Tuller sews
jackets and other built-to-last
garbsoldoff the rackandthrough
customorders. Shop hours are ir-
regular; people planning stop in
should call ahead.
From Three Forks, its just a
four-mile drive to Missouri Head-
waters State Park, the place reac-
hed by the Lewis and Clark expe-
ditioninlateJulyof 1805after the
party traveled more than 2,500
miles, from Missouri. This delta,
also a National Historic Land-
mark, is where the Jefferson, Ma-
dison and Gallatin rivers con-
verge to form the headwaters of
the Missouri River.
In his journal, Meriwether Le-
wis wrote about the clarity of the
water in three noble streams.
The National Park Service and
others describetheplaceas being
muchlike it was inthe time of the
expedition. The park, also acces-
sible by way of a bike path from
Three Forks, offers interpretive
displays and walking trails.
Nineteen miles from Three
Forks, Lewis and Clark Caverns
State Park offers visitors close
looks at stalactites, stalagmites
and other limestone formations.
Besides guided cave tours, the
park has interpretive programs.
Trails beckon hikers and bicy-
clists, and there are picnic areas.
Another destination reached
easily is Madison Buffalo Jump
State Park, about 14 miles south-
east of town. Inprehistoric times,
buffalo incited to stampede tum-
bled off cliffs and Indians then
procured the meat and hides. Be-
sides providing information
about that drama, MadisonBuffa-
lo Jump offers sweeping views of
the Madison River valley in re-
turn for a hike on the rocky prom-
inence once pounded by hooves.
After a visit to a park, or more
than one of them, dinner at the
Sacajawea awaits. The menu in-
cludes a variety of beef entrees,
ale-braised bison, peppered duck
breast, pistachio-crusted scal-
lops and vegetarian corn crepes.
For a memorable twist on the
before- or after-dinner cocktail,
arrange to ride in the hotels 1969
Checker stretch limousine to the
old mining town of Pony, popula-
tionabout100. Thedriver will de-
liver passengers to its bar, de-
scribed by the Bozeman Daily
Chronicle as Ponys living room,
and get them back to hit the Sac
for the night.

SOUTH MAIN STREET
REVITALIZATION PROJECT
CITY OF PITTSTON
The Redevelopment Authority of the City of
Pittston is implementing a revitalization
project known as the South Main Street
Project. The Project is focused on the
area bounded by South Main, Spring,
Kennedy and Charles Streets.
The Authority is selling a major cleared
parcel of land situate at Spring and South
Main Streets known as 40-46 South Main
Street. A significant new commercial
development will be developed on this site
by PizzMar Development Inc. The devel-
oper requires additional land fronting
South Main Street to make the new devel-
opment feasible. Two contiguous parcels
of land on South Main Street owned by
Reilly Building, L.L.C. and identified as 36-
38 South Main Street are needed for the
new development. These parcels are cur-
rently being used by Reilly Associates for
parking.
The Authority has purchased two (2)
parcels of land situate at 19-19 Kennedy
Street and 21-23 Kennedy Street and
PizzMar Development, Inc. will be trans-
ferring to the Authority for $1.00 a portion
of the property located at 8 Spring Street
so that the new South Main Street com-
mercial development project can proceed.
In addition, Reilly Building, L.L.C. will trans-
fer to the Authority a portion of its 36-38
South Main Street property in exchange
for a portion of the property located at 19-
19 Kennedy Street, the property located
at 21-23 Kennedy Street and a portion of
the property located at 8 Spring Street.
This land does not have any frontage on

reasonable substitute property suitable for
parking close to South Main Street. The
Authority is also transferring to PizzMar
Development Inc.: (1) the Authoritys land
situate at 40-46 South Main Street in
exchange for fair market value; (2) a por-
tion of the 36-38 South Main Street prop-
erty; and (3)a portion of the property
located at 19-19 Kennedy Street, for the
new commercial development project.
