JENKINS TWP. — A Jenkins Township
man makes crosses and sends them world-
wide — for free.
Well, he does “charge” the Holy Spirit a
blessing for all he serves.
Billy Emmanuel, 68, blind in one eye
and an amputee, toils for long hours in his
garage/workshop to craft crosses that he has
sent to places like the Vatican, in churches in
New York City and to Newtown, Conn.
Emmanuel mixes holy water and oil that he
has gathered from various places around the
world — Lourdes, Fatima, the River Jordan,
Loch Ireland, India and others — into the
stain he uses for every cross.
He said he sends the crosses to people
“who need something to hold onto,” like the
families of victims of tragedies like the 9/11
terrorist attacks and the shootings at Sandy
Hook Elementary School in Newtown last
December.
“Faith is the greatest part of recovery,” he
said. “Without faith, we’re lost.”
Emmanuel started making the crosses in
1988 shortly after his mother passed away.

EXETER — First time homeowner
Matt Stuka planned to turn a single-fami-
ly house into a rental unit with two apart-
ments.
Easy enough, the 29-year-old thought,
until he hired a contractor to remodel the
house built in the early 1930s on Harland
Street.
Stuka hired George Poplawski as the
contractor to completely renovate the
house turning the ﬁrst and second ﬂoors
into separate apartments. A hand-written
contract Poplawski drafted was signed
Feb. 27, 2012.
Nearly 16 months after the agreement,
the house at 231 Harland St. remains
empty of tenants due to unﬁnished con-
struction and broken promises.
Poplawski, 41, last known address as
Carey Street in Plains Township, was
charged by Exeter police with theft and
deceptive business practices. After being
arraigned May 18, Poplawski spent two
days at the Luzerne County Correctional
Facility before he was released after post-
ing $25,000 bail.
Attempts to reach Poplawski for com-
ment were unsuccessful last week.
Stuka is not alone.
Other homeowners in the area have
been victimized by contractors, accord-
ing to court records.
A Swoyersville woman hired Lemire
Brown, owner of Brown and Brown Home
Improvement, to replace the roof on her
Noyes Avenue house that was damaged by

WILKES-BARRE – A data-
base run by the Luzerne County
District Attorney’s Ofﬁce that
has been instrumental in hun-
dreds of arrests will now be
extended into Lackawanna
County.
The Precious Metals and
Second Hand Goods Database,
which operates in Luzerne and
Carbon counties, began opera-
tion in Lackawanna County last
week.
Monroe County will jump on
board soon, District Attorney
Stefanie Salavantis said.
The database keeps track of
precious metals and second-hand
items, such as cameras or tools,
sold in local pawn shops.
If that item is reported stolen,
police departments and the dis-
trict attorney’s ofﬁce can access
the database to see who sold the
item, which typically leads to an
arrest.
Database led to arrest
Including an arrest in Hazleton
city on July 1 where police
charged 19-year-old city resident
Joseph Genetti with receiving
stolen property after pawning
jewelry removed from a city resi-
dence.
Police said the jewelry was
identiﬁed through the database
after the items were pawned at
John’s Pawn Shop on Alter Street
LAC-MEGANTIC, Quebec — A train carrying
crude oil derailed Saturday in eastern Quebec, spark-
ing several explosions and a blaze that destroyed the
center of the town of Lac-Megantic and killed at
least one person. An unspeciﬁed number of people
were reported missing.
Witnesses said the eruptions sent local residents
scrambling through the streets under the intense
heat of towering ﬁreballs and a red glow that illumi-
nated the night sky.
Quebec provincial police Lt. Michel Brunet con-
ﬁrmed that one person had died. He refused to say
how many others might be dead, but said authorities
have been told “many” people have been reported
missing.
Up to 1,000 people were forced from their homes
in the middle of the night in the town, which is about
155 miles (250 kilometers) east of Montreal and
about 10 miles (16 kilometers) west of the Maine
border.
The derailment caused several tanker rail cars to
explode in the downtown core, a popular area known
for its bars that is often bustling on summer weekend
nights. Police said the ﬁrst explosion tore through
the town shortly after 1 a.m.
The ﬁre spread to a number of homes in the lake-
side town of 6,000 people, and witnesses said the
ﬂames shot up highter than the steeple on a nearby
church.
Flames and billowing black smoke could be seen
more than 12 hours after the derailment, which
involved a 73-car train.
“When you see the center of your town almost
destroyed, you’ll understand that we’re asking our-
selves how we are going to get through this event,”
an emotional Mayor Colette Roy-Laroche told a tele-
vised news brieﬁng.
The cause of the derailment was not immediately
known.
Dozens of residents gathered hours after the
explosion at the edge of a wide security perimeter
and many feared the worst. About a kilometer (0.6
miles) down the town’s main street, ﬂames danced
around a railway tanker that sat at the edge of the
road.
“On a beautiful evening like this with the bar, there
were a lot of people there,” said Bernard Demers,

WASHINGTON — When the
Supreme Court struck down
part of an anti-gay marriage law,
Justice Anthony Kennedy took
pains in his majority opinion to
say the ruling applied only to
legally married same-sex cou-
ples seeking beneﬁts from the
federal government.
But judges and lawyers rep-
resenting same-sex couples are
already using Kennedy’s lan-
guage and reasoning in other
cases about the right to marry.
It’s a predictable next step in
a long-term, incremental legal
strategy that is being used at
both the state and federal lev-
els, and in state legislatures and
executive mansions as well as
the courts, to build public and
ofﬁcial acceptance of gay mar-
riage. Much the same approach
was used decades ago by civil
rights lawyers ﬁghting state-
sanctioned discrimination; one
decision becomes a stepping-
stone to the next.
In the fght over gay marriage,
Kennedy’s words also fgured in
an earlier example. He insisted
in June 2003 that his opinion
overturning state sodomy laws
had nothing to do with govern-
ments’ recognition of same-sex
marriage. Five months later, lan-
guage from his opinion showed
up in the second paragraph of
a state court ruling that made
Massachusetts the frst state to
allow gay and lesbian couples to
marry.
In the June 26 decision in U.S.
v. Windsor, Kennedy said the
provision denying federal ben-
eﬁts to legally married same-sex
couples relegates those marriag-
es to second-class status, and
“it humiliates tens of thousands
of children now being raised by
same-sex couples.”
He framed his argument with
reference to states’ “historic
and essential authority to deﬁne
the marital relation.”
But it doesn’t take too much
creativity to reframe his opin-
ion to challenge state bans on
same-sex marriage, said Jon
Davidson, legal director of the
gay rights group Lambda Legal.
“It’s stigmatizing and it’s
harmful to people and particu-
larly harmful to children when
their parents’ relationship is
treated as inferior by the govern-
ment. Those points are points
we will be making in all of our
marriage cases,” Davidson said.
Davidson’s group is rely-
ing on the invalidation of the
Defense of Marriage Act provi-
sion in a state lawsuit to force
New Jersey to allow same-sex
couples to wed. In that case, the
new argument is that the New
Jersey Constitution does not
allow the state to essentially
keep same-sex couples from
receiving federal beneﬁts by
prohibiting them from marry-
ing.
Like the Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial Court, other
state court rulings in favor of
gay marriage have relied on
provisions of their state consti-
tutions. That has not happened
by accident. The litigation plan
had been to pursue marriage
in liberal states, based on state
constitutions, and generally
avoid federal courts where judg-
es appointed by conservative
Republican presidents had, until
recently, been in the majority.
Federal courts in California
are so far the only ones that
have said that a state same-sex
marriage ban violates the U.S.
Constitution. The Supreme
Court did not decide that issue
one way or the other in its gay
marriage rulings, and instead
relied on a technical legal argu-
ment to resolve the California
case and clear the way for same-
sex marriage in the state, which
resumed at the end of June.
Same-sex marriage is legal,
or soon will be, in 13 states and
the District of Columbia, rep-
resenting about 30 percent of
the U.S. population. The states
are: California, Connecticut,
Delaware, Iowa, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, New Hampshire,
New York, Rhode Island,
Vermont and Washington.
But now federal challenges
are popping up as well, in
Nevada, Hawaii and Michigan,
among other states.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in San Francisco, which
struck down the California pro-
hibition on same-sex marriage,
will consider the Hawaii and
Nevada bans together, but that
case is in its early stages.
In Michigan, a federal judge
prominently cited the Windsor
decision in allowing a challenge
to the state’s marriage ban and
its prohibition on same-sex cou-
ples jointly adopting children to
go forward.
U.S. District Judge Bernard
Friedman, appointed by
President Ronald Reagan, quot-
ed Kennedy in concluding that
“plaintiffs are entitled to their
day in court and they shall have
it.”
A separate case in Michigan
also “might cast a large shadow
over a state law limiting mar-
riage to opposite-sex couples,”
Georgetown University law pro-
fessor Marty Lederman wrote
on scotusblog.com.
In that dispute, public employ-
ees are challenging a Michigan
law that cuts off domestic part-
ner beneﬁts for unmarried cou-
ples.
U.S. District Judge David
Lawson, appointed by President
Bill Clinton, partly relied on the
recent Supreme Court case in
saying, “It is hard to argue with
a straight face that the primary
purpose, indeed, perhaps the
sole purpose, of the statute is
other than to deny health ben-
eﬁts to the same-sex partners
of public employees. But that
can never be a legitimate gov-
ernmental purpose.” Lawson
blocked the law for now, pend-
ing a trial.
When civil rights lawyers
began their decadeslong quest
to end ofﬁcial discrimination
against black Americans, they
pursued cases in state and feder-
al courts that typically stopped
short of the ultimate goal of
overturning the Supreme Court
decree in Plessy v. Ferguson in
1896 that “separate but equal”
treatment of the races was per-
mitted by the Constitution.
In a series of cases, the court
chipped away at discrimination
in higher education, including
its 1950 decision in Sweatt v.
Painter that said the University
of Texas had to admit a black
student to its law school
because the one it created for
black students did not offer an
equivalent education. But even
in June 1950, the court refused
to re-examine the Plessy case.
Four more years elapsed
before the court issued its semi-
nal ruling in Brown v. Board of
Education outlawing discrimi-
nation in public schools.
The prominent odd-cou-
ple lawyers who brought the
California case to the Supreme
Court, Republican Theodore
Olson and Democrat David
Boies, hoped the court would
in one fell swoop get rid of 30
state constitutional bans on gay
marriage and a few state stat-
utes and declare that the right
to marry cannot be abridged on
the basis of sexual orientation
and gender.
They failed to win that big
victory, although their clients
got married two days after the
court decision.
For a time, Olson and Boies
were at odds with many gay
rights advocates who feared
that asking the court to rule too
broadly too soon could backﬁre.
It turned out that the California
case helped focus attention on
gay marriage and perhaps sped
up the shift in public opinion
that now shows a majority in
favor of same-sex marriage in
most polls.
The different approaches have
sometimes coexisted uneas-
ily. That, too, is reminiscent of
the civil rights movement, said
Harvard Law School professor
Mark Tushnet, who has written
about the legal strategy of civil
rights lawyers. “There were
lawsuits that the NAACP didn’t
want because they were seen
as sure losers, but local lawyers
went ahead and brought them
anyway. They weren’t part of
the plan,” Tushnet said.
Ten years ago, 13 states still
had laws against sodomy when
the court said that states have
no right to intrude on the pri-
vate, personal conduct of peo-
ple, regardless of sexual orienta-
tion.
Interracial marriage still
was illegal in 16 states in 1967
before the high court outlawed
race-based state marriage bans.
In 1954, when the court
issued its landmark Brown deci-
sion, 17 states had formally seg-
regated school systems.
No one is sure what the magic
number needs to be for the
court to set a nationwide rule.
Tushnet predicts that when
roughly 40 states allow same-
sex marriage, “it is going to
seem all right to tell Mississippi
that it has to recognize gay mar-
riage.”
Justice Antonin Scalia, a dis-
senter in 2003 and again this
year, saw the seeds of same-sex
marriage in the court’s 2003
decision and he saw them again
in the Windsor case, despite
Kennedy’s insistence that the
opinion was limited.
“How easy it is, indeed how
inevitable, to reach the same
conclusion with regard to state
laws denying same-sex couples
marital status,” Scalia said.
Gay marriage ruling already in use in other cases
NEW YORK — One makes a video
with Steve Buscemi and rockers Vampire
Weekend. Another gets shout-outs from
Whoopi Goldberg and Brooke Shields. A
third hobnobs over cocktails with an actor
from “The Sopranos.”
No, it’s not an awards show weekend. It’s
the New York City mayor’s race, featuring a
cast of celebrities like few other municipal
elections.
Last weekend, Democratic mayoral con-
tender Christine Quinn unfurled a star-
dusted list of pro-gay-rights backers of her
bid to become the city’s ﬁrst female and
ﬁrst openly gay mayor. Among them: singer
Lance Bass, actor Neil Patrick Harris, direc-
tor Rob Reiner and “Project Runway” style
czar Tim Gunn, who said Quinn would
“make the position of mayor the bully pulpit
it needs to be to ﬁght for all New Yorkers. “
Ten days earlier, Alec Baldwin announced
that he’d rafﬂe off two dinner invites to any-
amount donors to Democratic candidate
Bill de Blasio.
“There are few things I enjoy more than a
good meal with good company, particularly
when an issue as urgent as the New York
City mayoral election is up for discussion,”
the “30 Rock” actor told de Blasio support-
ers in an email, saying the candidate “under-
stands the inequality crisis facing our city.”
And in May, a fundraiser for Republican
hopeful Joe Lhota spotlighted as “special
guest” Steve Schirripa, best known as
gentle-spirited goodfella Bobby “Bacala”
Baccalieri on “The Sopranos.”
With the super-competitive campaign to
lead the nation’s biggest city in high gear
since spring, the day-to-day menu of candi-
date forums, policy speeches and endorse-
ments from political ﬁgures and interest
groups has increasingly been sprinkled
with a healthy dash of glitz.
One day, it’s a video from hip-hop impre-
sario Russell Simmons praising de Blasio,
now the city public advocate. Another
day, it’s Goldberg posting on her Facebook
page to cheerlead for City Council Speaker
Quinn, who also counts Shields as a backer.
Or salsa star Willie Colon tweeting a link
to a song he wrote lauding Democratic con-
tender Bill Thompson, a former city comp-
troller.
Indeed, the race can sometimes seem like
something of a ballot-box version of “Battle
of the Network Stars.” De Blasio’s “LGBT
for BdB” gala is headlined by Sarah Jessica
Parker and Cynthia Nixon of “Sex and
the City” fame and Tony Award-winning
actor Alan Cumming? Well, here comes
the “LGBT for Quinn” team, with actor-
playwright Harvey Fierstein and actors
Cheyenne Jackson and George Takei, along
with Bass, Harris, Reiner and Gunn.
Republican candidate George McDonald,
meanwhile, has links to actor Ethan Hawke,
a longtime supporter of the Doe Fund, the
homelessness-services nonproft McDonald
runs. GOP rival John Catsimatidis has
been cultivating a theatrical tie of his
own — the billionaire businessman has
been underwriting performances of “The
Little Flower,” actor Tony Lo Bianco’s one-
man show about former New York Mayor
Fiorello La Guardia.
Entertainers, athletes and other pop cul-
ture icons have lent star power to national
politics since at least 1920, when singer and
comedian Al Jolson wrote a campaign song
for Republican nominee Warren Harding
and ushered dozens of theater performers
to a rally at Harding’s Ohio home. Later,
show business would pave the path for sev-
eral stars to win ofﬁce themselves, most
prominently President Ronald Reagan.
And celebrities’ politics can be local, too,
particularly in such fame havens as New
York and Los Angeles, where the recent
mayoral contest drew in Salma Hayek,
Moby, Jimmy Kimmel and Magic Johnson,
among other buzzerati.
In places where voter rolls are stuffed
with boldface names, candidates can almost
feel pressed to get celebs on their side, says
former New York mayoral candidate Tom
Allon, a newspaper publisher who dropped
his campaign in March. He doesn’t think
stars’ political opinions carry much weight
with New Yorkers, but if he’d kept running
and could tap some famous endorsers, “I’m
sure I would have tried,” he said.
While celebrities’ imprimatur may not
sway voters, stars can help campaigns more
indirectly, political observers say.
“The crude notion that celebrities are
persuasive, most of the time, for how peo-
ple vote is just wrong. But I think celebrities
are very important in certain situations:
fundraising, attracting crowds and interest
where it otherwise might not exist,” says
North Carolina State University political
science professor Michael Cobb, who has
researched whether celebrity endorsements
affect voters.
A star might get more people to a rally or
fundraiser, generate press coverage or write
checks and round up wealthy friends to
do likewise. (Several celebrities are bring-
ing their pocketbooks to bear on the New
York mayoral campaign, including Quinn
donors Tom Hanks and Jon Bon Jovi and
de Blasio contributors Paul Simon and John
Turturro.)
And a celebrated backer can contribute to
voters’ view of a candidate, especially if the
star’s known for political activism.

Newface in familiar space on Harveys Lake
Jerry Lynott
[email protected]
HARVEYS LAKE — The guy busing
tables at the Boathouse Bar & Grill just
might be Joe Amato, one of the owners.
Since it opened in the former
Dominic’s location at the intersection of
Carpenter Road and Lakeside Drive, he
and his co-owners have been helping out
where needed.
Whether its righting an overturned
ﬂower pot near the entrance or turn-
ing on the lights in the stairwell leading
to the second-ﬂoor bar, the 69-year-old
businessman and former drag racing
champion has been hands-on early on.
“I’m learning something new,” Amato
said during a recent busy Sunday after-
noon.
The tables at the tiki bar overlook-
ing Lakeside Drive were ﬁlled. Inside, a
50th birthday party was underway in a
private dining area. Downst ai rs
the restaurant was getting ready for its
4 p.m. opening. The Boathouse is open
daily except Monday.
A few bumps have been smoothed
over during the ﬁrst week.“The impor-
tant thing is you take care of people,”
Amato said.
He has other business ventures
such as the Gateway Shopping Center
in Edwardsville and the City Centre
in downtown Wilkes-Barre, but the
Boathouse is a ﬁrst for him. He and his
companion, Andrea Donten, joined with
restaurateurs Mike and Andy Partash to
put a new face on a familiar place.
“We love Harveys Lake, all of us,”
Amato said.
He and the Partash brothers own boat-
houses nearby, and he’s been coming to
the lake for more than 20 years. He’s
been at the Dominic’s and its predeces-
sor Damien’s on the Lake.
When the property became available,
they bought it last year. It’s a great loca-
tion and venue, he said, adding, “It ﬁts
the lake.”
He’s relied on the Partash brothers
who own Brews Brothers in Jenkins
Township and several other bars and
restaurants for their expertise. They’ve
invested about $750,000 in equipment
and improvements in the building. The
ground-ﬂoor restaurant and bar seats
about 100 people and offers a dinner
menu including steaks, lobster and
chicken. The second-ﬂoor also has a
bar and indoor and outdoor seating.
Combined there’s room for up to 300
people.
There’s room for a new restaurant
too. Grotto Pizza and Jones’ Potato
Pancakes are nearby.
“The other places around, that’s a
good thing,” Amato said. “Everybody’s
happy we’re here.”
Co-owner Joe Amato stands on the patio of the recently opened Boathouse Bar & Grill on
Lakeside Drive at Harveys Lake.

Getting
smart about
parking in
Scranton
Jerry Lynott
[email protected]
Scranton has been a quick
study on using the Pango smart-
phone app for metered parking in
the downtown, according to the
head of the company providing
the service.
During the ﬁrst four weeks
since the no-fee, pay-by-phone
app was launched in the city, it’s
been used 2,750 times, said Dani
Shavit, chief executive ofﬁcer of
Pango Shyyny USA of Baltimore.
In comparison, the more popu-
lous Chattanooga, Tenn., record-
ed just 323 transactions over a
similar time frame.
The ﬁrst month is important
because it indicates how the ser-
vice is accepted, Shavit said.
“We got a very deﬁnite answer
that the Scranton parkers are
ready and willing to be smart
parkers,” he added.
Shavit gave a breakdown of the
customers’ usage: approximately
25 percent used the service more
than twice a week; another 25
percent more than two times a
month; and 50 percent more than
once a month.
The mobile payment park-
ing service is available in near-
ly 50 cities around the world.
Shavit would like to promote its
success in Scranton, the only
Northeastern Pennsylvania city
to have it, to attract business
elsewhere.
The service provides real-
time, online reporting so parking
enforcement can verify payment
has been made for a meter.
The service does not cost the
city any money. Pango receives
a share of the assessed fees from
the more than 800 app-enabled
meters. Shavit said he would
like to see all of the city’s meters
equipped for smart parking.
People can register on the com-
pany’s web site, www.mypango.
com, or download the app from
the App Store. They also can
register by calling toll-free 1-877-
697-2646.
The company charges $1.99 a
month for the reminder service
that sends a notice 15 minutes
before the meter runs out. Pango
users can extend the parking ses-
sion without having to go back to
the meter.
To date, 650 people who use
the Scranton meters have signed
up for the payment system. As an
incentive to join, customers who
register before the end of this
month will receive 10 hours of
free parking worth $10.
Merchants can also beneﬁt,
and 10 of them are participating
in a free mobile advertising pro-
gram that provides store coupons
to parkers, Shavit said. There’s
an incentive for them, too. Every
merchant that joins before the
end of September will get one
year of participation for free.

HARRISBURG
Gov. Corbett gets
aggressive
Republican Gov. Tom Corbett is start-
ing to wade into a re-election campaign
after the collapse of three major agenda
items in the state Legislature.
His campaign aides say they plan to be
aggressive in telling his story and pointing
out contrasts with the Democrats seeking
their party’s nomination to oppose him in
November 2014.
Observers say Corbett will be able to
raise campaign money and he’ll have the
status of being the incumbent. But polls
show weak public support for the ﬁrst-
termRepublican.
Corbett has a record of opposing new
taxes and handling dwindling revenues
fromthe economic downturn.
But opponents say he’s shown weak
leadership, citing the failure of his liquor
privatization, transportationinfrastructure
and public pension overhaul initiatives.

The former Hottle’s
Restaurant on South Main
Street in Wilkes-Barre is
among more than 350 prop-
erties slated for Luzerne
County’s Aug. 22 free-and-
clear, back-tax auction, county
records show.
The popular dining estab-
lishment closed in the fall of
2010 after 73 years in busi-
ness.
Property owners William
and Lynn Kravits, who took
over the eatery in 1994, owe
$26,717 in property taxes
from 2010 through 2012,
county records show. The
couple could not be reached
for comment.
Properties are eligible for
auction if real estate taxes are
unpaid for two years.
The August sale is for prop-
erties that weren’t snatched
up in a ﬁrst-stage September
auction, when liens were still
attached.
Free-and-clear auctions
typically draw large crowds
of bidders because back taxes,
mortgages and other liens
tied to the properties are for-
given. Most properties will be
listed at starting bids under
$1,000 to recoup only the tax
claim ofﬁce costs to bring the
parcels to auction.
Among the other proper-
ties scheduled for the August
auction, according to county
records:
• The Four Seasons Golf
Club in Exeter owned by
Amita and Ragesh Patel,
which has $194,600 in taxes
owed on two parcels from
2010 through 2012.
• Keystone Garden Estates,
an assisted-living facility in
Larksville, with a back-tax
debt of $367,919 dating back
to 2007.
• The former Coal Crackers
bar and restaurant on Alter
Street in Hazleton. Owner
Carol Sheman owes $12,881
in taxes from 2010 to the pres-
ent.
• Six properties owned by
Hazle Township business-
man James Lagana, including
his 6,600-square-foot man-
sion on Butler Terrace Drive
in the township, which is
assessed at $675,000. Lagana
owes $38,000 in taxes on the
residence from 2010 through
2012.
• A 2,700-square-foot resi-
dential property on Wyoming
Road in Dallas Township
assessed at $481,900. Frank
M. Henry Jr. owns the 10.3-
acre property and owes
$31,942 in taxes from 2010 to
the present.
Property owners may get
properties removed from the
auction if they pay the back
taxes before the sale, ﬁle for
bankruptcy or convince a
judge that the property should
be pulled.
A representative of
Keystone Garden Estates said
that property will be removed
from the sale because taxes
will be paid through a pending
reﬁnancing.
Northeast Revenue Service
LLC, the county’s tax-claim
operator, oversees back-tax
auctions. A list of available
parcels and information on
bidding will be posted in the
near future at www.luzerne-
countytaxclaim.com.

On tour, Giffords’ actions speak on gun control
Steve Peoples
Associated Press
DOVER, N.H. — Thirty
months after she was shot
through the head, former
Arizona Congresswoman
Gabrielle Giffords sits in a
New Hampshire restaurant
facing parents of children
killed in the nation’s latest
school shooting.
They are here to talk
political strategy, but
Giffords doesn’t say much.
She doesn’t have to.
The 43-year-old
Democrat has become the
face of the ﬁght for gun con-
trol —a woman nowknown
as much for her actions as
her words as she recovers
from a 2011 attack that for-
ever changed her life and
ended six others. Giffords
has already traveled more
than 8,000 miles this week,
her husband, retired astro-
naut Mark Kelly, at her side,
encouraging political lead-
ers from Alaska to Maine to
have the courage to defy the
National Riﬂe Association.
“I don’t think any of us
thought this was going to
be easy,” Kelly tells three
parents of children killed in
the Newton, Conn., school
shootings, with Giffords
next to him, nodding her
agreement. “This is not
going to be a quick ﬁx. But
we’re trying.”
The couple is nearing the
end of a seven-state-in-sev-
en-day tour across America,
meeting with allies and
opponents alike to generate
momentum for federal leg-
islation that would expand
background checks on gun
purchases. It’s a scaled-back
version of a broad legisla-
tive package to ban assault
weapons and high-capacity
magazines proposed in the
aftermath of the Newtown
shooting rampage that left
20 children dead. But even
scaled back, the measure
was defeated in the Senate
in April and has stalled in
a divided Congress now
preparing for its summer
recess.
AsGiffords’ tourstretched
into Maine on Saturday,
the couple shared a private
lunch with former President
George H.W. Bush and his
wife, Barbara, at their estate
in Kennebunkport, Maine.
It’s unclear if Giffords and
Kelly discussed gun control
with the Bushes, who are
personal acquaintances.
Giffords’ cross-country
trek is the centerpiece of
a summertime campaign
designed to pressure elected
ofﬁcials in their own back-
yards. At the same time,
her recently formed super
PAC and related nonproﬁt
group have ambitious plans
to expand their political
clout through the 2014 mid-
term elections and beyond.
Organizers say that the
group, known as Americans
for Responsible Solutions,
is expected to raise at least
$20 million to fuel paid
television ads and political
activities to coincide with
the next election, the next
gun control vote or both.
So far, New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg
has bankrolled much of the
campaign to expand back-
ground checks through his
own organization, Mayors
Against Illegal Guns, pour-
ing more than $12 million
into advertising designed
to pressure lawmakers in
places like New Hampshire,
Arizona and Arkansas.
But this week, Giffords
and Kelly are playing a more
personal role. They are eat-
ing pie, sharing hugs and
having frank conversations
to connect with voters in
traditional gun-owning
states whose leaders have
been largely reluctant to
support expanded back-
ground checks in the face of
NRA opposition.
And they are shooting
guns to help make their
point.
Kelly, a former Navy
pilot whose parents were
police ofﬁcers, purchased
a new riﬂe — he said it
was his sixth or seventh
gun — at the Village Gun
Shop in New Hampshire’s
north country on Friday.
He waited less than ﬁve
minutes for a background
check and later tested his
Savage .30-06 bolt-action
riﬂe at a nearby shooting
range. Giffords joined him
at a Nevada shooting range
earlier in the week, ﬁring a
gun for the ﬁrst time since
a mentally ill man took
aim at her and opened ﬁre
in a Tucson, Ariz., shop-
ping center as she met
with constituents. Jared
Lee Loughner, 24, was
sentenced in November
to seven consecutive life
sentences, plus 140 years,
after he pleaded guilty to
19 federal charges in the
case.
It’s an attack that Kelly
refers to often, using phras-
es like, “what happened to
Gabby” and “when my wife
was shot.” The couple is
traveling with a handful of
guns packed in a suitcase
— all for personal use on
their trip.
Sandy Holz, the shop’s
owner in Whiteﬁeld, N.H.,
says she’s reluctant to
endorse broad gun con-
trol legislation but would
support a bill to requir-
ing background checks for
sales at gun shows and on
the Internet, as the failed
Senate bill would have
done.
A Washington Post-ABC
News poll in mid-May
found that 67 percent of
Americans felt the Senate
wrongly rejected the back-
ground check bill.
A Pew Research Center
poll conducted in early May
found 81 percent favor mak-
ing private gun sales and
sales at gun shows subject
to background checks, sup-
port that transcends party
lines. Another 73 percent of
respondents said that if the
background check bill were
brought up for another vote,
Congress should pass it.
But there is little sign of
movement in Washington.
Despite Giffords’ and
Bloomberg’s continued
lobbying, none of the bill’s
proponents report winning
a single new vote since the
measure’s April defeat. If
anything, their task may
have grown more difﬁcult
since the death last month
of Sen. Frank Lautenberg,
D-N.J., who supported
the checks. He has been
replaced by Republican Sen.
Jeff Chiesa, whose view on
the subject is unclear.
Giffords and Kelly say
they will not give up despite
obvious health issues.
More than two years
after the attack, Giffords
travels with nurses and a
speech therapist, a rarely
used wheelchair in tow. Her
right leg and arm are par-
tially paralyzed. She walks
on her own, her right leg
dragging slightly, and she
climbs stairs, often with
Kelly or a staff member
holding her left hand.
The brain injury has also
affected her ability to speak.
Giffords offers enthusi-
astic, but slightly slurred
stump speeches on the tour,
in a halting style that some-
times brings tears to the
eyes of her audience — and
her staff.
“We must never stop
ﬁghting. Fight. Fight. Fight.
Be bold, be courageous,
the nation is counting on
you,” she said at a Portland,
Maine press conference.
The entire speech, just 62
words, lasted less than two
minutes.
The cross-country tour
is run with the efﬁciency
and detail of a presidential
campaign, with schedules
planned down to the min-
ute. Surrounded by a hand-
ful of young staffers and
her service dog, Nelson,
Giffords and Kelly use pri-
vate planes and at times
helicopters, visiting venues
usually frequented by politi-
cians.
Zimmerman jury to ponder conficting testimony
Prosecution rested its case
Friday, same day judge denied
request for acquittal.
AP PHOTO
Trayvon Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, takes the stand during George
Zimmerman’s trial in Seminole County circuit court, on Friday in Sanford, Fla.
By KYLE HIGHTOWER and
MIKE SCHNEIDER
The Associated Press
SANFORD, Fla. — Jurors in
the G
eorge Zimmerman trial are
heading into their weekend
with a lot of courtroom drama
and conﬂicting testimony to
digest.
Friday’s action-packed ses-
sion saw the prosecution rest
its case, and the judge reject
a defense request to acquit
Zimmerman of second-degree
murder in the fatal shooting of
17-year-old Trayvon Martin last
year.
The mothers of both Martin
and Zimmerman listened to the
same 911 recording of someone
screaming for help, and each
said she was convinced the
voice was that of her own son.
The question of whose voice
is on the recording could be cru-
cial to the jury in deciding who
was the aggressor in the con-
frontation between the neigh-
borhood watch volunteer and
the teenager.
“I heard my son scream-
ing,” Martin’s mother, Sybrina
Fulton, said ﬁrmly after she was
played a recording in which dis-
tant, high-pitched wails could
be heard in the background as
a Zimmerman neighbor asked
a dispatcher to send police.
Moments later on the call, there
was a gunshot and the crying
stopped.
Gladys Zimmerman, though,
testiﬁed she recognized the
voice all too well: “My son.”
Asked how she could be certain,
she said: “Because it’s my son.”
Martin’s half brother, 22-year-
old Jahvaris Fulton, testiﬁed
that the cries came from the
teen. And Zimmerman’s uncle,
Jose Meza, said he knew it was
Zimmerman’s voice from “the
moment I heard it. … I thought,
that is George.”
After Friday’s session was
over, defense attorney Mark
O’Mara told reporters “there
will be a lot of other witnesses”
who will testify that the voice on
the call is George Zimmerman’s.
“But we’ll just present the
case,” he said. “We’re just get-
ting started.”
Gladys Zimmerman was the
defense’s ﬁrst witness. O’Mara
said he expects to call “sev-
eral” of the state’s 38 witnesses
back as well when trial resumes
Monday, and he left open the
possibility that he would try to
introduce toxicology evidence
showing Martin had marijuana
in his system at the time he
died. Judge Debra Nelson has
denied the admission of that
evidence for the time being.
O’Mara may also call wit-
nesses who he says have stated
that Zimmerman was not a rac-
ist. Part of the prosecution’s
theory is that Zimmerman
proﬁled Martin as one of the
young black men he’d called law
enforcement about as being pos-
sible suspects
in burglaries in his townhome
community weeks prior to the
shooting.
O’Mara said he could rest his
case as soon as next week.
Immediately after the state
rested Friday, he asked Nelson
to acquit Zimmerman, arguing
that the prosecution had failed
to prove its case.
O’Mara said an “enormous”
amount of evidence showed
that Zimmerman acted in self-
defense, and he argued that
Zimmerman had reasonable
grounds to believe he was in
danger, and acted without the
“ill will, hatred and spite” nec-
essary to prove second-degree
murder.
But prosecutor Richard
Mantei countered: “There are
two people involved here. One
of them is dead, and one of
them is a liar.”
Mantei told the judge that
Zimmerman had changed his
story, that his account of how
he shot Martin was “a physical
impossibility,” and that he exag-
gerated his wounds.
After listening to an hour and
a half of arguments from both
sides, Nelson refused to throw
out the murder charge, saying
the prosecution had presented
sufﬁcient evidence for the case
to go on.
Earlier in the day, Sybrina
Fulton introduced herself to
the jury by describing herself as
having two sons, one of whom
“is in heaven.” She sat expres-
sionless on the witness stand
while prosecutors played the
911 recording.
“Who do you recognize that
to be?” prosecutor Bernie de la
Rionda asked her.
“Trayvon Benjamin Martin,”
she replied.
During cross-examination,
O’Mara suggested — haltingly,
in apparent recognition of the
sensitivity of the questioning —
that Fulton may have been inﬂu-
enced by others who listened to
the 911 call, including relatives
and her former husband.
POTISKUM, Nigeria —
Islamic militants attacked a
boarding school before dawn
Saturday, dousing a dormito-
ry in fuel and lighting it ablaze
as students slept, survivors
said. At least 30 people were
killed in the deadliest attack
yet on schools in Nigeria’s
embattled northeast.
Authorities blamed the
violence on Boko Haram, a
radical group whose name
means “Western education
is sacrilege.” The militants
have been behind a series of
recent attacks on schools in
the region, including one in
which gunmen opened ﬁre
on children taking exams in a
classroom.
“We were sleeping when we
heard gunshots. When I woke
up, someone was pointing a
gun at me,” Musa Hassan, 15,
told The Associated Press of
the assault on Government
Secondary School in Mamudo
village in Yobe state.
He put his arm up in
defense, and sustained a gun-
shot that blew off all four ﬁn-
gers on his right hand, the one
he uses to write. His life was
spared when the militants
moved on after shooting him.
Hassan recalled how the
gunmen came armed with
jerry cans of fuel that they
used to torch the school’s
administrative block and one
of the dormitories.
“They burned the children
alive,” he said, the horror
showing in his wide eyes.
He and teachers at the
morgue said dozens of chil-
dren from the 1,200-student
school escaped into the bush,
but have not been seen since.
On Saturday, at the morgue
of PotiskumGeneral Hospital,
a few miles from the scene of
the attack, parents screamed
in anguish as they attempted
to identify the victims, many
charred beyond recognition.
Some parents don’t know
if their children survived or
died.
Farmer Malam Abdullahi
found the bodies of two of his
sons, a 10-year-old shot in the
back as he apparently tried to
run away, and a 12-year-old
shot in the chest.

CAIRO — Egypt’s new
president moved to assert his
authority Saturday by naming
a chief rival of ousted leader
Mohammed Morsi as interim
prime minister and holding cri-
sis talks with security ofﬁcials
on efforts to reclaim control of
the streets.
The steps by the untested
Adly Mansour, however, are
likely to deepen the deﬁance by
Islamist opponents who have
turned parts of the Cairo into
vigilante-guarded strongholds
and have issued blood oaths to
battle until Morsi is restored.
After a night of clashes that
claimed at least 36 lives, both
sides appeared to be prepar-
ing for the possibility of more
violence as Egypt’s political
unraveling increasingly left lit-
tle room for middle ground or
dialogue.
In the eastern suburb of Nasr
City — near the main rally-
ing point for Morsi’s Muslim
Brotherhood — lines of ﬁght-
ers brandished homemade
weapons and body armor at
road blocks afﬁxed with Morsi’s
picture.
Next door in the relatively
upscale Heliopolis district, peo-
ple chanted against Morsi and
honked car horns in apprecia-
tion of roadblocks manned by
Egypt’s military — whose snub
of Morsi’s authority earlier this
week tipped the scales against
Egypt’s ﬁrst elected leader.
Mansour’s decision to bring
pro-reform leader and Nobel
laureate Mohamed ElBaradei
into the key government role of
prime minister is also certain to
help cement the loyalties of the
anti-Morsi forces.
The president planned
to swear-in ElBaradei later
Saturday, said Khaled Dawoud,
an ofﬁcial with the main oppo-
sition National Salvation Front.
ElBaradei, a former director
of the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog
agency, led the protests against
President Hosni Mubarak dur-
ing the Arab Spring uprising
that ended his autocratic rule in
February 2011.
The revolution also opened
the way for the political rise
of the Muslim Brotherhood,
which was long under pres-
sure from Mubarak’s Western-
backed regime. Elections last
year brought Morsi to the presi-
dency, but ElBaradei remained
a voice of dissent, once saying
the Brotherhood lived “in a
delusion” for thinking its mem-
bers could manage the country
on their own.
Egypt’s new president —
chief justice of the country’s
constitutional court — is
little-known in international
circles. But the choice of the
71-year-old ElBaradei gives the
administration and prominent
global ﬁgure to make its case to
Washington and other Western
allies trying to reassess policies
after what Morsi’s backers have
described as a “coup.” Morsi
remains under detention in an
undisclosed location.
There were no reports of
major clashes in Egypt after
dawn Saturday, following a
night of street battles that
added to an overall death toll of
at least 75 in the past week.
Later, in the northern part of
Sinai peninsula, gunmen shot
dead a Christian priest while he
shopped for food in an outdoor
market on Saturday.

Another entry in ‘Gasland’
saga due Monday
Josh Fox galvanized the U.S. anti-
fracking movement with his incendiary
2010 documentary “Gasland.” Now he’s
back with a sequel — and this time, he’s
targeting an audience of just one.
“We want the president to watch the
movie, and we want him to meet with
the people who are in it,” says Fox,
whose “Gasland Part II” makes its HBO
debut Monday.
He contends President Barack
Obama’s professed support of drilling
and fracking for natural gas ignores the
environmental and public health toll
of the drilling boom: “It looks like he’s
really sincere and earnest in his desire
to take on climate change, but he’s got
the completely wrong information and
thus the completely wrong plan.”
“Part II” covers a lot of the same
ground as the Emmy-winning and
Oscar-nominated original, as Fox takes
his banjo and camera on the road again
to interview residents who say their air
and water were contaminated by drill-
ing.
What’s new here is the focus on what
Fox sees as the drilling industry’s cor-
rupting inﬂuence on politicians and
regulators. In “Gasland Part II,” the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
is cast in the role of protector and
defender.
OTISFIELD, Maine
Campers watch Egypt
changes fromafar
Nearly two-dozen Egyptians who
arrived in Maine last month at a special
camp aimed at helping Israeli and Arab
teens overcome their differences will
return home to a country that ousted its
leader following the largest demonstra-
tions seen in their homeland.
From more than 5,000 miles away,
Egyptians at the Seeds of Peace camp
have been trying to stay abreast of the
latest developments, including Friday’s
clashes that killed 30.
Counselor Mostafa Ismail, 22, from
Cairo, said people were unhappy with
the presidential ballot choices after the
Arab Spring demonstrations led to the
election of Morsi. He said the country
now needs to take a deep breath to
ensure history doesn’t repeat.
SIMI VALLEY, Calif.
Fireworks mishap
injures about 40
For many people gathered to watch
July Fourth ﬁreworks at a Southern
California park, it took time to realize
the wild chain of explosions weren’t just
part of the show.
But those up close Thursday night
knew immediately that something was
wrong. They included Paulina Mulkern,
who had to shove her 4-year-old cousin
under a lawn chair as shrapnel came
ﬂying then shielded a 7-year-old cousin
with her body as scorching debris ﬂew
overhead.
“You feel the big old heat come right
over your back,” Mulkern said Friday,
still shaking a day after the chain reac-
tion of accidental explosions at an annu-
al ﬁreworks show that had been put on
since 1970 in Simi Valley northwest of
Los Angeles. Thirty-nine people ranging
in ages from 17 months to 78 years old
were injured.

South Florida ﬁreﬁghters came to
the rescue of a dog that traveled 5 miles
while trapped under the hood of a car.
The Broward Sheriff’s Ofﬁce says ﬁre-
ﬁghters were called Thursday afternoon
to Dania Beach to free the dog. The ani-
mal had been trapped between the car’s
axle and steering mechanism.
A sheriff’s ofﬁce spokesman says
the dog suffered no injuries. It wasn’t
immediately clear how the dog became
trapped.

Ex-prisoner
chosen to
lead Syrian
opposition
group
BEIRUT — A former Syrian
political prisoner with close
links to Saudi Arabia was picked
Saturday to lead Syria’s main
Western-backed opposition
group, ﬁlling a post long vacant
due to divisions among President
Bashar Assad’s opponents.
Inside Syria, government
troops advanced into rebel-held
areas of the central city of Homs,
pushing into a heavily contested
neighborhood after pummeling
it with artillery that drove out
opposition ﬁghters, an activist
said.
The election of Ahmad al-Jarba
as the head of the Syrian National
Coalition came during a meeting
in Turkey in what was the sec-
ond attempt in recent months by
Assad’s opponents to unify their
ranks.
The opposition bloc is primar-
ily composed of exiled politicians
with little support among Syrians
back home who are trying to sur-
vive the third summer of conﬂict
that has killed more than 93,000
people and forced millions to ﬂee
their homes.
Al-Jarba’s election suggests
the opposition is trying to unite
despite its differences after
Assad’s forces gained ground last
month in and around the strate-
gic town of Qusair near the bor-
der with Lebanon.
It also underscored the rivalry
between Saudi Arabia and Qatar
who are vying for inﬂuence
among the Sunni-dominated
Syrian opposition. Both have
been prominent backers of forces
struggling to oust Assad.
The Saudi-backed al-Jarba
won 55 votes, edging out Qatar-
endorsed businessman Mustafa
Sabbagh who got 52 votes,
according to a statement from
the 114-member SNCin Istanbul,
where many of Syrian opposition
ﬁgures are based. The SNC state-
ment did not say who the remain-
ing members voted for.
Al-Jarba, a 44-year-old law-
yer with a law degree from
Beirut’s Arab University, is from
Syria’s northeastern province
of Hassakeh and is a member of
the powerful Shammar tribe that
extends into Iraq. He was a little-
known anti-Assad ﬁgure before
Syria’s civil war though he was
detained in March 2011 — days
after the uprising against Assad
began. It was his second arrest,
following one in 1996 when he
was held for two years because of
anti-government activities.
After his release, al-Jarba left
Syria in August in 2011 and
became active in the opposition.
He is close to secular politician
Michel Kilo’s Democratic Bloc,
which recently joined the SNC.
Al-Jarba could not be immedi-
ately reached for comment after
his election Saturday.
An SNC statement quoted him
as saying that his priorities will
be “to follow-up on the situation
inside Syria, especially in Homs,”
and that “all efforts should be in
this direction.”

Ofcials say more than 60 people unaccounted for fromtheAsianaAirlines fight.
SAN FRANCISCO — An Asiana
Airlines ﬂight from Seoul, South Korea,
crashed while landing at San Francisco
International Airport on Saturday, kill-
ing at least two people, injuring dozens
of others and forcing passengers to jump
down the emergency inﬂatable slides to
safety as ﬂames tore through the plane.
More than 60 passengers were also
unaccounted for, said San Francisco Fire
Chief Joanne Hayes-White. It wasn’t
immediately clear where they were, but
she said they weren’t all presumed dead
at this time.
“This is a work in progress,” she
said, adding the investigation has been
turned over to the FBI and that terror-
ism has been ruled out. She said at least
48 people were initially transported
from the scene to area hospitals.
The Federal Aviation Administration
said Flight 214 crashed while landing
before noon PDT. A video clip posted
to YouTube showed smoke coming from
a jet on the tarmac. Passengers could
be seen jumping down the emergency
slides.
Television footage showed the top
of the fuselage was burned away and
the entire tail was gone. One engine
appeared to have broken away. Pieces of
the tail were strewn about the runway.
Emergency responders could be seen
walking inside the burned-out wreck-
age.
It wasn’t immediately clear what hap-
pened to the plane as it was landing,
but some eyewitnesses said the aircraft
seemed to lose control and that the tail
may have hit the ground.
Stephanie Turner sawthe plane going
down and the rescue slides deploy, but
returned to her hotel room before see-
ing any passengers get off the jet, she
told ABC News. Turner said when she
ﬁrst saw the ﬂight she noticed right
away that the angle of its approach
seemed strange.
“I mean we were sure that we had just
seen a lot of people die. It was awful,”
she said. “And it looked like the plane
had completely broken apart. There
were ﬂames and smoke just billowing.”
Kate Belding was out jogging just
before 11:30 a.m. on a path the water
from the airport when she noticed the
plane approaching the runway in a way
that “just didn’t look like it was coming
in quite right.”
“Then all of a sudden I saw what
looked like a cloud of dirt pufﬁng up and
then there was a big bang and it kind of
looked like the plane maybe bounced
(as it neared the ground),” she said. “I
couldn’t really tell what happened, but
you saw the wings going up and (in) a
weird angle.”
“Not like it was cartwheeling,” she
said, but rather as though the wings
were almost swaying from side to side.
Doug Yakel, a spokesman for the air-
port, said he did not yet knowhowmany
passengers were aboard the ﬂight. “We
also don’t have any information at this
time to the status of those passengers,”
he said at a brief news conference.
San Francisco General Hospital
spokeswoman Rachael Kagan said the
adult patients range in age from 20 to
their 40s. It was not immediately clear
the ages of the children.

VIDALIA, Ga. — Two years after
Georgia and Alabama passed laws
designed to drive away people living
in the country illegally, the states’ agri-
cultural areas are still heavily popu-
lated with foreign workers, many of
whom don’t have legal authorization
to be here.
There are still concerns over
enforcement and lingering fears
among immigrants, but in many ways
it appears that people have gone on
with life much as it was before the laws
were enacted.
Farmers say many of the foreign
workers have returned because the
laws are not heavily enforced and it
once again seems safe to be here.
But the story is more complicated
than that: Some are still staying away
or have gone underground, accord-
ing to community activists, and some
farmers say they are ﬁlling labor short-
ages not with returning immigrants
but with workers hired through a pro-
gramthat grants temporary legal visas.
Meanwhile, employers and work-
ers in both states are watching as
Congress wrestles over plans that aim
to simultaneously prevent future ille-
gal immigration and offer a chance at
citizenship for millions now living in
the country illegally.
Georgia and Alabama were two of
ﬁve states to pass tough crackdowns
on illegal immigration in 2011, a year
after Arizona made headlines for a
hard-line immigration enforcement
law that ended up being challenged in
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Immediately after the laws were
passed, farmers in both states com-
plained that foreign workers who lived
there had left and that the itinerant
migrants who generally came through
were staying away. American workers
weren’t stepping forward to perform
the back-breaking work immigrants
had done for years, and crops were rot-
ting in the ﬁelds because of a lack of
laborers, they said.
An informal survey conducted in
Georgia showedthat farmers of onions,
watermelons and other hand-picked
crops lacked more than 11,000 work-
ers during their spring and summer
harvests of 2011, Georgia Department
of Agriculture Commissioner Gary
Black told a U.S. Senate subcommittee
hearing on immigration enforcement
and farm labor.
But then as courts began block-
ing signiﬁcant elements of the law
and some loopholes became appar-
ent, some of the workers who had
ﬂed for fear of arrest and deportation
returned. Others were drawn back by
their longstanding ties to the commu-
nities.
Victor Valentin, 25, and his wife,
Maria Gonzales, 23, came to the
Vidalia onion growing region in south
Georgia ﬁve years ago and found work
quickly. But when the state passed its
law cracking down on illegal immigra-
tion, they feared they would be caught
and deported, and left for neighboring
North Carolina.
They didn’t last long. With two
young children and no support net-
work there, life was difﬁcult. At the
same time, the situation in Georgia
seemed to have calmed down.
“We still talked to people here, and
we heard there weren’t really any
problems, that things hadn’t really
changed,” Valentin said, explaining
that the family decided to return to the
Vidalia area after about nine months.
He’s found work harvesting pine straw
since his return.
This year, Black and a number of
industry leaders in Georgia told The
Associated Press they haven’t heard of
any labor shortages.
The situation in Alabama is similar.
“No one seems to be having any
problems,” said Alabama’s agricul-
ture commissioner, John McMillan,
who added that he has spoken with
farmers who saw migrants return
once it became clear the law passed
in Alabama was, in practice, mostly
toothless. Courts blocked most of the
law’s toughest sections, including one
that required public schools to check
students’ citizenship status, and the
massive arrests envisioned by some
simply didn’t happen.

LAS VEGAS —Most peo-
ple still think of the U.S. gam-
bling industry as anchored in
Las Vegas. They might think
of vestiges of the mob, or the
town’s ill-advised ﬂirtation
with family-friendly branding
in the 1990s.
But they would be wrong.
The center of the gambling
world has shifted 16 time
zones away to a tiny spit of
land on the southern tip of
East Asia.
An hour’s ferry ride from
Hong Kong and an afternoon
ﬂight from half the world’s
population, Macau is the
only place in China where
casino gambling is legal.
Each month, 2.5 million
tourists ﬂood the glitzy
boomtown to try their luck
in neon-drenched casinos
that collect more winnings
than the entire U.S. gambling
industry. The exploding
ranks of the Chinese nouveau
riche sip tea and speak in
hushed tones as they play at
baccarat, a fast-moving game
where gamblers are dealt two
cards and predict whether
they will beat the banker.
The textile factories that
stood shoulder to shoulder
with small-time gambling
halls as recently as the early
2000s have given way to
hulking American-run enter-
prises larger than anything
found in the states. The
gangs, prostitutes and mon-
ey-launderers that once oper-
ated openly in this town half
the size of Manhattan have
at least receded from public
eye.
“It was a swamp,” said
Sheldon Adelson, CEO
of Las Vegas Sands, as he
looked back on his early,
risky venture in the forgotten
colonial outpost.
“They wanted to change
the face of Macau from the
gambling dens to that of
conventions and resorts,”
he added during recent tes-
timony, ﬂashing a jack-o-lan-
tern grin and boasting that
it would have taken a genius
to imagine the proﬁts that he
could reap there.
The quest for Asian riches
is changingLas Vegas as well.
Casino bosses are tweaking
their ﬂagship casinos to look
andoperate more like Macau-
style properties. As they
succeed, hints of organized
crime are returning, this time
in the formof Chinese gangs.

ROSE LICATA
July 5, 2013
Rose Licata, 92, a resi-
dent of Apollo Apartments
and formerly of Pine Street,
Pittston, died Friday at
VNA Hospice-St. Luke’s
Villa, Wilkes-Barre. Rose
would have turned 93 on
July 26, 2013.
Born on July 26, 1920,
she was the daughter of
the late Sam and Mary
(Castellino) Licata. She
lived on Railroad Street
in Pittston up to the age
of 15, until she moved to
Pine Street in 1935, where
she lived for 67 years, until
she moved to the Apollo
Apartments in June of
2002.
She attended Pittston
schools and was a 1938
graduate of Pittston High
School. She worked in
Buffalo, N.Y., during World
War II as a press operator
and lived with her Aunt
Carmella and Uncle Reggie
during her time there. She
enjoyed going to Niagara
Falls on the weekends while
she lived out there.
Upon her return to
Pittston, Rose worked in
the garment industry for
many years working in
Pittston, West Pittston,
Exeter, and at Country
Maid in Plains as a ﬂoor
person, retiring in 1982.
During her years in the
garment industry, she took
part in minstrel shows
where she would act and
sing and always liked to
make people laugh.
For a brief period, she
worked at the Luzerne
County Courthouse in the
prothonotary’s ofﬁce.
Along with her mother,
she was a volunteer worker
at the White Haven Center,
where her brother Frank
was a resident.
She enjoyed spend-
ing time with her family
and friends, going on bus
trips to Atlantic City, New
York City, Bethlehem, and
Buffalo and playing bingo
at various bingo halls. She
liked to take the train from
Pittston to Buffalo to visit
her relatives and friends,
especially her brothers Fred
and Buddy.
She was a member of
St. Joseph Marello Parish
and previously St. Rocco’s
Church in Pittston. She
was a member of the
International Ladies
Garment Workers Union
and the Montedoro Society.
She was the last surviv-
ing member of her immedi-
ate family. Those who knew
her and loved her will miss
her, especially her fam-
ily, friends and many close
friends. The family would
like to thank Dr. Mauer
Biscotti and the staff at St.
Luke’s Villa for their kind-
ness and care during Rose’s
stay.
In addition to her par-
ents, she was preceded in
death by her brothers Fred,
Frank, and Sam (Buddy)
Licata; sisters Mary Traglia,
Carmella (Millie) Malletz,
nephew Sam Traglia.
Surviving are her neph-
ew James Traglia Jr. and
his wife, Elizabeth, Pittston
andtheir children, Anthony,

WASHINGTON —
Three months before unin-
sured people can start shop-
ping for coverage, some
big unknowns loom over
President Barack Obama’s
health care overhaul.
The surprise announce-
ment this past week that
the White House is delay-
ing a requirement that
many employers offer
coverage raised questions
about other major parts of
the biggest expansion of
society’s safety net since
Medicare nearly 50 years
ago.
One delay may not mat-
ter much in the end. People
will judge Obama’s law on
three main points: premi-
ums, choice and the overall
consumer experience.
Only partial answers can
be gleaned now, and they
don’t necessarily fall along
predictable lines.
Basic economics sug-
gests premiums will be
higher than what many peo-
ple who buy their own cov-
erage pay now, especially
the young and healthy. The
new policies provide better
beneﬁts, and starting next
year, insurers won’t be able
to turn away the sick. But
the pocketbook impact will
be eased by new tax cred-
its and other features that
people soon will discover.
As for choice, Obama’s
plan isn’t likely to deliver
the dozens of options avail-
able to seniors through
Medicare. But limited
choices may not be seen as
a step backward because in
most states the individual
health insurance market is
now dominated by a single
insurer.
The consumer experi-
ence shopping online for
insurance remains the big-
gest unknown —and a risk.
Squads of technology
experts — federal, state,
insurer and contractor
employees — are trying
to mesh government and
private computer systems
together in ways that haven’t
been tried before. It may
not feel like Amazon.com.
Many people could default
to enrolling the low-tech
way, through call centers or
even through the mail.
Health care politics
divided the nation even
before the passage of the
Affordable Care Act in
2010, and the law’s full
implementation four years
later is shaping up as a tale
of two Americas.
The rollout might go
well in mostly Democratic
states that prepared, while
it clatters and clunks in
mainly Republican ones
that resisted Obama’s law.
Millions of poor people will
be denied coverage next
year because they live in
states that are refusing the
law’s Medicaid expansion.
But most workers now cov-
ered on the job should not
see major changes.
With political strategists
already honing health care
attack lines for next year’s
congressional elections, a
former U.S. health secre-
tary has an admonition for
both parties. Mike Leavitt
put in place the Medicare
prescription drug plan for
President George W. Bush
in 2006 and now heads a
consulting ﬁrm that advises
states on Obama’s law.
“It’s important for all of
us to remember that it’s
not political parties who
are affected in the long run,
it’s people,” Leavitt said
recently. “It will be millions
of people … many of whom
are the less fortunate, and
those who have dramatic
health problems.”
A closer look at the three
big questions:
Premiums
The Obama administra-
tion sees encouraging signs
in states that have released
premiums for next year,
as well as from rates ﬁled
directly with the federal
government but not yet
publicly revealed.
“We are seeing increased
choice and affordable pre-
miums,” said Mike Hash,
head of the Department
of Health and Human
Services’ health reform
ofﬁce.
But what will consumers
see?
The data-crunching com-
pany Avalere Health found
that in nine states that have
released premiums, the
rates appear to be lower
than the Congressional
Budget Ofﬁce estimated
when the law was being
drafted in 2009.
But Avalere vice presi-
dent Caroline Pearson
acknowledges that doesn’t
represent the cost com-
parison a consumer might
make. Most people who
now buy policies individu-
ally could see an increase
from what they’re now pay-
ing.
“The beneﬁt design is
going to be richer than
what is typically purchased
and available today … and
the rules require insurers
to sell a policy to whoever
wants it, regardless of
health status,” she said.
That still doesn’t get you
to the bottom line because
most consumers will be
eligible for income-based
tax credits to help pay pre-
miums. The plan they pick
also could make a big differ-
ence.
Jeremy Gilchrist, a self-
employed meteorologist
from Winooski, Vt., has
been uninsured about four
years. In his mid-30s, he’s
in good health, and he says
he can’t afford premiums on
a skimpy budget.
“For most people, it’s
going to be a ﬁnancial deci-
sion,” Gilchrist said.
According to the online
Kaiser Family Foundation’s
health reform subsidy cal-
culator, Gilchrist would be
eligible for a tax credit of
nearly $2,000 on a standard
“silver” policy that costs
$3,000, leaving him with
$1,000 to pay.
But he can also take that
$2,000 tax credit and use
it to buy a cheaper policy
called a “bronze” plan, leav-
ing him with only about
$500 to pay annually. The
bronze plan meets the new
requirement that virtu-
ally all people in the United
States have health insur-
ance. But if you get seri-
ously sick or injured you’ll
wind up paying more out of
your own pocket.
Still, the premium would
come to $42 a month for
Gilchrist. “The bronze plan
would be lower than my car
insurance,” he said.
But wait.
If Gilchrist were a smok-
er, which he is not, the law
would allow insurers to
tack on a penalty of up to
50 percent of the premium.
With time, the decisions
of millions of individual
consumers will reveal a
true bottom line.
The typical Medicare
recipient has about 30 pri-
vate insurance plans from
which to choose. There
may not be nearly as much
choice for families and indi-
viduals under the health
care law. How much that
will matter remains to be
seen.
It’s partly because in
most states a single insur-
ance company currently
controls more than half the
market for individual cover-
age.
The administration says
that’s going to change for
the better. In three-quarters
of the markets the federal
government will run, there
will be at least one new
insurer.
But areas of concern are
emerging. New Hampshire
could end up with just
one insurance company
offering plans through the
new marketplace. In 36 of
Mississippi’s 82 counties,
no insurer has yet signed
up to offer coverage. Bigger
states, however, don’t seem
to be having problems
attracting insurers.
“The individual market
for 2014 will look a lot like
the individual market today
— one or a handful of car-
riers dominant in most
states,” said Larry Levitt,
a leading expert with the
nonpartisan Kaiser Family
Foundation.
But people will be able
to move more easily from
insurer to insurer, he
added, which should bring
more competitive pressure.
Consumer
Experience
For people without job-
based coverage, shopping
for insurance under the
new system is supposed
to be as smooth as using
a major online site such as
Travelocity or Expedia.
But in a recent
report, the Government
Accountability Ofﬁce
raised concerns about the
sheer technological com-
plexity of the task and the
short time left to accom-
plish it.
The goal is for consum-
ers to be able to ﬁnd out
the amount of the tax cred-
it they’re entitled to and
sign up for a plan in real
time or close to it. For that
to happen, the computer
systems of several major
federal agencies, the states
and dozens of insurance
companies have to be able
to talk to each other, and
the information exchanged
must be accurate.
Testing the connections
is underway. “We really feel
very much on target for
Oct. 1 and ready for open
enrollment,” said Chiquita
Brooks-LaSure, a top HHS
ofﬁcial overseeing the roll-
out. “We are meeting criti-
cal implementation dead-
lines.”
“My guess is some of
these states are not going
to be up and running on
time,” said Dan Maynard,
president of Connecture, a
health technology company
building three marketplac-
es.
That wouldn’t necessar-
ily mean some consumers
will have to wait. People
could sign up through call
centers.
“You could have a very
light online (marketplace)
and have a lot of things drop
to the call center and claim
success,” said Maynard.

WILKES-BARRE — Homeowners looking to
remodel their homes or add a deck should do their
homework, a representative from the Pennsylvania
Builders Association said.
Below is a list of warning signs that should indicate
a contractor is not on the level:
• A contractor approaches you about damage to
your property.
• You’re told you’ve been chosen as a demonstration
project at a special price.
• You’re told a contract “won’t be necessary.”
• You’re asked to pay for the entire job upfront.
• You’re told the price is only good for today.
• The contractor can’t provide references.
• You can’t verify a business address.
• You can’t fnd the contractor in the Home
Improvement Contractor list through the
Pennsylvania Attorney General’s offce.
• High pressure sales tactics.
Homeowners are reminded to ask contractors they
hire for their state-required registration number any
time they get a quote for home repairs or remodeling.
In 2008, PBA worked with the state General
Assembly to pass the Home Improvement Contractor
Protection Act, which went into effect on July 1,
2009. Contractor registration is intended to provide
another layer of consumer protection and to authorize
criminal penalties for home improvement fraud.
“Unregistered home improvement contractors are
breaking the law, and we need the help of homeown-
ers to alert the Attorney General’s offce any time they
get a visit from an unregistered contractor,” said PBA
President Larry Eberly. “Consumers who use unregis-
tered home improvement contractors for remodeling
or repairs are taking the risk of being ripped off by
someone who is skirting the law.”
Although contractors are required to register under
the law, their appearance in the registry does not
mean the Attorney General’s offce endorses their
work. Registration is not a license or seal of approval.
A retired carpenter, Emmanuel
said he has sent crosses to Pope
John Paul II, the family of Jackie
Kennedy Onassis and to actor Jim
Caviezel, who played Jesus in the
2004 movie, “The Passion of the
Christ.”
Emmanuel said he is ashamed
of “our country and our people”
because people are getting away
from the church and morality con-
tinues to decline.
“God needs people like me to
show His love. And there’s no bet-
ter way than to make these crosses
— the symbol of God’s love for
everybody.”
The Rev. Richard J. Cirba, assis-
tant pastor at Emmanuel’s par-
ish — St. John the Evangelist in
Pittston — said Emmanuel has
“a charitable heart” and is always
looking to reach out to bring God’s
love to people, especially those
who are suffering.
“I think the making of the cross
is a way of showing people the
love and suffering of Jesus,” Cirba
said. “He feels by his making these
crosses, it brings some comfort
and peace to those who are suffer-
ing, like the families in Newtown.”
Local cross recipients
Emmanuel has made crosses for
the parish First Holy Communion
recipients and Confrmation can-
didates. He’s made them for other
parishes as well. And he attaches
a card with a message that Cirba
said makes a positive impression
on everyone, especially children.
“He really believes in his heart
that it’s the Holy Spirit who is
guiding his work,” Cirba said.
“It’s an act of love on his part to
be able to share this gift with oth-
ers, especially children. The bot-
tom line is the love and charity of
his work.”
Emmanuel said he doesn’t
decide who to make the crosses
for — God does that for him. He
includes a card with a sincere
message of his mission with every
cross he makes.
“I’ve made them for the poorest
of the poor and the richest of the
rich,” he said. “There’s no power
in what I do; no power in me. The
power is in everybody. God asks
us to love each other and take
care of one another.”
Emmanuel is making a spear
with a cross on it to send to the
Vatican. He said it will commem-
orate St. Longinus, the Roman
centurion who pierced the side of
Jesus while he was hanging on the
cross.
Emmanuel will send the special
spear to Pope Francis.
This is how Emmanuel decides
what to make and for whom.
“I have a vision for everything I
do,” he said. “I’ve made between
90,000 and 100,000 crosses.”
He said Angelo Descul, an art-
ist from Berwick, painted every
face of Jesus on every cross, and
Joseph Amity donates all the
wood for the crosses.

over a several-month period.
“It’s led to many charges (being fled)
and has helped us locate and verify
stolen items,” said county Detective
Charles Balogh, who implemented the
database in 2008 under then-District
Attorney Jackie Musto Carroll. “It’s
very benefcial.”
Balogh said about 200 entries are put
into the system every week, monitored
by 235 law enforcement agencies.
Balogh said the old way the process
would work is that an individual would
sell an item to a local pawn shop. They
would provide their identifcation, sig-
nature and amount of money paid out,
and that information would be mailed
to the district attorney’s offce.
Balogh said soon, fling cabinets
were piling up, as records are kept for
a two-year period.
At an average of 1,000 transactions a
week, Balogh believed there could be a
better way – a more streamlined way.
And so, the online database was
born. A test run worked out better than
expected and the system became price-
less.
“It’s a nice system. It can help us iden-
tify a unique piece of jewelry through
a detailed description,” Salavantis
said. “As long as pawn shops are doing
their job, we can have instant access to
those items.”
Balogh said the system was the driv-
ing force behind an arrest in a recent
burglary ring in Dunmore, and has
helped make recent arrests in West
Pittston and Hazleton.
“For most people, items taken in a
burglary have no value, they are price-
less and sentimental pieces,” Salavantis
said. “It means everything when we can
provide that piece back to a victim. It
means the world to them.”
Balogh said most items taken from
peoples homes and sold at pawn shops
are from trusted individuals, such as
those doing work painting, installing
carpets, contractors, housekeepers and
others.
Items are taken, sold at pawn shops
and identifcation of that person and
the item they sold immediately go into
the database.
More counties, more efective
Now that several other counties are
getting on board with Luzerne County’s
database, Salavantis said enforcement
will be easier.
“Criminals have no boundaries. Now,
we’ll be able to track them across multi-
county jurisdictions,” Salavantis said.
Balogh added he hopes some day
to have every county in Pennsylvania
participate in the database so that the
entire state can beneft from it’s impact.
Balogh said currently 92 pawn shops
participate in using the database,
and some municipalities, including
Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton and Hanover
Township, have enacted ordinances
that require businesses in municipali-
ties to participate in the database.
If a vendor fails to participate in
providing information to the District
Attorney’s Offce, they could be
charged with a misdemeanor and lose
their license for fve years.
Though, Balogh said, vendors can
also be victims in the case because they
are losing merchandise and income.

West Pittston police
said Joseph Lombardo,
of Luzerne Avenue,
paid $1,800 to William
Thomas Laird of

Remodeling to paint his
house in April. Laird
cashed the check, made
out to a woman, and never
started the job, police said.
Police charged Laird
with theft, deceptive busi-
ness practices and receiv-
ing payment for services he
failed to perform.
Precautions
necessary
While the spring and
summer seasons are ripe
for remodeling and build-
ing projects, homeowners
who sustained damage
from a natural disaster also
need contractors’ services.
The state Offce of
Attorney General had
offcials throughout
Northeastern Pennsylvania
in the weeks after the
historic September 2011
ﬂood verifying contractors
were registered with thier
offce as required by state
law and to make sure they
weren’t raising prices for
materials and labor.
Janet Campis, offcer
manager at The Building
Industry Association of
Northeastern Pennsylvania
in Kingston, warns home-
owners to be extra cautious
when hiring a contractor to
avoid being victimized.
“The frst thing home-
owners should do is call
their insurance company;
they have a list of contrac-
tors they will recommend,”
Campis said. “The next
thing homeowners can do
is get referrels and check
for the contractor’s regis-
tration number with the
(Pennsylvania) Attorney
General’s Offce.”
A law adopted in 2009
requires contractors to
register their business
with the attorney general’s
offce.
Optimismfaded
Stuka said he purchased
the house in February
2012 when the previous
homeowners had died. The
house is next to his par-
ents’ home where he was
raised.
Stuka said he hired
Poplawski on a recommen-
dation from the previous
owners’ family. Poplawski
installed a fence on the
Stuka property and demol-
ished a garage behind his
new home.
“I’m a frst time home
owner, I didn’t know much
better,” Stuka said. “It
wasn’t suppose to be this
way; I trusted him.”
Stuka said Poplawski
promised to obtain the nec-
essary permits to remodel
the house and to replace
the roof. Permits also were
required for containers to
haul away debris.
Stuka said he frst sus-
pected problems when he
noticed the lack of permit
cards in the window. He
did not know separate
permits are required for
electrical, plumbing and
roof replacement.
“At the time, I didn’t feel
I was being cheated,” Stuka
said. “When he kept ask-
ing me for more money, I
started to question him and
he stopped showing up,
he only showed up when
I wasn’t around and he
stopped returning calls.’
Stuka hoped the remodel
would be fnished in May
2012 allowing him to rent
the two apartments and
earn income. With the
apartments still under
construction in July 2012,
Stuka gave Poplawski an
ultimatum.
“I told him to get this
fnished by October. Every
cent I had has gone into
the house,” Stuka said.
Stuka said he fnally
had enough, ending his
working relationship with
Poplawski in October. By
that time, Stuka said he
was in the hole for more
than $73,000.
Troubles not over
Stuka’s troubles did not
end there.
An inspection of the
unfnished apartments led
to serious problems costing
Stuka more money:
• Stuka learned he was
billed him for new materi-
als when existing and used
windows, pipes and electri-
cal wires from other jobs
were used.
• Fittings for the 4-inch
waste pipe in the basement
were incorrectly connected
to the main sewer line.
• Drywall that was
installed did not meet fre
code standards.
• Walls were closed with
drywall before the electrical
system was inspected.
• The front porch was
not replaced.
• Electrical panel boxes
and the wrong ceiling
fan junction boxes were
installed.
Stuka said he learned of
the shoddy construction
by new contractors he was
forced to hire to fnish the
apartments. Drywall had to
be removed to install new
electrical lines and junc-
tion boxes, waste pipes had
to be moved and reftted,

needed another $8,000. He

on the back of the house.
“We soon found out he
never ordered the cabinets

Nicholson said the

ordered Poplawski to cease

Nicholson said she learned
Poplawski billed her for

Poplawski was charged
by Harveys Lake police
with theft and deceptive
business practices. Those
charges were dismissed
when Nicholson said she
accepted $5,000 from
Poplawski.
“We had to pay more
money to redo all the work
he did,” Nicholson said.
The civil lawsuit was
fled in an attempt to
recover their losses. A
$38,732 judgment was
fled in Luzerne County
Court in October 2009
in the Nicholson’s favor
when Poplawski failed to
respond to the lawsuit.
No money has been
paid.

MOSCOW — Edward Snowden has
found supporters in Latin America,
including three countries who have
offered him asylum. But many obsta-
cles stand in the way of the fugitive
NSA leaker from leaving a Russian air-
port — chief among them the power
and inﬂuence of the United States.
Because Snowden’s U.S. passport
has been revoked, the logistics of him
departing are complicated. Venezuela,
Nicaragua and Bolivia have made asy-
lum offers over the past two days, but
the three countries haven’t indicated
they would help Snowden by issuing a
travel document, which he would need
to leave Russia.
The former NSA systems analyst,
who is charged with violating U.S.
espionage laws, is believed to be stuck
in the transit area of Moscow’s main
international airport after arriving
June 23 from Hong Kong.
Russia doesn’t appear willing to help
him leave the airport, with Kremlin
spokesman Alexei Pavlov saying
Saturday the issue of Snowden’s travel
documents is “not our business.” On
Monday, President Vladimir Putin
said Snowden would be offered asylum
in Russia if he stopped leaking U.S.
secrets. Snowden then withdrew his
Russian asylum bid, a Russian ofﬁcial
said.
While President Barack Obama has
publicly displayed a relaxed attitude
toward Snowden’s movements, saying
last month that he wouldn’t be “scram-
bling jets” to capture him, other senior
U.S. ofﬁcials have used unusually harsh
language that they want him back.
White House spokesman Jay Carney
said China had “unquestionably” dam-
aged its relationship with Washington
for not returning Snowden, who
recently turned 30, from semi-auton-
omous Hong Kong while he was still
there.
“The Chinese have emphasized the
importance of building mutual trust,”
Carney said last month. “We think that
they have dealt that effort a serious
setback. If we cannot count on them
to honor their legal extradition obliga-
tions, then there is a problem.”

explosion. It’s a catastrophe.
It’s terrible for the popula-
tion.”
Demers, who ﬂed his
home, said the explosion was
“like an atomic bomb. It was
very hot. … Everybody was
afraid.”
Charles Coue said he and
his wife felt the heat as they
sprinted from their home
after an explosion went off
a couple of hundred yards
(meters) away.
“It went boom and it came
like a ﬁreball,” he said.
Another resident Claude
Bedard described the scene
of the explosions as “dread-
ful.”
“The Metro store,
Dollarama, everything that
was there is gone,” he said.
Environment Quebec
spokesman Christian
Blanchette said a large but
undetermined amount of
fuel had also spilled into the
Chaudiere (Ah-DER-Re)
River. Blanchette said the 73
cars were ﬁlled with crude
oil, and at least four were
damaged by the explosions
and ﬁre.
“We also have a spill on
the lake and the river that
is concerning us. We have
advised the local municipali-
ties downstream to be careful
if they take their water from
the Chaudiere River.”
He added that a mobile
laboratory had been set up to
monitor the quality of the air.
Fireﬁghters and rescue
workers from several neigh-
boring municipalities, includ-
ing Sherbrooke and Saint-
Georges-de-Beauce, were
called in to help deal with the
disaster.
Fireﬁghters from northern
Maine were also deployed to
the Quebec town, according
to a spokesman at the sher-
iff’s ofﬁce in Franklin County.
Prime Minister Stephen
Harper expressed his sympa-
thy in a statement.
“Our thoughts and prayers
go out to the families and
friends of those affected
by this morning’s tragic
train derailment and subse-
quent ﬁres in Lac-Megantic,
Quebec,” Harper said.
“We hope evacuees can
return to their homes safely
and quickly. The people of
Lac-Megantic and surround-
ing areas can rest assured
that our government is moni-
toring the situation and we
stand by ready to provide any
assistance requested by the
province.”
The train, reportedly head-
ing toward Maine, belongs to
Montreal Maine & Atlantic.
According to the railroad’s
website, the company owns
more than 500 miles (800
kilometers) of track serving
Maine, Vermont, Quebec and
New Brunswick.
Last week a train carrying
petroleum products derailed
in Calgary, Alberta, when a
ﬂood-damaged bridge sagged
toward the still-swollen Bow
River. The derailed rail cars
were removed without spill-
ing their cargo.
The Quebec accident is
likely to have an impact
across the border. In Maine,
environmentalists and state
ofﬁcials have previously
raised concerns about the
threat of an accident and a
spill from railroad tank cars
carrying crude oil across the
state.
The Montreal, Maine and
Atlantic Railway carried
nearly 3 million barrels of oil
across Maine last year. Each
tank car holds some 30,000
gallons (113,600 liters) of oil.
The Maine Department
of Environmental Protection
has begun developing protec-
tion plans for the areas where
the trains travel, spokeswom-
an Samantha Warren said
recently.

After the tragic shooting in
Connecticut claimed the lives of 20
schoolchildren in December, musi-
cian Doug Hutchings expressed his
anguish and confusion about the
hardest questions.
“Where is God when terrible
things happen? I started to write a
song about that well before Sandy
Hook happened,” he said, explaining
the loss of innocent lives prompted
him to complete the piece.
“The best way to describe it is in
the lyrics of the chorus. … There’s so
much beauty in this world, especial-
ly in the young, the innocent. Why
are there people who think beauty is
something to destroy?
“The song basically says I don’t
have the answers,” Hutchings said in
a telephone interview. “I’m not sure
why God allows bad things to hap-
pen to good people. What I do know
is tragedy makes us more human. It
draws us closer to God, and when we
lean into him, the answer isn’t always
clear, but he grows closer to us and
touches our hearts.”
Touching hearts is a goal shared by
Hutchings and the other members of
Full Armor, a Catholic/Christian band
scheduled to play acoustic-driven, folk-
style music during a 4 p.m. Saturday
Mass at All Saints Parish in Plymouth.
A concert of the group’s music,
including selections from the recent
album “None the Same,” will follow
immediately. The public is welcome,
and admission is free.
Calling themselves “a band of best
friends,” members of Full Armor
have been playing together since
they were high-school students in the
Middletown, N.Y., area. The musi-
cians include Tara Lakeman, Kyle
Hancharick and Doug Hutchings as
vocalists with Hancharick also play-
ing acoustic guitar and Hutchings on
keyboards. Rounding out the sound
are Francis Zelinka with his electric
guitar, Matt Juliano on drums and
Matthew Lee occasionally providing
violin harmony.
Their name came from a letter of St.
Paul, in which he advised the Ephesians
to “put on the full armor of God.”
Does that mean the musicians, all
of them in their 20s, feel as if they’re
going into battle?
“Jesus won the battle,” Hutchings
said. “All we have to do is go out and
show Jesus to other people through
the way we love and treat each other.”
Members of the group do try to
treat everyone as a friend.
During one concert in a small
venue, Hutchings remembered,
“There were about seven kids, high-
school age, all up front. They didn’t
seem to be as joyful, or having a good
time, as I would have expected. I
told myself, ‘This is the Holy Spirit.
You just have to be courageous.’ We
approached them and asked what
was going on and found out that a
year ago, a good friend of theirs had
died in a car accident.
“We said, ‘Come step aside and
pray with us really quick.’ Tara and I
put our arms around them. We cried
together. We prayed together. We
tried to show our faith in action.”
No stranger to larger venues,
Full Armor received national atten-
tion when the band played for Pope
Benedict XVI’s youth rally in New
York, which was attended by 25,000
young people in April 2008.
“There was so much energy there,”
Hutchings remembered. “It was real-
ly intense. When (the pope) came
in, he was such a humble, quiet pres-
ence, and he spoke very gently but
very powerfully about peace.”
Spreading peace is one of Full
Armor’s goals, as Hutchings
expressed in the song “Let Me Sow
Love,” which he wrote based on the
prayer of St. Francis.
“Let me sow the love that you’ve put
into me,” he wrote, “to make me an
instrument of your joy and your peace.”

Lady Liberty
10 options you might not have considered
AP file photos
Staten Island ferry passengers look out at the Statue of Liberty in New York. For
tourists who want a photo of the famous statue without visiting the island, there
are many options and vantage points, including rides on the free Staten Island Ferry.
Beth J. Harpaz
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The Statue of Liberty reopened to visitors on July
Fourth for the ﬁrst time since Superstorm Sandy. But for those who
just want a photo op with the statue, there are many other vantage
points, from Red Hook, Brooklyn, and Governors Island, to a walk
across the Brooklyn Bridge. The Staten Island ferry takes you right
past the statue for free, while those on bigger budgets can reserve a
room with a view at the luxury Ritz-Carlton hotel.
Here are 10 ways to get a great look at the Statue of Liberty, start-
ing with the cruises that resumed service to Liberty Island on July
Fourth.
STATUE CRUISES TO LIBERTY ISLAND
Statue Cruises — http://www.statuecruises.com — is the sole
operator for boats that take visitors to Liberty Island, where the
Statue of Liberty is located. Boats were scheduled to resume depart-
ing from the Battery in Lower Manhattan on July 4, when Liberty
Island reopened to the public for the ﬁrst time since Superstorm
Sandy in October. The statue itself was not damaged by the storm,
but landing docks and infrastructure, including electrical, phone and
sewage systems, required months of repair work by the National Park
Service, which operates the statue.
Ellis Island also was damaged by the storm, and no reopening date
has been set, so cruises to the Statue of Liberty will not be stopping
there yet, NPS spokesman John Warren said. But Warren added that
the park service is “hopeful” that boats to Liberty Island soon will
resume departures from Liberty State Park in New Jersey.
You can buy Statue Cruises tickets in person at the Battery, but
the cruises do sell out, so advance online purchase is strongly rec-
ommended. There are three types of tickets: access to the statue’s
crown, $20 ($17 for seniors, $12 for ages 4-12); or access to the
pedestal of the monument or the grounds of Liberty Island, $17 ($14
for seniors, $9 ages 4-12).

htm for more information.
STATEN ISLAND FERRY
Take the subway to Bowling Green or South Ferry and hop on a
Staten Island ferry for a free ride across New York Harbor. The boats
run 24 hours a day. There’s always a crowd of tourists on deck taking
photos as the boat passes the Statue of Liberty.
OTHER CRUISES
Many vessels offer sightseeing cruises of New York Harbor and
Manhattan that sail right past the Statue of Liberty. They include
the Circle Line, Manhattan by Sail’s schooners, Hornblower Cruises,
Spirit Cruises, New York Water Taxi and Bateaux New York. Some
offer live music or fancy lunch or dinner cruises that can top $100.
BATTERY AND LOWER MANHATTAN
To see the Statue of Liberty without getting on a boat, just head to
the southern tip of Lower Manhattan, an area known as the Battery
(subway to South Ferry or Bowling Green).
While you’re there, consider exploring other parts of Lower
Manhattan, which includes the ﬁnancial district and the 9/11
Memorial. NYC & Company, the city’s ofﬁcial tourism agency, offers
a guide at http://www.nycgo.com/lower-manhattan.
BROOKLYN BRIDGE
A walk across the Brooklyn Bridge is one of the classic New York
experiences. In addition to giving you a close look at the bridge’s
Gothic arches and delicate ﬁligree of cables, it offers a magical view
of Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. To get the full impact
of the skyscraper canyon coming into view, take the subway to the
Brooklyn side (A or C to High Street) and walk back.

Chill out with
do-it-yourself
wine coolers
The wine cooler has a bit of an identity problem.
Is it a wine spritzer? A wine cocktail? Sangria? And
what about that wild child moment in the ’80s when
it was the hottest thing on the party scene?
Luckily, this cocktail conundrum is easily solved.
As Gertrude Stein might put it, wine cooler is wine
spritzer is wine cocktail is sangria.
And the versions being whipped up today have
nothing in common with the cheap, mass-produced
products of 30 years ago (which thankfully went the
way of shoulder pads).
“Mixology has been raised to this new chef-like
heights and wine, in a way, is the bartender’s hottest
ingredient right now,” says Mike Dawson, senior edi-
tor at Wine Enthusiast. “Cutting-edge bartenders are
taking these wine-based drinks to new heights, and
creating these New Age coolers, along with countless
variations of the sangria and classic wine cocktails
like the New York Sour.”
Summer is the perfect time for wine coolers, because
it’s the one time of year even the most dedicated vino-
phile toys with dropping a ﬁstful of ice in a glass.
Switching to a cooler makes wine “a little bit eas-
ier to drink,” says Chad Furuta of Del Frisco’s Grille
in New York. At the Grille, bartenders are making
spritzers with a house white wine, mixed with ginger
ale or a lemon-lime soda and served with a lemon twist
or wedge. “Whether you want to call it wine cooler or
spritzer, it really is a great summer drink,” he says.
What should you use when making your own wine
coolers? Well, don’t reach for the bottom-shelf wine
that just doesn’t taste good, advises Cappy Sorentino,
bar director of Spoonbar restaurant at the h2hotel in
the wine-country town of Healdsburg, Calif. On the
other hand, don’t go crazy and uncork an expensive
bottle of wine, either.
“It doesn’t have to be the best stuff because you’re
basically using it as a base,” he says.
Look for a wine that has a fair amount of
acidity to it, i.e. “yes” to sauvignon blanc or
pinot grigio, “no” to chardonnay that’s spent
a lot of time in oak barrels. For red wines,

Spanish wines are, not
surprising, a good choice
because sangria is a Spanish
invention. Tempranillo
makes a good choice.
He has an interesting take
on sangria, which is usually
wine fortiﬁed with some-
thing a little stronger and
augmented with sugar and
spices.
At Spoonbar, he’s using
a rose wine with pisco
(Peruvian brandy), plus
a little sugar, some water,
fresh pineapple juice, cin-
namon and a touch of clove.
It’s “really refresh-

I’ve often said
that genealogists
shouldn’t be afraid
to spend time
studying history.
Knowledge of the
milieu in which
ancestors lived
could open a lot of
doors.
That’s why a new push
among local historical
societies to compile
oral history in a coordi-
nated way is good news
for the area’s genealo-
gists, most of whom are
already members and/
or patrons of those very
same historical groups
and routinely use their
services.
“You have the oppor-
tunity to fill in those
gaps in history, in the
written record,” said Dr.
John H. Hepp of Wilkes
U n i v e r s i t y
at the recent
Summit of
Luzerne County
H i s t o r i c a l
Societies.
Hepp, a pro-
fessor of his-
tory, addressed
36 people, representing
14 local historical and
genealogical organiza-
tions. His purpose was
to provide a rationale
for oral history and
explain how to do it
from a technical and
legal standpoint.
What is oral history?
Essentially it is record-
ing the recollections of
older people about the
lives they’ve led and
the experiences they’ve
had. Today’s high-
capacity, voice-activat-
ed digital recording
technology makes that
kind of recording easily
do-able.
But specifically how
might widely scat-
tered recording efforts
become available to
genealogists? The
answer lies in tech-
nology and coordina-
tion, as explained by
Tony Brooks, executive
director of the Luzerne
County Historical
Society.
A modern recorder,
such as will soon be
distributed to local
historical groups, can
move the material –
perhaps an interview
with a survivor of the
Great Depression or a
veteran of World War II
– to a central location.
There all the histories
can be indexed, ready
for use by researchers
targeting specific eras
or events. Eventually,
even distance from
the collection will not
be a barrier, because
researchers will be
able to log in from any-
where.
Efforts are already
under way. Hepp said
that King’s College has
been compiling oral his-
tories from coal mining
days and from the 1972
Tropical Storm Agnes
disaster.
Hepp urged the local
groups to waste no time
in deciding on their
focuses and joining in
the effort while people
who remember times
past are still with us.
“Get the stories
before the stories dis-
appear,” he said.
Update: Reader Bill
Runner recently point-
ed out that one of the
area’s schools no lon-
ger in existence was a
Wilkes-Barre extension
of the famous Wharton
School, a division
of the University of
Pennsylvania. Wharton
offers degrees in the
business and finance
fields and enjoys a
worldwide reputation.
The local extension
operated from 1913 to
the 1950s, with classes
held at Coughlin High
School, Runner said.
Runner is a gradu-
ate of Wharton in
Philadelphia and for-
mer president of Penn’s
regional alumni group.
News Notes:
“Fashions and Funeral
Practice of Yesteryear”
will be on the agenda for
the next meeting of the
Genealogical Research
Society of Northeastern
Pennsylvania. The
meeting is set for 7
p.m. on July 17 at the
society’s offices, 1100
Main St., Peckville.
Presenting will be Julie
Esty and Wendy Belski.
The Northeast
P e n n s y l v a n i a
Genealogical Society
recently acquired many
volumes of the old
“Daily Bulletin” news-
paper of Hazleton.
Those volumes date
from the late 19th and
early 20th centuries.
The group will digitize
the crumbling pages,
part of its ongoing proj-
ect of preserving local
records of all kinds.
Congratulations to
the incoming slate
of officers elected
by the brand-new
Kingston Historical
Society recently. They
are President Sandra
Kase, Vice President
Joe Grimes, Secretary
Andrea Petrasek
and Treasurer Ralph
“Rusty” Seltzer. The
group will begin its first
full season of meetings
in the fall.

Tree-climbing gains popularity as full-bodyworkout
Markia A. Hart
St. Louis Tribune-Dispatch
ST. LOUIS — Tree-
climbing is emerging as a
recreational sport, similar
to rock climbing.
St. Louis instructor Guy
Mott says tree-climbing
builds muscles and can
lead to improved ﬁtness
and weight loss.
“If you engage in a tree
climb, it is a full-body
workout. It is much more
interactive and therapeutic
to be outside as opposed
to a gym,” said Mott. “It
helps people to gain an
appreciation for nature.”
Because of the rope
and harness system, par-
ticipants need only basic
physical ability, such as
being able to easily climb a
ﬂight of stairs, he said.
Mott is a certiﬁed
arborist who teaches a
class in climbing that has
been offered since last
fall through St. Louis
Community College.
Each class is three
hours.
Students get one hour of
orientation during which
they learn about trees, pro-
cedures to climb them and
the gear that is required.
With the help of a rope
and a harness, participants
spend the next two hours
reaching great heights and
accessing parts of the can-
opy typically unreachable.
Heather Allen, 34, is
a St. Louis Community
College staff member who
took the course in April.
“We learned about tree
biology, how to tie various
types of rope knots and, of
course, how to maneuver
through the tree branch-
es,” said Allen. “With the
help of the harness, we
were able to get really
high up in the trees. It was
amazing.”
Climbing begins by care-
fully placing ropes over
branches in tree crotches,
providing strong anchor
points. Each rope goes
through a leather sleeve to
protect the tree. Students
then don a tree climber’s
saddle and helmet.
Participants also have
the option to wear gloves,
which improves grip and
guards against rope burns.
Mott has a lot of outdoor
experience and a mas-
ter’s of education degree
in adventure learning from
Clemson University.
Through his business,
Adventure Tree, he has
been teaching tree climb-
ing and orchestrating
ground-based outings for
ﬁve years.
He organizes team-
building activities for cor-
porations, camps, schools
and other groups.
Bill Henske, 42, is a
t e a c h -
er at
Maplewood Richmond
Heights School District
whom Mott trained to
work with his students.
Tree-climbing, he said,
“acts as a powerful meta-
phor teaching students to
conquer challenges and
their fears.”
Mott also provides train-
ing to entry-level arborists.
Mott started out as an
electrical engineer but
decided he wanted to
direct his energy toward
helping others directly.
By teaching tree-climb-
ing and being an advocate
for exploring the outdoors,
Mott aspires to be a posi-
tive inﬂuence.
“My focus and mission
is education and therapy,”
he said.

Like any decent history,
“Pepper: A History of the
World’s Most Inﬂuential
Spice” can make one feel
horrible about being of
European descent.
But the upside is, the
book most enjoyably
opens one’s eyes about a
food that most of us com-
pletely take for granted.
Shakers and grinders
of black pepper are on
almost every Western
table and kitchen counter.
Just about every savory
recipe in every cookbook
calls for pepper — these
days, freshly ground or
cracked. We waste packets
of pepper left in bags of
fast food.
Yet how much do any of
us know about the stuff?
Marjorie Shaffer, a sci-
ence writer and editor
at New York University
School of Medicine, knew
a good topic for a popular
book when she found one.
With solid research and
solid writing, but without
overdoing it, she delivers
228 pages that make for an
easy and quite spicy sum-
mer read.
I’ve seen pepper grow-
ing, on large vines, in
India, one of the tropi-
cal locales where pepper
thrives. Ms. Shaffer writes
that “its stubborn inability
to grow elsewhere is one
of the reasons it has had
such an impact on world
history.”
That’s because once
wealthy Europeans got a
taste for this exotic dried
berry of genus Pipers,
people would do just
about anything to get
their hands on it, and do
anything to make as much
money as possible on it.
Ms. Shaffer sets it up
by laying out a completely
different time, when pep-
per represented the lost
Garden of Eden, and sauc-
iers used 20 pounds of it,
and pounds of other spic-
es of the mythical east, in
a single sauce.
The meat of the book
is the race, led by the
Portuguese in the 1500s,
and taken up by the Dutch
and the English in the
1600s, to monopolize the
pepper trade in the Indian
Ocean.
It’s a sordid tale of
cheating scales and ﬁxing
prices, attacking and sub-
jugating natives, and rap-
ing distant landscapes.
I was fascinated to think
about the sailors stuck
on voyages that would
last more than two years.
So bad were the condi-
tions that companies used
convicts, many of whom
never made it back.
Many ships did not, and
not just because of storms
and pirates. “Other ships
had to be scuttled because
they were infested with
centipedes, scorpions,
cockroaches, and innu-
merable white ants,” Ms.
Shaffer points out. “Amasa
Delano, an American sail-
or who joined the East
India Company, describes
putting in at Benkoolen in
1792 and having to sink
his ship, the Endeavor,
because it was overrun
with vermin and insects.”
But a relative few made
huge fortunes on pepper.
That included many
Americans, once our
young nation got in on
the pepper trade, which
remained tumultuous
up to the U.S. Civil War.
The book tells of Boston
black-pepper trader Elihu
Yale, who for a time was
president and governor
of Madras, and who later
donated the money to
establish Yale University.
Ms. Shaffer tacks on
a cringe-worthy chapter
about how hungry sailors
in pepper boats helped
make the Dodo extinct,
and another, in which
mankind looks a little bet-
ter, that explores pepper’s
medicinal properties.
In the end, she suc-
ceeds, as she sets out to
do, to tell not so much the
history of pepper, but rath-
er to depict how pepper
shaped so much human
history.
You’ll be amazed by all
that’s in that black dust
you’re sprinkling on so
much of your food.
‘Pepper’ history is
nothing to sneeze at
‘Last Night’ the perfect fnale
in four-part romance series
Lezlie Patterson
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
“Last Night” by
Christina Dodd;
Amazon Digital (2013),
85 pages, $2.99 (e-book)
Legend has it that
Christina Dodd’s husband
had the idea to write
about an antique bed and
the stories it could tell.
Great idea. And it was
cleverly executed by Dodd
and Connie Brockway,
who collaborated to write
four novellas set in four
different time periods,
starting with a knight just
home from the Crusades
and ending with a con-
temporary couple.
The last story, “Last
Night,” focuses on Laurel,
the curator who shared
the ﬁrst three stories
with visitors in her last
tour group of Masterson
Manor. The passionate
historian has thrived with
her research about gener-
ations of Mastersons and
is sad that the new owner
of the manor is closing
the museum and return-
ing it to a private home.
In the ﬁrst three novel-
las, she shared stories of
past lovers ﬁnding their
happily-ever-afters. Now
it’s her turn.
Throughout the ﬁrst
three stories, handyman
Max annoyed Laurel with
his mere existence. In the
ﬁnale, we ﬁnd out why.
Max and Laurel have a
history, and Max wants to
have a future. But he must
ﬁrst convince Laurel that
he’s worthy of a second
chance.
He also must keep
her safe from smugglers
and thieves who want
some of the valuables in
Masterson Manor.
There really aren’t
enough pages to fully
investigate the smug-
gling mystery, delve into
Laurel and Max’s history
and explore their future.
Rightly so, it’s the mys-
tery that gets shorted.
“Last Night” can be
enjoyed alone, but it real-
ly is the perfect ﬁnale for
a four-part series that was
clever, entertaining and
exquisitely written.

in Akron, Ohio, recently.

Cultural caravan takes Israeli
teens across the states
Colette M. Jenkins
Akron Beacon Journal
AKRON, Ohio — Iael Kuperstein is on a mission to share her Israeli culture
with people across the U.S. Midwest.
“You can bring a country, bring a culture without talking about politics,” said
Iael, 17. “This is an amazing experience — to be able to meet so many people and
make connections that leave them knowing a little bit more about Israel.”
Iael is one of 10 teens from Israel who performed a musical program as part
of The Israeli Scouts: Caravan Ariel, at the Shaw Jewish Community Center in
Akron, Ohio.
The troupe of 17-year-old teens — made up of five girls and five boys — is trav-
eling across the Midwest with two adult leaders this summer to share Israeli cul-
ture, music and dance. Since arriving in the United States on May 26, the group
has also performed in New York, New Hampshire, Maine, Tennessee, Arkansas
and Indiana.
Caravan Ariel is one of four groups of scouts that are traveling across North
America to represent Israel in a show of goodwill and friendship between the
countries via performances at churches, schools, camps, community centers, syn-
agogues, senior centers and hospitals.
All of the teens are part of Friends of Israel Scouts Inc.’s Tzofim Friendship
Caravan. The scout program is akin to the Boy and Girl Scouts of America and is
part of the World Organization for the Scout Movement. The Friendship Caravan,
which performs songs in both Hebrew and English, is celebrating its 40th anni-
versary.
Asaf Peled, one of the leaders of the troupe, said the Scouts go through a highly
competitive selection process and are chosen based on their maturity, fluency in
English, and performance skills. Hundreds of young people compete annually for
one of the spots. The teens who are selected train with professionals for a year.
The scouts stay with host families while traveling.
“This program is really important to help connect us with Jews in America and
with people in America, in general,” said Peled, 24. “We are able to share our
experiences of living in Israel with people who know nothing about Israel, people
who know little about Israel and even people who know a lot about Israel. It gives
people a chance to connect with someone who is Israeli and helps them see that
Israel is more than what they might see on the news.”
In addition to their community performances, the scouts will spend time with
summer campers at local Jewish Community Centers. During their time with the
campers, the Israeli delegates will play games, make crafts and share their experi-
ences and backgrounds in Israel.
“We invite them back annually because it is such an enriching experience for
our community,” said Todd Rockoff, executive director at the JCC. “For us, it is
a dual benefit — the community gets a wonderful, high-energy, feel-good perfor-
mance and our campers get a unique educational opportunity. It’s a wonderful
way to introduce people to Israel, by giving them an opportunity to interact with
Israeli youth.”

Johnny Depp at 50: Just happy to be around
Nicole Evatt
Associated Press
SANTA FE, N.M. — It may be difficult to separate Johnny Depp
from his “Pirates” character Jack Sparrow, but the actor recalls a
time before the boozy buccaneer became a household name.
“The films that I did prior to ‘Pirates,’ … not everything but a
lot of it, was sort of by industry standards, not blockbuster stuff.
So I wasn’t ever blockbuster material,” Depp said in a recent inter-
view.
But that’s not to say he didn’t
have fun during those years.
“I’ve been lucky enough to
be involved in some very small
and different independent films
throughout my career, and I’ve
been able to be involved in, you
know, a couple of films that
shocked everybody, especially
me,” he said.
Since 2003, Depp has played the flamboyant captain in four
hugely successful “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, with a fifth
installment slated for 2015.
At age 50, he is still one the hottest names in Hollywood and
about ready to launch another big-budget summer flick, “The
Lone Ranger.”
“The only thing I can equate it with is luck. There’s no other
reason,” he said of his career longevity. “The fact that I was able
to survive through that 15 years of just bouncing around doing
(indie) movies and now still to end up here is amazing.”
The Golden Globe-winning actor plays the famed Native
American character Tonto in the Disney reboot of “The Lone
Ranger.” He said his children, Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11, can’t
wait to see it.
“They’re pretty excited about this one,” Depp said while pro-
moting the film in Santa Fe, N.M., where part of the movie was
filmed. “You know, of course, they thought it was insane when
they watched me play Tonto, but now they’re looking forward to
this one.”
Despite his success, Depp recognizes that life on Hollywood’s
A-list can be fleeting.
“I certainly wouldn’t
expect that it is one of those
things that is going to stick
around forever and ever,” he
said. “The clock ticks, the
time’s up and the next guy
steps in or whatever, and
that’s how it goes.”
When he’s not busy mak-
ing films, Depp said music continues to be his main inspiration.
Writing, playing guitar and one-off performances with artists like
Keith Richards, Aerosmith, Black Keys, Alice Cooper and Marilyn
Manson keep his creative juices flowing.
Depp says that in the past couple of years, he’s had “sort of a
rebirth of my relationship with music. So I’ve been playing more
and writing more and it’s led to invitations to play with people.”
Depp, who celebrated his milestone birthday June 9, refuses to
take a single day for granted.
“Just to be here still is pretty amazing,” he said. “Every day
should be some sort of celebration. So yeah, I guess when you hit
50 finally … it’s just happy to still be around.”

— Johnny Depp,
Are reusable bags increasing shoplifting? One city says it’s so
Julie Chang
Austin American-Statesman
AUSTIN, Texas —
Shoplifters are taking
advantage of recent
bans on single-use bags,
prompting stores and
police in places like
Austin, Texas, to more
closely monitor reus-
able-bag-toting custom-
ers.
Store managers and
police say the ban,
which went into effect in
Austin on March 1, has
made it more difficult
for them to distinguish
between customers
and shoplifters. They
say people place items
in their reusable bags
while shopping and walk
out of the store without
paying.
While statistics in
Austin don’t show a rise
in theft, officials say the
bag ban makes it easier
for people to steal.
“We are getting a new
type of offender that is
taking advantage of the
system,” said Austin
police officer David
Silva, who worked off-
duty in March at the Wal-
Mart in South Austin.
He said shoplifters
from neighboring cit-
ies might have come to
Austin to take advan-
tage of the ban. He was
working off-duty one
night when a group of
juveniles from Taylor,
Texas, tried to push a
cart of merchandise out
of the store. Silva said
they could have gone
to a closer Wal-Mart to
shoplift but he specu-
lated that they targeted
Austin because of the
bag ban.
Many shoplifters
might be going unde-
tected, he said, because
a store official must see
a person steal to ques-
tion him.
Before the ban, a per-
son exiting a store with
loose items in a shop-
ping cart was considered
suspicious, Silva said,
but now it’s the norm,
especially among cus-
tomers who forget their
reusable bags.
Several recent arrest
affidavits have shown
that these kinds of shop-
lifters have been caught
in Austin at Wal-Mart,
Target, Whole Foods,
Randalls and H-E-B,
among other large retail-
ers.
Store managers have
said they like the bag
ban’s environmental ben-
efits, but that they have
had to be more vigilant,
making sure people are
going through check-
out lines and are show-
ing proper receipts upon
exiting.
“The only downside
is that we have to get
used to the ban,” said a
manager at one of those
retailers, who didn’t
want to be identified
because he wasn’t autho-
rized to speak on the
topic.
According to police
data, stores that police
say are among the busi-
est, such as Wal-Mart
and H-E-B, show that
the number of thefts
hasn’t changed signifi-
cantly since March 1.
Wal-Mart in Austin saw
three cases of shoplift-
ing in January, 11 in
March and nine in April,
according to police
records. The H-E-B there
saw 26 cases in January,
17 in March and 31 in
April.
The city hasn’t
received any complaints
about shoplifting and
didn’t consider it a pos-
sible downside of the
ban before it went into
effect, said Courtney
Black, a spokeswoman
for Austin Resource
Recovery, the city’s trash
and recycling depart-
ment.
“It might be some-
thing that we do more
research to see if it is
a problem, how to go
about preventing it,” she
said.
The Texas Retailers
Association, which sued
the city over the bag ban
in February and was the
only organized group
that opposed the ban,
said that, after an infor-
mal survey of their mem-
bers, retailers don’t have
enough data to make the
correlation between the
bag ban and a rise in
thefts.
“There is a lot of
speculation we can make
based on the bag ban,
but we don’t like to do
that without the hard
data,” said association
spokeswoman Jennifer
Storm. “We’re just wait-
ing it out, seeing how
the numbers come in.”
In other cities, increased
theft has been attributed
to a similar ban. Less
than a year after it went
into effect in Seattle, 1
in 5 businesses reported
an increase in shoplift-
ing due to the bag ban,
according to a survey
conducted by Seattle
Public Utilities.
Brownsville, Texas,
police spokesman J.J.
Trevino said that in the
two months after a bag
ban went into effect
there in January 2011,
shoplifters were rolling
shopping carts filled
with merchandise out of
store doors.
He said after more
stores started offering
paper bags and more
people started bringing
reusable bags, thefts
of those kinds started
dropping.
“Some of the stores
were not handing out
any type of bags ini-
tially,” Trevino said. “So
theft was a problem.”
Trevino’s department
does not have data to
back up what he suspect-
ed was an increase in
shoplifting nor do three
other police depart-
ments in cities with bag
bans.
Plus, simply looking
at shoplifting statistics
before and after a ban
isn’t enough, officials
said.
Seattle police spokes-
man Jeffrey Kappel said
it would be a lot of work
to sift through every
shoplifting case to deter-
mine if there was a link
to the plastic bag ban.
“If you showed an
increase since the bag
ban, does that mean it’s
because of the bag ban
or is it other factors like
the economy or fewer
loss-prevention people?”
he asked. “I don’t know
how you can possibly
make that connection.”

GOVERNORS ISLAND
Governors Island, a
former Coast Guard facil-
ity now used for public
recreation, offers invit-
ing lawns, old forts, con-
certs, art exhibits and
food vendors, along with
great views of Lower
Manhattan and the Statue
of Liberty. Get there by
ferry, weekends through
Sept. 29 from Manhattan
or Brooklyn, then walk or
bike around the island,
http: //www. govi sl and.

RED HOOK, BROOKLYN
One of the best views
of the Statue of Liberty
is from Red Hook, an
up-and-coming water-
front neighborhood in
Brooklyn. A cruise ter-
minal where the Queen
Mary 2 homeports is in
one corner of the neigh-
borhood, and lots of
popular eateries like the
Fort Deﬁance Bar and
Red Hook Lobster Pound
line the main street, Van
Brunt.
Oddly enough, one of
the best spots for view-
ing the Statue of Liberty
is from the parking lot of
the local Fairway super-
market, 480-500 Van
Brunt, as well as from
Fairway’s rear patio,
which sells ready-to-eat
fare. Another great van-
tage point is from Red
Hook’s Louis Valentino
Jr. Pier and Park, on
Ferris Street between
Coffey and Van Dyke, one
of the few places where
you can get a rare head-
on view of the statue,
instead of from the side.
A free ferry runs week-
ends this summer to Red
Hook from Pier 11 in
Lower Manhattan, http://
www.nywatertaxi. com/
tours/redhook. Red Hook
is also fun to explore
by bike, and it’s one of
those rare neighborhoods
where you can often ﬁnd

“Red Tour” – Lincoln Financial, Phila.
The Times LeaderWelcome
In 1962, Helen and Albert Riggle traveled
from Punxsutawney Pa to Luzerne County
looking for a location to build a Dairy Queen
Store. They found the ideal location in
Kingston at 473 Wyoming Avenue. It was
an empty lot owned by Percy Brown.
It was only used to sell Christmas trees at the holiday
season. They purchased the lot and within the next year built a Dairy Queen.
The rest is history. For 50 years, it has been a landmark in Kingston dispensing Dairy
Queen Treats and now Orange Julius too. The seasonal opening of the Dairy Queen in
Kingston is a highly anticipated event each year and signals that spring is on the way!
In 1969, they sold the store to Fred Crouse, a lifelong resident of Kingston. He was an
Elementary School Principal in the Wilkes-Barre School District at that time.
When Hurricane Agnes hit in 1972, the Dairy Queen received extensive damage. All
the equipment was destroyed as
well as all of the paper and food
products. But with the help of
his loyal employees, his parents,
and his sister and brother-in-
law, Vivian and Russ Taylor, he
was able to open the store in 17 days. International
Dairy Queen rushed in equipment and supplies and on July 10, 1972, the store
reopened to large crowds. It was the only business reopened at the time.
In 1986, the drive thru was added and business continued to build to the present rate.
Today, Mr. Crouse divides his time between Kingston and the Daytona Beach area.
The store is currently managed by Cheryl Lewis-Manager and Kevin Murphy-Assistant
Manager. They are two longtime and loyal employees supported by a staf of around
30 employees.

Marion Bartoli smiles as she holds the trophy after winning the women’s
singles final match against Sabine Lisicki at the All England Lawn Tennis
Championships in Wimbledon, London, on Saturday.
Doing it her way, France’s Bartoli wins Wimbledon
Howard Fendrich
APTennis Writer
LONDON — Ever since she
was a kid, practicing until mid-
night with her father, Marion
Bartoli went about playing
tennis her own way.
The two-handed strokes for
backhands, forehands, even
volleys. The hopping in place
and practice swings between
points, which help her focus.
The unusual setup for serves
— no ball-bouncing, arms
crossed, right wrist resting
on her left thumb before the
toss.
Whatever works, right? This
unique Wimbledon, appro-
priately enough, produced a
unique champion in the ambi-
dextrous Bartoli, the 15th-
seeded Frenchwoman who
won her ﬁrst Grand Slam title
by beating 23rd-seeded Sabine
Lisicki of Germany 6-1, 6-4
Saturday in an error-ﬁlled,
one-sided ﬁnal that was far
from a classic.
“It’s always been a part of
my personality to be different.
I think being just like the other
one is kind of boring. I really
embrace the fact of being a
bit different and doing some-
thing that not everyone is,”
said the 28-year-old Bartoli,
who plays tennis right-handed
but signs autographs with her
left. “I actually love that part
of my game, being able to have
something different.”
She certainly stands alone.
This was Bartoli’s 47th
Grand Slam tournament, the
most ever played by a woman
before earning a champion-
ship.
She is the only woman in
the 45-year Open era to win
Wimbledon playing two-ﬁsted
shots off both wings (Monica
Seles, Bartoli’s inspiration for
that unusual style, collected
her nine major titles else-
where).
Until Saturday, it had been
more than 1½ years since
Bartoli won a tournament at
any level.
Until these last two weeks,
Bartoli’s record in 2013 was
14-12, and she had failed to
make it past the quarterﬁnals
anywhere.
Asked how to explain how
she went from that sort of
mediocre season to winning
seven matches in a row at
Wimbledon, never dropping a
set, Bartoli brieﬂy closed her
eyes, then laughed heartily.
“Well,” Bartoli said, spread-
ing her arms wide, “that’s me!”
Unlike Lisicki, a ﬁrst-time
major ﬁnalist who was admit-
tedly overwhelmed by the
occasion and teared up in the
second set, Bartoli already
had been on this stage, with
the same stakes. Back in 2007,
Bartoli won only ﬁve games
during a two-set loss to Venus
Williams in the Wimbledon
ﬁnal.

Solid Pineda leads
RailRiders to victory
Fred Adams | For The Times Leader
Rehabing Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda was on the mound for
the RailRiders with rehabbing teammate, shortstop Derek Jeter, in
the background during the game against the IronPigs on Saturday
night at PNC Field.
Dave Rosengrant
[email protected]
MOOSIC — Derek
Jeter’s rehab appearance
attracted all the hoopla on
Saturday night.
But there was another
rehabbing Yankee who
didn’t want to be forgot-
ten about. Right-hander
Michael Pineda made his
ﬁfth start as he attempts
to reach the major leagues
for the ﬁrst time since
2011 when he pitched for
Seattle.
Acquired from the
Mariners before the
2012 season in the Jesus
Montero deal, Pineda
missed all of last season
with shoulder issues,
eventually needing sur-
gery for a torn labrum.
After a rough first
inning, he rebounded
to toss four scoreless
frames, leading the
RailRiders to a 4-2 vic-
tory over Lehigh Valley
at PNC Field.
The IronPigs got to
Pineda in the first inning
for two runs, taking
advantage of the 24-year-
old’s command issues.
After a leadoff infield
single, Pineda got an
out then allowed a walk,
uncorked a wild pitch,
got the second out and
walked another to load
the bases. That’s when
Leandro Castro blooped
a two-run double to put
Lehigh Valley in front
2-0.
Pineda settled down
a bit in the second, get-
ting the first two bat-
ters on strikeouts. A few
batters reached on an
error and a single in the
inning, but no runs were
scored.
After the second, he
only gave up one hit
the rest of the way and
faced just one batter
over the minimum. In
his five innings of work,
he gave up just four hits,
two runs, two walks and
fanned seven to pick up
the win.
The RailRider offense
helped out Pineda, scor-
ing a run in the second
and three more in the
third. Thomas Neal was
the big bat for SWB in
both frames. In the sec-
ond, he drove in Dan
Johnson with a double
to trim Lehigh Valley’s
lead to 2-1. Then in the
third, he knocked in two
Dave Rosengrant
[email protected]
MOOSIC — The
RailRiders sure know
how to mark a special
occasion.
And Saturday marked
the biggest event for
the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre baseball team this
season as it welcomed
rehabbing future Hall of
Fame shortstop Derek
Jeter to Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
A sellout crowd of
10,000 at PNC Field
was electric and saw the
Yankees captain go 0-for-2
with a walk in three plate
appearances. Defensively,
he played ﬁve innings on
his surgically-repaired
left ankle, ﬁelding just
one grounder.
“It felt ﬁne. I didn’t do
much,” Jeter said about
his ankle.
Jeter, who last visited
the area in 1996 as a
member of the Columbus
Clippers, was treated like
royalty for the outing. He
will be the RailRiders des-
ignated hitter for today’s
1:05 p.m. game.
The RailRiders went
all out, hanging ceremo-
nial red, white and blue
banners off the second
deck and using a record-
ing of late Yankee public
address announcer Bob
Sheppard to announce
Jeter prior to his at-bats
instead of normal PA
announcer Dean Corwin
doing the honors to make
him feel right at home.
Jeter drew a ﬁve-pitch
walk in his ﬁrst at-bat,
leading off the game for
the RailRiders against
Lehigh Valley left-hander
Raul Valdes. He didn’t get
a chance to run the bases
in the inning, though,
as the next three batters
struck out.
In his second plate
appearance, Jeter took a
ﬁrst-pitch ball before hit-
ting a hard liner to the
right side that was caught
by the second baseman.
His third plate appear-
ance was similar to the
second. In the bottom of
the fourth, he looked at
another ball to start the
at-bat before hitting a
hard grounder to third.
He was out on the play,
but showed good hustle
running out of the bat-
ter’s box.
“It was maybe the only
time I got a standing ova-
tion for grounding out,”
the perennial all-star
said. “But it’s going to be
like that getting cheered
every time.”
His only assist in the
inﬁeld came in the top of
the ﬁfth with two outs.
He moved to his left and
ﬂipped underhanded to
get a force out at second.
“Next time I go out it
might be 10 groundballs,”
he said. “You never know.
I tested it (ﬁelding) a
little bit during batting
practice.”
Jeter’s last visit to the
area came during the 1995
Triple-A All-Star Game
played at then-named
Lackawanna County
Stadium. He doesn’t
recall much from that
appearance when he went
1-for-3 with a run scored.

For The Times Leader
A Preferred Mares Pace and Trot are the featured attractions
on a solid 15-race Sunday night slate at The Mohegan Sun at
Pocono Downs. The mares will be led to post by locally stabled
Economy Terror. This classy 4-year-old millionaire just seemed
to be rounding into form before her bout with sickness. Judging
by her outstanding qualiﬁer, this Chris Oakes-trained pacer is
ready to go.
Sevruga leads a ﬁeld of six others to the gate in the co-featured
12th race. The 5-year-old gelded son of SJ’s Caviar has made a
living on both the small tracks and the mile oval. Trained by
Julie Miller, Sevruga has had some marvelous miles in his career.
Perhaps his ﬁnest moment was his 1:51 victory over a superb
ﬁeld in the $180,000 Cutler Final back on May 18.
Look for both these horses to make a statement and gain qual-
ity track time leading to the Breeders Crown in October.
BEST BET: BLISSFULL DREAMER (8TH)

It was just two weeks ago that
Hazleton’s Russ Canzler was at
PNC Field helping Norfolk take two
games out of four from Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre.
Just two years removed from
being International League MVP
and just a few months after going
through a whirlwind of an offsea-
son in which he spent time with
four organizations, the 27-year-old
was designated for assignment by
Baltimore on Saturday.
Canzler was hitting .276 with 11
home runs and 49 RBI for the Tides
playing in 86 of their 88 games this
season seeing time at designated
hitter, ﬁrst base and the outﬁeld.
In the four games he played at PNC
Field at the end of June he went 7-for-
16 with a home run, two doubles,
four RBI and four runs scored. That
had been one of the bright spots for
the normally slow starter.
Over his last 10 games he started
to pick things up with three multi-
hit games in that span. He became
expendable when the Orioles acquired
ﬁrst baseman/third baseman Alex
Liddi from Seattle on Saturday. To
make room on the 40-man roster for
the 24-year-old Liddi, Canzler was the
odd man out. Liddi was designated for
assignment last week by the Mariners.
That’s a process Canzler will have
to go through now.
The Orioles will have 10 days to
trade or release the 2004 Hazleton
Area grad. If he’s claimed off waiv-
ers, the Orioles will try to work out
a deal with that team. If he clears
waivers, he will have to accept an
outright assignment to the minors.
It seems unlikely that Canzler will
pass through waivers as he was in
high demand during the offseason.
When he was DFA’d during that
time on four different occasions he
was picked up nearly immediately.
He was ofﬁcially part of Cleveland,
Toronto and the New York organi-
zations before getting picked up by
Baltimore.

CRAIN GAME
Our weekly look at the work of
RailRiders president Rob Crain, who has
given us back our baseball — with a side
order of promotions and entertainment.
BEST OF THE WEEK: There were
just three home games last week and
the best was hands down the appear-
ance by future Hall of Famer Derek
Jeter. Crain and the RailRiders rolled
out the red carpet for the Yankee cap-
tain with everything but the red car-
pet. Jeter was treated to a recording
of deceased Yankee PA announcer Bob
Sheppard doing the honors of letting
the sellout crowd aware of who was at
bat. Ceremonial red, white and blue
banners hung from the second deck
and the night was capped with the
third straight ﬁreworks show.
MISSED OPPORTUNITY: When
you have two sellouts in three home
games and another game attracting
more than 7,000 fans, there’s not much
to miss out on.
If there was one thing that possibly
could have been improved it would
have been to literally roll out the red
carpet for Jeter. How about a red path
leading from the dugout to the batter’s
box prior to each of his at bats giving
one of the greatest shortstops in the
history of Major League Baseball the
whole royal treatment?
COMING UP: There’s nearly a
full week of games at PNC Field as
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre heads into the
all-star break. There are six games at
the ballpark as the longest homestand
of the season continues.
Tuesday is a camp day game with a
special start time of 12:05 p.m. Perhaps
the best promotion of the week ahead is
on Thursday when adult softball is also
celebrated. It doesn’t seem like a coin-
cidence that adult softball night hap-
pens to fall on Thirsty Thursday. If that
promotion seems aimed mainly at men
don’t worry, Friday is a special night for
the females with Ladies Night.
THE WEEK AHEAD
RAILRIDERS EXTRA
By now just about everyone is aware
that Yankees captain Derek Jeter could
be in a RailRider uniform during the
duration of the homestand that runs
through Friday. There’s more reasons
than the perennial all-star possibly
being at PNC Field for six more games.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre looks to remain
hot over the next seven days to try to
keep gaining ground in the I.L. North
Division standings. The RailRiders
will have a good opportunity to do so
playing divisional teams until the All-
Star break.
Here’s a look at what the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre RailRiders will encounter
in the next seven days.
Rochester Red Wings
Once the IronPigs leave PNC Field
after this afternoon’s contest, the
Triple-A afﬁliate of the Minnesota Twins
comes to Moosic for the next three days.
The Red Wings, who have had their
struggles this season, have been on a
roll lately, entering Saturday with a .500
record and have climbed out of the divi-
sion’s basement and into third place, two
games ahead of the RailRiders.
Having won 15 of their last 24 games,
the Red Wings’ inﬁelder Chris Colabello
continues to rake, leading the league in
two of the Triple Crown categories. His
.359 batting average and 67 RBI pace
the I.L., while his 21 home runs are sec-
ond in the league and just three behind
the league leader. With the Twins drop-
ping in the American League Central
standings beginning Saturday on a six-
game losing streak, it may be a matter
of time before Rochester’s slugger gets
called up to the majors once again.
Syracuse Chiefs
The Chiefs, who are currently in
last place in the division, have been
as hot as the RailRiders; both teams
have won seven of their last 10 begin-
ning play on Saturday. The top afﬁliate
of the Nationals, though, is still 15.5
games out of ﬁrst place and ﬁve behind
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The teams
square off on Thursday and Friday to
close out the RailRiders’ longest home-
stand of the season.
Jeff Kobernus, recently sent back
to Syracuse from Washington, is hav-
ing a solid season for the Chiefs. The
outﬁelder is batting .333 in 49 Triple-A
games. His biggest asset has been on
the basepaths where he’s been causing
problems. Not only has he been getting
on base at a good clip with an on base
percentage of .385, he’s a speed demon
having stolen 23 bases for Syracuse.
Buffalo Bisons
Right before the All-Star break, the
RailRiders take a trip to Buffalo to
face Toronto’s afﬁliate for two games
starting on Saturday. The teams just
wrapped up a two-game stint at PNC
Field with SWB claiming both contests
to improve their season record against
the Bisons to 5-3.

MOOSIC — Less than a
month ago, the RailRiders
were nine games under
.500 – the worst for
the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre franchise since the
Yankees took over in 2007.
The team was ﬂailing
in the standings a season-
high 14.5 games out of ﬁrst
place in the International
League North Division
with a roster full of several
newcomers.
The roster was in such
limbo that the team was
part of a transaction for
13 out of 14 days from
June 13-25 with 29 play-
ers involved being signed,
disabled, activated, called
up, sent down or acquired
via trade. It’s understand-
able that with that much
movement a team could
struggle.
“It’s not always easy when
you have new guys popping
in and out, but I think it’s
been pretty easy because
of the personalities that are
in here,” said RailRiders
catcher J.R. Murphy, who
is one of those new faces
after getting promoted
from Double-A Trenton on
June 13. “Nobody’s selﬁsh
and everybody’s just kind
of a team guy. Even though
everybody’s separately in
their careers at different
levels and different times in
their careers, we’re all here
for the same reason. It’s
pretty easy getting along
when guys are like that.”
Murphy’s advancement
to Triple-A was the start
of the roster reformation.
And as New York was hit
with more injuries that
meant more turnover as
outﬁelders Thomas Neal
and Zoilo Almonte and
pitcher Chris Bootcheck
soon earned the call to the
big leagues. That trio was
all performing well at the
time and a promotion was
expected at some point.
Neal and Bootcheck, who
will represent the I.L.
in the Triple-A All-Star
Game, have since returned
to the club.
What wasn’t expected
was who took their places.
Outﬁelder Cody Grice
and inﬁelder Dan Fiorito,
who hadn’t played above
Single-A in their profes-
sional careers, started to
see signiﬁcant playing
time. While those two
did execute for the most
part when called upon for
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, it
was probably too much to
ask of those youngsters.
And so other additions
began. Randy Ruiz, a vet-
eran 35-year-old slugger
who had spent time with
11 other organizations,
arrived on the scene,
being lured away from
the Mexican League. He
offered much-needed pro-
tection for Dan Johnson,
who was getting pitched
around nearly every
game. That has paid huge
dividends as he’s slugged
seven home runs in just 21
games prior to Saturday.
Then came veteran out-
ﬁelder Corey Patterson,
who signed by the Yankees
after he was released by
Seattle. His speed has
been a big boost for the
RailRiders as he’s con-
stantly trying to reach
base using his bunting
skills. He’s also hit a home
run and reached base in 10
of the 14 games in which
he’s played and scored
nine runs.
Left-handed reliever
Mike Zagurski, known
best for his time with
Philadelphia, was signed
the same day as Patterson
after being released by
Pittsburgh. Trades began
as well with the ﬁrst
acquisition being reliev-
er Yoshinori Tateyama
from Texas. Outﬁelder
Fernando Martinez, a
once prized prospect in
the Mets organization,
was traded from Houston,
and veteran inﬁelder
Brent Lillibridge was
acquired from the Chicago
Cubs.
Zagurski has gone 3-1
for the RailRiders, while
Tateyama has added a
win and whiffed nine
over his eight innings
of work. Martinez, who
is only 24-years-old, has
shown why he was a top
prospect, reaching base
in 15 of 17 games with
the RailRiders and bat-
ting .338 with three home
runs, 15 RBI and eight
runs scored while playing
a stellar right ﬁeld.
Add in Lillibridge, who
has hit ﬁve home runs in
13 games for SWB with
a .333 average and the
RailRiders have been
streaking lately winning,
10 of 15 games to pull
within 10.5 games of ﬁrst-
place Pawtucket.
“A lot of guys are say-
ing that they’re the rea-
son we’re starting to play
well,” Murphy added.
“Because we’ve had so
many new faces so it’s
fun.”
After the sluggish
stretch in June, the
RailRiders may have dug
too deep of a hole to get
out of in order to reach
the playoffs. They have
just 56 games remaining
on the schedule and in
order to reach 84 wins,
which earned Pawtucket
the wild card spot last
year, SWB would have to
go 42-14 the rest of the
way.
That’s not an impossible
mark to reach since more
help will be on the way.
The RailRiders received
rehabbing Yankees Derek
Jeter and Michael Pineda
on Saturday. It’s possible
they get other rehab-
bing stars such as Alex
Rodriguez and Curtis
Granderson. When those
assignments conclude that
means moves will have to
be made in New York and
that likely means addi-
tions to the roster from a
Yankees team that is start-
ing to get hot.
All that could be the
perfect recipe to get the
RailRiders on the playoff
track.

But Kanaan knows that
winning at Pocono won’t
be easy.
“It’s going to be dif-
ﬁcult,” Kanaan said
after qualifying ﬁfth on
Saturday, “but my boss
keeps telling me all the
time that’s why I get paid
the big bucks.”
The big bucks for win-
ning the Triple Crown
comes from former pro
golfer Fuzzy Zoeller’s vodka
company. But the idea for
the competition came from
Pocono Raceway CEO
Brandon Igdalsky.
“When the conversa-
tion started about bring-
ing Indy cars back (to
Pocono), I said if we are
going to do this, we have
to bring the Triple Crown
back,” Igdalsky said.
The Triple Crown
included the races at
Indianapolis, Pocono and
Ontario, Calif., from 1971
through 1980 and Indy,
Pocono and Michigan
from 1981 through 1989.
But when the Indy cars
left Pocono after the 1989
season, the Triple Crown
bonus ended.
None of that history will
mean much to Kanaan
once the green ﬂag drops
today just after noon. He
will just be trying to ﬁgure
out a way to win the race.
And like he said, it’s not
going to be easy.
“They don’t call it the
‘Tricky Triangle’ for noth-
ing,” Kanaan said of the
track. “It’s exciting.
“Three different cor-
ners around this track, it’s
deﬁnitely tricky. You are
not going to have a good
car in all (the corners).”
Kanaan’s season has
been a bit tricky itself.
He hasn’t won since
Indianapolis, but does
have top-10 ﬁnishes in
the last three races.
He currently sits in
ﬁfth place in the race
for the championship, 79
points behind series lead-
er Helio Castroneves.
And for a while on
Saturday, it looked like he
would take the pole of top
qualiﬁer Marco Andretti,
but he ran into tire prob-
lems on his second quali-
fying lap.
“I overcooked them,”
Kanaan. “I opened my lap
too quick.
“When you are running
this level of downforce,
you have to save your
tires on the opening lap
and I didn’t.”
Still, starting in the
second row of the three-
wide starting grid doesn’t
bother Kanaan. Even with
Andretti and his team-
mates Ryan Hunter-Reay
and James Hinchcliffe in
front of him, Kanaan is
conﬁdent.
“I won Indy from Row
4, so I can win from Row
2 here,” he said.
The three-wide start
doesn’t concern Kanaan,
either.
“This straight away is
longer than Indy,” Kanaan
said. “It’s wide. I don’t see
a problem doing it.
“But it’s deﬁnitely
going to be different.”
Kanaan added that the
drivers are going to have
to remember that it’s a
400-mile race. It can’t be
won in the ﬁrst laps.
“We can’t get greedy,”
he said. “We have to
respect each other.”
A little respect and a
little luck and Kanaan
will be one step closer to
$1 million.
“The Sunoco Car is pret-
ty good, so we’re going for
the Triple Crown,” he said.

LONG POND —
Andretti Autosport won
just about everything
there was to win Saturday
at Pocono Raceway.
First, Marco Andretti
took the pole for today’s
Pocono IndyCar 400
Fueled by Sunoco and
watched as his teammates
locked down the rest of
the ﬁrst row.
Then in the Indy Lights
race Saturday afternoon,
Andretti driver Carlos
Munoz dominated, scor-
ing an easy wire-to-wire
victory.
“I’m sure he’s really
happy to be back on the
podium,” Munoz said.
Munoz, who earlier
this year ﬁnished sec-
ond at the Indianapolis
500, won by over 16 sec-
onds over second-place
ﬁnisher Sage Karam, a
high school senior from
Nazareth.
“I was just really fast
all week,” said Munoz. “I
was just really consistent
all race.”
It was the third win of
the season for Munoz,
and one that Karam knew
he was going to get all
along.
“Carlos had a really great
car all weekend,” Karam
said. “I just really couldn’t
keep up with him.”
The victory enabled
Munoz to overtake
Karam in the Indy Lights
point race. He now leads
Karam by four points.
DANICA WHO?
Even though Danica
Patrick raced in Coca
Cola 400 at Daytona
Saturday night, there are
still a couple of drivers
for young women with
dreams of climbing into a
race car to look up to at
Pocono today.
Simona De Silvestro
will start on the inside
of the fourth row in her
Nuclear Energy Areva
Chevrolet.
Unfortunately for De
Silvestro, she’s not a huge
fan of racing on ovals.
“It is just really tricky all
the way around,” said the
24-year-old from Mont-
Sur-Rolle, Switzerland,
and teammate of Indy 500
winner Tony Kanaan.
She currently sits in
18th place in the champi-
onships points race.
Also in the race is Pipa
Mann, who will start
19th.
NOT BORING AT
ALL
Helio Castroneves has
something to say about
fans that don’t think
Pocono’s layout makes for
exciting racing.
They don’t know what
they are talking about,
according to the current
IndyCar points leader.
“It’s extremely difﬁ-
cult to drive this type of
track,” he said. “You have
to be very particular and
keep the same line for
nearly 200 laps. And the
car is very unforgiving.
“For those people that
don’t realize that, they
just want to see a big
mess out there.”
EYE ON THE BENCH
Driver Ed Carpenter
took time out from prep-
ping for the Pocono 400
on Friday to check out
the Boston Celtics new
coach.
The Celtics hired Butler
coach Brad Stevens.
Carpenter, a Butler grad-
uate and a close friend
of Stevens, wasn’t about
to miss the coach’s ﬁrst
press conference with his
new team.
“He did a great job, he
always does,” the driver
of the No. 20 Fuzzy’s
Vodka Chevrolet said
Saturday morning. “I’m
eager to see who the next
Butler coach is.”
He didn’t have to wait
long.
The school named
Brandon Miller, a former
point guardfor the Bulldogs,
coach later in the day.
Carpenter was happy
for his friend.
“I feel great for Brad,”
he said. “It’s a great
opportunity for him.”
HELPING HAND
A.J. Foyt may not be
at Pocono this weekend,
but that doesn’t mean he
didn’t give his driver any
insight on Pocono’s tri-
oval layout.
“We talked about it
before I came here, know-
ing A.J. is the master of
it,” said Takuma Sato,
who drives Foyt’s No.
14 ABC Supply Honda.
“Obviously it’s a differ-
ent time and the track
has been resurfaced, but
overall the characteristics
are the same.
“He gave me little tips
on how you set up the
car targeting Turn 1 and
Turn 3.”
Foyt is recovering from
hip surgery at his home in
Houston. He was released
from the hospital on
Wednesday, and doctors
say it will be six to eight
weeks before he can trav-
el. He has won four times
at Pocono, including his
last victory in an Indy car
in 1981.
Sato is just glad that
Foyt had a chance to
share his wisdom.
“I’m happy to take
any advice he gives me
because he has great
eyes to see really what’s
happening,” Sato said.
“Even though he drove in
a different time, his com-
ments are really accurate
and I love it.”
Andretti teamcleans up at track
“It’s just tremendous,”
said Andretti, 26, who
lives near his grandfather
in Bushkill Township. “I’ve
taken a huge liking to this
place the second I rolled
off here at the ﬁrst test. I
really think the IndyCar
was built for this track.
“It became my favorite
track.”
In the blink of an eye,
it’s easy to see why.
Andretti zipped around
Pocono in 40.6547 sec-
onds during his second
time around the track
Saturday, giving him the
day’s fastest lap and solid-
ifying his No. 1 start spot
for today with a cumula-
tive time of 1:21.3437.
His average speed was
221.273 mph, the fastest
among the ﬁeld of 24 cars.
“It’s so different end
to end and lap to lap,”
Andretti said of the
Pocono track, which will
welcome back IndyCar
racing today for the ﬁrst
time since 1989. “You real-
ly have to chase the tools
in the car. And that was
on my own, without any
other cars on the track.”
A couple of his Andretti
Autosport teammates will
be chasing the leader at
the start.
Ryan Hunter-Reay and
James Hinchcliffe joined
Andretti for a sweep of
the three front-row start-
ing spots for today’s 160-
lap race, which begins at
12:15 p.m.
Golﬁng great Fuzzy
Zoeller will serve as the
race’s grand marshal and
honorary starter, trading
fairways for the Pocono
straightaways for a day.
“I am looking forward to
that,” Zoeller said. “As far
as this grand marshal stuff,
what are my duties? It’s
‘Drivers, start your engines,’
right? I can do this.”
Hunter-Reay did a cred-
ible job in qualifying, as
he ﬁnished with an aver-
age speed of 220.892
mph, while Hinchcliffe
averaged 220.431 mph.
“I always know my
teammates are going to
be strong,” Andretti said.
Some guys came out a
little too strong.
E.J. Viso, who’s also
a member of Andretti
Autosport, wiggled mid-
way through Turn 1, did
a half-spin and struck the
SAFER Barrier.
“The rear of the car
stepped out,” said Viso,
who climbed from the car
without assistance. “I con-
trolled it for a little bit and it
stepped out again. The sec-
ond time, there was nothing
I could do. I would like to
review what happened.”
Alex Tagliani of Bryan
Herta Autosport also
crashed on Turn 1, brush-
ing the SAFER barrier
ﬁrst before spinning and
hitting it with the back
of his Barracuda Racing
Honda.
Herta was helped from
the wreck, but cleared to
drive today. He’ll start at
the back of the ﬁeld along
with Viso.
“They don’t call it the
Tricky Triangle for noth-
ing,” said driver Tony
Kanaan, who wll start
ﬁfth in his Verizon Team
Penske Chevrolet.
The Andrettis con-
quered it long ago.
Mario Andretti actually
ran the ﬁrst lap in an Indy
car at Pocono Raceway
long before it was paved
for racing, taking the con-
tractor for a ride to point
out some problems that
needed to be ﬁxed. The
racing legend also ran the
ﬁrst lap of the ﬁrst paved
race at Pocono and won
the Pocono pole in 1987
at 200.915 mph.
Michael Andretti won
the Pocono pole in 1986
at 205.724 mph.
Now Marco Andretti
keeps the family tradition
of pole position alive at
Pocono.
“I’m sure it’s going to
help,” said Pocono Raceway
president andCEOBrandon
Igdalsky, expecting a boost
in attendance for the race
with Andretti leading it off.
“We’ll deﬁnitely see a spike.
That name in this part of
the woods means a lot.
Knowing his grandfather
was the ﬁrst person to turn
a lap here, it’s pretty excit-
ing.”
Not as thrilling as a vic-
tory today would be to
Marco Andretti.
“It means a lot to me,”
Marco said of continuing the
Andretti legacy at Pocono.
“This is the ﬁrst place
where, besides Milwaukee, I
was able to get a pole where
they did. But (today) is the
one we want.
“That would be icing on
the cake.”

Yankees slip
past Orioles
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Andy
Pettitte stopped the Orioles
once again, Eduardo Nunez
returned with a go-ahead hit
and the New York Yankees beat
Baltimore 5-4 Saturday for a
season-high sixth straight win.
The Yankees overcame Chris
Davis’ major league-leading
33rd home run and yet another
double from Manny Machado,
who was celebrating his 21st
birthday. The Orioles have lost
four of ﬁve.
The 41-year-old Pettitte
(6-6) earned his 251st win,
tying Hall of Famer Bob
Gibson for 44th place on the
all-time list.
Pettitte stretched his unbeat-
en streak against Baltimore
to 11 starts dating to 2007,
winning eight times. Overall,
he is 28-6 against the Orioles
— only Yankees great Whitey
Ford (30) has beaten the Birds
more often since the fran-
chise moved from St. Louis to
Baltimore for the 1954 season.
Mariano Rivera worked the
ninth for his 29th save.
Nunez came off the 60-day
disabled list before the game
and played for the ﬁrst time
since a strain on his left side
slowed him in early May. His
key hit helped end a seven-
game winning streak by Chris
Tillman (10-3). Nunez had a
sac ﬂy in the second, singled
and scored in the ﬁfth and
knocked in the go-ahead run
with a single in the sixth.
tigers 9, indians 4
CLEVELAND — Torii
Hunter drove in three runs,
Miguel Cabrera cracked a two-
run homer and Detroit domi-
nated Cleveland for its ﬁfth
straight win.
Hunter hit a two-run homer,
tripled and doubled as the
Tigers won their seventh
straight over the Indians and
increased their lead in the AL
Central to 3½ games. Detroit
is 8-2 against Cleveland, and
the Tigers have outscored the
Indians 16-4 in winning the
ﬁrst two of the four-game set.
Anibal Sanchez (7-5)
returned from the disabled list
and pitched ﬁve innings for his
ﬁrst win since June 4.
twins 6, Blue Jays 0
TORONTO — Brian Dozier
hit a three-run home run, Mike
Pelfrey and three relievers
combined for a four-hitter and
Minnesota beat Toronto.
Dozier had two hits and four
RBIs, connecting off knuck-
leballer R.A. Dickey for his
eighth homer as the Twins
snapped a six-game skid and
won for just the fourth time in
14 games.
Minnesota came in hav-
ing lost 17 of 23 to Toronto,
including eight of nine at
Rogers Centre.
Pelfrey (4-6) snapped an
eight-start winless streak to
earn his ﬁrst victory since May
5 at Cleveland. He allowed
three hits in six innings,
walked three and struck out
two.
Dickey (8-9) gave up six
runs and seven hits in seven
innings. He struck out three.
Royals 4, athletics 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
Jarrod Dyson delivered an
inﬁeld single with the bases
loaded and two outs in the
eighth inning, giving Kansas
City a scrappy victory over
Oakland.
The Royals had rallied to tie
the game on a sacriﬁce ﬂy by
Eric Hosmer in the seventh,
and then loaded the bases on
an error and a pair of walks by
reliever Ryan Cook.

Cubs 4, Pirates 1
CHICAGO — Alfonso
Soriano hit two-run homers in
consecutive innings to lead the
Chicago Cubs to a victory over
the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Edwin Jackson and three
relievers combined on a ﬁve-
hitter, and the Cubs handed
the Pirates their third loss in
14 games. Pittsburgh came in
with baseball’s best record and
a seven-game, road-winning
streak.
Soriano hit a drive off
Charlie Morton in the fourth
and a shot into the bleachers
in left to make it 4-1 in the
ﬁfth.
That was enough for
Jackson (5-10), who won his
second straight start. He held
the Pirates to one run and four
hits in 5 2-3 innings.
Matt Guerrier worked two
scoreless innings, and Kevin
Gregg came on in the ninth for
his 15th save in 16 chances.
Morton (1-2) pitched six
innings for Pittsburgh, allow-
ing four runs and seven hits.
He struck out six and walked
three.
Cardinals 5, Marlins 4
ST. LOUIS — Jon Jay scored
from ﬁrst on right ﬁelder
Giancarlo Stanton’s throwing
error on Shane Robinson’s sin-
gle with two outs in the ninth
inning, giving St. Louis a win
over Miami.
Edward Mujica (1-1) worked
a scoreless ninth for the
Cardinals after Matt Adams’
pinch-hit, two-run homer tied
it two innings earlier.
Jay drew a full-count walk off
A.J. Ramos (3-3) with two outs
in the ninth and took third eas-
ily on Robinson’s pinch-hit sin-
gle. He scored without a play
after Stanton hesitated before
throwing a relay that skipped
under Logan Morrison’s glove
at ﬁrst base.
nationals 5, Padres 4
WASHINGTON — Bryce
Harper drove in three runs
after talking his way into the
lineup, Ryan Zimmerman
knocked in the go-ahead run,
and Washington rallied to beat
San Diego.
Adam LaRoche homered,
and Denard Span and Ian
Desmond added two hits
apiece as the Nationals won
their third straight. Since
returning from the disabled
list and homering in his ﬁrst
at-bat Monday night against
Milwaukee, Harper had gone
0 for 18 before his RBI single.
Jesus Guzman hit a three-
run homer and doubled for
San Diego.
Ross Ohlendorf (2-0) got
the win and Rafael Soriano
pitched the ninth for his 24th
save.

Reds 13, Mariners 4
CINCINNATI — Cesar
Izturis drove in three runs,
matching his season total, and
Mat Latos doubled home two
more for Cincinnati, which ral-
lied for a win over Seattle.
The Reds earned only their
second victory over Seattle.
The Mariners are 9-2 overall in
the interleague series.
Cincinnati manager Dusty
Baker decided to give Izturis
his ninth start at shortstop so
he could get some at-bats.

Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan celebrate after beating Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo to win the men’s dou-
bles final match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon, London, on Saturday.
Eddie Pells
AP National Writer
LONDON — The
Bryan brothers got big
air at Wimbledon on
Saturday.
Yes, there was a little
more room than usual
between their feet and
the ground for their lat-
est version of the “Bryan
Bump” — the famed
chest bump they use to
celebrate their victories
— because of what that
victory meant.
Their 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4
win over Ivan Dodig and
Marcelo Melo wrapped
up the Bryan Slam, mak-
ing the 35-year-old identi-
cal twins from California
the ﬁrst men’s doubles
team in the history of
Open-era tennis to hold
all four major titles at the
same time.
“It just feels like we’re
adding nuts and whipped
cream and cherries to our
great career,” Bob Bryan
said. “We said that a few
years ago: If we retire
today, we feel like we’ve
done it all. Let’s go have
some fun and add to
whatever this is.”
They now have 15
Grand Slam tournament
victories, improving on
the record they broke
at the Australian Open
when they surpassed
John Newcombe and
Tony Roche as the win-
ningest men’s pairing of
all time. It’s their third
Wimbledon title and the
victory made the Bryans
the ﬁrst team to hold all
the slams along with an
Olympic gold medal.
If they win the U.S. Open
in September, they’ll join
Ken McGregor and Frank
Sedgman as the second
men’s team to complete a
calendar Grand Slam. The
Aussie duo did it in 1951,
17 years before the Open
era began, and ended up
winning seven titles in a
row before the streak was
snapped at the 1952 U.S.
Open.
“I didn’t think anything
could feel as sweet as
the gold medal, but this
one just feels like there’s
a cap, a lid, or a ribbon
around our career,” Mike
Bryan said. “It’s pretty
cool. It’s something we
never dreamed of, to try
to win four in a row. It’s
too hard to dominate in
doubles.”
Taking Centre Court
against a new doubles
pairing of the Croatian,
Dodig, and the Brazilian,
Melo, the top-seeded
Bryan brothers came out
shaky. Lowlighted by a
whiff on a volley attempt
by Mike, they fell behind
5-0 on their way to losing
the ﬁrst set.
But they got a pair of
breaks in the second to
even things up, then got
a break apiece in the next
two sets for the win. The
ﬁnal one came when Mike
Bryan, the right-hander,
hit a forehand down the
middle for a clean winner,
then high-stepped it off
the court to the sideline
for one, ﬁnal change of
ends.
His brother served out
the match and after match
point — a 129-mph ace
— the brothers jumped as
high as they can remem-
ber while performing
their chest bump.
It’s a move they bor-
rowed from the Jensen
brothers — the popu-
lar 1993 French Open
champions who, like the
Bryans, had their own
rock band and liked to
play to the crowd. They
Bryans started using
it regularly when they
played college tennis at
Stanford.
“The fraternity guys
were calling for it,” Mike
Bryan said. “I think it
was on the cover of the
Stanford Daily. … They
called it the ‘Bryan
Bump.’ We kept doing it.”
Brothers wrap up the‘Bryan Slam’
“I know how it feels,
Sabine,” Bartoli said dur-
ing the on-court trophy
ceremony. “And I’m sure,
believe me, you’ll be there
one more time. I have no
doubt about it.”
Bartoli became the ﬁrst
woman in the Open era to
win Wimbledon without
facing anyone seeded in
the top 10 — her highest-
rated opponent was No.
17 Sloane Stephens of the
United States in the quarter-
ﬁnals. That’s in part because
of all of the injuries and sur-
prises, including exits for
No. 2 Victoria Azarenka,
No. 3 Maria Sharapova,
No. 5 Sara Errani, No. 7
Angelique Kerber, No. 9
Caroline Wozniacki and No.
10 Maria Kirilenko by the
end of the second round.
Lisicki, meanwhile, used
her game built for grass
— fast serves, stinging
returns, superb court cov-
erage — to end defending
champion and top-seeded
Serena Williams’ 34-match
winning streak in the fourth
round. Lisicki also eliminat-
ed past major champions
Francesca Schiavone and
Sam Stosur, along with No.
4 Agnieszka Radwanska,
last year’s runner-up.
But Lisicki was an
entirely different player
Sunday, rattled by every
little thing, even the walk
downstairs from the lock-
er room to Centre Court
and the ﬁnal-afternoon
ritual of players carrying
bouquets of ﬂowers when
they enter the arena.
“Everything is a little
bit different. You’ve been
here for two weeks; the
feeling, atmosphere,
gets different,” said
Lisicki, who is based
in Bradenton, Fla., and
marked her rare winners
Saturday with yells of
“Yes!” or “Come on!”
“I felt ﬁne this morn-
ing, but it’s an occasion
that you don’t get every
day,” she said. “So it’s
something completely
new for me. But I will
learn and take away so
much from it.”
When play began under
a sunny sky, it was Bartoli
who looked jittery, dou-
ble-faulting twice in a
row to drop the opening
game.
Then it was Lisicki’s
turn to serve, and she
returned the favor, dou-
ble-faulting on break
point — her last serve
barely reaching the bot-
tom of the net — to make
it 1-all.
From there, Bartoli took
over, winning 11 of 12
games, and doing exactly
what her father, a doctor
who taught his daughter
how to play, used to hope
and imagine could hap-
pen in such an important
match. Standing inside the
baseline — another sign of
individuality — Bartoli got
back serves that topped
110 mph. She won the
point on 9 of 11 trips to the
net. She dictated the ﬂow
of baseline exchanges,
thinking one or two moves
ahead, the way one tries
to do in chess, her father’s
favorite pastime.
“I was doing every-
thing well,” Bartoli said.
“I was moving well. I was
returning well. I mean, I
really played a wonderful
match.”
It was not exactly
the greatest theater or
a “How To” guide for
young players. Bartoli
and Lisicki combined for
more unforced errors, 39,
than winners, 36. They
ﬁnished with 11 doubles-
faults and eight aces.
When Lisicki double-
faulted twice in one game
while getting broken to
trail 4-1 in the second set,
she covered her face with
her racket as her eyes
welled.

Derek Jeter signs autographs for local fans before a game against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs on
Saturday night.
“It was 18 years ago.
Once I got on the ﬁeld,
some things looked famil-
iar to me but that was a
long, long, time ago,”
Jeter added. “I don’t
remember too much. I
remember it was turf and
the stadium is a lot better
looking now.”
He knows he has to get
ready after nine months
of playing competitively,
but he’s chomping at the
bit to get back to New
York.
“It was good to get back
out there. I miss playing.
I miss being around my
teammates,” he added.
“It’s fun to be out there, but
I want to be back to New
York as soon as I can.”
There is no timetable
for his return to the
Yankees, but speculation
is that he will be with the
RailRiders for the rest
of the team’s homestand
that runs through Friday.
“I want to play. I’m
ready to play, but I under-
stand I have to play some
games here. But I forward
to getting back as soon as
I can.”

RailRiders a 4-2 lead.
Randy Ruiz added an
RBI single in the third
to tie the game 2-2. For
the game, Neal ended
2-for-3 with three RBI.
The RailRiders bull-
pen worked four score-
less innings to preserve
the win for Pineda and in
Jeter’s ﬁrst rehab game.
Yoshinori Tateyama
pitched two scoreless frames,
while Jim Miller and Mike
Zagurski each went a score-
less inning. Zagurski picked
up his second save against

WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINGS, W.Va. — Amid
a disappointing season,
Johnson Wagner has
found a comfort zone
not far from his college
stomping grounds.
Wagner shot a 6-under
64 Saturday to take a two-
stroke lead after the third
round of the Greenbrier
Classic.
Wagner was at 14 under
on the Old White TPC
course. Jimmy Walker
also shot 64 and was sec-
ond at 12 under.
Wagner has yet to post
a top 10 ﬁnish this year.
At the Greenbrier, he
broke a string of seven
consecutive early exits.
In his two previous
tournaments, he had
three birdies combined.
He had seven of them on
Saturday.
“I felt really comfort-
able all day,” Wagner
said. “I hit a lot of good
golf shots. I’ve got a really
clear picture of what I’m
trying to do on every
swing.
“Sometimes when
you’re playing bad, you
forget who you are and
you get down on your-
self. The last couple of
weeks, I’ve just trying to
be positive and remember
that I’ve won three times
out here. I’m a little more
comfortable with myself
right now.”
Wagner played golf at
Virginia Tech less than
two hours from The
Greenbrier resort. Several
members of his wife’s fam-
ily have joined them for
the weekend, and hoots
from Hokies fans could
be heard around the golf
course.
“It’s great seeing a
bunch of maroon-and-
orange in the crowd,”
Wagner said.
He hopes they can see
him wrap up his ﬁrst
win since the 2012 Sony
Open.
The other two times
Wagner held the lead
going into the ﬁnal round
on tour, he won the 2008
Houston Open and the
OHL Classic at Mayakoba
in Mexico.
But no third-round
leader has gone on to win
the Greenbrier Classic,
now in its fourth year.
The tournament has been
decided by playoffs the
past two years, and Stuart
Appleby shot 59 in the
ﬁnal round to win by a
stroke in 2010.
Wagner said he isn’t
going to stop being
aggressive Sunday unless
the wind picks up.
“I’m just going to try to
make as many birdies as I
can,” he said. “This golf
course, when it’s ﬁrm and
fast, may be one of my
favorite places we play on
tour.”
Like Wagner, Walker
also gets a cozy feeling
at The Greenbrier. He
ﬁnished one stroke out
of a playoff in the 2011
Greenbrier Classic and
tied for fourth in 2010.

PHILADELPHIA —
Center Vinny Lecavalier, a
likely future Hall of Famer,
said the Flyers are “Claude
Giroux’s team,” but added
he will try to bring his
experience and leadership
to his new team.
“I’ve been through some
tough years and I’ve been
through some really great
years,” Lecavalier, 33, said
in a conference call with
reporters Saturday. “So I’ll
bring that in the room, and
deﬁnitely at my age, (as)
older players, we have to
bring that leadership. It’s
not just having one leader
— you need a lot of good
leaders to make sure that
the team goes in the right
direction, and I’m going to
try to do that.”
Lecavalier signed a
ﬁve-year, $22.5 million
free-agent deal with the
Flyers. He is expected to
center the second line,
with Brayden Schenn and
Wayne Simmonds as his
wingers.
A four-time all-star,
Lecavalier revealed that
Flyers ofﬁcials asked him
if he could play wing if
placed on Giroux’s unit,
and he told them he would
feel comfortable playing the
right side.
If he changes positions,
“it’s not something I really
worry about, especially
when you’re being told you
might play with Claude
Giroux,” Lecavalier said.
“I’m really open to that and
I’d be really excited about
that.”
Lecavalier was bought
out of his contract by
Tampa Bay. He helped
lead the Lightning to the
Stanley Cup in 2004.
“I was part of an organi-
zation for 14 years so it was
a tough few days,” he said,
adding his parents and wife
took the news of leaving
Tampa “pretty hard.”
But after meeting with
general manager Paul
Holmgren and coach Peter
Laviolette, Lecavalier said,
“I really liked what they
had to say and where the
organization is going. So
that made my decision a lot
easier.”
JAGR’S SEARCH
Jaromir Jagr’s agent says
three teams are “very inter-
ested” in his 41-year-old cli-
ent.
Petr Svoboda, though,
told The Associated Press
on Saturday he expects it
to take some time for the
NHL’s active scoring leader
to sign a contract.
Jagr might have com-
pany waiting for a new job.
J.P. Barry, whorepresents
two of the top free agents
available, Daniel Cleary
and Mason Raymond, says
he thinks decision-makers
are taking a breath after a
frenzy of activity Friday.
Day 1 of the free agency
ﬂurry included Jarome
Iginla signing a one-year
deal worth as much as
$6 million with Boston,
which almost acquired him
last season from Calgary.
Nathan Horton cashed
in on his postseason per-
formance for the Eastern
Conference champions
Bruins with a $37.1 mil-
lion, seven-year contract in
Columbus.
BLUES
Derek Roy has agreed to
terms on a one-year deal
with the St. Louis Blues,
pending a physical for the
veteran forward.
The Blues have been
looking for a top center
since before the trade dead-
line, and they hope they
found one in Roy. The pend-
ing deal was announced by
the team Saturday.
The 30-year-old Roy split
last season between the
Dallas Stars and Vancouver
Canucks and ﬁnished with
seven goals and 21 assists.
The 5-foot-9 playmaker
spent the bulk of his NHL
career with the Buffalo
Sabres, with whom he had
a career-high 81 points in
the 2007-08 season.
STARS
The Dallas Stars have
signed top draft pick Valeri
Nichushkin to a three-year
entry-level contract.
The 18-year-old Russian
winger was the 10th overall
pick in the draft last week-
end. He played 18 regular-
season games and 25 play-
off games last season for the
KHL club in Chelyabinsk,
his hometown.
Nichushkin scored nine
points (six goals, three
assists) in the playoffs and
was the KHL’s top rookie.
Terms of the deal
announced Saturday
weren’t released.
Nichushkin scored the
winning goal in the bronze
medal game against
Canada in the world junior
championships in January.
He also was on two other
world junior teams with
Russia, including one that
took the goal medal in an
under-17 tournament in
2012.
CANADIENS
The Montreal Canadiens
have signed free agent for-
ward Stefan Fournier to a
three-year contract.
Fournier had 35 goals
and 72 points for Memorial
Cup-champion Halifax of
the QMJHL this past sea-
son. He added 16 goals
and 13 assists in 17 play-
off games, including three
points in the tournament
ﬁnal in May.
The 6-foot-3, 212-pound-
er from Dorval, Que.,
also led Halifax with
100 penalty minutes
in the regular season
and maintained a +17
plus/minus differential.
JETS
The Winnipeg Jets have
signed defenseman Adam
Pardy.
The 29-year-old Pardy,
who reached a deal with
the Jets on Saturday,
played in 17 games last
season with the Buffalo
Sabres. He had four assists
and 14 penalty minutes.

Joey Mormina (3) skates the puck out of trouble in front of
Penguins teammates “Alex Grant” below and goalie Brad Thiessen
and Adirondack Phantoms forward Mike Testwuide (8) during a
2011 game at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Tom Venesky
[email protected]
If Joey Mormina was in
his early 20s and without
a wife and kids, he may
still be a Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguin.
But at age 31 with a
wife and two young chil-
dren, job security is as
important to Mormina
as getting a shot at the
NHL. That’s why the vet-
eran defenseman opted to
sign a two-year contract
with the Syracuse Crunch
on Wednesday, leaving a
Wi l kes- Barre/Scranton
team where he spent the
last three years and last
season was named cap-
tain for the ﬁrst time in
his eight-year pro career.
Overall, Mormina spent
four seasons in Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton, posting
13 goals and 53 points in
233 games.
“It deﬁnitely wasn’t an
easy decision,” Mormina
said on Saturday. “I spent
four tremendous years in
Wilkes-Barre and both of
my kids were born and
raised there.
“It’s deﬁnitely hard to
move on, but with two
young kids job security
was at the top of the list.”
Topping the list of
Mormina’s Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton memories are
being named captain last
season and the move by
the club to resign him for
a second stint with the
team three years ago after
a deal to play in Europe
fell through.
That decision three
years ago essentially gave
Mormina a chance to
rejuvenate his career.
“The opportunity they
gave me to come back and
re-establish myself is the
biggest thing. I became a
better player and a better
person, and I’ll forever be
thankful to the Penguins
organization for that,”
Mormina said.
In addition to his solid
play on the blueline,
being named captain is
another attribute that
may have made Mormina
more appealing to other
clubs as a free agent. The
title is a reﬂection of his
character and ability to
lead — two elements
that are sought after in a
player.
“Once you get the ‘C’ on
the jersey it’s a message
to the rest of the league
that you can be trusted to
make the important deci-
sions,” Mormina said.
“And when you’re a cap-
tain with Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton, it carries a lot
of weight.”
As a member of the
Crunch, Mormina will
remain in the East
Division, guarantee-
ing a few return trips to
Wilkes-Barre during the
2013-2014 season. How’s
it going to feel to skate
on the ice at the Mohegan
Sun Arena as a member
of the visiting team?
“A little difﬁcult, for
sure,” Mormina said.
“But I hope the people in
Wilkes-Barre are as gra-
cious to me then as they
were when I was there.”
NOTES
Mormina is the ﬁfth
player from last season’s
team to exit, including
wingers Chad Kolarik and
Phil Dupuis along with
defenseman Dylan Reese,
all of whom signed in
Europe. Forward Trevor
Smith signed with the
Toronto organization on
Friday.
• Pittsburgh signed
four players to two-way
deals on Friday, including
last season’s team pen-
alty minute leader Bobby
Farnham. Forward Chris
Connor returns to the
organization as well. He
played with Pittsburgh
and Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton during the 2009-
2010 and 2010-2011 sea-
sons. Newcomers include
forward Nick Drazenovic,
who spent most of last
season with Springﬁeld
where he registered
53 points, and Andrew
Ebbett, who played in 28
games with the Vancouver
Canucks last season.
All were signed to one-
year contracts except
for Ebbett, who agreed
to a two-year deal.

Former Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard has moved on to
join the Houston Rockets after agreeing to a free agent deal with
the Western Conference team.
TheAssociatedPress
HOUSTON — Last off-
season, the Houston Rockets
were an afterthought, a
young team with little star
power.
Now, after trading for
James Harden just before
this past season and adding
Dwight Howard on Friday,
Houston is suddenly primed
to contend sooner than
almost anybody expected.
Still, Houstongeneral man-
ager Daryl Morey knows nab-
bing Howard is only the ﬁrst
step in a long process for his
team.
“We haven’t accomplished
anything yet, but we’re put-
ting something pretty cool
together, I think,” Morey said
in an interviewwith Comcast
SportsNet Houston.
Howard is the Rockets’ lat-
est superstar center, follow-
ing Hall of Famer Hakeem
Olajuwon and eight-time All-
Star Yao Ming.
They reached the playoffs
for the ﬁrst time since 2009
this season and battled back
froma 3-0deﬁcit before being
eliminated by the Oklahoma
City Thunder in Game 6.
Their returntothepostsea-
son showed they have plenty
of speed and long-range
scoring power with Harden,
Jeremy Lin and Chandler
Parsons. Omer Asik was a
solid rebounder in the playoff
run and averaged 12.3 points
in the series, but it was clear
that the team needed a more
potent scoring threat inside.
The addition of Howard
gives them just that, as the
6-foot-11 star has averaged
more than 18 points and
almost 13 rebounds in his
nine-year career.
His one season in Los
Angeles was ﬁlled with
unrest, including what many
believedtobe a less thanposi-
tive relationship with Kobe
Bryant. Bryant unfollowed
Howard on Twitter on Friday
night after he announced his
decision to join the Rockets
with a tweet.
HAWKS
The Atlanta Hawks have
agreed to contracts with free-
agent forwards Paul Millsap
and DeMarre Carroll, con-
tinuing their makeover
under general manager
Danny Ferry.
Two people close to the
negotiations conﬁrmed
the deals for Millsap and
Carroll, who were team-
mates on the Utah Jazz last
season. The people spoke
to The Associated Press on
Saturday on condition of
anonymity because contracts
cannot become ofﬁcial until
Wednesday when the NBA’s
freeagencymoratoriumends.
The deals for Millsap
and Carroll were struck late
Friday night, after free agent
Dwight Howard informed
the Hawks he was going to
go elsewhere. Howard later
went to Twitter to announce
he was headed to the
Houston Rockets.
Millsap was selected by
Utah in the second round of
the 2006 draft. The 6-foot-8
power forward has career
averages of 12.4 points, 7.0
rebounds and 1.8 assists in
seven seasons in the NBA.
Although he was Utah’s
longest-tenured player,
Millsap’s minutes declined
last season with the emer-
gence of young players
Derrick Favors and Enes
Kanter —both part of a
core group for the Jazz.

Sandy Goodwin saw
her ﬁrst bald eagle years
ago at the Philadelphia
Zoo.
At the time, places such
as zoos provided about
the only opportunity to
see a bald eagle, especial-
ly in Pennsylvania.
The effects of pesti-
cides such as DDT, along
with water pollution and
other factors, decimated
the bald eagle population
a few decades ago. In the
early 1980’s only three
nesting pairs of eagles
remained in the state.
“You never thought
you’d see one in the wild,”
said Goodwin, who is vice
president of the Greater
Wyoming Valley Audubon
Society.
Today, one doesn’t have
to go to a zoo to see a
bald eagle, thanks to a
remarkable turnaround.
Last week the
Pennsylvania Game
Commission released its
preliminary count of bald
eagle nests statewide, and
the numbers chart yet
another high point in an
impressive upward trend.
So far this year, 252
eagle nests have been
conﬁrmed throughout
the state, with nesting
eagles present in 56 of
Pennsylvania’s 67 coun-
ties.
That’s a sharp increase
from the previous mid-
year report, which the
Game Commission typi-
cally releases just before
the Fourth of July.
A year ago, there were
206 conﬁrmed eagle
nests in 51 counties.
Since the PGC began
it’s seven-year bald eagle
restoration program in
1983 and released 88
eaglets over the course of
the program, the recov-
ery has been marked with
success.
By 1998, Pennsylvania
was home to 25 pairs of
nesting bald eagles, and
that ﬁgure doubled three
years later. In 2005, the
Game Commission took
the bald eagle off the
state’s endangered list
and reclassiﬁed it as a
threatened species.
A year later, more than
100 nests were conﬁrmed
statewide. And now, the
number stands at 252.
That’s good news for
those who enjoy seeing
the nation’s symbol in the
wild.
“If you’re out and about
you have a pretty good
chance of seeing one,”
Goodwin said. “When we
do our bird counts, we
never used to get a bald
eagle. Now, we often get
at least one.”
There’s a chance that
the current nest ﬁg-
ure could continue to
rise, according to Patti
Barber, a biologist with
the Game Commission’s
Endangered and
Nongame Birds sec-
tion. While the mid-year
update on nests provides
a good indicator of how
bald eagles are doing
statewide, Barber said it’s
a preliminary number and
additional nests typically
are conﬁrmed as the year
goes on.
In 2012, for instance,
206 nests were reported
preliminarily, but the
year-end total was 237
statewide. In 2011 the
preliminary total revealed
203 nests but the ﬁg-
ure increased to 217
by the end of the year.

Capture anything interesting on your
handheld or trail camera? A nice buck, bear,
coyote or anything unique? We’d love to see
it. Each week, we’ll run photos from a read-
er’s trail camera on the Sunday Outdoors
page. Email your photo, along with date and
area it was taken (township is ﬁne), and any
other details to [email protected].
This photo of the turkey vulture landing,
above, is a good example of the wingspan
these powerful birds possess. Often over-
looked, these birds can have wingspans of up
to 6 feet in length. Rick Pavloski of Hanover
captured the vulture on a trail camera last
August on Luzerne County game lands.
Totally unrelated to the vulture, but also
a typical sight of summer, is this baby red
fox, right, captured on a trail cam set out by
Camille Daniels in the Mountain Top area.
The photo was taken in late May. The fox is
sitting on a stone culvert, and Daniels said
she has photos of the mother with the pup.
She said the location has also generated
several photos of barn cats, and many were
taken after the fox were in the area. Is one
attracted to the other?

To report a bald eagle nest, contact the Game Commission
through its public comments email address: pgccomments@
pa.gov, and use the words “Eagle Nest Information” in the subject
feld. Reports also can be phoned in to a Game Commission
Region Ofce or the Harrisburg headquarters.
Barber said its important that those encountering nests keep a
safe distance away. Disturbing eagles is illegal under the federal
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Some pairs are tolerant
of human activity, while others are sensitive. Their reaction
often depends on the activity and approach of the individual, the
nesting cycle stage, and if the eagles are used to seeing people.
“Where there is regular public access and established viewing
areas, some pairs can be very tolerant if visitors are predictable
and nonthreatening,” Barber said. “But when someone sneaks to
the base of a nest tree, most eagles become alarmed.”
Barber said there have been cases where people purposely
fushed eagles fromnests in attempts to get pictures of themin
fight. Such behavior not only is illegal, but runs the risk of killing
unhatched or recently hatched birds, she said.
Adults that are scared froma nest could abandon it, or might not
return in time to keep unhatched eggs at the proper incubating
temperature. Frightened eaglets also could jump fromthe safety
of the nest, then have no way to return, Barber said.
“There are all types of problems associated with getting too close
to a nest,” Barber said. “For the sake of eagles, use you binoculars
or a spotting scope. They are after all, still on the comeback trail
frombeing an endangered species.”

The number of bald
eagle nests in the
Northeast region is grow-
ing, and there is still plen-
ty of room for more.
Kevin Wenner, a biolo-
gist with the Pennsylvania
Game Commission, said
most of the new nests in
the area are reported by
the public. Gaps between
traditional nest sites on the
Susquehanna and Delaware
rivers are now becoming
occupied, Wenner said, but
there is still plenty of room
for more expansion.
“We’ve also received
reports of a half-dozen
to a dozen immature bald
eagles hanging out on
bodies of water. There
are a lot of immatures
out there and that’s your
up-and-coming breeding
pairs,” Wenner said.
Most of the nests are
discovered in the winter
or early spring, before
they are hidden from
view by foliage. It’s also
a time when eagles are
active around the nests.
“From November
through March, eagles
are busy repairing exist-
ing nests or building new
ones, and later incubating
eggs which hatch in mid
to late March,” Wenner
said. “Quite frequently
the public is bringing a
new nest to our attention,
so I wouldn’t be surprised
to see the numbers con-
tinue to grow.”
The following is a
breakdown of bald eagle
nests in the Northeast
region for 2013:
Total - 66 (61 in 2012)
New nests - 12 (8 in
2012)
Nests by county:
Bradford - 6
Carbon - 5
Columbia - 2
Lackawanna - 2
Luzerne - 3
Monroe - 6
Montour - 3
Northumberland - 3
Pike - 18
Sullivan - 1
Susquehanna - 4
Wayne - 8
Wyoming - 6
• While there haven’t
been any reports of eagles
being shot in the region,
Wenner said the agency does
ﬁnd dead bald eagles in the
area. Some are killed when
they perch on wires and
spread their wings between
two wires are are electro-
cuted, Wenner said. Others
are dying from high levels
of lead, which Wenner said
may results from eating ﬁsh
with lead sinkers or unrecov-
ered game with lead shot.
“We are studying the
lead issue and any dead
eagles we ﬁnd are sub-
mitted to a lab for a lead
screening,” Wenner said.

The trail was easy.
It offered a clear path
through the summertime
woods and the thick tan-
gle of underbrush. The
edges of the trail
were guarded by a
wall of thorn-laden
briars eager to tear
clothing and ﬂesh.
Behind the briars
the forest was full of
face-whipping, eye-
poking tree limbs,
rocks to trip over
and uneven terrain
perfect for sprain-
ing an ankle.
I had to get in
there.
Sure, the trail offered
easy, hazard-free walking
as I ventured out on a
combination trout ﬁshing
excursion/nature walk.
But the worn pathway
was also limiting. Many
other have taken this
same route. The trail
offered the same sights
to everyone that walked
it, and it led to the same
destination.
While most people
opted for the ease of the
trail, I wondered what
was I missing on the other
side of the wall of briars.
I raised my ﬁshing rod
over my head and gently
waded into the thorns.
There’s a method to
walking through a briar
patch. It requires a toler-
ance of pain, obviously,
but also a good deal of
agility.
Head for the thin-
ner spots between the
branches, go slow and let
the thorns gently slide
across your clothing, If
you do get stuck — and
you will — don’t try to
push straight through the
thorns. Gently turn and
twist to prevent the briar
branches from wrapping
around you.
A few harmless scratch-
es later, I made it through
the wall of briars into the
cool shade of the forest
ﬂoor.
Right away it felt like
a different world com-
pared to the man-made
path I had followed. In
the woods there was a
comfortable stillness.
Giant tree trunks dwarfed
low-growing saplings and
bushes.
The ﬂies and gnats that
buzzed above me on the
trail had vanished and
the hot sun was rendered
harmless by the thick tree
canopy.
Lacking a path, I had
to make my own. On my
right, the forest ﬂoor
was strewn with rocks
and boulders as it made a
steep descent into a hol-
low.
The hollow was my des-
tination as it contained a
small, shaded stream that
I knew held native brook
trout. But the rocks and
boulders would make for
a tough trek.
On my left, the ground
sloped gently downward
and was generally clear
of rocks and other debris,
aside from a few logs. I
chose the gentle slope as
my new path and made
my way toward the hol-
low.
Halfway down I
encountered a doe
standing in the
clearing created by
a fallen tree.
I stopped and
watched as the doe
paced nervously
to each side of the
clearing, snort-
ing and occasion-
ally shooting me an
annoyed glare.
She had a fawn
nearby and wanted me to
leave, or at the very least
focus my attention on her.
As tempting as it was
to look for the new spot-
ted fawn curled up some-
where on the forest ﬂoor,
I decided to let the doe
have some peace of mind
and turned back to make
a wide loop around the
clearing.
Doing so required me
to walk through a por-
tion of the area covered
with rocks, and this
section also featured
plenty of low growing
trees with limbs at just
the right height for an
annoying poke in the
eye.
I stepped from rock to
rock, and hunched over
to spare my eyes and face
a beating from the limbs,
and along the way I spot-
ted a papery thin snake
skin wedged between two
stones.
This was copperhead
territory, and I gently
picked up the delicate
skin to see if it was left
behind by one of the ven-
omous snakes.
It has long scales the
stretched in a neat row
across the width of the
belly, and large, diamond-
shaped scales on the sides
and back. But the skin
lacked the color pattern
of a copperhead, so I sur-
mised it was from a north-
ern racer — a harmless
but sometimes aggressive
snake.
After carefully ﬁnish-
ing my trek through the
stones, I made it to the
small stream. Up and
down the stream were
small pools in between
stretches of ﬂat, cool
water.
The mud along the
bank showed tracks of
raccoon, mink and deer,
but no people.
It was too far off the
beaten path.
As I cast my spinner
into a clear pool and
watched the little brook
trout give chase, I knew
that sometimes it’s the
place without a path
that yields the greater
reward.

Pennsylvania deer hunt-
ers who want to better
their chances of obtain-
ing an antlerless license

During the ﬁrst
three weeks applica-
tions are accepted, only
Pennsylvania residents
may apply. Nonresidents
may apply beginning
Monday, July 29. Then
beginning on Monday,
Aug. 5, residents and non-
residents alike may apply
for any unsold licenses
that remain.
The second round of
unsold license sales is set
to begin on Monday, Aug.
19.
Applications received
before the Monday
start of any round will
be returned to sender.

While applications won’t be accepted before a given
sales period begins, Game Commission Executive
Director Carl G. Roe said it’s a good idea for hunters
to send in their applications as early as they’re
permitted.
“The number of tags allocated for each wildlife-
management unit is diferent, and in some units,
licenses traditionally have sold out fairly quickly,”
Roe said. “The sooner you send your application
in, the better your chance of coming away with a
license in the management unit that’s your top
choice.”
Hunters applying for 2013-14 antlerless deer
licenses will followthe same process that has been
in place during recent years. License fees also
remain unchanged.
Antlerless deer license applications must be mailed
directly to a county treasurer’s ofce, with the
exception of the Philadelphia and Lehigh county
treasurer ofces, which no longer issue antlerless
deer licenses. Treasurers across the state will accept
applications for antlerless licenses covering any
wildlife-management unit (WMU), but hunters
should note that only county treasurers issue tags.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission does not
accept applications.
Alist of participating treasurers and their mailing
addresses, as well as the number of licenses
allocated for each WMU, appear in the 2013-14
Hunting &Trapping Digest, which hunters can pick
up froma licensing agent.
Applications must be mailed in the ofcial pink
envelope issued to hunters at the time they
purchase their general hunting licenses.
Hunters who are Pennsylvania residents need to
submit with each application a check or money
order to cover the $6.70 license fee. The license
fee for nonresidents is $26.70. If an application
is rejected due to licenses being sold out, the
uncashed check or money order will be returned to
the hunter by mail.
For most management units, hunters may apply for
only one license in each round. However, hunters
are allowed during each round to select their top
three WMU preferences. If antlerless licenses are
sold out for the WMU that is the hunter’s top choice,
for example, a license for the second choice will be
issued if available.
Applications fromup to three separate hunters
may be submitted in the same envelope. If the
WMU preferences for all applications mailed in
the same envelope are exactly the same, payment
may be made with a single check or money order.
If the applicants have diferent WMU preferences,
payment by separate checks or money orders is
strongly recommended.
Applying early during the frst round of sales also
helps to ensure hunters will get their antlerless
licenses by the start of archery season. Archery
season begins Sept. 21 in WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D.
Statewide, the season begins Oct. 5.
Ahunter, except for in WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D, can
purchase no more than three antlerless licenses
– including“unsold licenses” – per license year. In
WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D, there is no antlerless license
limit for hunters, and beginning Aug. 5 in these three
WMUs, hunters can apply for up to three licenses
per mailing until the allocation is exhausted.
Antlerless licenses for WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D also are
sold over the counter beginning Aug. 26.
Over-the-counter sales for licenses covering other
WMUs begin Oct. 7. Hunters may apply over the
counter to county treasurers for any other WMU
with antlerless licenses remaining.
Alisting of antlerless licenses allocated by WMU, as
well as the remaining allocation, can be viewed on
the Game Commission’s website (www.pgc.state.
pa.us), by clicking on“Doe License Update” in the
“Quick Clicks” box in the right-hand column of the

Illegal bat removal
The owner and one employee of a Scranton-based
business pleaded guilty to conducting nuisance
wildlife control activities without a permit, in
violation of state law.
Ace Bat and Wildlife Control owner Nelson E. Carter,
of Susquehanna, and employee Ralph J. Frederick,
of Dunmore, each were ordered to pay $300 in fnes,
plus court costs.
Additionally, Magisterial District Judge Paul Ware
ordered the men pay $750 in restitution to a
Scranton family for medical expenses incurred
because a bat removed fromtheir home was not
submitted for rabies testing as required by the state
Department of Health.
“AGame Commission nuisance wildlife control
operator permit is required for any individual to
ofer or conduct nuisance wildlife control services
in Pennsylvania,” explained Game Commission
Northeast Region LawEnforcement Supervisor
Mark Rutkowski. “Prospective agents are required to
pass a written examination that covers the subject
areas of control methods, euthanasia, laws and
regulations, wildlife diseases, and public relations.
This company’s permit was revoked in 2011 and
any work performed after that date was in direct
violation of the law,” added Rutkowski.
Charges were fled by Wayne County District Wildlife
Conservation Ofcer James McCarthy after a
lengthy investigation into the operations of the
company.
The guilty pleas were accepted June 25.
The Game Commission will be taking action to have
its agency logo, and verbiage indicating that the
company is licensed to conduct nuisance wildlife
control activities in the state of Pennsylvania,
removed fromthe company’s website.
DMAP permits
also available
The licenses county treasurers will place on sale
Monday aren’t the only option hunters have for tags
to harvest antlerless deer.
Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director
Carl G. Roe reminds hunters that antlerless permits
through the Deer Management Assistance Program
(DMAP) remain available for some properties,
and can be purchased through the Pennsylvania
Automated License System(PALS).
DMAP is a Game Commission programdesigned
to help landowners manage deer numbers on
their properties. Eligible landowners include those
owning: public lands; private lands where no fee is
charged for hunting; and hunting clubs established
prior to Jan. 1, 2000 that are owned in fee title and
have provided a club charter and list of current
members to the agency.
Hunters may obtain up to two DMAP antlerless
deer permits per property, and DMAP permits do
not impact a hunter’s eligibility to apply for and
receive antlerless deer licenses issued for Wildlife
Management Units (WMUs).
DMAP permits went on sale June 10, along with
general hunting licenses, and are sold out for some
properties. Hunters purchasing the remaining
permits may do so at any time and do not have to
followthe regular antlerless license schedule.
DMAP permit fees are $10.70 for resident hunters;
and $35.70 for nonresident hunters. The permit
can be used to harvest one antlerless deer on
the specifc DMAP area. Maps for the properties
are to be provided to hunters by the landowners.
Landowners may not charge or accept any
contribution froma hunter for DMAP permits or
coupons.
Hunters may not use DMAP permits to harvest an
antlered deer. Hunters may use DMAP permits to
harvest an antlerless deer anytime antlerless deer
are legal, including during the entire statewide two-
week frearms deer season (Dec. 2-14). However,
WMU-specifc antlerless deer licenses may only be
used only during the last seven days of the season
(Dec. 7-14) in WMUs 2A, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, 2H, 3B,
3C, 4B, 4D and 4E.
All DMAP permits are available through PALS. For
DMAP unit numbers, the Game Commission has
posted a listing of all public landowners and those
private landowners who did not request DMAP
coupons.
Those private landowners who requested DMAP
coupons to present to hunters to redeemfor DMAP
permits will not appear on the website. However,
these landowners generally have a limited number
of coupons available and already have identifed a
sufcient number of hunters to receive their allotted
coupons.
The website provides an alphabetical listing of
DMAP properties for each county in which DMAP
properties are located. Each listing will provide
the following information: DMAP property
number; contact information, including name,
address, telephone number and e-mail address
(when available); total number of acres for the
property; and total number of coupons issued
for the property.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Hundreds of
blueﬁsh are turning up dead off the coast
of Long Island — and nobody knows why.
Researchers at the Marine Animal
Disease Laboratory at Stony Brook
University are investigating what could
be killing hundreds of cocktail blueﬁsh
discovered this week in and around the
Shinnecock Bay.
Professor Christopher Gobler of Stony
Brook’s School of Marine and Atmospheric
Sciences tells Newsday he’s puzzled as to
why just blueﬁsh are turning up dead. The
Shinnecock Reservation is also home to
mackerels, sand sharks and dog ﬁsh. None
of them are turning up dead.
The paper reports that most of the blueﬁsh
recovered are too decomposed to test, but a
live one showed no obvious signs of disease.
Researchers expect preliminary test
results later in July.

Fans line up to exchange their New England Patriots Aaron Hernandez football jerseys at
gillette Stadium in Foxborough, mass., on Saturday. The Patriots are offering a new jersey
to all fans who want to get rid of the one they bought with Hernandez’s name on it.
The Associated Press
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —
Hundreds of one-time fans are trad-
ing in their Aaron Hernandez jerseys.
The New England Patriots are let-
ting fans trade in their No. 81 jer-
seys for a different one on Saturday
and Sunday.
The ex-Patriots tight end has
been charged with the murder in
the death of 27-year-old semi-pro
football player Odin Lloyd. He has
pleaded not guilty.
The Patriots released Hernandez
shortly after he was arrested on
June 26.
Team spokesman Stacey James
says children love wearing Patriots
gear but may not understand why
their parents don’t want them wear-
ing Hernandez’s jersey.
The jerseys must have been pur-
chased at the team shop at Gillette
Stadium or its online store.
Meanwhile, Ohio State coach
Urban Meyer said it is “wrong and
irresponsible” to connect him or his
former Florida staff to the murder
charge facing Aaron Hernandez.
In texts to The Columbus
Dispatch and The Gainesville Sun
on Saturday, Meyer said there was
no cover-up of drug tests during
Hernandez’s time at Florida. Meyer
coached Florida from 2005 to 2010.
These were Meyer’s ﬁrst comments
about Hernandez after he declined to
comment earlier this week.
The coach said in the texts he
“received an email from a friend
where there is an accusation of mul-
tiple failed drug tests covered up”
by the university or the coaching
staff. Meyer said that is “absolutely
not true” and Hernandez was “held
to the same drug testing policy as
every other player.”
Hernandez played three years
under Meyer at Florida. The former
New England Patriot is charged
in the shooting death of semi-pro
football player Odin Lloyd. He has
pleaded not guilty.
“Prayers and thoughts are with
the family and friends of the vic-
tim,” Meyer texted. “Relating or
blaming these serious charges to the
University of Florida, myself or our
staff is wrong and irresponsible.”
During Meyer’s time with the
Gators, Florida had at least 31
arrests involving 25 players. Many
involved alcohol possession and
disorderly conduct, but a dozen
involved initial charges of felonies
or violent misdemeanors.
Hernandez was never arrested
during his three seasons with the
Gators. He was, however, suspend-
ed for the 2008 season opener and
later acknowledged the suspension
was punishment for testing positive
for marijuana.
In other Hernandez develop-
ments Saturday:
• A man charged as an acces-
sory in the murder case is to be
arraigned Monday in Attleboro,
Mass. Ernest Wallace, of Miramar,
Fla., was turned over on Friday to
Massachusetts ofﬁcials.

Tim reynolds
AP Sports Writer
CORAL GABLES, Fla. —
This stretch of years for Miami
athletics will likely be best
remembered for the Nevin
Shapiro booster scandal and
the stigma that came as part
of the lengthy NCAA investiga-
tion that it sparked.
In the eyes of Hurricanes ath-
letic director Blake James, it
could also be remembered for
something else.
Even as another year passed
under the cloud of the Shapiro
mess — which may actually
end in the coming weeks, if
all goes right for Miami — the
Hurricanes emerged with more
reasons to be bullish about
their future than ever before.
One year after sending nine
teams to NCAA tournament
play, the Hurricanes sent 15
teams there in the academic
year that just ended, something
Miami ofﬁcials are touting as a
record showing for the school.
“I wouldn’t say it’s as much
about where we are,” James
said in an interview with The
Associated Press. “I would say
it’s more about where we can go.”
A printout on the conference
table where he sat told the story.
It was a simple chart, with the 18
varsity sports that Miami offers
listed down the left side of the
page, and columns for the last
15 or so years stretched across
the top. Baseball — which has
been to 41 consecutive NCAA
tournaments — had an “X” in
each of its columns.
And that program had plenty
of company on the NCAA-
bound list.
Men’s and women’s basketball,
men’s and women’s cross coun-
try, men’s diving, women’s golf,
women’s soccer, women’s swim-
ming and diving, women’s ten-
nis, men’s and women’s indoor
track, men’s and women’s out-
door track and volleyball all qual-
iﬁed for NCAA play. Football,
had it not been subjected to a
self-imposed postseason ban for
a second straight year because of
the Shapiro scandal, would have
made it 16 teams on that list.
Out of a possible 18, James
knows it was a good year, even
though while it was happen-
ing the Hurricanes themselves
weren’t exactly aware of the
signiﬁcance of it all. James said
he half-seriously asked one of
his staff members this spring if
every Miami team during this
academic year had been NCAA-
bound, and a quick check of the
records showed the Hurricanes
were closer to that goal than
ever before.
“When I look at this and see
the success we had in putting
teams in postseason, and rec-
ognizing that number would
be bigger if not for the self-
imposed situation with football,
it has me excited,” James said.
Even though the summer is
now in full swing, it still might
be considered a somewhat
unnerving time for Miami ath-
letics.
There’s plenty of opti-
mism about what awaits this
fall, especially with football
— which, if not for the self-
imposed ban, would have
been in the Atlantic Coast
Conference championship game
last season — expected to be in
the mix for the ACC title. By
the time the Hurricanes open
camp, there is a chance that the
Shapiro scandal might essen-
tially be a thing of the past.
Hurricanes hope to build on
NCAAtourney momentum
There’s a chance that this year’s
total could increase as well.
“It’s hard to say, but in all likeli-
hood more remain to be counted,”
Barber said. “Our tally was 249 just
a week or two ago, and three more
were reported since that time, so I’d
be surprised if the preliminary num-
ber doesn’t grow.”
Locally, eagles can be found
virtually anywhere along the
Susquehanna River or other large
bodies of water. Professional natu-
ralist Rick Koval said he has counted
four nesting pairs in a single year in
Luzerne County and as many as 25
eagles in one day while surveying
migratory birds ﬂying over Council
Cup near Wapwallopen.
“I’ve been birding in Luzerne
County for almost 30 years and back
then seeing an eagle was almost
unheard of,” Koval said. “Now, you
can take a boat ride on any stretch
of the river and almost gaurantee a
sighting.”
Sightings aren’t limited to places
along the Susquehanna River either.
Diane Madl, environmental educa-
tion specialist at Nescopeck State
Park, said she has seen eagles ﬂy
over the park and the Lehigh Gorge
area over the last wo months.
“It’s certainly a lot more common
to see than it was years ago,” Madl
said.
While the bald eagle popula-
tion grows stronger each year in
Pennsylvania, the birds remain clas-
siﬁed as a threatened species state-
wide.
Koval said despite the suc-
cess, bald eagles still face chal-
lenges from wind turbines places
on migration routes, timbering
of nest trees in riparian corridors
and even a threat to a food source
with the die-off of smallmouth
bass in the lower stretches of the
Susquehanna River.
“The recovery plan in the endan-
gered species act works, and the
bald eagle is an example of that,”
Koval said. “But we need to contin-
ue to protect and respect this spe-
cies to make sure we don’t end up
listing it again.”

Poaching is a threat faced by all wildlife,
including the bald eagle. In May the
Pennsylvania Game Commission began
investigating the killing of two bald eagles
—one in Cambria County and the other
in Butler County. Both birds died from
gunshot wounds.
Because the incidents occurred in May,
ofcials said it’s possible the eagles
could’ve been tending nests.
The Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen
and the Humane Society of the United
States, have joined the commission to ofer
a reward in the Cambria case. It topped
$7,250 at last count.

Most of us have experienced bad
service or a defective product and have
been tempted to go off on the company.
But think twice before doing that.
That’s because there really is some-
thing to the saying, “You can catch
more ﬂies with honey than with vin-
egar.” But more important, you can get
better results if you act more strategi-
cally.
So be the squeaky
wheel, but squeak
smartly.
Your ﬁrst smart
move is to be mindful
of where you shop.
“Your ﬁrst step to
resolving a problem
comes before there
even is one — when
making a purchase,”
Anthony Giorgianni,
associate ﬁnance editor
at Consumer Reports,
wrote in an article on speaking up to
resolve complaints.
“The place to start is by picking
a responsible vendor,” added Micah
Solomon, a customer service consul-
tant, speaker and author of “High-Tech,
High-Touch Customer Service.”
“If you went into a store with a ter-
rible reputation and purchased from
them,” Solomon said, “to some extent,
you know what you’re getting into, or
you should. Ideally, you want to start
with a company that is responsive to
customers.”
Also, examine the details before you
buy.
“Review the terms, looking beyond
the price, warranty, or other basics,”
Giorgianni wrote. And don’t forget to
read the ﬁne print, even if companies
often make it long and difﬁcult to read.
“Though it’s sure to be tedious, you
should comb through the company’s
refund policies, frequently asked ques-
tions, and terms and conditions,”
Giorgianni said.
If you’ve done your homework
beforehand and there’s still a problem,
here’s what you need to know to com-
plain effectively:
WHAT WENT WRONG? First off,
ask yourself if your complaint is valid.
“Are you justiﬁed in complaining and
if so, what is an appropriate response
or action that you’re seeking, the result
you’re hoping to get out of your com-
plaint?” said Todd Mark, vice presi-
dent of education at Consumer Credit
Counseling Service of Greater Dallas,
who teaches a class on knowing your
rights.
Next, Consumer Action, which pub-
lishes a guide on how to complain,
advises that you ask yourself these
questions:
Why are you dissatisﬁed? Is it a
question of losing money because
goods or services you received weren’t
what was promised, or was there out-
right fraud? Did a representative of the
company treat you rudely?
GO TO THE SOURCE: Don’t run
right away to a third party, like a gov-
ernment agency. Instead, complain
directly to the source ﬁrst.
“Often, people will escalate immedi-
ately,” Mark said. “Don’t be afraid to
ﬁght back, but start with the normal
chain of command.”
Don’t immediately think, ” ‘Who is
the biggest dog I can call in this ﬁght?’
” he said. “There’s a time to escalate
and there’s a time not to.”
If the company continues to ignore
your complaint, then consider going to
a government agency.
“Government agencies will not
always intervene to settle your case,
but some will contact the company to
open up communication,” Consumer
Action said.
Just being contacted by the govern-
ment may be enough to get the com-
pany to resolve your complaint.
BE REALISTIC, BE SPECIFIC:
Make your demands realistic. If you
lost your cable TV for a week, for
example, don’t demand the cable com-
pany pay you $1 million.
“That would be rather asinine,” Mark
said. “But you could say, if you lost
cable for a week through no fault of
your own, at the very least you’re not
going to pay one-fourth of your bill for
that month.”
Also, be speciﬁc about what you
want. Are you looking for a refund, a
replacement or something else?
And let the company know if you’re a
repeat customer.
“A company is more likely to try to
satisfy good customers, so let it know
that you and your family are frequent
shoppers and that you like its products
or services,” Giorgianni said. “If you
go in guns blazing, the company might
ﬁgure it has already lost you as a cus-
tomer.”

Patrick McAvoy knew his
job had some drawbacks.
As a contract employee at
the University of Maryland-
Baltimore, he lacked ben-
eﬁts and long-term stabil-
ity, but he stayed on as an
events coordinator for three
years, hoping to be hired full
time and seeing little oppor-
tunity elsewhere.
This year, the job market
shifted, and by spring, he
had two offers.
“It was pretty stunning.
You send out resumes so
many times and don’t hear
anything back. Then you
hear back from multiple
places, and all of them are
good opportunities for your
future,” said McAvoy, 28,
who turned down an infor-
mation technology job at the
Johns Hopkins University to
be an events planner for the
Downtown Partnership of
Baltimore.
McAvoy’s good fortune
illustrates a signiﬁcant shift
in the slowly recovering
job market. As hiring picks
up across the nation, more
people are leaving their jobs
voluntarily — a promising
sign for workers, companies
and the economy.
The “quit rate” — the
percentage of American
workers who leave jobs vol-
untarily — has risen to the
highest level in four years.
That shows that workers are
more conﬁdent about ﬁnd-
ing new jobs, said Sophia
Koropeckyj, an economist
with Moody’s Economy.
com.
“When people change jobs,
they (usually) change to bet-
ter jobs and change to high-
er-paying jobs,” Koropeckyj
said. “When people don’t
change jobs, they can be
dissatisﬁed, and morale is
low. If they’re there because
they’re afraid to leave the
job, that could have an effect
on productivity. The ability
to change jobs is a good sign
in the economy.”
The number of available
jobs, which plummeted
to less than 2.2 million in
July 2009 during the reces-
sion, has averaged nearly
3.8 million since the begin-
ning of 2013, according to
the federal Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
Despite the nation’s job
growth, the economic recov-
ery has been slow — and
its prospects remain uncer-
tain. Many job seekers have
been forced to accept lower-
paying jobs than they held
before the recession.
Sequestration, the auto-
matic federal spending cuts
designed to reduce the deﬁ-
cit, as well as the expiration
of the payroll tax holiday
have prevented the economy
from growing more quickly,
said Richard P. Clinch, direc-
tor of economic research for
the University of Baltimore’s
Jacob France Institute.
Additionally, the global
recession and the slower
growth of China’s economy
have reduced exports.

It used to be you’d circle the airport
loop, get chased away from baggage
claim by police, or park precariously on
the shoulder of ramps and roadways.
That was before Philadelphia
International Airport opened a conve-
nient 150-space cellphone waiting lot in
December 2009 on airport property _
just one minute from the terminals.
Great. Terriﬁc. Handy. Easy to ﬁnd.
And, best of all, free.
Since tighter post-Sept. 11, securi-
ty, cellphone lots _ free parking areas
where people picking up travelers can
wait _ have sprung up at many of the
largest U.S. airports.
“The word has gotten out, and it’s
been very well-received,” said Keith
Brune, deputy director of Philadelphia
airport operations.
Drivers interviewed recently among
about 80 to 100 cars streaming into the
lot were enthusiastic.
“It’s wonderful to have this and not
have to go into short-term parking,
and worry that if the ﬂight is delayed,
you will have to pay extra,” said Jamie
Kravec of West Chester, Pa., waiting for
the “I’m here” call from her boyfriend,
ﬂying in from Seattle.
“There’s less hassle. We used to sit
out on the highway waiting for peo-
ple,” said Joyce Miller of Townsend,
Del., who with her husband, Arthur,
was picking up a family member from
Tennessee.
“It’s beautiful that they’ve got all
these ﬂight display boards,” she said.
“It’s a sign of the times. We all use cell-
phones.”
Improving trafﬁc safety and con-
gestion was a key motive for the lots.
Since 9/11, the Transportation Security
Administration has not allowed cars to
dwell at baggage claim.
Cellphone lots range from a paved lot
to a complex with portable toilets, elec-
tronic ﬂight display screens, food, and
free Wi-Fi.
The Charlotte, N.C., airport has two
cellphone lots; Phoenix Sky Harbor
Airport has three.
Pittsburgh International offers the
ﬁrst hour of parking for free in the
“extended-term” parking lot; the sec-
ond hour costs $1.
Some airports impose a time limit
to discourage drivers from lingering.
Others require drivers to be with their
cars at all times.
The airport in Portland, Ore., is seek-
ing a developer to build a fuel, conve-
nience store, and fast-food “travel cen-
ter” where those waiting for ﬂights can
grab coffee and ﬁll up their gas tank
while keeping tabs on a ﬂight’s status.
Cincinnati’s airport plans to put a gas
station at its entrance road with a larg-
er waiting area, convenience store and
a Subway or Dunkin’ Donuts, said Paul
Hegedus, the airport’s vice president of
commercial management.
Denver International Airport will
relocate its cellphone lot next to a gas
station and a Wendy’s. “When the new
waiting area opens this fall, it will have
a food court with a Subway, Dunkin’
Donuts, Baja Fresh Mexican Grill, and
Zpizza,” said airport spokeswoman
Julie Smith.
The Tampa, Fla., airport’s cellphone
lot features food trucks, Wi-Fi, and a
pavilion with restrooms and vending
machines.
“Some people will come just for the
food truck, not even to pick up a pas-
senger,” said airport spokeswoman
Janet Zink. A list of food trucks is post-
ed weekly on the airport’s Facebook
page.
Many cellphone lots are basic
parking areas, lighted at night and
patrolled by police but without con-
cessions or restrooms. They include
Baltimore-Washington International,
Los Angeles, Washington Dulles, and
Reagan National airports.
Between 4 and 10 p.m., when
Philadelphia airport is busiest, the cell-
phone lot consistently has 75 or 80 cars
_ and is 100 percent full around holi-
days.
The lot was packed before 5 p.m. on
a recent weekday and an overﬂow of a
dozen cars were parked on Route 291,
just outside the cellphone lot. In one of
them, Derrick Gray of Lumberton, N.J.,
said he drove through the lot once and,
not ﬁnding a space, looped around and
parked on 291.
“It’s an overﬂow crowd here. I think
it could have been a little bigger,” he
said, referring to the lot. “It beats rid-
ing around the airport.”
With a dozen signs directing motor-
ists to the spot, Pennsylvania state
police are issuing fewer tickets to driv-
ers parked illegally on ramps.
But old habits die hard _ and some cars
still congregatehaphazardlyonroadways.

Howto neutralize a colleague’s one-upmanship
Q. I have an older co-
worker who constantly
tries to prove that he’s
smarter than I am. “Tom”
never went to college,
while I have an advanced
degree. Although I never
mention my education,
he brings it up all the
time.
Because we work in a
scientiﬁc ﬁeld, Tom likes
to search for obscure
pieces of information and
quiz me about them. If I
don’t know the answer,
he says, “Well, you’re the
one that went to college.”
But if I do know the
answer, he immediately
goes online to ﬁnd a way
to contradict me.
These ridiculous
debates are a complete
waste of time. Even
though I spent six years
of my life studying this
ﬁeld, Tom will never
accept anything I say.
I am so frustrated that
I have considered com-
plaining to our boss. Do
you have any other sug-
gestions?
A.: Although you prob-
ably don’t realize it, you
are actually encouraging
Tom’s childish behavior.
In the language of ofﬁce
politics, your insecure
colleague is playing
a “superiority game.”
Superiority players com-
pensate for feelings of
inadequacy by trying to
appear more important
or informed than others.
The best way to shut
down such a game is sim-
ply to stop playing. Since
Tom’s underlying objec-
tive is to aggravate you,
expressing annoyance
or engaging in point-
less arguments will only
motivate him to continue.
Therefore, you must
break this communication
pattern by switching to a
neutral response.
For example, when
Tom points out that
you went to college,
just reply, “That’s true.”
If he contradicts you,
say, “That’s an interest-
ing point.” Then drop
the subject. Should you
unwittingly become
trapped in a verbal con-
test, end the interaction
by saying, “We could
probably debate this for
a long time, but I have to
get back to work.”
The secret to success is
delivering all these com-
ments calmly and with
a smile. To reduce your
irritation, keep reminding
yourself that Tom’s obvi-
ous insecurity is actually
rather pathetic. Once his
verbal jabs stop produc-
ing the desired result, he
will eventually abandon
the game because it will
no longer be rewarding.
Finally, please resist
the urge to take this petty
complaint to your boss.
Managers need to deal
with business problems,
not personal squabbles.
Besides, if you report
that Tom is annoying you
by trying to act superior,
you will sound exactly
like a tattling 10-year-old.
Q: Our new manager
said that I look like the
Wendy’s hamburger girl
because of my red hair.
I didn’t know what she
meant, so I emailed a co-
worker and said “I think
this manager is crazy.
Who is Wendy?”
My co-worker showed
the email to our boss,
who came to my desk and
asked why I thought she
was crazy. Is the lesson
that you should not share
your thoughts with co-
workers?
A: There are actually
three lessons here. Don’t
share personal opinions
with colleagues who
have no common sense.
Don’t ever put negative
remarks about others in
an email. And ﬁnally, if
you ever become a man-
ager, don’t make idiotic
observations about your
employees’ physical attri-
butes.

Each year, Andy Ruben bought
his daughter new shinguards for
soccer, stashing the old gear and
waiting for the replacements to
labor through the delivery system
to his door. But as he watched local
girls outgrow their own sports
equipment, Ruben realized that the
items he wanted were gathering
dust in garages and closets around
his neighborhood.
“Our whole retail model over the
last 50 years has focused on keep-
ing the industrial machine churn-
ing out items,” said Ruben, who
until 2007 had an up-close view as
the head of sustainability at Wal-
Mart Stores Inc., the king of mass-
produced goods. “But if my friend
already has shinguards that he’s not
using, I don’t need to buy them for
myself.”
So Ruben and environmentalist
Adam Werbach dreamed up Yerdle,
a website they launched during
last year’s Black Friday shopping
swarm. Members use the platform
to offer underutilized goods _
clothing, electronics, even pianos _
to friends and acquaintances free of
charge. Ruben said the setup, which
now has 18,000 participants, is less
anonymous than Craigslist and
more eco-minded than Facebook.
The young San Francisco compa-
ny is one of the newest manifesta-
tions of what’s known as collective
consumerism, or the circular or
sharing economy. Instead of trying
to shrink a product’s environmen-
tal footprint from the production
side by making it with less mate-
rial, advocates _ especially cloth-
ing and shoe companies _ are try-
ing to extend its usefulness on the
consumer end. Retailers such as
Hello Rewind are selling goods and
products reworked from discarded
scraps. Textile makers are experi-
menting with longer-lasting fabrics.
Some businesses are asking
shoppers to scale back their buy-
ing. “It ﬁts perfectly with the new
movement toward sustainability in
the fashion industry,” said British
designer Orsola de Castro, whose
From Somewhere brand is consid-
ered an eco-apparel pioneer. “Hyper
production and the sheer availabil-
ity of cheap clothing has made us
forget the value of maintaining and
repurposing clothes and textiles.”
Each year, Americans trash a
prodigious portion of their closets:
26 billion pounds of apparel, tex-
tiles and footwear, according to the
Environmental Protection Agency.
The amount thrown out by con-
sumers surged 40 percent in 2009
from 1999 and is expected to zoom
up another 40 percent by 2019, the
agency said. The effort to scale it
all back has been around for years
via thrift stores, clothing swaps and
resale shops.
In 23 years of operation, Nike
Inc.’s Reuse-a-Shoe program has
turned 28 million pairs of used
athletic footwear into coatings for
playing courts, running tracks and
other sports surfaces. Despite its
do-gooder glow, the circular econ-
omy isn’t free of detractors. They
say it encourages “green washing,”
a phenomenon in which companies
claim to be eco-friendly but end
up contributing the same amount
of waste as their peers or more.
Others are skeptical of the move-
ment’s proﬁt-earning potential.
Even Yerdle’s Ruben, who antici-
pates $1.3 million in angel investor
funding by year-end, said he’s still
experimenting with how to make
money. Potential tactics include
paid transactions between users,
from which Yerdle would take a
commission, or moving services
with a fee, he said.
Still, collective consumerism
has gained traction as more com-
panies tout quality over quan-
tity amid rising textile prices and
fast-fashion fatigue. There’s also
the problem of tragic accidents in
foreign sweatshops, such as the
recent Bangladeshi factory build-
ing collapse that killed more than
1,000 people, many of them sew-
ing garments for Western retailers.
In addition, global warming and
other environmental concerns have
piqued Americans’ curiosity about
their consumption patterns.
Many major retailers are start-
ing with the easiest tactic: recy-
cling. H&M started its Long Live
Fashion program this year, giving
customers a 15 percent-off voucher
for each bag of old clothing brought
into stores. Garments too ratty to
be worn are reincarnated as new
material such as insulation and
carpet padding. Intact garb is sent
abroad as secondhand goods. North
Face has a similar setup, known as
Clothes the Loop. Gap ran its own
version in 2010. And Levi Strauss
& Co., through a partnership with
Goodwill, uses its product care tags
to encourage customers to donate
unwanted clothing.
But even with discounts and
other incentives, 64 percent of
Americans don’t want to drive
more than ﬁve miles to drop off
their old clothing or shoes, accord-
ing to USAgain, which recycles
textiles. Many prefer the conve-
nience of a nearby trash can. So
some companies are trying to add
extra value to worn-out fabrics and
unwanted scraps by using them to
create products that improve on the
original, a concept known as upcy-
cling. Liz Bordessa and her daugh-
ter, Christina Johnson, launched
Upcycle It Now to give Bordessa’s
tailoring and alterations business
a boost after the recession. The
Long Beach, Calif., company now
partners with Patagonia to make
yoga mat slings from old board
shorts and dog jackets out of used
rain gear and ﬂeece outerwear. Last
summer, Topshop featured a small
collection of clothing made from
discarded materials. Looptworks
of Portland, Ore., offers repur-
posed goods such as laptop sleeves
built from scrap wet-suit neoprene.

STRONG START
The last time the stock market had this strong a January-through-
June run, Seinfeld was still making new episodes. The S&P 500
rose 12.6 percent in the first half of 2013, its best first-half of a
year since a 16.8 percent climb in 1998. Although it may be
worrisome for the market to pack a year’s worth of gains into six
months, it doesn’t mean the index will necessarily run out of gas.
In 1998, the S&P 500 rose another 7.2 percent from July
through December. That’s similar to other times that the index has
gained more than 10 percent in the first half of a year: In the 20
times that it’s happened since 1945, the index has gained an
average of 7.5 percent in the second half of the year.

JULY HIGH?
Summer hasn’t historically been a
vacation for stock investors, and this
year’s has seen another rough start.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell
1.5 percent in June for its first
monthly loss since October. That fits
with history: Since 1945, June has
been the fourth-worst month of the
year for the S&P 500, with a nearly
break-even average performance.
August has historically been the
third-worst month for the index, and
September has been the worst. But
July has been an exception, offering
some summertime relief. Its average
climb of 0.9 percent beats the
average gain of 0.7 percent for the
index across all 12 months, accord-
ing to S&P Capital IQ.
SAME LANGUAGE
How much does oil cost? De-
pending on where you are, the
answer is different. In New
York, traders talk about West
Texas Intermediate crude,
which is different from the Brent
crude that is traded in London.
The prices can diverge sharply.
Earlier this year, the U.S. price
was more than $20 per barrel
cheaper because of higher sup-
ply levels at U.S. distribution
points. But the difference has
narrowed in recent weeks. On
Monday, it was just $5. Much of
that is due to recent flooding in
Canada, which has cut off
some supplies to the U.S., Bar-
clays Research says. Source: S&P Capital IQ

Who he is: Deputy Chief U.S.
Economist, UBS
His outlook:
Expect more volatility
Interviewed by Christopher S.
Rugaber. Answers edited for con-
tent and clarity.
Drew Matus
Although many economists expect
sluggish growth for the rest of this
year, Drew Matus, deputy chief
U.S. economist at UBS, is more
optimistic. He expects growth will
accelerate and top an annual rate
of 3 percent in the next six months,
after growing at less than a 2
percent rate in the first half of this
year. Matus has previously worked
as an economist at Bank of America
Merrill Lynch and as a markets
analyst at the Federal Reserve.
What factors do you think will
accelerate growth?
There’s a lot of forward momentum
in the economy right now,
particularly with regard to the U.S.
consumer. So incomes adjusted
for inflation are doing OK. There’s
good job growth, there’s improving
consumer confidence, and we’re
beginning to see signs of more
credit availability. All those factors
should be supportive of U.S.
consumption growth.
How will housing contribute to
faster growth?
There’s a pickup in demand for
homes, you’ve got a pickup in
home prices, which are all good,
and then we have all the secondary
effects. When people buy a home,
they might have to buy a TV, they
might have to buy bedding, they
might have to buy a car, and so
you begin to see all these second
level orders of activity occurring.
For most people, their home is
their single biggest asset and for
most people, they’re beginning to
see their home price inch up a bit,
whereas in the past few years the
news wasn’t as good. Higher home
prices will encourage people to
spend more.
The Federal Reserve has
recently indicated that it may
slow its bond purchases and
mortgage and other interest
rates rose in response. Are you
worried that will slow growth?
We should bear in mind that those
increases in rates might also make
banks more willing to lend. Before,
with rates at a very, very low level,
you would be that much more
cautious about lending to someone
if you could charge them only 3
percent, rather than 4.5.
There’s no real indication that it
has impacted people’s willingness
to buy a home. We’re still seeing
very healthy levels of housing
activity, which begs the question
of whether or not an increase in
mortgage rates actually prompted
people to move off the sidelines
and get into the housing market
while the getting was good.
How will changes to the Fed’s
stimulus impact markets?
As we head toward the year end
there’s going to be a transition in
Fed policy, and as we start the
new year, there is likely going to
be a transition in Fed leadership.
Usually, either one of those events
in and of themselves creates some
volatility, and you’re going to have
both happening at the same time.
We should expect more volatility in
the financial markets as we move
into year-end.

Investing in Dogs doesn’t sound like a good strategy,
but it can be an easy starting point for new investors.
The “Dogs of the Dow” are the 10 stocks in the
Dow Jones industrial average with the highest
dividend yields at the start of the year. The yield is the
annual dividend divided by the stock price. Following
the Dog strategy can help you buy blue chip stocks at
bargain prices. That’s because a stock’s yield is often
high because its price has dropped.
To follow the strategy, investors buy the Dogs in
January. At the end of the year, they adjust their
portfolio to reflect the 10 highest yields at that point in
time. The Dogs have beaten the Dow for the last
three years. Their 10.3 percent return in 2012 edged
out the Dow by less than 1 percent.

Companies keep sending bigger checks to their investors.
Dividend payments made by companies in the Standard &
Poor’s 500 index were 13.9 percent higher
in the first six months of the year than in the
year-ago period, according to S&P Dow
Jones Indices. That puts the index on track for its third
straight year of dividend growth above 10 percent. The
longest such streak is four years. It happened from 2004
through 2007 and from 1947 through 1950. This screen
shows the companies in the S&P 500 that have at least
doubled their dividends so far this year.
The biggest rise came from Capital One Financial, which
increased its quarterly dividend in May to 30 cents from 5
cents. It’s one of several financial companies to
significantly increase its dividend, including Zions Bancorp
and Regions Financial.

Mortgage rates ease
Mortgage rates fell last week, giving up some of
their sharp run-up from June. The average rate
on a 30-year fixed mortgage dropped to 4.29
percent, according to Freddie Mac. That’s down
from 4.46 percent a week earlier, but it’s still
above its 3.81 percent rate at the end of May. It’s
also well above the record-low rate of 3.31
percent set in November.

Power Up
Fluor (NYSE: FLR) offers engi-
neering, procurement, construction,
maintenance and project manage-
ment services globally, serving the
oil-and-gas, power, infrastructure and
government markets, among others.
Its recent growth has been sluggish,
but its future seems bright.
Some have worried about the
U.S. government’s sequester-caused
budget cuts, which could hurt future
orders for Fluor’s services from the
Department of Energy or Defense.
Despite that, Fluor’s ties to the private
energy and independent oil-and-gas
sector make it a very attractive bet
over the long run.
President Obama has made it clear
that he’d like to see America become
more energy independent. This will
likely result in the construction of
new drilling rigs as well as more
energy-efficient power plants, and
also more pipeline and storage tanks
capable of holding an increasing
number of natural gas and oil finds.
Fluor’s bread-and-butter business is
these energy and oil-and-gas projects.
In just the last quarter alone, Fluor
received $6.5 billion in awards —
with $3.1 billion coming from the oil-
and-gas sector — and its total back-
log rose 11 percent to $18.6 billion.
With a forward-looking price-to-
earnings (P/E) ratio of about 13, Flu-
or’s stock seems fairly to attractively
priced and should reward long-term
investors. More risk-averse sorts
might wait and hope for a pullback
in price. (The Motley Fool owns

My Dumbest Investment
The Short Story
Years ago, I bought stock in
a company that my girlfriend
worked for. I had been watching it
and thought it was undervalued at
$34 per share. So I bought
about $5,000 worth. As I
had hoped, it soon made a
modest gain. Then rumors arose
that the company would not meet
its third-quarter projections and
that the stock was expected to
fall. Well, I sold — and made a
little profit. Two days later it was
announced that the company was
going to be acquired, and its stock
rose to $60.
It goes to show that if you
believe in a company, stick with
it. Day-trading or short-term trad-
ing is no longer an option for me.
I will focus on the long term when
it comes to solid companies. —
R.A., Tucson, Ariz.
The Fool Responds: You’re
right. Lots of great companies
encounter occasional hiccups. It’s
often best to hang on, as long as
you retain long-term faith in their
future — especially if you consider
them undervalued. Rumors can be
dangerous, too, as they won’t nec-
essarily come to pass. Strong stocks
tend to rise over time.

Look Forward
Q
I’m invested in a mutual
fund with a 5.5 percent
front-end load. Should I sell it
and switch to a no-load fund? —
H.Z., Medford, Ore.
A
That’s a hefty fee, but
you’ve already paid it, when
you invested in the fund. So look
forward, not backward. If you
don’t like the fund’s performance,
consider selling it. There are
many terrific no-load funds out
there. (Learn more at fool.com/

Also, check out the fund’s
annual fees. If its expense ratio
is much more than 1 percent,
that’s not promising. Some index
funds will charge you less than
0.10 percent.

Q
How does online stock trading
work, and is it safe? — T.W.,
Goshen, Ind.
A
It’s not as scary as it may seem,
and is even preferred by many
investors. It’s generally inexpensive,
with many brokerages charging less
than $10 per trade. Also, you can
examine orders carefully before
placing them.
To get started investing
online, visit the website of the
brokerage you’re interested in.
There, you’ll probably be able to
download or print forms with
which to open an account, or
you’ll find a phone number
to call for help and informa-
tion. Fill out and submit the
application form along with pay-
ment to fund the account. You’ll
then receive an account number
and can set up a password. Use
those to log in at the website. From
there you can check the status
of your portfolio and account, or
place an order whenever you want.
All reputable online brokerages
have security measures in place.
Before opening an account,
read up on them at the website
or call and ask about them.

Don’t Over-Concentrate
It’s good to be focused, but when
it comes to parking your hard-earned
dollars in stocks, don’t put too many
eggs in too few baskets. Here are a
few ways that we investors fall short
of effective diversification:
(1) Owning too much company
stock of our employer. The ben-
efits of owning our company stock
often include the ability to purchase
it at a discount and to be
able to easily dollar-cost
average into the position.
Employees also tend to know a lot
about their company and industry,
which can give them an edge.
Nevertheless, too much of a good
thing is still too much. Enron serves
as a classic example of how own-
ing company stock can go horribly
wrong. Remember that you already
depend on your employer for your
income. It’s kind of risky to depend
on it for the bulk of your invest-
ments, too.

industry with which we are very

In urban revival beer creates small business hubs
NEW YORK — To see how
a small business can transform
a neighborhood, just follow the
barrels.
About 30 years ago, beer
lovers wanting to create their
own drinks started taking over
abandoned old buildings in
rundown city districts, reﬁtted
them with tanks, kettles and
casks, and started churning
out beer. The byproduct was
a boom in craft beer drinkers:
Barrels shipped have more than
doubled in the past decade,
according to trade publication
Beer Marketer’s Insights. Craft
beer now makes up nearly 7
percent of the slow-growing
U.S. beer market.
But beer drinkers weren’t the
only beneﬁciaries. The arrival
of a craft brewery was also
often one of the ﬁrst signs that
a neighborhood was changing.
From New England to the West
Coast, new businesses bubbled
up around breweries, drawing
young people and creating a
vibrant community where fami-
lies could plant roots and small
businesses could thrive.
It happened in Cleveland.
Once an industrial power-
house, the Rust Belt city has
been losing residents since the
1950s. Manufacturing jobs dis-
appeared. The city nearly went
bankrupt in 1978.
Marred by abandoned build-
ings and boarded-up stores
after several hard decades, the
downtown Ohio City neighbor-
hood, just west of the Cuyahoga
River, which divides Cleveland,
was “perceived as dangerous
and blighted” into the 1980s,
says Eric Wobser. He works for
Ohio City Inc., a nonproﬁt that
promotes residential and com-
mercial development while try-
ing to preserve the neighbor-
hood’s older buildings.
Enter Great Lakes Brewing,
which opened in 1988. Over
the years, it’s built a brewery
and a brewpub from structures
that once housed a feed store, a
saloon and a livery stable.
“We resurrected all of them,”
says Pat Conway, who founded
Great Lakes with his brother,
Daniel. “We’ve beautiﬁed the
neighborhood, provided a stun-
ning restoration.”
Other breweries and busi-
nesses — a pasta maker, a bike
shop, a tortilla factory, as well
as restaurants and bars — fol-
lowed. Newcomers are ﬂock-
ing to the neighborhood, even
though Cleveland’s overall pop-
ulation is still declining. The
city repaved the quiet street
next to the brewery, Market
Ave., with cobblestones, and
poured millions into renovat-
ing the West Side Market,
whose origins date back to
the 19th century. Today, more
than 100 vendors sell produce,
meat, cheese and other foods
there.
What’s going on in Cleveland
is happening across the coun-
try. Trendy small businesses
like breweries and younger
residents have been returning
to downtown neighborhoods
in many cities across the U.S.
The biggest cities are growing
faster than the suburbs around
them, according to Census
data.
Another beneﬁt of the brew-
ery boom: Manufacturers like
brewers typically pay workers
more than service businesses
like restaurants or shops do.
That’s good for local econo-
mies.
But for some, the bubbles
are bursting. In Brooklyn, N.Y.,
breweries are feeling the heat
from rising real estate costs.
When Brooklyn Brewery
opened in the Williamsburg
section of the borough in 1996,
its neighbors were mostly
deserted warehouses and facto-
ries. Today, Brooklyn Brewery
is surrounded by modern apart-
ment buildings, trendy bars,
shops and restaurants. There’s
still some grafﬁti, but that
hasn’t deterred the inﬂux of
new residents willing to spend
a lot of money to live there. In
the past decade, home values
in the Brewery’s neighborhood
have more than doubled — up
145 percent, according to real
estate appraiser Miller Samuel.

KEEP YOUR TEMPER:
Losing your temper can
really work against you.
“When you let passion,
emotion and anger be the
source of your energy as
you write, that’s not going
to serve you very well,”
Mark said. “If you just say
nasty, nasty things about
somebody, that doesn’t
necessarily encourage
them to want to work
with you.”
DON’T VENT
ONLINE: It’s not uncom-
mon these days for con-
sumers to vent their frus-
tration at a company on
the Internet. But watch
what you say on social
media because you could
ﬁnd yourself on the other
end of a lawsuit.
“Due to the rapid
growth of online and
social media over the past
few years, the number of
defamation cases involv-
ing online content has
increased signiﬁcantly,”
said Mark Johansen, a
commercial litigator at
Gruber Hurst Johansen
Hail Shank LLP in Dallas.
“While companies solic-
it customers’ comments
and reviews on products
Yip

and services that the com-
panies offer, a customer
certainly can have some
exposure for defamation
if the statements are
proven to be false and
defamatory,” he said.
So always state the
truth and stick to the
facts.
“People should only
post things that are true,
and not call people liars
and dishonest because
it comes off badly,” said
Peter Vogel, a partner
at the Gardere Wynne
Sewell LLP law ﬁrm.
“You never know that
somebody’s not going
to sue you for libel and
then you end up having
to spend a lot of time and
energy defending your-
self.”
KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS: “If you know
what your rights are
and you sound like you
understand what you’re
entitled to, you have a
better chance of win-
ning the argument with a
company than if you just
go in screaming and yell-
ing, sounding like you’re
being unreasonable,”
Giorgianni said.
Basic warranty rights
are very important to
know, Giorgianni said.
Be sure to keep your war-
ranty documents.
DON’T SETTLE FOR
LESS: Businesses may
offer you a discount on
another product instead
of ﬁxing or replacing the
item you’re dissatisﬁed
with. Make sure that
satisﬁes your problem
before you accept.
“Don’t settle for
an inadequate solu-
tion to your problem,”
Giorgianni said. “Don’t
let a company buy you
off by offering something
less than you’re entitled
to.”
Fight back, but make it
count.

“Our position is it’s a short-term,

Minutes from the cellphone lot
is a Wawa convenience store with

ists to turn off car engines.
Joshua Kocses of Princeton, N.J.,
said that if there were more space,
he’d like to see a concession stand.
“Other than that, it’s deﬁnitely con-
venient. It’s nice to drive and not

economy’s future, they won’t be spend-
ing; businesses, in turn, won’t reinvest
proﬁts until customers return, Clinch
said. Even as conditions improve, job
openings must grow another 10 percent
to 20 percent to get back to pre-recession
levels, he added.
With the expansion of the job market,
more than half of the 153 organizations
surveyed by consulting ﬁrm OI Partners
reported higher turnover, according
to research released in May. And that
involved all types of jobs, including mid-
dle managers and senior-level executives.
Employers are responding — espe-
cially to supervisors and those tagged as
future leaders — by offering job coach-
ing and increasing pay and beneﬁts, said
Patty Prosser, chair of OI Partners. Front-
line employees are being given improved
training and perks such as tuition reim-
bursement and ﬂexible hours and sched-
ules.
“Companies are getting aggressive
with counteroffers of more money or
better quality of life,” said Patrice Rice,
founder of Patrice & Associates, a hospi-
tality recruiting agency near Annapolis,
Md. “A lot are starting to put together
packages for employees that are more
attractive. … The job seekers are using
the new job offers to get a better oppor-
tunity at their current position.”
Finding replacement workers, mean-
while, can be difﬁcult.
In the restaurant industry, which tra-
ditionally has high turnover, replacing a
manager can take two months, Rice said.
The restaurant must advertise the job,
screen candidates and conduct in-person
interviews, background checks and per-
sonality tests, she said. Candidates are
plentiful, but qualiﬁed ones are not, she
added.
Even within the past year, employees
were afraid to change jobs because of
the nationwide ﬁnancial instability, Rice
said. “People were worried about wheth-
er a restaurant or hotel chain would be
able to stay open or have to close a loca-
tion.”
But now conﬁdence among workers
in the hospitality industry is rising, she
said. Restaurants are opening new loca-
tions, hotels are expanding, and compa-
nies are seeking managers, shift leaders,
cooks and servers.
Some workers have become less will-
ing to wait for raises.
“If you’re told to wait a year, you
don’t want to wait a year,” said Emily
Testerman, a 2010 graduate of Stevenson
(Md.) University who has found oppor-
tunities whenever she has looked into
changing jobs. “You work hard and want
to make more, so you look.”
Testerman, 24, left a job in November
to work as a retail marketing manager
for Diamond Comic Distributors in
Timonium, Md. It’s the third company
she’s worked for out of college. She land-
ed her ﬁrst full-time job in fall 2010 as a
public relations coordinator for Vitamin,
a Canton, Md.-based graphic design and
public relations ﬁrm, and worked there
for a year.
“I ended up leaving because it really,
really delved into the PR stuff, and … it
wasn’t my thing,” she said. “I was super-
grateful for working there but started
looking 10 months in.”
She was hired as an account manager
at Adcieo LLC, a Baltimore agency that
works with nonproﬁt groups on email
campaigns. After working there for a
year, she thought about looking else-
where once again. Before she could start,
she got a call from Diamond, which had
interviewed her previously.
Her job with Diamond, for which she
writes a column and newsletter aimed at
comic shop owners, came with a bigger
salary and more opportunity. For the ﬁrst
time, Testerman feels she won’t need to
start looking again anytime soon.
Testerman believes she has progressed
because she’s realistic and open-minded
about her options. As an English major
in college, she originally wanted to write
for magazines.
“I don’t scour the job sites search-
ing for something that’s exactly what
I thought I wanted to do,” she said.
“I don’t just search ‘entertainment
writer,’ because that’s not going to be
there. You have to be flexible and real-
ize you could end up somewhere that
you could make work. If you can use the
skills you’ve learned or you’re good at,
you’ll do OK as long as you can move
along there.”
Many job seekers who applied for the
more than 2,000 openings at Maryland
Live casino in Hanover were hoping to
use skills they had learned elsewhere to
move into positions with more poten-
tial for advancement, said Howard
Weinstein, the casino’s senior vice presi-
dent overseeing human resources.
Carol Pennachio, a 48-year-old
Frederick, Md., native, had been working
in hotel hospitality when she showed up
at Maryland Live’s hiring center the day
it opened in January 2012. Recruiters
there suggested that she interview for an
entry-level steward position, and hinted
at the potential for quick promotion.
She’s twice been given more responsibil-
ity and is now executive steward, manag-
ing six other supervisors.
“I just wanted to join a company that
was growing, so that I could grow with
it,” Pennachio said. “Here was a chance
to use skills I had learned elsewhere in a
position that has better salary and better
hours.”

SUMMER SCHOLARS
Don’t blame state Dems
for failed GOP agenda
Boosting transportation fund-
ing, pension reform and privatiz-
ing the state liquor store system
were among Gov. Tom Corbett’s
top priorities when he unveiled
his 2013-14 budget plan in
February.
It was an ambitious plan.
Too ambitious for a governor
who clearly lacks the clout he
thinks he has.
Even with his Republican col-
leagues in control of both the
state House and Senate, not one
of those items reached his desk
for a signature by Sunday’s bud-
get deadline.
We have to wonder if Corbett
could lead lemmings off a cliff.
It didn’t help that his lem-
mings couldn’t agree on a cliff.
GOP leaders in the House sent
the Senate a liquor store priva-
tization plan, while the Senate’s
leadership sent the House a
transportation plan.
Neither caucus wanted the
other to tinker much with the
bills, and the resulting standoff
doomed both. (Corbett’s pension
reform bill never gained traction
in either chamber.)
How did this fiasco happen?
If you ask state Rep. Ron
Miller, the Jacobus Republican
lays the blame for the transpor-
tation bill’s demise squarely on
… Democrats.
“There was not a single vote
coming out of the Democratic
caucus,” he said.
Again, Republicans control
both chambers and set the agen-
das.
Since when do they need
Democratic votes to pass laws?
They didn’t need them to pass
last year’s controversial voter
ID law, for example, or the lame
natural gas extraction fee law
a year earlier. Those were both
mostly party-line votes.
Granted, it would have been
helpful if some Democrats had
supported the $2 billion House
bill to deal with Pennsylvania’s
crumbling transportation infra-
structure.
But did the Republican leader-
ship seriously try to work with
any Democrat to earn his or
her vote? We find that unlikely,
given the difficulty it had with
its own rank and file.
No, this mess belongs to
Corbett and Republicans legisla-
tors — and the House members
shoulder more blame than the
senators.
The Senate took the initiative
on a safety issue that affects
every resident of Pennsylvania.
The House, on the other hand,
made liquor store privatization
its priority.
While we believe the state
should get out of the booze busi-
ness — no one’s life is at risk if
it doesn’t.
The same can’t be said about
the sorry state of our roads and
bridges.
Some Republicans say they
believe they can get the job done
on both bills in the fall.
We hope so, for all our sakes.
But after this, we don’t share
that optimism.
The York Dispatch
In 2009 when Gov. Ed
Rendell defunded the
Governor’s Schools of
Excellence, the residential sum-
mer program for high school
students, it was more than
a $3.2 million budget cut. It
was an incalculable loss to the
educations of the state’s top
academic achievers.
The Governor’s Schools were
scattered about the state at col-
leges and universities including
Carnegie Mellon, Pitt, Penn
State and Drexel. Each offered
a program in a specific field:
the arts; agricultural science;
global entrepreneurship; infor-
mation, society and technol-
ogy; health care; international
studies; sciences and teaching.
Some of the schools dated back
to the 1970s.
Although Gov. Tom Corbett
and the Legislature have yet to
act and resurrect the program,
even though its cost would be
a tiny part of the state’s $28.4
billion budget, the Governor’s
School for the Sciences has
returned this summer due
to the generosity and smart
thinking of alumni and corpo-
rate sponsors. The five-week
program for 60 students will
return to Carnegie Mellon
because of $150,000 in dona-
tions from EQT Corp., AT&T,
PPG, Teva Pharmaceuticals and
others. The state Education
Department provided a match-
ing grant of equal amount.
With a shortage of American
students who are not just pro-
ficient but truly excellent in
math and science, programs
like this are necessary. For the
four years that the Governor’s
School for the Sciences was
dark, imagine the hundreds of
young Pennsylvanians whose
passions to become future
doctors, scientists, engineers
or mathematicians were not
set on fire. Last year, it was
reported that 3 million jobs in
the United States were unfilled,
many of them for lack of skilled
workers in science, technology,
engineering and math.
Even beyond science, enrich-
ment programs strengthen the
academic and social skills of
Pennsylvania students. Giving
young people such opportuni-
ties keeps them from being
idle during the summer and
extends their learning and
development.
The private donors who
revived the Governor’s School
for the Sciences deserve to be
applauded. Now, if only state
officials would show similar
enlightenment and bring the
other schools back.
Another day at work, another rodeo
A FEW YEARS ago a young woman
was hired to design news and feature
pages for the Times Leader. The usual
hiring and vetting procedure was
ignored. The new editor/publisher at
the time announced, “here she is.”
Well, change is never easy and we
were thoroughly put off. She was from
Texas and to us seemed as familiar as a
cactus in a valley cabbage patch.
We suffered through her cheer-
ful Texas demeanor and she suf-
fered our Rust Belt suspicions.
Guess who won?
Lindsey Jones had an indomi-
table spirit, enthusiasm and a
bright eye reﬂected in her work.
Her pages brought light to The
Times Leader. She won awards
for her work. Her designs won
praise from readers and advertis-
ers. She won over the staff.
Sweet but forceful, collabora-
tive but opinionated, Lindsey proved
herself a team player. Her colorful
colloquialisms were a welcome coun-
terpoint to the dark humor of our
newsroom. Tasked with a project, she’d
dismiss the challenge. “We’ve ridden
that rodeo before.”
Lindsey was dependable, creative
and optimistic. She was a keeper.
Wouldn’t you know it, after nearly
four years a life change made Texas
more appealing than Pennsylvania and
Miss Lindsey left us. She may have left
but she kept on working here. We kept
Lindsey on staff and she continued to
design pages in Pennsylvania through
an Internet connection from her home
in Texas.
We dedicated a computer in the
newsroom to her and she patched in
and designed pages here, from there.
She worked from our budgets, com-
municated by email, text and phone.
She designed complete features sec-
tions every day, as well as special sec-
tions, the Guide, the Proﬁle section
and in a pinch she even designed the
entire Times Leader news section - on
deadline - when the scheduled page
designer called in sick. She’d do all 8
or so pages, working with reporters
and editors and photographers here,
turning out a professional section on
deadline. The designed conformed to
our style and the expectations of
our readers.
Several times when I felt at a
loss to get things done, Lindsey
came through.
I cite Lindsey’s work to people
these days when I explain that
The Times Leader and its asso-
ciated community papers have
moved to page pagination – the
layout and assembly of pages
– through a pagination hub in
Miamisburg, Ohio. It is the plan
of our new company — Civitas
Media — to have papers through-
out North Carolina, South Carolina,
Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Virginia,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia,
Kentucky and Tennessee assembled in
this fashion.
It’s not a new concept – the Gannett
chain has design hubs. Two of our for-
mer award-winning page designers —
employees who worked with Lindsey
here — took their careers to a new
level by taking jobs at Gannett hubs.
One went to a hub in Arizona, another
to New Jersey. They create pages for
many different papers. They post their
work online and it is good.
So it can be done.
The transition here has not been
without some pain. Since we started in
June most of the pages of The Times
Leader, The Sunday Dispatch, The
Dallas Post, The Abington Journal and
The Weekender have been paginated at
the hub. And at the same time, we’ve
switched letter fonts and layout styles.
Those familiar fonts we have used for
more than 12 years — Cheltenham,
Sun Display and Helvetica — have
been replaced with Benton Sans and
Miller Banner. They are as unfamiliar
to us as they are to our readers. We
are adjusting to writing headlines with
these new styles.
Page layout is different than what
readers previously saw in The Times
Leader and associated papers. Our
page designers had developed a style
honed over years and at the training
of numerous professionals. Our page
designers were mostly journalism
school grads and all were seasoned
journalists – copy editors and word-
smiths. They did great work.
They are also local folks. When the
design work moved to the hub they
were all invited to keep their jobs with
the same beneﬁts if they moved to
Ohio.
Just as Lindsey did, they felt the tug
of home. Rich, Joe, Irene and Rick said
“no” to jobs in Ohio in order to stay
here in Pennsylvania without a job, but
with friends and family.
That’s a loss to our newsroom and
our readers and a tale familiar through-
out the news business and many other
businesses that are navigating change.
That change is rarely easy and it is for-
ever inevitable.
In the meantime, pardon our dust.
Editors here who do the assigning and
assembling have an idea of what needs
to be gathered for the presentation of a
story in print and online. Getting our
vision onto that ﬁnal page has been
elusive.
But we continue to try. We’ve all
been in a few rodeos before.

Last week was bittersweet
for the cause of human dig-
nity.
On one hand, the Supreme
Court gave us reason for
applause, striking down
barriers against the full
citizenship of gay men and
lesbians. On the other, it gave
us reason for dread, gutting
the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
The 5-4 decision was stun-
ning and despicable, but not
unexpected. The country has
been moving in this direction
for years.
The act is sometimes called
the crown jewel of the Civil
Rights Movement, but it was
even more than that, the most
important piece of legisla-
tion in the cause of African-
American freedom since
Reconstruction. And in shred-
ding it, the court commits
its gravest crime against that
freedom since Plessy v.
Ferguson in 1896.
That decision ratified
segregation, capping
a 30-year campaign by
conservative Southern
Democrats to overturn
the results of the Civil
War. Given that the
Voting Rights Act now
lies in tatters even as
Republicans embrace
Voter I.D. schemes
to suppress the black
vote, given that GOP star
Rand Paul has questioned the
constitutionality of the 1964
Civil Rights Act, one has to
wonder if the results of the
Civil Rights Movement do
not face a similar fate.
Or, as Georgia Rep. John
Lewis put it when I spoke
with him Monday, “Can his-
tory repeat itself?”
Lewis was the great hero
of the battle for voting
rights, a then-25-year-
old activist who had
his skull broken by
Alabama state troop-
ers on Edmund Pettus
Bridge in Selma, while
leading a march against
the use of poll taxes,
literacy tests, morals
tests, economic intimi-
dation, clubs, guns and
bombs to deny black
people the ballot. The
law he helped enact required
states and counties with his-
tories of voting discrimina-
tion to seek federal approval
before changing their voting
procedures. (Those that
behaved themselves for a
decade could be released
from that requirement.)
The court struck down
the formula the law uses to
determine where discrimina-
tion lives (and therefore,
which jurisdictions should
be covered), saying the
dates are too old to be reli-
able. As Chief Justice John
Roberts noted in writing for
the majority, the country has
changed dramatically since
that era. African-American
electoral participation is at
levels undreamt of in 1965.
And so it is. Because. The
Act. Worked.
Using that success as an
excuse to cripple it, noted
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
in her dissent, is like “throw-
ing away your umbrella in a
rainstorm because you are
not getting wet.” Indeed, had
the nation not changed dra-
matically since 1965, would
that not have been cited as
evidence of the act’s failure?
Damned if you do, damned
if you don’t, then: the Voting
Rights Act never had a
chance.
This court, said Lewis,
“plunged a dagger in the
heart” of the freedom move-
ment. Nor is it lost on him
that the majority which
struck down this bedrock
of black freedom included
a black jurist: Clarence
Thomas. “The brother on the
court,” said Lewis, “I think
he’s lost his way.”
So what now? Lewis says
we must push Congress for
legislation to “put teeth back
in the Voting Rights Act.”
Given that this Congress is
notorious for its adamantine
uselessness, that seems far-
fetched, but Lewis insists
bipartisan discussion is
already underway.
Fine. Let us demand that
bickering, dysfunctional body
do what is needed. But let us
— African-Americans and all
believers in freedom — also
serve notice that, whatever
lawmakers do, we will not
stand placidly by as history
repeats and citizenship is
repealed, but that we will
energetically resist by every
moral means.
Saying that, I hear the
ghostly echo of those who,
once upon a generation,
marched into southern jails,
singing “Ain’t gonna let
nobody turn me around.” It
is an ancient song of defiance
that feels freshly — sadly —
relevant to our times.

The economy stagnates. Syria
burns. Scandals lap at his feet.
China and Russia mock him,
even as a “29-year-old hacker”
revealed his nation’s spy secrets
to the world. How does President
Obama respond? With a
grandiloquent speech on
climate change.
Climate change? It
lies at the very bottom
of a list of Americans’
concerns (last of 21
— Pew poll). Which
means that Obama’s
declaration of unilateral
American war on global
warming, whatever the
cost — and it will be
heavy — is either highly
visionary or hopelessly solipsis-
tic. You decide:
Global temperatures have been
ﬂat for 16 years — a curious
time to unveil a grand, hugely
costly, socially disruptive anti-
warming program.
Now, this inconvenient ﬁnd-
ing is not dispositive. It doesn’t
mean there is no global warming.
But it is something that the very
complex global warming mod-
els that Obama naively claims
represent settled science have
trouble explaining. It therefore
highlights the president’s pre-
sumption in dismissing skeptics
as ﬂat-earth know-nothings.
On the contrary. It’s ﬂat-
earthers like Obama who refuse
to acknowledge the problematic
nature of contradictory data. It’s
ﬂat-earthers like Obama who cite
a recent Alaskan heat wave — a
freak event in one place at one
time — as presumptive evidence
of planetary climate change. It’s
ﬂat-earthers like Obama who cite
perennial phenomenon such as
droughts as cosmic retribution
for environmental sinfulness.
For the sake of argument,
nonetheless, let’s concede that
global warming is precisely
what Obama thinks it is. Then
answer this: What in God’s name
is his massive new regulatory
and spending program — which
begins with a war on coal and
ends with billions in more subsi-
dies for new Solyndras — going
to do about it?
The U.S. has already radically
cut CO2 emissions — more than
any country on earth since 2006,
according to the International
Energy Agency. Emissions today
are back down to 1992 levels.
And yet, at the same time,
global emissions have gone up.
That’s because — surprise! —
we don’t control the energy
use of the other 96 percent of
humankind.
At the heart of Obama’s pro-
gram are EPA regulations that
will make it impossible to open
any new coal plant and will sys-
tematically shut down existing
plants. “Politically, the White
House is hesitant to say they’re
having a war on coal,” explained
one of Obama’s climate advisers.
“On the other hand, a war on
coal is exactly what’s needed.”
Net effect: tens of thousands of
jobs killed, entire states
impoverished. This at a
time of chronically and
crushingly high unem-
ployment, slow growth,
jittery markets and deep
economic uncertainty.
But that’s not the
worst of it. This massive
self-sacriﬁce might be
worthwhile if it did actu-
ally stop global warming
and save the planet.
What makes the whole
idea nuts is that it won’t. This
massive self-inﬂicted economic
wound will have no effect on cli-
mate change.
The have-nots are rapidly
industrializing. As we speak,
China and India together are
opening one new coal plantevery
week. We can kill U.S. coal and
devastate coal country all we
want, but the industrializing
Third World will more than make
up for it. The net effect of the
Obama plan will simply be dis-
mantling the U.S. coal industry
for shipping abroad.
To think we will get these
countries to cooperate is sheer
fantasy. We’ve been negotiating
climate treaties for 20 years and
gotten exactly nowhere. China,
India and the other rising and
modernizing countries point
out that the West had a 150-year
industrial head start that made
it rich. They are still poor. And
now, just as they are beginning
to get rich, we’re telling them to
stop dead in their tracks?
Fat chance. Obama imagines
he’s going to cajole China into a
greenhouse-gas emissions reduc-
tion that will slow its economy,
increase energy costs, derail
industrialization and risk enor-
mous social unrest. This from a
president who couldn’t even get
China to turn over one Edward
Snowden to U.S. custody.
I’m not against a global pact to
reduce CO2 emissions. Indeed,
I favor it. But in the absence of
one — and there is no chance
of getting one in the foreseeable
future — there is no point in
America committing economic
suicide to no effect on climate
change, the reversing of which,
after all, is the alleged point of
the exercise.
For a president to propose this
with such aggressive certainty is
incomprehensible. It is the stark-
est of examples of belief that is
impervious to evidence. And the
word for that is faith, not sci-
ence.

grim days
of war
In his letter to the editor
(June 12), Harold Rosenn
recalls “one of the most memo-
rable days of my life”, when he
participated in the massive air
raid on Berlin in February of
1944, when 1,200 heavy bomb-
ers, each carried 10 500-pound
bombs, to be released over
every section of Berlin.
It was also one of my most
memorable days, albeit from a
different view point: not from
the skies, but from the air raid
shelter of my parents’ Berlin
apartment house. I was a
young girl shaking in fear from
the explosions thundering all
around us and shuddering our
house. My mother, my sister
and I survived that night,
because, although severely
damaged, our house was
spared a direct hit. But thou-
sands of Berliners died that
night, and many thousands
more were to lose their lives
during subsequent American
and British air raids that even-
tually would turn my home-
town into a pile of rubble.
That ﬁrst major air raid, not
only a vivid, but also the ﬁrst
grim war memory of my child-
hood, resulted in the evacua-
tion of mothers and their chil-
dren into safer territory east of
the Oder/Neisse line, annexed
by Hitler and returned to
Poland at the end of the war.
The Red Army occupied
this eastern section in January
1945, leaving more indelibly
horrid memories on a young
mind. The soldiers of the Red
army destroyed wantonly, plun-
dered and raped. One night,
a couple of drunken soldiers
entered our room, which we
shared with other mothers
and their children, My mother
hid me under a pile of heavy
German-type bed covers. The
soldiers did not ﬁnd me, but I
almost suffocated.
Inevitably, in each war— and
since World War Two human-
ity has never been at peace —
the innocent must suffer with
the guilty. Hitler had to be
defeated. But in retrospect, I
have often wondered, whether
it was necessary to bomb into
oblivion so many civilians.
At the time, when the city of
Dresden and most of its inhab-
itants were inundated in a
ﬁrestorm of incendiary bombs,
it was already obvious that the
war was won for the Allies.
Recently, and with my help,
my sister chronicled her life-
long experience as a teacher in
Berlin in her book “Sisyphos’
Heir”. The book describes
her frustrating efforts with
the difﬁculties of keeping the
memory of the Holocaust alive.
It is, as many other Germans
have done and—hopefully will
continue to do — an individual
attempt at atonement for the
unspeakable crimes of Hitler’s
Germany, where I spent my
childhood. Once known as “das
Land der Dichter und Denker”,
the land of my birth is tar-
nished for all times.

Controlling
people through
religion
Sun Tzu says you must know
your enemy.
Although Mr. Obama keeps
reminding us that we are not at
war with Islam, parts of Islam
are at war with us. Letting
them build a mosque, being
nice to them or apologizing
will not placate the radical
amongst them. The Muslim
extremists do not hate our
Republic. They hate that our
freedom and greed has infected
their theocracy. Their fanatic
leaders care nothing for the
Koran save for its ability to let
them keep up appearances and
brainwash vulnerable minds.
Their’s is a struggle for power.
When the Catholic Church
was at its peak power, it
was called the Dark Ages.
Uneducated people are easy
to control. Fearful people are
even easier. The radicals are
using the same ideology that
was used during the Crusades
to bolster their ranks. Religion
makes it easy: A) Bad things
happening to good people?
You’re being tested. B) Good
things happen to bad people?
God works in mysterious
ways. C) Tragic deaths or
natural disaster? God’s will.
D) Contradictory evidence or
opinion? Satan trying to tempt
you.
Religion can be manipulated
to ﬁt any scenario to provide
an unassailable position from
which to tout one’s beliefs.
The terrorist’s Allah is not a
god of mercy like the Christian
god. He is a god of “submission
to the law”. You cannot apply
humane principles of right and
wrong to radical Islam. Just
as the Old Testament God
killed ﬁrst-born babies and lev-
eled cities, the radical’s Allah
demands submission or death.
This is not the Muslim god, but
the radical god. Amazing how
interpretation can turn a cre-
ator’s will 180 degrees.
In the case of the Taliban,
here’s how the anger works;
1) We go to their country for
oil, trade, to beat their neigh-
bors up or whatever.
2) We get their leaders to
kiss our butt and use their own
people for our beneﬁt.
3) Their women see other
women with rights, treated
equal to men. Fundamentalists
can’t have that. It is a threat to
their male dominance.
3) Their children may learn
something other than the
Koran, which is all they are
allowed to learn. Remember,
ignorant people are easy to
control and will not question
what they’re told.
4) Their absolute control
over society begins to crumble
and we’re to blame.
Learn the history of the
Catholic Church. It reads
exactly the same. Now they
hate us.
With the religious fervor
comes the desire to die a mar-
tyr. Most terrorist recruits live
a destitute life, their families
starving, learning nothing of
the outside world other than
what they’re told. They live
on the edge of death everyday,
they eat small bugs and amuse
themselves with pretty rocks.
They have no concept of the
outside world other than what
they are told by those who
would turn them into suicide
bombers for their own agenda.
We help a great deal by pay-
ing their leaders to keep them
submissive.
Like America, the leaders
have all the power and money.
But unlike America there is
no hope to change it, so being
exalted as a martyr in the
eternal afterlife seems a pretty
good deal.

There’s no need
to eat that meat
Every year on the Fourth of
July Americans celebrate their
independence from Colonial
Britain. Many do so by dining
on the slain bodies of fac-
tory farmed animals who have
never known freedom or had
the opportunity to live out
their lives free from depriva-
tion and suffering.
In intensive agribusiness,
animals live miserable lives to
satisfy the tastes of ﬂesh-eating
consumers. As vegetarians
we object to the unnecessary
killing of animals for food, but
also to the modern methods of
raising them by the thousands
in huge conﬁnement sheds,
which causes severe physical
and psychological suffering.
The greatest amount of animal
cruelty is in this industry.
A meat-centered diet also
contributes to world hunger,
because the feeding of protein
crops to animals is an inef-
ﬁcient use of food resources.
There are also the issues of
deforestation, heavy water
usage, and soil erosion from
water run off.
As Americans become more
health conscious, many are
taking the advice of contem-
porary medical professionals
and holistic practioners who
advocate cessation of meat con-
sumption and endorse a plant
based diet. Some feel they
should be commended because
they only eat birds and ﬁsh,
however, birds endure tremen-
dous suffering at slaughter and
ﬁsh die slow agonizing death
from asphyxiation. Humans
can also become immune to
antibiotics since the animals
are injected to combat the high
stress factor of intensive con-
ﬁnement.

and healthy alternatives to

YOUR OPINION: LETTERS FROM READERS
Another View
Even a bad day on the links is better than a good day in the ofﬁce, or so they say. So let’s get an early start!
One week ago, I got into a taxi. It
was a hot and humid Sunday morning
in Bristol, Conn. I was heading to the
airport.
“How you doing?” I said, sliding in.
The man behind the wheel only nod-
ded. He was foreign looking with bald-
ing black hair and
heavy jowls.
We drove in
silence for half a
minute. Then, with-
out turning around,
he spoke.
“My son is miss-
ing. He fall into
river. Nobody ﬁnd
him.”
At ﬁrst, I thought
I misheard him.
“Your son fell into a river?”
“Yes. They no ﬁnd him. I look for
him today, after I take you.”
“I’m … so sorry,” I said. “What hap-
pened?”
“He go tubing. Six people with him.
All them get out, but they no ﬁnd my
son. Police, nothing. The water very
fast. Big wind. Everybody roll like ﬁve,
six time in the tube, one there, one
there. They get out. Only my son no.”
He shook his head.
“Today, maybe I get a boat.”
There are moments when a conversa-
tion leaves you utterly without reply.
Here was a tragic story. Totally unex-
pected. And I could not comprehend
how a man whose son was missing in
a river had managed to come to work
at all.
But I could tell that Shah Alam,
an immigrant from Bangladesh, who
said he was a father of six kids — one
of whom was either dead or alive —
wanted to talk.
So I listened.
He spoke about his son, Nasir, “a
good kid,” 25 years old, who “have a
good job” and who spent several years
in college studying to be a medical
technician. He still lived at home with
his father, stepmother and siblings.
“He just buy a new car,” Shah said.
The previous Tuesday, Nasir had
gone with friends to ride tubes down
the rain-swollen Farmington River.
They had barely gotten into the water
before realizing it was too high and too
rough. The others bailed out, grabbing
onto tree branches or rocks.
Nasir was, according to his father,
out of his tube and being drawn down
by the fast current. One of the group
grabbed onto him, “but the water too
strong,” Shah said, “he let go.”
Since then, no one had seen him.
The taxi rolled on, heading north
on I-84. Shah Alam sighed. He talked
about his frustration with the police.
It had been ﬁve days. Rather than sit
and do nothing, he had spent Saturday
walking miles along the river banks,
hoping to ﬁnd Nasir, perhaps lost or
hurt, but alive.
“I gonna go look today in the woods
area,” he said. “Who knows? Maybe
he hiding in the woods and he passed
out.”
Shah said in his gut he knew his son
was alive. That a father just knows
when that’s true.
“If I ﬁnd somebody who have a boat,
maybe I can see better,” he said.
How many times, in the course of
a day, do we encounter people with
whom we exchange a few words?
Behind a counter? On a bus? Maybe
they look sour. Maybe they seem cross.
How often do we consider the burdens
they might be hiding?
Shah Alam said his son couldn’t
swim. He said he didn’t know why he
got in such dangerous water at 4 p.m.
in the afternoon. He said he was only
driving the cab today because “some-
body has to work (in the family). If I
go down, what happens to them?”
He looked out the windshield. “I
have house, have good life, I don’t
know what happen, why it happen like
this?”
We reached the airport. I got out. I
took his information. He thanked me
and shook my hand.
Once inside, I immediately checked
the Internet to verify his story. I
read multiple news reports from
Connecticut newspapers and TV sta-
tions. It was all true. Nasir Alam.
Missing. Searches yield nothing. I
looked out the airport windows, but
the taxi was long gone.
In a perfect world, I end this column
with the son’s recovery. But this is not
a perfect world. Less than 48 hours
after our ride together, Nasir’s body
was found ﬂoating in the river, by a
park, four miles from where he was
last seen.
One week ago, I got in a taxi. Today,
I will encounter someone else. We rare-
ly know what sadness people drag with
them to work. If we did, we’d probably

“HOw MANY TIMES, in the
course of a day, do we encounter
people with whom we exchange
a few words? Behind a counter?
On a bus? Maybe they look sour.
Maybe they seem cross. How
often do we consider the bur-
dens they might be hiding?”

Holodick
deserves
W-B Area
position
As a retired secondary public
school teacher and higher educa-
tion administrator, I promised
myself that I would try to “go
gentle into that good night”; but,
alas, a recent commentary in The
Times Leader by Dr. Richard
Holodick (June 21 – “There
are reasons schools don’t make
grade”) resonated with me sufﬁ-
ciently to move me to respond.
I have read many of Dr.
Holodick’s columns and ﬁnd that
I strongly identify with positions
he has taken on topics related
to education. Although I do not
reside in the Wilkes-Barre Area
School District, I care deeply
about the issue of education
throughout our region.
I seem to recall that Dr.
Holodick expressed an interest
in serving on the Wilkes-Barre
School Board. From the articles
he has written, he seems to be
purely motivated by ethics rather
than politics. If that is the case, I
hope that he continues to pursue
his goal of serving as a member
of the school board.
Someone who is as informed
about educational issues and is
as honorable as he seems to be
deserves to occupy a seat on the
moard. More importantly, the
students (particularly those who
are at risk) in the Wilkes-Barre
Area School District deserve to
have a person of his character,
intelligence and commitment to
education in their corner.
P. S. I do not know, have never
met nor am I related to Dr.
Holodick.

mistreated,
says Rice Twp.
woman
I live in Rice Township.
Recently the decertiﬁcation of
our local volunteer ﬁre depart-
ment made headlines. A won-
derful group of selﬂess young
volunteers attended the meeting
thar was held regarding their
decertiﬁcation. They quietly
ﬁled into the room wearing their
ﬁreﬁghter pants and shirts and
stood in the back row. They
requested to speak by checking
the block under the column on
the sign-in sheet.
They showed themselves to
have tremendous grace and for-
titude. I was very proud of them.
Some of the public are under
the impression that this group
of volunteers did not want what
was best for the community by
accepting the merger. This was
not the problem and certainly
was not the truth. The meeting
wasn’t about bringing everyone
together to discuss a merger. It
was instead a meeting to decerti-
fy, basically ﬁre them, from being
able to be a ﬁre department. It
was an attempt to belittle them
in the worst possible way by
embarrassing them publicly.
Adults are supposed to set an
example for younger people on
how to conduct yourself. Many
of our ofﬁcials failed miserably.
I spoke to the entire group
of ﬁreﬁghters outside after the
supervisors had the police throw
us out of the meeting hall. I said
that a merger, due to economics,
could be a great idea, but it had
to be handled differently. If it
brought a few ﬁre departments
together, then it should no lon-
ger be called Wright Township,
but a different name. And that
every chief from each depart-
ment that united should be
represented on a type of board
to oversee the newly merged
department. None of them
objected to this; as a matter of
fact, they were very pro-merger.
The thing they objected to was
being decertiﬁed. The thing they
objected to was being made the
laughing stock of the community
and surrounding areas by cruel
remarks and comments. I don’t
blame them.
I come from a background
deeply entrenched in politics and
I have never seen any politician
ever treat people in the manner
in which they treated the ﬁre-
ﬁghters.
I think that our leaders in Rice
Township cater to a handful of
people instead of the majority.
And I think that they have actu-
ally embarrassed the residents to
such a degree that when we tell
anyone we are from Mountain
Top we shudder, because inevi-
tably the person will say to us,
“Are you from that township
that has all the problems all the
time?” Some individuals have
given our community a black
eye to the public and I think it is
time for it to stop.

Rice Township
High Court ruling
ignored majority
I truly believed in the
American principle that “the
majority rules” was the deciding
factor in any vote decided by the
American people. This appar-
ently is not so after the Supreme
Court overturned the will of the
people in California. They did
the same thing in Indiana when
the people voted no to outsourc-
ing the turnpike contracts to
some foreign company. The poli-
ticians did what they wanted and
outsourced the contract to some
foreign entity anyway. Closer to
home is the fact that the majority
voted no for that arena we now
have.
I don’t care if a man wants to
sleep with another man or vice
versa with women. In my opin-
ion this is not normal behavior,
but I do believe in equality for
everyone.
Marriage I don’t’ give a darn
about, but I draw the line on
same sex couples adopting chil-
dren. You think we have bullying
problems in schools now! Just
watch what we create.
What really ticks me off is
the fact that I am now in the
“wrong” because of my religious,
moral values, and my opinion.
The Supreme Court should
have never entertained the case
of of proposition 8 because the
people of California voted and
let their wishes be known.
Normal is becoming the abnor-
mal in this country.
I wonder what’s next.

Good Samaritans
thanked for help
I would like to thank the three
young ladies who came to my
assistance on the morning of
Tuesday, June 25.
I was at the Luzerne County
Courthouse buying a dog license.
Upon my departure I took a
nasty fall on North River Street,
Wilkes-Barre. Three young ladies
helped me get up.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get
their names. But God bless them
for going out of their way!

Writer ofers take
on the N word
Enough is enough!
If the Food Network can ﬁre
Paula Deen’s contract for using
the N word it is time we sup-
port her in banning all recording
artists from publishing Rap and
other forms of music containing
the same word. As a black senior
citizen my generation fought too
long and hard to have that word
deleted from being used.
Now to hear the heirs of our
blood sweat tears and even death
use it is outrageous. If they want
to use the Constitution to defend
their right then I ask it be used
to defend hers.

YOUR OPINION: LETTERS FROM READERS
No servant can serve
two masters.
Those are the words
of Jesus in the Gospel of
Luke. And yet how imper-
fectly have his followers
taken them to heart.
Throughout the history
of Christianity, some of
the most painful moments
have been when church
leaders cocked
their ear toward
Mammon when
godliness would
have dictated oth-
erwise.
Other, more
recent painful
moments, espe-
cially for Catholic
Christians, came
when church
authorities put
institutional prestige
ahead of justice and con-
sideration for victims of
sexual abuse by clergy
members.
The damage done by
the clerical abuse scandals
to the Catholic Church,
and to countless millions
of its faithful, has been
profound and worldwide.
Although Catholic bish-
ops and the Vatican have
sought to atone and to
reform the institutional
practices that enabled the
abuse, those efforts have
often been admixed with
less upright impulses.
Consider the case of the
Archdiocese of Milwaukee
and of Cardinal Timothy
Dolan, who once served
as its prelate. Some of
the most notorious cases
of abuse took place there
— well before Dolan was
archbishop — and, as
a consequence of legal
settlements with victims,
the archdiocese filed for
bankruptcy in 2011, after
Dolan had left to become
archbishop of New York.
A charismatic person-
ality, Dolan is the most
recognizable face of the
Roman Catholic faith in
America. With much justi-
fication, Dolan is regarded
as one of the good guys in
this grim chapter, highly
aware of the growing
scandal and struggling
to get a sluggish church
hierarchy to address the
problem.
Here is Dolan at his
best, pressing the Vatican
to act decisively:
“The liability for the
Archdiocese is great, as is
the potential for scandal if
it appears that no defini-
tive action has been taken.
Our newfound awareness
of the severity of damage
caused by sexual abuse
at the hands of clergy
makes it impossible for
us to ignore this situation
or allow any longer the
unresolved nature of this
case.”
Much of Dolan’s
correspondence
was addressed to
Cardinal Joseph
Ratzinger, who
later became Pope
Benedict XVI.
Yet while the
public would
like to see a hero
emerge from
his scandal — a
stalwart in the
hierarchy who fought
relentlessly for the victims
of the priests’ abuse, who
put their needs before
concerns for the church’s
reputation or its finances
— that person does not
appear to be Dolan. Not
quite.
A new collection of
documents made public
by the Archdiocese of
Milwaukee shows that
Dolan is emblematic of
the decades-long struggle
of the church to manage
priests accused of sexual
abuse.
The documents reveal
Dolan in multiple, often
conflicting roles: financial
protector of the church’s
patrimony, overseer and
disciplinarian of priests,
advocate for leniency
toward pedophile priests
who were aging and frail,
leader wading through the
processes of the church
and civil and criminal
courts. And, yes, he also
attempted to soothe the
pain of victims and survi-
vors of the abuse, along
with the outrage of parish-
ioners.
In a statement upon the
release of the documents,
Dolan remarked that his
encounters with victims/
survivors and abusive
priests were “some of the
most difficult, challeng-
ing and moving events” of
his more than six years in
Milwaukee. Indeed, Dolan
has reason to be proud of
the mediation process by
which nearly 200 survi-
vors received settlements
under his watch.
Yet in a June 2007 let-
ter to the Vatican, Dolan
requested permission to
funnel $57 million from
the archdiocese into a
trust he had created one
month prior. A little over
a month later, the transfer
was approved. That’s a
swift decision from Rome,
the same authority that
often took years of daw-
dling to decide the fate
of individual priests who
abused.
“By transferring these
assets to the Trust, I fore-
see an improved protec-
tion of these funds from
any legal claim and liabil-
ity,” Dolan wrote.
Dolan maintains that
the funds were set aside
for perpetual care of
Catholic cemeteries. The
church’s harshest critics
argue Dolan committed
bankruptcy fraud. A court
can settle the question of
legality, but it’s hard not
to regard this action as
ethically suspect.
Another $90 million
was transferred to indi-
vidual parishes, separate
legal entities. A judge
has already ruled those
funds are safe from being
claimed by those suing the
diocese in civil court for
abuses.
The documents also
show that consultants and
attorneys had to intervene
to maintain the right tone
of humility and contrition
on the part of the arch-
diocese. Public updates
were edited to keep the
churchmen from sounding
too “self-forgiving” for
past actions and “mini-
mizing the issue.” A line
in a draft communication
from the archdiocese that
apologized to priests was
removed because, as an
adviser pointed out, “this
was about victims, not
about priests.”
To read these docu-
ments is to see a worldly
organization at work —
massive, bureaucratic,
self-interested. Dolan is
but one man at work with-
in it. A good man, more or
less, and an energetic ser-
vant, but one with many
masters.
