Luzerne Countys love affair
with locally brewed beer began
in the 1850s, flourished for dec-
ades, survived a rocky spot dur-
ing Prohibition and eventually
waned, as romances often do.
But in recent years, the coun-
ty has seenthat sparkreignite as
a new generation of craft brews
has reawakened taste buds here
and in communities across the
nation.
Brewery numbers fell from
2,000 before Prohibition down
to about 40 in the 1970s, and
nowthere are about 2,000again;
Im talking nationally, said Ed
Maier on a recent walk-through
of Susquehanna Brewing Co.
just outside Pittston in Jenkins
Township.
And several Luzerne County
bars are taking advantage of the
availability of local brews, ex-
panding their beer selections
over the last decade or so, and
offering everything fromgolden
lagers to India pale ales and
chocolate stouts to porters.
I like the different tastes, 28-
year-old Joe Buchalski, of Shick-
shinny, said as he and his dad,
Frank, sippedsome Stella Artois
at the Arena Bar and Grill in
Wilkes-Barre during a Friday
happy hour.
Both men discovered they
prefer hoppy beers. And while
Joe began drinking craft beers
about four years ago, Frank, 60,
also of Shickshinny, developed
an eclectic taste for craft brews
long before that.
I worked on the road for 23
years, so any city you went to,
you drank their beer. If I was in
Boston, it was Sam Adams. You
drink withthe locals, Frank Bu-
chalski said.
Adjusting to changes
It was that growing interest in
craft brews in the area and
changes in the national beer in-
dustry that led Maier and his
friend Mark Nobile to sell their
beer distributorships. They

JENKINS TWP. Wilkes-
Barre might be best known in
the contemporary beer world as
the site of The Lion Brewery,
whose output is mostly on con-
tract to other labels, but the city
and several other municipalities
inLuzerneCountyactuallyhave
a rich history in brewing.
J. Fellows established the re-
gions first commercial brewery
in Pittston in1789, according to
the Luzerne County Historical
Society.
But it was Charles Stegmaier
who left an indelible mark on
the local beer culture when he
established a brewery in Wilkes-
Barre in the mid 19th century.
In 1849, Stegmaier immigrat-
ed to the United States, bring-
ing lager beer-brewing technol-
ogy with him from Germany,
said Fred Maier, co-owner of
Susquehanna Brewing Co. and
Stegmaiers great-great-great-
grandson.
He actually landed in New
York City and they said, Sorry,
no lager beer here, son. Go to
Philadelphia, because Philadel-
phia was an early brewing cen-
ter in America, Maier said.
In Philadelphia, Stegmaier
met John Reichard, who sent
him to Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia to brew beer with a lager
yeast that was new to the coun-
try.

HANOVER TWP. Two men
were shot near the entrance to the
Hanover Village Apartments com-
plex Saturday afternoon, according
to Hanover Township police.
Police said they responded at
1:27 p.m. to a report of a large fight
with gunshots fired outside Build-

Do U.S. repre-

on legislation
that has the po-
tential to impact
their profits in
the stock mar-
ket? A Times
Leader analysis
shows that, in
the case of Rep. Lou Barletta, R-
Hazleton, the answer is yes.
Financial disclosure forms of
other area representatives Tim
Holden, D- St. Clair, and Tom Ma-
rino, R-Lycoming Township
show the two reported little or no
stock investments, though Holden
has come under fire in the past for
supporting legislation that bene-
fits businesses owned by a family
friend and frequent campaign con-
tributor.
But Barlettas portfolio is rich in
stocks, particularly energy stocks,
and many of those companies are
potential beneficiaries of his fre-

SUMMARY
in the emergency room and re-
leased from the hospital. Khauri
McPhail was listed in stable con-
dition Saturday evening, Jolley
said.
Luzerne County Court re-
cords indicate Sean McPhail
was on probation stemming
from a guilty plea entered May
17 to misdemeanor possession
of marijuana charges.
Witnesses to the incident Sat-
urday reported seeing a large
group of 15 to 20 black males
fighting on the lawn in front of
Building 1 of the complex, the
first building off Division Street
in Hanover Village, according to
police.
Residents of Building 1, who
would not give their names out
of fear of retaliation, said they
heard five or six gunshots ring
out before the group dispersed.
One woman said she saw a
man, whom she knew by the
alias Dollar, lying on the lawn.
He was carried by other men in-
to a green car, which then sped
away onto Division Street.
A resident of Building 1 said
he knew one of the victims as a
resident of the apartment com-
plex, but the man did not live in
Building 1.
I knew him to see him, the
man said. He lives with some-
one up in here.
Another woman, upset that
her apartment was struck by
bullets, said there were several
children playing in the area at
the time.
There were three kids out
here, she said.
Police sealed with police tape
the lawn in front of apartments
109 to 112, which make up one-
third of Building 1, Saturday af-
ternoon and used a police dog to
search the lawn. Police said the
dog is used to sniff for evidence
such as shell casings. Township
detectives and a state police fo-
rensics unit were called in to in-
vestigate the reported shooting.
Township police did not re-
lease additional information
about the weapons used in the
incident, suspects or the vic-
tims. They are asking anyone
with information to contact
them at 825-1254.

WASHINGTON On a trip
to Israel, Mitt Romney is trying
to win over a tiny sliver of a
small but powerful section
of the American electorate.
President Barack Obama is do-
ing the same at home.
But while Romneys trip is un-
likely to change the broader
presidential campaign against
Obama, hes hoping to close the
gap among Jewish voters.
For all the wooing of Ameri-
can Jews in presidential cam-
paigns, those who say Israels
fate drives their vote make up 6
percent of a reliably Democratic
bloc. The tiny numbers are over-
laid with an outsize influence.
Campaign donations from Jews
or Jewish and pro-Israel groups
account for as much as 60 per-
cent of Democratic money, and
groups such as the American Is-
rael Public Affairs Committee
can bring strong pressure on
candidates.
This is going to be a close
election. We are in a tight, tight
race, said Democratic pollster
JimGerstein. But this race will
not swing on the Jewish vote.
The notion of being an Amer-
ican Jew has changed over the
years. Jews have married out-
side their faith and ethnic en-
claves have given way to inte-
grated cities. In the process, Is-
rael has faded as a driving issue
in their homes and seems to
have fadedas a flashpoint inpol-
itics.
Theyre disconnected from
their ancestral roots, Hank
Sheinkopf, a New York-based
consultant, said of Jewish vot-
ers. People are becoming less
observant so theyre less tied to
Israel, less tied to their faith,
less tied to their history.
In turn, Jewish voters look at
the election through secular
lenses. Although the campaign
rhetoric skews toward them
when the candidates talk about
Israel, assuming that Jews vote
based on U.S. policy toward Is-
rael is a losing proposition.
Romney also needs to show
his commitment to Israel be-
cause the reliably Republican
evangelical Christian vote also
holds candidates to account on
that topic.
Jewish Americans, like most
Americans, have come to as-
sume that mainstream politic-
ians and elected officials will
stand strongly with Israel so
theres oftentimes no urgency
that is reflected in the polling,
said Robert Wexler, a former
Democratic congressman from
Florida whose district was heav-
ily Jewish.
Even partisan people who
cherish the American-Israeli re-
lationship cringe when Israel is
used as a political football, said
Wexler, who was a co-chairman
of Obamas 2008 campaign and
now leads the S. Daniel Abra-
ham Center for Middle East
Peace.
That hasnt stopped Romney.
I think, by and large, you can
just look at the things the presi-
dent has done and do the oppo-
site, Romney said earlier this
year when asked about Israel.
Obama has riledhis critics, in-
cluding Romney, by urging the
Israelis and the Palestinians to
make good on their promises to
bring peace to the troubledMid-
dle East. Specifically, Obama
publicly has chastised Israel for
continuing to build housing set-
tlements in disputed areas and
has pressured both sides to be-
gin a new round of peace talks
based on the land borders estab-
lishedafter the1967Arab-Israeli
conflict.
That has raised the ire of
groups such as AIPAC, which
feel hes been disloyal to Israel.
Obamas strained relationship
withIsraeli Prime Minister Ben-
jamin Netanyahu a longtime
Romney friend hasnt helped
that perception.
Previous presidents have sid-
ed with Israel on all points, at
least in public.

was two hours from returning home
from the Korean War when he was cap-
tured on May 17, 1951.
His commander told him the preced-
ing day that he would depart at 7 a.m.,
ending a seven-month deployment on
the wars front lines.
He said, Tomorrow at 7 oclock, Ill
be up; Ill replace you, Gaylets said.
Ive got your orders in my hand.
An attack by the Chinese army
changed all that. At 5 a.m. the enemy
surrounded Gaylets
unit and immediately
sent the survivors of
the attack marching
toward the prison
camp where he would
spend the next 30
months of his life.

we found on the

Painted in bright colors, the cars re-
sembled various types of vehicles from
automobiles to farm equipment, trucks
tolocomotives. Someweredecoratedto
look like characters from childrens sto-

Speeders are modified railcars once
used by railroad companies to do seri-
ous work. Now they are primarily used
by hobbyists from the North American
Railcar Operators Association, or NAR-
COA, who ride them all over the coun-
try, said Joe Scopelleti, spokesman for
PPL Corp.
The speeders stopped at the PPLSus-
quehanna Riverlands located in Bell
Bend near the Susquehanna Steam
Electric Station nuclear power plant.
Scopelleti said PPL contacted NAR-
COA a few years ago to let it know the
group could use the six miles of track
the utility company owns. The compa-

JERUSALEM Mitt Rom-
neys support for Israel will likely
earn the presumptive Republican
presidential nominee a warm
welcome from Israeli leaders
when he meets with them Sun-
day and a frosty reception
from Palestinians, who fear he
would do little to advance their
stalled statehood dreams.
Romney touched down in Tel
Aviv Saturday night as part of a
three-nation foreign tour that in-
cludes Britain and Poland. He
hopes it will boost his credentials
to direct U.S. national security
and diplomacy.
The visit to
Israel comes at
a time when its
leaders are
weighing a mil-
itary attack on
Iran, the neigh-
boring regime
in Syria is looking increasingly
shaky and Mideast peace talks
are going nowhere.
Romney, a longtime friend of
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, is expected to play
up his critique of President Ba-
rack Obamas posture toward the
Jewish state and his handling of
Irans suspectednuclear weapons
ambitions.
Israeli political scientist Abra-
ham Diskin says Romney can ex-
pect an enthusiastic reception,
both because of his solid record
of pro-Israel comments and
because hes not Obama.
What interests Israelis is Is-
rael, Diskin said. Romney has a
very pro-Israel stance. He is very
suspicious of the Arab world. (Is-
raelis) are verysuspicious of Oba-
ma.
In an effort to upstage Romney
a day before he landed in Israel,
the White House announced it
was signing legislation expand-
ing military and civilian cooper-
ation with Israel.
Romney told the Israeli daily
Haaretz before his arrival that
Washingtons commitments toIs-
rael shouldbe as clear as human-
ly possible given the changes in
the region.
When Israel feels less secure
in the neighborhood, it should
feel more secure of the commit-
ment of the United States to its
defense.
With polls showing a close
race, Romney hopes this show-
case for his pro-Israel stance will
help himto woo votes fromtradi-
tionally Democratic Jewish vot-
ers and evangelical Christians
who zealously defend Israeli gov-
ernment policy. Obama has not
visited Israel since he became
president.
Romney already has stumbled
in his first international swing as
presidential contender by sug-
gesting that British officials
might not be prepared to pull off
a successful Olympics. In an in-
terview with NBC News, he
called Londons problems with
games preparation disconcert-
ing, and the remark sparked
sharp responses from Britains
top officials. Romney attended
swimming events in London on
Saturday morning ahead of his
planned flight to Tel Aviv.
In Israel, Romney will be meet-
ing with Netanyahu, Defense
Minister Ehud Barak, Foreign
Minister Avigdor Lieberman,
President Shimon Peres and Is-
raeli opposition leaders.
He will not see Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas, Ab-
bas aide Nimr Hamad said,
though he will be sitting down
with the Palestinian prime minis-
ter, Salam Fayyad, in Jerusalem.
The Romney campaign said the
likely GOP nominee only had
time in his schedule to meet with
one Palestinian leader and that
Fayyad has an existing relation-
ship with Romney. The Abbas
campdidnot offer anexplanation
for why no meeting was planned.
Romneys relationshipwiththe
U.S.-educated Netanyahu dates
back decades, when they briefly
overlappedinthe1970s at Boston
Consulting Group, and the two
menshareconservativeoutlooks.
A Romney bankroller, Sheldon
Adelson, is financinga free Israeli
newspaper that reflects Netanya-
hus views.
Netanyahu has refused to en-
dorse either presidential candi-
date, although his ties with Oba-
ma have been fraught.
I will receive Mitt Romney
with the same openness that I re-
ceived another presidential can-
didate, then-Senator Barack Oba-
ma, when he came almost four
years ago, almost the same time
in the campaign, to Israel, he
said when asked about the visit
last Sunday onFoxNews. We ex-
tend bipartisan hospitality to
both Democrats and Republi-
cans.
Romney expected to get warm reception in Israel
Palestinians fear he would do
little to advance their stalled
statehood dreams.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
2 NATO members killed
T
wo NATO service members were
killed by insurgents in eastern
Afghanistan on Saturday, the Western
military alliance said, the latest in a
surge of Taliban attacks against foreign
forces and Afghan civilians.
The military coalition didnt provide
details on the assault or the national-
ities of the dead, although most of the
international troops stationed in that
part of the country are American. Sat-
urdays deaths bring the number of
international forces killed in Afghan-
istan this month to at least 42.
NATO also reported Saturday that a
combined Afghan-NATO security detail
had sought out and killed a Taliban
financier in northern Balkh province
after he threatened them. The man,
Maulawi Abdul Rahman, reportedly
had transferred money, weapons and
explosives to other insurgents for use
in attacks against Afghan and coalition
forces.
AVONDALE, LA.
Last 9/11 ship christened
The USS Somerset the last of
three Navy ships named for 9/11 attack
sites was christened Saturday in
honor of the passengers and crew of
the plane that crashed short of terror-
ists intended target after passengers
stormed the cockpit.
Instead of hitting a target in Wash-
ington on Sept. 11, 2001, United Air-
lines Flight 93 crashed in Somerset
County, Pa., killing all 40 passengers
and crew members.
The men and women of Flight 93 ...
thought they were going to San Fran-
cisco to work, to play, to learn; to live
their lives in peace while others guard-
ed them, said Navy Rear Adm. David
Lewis. Instead they found themselves
in a war, on the front lines, in the open-
ing battle. It was a new kind of war,
one with new rules, maybe no rules at
all. They had no preparation, no train-
ing, no guidance.
QUINCY, PA.
3 shot dead; girl found
Authorities in south-central Penn-
sylvania say a man confronting his
estranged wife about custody arrange-
ments for their daughter shot her to
death and also killed her boyfriend and
his mother, then fled with the 4-year-
old girl before the two were found
about 250 miles away in Ohio.
Thirty-five-year-old Kevin Cleeves
was charged Saturday with three
counts of criminal homicide and was
awaiting an extradition hearing in the
Friday night deaths of 25-year-old Bran-
di Cleeves, 28-year-old Vincent Santuc-
ci and 55-year-old Rosemary Holma.
Pennsylvania state police say Cleeves
went to Santuccis house and was asked
to leave but instead opened fire.
ASPEN, COLO.
Chief: Poverty will plummet
Poverty across the planet will drop
sharply by 2030, with a rising middle
class of some two billion people push-
ing for more rights and resources.
The chief at the U.S. governments
top intelligence analysis shop says if
current economic and demographic
trends continue, 1 billion people who
live on less than a dollar a day now will
drop by half in roughly two decades.
Christopher Kojm gave the preview
of the National Intelligence Councils
global forecast at the Aspen Security
Forum Saturday.
Kojm says economic powerhouses,
such as India, Indonesia and Vietnam
are driving the trend, which will con-
tinue even if the economy goes through
upheaval.

WASHINGTON A Maryland man
accused of threatening to shoot up his
workplace and who police say called
himself a joker is a gentle giant
who collected firearms for target prac-
tice and had expressed concerns about
someone breaking into his apartment,
a friend said Saturday.
Mike Cochran told The Associated
Press in an email that Neil E. Prescott,
accused of threatening a mass work-
place shooting earlier in the week, had
an active sense of humor. Cochran
said his friend was no stranger to
sarcasm regardless of political correct-
ness and was fond of T-shirts with
sarcastic or inflammatory comments.
When first approached by officers, po-
lice say Prescott was wearing a shirt
that said, Guns dont kill people. I
do.
Cochran said he couldnt imagine
that Prescott, 28, who police say was
in the process of being fired from his
job, intended to be taken seriously
when he allegedly told a supervisor:
Im a joker and Im gonna load my
guns and blow everybody up.
The Neil I know made those com-
ments sarcastically in an environment
where he felt he could make them
without being taken seriously, Co-
chran said in an email.
Prescott was taken into custody at
his apartment in Crofton, near Anna-
polis, on Friday morning for an emer-
gency psychiatric evaluation. No
charges, either state or federal, had
been brought against him of Saturday.
Police found a cache of about two doz-
en weapons, including semi-automatic
rifles and pistols, and several thousand
rounds of ammunition. At least some
of the firearms were legally acquired,
authorities say.
It wasnt immediately clear if or
when the threat was to be carried out,
but last weeks mass shooting at a Col-
orado movie theater during the latest
Batman movie coupled with the
joker reference put police on edge
and gave the comments extra urgency.
We cant measure what was pre-
vented here, but what was going on
over the last 36 hours was a significant
incident in the county. And we think a
violent episode was avoided, county
police Chief Mark Magaw said Friday.
Prescott is a physically imposing
man online court records for a 2007
speeding ticket list him as 6 feet 7
inches and 270 pounds. He was an
avid firearms collector who also had
an interest in electronics and comput-
ers and was known to spin house re-
cords as a disc jockey at Baltimore
nightclubs, Cochran said.

WASHINGTON Penn State
is adequately covered to handle
lawsuits stemming from the sex-
ual abuse scandal that has enve-
loped the campus, its president
said, repeating that the universi-
ty hopes to settle many of them
as quickly as possible even
though its insurer has sought to
limit claims.
Rodney Er-
ickson told
CBSs Face the
Nation pro-
gram in an in-
terview taped
for broadcast
Sunday that
the university
has general liability coverage like
any institution of its size.
We believe that we are ade-
quately covered, he said in a clip
posted Saturday on the pro-
grams website.
In addition to that, we hope
to be able to settle as many of
these cases as quickly as possi-
ble, Erickson said. We dont
want to, if at all possible, drag
victims through another round
of court cases and litigation. If
we can come to an agreement
with them, with their attorneys,
we believe that would be the best
possible outcome in this whole
very, very difficult, tragic situa-
tion.
Retired assistant football
coach Jerry Sandusky was con-
victed last month of abusing 10
boys over 15 years in one of the
worst scandals in sports history.
Penn States general liability
insurer sought last week to deny
or limit coverage for Sandusky-
related claims. Pennsylvania
Manufacturers Association In-
surance argued that Penn State
withheld key information need-
ed to assess risk.
In a memo filed in court in Phi-
ladelphia, the company argued
that Penn State failed to disclose
that it had information about
Sandusky that was material to
the insurable risk assumed by
PMA. The company, which has
long insured the university, also
argued that its policies after
March 1, 1992, were amended to
exclude abuse or molestation
and that coverage for such be-
havior is excluded as a matter of
public policy in Pennsylvania.
On Thursday, attorneys an-
nounced that a man has come
forward to say that he was the
one that prosecutors say Sandus-
ky assaulted in the schools foot-
ball locker room showers. The
identity of that boy has been one
of the biggest mysteries of the
case, and the handling of that ac-
cusation against Sandusky cost
veteran coach Joe Paterno his
job.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio The woman
whom Matt McQuinn loved and whose
life he saved by taking three bullets for
her wept as pastors spoke of his hero-
ism and sacrifice during his funeral Sat-
urday, and of the senselessness of the
shooting spree at a Colorado movie the-
ater where he and 11 others were killed
just more than a week ago.
Mourners packed a church in this
western Ohio town where McQuinn
was from, the same morning that others
came together in San Antonio to re-
member another shooting victim, 24-
year-old Jessica Ghawi. Other victims
funerals were held earlier this week,
and more are set for next week.
When gunfire broke out in the Aur-
ora, Colo., theater, McQuinn, 27, dove
in front of his girlfriend, Samantha Yow-
ler, and was shot three times.
Yowler, who was shot in the knee and
survived, arrived at McQuinns funeral
on crutches Saturday and wept quietly
with his parents and other family dur-
ing the funeral. Neither she nor his par-
ents addressed Maiden Lane Church of
God.
Pastor Herb Shaffer, who is also
McQuinns uncle, said his nephew had
been a gift to his family since he was
born and that his actions in Colorado
were just one example of his selfless-
ness.
He spoke of how McQuinn called his
mother three times the day before she
had surgery because he was upset that
he couldnt be there in person and want-
ed to make sure she was OK.
When McQuinn was just 7, Shaffer
said, he was once so concerned that his
younger cousin wasnt having a good
day and put his arm around her to try to
make her feel better.
Then he talked about McQuinns
greatest sacrifice of all, saving Yowler,
whom Shaffer described as his nephews
best friend and the love of his life.
In moments of crisis, true character
comes out, he said. His immediate
response was to protect the woman he
loved.
Matts death is a sudden loss, one
that has produced many questions in
your minds, Pastor Dan Fiorini said. I
know youre asking in your heart of
hearts, why? Why was Matt there? Why
was a gunman allowed to enter that
theater? Why was he able to purchase
guns and ammunition so easily? Why
didnt God do something?
Fiorini said he couldnt answer any of
those questions.
We can wrestle with the whys of this
tragedy for eternity and never come up
with an answer, he said.
Shaffer told mourners that the shoot-
ing forever changed them.
Mourners at Ghawis funeral also tou-
ched briefly on the massacre.

BEIRUTThe Syrian regime appears
to have absorbed the shock it suffered in
the heaviest blow against it yet in Syrias
17-month-oldupheaval a bombingthat
killed four top aides.
The blast raised opponents hopes
President Bashar Assad could fall soon.
Instead he is back on the offensive and
has reshuffled his inner circle of loyalists
to brace for a long battle in what has be-
come an outright civil war.
Although the president is embattled,
he remains surrounded by loyal generals,
many who are inextricably tied to the re-
gime and have played a key role in the
brutal crackdown against the opposition.
He has already made some progress on
the ground. A counter-offensive by the
government is gaining momentum and
troops have so far been able to recapture
neighborhoods in the capital Damascus
that rebels overran earlier this month.
The government also launched an offen-
sive inthe northerncity of Aleppo, Syrias
largest, where rebels have taken over sev-
eral areas.
Regime forces have stepped up the use
of force. Helicopter gunships have been
used more than ever before in the battles
with rebels in Damascus and Aleppo. Al-
sothis week, warplanes flewover Aleppo,
although it was not possible to confirm
claims by activists that the fighter jets ac-
tually fired on rebels which would be a
first since the uprising against Assad be-
gan in March 2011.
ASyrianwhofledtoLebanonthis week
saidthe regime forces attacks have inten-
sified.
Whenever they suspect there is an ar-
ea where there are (rebel) gunmen, they
destroy it, said the man who identified
himself as Fawaz and said he had come
from the southern province of Daraa,
where the uprising began.
Still, the past weeks have shown that
the rebels a mix of army defectors and
regime opponents who have taken up
arms are getting more experienced
and sophisticated. That points to Syrias
conflict, which anti-regime activists say
has already left 19,000 dead, getting even
bloodier as both sides try to finish the
other by force.
Syria will get much worse before it
gets any better. Assad might fall but he
will do his darndest to leave behind a
burned down country, said Bilal Saab, a
Syria expert at the Monterey Institute of
International Studies.

The assets and unearned in-
come schedule on his financial
disclosure form for 2011 has 158
lines of companies and funds list-
ed. The schedule of purchases
and sales lists dozens of transac-
tions. And he has money invest-
ed in funds that buy and sell
stock in hundreds and in some
cases thousands of companies.
Its important to note that
many of the bills Barletta sup-
ported were passed by the Re-
publican-controlled House only
to languish in the Senate.
Barletta expressed surprise at
the number of votes that seemed
to intersect with stocks he own-
ed, adding that he has no input
into the transactions, handled by
a financial adviser.
My financial adviser has total
discretion, Barletta said. Im
not even notified until after the
transaction. I have no knowledge
of what he buys and sells.
Votes reflect his promises
Barlettas votes reflect cam-
paign promises to spur the econ-
omy by freeing businesses from
over-regulation. But in some
cases the legislation he support-
ed and the benefits to companies
he owns stock in are tightly link-
ed:
In March of 2011 his records
show stock was purchased in
Seadrill Limited, a company spe-
cializing in offshore drilling. In
May he voted for three bills de-
signed to increase offshore drill-
ing: H.R. 1231, which called for
an end to the presidents morato-
rium on drilling set up in the
wake of the BP oil spill; H.R.
1229, which called for the sale of
four leases for offshore drilling,
and H.R. 2021calling for changes
in the Clean Air Act impacting
offshore operations.
His records show capital
gains fromConoco in2011, andin
July, 2011, Barletta voted to expe-
dite the controversial Keystone
XL pipeline. Conoco is a partner
in that project.
Records for 2011 show Bar-
letta owns stock in Denver-based
Kodiak Oil & Gas Corp., which,
along with conventional drilling,
is involved in recovery of oil
shale, oil trapped in rock. In Feb-
ruary 2012 Barletta voted for a
bill that, among other things, set
standards for oil shale regulation
and directed the sale of leases for
land in states where Kodiak oper-
ated, and expresses Congresss
intent to promote development
of oil shale.
In September 2011, Barletta
voted to nullify rules regarding
emissions at coal- and oil-fired
electricity generation plants. His
records show stock ownership in
PPL in 2011.
The Times Leader analysis
found no instance where the tim-
ing of specific stock trades and
bill votes coincided so tightly as
to suggest they were linked, and
Barletta unequivocally denied
such connections.
There is never an attempt,
nor would I want there to be an
attempt, to let this affect how I
vote, Barletta said. The proof of
it is I dont know what stocks I
own.
Barletta conceded there is no
way to prove thats true, though
he did offer to show numerous
notices mailed from his financial
adviser that have sat in sealed en-
velopes.
I could probably bring you a
pillow case full of confirmations
they sent that have not even been
opened because I dont have time
to open them.
Barletta also argued that, be-
cause his investments are so di-
verse, he is just as likely to sup-
port bills that could potentially
shrink investment returns.
I probably cast votes that hurt
my portfolio as much as help it,
Barletta said.
Barletta on trucking regs
In particular, the congressman
cited his staunch opposition to
increased truck weight limits
when transportation bills were
discussed. Many of the compa-
nies he owns stock in rely on
truck transportation or run their
own trucking fleets.
I probably was lobbied on that
issue more than anything I can
remember, Barletta said.
Barletta also noted his repeat-
ed votes to repeal, defund or oth-
erwise nullify the health care re-
formlawlikely hurt some compa-
nies. Records show the sale of
stock in Bristol Myers Squibb
Co., a global pharmaceutical
company apt to reap gains from
increased insurance coverage of
prescription drugs mandated by
the law. The Times Leader analy-
sis also found investments in
health insurance companies and
other pharmaceutical compa-
nies.
And the analysis shows that
the vote toexpedite the Keystone
XL pipeline could crimp profit-
ability of pipeline expansions in
Canada by Houston-based Kin-
der Morgan, another company in
Barlettas portfolio.
The pipeline company cited
delays in getting Canadian oil to
the U.S. Midwest via Keystone as
one reason for adding pipeline
capacity across Canada to the
West Coast, literally bypassing
the Keystone XL debate.
Barletta, who reported be-
tween $1.75 million and $3.5 mil-
lion in transactions with broker-
age firm LPL Financial during
2011, noted that most transac-
tions in his disclosure form are
for relatively small dollar values;
the forms show that dividends
are generally under $2,500 and
most purchases or sales are un-
der $15,000. Barletta said he be-
lieves this is the case because his
adviser buys and sells small
quantities of shares in numerous
companies.
The appearance of conflict be-
tween legislative action and law-
maker portfolios is quite com-
mon, according to a Washington
Post series published earlier this
year.
After looking at votes and
stock trades, the Post deter-
mined that 130 members of Con-
gress bought and sold between
$85 million and $218 million in
323 companies registered to lob-
by on legislation that appeared
before them from 2007 to 2010.
The Post reported that one of ev-
ery eight trades reviewed inter-
sected with legislation, and that
party affiliation made little differ-
ence: Of the 130 lawmakers, 68
were Democrats and 62 were Re-
publicans.
STOCK Act passed
Lawmakers responded to crit-
icism regarding potential con-
flicts by passing the STOCK Act
(Stop Trading on Congressional
Knowledge) earlier this year,
which all local lawmakers voted
for.
The act prohibits members of
Congress, their staff and employ-
ees in the Executive and Judicial
branches from trading on inside
information acquired as a result
of their position. It also requires
extensive and more frequent dis-
closure of financial transactions
with stocks, bonds and other se-
curities.
Wilkes University Political Sci-
ence Professor Tom Baldino said
the act was absolutely neces-
sary, and it definitely could have
gone farther.
Requiring members of Con-
gress to identify financial inter-
ests and maybe even abstain
from votes that have impact on
their financial instruments is cer-
tainly good governance, and its
also morally right, Baldino said.
But to preclude even the ap-
pearance of conflict, Congress
should phase in a requirement
that all stock portfolios be put in-
to a blind trust.
When Congress passed the
Ethics in Government Act in
1978, it required Executive
branch members to put invest-
ments ina blindtrust, but didnot
impose the same rules on its own
members, Baldino said.
The logic: Executive branch
heads such as department secre-
taries are appointed, while the
lawmakers are elected, givingthe
voters power to oust the latter if
displeased by their actions.
But a blind trust helps the law-
maker wipe out any impression
of conflict, Baldino said. If
someone can say your vote is
tainted, the member is under-
mining his own legitimacy.
Holden was on firing line
Holden, who lost his bid for re-
election in this years primary,
was criticized last year by envi-
ronmentalists who cited votes to
curb federal regulations on emis-
sions from incinerators, power
plants and cement plants.
Holdens old family business,
John J. Holden Insurance Co., is
part of Rich Family Companies, a
conglomerate dealing in coal, oil
and co-generations, all potential-
ly benefiting from cuts in those
regulations. Rich Family Compa-
nies also donated to Holdens
campaigns.
But Holden insisted the votes
were about protecting jobs, not
profits, and noted his family busi-
ness was sold to another broker
before being sold to the Rich
Family conglomerate.
Marino, with a voting record
similar to Barlettas on many of
the same issues, has not filed a
financial disclosure form yet this
year because he is recovering
from surgery, so his 2011 invest-
ments were not available.
Marinos latest available dis-
closure form shows primarily
mutual funds in 2010, many of
which were being sold off before
he won the November election.
In an email, Marino Chief of
Staff William Tighe said the rep-
resentatives portfolio is almost
entirely in mutual funds, not spe-
cific stocks, and that he with-
drew funds from his portfolio to
supplement his familys income
while he campaigned for Con-
gress.
Asked if Marino felt the
STOCK Act was sufficient or if
lawmakers should be required to
put holdings in a blind trust,
Tighe wrote: The STOCK Act
brings transparency that will dis-
courage officials in all branches
of the federal government, Re-
publican and Democrat, from
trading on confidential informa-
tion. It also reaffirms the fact that
members of Congress are not ex-
empt from the insider trading
prohibitions arising under the se-
curities laws.
Barletta also said he believes
the STOCK Act makes every-
thing very, very transparent, and
Im comfortable that I dont even
know what stocks I have. Asked
if he would put his investments
in a blind trust, he said he felt
there was no reason to.
There never was an issue,
Barletta said. My adviser has
been given authority to buy and
sell without ever conferring with
me. I dont even know what he
did until after the transaction.
No one ever asked me about it
before, Barletta said. I may just
put themin a blind trust now, but
it doesnt really matter to me. It
never entered my mind.

CHICAGO The announce-
ment that Jesse Jackson Jr. had
been transferred to the Mayo
Clinic in Minnesota pinned
down his whereabouts for the
first time in weeks and gave
clear confirmation that the Illi-
nois congressman is suffering
from depression.
It also was the first mention
that hes now being treated for a
gastrointestinal issue, which
some experts said Saturday was
a sign his condition is becoming
more complicated.
The Chicago Democrat and
son of civil
rights leader
Jesse Jackson
has been on a
secretive leave
of absence for
nearly seven
weeks, during
which his office
has released only occasional
snippets of information, includ-
ing that he was undergoing
treatment for a mood disorder
at an undisclosed inpatient facil-
ity.
A new, three-sentence written
statement from the congress-
man was distributed by the
Mayo Clinic late Friday during
the national broadcast of the
Olympics opening ceremony,
when public attention was more
likely fixed half a world away.
As in the past, the statement
gave scant detail, an apparent
ongoing strategy in the face of
pressure from congressional col-
leagues and constituents clamor-
ing for an in-depth explanation.
It said he had been transferred
to the Mayo Clinic for extensive
inpatient evaluation for depres-
sion and gastrointestinal issues,
but gave no information on the
nature of his depression, where
Jackson was being treated prior
to arriving at the Mayo Clinic or
his progress.
The clinic said Saturday it
could not release anything fur-
ther.

GREANEY II

Some Things Id Like To Say
First of all to let you know that I arrived O.K.
That day I had to leave you when my life on
earth was through.
God picked me up & hugged me &
whispered I welcome you.
God gave me a list of things he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on that list is to watch and care
for you.
When youre sad Im standing there to wipe
away your tears.
And when you are in bed at night the days
chores put to flight God & I are closer to you in
the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth & all
those loving years. Because you are only
human, they are bound to bring you tears.
Do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers unless
there was some rain.
One thing is for certain, though my life on
earth is over.
Im closer to you now than I ever was before.
And to my many friends, trust God knows
what is best.
Im still not far away from you Im just
beyond the crest.
There are rocky roads ahead of you & many
hills to climb, but together we can do it taking
one day at a time.
If you can help somebody who is in sorrow
or in pain.
Then you can say to God at night my day
was not in vain.
And now I am content that my life it was
worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made
somebody smile.
If you meet somebody who is down & feeling
low just lend a hand to pick him up as on
your way you go.
When youre walking down the street &
youve got me on your mind.
Im walking in your footsteps only half a step
behind.
And when you feel the gentle breeze or the
wind upon your face.
Thats me giving you a great big hug or just
a soft embrace.
And I will always love you from that land way
up above...PS God Sends his love!
Ride on...
Endlessly missed by Mom, Berm, Dawn, Unc, Auntmeister, Bratt, Pnut,
Baby Girl, Mimi, Grampa, Kid, & many, many Relatives & Friends.
Thank you Doug, Davey & to the writer of this poem.

Chinese border are still vivid in
his mind, and its hard for him to
accept that Korea is still consid-
ered a forgotten war by some.
People dont understand, he
said. Because they always call it
the police action, the Korean
conflict, the Forgotten War, but I
have a list here that came from
Washington, D.C., at the Korean
(War) Memorial. Dead, United
States: 54,240. This was in 37
months. Wounded in Action:
103,284. Missing in Action:
8,177 POWs: 7,140; 2,400 came
home.
Of those killed in action, 142
were from Luzerne County. An
additional 33 members of the
Pennsylvania National Guard
109th Field Artillery, Wilkes-
Barre, were killed in a train
wreck in Lafayette, Ohio, prior
to deployment in 1950.
On Saturday, more than 100
veterans, their families and area
officials packed the rotunda of
the Luzerne County Courthouse
to show Gaylets and the other
Korean War veterans that they
have not been forgotten. The cer-
emony, sponsored by the Korean
War Veterans Association of
Wyoming Valley, marked the
59th anniversary of the signing
of the armistice treaty that end-
ed fighting, though a peace trea-
ty was never signed and Korea
remains divided into North and
South.
Retired Pennsylvania National
Guard Maj. Gen. Joseph Perugi-
no, who also spoke at the cere-
mony Saturday, said the Korean
War was a conflict worth fight-
ing, despite its indecisive out-
come.
Worth fighting? Absolutely,
Perugino, of Kingston, said.
The Korean War made a lasting
impact on world history. The
communist world got its first les-
son of Americas resolve in sup-
port of our allies. The newly
formed United Nations peace-
keeping force, a multinational
military theme, was tested, and
proved it could respond to ag-
gression. The result was, South
Korea was saved, and the eco-
nomic turnaround was made
possible.
Perugino added that the sacri-
fice of the soldiers who fought
the war have not been forgotten.
Although its sometimes re-
ferred to as the Forgotten War, I
assure you, there are many,
many Americans who have not
forgotten the great sacrifices
made and the hardships endured
by veterans of this war, Perugi-
no said.
A veteran does not die until
he or she is no longer remem-
bered, ceremony Chairman Bob
Alper said. As long as these peo-
ple remember, they will live on.

unable to have children of their

it would be well funded, they
also created a school trust to
provide for the health, educa-

at the school, known since 1951
as the Milton Hershey School.
Over his lifetime, Hershey,
who founded the Hershey
Chocolate Co. and built the
company town that now bears
his name, transferred the bulk
of his personal wealth into the
school trust.
Because of the Hershey Trust

have grown to a value exceed-

their family is making a big
sacrifice.
Theyre giving a special gift
so you can get a great education
and opportunity, Spangenburg
said.
Only one of six accepted
Its an opportunity that isnt
available for everyone and even
for those that do qualify to ap-
ply, only one in six are accept-
ed.
More and more, the school
has branched out to corners of
the state from which it had not
regularly received applications.
Starting next month, Cassan-
dra, Alexa Dunaj, 12, and Jovina
Munoz, 11, all of Nanticoke, will
be among the 43 students from
Luzerne County attending the
1,860-pupil school, a number
that has increased by 700 over
the last five years.
In addition to continuing ef-
forts to serve urban populations
already familiar to the school,
recruiters are turning their ef-
forts to areas of the state, in-
cluding Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania, which may not have an
awareness of the school.
The plan is to increase enroll-
ment to 2,000 students over the
next 10 years, school spokeswo-

That student is Miranda Park,
13, who is entering her third
year at the school and will be in
seventh grade this fall.
She began at Hershey in fifth
grade and a few months in got
homesick, dropped out and
went back to Nanticoke Middle
School.
But she quickly changed her
mind.
I realized I made a mistake,
she said. So she reapplied and
was reaccepted this year. She
was able to talk to her three
Nanticoke friends about the
school, her difficulties adjusting
to leaving her family and
friends and how she coped.
Making the transition
Her suggestions were simple.
Keep in touch with your family,
busy yourself with activities and
schoolwork and realize that
youre there to better yourself
and to take advantage of an
awesome opportunity.
Miranda said Alexa, Cassan-
dra and Jovina will have the
added benefit of knowing each
other, a support system she
didnt have.
Alexa agreed that while she
worries about being homesick
the transition will be easier to
cope with knowing she has
friends nearby, even if the girls
learned none of them will live
in the same home on the spraw-
ling campus that includes swim-
ming pools, a chapel, art mu-
seum, athletic facilities and
both television and radio stu-
dios.
According to Scullin, the
main goal for all of our stu-
dents is that they leave the
school well-prepared to enter
society as productive citizens.
We want all of our graduates to
be good students, but we also
want them to be good people,
good employees and responsib-
le members of their communi-
ties. Our graduates continue to
reflect this ethic.
She said that more than 90
percent of Milton Hershey
School graduates plan to contin-
ue their education at a two- or
four-year college or trade
school. For students that will go
on to higher education, the
school offers scholarship credits
during their high school years
to cover most of the tuition,
fees and room and board at uni-
versities or trade schools.
The school requires each stu-
dent to pursue a career techni-
cal education track while there.

The Germans were using la-
ger yeast and the English were
using ale yeast, which made a
dark ale, Fred Maier explained.
It took German immigration
onfast ships to get that coldlager
yeast over to America.
The first lager beer was made
in Philly in 1832, 1834. So (Steg-
maier) came up to Northeastern
Pennsylvania to brew it for Rei-
chard in 1850. Then he left
John Reichard to brew his own
beer, Maier said.
Brewing beer was largely con-
sidered a local business at that
point in time, said Susquehanna
Brewing Co. co-owner Mark No-
bile.
It was a small community
business, andStegmaier Brewing
Co. was more of a regional brew-
ery. It supplied more than just
Wilkes-Barre, it supplied the
northeast section of the country
and more, Nobile said.
Stegmaiers heyday
In its heyday, it was the 14th-
largest brewery in the country
andthe largest supplier of beer to
NewYork City that was not made
in New York City, said Ed Maier,
Susquehanna Brewing Co. presi-
dent and Fred Maiers father.
Stegmaier went out of busi-
ness two or three times, Nobile
said, but he just kept plugging
away. I dont think he was suc-
cessful til he was 70-some years
old.
And then it was a home run,
said Ed Maier, who sold the Steg-
maier brand to the Lion Brewery
(formerly the Luzerne County
Brewing Co.) in 1994. Lion con-
tinues to brew Stegmaier but
most of its business entails brew-
ing beers and malt beverages for
various other brands.
Back in the 19th century, there
wasnt much competition among
brewers. The Maiers and Nobile
wonder if Charles Stegmaier de-
cided to stamp out what was
there or just expand operations.
In 1897, he purchased the Ge-
orge W. Flock Brewing Co. in
Nanticoke. A year later, the com-
pany was renamed the Susque-
hanna Brewing Co. the name-
sake of the newmulti-milliondol-
lar brewery outside Pittston. The
Nanticoke brewery never re-
opened after closing during Pro-
hibition.
Other local brewers
But Stegmaier was far from
controlling the beer market in
Luzerne County.
According to materials at the
Luzerne CountyHistorical Socie-
ty, John Ingham opened a brew-
eryinWilkes-Barre in1823; it was
later bought by Christian Rei-
chard.
Breweries in Pittston changed
hands and names several times.
Others opened in Edwardsville
and Exeter Township.
And while the historical socie-
ty doesnt have much informa-
tion on breweries in southern Lu-
zerne County, beer enthusiasts
there insist there were some.
Reminiscing about some of the
old lager standards offered in
their hometown at the Battered
Mug in Hazleton, Budweiser loy-
alists Tom Schneider, 63, and
Tom Mensinger, 61, recalled the
breweries that once existed
there.
Arnolds, they agreed, was in
the area of Mine and Mill streets,
while Hazleton Pilsner was
brewed at the corner of Diamond
Avenue and Cedar streets.
Indeed, according to The
Brewing Industry in Luzerne and
Lackawanna Counties by Rich
Wagner and Rich Dochter, Henry
Bach and Severin Teufel built a
brewery at Mine and Mill streets
in Hazleton in 1849. It became
the John Arnold Department of
the Pennsylvania Central Brew-
ing Co.
The locally brewed beers and
those brewed regionally, such as
Yuengling, based in Pottsville,
about 30 miles southwest of Ha-
zleton were the standards or-
dered in bars in the early 20th
century.
Everybody seemed to love
them, said Battered Mug owner
Timothy Dolan.
Most of them anyway.
Yuengling was considered a
lousy beer back then, Dolan
said. Now, people cant get
enough of it.

This kiosk on the Wyoming Valley Levee in the Barney Farms section of Wilkes-Barre describes
some of Luzerne Countys rich history in breweries. Noted are a commercial brewery that opened in
Pittston in 1789, Wilkes-Barres first brewery that opened on Water Street in 1833, the Bartels
Brewing Co. that opened in Edwardsville around 1907, the Lion Brewing Co. established in Wilkes-
Barre in the early 1900s, and perhaps the countys most famous the Stegmaier & Son Brewery in
Wilkes-Barre.

be a good activity at the River-
lands for the community, he
said.
We developed a partnership
with them in order to put to-
gether an activity that would
bring people to the park, he
said.
Seeing the little rail cars lined
up is an impressive sight, Sco-
pelleti said.
Now colorful and fun, the
speeders once worked very hard
serving rail inspectors and rail-
road workers in their jobs. They
seat up to four people and trav-
el at about 25 mph. Powered by
modified gasoline engines, they
travel all over North America
once they receive the proper au-
thorization from the railroad
companies, Scopelleti said.
Saturdays group started in
Northumberland as part of an
86-mile trip, said Carl Schneid-
er of NARCOA. After arriving
at the Riverlands, they turned
around to make their way to
Sunbury and Shamokin before
returning to Northumberland.
They had to lift them to turn
them around, Scopelleti said.
While at the park, the railcar
operators answered questions,
demonstrated some of their
fancy accessories and treated
some children to an up-close
look, Scopelleti said. They
stayed about one hour before
heading off.
One operator said traveling
on the rails is much different
than riding on the highways.
Every culvert, bridge, road
crossing, tunnel and building is
viewed from an uncommon
vantage, he said.
The NARCOA requires all
members to be properly licens-
ed and trained before allowing
them to take to the rails,
Schneider said.
He said the hobbyists have
earned an excellent reputa-
tion for safety as well as appre-
ciation from folks who came to
see the line of cars go through
their towns.
About 35 rail speeders arrived at the PPL Susquehanna Riverlands in Salem Township on Sat-
urday just before noon.

WILKES-BARRE Two men
were arrested on drug traffick-
ing charges after a raid at an
apartment on Park Avenue
Friday morning.
Exodus Defreitas, 33, and
Daryl Card-Nixon, 22, were
charged with two counts of
possession with intent to deliv-
er a controlled substance and a
single count of unlawful posses-
sion of body armor.
Defreitas and Card-Nixon
were arraigned by District
Judge Joseph Halesey in Ha-
nover Township. They were
jailed at the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility for lack of
$10,000 bail each.
According to a city police
news release:
Agents with the state Office
of Attorney Generals Luzerne
County Drug Task Force and
city police executed a search
warrant at a second floor apart-
ment at 371 Park Ave. at 6 a.m.
Seized were a large amount
of cocaine, a digital scale, cell
phones, marijuana and a bullet
resistant vest, according to the
news release.
The search warrant was ob-
tained based on citizen com-
plaints of alleged drug dealing
from the apartment.
Preliminary hearings are
scheduled on Aug. 2 in Wilkes-
Barre Central Court.

then invested more than $8 mil-
lion to start up Susquehanna
Brewing Co.
Given their longtime beer
sales experience, Nobile and
Maier, along withMaiers son, Ed
Fred Maier Jr., know their beer
as well as their beer history.
And, Ed Maier is the great-
great-grandson of Charles Steg-
maier, who made his fortune
brewing beer in Wilkes-Barre af-
ter founding the Baer and Steg-
maier Brewing Co. with his fa-
ther-in-law, George Baer, in1857.
The brewers agreed that it was
Luzerne Countys prosperity,
brought about by the coal indus-
try, that attracted brewers here.
Wilkes-Barre was one of the
fastest-growingcities inthecoun-
try at the turn of the century.
Coal mining was exploding here.
So there was a good, thirsty Eu-
ropean market here. Immigrants
were coming over and they were
beer drinkers, Fred Maier said.
Previous immigrants were
whiskey and cider drinkers until
German immigrants showed up,
he said.
That turned the nation into a
beer nation, Maier said.
Regional appeal
Breweries became a communi-
ty business, Nobile said. They
just produced a small amount of
beer for a small area.
Andthats prettymuchhowthe
beer culture remained in Lu-
zerne County andnationally for
about a century, Ed Maier said.
But along with World War II
came commodity bubbles and
smaller breweries couldnt com-
pete with the larger ones.
As refrigeration techniques im-
proved, beer could be shipped
longer distances. Companies
such as Anheuser-Busch began
opening breweries across the
country.
Then in the 1960s and 70s, na-
tional brewing companies just
wreaked havoc on the smaller, lo-
cal and regional breweries, Ed
Maier said.
Here they hadStegmaier, Gib-
bons, Bartels. Then when the na-
tionals came, people thought it
was pretty cool when beer came
fromMilwaukee or St. Louis. But
thats the attitude thats changed.
Today, local is cool again. Local
was not cool in the 50, 60s and
70s, he said.
Nobile agrees.
The nationwent througha pe-
riod of time where they thought
national products were better
than local products. If it was
made nationally, it was a better
product. Today, were going back
to where handcrafted, locally
made microbrews are becoming
popular again. Its kind of like a
big circle, Nobile said.
Demand for craft beers
Even in old, small, corner bars
such as the Battered Mug on
North Poplar Street in Hazleton,
co-owner Timothy Dolan said he
cant get by without having at
least one craft beer on tap.
Onarecent warmandsunnyaf-
ternoon, Tom Schneider, 63, and
Tom Mensinger, 61, both of Ha-
zleton, were quaffing down some

they said, although Mensinger
said he will down a Yuengling La-

Interest becomes business
Elmer Sudds owner John Yen-
cha said he renovated and reo-
penedtheWilkes-Barreestablish-
ment in a120-year-old building in
2007. He said the bar was also
probably the first in the Wilkes-
Barre area to serve a relatively
wide variety of craft beers when
the former owner opened it in
1992.
In the late 90s when I turned
21, we could come and have one
or two drinks, and the food was
always good, too. Here and (the
former) Par 4 on Parrish Street
were known for good food and
micro-brews, he said.
Yencha is also longtime friends
with Chris Miller, who opened
Breaker Brewing Co. with Mark
Lehman in Plains Township sev-
eral years ago. Thefriends recent-
ly moved the microbrewery to a
larger space in Wilkes-Barre
Township.
Yencha said he got hooked on
craft beers at parties his friends
would throw, and decided he
wanted to open a bar that fea-
tured them.
But he found there is still a
strong loyalty to the national
brands in the area.
For the first couple years, we
didnt have Budweiser and Bud
Light and there were so many
people coming in and asking for
it. And when we would say we
dont have it, they would walk
out. So I started getting it and we
sell cases and cases and cases a
weekof BudandBudLight, Yen-
cha said.
Yenchas girlfriend and a bar-
tender, Kim Challenger, said she
used to drink national brands but
has come to appreciate the taste
of craft beers.
Theyevensoundwaymorein-
teresting than regular beers. You
should see some of the descrip-
tions the brewers bring with,
Challenger said. When you pour
these (craft) beers, some of them
smell so good. You know theyre
better.
When it comes to craft brews,
Yencha says he dabbles in the
seasons. If you have too many
beers for one season, youwindup
sitting on it and then the season
changes and cant sell winter
beers in the summer.
And while bars such as his, on
East Northampton Street, and
former Par 4 reintroduced craft
beers to the local market, when
the Arena Bar & Grill opened on
Coal Street in Wilkes-Barre with
50 beers on tap, they just opened
it up to say, If you can get it, we
can get it too, times three, Yen-
cha said.
Fulfilling a demand
Mike Teddy Theodore, 43, of
Mountain Top, opened the Arena
Bar and Grill in 2002.
In the bar business for 25 years
as manager, cookandnowowner,
Theodore said he and his wife,
Nicole, opened the bar because
they wanted to bring different
beers into the community (that
was) lacking a bar with good
homemade food and a great beer
selection.
I had always liked different
beers, probably starting in the
early 90s whena lot of craft beers
hit the market, like Sierra Neva-
da, Anchor Steam, Stella Artois.
Theyhit the market, I reallystart-
ed drinking a lot of craft beers
and really fell in love with it,
Theodore said.
We started with 18 beers on
draft and probably about 50 dif-
ferent bottled beers. Everyone
kind of told us we were crazy in
this area. They said you needed
Yuengling Lager and Coors light
and thats all you needed. Every-
thing else was overkill. But we
felt if we brought the beers in,
people would definitely fall in
love with them, he said.
And thats just what happened,
Theodore said.
Over the years, weve grown.
Now we have 50 beers on draft
and we have 350 bottled beers.
Every week, we bring in different
beers just to keep up with our
clientele and their thirst and
taste for different beers, he said.
Theodore said his main clien-
tele probably ranges in age from
35 to 50.
I think its people who, when
they turned 21, there were better
beers available to them, so
theyve kindof grownupwiththe
better beers, Theodore said.
Appreciative drinkers
At the Friday happy hour, Jan-
ice Neely, of Wilkes-Barre, cele-
brated her 53rd birthday at the
Arena, starting with a Coors
Light and plans to experiment
with craft beers. Shes tried
Shock Hop and Blue Moon and
discovered shes not a big fan of
hoppy beers.
Neelys friend, Sue Mishanski,
49, of Hanover Township, was en-
joying UFO a lighter wheat
beer. She got her start on trying
craft beers at a fire company Ok-
toberfest and discovered she
likes the flavors of crafts better
than premium brands.
Theres so much more flavor
to them, they go down better. Its
worth the extra money and it
helps create a little conversation,
at times, Mishanski said.
Theodore encourages his bar-
tenders andservers to try a differ-
ent beer every shift so they can
recommend brews to customers
who are seeking guidance.
Our clientele is always look-
ing to try something new. When
most people are asked whats
their favorite brew, theyll say,
Its the one I havent had yet.

CULTURE
Left to right, Tom Schneider, Joe Williams and Tom Mensinger enjoy some light conversation as they
have a brew at The Battered Mug in Hazleton last week.
What is the book about? It doesnt
sound like a manual on mechanical
engineering. I wanted to become an
actor after my dream and pursuit of being
a football player in the NFL fell short. I
headed to Los Angeles and began to
take acting classes and audition for
various roles. During that time, I was
working at a 24-hour deli that was
frequented by celebrities during the day
and the dregs of society by night. The
combination of customers yielded some

comical stories and revealed the under-
side of the glamorous and glitzy Holly-
wood in ways I did not expect. This book is
basically about my pursuits to move up
the acting chain while serving some of
the Hollywood elite. It shows how hard it
truly is to break into the business, and
how I found myself, after 10 years of
encounters with rejection and dashed
hopes.
You said the NFL, right? Football was
my life. I was a walk-on at Penn State. I
tried out with close to 100 guys. I was one
of five to make the team and the only
player to be still on the squad a year later.
I played on the second team in my senior
year and played in six games. I moved
west after graduating and on the way I
stopped to see a friend of mine who was
deathly ill. He told me to go for my dream
of being a football player. That was all the
motivation I needed. I bounced around a
few teams. I played in the Arena Football
League for the Arizona Rattlers and won
a National Championship with the semi-
pro, Fresno Bandits in 1994. I spent time
trying out for the 49ers, Saints, Cardinals
and Broncos in the NFL. I even learned
how to long snap with Bill Romanowski. I
never quite made it to the next level, but I
was close.
So after football you began your
quest to become an actor. It started out
with acting classes and people wanted to
cast me as an athlete in various projects.

mean more skills and better deci-

Former DJ Sue Barre has found herself a new career in real estate
W
ith one eye on back to school
sales, the parents of Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania are busy in
late summer making sure their children
are fully equipped for the rigors of anoth-
er year of education.
The areas genealogists have their own
preoccupation trying to figure out what
schools their ancestors attended.
Lets go over the kind of information
not available. I dont knowof any school
district that can answer a query with
Sure, your ancestor attended the XYZ
High School from1921 to 1925, played
basketball and graduated with honors.
They just dont compile that kind of
information.
Heres some background, followed by
tips on what you can do.
For a century and more, Luzerne
County has had more than 60 municipal-
ities, most of which at one time or anoth-
er had their own school systems. In the
1950s a fewof those systems merged. In
the 1960s, under pressure fromthe state,
mergers spread like wildfire. Today, there
are just 11 public school districts in the
county. Also, most of the old school
buildings are gone. Only a handful of
pre-1940 buildings remain.
So is tracking your ancestors educa-
tion an un-doable piece of homework?
Well, not exactly. If you knowwhat
town (city, borough, township) the ances-
tor lived in, you can look up that towns
pages in the Phillips history collection at
the Luzerne County Historical Society
and read up on the schools it had years
ago. You can also look for any centen-
nial/sesquicentennial booklet fromthe
town, also at the historical Society and
find capsule histories and maybe some
photos.
There are also published histories of
some of the larger communities, heavily
illustrated. Look in bookstores and librar-
ies.
Yearbooks can be good, especially for
photos and for details about school activ-
ities. While there is no central collection
of high school yearbooks, there are many
scattered copies to be found at the histor-
ical society and at the Northeast Penn-
sylvania Genealogical Society. Sometimes
public libraries have a few. Times Leader
classifieds advertise old yearbooks for
sale at modest prices. High schools them-
selves sometimes have yearbook collec-
tions.
Queries:
A reader recently asked about a
now-vanished local patriotic event that
many fromour parents and grandpar-
ents generations would have known
the explosion of a small boat full of flow-
ers in the middle of the Susquehanna
River at Wilkes-Barre. The ritual was held
on Memorial Day and was intended to
honor those who died in the service of
the United States. Memorial Day once
consisted mainly of public officials giving
speeches on the South River Common,
with the boat being blown up nearby.
The boat and the speeches have largely
been replaced by community parades.
Genealogical message boards carry
many requests, usually fromout-of-town
researchers, about the names and loca-
tions of area cemeteries. That type of
research is made easier by the Northeast
Pennsylvania Genealogical Society, which
is building up a comprehensive map
showing the cemeteries of Luzerne Coun-
ty. The societys research library is in the
caretakers house at the Hanover Green
Cemetery, Main Road, Hanover Town-
ship. For contact information, go to
www.nepgs.org.
If youre not familiar with the Genea-
logical Society of Pennsylvania
(www.genpa.org), nows the time to
check out this organization. Among other
functions, it offers books that could prove
valuable to Pennsylvania genealogists.
The societys recent newsletter highlights
Guide to the Published Pennsylvania
Archives, which is basically a guide to a
huge mass of information that could be
daunting to a newresearcher.

I got bit by the bug, just like
when I started radio, Barre said.
I put my foot in the water and it
took off, developed a life of its
own.
Barre found she enjoys the cre-
ativity of home renovation and
has an eye for design.
I love renovation, just love it,
she said. I am renovating my-
self.
Despite low property values,
Barre said home sales are still oc-
curring.
People are in transition all the
time, she said. People will al-
ways need somewhere to live.
Juggling the radio show with
husband Rocky, and managing14
rental properties, she said she
found she was putting in 18 hour
work days. Nowwith a newchap-
ter opening before her, work days
now average around 12 hours
leaving time to pursue other in-
terests.
With a little free time on her
hands, Barre plans to kayak, hike
and do other activities she did
not have time for in the past.
But knowing, many other resi-
dents are facing career changes,
she advises them to find some-
thing you love and pursue it, be
the best you can be.
Saying good-bye to her audi-
ence and friends at the radio sta-
tionwas not easy, but shesaidshe
was thankful toreceive suchposi-
tive support from the listeners.
Reflecting back on the begin-
ning of her radio career, she said
in the 1980s, women were mak-
ing headway in radio. She began
as a news director in her home
state of Maine, and was advised
to accept a co-host with Rocky.
As a veryconfident andoutspo-
ken woman, she told them she
would not be a giggle box for
the male counterpart, which was
the trend at the time.
Rockynever put me inthat po-
sition, she said.
Keeping close ties with radio,
Barre still pops in during Rocky
and Lissas morning show to
shake things upandcheckinwith
the listeners.

However, I passed on those be-
cause I felt like I wanted to do more
socially significant roles. Roles that
did not involve me crunching a
beer can on my head. That is when
I started to write screenplays. I was
having difficulty getting them
produced so I took on the role of
producer as well. Eventually, I
wrote, produced and acted in the
feature film, Living with Uncle
Ray. It took a year to edit with a
crusty old guy who really enlight-
ened me on the obstacles and
pitfalls of trying to get something
done the way you want. The film
did garner an award at the Park
City Film and Music Festival. After
that experience I wanted to head
back to the East Coast and find
myself. I would do that in writing
this book and being with family
nestled in the mountains.
So what does the title of the
book refer to? A matzo ball is a
doughy ball that you would find in
our giant chicken soup bowls at the
deli. I viewed the workplace, as
many people do their own, a place
of drama like a soap opera. So
quite often I would make jokes with
co-workers or updates about an
event at the deli opening with, As
the matzo ball turns
So part of those updates or
jokes would revolve around celeb-
rities? There were nice customers
and not-so-nice customers. Adam
Sandler always treated us with
respect and dignity. Someone like
Sharon Stone was notorious for
tipping below15 percent and was
often very rude. Shaq would pay
30 dollars for a meal and always
leave a one hundred dollar tip.
Jerry Seinfeld basically turned his
nose up at me when I tried to serve
him and make some jokes. So I laid
on the extra special treatment and
constantly asked him if he needed
anything. He would get exasperat-
ed and sigh as he would drop his
utensil onto his plate. It was very
funny.
Who is someone that you
looked up to during your life? I
loved Larry Csonka as a kid. I
admired his toughness and identi-
fied with him. I had a number 39
aqua and orange shirt that fol-
lowed me everywhere over the
years, no matter where I was. Joe
Paterno had me believe in myself
and made me feel like I was part of
something bigger than life. It was
intoxicating to be around that
energy. I felt like I fit in among the
jerseys with no names on the back.
It was a shared commonality of
team and unity.
If you could improve upon
anything in Northeast Penn-
sylvania what would it be? I
would like to see more freedom or
awareness of what is going on in
the region and less apathy and
more of people taking action. I
would like to see more people
outdoors and communicating face
to face, with less texting.
Do you have a favorite quote or
saying? Serving my fellow man,
one table at a time.

I would like to thank the people of the Wyoming Valley, Back Mountain &
Mountaintop areas for making Amplied Hearing LLC a successful private
practice as we close in on our 10-year Anniversary. It has been a pleasure
helping many of the parents of my classmates from WVW and Wyoming
Seminary, many of the people I grew up with in Forty Fort, and many of the
friends I have met along the way.
My practice has grown how I had hoped- by satised patients recommending
my services to their family and friends and trusting General Physicians
referring their patients to my practice. That is the highest compliment.
Not by running an ad offering $1,000 off a set of aids. Not by advertising
hearing aids for $339, only to get you in the door and be told you need the
$2,300 aid instead. My fair prices are my prices 365 days a year.
I treat my patients with respect, honesty and integrity. I believe people want
to be helped, not sold. Call my ofce to set up your evaluation and let me
help you or your loved one today!

H
e didnt get the chance to be an
athlete for very long, because
cancer killed Corey Ehrets
sports career too quickly after it start-
ed.
But what he accomplished while he
was there will live in Dallas High
School lore forever.
They will remember the kid who
always believed he could, even when
circumstances predicted he couldnt.
They will be motivated by the mem-
ory of someone so determined, he
inspired others to get up when itd be
much easier to stay down.
And theyll recall how, even as his
own hard journey kept unexpectedly
changing course on him, Corey Ehret
never found it difficult to navigate.
Its why he still fills those he tou-
ched with so much life, even after his
death.
His own life finished way too short
at the age of 18 last Sunday, when
Ehrets courageous three-year battle
with embryonal rhabdomyo sarcoma
ended.
Ill never know what this kid was
capable of, Dallas track and cross
country coach Matt Samuel said.
Instead, they prefer to think of what
Ehret was.
Many accomplishments
He was a soccer player in middle
school, a member of the high school
cross country and track teams at Dal-
las, an employee at the Irem Temple
Club golf courses pro shop, and an
avid skier, hunter and fisherman.
He was so much more.
Ehret was a Dallas High School grad
last month, a member of the Dallas
Middle School jazz band, a 4H camp
counselor at Hickory Run State Park, a
member of the youth group at St.
Pauls Lutheran Church and a volun-
teer for the Luzerne County Recre-
ation Department Summer Camp for
special-needs adults.
He never won state championships
or set school records during his sports
playing days.
Instead, he captured the love and
admiration of a whole community.
Corey was always a person who was
determined, hard-working and he
didnt let any struggles show, said
Patrick Newhart, who became fast
friends with Ehret through school, not
sports.
Hed always see the best of things.
It never concerned Ehret, or anyone
else, if he didnt come out of a race
with the best time of anyone. Only
that he was doing his best.
Did he score this or that? Doesnt
matter, Samuel said. Anybody who
has to overcome that I was shocked
with how well this kid does.
Ehret did it while battling his can-
cer, which knocked him out of the
2010 season. But he returned to the
cross country team one more time in
2011, after becoming a pioneer of im-
munotherapy for sarcoma treatment
and then making the squad on sheer
heart.
Let me tell you how great an ath-
lete this kid was in his own right,
Samuel said. After going through the
most difficult experimental treatment
that completely ruins your joints, and
then coming back on our cross country
team and making our varsity squad,
thats the drive and will of an athlete.
A great athlete.
Samuel has spent 16 years coaching
Dallas, won 13 district titles and two
state championships, and he said none
of that has been more uplifting or
inspirational than watching Corey
Ehret treat impossible obstacles as
twigs while he covered the course of
his life.
He may not have had real long to do
it. But Corey Ehret made it the best
time, because he never stopped going
the distance.

The first signs that a storm
was about to hit Penn State
came from high schoolers.
On July 20 two days before
the NCAA announced there
would be a press conference de-
tailing sanctions against the Nit-
tany Lions reports circulated
that a pair of Penn State verbal
commitments was visiting other
colleges.
Word had passed down from
top university officials to acting
athletic director Dave Joyner
and coach Bill OBrien to
recruits. Penalties were coming,
and they would be severe.
So it wasnt a surprise that
New Jersey defensive tackle
Greg Webb announced last
weekend he would instead be
headed to North Carolina. Or
that Ohio cornerback Ross Dou-
glas made the switch to Michi-
gan on Tuesday.
But remarkably, Penn State
still has 12 commitments for the
signing class of 2013 in the wake
of some of the harshest puni-
shments in NCAA history. And
while some of them are still
weighing their options, a group
of six visited State College on
Saturday and told OBrien they
remain 100 percent committed
to the Lions.
Harrisburg area tight end
Adam Breneman, Philadelphia
receiver Will Fuller, Virginia
quarterback Christian Hacken-
berg, New Jersey offensive line-
man Brendan Mahon, Hershey
offensive lineman Andrew Nel-
son and New Jersey defensive
end Garrett Sickels all an-
nounced their decisions within
minutes of each other on Twit-

not all: The winningest Olympian ever
didnt win any medal at all, the first
time thats happened in a race of this
magnitude since he was a 15-year-old
kid competing in just one event at the
Sydney Games, a dozen years ago.
It was horrible, Phelps told coach
Bob Bowman when he climbed out.
Bowmans reply: It was.
Lochte turned the much-anticipated
duel with Phelps into a blowout, rais-
ing serious questions about whether
the guy who has won 14 gold medals
and16 medals overall has anything left
in the tank for his Olympic farewell.
Phelps is planning to retire as soon
as he finishes the last of his seven races
in London, but he looked ready to call
it a career while struggling just to pull
himself from the water when his first
LONDON Ryan Lochte strolled
the deck of the Olympic Aquatics Cen-
tre wearing diamonds in his mouth
and lime-green sneakers on the feet
that powered him through the water
faster than anyone else. Beaming, he
chomped playfully on his gold medal
while Bruce Springsteens Born in the
USA blared throughout the massive
arena.
Michael Phelps?
He was nowhere to be found.
Not during the race.
Not when it came time to hand out
the medals.
On a stunner of an opening night at
the pool in London, Phelps was routed
by his American rival in the 400-meter
individual medley, losing to Lochte by
more than 4 seconds Saturday. Thats

Who wouldnt enjoy
a nice trip to the beach
this time of year?
After all what could
be better than a little
sun, sand, fun and the
212-mile bike ride that
gets your there?
At least thats what TomHopeck of
Hazleton thinks.
Hopeck is organizing a To the Beach
ride that will start Hazleton and hopeful-
ly end in Rehoboth Beach, Del., some-
time in late September.
Hopeck got the idea for the ride when
he was vacationing with his wife in Re-
hoboth in 2008. He sawa sign for 150-
mile MS Bike to the Bay charity ride.
I thought that would be a fun thing to
do, Hopeck said. But then I thought
instead of doing the 150 why not just
ride the 212 miles down there.
And that he did well almost.
Leaving Hazleton at 5 a.m. and with
his wife driving the SAGwagon, Hopeck
made it 175 miles before nightfall put an
end to his ride.
Dont fret though, Hopeck was back
on his bike the next day getting in the
rest of the 200-plus miles.
The next year, Hopeck incorporated
his ride into the MS150 and ended up
riding 330 miles in the course of three
days.
Then earlier this year, Hopeck and
Beaches are all about sun, sand
and fun, and how you get there

The Phillies will most likely
be looking for a third baseman

25 RBI, while posting an on-base
percentage of .378. Hes gotten
off to a slowstart with the R-
Phils, hitting just .221over 30
games. But hes blasted five
home runs and knocked in18.
Hes picked up the pace over his
last 10 games with a .341(14-

THI S WEEK S SWB YANKEES SCHEDUL E
Russ Canzler,
Hazleton Area, Colum-
bus (Cleveland, Triple-
A): A grad from Hazle-
ton Area, the 26-year-
old is showing his MVP
form from 2011.
After a slow start to
the season, hes now
batting .273 with 16
home runs and 60 RBI
for the Clippers. He also
has 26 doubles, two
triples and a .340
on-base percentage.
Entering Saturday, he
had homered in two
straight, while driving in
seven runs over the last
week.
Canzler was original-
ly drafted by the Cubs
in the 30th round in
2004. He was signed as
a minor league free
agent by Tampa Bay
last year and then
traded to Cleveland.
Kyle Landis,
Hazleton Area, Akron
(Cleveland, Double-A): An
18th-round pick by the
Indians in 2007, the
right-handed reliever is
slumping a bit. In two of
his last three outings,
hes given up three runs
in four innings while
being hit with one loss.
For the season, he still
has solid numbers for
the Aeros, with a 3.96
ERA in 32 games while
striking out 42 in 50
innings and posting a 5-4
record with two saves.
Cory Spangen-
berg, Abington
Heights, Lake Elsinore
(San Diego, Class A
advanced): The 10th
overall pick in 2011 by
the Padres hasnt
played since June 28,
nursing a head injury.
For the season, hes
batting .288 with one
home run, 33 RBI and 21
stolen bases in 27
attempts, to go along
with six triples, 11 dou-
bles and 40 runs in 67
games.
Ray Black, Cough-
lin, San Francisco
(extended spring train-
ing): A power pitcher,
Black is nursing a
shoulder injury which
arose at the end of
spring training and hes
been sidelined since. He
is still rehabbing in
Scottsdale, Ariz.
The seventh-round
draft pick (237th over-
all) out of the University
of Pittsburgh last June
is ranked the No. 24
overall prospect in the
organization, according
to Baseball America,
and has been known to
reach in the high 90s
with his fastball. He is
also listed as an Under
the Radar player for
the organization, ac-
cording to MLB.com.
Rich Thompson,
Montrose, Durham
(Tampa Bay, Triple-A): A
33-year-old speedy
outfielder, he is streak-
ing over his last 10
hitting .317 (13-for-41) to
raise his average on the
season up to .299. The
average goes with 11 RBI
and 11 stolen bases in 35
games since being sent
to the Bulls.
Last month, he was
traded to Tampa from
the Phillies and was
immediately called up
to the big leagues.
Before the trade, he
was hitting .307 for
Lehigh Valley with
seven stolen bases
along with an on-base
percentage of .390 for
the IronPigs. His minor
league totals this
season include a .302
batting average with 18
stolen bases and an on
base percentage of .372.
Kyle McMyne, Old
Forge, Bakersfield
(Cincinnati, Class A
Advanced): The right-
handed reliever, who
recently had a 10-game
scoreless streak
snapped and gave up
runs in three straight
appearances, looks to
be back on track.
Taken by the Reds in
the fourth round (145th
overall) of last years
draft, he threw two
scoreless innings last
week to rebound from
allowing three runs in
three innings over three
games.
On the season for
Bakersfield, he has
given up 12 earned runs
in 27
1
3 innings as his
ERA dropped by nearly
three runs to 3.95 after
the impressive stretch.
He is 2-1 with 24 strike-
outs against 18 walks
and four saves.
D I S T R I C T 2 S P R E S E N C E I N T H E M I N O R L E A G U E S
With an International
League Most Valuable Player
award, a Triple-A All-Star
Game MVP award and several
other accolades throughout his
minor league career, Russ
Canzler believes hes ready for
the next step.
I feel like the approach I
have now and the numbers I
put up here in Triple-A over
the last couple years Im defi-
nitely ready to prove myself at
the major league level, he
said. I would love for that
opportunity. Its out of my
hands, so you just do what you
can do every single day.
Its not just the Triple-A
numbers that are astonishing
for the 2004 Hazleton Area
graduate. Although 32 home
runs and 139 RBI in 231 career
games at Triple-A is fabulous,
Canzler has been producing
ever since he was drafted by
the Chicago Cubs in 2004 and
has earned at least one award
each year of his professional
career.
Grinding start
The first big slump in his
career came while trying to
make an impression on his new
organization, the Cleveland
Indians. After a great season in
2011 with Durham, the Triple-A
affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays,
Canzler was dealt to the Indi-
ans in the offseason and was in
competition for a starting posi-
tion with the major league
team in spring training. He
eventually lost out on that bid
and took the loss with him
when the season began for
Columbus.
He was hitting under .200
after the first three weeks of
the season. Canzler had a talk
with Clippers manager Mike
Sarbaugh and sat out a few
games to clear his head. He
said he first learned at age 21
how to calm down during
every plate appearance and not
try to do too much, but he had
to relearn that for a short peri-
od.
I realized how close the
major leagues were for me and
you can let that creep into your
head. I was fortunate to have a
really good year in this league
last year and I think I tried to
repeat those numbers in one
month, the 26-year-old said.
The games hard enough with-
out any additional pressure so
if you put any additional pres-
sure on yourself, youre kind of
setting yourself up for failure.
Honored again
Since that time, hes been
anything but a disappointment.
Starting April 21, he hit .450
over a 10-game span and from
there, he took off the rest of the
season. In June, he also picked
up the International League
Player of the Week and was
named Clevelands Minor
League Player of the Week on
separate occasions. Through
Friday for the Clippers, hes
batting .271 with 14 home runs,
56 RBI and an on base percent-
age of .337.
I think a mistake some guys
make is when youre in Tri-
ple-A for a long time you kind
of take it for granted. Then,
you get that opportunity in the
big leagues and youre not
mentally prepared, Canzler
noted after a recent game at
Lehigh Valleys Coca-Cola Park.
Mentally, I try to come to the
field everyday like it is the
major leagues and how would I
go about my business if I was
there.
Plenty of support
Playing in Allentown, which
is just 50 miles away from his
high school, is special to Can-
zler. And last year, when he got
a chance to play at PNC Field,
a park in which he played a few
high school games on, it was
an honor for him to see long-
time supporters.
A lot of the people who have
supported me throughout the
years from Little League and
high school, every time Im
home in the offseason theyre
always asking me how Im
doing and tell me they follow
me throughout the entire sea-
son, said Canzler, who spends
a lot of time in his hometown
during the offseason. That
means so much to me to have
that support. And for them to
come to this beautiful stadium
and to see me in Scranton or
somewhere else thats close to
home, it gets the butterflies
going sometimes and you try
to do too much.
Canzler is currently on Cle-
velands 40-man roster and will
be with the organization for
three years unless taken off the
40-man. If hes removed from
the 40-man roster, he will have
to go through waivers or be
released before returning to
Columbus. The only other way
he can leave the organization
within the next three years is
via trade or being designated
for assignment.
Hazleton Area graduate is again in MVP form
Columbus Clippers designated hitter Russ Canzler, a Hazleton Area product, could land a spot with the Cleveland Indians in the
near future.

TELEVISION
Choreographer angry
that NBC cut segment
NEW YORK The choreog-
rapher of a somber segment in
the London Olympics opening
ceremony says hes disappointed
that NBC decided not to show it
to an American audience.
Londoner Akram Khan cre-
ated the segment, described as
an expression of the struggle
between life and death. Specta-
tors were asked to display pic-
tures of loved ones who could
not be there. NBC didnt show
the segment Friday night, in-
stead airing Ryan Seacrests
interview with swimmer Mi-
chael Phelps.
Khan said that he was dis-
appointed and that maybe NBC
thought the segment was too
truthful.
GYMNASTICS
US men cruise to lead
LONDON The American
men will be thrilled if they can
hang onto this same spot in the
gymnastics team finals, fin-
ishing Saturdays qualifying
round in first place.
While defending Olympic
champion China and perennial
powerhouse Japan bobbled and
wobbled their way through
qualifying, the Americans land-
ed atop the standings. Their
final score of 275.342 was al-
most three points ahead of re-
surgent Russia (272.595). Bri-
tain managed to hang onto third
place, and Germany was fourth
(270.888).
Japan, the heavy favorite
coming into the meet, is fifth
after several uncharacteristic
errors by three-time world
champion Kohei Uchimura.
China, which also has won the
last five world titles, is sixth.
BOXING

South Korea 3-1 in their opening
match at the London Olympics.
At one point the fans at Earls

The United States, which won

Friends and family of 22-year-
old Paige Selenski werent exact-
ly surprised when the 2008 Dal-
las High School graduate was
named to the U.S. Olympic Field
Hockey Team.
Well, yes and no, said Paiges
father Brian Selenski, of Shaver-
town. Youknowfromthe coach-
es whats going on and whos do-
ing well but then youre holding
your breath because you never
know.
For Selenski, a University of
Virginia senior majoring in En-
glish, making the team was a
long time coming.
Brian Selenski said his daugh-
ter was first introduced to the
sport as a seventh grader at Dal-
las Middle School by her late
mother Judys suggestion to join
a field hockey camp.
And the rest is the stuff of
Olympians.
Selenski joined the junior high
teamat Dallas andearnedastart-
ing spot on the varsity team by
her freshman year.
Former coach Mary Kate
Stauffer said its evident that Se-
lenski has no one but herself to
credit for her success.
Paige was, and continues to
be, head and
shoulders
above the
rest of her
peers in
terms of her
skills, said
Stauffer,
whocoached
Selenski in
high school.
From an
early age,
she knew
how to harness her talents and
definitely worked hard.
It was during that time when
Selenski lost her mother to can-
cer, and Brian Selenski wanted
to make sure his daughter con-
tinued on her athletic path as
long as she enjoyed the game.
I asked her if she wanted to
continue and she said yes,
Brian said. My wife was there
right down to the end. When she
got sick she would still go to see
the games, and even when she
wasnt feeling well she would
watch the games from the car.
Brianbelieves that kindof sup-
port is what keeps the field hock-
ey star so motivated.
I think part of her playing is
for my wife, he said. I think it
gets her adrenaline up, especial-
ly when she gets into a slump
during a game.
Selenski pressed on and con-
tinued to excel throughout her
career at Dallas. Stauffer said Se-
lenski was a quiet leader
whose passion and dedication
for the sport were always appar-
ent.
The girl knew what she was
doing, Stauffer said. She had a
lot of drive, and there were many
things that were God-given to
her in terms of skill and desire to
be successful. She was always ex-
tremely passionate about com-
peting. Hockey was her thing.
Robyn Jones, a Dallas High
School guidance counselor and
former field hockey coach, plans
to attend the 2012 Olympic
Games in London this month to
watch Selenski perform.
Im especially excited about
the game on July 31, when the
United States team faces Argen-
tina, she said. Its going to be a
war.
Jones believes its the support
that Selenski received through-
out the years that contributes to
the field hockey players success.
Paiges success as a student
athlete can be attributed to, first
and foremost, her tenacious
work ethic, second, her God-giv-
en talent and third, her innate in-
telligence, Jones said. And ve-
ry importantly, her family up-
bringing. Judy was very invested
in her daughter, academically
and athletically, and dad has
done a wonderful job since Judy
passedawayof continuingtopar-
ent her. Her mom and dad are
huge contributors to her suc-
cess.
Brian Selenski said response
from the community has been
overwhelming.
When she was first named to
the team, the phone never stop-
ped ringing, he said. Even Ro-
byn Jones and the principal at
Dallas said the phones at the
school were ringing off the hook
when it was announced.
Selenski is the middle child
shes big sister to 18-year-old
Greg and younger sibling to 25-
year-old Brad. Her father said no
one else inthe family has forayed
into sports as extensively as his
daughter.
The boys played Little
League and soccer, and Greg is
now recreationally into golf,
Brian Selenski said.
Greg Selenski said its been an
interesting ride watching his sis-
ter rise through the field hockey
ranks.
Its been an experience, he
said. Our vacations revolved
around it for a while.
But as the young woman pre-
pares to take on international
teams in London, Brian Selenski
is sure the games wont be his
daughters last.
I dont think this is going to
betheend, hesaid. I thinkshes
going to stay on for the World
Cup.
Until then, Brian Selenski and
therest of thefamilyareenjoying
Paiges Olympic success.
Sometimes I think its a
dream, he said. I mean, what
are the chances that your son or
daughter is going to play at the
Olympics?
Selenski forever inspired by her mom

LONDON The U.S. womens basketball
teamlooked nothing like the squad that is ex-
pected to dominant the Olympics.
Maybe it was first-game nerves or a hangov-
er fromtheopeningceremonies. TheU.S. had
to overcome a sloppy performance Saturday
before finally putting away Croatia 81-56 in
the opener.
Coach Geno Auriemma had said he was
hoping that the Ameri-
cans could play a style of
basketball that would be
entertaining and help
grow the womens game
internationally. That
didnt happen Saturday.
We have five players
who have never been in
the Olympics before, so
they are going to be nerv-
ous. Everybody was a lit-
tle nervous, Auriemma
said. Were better than
we showed, but I dont
know that were going to
be great right off the bat.
The U.S., which got
back to its hotel at 3 a.m.
after the opening ceremonies, struggled for
the first three quarters before winning its
34th consecutive Olympic contest.
There was a little jitters, probably a little
sluggishness, U.S. guard Sue Bird said. For
the most part we didnt finishoff plays we nor-
mally finish off. We allowed a teamthat when
they get going are known to spread out the
floor andtrytohit as many3s as theycan, stay
with us.
The U.S. led 53-49 early in the fourth quar-
ter beforea16-0runput thegameout of reach.
Bottom line is this is the Olympics, Bird
said. A win is a win, regardless of how it
works. Beauty is you can learn from it.

LONDON Alexander Vinokourov
sprung the first surprise of the London
Olympics.
The 38-year-old Kazakh defeated the
British cycling dream team on his
own, winning the gold medal in the
mens road race to crown the end of a
14-year career that saw him in the roles
of both hero and villain.
Vinokourov, who served a two-year
ban after testing positive for blood dop-
ing during the 2007 Tour de France,
said he will retire after Wednesdays
time trial.
He would not have been riding in
London had he stuck to his decision to
endhis career last year, whenhe broke a
femur during the Tour de France. His
morale was so lowhe said he would not
race again, but he changedhis mindand
returned for one more year.
After so many crashes, returning to
cycling was difficult, but I was still hop-
ing for a good result, Vinokourov said
after outsprinting Rigoberto Uran of
Colombia. My family, my kids, my par-
ents were behind me the whole time. I
still have the metal plate in my hip, my
femur, so it wasnt easy. Today, a dream
has come true.
In a race that was held without race
radios, Vinokourov made the most of
his flair and tactical sense to go out in
style andprevail as the Britishteamwas
unable toset upa sprint for worldcham-
pion Mark Cavendish.
Cavendishhaddescribedhis squadas
a dreamteam before the race. He nev-
er had a chance to sprint and ended a
disappointing 28th.
Vinokourov broke away from the
leading group about 10 kilometers from
the finish together with Uran. He then
accelerated going down The Mall out-
side Buckingham Palace with 300 me-
ters to go to leave Uran in his wake.
Uran took silver, with Alexander
Kristoff of Norway winning a mass
sprint to get the bronze.
I certainly didnt lose my concentra-
tioninthefinish, Uransaid. I must say
it was very difficult. We did the last 10
kilometers at full speed and I dont
think either of us had much left. ... I
looked at Alexander and I did not have
any energy left for a sprint at the finish.
In another surprise, Taylor Phinney
of the United States finished fourth, al-
thoughhe was inno
mood to celebrate.
Some would call
fourth place the
worst to arrive at
the Olympics,
Phinney said, but I
wont focus on that.
Ill get over it.
Vinokourov, who
rode with only one
teammate, made
sure to avoid a
bunch sprint by
pulling away from
the lead pack and avoiding any chances
of collisions near the end of the 250-ki-
lometer race that featured the tricky
Box Hill climb.
Today, especially in the last 10 ki-
lometers, the fact that the major teams
and especially the Germans had
no team radios played in my favors,
said Vinokourov, who is known for
launching fearless attacks, even when
chances to succeed are low.
I knew that if was following the
groupI wouldhave hadnochance inthe
sprint, he added.
Vinokourov was third at the 2003
Tour, the race in which he gained fame.
He has won four stages at cyclings pre-
mier race and also had some success in
several one-dayclassics, winningLiege-
Bastogne-Liege twice and the Amstel
Gold Race once.
This was his second Olympic medal
after taking silver in the road race in
Sydney in 2000. He missed out on the
Beijing Olympics because of his doping
suspension.

The headline
sounded too
good to be true:
Legally Blind
Archer Smashes
World Record.
Turns out it
almost certainly was.
A day after setting the first
world records of the 2012
Games, Im Dong-hyun led South
Korea to a bronze medal in the
teamevent Saturday and some-
how managed to leave behind
more questions than answers
about exactly how impaired his
eyesight is.
At one moment, speaking
through an interpreter, Im de-
scribed himself as farsighted and
said the colors in the target
almost 77 yards away ap-
peared blurry, not bad ... like a
drop of paint in the water.
A moment later, he said he
didnt need glasses to drive or
read, unless he was tired, de-
scribing his problemas old
mans eyes. At yet another, he
said the vision in his left eye was
20 percent of a normal sighted
person and 30 percent in the
right. Not long after that, his
coach, Oh Seon-Tek, raised that
number to 60 percent and
laughed at the notion that his
star pupil had any problemsee-
ing the target at all.
Finally, after Imwas asked
directly a second time whether
he was legally blind, he grinned
widely and replied: Its really a
matter of common sense. If I
were legally blind, do you really
think I could participate in the
Olympics?
Id rather participate in the
Paralympics, he added. There,
Id have a much greater chance
to win a gold medal.
Why Imhas been described as
legally blind in published re-
ports dating back several years is
a matter of some conjecture. A
South Korean journalist who
knows himwell said Imocca-
sionally passes close by without
so much as a hint of recognition
and that the various answers to
questions on the topic may have
more to do with the stigma
attached to disabilities than his
actual condition.
What is clear is that no matter
the extent of Ims visual impair-
ment, it hasnt affected his abil-
ity to compete. Officials of sever-
al federations suggested it might
even be an advantage in a sport
where some competitors some-
times focus too long and too
intently on the target and freeze
up, rather than rely on biome-
chanics or muscle memory to
help them decide when to re-
lease the arrow. Called target
panic, its archerys equivalent
of the putting yips that bedevil
even top-flight golfers.
That, however, has never been
a problemwith Im, who arrived
at the Olympics as the No. 2-
ranked archer in the world. On
Friday, he broke his own person-
al 72-arrow mark and contrib-
uted to a second record in the
team shoot. Then he shook off a
slowstart and nearly turned
back a surprisingly hot-shooting
American team that upset the
South Koreans in the semifinal
round.
The Americans, in turn, were
upset by Italy in the gold-medal
match. It turns out the Italians
had a visually impaired archer of
their own, Mauro Nespoli, be-
cause its not all that uncommon
in the sport. What thrust Im into
the spotlight, and kept him
there, are his consistently world-
class results. Hes got one more
shot at redemption in these
games come Friday.
Its not the end of the line,
he said after the victory over
Mexico in the consolation
round. Its still a long way to
go.
Still, after winning the last
three team golds the South
Korean women have won all six
since archery became a medal
sport at the 1988 Seoul Games
the scale of the disappoint-
ment was etched on Ohs face.
Pressure is inevitable, he
said through an interpreter, then
explained how his nations
coaches and assistants have
been needling one another for
more than a decade about who
would be in charge when the
dynasty took a hit. Oh managed
a weak smile to indicate it was
him.
Only eight arrows determine
everything, he added.
Ohs words and expressions
barely hinted at how crushing
the expectations for this squad
were back home. Only soccer
and perhaps baseball elicit any-
where near the same passion
among his countrymen. Among
Olympic sports, archery has no
competition.
Before coming to London, the
South Koreans built an exact
replica of Lords, the most hal-
lowed ground in cricket. Not
only that, they built it inside a
baseball stadium, filled it with
spectators to simulate crowd
noise, and put together a video
to make it feel like the real thing.
What they forgot to adjust for
was the London weather.
It was a true replica, Oh
said, smiling ruefully. But we
were not able to make the wind.
Not so blind to see success on archery range

GLASGOW, Scotland Abby Wambachs
second-half goal put her atop the all-time list
Saturday as the Americans dominated feisty
Colombia 3-0, guaranteeing a spot in the
quarterfinals of the London Games soccer
tournament.
Megan Rapinoe scored in the first half and
celebrated by wishing injured teammate Ali
Krieger ahappybirthday, andCarli Lloydhad
a late goal inher returntothe startinglineup.
But niceties were otherwise fewand far be-
tween in a game that included 30 fouls
with no altercation more painful than when
Lady Andrade hit Wambach in the face in the
39th minute.
Im running toward the goal to get posi-
tion, and I got sucker-punched, said Wam-
bach, sporting a black semicircle under her
swollen right eye after the game. Its clear.
We have it on film, so its up to the Olympic
committee and FIFA to decide what to do.
WambachsaidAndradekept ontauntingin
the second half and attempted another blow
to the face but missed and hit Wambachs
neck instead. When Wambach scored in the
74th minute to make the score 2-0, the
achievement felt particularly sweet.
Absolutely. Its interesting you think
about yourself and what you would do on the
street if somebody were to sucker-punch
you, Wambach said. And you have all of the
lists of things that you would probably do to
retaliate, but this is
Olympics and I cant risk
getting a red card, I cant
riskgettingayellowcard.
We like to call it ice
stay ice cold. Theyre try-
ing to get me to retaliate,
and Im proud of myself
for not doing that.
Andrade called the
play an accident.
Nothing happened,
she saidthroughaninter-
preter. It was just a nor-
mal part of the game. We
were both running, she
ran across me and we collided. I had my
hands in the air. It was an accident.
Told that Wambach wants Andrade disci-
plined, the Colombian said: I think they
should be, too, because theyre the United
States. The whistle always goes intheir favor.
They were hitting us and hitting us, but there
was never a whistle.
Wambach looked like her younger self on
her goal, sliding onto Tobin Heaths pass to
beat two defenders. The 32-year-old striker
joked that she was using her blazing speed.
Nobody puts balls to me like that any-
more, Wambach said. And she put it
through. And Imlike, Ive got to get there.
It was Wambachs sixth Olympic goal,
moving her past Mia Hammand Tiffeny Mil-
brett.

Saturday, mixing in a little local
flair with all of the more tradition-
al trifles that have made the event
one of the most sought-after tick-
ets at the London Games (though
Sir Paul McCartney managed to
get one for the afternoonsession).
A dance team in bathing suits
jiggledfor the sold-out crowddur-

nearly drowned out the pealing of
BigBen. And, muchtotherelief of

wore their traditional bikinis de-

sand at 67 degrees when the day
started.
There are so many people out
here already, and its only 10
oclock in the morning, said Ger-
manys Ilka Semmler, who with
partner Katrin Holtwick beat Ha-
na Klapalova and Lenka Hajecko-
va of the Czech Republic in
straight sets. Its really, really, re-
ally nice.
Located just inside the gate

real excitement
this fortnight is
inside the stadi-

blending into a crowd that was

event was done.
He was totally spent.
He was thoroughly beaten, per-
haps signaling a changing of the
guard at the pool.
This is my year, said Lochte,
who popped in his grillz dia-
mond-studded mouth jewelry
for the victory ceremony. I know
it and I feel it, because Ive put in
hard work. Ive trained my butt off
for four years ... andtheres no bet-
ter way to start this Olympics off
than getting gold.
For Phelps, the start of these
games couldnt have been more
out of character.
He barely qualified for the eve-
ning final, a performance that
hinted at trouble ahead. Trouble
indeed. Phelps struggled to a
fourth-place finish, blown out by
Lochte and beaten by Brazils
Thiago Pereira and Japans Ko-
suke Hagino.
It was just a crappy race,
Phelps said. I felt fine the first
200, then I dont know. They just
swam a better race than me, a
smarter race than me, and were
better prepared than me. Thats
why theyre on the medal stand.
Lochte took the gold with a
time of 4 minutes, 5.18 seconds.
Pereira (4:08.86) and Hagino
(4:08.94) were well back but
ahead of Phelps, who touched
fourth in 4:09.28 nearly 5 1-2
seconds off his world record from
the Beijing Olympics and not
nearly as fast as he went during
the U.S. trials last month.
Since finishing fifth in his lone
event at Sydney, the 200 butterfly,
Phelps was 16-of-16 when it came
to winning medals at the Olym-
pics 14 golds and two bronzes.
That run is over.
Lochte climbed out of the pool
with a big smile, waving to the
crowd and looking about as fresh
as he did at the start. He had pre-
dicted this would be his year and,
for thefirst raceof theOlympics at
least, he was right on the mark.
I think Im kind of in shock
right now, he said. As for Phelps,
I know he gave it everything he
had. Thats all you can ask for.
Phelps was trying to become
the first male swimmer to win the
same individual event at three
straight Olympics. Hell have
three more chances at a threepeat
before hes done in London, hav-
ing also won the 200 individual
medley, plus the 100 and 200 but-
terfly, at Athens and Beijing.
But hell need a major come-
back. After one race, he looks
nothing like the swimmer who
won six gold medals in Athens,
then a record eight in Beijing to
break Mark Spitzs Olympic re-
cord.
Im surprised, and not pleas-
antly, Bowman said. I expected
hed be in the 4:06 range.
With first lady Michelle Obama
in the house waving a small U.S.
flag, everyone expected a duel be-
tween the two American stars.
Only Lochte showed up.
Phelps fell behind right from
the start inthe butterfly, his trade-
markstroke. Fromthere, it was all
Lochte. He stretched his margin
in the backstroke and breast-
stroke, then cruised to the gold in
the freestyle, a good three body
lengths ahead of the rest of the
field.
Its frustrating, thats all I can
say. Its pretty upsetting, Phelps
said. The biggest thing nowis to
try tolookforward. I have a bunch
of other races, and hopefully we
canfinisha lot better thanhowwe
started.
China had a big night, claiming
a couple of gold medals.
Sixteen-year-old Ye Shiwen set

bodysuits were banned at the end
of 2009. Shewonin4:28.43, break-
ing the mark of 4:29.45 by Austra-
lias Stephanie Rice at the 2008
Beijing Games. American Eliza-
bethBeisel tooksilver andChinas
Li Xuanxu grabbed the bronze.
SunYangflirtedwithaworldre-
cordinthe mens 400freestyle. He
took gold in 3:40.14, just off the
mark of 3:40.07 by Germanys
Paul Biedermann in a rubberized
suit three years ago. When it was
done, Sun propped himself on the
lane rope, pumping his fist and
splashing the water.
South Koreas Park Tae-hwan
won silver in 3:42.06, fortunate
even to take part after initially be-
ing disqualified for a false start in
the prelims. The ruling was over-
turned by governing body FINAa
couple of hours later on appeal.
Peter Vanderkaay of the U.S. won
the bronze.
Australia captured gold in the
womens 400 freestyle relay with
an Olympic record of 3:33.15, ral-
lying to pass the Americans and
hold off the fast-charging Nether-
lands.
The U.S. got off to a blistering
start with Missy Franklin swim-
ming leadoff under world-record
pace, andtheAmericans werestill
ahead after Jessica Hardy went
next. But the Australians rallied
behind Brittany Elmslie on the
third 100, and Melanie Schlanger
held on at the end, with Ranomi
Kromowidjojo closing fast to give
the Netherlands a silver in
3:33.79.
The other members of the win-
ning team were Alicia Coutts and
Cate Campbell.
The Americans slipped to the
bronze in 3:34.24, but that was
still good enough to give Natalie
Coughlinthe12thmedal of her ca-
reer, tying Dara Torres and Jenny
Thompson as the most decorated
U.S. female Olympians in any
sport.
Coughlin swamin the morning
prelims, then was reduced to the
role of cheerleader in the evening
as the Americans went with Fran-
klin, Hardy, Lia Neal and Allison
Schmitt. Everyone who swims on
a relay gets a medal, though.
I really have no idea what to
think of it so far, Coughlin said.
Ill have to take it all in tonight.
Imvery proud of it, but Ive never
been on a morning relay before.
There was no medal for Phelps.
His close call in the morning
prelims put him in an already un-
customary position swimming
on the outside in the No. 8 lane.
He only had one swimmer next to
himand no idea what Lochte and
the others in the middle of the
pool were doing.
Not that it would have mat-
tered.
I dont think the lane had any-
thingtodowithit, Phelps said. I
just couldnt really put myself in a
good spot for that race. Its frus-
trating for sure. ... Its just really
frustrating to start off on a bad
note like this.
Phelps still has six more events
to swimin London, plenty of time
tomakeupfor his dismal start. He
remains two behind the most
medals won by any Olympian
Soviet gymnast Larisa Latyninas
markof 18ninegold, fivesilver,
four bronze.
Phelps put himself in position
toswimanother eight events with
his performance at the U.S. trials,
but he decided to drop the 200-
meter freestyle, feeling one less
race would give his body a better
chancetorecover andimprovehis
performance in the other events.
Now, he may be regretting that
decision.
The 400IMwas anevent he has
dominated, winning gold at the
last twoOlympics andholdingthe
worldrecordfor afull decade. But,
tired of putting his body through
such a grind, he dropped it from
his program after setting a world
record in Beijing four years ago
(4:03.84), vowingnever toswimit

meter individual medley swimming final at the Aquatics Centre on
Saturday in London.
ANCASTER, Ontario
Robert Garrigus broke the 54-
hole scoring record at the Cana-
dian Open that was first set
more than a half-century ago by
Arnold Palmer.
Now he needs to finish like
the King.
On rain-softened greens that
took the bite out of Hamilton
Golf & Country Club, Garrigus
combined his power with some
timely putts for a 6-under 64 on
Saturday that gave him a one-
shot lead over William McGirt,
who lost ground despite a 66.
Scott Piercy had a 67 and
was another shot behind.
Garrigus was at 16-under 194,
one shot better than Palmer in
1955 at Weston Golf & Country
Club outside Toronto, and
matched two years ago by Dean
Wilson at St. Georges Golf &
Country Club. Palmer went on
to win the 1955 Canadian Open
for the first of his 62 titles on
the PGA Tour.
Garrigus will be going for his
second win, though this tourna-
ment is a long way from being
settled.
He was fortunate to escape
with par, not to mention his
health, on the final hole when
his 3-iron off the tee ran out
290 yards and just into the
hazard short of the bridge. He
had to clip the ball to avoid
smacking the bridge and da-
maging his wrist, and the
wedge came out perfectly.
Scott Stallings, who won last
week in Mississippi, birdied his
last two holes for a 63 and was
four shots behind, along with
Chris Kirk (63) and Bo Van
Pelt (67). Stallings ended a
streak of nine consecutive PGA
Tour events in which the 54-
hole leader failed to win. The
ninth was Ernie Els coming
from six shots behind at the
British Open. Stalling won later
that day.
SENIOR BRITISH OPEN
TURNBERRY, Scotland
Bernard Langer shot a 4-under
66 to take a one-stroke lead
over Fred Couples heading into
the final round of the Senior
British Open.
Langer, the 2010 winner at
Carnoustie, had a 7-under 203
total on Turnberrys Ailsa
Course. Couples, making his
first appearance in the event,
had a 64.
Peter Fowler was 5 under
after a 65, and John Cook,
Barry Lane and second-round
Gary Hallberg followed at 5
under. John Cook and Barry
Lane shot 66, and Hallberg had
a 73.

INDIANAPOLIS(AP) Tak-
en aback by speculation that his
crew chief change was made
largely because of the No. 99
teams disappointing perform-
ance this season, Carl Edwards
spent a good portion of a 20-
minute interview session ex-
plaining that former crew chief
Bob Osborne really is dealing
with significant health issues.
Then Edwards was interrupt-
ed by some good-natured but
still fairly sharp heckling
fromfellowdriver Clint Bowyer,
who was sitting nearby.
Hey, Carl! How many differ-
ent ways can you explain why
you fired somebody? Bowyer
yelled.
Aday before his first race with
newcrewchief Chad Norris, Ed-
wards went out of his way to say
that team owner Jack Roush
made the change last week be-
cause of Osbornes ongoing
healthissues andnot because
the team goes into Sundays
Brickyard 400 ranked11th in the
Sprint Cup points standings.
I cant overstate enough that
Bobis a very, verydedicatedguy
to our sport and he is going
through something right now
that would be tough for any-
one, Edwards said. And for
him to have done what he has
done at this level and to have
kept it quiet, he is just a tough,
tough man. He is a good friend
of mine, soI amreally thinkinga
lot of him.
Osborne remains with the
teamin a management role. But
Edwards said Osborne could re-
turn as his crew chief once his
health issues, which the team
has not disclosed, are resolved.
What we are trying to do
right now is make the team bet-
ter and fix any issues we might
have, which we dont even know
exactly what the issues are, Ed-
wards said. If we dont do any
better here and Bob is up to it,
we will probably put Bob right
back in as soon as he is able. If
this goes well and Bob is doing
well in his new role and that is
the best thing for him and Chad
is doing great, then we will
move forward with that. Noth-
ingis instoneright now. It could
be a whole difference scenario
next week and we all knowthat.
We are doing everything we can
right now to be as good as we
can right now.
For now, Edwards is working
on establishing a relationship
with Norris.
Theyre off to a good start, as
Edwards was second in qualify-
ing on Saturday.
I think with the structure at
Roush and the way we have
done things, I dont expect to
miss a beat withChadhere, Ed-
wards said. We talkeda lot here
this last week and even through
the off weekend and I dont
thinkthat there is reallymuchof
a learning curve.
Edwards did acknowledge
that the relationship will be dif-
ferent. Osborne has an engi-
neering background, while Nor-
ris is more of a traditional crew
chief who will rely on the teams
engineers for information.
(Osborne) is an engineer
and he stands on his own two
feet and does what he thinks is
right and that has given us a
huge amount of success, Ed-
wards said. Chad appears to be
and I dont know him really
well yet (but) the structure
seems to be a little different
where it will be a standard crew
chief-driver combination where
he will rely on the engineers
more than Bob did because he
doesnt have the same engineer-
ing background. And I think
there will be times where that is
better and times where that is
worse. I think we will just have
to see.
If things dont get fixed quick-
ly, Edwards knows he is in dan-
ger of missing out on NASCARs
season-ending Chase after los-
ingthetitletoTonyStewart ona
tiebreaker last season.
Chad and I agreed we are
putting our feelings aside, Ed-
wards said. We are going to tell
each other everything. If I dont
like something he is doing, I am
going to tell him, and if I amdo-
ing something he doesnt like he
is going to tell me. We are going
to race hard, communicate and
it doesnt matter. If we like each
other, great. If we yell at each
other, it doesnt matter. We are
going to try to be fast. It seems
to be going well so far.
Five-time Cup champion Jim-
mie Johnson says the move
could jolt the No. 99 teams per-
formance.
Its tough, but they are at a
point and time where they have
to do something different, Jim-
mie Johnson said. Id imagine
that from the final few laps at
Homestead until now has been
the toughest part. Now theyve
probably turned the page and
moving forward with the deci-
sions theyve made. I would as-
sume it brings a little bit of new
life and excitement to the pro-
gram.

Sadler penalty hands Indy win to Keselowski
INDIANAPOLIS Brad Keselowski took the lead when Elliott
Sadler was penalized for jumping a late restart, then held on to
win Saturday in a controversial finish to the first NASCAR
Nationwide Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Sadler passed Keselowski on a restart with 18 laps to go, but
officials ruled that Sadler went too early and black-flagged him.
Sadler stayed on the track for several laps, apparently hoping
officials would reconsider the penalty, before finally coming in
with 12 laps to go and giving up the lead to Keselowski.
Keselowski went unchallenged to the finish on the historic
2.5-mile oval.
Sam Hornish Jr. was second, followed by Ty Dillon, Denny
Hamlin and Austin Dillon.
Sadler finished 15th.

BETHLEHEMIt didnt take
long.
Before they even commenced
hitting at the first practice with
full pads, the Eagles suffered
their first significant injury of
training camp when Riley Coop-
er fractured his left collarbone
Saturday.
The teamdidnot estimate how
long the wide receiver would be
out, but broken collarbones typ-
ically require four to six weeks of
recovery, depending upon the se-
verity of the break. The Eagles
open the season in six weeks,
when they travel to Cleveland on
Sept. 9.
Eagles general manager Howie
Roseman said that he could not
estimate howlong Cooper would
be out until he had an X-ray and
the teams medical staff evaluat-
ed the third-year receiver.
"I thinkits abumpintheroad,"
Roseman said. "Hell recover
from it."
Cooper entered camp as the
Eagles likely fourth receiver. He
filledthat role most of last season
and was also a special-teams
standout. He did start three
games when Jeremy Maclin was
sidelined and finished the season
with16 catches for 315 yards and
one touchdown.
"Hes hada goodoffseason, and
because hes had that offseason
hes gottena lot of reps ... andgot-
ten stronger and got more knowl-
edge of our system, and that will
benefit him when hes ready to
come back," Roseman said.
When asked if the Eagles
would consider signing a free-
agent receiver inlight of Coopers
injury, Roseman pointed out that
he had 12 other receivers on the
roster. The similarly sized Mar-
vin McNutt could get additional
opportunities to impress coach-
es. Hes made several nice catch-
es at Lehigh University, although
he isnt particularly quick off the
line.
Cooper (6-foot-3, 222 pounds)
andMcNutt (6-2, 216) arethetwo
biggest receivers in camp. Sever-
al free agent receivers who are
still on the market could help the
Eagles in the size department.
BraylonEdwards (6-3, 214), Mike
Williams (6-5, 235), and Plaxico
Burress (6-5, 232) remained un-
signed perhaps for good rea-
son.
The Eagles flirted with the
idea of bringing Burress, 34,
aboard after his release frompris-
on last year. He has lobbied hard
for Andy Reid to bring him to
Philly, but his best days are cer-
tainly behind him.

two other riders attempted the
ride again, but had to abandon
after about 85 miles because of
extreme heat.
So what is the ride like?
Once you are out of Penn-
sylvania its pretty flat, Hopeck
said.
Thats the good news.
The 100 or so miles using
Route 309 it takes to get out of
Pennsylvania feature some-
where between 5,400 to 6,800
feet of climbing, depending on
the navigation system used.
After leaving Route 309, Ho-
peck says he mainly follows
back roads into Delaware.
No matter what the route is it
makes for a pretty arduous day
in the saddle.
I started in March (for the
first ride), the 34-year-old man-
ager at Amazon.com said. I just
started building up miles. I had
done seven or eight centuries
before the first ride.
Figuring out what to eat is
also extremely important.
You have to experiment with
foods that will get you through,
Hopeck said. And not just
foods that will power you phys-
ically but mentally, too.
Comfort foods are important.
On my first ride down, I stopped
for a hamburger and fries.
After 212 miles of pedaling,
can a rider have anything left to
enjoy the beach?
The first time I was so ener-
gized at that point, even though
it was night, because I had
trained so hard, Hopeck said. I
was totally pumped for it. I was
very alive.
More Meeker
Richard Meekers incredible
win streak has been extended
since the last Cycling Scene
column.
The former area resident,
who now calls California home,
won the mens 45-and-older
division of Paramount Criteri-
um in Carson, Calif., on July 15.
That makes it eight victories in
a row for the 49-year-old.
Also, I made a mistake in my
last column about Meeker. His
parents are Mary Anne and
George Meeker of Plymouth.

niella couldnt fix. After winning
just 61 and 66 games in his first
two seasons, Maddon quickly
turned things around in 2008
with a World Series appearance.
Tampa Bay has strung together
four consecutive winning sea-
sons after suffering through 10
straight losing campaigns from
1998-2007.
Maddon, who is in his seventh
season with Tampa Bay, contin-
ues to get rave reviews around
the league. In a recent Mens
Health magazine poll of 100 Ma-
jor League players, he was voted
the smartest manager in base-
ball. Those accolades also echo
throughout his teams club-
house.
"Hes great," Rays utilityman
Ben Zobrist said of his manager.
"Ever since Ive been here, Joes
been a players manger. A guy
that treats you like a person first,
which you really appreciate. Hes
definitely the most intellectual
manager Ive ever had. Hes an
avid reader. He thinks, and uses
his brain. The thing about him is
hes the type of person who wont
do things inside the box. He
thinks outside the box and is an
innovative baseball man."
Another local baseball prod-
uct, Russ Canzler, joined forces
with Maddon and spent the 2011
season as part of the Tampa Bay
organization. Although he spent
almost the entire season with
AAA Durham, Canzler did get to
make his major league debut
with Tampa Bay as a September
call up. Contrary to what many
local fans believed, Maddon
didnt have a hand in getting his
fellow Hazleton native to the
Rays.
"I had nothing to do with it,"
Maddon said. "I really didnt
know Russ at all. I had heard
about him from Dave Cassarella
and Bruce Leib. Ill tell you this,
he exceeded all my expectations
as a player. But more than that,
he is a great guy. I mean, I was
really proud to say that he was
from Hazleton. Because he repre-
sented himself so well among the
players and the front office here."
Outside of baseball, Maddon is
contributing to his hometown in
a big way. He has spearheaded
the Hazleton Integration Project,
in which he hopes to unite the
Anglo and Hispanic communities
of his hometown. So far, he is ve-
ry pleased with the results.
"Were very close to buying a
building," Maddon said. "Once
we buy a building, well really be
able to sell the program. Weve
raised close to $400,000. We will
still continue to raise more mon-
ey, and were looking forward to
getting some grants. The big
thing is, once the doors open and
we showthat kind of progress, its
really gonna take off.
Its going well. More people
are becoming engaged with it.
Once those doors open, youre re-
ally going to see a renaissance for
our hometown."
Like any person who has made
it to the big time, Maddon re-
ceives lots of support from his
hometown people. Fans, friends
and family will frequent ballparks
like Baltimore or New York,
which are convenient day trips
from Hazleton.
"Its pretty cool," Maddon said
of the support. "I like it best when
they bring some kind of food to
pay for their tickets. I really ap-
preciate that. I revert to my ways
so quickly- my Hazletonian ac-
cent and phraseologies come
back, and I laugh. I like to laugh
and giggle, so when the boys and
my family show up, it gives me a
chance to recap the past and en-
joy it. I really dig that."
interview from the dugout at
Tropicana Field. "Were (3
1
2
games) out of the second wild
card, which is incredible. I was
talking to some other writers,
and the part thats been difficult
to understand is our record
against the AL Central, 8-16. We
have been the most banged up
when weve played against those
teams.
Nevertheless, were still in
good shape. Guys are getting
well. Matt Joyce is back. Longo
(third baseman Evan Longoria)
hopefully is close by. A lot of the
guys that have been hurt are
starting to come back."
Maddon also refuses to use the
small market philosophy as ex-
cuse. Tampa Bay has found suc-
cess in drafting and developing
starting pitchers from within.
The Rays have also gotten good
return on trading veteran players
away for prospects who have
contributed at the big league lev-
el.
"Obviously when you have
more money, you are able to buy
more of what you want," Mad-
don said. "Just like any other
household, you are able to buy a
bigger house or faster cars. That
just comes with more money.
But if you dont have that, you
can still have a nice car or a nice
house, still live comfortably and
have an entertaining life.
Even though we dont have
the same kind of dough, I love
how we do things. This is the es-
sence of how things should be
run and done. I enjoy it."
Things didnt start out easy for
Maddon, who inherited a losing
franchise that the likes of Lou Pi-
RAYS
ter.
All six confirmed that they
were on campus this weekend
and recommitted to the staff in
person.
Holding this recruiting class
together, on top of the talent
thats already on the roster, can
really help weather the storm of
the NCAA sanctions, said Steve
Wiltfong, a national recruiting
reporter for 247Sports, one of
three major recruiting networks
in the country.
The pledges remain non-bind-
ing until national signing day in
February. And the NCAA has
ruled that because of the sanc-
tions, they would be free to
transfer to another school and
still play immediately until pre-
season camp opens in August
2013.
But the fact that this group
has not wavered after Mondays
judgment is a positive sign for
Penn State.
Since his first interview on
Tuesday, OBriens recruiting
pitches have focused on educa-
tion, the atmosphere at Beaver
Stadium and the ability of his
staff to put players into the NFL.
The philosophy that I
brought here based on my expe-
rience with the New England Pa-
triots does not change, OBrien
said in regards to recruiting.
Meaning that were looking for
high-character guys that are
good students, that are tough
football players, and were going
to find different ways to do that.
On Friday at Big Ten media
days in Chicago, OBrien vowed
to open up the program to NFL
teams, in stark contrast to his
predecessor, Joe Paterno.
Come on in scout our play-
ers, OBrien said. Come on in.
If Saturday is any indication,
his pitches are resonating with
recruits.
Holding on to players like
Hackenberg, one of the nations
highest-rated quarterbacks, and
Breneman, arguably the top
player to come out of Pennsylva-
nia this year, sends a strong
message of support for OBrien
and his new staff.
If Hackenberg stays in the
fold, then others in the class will
see that, Wiltfong said. As the
quarterback, hes kind of the
leader for a team and a signing
class. Thats huge in a lot of
ways.
Its tough to win without a
quality guy under center, and
hes as good as anybody in the
country.
Starting with the 2013 class,
Penn State can only sign 15 play-
ers reduced from 25 in each
of the next four years.
Recruits that sign on in Febru-
ary do so knowing they cannot
compete for a national cham-
pionship, a Big Ten title or even
play in a bowl game in their first
three years on campus. And by
the time the postseason ban is
lifted, Penn State will still be tak-
ing the field with just 65 scholar-
ship players as opposed to 85 for
their opponents.
Significant, even crippling,
handicaps. Apparently not
enough to deter some recruits.
Were going to do something
a lot bigger than win bowl
games, Breneman wrote.
Thats a promise.
Getting creative
Though the NCAA sanctions
will hinder recruiting going for-
ward, they do not affect the 2012
class, which signed in February.
Penn State actually added an-
other member to that 2012
scholarship group on Thursday
when Arizona linebacker Bren-
nan Franklin committed to the
Lions.
According to 247Sports, Fran-
klin signed a letter of intent for
Penn State on Friday and is set
to enroll at the school on Aug. 3.
Franklin, a first-team all-state
selection who was originally
headed to a local community col-
lege, becomes the 20th member
of the 2012 class.
Getting cautious
Also on the recruiting front,
Penn State is covering its bases
as far as compliance because of
the intense scrutiny now on the
program. On Friday, the athletic
department posted on its official
Facebook page, asking fans and
alumni to refrain from messag-
ing recruits on Facebook and
Twitter.
There has never been a time
in Penn States history when it
has been more important for
boosters and fans to be aware of
and adhere to NCAA rules, the
message said. Thus, we are is-
suing a reminder that NCAA By-
law 13.01.4 prohibits friends of
Penn State Athletics from engag-
ing in written or telephonic com-
munication with prospective stu-
dent-athletes.
Examples of impermissible
activities for boosters and fans
includes creation of Facebook
pages designed to show support
of a specific recruit, sending e-
mails or text messages to
recruits, posting messages on a
recruits Facebook wall and send-
ing tweets directed to recruits.
Your assistance and helping PSU
comply with NCAA rules is very
important and much appreciat-
ed.
The bylaw cited is nearly im-
possible to enforce in regards to
social media, however, as high
school players across the coun-
try use it to interact daily with
regular college fans.
For every 10 fans that mean
well, theres always one that
crosses the line, Wiltfong said.
But what can you do? How can
you enforce that? Who can? It
wouldnt be fair to single one
school out. The NCAA would
have to handle it with every
school in the country.
SOLID
Holding this recruiting class together, on top of
the talent thats already on the roster, can really
help weather the storm of the NCAA sanctions.

Mountain Top falters in regional debut
The Times Leader staff
The second season of racing
for 3-year-olds swings into high
gear this weekend with the Jim
Dandy Stakes at Saratoga and
the Haskell Invitational at Mon-
mouth Park. Too bad all the
stars arent around anymore.
While both races feature com-
petitive fields, the winners of
the Triple Crown races are re-
tired, and the next best horse is
recovering from a fever.
Is there another standout
waiting in starting gate?
With Ill Have Another, Bo-
demeister and Union Rags not
being around, that leaves the
door open for one of them, says
Michael Matz, who trained
Union Rags, the Belmont Stakes
winner, and will send out Teeth
of the Dog in the Jim Dandy on
Saturday.
The Triple Crown grind took
a toll on the top talent. Derby
and Preakness winner Ill Have
Another was retired the day be-
fore the Belmont because of a
leg injury, followed a few weeks
later by Union Rags retirement
due to injury. Preakness runner-
up Bodemeister, meanwhile,
was training for the Haskell but
a fever put him on the shelf, and
hes recouping before his next
start.
And as Matz says, there just
may be a rising star ready to
step up.
In the Jim Dandy, Derby also-
ran Alpha is the slight 5-2 favor-
ite in a field of eight, while Hall
of Fame trainer Bob Bafferts
Paynter is the 3-2 choice in a six-
horse field for the Haskell on
Sunday. The11/8-mile races are
considered preps for the $1 mil-
lion Travers Stakes at the Spa on
Aug. 25.
Baffert finished second in
each of the Triple Crown races
Bodemeister in the Derby
and Preakness, Paynter in the
Belmont and now has a
chance for a Jim Dandy-Haskell
double. He will send out Liaison
in the JimDandy as the 7-2 third
choice.
Baffert is staying home in Cal-
ifornia this weekend, so its the
job of assistant Jimmy Barnes to
have Paynter ready to give his
boss a third straight Haskell win
and a record sixth overall.
Im just happy to have a
horse fit enough to run, and be
the favorite, said Baffert, who
won the Haskell with Coil last
year, and with Lookin At Lucky
in 2010.
His key to success at the Jer-
sey Shore track?
You have to go to Maxs Hot
Dogs and have a hot dog for
lunch. It usually works, said
Baffert of the near-the-track
joint thats been dishing out
dogs for more than 80 years.
To that end, Baffert has in-
structed Barnes to show up at
Maxs before Dale Romans, the
trainer of 3-1 co-second choice
Dullahan, a colt who ran third in
the Derby and seventh in the
Belmont.
Romans is optimistic, but
knows he needs a sensational ef-
fort from Dullahan, who will be
ridden by Kent Desormeaux.
I am a huge fan of Paynters,
said Romans. Hes the horse to
beat and will be out there run-
ning. Well have to run him
down.

OUT DOORS
NOT ES
I
s it possible to protect an animal
that is despised by many?
Thats the question the Penn-
sylvania Game Commission is facing as
bats could be headed toward the states
threatened and endangered species list.
Misconceptions have made bats
more despised than appreciated, form-
ing deadly mindsets similar to those
that surround snakes and spiders,
which are often chopped or crushed at
first sight.
But now, thanks to a deadly disease
that is wiping out bat colonies in sever-
al states, its time to change the mind-
set about the winged mammals.
No longer can bats afford to be de-
spised they need to be saved.
Since white-nose syndrome a fun-
gus that kills bats in their winter hi-
bernacula, was discovered in 2006,
more than one million have perished.
And the death toll is undoubtedly
rising.
There is really no way to treat bat
colonies affected with the fungus, and
it has already spread through several
states, Pennsylvania included.
Locally, the fungus appeared in the
winter of 2008-09 and the following
year bat mortality was reported in
virtually every county in Northeastern
Pennsylvania. Traditional hibernation
areas in Shickshinny, Plymouth and
Glen Lyon were devastated, and some
colonies were completely wiped out.
That same winter, in Carbon County,
PGC biologist Kevin Wenner said that
so many bats were killed by the fungus
that it was a nightmare.
And thats why the PGC board may
soon be faced with the decision to list
bats on the threatened and endangered
list.
Based on sheer mortality alone, the
answer would be yes.
But its not that simple.
Placing bats on the list would afford
them protection, but it may severely
restrict what humans can do if they
have bats in their attic, for example.
Removing a bat from a house or tear-
ing down an abandoned building where
they are known to roost may not be
that simple anymore.
Balancing human impacts with sav-
ing a species on a rapid decline repre-
sents a major predicament.
And it gets even more complicated.
If a remedy, or at the least a control
measure, isnt found for white-nose
syndrome, protecting the places where
bats reside may be a moot point any-
how.
Protecting the summer maternity
sites, where female bats are now rear-
ing their pups, seems like a good first
step. But any progress derived from the
measure could be negated if the white-
nose fungus wipes out those same bats
in their winter hibernacula.
Unfortunately, there is no easy solu-
tion to the problems facing bats. The
results of just how bad things are can
be seen, or not, in the summertime
skies.
Evenings when dozens of bats were
commonly seen darting after insects
are now vacant of activity. Ive gotten
several emails from readers who were
so excited just to see a bat anymore
that they wanted to share the sighting.
They felt that just seeing a bat in this
day and age was noteworthy.
Unfortunately, it is.
Listing bats on the threatened and
endangered list likely wont be the
cure-all and there will be some major
challenges with the action.
But its one that needs to be done.
At the very least, it shows that we
can put our misconceptions aside and
protect an animal that is rapidly vanish-
ing from the evening sky.
To do nothing at all and let bats
continue to perish is something to
truly despise.

WEEKLY BASS TOURNAMENT RESULTS
When it came time to choose their
senior project for the upcoming school
year, Antonio Constantino and Nicole
OConnor chose to go fishing.
Both students will be utilizing charity
bass tournaments to meet the require-
ments for their senior project. Constan-
tino, a rising senior at Hanover Area
High School, is working with Fishing
for a Cause to organize a tournament at
Lake Winola to raise funds for the St.
Josephs Center in Scranton. OConnor
will be entering her senior year at Lake-
Lehman and will host her own bass
tournament at Harveys Lake to raise
money for the Catch ADreamFounda-
tion.
For Constantino and OConnor, who
are both avid anglers, the projects were
a way to combine their love of fishing
into something that helps others.
Quick learner
Constantino, 17, didnt get into fishing
until five years ago, when he and his cousin
fished the Susquehanna River for small-
mouth bass.
It was a newendeavor for Constantino,
one that would quickly growinto an addic-
tion.
I just really enjoyed going out there and
getting away fromeverything, he said. It
was just a great way to experience nature.
Soon after, Constantino joined the Hanov-
er Area Bass Club and his angling skills were
honed.
Fishing can be as basic or complex as you
make it, Constantino said. My favorite
place to fish is the river, and I like to go
pretty in-depth with it in regards to the baits
and techniques I use.
But Constantinos lessons at the club
werent limited to bass lures and techniques.
Under club instructors George Bowers, John
Centak and John Nealon, Constantino
learned howto use fishing to help others.
The kids in the club are involved with
charity work and helping out the communi-
ty, Bowers said. Thats an important part
of it.
And thats one reason why Constantino,
who hopes to major in engineering at Penn
State or Wilkes, chose to get involved with
the St. Josephs tournament to fulfill his
senior project requirements.
Not that he wasnt involved already.
Ive been helping out with the tourna-
ment for three years, and I figured since I
was doing that Id get more in-depth with it
and take on more responsibilities, Constan-
tino said.
Such ambition doesnt surprise Bowers,
who has watched Constantino come to the
bass club with little fishing experience
and evolve into proven bass angler with
several tournaments under his belt.
Hes put a tremendous amount of
time and effort into the tournament,
Bowers said. When he joined the high
school club, he really wanted to be
involved with everything we do. Hes
really taken what we taught himabout
fishing and the community and has
done something good with it.
As a result, Constantino has spent the
summer working on fundraising for the
tournament, posting flyers in local bait
shops and seeking donations fromarea
businesses. He has already raised more
than $700, in addition to several gift
certificates and prize donations.
I didnt think it was as much work as
it is, Constantino said. I think I met
my hour requirement for the project
already, but Imnot going to stop. Ill be
at the tournament early in the morning
helping set up and be there all day.
Its one day that Constantino doesnt mind
watching others fish while he stays on shore.
The money raised fromthe tournament
for St. Joes really helps out the kids that are
there, Constantino said. If it can put a
smile on their faces, thats the biggest thing
bigger than fishing.
Turnout the final goal
OConnor began planning her bass tourna-
ment in March. Thats when she decided to
hold a charity tournament at Harveys Lake
for her senior project.
Since then, OConnor, 17, has been busy
seeking donations fromarea businesses,
posting flyers, advertising and learning how
to run a bass tournament.
Nowtheres one more goal left to accom-
Rising seniors use fishing tournaments to help others
Nicole OConnor looks over a weigh-in area as she prepares to hold a charity bass tournament at Harveys Lake on Aug. 19.

I hope people showup, she
said. Thats the most stressful
part of the entire process.
OConnors Aug. 19 tourna-
ment has a 50-boat maximum,
and shes hoping to meet the
limit not so much for her senior
project, but for those it will bene-
fit.
All proceeds and donations
will be given to the Catch A
DreamFoundation, an orga-
nization that provides once-in-a-
lifetime hunting and fishing
experiences for children who
have a life-threatening illness.
Most of us are able to come
out and fish whenever we feel
like it, but for a child in a hospital
or battling an illness, they need
to have this opportunity as well,
OConnor said. They need a
hand to be able to experience
what we all love about fishing.
OConnors mother, Teena, is
proud to see her daughter use
her love of fishing as a way to
help others.
I think its a great idea and
shes worked very hard on it, she
said. She recognizes the oppor-
tunity that we all have to go
fishing and enjoy the day, and Im
proud of her for wanting to give
that same opportunity to chil-
dren who otherwise might not
have it.
OConnor, who plans on enroll-
ing in the physician assistant
programat Misericordia Uni-
versity after graduation, has been
fishing her entire life. Combining
her love of fishing with her senior
project was an easy choice, she
said.
My uncle and brother both
fish tournaments and Imcom-
fortable doing this. It fit me, she
said.
While OConnor has plenty of
fishing experience, she has never
participated in a bass tourna-
ment, much less organized one.
Her first order of business was
to apply for a permit fromthe
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Com-
mission. Thats also when OCon-
nor received her first donation, as
the Harveys Lake Homecoming
Association covered the cost for a
permit to hold the tournament at
the public boat launch.
Since then, OConnor has been
doing what she can to spread the
word about her tournament.
Letters are being sent to local
businesses and she has even
posted flyers on the vehicles
parked at the boat launch for
each Wednesdays bass tourna-
ment at Harveys Lake.
The planning and preparing
for this has been a lot of work,
but it will pay off at the end when
I can send a donation check to
the foundation, OConnor said.
Aday out fishing will give those
children hope. Thats why Imso
excited about this.

Boat launch closed
The Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission has closed
the Whites Ferry access area in
Wyoming County due to low
water conditions, which have
made the launch ramp unusable.
Whites Ferry provides boat
access to the North Branch of
the Susquehanna River, six
miles south of Tunkhannock on
state Route 2007.
It currently is not safe to
launch a boat without damaging
the trailer off the end of the
ramp, said John Sinclair, PFBC
chief of construction and main-
tenance. The river has dropped
to a point that does not allow
anglers to safely launch a boat
without getting their trailer
hung up on the end of the
ramp.
PFBC staff will perform a site
visit within the next two weeks
to determine what actions, if
any, can be undertaken to make
the launch ramp usable during
the low water conditions. One
possible solution may be to pour
gravel at the end of the ramp,
which would extend the launch
area to the waters edge.
PGC posts bear data
Hunters interested in learning
the age of the bear they harvest-
ed during the 2011 seasons can
log onto the Pennsylvania Game
Commissions website
(www.pgc.state.pa.us). To ac-
cess the database providing this
information, click on Hunt/
Trap in the menu bar at the top
of the page, then click on Hunt-
ing, scroll down and click on
Black Bear in the Big Game
listing, and then scroll down
and click on Black Bear Age
Data in the Reference listing.
Ages are available only for
bears from which a tooth was
pulled. To access the data and
learn the age of their bear, a
hunter will need to have their
legal seal number from the
check station certificate. If the
hunter no longer has the seal
number, age data also is provid-
ed in charts broken down by
county of harvest.
In 2011, Pennsylvanias
162,164 licensed bear hunters
took a record 4,350 bears. The
previous record bear harvest of
4,164 was set in 2005.
Lehigh River water releases
The U.S. Army Corps of Engi-
neers Philadelphia District an-
nounced last week that it has
enough water storage to hold a
whitewater release on Aug. 25,
as well as increase fisheries
enhancements from the Francis
E. Walter Dam.
The Corps updated the recre-
ation plan, which states white-
water releases in late August
and in September will be added
if adequate water storage is
accumulated in the reservoir.
The fisheries enhancements
increase from 50 to 100 cubic
feet per second from July 28
through Aug. 3.
The Corps will announce at a
later date if it is able to hold
additional whitewater and fish-
eries releases.

UZERNE There are
many vivid images of the
1972 Agnes flood that
devastated thousands of homes
and businesses in Wyoming Val-
ley.
One of the most memorable
of flames rising from buildings
on Northampton Street in
Wilkes-Barre has beenreprint-
ed over and over again in the
decades since.
The photo and film footage
shows a major fire along ware-
house row on Northampton
Street. A fire erupted in a restau-
rant near the warehouse of M.D.
Brown distributors of dry goods
like linen, textiles and napery.
Nate Brown of M.D. Brown Co.
still runs the business that was
founded in 1924 by his father,
Morris David Brown, and is
now located on Union Street in
Luzerne. The burning building
was located at 92-94 East
Northampton St, near other
warehouses like Sperling To-
baccoandKleinCandy. InJune,
1972, Nate, who worked in the
business with his father and
brothers, was working the Cat-
skill Mountain region, calling
on motels and campsites. He
would sell anything, items
like aprons, uniforms, kitchen
linens, bar mops, tablecloths, nap-
Almost 90 years old, M.D. Brown still going strong
Nathan Brown, owner of M.D. Brown Co., talks about the history of his linens and textile distribution business.

P
ublic-private partnerships can be
great, yielding landmark projects
like the rebuilt World Trade Cen-
ter in New York or Sematech, the not-
for-profit consortium between the U.S.
government and semiconductor manu-
facturers that 25 years ago vaulted the
domestic technology industry past
Japan.
And even such a pro-business orga-
nization as the Marcellus Shale Coali-
tion believes government has a role to
play in bolstering sectors of the econo-
my that would seem to offer jobs, sav-
ings and efficiency.
But theres a difference between
aiding the reconstruction of an icon or
supporting an emerging technology in
a competitive world economy and
using taxpayer funds to expand the
market for an established industry that
has shown it has money burning holes
in its proverbial pockets.
The latter is how I read Sen. Bob
Caseys planned legislation that osten-
sibly would promote further devel-
opment and job growth in the natural
gas industry. Essentially, Casey is ad-
vocating that the federal and state
governments provide subsidies for the
construction of natural gas fueling
stations and the purchase of vehicles
that run on gas.
Im all for using more gas; its cheap-
er and cleaner than fuels derived from
oil and we dont have to import it. But
given the economic advantages to
consumers and the profit potential to
the gas industry, I dont see a need to
give grants and tax credits as encour-
agement.
Except that big business, despite its
usual whining about government in-
trusion, likes a handout as much as
anyone.
Caseys vaguely worded announce-
ment was long on promises and short
on details. It suggests that states devise
their own incentives based on the
needs and opportunities in each, sup-
ported by $500 million in federal funds
distributed each year between 2013 and
2022. Where would the money come
from? Senator Casey wants this legis-
lation to be fully paid for and will find
appropriate off-sets, his staff wrote in
response to that question.
The Marcellus Shale Coalition draft-
ed a much more comprehensive plan
last year, in which it laid out various
scenarios for creating a retail natural
gas distribution network in Pennsylva-
nia. The estimated cost to boost con-
struction of fueling stations and sale of
gas-powered vehicles ran as high as
$208 million. Several financing
schemes were offered, none as far as I
could tell involving the industry kick-
ing in some of its money or involving a
slight surtax on the gas it removes
from under our feet.
In at least one example, the coalition
cites a financing scheme in Utah under
which all users of natural gas not just
in vehicles pay higher rates with the
extra money going to build the distri-
bution network.
Pennsylvania already has a grant
program to support the purchase of
vehicles powered by alternative fuels.
Its paid for with a portion of the gross
receipts tax on utilities, so essentially
were all chipping in.
At the very end of its extensive re-
port on financing options, the coalition
includes a few paragraphs about the
Private Investment Model under
which entrepreneurs and their backers
build fueling stations with their own
money.
After seeing how the gas producers
throw around billions to buy leases on
land they may never drill, that gets my
vote. If they want to expand their mar-
kets faster, as the primary beneficiaries
of more natural gas use they should be
easily able to come up with the cash
needed to fund expansion.

ST. LOUIS Anders Min-
kler & Diehl was prepared for
the recent U.S. Supreme Court
decision on the national health
care overhaul.
With the ink barely dry on
the ruling, the St. Louis ac-
counting firm noted the out-
come on its Gray Matter blog
and linked the post to a social
media site a heads up to cli-
ents and potential customers
that the company intended to
stay on top of the situation. An
analysis of the acts potential
tax consequences on business-
es soon followed.
Anders Minkler & Diehl
once invested time and no
small amount of capital for ed-
iting, layout, printing and post-
age to deliver tax tips andlegis-
lative and policy updates to cli-
ents on a leisurely quarterly
schedule. Now, it operates
somewhat more like a digital
news operation, responding
immediately to breaking
events on multiple platforms
anticipating clients ques-
tions anddigital searches at the
precise moment they arise.
Ive been in (marketing) 30
years, and social media has
changed the game more than
anythingI canthinkof, because
of all the ways people can now
see your message, said Donna
Erbs, the companys marketing
director.
As recently as five years ago,
businesses and nonprofits alike
still seemed puzzled at the
business value of social media
platforms, then derided as a
what-I-had-for-lunch frivolity.
Even now, they struggle to
quantify exactly what impact
their investments in social
media and Web content pro-
duce for their bottom lines.
But the strategy is as much
defensive as offensive, as it
grows increasingly clear that
companies withno digital pres-
ence are becoming simply in-
visible to many consumers.
Businesses that dont em-
brace social media as a market-
ingtool dosoat their ownperil,
warns Steve Nicholls, author of
Social Media in Business.

NEW YORK When John Arens-
meyer owned a high-tech company, he
didnt feel the organizations that lobbied
on behalf of small business really repre-
sented him or many other business
owners.
They put forth a monolithic view of
what small business wants, says Arens-
meyer. I felt they were overly partisan
and overly ideological and didnt really
look pragmatically at what small busi-
nesses need. SoI felt there was anoppor-
tunity and a need for a new voice.
In 2005, Arensmeyer founded Small
Business Majority, a group that nowhas
8,000 business people nationwide in its
network. Like other lobbying groups,
Small Business Majority takes positions
on issues including tax and regulation.
But it doesnt follow the pack. Arens-
meyers group supported President Ba-
rack Obamas overhaul of the health care
systema stark contrast to the Nation-
al Federation of Independent Business,
which unsuccessfully argued against the
law before the Supreme Court.
Policy makers need to listen to differ-
ent voices because there are a variety of
small businesses out there, Arens-
meyer says. One of the things were try-
ing to do is be somewhat of an aggrega-
tor of some of those voices.
Arensmeyer, now based in California,
began his working life as a commercial
and corporate lawattorney in NewYork,
where he was born. He served as chief
operating officer of SoftAd Group, a de-
veloper of multimedia marketing prod-
ucts, and then founded ACI Interactive,
an e-commerce company. He started
Small Business Majority after selling his
company.
Arensmeyer spoke recently with The
Associated Press. Here are excerpts, ed-
ited for clarity and brevity:

Q.: My boss, Jerry, has a
high-level position with a state
government agency, but he
actually does very little work.
He spends most of his time
surfing the Internet and talking
to his buddies on the phone.
Although people complain
about Jerry, his position is
secure because the top exec-
utives apparently think hes
great.
As Jerrys secretary, Im tired
of constantly having to cover
for him. I have tried to move to
another position, but Jerry
always blocks my attempts to
transfer. He seems determined
to kill my chances of getting
another job. I dont want to
leave state government, be-
cause I have 20 years invested
in the retirement system. Is
there a way out of this situa-
tion?
A.: Giving individual manag-
ers blanket authority to block
transfers is a misguided and
counterproductive policy.
When forced to stay in jobs
they no longer want, employees
tend to become resentful and
unmotivated. The best ones
usually decide to depart for
greener pastures.
To remove this obstruction,
you need an ally in human
resources, because HR folks
frequently know how to circum-
vent bosses who try to hold
people hostage. But if Jerrys
political pull is strong enough
to override any attempt to set
you free, then you will have to
explore other alternatives.
One possibility is to seek
employment in another state
agency. To investigate that
option, contact your states
central personnel office about
possible opportunities. You
might also consider moving to
another level of government,
since some local or federal
agencies might be able to rec-
ognize your years of state ser-
vice.
Because secretaries usually
have transferable skills, the
good news is that you should
have no trouble finding a suit-
able position. However, the bad
news is that you may have to
navigate an administrative
obstacle course in order to
make your escape.
Q: One of my employees goes
to the bathroom all the time. I
could swear that Helen is in
the restroom more than shes at
her desk. A reliable source told
me Helen is taking laxatives to
lose weight. This is beginning
to affect her work, so do you
think I should confront her
about it?
A: If your company is large
enough to be covered by the
Americans with Disabilities
Act, check with human re-
sources to see whether Helen
has declared herself to have a
disabling condition. If so, the
company may be expected to
accommodate her needs. But if
not, then you need to have a
talk about her job performance,
not her bathroom habits.
For example: Helen, Ive
noticed that youre spending a
lot of time away from your
desk. This is hurting your pro-
ductivity and making it difficult
for people to find you. Obvi-
ously, we all need to take an
occasional break, but I do ex-
pect you to be at your desk
most of the time.
If the rumor about laxatives
is correct, perhaps this repri-
mand will motivate Helen to
stop that harmful practice. But
if she attributes the problem to
a medical issue, seek legal
advice before taking further
action.

ferent from other small business
groups?
A. Most small business owners are
pragmatic, the vast majority. Some are
ideological on the right, some are ide-
ological on the left. The fact is, most
small business owners, as I did when I
ran my business, get up in the morning
and worry about payroll, worry about
putting out a good product, worry
about their customers, worry about all
the bumps in the road. I felt that on
many issues, the business organiza-
tions took very ideological, sort of
blanket positions. For instance, all gov-
ernment is bad, or all government reg-
ulation is bad. Thats not the way most
small business owners think. You real-
ly need to look at things on an issue by
issue basis. Q. When you say that small
business owners dont take blanket po-
sitions, how do you know that?
A. Weve done extensive polling over
the last five, six, seven years. When I
started the business, it was a feeling I
had but its been validated by polling.
Q. What did you see in the health
care law that made you support it?
A. The starting point is that the ex-
isting system is completely broken, so
its hard to imagine anything worse
than the status quo. We knowthat cost
is the biggest consideration for small
businesses. And so we were obviously
looking for ways that the law could
bring down costs, whether it was
something specific for small business-
es like tax credits, or the health insur-
ance exchanges, which will enable
small businesses to have the same kind
of bargaining power as big businesses
andoffer their employees the same lev-
el of choice.
What we need to do nowis get it im-
plemented, figure out whats working
and whats not.
Q. What is another issue that Small
Business Majority has a different stand
on?
A. Another example is clean energy.
Clean energy is a huge economic en-
gine for this country, for big and small
businesses, and yet the policies that
certain groups push seem to be sup-
ported only by traditional fossil fuel
companies not evenall bigbusiness-
es, much less any small businesses. So
again, it was an example of groups stat-
ing a business position, calling it good
for small business, and really only re-
flecting a narrow segment of the big
business community.
We support the cap and trade bill
(designed to limit the amount of car-
bon emissions in the atmosphere). It
was designed to put us in a position
where there would be incentives to
build new clean energy industries,
which will have or are having signifi-
cant benefits for businesses large and
small. Q. Who would be better for busi-
ness, Romney or Obama?
A. We dont take a position on any
campaign. We have, generally speak-
ing, been pleased with the Obamas ad-
ministrations focus onsome key issues
that we think are important for small
business, like getting the health care
law passed.
To the extent that any candidate is
taking a rigid ideological position on
things, we dont think thats in the best
interest of small business. What welike
about the administration the last cou-
ple of years is it seems to have had a
pragmatic look at issues and was not
driven by blanket ideology.
SMALL TALK
Continued from Page 1D
Any company ignoring it is already be-
hind, Nicholls said.
The laggards miss out on an increasingly
powerful branding and promotion opportu-
nity. And institutions lacking oversight of
consumer review sites such as Yelp, where
any angry consumer can rant publicly, are
essentially waving a white flag on damage
control. It wasnt that long ago that Kaysha
Kalkofen and JoAnna Dettman, the co-
founders of digital marketing firm tSunela
had a tough time selling the concept of so-
cial media to clients.
Kalkofen and Dettman say that You
want me to be on Facebook? Why? Isnt it a
college thing? was a fairly typical response
to the suggestion that a company integrate
social media into its marketing strategy.
Amega-secondincyberspacelater, rareis
the corporation, small business or nonprof-
it without a presence on Facebook, Twitter,
LinkedIn, YouTube and other prominent
social media sites. The experts say a suc-
cessful social media strategy involves far
more than signing up with Facebook, Link-
edIn or Twitter.
The experts say a successful social media
strategy involves far more than signing up
with Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter and
some industries, such as health care and fi-
nancial services, must adhere to legal and
ethical guidelines..
Nicholls says proceeding with caution is
key to navigating the social media land-
scape. The author, who lives in London,
suggests companies adopt clear policies.
Its critical, he adds, that employees under-
stand the comments communicated via so-
cial media will be closely monitored.
Because the personal can instantly be-
come public on social media, Nicholls sug-
gests businesses drive home the point that,
right or wrong, an employee comment on
Facebook or Twitter is often seen as reflect-
ing the viewpoint of their employer.
Which explains why Anders Minkler &
Diehl never waivers from one basic rule in
the annual review and upgrade of its social
media policy: Dont say anything bad
about (the company), a client or a referral,
said Erbs.
Companies may possess the capability to
rein in public comments by employees. But
the First Amendment renders them power-
less to stop online criticism lobbed by dis-
gruntled customers or clients.
If youre a good company, then social
media will not necessarily make a great
company, said Nicholls. But if you are not
a particularly good company, social media
will amplify what you are. It will tell you
things you may not want to hear.
Kalkofen counsels tSunelas clients to au-
dit public comments -- and advises strongly
against responding in kind to venomous
criticism. We recommend responding, but
respondpolitely, she said. Dont rant back
at them.
Thebeautyof social media, Nicholls said,
is that businesses nowdeliver ina matter of
seconds messages once took days if not
days or weeks to convey. But it hasnt
changed the fundamentals: You have to ac-
tually have good news about a product or
service in order to share it.
Social media is not a panacea, he said.
The rules of business still apply.

kins and more.
There were no cell
phones then, so when
Brown traveled he would
occasionally call home from
a pay phone to check in. In
late June, two days went by
when he couldnt reach his
wife, Doris, and he worried
something was wrong.
I finally talked to my
wife who was staying with
family in Scranton, Brown
said. She toldme about the
flood and I immediately
started for home.
Brown returned to dis-
cover not only were his
home and business flooded,
but the warehouse was
burning.
I remember getting to
the top of Northampton
Street and looking down,
Brown said. It was terrible.
I saw the building burning
and the water was still
high.
Somebody used to tell a
joke, probably in the Cat-
skills, about a building
burning in a flood.
Howdoyoustart a fire in
a flood? goes the set up.
Waterproof matches, is
the punch line.
But to Brown this was no
joke. He said it took a year
to return to his home in
Kingston. The business was
relocated to South Main
Street above the old J.S.
Raub Shoe Co., then moved
to Luzerne in 1987. Heri-
tage House now sits on the
site where the warehouse
was located.
Brown, 85, has adaptedto
a changing business cli-
mate. He used to order in-
ventory, store it and then
sell from his warehouse.
Now he takes orders and
then contacts his suppliers
to have merchandise drop-
shipped.
The business may be old,
but Brown is up on the lat-
est technology he is an ac-
complished tweeter on
Twitter.
Asked what he sells to-
day, Brown quickly respon-
ded, Anything and every-
thing. He talked about the
old days when he and his fa-
ther andbrothers wouldsell
what was hot. When the
demand wore off, they
would find something else
and push those items.
Brown said he has sold
chicken feeders, coal
miningbuckets, underwear,
socks, Victrola needles,
pantyhose, Band-Aids,
mousetraps, bras, girdles,
blue jeans, sweatshirts,
sheets and oil cloths.
Do you remember So-
lo? Brown asked. It was
product that you put on the
bottomof your shoes tocov-
er holes in the leather. It
was a big seller for a while.
Nowadays we sell, then
we buy, Brown said with a
chuckle. We have no inven-
tory.

Magazine a framed issue

at 418 Union St.
Andrea Medura works for
the Browns and handles
most of the sales; with no
family members interested,
Nate hopes she will some-
day take over the business.
But Brown isnt planning
to retire any time soon.
I probably enjoy this
more now than ever, he
said. I keepchanging; I still
find my niches.

ON MUTE
Stock investors around the world are trading less often given the
worries about Europes debt crisis and a faltering global economy.
The total value of shares traded on global exchanges fell 14 percent
in the first half of 2012 from a year earlier, according to the World
Federation of Exchanges.
Investors from the
Americas to Europe to Asia
are sitting on their hands.
The exceptions have been
Africa and the Middle East,
where trading value jumped
52 percent. These markets
are smaller and more
volatile but have also seen
strong returns. Kenyan
stocks, for example, are up
33 percent in 2012 through
Monday amid lower
inflation.
STILL HUNTING
The Dogs of the Dow is an old investing strategy with the benefit of being sim-
ple: At the end of each year, buy the 10 highest-yielding stocks in the Dow
Jones industrial average. Then, hold them for a year. The thinking is that all
stocks in the Dow
are high-quality blue
chips, even ones
that have struggled
recently. Stocks with
high dividend yields
either have large
dividends or low
stock prices. The
Dogs strategy was a
winner in 2011 and
2012, and it is again
so far this year. The
Dogs are up an av-
erage of 6.7 percent
through Tuesday.

GREAT WALL OF WORRY
Europes debt crisis is still the top worry for professional in-
vestors, but Chinas economic slowdown is catching up. So
says a Credit Suisse survey of more than 600 money man-
agers, hedge funds and other pros around the world. In May,
just 1 percent of respondents said that they saw Chinas
economy as the top
risk to the economy.
But reports coming
out of China have
since become
worse: It s econo-
my grew 7.6 percent
last quarter, the
slowest pace since
2009. Now, 24 per-
cent of respondents
say China is the
most significant
global risk. Source: FactSet; data through July 24

Investors are worried about every-
thing from slowing U.S. job growth
to Europes debt crisis to Chinas
economic slowdown. Simon Hallett
says the worries are real but that
there are still high-quality stocks to
be found within global markets,
like Nestle in Switzerland or Fa-
nuc, a robotics company in Japan.
Is all the gloom warranted?
Yes, I think its warranted. The Chi-
na thing, I think, is deeply worrying
because China is still misper-
ceived. There seems to be this
great belief that, well, they have
managed the economy so well for
the last 30 years that they will be
able to manage through a slow-
down.
I think were coming to an end
of this period of extraordinary
growth in China, and we will be
transitioning to a period of more
modest growth. That probably
means greater consumption at the
expense of investment, which is a
good thing. But I dont quite under-
stand how the transition gets man-
aged.
These brilliant leaders who can
supposedly fine-tune the Chinese
economy have said they want an
economy driven by consumption.
But fixed investment has gone up,
and consumption as a percentage
of GDP has gone down, so theyre
not getting what they want. I think
the transition could be ugly.
So what looks good?
Were very strongly biased in favor
of high-quality, fundamentally
growing companies. By growing, I
mean companies that can grow
their earnings in relatively predict-
able ways over very long periods
of times. Weve been going for 23
years, and weve got one stock
weve owned over those 23 years:
Nestle. Were constantly trying to
buy those kinds of companies.
It must be difficult to find stocks
in emerging markets with long
track records.
Its harder to find them, but not for
the reasons you expect. In India,
Hindustan Unilever has a history
going back many decades, going
back to the Raj. But those compa-
nies with very long track records
are the incumbents. And emerging
economies tend to do better at
times when deregulation happens,
which usually is at the expense of
incumbents. Like Hindustan Uni-
lever, their basic advantage was
that the market was closed to for-
eign competition. Nobody else was
allowed to make shampoo. As
soon as that market opened, that
was a glorious thing for the Indian
consumer, the Indian economy, but
it hurts the incumbent.
This is the problem we have
finding these things in emerging
markets. Plus, because theyre dif-
ficult to find, they tend to be highly
priced. They have much higher
price-earnings ratios, whereas
Nestle or Unilever or LOreal trade
at fairly modest valuations.

The stronger dollar cost
IBM $1 billion last quarter.
It was set to report its
11th straight quarter of
revenue growth: If
currency exchange rates
were the same as a year
ago, IBM would have
announced a 1 percent
rise. But the euros free fall
means European sales
were worth less when
converted to dollars. IBM
reported a 3 percent
decline to $25.8 billion.
The impact of unfavor-
able exchange rates has
led more companies than
usual to report second-quarter
revenue below financial analysts
expectations. McDonalds, which
does two-thirds of its business
overseas, said revenue would have been up 5 percent
if not for currency valuations. Revenue was roughly flat,
at $6.9 billion. Johnson & Johnson and Honeywell both
cut their earnings forecasts, in part because of the
stronger dollar.
So far, the revenue
shortfalls havent filtered
down to earnings at least
compared with analysts
expectations. This earnings
season, 68 percent of
companies in the Standard
& Poors 500 index have
topped earnings expecta-
tions, compared with 69
percent last quarter. But
David James, a portfolio
manager with James
Investment Management,
says this disparity will
eventually be realized in an
unbecoming manner.
Analysts now expect S&P
500 earnings to grow 7 percent
this year, down from 10 percent at
the start of the year, partly due to
the dollars rise. And they say the dollar will keep rising.
Credit Suisse analysts say the euro will convert to just
$1.17 in three months, down from $1.23 today and
$1.44 a year ago.

Dividend payers keep leading the market.
Consider the stocks in the Standard & Poors 500 index:
Those that pay dividends returned 2.2 percent during the
first six months of 2012. Those that dont fell an average of
0.3 percent.
Dividends look even more attractive when compared
with plummeting bond yields. The yield on a 10-year Trea-
sury last week fell to a record low below 1.4 percent, down
from 3 percent a year ago.
When looking for dividend-payers, financial analysts sug-
gest looking not just at yields. Dividend growth, plus the ca-
pability to keep paying the dividend, are also important.
This screen from Deutsche Bank shows stocks that have
been increasing their payouts.
Each also pays out less than 30 percent of its net in-
come as dividends, which gives them the financial flexibil-
ity to continue the payouts. S&P 500 companies paid out
an average of 31 percent of their net income as dividends
in the first quarter of 2012, the most recent data available.

New record for 30-yr mortgage
The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell
to 3.49 percent last week from 3.53 percent, ac-
cording to Freddie Mac. Its the 13th time in the
last 14 weeks that it has dropped to or matched a
record low. And its the first time the rate is below
3.50 percent on records dating back 60 years.
Low Treasury yields have helped to pull down
fixed-rate mortgages.

VIEWS S E C T I O N E

THIS ONE is for Mike.
He is a Houston
reader who shot me an
email after my recent
column equating the
GOP push for voter ID
laws with voter sup-
pression. I agreed with
Attorney General Eric Holder who
called that a modern-day poll tax. Mike
did not.
You have to have an ID to write a
check, he wrote, use a credit card and
most other things in life. Saying poor
blacks cannot easily get IDs is ridicu-
lous. .?.?. Comparing this to the poll
tax? Cmon, be serious.
Actually, I am. Not that I dont get
why Mikes argument sounds reason-
able to Mike and to many others who
made it. But let us consider it more
closely.
First off, Ive never made the claim
Mike attributes to me, i.e., that poor
blacks cannot get IDs. No, my point is
that when you dont have a checking
account, a credit card or a car, it is less
likely you already will have ID.
The name of the game, remember, is
not voter prevention, but voter suppres-
sion, i.e., bringing down the numbers.
In the last presidential election, only 63
percent of eligible voters voted and
that was the best showing in 48 years.
Clearly, Americans are not overly enthu-
siastic about performing this civic duty
as it is.
So, if you can add a layer of difficulty
to it that requires some voters to catch a
bus down to some office, fill out forms
and wait in line to get a card for which
they will otherwise have zero use, is it
so hard to imagine that some wont
bother and that there will be enough
of them to make a difference in a close
race?
Remember: demographic trends do
not favor the Republican Party. As the
Center for the Study of the American
Electorate observed in a 2008 report,
the GOP is either out of contention or
seeing an erosion of support in New
England, the mid-Atlantic, the West, the
mountain states, the industrial Midwest
and even parts of the South. With its
growing Latino population, even Texas
might be lost to the party before too
many years. Within the next few dec-
ades, says the report, white Amer-
icans, the only demographic sub-group
from which the GOP draws significant
numbers of voters, will be in the minor-
ity.
So, while the party posits these laws
as a way of fighting voter fraud a
nearly nonexistent problem it takes
little imagination to divine a more sinis-
ter intent. Sometimes, you dont need
imagination at all.
As in Michigan GOP lawmaker John
Pappageorges 2004 observation that his
party needed to suppress the Detroit
vote to have any hope of electoral
success. Detroit is 82 percent black.
And let us not forget Pennsylvanias
Republican state Rep. Mike Turzai, who
recently crowed how the states voter ID
law would ensure victory for Mitt Rom-
ney.
Sorry, but there can be little doubt
that suppression is a key goal of this
shrinking party.
But what if, instead of suppressing
votes, we broaden the electorate? Curtis
Gans, director of the aforementioned
CSAE, believes the United States
should adopt Mexicos system, wherein
the government automatically issues
every citizen a biometric ID card.
Such a card, encoded with your per-
sonal information and with safeguards
to protect your privacy would elim-
inate whatever little voter registration
fraud there is. There would be no fraud
because there would be no registration.
Every eligible citizen would simply
swipe her card and vote.
And the GOP would have to make its
case before America in the fullness of its
diversity, an electorate not whittled
down by artificial barriers designed to
give one party an advantage over anoth-
er. Surely thats something theyd want,
right?
Cmon, be serious.

WHENIT comes to
over-the-top politics,
the Obama campaign
has set a newstandard
with recent attempts to
paint Mitt Romney as a
felon.
This clever and
utterly false allegation was advanced
more than once by Stephanie Cutter,
President Obamas deputy campaign
manager.
During several days of media rounds
that included some tough challenges
Felon?! Cutter variously stuck to her
guns, softened a bit and, finally, under
relentless pressure, retracted the com-
ment or at least the felony insinuation.
But the fact that the campaign advanced
the notion in the first place is revealing.
Trying to define Romney in some crimi-
nal light was obviously a strategy and, not
to leap to conclusions, suggests both
desperation and a lack of any substantive
criticism.
Heres howCutter justified the original
innuendo on MSNBCs Morning Joe
when co-host Mika Brzezinski pressed
her on her use of the term. If Romney
misrepresented himself on his Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings
related to his tenure at Bain Capital, then
he would have committed a crime, she
said.
Sheesh. If/then: What a basis for defa-
mation and slander. Applying that calcu-
lus, were all guilty of somebodys random
supposition. But all is fair in love and
politics, right? Or dont facts matter just a
little bit?
Extending fairness where none is ap-
parently appreciated, there were a couple
of facts that might have given one pause
about Romneys relationship to Bain
Capital after he left in1999 to reorganize
the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
His name still did appear as head of Bain
on paperwork between1999 and 2002,
according to The Washington Post, which
could cast doubt on his assertions that he
had no managerial role at Bain after 1999.
But all one has to do is ask, and many
did, and the answer was not confusing.
Romney was still a passive, limited
partner with no management capacity,
according to a 2002 statement he filed
with the Massachusetts State Ethics
Commission. But his partners ran the
company after Romney left rather hasti-
ly to save the Olympics. Romneys
name was first floated by the Olympic
committee on Feb. 2 and he accepted the
challenge on Feb. 11. Nine days is hardly
enough time to pack a toothbrush, much
less push the paperwork necessary to
hand over a multibillion-dollar business.
The purpose of the Obama campaigns
allegation was to paint Romney as that
modern scourge an uncaring corporate
suit who outsources jobs and lays off
workers. It is true that Bain worked with
some companies that outsourced jobs to
other countries that most common of
business practices conceived not only to
enhance profits but also to feed Amer-
icans insatiable appetite for cheap goods.
But all of it occurred after Romneys
tenure.
Of course, the real purpose of the
charge was to portray Romney as dis-
honest. This is what businessmen would
call a hard sell, not least because Rom-
neys assertions have been verified by
independent sources, including The
Washington Post. In May, the papers Fact
Checker wrote:
Weve gone over this problem with the
Obama campaign before, awarding three
Pinocchios to a January memo the team
released blaming Romney for job losses
and bad deals that took place after the
former executive had stopped working for
Bain. ... These facts essentially exonerate
Romney from allegations that he was
responsible for any outsourcing, bad deals
and layoffs that occurred with Bains
companies in the early 2000s.
Thus, the Obama campaign knewthat
what they were saying was false but
proceeded to try to plant the felon idea,
anyway.
Fair play? Dishonest? Lazy? Or just
plain desperate to grab any twig as Rom-
ney inches up in the polls? Its a shame
that Cutter, a smart, talented woman, was
drafted for such a dastardly role. Negative
ads are one thing; slander quite another.

HICAGO - In 2008, Ma-
ria Sanchez was a full-
time student at Harper
College when the bot-
tom dropped out of the
economy and her world. Her par-
ents lost their jobs, forcing the
freshman to quit school to sup-
port her family.
In 1933, in the midst of the Depres-
sion, Norma Anderhous was just 8 when
her fathers hours were cut back and her
momhad to find work, leaving her alone
to look after her younger sister in their
West Side apartment.
Sanchez andAnderhous are separated
in age by 60-plus years, but both have
been profoundly shaped by their experi-
ences duringtimes of financial upheaval.
You dont forget, said Anderhous,
nowinher mid-80s. Youmaynot realize
it at the time, but those memories stick
with you.
A soul-searching election year is un-
folding amid a historic recalibration of
expectations among every generation of
Americans. As Europeans are being
gripped by dream-crushing austerity,
hopes are also being downsized here in
ways not seen since the Great Depres-
sion, defining the national mood.
For the fifth consecutive year, newly
minted college graduates face a weak la-
bor market and a painfully slow recov-
ery. Many young adults who have found
work are languishing in low-paying, no-
benefit jobs that dont require degrees.
Some still live with their parents and are
saddled with debt, delaying full-fledged
adulthood indefinitely.
The Depressions impact on a gener-
ationof Americans has beenstudiedand
analyzed for decades, but howthe reces-
sion and its aftermath will influence the
attitudes of todays young adults over
the long haul is just beginning to draw
the attention of social scientists.
Some researchers think 20-some-
things raised in the prosperity of the
1990s will emerge unscathed. Others say
they will share a bond with their great-
grandparents, who were defined by the
Depression, leaving many averse to risk
and famously frugal.
In both eras, the U.S. had enjoyed a
run of unparalleled affluence. In 1929,
the stock market crash brought heady
times toanabrupt end; in2008, theburst
of the housing bubble and subsequent
bankingcollapseplungedthecountryin-
to a downward spiral.
This is not a minor blip, said Carl
Van Horn, a professor of public policy
and director of the Heldrich Center for
MCT PHOTOS

Plaines, Ill., on July 8.
Young adults, Depression-era seniors
reflect on financial blows
It was hard. I really liked school. But if I didnt
bring in some money, wed lose our house.
Maria Sanchez
Maria dropped out of school to help support the family when both parents lost
their jobs but she plans on returning to school soon
I would love to have my own place. But my parents
have told me that as long as I cut the grass in the
summer and shovel snow in the winter, I can stay.
Nick Gaseor
He graduated in May with a bachelors degree from the University of Illinois at
Chicago and is upbeat about his prospects, despite living with his parents
I think a lot of us are going the route where were
trying to be more fulfilled.

Workforce Development at
Rutgers University. It will have
huge definingeconomic andpsy-
chological impact on (young
adults) for years to come.
While the national jobless rate
hovers at 8.2 percent, the rate is
8.5 percent for those younger
than 25 with a college degree. A
recent Rutgers survey of 444 col-
lege graduates from the classes
of 2006to2011foundthat only51
percent had full-time employ-
ment. The rest were in school,
had part-time jobs or were out of
the labor force entirely.
Those employed before 2007
with a bachelors degree earned
about $30,000 a year, while
those who graduated in 08 or
later received about $27,000 an-
nually - a decline of about 10 per-
cent.
The lag can last a decade or
longer, amounting to about one-
quarter of the arc of a career, Van
Horn said. Depressed salaries
translate to reduced savings and
less disposable income to invest,
buy a home or build a nest egg,
always playing catch-up to peers
with better timing. The effects
can linger all the way to retire-
ment if young adults are unable
to save early in their careers.
Thesnapshot is evengloomier
for those without a college diplo-
ma.
GlenElder, a sociologist at the
University of North Carolina
who has studied young adults
who came of age from 1929 to
1939, sees many similarities
with their 21st century counter-
parts: the economic expansion,
the sudden contraction, the
stubborn unemployment.
Despite the iconic images of
bread lines and migrants, not all
Depression-era families were af-
fected equally, he explained.
There was not just one story,
but many stories, depending on
your age, gender and circum-
stances, said Elder, author of
Children of the Great Depres-
sion, which is providing a base-
line for scholars to examine to-
days narratives.
Then, as now, those in the
middle class were more insulat-
ed from the worst ravages of the
new financial realities, while
those on the lowest rungs of the
ladder - without savings, educa-
tion and social networks - were
the hardest hit.
That would certainly describe
Sanchez, 23, of Des Plaines, Ill.
She was pursuing an associates
degree in business when nation-
al headlines turned personal. In
March 2008, the cafeteria that
employed her dad shut down.
Five months later, her mom, too,
was pink-slipped fromher manu-
facturing job.
At first, her parents trimmed
the obvious expenses: Internet,
cable, dining out. But when no
more fat remained in the family
budget, they turned to their
daughter.
It was hard. I really liked
school, said Sanchez, who has
three younger siblings. But if I
didnt bringinsome money, wed
lose our house.
Sanchez went to work, first
making metal parts for $9 an
hour, 45 hours a week, thenmov-
ing to the office of a plastic bag
company. I told my parents,
You supported me for 18 years,
so now its my turn.
After a four-year hiatus, San-
chez finally plans to return to
Harper next month, thanks to a
scholarship, and she aims to be
the first inher family tograduate
from college. But the recent
struggles have left an indelible
imprint - for instance, this time
around, shes opting to keep her
full-time job and enroll in eve-
ning classes.
Also, shes more prudent with
her money, rarely going to mo-
vies, the mall or Six Flags - all
regular diversions in her pre-re-
cession life. I know if this hap-
pened once, it could happen
again.
That skittishness was echoed
by many elderly Chicago-area
residents, recalling adversity
with perfect clarity. Many con-
fessed to having a complicated
relationship with money, look-
ing back on their lives and re-
gretting their inability to spend
on vacations or other indulgenc-
es. Tales of diluting dishwashing
liquid or shampoo with water to
make it last longer, stooping to
pick up a penny on the sidewalk
and smoothing out gift wrap or
tinfoil were common, remaining
longafter the hardshipof the De-
pression passed.
Bernice Davis, 91, remem-
bered moving from Milwaukee
at age 9, when her father lost his
jewelry business.
And her husbands own expe-
riences played out as a lifelong
distaste for credit and living be-
yond ones means.
Hed say, If you have money,
you can buy it. If not, forget it,
said Davis, a Lincolnwood wid-
ow.
Anderhous understands the
impact of such calamities. Her
father was a furrier during the
Depression, and her family had
totake ina boarder tomake ends
meet. Later, her mom went to
work, thrustingthe 8-year-oldin-
to the role of early caregiver to
her 6-year-old sister.
We wanted our mother home
with us, Anderhous said.
For girls, the importance of
family and household emerged
from the Depression as one of
the strongest ideals, while for
boys, it was their role as bread-
winner, Elder said.
Its all very much connected
to economic deprivation, he
said, adding that it will take
about a decade before research-
ers can fully measure the most
enduring effects of the reces-
sion.
Today, were inthe midst of an-
other period of redefining of
our value system, said Alex
Chernev, an associate professor
of marketing at Northwestern
Universitys Kellogg School of
Management.
Ten years ago, everyone was
an aspiring tech entrepreneur,
hoping to launch a startup and
sell to a venture capital firm for
millions, he said. But his current
crop of students is showing
much more interest in the non-
profit world. Its less about mon-
ey and more about self-expres-
sion, Chernev said.
In the absence of a robust pay-
check, Kathryn OMalley is cer-
tainly concentrating on passion,
not profession.
After getting a bachelors de-
gree in psychology in 2009 from
Washington University in St.
Louis, the 26-year-oldfoundonly
dead ends. So, she stopped look-
ing for full-time employment,
jettisoned graduate school and
zeroed in on her real love: food.
She runs dramaticpancake-
.com, a blog featuring great
cooks and mouthwatering reci-
pes and attracting 25,000 unique
visitors a month.
My momwas really skeptical.
Her generation sees school and
degrees as the one avenue tosuc-
cess, OMalley said. Im not
sure I see it that way. I think a lot
of us are going the route where
were tryingtobe more fulfilled.
Nick Gaseor, 21, who gradu-
ated in May with a bachelors de-
gree from the University of Illi-
nois at Chicago, is upbeat about
his prospects, despite livingwith
his parents in Norridge and cad-
dying at Ridgemoor Country
Club - the same job hes held
since high school.
What makes his situation
more tolerable is that many of
his friends are in the same boat -
in jobs, not careers, and back in
their old bedrooms. Gaseor said
theyre careful about money, es-
pecially when it comes to gas
and driving and unnecessary
expenditures. Ive had the same
wardrobe since high school, he
noted dryly.
Even so, Gaseor has few com-
plaints. He said hes confident
his situation is temporary, that
hell get a real job and use his
political science degree down
the road, and no one is threaten-
ing eviction.
I would love to have my own
place, he said. But my parents
have told me that as long as I cut
the grass in the summer and
shovel snow in the winter, I can
stay.

WASHINGTON -- Second
Amendment rights to carry fire-
arms are cherished by most gun
owners, a new poll finds - no sur-
prise there. But the same poll says
a sizable majority of those same
gun owners, even members of the
National Rifle Association, also
stronglysupport somegun-control
measures.
The poll, done for Mayors
Against Illegal Guns, foundthat 76
percent of gun owners think peo-
ple on the terrorist watch list
should be barred from buying
guns, and 68 percent were in favor
of measures requiring gun owners
totell policeif their guns arelost or
stolen. TheNRAhas opposedsuch
measures.
The May survey by Republican
pollster Frank Luntz surveyed 945
gun owners nationwide, half of
themcurrent or lapsed members
of theNRA. It has amarginof error
of plus or minus three points.
An NRA spokesman did not im-
mediately return a request for
comment.
Gun owners and NRA mem-
bers overwhelmingly support
commonsense steps to keep guns
out of the hands of criminals, even
as the NRA leadership continues
to oppose them, said New York
Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Since
the mass shooting in Aurora, Co-
lo., Bloomberg has been pressing
tomake guncontrol anissue inthe
presidential campaign.
The poll also found that 82 per-
cent of gun owners think anyone
purchasing a gun should get a
criminal background check. And
80 percent of the sample believed
that concealed carry permits
should only be granted to appli-
cants who have completed gun
safety training.
Other polls in recent years have
found that support for gun control
measures has steadily been drop-
ping nationwide. But Lowell Bak-
er, president of Luntz Global, said
Tuesday he believes other surveys
incorrectly framed the debate, by
asking whether gun rights were
more important thanguncontrols.
Its not an either/or choice, he
said, at a news conference spon-
sored by the Center for American
Progress. What theyre trying to
tell us is they understandthat with
these rights come responsibili-
ties.

Editorial
There is a feeling that ...
families can quarrel bitterly in
private, but should anyone from
the outside have a go, the family
is united. In other words: Mind
your own business.
David Winnick
The British lawmaker and many Londoners, including some who had
been critical of last-minute preparations for the Olympic Games,
winced last week when visiting U.S. presidential contender Mitt
Romney suggested the citys logistical problems were disconcerting.
WE WERE coming out of a
movie theater. There were
four of us. This was Thurs-
day, just about midnight.
Hey, we could go see the
Batman premiere, one of us
said.
We looked at one another. It was tempting
to be so spontaneous, to act so young, to
stay out late and be among the first to see this
hot new film.
Nah ... I cant stay up.
Why go and fall asleep?
Well see it next week.
We drove home, feeling old.
We awoke the next morning, feeling lucky.
Twelve people dead. Fifty-eight wounded. A
gunman spraying bullets as the movie played
on, then later allegedly telling police he was
the Joker. You wonder how many people
outside the Aurora, Colo., theater that night
were just like us in Michigan, only instead of
saying, Nah they said, Yeah, lets go in.
Are any of them dead today? Or carrying
fragments of bullets in their bodies?
What do you say after an event like this? Do
you say its the guns? Its the violence? Its
society?
It is the guns, but not just the guns. It is the
violence, but not just the violence. It is socie-
ty, but not just society.
Its the person.
And its always the person.
Look, you can fill the streets with weapons;
I still wont pick up one. You can show me a
marathon of violent films; I still wont want to
act them out. Something likely snapped inside
the mind of the suspect, James Holmes as it
likely did for an immigrant who shot and
killed13 others in Binghamton, N.Y., in 2009,
or a former student at Northern Illinois Uni-
versity who shot and killed five others in
2008, or the Virginia Tech murderer who
killed 32 people and then himself in 2007, the
deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. histo-
ry.
And when a mind snaps evil, thats when
easy gun availability becomes a factor; thats
when violent images might fuel the imag-
ination; thats when an alienating society
might fan the murderous flames.
But initially we knew very little about what
motivated the Colorado shooter except what
was slapped against the wall by a frantic
media. We only knew that he purchased his
guns legally, hed never had anything worse
than a speeding ticket, and on paper, anyhow,
he was an unlikely killer, a doctoral student in
neuroscience.
People always say, We should have seen
this coming. But if your first bad act is going
to be a mass murder, Im not sure anyone can
see it coming.
And the truth is, nobody knows anybody.
I do know this. Like many of you, I grow
increasingly depressed by the randomness of
it all and by survivors who make you heave
with sadness, like the 19-year-old woman
named Salina Jordan who told a Denver news
camera, You hear the alarm go off, it says,
Murder in the theater. Its just going off:
Murder in the theater! Murder in the theater!
Its crazy that they got an alarm saying there
was a murder in the theater.
Crazy?
Thats a good word for all of this.
On the day of the shootings, I spoke with a
Denver news anchor who was covering this
story, as she had covered the Columbine High
School shooting 13 years ago. She said she
was trembling. Shes a mother of three, and
she lamented that now we have to worry
about going into a movie theater.
But the fact is, we always had to worry
about going into a movie theater. Its a dark
place with few exits and lots of people.
But the same can be said of a church. A
crowded mall. A concert hall. A train station.
Should we never go to those?
You always have to worry, but its not the
places you have to worry about. Its the shoo-
ters. They can strike anywhere.
While it might be true that guns dont kill
people, people kill people, a person with an
assault rifle can do a lot more killing than a
person without one.
Its a clich when this happens, but its
nonetheless true, that you never know how
many moments you are given in this world,
and you never know which decisions like
going home instead of going in might save
your life.
You only know that when you wake up in
the morning, safe and with your loved ones,
you should count the hour as lucky, and keep
your eyes open as the day goes on.
Its the person, not the place, we need to worry about

COMMENTARY
M I T C H A L B O M
AN EVENING with expe-
rienced and savvy politi-
cal operatives last week in
central Pennsylvania out-
side Harrisburg was both
illuminating and long
overdue.
Our conversation ran the gamut from
the presidential race nationally and in
Pennsylvania specifically to state legis-
lative contests and the makeup of our
congressional delegation in January. The
time flew by. Sitting poolside we talked
for hours as the sun fell low in the wood-
ed sky and someone thought to bring out
the bug spray.
It was Monday evening; U.S. Sen. Bob
Casey Jr. had been the guest speaker at
Pennsylvanias Press Club luncheon at the
Hilton Hotel in downtown Harrisburg
hosted by the state capital press corps
and John Baer of the Philadelphia Daily
News in particular.
Caseys 25-minute presentation was
followed by 26 minutes of questions on a
wide range of topics from the U.S. econo-
my to ObamaCare, the NCAA penalties
against Penn State to extending the Bush
tax cuts for the middle class, and one
asking if the U.S. Olympic Committee
might use Pennsylvania alpaca wool when
fashioning uniforms for Team USA at the
2014 Winter Games.
Speaking of 2014, it was the final ques-
tion that received the most follow-up as
the Press Club luncheon adjourned until
next month and reporters gathered
around Casey as he left the dais.
Someone asked the senator, Who do
you think is your partys best candidate
for governor in two years, and have you
considered a run for governor in 2014?
Another wanted to know, If you are
re-elected this year to the Senate, would
you pledge to serve out the entire six
years of your second term?
The news those questions generated
occupied a good chunk of my evening
with the time-tested operatives as we
generously applied the OFF! to wrists,
ankles and neck.
Casey was loath to talk about future
contests, having been a candidate in 11
statewide elections (primaries and gener-
al elections) since his initial 1996 cam-
paign for auditor general.
He explained that he enjoys his work in
the Senate and stated that if re-elected,
he would serve the entire six-year Senate
term.
More than Caseys answer, it was the
reporters questions that interested the
political operatives. It confirmed their
belief that Pennsylvanias senior senator
would be a shoo-in if he entered the 2014
race for governor.
But why would a fast-rising, two-term
senator serving on major committees,
whose party maintains the Senate major-
ity and is confidently anticipating the
re-election of his friend and point guard,
the president of the United States, think
for a moment he could do more as gover-
nor? He wouldnt. He doesnt.
So what Democrat might run for gover-
nor, I asked. The operatives replied: busi-
nessman Chris Heinz.
Christopher Heinz is the youngest son
of Teresa Heinz Kerry and the late U.S.
Sen. John Heinz, and a stepson of former
Democratic presidential nominee U.S.
Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. It was
during Kerrys 2004 race for the presi-
dency that Chris Heinz campaigned ac-
tively for his stepfather and favorably
impressed numerous Democratic audi-
ences.
A successful businessman, Heinz is a
1995 graduate of Yale University and re-
ceived his MBA from the Harvard Busi-
ness School. A founding partner of Rose-
mont Capital, a New York-based, private-
equity investment firm, he has often been
mentioned as a possible congressional
candidate from the familys home base in
western Pennsylvania.
It remains to be seen if Heinz has a
serious interest in the 2014 race for gover-
nor. But more than one influential Penn-
sylvania Democrat believes he might.
A dynamic, 41-year-old business exec-
utive with a vision to turn around Penn-
sylvanias ailing economy and the training
to know how, coupled with instant name
recognition and the resources to spread
his message; thats a compelling candi-
date profile capable of keeping Repub-
licans up at night throughout the 2014
Olympic Winter Games from Sochi, Rus-
sia.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
P
ENNSYLVANIA legis-
lators have been
warned. They must do
something about the
rising obligation of the public
employees pensionprogramor
face long-termfiscal instability.
Moodys Investor Service
downgraded Pennsylvanias
debt rating to Aa2 from Aa1,
putting the state among the
least creditworthy of the 47
states that have general obliga-
tion debts. The downgrade re-
flects the commonwealths
high debt position, related to
moderate bonded debt levels
and a sizeable unfunded pen-
sion liability, Moodys said.
The Morning Call in Allen-
town reported that Pennsylva-
nias public pensionwas funded
at 75 percent in 2010, which is
less than the recommended 80
percent but greater thansimilar
reserves in at least half the oth-
er states in the country.
The problem, however, is
that the gap between what the
commonwealthhas andits pen-
sion obligation $29 billion
two years ago likely will grow
rapidly thanks in part to two
factors: the type of pension pro-
gram public employees receive
and a substantial boost in that
program that was granted in
2001.
Eleven years ago, when the
economy was booming and the
retirement fund was growing
faster thanits obligations, legis-
lators granted most public em-
ployees a 25percent increase in
their defined-benefits pension
plan. This was done without a
thought of how to pay for it
when the economy slowed and
investment income was unable
to keep ahead of obligations.
As a result more taxpayer
dollars have had to be diverted
to keep the fundsolvent. Infact
the largest line-itemincrease in
the2012-13statebudget was for
pensions: $856 million, a 43
percent jump from the 2011-12
spending guide.
The Pennsylvania Constitu-
tion prohibits any change that
would cut benefits for current
employees or retirees. But it
has no prohibition on altering
the way retirement accounts
for future employees are ac-
crued.
The sooner the change is ac-
complishedthe better the fiscal
shape of the commonwealth.

Property tax bill
needs support
M
any of you worked years
to enjoy your retirement
the so-called golden
years. You paid your taxes
(income and property), Social
Security, Medicare and made
contributions to your retire-
ment.
Your federal, state and coun-
ty elected officials are plan-
ning to take it away.
Now what are you going to
do to protect it? You must get
involved.
Congress wants to privatize
Social Security and health
care, give tax breaks to the 1
percent and allow big corpo-
rations to avoid taxes, all at
taxpayers expense.
What is happening in your
state and local communities?
Property taxes constantly are
increasing. We voted for casi-
no gambling with revenues to
be used for property tax relief.
What did you receive? A Pit-
tance.
How many of you who own
homes, especially you retirees
who live on a limited income,
find it hard to pay your prop-
erty taxes?
State House Bill 1776 the
property tax elimination bill
was introduced with more
than 60 co-sponsors, Repub-
licans and Democrats.
The House Finance Com-
mittee voted 13 to 11 to table
it. What does that tell you?
They are not listening to we
the people.
Retirees, get involved. Sup-
port your organization and
attend meetings. If you dont,
you stand a good chance of
losing your home and bene-
fits.
Contact your elected state
officials on HB1776/ SB1400.
Do it today!
Tell them to put the bill
back on the table.

Pashinskis view
I
have no admiration or re-
spect for Gov. Tom Corbett
and the Republican-con-
trolled legislature after they
passed the bill cancelling the
Department of Public Wel-
fares General Assistance pro-
gram, the only source of in-
come for thousands of people.
Ill be waiting to see if they
cancel their automatic pay
raises. Anyone want to wager?
However, with all due re-
spect to state Rep. Eddie Day
Pashinski, who I admire and
respect, especially for his
work on the Aging and Adult
Services Committee, he is
wrong about the voter ID law.
(See commentary, July 16).
Not wrong about the GOP-
controlled Legislature, or Gov.
Corbetts main reasons for the
law, to garner more GOP
votes, but wrong that the law
is an undue hardship for se-
niors, young adults, people
with disabilities and the work-
ing poor. Baloney. Im 76,
poor, partially disabled, and I
had no problem obtaining a
photo ID or legally changing
my address when I moved.
There are a number of orga-
nizations ready, willing and
able to help people get a photo
ID and register, legally, to
vote.
If Rep. Pashinski really
believes that voter fraud is not
taking place, then I have a
bridge I would like to sell him.
I was born and raised in Lack-
awanna County. It was, and
most likely still is, absolutely
amazing how many dead
people rise from the grave to
cast their votes on Election
Day. If you want an honest
election, which Rep. Pashinski
says he does, then the voting
rolls have to be purged of the
deceased and illegal.

Curtail fireworks,
support the needy
A
mericans have sadly fallen
into a pathetic state of
self-indulgence without
regard to those responsib-
ilities we have to humanity as
a whole.
That self-indulgence is dem-
onstrated quite visually and
audibly on the likes of holi-
days such as the Fourth of
July, which we celebrated only
weeks ago. America spends
close to a billion dollars on
fireworks annually. These
displays amount to our dollar
bills being destroyed right
before our very eyes, and we
end up saying: Wow! Nice!
Isnt it high time America
grew up to its stewardship
responsibility of curtailing this
ridiculous expenditure of
resources and redirecting
those monies to the more
important purpose of improv-
ing the standard of human
life? Im not recommending
the banning of fireworks. I am
suggesting that we start be-
coming responsible in our
governments, and our person-
al lives, not to be spending
money on something to which
there is absolutely no lasting
value.
We have people in America
who are hungry. We have
people who are sick without
the ability to pay for health
care. We have elderly needing
to make the decision between
renewing their needed pre-
scriptions or eating. Yet we
say wow! to the bombs
bursting in air.
U.S. Census data show that
the nation imported $201
million in fireworks from
China last year. China is
laughing all the way to the
World Bank as it watches
America blow up its citizens
money. The American Pyro-
technics Association trade
group in Bethesda, Md., states
that the United States spent
more than $600 million this
past July Fourth. Two thirds of
that is homegrown fireworks
displays and 14,000 organized
local displays. Thats one heck
of a lot of zeros.
This July bash is more cost-
ly for Americans than you
think, according to figures
from BIGresearch. Heres
some of our essential spend-
ing:
Beer $341.4 million
Soda $101 million
Chips $92 million
Charcoal $111.1 million
Lighter fluid $94.3 million
And America has the audac-
ity to ask God to bless us.
Really, and this is what we do
with his already abundant
blessings. Its high time to
re-think, America.
I challenge all Americans to
stop this preposterous waste
and start redirecting those
funds by writing checks to the
American Cancer Society,
breast cancer awareness
groups and various organiza-
tions whose sole purpose is to
better the human life given
each of us.
First, pledge to stop your
own senseless purchases of
these worthless displays.
Second, write, call or email
your local, county, state and
federal representatives, de-
manding our governments set
the precedent by doing the
same.

A generation
ago, it was
the three Is.
A presidential
challengers
obligatory
foreign trip
meant Ire-
land, Italy and Israel. Mitt
Romneys itinerary is slightly
different: Britain, Poland and
Israel.
Not quite the naked ethnic
appeal of yore. Each destina-
tion suggests a somewhat
more subtle affinity: Britain,
playing to our cultural connec-
tedness with the Downton
Abbey folks whove been at
our side in practically every
fight for the last hundred
years; Poland, representing the
new Europe, the Central
Europeans so unashamedly
pro-American; Israel, appeal-
ing to most American Jews
but also to an infinitely greater
number of passionately sym-
pathetic evangelical Chris-
tians.
Unlike Barack Obama, Rom-
ney abroad will not be ad-
monishing his country, crit-
icizing his president or declar-
ing himself a citizen of the
world. Indeed, Romney should
say nothing of substance, just
offer effusive expressions of
affection for his hosts and
avoid needless contretemps,
like his inexplicably dumb and
gratuitous critique of Britains
handling of the Olympic
Games. The whole point is to
show appreciation for close
allies, something the president
has conspicuously failed to do.
On the contrary. Obama
started his presidency by re-
turning to the British Embassy
the bust of Winston Churchill
that had graced the Oval Of-
fice. Then came the State
Department official who de-
nied the very existence of a
U.S.-British special relation-
ship.
To be topped off by the slap
they received over the Falk-
land Islands, an issue the Brits
had considered closed since
they repelled the Argentine
invasion there 30 years ago.
They were not amused by the
Obama administrations stud-
ied neutrality between Britain
and Argentina, with both a
State Department spokesman
and the president ostenta-
tiously employing Malvinas,
the politically charged Argen-
tine name, interchangeably
with Falklands.
As for Poland, it was
stunned by Obamas unilateral
cancellation of a missile de-
fense agreement signed with
the Bush 43 administration.
Having defied vociferous Rus-
sian threats, the Poles expect-
ed better treatment than to
wake up one morning the
70th anniversary of the Soviet
invasion of Poland, no less to
find themselves the victim of
Obamas reset policy of ac-
commodation with Russia. So
much for protection from
Russian bullying, something
they thought they finally had
gained with the end of the
Cold War.
And then there is Israel, the
most egregious example of
Obamas disregard for tradi-
tional allies. Obama came into
office explicitly intent on cre-
ating daylight between him-
self and Israel, believing that
by tilting toward the Arabs,
they would be more accommo-
dating.
The opposite happened.
(Surprise!) When Obama
insisted on a building freeze in
Jerusalem that no U.S. govern-
ment had ever demanded and
no Israeli government would
ever accept, the Palestinian
Authority saw clear to become
utterly recalcitrant. Palesti-
nian President Mahmoud
Abbas openly told The Wash-
ington Post that he would just
sit on his hands and wait for
America to deliver Israel.
In Israel, Romney will un-
doubtedly say nothing new.
Hell just reiterate his tough
talk on Irans nuclear program.
But I suspect hell let the Is-
raelis know privately that
contrary to the conventional
wisdom that his hawkishness
signals his readiness to attack
Iranian nuclear facilities, his
real intent is to signal that,
unlike Obama, he is truly
committed to permitting Is-
rael to do what it needs to
defend itself. This will be
welcome news to a nation that
has never asked anyone to
fight on its behalf, just a green
light to defend itself without
impediments or veiled threats
from its friends.
Most important, however, is
to just show up. Thats 80
percent of life, Woody Allen
once noted. No need to say
much. Romneys very presence
will make the statement.
To the Israelis: We under-
stand your unique plight. If
and when you do as you must,
we will stand by you. To the
Poles: You can count on the
American umbrella. I will
never leave you out in the
cold. And to the British: We
are grateful for your steadfast
solidarity in awful places such
as Iraq and Afghanistan. The
relationship truly is special.
And one more thing. Still
have that bust of Churchill?
Romney should avoid
Obamas errors abroad

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Don Carey and
words by Mark E. Jones
LUCKY MY
mother wasnt
around for
this. She
loved Joe
Paterno and
Penn State
football.
Once, while watching a
rain-soaked PSU-Michigan
game, I kidded her about the
aging Paterno. Thats got to
be a toupee, I said. Its pour-
ing rain and Joes hair is per-
fect.
My mom, nee Gloria Man-
ganiello, didnt take kindly to
the remark, angrily scolding
her first born. John, there are
many Italian men in their late
seventies with a full head of
black hair.
Moms love affair with Pa-
terno began in 1974 when he
recruited fellow Pittstonian
Jimmy Cefalo. Cefalo was a
record-setting running back
on the 1974 Pittston Area
team on which my brother,
Bill Watson, played center.
All you had to do was to hold
your block for a half-second,
my brother would say, and
Cefalo would be in the defen-
sive backfield.
Cef, as we called him, was
a great athlete. Even as kids it
was obvious that Cef had the
legs of a gazelle. He was un-
touchable in touch football.
Cef also was a remarkable
guy and a role model for what
became known as the Penn
State student-athlete. As one
of the most sought-after play-
ers in the country, Cefalo, as a
senior in high school, author-
ed a series on collegiate
recruiting tactics for the New
York Times. His love of jour-
nalism transcended his colle-
giate career and his years
with the Miami Dolphins, and
today he is a leading sports-
caster in Miami.
Cefalo gave a beautifully
written eulogy at Paternos
funeral. I am 55 years of age
and I met him when I was 17,
Cefalo said. And he still
guides me.
I attended PSU for one year
in 1974-75 when state funding
was the lions share (so to
speak) of the universitys
budget. It cost $238 per se-
mester, a middle-class kids
dream.
Today, most state schools
are not worthy of the name.
In Pennsylvania, they call
PSU a state-related school.
The administration of Repub-
lican Tom Corbett, in the
misguided mode of conserva-
tive governing, is weaning
PSU off public support and
toward privatization.
Nationally, states today
provide less than 10 percent
of the funding for state
schools, forcing them to raise
revenue through benefac-
tors and, of course, through
football revenue and higher
tuitions.
I was never a fan of the
largesse of college football,
especially in red states where
academics are secondary,
coaches are paid millions of
dollars and players are dis-
posable.
Paterno, however, was able
to maintain a higher ground,
placing academics at the fore-
front, which is why so many
Pennsylvanians were Penn
State proud. Paterno report-
edly donated much of his
salary back to the university
for at least the past decade.
I dont feel the need to
chime in about the Jerry
Sandusky debacle. Thats for
the courts to decide. Criminal
and civil actions will be pur-
sued under the rule of law,
where such things belong.
I do, however, take issue
with the NCAAs punitive
measures against the people
of Pennsylvania, who broke
no laws. The NCAA has crip-
pled the PSU football pro-
gram without a peep of pro-
test from Gov. Tom Corbett.
Maybe he should take a look
at his photo I.D. to see where
he lives.
The NCAA is the oligarchy
of collegiate sports and not
squeamish about paying its
executives huge sums of mon-
ey. NCAA President Mark
Emmert makes $1.6 million
per year.
Like much of Congress
today, the NCAA is a lap dog
for big money. Its board and
executives, like many corpo-
rations, form a round table of
self-interest.
Wouldnt it be nice if these
elites were as tough on bank-
ers and Wall Street crooks as
they are on future students?
The NCAAs action is public
relations, not justice. It is
clearly outside of its juris-
diction by penalizing PSU
over the crimes of one man
and a few alleged enablers.
The NCAA should regulate,
if anything, only play on the
field. It is not the arbiter of
criminal penalties outside of
its purview. There are courts
for that.
Without due process, the
NCAA has penalized, not
Jerry Sandusky, but the peo-
ple of Pennsylvania. And
thats a crime.
Two wrongs do not make a
right.
NCAAs pile on does not make things right

ENTERING adult-
hood used to be like
wading into a gently
sloping lake. You got
your feet wet with a
degree or job. Then
maybe you found an
apartment, and even-
tually a life partner. Soon, you were
swimming in deep water.
But today, it feels as though the
water gets deep fast. Young people
cant just splash around and find
themselves anymore. The world has
changed.
Work can disappear with little
warning. Skills grow obsolete fast.
Lifetime employment and corporate
loyalty are mostly things of the past.
Compared to two decades ago, the
average American worker puts in an
extra 164 hours per year on the job,
according to economist Juliet Schor.
And adjusted for inflation, middle-
class U.S. workers make less than they
did in 1971.
These pressures mean that anyone
who wants to have it all career,
family and leisure needs to look way
ahead. We parents would be wise to
talk through the choices very explicit-
ly with our children, especially the
majority who are likely to want both
work and kids.
We can explain the need for a sharp-
ly different perspective on career
planning. For example, a friend of
mine in her 20s who just got married
says that she and others her age wont
rely on working for an employer. The
long hours and lack of security arent
worth it. Her plan is to run her own
business and live frugally. Great idea;
I hope for her sake it works out.
Another option is to choose an
explicitly family-friendly career, some-
thing women have been doing for
ages a career with predictable hours
and even some job security. Men in-
creasingly are doing likewise; they
make up ever more of our nurses,
school teachers, bank tellers and food
servers.
Even for the most ambitious, there
are ways to craft a career that allows
for more family time. A study of near-
ly 1,000 women who graduated from
Harvard College between 1988 and
1991 showed that, 15 years after grad-
uation, the ones who became doctors
and lawyers had an easier time com-
bining work and family than did those
who later got an MBA. The doctors
and lawyers had shifted to part-time
work, opened their own practices
with like-minded colleagues or moved
into the nonprofit sector or govern-
ment work. The businesswomen, by
contrast, faced an either-or choice:
Put in grueling hours or quit.
Marissa Mayer, the new Yahoo chief
executive, is an example. Shes 37,
will give birth this fall, and plans a
few weeks of maternity leave during
which she will continue to work. But
if you want a different sort of work-
family balance for yourself, then per-
haps you shouldnt plan on following
in her footsteps.
Stories about families working
together to make hard choices are
encouraging. Austrian tennis player
Sybille Bammer, for example, had a
child at 21 and quit competing. She
went back to tennis after her life part-
ner, and the childs father, became her
coach, hitting partner and Mr. Mom.
For a while, they lived on $500 a
month.
Then theres Angela Braly, chief
executive of health benefits giant
WellPoint, whose husband left his
family business for a more flexible
schedule in real estate and teaching.
They have three children.
How do we discuss the complex-
ities of the modern balancing act
without blunting our kids ambitions?
I can hear them mocking us now:
Settle for the mommy track early,
dear, and save yourself a lot of angst.
But thats not the message.
On the contrary, whats important is
figuring out what you want and plan-
ning for it, precisely so you dont end
up sidetracked.
Couples considering a family
should talk openly about their expec-
tations, too. You know the old saying:
If you dont know where youre going,
youre sure to get there.
Tough choices for young adults include setting a path to the future

thanks legislators
R
ecently, state Senate Bill
866 was approved and
signed into law by Gov.
Tom Corbett. This legislation
covers grants for volunteer fire
and ambulance companies
along with career municipal
fire departments.
The fund of $30 million will
be used to help emergency
responders pay for equipment,
training and facility upgrades.
I thank state Sen. Lisa Bak-
er, for her leadership with the
Senate Veterans Affairs and
Emergency Preparedness
Committee, along with state
Sen. John Yudichak, state Rep.
Eddie Day Pashinski and all
who supported SB 866.

New Yankee boss
has old-time spirit
I
d like to introduce myself.
My name is Rob Crain and I
am the new president and
general manager of the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees.
I am ecstatic to be a part of
the Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia community. My wife Amy
and I have just purchased a
home and are anxious to meet
and speak with all of the won-
derful people in the area.
Our community has an
incredible opportunity in front
of it with the rebirth of PNC
Field. The new ballpark is
going to be the front porch
of the community, where
people can gather, meet with
friends and family, and most
important, have a memorable
time at the ol ball yard. Base-
ball is a unique game in that
multiple generations of our
community can come out,
have fun and create memories
that will last a lifetime.
Our front-office team is
committed to providing an
incredible fan experience at an
affordable price. In 2013, 60
percent of our daily tickets
will be available for $10 or
under, and if you purchase a
ticket package or come out
with a group, that number
jumps to 90 percent.
Our philosophy is to create
72 events at PNC Field that
will include theme nights,
food discount nights, chil-
drens events and other wacky
ideas we have yet to come up
with. Minor League Baseball
is about you, the fans, and we
cannot wait to provide the
supreme customer service you
deserve.
Thank you for being so
welcoming, and I look forward
to seeing you out at the ball-
park if not before at the local
coffee shop.
Go, Yankees!

President and general manager

Lets remember
Avondale victims
A
t 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 1 we
again will meet at Wash-
burn Cemetery in West
Scranton to remember the 61
men and boys who are in-
terred at Washburn after giv-
ing their lives at the Avondale
Mine disaster in Plymouth.
Others are laid to rest in other
parts of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania.
The lawns surrounding
their markers will be mowed,
and perhaps through our an-
nual remembrance Washburn
will no longer be neglected.
The Avondale men and boys
are a part of regional history.
They gave their lives so that
generations later we could live
better lives.
I ask all to come and be
with us on that day.

JoePa bigger than
his detractors
F
act: Jerry Sandusky is a
bad person. He molested
young boys. He was tried
and found guilty. He is gone.
He is in jail where he belongs.
We should do whatever we
can for the well-being of those
young men he molested.
Coach Joe Paterno was
faced with a problem he seem-
ingly did not know how to
handle. He followed the proce-
dure of reporting as set by
Penn State University that
turned out not adequate. He
was concerned enough to
inquire what was being done.
He admitted at the end that he
wished he had done more.
Coach Paterno ran a suc-
cessful football program. That
was his job. Would we feel
better if his program had not
been successful? The success
of his program was not to the
detriment of his players. To
the contrary, Joe set out to
prove that young men could
play football and receive a
good education coming out
into the world as upstanding
citizens with a profession. He
was concerned for and worked
with all of his players to pre-
pare them for life. We have
generations of success stories
to prove him right. We know
his wife Sue spent countless
hours tutoring players in order
to help.
Why must there be a scape-
goat? People in authority at
PSU and the NCAA are doing
a successful job dismantling
his reputation. Shame on
them! They are ruining a fine
man, his family and hurting
young men who played for
PSU in past years.
I wonder if those in power,
responsible for throwing the
stones, can come close to
measuring up to Joes charac-
ter. I doubt it.

Shale gas impact
threatens Valley
T
he Wyoming Valley has
been fortunate, so far, in
fending off possible in-
juries from the gas drilling
boom.
We faced the possible loss of
our Valley water supply by gas
drilling operations next to our
reservoirs. This possibility
made some people see this
industry as a problem and
they stood up for us.
Now we are faced with
another possible sacrifice so
the gas industry can conduct
its business: a compressor
station on a mountaintop in
West Wyoming overlooking
our Valley to the east and
Frances Slocum State Park to
the west. This will put known
toxic contaminates into our
air that will settle into our
Valley.
This proposed compressor
station consists of three huge
engines to produce pressure to
push the gas through the
24-inch main pipe. These run
constantly, spewing exhaust
into the air.
First our water and now our
air. Remember, please, that
our reservoirs are still at risk
when all other gas in Penn-
sylvania is gone except the gas
near our water supplies.
Its time once again to get
off the couch, stand up and
say, I am not a necessary
profit sacrifice.

Soft heads/hearts
ruining our Valley
T
he fabric of our communi-
ty has been forever
changed by the influx of
Philadelphia and New York
drug dealers and gang mem-
bers. Many of the streets of
our Valley seemingly are no
safer than the streets of Bagh-
dad or the caves of Afghan-
istan.
Natives of the Wyoming
Valley are sometimes called
haynas by the liberals. They
mock us, which is all the more
reason to wear the title proud-
ly. Every bleeding heart
group has taken advantage of
us with their plans for social
engineering. They have been
instrumental in bringing these
people to our beloved Valley.
Why do they all have a tax-
exempt status when their
agendas are so political and
downright socialist?
These organizations would
have you believe that you can
not only befriend the devil,
you can change him, too. If
you listen to the churches talk
about the homeless, you
would think they were speak-
ing of devotees of St. Francis
or Mother Teresa: they de-
serve our love and affections
and are virtually untouchable.
If thats the case, so be it.
But what about traditional
working families that are
trying to keep body and soul
together while they are raising
legitimate children? Why do
they ask them for church dues
and contributions? Many of
the people who provide a
Catholic education to their
children are those who dont
want them to attend the very
schools that these twisted
people with their bleeding
hearts have turned into war
zones. Why dont they supply
those families with free tuition
to Catholic schools if they are
so benevolent?
Most of the time, the people
who oppose cracking down on
criminals are people who live
in areas where there is little
chance they ever will come in
contact with them and find it
attractive to support them in
some charitable way by
getting an income tax break in
return.

What: The Last Goodbye
Author: Thomas M. Hartz
Publisher: Self-published; availa-
ble on Kindle for $2.99
In many families trinkets are

passeddownfromgenerationtogen-
eration to serve as reminders of
those who came before. Tom Hartz,
54, of Hunlock Creek wanted to pro-
vide his sons, Ryan and Charles, in
their 30s and 40s, respectively, with
suchamemento, but hethought ona
broader scale.
Its important to me that they
know the story of their family, so I
decided to write it all down for
them, he said.
The Last
Goodbye is a re-
cently finished
work by Hartz,
who has no for-
mal writing
training, just a
passionfor histo-
ry and a story to
tell. The tale is basedonthe true sto-
ry of Hartzs parents lives. Set in the
early 1900s, it chronicles the lives of
Charles (Harry) Hartz and Nora
Whitneyandthe trials theyendured.
Readers follow them through World
War I, prohibition, the Great Depres-
sion and much more.
Hartz has beenworking onthe nov-
el since 1992; the whole thing was
written by hand before it was trans-
ferredtoa computer. OnFathers Day,
Ryan surprised his father by showing
him, on an iPad, that his book was
now available to the masses.
I was so overwhelmed that he
went ahead and did that without me
knowing, Hartz said. There were
tears in my eyes.
Amajor catalyst for the bookis the
fact that Hartzs father died when he
was 7.
I missed out on a lot with my fa-
ther dying at a young age, so I would
fantasize about himand what his life
was like, Hartz said. Im in love
with that period of time, and I think
its because I know thats when he
lived.
Hartz was in possession of much
of his mothers paperwork after she
died and found divorce papers from
1959, a confusing thing since his par-
ents were together at the time.
It ends up that my mother was a
bigamist, Hartz said. She met a
man in Niagara Falls and married
him before my father came along.
She had a son with him and, for
whatever reason, left to come back
to Larksville. She eventually moved
to NewYork and was a nurse, where
she met my father, who was a tug-
boat captain at the time.
Hartz saw the value in that story
and continued to research his family
and the time period to make his
work as historically accurate as pos-
sible.
It might sound silly, but I really
did feel closer to my father while do-
ing this, he said. As I was writing
about him, I could almost feel the
emotions he must have gone
through.

n 2006, Paul Dano delivered
his breakout performance in
Little Miss Sunshine, a
Best Picture Oscar nominee di-
rected by Valerie Faris and Jo-
nathan Dayton. For his latest
film, Danois not only reteaming
with Faris and Dayton but pair-
ing up with off-screen girlfriend
Zoe Kazan.
That gives Ruby Sparks the argua-
bledistinctionas theonlyfilminHolly-
wood history in which a couple has di-
rected another couple in the starring
roles. If all of that togetherness led to
any weird feelings on the set, Dano is
not letting on.
It was actually a great thing, he
says. Val and Jon had a great personal

(Kazan), he begins writing about her.
All is well until she materializes in his

If that wasnt bizarre enough, Ruby

Oddlyenough, bothDanoandKazan

Bond turns 50 this year, but
youd never know it by
looking at him. Despite hundreds of skirmishes with the
worlds scariest villains not to mention a diet heavy on

In October, it will have been five decades
since 007 (in the form of Sean Connery) first
sauntered on to screens in Dr. No. And hes
still going strong. The Bondmovies are not on-
ly the longest continuously running series in
cinemahistorybut also, withmorethan$5bil-
lion in box-office receipts, the most success-
ful. Take that, George Lucas.
Daniel Craig, thesixthactor toplay
the world-saving spy, will step
into Bonds shoes once again
on Oct. 26 with Skyfall, the 23rd filmin the series. Also
this October, MGM will celebrate 007s birthday with a
22-disc Blu-ray set that finally makes all of the movies
available in high-def.
The Bondfranchise startedin1962 withDr. No.
It was not only a worldwide smash but also

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). If
life is an experiment, mis-
takes are progress. Note
the information you glean
from each experience,
whether or not it goes the
way you wanted it to go.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Usually, the things you
spend the most time doing
will bring you the great-
est degree of success.
Today will be quirky in this
regard. Something you do
for only a few moments
will bring you tremendous
luck.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Dont put too much
emphasis on whether or
not you enjoy a task. If it
needs to be done, enjoy-
ment becomes irrelevant.
The mature person gets
in there and gets it done
with as little resistance as
possible.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Today youll start connect-
ing the dots of a formerly
fuzzy sketch. Be prepared
for things to take a dif-
ferent shape from that
which youd envisioned.
Ultimately, youll be
pleased.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Preconceived notions are
obstacles to overcome.
Having zero expectations
makes it easier to accept
what is. Youll be amazed
at what you can do when
you deal in realities
instead of fantasies.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
The problem may not
seem to be about you.
And yet, if youre the one
experiencing it, its unlikely
a cosmic mistake. Anyway,
the problem requires you
to be more than you were,
so its a gift.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Youll go the distance for a
good friend. Wear comfort-
able shoes for this mission
both figuratively and
actually. Youre going to
be so much more helpful
when you have the right
gear to take on whats
required.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Some of the best parts
of the day happen out of
a spontaneous collision
of circumstances. Once
you let go of the fun you
planned, you can embrace
the fun thats waiting
for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). If the GPS system
does not agree with the
road, the GPS is wrong.
Similarly, if your idea of
how to reach your goal
doesnt match whats actu-
ally necessary, chuck your
plan and do what it takes.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You are a study in
contrasts. You are at once
wise and childlike. You are
a visionary who keeps it
real. Youll keep everyone
guessing, especially a cer-
tain someone.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You dont need a reason to
prove yourself. Youll do it
just because you feel like
it. Youll surprise yourself.
You might find out that
you can be strong with-
out any of the things you
thought were making you
stronger.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Its as though the sun is
shining after long days of
rain. The mud has dried,
and you can free your
wheels from the ditch in
which theyve been spin-
ning. Time to get back on
the road.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July
29). First your imagina-
tion will take you places,
and then the rest of you
will catch up. August
is filled with precious
moments, most of which
involve a favorite person.
September and October
are sweet on your financ-
es, as youre inspired to
earn more and sock some
away, too. December is
your chance at a prize.
Aries and Sagittarius peo-
ple adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 20, 4, 33, 21
and 18.

DEAR ABBY
Memories of childhood
abuse haunt young mom
Dear Abby:
Im a 25-year-
old, hap-
pily married
woman with
a great life.
Ever since
the birth of my son a little
over a year ago, I find myself
angry at things that hap-
pened in my childhood that I
thought I had gotten over.
Abby, I was mentally, phys-
ically and sexually abused by
my father. He has never had
to answer for his actions,
which of course he denies.
My mother was also emo-
tionally and verbally abusive,
as well as absent. I have a
newfound anger toward her,
and the hatred for my father
has resurfaced. (I have no
contact with him.)
How do I get over this? I
had therapy as a kid and Im
looking for other options.
Having Flashbacks in
Marion, Ohio
Dear Having Flashbacks:
You may be looking for oth-
er options, but more coun-
seling may be the best op-
tion for you. Now that youre
a mother yourself, with a
daily reminder of how small
and fragile a child is, its not
surprising youre angry at
your parents for the way you
were treated when you were
little and helpless. A licensed
psychotherapist can help
you work this through in the
shortest possible time, so
please dont wait to ask for a
referral.
Dear Abby: Less than a year
ago, my 28-year-old son,
David, married his college
sweetheart, Ann. Shes a
wonderful girl. They bought
a home in the Midwest.
David sometimes goes out
of state on temporary jobs.
He called me a month ago,
while on a job in a resort
area, and told me he has met
someone and wants out of
his marriage. He said Ann
has been great, they never
argue, etc., but he was pres-
sured into the marriage.
Ann has called me several
times in tears. She said she
will give him time, but she is
almost ready to give up. I am
heartbroken. I think my son
is making a terrible mistake,
as Ann truly loves him and
will do anything for him. I
love her like a daughter.
I have spoken to David and
told him what I think, but I
dont know what else to do.
There is no reason for this
breakup. How can I help him
not to go ahead with this?
Very Sad Mom in
Maryland
Dear Mom: You cant pre-
vent your son from leaving
the marriage. However, you
would do him and Ann a fa-
vor to suggest that when his
business in the resort area is
finished, they seek marriage
counseling. David may want
out because he met someone
or, as he said, he didnt really
want to be married in the
first place.
While the situation is sad
and you love your daughter-
in-law, do NOT allow your-
self to be put in the middle
or you will alienate your son.
If the marriage doesnt work
out, you can still have a rela-
tionship with her, although
it wont be the one you
planned on.
Dear Abby: Whats the dif-
ference, in your opinion,
between gossip and news? I
have a friend who loves tell-
ing me things about other
friends. I think she does it
in order to let me know that
she knows something I dont
know. Frankly, I think shes
invading the privacy of oth-
ers. She considers it news.
I consider it gossip.
Unwilling Listener in
Phoenix
Dear Unwilling: News is
something that affects every-
one. Its supposed to be fact-
based. Gossip, on the other
hand, a form of voyeurism,
is often based on conjecture
and its intent is titillation.

tually moved to New York City,
where Paul Jr. was born, they
bought a second home in East
Stroudsburg.
Wed always go out there on
weekends, Paul says. So, Ive
been visiting the area my whole
life. I love chilling out, taking a
swim in the pond, walking in the
woods and going to play some
golf.
We have Thanksgiving in
Pennsylvania every year, and its
my favorite holiday. We have 50or
so people flying in from all over. I
love going to Pennsylvania be-
cause its such a beautiful place.
Since Danos father retired and
moved to Pennsylvania full time,
Danois anevenmore frequent vis-
itor. One of his favorite haunts is
the Pocono Community Center,
whereearlier thisyear heattended
a Q-and-A session for his movie
Being Flynn.
Id like to come back and do
something similar for Ruby
Sparks, the actor notes.
Ruby Sparks is certainly ripe
for discussion. At the heart of the
movie, Danosays, are a number of
interestingthemes. Its a love sto-
ry, but it examines what its like to
fall in love with the idea of some-
one and not see the person for
themselves.
The film looks at the idea of
control inarelationship, whichisa
pretty universal theme. And, fi-
nally, I think its about the creative
process. Its about a writer who
people are expecting such big
things from. Other people are try-
ing to determine what success is
for him. Thats another themethat
I can relate to.
The idea for Ruby Sparks be-
gan with Kazan, the daughter of
scripters Nicholas Kazan (Re-
versal of Fortune) andRobinSwi-
cord(The Curious Case of Benja-
minButton). Danosayshewas10
pages into Kazans screenplay
whenheknewshewas ontosome-
thing special.
I said, Lets get this to Valerie
and Jonathan. They were our
dreamchoices to direct.
In many ways, Dano is one of
Hollywoods least likely success
stories. Its not only his offbeat
looks but his penchant for gently
underplaying his roles. While he
showed real ferocity as Eli and
Paul Sunday in There Will Be
Blood, his real strength lies in his
ability to react to all the craziness
around him.
Its a talent he learned early
working alongside powerhouse
actor George C. Scott in a Broad-
way production of Inherit the
Wind. Dano was only12 when he
appeared in the play but he insists
his decision to become an actor
was more accident than calcula-
tion.
When I was a kid, acting was
just another activity for me, he
says. I loved to play basketball,
andI lovedgoingtothe communi-
ty theater to do plays. I was never
starstruck or very ambitious. It
just happened organically. I
liked acting. It felt natural, and I
felt Id be good at it.
As an audience member, I also
felt like I got a lot out of movies. I
wanted to be a part of something
that inspired me. And then one
thing led to another.
Whileheappearedinseveral TV
showsandfilmsintheearly2000s,
his first substantial role was play-
ing an angry teenager who opted
to refrain from speaking in Little
Miss Sunshine. A year later, he
wowed audiences by holding his
own against Daniel Day-Lewis in
There Will Be Blood.
DanolandedtheBlood roleaf-
ter another actor dropped out and
Day-Lewis personally recom-
mendedhimto director Paul Tho-
mas Anderson. Looking back on
the experience, Dano says its one
of his proudest achievements.
I cherish that movie greatly,
he says. Sometimes when youre
working, youll think, Something
really great happenedtoday. I had
that feeling many times on that
film. It was just a special movie.
You dont get too many of those.
As hard as it was and as hot as it
was filming in the desert in the
summer, it felt so good. It was
some of the most fun Ive ever
had.
As busy as Dano is, he always
finds time to return to the stage.
While working on an off-Broad-
way play, he first met Kazan. The
attraction was instant.
We were attracted as artists
too, not just as lovers, he said.
We had a lot of respect for each
other, whichhashelpedinourrela-
tionship.
Hes in awe of her as an actress.
Shesveryspecial,hesays. Shes
verysmart but alsoincrediblyfree.
Shehas wonderful instincts but al-
sohasabigtoolboxthat allowsher
to play many kinds of characters.
Shes a unique creature.
The most challenging aspect of
their relationship, he says, is that
bothof themworksooftenandare
rarely home at the same time. Its
not easytobe apart somuch. But I
try to look on the bright side. It
tends to bring a sense of longing
and excitement to our relation-
ship.
Dano is having the kind of year
many actors would dream about.
He started off 2012 sharing the
screenwithRobert DeNiro inBe-
ing Flynn, andinSeptember hell
co-star withJosephGordon-Levitt
in Looper, a sci-fi time-travel ad-
venture fromBrick helmer Rian
Johnson.
I only have a small role in
Looper, but I think its a unique
movie,hesays. Itsgoingtobeto-
tally bad-ass.
Inhisrelativelyshort career, Da-
nohas workedwithawhos whoof
Hollywood heavyweights, includ-
ing Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise,
Daniel Craig and Julianne Moore.
Directors are more important to
himthan the size of his role or the
films budget. On his wish list of
filmmakers withwhomhedliketo
work are Terrence Malick (Tree
of Life) and Alfonso Cuaron
(Great Expectations).

James Bond made his first ap-
pearance in Casino Royale,
which was published in 1953.
Thirteen more Bond books by
Fleming followed.
Since the release of Dr. No,
the world has never gone more
than five or six years without a
new Bond flick. Connery played
him five times from 1962-1967
and then again in 1971 and 1983.
In between, there was a one-off
appearance by George Lazenby,
and in 1973, Roger Moore took
over for seven outings.
Next came Timothy Dalton for
two films beginning in 1987.
Pierce Brosnan got the job in
1995 for four features, and then
came Craig, who toplines series
reboot Casino Royale, Quan-
tumof Solace and the upcoming
Skyfall. Here are seven reasons
to still love James Bond:
1. The Local Connection. An

occasional visitor to Wilkes-
Barre where his director-father
Joseph Mankiewicz (All About
Eve) was born, Tom Mankiew-
icz wrote, co-wrote or script-doc-
toredat least fiveBonds, including
Diamonds are Forever, Live and
Let Die, The Man With The
Golden Gun, The Spy Who
Loved Me and Moonraker.
In License to Kill, Benicio
Del Toro played the deadly hit
manDario. The actor, whowould
go on to win an Oscar for Traf-
fic, grewup in Mercersburg, Pa.,
just south of Harrisburg.
2. Connery. SeanConnery. Hes
super-masculine but always has
that twinkle in his eye. Its the
twinkle that is sadly missing
fromCraigs otherwise terrific in-
terpretation of the character. As
the first Bond, Connery set the
standard and proved incredibly
hard to follow. Ironically, he was
the third choice for the role, fol-
lowing David Niven and Cary
Grant, both of whom passed on
Dr. No.
Budgetedat $1million, Dr. No
was a surprisesmashhit andmade
Fleming reconsider his initial crit-
icismof Connery as uncouth, ac-
cording to The Essential Bond
by Lee Pfeiffer and Dave Worrall.
The best Connerys? Dr. No
and From Russia With Love are
among the toughest, fastest-paced
entries in the series. They arent
jam-packedwithgadgetry, but oth-
erwise theyre representative of all
that works about theBondmovies.
3. The Bond Girls. The misog-
yny in early Bond movies is hard
to take. But you could make the
case that scores of actresses have
been given interesting roles in
the series. In addition to serving
as eye candy, women have
played assassins, double-agents
and criminal masterminds.
Goldfinger star Honor
Blackman is often cited as the
best-ever Bond Girl. Smart and
capable, her Pussy Galore is a
wonderful foil for Connery. Run-
ning a close second is Ursula An-
dress HoneyRyder. The scene of
Andress emerging from the
ocean in a bikini in Dr. No was
replicated twice in subsequent
Bond movies by Halle Berry in
Die Another Day and by Da-
niel Craig in Casino Royale.
As Wai Lin in TomorrowNev-
er Dies, Michelle Yeoh scores
points for performing almost all
of her own stunts. If you like
your Bond girls with lots of back-
story and psychological depth,
you cant go wrong with Eva
Greens Vesper Lynd in Casino
Royale. By turns tortured and
crafty, she was a BondGirl unlike
any Bond Girl in the history of
the series.
4. The Theme Songs. With 11
of the films to his credit, John
Barry wrote the best and most
representative Bond scores.
Thats a given. But who perform-
ed the best theme songs?
Top Three: Paul McCartney &
Wings Live and Let Die, Shir-
ley Basseys Goldfinger and
Carly Simons Nobody Does It
Better (from The Spy Who
Loved Me.)
5. Judi Dench as M. Britains
Bernard Lee originated the role
of M and was terrific as Bonds
boss. But the Oscar-winning ac-
tress has found a way to make
the role her own. She began her
run with GoldenEye and con-
tinues through this years Sky-
fall.
The Brosnan Bonds star in
some of the series weakest
screenplays, but when Dench is
on screen, she pulls the material
up a notch a two. Only Dench
could tell Bond she considers
him a sexist, misogynistic dino-
saur a relic of the ColdWar and
make him respect her all the
more. There is a rumor that M
dies in Skyfall. If thats true, the
series will lose one of its secret
weapons.
6. The Bond Villains. Inthe up-
comingSkyfall, it will be the Os-
car-winning Javier Bardem,
among others, giving our hero a
tough time. Hes a powerful actor,
but he has some stiff competition
in the Bond-baddie department.
Who can forget Rosa Klebb
(Lotte Lenya) in From Russia
With Love who tried to kill
Bond with her poison-knife-
tipped shoe? Or Xenia Onatopp
(Famke Janssen) in Gold-
enEye who can assassinate men
by strangling them between her
thighs? Or Jaws (Richard Kiel)
in The Spy Who Loved Me
who nearly kills OO7 with his ra-
zor-sharp choppers?
7. Vehicles and Gadgets.
Where do we begin? Bonds mode
of transport has included every-
thing from jet packs to gondolas
to a portable mini-helicopter
calledtheLittleNellie. But theAs-
ton Martin DB5 that makes its
first appearance inGoldfinger is
easily Bonds best-known car.
TheSpyWhoLovedMe marks
the introduction of Bonds second-
most famous automobile, the Lo-
tus Esprit. Not only is the vehicle
equipped with canons that allowit
to shoot cement out of the license
plate, but its capable of traveling
high speeds. Under water.
As for the gadgets, there were
virtually none in Dr. No unless
you count Bonds trademark
Walther PPK. But the follow-up
From Russia With Love began
the tradition of Qgifting 007 with
some cool doodads, including an
attach case big enough for a fold-
ed snipers rifle and a wristwatch
with retractable piano wire.

I
t can take years to bring a sin-
gle film to screen. It took over
eight years to bring the mas-
sively popular Batman trilogy
into theaters.
The Art and Making of The
Dark Knight Trilogy, takes you
through those eight and more
years as you learn about the
whole process, from concept to
conclusion.
A beautifully artistic photo
book, its a worthy addition to any
film student or Batman readers
collection of making of books.
Coming from a background in
smaller films, director Christopher
Nolan never took for granted that
hed make all three Batman films
so he concentrated on making
them as complete in themselves.
People ask if wed always
planned a trilogy, Nolan says.
When (screenwriter) David
(Goyer) andI first startedcracking
open Bruces story, we flirted with
what might come after, then
backed away, not wanting to look
deep into the future.
To be able to create films took
the faith of DC Comics, the back-
ing of Warner Bros, lots of money
and inspired casting. Nolan cast
the late Heath Ledger, who won a
posthumous Oscar for his perform-
ance as the insane Joker in The
Dark Knight, and obviously still
misses him from his comments.
He didnt have to look far to find
Batman fans among the actors.
Morgan Freeman, who plays tech
genius Lucius Fox, was a long-
standing comics fan. I was one of
those kids, like millions of other
kids, who read all the comic
books, he said. The Spirit and
Batman and Captain Marvel. If
there was a comic book, I read it.
Unlike many blockbusters, No-
lan in the Dark Knight films pre-
ferred to use actors rather than
special effects to fill in crowd
scenes. His teamcreatedthe actual
Bat-automobiles for his highly
trained stuntmen to drive.
He used special effects for the
thousands of bats for Batman Be-
gins as well as the destroyed half-
face of Harvey Dent in The Dark
Knight.
One chapter shows that creators
moved with the times into social
media. Noted musician Hans Zim-
mer needed a chant for The Dark
Knight Rising. His groupset upa
website people could go to, which
talked themthrough howto do the
chant, record it, and send it to us.
Using word of mouth and Twitter,
he got a response so overwhelm-
ing, it crashedthe system. Thou-
sands of people per second went to
this site, and the whole thing melt-
ed down that first week.
For anyone who ever wanted to
make a movie, The Art and Mak-
ing of The Dark Knight Trilogy is
as good a blueprint, as well as an
engrossing tale, of the making of a
mega-hit film series.

SYDNEYInSydney, youcan
swimin the same pool where Ian
Thorpe wonfive Olympic medals
in 2000. In Berlin, you can pose
for photos in the stadium where
Jesse Owens won four gold med-
als in 1936. In Lake Placid, N.Y.,
you can skate on the same rink
where Eric Heiden speed-skated
his way to five golds in 1980.
You dont have to go to London
to enjoy the Olympics.
Many venues used for past
Olympic Games are still stand-
ing, someinmodifiedform. Afew
are open for public sporting use,
while many others offer tours for
a fee. Many Olympic cities also
have sports museums with heavy
doses of Olympic memorabilia.
If youre taking a trip to a city
with an Olympic past, you might
want to fit in a visit to the Olym-
pic stadiumor museum. Its away
to relive those gold-medal mo-
ments andlearnabout citylifebe-
fore, during and after the games.
For someof thesmaller cities, the
Olympics represented their one
shot at claiming the worlds spot-
light.
Here are some places to con-
sider:
SYDNEY AND MEL-
BOURNE, AUSTRALIA
The bulk of the Sydney Games
in 2000 took place at Sydney
Olympic Park, a short train ride
from the citys center.
The opening and closing cere-
monies took place in what is now
ANZStadium. As part of the tour,
you can pose for photos standing
on a medal stand take your
pick of gold, silver or bronze. An
extended, pricier Gantry Tour
takes you high above the field
along steel mesh walkways used
by crews to access lighting and
sound equipment.
Track-and-field events also
took place there, though the ac-
tual track used was rolled up like
a carpet and moved to the warm-
up area of the nearby Athletic
Centre. (The main track at the
Athletic Centre hadbeenusedfor
warm-up during the Olympics.)
The Athletic Centre is open for
recreational use when there isnt
an event scheduled, with either
the main or warm-up track open
on a given day.
The Aquatic Centre has an
Olympic-size pool, naturally,
open to the public for lap swim-
ming. Diving competition also
took place there (you can walk
by, but cant use the diving pool,
though). Families may be more
interested in the indoor water
playground next to the Olympic
warm-up pool.
After your swim, you can play
tennis or try out archery at other
venues aroundthe Olympic Park.

Melbourne hosted the Olym-
pics in 1956, but much of the
main venue has been trans-
formed since then. The tour of
the Melbourne Cricket Ground
offers more about cricket than
the Olympic Games that took
place there. However, a sports
museumhas anextensive section
on the Olympics. Thats where
you can see the cauldron where
the Olympic flame burned dur-
ing the Melbourne Games.
LAKE PLACID, N.Y.
About five hours north of New
York City, Lake Placid hosted the
Winter Olympics in 1932 and
1980. Several of the venues are
still open for tours and recre-
ational use, though some are op-
erational only during the winter
season.
Die-hard fans may want to ride
the bobsled. Its the actual one
used in competition, though you
only get to ride part of it, with a
professional escort. If you are
brave, you also can ride the head-
first skeleton run, though it
wasnt an Olympic event during
either of the Lake Placid Games.
While there, you can tour the
Olympic Center, where the U.S.
ice hockey team defeated the So-
viets in what has become known
as the Miracle on Ice. You can
skate in one of its indoor rinks.
Theoutdoor speedskatingoval is
open during the winter months
and is the same one used by Hei-
den and other Olympic athletes
in 1980.
A separate tour is available for
the Olympic ski-jumping com-
plex, and Whiteface Mountain is
openfor skiingduringthe winter.
Lake Placid also hosts an Olym-
pic museum downtown.
Consider an Olympic Sites
Passport for discounts if you are
visiting several venues. To plan

BERLIN AND MUNICH,
GERMANY
Germany hosted two noto-
rious games: The 1936 Berlin
Olympics, which Adolf Hitler
tried to turn into a showcase of
Aryan supremacy, and the 1972
Munich Olympics, married by a
hostage crisis that left 11 Israelis
dead.
You see the majestic Olympic
Gate two towers holding up
the Olympic rings as you ap-
proach Olympiastadion Berlin.
Next to the stadium is the tower
and parade grounds used by the
Nazis for military and political
Pose where Olympic champs reigned

Visitors crowd the runners tunnel used during the 1936 Berlin Games in Germany. Those who sign
up for the Berlin Marathon in September may get to run on the track the morning before the race.

Lain-Move Right In! Hanover Twp.-Immaculate!
Story by Marianne Tucker Puhalla
Advertising Projects Writer
An acre of land surrounds this well-
kept bi-level in the Washington Park
section of Mountain Top. Offering three
bedrooms and two baths, this comfort-
able home at 16 Karin Dr., Wright Twp.,
is much larger than it looks from the
front, with multiple levels, large rooms,
and a nished lower level with wet bar
that is perfect for entertaining.
Listed by Christine Kutz of J.J. Man-
tione Appraisal and Realty Group for
$205,000, this corner property measures
just over one acre, is private and has
plenty of mature landscaping.
The home built in 1975 features over
2,500 square feet of space on four levels.
It offers green aluminum siding with
white brick trim and an attached two-car
garage.
A covered porch spans the front of the
home with a front door that leads into
a tiled foyer with inlaid ceramic tile. A
right takes you into the 19-by-16 living
room. Here you nd beige wall-to-wall
carpeting, matching beige walls and a
textured ceiling. A picture window to the
front brings in plenty of natural light.
An opening to the rear opens to the
10-by-10 dining room where the beige
carpeting continues and there is a crystal
chandelier. There are drapes on patio
doors that open rear to a sun porch.
A left off the dining room leads to the
15-by-10 eat-in kitchen. A beige and blue
vinyl oor sets the stage for oak cabinets
topped by white countertops. Amenities
include a built-in desk with shelving per-
fect for cookbooks, and a single window
rear. A dishwasher, refrigerator, wall
oven and electric cook top are among
the appliances. There is a pantry cabinet
nearby in the breakfast area where there
is room for a table set against a single
window rear. A door also opens to the
rear-facing sun porch.
The three-season retreat measures
10-by-15 and has three walls of windows
overlooking the private rear yard.
Upstairs, the 15-by-12 master bedroom
has pleated sheers on single windows
side and rear to accent cream Berber
carpeting and white walls with a green
oral print wallpaper border.
Bedrooms two and three measure
15-by-11 and 12-by-10 with cream carpet-
ing, large closets, and plentiful windows.
A double closet in the hall has bi-fold
doors, and a linen closet has oor-to-
ceiling shelves.
A full bath on this level has gray vinyl
ooring in a tile pattern and a dusty blue

bonus room includes washer and dryer hook-ups.
A powder room on this level has a Formica vanity
with teal accents and mini-blinds on a single window
rear.
The lowest level of the home offers plenty of a fun...a
26-by-25 recreation room with a large wet bar and a
brick replace. This space has knotty pine paneled
walls, three ground-level windows and a door that
opens to the side yard. There is plenty of built-in stor-
age around the leather-trimmed bar with a cubby for a
refrigerator.

ed by the propane replace, a private well and on-site
septic system. All utilities are underground so to not
