LOGANO GETS POLE
Joey Logano has won the
pole at Pocono Raceway.
He turned a lap of 172.055
mph Saturday to win his
second pole of the season.
There was speculation
Logano
would
have
been
replaced
in the No.

Carl Ed-
wards
decided
to join Joe Gibbs Racing.
Instead, Edwards stayed
with Roush Fenway Racing
and Logano appears se-
cure in his car.

HAZLE TWP. – Executives
of Eagle Rock Resort say that
increased foreclosures are be-
ing offset by sales that are ex-
ceeding expectations at the
gated community outside Ha-
zleton.
Eagle Rock, the only resort
community in Luzerne County
that offers a wide range of
amenities such as golf, skiing,
horseback riding, swimming
and boating, has seen foreclo-
sures on mortgages for land
sales increase exponentially
over the last few years. But
that’s only half the story, offi-
cials say.
“It’s not out of line with
how many new owners we’ve
added,” said Wallace Layton,
senior sales manager for the
development.
And, for many Eagle Rock
residents, owning a home
there has made more econom-
ic sense than trying to main-
tain their previous places of
residence.
Patricia Pedersen and her
husband, Richard, bought a
townhome at the resort about
20 years ago to use as a sum-
mer vacation home when they
were still living in the New
York metropolitan area.
“When we were ready to re-
tire, we decided to sell our
place on Long Island and
move here because it’s more
affordable,” Pedersen said.
Fortunately, the Pedersens
bought their property long be-
fore the national economy
tanked. Others have not been
so lucky.
A Times Leader review of all
foreclosures the company filed
with the Luzerne County proth-
onotary showed the numbers
doubled each year between
2005 and 2009, when 91 were
filed.

Stack Bowers, of Double Diamond Resorts, calls Eagle Rock
Resort a success story.
KABUL, Afghanistan — Insur-
gents shot down a U.S. military
helicopter during fighting in east-
ern Afghanistan, killing 30 Amer-
icans, most of them belonging to
the same elite Navy SEALs unit
that killed Osama bin Laden, as
well as sevenAfghancommandos,
U.S. officials said Saturday. It was
the deadliest single loss for Amer-
ican forces in the decade-old war.
The downing was a stinging
blow to the lauded, tight-knit
SEAL Team 6,
months after its
crowning
achievement. It
was alsoa heavy
setback for the
U.S.-led coali-
tion as it begins
to draw down
thousands of
combat troops
fighting what
has become an
increasingly
costly and un-
popular war.
None of the
22SEALperson-
nel killed in the
crash were part
of the team that
killed bin Laden
in a May raid in
Pakistan, but
they belonged
tothesameunit.
Their deploy-
ment in the raid
in which the hel-
icopter crashed would suggest
that the target was a high-ranking
insurgent figure.
Special operations forces, in-
cluding the SEALs and others,
have been at the forefront in the
stepped up strategy of taking out
key insurgent leaders in targeted
raids, and they will be relied on
even more as regular troops pull
out.
The strike is also likely to boost
the morale of the Taliban in a key
province that controls a strategic
approachtothecapital Kabul. The
Taliban claimed they downed the
helicopter with a rocket while it
was taking part in a raid on a
house where insurgents were
gathered in the province of
Darkest
of days
for elite
SEAL 6
Many from the unit that killed
bin Laden are among those
dead in copter attack.

Another growingchallengefor
lawenforcement is anincreasing
number of drivers operating ve-
hicles while high on drugs.
State arrest statistics of driv-
ers charged with operating a ve-
hicle while under the influence
of drugs have more thandoubled
since 2004 in Pennsylvania.
In Luzerne County, statistics
are not kept for driving high, but
a prosecutor said those types of
cases are becoming more fre-
quent.
“We’ve seen an increase of
drugs, people driving under the
influence of drugs,” Assistant
District Attorney Michael
Vough said after the arraign-
ment last week of Karen
McCann, who is charged with
killing a landscaper with her ve-
hicle while she was under the in-
fluence of cocaine and prescrip-
tion drugs.
State Uniform Crime Report
statistics showthere were11,808
arrests for driving under the in-
fluence of a drugin2010, making
up22.6 percent of all DUI arrests
last year.
In 2004, there were 5,529 ar-
rests for driving impaired by a
drug, or 12.3 percent.
Training lacking
Withtherisingrateof drugim-
paired drivers, there are no mu-
nicipal police officers in Luzerne
County who are certified as drug
recognition experts, according
to George Geisler Jr. of the PA
DUI Association.
A certified drug recognition
expert can easily determine
when an individual has been
driving under the influence of
drugs and to identify the type of
drug causing the impairment.
“The challenging part for Lu-
zerne County is there are so
many part-time officers who
workinsomanydifferent depart-
ments,” Geisler said. “It’s chal-
lenging to get themin training.”
Geisler plans to schedule
training seminars with assist-
ance from Catholic Social Ser-
vices in 2012 to train municipal
police and probation officers in
Luzerne County as drug recog-
nition experts.
Currently, astatepolicetroop-
er based at the Hazleton bar-
racks is the only drug recogni-
tion expert in Luzerne County.
“DUI is a dynamic field that is
always changing,” Geisler said.
“Every police officer should
know what a drunk looks like,
but not everybody knows what a
drug impaired driver looks like.”
Last week in Luzerne County,
charges were separately filed
against two people on driving
while impaired by drugs.
Drug-impaired drivers skyrocketing problem
Incidence of drug charges
against drivers has more than
doubled in state since 2004.

POLICE BLOTTER
WILKES-BARRE – Heavy,
steady showers Saturday
soaked the region, flooding
roadways and basements.
Police and public works de-
partments reported water pool-
ing on roads from Newport
Township to Kingston Town-
ship and Kingston.
Today could be a repeat, ac-
cording to Jim Brewster, a ser-
vice hydrologist with the Na-
tional Weather Service in Bing-
hamton, N.Y.
The rainfall is expected to be
“equally as heavy but brief,” he
said.
Over a 13-hour period, 2.83
inches of rain fell at the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton International
Airport, said Brewster.
“This came out of the Mid-
west. The air mass coming up
from the Gulf of Mexico is trop-
ical in nature,” he explained.
A band of rain showers
stretched from Hawley and Ho-
nesdale to Scranton and Avoca
and the Wyoming Valley.
The heavy rain caused flood-
ing in the area of Pringle Street
and Schuyler Avenue in King-
ston. Barricades were placed in
the area to prevent motorists
from driving through the high
water, but still cars, trucks and
sport utility vehicles managed
to get through.
The rain will cause the Sus-
quehanna River to rise, but it is
in no danger of flooding.
Brewster said the river was at
1.98 feet Saturday night and
forecast to go up to 3.5 feet
early Sunday.
Flood stage in low-lying areas
is 22 feet and levees protect the
valley to a river height of 41
feet.
Rain wreaks havoc in region
Heavy rain is expected today,
but the Weather Service
expects it to be brief.

LARKSVILLE – A Kingston
woman already facing charges
she allegedly stole $107,000
from her elderly aunt was ar-
rested on suspicion of drunken
driving.
Police said Marisa Ann Har-
len struck a utility pole on Nes-
bitt Street around 3:25 a.m. Fri-
day. She said that she grabbed
her cell phone and swerved to
avoid a rabbit, according to the
police report filed by Patrol-
man Stephen Kofchak.
A receiving stolen property
charge is pending in Luzerne
County Court against Harlen,
30, of Tioga Avenue. She had
been given power of attorney
over the finances of Louise Ma-
ry Olenik and admitted taking
the money to support a gam-
bling addiction. Harlen said
she intends to pay back her
aunt.
Olenik, 82, put up her Larks-
ville house for sale and last
month held an estate sale for
her belongings because she is
no longer able to afford the
home and an around-the-clock
nurse’s aid.
Kofchak said he arrived on
the scene to find Harlen stand-
ing outside a 2010 black Lin-
coln MKZ with damage to the
right front bumper and fender.
From talking to Harlen, Kof-
chak said he observed that she
had glossy eyes and detected
an odor of alcoholic beverage
coming from her. She admitted
having two drinks at Hun’s
West Side Café, the last one
just after midnight, according
to the report.
“Harlen kept saying she was
not drunk and that I could test
her,” the report said.
She agreed to perform field
sobriety tests, but was unable
to keep her feet heel to toe
when asked to walk that way
and stopped within a few steps
of turning around, the report
said. She also was unable to
perform a preliminary breath
test because she could not pro-
vide a sufficient air sample on
several opportunities, the re-
port said.
Kofchak said he advised her
that he had enough probable
cause to place her under arrest
for suspicion of driving under
the influence of alcohol. He
took her to Wilkes-Barre Gen-
eral Hospital where blood sam-
ples were taken for analysis.
From there he took her to the
police station where she was
processed and released into the
custody of Brenda Smith, a pa-
ralegal for attorney Joseph
Yeager who is representing her
in her county court.
Police are awaiting the re-
sults of the tests done on the
blood samples.

LONDON — The gritty
north London neighborhood of
Tottenham exploded in anger
Saturday night after a young
man was shot to death by po-
lice.
Two patrol cars, a building
and a double-decker bus were
torched as rioters clashed with
officers in front of the Totten-
ham Police Station, where peo-
ple had gathered to demand
“justice” for the death of a 29-
year-old killed in an apparent
gunfight.
“It’s really bad,” said local res-
ident David Akinsanya, 46.
“There are two police cars on
fire. I’m feeling unsafe.”
Sirens could be heard across
the city as authorities rushed
reinforcements to the scene. In
Tottenham shop windows were
smashed as residents looted the
stores, pushing shopping carts
full of stolen goods down the
street.
Officers in riot gear and on
horseback pushed up against
the demonstrators. Akinsanya
put the number of demonstra-
tors at between 400 and 500.
Police said there were about
300 people gathered.
Miles from the tourist hot-

Man charged with theft
A man accused by city police of
carjacking a 17-year old male was
charged with unrelated theft charges
on Thursday.
Brian Miller, 33, was charged with
four counts of theft, and one count
each of burglary, and access device
fraud. He was arraigned Kane in
Wilkes-Barre and jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility for lack of
$13,000 bail.
City police allege Miller stole items
from his ex-girlfriend’s residence on
Kidder Street from July 4 to July 18. He
also withdrew money from her bank
account, according to the criminal
complaints.
Miller is facing robbery-related
charges for stealing a Chevrolet Lumi-
na from a 17-year old male pumping
gasoline at Turkey Hill, North Penn-
sylvania Avenue, on July 27, according
to court records.

2 charged for disturbance
A man threw his shoe at a woman
who called 911 during a disturbance
involving a knife on Lee Park Avenue
early Friday morning, township police
allege.
Police charged Frank T. Schwartz,
22, of Center Street, and Matthew E.
Fritz, 21, of Phillips Street, both in
Hanover Township, for causing the
disturbance in the area of 42 Lee Park
Ave. at about 12:20 a.m.
Police allege the two men had an
odor of alcohol while they were yelling
profanities. One of the two men picked
up a flower pot and threw it at a house.
A man inside the house went outside
and confronted Schwartz when he was
allegedly tackled by Fritz, according to
the criminal complaint.
During a struggle, police allege in
the criminal complaint Schwartz pulled
out a pocket knife with a 2-to-3-inch
blade and threatened the man. A wom-
an residing nearby went outside and
yelled at Schwartz and Fritz to leave
the area. Schwartz took off a shoe and
threw it at the woman, police allege.
Schwartz and Fritz were arraigned in
Wilkes-Barre Central Court on charges
of disorderly conduct, public drunk-
enness, harassment and criminal mis-
chief. Schwartz was further charged
with terroristic threats and simple
assault. They were released on $5,000
unsecured bail each.

For the second consecutive year, area
colleges and universities have kept a lid
on tuition increases.
The institutions, according to admin-
istrators, are trying to strike a balance
betweentheir missionof educatingarea
residents and generating enough reve-
nue to pay for the rising costs of doing
business and expanding campuses.
In an analysis of the rates for tuition
and room and board for area colleges,
The Times Leader found that only Lu-
zerne County Community College stu-
dents will pay the same this fall as they
did the last.
The cost for a full time student enroll-
ing this fall at the Nanticoke school re-
mains at $2,520 per year or $1,260 per
semester. Part-time students are
charged on a per credit
basis at a rate of $84 per
credit for Luzerne
County residents, also
the same as the 2010-11
academic year.
“I am pleased that
LCCC can continue to
enhance the programs
and services we offer to
thousands of area stu-
dents without increas-
ing our tuition,” said
Thomas P. Leary, presi-
dent of Luzerne County Community
College. “We faced many obstacles this
year to balance our budget in light of re-
duced funding from the common-
wealth.”
Officials fromother schools said they
did their best to hold increases to a min-
imum.
“While some in-
creases are necessary
due to escalating
costs, we make every
effort to keep those in-
creases to a minimum.
Our goal is to always
to provide the best
education to our stu-
dents at the least cost.
That’s especially true
during challenging ec-
onomic times,” said
Fran Calpin, a Keys-
tone College spokesman.
The La Plume-based college raised
rates 3.1 percent, the lowest increase in
at least eight years. The rate was below
the12-month rate of inflation of 3.6 per-
cent. Six other schools, the three local
Penn State campuses in Lehman Town-
ship, Sugarloaf Township and Dun-
more, Lackawanna College and Mary-
wood University, both in Scranton, and
Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre also
kept their increases below that level.

When Mark Ciavarella learns his fate
in federal court next week, Sandy Fonzo
wants her son’s face to be on the former
Luzerne County judge’s mind.
Fonzo, who became the face of com-
munity outrage at Ciavarella’s actions
when she chided the disgraced judge fol-
lowing his conviction on corruption
charges Feb. 18, has ordered100 T-shirts
with pictures of her
son, Edward Kenza-
koski III, on the front
and slogans like “Cash
for Kids is an Ameri-
can travesty” and
“How much is your
child worth” on the re-
verse.
She is giving them
away to the parents of other children
sentencedby Ciavarella andanyone will-
ing to wear one to the judge’s sentencing
Thursday on racketeering, money laun-
dering and other corruption charges.
Fonzo will be distributing the shirts at
6:30 p.m. Monday at the pavilion near
the pond in Kirby Park.
Though her fiery confrontation with
Ciavarella caught the attention of na-
tional media, Fonzo said she doesn’t
plan to repeat her actions at the judge’s
sentencing Thursday.
“I just hope that courthouse is wrap-
ped around in just silence, no violence,”
Fonzo said. “To say these were all the
lives that were destroyed.”
Fonzo maintains that her son was giv-
en an unduly harsh prison sentence for a
minor offense by Ciavarella, and that his
brush with the judge set his life on a
downward spiral ending in his suicide
last year.
Fonzo said she and members of a sup-
port group she has organized for parents
of children sentenced by Ciavarella de-
cided to make the T-shirts after learning

PITTSTON–Gangidentifierspecial-

a federal report that implies a growing
drug trafficking network involving
gangs.
“I already knewwhat it said,” the 63-
year-old Pittston native said. “I’ve been
warningabout gangsmigratingherefor
decades, andno one listened.”
The report titled, “Eastern Pennsyl-
vania Drug and Gang Threat Assess-
ment,” was released in March by the
U.S. Department of Justice.
It was preparedbytheNational Drug
IntelligenceCenter at theurgingof U.S.
Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton.
The report implied
street gangs from the
New York area are be-
coming increasingly
organized, entrenched
and dominant in many
eastern Pennsylvania
communities.
Street gangs are
pushingalargeamount
of heroin and cocaine
toareas that havelimit-
ed police resources to
make a greater profit,
the report says.
Marinello, a crimi-
nal justice professor
whohastaughtgangvi-
olence at King’s College for the past 34
years, has lectured numerous law en-
forcement agencies across the country
for more thantwo decades.
He has placed himself in harm’s way
on the toughest streets of Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Chica-
go and Miami, inter-
viewing gang mem-
bers and learning
their traits since the
1980s.
“To recognize a
gang member, you
have to know their

they came from,” he
said. “Local police

TEHRAN
Hikers may be released
I
ran’s foreign minister said Saturday
he hoped that a final court verdict
will lead to the release of two Amer-
ican men who have been held for two
years in Tehran on espionage charges.
Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, both
29, have been held in Iran’s Evin Prison
since shortly after their July 2009 ar-
rest after straying off a reportedly un-
marked road while hiking in Iraq’s
northern Kurdish region.
A third American, Sarah Shourd, was
arrested with the two but was released
last September on $500,000 bail. She
still faces the same espionage and
illegal entry charges as Bauer and Fat-
tal.
Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi
was the highest ranking Iranian official,
though not the first, to raise expecta-
tions of Bauer’s and Fattal’s release.
BEIRUT
Syria promises free election
The Syrian military tightened its
suffocating siege on the city of Hama
on Saturday in its drive to crush the
main center of the anti-regime uprising
in the country, even as the foreign
minister promised that free parlia-
mentary elections would be held by the
end of the year in a gesture of reform.
Like previous reform promises, the
new announcement is unlikely to have
much resonance with Syria’s opposi-
tion, which says it has lost all confi-
dence in President Bashar Assad’s
overtures.
The four-year term of the current
parliament expired earlier this year and
Assad is expected to set a date for new
legislative elections before the end of
2011.
Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem
pledged to press ahead with reforms
and said the new parliament “will rep-
resent the aspirations of the Syrian
people.”
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CALIF.
Rangers find victim’s body
The body of a California man who
died after being swept into a raging
waterfall at Yosemite National Park
nearly three weeks ago has been found,
rangers said Saturday.
Hormiz David, of Modesto, Calif.,
and two other members of his church
group crossed the safety barricade at
the top of Vernal Fall to pose for photos
and were swept in on July 20. Friends
said the victims likely did not under-
stand that the swift-moving Merced
River could be so treacherous, and
watched in horror as David, Ramina
Badal and Ninos Yacoub were pulled
over the 317-foot cliff.
FULLERTON, CALIF.
Group protests beating
Angry protesters gathered Saturday
outside the police department of this
Southern California city to decry the
death of a homeless schizophrenic man
who died after being beaten during a
violent arrest.
About 400 people lined sidewalks
outside the police station and chanted
slogans such as “Justice for Kelly, No
killer cops,” and “No justice, no peace,
no killer police.” Many demanded the
resignation of Police Chief Michael
Sellers.
“The police chief needs to resign and
apologize to the victim’s family,” said
Robert Giannasi, a San Diego resident
who had driven up the coast to attend
the protest over Kelly Thomas’s death.

BIR AYAD, Libya — Rebels launched
a new offensive Saturday out of their
stronghold in Libya’s western moun-
tains, battling regime forces in a drive
toward the heartland of Moammar
Gadhafi’s rule on the Mediterranean
coast. Opening a new front, the rebels
are aiming to break a months-long
deadlock and eventually fight their way
to the capital, Tripoli.
Booms of shelling and rocket fire
echoed from the front lines, centered
around the town of Bir Ghanam, where
the rebel force backed by tanks fought
Gadhafi’s troops much of the day. Lat-
er, witnesses saw flattened buildings
presumably targeted in NATO air-
strikes and three smoldering govern-
ment tanks in the town.
Rebels are hoping for a breakthrough
in the far west of Libya, frustrated with
the stalemate in the center of the coun-
try, where their underequipped forces
have been unable to budge the battle-
lines despite five months of NATO air-
strikes on Gadhafi’s military. Rebels
control most of the eastern half of
country, while Gadhafi’s regime holds
most of the west, centered around Tri-
poli.
At dawn, thousands of opposition
fighters pushed out of the Nafusa
Mountains, a range near the Tunisian
border, into the coastal plain toward
their main objectives, Zawiya and Sa-
bratha, two key regime-held towns on
the Mediterranean west of the capital.
Bir Ghanam, one of their initial targets
Saturday, lies a little more than a third
of the 50-mile distance to Zawiya.
Rebel commander Col. Jumma Ibra-
himsaid opposition forces captured Bir
Ghanam and had moved a few miles
beyond it, as well as making advances
on a separate highway to Sabratha. On
that highway, rebels at one point came
to within 18 miles of Libya’s coastline,
but their convoy then came under
heavy fire and they retreated, witness-
es said.

WASHINGTON — After the
first-ever downgrade of the U.S.
government’s credit rating, the
White House said on Saturday
that President Barack Obama be-
lieves it’s clear Washington“must
do better” intackling the deficit.
While Republicans and Demo-
crats traded blame over Friday’s
movebyStandard&Poor’stolow-
er its AAA credit rating, a state-
ment from White House press
secretary Jay Carney was muted
in tone and did not refer directly
to the downgrade.
Administration officials pri-
vately called S&P’s analysis
flawed. But Obama himself re-
frainedfromcomment ashespent
the weekendat Camp David.
The move by the key credit
agency reflected disappointment
with Tuesday’s pact hiking the
U.S. borrowing limit, which
called for roughly $2 trillion in
deficit cuts over the next decade.
It had previously called for cuts
approaching $4 trillion.
In a statement Saturday, Car-
ney called the hard-fought deal
“animportant stepinthe right di-
rection.” However, he said “the
pathtogettingtheretooktoolong
and was at times too divisive. We
must do better to make clear our
nation’s will, capacity and com-
mitment toworktogethertotack-
le our major fiscal and economic
challenges.”
Standard & Poor’s cited “diffi-
culties in bridging the gulf be-
tweenpolitical parties” as amajor
reasonfor thedowngradetoAA+,

len from officers, tips which appeared to
come from members of the public, credit
card numbers and other sensitive infor-
mation.
Anonymous said it had stolen 10 giga-
bytes worth of data in all.
Tim Mayfield, a police chief in small-
town Gassville, Arkansas, told The Asso-
ciated Press that some of the material
posted online —pictures of teenage girls
in their swimsuits — related to an ongo-
ing investigation, which he declined to
discuss further.
Mayfield’s comments were the first in-
dication that the hack might be serious.
LONDON — The group known as
Anonymous said Saturday it has hacked
into some 70 mostly rural law enforce-
ment websites in the United States, a da-
ta breach that one local police chief said
had leaked information about an ongoing
investigation.
The loose-knit international hacking
Since news that some kind of an attack
first filtered out earlier this week, various
police officials dismissed it as nothing to
worry about.
“We’ve not lost any information,” was
one typical response, given by McMinn
County Sheriff Joe Guy to WDEF-TV in
Tennessee on Tuesday.
But many of Guy’s emails were among
those leaked to the Web on Saturday, and
others seen by The Associated Press car-
ried sensitive information, including tips
about suspected crimes, profiles of gang
members, and security training.
The emails were mainly from sheriffs’
offices in places such as Arkansas, Kan-
sas, Louisiana, Missouri, andMississippi.

cy should the Republican seek

“Father, our heart breaks for
America,” Perry told about
30,000 people gathered at Re-
liant Stadium. “We see discord
at home. We see fear inthe mar-
ketplace. We see anger in the
hallsof government and, asana-
tion, we have forgotten who
made us, who protects us, who
blesses us.”
The Republican was hosting
what he has called a national
dayof prayerbeforeanaudience
filled with people who sang
with arms outstretched in
prayer —and wept —as Chris-
tian groups played music on
stage.

Still, the event gave him an im-

SHICKSHINNY – In150 years,
the borough of Shickshinny has
seen the nation plunged into civil
war, the rise and fall of King Coal
and disaster and rebirth in the
1972 flood, so what’s a little rain
on its parade?
Torrential downpours didn’t
keep the Northwest Area High
School band, veterans from the
Fort Ricketts VFW Post 8317 or
Boy Scouts Troop17 frommarch-
ing proudly through the town;
they didn’t keep more than 25
vendors from setting up shop
along the side streets, and they
didn’t stopShickshinny residents
from lining Main Street to watch
the pageantry marking the 150th
anniversary of the borough’s
founding.
“It was wonderful. We had a re-
ally nice crowd
of people. Ev-
erybody joined
in,” said Shick-
shinny Council
President Ro-
salie White-
bread. “Due to
the weather I
was really nerv-
ous. I didn’t
think we’d have
as many peo-
ple, but they
made it hap-
pen. This made
history.”
The parade
was organized
by Jake Baluta,
Sue Zimolzak
and a small
group of Shickshinny residents
who remembered Shickshinny’s
centennial celebration and want-
ed to give the borough a grand
birthday party once again.
“This is my town; this is our
town; I’mproudof it,” saidBaluta
as he prepared for the parade in
his canvas-top 1943 Willys Jeep.
“We just want to show people
what we are; whowe are. I’mreal-
ly proud of Shickshinny.”
State Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Leh-
man Township, state Rep. Karen
Boback, R-Harveys Lake, andrep-
resentative of the governor Bill
Goldsworthy marked the occa-
sion with speeches following the
parade, but the event was a com-
munity affair fromstart to finish.
Led by a cruiser from the bor-
ough police department and
capped by more than a dozen fire
trucks fromShickshinny and oth-
er area departments, the parade
featured floats constructed by
borough businesses, schools and
churches.
“We were here from the begin-
ning, so we dressed like we were
in the beginning. The church has
been here since 1864,” said Nata-
lie Birth, a member of the First
Presbyterian Church of Shick-
shinny as she donned an old fash-
ioned dress and kerchief but held
a modern umbrella.
“The community’s been
through a lot. The closing of the
mines first and the 1972 flood,”
said Debbie Kishbaugh, a mem-
ber of the board of the Historical
and Preservation Society of the
Greater Shickshinny Area who
rode in the parade in a red Volks-
wagen NewBeetle. “It just seems
to bring the community togeth-
er.”
Theparadebrought out dozens
of borough residents who
watched from beneath awnings
on Main Street, with children
darting periodically into the
downpour to scoop up candy
thrown from floats and fire
trucks.
“My husband has to work. He
wasintheparade50yearsago, soI
said I’d come down and watch it
for him,” said Jane Kalback of
Shickshinny, whowatchedthepa-
rade fromthe corner of Main and
Market Street. “I thinkit waswon-
derful inspite of the weather peo-
ple came out and supported it.”
The Sesquicentennial celebra-
tion continued after the parade
with a commemorative program
in the borough park followed by
an evening of live music. It marks
the 150th anniversary of the bor-
ough’s application for incorpora-
tion. Forty-eight prominent citi-
zens submitted a petition for in-
corporation on August 1, 1861. It
was approvedNov. 30of the same
year.

Steve Tomasacci and his grandson Steve Baran, 2, check out a llama in a petting zoo during the Shickshinny Sesquicentennial parade Saturday. There were plenty of
festivities during the community-wide effort to mark the milestone.
Parade-goers line the streets Saturday despite the rainy weather as the procession marking the borough’s 150th anniversary makes its way past. Saturday’s events
opened the anniversary celebration.

School Band uses protec-

Shickshinny Sesquicen-

as it marches along Main
Street. The parade
marked the 150th anni-
versary of the borough’s
incorporation. Other
events are planned as
well. Observers said they
were impressed by the
turnout despite the rainy
weather. Veterans, Boy
Scouts, historical re-
enactors and other orga-
nizations appeared in the
parade, though many
participants resorted to
rain gear. Some recalled
festivities of the bor-
ough’s 100th anniversary
celebration in 1961.
The borough throws a
birthday bash, and nobody
even minds the rain.

“One of Lackawanna College’s
main goals is to keep tuition as
lowas possible tomake it afforda-
ble to prospective students in
NortheasternPennsylvania,”said
college spokesman Christopher
S. Kucharski. “Compared to what
has happened to other institu-
tions in this economy, we have
been mostly successful in doing
that. However, our revenues are
tuition-driven so sometimes we
are forced to make moderate in-
creases as we didthis year.”
Misericordia University in Dal-
las Township and King’s College
inWilkes-Barreincreasedthecost
of going to college lightly in ex-
cess of the inflationrate.
Still, the 3.9 percent increase
King’s is levyingmatches thelow-
est percentagerateincreaseinthe
last three decades.
Father John Ryan, president of
King’s College, noted that that
school has made concerted ef-
forts to keep increases low.
“King’s is dedicated to provid-
ingaqualityliberal artseducation
in a cost-efficient manner to our
student body, almost half of
whomare first generationcollege
students. The college’s efforts
have resultedina tuitionincrease
of lessthan4percentineachof the
last three years,” Ryansaid.
Misericordia’s 3.8 percent hike
is the lowest at the school innear-
ly a decade.
“Misericordia University has a
history of educating first-genera-
tioncollegestudents, sowearees-
pecially mindful howthe slow-to-
recover national economy has af-
fected families from all walks of
life. That’s why we have worked
diligently to limit the increase in
tuition and related fees for our
students and their families,” said
Paul Krzywicki, a university
spokesman.
He added that while keeping
cost increases down, the school
hasn’t scaled back on expansion
andimprovements.
Last year, The University of
Scrantonraisedrates 4.3percent.
That wasitslowest percentagein-
crease in two decades. This year
that increase was even lower, at
4.25 percent.
Edward Steinmetz, vice presi-
dent for finance and treasurer,
saidtheschool focusedon“reduc-
ing costs,” and “was able to trim
expenses by more than$1million
this year, which follows the more
than $2.6 million in reductions
and reallocations done last year –
despite facing cost increases in
health care, energy, library peri-
odicals and technology that far
outpace inflation.”
The largest increase will be felt
bystudents at JohnsonCollege in
Dickson City. When combining
tuition, room and board, the rate
jumps 5.3 percent this fall com-
pared to the rate incoming fresh-
men paid last year. Baptist Bible
College in Clarks Green was not
far behindwitha5.2percent hike.
AccordingtotheAssociationof
Independent Colleges & Univer-
sities of Pennsylvania, the aver-
age increase in full-time under-
graduate tuition will be 4.1 per-
cent this fall compared to last
year. The national rates of in-
crease are 4.6 percent for private
colleges and 7 percent for public
institutions, according to the Na-
tional Association of Independ-
ent Colleges andUniversities.

“What I fear are the different

agent, whoaskednot tobe identi-

gangs here, from the Bloods,
Crips, Latin Kings and MS-13.
They’re all fighting for turf to sell
their dope.”
The drug agent said the turf
battle mostly involves assaults
androbberies.
“When a Blood disrespects a
Crip in any way, or vice versa,
we’re going to have problems,”
thedrugagent said. “It’snot going
to stop with one act of violence.
It’s going to snowball.”

Township police obtained an
arrest warrant for Jerayme John-

him in the shooting of Thomas
Tonic, 19, outside Club Evolution
at the Woodlands InnandResort.
Tonic, reportedly a member of
theCripsstreet gang, survivedhis
injuries.
Johnson is described in the
criminal complaint as a Bloods
gang member.
Police alleged Johnson fired
several rounds at Tonic after Ton-

criminal complaint.
Johnson, originallyfromJersey
City, N.J., is facing charges of
criminal attempt tocommit hom-
icide and other felony assault of-
fenses. He remains at-large.

“There is no doubt that gangs
are here, but they’re here to make
aprofit,” Marinellosaid. “They’re
here taking advantage of the
(drug) market and the less than
adequate police force.”
If the gang problem is as dan-
gerous as the report indicates,
Marinello said there would be
more homicides andthe crime in-
dex would“skyrocket.”
“I don’t see any law enforce-
mentagencydoinganythingtore-
duce the gang problem. I see
many arrests, but it’s reactive,”
Marinello suggested.

fore culminating back in Wilkes-
Barre.
"I came out to support my
friendJoshua Miller, so hopefully
the rain will hold off for a while,"

WILKES-BARRETWP. – Abu-
sy crowd filled Lucky’s Spor-
thouse on Saturday night in sup-
port of Cait’s Quest as part of a
series of fundraisers to help raise
money and awareness for domes-
tic violence programs.
Cait McGuire, 24, of Franklin
Township was killed by her es-
tranged boyfriend, who then
took his own life, in her home
this past Super Bowl Sunday. She
was a graduate of Dallas High
School and was working toward
her master’s degree at Marywood
University at the time of her
death.
Cait’s Quest was started this
spring by five of her closest
friends to help her parents pay
her outstanding student loan
debt and to help support other lo-
cal domestic violence programs.
"We’ve gotten many calls from
people whowant tocome out and
support this cause," said Cait’s
Quest co-founder Jodi Feldmann,
as she gestured toward the large
crowd. "Many of our supporters
have been victims of domestic vi-
olence themselves."
The organizers said it was im-
portant to educate women on the
options available to them if they
find themselves in an abusive re-
lationship.
"There are a lot of choices for
women who are being abused
and education is key," added co-
organizer, Nikki Patton. "They
don’t have to remain in the rela-
tionship, we want them to know
there are options."
Saturday’s event offered food
and drinks fromLucky’s menu as
well as a DJ and door prizes.
Feldmann said the group has
scheduled a charity walk in Sep-
tember to help add to their 2011
total. And they will also plan to
sponsor a Cait’s Quest booth at
the upcoming Luzerne County
Fair.
Organizers thankedtheir many
volunteers as well as the bartend-
ers and staff at Lucky’s, who do-
nated their gratuities from the
evening’s receipts to their cause.

HARRISBURG — Pennsylva-
nia’s government monopoly
over the sale of liquor and wine
faces its toughest test in recent
memory, but the looming clash
in the Legislature is likely to
have little impact on the one
alcoholic beverage that already
has been privatized — beer.
Regardless of the state stores’
fate, a combination of competi-
tion and court rulings is driving
a transformation that is giving
beer drinkers more options and
convenience than they’ve ever
had before.
Still, beer marketing in Penn-
sylvania is a puzzle of regula-
tions that limits which types of
businesses can sell beer and in
which amounts — an enduring
source of complaints from beer
drinkers and sellers.
In the approaching debate
over privatizing liquor stores, li-
censed beverage distributors
and food stores — often com-
batants in the fight for more
flexibility in selling beer — are
hoping lawmakers will heed
their arguments for more con-
sumer-friendly beer laws. Both
sides also have expressed inter-
est in selling wine and liquor.
The leading proposal would
allow retailers licensed to sell
liquor and wine to also hold
beer licenses, but it would not
change the beer laws. The spon-
sor — House Majority Leader
Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny —
does not want beer issues to
dilute the debate over privatiza-
tion of liquor and wine, said his
spokesman, Steve Miskin.
“It’s going to be a tough
enough fight without bringing
(beer) into it,” he said.
In recent years, a growing
number of supermarket chains
and other food stores have been
buying liquor licenses and mak-
ing investments — such as add-
ing “cafés” where beer may be
consumed on the premises and
hiring separate cashiers to ring
up beer purchases — that entit-
le them to sell takeout beer by
the six-pack. Dozens of stores
now do this, including all 14
Wegmans supermarkets.
The trend is eroding the prof-
its of many of the local beverage
distributorships that have long
been the primary source of re-
tail beer in Pennsylvania —
even though they sell beer only
by the case or in larger vol-
umes.
The Pennsylvania Malt Bever-
age Distributors Association,
which represents many of the
more than 1,200 distributors,
has stepped up its lobbying for
the right to sell six-packs.
“Beer is 80 percent of our
business or more. ... (The new
competitors) are able to sell
beer in a quantity that is more
convenient for customers and
we’re not able to do that,” said
Mark Tanczos, president of the
association and owner of Tanc-
zos Beverages in Bethlehem.
Forty-five other states allow
beer to be sold in supermarkets
and convenience stores, said
David McCorkle, president of
the Pennsylvania Food Mer-
chants Association, which
speaks for 1,000 food retailers
who own 5,000 stores. Given a
choice to sell beer or liquor,
they would choose beer first, he
said.
Liquor debate may not impact state beer sales
Beer marketing limits which
types of businesses can sell
beer and in which amounts.

COLUMBUS, Ohio—Amemo
that appears tocoachbuyers of oil
and gas drilling leases to use de-
ceptive tactics on unsuspecting
landowners has provoked a state
investigation and spirited debate
inrural Ohio, thelatest frontier in
America’s quest for new energy
resources.
The tale of the
found memo —un-
authenticated but
with language simi-
lar to that used by a
seller familiar to
Greene County res-
idents — features aggressive
marketers, zealous environmen-
talists, and vulnerable residents.
So high are the stakes in the
rush to lock up leases of fuel-rich
Marcellus and Utica shale lands
that Ohio’s top law enforcement
official investigatedthe notebook
oneresident foundnear her drive-
way in April. Was it really a play-
book for a “landman,” one of the
door-to-door energy company
representativeswho’veblanketed
shale regions inthe Northeast for
months, coaxing landowners to
lease in hopes that drillers strike
it rich in their backyards?
Attorney General Mike De-
Wine couldfindnoevidence it be-
longed to Jim Bucher, a landman
for West Bay Exploration Co.,
based in Traverse City, Mich., or
that it was used to mislead area
residents. Yet his investigational-
so stoppedshort of identifying an
alternative owner, leaving the
memo’s true origins a mystery.
To promote a positive public
image in the aftermath, Ohio’s oil
and gas industry has held state-
wide trainings and intensified a
public relations effort. Alocal en-
vironmental leader wants the
notebook fingerprinted.
After several encounters with
Bucher, Laura Skidmore found
the memo inside a crushed three-
ring binder. It had no corporate
logo. No letterhead. No owner’s
name. She told The Associated
Press she was stunned by its con-
tents.
“I opened it up and thought ‘oh
my god,”’ she said.
The papers appear to instruct
landmen in how to talk to resi-
dents they visit: don’t mention
groundwater contamination or
lost property values; downplay
natural gas drilling (believed to
beagreater environmental threat
than oil drilling); and describe
the hydraulic fracturing drilling
process as “radioactive free,”
even though the memo concedes
that is not accurate.
Thevast stores of natural gas in
the Marcellus Shale have set off a
feverish rush by drillers in neigh-
boring Pennsylvania and West
VirginiaandOhiois poisedtojoin
the fray. Permits allowing “frack-
ing” in Ohio’s portion of the Mar-
cellus and the deeper Utica Shale
have risen from one in 2006, to
four in2009, to 32 so far this year,
state records show.
Thefrackingprocess uses huge
volumes of water mixed with
chemicals and sand to fracture
shale rockdeepundergroundand
free natural gas. Its promise of
riches to landowners has been
tempered in recent months with
reports in Pennsylvania of envi-
ronmental harm, contaminated
private water wells and some wa-
terways.
Amid what one oil and gas in-
dustry executive calls Ohio’s
“Landman-gate,” not one drilling
lease has been filed in Greene
County, where the five-page me-
mo was found.
That has fueled a theory that it
was createdby anenvironmental-
ist wanting to taint the industry
and discourage the controversial
drilling technique.
Another theory is that the me-
mo was planted by a rival compa-
ny in the intensely competitive
push to exploit the shale riches.
Officials of West Bay Explora-
tion Co. —the only drilling com-
pany that was seeking leases in
Greene County at the time — in-
sist the notebook did not belong
toBucher, a 20-year companyvet-
eran. West Bay declined to make
himavailable for an interview.
Beginning last fall, Bucher had
been sending FedEx packets
stuffed with lease documents to
Skidmore’s husband and her
neighbors. He followed up with
home visits and phone calls.
Many landowners, including
SkidmoreandT.J. Turner, ascien-
tist who lives at the next cross-
road, say they listened to Bucher
cautiously.
Local environmental activists
were busy sounding the alarm
over what theysawas thehazards
of drilling. The Green Environ-
mental Coalitioninthepolitically
liberal enclave of Yellow Springs
was holding informational meet-
ings, and Josh Fox’s anti-drilling
documentary “Gasland” was
showing in the local theater.
West Bay Vice President Pat
Gibson said there was nothing
unusual about Bucher’s activ-
ities. Anearly analysis hadshown
newdrilling potential in the area,
he said, and the company wanted
leases soit coulddrill test wells to
see how far to take its explora-
tion.
Turner — who attended some
emotional environmental coali-
tion meetings —has a “No Frack-
ing Way” sign posted on his prop-
erty. He says he asked Bucher
whether the company would be
drilling for oil or natural gas.
“And he just kept saying, ‘No,
we’re primarily looking for oil,”’
Turner recalled. “I said, ‘Yeah, I
get that. That “primarily” wordis
what’s hanging me up here.”’
Inside the controversial binder
were five single-spaced, water-
soaked pages headed: “Talking
Points for Selling Oil and Gas
Lease Rights.” Page footers read,
“Proprietary — Do Not Dis-
close.”
Gas memo sparks investigation in rural Ohio town
AP FILE PHOTO
T.J. Turner stands in his
yard in Yellow Springs,
Ohio, May 27 near a sign
protesting the practice of
fracking, a process used
to extract oil or natural
gas from hard rock forma-
tions. Turner was ap-
proached by a salesman
for an energy exploration
company to lease rights
for drilling on his proper-
ty. A memo that appears
to coach buyers of oil and
gas drilling leases to use
deceptive has provoked a
state investigation and
spirited debate.
The papers discovered appear
to instruct landmen in how to
talk to residents they visit.

WILKES-BARRE – A recep-
tion was held at the Kirby Thea-
ter on Thursday for invited
friends and alumni of Wyoming
Seminary to mark the culmina-
tion of the Performing Arts Insti-
tute’s summer season.
Following the reception, the
group was treated to a perform-
ance of "A Funny Thing Hap-
pened on the Way to the Forum"
bythePerformingArts Institute’s
12-to-18-year old musical theater
group. "This is a grand finale of
sorts for the students," said Alex-
is Kopp, director of communica-
tions at Wyoming Seminary.
Kopp explained that each sum-
mer, the institute conducts a six-
week program in which children
of all ages receive instructionand
training in musical theater, musi-
cal performance and dance.
Wyoming Seminary started
theinstitutein1998witha goal to
provide quality training in the
arts and to provide a venue to
showcase local talent to the pub-
lic.
"The children learn so many
disciplines here," added Kopp.
"This program exhibits the im-
portance of the performing arts
in a well-rounded education."
Kopp said the program allows
students to learn their craft from
any number of visiting artists
who share their particular tal-
ents.
“It’s wonderful to be perform-
ing in Wilkes-Barre," said profes-
sional Broadway stage actor, T.
Doyle Leverett, who had a star-
ring role in Thursday’s perform-
ance. "I just came back after do-
ing a national tour of ‘Fiddler on
the Roof’ with Harvey Fierstein.
This will be great fun this eve-
ning."
Leverett, who founded the Mu-
sic Box Dinner Playhouse in
Swoyersville, said he’s planning
toopena voicestudioat his home
in an effort to develop local tal-
ent.
"I think what the PAI does for
students in this area is outstand-
ing. I support them without res-
ervation," Leverett said.
"The preeminent thing for me
is that each student takes some-
thing away from this experi-
ence," said director William
Rouidebush of Philadelphia.
Sem’s PAI takes a
bow with reception

PUBLIC RECORDS
LOS ANGELES — Actress
Annette Charles, best-known for
her role as Cha Cha DiGregorio
in “Grease,” has died. She was
63.
Longtime friend Tom La-
Bonge, a Los Angeles council-
man, said she died in the city
after a battle with cancer. She
died Wednesday night, said her
agent, Derek Maki.
Her death comes a little more
than two months after the death
of “Grease” actor Jeff Conaway,
whose character Kenickie was
Cha Cha’s date at the school
dance.
Oozing a sultry confidence on
film, Charles introduced her
character at the dance by saying,
“They call me Cha Cha, ‘cause
I’m the best dancer at St. Berna-
dette’s.”
“...with the worst reputation!”,
responded Frenchie, played by
actress Didi Conn.
Charles also appeared on
many television shows during
the 1970s and early 1980s, in-
cluding “Barnaby Jones,” “The
Bionic Woman,” “Magnum, P.I.,”
“Bonanza,” “The Mod Squad,”
“Gunsmoke” and “The Flying
Nun.” She later became a speech
professor under her birth name,
Annette Cardona, at California
State University, Northridge.
As DiGregorio, Charles played
a leggy, red-lipped bad girl with
an appetite for bad boys.

Wardak overnight. Wreckage of
the craft was strewn across the
crash site, a Taliban spokesman
said.
Asenior U.S. administrationof-
ficial in Washington said it ap-
peared the craft had been shot
down. Theofficial spokeoncondi-
tion of anonymity because the
crashis still being investigated.
“Their deaths area reminder of
theextraordinarysacrifices made
bythemenandwomenof our mil-
itary andtheir families, including
all who have served in Afghanis-
tan,” President Barack Obama
said in a statement, adding that
his thoughts andprayers goout to
the families of those who per-
ished.
The U.S.-led coalition said in a
statement that 30 American ser-
vice members, a civilian inter-
preter and seven Afghan com-
mandos were killed when their
CH-47 Chinook crashed in the
early hours Saturday. A current
U.S. official anda former U.S. offi-
cial said the Americans included
22SEALs, threeAir Forceair con-
trollers and a dog handler and his
dog. The two spoke on condition
of anonymity because military of-
ficials werestill notifyingthefam-
ilies of the dead.
Geneva Vaughn of Union City,
Tennessee, told The Associated
Press on Saturday that her grand-
son Aaron Carson Vaughn, a Ten-
nessee native, was one of the
SEALs who was killed.
Afghan President Hamid Kar-
zai announcedthenumber of peo-
plekilledinthecrashandthepres-
ence of special operations troops
before any other public figure. He
also offered his condolences to
the American and Afghan troops
killedinthe crash.
The deaths bring to 365 the
number of coalition troops killed
this year in Afghanistan and 42
this month.
The overnight raid took place
intheTangi JoyZarinareaof War-
dak’s SaydAbaddistrict, about 60
miles southwest of Kabul. Forest-
ed peaks in the region give the in-
surgency goodcover andthe Tali-
ban have continued to use it as a
base despite repeated NATO as-
saults.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah
Mujahid said in a statement that
the helicopter was involved in an
assault on a house where insur-
gentfightersweregathering. Dur-
ing the battle, the fighters shot
down the helicopter with a rock-
et, he said.
An American official in Brus-
selssaidthehelicopterwasatwin-
rotor Chinook, a large troop and
cargo transporter.
The casualties are believed to
belargest loss of lifeinthehistory
of SEAL Team Six, officially
called the Navy Special Warfare
Development Group, or DEV-
GRU. The teamis considered the
best of thebest amongthealready
elite SEALs, which numbers
3,000 personnel.
NPR and ABC News first re-
portedthat those aboardwere be-
lieved to be Navy SEALs. The AP
withheldthereport at therequest
of their sources until they be-
lieved the majority of families of
those lost hadbeennotified.
The death toll surpasses the
previous worst single day loss of
life for the U.S.-ledcoalitioninAf-
ghanistan since the war began in
2001 — the June 28, 2005 down-
ingof amilitaryhelicopterineast-
ernKunar province.
Inthat incident,16NavySEALs
and Army special operations
troops were killed when their
craft was shot down while on a
mission to rescue four SEALs un-
derattackbytheTaliban. Threeof
the SEALs being rescued were al-
sokilledandthefourthwounded.
Afghanistan has more U.S. spe-
cial operations troops, about
10,000, than any other theater of
war. The forces, often joined by
Afghan troops, carry out as many
as a dozen raids a night and have
become one of the most effective
weaponsinthecoalition’sarsenal,
also conducting surveillance and
infiltration.

Police in Kingston charged McCann,
33, with driving a Chevrolet Trailblazer
while under the influence of cocaine and
prescriptionmedicationswhenshealleg-
edly struck and killed Aloysius
McLaughlin, 63, on Third Avenue on
June 30.
FortyFort policechargedEdwardThe-
odore Rogers II, 23, of Swoyersville, with
driving under the influence of marijuana
after an officer detected an odor of mari-
juana coming from vehicle during a traf-
fic stop, according to the criminal com-
plaint.
Bloodtests wereadministeredonboth
McCann and Rogers. Results of their
blood tests showed illegal substances in
their blood streams, the separate crimi-
nal complaints say.
Probable cause needed
Geisler said officers require probable
cause to obtain blood tests on drivers
suspected of driving drug impaired.
In the McCann case, Vough said offi-
cers didnot detect anodor of alcohol but
suspected she was unable to drive safely
fromobservations.
“Officers noticed an unsteady gait, an
alter ability to speak, an alter ability to
stand. They determined she was under
the influence of something at that point.
Abloodtest was done andthere were nu-
merous cocaine along with numerous
prescriptionmedications inher system,”
Vough said after McCann’s arraignment
on vehicular homicide-related charges.
Geisler said the rapid use of designer
drugs, such as bath salts and K2/Spice –
synthetic marijuana, caught police agen-
cies by surprise this year. Chemicals
used to manufacture bath salts have
since become illegal in Pennsylvania.
“Users of these drugs have become a
danger to themselves and the general
public due to their erratic behavior
which often includes choosing to drive
impaired,” Geisler said. “Frequently,
drugusersmakethischoicebecausethey
assume that police will not be able to de-
tect their impairment with a breathalyz-
er or other traditional alcohol testing
methods.”
Bath salts problem
Earlier this year, Wilkes-Barre police
arrested Michelle Pace, 39, of Scranton,
on driving while under the influence of
bath salts with two children inside her
vehicle. She pleaded guilty to DUI and
reckless endangerment and is awaiting
sentencing on Sept. 29, according to
court records.
Geisler said a new law will go into ef-
fect on Aug. 22 that will make it illegal to

The number of foreclosures
dipped to 51 in 2010, but reached
60 this year as of July 31.
The foreclosures at Eagle
Rock tracked for this story are
on land sales only because the
resort finances its own land sales
and a search by foreclosure filer
was possible at the prothono-
tary’s office. The number of
homes foreclosed on at the re-
sort is unknown because home
buyers there must use private fi-
nancing and foreclosure records
can’t be searched according to
location of the property.
Mirroring U.S. average
Anthony L. Liuzzo, professor
of business and economics at
Wilkes University, said Eagle
Rock’s foreclosure numbers mir-
ror the national averages.
“For every 12 people who have
a mortgage right now, one is
past due. That’s about 4.3 mil-
lion homes” nationally, Liuzzo
said. “And 1.9 million of those
home loans are at least 90 days
delinquent.”
Liuzzo said states with the
highest percentages of foreclo-
sures are Nevada, Florida, Mis-
sissippi and New Jersey. Those
with the lowest are Montana,
Wyoming, Alaska, North Dakota
and South Dakota. Pennsylvania
falls in the middle.
Liuzzo said the number-one
reason for foreclosures is the
high unemployment rate. People
out of work are unable to keep
paying their mortgages.
“Plus, there’s an increase in
the number of people walking
away from their mortgages … if
they don’t have positive equity
in their homes. … It’s a question
of being smart and being practi-
cal rather than being ethical,” Li-
uzzo said.
During the financial boom a
few years ago, buyers were put-
ting little money into down pay-
ments and overextending them-
selves, buying homes that were
too large and too expensive, Li-
uzzo said.
“Equally to blame were the
banks and financial institutions.
If you had a pulse, they were
happy to lend you
money. All that led
to unnatural
growth in hous-
ing,” he said.
Unfortunately,
the number of peo-
ple who are walking away from
their homes is increasing, he
said.
Still, Liuzzo said the situation
for homeowners appears to be
better than it was a year ago in
that fewer people are falling be-
hind on their mortgages.
Recent sales up
And that economic improve-
ment seems to be reflected in
Eagle Rock’s most recent sales.
Layton estimated the resort
had about 400 lot sales last year
and has an annual sales goal of
$20 million.
“Right now, we’re about
$700,000 ahead of where we
were this time last year” in land
sales, Layton said.
There’s a lively trade in resales
of Eagle Rock lots as well. The
Greater Wilkes-Barre Associ-
ation of Realtors’ website on Fri-
day listed at least 16 lots in the
development. They ranged in
asking price from $17,000 to
$150,000, with the prices often
wildly at odds with assessed val-
ues. Dozens more lots were list-
ed on the Greater Hazleton As-
sociation of Realtors’ website, as
well as several homes.
As foreclosures and land sales
continued to grow over the last
five years, so did the resort itself.
Added over the last half dec-
ade were nine subdivisions, a
nine-hole golf course, a 15,000-
square-foot recre-
ation center, an ex-
panded beach at
Lake Susquehanna,
more playgrounds,
a third swimming
pool and 29 addi-
tional miles of roads, Layton
said.
The resort itself grew from
about 250 homes and 4,200
acres in Luzerne and Schuylkill
counties in 1996, when it was
known as Valley of the Lakes, to
about 800 homes and 8,000
acres today.
Eagle Rock’s parent company,
Texas-based Double Diamond
Inc., took possession of the re-
sort at a bankruptcy sale in Oc-
tober 1996. Major construction
and the millions of dollars of in-
vestments began in March 1997.
“Double Diamond has been in
business since 1972 and we’ve
made profits every year, espe-
cially the last three years,” Lay-
ton said. “Part of our success is
built around our marketing ef-
fort.”
Resort full of amenities
And there’s plenty to market
there, Stack Bowers, Double
Diamond’s vice president of hos-
pitality, said on a recent tour of
Eagle Rock.
“We have 14 lighted ski runs
and we increase our snow-mak-
ing capacity each year. We’ve got
48 hotel rooms at the lodge, and
its ski in, ski out,” Bowers noted.
Homeowners at the resort get
32 free rounds of golf per year,
24-hour gated security, use of
the recreation center, spa, fitness
center, equestrian center, swim-
ming pools, tennis courts and
beach, and a discount at the res-
taurant, all included in an annual
maintenance fee, Bowers said.
Bowers showed off some of
the newest construction at the
resort – three log cabins in a sub-
division called Sugarloaf South,
where there are plans for build-
ing more than a dozen more.
Fourteen other homes are cur-
rently under construction.
At Lake Susquehanna, Bowers
noted that the beach was dou-
bled in size. Canoes, paddle
boats and rowboats were at
docks and on racks on the shore,
ready for use by resort residents
as well as lodge guests.
And anyone who spends a
night at the hotel has access to
all of the amenities that resi-
dents do, Bowers said.
“I’ve been involved with Eagle
Rock since 2005. The changes
here have all been positive,”
Bowers said. “The continued
growth of the amenities and
property owner privileges has al-
so been extremely positive.”
Residents praise community
Some long-time as well as
newer resort residents would
agree with Bowers’ assessment.
Patricia Pedersen, for exam-
ple, said the resort has seen re-
markable improvements.
“With the previous owners, it
was a disaster. Now, Double Dia-
mond owns it and it’s much bet-
ter,” she said.
Pedersen said she and her hus-
band love everything from swim-
ming in the pools to snow tub-
ing. “And we love to go the lake.
We don’t have the property to
have cookouts, so we go to the
lake for that,” she said.
Bob Farkas and his wife, Jan-
ice, bought a piece of property
there in 2005 when he retired for
health reasons and intended to
build a home on the lot.
“But we bought a house here
in 2006 instead because every-
thing was so busy, we had trou-
ble finding someone to build it,”
Farkas said.
Farkas, 69, also was impressed
that resort management kept its
promise on road construction.
There were no roads leading to
the property he originally pur-
chased at the time, but they
were laid by the date that man-
agement quoted him, he said.
“It’s been one of the best
moves we’ve ever made. We’re
thrilled to be up here,” he said.
Farkas loves the golf courses,
“and the pools are fantastic.
They’re all used. I couldn’t say a
cross word about the amenities.
And the amenities fees are very
reasonable compared to a lot of
other places,” he said.
The annual maintenance fee is
$620, which can be paid in two
payments.
For former Princeton, N.J.,
residents, Farkas admits, the re-
sort took a little getting used to.
“We’ve seen Teddy the bear
come through here. I got a pic-
ture of him scratching his belly.
We’ve got turkey, we’ve got fox,
raccoons, and we’re right off the
main gate,” Farkas said.
“You have to be prepared for
this lifestyle, not be in a rush to
do anything. It’s quiet, even
though I’m close to the highway.
If you come from New York or
New Jersey and you’re used to
noise, you have to get used to
the quiet and tranquility,” he
said.
The new swimming pool at Eagle Rock Resort in Hazle Township is
just one of many amenities added in recent years.
The gymnasium at the fitness center at Eagle Rock Resort in
Hazle Township is a popular feature.
These ski cabins are built right off the ski slopes at Eagle Rock
Resort in Hazle Township.

The nine-hole executive golf course, which opened in September 2010, is one of many recreational features at Eagle Rock. Officials of the resort say growth in home
sales has been strong and is running ahead of last year’s pace.
The beach at Eagle Rock Resort in Hazle Township offers warm-weather outdoor recreation. Resi-
dents say they are very happy with the facilities offered.

T
his time of year, newspapers
and magazines are full of sto-
ries about fun-filled vacation
destinations. But our area’s geneal-
ogists seem never to take a day off.
“My great grandfather, Horatio
Carlisle Gates, was an iron and
brass founder and stove manufactur-
er in Wilkes-Barre in the late 1800s,”
writes Ruth Gates Kelly of Wilkes-
Barre. “I have been unable to find
anything about the foundry in histo-
ry books. Is there anything you can
find out about this?”
Ruth, Horatio C. Gates was one of
the hardy men who made Wilkes-
Barre into a dynamic center of man-
ufacturing many years ago. Believe
it or not, even at this distance of
more than a century there is materi-
al about him available.
“The Historical Record,” a series
of volumes edited by F.C. Johnson
in the late 1800s and early 1900s,
reprints Gates’ June 23, 1903 obitu-
ary from the Wilkes-Barre Record. It
gives a concise biography, discusses
his family and even traces his ances-
try back two generations. It has
material on his early years with the
Laning and Marshall foundry, his
purchase of the Joseph Van Leer
foundry and its ultimate sale to the
Vulcan Iron Works. I’ve sent you a
copy. The book “History of Luzerne,
Lackawanna and Wyoming Counties,
Pa.” offers a few more details.
If I were you, I would try to fill
out my knowledge of Gates’ own
company and the companies he
worked for by checking the Phillips
collection and the old city directo-
ries at the Luzerne County Histor-
ical Society. In Phillips, look under
Wilkes-Barre industries. The directo-
ries often contain highly informative
ads for businesses of the past.
I was fascinated by the details you
provided about names of streets in
South Wilkes-Barre, particularly his
connection to Carlisle Street and
Gates Street, once his property. I’ll
also be sure to check out local man-
hole covers (safely), some of which
you say still bear his foundry’s
name. It’s truly remarkable that you,
a descendant, live on land that was
the property of your illustrious an-
cestor a century and more ago.
Projects: Congratulations to Gina
Evans and her colleagues at the
Wyoming County Historical Society
for their project of compiling a mas-
ter list of all Civil War soldiers from
the county. Writes Evans, “If they
were born in, lived in, moved to our
county or died there, they are going
to be in our many three-ring binders
on the library shelf at the society
also.”
This looks like it will be an invalu-
able resource for any genealogist
with a Civil War connection to
Wyoming County. It’s an effort well
worth supporting.
Meanwhile, the Plymouth Histor-
ical Society has compiled a book
listing all burials (nearly 6,000 of
them) in St. Vincent’s Cemetery. It
also includes “a brief history of Irish
immigration into this area after the
potato famine, history of St. Vin-
cent’s Church and a history of the
old and new cemeteries,” writes
Georgetta Potoski, society president.
To inquire about the book, which
will be printed soon, contact Potoski
at 570-779-5840.
Stories: Oh, if only there could be
a magic potion for genealogy. Just
ask J.K. Rowling, the British author
of the “Harry Potter” books. The
Associated Press recently reported
that, after checking out a family
story that her great-grandfather
Louis Volant, a French soldier in
World War I, won the Legion of
Honor medal, Rowling discovered
that her true ancestor was a differ-
ent Louis Volant entirely – a soldier,
but not the more famous medal
winner.

MEET VINCE WOJNAR
V
ince Wojnar is a retired math and computer science teacher from G.A.R. Memorial High School. He is also one of the founders of
the Wyoming Valley Striders running club. Wojnar is a native of Warrior Run and a graduate of Meyers High School. He served in
the United States Air Force and earned a bachelor’s degree at the University of Pittsburgh, where he attended on a track scholarship. He
and his late wife, Judy, had four children: Vince, Dave, Diane and Linda. He has nine grandchildren and will turn 74 on Monday. He lives
in Mountain Top.
You retired fromG.A.R. in 1993. Do you
miss anything about teaching? “The
kids. I had a good rapport with most kids.
That was exciting. That was good. Almost
any place I go, it’s ‘Hey, Mr. Wojnar.’ I
always bump into somebody that I
taught. It’s great.”
You’re still very involved with running,
correct? “Ninety-percent of my waking
hours have something to do with the
sport of running. I helped form the
Wyoming Valley Striders running club
in 1975. I’m a race director. I’m a meet
director. I’m an official at Bucknell and
Penn State. And I put out a news-
letter. The older I got, the more
involved I got in all aspects of the
sport.”
When, or how, did your love of run-
ning first develop? “I was a runner
even before I became a runner in
high school. Back in Warrior Run there were
stripping roads, where they’d do above-
ground mining for coal, and I used to go
and run them. I had my own courses: a
two-mile course, a three-mile course. I
used to just go out there and run.”
Tell us a little about the formation of the
Wyoming Valley Striders. “About six of
us got together with the help of the
recreation board of the city of Wilkes-
Barre. We had a meeting and decided
that we’d like to form a club. There were
no clubs, any place, in Northeastern
Pennsylvania, and we decided to have
one. I got to pick the name, and we’ve
been going ever since. I love the cam-
araderie of running. Runners are terrific
people. It’s a joy.”
You recently had what could have been a
very serious medical situation. Sounds
like you dodged a bullet. “I had a mini-
stroke about two weeks ago. I had a
blood clot, which produced a shock. I
knew something was wrong. I was in the
hospital for five days and at John Heinz
Rehab for seven. The one good thing is
the doctor expects a complete recovery.
And that’s the way I feel.”
Any other hobbies or interests? “I like to
pick strawberries and blueberries at the
farms. Most of them go to relatives and
friends.”
Music? “Old-time country and western and
polkas. I have three favorites: Hank Wil-
liams Sr., Johnny Cash and Marty Rob-
bins.”
Sports? “I follow some college basketball
and football. And I’m getting into NAS-
CAR.”
Favorite city? “Pittsburgh. I wish I was
going to school out there right now. It’s a
terrific place with all kinds of opportuni-
ties and there’s so much to see. And
another one is Utica, New York, because
of the Boilermaker 15K race. I used to run
in it, and when I couldn’t run anymore, I
volunteered to work at the finish line. I go
up every year.”
Favorite food? “Potato pancakes. And
Tommy’s whole wheat pizza from Tom-
my’s Pizza Corner in Kingston. It’s the
best I’ve ever had.”
Always in the fridge? “Cold water.”

henyou’rethousands of miles fromhomeandcoldor uncomfortable, it helps tohear someonesaythat thepeoplebackhomecareabout
you. It helps even more to be handed proof of that caring —a handmade reminder that someone is thinking of you.
Chaplain(Captain) RyanKraus wants tobringthat warmthandcomfort tomorethan500members of theNational Guardservingoverseas.
So, when Kraus deploys in December, he hopes to take 500 hand knit helmet liners with him.
“Sooften, it’sthelittlethingsthat makeadifferencetothem,”saidKraus, aPresbyterianministerwhohasbeenpart of theNational Guardfor
10years. “Alittlecomfort cangoalongwaywhenyou’redoingsomethingdifficult ordangerous, whenyou’recoldorwet oruncomfortable. It’sa
reminder that people are supporting what we do and that people are behind us.”
Kraus, who has been activated before but
will be going overseas for the first time, en-
listed the help of avid knitter and fellow
PresbyterianLindaFrangos tohelpwiththe
project. He said his request was probably a
little overwhelming at first.
“It was kindof a bigorder, 500helmet lin-
ers by December,” Kraus said. “I didn’t
knowhowmany knitters it would take, but
I’mgrateful Linda offered to do this.”
Frangosadmittedtobeingalittleshocked
by the enormity of the task when she first
discussed it with Kraus.
“Everyone knows I’m an addicted knit-
ter,” saidFrangos, whomeets regularlywith
a group whose members make scarves and
other items to donate to various causes.
“One of the women in the knitting group
has a son in the Marines, and we made hel-
met liners for his unit of about 20,” Frangos
said. “When I heard Ryan was deploying, I
asked himif he wanted some helmet liners,
and how many he would need. He emailed
me back and said sure, the battalion has 500 soldiers.”
Frangos admits tobeingstaggeredbytheenormityof
the task, but only for a short time.
“We’re used to making 20 at a time and his battalion
will have 500, but he’s part of our Presbytery and we
thought this would be a great way to showour support
for Ryan and the troops if we could make enough that
everymemberof hisbattalioncouldhaveone,”shesaid.
“There’s a lot of knitters out there and I thought we
fought with IED’s,” she added, refer-
ring to the improvised explosive de-
vices that have caused numerous
deaths and injuries in Iraq and Af-
ghanistan.
For help with the yarn, Frangos
turned to the shop where she and her
friends gather toknit eachweek, Elec-
tric CityYarns. Shopowner EllenMu-
zi helpedthemtrackdowntheperfect
yarn — Plymouth Galway Pebble
Heather in color #752 —and procure
alargeenoughsupplytomake500hel-
met liners. Frangos said it will take
about 450 skeins of yarn to make that
many.
The project has been well received,
starting with the very first liner Fran-
gosmadeintheNational Guardcolors
that shetooktoaPresbyterymeeting.
“Ryantriedit onat themeetingand
I announcedwhat we were doing, and
I hadpeoplefromsixdifferent church-
es come up to me right away to say, ‘As soon as you get
the yarn, we’re ready to go,” she said.
As of this week, about 70helmet liners hadbeencom-
pleted, leavingmorethan400togo. Howlongit takesto
make one is dependent on the skill and experience of
the knitter, but Frangos estimates it takes about10to12
hours tocomplete a stockinette andribstitchliner. The
could do it.”
Thefirst task, Frangossaid, wastofindtheright yarn.
The colors worn by Marines are different than those
worn by the National Guard so they needed to find the
right color and couldn’t use what they had used before.
And the yarn had to be wool.
“Wool is always warmer, evenwhenit’s wet,” Frangos
explained. “And unlike acrylic yarns, wool doesn’t melt
when it’s exposed to fire. That’s important in a war

SABA REUNION HELD AT
ST. MARY’S ANTIOCHIAN CHURCH
Seven children of William John Saba and Marie Hathorne Saba cele-
brated with a family reunion June 18 at St. Mary’s Antiochian Church,
Wilkes-Barre. Ninety family members attended the event, which in-
cluded a catered dinner, games and family videos. Members came
from as far as Texas, California, Florida, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
Virginia and North Carolina. Margaret (Peggy) Malta orchestrated the
event and youngest sister, Carol, and her husband, Larry, brought a

was a beautiful looking car.”
Favorite author? “Rush Lim-
baugh.”
Favorite TV shows? “‘NCIS,’‘The
O’Reilly Factor,’ and ‘Cash
Cab.’”
Favorite vacation spot? “Wa-
leska, Georgia.”
Most memorable military expe-
rience? “I was involved with
the command center during the
Cuban missile crisis.”
Most influential person? “My
parents. My father was a coal
miner, and I could tell how hard
my parents had to work to
provide for the children so that
they could make it in life, and
have it easier than what they
had. Because they had it
tough.”
Memorable moment? “One thing
I’m really proud of is getting a
track scholarship to the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh. Other-
wise, I never would have gotten
to go to a major university
which had so much to offer.
And by going there, and being
on the track team — and being
half decent — I got to go and
run in places like Madison
Square Garden. We had a team
that was so good — we were the
best in the East and the Mid-
west — and we’d get invited to
these different places ... the
Convention Hall in Philadelphia,
the Chicago Cow Palace. We’d
fly, take cabs and stay in down-
town hotels. It was a different
world. A little kid from Warrior
Run, ending up in the big-time.”

knitters from the Presbytery and
Frangos’ knitting group are click-
ing away with their needles, but
Frangos and Kraus are hoping the
community at large will joininthe
effort to meet the goal.
Knowing that so many people
took the time to make them will
make the liners that much more
meaningful to the troops who get
them, said Kraus.
“It’s tough to go over there,”
saidKraus, whowill leavebehind
awifeandthreechildrenages 9, 6
and4 whenhe leaves for his year-
longdeployment. “Manyof these
men and women have deployed
before to Iraq or Afghanistan or
both, and it exacts a tough price
onthesoldiers andtheir families.
It’s really affirming of the work
we’re doing and the risks we’re
facing to have someone give you
something like this, and not just
something that they bought but
something they took the time to
make special for you. Getting an
unexpected gift like that is very
encouraging.”
For theknitters, it’sanother ina
list of projects they have under-
taken for various people in need,
from abused children to the
homeless to the military.
“It doesn’t have anything to do
with politics,” she said. “Making
the helmet liners is about taking
care of the people who are taking
careof you. Inthegrandschemeof
things, a helmet liner isn’t a big
deal. We may not know the head
it’s going on, but they knowsome-
one took the time to make some-
thing for them has to be comfort-
ing.”
Kraus said he knows it will help
the troops he will minister to
when they receive the liners.
“It’s just nice to know we’re not
forgotten, that we’re not alone,
that we’re taking a piece of some-
one else with us, that someone
cared enough to make us more
comfortable,” Kraus said. “Know-
ing someone took the time and ef-
fort tomakethis—that’saperson-
al investment of timeandskill that
lets us knowthat people really are
behind us.”

THEY WILL
run one more
race today with
Doc Mattioli’s
imprint all over
it as chief exec-
utive officer at
Pocono Race-
way.
Then the man who brought 40
years of thrills called NASCAR
to the uniquely odd-angled track
in Long Pond will turn over the
keys to the empire he built.
Forever.
“My wife and I felt that it’s
about time I got the hell out of
here,” Mattioli said during a
press conference Friday.
The truth is, he hasn’t been
around much for a while.
The wheelchair-bound auto
racing visionary has suffered
from a series of health problems
during the past few years, and
turned over most of the day-to-
day operations of the track to
family members long ago.
“He’s 86,” said driver Ryan
Newman, who called Doc Mat-
tioli and his wife Rose “good
people, good friends. He may
figure he put his time in.”
So time will move on without
the man who built NASCAR
history here.
But Joseph “Doc” Mattioli will
always be a part of Pocono Race-
way.
The track will always be iden-
tified with him, and how he
made it a mainstay in the sport
of auto racing.
“Great man,” veteran driver
Mark Martin called Mattioli.
“Great ambassador for us.”
Mattioli wasn’t always diplo-
matic about things.
Big shoes to fill
You don’t start with $48 and
turn an endeavor like NASCAR
racing into a $600 million oper-
ation the way Mattioli did at
Pocono by giving ground each
time someone asked.
But he took on two NASCAR
races each summer at a time
when many other track owners
didn’t see much revenue in the
idea. Mattioli spent 10 years
renovating the track in an effort
to upgrade safety for the drivers
without relinquishing the cool
turns that make the place identi-
fiable as the “Tricky Triangle.”
He staved off bids by Bruton
Smith to buy the track and
fought through criticism from
some drivers who always seem
to be angling for a smoother ride
at Pocono.
“We always felt that this was
something special,” Mattioli
said.
So was he.
“He made it what it is,” New-
man said of Mattioli. “I’ll say
Rose was a big part of that. She
stood by her man.”
Standing in Doc Mattioli’s
place are his grandchildren, after
the old man stepped down Fri-
day after the final setup for the
summer at Pocono was com-
plete but before the green flag
dropped on today’s Good Sam
RV Insurance 500.
Brandon Igdalsky will be the
CEO and president of Pocono
Raceway, his brother Nicholas
will become the COO and exec-
utive vice president and Ashley
will be the secretary and treasur-
er of Pocono Raceway. They all
get new titles to reflect the work
they’ve been doing running
Pocono for their grandfather

LONG POND – All Joey
Logano can control is what
he does in a NASCAR Sprint
Cup racecar.
The scuttlebutt, at least
for one day, will be on hold.
Logano piloted his No. 20
Toyota to the pole Saturday
for today’s Good Sam RV In-
surance 500, speeding past
the gossip and into the re-
cord books as the youngest
pole winner at Pocono Race-
way.
Kasey Kahne will start sec-
ond, Martin Truex Jr. third
and points leader Carl Ed-
wards fourth.
“Obviously, I had a really
fast racecar,” said the 21-
year-old Logano. “In qualify-
ing trim, it was really fast. I
think in race trim, I have a
pretty good car. You never
know here, though. The
track seems to change a lot
throughout the race.”

SAN FRANCISCO — The
toughestmatchupforColeHamels
might’ve come against teammate
Cliff Lee.
Hamels pitched a seven-hitter
for his first win in two weeks and
the Philadelphia Phillies wontheir
season-highninthina row, beating
the SanFranciscoGiants 2-1Satur-
day.
Hamels made
a pair of first-in-
ningrunsholdup
as the Phillies,
with the best re-
cord in the ma-
jors, defeated the
Giants for the
third straight
day.
Two days after
Lee threwa shut-
out, Hamels
(13-6) blanked
the Giants until
Pablo Sandoval’s
two-out home
run in the ninth
inning. Hamels
struck out five
and faced five batters more than
the minimum while dominating
the defending World Series
champs.
Hamels had only one victory in
his previous four starts and lost to
San Francisco 2-1 on July 27 de-
spite pitching into the eighth in-
ning and allowing only two runs
and six hits.
He was even stronger in the re-
match and got better results.
“I was one out away froma shut-
out,”Hamelssaidwithagrin. “Cliff
just got one. We’re all trying to
compete against each other.”
Hamels, who hadn’t won since
July 22, faced the minimum
through three innings, then gave
up back-to-back singles in the
fourth. He quickly worked out of
thejam, strikingout CarlosBeltran
on three pitches before Sandoval
grounded into a 4-6-3 double play
in the first pitch.
SanFranciscodidn’t get another
runner until the seventh, and had
two on with two outs in the eighth
but failed to score each time.

The Wilkes-Barre
Triathlon, which
celebrates its 30th
birthday next Sun-
day, has been a fix-
ture of the Wyoming
Valley since its inception. It’s
also been a staple of consis-
tency that has created a com-
fort zone for the dedicated
athletes who make sure the
event is circled on their calen-
dars.
There has really been only
one major change since the
inaugural running of the race in
1981—it’s now strictly for ama-
teurs.
For 25 years, it was a national
event that attracted some of the
world’s top professional ath-
letes. During the early years,
the prize money was as high as
$30,000.
It later dwindled to $7,500,
and in 2006 it became a race
strictly for fun.
“We decided on giving small-
er prizes and no purse money

For a such a severe test of
physical fitness, a barroom
seems like an odd birthplace.
But that is exactly where
three friends came up with the
idea of holding an annual
triathlon in the Back Moun-
tain.
Rich Connor, Tim Bauman
and the late Rusty Flack decid-
ed to hold the annual event
one night while discussing the
Ironman over a few drinks.
“I used to vigorously con-
tend it was Monty’s, but Rusty
Flack, who had a better memo-
ry than I and was a stickler for
details, said it was the old
Uptown,” said Connor.
“A group of us were gathered
around a bar and someone
began discussing the Ironman.
Several of those present had
seen it on television and were
amazed at the grueling nature
of the event. Someone said we
should do a mini-version of the
Ironman by staging this up-
and-coming sporting event – a
Idea for annual event
originated in barroom

LONG POND – It will be a tripleheader
today at Pocono Raceway thanks to Mother
Nature.
Rain washed away the Camping World
Truck Series and ARCA Series races on Sat-
urday, making for a busy Sunday.
That is, if the rain holds off today, which
isn’t a certainty considering the forecast.
The truck race started about 1 p.m. Sat-
urday and rain began falling shortly thereaf-
ter, halting the event 17 laps into the sched-
ule 50-lap event. Parker Klingerman was
leading when the drivers were stopped on pit
road. The race
will resume at 9
a.m. today and
be broadcast on
SPEED.
The 50-lap ARCA race was scheduled to
get the green flag at 3 p.m. Saturday. It will
start today shortly after the completion of the
truck race. SPEED will show it on tape delay
at 10 p.m.
Heavy rain persisted throughout Saturday
before Pocono decided to cancel all track
activities about 5:30 p.m.

Paczewski finishes 4th
Dallas resident Logan Pac-
zewski competed against 85
golfers his age from across the
globe this weekend.
And only three golfers fin-
ished ahead of him.
The 7-year-old son of Eric and
Jennifer Paczewski placed
fourth in the three-day U.S. Kids
World Championship in Pine-
hurst, N.C. Last year, Paczewski
finished 17th in his age group.
He finished this year’s event
with a nine-hole score of 37 on
Saturday and with a three-day
total of 110.
Paczewski finished with the
second-best score by American
golfers. Jackson Van Paris of
Illinois placed third with 108.
Jed Dy of the Philippines won
the tournament with a score of
101. Jeevan Sihota of Canada
finished second with a score of
105. Paczewski posted a 36 on
the first day and a 37 on each of
the last two days of play.
The World Championship
features more than 1,200 partici-
pants in different age divisions
from across the United States
and more than 30 countries.
Paczewski’s age bracket
played three 9-hole rounds on
the front nine of the Mid Pines
course, which totaled 1,700
yards, at the Pinehurst Resort.
Players ages 6 to 12 qualify for
the World Championship
through World Championship
qualifiers, local tours, European
and Regional Championships,
and performance in previous
World Championships.
Logan qualified for the World
Championship by winning the
Philadelphia region.

On This Date
1. Brody Colvin, starting
pitcher, Single-A Clearwater:
With the trades of first base-
man Jonathan Singleton and
Jarred Cosart to the Astros,
Colvin assumed the top spot in
the rankings, moving up from
No. 3. He has a 2-6 record in
17 starts with a 4.25 ERA and
62 strikeouts in 89 innings.
2. Sebastian Valle, catcher,
Single-A Clearwater: The 21-
year-old is batting .303 with
five home runs, 37 RBI and an
on-base percentage of .329 in
290 at-bats for the Threshers.
The righty has struggled over
his last 10 games, hitting just

nearly 30 points.
3. Jesse Biddle, starting
pitcher, Low-A Lakewood: The
left-handed first-round pick
from 2010 has a 5-7 record
with a 3.20 ERA and 109

2
⁄3 innings.
Hitters are batting just .225
against him in 21 games (20

4. Trevor May, starting pitch-
er, Single-A Clearwater: A
strikeout machine, he’s fanned
169 in 124
1
⁄3 innings, going 8-6
with a 3.40 ERA. He’s had four
double-digit strikeout games
for the Threshers, with his
season-high being 14.
5. Aaron Altherr, outfielder,
Short Season Single-A William-
sport: For the Crosscutters, he’s
batting .280 in 45 games. He
was demoted from Lakewood
earlier this season and has
picked up the pace recently
going nine for his last 31 to
raise his average. He’s put up a
.248 average with six home
runs and 35 RBI and 26 stolen
bases overall in the minors this
season.
6. Cesar Hernandez, second
base, Single-A Clearwater: The
switch-hitting 21-year-old has
played in 94 games for the
Threshers this year, posting a
.252 average with four home
runs, 30 RBI and 18 stolen
bases.
7. Justin De Fratus, reliever,
Triple-A Lehigh Valley: A
righty, he’s made 18 appear-
ances for the IronPigs this
season, going 2-1 with a 4.50
ERA after being promoted
from Reading. His minor
league totals this season are 6-1
with a 3.13 ERA, 75 strikeouts
and 10 saves in 60
1

1
⁄3 innings. The 6-foot-5,
200-pounder has struck out 96
for Clearwater.
10. Phillippe Aumont, relief
pitcher, Triple-A Lehigh Valley:
The righty, who was one of the
chips in the Cliff Lee trade to
Seattle in 2009, doesn’t have
an impressive record (1-5) this
season – which started in Dou-
ble-A Reading – but he’s held
minor league hitters to a .211
batting average in 34 games
with the R-Phils and the Iron-
Pigs. The 6-foot-7, 255-pounder
has combined for a 2.30 ERA
and 61 strikeouts in 43 innings
overall in the minors.

Russ Canzler: The Hazleton
Area grad, who is an out-
fielder for Durham, the Tri-
ple-A affiliate of the Tampa
Bay Rays, has been hot lately
and has raised his batting
average over the .300 mark.
He is now hitting .305 with
14 home runs, 31 doubles and
65 RBI in 103 games for the
Bulls. Over his last 10 games,
the former Cubs prospect is
hitting .381 (16-for-42) with
two home runs and three
doubles.
Cory Spangenberg: An
Abington Heights grad and
the 10th overall draft pick by
the Padres last month got off
to a stellar start for the
Short-Season Eugene (Ore.)
Emeralds and was promoted
to Class-A Fort Wayne (Ind.)
in the Midwest League.
After hitting .384 for the
Emeralds, he has struggled
early on for the Tin Caps.
He’s batting .145 (11-for-76)
with 7 RBI and four stolen
bases in 20 games. Overall in
the minors, he’s batting .272
(44-for-162) with a home run,
27 RBI and 14 stolen bases in
45 games.

Hazleton Area graduate Canzler has impressive week for Durham
By DAVE ROSENGRANT

Jesus Montero, Manny Ba-
nuelos, Adam Warren, and Ivan
Nova all have something in
common. All four of them have
been rumored as the names in
which other teams asked for
leading up to the non-waiver
trade deadline last month.
However, they have more in
common then just rumors.
Today is Sunday, Aug. 7 and
all four are still a major part of
the New York Yankee orga-
nization.
Perhaps none plays a bigger
role in New York’s success than
former Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
pitcher Ivan Nova. He broke
camp with the big club and
was performing fairly well in
the absence of Phil Hughes.
However, once Hughes return-
ed, Nova was sent back down
to Triple-A.
He made three starts with
the Baby Bombers, going at
least seven innings in two of
them. He compiled a record of
1-2 with an ERA of 3.38. He
struck out 18 while walking
just two batters.
Nova’s third start in Triple-A
was cut short as he left in the
second inning after injuring his
ankle. However, he wasn’t
sidelined long after the ankle
injury. He was back in time to
start the second game of a
day/night double-header
against Baltimore. He earned
the win by throwing seven
innings and allowing just two
runs on six hits.
Nova was stellar in a start
Thursday in Chicago against
the White Sox. He raised he
record to 10-4, giving up six
hits and one run over 7
2
⁄3 in-
nings and striking out 10.
Nova may be helping the big
club right now, but the other
three are still honing their
skills in Triple-A.
The two players other teams
wanted the most were Montero
and Banuelos. Both players are
happy to still be wearing the
pinstripes.
Montero said the July
31deadline was just like any
other day for him.
“I was not nervous, I was
fine,” the Yankees’ top catching
prospect and No. 1 overall
prospect said. “I was just play-
ing baseball and doing the
same thing I do every other
day.”
He went on to admit he
could not control the situation,
but he is happy the Yankees
decided to hang on to him.
“I did not know what they
were going to do. I have noth-
ing to do with it,” Montero
said. “I just keep playing hard
and trying my best to help the
team win games.”
This year is much like last
year for Montero. In 2010 he
got off to a slower start and
then picked it up. He is doing
much of the same this year and
has gotten the attention of
New York Yankees General
Manager Brian Cashman.
“This is the part of the year
he broke out last year, right
before the trading deadline,”
Cashman said. “He started to
take off and have a monster
year. This is the time of the
year and the stretch drive he
might shine.”
Part of Montero’s recent
hitting explosion was crushing
a Scott Mathieson 97 mph
fastball over the left-center
field wall at PNC Field in a 3-2
Yankee victory over the Iron-
Pigs last week.
Like Montero, Cashman
feels Banuelos has a high ceil-
ing. He has recently been pro-
moted to Triple-A and made
his first start on Aug. 2 against
Lehigh Valley.
Although he was not cred-
ited with the win, Banuelos did
pitch well in his Triple-A de-
but. The Yankee southpaw
allowed just two runs on seven
hits in five innings.
‘He’s got great stuff and he
was ready to take the next
step, which was Triple-A,”
Cashman said. “He will contin-
ue to work with our coaching
staff here and hopefully get
ready for the big leagues.
When that will be, time will
tell.”
Adam Warren wasn’t as big
of a part of the trade rumors as
much as the other three, but he
did admit he had some nerves
leading up to the 4 p.m. dead-
line one week ago.
“To say we didn’t think
about it would be a lie,” War-
ren said. “Obviously we’re with
the Yankees and they’re trying
to get the best team possible
and trades are always a possi-
bility.
“I just kept trying to go
about my business and the
deadline is passed and I am
still here,” Warren said with a
chuckle.

LONG POND – Souvenirs and
NASCARgo hand-in-hand.
Behindthegrandstands at Poco-
noRaceway, souvenir haulers with
gigantic images of the drivers offer
just about anything fans would
want to showtheir loyalty.
The biggest bargains and – de-
pending on the perspective – the
hidden gems are inside the track.
Under thewhitetentsalongtheac-
cess road.
For years, a Starting Lineup fig-
ure of Neal Anderson took refuge
under one of these tents. The plas-
tic cover was so weather beaten
that it looked like the figurine of
the Chicago Bears running back
had fogged it up while gasping for
air.
Anderson is gone, but there are
other quite unique offerings.
Here’s a sample of them:
JIMMYSPENCERTANKTOP:
For just three bucks, you can be
ready when the Berwick native
makeshistriumphantreturntothe
Sprint Cup Series.
Of course, that won’t happen
since Spencer has shown no in-
kling of a comeback. Nor will you
be able to fit into the shirt unless
you’re about 5-foot-6 and no more
than 150 pounds. It’s a medium,
but a small medium.
STERLING MARLIN FLAG:
Marlin hasn’t raced fulltime since
2006, so this is certainly a collec-
tor’s item. But for $34.95, thepack-
age might be collecting a little
more grime before someone
springs for it.
Perhaps a deal could be worked
out if pairedwiththe SterlingMar-
linchainwallet, whichis alsoavail-
able.
LAUREL&HARDYJEEP: Lau-
rel and Hardy were a comic duo
whomadetheirmarkmainlyinthe
1920s and 1930s. So who came up
with the idea to put them in a toy
jeep? And what kid would even
play with something like this? But
it’s a bargain, maybe, for $5.
JAKEDELHOMMESHIRT: On
the front is “Got Jake? We do.” On
the back, more references to the
NFL quarterback’s days with the
Carolina Panthers. Estimate year
of production is 2004, which was
Delhomme’s best season with the
Panthers.
After a few poor seasons, most
Panthers fans were happy to see
him go. But even for just $3, the
shirt will probably stay put.
DALE EARNHARDT STUFF-
ED CAR: It’s too small to be a pil-
lowandtoosoft tobeatoy. Andit’s
beat up close to beyond recogni-
tion, even the packaging. It looks
likeit’sbeendraggedfromtheback
of atruckfromLongPondtoChar-
lotte.
No price was on it, so maybe it
could be had very, very cheaply.
DALE EARNHARDT JR. SU-
PERSPEEDBOUNCEBALL: Just
shows that NASCAR marketing
has gone too far whenyoucanbuy
a rubber ball with a driver on it.
Maybe drivers toss these out the
windowto get one of those myste-
riousdebriscautions?Whoknows.
But forabuck, it couldbeareally
steal.
FORMER DRIVERS STUFF:
Man, youcantrickout yourvehicle
and kick it old school. Getting the
JohnnyBensonlicenseplateframe
for $10, the Ward Burton bumper
stickerfor$5andassortedwindow
stickers fromjust about any driver
evertohopinaCupcarcouldmake
for auniquelooktoapassenger ve-
hicle.
OFF-COLOR T-SHIRTS: Not
off-color as in the fabric shade, al-
though some of the cheap shirts
available have noticeable discolor-
ing from hours upon hours under
the sun.
No, these shirts – available for
$10 each – range from somewhat
comical to incredibly vulgar de-
pending on the perspective.
NY/NJ HITMAN HAT: Re-
member the XFL, that ill-fated
football league formed by wres-
tling entrepreneur Vince McMa-
hon? Well an authentic Hitman
hat, whichis at least10years old, is
available. Oops, was available.
It seems fromthe last June race
to Saturday, someone snagged it
along the line for $10. Lesson
learned. See something under the
white tents, buy it before it’s gone.
From the unusual to the downright strange, these shops have it
Out-of-date shirts and other
oddities are sure to be found
at trackside shops.

LONG POND — With six
races left before the Chase be-
gins, the gamblers out on the
track could be rewarded. And
that’s just fine for Kasey Kahne
and Martin Truex Jr.
Neither driver is in line to
claim one of the 12 berths in
NASCAR’spostseasonat themo-
ment. But all that could change
with a win in today’s Good Sam
RV Insurance 500 at Pocono
Raceway.
That’s because one of the new
changes tothe Sprint CupSeries
for 2011was the inclusion of two
wild card spots for the Chase.
Twelve drivers still qualify for
the Chase, but this year the top
12 in points won’t get in. The
first 10 in the standings will
make it, but the final two berths
will go to the remaining drivers
with the most wins – provided
they are at least 20th in total
points after the 26-race regular
season.
Kahne and Truex qualified
second and third, respectively,
for today’s race behind Joey Lo-
gano. Both are hoping to parlay
that starting position into a vic-
tory that would resurrect their
seasons.
That means it’s worth it to
take some chances out on the
track.
“I care because I want to make
the Chase,” Kahne said. “We just
need to keep working on (get-
tingthat first win) becausewe’ve
been close. We’ve had a good car
at a lot of races, but we haven’t
put together that one great race.
“If we can just win one, stay
consistent, and keep the points,
we’ll have a shot at it. We just
have to get that first one, stay at
it, and hopefully get in.”
Kahne has a bit more flexibil-
ity, entering today at 15th in the
points standings. But a first-
place finish (or two) is critical
for Truex, who is tied for 22nd.
That might mean trying to
stretchthefuel windowtosteal a
win. Maybe taking a risk by only
changing two tires on an impor-
tant pit stop. Both strategies are
especially viable at Pocono, an
infamously long race where the
best car doesn’t always win.
Truex and his creware willing
to try anything for a win.
“That would be great. We’re
all optimistic,” Truex said.
“We’re workinghardtomake the
car better and find some consis-
tency. It’s beena toughseason. A
lot of DNFs and some crummy
luck at other places. We haven’t
been consistent enough.
“Our new crew chief (Chad
Johnson) has really helped. It’s
just that we have one goodweek,
one bad week. … But I feel like
we’re heading in the right direc-
tion. I feel we should easily be in
the top 20 in points by the end,
so we’ve got to run up front and
win a couple races and hope to
make something out of our sea-
son.”
Kahne and Truex are far from
the only two looking to gain
ground.
Denny Hamlin, historically
dominant at Pocono Raceway, is
right on the edge of it all, enter-
ing today’s race at 11th in the
points standings.
That doesn’t guarantee him a
spot, but he has a slight comfort
level because he does have a win
this season. Hamlin took first at
Michigan the week after the first
Pocono race in June. He will
start sixth today.
Hamlin, Paul Menard (14th)
and David Ragan (16th) lead the
wildcardrace as the only drivers
outside the top10 who have won
a race.
Brad Keselowski (21st) and
Regan Smith (26th) also have a
first-place finish on their re-
sumes but must climb up the
standings tobeeligiblefor awild
card spot.
Keselowski suffered a broken
ankle in a crash earlier this week
but isn’t about to take time off to
recover. He qualified13th for to-
day’s race.
Win at Pocono could
land driver in Chase
New format means some
teams may take big gambles
on victory today.

RACING IN PAIN
Brad Keselowski qualified
13th, anamazing feat after a wide
ride he had earlier this week.
Keselowski was practicing at
Road Atlanta when his No. 2
Dodgecrashedheadonintoabar-
rier. Keselowski was airlifted
from the track after suffering a
back injury, anincredibly swollen
left ankle and other injuries. (Go
to youtube.comto see the ankle).
“This is about the worst time
knowingwe’recominguponthe
Chase, knowing we need anoth-
er wintoget in, knowingthat we
have tracks coming up that re-
quire a lot of finesse with brakes
– Watkins Glen and here at Po-
cono,” Keselowski said.
Keselowski is 21st in points
and just 16 points out of 20th. If
he can break the top 20 after the
next sixraces andpickupanoth-
er victory to go with his win at
Kansas, he’ll likely get a wild-
card spot in the Chase.
“I’m not going to get out (of
the car),” Keselowski said. “I
don’t care how much it hurts.
That’s not going to happen.”
NOT HIS WORST
Jeff Gordon won at Pocono in
June, but his qualifyingeffort Sat-
urday was nothing to cheer
about.
Gordon qualified at surpris-
ing 31st, snapping a streak of
six consecutive top-10 starting
positions at the track.
Still, it isn’t the worst Gordon
has started at Pocono. In June
2008, he started 38th and fin-
ished 14th.
CUP DEBUT
Jason White will make his
Sprint Cup debut today, driving
the No. 32 Fordfor owner Frank
Stoddard.
“I’mreally looking forward to
making my first Cup start at Po-
cono this weekend,” said
White, who will start 41st.
“Racing in the Sprint Cup Se-
ries has always been a goal of
mine and this weekend is a ma-
jor milestone in my career.”
White is a regular inthe truck
series and has raced in the Na-
tionwide Series.

So does the status of drivers
around this time of the season
as rumors abound about who
will be where the following sea-
son.
Joe Gibbs Racing made a big
push to land Edwards for 2012
until he re-upped with Roush
Fenway Racing this week.
Gibbs’ attempt to sign Edwards
started a speculative domino ef-
fect that hauled in Logano, ei-
ther moving him to a new
fourth Gibbs team or out the
door.
“As far as I knew, they were
just rumors,” Logano said. “Un-
til my bosses – Joe (Gibbs) or
J.D. (Gibbs) – tell me I’m not
driving, that’s when I’ll know it.
What was I really going to ask
them? So, I just focused in 100
percent like I’ve been through-
out my career and make myself
the best racecar driver I can and
trying to help my team out.”
Logano helped out by allow-
ing Gibbs to have all three of his
cars starting in the top 11 today
with his third career pole. He
hadn’t qualified higher than
12th in five previous Pocono
starts. Teammates Denny Ham-
lin and Kyle Busch will start
sixth and 11th, respectively.
While Hamlin has been dom-
inant at Pocono and Busch a
mixed bag, Logano hasn’t been
much of a threat. He finished
11th in the June race, but his av-
erage finish at the 2.5-mile tri-
oval is 19.8.
The pole, though, could lead
to a much better finish and per-
haps even his second victory in
his 96th Cup start. Pole win-
ners have won 13 of 67 Cup
races at the track, the most of
any starting position.
“Obviously, starting up front
with clean air is worth a million
bucks here. It’s unreal,” Logano
said. “It’s like that everywhere
now since the cars are so close.
Being able to start up front, get-
ting a good pit stall, is going to
help us out a lot for Sunday. I’m
pretty pumped up about that.”
Even if Logano’s future re-
mains unclear.
“It’s in the back of your
mind,” Logano said. “Obvious-
ly, it’s not in your mind when
you’re out there racing. When
you get in a racecar, that’s your
time to just say the heck with
what everyone is saying. You’re
just driving and that’s nice.”

BOSTON (AP) — Jacoby
Ellsbury had a three-run
homer with a career-high six
RBIs as the Boston Red Sox
continued their mastery of CC
Sabathia and beat the Yankees
10-4 on Saturday, ending New
York’s eight-game winning
streak and moving back into a
tie atop the AL East.
Carl Crawford had four hits
— giving him hits in six
straight plate appearances —
and scored three runs to help
Boston improve to 69-42 —
the same as the Yankees —
one day after falling out of
first for the first time in al-
most a month.
John Lackey (10-8) scat-
tered six hits over six innings
for the Red Sox, who are 9-2
against New York this season
and have clinched at least a
tie in the season series.
Sabathia (16-6) leads the
majors in wins, and his 2.55
ERA coming into the game
was tied for fifth. But he fell
to 0-4 with a 7.20 ERA against
Boston this year after allow-
ing seven runs in six innings
on Saturday, giving up nine
hits and a walk and striking
out six.
Lackey allowed three runs
— he also walked two and hit
two batters — while striking
out five to win his fifth con-
secutive decision.
Tigers 4, Royals 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
Justin Verlander lasted seven
innings despite some balky
defense behind him and the
Detroit Tigers hung on to beat
the Kansas City Royals 4-3 on
Saturday night, moving their
ace into a tie for the major
league lead in wins.
Verlander (16-5) won his
fifth straight start and im-
proved to 13-2 in his career
against Kansas City. The AL
Cy Young Award contender
allowed three runs on five hits
with eight strikeouts in anoth-
er solid performance.
White Sox 6, Twins 1
MINNEAPOLIS — Zach
Stewart threw six sharp in-
nings in his White Sox debut,
Paul Konerko drove in two
runs and Brent Lillibridge
added a late two-run homer as
Chicago beat the Minnesota
Twins 6-1 on Saturday night.
The White Sox secured the
first series win against their
division rivals since 2009, and
first in Minnesota since 2007.
Athletics 8, Rays 0
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —
Brandon McCarthy pitched
five-hit ball for eight innings,
David DeJesus homered twice
and the Oakland Athletics
earned a rare road victory by
beating the Tampa Bay Rays
8-0 on Saturday night.
McCarthy (5-5) helped
Oakland win for just the
eighth time in its last 38
games away from home. He
struck out five before Fautino
De Los Santos finished up
with a hitless ninth.
Orioles 6, Blue Jays 2
BALTIMORE — Adam
Jones hit a three-run homer in
the sixth inning after Brandon
Morrow was perfect through
five, and the Baltimore
Orioles rallied to beat the
Toronto Blue Jays 6-2 Sat-
urday night.
Chris Tillman (3-4) allowed
two runs and four hits over
seven innings to earn his first
win since May 11. Called up
from Triple-A Norfolk before
the game for his third stint
with Baltimore, the right-
hander struck out five and
walked one to help the Orioles
secure their third win in 11
games.

The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Kyle
Blanks hit a grand slam and
drove in five runs as the San
Diego Padres sent the free-
falling Pittsburgh Pirates to
their ninth straight loss, 13-2
Saturday night.
The Pirates were in first
place on July 26, but have drop-
ped 11 of 12 while plummeting
out of the NL Central lead.
Pittsburgh fell nine game be-
hind division-leading Milwau-
kee.
Fans at PNC Park booed as
the game got out of hand, leav-
ing Pittsburgh at 0-6 on its
homestand. Blanks’ slam off
Chris Resop in the seventh
inning made it 11-1.
Last in the National League
in runs and homers, San Diego
has pounded Pirates pitching
for 28 runs and five home runs
in winning the first two games
of the series. The last-place
Padres have won three in a row
overall.
Brewers 7, Astros 5
HOUSTON — Prince Fielder
finished a triple shy of the cycle
and drove in four runs, and the
Milwaukee Brewers won for the
10th time in 11 games by beat-
ing the Houston Astros 7-5
Saturday night.
Fielder hit a three-run homer
in the first, singled in the third
and notched an RBI double in
the sixth, giving him 83 RBIs
for the season. Yuniesky Be-
tancourt had four hits with an
RBI, and Ryan Braun had two
hits and scored twice for Mil-
waukee.
Chris Narveson (8-6) went 5
1-3 innings, allowing four runs
on five hits. He struck out four
in earning his fourth win in five
decisions. John Axford gave up
a run in the ninth but finished
for his 32nd save.
Carlos Lee, J.D. Martinez and
Clint Barmes all hit homer for
Houston.
Cubs 11, Reds 4
CHICAGO — Carlos Zam-
brano homered and pitched six
solid innings, and the streaking
Chicago Cubs beat the Cincin-
nati Reds 11-4 on Saturday.
The Cubs pounded Reds
starter Johnny Cueto for five
runs and seven hits in 3 2-3
innings and have won seven
straight games for the first time
since Aug. 23-29, 2008.
Starlin Castro drove in four
runs for Chicago, his highest
RBI total since he drove in six
in his major league debut May
5, 2010. He doubled and sin-
gled, raising his NL-best hit
total to 148.
Carlos Pena doubled twice,
walked, was hit by a pitch and
drove in three runs for Chicago.
Aramis Ramirez reached base
four times on two singles, a
walk and a hit by pitch and
scored twice.
Cardinals 2, Marlins 1
MIAMI — Albert Pujols hit a
two-run homer in the first in-
ning, then Chris Carpenter and
the St. Louis bullpen made it
stand up Saturday night in a 2-1
win over the Florida Marlins.
Carpenter (7-8) gave five hits
over 6 2-3 innings as the Cardi-
nals won for the fourth time in
five games.
Fernando Salas, the fifth
Cardinals pitcher, worked a
scoreless ninth for his 21st save
in 24 chances.

he news made me cringe.
Late last month the Pennsylva-
nia Fish and Boat Commission
announced that it will sell gas leases to
the thousands of acres it owns around
streams and lakes.
The agency also said it intends to sell
water fromits lakes to the gas industry.
At the time, it seemed like the PFBC
was determined to sell anything it could
to the gas industry. What’s next? Trout
fromthe state hatcheries so gas compa-
nies can feed their workers?
Kidding aside, the PFBCis taking
some major precautions with the deal
and things could’ve been much worse.
While the PFBCboard will soon vote
on the proposal to lease the agency’s
property to the gas industry, it doesn’t
necessarily mean that anglers will soon
be fishing in the shadows of drilling rigs.
PFBCcommissioner NormGavlick,
who represents the northeast region,
said no drilling will take place on agency
property nor will any equipment be
allowed there. The agency is basically
selling the gas underneath its property
and the drilling companies will access it
via nearby properties.
“They will be drilling on properties
adjacent to some of ours and going
underneath,” Gavlick said. “If they’re
going to go under our land, we might as
well get some funding out of it.”
Makes sense. But with so many ques-
tions remaining about impact that gas
drilling has on the environment, per-
haps it would be better for the PFBCto
wait a bit before agreeing to leases.
Sure, the additional revenue the agency
will realize is a benefit, but what good is
it if the resource (fish, water, land, etc.)
is compromised?
At the very least, the agency deserves
credit for not allowing any drilling to
take place on its property. That alone is
somewhat comforting.
Selling water fromPFBC-owned
lakes, however, isn’t.
The concern doesn’t really center
around the fact the the agency is selling
water. Gavlick said the water will be
pumped out of the lake and piped to
another location where trucks will pull
in and fill up. That way, he said, truck
traffic around the lakes won’t be an
issue.
Here’s the problem, though: Gavlick
said by selling the water directly out of
the lakes, it allows the PFBCto better
manage and monitor the situation as
opposed to having gas companies with-
drawthe water on other properties from
the streams that feed the lakes.
Does that mean the agency doesn’t
trust the protections and controls that
are already in place by the state when it
comes to water withdrawals?
Consider this comment made by
commissioner Robert Bachman in
Pennsylvania Outdoor News: “There’s
less impact on our resources by leasing
our properties where we have some
control over what is going on,’’ Bach-
man said.
That’s troubling for two reasons.
First, Bachman’s statement indicates
that there isn’t enough oversight of the
gas industry, so the PFBCfeels it neces-
sary to take the matter into its own
hands.
Second, Bachman is basically ad-
mitting that the water withdrawals on
streams do have an impact. Howmuch
of an impact isn’t clear, but obviously it’s
enough of one that Bachman thinks can
be lessened.
Sure, this potential marriage between
the PFBCand gas industry could be
worse. The agency does deserve some
credit for placing some important re-
strictions on the leases and being pro-
active with the water withdrawal issue.
But in the end, the entire deal raises
yet more questions about just how
much of an impact gas drilling has on
the environment and if there really are
enough protections in place.

George Vernoski measures a wild brook
trout from the Lehigh River. The fish was
one of several trout found during an elec-
trofishing survey along the shoreline of the
river last week.
What is a fingerling trout?
According to Pierce, a fingerling trout is less
than a year old and is three to five inches in
length if it’s a brown trout, and four to six
inches long if it’s a rainbow.
Rainbows grow the fastest, and Pierce has
found them to reach nine to 10 inches in
length several months after they were
released.

PGC posts bear age data
Hunters interested in learning
the age of the bear they harvest-
ed during the 2010 seasons can
log onto the Pennsylvania Game
Commission’s website
(www.pgc.state.pa.us). To ac-
cess the database providing this
information, click on “Hunt/
Trap” in the menu bar at the top
of the page, then click on “Hunt-
ing,” scroll down and click on
“Black Bear” in the “Big Game”
listing, and then scroll down
and click on “Black Bear Age
Data” in the “Reference” listing.
Ages are available only for
bears from which a tooth was
pulled. To access the data and
learn the age of their bear, a
hunter will need to have their
legal seal number from the
check station certificate. If the
hunter no longer has the seal
number, age data also is provid-
ed in charts broken down by
county of harvest.
In 2010, Pennsylvania’s 161,119
licensed bear hunters took 3,090
bears, which is the state’s fifth
highest harvest recorded in
Pennsylvania. The record bear
harvest of 4,164 was set in 2005.
Elk license deadline nears
Hunters looking to participate
in this year’s Pennsylvania elk
season have until Aug. 26 to
submit an application through
the Pennsylvania Game Com-
mission’s Pennsylvania Auto-
mated License System (PALS).
This can be done at any issuing
agent or through the “Buy Your
Elk License” icon in the center
of the agency’s homepage
(www.pgc.state.pa.us).
Applicants must pay a $10.70
non-refundable application fee
to be included in the drawing.
Details on the elk season and

“I thinkwe didreally well for

“I’mexcitedtosee fingerlingtrout

You can help
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is employing several
methods to determine how
many fingerling stocked trout
survive and are caught in the
Lehigh River. Aside from
talking to anglers along the
river, the Lehigh Coldwater
Fishery Alliance has erected
numerous boxes along the
river for anglers to fill out
and deposit a survey card
outlining what they caught.
PFBC biologist Daryl Pierce
said the survey cards are
critically important to the
fingerling trout study.
“We want to see a certain
percentage of these
fingerling trout returned to
the anglers, and these cards
will tell us if that’s
happening,” he said. “This
entire program is about
enhancing the fishery that’s here by having trout for anglers to
catch.”
Anglers can also report their catch to the agency by downloading a
Lehigh River Angler Log from the PFBC website
(www.fish.state.pa.us). The log book contains information about the
program and sketches of what a fin-clipped trout looks like.
Lastly, Pierce said if anyone catches a fin-clipped trout on the
Lehigh, they can simply call the PFBC region office – 477-5717, and
report it.
What other aquatic life was found
Trout weren’t the only aquatic life that Pierce found in the Lehigh
River on Thursday. Here’s a look at what Pierce netted in a
200-meter stretch of the river below the Frances Walter Dam (and
the family they belong to):
- Tessellated darter (perch)
- Margined madtom (catfish)
- American eel
- Sea lamprey
- Blacknose and longnose dace (minnow)
- Cutlips minnow (minnow)
- Smallmouth bass (sunfish)
Other fish that Pierce finds in the Lehigh River include white
suckers, fallfish, common shiner, yellow perch, black crappie, bluegill
and pumpkinseed.
“There’s a lot of diversity in this river,” Pierce said.

AKRON, Ohio — Ryo Ishikawa
amazedevenhis peers inacharity-
driven sport when he pledged in
March to donate his entire earn-
ings on the golf course to the tsu-
nami relief fund in his native Ja-
pan.
He could double the donation
SundayinaWorldGolf Champion-
ship that is surprising even him.
Coming off a missed cut in Ja-
pan, never better than 20th in
strokeplayinAmerica, the19-year-
oldsensationmade sixbirdies and
twice escaped trouble in the trees
Saturday for a 6-under 64 that put
himinthefinal groupandonlyone
shot behind Adam Scott in the
Bridgestone Invitational.
Alongwitha$1.4millionpayoff,
Ishikawacouldbecometheyoung-
est winner of a PGATour event in
100 years.
“I think it’s a little too early to
think about winning this whole
thing as of now,” Ishikawa said.
“But I dofeel that I wasabletoplay
at a pretty goodlevel, apretty high
level today. Actually, I’m a little
surprised of how I performed out
there.”
Scott turned his fortunes
around when decided to stick
what was working, going to a fade
off the tee. He poured in four bird-
ies on the back nine for a 4-under
66, giving the 31-year-old Austra-
lian a shot at his first World Golf
Championship.
Scott was at 12-under 198, the
lowest 54-hole score at Firestone
in10 years. He will play in the last
group with Ishikawa. In front of
them will be Jason Day, whose 66
put himone shot behind. Day and
Scott tied for second in the Mas-
ters this year.
About the only thing Tiger
Woods can now get out of this
week are four rounds and some
points to help him qualify for the
FedEx Cup playoffs at the end of
the month. Woods, a seven-time
winner at Firestone who hasn’t
played in nearly three months,
struggled again with his putting
and had a 72. He was 13 shots be-
hindina tie for 38thinthe 76-man
field.
“I’ve just got to put together a
good round and let it build,”
Woods said.
Scott in the lead should be com-
pelling enough, especially with
Woodsbacktogolf. It wasonlytwo
weeks ago when Woods an-
nounced he had fired his caddie,
Steve Williams, and Scott then
hired himon a full-time basis.
But that’s became old news be-
cause of one of the youngest play-
ers in the field.
Ishikawa might be the only oth-
er player ingolf toappreciatewhat
it’sliketoget attentionlikeWoods.
He has been a star in Japan since
hewonhisfirst tournament asa15-
year-old amateur, and his 10 wins
on the Japan Golf Tour include
shooting a 58 in the final round to
win The Crowns.
He has earned so much respect
from his peers that Scott, even
though he was leading, was not
the least bit bothered to spend
most of hisinterviewtalkingabout
the kid once known as the “Shy
Prince.”
“I first sawhiminJapanwhenhe
was15, andhe hadalready wonan
even over there. I mean, this kid is
really amazing,” Scott said. “I
think this week is really big for
him. It’sgreat that he’splayingwell
over here probably for the first
time, if I’mnot mistaken, first time
he’s really challenging at a world
event.

Tiger Woods is seen on the fifth tee with his caddie Bryon Bell
during Saturday’s round of the Bridgestone.
John Daly felt as though he had
nothing to lose.
In his eyes, his rookie year on
the PGATour already was suc-
cessful. The 25-year-old from
Arkansas had a pair of top-10s
and earned $166,590 —decent
money in1991—to assure that
he would keep his card. It also
was enough to make himthe
ninth alternate for the PGA
Championship at Crooked Stick.
So he thought nothing of an
eight-hour drive through the
night to Indiana, with no guaran-
tee he would play until he
checked into his hotel in the early
morning hours and sawthe mess-
age light on his phone. Nick Price
had withdrawn fromthe final
major of the year to stay with his
wife for the birth of their first
child, and the alternate ahead of
Daly on the list, Brad Bryant, was
not available.
“I was just happy that I got in,”
Daly said.
About 10 hours later, Daly
stepped onto the first tee of a
7,295-yard course that he had
never seen.
At the time, golf had never
seen anything like Daly.
His swing was so long that the
head of his driver pointed to the
ground. It was so powerful that
he never hit more than a 7-iron
into the par 4s when he seized
control of the PGAChampion-
ship in the second round. By
Sunday, he was slapping hands
and pumping fists on his way to a
stunning win that made Daly an
instant star, a Bunyanesque figure
who promised to deliver all sorts
of excitement for years to come.
And he did, in ways not many
could have imagined.
He won only six more times
worldwide, but one of those was
a British Open at St. Andrews.
He went through three more
divorces. He was suspended at
least twice by the PGATour. He
sought alcohol treatment twice,
and named one of his three chil-
dren after one rehab center he
visited in Arizona. His son was
born five days before his fourth
wife and her parents were named
in a federal indictment on drug
and illegal gambling charges.
But he’s still going.
Daly still entertains. Fans
forgive him, and they love him.
Daly returns to the PGACham-
pionship this year, 20 years after
the week that changed his life.
‘Just kill it, John’
Price had heard about the
big-hitting rookie fromfriends in
South Africa, where Daly had
won a couple of tournaments the
year before while trying to get to
the PGATour.
“Alot of guys were telling me,
‘You’ve got to see John.’ So we
played a practice round at the
Byron Nelson,” Price said. “I had
never seen anyone with a straight
left armget the club that far
around. And there was this
‘WHOOSH’ when he hit the ball,
like a windmill. It was amazing.
He had a lot of game.”
Price never would have
thought they would be connected
in history. His wife was expecting
the weekend before the PGA
Championship, but there were no
indications she was ready to give
birth. Knowing that Daly’s al-
ternate number was getting
close, Price told himit wouldn’t
be a bad idea to get to Crooked
Stick. And he had some advice if
Daly were to get into the tourna-
ment.
“I said, ‘Just make sure you
take Squeak. He’s up there, he’s
seen the course, he’ll do you a
great job.’ I wasn’t wrong,” Price
said.
Price was referring to his cad-
die, Jeff “Squeaky” Medlin, who
took only a fewholes of the first
round to figure out what Daly
was all about —and what to say
to him.
“He knewI was an aggressive
player,” Daly said. “I think it was
on about the third hole. He said,
‘Just kill it, John.’ And we stuck
with that the rest of the week.”
The up and down begins
It wasn’t long before Daly
made headlines for other reasons.
Four months later, he broke his
putter in the second round of the
Johnnie Walker World Champion-
ship in Jamaica and was dis-
qualified for signing for an in-
correct score after his 87. He
didn’t even sign his card in Aus-
tralia after an 81in the second
round. He was accused of trash-
ing a hotel roomduring a drunk-
en rage in South Africa.
It’s a long list. When his dis-
ciplinary file was made public last
year as part of court records in a
lawsuit, there were no big sur-
prises.
There was another side to Daly
that was overlooked through all
his escapades. He donated
$30,000 to set up a trust fund for
the two young daughters of a
man killed by lightning at
Crooked Stick during the PGA
Championship. Both went on to
graduate college. If someone was
in need and Daly could help, he
did so without asking questions.
With his newfound fame, old
friends showed up with their
hands out, and Daly didn’t turn
themaway.
It was an up-and-down.
What was expected of Daly
after he won that PGACham-
pionship at Crooked Stick?
His rawtalent alone —ex-
treme power, a remarkably soft
touch with the short game —
would suggest more than five
PGATour wins.
“He should have won more,”
Ogilvy said. “He needed a great
first wife, don’t you think? One of
those wives who would pull his
head in, let himbe John Daly, but
just without that little bit of ex-
cess.”
Peter Kostis, a swing coach
and CBS Sports analyst who
worked his first PGAChampion-
ship at Crooked Stick, was ex-
pecting the start of something
truly grand when Daly won 20
years ago.
“But I didn’t appreciate the
difficulties he would have with
the social parts of his life, the lack
of social awareness and social
situations that I think really
bothered him,” Kostis said. “And
he fought it.”
Daly’s goal when he finally
reached the PGATour in1991
was simply to keep his card.
When he won the PGACham-
pionship, he had no idea it came
with a 10-year exemption. “If I
had known that, I would have
choked,” he said.
His biggest dreamas a kid was
to win a British Open at St. An-
drews, and that’s why he is satis-
fied with his career.
“I did more than what I
thought I would have,” Daly said.
“I never thought I was a very
consistent golfer. I was aggres-
sive, and that’s howI was taught.
So the good will come with the
bad. But I’ve learned a lot.
“I knowI’ve made people mad,
but I’ve also helped a lot of peo-
ple.”

“I’m resigning all my posi-

alized my three grandchildren
are capable, then I started think-
ing heavily about it.”
They will think about Doc
Mattioli long after he leaves,
knowing NASCAR became pop-
ular in this area largely because
of him.
“He provided us a wonderful
place to race for a long, long
time,” Martin said.
His time as the man who
made Pocono go will end when
the final car in the field crosses
the finish line today.
“Nobody lives forever,” Doc
Mattioli said.
But sometimes, a legend
does.

MOOSIC – For the seventh
time this season and the fourth
time at PNC Field, the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees did
not play due to rain.
Saturday night’s game at PNC
Field was postponed against
Louisville due to torrential
downpours and the teams will
play a doubleheader today be-
ginning at 12:05 p.m.
Today’s games will mark the
sixth twinbill this season for the
Yankees. They still have at least
two more scheduled with one
on Tuesday against Gwinnett to
make up a washed out game in
Gwinnett in April. The other
day that will consist of two
games in one day this season is
Sept. 4 when Buffalo is back in
town.
Getting the start today for the
Yankees will be right-hander
Lance Pendleton and lefty top
pitching prospect Manny Ba-
nuelos. SWB will see a pair of
Bats’ righties is Daryl Thomp-
son and Edinson Volquez.
In the previous five double-
headers this season the Yankees
have swept two of them and
split the other three.
Pendleton, who started the
season in Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre’s bullpen, will be making
his ninth start for the team this
afternoon. Since being plugged
into the rotation on a consistent
basis last month, he’s gone at
least five innings five times and
four out of his last five outings.
His best performance came in a
win at Columbus on July 21
when he lasted six innings only
allowing three hits, two walks
and one run. He hasn’t faced
Louisville this season since he
was in New York during the se-
ries in Kentucky.
Banuelos, the highly-touted
20-year-old, will be making just
his second start for SWB. In his
last start, he took a no-decision
against Lehigh Valley when he
struck out eight in five innings
of the game wonby the Yankees.
When the Yankees played
Louisville earlier this season on
the road they won three out of
four, but they didn’t see Thomp-
sonwhowas inthe Majors at the
time. SWB did see Volquez dur-
ing the series. And although the
righty, whostartedtheseasonin
Cincinnati’s starting rotation,
didn’t earn a decision that was
theonlygameof theprevious se-
ries that the Bats won.
After coming off the all-star
break losing five out of six
games to fall a season-high six
games behind International
League North division leader
Lehigh Valley, the Yankees have
crept back into contention win-
ning 11 out of their 17 games.

1400-AM)
L O O K I N G A H E A D
All but three of the 27 outs re-
cordedby the All-Star left-hander
were made by the infield. Phila-
delphia also backed Hamels with
two double plays in a game that
took 2 hours, 14 minutes.
“Any time you can win a series
it’s big and any time you can win
onthe roadit’s big,” Phillies man-
ager Charlie Manuel said. “We
knowhowgoodtheGiantscanbe
but at thesametimeif weplaythe
way we’re capable of playing and
stay relaxed and focused ... that
works for us.”
The game was far less testy
than Friday night’s 9-2 Phillies
win, which included the ejection
of three players following a
bench-clearing brawl in the sixth
inning.
Matt Cain (9-8) allowed only
three hits over eight innings but
tookthe loss, his secondstraight.
San Francisco has dropped eight
of nine since taking two of three
games from the Phillies at Citi-
zens Bank Park.
Jimmy Rollins doubled high
off the wall in right-center lead-
ing off the game, and after Chase
Utley drew a one-out walk and
Howard struck out, Hunter
Pence hit a bloop single to right
to drive in Rollins.
Utley tried to take third on the
play and appeared to be out fol-
lowing a strong throw by Nate
Schierholtz, but Sandoval bob-
bledtheball, allowingUtleytore-
ach safely. Three pitches later he
scoredona passedball tomake it
2-0.
“We got to him early but after
that hewastough,” saidRyanHo-
ward, whostruckout three times
before singling in the ninth. “He
got into some situations where it
could have gone bad, and Cole
got into some situations where it
couldhavegonebad, but theygot
out of them.”
The Giants are hitless in 17 at-
bats withrunners inscoringposi-
tion in the three games against
the Phillies this weekend. Over
its last16games, SanFranciscois
batting.157(16for102) withrun-
ners in scoring position.
It got so badthat first baseman
and crowd favorite Aubrey Huff
was booed loudly by the home
crowd after grounding out to Ha-
mels.
“We had more hits than they
did, we just couldn’t get the big
hit,” Giants manager Bruce Bo-
chy said. “You don’t win the
World Series unless you can beat
good pitching. Right now we’re
not doing that.”
Before the game, Bochy said
he expects tohear soonfromMa-
jor League Baseball about penal-
ties for Friday’s bench-clearing
brawl.
San Francisco reliever Ramon
Ramirez and catcher Eli White-
sidewerebothejectedalongwith
Philadelphiacenter fielder Shane
Victorino.
Victorino was booed during
pregameintroductions andevery
at-bat by the sellout crowd at
AT&T Park, but there were no
other lingering effects from the
fight.
Cain nearly matched Hamels,
retiring 20 of the final 22 batters
he faced after giving up both Phi-
ladelphia runs in the first. The
right-hander struckout eight and
walked two.

PITTSFORD, N.Y. —Fast as C.J.
Spiller might be, it turns out there’s
some things the Buffalo Bills run-
ning back learned he can’t outrun.
For starters, there were the pre-
posterously high expectations he
had entering his rookie season last
year. As a first-round pick, Spiller
truly believed he wouldn’t miss a
beat at the NFL level in matching
theprolificproductionheenjoyedat
Clemson.
Man, was he wrong.
“Guys were telling me that once
the season starts everything picks
up,” Spiller recalled with a shake of
theheadandalaughthisweek. “But
you know, as a young guy you kind
of wonder if it’s really true or not.
Well, that’s what kindof happened.”
Spiller learned the hard way how
quickly even a highly touted first-
round pick could go from dynamic
to dud.
“Ha, ha, I thought I was back in
Death Valley again,” he said, refer-
ring to Clemson’s Frank Howard
FieldatMemorial Stadium, afacility
Spiller essentially owned during his
senior season. “But it was a great
learningexperience. I knowwhat to
expect now. I’m definitely excited
about havinganother year togoout
there and showcase.”
Spiller has cometotrainingcamp
determined to put last year behind
him.
Listed at 193 pounds, he’s 3
pounds lighter than a year ago, but
he has noticeably bulked up his up-
per body. Spiller has alsoreassessed
his expectations, appreciating he
needstobemorepatient asarunner
and understanding that a 4-yard
gain is perfectly acceptable at the
NFL level.
“I thinkI wasjust tryingtoforceit
somuch, just tryingtomake the big
play,” he said. “This year, I believe
I’ve become much more mentally
strong. So we’ll see if it pays off.”
Perhaps, a cosmetic change will
help, too after Spiller swapped jer-
sey numbers with cornerback Leo-
dis McKelvin. Going fromNo. 21to
28, Spiller is nowwearing the same
number he’s had since the 10th
grade.
“Last year, being21just felt differ-
ent,” he said. “Now I’m back to my
original number. It may help me
play better. It may not. But I still
have to go out there and get my job
done.”
He’s got plenty of catching up to
do after a dreadful debut. Spiller
managed a combined14 yards from
scrimmageon11touches inhis only
start, the season opener against
Miami. Even after the Bills traded
running back Marshawn Lynch to
Seattle in Week 5, Spiller still had
difficulty getting regular playing
time behind veteran Fred Jackson.

GEORGETOWN, Ky. — The
pass rush is closing in. Andy Dal-
ton has to get rid of the ball.
Though he’s had only a handful of
practices in training camp, the
rookie already knows what to do.
Find No. 18 and fling it his way.
Rookie receiver A.J. Green has
made so many impressive catches
in the first week of the Bengals’
camp that his newquarterback al-
ready expects the sensational.
“He’s making outstanding
catches,” Dalton said. “He’s going
up, he’s making diving catches,
he’s doing it all. It might not al-
ways be in the right spot, but he
can go get it.”
He’s become the buzz of Ben-
gals camp.
“There’s a wow factor to him,”
receivers coachJames Urbansaid.
“I’ve not see a first week like this
(by a rookie).”
It started in the first practice,
when the first-round pick routine-
ly beat defensive backs to get
open. On the second day, he put a
double move onLeonHall —Cin-
cinnati’s top cornerback — and
madehimstumbleinapass-catch-
ing drill.
Later, whenDaltonseverely un-
derthrewa pass, Greencame back
and jumped high above a safety to
pluck the ball away.
His best moment came on Fri-
daynight, whenhecaught upwith
Dalton’s long throw along the left
sideline and made a diving catch
that thrilled the small crowd on
hand for the annual scrimmage.
“We haven’t had many come in
hereastalentedasheis,”Hall said.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a re-
ceiver as he is this early. He’s been
doing great, andI’mreally excited
to see how he does in the presea-
son and then going to Cleveland
for that first game.”
The Bengals deemed Green
worthy of the fourth overall pick.
Draft analysts haddubbedhimthe
most NFL-ready receiver in a
while, a potential Pro Bowl player
for years to come. Cincinnati trad-
ed Chad Ochocinco — the top re-
ceiver in franchise history — to
NewEnglandfor draft picks, mak-
ingGreentheNo.1receiver before
he signed his contract.
“Coming in being a high pick,
some of the vets are like, ‘Hope
youdon’t steal moneylikesomeof
the other guys,’” Green said.
So far, he’s earning the acco-
lades.
“Anytimeyouseehimbreakthe
huddle, you feel like you have a
chance something good’s going to
happen,” offensive coordinator
Jay Gruden said. “Andy’s getting
morecomfortableandthequarter-
backs are getting more comfort-
able with him. And A.J.’s getting
more comfortable with the termi-
nology.
“That’s the biggest thing. Once
he gets the terminologydownand
therouteconcepts down, he’ll bea
force.”
The receiver out of Georgia is
the anti-Ochocinco in many ways.
He doesn’t tweet much, doesn’t
celebrate or try toget attentionon
the field. There’s no self-promo-
tion, which has impressed the vet-
erans as much as the catches.
“I’m not blown away with the
physical abilitybecauseI expected
all that,” quarterback Jordan
Palmer said. “He’s a great guy.
He’s working hard. He’s focused.
When you ask him who he wants
to be, he wants to be (Arizona’s)
Larry Fitzgerald. I askedhimwhy,
andhesaidbecausehedoes all the
little things right.
“His physical tools are through
the roof. It’s the other things that
are going to make himgreat.”
Green’s first year might be his
toughest, not only because so
much is new to him. The core of
Cincinnati’s passing game is
green.
Daltonwas a second-roundpick
who is being prepared to start.
The Bengals worked him into
someno-huddleplaysonSaturday
for the first time. Rookie quarter-
backs tend to go through a lot of
growing pains.
Plus, it won’t take opponents
long to figure out that they’ve got
to take Green away.
The rest of the receiving group
isinexperienced, too. JordanShip-
ley and tight end Jermaine Gresh-
am are starting their second sea-
sons. Jerome Simpson and Andre
Caldwell have been career back-
ups — 16 combined starts be-
tween them.

five seasons in Indianapolis,
then his final seven for St. Louis,
helping the Rams to their only
Super Bowl victory in 1999.
Through tears, Faulk said,
“Boy this is pretty special. ... I am
gladtobe a part of it. This is foot-
ball heaven.
Dent was a dynamic pass rush-
er on one of the NFL’s greatest
defenses, the 1985 NFL cham-
pions. He was the MVP of that
Super Bowl and finished with
137
1
⁄2 career sacks, third all-time
when he left the sport.
He epitomized the Monsters
of the Midway: fast, fierce andin-
timidating.
CANTON, Ohio — That kid
who went to college with two
brown grocery bags filled with
his belongings strutted into the
Pro Football Hall of Fame onSat-
urday night.
Shannon Sharpe joined run-
ning back Marshall Faulk, Chica-
go Bears sackmaster Richard
Dent, WashingtonRedskins line-
backer Chris Hanburger and
NFL Films founder Ed Sabol in
being inducted into the hall.
They were to be followed by the
late Les Richter, and Deion
Sanders.
When Sharpe headed to Sa-
vannah State, all he heard was
how he was destined to fail.
“When people told me I’d nev-
er make it, I listened to the one
person who said I could -- me,”
Sharpe said.
Failure? Sharpe went from a
seventh-round draft pick to the
most prolific tight end of his
time. He won two Super Bowls
with Denver and one with Balti-
more, and at the time of his re-
tirement in 2003, his 815 career
receptions, 10,060 yards and 62
TDs were all NFL records for a
tight end. Three times he went
over 1,000 yards receiving in a
season — almost unheard of for
that position. In a 1993 playoff
game, Sharpe had 13 catches
against Oakland, tying a record.
Sharpe patted his bust on the
head Saturday before saying,
“All these years later, it makes
me proud when people call me a
self-made man.”
In a captivating acceptance
speech, Sharpe passionately
made a pitch to get his brother,
Sterling, who played seven years
with the Packers, considered for
election to the shrine. Sterling,
who introduced his younger
brother for induction, wept as
Shannon praised him.
Faulk was the running back of
running backs for muchof his12-
season career.
As versatile and dangerous a
backfield threat as the NFL has
seen, Faulk was voted the NFL’s
top offensive player in 1999,
2000 and 2001, and was the
NFL’s MVP in 2000. He was the
league’s scoring leader in 2000
and ’01, made seven Pro Bowls,
and was the first player to gain
2,000 yards from scrimmage in
four consecutive years.
The second overall draft pick
in 1994, when Faulk was offen-
sive rookie of the year, he played
“Richard was like a guided
missile,” Joe Gilliam, Dent’s col-
lege coach, said during his intro-
duction.
Sabol made a life out of telling
other people’s stories.
Seated in a wheelchair, the 94-
year-old Sabol said he “dreamt
the impossible dream, and I’m
living it right at this minute.”
“This honor tonight really
goes to NFL Films, I just happen
to be accepting all the acco-
lades,” Sabol added.
Sabol’s son, Steve, who re-
placed him as president of the
company, introduced his father.
Hanburger called his induc-
tion “one of the greatest mo-
ments in my life and I mean that
from my heart. I am just over-
whelmed by this.”
He was the signal-caller for
George Allen’s intricate defenses
in Washington, which included
dozens of formations.
A senior committee nominee,
Hanburger made nine Pro Bowls
in his 14 seasons, although he
never won a championship. The
linebacker’s knack for finding
the ball helped him to 19 inter-
ceptions and three fumble re-
turns for TDs, a league mark
when he retired after the 1978
season.

That was in the late 1970s, and
Connor was editor and publisher
of The Times Leader. He return-
ed to that position in 2006 when
he purchased the newspaper.
“Certainly I will leave out the
name of someone who was there
that night, but I know I was and
sowereSteveAlinikoff, LeeTurn-
er, Dr. Harry Reich and Tim Bau-
man,” said Connor. My contribu-
tion to the idea was to offer The
Times Leader as the underwriter

Connor didn’t hesitate to take
action.
“I wanted our newspaper to be
the sponsor because I believed
we would drawcompetitors from
around the country who would
be impressed with the beauty of
the Back Mountain, where we
had decided to stage the event. I
believed it would provide great
public relations for our areaandit
did.”
A triathlon seemed to be a nat-
ural idea.

said. “Before the night ended we
were all preparing to train, and
challenges and bets were made.
Most of us did not even own a
bike, so we bought them.”
Then there was the matter of
organizing a triathlon.
“We guessed at the distances
and the first race was simply too
tough for many of the contes-
tants,” Connor added. “We didn’t
know enough to stagger the
starts on the beach for the swim
and several swimmers never
made it off the beach. They were
run over by faster, more aggres-
sive contestants and ended up
face down in the water. The mile
swimwas muchlonger thanmost
of us realized.”
Even so, most of themcompet-
ed and finished the race.
“We raised money for the
AmericanCancer Society andob-
viouslybuilt for this area anevent
that has stood the test of time,”
Connor said. “Along the way, it
has been volunteers who made it
work and made it last, people
such as Dave and Lisa Daris, who
have worked at each and every
triathlon. There are many oth-
ers.”
The idea of starting a race
wasn’t knew for Bauman, who
founded a 10-mile road race in
1976 known as the Back Moun-
tain Run.
“I developed friendships with
some athletes in California,” said
Bauman, who now lives in Mer-
cer Island, Wash. “I said to Rich
and Rusty, let’s do a triathlon in
Wilkes-Barre. I had the ability to
put it together, but those two
guys made the idea come to life.”
They were able to line up great
sponsors and put together an ex-
cellent course, Bauman added.
“The most unique thing about
the race was the level of volun-
teers we got in the community.
They are the ones who’ve made
the triathlon such a successful
event.”
It started with 56 runners, but
quickly blossomed into a nation-
al event that attracted more than
700 participants, according to
Bauman. “It became a cult event.
Everybody inthe Mid-Atlantic ar-
ea loved coming here.”
When the triathlon was open
to professionals, it attracted sev-
eral big names, including Lance
Armstrong in 1988. Other nota-
bles include Paula Newby-Fraser,
Greg Welch, and Scott Molina.
“Rich and Rusty really got be-
hind it in a big way and The
Times Leader was the original
sponsor,” Baumansaid. “Richput
a lot of the newspaper’s resources
behind the triathlon, and Rusty
got the community involved.”
The Wilkes-Barre Triathlon
has survivedthetest of time, Bau-
man added. “For one community
to have an event like this for 30
years is an amazing accomplish-
ment.”
Connor agreed.
“What began almost as a lark
and as a barroom conversation
has become a tradition for the
Valley, and along the way has
probably improved the health
and fitness of scores of local resi-
dents.”

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — The
NEPA Miners turned in a solid
defensive performance to pick
up a 19-8 road win over the
Westchester Steelers in a non-
league game on Saturday at
White Plains High School.
The game was a fundraising
event with proceeds benefiting
the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society of Westchester.
The defense broke a scoreless
tie in the second quarter when
Nick Scarmuzza recovered a
fumble for a touchdown with
the Steelers backed up deep in
their own territory.
Dodson Waterton broke off a
64-yard touchdown to increase
the Miners’ lead to 12-0.
Westchester answered with a
62-yard pass for a score before
halftime and tacked on a two-
point conversion to pull within
12-8 at the break.
Tyler Serbin put the game
away in the third quarter with a
9-yard rushing touchdown for
the two-score lead.
Waterton led the offense with
110 yards on nine carries. Serbin
added 35 yards on five rushes.
The Miners announced earlier
in the week that former Penn
State tailback Austin Scott has
left the team, signing with his
old squad in Germany.
Quarterback J.P. Antosh fin-
ished with 36 yards passing and
Russell Fredrick had two catch-
es for 27 yards. The defense re-
corded six sacks.
The Miners are scheduled to
return to Major League Football
play when they host the New
Jersey Spartans at 7 p.m. Satur-
day.
S E M I P R O F O O T B A L L
NEPA Miners victorious in exhibition game in New York
The Times Leader staff
my,” said Race Director Joanne
Gensel. “How could we ask lo-
cal businesses to donate money
that was taken elsewhere?”
The event still has one nation-
al sponsor. According to Gen-
sel, Subway will again provide
food for the estimated 400 run-
ners in next Sunday’s race after
they complete the event.
There is one minor change in
the course, which begins at Har-
veys Lake and ends at Penn
State/Wilkes-Barre in Lehman
Township.
“A portion of the course from
Overbrook Road to Huntsville
has been paved,” Gensell said.
It’s expected to make life easier
for the bike riders.
The bicycle course goes
through Noxen, Kunkle, Dallas
and onto Lower Demunds
Road. Then it goes by Hunts-
ville Reservoir and ends at
PSU/Wilkes-Barre.
Dr. David Mariner, of Shaver-
town, has competed in all but
two of the previous Wilkes-
Barre Triathlons.
“The old course turned at Or-
ange and Lake Louise,” Mariner
said. “Both courses were unique
because they showcase the
beauty of Pennsylvania and the
challenge of the hills. The cur-
rent one is not a flat and grind-
it-out course, but it’s fair.”
The course overall is respect-
ed as an Olympic distance event
because of the hills, added Mari-
ner, 56, who finished first in his
age group in last year’s triath-
lon. “The hills make it a nice
event. If you’re not prepared for
them, they’ll knock you in the
back of the head.”
Mariner said the Wilkes-
Barre Triathlon is very near to
his heart.
“There’s a great bunch of peo-
ple and some very good athletes
locally. The most fun part of it is
the training. The race itself is ic-
ing on the cake.”
The triathlon really isn’t
about winning or individual
times, Mariner emphasized.
“It’s measured by the courage
to start the race and then to per-
form honestly. That’s where the
satisfaction is. We all want to be
competitive, but really the ad-
miration is for each other be-
cause you’ve done the race.”
Perhaps most of all, the
triathlon is about honesty, he
said.
“The person in last deserves
just as much recognition as the
winner because they’ve finished
the race,” Mariner said.
Monica Obsitos, 24, of Ha-
nover Township, finished 10th
overall in the 2010 Wilkes-Barre
Triathlon. She likes the fact that
the course hasn’t changed since
she first eompeted eight years
ago.
“It’s good that it’s the same,”
said Obsitos. “The bike ride is
the toughest challenge. It’s chal-
lenging, even if you’re accus-
tomed to the course.”
For Obsitos, this year’s race is
a tuneup for the Ironman
Triathlon in October in Ha-
waii—the sport’s most presti-
gious event. She qualified in a
race in Florida last November.
“That was an amazing accom-
plishment,” she said. “I’m a dis-
tance runner…I can’t wait to get
to Hawaii.”
Kelly Ciravolo, 32, of Shaver-
town, also is a strong proponent
of the triathlon course.
“The bike course has im-
proved over the years because
the roads are paved,” said Cira-
volo, the first-place female fin-
isher in last year’s race. “The to-
pography is tough because
there are some good hills.
There’s a stretch that is pretty
much a three-mile climb be-
cause it’s a rural road not well
traveled.”
The run is Ciravolo’s stron-
gest asset.
“The run course is very
tough,” she said. “It has some
good hills. I dread it because I
see it coming. My parents live
on the road and I’ve run on it for
years.”
Ciravolo is an attorney and
has a 2-year-old daughter. De-
spite her busy schedule, she
maintains a rigid training
schedule year round.
“I’m very dedicated,” she
said. “That’s especially true
during the winter. It’s dark
when you get up and go for an
hour swim at 6 a.m., and then
when you leave the CYC it’s still
dark.”

DALLAS – Heavy rain and
flooding throughout the course
washed away any hope of com-
pleting Saturday’s action at the
Potentate Tournament at Irem
Temple Country Club.
The match play champion-
ship flight and remaining
flights were scheduled to start
early in the morning, but not all
of the teams were able to com-
plete their rounds before play
was suspended at approximate-
ly 12:30 p.m.
About one-third of the field
was able to finish before the
alarms were sounded to sus-
pend play.
With an entire day of play
lost, today’s round will switch
to a stroke play format for all
flights.
The 16 teams in the cham-
pionship flight will play 27
holes. The team with the low-
est score based on Sunday’s
scores alone will be crowned
tournament champions.
The remaining 18 flights will
feature only 18 holes.
All tee times times will re-
main the same since positions
were handed out based on
Friday’s qualifying scores.
Should play be cancelled or
suspended today, standings
would revert back to Friday’s
scores.
The team of Jim Breck and
John Mulhern sit atop the lead-
erboard with a 4-under par 68.
Behind the leaders are the
teams of Jim Blinn-Brian Cor-
bett and Roy Smith-Mike Laze-
vinick (-3) while the tandems of
Chuck Brand-Joe Weiscarger
and Earl Thompson-Gary Sagan
Jr. shot 2-under par.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. —
Hambletonian Day belonged to
driver George Brennan and a cou-
ple of trotters who provided a few
surprises on the biggest day in
harness racing.
Brennan guided Broad Bahn to
a pace-setting3
1
⁄4-lengthvictory in
the $1.5 million Hambletonian for
colts and geldings. His trip to the
winner’s circle Saturday came a
little more than a half hour after
the driver piloted long-shot Bold
and Fresh to an upset in the
$750,000 Hambletonian Oaks for
fillies.
Brennan is the second driver to
win the Oaks and Hambletonian
onthesameday. BrianSears didit
two years ago with Broadway
Schooner in the Oaks and Muscle
Hill in the Hambletonian.
“This is a monumental day for
me,” Brennan said. “I just remem-
ber when Sears did it a few years
ago and remember what a day it
was for him.”
Broad Bahn trotted the mile in
1:53, with Brennan helping the
colt get the early lead. The open-
ing half mile was done in an easy
56 seconds on a day when speed
was not holding up at the Mead-
owlands Racetrack.
Favored Manofmanymissions
and driver Andy Miller chal-
lenged Broad Bahn and Brennan
in the stretch, but the race result
was all but decided when Mano-
fmanymissions went off stride
andfinishedeighthinthe10-horse
field.
“It was a dream come true, ev-
erythingworkedout for us, trainer
Noel Daley said.
Longshot Whiskey Tax, who
was close to the lead in the early
going, finished second. Opening
Night, who was looking to give
driver John Campbell a seventh
Hambletonian win, was another
two lengths back in third.
Chapter Seven, trained by can-
cer survivor Linda Toscano, was
fourth. Toscano was trying to be-
come the first female trainer to
win trotting’s most prestigious
race.
Board Bahn, who won one of
the two eliminations for this race
last weekend, paid $14.60, $7 and
$5.60 in winning for the fourth
timeineight startsthisyear. Whis-
keyTaxpaid$26and$11.60, while
Opening Night showed at $6.40.
The victory in the Hambleto-
nian capped a remarkable come-
back for Broad Bahn, who was
looking like the
favorite for the
Breeders
Crown last year
when he broke
his leg.
The injury al-
lowed Mano-
fmanymissions
to get into the
Breeders Crownandthat colt won
the race and ignited his career.
Broad Bahn didn’t get back to rac-
ing until late May and the son of
Broadway Hall put an exclama-
tion point on his return on Satur-
day.
The race went just as Brennan
and Daley hoped after they select-
ed the No. 1 post position in the
drawon Tuesday.
Thehorsescametothegateand
Brennan, who is nicknamed the
‘Minister of Speed,’ gunnedBroad
Bahn to the lead, taking the field
through the opening quarter in
27.1 seconds. The second quarter
was trotted in a more leisurely 28
4-5 and that was the difference.
The only threat came from Ma-
nofmanymissions and it failed.
In the $750,000 Hambletonian
Oaks for 3-year-old trotting fillies,
BrennanmovedBoldandFreshto
the lead in the stretch past the
highly regarded Crys Dream and
Jezzy and scored a half-length vic-
tory over fellow longshot Lady
Rainbow. Crys Dream finished
third.
Brennan kept the Doug Miller-
trained filly going to the wire
whenit seemedasif shewantedto
break stride. The pair covered the
mile in 1:53 1-5. The daughter of
SJ’s Cavier returned $51.40,
$21.80 and $6.60 in winning for
the fifth time in nine starts this
year.

LEXINGTON, Ohio — This
hasn’t been a vintage year for
Scott Dixon. But that could
change at a place he’s hadsuccess
before.
Dixon, who has won the Indy-
Car race at Mid-Ohio each odd
calendar year it has been held,
had the fastest qualifying time
Saturday to take the pole for to-
day’s event on the road course.
“I thought we were going to
have a good battle for the pole,”
No. 2 qualifier Ryan Briscoe said.
“But, man, Dixon just blew us
away there at the end. He certain-
ly laid one down.”
The winner at Mid-Ohio in
2007 and 2009, Dixon posted a
1:08.0776 lap time to easily out-
class thefieldof 27cars. It figured
that he’d be at his best at one of
his favorite layouts.
Even though he’s a solid third
in the drivers’ standings behind
leader Dario Franchitti and sec-
ond-placed Will Power, in many
ways this has been a luckless sea-
sonfor the 31-year-oldfromAuck-
land, New Zealand. He’s been a
runner-up four times — and has
finished out of the top10 another
four times because of mishaps on
the track that weren’t his fault.
Askedif this was the start of his
late-season charge, he laughed
and said, “It would have to be a
hell of a charge. We’re a longways
back.”
It’s been a bittersweet season
for Dixon.
“We’ve done a great job to put
ourselves in the right positions,

he continued. “We’ve improved
our qualifying a lot fromlast year.
So, you know, it’s been good in
many ways. But, obviously, the
races and the points just really
haven’t been there for us.”

LINCOLN, Neb. —With mil-
lions of dollars potentially at
stake, Bubba Starling is putting
football at Nebraska on hold
until he decides whether to
sign with the Kansas City Roy-
als.
Starling was a no-show for
the Cornhuskers’ first practice
Saturday, and
coach Bo Peli-
ni said after-
ward that the
6-foot-5, 200-
pound fresh-
man quarter-
back won’t
participate in
team activ-
ities until at
least Aug. 15,
if ever.
That’s the
baseball sign-
ing deadline
for Starling, a
power-hitting outfielder who
was drafted No. 5 overall in
June.
“Obviously, he has got a lot at
risk,” Pelini said. “We commu-
nicated with the family about
the best way to go about it.
We’re all on the same page.”
Starling’s father, Jimbo Star-
ling, confirmed that Bubba was
still a member of the Nebraska
football program. He declined
to comment further.
Pelini said he is leaving open
a spot for Starling on the 105-
man preseason roster. He said
it wouldnot makesensefor him
to practice as long as there is
uncertainty about his future.
Starling is taking summer
school and working out on his
own, “just like anyone else
who’s not on the 105.”
Starling was a multisport
star for Gardner-Edgerton
High School just southwest of
Kansas City, Mo. According to
his growing legend, he hits 500-
foot home runs, throws a foot-
ball 55yards fromhis knees and
dunks over basketball players
who stand half a foot taller.
His father has said football is
Bubba’s first love. He rushed
for 2,471 yards and 31 touch-
downs his senior season and
was listedamong The Associat-
ed Press Top 100 Recruits.
The absence of Starling leav-
es Nebraska with three full-
time quarterbacks —returning
starter Taylor Martinez, red-
shirt freshman Brion Carnes
and sophomore Ron Kellogg
III. Freshman Jamal Turner is
splitting time between receiver
and quarterback.
Pelini also is awaiting word
on the status of incoming fresh-
man Charles Jackson, one of
the nation’s topcornerbackpro-
spects. Jacksonstill hasn’t been
cleared academically. He’s seen
as a key additionto a secondary
that lost New York Giants first-
round pick Prince Amukamara.
“We’re at the whim of when
they gave us a ruling on that,”
Pelini said.
The Huskers also are waiting
to hear from the NCAA on the
eligibility of fullback Mike Mar-
row, whotransferredfromEast-
ern Michigan.
“I don’t want to comment un-
til we get a ruling, but he was
out there at practice, so we feel
good about it,” Pelini said.
In other personnel develop-
ments, freshman Max Pirman,
who signed as a tight end, lined
up at linebacker, Brent Qvale
moved from guard to offensive
tackle and freshman Daniel Da-
vie moved fromreceiver to cor-
nerback.

Nebraska quarterback Brion Carnes, a redshirt freshman,
pitches the ball on the first day of fall NCAA college football
camp, in Lincoln, Neb., Saturday.

WASHINGTON — Donald
Young clearly knew he fell short.
After a wonderful week in which
he reached his first ATP semifi-
nal, Young had little chance
against Radek Stepanek of the
Czech Republic.
The 32-year-old Stepanek con-
vincingly beat the 22-year-old
American — 6-3, 6-3 — to reach
the finals at the Legg Mason Ten-
nis Classic on Saturday.
Stepanek will face the winner
of Saturday’s evening semifinal
between top-seeded Gael Mon-
fils and No. 11 John Isner today.
In the seven years he’s been a
professional, Young has been
known as a promising player on
the tour —and this week he won
four straight matches for the first
timeinhis career. Stepanekmade
sure there wasn’t a fifth.
“He’s a veteran —10 years my
senior,” Young said.
Their post-match demeanors
couldn’t have been more dissimi-
lar. Stepanek walked into — and
out of —the interviewroomwith
a bored air —checking his phone
for messages.
Young sat with the body lan-
guage of a teenager — baseball
cap backward — one sneaker
restinguponeachother —not re-
ally making eye contact with his
questioners.
“He had me quite flustered,”
Young admitted.
“I couldn’t get set intothewayI
wanted to play. It wasn’t that I
was nervous, but more so he took
me out of my game,” Young said.
The 32-year-old Stepanek
broke Younginthe fifthandninth
games of thefirst set —andinthe
second game of the second set.
Stepanek won the second set’s
first nine points and held service
in the third game when he staved
off Young’s only two break points
of the match.
The left-hander, who was born
in Chicago and now is based in
Atlanta, entered this hard-court
tuneup for the U.S. Open ranked
128th and with a 19-53 career re-
cord as a professional.
His run this week assures
Young of returning to the top100
in Monday’s ATP rankings. He
still must qualify for the U.S.
Open’s main draw.
“I won four matches. I beat
good players consistently for a
week,” Young said.
After Stepanek won, he
showed some emotion —punch-
ing the air —and hitting a tennis
ball intotheupper deckof thesta-
dium.
The oldest player ranked in the
top 100, Stepanek is seeking his
fifth title — his first since win-
ning two in 2009.
On Friday, the former top-10
player beat Fernando Verdasco of
Spain and on Saturday, came
close to losing his serve just once
— in the 14-point third game —
which went to deuce four times.
“I had control of the match in
my hands,” Stepanek said.
If he wins today’s final, he
could near the top 30.
“I’mgetting my ranking higher
— getting closer to getting seed-
ed at the U.S. Open,” Stepanek
said.
Despite the crowd rooting for
the unheralded American, Stepa-
nek, who trains in Florida, wasn’t
nervous, he claimed.
“I felt prepared because I al-
ready playedthree lefties ina row
here. I was not needing any spe-
cial preparation,” Stepanek said.
The best week of his career
over, Young was already looking
toward the future.
“It’s definitely a positive be-
cause I’ve never done it before,”
Young said. “I hope it’s the first of
many.”

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre
Dame coach Brian Kelly was
pleased with what he saw from
quarterback Dayne Crist as the
Irish worked their way through a
rainy and humid first practice
Saturday.
Coming off two knee surgeries
in as many seasons, Crist was
sharp and much improved from
spring football in March and
April. Nowthe question: Can the
senior win his job back and lead
the Irish to a BCS bowl —Kelly’s
stated goal in his second season?
Crist is competing with Tom-
my Rees, the starter and winner
in Notre Dame’s final four games
last year. He got the job after
Crist’s seasonwas endedbyarup-
tured patella tendon in his left
knee onOct. 30. AndrewHendrix
and freshman Everett Golson are
also in the quarterback derby.
“After having two knee surger-
ies sometimes you get a little pro-
tective of your lower body and
you slow down your footwork. ...
feeling your way through it. I
didn’t sense that at all,” Kelly
said, describing Crist’s first day.
Rather Crist was very aggres-
sive with the way he moved and
threw tight spirals. “It wasn’t
what I saw in the spring. I
thought he was tentative at times
inthespring,” Kellyadded. “I was
very happy.”
Crist can take off from the
pocket if needed, but he’s not the
mobile runner some spread of-
fenses can be built around. And
Kelly said earlier that’s OK. He
just needs to be able to get away
from defenses and keep the play
going.
Crist, at 6-foot-4, 235 pounds,
completed 59 percent of his pas-
ses last season with 15 TDs and
seven interceptions. Rees com-
pleted 61 percent in 130 fewer at-
tempts andthrewfor12TDs with
eight interceptions. He took over
when Crist was injured against
Tulsa and then started the next
four games which saw the Irish
beat Utah, Army, Southern Cali-
fornia and then Miami in the Sun
Bowl to wrap up an 8-5 season.

Today will be the
most humid of
all the days this
week with an
amount of water
vapor in the air
comparable to
what is found in
the tropics.
Indeed, in the
wake of
Saturday's soak-
ing rains the
lower atmos-
phere is nearly
saturated this
morning with
areas of fog.
Later today
heating from a
hazy sun, along
with another
trough moving
in, will prime the
atmosphere for
showers and
thunderstorms
to form. Some
storms will be
capable of
dumping hail,
and a weather
delay is possible
during the race
at Pocono this
afternoon. We
see near normal
temperatures
ahead this week,
and we will be
getting more
showers.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and thunderstorms may produce heavy rain as a storm system trav-
erses the Northeast today. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms across the Ohio Valley and
Southeast, as well. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible over the Intermountain West and
Central Plains, but the remainder of the West will enjoy tranquil conditions.

There is no good time to get a
wart. But this week is probably as
close to a good time as it comes.
Rite Aid has Compound W wart
removal or freeze off kits on sale for
$10.99 and when you use your Well-
ness + Card and enter your receipt
via the Single Check Rebate program
you’ll get $10 refunded by mail.
Price Chopper has those coveted
coupon doublers on the front page of
their insert today. That means you
can double any coupon with a face
value of up to $1. Use them wisely. A
few suggestions:
• Use the $1 off two Eggo products
to get two boxes of frozen Eggo
homestyle waffles for $2. They’re on
sale for $2 a box.
• Perhaps the $1 off of five cans of
Chef Boyardee canned pastas?
They’re on sale for $1 a can and with
the doubler you can get five cans for
$3.
• Or use the $1 off two Mead Five
Star products coupon and get two
portfolios for $1 since they’re on sale
at two for $3.
• The coupon for $1 off a can of
Lysol Nuetra Air will double to $2
and since the product is on sale for
$2.99, you’ll score it for 99 cents.
The possibilities are endless and
there is no wrong way to use the
doublers, just use them.
Here are the rest of the best uses of
coupons found in today’s Times Lead-
er at local retailers:
• There’s a $2 off a Schick Hydro 3
razor or razor refill pack coupon that
could be best used by taking it to
CVS where they’re on sale for $8.49.
Use your CVS Extra Care Card and
you’ll get a $5 coupon printed on
your receipt for a future purchase at
the retailer.
• Walmart is selling new Old El
Paso tortilla stuffers for $2.50.
There’s a $1 off coupon in today’s

I
f the allegations made against Sug-
arloaf native Anthony Klatch II
prove true, his name will be added
to the Wall of Shame headlined by
Bernie Madoff and other financial
scammers. According to a federal in-
dictment brought against Klatch and
Timothy Sullivan, the pair conspired
to attract more than $2.3 million from
investors, one of whom entrusted
them with nearly $1.5 million.
The indictment states they created a
hedge fund, lied about its history and
invested only 60 percent of their cli-
ents’ money, taking the rest for person-
al use, including in Klatch’s case, the
purchase of five luxury vehicles worth
$521,480.
Closer to home, former investment
advisor Jamie P. Lake is cooling his
heels in prison after confessing to a
scheme that fleeced 33 people out of
more than $600,000.
Madoff, of course, operated on a
much grander scale, and managed to
sustain his fraud for decades, until the
financial crash made it impossible for
him to pay clients asking for their
money back. Klatch and Sullivan, ac-
cording to the indictment, managed to
lose all of the invested funds in a mere
eight months. Lake’s scam was much
simpler; he created fake annuity con-
tracts and sold them to clients.
It’s obvious that swindlers range
from the ultra-sophisticated to the
simple. But why is it they are able to
find willing victims?
In his 2009 book, “Annals of Gullibil-
ity,” psychologist Stephen Greenspan,
himself a Madoff victim, lists four
factors that contribute to vulnerability
– situation, cognition, personality and
emotion. In Greenspan’s situation, he
was influenced by trusted relatives and
friends who had invested with Madoff.
And he made his investments through
what seemed a reliable, established
fund company. Thus, following the
admonition to verify an investment’s
legitimacy would not have saved him.
It’s likely that personality and emo-
tion were the more important factors
in the smaller frauds. In an interview
before he was sent to jail, Lake said
clients put too much trust in him. “He
seemed like a pretty sincere fellow,”
one of his victims said.
Greenspan, in an essay written for
The Wall Street Journal, said trust isn’t
the only issue, citing research showing
that not all highly trusting people are
gullible. But some have better instincts
than others for when to say “no.”
Emotion, Greenspan wrote, influen-
ces every gullible act. It can range
from the relatively benign — wanting
to protect your family’s financial secu-
rity — to outright greed.
So, how can you protect yourself
from financial flim-flam men? Some-
times, as in the case of Madoff, it’s not
easy and even sophisticated investors
are fooled. Klatch’s schemes, by con-
trast, appear startlingly simple and
transparent. An online presentation for
one, The Open Fund Limited Part-
nership, says that Klatch “is regis-
tering as an Investment Advisor …”
Charts and data show an average
monthly return of 18.6 percent. It’s
hard to imagine anyone buying into
this.
There are resources to help flush out
scammers and if you have doubts it
makes sense to use them:
Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion: www.sec.gov/investor
Financial Industry Regulatory Au-
thority: www.finra.org/investors
Pennsylvania Attorney General’s
Bureau of Consumer Protection:
www.attorneygeneral.gov
If that seems like too much trouble,
at the very least tell someone you trust
what you’re planning to do with your
money. You’re antennae may be dulled
by the charming scammer, but chances
are your friend will be more fined-
tuned.

NEW YORK — Frustrated employees
are voluntarily quitting their jobs at the
highest level inalmost three years as con-
fidence they will find another stabilizes,
even with unemployment at around 9
percent for more than two years.
Almost 2 million Americans quit their
jobs in May, a 35 percent rise from the
lowest level inJanuary2010, accordingto
the Department of Labor. An increase in
employees switchingjobs is a signal of in-
creased confidence in the labor market
and the overall economy, according to
Scott Brown, chief economist at Ray-
mond James & Associates Inc., a broker-
age firm in St. Petersburg, Fla.
“When the economy is rebounding,
workers are more likely to quit their jobs
to take another,” Brown said, comment-
ing after last week’s report that the U.S.
economy grew less than forecast in the
second quarter.
The 2007-2009 recession and labor
market weakness contributed to rising
worker frustration, according to a survey
conducted by Right Management, the
consulting division of staffing agency
ManpowerGroup. Eighty-four percent of
employees planned to look for a new job
in2011, upfrom60percent the prior year.
Only 5 percent intended to remain in
their current position, accordingtoRight
Management’s December survey.
Coming out of a recession, workers’
pent-upfrustrationabout their jobs tends
to grow, Brown said. As employees’ per-
ceptions of the labor market recovers,
voluntarydepartures arelikelytorisefur-
ther, assuming the economy continues
its modest expansion.
A further increase in employees who
leave, as well as consumers’ confidencein
the labor market “still have a long way to
go to reach pre-recession levels,” Brown
said. “This is a very gradual recovery.”
Gross domestic product climbed at a
1.3 percent annual rate in the second
quarter, after almost stalling at the start
of the year with a 0.4 percent gain in the
prior quarter, according to the most re-
cent data from the Commerce Depart-
ment.
Pent-up demand by job-weary workers
is benefiting Manpower’s permanent
placement business, even as companies
remain “pretty hesitant” about new hir-
ing, Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey
Joerres said.
Employee “churn” — or job switching
— is driving some of the permanent
placement volume for staffing agencies
suchas Robert Half International Inc., ac-
cording to Kelly Flynn, a Boston-based
analyst for Credit Suisse Group. Newjob
creation is the other primary source of
revenue growth in permanent placement
for these companies, she said.
“While new hiring is looking pretty
sluggish, these companies seem to be
benefiting from more churn in the work-
place,” Flynn said.
The full-time recruitment market re-
mains “very hot,” said Jeff Schwartz, a
principal at Deloitte Consulting in New
York, after last week’s GDP figures.

jobs so readily given the weak labor mar-
ket and the resulting benefit to the per-

ORTY FORT – The behemoth former ware-
house that looms over the North Cross Valley
Expressway sat vacant for years. David Koral
would drive by it and think of ways he could bring life
back to the property. After two years of pondering a
purchase he bought the 130,000-square-foot building
and an adjacent lot in 2004.
He moved in to a fourth floor
loft in 2005 and since then oth-
ers have followed him into the
revitalized building where may-
onnaise, cigars and biscuits had
been manufactured since it
opened around the turn of the
19th century.
The next to move in after Ko-
ral was his clothing business,
UbU. Then a wholesale food
supplier. Followed by a doctor,
lawyer, gym, yoga studio, salon
and restaurant. Others also have
been accepted into the building,
which apparently is not as easy
as agreeing to sign a lease. Next
will be an art studio, which is set
to open this fall. After that?
Well, it comes down to Koral’s
whim. He has two units availa-
ble, totaling about 11,000 square
feet. And he’s had plenty of in-
quiries about the empty spaces
he paid $485,000 for, according
to county property records.
“I’ve had a lot of interest, but
they’re not what I want,” he said,
declining to name the types of
businesses he’s turned away. “If
it don’t feel goodI don’t want it.”
He speaks about making one
of the areas into an art display
through which people could
walk. “Maybe a room full of
white sand that you could walk
barefoot through and relax. …
Maybe a room full of chande-
liers, nothing else.”
While it’s hard to tell if he is or
isn’t kidding, odds are he is dead
serious. To call Koral eccentric
may be softening things. But he
is a man with a plan that has
breathed life into the once for-
lorn structure.
The 900 Rutter complex is
hoppingwithpeople frommorn-
ing to evening. Whether they’re
working out at Leverage Per-
formance Training Studio, eat-
ing lunch at Canteen 900 or hav-
ing their hair styled at Sakari,
there’s no doubt that people are
attracted to the “fun communi-
ty” Koral has created.
“There’s a lot of people com-
ing in, having a good time,” Ko-

NEW YORK -- Railroads gird-
ing for North America’s busiest
shipping seasonare being buoyed
by pricing power that allows
them to raise rates faster than in-
flation even as the economic re-
covery cools.
Carriers such as Union Pacific
and CSX, the biggest publicly
traded U.S. railroads, are moving
more cargo usually hauled by
trucks, bluntingtheeffect of slow-
ing growth in gross domestic
product, said Paul Broussard,
president of freight-services pro-
vider Broussard Logistics in
Houston.
Union Pacific said so-called
core pricing, which excludes the
effect of fuel surcharges, climbed
4.5 percent last quarter and CSX
increased rates 7.2 percent. Con-
sumer prices excluding energy
and food rose 1.6 percent in the
year ended in June. Higher rates
may help railroad profits heading
into the peak shipping season in
2011’s final five months.
“They’re going to be able to
continuetogrowearnings evenin
a flattish GDP environment,” Jon
Langenfeld, a Milwaukee-based
analyst with Robert W. Baird &
Co., saidina telephone interview.
The carriers are “a fairly attrac-
tive story” for investors, he said.
“As far as freight goes, the best
part of the year is yet to come,”
John Mims, a Richmond, Va.-
based analyst with BB&TCapital
Markets, said in an interview.
Union Pacific is “getting pre-
pared for what I think again will
be a stronger second half that’s
out there,” Chief Executive Offi-
cer Jim Young said in an inter-
view. Volumes at Union Pacific
and CSX climbed 3 percent last
quarter, about half the gain in the
previous three months.
Rates will continue to surpass
rail inflation, a gauge of U.S. in-
dustry costs such as wages and
employees’ health care, CSX said
on an earnings conference call in
July. Omaha, Neb.-based Union
Pacific estimated that rail infla-
tion is running at about 3.5 per-
cent andCSXsaidthe figure is 4.6
percent.
Norfolk Southern, which
doesn’t report core pricing, boost-
ed prices about 7.5 percent last
quarter, according to a Bloom-
berg Industries estimate. Rates
rose 4 percent at Canadian Na-
tional Railway Co., the country’s
largest carrier, and about 2 per-
cent to 3 percent at Canadian Pa-
cific Railway Ltd.
Railroads are flexing their pric-
ing muscle after diesel fuel aver-
aged $3.85 a gallon in 2011
through July, 30 percent more
than a year earlier, making truck
shipments more expensive.
Truckers also face the industry’s
worst driver shortage since the
last quarter of 2009, according to
industry forecaster FTR Associ-
ates.
That’s helping rail carriers haul
more intermodal shipping con-
tainers, which can move by sea,
highway andrail, andwhichoften
carry higher-value consumer
goods such as clothing or elec-
tronics.
“Greenhouse gases and needi-
ng cleaner air on one hand, and
the shortage of qualified drivers
on the other hand, is moving
more freight to the railroads and
moving it off the highway,” said
Broussard, the Houston execu-
tive whose company provides
third-party freight and logistics
management. “When you’re mov-
ing something long distances,
railroads have the advantage over
trucking companies.”
Railroads’ traditional period of
shipping gains from August
through most of the fourth quar-
ter may be shortened and intensi-
fied, rather than erased, by con-
cernthat growthis faltering, chief
executive officers said.

BALTIMORE—Most retailers struggled through
the recession. Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc. thrived.
While other men’s clothing chains were shutting
stores andcutting costs inthe face of shrinking prof-
its, the Hampstead, Md.-based retailer was expand-
ing and investing.
Jos. A. Bank opened new
stores — 110 nationwide since
2008, bringing the total to 527
— broadened its product line,
started outlet and tuxedo-rent-
al businesses and announced
plans recently to take its e-com-
merce site international.
Most important, throughout
the downturn the company,
which specializes in career
wear for men, offered promo-
tions and sharp marketing —at
one point even offering to take
back suits from men who had
been laid off.
Now, as the economy sput-
ters backtolife andmany retail-
ers worktorebuild, analysts say
Jos. A. Bank is ahead of the
game.
Sales of men’s apparel in the
United States have been shaky,
falling from $53.2 billion in
2009 to $51.3 billion a year lat-
er, according to the New York-
based market research firm
NPD Group. Sales climbed to
$53.4 billion in April of this
year.
The menswear industry al-
ready was challenged by long-
term trends toward casual of-
fice attire when the economy
fell into recession.
NPDhas foundthat menstop
shopping for themselves when
times are hard.
“They’ll only buy when
they’re forced to replenish,”
said Marshal Cohen, NPD’s
chief retail analyst. “They’ll
wear their boxer shorts until
the elastic wears out and their
socks until there are holes in
them.”
Some of Jos. A. Bank’s rivals
struggledduringthedownturn.
With so few men buying suits,
Men’s Wearhouse pivoted to of-
fering aggressive promotions
— including buy-one-get-one-
free deals —for the first time in
36 years.
Earnings for Men’s Wear-
house, which also owns K&G,
plummeted 50 percent in the
first quarter of 2009. At the
time, analysts said the compa-
ny couldn’t compete with Jos.
A. Bank and its big bargains.
Men’s Wearhouse has since
begun to see a rebound, with
earnings of $67.7 million last
year on sales of $2.1 billion.
Even in the darkest years of
the downturn, Jos. A. Bank
made money, its annual profit
increasing 22 percent to $71.2
million in 2009, according to
regulatory filings. Last year,
profits increased another 21
percent to $85.8 million.
Analysts attribute much of
the company’s success to its
deep discounts. Sales are of-
fered so frequently — often,
several times a week — that
some shoppers joke they’re not
sure when there isn’t some sort
of promotion or sale going on.
“They’re doing better be-
cause they have the most ag-
gressive pricing that I’ve ever
seen,” said George Whalin, a
California-based retail consult-
ant. “Theyhavethesedeals that
run week after week after
week.”
“The sales are kind of ridicu-
lous,” said Kevin Horney, 24, as
he picked up suits fromthe Jos.
A. Bank store in downtown Bal-
timore. “But in a good way.”
Jos. A. Bank CEO R. Neal
Blacksaidbargains weretheon-
ly way to attract cash-strapped
shoppers during the recession.
“We offered pretty compell-
ing values at a time when con-
sumers needed it,” Black said.
“The consumer will let you
knowwhat he is willing to pay.”
Jos. A. Bank’s products fall in-
to a category that Cohen calls
“renaissance brands,” or classic
clothes of good quality. Polo
RalphLauren, Guess andNorth
Face are also in that category,
he said.
“Men during challenging
times don’t necessarily go for
the cheapest product,” Cohen
said. “They are looking for
products that will last a long
time. They want the best qual-
ity for the right price.”
Retailers benefited during
the downturn from a decline in
manufacturing costs. With
business weak, Black said, the
overseas sewing houses were
offering good prices. The cost
of raw materials also declined
during that period, he said.
Landlords with vacancies al-
so meant good leasing deals for
retailers, enabling Jos. A. Bank
to open more stores and enter
the outlet business.
“We were able to lower our
costs and pass that on to the
consumer,” Black said.
Jos. A. Bank also gains froma
lack of competition in its niche.
Men’s Wearhouse is Bank’s
biggest rival, analysts said. De-
partment stores have become
less competitive, and stores
such as Brooks Brothers attract
a higher-end customer.
Jos. A. Bank has also kept up
with changing times, selling
more casual work wear as men
wear fewer suits.
As the economy continues to
improve, Blacksaid, thecompa-
ny will have to watch costs.
Prices of raw materials already
have started to rise and the
company has begun to increase
some prices.
In rough economy, Jos. A. Bank prospers

“Historically, permanent
recruiting has lagged the tempora-

manent placement came snapping
back really quickly,” Flynn said.
“It’s recovered faster than expect-
ed and stayed robust longer than
expected.”
Worker frustration alone may
not account for all of the increase
in permanent staffing revenue,
Flynn said. Some companies may
be upgrading their workforces and
making strategic hires that will
drive revenue, while still eliminat-

As more employees switch jobs,

MILAN — Sergio Mar-
chionne’s corporate jet serves a
sort of mile-high headquarters as
the CEO crisscrosses oceans and
continents to integrate and ex-
pand Fiat and Chrysler.
But the moment is coming,
analysts say, whenthehigh-flying
CEO will have to choose a fixed
center for the global car business
he is building.
The process of choosing a
headquarters for what would be
the world’s seventh largest auto-
maker — based on combined
2010sales of 3.74millionvehicles
— is as politically fraught as any
Olympic city bid.
If Marchionne picks Italy, there
would be howls of protest from
Washington, where U.S. tax-
payers put up $12.5 billion to
keep Chrysler afloat as it headed
into bankruptcy two years ago.
The Obama administration put
Marchionne incharge of the com-
pany, betting on a rescue.
Italian officials and unions,
meanwhile, havebeenfrettingfor
months that Marchionne is slow-
ly transforming Italy’s industrial
showcase into an American com-
pany —which not only would be
a loss of prestige for Italy but
could also move valuable engi-
neering and management jobs
out of the country.
“I think there is tension be-
cause there are good reasons to
locate the headquarters in De-
troit, and there are also good rea-
sons to believe the technical
heart of the company is inTurin,”
said Francesco Zirpoli, an expert
on Fiat’s manufacturing process-
es and a professor at Venice’s Ca’
Foscari University.
Marchionne offered few clues
to his thinking when he an-
nouncedlast monthanew22-per-
son group executive council and
newcorporate structure to accel-
erate integration. He adeptly
sidestepped the issue of a legal
headquarters by announcing that
the car manufacturing business
will be divided into four regional
centers, representing distinct
markets: NorthAmerica, Europe,
Asia and Latin America.
Marchionne, who will remain
the CEO of Fiat, will be chief op-
erational officer for North Amer-
ica, including Chrysler.
That move alone drew cries
from Italy’s FIOM auto union
that the “brains” of the operation
were moving to Detroit.
“If someone still had doubts,
the actual structure demon-
strates where the real manage-
ment center is: It’s not Italy,”
Giorgio Airaudo of the FIOM
metalworkers’ union said. FIOM
has been challenging Fiat for
months on new work rules that
Marchionne insists are necessary
to guarantee production.
Marchionne himself, however,
dodged the question during an
annual conference of industry
leaders in Michigan
“The group executive council
is a traveling band of nomads. It
has to be, so it will spend time in
Auburn Hills as it will spend time
in Turin. It will spend time in
Asia andit will spendtime inBra-
zil,” Marchionne said. “It needs
to be. It’s running a four million
car business. It needs to go visit
and be physically present.”
Many analysts believe Fiat and
Chrysler eventually will merge
fully — something Marchionne
claims is not an urgent priority.
At that point, it is logical that Fiat
will choose a legal headquarters
and list the combined company
there, to avoid leaking value in
two markets.
“If you have one company, let’s
assume Fiat autos and Chrysler
become one company, then if you
have twolistings intwocountries
youhave a mismatchinthe valua-
tion,” said Philippe Houchois,
UBS auto analyst. “Marchionne
has said it himself: It makes no
sense to have one asset and two
listings.”
But thereal heart of thecompa-
ny will not be where it is legally
listed and traded — but where
the mainengineering, designand
purchasing functions sit.
The new Group Executive
Council comprises 13 managers
from Fiat businesses and nine
from Chrysler.
Fiat’s chief technology officer
HaraldWester, headof designLo-
renzo Ramaciotti and chief man-
ufacturing officer Stefan Ketter
will each keep their roles in the
new organization.
The key, however, is not
whether they originally came
from Fiat or Chrysler or even
where they spend most of their
time, but where they eventually
place their support staff, Zirpoli
said.
Despite Fiat’s four-continent
scheme, experts say it is not real-
istic toreplicate, say, engineering
functions in four different loca-
tions, or even two. “This would
not provide the economies of
scale in engineering that you
would need,” Zirpoli said.
Fiat emphasizes its large-scale
operations in Brazil, with 42,000
manual laborers to Italy’s 54,000.
But the management concentra-
tion is far greater in Italy than
Brazil: 1,487 to 191.
Fiat has been based in the
northern Italian city of Turin for
112 years, a postwar magnet for
workers from throughout Italy
and a symbol of the nation’s in-
dustrial miracle of the1970s. The
fate of the nation’s biggest em-
ployer is of great political con-
cern in Rome, even more so as
the country faces austerity mea-
sures to keep the debt crisis from
engulfing the eurozone’s third-
largest economy.
“What is most important to me
is that the brains remain here.
This is the concern of all of the
unions, that the innovation and
research stay here. If it becomes
only an assembly area, then the
worry is that it canbe movedany-
where,” said Italian union leader
Maurizo Peverati of the UIL
union.

ral said. “There’s a lot of people
enjoying themselves here.”
And Koral, who graduated
from Kingston High School and
Southampton College and then
spent a few years teaching in
Los Angeles before movingback
tothe WyomingValley, seems to
knowthemall as he is constant-
ly stopping to talk to guests,
most of whom he knows by
name.
Among themon a recent visit
was AaronBravman, 84, of King-
ston.
“There’s a real spirit here,”
Bravman said while standing in
a doorway to Canteen 900,
which opened in October under
the purview of Abby Billick
Singh, of Dallas. The culinary
school graduate said Koral
askedher toopenadiningestab-
lishment and she obliged. The
decision was a good one, she
added. And the businesses that
share the building support each
other.
“People come here to have a
good time and hang out,” she
said as people sipped coffee, ate
salads from gigantic bowls and
surfed the Internet on their lap-
tops.
She said that having Bob Liz-
za’s art studio join the mix this
fall will only add to the am-
biance and success of Koral’s
creation.
Lizza, whose studio nowis on
Route 29 in Tunkhannock, was
so taken with the Forty Fort
building that he’s not only mov-
ing his business to Forty Fort in
September, but himself, too. He
is staying in a loft on the site.
“Hecameinandgot affected,”
Koral, 52, said.
Koral may be the man in
charge of the operations but the
person even he bows down to in
his kingdom, literally, is his fian-
cé, Toni Crevo. When she inter-
rupts a conversation to ask
about a water meter reading, he
warns his interviewer that “the
queen is coming” and curtseys
when she arrives.
One may wonder what makes
the exuberant Koral tick when
he jokes – sometimes profanely
– with tenants and patrons, or
turns a conversation in direc-
tions that have little or nothing
to do with the topic at hand.
But there’s no question at all
that he’s having fun, especially
as he avoids questions about his
motivation but answers some
that haven’t been asked.
And people seem to eat it up,
almost as much as the tiramisu
cupcakes at Canteen 900.

A MANLIER IPOD CASE
Coach is counting on men to help
drive sales. The high-end clothing and
accessories chain's thinking is that
men are buying more gadgets, so
they’ll need more little leather gadget
cases. Equity Research firm Nomura
thinks catering to men makes sense.
Men might prefer to keep their phones
and music players in Coach's carrying
cases than in a larger satchel, or "man
purse," says Nomura. More than half
of the 40 new stores Coach is opening
in the U.S. will cater to men. More men
buy Coach products in Asia than in the
U.S., so all of the 15 stores Coach is
opening in Japan will be men's stores.
In China, where men provide half of
Coach's business, Coach is opening
30 stores, all dual-gender.
THE SECRET’S OUT
The first of the month hasn’t
been payday for investors late-
ly. Owning an S&P 500 index
fund on each month’s first trad-
ing day used to be a nearly au-
tomatic way to make money.
Between August and February,
the index rose every single time
on that day. The trend stretches
back to at least 2000, S&P
says. The reason could be that
institutional investors put mon-
ey into stocks when the month
opens. But in four of the last six
months, the S&P 500 has
dropped on the first trading day.
Stocks fell on Monday after
manufacturing grew in July at
its slowest pace since 2009.
FEELING FEARFUL
The VIX, a measure of in-
vestor fear, is spiking again.
The VIX rose 27 percent to
32 this week after the Dow
Jones industrial average
plunged 699 points on wor-
ries about the debt crisis in
Greece and a slowdown in
the U.S. economy. The VIX
is still far below its peak of
89 that it reached during the
height of the financial crisis
in 2008. But it’s above its
historical average of about
20. The latest increase sug-
gests that traders are pre-
paring for more big drops in
the stock market in the
weeks ahead.
The first trading day of the month
has been a bad one for the S&P
500 recently.

The residential housing market is
still struggling from a glut of fore-
closures that has hurt home prices.
But Jay Paul Leupp, portfolio
manager of the Grubb & Ellis AGA
Reality Income fund (GBEIX), says
real estate investment trusts look
attractive.
Where are
you finding
opportunities
in REITs?
Apartments
are really kind
of the asset
class du jour
for good rea-
son: very little
new supply, 95
percent to 97
percent occu-
pancies, rent
growth in the 3 percent to 5 per-
cent range (and it’s) probably go-
ing to accelerate a little bit. I think
that’s going to continue to be a
good sector even if we don’t get
much job growth in this recovery
that we’re seeing slow down be-
fore our eyes.
Is that just because many people
aren’t buying homes right now?
They’re not looking to buy. There
actually is some job growth cre-
ation; not a lot, but some. And, by
in large, the households that are
forming around that are moving in-
to apartments or renting homes.
What about the other segments
of commercial real estate?
We’ve seen a strong mall market
for institutional investors ... Actual-
ly, for well-leased, high-quality
malls, there’s pretty much a market
for them in any city in the country if
they have long-term leases, which
most of them do. In (the) industrial
(market), again, high-quality ten-
ants with long-term lease dura-
tions, that’s a pretty strong market.
And then (the) office (market) is a
real dichotomy: because you have
about a half-dozen strong markets
in the country. ... That market is re-
ally slow in the rest of the country.
What are some of your favorite
companies right now?
In the apartments, we like AIMCO
-- AIV is the ticker. It’s a big player
(that) just reported some good,
strong earnings and raised guid-
ance. That’s one we continue to
like. From a valuation standpoint,
it’s hard to find value in the publicly
traded apartment space, so that’s
one of them. ... Associated Estates
(AEC) is another middle-market
operator that we like.
What’s their story?
They’re also in apartments; they’re
based in Cleveland. They are pri-
marily Northeast, Midwest and
Southeast, so about the eastern-half
of the country. It also has been one
of the few value opportunities in
apartments. Then, moving down the
spectrum ... one of the turnaround
plays that we like in the mall space
is Glimcher Realty, ticker symbol
GRT. In that one, we like the com-
mon and preferred (shares).
Should the average investor have
some REITs in their portfolio?
We think it’s appropriate for diver-
sification and also just investment
returns to have a five to 15 percent
allocation.
What mistakes do investors
make when buying REITs?
Don’t buy based on dividend yield
alone. That’s a very, very common
mistake made by your average re-
tail investor.
Why is that a mistake?
(With) a high dividend it can mean
the stock is overlooked and is a
good value. Often times, it’s also a
sign that the dividend may not be
covered by current cash flow and
could be in danger of being cut.
We use dividend yield as one of
our half-dozen or so investment
(screening criteria), but it’s by no
means a driving factor in picking
stocks.
Any other mistakes?
Investors aren’t diversified enough:
they only own one or two REITs.
You really need to diversify by
property type, geography and
management team. And, if you
don’t own a fund, we’d recommend
that the average investor own any-
where from eight to 12 REITs to
get the proper amount of diversifi-
cation and exposure to the differ-
ent asset classes.

opportunity. Brazilian stocks are now among
the cheapest in emerging markets. And econo-
mists expect Brazil’s economy to grow faster
than developed countries. But financial ana-
lysts say it’s not yet time to buy.
They point to one big reason: Inflation. Bra-
zilian consumer prices rose in June at nearly
double the U.S. annual inflation rate of 3.6 per-
cent. Brazil’s inflation rate has risen to 6.7 per-
cent from 4.6 percent a year ago.
The Brazilian central bank has raised its
main interest rate five times in the last six
months to 12.5 percent. The hope is that high-
er borrowing costs will slow inflation, but it will
also hinder economic growth
Brazilian stocks at the end of July traded
at about 9 times
their expected earnings
over the next 12 months.
That’s cheap compared with
Mexico’s price-earnings ratio of
15 times. Credit Suisse analyst
Andrew Campbell says Brazil’s ra-
tio won’t pull closer to Mexico’s until
investors get a better idea of when
Brazil’s inflation rate will hit its peak.
Brazil’s bear market shows the risks of
investing in emerging market stocks. They
can rise and fall much more quickly than
U.S. stocks. The Brazilian market
dropped 38 percent in four weeks during
the financial crisis in 2008. It doubled in
less than 11 months after falling to a
three-year low in November 2008. The
S&P 500 has not yet doubled from its low
point, also reached that month.

The iShares MSCI Brazil Index fund ETF (EWZ) has lost 23.4 percent of its value since Nov. 4. That com-
pares with a 1.7 percent drop for the S&P 500.

Chain reaction
Stock
Screener
Chain stores had a strong July because of back-
to-school shopping, attractive discounts and swel-
tering heat that had shoppers taking refuge in air-
conditioned stores. That's making
some retail stocks look good. But the
stock market is in chaos and con-
cerns about the economy could keep shoppers
away from stores.
Among the retailers that reported better-than-ex-
pected sales in July were discounter Target, depart-
ment store Macy's and high-end chain Saks Fifth
Avenue. Areport from the International Council of
Shopping Centers showed that another measure of
retail strength, sales from stores open for at least a
year, was up 4.6 percent in July.
But many retail stocks can are still relatively
cheap, because chain stores are more vulnerable to
the whims of consumers than companies in some
other industries. That makes them risky during a
slow consumer economy. You can minimize some
of that risk by choosing companies that have some
stability. This screen shows stocks in the Standard &
Poor's retail index that pay a dividend. Adividend is
a sign that a company has free cash to return to in-
vestors. These stocks also have a price-to-earnings
ratio that is lower than that of the S&P 500’s 15, so
they might be considered a discount.

Treasury yields sink
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell this week
to its lowest level since October. Investors poured
money into the relative safety of Treasurys after
stock prices fell on worries about the European debt
crisis and a weakening economy in the U.S. Trea-
sury yields drop when their prices rise. Mortgage
rates also dipped. The average rate on a 15-year
fixed mortgage fell to a record low of 3.54 percent.

be entered into a drawing for a nifty prize!
$100 in net income, that would be $1
EPS (earnings per share), pre-buy-
back. After the buyback, though, the
firm would still have the same earn-
ings, but those earnings would be
spread over just 50 shares — so the
EPS would go up to $2. The price-
to-earnings (P/E) ratio, based partly
on EPS, would fall, and each share
potentially would be worth more.
Stock buybacks can be better
for shareholders than dividends.
Remember that companies pay taxes
on the income they earn. When they
then pay out any dividends to you,
you get taxed. So that income is
taxed twice — hardly very efficient.
By buying back shares, a company
is still rewarding shareholders, but
it’s doing so in a way that does not
trigger taxable events.
Buybacks are wonderful when
a stock is undervalued, because
the company will get more shares
for its money. Plenty of compa-
nies have bought back overvalued
shares, though, destroying value.
Make sure your companies’ earn-
ings aren’t increasing solely because
they’re buying boatloads of shares.
Look for increasing earnings and
revenue, too.

Railroads Come Back
With oil prices so steep, many
investors interested in transporta-
tion are turning from the trucking
industry to railroads, which are
more energy-efficient. Surprisingly,
the biggest factor driving railroad
growth right now is the resurgence
of the auto industry. According to
Progressive Railroading, as of April
30, auto carloads were up 9.6 per-
cent over the same time last year.
Revenue from shipping cars var-
ies, but it usually makes up about 7
percent of the bottom line for major
railroads. CSX, for example, derives
about 8 percent of its annual revenue
from handling automobiles, touching
close to one out of every three autos
produced in the United States.
We’re not just talking about
Detroit’s Big Three, either. Volks-
wagen recently opened a $1 billion
plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., with the
intention of shipping 85 percent of
the automobiles it produces by rail.
CSX and Norfolk Southern are posi-
tioned to benefit from that.
Meanwhile, after Union Pacific
watched its automobile loads shrink
50 percent in 2009, it instituted a
series of changes, including develop-
ing a special adjustable automotive
railcar that can hold various sizes
of vehicles. Auto traffic climbed
37 percent in 2010, and now Union
Pacific is marketing the train car to
other railroad companies.
If cars sell well in the United
States, railroads will reap the ben-
efits. Even relatively small revenue
streams can make a difference.

Not So Clever Urging
On the urgent advice of a very
clever friend, I bought $5,000 of
an obscure British biotech com-
pany at 20 pence per share. The
shares rose to 64 pence, and then
dropped suddenly to 3 pence. It
turned out that my clever friend
had inside information and
knew of a failed clinical
trial at the company, but
couldn’t tell me. Nor did
he dare sell his own shares. The
stock has recovered to 9 pence
per share. I’m holding on, but
the future for the company looks
bleak. — M.B., online
The Fool Responds: Bio-
techs can be tricky, as much of
their value is tied to drugs or
treatments still in development
that might or might not end up
approved and profitable. Your
friend was smart and ethical to
play by the rules and not divulge
or act on inside info, even though
you both lost money.
Since it appears you have more
than $2,000 left, you’d do well
to move that money into a better
investment, one with a non-bleak
future. Park your money in your
best ideas, not so-so ones.
Do you have an embarrassing
lesson learned the hard way?

Very Risky
Q
Is it safe to invest in commod-
ities? — S.G., Worcester, Mass.
A
According to The Wall Street
Journal Interactive Edition’s
Guide to Online Investing, “Invest-
ing in commodities and financial
futures is about as extreme as you
can get on the risk scale.” Global
commodity exchanges facilitate
trading in all kinds of things, such
as interest rates, currencies, metals,
crude oil, gasoline, cotton, lumber,
sugar, coffee, wheat and corn.
Investors are drawn to com-
modities because of the great leverage
available. You can often buy items by
paying only about 10 percent of their
value. In an extreme example, if you
buy $50,000 of pork bellies for $5,000
and they double in value, you’ve made
a lot of money by investing just a lit-
tle. Of course, if they fall in value, you
can lose your entire invested amount
— and then some!
You can lose much more than
you invest with commodities and
futures. Smart people have lost a
lot of money in them, and most
investors should steer clear.

The Basics of Buybacks
According to a Birinyi Associates

U.S. companies are on track to make

year ever, with $273 billion worth

Here’s how they work:
When a company buys back
stock, it typically does so on
the open market — it doesn’t buy
your shares, unless you happen to be
selling them. You keep your shares.
In theory, the more shares a com-
pany buys and retires, the better
off shareholders are. Imagine that
the Whoa Nellie Brake Co. (ticker:
HALTT) has 100 shares outstanding.
If you own 25 of them, you own 25
percent of the company. If the com-
pany buys back 50 of its own shares,
then 50 shares will remain. You’ll still
own your 25 shares, though, so you
nowown 50 percent of the company.
That’s extreme, but it demonstrates
how your portion of a company’s
earnings grows as more shares are
bought back. If Whoa Nellie earned

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 2011

“HE LIVED IT.”
Those are among the
final words appearing
on screen in Walt
Disney’s 2004 smash
hit, “Miracle.”
The stirring film
tells the story of an
inspirational coach and his USA men’s
ice hockey team that won gold at the
Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y.
Together they achieved what Sports
Illustrated named the “Greatest Sport-
ing Moment of the 20th Century.”
It occurred on George Washington’s
birthday in 1980 when Team USA
defeated the Soviet Union 4-3, clearing
the way for America’s gold medal vic-
tory over Finland.
The celebrated coach, to whom the
movie is dedicated, served as a con-
sultant during the picture’s principal
photography in 2003. He would never
see the finished product, released
nationwide in February 2004.
Herb Brooks, born Aug. 5, 1937,
would have been 74 on Friday.
Instead, this Thursday will mark the
eighth anniversary of the tragic auto-
mobile accident north of St. Paul,
Minn., that claimed his life.
Brooks was an uncommon man,
passionate about life, his sport and the
invaluable lessons it would impart to
him and those he taught.
At Johnson High School in 1955,
Brooks led his St. Paul school to the
Minnesota state championship. He
played for the University of Minnesota,
where ice hockey is almost religion.
Eventually he became head coach of
the Golden Gophers, taking them to
three national championships in seven
years prior to his being chosen to mold
America’s team for the 1980 Winter
Games.
Brooks went on to coach several
teams in the National Hockey League,
including a stint as head coach and
director of player development for the
Pittsburgh Penguins. His responsib-
ilities often brought him to the Wacho-
via Arena in Wilkes-Barre Township in
search of new hockey talent. It was
here that I met him.
I didn’t encounter the determined
coach who stands tall among ice hock-
ey royalty, but rather a reserved and
humble gentleman who preferred not
to be recognized.
Jeff Barrett, president and CEO of
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
recalls: “Herb would spend countless
hours at Barnes & Noble in the Arena
Hub Plaza. He would read books and
magazines about everything, not just
sports. Often he would engage in deep
conversations and debate the issues of
the day with customers that had no
idea who he was.”
Brooks also coached the USA men’s
silver medal ice hockey team at the
2002 Winter Olympics. He led the
squad to a 3-2 victory over Russia, also
on Feb. 22, before falling to Canada in
the finals.
Barrett remembers Brooks’ oft-quot-
ed admonition to his players, that to
make it in ice hockey they had to work
harder and skate even faster: “The legs
feed the wolf.”
At dinner one evening Brooks told
me of a letter he received from a naval
officer who was at sea during the “Mir-
acle on Ice” and being shadowed by a
Soviet vessel at the height of the Cold
War. While the two ships “officially”
did not notice each other, it wasn’t
long before they began signaling each
other every time their country scored a
goal.
Herbert Paul Brooks was the last
player cut from the men’s 1960 Olym-
pic ice hockey team. A few weeks later
he watched as his teammates captured
the gold medal in Squaw Valley, Calif.
— without him. Rising from those
ashes might have been his most re-
markable achievement. Perhaps it is
character that feeds the man.
Sandwiched between the 5th and
11th of August, at the height of our
broken government, it is still inspiring
to recall the man who made “Yes” —
always “Yes” — the immediate re-
sponse to the immortal query … “Do
you believe in miracles?”
“Who do you play for?”

THE NEWS from
Washington — bicker-
ing over the debt
ceiling, poor prospec-
ts for the economy —
hasn’t been uplifting
lately. It’s time for
some beach reading.
And I have just the ticket. There’s a
whole crop of potential Republican
presidential candidates who promise to
lead us to a better tomorrow, and most
of them have written books to spell out
their visions, demonstrate intellectual
depth and give their fans something to
spend $29.95 on.
Writing memoirs and manifestoes
has become a rite of passage for politic-
ians, a way to show that they’re up to
the job — so much that just one book
won’t always suffice. Former Massachu-
setts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Alaska
Gov. Sarah Palin and Texas Gov. Rick
Perry have each written two. Former
House Speaker Newt Gingrich wins the
productivity prize, with his name on no
fewer than 23 books, including eight
novels. Even pizza mogul Herman Cain
has promised a book this fall. If they
hope to stand a chance in this field,
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann
and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman
Jr. better get busy.
As a public service, I took a pile of
these literary works on vacation and
dug in. (Now you know one more dif-
ference between Washington policy
wonks and normal Americans.) And
here’s what I found:
In their own telling, all these politic-
ians are fiercely patriotic, devoted to
their families and humble.
And they’re all deeply worried about
the future of the country, especially if
President Obama and the Democrats
stay in power.
“They simply don’t believe in Amer-
ica as it was shaped by the founders,”
warns Romney in his book “No Apol-
ogy,” and he’s among the most moder-
ate of the bunch.
Want something stronger? Try Gin-
grich. In “To Save America,” he says
Obama is running a “secular-socialist
machine (which) represents as great a
threat to America as Nazi Germany or
the Soviet Union once did.”
The Romney we meet in “No Apol-
ogy” is earnest, pedantic and, let’s say
it, dull. He’s given to leaden statements
of the obvious. “It is good for America
to be strong,” he advises. And: “To
strengthen America’s economy, we
must minimize those things that retard
economic growth and promote those
things that accelerate it.”
Gingrich is at the opposite end of the
emotional spectrum, furious and hyper-
bolic. “America is facing an existential
threat,” he warns in “To Save America.”
Obama “has presided over a political
machine that has tried to impose on
this country a radical left-wing agenda
that is alien to American history and
American values.”
In between is former Minnesota Gov.
Tim Pawlenty — no less conservative
but less confrontational, at least back
when he was writing “Courage to
Stand” last year. In politics, he sug-
gests, “You never want to punch when
somebody’s down. You want to win, but
you don’t want to destroy your oppo-
nent.” In this year’s Republican field,
that measure of civility qualifies as
Minnesota nice.
Then there’s Perry, who’s almost as
angry as Gingrich. “We are tired of
being told how much salt to put on our
food, what kind of cars we can drive,
what kind of guns we can own, what
kind of prayers we can say ... (and)
what doctor we can see,” Perry writes
in “Fed Up!”
And, of course, Palin, who manages
to sound both slashing and cheerful at
the same time. “We have allowed the
left, with its unconstrained vision, to
convince us that America’s current
woes were caused by too little govern-
ment involvement,” she writes. “This is
nonsense. We got into this economic
mess because of misplaced government
interference in the first place.”
There’s a long list of issues all these
candidates agree on. “We need to have
a more limited, more accountable gov-
ernment,” Pawlenty writes.

PITTSBURGH— Even if
state lawmakers approve a
tax or fee on gas drillers this
fall, some local leaders
might not take the money.
Communities in the heart
of the Marcellus shale could
turn down such revenues
that come with strings at-
tached. Many want to be
able to set their own rules
for problems such as road
damage, noise, lights and
stormwater runoff, but they
might have to accept state-
prescribed rules for such
problems to collect money
from a drilling impact fee.
“If it’s something that’s go-
ing to hurt the township, I
definitely would vote
against it,” said Andy
Schrader, supervisor in Ce-
cil, home to dozens of ener-
gy companies and some of
the region’s biggest gas drill-
ers.
“Sounds like they want us
to sell our soul to them,”
said George M. Lucchino, a
township supervisor in Rob-
inson in Washington Coun-
ty. “That’s how I personally
take it: We do what they tell
us to do, and then they’ll
give us the money. ... I’mnot
giving up the controls in our
township.”
Municipal governments
can’t ban drilling or set envi-
ronmental regulations for it,
but they can use zoning laws
to force extensive reviews
and to open some parts of
neighborhoods to drilling
while closing others. They
have used such laws to set
limits on lights, noise and
other potential nuisances at
drill sites.
Drillers have pushed for a
uniform, statewide set of oil
and gas zoning laws. The
drillers got support for that
idea this summer from the
governor’s Marcellus Shale

HICAGO — America undoubtedly has a big obesity problem. • With two-
thirds of all U.S. adults now classified as obese or overweight, public health
officials warn that much of the population is at a dangerously high risk of dia-
betes, heart disease and other chronic and costly illnesses. • But who should be
responsible for slimming down the nation? • Several recently released obesity
action plans — including one for Illinois — suggest the government can do it
through a battery of public policy measures ranging from soda taxes, better
school lunches and mandatory school gym to calorie listings on menus, fitness-
friendly infrastructure and restrictions on “junk food” advertising.
Drawing from other public
health successes, they theo-
rize that if taxes and laws can
get Americans to wear safety
belts and stop smoking they
can also persuade us to exer-
cise, eat better and, thus, lose
weight.
But a growing chorus of
critics, including some con-
servative politicians, say the
government has no business
— or hope of succeeding — in
the weight-loss arena.
“It’s the individual’s respon-
sibility,” said Steve Siebold,
author of “Die Fat or Get
Tough.” “For the majority of
us, we need to stop putting
the pizza in our mouth and it’s
not the government that’s go-
ing to get us to do that. It’s
about making a personal deci-
sion to make it happen, not
letting the nanny state take
care of us.”
Last fall, Sarah Palin char-
acterized Michelle Obama’s
“Let’s Move” anti-obesity
campaign as an assault on in-
dividual rights.
“What she is telling us is
that we can’t trust parents to
make decisions for their fam-
ilies in what we should eat,”
Palin told radio host Laura In-
graham. “Instead of a govern-
ment thinking that they need
to take over and make deci-
sions for us according to some
politician or politician’s wife

“I think of her as mom most of
the time. Then I switch ... and try
to see her as the rest of the
world does. It’s almost too big.”
Lucie Arnaz
The daughter of “I Love Lucy” star Lucille Ball commented on the eve
of what would have been the comedian’s 100th birthday Saturday. The
day also marked 60 years since the popular CBS sitcom first aired.
MANY YEARS ago, the
Saturday Evening Post was
one of the best-known maga-
zines in the United States.
But somehow I learned that
the Saturday Evening Post
actually was published on
Wednesday morning. That was a little dis-
concerting at first. But it was one of the most
valuable lessons: Words do not necessarily
reflect reality.
Recent statistics on the average wealth or
net worth of blacks are a painful reminder
that rhetoric favoring blacks does not mean
that politicians using such rhetoric are actual-
ly helping blacks. The media seized upon the
statistics published by the Pew Research
Center to show that whites averaged far
more net worth than blacks, and that this
disparity was now greater than it was in years
past. But what is even more revealing is that
the net worth of blacks in 2009 was less than
half of what it was in 2005.
What happened to cause such a sharp loss
in such a few years? After all, the Republicans
controlled both the Congress and the White
House in 2005, and the Democrats had con-
trol by 2009. There was now a black presi-
dent, with much of the media celebrating the
beginning of a new era in race relations.
What happened was that the political
words had no relationship to the economic
reality. But few people judge any adminis-
tration’s effect on blacks by what actually
happens to blacks under that administration.
A finer breakdown of the data on the net
worth of blacks shows that the most drastic
loss of net worth was in the value of the
homes owned by blacks. This occurred after
years of both Democratic and Republican
administrations pushing policies designed to
enable more blacks to buy homes.
Much of the media rallied behind the idea
that there should be more home ownership
by blacks. Editorials rang out across the land,
denouncing statistical disparities between
rates of home ownership by blacks and
whites as showing racial discrimination in
the private sector that needed to be corrected
by the government.
Even when it was shown that blacks, on
average, did not meet the same financial
standards as whites, both politicians and the
media denounced those standards as too
stringent.
The New York Times reported that “even
within the same income group whites are
nearly twice as likely as blacks to get loans.”
Many in the media treated that as proof
positive that racial discrimination explained
differences in mortgage loan approval rates.
Racial discrimination was where it was at,
as far as liberal politicians and most of the
media were concerned. And the familiar
“solution” was massive government interven-
tion in the market. Government agencies,
from the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development to the Federal Reserve
leaned on lenders to lower lending standards,
and the Department of Justice threatened
prosecutions for discrimination if the racial
makeup of people approved for mortgage
loans did not match their preconceptions.
It worked. In fact, it worked so well that
many blacks got loans that they could not
have gotten otherwise. Now the statistics tell
us, belatedly, that blacks lost out, big time,
from this “favor” done for them by politic-
ians.
The same mindset that led to these disas-
ters is still prevalent in Washington. Indeed,
the very people who spearheaded those polit-
ical crusades – Congressman Barney Frank
and Sen. Christopher Dodd – crafted new
legislation offering the same kind of “solu-
tion” to our current problems, namely more
massive government intervention in the
economy. Words triumphed again.
Cost of political words is a bitter reality for blacks

A finer breakdown of the data on the net
worth of blacks shows that the most
drastic loss of net worth was in the value
of the homes …
WHEN SEEKING to make
sense of what goes on in
Washington, it’s usually
best to consult a convicted
felon. And I don’t know of
anybody who offered keen-
er insight into last week-
end’s debt-ceiling deal between President
Obama and congressional leaders than
Richard Nixon’s felonious attorney general
John N. Mitchell, notwithstanding the fact
that he’s been dead 22 years.
“Watch what we do, not what we say,”
Mitchell told reporters as he took office. It
was good advice then, and it’s good advice
now.
For all the blather surrounding the deal –
“a nearly complete capitulation to the hos-
tage-taking demands of Republican extre-
mists,” wept the New York Times; “a victo-
ry for the cause of smaller government,”
exulted The Wall Street Journal – it’s really
nothing more than Washington business as
usual. If the agreement proves anything, it’s
that our politicians are more profoundly
addicted to their flimflam numbers and
balderdash rhetoric than even the most
cynical of us could have imagined.
Spending keeps going up. Debt keeps
going up. Taxes almost certainly keep going
up. And we get to replay the whole phony
melodrama again next fall when one of
Washington’s beloved bipartisan commis-
sions reports back that, shockingly, the
government is still going broke.
Emblematic of the phoniness of this deal
is its centerpiece, the putative $900-plus
billion “budget cut.” Appropriately, it seems
to have taken its inspiration from a cartoon
character – Popeye’s buddy Wimpy, the one
who was always saying, “I’ll gladly pay you
Friday for a hamburger today.”
Most of the cutting is supposed to be
done from budgets over the next 10 years,
an empty promise that neither President
Obama nor most members of Congress are
likely even to be around to break. Details of
any actual cuts in the 2012 budget, the only
one over which these guys have any author-
ity, were slow to emerge Monday. (As usual,
Washington is quick with “frameworks,”
slow on specifics.)
But it’s worth remembering that the Re-
publican plan put forth by House Speaker
John Boehner, which congressional Demo-
crats unanimously rejected as apocalyptic,
cut just $22 billion from the next budget.
That’s out of a budget of $3.8 trillion. “This
is pretty much akin to having a $50,000
credit card bill and celebrating because your
telephone bill is going down from $40 a
month to $30 a month,” as a blogger at
MillenialStar.org noted.
The rest of the deal is more of the same.
Another $1.5 trillion in cuts is supposed to
be delivered next November by that biparti-
san congressional commission. If the poli-
ticians can’t stomach real cutting now, with
the 2012 election still 16 months off, do you
think they’ll do it on the eve of the vote?
Instead, we’ll get a batch of bookkeeping
trickery like “savings by cutting waste and
fraud” (as if those are budget line items that
can be abolished by decree) and fond hopes
(the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and Libya
and Yemen will, maybe, someday, end).
Meanwhile, the Bush tax cuts of 2001 will
expire – Obama has sworn many times he
will not extend them again – and the upper
middle class will suddenly find itself consid-
ered among “the rich” by the IRS.
Of course, I could be wrong. A flock of
political fairies could sprinkle pixie dust
over Washington, causing pigs to fly and
congressmen to make hard economic choic-
es. Hooray! We get the full $1.5 trillion in
cuts. Even under the most optimistic bud-
geting scenarios, that still leaves us close to
$25 trillion in debt.
A phony budget deal only John Mitchell could love

for those dastardly deeds, but
the United States can’t

are worried about …
something, the next

When will it hap-

Nervously, we
watched last week as
Wall Street’s skittish
traders sent the na-
tion’s jittery markets
tumbling; on Thurs-
day the Dow Jones industrial
average free-falled for 512
points, erasing all its gains for
theyear. Never mindthat retail-
ers such as Target and Macy’s
had reported better-than-ex-
pected July revenues. Or that
many U.S. companies are sit-
ting on enormous cash re-
serves. Or that, as was revealed
Friday, the nation’s unemploy-
ment picture continues to ever-
so-gradually improve.
No, we can’t focus on the
glass half full. Instead, wefixate
on what lies just beyond,
watchful of … something. The
double dip? Italy’s certainruin?
Or maybe Spain’s?
The real danger to the Unit-
ed States, of course, is that fear
becomes the chief factor in our
daily decisions and in our dem-
ocratic ones. Fear when fanned
is a mass manipulator. “Death
panels.” Debt ceilings. Rapture
deadlines.
Real threats begin to blend
with color-coded contrivances,
delaying a broad economic re-
covery, wasting re-
sources, dashing
dreams andwreak-
ingmoresuffering.
Paralysis trumps
gumption. The
bold, defining lan-
guage of the USA–
explore, invent,
conquer, dream –
succumbs to other
terms: “won’t,”
“can’t,” “stay.”
Dare we buy a
house? Switch ca-
reers? Start college? Marry? Di-
vorce? Have kids? Go shop-
ping? Retire?
Dare we relax?
Each day that trepidation de-
fines the national mood is a de-
feat, with potentials unfulfilled
and opportunities lost. The so-
lution, as hinted at by today’s
gritty Chrysler car commer-
cials and as demonstrated by
the Greatest Generation’s ac-
tions, is to get on with it. Lean
into the headwinds and take
one step, followed by another.
Just keep moving ahead.
And go forward with confi-
dence.

ACKINJUNE, while
launching the Cam-

Vice President Bi-
den said, “The president and
I are committed to changing
the way government works,
and we are stepping up the
hunt for misspent dollars.”
Well, even Elmer Fudd
couldmake short workof this
hunt – and he can start in Bi-
den’s backyard.
As it turns out, one of those
changes in how government
works is that the Secret Ser-
vice is being charged rent by
an officeholder it’s protect-
ing. And guess who that land-
lord is?
Yep, Joe Biden.
For $2,200 a month, the
agency rents a cottage adja-
cent to the vice president’s
four-acre, $3 million water-
front estate in a Wilmington
suburb. The Washington
Times reports that Biden has
collected $13,000 since
April, and could receive up to
$66,000 by the time the no-
bid government contract ex-
pires in 2013.
The cottage had been used
by Biden’s mother until she
died in Ja-
nuary 2010.
The Secret
Service
turned
down Bi-
den’s initial
offer to rent
the home,
andanother tenant movedin.
When that arrangement end-
ed, the deal with the agency
was made.
Let there be no doubt on
one point: The vice president
and his family deserve every
possible protection this na-
tion can provide.
But the Secret Service has
done an outstanding job pro-
tecting sitting presidents
and vice presidents for dec-
ades without ever being
charged rent by those in its
care.
The federal government is
in dire financial straits. Mil-
lions of Americans are unem-
ployed. A vice president who
reported $379,178 in income
last year should be ashamed
that he appears to be exploit-
ing his position for financial
gain.

CONVEN-

wisdom holds
that the con-
gressional
super-commit-
tee establish-
ed by the
debt-ceiling deal to propose
further deficit reduction will go
nowhere. I’m not so sure. There
is a grand compromise to be
had. To succeed it must pro-
ceed in three stages:
(1) Tax Reform.
True tax reform that removes
loopholes while lowering tax
rates is the Holy Grail of social
policy. It appeals equally to left
and right because, almost
uniquely, it promotes both
economic efficiency and fair-
ness. Economic efficiency –
because it removes tax dodges
that distort capital flows while
cutting marginal tax rates.
Fairness – because a corrupted
tax code with myriad breaks
grants deeply unfair advantage
to the rich who buy the lobby-
ists who create the loopholes
and buy the lawyers who ex-
ploit them.
Which is why the 1986 Re-
agan-Bradley tax reform was
such a historic success.
But didn’t that agreement
take years to hammer out? Yes.
Today, however, the elements
are already laid out by the
Simpson-Bowles commission.
The super-committee doesn’t
have to reinvent the wheel. It
simply has to make choices.
(2) Revenue Neutrality.
Every dollar of revenue raised
by stripping out a loophole is to
be returned to the citizenry in
the form of lower tax rates.
Initial revenue neutrality avoids
ideological gridlock over tax
hikes and ensures perfect trans-
parency during any later alter-
ations of that formula.
Start with the obvious boon-
doggles, from the $6 billion a
year wasted on ethanol sub-
sidies to your Democratic pe-
rennials – corporate jets, oil
company breaks, etc. That’s the
fun part. Unfortunately, whack-
ing that piñata yields but pen-
nies on the dollar. The real
money is in the popular tax
breaks: employer-provided
health insurance, mortgage
interest and charitable contribu-
tions. Altering some of these
heretofore politically untouch-
able tax breaks would alone be
a singular achievement.
I’d suggest abolishing the
health care exclusion, which
encourages wasteful medical
spending. I also would gradual-
ly abolish the mortgage-interest
deduction. Start by excluding
second homes and mortgages
greater than, say, $500,000.
Lower that threshold by
$100,000 chunks as the housing
market meets certain threshold
indexes of recovery.
As for charitable contribu-
tions, here I go soft. I’d leave
the deduction intact on the
Madisonian grounds that sub-
sidizing private charity – dona-
tions to institutions chosen by
the citizens, not the state –
disperses power and strength-
ens civil society, the principal
bulwark against state dom-
ination.
But, you say, is not the com-
mittee’s mission to reduce debt?
This, as yet, does nothing.
Correct. But it’s the indispens-
able premise for achieving the
ultimate in debt reduction:
(3) The Grand Bargain.
Once you have serious reve-
nue-neutral tax reform in place,
the ideological horse-trading
that is required for massive
deficit reduction – tax hikes
versus entitlement reform – can
begin.
Republicans will resist the
former, Democrats the latter.
But tax-reform-first makes pos-
sible the compromise that elud-
ed John Boehner and Barack
Obama. Boehner was willing to
increase revenues by $800 bil-
lion. Obama reputedly was
ready to raise the Medicare age
and change the Social Security
cost-of-living formula.
Remember: Tax reform al-
ready will have slashed rates
radically. In one Simpson-Bow-
les scenario, the top rate plung-
es to 23 percent. Conservatives
could at that point contemplate
increasing net revenues by
slightly tweaking these new low
rates, say, back to Reagan’s 28
percent, still much lower than
the current 35 percent and
Obama’s devoutly desired 39.6
percent. The deviation from
revenue neutrality would yield
new tax receipts for the Trea-
sury, in addition to those result-
ing from the economic growth
stimulated by the lower rates.
Democrats would have to
respond by crossing their own
red line on entitlements. That
means real structural changes.
That means raising the Medi-
care and Social Security ages,
indexing them to longevity
(until 70 becomes the new 65)
and changing the inflation
formula.
The result of such a grand
bargain would be debt reduc-
tion on a scale never before
seen. World confidence in the
American economy would rise
dramatically. Best of all, we
would be back on the road to
national solvency.
It can be done. In three
months. In three stages.

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Don Carey and
words by Mark E. Jones
IT WAS 50
years ago this
summer that a
couple of guys
named Mike
and Brian
were sitting in
a California
garage, noodling with a song.
As Mike recalls, the song
“didn’t take that long. Just a
few minutes.” When you read
the lyrics you believe him:
“Surfin’ is the only life
“The only way for me.
“Now surf, surf with me
“Bom Bom Dit Di Dit Dip
“Bom Bom Dit Di Dit Dip
...”
Mike and Brian, along with
two of Brian’s brothers and a
family friend, took the song to
a local record company, which
had wanted them to do a folk
tune a la the Kingston Trio.
Instead, they came up with
“Surfin’.”
And the Beach Boys were
born.
I don’t know which stuns
me more: that the Beach Boys
have been around 50 years, or
that I know their first hit. But
there is something undeniable
about their body of music,
something that says there is
music, and there is iconic
music. Why do songs such as
“California Girls,” “Wouldn’t
It Be Nice” and “Fun Fun Fun”
still sound fresh, still make
people smile, still throw a
beam of sunshine over the
coldest day?
It must be more than the
chords, right?
“It is pretty remarkable,”
Mike Love admitted to me
recently, “that people still
love the songs we created lo
these many years ago.”
Love and the Beach Boys, in
their current incarnation,
were coming to suburban
Detroit for an annual concert
tradition. Of course, most of
the original members weren’t
there – including the semi-
reclusive Brian Wilson or his
now-deceased brothers, Den-
nis and Carl.
But at this point, even the
Beach Boys name is an in-
stitution, and people come
out to sing along with songs
that hearken to a more in-
nocent time – and an endless
summer.
“Dennis, myself and Al (Jar-
dine) were all surfers when
we got started,” Love said. “In
high school, if we heard on
the radio that the surf was up,
we might miss a few after-
noon classes.”
Ironically, once they came
up with “Surfin’,” the band
pretty much retired their
boards. They’ve been touring
every summer since 1962. As
songs such as “Surfin Safari”
and “Surfin USA” became
increasingly bigger hits, the
men singing them were in-
creasingly landlocked.
Still, the feelings their mu-
sic evoked were as sparkly as
sunshine refracting diamonds
on the ocean. In time they
sang about cars (“Little Deuce
Coupe,” “409”), about school
and hanging out (“I Get
Around,” “Be True To Your
School”), about the innocence
of youth (“When I Grow Up to
Be a Man,” “In My Room”)
and eventually, even psyche-
delic spirituality (“Good Vi-
brations”).
But through it all, one thing
was constant. Their sound
was unique.
And you always hummed
along.
I am – obviously – a huge
Beach Boys fan. I admire the
genius of Brian Wilson’s ar-
rangements, his harmonies,
his innovative use of sounds
and instruments. That he did
this on such simple infrastruc-
ture as “Dance, Dance,
Dance” or “Help Me, Rhonda”
only makes it more impres-
sive.
There is no shame in being
serious about music and seri-
ous about the Beach Boys.
Even the Beatles were envious
of their work.
Still, there is something
about finding out that this
band of once shaggy golden
boys is now 50 years old, or
that Mike Love is in his 70s. It
gives you pause.
In “The Picture of Dorian
Gray,” the lead character nev-
er ages, but a hidden portrait
of him shows the decay of
years.
In real life, the Beach Boys
have it better. Their hairlines
and birthday cakes might tell
one story, but their music
tells another. It tells the same
remarkable tale it did the day
they took a garage-created
tune and brought it to a stu-
dio.
Sometimes, magic only
takes a few minutes. And if
you’re lucky, it can last for
decades.
It’s endless summer for Beach Boys’ music

Bazaar backers
much appreciated
F
rom July 8 to 10, the Holy
Family Church in Sugar
Notch held its annual ba-
zaar. Our parish’s event is
noted for its great food and
wonderful stands.
The chairman of the bazaar,
chairmen of the various stands
and organizers all did a won-
derful job.
Over the last two years,
however, our parish lost a
significant number of active
parishioners – people who
gave their hearts, souls and
hard work during the three
days of the bazaar.
The purpose of this letter is
to thank the parishioners who
still work, but mostly to thank
the family and friends of par-
ishioners past and present
who travel long distances from
many states and the District of
Columbia to lend their hard
work to make the bazaar a
success. Friends of Holy Fam-
ily also need to be thanked for
coming to our aid when we
were desperate.
I also thank the members of
the Sugar Notch Fire Co.,
some of whom came all three
evenings to fry potato pan-
cakes, which is not an easy
task.
All these people need to be
recognized and thanked publi-
cly. May God reward you.
I will never forget you.

We, your patients, are truly

Everyone who works in your

You are a very special per-

both physically and mentally.

Zoe continues
to spread cheer
W
e received a letter recent-
ly from a lovely lady,
asking, “How is Zoe?”
It’s a question we are asked
everywhere we go, from so
many people. Many of them
are strangers to us but tell us
they have followed Zoe in the
news for the past 11 years. We
always are so happy to tell
them “Zoe is stable.”
Zoe is now13. New chapters
are starting to open all around
her. She has a zest for life. She
loves art, music, family and
friends. She has a kind heart,
and though her life is one of
many twists and turns, we see
her turning her pain into fuel.
Zoe’s calendar is still filled
with medical appointments
and tests. Her next surgery
will be sometime this fall.
But Zoe lives in the day,
never looks back, and we take
our lead from her. We know
her life will never be easy. We
see one system get on track,
only to have another derailed.
But it is always her, believe it
or not, who cheers us on and
looks into our faces as if to say
“everything will be all right.”
We have learned so much from
Zoe. She taught us what
strength truly is.
Thank you all so much for
allowing us to share Zoe all
these years. Thank you also
for sharing your prayers, good
wishes and for reminding and
encouraging us to “keep the
faith” and to remember that
“out of difficulties grow mira-
cles.”

MOUNTAIN LAURELS
I
want to commend The
Times Leader and reporter
Andrew Seder for taking a
balanced approach to reporting
on the controversial proposal
by Republican State Rep. Mike
Turzai to sell Pennsylvania’s
Wine and Spirits stores and
their wholesale operation (“Ex-
orcising the spirits,” July 14).
Even people cited by Seder
who support privatization have
concerns about the feasibility
of Turzai’s latest scheme. Their
statements show that an issue
this complex, with so many
unintended negative fiscal and
social consequences, deserves
scrutiny beyond political sloga-
neering.
This thoughtful approach,
illustrated in the comments by
state Rep. Karen Boback, R-
Harveys Lake, indicates that
the Republican majority in the
House might not be as unified
and compliant as Turzai thinks.
The only concern I have with
this report is the character-
ization of the Commonwealth
Foundation as an “independ-
ent” organization promoting
free enterprise.
For a truly independent
assessment of the relative
merits of liquor privatization
efforts, I would recommend the
U.S. Centers for Disease Con-
trol. In April, the CDC came
out strongly against liquor
privatization efforts anywhere
in the nation precisely because
of its devastating social conse-
quences.
Pennsylvania benefits from
the highest dollar amount per
gallon of revenue to the state,
while at the same time it has
the lowest death rate related to
alcohol-related diseases.
Turzai’s proposal would
destroy that balanced approach
and do irreparable harm to
Pennsylvania residents. That’s
why I believe that elected offi-
cials, after due consideration,
will reject the corporate propa-
ganda being spewed by Turzai
and his allies and work to pre-
serve and improve the Penn-
sylvania Liquor Control Board.

I
’ve watched with interest
the letters to the editor in
The Times Leader asking to
tax the rich more and not cut
government services or bene-
fits. I offer the following, com-
monly attributed to President
Abraham Lincoln:
1. You cannot bring about
prosperity by discouraging
thrift.
2. You cannot strengthen
the weak by weakening the
strong.
3. You cannot help small
men by tearing down big men.
4. You cannot help the poor
by destroying the rich.
5. You cannot lift the wage-
earner by pulling down the
wage-payer.
6. You cannot keep out of
trouble by spending more
than your income.
7. You cannot further the
brotherhood of man by in-
citing class hatred.
8. You cannot establish
sound security on borrowed
money.
9. You cannot build charac-
ter and courage by taking
away a man’s initiative and
independence.
10. You cannot help men
permanently by doing for
them what they could and
should do for themselves.
While the specific list of
axioms was not Lincoln’s, he
did make genuine statements
that carry the sentiments
expressed above.

Public squelched
by corporations
I
n The Times Leader’s
Wednesday edition an arti-
cle titled “Official: Gas line
deal back on” stated that a
Dallas Township official an-
nounced that “an agreement
with Williams Gathering LLC
to construct part of a natural
gas gathering line is back on.”
In addition, it stated, “a
potential agreement with …
Chief Gathering LLC may also
be in the works.”
Both companies plan to tap
into the Transco pipeline near
the Dallas School District
campus. The companies also
have plans for metering sta-
tions to be built near the
schools.
Apparently, representatives
of the Williams Corp. became
upset when solicitor for the
Dallas supervisors, Mr. Tho-
mas Brennan, announced that
the pipeline project was at an
impasse. They informed him
that they intended to vigor-
ously pursue subdivision and
land development approval.
Apparently, this ultimatum by
the Williams Corp. facilitated
a roll-over on the part of the
Dallas supervisors and their
representatives.
Mr. Brennan went on to
state that Chief Natural Gas
Corp. also contacted him to
discuss a potential agreement
about its pipeline plans. He
stated, “From my perspective,
I would address the same
points and principles with
Chief that I have with Wil-
liams.”
After following this dog-
and-pony show for months, I
would take a wild guess and
say that the results of Mr.
Brennan’s discussion will be
another vote in favor of the
natural gas corporation, the
voices of the public will be
drowned out by corporate
money and the school chil-
dren will have to take their
chances.
Mr. Wayne Weaver, who has
leased land to Chief, “said the
company’s projects will bene-
fit the area, and said he didn’t
understand how the town-
ship’s zoning laws could hold
up the project of multibillion-
dollar corporations,” accord-
ing to the article.
This statement reflects a
belief held by many: that pri-
vate citizens should do noth-
ing to interfere with the
amassing of wealth by corpo-
rations and be thankful for the
trickle down coins we might
receive.
We all know the deck is
stacked in favor of gas corpo-
rations: tax breaks, minimal
regulation, weak environ-
mental standards, paid-off
politicians, multibillion-dollar
deals with foreign countries
and a public that has been
bamboozled into thinking that
democracy really exists. These
conditions have helped corpo-
rations to achieve their pri-
mary goal – to make money,
often at the expense of the
environment.
Until a new structure is
created to deal with these
money-sucking machines, the
public is at a huge disadvan-
tage.

Mineral policy
good first step
I
n this time of economic
difficulty, it seems that the
United States should be
doing everything it can to
make sure quality jobs stay in
America. That’s why I was
glad to hear about the Miner-
als Policy Act of 2011, a bipar-
tisan measure that will ensure
quality jobs and resource
independence for years to
come.
Just like oil and other wide-
ly imported resources, miner-
als are critical to American
success in nearly every indus-
try. But when we rely on for-
eign nations to provide those
resources, as we so often do,
we put both our economy and
our security at an unaccept-
able risk. Moreover, we export
jobs that we desperately need.
American mining policy
needs to be revamped and
re-energized to meet the de-
mands of today’s world. Legis-
lators should ask themselves:
Do we want to continue to
rely on the resources and
labor of foreign nations, or do
we want to take resource
management into our own
hands?
The Minerals Policy Act is
an important step toward the
latter.

Drilling industry
is far from poor
A
report was recently print-
ed in which the gas indus-
try complained about how
opponents to its controversial
technique of hydraulic fractur-
ing are so well-financed. Cut
me a break!
According to Sourcewatch-
.org, lobbying expenditures
for the oil and gas sector were
$84.5 million in 2007, $134.4
million in 2008 and $175.1
million in 2009. The three
largest gas drilling companies
operating in Pennsylvania –
Chesapeake, Range Resources
and Cabot Oil and Gas – for
the period 2007 to 2009 had
combined average annual
revenue and gross income of
$10.9 billion and $6.9 billion,
respectively. And, these aren’t
even the heavy hitters. Exxon
Mobile had a profit of more
than $10 billion in only one
quarter of this year.
The gas companies are not
shy about spending money to
lobby legislators, to fund PACs
to support pro-drilling candi-
dates and to create and fund
organizations such as Energy
in Depth and the Marcellus
Shale Coalition to promote
their activities.
The coalition alone spent
$1.1 million lobbying state
legislators last year.
Sourcewatch.org reported
that Chesapeake, Range and
Cabot all contributed thou-
sands of dollars to Gov. Tom
Corbett’s two-day inaugu-
ration party. This came after
supporting office seekers in
Pennsylvania either directly as
the corporation, or through
their PACs or through individ-
ual contributions to political
candidates.
Is it any wonder, when our
environment is under attack
by the gas drillers, that the
current budget (the first
passed by the Corbett admin-
istration) for the state Depart-
ment of Environmental Re-
sources, the department re-
sponsible for policing the
drillers and protecting the air
and water in our common-
wealth, has been slashed by 7
percent, or $10 million?
Just connect the dots.
Oh, the poor gas industry
and its having to answer ques-
tions from that “well-funded”
group of environmentalists
and concerned citizens.

Keep your focus
while at wheel
D
riving distractions include
anything that causes you
to take your attention
away from driving. You will
not be able to react as quickly
if you are:
• Eating, drinking or smok-
ing. Those activities require
you to take your hands off the
wheel and your eyes off the
road. Drivers who eat or drink
while driving have trouble
controlling their vehicles,
staying in their lanes and tend
to brake more often.
• Adjusting the radio, cas-
sette or CD player.
• Searching for, or moving,
an object in the vehicle.
• Reading, writing or text-
ing.
• Combing hair or applying
makeup.
• “Rubbernecking” when
passing a crash scene or work
zone.
• Looking at people, objects
or events happening off of the
roadway.
• Talking on a cell phone
(hands-free or not).
Another danger is a driver’s
lack of sleep. Every year
across America, people falling
asleep while driving cause an
estimated 100,000 or more
crashes. Around 1,500 people
die and 40,000 are injured in
these crashes.
Of the 100,000 vehicle crash-
es linked to drowsy driving
each year, almost half of them
involve drivers between 15
and 24 years of age. If you are
tired enough, you will fall
asleep and not even know it.
Sleeping behind the wheel for
even a few seconds is enough
to kill you.
If you are a teenage driver
with other teens as passen-
gers, statistics show you are
more likely to crash than if
you are driving alone or with
adult passengers.

Rich bear brunt
of blame game
B
lame the rich that we have
hundreds of methadone
clinics across America.
Blame the rich because 70
percent of diversity births are
illegitimate: no father in the
home. Blame the rich for the
obesity problem in America.
Blame the rich for the fact
that 50 percent of Americans
don’t pay any taxes. Blame the
rich because people stay on
welfare from cradle to grave,
and pass it on to the children.
Blame the rich for crime and
drugs in America. Blame the
rich for the national debt.
By constantly repeating the
“blame the rich” mantra, peo-
ple begin to believe it’s the
rich people’s fault. And then
you can tax them, to give
more money to those who
blame them; and Congress
and the president approve.

Mandate meets
with derision
O
bamacare, through the
Department of Health and
Human Services, will
require health care providers
to provide free “breast-feeding
support, supplies and counsel-
ing.”
As a result of this “free”
mandate, insurance premiums
will be significantly raised.
In order to significantly
reduce such costs, I suggest
that any such “providers” keep
the following handy for breast-
feeding patients:
1. A chair (takes care of
breast-feeding “support and
supplies”).
2. Copies of National Ge-
ographic as far back as 1888,
depicting Papuan or Zambian
moms and their infants in the
highly scientific lactating
process. (Counseling.)

A financial lesson
for hopeful lessors
I
recently heard from a friend
in Little Rock, Ark., who
had just received her annual
royalty check from Chesa-
peake Operating Inc. She did
not lease her land, but under
forced pooling, her 3.45 acres
were subject to fracking.
There is a well within one
mile of her land. Trucks are
running nonstop, and her
whole life has changed.
The check Cindy received
on July 27 was for – brace
yourself for the big bucks –
$17.70. She received two
checks in 2010: one for $23.12
and one for $3.05.
In July 2009 she received a
check from Chesapeake for
$26.26.
I guess what I have read
about the first year of a well
being its most productive is
true. Her royalty check went
from $26.26 to $17.70 in just
three short years.
On the flip side, I found that
Chesapeake CEO Aubrey
McClendon’s total yearly com-
pensation (that is salary and
bonuses) for 2010 was $114.29
million, down from $116.89
million in 2008. However,
according to Forbes Magazine,
he was still the third-highest
paid CEO in the United
States.
According to Wikipedia,
52-year-old Aubrey McClen-
don’s 2011 net worth is $1.2
billion.
I ask you this: Who do you
think has the better deal? My
friend Cindy in Arkansas or
McClendon?
Let this be a warning to
people who think they are
going to be millionaires when
they lease their acres to the
gas company. Cindy didn’t
have a choice, because of
forced pooling, but in Penn-
sylvania there is no forced
pooling … yet!
Lessors beware.

Yet another blow
to middle class
Y
ou have to admit one
thing about the tea party
Republicans. They are
ruthless in their resolve not to
raise taxes on the wealthiest 1
percent of the population. The
people who do pay the most
taxes, the middle class, be
damned.
According to the editor of
Parade magazine, if corpora-
tions were taxed at 1961 rates,
the government would gain
three-quarters of a trillion
dollars more for the U.S. Trea-
sury annually.
A recent study at the Uni-
versity of California shows
that the top 1 percent of the
population holds 34 percent of
all privately owned wealth; the
next 19 percent held 51 per-
cent of the wealth, and that
leaves 80 percent of the pop-
ulation with only 15 percent of
the wealth.
You might say, “We are a
capitalist society and we
should not question the out-
come of this economy.” Yes, it
was capitalism that built this
country. Our capitalist society
gave us our interstates, our
Levittowns, shopping malls,
suburbs, great cities and
sprawling factories such as
Procter & Gamble, GE and
our automobile companies.
But something’s gone wrong
with our system.
The spoils of our system
have not benefited our middle
class. The pensions that work-
ers were promised from these
great industries have shrunk
or disappeared; the jobs that
they would pass on to their
children have gone to foreign
shores. The shops and retail
outlets that we patronized
either disappeared or have
been compelled to predom-
inately carry the goods of
foreign nations. The homes
that the middle class built
have lost their value.
Is it because we now have a
system of capitalism at its
ugliest? It is reminiscent of
the 19th and 20th century
when the Southern plantation
owners and Northern industri-
alists all ran roughshod over
the country until they were
faced with the rebellion of
workers.
Yes, our debt is out of con-
trol. The money we spend on
warfare, more than $3 billion a
week, puts our most precious
resource at risk: our young
men and women.
These conflicts were sup-
posed to reward us with low
oil prices. The only people
who are rewarded are those in
corporations tied to the mil-
itary-industrial complex. We
are being weakened financially
and morally by spreading
ourselves across the globe. We
have damaged infrastructure
back home, yet we’re rebuild-
ing schools and hospitals in
Iraq.
We all hoped that the last
congressional election would
bring change for the better.
But, each party has its agenda:
the Democrats who look to
votes from the poor and dis-
enfranchised at any cost and
the Republicans who curry
favor with the wealthiest.
The middle-class worker,
who carries the tax load for
the country, has been ignored
and kicked in the can, again.

Put holy back
in matrimony
W
hat is the definition of
marriage?
It used to be, accord-
ing to the 1828 edition of
Webster’s Dictionary: “The act
of uniting a man and woman
for life; wedlock; the legal
union of a man and woman for
life. Marriage is a contract
both civil and religious, by
which the parties engage to
live together in mutual affec-
tion and fidelity, (until) death
shall separate them. Marriage
was instituted by God himself
for the purpose of preventing
the promiscuous intercourse
of the sexes, for promoting
domestic felicity, and for secu-
ring the maintenance and
education of children.”
But in the 1930s, something
happened.
Contraception became ac-
ceptable and thereby rendered
the “marriage act” sterile. The
unique capacity for married
couples to procreate was taken
out of the picture.
Until we accept that the
generation of new offspring is,
in fact, a natural product of
“marriage,” anything goes. We
can marry anyone, anything or
any number, as long as we’re
in love.
In the words of St. Francis
de Sales in the book “Intro-
duction to the Devout Life,”
“Marriage is a great Sacra-
ment ... It is the nursery of
Christianity, which supplies
the earth with faithful souls to
fill up the number of the elect
in heaven.”
Anything else is a counter-
feit.

Debt ceiling battle
merely a pretense
I
was watching the news the
other day; the screen was
split.
On one side was a news
reporter; on the other was a
view of a conference room in
which they were waiting for
Congressman John Boehner
to speak about the deficit
battle.
While waiting for the con-
gressman to walk out, the
reporter related that Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid
already had said that the
Boehner bill will be voted
down in the Senate, and Presi-
dent Obama said that if the
bill makes it to his desk, he
will veto it.
While still waiting for the
congressman to walk out, the
reporter went on to say that
Sen. Reid had a bill and Con-
gressman Boehner already has
said that the Reid bill will be
voted down in the House, and
President Obama said that if
the bill makes it to his desk,
he will veto it.
While still waiting for the
congressman, the reporter
went on to say that sources
have reported that the presi-
dent, the senator and the
congressman were meeting
behind closed doors to work
out a compromise.
So why are they going
through this farce, pretending
they are fighting for you?
It’s a manufactured deficit
battle – something along the
lines of professional wrestlers
being interviewed before a
fight in which both sides know
what the results will be.
If the president, the senator
and the congressman are
meeting behind closed doors
to “work out a compromise”
while all this “fighting to get a
deal” is being put before the
public, then all three are scam-
ming the people to stay in
power.

Helpful ways
to beat heat
L
ately there have been nu-
merous articles in the
newspapers concerning the
hot weather and the high
humidity. Heat has a huge
effect on the way we feel. And
here are a few ideas on what
we can do about it.
First, we know that heat
rises. To get this heat out of
our homes, we should open a
window or vent in the upstairs
or in the attic.
Keep in mind that every-
thing in our homes – such as
the furniture, appliances,
clothing in the closets, TVs,
sinks and bathtubs – absorbs
heat. To eliminate this excess
heat, open the windows when
the outside temperature gets
lower, such as in the early
morning. And when the out-
side temperature begins to
rise we should close these
windows. It is also wise to
keep the direct sunlight from
entering our homes.
This high heat also has a
devastating effect on our bod-
ies. Don’t wear tight or heavy
clothing (wear light-colored
clothing). Don’t overeat. Try
to keep out of the direct sun-
light as much as possible.
I hope that you will find this
helpful.

Advisory Commission, which
recommended any tax levied on
drillers be linked to state laws en-
suring “fair and consistent mu-
nicipal regulation.”
That has set the stage for a de-
bate in the General Assembly,
where bills that would link taxes
and fees with a uniform zoning
statute are pending.
Going into that debate, the
commission’s recommendation
should be seen as a win for com-
munities, said David M. Sanko, a
commission member and execu-
tive director of the Pennsylvania
State Association of Township
Supervisors. The recommenda-
tion would allow for municipal
regulation as long as it does not
“unreasonably impede the devel-
opment of natural gas.”
The commission acknowl-
edged that “Pennsylvania is too
large and too diverse for there to
be a one-size-fits-all solution,”
Sanko said. “Our intent from the
very beginning was that those
would be local decisions, local
determinations.”
Several lawyers, however, said
the recommendation is too
vague.
“Any time lawyers use the
word ‘reasonable,’ there’s going
to be disputes over it,” said Lane
Turturice, solicitor for North Be-
thlehem, which is in a legal dis-
pute over zoning laws with Cecil-
basedRiceEnergy. “It needs tobe
more spelledout” if it makes it in-
to legislation, he said.
The language about “fair and
consistent” regulation could un-
dermine Sanko’s claim, said Ross
Pifer, director of the Agricultural
Law Resource and Reference
Center at Penn State University’s
Dickinson School of Law. That
language could be interpreted to
mean a one-size-fits-all set of
rules is needed statewide, he
said.
Some local officials will take
advantage if there is no uniformi-
ty, said Drew Crompton, chief of
staff for Senate President Pro
Tempore Joe Scarnati. His staff is
researching local zoning laws to
show how several communities
abused their rights by making
laws so complicated they effec-
tively ban drilling, Crompton
said.
“I believeit wouldbeaverybad
ideatohavealocal impact feegiv-
en back to a local community if
that local community did in fact
ban drilling in their community
or in their jurisdiction,” Cromp-
ton said.
Scarnati’s pending bill for an
impact fee calls for the state Pub-
lic Utility Commission to adopt a
model ordinance. It would pro-
hibit municipalities from getting
money if they adopt more strin-
gent zoning ordinances.
Some municipal officials said a
state standard could work, but
that the model ordinance needs
to be flexible and, in some sec-
tions, give local officials a menu
of choices. Cecil, for example,
has an elementary school near
one of its industrial zones, so it
should have the option of putting
conditions on drilling there,
Schrader said.
At least three dozenmunicipal-
ities in Washington, Westmore-
land and Allegheny counties
passed or are contemplating
laws, and the trend is to allow
shale gas drilling under “condi-
tional use.” That essentially
means each well gets a lengthy
review, which advocates say
forces drillers to keep updated
thecommunities inwhichthey’re
working.
Industry officials have pushed
for “permitteduse,” whichallows
drillers to drill without public re-
views as long as they meet re-
quirements in the zoning code.
The industry understands why
some communities want condi-
tions on their work, but without
some boundaries on those condi-
tions they can impede develop-
ment, said Kathryn Klaber, presi-
dent andexecutivedirector of the
Cecil-based Marcellus Shale Coa-
lition.
“Apermitted use by right is ob-
viously the most straightforward
way to give the most predictabil-
ity for all parties involved,” Klab-
er said.

priorities, just leave us
alone.”
Advocates of anti-obesity
policies, however, say the
government has a responsib-
ility to intervene when tax-
payers pick up much of the
nation’s obesity-related
health care costs, calculated
at $147 billion in 2008 by the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
In Illinois alone, obesity re-
sults in $3.4 billion a year in
additional medical costs, a
figure that is projected to rise
to $15 billion by 2018 if trends
continue, said Elissa Bassler,
chief executive of the Illinois
Public Health Institute.
“So if you are not even con-
cerned about health and care
only about economics you can
still see how this affects the
bottom line for employers,
the business community and
policymakers,” she said. “The
cost to their pocketbook is
just overwhelming.”
In response to the state’s
rising obesity levels — which
have increased more than 80
percent since 1995, according
to the CDC — public and pri-
vate stakeholders formed the
Illinois Alliance to Prevent
Obesity in January 2010. This
month the group presented a
State Obesity Action Road-
map featuring eight objec-
tives — from making healthy
food more accessible to pro-
moting safe and active trans-
portation — aimed at stabiliz-
ing state obesity levels by
2015 and reversing the trend
by 2018.
But to “Obesity Myth” au-
thor Paul Campos, such ini-
tiatives reflect a refusal to ac-
cept the ineffectiveness of
population-wide weight re-
duction programs.
Campos, a University of
Colorado law professor, bases
much of his pessimism on
long-term health interven-
tions by Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity and the University of
Minnesota that resulted in
improved health behaviors
but no weight loss. He also
notes that the most reliable
CDC data show a plateauing
of obesity rates over the last
decade.
“We don’t know how to
make fat people thin or how
to keep thin people from get-
ting fat on a population-wide
basis,” said Campos. “This is
considered a heretical and
anathematizing thing to say
in these public policy de-
bates, but it’s a critical detail
that tends to be ignored by
policymakers. They are rec-
ommending interventions
that have been tested repeat-
edly and don’t work.”
Supporters of anti-obesity
policies don’t deny past prob-
lems but note that many of
the newer strategies have not
yet been tried, or at least not
for very long.
Among these strategies are
calorie labeling requirements
at chain restaurants that will
go into effect nationally in
2012. New voluntary guide-
lines on advertising “junk
food” to children were also re-
leased last week, to protests
by the food industry.
As nutrition policy director
for the Center for Science in
the Public Interest, Margo
Wootan has been working on
both issues for about a decade
and said that only today is she
seeing the first glimmers of
results.
“These strategies may take
time to create measurable
changes in public health,” she
said. “Preliminary studies on
local menu labeling laws have
been mixed, but it’s still early.
Come back in five years and
ask me how well menu label-
ing works.”
It has become accepted wis-
dom in the anti-obesity com-
munity that opening full-ser-
vice grocery stores with fresh
produce in areas known as
“food deserts” will increase
consumption and improve
health. But a recent study
found that doing so doesn’t
always translate into health-
ier eating — especially when
fast-food restaurants are
around.
“Just making these foods
available doesn’t mean that
people are going to buy them
or eat them,” said Ruth Kava,
a senior fellow at American
Council on Science and
Health, which is partially
funded by the food industry.
“Many people are not going
to know what to do with them
because their family has nev-
er used that kind of food. In
my mind it boils down to ap-
propriate education.”
But Rebecca A. Krukowski,
an assistant professor of
health behavior at the Univer-
sity of Arkansas, says educa-
tion may not be enough. Peo-
ple knew it was unhealthy to
smoke, she said, “but it was
only when we added high to-
bacco taxes that we saw a dif-
ference in quit rates and re-
ducing the initiation of smok-
ers, especially in vulnerable
populations like young peo-
ple or those with low in-
comes.”
Most observers agree that
obesity is a more complicated
issue than smoking and that
prohibitively high taxes on
soda and junk food could be
hard to pass. Such rules seem
“kind of punitive,” Kava said.
“Simply demonizing one kind
of food or beverage is not go-
ing to solve the problem.”
OBESITY

(and) smaller government,”
echoes Perry.
But once in a while, a bit of
daring comes through, in this
case from Romney: “Government
can promote opportunity or it can
crush it,” he writes. “To a point,
even taxes can foster opportuni-
ty.” No wonder “tea party” adher-
ents are suspicious.
They all want to repeal Oba-
ma’s health-care law. “It will
destroy our nation’s health-care
system,” warns Perry. “This is not
hyperbole.”
The choice for Republican
primary voters next year, at least
judging by the literary works of
the candidates, lies within a re-
markably narrow range. They
won’t be offered differing ap-
proaches to government, only
different ideas about how hard
and fast to pursue it.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Already
secure as country music’s king of
the road, Kenny Chesney is really
flexing his muscle now.
Chesney is poised to reach a
milestone — and perhaps clear a
path — as he readies for Saturday’s
visit to New Meadowlands Stadi-
um in New Jersey. Chesney has al-
ready sold more than 44,000 tick-
ets, making it the hottest single
paid country show in the New York
City-New Jersey area since Willie
Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle
Haggard and Linda Ronstadt drew
more than 51,000 in 1983.
“I don’t know if taking a chance
is the right word, but to be honest
with you it was a little bit of a risk
to play Meadowlands Stadium,”
Chesney said. “But my whole tour-
ing life has been a risk. ... One day I
said, ‘You know, I want to be able
to say I played the New York-New
Jersey area and I did it in a football
stadium.’ We almost did it two
years ago, and so now I felt like the
time was right. I’m glad I was
right.”
Playing against the odds is pay-
ing off. The greater New York met-
ropolitan area has traditionally
been a no-fly zone for country art-
ists. But Chesney is matching art-
ists like Jon Bon Jovi stride for
stride in his home state and with
other artists like Taylor Swift —
who recently played in front of
52,000 fans in four sold-out arena
shows in Newark, N.J. — is helping
show there’s room for a little
twang in the shadow of the Big Ap-
ple.
Meadowlands CEO Mark Lamp-
ing expects Chesney’s show with
Zac Brown Band, Billy Currington
and Uncle Kracker to sell out at
around 50,000 and notes the show
could clear the way for more major
country acts to play a market they
once wrote off.
“We’ve always believed in the
show,” Lamping said. “We were
perhaps a little anxious in the be-
ginning because there hasn’t been
a big (country) show here in a long
time. But we were confident this
would be a success, and it’s been a
success beyond what our original
expectations were. It certainly
gives us a lot of confidence to
bring other shows to this market.”
Chesney’s rise in the New York
area coincides with a resurgence in
the music touring business. After a
rough 2010 thanks to the weakened
economy, musicians are seeing an
increase in gross revenue — if not
ticket sales.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
What would happen if you
did not see yourself as
obligated to anyone? For
just one day, assume that
everyone on the planet
is as responsible for him
or herself as you are for
yourself.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You are in the mood to be
spoiled rotten, though it
may seem that those in
your inner circle missed
the memo. There is some-
one else out there who
would love to give you
gifts. Branch out to find
this person.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You’ll have fun, but you’ll
never quite lose your-
self in the heat of the
moment. You wisely real-
ize how important it is to
keep your wits about you
and make sure you know
exactly what is going on.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You will be extra observ-
ant now as you strive to
know what your loved
ones like, dislike, think and
feel. Being in touch with
the others around you
will make life much
easier for you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
needn’t grab at happiness
now; it will linger around
you like a hungry stray cat.
The less you try to hold on
to it the more likely it will
be to hover nearby.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You are in tune to the
ways others perceive the
world, but you do not
always choose to see
things the same way. Your
open mind allows you
great flexibility of thought.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
There is something strong
in you that needs to
explore who you are as an
individual right now. So it’s
not your day to conform,
no matter who is ask-
ing you to do so or what
amount of money is being
offered.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Your water-sign intuition
combined with a sailor’s
knowledge of “the ropes”
will help you hoist your
sail. You’ll make easy use
of the strong winds of
change that blow through
your life this week.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You want to know
more about the world.
Your adventurous spirit
will soar when you spend
time with equally enthusi-
astic and curious people.
At the drop of a hat,
you will be ready to
experiment.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You are thinking
along the lines of cau-
tion. It will make you feel
safe and secure to have
extra batteries, water,
sunscreen, etc. And that
secure feeling will trans-
late into greater confi-
dence and ease.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Your boldness will bring
people into your world.
You’ll initiate conversation
and keep it fresh. When
others are being too safe
and polite, you’ll add just
the right amount of spice.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You have this brilliant way
of stopping everything and
thinking of nothing. You
freeze in time and shift
your gears. You become
less “mind” and more
“heart,” and you solve the
problem.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(August 7). The love in
your heart shines through
your eyes. September
will be a blithe, happy-go-
lucky time, and yet you’ll
still accomplish some of
your best work. You’re
most productive when
you do what you enjoy.
New friends show up in
September. December
brings an adventure. The
new year brings a career
change. Libra and Pisces
people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 4, 25, 1,
43 and 19.

have been carded when buy-
ing alcohol or lottery tickets.
Four months ago I grew a
beard, which makes me look
more my age. I’m an actor,
and in the past audiences
had difficulty accepting me
in certain roles because of
my youthful appearance. My
beard solved that problem.
My sister-in-law is getting
married this summer and in-
sists I shave my beard for the
ceremony and wedding pho-
tos. I keep it well-groomed, I
don’t want to shave it.
My sister-in-law is recover-
ing from cancer, and my wife
thinks I’ll look like a jerk if
I refuse to comply. I’m not
part of the wedding party,
but I am the head usher
and will be in many of the
family photos. Is her request
appropriate?
— Conflicted in Canada
Dear Conflicted: You should
not have to shave your beard
in order to be an usher. Offer
your sister-in-law a choice:
Either you can remain as you
are, or she can find someone
else to steer her guests to
their seats.
Dear Abby: You often advise
readers who have the time
to reach out and volunteer.
There’s a little-known pro-
gram in every state that was
mandated by a 1978 amend-
ment to the “Older Ameri-
cans Act.” It’s the Long-Term
Care Ombudsman Program.
Its goal is to help assure that
long-term care facility resi-
dents live harmoniously and
with dignity, feeling free to
voice complaints or concerns
without reprisal.
The ultimate goal is to
have one volunteer in each
nursing home. After train-
ing is completed, volunteers
spend eight to 16 hours
a month visiting their as-
signed nursing homes. They
talk with the residents and
observe conditions. If there’s
a complaint, they take it to
their regional ombudsman
for resolution.
A volunteer ombudsman is
the voice for those who have
none, and helps to make
each community a better
place to live.
— Jill in Van Buren, Ark.
Dear Jill: Readers, this is
important work. If you are
interested in volunteering,
contact your local social ser-
vices agency or Department
of Aging.

most memorable — and most fre-
quently requested — poems and
essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check

ers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL

in chief, Gary Bongiovanni,
says while ticket sales are still
lagging behind, overall gross
revenue is up both worldwide
and in North America. The cu-
mulative gross of $1.65 billion
by the world’s top 50 tours is
up $166 million or 11.2 per-
cent. Ticket sales are down by
about 2 percent, Bongiovanni
says, but artists have made up
for that drop with increased
prices.
While U2 continues to dom-
inate with gross revenues of
$85.8 billion, Chesney’s Goin’
Coastal Tour is helping drive
that resurgence as well with
more than 1.1 million tickets
sold so far. Chesney is the top
country act and fourth overall
on Pollstar’s list of gross reve-
nue for the top 100 North
American tours at $46.7 mil-
lion. He has sold out 27 shows
this year, including five stadi-
um shows (with the sixth at
96 percent capacity).
“The only other (country)
artist who could draw in the
same realm is Garth Brooks,”
Bongiovanni said. “ ... And
then Taylor Swift has been so
red hot that in some markets
with proper packaging she’s
been able to fill stadiums as
well, but not with the fre-
quency and consistency that
Kenny has in the past.”

Digging in her heels has cer-
tainly paid off for the actress.
This summer alone, Stone can be
seen in three films. She plays Jus-
tin Timberlake’s ex in “Friends
With Benefits,” Ryan Gosling’s
main squeeze in “Crazy Stupid
Love” and a college grad longing
for a career in journalism in the
Civil Rights-era “The Help,”
which opens Friday in area thea-
ters. Stone isn’t about to play fa-
vorites with her films but, she
says, “The Help” does “mean an
incredible amount tome. It’s real-
ly special to me and incredibly
personal.”
Set in Jackson, Miss., during
the 1960s, “The Help” revolves
around Skeeter Phelan (Stone), a
young woman who, fresh out of
college, lands a job writing the
Miss Myrna cleaning-hints co-
lumn for her local newspaper.
Skeeter asks for tips from her
best friend’s maid, Aibileen (Vio-
la Davis), and finds herself mes-
merized by the stories Aibileen
tells about working as a house-
keeper for white folks. Spurred
on by a book editor in New York,
Skeeter andAibileenembarkona
secret writing project.
Skeptical of this secret history
is outspoken maid Minny (Octa-
vio Spencer) who works for Skee-
ter’s uptight buddy Hilly (Bryce
Dallas Howard). Also starring in
the movie are Cicely Tyson, Sissy
Spacek, Jessica Chastain and Al-
lison Janney.
Stone describes Skeeter as “a
bit of a misfit. Someone who has
never been rebellious. She has al-
ways conformed to the laws of
her society, her family, her
friends. But when it comes to
writing, as time goes on and as
the story unfolds, she begins to
understand that her way of think-
ing is more progressive than the
people in her town. In a way, it’s a
coming-of-age story for Skeeter.”
“The Help,” based on a 2009
bestseller by Kathryn Stockett
and directed by Stockett’s child-
hood buddy Tate Taylor, was
filmed in the small town of
Greenwood, Miss., in the heart of
the summer. The temperatures,
which routinely topped 100 de-
grees, didn’t faze the Arizona-
bred Stone but the close-knit
community was a revelation to
her.
“I hadnever experiencedbeing
in the heart of the South before,”
she says. “And I didn’t under-
stand what a small town was like
because I’m from Phoenix, and
then I lived in Los Angeles, and
now I live in New York.
“Being in a small town, you in-
stantly realize that everybody
knows all of your business. And
everybody knows what you’re do-
ing and who you had over last
night andwhere youwent for din-
ner. Skeeter is sneaking off in the
middle of the night to Aibileen’s
house to write this book. And if
anyone knew anything, they
would be dead.”
Upuntil now, comedy has been
Stone’s strong suit. After stealing
scenes away from Jonah Hill and
Michael Cera in “Superbad,” she
starred in “The House Bunny,”
“Zombieland” and “Easy A.”
Hosting “Saturday Night
Live,” she told “Entertainment
Weekly,” was “the No. 1highlight
of my entire life.”
Stone learned her craft early.
She was 11 when she made her
stage debut in a regional theater
production of “The Wind in the
Willows.” Home-schooled for
two years so she could appear in
16 productions at Phoenix’s Val-
ley Youth Theater, Stone got
hooked on the unpredictable
thrills of sketch comedy.
“I think improv was my
sports,” she says. “You knowhow
sports teaches you patience and
understanding and teamwork?
Improv … taught me all of that.
And it made me feel really great.”
When she was 15, Stone per-
suaded her mother to move with
her to Los Angeles so she could
pursue an acting career. She
dropped out of high school, and
in January 2005 the pair took up
residence in Hollywood.
Stone’s career received a big
boost last year when she snagged
one of the movie industry’s most
sought-after roles: Spidey gal pal
Gwen Stacy in the “The Amazing
Spider-Man,” a reboot of the hit
comic-book franchise. Not long
after she was cast, Stone discov-
ered she had an intense fear of
heights. On the set of “Crazy Stu-
pid Love,” she suffered a panic at-
tack during a scene in which
Ryan Gosling lifted her over his
head. “They hadtouse stunt dou-
bles (for the longshots),” she ad-
mits of the sequence, which re-
enacts a moment from “Dirty
Dancing.”
“When I was 7, I was standing
on parallel bars in gymnastics
class and fell forward and broke
both my arms. I didn’t realize
that that was still a fear. So when
Ryan was lifting me, I was like,
‘Oh, no, no, no, no, no.’ I was like
a spider monkey (grabbing hold
of) Ryan’s head.
“Ryan still thinks I didn’t trust
him. But it wasn’t that at all. It
was that I didn’t trust myself to
not spazz out and fall.”
Luckily for Stone, her fear of
heights was less of anissueonthe
set of “Spider-Man,” which stars
Andrew Garfield in the title role.
“I did do wire work for ‘Spider-
Man,’ but that was like being on a
roller coaster,” she says. “I’mfine
on a roller coaster, but once you
put me in one of those bungee-
jump things where they shoot
you up and let you freefall, that I
don’t like.
“As long as I have some type of
harness, I’m OK. But I get really
freaked out when I’m in freefall.”
STONE
Continued from Page 1F
“Being in a small town, you instantly realize
that everybody knows all of your business. And
everybody knows what you’re doing and who
you had over last night and where you went for
dinner. Skeeter is sneaking off in the middle of
the night to Aibileen’s house to write this book.
And if anyone knew anything, they would be
dead.”
Emma Stone on The Help
Though the ideas initially
stem from Rusty, Cathy refines
them.
“I haveatendencytogoreally
weird, kind of crazy, and then
Cathy reels me in,” Rusty said.
“My original idea was way too
scary, too adult.”
“When we sat down to write,
weeachwrotesomething, but it
just never worked for the other
person,” Cathy said. “We had a
plastic-surgery-gone-wrong sto-
ry. A ‘Lucy has a twin’ story, a
human-twin plot, all kinds of
ideas. We could never settle.”
Atrip to the Gas Works Park,
the site of a former gasification
plant in Seattle, changed every-
thing.
“As soon as we sawit, I knew
that’s where the story had to
take place,” Rusty said. “There
were just monstrous structures
everywhere. The feel of it was
perfect.”
And so the collaboration be-
gan. Cathy said the process was
relatively easy, with some ex-
ceptions, of course.
“I’ve ‘killed’ him about eight
times, he’s ‘killed’ me about10.”
Making sure Lucy and Leo
were believable children was a
challenge, considering the two
have no children of their own.
“We wanted to be absolutely
certainwe hadthe dialogue cor-
rect,” Cathy said. “We were
showing it to our friends with
kids. We wanted her to talk like
a10-year-old girl would.”
The thought that something
so hard and cold as Lucy could
have feelings intrigued Rusty.
“To me, robots have aches
and pains just like we do,” he
said. “I wanted to explore that
notion.”
So the Lucy story is far from
over. Two more books are
planned.
“We’vegot alot of goodtwists
coming up,” Cathy said.
LUCY

‘Mechanical Heart,’ one of Rusty Sherrill’s works, hangs in
the bedroom of Howard Wolowitz , a character on the hit CBS
show ‘The Big Bang Theory.’
Just because Lucy is an
8-year-old robot doesn’t
mean she’s void of feelings,
as evident in ‘Lucy the Little
Robot Girl,’ a story told by
Wilkes-Barre native Cathy
Sherrill and her husband,
Rusty.

the Continental Divide. Home to
grizzlies and wolf packs, it is the
most remote wilderness in the lower
48.
Cody Hoyt is a native of Montana,
but he isn’t much of an outdoors-
man, and he’s
far from being
at home on a
horse. Still,
he’s riding into
this trackless
landscape with
only an old,
broken-down
outfitter for a
guide.
Cody was
born into a fam-
ily of drunken criminals, and like the
rest of his family, he’s got a big prob-
lem with the bottle. But Cody is no
outlaw. He’s a lawman. Given his
propensity for breaking every rule,
including the one that says you
aren’t supposed to shoot somebody
in the knee to get him to talk, he’s
the sort of lawman you never want
to meet — unless you are in desper-
ate trouble and need his help.
And the person in trouble now is
his estranged teenage son, Justin.
“Back of Beyond” is a stand-alone
thriller from C.J. Box, author of 12
previous crime novels, 10 of them
featuring a Wyoming game warden
named Joe Pickett. Box’s “Blue
Heaven” won the Mystery Writers of
America’s Edgar Award for the best
novel of 2008, but the newbook may
be his best yet.
The rich guy Cody’s ex-wife is
planning to marry has taken Justin
on a trip into the Thorofare, travel-
ing in the company of a dozen other
greenhorns who paid an outfitter a
stiff fee to lead them on what they
imagine will be the trip of a lifetime.
But back in Lewis and Clark Coun-
ty in Montana, someone has mur-
dered Cody’s best friend, and his in-
vestigation leads him to think that
the killer, or maybe killers, are on
that same trip. As he rides through
the thickly forested mountains, he
finds a body beside the trail. And
then another. And another.
The novel is beautifully written,
especially when Box is portraying
the Yellowstone landscape.
“It was still moist in the trees from
a brief rain shower that came at
dawn as they set out, and raindrops
clung like tears to the tips of the pine
needles. Occasionally, there was a
break in the canopy and light
streamed through like jail bars.”
The plot is a roller-coaster ride of
unexpected twists and turns, mak-
ing “Back of Beyond” one of the
most suspenseful wilderness thrill-
ers since “Deliverance.” And Box’s
characters are so real that you want
to reach out and shake their hands
— or flee from them as fast as you
can.
Wilderness
thriller full
of suspense
By BRUCE DeSILVA
For The Associated Press
“Back of Beyond” (Minotaur Books), by
C.J. Box:
When U.S. Navy SEALs last
spring ended a seemingly end-
less manhunt by killing Osama
binLadeninhis hide-out inanaf-
fluent suburb north of Pakistan’s
capital, the world learned that
the code name given to the al-
Qaida leader during that oper-
ation was Geronimo.
Although the designation up-
set some Native Americans, it
had some compelling logic. The
strategic manhunt launched by
U.S. forces 125 years ago was tar-
geted at Geronimo, the tribal
warrior whose savage attacks on
American set-
tlers in the
Southwest
made him the
target of Army
troops who
pursued him
on both sides
of the border
with Mexico.
The hunts for Geronimo and
bin Laden were centered in bor-
derlands that included rugged,
mountainous terrain. The
Apache leader, for whom the
government posteda $25,000 re-
ward, surrendered in 1886 after
evadingU.S. andMexicantroops
for more than a year. In contrast,
the quest for binLaden, who had
a$25millionbountyonhis head,
went on for 13 years.
Benjamin Runkle, an ex-para-
trooper and presidential speech-
writer now on the staff of the
House Armed Services Commit-
tee, details the hunts for Geroni-
mo, bin Laden and other target-
edindividuals inAsia, Africa and
the Americas. They include Fil-
ipino rebel leader Emilio Agui-
naldo, Mexican bandit Pancho
Villa, Panamanian strongman
and drug dealer Manuel Noriega
anddeposedIraqi President Sad-
dam Hussein.
Although there is no shortage
of books about bin Laden, Run-
kle breaks new ground by put-
ting his story in the context of
earlier manhunts that are surely
less familiar to most readers.
“Wanted Dead or Alive” may
be most appealing to those with
an interest in military history,
but should also find favor with a
broader readership drawn to
lesser known episodes in the na-
tion’s past.
Most of the manhunts de-
tailed in the book came to a suc-
cessful conclusion. The author
goes on to weigh the various ele-
ments that make for such an out-
come, assigning less importance
to factors such as technology
and terrain and more to what he
regards as the potential key to
success: actionable human intel-
ligence that can locate the tar-
get.
That was certainly the case
withbinLaden, whose trail went
cold in the mountains of Tora
Bora. He met his end after inter-
rogated detainees identified one
of his trusted couriers. Likewise,
help from one of Saddam’s secu-
rity officers led searchers to the
spider hole where he was hiding
out.
Geronimo’s fate was far differ-
ent. After constant pursuit byAr-
my troops, he surrendered and
eventually became a celebrity,
appearing at Wild West shows
and participating in Theodore
Roosevelt’s inaugural parade.
There have been nearly a doz-
en deployments of U.S. military
forces whose missions were to
kill or capture one specific per-
son. At a time when leaders of
terrorist groups or rogue states
may pose the most immediate
threats to U.S. security, Runkle
predicts that the most recent
manhunt will not be the last.
Author writes of U.S. military’s strategic manhunts throughout history

“Wanted Dead or Alive: Man-
hunts FromGeronimo to bin
Laden” (Palgrave Macmillan), by
Benjamin Runkle:
I
t’s a challenge: Choose the location for the origi-
nal Garden of Eden fromthe17 suggested by this
book’s new map.
In the first two chapters of the book of Genesis,
God is quoted as pinpointing the fruitful area where
AdamandEve wouldlive. He names four rivers flow-
ing out of it.
Two of the rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates,
largely in what is now Iraq, are familiar to anyone
who has looked at war news in the last decade. They
flow side by side, from Turkey in the north, south
through Iraq into the Persian Gulf.
The other two rivers —God calls themthe Pishon
and the Gihon — have not been finally identified.
They’ve puzzled adventurous minds for centuries,
including St. Augustine, Christopher Columbus and
Emperor Wilhelm II, who led Germany through
World War I.
St. Augustine, an early commentator, had trouble
deciding if the garden was a real place, finally con-
cluding that it was. Columbus wrote Ferdinand and
Isabella that if the area that impressed him — now
northern Venezuela —could be conquered, it would
help convert pagans to Christianity. The emperor
sometimes called “Kaiser Bill” got into trouble with
German church people after he helped run a slide
show on a controversial theory.
Author Brook Wilensky-Lanford confuses the puz-
zlement a bit more by calling her survey “Paradise
Lust.” This isn’t a sex manual, just wordplay on John
Milton’s epic poem, “Paradise Lost.” She clarifies in
her subtitle: “Searching for the Garden of Eden” and
goes ontodescribe the persistent —some might say,
passionate — pursuit over the centuries.
Her witty andexhaustively researchedbookfavors
a theory in a 1987 article for the Smithsonian Maga-
zine. It attributes the idea to Juris Zarins, then pro-
fessor of archaeology at Southwest Missouri State
University. She reached him last year.
He sees the Adamand Eve story as a personalized
version of prehistoric conflict, largely in southern
Iraq.
Prehistoric hunter-gatheringpeoples depended—
as did Adam and Eve before the serpent came — on
God’s bounty of wild plants and prey they could kill.
Anewand progressive generation consisted of farm-
ers who devised how to plant their own seeds and
choose their own food — like Adam and Eve, post-
serpent.
Wilensky-Lanford reached Zarins at his later work
inthesultanateof Omanandaskedwhat was sofasci-
nating about the Garden of Eden.
“You tell me,” he replied, “you’re the one calling
from halfway around the world!”
By CARL HARTMAN For The Associated Press
“Paradise Lust: Searching for the Garden of Eden” (Grove Press), by Brook Wilensky-Lanford:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
Nashville has no theme park,
no beach and no casinos.
But it has music. Lots of it.
The National Folk Festival,
coming to Nashville for Labor
Day weekend, caps off several
months of major events here
that validate Nashville’s self-
proclaimed moniker “Music
City USA.”
The free, 73rd folk festival
Sept. 2-4 will showcase more
than 250 of the country’s finest
traditional performers and
craftsmen, with simultaneous
performances on six stages
throughout the Bicentennial
Capitol Mall State Park. An es-
timated 60,000 to 80,000 at-
tendees are expected.
Audiences will be treated to
authentic blues, gospel, jazz,
cowboy, bluegrass, klezmer,
Cajun, rhythm and blues, ma-
riachi, Western swing, zydeco
and more. Even polka. Yes, in
Nashville, the city famed for
fiddles and fringe.
Performances will celebrate
the cultures of Native Ameri-
can, Celtic, Acadian, Middle
Eastern, Caribbean, East
Asian, Appalachian, Hispanic,
Eastern European, African and
Pacific Island.
Organizers also promise “a
delicious variety of ethnic and
regional food specialties.”
If Southern food is more ap-
pealing, Nashville has plenty
of fried chicken, country ham,
pork barbecue, collard greens,
red-eye gravy, grits and fried
green tomatoes. Wash it down
with sweet tea.
Gov. Bill Haslam, in an-
nouncing the folk festival, said
it “preserves and celebrates
the roots and variety of Amer-
ican culture we have here in
our state.”
The festival will take place a
few blocks away from the
Country Music Hall of Fame
and Museum (a city shrine)
and a dozen or so raucous hon-
ky-tonks where hot guitars
compete with cold beer for
popularity.
If visitors want a taste of
American culture, there’s a
Hard Rock Cafe on the down-
town waterfront. And a Hoo-
ters.
The festival has been pro-
duced since 1934 by the Na-
tional Council for the Tradi-
tional Arts. With such a long
run, the festival has transcend-
ed country music, Big Band,
rock-’n’-roll, disco and rap.
A sampling of scheduled
acts this year: La Excelencia,
doing salsa; Samba Mapangala
& Orchestre Virunga, doing
East African rumba and sou-
kous; the Massive Monkeys,
doing breakdance; Lloyd Ar-
neach, a Cherokee storyteller.
Nashville, which already has
11 million tourists a year, beat
out more than 40 other cities
to host the event for the next
three years. The festival is pro-
jected to pump $10 million in-
to the local economy each
year.
The festival will follow in
the impressive cowboy boot-
steps of a myriad of recent mu-
sical treats.
The four-day CMA Festival
in June at the Tennessee Ti-
tans’ LP Field had daily attend-
ance of 65,000 exuberant fans
to see an array of country per-
formers including Taylor
Swift, Lady Antebellum, Brad
Paisley, Keith Urban and Reba
McEntire. That event left ap-
proximately $30 million in di-
rect visitor spending in the
city.

Advertising Projects Writer
An elegant layout offering plenty
of room to entertain is just one of
the many highlights of this spacious
home in South Wilkes-Barre. Offering
3,400 square feet of space, this 1925
built beauty is in need of some tender
loving care, yet offers tremendous
potential, thanks to amazing windows,
multiple sets of French doors and two
rear-facing sunrooms.
Listed by Ainslie DeYoung of Jane
Kopp Real Estate for $125,000, the
property includes a private driveway
and detached one-car garage. See all
this unique property has to offer at an
Open House, today from 2-4 p.m.
The exterior features tan brick
punctuated by blue shutters and the
front offers your first look at some of
the home’s beautiful rounded win-
dows.
The front door leads into an entry
hall with a second door that takes you
into the home’s foyer. The tan carpet-
ing and crown molding found here
continues to the 16-by-22 living room.
Here all eyes are on a tan brick fire-
place with carved wooden mantle and
brass trim. The living room has two
elongated windows facing front and
two sets of French doors to the side
that take you into a 9-by-17 sunroom.
Sure to be a favorite retreat, this stun-
ning room has fours sets of arched
windows and doors that open to the
yard and driveway. The décor includes
blue carpeting and white walls with
stenciled flowers.
Adjacent to the living room is the
equally impressive 15-by-17 dining
room. Also featuring tan carpeting and
off-white walls, this room has a brass
chandelier and a picture window that
faces the side. This room has its own
set of French doors that open to a sun
porch that overlooks the rear yard.
This room has two walls of screened
windows.
To the right off the dining room you
find the 14-by-21 kitchen that offers
both a spacious cooking area and a
breakfast nook set against windows
to the rear. This semi-modern kitchen
has white Formica countertops over
wooden cabinets. There is a wall of
built-ins including shelves flanked by
two pantry cabinets. The breakfast
area also offers a door to the rear
yard. Appliances include a stove,
refrigerator and dishwasher.
Potential abounds in spacious South Wilkes-Barre home
