year-old, 30-foot tall vertical boring mill, Re-
publican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney
said he wants to bring manufacturing jobs
back to the United States.
Romney spoke before a crowd of hundreds
Saturday inside a machine garage at the
Weatherly Casting and Machine Co., a spe-
cialty alloy foundry and machine shop that
has done business in Carbon and Luzerne
counties for more than 100 years.
Romneys speech was harshly critical of
President Barack Obama and focused on get

With Fathers Day upon us, many dads
across the country are spending some quality
time with their children today fishing, bar-
bequing, maybe just enjoying each others
company.
But many others are not.
One out of three children lives in a home
without their biological father, notes Wilkes-
Barre YMCA Communications and Market-
ing Director Meghan Davis.
And, societal factors such as unemploy-
ment, work-life balance or a lack of resources
can affect fathers ability to seek support in
strengthening their parenting skills andmore
fully engaging in the lives of their children,
Davis said.
Indeed, single moms living with their child
or children comprise 24 percent of all family
households withone or more relatedchildren

The passage of 40 years hasnt mud-
died the images and emotions of Trop-
ical Storm Agnes for Swoyersville resi-
dent Chaz Cywinski.
I was right in the center of the thing.
Ill never forget it.
He was living in a second-floor apart-
ment in Forty Fort and drove his wife,
child and neighbors to the nearby Dana
Street School, a designated safe place,
so he could sandbag at the levee behind
the Forty Fort Cemetery.
The army of volunteers couldnt keep
up with the Susquehanna River water
seeping through the levee base. Scream-
ing into a megaphone, the commander
suddenly ordered people to flee as the
water burst through.

Agnes stole Jerry Longs belongings
and forced him to move his wedding to
another church, but Lee was even more
menacing and threatened his livelihood.
Long, of Plymouth Township, is a sur-
vivor of both top two record Susquehan-
na River floods caused by tropical
storms Agnes in 1972 and Lee in 2011.
Lee was more damaging to his town-
ship, which has no levee, because the
water was higher. The river crested at
42.66 feet on Sept. 8, nearly 2 feet above
the previous record of 40.9 feet on June
24, 1972.
But Agnes still stands out because
Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, Plymouth and
other levee-protected communities
werefloodedbackthen, Longsaid. Alev-
ee-raisingproject that beganin1997con-
tained the river in September.
Agnes was devastating to more peo-
ple, but the communities not protected
by levees got a lot more water this time,
said Long.
His business, Township Auto on
Route 11, had 9 feet of water in Septem-
ber, compared to the 7 feet recorded un-
der another owner in 1972.
He was 17 during the 72 flood, which
topped the roof of his family home on
Route 11.
Furniture and photos hauled to the at-
tic for protection were gone, and the
For many, 2011 flood brought feeling of deja vu
For some, Lee was worse than Agnes
and they dont want to see another
repeat of once-in-a-lifetime event.

WEEKLY LOTTERY
SUMMARY
dustry and health care.
Romney said he has spoken
withsmall business owners along
the campaign trail including a
round-table discussion with
Northeastern Pennsylvania busi-
ness-owners prior to his speech
andthat their needs andObamas
economic policies are out of sync.
Somehow, what Ive heard
from people who actually create
jobs is different
from than what I
heardfromthe guy
who wants to hang
ontohis job, Rom-
ney said, referring
to Obama.
Romney re-
ferred to Weather-
ly Casting and Ma-
chine Co. Presi-
dent Mike Leib as
an example of whom Obama
should listen to in developing his
economic policy.
Leib employs 74 at his Weath-
erly plant and 48 at an associated
company in Hazleton. He recent-
ly began manufacturing metal
components of pumps usedinhy-
draulic fracturing by the Marcel-
lus Shale natural gas industry.
If you want to know who can
really get this economy going in
this country, go and talk to small
businesses in your community;
talk to people like Mike; talk with
the men and women I spoke with
this morning, Romney said. All
kinds of businesses; go and see
them, and say, oh, by the way,
over the past three and a half
years, have the presidents poli-
cies made it easier or made it har-
der for youtowant tohirepeople?
I know what theyre going to tell
you.
Romney related a story from a
Williamsport-area optometrist,
who told the presidential hopeful
he needed to fill out a 33-page
document three times to change
his address for Medicaid reim-
bursements.
This kind of government, reg-
ulatory and bureaucratic maze
that small businesses encounter
in this country is making it hard
for them to grow and hire peo-
ple, Romney said.
The former Massachusetts
governor saved some of his har-
shest criticism for the Health
Care Reform Act passed under
and supported by Obama.
Its not goodfor our health; its
not goodfor our economy; itsbad
for creating jobs and Imgoing to
get rid of it on day one, Romney
said.
Though not the focus, as it was
during Romneys April campaign
stopinTunkhannock, Romneyal-
so discussed energy during his
25-minute speech, saying he sup-
ports development of all Ameri-
cas energy resources, including
the Marcellus and other natural
gas plays and drilling in Alaska
and off-shore.
The message hit home with
Leib, whose company manufac-
turescomponentsusedinthegas,
oil and coal industries and relies
on affordable electricity to run
electric furnaces used in metal
casting.
Leib said he told Romney that
anything that subsidizes non-ef-
ficient energy, like solar panels
and windmills, is going to raise
the cost of electricityis goingto
drive energy-intensive business-
es out of business here. Were not
going to be able to commit.
Leib said energy was also the
main topic of discussion in the
round-table with area business
leaders held prior to Romneys
speech, whichincludedrepresen-
tatives of gas companies and
companies working with the
drillingindustryas well as afarm-
er who leased his land for gas
drilling.
Romney said his top three pri-
orities as president would be
drafting an energy policy that
takes advantage of domestic re-
sources as much as possible, get-
ting rid of Obamacare and work-
ing toward a balanced budget.
He positioned himself as a can-
didate with business leadership
experience who understands the
needs of businesses and how to
create a more positive environ-
ment for growth.
Too often the people in gov-
ernment seem to think that may-
be business people are onthe oth-
er side of the aisle. We should ad-
mit that were all together in this
country. The government
doesnt recognize that their job is
tomakeAmerica thebest placein
theworldfor entrepreneurs, inno-
vators, small businesses and job
creators, because job one has got
to be to create jobs for the Amer-
ican people, and I will do that.
In introducing Romney, U.S.
Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton,
and former Minnesota Gov. Tim
Pawlenty also seized on the pro-
business message.
This is really what America is
all about, these types of jobs, the
manufacturingbasethat America
is losing because of Washington
andthis administration, Barletta
said. Wehaveonemoreopportu-
nity; one more chance to get off
the road were on. Theres one
more exit left on this road, and
that exit is in November.
What (small businesses are)
saying to this president, what
theyre saying to the White
House, what theyre saying to
Washington D.C., if only they
would listen; theyre saying this:
Get thegovernment off myback.
The message resonated with
the large pro-Romney crowd,
much of which couldnt fit in the
garagewhereRomneyspoke. The
space allowed seating for about
150, andthosewithout seatslined
the walls and lined up outside,
where they couldhear the speech
over a PA system.
I thinkhehit all thepoints that
people are concerned about: the
economy, jobs, national security,
said Mark Robins of Coaldale,
Schuylkill County. Its a jobs ar-
ea; were (economically) de-
pressed. It was good to hear what
he woulddo. He was very concise
about what hes going to do, and
thats important.
Hes going to knock out some
of the rules, the regulations that
Obama has imposed, said Linda
Grady of Drums. I think it will
bring some jobs back to the Unit-
ed States if hes president.
Scott Henry, executivedirector
of the Luzerne County Republi-
can Party, said jobs will continue
to be an issue in Northeastern
Pennsylvania this election.
Northeastern Pennsylvanias
going to be a really important ar-
ea nationally for the presidential
election, Henrysaid. Its anarea
thats been hit really hard by the
poor economy over the last four
years, so for Romney to be here,
its great.
Theres a lot of people in this
area who are going to work really
hard to get him elected, Henry
added.
Democrats also turned out for
the event, staging a counter-rally
across the street fromthe plant.
Carbon County Democratic
CommitteeChairmanBillyOGu-
rek criticized Romneys econom-
ic plan, saying Gov. Romney
wants to go back to the economic
policies of the past that we saw:
less regulation and more tax cuts
bytrillions; thesamepolicies that
got us into the economic situa-
tion that we face today.
He also criticized Romneys re-
cord as former governor of Mas-
sachusetts, saying that under
Romney the state was 47th in the
nationinjobcreationandtookon
the highest per capita debt in
America. Romney also vetoed a
bill to raise the states minimum
wage but cut taxes for its richest
citizens, OGurek said.
The people of Carbon County
really cant relate to the things
hes done as governor, OGurek
said.
OGureks father, CarbonCoun-
ty Commissioner William OGu-
rek Sr., added that Romney had a
devastating record of protect-
ing manufacturing jobs as Massa-
chusetts governor, losing jobs in
the manufacturing sector at
twice the national rate.
The president believes the
economy grows not from the top
down, but from the middle class
out, and has an economic plan to
do that, OGurek said.

W-B residence searched as part of drug probe
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Wilkes-Barre police served a search warrant Saturday afternoon at a residence at 27
Simpson St. as part of a drug investigation. Undercover and uniformed officers were at
the house around 3:30 p.m. and a drug-sniffing dog was taken inside. Several people
were home at the time. No further information was available Saturday night.
WILKES-BARRE -- A 20-year-
old Kingston woman was arrest-
ed and charged Saturday in the
hit-and-run crash Friday involv-
ing a disabled man in a wheel-
chair, police said.
Danielle Castrignano, accom-
panied by an attorney, met with
police and was later committed
to the Luzerne County Correc-
tional Facility on an alleged pa-
role violation.
She was awaiting arraignment
on a number of charges. The
most serious one was a third-de-
gree felony, accidents involving
death or personal injury. The
other charges were all summary
offenses: careless driving caus-
ing serious bodily injury, reck-
less driving, duty to give infor-
mation and render aid, and im-
mediate notice of an accident to
police.
The man she allegedly hit, Co-
rey Ryan of Wilkes-Barre, re-
mained in critical condition at
Geisinger Wyoming Valley Med-
ical Center in Plains Township.
Ryan was crossing South Riv-
er Street at West Northampton
Street around 2:15 a.m. Friday
when he was hit and thrown
from his wheelchair, landing on
the pavement, police said.
The car driven by Castrignano
was traveling north on South
River Street and was recorded
by surveillance cameras leaving
the scene and turning onto the
Market Street Bridge toward
Kingston, police said.
Until Castrignano came for-
ward, police asked the public for
help in locating the driver and
the car, possibly an older model
Honda or Subaru with a sunroof,
that was expected to have dam-
age to the hood and right front
fender.

WILKES-BARRE -- With summer
here, area children are looking for fun
things to do in addition to swimming
and playing sports, and the Friends of
the Osterhout Free Library have once
againprovidedthe opportunity for good
use of summer time toarea childrenand
adults during its annual book sale.
The annual book sale is a major fun-
draiser for the library and money raised
helps to fill gaps, in programs who
have lost funding from others sources.
Over the last 35 years, the friends have
donated more than $320,000 to the li-
brary from funds raised during the
event.
The sale will run each
day this week through
Saturday.
The sale, which takes
place under the big tent
on the grounds of the li-
brary, is filled with area
residents hoping for a
bargain book for the up-
coming summer days.
The books themselves reflect the di-

This August, the Back Mountain
Harvest Assembly is slated to open its
K-through-eighth-grade day school,
the Rock Solid Christian Academy.
The academy will be the first
school to open in Dallas Township
since last years announcement that
community cornerstone Gate of
Heaven would not be reopening for
the 2011-12 academic year.
Located in the Twin Stacks Com-
plex off Dallas Memorial Highway,
Rock Solid is two years in the making,
having first been discussed by the
Harvest Assembly Board in January
2010.
After a long spell of board meet-
ings, academic conferences and
school visits, the Harvest Assemblys
once-distant dream has finally come
to fruition.
Pastor Dan Miller was the driving
force behind Rock Solid at its incep-
tion. Miller was motivated to open a
Christian day school by the harsh eco-
nomic climate of 2010, in which he
witnessed local parochial schools
closing with startling frequency.
In particular, the closing of Cathol-
ic parochial school Gate of Heaven
left Dallas without the Christian
school that had served elementary
school students for decades.
Miller was disheartened that West
Side parents did not have ready ac-
cess to a Christian-based school

LEHMAN TWP. With yet another
year remaining on their contract, teach-
ers in the Lake-Lehman School District
voted Saturday to extend it for two
more years, a union representative said.
The contract runs
until Aug. 31, 2015,
with the extension,
said John Holland, the
regional field director
for the Pennsylvania
State Education Asso-
ciation.
He declined to dis-
cuss the vote and the
contract terms at this
time, saying he would
talk about it once
union members have
everything in hand.
After three years of ne-
gotiations the union
approved a seven-year
contract in July 2009.
Explaining the reason for the exten-
sion, he said, The board and the asso-
ciation looked at whats in the best in-
terest of the district, the community,
the students and the staff.
The agreement appears to have
smoothed out some differences be-
tween the union and the district over
its decision to leave the Northeast
Pennsylvania School District Health
Trust. It was formed in 1999 by a num-
ber of districts to reduce health insur-
ance rates.

Syrian mission suspended
U
.N. observers in Syria suspended
their activities and patrols Sat-
urday because of escalating violence in
the country, the head of the mission
said, the strongest sign yet that an
international peace plan for Syria is
disintegrating.
Maj. Gen. Robert Mood said rising
bloodshed over the past 10 days was
posing significant risks to the lives of
the 300 unarmed observers in the
country, and was impeding their ability
to carry out their mandate.
The observers were sent to the coun-
try after international envoy Kofi An-
nan brokered a peace plan that in-
cluded a cease-fire that was supposed
to take effect on April 12. But both
sides have continued to stage daily
attacks and the observers themselves
have been caught up in the violence.
PITTSBURGH
Dems challenge voter law
Democrats on Allegheny Countys
elections board plan to challenge Penn-
sylvanias GOP-backed voter ID law.
County Executive Rich Fitzgerald
said Fridaythe legal action to be taken
this week will argue the law is too
expensive and difficult to implement in
time for the November election.
The American Civil Liberties Union
of Pennsylvania and others have al-
ready challenged the law on constitu-
tional grounds, arguing that it makes it
harder for some citizens to vote, espe-
cially the elderly and minorities. Back-
ers say the law, similar to measures
recently passed in other states, will
reduce existing and potential voter
fraud.
Fitzgerald who was joined by
more than a dozen other Pittsburgh,
Allegheny County and state Democrat-
ic officeholders said officials also
believe that the law will make it more
difficult for poor, minority and elderly
voters with IDs to casts ballots.
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA
Princes death opens door
For the second time in less than a
year, Saudi Arabia was thrown into the
process of naming a new heir to the
countrys 88-year-old king following the
death Saturday of Crown Prince Nayef
bin Abdul-Aziz.
That forces a potentially pivotal
decision: Whether to bring a younger
generation a step closer to ruling one
of the Wests most critical Middle East
allies. King Abdullah has now outlived
two designated successors, despite
ailments of his own.
Its widely expected that the current
succession order will stand and Nayefs
brother, Defense Minister Prince Sal-
man another elderly and ailing son
of the countrys founding monarch
will become the No. 2 to the throne of
OPECs top producer.
LIMA, OHIO
Woman drives into crowd
A 63-year-old woman suddenly drove
her car into a crowded town square in
northwest Ohio and struck bystanders,
sending some through the air and
injuring about 30 people, some of
whom were pinned under the car and
freed when bystanders lifted it, author-
ities and witnesses said.
No one was killed, but some victims
suffered serious injuries to their legs,
heads and necks, police said. A hospital
spokeswoman said about 30 people
were treated Friday night. All but four
were released, and at least one other
victim was taken to another hospital.
The chaotic scene unfolded after 9
on Friday night in Lima, where more
than 1,000 people had gathered for a
weekly community event.

Marine maneuvers hot in Cleveland
Four Marines are lifted off Burke Lake-
front Airport in Cleveland by a CH-46
helicopter Saturday in a combat dem-
onstration during Marine Week festiv-
ities in the city.
The eyewitness testimony that con-
fronted jurors in Jerry Sanduskys child-
molestation trial this week was disturb-
ing not only for its graphic descriptions
of sex with boys, but for what it said
about the people who surrounded and
maybe even protected the once-revered
Penn State assistant coach.
Eight accusers took the witness
stand and described howSandusky mo-
lested themright under the noses of his
friends, colleagues, family members
and acquaintances.
The Sandusky story, the way author-
ities have framed it, is one littered with
missed chances to stop a rapist who
preyed on children for years.
Prosecutors have
hinted that top uni-
versity officials knew
far more about Sand-
uskys alleged procliv-
ities than they have
let on, submitting a
document Monday
that says Penn States
former vice president himself facing
charges related to the scandal main-
tained a file on Sandusky a decade ago.
A Penn State trustee told The Associ-
ated Press he now suspects a cover-up.
Yet evidence and testimony from the
trial also show there were plenty of
people, not just those at the highest lev-
els of the university, who had ample op-
portunity to stop a man accused of vio-
lating 10 boys over 15 years, among
them:
A janitor failed to tell authorities
he allegedly caught Sandusky perform-
ing oral sex on a boy in a campus show-
er a dozen years ago, among them:.
A district attorney declined to
charge Sandusky over a 1998 molesta-
tion allegation even though the detec-
tive who investigated thought it was a
solid case. The DA, Ray Gricar, disap-
peared in 2005 and was declared legally
dead last year.
And, famously, coaching assistant
Mike McQueary saw Sandusky having
what he believed to be anal sex with a
young boy in 2001. But his report to
Athletic Director Tim Curley and Vice
President Gary Schultz went nowhere.
McQuearys dad testified that during a
conversation, Schultz said he was sus-
picious of Sandusky, and NBC reported
last week that emails between former
university President Graham Spanier
and Schultz aiming to keep McQue-
arys allegation fromgoing further were
turned over to the attorney general.
Keith Masser, a Penn State trustee,
said in an interview that he initially
thought the scandal was about a failure
of administrative oversight of the foot-
ball program. Now he suspects it goes
deeper.
When the board of trustees ousted
Spanier on Nov. 9, four days after Sand-
uskys arrest, it was because we didnt
have confidence in his ability to lead us
through this crisis, Masser said. We
had no idea (at the time) he would be
involved in a cover-up.
Masser stressed he was speaking for
himself and not the board at large.
Louis Freeh, the former FBI director,
was hired by the board of trustees to
investigate the scandal. His report
could be released in late summer.
Spanier, who has not been charged
with any crime, did not respond to
email and phone messages. His attor-
ney did not return a phone call.
The trial is scheduled to enter its
fifth day Monday as prosecutors near
the end of their case. Sandusky denies
all the charges. His attorney has sug-
gested the accusers are twisting the
truth because they intend to sue.
Multiple missed opportunities seen
After a week of testimony in the
Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse trial,
some see disturbing pattern.

WASHINGTON Theres
not much President Barack Oba-
ma can do to boost the economy
in the next five months, and that
alone might cost him the No-
vember election. But on a range
of social issues, Obama is by-
passing Congress and aggres-
sively using his executive pow-
ers to make it easier for gays to
marry, women to obtain birth
control, and, now, young illegal
immigrants to avoid deporta-
tion.
Its a political gamble that
might fire up conservatives,
many of whom remain cool to
Republican candidate Mitt Rom-
ney. Democrats think its more
likely to inspire enthusiasm
among groups that were crucial
to Obamas 2008 victory
young voters, women and His-
panics.
Romney took six hours Friday
to offer a short and carefully
worded comment that criticized
Obamas new immigration poli-
cy for not providinga long-term
solution.
Romney didnt say whether he
would overturn it if elected. But
by noting it can be reversed by
subsequent presidents, he
might have sown doubts in the
minds of some young illegal im-
migrants studying the policy.
Obama looks like the bigger
risk-taker. He doesnt have many
options.
He is constrained by a com-
plex, interrelatedandfrail global
economy, and by a Republican-
run House. With a single action,
however, Obama can allow gays
and lesbians to serve openly in
the military; direct Catholic-af-
filiated employer insurance
plans to cover contraceptives;
and protect hundreds of thou-
sands of young illegal immi-
grants from being deported.
Obama took that last step Fri-
day. It delighted many Hispanic
groups while prompting Repub-
lican officials to grouse more
about the process he used than
the actual policy.

policy is
risky for

CAIROFacedwitha choice between
Hosni Mubaraks ex-prime minister and
an Islamist candidate, Egyptians entered
their latest round of elections in an atmo-
sphere of suspicion, resignation and wor-
ry, voting ina presidential runoff that will
mean the difference between installing a
remnant of the old regime and bringing
more Islaminto government.
The race between Ahmed Shafiq, a ca-
reer air forceofficer likeMubarak, andthe
Muslim Brotherhoods Mohammed Mor-
si, a U.S.-trained engineer, has deeply di-
vided the country, 16 months after a stun-
ning uprising by millions forced the au-
thoritarianMubaraktostepdownafter29
years inoffice.
The two-day vote is taking place under
the shadow of political dramas over the
past week that effectively mean the mili-
tary generals who took power after Mub-
araks ouster will continue to rule despite
promises to hand over authority to the
elected president by July 1. The generals
took over legislative powers after Egypts
highest court on Thursday ordered the
dissolution of the parliament elected just
six months ago, and the military made a
de facto declarationof martial law.
Using diplomatic language to convey
Washingtons concernabout thelatest de-
velopment in longtime ally Egypt, U.S.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta under-
lined to Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi,
Egypts militaryruler, theneedtoensure
a full and peaceful transition to democra-
cy.
Intheir phonecall Friday, Tantawi, who
was Mubaraks defense minister of 20
years, confirmed the militarys intention
to transfer power to a democratically
elected government by July 1, according
to the U.S. Defense Department.
On Saturday, few voters showed the
sense of celebration visible in previous
votes. The prevailing mood was one of
deep anxiety over the future whether
bitterness that their revolution had
stalled, fears that whoever wins protests
will erupt, ordeepsuspicionthatthepolit-
ical systemwasbeingmanipulated. More-
over, there was a sense of voting fatigue.

ATHENS, Greece Elections are sup-
posedtodetermine the will of the people,
toset a nationona newcourse witha gov-
ernment that enjoys the mandate of the
majority. In splintered Greece, the vote
today is shaping up as a challenge to this
time-honored rule of democracy.
For Greeks are in a collective state of
depression, burdened not just by the
shriveling of their finances, but also polit-
ical divisions with deep roots in history
and confusion over their identity and the
very concept of statehood. And yet an
anxious worldis looking to this tiny actor
on the international stage for clues to
whether the global economy will cling to
a pathof gradual recovery, or veer toward
another destructive scenario like the one
that followed the 2008 collapse of Leh-
man Brothers.
People are in agony about their sav-
ings; their jobs, their safety, their future
(and their childrens future), Stathis
Psillos, a philosophy professor at the Uni-
versity of Athens, wrote in an email.
Todays electionis seenas pivotal inde-
termining whether Greece pitches deep-
er into economic chaos, and is forced to
returnto its oldcurrency, the drachma
an eventuality that amounts to, at least in
the short term, a journey into an econom-
ic and social void and whether Europe
fragments or eventually becomes more
unified. Abroad, there is concern that a
victory for the left-wing party could trig-
ger market panic anddrag downother ec-
onomically vulnerable countries such as
Spain and Italy, and then ripple across
other continents. The Greek outcome
will be watched closely by leaders of the
worlds 20 most important economies,
whoare meetingthis weekendinMexico.
Elena Athanassopoulou, a political sci-
enceprofessor at theAmericanCollegeof
Greece, predicted painful negotiations
among parties that would lead to a gov-
ernment after the vote, and said political
stability was vital to prevent Greece go-
ing any further down the slope.
World will be watching as Greeks go to the polls
Hopes for continuing recovery or a
return to recession are riding on
decision of the tiny democracy.

Today, Fathers Day reminds
us why its important to recog-
nize fathers and provide them
with the support they need to be
the best parents and caregivers
they can be, Davis said.
More thana century ago, Davis
notes, Sonora Louis Smart Dodd
aspiredtocreate a holiday tohon-
or fathers. The daughter of a sin-
gle father and Civil War veteran
was inspired by a Mothers Day
sermon and wondered why there
was no holiday for fathers.
After securing support from
ministers in Spokane, Wash., her
idea came to fruition with the
first Fathers Day celebration at
the Spokane YMCA on June 19,
1910, Davis said.
And the Y remains dedicated
to providing resources and op-
portunities for fathers to further
involvethemselves inthewell-be-
inganddevelopment of their chil-
dren.
As a nonprofit committed to
strengthening community
through youth development,
healthy living and social respon-
sibility, the Ybelieves that strong
family bonds are a foundation of
strong communities, and we
work to help all families to learn,
grow and thrive, Davis said.
There are a varietyof programs
at the Wilkes-Barre Family YM-
CAthat foster understandingand
companionship between chil-
dren and their fathers (and
moms, too).
Today, the Wilkes-Barre Y is
holding its annual Wilkes-Barre
Duathlon, with proceeds benefit-
ingall youthprograms heldat the
Jewish Community Center and
the Wilkes-Barre Y.
In addition, YMCA Camp
Kresge inWhite Havenis holding
a free Military Appreciation Day,
thanks toa partnershipwithMer-
icle Commercial Real Estate. The
program is open to all military
personnel and their families, and
includes a picnic-style lunch. The
camp is also having a father/son
weekend this weekend.
The Boy Scouts of America al-
so promote fun activities to
strengthen the bond between fa-
ther and son.
This is precious time to spend
with them so you can build that
bond, Mike LaPolla, senior exec-
utive with the Boy Scouts North-
eastern Pennsylvania Council,
said of a Pinewood Derby the
council hosted Saturday at Mi-
sericordia University.
LaPolla said he has a 2-year-
old son and wants to spend ev-
ery moment with him to watch
himgrowup. When they get to
be teens, life starts getting more
involved. And theyre like, stay at
home, mom and dad, Im going

LaPolla said its important to
show youth that its important to
be involved in the community.
Communities dont thrive by
themselves; they rely on the in-
volvement of people in the com-
munity. Parents should be in-
volved to help their children opt
in for that, he said.

three or more children younger than 18 (among married-couple family
households only); 3 percent lived in someone elses home.

ents were men. Ten percent were raising three or more children young-
er than 18. About 45 percent were divorced, 31 percent were never
married, 19 percent were separated, and 5 percent were widowed. And
38 percent had an annual family income of $50,000 or more.
176,000 Estimated number of stay-at-home dads in 2011. These mar-
ried fathers with children younger than 15 have remained out of the

ily while their wives work outside the home. These fathers cared for
upwards of 332,000 children.

DALLAS TWP. -- About 50 re-
gional Boy Scouts competed in
the second annual Pinewood
Derby on Saturday at Misericor-
dia University.
Organizers saidit was not only
a great event for the scouts to
use their fledgling automotive
engineering skills, but also a
phenomenal time for the boys.
The competitors had to build
a model race car that could trav-
el down a specially made 480-
foot track for a distance longer
thanthe existingnational record
of 263 feet.
That record was crushed from
the first attempt.
Dexter Leoble, senior market-
ing director from the events
sponsor, Edwards Business Sys-
tems, a Scranton-based office
support services firm, said the
first contestant blew by the old
record setting a new one at 406
feet.
By the time it was over, most
of the contestants were able to
beat the old record, Leoble said.
Joseph Kraynak, 7, of Moun-
tainTop, wonthe top spot witha
record 457 feet. He was
thrilled, his family members
said.
The youngster began working
on his special car with his grand-
father after breaking his arm
during the holidays, his father,
Ed, said. It helpedhimcope with
his recovery, Kraynak said.
Withthe recordcurrently rest-
ing in Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia, Leoble expects the competi-
tion to heat up. He said his com-
pany is ready to invest more to
grow the event to stadium pro-
portions.
On Saturday, volunteers con-
structed a special platform for
the cars to be launched and care-
fully assembled the wooden
track, said Mike LaPolla, senior
scouting executive from the
Northeast Pennsylvania Boy
Scout Council.
He appreciated seeing the
scouts showing up with their
family, friends and supporters.
Many scouts worked with their
fathers on this project making it
a good Fathers Day-related
time, he said.
LaPolla described how each
contestant built a car from an 8-
inch piece of balsa wood, four
wheels and 5 ounces of weights.
However, the decoratingwas left
totally up to the scout builders,
resulting in some very creative
looks.
One car had in it a fisherman
holding a pole, LaPolla said.
Others came in myriad colors
anddesigns all basedonthe pref-
erences of the racing crews.
LaPolla and Leoble thanked
Misericordia for allowing them
to use its grounds and North
American Warhorse in Scranton
for helping themstore the mate-
rials used to build the platform
and race track.
LaPolla stressed the volun-
teers worked for four months to
prepare.
The goal for Edwards Busi-
ness Systems was to provide
important leadership opportu-
nities for local scouts as well as
a way for them to have fun, Le-
oble said. He expects to contin-
ue this young tradition locally,
adding the company already has
plans for next year.

education in June 1990 as direc-
tor of the Ranch Hope Special
Activity Camp, a program for
disabled boys in Alloway, N.J.
But DiPippa, a Berwick native
familiar with Northeastern
Pennsylvania, soon found a posi-
tion as the physical fitness di-
rector of the Wilkes-Barre YM-
CA. There he founded the
YouthFit Program, the first local
physical fitness initiative for
grades PK-8.
By 1995, DiPippa had ascend-
ed to the position of associate
director of the YMCA. He held
that post until 2002, when he
founded Alpha and Omega Fit-
ness, a local personal training
group. His involvement with Al-
pha and Omega ceased when he
again became involved in youth
education two years later, as the
director of the Jewish Commu-
nity Center in Wilkes-Barre.
His time with the JCC, how-
ever, would not last. JCC Exec-
utive Director Rick Evans was
informed that the Montessori
School was searching for a new
head of school and CEO, and he
promptly recommended DiPip-
pa for the position.
Ive always held Rick in high
regard for that, DiPippa says.
DiPippa served Montessori
for six years, overseeing its ex-
pansion from 116 to 170 stu-
dents. He then decided it was
time to move on, taking a posi-
tion as director of development
with MMI Preparatory School
in Freeland.
Still, he felt that a deeper
spiritual vocation had not been
fulfilled.
I had the urge to become in-
volved in a Christian school, he
said. When the Back Mountain
Harvest Board asked him to
head Rock Solid in 2011, that
urge was satisfied.
HEADMASTER
whose spiritual role is to devel-
op thinkers, not just learners.
He took it as his vocation to pro-
vide parents in Lu-
zerne County a
new Christian al-
ternative to local
public schools.
Headmaster
Mark DiPippa, a
seasoned educator
involved in Rock
Solid from its out-
set, also men-
tioned the need
for alternatives in this economic
climate.
In a struggling economy, fam-
ilies are looking for alterna-
tives, said DiPippa. And Rock
Solid will be an alternative.
But he also cited a deeper goal
that will distinguish Rock Solid
from similar area schools to
spread Christian values to all
students, regardless of their
creeds.
Rock Solids founders pointed
to this interdenominational
Christianity as their schools de-
fining attribute.
Miller was adamant that Rock
Solids teaching staff should be
drawn from the best within the
Christian community so that
they approach teaching as a
ministry, not merely an occupa-
tion.
The Christian Academys
foundations were laid thanks to a
$200,000 pledge from the Lu-
zerne Foundation, the county-
based charity headed by Charles
Barber. Barber emphasized that
his groups mission is to provide
worthy groups such as Rock Sol-
id with a community resource
during their formative stages.
DiPippa hopes the academy
will attract additional funding
from private donors in the short
term. He ultimately intends to
fund the day school entirely
through student tuition, which
will stand at $3,950 per pupil.
Rock Solid will accept student
applications on a rolling basis
until its nine classes, kindergar-
ten through 8th grade, are filled
to their 20-person capacity. The
school will initially have five
teachers on staff. Enrollment is
open to individuals of any faith
group.
Parents of enrolled Rock Solid
students agreed the school will
offer a needed alternative to oth-
er area schools.
Alicia Walters of Wyoming
pointed to two significant rea-
sons for enrolling her three chil-
dren 9-year-old Elena, 8-year-
old Jenna and 6-year-old Kate
at Rock Solid. Bible-based curri-
culum and smaller classes:
Those were the main reasons for
us, she said.
The school will hold an open
house Monday through Friday, 9
a.m.-7 p.m., and Saturday, 9
a.m.-1 p.m., at 1176 Twin Stacks
Drive, Dallas, in the former In-
termountain Medical offices.
Pupils will initially be able to
participate in baseball, basket-
ball and soccer, although DiPip-
pa plans to field other teams on
the basis of interest.
Also available will be extracur-
ricular arts, music and crafts pro-
grams. Additional emphasis will
be placed on community service
projects in Luzerne County, in
keeping with the academys
Christian mission.

tice of withdrawal, the district
informed the trust it would
withdraw after June 20, 2013,
the end of the next fiscal year.
In the interim, the district will
use the dental and vision cov-
erage offered through the trust,
but go to a broker for medical
and prescription coverage as a
way to save money.
The trust responded with a
lawsuit against the district.
The union also responded by
filing a grievance, an unfair la-
bor practice and an application
for a court-issued preliminary
injunction. Its position was the
withdrawal from the trust vio-
lated the union contract, the
public employee relations act
and the trust agreement. Fur-
thermore, the union said, it has
to be consulted and must ap-
prove any change in insurance
coverage.
A hearing was scheduled for
Monday in Luzerne County
Court on the injunction sought
by the Lake-Lehman Education
Association and the Lake-Leh-
man Educational Support Per-
sonnel Association to prevent
the district from leaving the
trust.
The injunction is still pend-
ing, said Holland. But because
there has been an agreement on
the contract extension, he add-
ed, the union in the near future
will request dissolving the in-
junction.

ty activity which brings area resi-
dents together andhighlights the
benefits of reading.
Shannon Doyne, project man-
ger of Volunteers of Americas
Learning Works, took advantage
of the sale to encourage children
from the program to build an en-
trepreneurial spirit and buy
books. The program supports
challenged area youngsters and
their families in completing their
homework and setting goals.
Additionally, it has sponsored
a PopUpShop project onSouth
Main Street, which raised money
through the sale of locally
themed T-Shirts and other items.
The $1,116 raised will be used by
the children to buy books at the
sale.
Each of 31 students will have
$36to shop for books for them-
selves and their families, said
Doyne. They can leave with
bags of books to keep them busy
throughout the summer.
The Teen Library Council also
participated, selling cake pops,
T-shirts and raffled tickets. The
council assists Teen Librarian
Alissa Lukasavage in developing
curriculum and activities for the
teen program that meets every
Wednesday night.
The books sale provides a
great opportunity to raise funds
for the teens, said Lukasavage,
we are grateful for the Friends of
the Library for allowing us to par-
ticipate during the sale.
All those who filled the tent
seemed excited with the multi-
tude of books available and most
knew just what they wanted.

house had to be destroyed. Long
and his family scrambled to find
an undamaged church and alert
guests for his wedding three
weeks after the flood.
He remembers people predict-
ing Agnes was a once-in-a-life-
time event.
It didnt turn out that way,
said Long, who reopened his
business in November.
Township resident Charles
Graboske, 60, remembers old-
timers saying the prior record
flood of 1936 wouldnt be sur-
passed when he was a boy, and
theyvebeenprovenwrongtwice.
The September flood was dj
vu for Graboske, who guarded
the family home on Allen Street
in the township in 1972. He tied
his boat to the house and dozed
off on the second floor, never ex-
pectingtoawakentothe soundof
lapping water that had reached
his floor. He frantically boarded
his boat, mourning the loss of his
fully submerged, pristine black
66 Chevelle.
The house had18 inches of wa-
ter on the second floor, destroy-
ing most of the familys belong-
ings. The water level was a bit
higher at the structure in Sep-
tember, prompting the new own-
er to tear down the structure, he
said.
Graboske now lives in the
Heights section of the township,
well above the flood zone but has
been helping his sister fix up her
home from Septembers flood
damage. He took his 10-year-old
grandson on a boat in September
to survey the flood damage, tell-
ing himit looked the same in 72.
I never thought Id see anoth-
er one like it, he said.
Benchmark redrawn
Luzerne County Flood Protec-
tion Authority Executive Direc-
tor Jim Brozena said a growing
number of residents in levee-pro-
tected communities have no con-
cept of Agnes because they are
too young or didnt live here at
that time.
Residents were told to evac-
uate inSeptember if their proper-
ty was impacted by Agnes.
Manypeople dont knowwhat
Agnes was. We are looking at a
newmeans of explaining howfar
people must evacuate if this hap-
pens again, rather than saying ar-
eas that had been impacted by
Agnes, Brozena said.
The details of Agnes will con-
tinue to fade because the levee
held in September, sparing more
than 14,000 properties in areas
that flooded in1972, officials say.
This flood was worse, but be-
cause of the work done over the
last 30-some years, it really be-
came a non-event in some areas
impacted by Agnes, Brozena
said. People in Wilkes-Barre and
others areas didnt see the flood
others were dealing with.
Plymouth resident Ellyssa Sa-
roscek, 20, knows Agnes through
flood line marks on downtown
borough buildings and stories
from her parents, Theresa and
Ed.
I know it was a really awful
flood. The whole town pretty
much got ruined, she said.
The familys Ferry Street prop-
erty is close to the levee and sus-
tained basement flooding in Sep-
tember from seepage.
The big flood of 2011
Exeter resident GeneMizenko,
72, watched the Susquehanna
stop about 200 feet from his
home at the corner of Schooley
and Susquehanna avenues in
1972.
But when he talks about the
big flood, he now refers to 2011
because it crept closer to his
property.
Borough officials decided to
build their own earthen levee in
the middle of Susquehanna Ave-
nue in September because the
borough has none.
We wrote thank you letters,
said Schooley Avenue resident
John Broda, 60.
Broda drove trucks loaded
with sandbags during Agnes and
saw the aftermath. The water
came too close for comfort in
September.
Two of them is enough. This
last, it was a scary one, Broda
said.
Plains Township resident Ge-
orge Owen, who lived in a Plains-
ville section house that had been
owned by his parents before the
September flood, said the struc-
ture had 3 feet of water in 72 and
6 feet last year.
He andhis wife, Laurie, put the
property on a buyout list because
they cant live withthe uncertain-
ty, and neither would his daugh-
ter when he offered her the
home.
A mobile home filled with be-
longings on their neighboring
parcel also was destroyed. The
mobile home was given away for
scrap, freeing up space for a new
RV thats now home for the
Owens. They plan to make it
their permanent residence on
wheels as they travel the country.
George got sentimental gazing
at the acre-plus grassy lawn with
maturetrees leadingtotherivers
edge, including some black wal-
nut trees he planted as a boy. His
parents hosted family reunions
on the grounds with 350 guests,
horseshoe games and tables
heaped with food.
Thenhelookedat his flood-rav-
aged house. He recently ripped
out porch wall backing to replace
it and found traces of clay-like
mud trapped inside from1972.
I dont want to clean another
house again. I dont want to do
this anymore.
New flood boundaries
West Pittstonresident Dick Fo-
glia was told his Philadelphia
Avenue home had 33 inches of
water on the first floor in 1972,
compared to nearly 6 feet in Sep-
tember.
His rental property next door
also sustained first-floor flood-
ing.
More borough properties had
water this time, redefining the
newflood of records boundaries,
he said.
September made a whole new
flood plain, said Foglia, who
lived with his wife, Dana, at their
Harveys Lake property for more
than five months during clean-
up. Wed be extremely happy to
have a levee here. It would in-
crease property values 100 per-
cent.
Scranton Prep teachers Kath-
leen Klynoot and Tom Gorman
led a group of students cleaning
up September flood-damaged
West Pittston properties last
week. Gorman said he was sur-
prised to see some borough resi-
dents are still not close to return-
ing home.
The landscape brought back
memories of Agnes for the teach-
ers, both Pittston residents, who
had helped family members
clean up in 1972.
Gorman said hell never forget
the mud and coffins washed into
thebackyardof his cousins house
in Forty Fort.
Klynoot found debris and carp
in her brothers new in-ground
pool in Swoyersville in 1972, and
that property and the Kingston
home of her other brother both
had water up to the first-floor
ceiling. Agnes downedtelephone
poles, oddly depositing them be-
tween some homes, she said.
They had tremendous devas-
tation. There were all sorts of
things youd never expect to see,
Klynoot said.
Dick Foglia, a West Pittston resident and landlord, said his properties sustained more flooding in
2011, compared to 1972. He supports the push for Susquehanna River levee protection.
Scranton Prep teachers Kathleen Klynoot and Tom Gorman, both Pittston residents, say their re-
cent volunteer cleanup in West Pittston brought back memories of similar efforts helping their fam-
ily members in the flood of 1972.

For Susquehanna Avenue resi-
dentBobRussin, buildingaleveein
West Pittstonis a matter of life and
death.
If we dont have a levee and an-
other Tropical Storm Lee comes,
thatsit forus,Russinsaid. Itsthe
life of West Pittston that hangs in
the balance. This isnt something
wed like to get done; this is some-
thingthat has toget done.
Russinis a member of West Pitt-
stonTomorrow, acommunityorga-
nizationdevelopingalong-termre-
covery plan for the flood-wracked
boroughunder the guidance of the
Federal Emergency Management
Agency.
On Thursday, the group un-
veiled its preliminary recovery
plans, which included creating a
larger business district along Exe-
terAvenue, makingWestPittstona
more walkable community by im-
proving sidewalks, adding period
lighting and planting shade trees
and adding the community to the
National Register of Historic Plac-
es. Butthelinchpinof thoseplansis
a 1.3 mile extension of the Wyom-
ing Valley Levee System, running
along Susquehanna Avenue from
Maple Street toSecondStreet.
If we dont get this levee in, all
this other infrastructure and all
these other things that were
planned by the West Pittston Plan-
ning Committee are going to be in
vain, Russinsaid.
West Pittston Tomorrow has
beeninvestigatingthecostof build-
ing a levee since its establishment
inJanuaryandplanstorequestthat
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
study the feasibility of building a
dike inthe community.
The levee would stand only
about a foot high at its corners in
the higher elevations of the bor-
ough, and would be about 8 or 9
feet high at its highest point, Rus-
sinsaid. It wouldalsorequiregates
for the two bridges connecting the
borough to Pittston and pumping
stations.
At minimum, the feasibility
study must find that the projects
cost-benefit ratio would be greater
than one, meaning that property
damages staved off by the levee
trump its construction cost, but in
reality that ratio
would likely need
to be much higher,
Corps spokeswo-
man Andrea Ta-
kashsaid.
What weve
been seeing is
(that) 2.5 is be-
coming the stan-
dardinordertoget

said.
West Pittston
Tomorrow has al-
readysolicitedtwo
engineers esti-
mates for the pro-
ject, which pegged its cost at $6.5
million and $13 million. In 1991,
when the idea was studied in prior
to the raising of the Wyoming Val-
leyLevee, thecostwasestimatedat
approximately$30million, accord-
ing to Luzerne County Flood Pro-
tection Authority Executive Direc-
tor JimBrozena.
Brozena said the proposal was
rejected at that time because the
mitigation plan it was part of ad-
dressed the impact only to four or
five municipalities rather than the
more than 40 pro-
tected by the levee.
It was not, as is ru-
mored, because it

The average National Flood In-
suranceProgramlossclaiminWest
Pittston since 1978 has been
$49,228, the highest in the state
and exponentially higher than the
state average of $1,603, according
tothe committee.
Were number one inthe state,
Russinsaid. Andif thats not a rea-
son for West Pittston to get a levee
to save the state money, I dont
knowwhat a better reasonis.
Brozena wasnt as optimistic
about the projects potential, at
least inthe short term.
I think that we dont need to
look much further than Blooms-
burg, which is trying and has been
tryingforthelast20yearstobuilda
flood prevention project, Brozena
said. I live in West Pittston. My
house got flooded. So from a per-
sonal perspectiveI thinkits agreat
idea. I alsosit inapositionof know-
ing the realities of how difficult it
will be tomake it happen.
Part of those difficulties may be
evengettingtheCorpstoperforma
feasibility study in the first place.
According to Takash, the process
typically begins with a reconnais-
sance study in which Corps engi-
neers visually inspect the site
where the proposed dike would be
built. That typicallytakesabout six
monthsandrequirescongressional
approval toproceed.
Takashsaidshewasnt sureif the
1990s Wyoming Valley Levee rais-
ing could give the Corps existing
authority to begin the process,
though she said that would speed
the process along.
The project would also require
significant investment from West
Pittston, whichwouldneedtofront
50 percent of the feasibility studys
cost and35percent of construction
costs. Inthepast thestatehasfund-
edhalfofthemunicipalitysportion
forleveeprojects, Brozenasaid, but
thatstillleavestheboroughrespon-
sible for 17.5 percent of the multi-
million-dollar constructioncost.
Shea Christilaw, a FEMA com-
munity planning specialist assist-
ing West Pittston Tomorrow, said
there could be other obstacles as
well, likefindingelectedofficialsto
champion the project, but that the
project is still worthpursuing.
As we know levees do break;
theyrenotanend-allbe-allinterms
of flood mitigation, Christilaw
said. So what they need to do is
look at the risks and mitigate as
much as possible. I think what
theyre really trying to say in their
plan is that we want to be safe; we
understand that the levee may not
be the best solution, but wed like
the feasibility study to tell us what
is the best solution.
Levee is crucial for the future of West Pittston, group says
West Pittston Tomorrow
wants a 1.3 mile extension of
the current system.

If we dont get this
levee in, all this
other infrastructure
and all these other
things that were
planned by the West
Pittston Planning
Committee are go-
ing to be in vain.

Anxiety increased because
most phones were out of service,
he said.
Guards interrogated anyone
entering the flood zone, and traf-
fic was single-lane through the
mucky streets clogged with
abandoned vehicles, debris and
even structures, he said. There
were flat tires galore with all the
nails, broken glass and other
sharp objects.
If you got a flat tire, you had
to just keep moving because
there was nowhere to pull over,
I never saw so much water.
Everybody took off, Cywinski
said.
The water already up to his
waist, he sloshed past a floral
shop as the windows blew out
fromthe pressure. He hurried his
family and others out of the
school, alerting them the water
was coming fast. They drove
through high ground back to
their apartment in the1600 block
of Wyoming Avenue, reassured
by the landlord that the building
stayed dry in the prior record
flood of 1936.
The Susquehanna rose to
40.91 feet on June 24, 1972, caus-
ing $1.038 billion in damage in
multiple
Wyoming Val-
ley municipal-
ities. The levee
was designed
to hold back 37
feet at that
time.
Forty Fort
resident Robert
Megatulski al-
so was sand-
bagging when
the levee was
breached, and
he saw coffins
shoot to the
surface and
floating sewer
caps as he bolt-
ed to his Dur-
kee Street
home. Many
coffins were later retrieved by
helicopter.
You never know how fast you
can run. I didnt know if I was
going to make it, he said.
His family was waiting in a car
packed with important papers
and some clothes. The family
lived on the first floor and rented
out the second, and they lost ev-
erything because the water rose
4 feet inside the structure.
Megatulski was employed at a
hardware store in Kingston and
spent many workdays cleaning
up flood damage, returning
home for a second shift of the
same work on his own property.
Common theme
Many were in the same boat,
he said.
Plymouth resident Carl Za-
wadski, 75, was a driver for the
Martz bus company during
Agnes. After workers scrambled
to move the bus fleet from Old
River Road in Wilkes-Barre to a
parking lot on higher ground in
Wilkes-Barre Township, he was
assigned to take a bus to the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facil-
ity on Water Street to transport
inmates to the Lackawanna
County prison as a precaution.
Zawadski concentrated on
driving through the chaotic
streets, eager to unload the
shackled criminals and guards
holding rifles stationed at the
front and rear of the vehicle. He
then switched gears, hauling
workers into the Wyoming Valley
for flood cleanup.
It was almost a week before he
returned home to his wife and
children in Larksville.
You couldnt get through.
Towns were wiped out, Zawad-
ski said. It was a mess. Nothing
can compare to the flood of 72 as
far as Im concerned.
Plains Township resident Ge-
orge Owen was living in a Forty
Fort apartment and sandbagging
the levee when he glanced over
and saw a large section of the
North Street Bridge, commonly
known as the Pierce Street
Bridge, swallowed up by the wild
river.
He and a friend took out a boat
searching for people who needed
to be rescued. As they ap-
proached Kingston Corners, his
friend told him to grab onto the
traffic light, which was at their
level, to steady the watercraft.
It was quite an experience,
Owen said.
Owen had to take back roads
to the interstate to get to the oth-
er side of the river and locate his
displaced parents, who lived in
the Plainsville section of Plains
Township.
Owen said.
Helping to evacuate
Wilkes-Barre resident Joseph
Gibbons, the father of county
chief engineer Joe Gibbons, was
assigned to evacuate residents as
a reserve sergeant with Compa-
ny A of the 365th U. S. Army En-
gineering Battalion.
He stood on the Hotel Sterling
marquee on River Street in
Wilkes-Barre helping frightened
residents of the upper level
apartments many elderly into
a rocking rescue boat.
The current was brutal, re-
called Gibbons, 60.
His crew also knocked on
doors in the area of Riverside
Drive in Wilkes-Barre before the
river spilled over the levee to in-
struct residents to board a rescue
vehicle. Some were resistant,
saying they hadnt left in 1936.
Gibbons supported the evac-
uation order because he peeked
over the levee and could touch
the water at that point.
The dike broke in that area
hours after he was there, creating
a forceful torrent that ripped up
sections of Charles Street and
knocked entire structures off
their foundations in the neigh-
borhood.
It was a war zone down there.
Thank God we got those people
out, he said.
Edwardsville resident George
Ostroski, 65, wasnt prepared for
the wrath of Agnes because he
never experienced a flood before.
He was lingering over a drink at
a bar in Edwardsville when the
bartender saw water entering
the building and abruptly an-
nounced the establishment was
closing.
Ostroski said it seemed surreal
as he walked past manhole cov-
ers popping like corks, unleash-
ing geysers.
He found smelly, mud-coated
belongings when he made it back
to his second-floor apartment on
Wyoming Avenue in Kingston,
choosing to live there during
cleanup with the assistance of
lanterns and food kept in coolers.
Ostroski couldnt register how
water had changed his Kingston
neighborhood.
I never saw destruction like
that in my life. It was like a bomb
went off. Houses were off founda-
tions, and others had completely
disappeared, he said.
Forty Fort resident Eugene
Klein said he and his wife, Mari-
lyn, had been married for a few
months and lost everything in
their Kingston apartment except
for four Waterford crystal gob-
lets, which they will always keep
as a reminder. They were
alarmed to hear a radio report
about a body of a deceased man
tangled up on a pole in front of
their apartment.
Klein, a former county chief
clerk/administrator, worked at
the time for the state governors
justice commission, which
trained and equipped 70 new po-
lice officers to provide security at
temporary housing sites.
Villages of trailer camps
Thousands of displaced resi-
dents and out-of-state workers
lived in trailers parked at several
municipalities, including the
Barnum Trailer Park in Duryea
and a densely populated one in
the Parsons section of Wilkes-
Barre, he said.
It was a sad time, but the en-
durance and spirit of the people
to come back was remarkable,
Klein said.
Swoyersville resident Jack Po-
well was fishing with friends in
Canada and returned after the
flood. The friends couldnt fath-
om why a guard stopped them
from entering Exeter Township,
and the guard couldnt believe
they were unaware of what had
occurred.
He looked at us like we were
beamed in from Mars, Powell
said.
The men made it to Old Forge,
and someone in the area flew
them, two by two, to the Tunk-
hannock airport. Powell hitch-
hiked along state Route 309 to
the Back Mountain, where he lo-
cated his wife.
In her haste to evacuate their
Forty Fort apartment, she forgot
the cat. He made his way back to
find the feline alive and the
apartment dry.
I was lucky, he said.
Susquehanna River flood waters tore up Riverside Drive in Wilkes-Barre and knocked homes off foundations in 1972. Damage was extensive in Wilkes-Barre and other
towns bordering on the river.
Markers on a building at 70 E. Main St. in Plymouth show Susque-
hanna River flood levels in 1902, 1904, 1936 and 1972. The raised
levee prevented a repeat of destruction in the borough when the
Susquehanna River rose to a new record level in September 2011.
This closer image of top of photo at left shows a plaque that lists
the high mark for the 1972 flood on a building at 70 E. Main St.,
Plymouth.

I
ts tough to beat New York City for
entertainment, shopping, history,
sports, dining and excitement.
Its also tough to beat New York City
for genealogy. Why not plan a summer
visit? Here are some places of interest:
The Lower East Side Tenement
Museum: If your ancestors lived in
Lower Manhattan or even if they
didnt youll enjoy this living-history
site. The museums headquarters is at
108 Orchard St. in Little Italy. It offers
tours of the nearby multi-story tene-
ment, built in the 1860s and occupied
by waves of European immigrants until
the 1930s. Each floor is an authen-
tically reconstructed apartment show-
ing how an immigrant group (Irish,
German Jewish, Italian) lived and
worked.
Tours are limited and by reservation
only. The guides are fantastic.
Go to www.tenement.org.
The New York Historical Society:
This library and museum is at 170
Central Park West. The reading room
is full of New York City Directories,
histories and other resources for trac-
ing ancestors in the big city.
The first-floor museum exhibit
changes several times a year, always
themed to something pertaining to
New York. Upper floors are loaded with
furniture and artifacts from New York
City homes down through the centu-
ries, including a horse-drawn coach (no
horses, though).
Go to www.nyhistory.org.
Ellis Island: From the 1890s until
mid-20th century this site just off the
tip of Lower Manhattan was the place
where immigrants checked in to Amer-
ica. Over the past decade or so, it has
developed a research component that
makes it a vital stop for genealogists.
The website lets you search for your
ancestors for free, at home. But its still
a fun trip. Youll find display cases of
items they brought, dramatic presenta-
tions of the immigrant experience and
displays showing the growth and pro-
gress of immigration.
Dont try to package Ellis Island with
a visit to the nearby Statue of Liberty.
Getting into and out of the statue can
easily take all day. Go right to Ellis
Island on the ferry, which leaves from
Battery Park.
Go to www.ellisisland.org.
To visit all these widely scattered
sites (and maybe add the New York
Public Library), a multi-day trip is the
only way to go. Buy a multi-day Met-
roCard for the bus and subway and get
a Manhattan street map at your hotel.

oe Aliciene Sr. is the president of the Northeast Fair
in Pittston Township. Aliciene, 69, attended Pittston
Township High School and graduated from Kings Col-
lege with a bachelors degree in accounting. Joe has a
son, Joe Jr., and lives in Pittston.
The Northeast Fair has
been a successful and en-
joyable event for thousands
of people over the years. Tell
us a bit about the inception
of the event and your invol-
vement with it.
In 1967, as a member of the
Pittston Fire Department, a
group of us were coming up
with ideas to raise funds for
department equipment and
buildings. I was the inaugural
chairman of the Pittston Town-
ship Volunteer Fire Bazaar and
have been active with bazaar
fundraisers and the fair the last
45 years.
When did the bazaar officially
become a fair, and how did that
affect your status with the event?
We received official fair status in
2005 after applying for the recognition
in 2002 from the Pennsylvania State
Association of County Fairs (PSACF).
That is when I was elected president and
have presided over the event the last 10
years. The PSACF is celebrating its
100th anniversary this year.
In a nutshell, can you give us an
overview of what people can expect if
they make their way out to the fair
(which begins Tuesday and runs
through June 24 on Suscon Road in
Pittston Township)?
The fair is simply the best family val-
ue in all of the state. I have been very
proud to be a part of it for all these
years. Whether you buy a pre-sale ticket
for $6 or one at the entrance for $9,
that admission price covers parking, un-
limited rides and a variety of entertain-
ment. We have more than 40 food ven-
dors and upwards of 25 rides this year
sprawled across 42 acres of land.
There will be contest winners in more
than 1,500 competitions on display
ranging from arts and crafts to baking
and horticulture. Demolition derby and
Double Figure 8 racers will also com-
pete.
A petting zoo and animal farm will be
among some of the new attractions at
this years event, as well as a Kountry
K-9 Dog Show that will have dogs per-
forming various tricks.
Fair regulars, such as Ron Diamond
and Buffo: the Worlds Strongest Clown,
also will entertain with their hypnosis
and comedy routines. There will also be
several paid entertainment events such
as the Shawn Klush Elvis Tribute Show
and the Cast of Beatlemania.
Sounds like a spectacular lineup of
events and fun. What do you do you do
for fun when not working or volunteer-
ing?
It kind of stays here at the firehouse.
Over the years I have really enjoyed
playing pinochle with my friends here.

any high school girls are preoc-
cupiedwithhomework, quizzes
and boys, but Kaitlyn Miller, 17,
has another focus: pageantry.
Since 2009, Miller, a Swoyersville resident
and Wyoming Valley West High School stu-
dent, has won several out of the 10 competi-
tions shehas entered. AndonMay25shewas
crowned Miss Pennsylvanias Outstanding
Teen, making her eligible for Miss Americas
Outstanding Teen pageant in August in Or-
lando, Fla.
A big goal of mine is to represent PA and go
onto nationals to win PAs first Miss Americas
Outstanding Teen pageant, she said.
Her parents, Mia and John and sister Kelsey,
20, encourage her commitment. Theyre very
excited and there to support whatever I want to
get involved in, Miller said.
The PAtitle derives fromthe Miss America or-
ganization in 2005 and is held every year in Pitts-
burgh. It consists of five classic contests: an
eight-minute interview; a talent competition, for
which Miller tap danced; a fitness competition;
an evening gown display; and an onstage ques-
tionnaire.
Looking up at previous Miss PA posters
motivated her to dance and partake in pag-
eants in the first place. She has been dancing
for 15 years at David Blight School of Dance.
She will dance in a recital June 23 and 24 at
Wyoming Valley West High School.
Beyond the victory sashes and crowns, pag-
eants such as Miss PA now reward winners with
academic grants.
After capturing the teen title, Miller was pre-
sented with a $1,500 scholarship. It will go to-

Away from the firehouse,
where have you traveled to,
and what made it fun? I really
enjoyed going with my grand-
children, Joseph III and Domin-
ic, to Disney World.
Family must be really im-
portant to you. Absolutely.
The birth of my grandchildren
was probably my proudest mo-
ment personally.
How about a moment, pro-
fessionally, that you are most
proud of? Without a doubt, it
was helping to establish the
successful fair over the years
with a great group of people. So
many people made my job eas-
ier and made it possible for the
fair to have continued success
and be passed on til infinity.
Do you have anyone whom
you looked up to over the
years?
I became interested in being
a fireman at a young age like so
many kids do. Over several
years I saw fire chief Joe Maz-
zarella do great things in fire-
fighting. He was a role model to
me and many other men.
As president of the fair it
stands to reason that you
have a great interest in the
community. How does that
translate into your beliefs
about what Northeastern
Pennsylvania needs to im-
prove upon?
Well it is exactly that belief.
I see the success of fundraisers
and all kinds of charitable
events through the years. It
just shows you how important it
is for people to get involved in
their community.
On a lighter note, what are
some of your favorite TV
shows, books or movies?
I enjoy watching football
and baseball.
How about a favorite food?
There is only one food: pas-
ta.
Favorite restaurant?
One that has great pasta!
Its a given that there will
be pasta among other foods at
the fair. Where can people look
to see what events will be held
at the fair and when they will
take place?

HE DIDNT
even apply for
the job this
time, doesnt
have his old
game plans
anymore and
isnt in it for
the long haul these days.
That doesnt mean George
Curry got caught with his
pants down.
He was hands-down the best
high school football coach in
Pennsylvania, maybe in the
whole country, when Curry
was taking a Class 2A school
at Berwick and beating Class
4A opponents while winning
Class 3A state championships.
But that was more than a
decade ago, after Curry had
already built Berwick into a
state-wide powerhouse.
At the age of 68, he doesnt
have time to build another
dynasty now.
He doesnt have time for
losing, either.
Nothings changed in that
department, Curry was say-
ing Friday, just days after re-
gaining his old program at
Berwick. We want to win. If I
didnt want to win, I wouldnt
have taken that job.
That job came open last
weekend, when the guy who
replaced Curry at Berwick
Gary Campbell went back to
his old high school in Mas-
sachusetts and Berwick called
Curry out of retirement to fill
the sudden void.
So Curry has been on his
old job less than one week,
and has already filled the
minds of his players with more
football fodder than most high
school kids learn in a career.
I dont give a crap if its one
month, Curry said, you want
to win. We plan on winning.
You are what you think you
are. Were trying to get the
kids to think like champions.
Boy was he ever a champ his
first time around at Berwick.
Always a winner
Curry led the Bulldogs to
three USA Today mythical
national championships. He
took the Bulldogs to Penn-
sylvanias first-ever Class 3A
state title in 1988. And he was
just warming up.
Curry finished his run at
Berwick with a career record
there of 362-74-3, after guiding
the Bulldogs to six PIAA
championships in a 10-year
span through the 80s and
90s, and he would have won a
seventh if not for some ques-
tionable officiating at the end
of a 1989 state title loss.
But Curry lost a little faith
at the end of a reign that be-
gan for him at Berwick in
1971.
He swears his last team at
Berwick in 2005 was on its
way to another state title, but
he had to suspend a few key
kids even if it meant sabo-
taging a shot at more glory.
Because winning was never
really the only thing that mat-
tered to Curry, he only made it
seem that way.
We had some disciplinary
problems, Curry said. That
was a tough thing. After that
season, I said I had enough.

HERSHEY There it was for
all at Hersheypark Stadium to
see Saturday evening. Those
moves that electrified Wyoming
Valley Conference football fans
for three years.
Those galloping strides eating
up turf. The hips twisting and
spinning away from tacklers.
It was pure Eugene Lewis and
then poof it was gone.
A 15-yard pass reception that
brought a roar fromthe Pennsyl-
vania fans at the Big33game was
wipedout by anillegal formation
penalty.
Despite the misfortune, Lewis
had plenty of time to display his
talents for Pennsylvania in a 24-
21 overtime loss to Ohio. He did
so on Pennsylvanias third scor-
ing drive, making a leaping 35-
yard reception that set up a 4-
yard TD pass on the next play.
Lewis finished with two recep-
tions for 54 yards. He also had a

session that put Pennsylvania

McDowell and Jim Furyk won
the battle of par Saturday at the
U.S. Open.
Tiger Woods lost a lot more
than that.
McDowell showed the kind of
fight that won him a U.S. Open
two years ago down the coast at
Pebble Beach. He scratched out
pars and finished with a 4-foot
birdie putt that gave hima 2-un-
der 68 anda share of the leadgo-
ing into the final round at The
Olympic Club.
Furyk, also bidding for anoth-
er trophy from golfs toughest
test, outclassed Woods in the fi-
nal pairing with key bunker
saves and an 8-foot birdie putt
on the17th for a 70, making him
the only player who has yet to
have a round over par.
They were at 1-under 139, the
only survivors against par.
Woods, wearing a key lime
shirt, turned in a lemon. He fell
out of the lead with two bogeys
in the first three holes, couldnt
make a birdie on the stretch of
holes that Olympic allows play-
ers to make up ground, and end-
ed with a sloppy bogey on the
18th for a 75.
There were only eight scores
worse in the third round. And it
matched Woods highest score
when he at least a share of the
lead after any round of a major.

Russ Canzler,
Hazleton Area, Colum-
bus (Cleveland, Triple-
A): The Hazleton native
is trying to find his
form from 2011, when he
was the International
League MVP and he was
among league leaders
in numerous offensive
categories.
The 26-year-old has
shown signs of breaking
out of a mild slump this
season with two home
runs, six RBI and four
hits in his last three
games. Hes now at .263
with five home runs, 24
RBI and a .316 on base
percentage this season.
Canzler was original-
ly drafted by the Cubs

the offseason.

the Aeros, putting up a
1.85 ERA in 20 games
while striking out 34 in
34 innings and posting a
4-1 record with two saves.
The 26-year-old has

appearances spanning
three affiliates.
D I S T R I C T 2 S P R E S E N C E I N P R O F E S S I O N A L B A S E B A L L
Kyle McMyne is two months
into a new assignment as a re-
liever after spending his youth,
high school and college days in
baseball as a starting pitcher.
There are changes to his prep-
aration, the way McMynes man-
agers use him, the number of
pitches he throws and howoften
he throws them.
One thing is unchanged, how-
ever, for the Old Forge graduate.
Its extremely different from
the perspective of how I pre-
pare, said McMyne, who is one
year into his professional career
after beingdraftedbytheCincin-
nati Reds out of Villanova Uni-
versity in the fourth round of the
Major League Baseball draft in
June 2011. I have to be ready
more often than one game every
five days.
But, overall, I really felt like I
had always been a reliever at
heart.
Relief specialists are rare in
the lower levels of baseball. The
best, especially those with the
potential toone day pitchprofes-
sionally, are asked to throw the
most innings. It is difficult to do
that from a role in the bullpen.
When a pro pitching staff is
put together, there are signifi-
cant roles for those who throw
the most and those who throw
the most important innings.
I like to be in the game when
the game is on the line,
McMyne said. I really want to
be out there giving everything I
have for one or two innings.
Theres something about
coming out of the pen that I like.
I like to have that mentality
where youre constantly fired up
rather thantrying to get through
five or six innings.
Cincinnati minor-league man-
agement sees McMyne as hav-
ing the right makeup to fit the
roleof areliever, possiblyevenas
a closer.
When McMyne joined the or-
ganization last year, he did so
with a sore shoulder froma busy
spring at Villanova. McMyne
spent some time on the disabled
list and was limited to short out-
ings as a starter, working a total
of just 27innings in10games. He
finished strong, posting his first
pro win Aug. 7 with five score-
less innings for the Billings Mus-
tangs ina1-0Pioneer League vic-
tory over the Great Falls Voyag-
ers.
Although he never worked in
relief in his first professional sea-
son, McMyne has done nothing
but work out of the bullpen in 23
games duringhis secondseason.
A fast start at Dayton, where
he voted by fans as the teams
Pitcher of the Month for April,
earned McMyne a promotion
from the Class A Midwest
League to the Bakersfield Blaze
of the California League, one of
three loops designated as Class
A advanced.
The promotion has brought
out mixed signals for McMyne,
who was 3-2 with two saves and
an impressive 2.59 earned run
average at Dayton.
McMyne has struggled early
with Bakersfield, taking a loss in
his first decision Tuesday when
he blew a save for the third time
in five outings. There have been
clear signs, however, that even
after amovetoahigher level, the
organization trusts him in the
most important situations.
I think thats definitely a pret-
ty good sign, McMyne said in a
phone interview.
The 22-year-old right-hander
possesses a fastball that often
settles in the 94-96 miles per
hour range preferred for closer
duties. He also throws a curve-
ball, slider and changeup, which
hesaidarestill necessarytokeep
batters off-balance as he moves
up the ranks.
As he tries to prove he can
handle California League bat-
ters, McMyne is working on
both technical and mental ad-
justments.
Im changing a few things in
my windup, McMyne said. Im
just kind of testing things out
and seeing what works and what
doesnt.
While he experiments,
McMyne is trying to make sure
the mental game does not make
it more difficult to find success.
Imjust trying to stay relaxed
and confident in my pitches and
trying to throw strikes,
McMyne said.
He just does so in shorter
stretches during a different part
of the game.

M A J O R L E A G U E B A S E B A L L
WASHINGTON Mark
Teixeira hit a two-run double
in the 14th inning Saturday as
the New York Yankees won
their eighth straight game,
beating the Washington Na-
tionals 5-3.
Teixeiras drive to the right
field corner off Brad Lidge
(0-1) brought home Jayson Nix
and Derek Jeter in the longest
game by innings played by
either team this season.
Freddy Garcia (1-2) pitched
two innings to get the win.
Rafael Soriano handled the
bottom of the 14th for his 12th
save, but only after allowing
back-to-back one-out singles to
Jesus Flores and Steve Lombar-
dozzi. The game ended when
Soriano got Bryce Harper to
ground out, ending an 0-for-7
day for the Nationals teen
sensation that included five
strikeouts.
Blue Jays 6, Phillies 5, 10
innings
TORONTO Rajai Davis
drove home the winning run
with a two-out drive in the
10th inning that bounced over
the wall and the Toronto Blue
Jays rallied past the Philadel-
phia Phillies 6-5 Saturday,
extending Cliff Lees winless
streak to 11 starts.
Yunel Escobar hit a solo
homer, finished with three hits
and scored twice, including the
winning run.
After Toronto scored three
times in the eighth to make it
5-all, Escobar drew a leadoff
walk in the 10th from Joe Sav-
ery (0-2). Escobar moved up
on a balk, advanced to third on
Mike McCoys groundout and
scored when Davis hit a drive
that hopped over the left-cen-
ter field wall.
Reds 4, Mets 1
NEW YORK Homer Bai-
ley pitched out of trouble for
eight innings, Jay Bruce hit a
three-run homer and the Cin-
cinnati Reds beat the New York
Mets 4-1 on Saturday night for
their fifth straight victory.
Ryan Ludwick added an RBI
single to help the NL Central
leaders move a season-best 10
games over .500 at 37-27.
Pirates 9, Indians 2
CLEVELAND A.J. Bur-
nett became the first Pitts-
burgh pitcher since 1990 to win
six straight starts and Pedro
Alvarez homered twice as the
Pirates beat the Cleveland
Indians 9-2 Saturday.
Burnett (7-2) gave up two
runs over 6 2-3 innings. He
extended the best stretch by a
Pirates pitcher since Doug
Drabek won six in a row during
his NL Cy Young Award-win-
ning season.
Brewers 6, Twins 2
MINNEAPOLIS Ryan
Braun hit two home runs and
Michael Fiers pitched seven
strong innings to lead the Mil-
waukee Brewers to a 6-2 over
the Minnesota Twins on Sat-
urday.
Braun added a double and a
walk to back Fiers (2-2), the
right-hander who gave up one
run on four hits with five
strikeouts. Aramis Ramirez
and Cody Ransom also home-
red for the Brewers, who have
taken the first two games in
this interleague series.
Cardinals 10, Royals 7
ST. LOUIS Matt Holliday
homered and drove in five runs
and Yadier Molina homered
and drove in four, leading the
St. Louis Cardinals to a 10-7
win over the Kansas City Roy-
als on Saturday.
Holliday also doubled twice
and singled. Molina broke a
7-all tie with a two-run, bases-
loaded single off reliever Greg
Holland in the seventh inning.
Tigers 4, Rockies 1
DETROIT Doug Fister
pitched six shutout innings in
his return from the disabled
list, Miguel Cabrera homered
and also scored when Colorado
misplayed his comebacker, and
the Detroit Tigers defeated the
Rockies 4-1 Saturday.
Fister (1-3) had been out
since aggravating a ribcage
strain on May 28. He missed a
month after sustaining the
original injury in his first start
of the season.
Fister allowed three hits and
struck out six.
Athletics 6, Padres 4
OAKLAND, Calif. Jonny
Gomes two-run pinch-hit
homer in the seventh inning
helped the Oakland Athletics
beat the San Diego Padres 6-4
on Saturday.
Seth Smith also homered for
the As, who have won a sea-
son-high five straight. Jemile
Weeks and Collin Cowgill also
drove in runs.
Rangers 8, Astros 3
ARLINGTON, Texas
Nelson Cruz hit a towering
three-run homer the pitch after
Adrian Beltres two-run single
and the Texas Rangers went on
to an 8-3 victory over the Hous-
ton Astros, making Justin
Grimm a winner in his major
league debut Saturday night.
Orioles 5, Braves 0
ATLANTA Jason Hammel
pitched a one-hitter for his first
career shutout, allowing only
Jason Heywards two-out single
in the seventh inning, and the
Baltimore Orioles beat the
Atlanta Braves 5-0 on Saturday
night.
Brandon Beachy (5-5) left
the game with right elbow
soreness in the fourth inning.
The major leagues ERA leader
allowed no hits and one run,
struck out five and walked one.
Red Sox 4, Cubs 3
CHICAGO Jarrod Saltala-
macchia homered to back a
strong start by Jon Lester, and
the struggling Boston Red Sox
beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on
Saturday.

League record for left-handers. Guidry, who struck
out 15 in the first six innings, ended with a 4-0 four-
hitter.

CLEVELAND - The Pirates
promoted right-hander Gerrit
Cole from Class A Bradenton to
Class AA Altoona on Friday after
two months adjusting to pro ball
in the Florida State League.
Cole, 21, started 13 games and
went 5-1 with a 2.55 ERA. He
struck out 69 and walked 21in 67
innings. ThePirates officiallywill
add him to the Curve roster
Wednesday, and he will make his
first start against New Britain
that night.
Were working on the same
things, were just working on it at
a more challenging level, assist-
ant general manager Kyle Stark
said. Were working onit at a lev-
el thats less forgiving.
Cole had a1.96 ERAin his past
10 starts. He has held opposing
batters to a .217 average this sea-
son.
Whenyouget toa placewhere
youre continually better and per-
forming better, you want to make
sure you can [raise] that level of
opposition where theres more
challenges for him as well, and I
think thats what weve done, Pi-
rates manager Clint Hurdle said.
While in Bradenton, the Pi-
rates wanted Cole to improve the
command of his fastball, which
can reach100 mph but is hittable
when it is flat or elevated.
I thinkthat its somethingthat
he will probably continue to bat-
tle, Stark said. When hes got
[downward] angle to his fastball,
its really tough to hit. Its some-
thing that hes made significant
strides on.
The Pirates gave Cole an $8
million signing bonus in August.
Back at it
Charlie Morton had Tommy
John ligament replacement sur-
gery onhis right elbowThursday,
but it is likely his rehabilitation
already has begun.
The day of surgery, the day af-
ter surgery, theyre already start-
ing to work it and try to get that
extension back, said Brad Lin-
coln, who had such surgery in
2007.
More important, Lincoln said,
was the mental adjustment.
You know you just went
through major surgery, youre go-
ingtobeout for at least ayear and
just trying to cope with that and
realize that, Hey, I need to work
that much harder to get back to
where I need to be, he said.
Boy of summer
Garrett Jones started the
month of June well, hitting .344
withtwohome runs andtwodou-
bles in 10 games. He had a hit in
10 of his past 11 games entering
the game Friday against the Cle-
veland Indians.
He has had similar streaks in
the past, but generally returned
to the numbers posted in 2010-11,
when he hit a combined .245.
What has happened to most
hitters, comparables like Garrett,
Ive worked with, they get to this
spot right here, and then you
know what they want to do?
Hurdle said.

WILLIAMSPORT Extended spring
training has concluded and the Major
League Baseball amateur draft was held
more than a week ago. That means its time
for the short-seasonleagues tostart playing
ball.
The closest team to start up this week is
the Williamsport Crosscutters of the New
York-Penn League. The Crosscutters held
media day on Saturday at Bowman Field
and thats when the affiliate of the Philadel-
phia Phillies found out which players
would make up the roster.
After a long flight from Clearwater, Fla.,
to Philadelphia then a bus trip to William-
sport, the newmembers got to town Friday
night, and were acquainted with their new
playground on Saturday. They will only
have two days to get ready for Monday
nights season opener against the State Col-
lege Spikes.
First-year manager Andy Tracy isnt ex-
pecting smooth sailing for the young
squad.
Theyre going to struggle. Thats what
were tellingthem. Comingout of the strug-
gles is the most important thing in baseball
and being able to handle those struggles,
the skipper said. Thats what were going
to deal with this year and hopefully theyre
little valleys, but were going to see how
these guys react.
Tracy is beginning his first year as a man-
ager in the organization after just ending
his playing career. He played last year for
Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks orga-
nization. Now, hes eager to begin a new
chapter, even though he will be standing in
the third-base box as opposed to the more
familiar first base side, where he spent the
bulkof his playingcareer as a first baseman.
I think it helps that Im just getting out
of the game, Tracy noted. A lot of times
when youre in coaching you forget when
you were a player Its still a process.
Theres going to be more learning. I want
these guys to like me and fear me and all of
the above. Thats the whole point of coach-
ing.
More than half of the rostered 27 players
for Williamsport will be making their pro-
fessional debuts this week. Thirteen of
those were drafted in 2011 or earlier this
month out of college.
A few of the notable names on that list
are first baseman/outfielder Larry Greene
and infielder Roman Quinn. Greene, who
was drafted last year out of Berrin County
HighSchool inNashville, Ga., is a left-hand-
ed power hitter. Standing at 6-feet tall and
235-pounds, the No. 4 overall prospect in
the organization according to MLB.com is
ready to make his pro debut.
You just dont even know (how exciting
it is), Greene said when asked about final-
ly making his pro debut. Its going to be
fun. Im happy to be here. Im just going to
do what I can.
Quinnisnt a power hitter like Greene. In-
stead, hes got another tool to hammer op-
ponents: speed.
Also taken out of high school last year
coming from Floridas Port St. Joe High
School, some experts referred to himas the
fastest player available in the 2011 draft.
Playing on a field like the historic venue
in Williamsport with high grass and deep
fences 350-feet to right field, 345 to left
and 405 to center the 19-year-old No. 10
prospect in the organization is ready to get
started to show off his quickness.
(The fields dimensions) make me excit-
ed to be here because Im not a home run
hitter at all, Quinnsaid. So if I get a ball in
the gap, its basically a triple for me. I hope I
can get one in dead center and get an in-
side-the-parker.
Pitchers Hoby Milner (round 7 from the
University of Texas), Jordan Guth (9, Uni-
versity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), Kevin
Brady (10, Clemson), Zach Cooper (15,
Central Michigan), Nicholas Hanson (16,
Golden West College), Matt Sisto (20, Ha-
waii), Geoff Broussard (23, Cal Poly Pomo-
na) and Jeb Stefan (22, Louisiana Tech) are
some of the top picks from this years draft
on the roster.
Infielder Chris Serritella, a fourth round
selection out of Southern Illinois, was also
taken by Philadelphia earlier this month.

OMAHA, Neb. Kent State
knows it faces a dauntingtaskto
make its first appearance in the
College World Series last much
longer.
An8-1loss toArkansas onSat-
urday leaves the GoldenFlashes
fighting for survival in a bracket
that includes two-time defend-
ing national champion South
Carolina, No. 1 national seed
Florida and a Razorbacks team
that just beat them.
Kent State coach Scott Strick-
lin offered a simple message to
his players after DJ Baxendale
and Brandon Moore combined
on a four-hitter against them
Saturday.
Get it out of your mind. Get
ready to play on Monday night
againinOmaha, Neb., Stricklin
said. Our kids are thrilled to be
here. But thats thing weve got
to make sure that were not just
happy to be here. We want to
compete and get some wins and
make a run at it. Its still possi-
ble.
Baxendale didnt allow a hit
until Sawyer Polens infield sin-
gle with two out in the fifth. He
held the Flashes (46-19) score-
less until Jimmy Rider homered
in the sixth.
Arkansas (45-20) broke open
the game on Matt Vinsons two-
run double that made it 5-1 in
the bottom of the sixth.
Baxendale (8-5) allowed just
three hits, giving way to Moore
with one out in the seventh. He
struck out five and walked one.
DJ Baxendale was outstand-
ing, Stricklin said. He kept us
off balance. His fastball was
sharp and he throws the break-
ing ball when hes behind in the
count. He really competes.
Kent State starter David
Starn (11-4) walked three of the
first four batters he faced and
left after Vinsons two-out dou-
ble in the sixth.
Starn threw 24 pitches in the
first inning, just eight for
strikes, and walked the bases
loaded before Brian Andersons
hard liner up the middle
knocked off the pitchers glove
and brought home the first run.
An inning-ending double play
let Starn escape further dam-
age.
It was basically just a flaw in
my mechanics, Starn said. I
wasnt really finishing my pitch-
es. And I was leaving themarm-
side, and thats basically what
happened with the control is-
sues and everything.
Kent State is the first team
from the Mid-American Confer-
ence to make it to the CWS
since Eastern Michigan in1976.
Wearing their old-school gray
uniforms with high socks, the
Flashes struggled early against
a Razorbacks teamthat was last
in Omaha in 2009.
Arkansas was up 2-0 by the
time the Flashes had their first
hit. Riders homer downthe left-
field line cut the Hogs lead to
3-1 in the sixth.
The Flashes looked like they
coulddrawcloser inthe seventh
after Baxendale walked Nick
Hamilton to put runners on first
andsecondwithone out. Moore
came on to get a groundout and
flyout to end the threat. Moore
worked the last 2
2
3 innings for
his third save.
Arkansas made it a four-run
game in the bottom of the sixth
on Vinsons two-out, two-run
double, and Wise drove in two
more runs in the eighth with a
two-out single off Ryan Mace.
Starn threw 24 pitches in the
first inning, just eight for
strikes, and walked the bases
loaded before Brian Andersons
hard liner up the middle
knocked off the pitchers glove
and brought home the first run.
An inning-ending double play
let Starn escape further dam-
age.
Wise, the No. 9batter, made it
2-0 in the second when he went
deeptoleft center for his second
homer of the season, and first
since the second game of the
season on Feb. 19. It was the Ra-
zorbacks first homer since May
19, the last day of the regular
season.
Baxendale retired 14 of the
first 15 batters he faced before
Polenrippedahardgrounder up
the middle for a base hit.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. Tied 2-2
in the bottom of the 10th inning,
Russell Branyanhit ahomerunto
left center to bring Jack Cust
home from first base and end the
game, giving Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre the 4-2 win over Syracuse
at Alliance Bank Park.
The Yankees (39-30) drewfirst
blood in the first inning as Chris
Dickersondoubledona line drive
to right field, allowing Ronnier
Mustelier to come in next at-bat
and hit a double
of his own, al-
lowing Dicker-
son to score.
Two innings
later Dickerson
would score
again in the
third inning, af-
ter getting on
base by hitting
his second dou-
ble of the game.
Mustelier came
in to try and
bring Dickerson
home again, but
this time he
grounded the
ball to third. But
Dickerson waited for the throw
across the diamond and bolted
for third base. Chiefs first base-
man Mark Teahen overthrew
third after recording the out at
first, allowing Dickerson to make
it a 2-0 game.
Teahen would make up for it
though as the Chiefs came back
to make it a 2-2 game in the sixth
inning after runs scored by Mark
Teahen in the fourth and sixth in-
nings.
Three scoreless innings later in
the bottom of the 10th, Russell
Branyan nailed the game winner
to give the Yankees the victory.
The Chiefs and Yankees will
meet for the final game of their
four-game series at Alliance Bank
Park today at 2 p.m.

He went to Wyoming Valley
West for the next three years,
and went 26-8 with the Spartans
before health problems put him
on the sideline.
I had cancer, abdominal sur-
gery, knee surgery, eye surgery,
Curry said. (Now) everythings
good.
He thought he was going
away from coaching for good
when he left Valley West, and
spent the last three football sea-
sons doing some radio and tele-
vision, speaking at clinics and
running football camps.
I never thought Id be coach-
ing, Curry said. I gave all my
stuff away. I went into this with-
out a playbook. I was not ready
for this.
Hes ready now.
I know what Im doing, Cur-
ry said. You dont forget this
stuff.
Soon enough, he plans on
making everyone remember a
Berwick past that suddenly
merged into the present.

WROCLAW, Poland Petr
Jiracek scored a second-half
winner to give the Czech Re-
public a 1-0 victory over Poland
on Saturday and a place in the
quarterfinals of the European
Championship.
Poland, the tournament co-
host, was knocked out with its
defeat in the teams final Group
A game. The Czechs won the
group and will play the runners-
up in Group B.
Pushing forward in the 72nd
minute, Jiracek collected a pass
from Milan Baros in the box,
cut right past Polands Marcin
Wasilewski and slotted the ball
inside the far post.
We had a poor start but we
gradually improved, started to
create chances and finally, we
deserved to score, Jiracek said.
Poland, which had to win to
advance, immediately brought
on two attacking players in the
last 30 minutes to push for a
goal, but struggled to create
any serious threats.
After the final whistle, the
Czech players swarmed each
other on the pitch. The Poles
fell to the ground, covering
their faces.
I think that probably we
were too sure about winning
this game. The Czechs played
excellent football, Poland
coach Franciszek Smuda said.
We had some opportunities
before halftime, we didnt take
advantage of them and we lost
the game.
The Czechs pulled off the
win despite playing without
their captain and playmaker
Tomas Rosicky, who was side-
lined with an Achilles tendon
injury.
Without his creative skills the
Czechs were listless in the first
half, struggling to put together
any fluid passing and reduced
to knocking long balls forward.
But as the Poles pushed for-
ward in the second half in
search of a goal to put them
through to the quarterfinals,
more space began to open up in
midfield.
That space gave the Czechs
the opportunity to strike on the
counter, and the punishment
came with Jiraceks second goal
of the tournament. He also
opened the scoring in a 2-1
victory over Greece.
Poland responded well,
though, and the final chances
were all for the home team.
A cross from the right was
deflected to the far post, where
Marcin Wasilewski met the ball
with a header that just cleared
the crossbar. Minutes later,
Jakub Blaszczykowskis angled
effort was cleared off the line by
Michal Kadlec as the Czechs
sealed their place in the last
eight.
Greece 1, Russia 0
WARSAW, Poland Greece
surged into the European
Championship quarterfinals,
defeating Russia 1-0 Saturday
on a goal by Giorgos Karagou-
nis just before halftime.
Karagounis, making his team
record-tying 120th international
appearance, sent a low shot
under goalkeeper Vyacheslav
Malafeev with the final touch of
the first half.
The Greeks, the 2004 Europe-
an champions, then did what
they do best: defend.
The moments are pure mag-
ic for all of us. This is a great
night for all Greeks, Karagou-
nis said. I cannot describe how
I feel. Its so great.
Even as the Greeks closed
down in front of their net, Kara-
gounis looked to have won a
penalty kick when Sergei Ig-
nashevich appeared to bring
him down in the area. But
Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson
instead booked the Greece
captain for a dive, meaning he
will miss the quarterfinals.
We are proud that we gave
the people back home some joy
and a break from their prob-
lems even for a short while,
Greece striker Georgios Sam-
aras said. We did very well
defensively, but the will we had
was the main thing. That stop-
ped them from scoring goals.
Russia, a semifinalist four
years ago, was the overwhelm-
ing choice going into the match
at the National Stadium, but it
was again guilty of squandering
chances. The Russians finished
the match with 25 shots on
goal, while Greece managed
only five.
We should have won by a
wide margin tonight, but we
didnt. My compliments to
Greece, Russia coach Dick
Advocaat said. A number of
players werent sharp enough to
score.
The Russians became one of
the tournament favorites with
their 4-1 win over the Czech
Republic in their opening
match, then drew with Poland
and finally lost to Greece, snap-
ping a 16-match unbeaten run.
Russian players dejectedly
tramped off the field immedi-
ately after the final whistle,
while Greeces euphoric players
hugged one another and then
celebrated with their fans.

INDIANAPOLIS Bob
Knight must have felt at home at
Marian University on Saturday
morning.
The sign on a building across
the street from the football stadi-
umread I AmAKnight, and in-
side the stadium, one sectionwas
dubbed Knight Club. The
schools nickname is the Knights,
and its a comfortable setting for
the retired coach for other rea-
sons: Newathletic director Steve
Downing is one of Knights for-
mer players and a longtime
friend.
Maybe someday an event like
this will take place in Blooming-
ton rather than Indianapolis.
Knights latest Hoosier State
stop was a two-day reunion with
ex-players about 75 miles north
of Indiana University. Knight
spoke after receiving an award
Friday night, then sat inside a
tent Saturday morning with for-
mer player Landon Turner,
where the two signed autographs
for roughly three hours to help
raise money for Marians athletic
department.
Everyone else was stationed at
foldingtables onthe football field
and spent their free time min-
gling, retelling stories and an-
swering the one questionIndiana
fans have been asking for more
than a decade: What do the Hoo-
siers have to do to get Knight
back to Bloomington?
I hope someday he (Knight)
will be honored at Indiana. That
needs to happen. Somebody
needs to make that happen, said
Scott May, a starter on Knights
1976 unbeaten championship
team and an outspoken critic of
Knights firing.
I think they should name As-
sembly Hall after him, the Bob
Knight Center, May added.
Downing and many of the play-
ers agree with that sort of honor.
But nobody can say whether
even that would be enough.
Knight did not take questions
this weekend. Instead, he spoke
Friday night about the impor-
tance of athletes earningtheir de-
grees and canceled a scheduled
speech to the fans Saturday be-
cause he wasnt feeling well onan
unseasonably warm day in Indi-
anapolis.
The split between the school
that made Knight a household
name in college basketball and
the man who broke Dean Smiths
career record for victories after
landing at Texas Tech began
Sept. 10, 2000. The late Myles
Brand fired Knight after an Indi-
ana freshman accused the coach
of grabbing him by the arm. It
was the final transgression on a
longlist, whichincludedhis most
infamous incident throwing a
chair during a Purdue game.
School officials have made at-
tempts recently to mend fences
with the man who brought the
Hoosiers three national titles and
won a school-record 661 games.
In 2009, Knight was voted into
the schools Hall of Fame along
with Downing. Indiana AD Fred
Glass wrote to Knight twice, ask-
ing whether he would attend the
induction ceremony. A week be-
fore the ceremony, Knight de-
clined the offer, saying he didnt
want to detract fromthe other in-
ductees.
Knight also refused a $75,000
offer from the school that month
to settle a lingering lawsuit be-
cause he said the money came
from alumni donors.
Current Indiana coach Tom
Creanhas reachedout toKnights
former players, too, setting up
get-togethers with players on the
current roster. Some former play-
ers such as Damon Bailey and
Brian Evans have attended
games at Assembly Hall. Crean
also hired Indianas career scor-
ing leader, Calbert Cheaney, as
his director of basketball oper-
ations last summer.
Many fans and some of
Knights players would like to see
the rift end.
Knight will turn 72 in October,
and even pleas from May and
Mike Woodson to attend the Hall
of Fame induction ceremony in
2009 couldnt convince him to
come back. May and Woodson,
now the New York Knicks coach,
flew to Lubbock, Texas, to make
their appeal in person.

ahead 21-7 with 47 seconds left
in the third quarter.
I went out there and did the
best I could, said Lewis, who
hadnt played receiver on a regu-
lar basis since his sophomore
year. I thank Jesus Christ for
giving me the opportunity to
come out here with these guys.
Whenever I go out on the
field, I goas hardas I cantotryto
help my team win.
During Pennsylvanias second
scoring drive of the game, the
former Wyoming Valley West
star and Penn State recruit drew
a 10-yard holding penalty on a
second-and-9. He had the Ohio
defender beaten down the right
sideline until a grab of his jersey
slowed his progress.
Lewis was targeted by Penn-
sylvania quarterbacks three
times in the first. The first throw
over the middle sailed well over
his head. The second the 15-
yard gain was negated by the
illegal formationpenalty. Hewas
held on the third.
Lewis spent the first series
blocking and running short
routes. The three-play posses-
sion ended with quarterback
Skyler Mornhinweg, a Florida
recruit, hitting future Villanova
Wildcat Kevin Guylas on a short
slant for a 61-yard touchdown.
It was good, Lewis said of
blocking, something he rarely
did as a dual-threat quarterback
at Valley West. Thats some-
thing you have to do at the wide
receiver position.
Pennsylvania made it 14-0 at
2:49 of the second quarter when
BloomsburgHighSchools Blake
Rankin, a Rutgers recruit, hit fu-
ture Cincinnati Bearcat Shakim
Alonzo with a 17-yard TD pass.
Turnovers, though, allowed
Ohio to tie the game 21-21 at the
end of regulation. A39-yard field
goal in the first overtime won it.
I wouldhave lookedfor a cou-
ple more passes, Lewis said,
but things happen. They got a
couple picks and there wasnt
much we could really do.
Lewis, who recently gradu-
ated from Meyers after transfer-
ring there in December, will
have a week back in Wilkes-
Barre before reporting to Penn
State on June 24.
Im ready to go, Lewis said.
Now that this is over, its time
for me to get to the big time. Im
excited and cant wait to get up
there next Sunday.

JUSTIN A. SHAW/THE PATRIOT-NEWS
Eugene Lewis (7) looks to get open over the middle at the Big 33
Football Classic at Hersheypark Stadium on Saturday.
HERSHEY -- Nyeem Wart-
man didnt have to be told the
name of the guy he had laid out
on the field.
The Valley View grad and
incoming Penn State linebacker
knew before the game even
started which players on the
other team were headed to
Ohio State.
Oh, I knew, Wartman said.
I was targeting all of those
guys.
All of the Ohio State guys?
Yep.
Just giving them an idea of
whats to come?
Yep.
Wartman got an early start to
his college rivalry at Saturdays
Big 33 Football Classic. His
night was highlighted by one of
the games biggest hits when he
leveled Ohio State running
back recruit Warren Ball in the
second quarter.
Ball had released out into the
left flat and had to wait a few
moments too long for a swing
pass to come his way. Though
he caught the throw without
any issue, he barely made a
step forward before being
smacked by Wartman and dri-
ven down for a 7-yard loss.
It was nice hitting an Ohio
State guy, Wartman said with
a perfectly straight face.
Wartman and fellow District
2 standout Eugene Lewis will
get their chance to face the
Buckeyes soon enough. Both
are officially headed to Penn
State next Sunday to start their
careers as Nittany Lions.
Theyll have to hope, howev-
er, for a better outcome next
time. Ohio rallied for a 24-21
win over Pennsylvania in over-
time.
I thought I did all right,
Wartman said of his perform-
ance. I mean, we lost. So obvi-
ously I couldve done better.
Its kind of frustrating, the fact
that you give the (opposing)
offense so many opportunities.
We threw the game away.
Lewis, a quarterback for
most of his time at Wyoming
Valley West, will play receiver
at Penn State. He lined up there
on Saturday and finished with
two catches for 54 yards, with
both going for first downs.
Both Lewis and Wartman
started for the Pennsylvania
squad, as did defensive end
Evan Schwan (Central Dau-
phin), who is also bound for
Penn State.
Two former Penn State
recruits -- QB Skyler Mornhin-
weg (Florida) and TE J.P. Holtz
(Pitt) -- also suited up for Penn-
sylvania. Both had given verbal
commitments to the Lions but
signed with other schools in
the wake of the Jerry Sandusky
scandal.
A third former Lions pledge,
OL J.J. Denman (Rutgers), was
selected for the game but was
not on the final roster.
Paterno honored
In what figures to be a com-
mon occurrence on football
fields throughout the state this
fall, a moment of silence was
held for Joe Paterno before the
game.
The former Penn State
coach, who died in January,
was a fixture for many years at
the Big 33s annual banquet the
night before the game.
Several Pennsylvania players,
including Lewis, raised their
helmets in the air in tribute
during the brief silence.
Curry makes the trip
Back in a familiar spot and
sporting a familiar dark blue
visor, Berwick coach George
Curry spent time before Sat-
urdays game on the Pennsylva-
nia sideline.
Curry, who was re-appointed
as the Dawgs coach on an inter-
im basis on Monday, was a
popular guest throughout the
evening.
The state record-holder for
coaching wins rivaled honorary
game chairman Ben Roethlis-
berger in the number of pre-
game handshakes he received.
WVC standouts recognized
Curry wasnt the only famil-
iar face hanging around Her-
sheypark Stadium.
Al Kopacz, the former Hanov-
er Area coach, was in attend-
ance. Kopacz was inducted into
the Pennsylvania Football
Coaches Association Hall of
Fame on Friday.
Former Tunkhannock coach
Don Holl, now head coach at
Seneca Valley in the WPIAL,
served as an assistant for the
Pennsylvania team.
A handful of Wyoming Valley
Conference players, including
Nick OBrien (Wyoming Area)
and Shakir Soto (GAR), were
recognized at halftime for their
performances in high school.

you missed a good time.
Sure, the fields for the races
could have been a little bit big-

with a nice sunny day.

Then came the announcement
that American Chris Horner
will be left off the RadioShack-
Nissan Tour de France team.
That was followed by RadioSh-
ack announcing that Andy
Schleckis out of the Tour witha

There was also the retire-
ment announcement of George
Hincapie, Lance Armstrongs
longtime teammate. He will
call it quits after 2012 season.
And, of course, the USADA

Its really interesting to get

about the players maybe the an-

Carleton said.
Carleton, 34, a stay at home

Mike Pereira whenever there is a
questionable ruling in a 49ers
game. Pereira was NFL vice presi-

Foreman, 40, of Lewisburg,

found on Twitter during sport-

Im sort of an expatriate so a

watching WVU, said Foreman,
who works in development at
Bucknell University.
Will Hunsinger knows exactly
what Foreman is talking about.
Hunsinger, 42, is a proud Geor-
getown alum and avid follower of
the mens basketball team.
He was watching a game with
his wife last year while communi-
cating with a friend from Switzer-
land over Facebook and receiving
text messages from his father
when he came up with an idea.
I was like God, if I could just
have this in my hand, where I was

about on Twitter ... it would make
the game even more fun because
now Im connected with all the

He also closed with a 75 in 2009
at the PGA Championship when
he lost a two-shot lead to Y.E.
Yang.
All is not lost for Woods, not to
mention another dozen or so
players.
In a U.S. Open that is living up
to its reputation, it was difficult
for anyone to build a big advan-
tage.
McDowell and Furyk were two
shots ahead of Fredrik Jacobson,
who had a 68. In the group anoth-
er shot behind were Lee West-
wood, whose Saturday-best 67
gave him another shot at his first
major, and Ernie Els, who holed a
long pitch for eagle on the 17th
that carried him to a 68. The Big
Easy is a two-time U.S. Open
champion, with that first title
coming 18 years ago.
Thirteen players were separat-
ed by four shots going into Sun-
day, a list that includes 17-year-
old Beau Hossler, who followed
bogeys with birdies for a 70.
Woods, who has never won a
major frombehind, was five shots
back. His round ended with a
shot from the middle of the 18th
fairway that hung up in the right
collar of rough, and a stubbed
chip that took a hard turn to the
left some 10 feet away.
When he two-putted for his
sixth bogey, his day got a little
worse. Climbing the hill toward
the fabled clubhouse at Olympic,
a photographer brushedpast him
and Woods banged his hand into
the camera. He shook it several
times, but later said he was fine.
The real hurt came fromOlym-
pic.
It was just a tough day on the
greens, and most of the day, I just
kept getting that half-number,
right in between clubs all day,
said Woods, who was either well
long or short on his approach
shots.
Furyk, the only player who has
not had a round over par this
week, and McDowell played to-
gether in the opening two
rounds. On Sunday, much more
is at stake.
But this was not shaping up as
a two-man race for McDowell
and Furyk.
Looking at the leaderboard,
youve got to look down as far as
the guys at 3 or 4 (over) as having
a realistic chance of winning this
tournament, McDowell said.
For every bogey Hossler made,
he answered with a birdie on the
next hole.
His only big blunder came on
the11th, when he was too aggres-
sive witha downhill putt andmis-
sed his par putt from 6 feet. Two
holes later, he hit a heavy chip
from the hazard that rolled back
down a slope for another bogey.
The kid just wouldnt go away,
though, and suddenly he is
dreaming big.
Hossler wanted to make the
cut. Then, he wanted to be the
low amateur. Now?
My goal now is to win the
tournament, he said.
In the 14 majors he has won,
Woods was never worse than par
inthe pivotal thirdroundandhad
a scoring average of 68.3. There
was no way that was going to
hold up on a course like Olympic,
thoughWoods was expectingbet-
ter thanwhat he deliveredonthis
Saturday.
He missed the first fairway,
came up short of the third green
and wound up with three bogeys
through six holes.
Woods wasnt alone in making
mistakes. David Toms, tied for
the second-round lead with Fu-
ryk and Woods at 1 under, played
that rugged six-hole stretch in 5
over and fell six shots behind
with a 76.
Even with the USGA watering
the course Friday night and Sat-
urday morning, Olympic was as
relentless as ever.
But it wasnt impossible.
Westwood showed that, as did
Els, who called it as easy as the
course played all week.
Kevin Chappell, who tied for
third last year to earn a spot in
this U.S. Open, hada 68andtakes
an unthinkable streak of 24 holes
without a bogey into the final
round. He was at 3-over 213,
along with Webb Simpson, who
also had a 68.
Asked if the experience at Con-
gressional would help, Chappell
gave an apt description of what
awaits on Sunday.
Last year we were trying to
make birdies in the U.S. Open,
he said. Andhere, youre just try-
ing to survive.
Westwood came in right behind
Chappell, and while he failed to
take advantage on the par 5s, he
finishedinstylewitha40-foot bird-
ie putt on the 18th for a 67. West-
wood began this week as the third
wheel in a powerful threesome of
the top players in the world rank-
ing. Luke Donald, the world No. 1,
and defending champion Rory
McIlroy have gone home. West-
wood now has another chance to
pick up his first major.
He twice has missed a playoff
by one shot, in the 2008 U.S.
Open at Torrey Pines and the
2009 British Open at Turnberry.
He twice as beenrunner-upinthe
majors.
A win on Sunday would end
that heartache, and return himto
No. 1 in the world.

BROOKLYN, Mich. Thelast
time anyone was this fast in qual-
ifyinginNASCARs topseries, Ri-
chard Petty was still driving.
Hes an owner now, but when
Marcos Ambrose won the Sprint
Cup pole at Michigan Interna-
tional Speedway on Saturday for
Richard Petty Motorsports, the
Hall of Famer was on hand to put
the accomplishment in perspec-
tive. Ambrose posted a speed of
203.241 mph, the first time since
1987 the 200 mph mark was bro-
kenduringSprint Cupqualifying.
I cant hardly remember that
far back, Petty said. To be able
to do it on a flatter race track, not
Daytona or Talladega, that is un-
heard of.
Ambrose made his first Sprint
Cup pole a memorable one on a
day19drivers surpassed200mph
on the newly paved surface at
MIS. Speeds have been soaring
since drivers began testing ses-
sions, and NASCAR decided to
alter the left-side tires for the race
Sunday, but that change didnt af-
fect qualifying.
The last pole winner to break
200 mph in this series was Bill El-
liott, a quarter-century ago at Tal-
ladega. Ambrose hadthe11th-fas-
test pole-winning speed in series
history.
Its going to sound great at the
bar when you have had about six
too many, Ambrose cracked. It
is good bragging rights, I will
give it that.
Ryan Newmans track qualify-
ing record of 194.232 mph went
by the wayside almost immedi-
ately. In fact, 40 drivers broke the
mark, set in 2005.
Petty wona pole at MISin1972
at 157.607 mph.
Whenthey redidthe trackand
came up here testing and said
they were running over 200 mph
it was blowing my mind, Petty
said. I think the last time we
even flirted with that was when
they redid Atlanta and we ran198
or199mph. Weknewit was going
to be quick but I think it was a
whole lot quicker than what we
thought and definitely quicker
than what Goodyear was think-
ing.
Goodyear changed its tire rec-
ommendation Friday night, say-
ing the high speeds caused in-
creased left-side tire temper-
atures. Drivers were routinely ex-
ceeding 200 mph in practice,
with Greg Biffle topping out with
a lap of over 204 on Friday.
Nobody is sure what to expect
for the 400-mile race. Drivers
were allowed an extra practice
session Saturday night after the
tire switch was announced.
We have such a good racecar
and team that I feel we can over-
come the tire change and I think
it is going to make the cars that
arent handling well handle terri-
bly and the cars handling well a
little slower, Ambrose said. I
am hoping and I feel like we are
going to have a teamthat is going
to react with this tire.
Kevin Harvick was second in
qualifying. Biffle was third.
I am extremely happy with
where I qualified. I just go into
turn one and bump Marcos out of
the way, Biffle said. No, I amex-
tremely happy, I just dont know
about this tire that we are going
to.
Carl Edwards had other prob-
lems besides the new tires. Hell
start from the back after aban-
doning his qualifying run.
I think it is a fuel issue, Ed-
wards said. It almost feels like
there is an air leak or something
inthe pickupfor the fuel. It is run-
ning, but it acts like it is running
out of fuel. I wanted to run this
lap so badly. ... I wanted to be the
fastest guy in NASCAR for the
last 25 years.
Points leader Matt Kenseth
qualified sixth. Dale Earnhardt
Jr. was 17th, and Kurt Busch was
26th in his return from a one-
week suspension for verbally
abusing a media member.
Ambrose, the Australian who
has one win in 133 Sprint Cup
starts, entered the record books
in his No. 9 Ford, but the biggest
theme this week hasnt been the
drivers, but rather the trackitself.
It was repaved in the offseason,
and Ambrose joined Elliott, Ben-
ny Parsons and Cale Yarborough
as theonlydrivers towina poleat
over 200 mph.

Marcos Ambrose secures the pole position during qualifying Sat-
urday at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich.
MIAMI At this point a year
ago, LeBron James and Dwyane
Wade were using words like ur-
gency and desperation.
And thats exactly what the
Miami Heat expect the Oklaho-
ma City Thunder to bring into
Game 3 of this
years NBA Fi-
nals.
So far, this
championship
series has fol-
lowed the same
script as a year
ago, with the
home team
winning the
opening match-
up, then falling
in Game 2 to
lose the home-
court edge.
Miami took the
sting of that in-
to Dallas last
year and used it
as fuel to win
Game 3 and the Heat will look
to ensure that trend doesnt re-
peat itself whenthe title matchup
resumes ontheir home floor Sun-
day night.
Youve got the two best teams
in the league right now going
against each other, Wade said
Saturday, when practices re-
sumed after a day off for both
clubs. So its going to be a very
toughgame, but we have to finda
way to win it. And its about tak-
ing, like I said, one possession at
a time, one second, one minute at
a time to make sure we reach our
goal and thats to win the
game.
AGame 3 victory assures noth-
ing, a lesson the Heat learned the
hard way last year. That win in
Dallas was Miamis final victory
of the season.
But there are certain truths
that will come from the outcome
Sunday night. The winner will
have home-court advantage. The
winner will be two games away
from a championship. And the
losing club will see what appears
to be an already razor-thin mar-
ginfor error inthis series become
even more precarious.
We have no other choice,
said Thunder star Kevin Durant,
the leagues scoring champion.
We lost at home. Tough loss.
Weve got to get over it, get ready
for a tough Game 3. You know,
the series is going to be tough.
We know that. We know that.
Youve just got to be ready. Its go-
ing to be a fun one.
By now, the Heat arent shy to
say theyre completely exhausted
about dissecting what went
wrong in last years finals. Still,
they know the importance of not
letting one loss turn into another
because when that happened
against the Mavericks a year ago,
there was a parade in Dallas not
long afterward.
I dont know if we were any
more motivated in Game 2, Erik
Spoelstra said. What we were
was angry about our perform-
ance in Game 1. ... You want to
throw your best punches out
there, andmaythebest teamwin.
Wedidnt throwour best punches
in Game 1.
Add up the numbers from the
first two games of the series, and
it turns into something close to a
statistical dead heat.
Both teams are shooting 47
percent. Both have made 14 tries
from 3-point range (though Mia-
mi is shooting a better percent-
age). The Thunder have grabbed
four more rebounds, the Heat
whistled for two more fouls. The
Thunder outscored Miami by 16
points in the paint during their
Game 1 win; the Heat outscored
the Thunder by 16 points in the
paint during their victory in
Game 2.
Of course, the only stat that
matters is the one thats identical:
one win each, headed into today.
Andif the youngThunder were
supposed to be rattled by losing
the home-court edge, no one told
them.
We have all the right pieces,
from the best scorer in the
league, most athletic point guard
in the league to the best shot
blocker to the best post defender,
best wing defender and our
bench is one of the best, James
Harden said. This is a perfect
team. We are young guns. We get
it done. It has to start inGame 3.
Even their young-looking
coach doesnt sound worried
about thestakes theThunder will
face.
Ive seen all year long a group
thats always committed, that al-
ways sticks by one another, that
believes in the work that we put
in, Scott Brooks said. Andthats
who they are. Its not going to
change.

WEST ALLIS, Wis. Ryan
Hunter-Reay foundhis way back
to victory lane at the Milwaukee
Mile, holding off Tony Kanaan
on Saturday.
It was the sixth career victory
and first this season for Hunter-
Reay, who brought home a vic-
tory for the man who brought
the historic but financially trou-
bledMilwaukeetrackbacktoIn-
dyCar car owner Michael An-
dretti, who served as the race
promoter.
It wasnt the first triumph at
Milwaukee for Hunter-Reay,
who won the 2004 race at the
trackinthe now-defunct Champ
Car Series.
Kanaan was second, followed
by James Hinchcliffe, Oriol Ser-
via and E.J. Viso.
The start of the race was de-
layed about an hour and a half
because of rain.
Scott Dixon, who came into
the race second in the points,
had to serve a drive-through
penalty for jumping a restart
and finished 11th. He ques-
tioned the penalty afterward.
Last years Milwaukee win-
ner, Dario Franchitti, started
frompole position and dominat-
ed early. But he fell back in the
field and then spun out and hit
the wall on lap 195.
Points leader Will Power fin-
ished 12th.
It was a boost for the Milwau-
kee track, which has been host-
ing racing since 1903 but origi-
nally was left off the 2012 Indy-
Car schedule after not hosting
any major racing events in 2010
and drawing a lackluster crowd
for IndyCar last year.
Milwaukee was put back on
this years schedule after An-
dretti agreed to serve as the
races promoter and Andretti
announced just before Satur-
days race that the event would
return in 2013.
Despite the race being a late
addition to the schedule and
then the morning rain delay
the race drewa significantly bet-
ter crowd than last year.
Franchitti was untouchable in
the early stages of the race, lead-
ing the first 60-plus laps before
making his first pit stop. The
race went greenuntil Simona de
Silvestro spun on lap 67, bring-
ing out a caution.
Franchitti was shuffled back
to fourth on the restart, after a
few drivers were on pit road
when the caution came out
including Viso, who took the
lead on the restart.

When Dan Figured was 10, he
dreamed of a career with the
Pennsylvania Game Commis-
sion.
He wanted to be a wildlife con-
servation officer, but also had an
interest in the other PGC pro-
grams, such as wildlife manage-
ment, forestry and land manage-
ment.
Now, Figured is in charge of
them all.
On Thursday, Figured was
named the director of the PGCs
Northeast Region, overseeing all
of the agencys programs in the
13-county area.
That includes law enforce-
ment, information and education
programs, and habitat improve-
ment projects on the nearly
367,000 acres of State Game
Lands in the region (most in the
state).
Its a big task, and one that Fig-
ured is ready to take on.
Im excited. This region is so
diverse, and hunting and trap-
ping our important here, Fig-
ured said. I have a lot of good,
quality people working for me to
help make sure that all of the
agencys programs and goals are
fulfilled, andIminapositionnow
where I can have a
positive impact on
the program.
One of the first
areas that needs to
be fulfilled is law
enforcement.
Counting Figureds
previous post as
law enforcement
supervisor, there
are currently seven
vacant WCO dis-
tricts in the north-
east. Figured said
that number is ex-
pected to climb to
10 in the near fu-
ture.
But help may be
on the way.
Theres aclass of 36intraining
inHarrisburgright now, andthey
will graduate in March. When
they do, we hope to fill eight of
the 10 vacancies, Figured said.
In the meantime, we have dedi-
cated WCOs putting in long
hours to get the job done.
Figured replaces Steve
Schweitzer, who retired April 13.
He hopes to follow in his prede-
cessors footsteps.
Steve was a fair person who
treated his employees well and
was reallycommittedtotheagen-
cys goals, Figured
said. I hope to do
the same.
Figured, who re-
sides in Olyphant,
began his career
withtheGameCom-
mission as a deputy
WCO in Lackawan-
na County in 1995.
He graduated from
the Ross Leffler
School of Conserva-
tion in 1995 and be-
came a WCO in De-
laware County the
following year. In
1998, he transferred
to Lackawanna
County and eventu-
ally became LawEn-
forcement Supervisor in 2006.
Figuredsaidhis time as a WCO
preparedhimfor the jobas region
director.
A WCO is involved in just
about every aspect of the agency
and it has given me experience
working with all of our pro-
grams, he said.

Vasaloppet organizers said in a
statement that Karlsson died
early Saturday. Karlsson is one of

ts a move that might not please all
hunters.
But it doesnt have to.
When the Pennsylvania Game Com-
mission board voted in April to stop
the snowshoe hare season in all but
three Wildlife Management Units, it
was a somewhat unprecedented move.
Sure, the board was eliminating an
opportunity for hunters which, in this
case, is fine.
After all, theyre trying to save a
species.
Habitat change and mild winters
have drastically reduced snowshoe
hare populations throughout much of
its traditional range.
Decades ago, clear cutting pushed
the hare into remote swamps in higher
elevations.
While man views such places as
impenetrable, the hare thrived in such
locales.
But then came subsequent years of
mild winters lacking long periods of
snow cover, leaving the white hares
exposed to predators.
The Pennsylvania Game Commis-
sion uses its Game-Take surveys to
monitor the snow hare population.
The survey says the hares numbers
have dropped.
In 1990, 7,831 hunters pursued snow-
shoe hares, harvesting 3,615. The har-
vest began a slight decline, dropping to
1,747 in 2000. After a peak harvest of
4,584 in 2001, the numbers dwindled to
a low of 685 in 2007.
In 2010, the most recent year of the
survey, 2,756 hunters harvested 1,030
hares.
Will a halt on hunting season be
enough to allow the snowshoe hare to
rebound?
Hunting not lone issue
PGC biologist Kevin Wenner said the
halt will obviously reduce one mortal-
ity factor faced by hares, but just how
big of a factor that was remains to be
seen.
The hare season was a short, five-day
period beginning the day after Christ-
mas and concluding Jan. 1, with a daily
limit of one.
Thats not a long time, but in areas
where the population is already danger-
ously low, it doesnt take much time to
do irreparable harm.
There are still areas such as the
swamps in the Poconos -- that still hold
healthy hare populations. Ive heard
some discontent from hunters in those
areas who now have to sit the season
out.
Its a shame to lose the opportunity,
but I really dont see how the PGC
could keep the season open solely in
those areas where the population is
strong.
Sure, the board did do that by leav-
ing WMUs 2F, 2G and 3A in the north-
ern tier open, but that may lead to
problems.
Will die-hard snowshoe hare hunters
flock to that area now because its the
only place left open? Could such an
occurrence put too much hunting pres-
sure on the hare population in that
area, and diminish it there as well?
I dont know, Wenner said. Many
of the die-hard guys are willing to drive
to Maine or upstate New York to hunt
hares, so it wouldnt surprise me if
theyre willing to travel to these units
to hunt them.
Perhaps a temporary statewide ban
would be more logical, but for right
now a brief break on snowshoe hunting
could prove extremely beneficial for
the hare population overall.
Coupled with the PGCs habitat work
to create more early successional forest
prime hare habitat -- a rebound for
the snowshoe may be on the horizon.
And the chance to hunt them again,
which is secondary in importance,
could soon follow.

Arboretumat Wilkes
Wilkes University joins a select
group of colleges and universities
when the Grayson Arboretum is
dedicated on campus on June 27. A
ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held
at 4 p.m. near the labyrinth across
the street from the Henry Student
Center at 84 W. South Street. Mem-
bers of the community are invited to
attend. The event makes Wilkes only
the second college campus in north-
east Pennsylvania with an arboretum.
The Wilkes University Board of
Trustees voted to establish the arbo-
retum at its March board meeting.
More than 450 trees and shrubs
comprise the arboretum, many of
which are native species rarely seen
in the area. It is the project of Patty
Gilmour, wife of Wilkes president Tim
Gilmour, who is retiring from the
university June 30. Patty Gilmour
literally had a hand in planting many
of the trees and shrubs. The arbore-
tum is named in honor of her daugh-
ter, who will be attending the event.
An arboretum is a living museum
established for the effective display
of trees, shrubs and vines. The speci-
mens are maintained, labeled, cata-
logued and mapped. The Grayson
Arboretum at Wilkes will be used for
educational purposes as well as for
community enjoyment. Markers
displaying information about the
various trees have been installed
throughout the Wilkes campus so
that visitors can learn about the
various specimens. A brochure with a
map for the Grayson Arboretum
detailing the many plants, trees and
shrubs on the Wilkes campus can be
downloaded on the university web
site at www.wilkes.edu. Click on
About Wilkes and find the Gardens
and Green link under Campus. The
brochures also will be available to
visitors at the information desk of
the Henry Student Center beginning
June 27.
The Grayson Arboretum is one of a
number of projects that Patty Gil-
mour has spearheaded at Wilkes to
beautify the campus. The North
Branch Land Trust honored the
Gilmours with its Community Stew-
ardship Award in May, noting Pattys
contributions taking a lead role in the
greening of the Wilkes campus and in
advancing sustainable landscaping
practices.
OUTDOORS NEWS
heat, CO2 and vibrations,
Koval said. The numbers
havent decreased at all from
last year. Theyre still abun-
dant.
And that abundance has
forced many people who work
in the woods to integrate pre-
cautions into their daily rou-
tine.
Lylo said ticks are always
discussed during his regions
monthly safety briefing. If an
employee gets a tick bite, the
incident is documented.
We have more tick bites
this year than in the past, he
said.
Koval said he gets tested for
Lyme disease which is
caused by deer ticks, annually.
Before his nature walks at
Skytop, he advises guests that
they may encounter ticks and
offers precautions, such as
tucking in pants and shirts,
using a topical spray with
DEETand spraying clothing
with permethrin. Wearing
light colored clothing also
helps to spot ticks, he said.
The deer tick is smaller
with dark legs, Koval said.
Tick numbers havent dis-
couraged attendance with our
walks. People are usually al-
ready aware of it.
And for those who work in
or just simply enjoy being
outdoors, tick encounters have
become a way of life.
You can lessen your chanc-
es by not walking on deer trails
where ticks are waiting for a
host, Koval said. But protec-
tion is the best prevention. You
can still enjoy the outdoors
despite ticks.
Nick Lylo just finished his
walk through the Laurel Run
and Penobscot mountain areas
and pulled a dozen ticks off of
his clothing.
It couldve easily been more.
Lylo, who is the regions
district forester with the state
Department of Conservation
and Natural Resources, said
his staff is encountering ticks
just about every where they go
within the five-county region
(Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wyom-
ing, Wayne and Susquehanna
counties).
Were finding themin the
forest, brush, open areas, field
edges, power lines I cant tell
you a place where we havent
encountered ticks, Lylo said.
As a biologist with the Penn-
sylvania Game Commission,
Kevin Wenner spends many of
his workdays in the woods. He
said the tick encounters has
simmered down of late, but
that wasnt the case in March
and April.
It was pretty fierce with
ticks. The staff was covered in
ticks, Wenner said. It was
pretty much spread through-
out the region. You go into any
brush or grassy area, they were
there.
Lylos employees began
encountering ticks in March
and it has continued ever
since. Current hotspots, he
said, are the Route118 corridor
fromDallas to Ricketts Glen,
and the areas along Route 29
fromWest Nanticoke to Pikes
Creek.
It wasnt always like this.
When Lylo began working
with DCNRin the Northcen-
tral Region 21years ago, he
said ticks werent even thought
of.
I didnt see one until 2000,
and nowit seems to be a state-
wide issue, Lylo said.
I dont knowwhy it has
increased. Is it because of the
mild winter? Increase in hosts,
such as small mammals?
Change in habitat? Imnot
sure.
Naturalist Rick Koval, who
said he finds15 to 20 embed-
ded ticks in his skin every year,
believes the increase in ticks is
the result of an upswing in
hosts. Tick larvae use white-
footed mice and deer mice as
their blood hosts, he said.
In the nymph stage, they
latch onto larger mammals,
such as raccoons and squirrels.
And as adults the stage when
ticks can climb higher onto
brush and limbs, they feed on
deer, bears and people.
They need blood to live and
its dictated by the available
hosts, Koval said. They hang
onto a branch, arch up and
latch on like Velcro to whatev-
er passes by.
Koval works as the head
naturalist for the Skytop Lodge
in Monroe County. When it
comes to tick encounters, he
said, the Poconos are no differ-
ent than anywhere else.
Right now, its more the
large wood ticks in the adult
stage, and were finding them
high on blueberry shrubs and
other brush. They sense body
Ticks out

a few precautions, he said the pests arent a problem. Top: An immature wood tick.
Numbers seem to be up in past decade

1. Tick bites and tick-borne dis-
eases are completely preventable
Theres really only one way you
get a tick-transmitted disease
and thats from a tick bite. Re-
ducing tick abundance in your
yard, wearing tick-repellent
clothing every day, treating pets
every month and getting into a
habit of doing a quick body scan
are all great actions for prevent-
ing tick bites.
2. Clothing with built-in tick
repellent is best for preventing
tick bites.
3. The easiest and safest way to
remove a tick is with tweezers.
Using tweezers, its possible to
grab even the poppy-seed sized
nymphs right down next to the
skin. The next step is to simply
pull the tick out like a splinter.
4. Deer tick nymphs look like a
poppy seed on your skin And
with about 1 out of 4 nymphal
deer ticks carrying the Lyme
disease spirochete and other
nasty germs in the northeastern,
mid-Atlantic, and upper mid-
western U.S., its important to
know what youre really looking
for. Theyre easy to miss, their
bites are generally painless, and
they have a habit of climbing up
(under clothing) and biting in
hard-to-see places.
5. For most tick-borne diseases,
you have at least 24 hours to find
and remove a feeding tick before
it transmits an infection. Even a
quick daily tick check at bath or
shower time can be helpful in
finding and removing attached
ticks before they can transmit an
infection. Lyme disease bacteria
take at least 24 hours to invade
the ticks saliva.
6. Only deer ticks transmit Lyme
disease bacteria. The only way to
get Lyme disease is by being
bitten by a deer tick or one of its
"cousins" found around the
world.
7. Ticks carry disease-causing
microbes. Tick-transmitted in-
fections are more common these
days than in past decades. With
explosive increases in deer pop-
ulations, extending even into
semi-urban areas in the eastern
and western U.S., the trend is for
increasing abundance and ge-
ographic spread of deer ticks and
Lone Star ticks; and scientists
are finding an ever-increasing list
of disease-causing microbes
transmitted by these ticks: Lyme
disease bacteria, Babesia proto-
zoa, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and
other rickettsia, even encepha-
litis-causing viruses, and possibly
Bartonella bacteria. Back in the
day, tick bites were more of an
annoyance but now a bite is
much more likely to make you
sick.
8. Ticks can be active even in the
winter. Deer ticks in particular
are not killed by freezing temper-
atures, and will be active any
winter day that the ground is not
snow-covered or frozen.
9. All ticks (including deer ticks)
come in small, medium and large
sizes.
10. Ticks crawl up. Ticks dont
jump, fly, or drop from trees onto
your head and back. If you find
one attached there, it most likely
latched onto your foot or leg and
crawled up over your entire body.

r.org
T E N FA C T S A B O U T T I C K S
Koval recommends against using
a lighter or Vaseline to remove a
tick. That will only make them
embed deeper, he said.
Instead, Koval said he grabs the
tick by the body, flips it back-
wards and pulls it off. If the head
detaches, it can still be removed.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A cold front will trigger showers and thunderstorms in the Great Lakes and
Midwest today. Moist, unstable air will also fuel scattered showers and thunderstorms ahead of the
front, especially over the Appalachians in the afternoon. Thunderstorms will have the potential to be
stronger or possibly severe near a warm front in the northern Plains.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N D
timesleader.com
A
lot of ink, airtime and bytes
were expended last week respon-
ding to a Federal Reserve report
that showed the median net worth of
American families fell nearly 40 per-
cent from 2007 to 2010. If you owned
anything of value stocks, an SUV or a
house you probably didnt escape the
decline.
Ideologues on both sides of the polit-
ical spectrum tried to use the report to
bolster their own biases and denigrate
those who disagree with them. Some
conservative apologists pointed out
that Americans had benefited from two
financial bubbles in the previous dec-
ade dot-com in 2001 and real estate
until 2007 implying that net worth
had been artificially high. Sorry, but
that doesnt fly; the 2010 figure is about
equal to net worth in 1992, which itself
was a low point. There had been a
relatively steady climb upward since
then, with a spike in 2007. (The Fed
conducts the survey every three years.)
President Barack Obama and his
supporters didnt dispute the drop, but
blamed it on his predecessor, George
W. Bush. While thats where some of
the blame surely lies, many of the pol-
icies that got us here were embraced by
a Democratic majority in Congress
happy to pretend the good times could
last forever or at least until they
were re-elected.
All that back-and-forth is just white
noise, though, and it distracts from the
most important news in the report
the Great Recession did its greatest
damage to the middle class, the vast
majority of working people who form
the backbone of our economy. Jabber
on all you like about wealthy job cre-
ators but the truth is, piling more
money in their investment accounts
wont restore growth because there
simply arent enough of them and they
wont spend their hoards on things that
require businesses to hire more work-
ers.
Digging deeper into the figures, its
easy to see why many Americans
particularly in the bottom 90 percent
feel bitter, angry and discouraged.
Heres one reason; while middle-class
families took it on the chin, the wealth-
iest saw their median net worth rise
slightly.
Perhaps more important, the differ-
ence between the median and average
net worth numbers is another reminder
of the widening gap between the rich
and the rest in America. Going back to
1998, the mean, or average net income
was just under four times the median,
which is the point at which half of
families are above and half below. The
actual numbers then were $359,700
average and $91,300 median.
By 2007 the difference was approach-
ing five times, with the average familys
net worth at $556,300 and the median
at $120,300. In terms of growth, the
average driven by a relatively few
super-high earners was up 55 percent
but the median rose only 32 percent.
Recent figures say the gap narrowed
somewhat with the downturn in mar-
kets but has widened again.
And here are two more scary num-
bers: Home equity made up $55,000 of
that median familys 2010 net worth of
$77,300, meaning they had less than
$25,000 in financial or other assets.
And, not only did net worth decline, so
did income, by nearly 8 percent.
Chances are most workers also were
asked to shoulder more of the cost for
health insurance, too, if they were
fortunate enough to have it through
their employers.
Some smart economists are begin-
ning to warn that starving the middle
to feed the top inevitably will lead to a
weaker economy in which everyone
will suffer. Most Americans already
knew that from firsthand experience;
business and political leaders need to
get the message before its too late.

NEW YORK Small businesses that
make machines and components for
other manufacturers are experiencing
an upswing that could be a sign of
things to come for the broader econo-
my.
The industries fueling the demand
vary. In some cases, business is coming
from medical device makers, which are
expected to see increasing growth as
baby boomers age and need more med-
ical care. An uptick in orders is coming
from oil and gas producers supplying
energy to growing economies in coun-
tries such as China and India. And then
some are getting a pop in sales from
aerospace manufacturers that are busy
building fuel-efficient aircraft and en-
gines and need special parts to get the
job done.
As different as these manufacturers
may be, they have two things in com-
mon: Their industries are expected to
see continued growth and theyre in-
vesting in expensive machinery that
can cost millions of dollars.
This small manufacturer machinery
boom may seem at odds with an econo-
my that is suffering from slow job
growth following the worst recession
many can remember. But the increase
in demand for gear that businesses use
to make a variety of machines, parts,
tools and devices is a sign that compa-
nies are more confident and are willing
to spend. Theyre also getting loans
from banks to buy the equipment
evidence that lenders are feeling more
secure.
Last year, industrial and materials
manufacturers had a 37 percent in-
crease in big equipment purchases, ac-
cording to PayNet, a company that
tracks lending to small businesses. That
compares to an average of 17 percent for
all the industries PayNet follows.
Were positioning ourselves now to
have the capacity to respond quickly,

Dynamic Sealing Technologies, which
last month spent $450,000 on new

Bryan-Smith was in town for
only a month when she entered
the executive leadership pro-
gram.
She was well suited for the
program and enthusiastically
embraced Leadership Wilkes-
Barre and our entire communi-
ty, said Lori Nocito, leader-
ships executive director.
She has been a friend and
mentor to many, added Noci-
to. Her leadership abilities are
matched by her kindness and
compassion for others and it is
an honor to call her my friend.
The program has paid divi-
dends.
I quickly learned from them
what it meant to be a servant
leader, said Bryan-Smith. It
means that you give your time
back to the community.
She does it on her own and
Geisinger gets involved as well.
Employees participate in the
local events. The campus
adopted a classroom at the
nearby Head Start on Beekman
Street. It hosts communitydays
and attracts a crowd on its San-
ta Christmas Day.
The campus also partnered
with the Luzerne County Dis-
trict Attorneys office on estab-
lishing the first Childrens Ad-
vocacy Center in a vacant con-
vent that used to house the
nuns that founded Mercy Hos-
pital Wilkes-Barre, now the
Geisinger campus.
Her work outside work was
made easier by the welcome
she and her husband received.
I think people know how
high I am on living in this com-
munity because its the frien-
dliest place weve ever lived,
she said. Theyve calledthe Phi-

Q.: Three years ago, I was
hired to set up and run a new
hospital pharmacy. Everything
was going fine until an external
audit turnedup some problems,
andI wasblamedforeverything.
I had hoped to have a career
here, but nowImnot so sure.
Recently, management hired
another pharmacist who seems
to be after my job. She frequent-
ly accuses me of not keeping up
with my work. Its true that I
dont put in as many hours as I
usedto, but thats onlybecause I
need to spend more time at
home with my newbaby.
Although I previously had a
good relationship with my boss,
nowheandhis manager saythat
I complain too much. Is my ca-
reer doomed or is there a way to
fix this?
A.: Your career may not be
dead, but its certainly on life
support. In addition to express-
ing concerns about both your
competence and your attitude,
management also appears to
have hired a potential replace-
ment. Soyouneedtotakeaction
quickly.
The key to salvaging this sit-
uation is to stop complaining
and start implementing a recov-
ery plan. To begin repairing
your relationship with manage-
ment, you must first acknowl-
edge past difficulties, then pre-
sent a proposal for getting back
on track.
For example: I realize that
lately I have not been doing my
best work, but fromnowon, my
goal is to make this a model
pharmacy. I have outlined spe-
cific steps tocorrect the audit is-
sues and bring everything up to
date. As I implement this plan, I
would like for us to meet regu-
larly to assess my progress.
If you can live up to these
promises, you may be able to
resurrect your reputation. But
should you find that the de-
mands of this job conflict with
the demands of parenthood,
then you may need to start
searching for a more child-
friendly position.
Q: Our new general manager
is driving the whole staff crazy.
She has a bad temper and ap-
pears to be incapable of giving
us clear directions. She will tell
us to do something a certain
way, then completely forget
what shesaidandstart yellingat
us for doing exactly as we were
told. She is also very heavy and
dresses unprofessionally.
We recently heard that her
daughter moved out of the
house because of her mothers
behavior, so apparently her fam-
ily cant stand her either. A cou-
ple of people mentioned this
problemto the owner, but so far
he hasnt done anything. What
do you suggest?
A: Since your volatile boss is
unlikely to respond well to con-
structive criticism, going over
her head may be your only
choice. If the owner has ignored
previous feedback, perhaps its
time for the entire staff to meet
withhimas agroup. Just besure
tokeepthe focus onbusiness-re-
lated issues when expressing
your concerns. Discussing your
managers weight or family
problems will only make you
sound petty and reduce your
credibility.

CHAMBER HONORS
DRYFOOS INSURANCE
Atty. Elizabeth Maguschak, Greater Hazleton Chamber of
Commerce board chair, presents a certificate to Llewellyn
Dryfoos, III noting his family companys 90 years as a mem-
ber of the chamber. Dryfoos Insurance Company Inc., Hazle-
ton, first joined the chamber in June 1922. Lew Dryfoos, III
served as chairman of the organization from 2010-2012 and
previously he served on the board from 2002-2005 and as a
vice chairman from 2005-2010.
equipment after spending
$800,000 last year. In 2011, Dy-
namic Sealing paid $3.2 million
to expand its Andover, Minn.,
factory. The company makes
manufacturing equipment for
companies including food pack-
agers and oil and gas producers.
Pastoors says the company sees
good potential growth in the in-
dustries it serves. The compa-
nys revenue rose 20 percent last
year after doubling in 2010.
Sales for privately held indus-
trial machinery manufacturers,
including companies of all sizes,
are up nearly 23 percent in the
last 12 months, according to Sa-
geworks, a financial research
firm.
Wells Fargo & Co. also is see-
ing an increase in lending to
companies that manufacture
products for other companies,
says Hugh Long, head of busi-
ness banking. The bank would
not provide a breakdown of how
much lending to companies that
make machinery and compo-
nents has gone up, but that par-
ticular subset of the manufactur-
ing business is quite active,
Long says.
Generous tax breaks that
small businesses got during the
recession were also an incentive
for these manufacturers to buy
big equipment. However, those
breaks have been scaled back
dramatically this year. For exam-
ple, what was a $500,000 deduc-
tion last year is now down to
$125,000. Its not certain that
Congress will increase them be-
fore Dec. 31.
Many small manufacturers
spend months on design and de-
velopment to customize parts
for their customers. The com-
plexities involved have given
U.S. manufacturers an edge.
Thats helped some small com-
panies in the U.S. take business
away from manufacturers in Chi-
na.
For specialty manufacturing
products, the end users are con-
cluding its better to have pro-
duction close by, here in the
U.S., says William Phelan, the
president of PayNet. If theres a
problem, they can get the parts
shipped overnight, and transpor-
tation costs are less.
The heavy toll that the reces-
sion took on the manufacturing
business has also encouraged
many companies to buy machin-
ery. Manufacturers that went out
of business left behind a glut of
machines.
John Maurer has bought four
machines in the last year and
has been getting bargains

price of a new one and were only
a year old. He expects to buy
two this year for his familys
Springfield, Ohio-based compa-
ny, Esterline & Sons Manufac-
turing, whose customers include
aerospace and medical device
companies and power plants.

to an American Pet Products Association
survey last year.
When the group last surveyed business-
es, in 2006, one in five was dog-friendly.
That number is probably holding steady if
you include one-person offices, work-at-
home pet owners and retail shops, said Len
Kain, co-founder andeditor of DogFriendly-
.com, whichlists dog-friendly companies in
every state.
Some of the nations largest employers
are dog-friendly like Google and Ama-
zon.com. Keeping employees happy is one
of the main reasons cited by employers.
Engineering and software companies
are often the type of company that is pet-
friendly, Kain said. These companies
have trouble finding people with the skills
they needanddonot want tolose these em-
ployees.
Extrovertic, a health care communica-
tions agency with 40 employees and offices
in New York City and Cambridge, Mass.,
tested the waters last year with Take Your
Dog to Work Day. On June 22 this year, it is
sponsored by North Carolina-based Pet Sit-
ters International to promote adoption.
The experiment was so successful that
the company went dog-friendly and Sally, a
5-year-oldrescuebeagleownedbysupervis-
ing account manager Jared Shechtman, be-
came Take Your Dog to Work Days poster
dog.
We are a small agency. We want tobe dif-
ferent. We want the quality of our employ-
ees lives tobe better thanthey wouldget at
a bigger agency. Having dogs in the office is
another way of saying, We are different and
wecareabout you, saidcompanyCEODo-
rothy Wetzel.
Fifteento20of the120employees or free-
lancers working at Authentic Entertain-
ment bringtheir dogs towork, saidco-foun-
der andexecutive producer LaurenLexton.
Lexton and Tom Rogan decided to let
peoplebringdogs toworkwhentheyfound-
ed the company11years ago, because it al-
ways felt right. Dogs give a softer element
to everyday work and there is something
about having themaround that makes peo-
ple happy.
Having animals around also encourages
camaraderie, McCormacksaid. Dogs auto-
matically break downbarriers. They are au-
tomatic conversationstarters andicebreak-
ers.
Not every business can allow dogs, said
Kain, who started DogFriendly.com with
his wife Tara 15 years ago in Anchor Point,
Alaska.
Companies may be located in buildings
that ban dogs; it can be illegal for a food
store, restaurant, hair salon (in some
states) or medical office; and insurance
may be a barrier, he said.
For others, allowing pets may be a way to
help make do with fewer employees work-
ing longer hours. By allowing dogs at
work, an employee doesnt have to leave to
take care of the pet, Kain said.
At Authentic Entertainment, Dollys big-
gest hurdle was deliverymen. She has al-
ways had a fear of carts and boxes and peo-
ple in uniform, McCormack said.

Summer is traditionally a slower
season for toy makers. Last
year, 48 percent of Mattels an-
nual net income came from the
year-end holidays. But a slate of
hit movies has financial analysts
optimistic about this summer.
The Avengers is the years
top-grossing movie and has
brought strong toy sales, ana-
lysts at KeyBanc say. They say
upcoming releases of Brave,
an animated movie, and the lat-
est installments of Spider-Man
and Batman should also help
raise demand. They have Buy
ratings on Mattel (MAT), Hasbro
(HAS) and Jakks Pacific
(JAKK).
TECHIFIED
Your small-cap stock mutual fund may soon get more technology heavy. Each
year, Russell reshuffles whats in its Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks, and
its in the midst of the process now. Its because index funds will shift their hold-
ings to match the index. Even actively managed funds run by stock pickers will
take note, because they compare their performance against the index. When this
years reshuffling is
done, Credit Su-
isse strategist Lori
Calvasina says
tech stocks will
make up 18 per-
cent of the index,
up from 16 percent
currently. Financial
stocks will become
less prominent,
making up 21 of
the index, down
from 24 percent.

POLICY SHOCK
Investors attention is focused on Europe, but Washington
may soon grab the spotlight. Economists are already wor-
ried about the possible fiscal cliff of tax increases and
spending cuts slated for the start of 2013. It could throw the
economy into another recession. Small businesses have al-
ready taken note.
They identify taxes
as their single most
important problem,
according to a sur-
vey by the National
Federation of Inde-
pendent Business-
es. Theyre more
worried about tax-
es than about weak
sales, which was
their top concern a
year ago.

Jim Kochan says too many invesJim
Kochan says too many investors are
playing it too conservatively. By
avoiding the stock market or riskier
bonds and hiding out in cash, he
says they are losing out on potential
gains.
What do you think of the height-
ened expectations that the Feder-
al Reserve will buy more bonds to
help the economy?
Frankly, I wonder why people even
ask the question because there are
so many other factors that are far
more powerful than what the Feds
doing to influence our markets right
now.
You mean Europes debt crisis?
Europe is doing the Feds work for it:
bringing Treasury yields down. The
whole point of Operation Twist (the
Feds last big move) was to get the
10-year Treasury yield down so that
mortgage rates would come down
and somehow wed get a recovery in
housing. Well, until two months ago,
yields hadnt moved much at all. Op-
eration Twist was a non-event until
Europe exploded on us again.
Is there any reason for an inves-
tor choosing now between stocks
and bonds to go for bonds?
By almost any objective measure,
equities are cheaper than bonds.
There is no reason in my mind for in-
vestors to be owning Treasurys or
those markets that are closely asso-
ciated with Treasurys. TIPS
(Treasury Inflation-Protected Securi-
ties) should be sold. Their yields are
simply too low.
Do any bonds look good?
The markets that offer some degree
of value are high-yield corporates
and some municipal bonds, be-
cause the difference in yields to
Treasurys are extremely wide.
What do you think when people
say that bonds are in a bubble?
Think about other bubbles. In real
estate, you lost 50 percent of the
value of your portfolio. Thats not go-
ing to happen with Treasurys. If you
buy at this level, you could lose 10
percent of your portfolio. A20 per-
cent reduction would not be surpris-
ing, but youre not losing half your
principal, because youre still collect-
ing the bonds interest payments.
It also gives investors another ex-
cuse for sitting in cash. For two-
and-a-half years now, if you were in-
vested in short-termTreasury bills,
your total return would have been a
total 0.4 percent. And your total re-
turn on a muni portfolio would have
been 18 to 19.
To be fair, muni bond prices were
volatile over that time.
Thats true. But if the investor would
have just stayed with a strategy of
collecting income as opposed to
cash, he would have been far better
off. We have far too many investors
in this country going broke safely,
holding cash still. They should be in
equities. They should have been in
fixed income all along, and there are
still a few places where they can
generate decent income in fixed in-
come.

There are more than 7 billion people on the planet.
And another 2 billion are expected by 2050.
Access to safe drinking water is a problem thats
feared to get worse as populations swell
and cities grow faster than their sewer
systems.
Investors who want to support
addressing this issue need to be mindful
of how their money is being put to work.
There are several options, but each
comes with its own drawbacks.
Chemical and equipment
producers. This includes conglomerates
like General Electric, which makes water
purification equipment. Profits can be
volatile, and few of these companies are
pure-play water investments. At GE, water is part of
the energy infrastructure division, which generated 30
percent of the companys 2011 revenue.
Mutual funds and ETFs. Both water mutual
funds and exchange-traded funds can include stocks
that operate outside of the water industry. One of the
top holdings of the PowerShares Water
Resources Portfolio ETF (PHO) is Flowserve.
Financial analysts like the stock, but last year
40 percent of its orders for pumps, valves and
other equipment came from the oil and gas
industry.
Water utilities. These companies tend to
have steady profits and dividends. That
makes them attractive in turbulent markets,
says Janney financial analyst Ryan Connors.
Still many of these pure-play stocks can be
volatile because the companies are small.
Connors likes American Water Works, which
has a market value of $6 billion. Its stock rose 26
percent last year and has a dividend yield of 3
percent.

When it comes to profits, a track
record matters.
The Jensen Quality Growth mu-
tual fund (JENSX), for example,
wont even consider a stock unless
it has been profitable for 10 straight
years. Not only that, it must have
had a return on equity of great-
er than 15 percent each of those
years. A companys return on equi-
ty, or ROE, shows how efficiently it
uses shareholders money to make
profits.
To derive the figure, take a
companys net income and divide
it by shareholders equity, which is
how much a company is worth after
subtracting its liabilities from its as-
sets. During 2009, the ROE on the
Standard & Poors 500 index fell as
low as 8 percent.
This screen shows stocks in the
S&P 500 index that have had ROE
of at least 20 percent in each of
the last 10 years. It also shows on-
ly stocks with a price 15 times their
earnings per share over the last 12
months, or less.
Most of the screened stocks have
dividend yields above the S&P 500s
of 2.1 percent. Dell is an exception,
but only because it just announced
last week that it would pay its first
dividend.

Mortgage rates rise, finally
The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage
rose for the first time in seven weeks, pulling away
from its record low. It rose to 3.71 percent from
3.67 percent but is still well below its year-ago
level of 4.5 percent. Mortgage rates have dropped
with Treasury yields. The Federal Reserve has
kept short-term rates at nearly zero since 2008
and pledged to keep them there until 2014.

Imagine Scruffys Chicken Shack
(ticker: BUKBUK), with just 10
million shares outstanding, valued at
$10 each. (Total market value: $100
million.) Institutions that might typi-
cally buy $10 million worth of shares
cant do so with Scruffys without
buying fully 10 percent of the entire
company, something theyre often
prohibited from doing.
Those of us who discover
Scruffys early and buy shares
before Wall Street does stand to ben-
efit. Once Wall Street gets involved
and institutions begin buying lots
of shares, high demand will boost
the stock price and the wealth of
existing shareholders.
Discovering a small but growing
company with significant insider
ownership and low institutional
ownership is a promising scenario.
The company should be sound,
though, with growing sales and
earnings and a strong competitive
position, among other things. You
can call any public company and
ask its investor relations department
about insider and institutional own-
ership. Or look them up online, at
sites such as finance.yahoo.com.
Just remember that small compa-
nies can be volatile and are often best
for investors with some experience.

Meet National
Oilwell Varco
Though its history goes back to
1841, you probably havent heard
of National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:
NOV). Still, you might want to
invest in it.
With a market cap of nearly $30
billion, the company, which special-
izes in equipment and supplies for oil
and gas exploration and production,
is bigger than General Mills or Dell.
Its recent quarterly report featured
revenue of $4.3 billion, up 37 percent
over year-ago levels, and net income
up 49 percent. Rig technology rev-
enue grew nearly 41 percent, and the
segments backlog of orders now
tops $10 billion.
The companys strengths include a
diverse product line, growing oilfield-
equipment demand and a healthy bal-
ance sheet, with billions in cash and
little debt. Great opportunity for the
company lies in deepwater drilling
and shale drilling, and it is benefiting
from shorter construction cycles in
Asian shipyards. In addition, several
major oil companies have discovered
large new reserves and will be invest-
ing billion of dollars on new drill-
ing rigs. Already, National Oilwell
Varcos equipment sits on some 90
percent of the worlds oil rigs.
There are risks, too, of course.
For example, if natural gas prices
stay low or fall further, it might not
be worth spending a lot of money
drilling for it in difficult locations.
With a lowP/E ratio and steep
growth rates, the stock looks attractive.

Lucky Speculation
Not so very long ago, I invested
in a pink-sheet penny stock. It
was purely speculative and purely
on a recommendation in an email
touting a gold-mining company.
I didnt check anything out other
than the stocks past per-
formance. It had surged
recently, and once I bought,
it kept rising some more. I
got scared, in spite of what looked
like investor confidence, and bailed
at nearly twice what I paid.
Today the stock is trading for
less than a 10th of what I bought
it at. I was dumb and didnt do
my due diligence. Fortunately,
it worked out to give me a 95
percent return over the course
of 20 days but it was a stupid
purchase and just dumb luck. I
learned along the way that the
email promoting the company
had actually been paid for by the
company. M.M., Abilene, Texas
The Fool Responds: You did
indeed luck out. Remember that
reputable and established companies
dont send out emails hyping their
own stock and urging people to
buy. Its usually best to avoid stocks
trading for less than $5 per share.

Deciphering
Fund Types
Q
What are fixed income and
equity income mutual funds?
P.T., Kankakee, Ill.
A
When you see the term fixed
income, think bonds. Thats
because most bonds have fixed
interest rates, letting you know
exactly what kind of income they
will offer you.
Meanwhile, equity funds focus
on stocks, and equity income
funds will likely hold stocks that
pay relatively high dividends, aim-
ing to provide investors with regular
streams of income.
This is different from growth or
value funds, which invest in com-
panies whose stock is expected to
advance, regardless of whether the
companies even pay a dividend.
Many fast-growing companies dont
pay any dividends, as they prefer
to funnel most of their income into
fueling their growth.
Mutual funds that focus on
income are generally best suited to
those who need regular distribu-
tions of cash, such as people in
retirement. However, even retirees
might remain invested in some other
funds or stocks, simply selling off
a portion each year to generate the
income they need.

Q
I own a few stocks. One
has lost value, one is
about the same after several
years, and some have done well. I
need to pay my sons college tuition
soon, so which stocks should I sell?
S.F., Norwich, Conn.
A
First, forget how the stocks
have done in the past. What
matters is each companys future.
Try ranking them by how much
confidence you have in their
health and growth prospects.
Sell the ones in which you have
the least faith. Your money
should always be concentrated
on your best ideas.

Insiders and Institutions
If youre studying a small company
in order to decide whether to invest in
it, its good to find out whether insid-
ers or institutions own many shares.
Insider holdings are generally a
good thing. If employees own a
chunk of a company, they have an
incentive to make it succeed. Insid-
ers buying shares is also promising,
as they must expect the shares to
rise in value.
Dont be alarmed by insider sales,
though. Company stock is a major
portion of many executives com-
pensation, so they may occasionally
sell some shares to send a kid to
college or to buy a car.
Still, lots of executives selling is
a red flag.
With small companies, we like
to see insiders owning 15 percent
or more and little ownership by
institutions such as mutual funds
and pension funds.
When promising small companies
have little or no institutional owner-
ship, its often because the big play-
ers are sidelined. Small firms usually
have relatively few shares outstand-
ing, and their total value is modest.

VIEWS S E C T I O N E
timesleader.com
FOR THE past year,
weve been relent-
lessly reminded that
Republicans didnt
especially love their
front-running presi-
dential candidate.
Mitt Romney wasnt
conservative enough, they said. He
flip-flopped. He couldnt connect with
everyday Americans. He was too squea-
ky clean. Hes a conehead, according
to one commentator.
After months of such pitiless refrains,
these tropes morphed into the conven-
tional wisdom: Romney couldnt beat
Barack Obama. It was hard to imagine
what it must have been like to be Rom-
ney, scorned and maligned by his own
tribe. Nevertheless, he persisted as
though he were skipping down a rose-
strewn path rather than hacking his
way through the bramble bush.
Even now, with his nomination vir-
tually assured, Republicans are said to
be falling in line behind the former
Massachusetts governor because, well,
what choice do they have, really? He
might not be the best, goes the shrug,
but hes the best theyve got.
Now it appears Obama is getting a
taste of Romneys stew. Democrats
seem to be inching away from their
man, undermining and diminishing the
president with a thousand tiny cuts.
Not even his strongest, alleged ally, Bill
Clinton, can stay on message. Of
course, Clinton has never really been
Obamas friend, despite his assertions
to the contrary.
Does Clinton think Obama has been
a good president? Of course not. He
thinks he was a good president and that
his wife would have been better than
Obama. In 2008, when Clinton infa-
mously dismissed Obamas imminent
primary victory in South Carolina by
noting that even Jesse Jackson had won
there, he was showing his true colors.
Translation: Obama won because he
was black, not because he was the best
candidate.
Clintons intended point that African-
Americans vaulted Obama over the bar
wasnt false. African-Americans consti-
tuted more than half of all South Car-
olina primary voters and 78 percent of
them voted for Obama. Even so, the
observation could have been left un-
said.
Recently, Clinton has expressed simi-
larly true observations that he might
have kept to himself. If, that is, he were
truly interested in helping Obama get
re-elected. In one television interview,
Clinton praised Romneys sterling
business record, the same one Obama
has been criticizing. In another, he said
the Bush tax cuts might as well be
extended since it isnt likely that a large
debt-reduction plan will be considered
until after the election. This wasnt
exactly an endorsement of the tax cuts,
but it wasnt precisely on the same page
as the president either.
In what is becoming a trend, the
Obama campaign moved swiftly to
explain and contain. In a cruel twist,
the narrative has emerged that Ol Bill
might be getting just a bit dotty. A
Politico story quoted Clinton associ-
ates who asserted that the former
president, while mentally sharp, is, you
know, well, getting older.
Hes 65 years old, said an unnamed
adviser, as though that explains every-
thing. Sixty-five is hardly teetering on
the brink of senility.
The fact that Obamas surrogates
cant stick to the script might be the
best barometer of his perilous incum-
bency. In the political jungle, where
people tend to be more Darwinian than
divine, he is wounded and the pack is
beginning to turn. Former Pennsylvania
Gov. Ed Rendell, who could be a hockey
mom if he wore lipstick, recently told
ABCs Charlie Rose in so many words
that Hillary Clinton would have been a
better president.
Romney was nearly destroyed by his
own team because he was perceived as
weak, a likely loser. Beware, Mr. Presi-
dent. The dogs of war have been let
loose, and theyre not all on the other
side.
COMMENTARY
K A T H L E E N P A R K E R
Lets face it:
Nobody likes
to back a loser
Kathleen Parkers email address is kathleen-
parker@washpost.com.
THE FEDERAL gov-
ernment must spend
more money to main-
tain, repair and build
the roads, bridges,
power grid and other
infrastructure that
support the economy.
Yes, put it on the credit card. These
are basic investments in the countrys
future and the working lives of gener-
ations that will put them to productive
use. Prepare for better times ahead.
Everyone is looking over their shoul-
der, ducking debris from the explosion
of the housing bubble, but grossly in-
flated inventories are diminishing. Prices
are settling into a new normal. Defaults
are easing and household debt is being
paid down. A measure of financial so-
briety returned.
Job numbers are still scary. Unemploy-
ment nudged up in May, and hinted at a
slowdown. But not without surprises,
especially in manufacturing. America is
building cars again.
Put the construction sector back to
work on public projects. If one can ig-
nore the asinine behavior of Donald
Trump and the birthers, and other tacti-
cally motivated prattle is President
Obama a socialist? there are threads of
agreement.
Even Libertarian Ron Paul supports
spending on infrastructure. Republican
Mitt Romney has no readily discernible
opinion, as usual, though he seems
partial to more military spending.
A divided Congress refuses to budge
on putting people to work. Republicans
are in pure gridlock mode. Befitting a
complete lack of interest in responsible
governance, the obfuscating GOP rheto-
ric is about cutting debt and ever-lower
taxes.
The ready lesson for America goes
back to the Great Depression, and the
infusion of cash and imagination that
fueled a recovery and decades of growth.
The Pacific Northwest benefits from
and brags about its low-cost, green hy-
dro power. Ask all those closet socialists
in Eastern Washington about the trans-
formation with public investments in
rural electrification, water, irrigation,
roads and schools. The tax benefits,
subsidies and write-offs continue today.
Grand Coulee Dam and the Columbia
Basin Project changed the region. Varia-
tions on those themes around the coun-
try helped the nation recover and pros-
per.
No one dictates what is carried across
those highways or what new technology
is powered with all that energy. Farm to
market is just as likely to be a path to a
port for delivery overseas.
Economist Robert H. Frank of Cornell
University observes a practical aspect of
timely investments. Saving money. In a
The New York Times column, Frank
notes the American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials
reports substandard roads cause $335 in
annual vehicle damage per vehicle on
the road.
Infrastructure investment is basic for
government, Frank told me in a tele-
phone call. No one expects private in-
dustry to step in and do the work, he
said. The money comes from the public
purse.
Put people to work building the in-
frastructure for a better tomorrow. Wag-
es go right back into the economy. The
velocity of those dollars is enormous.
The money is spent on shelter, food,
transportation, health care, education
and other basics.
Spending money to save and make
money is hardly a foreign concept to
household budgets. The same basic
thinking applies to the false economy of
slashing social-service budgets in tough
times. Ideologically driven austerity on
unemployment insurance, public health
and housing and mental-health care only
cause other government and social costs
to soar. Think emergency room visits,
street crime, law enforcement and jail
costs.
Invest tax dollars in infrastructure,
and track the immediate help to the
economy and the predictable long-term
benefits. Keep America competitive by
having a country that functions.

PHILADELPHIAAnthony Paradiso had attended his last political event more than four
decades ago. But there he was, in line three hours early for a glimpse of Michelle Obama.
Shes a motivator, said Paradiso, who went to the rally just two days after hed been dis-
charged from a hospital after surgery. His last event: a Hubert Humphrey rally in 1968.
Its that kind of appeal that President Barack Obamas re-election campaign loves, hoping
the popular political spouse can rekindle some of the 2008 spark among Democrats and inde-
pendents for a contest thats looking more difficult by the day.
This journey is going to be long and it is going to be
hard, the first lady said, delivering a feisty stump
speechtomorethan1,000supporters andcampaignvol-
unteers who were jammed into the National Constitu-
tion Center. But just remember, thats how change al-
ways happens in this country. And if we keep showing
up, if wekeepfightingthegoodfight, theneventuallywe
get there.
Obama has been politically active on her husbands
behalf for more than a year, raising money at nearly 60
fundraisers and conducting conference calls with key
groups of supporters, including women and African-
Americans. Shes also a pop culture phenomenon, mak-
ing a guest appearance on the Nickelodeon TV show
iCarly to thank military families for their service and
engaginginatug-of-war withcomedianJimmyFallonto
promote her Lets Move initiative.
But as the campaign heats up, shell be deployed to
headline more large rallies like the ones last week in
Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Next to the president himself, and maybe including
the president, shes our most in-demand surrogate,
campaign adviser David Axelrod said.
She is both tremendously popular and
very effective on the stump, because
she speaks in a heartfelt way about
(the president), and what motivates
him, thethings that hes doneandthe
things that he wants to do.
The campaignwill have to
compete with her No. 1
priority the couples
two daughters but as
much time as she will
give, Axelrod said, the
campaign will want
her out there.
Polls consistently
find Michelle Obama
at or near the top of
the list of the most
popular political fig-
ures inthecountry. She
outscores her husband
by double digits: Her fa-
vorability rating was 63
percent in an April poll by
the Marist College Institute
for Public Opinion, while President Barack Obama was
at 50 percent.
We believe in him, but her support really seals it,
said Gloria Pelzer, a retired Bucks County schoolteach-
er whovolunteeredfor Obama in2008 andplans tosign

First ladies are often more popular than their hus-
bands, perhaps because of the non-combative nature of
the position.
Laura Bushcampaignedfor congressional candidates
across the countryfor former President George W. Bush
in 2006, a time when his popularity was flagging. First
lady Hillary Clinton campaigned extensively in 1998,
preferred by fellow Democrats at a time when her hus-
band faced impeachment.
Political strategists note that a popular spouse often
canhumanizea candidate, animportant factor for Presi-

Michelle Obama who dispenses giant bear hugs
with aplomb and has stood for hours surprising tourists

appears anything but reserved. She dishes family

WASHINGTON- TheU.S. Capi-
tol, one of the nations most cher-
ished monuments to democracy,
could become a symbol of the sor-
ry state of Uncle Sams check-
book.
So warn architect and engineer-
ing groups in response to pro-
posed budget cuts for the Capi-
tols maintenance, including the
first major face-lift of the iconic
dome in more than 50 years.
The U.S. Capitol is not merely
Congress work space; it is also an
attraction for millions of visitors
from around the world, a shining
example of Americanarchitecture
- and home to priceless works of
art - and a potential target for
those who wish to do us harm,
the American Institute of Archi-
tects, American Society of Civil
Engineers and other groups said
in a letter this week to congres-
sional leaders.
Delaying or canceling needed
improvements will maketheCapi-
tol complex less safe, harm the
functioning of Congress and en-
danger our countrys cultural heri-
tage, they added.
A House-approved $7.5 million
cut to this years $36 million bud-
get for operations and mainte-
nance of the Capitol threatens to
stop work on a multimillion-dol-
lar dome-restoration project.
The Architect of the Capitol,
which is making $19 million in re-
pairs tothe lower part of the dome
this year, requested an additional
$61 million for the next phase of
work, including fixing cracks, re-
placing or repairing decorative
pieces, resealing it and repainting
it. Of concern are water leaks in-
side the structure.
Members of NACE Internation-
al, formerly the National Associ-
ationof CorrosionEngineers, who
took a tour of the Capitol earlier
this year, note on their website
that the Architect of the Capitol
has foundwater to be the enemy
of the Capitol dome.
Water infiltrates the dome
through pin holes in the Statue of
Freedom, the base of the Cupola,
and the balustrade, the group
noted.
Thecast-irondome, completed
in 1863, underwent its last major
renovation in 1959 and 1960.
Id rather the dome remain a
monument to our nations great-
ness than become a symbol for
shortsighted austerity, Rep.
NormDicks of Washington state,
the top Democrat on the House
Appropriations Committee, said
during the recent debate on the
spending bill.
The Senate still must act.
Through a spokesman, Sen. Ben
Nelson, D-Neb., who chairs the
appropriations subcommittee
that oversees the Architect of the
Capitol budget, made no com-
mitment on funding. But the
spokesman said the senator has
been lobbied by every entity
whose budget is under the com-
mittees jurisdiction, including
the architects andengineers and
is working to hold down govern-
ment spending while funding
needed priorities.
The architects and engineers
said that deferring maintenance
would lead to higher taxpayer
costs as defects worsen and re-
pair costs rise due to inflation. As
any homeowner knows, delaying
neededrepairs only costs more in
the long run.
Scaffolding was put in place on
the dome last fall; it is covered by
a white scrim to allow the scaf-
folding to blend in with the build-
ing. Renovation of the Capitol
dome skirt will be completedthis
fall, with the scaffolding sched-
uled to come down before con-
structionbegins onthe stands for
Januarys presidential inaugura-
tion.
Budget cuts next victim?
Maybe U.S. Capitol dome

Editorial
Many of these young people
have already contributed to our
country in significant ways.
Janet Napolitano
The Homeland Security secretary last week
described a policy change in which the Obama
administration will stop deporting and begin granting work permits to
younger illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children
and have since led law-abiding lives.
ROB RUBICKused to play
pro football. He took a lot of
hits. He is 51 now, and says
he has a hard time focusing.
If I head to the refrigerator
and somebody stops me to
talk for 10 seconds, he says,
I end up sitting back on the couch. I forget
what I was up for.
Like a lot of former NFL players, Rubick
wonders what the payback will be for years of
head-jarring contact. He forgets phone num-
bers before he finishes dialing. At least twice a
day he finds himself blanking out on what he
was doing. He sees an elderly father who is
starting to misremember things, but hes in
his 80s. Im too young for this.
Earlier this month, a lawsuit was filed con-
solidating scores of complaints from former
players who claim the NFL didnt warn them
enough of the potential dangers of concus-
sions.
Rubick, who says he was not part of the
suit, understands their issues. He played tight
end for seven seasons with the Lions, from
1982-88, and remembers at least six document-
ed concussions he suffered in his career. To-
day, if a player has six concussions, he almost
certainly is retired.
Rubick played on.
It was always memory loss, he says. I
would lose 36 hours of my life. Id come off the
field and see my parents, and Id say, Hey,
when did you guys get here? And theyd say,
Rob, weve been staying at your apartment for
the last day and a half.
The brain is an amazing, awe-inspiring
thing. It is also delicate. Slamming it into the
turf even protected by a helmet and a crani-
um cannot be healthy.
But the damage caused is a matter of de-
bate. We still are learning about howtruly
dangerous concussions are. Most newevi-
dence suggests we never took themseriously
enough. This is why you see tighter rules on
helmet-to-helmet hits, and more caution before
a player returns to action.
But that is now. What about back then?
Does the league have a responsibility to for-
mer players who were pushed back out after
the birdies stopped chirping?
The players lawsuit says, in part: The NFL,
like the sport of boxing, was aware of the
health risks associated with repetitive blows
producing sub-concussive and concussive
results. ...
Despite its knowledge ... the NFL turned a
blind eye to the risk.
The league, of course, denies culpability and
says it does all it can to keep the sport safe.
But more and more players are discovering
stumbles in their day-to-day life that might
well be traced to the pounding they took.
Headaches. Dementia.
One preseason game, I was on punt cov-
erage, Rubick recalls, and I take five steps
and I dont see this guy and he earholes me,
side of my head. Just flattens me. Im dizzy. I
walk to the sidelines. And Darryl Rogers was
the coach. He said, Are you all right? I said, I
think so. And he said, Well, get off the field;
the game is starting. I had no idea where the
time went. I was just standing out there in
front of him, like a deer in the headlights.
Rubick, who was born in Newberry, Mich.,
and who attended Grand Valley State Uni-
versity, teaches at Lapeer West High School.
He also does a little broadcasting for TV and
radio. Lest anyone think playing in the NFL is
some golden ticket, Rubick says his entire
income for seven years in the league was
$750,000.
He is not alone. Plenty of players from the
80s, 70s and earlier never made enough mon-
ey to live off of once football was over. And
many nowcannot afford the medical coverage
required for issues that are popping up.
Rubick and others feel the NFL should at
least make concessions for the health care
costs of retired players. The dispute is certain
to land in the courts.
Meanwhile, when you talk to guys like
Rubick, you hear fear. They wonder what lies
ahead. I try and joke with my kids about it,
but they dont think its funny, Rubick says.
They are gladiators in their 20s, veterans in
their 30s, retired in their 40s and worried in
their 50s.
I ask Rubick if he had it to do all over again,
would he play in the NFL?
Ask me in 20 years, he says. If Im still
here, Id say yes. If not ...
You knowwhat they call that?
The other side of glory.
Former players paying price for years of concussions

COMMENTARY
M I T C H A L B O M
Plenty of players from the 80s, 70s and
earlier never made enough money to live
off of once football was over. And many
now cannot afford the medical coverage
required for issues that are popping up.
THE CONSOLIDATED
Omnibus Budget Recon-
ciliation Act (COBRA)
gave working families
whose breadwinners were
about to lose their jobs or
whose children no longer
were full-time students the ability to pur-
chase and for a time continue the health
insurance coverage provided under their
employers group health plans.
It was the brainchild of U.S. Sen. Ted
Kennedy who, as I wrote on Aug. 30, 2009
(five days after his death): had the rad-
ical idea that people who lost their jobs
should not lose their health care. He be-
lieved your children should not automat-
ically lose their health insurance simply
because they were no longer full-time
students. His idea was slipped into Title
X of the 1985 Consolidated Omnibus Bud-
get Reconciliation Act. You call it CO-
BRA.
His proposal was roundly criticized and
called liberal.
Kennedys legislation gave every Amer-
ican family the right to COBRA their
kids upon graduation from college the
trigger removing them from their parents
insurance. Moms and dads had to pay out
of their own pockets but kept their chil-
dren insured until they could find affor-
dable health care on their own. It was a
first step.
Kennedy convinced President Ronald
Reagan to sign it into law on April 7, 1986.
It has helped millions of American fam-
ilies. No one calls it liberal anymore.
Maybe this week, maybe next, the U.S.
Supreme Court will announce its decision
on the fate of President Obamas Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act of
2010.
Many people believe the meaningful
health insurance reforms included in
Obamacare are in danger of being oblit-
erated by our very conservative Supreme
Court. Almost a quarter century since
COBRA, the new common-sense provi-
sions contained in the Affordable Care Act
hang in the balance.
At stake is the provision allowing young
adults to remain on their parents plans
until they obtain affordable health insur-
ance on their own or turn 26 years of age.
More than 7 million young Americans
would be affected.
Also in jeopardy is language prohibiting
insurance companies from dropping a
persons coverage because of a pre-exist-
ing condition; the prohibition against
dollar limits on the care of your family
members; the prohibition against drop-
ping someones coverage because they are
ill, and many more.
With exemptions for financial hardship
and religious beliefs, the law also imposes
a $95 penalty, beginning in 2014, on those
refusing to buy some manner of health
insurance. Its the individual mandate,
which Republicans invented to whack
freeloaders, that causes everyones pre-
miums to increase. When Obama included
their idea in his bill, they hauled it and
him off to court.
Common-sense provisions reforming
Americas health insurance industry per-
meate the law. Individually, the provisions
of Obamacare are overwhelmingly sup-
ported by the American people. Allowing
young adults to remain on their parents
insurance plans until they find affordable
insurance is supported by 70 percent of
us.
That working families need no longer
spend several hundred dollars a month to
COBRA them equates to one of the largest
tax cuts working families ever have re-
ceived. Yet in this hyper-political age the
crazies on the far right are willing to risk
it all before the court of final disposition.
For the rest of us, the decision of the
Supreme Court will be real life, real law
and really important. It will affect our
children, our grandchildren and their
families for decades to come.
The nine justices have several options
and might act at any moment. They can
uphold the constitutionality of the statute
in its entirety, strike down significant
parts of it or, having done so, determine
that what little remains cannot stand
alone and declare it all null and void.
Philosophically speaking, there are a
couple Ted Kennedys on the Supreme
Court. We can only hope there are a few
Reagans as well.
Will High Court see justice in Affordable Care Act?

HE DAMAGE DONE
to Luzerne County as
a result of the corrupt
actions of some
wealthypals at thecenter of the
kids-for-cash scandal will last
for generations. Too bad the
millions in restitution money
intended to benefit area chil-
dren wont last but a couple of
years.
About $2.16 million will be
divvied among 17 organiza-
tions, accordingtothe Pennsyl-
vania Commission
on Crime and De-
linquencys an-
nouncement Fri-
day.
Rather than cre-
ate a novel program
to help county
youths or establish
a permanent endowment fund,
capable of generating grants
year after year to aid various
youth projects, it appears the
whole sum will be gone in a
flash. Thats a disappointment.
Not to imply the agencies re-
ceiving these windfalls are not
deserving of support; they
most definitely are. Nor to sug-
gest the money wont do some
good, it could.
But most of the cash seems
destinedto be usedfor staff sal-
aries, supplies and short-term
efforts of not more than two
years. For instance, grant mon-
ey will be targeted for these us-
es: Backpacks stocked with
items for homeless children. A
program to develop childrens
social skills. Summer camp
scholarships.
Considering the crimes that
ledtothese payouts, the resolu-
tion seems wholly uninspired,
unsatisfactory and unlikely to
reshape the social landscape
for at-risk children being raised
in this county.
The grant money dubbed
Mericle money comes from
real estate developer Robert
Mericle, who agreed to estab-
lish a fund as part of his 2009
guilty plea.
Mericle, of Jackson Town-
ship, failed to report his knowl-
edge that two
Luzerne Coun-
ty judges con-
cealed big
bucks he had
paid them for
helping him se-
cure the con-
tracts to build
two privately owned juvenile
detention centers. One of the
judges had ordered closed the
Luzerne County-owned juve-
nile center, saying it was unfit
despite state approval for its
continued operation.
Mericle has yet to be sen-
tenced for his role. Three other
men former judges Mark A.
Ciavarella Jr., Michael T. Cona-
hanandattorneyRobert Powell
are serving prison sentences.
Distributing the Mericle
money is a task that fell to the
Pennsylvania Commission on
Crime and Delinquency be-
cause the federal court desig-
nated it so. The deed is now
done.
Perhaps we expected too
much. Perhaps, after all that
had happened, we hoped for a
real miracle.
OUR OPINION: RESTITUTION
Shortsighted use
of Mericle money
Considering the
crimes that led to
these payouts, the
resolution seems

QUOTE OF THE DAY
A
PROPOSALrecently
passed by the Senate
Education Commit-
tee that would allow
immediate state takeover of
four distressed school districts
Chester-Upland, Duquesne,
Harrisburg and York could
be interpreted as the state tak-
ing last-ditch responsibility for
the educational lives of stu-
dents.
We fear the reality, though,
makes this move more akin to
the Mad Hatter in Alice in
Wonderland. The madness
goes like this: keep cutting
funding to public schools, and
make sure the lions share of
those cuts fall on the poorest
districts. Then, when those
districts fall into crisis, come
in and take them over, wield-
ing unilateral power over con-
tracts, school composition,
leadership and funding.
Some might call it starve a
school, feed a fever, the fever
being some lawmakers drive
to dismantle public schools in
favor of private and charter op-
erators. Andwhile we embrace
school alternatives such as
charters, were leery of the
wholesale transfer of one sys-
temto another, especially with
no public or parental input.
The concept of state take-
over of schools is not inherent-
lybad; infact, intheearlyyears
of Philadelphias state take-
over in 2001, the state helped
by increasing the districts
funding. But both the city and
the state should be asking:
What impact has the state
takeover had in the long term?
What measures is the state us-
ing to determine whether this
is an effective option?
The other fact that should
be considered is what the four
districts in question have in
common: the most distressed
districts are also the poorest.
And the cuts that the state has
made in the past few years
nearly$1billioninthe last bud-
get have hurt poorer districts
far more than richer districts.
This funding pattern, and the
new takeover proposal, raises
concerns that the state is not
only creating a new ghetto of
the poorest students but also,
in the process, creating a mul-
ti-tiered education system
well-funded for the rich, less-
funded for the poor.

Voter ID mandate
has no downside
S
ometimes I think that I
must live on another plan-
et. The use of photo identi-
fication to help stem voter
fraud is really a no-brainer.
To eliminate a problem,
according to state Rep. Phyllis
Mundy, there must first be a
problem. She sees no problem
around here and, I assume,
anywhere else in the country.
If we follow that logic, then
a bank should be robbed be-
fore preventive measures are
put in place.
You might ask this: Why has
there been no evidence of
voter fraud in Pennsylvania?
The answer is simple. Who is
going to report it those who
initiate it, carry it out or are
the beneficiaries of it and
hope to remain in office?
Voter fraud is rampant
throughout the country and
Luzerne County has had its
share. Several years ago, some
people were convicted of voter
fraud in Luzerne County.
Dead people have been voting
in Chicago since Al Capone
was around. The use of voter
ID will at least keep this from
happening.
How could anyone who
wants clean elections be
against ensuring the people
who vote are, in fact, the peo-
ple who vote. This is not rock-
et science.
Why would anyone think a
Justice Department that
would take no action against
Black Panthers who intimi-
dated voters in Philadelphia
with clubs would even in-
vestigate cemetery voting or
absentee fraud, especially if it
favors them?
Obtaining voter IDs surely
cannot be that costly. Senior
citizens fly, drive, travel to
foreign countries all of
which require photo ID. If a
senior citizen or any citizen
can get to the polls, they can
get an ID.
Simple solutions for funding
the voter ID program would
be to: initiate term limits (get
the word career out from in
front of politician), reduce
the number of people serving
in the state Legislature (one of
the largest in the nation),
eliminate the use of taxpayer-
funded cars (including gas,
maintenance), stop per diem
payments to state representa-
tives for travel to and from
Harrisburg, reduce salaries
and eliminate pensions for
representatives (this was
never meant to be a career).
Theres the $4.3 million easily!
We would then get back to
citizen legislatures and elim-
inate career politicians who
drain millions of our tax dol-
lars.
We have a bad record in
Pennsylvania for violations of
trust on just about every level
of government, so it is not
much of a stretch to be suspi-
cious as to whether votes are
cast or counted accurately.

Writer supports
consumption tax
I
ncome tax is outdated and
grossly unfair to those of us
who earn an income.
As I see it, a consumption
tax would render income tax
irrelevant. It wouldnt matter
how much you earned. Work-
ing under the table would be
an obsolete phrase.
It would be altogether dif-
ferent than a flat tax. And it
should be considered at every
level of government. Your
take-home pay would certainly
be bigger and youd control
how much tax you pay by how
much you buy (consume). If
you buy a 50 cent pack of
gum, you pay. You buy a $50
million yacht, you pay.
Somebody with a higher
pay grade than me would need
to work out the details, but its
something for us to consider.
The pimps, drug dealers,
prostitutes, deadbeats, income
tax evaders, the frauds, the
rich and poor all would pay a
consumption tax. What could
be fairer than that?
One obvious drawback
would be that it would send
income tax preparers packing.
Sorry guys and gals!

Vote for Kaufer,
not the incumbent
I
am writing because I be-
lieve state Rep. Phyllis Mun-
dy has been in office way
too long, and I believe Aaron
Kaufer is the best candidate to
represent Pennsylvania.
Mundys foolish stances on
property taxes are among the
many reasons she must go.
She will not support HB1776,
which would eliminate school
property taxes.
Can you imagine not having
to pay your school property
tax bill anymore? The bill
replaces it with a broadened
sales tax and income tax that
would barely be noticed by
anyone.
It is unfair to only pick on
those who own property to
pay for public schools. The tax
shift would make everyone
pay, whether you own or rent
your home.
It is interesting also that all
the gambling money was
supposed to go to property tax
relief, and homeowners have
seen next to nothing. Maybe
$40 or so. This is a joke, and
Phyllis has not spoken up on
this issue.
Let us get behind Aaron
Kaufer for state representa-
tive.

Arsenal credited
for design work
O
n the eve of the 1976 presi-
dential election, Fritz
Mondale, while boarding
a plane in Philadelphia, said,
If the Carter/Mondale team
is elected, Frankford Arsenal
(in Northeast Philadelphia)
will stay open.
Frankford closed in June of
1977, changing the lives of
thousands of families. More
than 100 families moved into
the Poconos.
The motive for the closure
was unclear. It was, most
likely, the fact that of the clo-
sure candidates, Frankford
was the only one without a
golf course.
The closure was not caused
by a lack of talent or lead-
ership. Frankfords team can
take credit for the following:
digital map data that was
produced by the Army Map
Service to build three-dimen-
sional maps before being ex-
ploited and incorporated into
the AN/TPQ-29 Counter-
Mortar Radar to automatically
detect terrain intersections.
The concept was extended to
the cruise missile, which, in
conjunction with its radar,
flies terrain-following mis-
sions. Last, but not least, map
data and associated satellites
provide the military and us
with global positioning sys-
tems (GPS).
Frankford developed, fielded
and supported (hardware and
software) the first-ever militar-
ized digital computer (FA-
DAC). Its design was well
ahead of its time, allowing it
to stay in service for 28 years.
It developed the first laser
rangefinder and was key to
providing propellant- actuated
devices, used to blow off air-
craft canopies that saved the
lives of countless pilots.
This June marks the 35th
anniversary of Frankfords
closing, but the work of its
people lives on.

MITT Rom-
ney vs. Barack
Obama is not
exactly Jef-
ferson-Adams
or Lincoln-
Douglas. No
Harry Tru-
man or Bill Clinton here, let
alone FDR or Reagan. Indeed,
its arguable that neither party
is fielding its strongest candi-
date. Hillary Clinton would run
far better than Obama. True,
her secretaryship of state
might not remotely qualify as
Kissingerian or Achesonian,
but shes not Obama. She car-
ries none of his economic bag-
gage. Shes unsullied by the
last three and a half years.
Similarly, the Republican
bench had several candidates
stronger than Romney, but
they chose not to run. Indeed,
one measure of the weakness
of the two finalists is this: The
more each disappears from
view, the better he fares. Oba-
ma prospered when he was
below radar during the Repub-
lican primaries. Now that
theyre over and hes back out
front, his fortunes have reced-
ed.
He is constantly on the cam-
paign trail. His frantic fundrais-
ing 160 events to date al-
ternates with swing-state ral-
lies where the long-gone cha-
risma of 2008 has been
replaced by systematic special-
interest pandering, from cut-
rate loans for indentured stu-
dents to free contraceptives for
women (the denial of which
constitutes a war on same).
Then came the rush of bad
news: terrible May unemploy-
ment numbers, a crushing
Democratic defeat in Wiscon-
sin, and that curious revolt of
the surrogates, as Bill Clinton,
Deval Patrick and Cory Booker
all dispatched to promote
Obama ended up contradict-
ing, undermining or deploring
Obamas anti-business attacks
on Romney.
Obamas instinctive re-
sponse? Get back out on the
air. Call an impromptu Friday
news conference. And proceed
to commit the gaffe of the year:
The private sector is doing
fine.
This didnt just expose Oba-
ma to precisely the out-of-
touchness charge he is trying
to hang on Romney. It betrayed
his core political philosophy.
Obama was trying to attribute
high unemployment to a pauc-
ity of government workers and
to suggest that the solution
was to pad the public rolls. In
doing so, though, he fatally
undid his many previous pro-
testations of being a fiscally
prudent government cutter.
He thus positioned himself
as, once again, the big-govern-
ment liberal of 2009, convinced
that what the ailing economy
needs is yet another bout of
government expansion.
But thats not the end of the
tribulations that provoked a
front-page Washington Post
story beginning: Is it time for
Democrats to panic? The
sleeper issue is the cascade of
White House leaks that have
exposed significant details of
the cyberattacks on Iran, the
drone war against al-Qaida, the
double-agent in Yemen and the
Osama bin Laden raid and its
aftermath.
This is not leak-business as
usual. I have never seen it
worse, said Democratic Sen.
Dianne Feinstein, 11 years on
the Intelligence Committee.
Feinstein herself stated that
these exposures were endan-
gering American lives, weak-
ening U.S. security and poison-
ing relations with other in-
telligence services.
Quite an indictment. Where
it goes, no one knows. Much
will hinge on whether Eric
Holders Justice Department
will stifle the investigation he
has now handed over to two
in-house prosecutors. And
whether Republicans and prin-
cipled Democrats will insist on
a genuinely independent in-
quiry.
Nonetheless, there is noth-
ing inexorable about the cur-
rent Obama slide. The race
remains 50-50. Republican
demoralization after a primary
campaign that blew the politi-
cal equivalent of a seven-run
lead has now given way to
Democratic demoralization at
the squandering of their sub-
sequent post-primary advan-
tage.
What remains is a solid,
stolid, gaffe-prone challenger
for whom conservatism is a
second language versus an
incumbent with a record he
cannot run on and signature
policies Obamacare, the
stimulus, cap-and-trade he
dare hardly mention.
A quite dispiriting spectacle.
And more than a bit confusing.
Why, just last week the estima-
ble Jeb Bush averred that the
Republican Party had become
so rigidly right-wing that today
it couldnt even nominate Ro-
nald Reagan.
Huh? It just nominated Mitt
Romney who lives a good 14
nautical miles to the left of
Ronald Reagan.
Goodness. Four more
months of this campaign and
we will all be unhinged.
Spare us the spectacle
of the 2012 campaign

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Don Carey and
words by Mark E. Jones
AS THE Su-
preme Court
prepares to
announce its
decision on
the individual
mandate
provision of
the Affordable Care Act or
Obamacare it is important
to understand how this central
tenet of the health care plan
came into being.
The individual mandate is a
Republican idea, originally
proposed by conservatives in
Congress in the mid-1990s as
an alternative to Bill Clintons
single-payer plan for uni-
versal health care. The single-
payer concept, a Medicare for
all proposal, the dream of
liberals since the days of FDR,
would effectively remove insur-
ance companies as the middle-
man in the American health
care system.
Republicans proposed the
individual mandate to keep the
health insurance monopoly
intact. In fact, the individual
mandate is a gravy train to
insurance giants. Everyone
would have to purchase insur-
ance. (Duh.)
Barack Obama, if you re-
member, distinguished himself
from Hillary Clinton in the
2008 presidential primary
elections by saying that we
could attain universal health
care by reforming, not replac-
ing, the private health insurer
system. Clinton and most pro-
gressives argued the opposite,
that only a single-payer system
could provide health care for
all Americans.
After Obamas election, and
without the help of his most
important supporter in the U.S.
Senate, the late Sen. Ted Ken-
nedy, the president embarked
on his health care negotiations
with the unenviable task of
securing 60 votes in the Senate
for passage. Considering that
Medicare was passed by 51
votes in 1965, a monumental
task at the time, the misuse of
the filibuster rule by modern
Republicans in the U.S. Senate
is obvious. (And disgraceful.)
In order to get the health
care package through a Senate
controlled by corporate lap
dogs, Obama was forced to
concede to the insurance and
pharmaceutical companies and
caved on what was important
to progressives, a public op-
tion to compete with the in-
surance monopoly.
The corporate oligarchy
could not have been happier.
They knew they were the real
winners no matter what hap-
pened. Remember how insur-
ance company stocks soared
the day after Obamacare was
passed?
Last week, the prince of
corporate oligarchs, Stephen
Hemsley, CEO of UnitedHealth
Group Inc., the nations largest
insurer, promised to keep
many of the provisions of Oba-
macare even if the individual
mandate is overturned by the
court.
Hemsley, the former CEO of
disgraced accounting firm
Arthur Anderson (Enrons
accountants) made $101.96
million in 2010, and in 2011 he
was named the highest paid
CEO by Forbes (in case you are
wondering where your premi-
ums are going). This years
compensation was estimated
by Forbes at $48.8 million.
Gee, even in a slow year he can
be magnanimous. What a guy.
Despite the rhetoric of the
regressive right, Obamacare
already has made significant
improvements that have
helped more than 80 million
Americans. It is about the
health of America, not just
health care in America, says
House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi.
The individual mandate,
oddly, does bring us together.
Both liberals and conservatives
hate it.
Conservatives want the man-
date overturned, even though
it is their idea and would en-
rich insurance companies,
because it would hurt Obamas
re-election chances. Thats all
they care about. And liberals
want it overturned because it
would make a single-payer
system the only constitutional
answer to our incredibly sick
system, which funnels billions
into insurance company profits
and away from the health of
the American public.
While nobody knows how
the Supreme Court has ruled,
an oddsmaker would have to
favor overturning the individu-
al mandate. This conservative
court has proved in two previ-
ous rulings that it takes its
politics to heart.
First, it gave George Bush
the presidency in 2000. Sec-
ond, in 2009, its Citizens Unit-
ed decision reversed more than
a century of legal precedent,
ruling that corporations are
people and thereby allowing
the massive infusion of corpo-
rate money into our politics.
The individual mandate is
this courts third strike at poli-
tics. And it might be Obama
who is out.
Will politics prevail in health care ruling?
JOHN WATSON
C O M M E N T A R Y
John Watson is the former editor of
the Sunday Dispatch in Pittston. He
lives in Seattle.
Despite the rhetoric of the
regressive right, Obamacare
already has made significant
improvements that have helped
more than 80 million
Americans.
IN1933, when President Franklin D.
Roosevelt signed the very first farm
bill, formally called the Agricultural
Adjustment Act, he told the nation that
an unprecedented condition calls for
the trial of new means to rescue agri-
culture. That legislation, passed as the
country struggled to emerge from the
Depression, was visionary in the way it
employed agricultural policy to address
significant national issues, including
rural poverty and hunger.
It might not seem obvious while
standing in the aisles of a modern
grocery store, but the country today
faces another food and farming crisis.
Forty-six million people that is, one
out of seven Americans signed up for
food stamps in 2012. Despite some of
the highest commodity prices in histo-
ry, the nations rural regions are falling
deeper into poverty. In 2010, according
to the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
17.8 percent of those living in rural
counties fell under the poverty line.
Unemployment in Fresno County,
Calif., the nations top agricultural
producing county, stood at 17.4 percent
in March of this year. Industrial agricul-
ture has become a leading cause of soil
and water pollution. In California, for
example, fertilizer and manure pollu-
tion have so contaminated the Salinas
and lower San Joaquin valleys that the
groundwater will be undrinkable for
the next 30 to 50 years.
After 80 years, the time has come to
rescue agriculture from the farm bill
and to improve the health of Amer-
icans in the bargain.
Numerous food access and health
care advocates, family farm organiza-
tions, sustainable agriculture nonprof-
its, celebrity chefs and even local gov-
ernments (including Seattle, New York
and Los Angeles) have entered the fray
and are calling for reform as Congress
works to draft legislation to replace the
2008 farm bill, which expires at the end
of September. But the U.S. Senates
first draft of the omnibus legislation
which will be debated over the next
few weeks falls short.
The draft legislation makes it clear
that the farm bill remains in the control
of powerful agribusiness interests and
anti-hunger advocates whose thinking
is rooted in the last century.
Throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s,
the farm bill provided incentives for
farmers to get big or get out, usher-
ing in our contemporary industrial
system of food production. Resulting
harm to the environment, human
health and rural communities was
largely ignored. Unfortunately, current
farm bill proposals would continue to
disproportionately favor huge oper-
ators who have blanketed the land with
monocultures.
This years farm bill will allocate
somewhere in the range of $100 billion
a year, enough money to target such
challenges as the obesity epidemic,
water pollution, the loss of soil and
biodiversity, and the need to usher in a
new generation of farmers, ranchers
and land stewards. But that would
require at least four fundamental shifts.
Supporting food, not feed. Crop
subsidies and federal insurance should
be aimed at the foods humans should
eat. Currently, the lions share of sub-
sidies goes to commodity crops used to
feed livestock or to produce ethanol or
overly processed foods. A shift in what
is subsidized should be accompanied
by changes to the Supplemental Nutri-
tion Assistance Program to include
incentive programs for fruit and vegeta-
ble purchases that would help Amer-
icans avoid diet-related disease. Cali-
fornias Department of Food and Agri-
culture, working with nonprofits, has
proved these programs can work. Shift-
ing federal dollars from commodities to
nutritious foods could save the nation
trillions of dollars in health costs in the
decades ahead.
Focusing on safeguarding the land.
As with the original farm bill, govern-
ment investments in agriculture should
promote conservation and good stew-
ardship. Currently, the farm law can
meet only 40 percent of requests from
California farmers and ranchers seek-
ing cost-share dollars for projects to
protect water quality, soil health and
endangered species. These are invest-
ments that benefit us all. The new
legislation should shift billions of dol-
lars from subsidies and insurance dis-
counts to conservation programs.
Adding labor to the equation. The
farm bill desperately needs a labor
policy. Some 6 million farmworkers do
the backbreaking work of putting food
on Americas tables, yet there is no
portion of the 1,000-page farm bill that
explicitly addresses their need for
protection from exploitation. Immigra-
tion policy has to be part of the dis-
cussion too, since an estimated half of
the nations agricultural workers are
undocumented immigrants.
Increasing research. The farm bill
is the nations largest source of funding
for agriculture and food research, and
at present that is insufficient. This
portion of the bill should be greatly
expanded with an emphasis on helping
food producers and businesses discover
and implement solutions to climate
change, water scarcity, species degra-
dation, hunger and obesity. If the pub-
lic wont pay for research that serves us
all, large corporations will pay for re-
search that serves only them. At that
point, we are in danger of losing con-
trol of our food system. Todays con-
centrated ownership of seed patents
justifies this concern.
Every five years or so, the farm bills
renewal presents a tremendous oppor-
tunity. In the past, we have often
squandered the chance to use it to
prepare for a world with more people,
less oil, an unpredictable climate and
numerous resource challenges. This
time, lets get it right.
America needs a farm bill that sustains agriculture and Americans

Thanks extended
for a fine Fiesta
T
he 57th annual Fine Arts
Fiesta, an arts festival with
the theme Our Town
Arts Town, has come and
gone. Over four sun-filled days
our neighbors from Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania and beyond
participated with us on Public
Square, Wilkes-Barre, and
celebrated the arts, culture
and many talents of our area.
Also presented was the artist-
ry of 63 people from around
the country exhibiting and
selling their works in the
artists market.
We cannot begin without
thanking the City of Wilkes-
Barre, with the leadership of
Mayor Tom Leighton, and so
many city employees for Fies-
tas success this year. Our
many guests felt welcome to
walk and mingle with family
and friends while visiting
downtown. Our children were
safely entertained with a pup-
pet theater, strolling musi-
cians, make and takes and
face-painting on the portion of
Public Square closed to traffic.
Some downtown businesses
and restaurants opened their
doors, brought out tables with
umbrellas welcoming visitors
to leisurely stroll through
their stores, restaurants and
our downtown.
Numerous organizations
such as the Luzerne County
Historical Society, the Wyom-
ing Valley Art League, St.
Stephens Church, Osterhout
Free Library, Little Theatre
and the Deutsch Institute
and many high school musi-
cians and singing groups
showcased their books, maps,
artwork and talents much to
the delight of all who attend-
ed.
We thank all those who so
generously contributed, spon-
sored and volunteered for this
years Fiesta.
As Annette Evans and Al
Groh had envisioned 57 years
ago, the Fine Arts Fiesta gath-
ers people of all walks of life
together in peace and cre-
ativity in the heart of our city
to enjoy the visual and per-
forming arts free of charge.
Your correspondence and
contributions are always wel-
come.

GOPs tactics
are a nightmare
D
id you ever wake up from
a nightmare and pray that,
hopefully, thats just what
it was a nightmare? After a
few weeks of pre-election
rhetoric, it is hard to believe
that what we are hearing and
reading isnt just that.
We are facing four months
of horror if this atmosphere
prevails: character assassina-
tions, false accusations and
out-and-out lies. The Repub-
lican machine is at it, full
force, though I doubt that this
is the real, old-time, caring
Republican Party. Who are
these people and from where
do they come? Of course, we
have to go back to when the
president was elected. U.S.
Sen. Mitch McConnell stated
right then that the only thing
the GOP members of Con-
gress would do would be to
make sure he would be a one-
termer, and, boy, have they
tried.
Obama inherited a country
in the worst shape since the
Great Depression, and I
should know because I was
around then. He has tried and
tried to make things better for
us, but they have thwarted
just about everything he has
proposed. In spite of that, he
has done some great things,
such as rescuing the auto
industry.
The horror of some of the
things going on is unthink-
able. Republican governors
including much to our shame,
our own are trying to pre-
vent Americans from voting
not only a privilege, but an
obligation. Are they trying to
change our form of govern-
ment into a dictatorship, sort
of like a Third World country?
But even some of those coun-
tries are trying to become
democracies.
And now racism is rearing
its ugly head. The color of the
president should not matter;
he belongs to all of us: white,
black, brown, yellow, red, etc.
Another troubling thing is
that no one seems to want to
talk about the wars we are
involved in, the Bush legacy.
Even now, our troops are
being killed in those far-off
places. Every day the New
York Times publishes a list of
the dead, youngsters of 19, 20
and 22. Bring them home.
Stop Dick Cheneys Hallibur-
ton company from making
millions on the backs of
troops.
And dont forget the thou-
sands of veterans still in hospi-
tals or tying to have their
claims verified. We are not
treating them very well, and
as a veteran myself, from a
family of veterans, I deplore
the situation. After all the flag
waving and parades on Memo-
rial Day, do we go about our
lives, forgetting our heroes?
For shame!
I appeal to good, clear-
thinking citizens to sit up and
take notice before it is too late
to remedy a horrible situation.

Preserve integrity
of U.S. ballot box
W
e must take immediate
action to make sure our
votes actually count in
the most important election of
our lifetimes in November. We
know that Obama and his
team will do anything to get
him re-elected.
Integrity of election results
rests in the hands of individu-
al states; every state is re-
quired to do everything neces-
sary to preserve the integrity
of the ballot box. Faithfully
executing this sacred duty is
something on which all Amer-
icans should be able to agree.
This is America, and at the
end of the day, free, fair elec-
tions are our only hope.
Polls recently showed 75
percent of all likely voters,
including 63 percent of Demo-
crats, agree that voter ID laws
should be strictly enforced.
But there are some occupants
of certain statehouses who are
willing to take their marching
orders from Obama. They
even dusted off Bill Clinton
and pushed him in front of the
camera to declare that voter
ID policies are like Jim Crow
laws. Are we racists because
we want the law to be en-
forced properly? Are we bigots
for not trusting Obama?
Laws to put a stop to their
election fraud already are on
the books. I am tired of letting
the left play the race card to
take away our rights and tired
of letting them steal elections.
The states governors must do
their job, and we must do
ours.

Book: Owning Treasure
Publisher: Self-published
Authors: Joe and Laura Wilbur
The Wyoming Valley is rife with stories of

things that happened here in days long past,
but Joe Wilbur believes an incident that oc-
curred only 53 years ago, right in our back-
yard, deserves more attention.
I went toPittstonAreaand, oddlyenough,
it was just never taught, the 39-year-old said
of the deadly Knox
Mine disaster,
which happened on
Jan. 22, 1959, when
the River Slope
Mine flooded after
the management of
theKnoxCoal Com-
pany had miners il-
legally dig under-
neath the Susque-
hanna River.
I never had a
teacher sit and ex-
plain it to the class.
Infact, I dont evenknowhowI cameabout it
at first, but whenI didI couldnt stoplearning
about it. I wrote a story in middle school
basedonit. Itwasalwaysfascinatingtome, so
it just seemednatural that I set abookaround
an event that made national news in its day,
yet no one really talks or writes of it.
Joe and his wife, Laura, 40, recently pub-
lished Owning Treasure, a story set in Pitt-
ston and Rochester, N.Y., where Laura grew
up.
Ittellsthetaleof AntonioPagano, amanun-
der suspicion of a crime he did not commit.
The suspicion affects his life so much that he
decides to flee, and on the day of the Knox
Mine disaster, without even learning of what
happened. Fromtherehebuildshimself anew
lifeawayfromPittstonandreturnsonlywhen
the mighty Susquehanna once again upends
the lives of the townspeople. While back
home, Pagano attempts to mendbrokenrela-
tionships but cannot seem to get away from
thecrimethat drovehimout inthefirst place.
Eventually, his family comes to reveal just
what happened the day of the mine disaster.
Joe and Laura co-wrote the book, with Joe

We kind of joke about it because while we

The ratings are in, and the
American Idol franchise is
officially in trouble. Viewers of
the season finale of the series
dropped by 32 percent from
last year, a fall that is part of an
overall steady decline in vie-
wershipsince its series peakin
2003. Back then, the Idol
season was an event, but now
its just another show. The
gleam is gone.
As a result, many commen-
ters are wondering whether
this marks the end of the run.
Probably not, as its still a rat-
ings winner in the scheme of
things. But it may mean that
executive producer Simon
Fuller and his team will be
looking for ways to bring re-
newed excitement to a series
thats struggling to climb out
of a rut. Below are a few sug-
gestions to get the Idol buzz
back.
1. Open the field to all differ-
ent kinds of vocalists. Whichis
to say, add young rappers into
the mix. If its fair to pit a pop
vocalist such as Jessica San-
chez against a singer-song-
writer like Phillip Phillips,
whyis it suchastretchtothink
that would-be MCs couldnt
rank? Quality is quality,
whether crooned, screamedor
rhymed. If this is a pop-music
competition, its ridiculous to
exclude one of the most im-
portant creative engines of the
genre. Who knows, maybe
well meet the next Kitty
Pryde, Kreayshawn or Riff
Raff.
2. Include vocal groups. Ev-
ery major label is looking for a
female vocal group in the TLC
and Destinys Child vein right
now, and with the rise of boy
groups the Wanted and One
Direction, all signs point to a
return of packs of singing
hunks. Lets manufacture
some group hype.
3. Fire all three judges and
replace them with Adam Le-
vine, Christina Aguilera, Cee

t 23, Lawrence Schiller was a
sports journalist starting to
carve a niche in the world of pho-
tojournalism. He also was tasked
with photographing the iconic
woman whose image had been
captured thousands of times be-
fore, and he was terrified.
How could I possibly come up with a
picture that would be as good or as close to
the pictures taken by so many great
photographers that had shot Marilyn
Monroe before?
The moments before Schiller, now
75, first met Monroe in 1960 on the set
of Lets Make Love are part of a tiny
tale among the collection of stories
centered on his photographing the ill-
fated actress, all of which he expounds
upon in his two recently released
books, Marilyn & Me: A Photogra-
phers Memories and Marilyn &
Me: A Memoir in Words and Photo-
graphs.
Schiller, who has worked for Life
and Newsweek magazines and The
Saturday Evening Post, among other
notable publications, will read from

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Do the most important
thing first. Once thats out
of the way, you can relax.
The relaxed you is more
effective because an easy-
going mindset helps you
resist getting caught up
in details that ultimately
wont matter.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Theres no mystery
involved in finding the
right person to spend time
with. Try a few people out.
If you like them, youll go
back for more. If not, youll
be on to the next. Its that
simple!
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
The pressure to find a
perfect partner is insane.
Also, its totally impossible
because love has nothing
to do with whats perfect.
Usually what connects
two people is frailty and
vulnerability.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
About now, you may
feel that the financial
part of your life needs
attention or even a
makeover. Making money
will be easiest when you
do what youre good at
and what youre naturally
drawn to do.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Structure is good for you
now. So dont worry about
whether a program, proj-
ect or job is exactly the
right one. If it keeps you
accountable to another
person, its probably going
to be good.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Youre not lost, and yet a
drifting feeling takes hold
with the accompanying
question: How will you find
your way in this world? A
new job or task brings the
answer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Some people are unable to
see things the way you see
them. That doesnt make
them dumb or wrong; it
just makes them differ-
ent from you. Today youll
learn a lot by being open
to those who are different
from you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Success is just as much
about resiliency as it is
about talent, hard work
and luck. Youll get to your
goal by falling and pick-
ing yourself up again and
again.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Dont focus on quali-
ties you lack. Play to
your strengths. You bring
a level of total involve-
ment and commitment to
everyday life that others
find fascinating and ultra-
attractive.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). The more responsi-
bility you have the more
people expect you to know
what youre doing. Youll
get many questions. You
dont have to answer just
because people are asking.
You have the right not to
comment.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Talk about yourself as if
youre already the person
you want to be, and youll
grow in that direction.
Also, this is a way of trying
on this potential you for
size and seeing how you
like the fit.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You dont expect people
to be what they are not.
Everyone is quirky. You
realize this and act accord-
ingly. People love you for
that. Youll be the most
nonjudgmental person on
your block.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (June
17). Because you see
obstacles as opportuni-
ties, youll land in a sweet,
elite arrangement. Youll
sell people on your plan in
July with a combination
of approaches. Instead of
making a formal presenta-
tion or an informal pitch,
do both. Invest in yourself
in August. A family mem-
bers victory in October is
your victory, too. Pisces
and Cancer people adore
you. Your lucky numbers
are: 9, 30, 16, 33 and 41.

DEAR ABBY
Salute to Dad is shared
by all on Fathers Day
Dear Abby:
Its Fathers
Day and
Id like to
salute one
particular
unsung hero
my dad. He was there for
me and my sister despite a
difficult workload through-
out our childhood. He has
always been generous with
love and affection, and I
have no doubt that he has
sacrificed things he wanted
personally for our benefit.
Dad has been the calming
voice during times of strife.
He can fix anything from a
broken washing machine to
a broken heart. He has not
only nurtured us, but our
children as well.
He has been our role
model when it comes to set-
ting an example of what a
man, husband, father and
grandfather should be. He
is never judgmental and has
always shown us the best in
ourselves. Hes consistent in
his love of God, country and
family. He is patient, kind,
generous and smart in ways I
only wish I could be.
To top it off, he found us
the best mother we could
have hoped for. They have
been married 58 years. My
unsung hero doesnt wear a
cape, but I do believe he has
certainly earned a halo.
Sharon in Brandon, Fla.
Dear Sharon: What a sweet
letter. Im printing it to hon-
or not only your father but
also the millions of men who
dedicate themselves daily to
raising their children with
love and support. In addi-
tion, Id like to extend a Hap-
py Fathers Day to fathers
everywhere not only birth
fathers but also stepfathers,
foster fathers and those car-
ing individuals who mentor
youngsters whose parents
are absent or deceased.
Bless you all.
Dear Abby: Will you please
help librarians across the
country clarify something
that is generally misrepre-
sented to the public?
Patrons who need assis-
tance operating a computer
MAY be able to get help at
their local library. Thats
may, not can. Too often,
people are instructed to go
to their library and use a
computer to file taxes, re-
deem a gift, print pictures,
etc. The fact is, not every
library has computers with
Internet access. Most do, but
not all.
Further, many libraries
lack sufficient staff to offer
one-on-one support to oper-
ate a computer. The reality
is, computers and the Inter-
net are not intuitive to those
who havent been exposed to
them and there are many.
While I dont know of a
librarian who wouldnt like
to offer unlimited assistance
to computer users, libraries
nationwide are losing staff
due to budget cuts. Its
frustrating to disappoint
patrons who expect to
receive instruction in com-
puter operation.
So, Abby, please spread
the word. Computers and
Internet services vary from
library to library. Readers
should ask their librar-
ian about what services
are available at their local
branch.
Concerned Citizen,
Easthampton, Mass.
Dear Concerned Citizen:
Thank you for shining a light
on this important subject.
Readers, if this letter is as
disturbing to you as it is to
me, write your congressional
representative and express
your concern. For lower- and
middle-income people of
every age, libraries perform
a vital function. Their bud-
gets must not be slashed to
the point that they can no
longer fulfill their mission of
informing and educating the
public.

Lo Green and Blake Shelton. As
a twist, the early rounds could
be blind by making the judg-
es/ coaches assess talent with
their backs to the singers.
4. Add in a choreography ele-
ment. Every Idol worth adora-
tionshouldbe able tonot only to
sing but dance. And considering
the success of Dancing With
the Stars, an Idol choreogra-
phy round could add some fuel.
It certainly would have made
Phillip Phillips victory to say
nothing of Kris Allens or Lee
DeWyzes less assured had
theyprovedunable toeffectively
bust a move.
5. Add a juggling component
to the dancing and singing.
Bring in some professional
clowns who can teach the young
vocalists the ins and outs of
keeping afloat flaming torches,
knives and bowling balls. Such a
move would balance the playing
field even further, because some
singers who can juggle arent ve-
ry good dancers, and some jug-
gling dancers can barely sing.
Imagine the thrill when Ameri-
ca finds the perfect juggling vo-
calist witha knackfor a littlesoft
shoe.
6. Change the name of the
show to American (White Guy
with Guitar) Idol.
7. KeepJennifer Lopez but fire
Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler
and Ryan Seacrest. Replace
them with Marc Anthony, Sean
Diddy Combs and Ben Af-
fleck.
8. Fire all three judges, then
string Ryan Seacrest along for a
fewmonths while floating to the
gossip sites the idea of firing
him, too. Change your mind and
commit to Seacrest, then bring
in Jay Leno as a judge. Fire him
at the last minute, and as a re-
placement hire Conan OBrien.
Then fire Seacrest and replace
him with Andy Richter.
9. Cancel the dang show al-
ready and replace it with a re-
boot of the classic 1970s reality
competition show Battle of the
Network Stars. Watch as Tina
Fey, AshtonKutcher, the casts of
The Mentalist and the NCIS
franchise, Ryan Seacrest and
others race through ridiculous
obstacle courses in tight shirts
and short shorts.
10. Keep Ryan Seacrest but
add as his sidekick a dancing
juggler who can sing if they
can ever find one. They dont
grow on trees, you know.

his works Thursday to cap off
Wilkes Universitys Maslow
Foundation Faculty Reading
Series, which starts tonight.
Schiller saw the many sides
of Monroe as he continued to
photograph her over the next
two years. He even had a brief
encounter with her the day be-
fore she died in August 1962.
His images are iconic them-
selves, some capturing the ac-
tress in various states of un-
dress, as well as moods, while
she filmed a pool scene for a
Somethings Got To Give.
Others depict Monroe in more
candid states, both on set and
off.
Schiller said he was able to
capture such photos because
he sharpened his anticipation
skills while shooting sports.
Marilyn understood what
the purpose of the pictures
was going to be, that different
magazines wanted different
expressions and feelings, he
said. She was very smart in
that regard. She was giving
that variety, which the pho-
tographer also knows is need-
ed, and he has to have the
skill of anticipation to cap-
ture it.
Monroes ease in front of
Schillers camera was in stark
contrast to how she acted while
filmed for movies.
Theres no question that
she was very secure when she
posed for the still camera, but
very, very insecure and nerv-
ous when she acted for the mo-
tion-picture camera, Schiller
said. I may or may not be
right, but this is my theory: In
front of the motion-picture
camera she had to walk and
talk and be in a role at the same
time, while with the still cam-
era she doesnt have to talk;
she just has to imagine what
she wants to look like and pro-
ject that image. There are less
things going on in the brain
when you pose for a still cam-
era. I think that acting was ve-
ry difficult for her and posing
for still photographs was just
second nature.
Schiller said Monroe knew
how to turn it on, as evi-
denced in the photos he
snapped. One picture shows
Monroe hanging over the edge
of the pool, looking youthful
and childish, while the next de-
picts her bare back, sitting in
the water so just her backside
is covered.
The photographer wit-
nessed the actresss troubles
up close and personal.
She was fighting a lot of de-
mons, struggling with the stu-
dios to get paid more money.
She was truly a woman on a
battlefield trying to be ac-
knowledged at that point. I
think there were a lot of things
going on in her mind, and I
think that it was a very difficult
period, and I just came into her
life at a time that she was using
her ultimate weapon, which
was her body.
Though Monroe capitalized
on her sexuality, Schiller be-
lieves she never did so in an of-
fensive way.
Women never, and still
dont, have any jealousy if their
husbands or boyfriends look at
a picture of her or back then at
the real Marilyn. She was a per-
son that, in a way, was really
lovable and huggable. Her sex-
uality was almost childish in a
way, almost like a grown-up ba-
by. There was something about
her that everybody wanted to
save. I dont think you could
think of anything in the nega-
tive when you think of Marilyn
Monroe, which has allowed
her to endure.

Imagine the story of the Na-
tivity recast as a Hollywood
blockbuster a sword-and-
sandals epic loaded with expen-
sive computer-generated ef-
fects, a disfigured, lecherous
villain and enough hacked-off
limbs, severed heads and stom-
ach-turning disembowlings to
give even Quentin Tarantino
pause and youll have a solid
idea of what to expect in Unho-
ly Night, the new novel from
mash-up king Seth Grahame-
Smith.
With his novels
Pride and Prejudice
and Zombies and
Abraham Lincoln:
Vampire Hunter,
Grahame-Smith
carved out a unique
literary niche for
himself, populariz-
ing the genre mash-
up movement and
bringing a refresh-
ing zaniness to historical fic-
tion. For his latest, he channels
his imagination in a similarly
quirky fashion, this time follow-
ing a master thief as he journeys
fromcelebrated outlawto reluc-
tant bodyguard for the newborn
Messiah.
As leading men go, Balthazar
is a perfectly compelling antihe-
ro, an ancient Syrian Han Solo
type with a tragic past whos de-
termined to settle an old score.
As the story opens, Balthazars
outsized reputation as the
famed thief known as the Anti-
och Ghost might finally be
catching up to him, with a bat-
talion of Judean soldiers on his
tail and the beaten-down camel
hes stolen as a getaway vehicle
on its very last legs.
Sure enough, hes soon cap-
tured, but an unexpected en-
counter with two fellow law-
breakers sets the stage for a
grand escape in which they dis-
guise themselves as you
guessed it wise men, narrow-
ly avoiding the death sentence
imposed by the sadistic King
Herod. How to describe Herod?
Think Joaquin Phoenix in
Gladiator (just as one-dimen-
sionally Evil) but withered and
covered with boils.
Their flight to safety takes
them to Bethlehem, where an
otherworldly star has illuminat-
ed the sky. In a stable hide-out,
they discover a frightened
young couple who believe their
blue-eyed infant is the son of
God. An avowed cynic, Baltha-
zar dismisses their implausible
claim, but he cant quite bring
himself to abandon the family
to the bloodthirsty
squadrons who in-
vade the town on He-
rods orders. Not
when soldiers are
slaughtering inno-
cent women and chil-
dren in the streets.
Grahame-Smith is
a clever, enjoyably
commercial writer
who brought a sur-
prising amount of
complexity and depth to Abra-
ham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Here, hes scripted a fast-paced,
rollicking adventure, but with
every increasingly mind-blow-
ing set piece, every revelation
about the traumatic incident
that so deeply wounded Baltha-
zar, every leeringly arched eye-
brow and depraved scheme that
Herod hatches, the novel be-
gins to feel too, well, scripted.
There are moments of real hu-
mor and warmth and pathos,
but too many of the characters,
exchanges and story beats are
disappointingly familiar.
Perhaps his storys cinematic
future proved too great an influ-
ence: His new novel reads like a
big-budget summer movie, un-
relentingly violent and enter-
taining enough in a grandiose,
popcorn kind of way. But de-
spite having some larger things
to say about one man struggling
to come to terms with his faith,
it never quite manages to move
beyond its action-flick tropes.
Unholy Night another
tale for the big screen
Unholy Night by Seth Grahame-
Smith; Grand Central ($24.99)
By GINA MCINTYRE
Los Angeles Times
O
ne of the best legal thriller
writers in the business un-
leashes another stellar ef-
fort with The Conviction.
Lawyer David Sloane nev-
er loses. His approach and commitment
to his cases have consistently delivered
positive results for his clients. But his job
has caused a rift in his family and nowhis
son, Jake, is in trouble. Jake blames his
father for the death of his mother, and the
teen begins to act out through alcoholic
binges and petty crimes. Sloane tries to
help, but Jake seems to be a lost cause.
Sloane takes Jake on a camping trip,
hoping to heal their relationship. That
night, Jake and another boy are caught
vandalizing a store. The judge overseeing
their case orders them to spend six
months in a boot camp. Sloane arrives in
the courtroom after the sentencing. Its
too late to say goodbye to his son.
The horror is just beginning, not only
for Sloane but also for Jake. The deten-
tion center has its own set of rules, and
some of the boys who dont fit in end up
dead.
The Conviction not only examines
the dynamics of the father-son relation-
ship, but also the pros and cons of priv-
atization of the justice system. While
Jake suffers the harsh reality of a facility
worse than a federal penitentiary, Sloane
discovers he cannot win.
The names JohnGrishamandScott Tu-
row are mentioned when discussing the
legal thriller genre. Robert Dugoni is as
good, if not better.

HICAGOIt maybeknownas theWindyCity,
but cash need not go flying from your pockets
when you visit Chicago. From the shores of
Lake Michigan to the sidewalks along the Mag-
nificent Mile, you can find outdoor family fun along with
historyandculture without spendinga cent. Here are five
free things to do.
The Mile
A walk along the Magnificent
Mile is a great, free way to take in
Chicagos history and architec-
ture. Start at the bridge over the
Chicago River on Michigan Ave-
nue and walk 13 blocks north to
Oak Street. Check out the histor-
ic bridge towers and take in the
view of two of Chicagos most fa-
mous skyscrapers, the Wrigley
Building and Tribune Tower.
Dozens of stones fromaroundthe
world are embedded in the Tri-
bune Tower, from places ranging
from the Alamo to Egypts Great
Pyramid to the Arc de Triomphe
in Paris.
The Chicago Water Tower,
near thenorthernendof theMag-
nificent Mile, nowserves as a city
visitors center, but its also a his-
toric landmark as one of the few
buildings to survive the Great
Chicago Fire of 1871.
The mile is also home to 460
stores (some of the ritziest in the
country), 275 restaurants, 23,000
hotel rooms in 60 hotels and five
museums.
The pier
Chicagos nearly century-old
Navy Pier has transformedfroma
military training facility to a des-
tination for 8.6 million visitors a
year. The stretch of pier that juts
into Lake Michigan features
shopping, dining, theater and is
the departure point for boat rides
and cruises. The pier is home to
the Chicago Shakespeare Theat-
re, Chicago Childrens Museum,
an IMAX movie theater and a
150-foot tall Ferris wheel.
Navy Pier is alsotourist central
for Chicago, with bicycle rentals
for lake parks and paths; a carou-
sel and Segway tours; boutiques,
carts and stores filled with souve-
nirs; and dining at popular chain
restaurants as well as local favor-
ites.
The parks
Chicagoans consider Grant
Park and Millennium Park the
citys front yard. The parks com-
prise hundreds of acres along
southern Michigan Avenue filled
with gardens, public art and
views of the city and Lake Michi-
gan. Grant Park is home to the
iconic BuckinghamFountain and
hosts summer food and music
festivals. It offers easy access to
The Art Institute of Chicago,
Adler Planetarium, the Field Mu-
seum and the Shedd Aquarium.
Most afternoons Millennium
Park is filled with children
splashing at Crown Fountain or
tourists snapping pictures of
Cloud Gate the reflective,
shiny statue more widely known
as The Bean. Crowds gather
under the crisscrossed canopy at
Pritzker Pavilion on summer eve-
nings to hear music and in winter
for an ice rink.
The lakefront
Looking to swim, bicycle, run,
rollerblade, play volleyball or go
sailing? Head to Chicagos Lake
Michigan shoreline.
The Chicago Park District
maintains 26 miles of lakefront
property. Beaches are free, open
late May to early September,
with lifeguards on duty11a.m. to
7 p.m. Among the most popular
of Chicagos nearly two dozen
beaches are Oak Street Beach
and Ohio Street Beach near
downtown.
Ten harbors also dot the Lake
Michigan coast in Chicago with
accommodations for about 6,000
boats. Cyclists, runners and rol-
lerbladers will appreciate the La-
kefront Trail, which runs paved
for 18 miles fromHollywood Ave-
nue on the North Side to 71st
Street on the South Side. The
trail offers parks, beaches, gar-
dens and statues.
The zoo
Families flock to the 49-acre
Lincoln Park Zoo a few miles
north of downtown Chicago. Its
one of just a handful of free zoos
in the country, home to 200 spe-
cies, from outdoor exhibits of ti-
gers, monkeys and sea lions, to
indoor pavilions for birds, pen-
guins and reptiles. Theres also a
childrens zoo and an African-
themedsectionwithdwarf croco-
diles, pygmy hippos, meerkats
and warthogs.
Be a free spirit in Chicago
No-charge activities are
bountiful around the city
