Chester casino feels pressure in crowded Pennsylvania market

By PATRICK WALTERS Associated Press
CHESTER. When Harrahs Chester Casino & Racetrack opened its doors in this struggling city in January 2007, it was the states third casino, a novelty that pulled in Philadelphia-area gamblers thrilled not to have to drive to Atlantic City. Five years later, Pennsylvania has 11 casinos, four in the Philadelphia area. Harrahs casino in Chester, a long-downtrodden
city in the southern suburbs, also is closer to competition in Delaware and Maryland. Weve certainly felt the pressures, said Ron Baumann, the Chester casinos general manager and a veteran of Atlantic City, where casinos have seen their revenues plummet amid heightened competition from Pennsylvania. The Atlantic City lesson is certainly one that we all need to learn. ... You just always, always have to be creating a com-
petitive advantage. To fight back, the casino is trying to rebrand itself and increase the quality of its offerings. Earlier this month, it announced it was rebranding itself Harrahs Philadelphia to give customers a better idea of where it is. It is upgrading its restaurants and starting to hold concerts on its new patio and on its racetrack, efforts geared toward becoming a night out destination for customers farther away.
While Harrahs business remains above both its own projections and those of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, the slots losses have the casino operators scrambling. Our plans call for growth this year, said Baumann, who is focused on getting more of the estimated 8.5 million gaming adults within a 60-mile radius around the casino. Are we content with where were at? No.

LOCAL One-owner back-tax sale planned

Jim Lagana says he expects to pay the bill and head off the sale.
By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com
timesleader.com
SUNDAY, MAY 27, 2012 PAGE 3A
A Luzerne County back-tax sale is scheduled for June 11, but this one is unusual because it only covers property owned by Hazleton-area resident Jim Lagana and his company. Lagana said hes confident the sale will be called off because hes finalizing a refinancing plan that will yield cash to cover all overdue taxes. Judges had agreed to remove Laganas properties from past sales, including one on April 12, based on Laganas promises
to repay the debt. Northeast Revenue Service LLC, the countys tax claim operator, argued a special sale should be held if Lagana didnt pay because the next first-stage auction wont be held until the fall, said company representative John Rodgers. The court agreed and ordered a special sale on May 14. Another extension was granted until June 11, but the court order said in bold print that no further continuances will be granted. The following Lagana properties, all in Hazle Township, could be up for auction: the Holly Lynn Mobile Home Park, two corporate center buildings and three commercial office and retail buildings on the Airport Beltway the Laurel Profes-
sional Center, the Beltway Commons and the Franklin Corporate Center, county records show. Lagana owes more than $289,200 in taxes on these and other properties for 2009 through 2011, county tax records show. Lagana said he has been working on a refinancing plan for months and tentatively plans to close on an agreement Wednesday. He said his tenants shouldnt be concerned because the restructuring is definite. He blamed his tax difficulties on the countywide reassessment, saying his tax bills doubled on some properties. Lagana said he had to hire appraisers to prove the properties were over-assessed and wait
for assessment challenges to be resolved. Rodgers said he wants the properties auctioned June 11 if the taxes arent paid so they may advance to the countys freeand-clear sale in August, which is for properties that dont sell at initial sales. Rodgers said he will continue seeking special sales for properties that carry tax bills over $100,000. Some of these properties keep getting continuances. The taxing bodies need the money, Rodgers said. Properties are supposed to be auctioned if taxes have gone unpaid for two years. To get out of a sale, property owners must pay taxes owed, file for bankruptcy or convince a judge to grant more time.
The driver of a pickup truck fled the scene after a two-vehicle accident at 8:55 p.m. Friday, according to state police. State police said Brittany Krapf, 19, of Mountain Top was driving west on Mizdail Road in a Pontiac Aztek and was struck by the oncoming pickup truck, which lost control while negotiating a left turn at high speed. State police said both vehicles stopped, but the driver of the pickup fled after he was confronted by 31-year-old Jason Rece, a passenger in the Pontiac. Anthony Cook, 25, of Alden, one of three passengers in the Pontiac, was injured in the crash, state police said. The pickup truck was described as a dark blue Ford F-150, possibly with a design on the side, state police said. The driver was described as an older white male with white hair, approximately 6 feet tall, weighing 175 pounds and wearing a straw cowboy hat, state police said. Anyone with information about the accident or the driver of the pickup is asked to contact state police at Wyoming at 697-2000.

HOW IT WORKS
Fish for Free Days allow anyone (resident or non-resident) to legally fish with no fishing license required to fish on all Pennsylvanias waterways on the designated days. All other fishing regulations still apply. Two dates are typically chosen May 28 and Sept. 3. For more information on the Fish for Free Days and the Family Fishing Program, visit www.fish.state.pa.us/fish_fundamentals.htm.
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, announced his office is accepting applications for student internships in his Washington, D.C., and Northeastern Pennsylvania district offices for the fall semester. Applicants must be at least 18 years old. The start and end dates of the internships depend on the student. Schedules are also determined based on an interns availability. To apply, an interested student should send a resume and a cover letter by email to Barlettas office at PA11Internships@gmail.com. Applications are due June 15.

Its hard to tell if the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commissions Fish for Free Days has recruited new anglers into license buyers. After all, when a one-day reprieve on the license requirement is granted, how does one differentiate between veteran angler and first-time novice? Walt Dietz, who serves as the outreach and education coordinator for the PFBCs Northeast Region, said even if the program isnt recruiting new anglers as hoped, its still not a failure. If it doesnt work and people come away with a free day of fishing, whats the harm? Dietz said. Its hard to tabulate
if its working or not, but its an enticement. Offer people an opportunity to try it out before they decide to buy a license. The PFBC has been offering Fish for Free Days since 1984. Back then a single day, Sept. 22, was designated to allow people to fish without needing a license. Later, the PFBC offered Fish For Free Days as the back-toback Saturday and Sunday of

Snelson said nursing education started with one-year diploma programs, which were generally housed and funded by local hospitals, but much of the history of these early programs was stored away in basements of former students and instructors.

2 die in random shooting

An 18-year-old gunman killed two people and wounded seven early Saturday in a random shooting in a southern Finnish town, police said. Officers arrested the suspect near Hyvinkaa, some five hours after he fired several shots from a low rooftop at people gathered outside a restaurant just before 2 a.m. said Detective Chief Inspector Markku Tuominen. The local man, who had no criminal record, surrendered peacefully and has acknowledged the shootings, police said. He has recounted the course of events in some detail, but he has not given any reason for what led to these events, said Mika Ihaksinen from the National Bureau of Investigation. At the moment it looks like the shooting was random.
BERLIN
BEIRUT Gruesome video Saturday showed rows of dead Syrian children lying in a mosque in bloody shorts and T-shirts with gaping head wounds, haunting images of what activists called one of the deadliest regime attacks yet in Syrias 14-month-old uprising. The shelling attack on Houla, a group of villages northwest of the central city of Homs, killed more than 90 people, including at least 32 children under the age of 10, the head of the U.N. observer team in Syria said.
The attacks sparked outrage among international leaders and anti-regime groups and large protests in Syria, including the suburbs of the capital of Damascus and its largest city, Aleppo. It also renewed fears of the relevance of a month-old international peace plan that has not stopped almost daily violence. The U.N. denounced the attacks in a statement that appeared to hold President Bashar Assads regime responsible. This appalling and brutal crime involving indiscriminate and disproportionate use of force is a flagrant violation of international law and of the commitments of the Syrian government to cease the use of heavy weapons in population centers and violence in all its forms, said U.N. Secretary General Ban KiMoon and international envoy Kofi Annan. Those re-
sponsible for perpetrating this crime must be held to account. More than a dozen amateur videos posted online Saturday gave glimpses of the carnage, showing lines of bodies laid out in simple rooms, many with bloody faces, torsos and limbs. In some places, residents put chunks of ice on the bodies to preserve them until burial. One two-minute video shows at least a dozen children lined up shoulder to shoulder on a checkered blanket on what appears to be the floor of a mosque. Blood trickled from one girls mouth. One boy, appearing to be no more than 8, had his jaw blown off. The video shows flowered blankets and rugs covering several rows of other bodies.

Klaas Carel Faber, a Dutch native who fled to Germany after being convicted in the Netherlands of Nazi war crimes and subsequently lived in freedom despite several attempts to try or extradite him, has died. He was 90. Fabers wife, Jacoba, told the Dutch news site de Nieuwe Pers that he died in a hospital on Thursday. A hospital official in Ingolstadt, the Bavarian city where the Fabers lived, confirmed that Saturday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with policy.
CAIRO
Candidates want support

The two surviving candidates in Egypts presidential election appealed Saturday for support from voters who rejected them as polarizing extremists in the first round even as they faced a new challenge from the third runner-up who contested the preliminary results. Hosni Mubaraks last prime minister Ahmed Shafiq vowed he wont revive the old authoritarian regime as he sought to cast off his image as an antirevolution figure, while the Muslim Brotherhoods candidate Mohammed Morsi reached out to those fearful of hardline Islamic rule and the rise of a religious state.
VALPARAISO, Ind. A Texas man who took hostages in a northwestern Indiana realty office and held police at bay for several hours suffered three gunshot wounds before dying, likely from two different weapons, a coroner said Saturday. Roy L. Ferguson, 48, of Fulshear, Texas, died at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Porter County Coroner Chuck Harris said. That was two hours after the end of the nearly seven-hour standoff at Prudential Executive Group Real Estate office in Valparaiso, about 40 miles southeast of Chicago. The likelihood of all three gunshot wounds coming

Day weekend. Valparaiso Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Grennes said Saturday that Ferguson had only one firearm a handgun.
TEHRAN, Iran A top Iranian nuclear official said that traces of enriched uranium discovered at an underground bunker came from a routine technical issue, the countrys official IRNA news agency reported Saturday. Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Tehrans envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency, was responding to a report by the U.N. nuclear watchdog that said it had found radioactive traces at an Iranian nuclear site. The uranium found had been enriched to a level that is slightly closer to the threshold needed for nuclear weapons than Irans previous
highest-known enrichment grade. The IAEA said in the confidential report obtained Friday by The Associated Press that it was asking Tehran for a full explanation about the traces. But the report was careful to avoid any suggestion that Iran was intentionally increasing the level of its uranium enrichment. Tehran said the find was a technical glitch, according to the report. Analysts and diplomats said Irans version sounded plausible. The West suspects Iran is pursuing a weapons program. Tehran denies the charge, saying its nuclear program is aimed at peaceful purposes like power generation and cancer treatment.

In a building that once stood smack in the middle of the organizations campus on the 300 block of South Franklin Street, they established a school, infirmary and orphanage for those children, and continued their work long after that generation had matured. During the 1930s and 1940s, the center was on the leading edge in the field of child guidance, a precursor to child psychology. The field of child psychology was just developing in the 1930s and 40s, Hubbard said. And this was a departure from what was the treatment at the time, which was just locking people away, and they realized that with children that wasnt really a good idea. It gained a national reputation as a leader in that field under Dr. Frank Robinson, an innovator in child psychology whose guidance brought the center national and international recognition in the field. In a three-year period in the1940s, the academic researchers completed 187 studies of the centers operations. This was known as the first open childrens psychiatric hospital in the country, Hubbard said. In the 1940s, Childrens Health Center (as it was then called) was known all over the country, and I dont know what happened. While it may have faded from the publics eye, the organization never slipped into obscurity; rather, it has continued to expand its services and adapt to changing methodologies. cial start of summer.

Hopkins said the organization has grown to serve the needs of the community, and that those needs are growing. The needs of kids that were seeing is much higher than in the past, and its not from one thing, Hopkins said. Theres pressure from peers, the whole bullying thing, involvement with drugs, involvement with gangs. I dont think theres a silver bullet that says if you figure out how to fix this problem then it all just goes away. The center has also seen an explosion in the number of children with autism it serves as diagnoses of that disorder have grown exponentially over the last decade, Hopkins said. History of change But change isnt new to Childrens Service Center; throughout its history it has adapted itself to the needs of the community and evolving methods of psychiatric and therapeutic treatment. The organization was founded in April 1862 as the Home for Friendless Children by a group of women concerned for area children reduced to begging after their fathers were killed in the Civil War.
Noah to help kids with flood problems

Classes at Childrens Service Center focus on traditional material as well as emotional aspects of the childrens lives.
Though it still runs group homes, the center closed its BridgeView residential treatment center in Wilkes-Barre last year because the field is moving away from inpatient treatment to focus more on aiding children in their homes. Kids dont exist in a vacuum, Hopkins said. Theyre part of a family unit, and sometimes their problems stem from that family, so we really want to go out into the home as much as possible. In the future, Hopkins said he believes the center will take on an increased role in the community, and its biggest challenge will be to adapt its services to handle that role under budget constraints. Next year, the center is facing a $700,000 increase in operating expenses stemming from utility and insurance rate hikes and cost-of-living salary adjustments Frances Slocum, are popular on Fish for Free Days because they are easily accessible for families. In addition to the opportunity to try fishing for a day without having to buy a license, the PFBC has taken other steps to make it easier for people to try out the sport. The agency hosts family fishing programs at lakes throughout the summer where those who are new to the sport are taught the basics. Loaner equipment is also available at the programs. Also, the PFBC board of commissioners is working with the

Affected by Pa. cuts And though the center is not a government-funded body like Luzerne County Children and Youth Services, the state budget cuts that have impacted those organizations as well as school districts, who sometimes refer patients to the center, will likely create a bigger gap for the center to fill. But Hopkins said the center is not seeking a handout; he only wants the community to recognize the important work he sees every day. I like to see kids getting the help they need, Hopkins said. I like to see them getting healthier; I like to see families doing better than when they came to us. state legislature to create new fishing license proposals such as multi-license promotions and family packages that will make it easier for people to buy a license. And they also keep an eye on the participation for the Fish for Free Days. We do think it has a positive impact on getting people out and trying fishing, said Norm Gavlick, a PFBC commissioner of the northeast region. When it comes to exposing people to fishing and making it easier for parents to take their kids and generate interest, its been a success.

An ark of comfort is coming to help children traumatized by the flood of 2011. Camp Noah, a week-long summer camp intended to help children cope with the trauma of disaster, is coming to St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church in Nanticoke June 25 through 29. The program was founded in 1997 by Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota in response to frequent floods of the Red River but was taken nationwide after hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused widespread devastation along the Gulf Coast in 2005. Ruth Doty of Lutheran Congregational Services of Allentown, which is helping put on the camp, said children process trauma differently than adults do and the camp is designed to help them cope with the disasters impact on their terms. Often, in response to major trauma or disaster, kids regress in their behavior so they may not sleep well, they may be more clingy, they regress, Doty said. Often children try to hold everything in; they try to be extra good. Because of that, children may appear to get better even as they are still grieving, Doty said, and parents busy rebuilding their own homes and lives may not recognize the signs of trauma or be able to help their children cope. Through games, songs and other activities, the camp uses the Bible story of Noahs Ark as a metaphor for the experience of disaster victims. As in the story, campers prepare for disaster, take shelter from the storm perhaps in a real evacuation shelter look for signs of hope and finally settle into life in a new place. When you get off the ark, its
not the same as it was before, but it can still be good, Doty said. Your house might not be exactly the same, but it can be a good place. The Rev. Debra North, pastor of St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church, said the parish was approached about hosting the camp by Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota, which was looking for a host parish close to the floodstruck parts of Plymouth and West Nanticoke. The Minnesota-based charity is picking up most of the cost of the camp, though the church is seeking donations and volunteers to help provide food for campers. There is no charge for attendance. Our involvement is a desire to help our community and to provide a service, North said. This was an opportunity that was offered to help do that, and we agreed that it was important to step up to the plate and do what we could to help. The program is open to all area children in grades1through 6, and organizers noted that even children whose homes were not flooded could have been impacted in more subtle ways. Organizers also said that while it incorporates Bible stories and will be held in a church, the camp is not evangelical and is open to children of all faiths. The focus of the camp is the coping skills and resiliency; the faith portion is the minor tone, North said. Organizers said they are also seeking to host two additional camps for children impacted by the flood of 2011, one in Sayre, Bradford County and one in Shickshinny, though a location has not been secured for the Shickshinny camp.

PHILADELPHIA The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that civil lawsuit plaintiffs alleging asbestos-related ailments cannot submit scientific testimony asserting that even the smallest exposure to the material could cause cancer. The court said in a 6-0 opinion mer employees who helped with filing. Adding staff doesnt appear to be an option because of the countys financial troubles, he said. He is working with the heads of the deeds, wills and civil court records offices to come up with a plan to merge offices into a judicial services and records division created by the new home rule government. County Manager Robert Lawton asked the departments to come up with a merger proposal in 90 days. Linker said he wanted to speak out to get the problem corrected. He said he is facing his pending charges and blames his behavior on the loss of a loved one and his struggles to recover from liver cancer. The police affidavit says he struck the rear of another vehicle on Dec. 28 and fled when the other driver said he was calling 911. Were all human beings. We make mistakes, Linker said.

and this impacts us financially and emotionally, the WilkesBarre man said. I stood before a judge and had this outstanding warrant dropped. His attorney, Laura Dennis, said the countys delay in processing the paperwork is unacceptable. Affecting peoples lives Its not just a paperwork error. This is something affecting peoples lives, Dennis said. Dennis said confusion over scheduling caused Linker to miss his May 4 arraignment. County Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. lifted the warrant, known as a capias, when Linker appeared in court on May 11, she said. The clerk of courts never entered the warrant dismissal into the record system, prompting
the district attorneys office to include Linker on a list of defendants who failed to appear in court, she said. Judge Thomas Burke Jr. issued a bench warrant against Linker on May 18 based on the district attorneys report, she said. Dennis said Burke and the district attorneys office did nothing wrong. It is the fault of the criminal clerks office, which did not follow procedure, Dennis said. Dennis said she had no idea what happened when Linker called her 11:30 p.m. Wednesday to say he was in prison on an outstanding warrant. She said she spent hours getting to the bottom of the problem and praised Sklaroskys office for faxing evidence of the lifted warrant to the prison so Linker could be released at 3 p.m. the next day. Dennis said a clerk of courts worker first indicated Sklaroskys order wasnt clear, but she
said that wasnt accurate. The office then indicated there is a twoweek backlog processing records. Mr. Linker wasnt doing anything wrong, Dennis said. He was walking on a road. Clerk to investigate Interim Clerk of Courts Tom Pizano said he wasnt informed of the situation but would investigate. I will look into it first thing Tuesday, Pizano said. If its our mistake, we certainly apologize and will deal with it in the future. Pizano said the employee who typically handles warrants was off a few days, but other employees are trained to cover. He said the office is behind in processing some records, but he did not believe there was a lag in the warrants. We are understaffed, Pizano said, citing past layoffs and the cancellation of part-time sum-
that plaintiffs must show some relationship between the amount of exposure and development of the disease. Simply put, one cannot simultaneously maintain that a single fiber among millions is substantially causative, while also conceding that a disease is dose-responsive, Justice Thomas Saylor wrote for the majority in the 53page opinion. The ruling came in a 2005 lawsuit by a western Pennsylvania auto mechanic against Ford Motor Co., Allied Signal Inc. and others alleging that his exposure to asbestos through repair of brake linings over 44 years had caused mesothelioma. The justices said they took up the matter as a test case for the admissibility of expert opinion evidence to the effect that each and every fiber of inhaled asbestos is a substantial contributing factor to any asbestos-related disease. The defense argued that it would be impossible to legally assign responsibility without showing that mechanic Charles Simikian had been exposed to specific doses of asbestos known to cause the disease. Allegheny County Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Colville agreed, saying there was no credible explanation for a determination the disease was due to workplace exposure to asbestos and not another source. A Superior Court panel said the any-exposure testimony was something for a jury, not the trial court, to evaluate, but the high court said the judge was right to be circumspect about the scientif-
ic methodology underlying the any-exposure opinion. He spent considerable time listening to the attorneys arguments but was unable to discern a coherent methodology supporting the notion that every single fiber from among, potentially, millions is substantially causative of disease, Saylors decision said. Moreover, he appreciated the considerable tension between the any-exposure opinion and the axiom (manifested in myriad ways both in science and daily human experience) that the dose makes the poison. The high court justices sent the case back to the lower court to consider whether there were other appeal issues. Attorneys for the plaintiff did not return a phone call seeking comment, The Philadelphia Inquirer said. The National Federation of Independent Business, which says thousands of businesses around the country had been sued on the basis of the theory, hailed the decision. This is a significant decision because it prevents the use of tenuous theories that have no basis in science, the groups Pennsylvania director, Kevin Shivers, told the newspaper. Bill Anderson, a lawyer with Crowell & Mooring who filed a friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of the Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce, said only one other state high court that of Texas had barred use of the any-fiber theory of causation increasingly used in asbestos cases across the country.

Obama faces warning signs on campaign trail

If the election were today, president would likely win, though, analysis shows.
By THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press
President Barack Obama faces new warning signs in a oncepromising Southern state and typically Democratic-voting Midwestern states roughly five months before the election even as he benefits nationally from encouraging economic news. Obamas new worries about North Carolina and Wisconsin offer opportunities for Republican Mitt Romney, who must peel off states Obama won in 2008 if hes to cobble together the 270 electoral votes needed to oust the incumbent in November. Iowa, which kicked off the campaign in January, is now expected to be tight to the finish, while New Mexico, thought early to be pivotal, seems to be drifting into Democratic territory. If the election were today, Obama would likely win 247 electoral votes to Romneys 206, according to an Associated Press analysis of polls, ad spending and key developments in states, along with interviews with more than a dozen Republican and Democratic strategists both inside and outside of the two campaigns. Seven states, offering a combined 85 electoral votes, are viewed as too close to give either candidate a meaningful advantage: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio and Virginia. As of today, the advantage still lies with the president, but there is a long and hard road ahead in this election, said Tad Devine, who was a top strategist to Democratic presidential candidates Al Gore and John Kerry but isnt directly involved in this years race. If Romney wins all the states Republican John McCain carried in 2008 plus North Carolina, as trends today suggest he would,

he would still need 64 electoral votes to hit the magic number. That would require him to win a majority of the states that are up for grabs. Obama, on the other hand, faces the costly and labor-intensive challenge of defending those states in a much different environment than the one he enjoyed four years ago. Big-spending, pro-Romney political committees are certain to be a factor, and already are running heavy levels of television ads in states where Obama is vulnerable, such as Florida. But Obamas early spending more than $30 million on advertising before Memorial Day and new glimmers of economic hope across the battleground states demonstrate the size of Romneys challenge. The race is expected to be close, and the past six weeks have been volatile. North Carolina is a case in point. Obama announced his support for gay marriage on May 9, one day after 60 percent of North Carolina voters approved a constitutional ban. That issue definitely hurts him down there, said veteran Republican presidential campaign strategist Charlie Black, a top aide to 2008 nominee McCain. Blacks not directly involved in this years race but is an
informal adviser to Romney. North Carolinas high African American and young voter population, keys to Obamas 2008 wins there, give him the edge, aides say. And the president so far has spent heavily there, $2.7 million on television, according to reports provided to the AP. But Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue gave Republicans an opening by not seeking re-election this year. And union leaders, a key Democratic constituency, are upset that this summers Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., is being held in a state where union rights are weak. In Wisconsin, embattled Republican Gov. Scott Walkers improving fortunes as a contentious June 5 recall election approaches could alter that states landscape. Walker, who sparked mass protests by signing anti-union legislation last year, has pulled narrowly ahead of Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in recent polls. If Walker survives, Romney aides say they have a real chance to carry Wisconsin, which no Republican has done since Ronald Reagan in 1984. I dont think theres been any better dress rehearsal for a presidential election than whats going on in Wisconsin right now, said Rich Beeson, political director for the former Massachusetts
governor. Indeed, the Wisconsin recall could signal a GOP shift in an arc of states from Iowa to Pennsylvania that have reliably voted Democratic in presidential elections for a generation. Whether Walker wins or doesnt is going to be a big indicator of how Wisconsin goes, and how the whole upper Midwest goes, said Iowas Republican Gov. Terry Branstad. Romney has signaled plans to contest Iowa, where Obamas 2008 caucus win propelled him to the Democratic nomination. Romney also sees opportunity in his native Michigan, where Democratic presidential candidates have won since 1988. Bright spots are developing for Obama, too. Public polls this month showed the president narrowly ahead in Virginia, a Southern
state Republicans had carried nine times before Obama won it in 2008. Obamas advantage among Latino voters is moving New Mexico his way. Neither campaign nor the super PACs have advertised there, despite close finishes in 2000 and 2004. Obama also has seized on new economic data that could give him a lift across the contested map. April unemployment ticked downward in all of the up-forgrabs states except Colorado as Obama and Romney have fought over who is best equipped to lead an economic recovery. In Des Moines, Iowa, this month, Romney blamed Obamas spending for the recoverys slow pace. A week later, on the other side of town, Obama said Romneys career as a private equity ex-
ecutive was more suited for the boardroom than the Oval Office. Obamas attack dovetails with scathing ads on Romneys career at the head of Bain Capital, which ran briefly in Colorado, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Virginia. They remained on the air last week in Ohio, where Obama aides say Romneys opposition to the auto industry bailout in 2009 hurts him with workers in the regions auto manufacturing sector. Obama has had an edge in getting out his message. For nearly two months, his campaign has aired spots across11states, heaviest in Florida, Iowa, Ohio and Virginia, according to the ad-tracking reports. Romney has only been airing ads for two weeks in four states. But super PACs that support him have helped shave Obamas advertising edge, airing $10 million in ads across 10 states. Obama aides point to an edge in state-by-state organizing that could be the deciding factor in a close election. While Romney is quickly arranging with the Republican National Committee to deploy staff to various battlegrounds, Obamas campaign has been up and running for years. Said Democratic strategist Devine: The president and his campaign have a real and potentially decisive advantage on the ground.

Talk in Congress equivalent to high school sophomores, study shows

By LISA MASCARO Tribune Washington Bureau (MCT)
WASHINGTON If it sounds like the debates in Congress have devolved into those of teenagers, its because they have. Discourse in the House and Senate has dropped a full grade level to the equivalent of high
school sophomore, according to a new study. Call this the dumbing down of Congress in a partisan age. Or a shift to plain-spoken populism ignited by the new class of tea party Republicans. But what has become clear in the new research is that the soar-

ing oratory that once filled the floors of the House and Senate with million-dollar diction and sophisticated syntax is making way for a more modest approach. Congress is changing as an institution, and what you see is more and more members gearing their speeches as sound bites or YouTube clips, said Lee Drutman, a senior fellow at the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation, which compiled the study.
You can (hark) back to a golden age of Congress when members quoted Shakespeare on the floor and really engaged in debate and talked to each other and tried to reason back and forth, he said. Consider Everett M. Dirksen, the legendary Republican senator from Illinois, who defended a civil rights bill in 1964 by paraphrasing 19th-century French writer Victor Hugo: Stronger

and Rehab at Kingston, located on Third Avenue, Kingston, surrounded by her loving family. Born May 6, 1922, in Kingston, she was the daughter of the late Edward and Sarah McGuire McGroarty. She was a graduate of the former Kingston High School. She resided in Pittston for many years. Prior to her retirement, she was employed as a personal secretary at the former Roth-American Toy Factory, Kingston.

than all the armies is an idea whose time has come. But that was then. In an analysis of floor debates over the last several years, the study found that newer lawmakers tended to speak at a lower grade level than the veterans of congressional oratory. And political moderates among Republicans and Democrats tended to carry on at a higher grade level than those more partisan liberals or conservatives. With that framework in mind, it should come as no surprise that the lawmakers at the bottom of the list, speaking at the lowest grade level, are among the most ardent tea party Republicans in the freshman class. Rep. Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina, Rep. Robert Woodall of Georgia and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky were the bottom three speaking at about an eighth-grade level, the study found. We look at it as a badge of honor, said Mulvaney, a graduate of Georgetown University and the University of North Carolina Law School, who notes that he often speaks on the floor extemporaneously. Its a conscious decision on my part. We are trying to be clear and trying to be concise, he added. He said he and his wife had been known to diagram sentences at the dinner table, a byproduct of having schoolteacher par-
ents. I can explain the difference between fewer and less, Mulvaney said, but he acknowledged that he still stumbled over the difference between farther and further. I dont think people see the polysyllabic words or the number of words in a sentence as a sign of your intelligence, he said. As a case in point, he cites fellow Republican Rep. Dan Lungren of California, a seasoned politician who topped the list as the lawmaker with the highest level of speech that of a college senior. That makes Lungren almost a throwback on par with the Federalist Papers (a 17.1 grade level) or the U.S. Constitution (17.8 grade level) though it is not clear his speeches are easier to understand. The canard that somehow we are tearing the Constitution up just does not stand any kind of inquiry whatsoever, Lungren said during a debate over the Patriot Act. The suggestion that somehow we are invading the civil liberties of citizens is negated by the language in the three sections of the bill that we have before us. Californians ranked among the better spoken overall, and the No. 2 slot went to Democratic Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard at almost a 16th-grade level.

Centralia: The 50-year battle

By MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press
Half a century ago today, a fire began under the small Pennsylvania town, setting off a relocation and a dispute that continues unabated
CENTRALIA Its an anniversary the few remaining souls who live here wont be celebrating. Fifty years ago today, a fire at the town dump ignited an exposed coal seam and still burns today. It set off a chain of events that eventually led to the demolition of nearly every building in Centralia a whole community of 1,400 simply gone. All these decades later, the Centralia fire maintains its grip on the popular imagination, drawing visitors from around the world who come to gawk at twisted, buckled Route 61, at the sulfurous steam rising intermittently from ground thats warm to the touch, at the empty, lonely streets where nature has reclaimed what coal-industry money once built. Its a macabre story that has long provided fodder for books, movies and plays the latest one debuting in March at a theater in New York. Yet to the handful of residents who still occupy Centralia, who keep their houses tidy and their lawns mowed, this borough in the mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania is no sideshow attraction. Its home, and theyd like to keep it that way. Thats all anybody wanted from day one, said Tom Hynoski, whos among the plaintiffs in a federal civil rights lawsuit aimed at blocking the state of Pennsylvania from evicting them. Centralia was already a coalmining town in decline when the fire department set the towns landfill ablaze on May 27,1962, in an ill-fated attempt to tidy up for Memorial Day. The fire wound up igniting the coal outcropping and, over the years, spread to the vast network of mines beneath homes and businesses, threatening residents with poisonous gases and dangerous sinkholes. After a contentious battle over

the future of the town, the side that wanted to evacuate won out. By the end of the 1980s, more than 1,000 people had moved and 500 structures demolished under a $42 million federal relocation program. But some holdouts refused to go even after their houses were seized through eminent domain in the early 1990s. They said the fire posed little danger to their part of town, accused government officials and mining companies of a plot to grab the rights to billions of dollars worth of anthracite coal, and vowed to stay put. After years of letting them be, state officials decided a few years ago to take possession of the homes. The state Department of Community and Economic Development said Friday its in negotiations with one of the five remaining homeowners; the others are continuing to resist, pleading their case in federal court.
Residents say the state has better things to spend its money on. A handwritten sign along the road blasts Gov. Tom Corbett, the latest chief executive to inherit a mess that goes back decades. You and your staff are making budget cuts everywhere, the sign says. How can you allow (the state) to waste money trying to force these residents out of their homes? These people want to pay their taxes and be left alone and live where they choose! Whether its safe to live there is subject to debate. Tim Altares, a geologist with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, said that while temperatures in monitoring boreholes are down possibly indicating the fire has followed the coal seam deeper underground the blaze still poses a threat because it has the potential to open up new paths for deadly gases to reach the re-

maining homes. Its very difficult to quantify the threat, but the major threat would be infiltration of the fire gases into the confined space of a residential living area. That was true from the very beginning and will remain true even after the fire moves out of the area, Altares said. Nonsense, say residents who point out theyve lived for decades without incident. Carl Womer, 88, whose late wife, Helen, was the leader of a faction that fiercely resisted the government buyout, disagrees the fire poses any threat. What mine fire? Womer
asked dismissively as he hosed down his front porch, preparing, he said, for a Memorial Day picnic. If you go up and see a fire, you come back and tell me. Author and journalist David DeKok, whos been writing about Centralia for more than 30 years, said that while he believes Womers house is too close to the fire to safely live there, Hynoski and his neighbors are far enough away. I dont think theres any great public safety problem in letting those people stay there, said DeKok, author of Fire Underground, a book on the town. Many former residents, mean-
while, prefer to talk about the good times, their nostalgia taking on a decidedly golden hue. I loved it. I always liked Centralia from the time I was old enough to understand what it was, said Mary Chapman, 72, who left in 1986 but returns once a month to the social club at the Centralia fire company. If you came out of your house and you couldnt get your car started, the neighbor would come out and hed help you. You didnt even have to ask, Chapman continued. Of course the neighbors knew your business, but they also were there to help you, too.

California-based SpaceX is first private company to send a vessel to the space station.
By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer
Astronauts enter 1st private supply ship

I spent quite a bit of time poking around in here this morning, just looking at the engineering and the layout, and Im very pleased, Pettit said from the brilliant white compartment. To protect against possible debris, Pettit wore goggles, a mask and a cavers light as he slid open the hatch of the newest addition to the International Space Station. The complex sailed 250 miles above the Tasman Sea, just west of New Zealand, as he and his crewmates made their grand entrance. The atmosphere was clean; no dirt or other particles were floating around. This event isnt just a simple door opening between two spacecraft it opens the door to a future in which U.S. industry can and will deliver huge benefits for U.S. space exploration, the Space Frontier Foundation, an advocacy group, said in a statement. The California-based SpaceX formally Space Exploration Technologies Corp. is the first private company to send a vessel to the space station. Its run by Elon Musk, a billionaire who helped create PayPal and founded the electric car company Tesla Motors. Now that the space shuttles are retired, NASA is handing over orbital delivery work to American business in order to focus on bigger and better objectives, such as getting astronauts to asteroids and Mars. The space agency
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Space station astronauts floated into the Dragon on Saturday, a day after its heralded arrival as the worlds first commercial supply ship. NASA astronaut Donald Pettit, the first one inside the docked capsule, said the Dragon looks like it carries about as much cargo as his pickup truck back home in Houston. It has the smell of a brand new car, he added.
hopes astronaut ferry trips will follow soon; SpaceX contends its Dragons could be carrying space station astronauts up and down within three or four years. Flight controllers were ecstatic to be at the cusp of this new commercial era. Its great to see you guys inside Dragon. It looks great, Mission Control radioed. The six space station residents have until the middle of next week to unload Dragons groceries and refill the capsule with science experiments and equipment for return to Earth. Unlike all the other cargo ships that fly to the orbiting lab, the Dragon is designed for safe re-entry. It will be freed on Thursday and aim for

When we purchase these products, its very difficult to know exactly where you are going to land, Frati said. Frati said cold patch also does not have a long shelf life and does not store well, so the city opts to make the purchases on an as-needed basis. He said the city researched prices on the Internet to ensure it was getting the lowest price on the purchases. We keep as close an eye on it as we can, but if we go over it, we go over, Frati said. Its not uncomThey did not know regulations require municipalities to look at the total aggregate cost, his said. Exeter Township was faulted for failing to obtain quotes for $7,377 in fuel purchases. Township secretary Mary Frances Martin said the township did not need quotes because the fuel purchase was made from a company that belongs to Costars, a state program that allows communities to purchase items without bidding. She said the problem is the township failed to note the vendors identification number on the invoice, therefore the expense was disallowed. mon for a city for the size of WilkesBarre to go over. Regarding the $14,894 asphalt purchase, Frati said the city obtained the asphalt from a company that is part of the COSTARS program,astateprogramthatincludes vendors who have been pre-approved to sell items to municipalities statewide. Purchases made from a COSTARS vendor do not have to be bid out. Frati said the vendor in this case, American Asphalt, was approved to sell certain items under COSTARS, but asphalt was not one of them.Thecitymistakenlybelieved that product was included, Frati said. Larksville faced a similar problem for $5,263 it spent on a truck that was purchased through Costars. The expense was disallowed because the borough did not properly document the purchase was made through the program. Freeland Acting Secretary Anna Marie Durange said the borough had disputed the auditors findings that it did not bid out $13,900 purchase for concrete. She believed the item had been bid out but was not able to locate the paperwork for the audit. She has since found the records and is meeting with the auditor next week to provide the documentation.
VIOLATIONS
with money from the state liquid fuels tax fund, according to audit reports released in January. The money, which comes from a state fund that collects taxes on fuels, is paid to communities each year by the state Department of Transportation. Municipalities can use the money for certain equipment purchases and road and bridge work, but they must follow regulations that require bids for any purchase more than $10,000, and quotes for any purchase more
than $4,000. If a community fails to do so, the expenses will be disallowed. Mayor Tom Leighton noted the money in question was not lost by the city as it did not have to pay the funds back to the state. Under the liquid fuels program, each community is required to maintainaseparatefundformoney it gets from the state. If regulations are violated, the state can require the municipality to reimburse that fund from general fund revenues. That means projects that would have been paid by state dollars are instead paid by the municipality. Leighton said its not a loss, however, because those funds can be used made from the fund. Kingston Township had the most significant finding, with $40,047 in equipment purchases being disallowed. The township was followed by Wilkes-Barre city, $29,976; West Pittston, $15,238; Freeland, $13,900, Exeter Township, $7,377 and Larksville, $5,263. Under the liquid fuels program, each community is required to maintain a separate fund for money it gets from the state. If regulations are violated, the Department of Transportation can require the municipality to reimburse its liquid fuels fund from general fund
for future projects that fall within the liquid fuels fund guidelines. The audit questioned five individual purchases of cold patch that were made between Jan. 31 and June 9 of 2009. Four of the purchases, which equaled roughly $2,400 each, were made between Jan. 31 and March 31. The aggregate total equaled $9,993, just $7 less than $10,000 thresholdforbidding.Thefifthpurchase of $5,087, which would require price quotes, was made on June 9, for a total purchase of $15,082. Leighton and Butch Frati, the citys director of operations, acknowledged the audits findings, revenues. Officials in several of the communities acknowledged they made mistakes, but they said the errors were an oversight and not an intentional attempt to thwart bidding requirements. Kingston Township was faulted for failing to obtain bids for a plow, three spreaders, inlet boxes for storm sewers and pipe in 2009 and 2010. Secretary Kathleen Sebastian said the township mistakenly believed it did not have to seek bids for the equipment because each item was less than $10,000, which is below the state threshold.
buttheyinsistedthecitywasnotattempting to piecemeal the purchase. The Department of Transportation requires each municipality to make a good faith estimate of how much material it will need in a given year to determine if the material is subject to bidding requirements. If the cost exceeds the bidding threshold, the entire cost will be disallowed as a liquid fuels expenditure unless the municipality can show it reasonably believed it would not exceed the threshold. Frati said the city attempts to estimate how much cold patch, which is used to fill potholes, it will need each year. Thats difficult beThe problem, she said, is the townships charter requires it to obtain three quotes for purchases over $2,500. Sebastian said the township mistakenly believed that, since it was state money, it had to abide the by state regulations, rather than the townships charter. In West Pittston, the auditor general disallowed expenditures of $7,990 for two snow plows and $7,248 for two spreaders. Borough Manager Savino Bonito said the public works department mistakenly believed it did not have to obtain quotes because each plow and spreader cost less than $4,000.

Arrest in 1979 case a shocker

By DAVID B. CARUSO Associated Press
The possible resolution of a boys disappearance brings new surprises.
Families try to cope with missing child

By ALLEN G. BREED AP National Writer
Break in Patz disappearance gives others hope

When Judy Moore heard that the Patzes second-guess their decision to let Etan walk to the bus stop alone that day, she wept. Youre reading my mind, she says, the tears coming afresh. Moore, 55, had lost one prematurely born baby at 5 weeks. A judge had given custody of her two older children to her parents because her epilepsy made it difficult for her to care for them, she says. Kelly, her baby, was all she had left. Moore and Kellys father, Bobby Hollan, were divorced. On Feb.12,1982, mother and her son were living with Moores boyfriend in the eastern Kentucky mountains. Kelly had the day off from kindergarten and was begging to go outside and play. After about two hours, Moore says, she relented. She sat on the bed and watched him out the window for a while. A couple of hours later, she went to a neighbors house to talk to her sister on the telephone. When she came back home from the call, she says, Kelly was gone. Moore assumed he was up the road at his friend Gordons house. When Kelly didnt come home for supper, she went looking for him. Police brought out a cadaver dog. No trace was ever found. Moore says she stopped contacting the police years ago. They keep trying to get me to confess to murder, she says incredulously. I understand that theres mothers out there that do things like this. It makes me sick. She says her other two children believe the rumors. They are estranged. She believes Kelly is still alive. If not, she takes comfort in the thought that he is one of Gods little angels. I shouldnt have let him go out in the yard and play that day, she says through her tears. But I did. Its just stuff that we do, and we cant take it back. I wish we could, but we cant.
NEW YORK When police dug up a Manhattan basement last month in a fruitless search for the remains of Etan Patz, a 6-yearold boy who disappeared in 1979, Lucy Suarez saw the news on TV and wished that the family of the missing child would finally get some peace. My sister and I prayed about it. We prayed and we said, Let justice be done, Suarez said. Never did we think it was going to be done with our family. On Friday, her older brother was charged with Etans murder. Police said Pedro Hernandez, a 51-year-old, churchgoing father described by some friends as quiet and timid, had given an emotional confession earlier in the week to luring the little boy away from his school bus stop with a promise of a soft drink, and then strangling him in the basement of a convenience store where he had been working as a stock clerk. The admission surprised investigators, who had been confounded by the disappearance for three decades and never considered Hernandez a suspect until this month. Just weeks ago, they had focused their attention on another man, and even ripped up a basement he had once used as a workshop in the hope of finding clues. Suarez said her family is reeling, too, despite having had concerns for years that her brother had once done something bad to a child. Hernandez, now living in Maple Shade, N.J., was 18 when Etan vanished. When he moved to New Jersey not long after the disappearance, he said something to relatives about having hurt a child back in New York. Suarez said her brother never spoke to her directly about what had happened, and the familys knowledge of the incident was vague. He didnt say, I killed somebody, she said. My conclusion was that it was a hit and run, or he hit someone with a bike. Nothing like a murder. Suarez said she was shocked to find out about his arrest early Thursday, but another of the suspects sisters, Norma Hernandez, said at least some relatives had heard something far more horrifying about what he had done. In the 1980s, she said, Pedro had confessed to a church prayer group that he had killed a boy. Norma Hernandez said she didnt have firsthand knowledge of this confession, and didnt learn about it until later. If she had known, she said, she would have turned her brother in. Even if it is my own child I will go to the police station and say, Youd better check them out, she said. Id consider the mother and her child and her wondering what happened to her child. The people who heard him confess shouldve said something even if it wasnt true, she said. A defense lawyer told a judge Friday that Hernandez suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and had a history of hallucinations. Suarez said she knew her brother had been taking psychiatric medications, but said she didnt think he had been debilitated by mental illness, and wasnt aware that he had been hallucinating.
After 33 years, someone has confessed to killing 6-year-old Etan Patz. And people immediately start speaking of closure. Patty Wetterling hates the word. Since 1989, she and her husband have writhed in the same hell as Stan and Julie Patz. Whatever path they might have been on, it was irrevocably altered that October evening when a masked man walked away with their 11-year-old boy, Jacob. Once youre a victim of a crime like this, your life takes a very different direction, the St. Joseph, Minn., woman says. It doesnt really close anything, because everything just became different from that point on. But it does provide answers. Thanks to the wonders of modern computer graphics, these parents can watch their children age digitally, at least. But no one can write a program capable of generating the milestones high school graduation, college, marriage, parenthood that come along with growing up. Some, like Mike and Maddi Misheloff of Dublin, Calif., exist in a kind of suspended animation, unwilling to move or even redecorate the lost ones bedroom. Many, like the Patzes, live with the what ifs. What if they hadnt given in to his please, hadnt let him make his first solo walk to the school bus stop that May day in 1979? A few suffer under a cloud of suspicion themselves like Judy Moore of Jackson, Ky., whose 6-year-old son, Kelly, disappeared in 1982 while playing in the snow. Back when Etan vanished, authorities put the childrens faces

on milk cartons. Today, their names and images flash across the Internet and digital highway signs. It is a horrifying truth that the best some families can hope for is that their child is being held against their will, says activist John Walsh. Before her rescue in 2009, Jaycee Dugard was repeatedly raped and gave birth to two daughters during 18 years of captivity at the hands of a known sex offender in California. Still, her mother could eventually put her arms around her again, says Walsh, host of televisions Americas Most Wanted. Against all hope and reality, every now and then a child comes back alive, says Walsh, whose 6-year-old son, Adam, was abducted from a Florida department store in July 1981 and murdered. So thats why these people keep their rooms and their phone numbers, because its part of the staying mentally sane. Its part of the being able to cope with the worst possible thing
that could ever happen to you your beautiful, loving child disappears. Through his show, Walsh has helped capture more than 1,200 criminals and bring home about 60 missing children. He knows the Patzes and has shared their heartache each time a lead evaporated, and one breakthrough after another ended in disappointment. My wife has a wonderful saying, says Walsh. Its like a mortal wound that you dont die from. It heals over and it has a scab on it. And events like that crack it open, and it bleeds. Itll never die. Across America, as the Patzes wait to see if they will at last get justice for Etan, parents hearts are bleeding anew.
Parents wait for Ilene With their other two children grown and out on their own, the Misheloffs house is a bit too big for them. But they wouldnt dream of moving while there is still a chance that Ilene might re- Youre reading my mind
turn. She has to come back to HER house, her father says. This is her home, his wife agrees. We have to be here for her. They have left their daughters room just as it was on Jan. 30, 1989 the day she vanished. Not as a shrine, Maddi Misheloff says, but simply because, Its her room. And on the daily hope that were getting her back, she says. Ilene was 13 when she disappeared on her way home from Wells Middle School to change into her figure-skating clothes. Her family had gotten permission for her to leave while everyone else was in last period. The couple have been in contact with police off and on since Ilenes disappearance. But they havent heard anything since the beginning of the year, when the lead investigator was promoted and a new detective took his place.

Aura Rhanes: It was love at first flight
By MARY THERESE BIEBEL

s they walked out onto the dance floor last weekend, Wendell Bass tenderly brushed the veil from his brides face and gathered her into his arms. The DJ put on a song by the Australian pop duo Savage Garden, and soon Wendell and the former Sandra Anzalone OGorman were swaying in time with the oh-so-appropriate lyrics: I think I found my best friend I think I dreamed you into my life.
Finally happy. Finally happy, the bride would murmur later to the many well-wishers who gathered around the couple at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 283 in Kingston. But first there was much dancing to be done, with friends of all ages sharing the couples joy. As the soundtrack from Grease and ABBAs Dancing Queen filled the room, 5-year-old Kyla Kon skipped around in her flip-flops and the brides uncle John Baur, who is 76, cut a rug
with his wife, Lena. Perhaps most poignantly, the brides three daughters joined their mother and new father on the floor. The movements came easily to 18-year-old Suzanne and 20-year-old Jamie but were more of a challenge for 21-year-old Samantha, who nevertheless got out of her wheelchair and, supported by friend of the family Michael Hagan, joined in. Samantha, who was born with a conSee VOWS, Page 2B

MEET JUSTIN MILLER
ustin Miller is the owner of Green Planet Lawn Care. Miller, 38, graduated from Lake-Lehman High School and attended Luzerne County Community College. Justin and his wife, Tarra, live in Plains Township with their yellow Labrador, Bill.
When you were in high school what jobs did you do and how did your rise into the world of lawn care come about? I cut grass and did weeding for neighbors when I was a young kid. Once I was in high school, I started to do jobs beyond the lawn care realm. I worked at Price Chopper, Chilis and Burlington Coat Factory to name a few. I was also a cook and chef. In 2006 I worked for a major lawn care company as a technician and sales representative and learned a great deal about the business. I always wanted to run a business of my own like my father did. I started Green Planet in 2009 and it went into full swing. How did the name Green Planet come into existence? That one is on my mom. We were sitting at the dinner table one evening and she came up with Planet Green. We just reversed it and Green Planet was born. We go with the slogan that we are growing a greener
planet one lawn at a time. What are the driving forces behind your enthusiasm for your job? What inspires or motivates you? I have such an extremely high level of energy every morning. Its different than when I was working for someone. I get up at 5 a.m. and Im ready to go. I also get a real rush when I bring in new business or it comes to me. Who has inspired you the most through the years? My mother and father all the way. They have stuck by me throughout my life and my decisions. I am motivated after seeing them thrive in business ownership and their work. Of course my wife has seen me through thick and thin, too. She has been by my side the whole time since starting up the Green Planet. So do you have a love of wide open spaces or parks since they seem to be part of the Northeastern Pennsylvania area? I want to see the parks taken care of better. Parks like Kirby need to continue to grow and have more events. It is a vital part of the area. I miss the paddle boats that used to be on the lake at Kirby Park. Frances Slocum Park is another park I love to visit with my wife. I just want to see them improve or be maintained with care. What else would you like to see improved in the area? The beautiful lamp posts that are downtown should adorn more than just
the heart of the city. They should extend to other areas around the square and beyond to light up the city and help prevent crime. That would be nice. In entertainment what do you enjoy? I love to go to the R-C Theaters. I really like movies. Some of my favorites include Clear and Present Danger and Star Wars. On television I enjoy Seinfeld, The Big Bang Theory and Gold Rush on the Discovery Channel. I like classic rock music such as Led Zeppelin. Outside of the NEPA area where have you gone that you enjoyed or where would you like to travel to? We like to visit the Jersey Shore. It is a fun time to bring our dog there. We want to visit London very much. A friend of mine lives there and he makes me want to visit when he describes things there. What would you say is your proudest moment professionally or personally? When I got married to my wife in Hawaii and when we got our yellow lab puppy, Bill. If you had to sum up yourself or sell yourself to someone. What would you say? I am a people person and even if I do not know you I would like to. I dont shut down. I like to sell myself and be friendly to put someone at ease.

ura Rhanes was one amazing woman. She was beautiful, well traveled, a whiz at technology and afraid of nothing. But I knew that any relationship was doomed from the start. After all, I was a nerdy high school kid and she was the intrepid captain of an intergalactic flying saucer. Let me explain. In the late 1940s, Americans began seeing strange circular crafts and mysterious lights sailing across the skies. Before long, the terms flying saucer and UFO became part of everyday vocabulary. Of course journalists quickly began cranking out articles and books explaining the phenomenon, some of them alleging that the U.S. government was covering up the truth about these apparitions. Before long some enterprising guys were claiming they had met humanoids whod disembarked from the saucers. The spacemen always brought a nice message of world peace, but never managed to explain why they chose to appear before nonentities in the southwestern desert rather than drop down on the mall in Washington, D.C. Anyway, I devoured book after book with pictures of strange-looking craft on the cover and made it a point to see every movie with saucers in the title. The high point came one day at the Osterhout Free Library in the late 1950s when I found a book entitled Aboard a Flying Saucer (Who could resist that?) by Truman Bethurum. That was where Aura came into my life. Bethurum said he was out in the Nevada desert one day, looking for fossils, when a saucer about 300 feet wide landed. A couple of male crewmen emerged, made friends with him and, instead of asking to see his leader, took him to meet their captain. Naturally they spoke the Kings English, telling him We have no trouble with any language. Within a couple of pages I was ready to sign up for the space academy. It was love at first flight. Commander Aura Rhanes turned out to be a striking woman in a red-and-black uniform, topped off with a stylish beret. The woman captain said she was from the planet Clarion, Bethurum wrote, which could not be seen from Earth. Of course the book included the usual lecture to readers on the superior society that had evolved elsewhere in the cosmos with no wars no strife, and no juvenile delinquency. Balderdash, I thought. A society that would let you travel the universe in the company of an Aura Rhanes was superior enough for me. Suddenly I knew my dream job. Lt. Mooney, I have personally chosen you to accompany me on our exploration of the newly discovered Galaxy X347. You may rely on me, Commander Rhanes. Of course, lieutenant, we will be alone together day and night for at least 40 years of your antiquated Earth time. Commander, I am prepared for any sacrifice. Lead on. Well, times change and Bethurums book is forgotten. So what brought on this memory of Aura after many decades? Not long ago I spotted a strangeshaped craft moving slowly and silently across the sky. Having lost the innocence of the 1950s, I immediately looked up drones online and found that this thing bore a suspicious resemblance to a common drug-seeking unmanned plane. Score one for the dull rationality of 2012. But no disrespect to you, Aura (or maybe your granddaughter). Youre still my lady of the stars.

was a keeper. I never knew another father, daughter Suzanne OGorman said during the wedding reception. Hes awesome, Samantha said. Wendell, 46, who is from Texas, and Sandra, 44, who is from the West Side, discovered each other in the late 1990s, becoming email pen pals before the Internet was huge. The pair knew in the beginning they both loved music and the outdoors; eventually they met and realized they loved each other. Wendell admits hes kind of shy, but he does say he enjoys living in Northeastern Pennsylvania where he finds the people caring and friendly. Just the other day, in fact, he was out by the familys handicap-accessible van and a neighbor came over, eager to help. None was needed; Wendell was only checking the air pressure in the tires. Still, he was grateful. Wendell proposed to Sandra on June 7, 2011. The couple exchanged vows May 19 at the Forty Fort United Methodist Church, where the bride was escorted up the aisle by her father, John Anzalone Sr., as well as Ha-

dition called non-communicating hydrocephalus, is a veteran of 120 operations. She requires shunts in her brain and spine to remove excess fluids and faces cerebral palsy, short-term memory loss, frequent blood clots and loss of peripheral vision. Her medical problems have been a challenge for the family. Weve had to live with our bag packed, knowing we might have to go to Hershey Medical Center again, said Sandra, the bride, who also has dealt with years of her own painful health issues, among them ulcerative colitis, Crohns disease and arthritis. Adding to the difficulties, Sandra had to raise her girls as a single mother after the end of a brief, less-than-happy marriage. Enter Wendell, who was not frightened by any of this. Wendell stayed by my side, Sandra said. He would hold my hand to help me through painful spasms. She knew he was a keeper. In fact, the whole family knew he
gan, the family friend who sort of adopted us after teaching Samantha when she was in sixth grade. A light luncheon and reception followed at the Kingston VFW, where friends rejoiced that the couple had found each other. Theres a lot of love between them, Rachele Brennan of Kingston said. She deserves all the happiness in the world, said Lisa Troth of Kingston, who has known the bride since they were students at Wyoming Valley West High School together. The medical challenges are always a part of my mind, Sandra said. But I felt God was watching over all of us (on our wedding day) because everything went so smooth and perfect. Each of the girls made a speech. When Samantha took the mic, she thanked God that she finally has a father for the first time in her life and shes so happy to see me happy and her sisters happy, the bride said. For her to come off with all that, that was truly, truly a miracle.

WILKES-BARRE: The Jewish Federation of Greater Wilkes-Barre presented the premiere showing of the documentary An Article of Hope to our community last year. This hour-long documentary explores the journey of a tiny Torah scroll from pre-World War II Europe to Israel and then to space. Combining historical and ethical inquiry, the film reaches across faiths and nationalities to tell a truly human story. Director Dan Cohen is hoping to bring An Article of Hope to network television on PBS. A Kickstarter campaign has been started to raise $50,000 in underwriting of the total amount needed to complete the agreement with the network. There is little time left to obtain the additional funding needed in this all or nothing effort. If the goal for the campaign is reached, the necessary funding will be secured, if not everything is cancelled and nobody gets charged.

Coughlins Hayward good as gold

Crusader senior wins 300 hurdles in Class 3A
By PAUL SOKOLOSKI psokoloski@timesleader.com
PIAA TRACK & FIELD
PAUL SOKOLOSKI
OPINION
This is the most amazing thing Ive ever done.

Dannah Hayward
SHIPPENSBURG After easily clearing her final hurdle and sprinting as fast as her powerful legs could carry her toward state gold, Dannah Hayward couldnt resist taking one last leap. She jumped right into the arms of her jubilant mother. I did it! I did it! I did it! Hayward shouted through tears of glee. She sure did.
Using an aggressive kick down the homestretch to build an insurmountable lead, Hayward brought another state track and field gold medal to Coughlin High School by capturing the PIAA Class 3A girls 300-meter hurdles Saturday in a time of 43.37 seconds. Amazing, said Hayward, who pumped both fists as she crossed the finish line first. Ive never felt this way before. This is the most amazing thing Ive ever done. For two years, she was saddled
behind Coughlins former star hurdler Shelley Black, who now competes for Penn State after winning three state hurdling championships over the past two years. But Hayward not only followed in Blacks footsteps, she carved some of her own. Its just great to see Dannah get her day in the sun, Coughlin coach Paul McGrane said. Its a wonder Hayward didnt get sun-baked in the scorching, 89-degree weather that had some com-
petitors wilting at Seth Grove Stadium. But Hayward finished with a whoosh, and whisked away her gold medal with an amazing finish. The District 2 champion held a slight lead coming into the final turn and seemingly increased it with each stride over the last two hurdles down the final straightaway. She then held off hard-charging

Success story continues for Hanover group

he names come jumping off the pages from the past, like some old All-Star lineup that blew down the hill from the Hanover Little League field four years ago and wound up in the Hanover Area High School dugout. Jack Windt and Matt Kuhl began another run at making history, and so did John Wickiser and Christian Pack. They were all Little League teammates back in the summer of 2008, when they played big parts for a special youth team that brought Hanover its first District 16 Little League championship and came so close to winning the state sectionals. Now they are back in district play, trying to help make history with Hanover Area in the District 2 tournament. I dont have any doubts in my mind, Hanover Area coach Mike Zapotoski said, if we play like we can, we can win our first district title since 1994. Neither do his players, especially the guys who have been playing in big games since they were much younger kids. We still have most of the guys here, Windt said. None of us have changed. The game changed a little for them, because the distances got longer and the fields got bigger from their Little League days. But their penchant for handling pressure also grew. I just love this adrenaline, Pack said. He was the little kid on that Little League title team, an 11-year-old in a lineup of 12-year-olds. And Pack is the only freshman who cracked Hanover Areas starting lineup this year. But he was the first one to drive in a run Thursday during Hanover Areas first District 2 Class 2A playoff game, an 8-4 victory over Lakeland that sent the unbeaten Hawkeyes into Tuesdays district semifinals against Holy Redeemer. These playoffs are a little more challenging (than Little League), Pack said. These kids are grown-up. Those Hanover kids are still playing big, though. Windt, who was one of the big hitters lifting Hanover to a Little League championship, drilled a run-scoring double in the first inning against Lakeland, then picked up a bad-hop single before scoring in the fifth inning. Kuhls crashing double to left field brought his old friend home, completing a two-run rally that answered a four-run outburst by Lakeland. And for good measure, Wickiser added a spectacular diving stab of a line drive to end the third inning. Its a bigger feeling, Windt, a now a high school sophomore, said while comparing this district playoff victory to the ones his father Jack coached back in Little League. You get more out of a win. Theres more to play for. They have played their way to a 13-0 season as the only Wyoming Valley Conference team still unbeaten. That run of success for a young team may have surprised a lot of people around District 2. It didnt astonish the guys who have been through it before. I knew some of the names, Zapotoski said, talking about his roster of past Little League heroes. That doesnt always equal high school success. But theyre all baseball players. Thats all they do is play baseball. Im done being surprised with these guys. Nobody expected an inexperienced bunch of Hawkeyes could go through a season undefeated, all the way to the brink of a high school district title. But when it comes to believing in impossible dreams, some of these guys have done this job before.

Boston prevails to face Miami in Eastern final
It may seem like a lofty goal: transform the ice hockey program at an area prep school into a national powerhouse. Thats the plan at Wyoming Seminary. And the school just recruited a few of the top hockey minds in the area to help them do it. On Tuesday, Wyoming Seminary named Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins CEO Jeff Barrett as its director of Barrett hockey operations and former graduate and hockey standout Joshua Morgan as its new head coach. Barrett has more than 20 years of experience in the areas of team and facility management, and has been overseeing the operation of the Penguins since the teams inception in May 1998, first serving as president of the American Hockey League franchise before being promoted

Andretti sets personal goals for Indy 500

INDIANAPOLIS Marco Andretti knows how much heartache his family has suffered at Indianapolis Motor INDY 500 Speedway. He needs 11 a.m. today no reminders that ABC IndyCar could use an American superstar, and with his famous last name, he is quite aware of the hope that maybe he can be the one to elevate this attentionstarved series. None of that matters to Andretti as he heads into the Indianapolis 500. He believes he can win todays race its going to be our race to lose, he said and he wants it, badly. But Andretti wants it for himself, for his own career, and not because of what it would mean

Celtics hold off Phillys upset bid

85 75
BOSTON Oh, what could have been. Throughout the seven-game series between the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics, offensive efficiency was scarce and scoring was almost an afterthought. Though scratching and clawing to the final buzzer Saturday night at TD Garden, the Sixers improbable run through the playoffs came to an end with an 85-75 loss to the Celtics, who will now face the Miami Heat in the
plays by guard Jrue Holiday. First, Holiday snuck behind Kevin Garnett after the center had corralled a defensive rebound, poked the ball away and made an acrobatic layup. He then made a steal at the other end and fed Andre Iguodala for a dunk and a onepoint deficit. CELTICS 76ERS Holiday got himself yet another steal on the Celtics ensuing possesEastern Conference Finals starting sion and again fed Iguodala, who was streaking down the court. Iguodala Monday in Miami. Trailing by 53-45 in the third quar- got fouled on his drive. With a chance ter, the Sixers used a 7-0 run to get to within 53-52, keyed by two fabulous See NBA, Page 6C

PHILLIES PROSPECTS
Nuno shows signs of development

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com
Lee trade starting to show dividends

The top pitching prospect in the Yankees organization is left-hander Manny Banuelos. Another left-hander with potential just made his Double-A debut for Trenton, where Banuelos spent most of his 2011 season. Vidal Nuno, a 24-year-old, pitched four two-hit innings for the Thunder in a 3-2 win over Akron. Nuno was signed by the Yankees in 2011 after being drafted by Cleveland in 2009 in the 48th round (1,445 overall) and was released prior to the 2011 campaign. Before the promotion to Trenton, Nuno was 1-1 with a 2.96 ERA for Tampa with 26 strikeouts in 2413 innings. He had good control for Tampa, only walking six. But in his debut with the Thunder, he walked four. Dating back to his days in the Indians organization, hes always had good command and with some pitchers in the Yankees system having control issues, he can soon become a hot commodity. Here are the New York Yankees top-10 prospects according to MLB.com. 1. Manny Banuelos, LHP, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (TripleA): The left-hander was placed back on the disabled list last week. In six starts for Yankees, hes 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA and 22 Ks in 24 innings. 2. Dellin Betances, RHP, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (TripleA): The 6-foot-8, 260-pound righty has struggled with control at times this season, including in a loss last week to Columbus. On the season, hes 2-4 with a 5.59 ERA, 41 strikeouts and 42 walks in 46 23 innings. 3. Gary Sanchez, catcher, Charleston (A): The 19-year-old is coming down to earth after a torrid start for the RiverDogs. He was hitting well over .300 earlier in the season and currently sits at .303. He has belted three home runs and knocked in 20 to go along with eight stolen bases in 11 chances. 4. Mason Williams, outfielder, Charleston (A): The fourthround selection in 2010 is batting .288 for the RiverDogs this season with three home runs and 17 RBI. The 20-year-old is also a speedster with three triples, 10 doubles and 12 stolen bases. 5. Jose Campos, RHP, Charleston (A): A 19-year-old acquired as part of the Michael Pineda-Jesus Montero trade in the offseason was off to a good start before getting roughed up in an outing and being placed on the D.L. with elbow inflammation. 6. Slade Heathcott, outfielder, TBA: The 2009 first-round draft pick is currently in extended spring training rehabbing a shoulder injury that sidelined him for the end of the 2011 season. Hes expected to play his first game of 2012 on June 5 with High-A Tampa. 7. Austin Romine, catcher, TBA: A 23-year-old who was expected to be with Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre this season, he is currently on the disabled list with an inflamed disc in his back and is not expected back until at least July. 8. Dante Bichette Jr., third base, Charleston (A): The Yankees first pick in 2011 (51st overall) is batting .250 for the RiverDogs with six extra-base hits and 15 RBI. Hes starting to get things together, reaching base in 10 straight games including his first three-hit game of the season in a 3-for-6 effort on Thursday. 9. Cito Culver, shortstop, Charleston (A): A first-round pick in 2010 (32 overall), the 19-year-old switch-hitter has reached base in 11 straight games. Hes only hitting .237 (9-for-38) in the span, but hes scored eight runs, drawn eight walks, stolen four bases and has an on base percentage of .378 in that time. 10. Adam Warren, RHP, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (TripleA): He was hit with his third loss of the season his last time out when he gave up four runs in 5 23 innings to Buffalo. For the season, hes 2-3 with a 5.14 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 49 innings.
Montrose grad Thompson back in the majors
AP PHOTO
Tampa Bay Rays Rich Thompson, a Montrose High School graduate, bats against the Toronto Blue Jays during Wednesdays game in St. Petersburg, Fla. Thompson, who has spent the majority of his career in the minors, was called up earlier this month.
After eight years and 24 days in the minor leagues, Montrose High School grad Rich Thompson finally made it back to the major leagues. Earlier this month, he was traded from the Phillies organization to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays, who are in need of outfield help with three players on the disabled list, immediately called up the 33-year-old who has stolen 442 bases in 1,388 minor league games. While hes not the top hitter for Tampa, hes given a spark to the club, which is managed by fellow Northeast Pennsylvanian Joe Maddon. He laced his first major league hit and RBI in a loss to the Red Sox the day he was called up. Then just last week, he helped the Rays pull out a 5-4 win over Toronto in 11 innings
A RAY OF HOPE FINALLY ARRIVES

when he scored the first run of his career in the bottom of the 11th. He led off the inning by getting hit by a pitch by Darren Oliver. With one out, he scored from first on a double by B.J. Upton when the ball lined to the outfield and banged off the left field wall. That gave the speedy Thompson the opportunity to wheel around the bases. He even caught some of his teammates off guard with his speed. They said they didnt realize I could run that well, Thompson said to reporters after the game. But its something thats kept me in the game for a while now and Im glad that it paid off right there. Earlier in his at-bat, Thompson thought a pitch from Oliver hit him and started walking towards first base, but he was called back to the plate and then was hit a few pitches later. It barely grazed me, Thompson said. I might have imagined it. A-JAK PRODUCING For the first two seasons after the trade that sent Curtis Granderson from the Tigers to the Yankees and Austin Jackson to Detroit, the Yankees seemed to be getting the best of the deal. After all, Jackson was hailed as one of the top prospects in the organization before the deal. But in his first two years with Detroit he didnt live up to the expectations and there was even talk that the outfielder might be sent to the minors. This season, though, the 25-year-old is making the trade pay off for the Tigers. Prior to hitting the disabled list last week, he was fourth in the American League and 12th in all of baseball with a .331
batting average. That goes along with five home runs, 17 RBI, six stolen bases and an on base percentage of .414. Hes currently on the D.L. with a groin injury and is expected to be back around June 1. In his lone season for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in 2009, Jackson hit .300, stole 24 bases and slammed four home runs and nine triples to account for some of his 204 total bases. MONTERO A TOP ROOKIE Former SWB Yankee Jesus Montero is having a good year for the Seattle Mariners. The catcher leads all American League rookies in home runs (6), RBI (22), games played (42), at-bats (155) and hits (39). He is fourth among rookies with a .252 batting average.
DISTRICT 2S PRESENCE IN PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL
Russ Canzler, Hazleton Area, Columbus (Cleveland, Triple-A): The Hazleton native is starting to get on track for the Clippers. The 26-year-old had an eight-game hitting streak snapped Friday night. During the streak, he had also hit safely in nine out of 10 games for a .378 average (14-for-37). To date for the Clippers, after a slow start, hes now hitting .274 with three home runs, 13 RBI and a .324 on base percentage. The reigning International League Most Valuable Player was originally 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 in this offseason.
Cory Spangenberg, Abington Heights, Lake Elsinore (San Diego, Class A advanced): The No. 10 overall pick last June by the Padres is currently on a roll for the Storm. After beginning the season slowly, the No. 6 overall prospect in the Padres system according to MLB.com has four multiple hit games in his last 11. For the season, the left-handed batting second baseman is hitting .286 with 15 stolen bases in 20 attempts to go along with three triples, nine doubles and 26 RBI in 46 games. After 2011, he was rated by Baseball America as having the best strike-zone discipline in the Padres organization. To date, he has walked eight times and struck out 34 times in 192 at-bats.
Ray Black, Coughlin, San Francisco (extended Spring Training): Black is nursing a shoulder injury which arose at the end of Spring Training and hes been sidelined for about two months while in extended spring training in Scottsdale, Ariz. He threw a bullpen session on Thursday and said It was the first time Ive thrown this year without pain or soreness. The 21-year-old is expected to throw another session on Monday then throw live batting practice after that. If all goes well, he hopes to get into game action in Arizona soon after that. The seventh-round draft pick (237th overall) out of the University of Pittsburgh last June is hoping to get in an extended spring game after Mondays outing. From there, hes hoping to join the Short Season SalemKeizer Volcanoes in Oregon which begins play on June 14 or the Low Class A team in Augusta or possibly join the Arizona Rookie League Giants.
Rich Thompson, Montrose, Tampa Bay Rays: The 33-year-old is finally getting a shot in the major leagues. He only has one hit in 11 at-bats for the Rays, but hes making an impact on the base paths. He has picked up two stolen bases, scored a run and knocked in a run. Earlier this 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 and an on-base percentage of .390 for the IronPigs. Originally drafted in the sixth round by the Blue Jays in 2000 out of James Madison, he is now playing for his seventh organization. He helped Tampa beat the Blue Jays, scoring the gamewinning run in the bottom of the 11th inning last week. His last taste of the majors came in 2004 for the Royals where he received his only big league at-bat prior to last week.
Kyle McMyne, Old Forge, Bakersfield (Cincinnati, Class A Advanced): Taken by the Reds in the fourth round (145 overall) of last years draft out of Villanova, the right-handed reliever was promoted to Class A Advanced Bakersfield last week. Before his promotion in Low A Dayton, he threw in 24 1 3 innings with 22 strikeouts and just eight walks. He was 3-2 with a 2.59 ERA in 18 appearances. The 22-year-old hasnt made an appearance yet for the Blaze. In his time for Dayton, he held opponents to a .215 batting average and only allowed one home run.
Phillies fans dont hear many good things about the trade in 2009 that sent Cliff Lee to the Mariners for three prospects. Finally, one of the prospects is starting to make leaps. Fleet outfielder Tyson Gillies, who missed most of the last two seasons with a hamstring injury, is finally healthy and helping out Double-A Reading. Gillies has played in 41 games this season for the R-Phils, which is more than the previous two seasons combined. Hes hitting .275 on the season with two home runs, 15 RBI, six triples and seven stolen bases. He has hit safely in six straight with five multiple hits in the span. Last week, he hit .500 (12-for-24) and belted three triples in two games. Here are Philadelphias top 10 prospects according to MLB.com and how they are faring in 2012. 1. Trevor May, RHP, Reading (Double-A): He had his first rough outing of the season last week, allowing seven runs in just two innings as his ERA jumped from 2.91 to 4.10. 2. Jesse Biddle, LHP, Clearwater (A-Advanced): He threw his longest outing of the season last week when he allowed just one run on six hits in seven innings of a no-decision. After a slow start, the 20-year-old top draft pick in 2010 has allowed just four runs in his last 25 23 innings. For the season, hes 2-2 with 43 strikeouts in 43 13 innings. 3. Brody Colvin, RHP, Clearwater (A-Advanced): He was hit with his fourth loss of the season last week when he gave up four runs in four innings. To date for the Threshers, he has a 5.64 ERA with a 2-4 record to go with 33 strikeouts and 30 walks in 44 23 innings. 4. Larry Greene, first base, TBA: The first-round pick from last June has yet to play in a professional game. The 19-yearold is currently in extended spring training. 5. Phillippe Aumont, RHP, Lehigh Valley (Triple-A): The 6-foot-7, 260-pound 23-year-old reliever hasnt pitched since May 2 and was just placed on the disabled list last week. 6. Sebastian Valle, catcher, Reading (Double-A): The 21year-old has hit safely in seven of his last 11 games, but one was just a pinch-hit appearance. For the season, hes hitting .221 with three home runs and 14 RBI. 7. Justin De Fratus, RHP, TBA: He was on a rehab assignment and was shut down after experiencing soreness in his right elbow. Last week, he was cleared to begin a throwing program. 8. Freddy Galvis, infielder, Philadelphia: Hes starting to find a groove with the Phillies, hitting .367 (11-for-30) over his last eight games with two home runs and six RBI. 9. Maikel Franco, third base, Lakewood (Class A): Only 19, he was signed as a non-drafted free agent in 2010. Hes batting .230 with four home runs and 21 RBI in 43 games. 10. Jonathan Pettibone, RHP, Reading (Double-A): Over his last four starts, the right-hander has gone 3-1 in 2823 innings only allowing just five earned runs.
On This Date
One of the most memorable moments in PNC Field history occurred on Memorial Day in 2007. The date was May 28 and Roger Clemens took the hill for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in front of 11,310 fans, including about 1,000 standingroom-only tickets for his last appearance before making a comeback with New York. Clemens pitched six shutout innings in a 2-0 win over Toledo. At the age of 44, he became the oldest player to ever don a Scranton/Wilkes-Barre uniform. In the outing, he struck out six and only allowed two hits.

NEW YORK Johan Santana pitched a four-hitter for his first shutout since 2010 and the New York Mets backed him with three home runs in a 9-0 win over the San Diego Padres 9-0 Saturday. Mike Nickeas hit New Yorks first grand slam of the season, and Scott Hairston and Vinny Rottino also homered for the Mets, who got it done without a contribution from David Wright once again. Wright went 0 for 3 with a walk, dropping his batting average to .390. He was hitting .405 after Thurdays game.
Phillies 4, Cardinals 0
added a three-run shot to help Washington strengthen its hold on first place in the NL East by beating the reeling Atlanta Braves. Stephen Strasburg (5-1) was not sharp but still won. He set a season high with four walks while giving up four runs and six hits in five innings. He had six strikeouts. MIAMI Mark Buehrle pitched into the eighth inning and the Miami Marlins moved within a victory of tying the team record for the most in a month with a win over the San Francisco Giants. Giancarlo Stanton hit two doubles and scored twice while Logan Morrison drove in two runs for the Marlins. Miami is a major league best 18-7 in May. The Marlins went 19-10 in August 1997. PITTSBURGH Matt Hague was hit by a pitch from Rafael Dolis with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates sent the Chicago Cubs to their 11th straight loss with a victory. CINCINNATI The Reds scored four runs in the first and four runs in the seventh to get past the Rockies.

LOUIS Kyle Kendrick threw a seven-hitter for his first career shutout, winning his first game of the season and putting the Philadelphia Phillies on the verge of their first four-game sweep in St. Louis in 26 years with a victory.

Lackawanna College hits national stage

Led by several former WVC standouts, baseball like this up north. Pensak turned a struggling program the Falcons have made it all the way around eight years ago by recruiting the to the NJCAA Division II World Series. top high school athletes out of the WyomBy JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader
Dont be fooled by the junior college moniker. Slowly but surely, Lackawanna College has turned into a hotbed for Northeast Pennsylvanias top baseball talent. The Falcons look to make their first impact on the national level this week as they compete at the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II World Series in Enid, Okla. Lackawanna fell to Scottsboro Community College 6-5 in 10 innings Saturday in the opening round of the week-long, double-elimination tournament. Everything leading up to the game has passed by so quickly, Lackawanna coach Chris Pensak said. Its unbelievable; there are more people than you think would show up to a junior college game. A lot of people are coming out to support this event. Its a little overwhelming, Lackawanna first baseman Kris Moules said. This is a hell of a baseball town. You dont get
ing Valley Conference and Lackawanna League. Two-thirds of his roster, including nine former WVC products, is comprised of players from NEPA. When I took over eight years ago, that was our goal, Pensak said. Bring in local players, put them into the spotlight so they could get recognized by some of these college programs that might have overlooked them otherwise. The Falcons World Series roster includes: R.J. Emmett (Pittston Area), Moules (Wyoming Valley West), Adam Davis (Hazleton Area), Chris Pollick (Wyoming Valley West), Carson Baker (Lake-Lehman), Josh Savakinus (Pittston Area), Dwight Houseman (Pittston Area), Jason Cholish (Wyoming Seminary), Nick Wilson (Wyoming Valley West) and Cody Patton (Pittston Area). We get the best talent from Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley, then were able to bring in some players out of the area like Kentucky, Pensak said. We tend to look at some of the better local high school programs where kids are getting the fundamentals from their coaches. Inherent to junior college baseball, the
Falcons typically keep players for twoyear stints before several of them transfer to the NCAA Division I level. Fifteen players on their current roster have scholarship offers to play the highest level of college baseball at schools like Georgia, West Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth. Moules will play for Morehead State in Kentucky. Davis signed a letter of intent to Delaware next season. Pollick is mulling over scholarship offers from Tennessee Tech and North Carolina-Pembroke. Lackawanna has also developed a pipeline to the University of Pittsburgh. WVC products like Valley Wests Sean Toole, Coughlins Chris Sedon and Pittston Areas Sam Parente all went from the Falcons to the Panthers. In 2009, the Detroit Tigers drafted Sedon in the 10th round. Its tough; every season has a constant turnover, Pensak said. One thing we do is we get them acclimated to a faster game, provide them with fundamentals. In the end, we give them an education and a chance to move up to a higher level in two years. Third-seeded Lackawanna reached the World Series with a 46-10 record, an undefeated conference schedule and its third consecutive conference title. The Falcons upended Community College of Baltimore County-Catonsville by 10-9 and 12-2
scores to clinch the programs first berth into the 10-team tournament. The familiarity from their high school days has created unity. I probably played with or against 10 of these guys, Moules said. We jell together better than a lot of teams because we had some chemistry before we even came to Lackawanna. The junior college name doesnt equate into lackluster productivity on the field. Moules said that the Falcons play one of the toughest schedules in the country with non-conference games against top teams in Tennessee and Kentucky. Not affiliated with the NCAA, the Falcons can practice as often as they like. The players say they benefit from the extra time on the diamond. Moules said the decision to go to Lackawanna was the best decision Ive ever made. Davis transferred to Lackawanna from Big East champion St. Johns to improve his skills before making the jump back to Division I. He said the extra time spent practicing has paid off. At Division I, we could only practice for a very limited number of hours every day, Davis said. We could practice from sun-up to sundown if we really wanted to. Ive become a lot more disciplined in the process.

Seminary finishes second in state
to give the team its first lead in the second half, he missed both. From there the Celtics used a 9-3 run and were able to hold off the Sixers. Ray Allen, who was struggling mightily from the floor for most of the series and continued his cold spell on Saturday, was able to hit two huge, season-saving shots for the Celtics in the fourth quarter. With the Sixers creeping to within three at 57-54, Allen (11 points) drained a patented three-pointer to give the Celtics a six-point advantage with 9:51 left. Four minutes later, when the Sixers were within five at 66-61, Allen drilled another for a 69-61 lead. The Sixers plan of not worrying so much about Allen late in this series, even leaving him at times to doubleteam the likes of Paul Pierce (15 points) and Garnett (18 points, 13 rebounds), was working well. It was a gamble, and one that Boston coach Doc Rivers didnt mind seeing.

The Wyoming Seminary boys tennis team took second place in the PIAA Class 2A Team Championships last weekend at the Hershey Racquet Club. The Blue Knights lost to Wyomissing in the finals after a dramatic come-from-behind win in the state semifinals against Harriton.

has widened the pool of potential winners, and theres no clear favorite. I think were going to see the best race weve had in at least a decade, said Roger Penske, winner of 15 Indy 500s and the team owner of pole-sitter Ryan Briscoe. Penske is undefeated this season, as Helio Castroneves and points leader Will Power have combined to win the first four races. And with Chevrolet power, Penske drivers have swept all five poles so far this season. So it seemed to be business as usual on pole day, when Chevrolet clearly had the edge. The team put nine drivers inside the top 10, and all six of the full-time entries were from Penske and Andretti Autosport. Then came Carb Day, and the Hondas came to life. Chip Ganassi teammates Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon led the leaderboard, with Andretti landing third on the final speed chart as the fastest Chevy driver. Maybe some sandbagging? Franchitti wondered as Andretti slid into the seat next to him following their final on-track session before the race. Do you really think were all going to show what we can do? The return of Chevrolet and addition to Lotus has renewed rivalries this season in IndyCar, and the fight between Chevy and Honda has been on display since the track opened May 9. Chevy lost two appeals in its fight to prevent Honda from getting a new compressor cover for its turbocharger, and the final decision came the day before practice officially opened. Honda then dominated on the track, particularly Josef Newgarden and Bryan Clauson, the two young American drivers for Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing. But there was skepticism that the Chevy teams were simply holding back, and that sure seemed to be the case after qualifying. Theres been no speculation whatsoever about the two Lotus entries, which have been so far off the pace there have been calls for IndyCar to park Simona de Silvestro and Jean Alesi after the start. The engine is a disaster, Alesi was picked up saying during the television broadcast of practice. The engine is really bad. Nothing has been bad for Andretti, who has been one of the few constants this month at Indy. finished last season with a 9-16-4 record. The teams first competitive season was in1992-93, and the following two years Seminary won the Lehigh Valley Scholastic League championship before moving to an independent schedule. In addition to the success as a team, several Wyoming Seminary players have gone on to play hockey professionally, including current Penguin Eric Tangradi, Dennis Packard, Arpad Mihaly and Morgan, who played in Europe. Morgan graduated from Wyoming Seminary in 2004 and continued his hockey career at Worcester State College before playing professionally in Europe. The native of Mountain Top has high hopes for the program that gave him so much. When I was playing there I alHes been consistently fast, and was thought to be a threat for the pole. He wound up fourth, right behind teammates James Hinchcliffe and Ryan Hunter-Reay. IndyCar is seeking a new star now that Danica Patrick has fled to NASCAR, and will miss her first Indy 500 since 2005. She was the de facto face of the series, and IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard knows he needs somebody else to step up and fill her void. He knows that an Andretti win would be a very good thing for the series. Wherever you go in the world, Andretti is known in racing, he said. This is Marcos stance. Ive never seen him so confident. Its like a new Marco to me. ways that about what a great opportunity it would be to be the coach, Morgan said. I gained so much from Sem, not only with hockey but academically as well. To give back to the program in this capacity is something I always dreamed of. Morgan has spent the past month recruiting players for the upcoming season. Prospects from Quebec, Toronto and several states including New York and New Jersey have already visited, Morgan said, adding that Barretts involvement in the program allows Seminary to offer something no other prep school can. With Jeffs involvement and all the players and scouts that he knows, it makes recruiting that much easier. The rink at Coal Street is also a big selling point
INDY 500
BUFFALO, N.Y. One day after pitching prospect Dellin Betances was battered by Buffalo, Scranton/Wilkes-Barres D.J. Mitchell had a similar result against the Bisons at Coca-Cola Field. Mitchell, who spent time with New York this season, was hit hard by Buffalo, allowing six runs in the first three innings. Just like Betances, Mitchell received a nodecision. But the result was different following the SWB victory. Reliever Manny Delcarmen allowed two runs in the top of the eighth to the Bisons, who pulled out an 8-7 victory Saturday. The Yankees had an opportunity in the bottom of the ninth to tie or win the game with runners on first and second and no outs, but Bisons closer Fernando Cabrera retired the next three batters in Jack Cust, Ronier Mustelier and Brandon Laird to end the game. Buffalo jumped out to a 6-0 lead after three innings. The big blow was a three-run shot by Fred Lewis in the top of the second. But SWB didnt give up and dug out of the big hole getting to Buffalo starter Garrett Olson for five runs in the bottom of the fifth using the longball. Gustavo Molina started the frame with a solo home run, his first of the season. Matt Antonelli (second) and Jack Cust (sixth) hit two-run blasts in the inning to pull the Yankees within one run at 6-5. The Yankees took the lead in the bottom of the seventh. Cust hit his second home run of the game and seventh of the season to tie the score at 6-6. A Cole Garner single later in the inning scored Laird and gave Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre a 7-6 lead. But when Delcarmen (1-2) relieved Justin Thomas in the eighth, Jordany Valdespin tied the score at 7-7 with a run-scoring single. The go-ahead run came across the plate when Valdespin was caught in a rundown between first and second trying to steal and Pascucci scored.

My approach is I want to win our Super Bowl, Andretti said. I put that pressure on myself. I dont want to do it because he did it and my dad didnt, thats all bonus. Do I think we can? Youre darn right. The 96th running of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing is the most wide-open race in a very long time.

to his current position of CEO in March 2004. While the Penguins develop players for the NHL, Barrett said the top priority at Seminary is academics and preparing students for college. Barrett also acknowledged that hockey can be a springboard to a college education, and he already has a plan in place to better the program. My three focus areas will be recruiting, developing a true hockey program and using my resources to help kids find a place to play, Barrett said. Those resources are vast, and

they will also come in handy when it comes time to implement a hockey program complete with systems and off-ice conditioning. Barrett said the new Seminary hockey program will be based on the one used by the U.S. National Program. I want to pick the brains of all the hockey people I can, including (Penguins head coach) John Hynes, (Pittsburghs player devel-
opment coach) Bill Guerin and (Pittsburghs goaltending development coach) Mike Bales, Barrett said. I will use all the assets I can to help Josh develop the program and take it to an elite status.

when the kids see where they will be playing, Morgan said. We will have Pittsburghs power skating instructor coming in to work with the kids, Bales to help with the goaltenders. Its not everyday a kid in prep school can learn from those who work with NHL players. With a summer to prepare for his first season as Seminarys head coach, Morgan is looking forward to seeing his team carve its way into the nations elite. We told the returning players that last season is in the past, but there are also some positives we can take and build from, Morgan said. We were a very young team and had a lot of kids step up into big roles. Were going to continue that progress as we take Sem to the next level.

Mary Witmer of Ephrata, who finished in second place with a time of 43.95 seconds. Around the back, with everyone screaming, it just gave me that extra push, said Hayward, the daughter of Christine Hayward of Parsons.
Not that she needed it. Because the Coughlin senior has been pushing for this moment from her junior high school days. The big thing she has been wanted since seventh grade was to take the gold in a state championship, Christine Hayward said. Oh my gosh, it has been our focus for the past five months. When a first-place state finish
came into the picture, memories of her disappointment over her runner-up performance in the District 2 100 hurdles and her failure to qualify for states in that event ended. This is all I ever wanted, Hayward said, flashing the brilliant PIAA gold medal around her neck. This year at districts, I couldnt get the golds I wanted. This trumps golds at districts any day.
FORT WORTH, Texas Jason Dufner matched playing partner Zach Johnsons birdie putt on the 17th hole Saturday, then overcame a wayward final tee shot to save par and keep the lead at the Colonial. Slowed by two late bogeys, Dufner shot a 4-under 66 in the third round for a 15-under 195 total. That put him a stroke ahead of Johnson, who shot 65 to set up what could basically be a match-play final group Sunday for the winners plaid jacket. Tom Gillis was a distant third at 7 under after a 69. Dufner, the winner last week in the Byron Nelson Championship about 30 miles away, is trying to win for the third time in five weeks. He also is trying to do something only Ben Hogan has done. Hogan, Dufners hero, is the only player to win both PGA Tour events in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in the same year.
When he did it in 1946, they werent played in consecutive weeks. SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP BENTON HARBOR, Mich. Roger Chapman shot a 7under 64 to take a five-stroke lead into the final round of the Senior PGA Championship. Chapman finished the day at 14-under par. John Cook began the round tied with Chapman for the lead, but couldnt keep pace with the Englishman and settled for a 69 to drop into second place at Harbor Shores. Chapmans 54-hole score of 199 tied the tournament record set by Sam Snead in 1973, although Snead was 17 under when he set the mark. Steve Pate had a 67 to join 66-year-old Hale Irwin at 7 under. Irwin made a triple bogey on the par-3 fourth, but played well on the back nine and shot 69. Chapman beat Padraig Har-
rington in a playoff to win a European Tour event in Brazil in 2000, and thats pretty much the highlight of his resume. He has never won on the Champions Tour. He made the cut in all 11 of his Champions Tour starts last year, but didnt have a top-10 finish. BMW PGA CHAMPIONSHIP VIRGINIA WATER, England Defending champion Luke Donald remained in position to regain the top spot in the world ranking, shooting a 3-under 69 to take a two-stroke lead in the BMW PGA Championship. The Englishman overcame windy conditions at Wentworth on a day when only three players broke 70, and Ernie Els criticized European Tour officials for the state of the greens on the course he redesigned. Donald had an 11-under 205 total. He needs to finish solo eighth or better to reclaim the No. 1 position from Rory McIlroy. McIlroy missed the cut.

SPORTS BETTING
Laying odds for New Jersey against the NFL

Hard to fault New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for following the time-honored tradition of politicians everywhere: When in doubt, give the people what they want. Turns out what they really want in the Garden State is to be able to bet 100 bucks on the Jets in the sports book at the Meadowlands race track before strolling over to the stadium for the Sept. 9 home opener against Buffalo. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell might shudder at the idea, but it could happen. Probably not this season as Christie hopes, but its entirely conceivable that by the time the Super Bowl comes to the New York metropolitan area in 2014, it will be easy to place a wager on your favorite team at the race track next door. Thats a sobering thought for a league so paranoid about sports
OPINION
TIM DAHLBERG
betting that for years it forbade Las Vegas from even being mentioned during games. But Christies decision to defy a federal law against sports betting in all but a few states is an exciting thought for New Jersey residents, who voted 2-1 last year in favor of sports books in Atlantic City casinos and four major racetracks. We intend to go forward, Christie said Thursday. If someone wants to stop us, then let them try to stop us. The federal government will almost certainly take Christie up on that challenge. So, too, likely will the NFL, which views betting on games with the same kind of antiquated logic it used to trot out every time the issue of concussions came up. But times have changed, as was evident last season when Las Vegas casino owner Steve
Wynn was Patriots owner Robert Krafts personal guest at a game, where the two went over plans to build a lavish casino next to the stadium where New England plays. The league has also branched off into other forms of gambling, including partnerships with state lotteries that make team owners millions of dollars from people who can afford it the least. Feel free to throw your money away on Patriots scratch cards that are almost always sure losers. Play the slots in casinos built on team-owned land. But dont even think about trying to add some enjoyment to a game by betting on your team to win. I dont think it is in the best interest of the NFL to have any association with sports betting, Goodell said at the 2007 Super Bowl. Its the ultimate in hypocrisy, of course, though hardly surprising. The NFL which had at least one bookmaker among its founding owners has taken a
harsh stand against sports betting for a good half century now, even while the reasons to justify its opposition have largely vanished. The main fear was always that unsavory types would hang around players, and that the fix might be in. But any gambler will tell you, its almost impossible to try and fix any game when bets are made through legal sports books who constantly monitor any swing in the action. Right now over 99 percent of sports betting is unregulated and untaxed. Its a market dominated by criminals, said Joe Asher, CEO of the company that runs 17 Luckys sports books in Nevada. Theres no way youre going to stop an illegal sports betting market from thriving other than to legalize it. Legalizing sports betting wouldnt turn it into a billion dollar business because it already is that and much more. What it would do is take the business out of the hands of
illegal bookmakers who thrive in most major cities and away from the offshore online sports books that operate without any government regulation. All but two states already have some form of gambling, so its no longer a social issue. And, lets face it, people love to bet sports. Its part of the American culture, its why we watch sports, Asher said. Creating a legal market for sports betting so that it is regulated, so that it is taxed, and so that legitimate businesses are involved is, of course, a good thing. The sooner that happens, the better for everyone involved. Christie might have helped make it happen sooner in a bold move predicated on the belief that a 1992 law that limits sports betting to four states will ultimately not hold up in court. He wants sports betting in New Jersey by this fall, and hes practically daring the federal government and the major sports leagues to try and stop it. Its not going to happen as
quick as Christie wants, and it may not save Atlantic City or the states horseracing industry by itself. But hes the first major politician to come out aggressively favoring sports betting, and he doesnt seem to be afraid of taking on the NFL or the federal government to get it done. Thats a good thing, because there should be nothing criminal about making a bet. Wall Street traders do the same thing every day, only theyre betting on companies instead of teams. Take the business out of back rooms and street corners. Legitimize it like in England, where there are betting shops on almost every block and even the stadiums have betting kiosks for fan convenience. Opposition will be fierce, and theres still a long way to go. But Im laying 7-5 it just might happen.

NEWARK, N.J. With Martin Brodeur nearing his 40th birthday and entering the final year of his contract, this season at first had the look of a last hurrah for the New Jersey Devils goalie great. Well, the hurrah part was right. Its been one hurrah after another, reaching a high point Friday night. Brodeur made 33 saves to help the Devils defeat the rival New York Rangers 3-2 in overtime in Game 6 to advance to the Stanley Cup finals against the Los Angeles Kings. Game 1 will be Wednesday in New Jersey. After the Devils missed the playoffs last season for the first time since 1996, no one might have been put under the microscope more than Brodeur. Longtime president and general manager Lou Lamoriello certainly had questions to answer after the early-season stumble under new coach John MacLean, but Brodeur was the focal point after a so-so season nagged by injuries. Now at 40, hes back after outdueling Henrik Lundqvist in the first Eastern Conference finals between the teams since their memorable showdown in 1994. New York won that one in seven games with Stephane Matteau scoring the series-clincher in double overtime. Rookie Adam Henrique did the honors for New Jersey on Friday night with a shot from just about the same spot where Matteau scored, from the right edge of the crease. Its been a lot of fun this season, playing on a really good team, and Im enjoying this ride, Brodeur said. And I know what I can do, try to compete as hard as I can every night and try to give these guys a chance to win hockey games. And theyve been scoring a lot of goals for me in the playoffs so far, and its been great. Brodeur was the difference in the Devils wins in Games 5 and 6, when the Rangers controlled most of the play in the final two periods. He was outstanding, all playoffs, Devils forward David Clarkson said. He kept us in games, stood on his head. Its amazing to see what hes doing right now and our bench just feeds off it. Brodeur was at his best Friday with the game tied 2-all in the third period. He stopped a powerplay shot by Brad Richards while prone on the ice and made a save on a shot by Artem Anisimov from between the circles.

Keselowski starts weekend with win for Penske Racing

By PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer
CONCORD, N.C. Brad Keselowski won the NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday, leading the final 67 laps to give Penske Racing a winning start on auto racings biggest weekend. Keselowski raced to his first Nationwide victory of the year. Hell try to double up in Sprint Cups longest race of the season, the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night. In between comes the Indy 500, a race that owner Roger Penskes cars have won 15 times. Penske driver Ryan Briscoe will start from the pole there Sunday. Penske Racing has three shots at winning races this weekend, Keselowski said. Were one for one. Dont bet against more Penske wins this weekend. The teams other drivers in Indianapolis, Will Power and Helio Castroneves, start fifth and sixth. Power has won three times already this year, and Castroneves is a three-time Indy winner. Im happy for Penske, Keselowski said. One way or another, the checkered flag at Penske Racing is going to fly this week. Keselowski led the way as Sprint Cup drivers took the top four spots. Denny Hamlin was second, followed by Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick, last years Coca-Cola 600 champion. Nationwide points leader Ricky Stenhouse Jr. had driveshaft problems and finished 26th. Danica Patrick started the race in third, yet slid to 13th. Shell also race Sunday night after spending her past seven
One way or another, the checkered flag at Penske Racing is going to fly this week.
Brad Keselowski
Memorial Day weekends driving in Indianapolis. For a while, it looked as if Keselowski might relive the lastlap, out-of-gas experience that cost Dale Earnhardt Jr. a CocaCola 600 victory a year ago. Keselowski gassed up with 73 laps left, then chose to stay out during a caution period a few laps later instead of pitting like most of the field. That began a fuel mileage countdown that had Keselowski and his team guessing if they had enough to make it to the end, unlike Earnhardt, who went dry entering the final turn and was passed for the victory. Its going to be either really good or really bad, Keselowski said on his radio down the stretch. Turns out, it was perfect as Keselowski picked up his first Nationwide Series race of the year. It was Keselowskis 18th win in the series and his second at Charlotte. Was Keselowski worried those final laps? No, he said, because he was confident in the call made by crew chief Jeremy Bullins. If Jeremy says were going to make, then I believe it, the driver said, smiling. Keselowski broke free on the last restart 46 laps from the end. He was able to save so much fuel after building a large lead, Keselowski did a flashy victory burnout to celebrate. Busch was asked if he couldve lasted so long on a tank of gas. No, theres no way
our stuff wouldve done that, he said. Stenhouse had hoped to capitalize on a series win last Sunday in Iowa and extend his points lead. Those hopes ended when part of the cars driveshaft popped out from behind and forced him to the garage for a long stretch of the race. When he returned to action, he was 20 laps down and merely hoping to last until the end. Right there under caution before I pulled in it felt like something broke. I started picking up a vibration and came down pit road and didnt see anything, but then I went back out and it broke. It was just a tough day for us. Elliott Sadler, second in points, finished fifth and moved 13 points behind Stenhouse in the standings. Patrick took third in morning qualifying and thought she was in good position for a strong finish. But she quickly fell backward on the hot, slippery track. Still, Patrick was running at the end and posted her third top 15-finish in her past four Nationwide events. The wildest day most likely belonged to X-Games standout Travis Pastrana. He spun out in qualifying, then spun twice more during the race. Pastrana apologized to his crew after the last slide, explaining, I have no idea whats going on. Pastrana came home 24th, his second-best showing in four Nationwide Series races.
CONCORD, N.C. At first Dale Earnhardt Jr. was relieved he didnt fall farther back than seventh at last years Coca-Cola 600. Then he realized what he had lost for just about a gallon of gas. After a while, you start thinking about, Oh, yeah, we really came close to winning a race, Earnhardt said this week. It was really unfortunate there wasnt just a little bit more gas in the car. If there were, Earnhardt wouldnt have faced an additional years worth of questions about why he hasnt won a Sprint Cup race since 2008 at Michigan. The drought has grown to 140 races and is a focal point at every track or appearance by Earnhardt. Ive said it all year long, he says, that I think were a little bit better than we were last year. It looked like Earnhardt was the best at Charlotte Motor Speedway a year ago when he broke free on a late restart to take the lead. He got the white flag just fine, then ran out of gas on the front straightaway and coasted through he final turn before Kevin Harvick passed him for the win. Harvick said afterwards he felt so stinking bad for Earnhardt because he knew how much the Hendrick Motorsports driver wanted to win. The fans roared when Earnhardt, voted the sports most popular driver the past nine years, moved in front and were equally stunned when his tank ran dry. Earnhardt was grateful to hang on to seventh as he thought about his position in the year-end championship chase. Then the disappointment of what happened swept over him. I was really unfortunate there wasnt just a little bit more gas in the car or whatever to get us to victory lane because that wouldve been a great way to cap off a pretty good weekend, Earnhardt said. So it was a bit frustrating over time. Martin Truex Jr., who hasnt won since 2007, finished 26th in last years race and understood what his fellow driver was going through. It takes so much, Truex said, to get into position that to have it snatched away so close to the finish line is maddening. Coming off turn four and running out of gas is about the absolute worst way to lose a race, Truex said. I definitely felt for him there. Earnhardt, wholl start 12th tonight in Sprint Cups longest

race, feels hes in a strong position to contend again. He said hes been faster at nearly every track hes gone to this season and doesnt expect that to change in Charlotte. Hendrick teammate Jeff Gordon has seen things building with Earnhardts No. 88 team. A year ago, Earnhardt came close to winning because of fuel mileage strategy, Gordon said. This time, Earnhardts got one of the fastest, most consistent cars in the garage and is capable of outrunning anyone. All that builds confidence, Gordon said.

Has lost four of past six tournament matches.
PARIS As daylight disappeared and wind whipped loose dirt around the court, Novak Djokovic watched one last ace fly off Roger Federers racket and end their thrill-a-minute semifinal at the 2011 French Open. Its been nearly a year since that evening, and Djokovic hasnt lost a Grand Slam match since. Hes won 21 in a row, earning championships at Wimbledon in July, the U.S. Open in September, and the Australian Open in January. If Djokovic can prolong that run on the red clay of Roland Garros over the next two weeks, he will become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to win four consecutive major tennis tournaments. A remarkable achievement, to be sure. And one the 25-year-old Serb is not thinking about too much before the French Open, which starts today. It would definitely mean the world to me ... but I havent thought about that too much, because I do not want to put too much pressure on myself, the No. 1-ranked Djokovic said, then added with a laugh: Pressure that I dont need at this moment, because I already have enough. He insists he wants to view this tournament the way he would any year. Federers take? Essentially: Good luck with that, pal. The hard part is (the) same for everyone: Every point you play, every game you play, the pressure you face, and just answering the questions time and time again, said Federer, who twice fell one match shy of four Grand Slam titles in a row, losing in the French Open final to Rafael Nadal in 2006 and 2007. Its fun, because youre talk-

ing about the highest of accomplishments, Federer continued. But at the end of the day, you just like to play the matches and not talk about it that much. Nadal also went on a threemajor winning streak at the French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open in 2010 but fell short of No. 4, losing in last years Australian Open quarterfinals while hampered by a left leg muscle injury. He dismissed the notion that he came close to equaling Laver, noting that he was three matches away, and said his happiness quotient today doesnt depend on what happened in Melbourne 16 months ago. Life continues, Nadal said, and you keep working hard to try to be fit and be competitive for the next (match). Theres another way in which Nadal and Federer were far from matching Laver as Djokovic would be, even if he wins his next seven matches. Rocket Rod pulled off his Grand Slams within a calendar year (the Austra-
lian left-hander also did it in 1962; Don Budge is the only other man to go 4 for 4). None of the top three men is in action in Paris on Day 1. The schedule includes seven-time major champion Venus Williams in her first Grand Slam match since revealing she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease; past French Open champions Ana Ivanovic and Svetlana Kuznetsova; reigning U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur; and past U.S. Open winners Andy Roddick and Juan Martin del Potro. Djokovic and No. 3 Federer will be on court Monday. No. 2 Nadal will begin his attempt for a record-breaking seventh French Open title on Tuesday. He is always favorite for this tournament. He even was last year, said Djokovic, who beat Nadal in seven finals in 2011 but lost both clay-court finals to him this season. Always No. 1 favorite, because hes just what he is on clay courts, you know. The most successful tennis player ever to play on this surface.

USOC debating an Olympic bid

The group must choose between 2022 Winter Games or 2024 Summer Games.

Champion Liukin is making impression in 1st meet back

By NANCY ARMOUR AP National Writer
DENVER Now that theyve made peace with their international partners on the financial front, leaders at the U.S. Olympic Committee must decide whether to try to bring an upcoming Olympics to America. The key to that decision will be weighing the pros and cons of bidding for a Winter Games vs. a Summer Games a debate that will begin in earnest when the USOC board meets next month in the Bay Area. Two people with knowledge of how the USOC decision-making process would work told The Associated Press that members of the U.S. delegation were being urged by international leaders last week, during private conversations at meetings in Quebec City, to think seriously about the Summer Games in 2024. Those people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the bid decision is made privately. In anything you do with this, where theres a lot at stake and youve accomplished something extremely important and youve got momentum swinging in a different direction, you go for the top, one of the people said of trying for a Summer Olympics instead of a Winter Games. Dont sell yourself short. On Thursday, the USOC announced it had solved one of its core problems with the IOC: rewriting the formula for revenue sharing through 2040. The USOC had said it wouldnt consider a bid for any Olympics until the revenue issue was resolved. Now that it is, CEO Scott Blackmun said the strategy is to develop a strategy. The momentum for a U.S. Summer Games bid will be weighed against what would be a less-expensive path, and likely one with fewer obstacles a bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Denver, which has formed an exploratory committee, would
likely enter that process as a favorite, with Reno-Lake Tahoe, Bozeman, Mont., and Salt Lake City also considering bids. The USOC would have to start from scratch in the search for a summer city, with New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas among the most likely candidates, said both people familiar with the USOC process. One of those people said there would be no drawn-out, public domestic bid process, as there was for the 2016 Games, when Chicago spent nearly $10 million to win the USOC phase, then went on to an embarrassing lastplace finish in a contest ultimately won by Rio de Janeiro. Others in the U.S. Olympic circle believe that the IOC always has more difficulty finding countries to host the Winter Games and that IOC leaders would look kindly upon a solid winter candidate from the United States, such as Denver. I think our strategy should be, lets host a Winter Games, a Pan-Am Games, a few meaningful world championships, USA Gymnastics president Steve Penny said. Thats the kind of stuff we need to do to someday bring a Summer Games back here. As the United States has learned, bidding for an Olympics is fraught with obstacles and political hurdles and they dont always go away when you win. The last two Olympics on American soil were filled with problems: Atlanta (1996) took a bad rap as being too commercial-

ized and spread out, while Salt Lake City (2002) had a massive bid scandal. The USOC has not, in the past, been able to provide a financial guarantee from its federal government an issue that should not be taken lightly, according to both people with knowledge of the process. Chicago had city and state guarantees for the 2016 bid, though its hard to guess, in retrospect, whether that helped, hurt or made no difference in the citys last-place finish. It remains a big unknown whether Chicago or New York, which got rejected for the 2012 Games, would want to jump through the IOC hoops after whats happened in the past. And IOC President Jacques Rogge, who will be long gone by the time the 2024 bid process starts, has repeatedly said bringing an Olympics to the African continent is a priority for the IOC. There are no African candidates for 2020, which means the next Olympic bid process could pit an American city against one trying to bring the games to Africa for the first time. Theres still time to consider a summer bid, but if the USOC
wants to pursue the Winter Games, the clock is ticking. The 2022 Olympics will be awarded in 2015. Denver has many facilities in place and has improved its international reputation. The highprofile, international SportAccord meetings held last week took place in Denver in 2009, and the city got good reviews. Denver remains, however, the only city to be awarded an Olympics then give them back. The 1976 Winter Games in Innsbruck, Austria, were originally slated for Colorado. Voters chose to give them back because of concerns over cost, urban sprawl and pollution. You could take the safe route and go with Denver, but that issue is still there and it will be used whether they think it or not, a person familiar with the process said. Americans have come a long way since then. But they need to be watertight with the city they pick. To have an exposure like that, Im not saying its a fatal flaw, but its a weakness that will be exposed. Theres still a perception, right or wrong, that the United States is only in it for the money.
CHICAGO A few more nights like this, and the reigning queen of gymnastics might be queen of the comeback, too. Olympic champion Nastia Liukin tied for third on balance beam in her first competition in three years Saturday night. She scored a 14.9 at the U.S. Classic, finishing 0.10 points behind reigning world champion Jordyn Wieber and Aly Raisman. It was the only event Liukin did, but it was enough to let everyone know she hasnt lost any of the skills or elegant style that earned her five medals at the Beijing Games. Next up is the U.S. championships, June 7-10 in St. Louis, where Liukin plans to add uneven bars her signature event and the event she needs to earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic team. The Olympic trials are June 28July 1 in San Jose. Raisman, a member of the U.S. squad that won the team title at the world championships last
fall, won her second straight title at the U.S. Classic, the final qualifier for nationals. Kyla Ross, a two-time junior champion who is in her first year as a senior, was second. No reigning all-around champion has returned for the next Olympics since Nadia Comaneci, and there was a time Liukin looked certain to continue that streak. Though she competed at the 2009 U.S. championships in her hometown of Dallas, she found herself torn between training and the opportunities that come with being only the third American woman to win the Olympic title. She wanted to go to Fashion Week and make appearances and have a hand in her business projects. But even a day or two out of the gym had her feeling as if she was starting from scratch. So she stepped away from competition and lived as close to a normal life as an Olympic champion can. She spent time with her friends and began exploring where she wanted to go to college.

Froch stops Bute for IBF super-middleweight title

NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) Carl Froch stopped Lucian Bute in the fifth round in his hometown Saturday night to claim the IBF super-middleweight title. The popular Nottingham resident, a two-time former WBC champion, was regarded as the underdog heading into the contest against the unbeaten Bute, the Romanian-born Canadian who was making his 10th title defense. The 34-year-old Froch improved to 29-2 with his 20th knockout. He lost his WBC title to Andre Ward at the Super Six World Boxing Classic in December. After the Andre Ward defeat I was very deflated.

Finding a new solution for old fishing line

Walt Dietz spied the great blue heron and knew something was wrong. Dietz, who is now the information and outreach coordination for the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commissions northeast region, was working at Little Buffalo State Park near Harrisburg at the time. The heron, Dietz said, was aware of his presence and would attempt to fly for a short distance before giving up. Dietz was able to catch the heron no small feat considering an adult can have a six-foot wingspan and found that it had fishing line wrapped around its head and beak. It was pretty weak, thats why I was able to catch it, Dietz said. He patiently unwrapped the line, which had worked back into the fleshy part of the birds beak, and released the heron, giving it a second chance at life. It was an example of the danger posed by discarded fishing line, Dietz said. A lot of things can get tangled up in it. Birds will even pick it for nest material and get wrapped up. Recently, the PFBC and the Nanticoke Conservation Club have partnered on a project that they hope will lessen the danger of discarded fishing line. The solution is simple give anglers a place to dispose of their line other than the water or shoreline. Using pieces of four-inch PVC pipe, the club built several fishing line recep-

tacles and erected them at access points on public waterways. Club president Gary Gronkowski said they decided to get involved after reading a story in The Times Leader about fishing line receptacles. We all fish, and we see the discarded line thats left behind out there and thought this could be a solution, Gronkowski said. The receptacles are simple to con-
struct, Gronkowski said. A PVC elbow is attached to a 2-foot length of tube with a cap on the button. Everything is glued together and the receptacle is attached to a post with hose clamps and stainless steel strapping. The club built five for under $100 and will empty them periodically. The clubs partnership with the PFBC on the receptacle program is a first for the northeast region. See RECEPTACLE, Page 15C
Ted Walke, chief of Division of Communications for the PFBC, said a similar project was initiated a few years ago in the southeast region but wasnt successful due to a lack of maintenance. To prevent a similar occurrence from happening again, the PFBC drafted an agreement that spells out maintenance protocols, similar to those in place for the Adopt-a-Stream and Adopt-a-Highway programs. The receptacles are a great resolve for disposal, but if theres no follow-up involved they become somewhat problematic, Walke said. The Nanticoke Conservation Club was very agreeable to continuing their obligation and seeing this through. The club has placed receptacles at access points on Lily Lake, Frances Slocum Lake (2), Sylvan Lake and the public boat launch on the Susquehanna River in Union Township. Gronkowski said the receptacles will be checked and emptied frequently in the summer during the peak of fishing activity. Dietz said hes been contacted by two other organizations with an interest in the program and expects it to grow. While the Nanticoke club is the only one actively involved at the moment, the receptacles were tried in the area before. Dave Madl, a park manager for the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, said they had fishing line receptacles at Lake Frances in
he Pennsylvania Game Commission isnt second guessing the recent decision by Easton police to shoot a bear that wandered into the city last Sunday. And a local police chief I spoke with isnt questioning the action either. After all, it was made in the name of public safety. But the incident raises a few issues that should be questioned. According an article in the Pocono Record, 911 received several calls regarding a bear on the loose in Easton. A couple of the calls even stated it was a grizzly bear. Right theres an issue. Those who live in urban areas on the fringes of bear habitat places where bruins can occasionally wander into tend to overreact when such an incident occurs. A bear sighting in town produces awe from curious onlookers or fear from those who think the bruin is on the attack. Neither outcome is good, and it could be why Easton police had a concern for public safety. According to the news story, the bear was a young male that wandered the city for a couple days. It was likely a bear in search of new stomping grounds after reaching the age where the mother chases it away. Easton police followed the bear and even shot it with dog tranquilizers in an attempt to resolve the situation. When that didnt work, they shot it. Easton police Chief Carl Scalzo said in the article that public safety comes first. And he later admitted that he doesnt know enough about a wild animal to determine when it would be a threat. And thats another issue that needs to be addressed. With bears expanding both in number and range, perhaps municipal police departments should be trained in how to handle situations such as the one in Easton. The Pennsylvania Game Commission does work closely with local police on such matters, and agency spokesman Jerry Feaser said Wildlife Conservation Officers educate police about bears all the time. But the education shouldnt stop with police. Residents need to be educated as well, and taught to not overreact when a bear passes through their town or neighborhood. Fairview Township police Chief Joe Intelicato has dealt with a ton of bear calls during his career. The township is a mix of developments and woods, making it the perfect place for bear encounters, wanted or not. Intelicatos department has never had to kill any of the bears that wandered into town or a neighborhood, and he said in most cases its not the bruin thats the problem. Its more about controlling the people than controlling the bear, Intelicato said. Where you have problems is when people want to take their children and follow the bear through the development. In a city like Easton, I could see it being a bigger problem trying to handle all those people. Feaser said bears do wander into urban areas from time to time, but in most cases they leave on their own without a problem. Happens all the time, he said. If a particular bear is taking too long to leave an area, Intelicato said he has shot them with harmless rubber buckshot to get them moving. But his department has never come close to having to kill one. We dont shoot bears. I dont see a reason, Intelicato said. Im not going to second-guess (the decision by Easton police to shoot a bear), but that would be the last thing I would do. One thing for certain is the decision by police to shoot the Easton bear wasnt easy. Its a tough spot to be in when youre charged with protecting the public but dont know when a wild animal poses a threat. Its something that a little education could go a long way toward resolving.

Thats a tough thing to say for Sporting Goods Association indiGiancarli, a Tampa Bay Buccaneers season-ticket holder who drives from the Fort Lauderdale area to attend games. But shes among parents nationwide who have felt compelled to reconsider whether football is safe enough for their children amid a steady flow of reports on the potential long-term effects of repeated head injuries, an ever-growing list of concussion lawsuits filed by former NFL players against the league and the New Orleans Saints bounty controversy. Now add in the death of Seau, a star linebacker for two decades, at age 43. Although it is not clear why Seau killed himself earlier this month, his death advanced what already was an uncomfortable national conversation about the hidden consequences of football. And while it is too early to establish a link between parents safety concerns and footballs popularity, there are indications
By CHRIS JENKINS AP Sports Writer
Already uneasy about the idea of letting her 7-year-old son Jason start playing tackle football, Elizabeth Giancarli made up her mind when former NFL star Junior Seau committed suicide. While many of her sons friends are moving on to tackle, hell be playing another year of flag football. I just couldnt put him in tackle football, only because of everything thats been going on, Giancarli said. I think that the Junior Seau suicide really hit home, too. So we decided to put him in another year of flag, because the impact is significantly less. Giancarli hasnt ruled out the possibility of letting her son play tackle when he gets older. But she hopes he wont want to. I hate to take that experience away from him, especially since
cates overall football participation across all age ranges has decreased from 10.1 million in 2006 to 9 million in 2011, with the most significant drops in the 12-17 and 18-24 age groups. NFHS director of sports and sports medicine Bob Colgate says the small decline hasnt raised red flags among high school sports administrators and may be the result of normal fluctuation in class sizes. Dr. Michael Koester, a pediatric sports medicine specialist in Oregon who has advised the NFHS, says its too early to connect a downward trend with parents safety concerns but says the numbers are worth watching, especially in youth football. I think it would be difficult to read anything into that at this point, Koester said. I think we really have to look at what those high school numbers do over a four- or five-year period of time. And maybe more importantly at
this time would be trying to get an idea from Pop Warner, from USA Football, see whats happening at the lower levels. I think if were going to see a culture shift from a participation standpoint, I suspect that were going to see it more at those lower levels, where parents are going to be deciding theres just no reason for their 7-, 8- or 9-year-old to be out there playing. And frankly, I support them in that. My son didnt start playing until he was 12. Kia LaBrackes son Nico sustained a concussion from a hit he took returning a punt in a freshman game in Oconomowoc, Wis. last fall. It took months for him to recover and return to school fulltime, leaving LaBracke and her husband, John, to make a difficult decision: They werent going to let him play again. We knew it was going to be very tough, LaBracke said. Because hes very dedicated to the sport, hes a very hard worker. This was his thing. A lot of his identity, who he was and who he is, was tied up in that.

Kia LaBracke holds up a picture of her son, Nico, in her home in Wisconsin. LaBracke and her husband had Nico stop playing football after a serious concussion kept him out of school for months.
LaBracke, who had a working knowledge of concussion issues through her job as the executive director of the Wisconsin chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said her son didnt take the decision well. On an intellectual level, of course he understands, LaBracke said. He would never say that, but of course he understands it. But I still dont think hes quite let go of the feeling that this is really unjust. Chicagoan Erin OLeary has told her 7-year-old son, Liam,
that he cant play tackle for now. And shes hearing similar thoughts from fellow parents. Some of them are just like, Oh, well, they dont hit that hard at this age and its not a big deal, OLeary said. But some like me, you keep seeing things on the news, reports that are released, and it is cause for concern. I mean, sports are great. I think theres a definite place for them, but long-term brain damage is not worth it. They have a long life ahead of them to do a lot of things.

The workshop will help homeowners and forest landowners identify invasive plants and insects and develop strategies for controlling and removing them from their property. Participants will learn if mechanical removal will work or if herbicidal applications are required to control the invasives. A short field trip will illustrate how the park and its community partners are working to control invasives at Nescopeck State Park. The registration fee includes informational resources and lunch. Please dress for weather and plan to be outside for part of the workshop. For more information contact Nescopeck State Park at 403-2006 or the Luzerne County Cooperative Extension at 8251701.

For a second year, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is partnering in this contest by tagging fish and selecting Pennsylvania waters where participants can be big winners. Most people have heard the phrase you have to play to win. Well, in addition to knowing the contest waters, Pennsylvania anglers need to have a fishing license to play. Your license will be your ticket to fish some of the Commonwealths best waters in the hopes of cashing-in on big winnings. While purchasing a fishing license guarantees you a gateway into the contest, PFBC underscores that regardless of the contest, a Pennsylvania fishing license is always a winner. In fact, it affords anglers the opportunity to unlock a years worth of fishing opportunities in all the Commonwealths fishing waters. Cabelas started accepting registrations on its website on April 19. The contest began on May 5 and ends July 8. The premise is simple: catch specially tagged fish and win prizes ranging from Cabelas gift cards to boats to $2 million. All rules and requirements, as well as contest details and registration information, can be found at Cabelas contest website, www.cabelas.com/fishformillions. In addition, PFBC will maintain its own contest web page at www.fishandboat.com/fishformillions.htm. Here, Pennsylvania anglers will be able to see the listing of contest waters along with photos of tagged fish. Bulletin Board items will not be accepted over the telephone. Items may be faxed to 831-7319, dropped off at The Times Leader or mailed to The Times Leader, c/o Sports, 15 N. Main St., Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0250.
OUTDOORS NEWS
PGC board work session Following up on his commitment to make the workings of the Board of Game Commissioners more open and transparent, Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners President Ralph A. Martone announced that the board will be holding a public working group meeting on Tuesday. The meeting, which will begin at 8 a.m., will be held in the auditorium of the Game Commissions Harrisburg headquarters, 2001 Elmerton Ave., just off the Progress Avenue exit of Interstate 81. The working group meeting will be webcast through the agencys website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) beginning at 8 a.m. This particular working group meeting is being held in advance of its regularly scheduled quarterly meeting on June 25-26. The board will receive various staff reports, including a review of the current Wildlife Management Unit system. The working groups are strictly an opportunity for the Board and Game Commission staff to exchange ideas and information, and to ask questions about various proposals that may come before the board at upcoming quarterly meetings, Martone said. Since no votes are taken during these working group meetings, we have not scheduled time for public comments. However, we will allow for anyone in attendance to submit questions in writing to the board. I would encourage the public to use the time between the working group meeting on May 29 and the official board meeting in June to express their opinion on these and other issues before the board. Public comments are scheduled at each of the boards quarterly meetings, which is the time when the board does take votes on proposed regulations and other action items. The board also receives public comments through e-mail and letters.

Nescopeck State Park for a couple of years. Unfortunately, they ran into problems. People were shoving everything in them but fishing line garbage, food, he said. We had to take them down.
The receptacles that the Nanticoke club erected are posted with signs asking people to deposit fishing line only and not trash. Still, Dietz is optimistic the program will be successful this time. We hope people follow the rules that are posted and the tubes arent abused or vandalized, he said. Even just by seeing that the tubes are there, peo-
ple may be more inclined to pick up discarded line and take it back because they know theres a place to put it. The awareness, Madl said, may be the biggest benefit of the receptacles. Its an education tool and it reminds people to do their part, he said. Just reminding people of the dangers of this stuff and that theres a place to properly dispose of it will be a benefit.

Bosses should think before they speak

DEAR BOSSES: Youre doing it wrong. Sincerely, The Employees OK, that might be a slight generalization of the way many workers feel about their leaders. But I dont think its far off, and I conveniently have some data to back that up. Consider these numbers from a new survey by Harris Interactive and talent management company Development Dimensions International: 34 percent of workers dont think their boss is effective. 60 percent say their boss sometimes damages their self-esteem. Half of workers say their boss doesnt ask for ideas about how to solve problems. Theres clearly a problem here, and its not that humans who obtain the title of boss immediately become insufferable jerkfaces. The root of the problem is Communication. (Thats Communication with a capital C and that rhymes with B and that stands for Boy, does my boss stink.) Pete Weaver, senior vice president of leadership solutions at Development Dimensions International, said he sees bosses and managers focused too much on knowledge and not enough on skill in other words, we have smart, welleducated leaders who arent adept at delivering information. The ability to lead people means having skill at communication and interactions, Weaver said. While we are all equipped with mouths and minds and a shared language, we tend to be rather bad at communicating. Thats true in all realms, from family life to the workplace, but failures to connect can be particularly pronounced in a boss/ employee relationship. I spoke with Ben Benjamin, a communications consultant and co-author of the book Conversation Transformation, which examines an array of destructive communication patterns. Everybody who talks communicates, but most people communicate badly most of the time, Benjamin said. One of the most common mistakes business leaders make is asking leading questions, like: Do you really think people will buy that product? or This is what our main focus should be, right? These questions are part opinion, part inquiry. They leave the employee with two crummy choices: Give the answer you think the boss wants, even if its not what you think. Give an answer the conflicts with the boss thinking, which can feel risky and uncomfortable. Leaders and employees, as communication is a two-way street need to recognize how flawed it is to phrase questions this way. Instead, ask broad questions that are open-ended and solicit information or opinions. Or ask narrow ones that elicit facts or a simple yes or no. The broad point here is that regardless of the conversation bosses and managers need to put more thought into the things they say. Think forward a few steps. Consider how your phrasing might come across to the people who look to you for guidance and reassurance that theyre doing a good job. Changing conversation habits isnt easy. It takes time to retrain peoples brains, Benjamin said. Youre not going to learn tennis or basketball by watching it or reading about it. Youve got to practice, practice, practice. Weaver, whose company did the survey on bosses, said leaders need to become unconsciously competent at communication, reaching the point where they automatically react intelligently and empathetically in the heat of the moment. All of this is trainable, he said. Leaders, even if they arent that good now at engaging their employees, can become better. So give some thought to the way you speak, bosses. If you do, theres a pretty good chance well do a better job of listening.

KINGSTON Pretzel-wrapped hotdogs, calamari, pizza and burgers await diners at Kingstons newest restaurant, Keeleys Alehouse and Grille. Back Mountain residents Pat and Michelle Hogan, owners of the Overbrook Inn in Dallas Township, and AVP Transport in Plymouth, rolled up their sleeves and purchased the former Learys Kork and Keg on Division Street in Kingston. Aiming to bring their quality of food and family atmosphere to the West Side, Pat seized the moment when the property was up for sale, closing on it in March 2011.

The staff at the Overbrook is great, she said. We do not have to be there every day. The Overbrook runs itself. Michelle said setting up a business takes time and you have to be there every day. But once the staff learns the procedures of how business will be conducted, you can step back a little. Having such a positive experience owning The Overbrook, Pat was eager to take on another restaurant. It is something to fall back on, Michelle said. Naming their new business after the newest edition of their family, 18month-old-granddaughter, Keeley, the couple incorporated the affordable dining experience with a tropical getaway feel for the whole family. The offerings include a kids menu with the usual favorites of macaroni and cheese, burgers and grilled cheese, as well as items for adults such as fajitas, lobster, sandwiches, and various salads, soups and appetizers. Also, for those wanting to dine at home, but not deal with cooking, Keeleys Alehouse and Grille offers catering and delivery.

Firm growth
Christopher L. Borton, chief executive officer of Borton-Lawson, attributes about 60 percent of the companys growth to Marcellus Shale development.
Gas drilling gives boost to Borton-Lawsons business

n a recessionary economy thats stalled home construction, factory expansion and government projects, local engineering and architecture firm Borton-Lawson has hired more than 60 new employees and opened new branch offices across Penn-
sylvania and in Ohio. Development of the Marcellus Shale by natural gas drillers hasnt been the only driver of that growth, but its been the most important, firm Chief Executive Officer Christopher L. Borton said. Growth has also enabled the company to insulate itself from the highs and lows of what can be a volatile industry.
The one thing about the gas is it hit right in the dead of a recession, Borton said. In 2009 and 2010 there were a lot of firms that were laying off 10 to 15 percent of the workforce where companies in Western Pennsylvania were growing. The engineering and architecture firm offers more than 60 professional services to companies extracting and transporting natural gas in Northeastern Pennsylvania, including surveying, site engineering, environmental review and permitting. It has undergone tremendous growth over the last two years, expanding from 143 employees in December 2010 to 204 employees today, and is continuing to grow. Borton said he hired two or three employees last week and the company is continuing to interview potential candidates for jobs. Borton said he attributes about 60 percent of that growth to Marcellus Shale development, and that about a third of the work his company does is in some way related to the gas industry. As the company started winning contracts and building relationships with the gas industry, Borton said in a way the company had no choice but to grow. Our business is client-driven, as all businesses should be, and when your clients ask you to get things done in a certain time you have to get it done, Borton said. And in our business theres no shortcuts. You have to put in the hours and you have to create employees to put in those hours. Borton-Lawson approached the industry carefully at first, assigning employees to study shale plays active in other parts of the United States and the economic impact of drilling in those areas, as well as the potential for development of all non-conventional oil and gas resources in Pennsylvania. What we found was, for every gas job that was created 10 other jobs were created, Borton said. And because the development in eastern Pennsylvania would be concentrated in the sparsely-populated Northern Tier, the industry

Gander Mountain, state parks offer first-time campers a great deal

SUMMER MEANS a lot of different things to a lot of different people: barbecues, baseball games, fireworks, no school. When I was growing up, it meant camping trips with my Boy Scout troop. Sadly, many of todays youths are too busy for scouting and those excursions into the woods with tent, sleeping bag and flashlight. But if youve ever wanted to see what camping is like, but didnt want to buy hundreds of dollars worth of equipment, the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is again partnering with Gander Mountain to provide first-time campers with needed gear and a reservation for two nights at a participating state park for just $20. Nineteen state parks are participa-

ting in the program, including Lackawanna in Lackawanna County, Locust Lake in Schuylkill County and Promised Land in Pike County. Call the park office directly to make reservations. The program begins this weekend and will run through the summer. Go to www.visitPAParks.com for park listings and contact information. The gear provided by Gander Mountain and DCNR is a four-person tent, rain tarp, four sleeping pads, four camp chairs, flashlight, lantern, camp stove and four hot dog/marshmallow sticks. The gear must be returned upon departure. Participants need to bring their own food, cooking utensils and bed-
ding. Suggested packing lists will be provided. This is the second year we are offering this hands-on instruction on camping and weve added five additional parks to the original 14, DCNR Secretary Richard Allan said. You cant beat this offer as far as the cost. The opportunity to enjoy many other activities at our state parks such as hiking and fishing; and a park staffer will even help you set up camp. I couldnt agree more. Friday is National Doughnut Day and Krispy Kreme has long participated by giving away free doughnuts at participating locations. This year Dunkin Donuts has hopped aboard the freebie train, as long as you buy a drink. Go to www.facebook.com/ DunkinDonuts to learn more. No coupons in this weeks newspapers (its a holiday thing and its the
case nationwide) but there are some great deals to be found inside the pages of the circulars, especially if you need to stock up on Memorial Day barbecue needs. Weis has its own brands split breasts, thighs or drumsticks, in the Bigger Deal three pounds or more packages for 99 cents a pound. And Weis is among quite a few grocers with several brands of hotdogs and burgers on sale this week. CVS has Mars chocolate single bars for 75 cents and when you use your CVS ExtraCare Card youll get that full purchase price back by way of a coupon good for a future store purchase that will print on your receipt.

would bring with it developments in infrastructure, like highways, water and gas pipelines and power grid upgrades, all of which would require the engineering and surveying services the company could provide. The company now does business with about 15 natural gas extraction and pipeline companies, Borton said. Its also joined the trade group Marcellus Shale Coalition as an associate member company and opened several satellite offices. Marcellus Shale Coalition President Kathryn Klaber said the company is providing a key service to the natural gas industry across the region. Their expanded natural gas offering has allowed them to hire dozens of Pennsylvanians and open new offices across the commonwealth which is representative of many of our member companies, Klaber said. The company established field offices in Pittsburgh and Towanda in 2010, acquired an office in Nazareth in May 2011, and opened its first office outside Pennsylvania in Canton, Ohio in March. The company has also
expanded its State College office, Borton said. Those offices provide a base of operations for field workers like surveyors, but they also help insulate the company from the highs and lows of the gas industry. Due to the relatively high price of oil and low price of natural gas, some companies with gas lease holdings throughout Pennsylvania have recently shifted their brunt of their operations to the wet gas regions of Western Pennsylvania, where oil can be harvested together with gas. It provides a little bit of stability if youre an employee and you know when work is slowing down in this area your company can move you to another area, Borton said. He also said his company has been less affected by the slowdown than some companies working with the gas industry because his company also does work for gas transportation companies, and the development of pipeline infrastructure is continuing unabated. The slowdown was in the actual drilling, the pipelines are going right ahead, Borton said. They still need to be surveyed; they still need environmental testing. Borton called the companys growth a double-edged sword in that offering a full spectrum of
architectural, engineering and surveying services it loses the niche appeal of a specialty firm but enables the company to serve clients more efficiently and quickly, and thats been a benefit in working with the gas industry. As the company has grown its also broadened and deepened the services it can offer by hiring employees with specialized experience. In addition to hiring locals, Borton said hes brought professionals from around the United States to the area to work. In April Frank Joanlanne, the former chairman of the companys board of directors, accepted the position of president, taking over for Borton, who had been president and CEO. Borton doesnt see his company benefiting from the gas boom forever, though he thinks drilling will continue to be a growth industry in Pennsylvania for the next 15 to 20 years. But he said this isnt the first time his company has adapted to fill a new role or take on a new market. We did not build this company on Marcellus Shale and going forward the companys going to have to change with the times, Borton said. One of the things we have to plan for is the next best thing, and I think we do that pretty well here.

Q: When my previous employer went out of business, I was relieved to find a very similar position with another company. However, I no longer feel quite so lucky. Over the last six months, my duties have gradually increased to the point where I could easily work 12 hours a day, seven days a week, and still not get everything done. My boss understands the problem and has asked for permission to hire another person, but top management wont approve his request. Im always swamped with work, so I feel exhausted and depressed most of the time. What should I do about this? A: Because workload issues can seem so overwhelming, they tend to make employees feel helpless and hopeless. In reality, there are only three possible solutions to these problems: increase staff, reduce responsibilities, or streamline work processes. Since the first option appears to be off the table, you will need to explore the other two. Fortunately, you dont have to face this challenge alone, because your manager is responsible for helping you determine
which tasks are more or less important. Assistance with prioritizing is actually one of the benefits of having a boss. However, you will need to invest some time in preparation for this discussion. Start by summarizing your responsibilities and tasks, then create sensible guidelines for designating their priority level. For example, activities that directly impact customers would automatically receive a high ranking, as would any project important to upper management. Those with little impact on critical objectives would be rated lower. When you meet with your boss, present your concerns as a problem-solving opportunity, not a complaint. Instead of griping about long hours or impossible goals, request his help in evaluating priorities, then review your rankings to see if he agrees. Once the two of you have settled on a priority list, the next step is to identify tasks which can be reduced, simplified or eliminated. Since your manager seems sympathetic, you might also try to agree on a reasonable length for your workday. To remain sane in this pressure cooker, you
will need to establish a clear boundary between your personal life and your job. Q: A few months ago, an angry female customer made a mess of the womens restroom on our office floor. Since then, management has kept this restroom locked, even though we have 30 women working here. Now the women have to ask for a key to use the restroom, while the mens room remains unlocked. Would this be considered sex discrimination? A: Given the stupidity of this policy, I find it hard to believe that anyone in upper management actually signed off on it. To restore both equality and rationality, all 30 female employees should visit the highest available executive en masse and request that the restroom be unlocked. The prospect of dealing with 30 outraged women should be frightening enough to get the attention of almost any manager.

MOST TO LOSE If Europe collapses into a severe recession, as some economists worry, energy companies in the U.S. may have the most to lose. Exxon Mobil, Chevron and other energy companies in the S&P 500 get 29 percent of their revenue from Europe, according to Deutsche Bank. Thats more than any other industry. It makes sense because the European Union as a group is the worlds second-largest consumer of oil after the U.S. A sharp economic decline would mean fewer people driving to work and trucks delivering goods.

FEAR VS. GREED In retrospect, everyone agrees that U.S. stocks were in a bubble during the late 90s and that housing was in a bubble in the middle of 00s. Heres the latest evidence that some financial analysts say show bonds are in a bubble now: Investors have plowed $728 billion into taxable bond mutual funds since January 2009. Thats more than they put into U.S. stock mutual funds over the six years from 1995 to 2000, or $655 billion. One big difference? The mania for bonds has been driven by fear, while the dot-com boom was driven by greed, says Morningstar analyst Kevin McDevitt.

Outlook for natural gas

InsiderQ&A
Rich Rosen
Who he is: Co-manager of the Columbia Select Large Cap Value Fund. What he suggests: The decline in natural gas prices may be nearing its end, creating potential long-term opportunity for investments in gas.
Natural gas prices have plunged to 10-year lows. Supplies have been boosted by a surge of new drilling in the U.S., and new techniques including hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Thats good for consumers who rely on low-cost gas to generate electricity and heat homes. But it has hurt gas producers such as Chesapeake Energy, whose shares are down more than 30 percent this year. Rich Rosen believes gas prices are unlikely to stay this low over the long run. Hes not ruling out the possibility of a further decline in coming months, but sees a potential longterm opportunity in stocks of gas producers. What might cause prices to decline further in the short-term? We are in the shoulder months for gas production, which occurs in between heating seasons, and is when inventories are built for future consumption. As recently as a few weeks ago, gas in storage was 50 percent above normal, and there is a finite amount of storage capacity. Once storage is full, prices can go anywhere but up. Without the storage option, producers can only sell what they have at whatever price the market will bear, unless they choose to flare it (throw it away), or shut in the wells entirely. Why do you think investments in natural gas are likely to perform better than they have in recent years? The industry itself is beginning to mature. Much like the gold rush of 1849, early success led to overwhelming supply. In this case the capital markets and banks were willing to finance anything with the words shale, fracking or gas in the description, and producers signed leases with land owners that included contractual promises to drill, regardless of price. It has taken this long for the process to run its course. Not only is investment capital moving from gas to higherreturn oil prospects, but equipment and other supplies are following suit. What risks might prevent the long-term gas price recovery youre expecting? The two biggest ones are the summers and winters being mild, or the economy collapsing. Both would delay the recovery, but not kill it. The gas drilling rig count is already down 35 percent from its high of 935 last October. We feel more comfortable about being near the turning point for both gas prices and predictability, with our biggest concern being that stock prices dont wilt along with gas prices as the summer goes along and storage fills up. Might there be an ideal time to invest in natural gas? Though we may never get there, as a long-term investor, the ideal investment environment is one where bankers, exploration and production companies, and investors all conclude that the industry is uninvestable, and is never coming back. It may not happen with gas, but we want to have our eyes open to the possibility. Answers edited for content and clarity.

Its getting easier to invest in one of the globes biggest growth stories. The number of mutual funds that invest primarily in Indias stock market has doubled to 10 in the past two years. That growth led Morningstar to create a separate India fund category to better track and compare performance. There are plenty of reasons why India is an attractive long-term investment option. Demographics are key: India is expected to overtake China as the worlds most populous country around 2030, and half of its population is under 25. That means the number of workers fueling the economy will rise for decades to come. Indias stock market has more than 5,000 listed companies, including such names as Infosys Technologies, automaker Tata Motors and drug maker Dr. Reddys Laboratories.
A passage to India
Mortgage rates fall to record again

For the fourth straight week, the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage dropped to a record low. This time, the rate dipped to 3.78 percent from 3.79 percent. A year ago, it was 4.60 percent. Treasury yields tend to dictate what happens with interest rates, and their steady drop over the last year has pulled down everything from mortgage rates to corporate bond yields.
MIN INVEST PHONE
Yet there are challenges. Political gridlock is delaying much-needed infrastructure upgrades and the economy is growing at its slowest pace in years. The Reserve Bank of India cut interest rates for the first time in three years in April, but warned that it saw little leeway for further rate cuts because of inflation fears. Inflation accelerated to 7.2 percent last month. Even so, that doesnt negate India as a potential long-term investment. It just isnt a good time to invest in a narrowly focused India fund. The Indian stock market has dropped 12 percent in the last three months, but remains up 5 percent for the year. Investors who are unsure of the potential should look at the returns of the oldest India stock fund available to U.S. investors, Eaton Vance Greater India (ETGIX). It has a posted an average annualized 10-year return of 15 percent.

Stock Screener
The big story of this past earnings season is how much better companies did than expected. Sixty eight percent of those in the Standard & Poors 500 index reported stronger first-quarter earnings than financial analysts forecast, according to FactSet. The figures were surprising because the trend had seemed to be slowing. Only 61 percent of S&P 500 companies beat analysts expectations during last years fourthquarter earnings season, down from 70 percent in the third quarter. Consider Expedia. It reported a net loss for the first quarter, but
Data through May 25; Source: FactSet

it would have earned a profit of 26 cents per share if not for acquisition-related costs and other special items. Thats 76 percent more than the 15 cents per share in profit that analysts expected, excluding those special items. This screen shows other S&P 500 companies that beat expectations by big margins. Atop the list is Goodyear Tire & Rubber. A warning: Simply beating earnings expectations doesnt automatically result in a rising stock price. Goodyear has struggled since its earnings report on worries about the strength of future tire sales globally.

What are these one-time charges against earnings that I see in company earnings reports? R.P., Madison, Ind. Theyre meant to reflect unusual costs a company bears (for example, due to closing a plant, experiencing an extraordinary crop loss, writing off bad investments, etc.). The charges are often added back to company earnings, ostensibly to more accurately reflect the firms operating performance. Imagine that Acme Explosives Co. (ticker: KBOOM) earns $50 million in a quarter, but it also lays off many employees then, making significant severance payments. If these costs amounted to $5 million and were labeled as one-time charges, then the company would be suggesting that its business really earned $55 million in the quarter. Beware of companies with too-frequent one-time charges. *** What does a companys relationship of current assets to current liabilities tell me? S.D., Abilene, Texas Dividing a companys current assets by its current liabilities gives you its current ratio, which shows whether it has sufficient short-term assets (such as cash and expected incoming payments) to cover its short-term obligations (such as payments and interest due). The quick ratio, which subtracts inventories from current assets before dividing by current liabilities, is a bit more meaningful. A companys current debt situation is good to know, but its just a tiny piece of its profile, telling you nothing about its profitability, long-term debt, growth rates, competitive position or valuation. Ideally, you should examine a company from many different angles, crunching a lot of numbers, such as profit margins, inventory levels, growth rates and more. Checking out a firms management is smart, too.

Buffett and Munger in Omaha
In early May, around 40,000 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders flocked to Omaha to listen to Chairman Warren Buffett and his partner, Charlie Munger, answer their questions for five hours. Here are some snippets from the annual meeting and the subsequent press conference (the quotes are paraphrased): On dumb investments: We steer clear of companies where we dont have a reasonable idea about how the industry will develop within five to 10 years. Consider Apple and Google: Both are extraordinary companies. They may well be worth a lot more 10 years from now, but we would not want to own them or bet against them. (The Motley Fool owns shares of both companies and its newsletters have recommended shares of them.) If a companys price is crazy, even if we do understand it, then thats out, as well. We avoid new issues (IPOs), too, as there are usually plenty of better alternatives. Then there are industries that we think could potentially do very well, but we have no idea who the clear winners will be in the next few years. On the railroad industry (Berkshire owns BNSF Railway): Economics are on our side, because we can move a ton of products 500 miles on a gallon of diesel. Railroads move 42 percent of inner-city stuff. In terms of congestion and emissions, railroads are all advantage. Some $3.9 billion will be spent this year to expand and improve railroad infrastructure, and the country will be better off. On barriers to entry, a competitive advantage: We tend to buy barriers instead of building them. If you gave me $30 billion and told me to try to knock off CocaCola, I wouldnt have the faintest idea how to do it. And nobody is going to build another railroad. One competitor can be enough to ruin a business. If youre in an industry with no barriers, you have to move really fast and always stay ahead. *** Well offer a few more nuggets next week. In the meantime, read Buffetts educational letters to shareholders at berkshirehathaway.com.

A Solar Burn
I was still relatively new to the investment game and, being a sustainable energy supporter, I fell for Pacific Blue Energys talk about solar panel farms. Literally the day I invested, the stock price started falling. Blind faith that things would turn around sooner or later proved very blind. I ended up losing around $10,000. But being badly burned once is usually an excellent motivation to improve your investing skills. It was soon after that that I joined The Motley Fool. Ingrid, online The Fool Responds: First of all, be careful when you refer to investing as a game. Its easy to think of investing as gambling, but youre doing much more than just speculating if youre investing in healthy, established, growing companies with proven track records and competitive advantages. Unfortunately, Pacific Blue has mostly been a penny stock. Penny stocks, often hyped and manipulated, are like gambling and are best avoided. Many have high expectations for solar energy, but its not booming quite yet, partly due to supply-and-demand issues. With all stocks, buy on strength, not rumors, promises or possibilities.

Whole Foods on a Roll

Whole Foods Market (Nasdaq: WFM) recently posted strong quarterly results, with gross profit margins hitting a record 36.3 percent. That number might slip a bit in future quarters, though. As co-CEO and founder John Mackey explained: Were managing our business for the next 20 years, not the next quarter or two. We want to continue to increase the value for our customers, in terms of lower prices. Despite the recession, Whole Foods has managed to adjust its pricing to compete admirably in a tough marketplace. In the last two fiscal years, it increased its sales by 12 percent each year, and sales at stores open more than a year increased by 7.1 percent and 8.5 percent. Speaking of gross margin, Whole Foods is a gem in the industry. Its best-performing peers are lucky to approach 30 percent. Is the stock a buy now? Well, given its tremendous run over the past year, potential investors might want to wait a bit to see if some temporary bearishness might produce a lower price for purchase. Still, over the long haul, Whole Foods has been worth its historical premium. When companies commit to building their businesses for the next 20 years instead of simply trying to beat next quarters expectations, theyre speaking long-term investors language. (The Motley Fool owns shares of Whole Foods and its newsletters have recommended it as well.)

Big, fat tribute to the inventor of TV remote

WE ARE gathered here today to memorialize a man who revolutionized our lives. So what did Eugene J. Polley do? What was the nature of his great leap forward? Did he invent the PC? Did he invent the cellphone? Did he invent the Internet? No. Eugene J. Polley invented the wireless remote. You younguns wont remember this, but back in the day, when you wanted to change channels you had to actually get up from the couch and embark upon an arduous trip five, six, sometimes even seven feet across the living room where you would manually turn a dial until the desired channel sprang into view in all its black and white glory. While you were up, someone always would ask you to adjust the rabbit ears (ask your dad about the rabbit ears) to get rid of the snow (ask your dad about the snow). Then it was a long trudge back across the living room to the couch where your evil sister had taken your seat and wouldnt give it back no matter how nicely you threatened to drop her Chatty Cathy (ask your mother about Chatty Cathy) down the sewer, leaving you no choice but to shove her and then she punched you and then mom started yelling and didnt want to hear how it wasnt your fault, and next thing you know, youd been sent to bed early and you didnt even get to see Gilligans Island that night. Not that your humble correspondent is holding a grudge or anything. Anyway, Polley who died of pneumonia May 20 at 96 was an engineer for Zenith. In 1950, the company had released a remote control that attached to the set by a cord. One can only guess how many customers twisted how many ankles before Zenith decided this was not a great idea. Five years later, Polley fixed this. His remote, which looked like a glorified hair dryer, operated by sending light beams to receptors on the set. Now, the idea of a set that changed channels by responding to light had its own flaws. It was not uncommon to open the blinds and suddenly find Huntley and Brinkley on the screen where Cronkite had been a moment before (ask ... well, you know). Plus, the wireless remote was initially a luxury item. Only those with an extra $100 to spend could enjoy the convenience of sampling all their entertainment options (CBS, NBC, ABC) from the comfort of their chair. Kids whose parents were not made of money were stuck at the mercy of their evil sisters and had to figure out ingenious ways of changing channels without surrendering their prized seat on the couch. Little brothers were good for this. Eventually, of course, the wireless remote became ubiquitous. Polley (along with whomever had the bright idea to build a mini-fridge into a reclining chair) ushered us into a world where it became possible, depending on bladder strength, to watch hours and hours and hours and hours of television without ever leaving the couch to sit zombie-like on ones fat assets, spouse and family ignored, spastically switching channels, searching for that holy grail of modern existence, something good to watch, by sampling ones entertainment options (still CBS, NBC, and ABC and about 500 more). Convenience has long been the watchword of technological innovation, the promise implicit in every new dishwasher, ice maker, word processor and Roomba: it will make our lives easier. Eugene J. Polleys device did make our lives easier too much so, a diabetes specialist might say. Polley himself would have agreed. As he once groused to the Palm Beach Post, Everything has to be done remotely now or forget it. Nobody wants to get off their fat and flabby to control these electronic devices. As true as that is, one still cannot help but be grateful to Polley for his device. Granted, ones evil sister might disagree.

Obama makes heinous attack on High Court

NOVELIST JOHN Grisham could hardly spin a more provocative fiction: The president and his surrogates mount an aggressive campaign to intimidate the chief justice of the United States, implying ruin and ridicule should he fail to vote in a pivotal case according to the ruling political partys wishes. If only it were fiction. The justice is of course John Roberts and the case involves the Affordable Care Act (ACA), aka Obamacare, which would be affordable only if the court upholds the individual mandate requiring all Americans to buy health insurance. The lefts narrative goes as follows: If the justices side with the Obama administration, they will be viewed as brilliant and nonpartisan. If the reverse occurs, why then, the justices are partisan, judicial activists who have delegitimized the court. Writing in The New Republic, Jeffrey Rosen laid it out for Roberts, whose vote likely will be decisive: In addition to deciding what kind of chief justice he wants to be, he has to decide what kind of legal conservatism he wants to embrace. Of course, if the Roberts court strikes down health care reform by a 5-4 vote, then the chief justices stated goal of presiding over a less divisive court will be viewed as an irredeemable failure. Lest there be any lingering confusion, permit me: Vote our way, Justice Roberts, or you will go down in history as having abrogated your duty; your reputation will be destroyed; and the country will hold you accountable not only for withholding health care from the American people, but also for rolling back the New Deal. In so many words. Wait, the New Deal? Yes, according to many on the left, including Rosen, if the court rolls back Obamacare, it will also roll back the New Deal. Legal scholars on the right insist otherwise, noting that lawyers for the plaintiffs were explicit in denying any interest in overturning precedents. I leave this debate to others more worthy, but the idea that decisions must be popular and/or bipartisan is silly on its face. Just because something is popular doesnt make it right or legally correct. And, difficult as this is to accept in our Twitter culture, Supreme Court justices neednt be popular. Nevertheless, the left is pushing many such non-legal arguments, including that the court shouldnt overturn a popular legislative act. Even the president advanced this argument as recently as last month, although the ACA is not, in fact, all that popular. Speaking in the Rose Garden, Obama said: Ultimately, Im confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress. Senate Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy also recently publicly lobbied Roberts, saying he trusts that the chief justice has a strong institutional sense of the proper role of the judicial branch. This not-so-stealth campaign to influence the Supreme Court is obnoxious, if not unethical. It is also factually challenged. Overturning a law would not be unprecedented or extraordinary, as any first-year law student could tell you, but dont take my word for it. Harvard Universitys Laurence Tribe, one of Obamas professors and a leading liberal scholar of constitutional law, said that his former student obviously misspoke. Publicly chastising the court and now taunting Roberts specifically seems to have two purposes. One is to get under Roberts skin in hopes that hell rule the correct if not necessarily legally correct way. Two is to lay the groundwork for declaring the court illegitimate if all or part of Obamacare is overturned. Either way, its politics at its filthiest and is beneath the dignity of the court and of the White House. Unfortunately for Roberts, its up to the chief justice to hold the bar high.

must start tracking each transaction electronically and make databases easily retrievable for police. Its part of a host of new restrictions from an ordinance that took effect in January. One of the measures mandates that sellers show a photo ID, and cash payments for copper are no longer allowed, just checks. Alderman Donna Baringer, who sponsored the ordinance, said thefts have dropped considerably. Between January and March 2011, there were 846 reports for scrap metal thefts valued at $1.3 million in losses, according to city figures. For the same period in 2012, there were 259 cases valued at $400,000. The problem hasnt disappeared. It has just moved out of the city, Baringer said. The stigma hasnt disappeared, either, though Baringer said shes aware there are alley gypsies who are legitimate people who do this for a living. St. Louis police Detective Mark Rodebaugh said dope fiends are the real terror.

He wrestled a recliner out of the garbage and went to work on it with vice grips, a broken sledgehammer, meat knife and crowbar.

OUR OPINION: TRIPLE-A BALL
When surviving a carjacking is reason to thank God

HE IS a famous Gospel singer, a TV star, a pastor who gave the stirring eulogy at Whitney Houstons funeral. That didnt stop several men from attacking him at a Detroit gas station in broad daylight earlier this month, roughing him up and stealing his SUV, his money and his expensive watch, leaving him with an injured hand and torn pants. I was like, This isnt happening, Marvin Winans, founder of Detroits Perfecting Church, told a WXYZ-TV anchor after the incident. Come on. We give you money. We help. It didnt matter what good Winans church has done. The attackers took what they wanted. Winans later maintained, in the grand scheme of things, he was grateful to have only minor injuries. Im blessed and fortunate, he said. A similar thing happened a few months earlier to an 86-year-old World War II veteran named Aaron Brantley. He had just bought gas on Detroits west side. A father of eight, a grandfather of 18, Brantley had a Bible on his front seat from the Bible study he attended that morning. Didnt matter. He was attacked from behind by a young man, who drove off in Brantleys car. Brantley, his leg broken, crawled on the pavement as customers passed by, not bothering to help. When interviewed, Brantley also appeared grateful. I could be dead, because thats what they do to you these days, he told one TV crew. They dont care about your life. In both of these cases, and in multiple other less-high profile carjacking victims, the

attitude was gratitude. And it is understandable. But it wont solve things. We might have reached a point in Detroit where surviving a carjacking is reason to praise God. And yes, worse things could happen. But what IS happening is insane. And it cant be tolerated. We cant just be grateful that we werent killed, that we only had our leg broken, that we only lost a vehicle or that we were only terrorized and now freak out at performing the simplest public task in Detroit like pumping gas or going to an ATM. Not being dead is one thing. Living this way is something else. Twenty-six years ago, I was on my way to Opening Day at Tiger Stadium when I stopped at a Southfield dry cleaners. I was greeted by a man with a gun. He was robbing the place. I was lucky, yes. I survived the event. For months, I had nightmares about the gun that was pointed at me. I wondered what would have happened if the man had been startled or lost his temper. Certain friends told me to move, to leave the state. I chose to stay. I chose to believe that the incident was not the norm. I chose to fight the stereotype, and to not let the worst among us put everything to ruin. Winans might be doing the same when he says, I refuse to be afraid of us. But when the well-known and the unknown are robbed not at night but in broad daylight, then other

action must be taken. Some citizens are screaming for mandatory security at places such as gas stations. Others point to a severe lack of police in a financially strapped city. But the alleged robbers of Winans and Brantley were all younger than 22. Which means not too long ago, they were being raised, presumably, by a parent or guardian. Either those adults take more responsibility, or this will get only worse. Either our communities act like communities, or this will get only worse. Either we citizens watch out for each other and dont look the other way or this will get only worse. Our young people have to find their purpose in life, Winans, 54, said in a statement. It has to be bigger than sitting in a gas station waiting to rob innocent people. But someone has to teach you that from a young age. If the parents or guardians of the carjackers are reading this, can you honestly say you did your best? Because there is no guarantee here. No safety net. We can easily become a city where the attitude is gratitude for surviving a simple day. Do you know what they call that? A war zone. Is that how we want to live?

OTHER OPINION: U.S. AT WAR
Afghan exit has hit tipping point

Fatalities. As of Tuesday, The Associated Press counted at least 1,851 members of the U.S. military who had died in Afghanistan following the U.S.-led invasion in late 2001. On Memorial Day, more families than ever will mourn those who gave their lives in this war. Adding to the death toll after so many years of fighting without a conclusive end in sight is inexcusable. Public support. Two months ago, a New York Times/CBS News poll showed that more than two-thirds of those polled 69 percent thought that the United States should not be at war in Afghanistan. Now its up to the Afghans themselves with a residual troop presence and some form of unspecified support from the United States through 2024 to take care of their own security.

National popular vote totals do not a president choose

ALBERT GORE Jr. of Tennessee received 50,999,897 votes in November of 2000 as a sitting vice president of the United States. On the same day Texas Gov. George W. Bush accumulated only 50,456,002 or 543,895 fewer votes nationwide. Gores popular vote margin in the presidential election of 2000 was larger than that of 16 candidates elected president including Jackson, Lincoln, Grant, Kennedy and Nixon. Yet despite Gores nationwide popular triumph over Bush by the recorded votes of more than a half million Americans, Bush assumed the presidency on Jan. 20, 2001 per the dictates of our Constitution. It was a lesson learned well and one worth heeding as we observe the 2012 race for the White House heating up and tightening further national popular vote totals matter little. A sampling of nationwide polls gauging the electoral temperature of American voters from Chula Vista to Presque Isle shows President Barack Obama with an average 4-point nationwide lead over his likely opponent former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts. However, national popular vote totals do not a president choose. Ask Al. The Constitution provides for the selection of electors in the individual states (and the District of Columbia) equal to the whole number of senators and representatives to which the state may be entitled in the Congress.
HE irreversible agreement announced on Monday by the United States and its NATO allies to withdraw military forces from Afghanistan by 2014 marks a clear turning point in a protracted war that most Americans had soured on long ago. The action is predictable, coming just weeks after President Obamas May 1 speech in which he announced the U.S. pullout. But it also was necessary. By getting an explicit and public buy-in from NATO countries, some of which are even more eager to get out, he has put Afghanistan on notice that there is no turning back. Theres no mystery about why. Costs. The war has lasted more than 10 years. Most estimates of the total costs to the U.S. Treasury are around $500 billion or more.
KEVIN BLAUM
IN THE ARENA
The number of electors (538) equals the members of the House of Representatives (435) plus U.S. senators (100) plus the D.C. three with 270 electoral votes, a majority plus one, needed to become president. So divided is America, into perennial red states that deliver their electors without question to the Republican presidential nominee, and blue states that regularly assign their electoral votes to the Democratic standard bearer, that only a dwindling number of purple states and the electors therein actually determine the future direction of our country. Team Romney is not at all worried about Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming placing 191 electoral votes in their column on Dec. 17 when the Electoral College officially gathers in the 50 states and District of Columbia to register its deciding votes. Similarly, the Obama camp would bet the farm that it carries California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, D.C., Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,

Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin with 266 electoral votes. If youre counting, that leaves five magenta states with 81 electoral votes up for grabs. Almost anything can happen between now and Nov. 6 to alter this arrangement. Some pollsters suggest Obama has an opportunity to put Arizona, Missouri and even Gores home state of Tennessee into play, while Romney might find a formula to walk off with Wisconsin, Colorado and his previous home state of Michigan. Anything is possible. Likely? No. The presidential election of 2012 will be decided in Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. In 2008 the president prevailed in all five. In 2012 the Sunshine and Tar Heel states look increasingly iffy for Obama. Give those 44 electoral votes to Romney and scratch any remaining Floridians from his short list of possible VPs. With 37 electoral votes among them Iowa, Ohio and Virginia not the national popular vote will likely decide the entire race. Romney needs all three. Obama need win but one. Maximizing the popular vote in fewer than five individual states and choosing a vice presidential nominee from one will focus the unlimited money, attention and brainpower of the Romney campaign in the finite block of time remaining. Obama HQ will not be fixated on the vagaries of nationwide polls. Ask Al.

Think twice before making monumental mistakes with U.S. memorials

THIS HAS been an extraordinary year for American monuments. The memorial at Ground Zero opened last September in New York. One month later came the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial here in Washington, and soon to come to Washington or perhaps not is the memorial to President Eisenhower, which is to be a collaboration between architect Frank Gehry and sculptor Charles Ray. Each of these has been the subject of furious controversy, especially those in Washington. The King Memorial was criticized for engaging a sculptor from Communist China, who saw to it that Chinese, rather than American, granite was used for the structure which accounts for its Made in China inscription. Even worse, the memorial managed to misquote the great man. The proposed Eisenhower Monument has been criticized on opposite grounds. Instead of making its subject a 30-foot effigy, it turns him into a diminutive country boy. As different as the King and Eisenhower memorials are, the publics dismay in each instance has the same cause: These arent the men we knew. As traditionally understood, a monument is the expression of a single powerful idea in a single emphatic form, in colossal scale and in permanent materials, made to serve civic life. The spontaneous roadside memorials that mark the site of fatal traffic accidents are a relatively new phenomenon. make on the earth it nonetheless presented the profoundly traditional image of a stone tablet inscribed with the names of the dead.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., which brings to mind ancient designs such as the wailing wall, elicits powerful reactions from visitors.
Eero Saarinen showed that it could be done with his Gateway Arch at St. Louis: an exquisite portal that opens to the West, it is our version of a Roman triumphal arch. It is abstract, but its visual logic is direct and persuasive, showing that modern materials and forms are not incapable of suggesting timeless ideas. Second, we can recognize that it is not too late. Just because a world-famous architect has submitted a design does not oblige us to build it. Third, we can remember that greatness is possible. For more than a century and a half, we built monuments with spectacular success. We have only been building them badly for a generation. I look at these recent designs, which

As Nats go electric, its all about the game

IT WAS our much-anticipated quarterly lunch with Tim Kurkjian, baseball analyst extraordinaire, wherein George Will and I bathe in a constant flow of obscure statistics, Kurkjian oddities and ribald anecdotes, like the one about the Red Sox beat writer who accidentally walked in on a players prayer meeting and was greeted by the burly right fielder, newly born-again and not yet practiced in the language of Christian fellowship, bellowing Hey! Cant you see were having f------ chapel here? After which, Kurkjian asked us about our daily reading habits. I confessed that during baseball season I give the front page of the morning paper about 90 seconds before going right to the box scores. To which Will deadpanned, Why waste the 90 seconds? True story. (You can look it up. Its in Kurkjians book.) Of which there are two things you should know: (a) Will was only half joking. (b) He turned out to be prescient: Last Wednesday, I crossed over. I went straight to sports. It was an important personal milestone, though the circumstances were extenuating: Id missed the previous home game. You see, on weeknights Im normally at Nationals Park, it being exactly seven minutes from Fox News Washington studios, where my workday ends at 7. If the winds are fair and the Third Street Tunnel clear, I can get to my seat by the bottom of the first, in time to see Bryce Harpers first at-bat. Except that the previous game was a day game. I might be an addict, but I do draw the line somewhere. If I find myself at the park at three in the afternoon on a Tuesday, its time for an intervention. I know my weaknesses. I tread with care, having found myself in March recording spring training games for later viewing. Thats bad. Not even players wives do that, Kurkjian confirms. So during the season, I exercise prudence. No day games. No weekends. No checking scores by hand signal from a confederate in the audience while giving public speeches. But these are about the only lines I have left. Between now and October, the Nats are my vice. I started going when they were bad, and once celebrated in this space

the joy of losing, under the axiom that if you expect nothing, youre never disappointed. A very serviceable philosophy when your team is terrible. But I need a new philosophy now. The Nationals are good: young, swift, exciting and in first place in the National League East. Theyve got an electric 19year-old, the aforementioned Harper, who runs the bases like Pete Rose on steroids (so to speak) with joy and abandon. After being deliberately drilled in the back by an opposing pitcher, how does the kid retaliate? By stealing home. Nobody does that anymore. Not since Jackie Robinson, anyway. The Nats also have the best starting pitching in the game. They not only throw harder and faster than any rotation on record; they throw with purpose and precision. They lead the world in ERA and strikeouts. Better still, four of the five are 26 or younger. The grizzled veteran is 28. If precision is not exactly your thing, they have a closer, Henry Rodriguez, who throws 100 miles an hour with no idea where the ball is going. This induces terror in the opposing batter, morbid excitement in the stands and acute anxiety in the home dugout. He was finally yanked mid-batter, no less by Davey Johnson, his preternaturally patient Yoda of a manager, after hitting one backstop too many in Philly. Rodriguez has since been demoted. Young, brash and dangerous how can you not like these guys? True, they could very well go south tomorrow. But what a ride. Even the omens are good. When the wizened Johnson, asked about a recent epidemic of injuries to key players, suggested that perhaps a chicken be sacrificed, a bunch of fans promptly showed up at the park for the exorcism. The beheading was clean; the chicken, rubber; and the results, pleasing: no major Nats injuries in a week! No entrails were read, but Id say: The outlook is quite brilliant for the Mudville Nine this day. Just to be sure, however, Ill check with Kurkjian.

Of job creators and evildoers: Its poppycock

THE TERM job creators used by Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney has to be the lamest euphemism since President George Bush called the 9/11 terrorists evildoers. As it turns out, Bush wasnt as interested in the evildoers as he pretended to be, preferring to have America sponsor a reckless, costly war with Iraq. He left it for his successor, President Obama, to hunt down the evildoer himself, Osama bin Laden, and deal with the inevitable economic wreckage of their war heist.

of predation. They take unhealthy companies with no credit as well as healthy companies with good credit ratings, leverage them to death, take millions in fees, sometimes even raiding employee pension funds, and then leave the carcass behind for the taxpayers to clean up. And these job creators like the Mittster pay 15 percent capital gains tax on their paper profits while people who labor pay a higher rate on their wages. Its almost enough to make you think that people who call themselves job creators are evildoers.

American financial institutions should stop betting on derivatives

ADDICTION counselors tell their clients, We cant help you until you admit you have a problem. Its time for American financial institutions to admit they have a gambling problem. JPMorgan Chase & Co. earlier this month announced losses, perhaps greater than $5 billion, from bad derivatives bets. Last year we saw UBS suddenly lose $2.3 billion and the hedge fund MF Global implode from derivatives trading. And lets not forget the 2008 failures of American International Group Inc. and Lehman Bros., which triggered an economic crisis from which were still recovering. All from speculative trading by financial institutions in derivatives put bluntly, from gambling. Wall Street firms often misleadingly describe derivatives as assets, investments or insurance. (This last label is sometimes correct but not nearly as often as its claimed.) To really understand derivatives, its essential to recognize that a derivative is simply a wager. This is not a metaphor or figure of speech. Derivatives are literally wagers, agreements that one person will pay money to another if some specified event occurs if interest rates rise, a currency falls, Ill Have Another wins the Belmont Stakes. A Wall Street trader would call a racetrack betting ticket an Ill Have Another victory swap.
COMMENTARY
LYNN STOUT
As the insurance industry shows, wagers can be used to offset risk. When you buy fire insurance, you are betting the insurance company that your house will burn down. If it burns, you win the wager, offsetting the loss of your home. But wagers also are used to speculate, by trying to profit from predicting the future better than others can. If I bet the Yankees will make the World Series, Im seeking profit, not trying to reduce risk. Jamie Dimon, JPMorgans leader, might claim his bank lost on derivative swaps entered into to temper the risk of other derivatives, which in turn reduced risk on bonds the bank holds. But this sounds more like hedging a speculative bet than real insurance. After all, the best and easiest way to hedge against a decline in the value of a liquid asset such as a bond is simply to sell it. Or look at it this way: How can merely buying insurance cause you to suddenly lose $5 billion? Betting including betting with derivatives is a zero-sum game. Winners gains always come from losers pockets. Worse, unless a bet is truly insurance, both sides take on risks they werent exposed to before. So when banks turn away from the boring business of making loans and

helping real companies raise money by issuing stocks and other securities, to focus instead on risky trading primarily to make profits, we should expect to see exactly what we have seen. There are more big winners hedge fund manager John Paulson made billions betting on the subprime mortgage crisis but more big losers, more dramatic institutional collapses and much more systemic risk. The 2008 credit crisis has proved, painfully, how systemic risk harms our economy. And banks gambling in the zero-sum attempt to earn more dividends for bank shareholders and bigger bonuses for bank executives doesnt provide investment capital directly to real businesses, the way lending and underwriting (helping companies
raise cash by selling stocks and bonds) do. While derivatives traders often repeat (without solid evidence) the self-serving claim that their trading is essential for liquid markets and accurate prices, no one who lived through the derivatives-triggered liquidity crunch and wild price swings of fall 2008 should attach much value to these unsupported assertions. History tells us what we can do to keep our financial institutions from collapsing in derivatives-fueled disasters. After the Depression, Congress passed the Glass-Steagall Act, which prohibited deposit-taking banks from indulging in risky proprietary trading. But thanks to intense lobbying, espe-
cially by Citibank, Congress eliminated that prohibition with the Gramm-LeachBliley Act of 1999. A year later, as part of the same deregulatory frenzy, Congress overturned state and federal laws that restricted speculative derivatives trading to clearinghouses run by regulated exchanges. That wave of financial deregulation explained both the sudden rise of an enormous derivatives market and the trading disasters and institutional collapses that followed. The Dodd-Frank Act attempts to stuff the systemic-risk genie back in the bottle by once more restricting deposittaking banks from making risky bets with their own accounts (the so-called Volcker rule) and moving speculative derivatives trading back into regulated clearinghouses. Unfortunately, the financial industry has responded by sending out an army of lobbyists and lawyers to try to dilute the rules and create loopholes big enough, in the words of Michigans Democrat Sen. Carl Levin, that a Mack truck could drive right through it. Our banks still wont admit they have a problem. That means we still have a problem too.

Memorial Day time to remember
emorial Day in recent years has come to symbolize the start of summer, but as many Americans flock to their favorite vacation spots to bask in the sun on the beach, I believe it is important to remember the beaches of Normandy, the sands of Iraq, the deserts of Afghanistan or the countless sacred grounds worldwide. There, Americans paid the ultimate price for the freedoms that many nations including our own enjoy today. I encourage residents of the city this weekend to mark the holiday in their own private ways, whether it be placing an American flag in the lawn, attending a Memorial Day parade or planting flowers next to a veterans headstone in a nearby cemetery. To honor the holiday, the city has lined the Market Street Bridge with American flags, in addition to the flags that fly year round above many city properties including the police station. We always have been blessed with heroic Americans willing to give the last full measure of devotion for their families and their countrymen; and on this holiday, we are obligated to take a moment to remember. Respect-
ing and honoring those people who have answered the noblest call to protect the American ideals and values of freedom, democracy and justice are things we should strive to do every day, not only on Memorial Day. Northeastern Pennsylvania has a proud legacy of service and sacrifice in the defense of freedom. As a people, we have learned the bitter truth that the cost of freedom is never too high but certainly never free.

n The Times Leaders May 11 edition, Carl T. Shaffer provided a commentary titled The costs and consequences of pink slime hysteria. He spoke of the pointless panic resulting from an ABC News broadcast about lean finely textured beef, or LFTB. In response, I say the issue is much less about the product and much more about the nondisclosure. 1. The name: Why LFTB instead of just calling it treated beef trimmings? Possibly because that would correctly identify it as a filler added to increase profit. 2. He maintains it is safe, and I believe it mostly is. However, Diamond Pet Foods recently has had to recall products. Any time there is a process in place to eliminate known health risks (such as E. coli and salmonella), there is

potential for that process to malfunction. And expose school children? 3. It is not legal to sell LFTB as a product by itself. I dont draw a conclusion, but wonder why not. 4. If packages always had been labeled as including LFTB, there might not have been a controversy. But where did the line fall between producers reducing the retail price (as Mr. Shaffer maintains) versus increasing profit? 5. What would be the results if surveys were taken asking the workers in nowclosed plants if they had been using ground beef containing LFTB in their own homes? 6. A TV program showed burgers cooked in the same environment similar frying pans over gas burners. Ground meat containing LFTB had less grease cook out, thus appearing more lean. But those same burgers were deemed to not taste as good as the burgers without LFTB. 7. Mr. Shaffer wrote, Meanwhile, consumers are encouraged to ask questions and critically evaluate what they hear and read. Good advice!

Tough on crime proving too costly
uts in the states education budget can be avoided, provided legislators expeditiously pass laws currently being considered to correct the tough on crime laws passed in the 1980s and 1990s. The proposed state budget
calls for a 20 percent cut in 14 state-owned universities ($82 million), a 30 percent cut in four state-related universities ($146 million), a 4 percent reduction for community colleges and elimination of $100 million in block grants for all-day kindergarten, tutoring and after-school programs. (After-school programs are known to keep adolescents out of trouble, thus some out of prison). Where can the money be found to avoid all these cuts? Incarceration reform! Pennsylvania prisons, which housed 8,000 inmates in the 1980s before the tough on crime laws were passed by the state Legislature, currently house 51,000 at a cost of about $33,000 per inmate per year. At least 27 states have reversed this trend with no adverse effects on public safety. Nonviolent drug and alcohol users, technical parole violators, shoplifters and those people with mental health needs belong in community correction centers (at a cost of around $10,000 or less per year). Texas was able to save an estimated $2 billion by spending $250 million in treatment programs. The current budget for Pennsylvanias Department of Corrections is $1.8 billion for 27 state prisons. This does not include costs for 67 county prisons. If the governor and legislators say we have seven or so pending laws that will reverse the mistakes of the past, ask them to fast-track and implement these laws. As a retired oncologist, I have been a member of the Pennsylvania Prison Society for six years. The society was formed 225 years ago by men such as Benjamin Franklin, Dr. Benjamin Rush and Bishop White. This incredible organization has numerous programs to assist inmates and their families while they are in prison as well as after release,
and it is a longstanding proponent of incarceration reform through laws. For more information, call (215) 564-6005.

Taking issue with Obamacare plans
any people continue to argue the benefits that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or ObamaCare, will provide, but I havent heard any reasonable arguments that explain how it is constitutional. The powers and duties of our federal government are supposed to be based on the Constitution, not on what a group of people think is right or good for themselves or others. The most common argument I hear is this: If the government can make you buy car insurance, it can make you buy health insurance. This one makes absolutely no sense. The federal government doesnt mandate that people purchase auto insurance. Each state makes its own laws regarding how much auto insurance is required. Another common argument is that the federal government mandates everyone to participate in Social Security and Medicare, so it can mandate health insurance. There is a big difference between them. With Social Security and Medicare we are taxed by the federal government. The U.S. Treasury collects those funds, and the federal government provides us with a service in return. That is not the way PPACA is designed. All citizens are forced to purchase insurance from a third-party, private company. Those who dont, have to pay a penalty to the federal government. While Social Security and Medicare force everyone to participate, they dont force anyone to purchase a product from a private company.
I also hear the Commerce Clause cited as granting the federal government the power to enact PPACA. That is nonsense as well. Our Constitution was designed to limit the powers of the federal government. The Founding Fathers suffered through the overbearing rulings coming from England, so they wanted to create a limited government. They wanted a government that left as much power as possible to the states. Anything that the federal government would like to regulate, change or enforce that is not one of the enumerated powers must be added to the Constitution as an amendment. This was the case with the income tax, voter rights, civil rights and numerous other things. This universal health care is no different. The way it is written, the only way I see for the federal government to legally implement this bill is through an amendment to the Constitution that grants the federal government the power to regulate and implement a national health care and insurance program. If the government truly wanted to have universal health care, it simply would have extended the current Medicare program to include everyone and would have increased the Medicare payroll tax deduction to cover the increased costs. The untold reasoning for this massive 2,000-plus page bill, in my opinion, is only to get the individual mandate portion passed. I dont see how, but if the individual mandate is found constitutional, it will set a precedent that the government can use to enact any number of regulations and mandates. The PPACA is nothing more than a power grab by the federal government veiled as health care reform.

luegrass roots run deep and wide. This subgenre of country music has been influenced by Scottish, Irish and English traditional music as well as some jazz elements. A similar feeling of diversities that meld together to make a perfect harmony runs through the Northeast Pennsylvania Bluegrass Festival, which will mark its fifth year next weekend.
The atmosphere is one of friendliness and openness, Grant Harper, 57, of Wyalusing said. Hes attended the festival in Tunkhannock for the past two years. You see these people, all ages, all different backgrounds, coming together and enjoying the same, simple thing: music. The festival takes place over four days at Lazy Brook Park and is organized by Laceyville resident Danny Stewart, who has played mandolin for 30 years. He said the tone of bluegrass itself is enough to bring people together. Theyre songs based on real-life stories and situations, Stewart said.

Dragon stage adaptation was beast

By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY AP Entertainment Writer
IF YOU GO
NEW YORK Besides trying to translate a cartoon movie into a theatrical production, promoter Michael Cohl had other concerns about bringing How To Train Your Dragon to the stage like keeping the audience from getting set ablaze. When you try to make a dragon with a 40-foot wingspan fly and shoot down fire and not burn the audience and not burn the other dragons in the show so you dont have to throw one out every night, thats a challenge, Cohl said in a phone in-

debut on June 27 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre Township. It will tour around the country for the rest of 2012. Cohl, who most recently produced Broadways beleaguered Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, called the production a beast. Its really difficult; everyone
is just scrambling and working ever so hard and pushing ever so hard in getting ready for its North American debut, Cohl said. Its far and away the most ambitious arena thing weve ever done. Still, Cohl felt bringing the dragon cartoon characters to life, so to speak, was a natural. For years and years, you could do things in movies, and here was such a gap, an enormous gap, between the live show and the movies. But that AP PHOTO gap is closing rapidly, he said.

HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youll act out of a high level of responsibility. Circumstances could render a member of your group incapable of making a sound decision, so youll discreetly decide for both of you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It wont help you to be a perfectionist now. Get your work out there in whatever form it happens to exist, at least to a small audience who could help you take it to the next level. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your gift of gab will come in handy, as youll connect with people you wouldnt meet except for the circumstance you create with your conversation. You correctly sense whom youre supposed to know and you start talking. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In all ways, you need to be seen. Start with the outside, and your attitude will echo the change. It may help you to take up more space with your body. Youll feel more powerful and visible. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youre generous, but you dont like to spend money you dont have to spend. Doing research keeps you from unnecessarily wasting money while still giving your loved ones the experiences you want them to have. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you think about the vast airless surface of all the other planets known to man, it becomes clear: Everything, even your own breath, is a gift that life is giving you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Placing too much importance on short-term goals is dangerous. The long view makes potential losses in the immediate environment seem less important. A calm demeanor accompanies the maturity of this kind of thinking. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll feel all sorts of things in the course of an afternoon: comfort, sorrow, frustration, happiness, wonder, excitement. Youll courageously stay with each feeling and let it take its course. This is true courage. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Take your own sweet time. Go at the pace that comes naturally to you, and let the others speed ahead or lag behind; it doesnt matter. Good fortune follows you when you stick to your own clock. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a strong sense of the motives of others, and you will counteract any force in competition for what you want. Your effective use of silence will make a statement that words never could. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You wouldnt believe how delicate certain peoples egos really are. Unless youre careful to apply enormous amounts of sensitivity to a situation, youll soon find out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Easy come, easy go is a good motto for the day. If you get the feeling that youre in the wrong place, move. No need to hang out just to prove there was something right about how you landed where you did. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 27). You have many talents, but youll focus on one in particular and acquire the level of skill youve always wanted. Youll enjoy the way your social environment shapes your plans in June. There will be many glorious encounters with someone who lets you be yourself. September brings different work. Aquarius and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 12, 40, 28 and 45.

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE
Act of kindness touches cashier and customers

Dear Abby: From time to time you print letters about acts of kindness, and Id like to relate one I witnessed: I was working as a cashier in a grocery store. An elderly woman came through my line with about 10 items in her basket, including some strawberries and shortcakes. Making small talk, I commented on how nice the berries looked. She agreed, and informed me that they were a little treat for herself. She said she didnt have much on her late husbands pension. When I told her the total, her face fell and she asked me to take the strawberries and shortcakes off because she couldnt afford them. I was sad and embarrassed for her. I thought about buying them myself, but had no cash on me and wasnt sure if it might violate a store policy. She paid for the remainder of her items and went outside to rest on a bench before walking home. I began scanning the next customers items while trying to put out of my mind the sadness I felt at the ladys disappointment. My customer asked me why the lady hadnt taken her strawberries. I explained and continued totaling the womans sale. The woman then told me to include the strawberries not for herself, but for the lady outside. She wanted no praise or thanks and asked me to give them to the lady. I took them to the lady on the bench and explained that the woman in line behind her had purchased them for her. She looked down at the strawberries, tucked them into her bag and began to cry, murmuring about the kindness of strangers. I went back inside and had to explain to the next 15 minutes worth of customers in my line why I was crying. The woman who bought the strawberries never saw how grateful the lady was, nor how touched I was, or my co-workers and other customers were not only by her kindness, but her humility in making her gift anonymous. She affected so many people that day, I hope those reading this letter will affect and influence many more. Indiana Reader Dear Indiana Reader: Thank you for a sweet and uplifting letter. Im sure it will stimulate others to consider how they, too, can help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Dear Abby: Because many women have stopped wearing pantyhose or stockings when they go out on a dinner date or formal function, would it be a fair turnaround for me to put on a threepiece suit and tie and not wear any socks? Id appreciate your thoughts, please. Sockless in Michigan Dear Sockless: Women who forgo pantyhose or stockings in hot weather usually do it because theyre wearing strappy sandals or open-toed summer footwear. Hosiery doesnt look right with them. I have seen men at least on the West Coast wear Tshirts under their sport coats and go barefoot in their loafers. But I have never seen a man don a three-piece suit and tie and go sockless. (And I never hope to.) I dont recommend it. Dear Abby: I am being married in two months, but my question isnt about weddings. My question is, how can a woman ensure a lasting marriage? About to Become a Mrs. Dear About to Become a Mrs.: At a womens networking event years ago, my mother was asked that question. She replied, One good rule is never go to bed angry. (I agree.) Phyllis Diller was there and topped her. Right! she said. Stay up and fight until youre exhausted. Youll sleep better!

The tricky dance of intimacy

By DAVID L. ULIN Los Angeles Times
Pinstripe Empire: The New York Yankees From Before the Babe to After the Boss, by Marty Appel; Bloomsbury (620 pages, $28)
Marty Appel suffers from a public perception problem. As a longtime sports publicist, he has been grouped into a category of non-journalistic authors who are acknowledged but only semi-respected. This oversight, however, ends now. In Pinstripe Empire: The New York Yankees From Before the Babe to After the Boss, Appel has written an important, memorable and riveting history of the worlds most dominant sports franchise. The book is, as one would expect, voluminous (620 pages, 47 chapters), but reads like a gripping, action-packed novel, one era more fascinating than the next. Though he worked as the Yankees public relations director during much of the George Steinbrenner-Billy Martin-Reggie Jackson heyday (or, one might say, melee), Appel avoids the temptation to hyper-focus on the periods he knows best. Instead, Pinstripe Empire is an ode to the wide-ranging and long-
lasting majesty of the Bronx Bombers. It begins, unconventionally, not with Babe Ruths (fabled) called shot, or Derek Jeters 3,000th hit, but with a man, Phil Schenck, whom the majority of Homo sapiens have never heard of. Back in 1903, Schenck was the head groundskeeper of a brand-new New York baseball team called the Highlanders. With the season fast approaching, according to Appel, Schenck looked across the landscape that would soon become Hilltop Park and wailed, There is not a level spot on the whole property. Behind Wee Willie Keeler, a 12-year veteran who made a whopping $10,000, the Highlanders went 72-62, finishing fourth in the American League and providing fans with what
Appel calls, just not a very exciting ball club. And yet, via Appels craftsmanship, they are exciting. There were oddball trades (the franchises first-ever deal brought Norm The Tabasco Kid Elberfeld from Detroit) and funky nicknames (William Wid Conroy, anyone?) and the clichedyet-genuine ideal of a bunch of hard-charging young men embarking on the adventure of a big league season. In fact, the true beauty of Pinstripe Empire doesnt emerge with the big moments, but in the small, obscure slivers in time that most fans either never knew or simply forgot.

I dare anyone to try not to smile and tap their feet to a real driving bluegrass band, April said. Playing, for all of us, takes it to another level and can turn the worst day into pure exhilaration. The festival isnt designed solely for watching performers on stage, however. Its also a haven for both skilled and novice musicians. Workshops will run throughout the weekend, based on in-

just come and jam, whether theyve been a part of the scene or are just getting into it. Its a really welcoming atmosphere.
First things first: If you havent read Fun Home, Alison Bechdels 2006familymemoirincomicform, drop everything and get a copy right away. In its pages, Bechdel does the miraculous: tracing deftly and with nuance her complex, claustrophobic relationship with her father, an English teacher and closeted gay man who died in 1980 (in what was either accident or suicide), shortly after Bechdel came out as a lesbian. IbringupFunHomenotmerely to praise it (OK, maybe a little) but because it plays a large part in Bechdels second book, Are You My Mother?, which turns the lens on her mother. In the opening scene, Bechdel is almost killed by a Sunbeam Bread truck, the same kind of truck that killed her father, as she debateshowtotellhermotherthatshe iswritingaboutthefamily.Thisstory begins when I began to tell another story, Bechdel writes, tracing a link between the two books from the start. Except, of course, that theres a catch in writing about her mother since, unlike Bechdels father, she is living,makingthedynamicbetween them ongoing, without a clearly defined beginning or end. Thisisoneofmydifficultiesnow, she notes, ... my fear that Mom will find this memoir about her angry. Another difficulty is the fact that the story of my mother is unfolding even as I write it. Add to this both mother and daughters sense of memoir as a genre defined by inaccuracy, exhibitionism, narcissism, and you have a potent, if perhaps insurmountable, set of challenges. How does one produce a memoir about the production of a memoir? How interior is it possible for a narrative to go? Such questions, it turns out, are hardly academic; rather, they frame the book in many ways. This is a mixed blessing for it undermines Bechdels finest talent, which is to use visual storytelling to take us, somehow, below the surface to createimagesthatexposethedepths of her emotional life. Early in Are You My Mother? she builds a twopage spread around a series of five photographs, all vividly re-created, portraying her as a 3-month-old in her mothers arms. The sequence is affecting as they make faces at each other, rising to a shriek of joy. And yet, this is all illusion; as Bechdel admits, I dont have the negatives, so theres no way to know their chronological order. But Ive arranged them according to my own narrative. Thats what a memoirist does: Take the vapor trail of the past and reconstruct it, imposing meaning on the chaos of real life. Bechdel makes that point explicit with the final image, in which her infant self looks into the camera, laughter fading to a look of fear. The moment is shattered, she explains, as I notice the man with the camera. At three months, I had seen enough of my fathers rages to be wary of him. The power of this observation resides in both its specificity and its conditionality, the tension between the evidence of the photo and Bechdels analysis. How do we know anything, she is asking, except through the filter of our own imaginations? And if imagination is the key, how do we ever know whats real and whats imposed? Were Bechdel able to stay with this, Are You My Mother? might have been more compelling: a memoir about questions, about the conditional nature of, well, everything. As it is, however, she does an unwieldy dance around these issues, over-intellectualizing her story, relying on extended interior or critical monologues at moments when narrative alone, she seems to feel, will not suffice.

THEME PARKS BIGGER, BETTER

New attractions and coasters heating up the summer fun
By MITCH STACY Associated Press
RLANDO, Fla. The first phases of a reimagined Fantasyland at Floridas Walt Disney World, the new Cars Land at Californias Disneyland based on the Cars movies, and Universal Studios Hollywoods new Transformers ride top the list of new attractions at theme parks across the country in 2012. And thrill ride enthusiasts wont be disappointed, with at least 20 new roller coasters debuting at parks from Maryland to California. Disney says the renovation and new construction at Fantasyland inside the Magic Kingdom in Florida is the largest expansion project in the parks 40-year history, doubling the size of the current Fantasyland. Part of it including one of what will eventually be dueling Dumbo rides and the rethemed Barnstormer family roller coaster opened in April. Much of the construction is still in the middle stages, but Disney says most of the new elements will be open in time for the winter holidays this year, with the rest opening later. Its going to include new attract-areas immersive mini-parks that include attractions, restaurants and retail built around the stories of Snow White and Beauty and Beast, as well as a new dark ride based on the adventures of The Little Mermaid. Replacing Snow Whites Scary Adventures in Fantasyland will be Princess Fairytale Hall, where visitors will be able to interact with all the Disney princesses. Industry consultant Dennis Speigel said the Fantasyland expansion with detail-oriented ar-
eas immersing guests in Disneythemed worlds is expected to pay dividends for years, much like the hugely successful Harry Potter mini-park at Universal Orlando, where visitors feel like theyve been dropped right into meticulously decorated movie sets. Its a big deal, Speigel, president of Cincinnati-based International Theme Park Services, said of the Fantasyland project. Its the largest expansion ever in the history of the park. The last number we heard is that its approaching $500 million....Parks have realized it takes more than a Space Mountain by itself or one ride and attraction. It has to have a combination of all the elements now. In June, Disneyland California Adventure is opening Cars Land, replicating the town of Radiator Springs from the movies, including a race-course ride and two other new little-kid-friendly attractions. Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles is expected to debut the new Transformers ride a dark ride with motion-simulator vehicles inspired by the science fiction action film on Friday (May 25), with gates opening early Memorial Day weekend (starting at 7:30 a.m. Saturday) due to expected interest in the ride. On May 8, Universal Orlando introduced a daily interactive character parade and nighttime pyrotechnics show celebrating Universals 100 years of making movies. A new 3-D ride based on the Despicable Me movie will open at Universal Orlando sometime this summer. In April, SeaWorld Orlando opened a new attraction centered on sea turtles, including a first-ofits-kind 360-degree domed theater showing a 3-D movie about the endangered creatures. Lego-

land, which opened in October in central Florida, is renovating and reopening an existing water park at the site in time for the summer season. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay this spring rolled out an elaborate ice show called Iceploration, which features everything from bombastically costumed skaters to real live exotic birds flying around the indoor theater. The show tells the story of a kid who, with the help of his wise grandfather, puts down his electronic devices and discovers the natural wonders of the world. And entering the cool indoor theater for the 30-minute show will undoubtedly be a welcome respite for park visitors in the heat of the Florida summer.
Among the new coasters debuting are Manta at SeaWorld San Diego, which will simulate underwater flight; and Superman-themed launch coasters at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, Calif., and Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, Calif. Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Ill., introduces a new coaster called X-Flight, in which two riders sit side-by-side with their feet dangling, experience a 12-story drop and turn upside down five times. Hersheypark in Hershey, Pa., introduces a 200-foot-tall coaster called Skyrush, which will reach speeds of 75 mph and includes five zero-G airtime hills. Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., opened the 210-foot-tall Wild Eagle coaster in March. Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Virginia un-
