Wilkes-Barre city officials
have acknowledged they are un-
able to account for nearly 18,000
gallons of gasoline and diesel
fuel that a Times Leader investi-
gation re-
vealed are mis-
sing from the
citys fuel tanks
over the past
seven months.
The city
pumps, locat-
edat the Public
Works Depart-
ment, dis-
pensed a com-
bined total of
at least 60,910
gallons of gaso-
line and diesel
between Dec. 1, 2011 and June
22, a review of records shows.
But a lack of oversight at the
North Pennsylvania Avenue fa-
cility has left officials unable to
identify where 17,880 gallons, or
29 percent of the total, went.
Mayor TomLeighton and oth-
er cityofficials saidtheywereun-
aware of the discrepancies until
advised of the newspapers find-
ings. They vowed to investigate
and take corrective action.

Mayor Tom
Leighton
Soon, borrowing a book from
your local library may be as
easy as turning on, logging in
and checking out.
The Luzerne County Library
System is in negotiations with
several e-book vendors and
wants to begin lending digital
books for the Amazon Kindle,
Barnes & Noble Nook and oth-
er e-readers by fall.
Its just really an extension
of what we already do, Library
System Director Richard Miller
said. We lend books, and e-
books are just another exten-
sion of that.
Its an idea library directors
said tech-savvy borrowers and
librarians are eagerly awaiting.
Its the future, said Anne
Hogya, director of the Pittston
Memorial Library. Its what
people want. Everybodys so
technology savvy now, and the
younger generations expect a
screen. Even in the school they
have smart boards; they use
screens.

HAZLETON It wasnt a
stretch Saturday night for a
small group of people to add reg-
istering voters to mix of music,
flags and fireworks at the Hold
Your Flag High Day event cele-
brating the Fourth of July.
The city of Hazleton spon-
sored the free event at the Har-
man-Geist Stadium and four
people with clipboards and
forms stood outside the gates as
part of the Organizing for Amer-
ica registration effort being held
throughout the state this week-
end in conjunction with the re-
election campaign of President
Barack Obama.
None of the four openly cam-
paigned for the president and
Vice President Joe Biden; they
welcomed Democrats, Republi-
cans, Independents and people
unaffiliated with a party to sign
up to vote in the Nov. 6 general
election.
The reason were here is to
register voters, said Anne Ma-
rie Shelby of Hazle Township.
We dont politicize.
Shelby, 61, acknowledged she
is a lifelong Democrat and re-
called she was 10 when she first
got involved in a presidential
race.
I was a Kennedy girl, she
said, referring to Massachusetts
Sen. John F. Kennedys 1960 vic-
tory over Vice President Richard
Nixon.
Anthony Gadola, 64, of Hazle
Township joined the group and
kept his support for President
Obama under wraps.
Gadola, a registered Inde-
pendent, privately said he
thought the president deserves
another four-year term.
I think he has done one great
job and I would like to see him
finish what he started, said Ga-
dola.
DanAronsonof MountainTop
and Emilio Mendez of Bethle-
hem, a fieldorganizer withOrga-
nizingfor American, alsopartici-
pated in the registration drive.
At most six people were regis-
tered over the two hours of the
drive, said Shelby.
Some of the people who said
they were not registered did not
sign up.
Ayoung woman was prepared
to fill out a form but reconsi-
dered when she said she was
moving to Pittsburgh to go to
school.
Another woman said she was
not interested.
The completed forms will be
turned in to the Luzerne County
Bureauof Elections. Thelast day
to register before the general
election is Oct. 9.

FAIRMOUNT TWP. Emer-
gency medical personnel respon-
ded to a report of a woman who
fell on a trail at Ricketts Glen
State Park around 2:40 p.m.
Saturday, according to a 911
dispatcher. The woman was
transported by ambulance to a
hospital for treatment. The
name of the woman and her
condition were not available.
WILKES-BARRE TWP.
Police Friday charged Arnold
Oelke Jr., 40, no known address,
in connection with the break-in
at American Legion Post 815 on
Chestnut Street earlier this year.
Oelke was arraigned on charg-
es of burglary, criminal trespass,
theft by unlawful taking, terror-
istic threats and criminal mis-
chief and committed to the
Luzerne County Correctional
Facility for lack of $20,000 bail.
Police said: A cleaning wom-
an heard a hammering sound
when she opened the building
around 6 a.m. on Feb. 19 and
saw a man, later identified as
Oelke, squatting on the floor in
front of a video poker machine.
He jumped up and attempted to
leave but the door was locked.
He threatened to kill the clean-
ing woman if she did not open
the door.
Police determined the man
climbed through a window in
the rear of the building and
broke into the jukebox, cigarette
machine, three video poker
machines and cash register,
taking an estimated $2,700 in
cash along with a large bottle of
Jack Daniels whiskey from be-
hind the bar.
On the same day as the bur-
glary, a woman reported to
police a man she only knew as
Arnold and a woman named
Laurie came to her house. The
man was carrying a bottle of
Jack Daniels with a bar spout
attached and emptied a large
amount of cash from his black
hooded sweatshirt. The man did
not say where he got the money.
The woman said she was afraid
for herself and her children and
wanted the couple to leave.
They gave her two sets of keys,
a screwdriver, and a broken
soldering iron and told her to
get rid of them. He counted
more than $1,000 in bills and
change, gave the womans chil-
dren three $5 bills and asked her
give him and the woman he was
with a ride to a residence in
South Wilkes-Barre. She com-
plied and returned home to take
the money from her children
and the tools and contacted
police. A member of the Legion
later identified the keys as sto-
len from inside the bar next to
the cash register.
HANOVER TWP. Police
said they are investigating a
hit-and-run accident that oc-
curred at approximately 5 p.m.
Friday on Oxford Street.
Police said a white SUV re-
portedly struck a parked Chev-
rolet Monte Carlo owned by
Thomas Blendick, traveled onto
the sidewalk, then fled the
scene heading east towards
South Main Street. Parts left at
the scene indicate the SUV was
a Lincoln or Ford.
HAZLETON Police said
they arrested Jonathan Alejo,
27, of East Broad Street, Hazle-
ton, early Friday morning on
charges he threatened to kill a
woman with a broken mirror.
Alejo was arraigned in Wilkes-
Barre Central Court on charges
of terroristic threats and harass-
ment. He was jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facil-
ity for lack of $8,000 bail.
Police allege Alejo smashed
items inside his residence and
threatened to kill a woman with
a broken mirror at about 3 a.m.
Friday, according to the criminal
complaint.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on July 5 before Dis-
trict Judge Joseph Zola in Ha-
zleton.
WILKES-BARRE A woman
who was escorted out of a bar
for fighting with patrons early
Friday morning fought with a
police officer and was subdued
with a stun gun, police said.
Angela Sukadelski, 31, of
Wilkes-Barre, continued to be
unruly at police headquarters,
where she spat at an officer
processing her arrest, police
said.
Sukadelski was charged with
aggravated assault by a prisoner,
resisting arrest, public drunk-
enness and disorderly conduct,
arraigned at the Luzerne Coun-
ty Correctional Facility and
committed for lack of $2,000
bail.
Police said: An officer saw a
bouncer at Locals Bar near
Poplar and Arch streets escort
Sukadelski, who was screaming
and yelling, outside around 2:05
a.m. The bouncer told the offi-
cer Sukadelski was fighting with
patrons. The officer repeatedly
told her to calm down, but she
would not comply. When she
was advised she was under
arrest she fought with the offi-
cer and refused to place her
hands behind her back so she
could be handcuffed. The officer
took her to the ground and she
slipped her left hand out of the
cuffs. The officer used a stun
gun and was able to get control
of her and transport her to po-
lice headquarters where she spit
at another officer.
DORRANCE TWP. State
police reported a Gateway note-
book computer, a 19-inch televi-
sion and cash were stolen dur-
ing a burglary at the residence
of Pamela Dixon on South Main
Road. The break-in occurred
between 10 a.m. and 4:40 p.m.
Saturday, state police said.
Anyone with information
about the burglary is asked to
contact state police in Hazleton
at 570 459-3890.
POLICE BLOTTER
Supporters of each bill said
they were designed to strength-
en state oversight of charter
schools, overhaul the way the
state distributes special educa-
tion aid and seek recommenda-
tions to address longstanding
school board complaints on the
amount of taxpayer money char-
ter schools receive.
The big difference was that
the Senate bill would create a
$50 million tax credit to provide
scholarships for students want-
ing to transfer out of the states
worst schools.
Earlier, the House sent to Cor-
bett a bill to establish new per-
formance evaluation standards
for public school teachers,
which the Republican governor
supports, despite complaints by
Democrats and education advo-
cates that the final version of the
bill excluded charter school
teachers from the new require-
ments.
While a $27.7 billion general
appropriations bill has passed
bothchambers, keybudget-relat-
ed legislation remained waiting
inthe wings for a resolutionto the
fight between the House, Senate
and governors office over the
competing education bills.
One of those bills heldCorbetts
biggest legislative priority: Tax
breaks beginning in 2017 de-
signed to entice the multibillion-
dollar construction of an integrat-
ed petrochemical industry in
Pennsylvania.
The current budget expires
at midnight, and legislative
leaders have been working
long days trying to tie down
deals, write legislationandline
upvotes before the endof June,
when lawmakers traditionally
leave Harrisburg for the sum-
mer. Corbett, a Republican, has
pledged to sign on-time bud-
gets.
Meanwhile, several other
bills that were budget-related
or part of Corbetts education
agenda, including ones that
make substantial changes to
welfare and tax laws, were
moving toward his desk de-
spite having been public for
less than two days.
BUDGET
Continued fromPage 1A
WELFARE: The House of Representatives gave final approval to a bill
that would add work or tougher work-search requirements for poor
adults to qualify for state-subsidized health care. The same bill will
delay the elimination of a Depression-era cash benefit by one month
until Aug. 1 for adults temporarily unable to work.
SOCIAL SERVICES: Gov. Tom Corbett failed to win support for a plan
to absorb seven different pots of aid for county-administered social
services for the homeless, mentally ill and disabled, neglected or
abused children and those addicted to drugs and alcohol into one
block grant program. So he settled for a pilot program that could
involve up to 20 volunteer counties, and the House gave final approv-
al.
TEACHER EVALUATION: The House gave final approval to a bill that
would replace the current performance evaluations for public school
teachers now based solely on classroom observations by superiors.
The new system would rely on those observations for half of the rat-
ing and the other half would be based on multiple measures of stu-
dent achievement, including standardized test scores, classroom
activities and quiz scores. Critics said the measure excused charter
school teachers from the same standards.
CHARTER SCHOOLS: Corbett wanted to smooth the road to creating
privately run, taxpayer-funded charter schools by putting the decision
in the hands of an appointed state board, rather than locally elected
school boards, and stripping the ability of parents and teachers to
prevent the conversion of a public school building into a charter
school. But support did not materialize after a last-ditch effort.

NICHOLSON
Association buys rail station
The Nicholson Heritage Association
has purchased the former Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroads
Nicholson Station. The landmark has
been a virtually unchanged fixture in the
town for more than160 years.
Buying the station is the first step in
the associations initiative to renovate the
station into a community and visitors
center, as well as a gateway to the Via-
duct Valley Way Scenic Byway.
The purchase was made using dona-
tions and a $25,000 Pepsi Refresh Project
grant, awarded based on online votes to
help particular projects.
HARRISBURG
Food program for children
State Rep. Sid Michaels Kavulich is
notifying residents of a program to ensure
children do not go hungry this summer.
The Pennsylvania Summer Food Ser-
vice Program connects people to local
sites that offer free meals to children
throughout the summer months. Kavul-
ich said no income requirements exist
and all children who show up will receive
a nutritious meal.
In many instances,
school is the only place
children receive a well-
balanced meal, said
Kavulich. This is a
great program that
doesnt turn any chil-
dren away.
The Pennsylvania
Summer Meals Loca-
tion Finder (www.pasummermeals.com)
lets someone find a nearby site by typing
in their street address and desired meal,
which, depending on the site, can include
breakfast, lunch, supper or morning or
afternoon snack.
Anyone interested in becoming a spon-
sor, opening a site or volunteering for the
program should contact Kavulichs office
at 562-2350 or 254-9672 for details. More

WILKES-BARRE
Professor receives grant
A Wilkes University professor was
among 51 early-career scientists to be
awarded a research grant from the Re-
search Corporation for Science Advance-
ment.
Christian E. Laing, a chemistry profes-
sor, was awarded a $35,000 grant to
advance his research project titled: Mod-
eling RNA Tertiary Structure by Merging
SHAPE Chemistry with Comparative
Sequence Alignment. The idea is to
create 3D models of
RNA molecules by
using experimental
data and computation
methods, Laing said.
Essentially, all ge-
netic information
comes from DNA. A
portion of DNA in-
formation translates
into protein, but most of it is believed to
become RNA. ribonucleic acid. So here
lies the importance of this project, be-
cause to understand the human genome,
we need to understand the function of
RNA, he said.
The award was part of RCSAs 2012
Cottrell College Science Awards a total
of $1.8 million in grants to support early
career scientists at primarily undergradu-
ate institutions in the United States. The
Awards support significant research that
contributes to the advancement of sci-
ence and to the professional and scholarly
development of faculty and their stu-
dents.

SCRANTON Lackawanna County
Coroner Timothy Rowland ruled Friday
that Corey Ryan, a disabled man who
useda wheelchair, diedof multiple trau-
matic injuries sustained when he was
struck by a vehicle
June 15.
Wilkes-Barre police
claim Ryan, 20, of
Wilkes-Barre, was
struckby a hit-and-run
driver as he crossed
South River Street
near West Northamp-
ton Street at about 2 a.m. on June 15.
Ryan died shortly before 5 a.m. in
Hospice Community Care in Dunmore,
Lackawanna County. Rowlandmade his
ruling following an autopsy Saturday
morning.
Ryan had been recovering from inju-
ries suffered in a previous car accident,
but Rowland said those injuries did not
play a role in his death.
City police charged Danielle R. Cas-
trignano, 20, of Kingston, with striking
Rowland with her vehicle. The charges
came after she surrendered June 16.
She was charged with an accident in-
volving death or personal injury, a felo-

Property owners in Wilkes-Barre, Pitt-
ston and Nanticoke have until July 9 to
pay 2012 Luzerne County taxes without
a 10-percent penalty, according to the
county treasurers office.
The office collects county taxes in the
three cities.
The deadline to pay county taxes
without a penalty varies inother munici-
palities because bills
arent issued in one
batch at the same time.
Elected tax collec-
tors handle the receipt
of tax payments in 69
municipalities, and Ha-
zleton and home-rule
municipalities rely on
outside companies or
in-house collection.
The law allows a 2-
percent discount for
payment within two months of the tax
bill issuance andanother twomonths for
payment without penalty, said Laura
Beers, treasurers office manager andtax
administrator.
This four-month period technically
ends July 8, in the three cities where col-
lection is handled by the county, but the
law requires payments to be accepted
the next business day because the dead-
line falls on a Sunday, Beers said.
A 10-percent penalty is added after
four months, increasing a $500 bill to
$550, Beers said.
Property owners in the three cities
have the option to pay their taxes online
with a credit or debit card, Beers said.
Aconvenience charge is added for the
service, but it may be less thanthe penal-
ty if property owners are able to pay the
debt sooner, she said.
The credit card convenience charge is
2.4 percent of the amount paid, or $12 on
a $500 payment. The Visa debit fee is a
flat $3.95.

JERUSALEM
Former PM Shamir dies
Former Israeli Prime Minister Yitz-
hak Shamir, who clung throughout his
life to the belief that Israel should hang
on to territory and never trust an Arab
regime, has died. He was 96.
Israeli media said Shamir died Sat-
urday at a nursing home in the town of
Herzliya, north of Tel Aviv.
Shamir served as prime minister for
seven years, from1983-84 and 1986-92,
leading his party to election victories
twice, despite lacking much of the
outward charisma that characterizes
many modern politicians.
Barely over five feet (1.52m) tall and
built like a block of granite, Shamir
projected an image of uncompromising
solidity during the first intifada, or
Palestinian uprising, in the West Bank
and Gaza that demanded an end to
Israeli occupation.
PHILADELPHIA
Pa. monsignor plans appeal
Lawyers for an imprisoned Roman
Catholic official will push to have him
released to await sentencing, arguing
that he has a good chance of having his
conviction thrown out on appeal.
Monsignor William Lynn has been in
prison since a jury found him guilty
June 22 of felony child endangerment.
Lynn oversaw clergy abuse complaints
at the Archdiocese of Philadelphia from
1992 to 2004.
A judge has suggested that she might
release Lynn to house arrest at a hear-
ing Thursday, if shes persuaded he
couldnt seek refuge at the Vatican or
elsewhere.
The 61-year-old Lynn faces 3
1
2 to
seven years in prison when he is sen-
tenced Aug. 13. But defense lawyers
expect to move that same day for a stay
of the sentence while he appeals.
By any account, his case is unprece-
dented in the 20-year history of clergy
abuse investigations in the United
States. Lynn was the first U.S. church
official ever charged for his handling of
abuse complaints.
GAUHATI, INDIA
Flood waters kill about 29
Surging flood waters have killed at
least 29 people and displaced more
than a million others in northeastern
India, officials said Saturday.
Heavy monsoon rains have caused
the Brahmaputra River one of Asias
largest to overflow its banks and
inundate more than 2,000 villages
across Assam state, according to the
flood control center in the state capital,
Gauhati.
This years flooding is the worst to
hit the state in many years. Air force
helicopters have been delivering food
and dropping off relief workers to af-
fected areas over the last two days.
The heavy rains eased Saturday after
more than a week, but more light rain
is forecast over the next 24 hours.
The monsoon season in India begins
in June and ends in September.
HYANNIS, MASS.
Exhibit on Jackie Kennedy
A special summer exhibit on Jackie
Kennedys life on Cape Cod has opened
at the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Mu-
seum.
The exhibit includes photos, hand-
written letters and other artifacts from
her time on the Cape.
The curator said the exhibit captures
Kennedy enjoying carefree days with
her family, a different glimpse of a
woman who was an international sen-
sation.
It includes a 1953 Life magazine
pictorial depicting time she spent on
the Cape with John F. Kennedy when
they were engaged.
Other images chronicle Jackie Ken-
nedys life on the Cape during her
husbands presidency, when the couple
and their children would frequent
Hyannis Port.

CAIRO Islamist Mohammed
Morsi promised a new Egypt and
unwavering support to the powerful
military as he took the oath of office
Saturday to become the countrys first
freely elected president, succeeding
Hosni Mubarak who was ousted 16
months ago.
In a solemn inauguration ceremony
before the Supreme Constitutional
Court, Morsi also became the Arab
worlds first freely elected Islamist
president and Egypts fifth head of
state since the overthrow of the mon-
archy some 60 years ago.
We aspire to a better tomorrow, a
new Egypt and a second republic,
Morsi said before the black-robed
judges in the courts Nile-side head-
quarters built to resemble an ancient
Egyptian temple.
Today, the Egyptian people laid the
foundation of a new life absolute
freedom, a genuine democracy and
stability, said Morsi, a 60-year-old
U.S.-trained engineer from the Muslim
Brotherhood, a fundamentalist group
that has spent most of the 84 years
since its inception as an outlawed or-
ganization harshly targeted by succes-
sive governments.
He later delivered his inauguration
address at a gigantic Cairo University
lecture hall packed with several thou-
sands, including many members of the
Islamist-dominated parliament dis-
solved by the military earlier in June.
Morsi repeated his oath of office
and lavishly praised the military,
which has rushed a series of decrees
this month that stripped Morsi of sig-
nificant powers, gave it legislative
power and took control of the process
of drafting a permanent constitution.
It has also retained its influence on
key domestic and foreign policy is-
sues.
The armed forces are the shield
and sword of the nation, he said. I
pledge before God that I will safe-
guard that institution, soldiers and
commanders, raise its prestige and
support it with all the powers avail-
able to me so it can be stronger.
But Morsi also appeared later in the
address to urge the military to hand
over all powers to his elected adminis-
tration.

GENEVA An international
conference on Saturday accept-
ed a U.N.-brokered peace plan
for Syria, but left open the key
question of whether the coun-
trys president could be part of a
transitional government.
The U.S. backed away fromin-
sisting that the plan explicitly
exclude President Bashar Assad
from any role
inanewSyrian
government,
hoping the
concession
would encour-
age Russia to
put greater
pressure on its
longtime ally
to end the violent crackdown
that the opposition says has
claimed over 14,000 lives.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton insisted that Assad
wouldstill have togo, sayingit is
now incumbent on Russia and
China to showAssad the writing
on the wall.
There is a credible alterna-
tive to the Assad regime, she
said. What we have done here is
to strip away the fiction that he
and those with blood on their
hands can stay in power.
Moscowhad refused to back a
provision that would call for As-
sad to step aside, insisting that
outsiders cannot order a politi-
cal solution for Syria and accus-
ing the West of ignoring the
darker side of the Syrian opposi-
tion. The opposition has made
clear it would not take part in a
government in which Assad still
held power.
Russian Foreign Minister Ser-
gey Lavrov underlined that the
plan does not require Assads
ouster, saying there is no at-
tempt in the document to im-
pose on the Syrian people any
type of transitional process.
The U.N. plan calls for estab-
lishing a transitional govern-
ment of national unity, with full
executive powers.

WASHINGTON Millions across the
mid-Atlantic region sweltered Saturday
in the aftermath of violent storms that
pummeled the eastern U.S. with high
windsanddownedtrees, killingat least13
peopleandleaving3millionwithout pow-
er during a triple-digit heat wave.
Power officials said the outages
wouldnt be repaired for several days to a
week, likening the damage to a serious
hurricane. Emergencies were declared in
Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, the Dis-
trict of Columbia and Virginia, where
Gov. BobMcDonnell saidthestatehadits
largest non-hurricane outage in history,
asmorestormsthreatened. Thisisavery
dangerous situation, the governor said.
In some Virginia suburbs of Washing-
ton, emergency 911 call centers were out
of service; residents were toldtocall local
police and fire departments. Huge trees
fell across streets in Washington, leaving
cars crunched up next to them, and onto
the fairway at the AT&T National golf
tournament in Maryland. Cell phone and
Internet service was spotty, gas stations
shut down and residents were urged to
conserve water until sewage plants re-
turned to power.
Theoutages wereespeciallydangerous
because they left the region without air
conditioning in an oppressive heat. Tem-
peratures soared to 94 by mid-afternoon
and were to hit 100 in Baltimore and
Washington, where it had hit 104 on Fri-
day.
The stormdid damage fromIndiana to
NewJersey, although the bulk of it was in
West Virginia, Washington and suburban
Virginia and Maryland. At least six of the
dead were killed in Virginia, including a
90-year-old woman asleep in bed when a
tree slammed into her home. Two young
cousins in NewJersey were killed when a
tree fell on their tent while camping. Two
were killed in Maryland, one in Ohio, one
in Kentucky and one in Washington.
Utilityofficialssaidit couldtakeat least
several days to restore power to all cus-
tomers becauseof thesheer magnitudeof
the outages and the destruction. Winds
and toppled trees brought down entire
power lines, and debris has to be cleared
frompower stations andother structures.
All of that takes time and cant be accom-
plished with the flip of a switch.
This is very unfortunate timing, said
Myra Oppel, a spokeswoman for Pepco,
which reported over 400,000 outages in
Washington and its suburbs. We do un-
derstandthe hardshipthat this brings, es-
pecially with the heat as intense at is. We
will be working around the clock until we
get the last customer on.

JACKSON, Miss. Mississippi could
soon become the only state without an
abortion clinic because of a new law tak-
ing effect this weekend. Critics say the
law would force women to drive hours
across the state line to obtain a constitu-
tionally protected procedure, or could
even force some to carry unwanted preg-
nancies to term.
Top officials, including the governor,
say limiting the number of abortions is
exactly what they have in mind.
RepublicanGov. Phil Bryant frequently
says he wants Mississippi tobe abortion-
free.
If it closes that clinic, then so be it,
Bryant said as in April as he signed the
law, which takes effect Sunday.
Abortion rights supporters have sued,
asking a judge to temporarily block the
law from taking effect. So far, that hasnt
happened.
The law requires anyone performing
abortions at the states only clinic tobe an
OB-GYN with privileges to admit pa-
tients to a local hospital. Such privileges
can be difficult to obtain, and the clinic
contends the mandate is designed to put
it out of business. Aclinic spokeswoman,
Betty Thompson, has said the two physi-
cians who do abortions there are OB-
GYNs who travel from other states.
Michelle Movahed of the New York-
based Center for Reproductive Rights is
one of the attorneys representing the
Mississippi clinic in its federal lawsuit.
She saidinaninterviewFriday that sever-
al states includingMississippi, Kansas
and Oklahoma have tried in the past
two or three years to chip away at access
to abortion.
Mississippi could be only state without abortion
New law taking effect could force
women to drive across state line to
find a clinic.

vice is available under the tax

ty.org.
Tax payments postmarked by
the deadline must be accepted
by tax collectors with no penal-
ty, she said.
Some property owners use
online bill services to have tax
payment checks issued to the
county, Beers said. These ser-
vices oftenrely ona mail sorting
systemthat omits the postal ser-
vice time stamping on enve-
lopes, Beers said. This becomes
a problem for payments made
close to the deadline.
Postmark is required for
each and every payment we
process after July 9 no excep-
tions. We must be able to prove
to the auditors that we are fol-
lowing the law, Beers said.
The treasurers office collect-
ed 73.6- to 78.1 percent of coun-
ty taxes in the three cities as of
June 26, or $7.7 million, Beers
said. The office expects a 92 per-
cent collection rate through
Dec. 31, which is the last pay-
ment date to avoid penalties be-
yond 10 percent.
The county has received
$77.65 million from 2012 prop-
erty taxes countywide this year
to date, or 86 percent of the bud-
geted $90.3 million, she said.

police she thought she struck a
shopping cart, according to the
criminal complaint.
Luzerne County District At-
torney Stefanie Salavantis said
her office is continuing to inves-
tigate the incident but couldnt
say whether additional charges
would be filed as a result of
Ryans death.
Ive been asked if she would
be charged with homicide by
motor vehicle, Salavantis said.
But I cant confirm or deny if
additional charges would be
added.
Salavantis said homicide by
motor vehicle charges could be
warrantedif therewas drinking
involved or recklessness, but
added, at this point I cant real-
ly comment, being that its a
case-by-case basis.
According to the police re-
port, an anonymous caller
claimed Castrignano had been
drinkingat the Hardware Bar on
South Main Street prior to the
crash. It was not immediately
known on Friday if police ob-
tained surveillance video to cor-
roborate the callers claim. Cas-
trignano has not been charged
with alcohol-related offenses.
State law mandates suspect-
ed drunken drivers need to be
tested for the presence of alco-
hol within two hours of being
stopped by police.
Castrignanos bail was modi-
fied by a district judge from
$10,000 straight to unsecured
during a preliminary hearing
Wednesday, meaning she can be
released without posting mon-
ey, but she remains jailed on a
detainer filed by the county pro-
bation officer after she was
charged by city police. That
hearing was continued until Ju-
ly 25.
Salavantis said she would
likely request that straight bail
be reinstated at Castrignanos
next hearing.

study at St. Charles Borromeo
Seminary in Wynnewood. Roche
graduated from Loysalsock
Township High School and
earned a bachelors degree in
history from the College of Wil-
liam & Mary in Virginia in
2006. Shortly thereafter he en-
tered St. Charles Borromeo
Seminary.
Since 2000, 31 men have been
ordained as priests in the dio-
cese, said Dan Gallagher, man-
ager of community affairs for
the diocese. To help increase
that number, Bishop Bambera
established an Office for Clergy
Formation to assist candidates
who may wish to pursue work
as a Catholic priest, he said.
There they can receive the sup-
port and guidance through their
discernment process, he added.
To become an ordained priest
within the diocese, a candidate
must complete four years of col-
lege level education specializing
in theology and philosophy, Gal-
lagher said. Then they must go
through a series of human,
spiritual, intellectual and pasto-
ral formation. In addition they
are required to serve in a variety
of ministries, he added.
Tudgay said he began his per-
sonal journey into the priest-
hood about six years ago while
attending college. Now that he
has completed the ordination,
he is excited to get started pro-
moting the beautiful Catholic
faith, he said.
He will serve as the assistant
pastor at Our Lady of Snows in
Clarks Summit immediately.
Roche will be serving as the as-
sistant pastor at St. Ignatius
Parish in Kingston.
Tudgay said many of the
priests he met while going
through the formation process
acted as his mentors. He also
pointed to his friends, family
and particularly his parents, Jeff
and Maggie, who attended Sat-
urdays ceremony.
Tudgay said he was emotion-
ally moved by the ceremony. He
appreciated the bishops com-
ments about how he will be-
come a true servant of God.
He emphasized he will be
dealing with significant chal-
lenges in the future ahead in his
attempt to proclaim the
Churchs message to the dioce-
san congregation influenced by
todays current materialistic so-
ciety.
He is optimistic he will enjoy
his new vocation.
Life is not life without chal-
lenges, he said.

and remove chest-high weeds be-
hind the building, a first step in
the sites conversion.
Lefkowitz said he next plans to
remove a dilapidated factory
building to the rear of the build-
ing, part of the VulcanIronWorks
foundry that formerly occupied
the site, to make room for a cus-
tomer parking lot.
He is also considering setting
aside part of the 1.14-acre proper-
tyfor acommunitygarden, which
could be used by children from
the nearby Luzerne County Head
Start program as well as to grow
herbs used in making medica-
tions and balms sold at the phar-
macy.
Howgreat would that be; buy-
ing Harrolds Pharmacy lip balm
made with our own spearmint
grown in our own backyard, Lef-
kowitz said.
In total, Lefkowitz plans to in-
vest $3.8 million on the building
conversion, which will more than
quadruple the space the pharma-
cy has available.
Pharmacists who pitched in
Saturday saidthey are eagerly an-
ticipating the space the 22,000-
square-foot building will provide.
Ericka Roback, a pharmacist
anddiabetesspecialist, saidit will
allow her room to teach the
monthly diabetes education
courses she currently runs at the
Jewish Community Center in
house, and will provide more
roomtomeet withpatients inpri-
vate.
Theyll be more private con-
sultation areas, Roback said.
Some people are embarrassed
that theyre even diagnosed, so
theyll be able tohave more priva-
cy here.
Julie Winsock manages the
pharmacys compounding de-
partment, where custom medi-
cines are mixed. At its current lo-
cation six to seven employees of
the department are working out
of a 187-square-foot space, she
said.
Its one of the biggest growing
partsof thebusiness, andweneed
to move into a new space to be
able to provide those services,
she said.
Lefkowitz said neighbors have
also taken an interest in the pro-
ject, and that he received a num-
ber of smiles and thumbs up dur-
ing Saturdays cleanup.
BenGregory, wholivesnearthe
bakery on Beekman Street, said
he was happy Lefkowitz won his
bid for the property and is con-
verting it.
What he has planned sounds
like a great thing for the area,
Gregory said. To be honest, Im
sort of glad it wasnt L.A.G. be-

Jennifer Dressler and Mark Baloh remover brush from behind the former Old River Road Bakery on Saturday. A team of Harrolds

PHILADELPHIA Several
dozen protesters affiliated with
the Occupy movement con-
vened from cities nationwide on
Independence Mall Saturday,
setting off tensions with park
rangers on the first morning of a
planned five-day national Occu-
py gathering.
Rangers disgruntled occu-
piers by telling them that they
could not bring their tents, even
unassembled ones, onto the
lawn owned by the National
Park Service.
Told that they could not set
up a card table to distribute lit-
erature on the Market Street
sidewalk without a permit, pro-
testers held out a "peoples per-
mit" that they had drafted.
One shouted, "I also have
one. Its called the Constitution
of the United States of America"
and read the First Amendment
aloud.
They removed the table.
A coordinator of the national
gathering and an Occupy media
representative declined to state
the planned sleeping arrange-
ments for the many out-of-town-
ers who they said have come to
historic Philadelphia during the
busy Fourth of July tourist sea-
son to participate in the protest.
But Dustin Slaughter, the
media representative, said that
the groups backup plan is to
sleep on the sidewalk in front of
a different bank each night. First
up, tonight, may be Bank of
America locations on Chestnut,
Locust, and Market Streets and
John F. Kennedy Boulevard.
Discussing their grievances,
the protesters mentioned a very
wide variety of issues, ranging
from bank regulation to over-
seas military engagements to
the availability of organic food
to safety concerns springing
from Japans Fukushima nuclear
disaster.
"The final straw was the Citi-
zens United decision. It turned
this into much less of a democ-
racy," said Jerry Sklarow, a Phi-
ladelphia artist and photogra-
pher, speaking of his decision to
join the protest.
"Everybody in the USA every-
where, you get the sense that
something is horribly wrong,"
said Mark Dorazio who also
goes by the name, "Truth-seek-
er." He said he has been walking
across the country since leaving
Albuquerque on January 9, tell-
ing people along the way that
he was headed to the national
Occupy gathering. "This could
be a viable third party. . .. The
Democrats and the Republicans
are not working for the common
people."
University of Pennsylvania
graduate student Andrew Korn
said that while the occupiers
discuss many issues - his per-
sonal focus is on student debt,
education, and the environ-
ment, all unified by a common
theme.

LOS ANGELES Rodney
King was remembered in Los
Angeles on Saturday as a forgiv-
ing man who bore the scars of
his infamous beating withdigni-
ty.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, who
delivered the eulogy at Forest
Lawn Hollywood Hills, said be-
fore the funeral that King never
showedbitterness totheofficers
who beat him.
People should not be judged
by the mistakes that they make,
but by how they rise above
them, Sharpton said. Rodney
had risen above his mistakes, he
never mocked anyone, not the
police, not the justice system,
not anyone.
He became a symbol of for-
giveness, Sharpton said.
The funeral came nearly two
weeks after King was found
dead at the bottom of the swim-
ming pool at his Rialto, Calif.
home on June 17. He was 47.
Family members held a pri-
vate service early in the day, fol-
lowed by a public memorial and
burial.
His death is
being treated
as an acciden-
tal drowning
but author-
ities are await-
ing autopsy re-
sults to deter-
mine the offi-
cial cause of death.
King became famous after his
beating by Los Angeles police in
1991 was captured on videotape
and broadcast worldwide, as
were photos of his bloodied and
bruised face.
The images of the grainy vid-
eo became a national symbol of
police brutality. It was played
over and over for the following
year, inflaming racial tensions
across the country.
More thana year later, four of-
ficers charged with felony as-
sault in the beating were acquit-
tedby a jury withnoblack mem-
bers. The verdict sparked one of
the most costly and deadly race
riots in U.S. history.
During the unrest, which left
more than 50 people dead and
caused more than $1 billion in
property damage, King famous-
ly pleaded for peace by asking,
Can we all get along?
His famous words were em-
broidered on the lid of Kings
casket, next to a portrait of him.

it, but that canbe assesseddown
the road, the email said, accord-
ing to CNN.
Spaniers attorney didnt im-
mediately return a call fromThe
Associated Press seeking com-
ment Saturday.
The timing of their change in
plans coming after Curleys
discussion with Paterno rais-
es questions about whether the
coachwas moreinvolvedthanhe
said in the decision.
Wick Sollers, the lawyer for
the Paterno family, said in a
statement Saturday that it
would be inappropriate for the
family to comment on the con-
tents of the emails because the
family didnt possess them.
To be clear, the emails in
question did not originate with
Joe Paterno or go to him as he
never personally utilized email,
Sollers said.
Schultz and Curleys lawyers
on Saturday echoed recent com-
ments by Gov. Tom Corbett
about the need for a solid case
before charging Sandusky. Cor-
bett began the investigation in
2009 when he was attorney gen-
eral.
For Curley, Schultz, Spanier
andPaterno, theresponsibleand
humane thing to do was, like
Governor Corbett, to carefully
and responsibly assess the best
way to handle vague, but trou-
bling allegations, the lawyers
said. Faced with tough situa-
tions, goodpeople try to do their
best to make the right deci-
sions.
ing reported it.
Sandusky was convicted this
month of 45 counts of sexually
abusing10 boys. The scandal led
to the ouster of Spanier and re-
vered coach Joe Paterno and
charges
against Curley
and Schultz,
who are ac-
cused of perju-
ry for their
grand jury tes-
timony and
failing to prop-
erly report sus-
pected child abuse. Spanier
hasnt been charged.
The timing of their change in
plans coming after Curleys
discussion with Paterno rais-
es questions about whether the
coachwas moreinvolvedthanhe
said in the decision.
TheCNNreport cites anemail
from Schultz to Curley on Feb.
26, 2001, 16 days after graduate
assistant Mike McQueary told
veteran coach Joe Paterno about
the shower assault. Schultz sug-
gests bringing the allegation to
the attention of Sandusky, Sand-
uskys charity and the Depart-
ment of Welfare, which investi-
gates suspected child abuse, ac-
cording to the report.
But the next night, Curley
sent an email to Spanier, saying
that after thinking about it more
and talking to Paterno, he was
uncomfortable with that plan
and wanted to work with Sand-
usky before contacting author-
ities, the report said.
If Sandusky is cooperative,
Curleys email said, we would
work with him. .... If not, we do
not havea choiceandwill inform
the two groups, according to
the report.
Spanier wrote back and
agreed with that approach, call-
ing it humane and a reasonable
way to proceed, according to
the report. But he also worried
about the consequences.
The only downside for us is if
message isnt heard and acted
upon and we then become vul-
nerable for not having reported
Paterno, ousted by the
schools board of trustees for
what was called his failure of
leadership surrounding allega-
tions against Sandusky, died of
lung cancer in January. After
Sanduskys arrest, Paterno said
through a spokesman that he re-
portedthe allegationto the head
of his department and that was
the last time the matter was
brought to my attention until
this investigation and I assumed
that the men I referred it to han-
dled the matter appropriately.
Sollers, the Paterno family
lawyer, said Saturday that Pater-
no testified truthfully and to the
best of his recollection to the
grand jury. He said Paterno be-
lievedthematter wouldbethor-
oughly and professionally inves-
tigated and that the coach did
not interfere with or attempt to
compromise any investigation.
Schultz, 62, andCurley, 58, de-
ny the allegations and have
asked a judge to dismiss the
charges. A status conference for
their case is scheduled for July
11.
Spanier sued Penn State in
May to try to get copies of his
email traffic from 1998 to 2004,
citing the pending investigation
beingconductedonthe universi-
ty by former FBI director Louis
Freeh. Two weeks ago, lawyers
for Penn State asked a judge to
throw out the lawsuit and said
the attorney generals office,
which is prosecuting Curley and
Schultz, had asked them not to
provide Spanier with the emails.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
Makingsteady progress Satur-
day against the most destructive
wildfire in Colorado history,
crews kept a wary eye onweather
thatwasgettingwarmeranddrier
as National guardtroops were de-
ployed to help local police get
things back to normal.
The weather is making pro-
gress in a bad direction. Hotter,
drier, with a chance of thunder-
storms in the afternoon. Winds
will shift fromonedirectiontoan-
other, saidIncident Commander
RichHarvey.
The 26-square-mile Waldo Ca-
nyon fire was 30 percent con-
tained. It was one of many burn-
ing across the West, including
eight in Utah and a fast-growing
blaze inMontana that forcedresi-
dents in several small communi-
ties to leave.
More than1,200 personnel and
six helicopters were fighting the
Waldo Canyon fire, and author-
ities said they were confident
theyd built good fire lines in
many areas to stop flames from
spreading.
Two bodies were found in the
ruins of one house, one of almost
350destroyedinthis city60miles
south of Denver. The victims
names havent been released. Po-
lice say fewer than10 people may
be unaccountedfor.
There are another couple of
people we still have some pretty
serious concerns about, Police
Chief Pete Carey said.
More than 150 National Guard
soldiers and airmen helped Col-
orado Springs police staff road-
blocks and patrol streets. Carey
saidSaturdaythepresenceof mil-
itary personnel will allow his de-
partment to resume normal po-
lice work inthe rest of the city.
About 10,000 people remain
evacuated, down frommore than
30,000 at the fires peak.
Today, people whose homes
were burned will be allowed to
takebustoursof theaffectedarea.
Among the fires elsewhere in
the West:
Utah: Residents were sifting
throughtheashesof morethan50
houses destroyed by a central
Utah wildfire. Wood Hollow fire
spokeswoman Dorothy Harvey
says the homeowners were al-
lowed to return Saturday to Indi-
anola along Utahs scenic Route
89. Inall, eight wildfires are burn-
ing across Utah. The latest to
break out Friday destroyed or
damaged six houses in the foot-
hills southwest of Salt Lake City.
Montana: Authorities in east-
ern Montana ordered the evacua-
tion of several communities Sat-
urday as the Ash Creek Complex
firesconsumedanother 72square
miles, swelling to 244 square
miles overnight. One home was
destroyed. Elsewhere, firefight-
ers worked to bolster fire lines on
at least five other large fires inthe
state.
Idaho: Afast-moving1,000-acre
wildfire in eastern Idaho that de-
stroyed 66 homes and 29 out-
buildings was expectedtobe con-
tained Saturday. Slightly calmer
weather helped in the effort to
halt the human-caused Charlotte
fire that started Thursday after-
noon. Some 1,000 residents were
evacuated; it was unclear when
they wouldbe allowedback.
Colorado: The last evacuees
from the High Park Fire in north-
ern Colorado have been allowed
toreturnhomeascrewsget closer
to full containment. The 136-
square-mile fire killed one resi-
dent and destroyed 259 houses, a
staterecorduntil thefirenearCol-
orado Springs destroyed 346
homes. In western Colorado, the
18-square-mile Pine Ridge Fire is
10 percent contained.

HANOVER TWP. A town-
ship man was extracted from
his pickup truck by firefighters
after rolling the vehicle on
Dundee Road Friday after-
noon.
Police said George Malesky,
55, of Lynwood, crossed two
lanes of traffic and off the
south side of Dundee Road at
3:44 p.m. Friday. The truck
struck several trees and came
to rest on its side, police said.
Malesky was freed from his
vehicle by firefighters and
transported to Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Cen-
ter by ambulance.
Police said investigation of
the crash is continuing.
Colleen Vonito of Lee
Park Avenue said a pitcher of
beer was thrown at her Old-
smobile Alero, damaging the
hood, at 10:26 p.m. Friday.
HANOVER TWP. A man
was arraigned Friday in
Wilkes-Barre Central Court on
drunken driving charges.
Philip James Clarke, 29, of
Lawrence Street, Wilkes-Barre,
was charged with fleeing or
attempting to elude police,
reckless endangerment, driving
under the influence of alcohol
and 10 traffic summaries. He
was jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility
for lack of $5,000 bail.
According to the criminal
complaint:
State police at Shickshinny
attempted to stop Clarke for
speeding on state Route 29 at
about 12:05 a.m. Friday. Clarke
stopped his vehicle but drove
away when the trooper exited
the cruiser.
Clarke drove onto Interstate
81 south exiting at Nuangola
and reentered onto the high-
way traveling north.
State police said speeds
reached 135 mph during the
pursuit.
Clarke exited in Wilkes-
Barre Township near the Mo-
hegan Sun Arena where he
abandoned his vehicle under
an overpass. Clarke ran up a
steep embankment ran across
the highway and was captured
under an overpass, according
to the criminal complaint.
Clarke allegedly told state
police he fled because he had
been drinking. He was trans-
ported to Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital for a blood test, state
police said.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on July 17 before
District Judge Joseph Halesey
in Hanover Township.
ASHLEY Police said they
are investigating thefts from a
construction business on
South Main Street on Thurs-
day.
Metal and large batteries
were stolen, police said.
Two vehicle descriptions
were provided to police, an
older model green Dodge
Dakota with a gray primer
box and an older model
brown Ford Explorer.
Anyone with information
about the thefts and vehicles
is asked to call Ashley police
at 822-6995.

Imsurprised at the amount of
the discrepancy. We are going to
have to have a meeting with the
department heads next week,
Leighton said Friday.
A reporter discovered the dis-
crepancies by comparing paper
logs city employees fill out each
day that list the amount of fuel
they pumped, to daily electronic
inventory reports that show how
much fuel was removed from the
diesel and gasoline tanks.
Thereviewrevealedthat10,260
gallons of gasoline and 7,620 gal-
lons of diesel that were dispensed
from the tanks are not accounted
for on the logs.
The daily discrepancies were
often significant sometimes
more than 100 gallons -- between
the amount of fuel the employees
reported they dispensed and the
amount that was actually re-
moved from the tanks.
For instance, on Dec. 15, 2011
the computer-generated invento-
ry report showed 256 gallons of
diesel was dispensed, but employ-
ees listed just 73.8 gallons on the
log sheets, a difference of 182.2
gallons. That same day the tank
reading showed 201 gallons of
gasoline was dispensed, but the
logs showed just 104.1, a 96.9-gal-
lon difference.
On April 11, both the diesel and
gasoline readings were off by
more than 100 gallons. The tank
report showed 220 gallons of gas-
oline was dispensed, but the pa-
per log accounts for just 95.3 gal-
lons, a difference of 124.7 gallons;
for diesel fuel, the tank record
shows 171 gallons gone, but the
logs show just 48.7 gallons, a dif-
ference of 122.3 gallons.
The actual amount of unac-
counted-for fuel is likely higher as
the newspaper was unable to de-
termine fuel usage for 21 days in
which fuel deliveries were made.
Records related to the fuel de-
liveries were not immediately
available. Without the records, it
is not known how much fuel was
in the tanks when fuel was added,
making it impossible to deter-
mine how much was used that
day.
The exact dollar value of the
missing fuel also could not be de-
termined because records relat-
ing to the price per gallon in the
months in question were not im-
mediately available.
Based on average cost per gal-
lon in the East Coast on the
months in question, the approxi-
mate value of the gasoline is
$33,830 and diesel is $27,790 for,
for a total of $61,620. The calcula-
tion excluded 31 cents per gallon
in taxes on gas, and 33 cents per
gallonondiesel since the city gets
fuel tax free.
Electronic controls unused
City officials were unaware any
fuel was not accounted for be-
cause no one ever reconciled the
handwritten logs with the com-
puter generated reports from the
fuel tanks.
In interviews Friday, City Ad-
ministrator Marie McCormick
and Administrative Coordinator
Drew McLaughlin also acknowl-
edged an electronic fuel control
system the city installed several
years agowouldhave providedfor
amoreaccurateaccountingof fuel
use, but the city does not use it.
McCormick and McLaughlin
said theyre confident the discre-
pancies are a matter of poor re-
cord keeping, and not an indica-
tion of theft or unauthorized use
of fuel.
I have to talk to our people at
DPW, but I dont have any reason
to believe any of
our employees
are doing any-
thing illegally,
McCormick
said. Im as-
suming they are
just not diligent
in signing the
log Thats a
problem.
Employees
are supposed to
fill out the logs,
which are kept
at the DPW
building, each
time they dispense fuel. The log
includes their name, department,
vehicle number, type of fuel and
number of gallons.
saidtheysuspect theissuemaylie
primarily withemployees who ac-
cess the pumps after the DPWga-
rage closes at 3:30 p.m.
They probably are not diligent
enough in signing the logs after
hours as they are during the day,
McLaughlin said.
McLaughlin said hes confident
theres no theft going on because
the majorityof cityemployees use
the pumps during the day, when
DPW is fully staffed. If an unau-
thorized person were to fill up,
employees there would see it.
Its very hard for the theft or
abuse of the fueling system to go
undetected given all the eyes and
ears that monitor the facility, he
said.
could not explain why the city
never reconciled the logs with
tank reports a common check
and balance procedure utilized by
other communities that have
their own fuel tanks.
I cant explain it. Obviously,
going forward, we have to change
that systemtosomehowdobetter
monitoring and make sure every-
thing jives, McCormick said.
Fuel monitored elsewhere
Officials in several other com-
munities said they make exten-
sive efforts to monitor fuel usage.
In Kingston, administrator
Paul Keating said employees fill
out handwritten logs that are rec-
onciled at least every other day
with the computerized tank re-
port. Theres rarely a discrepancy,
but if there is, its immediately in-
vestigated.
Keating said the procedure al-
lows him to ensure no fuel is mis-
sing, as well as account for the
amount of fuel used by each de-
partment for budgeting purposes.
Fuel is a highly valuable com-
modity, Keating said. We want
to have controls in place to make
sure nobody is using fuel for rea-
sons other than municipal pur-
poses If you dont inventory
your usage of fuel, you expose
yourself to theft or the improper
use.
Keating said Kingston also re-
quires employees to write down
the mileage of their vehicle when
they fuel up something Wilkes-
Barre does not require to pro-
vide anadditional level of verifica-
tion.
He noted the borough uncov-
eredfuel theft byanemployeesev-
eral years ago by comparing mile-
age reports to the number of gal-
lons he pumped. The records
showedhewas usingfar toomuch
gasoline for the number of miles
driven.
Luzerne County and Hazleton
keep track of fuel usage through
electronic fuel control systems
that track the amount pumped in-
to each vehicle.
Joe Gibbons, an engineer with
the countys Road and Bridge De-
partment, said each county vehi-
cle has a key card assigned to it.
The vehicle operator must insert
the key into the pump and enter
themileageof thevehiclebeforeit
will operate.
If someone takes out 20 gal-
lons onaSaturdayat 9:30a.m., we
know who took it out, Gibbons
said.
Inadditioneachemployee is re-
quired to fill out a log in the vehi-
cle that includes their name and
the vehicles odometer reading.
Thelogs arethencross referenced
against the pump reports to help
ensure the personwhois assigned
to the card is the person who ac-
tually pumped the fuel, Gibbons
said.
It helps us keeptrackwhichve-
hiclefuel is goinginto. Youcande-
termine by a simple mathematic
calculation if the amount of fuel
related to the odometer reading
from the last fill-up, Gibbons
said.
Hazletonutilizes a key cardsys-
tem similar to Luzerne County.
Employees have to put the key in
the pump to activate it, said ad-
ministrator Mary Ellen Lieb. It
then records the amount of gas
pumped in.
Those reports are reconciled
monthly with manual gas tank
readings takenby lowering a stick
into the tank to measure the
amount of gas, she said.
System unused in W-B
Wilkes-Barre has a similar elec-
tronic systemthat was installedin
2009, but for some reason
could not explain why has cho-
sen not to utilize it.
The city got the system at no
cost from Corey Inc. of Plains
Township, which has a mainte-
nance contract for the fuel tanks
and pumps.
Bob Chmarney, co-owner of
Corey Inc., said the company do-
nated the system, which it got
fromanother client whichwas up-
grading its system. It operates the
same as Luzerne Countys.
According to McLaughlin, the
system was installed to track gas-
oline and diesel sales the city
made to several nonprofit enti-
ties, including the Wilkes-Barre
Housing Authority and the
Wilkes-Barre Area School Dis-
trict.
The city halted the sales in
2009 after it learned it was not
permittedtosell fuel toother enti-
ties because it does not have a fuel
distribution license.
Chmarney said he was told the
city never used the system be-
cause there was an issue regard-
ing howit wouldassignemployee
numbers to those who utilize the
pumps.
There were so many people
who took fuel out, they did not
know how they were going to set
it up, Chmarney said. There
was an issue trying to get employ-
ee numbers and how they were
goingtodoit. It never cametofru-
ition.
McLaughlinsaidat thetimethe
city saw no need to continue us-
ing the systemto monitor its own
use of gas because it believed it al-
ready had adequate checks and
balances in place.
Mayor: Changes coming
Leighton said its clear, given
the size of the discrepancy be-
tween the logs and actual usage,
that the city needs to revisit its
policies. He said city officials will
meet next week to determine
what needs to be done to increase
accountability.
We thought we had a good
checks and balances system in
place.
Im confident no one is misus-
ing gas, but its something we are
going to have to look into and
hold department heads more ac-
countable.
City vehicles are seen at the Public Works Department pumps. Wilkes-Barre officials say they have no answer to the missing fuel.

Kingston Administrator Paul Keating points out the logs kept to
track fuel usage at the Kingston Public Works Department.
McCormick
McLaughlin
services coordinator for the Os-
terhout Library, said members
have been asking for the library
to lend e-books for months, and
that she refers them to the Phi-
ladelphia Public Library, which
lends e-books and allows any-
one to sign up for a library card
online.
Stefanko said borrowing an e-
book is just like borrowing the
paper and ink variety, without
the need to go to the library.
Checking out an e-book gives
the borrower access to the vol-
ume on his or her e-reader for a
set period of time say two
weeks after which the book is
automatically deleted from the
reader.
Just as with standard library
books, if someone has checked
out the volume you want, youll
need to wait your turn. The li-
brary will need to purchase an
individual copy of each e-book
it lends which can only be lent
to one cardholder at a time.
The library system will pur-
chase its e-books from content
distributors who work with pub-
lishers to make titles available,
though getting started with one
of those services is an expensive
proposition, according Miller.
Startup costs, annual subscrip-
tion fees and licenses for a few
hundred titles will likely cost
between $12,000 and $20,000,
and that money will need to
come at the expense of tradi-
tional book purchases and fund-
ing for other library programs.
Its sort of a balancing act,
Miller said. Like the old say-
ing, robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Well have to look at reducing
content in other areas or elim-
inating data bases that arent
used. Trying to secure addition-
al funding is kind of difficult
right now.
For that reason, the library
system plans to start with a
modest offering of a few
hundred books.
The idea has already seen
success locally. It was intro-
duced by the Lackawanna Coun-
ty Library System, and proved
extremely popular with pa-
trons right off the bat, said Ma-
rie Carispino, head of public
services for the Scranton Public
Library.
It was immediate, Carispino
said. We had been asked by our
patrons, when are you going to
start getting e-books, so the use
of the e-books was immediate.
Lackawanna County has been
lending audio books in digital
format since 2006, and began
lending e-books with an initial
offering of about 800 e-titles in
May 2011. The system currently
has 3,311 titles available as e-
books or digital audio books.
Luzerne County libraries have
experimented with the idea.
Several member libraries, in-
cluding the Osterhout main
branch, the Back Mountain Me-
morial Library and the Pittston
Memorial Library have pur-
chased e-readers and are lend-
ing them, preloaded with titles,
like regular books.
The Pittston Memorial Li-
brary recently purchased six
Barnes and Noble Nook e-read-
ers with funds from a gift drive.
It lends them preloaded with
about 50 New York Times be-
stsellers, library director Hogya
said.
It helps the public become
aware of what e-readers are,
Hogya said. And they want to
try them out before they pur-
chase one. We had only one
negative comment; pretty much
every person thats borrowed
one liked it. The majority said
they like the e-reader but they
still like the feel of a book in
their hands.
Librarians agreed digital book
distribution will not sound the
death knell of the local library
as a brick-and-mortar institu-
tion.
We have seen that the circu-
lation on hard covers is less, but
were still busy, Carispino said
of Lackawanna Countys foray
into digital lending. We still
have people placing holds on
the hard titles. We still place
multiple orders for the hard
copy of the bestsellers. I dont
think thats going away any time
soon.
LIBRARY
Its just really an extension of what we already do.
We lend books, and e-books are just another exten-
sion of that.
Richard Miller
Library system director
Pahler is required to keep mile-
age records detailing the
amount of their business travel,
meaningtheres nowaytodeter-
mine whether gasoline paid for
with city tax dollars is being
used for personal use.
The lack of record keeping is
among several issues that has
left city officials unable to ac-
count for 17,880 gallons of gaso-
line and diesel fuel that a Times
Leader investigation revealed
are missing fromthe citys tanks
fromDec. 1, 2011to June 22 this
year.
The newspaper documented
the shortages by comparing
handwritten logs employees fill
out that detail theamount of fuel
dispensed to computer-generat-
ed reports from the fuel tanks
that showhowmuchfuel was re-
moved each day.
Leighton on Friday acknowl-
edgedhe was remiss infailingto
fill out the logs, but insisted he
does not abuse the use of city
fuel. He typically gets gas from
thepumpsabout onceverythree
weeks, he said.
Leighton said he feels hes en-
titled to use city gasoline be-
cause hes on the job virtually
24-7, traveling to meetings and
checking out various problems
andissuesthroughout thecityat
all hours of the day.
TypicallyImneveroff duty. If
I drive to the grocery store, I
come out with five complaints.
When I go to church or a restau-
rant, people come uptome with
a complaint or something to do
with the city, he said.
He noted prior mayors have
had a city vehicle, but he opted
to use his own car because the
city is short on vehicles.
Asked why he doesnt seek
mileage reimbursement, which
would provide more account-
ability, Leighton said it would
cost thecitymoretopayhimthe
55-cent per mile mileage rate
than to provide him fuel, which
the city gets for far below retail
price because it pays no fuel tax-
es.
If youthinkImgettingaben-
efit out of this, Im a loser. I pay
for my own tires, maintenance,
oil changes, Leighton said. I
drive on average 200 to 300
miles a month. Do the math. Its
cheaper.
Leightonsaidhecouldnot ex-
plainwhy he has failedtofill out
the fuel logs, but will be to do so
in the future. Hes also plans to
meet with department heads
next week to make sure they
stress the importance that their
employees also fill out the logs.
AsforPahlersfailuretofill out

ministrator Marie McCormick
saidthat issuewill beaddressed.
Pahler was investigated in
2010afterallegationsweremade
that heusedacitybackhoetore-

city never revealedthe results of
the investigation or whether
Pahler was disciplined.
Drew McLaughlin, adminis-
trative coordinator, said Pahler
uses his pickup truck to drive
aroundthecity, checkingonem-
ployees and various work sites.
McCormick saidshe does not
know why Pahler has not filled
out the fuel logs. She acknowl-
edged there is a legitimate con-
cern that his use of city fuel be
verified.
I dont know the history of
what hes put in what vehicle,
but you are absolutely right, he

OFFICIALS
Y
ouve probably never heard of
Ronald D. Lambert, Pamela J.
Drake and Kevin Meehan. But
theyve been keeping an eye on you
genealogists out there.
Thats because they have studied not
genealogy, but genealogists. Over the
past two decades they all did surveys to
answer two questions: Who does geneal-
ogy, and why do people do genealogy?
Admittedly, their material is a bit
dated. Dr. Lambert, a professor of so-
ciology at Waterloo University in Cana-
da, did his in 1993 (before the Internet
became a factor). Drake, who studied at
California State University, Fullerton,
did hers in 2001. Dr. Meehan, of the
Department of Sociology at University
of Plymouth (United Kingdom), had his
survey under way in 2003.
Still, they did explode some myths
about genealogy and offer a prediction
or two about the future. While they
published their work separately, their
results were collected by Megan S. Smo-
lenyak in a 2003 issue of Ancestry maga-
zine.
Here are some of their findings.
While the stereotypical genealogist is
an older woman, the researchers learned
that about one-third of the genealogists
were male and only a minority was 65
or older. As Meehan put it, It seems
safe to conclude that the genealogical
community is younger than many imag-
ine, a fact he attributes to the growing
connection between genealogy and
Internet use.
What inspires people to begin doing
genealogy? The results of the various
surveys were a mixed bag. A century or
so ago, genealogy was largely something
a person did to determine qualifications
for joining a fraternal organization.
The researchers, however, found that
in modern times the death of a close
family member was often the inspira-
tion. Said Lambert, A substantial num-
ber of my respondents found themselves
confronting questions for which they
lacked answers about recently deceased
family members.
Other sparks came from school as-
signments or email queries from family
members. Meehan found that some
reported they had been interested since
childhood as a result of listening to
family stories.
What keeps genealogists going, de-
spite the dead ends and brick walls?
Drake saw genealogists caring for fu-
ture generations and leaving a legacy
for others. Lambert cited many factors,
including a personal need for creativity,
desire to educate young relatives and
keeping deceased family members alive
in spirit.
Meehan cited genealogical tourism
for inspiration as more people travel
abroad to see the places their ancestors
came from.
News Notes: The Genealogical Socie-
ty of Pennsylvania offers some publi-
cations of interest. They include county
lists of Civil War burials throughout the

onsignor John Bendik is the pastor of St. John Parish Community of Pittston.
Bendik, 70, attended West Side Central Catholic High School and graduated
fromSt. Meinrad College in Indiana with a degree in philosophy. He received
his masters in divinity from the St. Meinrad School of Theology. He has a brother,
Frank, and sisters, Dorothy, Helenanne and Maryrose. He lives in Pittston.
You recently celebrated the
45thanniversaryof your ordi-
nation in May. What did that
meanto you?It was and is the
proudest moment of my life. All
of my last 45 years have been
the proudest moments in my
life. Every moment of my blessed
life has been special.
Forty five years ago you were
ordained. What led you into
priesthood? It started within my
family. I was very blessed to have
such good parents and a loving
family. All of my siblings are gener-
ous and reach out to serve others. I
went into the seminary in1959 at St.
Meinrad with the intention of study-
ing to be a priest. Intention is different
than total commitment. I had done un-
dergraduate work in philosophy so that
gave me the opportunity to become a priest
in eight years as opposed to 10 years. As I
continued studying I became more excited
about beingapriest andit felt as if thegrace
of God was leading me to a firm commit-
ment.
Outside of studying, what were you do-
ing during those eight years in Southern
Indiana? I was a chairman for Cooperative
Actionfor CommunityDevelopment. I would
funnel out tasks with other chairmen to
seminarians andtheywouldinturnaidmein
helping the poor and tending to kids in or-
phanages. It was anopportunitytohelppeo-
ple who may not have been paid attention
to. Many times it would be individuals who
were without a family. We would bring kids
to skating rinks and other fun activities. It
really sparked my interest even further in
becoming a priest.
Your caring contributions continued
once you were ordained. Where was the
next stop? I was ordained in 1967 and was
assigned to St. Matthews in East Strouds-
burg. I was there from1967 to 1981. In 1970 I
was assignedfull timetobethecampus min-
ister at East Stroudsburg University for the
United Campus Ministry at the college. That
kept me involved in the development of sev-
eral programs while I was there. I worked
withothers inservingspecial needs kids and
was active in the Big Brother/Sister pro-
gram. We once mowed a field with kids from
the projects so they could have a field to
play ball on. There were adopt a grandpar-
ent programs in which people were as-
signed to the elderly, some in nursing
homes. I fondly remember my time at East
Stroudsburg. I feel I reached many people. I
remember the masses being packed at the
campus on Saturdays and Sundays.
Misericordia was next among your
many assignments. How was it there? I
was chaplain at the university for two years
before becoming the director of Campus
Ministry in 1984. We did many of the same

hen Camp
Achieve drew to
a close in 2010,
the counselors
had a last-day cer-
emony, giving out such awards as
best talent in the talent show, fas-
test runner or maybe even person
who kept the neatest bunk. Then
counselor Mike Loughlin from Ply-
mouth announced he wanted to
make a special presentation. Id
brought a ring down, and I kept it for
the whole week, he said. In front of
all the campers, I said I was going to
give out an award for the best coun-
selor of the year.
Instead, he asked fellowcounselor Rena Rosenblumto marry him.
I dont eventhinkshe saidyes, Loughlinsaid. She just hit me and
said, Is this for real? Everybody was going nuts, and I was a little
teary-eyed.
To the joy of the campers and staff, Rena did consent.
Close to two years later, on June 16, Rena, who is 24, and Mike, 32,
exchanged vows at the Waterfront Banquet Facility in Plains Town-
ship. They were accompanied by her parents, Jeffrey and Magnolia
Rosenblum of New Rochelle, N.Y., his
parents, William and Mary Loughlin of
Plymouth, nine bridesmaids, nine
groomsmen and plenty of traditions.
In honor of Renas Jewish heritage,
Mike broke a glass and everyone yelled
Mazel Tov!
In honor of Mikes Irish heritage, a
bagpiper played tunes. And, though Re-
na had never experienced a Babushka
Dance before, she embraced that cus-
tom, so prevalent in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania.
I danced with a lot of people, she
said afterward. It felt like everybody.
All told, guests paid about $600 for
the privilege of dancing with the bride,
and the couple donated that sum to the
Epilepsy Foundation a cause dear to
their hearts.
Camp Achieve, where the pair met
four years ago, is an annual week of ac-
tivities in the Lansdale area designed for
youths who face the challenge of epilep-
tic seizures.
They go swimming, rock climbing and stay in a bunk. You can still
be a normal kid, said Mike, who started having seizures himself
about 10 years ago as a result of the viral encephalitis he contracted
when he was bitten by mosquitoes while working outdoors.
At least one of them (the mosquitoes) carried the disease, Rena
said. His brain swelled, and he was rushed down to Philly for treat-

programs that I was involved with at
East Stroudsburg. However, therewas
one that was very unique. We had a
program called Luv-a-nun. Kids were
assigned to retired nuns and both the
women and the students looked for-
ward to each others company. It was
time well spent by all involved.
You spent a decade in Clarks
Summit at Our Lady of Snows par-
ish. What were some of your key
achievements or memories while
you were there? I was involved with
the development of religious educa-
tion there and later, when the congre-
gation grew, I helped create a new
Church of St. Benedict on Newton
Ransom Boulevard.
Your final stop is where you cur-
rently call home. What have been
some fondmemories, achievements
and proud moments while you have
gracedthecityof Pittstonwithyour
charitable contributions and hard
work? There are four unique parish-
es that we combined back in2006; St.
John the Baptist, St. Casimirs, St. Jo-
sephs, and St. John the Evangelist. It
has been a privilege serving as pastor
to this congregation through the
years. In 2007 Seton Catholic High
School closed its doors but a new op-
portunity opened up for the under-
privileged the years to follow. In No-
vember of 2007 we opened a health
clinic wherepeoplewithout insurance
could get the care they need. We have
helped over 2,500 people with med-
ical issues, including 187 children in
our pediatric department, get the at-
tention they so desperately need. We
have doctors, social workers, dentists
and many volunteers and workers
that make our efforts successful with
over 5,500office visits to our medical
facilities at the building.
What are some things outside of
your work that you enjoy participa-
ting in? I was an avid racquetball
player for over 40 years before some
medical issues of my own. I enjoy time
with family and friends very much.
Where do you like to go when with
friends or family? I really enjoy the
shorewithfriends andI usedtogotoa
cabin in Michigan. Locally I like to go
with friends to the restaurant Agoli-
nos.
What is your favorite music? I
enjoy classical music and Johnny
Mathis and the 50s genre.
What type of books do you enjoy?
I really like any historical novels.
Do you have a favorite quote or
saying you live by? Be what you is,
because if you be what you aint, than
you aint what you is.

ment. They said he could either
die, or he could live and have sei-
zures, or he couldbe a vegetable.
He really made an amazing re-
covery.
I hadto learnhowto readand
write and walk and talk again,
said Loughlin, who had been
working toward a masters de-
gree in civil engineering from
Penn State University when he
got sick. I went fromcalculus to
reading The Big Brown Bear. I
went to a lot of therapy.
In retrospect, Mike said, he
does not regret the ordeal.
If I never got sick, he said. I
probably never would have met
Rena.
She hadnt known too much
about epilepsy before she ran-
domly volunteered at the camp.
The first time I sawa seizure,
I got emotional about it, she
said. They give you training
two days before the kids arrive,
so were prepared. That helps.
I actually saw kids have sei-
zures before I ever saw Mike
have a seizure. I didnt really
know what his seizures looked
like. It was more intense than I
thought it wouldbe. I was scared
at first, but I got used to it. I kind
of talked myself through it.
Safety is definitely impor-
tant, she said. Say he has a sei-
zure and falls down. I hold his
head or put something under his
head to cushion it. Ill loosen any
tight clothing or take off his sun-
glasses.
You dont hold them down.
Youkindof let themhave the sei-
zure, said the bride, who has a
good idea of what in sickness
and in health can mean.
But seizures are only one as-
pect of the couples life.
They love to dance, as they
proved at their weddings with
everything from polkas to La
Bamba to Footloose to (Ive
Had) The Time of My Life.
Theyalsolovethebeach, Rena
said a fewdays before the couple
departed for a honeymoon in
Aruba. Were both like fish.
Well stay in water forever.
Their work is important, too.
Hes a therapeutic staff support
worker at Childrens Service Cen-
ter, andshes anaccounts payable
clerk at a title insurance compa-
ny, also working on a masters de-
gree in community counseling at
the University of Scranton.
And, they have a plan for their
life together.
Loving him has become part
of who I am, said Rena, describ-
ing the personal vow she wrote
for her husband. I promised
him as his wife to honor, respect
and love him, and as his best
friend I will show him and tell
him how much I love him every
day.

e came in preaching patience,
which only seemed natural for
Ottis Anderson.
Because as an NFL player, he had to
wait a long time for what he wanted.
What Misericordia University wants
is instant success as it starts up a foot-
ball program, an idea not lost on An-
derson.
Nowadays, everybody wants instant
gratification, said Anderson, who
served as the keynote speaker Friday
during Misericordias inaugural football
season kickoff party at the Mohegan
Sun Casino. Instant gratifications not
really lasting.
The lasting memory of Anderson is
him bolting out of the New York Giants
backfield and running over Buffalos
Mark Kelso, on his way to winning the
MVP of Super Bowl XXV.
But it seemed as if it took forever for
Anderson to get there.
The powerful and explosive running
back burst on the NFL scene in 1979,
when Anderson came out of the Uni-
versity of Miami as the eighth overall
draft pick of the St. Louis Cardinals
and rushed for 193 yards in his first
game.
He went on to win the NFLs rookie
of the year award.
But his Cardinals team didnt win
much at all during his first seven sea-
sons. Despite Andersons perennial
1,000-yard rushing seasons, St. Louis
managed just one playoff appearance
during his time there when the play-
off field was expanded during the
strike-shortened 1982 season.
I was up here, Anderson said, rais-
ing his hand and then lowering it.
They were down here.
By the time the Giants traded for
him in the middle of the 1986 season,
injuries and were wearing Anderson
down.
And he had to drop some of those
lofty expectations that made Anderson
one of just 26 players in NFL history to
run for over 10,000 yards.
Adjusting expectations
He ran more sparingly with the Gi-
ants, mainly as a short-yardage and
goal-line back behind New Yorks fea-
tured ballcarrier Joe Morris.
When you want to win, youve got
to put your ego aside and check it at
the door, said Anderson, who played
14 NFL seasons. They had Joe Morris.
All I wanted to do was blend in and not
disrupt what was going on.
In attempting that, Anderson be-
came a standout again.
He got the ball just seven times and
gained only six yards in the 1986 play-
offs, but did score a touchdown in New
Yorks lopsided Super Bowl XXI victory
over the Denver Broncos.
By 1989, he was back to the old form
of his St. Louis days, becoming the top
running back in New Yorks ball-control
offense. He scored a career-high 14
touchdowns that season, rushed for
1,023 yards and earned the NFLs
Comeback Player of the Year award.
He never slowed down through the
postseason, steam-rolling Bills safety
Kelso with a shivering uppercut while
delivering one of the most vicious hits
in Super Bowl history.
I remember what my intentions
were, Anderson said. He had that
double-layer helmet and I was trying to
take a layer off that helmet. Footballs a
lot about intimidation. It worked out

is headed to the Baltimore Orioles,
whose struggling offense is in dire need
of some punch.
Thome was traded from the Philadel-
phia Phillies on Saturday for two
young minor leaguers right-
hander Kyle Simon and catcher
Gabriel Lino.
The 41-year-old Thome is a
five-time All-Star. His 609

Even in June, the same calls
would come from the Wyoming
Valley West dugout.
Pitching in the state tourna-
ment at the end of the season,
Tommy Alexanders strikeouts
would often be punctuated with
yells of Dallas game! Remember
the Dallas game!
That would
be the Wyoming
Valley Confer-
ence opener
back at the end
of March. Alex-
ander set the
tone for an MVP season with his
first start of the year, recording16
strikeouts in six-plus innings.
He was unhittable, Spartans
coach John Milius said.
Nearly three months later,
Alexanders momentum hadnt
slowed down. The Times Lead-
ers 2012 WVC Baseball Player of
the Year wonall three postseason
games he started in helping the
Spartans win a district title and
reach the PIAA quarterfinals.
This team has meant every-
thing. It really does feel great,
Alexander said after picking up
the win on the mound in the Dis-
trict 2-4 championship. Out of
anyone, I think our guys want it
the most. And that just pushes
you to be better.
Bound for Old Dominion for
his college career, Alexander was
the leagues most dominant
pitcher ina year withno shortage
of impressive pitching in the ar-
ea.
Alexander won all eight starts
he made during league play,
striking out 73 in 47
2
3 innings.
The right-hander surrendered
just 19 hits and six runs four
earned for an ERA of 0.59, best
in the WVC. His wins and strike-
outs also led the league.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. Paige
Selenski received the pass just
outside the circle, immediately
turning into her defender and beat-
ing her to the goal.
At full speed in front of the Ar-
gentine cage last weekend, she
unleashed a reverse stick blast that
tied a nationally-televised friendly
between the United States Olympic
Team and the worlds second-
ranked powerhouse.
It was the kind of play fans would
expect from a veteran of interna-
tional play.
Thing is, Selenski is a newbie
being named to the team two
weeks ago based on her play in the
national championships.
The quickness she showed
against Argentina is why.
Shes got skill at full speed and
thats hard to find, especially with
her kind of speed, said head coach
Lee Bodimeade after Team USA
completed a four-game warm-up
series with Argentina. Her 13
months with the national team is
paying off very nicely. When she
takes advantage of her skillful
speed, she puts us in a really good
spot.
Were looking for some really
big things from her in London.
The Shavertown product enjoys
hearing her coachs praises. As a
first-time Olympian, shes hoping to
make a big impression in London,

race. The Jim Campbell trained trotter just missed in his last start
here at Pocono Downs, back on June 13, losing by a tough neck after
setting all the fractions. But just last week at Harrahs Philadelphia,
Opening Night put it all together, wiring the field and winning by
open lengths in a solid1:52.3. Hes a sharp race horse right nowand is

MI NORL EAGUES
This Howard guy looks pretty
good.
At the top of the Lakewood
BlueClaws batting stats sits
Ryan Howard, former NL MVP.
In two games on a rehab stint
with the Class A club, hes got
three singles and three RBI. His
.500 batting average is tops on
the team, though of course, his
comes in limited at-bats.
Howard has always made
good use of his minor-league
rehab assignments at Lakewood.
Combining this week with prior
stints in 2007 and 2010, the first
baseman is batting .429 (6-
for-14) with a home run, two
doubles and eight RBI.
In 2005 at Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre, the slugger had 16 home-
rs, 54 RBI and 19 doubles in 61
games, batting .371.
Considering his .275 career
average, 286 home runs and 864
RBI in 1,027 major league
games, Howard crushing the
ball should be expected and a
welcome sight for Phillies fans.
Here are Philadelphias top 10
prospects according to
MLB.com and how they are
faring in 2012.

(Double-A): A fourth-round pick

Howard has strong
cameo in minors
The Times Leader staff
While the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees have been consis-
tently on the road this season,
thanks to renovations to PNC
Field, the squad has been strea-
ky getting into the heart of its
schedule.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre posted
losing streaks of four games
entering June (which was pre-
ceded by a four-game winning
streak) and six during a stretch
of games in Louisville and Indi-
anapolis two weeks ago.
But when the team isnt on a
losing streak, its on a winning
streak. The Yankees won five
straight early in June on a south-
ern swing at Norfolk and Dur-
ham. They had a four-game
winning streak entering play
Saturday night at Rochester.
In all, the Yankees (45-37)
have six stretches of winning at
least four straight a big reason
why the road warriors have the
fifth-best record in the league
through Friday night.
Here are the New York Yan-
kees top-10 prospects according
to MLB.com.
1. Manny Banuelos, LHP,
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Triple-
A): The left-hander, currently on
the disabled list, is 0-2 with a
4.50 ERA in six starts for Yan-
kees with 22 Ks in 24 innings.
2. Dellin Betances, RHP,
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Triple-
A): The 6-foot-8, 260-pounder
continues to have command
issues. In his start last week, he
gave up seven runs in three
innings, walking four and allow-
ing five hits.
On the season, hes 3-5 with a
6.39 ERA, 71 strikeouts and 69
walks in 74
2
3 innings.
3. Gary Sanchez, catcher,
Charleston (A): The 19-year-old
had five runs and five RBI in his
last five games to continue his
strong play. For the season, his
average is at .304 with 13 home-
rs, 56 RBI, 19 doubles and 11
stolen bases in 14 tries.
4. Mason Williams, outfielder,
Charleston (A): His nin-game
hit streak ended Friday. He hit
.389 (14-for-36) during the run,
including homering in three
straight games. His average has
risen to .303 on the season to go
with eight home runs, 27 RBI,
19 doubles and 19 steals.
5. Jose Campos, RHP, Char-
leston (A): A19-year-old ac-
quired from Seattle in the offsea-
son was off to a good start, but
is currently on the DL with
elbow inflammation. Hes cur-
rently 3-0 with a 4.01 ERA and
26 strikeouts in 24
2
3 innings.
6. Slade Heathcott, outfielder,
Tampa (A): The 2009 first-round
draft pick has finally got back on
the field after shoulder issues,
and needed just a week to move
up from the Gulf Coast League.
Hes played in six games so far
with Tampa and has gone 7-
for-22 with two home runs, six
RBI, two doubles and five runs.
7. Austin Romine, catcher,
TBA: The 23-year-old an-
nounced on Twitter two weeks
ago that he was cleared for
baseball activities. Hes on the
DL with an inflamed disc in his
back and is expected back soon.
8. Dante Bichette Jr., third
base, Charleston (A): Son of a
former Major League all-star
and MVP of the Gulf Coast
League last season, Bichette
was New Yorks first pick in 2011
(51st overall). Hes batting .265
on the season with one home
run and 28 RBI. His seven-game
hit streak, where he was 10-
for-37 (.370) ended Thursday
9. Cito Culver, shortstop,
Charleston (A): A first-round
pick in 2010 (32 overall), the
19-year-old switch-hitter got a
couple of days off after a four-
strikeout performance at Green-
ville this week. He is batting
.209 with a pair of homers, 25
RBI, 13 steals and 38 runs.
10. Adam Warren, RHP, New
York (MLB): Injuries to CC
Sabathia and Andy Pettitte
prompted Warrens call-up. His
debut start on Friday wasnt one
hell savor, though. The White
Sox knocked him out with six
runs in 2
1
3 innings.

appearances spanning
three affiliates.
D I S T R I C T 2 S P R E S E N C E I N P R O F E S S I O N A L B A S E B A L L
In his sixth year of playing mi-
nor league baseball, Kyle Landis
believed he is living the dream.
Its just a great feeling to get
to go to the park everyday and
get paid to play baseball for a
job, the Hazleton Area gradu-
ate said. Its a grind. The sea-
sons are long and everything.
You just hope for the stars to
align so you can move up and
get toanother level. But sofar so
good; Ive been performing well
and staying healthy so thats the
most important thing.
Landis, a right-handed relief
pitcher for the Akron Aeros, the
Double-A affiliate of the Cleve-
land Indians, is in the midst of
one his best seasons as a profes-
sional since being drafted by the
Indians in the 18th round in
2007.
The26-year-oldhas pitchedin
the most games (23) and in-
nings (37
1
3) of all Aeros reliev-
ers while leading the bullpen in
earned run average with a mark
of 2.41. That was good enough
to earn him a spot on the East-
ern Leagues West Division all-
star team on Thursday.
Landis put up good numbers
immediately after being drafted
out of the University of Pitts-
burgh when he started his pro
career for Mahoning Valley of
the New York-Penn League and
only gave up one earned run in
27
1
3 innings to start off. The
next two seasons, he began on
fire and didnt have problems
until moving up a level later on
in each of the campaigns.
Then in 2010, he was side-
linedfor the entire seasonwitha
rare nerve traction injury in the
upper part of his throwing arm.
He didnt knowif he would ever
pitchagain. But he learneda val-
uable lesson.
It changed my mindset a lit-
tle bit. I was a little more thank-
ful everyday to come to the ball-
park because when I got hurt it
was scary, he said about the in-
jury. Just the fact that Im play-
ing baseball for a living made
me want togoout there andcon-
centrate everyday andget better
everyday and really just not take
anything for granted.
He recovered great from the
setback and has remained on
top of his game since then even-
tually earning a call-up to Tri-
ple-A Columbus in April.
Like his previous stints at
higher levels, he struggled in
one appearance for the Clippers
allowing two runs and two hits
in one game that consisted of
three innings against the Toledo
Mud Hens. The brief appear-
ance was a learning experience
for Landis.
I threw really well, got some
really good feedback from the
same uniform on again.
Landis has always been in the
Indians organization as a pro.
Canzler, who was drafted two
years before his classmate out of
high school, was originally in
the Cubs organization before
signing a one-year deal with
Tampa Bay in 2011, then being
traded to Cleveland.
I knew he signed a one-year
deal withthe Rays andI was just
thinking man that would be a
great fit (for Cleveland), Lan-
dis said. When I found out that
he actually got traded to the In-
dians, it was kind of surreal. I
was like, No way that cant be
right. Ive been thinking about
that that cant be right.
Soon enough it might be
more unreal if the two are re-
united again for the long haul at
Triple-A or even the Major
Leagues.
coaches and it was just a great
experience for me toknowthat I
can handle the Triple-A level,
Landis noted. My stuff is good
enough to pitch there. It was a
good confidence-booster for
me.
Being in Columbus also re-
united the pitcher with lifelong
friend Russ Canzler. The two
played together for Valley East
Little League and were team-
mates for HazletonArea for four
years before graduating togeth-
er in 2005.
Landis and Canzler spent
time chatting throughout bat-
ting practice reminiscing and
catching up.
That game was really neat,
Landis said. To be in the same
uniformagain, I dont knowhow
many times we said it during
that day, but it was just like, Oh
man, this is so cool to have the

LIEGE, Belgium Fabian
Cancellara gave some joy to his
troubled RadioShack Nissan
team as the 99th Tour de France
began on Saturday, winning his
fifth opening-day prologue at cy-
clings premier race in the same
Belgian city where he edged
Lance Armstrong eight years
ago.
The 31-year-old Swiss rider
proved hes positively dominant
in time trials over the 4-mile race
against the clock in Liege. This
time, Cancellara outclassed an-
other Tour title favorite: Bradley
Wiggins, aiming to become the
first Briton to win the Tour, was 7
seconds behind in second.
Cadel Evans embarked on his
title defense in solid form, finish-
ing 13th but importantly, 10
seconds back of Wiggins, who
many see as the main threat to
the Australians hopes of a repeat.
Cancellara is unquestionably the
worlds best time-trial rider, but
isnt consideredaTour contender
because he often struggles in the
mountains.
What a great opening
again! Cancellara said. I did the
most I could. Its not always easy.
I always do the maximum... Its a
great feeling and this certainly
takes some of the pressure off.
The Tour start offered a wel-
come return to racing three
weeks and 2,168 miles criss-
crossing France, nosing into
Switzerland, and scaling climbs
in the Alps and Pyrenees before
the July 22 finish on Paris
Champs-Elysees. Two other indi-
vidual time-trials await.
RadioShack, built on the re-
mains of teams that Armstrong
led to a record seven Tour victo-
ries, has faced a rough patch.
Its current leader, Andy
Schleck, is staying home to nurse
a spinal injury he sustained in a
crash in the Criterium du Dau-
phine this month; team manager
Johan Bruyneel Armstrongs
longtime mentor is staying
away to avoid being a distraction
to the team and the race over a
U.S. anti-doping case targeting
him, Armstrong and four others.
In a further embarrassment,
Enrico Carpani, a spokesman for
cycling governing body UCI, said
it received information from sev-
eral RadioShack riders that
theyd faced delays in receiving
some salary payments. Team
spokesman Philippe Maertens
said he believed they had been
paid, and if not, there is a reason
for it. He called it a private is-
sue.
Brushing aside the teams is-
sues, Cancellara said he was fo-
cusing on what I have to do
and thats riding my bike. He
said the victory, which he dedi-
cated to his pregnant wife, was
doubly rewarding because he
broke his collarbone in the Tour
of Flanders in April and wasnt
sure hed be at his best for the
Tour prologue.
Cancellara has now earned the
leaders yellow jersey for 22 days
in his career, equaling the marks
of other Tour greats, including
two-time winner Laurent Fignon
of France, American triple cham-
pion Greg Lemond and Dutch-
man Joop Zoetemelk. All of Can-
cellaras prologue victories have
been outside France: He beat
Armstrong by two seconds in
Liege in 2004, and also won in
Londonin2007, Monacoin2009,
and Rotterdam in 2010.
Wiggins, a three-time Olympic
champion, said he believed going
into the prologue that there was
a man who could beat me: There
is always Fabian, he is the best in
the world when it comes to time
trials.
I finished second, so thats a
good thing, added Wiggins.
PhysicallyI felt fantastic. I didnt
take any major risk because there
were a lot of tricky sections.
Evans, too, said hed expected
to be outclassed in the prologue,
and put his ride into a broader
perspective.
Not good, but not bad, the
Australian said. Of course Id
rather concede less seconds, you
never want to lose time ... Ive got
one (general classification) rider
ahead of me, but I was kind of
half-expecting that. Wiggins,
what his background is, is these
short efforts.
For me the real racing starts
tomorrow, Evans added. Im
just happy to get it going, and
looking forward to some good
racing. ... Its like 6kilometers out
of 3,500or so, sointhat regardits
a small comparison.
As defending champion, Evans
had the honor of riding last
among the 198 competitors who
rolleddownthe starters rampfor
the race in the cycling-crazed
city, where untold thousands of
fans lined the route.

WIMBLEDON, England
Absolutely perfect 24 points
played, 24 points won.
Cant be any better than wild-
cardentry Yaroslava Shvedova of
Kazahstan was at the beginning
of her third-roundmatchat Wim-
bledon on Saturday, winning ev-
ery single point in the 15-minute
first set of what became a 6-0, 6-4
victory over French Open run-
ner-up Sara Errani of Italy. Its
the only golden set for a wom-
an in the 44 years of professional
tennis.
Of all the ways a point can be
lost a double-fault, for exam-
ple, or an opponents ace; one
ball that floats ahalf-inchwideor
long or catches the tape of the
net, say, or even a lucky shot off
the other players racket that
somehow finds a line, etc., etc.
none happened during Shve-
dovas 15 minutes of fame.
Apparently, its the biggest
news of the day: I lost a set with-
out winning a point. Unbelieva-
ble, the10th-seededErrani said.
She was impossible to play
against. I dont even feel like I
played terribly. She just was hit-
ting winners from every part of
the court.
The 65th-ranked Shvedova
didnt evenrealize what was hap-
pening.
Not until she was in the gym
afterward, cooling down, when
her coach pointed out the ac-
complishment.
I had no idea. I was just play-
ing every point and every game,
saidShvedova, a24-year-oldwho
won two Grand Slam doubles ti-
tles in 2010 with Vania King of
the U.S.
Shvedova did notice the way
spectators at Court 3 applauded
and yelled after Errani stopped
the streak by taking the opening
point of the second set.
I was, like, Whats going on?
Shvedova said.
Now things figure to get a tad
tougher. In the fourth round
Monday, shell face Serena Wil-
liams, whose 13 Grand Slam ti-
tles include four at the All En-
gland Club.
Hopefully Ill be able to win a
point in the set, Williams said,
somehow keeping a straight
face.
That will be my first goal, and
then Ill go from there.
She actually came rather close
to exiting Saturday, needing ev-
ery one of her tournament-re-
cord 23 aces to come back and
edge 25th-seeded Zheng Jie of
China 6-7 (5), 6-2, 9-7. Williams
won all 18 of her service games
andsavedall sixbreakpoints she
faced.
Three times, while down 5-4,
6-5 and 7-6 in the final set, she
served to stay in the match
and the tournament.
Eachtime, she wonthe pivotal
game at love.
Its goodtoknowthat I canre-
ly on that, said the sixth-seeded
Williams, who also held the pre-
vious Wimbledon womens mark
of 20 aces.
I definitely felt like it was a
gut check, she said. Ive always
been really strong mentally.
Thats not going anywhere.
The 5-foot-4
1
2 Zheng watched
one second-serve ace kick so
high that it bounced over her
head. Otherwise, though, she
stood tall against the 5-9 Wil-
liams, zipping flat ground-
strokes that barely cleared the
net.
With the Americans older sis-
ter, five-time Wimbledon cham-
pion Venus, sitting in the front
row right above the scoreboard,
and Oscar-winning actor Dustin
Hoffman (Major fan of his. ... I
was honored to have him in my
box, she said) there in support,
too, Williams broke for an 8-7
lead in the last set by smacking a
big return that left an off-balance
Zheng hitting a wild forehand
long.
After a couple hiccups while
trying to serve it out, including a
double-fault and two wasted
match points, Williams ended
thenearly2
1
2-hour contest witha
102 mph service winner, fol-
lowed by a stretch backhand vol-
ley winner. She celebratedwitha
huge leap.
I just wanted to get through
that match, said Williams, who
was upset inthefirst roundat the
French Open in late May and
hasnt won a Grand Slam title in
twoyears. The last thingI want-
ed to do was lose.
Her buddy and possible Lon-
don Olympics mixed doubles
partner, Andy Roddick, did lose.
The 29-year-old American, three
times the runner-up to Roger Fe-
derer at the All England Club,
blew a kiss to the Centre Crowd
as he walked off after being bea-
ten 2-6, 7-6 (8), 6-4, 6-3 by No. 7-
seeded David Ferrer, but said he
hasnt made up his mind about
his future in the sport.
If I dont have a definitive an-
swer in my own mind, its going
to be tough for me to articulate a
definitive answer to you, the
30th-seeded Roddick said.

AT A G L A N C E
career are 25th all-time.
Thome will move right into
the designated hitter role with
the Orioles, whohave beena sur-
prising contender in the AL
East. Out for much of the season
with a lower back strain, Thome
didnt figure to see much time in
the field for the slumping Phil-
lies. He also had struggled as a
pinch hitter.
Theres a part of me thats
happy to go and get a chance to
play a little bit. Baltimore is hav-
ing a nice year and it will be ex-
citing to go over there and try to
help those guys win and get
some at-bats. Im excited about
that, for sure, Thome said.
Theres always emotions
when youre traded because you
have so much respect for the
Phillies organization, he said.
In 30 games for the Phillies
this season, Thome hit .242 with
five home runs and 15 RBIs. He
missed more than a month with
the back problem and the Phil-
lies didnt want to risk having
him get hurt again.
I think the disappointing
thing for me is that I wasnt able
to play as much first base as I
thought, he said.
As a DH, Thome can purely fo-
cus on hitting.
Wefelt Thomes presenceand
our need on the major league
team were worth the value we
have to give up in a trade, said
Dan Duquette, the Orioles exec-
utive vice president of baseball
operations. We like both the
young players. Theyre both in A
ball. We needed some help to
bolster our lineup.
Thome appears to be the per-
fect fit.
Jim Thomes a real pro, and
he specializes in hitting home
runs and getting on base, Du-
quette said. Hes done that con-
sistently his whole career. Be-
yond that, hes a terrific team-
mate and a steady presence. Hes
a veteran, hes been around the
league. Hes been in the pennant
race andhes beeninthe playoffs.
We like all those things that he
brings to our team.
I think he gives us a little bit
more depth to our lineup with
the injuries weve had, the left-
handed hitters in our lineup. I
think his presence in the lineup
will make the opposing pitchers
work harder. Because he gets on
base and hits home runs and can
hit the ball out of any part of this
ballpark, we think hell be an as-
set to the team.
The Orioles got a good look at
Thome earlier this month when
he went 6for13withfour RBIs in
a three-game series at Camden
Yards. He also got his first home
run and RBI of the year that
weekend.
Thome has done quite well in
Baltimore over the years. In 67
career games at Camden Yards,
hes hit 18 home runs one ev-
ery 13.6 at-bats with 45 RBIs.
Of the 65 homers to land on dis-
tant Eutaw Street in two dec-
ades, Thome has launched two
of them.
I think everybody in baseball
has been a fan of Jim, the way he
carries himself and conducts
himself, Orioles manager Buck
Showalter said The most im-
portant thing is, this is a guy that
can help us with some things be-
tween the lines and outside the
lines. If you have an opportunity
to add him to the mix, you al-
ways want to try to do it.
Phillies manager Charlie Man-
uel toldhimabout the trade after
a 3-2 loss at Miami in which
Thome didnt play. At the time,
the Orioles were still playing in
an 11-5 loss to Cleveland.
I think its going to give Jima
chance to get more at-bats. And
at the end of this year it will give
hima chance to see where hes at
and what he wants to do, Manu-
el said. Yes, its difficult for me
to see him go. But at the same
time, you look at it from the as-
pect of what he can do. If he sits
here on the bench, its hard for
him to keep his timing, he said.

TOMMY ALEXANDER
Wyoming Valley West
Senior pitcher/infielder
The only repeat all-star from last year, The
Times Leaders 2012 WVC Baseball MVP
proved why hell be pitching at the Division I
level in college at Old Dominion. The impres-
sive right-hander led the entire league in
several categories, including ERA (0.59),
strikeouts (73) and wins, going 8-0 in the
regular season. He was consistent from start
to finish, striking out 16 in the opener
against Dallas and then winning all three
postseason games he started, including the
District 2 title game and the opening round
at states. When the playoffs were over, he
had topped 100 strikeouts on the season.
CURT BARBACCI
Lake-Lehman
Senior infielder
With the Black Knights replacing a very
successful senior class that won a district
title a season ago, Barbacci helped pick up
for where the team left off. His .472 average
was second in Division II and the WVC as a
whole in his second full season as a starter.
A shortstop at the start of the year, Barbac-
ci made the transition to third base after a
few weeks as the lineup shuffled around.
What didnt change was his production in
the middle of Lehmans lineup.
ZACH KOLLAR
Hanover Area
Junior infielder
It would have been easy to peg Hanover
Area as being one year away at the start of
the season, especially with so many under-
classmen playing in each game. But Kollars
name was a constant at the top of the
lineup, and he got the Hawkeyes off and
running more often than not. Kollar set the
table for a young but talented group of
hitters, finishing third in the WVC with a .467
batting average. His return is one of the
biggest reasons the Hawks will be a favorite
in the district title hunt in 2013.
T.J. LASHOCK
Berwick
Junior infielder
A fixture in the Bulldogs lineup since his
freshman year, Lashock was a prominent
reason for Berwicks resurgence in 2012. The
Dawgs once again had strong pitching led
by starters Kyle Miller and Clay DeNoia, but
the bats began to catch up this season with
Lashock leading the way. In a season that
favored pitchers with the switch to the new
BBCOR-approved bats, Lashock was one of
just a handful of Division I hitters to top
.400 in league play while also leading the
team in RBI and extra-base hits.
MICKEY FERRENCE
Hanover Area
Junior pitcher/infielder
Sporting a very young lineup, the Hawkeyes
took their lead from their ace on the mound,
the guy they call Mickey. Praised by his
coaches for his work ethic, Ferrence was a
big reason as any for Hanover Areas
surprising undefeated run in the regular
season, going 6-0 with an ERA of 1.20. His 53
strikeouts led Division II as he allowed just
seven earned runs in 41 innings during
league play and walked only nine. Not to be
forgotten are his .429 average at the plate
as well as a team-leading 14 RBI and two
homers.
MATT BARLETTA
Hazleton Area
Senior outfielder
The Cougars got excellent pitching from
starters Anthony Zaloga and Erik Johnson
throughout the season, and they received
plenty of support at the plate from Barletta.
Though the Cougars ran into some cold
streaks on offense, Barletta always seemed
to come up with the timely hits. He led all of
Division I with 19 RBI and topped Hazleton
Area in batting average (.362), hits, doubles
and extra-base hits. Barletta was part of a
strong senior class that rallied to win the
Division I East title in the final week.
CHRISTIAN CHOMAN
Holy Redeemer
Senior infielder/pitcher
The Iona recruit began to heat up as the
regular season wound down and carried
that momentum into the playoffs. Choman
and a large group of Redeemer seniors won
the programs first district title and ad-
vanced to the state quarterfinals for a
memorable final campaign. Choman helped
ensure a lengthy run with a game-winning
two-run homer in the first round of districts
and reached base in all five plate appear-
ances in the championship.
SKYLER DiPASQUALE
Northwest
Senior infielder/pitcher
No one in the WVC could match the eye-
popping stats of DiPasquale, who terrorized
Division II pitchers throughout the season.
His batting average finished north of .600,
which was 150 points better than anyone
else in the league. His 22 hits, 19 RBI, eight
doubles and three homers were all best in
the division, adding three triples for good
measure as the Rangers began their re-
surgence. The senior also made six starts
(one postseason) on the mound, drawing
many of the toughest matchups.
MATT ZIELEN
Wyoming Valley West
Senior pitcher/outfielder
Not to be overshadowed, Zielens perform-
ance gave the Spartans the WVCs best
one-two punch on the mound. The senior
southpaw went 5-0 with 33 strikeouts during
the regular season, highlighted by a no-
hitter, joining Coughlins Josh Featherman in
pulling off the feat in seven innings this
season. Effective as both a starter and a
reliever, Zielen also had a knack for the big
hit at the plate, leading Valley West in RBIs
in league play. His bat heated up in the
postseason, with a team-best .600 average.
JOE PECHULIS
Wyoming Valley West
Junior infielder
A starter since his freshman year, Pechulis
developed into one of Division Is top hitters
this past season. Batting third throughout
the campaign, Pechulis was second on the
team with a batting average near .400 while
leading the Spartans in doubles and total
hits. The third baseman flashed his power in
postseason, hitting a deep home run in the
district semifinals. Pechulis drove in a
team-best five runs in four playoff games
when the opposition wasnt putting him
aboard with an intentional walk.
JOE PARSNIK
Coughlin
Senior infielder
The Crusaders had expected to be stronger
at the plate than on the mound in 2012, but
the roles were reversed for much of the
season. That didnt change things for
Parsnik, a top athlete who led Coughlin at
the plate while being solid in the field and
on the basepaths. His .444 average during
league play was even more impressive when
considering that he maintained it through a
WVC-high 54 at-bats. Parsnik went 4-for-7 in
the postseason as well as the Crusaders
again reached the district semifinals.
MIKE LEONARD
Wyoming Valley West
Junior infielder
Entering the season, the Spartans werent
entirely sure how their lineup would come
together at the plate and defensively.
Leonard helped ease concerns in both areas
while manning second base and developing
into one of the leagues most consistent
hitters. Hovering around the top of the
league leaders in hitting all season long,
Leonard finished an impressive .444 at the
plate to lead the team. That didnt stop in
the postseason, as the junior hit .500 over
four playoff games, breaking one open with
a three-run double.
TYLER McGOVERN
Lake-Lehman
Senior pitcher/outfielder
After starting and winning the district title
game a year ago, McGovern settled in as the
Black Knights ace as a senior while also
serving as one of the teams most reliable
bats. McGovern sported a 1.18 ERA that was
tops among No. 1 starters in Division II and
his 51 strikeouts were second in the division.
His contributions at the plate were just as
important, finishing second on the team in
hitting at .422 while leading the Knights with
15 RBI in 12 games.
PAUL NARCUM
Dallas
Senior catcher
The Mountaineers not only had to deal with
the graduation of some key players, but
early injuries and attrition to the lineup had
them looking for veterans to step up. They
got just that from Narcum, whose consis-
tency at the plate and behind it, making a
formidable battery with ace Brian Stepniak
kept Dallas competitive in a tough season.
His .450 average earned him the Division I
batting crown in a year where hitters had to
adjust to the new bats.
2012 TIMES LEADER WVC BASEBALL ALL-STARS
All stats are for the regular season, unless noted
states, Alexander went 3-0,
striking out 30 with a1.40 ERA.
In his final mound appear-
ance of the season, Alexander
struck out the side in the sev-
enth inning against Penn Ma-
nor inthestatetournament, fin-
ishing off a complete-game vic-
tory by topping 100 strikeouts
on the year.
That postseason success
helped shake hard-to-swallow
exits in the first round of dis-
tricts in his junior and sopho-
more seasons.
Last year, Alexander started
the playoff opener against Wal-
lenpaupack, pitching seven in-
nings of shutout ball before
leaving with a no decision. The
Spartans ended up losing in
eight innings.
Up next is college ball for Old
Dominion, a program that has
recently produced Major
League pitching star Justin Ver-
lander, as well as another big-
league starting pitcher in Da-
niel Hudson.
He leaves behind a memora-
ble career at Wyoming Valley
West, capping it off with anoth-
er district title for the program.
This team, wed been play-
ing ball together since we were
really young, Alexander said.
To do this as a senior, its
great.
FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

where Team USA will open Ju-
ly 29 against Germany in ar-
guably the toughest pool.
Selenski, 24, had a few ad-
vantages during her journey to
the sports highest level.
She competed for the Dallas
High School track and field
team, running the 100 and 200
meter sprints.
Thats where I get my
speed, Selenski said with a
smile. That, and I think a
unique style, are the biggest
things I bring to the game.
Selenski also had the advan-
tage of playing her formative
years in Pennsylvania un-
doubtedly the biggest high
school field hockey state in the
country. Of the 18 members of
Team USA, 10 are from Penn-
sylvania. Virginia and New Jer-
sey feature three players each.
That just goes to show you
howstrong Pennsylvania hock-
eyis overall. Theprograms, the
coaches ... they just produce
great hockey players, said the
former WVC standout. And
playing at that level through-
out high school really grooms
players for college.
Selenski played four years at
the University of Virginia,
where she is tied with herself
for third place for most goals in
a season with 27. She also is
third among the Cavaliers all-
time scorers with 73.
Playing at a big-time col-
lege and rising up through the
(USA Field Hockey) Futures
Program really helped get me
to where I am, said Selenski,
who has 68 caps (games in in-
ternational play). You keep
working to rise to the next lev-
el and its paying off for me.
I started realizing this was
more than just a dream when I
made the national team at
months ago.
Oncethere, thesquads train-
ing regimen started to help her
play like a seasoned veteran.
Bodimeade has had his team
traininall kinds of conditions
from altitude to the sweltering
heat the squad dealt with dur-
ing its series against Argentina
the teamit also beat in the fi-
nals of last Octobers Pan
American Games final to qual-
ify for the Olympics.
Team USA also spent time
training with U.S. Navy SEALS
while in San Diego, Calif.
The intensity at this level is
so much higher than any of us
had ever previously experi-
enced and you simply have to
be prepared for that, Selenski
said. I think were one of the
most fit teams in the world and
thats really an advantage to us.
We have somuchspeedanden-
durance and that really has
been helping us. Field hockey
has come a long way in the
United States and were no
longer just happy to get to the
Olympics. We want to do well.
We want to win and weve
shown against teams like Ar-
gentina that we can.
Selenski and her teammates
will slow the pace for the few
weeks prior to the London
Games, getting in more rest.
Well tweak a few things
and train some, but I think
when we show up in London
refreshed that well play well.
Which, for Selenski, means
using her speed to play like a
veteran.

There were a couple times dur-
ing the 2011-12 season when
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins head coach sawa question-
able goal allowed, or disallowed,
and wondered if instant replay
wouldve provided a different
outcome.
This season, Hynes wont have
to wonder.
On Thursday the American
Hockey Leagues Board of Gover-
nors approved the use of a video
goal-review system beginning
this season.
On Friday, Hynes applauded
the move.
Its due, he said. Ima propo-
nent of it, with so much net front
play and the speed of the shots,
its really important to have that
replay.
We saw a couple times last
season where its really tough for
the referee to make that judg-
ment call. I think it will be a bene-
fit.
Instant replay is one of several
changes in store for the upcom-
ing season. Another important
change, albeit temporary, deals
with icing. At the request of the
National Hockey League, the
AHL will test a variation of icing
that does away withthe tradition-
al race to the puck along the
boards. Instead, icing will be
called if the defending player is
the first to reach the end zone
face-off dots, provided the puck
has already crossed the goal line.
The rule will be tested until
Nov. 19 before reverting back to
the former icing system.
Hynes said the change is an-
other that could alleviate a situa-
tion that often requires a referee
to make a judgment call, and it
could eliminate those instances
whena player is injuredalong the
boards as he attempts to touch
the puck first.
Im looking forward to trying
it out, Hynes said. The newvar-
iation means it will help to have
guys who can get back quickly,
guys that can move.
Two other rule changes ap-
proved by the AHL board in-
clude: a minor penalty any time a
player covers the puck with his
hand to conceal it or prevent an
opponent from play it; and dur-
ing a faceoff players are prohibit-
ed from batting the puck with
their hand.
Hynes said both rules address
critical areas of the game and he
said the changes overall prove
that the AHL is staying ahead of
the curve.
Even trying things out for the
NHLmakes sense, since the AHL
is the second-best league in the
world, he said. Its somewhat
cutting edge.
NOTES
Hynes will get his first look
at many of the newprospects the
Pittsburgh organization acquired
or drafted during last weeks
NHL draft, including first-round
picks Derrick Pouliot (eighth
overall) and Olli Maatta (22nd
overall), both defensemen.
The new players are elite,
NHL-talented players, Hynes
said. Now, were working with
players who, in the next two or
three years, should be NHL
ready.
As far as the goaltending sit-
uation, things became clearer on
Saturday with the surprise an-
nouncement that Brad Thiessen
had signed a one-year deal to re-
main with the Penguins.
Hockeys free agency period
opens at noon today, and the or-
ganization is still likely looking
for another goalie for Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton behind Pitts-
burghs Marc-Andre Fleury and
Tomas Vokoun.
Thiessen and Patrick Killeen
are also under contract for this
season.
We know (goaltending) is the
most important position on the
team, and well be able to get it
addressed in the next week or
two, Hynes said. Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton is an attractive place for
goalies who want to compete for
a spot.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have
re-signed goaltender Brad Thies-
sen to a one-year contract, it was
announced Saturday by executive
vice president and general manag-
er Ray Shero.
Thiessens contract is a two-way
deal worth $525,000 in the NHL.
Thiessen, 26, split the 2011-12
season between Pittsburgh and
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He made
his NHL debut on Feb. 26 against
Columbus, stopping 22 of 24 shots
to earn his first NHL win. Thiessen
went 3-1 in Pittsburgh.
A native of Aldergrove, British
Columbia, Thiessen made 41 ap-
pearances with WBS in 2011-12,
going 23-15-2 with a 2.82 goals-
against average. Thiessens best
work came in the postseason,
when he went 6-6 while ranking
sixth in the AHL with a 2.14 goals-
against average and posting a
.908 save percentage.
The 6-foot, 180-pound Thiessen
had a career year with WBS in
2010-11, leading the AHL and estab-
lishing WBS franchise records with
35 victories and seven shutouts in
46 games. In total, Thiessen post-
ed a 35-8-1 record, 1.94 goals-
against average and a .922 save
percentage, earning him the Bas-
tien Memorial Award as the AHLs
top goaltender. Thiessen and his
crease partner, John Curry, shared
the Holmes Memorial Award as
the duo that allowed the fewest
regular-season goals in the AHL.
Thiessen, who signed with the
Pittsburgh organization as an
undrafted free agent on April 8,
2009, has appeared in 117 career
AHL regular-season games for
WBS, going 72-37-4 with a 2.38
goals-against average and a .908
save percentage. His 13 career
regular-season shutouts are a
WBS franchise record.

TUNKHANNOCK It was
high-scoring action in game one
of a doubleheader, setting the
tone for Mountain Post-Bs sweep
of Tunkhannock on Saturday in
Wyoming Valley senior legion
play.
Mountain Post outlasted Tunk-
hannock 13-10 in the first game
before earning a 5-2 win in the

In the opener, Tyler Sadvary
went 3-for-4 with two RBI while
Dom Sartini doubled and hit a
solo home run.
Tunkhannock, which scored
three runs in the bottom of the
seventh, was led by Jeremy Lees
three hits, three runs and three
RBI.
Tom Goyne came through on
the mound for Mountain Post in
the second game, recording every
out of the game in relief while
striking out six batters.
Rich Condeelis, who struck
out eight batters, went the dis-
tance in the loss.

STILL BRINGING THE HEAT
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
J
oe Bush, the man in charge of Monkey Joes Big Nut
Companys softball team, sends in a pitch during Fridays
Second Annual SSUSA National Qualifier Tournament for
players 70 and older at Kirby Park in Wilkes-Barre. Bushs
team, based out of Laurel Springs, N.J., won the over-70
title on Friday. Its a wonderful thing to see these guys
play, Bush said. Its hard to believe that theyre 70 or
more. We all love to play. Thats why some of us will play till
we croak.
Dont blink, because you just
might miss what fewsplashes are
anticipated to take place in NHL
free agency.
After Nashville Predators de-
fenseman Ryan Suter and poten-
tially New Jersey Devils captain
Zach Parise, the list of marquee
players expected to hit the mar-
ket at noon Sunday thins quickly.
Its very thin, Sabres general
manager Darcy Regier said this
week. The quality is there, the
quantity isnt there.
Thats good for the players
available because of the potential
of driving up their asking price,
but bad for Regier and the gener-
al managers competing against
each other to fill their needs.
As Minnesota Wild GMChuck
Fletcher said this month: Its a
good year to be a free agent.
Suter is the current headliner
after the players agent, Neil
Sheehy, confirmed Saturday that
his client will test the market.
I dont knowwhere Ryanis go-
ing to sign, Sheehy told The As-
sociated Press. I do know hes
keeping Nashville in the mix, but
he will hit free agency.
That news isnt a surprise, giv-
en that Predators general manag-
er DavidPoile was expecting that
to happen. Poile still isnt ruling
out the possibility of re-signing
the hard-hitting seven-year veter-
an.
In all the conversations weve
had, hes made it very clear that
he has nothing against Nash-
ville, Poile said before last week-
ends NHL draft. But hes gone
this far, and the longer we talk, it
appears hes going to take a look
at July 1.
Parise might follow, though
the Devils are expected to make
one last push to sign him.
There are numerous teams ex-
pectedto take runs at one or both
players.
The Detroit Red Wings could
use an established defenseman
such as Suter after Nicklas Lid-
strom retired.
The Wild are considered a po-
tential landing spot for Parise,
who is from the area.
Los Angeles forward Dustin
Penner and Washingtons Alex-
ander Semin head a secondary
list of mid-range free agents. Its a
group that also includes Florida
defenseman Jason Garrison and
Detroits Jiri Hudler.

Outside of a few big names,

OMAHA, Neb. Michael
Phelps 2, Ryan Lochte 1.
In their most stirring duel of
the U.S. Olympic trials, Phelps
and Lochte went stroke for
stroke in the 200-meter individu-
al medley Saturday night, the
worlds two greatest swimmers
never more than inches apart.
But Phelps led at every turn,
and he really turned it on at the
endtoedge Lochte witha time of
1 minute, 54.84 seconds nine-
hundredths ahead of the runner-
up and the fastest time in the
world this year.
It feels good to be back on
that side, but Im sure thats not
going to be the end of us going
backandforth, Phelps said. Im
just happy to be able to have a
good race like that, kind of fold it
all together.
For Phelps, it was an emphatic
message on his 27th birthday
that he intends to turn his last
Olympics into another major
medal haul. For Lochte, it was a
gutsy performance coming just a
half-hour after he won the gruel-
ing 200 backstroke.
The best thing about swim-
ming is racing and stepping up
against the worlds best, Lochte
said, not looking all that tired be-
fore he returnedfor his thirdrace
of the night, the semifinals of the
100 butterfly.
Lochte finished third in his
heat andset upone last race with
Phelps on Sunday.
Phelps, the two-time defend-
ingOlympic championinthe100
fly, advancedto the final withthe
another fastest time of 2012,
powering away to win his heat in
51.35. Lochte tied for the sixth-
fastest time in the semifinals
(52.47), but this isnt one of his
specialties. Hed need to pull a
big upset to earn another Olym-
pic event.
Lochte seemedtohave Phelps
number when he beat him twice
at last years world champion-
ships, then kept the dominance
going with a convincing win on
the first night of the trials in the
400 individual medley.
But Phelps edged Lochte in
the 200 freestyle, and now hes
got two wins in a rowagainst the
only swimmer who seems capa-
ble of preventing him from mak-
ing another serious run at eight
gold medals in London.
The two slapped hands while
hanging on the lane ropes, then
headed for the edge of the pool,
fully aware the races that really
matter are still to come.
Im sure theres going to be
some more races like that over
the next fewweeks, Phelps said.
Ryan swamthree great races to-
night. Thats a tough triple.
After he received his medals,
the sellout crowd of more than
13,000 serenaded Phelps with a
rendition of Happy Birthday.
Then he trotted around the deck
to hug his mom and sister.
In other events on the sixth
night of the trials, Jessica Hardy
made up for the disappointment
of missing out on the Beijing
Games because of a failed drug
test, winning the 100 freestyle.
Seventeen-year-old Missy Fran-
klin finished second.

Michael Phelps (left) and Davis Tarwater look at the clock after
touching the wall to finish Saturdays 100-meter butterfly.
BETHESDA, Md. Saturday
at Congressional was not the
first time Tiger Woods has
played before so few fans.
There were those 6 a.m. prac-
tice rounds at the British Open.
Or the occasional PGA Tour
event where fans were evacuated
because of a thunderstorm and
hardly anyone returned at twi-
light when play resumed. There
surely was the odd junior event
he played when he was 8.
But teeing off in the late after-
noon at the AT&TNational, on a
steamy but sun-filled day on a fa-
bled course in a golf-mad area
like Washington?
Woods had the largest crowd
of the day, even though it never
topped 100 people. Brendon de
Jonge, who had a 2-under 69 to
takeaone-shot lead, hadas many
birdies (three) as people in his
gallery on a strange, silent Satur-
day at Congressional.
A violent wind storm over-
night that toppled dozens of
trees andlitteredthe course with
limbs forced tournament offi-
cials to keep spectators and all
but the essential volunteers
away from Congressional for the
third round. Considering the
amount of debris, it was amazing
they even played.
Ive played in front of people
like this, Woods said. But not
generally for an 18-hole compet-
itive round.
De Jonge was steady in the
sweltering conditions for a third
straight round in the 60s, which
gave his first 54-hole lead on the
PGATour. One shot behind were
Woods (67), Bo Van Pelt (67)
and S.Y. Noh (69).
De Jonge, a South African go-
ing for his first PGA Tour win,
made his final birdie on the 12th
hole with a wedge out of the
rough that climbed over a ridge
and settled about 12 feet behind
the cup. It was worthy of ap-
plause, but there was only one
person in the gallery to see it
Kandi Mahan, the wife of Hunter
Mahan.
Indeed, this was a day like few
others on the PGA Tour.
A few volunteers, tournament
staff and club members tagged
along after Woods, and provided
about the only noise of the
round. They watched him and
Van Pelt get off to a quick start,
and then match pars on the back
nine to get close to the lead.
I told Tiger that was a Bo Van
Pelt crowd, so I was used to
that, Van Pelt said. I was very
comfortable with10 or 15 people
watching me play golf. No, it was
just nice to get it in. I think were
all fortunate that nobody got
hurt out here last night. Its a
credit to the grounds staff that
they got this golf course ready.
Im sure if you saw pictures of
what it looked like at midnight,
the fact that we played golf today
is a minor miracle.
De Jonge was at 7-under 206
and will play in the final group
with Van Pelt and Woods, who is
going for his third win of the
year. Woods won the AT&T Na-
tional the last time it was held at
Congressional in 209.
Billy Hurley, the Navy veteran
whogrewupinthe area, hada 66
and was two shots back, along
with Mahan, who stumbled to a
73.
Sunday might be a return to
normal, at least with the noise,
especially with Woods in the fi-
nal group.
The final round will be three-
somes going off both sides, giv-
ing the grounds crew even more
time to clean up the course.

PLAINS There might have
been a little more drama than
soon-to-be Hall of Fame trainer
Jimmy Takter would have liked,
but AmericanJewel tookover the
second half of the James M.
Lynch Memorial, winning the
first of three big-money stakes
races at Mohegan Sun at Pocono
Downs on Saturday night.
What can you say about her,
Takter said. That was a bad
break. She had a femur fracture
(last year) andhadtoget a couple
of screws init. But she never gave
me a problem and came all the
way back.
American Jewel won the race
in 1:49.2, matching its world re-
cord time set last weekend dur-
ing the qualifiers at Pocono
Downs and taking first in a race
with a $250,000 purse.
I had a lot of confidence in my
filly, driver Tim Tetrick said. I
give her a lot of credit.
Shes done everything Ive
asked of her. Great mares dont
come along often. Shes one of
the greats.
The nine-horse field became
clogged at the start, with Shellis-
cape, driven by John Campbell,
taking the early lead from the
ninth starting spot. She led the
field at the quarter-mile in an im-
pressive 25.3 her best split of
the year.
I conceded the front as some-
thing of a suicide mission, Te-
trick said. I knew theyd be fly-
ing out of the gate.
TetricksettledAmericanJewel
into the fourth spot and ran there
for the first half-mile. Meanwhile
Brian Sears and Economy Terror
pushed to the lead as the horses
hit the front straightaway for the
first time.
Economy Terrors 54.0 for the
half-mile was her best time of the
year as well.
But on the final time down the
backstretch, Tetrick decided
American Jewel should make her
move. The horse burst to the
front and built a cushion as she
came around the final turn.
I knew there would be some
speed out there, Tetrick said.
They tried to use me early but
we waited for the right time to
make out move.
Yannick Gingras drove Darena
Hanover to a second-place finish,
while Economy Terror was third
in a photo finish with Destinys
Chance, driven by Matt Kakaley.
Racing continued into the
night withtheMaxC. Hempt Me-
morial and the Ben Franklin.
Coverage of those races, with
purses totaling $800,000 will ap-
pear in Mondays edition.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. Follow-
ing the parent clubs leadthis sea-
son, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees got another decisive
home run on Saturday.
Russell Branyan continued his
tear at the plate with a three-run
homer in the sixth, leading the
Yankees to a 6-4 win over Roch-
ester.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre won
its fourth straight game at Fron-
tier Field following a sweep of
Gwinnett while serving as the
home team.
Taking a cue from New York,
which had recorded a home run
in every one of its wins until mid-
June, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre has
had plenty of help from Branyan,
who now has 10 homers in 28
games with the club.
PrestonClaiborne, makingjust
his second appearance after be-
ing called up from Trenton,
picked up the win in relief, his
first at the Triple-A level.
Red Wings starter Jeff Man-
ship, who was making his first
start in Rochester since being op-
tioned by Minnesota earlier this
week, left after just four innings,
holding the Yankees without a
run and just two hits.
The move to the bullpen was a
welcome sight for the Yankees
(46-37).
Ray Kruml and Chris Dicker-
son got Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
on the board in the fifth with run-
scoring singles. Dickersons hit
drove in two runs and gave the
Yankees a lead they wouldnt re-
linquish.
Branyan gave them some wel-
come breathing roomin the sixth
with a three-run homer to left-
center off of Brendan Wise.
SWB starter Michael OCon-
nor finished with a no-decision
after four innings of work, surren-
dering four hits, two of which left
the park for solo home runs cour-
tesy of Danny Valencia.
Valencia hurt the Yankees
again in the sixth, singling home
a run against Claiborne after a
passed ball allowed a runner to
advance to third.
The bullpen shut down Roch-
ester (37-45) from there. Manny
Delcarmenallowedjust one base-
runner while working the sev-
enth and eighth.
JasonBulger pickedup his first
save but not without a bit of trou-
ble. TheWings pickedupanother
solohome runthis time byMatt
Carson to make things interest-
ing in the ninth.

preparing for its annual hunting heritage
banquet and auction. This year, the
event was moved from February to July,
and to a new location.
The event will be held July 14 at Kone-
fals Grove on Chase Road in the outdoor
facility, complete with a picnic style
dinner, casual dress and relaxing atmo-
sphere.
The event will begin at 5 p.m., and
attendees will have a chance to visit and
play the raffles before dinner. Several
guns will be auctioned, including a Mil-
nium .40 cal., a Mossberg .308 Night
Train and several others. A womens
table, silent auction, and the live auction
and sportsman raffle will also be held.
Cost for the event is $60 per person,
which includes one meal and member-
ship, or $85 per couple, which includes
two meals and one membership. A spon-
sor price is also available.
If you cannot attend and would like to
renew a membership, you may also do
that. For more information, contact Chris
at 696-2406 or bowhuntergirl@fron-
tier.com.
Donations are also being sought for
ads for the program, underwrites and
items to be used as door prizes, for the
silent auction or the womens table.
Money raised at the event goes toward
preserving our hunting heritage, schol-
arship program, JAKES events, planting
projects for wildlife and much more.
The Greater Hazleton Astronomical
Society will host a Night Out With the
Stars on Saturday, July 28 at 8:30 p.m.
at Nescopeck State Park. The program
will begin inside with a brief introduction
to interpreting the night sky and then
continue outdoors to look through tele-
scopes. This program is family oriented
and there is no cost to attend. Please
bring a flashlight for returning to the car
after the program. Registration is re-
quired by calling the park office at 403-
2006.
O U T D O O R N O T E S
The Pennsylvania Fish
and Boat Commission may
have found a way to in-
crease revenue generated
by license sales without
raising the cost to license
buyers.
A new law enacted by
Gov. Corbett last week
gives the agencys board the
ability to get creative with
its licensing options. Possi-
bilities include multi-year
licenses, family packages
and promotional licenses.
The measure does not raise
the cost of a fishing license.
According to Norm Gav-
lick, who represents the
northeast region on the
PFBC board, some of the
new licensing options could
become a reality next year.
The board meets in two
weeks and we may hit on
one or two options for next
year, he said.
The 2012 fishing license
expires on Dec. 31.
The cost of a fishing
license hasnt increased
since 2005, but Gavlick said
the agency hasnt advocated
for a fee hike. Instead, he
said, the goal has been to
find alternative sources of
funding, such as gas drilling
revenue, discussed fees for
water withdrawals and
license packages that in-
crease participation.
Weve been forced to get
creative, which isnt a bad
thing, Gavlick said.
The first option that is
likely to happen is the cre-
ation of a multi-year li-
cense. Gavlick said it could
be a three or five-year li-
cense, and he wasnt sure if
it would include stamps.
Allowing anglers to pur-
chase a multi-year license
would stabilize the turn-
over the agency experi-
ences in license sales. Gav-
lick said the agency has a
high percentage of custom-
ers who dont buy licenses
consistently each year.
A multi-year license
would stabilize that and
allow us to lock in federal
funding, which is based on
license sales, for a period of
years, he said.
Joe Lasecki, owner of
Nimrod Haven Sporting
Goods in Hanover Town-
ship, said the multi-year
license idea has merit, but
the board should offer a
discount as a incentive for
anglers. He also suggested
that any multi-year license
be printed on a durable
card so it holds up over
time.
Lasecki also questioned
what a multi-year approach
would mean to issuing
agents, who receive a dollar
for each license they sell.
If I sell a five-year li-
cense do I get five years
worth of license sales? he
asked. Sales are up from
what Ive seen this year in
my store and I think things
like this could help even
more.
Paul Scavone, owner of
JS Sporting Goods in
Wilkes-Barre Township,
agreed that a multi-year
license would appeal to
more anglers if a discount
were included in the price.
I think guys would go
for it. Being able to buy a
license once and its good
for several years would
make it more convenient
for them, Scavone said. I
get a lot of guys rushing in
here at the end of Decem-
ber so they can get a new
license and be able to ice
fish on Jan. 1. This would
be a help.
Other options the board
could soon consider is a
group license one that
would apply for charter
boats, and family packages.
Were very excited about
this and over the next year
or two well be looking at a
number of options to try,
Gavlick said. We hope this
will increase participation
and increase revenue with-
out having to raise license
fees. I think these things
will get a positive response
from anglers.
No worries for anglers: Cost of fishing licenses will remain
the same by offering options such as multi-year deals

A new law gives the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission the authority to implement various licensing packages,
including multi-year deals and family licenses. The price of a fishing license wont be increased.

W H AT A B O U T H U N T I N G L I C E N S E S ?
With the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission poised
to implement a multi-year license concept, is it possible
that the Pennsylvania Game Commission will follow suit?
According to PGC spokesman Jerry Feaser, the agency is
willing to explore the option, but there are challenges.
The problem with us going to multi-year licenses is the
harvest tags that come with them. They would still need to
be picked up each year, just like our lifetime license holders
do, he said. They would still be going to the place where
they purchase their license each year to get their tags.
It has been almost 15 years since the PGC had a license
fee increase, and the agency is considering other options
to generate revenue, Feaser said. One option being
considered is making all valid license holders eligible for a
prize giveaway, such as a truck.
It would serve as an incentive for people to buy a license
every year, Feaser said.
PGC office open for
hunting licenses
Pennsylvania Game Commis-
sion Northeast Region Director
Daniel Figured announced that
the Northeast Region Office will
be open from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
on Saturday, July 7, to accom-
modate persons wishing to
purchase a hunting license.
There is an annual rush to
purchase general hunting licens-
es just prior to the initial sale of
antlerless deer licenses, Fig-
ured said. We try to accommo-
date the increase in demand by
offering additional office hours
for license sales.
Normal business hours of the
Northeast Region Office are
from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday
through Friday. The office is at
3917 Memorial Highway in
Dallas.
Antlerless license
applications up in July
County treasurers will begin
accepting antlerless deer license
applications from resident hun-
ters starting Monday, July 9;
and from nonresidents begin-
ning Monday, July 30.
For the 2012-13 license year,
antlerless deer license fees are
the same as they have been
since 1999, except for the 70-
cent transaction fee attached to
the purchase of each license and
permit, which is paid directly to
Active Outdoors, the Nashville-
based company that runs Penn-
sylvania Automated License
System (PALS). This trans-
action fee means that residents
will need to write checks made
payable to County Treasurer
for $6.70, and nonresidents for
$26.70.
Under the 2012 timeline,
residents will apply for regular
antlerless deer licenses on July
9; nonresidents will apply for
regular antlerless deer licenses
on July 30. After this, residents
and nonresidents will apply for
the first round of unsold antler-
less deer licenses on Aug. 6, and
residents and nonresidents will
apply for the second round of
unsold antlerless deer licenses
on Aug. 20.
County treasurers will have to
mail regular and first round of
unsold licenses no later than
Sept. 10, and second round of
unsold licenses no later than
Sept. 24.
DMAP permits also
available through PALS
Deer Management Assistance
Program (DMAP) antlerless
deer permits are available
through the Pennsylvania Auto-
mated License System (PALS).
DMAP is the Game Commis-
sions program designed to help
landowners manage deer num-
bers on their properties. Eligible
landowners include those own-
ing: public lands; private lands
where no fee is charged for
hunting; and hunting clubs
established prior to Jan. 1, 2000,
that are owned in fee title and
have provided a club charter
and list of current members to
the agency.
Hunters may obtain up to two
DMAP antlerless deer permits
per property, and DMAP per-
mits do not impact a hunters
eligibility to apply for and re-
ceive antlerless deer licenses
issued for Wildlife Management
Units (WMUs).
Wildlife grants being
accepted for projects
The Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission is accepting
project applications to the State
Wildlife Grant Program. These
projects will help address con-
servation needs for a high-pri-
ority conservation project for a
Pennsylvania endangered mus-
sel, the Eastern Pearlshell.
Project applications are due
by 4 p.m. on Tuesday, July 31,
and the PFBC anticipates final
selection of a project by mid-to-
late August.
The federal dollars for this
program are awarded to the
PFBC from the U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service through the
State Wildlife Grants Program.
Awarding funds for any selected
projects will be contingent upon
availability of funds.
For more information and an
application packet, visit the
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commission website (www.fish-
andboat.com), select Grants
from the left-hand column and
then State Wildlife Grant Pro-
gram. Projects must address
the topic listed the PFBC SWG
2012 priority topics.
Holiday brings BUI
reminders with it
As the busy July 4 holiday
approaches, the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission is
reminding vacationers that
boating under the influence
(BUI) is a serious crime and a
threat to public safety.
Boating under the influence
is no different than driving a car
after someones been drinking,
said PFBC Executive Director
John Arway. Alcohol impairs an
individuals ability to operate a
vehicle safely. For the safety of
all individuals on the water,
please do not operate your boat,
jet ski, canoe or kayak if youve
been drinking.
So far this year, seven individ-
uals have been charged with
boating under the influence.
PFBC waterways conservation
officers arrested 62 individuals
last year and 66 in 2010 for
boating under the influence.
Many boaters may not know
that the threshold for BUI is the
same as with motor vehicles
0.08 percent, said Jeff Bridi,
assistant director of the PFBC
Bureau of Law Enforcement.
Officers regularly patrol water-
ways. If officers suspect some-
one is boating under the influen-
ce, they can arrest the individu-
al on the spot.
Last year legislators strength-
ened the BUI law, elevating the
charge of homicide by water-
craft while operating under the
influence to a second degree
felony a minimum jail sen-
tence of at least six years.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N D

H
aving leaped its first hurdle
with the unexpected support of
Chief Justice John Roberts, the
Affordable Care Act must now survive
the bluster of a presidential campaign
in which one candidate vows to repeal
it and the other has done a poor job of
selling its benefits.
Business has a big stake in the final
outcome. Opponents claim Obama-
care will burden employers with high-
er costs, but that is by no means cer-
tain. Opening the market for insurers
to cross state lines could introduce
competition and drive down premi-
ums. Some small businesses may opt
to pay a penalty for not providing
insurance and let employees fend for
themselves individuals also could
choose to buy insurance or pay a mod-
est penalty. The penalties would be
applied to the cost of government-
supplied coverage similar to Medicare.
To me thats still too complicated
and doesnt adequately address the
biggest issue America and its busi-
nesses face health care costs that
are too high and growing too rapidly.
This is not just a social issue; reining
in the cost of health care and keeping
people healthy and productive is crit-
ically important to businesses. Right
now, high health care costs are a com-
petitive disadvantage for American
firms going up against companies
based in other nations.
America has had the highest per
capita health care cost among devel-
oped nations for decades, but the
spread really took off in the 1980s.
According to the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Devel-
opment, in 2008 our per person cost of
$7,538 was almost double the average
of 15 prosperous nations. In 1980, the
difference was about 50 percent.
It may not be a coincidence that
wages have been stagnant since then;
when employers must pay more for
health insurance that leaves less for
raises.
According to OECD data, health
care spending equaled 16 percent of
our economy in 2008, compared to an
average of 10 percent. In a $15 trillion
economy, the difference is real money
that could be applied to productive
uses or given back to taxpayers whose
spending boosts the economy. Narrow-
ing the gap between us and the aver-
age by only 1 percent would save $150
billion a year.
Thats the macro argument for re-
forms to bring down the cost of care.
Theres another part of this that isnt
mentioned enough when people
have adequate health care benefits
theyre more likely to get preventive
care that keeps them on the job and
active in the community. Not only
does that add to productivity, it can
reduce medical expenses dramatically
as illnesses and disease are diagnosed
and treated before they become seri-
ous.
Champions of the status quo claim
the United States has the best health
care in the world. Id agree that many
of our hospitals, research labs and
doctors are second to none, but they
also are accessible only to those whose
income or insurance plan can afford
the pay the bill.
In the end, we can reform health
care thoughtfully or watch the nation
go bust under the weight of rising
costs. Opponents will vehemently
deny it, but their intransigence will
lead to rationing by ability to pay, or
will saddle government and those with
insurance with ever higher outlays.
My fear is that if opponents wield
the levers of power after November
theyll do what politicians have done
for decades promise all the goodies
without paying for them.
Business and the larger society can
no longer afford that. Failing to grasp
this opportunity to begin reform will
hurt all of us and the nations future.

HOLLANDALE, Minn. Marc
Schober likes to say that farmland is
the newgold, a hot investment that of-
fers protection from the whims of the
stock market.
In fact, its better than gold, the 25-
year-old explains, tromping through a
muddy field near Albert Lea, Minn.,
that hes vetting for potential East
Coast buyers. Cropland pays you mon-
ey to hold it, he says. Gold bars dont
produce anything, and you cant
charge rent on them.
That type of bullish thinking has in-
vestors of everystripe flockingtofarm-
land, plowing money into dirt from
Australia to Brazil to the U.S. heart-
land. Compared to the volatile stock
market and the feeble returns from
bonds, farmland offers booming cash
rents that have made it something of
an it investment.
Schobers investors, some of whom
are Wall Street guys that run securi-
ties funds, see farmland as a hedge
against inflation, he explains. Theyre
extremely turned on to the return pro-
file -- its such a steady increase.
Brian Briggeman, a former Kansas
City Federal Reserve Bank economist
now at Kansas State University, esti-
mates that about a quarter of farmland
buyers in Kansas and elsewhere are
now investors, or non-operator buyers
of some sort. How many are Wall
Street-typeplayers is impossibletosay.
Even in Minnesota, which restricts
institutional ownership of farmland,
out-of-state investors are flexing their
muscle, according to auctioneers, land
brokers and assessors.

WASHINGTON -- As some older
Americans try to improve their finances
by tapping home equity through reverse
mortgages, manyareat riskof endingup
inaworsesituationbecauseof confusion
over the complex terms of the loans, ac-
cordingtoa newgovernment report.
There is a growing tendency for se-
niors to obtain the money at a younger
age and in a lump suminstead of annual
installments designed to spread the dol-
lars through their retirement prob-
lems that could accelerate as the baby
boomgenerationgoes gray, accordingto
thereport releasedlast weekbytheCon-
sumer Financial ProtectionBureau.
Withabout10percent of reversemort-
gages in default because the homeown-
ersfailedtokeepupwithrequiredproper-
ty tax and insurance payments, the bu-
reau said it was worried about the in-
creased use of the product over the last
decadeandwas lookingintonewregula-
tions. In addition, the complexity of re-
verse mortgages makes some senior citi-
zens prime targets for scammers, the re-
port said.
There may be circumstances where
the reverse mortgage is appropriate, but
the seniors Ive talked to really are a bit
confusedabout what it is all about, said
Hubert H. Skip Humphrey III, head of
thebureaus Officeof Older Americans.
Theyre told theres money out there
that they canget, but there isnt always a
description of the cost associated with
the product. And the interest rates and
other parts of this product are often con-
fusing, Humphreysaid.
The consumer bureau is considering
requiring better disclosure of reverse
mortgage terms and stricter oversight,
including limits on misleading advertis-
ing.
Consumers Union has been warning
that reversemortgages areripefor abuse
and that people should use significant
caution in exploring the option. This

OWANDA Penn State Wilkes-Barre is branching
out to serve workers inthe NorthernTiers Marcel-
lus Shale gas industry.
Starting in August, the university will offer courses at its
Northern Tier Center in Towanda aimed at helping gas in-
dustry workers improve their job skills. The college un-
veiledtheprogramat anopenhouseThursdayat thecenter.
We feel that being in the heart
of the Marcellus Shale industry it
made sense to bring the program
here, said John Swayze, contin-
uing education coordinator for
Penn State Wilkes-Barre. ... The
gas industry has just ballooned up
in this region and what were try-
ing to do is help that industry pro-
vide education and training to
their employees.
The courses will be offered
through an affiliate agreement
with the Marcellus Shale Educa-
tion & Training Center, or
MSETC, a collaborative effort of
Pennsylvania College of Technolo-
gy and the Penn State Cooperative
Extension. Instructors from the
training centers Williamsport and
Wellsboro campuses will travel to
Towanda to teach.
The center tried out a similar
program last year at a Penn State
satellite campus in Dubois, Clear-
field County. MSETCAssistant Di-
rector Jackie Stash said that pro-
gram has already seen success.
Weve been offering classes on a
fairly regular basis out there,
Stash said. We
have an assort-
ment of classes
probably almost
monthly Its able
to provide training
for folks who are
out in the industry
where its a little bit more conve-
nient for them.
The college currently has one
course scheduled at the Northern
Tier Center, a 10-hour class titled
Leadership for the Gas Industry
that will be offered over two days
in August. Swayze said that course
was tailored to the needs of gas in-
dustry workers.
What were being told is, its
such a growth industry that a lot of
people that are getting promoted
tosupervisory positions dont have
supervisory experience, Swayze
said.
This industry promotes a lot
fromwithin, Stash added. So Ive
talked to a lot of employees in this
program; theyre in there 20s, they

Q: A few months ago, I went
to human resources and made a
formal sexual harassment com-
plaint about my manager,
which resulted in his termina-
tion. His replacement is a com-
petent, experienced woman
who initially seemed empathic
andapproachable. Unfortunate-
ly, that impression was incor-
rect.
My new manager recently in-
formed me that both her boss
and the HR director have ex-
pressed concerns about my job
performance. When I told her
that I had received the highest
possible rating on my last six
performance reviews, she re-
plied that managements per-
ception had changed and that I
would be watched very closely
in the future.
NowI feel as though I have to
document everything I do,
whichis extremely stressful. Al-
thoughIma salariedemployee,
I have begun using the time
clock to punch in and out, just
to be sure my work hours are re-
corded. I have alsostartedkeep-
ing a log of every task that I
complete.
Im sure this threat originat-
ed with the HR director, be-
causehewas not pleasedwhenI
followed through with my sex-
ual harassment claim. He told
me not to discuss that issue
with anyone, so now I dont
know where to turn.
A: Retaliation for filing a sex-
ual harassment complaint is
against the law, so the logical
place to seek help and advice
would be the Equal Employ-
ment Opportunity Commis-
sion. Based on your descrip-
tion, this implied threat to your
employment appears to be an
obvious attempt to retaliate. If
your HR manager is in on the
scheme, then your only re-
course is to find an external
source of assistance.
The EEOC can review your
legal options and help you de-
cide whether to file a formal
charge against your company.
In the meantime, continue to
document your activities and
consider starting a job search,
because you may never again
feel comfortable in this appar-
ently hostile environment.
Q: Myhusbandrecentlyhired
someone who has turned out to
be an ambitious braggart.
Brad will do anything to get
the attention of upper manage-
ment. When my husband is
speaking in meetings, Brad fre-
quently interrupts. He con-
stantly tells stories that exag-
gerate his accomplishments
and often takes credit for my
husbands work. We are becom-
ingconcerned, because this guy
clearly seems to be after my
husbands job. What should he
do?
A: First of all, your husband
must avoid overreacting. Get-
ting into an obvious power
struggle with one of his own
employees will only make him
look like a weak, insecure man-
ager. Fortunately, blatant cred-
it-grabbers frequently turn peo-
ple off with their self-serving
narcissistic statements, so Brad
may actually be shooting him-
self in the foot.
To be on the safe side, howev-
er, your husband should make a
concerted effort to shore up his
own reputation and strengthen
his relationship with key man-
agers. If he tends to be some-
what quiet and reserved, this
would be an excellent time to
become more assertive and en-
sure that management is aware
of his own contributions.

TLANTA-- Rubbermaidmade its name ondura-
ble plastic containers. It nowwants tobe known
for more. From bathroom cleaning supplies to deco-
rative living room organizers to lunch-sized travel
kits, the company that sold utilitarian trash cans and
garage storage bins has moved away froman all-plas-
tic portfolio. Its added color. Its no longer trying to
sell everything to everyone. And its finally defined
its customer.
What people really want is to
organize their living space,
said Steve Pawl, vice president
of marketing for Rubbermaid.
Were trying to evolve to be
much more of a home solutions
brand.
So Rubbermaid, which is part
of Sandy Springs, Ga.-based
Newell Rubbermaid, conducted
research and toured customers
homes, studying as they put
away their leftovers and cleaned
their bathrooms. What they
learned is that everyone finds
their own solutions, so Rubber-
maids new products had to be
flexible, to fit established hab-
its.
That means a scrub brush
with interchangeable pads, so
people cancleanwithbristles or
a sponge. It means small con-
tainers for packing a lunch,
sized for a sandwich or carrot
sticks instead of just leftover la-
sagna. It means decorative box-
es that have flexible dividers, so
they can be customized based
on content.
If its too prescriptive, its not
goingtoworkthewayweneedit
to, Pawl said.
Rubbermaid is reaching out
to influential bloggers and pro-
fessional organizers to inform
them about the changes in the
company, which is nearly 100
years old.
Bill Chappell, an analyst with
SunTrust Robinson Humphrey,
said while it is still early in the
shift, Rubbermaid seems to be
getting more shelf space in
stores. Like all of Newell Rub-
bermaid, Chappell said, the
Rubbermaid brand is trying to
become more upscale and sell
items at high price points.
Theyre doing what they
should, he said. It takes time.
Newell Rubbermaid chief
marketing officer Ted Woehrle
said the change in focus will
help Rubbermaid re-brand its
products as items that can help
shoppers get their lives orga-
nized. For its newlunchcontain-
ers, Rubbermaid is offering cou-
pons for tuna fish or bread in its
packaging. Its alsogettingmore
items into stores where Rubber-
maid had not been found in the
past.
The company will continue to
offer more products, Pawl said,
both in the areas it is already op-
erating and in new lines. Rub-
bermaid intends to move fur-
ther into laundry room organi-
zation.
It has already added several
recycling-specific containers
that can be used differently, de-
pending on how goods are col-
lected, and a plunger that is
coated in a wax-like substance
that lets water bead up, so the
plunger doesnt drip. The brand
also offers products to organize
closets.
To get customers to look at
Rubbermaid as more than just
plastic containers, Pawl said the
company is repeating its new
messagingagainandagain, hop-
ing its mantra about Rubber-
maid helping them get their
lives in order will resonate with
shoppers.
Were not necessarily walk-
ing away from durability, Pawl
said. Its just not the thingwere
hanging our hat on anymore.
Rubbermaid refreshes brand

Rubbermaid is refreshing the brand, focusing on the busy mom

started as a laborer, and now
theyre a supervisor with 20
people working under them, so
thats why we wanted to offer
this introductory leadership
program.
The college plans to schedule
four additional courses in the
fall, most centered on regulato-
ry compliance training. Stu-
dents will not receive university
credits for the courses, which
Swayze described as practical
rather than theoretically based,
but they will receive certificates
and in some cases certification
from larger regulatory bod-
ies.The PEC SafeLand Basic
Orientationprovides a basic un-
derstandingof general safety in-
formation an employee should
know before entering a compa-
ny facility and while working.
Hydrogen Sulfide Alive gives
workers skills to recognize and
respond to toxins they may en-
counter on the job. Hazard Rec-
ognition Plus teaches workers
to identify job hazards using a
standardized thought process
that can be applied to any work-
place. The Shell Bluebook Ori-
entation introduces students to
human and environmental
harmmitigation using a system
developed by Shell.
Through the program, Penn
State Wilkes-Barre joins a grow-
ing list of colleges expanding
their course offerings in re-
sponse to the growth of the gas
industry in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania, including:
The Marcellus Shale Edu-
cation & Training Center at
Pennsylvania College of Tech-
nology in Williamsport,
The Marcellus Institute at
Mansfield University of Penn-
sylvania in Mansfield, and
The Natural Gas Education
and Training programat Lacka-
wanna College in New Milford.
But while those programs fo-
cus on training workers to land
jobs with the gas industry, the
new program at Penn State
Wilkes-Barre is tailored to-
wards helping those working in
the industry, including those in
subsidiary industries, improve
their skills.
Its a fast-moving industry in
terms of everything happening at
onceandits hardfor themtotrav-
el, Swayze said. They like to
have programs when they need
them, where they need them.
Swayze said future courses
couldbe addedaccording to the
needs of gas companies, which
will likely foot the bill for the
tuition of their employees.
If the five pilot courses are
successful, Swayze said Marcel-
lus Shale-focused educational
offerings at the Northern Tier
Center will likely expand. Simi-
lar course offerings could be
addedat other satellite campus-
es, including the Penn State
Wilkes-Barre campus in Leh-
man Township.
The people at MTESC are
very interested in that, he said.

Theres absolutely beenanup-
tick, said Glen Fladeboe, co-
owner of Willmar, Minn.-based
Fladeboe Auctions, which is do-
ing a brisk business in land sales.
Were seeing them as players in
the market now. Demand for
farmland is just huge.
The entrance of new money
has fed fears of an asset bubble,
although most see investors as
more of a symptom than a driver
of high prices.
Paul Magnuson, a 50-year-old
investment manager fromDallas,
likes farms so much that he
bought five in the past two years
one for each of his children.
He found them through Farm-
ers National Co., a large Omaha-
based farm management compa-
ny that has amassed 5,000 farms
in 24 states. It manages the prop-
erties for non-operating lan-
downers, corporate owners and
investors such as Magnuson.
Magnusons day job is manag-
ing mutual funds for a unit of in-
surance giant Allianz. But he was
born in a small town in Nebraska,
he explains, and his father grew
up on a farm. He wants to pass on
some of that heritage to his chil-
dren. Plus, he thought the farm-
land was the soundest invest-
ment he could make.
In the past decade, U.S. farm-
land has returned an average of
15.5percent a year, accordingtoa
widely watched index from the
National Council of Real Estate
Investment Fiduciaries. That
compares with about 4.1 percent
for the Standard & Poors 500
stock index andabout 1.8 percent
for 90-day government bonds.
Gold? About 19 percent.
Magnuson worries about infla-
tion. I want to be able to give
something to my children that
the central banks of the world
cant replicate, he said. I see
that the demand for food incre-
mentally grows each year, and I
dont know about the supply of
farm ground coming on.

week, thegroupurgedtougherfed-
eral oversight of theloans andpub-
lishedtips for consumers consider-
ingreversemortgages.
It is an expensive way to bor-
row, said Norma Garcia, a senior
attorneywiththeorganization. Its
not for everyone.
Reversemortgages allowpeople
at least 62 years old to take out
loansbasedontheequitybuiltupin
their homes. But unlikeatradition-
alhomeequityloan, areversemort-
gage does not require any monthly
payments. The loan, which is eas-
iertoqualifyforthanahomeequity
lineof credit, doesnt comedueun-
til the home is sold or the person
moves out or dies.
Its an attractive option for peo-
ple who want to enhance their re-
tirement income without selling
their home -- as long as theyre
awareoftherisks,saidRichardCor-
dray, the consumer bureaus direc-
tor.
For example, because the inter-
est is added to the loan amount
eachmonth, thesizeof theloancan
grow to exceed the homes value.
Under federal rules, borrowers or
theirheirsgenerallyarentrequired
to repay more than the homes val-
ue. But that canmeantheresnoeq-
uity left in the home to pass down
totheborrowers children.
Borrowers also can face foreclo-
sure if they dont stay current on
property taxes and insurance pre-
miums. As of the end of February,
9.4 percent of reverse mortgages
were in default on taxes or insur-
ancepayments, upfrom8.1percent
inJuly2011, thereport said.
Peter Bell, president of the Na-
tional Reverse Mortgage Lenders
Association, an industry trade
group, said that the report raises
valid questions and that the asso-
ciation would work with the con-
sumer bureautofindtheanswers.
All of us want seniors and their
children to have a better and more
in-depth understanding of reverse
mortgages, Bell said. Last week,
the group launched a consumer
education effort called Borrow
WithConfidence.
With the potential for rapid
growth in the use of reverse mort-
gages, Cordray said the consumer
bureau is worried about some of
the reports findings. The average
age of people gettingreverse mort-
gages has been dropping it was
72 as of May 31, down from 76 in
2000, accordingtoHUDandthe
most common age for successful
applicants now is 62, the report
said.
Younger homeowners must
make the reverse mortgage money
last longer. Compoundingthe con-
sumer bureaus concern is that
more people are taking the money
inalumpsum, orclosetoit, instead
of an annuity-like payment. Three-
fourthsof borrowersin2010tookat
least 90 percent of the money at
closing, comparedwith43 percent
in2008, thereport said.

SOLED MARGINS
Next time you walk past the womens apparel section in a department
store to buy shoes, an investor will be thanking you. Womens apparel
has become less important for department stores sales, which is
good for them because it can be difficult to sell. Fashions change
quickly and can force stores to mark down prices often.
But at Nordstrom,
womens apparel
accounted for just 22
percent of sales growth
over the last five years,
Credit Suisse analysts
say. Most of the growth
69 percent came
from shoes, accessories
and cosmetics. Prices
for them tend to be
steadier, which leads to
more stable profit
margins.
LOOK OUT
The stock market is about to enter
what has historically been the
worst quarter of a presidential
election year. Since 1945, the
Standard & Poors 500 index has
been basically flat, on average,
from June through September of
an election year. Not only that, it
has dropped during the quarter
just as often as it has risen.
The final quarter of an election
year has historically been better,
but this year could be volatile,
says Sam Stovall, chief equity
strategist for S&P Capital IQ. Wor-
ries about the fiscal cliff of
scheduled tax increases and
spending cuts at the end of the
year could spook investors.

BACK TO THE PEAK
Encouraging news for municipal bond investors: state revenue
has recovered from the recession and is on track for a record
high. States are on pace to collect $690.3 billion this fiscal year,
which ends in June for most states, says the National Governors
Association and National Association of State Budget Officers.
Thats $10 billion more than five years ago, the prior peak.
Stronger finances means states are less likely to default on
their debt, and municipal bonds have been some of the most pop-
ular investments over the last year. But the surge in buying has
also driven muni bond yields lower.

Stocks can rise, even if the Euro-
pean debt crisis continues to con-
found investors, says John Burke of
Burke Financial Strategies, a finan-
cial advisory firm. Stocks have done
it a couple times already since
Greece received its first rescue loan
in 2010. Burke suggests focusing on
U.S. stocks that pay dividends and
also get significant revenue from
China, India and other emerging
markets. These economies have
slowed but are still growing faster
than the developed world.
How big a problemis the Europe-
an debt crisis?
If you look at what happened with
the markets from Oct. 1 of last year
through May 1 of this year, the mar-
kets went up a lot. (The S&P 500
rose 28 percent.) During that seven
month period of time, Europe was
still Europe. You still had bad head-
lines, almost on a daily basis. What
happened was that the market start-
ed to recognize that the part of Eu-
rope thats in trouble is about 7 per-
cent of the worlds GDP. If the rest of
the world stays OK, then were go-
ing to be OK with our stock market
investments.
What happened in May was we
started getting some more reports
that werent quite as good in the
United States, and then the question
was whether the growth story was
over in China, India and Brazil.
In Europe, it doesnt look like
theres a lot of hope that things are
going to turn around any time soon.
But if the rest of the world can right
itself, then we can make money in
stocks.
Can the rest of the world right it-
self?
After the first quarter, CEOs were
fairly optimistic. Between 70 and 75
percent of companies beat analysts
earnings expectations. So, here was
Europe still having problems, yet
earnings for these corporations were
still good. Yeah, I think its quite pos-
sible if the Chinese growth story
continues, and theyre cutting inter-
est rates over there. Theyre cutting
interest rates in Australia. Theyre
cutting interest rates in Brazil.
What kinds of stocks look inter-
esting?
Emerging markets is where all the
growth is. India is growing at 5 per-
cent after inflation. Brazil is at 5 or 6
percent. These are much higher
growth rates than the U.S. and cer-
tainly Europe. We want to identify
which companies are doing the most
business in those countries.
Youre looking at Philip Morris In-
ternational and Coca-Cola and Col-
gate Palmolive and 3M. These are
not Chinese names. They are not
Brazilian names. Were buying divi-
dend-paying stocks only. So theres
our growthweve got the emerging
markets exposure in this group. And
theres our incometheyre paying
dividends and growing them.
In the past 10 years, if you break
down the S&P 500 that have at least
20 percent of their sales coming
from emerging markets, there are 90
of them. Stocks of those 90 have
advanced at a rate of 9 percent a
year over the last 10 years. The oth-
er 410 have lost 3 percent per year.
For us, thats the universe we want
to be in.

AMOUNT
REPURCHASED
ANNUALIZED
RETURN*
Business leaders mean well when they aim to
reward investors by buying back stock in their
companies. But, too often they pull the trigger at
the wrong time.
Companies in the Standard &
Poors 500 index bought
$142 billion of their own
stock during the fourth quarter of
2007, when the index hit its record high and
stocks were expensive. But they
repurchased just $31 billion in the first
quarter of 2009, when the market hit its
recession bottom and stocks were cheap.
The benefits of stock buybacks are clear.
They increase the value of remaining shares
and lift per-share earnings results. By taking
shares off the market, earnings are divided
among fewer shares.
But Credit Suisse analyst David Zion suggests
evaluating buybacks like your own portfolio;
measure the returns to find out if the repurchase
actually benefitted shareholders.
He looked at the $2.7 trillion
that companies in the
S&P 500 spent on
stock repurchases from 2004
through 2011, and he identified the 10
that reaped the biggest returns.
Stock buybacks also help
companies save on dividend
payments. Philip Morris has saved
$2.6 billion from its 2004-11
repurchases, according to Zions
estimates. For some context, thats more
than the $2.1 billion the company
reported in net income last quarter.

Sources: S&P Indices; FactSet Data through June 28 *based on the last 12 months
The buyback boom among
companies in the Standard &
Poors 500 index is slowing.
For years, strong profit
growth meant companies were
building mountains of cash,
which they used to repurchase
more and more of their own
stock. Buybacks increased for
nine straight quarters, and S&P
500 companies repurchased a
total of $118.4 billion in the third
quarter of 2011.
But buybacks have since fall-
en for two straight quarters. In
the first quarter of 2012, repur-
chases fell 4 percent to $83.3
billion, according to the most re-
cent data from S&P Indices.
Investors tend to like stock
buybacks because they take
shares off the market, which
means a companys earnings
gets dividend among fewer
shares.
This screen shows compa-
nies that made the biggest re-
purchases. Exxon Mobil (XOM)
bought back $5.7 billion of its
own stock during the first quar-
ter, more than any other com-
pany in the index. Another no-
table purchaser was AT&T (T),
which repurchased $2.1 billion.
It was the telecoms first major
quarter of buybacks since the
second quarter of 2008, when
it repurchased $2 billion.

Interest rates remain low
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note continues
to bump along around 1.6 percent, down by nearly
half from 3.1 percent a year ago. Lower Treasury
yields have pulled down rates on various con-
sumer savings accounts and loans, such as mort-
gage rates. The average rate on a 30-year fixed
mortgage held at its record low last week of 3.66
percent. A year ago, it was 4.51 percent.

But a falling market isnt neces-
sarily bad. It can present great
opportunities, when stock in many
great companies is suddenly on
sale. If youre 20 years away from
retirement, for example, how much
does it really matter that your hold-
ings fell 2 percent this week? What
really matters is how theyre valued
in 20 years, or whenever you want
to sell them. The prices at which
you buy and sell are the only ones
that give you a profit or loss. As
superinvestor Warren Buffett has
explained, if youre going to be
buying more shares of stocks in the
coming years, you should be happy
to see falling prices.
Money you expect to need in the
coming few years, though, should
not be in stocks, where anything
can happen in the short term.
Investors err when they succumb
to fear or greed. They buy or hold
on to overvalued stocks out of
greed, and they sell in a panic when
stocks fall. Dont do that. Expect
healthy stocks to fall sometimes and
to recover eventually. The stock
market may be volatile, but over
long periods, its trend has been up.

A Hefty Dividend
to Consider
If youre in the market for a solid
dividend payer, consider Annaly
Capital Management (NYSE:
NLY), which recently sported a
yield of 13 percent.
Annaly is a mortgage REIT (real
estate investment trust), profiting
from the difference between the
rate at which it borrows, which is
currently near a record low, and the
rate at which it re-lends.
Like its peers, which also invest
in mortgages, it enhances its returns
by working with borrowed money.
That carries some risk, since rapidly
rising interest rates can throw a
wrench into the process.
One attractive feature of Annaly is
that its been reducing its debt. That
can dampen the dividend it pays its
shareholders, but probably not by a
lot. The companys free cash flow
generation has been strong.
Annaly and its peers may be less
compelling when interest rates rise,
but the Federal Reserve has said
that it expects to keep rates low at
least through most of 2014. Thus,
a few more years of double-digit
dividend yields seem quite possible,
though theyre far from guaranteed.
Annaly doesnt fit the typi-
cal mold of dividend stocks, as it
doesnt have set payouts. They can
rise and fall from quarter to quar-
ter. Still, it does have a history of
outperforming inflation and appears
to be a safer mortgage REIT than
most of its peers.

Sambos Implosion
Growing up, I witnessed my
dads great success as an invest-
ment banker and knew friends
came to him for investment
advice. More than 30 years
ago, when I was in my late
20s, I begged him for a
stock tip. He resisted strongly
as he didnt want to be respon-
sible if it didnt work out. But he
finally gave in.
The company he recommended
was Sambos. My first-ever stock
purchase was 100 shares at $4
per share. It wasnt long after that
purchase that the company went
bust. My dad had lots of personal
stock-investing success outside
of the Sambos mistake. K.S.,
Register, Ga.
The Fool Responds: Your suc-
cessful dad is a perfect example
of a seasoned investor they all
have both winners and losers in
their portfolios past. The key is
simply to keep learning, from your
mistakes as well as from books and
smarter investors, so that your win-
ners more than make up for your
losers. Its fine to get tips from
others, but always do your own
research too, so that you make your
own informed decision.

Stock Prices
Matter
Q
Whats wrong with buying
overvalued stock in a great
company, as long as the price
eventually rises? S.L.,
Bradenton, Fla.
A
It may not rise. Youre right
to think of the long run, but
the price you buy at matters, too.
Imagine McDonald Farms Inc.
(ticker: EIEIO), trading at $10 per
share. If its expected to grow at
12 percent per year for the next 10
years, it should trade around $31
per share in a decade.
If you buy it at $10 per
share, your total gain over the
decade will be 210 percent.
However, if you have to pay
$15 per share for it now, it will
return only a total of 107 percent
on its way to $31. Thats about
7.6 percent per year.
Worse still would be buying it
at $20 per share. Sure, youd make
money, but your total gain would
be just 55 percent, or roughly 4.5
percent annually.
Making matters worse, EIEIO
might not perform as well as
expected. Buying at steep prices
offers little margin of safety.

The market may seem to

made up of thousands of compa-
nies stocks, each of which goes
up and down according to what
millions of investors think of it.
If, often due to some news,
there are more buyers than sell-
ers, a stocks price will likely
rise and vice versa.

Dealing With a
Volatile Market
The stock market doesnt just sit
there, slowly rising over time. On
June 6, for example, it surged some
287 points, or 2.4 percent. (Its vital
to consider such moves in terms
of percentages 50 points might
seem like a lot until you realize its
just 0.4 percent.) On May 30, it fell
161 points, or 1.3 percent and
on Aug. 8, 2011, it dropped 635
points, or a whopping 5.6 percent!
Dont let it give you whiplash, or
lead you to make mistakes. Keep
the following thoughts in mind:
First, know that the Dow is an
average representing just 30 com-
panies out of many thousands on

DEAR MITT Romney:
I was pleased to hear
that you have accept-
ed an invitation to
speak in July before
the 103rd convention
of the NAACP in
Houston. In antici-
pation of that event, I have taken the
liberty of writing a speech for you. Its
only a beginning, space limitations
being what they are, but it should get
you off to a solid start and you can take
it from there. So, here it is:
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for
inviting me to speak before the nations
oldest and most storied civil rights
organization. I propose not to waste
this moment by filling it with the usual
vague promises and platitudes. Instead,
I want to try something politicians
almost never try. Its called straight talk.
I am not unmindful that, because of
my party affiliation, many of you view
my presence here with a certain
amount of skepticism. Nor am I un-
aware that the Republican Party has
often seemed to go out of its way to
earn that skepticism. The examples
abound.
There was, for instance, the time in
1996 when Sen. Bob Dole refused an
invitation to speak before you, saying
your then-leader was trying to set him
up. In1994 when Jeb Bush was running
for governor of Florida, someone asked
what he would do for black voters if
elected. Probably nothing, he said.
Nor do we have to go back to the
90s to find justification for your skepti-
cism. In this very day, we see members
of my party seeking to gut the Voting
Rights Act and questioning the legality
of the Civil Rights Act. We have seen
them accused and even convicted of
voter suppression. And yes, we have
seen my party provide a haven for those
whose animus against the president is
motivated not by honest political differ-
ences, but by simple, malignant bigotry.
So yes, I am aware that my party has
done much to earn your skepticism. It
is my hope that today we can begin the
process of earning your trust. To that
end, I propose a complete reset of the
relationship between African-American
voters and the Republican Party. Today,
I serve notice that we intend to do
something we have not done for more
than 50 years: compete for your votes.
For far too long, the Democratic
Party has been allowed to depend on
your support while offering you little in
return. For far too long, it has gotten
away with taking you for granted, com-
manded your loyalty based on ghostly
memories of things the Kennedy broth-
ers and Lyndon Johnson did on your
behalf in the 1960s. But the last of those
men died 39 years ago and it is time
African-American voters asked the
Democrats a simple question: What
have you done for me lately?
It is not as if the Civil Rights Move-
ment ended all your problems. To the
contrary, African-Americans continue to
be discriminated against in banking,
housing and employment. You still have
unequal access to quality education and
health care.
And the justice system still betrays
you. Under the failed War on Drugs,
young men from your communities are
incarcerated at rates that are a national
scandal. In some states, they constitute
up to 90 percent of those imprisoned
for drug crimes, though they commit
less than15 percent of those crimes.
Yet, even with an African-American
man as its leader, the Democratic Party
has failed to raise this unfinished busi-
ness of the civil rights movement to the
level of a national concern. That will
change under the Romney adminis-
tration. Under the Romney adminis-
tration, we will have no higher priority
than to ensure that liberty and justice
for all means exactly that.
We will use solid, conservative prin-
ciples to achieve this goal, to attack the
inequities that still hobble African-
American people. But I promised you
more than vague promises and plat-
itudes and I meant it. Lets get specific,
then.
If I am elected, here is what I will do:

THE SUPREME
Court ruling on health
care reform was like
Palm Sunday in re-
verse: First they cruci-
fied Chief Justice
John Roberts, then,
upon his ruling, they
hauled out the palm fronds.
They would be the various pun-
dits, academics and others who let
Roberts know in advance that if his
court overturned Obamacare, he
would be re-
vealed and
remembered as
a partisan hack.
But then:
Hosanna, Eu-
reka and Praise
Jesus, Allah
and Abraham!
Roberts, a
conservative,
devout Cathol-
ic who prob-
ably doesnt
personally like
any part of this
law, sided with
the liberal wing of the court and up-
held the legislation. Cue Handels Hal-
lelujah chorus.
And the skies parted, the tides reced-
ed and climate change became a side-
bar to the blessings of Roberts bril-
liance. Now we pause to caffeinate.
What follows is a bit complicated, as
bureaucracies would have it.
First, lets be clear: All arguments
that the court is a far-right cudgel ho-
vering over our delightful, evenhanded,
fair-minded, nonpartisan democratic
Republic are off the table. And cele-
brants of the court as just and true and
lovely only when it suits their personal
agendas should put their bumper stick-
ers and sparklers in a lockbox.
Sometimes the law is what it is an
ass. By communal consent, we tolerate
outcomes that dont always suit us
because the alternative of settling
disagreements in the streets is less
appealing.
One of several ironies of Thursdays
ruling is that liberals are crowing about
winning something they didnt actually
win. Yes, the court ruled that Obama-
care is constitutional, but not on the
basis of the Commerce Clause, as pro-
posed by the Obama administration.
Instead, the court ruled that the indi-
vidual mandate to purchase insurance
falls under Congress authority to tax
and therefore is constitutional.
In other words, according to the high
court, Obamacare constitutes a tax,
which the administration and the legis-
lations authors repeatedly insisted was
not the case. It is considered a tax
because the government will tax
those Americans who decline to pur-
chase health insurance. This alone is
the reason Obamacare passed consti-
tutional muster.
Meanwhile, the Commerce Clause
remains intact, which is cause for con-
servatives to celebrate. It is not as
elastic as it might have been had the
court embraced Obamas justification
for the mandate. We will not, in fact, all
have to eat broccoli, as Justice Scalia
proposed in one of his characteristical-
ly humorous hypotheticals during oral
arguments.
And what Obama insisted was con-
stitutional was, in fact, in error. So says
the court.
Heres what else the court said.
When a tax is a tax, you have to call it a
tax. No more pretense or doublespeak
to fool or mislead people. This is a
victory for all Americans, no matter
what ones political leaning, because it
is a victory for plain speak. If we could
summarily order all politicians to say
exactly what they mean, we would all
be better off.
We also probably wouldnt have
Obamacare. If Americans had heard
from the beginning that health care
reform meant a new tax, the legislation
probably wouldnt have gone far. This
is especially so given that the tax pri-
marily will be on the backs of middle-

WASHINGTONFor
President Barack Obama
to turn his Supreme
Court victory into a
clear-cut political win
this fall, he must do
something other candi-
dates have failed to do:
make voters care that
GOP opponent Mitt
Romney once embraced
the healthcare policies he nowfiercely crit-
icizes.
If Obama cant do that, then Romney
may find it easy to fire up conservative ac-
tivists who despise what they label Oba-
macare, while also attracting moderate
voters who simply dislike it.
And the Republican will have a newanti-
tax argument, thanks to the high court.
On the policy front, Thursdays Supreme
Court decision was a huge victory for Oba-
ma. Its trickier politically, however, be-
cause the court upheld the health care law
under Congress power to tax people, a ra-
tionale that surprised many.
In essence, the five-justice majority said,
the penalty that Americans
will start paying in 2014 if
they refuse to obtain health
insurance amounts to a tax.
Obama has insisted the fee
is not a tax. He also notes that
poor people would receive
subsidies to buy insurance,
which amounts to a tax cut.
But his lawyers cited the tax-
powers argument in their Su-
preme Court appearance.
Romney and fellow Republicans imme-
diately launched a line of criticism that of-
ten has been potent: Democrats in this
case, Obama and his allies in Congress
are too eager to hike taxes.
Obamacare raises taxes on the Ameri-
can people by approximately $500 billion,
Romney said in his brief remarks.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Dem-
ocratic lawmakers to stand by your tax in-
crease or stand with us to repeal and re-
place Obamacare.

nell, R-Ky., said: The Supreme
Court has spoken. This law is a
tax.
Theres a political problem
with that argument, Democrats
quickly noted. Romney, while
governor of Massachusetts, also
requiredalmost every resident to
obtain insurance or pay a fee. As
former Obama aide Neera Tan-
den put it, If you call the man-
date a tax increase, then Mitt
Romney increased taxes in Mas-
sachusetts.
That might inoculate Obama
from Romneys tax-hike accusa-
tions, if Democrats can make it
stick. But Romneys GOP pri-
mary opponents repeatedly
failed when they tried to wrap
Romneycare around his neck.
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim
Pawlenty reminded Republican
voters that Obama said that he
designed Obamacare after Rom-
neycare. Texas Gov. Rick Perry
said, I think Mitt is finally recog-
nizing that the Massachusetts
health care plan he passed is a
huge problem for him.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum
tried hardest of all. He said Rom-
neys health care legacy made
himthe worst Republican in the
country to put up against Barack
Obama.
Romney simply stuck to his
criticisms of Obamas health law
and avoided detailed discussions
of its similarities to his Massa-
chusetts initiative.
Some Democrats thinkObama
and his well-financed ally groups
will do a muchbetter job of paint-
ing Romney as a hypocrite or
flip-flopper on health care.
Romneys GOP opponents
werent exactly the most for-
midable of politicians, and they
lacked the resources to really
make it an issue on TV, Demo-
cratic strategist Doug Thornell
said. Romney is the godfather of
the individual mandate and
health reform, Thornell added,
and thus ill-positioned to lead a
fight on the issue.
Jim Kessler, co-founder of the
Democratic-leaning group Third
Way, said: The individual man-
date that Romney invented in
Massachusetts is now a tax.
Thats a real pickle for Romney.
Republicans have options.
They can have surrogates and
lawmakers carry the health care
battle against Obama, leaving
Romney as far removed as possi-
ble.
Or it may turn out that voters
dont care much about what
Romney did as a one-termgover-
nor several years ago. That
would free him to lead assaults
on Obamacare with minimum
damage.
If that happens, Thursdays
court ruling could work against
Obamas re-election hopes. Re-
cent AP-GfK polls have found
that more Americans oppose the
2010 health care law than sup-
port it. Opposition to the indi-
vidual mandate it would re-
quire most people to get insur-
ance or pay a fee was even
deeper in a March poll.
Such findings delight Republi-
can operatives. For Obama,
Thursdays ruling was probably
themost damagingof all possible
outcomes, GOP strategist Mike
McKenna said.
Identifying the mandate as a
tax shears away all of the pre-
tense, McKenna said. It will en-
ergize everyone on the right,
even those with deep reserva-
tions about Romney.
Another Republican campaign
veteran, Terry Holt, said: Oba-
ma might have his law, but the
GOP has a cause.
Obama seemed eager to avoid
the tax debate Thursday. He did
not mention taxes in his 1,200-
word speech before cameras.
The presidents allies might be
more willing to engage. If Repub-
licans insist on calling the health
insurance fee a tax, said Tanden,
who now heads the Center for
AmericanProgress, thenthe on-
ly person in America who has im-
plemented that policy is Mitt
Romney.

Identifying the mandate as a tax shears away all of the pretense, GOP strategist Mike McKenna said. It will energize everyone on the
right, even those with deep reservations about Romney. But allies of President Barack Obamas health care law like these ones cele-
brating outside the Supreme Court, are willing to engage if Republicans insist on calling the health care law a tax: then the only per-
son in America who has implemented that policy is Mitt Romney, said former Obama aide Neera Tanden.
class Americans who can least
afford it. Who else, after all, is
going to be hardest-pressed to
find extra funds to purchase in-
surance?
The Obama administration
knew this. The legislations au-
thors in Congress knew this,
which is why you might not
have heard it before the Su-
preme Court ruled. This is to
say, Obama wonthe day almost
by accident and not at all be-
cause his Commerce Clause
justifications were constitu-
tionally sound.
During oral arguments, the
taxation aspect of the mandate
was made almost as an after-
thought, according to sources
close to the action. Yet it pro-
vided the basis for the final rul-
ing. This is what Roberts appar-
ently sawas the compelling (or
perhaps convenient?) argu-
ment that led him to rule
against expectations. Congress
doesnt have the authority to
expand the Commerce Clause
to force people to buy some-
thing they dont want to buy,
but Congress does have taxing
authority.
For now, Americans cant be
forced to buy broccoli but they
will have to ante up more of
their dough either to insur-
ance companies, the real vic-
tors or to the federal govern-
ment. No wonder Roberts
looked so sad when he entered
the chamber on Thursday. He
also knows that the palm
fronds usually precede the cru-
cifixion and its only a matter of
time before his worshipers be-
come his tormentors yet again.

Editorial
The current list of offenses
which trigger forfeiture of a
public pension is not broad
enough in scope.
State Rep. Fred Keller
The Republican legislator from Snyder County is pushing a bill that
would address the fact that people such as recently convicted
pedophile Jerry Sandusky, the ex-assistant football coach, are allowed
to continue collecting pensions despite convictions for certain crimes.
ITS OFFICIAL.
Ive become a prude.
I thought this happened
only in adolescence. I
thought once you got past
those awkward teenage
years, everyone grew up
about sex.
I thought we were supposed to laugh
about how red-faced sex made us feel in
high school.
But high school was easy. I was relatively
OK in high school. Now? Now I feel about
50 miles behind.
Or, rather, Fifty Shades of Grey behind.
That book and its two follow-ups has
not only taken over the literary world, its
weekly sales numbers blow away the num-
ber of people buying even the hottest sell-
ing CDs. Millions of copies have flown off
shelves or e-book sites.
And it is all about sex.
Not your typical sex. Kinky sex. Sex with
ropes. Masks. A few devices you previously
only read about in Popular Mechanics.
And women are loving it.
I read the first Fifty Shades book. To
me, it was 120 pages of foreplay nothing
more than breathless longing followed by
a contract between the dominant and the
submissive, followed by countless pages of
erotic action best summed by the sentence,
You can DO that?
I put it down.
And I felt ... prudish.
Its not just those novels. Its everything.
Recently, several new art films opened in
town. One was called Hysteria. It followed
the invention of the vibrator. Really?
The other was called Turn Me On, Dam-
mit! which a Boston reviewer described as
a short, dry, nicely observed comedy about
a girl and her hormones. In the film, the
teenage star fantasizes about sex with just
about everybody. Does this leave the re-
viewer shocked or embarrassed? No. In-
stead he writes, Whats refreshing ... is how
direct the girls are. They use the coarse
names for penis that everybody else does.
Well, then. Theres your Oscar.
The fact that a reviewer even uses the
p-word in a newspaper leaves me feeling
awkward. Thats how behind I apparently
am. I dont even like saying behind.
Even flipping through TV channels isnt
safe. You can innocently hit upon Cath-
ouse, or Real Sex, or Girls and thats
just on HBO, the cool channel you are sup-
posed to watch if youre a mature American
adult. Except that Cathouse and Real
Sex speak for themselves, and Girls
which critics again hail as brilliant was so
depressing in how bland and blas the casu-
al sex is that it left me feeling as if I were
raised on another planet.
And thats the thing, isnt it? Im not tell-
ing people how to behave about sex. Its not
my business. Im just asking, when did I fall
so far behind? When did all this stuff be-
come so front and center? Or frontal and
center?
There was a recent ABC show Dont
Trust The B in Apartment 23 (The
name is enough, right?). It opened with the
lead actress stealing her roommates boy-
friend and having sex with him on a birth-
day cake. This was before the first commer-
cial.
And its a comedy. On network TV.
When it comes to sex, what once was
hidden is broadly in the open. What once
you didnt talk about, now you can read in a
movie review. Modesty is a lost word. If
there isnt some shock involved, it isnt
worth doing anymore.
I never thought, as a child of the 60s,
that Id reach an era where I wanted to say,
Whoa, slow down, but it has happened. I
want a little less p-word, a little less v-word,
a little more mystery and a lot less detail.
This no doubt makes me uncool, out of it,
no longer in vogue, whatever. Thats OK. I
have a feeling I am not the only one. In fact,
maybe there is unity in embarrassment and
blushing.
If so, I might even write a bestseller.
Ill call it Fifty Shades of Red.

ACTIVE DUTY female
aviators were on hand at
the U.S. State Department
in recognition of Womens
History Month this spring
when Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton announced
an upcoming expedition to unravel the
perplexing mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of a twin-engine plane over the
South Pacific flown by aviator Amelia
Earhart.
Earhart was the first woman to fly across
the Atlantic Ocean, leaving Harbour Grace,
Newfoundland in her single-engine Lock-
heed Vega on the morning of May 20, 1932
and arriving safely outside Londonderry,
Ireland 14 hours and 56 minutes later.
The 16th woman to obtain a pilots li-
cense (No. 6017), Earhart was the first to
reach an altitude of 18,000 feet, the first to
fly Hawaii to California and the first to fly
cross-country.
In 1936, with the assistance of her em-
ployer Purdue University, Earhart pur-
chased a Lockheed twin-engine Electra
Model 10E Special the most advanced
aircraft in production to attempt a cir-
cumnavigation of the globe, west to east,
via a record-setting route along the equator
of 30,000 miles.
Airborne above Miami, Fla., in June 1937
and accompanied by her navigator Fred
Noonan, Earhart would cross the Atlantic
once again on her way to South America,
Africa, India, Australia and, by June 29,
touch down in Lea, New Guinea.
Her flight plans final leg began early on
July 2. It took Earhart out over the Pacific
Ocean with a refueling stop on the 450-acre
uninhabited Howland Island (2,000 miles
southwest of Honolulu), then on to Hawaii,
the American mainland and home.
Hours later, following intermittent radio
transmissions to the Coast Guard Cutter
Itasca awaiting her arrival near Howland
Island, Earhart and her Lockheed Electra
disappeared 75 years ago on Monday.
Amelia Earhart was 39.
A massive search-and-rescue mission,
which included the aircraft carrier Lexing-
ton and the battleship Colorado, was im-
mediately undertaken. At the time it was
the largest and most expensive air and sea
effort of its kind in U.S. history.
Tomorrow we will try again.
The International Group for Historic
Aircraft Recovery, or TIGHAR, under the
leadership of Ric Gillespie will depart
Honolulu at 8 a.m. aboard the University of
Hawaiis magnificent 223-foot ocean-
ographic research ship Kaimikai-O-Kana-
loa, K-O-K for short.
This enormous underwater project is
funded by private donations from individu-
als, foundations and corporations such as
Lockheed-Martin and Federal Express, the
latter of which transported 27,000 pounds
of technology 22,000 miles to support the
expedition, according to a related website.
Joining TIGHAR on board will be Phoe-
nix International, billed as the U.S. Navys
primary contractor for deep ocean search
and recovery and a film crew shooting a
two-hour documentary for the Discovery
Channel.
Interestingly, Gillespies team will sail
past Howland Island to a point 300 miles
farther south where he believes Earhart,
low on fuel and out of time, touched down
on the flat reef of an uninhabited atoll
called Nikumaroro Island, and where she
may have survived for a number of days.
Visit tighar.org and monitor the entire
26-day mission to conduct a thorough
search of the underwater reef slope off the
west end of Nikumaroro for surviving
wreckage from Amelia Earharts Lockheed
Electra.
Gillespies long-held theory that Ear-
harts flying laboratory landed safely but
was soon washed out to sea is based on
aerial photographs, pieces of aluminum
and rivets recovered on Nikumaroro simi-
lar to those used by Lockheed, the remains
of a womans shoe similar to Earharts
(though a size larger) and old native tales
of campfire ashes, bones, and turtle and
clam shells situated to catch precious rain
drops.
Courage is the price that
Life exacts for granting peace.
The soul that knows it not
Knows no release from little things:
Knows not the livid loneliness of fear,
Nor mountain heights
Where bitter joy can hear the sound of
wings.

OUR Pennsylvania
lawmakers last week
approved a nearly $28
billionbudget without
their traditional early-summer
deadlocking and deadline-
breaking, which sounds like an
improvement over past years.
Except
the priorities of this Re-
publican-controlled General
Assembly appear to favor busi-
ness owners who collectively
are in line for hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars in tax reduc-
tions at the expense of the
states poor people who line
up at homeless shelters and
food banks.
One notable exception: The
states 2012-13 budget boosts
funding for health care for low-
income individuals.
Gov. Tom Corbett up-
holds his no new tax pledge
in this budget, but, once again,
indirectly socks it to many of
the states property owners.
Theywill payhigher taxbills to
local school districts, including
Wyoming Valley West, Lake-
Lehman and Pittston Area, be-
cause the state wont cough up
more bucks to fund education.
Corbett insists that school
board members can find ways
tofurther reducetheir districts
expenses. But theboards either
cant or wont.
this budget continues to
supply generous salaries (of
more than $82,000 per year)
andbenefits to253members of
the House and Senate, the sec-
ond-largest legislature in the
land. They are soon due for au-
tomatic pay raises.
Plus, taxpayers pony up to
pay for all the lawmakers staff-

one estimate, could be cut by

this budget, as usual,
provides only a one-year out-
look for departments andagen-
cies that rely on state dollars. A
central piece of Corbetts cam-
paign for governor called for
switching to a biennial, or two-
year, budget. The candidate
claimed this reformwould pro-
videfor morepredictabilityand
government accountability.
So far, however, lawmakers
dont seem inclined to change
their budgeting pattern, which
would require a constitutional
amendment.
people like you, if incon-
trol of the states spending,
probably could find ways to
save cash. How much money,
for instance, is spent to contin-
ually cut the grass on Pennsyl-
vanias highway medians,
which just as easily could be
planted with flowers, trees or,
perhaps, solar panels?
Granted, for the second year
in a row, your lawmakers deliv-
ered a state budget on time.
But that doesnt mean its on
target.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
W
ITH A historic
and just decision
from the U.S. Su-
preme Court, the
nationThursdaymovedagiant
step closer to a health care sys-
temthat will workfor all Amer-
icans.
Though a majority of justic-
es rejected the argument that
Congress could use its power
toregulate commerce between
the states to require all Amer-
icans to purchase insurance,
Chief Justice John Roberts
joined with the courts four lib-
erals in deciding that the man-
date is constitutional as a kind
of tax. The law requires Amer-
icans who dont purchase in-
surance to pay a penalty.
The courts decision means
that the provisions of the Pa-
tient ProtectionandAffordable
Care Act which already have
begun to transform the health
care landscape will remain and
move forward.
Americans can count on
insurance coverage without
caps on expenses.
Insurers will not be able to
revoke policies after people be-
come sick.
Young people can remain
ontheir parents plans until age
26.
Insurance companies will
not be able to deny coverage to
children with pre-existing con-
ditions, and that protection
will soon be extended to
adults.
Republican members of
Congress and Mitt Romney,
the presumptive Republican
presidential nominee, are still
vowing to repeal the Afforda-
bleCareAct. But thecourts de-
cision strips them of their best
rationale.
The act is constitutional.
What basis can Republicans
cite for dismantling a law that
greatlybenefits Americans and
returning to a broken, costly
system?
Romney and Republicans in
Congress would do the nation
a favor by ceasing with at-
tempts to demonize health
care reform. Instead, they
should initiate bipartisan ef-
forts to build on the provisions
of the law that are designed to
make health care delivery
more effective and less expen-
sive.
Wiser states will get serious
about moving ahead with in-
surance exchanges and other
provisions called for in the act.
It is legal andlikelyheretostay.

Partisan gridlock
killing economy
T
he gridlock that rush-hour
drivers encounter on the
Washington, D.C., beltway
is nothing compared to the
gridlock that goes on inside
the U.S. Capitol.
Few people, save the most
blindly loyal Obama support-
ers, would argue that the
presidents economic policies
have done anything but make
our economy worse. Further-
more, the Obama adminis-
trations regulations are de-
stroying small businesses, an
economic sector whose
growth is a key component of
Americas economic recovery.
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta,
R-Hazleton, has a plan to fix
our nations economy, but
partisan gridlock has impeded
progress. The House Repub-
licans, with Barlettas support
and leadership, have passed
27 job creation bills, only to
see them languish in the Dem-
ocratic-controlled Senate.
Since President Obama took
office, he has proposed more
than 3,000 regulations, a stag-
gering 95 percent increase in
the average number of com-
pleted regulations deemed
economically significant (e.g.,
annually costing the economy
at least $100 million for each
regulation). According to a
September 2010 report by the
Small Business Administra-
tion, total regulatory costs
amount to $1.75 trillion an-
nually enough money for
businesses to provide 35 mil-
lion private-sector jobs with
an annual salary of $50,000.
According to the same report,
small businesses which have
created 64 percent of all new
jobs in the past 15 years face
an annual regulatory cost of
$10,585 per employee, which
is 36 percent higher than the
regulatory costs facing large
firms. How is that fair?
President Obama and the
Senate Democrats should stop
playing politics at the expense
of Americas economic recov-
ery. Their policies havent
worked. They should get out
of the way and give Repre-
sentative Barlettas job-cre-
ation bills a chance to suc-
ceed.

Celebrate the 4th
in safe, sane way
O
n a day that is filled with
festive traditions such as
parades, barbecues, pic-
nics, baseball, outdoor parties
and events honoring our na-
tion, there is one Fourth of
July tradition that is most
identifiable fireworks.
Since 1777, fireworks have
been associated with the holi-
day. Firework shows are held
in every state, and many fam-
ilies and groups buy fireworks
for their own use. Unfortu-
nately, each year firework-
related injuries send approxi-
mately 5,000 Americans to the
emergency room with an
estimated 1,000 of those in-
juries involving the eyes. The
most frequent of these
wounds include contusions,
lacerations, debris in the eyes
and burns.
In light of these alarming
statistics, each year the Asso-
ciation for the Blind urges its
neighbors to leave fireworks
displays to the professionals.
However, if your Independ-
ence Day plans include using
fireworks, we urge you to
protect your family from hor-
rific injuries by following
some important safety tips:
Always use legal fireworks
outside.
Carefully follow the direc-
tions and never modify or
attempt to intensify pyrotech-
nics.
Have a bucket of water
and/or a hose ready at all
times.
Never attempt to relight a
dud firework. Wait 20 min-
utes before approaching and
then soak it in water.
Only adults should handle
legal fireworks, and they
should wear protective safety
glasses while ensuring that all
spectators are kept at a safe
distance.
Do not allow children
under age 12 to handle spar-
klers. Although sparklers are
legal, more injuries to young
children are caused by spar-
klers than any other type of
firework. They cause serious
burns, and the metal core can
burn and stab.
Again, the best way to pro-
tect your family is not to use
any fireworks period. Enjoy
fireworks by attending public
displays, and leave the light-
ing to the professionals.

Honor guards
efforts memorable
T
he Plains Township Amer-
ican Legions volunteer
honor guard members
deserve praise and a special
salute
I recently attended a mil-
itary funeral in Plains Town-
ship and was very impressed
with what I observed. Some
20 members of the honor
guard of Post No. 558 per-
formed their assignments with
excellence and precision at the
funeral, church and cemetery.
I watched the people who
attended on this cold, windy,
rainy and dark day, observing
the honor guard snap to atten-
tion and salute as the coffin
passed. At the playing of taps
a military tradition, more than
half of some 100 people were
crying. This is a very moving
experience that everyone
should see a least once in their
lifetime.
I have attended many funer-
als as a police officer and
elected state constable in
Luzerne, Lackawanna and
other counties. This funeral
rated one of the best-orga-
nized funerals I had the plea-
sure of attending.
I congratulate the officer in
charge and every member of
that honor guard and other
honor guard members every-
where for what they do.
Remember, everyone appre-
ciates what you do as a volun-
teer and a veteran. Im sure
you will be rewarded someday
by someone higher than us.

V I E W S
ITS THE
judiciarys
Nixon-to-
China: Chief
Justice John
Roberts joins
the liberal
wing of the
Supreme Court and upholds the
constitutionality of Obama-
care. How? By pulling off one
of the great constitutional fi-
nesses of all time. He managed
to uphold the central conserva-
tive argument against Obama-
care, while at the same time
finding a narrowdefinitional
dodge to uphold the law and
thus prevented the court from
being seen as having overturn-
ed, presumably on political
grounds, the signature legisla-
tion of this administration.
Why did he do it? Because he
carries two identities. Jurispru-
dentially, he is a constitutional
conservative. Institutionally, he
is chief justice and sees himself
as uniquely entrusted with the
custodianship of the courts
legitimacy, reputation and
stature.
As a conservative, he is as
appalled as his conservative
colleagues by the adminis-
trations central argument that
Obamacares individual man-
date is a proper exercise of its
authority to regulate com-
merce.
That makes congressional
power effectively unlimited.
Mr. Jones is not a purchaser of
health insurance. Mr. Jones has
therefore manifestly not en-
tered into any commerce. Yet
Congress tells himhe must buy
health insurance on the
grounds that it is regulating
commerce. If government can
do that under the Commerce
Clause, what can it not do?
The Framers ... gave Con-
gress the power to regulate
commerce, not to compel it,
writes Roberts. Otherwise you
undermine the principle that
the Federal Government is a
government of limited and
enumerated powers.
Thats Roberts, philosophical
conservative. But he lives in
uneasy coexistence with Ro-
berts, custodian of the court,
acutely aware that the judi-
ciarys arrogation of power has
eroded the esteemin which it
was once held. Most of this
arrogation occurred under the
liberal Warren and Burger
courts, most egregiously with
Roe v. Wade, which willfully
struck down the duly passed
abortion laws of 46 states.
More recently, however, few
decisions have occasioned more
bitterness and rancor than Bush
v. Gore, a 5-4 decision split
along ideological lines. It was
seen by many (principally, of
course, on the left) as a political
act disguised as jurisprudence
and designed to alter the course
of the single most consequen-
tial political act of a democracy
the election of a president.
Roberts seems determined
that there be no recurrence
with Obamacare. Hence his
straining in his Obamacare
ruling to avoid a similar result
a 5-4 decision split along ide-
ological lines that might be
perceived as partisan and politi-
cal.
National health care is clearly
the most significant piece of
social legislation in decades.
Roberts concern was that the
court do everything it could to
avoid being seen, rightly or
wrongly, as high-handedly
overturning sweeping legisla-
tion passed by both houses of
Congress and signed by the
president.
Howto reconcile the two
imperatives one philosophical
and the other institutional?
Assign yourself the task of
writing the majority opinion.
Find the ultimate finesse that
manages to uphold the law, but
only on the most narrowof
grounds interpreting the
individual mandate as merely a
tax, something generally within
the power of Congress.
Result? The lawstands, thus
obviating any charge that a
partisan court overturned duly
passed legislation. And yet at
the same time the Commerce
Clause is reined in. By denying
that it could justify the imposi-
tion of an individual mandate,
Roberts draws the line against
the inexorable decades-old
expansion of congressional
power under the Commerce
Clause fig leaf.
Lawupheld, Supreme Courts
reputation for neutrality main-
tained. Commerce Clause con-
tained, constitutional principle
of enumerated powers reaf-
firmed.
Thats not howI would have
ruled. I think the mandate is
merely a tax argument is a
dodge, and a flimsy one at that.
(The tax is obviously puni-
tive, regulatory and intended to
compel.) Perhaps thats not
howRoberts would have ruled
had he been just an associate
justice, and not the chief. But
thats howhe did rule.
Obamacare is nowessen-
tially upheld. Theres only one
way it can be overturned. The
same way it was passed elect a
newpresident and a newCon-
gress. Thats undoubtedly what
Roberts is saying: Your job, not
mine. I wont make it easy for
you.

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Pete G. Wilcox
and words by Mark E. Jones
I WONDER
about the
motivation of
conservatives,
especially the
new Tea-
vangelical
bunch that the
country elected to a large
majority in the U.S. House of
Representatives in 2010, halt-
ing the Obama administration
in its proverbial tracks.
They whine about spend-
ing on everything: teachers,
unions, cops, firefighters,
women, gays, Medicare, Oba-
macare, Head Start, the EPA.
The list is endless. But they
are curiously silent on defense
spending.
Its like a blind spot in the
Teavangelical rearview mir-
ror. They dont seem to see
military spending as govern-
ment spending.
Yet, the United States
spends about as much on de-
fense as the rest of the world
combined. According to 2010
figures, we are responsible for
41 percent of the world total,
distantly followed by China
(8.2 percent), Russia (4.1 per-
cent), the United Kingdom
and France (both 3.6 percent).
And Republican presidential
candidate Mitt Romney gives
every indication that he would
increase that share.
Isnt it always the chicken
hawks who are the ones call-
ing for more military spending
and more war?
Romney, with four defer-
ments from Vietnam, places a
close second to the greatest
chicken hawk of them all,
former Vice President Dick
Cheney, who had five defer-
ments. And the Mittster has
the gall to say that he wished
he had gone to war.
What was stopping you,
Mitt?
Cheney, of course, ruled
over an empire of defense
contracting companies, turn-
ing his beloved Halliburton
into a true invader of Iraq and
our wallets. And it was expen-
sive.
According to Joseph Sti-
glitz, former chief economist
for the World Bank and a No-
bel laureate, $3 trillion is at
the low end of the cost of war
in Iraq. After factoring in
weapons and operations, fu-
ture health care costs, interest
and borrowing, Stiglitz esti-
mates the costs of Iraq and
Afghanistan to be somewhere
between $5 trillion and $7
trillion for the United States
alone. (Stiglitz is co-author
with Harvard economics pro-
fessor Linda Bilmes of The
Three Trillion Dollar War: The
True Cost of the Iraq Con-
flict.
According to Stiglitz and
Bilmes, $1 trillion could pay
for 8 million housing units,
university scholarships for 43
million students, health care
for 530 million children or the
salaries of 15 million public
school teachers in the United
States.
The administration of Ge-
orge Bush, another chicken
hawk, privatized our military
to the point where not a single
U.S. embassy today is guarded
by our Armed Forces. Private
contractors are hired.
We poured billions of dollars
into Iraq for private compa-
nies to build roads, bridges
and hospitals in that country,
while Congress apparently
couldnt find a dime for those
things on American soil.
My favorite giveaway to
corporate, chicken hawk cro-
nies was the chicken factory
we built in Iraq, which is de-
tailed by Peter Van Buren in
his book We Meant Well.
The chicken factory plucked
American taxpayers for mil-
lions of dollars and never pro-
duced a chicken.
I know all this talk about
chicken hawks and the chicken
factory is a fowl subject for a
column, but this is no yolk.
(Sorry, couldnt help myself.)
The American ruling class,
recently given a royal flush
hand by the Supreme Courts
Citizens United ruling, and
with Teavangelicals and
uninformed voters in goose-
step behind them, has initi-
ated a policy of unending war
as it cuts jobs and social
programs in the United States.
Still, President Obama re-
mains our best hope for end-
ing the lunacy of militarism
that has drained our people,
our good will and our fortune.
He has ended the Iraq War and
he will have us out of Afghan-
istan by 2014.
Maybe a little advice from a
Founding Father would help
the Teavangelicals see the
folly of their ways:
Of all the enemies to public
liberty war is, perhaps, the
most to be dreaded because it
comprises and develops the
germ of every other. War is the
parent of armies; from these
proceed debts and taxes
known instruments for bring-
ing the many under the dom-
ination of the few. No nation
could preserve its freedom in
the midst of continual warfare.

Observations, 1795

AMERICANS ARE
drawn to explore the
hidden, inner lives of
their political leaders;
the more mysterious
and complex the
better.
A new biography
Barack Obama: The Story, by David
Maraniss, taps into that drive to get
inside the heart, mind and soul of the
man leading the nation, a quest fed
partly by human curiosity a wish to
understand an interesting human
being and partly by a compulsion to
obtain special insights into the politi-
cal man.
The more we get the psychological
makeup, the more we see the demons
the man has had to wrestle, the better
we think we will understand why he
acts a particular way, why he holds
certain beliefs.
Obamas history shaped him as the
perennial other he was a dark-
skinned boy with a white mother,
raised partly by white grandparents in
Hawaii, then in Indonesia by an In-
donesian stepfather and his mother.
Later, as a young adult in California
and New York, he tried to figure out
who he was, confessing he felt like an
impostor.
He gradually made a deliberate
decision to adopt a black identity, but
also to embrace a bit of every portion
of his uncommonly wide-ranging back-
ground. Caught without a class, a
structure or tradition to support me,
in a sense the choice to take a different
path is made for me, he wrote to his
then-girlfriend Alex McNear, adding,
the only way to assuage my feelings
of isolation are to absorb all the tradi-
tions (of all the) classes; make them
mine, me theirs.
Bit by bit we see evolve the man we
see today, a little distant, charming
but reserved, able to function in any
setting with ease, but with the some-
what calculated stance of observer
more than participant; a man who
exudes the self-assurance of someone
who believes he understands all sides
better than anyone else could ever
hope to do.
By studying these frequent analyses,
blends of history and pop psychology,
we feel close to figures who have, by a
twist of history, become part of our
lives and yet remain personally un-
known and largely unknowable.
The quest to understand them is
alluring.
Each American president carries
within him a unique history. But,
unlike the rest of us, each has conquer-
ed the pinnacle of power. The formula
that produces an individual who reac-
hes the White House remains a secret,
but one most surprising ingredient
has emerged as a common element in
a series of presidencies: alcohol. Or,
more precisely, alcoholism.
In the background of all but one
American president in the last 30
years, alcoholism has figured promi-
nently, usually as the poisonous po-
tion that helped destroy father-son
bonds. Perhaps it worked by creating
effort to replace those missing bonds,
or maybe to impress the ghost of the
absent father. Or maybe it was the
product of strong maternal figures
that helped raise confident young men
who then grew up with the belief and
the emotional strength to take the top
job in the worlds most powerful na-
tion.
Obamas father, Barack Obama Sr.,
the Kenyan student who traveled to
Hawaii and met Stanley Ann Dunham,
Obamas mother, promptly disap-
peared from his sons life and eventu-
ally destroyed his own, dying in a car
crash in a haze of alcoholism.
Bill Clintons father, William Jef-
ferson Blythe, also died after a crash
three months before his son was born.
The young Bill inherited his first and
middle name, but took the last name
of the man his mother later married,
another alcoholic who abused Bills
mother.
Ronald Reagans father, Jack, as his
mother Nelle explained to him as a
child, had a sickness, Reagan wrote,
thats why my father sometimes dis-
appeared. That sickness was an
addiction to alcohol.
Coincidence? Three out of the last
five presidents had alcoholic fathers.
In the case of George W. Bush, it
was his own history of alcohol abuse
that played a role in shaping the
course of his life, which pop psycholo-
gists saw as a Shakespearean drama,
or perhaps a modern case of Oedipal
rivalry.
By this time four years ago, we al-
ready knew much more about Barack
Obama than we know today about
Mitt Romney.
Its a safe bet the psychoanalysis will
start pouring in, helping us make
sense of the successful Mormon busi-
nessman who wants to become presi-
dent; the hidden history awaits, the
more mysterious and complicated, the
better.

Parish reforms
take great efforts
I
n a recent letter to The
Times Leader from a long-
time parishioner of the
Scranton Diocese, concerns
were raised about the condi-
tions of churches in North
Wilkes-Barre and how suppos-
edly every avenue was at-
tempted to open dialogues
with the priests of the com-
bined parish and diocese rep-
resentatives, only to be met
with silence.
It is with a heavy heart that
I watched as our churches,
which we grew up in and
loved our entire lives, have
become empty buildings, left
to deteriorate, because the
diocese could not afford to
keep them open. Therefore,
churches have combined to
become new parishes, some in
need of much work.
I am not sure I understand
how the diocese chooses
which sites to close. I was a
member of Holy Trinity, in the
Heights section of Wilkes-
Barre, until a couple of years
ago, when the building, not
long after much work was
done to refurbish it, closed its
doors.
Unfortunately, we tend to
be at odds with our combined
parishes, sometimes not wel-
coming the new parishioners
or complaining when some-
thing is done at one site and
not the other. My current
parish in East End has a group
of parishioners who volun-
teered their time and worked
very hard to paint the social
hall, kitchen and lavatories.
They take care of the grounds,
and money for materials
comes out of their own pock-
ets.
I hope as good Catholics,
and Christians, we can put
aside our differences and be
more welcoming for the peo-
ple who have lost their
churches, becoming more
supportive of them and of
the priests, as they do not
want to see their buildings
close any more than we do.
We need to put more effort
into keeping our churches and
their grounds attractive, and
to come up with ideas on how
to raise money to keep the
buildings open.
Most important, we need to
attend Mass every week and
get the churches filled, so the
diocese believes we want our
buildings to remain open. I
wish with all my heart we
could go back to the days
when Masses were standing
room only and we truly loved
our parish and those in it.

U.S. immigration
policy questioned
T
his latest de facto amnesty
opens the immigration
floodgates wider. For the
past 12 months, the Obama
regime has launched a host of
new immigration regulations
and policy initiatives in pur-
suit of the Democrats publi-
cally admitted strategy to
transform the U.S. electorate
in order to further their own
political self-interests.
Last year President Obamas
political appointees an-
nounced they would no longer
pursue deportation proceed-
ings against apprehended
illegal immigrants unless they
were convicted of a serious
felony. There are more exam-
ples too numerous to mention.
The president is making an
end run around Congress,
which has sole constitutional
authority to make immigra-
tion policy, while at the same
time harming the interests of
millions of Americans. Thus,
his actions represent a chal-
lenge to the constitutional
separation of powers, and its a
dangerous precedent that is
bound to be repeated by this
and future presidents.
Congress must act decisive-
ly to block this unauthorized
amnesty.
Its important to remember
that each month 50,000 His-
panics turn 18, the legal voting
age. Thats why the president
is pandering to them. This
entire immigration fiasco
started with the passage of the
1965 Hart-Cellar Act and con-
tinued with the 1986 amnesty
legislation and 1990 law in-
creasing legal immigration by
40 percent.
Im for true immigration
reform, not comprehensive
amnesty.
If anyone else believes in
true reform, contact me at
goyankees27@yahoo.com.

Economy OK?
Are you kidding?
P
resident Obama said in
early June that the private
sector is doing fine. (On
what planet?)
Unemployment was at 8.2
percent, up from 8.1 percent a
week earlier.
If he counts the people who
fell out of the workforce and
quit looking for jobs, unem-
ployment would be in the
double digits. More like 16.5
percent or so.
People, learn the truth, not
what he wants you to hear!
Now hes blaming Congress.
The House (with its Repub-
lican majority) has sent job-
related bills to the Senate
(Democratic majority) to pass,
and they typically dont go any
further. Where were the jobs
created when the Democrats
controlled the House and
Senate for those three years?
Government jobs.
The private sector only got
regulations on jobs, over and
over.

Abortion funding
change needed
M
y purpose for advancing
the Whole Womans
Health Funding Priorities
Act (House Bill 2405) in Penn-
sylvania is to permanently end
taxpayer subsidization of the
abortion industrys ongoing
war against women and chil-
dren.
Daily, Planned Parenthood
performs an abortion in the
United States about every 95
seconds.
According to its 2010 annual
report, Americas largest abor-
tion provider performed
329,445 abortions which
accounted for 91 percent of its
pregnancy services while
prenatal care and adoption
referrals accounted for only
8.6 percent (31,098) and 0.2
percent (841), respectively.
Last year, Planned Parenthood
performed more than 16,000
abortions in Pennsylvania.
That means for every one
adoption referral, Planned
Parenthood performed 391
abortions. Even by the most
conservative estimates, abor-
tion procedures accounted for
46 percent of Planned Parent-
hoods clinic revenue.
Completely consistent with
existing state law that prohib-
its taxpayer-funded abortions,
House Bill 2405 would direct
the state Department of
Health to prioritize, not re-
duce, all available family plan-
ning funding to health care
entities that can best provide
comprehensive womens
health care.
Public entities such as
health departments would
receive the highest funding
priority, followed by non-
public hospitals and federally
qualified health centers, rural
health clinics and lastly, non-
public health providers that
can provide primary whole
woman care. Under no cir-
cumstances would the Depart-
ment of Health be permitted
to enter into any contract or
provide grants to an entity
that performs non-federally
qualified abortions.
Regardless of their positions
on abortion, Pennsylvania
taxpayers must no longer be
forced to subsidize the public
relations image of Planned
Parenthood and other abor-
tion-on-demand providers.
In reality, Planned Parent-
hood is an agency of death,
not an institution of life. Wom-
en in Pennsylvania will be
healthier and our children
safer when Planned Parent-
hood and its anti-family agen-
da is defunded through final
passage of the Whole Womans
Health Funding Priorities Act.

Caseys clean air
support praised
T
he American Lung Associ-
ation in Pennsylvania
extends its gratitude to
U.S. Sen. Robert Casey of
Scranton for defending health-
ful air by voting against a dirty
air resolution that would have
given coal-fired power plant
operators indefinite free rein
to belch unchecked volumes
of toxic pollutants such as
mercury, arsenic, formalde-
hyde and acid gases into the
air we breathe.
Toxic emissions can make
breathing difficult and can
worsen asthma, chronic ob-
structive pulmonary disease,
bronchitis and other lung
diseases. Some of them can
cause neurological and devel-
opmental birth defects, and
they can damage the repro-
ductive system and the im-
mune system. Pollutants from
coal-fired power plants also
can cause heart attacks and
strokes, lung cancer, other
cancers and premature death.
As a result of the Senates
defeat of this extreme mea-
sure heavily favored by the
coal industry, the Mercury and
Air Toxics Standards can
rightly move forward. When
fully implemented, these
standards will prevent an
estimated 4,700 heart attacks,
130,000 childhood asthma
attacks and save up to 11,000
lives nationwide every year.
Many utilities have taken
responsibility for controlling
these emissions and already
can meet these standards, but
others have yet to do so, mak-
ing the air dirtier for every-
one. All power plants nation-
wide must be held account-
able to the same standards
that other industries have
been held to for years. Instead
of letting polluters off the
hook, we should properly
reward all those utilities that
already have done the right
thing by installing stringent
controls.
The Senates action not only
helps ensure that controls of
toxic air pollution from power
plants will be put in place, but
also supports regulatory cer-
tainty for the power industry
going forward. Those out-
comes will allow everyone to
breathe a little easier.

What: Padre Peanut &the An-
gel Hankie
Author: Pamela Fries
Publisher: RoseDog Books
Pamela Fries has found com-

fort and a strong connection in
the Blessed Mother for years as
well as a way to share both with
those around her.
The 58-year-old Sugarloaf resi-
dent recently published her first
childrens book, Padre Peanut &
the Angel Hankie, but before
diving into the story, readers
must understand its spiritual
background.
When Fries was in her 30s she
encountered serious health prob-
lems, so severe she thought she
wouldnt make it. But her
strength kept up throughout her
hospital stay, owing, she says,
much to prayer and the Blessed
Mother statue outside her hospi-
tal-room window. She was even-
tuallysent home, thoughher con-
dition was still grave.
WhenI came home, I beganto
do all these creative things, the
former ballet dancer and instruc-
tor said. I began to paint pic-
tures of the Blessed Mother, ros-
es, things that had to do with Ma-
ry.
During one creative kick she
found herself fiddling with old
handkerchiefs.
I sat and folded themand real-
ized they looked like little angels.
I started making themand giving
them to family and friends, and
thats when unusual things start-
ed to happen.
Not only did those who re-
ceived the handkerchiefs have
spiritual and uplifting experienc-
es but so, too, didFries. She often
felt the presence of her grand-
mother Beatrice while making
the handkerchiefs.
One night I said out loud, Na-
na, are you helping me with
these? Well the next day when I
was out shopping with my hus-
band for more handkerchiefs I
think I got my answer.
When Fries inquired about a
stack of hankies at an antiques
shop the woman told her she had
plenty with the letter B on them,
as in Beatrice. It continued at
the next shopping stop when
Fries came upona dresser drawer
full of hankies, all of which she
purchased.
I got home and went through
them, and only one had a name
on it, she said. That name, of
course, was Beatrice.
Confident she was being guid-
ed in the right direction, Fries
continued on with her hankie
making and soon came up with

Let bohemia be
your fashion guru

McClatchy Newspapers
MCT PHOTO
A surprising print gives a
bohemian maxi dress a trendy
vibe (Charlotte Tarantola maxi
dress, $148).
Let your style lounge a little this sum-
mer. Tell your inner Anna Wintour toun-
wind, let your hair down and throwon a
frock that is naturally fashionable.
Things that are easy to wear and
comfy are back with a trendy twist,
says Megan McWhirter, store manager
of Hot Mama in Leawood, Kan. The
style is bohemian but a little bit sweet-
er.
McWhirter says popular summer
looks will be casual yet chic. The
adaptabilityof the style makes it ap-
propriate for a summer concert or
dinner out.

He just better be, she said with
a smile earlier this week as she vis-
ited Baut Studios in Swoyersville,
where a team of craftsmen worked
hard to complete the two mosaics
Dont call them windows, Bo-

ist Gerhard Baut.
Whilemanyother parishesinandaroundtheWyomingVal-
ley have closed buildings, consolidated congregations and
sold artwork, things are a bit different at SS. Peter and Paul
Ukrainian Catholic Church.
Were holding our own, church member Ron Kachinko
said.
Churchpastor theRev. RomanPetryshakgivescredit tothe
Holy Spirit for the steady population of some 170 families.
And he gives credit to Anna Bosack, a primary donor for the
new icons, which she wanted to install in memory of her
brother.
He was just a good soul. He liked his church, and he want-
ed to do what he could for them, Bosack said.
AWorld War II veteran and graduate of Kings College, her
brother lived away from North-
eastern Pennsylvania for many
years, working as an accountant
for General Electric.
But whenhedcomehometovis-
it, he loved to revisit the church.
Bosack has fond girlhood me-
mories of tendingher familys herd
of cows with her brother in the
Breslau section of Hanover Town-
ship. When he went off to military
service, she remembers he told
her, Youd better learn to drive,
andshe did, learning to handle the
stick shift so she could drive the
family dairy truck.
He was a nice older brother, she said.
Shed rather not say how much she donated for the icons,
explaining many other parishioners contributed what they
could. Shes quite pleased with the artwork, one of which
shows St. Peter holding the key to the kingdom of heaven,
while the other depicts St. Paul holding some writings.
Its theepistletotheRomans, saidGerhardBaut, whohas
a down-to-earth way of looking at the men who became
saints. One left his wife and family to followa carpenter; the
other was a contract killer who was knocked off his horse on
the way to bust up a party in Damascus.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You may feel like youre
drifting from your joy, but
a little effort and inten-
tion are all you need to
get back on track. Think of
what youve done in your
life, what you do well and
what you are passionate
about.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Youll be exposed to new
ideas. Learning is a pro-
cess. Try to explain your
newfound knowledge to a
child in a few sentences. If
you can do this, you really
understand it yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Your easy social manner is
legendary. Be careful not
to talk too much, though,
as youll be more respect-
ed for listening. Youll be
most effective by speaking
only 30 to 40 percent of
the time.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Narrow your focus. Trying
to do too much today will
be less than satisfying.
Find a tiny segment of
your grand plan and get
deeper into it. This will
give you a sense of
accomplishment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Theres something to be
gained from winning back
what was lost. Maybe its
a customer, or maybe its
a lost love. In either case,
the way back is the same:
a bold gesture that puts
the other persons needs
before yours.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Suggest a cut-off date for
the project youre work-
ing on, or it may take
over your life indefinitely.
Something about estab-
lishing a deadline will put
you in the right headspace
for a prompt, successful
ending.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Youll throw plenty of
positive energy toward
the person you like. Youll
look at this persons face
admiringly and not just
the eyes, but everything.
Infatuation can be
exhilarating.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Genuine compliments are
charming. Phony compli-
ments are manipulative.
You will know the differ-
ence and will react accord-
ingly. Also, youll give only
the most sincere words to
the ones you appreciate.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Youll make things
happen in your world by
resonating at a cheerful
emotional tone. This is
easy to do since positive
influences are all around
you. They exist because
you love to feel upbeat
and full of energy.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Youll maximize each
connection you make.
You wont even bother to
contact people unless you
feel you have something
in common with them or
that you could add to their
scene in some way that
will matter to them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Realistic goals are not
so easy to come up with
in your current ambitious
mood. Whatever you want
to accomplish, find the
halfway mark and shoot
for that milestone in the
days to come.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You like to do favors, but
taking too much onto your
plate is counterproductive
to your helping nature.
You have a strong feeling
about when you should
say no, so honor that.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July
1). You get the lucky break
you deserve this year.
This month features well-
considered financial and
lifestyle decisions. August
brings new friends, har-
monious partnerships
and shared adventures.
October shows you the
way to make more money.
Family grows in November.
Compelling new interests
crop up in January. Aries
and Virgo people adore
you. Your lucky numbers
are: 6, 23, 14, 39 and 15.

DEAR ABBY
Southern hospitality is
lacking in social circles
Dear Abby:
What is
considered
good man-
ners when
you enter
the home of
a 20-something Northerner?
Im a graduate student who
recently moved from the
South to the East Coast.
When I visit the homes of
my Northern friends, I feel
they are being rude for not
inviting me to come in and
sit down.
When visitors come to
my place, I ask if I can take
their coats, ask them to
please sit and make them-
selves comfortable and offer
something to drink. It feels
strange to enter someones
living space and not hear
these pleasantries. It also
makes me feel as if Im
imposing.
If others arrive around the
same time, I try to follow
their cues, but I still find
it uncomfortable to just
plop down and make myself
at home. Should I just get
over it?
Fish Out of Water
Dear Fish Out of Water:
If you have been invited to
someones home, then you
ARE welcome. That your
visit doesnt begin with the
customary rituals youre
used to does not mean that
your host is rude. Yes, you
should get over it. Just go
with the flow in time you
will adjust.
Dear Abby: I dont have a
car. I cant afford one at this
time. For the last two years
a friend has been doing me
a favor by taking me grocery
shopping every week. I can
(and do) take the bus to the
local grocery store, but it
makes it easier to buy things
in bulk with a car. We have
dinner, go to an occasional
movie and generally have a
good time hanging out. I
buy her dinner sometimes
as a thank-you for her great
help.
Recently, I got to meet a
group of her friends. She
introduced me to every sin-
gle person by going over
the whole history of my
not having a car, and how
she has taken me grocery
shopping every week. All
her friends began praising
her for her kindness. I was
upset and embarrassed that
rather than introduce me
as a friend she instead por-
trayed me as an object of her
charity.
I always thought she en-
joyed our get-togethers. She
used to rebuff any attempts
on my part to make our
shopping trips less frequent.
Do I suck it up for the sake
of our friendship, or do I
discontinue or curtail our
meetings?
Embarrassed in Michigan
Dear Embarrassed: What
your benefactor did was
extremely insensitive. True
acts of charity are done
anonymously. For now, my
advice is to suck it up not for
the sake of the friendship,
but to do so for the sake of
the transportation unless
you can find an alternative.
Dear Abby: When I was 15,
my mother put away a large
sum of money for me as a
college fund. A few years
later, she quit her job and
began drinking and smoking
heavily.
I have now graduated from
high school and have discov-
ered that when she quit her
job she used my college fund
to pay for her alcohol and
cigarettes.
Yes, it was her money.
But it was intended for my
education. Am I wrong to be
upset?
Disappointed Son in Fort
Gratiot, Mich.
Dear Disappointed Son: Of
course youre not wrong to
be upset. You wouldnt be
human if you werent.
However, now that you
know the money you were
promised wont be there,
you need to start research-
ing ways to finance complet-
ing your education. A place
to begin would be your near-
est library or online.
Also, many schools allow
students to work part-time
on campus to help with the
cost of classes, so look into
that, too.

the idea for Padre Peanut & the
Angel Hankie.
I wanted to write a book in
memory of my sister that passed
away years ago. She was a real
character. I wanted the whole
family to be included.
All the characters in the book
represent someone in Fries life.
Her father, Leon De Paul, is Leon
the donkey, husband Bob is the
rabbit, son Michael Paul Fries is
the bear, and three of his sons,
Luke, Sebastian and Leo, are a
hoot owl, chipmunk and wood-
chuck. Granddaughter Victoria
Fontana is Angel V, andson-in-law
Dave is the hawk.
Just what does this cast of char-
acters get up to?
Padre Peanut (based on a priest
Fries once knew) finds that Leon
loves to go after the peanuts Padre
keeps ina sackhe carries withhim.
The problemis Leon kicks up a lot
of dust, causing Padre to sneeze
one of the most earth-shaking
sneezes anyone has heard. His
sneezes eventually put the town
and townspeople in trouble. Roofs
fall in, the church bell breaks, and
hats fly off those strolling around
outside. The only thing that can
stop this is Padres Angel Hankie,
whichhe cannot find, sohe andthe
others endeavor todosobypraying
to the Blessed Mother.
I have to include Mary in ev-
erything I do, Fries said. With
all of the stories in my life, all of
the things that have taken place,
well, shes been a major part of all
of it, all the amazing things.
Books can be ordered at Rose-
Dog.com, as well as Amazon.com.
For a limited time, Fries said,
readers canrequest anAngel Han-
kieof their ownbyemailingeither

book or angelshield@yahoo.com.

Gregorini, whose grandfather
was head of the team that made
the head of AbrahamLincoln for
the Church of St. Paul in Rome.
He also used some technology
patented by his own father, the
late Gene Baut, in 1962.
For the mosaic icons of St. Pe-
ter and St. Paul, Gerhard Baut
designedthe images, andseveral
other workers helped with the
process, from his sister Heide
Baut-Cebrick, who cut small
pieces of glass, to some young
men from the Red Rock Job
Corps who spread epoxy so vari-
ous pieces would adhere to their
proper positions.
Our students are getting real
work experience, said Mariah
Fitzgerald, the work-based learn-
ing coordinator for the Job
Corps, who was thrilled with the
arrangement.
Youre very talented, Anna
Bosack told Job Corps students
Lamar Sojourner and Kabril
Keyes as she stopped by their
work station.
This past week was crunch
time for the Baut family and
their helpers, Baut-Cebrick said,
because the mosaics needed to
be in place Friday afternoon for a
Divine Liturgy and blessing ser-
vice with Metropolitan Stefan
Soroka, Archbishop of Philadel-
phia for the Ukrainian Catholic
Church.
Lets just say thank God its
summertime and the sun is up
longer, she said.
Working on the stained-glass
mosaics which differ from
windows because they have a
backing and you cant see
through them has been a la-
bor of love, Baut-Cebrick said.
You know youre creating it
for thegreater honor andgloryof
God, she said. Just like any one
of our projects.
Members of the public are wel-
come to come to the church and
admire the artwork, Kachinko
said.
If theyd like to worship, Di-
vine Liturgy is at 8:30 a.m. on
Sundays and its in the Slavonic
language. You should come, he
said. We have a beautiful choir.

You dont go into Camden, N.J.,
unless youre uptosomething.
Otherwise, you pass over it, as
quickly as possible, to get to Phila-
delphia maybe with your feet
lifted off the floor for good mea-
sure, the way some kids do over
railroadtracks.
At night, you dont even notice
the place. Because there are very
few lights in Camden. Theyve
been smashed out or cut off or, in
author Chris Hedges view,
pinchedout bycorporate giants.
In his new book, Days of De-
struction, Days of Revolt; publish-
ed by Nation Books, the former
New York Times war correspond-
ent heads into five of Americas
sacrifice zones places he be-
lieves have been
drained of purpose and
promise by political
and corporate vam-
pires.
Wewantedtophysi-
cally show what unfet-
tered, unregulated cap-
italism did to families,
to communities, to the
environment, Hedges,
55, said the other day.
When you have no
abilitytofightback, this
is what corporate ex-
ploitationdoes toyou.
Hedges is now a co-
lumnist at Truthdig-
.com and a senior fel-
lowat TheNationInsti-
tute. But his15 years in
war zones prepared
him well to head into
the most Godforsaken
places inAmerica:
Camden, corroded by political
corruption; South Dakotas Pine
Ridge Indian Reservation, with its
legacy of poverty and drug addic-
tion; southern West Virginia,
where strip mining for coal has
stripped its people of health and
hope; Immokalee, Fla., and its
seemingly enslaved migrant work-
ers; andencampmentsof theOccu-
py movement, where Hedges be-
lieves revolutionis at hand.
The book is a primer for every
American who is overwhelmed by
the uncertainty of the stock mar-
ket, whowonderswhereAmericas
musclewent, andhowmuchheavy
liftingour kids will face.
Days is co-authored by award-
winning cartoonist and journalist
Joe Sacco, whom Hedges met in
Bosnia.
What Hedges did with words,
Sacco did in panels to great effect;
his work is placed just when you
need a break from page after page
of bleakstatistics. Inthesectionon
Camden, for example, Sacco tells
the story of the city through the
eyes of Joe Balzano, one of the few
whites whodidnt leave.
His (Saccos) ability to make
these lives visible gives this book a
punch that simple prose doesnt
do, Hedges said. And you can do
thingsthroughillustrationthatyou
can never do in a photograph. You
cancreatemovement, goinandout
of time.
The book is heavily reported in
Hedges immersion style. He went
backtotheseplacestimeandagain.
ButHedgesisabitof acontradic-
tion. He lives in Princeton, N.J.,
amid the progeny of Americans
most privileged and academias
biggestmindsandegos. Thesepeo-
ple evenhave clubs for eating.
I live in the heart of the beast,
Hedges said. It may as well be a
gated community. You dont want
totalktoanyonewholiveshere. Its
full of upper-middle-class preju-
dice.
Thereareconstant fooddrives
in Princeton, Hedges said, but as a
neighbor up the street
told him, We have to
send them food, or
theyll come here.
Hedges says that he
usesPrincetonsriches
the university li-
brary, the theater,
stores like Labyrinth
Books and easy train
access to New York
City to fortify his
fight for those less for-
tunate.
Tothat end, Hedges
was one of a group of
activists who earlier
this year sued Presi-
dent Obama and Sec-
retaryof DefenseLeon
Panetta over the Na-
tional Defense Autho-
rization Act, which
grants presidential au-
thority for indefinite
detentionwithout habeas corpus.
In May, a judge ruled that provi-
sionof the act is unconstitutional.
I thought, Why am I doing
this? Where are the law profes-
sors? The law-school deans?
Hedges said. Theyre at Harvard
having lunch, and who are they
having lunch with? Goldman
Sachs.
Hedges strong opinions and so-
cialist leanings have gotten him in
trouble. In2003, hewasreprimand-
edbyTheNewYorkTimesforpub-
licly condemning the Iraq war at a
college commencement. His crit-
ics say he twists the truth; Hedges
thrives onbeingchallenged.
Hisbookcallsfordrasticchange,
andhe sees glimmers of that inthe
Occupymovement.
Thefactthatthecorporatestate
issotone-deaf tothesufferingof ci-
tizens, thattheycanextinguishem-
ployment for thousands of Ameri-
cans and do nothing means that
there will be a reaction, Hedges
said of Occupy. It has told people
that they are not alone, it has told
themthat theycanhavepowerout-
side the political system, andit has
namedthe problem.
The movement has taken some
body blows and made mistakes
because its young, Hedges said.
But its not goingaway.
NorisHedges, whohopestocon-
tinue to cover the war here at

casualties and the weapons of the

Jodi Picoult is best known for

compelling narratives. Its a for-

In her newest, however, Picoult is
takinga different tackwiththe co-

Lines her first young-adult
novel. ThefactthatPicoultsco-au-
thor is her now16-year-olddaugh-
ter, Samantha van Leer, only
makes her childrens debut more
interesting, particularly because
its so good.
Without an explanation, read-
ers might not get beyond the first
chapter, which reads like a well-
written, if generic, fairy tale about

Page 43 is the sole page inthe book
wherePrinceOliverappearsbyhim-

Picoult and Van Leer do a won-

characters are free to wander
around and do what they want,
which is oftentimes distinctly at
odds with the roles they play for

When the book is about to open,
however, an announcement rings

Conceptually, Between the

lives toys lead when their owners
arent watching. Picoults and Van
Leers novel is executedjust as art-
fully. Employing witty banter be-
tween the characters in a fast-

mother-daughter writing team
never lets readers forget what its

The boy is Nick, who grew up in a Mis-
sissippi River town in Missouri and became
a magazine writer in New York, where he
meets the blond, beautiful and bright Amy.
The mystery unfolds in dueling chapters,
one fromNicks point of view, thenone from

Gone Girl enteredThe NewYork Times
bestseller hardcover fiction list at No. 2 for
the weekof June 24andearneda top-10spot
on Amazons Top 100 list.
Critics love it, too. People magazine gave it
four stars, and Publishers Weekly called it
compulsively readable, creepily unforgetta-
lation.
I wanted to kind of play with the oppo-
site of that, which is what happens when
you choose to combine lives with someone.

Her novel also tells the story of now:

who have lost their jobs.
I wanted the whole thing to feel bank-

a marriage that had been hollowed out in a
citythat hadbeenhollowedout anda country
that was increasingly hollowed out.
The result, Peters said, is a novel that
shows Flynn is more concerned with the
why of the crime rather than the how of
the crime.
Theres a real propulsion, the way she
tell that story, Peters said. You want to
read it right through the end to see whats

bad that even a blanket on them would be painful. It limited me

MILWAUKEE Beer is
still a big deal in Milwaukee
despite the fact that most of
the large breweries that once
called it home have long since
moved elsewhere.
There are restaurants that
brew their own beer, beer gar-
dens (which are patios on
which to drink beer), beer
tastings and brewery tours.
How could some of the free
things in the city NOT be re-
lated to beer? Believe it or
not, there are a few other fun
things as well.
MILLER BREWERY TOUR:
The indoor and outdoor
guided walking tour offers
sights of the high-speed pack-
aging lines, the shipping dis-
tribution center with typically
a half-million cases of beer, a
cave where beer was stored
before mechanical refrigera-
tion and the brew house.
Theres also a replica of the
Plank Road Brewery, what
Frederick Miller originally
purchased and later turned in-
to Miller. And of course, you
get free beer at the end. Visit:

of Milwaukees south side is
the resting place of some of
the citys founders like By-
ron Kilbourn but its also
where you can find some who
built Milwaukees beer king-
dom. The cemetery lists six
beer barons, including Jacob
Best who founded Pabst
Brewery, Pabsts namesake
Frederic Pabst, and Valentin
Blatz, who produced Blatz
beer until it was sold to Pabst
Brewing Co in 1959. Heres

MILWAUKEE RIVERWALK
FEATURING THE BRONZE
FONZ:
It spans nearly three miles
along the Milwaukee River,
running from the East Side,
through downtown and into
the Third Ward neighbor-
hood. It goes past the Bronze
Fonz, erected in 2008 when
most of the cast of Happy
Days, including The Fonz
Henry Winkler, came to Mil-
waukee for the dedication.
Though no scenes were film-
ed in Milwaukee, Happy
Days took place in Milwau-
kee during its TV run from
1974 to 1984. Winkler has
been known to stop by the
statue when visiting Milwau-
kee, so if youre lucky you
might run into both versions
of Arthur Fonzarelli. Theres
also 4-foot bronze statue of
Gertie the Duck and her
hatchlings along the Wiscon-
sin Avenue bridge. She won
worldwide fame in the 1940s,
as she was trying to care for
her ducklings atop a hol-
lowed-out piling in the river.
ST. JOAN OF ARC
CHAPEL:
Originally known as the
Chapelle de St. Martin de Say-
ssuel, it sat in the Rhone Riv-
er Valley in the village of
Chasse in France for at least
500 years. Its said that Joan
of Arc prayed before a statue
of Our Lady standing on a
stone and at the end kissed
the stone, which was said to
be colder than the stones sur-
rounding it. The stone has
since been added to the chap-
el. A railroad magnates
daughter acquired the chapel
in 1926, and it was brought,
stone by stone, to Long Is-
land, N.Y. It was later passed
to the estate of a couple who
donated it to Marquette Uni-
versity in 1964. It was disman-
tled once again and a fleet of
trucks, each truck carrying
40,000 pounds, brought the
chapel stones to Milwaukee.
It was reconstructed on cam-
pus and dedicated to St. Joan
of Arc in 1966. The school
says its the only medieval
structure in North and South
America still used for its orig-
inal purpose. Find more infor-
mation here: http://

MILWAUKEES
LAKEFRONT:
Start on the south end of
Lincoln Memorial Drive
around noon and watch the
wings of the Milwaukee Art
Museum, designed by famous
architect Santiago Calatrava,
close and reopen. About two
miles north, theres Bradford
Beach, where you can watch
volleyball, stroll along the wa-
ter or catch rays. About a mile
north of that is Lake Park,
overlooking the lake, de-
signed by Frederick Law
Olmsted. Hes the founder of
landscape architecture and al-
so the designer of New York
Citys Central Park. You also
might catch lawn-bowling
clubs competing in the sum-
mer or take a walk past the
North Point Lighthouse, built
in 1855 and known to be the
only lighthouse thats in an
Olmsted urban park.

The St. Joan of Arc Chapel in Milwaukee, dedicated to the French saint, was donated to Marquette University in the 1960s, after remaining
in France for more than 500 years. It is the only medieval structure in North and South America still used for its original purpose.

City offers attractions and beers
that wont cost you a dime
Miller brewery worker Steve Greene looks over cans at Miller Brew-
ing Company in Milwaukee. The brewery offers an indoor and outdoor
guided walking tour with sights of the high-speed packaging lines
and the shipping distribution center with typically a half million
cases of beer, and you can even have a free cold one at the end.
Actor Henry Winkler poses with
a bronze statue of Arthur The
Fonz Fonzarelli at an unveiling
in Milwaukee. The statue can be
seen along the riverwalk, which
spans nearly three miles along
the Milwaukee River.

Find a lovely home. Check. Set it on a
large lot with a great pool and patio for
entertaining. Check. Spend your sum-
mer enjoying your new home and the
amazing view it offers of the surrounding
countryside. Check.
Listed for $365,000 by Pat Guesto of
Century 21 Signature Properties, 2 Betsy
Ross Dr. in the Liberty Hills section of
Hanover Twp. might just be the home
of your dreams. Offering 2,777 square
feet of space, the highlights here are
many, but a favorite is sure to be that
the sunroom, patio and pool all share a
view of the mountains that surround the
Wyoming Valley.
This brick and stone Tudor offers
three-bedrooms, two full and two half
baths and a great open layout perfect for
year-round enjoyment. A three-season
sunroom overlooks the pool. The lower
level includes a fun and functional family
room with a full wall of built-ins and a
wet bar.
The lot measures approximately 125-
by-115 and provides plenty of mature
landscaping. A natural stone arch frames
the front porch and leads into a parquet
foyer. Coat closets ank the front door
and an open staircase leads to the second
oor.
To the right, the living room measures
16-by-11 and offers light blue carpeting,
pale pink walls and two oor-to-ceiling
windows to the front.
A left off the foyer takes you to the
19-by-11 dining room. There is blue
carpeting here as well, along with a large
bay window facing front. A door to the
rear takes you to the adjacent 19-by-11
kitchen. Featuring cream vinyl ooring
and tan and black speckled granite coun-
tertops that accent oak cabinets, here
is plenty of countertop workspace and
cabinet storage for even the most dis-
cerning cook. A double window brings in
natural light and the adjacent breakfast
room offers its own garden window. Ap-
pliances include a stove, dishwasher and
microwave.
A nearby laundry/mud room offers
washer and dryer hook-ups, a rear
door, and a door to the attached two-car
garage.
A powder room, also off the kitchen,
features a tan vinyl oor, an oak vanity
with cream laminate countertop, and
single window rear. A rst oor family
room measures a comfortable 16-by-10
and is the perfect place to relax, with tan
