Petra Kvitova claimed the

first Grand Slam title of


her career with a 6-3, 6-4
upset of 2004 champion
Maria Shara-
pova on
Saturday,
as the

cool under
pressure to
stun the heavily favored
Russian fifth seed. Shara-
pova was badly let down
by a shaky serve, which
produced six double
faults in the 82-minute
defeat.

For most hotel operators, the
fear of losing business from the
once-controversial Luzerne
County room tax did not materi-
alize.
Since the Luzerne County Ho-
tel Tax went into effect 15 years
ago on July 1,
1996 more
than $25 mil-
lion has been
collected and
used to pay off
the construc-
tion debt of the
Mohegan Sun
Arena at Casey
Plaza and to promote tourism in
the county.
At the time, the idea of a 5 per-
cent a night room tax was met
withconsternationbysomehotel
owners and a lawsuit to stop it by
others. No other county inNorth-
eastern Pennsylvania had levied
such a tariff and some hoteliers
believed it was not only unjust
but illegal.
In the years since the tax was
instituted, other counties across
the state have done the same,
AREA ECONOMY
Hotel tax

Bitterly disputed in 1996, the
levy did not have the dire
consequences some feared.

In the last days of December
1910 and the first days of January
1911, photographer Lewis Hine
took 44 images of mine workers
in Luzerne County. The iconic
photographs reveal a glimpse of
what life andworkwas like inthe
anthracite coal fields of the
WyomingValleyat thebeginning
of the 20th century.
Two years earlier, Hine had
embarked on a photojournalism
expedition, determined to cap-
ture the faces of child laborers
throughout America for the Na-
tional Child Labor Committee
For 9 years, he traversed more
than 30 states capturing more
than5,000imagesonhisjourney,
helping to illuminate the pan-
demic of child labor in the early
20th century.
The great social peril is dark-
ness and ignorance. Light is re-
quired. Light! Light in floods!
said Hine.
While the light of Hines pho-
tography changed child labor
laws throughout the country, his
success was temporary. The en-
gines of industrialization roared
on, overrunning most of the pro-
gress Hine had made. The sub-
jects of his photographs moved
on as well. After turning their
backs to Hines lens and resum-
ing work at the glass factories,
mills, andmines across the coun-
try, many forgot that they hadev-
er been photographed. The his-
toryof childlabor, it seemed, was
I FIND HISTORY enjoyable, but I wanted to
take history back to the home, where it belongs.

Edward Schechter, known to many as a
visionary, tireless advocate for the com-
munity and friend, died Saturday at his
Shavertown home.
He was 91and had been battling a debil-
itating disease for years, but met regularly
with a small group to discuss a wide range
of topics over breakfast as he had done
since moving to the region fromNewYork
City in the late 1950s.
He was active and interested in every
phase of community life, said former
state Sen. Charles D. Lemmond Jr.
Hewas agoodbusinessmanandhewas
community-oriented and he was people-
oriented too.
Lemmond, 82, was oneof theregulars at
the breakfast meetings that as of late had
been at Schechters home due to his de-
clining physical health.
The stalwart Republican Lemmond and
the liberal Democrat Schechter agreed on
very little politically, but their conversa-
tions were engaging and enjoyable, said
the former legislator.
He had an educated mind, but never
stopped learning or working. It was a de-
light to speak with him, said Lemmond.
Schechter graduated from Dartmouth
College and the Harvard Business School.
He came to Wilkes-Barre where he was
president of the Stressteel Corp. He is sur-

HAZLETON The Hazleton
area openedits Fourthof July cel-
ebration on Saturday with its
12th annual Hold Your Flag
High Day at Harman Geist Sta-
dium, anevent that for many resi-
dents has become part of their
family tradition.
The fireworks are something
that we really look forward to,
an enthusiastic Greg Lesniak
said early in the evening. We try
to make it every year.
Theevent is, after all, anoppor-
tunity for city residents to cele-
brate the Fourth of July weekend
in a family-focused atmosphere.
The first 5,000 children who
came though the gates got a
small Americanflag, andvendors
offered various types of food, in-
cluding funnel cakes and pierogi.
Many who attended reflected
on the history of the stadiumand
its activities.
Harman Geist Stadium was
once a center for many communi-
ty events, said resident Tony Pa-
celli.
He especially remembered
football games that took place
there in the 1970s.
We are looking forward to the
stadium again being utilized for
community activities such as
this.
Jesse Grobelny, deputy direc-
tor of Hazletons Recreation De-
partment, emphasized that the
event title referenced the flag be-
cause it was intendedtobe a time
of true patriotism and honor for
the nation.
Grobelny credited department
Director TonyFarnell withensur-
ing sufficient funding for the
event and retaining one of the
best fireworks displays provided
in the area. He said Farnell had
been key to the success and
growth of the event during the
last 12 years.
We expect a fireworks display
that we are really proud of, said
Grobelny, one that can favorably
compare with any other in the ar-
ea.
The crowd that attended the
event seemed to enjoy the food,
fellowship and festivities, which
signified diversity as well as pa-
triotism.
Lena Kotanski, who was at the
stadium promoting First Night
Hazleton, which will be an alco-
hol-free New Years Eve celebra-
tion for families in the area, said
that family-based community ac-
tivities are meant to improve city
spirit and to provide fun for city
residents in a safe environment.
Hazleton celebration blasts off

WEST HAZLETON Two
men robbed Panzarella Jewel-
ers Saturday morning and as-
saulted the owner and an em-
ployee before fleeing, police
said.
Police provided the follow-
ing account: The men entered
the store at 29 E. Broad St.
around 10:10 a.m. and asked
about purchasing diamond
jewelry. After employee Don-
na Shade, 62, summoned the
owner Joseph Panzarella, one
of the men jumped over the
counter and tackled her, tak-
ing cash and other items from
her pockets. Panzarella, 77,
tried to intervene and strug-
gled with the two men. One
of the men was holding what
the victims believed could
have been a gun. The men re-
moved jewelry from the dis-
play cabinets while threaten-
ing to kill Shade and Panza-
rella if they tried to inter-
vene.
The men fled the store and
were seen getting into an ol-
der model sedan, possibly a
tan, Dodge Intrepid with the
last four digits 7014 or 7041
in the license plate. The vic-
tims last saw the car traveling
north on Fifth Street.
The robbers are described
as Hispanic males of average
build and height, in their 20s
or 30s. They wore dark cloth-
ing, possibly gray or black.
One of the men had longer
hair, possibly in a pony tail.
One of the men suffered a
cut and had a large clump of
brown hair pulled from his
head, police said.
Shade of West Hazleton and
Panzarella of Hazle Township
declined medical treatment at
the scene.
Hazleton and state police
and West Hazleton Ambu-
lance assisted borough police.
Anyone with information
on the men or the vehicle is
asked to contact borough po-
lice by way of Luzerne Coun-
ty 911 at 570 819-4916. All in-
formation will be kept confi-
dential, police said.

EXETER TWP. A Danville
man fishing in the Susquehanna
River Saturday afternoon was
rescued after his boat capsized.
Terry Snyder, 58, was a little
shaken up, but not injured and
his plans were temporarily put
on hold.
Im trying to fish the Susque-
hanna from the New York bor-
der to the Chesapeake Bay, he
said.
He put in his aluminum, flat
bottom boat at public launch up-
stream earlier in the day. Snyder
said he caught a catfish and was
fishing for carp.
When he dropped anchor it
caught a rock and the force of
the current caused the water to
come over the top of his boat, he
said.
Snyder estimated he was in
the water holding on to his boat
for 30 minutes as it drifted
downstream in the middle of the
river. Two life vests and fishing
gear were underneath the boat
I was paddling, hoping I got
it back to shore, he said.
Anthony Morreale, 28, of Pitt-
ston and friends were driving
north on state Route 92 to a
campsite when he saw Snyder
and the boat.
Morreale said he called Lu-
zerne County 911 around 3:35
p.m.
A guy from across the street
had a canoe, said Morreale.
He and the man with the ca-
noe, Don Corcoran, 72, went out
to rescue Snyder.
At first he was just hanging
on, said Corcoran who, from
his house along the river, spot-
ted Snyder.
As Corcoran was taking down
his canoe, Morreale helped him
and they put it in the water. Cor-
coran said he had only one pad-
dle.
Next thing you know he
jumped in the boat, said Corco-
ran of Morreale.
Snyder wanted to climb into
the canoe, but Corcoran said he
told him to hang to the side as
he paddled to shore.
Hes not the first I guy I
pulled out of the river, said Cor-
coran.
Still wet up to his knees, Cor-
coran met Snyder as members
of the Exeter Township fire de-
partment and others carried the
boat along the shore on their
way through the brush to the
roadway. Snyder thanked Corco-
ran for his help.
Man rescued from river

PRINGLE Betsy Ellis loved acting
and singing so much, she got a masters
degree in musical theater and a mas-
ters of fine arts. How did she end up
retiring as administrative director at
West Side Career and Technology Cen-
ter?
Maybe it was fate. Asked her favorite
summer stock performance, she re-
counts playing four blue-collar workers
in a stage rendition of Studs Terkels
Working.
I played a migrant tomato picker, a
cleaning lady, a switchboard operator
and a seamstress, the Plains Township
native recalled.
Appropriate for a person who spent
21 years working as an administrator
starting as principal in a school that
trains high school students for work in
fields such as automotive repair, health
care and culinary arts.
But despite her long love affair with
performing singing and playing key-
board with a local band, directing choir
and playing organ at her church the
62-year-old concedes it may have been a

WASHINGTON U.S. Rep. Lou Bar-
letta says Pennsylvania and other
states need more power to decide how
best to protect waterways from pollu-
tion.
Thats why the freshman Republican
from Hazleton says he is backing a bill
giving states final approval over an
array of clean water regulations affect-
ing everything from rivers and streams
to mountain-top
mining operations.
Environmentalists
and the U.S. Environ-
mental Protection
Agency charge that
the legislation, which
is co-authored by the
GOP chairman and
top Democrat on the
House Transportation and Infrastruc-
ture Committee, would undermine
decades of progress cleaning up water-
ways made under the federal Clean
Water Act.
The bill would prevent the EPA from
even offering its views on whether a
proposed project that pollutes or even
destroys lakes, streams and wetlands
violates the Clean Water Act, removes
the agencys existing coordination role
in overseeing the law and eliminates
the careful state/federal balance es-
tablished under the federal law, says
an analysis by the EPA of the legisla-
tion co-authored by GOP Rep. John
Mica of Florida and Democratic Rep.
Nick Rahall of West Virginia.
The bill would overturn almost 40
years of federal legislation by prevent-
ing the EPA from protecting public
health and water quality, the EPA
analysis charges. The bill would sig-
nificantly undermine the EPAs long-
standing role under the CWA to en-
sure that state water quality standards
protect clean water and public health
and comply with the law.
Nearly three dozen House members
are co-sponsoring the legislation, most
of them Republicans.
But a spokesman for Barletta, of the
11th Congressional District, notes that
several Pennsylvania Democrats also
are co-sponsors: Reps. Jason Altmire of
the 4th District, Mark Critz of the 12th
District and Tim Holden of the 17th
District.
Ignoring state rights
The EPA has once again shown its
desire to ignore states rights by delay-
ing permitting and reversing establish-
ed protocol and decisions, said Shawn
Kelly, Barlettas spokesman. The
EPAs regulatory overreach has cost
many American jobs, burdened small
businesses, and stalled our economic

walked dogs wearing adopt me ban-
dannas, while adoptable kittens played
in their pens.
At times the two would nearly meet
nose-to-nose in interspecies photo ops.
They were at Starbucks at the
Wilkes-Barre Township Marketplace
on Saturday as part of a Luzerne Coun-
ty SPCA adoption day.
The purpose of the event was to not
only find homes for the animals that
were there, but to also spread the idea
that adopting is a great viable option
when looking for a pet.
Cordelia Braun, Starbucks manager,
said the coffee shop tries to hold at
least two fundraising events every
month.
"Its about the sixth time we are do-
ing something like this with the
SPCA," she said.
SPCA Education & Volunteer Direc-
tor Cary Moran said the shelter holds
outings like this nearly every weekend.
Raffle tickets were sold for chances to
win a gift basket from Starbucks and
even gift baskets for furry friends. A
wide variety of different dog breeds
were showcased, including a pure
breed Alaskan malamute and a pit bull
terrier mix named Janice.
Every dog at the event was well
trained and most even knewtricks like
how to shake.
The adoption fee for a dog through
the SPCA is $95, which includes spay-
ing or neutering, vaccines, microchip-
ping, ID tag, and collar. The fee for
adopting a kitten is $50, which in-
cludes spaying or neutering, vaccines,
microchipping, ID tag, collar, and
FELV test.
Throughout the summer the SPCA
is also offering cats 1 year or older free
to a good home. Animal lovers not in a
position to adopt can always help in
other ways by volunteering or donat-
ing money or much needed supplies
like paper towels, toys, and food.
The SPCA will hold another adop-
tion day event Saturday at PETCO at
the Wilkes-Barre Township Commons
from10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Coffee shop hosts SPCA fundraiser

Times Leader Correspondent
Its beenmore thana monthsince the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
hosted a public forumto allay fears of a
cancer cluster in Pittston, and the Men-
ichini family is still worried.
TheMenichinis wereinstrumental in
calling public attention to the alleged
cancer cluster around the Butler Mine
Tunnel, an EPASuperfund cleanup site
that underlies Pittston, which prompt-
ed the EPA to hold a public meeting
with the state Department of Environ-
mental Protection, thefederal Bureauof
HealthandServicesandother agencies.
The family began collecting data
about cancer inthear-
ea of Mill and Carroll
streets after Chuck
Menichini was diag-
nosed in February
with large B-cell lym-
phoma, a disease his
doctor told him has
an environmental
cause.
EPA representatives said at the May
24meetingtheydont plantodoanyad-
ditional testing at the site, and, despite
pressure from lawmakers and Pittston
residents, they still dont.
EPA will continue to monitor the
contamination source area and con-
tinue to monitor the Butler Mine Tun-
nel outfall to the Susquehanna River,
EPA Region 3 spokesman Roy Seneca
saidinanemail Thursday. At this time,
EPA has no plans to conduct any addi-
tional sampling.
But residents of Carroll Street, Mill
Street and the surrounding neighbor-
hood are continuing to press the gov-
ernment to investigate the alleged can-
cer cluster, and are looking toward oth-
er potential sources of environmental
contamination, including an alleged
dump site beneath Stauffer Point.
Stauffer Point, which straddles the
border of Pittston, Pittston Township
and Hughestown, is a wooded area and
former park that runs along one side of
Butler Street and which is partially oc-
cupied by a recently constructed hous-
ingdevelopment, Stauffer Point, andan
older development, Stauffer Heights.

the area being used as a dump or land-
fill.

CHICAGO
Death penalty abolished
A
fter spending years at the center of
heated national debate over capital
punishment, Illinois death row official-
ly died Friday when a state law abolish-
ing the death penalty quietly took
effect.
The state garnered international
attention when then-Republican Gov.
George Ryan declared a moratorium in
2000 after several inmates death sen-
tences were overturned and he cleared
death row three years later. One man
who came within 48 hours of being
executed was among those later de-
clared innocent.
The fate of executions in the state
was sealed in March when Democratic
Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation end-
ing the death penalty, following years
of stories of men sentenced to death
for crimes they did not commit and
families of murder victims angrily
demanding their loved ones killers pay
with their own lives.
Illinois has executed 12 men since
1977.
SANAA, YEMEN
Troops missing after battle
Dozens of Yemeni troops went mis-
sing after a battle with al-Qaida-linked
militants at a sports stadium in the
countrys increasingly lawless south, a
military official said Saturday, describ-
ing a new setback for a weakened re-
gime already facing an array of oppo-
nents.
Meanwhile, President Ali Abdullah
Saleh, who has been treated in a Saudi
hospital since an attack on his palace a
month ago, remains bedridden and has
difficulty breathing and talking, Yeme-
ni officials said, revealing new details
about the extent of his injuries. His
condition cast doubt on repeated
claims by his aides that his return to
Yemen is imminent.
PARIS
Woman dies from E. coli
A 78-year-old French woman died
early Saturday morning from complica-
tions of E. coli infection but a doctor
said she was not suffering from the
strain that has infected many other
people in France and Germany.
The woman had been hospitalized in
Bordeaux in southwest France since
June 24 with hemolytic uremic syn-
drome the rare kidney condition
affecting a small number of people
infected with E. coli.
Dr. Benoit Vendrely at Bordeaux
Hospital said the strain of E.coli the
woman was infected with was not the
one implicated in the deaths of 48
people in Germany and one each in the
United States and Sweden. He didnt
identify the source of the French wom-
ans E. coli contamination.
LOS ANGELES
Mariachis forming union
The musicians looking for work at
the citys famed Mariachi Plaza are
singing a lot of ai-yai-yais these days.
With the number of gigs plummeting
by more than half over the past two
years, competition has gotten so cut-
throat at the square that fistfights and
shouting matches have erupted as
musicians underbid each other to land
scarce jobs.
Now a group of veteran plaza musi-
cians have banded together to form a
type of mariachi labor union to stop
what they call mariachi pirates from
slashing prices to half the going rate.
Mariachi is culture and its the way
we earn our living, said guitarist Artu-
ro Ramirez, president of the United
Mariachi Organization of Los Angeles.
We have to protect it. This is unfair
competition.
But others complain the new orga-
nization simply aims to muscle out
lower-priced competitors.

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. With fire-
fighters holding their ground against
the largest wildfire ever in New Mex-
ico, officials at the nations premier nu-
clear weapons laboratory and in the
surrounding city planned for the return
of thousands of evacuated employees
and residents.
The blaze was several miles upslope
Friday from Los Alamos National Lab-
oratory, boosting confidence that it no
longer posed an immediate threat to
the facility.
Thousands of experiments, includ-
ing those on two supercomputers and
studies on extending the life of 1960s-
era nuclear bombs, have been put on
hold because of the fire.
I anticipate that we are going to be
able to bring the laboratory back up in
a way thats smooth and continues to
maintain the safety and security that
were responsible for, Lab Director
Charles McMillan said.
Authorities didnt give a timetable
for when they would lift evacuation or-
der that began Monday for the town of
Los Alamos, home to 12,000 people.
But some county workers were already
back to prepare for the eventual rush of
utility service calls, as well as possible
flooding from surrounding mountain-
sides denuded by the wildfire.
Joe Reinarz, a fire official who had
also worked at one of the large Arizona
wildfires this season, said the fire did
not grow significantly on Friday and
that containment lines were holding
but were no guarantee.
Everything weve seen this summer
doesnt indicate that an old fire is going
to stop much. Its unusually dry in the
Southwest, he said.
The fire has blackened more than162
square miles in the last six days, mak-
ing it the largest in New Mexico histo-
ry. Erratic winds and dry fuels helped it
surpass a 2003 fire that took five
months to burn through 94,000 acres in
the Gila National Forest.
A key challenge Friday was stopping
the flames from doing more damage to
the lands of Santa Clara Pueblo. The
fire had made a run north toward the
reservation earlier this week, hitting
the pueblos watershed and cultural
sites.
Los Alamos residents returning
Blaze appears to no longer be a
threat to the nations premier
nuclear weapons laboratory.

and liberals have a nightmare vi-
sion of the Supreme Courts fu-
ture: President Barack Obama is
defeated for re-election next year
and Justice Ruth Bader Gins-
burg, at 78 the oldest justice,
soon finds her health will not al-
lowher to continue onthe bench.
The new Republican president
appoints Ginsburgs successor,
cementing conservative domina-
tion of the court, and soon the
justices roll back decisions in fa-
vor of abortion rights and affirm-
ative action.
But Ginsburg could retire now
and allow Obama to name a like-
minded successor whose confir-
mationwouldbe inthe hands of a
Democratic-controlled Senate.
She has in her power the ability
to prevent a real shift in the bal-
ance of power on the court, said
Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the
University of California at Irvine
law school. On the other hand,
theres the personal. How do you
decide to leave the United States
Supreme Court?
For now, Ginsburgs answer is,
you dont.
There are few more indelicate
questions to put to a Supreme
Court justice, but Ginsburg has
said gracefully, and with appar-
ent good humor, that the presi-
dent should not expect a retire-
ment letter before 2015.
She will turn 82 that year, the
same age Justice Louis Brandeis
was when he left the court in
1939. Ginsburg, who is Jewish,
has saidshe wants to emulate the
courts first Jewish justice.
Ginsburg
not leaving
high court
The oldest justice will not
step down now to allow
Obama to name a successor.
VATICAN CITY The Vatican re-
turned to profit last year after three
years in the red but donations from the
faithful fell nearly $15 million, or 18 per-
cent, amid tough economic times and
the explosion of the priest sex abuse
scandal.
The Vatican issued its annual finan-
cial report Saturday, saying it made a
profit of (euro) 9.85 million ($14.3 mil-
lion) in 2010 following a loss of (euro)
4.01 million ($5.8 million) a year earlier
and losses in 2007 and 2008.
Revenues were (euro) 245.2 million
($356.1 million) against expenses of
(euro) 235.35 million ($341.8 million).
In a statement, the Vatican said the re-
sults showed a continuing positive
trend that began in 2009 but was ham-
pered then by the effects of the global
financial downturn.
The separately administered Vatican
city state also turned a (euro) 21.04 mil-
lion ($30.6 million) profit, thanks pri-
marily to booming ticket sales at the
Vatican Museums.
But donations from individuals world-
wide, the so-called Peters Pence, were
down US$14.8 million at US$67.70 mil-
lion in 2010, an 18 percent drop from
the year before. No explanation was giv-
en in the statement.

KABUL, Afghanistan De-
spite U.S. reports of progress
on the battlefield, American
troops were killed in the first
half of this year at the same
pace as in 2010 an indication
that the wars toll on U.S. forces
has not eased as the Obama ad-
ministration moves to shift the
burden to the Afghans.
While the overall interna-
tional death toll dropped by 14
percent in the first half of the
year, the number of Americans
who died remained virtually
unchanged, 197 this year com-
pared with 195 in the first six
months of last year, according
to a tally by The Associated
Press.
Americans have been in-
volved in some of the fiercest
fighting as the U.S. administra-
tion sent more than 30,000 ex-
tra troops in a bid to pacify ar-
eas in the Talibans southern
heartland and other dangerous
areas. U.S. military officials
have predicted more tough
fighting through the summer
as the Taliban try to regain ter-
ritory they have lost.
President Barack Obama has
begun to reverse the surge of
American forces, ordering a re-
duction of 10,000 by the end of
the year and another 23,000 by
September 2012.

fatedfor obscurity, andwithit, the
stories of the men and boys of the
Wyoming Valley whose images
were captured by Hine.
Nearly100 years later, Joe Man-
ning embarked on an expedition
toreclaimthehistoryof Americas
industrial roots. Manningbecame
fascinated with images taken by
Hine, though he has rarely had to
leavehis homeinFlorence, Mass.,
to pursue the stories of the people
in those images.
Manning has nonetheless reco-
veredthe stories of more than250
of them: tales of perseverance,
pain, and victory. Starting in 2005
he has worked fervently to re-
claimmore, before they are lost to
the shadows of time forever, and
also to show the children and
grandchildrenof those whoposed
for Hine a long-forgotten facet of
their ancestors.
Mannings quest begins
Manning, 70, began his project
the way Hine started his: he was
given an assignment. Elizabeth
Winthrop, celebrated childrens
author and good friend to Man-
ning, had found Hines photo-
graph of a young girl working in a
cotton mill around the turn of the
20th century through the Library
of Congresss website, whereall of
Hines photographs taken for the
ChildLabor Commissionare now
located.
The photo inspired Winthrops
childrens novel Counting on
Grace, the story of a promising
student in Vermont who must de-
fer her education to help support
her family. The girl in the novel
was based on the picture, Man-
ning explained, but Elizabeth
didnt know anything about her.
She had made her story up. So
once the book was written she
toldmeOkay, nowI want toknow
the real story. Can you find her?
It was no surprise that she turned
to Manning for help.
As a 1970 graduate of SUNY
Cortland with a BA in sociology
and a former caseworker at the
Connecticut Department of So-
cial Services, Manninghas always
hadaninterest inhearingpeoples
stories. I find history enjoyable,
Manning said, but I wanted to
take history back to the home,
where it belongs. I was boredwith
history that celebrated the rich
and famous.
So bored was he, in fact, that in
2001, after retiring from the Con-
necticut Department of Social
Services, he published Disap-
pearing into North Adams, a
book that chronicled his explora-
tion of North Adams, Mass., a
once-thriving industrial town de-
stroyed by the effects of urban re-
newal andlater givennewlife as a
center for contemporary art.
To write his book, Manning
consulted residents old and
young, photographic archives and
leads from the Internet, all of
which helped galvanize the book
as a testament to collective mem-
oryandthevalueof knowingones
past. He was more than qualified
to track down the story Winthrop
sought, andhedidnot disappoint.
Manning began his quest by
consulting the caption of the pho-
toinquestion. Hinehadidentified
the girl in 1910 as Addie Laird, a
12-year-old cotton mill worker
fromPownal, Vt. While Winthrop
was able to determine that the
girls last name was in fact Card,
she could not find any informa-
tion about her past the 1920 cen-
sus.
Manning persisted, consulting
the same sorts of sources that had
helped himrediscover the history
of North Adams. Within two
weeks, he had identified and con-
tactedCards granddaughter. Two
weeks after that, he stood before
Cards grave. Just after Christmas
2005, Manning interviewed
Cards great-granddaughter. Win-
throp had her story, and Manning
found a new pastime to pursue in
his retirement.
The search for Addie Card
made me aware of the more than
5000 photographs taken by Hine,
and that they were in the public
domain. I was hooked. I wantedto
do for the other children in the
photos what I did with Addie.
With his wife, Caroles, bless-
ing, Manning began investigating
other photographs. And through
his investigation, he would learn
of the hard coal fields of the
Wyoming Valley.
An old story comes to life
Since the journey began almost
six years ago, Manning has spent
his days in his home office, pursu-
ingHines subjects. Manningsaid,
At first, I just started randomly.
Oftentimes, Hine would photo-
graph groups of children, so I
couldresearch5or 6at a time and
get a feel for the town where the
children lived, the places they
worked. Sometimes photos just
looked interesting. Other times,
an interesting name in Hines
notes would come up, one that
would be fairly easy to research.
It was a combination of these fac-
tors that attractedManningtothe
pictures Hine snappedinLuzerne
County.
Someof Hines most iconicpho-
tographs feature a group of boys
fromShaft No. 6 of the Pennsylva-
nia Coal Co. in Pittston. In the se-
ries, Hine shows the boys leading
mules through the mine, picking
coal from shale, and waiting for
the cage to take them back to
ground level at the closing of the
day. According to Manning,
whoseextendedstudyof Hinehas
enabled him to develop his own
insights into the photographers
work, thephotosshot inPittston
and elsewhere endure because
of Hines method.
Hine was not a typical muck-
raker photographer, like Joseph
Riis for example, Manning said.
He didnt want you to feel sorry
for the kids, to make them seem
like dirty immigrants. He took re-
spectful photos to appeal to those
who voted and had political influ-
ence. Hine really did two things:
he promoted the dignity of work
and workers through his photos,
and he advocated for a change in
childlabor laws that wouldenable
kids to go to school and improve
their situations. He wanted the
middle class to look at the photos
andthink I like this kid or These
could be my kids. Hine set the
children for photos in such a way
that you can instantly understand
who they are just by looking in
their eyes.
One child that Manning partic-
ularly connected with was Arthur
Havard, a worker in Shaft No. 6
fromPittston. Atypical muledriv-
er, Havard was a few months shy
of his 14th birthday when Hine
snuck into the mine with his Gra-
flex camera. It was Havards job to
couple the full mine cars together
and to leave an empty car behind
in the work chamber. Despite his
humble beginnings, Manning
thought Havarddisplayeda deter-
mined glimmer in his eye, sug-
gesting he was bound for great
things. WhenManningconnected
with Havards descendents, he
learned his hypothesis was cor-
rect.
Joe Manning found my moth-
ers obituary, William Havard,
Arthurs grandson who lives in
Waverly, Va., explained. The
obituary listed her husband and
my father, Kenneth Havard, who
was Arthurs son. Eventually,
ManningfoundWilliamHarvards
phone number and explained his
project. We knew the photos ex-
isted; myaunt hadthem, William
Havard said. But we never knew
that Lewis Hine took them, or
that they were part of a national
movement to reform child labor.
While he at first considered
Mannings phone call very
strange, William Havard came to
appreciate Mannings efforts
when he realized the validity of
the project. He gladly shared Ar-
thur Havards story. My grandfa-
ther Arthur was always an ex-
traordinarily important person to
this family. He was a genuinely
good, honest manwho was gener-
ous and kind. My first memory is
of him. He never forgot his hum-
ble beginnings, but they didnt
keep him from becoming solidly
middle class and very respected
within the Pittston community.
WilliamHavards cousin, Karen
Sussaman of Shavertown, shared
further proof of Arthur Havards
successful life. My mother Shir-
ley, Arthurs daughter, typed up a
resume for himonce, and she still
has it. Init, hesays that heworked
his way up in the Pennsylvania
Coal Company mines until 1921,
when he became chief mining en-
gineer for the Racket Brook Coal
Company in Carbondale. In1937,
he became an inspector for the
Pennsylvania Coal Mine Section
of the Pennsylvania Compensa-
tion Rating Bureau.
While the Sussamans had the
proof of Arthur Havards success-
ful career, Mannings investiga-
tions into the censuses and other
local records confirmedhis strong
presence in Pittston: Arthur Man-
ning lived on Vine, Church, and
Oak streets in Pittston, and on
MontgomeryAvenueinWest Pitt-
ston later in his life.
Researcher looks ahead
While Arthur Havard spent
most of his lifeinLuzerneCounty,
Manning has never set foot in it.
I grew up in Maryland, so
whenI was driving back andforth
as a college student from SUNY
Cortland, I became familiar with
all the turnpike exits. Ive seenthe
signs for Pittston, Mahanoy City,
and all, but Ive never visited.
Manning thanks the Internet
for being able to conduct his in-
vestigations without traveling far
from home. He has, however, so-
licitedthe helpof various area his-
torical societies and libraries.
The people at the Osterhout Li-
brary [Wilkes-Barre] are really
terrific. Theyve been the most in-
terested and the best to work
with. I will call looking for obitu-
aries or things at times and they
are always very prompt. I usually
get emails back fromthemwithin
a week.
The skills Manning developed
in his 29-year career as a social
worker also help himuncover the
stories of Hines subjects. For a
long time, my specialty as a social
worker was helping people who
walked through the door for the
first time determine their eligibil-
ity for services. I had to be able to
explain things clearly to them,
and to extract information from
them in a non-threatening way.
There were, naturally, things they
often did not want to say, but that
theyneededto. Its just amatter of
knowing the right questions to
ask. I like to think I can make peo-
ple comfortable, that I know how
to talk to them.
WilliamHavardseems toagree.
Joe Manning is a really interest-
ing fellow, he said. He always
didwhat hesaidhewoulddo. If he
said Ill send you this or Ill do
this, it was always done. Ive nev-
er even met him, Ive only spoken
with him on the phone a few
times. I dont even know what he
looks like.
In truth, Mannings resem-
blance to Hine is uncanny. They
share a physical appearance so
similar that once, while speaking
of his research at an event, Lewis
Hines 80-year-old niece asked
Manning, Do you believe in rein-
carnation?
Its possible, Manning joked.
Lewis Hine died in 1940 and I
was born in 1941. But their simi-
larities remain interesting, even if
they are not ethereal. Hine pre-
ferred the comfort of his dark
room and did not partake in any
form of self-promotion. Likewise,
thewonders of theInternet assure
Manning that he can conduct his
research without having to stray
from Florence, Mass., and he cer-
tainly doesnt flout his second ca-
reer.
I dont haveamonopolyonthis
idea. The pictures are available to
everyone. Ill never get bored of
the project, but I wouldnt mind if
a group of people came forward
and wanted to do research, too. I
would say, Thats great. Just let
me know who youre working on,
and Ill look up someone else.
Currently, Manning is working
to unearth more information on
Neil Gallagher, a Wilkes-Barre na-
tive who lost a leg in the Balti-
more Tunnel mine and later
moved to New York City, where
he worked as a truck driver. Man-
ning is also researching Pasquale
Salvo, a young mule driver from
Shaft No. 6.
Manning makes no money on
this project. Infact, it has cost him
around $20,000 plus time these
last five years. While he would
love to write a book on the Hine
children, he maintains a website
to chronicle his findings.
The website is really liberat-
ing, Manning said. I dont have
to beg to be published, and I am
happy to offer all of the stories I
write on the kids for free. I do this
for the pure joy of reuniting photo
andfamily. I never countedonthe
emotional aspect of this project.
In a contemplative turn, Man-
ning mused, Hine took artful
photographs, but he didnt know
the meaning of his own photos.

steered her away from dreams of
Broadway and Hollywood.
She said youre good for
Wilkes-Barre, but if you step on a
stage anywhere else, youll be
blown off.
Ellis shifted gears, but only
partly. Shebecamea music teach-
er at Northwest Area High
School, where she directed plays
as well. And while she says I
loved to teach, when the princi-
pal post at the career center
openedupafter19years at North-
west, she applied.
I thought I could put myself in
a position to make things better
for the kids; thats what made me
go into administration, she said.
She worked her way up to a su-
pervisor post, and was often
tasked with explaining chronical-
ly poor scores on state standar-
dized math and reading tests giv-
en to 11th grade. West Side, she
notes, is a rare breed, a compre-
hensive career center responsib-
le for both academic and profes-
sional training. Most such
schools only get students for half
a day of job training, leaving the
academic classes to the students
home district.
The career center has nothing
to do with a students education
for the first eight years and then
becomes responsible for the11th-
grade test scores. Boosting
scores under such circumstances
is always an uphill battle, Ellis
said.
Shortly before she became ad-
ministrative director, the center
did try tightening admission re-
quirements, mandating that stu-
dents pass English and math be-
fore enrolling at West Side. That
experiment failed for a simple
reason: It was illegal in a public
school requiredtoeducateall stu-
dents, and a lawsuit long set-
tled emphasized the point.
The first year Ellis became ad-
ministrative director was alsothe
first year West Side managed to
meet state-mandated Adequate
Yearly Progress in improving
test scores. When I found out, I
let out a yell so loud they could
hear it across the hall, she said
with a laugh.
Unfortunately, the success has
not been reproduced since. But
Ellis offers a silver lining: Scores
in tests by the National Occupa-
tion Competency Testing Insti-
tute have risensteadily under her
tenure. This year about 72 per-
cent scored proficient or ad-
vanced in those tests.
True, she concedes, NOCTI re-
sults mean nothing when the
state calculates its complicated
Adequate Yearly Progress formu-
la, but they do count toward our
mission of training these stu-
dents for work.
Ellis takes someprideintheex-
pansion of health-related and cul-
inary arts programs during her
tenure. She had hoped to see the
plumbing program expand to a
broader HVAC Heating, Venti-
lation and Air Conditioning
program.
But asked about the most
touching moment in her tenure
at the center, she only has to re-
ach back a few weeks, to gradua-
tion.
I got a diploma, she said with
a grin. I graduated this year.
That was very emotional. They
gave me a standing ovation, and I
couldnt even speak after that.
Whats next for the new grad?
Ellis said she has agreed to work
a fewdays a month evaluating ca-
reer and technology centers for
the state Department of Educa-
tion. All centers are periodically
checked for compliance with
state rules.
Mostly she expects to spend
more time with five little chil-
dren in my extended family, and
take a few sailing trips on a boat
three members of that extended
family plan to buy in Washington
state.
But first, Im going to Disney-
World.
Yes, its a clich thanks to those
old commercials featuring sports
champions. But Ellis has a simple
answer.
I havent had a vacation in six
years.

recovery.
Kelly said that, Everyone has
the same goal of protecting the
health of citizens and preserv-
ing the environment, and this
bill will help to restore a more
healthy balance between states
rights and the federal interest
by bringing back the regulatory
partnership between state and
federal agencies.
Environmental groups dis-
agree, saying the bill would gut
the Clean Water Act and lead to
more polluted waterways.
Noting that the bill is dubbed
by its authors the Clean Water
Cooperative Federalism Act of
2011, Natural Resources De-
fense Council attorney Steve
Fleischli said the legislation
takes cooperation to a whole
new level by stripping EPA of
its ability to protect national
water quality without state-by-
state approval.
Addressing overreach
But after the House Transpor-
tation and Infrastructure last
month approved the legislation,
Rahall said that it is needed be-
cause of EPAs overreach in
approving permits for projects
such as those impacting on coal
mining in his home state of
West Virginia and elsewhere in
Appalachia.
For far too many years now,
my state and others throughout
the Appalachian Region that
produce coal to power our na-
tion have been struggling under
the weight of an uncertain fed-
eral permitting process, said
Rahall.
The bill would provide com-
mon sense protections for
states EPA-approved water
quality standards and permit-
ting authority under the Clean
Water Act. Under practices by
the current EPA, the permits for
surface mines throughout the
Appalachian States have been
bottled up for months. The bill
would help to speed up the per-
mitting process and rein in
EPA, which has imposed new
criteria for permits that have
stymied the process, Rahall
said in a statement.
The bill could reach the
House floor later this summer,
but its prospects are uncertain
in the Senate.

HARRISBURG If Gov. Tom
Corbetts performance in win-
ning passage of a budget is any
sign, he lived up to his campaign
image as a tax-cutting business
advocate. But what about the
part of his campaign where he
pledged to bring transparency,
openness and change to the Cap-
itol?
To review, Corbett, a Republi-
can, signed the budget on time
something that tends to
please counties, schools, service
providers and others who de-
pend on state money to operate.
And he says he has ended
WAMs, short for walking
around money, something he
had pledged in a campaign TV
ad in which he called them mil-
lions of dollars spent on legisla-
tors pet projects with little over-
sight.
However, Corbett:
Negotiated the final budget
deal in private, as did previous
governors.
Agreed to shuffle some new
spending onto the books of the
just-finished fiscal year as well as
a later fiscal year, making his
claim of a 4 percent spending re-
duction substantially inflated.
Refused to sign the budget
until the Legislature approved a
separate policy priority of his, a
practice that Republican law-
makers criticized as hostage-tak-
ing when Corbetts predecessor,
former Democratic Gov. Ed Ren-
dell, did it.
In addition, the budget bill
went to Corbetts desk just two
days after much of the detail in it
became public. Meanwhile, key
legislation to further limit the
ability of school boards to raise
property taxes and major chang-
es sought by Corbett to the man-
agement of public welfare pro-
grams were first unveiled a cou-
ple of days before they were
passed and signed by Corbett.
Asked if the publics opportu-
nity to see these bills before they
became law meets his definition
of changing the culture of Harris-
burg, openness and transparen-
cy, Corbett responded, Would I
like to see everything done soon-
er? Yes. ... I put out a budget on
March 8. The House put out a
budget on May 25. The outside
parameters were out there for
the people. On the various codes
and so forth, its a process and its
a process in motion.
His goal, he said, had been to
sign a budget in May, and he said
his administration will be work-
ing to cut the cost of public wel-
fare programs by running them
more efficiently and looking for
waste, fraud and abuse.
As I urge everybody, you
dont change this overnight. Its a
process, Corbett said.
In the final, dizzying weeks of
lawmaking and closed-door deal
cutting in June, Corbett worked
in private with the leaders of the
House and Senates Republican
majorities to hammer out agree-
ments on major legislation.
In late June, the Corbett ad-
ministration brought a proposal
to Senate Public Health and Wel-
fare Committee Chairwoman Pat
Vance, R-Cumberland, to grant
his regulators broad authority to
fast-track changes to a range of
welfare programs. Democrats,
not to mention the public, didnt
see the proposal until Tuesday
when Vance introduced it as an
amendment; the chambers both
passed it Thursday.
Most details about the budget
werent made public by Repub-
licans until Monday when it
emerged as an amendment; it
passed the chambers by the end
of Wednesday. The property tax
legislation that evolved from
Corbetts negotiations with top
Republican lawmakers emerged
as an amendment Tuesday; it
passed both chambers Thursday.
The Republicans circled the
wagons the last couple weeks,
said Sen. Vincent Hughes, D-Phi-
ladelphia. All this was done on
their own.
Of course, the concept of
changing the culture of Harris-
burg may be in the eye of the be-
holder.
For instance, it could just as
easily mean changing the way
politicians, state agencies and in-
stitutions that rely on state fund-
ing think about spending tax-
payer money, said David Patti,
president and CEO of the Penn-
sylvania Business Council, a Har-
risburg-based business advocacy
group.
Besides, the last six months
wasnt an ideal time or place to
wage a culture-changing fight for
transparency and openness
while dealing with Pennsylva-
nias massive budget deficit, Pat-
ti said.
Still, a constitutional provision
calls for a three-day waiting peri-
od in each chamber before a bill
can reach a final vote. The point
of that is to try to ensure that
each piece of legislation gets a
semblance of public review be-
fore lawmakers vote on it, said
Tim Potts, president of the citi-
zen advocacy group Democracy
Rising Pa.
However, the budget bill, pub-
lic welfare bill and property tax
bill among others signed by
Corbett each circumvented
that process by taking on a major
amendment after going through
the waiting period in a different
form, Potts said.

Corbett checks his watch

in the rotunda of the Capi-

has ended WAMs, short

DESMOINES, Iowa The ac-
celerating GOPpresidential cam-
paigns in Iowa probably will de-
fine front-runner Mitt Romneys
chief challengers over the next
six weeks and could force the for-
mer Massachusetts governor to
reconsider his decision to mount
only modest efforts in this early
voting state.
Rep. Michele Bachmanns
quick rise in popularity in the
leadoff caucus state and former
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlentys
stubbornly low poll numbers af-
ter more than a year of ground-
work in Iowa give Romney new
opportunities in the state where
he has worked to lower expecta-
tions in his second campaign.
Romney may stick with his
plan to tread lightly in Iowa and
look to New Hampshires leadoff
primary for a liftoff in 2012 if
there is no opening for him to
seize as a consensus choice.
But Romneys healthy fun-
draising, with as much as $20
million in the three-month re-
porting period that ended last
week, and his lead in national
polls give him flexibility his less-
known rivals lack and make it
possible for him to wait to see
how the chips fall in Iowa this
summer, and decide later wheth-
er to up his ante.
I think its awfully hard for me
at this stage to predict where
well spend all our time and de-
vote all our resources, Romney
told The Associated Press this
past week. But were focused on
running our race, where we think
best.
Minnesotas Bachmann was on
her first sustained Iowa cam-
paign trip this weekend. Shes
coming off a successful stretch
markedby a well-receivednation-
al debate debut, a widely covered
campaign kickoff in her native Io-
wa and a strong showing in The
Des Moines Registers poll. Bach-
mann nearly matched Romney,
the No. 2 GOP caucus finisher
four years ago, for the early Iowa
lead in the survey.
Criticized for having little cau-
cus campaign heft on her team,
Bachmannhas namedas her dep-
uty national campaign manager
David Polyansky, whos credited
with bringing organizational and
strategic weight to the 2008 cam-
paign of caucus winner Mike
Huckabee.
Bachmann has feet in Chris-
tian conservative and tea party
camps, and will need to quickly
organize within these groups.
Polyansky, whohelpedHuckabee
form relationships with Chris-
tianhome-school advocates inIo-
wa, for instance, can help behind
the scenes. Bachmanns schedule
hadher headlininga tea party ral-
ly in Des Moines on Saturday.
But caucus support is more of-
ten sealed in person than in
crowds at a rally or along a July
Fourth parade route. Bachmann
will have to meet privately with
influential GOP activists, as she
plans to begin this weekend.
Shes also staffing a phone bank
to drum up support for the Aug.
13 straw poll. We cant make
enough personal appearances in
40 days to make that happen,
said Bachmanns Iowa campaign
chairman, Kent Sorenson.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa
Republican candidate Michele
Bachmann spent Saturday shak-
ing hands in Iowa diners and
strolling through bustling farm-
ers market as she tried to cap-
italize on her early popularity in
the state that kicks off the presi-
dential campaign season.
An Iowa native, the tea party
favorite ranked nearly even with
GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney
in a recent poll of Republicans
likely to participate in the states
lead off caucuses next year. But
just six weeks before the states
closely-watched straw poll, the
Michigan con-
gresswoman
has done little
to campaign or
set up an orga-
nization here.
Beginning
her first sus-
tained cam-
paign trip to Iowa as an an-
nounced candidate, Bachmann
introduced herself to audiences
fromIowa City to Des Moines in
a new campaign bus embla-
zoned with her name. She spent
much of Saturday posing for pic-
tures and signing autographs
rather than in meetings with key
GOP activists.
I have every confidence our
team is going to deliver, Bach-
mann told The Associated Press
after meeting about 100 sup-
porters and politically curious
Iowans at a stop in Marshall-
town. I am going to be here in
Iowa campaigning all through
July.
Proof that her Iowa campaign
was still coming together met
Bachmann in Iowa City, where
she met about 100 weekend
breakfast regulars and Republi-
can activists at the Bluebird Din-
er near the University of Iowa.
Local resident Sheila Reiland
told Bachmanns campaign
chairman in the crowded diner
that she signed up last week on
Bachmanns website to volun-
teer but had heard nothing from
any campaign staff.
Bachmann had been weighing
a presidential bid since January
but only beganraising money to-
ward a campaign in June. On
Saturday, she dismissed claims
that she was scrambling to get
organized in Iowa. Bachmann
said she had been laying the
groundwork for her Iowa cam-
paign since last month.
Bachmann gets early start in Iowa ahead of poll
The tea party favorite ranked
nearly even with GOP
frontrunner Mitt Romney.

and there were some burned cars
in there; but, to my knowledge
there was no dump, Pittston
Township Supervisor Stephen Ri-
naldi said.
Former Pittstonmayor andPitt-
ston Redevelopment Authority
Chairman Mike Lombardo also
said he didnt know of and
couldnt findrecordof the area be-
ing used as a dump.
Others recall dump
But residents around the area
said they remember the dump.
It wasnt a dumpthat youwent
and paid to dump there, said
Chuck Menichini. People were
just dumping.
Another man who did not wish
be identified but said he has lived
on Carroll Street for 42 years said
certain companies in the area
dumped trash from a rock ledge
and into an old, now filled-in rail-
road cut inside Stauffer Point dur-
ing the1960s.
Menichini and the other man
both said water pours from the
point and flows down Carroll and
Mill streets during heavy rainfall.
Marie Manganiello, who lives
next to the entrance to Stauffer
Point, also said there was a dump
site on the railroad tracks running
through the area in the1960s, and
pointedout theareawheretheold
railroad tracks running parallel to
Wilson Street go underground in-
to Stauffer Point.
Manganiello, 67, who said she
has lived in Pittston and Duryea
her entire life, said she would like
DEP to investigate the alleged
dump site.
My concern is that the govern-
ment reallyisnt doingwhat needs
to be done to address the issue of
the cancer clusters in this area,
she said. I think they should be
collecting the information.
Yudichak seeks testing
State Sen. John Yudichak, D-
Plymouth Township, on May 31
sent a letter to DEP Secretary Mi-
chael Krancer askingif thedepart-
ment could conduct additional
testing around the Butler Mine
Tunnel.
Understandably, residents
who participated in the May 24th
meeting were not satisfied with
the responses of the EPA, Yudi-
chak wrote. I would like to know
if thedepartment wouldbeableto
conduct additional soil, water, and
air testing so that residents may
get some definitive answers to
their questions.
He also asked DEP to investi-
gate the alleged landfill, explain-
ing that a DEP employee suggest-
ed it may warrant investigation at
the May meeting with the EPA.
DEP Northeast Regional Direc-
tor Michael BedrinsaidDEPis re-
viewing Yudichaks letter and put-
ting together a proposed re-
sponse.

The outsider soon made con-

other local leaders and left a lega-
cy of economic development with
the Committee for Economic
Growth, the Greater Wilkes-Barre
Industrial Fund and the Greater
Wilkes-Barre Partnership.
John Conyngham, 85, a neigh-
bor of Schechter, recalled howthe

It started way back with Gene
Farley, the president of Wilkes
College, said Conyngham. He
was looking for people interested
in moving the community for-
ward.
The group worked at projects
that would benefit the communi-
ty. It sought results rather than
publicity.
I think there are probably
groups like that in many commu-
nities, said Conyngham.
Schechter conceived the idea
for Leadership Wilkes-Barre as an
organizationtodevelopanewgen-
eration of business leaders, said
Michael MacDowell, Ph.D., presi-
dent of Misericordia University.
MacDowell, 64, and Lemmond
visited with Schechter last Thurs-
day.
He was always thinking in the
future, said MacDowell. He was
an inveterate community man
whose spirit was always with the
area.
Former head of the Greater

When people watch a Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins game,
or an Elton John concert or a Cir-
queduSoleil performancelocally,
theyre doingit inanarena that al-
most wasnt.
In the 1995 May county pri-
mary voters rejected a referen-
dumquestion asking whether the
county should guarantee up to
$22 million in revenue anticipa-
tion bonds to fund what is now
the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey
Plaza. The referendum lost by 48
votes.
Then came the idea to seek
state Legislature approval for a
hotel tax, which at the time was
something only done in Philadel-
phia andAllegheny counties the
states two big tourism destina-
tions with hundreds of hotels and
motels.
The successful effort was ledby
Kevin Blaum and Steve Barrouk,
who both were members of the
Luzerne County ConventionCen-
ter Authority at the time.
Blaum, also a Democratic
member of the House, got the bill
through his chamber, but getting
it approved by the Republican-
controlled Senate, in the final
days of the 1993-94 session, was
another story.
He credited then state Sens.
Charles Lemmond, a Dallas Re-
publican, and Ray Musto, a Pitt-
ston Township Democrat, for get-
ting support in the Senate.
It was approvedonthesessions
final day and then-Gov. Robert P.
Casey signed the bill into lawjust
before leaving office.
Without that tax, Blaum said,
the arena would not be here to-
day.
Reminiscingabout the time the
arena vote was being shot down,
thehotel taxwas approvedtosave
the day and then the legal battles
with some hoteliers, Blaum said
he believes the success of the are-
na and the thriving hotel industry
in the county are proof that the ef-
forts were worth it.
Its no burden. The people are
still using our hotel rooms,
Blaum said.
though most are at a lower per-
centage rate.
Its not even an issue any
more, said Merle Mackin, exec-
utive director Luzerne County
Convention and Visitors Bureau.
In the battle hotel owners
waged against the tax, some said
visitors would steer clear of local
lodging and go to a neighboring
county where no such tax ap-
plied. Others believed hotel oper-
ators might view this county dif-
ferently and perhaps locate else-
where.
Courts decided the tax was
constitutional and it began ap-
pearing on guests bills.
A lot has changed in the dec-
ade and a half since, mostly prov-
ing that the tax was not as dire a
deal as some believed, although
at least one steadfast opponent
maintains the tax hurts business.
At least 10 new hotels, motels
or bed and breakfasts have
opened in the county, adding 650
rooms for guests. The arena, the
driving force behind the contro-
versial tax, is thriving and will
celebrate its 12th anniversary in
November.
Dozens of businesses, includ-
ing some hotels, have been built
nearby along Highland Park Bou-
levard, making it one of the
larger retail corridors in the
county.
And for hoteliers, perhaps
most important, other counties
in the region and nation have fol-
lowed suit and implemented
similar taxes, thus leveling the
playing field.
In this region, Lackawanna
County levies a 4 percent tax; the
Pocono Mountain counties of
Monroe, Carbon, Wayne and
Pike, the Endless Mountain
counties of Sullivan, Wyoming,
Bradford and Susquehanna, and
Schuylkill County collect a 3 per-
cent.
Initially it took some time to
get used to the fact there was an
additional fee, Mackin said. But
he said he never once heard con-
crete evidence that visitors went
elsewhere to avoid the tax here.
Opposing viewpoint
Bill Genetti, who owns the
Best Western Genetti Lodge in
Hazle Township, sawit different-
ly at the time.
When a bus tour group is look-
ing to make a stop and they have
40 or 50 people on the bus, he
said thats costing them an extra
$100 or $200 a night to stay in
Luzerne County. Or they could
have driven a few miles to an ad-
joining county where no such tax
existed.
He cant say for sure that hap-
pened, but he believes travelers
did that early on when the coun-
ty was unique in this region to
levy the tax.
Genetti was one of the most
outspoken opponents of the tax
and led the legal efforts against
it. His claim at the time, which
he still stands by, was that the
arena does not bring overnight
visitors to southern Luzerne
County so why should those ho-
tels be responsible for collecting
a hotel tax that supports it.
Wilkes-Barre hotels Im sure
benefit from (the arena), Genet-
ti said. But the same can not, and
to Genettis knowledge, has not,
been said in the Hazleton area.
I think you would have trou-
ble finding a hotelier in the Ha-
zleton area who has gotten one
roomfilled because of the arena,
Genetti said.
W-B area hotels benefit
Hotels in the Wilkes-Barre ar-
ea have clearly benefited from
the arena.
Nadine Howe, general manag-
er at the Best Western East
Mountain Inn in Plains Town-
ship, said the arena has helped
attract visitors and the tax is not
an obstacle.
At the time it was approved,
Howe was a sales manager at the
hotel and said there was some
initial anxiety.
Anytime somethings levied,
theres a concern, Howe said. I
think the concern was there
but I really dont think overall its
factored in.
She said the recession and
high gas prices have done more
damage than the hotel tax ever
did.
But, she added, things seem
to be getting better.
April, the most recent monthly
figures available on the hotel tax,
generated $190,447. Thats the
most ever collected in April since
the tax was first levied.
The same could be said about
the $192,632 collected in March
and the $143,797 generated in Ja-
nuary.
And calendar year 2010 was
the best ever in terms of the ho-
tel tax, with $2.195 million col-
lected, beating the previous high
set in 2007 when $2.081 was
raised.
The tax is collected by most
places where overnight lodging
takes place, with exceptions like
campsites. Most of the revenue is
used to pay off the $22.1 million
in bonds that financed the con-
struction of the Mohegan Sun
Arena at Casey Plaza and 20 per-
cent of it goes to the Luzerne
County Convention and Visitors
Bureau for the promotion of
events and attractions in the
county.
Since 2008, Luzerne County
has taken a 2 percent administra-
tive fee off the top.
Mackin said the hotel tax gen-
erates between 70 and 80 percent
of his offices budget. Without
the tax, tourist promotion activ-
ities would be severely strained.
At a time when gas prices are
high and day trips are gaining
popularity, Luzerne County ben-
efits. Not having the ability to
properly promote the region
would be devastating to the tou-
rism-related businesses, he said.
New hotels built
Not only hasnt the hotel tax
scared hotel operators from
opening facilities in Luzerne
County, some of those that have
opened have done so within the
arenas shadow.
At least 10 hotels or bed and
breakfasts have opened since the
tax went into effect.
Among them are two hotels
that opened near the arena in
2002: The Host Inn & Residen-
tial Suites and the Hilton Garden
Inn. Both are in Wilkes-Barre
Township.
Hotels near the arena were not
the only ones opening. Some al-
so came to the southern part of
the county, including a Fairfield
Inn in West Hazleton in 2002; a
Residence Inn in Hazle Town-
ship and a Candlewood Inn &
Suites in Sugarloaf Township,
both of which opened in 2008;
and a Courtyard by Marriott in
Hazle Township in 2009.
Frank McCabe, president and
chief operating officer of High
Hotels, the Lancaster-based ho-
tel group that operates the Hil-
ton Garden Inn in Wilkes-Barre
Township, said the hotel tax was
no deterrent and the arena was
the driving force for the compa-
ny to look at Wilkes-Barre in the
first place.
We probably would not have
been as interested (in coming to
Wilkes-Barre without the are-
na), McCabe said.
As for the room tax, McCabe
said most travelers do not bat an
eye.
Its a fact of life, like baggage
fees on airlines. Just part of the
price of traveling, he said. The
way I view it, if youre going to
visit an area, youll find a hotel
there. The room tax will not be a
deterrent.
Its grown so much so that only
two counties in the state Fulton
and Perry do not levy such a
tax.

Bill Genetti, right, helped lead the 1996 fight against the hotel
tax. With him is Patrick Genetti.
HARRISBURG Freshman Pennsyl-
vania Gov. Tom Corbett achieved much
of his austerityagenda inthe General As-
sembly this year, but his push to estab-
lish school vouchers collapsed and the
clamor for imposing a levy on natural
gas drilling showed no sign of letting up
as lawmakers began their summer re-
cess.
Lawmakers, lobbyists and outside ob-
servers give the administration mixed
marks overall, but his first-year track re-
cordwas strongthanks toassists from
the Republican majorities in both
houses.
In the end, he was very firmand deci-
sive about what he wanted, said G. Ter-
ry Madonna, a pollster and professor at
Franklin & Marshall College in Lancas-
ter. Well wait to see how the voters re-
act.
Corbett made clear fromthe start that
his No. 1priority was balancing the state
budget in the face of a projected $4 bil-
lion deficit, without violating his cam-
paign vow not to increase taxes.
The $27.2 billion budget Corbett
signed minutes before fiscal 2011-12 be-
gan Friday did just that.
As tweaked by GOP lawmakers, the
budget reduces overall spending by
about 3 percent while keeping state tax
rates level.
Spending for public schools and high-
er educationis beingcut bymore than$1
billion, while some business taxes are
beingreducedandstate contributions to
school employees pensions are being in-
creased. The administration gained
broad new authority to make major
changes in a range of safety-net pro-
grams to offset hundreds of millions of
dollars cut fromthe Department of Pub-
lic Welfare.
The budget also contains a surplus of
hundreds of millions of dollars resulting
from better-than-expected tax collec-
tions in 2010-11 that Corbett wanted to
salt away for future needs.
Corbett threw his clout behind busi-
ness groups years-old campaign for
fair-share legislation limiting the lia-
bility for negligence of defendants in
some civil court cases. He signed the bill
into law Wednesday.
He did pretty well ... for a first year
when you look at the size of the deficit,
said Gene Barr, a vice president of the
Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and
Industry.
Also approved as part of the gover-
nors legislative program was a bill that
will make it harder for school boards to
raise taxes beyond the inflation rate
without a referendum.
But the more divisive issue of school
vouchers using taxpayer money to
send children to private schools or pub-
lic schools outside their home districts
was left unresolved in a House and
Senate stalemate.
The politically volatile issue of taxing
the natural gas drilling boom in the
states northern and western tiers gener-
ated more than a dozen bills, with most
Democrats andmany Republicans favor-
ing some sort of levy, but the debate nev-
er reached the floor.
Corbett has said he would consider
imposing a limited impact fee to help
communities affected by the drilling,
but not until his hand-picked study com-
mission makes recommendations later
this month.
Outside the Capitol, unlike some GOP
governors in other states who noisily
battled with public-employee unions,
Corbetts administration with little fan-
fare negotiated tentative four-year pacts
withthestates twolargest unions, repre-
senting 55,000 of the 60,000 unionized
state workers. They include a one-year
wage freeze, benefit givebacks and a se-
ries of modest pay raises.
Corbett hada strong working relation-
ship with the House Republicans, al-
though some members fretted early on
that he might concede toomuchonstate
spending or new taxes, House Majority
Leader Mike Turzai said Friday.
We just wanted to make sure that he
was going to hang tough, and he did,
said the Allegheny County lawmaker.
The governors harshest critics are
Democratic legislators, who say theyve
been totally excluded from budget dis-
cussions.
Its an ugly budget that didnt have to
be that way, said Rep. Frank Dermody,
D-Allegheny, the House minority leader.
Corbett has to recognize that were a
separate branch of government. Some-
times youget theattitudethat hedoesnt
think thats the case, Dermody said.
Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa
echoed those complaints but said he be-
lieves the session was a relationship-
building experience for everyone. He
predictedgrowingbipartisanshipas law-
makers tackle school vouchers andthree
issues that the administration is study-
ing a natural gas tax, transportation
funding and the privatization of liquor
and wine sales.
The issues that well be discussing in
the fall ... will end up requiring more
openness and more cooperative conver-
sations, the Allegheny County Demo-
crat said.
Sen. Jake Corman, the Republican
chairman of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, said the governor was slow
to respond to gestures of cooperation
fromboth the House and Senate early in
his tenure.
Maybe because of the bonusgate in-
vestigationthere was a little less trust on
his part, the Centre County lawmaker
said, referring to the ongoing probe into
alleged legislative corruption that Cor-
bett launched in 2007 while he was state
attorney general. At any rate, Corman
said, communications with the gover-
nors office have noticeably improved.
Its an evolving relationship. Itll im-
proveeveryday. I lookfor bigger andbet-
ter things ahead, he said.
David Patti, president and chief exec-
utive of the Harrisburg-basedPennsylva-
nia Business Council, said the adminis-
tration will have its hands full when law-
makers return not only with the is-
sues Costa cited but in dealing with the
growing number of financially dis-
tressed cities and how to pay off Penn-
sylvanias nearly $4 billion unemploy-
ment compensation trust fund debt.
Tom Corbett achieves much of first-year agenda as governor of Pa.
Lawmakers, lobbyists and outside
observers give the administration
mixed marks overall.

R
ichard Briggs is the president and founder of the Briggs Farm Blues Festival in Nescopek. Briggs,
58, is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Art, where he majored in film-making and painting.
His wife of nearly 40 years, Alison, is the director of academic internships at Bloomsburg University.
They have two children: Dylan, 31, and Drew, 27, as well as two grandchildren.
Next weekends Briggs FarmBlues
Festival will be your 14th. What first
inspired you to start the annual
event?I was16in1969andwas work-
ing here on the farm, and I remember
thinking about Woodstock and what
was going on. I didnt go to Wood-
stock. I was actually picking toma-
toes. But I remember thinking about
it then. It was something that was in
my head even when I was a kid.
Who are some of the more memo-
rable artists who have performed at
the festival over the years? Last year,
we had 94-year old David Honeyboy Ed-
wards. That was definitely an historically
defining moment for us. He was part of
the very early days of the blues in the
South. Hewas acontemporaryof Robert
Johnsons and had played with him. To
have him play on our stage at Briggs Farm
was truly an amazing thing for me and for a
lot of peoplethat cametowatchhim. Its like
the holy grail of the blues experience.
The farmhas been in your family since
1760. That actually pre-dates the Amer-
ican Revolution. They settled it and clear-
ed it. Imgeneration nine, my sons are gen-
eration 10 and the grandkids are 1 1. Our
house was built by my great-great grandfa-
ther in 1877.
In addition to running the festival, you
also worked at WVIA-TVfor 22years and
produced numerous film documentaries.
Which one stands out the most? The
most memorablepieceI madefor WVIAwas
the last one, Voices From Vietnam. Meet-
ing those guys and talking to them to a
man, they all cried. And they were telling
me stuff that they hadnt told anybody be-
fore, so it was quite an amazing experi-
ence.
Music?What youlistentowhenyourea
teenager growing up is usually what youre
going to be interested in for the rest of your
life. At that time, 68 to 71, I was into Cree-
dence Clearwater Revival, Bob Dylan,
Cream, The Doors ... blues-based bands.
There was a lot of blues-based rock going
onthen, andthats what I still listento. I also
listentoalot of contemporaryblues andold
recordings of blues.
Favorite city? Barcelona. We also love
Boston, where our son Drew lives. Its a
young city with lots of restaurants and lots
of music.
Follow sports? The Eagle Hose Little
League team in Berwick, my grandsons

YOMING On Aug. 3, 2008, light-
ning struck the Wyoming Monument.
The damage was significant. It moved the
top two rows of stones at least two inches,
damaged the joints on the monuments cap,
blew out a small chunk of concrete and
cracked and pushed out a plaque listing the
names of survivors of the Battle of Wyoming,
which the monument commemorates.
Nearly three years - and
$125,000 later, the monu-
ment has been restored and
will welcomehundredsof vis-
itors Monday for the annual
program marking the 233rd
anniversary of the Revolu-
tionary War battle that took
place nearby.
Kenneth Wolensky, an au-
thor and historian who grew
up in Trucksville, will be the
keynote speaker. He now
lives in Grantville and works
at the Pennsylvania Histori-
cal and Museum Commis-
sion in Harrisburg.

or my money, nothing screams
summer fun like a gigantic
scaly creature rising from the
depths of the ocean and stomping on
the fleeing crowds while demolishing
San Francisco or Manhattan or what-
ever.
One of the joys of this season in
days past was getting the bejabbers
scared out of you, courtesy of the
creative titans in Hollywood. The
big-budget epics like From Here to
Eternity or Singin in the Rain
invariably appeared during the colder
months. Summer was for monstrous
apparitions from the primeval past,
newly transplanted to Main Street.
Thats not to say we havent had
some good creature features in recent
decades. Jurassic Park (not its sorry
sequels, however) was scary, and it
also made us think about human
pride. I liked Independence Day
with its aliens who saw us as maybe a
step up from plankton and its cele-
bration of the brotherhood of human-
ity.
But today you just dont get the
steady summertime diet of enormous
lizards, creepy-crawlies and lab experi-
ments gone nightmarishly haywire.
Recently I watched on TV two of my
old favorites The Beast from
20,000 Fathoms (1953) and It Came
From Beneath the Sea (1955).
In each of these flicks an enormous
something (octopus, tyrannosaurus)
whose very existence is debated at
length by hidebound government
leaders suddenly sweeps all discussion
aside as it slithers ashore. Incidentally,
the black-and-white of these old films
gave them an oh-my-god newsreel
quality, not the pretty appearance of
todays monsters.
It was almost (and I stress the al-
most) like old times. The biggest
difference was that I didnt have to
walk home in darkness from the Hart
Theater, holding my breath and giving
hurried sidelong glances at whis-
pering trees and the yawning spaces
between houses.
An alternative back then, of course,
was the family piling into the car,
along with enough food for the 109th
Field Artillery on maneuvers, and
heading out to a drive-in such as the
Moonlight, the Garden, the Wilkes-
Barre or the West Side. There was
something about being cooped up in
the back seat, even though mom and
dad were in front, that fueled delicious
nightmares for weeks a rare experi-
ence for kids today. A child blubbering
at 3 a.m. about a dismal specter drag-
ging him away would probably bring
not a parental its only a movie, dear
but wheres our lawyers phone num-
ber?
Not only are the neighborhood
theaters and the drive-ins gone, but
the screamfests that filled their coffers
arent even being made anymore.
I guess todays endless tales of
young, well-toned vampires wearing
Armani clothing have their merits.
But I really dont find those merits to
include gut-wrenching terror that
something from another world might
squish you. Want to get a taste of
old-time fear? Search out DVDs or
whatever of 1950s classics Them
(giant poisonous ants) The War of
the Worlds (invaders from Mars),
The Creature from the Black Lagoon
(bloodthirsty underwater humanoid),
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
(alien takeover of people in a small
town) or The Thing (crashed and
vengeful saucer monster).
So here we are in July. You say you
love the hiss of steaks on the barbecue
grill? Hah! Give me the hiss of some
slimy terror or a UFO death ray any
day. Now THATS the good ol sum-
mertime.

FORT WORTH, Texas Call
it vacation Bible school on ste-
roids.
At TheHills Churchof Christ in
North Richland Hills, Texas,
more than 6,300 people attended
last weeks Summer Spectacu-
lar event designed to bring the
story of Noahs ark to life, com-
plete with a petting zoo and a
Broadway-style musical that re-
counted the tale over three
nights.
Its a stark contrast to the Vaca-
tion Bible School days of the past,
when kids made praying hands
out of plaster andlistenedtoBible
stories before nap time.
Todays summer-based schools
are more akin to day camp than
Sunday school, with churches us-
ing elaborate props, electronics
and themed curricula that can be
bought from church denomina-
tions or publishers.
Thematerials makeit easier for
church officials to plan the events
and provide lessons that connect
to the religious concepts they
want to emphasize, church youth
directors say.
I like to say its not your mom
and dads VBS, said Patty Weav-
er, childrens minister at The
Hills. We believe that Gods word
is so powerful that if we make it
culturally relevant then it will re-
ally penetrate the heart of the
child. It just needs to speak to
their world today. We need to
make sure were telling it in a way
that connects with children.
This month, Travis Avenue
Baptist Church in Fort Worth
launched its VBS program, which
is advertised on a billboard on In-
terstate 35W.
Children in kindergarten
throughsixthgradewill participa-
te in the Big Apple Adventure.
Theyll do games and activities to
help them learn a concept each
day, all based on landmarks they
would see on a New York City
trip.
The church sanctuary is being
decorated in a15-foot backdrop of
Times Square. Officials rented a
Statue of Liberty prop from the
Tarrant Baptist Associationthat it
made for a training session, said
Scott Eudaley, childrens minister.
Travis Avenue Baptist started
using themes in the late 1990s to
help make the program more en-
gaging to todays youth, Eudaley
said.

Its not every day a 15-year-old
decides to start a business, never
mind a nonprofit organization.
But thats exactly what Phoebe
Steinfeld did to honor her late fa-
ther, Ned, who died of cancer in
2009.
After my dad died, I felt
strongly about doing something
to honor his legacy of being a
businessman and inventor, said
the NewJersey sophomore, who
is now16.
An optometrist with several
practices, Steinfeld also held pat-
ents in polarized light technolo-
gy.
Phoebe drew on her love of
fashion to create Color Me
Cured, a line of nontoxic nail pol-
ish and T-shirts. Nearly 100 per-
cent of sales will benefit research
for the Memorial Sloan-Ketter-
ing Cancer Center in New York.
I wanted an easy way to get
people involved and make small
contributions, she said.
With an assist from her moth-
er, Nancy, and sister Hallie,
Phoebe hit the ground running.
I amincredibly proud of her,
said her mother, who volunteers
at Memorial Sloan-Kettering.
She has taken a situation that is
unfathomable and was able to
make some sense of it and make
a difference.
Color Me Cured is housed un-
der the Ned J. Steinfeld Founda-
tion, an organization started by
Nancy, Hallie and Phoebe.
In sticking to her own cancer-
fighting campaign inspira-
tion, hope and support, one bot-
tle at a time Phoebe secured
a manufacturer to deliver nail
polish free of common chemical
culprits such as toluene, formal-
dehyde, dibutyl phthlate and
camphor.
I thought it was important to
have a healthier product, she
said. There is so much to be
aware of in terms of harmful in-
gredients.
With names like Walking on
Sunshine, Banish the Blues
and Orange You Glad, the col-
ors not only brighten ones nails,
but ones spirits as well.
A work in progress since last
June, Color Me Cured debuted
officially May 12 at an invitation-
only party in New York. The
gathering raised $10,000 from
product sales and individual do-

Music, a local music store in
Sweet Valley, and the Conn-Sel-
mer Corporation recently spon-
sored Michael Bubles horn sec-
tion to provide a clinic for young
jazz musicians in the Tunkhan-
nock School District.
Prior to their performance at
the Mohegan Sun Arena, six
members of the horn section pro-
vided a free clinic to students in
the middle and high school jazz
programs. Band members, Nick
Vayenas, trombone and trumpet;
Jake Saslow, tenor saxophone;
Justin Ray, trumpet; Rob Wilker-
son, alto saxophone; Josh Brown,
trombone; and Jacob Rodriguez,

ified clinicians for the Conn-Sel-
mer Corporation. Conn-Selmer is
the last major manufacturer of
musical instruments in America
and is an advocate for music edu-
cation.
The musicians split up into
three groups of two. One group
worked with the middle school
jazz band under the direction of
Kevin Kreinberg. The other two
groups worked with two jazz
groups at the high school under
the direction of band director
Ryan Zellner.
Each director took his band
through a tune and the Buble
band members listened and dem-
onstrated their own horns for the
students, recommending im-
provements. The school students
then played the improved selec-
tions. Members of the Buble
band also conducted a question
and answer session with the stu-
dents.

of Mansfield, Texas, is also using
the Big Apple theme at its vaca-
tion Bible school this week.
Boys and girls nowadays are
either involved in electronics or
athletics, and so boys and girls
dont want to come to church and
just sit downandhave a Bible sto-
ry told to them, Eudaley said.
They want to really be a part of
what theyre learning.
The Big Apple program is
produced by Nashville-based
LifeWay Christian Resources. A
basic sampler kit costs $69.99
andincludes clip-art decorations,
Bible study cards, leader guides
and a music CD, according to
LifeWays website.
The Hills created its own curri-
culumfor the Summer Spectacu-
lar, enlisting an army of volun-
teers to decorate the church with
huge rainbows, life-size stuffed
animals and a paper cutout of an
ark in each classroom.

The Wyoming Monument hon-
ors the more than 225 Connecti-
cut settlers who were killed by
Tories and Iroquois Indians on
July 3, 1778, in the Battle of
Wyoming. The remains of those
killed were found in a mass grave
in May of
1832 and re-
buried
where the
monument
stands.
Wolensky,
49, who
graduated
from Dallas
High School
in 1980, Mi-
sericordia
University
in 1984 and
earned a
doctorate in
education
from Penn
State Uni-
versity, said
his speech
will focus on
why its im-
portant to
remember
history and
how we re-
member history as Pennsylva-
nians.
The battle the annual event
commemorates was a wa-
tershed event in the nations his-
tory, Wolensky said.
This shows the resolve of the
patriots to fight for independ-
ence. Although they lost the bat-
tle in the short run they were
massacredinthelongrunthey
won the war .., a war many said
was unwinnable.
On the 100th anniversary of
the battle on July 3, 1878, a com-
memoration service drew more
than 50,000 people to hear the
main speaker for the event, U. S.
President Rutherford B. Hayes.
The service has been held on the
battle anniversary every year
since.
Even though the monument
was damaged and undergoing re-
pair in 2009 and 2010, the cere-
monies took place.
At Mondays event, organizers
will honor two people whose fi-
nancial contributions made sure
the monument was repaired and
lightning proof. Drs. Joseph and
Rose Mattioli, the owners of Po-
cono Raceway in Long Pond, will
be recognized at the event. They
donated $100,000 to help pay for
the monuments repairs, which
were performed by Berwick-
based Masonry Preservation Ser-
vices.

The 133rd Annual
Observance of the
Battle and Mas-
sacre at Wyoming
will be held Monday
at 10 a.m. at the
Wyoming Monu-
ment National
Historic Site along
Route 11 in Wyom-
ing.
The program in-
cludes a band con-
cert by the Wyom-
ing Valley Band,
floral tributes and
Wolenskys keynote
speech. It will also
include a special
recognition of Drs.
Joseph and Rose
Mattioli, owners of
Pocono Raceway,
for their generous
contribution of
$100,000 to help
pay for the monu-
ments repairs. The
event is free to the
public.
HONORING
THE FALLEN
The lessonfor junior highstu-
dents included a PowerPoint
presentation.
At the end of each night, fam-
ilies crowded pews in the audi-
torium to watch a 42-member
cast in Noah: God Keeps His
Promises, a musical written by
a church member with lyrics set
to songs by contemporary art-
ists such as Lady Gaga.
I remember whenI was akid,
and we did our little crafts, and
we learned our Bible stories.
For this, the kids cant wait to
learn it and to see it live, said
Tara Maples, who attended The
Hills event with her two daugh-
ters. It really sticks. They really
get the message.

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JULY 3, 2011

T
hey all want to be big leaguers
some day.
But for now, playing a Little
League All-Star game against an arch
rival under the lights was a pretty big
deal to Pittston City and Pittston Town-
ship.
It was one of those games kid players
dream about, where the victors feel the
elation of accomplishment and the
losing team anguishes with defeat.
But this really wasnt about winning
or losing.
It was more about the spirit of the
competition that made for so much fun
Friday between two teams from the
Pittston area at the Pittston Twp. Little
League Field.
Isnt that what youth sports are sup-
posed to be about, having fun?
Ultimately, if youre not having fun,
you shouldnt be playing the game,
Pittston Twp. coach Joe DeLucca said.
I tell them, Dont think about the
outcome. Enjoy the journey.
You want to watch a journey?
Take a look at the pitch Pittston Twp.
catcher Andy Adkins, his teams second
batter of the game, sent orbiting over
the left-field wall for his first home run
of the season. As he crossed the plate
with the first run of an 8-1 Pittston
Twp. victory, Adkins removed his cap
and revealed a stunning Mohawk crew-
cut.
We all did it for All-Stars, said Ad-
kins, who went 3-for-3 in the game.
Fairness, fun and Little League
New look, new success.
Maybe that was the key for Pittston
Twp. cleanup man Kyle OFier, who
also slugged his first homer in the first
inning and celebrated with a couple
quick hand claps as he crossed home.
He apparently didnt want Pittston
City to feel a similar rush, because
OFier also pitched a one-hitter with
seven strikeouts through 5 2/3 innings
before reaching his pitch limit.
I was just one out away from pitch-
ing a complete game, OFier groaned.
But he couldnt feel too bad. My sinker
was on today, OFier said. Also got
my first home run.
If it seemed Joe DeLucca Jr. was
running home all night, well, he was.
The star shortstop and son of the
Pittston Twp. coach slammed a triple
and a double, scored three times and
knocked in two runs.
Hes our team leader, his proud dad
said. As he goes, we go. And hes going
really well right now.
Things werent going all bad for
Pittston City during the night.
Robbie Wychock came around to
score his teams lone run on Hunter
Booths hard ground out.
And 11-year-old Dylan Spurlin, a
youngster playing with mostly 12-year-
olds, came off the bench to smoke a
hard single to center field for Pittston
Citys lone hit.
Why in the world didnt he start?
Ask his dad, Tom Sperlin. Hes the
Pittston City coach.
I want him out there as much as he
wants to be out there, if not more,
Tom Sperlin said. Its very tough,
being a manager and having kids sit
out. I try to be fair to everybody.
Little League Baseball was built on
those principles of fairness and fun.
Its why a game such as the one Pitt-
ston City and Pittston Twp. played
Friday under bright lights can feel like
as thrilling as any big league game to
every player on both teams.
Prime time, coach Joe DeLucca
grinned. ESPN.
His team of nine players no re-
serves hopes to make more highlights
in the District 16 tournament.
Such anticipation ended for Pittston
City players with Fridays final pitch,
which brought frowns to their faces.
At least until someone yelled Pizza.

late crash.
The Belgian rider, who
dazzled fans by winning
three classics races in
April, sped ahead from the
pack in the final several
hundred yards and kissed
his jersey as he crossed the line.
It was the last 500 meters, I had a lead ...
(and) I went for it, Gilbert said. It was an
extreme effort and I was able to take advan-
tage.
Gilbert, who has notched 13 victories be-
tweenrace andstage wins this year, hadbeen
a favorite to win the opening stage.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. It would
be nearly impossible to get better
pitching in a doubleheader than
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees got on Saturday.
Yankees hurlers allowed just
three hits by the Pawtucket Red
Sox, which led to twin shutout
wins of 7-0, and
3-0, to the disap-
pointment of a
capacity McCoy
Stadium crowd
of 10,111.
D.J. Mitchell
pitched a com-
plete game one-
hitter in the
opener, while
three pitchers,
led by starter
George Kontos,
combined for a
glittering two-
hit performance
in the nightcap.
Brandon
Laird fueled the
Yankees offense by smashing
two-run homers in both games.
It all served to ease the Yan-
kees a game and half past Paw-
tucket into second place in the
Northern Division standings.
Were definitely grinding it
out there, said Kontos, who
came out of the bullpen to make
his second start of the season.
Were playing pretty well. There
are a couple of games wed like to
have back, but I think were going
to keep doing well.
Mitchell (5-7) was outstanding
in recording his third career com-
plete game (all seven-inning af-
fairs).
He took a no-hitter into the
fifth inning before giving up a
clean single to left by Tony Tho-
mas with one away.
It was the only thingevenclose
to a base hit allowed by the third-
year pro, who threw100 pitches,
62 of them for strikes.
All told, he allowed just four
bases runners, having walked
two and hit a batter. It was the
third time in Mitchells brief pro
career in which he went six or
more innings while allowing just
one hit.
The first of those came in his
pro debut while he was at Sin-
gle-A Tampa, on April 10, 2009.

WIMBLEDON, England One might
reasonably have expected Petra Kvitova, not
Maria Sharapova, to be betrayed by nerves in
the Wimbledon final.
This was, after all, Kvitovas first Grand
Slamchampionship match, while Sharapova
already owned three major titles, including
one fromthe All England Club. So Kvitova
decided to pretend she was heading out on
Centre Court to play in the fourth round.
That mindset worked. So, too, did nearly
everything Kvitova tried once play began,
particularly her big, flat left-handed ground-
strokes that pushed Sharapova back on her
heels. In a surprisingly lopsided final, Kvitova
beat the higher-seeded, yet shakier, Sharapo-
va 6-3, 6-4 Saturday to win
Wimbledon for her first
Grand Slamtrophy.
I was surprised howI
was feeling on the court,
Kvitova said, because I
was focused only on the
point and on the game and not on the
final.
If there were those who wondered howthe
eighth-seeded Kvitova would handle the
setting and the pressure, her coach did not.
Indeed, David Kotyza had an inkling his
newpupil possessed the right stuff to win
titles shortly after they began working togeth-
er about 2

2 years ago. Thats because he was

from their parent club by winning
championships.
SWB has racked up four consecutive
International League North Division
titles and more could be on the way

Russ Canzler: The Hazleton
Area grad continues to have a
solid season for Durham, the
Triple-A affiliate of the Tampa
Bay Rays, as he was selected to
start at third base for the In-
ternational League in the Tri-
ple-A All-Star Game.
The third baseman is hitting
.275 with eight home runs, 44
RBI, five stolen bases and an
on-base percentage of .384 after
Fridays action. He has also re-
cently seen some playing time in
right field for the Bulls.
The All-Star Game, which pits
the International League stars
against the Pacific Coast League
stars, will be held Wednesday,
July 13, in Salt Lake City and will
be televised on the MLB Net-
work.
Corey Spangenberg: An Abing-
ton Heights grad and the 10th
overall draft pick by the Padres
last month, he has gotten off to a
stellar start for the Short-Season
Eugene (Ore.) Emeralds. In his
first 15 games, the second base-
man is batting .408 (15-for-49)
with one home run, 15 RBI and
four stolen bases.

Hazleton grad on
I.L. All-Star team
Times Leader staff reports
The Trenton Thunder, who participate
in the Double-A Eastern League, have
qualified for the postseason five of the last
six years, which includes league cham-
pionships in 2007 and 2008.
Twenty-two of the 35 players currently
listed on the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre roster
including injured players once played
in New Jersey, an impressive number that
keeps a pipeline of playoff-tested players
running strong at PNC Park in Moosic.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, which has won
four consecutive I.L. North
Division titles since becom-
ing the Yankees Triple-A
franchise in the fall of 2006,
won the Governors Cup
three seasons ago and lost
in the finals in 2009. At
42-37, the Yankees sat in
third place, four games
behind I.L. North leader
Lehigh Valley, before Sat-
urdays doubleheader
against Pawtucket.
Just last year, when Tren-
ton advanced to the E.L. championship
series before falling, 11 current SWB play-
ers participated in some way to that run.
Being in Trenton last year was fun. We
had a good team there and they can call
you up anytime, said SWB Yankee Bran-
don Laird. Its a business and I had to go
from there to here and come here and help
this team win.
The victories in Trenton keep coming.
After a three-game sweep of the first-
place New Hampshire Fisher Cats last
week, the Thunder find themselves back
in the hunt. They were as many as five
games behind New Hampshire in the
standings, but entered Saturday just one
out in the East Division.
This year, Trenton is led by its pitching,
but it also has some nice offensive weap-
ons.
Three of the top six prospects in the
Yankees organization, according to Base-
ball America, are playing for the Double-A
team.
Starting pitchers Manny Banuelos and
Dellin Betances and catcher Austin Ro-
mine are ranked third, fourth and sixth,
respectively on the up-and-coming list for
the Yankees. They are all Eastern League
All-Stars this year, along with infielder
Corban Joseph.
Banuelos, a 20-year-old lefty, doesnt
look physically imposing at 5-foot-11, 155
pounds, but he has shown that he can get
the job done.
He has a 3-1 record and a
3.38 ERA. His victory total
would be higher, except for
the fact hes only thrown as
many as six innings once
this season. Throwing only
69
1
3 innings in 15 starts this
season, Banuelos has al-
lowed more than two runs in
just two outings this season
and in four other games, hes
given up one run or fewer.
Betances, 23, the other
half of the Thunders one-two punch,
doesnt give up many runs either, but he
also doesnt go deep into games, only
lasting six innings three times in his 13
starts. Betances, who is 4-3 with a 2.37
ERA, has a 6-8, 260-pound physique, the
total opposite of Banuelos.
Either way, both pitchers have been
getting the job done for manager Tony
Franklin.
Manny and Dellin, theyre showing the
promise of being where (Phil Hughes) is
at, one day, said Romine, who has caught
the duo several times this season and was
the backstop for Hughes rehab outing last
week. If I can help them get there as
quick as possible to be able to spot up all
their pitches and throw four pitches for
strikes thats what Im going to try and
do.
Romine has been doing his part for the
whole team the past two years. The 22-
year-old missed 20 games this season with
a concussion, but hes still hitting .298
with four home runs and 33 RBI in 50
games at Trenton.
He has been touted as the strongest
defensive catcher in the organization. He
showed that in a recent game when he
gunned down attempted base stealer and
Toronto prospect Anthony Gose, who
leads all of Double-A with 38 stolen bases.
Romine also will play in the Futures
Game for the second straight year. The
game will be held in Arizona on July 10,
two days before the Diamondbacks host
the MLB All-Star Game. Last year, Romine
played in the Futures Game in Anaheim.
I like him, he has a great idea how we
can make the pitches, Banuelos said
about Romine. He has a good idea how
we can pitch to a hitter. I like when hes
behind the plate with me.

For The Times Leader
Kingston/Forty Forts Brittany Hebda throws to first to retire
Back Mountains KimPretko in the first inning.
Fromwhere I was, said SWB
skipper Dave Miley, he threw
the ball well. I thought (catcher
Jesus) Montero did a great job
with him. It was a real good out-
ing. Not only for D.J., but for us.
Mitchells mates supplied him
with an 11-hit assault, which in-
cluded two-run homers in the
seventh by Jesus Montero and
Laird.
However, all the run support
he needed came in the first in-
ning, when Monteros single off
PawSox starter Brandon Duck-
worth (a former SWB Red Bar-
on) scored Austin Krum from
second.
Kontos, who had been exclu-
sively a starter earlier in his ca-
reer, picked up where Mitchell
left off.
He gave up a scratch single to
Thomas to lead off the first, then
retired the last 12 Sox he faced.
I just tried to throw my best
pitches, said Kontos, and get
some innings for us, and things
went real well.
Kontos handed off a1-0 lead to
Logan Kensing (1-0), who threw
two innings in picking up the
win.
Randy Flores closed out the
seventh to earn his third save.
NOTES: The day began in bi-
zarre fashion, when Yankees
skipper Miley inadvertently
turned in an improper lineup
card, which caused about 10
minutes worth of head scratch-
ing before Game1could resume.
The Yankees bid goodbye to
RHP Carlos Silva, who was
handed his release. Silva (2-1,
3.52) made just four appearanc-
es with the club (all starts), and
none since June 19. The Yan-
kees will wrap up their short
stay here (and their longest road
trip of the season) today at 6
p.m. when LHP Greg Smith (2-1,
3.61) is slated to go against Paw-
tucket RHP Kevin Millwood
(4-1, 5.05).

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
David Ragan earned the first
Sprint Cup victory of his career
Saturday night with a push
from teammate Matt Kenseth
that helped Ragan atone for
one of the biggest gaffes of his
young career.
He might have won the sea-
son-opening Daytona 500
when he lined up as the leader
on a late restart in NASCARs
season-opening event. But he
was penalized for passing too
early, and the life-changing
victory instead went to Trevor
Bayne.
Now Ragan has his own win
at Daytona International
Speedway, albeit in the lesser
of the races. That made little
difference to the 25-year-old
second-generation NASCAR
driver.
Everybody kept talking
about (the Daytona 500), I just
kept trying to zero it out,
Ragan said.
Ragan could now find him-
self in contention for a berth in
the Chase for the Sprint Cup
championship. The win pushed
Ragan to 17th in the standings,
and two spots in the Chase will
go to the winningest drivers
ranked between 11 and 20.
Not a better night to win,
this is awesome, Ragan said.
Kenseth finished second to
give Roush Fenway Racing a
1-2 sweep for Ford.
Joey Logano, who won his
first Daytona race Friday night
with a Nationwide Series victo-
ry, finished third in a Toyota
for Joe Gibbs Racing. Kasey
Kahne was fourth in a Toyota
for Red Bull Racing and Kyle
Busch was fifth for JGR.
Jeff Gordon made a terrific
late-race save to avoid a race-
ending wreck and finished
sixth in a Chevrolet for Hen-
drick Motorsports. Kevin Har-
vick was seventh for Richard
Childress Racing and claimed
the series points lead after an
early accident caused previous
leader Carl Edwards to finish
37th.
Paul Menard was eighth,
while Juan Pablo Montoya and
AJ Allmendinger rounded out
the top 10.
PENSKE PROGRESS: Roger
Penske credited the recent
upswing of his two-car NAS-
CAR organization to operating
under a one-team philosophy.
But, he doesnt exactly discred-
it the notion that Kurt Buschs
tirade in May had an effect.
Sometimes you need a
vibration, a little noise in the
house, Penske said before
Saturday nights race at Dayto-
na. I dont think theres one
silver bullet that you can point
to as the fix, but conversation
is always good and Kurt en-
dorsed the plans that came
from those conversations.
Busch was terribly unhappy
with the performance of the
No. 22 team through March
and April, and it boiled over at
a race in Richmond in an exple-
tive-laden rant on his in-car
radio. Behind the scenes
changes were made after that
race, and both Busch and Brad
Keselowski have turned it up
since.
Busch won three straight
poles and last weeks road
course race in Sonoma, and
hes fourth in the Sprint Cup
standings. Keselowski won the
pole at Charlotte, the race at
Kansas and was 10th at Sono-
ma to move up to 22nd in the
standings. He has 10 races to
move himself into contention
for the Chase for the Sprint
Cup championship.
STAR POWER: Country
music star Martina McBride
performed an hourlong concert
before the race, singing some
of her most popular tunes,
including Broken Wing and
Independence Day. In a not-
so-stunning admission,
McBride said widely beloved
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is her favor-
ite driver. She joked that her
hair had little chance to hold
up in Floridas stifling summer
heat and humidity.
Florida State coach Jimbo
Fisher served as the grand
marshal, delivering the com-
mand to start engines. He said
he grew up a NASCAR fan and
had butterflies, that giddy
feeling in his stomach before-
hand.
Its a great honor for me,
Fisher said.
With 18 starters returning
this fall, Fisher also acknowl-
edged high expectations for
the Seminoles in 2011. They
are a popular pick to win the
Atlantic Coast Conference and
maybe compete for the nation-
al title.

for the sun-baked 119-mile ride
from La Barre-de-Monts to Mont
des Alouettes in the western
Vendee region.
Two-time Tour runner-up Ca-
del Evans of Australia was sec-
ond, three seconds back mak-
ing him the best performer
among the expected title conten-
ders. Thor Hushovd of Norway
was third, six seconds off the
pace.
The 2,131-mile race ends July
24 on Paris Champs-Elysees. Its
shaping up as a battle among rid-
ers like Contador and last years
runner-up Andy Schleck of Lux-
embourg. Three-time champion
Contador, a Spaniard, beat
Schleck by just 39 seconds last
year.
However, they both ran into
trouble toward the end of the
stage on Saturday.
With about 5.5 miles left, Asta-
narider MaximIglinskiyknocked
shoulders with a fan on the road-
side, causingamass crashthat de-
layed Contador and split the
pack. About 40 riders stayed in
front. The Spaniard finished 1:20
after Gilbert and is 82nd overall.
Schleck too got slowed down
by yet another crashnear the end,
and finished the stage in 39th
place. But according to race rules
about crashes withinlast three ki-
lometers, he was credited with
the same time as the pack he was
in six seconds behind Gilbert
and placed 33rd overall.
Amongother possible title con-
tenders, Belgiums Jurgen Van
den Broeck is fifth overall, Levi
Leipheimer of the United States
is 38th, and Briton Bradley Wig-
gins trails in 50th place all six
seconds behind the Belgian stage
winner.
Five crashes took down riders
in the nervous debut stage, in-
cluding Movistar leader David
Arroyo of Spain and Linus Gerde-
mann, the Leopard Trek rider
who won the Tour of Luxem-
bourg this year. Two injured Mo-
vistar teammates, Andrey Ama-
dor and Benat Intxauti, were tak-
en to hospital for X-rays.
Belgiums Jelle Vanendert paid
for his courtesy. Near the front of
the main pack around the 39-mile
mark, the Omega Pharma-Lotto
rider heldout his left armto warn
those behind him of a roadway
median a gesture that caused
himto lose control of his bike. He
tumbled to the ground with his
helmet bouncing and his sun-
glasses skidding away, while sev-
eral others fell in his wake. All of
those involved returned to the
race.
Whilethestagewasmostlyflat,
the end was tricky. Riders had to
scale the bumpy Mont des
Alouettes a 1.8-mile hill up
to the finish, so it was not tailor-
made for traditional sprinters.
Inabreakwithrecent tradition,
the Tour opener this year was not
an individual time-trial prologue,

League? Carlos Quentin or Jaco-
by Ellsbury in the AL outfield?
And how many aces can the
Phillies put on the pitching
staff?
It can be a little daunting, to
be honest, NL manager Bruce
Bochy of the San Francisco
Giants said. Sure, its an honor
and youre excited about it, but
at the same time you know that
somebodys going to get
snubbed, supposedly. Theres
nothing you can do about it. Its
not perfect.
One superstar who wont be
playing is St. Louis slugger
Albert Pujols, sidelined by a
broken wrist. He highlights a
striking list of face-of-the-fran-
chise types who figure to miss
this All-Star game because of
injuries, slumps or both.
Joe Mauer, Hanley Ramirez,
David Wright, Evan Longoria,
Chase Utley, Ichiro Suzuki, Ryan
Zimmerman, Carl Crawford,
Buster Posey, Justin Morneau,
Josh Johnson, Johan Santana.
In their absence, look for
talented first-timers such as
Asdrubal Cabrera, Rickie Weeks
and Matt Kemp.
Following last years rule
changes, this will be the first
time the designated hitter is
used in an NL park. There are 34
slots on each roster, with 13
going to pitchers. And every
team must be represented,
which makes for difficult deci-
sions.
Ill be glad when the process
is over, said Texas Ron Wash-
ington, who will manage the AL
squad. I did my homework, Ill
consult with my coaching staff
and Ill probably reach out to a
few guys, a few managers thats
done this before. But I only get
so many to choose, and all I have
to do is look at the roster thats
been put out there and were
going to choose according to our
need, to make sure were cov-
ered.
The league that wins gets
home-field advantage in the
World Series again, and the NL
finally wrested it away last year
with its first victory in 13 games
since 1996.
So without regard to fan or
player balloting, here are our
picks for the 82nd All-Star game.
Rosters will be announced today.
Starting with the AL
First Base Gonzalez has
been an RBI machine in his first
season with Boston. Thanks to a
smooth glove, he edges Detroit
bopper Miguel Cabrera for the
start. Chicagos Paul Konerko
and New Yorks Mark Teixeira
also make the team.
Second Base Cano is the
clear choice even though he
hasnt played as well as last year,
when he finished third in AL
MVP voting for the Yankees.
The backup job goes to under-
rated Ben Zobrist of Tampa Bay.
Shortstop Asdrubal Cabre-
ra has provided power at the
plate and spectacular defense in
a breakout season for the sur-
prising Indians. That impressive
combination earns him the start-
ing nod over Detroits Jhonny
Peralta, who also warrants his
first selection. Left off here is the
37-year-old Jeter, who had a
comfortable lead at last count in
fan voting and appears headed
to his 12th All-Star game despite
that strained calf and a season-
long slump. Six hits shy of
3,000, he was set to come off the
disabled list early next week, so
perhaps hell be healthy enough
to play in the Midsummer Clas-
sic. Who knows? It could be his
last All-Star hurrah.
Third Base Rodriguez also
held a sizable lead in fan ballot-
ing, but his numbers at the plate
put him neck-and-neck with Red
Sox rival Kevin Youkilis. Give
the nod to A-Rod, with Youkilis
securing a reserve role.
Catcher Another young
player enjoying a breakthrough
season is Tigers catcher Alex
Avila. He gets the surprise start
and his backup is, well ... his
backup. Avilas emergence has
allowed Detroit to use Victor
Martinez mostly as a DH, but
hes still caught more than 20
games and his bat is awfully
productive. With apologies to
Clevelands Carlos Santana, put
Martinez on the club as a catch-
er and theres no need to pick
another backstop who doesnt
quite deserve it. Plus, it would
make for a neat anomaly: two
All-Star catchers from one big
league team.
Outfield Toronto slugger
Jose Bautista had received more
All-Star votes than anyone else
in the majors, a sign that fans are
paying attention even when he
connects in Canada. He starts in
right field, with New Yorks
Curtis Granderson in center and
Quentin from the White Sox in
left. On the bench is Ellsbury,
another Boston entry, along
with Baltimores Adam Jones,
Minnesotas Michael Cuddyer
and Kansas Citys Alex Gordon,
finally fulfilling his promise after
switching from third base to left
field.
Designated Hitter Ortiz
was running away with the fan
vote, and deservedly so. Popular
as ever in Boston, Big Papi can
still swing it. The other choice
at DH is Texas stalwart Michael
Young, who could also fill in as
an infielder if needed.
Starting Pitchers Detroit
flamethrower Justin Verlander is
blossoming into the consistent
and dominant ace that was al-
ways expected. He seems to flirt
with a no-hitter every time he
takes the mound and he
finished one off this year in
Toronto. Verlander earns the
start on a staff that includes
fellow right-handers Josh Beck-
ett (Boston), James Shields
(Tampa Bay) and Felix Hernan-
dez (Seattle), along with Angels
teammates Jered Weaver and
Dan Haren. The lefties are CC
Sabathia (New York), C.J. Wil-
son (Texas) and Gio Gonzalez
(Oakland).
Relievers Mariano Rivera is
closing in on the career saves
record and shows no signs of
slowing down at age 41. New
Yorks longtime relief ace is
joined in the bullpen by Detroits
Jose Valverde, Clevelands Chris
Perez and Tampa Bay first-timer
Kyle Farnsworth.
And in the NL
First Base Fielder is having
a huge season for Milwaukee in
the final year of his contract.
The best thing to do, however,
would be to start him at DH and
put Votto at first base because
the Cincinnati slugger, last years
NL MVP, is more adept on de-
fense. Philadelphias Ryan Ho-
ward brings his big bat off the
bench.
Second Base Weeks gives
the Brewers a powerful threat at
the top of the lineup. His back-
ups are Brandon Phillips, an
all-around cornerstone for the
Reds, and Washington rookie
Danny Espinosa.
Shortstop New York Mets
dynamo Jose Reyes has been the
games most electrifying player
this season, dashing around the
bases on doubles, triples and
steals. His glove is a plus, too, so
he looks primed to cash in as a
28-year-old free agent next win-
ter. Behind him is Colorados
Troy Tulowitzki, another multi-
talented star.
Third Base A thin crop this
year, so Braves switch-hitter
Chipper Jones takes a bow. Sure,
its partly a lifetime achievement
award, but who else would you
rather see in this game? Aramis
Ramirez of the Chicago Cubs is
on the bench.
Catcher No doubt about
this one. Atlantas Brian
McCann, the MVP of last years
All-Star game, is a runaway
choice for his sixth selection
and first start. Backing him up
behind the plate is Miguel Mon-
tero from the hometown Dia-
mondbacks.
Outfield The starting spots
are easy: In center field is Kemp,
the first-half MVP from the Los
Angeles Dodgers. Hes flanked
by Milwaukees Ryan Braun in
left and a revitalized Lance Berk-
man of St. Louis in right. After
that it gets tricky, because there
are about a dozen worthy candi-
dates. Heres who makes the cut:
Arizonas Justin Upton, New
Yorks Carlos Beltran, Cincinna-
tis Jay Bruce, Pittsburghs An-
drew McCutchen, Houstons
Hunter Pence and Colorados
Carlos Gonzalez. Left off is
Andre Ethier, despite his 30-
game hitting streak, and Matt
Holliday, who missed 20 games
because of a leg injury and an
appendectomy.
Starting Pitchers Roy Hal-
laday won the NL Cy Young
Award in his first season with
Philadelphia and follows it up this
year with an All-Star game start.
Phillies left-handers Cliff Lee and
Cole Hamels are also on the staff,
along with Atlantas Jair Jurrjens,
Los Angeles lefty Clayton Ker-
shaw, San Franciscos TimLince-
cum, Arizonas Ian Kennedy,
Floridas Anibal Sanchez and St.
Louis Kyle Lohse.
Relievers Pittsburgh closer
Joel Hanrahan went into the
weekend perfect in 23 save
chances. Joining him in the
bullpen are San Franciscos
Brian Wilson, San Diegos Heath
Bell and Cincinnatis Francisco
Cordero.

Luzerne County Transportation Authority
SINSHEIM, Germany Any-
one can sign autographs or pose
for photos. The U.S. women
found a better way to say thank
you to the American military
members whoturnedtheir World
Cup match into a home game.
The U.S. advanced to the quar-
terfinals of the Womens World
Cup with a 3-0 rout of Colombia
on Saturday, delighting a sellout
crowdmade upalmost entirely of
American fans. The team lined
up for a military salute after
Heather OReillys opening goal,
and Megan Rapinoe grabbed a
TV mic and sang Born in the
USA after she scored.
The troops came out to prac-
tice the other day, which was a
fantastic environment, said Car-
li Lloyd, who scored the third
goal. We thought it would be
good to salute them. It was fun,
something different.
The two-time World Cup
champions now play Sweden,
one of two teams to beat them
this year, on Wednesday in Wolfs-
burg to determine the Group C
winner. The Americans and Swe-
den both have six points, but the
U.S. leads the group on goal dif-
ferential and can claim the top
spot with a victory or a tie.
Colombia is a teamon the rise,
finishing fourth at the Under-20
WorldCuplast year. But this is its
first World Cup appearance, and
the youngsters were no match for
the deeper, more experienced
Americans. The U.S. harassed
goalkeeper Sandra Sepulveda re-
lentlessly, forcing her to work
more in this game than some
goalkeepers will work all tourna-
ment.
She didnt get much help from
her backline, which was shred-
ded by the speedy OReilly time
and again.
Its a growing experience,
said defender Nataly Arias, who
was born and raised in the Wash-
ington, D.C., area. It was their
size, their speed. Theyre all big,
theyre all fast, theyre all agile.
And it could have been even
worse for the Colombians. The
Americans missed at least a half-
dozen other chances, and had a
whopping 27-12 advantage in
shots. Abby Wambach missed so
many chances she had little
choice but to laugh at her misfor-
tunes by the end of the game, and
Rapinoe banged a shot off the
crossbar.
Colombia did get four shots on
goal, with their best chance com-
ing in the 54th minute. Orianica
Velasquez came in as a substi-
tute, immediately got possession
and took a shot, but Hope Solo
punched it away.
Its a tough loss for us, obvi-
ously, Arias said. At the same
time, I feel proud of what we did
in this game.
The Americans are feeling
pretty good about themselves,
too.
Though the U.S. is the top-
ranked teamin the world and the
defending Olympic champion, it
was Germany, not the Americans
considered the favorite when the
tournament began. They had
dropped three games in a five-
month span after going more
thantwoyears without aloss, and
neededtowina two-game playoff
with Italy just to get to Germany.
But the U.S. rolled through its
first two games, and its confi-
dence is growing with every win.
Though Wambach has yet to
score and the Americans are
struggling to finish shots, their
five goals have come fromfive dif-
ferent players.
Thats a huge positive,
OReilly said.
OReilly made Colombia pay
for its botched clearance of a goal
kick in the 12th minute, jumping
on the ball after it bounced off
Liana Salazar. OReilly took a few
steps and then blasted a right-
footedshot from25 yards that Se-
pulveda had no chance to stop. It
was OReillys third World Cup
goal, and 30th overall.
Pias always saying, If you
have space in front of you, just
take it, OReilly said. I took a
couple of touches and just let it
fly.
The crowd of 25,475 burst into
cheers as the ball rolled around
the upper corner of the net, and
the players lined up for their sa-
lute. There is a U.S. Army base in
nearby Mannheim, and about
350 service members and their
families watched the team prac-
tice Thursday.
We were really moved and in-
spired by the support they gave
us, OReilly said.
The Americans could have had
another four or five goals just in
the first half alone. But, just as
they have much of the year, they
struggled to finish. Wambach,
one of the worlds best players in
the air, misdirected one header
wide and sent another soaring
over the goal. Amy Rodriguez
hada short chip shot blockedand
skied a rebound of a Wambach
miss, and Sepulveda punched
away a shot by Lauren Cheney.

NEWTOWNSQUARE, Pa.
Rickie Fowlers ordinary season
came to life Saturday in the
AT&T National.
On a day in which the course
record lasted only 20 minutes
because of such low scoring,
Fowler did his part by making
six birdies in his opening 10
holes and wound up with a 6-un-
der 64 to share the lead with
World Golf Championship win-
ner Nick Watney.
For all the hype over the fash-
ionable Fowler, the 22-year-old
hasnt won on the PGA Tour in
46 starts as a pro. He gave him-
self a chance at Aronimink with
a game so dynamic that he mis-
sed two putts inside 10 feet and
still shot 30 on the front nine.
Watney didhis damage onthe
back nine and became the third
player to break the course re-
cord on greens that were sur-
prisingly soft. With a 30-foot ea-
gle putt on the 16th, and a dar-
ing wedge to 5 feet on the 17th,
he shot 27 on the back nine and
finished with a 62.
That broke the record of 63
that Steve Marino had about 20
minutes earlier. Marino had
matched the record that Chris
Kirk posted about an hour be-
fore that.
Adam Scott had a 66 and
didnt feel as though he had
made up much ground.
Im quite happy with a 66, to
be honest, Scott said. But
yeah, it doesnt really stack up
against a 62, does it?
Of the 76 players who teed off
Saturday Vijay Singh with-
drewbecause of a back injury
40 of them had rounds in the
60s.
The tournament, however, re-
mains wide open going into the
final round today.
Fowler and Watney were at 9-
under 201, one shot ahead of 36-
hole leader K.J. Choi, who start-
ed and finished well to compen-
sate for some poor shots in the
middle. Choi birdied two of his
last three holes, including a 30-
foot birdie putt on the 18th, to
salvage a 69.
Scott, Marino and Webb
Simpsonhe hada 64 that was
easy to overlook were two
shots behind at 7-under 203,
while the group at 204 included
Kirk and Charlie Wi, who was
going along nicely until he
played it safe off the 316-yard
13th tee and wound up four-put-
ting for a double bogey.
Fowler isnt the only player
going for his first win.
Marino is regarded as among
the best to have never collected
a PGA Tour trophy, and he and
Simpson also winless on tour
could have even more at
stake today.

TORONTO Roy Halladay
pitched an eight-hitter against
his former team to win his
sixth-straight decision, Chase
Utley hit a go-ahead home run
and the Philadelphia Phillies
beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3
on Saturday.
Torontos Jose Bautista hit
his major league-leading 26th
home run, but the Blue Jays
still lost for the 10th time in 13
home games.
Halladay (11-3), who took
the mound in the bottom of the
first to a standing ovation from
the crowd of 44,078, spent the
first 12 years of his career with
the Blue Jays before being
traded to Philadelphia in De-
cember 2009.
Philadelphia trailed 3-2 when
Utley greeted reliever Luis
Perez with a two-run homer to
right in the seventh, his fourth.
Yankees 5, Mets 2
NEW YORK Bartolo
Colon pitched six shutout
innings in his return from the
disabled list and Eduardo Nu-
nez had another big game at
the plate, leading the New York
Yankees past the Mets 5-2 on
Saturday for their season-best
seventh consecutive victory.
Jose Reyes left after two
innings with tightness in his
left hamstring, taking the
starch out of the suddenly
slumping Mets. After setting a
club record by scoring 52 runs
in a four-game stretch, they
have managed only five while
losing their past three.
Pirates 5, Nationals 3, first
game
Nationals 4, Pirates 3, second
game
WASHINGTON Ivan
Rodriguez drove in the go-
ahead run as a pinch-hitter in
the eighth, and the Washington
Nationals beat the Pittsburgh
Pirates 4-3 Saturday night to
earn a doubleheader split.
Rodriguezs single to right
scored Rick Ankiel to cap a
two-run rally. Pinch-runner
Brian Bixler had tied the game
on a double steal, taking third
and then coming home when
catcher Eric Fryers throw went
into left field for an error.
In the first game, Garrett
Jones and Andrew McCutchen
hit back-to-back homers in the
eighth inning, and James
McDonald had a strong outing
in the Pirates 5-3 victory. That
win put Pittsburgh two games
over .500 for the eighth time
this season, but they are now
0-8 trying to get to three above
the break-even mark.
Red Sox 10, Astros 4
HOUSTON Darnell
McDonald hit a three-run
homer, pinch-hitter Yamaico
Navarro went deep for the first
time and the Boston Red Sox
beat the Houston Astros 10-4
on Saturday night.
Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gon-
zalez and Kevin Youkilis had
three hits apiece and each
drove in a run for the Red Sox,
who have won three straight.
Boston has scored 17 runs in
the last two games after ma-
naging just 15 in the previous
six games.
White Sox 1, Cubs 0
CHICAGO Phil Humber,
backed by strong defense,
pitched shutout ball for seven
innings and Juan Pierre singled
in the only run Saturday, lifting
the Chicago White Sox past
the Cubs 1-0.
Humber (8-4), who made the
team in spring training and has
become the White Soxs most
consistent starter, allowed five
singles and is now 5-1 in his
last six starts.
He won a duel with Matt
Garza, who held the White Sox
hitless for 5 1-3 innings before
Pierre singled. Garza (4-7)
yielded only four singles in his
first complete game with the
Cubs and seventh of his career.
Indians 3, Reds 1
CINCINNATI Michael
Brantley hit a three-run homer
and Frank Herrmann took over
after Indians starter Fausto
Carmona took a tumble, pitch-
ing three scoreless innings
Saturday for his first big league
win in Clevelands 3-1 victory
over the Cincinnati Reds.
The Indians are 5-0 against
their intrastate rival, one win
away from the first sweep in
the interleague series history.
Carmona fell hard while
running out a grounder in the
third inning, leaving the game
with a strained right thigh.
Herrmann (1-0) retired nine of
the 10 batters he faced.
Brantley followed Carmonas
fall with his first homer in
nearly a month off Homer
Bailey (3-3).
Braves 5, Orioles 4
ATLANTA David Ross hit
his second career grand slam
and the Atlanta Braves held on
for a 5-4 victory over the Balti-
more Orioles on Saturday
night.
Tim Hudson pitched six
innings and Jordan Schafer
made a couple of nice plays in
center field, helping Atlanta to
its fifth consecutive win and
10th in its last 12 games over-
all.
Rays 5, Cardinals 1
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Casey Kotchman drove in three
runs with a double and Justin
Ruggiano hit a two-run homer
during a five-run sixth inning,
and the Tampa Bay Rays beat
the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 on
Saturday night.
Kotchmans bases-clearing
hit with two outs off Kyle
McClellan (6-5) put the Rays
ahead 3-1. Ruggiano followed
with his fourth homer of the
season to make it 5-1.
Brewers 8, Twins 7
MINNEAPOLIS Pinch-
hitter George Kottaras capped
a four-run ninth inning with a a
go-ahead RBI single that gave
the Milwaukee Brewers an 8-7
win over the Minnesota Twins
on Saturday night.
The Twins blew a 7-0 lead
that they built on 13 hits in
four innings. They had one hit
the rest of the way.

WIMBLEDON, England From 1983 to
2003, the worlds top two players never met
each other in the Wimbledon mens final.
Its about to happen for the seventh time in
eight years with a couple of twists.
Thanks mainly to a couple of guys named
RogerFedererandRafael Na-
dal, No. 1 vs. No. 2 Grand
Slam finals became some-
thingof a regular occurrence
in recent years, at the All En-
gland Club and elsewhere.
Today, No. 1Nadal will be in-
volved in yet another 1-2
Wimbledon championship
matchup, only itll be against
No. 2NovakDjokovic and
theyll switch spots in the ATP rankings a day
later.
Asof Monday, Djokovicwill moveuptoNo.1,
andNadal will slidedowntoNo. 2, regardlessof
todays outcome. Whichever man wins, it will
be the sixth major title in a row thats gone to
Nadal (French Open, Wimbledon and U.S.
Openin2010, FrenchOpenin2011)or Djokovic
(2010 Australian Open).
One guy playedunbelievable the first half of
theyear, sohes thenewNo. 1, Nadal said. We
just cancongratulate him, because what he did
this first part of the season is something really
impressive, really fantastic.
Thats definitely the case.
Djokovicis47-1in2011, includinga4-0record
against Nadal, beatinghimintwohard-court fi-
nals and two clay-court finals.
The four times I won against him this year
can probably help me in some ways mentally
prior tothis match, saidDjokovic, whois11-16
against Nadal overall, including 0-5 in Grand
Slamtournaments.
The24-year-oldSerbwonthefirst seventour-
naments he entered this season, before his 43-
match winning streak, dating to the Davis Cup
final inDecember, endedwitha loss to Federer
in the French Open semifinals.
Hesthebest player intheworld(at)themo-
ment, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga said after losing to
Djokovic in Fridays semifinals.
That victory moved Djokovic into his first fi-
nal at Wimbledon, and fifth at a Grand Slam
tournament. Hes2-2sofar, winningtheAustra-
lianOpentwice, andlosingintwoU.S. Openfi-
nalstoFedererin2007andtoNadal lastyear.
This onecarries themost significancetoDjo-
kovic, though.
First timeI watchedtennisoranythingrelat-
edtotenniswasWimbledon... whenI was4, 5. I
remember thosedays, hesaid. I remember al-
ways Wimbledon being the one.
Nadal, meanwhile, is seeking his third Wim-
bledontitleand11thGrandSlamtrophyoverall.
Amonthpast his25thbirthday, Nadal wouldbe
thesecond-youngest mantoget to11, barelybe-
hind Bjorn Borg.
And Nadal already would be tied for fourth-
most Grand Slamtitles in history, trailing only
Federer (16), PeteSampras (14) andRoyEmer-
son (12).
Nadal refuses to talk about pursuing Feder-
ers record.
I think about the number 10. Thats what I
haveat home. Thatswhat ImabletoseewhenI
go back home, in my bedroom, Nadal said. I
dont have11, I dont have12, I dont have15, or
16; 16 is very far. I believe the number is not go-
ingstopthere. Roger will havemorechances to
win more.
Others are more willing to assess Nadals
chances of surpassing Federer.
Sampras, for one, said this week he wouldnt
be surprised to see Nadal do it.
Nadal has won 20 consecutive matches at
Wimbledonandis32-2at thegrass-court Grand
Slamsincethestart of the2006tournament, re-
aching five finals in a row.
Helost toFedererinthe2006and2007finals,

wowed by the several pages of
handwritten answers Kvitova
supplied for a questionnaire he
gave her back then and has
kept to this day.
I was really surprised about
how she thinks about tennis,
how clever she is. She told me
her advantages, disadvantages,
what shehastoimprove,Kotyza
said, then pointed a finger to his
templeandadded: Her brainis a
big advantage for this game.
When she was a kid growing
up in Fulnek, Czech Republic
population: 6,000 and practic-
ing an hour or so after school
eachday, Kvitova didnt count on
becoming a professional tennis
player. She simply wasnt that
good, yet. Clearly, shes a quick
study.
Before Wimbledon in 2010,
Kvitovas career record on grass
was 0-4. She is 16-2 on the slick
surface since, including a run to
the semifinals here last year be-
fore losing to Serena Williams.
At 21, Kvitova is the youngest
Wimbledon champion since
you guessed it Sharapova was
17in2004. Kvitovaisalsothefirst
Czech to win the tournament
since Jana Novotna in1998.
Plus, Kvitova is only the third
left-handed woman to win the
grass-court Grand Slam tourna-
ment. The last was Martina Nav-
ratilova, who won her ninth
Wimbledon title in 1990, a few
months after Kvitova was born.
Im thrilled for her. She
played brave tennis, and she de-
served to win. She was by far the
better player, said Navratilova,
who was born in Czechoslovakia
and sat near Novotna in the Roy-
al BoxonSaturday. I dont think
this is the only time shell win
here. Its very exciting. A new
star.
That last phrase was being ut-
teredbymanypeople aroundthe
grounds after Kvitova managed
to make Sharapova look rather
ordinary.
Consider: Until Saturday, Sha-
rapova had won all 12 sets she
played over the last two weeks.
But, as Sharapovas coach Tho-
mas Hogstedt summed up after-
ward: One played well. The oth-
er didnt play well. Maria didnt
play as good as she can.
That was, at least in part, Kvi-
tovas doing.
She compiled 19 winners,
most by zipping her heavy fore-
hands and backhands from the
baseline, where her 6-foot frame
and long arms helped her get to
seemingly out-of-reach balls.
She created offensive oppor-
tunities from tough positions on
the court, Sharapova said.
Sometimes its just too good.
Kvitova also broke Sharapova
five times, anticipating where
serves were headed.
It helped that Sharapova dou-
ble-faultedsix times, althoughat
least those were fewer than the
13 the Russian hit in the semifi-
nals.
She performed incredible.
Sometimes, when you dont
know what to expect and you
dont know how youre going to
feel, sometimes you play your
best, because you have that feel-
ing of nothing to lose, said the
fifth-seeded Sharapova, who was
playing in a major final for the
first time since right shoulder
surgery in October 2008. She
went for it, absolutely.
What really was odd was see-
ing the experienced and normal-
ly gritty Sharapova bothered by
distractions such as the swarms
of tiny greenflies that showed up
Saturday or the occasional clap
or yell that came fromthe stands
during points.
Even more stunning was the
way Sharapova crumpled at key
moments. One example: She
double-faulted twice in a row to
lose serve and fall behind 4-2 in
the first set. Sharapova turned
her back to the court and gave
herself a little lecture, then
smacked herself on her left palm
with her racket.
Kvitova now 4-1 in tourna-
ment finals this year broke
again to begin the second set,
capping that game with a run-
ning forehand that caught the
back edge of the baseline. The
womenexchangedfour consecu-
tive breaks in the middle of that
set, before Kvitova not Shara-
pova gathered herself.
Ahead 4-3, but trailing 15-30
while serving, Kvitova hit three
straight service winners to get to
5-3.

NEW YORK After a day of
being wooed by teams around
the NHL, Brad Richards picked
the one that was the front-runner
all along the New York Rang-
ers.
Richards, considered the big-
gest prize in this years under-
whelming free-agent market,
struck it rich Saturday when he
agreedtoa nine-year, $60million
deal. The 31-year-old center will
be reunited with coach John Tor-
torella, with whom he won the
Stanley Cup in 2004 with the
Tampa Bay Lightning. Hell be
alongside Marian Gaborik on
New Yorks revamped top line.
After posting a career-high 28
goals and 49 assists last season
with the Dallas Stars, Richards
jumped to the head of the free-
agent class and was highly cov-
etedby the Rangers. The Los An-
geles Kings and Toronto Maple
Leafs also made in-person pitch-
es at the office of his agent, Pat
Morris, in Ontario.
The CalgaryFlames alsomade
a late push Friday, the first day of
the free-agent shopping season,
to try to land the Prince Edward
Island native.
Tim Leiweke, the chief execu-
tive of Anschutz Entertainment
Group, which owns the Kings,
was part of a group that included
general manager DeanLombardi
and several others who went to
Canada to meet with Richards
face to face. Not even video
messages from Wayne Gretzky
and Kobe Bryant, and a contract
thought to be similar to the
Rangers offer, won over Ri-
chards.
New York stated its case re-
motely and did enough to lure
Richards, despite reportedly not
offering the most lucrative deal.
The Rangers hope Richards
will end their search for a center
to power their top line and run
their often struggling power
play. New York thought it filled
its hole in the middle four years
ago when it signed Chris Drury
and Scott Gomez on the first day
of free agency, hoping for a good
mix with Jaromir Jagr.

Free-agent Richards hits $60M jackpot

Considered the biggest prize in an underwhelming free-agent
market, Brad Richards (91) has signed with the N.Y. Rangers.
InMarch, NFLowners locked
out their players. OnFriday, NBA
owners followedsuit.
Its believedthat onlyonce
before twoof the UnitedStates
major sports leagues have been
shutteredat the same time.
Alookat whats at stake inthe
labor disputes, andhowtheyare
similar anddifferent:
Q: Whats withthe NFLandthe
NBAbeingstuckinlabor lockout
at the same time? Are the two
situations connected?
A: Its partlya coincidence that
the twoleagues collective bar-
gainingagreements expiredwith-
inmonths of eachother. But its
probablynot a fluke that owners in
bothsports are sayingat the same
time that the olddeals didnt
provide themwithsufficient reve-
nue. The U.S. economyis emerg-
ingfroma recession. AndNFLand
NBAleaders contendthere arent
enoughnewrevenue streams to
cover costs for buildingandim-
provingstadiums andarenas.
Q: But havent bothsports being
doingverywell recently?
A: The NFLandNBAhave
enjoyeda surge ininterest the last
couple of seasons, withappealing
storylines andbig-name stars
drivingrobust televisionratings.
Infact, the twomost watchedU.S.
televisionprograms of all time
were the past twoSuper Bowls.
Andthe NBA, while not the same
drawas profootball, last month
hadthe highest ratingfor a Game
6of its final series in11years.
Bothplayers associations argue
thats proof the leagues are better
off thantheypurport tobe. The
owners counter that ratings and
other indicators of popularityare
irrelevant whentheir economic
models are broken. NBAowners
saytheylost hundreds of millions
of dollars ineveryseasonof the
last collective bargainingagree-
ment, whichwas ratifiedin2005.
Accordingtoleague officials, 22of
the 30teams were losingmoney
this past season. One of the points
of contentionbetweenthe NFL
andits players is that the union
wants access tomore financial
data fromteams tosee the exact
economic situationof the clubs.
Q: OK. But what, exactly, is a
lockout? Andhows it different
froma strike?
A: Management has the right
under federal labor lawtoshut
downa business once a CBA
expires. That means, for instance,
that the leagues arent payingfor
players healthinsurance, andfree
agents cant signwithteams.
Employees have the same right to
strike.
Inthis case, for bothbasketball
andfootball, the owners side is
the one that wants tosignificantly
alter the structure of the olddeal,
leadingtoa lockout, not a strike.
Q: Howsimilar are the issues in
the twosports negotiations?
A: The tone of the twolabor
disputes has differedbecause of
the leagues disparate financial
situations. For the NFL, the de-
bate is howtodivvyup$9billion
inrevenues, withplayers and
owners wranglingover what is the
fairest split. The NBAis ina more
dire economic plight, andthe
questionis howmuchof a hit
players salaries will take as a
result.
Q: Is the NBAlockout goingto
looklike the NFLs?
A: The NFLuniondecertified
andturnedtothe courts inan
attempt tolift the lockout. The
NBAplayers associationdoesnt
plantogothat route, at least for
now.
Q: Shouldfans be worriedabout
losinggames ineither situation?
A: There was optimismearlier
this weekthat anNFLdeal was
near, but the sides went intothe
weekendwithout a deal. The
NBAs regular seasonisnt sched-
uledtostart until late October, but
at the moment bothsides say
theyre far apart.

Whats at
stake in
the NFL
and NBA
By RACHEL COHEN
AP Sports Writer
utive board member De-
nis Oswald said. Mun-
ich is certainly a very
strong challenger. We
would be sure they
would have an excellent
organization. The Anne-
cy bid is not bad at all,
but they had a bad start
and it was difficult to
catch up.
SouthKoreaPresident
Lee Myung-bakandGer-
man President Christian
Wulff will be in Durban
to promote their coun-
tries bids. However, in a
sign of Annecys faint
hopes, FrenchPresident Nicolas Sarkozyis
not travelingtoSouthAfricaandis sending
Prime Minister Francois Fillon instead.
Tony Blair was instrumental in securing
the 2012 Olympics for London, and Vladi-
mir Putin helped Sochi land the 2014 Win-
ter Games. But President Barack Obama
didnt help Chicagos cause when he trav-
eled to Copenhagen for the IOC vote in
2009, and the U.S. city was eliminated in
Olympics, is pushing Pyeongchang to the
wire in what is shaping up as a two-horse
race. The French bid from Annecy is the
clear outsider.
Thetwofront-runnersarestill front-run-
ners and Annecy is a little behind, Norwe-
gianIOCexecutiveboardmemberGerhard
HeibergtoldTheAssociatedPress. Every-
body is waiting for the presentations and
most people have not made up their
minds.
In May, the three contenders made pre-
sentationstotheIOCinLausanne, Switzer-
land, but frantic campaigning will remain
until the last minute, capping a two-year
race that tookbidleaders aroundthe world
to push their case.
IOC votes can be unpredictable par-
ticularly for the Winter Games, with many
members coming from countries with no
winter sports tradition or interest. Intangi-
ble factors such as politics, geography, sen-
timent, future bids and personal relation-
ships comeintoplayas muchas thequality
of the bobsled or curling venues.
The final presentations on Wednesday
could also swing some votes.
I think its still close, Swiss IOC exec-
LONDONSendthe Winter Olympics
to a new frontier in Asia, or go back to the
roots of winter sports in the heart of Eu-
rope?
That sums upthechoicefacingtheInter-
national Olympic Committee when it se-
lects the host city for the 2018 Games.
By all accounts, the South Korean bid
fromPyeongchangremains the one tobeat
in the three-city race that also includes
Munich and Annecy, France, when nearly
100 IOC members cast their secret ballots
on Wednesday in Durban, South Africa.
Pyeongchang, biddingfor athirdconsec-
utivetimeafter narrowdefeats for the2010
and2014Olympics, wouldbecomethefirst
Asiancity outside Japantohost the Winter
Games.
Munich, bidding to become the first city
to stage both the Summer and Winter
the first round.

this time will be two figure skating stars:
Former two-time Olympic gold medalist
Katarina Witt chairs the Munichbid, while
20-year-old reigning champion Kim Yu-na
isakeyfaceinthePyeongchangdelegation.
On paper, Pyeongchang would seem to
have everything going for it: The persist-
ence of biddingseveral times over10years,
geography, the promise to develop winter
sports in a new market of Asia, strong na-
tional prioritygiventothebid, compactlay-
out of the venues.
The recent trend of sports bodies in tak-
ingtheir major events tonewterritories al-
so plays in Pyeongchangs favor.
Russiawill host its first Winter Olympics
in 2014 in Sochi; Rio de Janeiro will be the
first South American city to stage the
Olympics in 2016; the 2018 World Cup will
take place in Russia and the 2022 tourna-
ment in Qatar.
Its no coincidence that Pyeongchangs
bid slogan is NewHorizons.
The Winter Games have beenheldtwice
in Asia, both times in Japan Sapporo
(1972) and Nagano (1998).

RALEIGH, N.C. Lorenzo
Charles was remembered Satur-
day for more than a last-second
dunk that remains one of the
NCAA tournaments signature
moments.
Charles funeral was held five
days after the hero of North Car-
olina States title-winning upset
of Houstonin1983was killedina
single-vehicle bus wreck.
Its a tough time for family,
teammates, fans and friends, but
its also a time to celebrate and
reflect on a wonderful mans
life, teammate Dereck Whitten-
burg said.
Charles caught Whittenburgs
30-foot heave and dunked it at
the buzzer togive underdogN.C.
State its second national cham-
pionship. Late coach Jim Valva-
no scurried onto the court dur-
ing the wild celebration in Albu-
querque, N.M., searching for
anyone to hug and creating an
unforgettablehighlight that is re-
played every March.
For the past 28 years, Loren-
zo and I have been linked togeth-
er in one championship mo-
ment, Whittenburg said, and
well be linked forever.
Charles was also remembered
for his imposing presence on the
court and a different sort of de-
meanor off it.
Lorenzo was always a strong
guy, a big, powerful guy, team-
mate and best friend Cozell
McQueen said. But at the same
time, he was a gentle guy.
Whittenburg recalled making
fast-foodruns withCharles when
they were still in school. His
niece Ericka Charles said she
once asked her uncle, who em-
braced his second career as a
charter bus and limousine driv-
er, who his most famous passen-
ger was.
He said, I drove Lorenzo
Charles, she said, drawing
laughs from the crowd.
Charles scored 1,535 total
points 15th on the N.C. State
scoringlist andhis .575shoot-
ing percentage in1985 remains a
school record for seniors. He
played one season in the NBA,
averaging 3.4 points in 36 games
with the Atlanta Hawks in 1985-
86, then played internationally
and in the Continental Basket-
ball Association until 1999, be-
fore he started his second career
as a driver.
More than anything else, I
know that Lorenzo meant much
more to his family, his team-

n Wednesday I had the opportu-
nity to help the Pennsylvania
Game Commission trap and
band Canada geese at several locations
in Luzerne and Wyoming counties.
Anytime I get to accompany PGC
biologists in the field, its always an
interesting experience. The goose band-
ing was no different.
At the first three locations approxi-
mately 70 geese were trapped and band-
ed, and they all seemed strong and
healthy.
Except one.
As I held a male gosling while PGC
biologist Ian Gregg prepared to apply a
band, we noticed a deformation around
the young gooses leg.
It was a ring-like depression that cut
deep into the goslings leg, a few inches
above its foot.
The goslings leg looked like a sapling
that was girdled by a wire. Except in
this case, the culprit was a long strand
of discarded fishing line.
The monofilament had wrapped
tightly around the goslings leg. As the
young goose grew, the line got tighter
and began to cut deep into its leg.
Eventually, the line couldve amputat-
ed the leg and the gosling probably
wouldnt have survived for much longer.
With surgical precision, Gregg care-
fully removed the wrapped line with the
tip of a pocket knife before banding and
releasing the goose.
It was a close call that had a happy
ending, but in most cases involving
wildlife and fishing line, the endings are
deadly.
A few weeks ago I wrote about the
glut of tangled fishing line strewn along
the shore at Frances Slocum lake. An
aquatic ecologist in Florida emailed me
after the column appeared and said the
monofilament problem is just as bad in
his state.
But he did offer a solution.
In Florida, receptacles to collect and
recycle monofilament are set out at
sporting goods stores, state parks and
other popular fishing areas. They have
proven effective in the amount of mono-
filament that is discarded along water-
ways, and oftentimes a Scout group
constructs and maintains the recepta-
cles as a project.
The receptacles are easy to make
using a two-foot length of six-inch PVC
pipe and a few tools (for complete in-
structions, visit www.timesleader.com
and click on Sports and Outdoors).
Theres not much to it, but the benefits
from each receptacle can be enormous.
The receptacles alone, however,
arent enough. Along with a place for
anglers to deposit their used fishing
line, they also need to know why its
important not to leave it laying along
the shore.
Monofilament is a single strand of
strong, flexible plastic. It is non-bio-
degradable and can last for hundreds of
years. To make matters worse, its diffi-
cult for wildlife to see and easy for them
to become entangled in it or even ingest
fishing line.
The Monofilament Recovery Program
website (www.fishinglinerecycling.org)
has all the horror stories about wildlife
perishing from fishing line entangle-
ment or ingestion.
And they also have plenty of good
ideas on how to collect and recycle
monofilament.
Its something that the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission should work
to implement in our state. Discarded
fishing line is a serious problem in
Pennsylvania. Take a walk along any
popular fishing spot and its almost
guaranteed that you will find fishing
line strewn along the shore or wrapped
in a branch.
It doesnt belong there.
And it certainly didnt belong wrap-
ped tightly around the leg of a gosling.

The Pennsylvania Board of Game Com-
missioners on Tuesday took the final
regulatory step toward allowing an adult
mentor to transfer an antlerless deer
license to a Mentored Youth Hunting
Program participant, and the new oppor-
tunity will take effect for the upcoming
2011-12 deer seasons.
At its October meeting, the board
unanimously approved a resolution,
introduced by Game Commissioner Jay
Delaney, to support legislative efforts to
allow adult mentors to transfer one
antlerless deer license or permit to a
youth younger than 12 participating in
the MYHP.
While mentored youth still may not
apply for an antlerless deer license, the
new regulation authorizes adult mentors
to transfer one antlerless deer license to
an eligible mentored youth. The antler-
less license must be valid and in the
possession of the adult mentor at all
times while hunting. The transfer of the
antlerless license may not occur until
after the mentored youth has harvested
the antlerless deer. At that time, the
license is to be transferred to the men-
tored youth to complete the harvest
information and attach the carcass tag. A
mentored youth may receive no more
than one antlerless deer license in a
license year.
Following the hunt, the adult mentor
must report the harvest through the
Game Commissions online harvest re-
porting system, the toll-free telephone
harvest reporting number or mail in the
report card. The report does not need to
indicate that a mentored youth used the
antlerless deer license.
Under the MYHP, a mentor is defined
as a properly licensed individual at least
21 years of age who will serve as a guide
to a youth while engaged in hunting or
related activities, such as scouting, learn-
ing firearms or hunter safety and wildlife
identification. A mentored youth is iden-
tified as an unlicensed individual younger
than 12 who is accompanied by a mentor
while engaged in hunting or related
activities.
Legal species presently approved for
the MYHP are squirrels, groundhogs,
coyotes, antlered and antlerless deer and
spring gobbler.
The bald eagle has surpassed a mile-
stone of 200 active nests this year in the
commonwealth, according to the Penn-
sylvania Game Commission.
So far this year, 203 bald eagle nests
in 50 counties have been recorded in
the state. As recently as 1983, only three
Crawford County nests remained in the
state.
For 2011, counties supporting the large-
st numbers of known nesting pairs are:
Crawford, 19; Pike, 19; Lancaster, 18; York
10; and Northumberland, 8.
Game Commission biologists noted
that reporting on eagle nests is anything
but an exact science. In 2010, the late-
June nest count was 192; but that num-
ber increased to 199 by the end of the
year. In 2009, the June nest count was at
least 170; it increased by four by the end
of the year. More dramatically, in 2008,
the June estimate was 140 known nests;
the final nest count was 156.
This years complete list of counties
and number of known, active bald eagle
nests are: Allegheny, 1; Armstrong, 4;
Berks, 5; Bradford, 2; Bucks, 4; Butler, 5;
Cameron, 1; Carbon, 3; Centre, 1; Chester,
5; Clarion, 1; Clearfield, 1; Clinton, 1; Colum-
bia, 1; Crawford, 19; Cumberland, 2; Dau-
phin, 3; Delaware, 1; Elk, 3; Erie, 8; Forest,
1; Franklin, 1; Huntington, 4; Jefferson, 2;

cer, 7; Mifflin, 3; Monroe, 3; Montgomery,

O U T D O O R S N O T E B O O K
Schreffler, voted
against the resolu-
tion.
Weaner said the
PGC has nothing to
gain and a lot to lose
by coming out in
support of Sunday
hunting before the
Legislature acts to lift
the prohibition.
For one, he said,
such a move could
upset landowners
who open their prop-
erty to hunting.
Secondly, accord-
ing to Weaner, imple-
menting Sunday
hunting wont be the
cure-all to increase
license sales and
generate more reve-
nue for the PGC and
businesses that cater
to hunters.
Sunday hunting is
not the magic bullet,
Weaner said. It
wont sell more li-
censes, it wont bring
in more money and it
will irritate a lot of
landowners who own
80 percent of the land
in the state that we
hunt on.
Delaney said in the
other 43 states that
allow Sunday hunt-
ing things have
worked out well. In
Ohio, which legalized
Sunday hunting in
2002, there were the
same concerns that
landowners would
post their property as
a result.
That hasnt hap-
pened, Delaney said,
adding that the pro-
hibition on Sunday
hunting is essentially
preventing hunters
from utilizing the
public lands that
were purchased via
revenue from license
sales.
By not having
Sunday hunting were
basically preventing
the people who
bought and paid for
the state game lands
from using them,
Delaney said.
How could 43
other states (allow
Sunday hunting) and
theres no issues or
problems?
Weaner countered
that the states that
allow Sunday hunt-
ing arent selling
more hunting licens-
es as a result and
many are actually
experiencing declin-
ing sales.
If HB1760 does
pass, it remains to be
seen for what species
the PGC will allow to
be hunted on Sunday.
Delaney said recom-
mendations from
PGC staff and input
from stakeholders
will play a role in that
determination.
We will consider
those things before
anything happens,
he said. This is
about choice and
giving the agency the
regulatory authority.
The opportunities
can be debated at a
future time.
Weaner said there
are indications that
Sunday hunting will
be utilized for small
game, but he doesnt
believe it. The driv-
ing factor is adding
Sunday hunting to
deer season, he said.
The people that
want Sunday hunting
want it for deer sea-
son. Thats the bot-
tom line, Weaner
said. Its all about
deer season. It makes
no sense at all that
the same people
clamoring there are
no deer are also
saying they want
Sunday hunting.
Staback doesnt
expect HB1760 to be
voted on until the fall
or the end of the
year. Before it comes
out of committee,
Staback said, he
wants to have sup-
port lined up in the
Senate.
In the meantime,
the House Game and
Fisheries Committee
will hold several
public hearings on
the issue throughout
the state. Staback
said he is working on
getting a hearing in
the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton area.
There is a lot of
support for the Sun-
day hunting concept
in this area, he said.
We still have some
hurdles, but with so
many high-profile
organizations and
now the PGC sup-
porting this, I think
its closer than ever
before.
For several years
state Rep. Ed Staback
has tried to make
Sunday hunting a
reality.
Today, he feels that
is closer to happen-
ing than ever, thanks
to the support from
the Pennsylvania
Game Commission.
The PGC coming
out is a big plus,
said Staback, D-
Archbald. In the
past all we could get
them to do was take
a neutral stand. This
is a step in the right
direction.
Last Wednesday a
bill designed to re-
move the prohibition
on Sunday hunting
was handed over to
the House Game and
Fisheries Committee.
Other attempts to
legalize Sunday hunt-
ing never came to
fruition.
But what makes
this instance different
is a day before HB
1760 made its appear-
ance, the PGC board
voiced its support.
During its June
meeting last Tuesday,
the PGC board voted
4-3 to approve a
resolution supporting
the repeal of the
prohibition on Sun-
day hunting. Its the
first time that the
PGC formally issued
its support for the
move, and it provides
more ammunition to
those legislators who
want to see Sunday
hunting be imple-
mented in the state.
Pennsylvania is one
of seven states in the
country that doesnt
allow Sunday hunt-
ing. In early June, the
Virginia Board of
Game and Inland
Fisheries also passed
a resolution support-
ing Sunday hunting
in that state.
By taking this
bold action the Penn-
sylvania Game Com-
mission not only
recognizes that Sun-
day hunting, when
introduced properly,
would be a boost to
the sport of hunting
and to the states
economy, but also
that decisions on
seasons and bag
limits are best left to
the state agency
specifically charged
with that responsib-
ility, Staback said.
The Game Com-
missions resolution
states that Pennsylva-
nia hunters should
not be treated differ-
ently than hunters in
43 other states that
may hunt some spe-
cies on Sunday if
they choose to do
so.
The difference
between past Sunday
hunting bills and HB
1760 is not only does
it lift the prohibition,
it also mandates that
the Game Commis-
sion implement Sun-
day hunting in some
form.
How that is done
will be up to the
PGC.
Commissioner Jay
Delaney of Wilkes-
Barre, who repre-
sents the Northeast
Region, introduced
the resolution. He
said there are a num-
ber of ways Sunday
hunting can be imple-
mented on public
land only, for youth
hunters or limited to
small game, for ex-
ample but there is
one paragraph in the
resolution that Dela-
ney intends to con-
sider first before
supporting any Sun-
day hunting proposal.
Its the second to
last paragraph of the
resolution that states
the board will listen
to all stakeholders
before passing any
new regulations in
regard to Sunday
hunting, Delaney
said. Theres no rush
to judgment here.
PGC board presi-
dent Ron Weaner of
Adams County al-
ready has made a
judgment on the
Sunday hunting
issue. Weaner, along
with commissioners
Tom Boop and David
Game Commissions support of House measure boosts chances
of Pennsylvania finally joining 43 other states in permitting Sunday hunting

Saturday in the second match of
the Copa America.
Adrian Ramos scored in the
45th minute, finally breaking
throughafter CostaRicasRandall

a straight red card.
Colombia leads Group A from
Bolivia and Argentina following
their 1-1 draw on Friday in the
tournament opener. Costa Rica,
playing as a guest team in the
SouthAmericanchampionship, is
without a point and is fielding a
youth team, as is Mexico.
To start with a victory always
gives you confidence, Ramos
said. It wasnt a clear victory, but
the important thing is that we
won.
Colombia was unimpressive,
seldom dominating a short-hand-
ed team featuring mostly young,
inexperienced players. Colombia

gentina on Wednesday with the
Gauchos under pressure at home
after a disappointing opening
match.
Brenes was sent off after a hard
tackle, but Colombia struggled to
take advantage.
Ramos broke through on an in-
dividual effort. Taking a through
pass, he raced into the area and
then dribbled around Costa Rica
goalkeeper Leonel Moreira before
slotting home fromshort range.
Colombia star forward Falcao

Colombia coach Hernan Dario
Gomez said this week he would
resign if the team failed to reach
the quarterfinals. Despite a poor
game, the victory was a big step
for Colombia to reach the second
round.

HAMBURG, Germany
Wladimir Klitschko wanted to
punish David Haye for all the
trashtalking he didleading upto
their title fight. He settled for
merely making Haye another
statistic in his dominating
heavyweight run.
Matched up against an oppo-
nent who didnt fight nearly as
well as he talked, Klitschko dom-
inated fromthe opening bell Sat-
urday night on his way to a lop-
sided decision win in a fight that
did not live up to its advance
hype.
He was scared to fight me,
Klitschko said. I was expecting
more of a challenge in the ring,
but he was super defensive.
The win was the 14th straight
for Klitschko and improved his
record to 17-2 in title fights.
More importantly, he captured
Hayes version of the heavy-
weight title, giving he and his
brother, Vitali, all the major
heavyweight title belts.
The two have long promised
their mother they would never
fight each other, but Vitali was in
Wladimirs corner and ready to
celebrate with him after the win
in a rain-soaked soccer stadium
in Hamburg.
Were celebrating with my
brother that weve collected all
the belts inthe heavyweight divi-
sion, Klitschko said. It wasnt
as spectacular as I expected, but
I was trying.
Haye had been expected to
give Klitschko one of his most
difficult fights, but he fought
sparingly, seemingly afraid to
take punches to the head as part
of the cost of getting inside
against his larger opponent.
Haye blamed a broken toe suf-
fered three weeks before the
fight, taking off his shoe in the
ring afterward to show it off.
I couldnt give everything I
needed to, it was really frustrat-
ing, Haye saidinthe ring. I had
to knock him out and unfortu-
nately I couldnt do it.
Klitschko was never able to re-
ally knock Haye down, though
the Englishman was down quite
often. Haye went to the canvas
repeatedly on slips and flops,
and finally referee Genaro Rodri-
guez had enough of it and gave
Haye a count when he went
down in the 11th round.
Haye won only one round on
one ringside judges scorecards,
though that didnt stop himfrom
raising his hand in victory when
the bell rang to end the 12th
round.
All three judges gave it to
Klitschko by large margins, scor-
ing the 12-round showdown 117-
109, 118-108 and 116-110.
Haye, who stirred most of the
hype with often crass trash-talk-
ing, had vowed to leave Klitsch-
ko quivering on the canvas. But
he never gave himself an oppor-
tunity for a knockout by spend-
ing much of the fight on the out-
side.
He said he could not push off
on his fight foot to get to Klitsch-
ko because of the injury, though
he conceded that he was facing a
big, strong opponent who gave
him fits. The 6-foot-6 Klitschko
had a 3-inch height advantage
and weighed in at 242 pounds to
213 for the 30-year-old Haye.
It was subpar, nowhere near
as good as I would have liked,
Haye said. He fought the per-
fect game plan for someone with
my style.
Haye, a former cruiserweight
champion who had held the
WBA heavyweight title, had
campaigned for two years for a
fight against one of the Klitschko
brothers and his popularity in
Britainallowedhimtogaina 50/
50 split of the purse. But his con-
stant trash talking clearly irrita-
ted Klitschko.
That didnt happen, either, ina
fight that didnt get good until
the final round, when Haye land-
ed a right hand to the head and
Klitschko came back to landa se-
ries of jabs andrights to the head
of Haye.

BRADENTON, Fla. While
the young tennis and golf proteg-
es perfected their strokes and
swings on the IMG Academies
campus last March, an impres-
sive trio of former, current and
soon-to-be NFL quarterbacks
gatheredonone of the back fields
at the facility.
Warren Moon, the Hall of Fam-
er who played17 NFL seasons af-
ter beginning his career in Cana-
da, was inBradentonto give Cam
Newton some last-minute in-
struction before Newtons pro
scouting day at Auburn.
Josh Freeman, Tampa Bays
third-year quarterback, also was
training at IMG that day and de-
cided to join Moon and Newton.
Freeman, 6-6 and 248 pounds,
saw in the 6-5, 248-pound New-
ton an athlete with a remarkably
similar build, but a unique skill
set.
I got a day inworkingout with
him trying to size him up, and
kind of give him some advice,
Freeman said. Id say hes a very
gifted athlete.
Freeman was back on the IMG
campus Tuesday for the start of
the Buccaneers three-day mini-
camp that he organized. A num-
ber of analysts comparedNewton
to Freeman after the Panthers
made Newton the No. 1 overall
pick in the April draft.
But Freeman is not so sure.
Hes a little faster than me. He
definitely does more on the
ground than I do, Freeman said.
But at the same time, like as far
as a pocket passer, its kindof sim-
ilar. Were kind of a different kind
of athlete. Similar builds, but hes
just a different kind of athlete.
That was Freemans nice way
of saying Newton does not yet
possess Freemans pocket skills.
But Freeman, 23, was far from
a finished product when he en-
tered the league as a first-round
pick (17th overall) from Kansas
State in 2009.
After throwing 18 intercep-
tions in10 games his rookie year,
Freeman spent the offseason
studying film to become a more
efficient passer in 2010.
It worked.
Freeman cut his interceptions
to six, tossed 25 touchdowns and
sawhis quarterback rating rocket
from 59.8 to 95.9. He is a danger-
ous runner, but only as a last op-
tion.
Refining his comfort level in
the pocket and improving his
ability to read defenses are
among the things Newton hopes
to accomplish at his sessions at
IMG. He has worked with former
Panthers quarterback Chris
Weinke, the director of IMGs
football academy, and ex-NFL
quarterback Ken Dorsey, who
played for Panthers offensive co-
ordinator Rob Chudzinski at the
University of Miami.
Newton was in Charlotte for
two weeks this month for the vol-
untary workouts organized by of-
fensive linemen Travelle Whar-
ton and Jordan Gross. But be-
cause of the lockout, Newton will
go into his first training camp
without having participated in
any minicamps or team-run prac-
tices.
As far as beinga quarterback, I
know this offseason has to be
rough on him, Freeman said.
But I know theyve got enough
leaders over there in their locker
room that theyre going to rally
around him. Hopefully, theyre
not too good, though.

Saturday, but
things will go

approaching

brought a few

In between,
there will be
peeks of sun, but
also the threat
for some thun-

and heavy down-
pours. If your
plans take you
outdoors, be
sure to have a
plan set for
when weather

Independence

brighten, with
less humid con-

will be slightly
cooler, but tem-
peratures will
still remain in
the low to mid
80s.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A low pressure system extending from the northern Plains to the Mid-Atlantic
and Northeast will be responsible for scattered showers and thunderstorms for much of the eastern
United States today. A ridge of high pressure over the Upper Midwest will keep portions of the Great

BUSINESS S E C T I O N D
THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JULY 3, 2011
timesleader.com
A
s states leave no stone unturned
in their attempts to balance
budgets, one revenue source is
looking like a popular target; applying
the sales tax to items purchased online
from out-of-state sellers. The prospects
for such a tax seem to vary with the
desperation of leaders to plug financial
holes and with the ideological convic-
tions of the governor.
In Pennsylvania, legislative proposals
to adopt this levy were placed on sim-
mer as the larger battle of the budget
took precedence, said state Rep. Phyllis
Mundy, D-Kingston.
Theres been a lot of talk, Mundy
said last week, including a public hear-
ing that included members of the Fi-
nance Committee, which she serves on.
Aside from the potential revenue
that now goes uncollected, many peo-
ple see the absence of sales tax on
internet commerce as an issue of fair-
ness. Mundy mentioned a presentation
made to her committee by brick and
mortar retailers, demonstrating how
unfair it is to the mom and pops and
even Wal-Mart and Best Buy.
But major retailers and many small
businesses also sell online, so theyd
have to collect and remit taxes as well.
That leads to some ambivalence. Mun-
dy cited a longtime friend who owns a
jewelry store and said she would only
support a tax at the federal level, since
she sells online to customers in other
states and a patchwork of tax and no-
tax jurisdictions would be difficult to
manage.
Theres no question where online
giants such as Amazon stand on the
issue. Already theyve cut off relation-
ships with affiliates in states that have
adopted the tax, most recently Cali-
fornia. Thats a huge market and you
have to wonder how long Amazon
would want to give up a portion of its
sales there.
Pennsylvania is in a bit different
position, since a 1992 Supreme Court
ruling allows states to force businesses
to collect sales taxes if they have a
physical presence in the state.
Amazon has distribution centers
here, including one opened in 2008 in
the Humboldt Industrial Park with the
help of nearly $2 million in state grant
money. Maybe if our state adopts a tax
that Amazon chooses to fight we
should ask for that back.
Theres little doubt Pennsylvania
could use the tax revenue, estimated
by Revenue Secretary Dan Meuser at
up to $350 million a year. But his plan
to collect it by asking more promi-
nently on residents annual tax return
doesnt hold much promise. Yes, we are
supposed to voluntarily pay the tax on
your out-of-state purchases, though few
of us do so.
In an ideal world, this issue would be
decided in Washington, since internet
commerce so easily and pervasively
crosses state borders. But the climate
of budget discussions there is so toxic
theres no hope of that. In the mean-
time, states will continue to grasp at
revenue sources and this is certainly a
logical one.
Some opponents will argue that the
expense of collecting and paying taxes
potentially to 50 states will sap online
businesses profit, causing them to go
under. I doubt thats true in the case of
Amazon and the like; for smaller busi-
nesses, surely plenty of programmers
already are working on software that
could be added to websites and would
spit out checks monthly.
Lets let common sense prevail on
this issue; if were going to apply sales
tax to purchases, it should be done
uniformly and fairly. If Washington
wont do it, states have every right to
step in.
And maybe we should acknowledge
that if collecting the same taxes as
physical stores have for decades means
the end of an online business, perhaps
it was not a viable business model to
begin with.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. John Russos
chemical lab in North Kingstown has
been growing in recent years, even de-
spite a deflated economy, and he ex-
pects to add another 15 to 20 positions
to his 49 employees over the next year.
But the president of Ultra Scientific
Analytical Solutions has found himself
in a vexing spot, struggling to fill open-
ings that require specialized training in
a state where the jobless rate is close to
11 percent, the third-highest in the na-
tion.
Its very difficult to findthe right per-
son, and theres all walks of life trying to
find jobs. I honestly think theres a large
swath of unemployable, said Russo,
whose firm manufactures and supplies
analytical standards. They dont have
any skills at all.
Hes talking about the so-called skills
gap, a national problem that has left
businesses without a crucial pipeline of
the skilled workers they need in a rap-
idly changing economy.
States fromRhode Islandto Washing-
ton are taking steps to address the gulf.
Michigan launched a No Worker Left
Behind initiative, allowing unemploy-
ed or low-wage workers to get up to
$10,000 in free tuition for community
college study or other training. Several
legislatures passed bills creating life-
long learning accounts, which, like a
401(k), helpworkers save for education,
training or apprenticeships. The Aspen
Institute is spearheading a national
campaign that aims to do something
that hasnt happenednearlyenough: get
community colleges and employers
talking.
The needfor suchefforts, experts say,
is enormous.
In a major report in February, Har-
vard University highlighted what it
called the forgotten half of young
adults who are unprepared to enter the
work force. Some drop out of high
school. Some whofinishcant affordcol-
lege. And some who can afford it find
that what theyve learned in college or
vocational programs doesnt match em-
ployers demands.
Our system for preparing young
adults is broken, said William Sy-
monds, director of the Pathways to
Prosperity Project at Harvards Gradu-
ate School of Education. Were not say-

ILKES-BARRE Robbie Burgit has brought Soul to the streets of Wilkes-Barre.
Burgit, owner of Burgits City Taxi, has purchased a fleet of new, fuel-efficient Kia
Soul hatchbacks to replace his old gas-guzzlers.
Thefirst four newcabs Burgit purchasedhit thestreets April 21andwerefollowedbysix
more in May. In October, he plans to order three more, completely replacing a fleet of
second-hand minivans and sedans.
Theyre so popular its unbelievable, Burgit said. People say they look European.
You always want to give as much
as you can to the riding public, be-
cause theypayyour bills, he contin-
ued. You want to give them every-
thing you can. Its a way of saying
thank you, and its just smart busi-
ness.
Burgit said the rising cost of gas
compelled him to consider buying
new, more fuel-efficient cars, and
has made the purchase worthwhile.
Hesaidhetypicallyspent approxi-
mately $210,000 each year on gas
and replacement vehicles, which he
had purchased used at dealer auc-
tions. Roughly$170,000of that went
into the gas tanks of his older, less
fuel-efficient cars.
I wassayinghowcanI dothisbet-
ter, Burgit said. HowcanI doabet-
ter job spending this money?
The Kias, with fuel efficiency rat-
ings of 24 miles per gallon in town
and 30 on the highway, should cut
his fuel expenses to less than
$90,000, leaving himroomto spend
more on vehicles.
The Souls eight airbags shouldal-
so help reduce insurance costs, Bur-
git said. The vehicles also are under
warranty for the first 60,000 miles
about a year in the life of one of Bur-
gits cabs andare brandnew, sothe
companys maintenance costs
should also be drastically cut.

NEW YORK
The queen of
New York real
estate once lived
in a rent-con-
trolled studio. Il-
legally.
Barbara Cor-
coran says the living arrange-
ment was instrumental in help-
ing free upcashfor The Corcoran
Group, which was still a strug-
gling real estate firm at the time.
The brokerage went on to be-
comeanindustrypowerhousebe-
foreshesoldit in2001for $66mil-
lion.
Corcoran, 62, is now a contrib-
utor for NBCs Today show,
where she comments on real es-
tate trends. Shes also an investor
on ABCs reality show, Shark
Tank. She lives in a three-bed-
room apartment on Park Avenue
with her husband, their 17-year-
old son and 5-year-old daughter.
In an interviewwith The Asso-
ciatedPress, Corcoransharedher
experiences as a renter and first-
time homebuyer. She also shared
some advice for todays uncertain
market. One tip for sellers? Your
neighbors are your enemies.
Q: What was your most memo-
rable renting experience in New
York City?
A: I was rentinga one-bedroom
for $1,800 a month with my hus-
band in the1980s. It was after the
stock market crash and my busi-
ness was going through a tough
period.
Wemovedout of our houseand
into an illegal, rent-controlled
studio that belonged to my hus-
bands cousin. It was a fourth-
floor walk-up, $343 a month. I re-
member the exact rent.
It was painted all lavender. I
knew what I was doing was ille-
gal. But we lived there for over
twoyears, andit helpedwithcash
flow until the business got back
on its feet.
Q: Howabout thefirst timeyou
bought a place. What was the
most important lesson you
learned?
A: I tried to buy in 1977 when
prices were just beginning to go
throughtheroof. I fell inlovewith
this top story, one-bedroom
apartment in Greenwich Village.
The price was $35,000, and I had
saved $4,000.
But I got scared and intention-
ally failed the co-op interview. I
chickened out. I was just too
frightened to make a commit-
ment. They said they didnt want
me in the building and refused to
return my ($3,500) deposit.

BALTIMORE The two
young entrepreneurs did every-
thing right to launch a startup
company in Baltimore: They de-
velopeda bright idea. Theywona
local business competition. They
networked.
But whenit came time for Nick
Miller and Adam Zilberbaum to
take their business to the next
level, the creators of Parking Pan-
da a smartphone app that
helps people rent out their park-
ing spots took their fledgling
company to the Big Apple.
What lured themaway? Abusi-
ness accelerator that offered the
pair $25,000, three months of of-
fice space in Times Square and
the chance to schmooze with
New Yorks high-profile entrepre-
neurs and venture capitalists.
Having the opportunity in
New York and not having one at
all in Baltimore makes the deci-
sion a little bit easier, Miller
said. Its reallyagreat opportuni-
ty to meet people who will help
our business grow.
Baltimore might have had its
own private accelerator in place
this summer Miller andZilber-
baum applied for it but orga-
nizers couldnt pull together the
necessary funding.
From Silicon Valley in Califor-
nia to Silicon Alley in New York
City, business accelerators are
drawing attention from venture
capitalists and attracting star-
tups striving to be the next Face-
book or Twitter. For many fresh-
faced entrepreneurs, such pro-
grams fill the gapbetweenhaving
a good idea and creating a work-
ing prototype.
For other cities, there is a risk
of getting lapped in the race to
lure promising entrepreneurs if
the local technology community
cant develop its own accelerator
program.
Accelerators are short-term, in-
tensiveboot camps, helpingfoun-
ders through the earliest steps of
buildingasolidbusiness planand
a prototype website or product.
In exchange for money and
guidance, an accelerator compa-
ny will give its investors a small
stake, ranging from 4 percent to
10 percent.
They differ frombusiness incu-
bators, which might nurture an
already-focused startup for a cou-
ple of years and help it attract
new customers.
Most of the accelerators grab-
bing headlines these days are
funded by private investors. The
concept has spread beyond the
usual tech hubs to cities such as
Philadelphia and Boulder, Colo.

PHILADELPHIA Remem-
ber when the experts said that
most Americans would telecom-
mute from home offices to work
every day?
Hasnt happened, althoughever-
evolving technology has made the
notionmore viable. Thinklaptops,
netbooks, printers, smartphones,
and tablets, networked through a
wireless router to a high-speed In-
ternet connection.
Thanks to wireless technology,
you dont even need a physical
home office although if you are
counting on an income-tax deduc-
tion, theIRSrequires that spacebe
dedicated to that purpose.
Dont needthededuction? Then
the home office is everywhere,
saidSteveMelman, directorof eco-
nomic services at the National As-
sociation of Home Builders.
About 2 percent of U.S. workers
the self-employed and unpaid
volunteers excluded consider
hometheir primaryworkplace, the
Telework Research Network says.
It estimates that 20 million to 30
million people work fromhome at
least one day a week.
Thats hardly everyone, though
it is morethantheBureauof Labor
Statistics 2001 figure of 19.5 mil-
lion.
Two additional factors have had
a huge effect on the number of
home offices; the flagging econo-
my and an overall demand for af-
fordability that has resulted from
it.
Members of the home builders
group were surveyed at the end of
2010about what newhomesmight
look like in 2015, Melman said.
The consensus: Most future
home buyers (read: younger
buyers) will use the portability of
electronic devices to make the
most of less square footage.
Thats a far cry from the home-
office-as-emerging-trend of the
1990s, when telecommuting de-
pended on having a work space
that could accommodate, in addi-
tiontodeskandchair, a telephone,
a desktop computer, a modem, a
printer, a file cabinet and storage
for floppy disks (remember
those?).
When the need for data speed
overwhelmed standard wiring,
Category 5, an advanced system
providing Internet access at
speeds 200 times faster, required
owners of older homes to rip open
walls to upgrade their service.
Newlybuilt homes hadthe less ex-
pensive advantage, until wireless
technology leveled the playing
field.
Today, for about $60, a single-
band wireless router allows you to
create a building-wide network of
computers, printers, and other de-
vices linked to a single Internet
source a cable modem.
If youll beworkingfor longperi-
ods in your home office, think er-
gonomically. A good source of in-
formation about furniture and de-
sign is at http://is.gd/epQjQA.

I didnt have a car inthe garage
for a month, Burgit said. In the
taxi industry thats unheard of. I
didnt knowwhat todo.
And the new Kias arent just
moreeconomical thanBurgits old
fleet cars, they have a lot more to
offer.
Inside, the cars are surprisingly
roomy, with comparable legroom
to larger sedans, and the higher
ceilings addtothespaciousness of
theinterior. Theycanlegallycarry
the same number of passengers
four plus the driver and the rear
seats fold down to accommodate
large packages.
They are front-wheel drive with

common in older cabs, like satel-

The cars are already giving Bur-

The car shows up and people

The investment is paying off so
well, Burgit said he is already

ing that the system is failing ev-
erybody, but it is leaving a lot of
young people behind.
Educators and business lead-
ers say that a college for all
mentality is no longer realistic, if
ever it was. Many positions
known as middle-skill jobs
dont require a degree from a
four-year institution. The Geor-
getownCenter onEducationand
the Workforce estimates there
will be 47 millionjob openings in
the decade ending in 2018. Near-
ly half will require only anassoci-
ates degree.
Career and technical educa-
tion programs, once derided as
being for those who couldnt cut
it academically, offer one path.
But growing those programs has
not been a national priority and
their quality is inconsistent at
best. Education Secretary Arne
Duncan has called career and
technical educationthe neglect-
ed stepchild of education re-
form.
U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-
Pa., co-chairman of the biparti-
san Career and Technical Educa-
tion Caucus in Congress, points
to the story of Tricia Reich, 18,
who graduated this month from
the Central Pennsylvania Insti-
tute of Science and Technology.
The school trains students in ev-
erything from heavy equipment
operation and dental assisting to
building construction and land-
scape design.
In the automotive technology
program, Reich learned every-
thing there is to knowabout how
a car works. She spent her third
and final year not in the class-
roombut workingat anautodea-
lership, at first earning $8 an
hour as a service writer. Shes
nowemployedat another dealer-
ship that sells and services Mer-
cedes, Volvos and Audis, saving
money in hopes of attending
community college.
Reich said programs like hers
give students a leg up once
they get in the real world. Its
definitely a big plus, she said.

NEWYORKIts time to give
your small business a checkup.
The midpoint of the year is an
ideal time to look at the company
andsee whats working, andwhat
isnt. And to do some strategic
and financial planning not only
for the second half, but for next
year, too.
Thefirst thingtodois tosched-
ule an appointment with your ac-
countant or financial adviser
and be sure your books are in or-
der before your meeting. If you
have a humanresources provider,
now is also a good time for a get-
together to go over any employee
issues you have.
And take a step back and look
at your business overall. See if
you and your staffers need to be
working in a more productive
manner.
The uneven state of the econo-
my means that many small busi-
ness owners arent sure about
taking any big steps the rest of
the year. For example, buying
newequipment or taking on new
employees. When you meet with
your accountant, you can get a
better sense of what your options
are. They keep up with changes
in the tax law, and also have an
idea of what changes may happen
in the future.
What youll likely hear from a
financial adviser is that you need
to base your business decisions
not only on the next fewmonths,
but on next year as well. Some of
the questions youll need to con-
sider:
Do you expect to make mon-
ey this year? And next year, do
you think youll be making more
money then? Is it better to take a
deduction for big purchases in
this tax year, or wait until next?
Would spending money now
help your business grow? Or is
the economy too uncertain for
you to know?
If youre considering buying
equipment or moving to a differ-
ent location, would you get a bet-
ter deal if you did that now?
Many owners might want to
make decisions based on how
much money they might save on
taxes. But that needs to be just
one factor in everything you con-
sider.
Summer is the big vacation
time for most companies. And
that can raise a number of em-
ployment policy issues.
Employers who have never
bothered to create a vacation pol-
icy can suddenly find that things
get a little chaotic lets say, be-
cause two staffers have plane
tickets and hotel reservations for
the same week.
The first step you need to take
is finding a way to resolve the
conflicts and get the work done.
Can other staffers pitch in? Can
you hire a temporary worker?
Your next priority is creating a
vacation policy that lets staffers
knowhowmanypeoplecanbeoff
at once, and what the procedures
are for requesting vacation. Will
it be first-come, first-served or se-
niority?
Its a good idea to meet with an
HR consultant who can help you
with employee matters. And
probably help you head off prob-
lems in the future.
Besides financial and employ-
ee issues, you should be thinking
about other aspects of your busi-
ness. Are your computers work-
ing well, or do they need mainte-
nance? If you have a manufactur-
ing business, is your equipment
in good shape?
How about the way your com-
pany operates are your proce-
dures efficient? Are your workers
so overwhelmed they cant get
everything done well? Are you
making the most of online tech-
nology that can save you time
and money?
And take a look around your
premises, and see if they need
some renovating, or even clean-
ing. Is your work environment
helpingor hurtingyour business?
Is it a pleasant place, not only for
your employees, but for your cus-
tomers as well?
Looking at all these issues now
can help you do better well past
the second half of 2011.
SMALL TALK
Its time for your businesss midyear checkup
By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG
AP Business Writer
Q: My life at work has become
unbearable. Two years ago, my
immediate boss, with whom I
had a great relationship, was
forced to resign. Shortly thereaf-
ter, I hada serious conflict witha
female colleague who was ex-
tremely close to our department
vice president. After that inci-
dent, my career went downhill,
although I had previously re-
ceived high performance ratings
and a promotion.
I begantolookfor another job,
but the economytooka nosedive
and my wife was diagnosed with
cancer, so leaving was complete-
ly out of the question. Now my
wife is well again, and the econo-
my has improved. But after hav-
ing my self-esteempoundedona
daily basis, I no longer feel confi-
dent that anyone will hire me.
I feel completely powerless to
change this situation. I cant
even bring myself to update my
resume. When I come home
from work, I just eat dinner and
go to bed, dreading the next day.
Can you offer any advice?
A: Given the recent turmoil in
your life, its no wonder youre
feeling emotionally paralyzed.
Sadly, this job is draining you of
the very energy required to es-
cape it. To turn things around,
you must either engage in some
do-it-yourself rehabilitation or
seek out professional help.
First, try to recognize that this
is not the end of the world, but
just a temporary pothole on your
career path. If you can viewyour
current circumstances as transi-
tory, you may begin to feel more
hopeful.
Next, take one small step to-
wards finding another job. De-
pressionmay drainyouof the en-
ergy for action, but the reverse is
also true: action can begin to
lessen your depression. You
might look at career websites,
buy a book on job-search skills,
join a professional association or
call your former boss. After ac-
complishing that initial step,
take another one. And then an-
other.
Finally, instead of turning in
early, go for a walk or hop on a
treadmill. Research has clearly
shown that exercise is an anti-
dote for depression, eventhough
its oftenthe last thingdepressed
people want to do.
If taking these steps seems im-
possible, consider consulting a
qualified mental health profes-
sional. To regain control of your
career, you must first get control
of your emotions.
Q: My employees and my wife
have all said that I frequently
sound condescending. I dont
understand this, and its certain-
ly not what I want to project.
This perceptionis hurtingmy re-
lationships, but I dont know
how to change it.
A: This problem is often expe-
rienced by people who have an
explanatory communication
style. Explanatory communica-
tors try to give their listeners a
complete picture by providing
detailed information. Unfortu-
nately, all this explaining can
sound a lot like lecturing. And
most people dont like being lec-
tured.
To assess your own style, re-
cord some conversations and lis-
ten for specific verbal habits that
may be contributing to this mis-
perception. If youre unable to
spot them, Im sure your wife
will be happy to point them out.

DETROIT American
Dryer, a manufacturer of high-
speed hand dryers, is benefiting
fromdemandfor environmental-
ly friendly products that also re-
duce costs.
In June, the company moved
into a 20,000-square-foot build-
ing that is 40 percent larger than
its prior location and is prepar-
ing to launch a new line of high-
speed hand dryers for public res-
trooms.
Companies in general are
looking for ways to save money,
and our products are one of the
few things that do that, said
Dan Rabahy, 47, president of
American Dryer. Our dryers
the new ones dry your hands
as quickly as paper towels, and
you dont have the mess and
landfill issues you have with pa-
per towels.
Rabahy also said the recession
and downturn in the automotive
industry gave the company an
opportunity to expand because
it drove down commercial prop-
erty values.
Now, advances in technology
have led to dryers with faster
drying times and less noise.
American Dryers new prod-
uct line, called Extreme Air, fea-
tures adjustable speed settings
and is designed to operate at
four voltage levels.
We already have new com-
mitments fromcustomers, so we
are ramping up, Dan Rabahy
said.
With the new building, Amer-
ican Dryer can triple its annual
production capacity from about
30,000 to 90,000 units.
As production increases, the
company saidit will addemploy-
ees toits current 20. DanRabahy
said the number could grow to
40, depending on demand.
Push to cut costs, go green inflates hand-dryer business
By BRENT SNAVELY

American Dryer, a manufactur-
er of high-speed hand dryers, is
benefitting from demand for
environmentally friendly prod-
ucts that also reduce costs.
After that, the prices ran away
from me. It took another eight
long years to save enough money
to buy my first New York City
apartment.
That taught me an important
lesson. The first home is the most
important it gets you into the
game.
Q: So what advice would you
give to first-time buyers given the
state of the housing market?
A: Buy now. Theres so much
negative publicity, and uncertain-
ty is the worst thing for the indus-
try. But you cant sharp shoot the
market and pinpoint when it
might peak. If youdothat, life will
always get in the way.
You always have these cycles.
And when its down it can stay
down for a while. But when it de-
cides to turn the corner, it always
comes back like gangbusters. And
then youll be waiting in line with
all the other buyers.
Buyershavetwogreat advantag-
esright nowlow, lowpricesand
cheap money.
Q: Then theres the negotiation
over theprice. What aresomemis-
takes first-time buyers make?
A: Dont pay attention to asking
prices at all. What people ask for
has nothingtodowiththevalueof
a property. You might see a listing
for $300,000 andthinkyoushould
makea$250,000bid. But hyper-fo-
cus on what the house is worth.
You should know what the house
is worth by looking at comparable
properties. Base your bid on that.
If a house is priced appropriate-
ly, make a bid 10 percent below
that amount.
Q: Ontheother sideof theequa-
tion, what should sellers be doing
differently in todays market?
A: They have to have a different
attitude. They have to remember
that their neighbor is their ene-
my theyre the competition.
When considering where to price
it, itsnot thekindof market where
you price high and see what bids
come in. Because the question ev-
eryone asks besides the price is:
Howlong has it been on the mar-
ket?
Youwant tohave a goodanswer
to that.

BYE, BYE BUYBACKS?
The largest U.S. companies are still
spending money to repurchase stocks,
but there are signs that the buyback
binge may be slowing. Buybacks in the
S&P 500 rose 63 percent to $89.8 billion
in the first quarter. That's up from $55.3
billion in the same period last year. But
the buybacks increased just 4 percent
from the fourth quarter of 2010, even
though stock prices rose by an average
of 8 percent. That indicates companies
are spending more money to buy fewer
shares, says Howard Silverblatt of Stan-
dard & Poors. Buybacks peaked in the
third quarter of 2007, when companies
spent $172 billion repurchasing shares.
Investors pay attention to buybacks be-
cause they can boost a stocks price, at
least temporarily.
EARNINGS PREVIEW
Look for energy companies and
raw materials producers to report
big increases in second-quarter
earnings. Earnings for raw materi-
als companies in the S&P 500 are
expected to rise 48 percent from
the same period in 2010. Earnings
for energy producers will likely go
up 38 percent. Its definitely going
to be another commodities story,
says John Butters, senior earnings
analyst at FactSet. Prices for oil,
copper and other raw materials
have fallen since late April, but
they remain up year-over-year. In-
vestors will get the first glimpse of
the health of raw materials compa-
nies when aluminum maker Alcoa
reports its results on July 11.
FIRST HALF WINNERS
National Semiconductor,
Cabot Oil & Gas, Biogen
and Netflix are all part of an
elite group: theyre some of
the best-performing stocks
of 2011. National Semicon-
ductor saw its shares soar
during the first half of the
year after Texas Instruments
agreed to buy the company
in a deal valued at $6.5 bil-
lion. Cabot got a lift after one
of its natural gas reserves
was more productive than
expected. Biogens earnings
rose on strong sales of the
multiple sclerosis drug Tysa-
bri. And Netflix keep rising
as it gains subscribers.

Rex Macey, chief investment offi-
cer at Wilmington Trust, often
works with high-net-worth individ-
uals. But he says all investors
face similar issues when it comes
to buying stocks.
What issues
do high net-
worth inves-
tors face?
I will say this: I
have dealt with
the wealthy (for
some time) and
theyre not real-
ly any happier
than anybody
else. If it makes
anybody feel
better, they
have the same (problems). The
kids can be into drugs; theyve
got a different set of problems (in
that) they can throw money at it.
But generally speaking, I dont
see that theyre really necessarily
happier. Sometimes, you know,
when you have a lot of choices, it
makes you less happy than when
you have no choices. The rich
have a lot of choices, and this can
drive them nuts.
How are your clients feeling
about the market?
I dont think anybody feels good
about it today, rich or poor. We
believe returns are going to be
muted for years to come. We still
think stocks are better than
bonds.
But were not looking for dou-
ble-digit returns; were still in the
single-digit stock return world as
you look out five to 10 years. The
reason for that is there has been
so much liquidity in the market;
the Fed has flooded (the market
with its $600 billion bond-buying
program). All asset prices are up,
and therefore future returns are
lower than they would be.
Given this environment, how
are you guiding investors port-
folios?
In general, it doesnt make sense
to be very safe. Youre not getting
anything in cash or bonds. We
dont expect a double-dip to hap-
pen. ... But the risks are also
there. Weve got risks about
whats going to happen to U.S.
debt, whats going to happen with
the European debt crisis, we think
theres risk in Japan.
Youve mentioned that you like
companies that pay high divi-
dends.
I think you have to qualify that by
the word quality. You can have a
high dividend-paying stock. What
we also want to look for is: Do
they have stability of earnings?
Do they have a reasonable pay-
out ratio? Is earnings volatility
lower than other stocks? So we
think of quality income as some-
what distinct from just high in-
come. You can have highly lever-
aged companies where we dont
think the income is as safe as
other companies. So we do make
a distinction in what we would call
quality income.
Where are you finding these
high-quality companies?
We like U.S. large-caps. We like
emerging markets. We think the
long-term emerging markets story
is still sound. It is not going to de-
liver the returns it has done in the
past. But we like it as a competi-
tive (alternative) to U.S. equities.
What mistakes are all investors
high-net-worth or low-net-
worth still making?
We still see investors who are in
cash. Anytime youre extreme, as
opposed to balanced, I think
youre making a mistake. You can
chase yield too much. ... I think a
lack of diversification would be a
mistake at this stage of the game.
... Investors typically have a com-
fort zone. And they buy a stock
because its comfortable for them.
They buy Coke -- they know
Coke, they drink Coke, they like
Coke. How can I go wrong with
Coke? They end up with all of
these name brands, but theyre
the same stock over and over
again, because theyre all the
comfort stocks. They dont buy
things that are uncomfortable. If
you buy the same thing, youre

InsiderQ&A
Fertilizer doesnt sound sexy.
But the stocks of companies that
produce it have been some of the
biggest gainers in the market in
the last year. Financial analysts
dont see them stopping soon.
Farmers are buying more
fertilizer because theyre planting
more acres of corn, wheat and other
crops. Prices for crops are near a
record high because demand is
growing along with the global
population, and bad weather around
the world has hurt crops. The price
of corn is up 66 percent over the last
year, through Thursday. Soybeans
are up 43 percent.
We expect global fertilizer
demand to remain strong through-
out 2011 and going into 2012,
Credit Suisse analysts wrote in a
recent report. That means
companies can keep raising
prices. Analysts expect their profits
to also rise.
Agrium, a Canadian fertilizer
producer, said its profits may rise
as much as 38 percent this quarter
from a year ago. Analysts expect
profits at Mosaic and Potash Corp.
of Saskatchewan to rise about 60
percent.
Citi analyst P.J. Juvekar prefers
Mosaic and Potash because they
focus only on making fertilizer.
Some of their rivals have retail
operations and other businesses.
But beware fertilizer stocks
can be volatile Fertilizer prices
rose in 2008, and that helped the
stocks climb despite the recession.
By the summer, though, fertilizer
prices had climbed so quickly that
demand fell. Fertilizer stocks
tumbled: Potash lost 68 percent in
the last six months of 2008.
This time, farmers can afford
the higher prices, analysts say.
Fertilizer stocks also look cheaper
than they did in 2008, based on
their earnings. Potash trades at 16
times its expected earnings over
the next 12 months. Thats below
its 10-year average of 19.

Surging crop prices mean fatter profits for farmers, and they've been spending more of that
cash on fertilizers, helping producers' stocks.

Sticking with small caps
Stock
Screener
For years, financial analysts have asked when the dominance of small-
cap stocks would end. The smallest stocks made the biggest gains after the
bull market began in 2009.
In May, it looked like the run might be over. After closing at a record on
April 29, the Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks sank 10 percent over
the next six weeks. That was worse than the 7 percent drop for large caps.
Both were hit by worries about a slowing U.S. economy and a possible debt
default by Greece.
But small caps have bounced back stronger than large caps since mid-
June. J.P. Morgan small-cap strategist Bhupinder Singh predicts the Russell
2000 will rise 16 percent from Tuesday through the end of 2011.
Singh expects the economy to recover later in 2011 after manufacturing
rebounds from the March 11 earthquake in Japan. Another advantage for
small caps: They have healthier balance sheets than they did at the start
of the year. Theyve cut the amount of debt due within five years by an av-
erage 22 percent.
This screen shows small-cap stocks for contrarians. These stocks have
become popular with short sellers, who bet a stock will fall. Each has at least
15 percent of its shares sold short. But these stocks also are well liked by
analysts. Each has an Overweight rating from J.P. Morgan.

Yields jump to six-week high
The 10-year Treasurys yield climbed to its highest
level in six weeks after a rally for stocks. Demand for
Treasurys, seen as low-risk investments, fell as the
S&P 500 rose five straight days. When Treasury
prices fall, yields rise. Higher yields can pull up con-
sumer loan rates. Abig Treasury buyer exited Thurs-
day, when the Federal Reserve ended its $600 billion
bond-purchase program.

VIEWS S E C T I O N E
THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JULY 3, 2011
timesleader.com
CHRIS CHRISTIE should run for presi-
dent now, assuming he aspires to ever
hold that office. The GOP field for 2012
remains wide open, while there is no
telling how a 2016 (or later) field could
shape up. The economy is the focal point
this cycle, so Christies reputation as a
budget-cutting governor suits the times.
And popularity in politics is often fleet-
ing, particularly for a Republican from
Democrat-heavy New Jersey.
Dan Quayle was once a Hoosier hero
after being elected the youngest U.S.
senator in Indiana history. Four years
ago, actor and former U.S. Sen. Fred
Thompson from Tennessee was seen as
a GOP savior. And there was a time
when the name of South Carolinas for-
mer Gov. Mark Sanford was bandied
about as presidential timber. But politics
is shaped like a football, and there is no
telling where Christies fortunes might
bounce in the years ahead.
Consider that a Quinnipiac University
poll released last week found the gover-
nor with his lowest approval ratings yet
44 percent approve of the job hes
doing, while 47 disapprove. Thats down
from February, when 52 percent ap-
proved of his job performance, and 40
did not. Over the last year, his average
approval rating in seven Quinnipiac polls
has been 48 percent.
Those numbers arent terrible, but
they do reinforce the notion that Chris-
ties re-election in 2013 is far from a
certainty. Hes an aggressive, mostly
conservative chief executive in a fickle,
traditionally Democratic state. And
should he seek re-election and lose, he
will jeopardize his opportunity to run for
president. Witness Rick Santorum. Hes
attempting to break out of the no opin-
ion range in national polls while ex-
plaining how he can be elected president
despite losing his U.S. Senate seat from
Pennsylvania, his home state, by 18
points in 2006.
Christies personality guarantees that
there will be plenty of opportunity for
him to both score and lose political favor.
A question posed during a special inter-
active television show last week was a
prime example.
The incident began when a Garden
State resident named Gail wondered
why the governor, whose children attend
parochial school, felt comfortable cutting
funding for public schools.
Hey, Gail, you know what? Christie
snapped. First off, its none of your
business. I dont ask you where you send
your kids to school. Dont bother me
about where I send mine.
The incident showcased Christies best
and worst.
Those who like him were reinforced in
their belief that he is different: a real guy,
a visceral leader who doesnt put his
finger to the wind when he makes policy
decisions or public statements. Detrac-
tors were reminded that he can also be a
blustery hothead who lives in a glass
house.
During his first year and a half in
office, Christies better half has generally
won out. At home, he has been success-
ful in implementing his fiscal vision and
keeping his political opponents on the
defensive. The most recent example is
the support of the state Legislature
with solid Democratic majorities for
Christies plan to get public employees to
contribute more to their benefits. Across
the country, he has become a media
sensation and a darling of a growing
cadre of conservatives dissatisfied with
the crop of GOP presidential contenders.
Many want Christie to run. A group of
influential GOP donors from first-in-the-
nation Iowa dined at Drumthwacket, the
governors mansion in Princeton, a few
weeks ago in the hopes of pulling him
into the race. For months, Christie has
been unequivocal in his refusals. To the
extent that he believes two years in
office is too soon to advance, he need
only look at the example set by the
present commander in chief, who ran for
president two years after being elected a
U.S. senator.
Now is the time for a national Christie
candidacy. By 2016, the shine might be
off the apple (or the Jersey tomato) and
he could easily be former Gov. Chris-
tie.

BY JULY 3, 1776 the
barracks on Bedloes
Island had been re-
duced to a smoldering
pile of ashes. Colonists
under the command of
George Washington
saw to it. The island
quarters housed British troops and sun-
dry New Yorkers sympathetic to En-
glands cause.
The Continental Congress had appoint-
ed Washington commander in chief of
the Continental Army, and the 43-year-
old Virginian arrived in Massachusetts on
July 3, 1775 to assume his post. It had
been a difficult year for American forces,
and throughout New York and New
Jersey the situation would grow increas-
ingly dire in the months ahead.
Not far from Bedloes Island on July 3,
1776 British general Sir William Howe
landed at Staten Island with an army of
redcoats and Hessians behind him. About
80 miles southwest of Howes landing
point the Second Continental Congress
was meeting in Philadelphia, where Mas-
sachusetts delegate John Adams, the
most outspoken supporter of American
independence, was posting a letter to his
wife Abigail:
Yesterday a resolution was passed
without one dissenting colony, that these
United Colonies are, and of right ought to
be, free and independent states. You will
think me transported with enthusiasm;
but I am not. I am well aware of the toil,
and blood, and treasure, that it will cost
us to maintain this declaration, and sup-
port and defend these states.
To defend the colonies Adams had
propelled Col. Washington to the front of
a continental army centered in New
England. Adams supported the southern
gentleman over fellow New Englanders
to unify his countrys war effort. Adams
did so despite young Washingtons cap-
ture and surrender of Fort Necessity on
July 3, 1754 at the commencement of the
French and Indian War.
Washington, however, went on to
become the preeminent hero of the
American Revolution and president of the
Constitutional Convention of 1787 gather-
ing in Philadelphia.
The convention neared total collapse in
June of that year due to its inability to
agree on the construct of a legislative
branch of government. While larger
states demanded representation predi-
cated on population, others suggested a
second body with equal authority to
protect the interests of states less pop-
ulated.
With time running out the First Com-
mittee of Representation met on July 3,
1787 to search for a compromise and
determine what a second legislative
chamber might look like. The 11-member
committee included the wisdom of Penn-
sylvanias Benjamin Franklin.
And, while traveling in New York on
July 3, 1787, Alexander Hamilton wrote
to Gen. Washington in support of a
strong and workable national govern-
ment.
Years later, not far from where Hamil-
ton penned his July 3 letter, a fortress in
the shape of a 12-pointed star was built
on the 14.7 acres of Bedloes Island. In
1814 it was named in honor of Col. Elen-
zer Wood, mortally wounded in the War
of 1812 and widely believed to be the first
graduate of the U.S. Military Academy to
die in battle.
It was a stark reminder of Adams
admonition concerning the toil, blood
and treasure it would take to maintain
this declaration and support and protect
these states.
Never was that more apparent than
during three tumultuous days in Gettys-
burg culminating on July 3, 1863
when tens of thousands of Americans
gave their lives to preserve the Union and
liberty we celebrate this weekend.
Rarely has the celebration been more
inspiring than when President Ronald
Reagan presided over the unveiling of the
refurbished statue constructed in1886
over Fort Wood on Bedloes Island.
Renamed Liberty Island in1956,
President Reagan ordered the illumi-
nation of the Statue of Liberty and her
torch on the evening of July 3, 1986.

CHICAGO President Barack
Obama is asking supporters to use
Facebook to declare Im In! for his
re-election campaign and is using
Twitter to personally blast out mess-
ages to his nearly 9 million followers.
Emails to supporters seek small-
dollar donations in exchange for cam-
paign coffee mugs or a chance to win
dinner with the president. The cam-
paigns website helps supporters find
local events, plan meetings and raise
money while its digital teamdevelops
the next big thing.
If Obama broke newgroundin2008
using email, text messages and the
Web to reach voters, Obama version
2.0 aims to take the Web campaign to
the next level harnessing the ex-
pansive roles that the Internet and so-
cial media are playing in voters lives.
The Republican presidential field
has also embraced the Web and social
media, turning to Facebook and Twit-
ter to launch their campaigns and di-
recting supporters to Facebook sites
for videos, messages and online dis-
cussions.
The successful campaign is going
to be one that integrates all the vari-
ous elements of the digital channel
email, text, website, mobile apps, and
social networks together as one
digital program and also mixing the
digital program together with the of-
fline reality of field organizations,
said Joe Rospars, the Obama cam-
paigns chief digital strategist.
In the end, Rospars said, all the
digital stuff is in service of the offline
reality of knocking on doors, making
phone calls and ultimately persuad-
ing voters and turning them out.
Obama took advantage of a strong
Internet campaign in 2008 to raise an
estimated $500 million online while
regularly communicating with sup-
porters through text messages, an
email list estimated at more than 13
million and content on his www.Ba-
rackObama.com website.
When Obama was close to an-
nouncing his vice presidential selec-
tion of Joe Biden, the campaign en-
couraged supporters to find out by
text message, a move that prompted

WASHINGTON On June 16, California Democratic Gov.
Jerry Brown vetoed a budget that he said was filled with gim-
micks or as he put it, legally questionable maneuvers, cost-
ly borrowing and unrealistic savings. Editorial boards have
praised Brown for exercising responsible fiscal judgment. But
Brian Joseph of The Orange County Register has written that
Browns own budget plan uses gimmicks, too.
All this begs the question: What qualifies as a budget gim-
mick?
Theres no textbook answer to
that question. But there are certain
techniques that states sometimes
use to make the budget look bal-
anced when it arguably isnt. If
theres one thing all of these tricks
have in common, its that they push
this years budget problem off into
the future.
Here are five common budget
gimmicks states use:
Gimmick 1: Putting off payments
States, like people, have bills to
pay. They usually try to pay those
bills on time. But when times get
tough, they sometimes delay pay-
ments, figuring they can make up
what they owe later.
Illinois is the most famous exam-
ple of a state that has made regular
practice out of delaying payments to
universities, doctors, social service
providers and others by months.
Another example comes from
Minnesota. There, Democratic Gov.
Mark Dayton and a Republican-con-
trolled legislature are locked in a
budget brawl that may end in a state
government shutdown. The two
sides dont agree on much but one
thing they do agree on is that the
state should continue to delay pay-
ments to schools.
These funding shifts have been
taking place on and off in Minnesota
for three decades. Even though the
states fiscal year finishes at the end
of June, schools only receive 70 per-
cent of their funding by then. This
trick started because lawmakers
found it easier to balance the budget
by withholding 30 percent of the
school payment.
The schools carry the money on
their books, says Charlie Kyte, ex-
ecutive director of the Minnesota
Association of School Administra-

Editorial
We have the funding . So
pound your chests, and the
children are going to suffer.
Rep. Frank Dermody
The House minority leader and Allegheny County
Democrat unsuccessfully argued that Republicans
should use a state cash surplus to ease the size of the education cuts
contained in the recently adopted budget.
THE FOURTH of July
might be just a holiday for
fireworks to some people.
But it was a momentous day
for the history of this coun-
try and the history of the
world.
Not only did July 4, 1776 mark American
independence from England, it marked a
radically different kind of government from
the governments that prevailed around the
world at the time and the kinds of govern-
ments that had prevailed for thousands of
years before.
The American Revolution was not simply a
rebellion against the King of England, it was a
rebellion against being ruled by kings in
general. That is why the opening salvo of the
American Revolution was called the shot
heard round the world.
Some clever people today ask whether the
United States has really been exceptional.
You couldnt be more exceptional in the 18th
century than to create your fundamental
document the Constitution by opening
with the momentous words, We the peo-
ple...
Those three words were a slap in the face
to those who thought themselves entitled to
rule, and who regarded the people as if they
were simply human livestock. Indeed, to this
very day, elites who think that way and that
includes many among the intelligentsia, as
well as political messiahs find the Constitu-
tion a real pain because it stands in the way
of their imposing their will and their presum-
ptions on the rest of us.
More than a hundred years ago, so-called
Progressives began a campaign to under-
mine the Constitutions strict limitations on
government, which stood in the way of self-
anointed political crusaders imposing their
grand schemes. That effort to discredit the
Constitution continues to this day, and the
arguments havent really changed much in a
hundred years.
The cover story in the July 4 issue of Time
magazine is a classic example of this arro-
gance. It asks of the Constitution: Does it
still matter?
A long and rambling essay by Time maga-
zines managing editor, Richard Stengel,
manages to create a toxic blend of the irrele-
vant and the erroneous.
The irrelevant comes first, pointing out in
big letters that those who wrote the Constitu-
tion did not know about all sorts of things
in the world today, including airplanes, televi-
sion, computers and DNA.
This might seem like a clever new gambit
but, like many clever new gambits, it is a
rehash of arguments made long ago. In 1908,
Woodrow Wilson said, When the Constitu-
tion was framed there were no railways, there
was no telegraph, there was no telephone.
In Stengels rehash of this argument, he
declares: People on the right and left con-
stantly ask what the Framers would say about
some event that is happening today.
Most people have enough common sense
to know that a constitution does not exist to
micro-manage particular events or express
opinions about the passing scene.
A constitution exists to create a framework
for government and the U.S. Constitution
tries to keep the government inside that
framework.
From the irrelevant to the erroneous is a
short step for Stengel. He says, If the Consti-
tution was intended to limit the federal gov-
ernment, it certainly doesnt say so.
Apparently Stengel has not read the Tenth
Amendment: The powers not delegated to
the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to
the States respectively, or to the people.
Perhaps Richard Stengel should follow the
advice of another Stengel Casey Stengel,
who said on a number of occasions, You
could look it up.
Does the Constitution matter? If it doesnt,
then your freedom doesnt matter.
Theres nothing that matters more than the Constitution

COMMENTARY
T H O M A S S O W E L L
I STILL remember the
moment in my childhood in
which I lost all faith in the
innocent purity of plants.
One day, I was a carefree
adolescent at summer
camp, exploring the leafy
woods with my fellow campers. A couple of
days later, I was an illustration for a medical
textbook. The worst case of poison ivy Ive
ever seen! the camp nurse told the other
staffers.
Since that summer, Ive never entered
forested land without conducting a slightly
neurotic survey of the plant life furling about
my feet.
Its a story that places me among the
countless Americans health officials esti-
mate there are more than 350,000 new cases
every year whove tangled with poison ivy
or its relatives, poison oak and poison sumac,
and regretted it. I might, however, be one of
the few ivy victims who have come to admire
the enemy.
In fact, my purpose here as summer begins
is to defend and even praise the fascinating,
sometimes beautiful and environmentally
essential poison ivy plant.
The triumvirate of poison oak, poison ivy
and poison sumac has been admirably hold-
ing its own against humans for centuries.
Poison ivy acquired its unaffectionate label
from one of the 17th-century British explor-
ers, Capt. John Smith. He wrote in his jour-
nal about one native plant that upon being
touched causeth rednesse, itchynge, and
lastly, blisters. He named it poison ivy, after
its resemblance to the ornamental ivies of his
home country.
The plants are usually referred to as three-
leafed, as in leaves of three, let it be. But
they are actually more complex in design
than the rhyme suggests. They are astonish-
ingly adaptable in their ability to conform to
the environment, growing up trees as a flo-
wering vine, branching out into small shrubs
and creeping along as ground cover.
The plants ability to be everywhere makes
them a dependable meal for species ranging
from insects to deer. Poison ivy vines pro-
duce tiny greenish-white flowers and silvery
winter berries. Wild bees feed on poison ivy
flowers, and no, the honey is not toxic. Wild
birds depend on those waxy berries in the
winter among the varieties known to feed
on them are woodpeckers and warblers,
wrens and robins, blue birds, sapsuckers and
the tufted titmouse.
So its good news for the birds and bees, if
not the rest of us, that poison ivy and its
relatives brilliantly adapt to climate differ-
ences. Is it also good news that they seem to
adapt, or even thrive, in response to climate
change? Even I didnt exactly cheer when
U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists
announced recently that this plant species
responds happily to rising levels of carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere. They warned, in
fact, that todays poison ivy plant shows signs
of growing 50 percent larger than the version
found in the early 20th century.
Some studies also suggest that the oily sap
that flows through these plants, called urush-
iol, might also become more toxic in a cli-
mate-changed world.
So consider the steadfast poison ivy plant.
It has responded to centuries of human enmi-
ty by expanding its range and increasing its
annoyance potential. It serves a wide range of
other species while remaining impervious to
our outrage. How can you not admire such a
capable life form, such an able combatant?
Still, should it go further, turning into a
climate-driven super-toxic ivy, you might well
find me expressing my admiration for its
adaptability from the safety of the great in-
doors.

T
HE REGIONS star-
tup medical school
still has a perceptible
pulse, signaling this
worthy project can recover
from recent setbacks and,
hopefully, thrive long into the
future.
But its recovery depends in
no small part on life support,
as supplied both by Northeast-
ern Pennsylvanias power bro-
kers, who can pursue funding
for it, and the general public,
which can keep faith in The
Commonwealth Medical Col-
lege.
Opened in 2009, the college
quickly encountered financial
trouble due in no small part to
the Great Recessions after-
math. Its tough to scrounge up
capital these days to start a cor-
ner laundromat, much less a
med school with three regional
campuses: in Wilkes-Barre,
Scranton and Williamsport.
The college needs an esti-
mated $50 million to $60 mil-
lion over the next five years to
get on solid footing, according
to TCMCs officials. An accred-
iting body familiar with the in-
stitutions money matters al-
ready has placed it on proba-
tion. The schools administra-
tion last month opted to
eliminate the jobs of 12 staffers
and eight faculty members.
Even so, TCMCreceived the
green light to accept a new
class of incomingstudents, and
its interim president, Dr. Lois
Margaret Nora, exudes the
right mix of get-er-done deter-
mination and optimism. This
medical school is not going
away; this medical school is tre-
mendously successful, she
told The Times Leader last
week.
Nora, who took the helm at
TCMCabout sixweeks ago, ac-
knowledged the colleges mala-
dies but said, all aretreatable.
Our communities benefit by
having The Commonwealth
Medical College in our midst.
A local med school serves to
heighten the aspirations of cer-
tainhighschool andcollegeun-
dergraduate students from Lu-
zerne and surrounding coun-
ties. The doctors it has been
trainingare likelytoone dayes-
tablish practices in this area,
helping to alleviate a shortage
of health professionals. Its re-
searchers have begun peering
into regional-specific health
problems, such as Northeast-
ern Pennsylvanias above-aver-
age incidence of colorectal can-
cer.
If revived, TCMCalso prom-
ises in decades ahead to pro-
vide even more well-paying
jobs and spin-off economic ac-
tivity.
Lets hope this regions con-
tingent of federal andstate law-
makers, as well as others, do all
they can to ensure The Com-
monwealth Medical College
gets better and soon.

T HAS BEEN clear for
some time that Presi-
dent Obama has fol-
lowed the time-dishon-
ored practice of rewarding
campaign contributors with
cushy jobs ingovernment and
other benefits. But a new re-
port by the Center for Public
Integrity documents the out-
rageous extent to which the
presidents financial benefac-
tors are being installed in im-
portant positions, including
ambassadorships.
An inquiry by the centers
investigative team found that
more thantwoyears intoOba-
mas administration, nearly
200 of his biggest donors have
landed plum government
jobs and advisory posts, won
federal contracts worth mil-
lions of dollars for their busi-
ness interests or attended nu-
merous elite White House
meetings and social events.
Especially likely to be reward-
edare bundlers, fundraisers
who collect contributions
from many individuals.
Not every bundler appoint-
ed to an important position is
unqualified, as the report
might suggest.
The Center for Public In-
tegrity report also can be
faulted for being priggish in
its criticismof minor rewards
for contributions. The fact
that a donor might be invited
to a White House dinner
pales as an ethical problem
next to the political dispensa-
tion of ambassadorships. But
in general it documents a per-
version of the appointments
process.
Jaded Washington observ-
ers will say that presidents
have long installed cronies in
palatial embassies. Besides,
they say, political patronage
appointees are seldom in-
stalled in vital positions. For
example, when a president is
looking for an ambassador to
a strategically important
country, he is more likely to
choose a career diplomat
than a crony. That doesnt al-
ter the offensiveness of nam-
ing political contributors to
key positions.
As the candidate of hope
and change, Obama should
have turned off the patronage
machine. Instead, he revved
it up.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SUNDAY, JULY 3, 2011 PAGE 3E
F O R U M
LETS as-
sume Rick
Perry runs
for president.
Once a high-
profile leader
says he
doesnt want
the job but then starts talk-
ing about it and giving
speeches around the country
as the election heats up, you
can bet hes running.
Here, then, are a few things
his GOP opponents need to
know about Texas governor:
Most of all, dont under-
estimate his ability to win.
Since his days at Texas
A&M University, Perry has
known how to prevail. In the
early 1970s, he won election
as a yell leader. Those are the
guys you see in white outfits
doing contorted cheers dur-
ing Aggie games.
Back then, yell leaders
were about as big-men-on-
campus as you got. A&M was
made up largely of boys and
a few girls from small
towns and rural communi-
ties. The campus was a far
cry from todays cosmopol-
itan school. In that cauldron,
Perry forged an ability to
outmaneuver others that
continues to this day.
Remarkably, he has won
every one of his political
races. He started out in 1985
as a Democratic state rep,
rising to state agriculture
commissioner, lieutenant
governor, governor and, now,
likely presidential candidate.
Mitt Romney and crew
need to especially under-
stand that 1990 ag commis-
sioner race. Perry had been a
Democrat from a staunchly
Democratic farm community,
but he saw Texas turning
Republican. Enticed by GOP
recruiters, he cut his ties to
West Texas Democrats and
smoked out the populist
Democratic agriculture com-
missioner, Jim Hightower.
Ever since, Perry has fol-
lowed the political winds and
used his fierce Republican-
ism to beat all foes. Just ask
John Sharp, the popular
Democrat he defeated for
lieutenant governor in 1998.
Or gubernatorial opponents
Kay Bailey Hutchison, Bill
White and Tony Sanchez, to
whom he laid waste over the
last decade. Even at Perrys
lowest ebb, when he drew
only 39 percent in his 2006
gubernatorial re-election
campaign, he still outfoxed a
four-person field.
Simple, the man has a nose
for winning built into his
leading-man looks. Some
might deride him as Gov.
Good Hair, but hes used that
mane and handsome face to
his advantage, just as Ronald
Reagan did.
So, again, GOP candidates
beware. Rick Perry will be
the hardest-nosed campaign-
er youve faced.
But here are a few other
things you need to know
about Perry:
While his candidacy will
promote Texas impressive
economic growth, its also
shocking how he has turned
some of the states business
leaders against him. Many
didnt want him re-elected
last year.
Now, some are upset at
him for going to war against
A&M and the University of
Texas at Austin. Hes pushed
aside A&Ms two latest top
executives and questioned
the research emphasis of
both flagship universities
professors. This hasnt
pleased business leaders who
prize the schools intellectual
capital.
What does it say about a
Republican governors lead-
ership abilities that he has
turned natural business allies
against him, including nu-
merous Aggies?
Similarly, Perry has few
allies in Austin, where even
Republicans believe he has
governed by fear. What does
that say about his potential
as a president who would
have to build coalitions to
get anywhere in Washington?
Look also at his gubernato-
rial decisions. During this
years Legislature, Perry
rebuffed top business leaders
and insisted lawmakers not
use the states reserve fund
to help balance Texas two-
year budget.
As a result, serious initia-
tives took deep cuts, when it
didnt have to be that way.
For example, initiatives to
get young children reading
and doing math were
chopped.
Perry might have tea party
backing, but how does he
explain his budget decision
to parents who want to know
his education views?
Perry will campaign on
Texas economy, but hes
vulnerable to examination of
other parts of the state. If, as
I expect, he takes his show to
a national stage, he soon
must face those questions.
Republican Rick Perry
has a nose for winning

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Pete G. Wilcox
and words by Mark E. Jones
ON A recent
Thursday
night, inside a
huge, decay-
ing Detroit
church, two
worlds were
nudging each
other like kids sharing a bed.
On one side was a movie
set. A TV film was being shot
of my book Have A Little
Faith, and massive cameras,
cranes and monitors not to
mention more than 100 work-
ers, from actors to set design-
ers were clambering about
the sanctuary, applying make-
up, erecting lights.
On the other side, inside
the gym, some three dozen
homeless men were bedding
down for the night.
It could not have been more
surreal. I Am My Brothers
Keeper Ministries houses the
homeless three nights a week,
Thursday being one of those
nights. And on this Thursday,
the unshaven men in raggedy
clothes didnt care if huge
trucks and giant lights were
jamming the streets around
the church. This was their
routine. And they needed a
place to sleep.
So they entered through the
side door, as always, and they
stepped aside for production
assistants or prop guys or
costume designers. The mo-
vie people went to the right,
the homeless went to the left.
How ya doing? they said
to each other.
And each side went about
its business.
This went on for several
hours. The movie was shoot-
ing a joyous scene from the
book a celebration service.
Big-name actors took their
place alongside actual congre-
gants of the church (the film
is, admirably, using many
real-life people on-screen). An
organ played. A drummer
kept a beat. The director
yelled, Action! and an
Amen chorus broke out.
Meanwhile, on the other
side of the wall, the homeless
men dragged vinyl mats and
lightweight blankets and
placed them in rows on the
gym floor.
I found myself wandering
between the two scenes. They
were separated only by a nar-
row vestibule. At one point,
the movie had to reset all the
cameras, and the workers
spilled outside and grabbed
food and drink from the cater-
ing tents and vans.
I had some, too. And then,
in the middle of a bite, I had
one of those moments. I had
to remind myself to swallow. I
wandered into the catering
area, amidst shelves stacked
high with snack food, and
grabbed big boxes of Nutter
Butters, Chips Ahoy and
Twinkies.
And I went to the gym.
You can pretty much figure
out the rest, including the
gratitude of the men offered a
midnight snack. Ill take a
Twinkie. You got any Ho
Hos? Thank you, man.
God bless you, man.
Out in the street, the movie
makers were chewing quickly.
Inside, the homeless were
eating, too. Twenty minutes
later, the crew returned to the
sanctuary and the weary men
lay down and closed their
eyes.
It got noisy on the right.
It got quiet on the left.
The movie folks have been
extremely generous to the
church, paying a large rental
fee, doing repairs, employing
many congregants who would
not otherwise see such pay-
checks. And they are sharing
the churchs inspiring story
with the world.
But there is something to
be learned from that surreal
moment Thursday night. I
know it. I felt it the moment I
was eating and they were not.
In many ways, my city of
Detroit is just a big-scale ver-
sion of that scene. Our haves
and have-nots live so close to
each other. Many of us need
not go far to share the bounty
of our lives with people less
fortunate. And yet we rarely
do.
We stick to our side. They
stick to theirs.
It neednt be that way. Its
actually pretty easy to share
food with hungry people. Its
pretty easy to share your
skills, your time, your talent.
The hardest part is crossing
between worlds. We are
afraid. We are unsure. We
dont have the time. Or we tell
ourselves we dont.
I know its rarely as easy as
walking from one side of a
church to the other. But we
can reach out to others over
our normal boundaries. In a
place called I Am My Brothers
Keeper, it was fitting to wit-
ness the power of those
words.
When those most in need are our neighbors

A Fourth salute
from W-Bs mayor
T
he Fourth of July carries
significant meaning for all
Americans. The holiday is
not solely a reminder of how
far we have come as a country,
but also of how far we have
yet to go. It is a reminder that
the strength of our democracy
demands constant vigilance
and participation by the peo-
ple in order to thrive.
We are reminded on this
holiday of the sacrifices borne
by the men and women of the
Armed Forces today and
throughout our countrys
history to preserve our cher-
ished freedoms.
Nearly 235 years ago, a
group of men assembled in
the heat of Philadelphia and
set a bold vision for a country
founded not on birthright but
on equality. Throughout our
history, we often have fallen
short of that founding pledge,
but today is a reminder that
we must continue to fight as
other generations have done
to fulfill our mission state-
ment that all people have a
right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. The
Great Experiment continues
on as a beacon of liberty and a
hope for a better tomorrow.
I wish everyone a happy and
safe Fourth of July among
your family and friends, and
may God bless America!

Pittston pantry
T
he generosity of a local
businessman has made it
possible for low-income
residents of Greater Pittston
to receive fresh fruits and
vegetables at each pantry
visit. Choosing to remain
anonymous, the benefactor
previously donated hundreds
of pounds of fresh produce
each year during the pantrys
annual Christmas food give-
away.
These donations now arrive
weekly for 60 to 75 house-
holds. The variety includes
potatoes, onions, tomatoes,
celery, bananas, honeydew,
apples and oranges. Volun-
teers bag the fresh items and
include them along with milk,
bakery items, canned and dry
goods, and frozen foods. In
addition to a vast array of
foodstuffs donated by the
Commission on Economic
Opportunity (CEO) twice a
month, the new Pittston-area
Walmart donates between 100
and 1,000 pounds of nearly
expired dry goods, bakery
items and frozen meats twice
a week.
Monetary donations are
used to purchase milk deliver-
ed each week at cost from
Blue Ribbon Dairy. The dairy
also donates free milk for 350
households each Christmas.
Volunteers use their own
trucks and vans to pick up
most donated items from
CEO, Walmart and local
schools and churches. Recent-
ly, a commercial van was do-
nated to the pantry to aid in
picking up donated items.
The residents and various
groups of the Greater Pittston
community have become
goodwill ambassadors and
benefactors through their
continued donations of mon-
ey, food and personal hygiene
items such as hair care prod-
ucts, soap and toothpaste. Too
numerous to list by name are
the churches, schools, Scout
troops, Red Hat societies,
athletic teams, VFWs, fire
departments, businesses and
other organizations that have
held food drives. The National
Association of Postal Carriers
recently netted 800 pounds of
food for the pantry.
None of this would be pos-
sible without the parish com-
munity of St. John the Evange-
list lending the former Seton
Catholic High School building
and contributing to its up-
keep. Nor would it be possible
without the dedicated volun-
teers who serve with a smile
each week.
Thank you to all who make
this ministry of helping others
possible.
Sadly, along with the out-
pouring of support, the need
continues to grow. More than
700 families within the Pitt-
ston Area and Wyoming Area
school districts are served.
Families whose incomes fall
within 150 percent of the
federal governments poverty
guidelines are eligible to re-
ceive food every five weeks. A
new category of increased
need recently has been estab-
lished for 200 families whose
incomes are 25 percent of
poverty. Households whose
incomes range from zero to
several hundred dollars per
month (depending on the
number of people within the
household) may now schedule
an appointment for food every
three weeks.
In spite of the volume of
food donated, the pantry is a
supplemental food program
that does not meet a familys
food needs for more than
several days.
As grateful as we are for all
who donate, our need is so
great that donations are al-
ways welcome.
Food can be delivered to the
St. John the Evangelist parish
office at 35 William St., Pitt-
ston. Monetary gifts can be
sent to the same address,
made out to The Greater
Pittston Food Pantry.

Voter weighs in
on fiscal flakes
I
t took only a few seconds.
On Fox News, on June 26,
anchor Chris Wallace asked
Congresswoman Michele
Bachmann: Are you a flake?
The next day Bachmann an-
nounced her candidacy for
president.
Websters defines flake as
an oddball. Is Bachmann a
flake? Lets see.
Bachmann is a mother of
five, foster mother of 23, has
been married for 30-plus years
and is a small-business owner
with 50 employees. Check.
Bachmann is intelligent,
well-educated and holds a law
degree and a masters degree
in tax law. Prior to entering
politics, she was a successful
practicing tax attorney. Check.
Bachmann is a three-term
U.S. congresswoman and also
served in the Minnesota state
Senate. Check.
Bachmann wont vote to
increase the federal debt ceil-
ing without tying any future
increase to a serious reduction
in spending. She will cut fed-
eral spending by 25 percent,
repeal ObamaCare, kill
capital gains taxes and cap
personal income taxes. Check.
Bachmann said: I am a
Christian, as is my husband. I
gave my heart to Jesus Christ
and since that time Ive been a
person of prayer. Check.
Was Wallace attempting to
discredit a fiscally conserva-
tive Christian woman seeking
higher office? You decide.
In November 2012, well be
asked to vote for a fiscally
conservative flake such as
Bachmann or, based on his
economic policies, arguably
the worst president in U.S.
history, Barack Hussein Oba-
ma.
For U.S. senator, our choic-
es will be Bob Casey, who
voted for more than $2 trillion
in government boondoggles or
a fiscally conservative Repub-
lican flake.
For U.S. congress person
from the 11th District, our
choices will be fiscally conser-
vative flake Lou Barletta or a
Democratic challenger who
probably will say we need to
rein in spending, but like
former Rep. Paul Kanjorski
and Sen. Casey, would contin-
ue to bankrupt America.
Ill be voting for the flakes.

Bill called risky
to states forests
A
congressman from Cali-
fornia wants to put some
of Pennsylvanias wildest
forests at greater risk.
U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthys
hostile bill targets millions of
roadless acres of American
wildlands, including some in
Pennsylvania. The bill, H.R.
1581 (the Wilderness and
Roadless Areas Release Act),
would strip protections for
25,000 pristine acres in the
Allegheny National Forest.
As someone who has spent
countless hours hiking
through the Alleghenys back-
country, I find this bill to be
an insult to the region. Not
only does the Allegheny pro-
vide anglers with a great place
to fish, it also provides fam-
ilies with a great atmosphere
for canoeing and outdoor
recreation. The regions older
oak, black cherry, hemlock
and white pine forests provide
hunters with ideal habitats in
which to hunt for deer and
other game.
Four Allegheny forest tracts
that qualify for wilderness
designation under the Wilder-
ness Act of 1964 Allegheny
Front, Clarion River, Corn-
planter and Tracy Ridge
could be stripped of protec-
tions.
Even if you are not con-
cerned with protecting Penn-
sylvanias wildest places, you
might be interested in protect-
ing its bottom line. In 2006,
more than four million Penn-
sylvanians went hunting,
fishing or wildlife watching,
which generated more than $4
billion for the states economy.
This attack on our wild
lands is also an assault on
Pennsylvanias conservation
legacy: the late Republican
U.S. Rep. John P. Saylor of
Johnstown was an original
sponsor of The Wilderness
Act that has conserved land
throughout the country.
Readers should urge their
representatives in Congress to
not strip the Alleghenys wil-
dest places of protections, so
that future generations can
enjoy some of the common-
wealths most beautiful out-
door recreation areas.

protecting Pennsylvanias
wilderness, visit www.pa-

Pringle burn plan
ignites a dispute
I
am fuming too, fuming that
a non-resident such as Ron
Ashton of Gouldsboro
(Pringles trash burning gets
reader fuming mad, June 29)
would stick his proboscis into
the subject of burning in the
borough where I live and vote!
Mr. Ashton suggests that
the council in this town per-
mits the burning of trash.
Let me enlighten him. Pringle
does not permit the burning of
trash. It does permit the open
burning of paper and paper
products.
As for pollution, Mr. Ashton
must ride a bicycle to work.
Heaven forbid that he drives
an auto that spews pollution!
Permitting the burning of
paper and paper products
reduces the pollution from a
truck that makes several trips
to a landfill that is the epi-
tome of pollution itself. An
increase in loads of additional
bags means more carbon mon-
oxide pollution from addition-
al landfill trips, not to mention
an increase in disposal fees
and the cost of plastic bags,
and the additional cost of fuel
for the truck.
Mr. Ashton should keep his
proboscis in the area where he
resides, not in the area where
other people reside and are
familiar with the subject at
hand.

tors, but they dont have it in
their checking accounts.
This is a trick that only works
once. Each subsequent year, the
state has to pay the 30 percent
from the previous year plus the
70 percent from the current year.
In addition, the delayed funding
imposes borrowing costs on
some schools.
Breaking this cycle is difficult
because it would mean coming
up with more than100 percent of
the schools funding in one year.
Thats why Dayton and the legis-
lature both support continuing
the shift.
Pension funds are another area
where states sometimes skip a
payment theres always the
chance that a bull market will pay
high enough investment returns
to make up the difference. That
doesnt always happen, of course.
Since 1998, New Jersey has
never once made the actuarially
recommended payment into its
public employee pension system.
As a result, the state is more than
$50 billion short of what it would
need to pay its financial obliga-
tions to retirees. Under a pension
overhaul the legislature is close
to approving, the state would in-
crease its contributions, but it
would still be years before it
made its full required payments.
Gimmick 2: Accelerating
revenue
The flip side of delaying a pay-
ment is booking future revenue
ahead of schedule.
Thats what Texas is doing. To
close a mammoth budget gap
over the next two years, conser-
vatives in the legislature refused
to raise taxes. Instead, they de-
vised a plan to collect some taxes
sooner.
Under the states expected
budget deal, Texas large retailers
will pay some of their sales tax
collections early. That will add
$231million to the budget for the
next biennium. But it also means
the money wont be there for the
biennium after that.
Washington State tried a varia-
tionof this tactic backin1971and
it haunted the budget process for
years. To balance the two-year
budget that ended in June of that
year, the state grabbed revenue
from July. In effect, it was using
25 months worth of revenue to
pay 24 months worth of bills.
Getting spending and revenue
back into alignment required
writing a budget that would pay
24 months worth of bills with 23
months worth of revenue
something Washington State
wasnt able to do until 1987. This
year, the 25th month gimmick
came up again as an idea for ba-
lancing the budget, but Demo-
cratic Gov. Christine Gregoire re-
jected it as shortsighted.
Gimmick 3: Using temporary
money for recurring expenses
States often rely on rainy day
funds to get through tough fiscal
times. In Hawaii, its raining so
hard that the state is tapping its
Hurricane Fund.
The Hurricane Relief Fundwas
never intended to be used as a
budget cushion. It was created af-
ter Hurricane Iniki caused seri-
ous damage to the state in 1992.
Property insurers were scared
away from the islands. So the
fund was started for the purpose
of jumpstarting the insurance
market if disaster struck again.
Hawaii stoppedaddingnewmon-
ey years ago, but the fund still
holds $117 million.
The money has basically just
been sitting there for nine years,
says Lloyd Lim, the acting exec-
utive director of the fund.
This year, though, the Demo-
cratic-controlledlegislatureshift-
ed $42 million from the fund to
balance the budget. They also au-
thorized Democratic Gov. Neil
Abercrombie to use the rest if he
chooses.
Whether Hawaii really needs a
fund specifically for hurricane in-
surance is a matter of debate.
Whats clear is that this is just a
one-time fix for Hawaiis budget.
Meanwhile, the things the bud-
get pays for such as schools,
prisons and health care will
keep costing the state year after
year.
States have found numerous
ways to secure one-time infu-
sions of cash. Theyve raidedded-
icated accounts like the Hurri-
cane Fund, offered tax amnesties
to delinquent taxpayers and sold
state property, among others.
These steps temporarily relieve
the need to cut services or in-
crease taxes. But because the
money is temporary and the ex-
penses continue, they dont let
states avoid those choices forev-
er.
Gimmick 4: Counting on
savings that arent likely to
materialize
Theres no doubt that many
government programs can be run
more efficiently. But sometimes,
states count on savings based on
assumptions that are clearly un-
realistic fromthe start, setting up
their budgets to fall out of bal-
ance.
California has been one of the
biggest offenders here. Califor-
nias budget for 2010 counted on
state agencies cutting their infor-
mation technology expenses by
$130million. As it turnedout, the
state only managed to save $50
million on IT. The last two years,
California has saved about $100
million combined by cracking
down on fraud in a program for
in-home care for seniors and the
disabled. But this years budget
depends on finding $150 million
in savings from anti-fraud mea-
sures, a figure the Legislative
Analysts Office notedas unlikely.
Then theres prisons. Every
year, California lawmakers tell
the Department of Corrections
and Rehabilitation how much to
spend. Every year, the agency ex-
ceeds that budget. One of the big
reasons why is that lawmakers
have made unallocated reduc-
tions to the corrections budget.
They dont specify howto cut the
budget by closing a prison,
perhaps. They simply tell the
agency to spend less.
Intheory, that gives the agency
some flexibility. In practice, the
agency finds the goals set for it
impossible to achieve. Much of
its costs are for employees who
cant be cut: Prisons must be
guarded 24 hours a day.
Realistically, to get a signifi-
cant amount of savings in correc-
tions, you have to adopt some
policy changes, says Anthony
Simbol, director of criminal jus-
tice in the Legislative Analysts
Office.
Of course, what savings are re-
alistic often is only clear in retro-
spect. This year, Connecticuts
two-year budget was balanced
withthe helpof concessions from
public employee unions. The leg-
islatures nonpartisan Office of
Fiscal Analysis said it couldnt
verify some large pieces of the
deal, including$90millioninsav-
ings expected from information
technology andanother $180mil-
lion expected to come from sug-
gestions from state employees.
Mark Ojakian, who helped ne-
gotiate the deal for Democratic
Gov. Dan Malloy, counters that
the numbers were the result of
firm ideas and careful analysis of
how much they would save.
Gimmick 5: Counting on
revenue that isnt likely to
materialize
Just as spending assumptions
canbeunrealistic, socanassump-
tions about howmuch revenue is
going to come in to state coffers.
Aclassic case comes fromNew
York. Last year, lawmakers there
approved a budget that included
$150 million fromcollecting ciga-
rette taxes on Indian reserva-
tions. There was just one prob-
lem: The state has tried to collect
those taxes for years andhadnev-
er seen a dollar from it. Tribes
fought the move both in court
and with civil disobedience in
1992, members of the Seneca
tribe threw burning tires on the
New York State Thruway in pro-
test.
This year, New York lawmak-
ers were undeterred. They ap-
proved a budget that yet again
counted on $140 million fromthe
tribal collections. The state has
won recent court rulings that
make that goal appear more at-
tainable than in the past; a ruling
last week lifted an injunction
against collecting the tax. Still,
nearly three months into New
Yorks fiscal year, the state still
hasnt collected anything.
Any state budget relies on fore-
casts for revenue collections.
Where states get into trouble is
when they rely on forecasts that
are wildly implausible.
Sometimes, the wild card is
Washington. In California, last
years budget was built aroundre-
ceiving$5.3billioninnewfederal
money at a time when there was
little appetite in Washington for
new aid to states. Then-Gov. Ar-
nold Schwarzenegger signed the
budget inOctober. By November,
it was back out of balance.

COLUMBUS, Ohio The
longest walk parents can make,
Vice President Joe Biden often
says, is upstairs to tell the chil-
dren theyve lost their job.
Millions have been stripped
of their dignity, Biden told an
Ohio audience last year. Its
time to restore their dignity.
Biden, who spoke frequently
of his blue-collar roots in Scran-
ton during the 2008 presidential
campaign, is reprising his role as
one of the Obama administra-
tions topsurrogates onthe econ-
omy and an empathetic voice in
industrial Midwestern states
hard hit by the recession.
The former Delaware senator
is expected to play a similar role
in the 2012 campaign, focusing
on Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsyl-
vania. President Barack Obama
carried them in 2008, but each
elected Republican governors in
2010.
A large swath of the Midwest,
includingIowa, Indiana andWis-
consin, which Obama also won,
are considered prime targets for
Republicans next year.
He obviously has deep, deep
roots in the industrial Midwest
running fromPennsylvania right
across and hell be very valuable
there, Obama strategist David
Axelrod told reporters in Chica-
go this past week.
Biden, has assailed moves by
GOP governors in Wisconsin
andOhio to strip away collective
bargainingrights frommost pub-
lic workers.
Hes also criticized efforts by
Republicans in Congress to turn
Medicare into a program with
federal subsidies for beneficiar-
ies who would seek coverage
from private insurers.
The vice president has defend-
edObamas handlingof theecon-
omy, pointingtotoughdecisions
to seek an economic stimulus
package and rescue U.S. auto-
makers. But his pitch often turns
personal, drawing on his fathers
decision to move the family to
Delaware in the 1950s in search
of a job.
Theres still a long way to go.
Therearestill millions of women
andmenwhoarelikethefamilyI
was raised in, Biden told Demo-
crats in New Hampshire last
month. When a recession hit,
we knew someone sitting
around my dads kitchen table ...
was going to lose their job.
Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strick-
land said Biden has the ability
to express what a lot of people
feel when it comes to their anx-
ieties over the economy and job
loss, their kids. I think he does a
really good job of identifying
with those concerns and ex-
pressing them.
Ahead of Bidens visit, Repub-
licans countered that Obamas
policies ledto GOPgains in2010
and have failed to revitalize the
economy.
All the visits in the world
from President Obama, Vice
President Biden and other top-
level surrogates wont change
the administrations job-killing
policies, said Republican Na-
tional Committee spokesman
Ryan Tronovitch.
Largely under the radar, Biden
has maintained a busy travel
schedule, appearing in more
than 150 political events in 2009
and 2010, including 20 in Ohio
and 14 in Pennsylvania. In 2011,
he had appeared at more than a
dozen political events before the
Ohio dinner.
Fundraisers planned for Mon-
day in Atlanta and Nashville,
Tenn., were postponed so Biden
could meet with Senate leaders
about efforts to increase the gov-
ernments borrowing limit, aides
said.

Three years later, social media
outlets like FacebookandTwitter
have exploded, smart phones and
apps are more prevalent, tablet
computers are on the rise, and
most Americans are online.
When Obama announced his
presidential campaign in 2007,
Facebook had fewer than 20 mil-
lion users worldwide. That num-
ber has now surpassed 500 mil-
lion.
Theres no online and offline
organizing. Theres organizing,
said Jeremy Bird, Obamas na-
tional field director, during a ses-
sion at Netroots Nation in Min-
neapolis.
Digital strategists say Obamas
campaign has an advantage over
the Republican field because of
the work his camp conducted in
2008 and the months it will have
before Republicans coalesce
around a challenger.
The Obama campaign declines
to say howmany of its supporters
have clicked the Im In! button,
but Facebook brings Obamas
campaign to millions of news
feeds, allowing supporters to
share content, plan events and
recruit friends in ways that email
couldnt in 2008.
If youre my friend and I see
that youre going out to canvass
this weekend for Barack Obama,
Immuchmorelikelytoparticipa-
te because I know my friends are
doing it, said Stephen Geer, a
former director of email and on-
line fundraising for Obama for
America. Hes nowvice president
of newmedia at OMP, a Washing-
ton fundraising and communica-
tions firm.
Facebook has grown in promi-
nence in political campaigns
since 2008 for example, more
than12millionpeople clickedthe
I Voted button in 2010, signify-
ing that they had cast ballots,
compared with about 5.4 million
in 2008. A recent study by the
Pew Internet & American Life
Project found that Facebook us-
ers are more likely to engage in
political activity than someone
who browses the Internet or uses
other social media services.
Twitter, meanwhile, was still in
its infancy when Obama first ran
for president and played little
role in that campaign. This time,
Obama has signaled the value of
his (at)barackobama handle, tell-
ing supporters hell regularly
send personal tweets signed
-BO.
His campaign has set up sepa-
rate Twitter accounts for all 50
states to communicate with sup-
porters. By its nature, Twitter al-
lows the campaign to monitor
public opinion on a minute-by-
minute basis, respond to critics
and shape the news.
While social media may gener-
ate new interest in 2012, technol-
ogy could play an important role
inthe more mundane, shoe-leath-
er work of registering newvoters
and turning them out.
In 2008, campaign supporters
who knocked on doors of poten-
tial voters largely used paper
walk sheets that were printed
out at local headquarters. The re-
sults of the door-to-door meet-
ings were keyed into databases to
guide the campaigns worktoper-
suade voters on Obamas behalf.
This time, the campaign is ex-
ploring ways of streamlining the
process, from bringing more uni-
formity to howthe information is
takendownandenteredintoa da-
tabase to using mobile devices,
tablet computers or improve-
ments to the website to help vol-
unteers findkeyhouseholds or in-
put data gathered at doorsteps.
The approach could save time
and help the campaign be more
strategic about the households it
targets.
The Democratic National
Committee, for example, experi-
mented with an app in 2010 that
used global positioning systems
to help canvassers find targeted
households in certain neighbor-
hoods, something that could be
used more broadly in the presi-
dential campaign.
Email is still king when it
comes to fundraising, and online
strategists consider the Obama
campaigns massive email list a
gold mine. The campaign has re-
played some of its greatest hits in
fundraising pitches offering
small donors a chance to win din-
ner with Obama and Biden and
matching the contributions of $5
or more from first-time donors.
Pivoting off the birther con-
troversy, the campaign created a
Made in the USA mug, with a
picture of Obamas long-form
birth certificate on the back, for
supporters whogave $15or more.
Online advertising, mean-
while, is also expected to growin
sophistication. Political cam-
paigns have been ramping up
their use of online ads, turning to
ads of 15 to 30 seconds that ap-
pear before video clips running
on websites like Youtube and Hu-
lu.
Were getting a lot of ques-
tions now from people thinking
strategically on how to drive
their message next year online,
said AndrewRoos, a political ads
executive with Google.
Rospars, the mastermind be-
hind Obamas digital success in
2008, cautions against looking at
2012 as the Facebook or Twitter
campaign. Instead, its about
making all things digital work in
harmony to pay off in November
2012.
Its tempting to sort of pile on-
to the one new thing and sort of
put all your eggs in one basket,
Rospars said. But I think in the
history of campaigns, big bets
like that dont tend to pay off. Its
actually about integrating every-
thing.

The people of Coronado, Calif.,
should order extra champagne for Me-
morial Day 2012, while the public rela-
tions office at Hilton Hawaiian Village
likely has two more years to prepare its
big party.
The planning can start now because
its almost a lock that next May, Corona-
do will be named the Best Beach in the
UnitedStates. Thenin2013, thetitlewill
be handed to Kahanamoku Beach in
Waikiki on Oahu.
Each Memorial Day weekend, the un-
official start of summer, an oceanogra-
phy professor at Florida International
University, Stephen Leatherman, an-
nounces the best beach in America.
The media gobbles up the list put out by
the self-named Dr. Beach. Stats show
the title is usually worth a 10 to 20 per-
cent bump in tourism for the locals.
Leatherman says he uses 50 measure-
ments to grade the beaches, including
water quality, warmth, sandcolor, amen-
ities and effects of crowds.
The best beach for 2011 is Siesta
Beach near Sarasota, Fla.
The only problem is the best beach
really isnt that at all, even by Leather-
mans measure. Its really about the 21st
best beach. Leatherman retires a beach
after it wins. This list has been coming
out since1991, so that is a lot of sand out
of the running.
The list has become a major media
event. TheAssociatedPress releasedthe
list to newspapers and TV stations with
an embargo, like a presidential speech
(and as with a speech, many broke the
promise not to publish early).
The no repeats rule means12 beach-
es in Hawaii have had their moment in
the media sun, but the state has all but
disappearedfromthe list inrecent years.
Same with a lot of the top beaches in
Florida, Leathermans home state.
Leatherman does release the list of past
annual winners, but if you go to his web-
site at drbeach.org, youll find the link to
a list of past winners in fine print in the
upper right corner. It rarely gets much
play.
Ive sparred, in a good-natured way,
with the list for many years. The rank-
ings feed Americas addiction to best-of
lists. In the end, it is a good cause. The MCT PHOTO
Coronados beach, in front of the historic Hotel del Coronado, is almost a lock to
be named the best beach in the United States next year in a popular annual list.

Charlie Day has cornered the market
on characters who do appalling, ghastly
things yet somehownever seemthat ap-
palling or ghastly.
Take his alter ego on Its Always Sun-
ny in Philadelphia, the F/X series he
created and executive-produces with
friends Rob McElhenney and Glenn Ho-
werton.
On the show, Philly bar owner Charlie
Kelly is a stalker, a glue-sniffer, an illiter-
ate and a dude who lies about having
cancer so he can get a sympathy date
from the woman hes stalking (Days re-
al-life wife, Mary Elizabeth Ellis).
Then theres Dale, Days character in
Horrible Bosses, a comedy opening
Friday in local theaters. Its the tale of
three put-upon employees (Day, Jason
Sudeikis and Jason Bateman) who de-
cide the only way to deal with their over-
bearing supervisors (Jennifer Aniston,
Donald Sutherland and Kevin Spacey) is
to knock them off.
Terrible, huh? Absolutely, except that,
thanks to Days goofy turn, Dale comes
off as a hard-core romantic, a man so in
love with his fiance that he never even
considers accepting the advances of his
boss, a gorgeous, predatory dentist (An-
iston) who cant keep her hands off him.
There is a trick to playing these guys,
andthat is tounderstandwhy theyre do-
ing these terrible things, Day says. If
you can understand why, you can laugh
at them.
Watching these guys get in over their
heads, with some nave motivation for
doing something despicable, and then
try to squirm away from the repercus-
sions, thats something you can laugh
about. Also, they can never get away
with the terrible things.
At 35, Day is about to get away with
being a movie star. In addition to star-
ring in Horrible Bosses, hes in talks to
join Idris Elba and Charlie Hunnam
(Sons of Anarchy) inthe alieninvasion
thriller Pacific Rim, the latest from
Hellboy and Pans Labyrinth master-
mind Guillermo Del Toro.
Itll be a departure, for sure, if I move
forward with it, Day says. Itll be a lot
of fun. BeforeSunny, I didalot of seri-
ous stuff. So Id be excited to get back to
that.
In the meantime, theres Horrible
Bosses, which allows Day to engage in
the kind of outrageous comedy thats ve-
ry much in his wheelhouse. Days char-
acters in Horrible Bosses and Sunny
could be distant cousins, but there are
some differences, too.
Ghastly roles
are all in this

Perhaps most tellingly, so did a barefoot baby, whose

Before you ask So what? please note an American Staf-

along with Rottweilers, German shepherds, Dobermans,
Akitas and a fewothers, has a reputation as a troublemaker.
That reputation is an unfairly
bad rap, said Jane Caruso-Dahms,

it titled Fidos and Footwear.
I wanted the owners to have a
presence, she said, explaining all
the shoes and feet, but not every-
body wants to be identified (by
face). Still, shoes say a lot about a
person.
The exhibit opens Friday at

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Your mistakes will be
magnificent marks of
your growth. Your sign
mate and avant-garde
playwright Samuel Beckett
said it well. Ever tried.
Ever failed. No matter.
Try again. Fail again.
Fail better.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Even when you are very
still, some part of you,
like your mind or your
heart, is dancing. You
dance to music, to life
with a human partner or
with the wind.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Relationships change.
They have to in order to
keep up with the ever-
changing structure of
life. You are emotionally
secure and, therefore, not
jarred by the changes.
Instead, you expect and
welcome them.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You intend to be patient
and loving, and that is
usually how you come
across. You sometimes
have to remind yourself of
this intention, though. It
does need to be periodi-
cally reset.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your
inner reality is different
from the inner reality
of your loved ones, espe-
cially those of the opposite
sex. Your needs are dif-
ferent, too. You recognize
this and do what makes
you feel safe, secure, cre-
ative and vital.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Your aim is to go out and
be dynamic as you work
to make the world a bet-
ter place. You may only
go out as far as the local
grocery store, but the way
you interact there will still
improve the world.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
What you witness will
move you. Your heart will
melt as you surrender to
the love you feel. Theres
no good reason to resist
this process, so go with it
and be emotionally free.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Your plans are not exactly
working out the way you
wanted them to, but dont
get too upset about it. This
new way is most likely the
absolute best way, which
youll find out once you
drop your resistance to it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Its time to get con-
scious of the rules and
regulations that go along
with being in a relation-
ship with you. Do you
know what they are? Think
about what a person has
to do to please you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Youll be visiting new
venues and perhaps a
place of worship. Observe
others to learn whats
expected. Note that
applause can be encourag-
ing and congratulatory, but
it is not always acceptable.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Intention is powerful.
You send terrific energy
to your family, and they
deal with their challenges
more easily because of the
boost. It helps that you
also act in a way that sup-
ports your loved ones.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
There is so much going
on for you these days that
the thought of having
time to yourself may seem
indulgent and impractical.
And yet, it is vital to your
health and well-being.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July
3). Youll have great pow-
ers of tenacity this year.
Youll make a statement
about your intentions
and follow through until
that statement comes
true. This month brings
helpful teachers and new
resources. A love relation-
ship inspires you in July.
August brings domestic
improvements at a dis-
count. Capricorn and
Taurus people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 6,
8, 14, 36 and 42.

1. The rat population could explode

many experiments that they have
become immune to all disease.
2. A fresh economic viewpoint from
people who like cash: money cant
buy happiness but it sure makes
misery easier to live with.
3. I had a thought. I dont really
approve of or like political jokes. I
have just seen too many of them get

Nobody is perfect. Therefore, I am

DEAR ABBY
Best friend bewildered
by wedding exclusion
Dear Abby:
My best
friend,
Beth, has
found her
Mr. Right
after almost
35 years of singlehood. She
is being married soon and I
am thrilled for her. Over the
last 15 years, I have been her
sounding board. I have been
through every date, every
kiss, every heartbreak and
every broken engagement
with a string of men.
Beth has invited me to
the wedding, but she hasnt
asked me to stand up for her.
Because we live 2,000 miles
apart, we talk frequently on
the phone and I keep wait-
ing for her to ask, but she
never brings up the subject.
Its like the elephant in the
living room. Beth knows I
can afford the trip, so money
isnt a concern. Should I
tell her my feelings are hurt
or ask her who is going to
stand up for her? Or should
I follow my husbands advice
and just let it go?
Broken-Hearted Friend in
Oregon
Dear Broken-Hearted
Friend: You may be close
friends with Beth, but its
presumptuous to expect you
have the right to dictate who
should be in her wedding
party. Please dont lay a guilt
trip on her by saying your
feelings are hurt. A better
way to have your question
answered would be to ask
who they plan to have in
their wedding party. Then
once you have your answer,
take your husbands advice.
Dear Abby: I have been
working as a waitress for
many years. Some of my past
employers have had policies
regarding discussing our
tips. My current job has no
such policy.
One of my co-workers
likes to let everyone know
how much he earns. I dont
hear anyone else announc-
ing their tips. Someone will
always make less, and wont
find it helpful having it con-
firmed out loud.
I dont know how to let my
co-worker know this without
seeming like Im being criti-
cal. Your advice would be
appreciated.
Waitress in California
Dear Waitress: Its never
a good idea to brag about
money because it can create
resentment among co-work-
ers. Because your restaurant
has no policy regarding this,
speak to the manager about
establishing one. Or, post
this column on the employee
bulletin board for all to see.

dley is a 2-year-old pitbull/Shar
Pei mix, and she cites his playful
presence as evidence theres no
such thing as a bad breed of dog.
Its how theyre treated, she
said. If one breed is banned,
drug dealers and other criminals
wouldjust turntoanother touse
as a weapon or intimidation fac-
tor.
A glance through newspaper
archives might lead some to be-
lieve certain breeds cause prob-
lems. Among the unfortunate sit-
uations: a Wilkes-Barre police of-
ficer investigating a hit-and-run
had to shoot a pit bull that jump-
ed on police in August 2008; a 76-
year-old Clarks Summit woman
neededrabies shots after acanine
she identified as a pit bull at-
tacked her and the dog she was
walking; a Doberman entered a
Hunlock Township home and
killed cats in April 2010; and, in
July 2009, a small mixed breed
hadtobe euthanizedafter twopit
bulls mauledit onthe River Com-
mon.
The owners of the small dog
that had to be euthanized, it was
reported, were not interested in
punishing pit bulls.
After the2009incident, awom-
an representing the family ap-
proached Wilkes-Barre City
Council with an electronic pet-
ition, signed by 136 people, ask-
ing the council not to ban breeds
from the River Common but to
strengthen laws against neglect-
ful pet owners.
Its not right to blame the ani-
mal, saidCaruso-Dahms, whobe-
cameconcernedabout breed-spe-
cific rules when she lived in Le-
high Valley.
The state of Pennsylvania ac-
tually prohibits breed-specific
legislation which means a mu-
nicipality couldnt outlaw all
mastiffs, say, or German Shep-
herds.
Still, an insurance company
told Caruso-Dahms landlord it
wouldnt cover her building if her
tenant kept her pit-bull mix.
The insurance company didnt
care that Bradley is well-behaved
and gentle, or that Caruso-
Dahms knows lots of people who
describe similar pets as great
family dogs.
The insurance hassle is a moot
point, because Caruso-Dahms
now lives in Wyoming Valley,
where she has spent the past year
compiling about 50 Fidos and
Footwear shots, enough for a
book.
About 15 of the pictures will be
on display beginning Friday at
Mainstreet Galleries, where co-
owner Sally Casey, herself a dog
owner, said she supports Caruso-
Dahms ideas.
I fell in love with Jane and her
work the moment she opened up
her portfolio and I had a chance
to look at each gorgeous animal
she had photographed, Casey
wrote in an email. As a dog
mom, I love the concept of show-
ing breeds that have been target-
ed by breed-specific legislation
and depicting them as beloved
pets.
Photographing pets of all sorts
even the occasional snake is a
niche Caruso-Dahms has carved
for herself, yet she also shoots
other kinds of photos.
My clients began to get mar-
ried and have kids, she said. So
they askedme toshoot their wed-
dings and prenatal portraits and
their children.

BEST SELLERS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
T
he newnovel frombest-selling author Bobbie Ann Mason
will send you dashing to the shelves to devour everything
else shes ever written its that good.
Inspired by the experiences of her father-in-law, Mason weaves a
spellbinding tale of war, love and survival in The Girl in the Blue
Beret that alternates seamlessly between World War II and mod-
ern Europe.
Marshall Stone is a 60-year-old former
bomber pilot whose age forces himto re-
tire from his beloved airline job. To the
surprise of his friends and family, he
picks up and moves to Paris, intent on
finding the ordinary people who hid him
and led him safely out of France during
the war after his B-17 crashed. Through
his eyes, wemeet members of theFrench
Resistance whosacrificedgreatly andof-
ten risked their lives to help downed air-
men. We also learn about a cocksure
young man slowto realize the high price
of war to those who lived through it.
Masons writingis exquisite. Not a sin-
gle word is wasted or out of place, and
she never drifts toward sentimentality
even in her descriptions of combat
and the wreckage left behind. Her exten-
sive knowledge of aircraft, combat and
World War II is readily apparent, but
isnt heavy-handed. Perhaps most im-
pressive, though, is her ability to experi-
ence the world through a no-longer-mid-
dle-aged widower.
The Girl inthe Blue Beret is not only
a remarkable work of historical fiction,
its also storytelling at its best.
By KIMCURTIS For The Associated Press
is storytelling at its best
The Girl in the Blue Beret (Random House), by Bobbie Ann Mason:
Jeff Abbott delivers Adrenaline,
a thriller that will get even the
most jaded readers pulse racing.
Sam Capra works as a consultant
for the CIA in London. During a
work meeting, he gets a call from
his pregnant wife asking him to im-
mediately come outside the build-
ing.
He arrives on the sidewalk just
as his wife is driving away with a
stranger. Then the building ex-
plodes, killing
those inside.
Evidence re-
veals that a
bomb was
placed at Ca-
pras desk, and
he and his
wife are con-
sidered trai-
tors. Capra is
put in a prison
cell, and the
people he had trusted now use ev-
erything in their arsenal of tricks
to get him to confess.
Capra refuses to play along.
Somehow he must escape, track
down his missing wife and find the
real culprit.
Adrenaline rivets the reader
from the very first paragraph, and
Capra proves to be a character with
enough skills and depth to be ex-
tremely compelling, even when the
action lags, which isnt often.
Abbotts previous thrillers have
been good, but this one is a grand
slam home run.
Everyone will want to see what
Abbott, and Capra, have up their
sleeve next.

Adrenaline (Grand Central), by Jeff
Abbott:
Adrenaline will get readers pulse racing
Rolling Stone editor David Browne
posits that albums can reflect our times
muchlikeanewspaper. Hedoes afinejob
proving his point in his intriguing new
book.
Browne entered his teens after 1970
lurchedout of the tumultuous1960s, and
he writes about the music he loved back
then. The albums he chose tosupport his
argument: Simon & Garfunkels Bridge
Over Troubled
Water, Crosby,
Stills, Nash &
Youngs Deja
Vu, the Beatles
Let It Be and
James Taylors
Sweet Baby
James. Like a
time capsule,
thesealbums mir-
rored the social
changes happen-
ing outside of the
studios inwhichtheyweremade, evenas
the musicians waged their own wars
against one another. In 1970, two of
those groups fell apart, one achievedcrit-
ical cultural mass andalsocollapsed, and
another broke through to a new level of
mass acceptance.
Browne juxtaposes the growing dis-
harmony within CSNY with the turbu-
lent year of Charles Mansons trial, home-
grown terrorist bombings, Nixons pola-
rizing presidency and buzzwords like re-
cession and inflation. Something about
Deja vu the sense of frailty in 4+20
andHelpless, the addledparanoia of Al-
most Cut My Hair, the urge to escape it
all in Our House summed up post-
Kent State America. The dark clouds
that hovered over the album, the results
of the bands own personal relationships
and emotional tumult, also tapped into
something larger and beyond their con-
trol.
Some of the Beatles material Browne
dutifully revives feels shopworn; plenty
has already been written about the Beat-
les breakup. While Browne earns kudos
for tracking down the legal court papers
Paul McCartney filedonDec. 31, 1970, to
dissolve the foursome, hes more captiv-
ating when he reminds readers of how
the unraveling Simon & Garfunkel re-
flected the mood of 1970. In a year of re-
flective, tuneful pop standards Let It
Be, Weve Only Just Begun, The
Long and Winding Road, Your Song,
Aint No Mountain High Enough, Big
YellowTaxi andFire andRain none
loomed larger than the Grammy-win-
ningSongandRecordof theYear Bridge
Over Troubled Water. While its parent
albumflewout of college bookstores and
served as a balmon a weary nation look-
ing for quiet, homespun music after the
ugly Altamont music festival in 1969, its
composer quietly taught a songwriting
course at New York University.
So too did Taylors music offer a cushy
mattress against the rougher aspect of
the times. The second single from his
Sweet Baby James album, Fire and
Rain, would take almost the entire year
to become a hit, but Taylors ascension
would soon usher in the confessional,
soft rock epoch of the decades first half.
Taylors initially shy, seemingly addled
persona in 1970 (probably a result of the
hefty amount of heroin he consumed) re-
flected the confusion of the transitional
1970, Browne writes: I couldnt resist re-
visiting a moment when sweetly sung
music andugly times coexisted, evenfed
off eachother, inaworldgoneoff course.
Browne gives just enoughdetail onthe
events plaguing the country, like the
Kent State shootings that led to Neil
Youngs timely dispatch, Ohio, for
CSNY, tomakehis books thesis work. He
leaves more fleshed-out accounts of U.S.
history on Vietnam strategy and the
Manson trial outcome to others.
Fire and Rain works as a history les-
son but is foremost a fast-paced music
fans appreciation of the brilliance of that
eras artists. Perhaps only Paul Simon, 70
this year, remains the most consistently
creative; his new album So Beautiful or
So What rivals his 1970 work. Maybe in
a later bookBrowne canwrite about how
Simon captures his generations con-
cerns in 2011 as well as he did 41 years
ago. One hopes that that book will prove
as potent. But for now, Fire and Rains
astute observations compel.
Book is happy

music, culture

roundup promotes the National
Healthy Beaches Campaign,
championed by Leatherman.
California beaches rarely
make the list no Laguna, Ma-
libu-Surfrider, Zuma, San
Onofre, Windansea and other
Southern California beaches
made legend by the likes of the
Beach Boys and Jan &Dean. Dr.
Beach has said that under his
criteria, California beaches are
too cold and too polluted. Any-
one who has put up with health
warnings at Doheny State
Beach or Santa Monica knows
the latter is too true.
But the march of time has fi-
nally brought California to the
top. Its a rare year when the
beach bridesmaid on the list
doesnt get the top spot the fol-
lowing year. Every now and
then, Leatherman will throw a
curve and jump a beach a notch.
So that means that the No. 2
beach this year, Coronado near
San Diego, is a heavy favorite to
be the best beach next summer.
In the No. 3 slot is Kahanamoku
Beach in Waikiki. It will proba-
bly get the nod in 2013.
I am sure the next two beach-
es will get even heavier promo-
tion. Most of Dr. Beachs picks
over the years have been state
parks or remote sand strands.
But Coronado is in front of the
Hotel del Coronado and adja-
cent to the eighth largest city in
the U.S. Kahanamoku is the
beach in front of the Hilton Ha-
waiianVillage. Thats thekindof
publicity that makes a market-
ing department salivate the
only hotel on the best beach in
America.

A BEACH HALL OF FAME
The guy from the movie
might not be the brightest bulb,
but he does know how to read
andwrite, andhes gottena girl to
fall in love with him, Day says
with a laugh. Hes sexier than
Charlie fromSunny. Charlie has
a dirty sexiness to him, and by
dirty, I mean covered in filth.
Many of Days scenes in Hor-
rible Bosses involve Aniston
pouncing on him. For some guys,
that might soundlike a dreamjob
but Day says it wasnt as easy as it
looks.
Its just awkward, he ex-
plains. I met Jennifer once at the
read-through of the script, and
thenext day, Imremovingalot of
her clothes.
I was just trying not to embar-
rass her or myself, say my lines
and hit my mark. Shes very
friendly and has an ability to
make you feel like youve known
her your whole life. That helped.
So we both laughed at the crazi-
ness of our jobs.
ABronx native who was raised
in Rhode Island, Day got hooked
on acting in college after realiz-
ing he didnt have the right stuff
for acareer as aprobaseballer. He
spent a number of years in New
York and Los Angeles doing thea-
ter work and guest spots on TV
shows before he grew frustrated
with the poor quality of the mate-
rial coming his way.
Rob and Glenn and I thought
that we could do something just
as goodif not better thanwhat we
were reading, he says. The mo-
tivation behind Sunny was to
gain some control over what we
were doingas actors. Andthe fact
that the showhas taken off is just
icing on the cake.
The series, which revolves
largely around the goings-on at
Paddys Bar in Philadelphia, is
shot on a soundstage in Los An-
geles. But every summer, the cast
travels to the City of Brotherly
Love for a couple of weeks of film-
ing.
When we shoot in South Phil-
ly, everyone seems to come out
on their stoops and watch us
work, Day says. Everyone
seems pretty excited to see us.
The fans havent turnedonus. No
snowballs with batteries in them
just yet.
Productionhas wrappedonthe
shows seventh season, which
will begin airing in September.
Theres been talk that upcoming
episodes might be darker than
previous installments.
I dont know where that ru-
mor got started, Day says. I
dont think the new shows are
any darker. I mean, were just up
to our old bag of tricks, and that
always involves looking at dark
topics (through) satire.
Episodes will be set at the Jer-
sey Shore and involve an inter-
lude at a childrens beauty pag-
eant. Jason Sudeikis and the
members of the Kings of Leon
bandalsowill make guest appear-
ances.
We didnt know what to ex-
pect from those guys, Day says
about the notoriously volatile
rockers. We knewthey were fans
of the show so we gave them a
few lines in a scene at a high-
school reunion.
They had an early call, and we
thought, Theyre rock stars! Will
they even show up? But they
were there bright and early, and
they turned out to be a lot of fun
to work with. They did great.
The increasing popularity of
Sunny has sparked talk of a mo-
vie version but nothing is defi-
nite. In fact, the fate of an eighth
season has yet to be decided.
Were talking about it now,
Day says. Its still a blast to do
the show. I still love workingwith
those guys. Its a dream job. As
long as we can keep it fresh and
funny, Id like to keep doing it.
Playing a regular on the series
has made Day somethingof anin-
stitution in Philly, a town he calls
his home away from home.
He adds, Its so funny now be-
cause no matter where I go, I
have people coming up to me go-
ing, Hey, ImfromPhilly too. So
Ive completely lost my identity
as a guy who grew up in Rhode
Island. Im a Philly guy now.
DAY
Continued from Page 1F
There is a trick to playing these guys, and that is
to understand why theyre doing these terrible
things. If you can understand why, you can laugh at
them.
Charlie Day
HOT SPRINGS, N.C. Slack
packers its a nickname that is
not affectionately bestowed, but
its one an old friend and I now
proudlywear after alongweekend
hiking on the Appalachian Trail in
western North Carolina.
The 22 miles we covered over
2
1
2 days near Asheville hardly
seemed scoff-worthy. With long
strenuous climbs through deep
woods and sometimes steep,
rocky and twisty terrain, in nearly
six-hour stretches, stopping only
brieflyfor water or snackbreaks, it
was exhilarating. We did make
one indulgence though, spending
both nights in hotel rooms rather
than sleeping bags under the
stars.
Even so, we can still claimto be
among the more than 2 million
people who experience some part
of the trail each year. The most re-
vered are through-hikers, trekk-
ing the entire 2,181-mile distance
nonstop over some four to six
months between Georgia and
Maine.
Hard-corehikers consider those
who stick to day hikes, with the
night spent in town rather than a
tent, slackers. My friend and I
sheamarathoner, meanavidexer-
ciser andtennis player, bothinour
early50sbegtodiffer. For those
without the time to spend half a
year in the wilderness, day hikes
are a great alternative.
Our home base was the tiny
Blue Ridge mountain town of Hot
Springs, near the Tennessee bor-
der. Its a 45-minute drive from
Asheville, where our planes
from Chicago and New York
landed minutes apart. Asheville is
a lively, artsy mountain city well
worth a visit itself. But hiking was
our goal, so after picking up our
rental car and stopping for a deli-
cious lunchof quicheandsalads at
Ashevilles vegetarian-friendly
Early Girl Eatery, we headed up
curvy Route 25 to Hot Springs.
The town sits at the confluence
of the French Broad River and
Spring Creek, and is named after
natural mineral hot springs bub-
bling up from those waters. Pri-
vately owned for more than two
centuries, the springs site has
housed a series of resort hotels
promoting the waters supposed
healing powers and drawing tour-
ists year round.
The Appalachian Trail is the
other big draw, and one of the re-
gions main economic drivers.
The trail literally runs smack
through Hot Springs, and the Ap-
palachian Trails diamond-shaped
logo can be found in Hot Springs
on the sidewalk that runs along
Bridge Street, the main drag. The
street is even marked with a cou-
ple of the trails familiar white
blazes, more commonly found on
trees and rocks in the woods, at
the turnoff where the trail and the
street diverge.
The trail ascends into the
mountains on either side of town.
Most through-hikers start in early
spring in the south, at Springer
Mountain, Ga., and make their
way up to Maines Mount Katah-
din, though you can do it in either
direction. The route runs across
the railroad tracks in Hot Springs,
over abridgestraddlingawide, in-
viting-looking stretch of the
French Broad, and alongside the
river for less than a mile before
climbing up more than 1,000 feet
to Lovers Leap Rock and beyond.
Through-hikers starting in Ge-
orgia generally hit Hot Springs af-
ter about three weeks on the trail,
and for many, it becomes a mini-
oasis.
There arent that many places
where theywalkright throughthe
middle of civilization, said inn-
keeper Pete Nagle, a member of
the towns tourism association
and owner the Mountain Magno-
lia Inn.
Some just blow through and
do their laundry and keep on go-
ing, said Nagle. Some are beat
up pretty good, and most spend
at least one night in town.
It was sunny and hot in early
June when we hit the trail, and we
were grateful to take off into the
shade of the woods. Deep groves
of rhododendrons as tall as trees,
gloriously blooming shades of
pale pink and white, punctuated
the deciduous forest. Songbirds
andour boots hittingthedirt were
the only sounds.
We sawlittle wildlife other than
squirrels, but the woods were so
deep and silent I sometimes felt
certain that bears were lurking
around each bend. The only other
threat I feared were thunder-
storms forecast the same day we
perhaps foolishlydecidedtohikea
12-mile stretch that included Max
Patch, a 4,629-foot bald peak cov-
ered in pasture grass, with breath-
taking views of the surrounding
mountains, including the Great
Smokies in the distance. I just
knew my friends metal hiking
sticks would make us lightning
magnets, but therainheldoff until
we got back to town.
We also saw surprisingly few
other hikers. On the first full day,
heading north out of Hot Springs,
we trekked two hours before en-
countering other people. They
were through-hikers, a married
couple from Friendswood, Texas,
and we listened rapt as they
shared their story.
Paul Koll, 62, and his 58-year-
oldwife, Eva, hadbeenonthe trail
for almost 300 miles and just over
one month since starting April 30
in Georgia. Theyd conquered the
highest point onthe entire trail
Clingmans Dome in Tennessees
Great Smokies, elevation 6,643
feet, and despite countless bug
bites andsore feet wrappedinmo-
leskin, Eva, a travel nurse when
shes not hiking, was almost giddy.
That lofty dome was like, lickety
split, nothin, she said. I thought
it was going to be terrible.
They figured it would take six
months to reach Maine. And if
theydont makeit beforethesnow
flies, well come next year and
finish, Eva said cheerfully.
The funny part of it is, Paul
said admiringly, my wife would
get up in the morning after hard
day, with a smile on her face, and
say, Lets do it again!

Updated carpeting and appliances are
just some of the reasons to make time to
visit 55 Highland Dr., in the Hanover Hills
section of Hanover Twp. Located just off
South Main St., this home has four bed-
rooms and three baths, plus an oversized
garage, all located on a professionally
landscaped lot. There is even a two-tiered
wrap-around deck for enjoying this quiet
setting.
Listed by Linda Teberio of Remax
Precision Properties for $174,900, much
of this home was updated in the past two
years, including carpeting in the living
and dining rooms, and new ooring in the
kitchen and baths.
The home is wrapped in tan vinyl sid-
ing with white trim. The 85-by-122 lot is
fenced to the rear.
A leaded glass front door leads into a
tiled foyer, where stairs lead down to the
family room or up into the living room.
The living room is a comfortable
14-by-13 and has a picture window front
bringing plenty of natural light in on
cocoa brown carpeting accented by pale
gold walls.
This room opens to the rear to the
adjacent 14-by-13 dining room. The dcor
continues here and is complimented by a
double window rear and a wall air condi-
tioning unit.
The nearby eat-in kitchen is sized at 14-
by-14 and has room for a breakfast table
set against the inside wall.
There is gorgeous gray ceramic tile
in the updated kitchen complimenting
red laminate countertops over white
cabinets with a white tiled backsplash. A
single window over the sink offers a view
of the rear yard. The appliances were
all purchased within the last two years,
including a side-by-side refrigerator, wall
oven, dishwasher, and cooktop. There are
recessed lights in the built-in softs.
A hall takes you to the left to the 14-by-
14 master bedroom. Offering burgundy
carpeting with cocoa colored walls, this
comfortable room has a walk-in closet,
windows side and rear, and is accented by
a wooden chair rail.
The adjacent master bath features
white tiled walls and a white tiled oor
with cocoa colored walls, a cultured
marble sink tops a white wooden vanity.
There is a separate walk-in shower.
A second bath on this level has a white
tile oor, a triple white vanity with two cul-
tured marble sinks, and pale green tiled
walls. There is a tiled tub and shower

SALE BY OWNER
BUY BUY ME ME
54 Penn Street
I am an older 3 bed-
room home with a
total upgrade. My
rooms are large and
airy, with oak floors
in the dining room.
My kitchen is mod-
ern with oak cabi-
nets, ceramic tile
backsplash, and a
built in table. My
laundry room is on
the first floor with a
powder room. My
master bath is
ceramic tile with
granite vanity and
walk in linen closet. I
have nice closets,
ceiling fans, and my
gas furnace works
great. My wrap
porch is lovely to
hang out on, and I
have a sweet side
yard that is fenced
with flowering bush-
es and hedges for
privacy. My full attic
has wood flooring,
my walls have been
repainted and some
have crown mold-
ing. I still have my
original stained
glass front window.
My neighbors are
Wyoming Valley
Mall, Home Depot,
and Holy Savior
Church. My owner
needs to move to a
smaller house, so I
am priced below
market. I am pretty
and clean and ready
to move into. Call
my owner and set
up a time to take a
look at me. $79,800
