AURORA, Colo. The shoot-
ing suspect who went on a dead-
ly rampage inside a Colorado
theater planned the attack with
calculation and deliberation,
police said Saturday, receiving
deliveries for months which au-
thorities believe armed him for
battle and were used to rig his
apartment with dozens of
bombs.
Authorities on Saturday re-
moved dangerous explosive ma-
terials from inside James
Holmes suburban Denver apart-
ment a day after police said he
opened fire and set off gas can-
isters in a suburban theater min-
utes into the premiere of the Bat-
man film The Dark Knight Ris-
es. The attack left 12 people
dead and 58 injured.
His apartment was rigged
with jars of liquids, explosives
and chemicals that were booby
trapped to kill whoever entered
it, Aurora Police Chief Dan
Oates said, noting it likely would
have been one of his officers.
All hazards have been re-
moved from Holmes apartment
and residents in surrounding
buildings can return home, po-
lice said.
The exception was Holmes
apartment building, where au-
thorities were still collecting evi-
dence. Inside the apartment, au-
thorities began covering the
windows with black plastic to
prevent onlookers from seeing
in. Before they did, a man in an
ATF T-shirt could be seen mea-

The trauma hasnt ended for Jeanette
Line, her daughter Elizabeth or the 194
other families still living in government-
issued trailers 10 months after Septem-
bers flooding.
Jeanette Line said so outside the mo-
bile home in Tunkhannock Township
where she is living temporarily.
Its like Dorothy says in the Wizard of
Oz; Theres no place like home, she
said. Its like limbo here. Youre not
home.
Line and her daughter are one of 195
Pennsylvania households affected by
Tropical Storm Lee living in trailers pro-
vided by the Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency. In Luzerne County, 113
households were placed in trailers. Twen-
ty-nine have moved out, leaving 84 trail-
ers still occupied in the county.
Inside the trailer that Jeanette and El-
izabeth share, a sign hangs above the tele-
vision one of the few personal posses-
sions she was able to save as the knee-
deep water rushed under her home last
summer. Tis a wonderful life, it reads.

Jim Brozena worries thou-
sands of Luzerne County proper-
ty owners have no idea theyre
about to get hit with a pricey
floodinsurance bill andconstruc-
tion restrictions on their land.
New federal flood maps that
take effect Nov. 2 will add an esti-
mated 10,000 Luzerne County
properties to a high-risk flood
zone, requiring
the owners to
comply with
tougher build-
ing regulations
and purchase
flood insurance
if they have out-
standing mort-
gages.
The Federal
Emergency
Management
Agency sent let-
ters to all mu-
nicipalities in
2009 saying
municipalities
must reach
out to citizens affected by the
map changes and inform them
of the potential flood insurance
implications.
Brozena, executive director of
the county Flood Protection Au-
thority, followed up with a letter
to all municipalities reiterating
that notification requirement in
2010.
But officials in several munici-
palities say theyre still trying to
decipher whichproperties will be
added and removed because the
old maps are too vague.
Others held off on contacting
property owners until FEMA
sent official notificationMay2es-
tablishing the Nov. 2 implemen-
tation date.

WRIGHT TWP. When
you ask Estella B. Rupp her
secret to a long life, she cred-
its faith and family.
She also has had a life filled
with a lot of a hard work and
much laughter.
Rupp, who turned 105 on
Wednesday, celebrated her
birthday on Saturday, greet-
ing some 90 well-wishers at a
party in her honor at the Cha-
let Restaurant.
"Mother was the original
single parent," said daughter
Jane Okonieski, 86, remem-
bering both tears and laugh-
ter, challenges and success.
Rupps life was filled with
work, but by all accounts,
that work was a labor of love.
She was a housekeeper and
"much more" to the Lanning
family of Berwick. Many
members of that family were
at the party to laud her hard
work and her ability to "go
above and beyond" her duties
during her 53 years of ser-
vice.
Jim Zeart, a member of the
Lanning family, said Rupp
was "like a grandmother" to
him, having known him all
his life.
Rupps three children: Oko-
nieski, 86, Richard Rupp, 83,
and Mildred Hughes, 80, all
said their mothers perseve-
rance and humor were the ba-
sis for their own success.
Rupp also has eight grand-
children, 18 great-grandchil-
dren, and 11 great-great-
grandchildren.
Rupp has attended the
United Church of Christ in
Nescopeck for more than 100
years, and was honored by the
church in April. She attends
on a regular basis, hardly ever
missing a Sunday service.
"I believe that God gave
mother these extra years be-
cause she took such good
care of others, now its her
time to relax and enjoy her-
self," said Okonieski.
Her mother especially en-
joys spending time doing
word puzzles.
Rupp never smoke or
drank, because "there wasnt
time for that type of stuff,"
and has relied on the Bible
and good morals to guide her.
Friend Ella Eyer, 83, said
Rupp was "always pleasant
and never criticized others."
Doris Clewell, 84, remem-
bers her as "always laughing"
and having a good time, espe-
cially at picnics.
In his remarks to attendees,
Pastor Rick Dennison of Unit-
ed Church of Christ thanked
God for grace shown "to her
and through her."
Rupp, who has celebrated
her birthday with a party
since she was 80, said each
party pumps her up for the
upcoming year.
When asked to comment on
her birthday, a smiling Rupp
said she is looking forward to
"many more."

The Wilkes-Barre NAACP says
it will send a busload of resi-
dents to the Fight for Freedom/
Protest against the Voter ID
Law rally in Harrisburg this
week.
The rally will be held Tuesday
on the state Capitol steps.
Were expecting to show
some visible support on Tues-
day, said NAACP President Ro-
nald L. Felton.
Opponents of the law are con-
cerned about the potential it has
to prevent registered voters from
casting ballots in Novembers
election due to the requirement
to possess photo identification.
A recent Los Angeles Times
analysis estimated that 758,939
Pennsylvanians do not have li-
censes to drive, which is the
most common form of photo ID.
It is unknown how many have
other forms of acceptable IDs.
We should be outraged that
(Pennsylvania) may not be able
to vote like it did in 2008, Fel-
ton said.
Felton said the law has the po-
tential to suppress Americans
rights at the same time the U.S.
military is fighting to protect
rights in other countries.
Felton will also be present for
a Wednesday hearing in Com-
monwealth Court for a lawsuit
the ACLU of Pennsylvania filed
against the legislation.
Between five and 10 bus seats
will be available to anyone inter-
ested in attending the rally. It is
a free event and the bus departs
around 9:30 a.m. Refreshments
and snacks will be available.
On Friday, Secretary of the
Commonwealth Carol Aichele
announced the creation of a new
card that can be issued to voters
who need photo identification
under Pennsylvanias voter ID
law.
The Department of State vot-
er cards, which will be issued by
PennDOT, will be available to
registered voters who are not
able to provide all of the docu-
ments they would normally
need to obtain a photo ID from
PennDOT, such as a birth certif-
icate.
As we work to ensure that
Pennsylvanians have the identifi-
cation they need to vote this fall,
this new card will provide anoth-
er photo ID option for voters,
Aichele said.
The new voter photo identifi-
cation cards are scheduled to be
available at PennDOT driver li-
cense centers beginning the last
week of August.

proceeds can fluctuate between
$30,000 and $70,000 depending
on the weather.
Jennifer Tigue, of Clifford,
said she returns to her home-
town every year for the parade
and carnival.
Mymomlives here. I grewup
in this town. Our tradition is we
go to the parade and then the
picnic and then the fireworks,
Tigue said as she and her twin
sons, Joshua and Joel, 4, sat on
the curb across the street from
the fire company waiting for the
parade to begin.
The boys favorite thing about
the parade is seeing and hearing
the fire trucks and getting the
candy.
I just like to see that theyre
happy, Tigue said of the twins.
Margie Timlin, of Avoca, and
DURYEA Adults applauded
and children stood mesmerized
when they werent scampering
for candy tossed from some of
the 40-plus fire and rescue vehi-
cles that paraded down Foote
Avenue with sirens blaring and
air horns honking Saturday af-
ternoon.
Thirty-two fire departments
participated in Germania Hose
Co.s Annual Firemans Parade,
said Patrick Wall, parade chair-
man for the past 10 years.
Wall said about 60 depart-
ments usually participate in the
parade, but rain led organizers
to reschedule it from Friday and
about half the departments
could not attend Saturday.
Wall hopes the weather and
changes to the schedule of
events didnt significantly hurt
turnout for the companys five-
day carnival, which is held next
to the hose company at 430
Foote Ave.
Normally, the carnival begins
on a Wednesday, draws people
in on a Friday with the parade
and culminates with fireworks
on a Sunday. But this year, the
carnival company wasnt availa-
ble Sunday, so the event ran
Tuesday through Saturday.
This is our biggest fundraiser
all year. We greatly depend on
it, said Wall, who estimated
Mike Kohet, of Duryea, sat next
to one another in lawn chairs
along Foote Street also waiting
for the parade. Timlin has been
attending for about 10 years and
Kohet for about 20.
I like to see the different fire
trucks. They come from all
over, Kohet said.
Timlin said she was excited
about seeing her 6-year-old
granddaughter, Tina VanWert,
lead the parade with the Duryea
Wildcats midget football team
cheerleaders. She also appre-
ciates the opportunity to see old
friends at the carnival.
Wall said the family atmo-
sphere and homemade food that
people rave about make the
carnival popular. And you can
come here and see all your old
friends, he said.

SUMMARY
HARRISBURG
Turnpike tolls headed
for a hike in 2013
The Pennsylvania Turnpike
Commission has approved a toll
hike for next year.
The commission says the
increase means rates will be
going up 10 percent for cash-
paying customers and 2-percent
for those who pay with E-ZPass.
The agency says the hike will
result in a toll-revenue growth of
3 percent.
Chief Executive Officer Roger
E. Nutt says in a statement that
the increase will generate reve-
nue needed to satisfy a $450
million funding obligation to the
state.
Officials say that the increase
means E-ZPass customers will
now be saving 25 percent, which
is up from the 17 percent savings
they see now.
The new go rates into effect
on Jan. 6.

Closing arguments set
in murder trial
Closing arguments are expect-
ed next week in the trial of an
eastern Pennsylvania man in a
shooting death that he says was
sparked by a misunderstanding
and fueled by alcohol and jeal-
ousy.
Thirty-two-year-old Jose Cruz
Jr. of Whitehall Township took
the stand in his own defense
Friday in his first-degree murder
trial in Lehigh County Court in
the June 2011 shooting death of
45-year-old Edwin Jimenez-
Gonzalez of Allentown.
Cruz said he returned home
after a night of heavy drinking
and heard his girlfriend tell
someone she loved him. He said
she later told him it was her
brother, but he stormed out and
beat her. She fled, and he went
to her mothers house, where he
shot Jimenez-Gonzalez, the
mothers boyfriend. He said he
fired after the victim choked
him.

that Romney will be able to ride a
continued wave of voter dissatis-

I think the 2010 election was a
half-time report cardonthe Presi-

2010 the American people began
to speak on how they felt. They
feel things have not gotten better
since 2010 and they feel its time
for something else.
Barletta noted Romney ap-
peared to be closing in on Obama
in several recent polls.
I think hes doing well; hes
staying on message, Barletta
said. Hes talking about jobs and
the economy, and the President
doesnt want to talk about the

WILKES-BARRE TWP. A man who
dubs himself a leading authority on judi-
cial corruption came to a place some
would argue is the epitome of judicial cor-
ruption to interview a woman who has
been the face of corruption victims.
Bill Windsor, a 63-year-old Georgian
who claims to have been the victim of a
corrupt judge himself, brought his docu-
mentary film venture to a room in the
HamptonInnFriday, videotapingtestimo-
ny by seven area people who claim they
are victims of corrupt public officials.
The avuncular Windsor is on a 143-day
tour of all 50 states taking such testimo-
nies, with plans to edit it all into a movie
titledLawless America. At 5p.m. Friday,
with pizza boxes on the bed and a root
beer bottle on the dresser, he sat down to
record Sandy Fonzo.
Fonzo gained national fame following
the February 2011, conviction of former
Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella in
the so-calledkids for cash scandal, a mo-
niker he was flatly rejecting on the cour-
thouse steps after the verdict when Fonzo
screamed her contention that Ciavarellas
mishandling of her sons case as a juvenile
led to his suicide.

He attributes the local growth
to the "door-to-door" ministries

ing early Friday in Colorado
serves as an example of what can
happen, he said.
"Its a sign of the times," An-
drews said.
The Jehovahs Witnesses ask
people to analyze daily lives and
learn to appreciate Bible teach-
ings, Andrews said. Their mess-
age is resonating with more and
more people who see a need to
become more religious.
The event included "plays and
demonstrations" along with mo-
tivational speeches, he said. One
play showed ways married peo-
plecanrectifytheirissuesinstead
of giving up on their marriages,
he added.
Focusing on the heart is the
way to get the message through,
Andrews pointedout. If someone
puts their heart into a Christian

Scotidas thanked the adminis-
tration of the arena for allowing

The son of a man who proved a
bit of a lawbreaker himself
Windsor said his father wrote
jokes at the age of 16 for W.C.
Fields until his age was discov-
ered Windsor originally expect-
ed to get testimony from750 peo-
ple and now predicts at least
1,200.
He lapses effortlessly into sto-
ryteller mode, recounting a 15-
year-old who claimed abuse by
her father andwas ignoredbyoffi-
cials, a women who spent three
years in jail following two minor
traffic violations, and a man bea-
ten worse than Rodney King by
police.
Ive lost sight of what I would
say was the worst story, Windsor
said.
Despite flying below the radar
of most media, Windsor said the
number of people approaching
him at each stop has grown rap-
idly. He requires they write a
three-pagetestimony, primarily
to help organize their thoughts,
and usually spends 30 to 60 min-
utes with each.
His itinerary and instructions
on howto get in on his project are
available on the website
www.lawlessamerica.com.
He concedes this venture is
likely to lead to lawsuits, joking
there is a betting pool on how
many times Imgoingtobe sued.
Yet he notes that no one has
sued yet.
He also said he will check out
all the stories, andinvite those ac-
cused in the video to come for an
interview.
The 143-day deadline Friday
was day 38 was set so hell be
home before Election Day in No-
vember. He said he is an inde-
pendent candidate for U.S. repre-
sentative. Hes planning to pre-
sent the three-minute testimo-
nies to Congress. He has also
proposed changes in the law to
stop judicial corruption, begin-
ning with allowing anyone to re-
cord court proceedings.
Its been sad, exciting, mad-
dening and motivational, he
said. People told me Id get worn
out, but the experience has just
made me that much more com-
mitted.

tore through a vacant double
block at 72-74 Arch St. early
Saturday morning.
Wilkes-Barre Fire Investiga-
tor Capt. Alan Klapat was still
investigating the cause of the
fire Saturday.
The fire was first reported at
5:05 a.m., according to Assist-
ant Fire Chief Edward Snarski.
The first units arriving on scene
5 minutes later found the rear
of the three-story house en-
gulfed in flames. Since the
structure was unoccupied, fire-
fighters concentrated on sur-
rounding the blaze and extin-
guishing it from the outside,
Snarski said.
Smoke and fire damage was
extensive throughout the
house, burning off a portion of
the roof. An adjacent home also
suffered smoke and water dam-
age on one side, Snarski said.
About 20 city firefighters and
two paramedic units were
called in to extinguish the fire.
One firefighter suffered from
heat exhaustion as he fought
the fire, but was treated by pa-
ramedics on scene and released.
Firefighters were stalled in
their efforts temporarily around
5:30 a.m. when the driver of an
SUV ran over a 12-inch-thick
water hose that was extended
across the street, tearing one
section of the hose and damag-
ing the coupling on another sec-
tion. Snarski said the hoses cost
approximately $1,000 each.
Wilkes-Barre police stopped
the driver of the SUV. Police
said they could not release the
drivers name or charges
against the driver Saturday be-
cause investigating officers did
not finish their incident report
by the end of their shift. Police
said the report would be com-
pleted later Saturday night, but
the name was not available by
press time.
Firefighters were able to
bring the blaze under control
by 7 a.m. and the fire was de-
clared completely extinguished
at 9:55 a.m., Snarski said.
Snarski said the propertys
owner indicated that one of the
two apartment units inside may
have been recently vacated.
There was little furniture in-
side, and the building appeared
to be vacant, he added.
Snarski did not release the
owners name. Luzerne County
property records indicate the
building is owned by Stanley
Maciuska of Clifford, Susque-
hanna County. He could not be
reached for comment Saturday.

Air Force trainer gets jail
A
n Air Force instructor was sen-
tenced to 20 years in prison Sat-
urday, after being convicted of rape and
sexual assault in a sweeping sex scan-
dal that rocked one of the nations
busiest military training centers.
A military jury at Lackland Air Force
Base in San Antonio found Staff Sgt.
Luis Walker guilty Friday night on all
28 charges he faced, including rape,
aggravated sexual contact and multiple
counts of aggravated sexual assault. A
judge consolidated those charges Sat-
urday into 20, but that didnt affect
Walkers maximum sentence. He could
have received life in prison.
Walker is among 12 Lackland in-
structors investigated for sexual mis-
conduct toward at least 31 female trai-
nees. Six instructors have been
charged, on counts ranging from rape
to adultery, and Walker was the first to
stand trial. Walker also faced the most
serious charges of all those accused.

FREETOWN, SIERRA LEONE
Cholera sickens 3,800
Sierra Leones health ministry says a
cholera outbreak has sickened more
than 3,800 and killed 66 people since
January.
The ministry says it is very con-
cerned because the outbreak has start-
ed spreading fast and now also in-
cludes the West African nations dense-
ly populated capital.
It says the number of suspected
cholera cases in Freetown skyrocketed
within three weeks from three to 410,
resulting in nine deaths.
The statement, released late Friday,
said all measures to contain the out-
break will be taken.
If untreated, Cholera is a potentially
deadly disease whose symptoms con-
sist of rapid dehydration and vomiting
caused by bacteria found in contam-
inated water or food.
NEW YORK
Radical writer dies at 71
Radical, leftist writer Alexander
Cockburn has died at age 71.
Cockburns co-editor at the political
newsletter CounterPunch, Jeffrey St.
Clair, said the longtime columnist for
The Nation died Friday in Germany
after a two-year battle with cancer.
Cockburn was known for his crit-
icism of U.S. foreign policy, attacks on
Democrats for not being progressive
enough, and criticism of Israel for its
treatment of the Palestinians.
The editor and publisher of The
Nation, Katrina vanden Heuvel, called
Cockburn a provocative, polemical
and elegant writer.
Born in Scotland and raised in Ire-
land, Cockburn was the son of the
British novelist Claud Cockburn. In the
1970s and 80s he wrote for the Village
Voice. He also had a column for a time
in the Wall Street Journal.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti The
deadly earthquake that leveled Haitis
capital more than two years ago brought
a thread of hope: a promise of renewal.
With the United States taking the lead,
international donors pledged billions of
dollars to help the country build back
better, breaking its cycle of dependency.
But after the rubble was cleared and
the dead buried, what the quake laid
bare was the depth of Haitis dysfunc-
tion. Today, the fruits of an ambitious,
$1.8 billion U.S. reconstruction promise
are hard to find. Immediate, basic needs
for bottled water, temporary shelter and
medicine were the obvious priorities.
But projects fundamental to Haitis
transformation out of poverty, such as
permanent housing and electric plants in
the heavily hit capital of Port-au-Prince
have not taken off.
Critics say the U.S. effort to recon-
struct Haiti was flawed fromthe start.
While build back better was a comfort-
ing notion, there wasnt much of a foun-
dation to build upon. Haitis chronic
political instability and lack of coor-
dinated leadership between Haiti and
the U.S. meant crucial decisions about
construction projects were slowto be
approved. Red tape stalled those that
were.
The international communitys $10
billion effort was also hindered by its
pledge to get approval for projects from
the Haitian government. For more than a
year, then-President Rene Preval was, as
he later described it, paralyzed, while
his government was mostly
obliterated, with16,000
civil servants killed and
most ministries in ruins. It
wasnt until earlier this year
that a fully operational
government was in place to
sign paperwork, adopt
codes and write regula-
tions. Other delays in-
cluded challenges to con-
tracts, underestimates of
what needed to be done,
and land disputes.
Until now, comprehensive details
about who is receiving U.S. funds and
howthey are spending themhave not
been released. Contracts, budgets and a
300-itemspreadsheet obtained by The
Associated Press under a Freedomof
Information Act request show:
Of the $988 million spent so far, a
quarter went toward debt relief to un-
burden the hemispheres poorest nation
of repayments. But after Haitis loans
were paid off, the government began
borrowing again: $657 million so far,
largely for oil imports rather than devel-
opment projects.
Less than12 percent of the recon-
struction money sent to Haiti after the
earthquake has gone toward energy,
shelter, ports or other infrastructure. At
least a third, $329 million, went to pro-
jects that were awarded before the 2010
catastrophe and had little to do with the
recovery such as HIV/AIDS pro-
grams.
Half of the $1.8 billion the U.S. prom-
ised for rebuilding is still in the Treasury,
its disbursement stymied by an under-
staffed U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince in
the months after the quake
and by a Haitian government
that was barely functional for
more than a year.
Despite State Depart-
ment promises to keep spend-
ing public, some members of
Congress and watchdogs say
they arent getting detailed
information about howthe
millions are being spent, as
dozens of contractors working
for the U.S. government in
Haiti leave a complex money trail.
The challenges were absolutely huge
and although there was a huge amount
of money pledged, the structures were
not there for this to be done quickly,
said former U.S. Ambassador Brian
Curran. The concept of build back
better is a good one, but we were way
over-optimistic about the pace we could
do it.
The U.S. Special Coordinator for Haiti
Thomas C. Adams, who oversees USAID
spending in Haiti, says the first priority
in the days after the quake that killed
more than 300,000 was crisis manage-
ment, and the U.S. government spent
$1.3 billion on critical rescue operations,
saving untold lives.

LONDON Media mogul
Rupert Murdoch has resigned as
a director of a number of News
Corp. subsidiaryboards inBritain
and the United States, a spokes-
woman confirmed Saturday.
Murdoch stepped down this
past week as a director of NI
Group, Times Newspaper Hold-
ings and News
Corp. Invest-
ments in the
U.K., said Daisy
Dunlop, spo-
keswoman for
News Corp.s
British arm,
News Interna-
tional. The
companies oversee Britains
newspapers The Sun, The Times,
and The Sunday Times.
It was not immediately clear
which of News Corp.s U.S.
boards Murdoch had left. Bri-
tains Telegraph newspaper,
which first reported the news late
Saturday, said those details had
not yet been disclosed by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Com-
mission.
News International sought to
play down the significance of the
resignations, saying in a state-
ment that this is nothing more
than a corporate housecleaning
exercise prior to the company
split.
That was a reference to News
Corp.s announcement June 28
that it would separate its publish-
ing business from its much more
profitable media and entertain-
ment business forming two
distinct, publicly traded compa-
nies. Under those proposed
changes, Murdoch, 81, will chair
both of the companies, although
he would continue as chief exec-
utive of the media and entertain-
ment company only.
Saturdays announcement sug-
gests that Murdoch may be dis-
tancing himself from his British
newspaper interests, which have
beenshakentothe core bya wide-
spread phone hacking scandal.
The scandal erupted anew last
year when it emerged that Mur-
dochs now-defunct News of the
World tabloid had systematically
hacked voicemails of politicians
and celebrities.

BEIRUT Riding a wave of
momentum, Syrian rebels made
a run on Aleppo Saturday in
some of the fiercest fighting
seeninthecountrys largest city,
which has been a key bastion of
support for President Bashar
Assad over the course of the 17-
month-old uprising.
The rebels also took over a
third border crossing and the
second one along Syrias north-
eastern frontier with Iraq an-
other sign the regimes tight
grip on the country is wobbling.
The fighting in Aleppo comes
onthe heels of intense clashes in
the capital, Damascus, as rebel
forces target the pillars of re-
gime power in their attempts to
usher in what they hope will be
the end of Assads rule.
There were huge explosions
and the gunfire didnt stop for
several hours, Aleppo-basedac-
tivist Mohammad Saeed told
The Associated Press via Skype.
The uprising has finally reac-
hed Aleppo.
The city has remained largely
loyal to Assad and been spared
the kind of daily bloodshed that
has plagued other areas.
But Saeed said dozens of
fighters from the rag-tag Free
Syrian Army entered Aleppo
a commercial hub from the
countryside and were fighting
regime troops from inside.
It was the first sustainedfight-
ing in the city center.

advertised a DVD called Sol-
diers of Misfortune. The poster
showed several figures in vari-

some wearing masks.
Authorities wouldnt discuss
a motive for one of the deadliest
mass shootings in recent U.S.
history, as makeshift memorials
for the victims sprang up and
relatives began to publicly
mourn their loved ones.
Holmes had recently with-
drawn from a competitive grad-
uate programin neuroscience at
the University of Colorado-Den-
ver, where he was one of six stu-
dents at the school to get Na-
tional Institutes of Health grant
money. He recently took an in-
tense three-part, oral exam that
marks the end of the freshman
year of the four-year program
there, but university officials
would not say if he passed, cit-
ing privacy concerns.
In a resume posted on Mon-
ster.com, Holmes listed himself
as an aspiring scientist and
said he was looking for a job as a
laboratory technician.
The resume, first obtained by
The Press-Enterprise in River-
side, paints a picture of a bril-
liant young man brimming with
potential: He worked as a sum-
mer intern at the Salk Institute
for Biological Studies in La Jolla
in 2006 and mapped the neu-
rons of Zebra finches and stud-
ied the flight muscles of hum-
mingbirds while an undergradu-
ate at the University of Califor-
nia, Riverside. He also worked
as a summer camp counselor to
underprivileged children at a
Jewish camp in Los Angeles in
2008.
Still, neighbors and former
classmates in California said al-
though Holmes was whip-
smart, he was a loner who said
little and was easily forgotten
until this week.
Holmes apparently had pre-
pared the attack at the Aurora
theater well in advance, receiv-
ing multiple deliveries by mail
for four months to his home and
school and buying thousands of
rounds of ammunition on the In-
ternet, Oates said.
He had a high volume of de-
liveries, Oates said. We think
this explains how he got his
hands on the magazine, ammu-
nition, he said, as well as the
rigged explosives in his apart-
ment.
What were seeinghere is evi-
dence of some calculation and
deliberation, Oates added.
Federal authorities detonated
one small explosive and dis-
armed others inside Holmes
apartment after sending in a ro-
bot to take down a trip wire, FBI
Special agent James Yacone
said. Bomb technicians then
neutralized what he called a
hyperbolic mixture and an im-
provised explosive device con-
taining an unknown substance.
There also were multiple con-
tainers of accelerants, he said.
It was an extremely danger-
ous environment, Yacone said,
saying anyone who walked in
would have sustained signifi-
cant injuries or been killed.
Outside the apartment, police
arranged plastic storage boxes
and large white plastic bags,
possibly for evidence, although
no officials were available to
confirm the purpose of the con-
tainers.
Holmes, 24, was in solitary
confinement for his protection
at a county detention facility
Saturday, held without bond on
suspicion of multiple counts of
first-degree murder. He was set
for an initial hearing on Monday
and had been appointed a public
defender, authorities said.
Stories of the dead began to
emerge, including that of a 6-
year-old girl and a man who died
on his 27th birthday and a day
before his anniversary. Families
grieved and waited at hospitals,
which reported at least seven
wounded still in critical condi-
tion Saturday and others with
injuries that likely are perma-
nent.
Veronica Moser, 6, had gone
to the movies with her mother,
who was drifting in and out of
consciousness in a hospital in-
tensive care unit, bullets lodged
in her throat and a gunshot
wound to her abdomen.
Nobody can tell her about
it, Annie Dalton said of her
niece, Ashley Moser. She is in
critical condition, but all shes
asking about is her daughter.
Veronica had just started
swimming lessons on Tuesday,
Dalton said.
She was excited about life as
she should be. Shes a 6-year-old
girl, her great aunt said.
Another victim, 27-year-old
Matt McQuinn, was killed after
diving in front of his girlfriend
and her older brother to shield
them from the gunfire, said his
familys attorney, Rob Scott of
Dayton, Ohio.
Alex Sullivan had planned a
weekend of fun, first ringing in
his 27th birthday with friends at
the special midnight showing of
The Dark Knight Rises and
then celebrating his first wed-
ding anniversary on Sunday.
He was a very, very good
young man, said Sullivans un-
cle, Joe Loewenguth. He al-
ways had a smile, always made
you laugh. He had a little bit of
comic in him.
Oates said Holmes used a mil-
itary-style semi-automatic rifle,
a shotgun and a pistol to open
fire onthe unsuspecting theater-
goers. He had bought the weap-
ons at local gun stores within
the last twomonths. He recently
purchased 6,000 rounds of am-
munition over the Internet, the
chief said.
Holmes also bought an urban
assault vest, two magazine hold-
ers and a knife for just over $300
onJuly 2 fromanonline supplier
of tactical gear for police and
military personnel, according to
the company.
Chad Weinman, CEOof Tacti-
calGear.com, said his company
processes thousands of orders
each day, and there was nothing
unusual in the one that Holmes
placed.
Everything Mr. Holmes pur-
chased on July 2 is commercial-
ly available, Weinman said,
adding he was appalled that
the material was sold to Holmes
before the shooting.
The Batman movie, the last in
the trilogy starring Christian
Bale, opened worldwide Friday
with midnight showings in the
U.S. The Dark Knight Rises
earned $30.6 million in Friday
morning midnight screenings,
and, according to industry esti-
mates, roughly $75 to 77 million
on that day. That put it on track
for a weekend total of around
$165 million, which would be
the second-highest opening
weekend ever, following The
Avengers.
After buying a ticket to the
movie, Holmes went into the
theater and propped open an ex-
it door several minutes into the
film, a federal law enforcement
official said. The suspect then
returned in protective gear and
with high-powered weapons
and opened fire, shooting scores
of people and picking off victims
who tried to flee, officials said.
The shooting was the worst in
the U.S. since the Nov. 5, 2009,
attack at Fort Hood, Texas. An
Army psychiatrist was charged
with killing13 soldiers and civil-
ians and wounding more than
two dozen others.

NEW YORK In the after-
math of the Colorado shooting
during a screening of The Dark
Knight Rises, Hollywood stu-
dios banded together to with-
hold box-office reporting
through the weekend, while
Warner Bros. frantically rushed
to remove a movie trailer with
now eerie relevance.
While the weekend is usually
Hollywoods time to peddle its
flashy offerings and tout its
millions in box office, the sec-
ond day of release for The Dark
Knight Rises was anything but
business as usual following the
Aurora, Colo., shootings that
killed 12 and wounded 58 at a
Friday midnight showing of the
new Batman film.
Words cannot express the
horror that I feel, Christian
Bale, who stars as the caped
crusader in the film, said in a
statement.
All of the major studios in
Hollywood said Saturday they
were joining Dark Knight Ris-
es distributor Warner Bros. in
withholding their box-office
numbers for the weekend. Sony,
Fox, Disney, Paramount, Uni-
versal and Lionsgate followed
Warner Bros. lead in forgoing
the usual revenue report until
Monday out of respect for the
victims and their families.
Box-office tracking service
Rentrak, too, said it would not
report figures this weekend,
leaving a weekly Hollywood
tradition of boasting to go silent
for awhile.
The Dark Knight Rises is
sure to be among the most
lucrative movie openings. It was
seen as a possible contender
with the record $207.4 million
brought in by The Avengers,
but that appears unlikely even
though The Dark Knight Ris-
es earned $30.6 million from
the Friday midnight screenings
alone.

PBS President Paula Kerger said
Saturday shes disappointed
public TVs federal funding again
is under attack by lawmakers.
The move is ironic, she said,
given the impressive number of
Emmy Award nominations
earned last week by PBS pro-
grams, including the popular
drama Downton Abbey. PBS
received 58 nods, second only to
HBO and CBS.
Public television gets 15 per-
cent of its money from the feder-
ally funded Corporation for Pub-
lic Broadcasting, with the rest
largely contributed by viewers,
Kerger told a meeting of the Tel-
evision Critics Association.
But some stations would lose
more than half their money if
funds are cut, and a number of
them will be forced to go dark,
she said.
A loss of federal dollars
would eliminate public broad-
casting in areas I know its tre-
mendously used, Kerger said.
She cited a small Cookeville,
Tenn., station that has done an
extraordinary job at being an ar-
chive for the culture in that com-
munity.
U.S. House Republicans have
unveiled legislation aimed at
cutting off federal funding for
public television and National
Public Radio. Both have been
targets before, with Republicans
saying PBS could get along just
fine without taxpayer help.
Kerger said its disappointing
to me when you look at the value
the American public places on
PBS.
While she and other PBS exec-
utives try to be eloquent defend-
ers of public TV, she said, it is ul-
timately the audience that can
help protect it by making their
support for PBS known to Con-
gress.
Rep. Norm Dicks of Washing-
ton, a top Democrat on the Ap-
propriations Committee, said
last week the extremely parti-
san proposal stands little
chance of being brought up on
the House floor and will be dis-
regarded by the Senate and Pres-
ident Barack Obama.

funding

SAN FRANCISCO Does a
woman who strongly believes
she was meant to be a man have

most two decades. Advocates
have spent years lobbying the
American Psychiatric Associ-
ation to rewrite or even remove
the categories typically used to
diagnosetransgender people, ar-
guing that terms like Gender
Identity Disorder and Transves-
tic Fetishism promote discrimi-
nation by broad-brushing a di-
verse population with the stig-
ma of mental illness.
The label of mental defec-
tiveness really places a burden
on trans people to continually
prove our competence in our af-
firmed roles, Kelley Winters, a
Colorado scholar who has
helped lead the push for chang-
es, said.
Although the associations
new Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders is
not scheduledtobeprinteduntil
the end of the year, the updates
are taking shape after three
rounds of proposed changes.
Professionals who have been
part of or closely observing the
amendment process say the lat-
est wording, while not going as
far as many advocates wanted,
respects the broader shift in so-
cietys understanding and ac-
ceptance of what it means to be
transgender since the last major
revision of the manual was pub-
lished in 1994.
All psychiatric diagnoses oc-
cur within a cultural context,
New York psychiatrist Jack
Drescher, a member of the APA
subcommittee working on the
issue, said. We know there is a
whole community of people out
there who are not seeking med-
ical attention and live between
the two binary categories (of
male and female.) We wanted to
send the message that the ther-
apists job isnt to pathologize.
The most symbolic change
under consideration so far for
the manuals fifth edition,
knownas theDSM-Vfor short, is
a new name for Gender Identity
Disorder, the diagnosis nowgiv-
en to adults, adolescents and
children with a strong and per-
sistent cross-gender identifica-
tion. Inthe manuals next incar-
nation, individuals displaying a
marked incongruence between
ones experienced/expressed
gender and assigned gender
would be diagnosed instead
with Gender Dysphoria, a
termthat comes fromthe Greek
word for emotional distress.
While the shift may seem
purely semantic, switching the
emphasis fromadisorder that by
definitionall transgender people
possess to a temporary mental
state that only some might pos-
sess marks real progress, accord-
ing to Dana Beyer, a retired eye
surgeon who helped the Wash-
ington Psychiatric Society make
recommendations for the chap-
ter on Sexual and Gender Iden-
tity Disorders.
A right-winger cant go out
and say all trans people are men-
tally ill because if you are not
dysphoric, that cant be diag-
nosed from afar, Beyer said.
Persuading the psychiatric
profession to redefine who and
who does not qualify for its care
has historical precedent as a civ-
il rights issue. In 1973, the APA,
responding to pressure fromthe
gayandlesbiancommunity, con-
cluded that same-sex attraction
alone was a normal part of hu-
man experience, not an illness.
Although it took another 14
years for all conditions relatedto
homosexuality to be lifted from
the DSM, the earlier shift is re-
garded as a major milestone in
the gay rights movement, one
that paved the way for gays to
adopt children, get married and
serve in the military.
Transgender advocates
pushing for new terms
They argue terms such as
Gender Identity Disorder
promote discrimination.

CHICAGO For a man
whose fourthwife hadjust disap-
peared, Drew Peterson didnt
sound the least bit worried. He
seemed almost gleeful, suggesti-
ng that she had run off with an-
other man and that all her
threats of divorce coincided
with her menstrual cycle.
Authorities investigating that
disappearance back in 2007
soon started wondering if Peter-
son might have been involved
with the earlier drowning death
of his third wife. But that didnt
faze him. He joked about a Win
a Date With Drew contest and
discussed appearing on a reality
TV show about a Nevada broth-
el.
The crass swagger continued
even after the former suburban
Chicago police officer was ar-
rested in the drowning, which
had originally been ruled an ac-
cident. Peterson called a radio
show collect, from jail to
joke about a Wina Conjugal Vis-
it With Drew game.
Five years after he became an
object of national scorn, Peter-
son is about to go on trial on
charges that he murdered Kath-
leen Savio in 2004. His fourth
wife, Stacy, has never been
found.
Observers say Peterson may
benefit from the three years hes
been behind bars and out of the
public eye.
He really was becoming one
of the more hated individuals in
America, said Joe Tacopina, a
prominent defense attorney in
New York. Because he was in
jail, he took himself off the front
page, and that can only help him
with a jury pool.
Petersons attorney agreed.
Nobodys going to deny that
Drews relatively goofy behavior
rubbed people the wrong way,
said Joel Brodsky, who ex-
plained Petersons actions as
both the byproduct of a some-
times grim job and his way of
movingonafter his wife left him.
The fact that he hasnt been
at that for a period of years cer-
tainly helps some of his past an-
tics fade from memory.
The case, which begins Mon-
day withjury selection, is sure to
rekindle memories of the media
frenzy that engulfed Peterson
before his arrest, when he often
joked with an army of news
crews camped outside his house
and even invited Geraldo Rivera
into his kitchen.
Reporters from around the
country and maybe from as far
away as Japan will descend on a
courthouse inJoliet towatchthe
latest chapter of a story that has
already spawned a couple of
books anda cable TVmovie star-
ring Rob Lowe as Peterson.
The frenetic coverage abso-
lutely has the possibility of reig-
niting, said Mark Geragos, a
prominent California defense at-
torney who has been at the cen-
ter of comparable firestorms, in-
cluding when he represented
Scott Peterson (no relation), a
California man convicted of
murdering his young wife and
unborn child.
Prosecutors expect to tell a
relatively simple story: DrewPe-
terson killed his ex-wife to keep
her from making off with much
of his money in a contentious di-
vorce. Sometime around Feb.
29, 2004, according to the indict-
ment, Peterson went to Savios
house and in the bathroom
caused her to inhale fluid, kill-
ing her.
But that simple story is com-
plicated by what happened after
Savios body was discovered by a
friend of Petersons. Peterson
had called the friend to the
house to look for Savio, saying
he was worried.
The investigation unfolded
nothing like the ones jurors may
have seen on television pro-
grams such as CSI and Law&
Order.
Detectives areexpectedtotes-
tify, as they did at a hearing in
2010, that nobody collected a
single fingerprint or hair fiber at
the house. They will likely ac-
knowledge that Savios relatives,
who could have told investiga-
tors about the couples ongoing
battles, were never interviewed.
Jurors may also hear, as a
judge did at the 2010 hearing,
that Peterson was allowed to sit
in on a police interviewwith Sta-
cy Peterson as a professional
courtesy. This happened while
officers were trying to confirm
Petersons whereabouts the
weekend Savio died.
They may hear from another
detective who has already testi-
fied that he was disgusted by
the investigation, that he
thought Stacy Peterson was
hiding something and that he
strongly suspected Savios death
was not an accident.
When it does come up, it will
be prosecutors who ask about it.
You have to bring out all your
failures, all the flaws of the case,
yourself, said Marcia Clark, the
former Los Angeles deputy dis-
trict attorney who led the unsuc-
cessful prosecution of O.J. Simp-
son.
The two sides will also argue
over something that is rarely an
issue in a murder trial: Whether
a murder was actually commit-
ted.
Because Savios death was
originally ruled an accidental
drowning, prosecutors will pre-
sent pathologists to explain that
an examination of Savios body
after it was exhumed revealed
she had been killed.
Brodsky said he has three pa-
thologists ready to testify that
Savios death was, as originally
determined, an accident.
The defense is bound to use
the disputed findings to put
forth its own theory about why
Peterson was charged be-
cause of heat from law enforce-
ment, Geragos said.
If there is any physical evi-
dence linking Peterson to the
crime, prosecutors have not said
what it is. Instead, the case they
present to the jury is expected to
be largely, if not totally, circum-
stantial.

Hes charged with the murder
of his third wife in 2004. His
fourth wife remains missing.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. A17-year-
old Kentucky girl who was upset
by the plea deal reached by a pair
of teenagers who sexually as-
saulted her is now facing a con-
tempt charge for tweeting their
names in violation of a court or-
der.
Savannah Dietrich of Louis-
villetoldTheCourier-Journal she
is frustrated by what she feels is a
lenient deal for her attackers. Af-
ter posting the names on Twitter,
Dietrich wrote, Im not protect-
ing anyone that made my life a
living Hell.
The Associated Press does not
normally report the names of sex-
ual assault victims, but Dietrich
and her parents say they do not
want to shield her identity and
want her case to be public.
The boys attorneys have asked
a judge to hold Dietrich in con-
tempt for violating the confiden-
tiality of a juvenile hearing and
the judges order not to speak
about it.
Dietrichtoldthe paper she was
assaulted in August 2011 by two
boys she knew when she passed
out after drinking at a gathering.
She learned months later that
pictures of the assault were taken
and shared with others.
For months, I cried myself to
sleep. I couldnt go out in public
places, she told the newspaper,
as her father and attorneys sat
nearby. You just sit there and
wonder, who saw (the pictures),
who knows?
Dietrichs attorneys want her
contempt hearing open to the
media, arguing she has a First
Amendment right to speak about
her case and to a public hearing.
The boys attorneys, however,
have asked to keep the hearing
closed.
The contempt charge carries a
possible sentence of 180 days in
jail and a $500 fine.
The boys pleaded guilty on
June 26 to first-degree sexual
abuse and misdemeanor voyeu-
rism. Dietrich says she was un-
aware of a plea agreement until
just before it was announced in
court.
She couldnot say what the pro-
posed punishment was because
of the court order, but said she
feels like it was a slap on the
wrist.
The teens are to be sentenced
next month, and the judge could
reject or modify the terms of the
proposed agreement.
When Judge Dee McDonald
admonished everyone at the
hearing not to speak about what
happened in court or about the
crime, Dietrich said she cried.
They got off very easy ... and
they tell me to be quiet, just si-
lencing me at the end, she said.
Afterwards Dietrich tweeted,
They said I cant talk about it or
Ill be locked up. ....Protect rapist
is more important than getting
justice for the victim in Louis-
ville.
David Marburger, an Ohio
media law specialist, said Die-
trich should have tried to get the
courts to vacate the gag order
rather than simply violating it.
But Gregg Leslie, interimexec-
utive director of the Reporters
Committee for Freedom of the
Press, said Dietrich should not
be legally barred from talking
about what happened to her.
Thats a wide-ranging restraint
on speech.

PHILADELPHIA U.S. Sen.
Bob Casey, who is running for re-
election, said Friday that he had
not decided whether to support
President Barack Obama and top
Democrats on a plan to allow tax
rates to rise for higher earners, as
the Pennsylvania Democrat tried
to encourage compromise ahead
of a showdownontaxes, debt and
spending cuts.
Casey, whohas supportedOba-
mas signature policies during his
freshman term, also said in an
hourlong interview that he has
tried to focus on pressing legisla-
tion that he believes will improve
the climate for hiring and busi-
ness growth while working to-
ward compromises with Republi-
cans.
Congress
faces major
questions of fis-
cal policy that
are expected to
dominate de-
bate after the
Nov. 6 election.
Broad, decade-old income tax
cuts are set to expire at the end of
the year; the government is ex-
pected to hit its ceiling on bor-
rowing authority; and automatic
spending cuts that lawmakers ap-
proved last year but now want to
undoare scheduledtotake effect.
Obama and Democratic lead-
ers are pushing to allowtax rates
to rise on people making at least
$200,000 or families making
$250,000 a year as part of any bi-
partisan compromise, but Casey
said he would prefer a plan that
exposes people making $1 mil-
lionor more tothe higher rates to
help whittle down deficits and
debt.
I think you could probably get
consensus on that (with Republi-
cans), which is ultimately what
were going to need, he said.
Casey voted for Obamas eco-
nomic stimulus package, health
care law, immigration bill known
as the DREAM Act, bailout of
U.S. automakers, overhaul of fi-
nancial services regulations and
the repeal of the militarys ban on
gays serving openly. He nonethe-
less casts himself as a moderate
who eschews partisan fights and
is willing to vote against Obama
and the Democratic Party.
His focus, he said, has been on
tax bills that encourage invest-
ment and hiring he hasnt al-
ways won GOP support while
trying to meet Republicans in the
middle.
On a whole host of issues that
relate to creating and preserving
jobs for Pennsylvania and I think
for the nation, I think Ive got a
strong recordonthat, but thenal-
so trying to do my best to try to
help people reach common
ground, Caseysaid. Peoplewho
have worked with me know Ive
taken a lot of steps to try to lower
the temperature a bit, try to work
with people in both parties.
Casey, 52, of Scranton, is the
sonof thelateformer Gov. Robert
P. Casey and the former state
treasurer and auditor general.
His Republican challenger is
TomSmith, a newcomer to state-
wide politics from Armstrong
Countywhoruns afamilyfarmaf-
ter earning a small fortune in the
coal-mining business.
Casey doesnt embrace Obamas tax rate plan
He doesnt know if he will
back plan to allow tax rates
to rise for higher earners.

other municipal officials have
pored over the maps for hours
trying to pinpoint changes.
The township is estimated to
have 306 high-risk zone addi-
tions and 83 removals, for a net
increase of 223. Krommes said
some of the additions will be nul-
lified by upcoming flood
buyouts.
Old maps lacking
Most of the countys old paper
flood maps date back to the
1970s. They identified water-
ways but no individual structures
or property lines. Many roads are
missing, omitting key reference
points.
Theyre hard to understand,
Krommes said.
The new maps show property
boundary lines and most streets,
but dont highlight the changes.
Krommes spread out a large
current paper map one of sever-
al covering various parts of the
township. He cleared off more
space on a table for the new map
book and searched for the page
covering the same area.
He zeroed in on the townships
Irishtown section and surmised
some properties on Cleveland
and Center streets will be added
to the high-risk zone because of
nearby Mill Creek.
The high-risk zone also will
swallow up more properties in
the Plainsville section, he con-
cluded after shifting from one
map to the other.
Krommes said he and other of-
ficials have begun alerting affect-
ed property owners.
Data under review
Dallas Township engineer
Tom Doughton, of Trumbower
and Associates, said the town-
ship is in the midst of identifying
and notifying property owners
now that FEMA sent official no-
tice.
An estimated182 more proper-
ties will be in the high-risk zone.
Most of the additions will be
properties near Toby Creek and
its tributaries, officials say.
Properties in the high-risk
zones, also known as special
flood hazard areas or A zones,
are estimated to have a 1 percent
chance of flooding in any year
and a 26 percent chance of flood-
ing during the life of a 30-year
mortgage.
The federal government bases
these estimates on topography,
hydrology, hydraulics and data
from past flooding events.
Though prices fluctuate, flood
insurance generally costs around
$1,200 per year for $100,000 in
coverage in a high-risk zone, offi-
cials say. Impactedproperty own-
ers may lock in lower rates by
purchasing insurance by the end
of September.
Doughton said property own-
ers may appeal their inclusion in
A zones, but its an expensive
and massive process involving
engineering and surveying. He
does not believe there will be as
much room for appeal with the
new maps.
These are much more accu-
rate, and the chance of error that
youre not in the hazard area is
extremely slim, he said.
Dennison Township Zoning
Officer Keith A. Wheeler said
township officials are still identi-
fying impacted properties and
discussing a notification strate-
gy. An additional 154 township
properties are expected in the
high-risk zone, most along Ne-
scopeck Creek.
Municipalities must update
flood ordinances along with the
maps. Wheeler said any property
owners near creeks or streams
should contact the municipality
if theyre planning property addi-
tions or construction.
This could drastically change
what they can and cant do,
Wheeler said.
County Planning/Zoning Di-
rector Adrian Merolli said con-
structioninAzones may be more
costly because of additional sur-
veys and flood-proofing require-
ments.
Effect in W-B
Wilkes-Barre Operations Di-
rector Butch Frati said the city
hired a private engineering firm
to review the old and new maps
and help identify impacted prop-
erties.
The city is expected to have
nearly 600 removals and 700 ad-
ditions, for a net increase of 83
properties in the high-risk zone.
Frati said most of the additions
will be in the area of Solomon
Creek, though four other creeks
also wind through the city.
Once we know for sure where
were headed, there will be some
type of informative program for
the residents impacted, Frati
said.
Ashley is expected to have 83
property additions in the high-
risk zone. Council President Jim
Mullin said the borough hasnt
alerted property owners but will
discuss a notification plan.
Brozena said he tried to help
municipalities in 2010 with
rough maps highlighting differ-
ences as a guide, which formed
the basis for estimates of increas-
es and decreases. However, he
stressed the map was a courtesy
effort that isnt guaranteed for ac-
curacy.
Nescopeck borough officials
contacted the owners of roughly
40 properties near Black Creek
about their possible addition
based on the maps supplied by
Brozena, said borough secreta-
ry/treasurer Stacie Kachurka.
Lending institutions will in-
form property owners with out-
standing mortgages about the in-
surance requirement after Nov. 2.
Kachurka said property owners
must hash out details with their
lenders if only portions of their
properties are in the zone.
Brozena advises all county
property owners including
those who arent close to the
countys 800 miles of waterways
to check out the new maps on
their own to prepare. The county
engineering and planning/zon-
ing offices and all municipalities
have copies of the maps, he said.
All but five municipalities
Freeland, Hazleton, Hughes-
town, Jeddo and Yatesville are
projected to have properties add-
ed and removed from the high-
risk zone, according to the coun-
tys preliminary analysis.
Property owners should take
the time to confirm for them-
selves if theyre in. Its important
for everybody to check it out,
Brozena said.
AMANDA HRYCYNA/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Plains Township Fire Capt. Charles Krommes struggles to com-
pare vague old flood maps to new ones that take effect Nov. 2.
MAPS
The new flood maps may be
viewed online at https://
www.rampp-team.com/pa.htm.
Scroll to Luzerne County and click
on the "preliminary interactive
flood map index (sheet 1)." Use the
PDF tools to zoom in to your sec-
tion of the county and click inside
the blue numbered box to obtain
an aerial map. This map must be
enlarged to identify individual
properties. Any property in a
blue-shaded area labeled as a
flood zone starting with the letter
A is in the high-risk zone, requiring
insurance with an outstanding
mortgage.

and the other aid she has re-
ceived, but the trailer is not her
home, and she wonders whether
shell ever feel at home again.
You sit here; you get through
another day; you wait, she said.
You just sit through it, day-to-
day. Its not going to happen in a
day. It takes a lot of time anda lot
of money.
A retiree, Line spends her
days walkingandpickingberries
in the woods behind the park,
watching television, playing
Scrabble with her daughter --
whatever she can do to pass the
time.
But the flood is always on a
back burner, in her mind.
The only way you can get
awayis whenyoure sleeping, be-
cause you wake up and youre
not where you want to be, she
said.
Jack Schuback, Director of Di-
saster Recovery for FEMA Re-
gion III, said the number of fam-
ilies in trailers today is actually a
bit better than average.
Its not unusual for people to
take a considerable amount of
time to come up with their per-
manent housing plan, Schu-
back said. Actually, having 100
achieve that is pretty good in
comparison to some other oper-
ations weve done.
Picking up the pieces
Tammy Bidding is still pick-
ing up the pieces of her home in
West Nanticoke, where she
stayed the night through the
flood watching peoples lives
float by as the water climbed a
stair below her
homes second floor.
She relives that
night as she and her
fianc, Duane Pel-
lam, work to restore
their home. They
hope to return by
Christmas, if they
havent been award-
ed a buyout offer.
All of your stuff is covered in
mud, Tammy said. You bring
up boxes of knick-knacks and
you try to wash them Its very
hard when your life is destroyed
like this, and you see what you
can and cant save. Even now I
do go down there and cry when I
see all the destruction.
Biddingis grateful tohave sur-
vived the flood unharmed and
for the mobile home she shares
with Duane and their 11-year-old
daughter Cheyenne in the East
Mountain Ridge Mobile Home
Park in Plains Township, but
said she often feels FEMA push-
es flood victims too hard to
move out of the trailers.
Displaced flood victims can
remainintrailers until March12,
2013, 18 months after President
Barrack Obama declared Tropi-
cal Storm Lee a major disaster
and released federal aid for
Northeastern Pennsylvania. But
they must demonstrate that
they are making progress restor-
ing their homes or are actively
seeking alternative living ar-
rangements or risk eviction.
Uncertain future
Mike Merth isnt sure when
hell be able to leave two trailers
he shares with his family in the
Laurel RunEstates mobile home
park in Laurel Run, where he
lives with his wife, four children
and five grandchildren.
Like many homeowners who
suffered significant damage in
the flood, Merth has applied to
have his home inHunlock Town-
ship bought out by the federal
government, but he isnt sure if
or when his buyout
will be approved,
and has stalled res-
torationworkwhile
he awaits an an-
swer.
Its kind of like
being homeless but
not at the same
time, he said.
We havent got a let-
ter of intent yet. We cant go to a
bank and apply for a loan with-
out that letter of intent. We
could go look at houses, but we
cant buy anything, so were no-
where.
He spends his days browsing
homes for sale on the Internet or
in his car. His Christian faith
gives him a conviction that God
will provide, and that all-in-all
his family probably will be better
off living out of the flood plain in
a place like Wilkes-Barre.
But he also admits the transi-
tion to life in the park has been
difficult for his children.
The kids dont know where
theyre going to go to school
next year, Merth said. They
dont know where theyre going
tobe sixmonths downthe road.
Paperwork, red tape
Mountains of paperwork, fly-
by-night contractors, arguments
with insurance companies and
confusion over federal and local
buildingcodes have addedtothe
woes of flood victims.
Im angry as hell at the state
andthe local andthe federal gov-
ernment, said Bill Lane, who
moved from a historic home in
Falls to the FEMA-built High-
fields Community Site in Tunk-
hannock Township in Decem-
ber. Theres no help out there.
Yeah I got 30 grand fromFEMA,
but the contractor ripped me off
and nowIve got to go to court to
get my money back so I can fin-
ish my house.
Youve got to fill out 50 forms
to be told no, and Im sick of fill-
ing out forms, Lane continued,
pouring out his frustration. A
lot of people dont know how
hard it is on us that are trying.
You really get uptight, and its
enough to really make you up-
set.
Financial strains show
Armando and Donna Gon-
zales have lived in the East
Mountain Ridge park since No-
vember. FEMAhas been good to
them, they said, but just about
everything else has been a night-
mare.
They bought the maximum
amount of flood insurance avail-
able for their home on Wyoming
Avenue in West Pittston,
$250,000 for the dwelling and
$100,000 for their personal prop-
erty.
But even the maximum wont
cover the structural damage
caused when the home shifted
on its foundation -- $265,000 by
one engineers estimate and
their insurance company, Trav-
elers, offered only a fraction of
that up front.
The company will pay the re-
mainder on an invoice basis, Ar-
mando Gonzales said, but after
spendingmore than$15,000out-
of-pocket for cleaning, attorneys
and engineers estimates, Gon-
zales, a retiree, said he cant risk
putting more of his money on
the line without a guarantee of
reimbursement.
My credits run out, he said.
My credit rating dropped from
750-800 to 500 and change. I
couldnt get credit to buy a pack
of gum.
Combined with discrepancies
between the flood mitigation re-
pairs FEMA and West Pittston
Borough are demanding, confu-
sion over building permits and
code requirements and a mort-
gage holder threatening foreclo-
sure, its enough to keep the
Gonzaleses awake at night.
We cant relax, Armando
Gonzales said. Its like living on
the edge You wake up three,
four times a night thinking
about it. You think if youre mak-
ing the right move one way or
the other.
Family home gone
Barbara Sala-Daley suffered in
the flood as well, losing the cen-
tury-old house in Falls her
grandfather purchased and
spending 10 weeks camped out
in her yard, first in a pop-up
camper then in an RVlent by her
friend, Harry Hopkins. Her eyes
tear upas she recalls the contrac-
tors tearing the house down.
But as monotonous and isolat-
ing as her time in the Tunkhan-
nock Township park has been,
Sala-Daley sees brighter days
ahead.
In about six weeks she hopes
she and her babies a trio of
pocket beagles can move into
the log cabinshe is building atop
14-foot piers to ensure the water
will never again sweep her life
away.
I have absolutely noreasonto
complain, other than the long
wait and the loneliness I guess,
but thats a small price to pay,
Sala-Daley said. I think a lot of
people are just the same way I
am; theyre just waiting.
Its just been so lengthy, and
it just seems to drag and drag
anddrag, she continued. (But)
at least theres a light at the end
of the tunnel. Its not like I lost
my dogs.

I
f the seasons of the year had an-
thems, the 1902 blockbuster hit In
the Good Old Summertime would
surely bring crowds to their feet and
tears to peoples eyes any June through
August.
This little number began life as the
highlight of a Broadway show. Quickly,
Sousas Band recorded it and millions
bought the sheet music and began
playing it on their parlor pianos. To
this day huge numbers of Americans
can still hum its melody and sing
snatches of its catchy lyrics. You can
even put the ringtone on your cell
phone.
Besides its singability, probably the
dittys continuing popularity hinges on
nostalgia.
The sweet song carries us away to a
Camelot time when life was relaxed,
people were kind and pleasures were
simple.
Ahem!
Lets look at a few numbers. Back in
the days when piano music wafted
from open windows on street after
street maybe life did have its glories,
but a lot of people didnt get to hang
around long enough to enjoy many of
them.
Thats because American life expec-
tancy was hovering around 50 to 53
years of age. Much of that low average,
sad to say, came about because of the
huge numbers of children killed by
diseases that plagued youth. A family
might produce eight kids, and if they
were lucky maybe four of them would
survive chickenpox, croup and other
maladies that preceded adulthood.
If you look up stories of the huge
coal mining disasters of our area 1860s
through 1920s one phrase in the casu-
alty totals should jump out at you. It
was so many men and boys who were
killed in the mine collapse or fire. Yes,
little kids carried equipment into
mines rather than textbooks to ele-
mentary schools, which of course
didnt involve a weekly pay envelope.
The lines When your days work is
over/Then you are in clover probably
sounded pretty hollow to those fam-
ilies. And even if you survived below
ground, it was pretty difficult to taste
the birds and the treeses and sweet
scented breezes down in the pits.
Even beyond mines and railroads
(another dangerous occupation), where
200 or more Luzerne County residents
could die every year, life was no picnic.
In the song To swim in the pool/
You play hooky from school. Ah, what
images of carefree kids hopping into
ponds.
Apart from the apparent conundrum
of 1912 summer school, do you have
any idea what swimming meant a
century ago? Well, it wasnt splashing
about in an Olympic-size Kingston pool
with three lifeguards watching and
badges regulating the depth you were
allowed to swim in. In summer of 1912,
13 young people drowned locally, most
of them in that ol swimmin hole the
Susquehanna River, while friends could
only look on in shock.
But for me, the most amazing part of
the song is this. Those days full of
pleasure/We now fondly treasure,
suggest that even in 1912 adults were
looking fondly back at some mythic
glorious past when everything about

evin McDonald is the owner of Damentis Restaurant in Moun-
tain Top. McDonald, 59, graduated from Crestwood High
School and attended the University of Denver where he majored in
art. Kevin has lived with his wife, Helen, in Mountain Top for the
past 35 years. They have two daughters: Kristen and Lauren.
You mentioned that you swayed
away from college and found your
niche in the cooking industry. The
Denver Marriott was your first big
gig. What was your selling point
that got you that job? I told the
manager that I wanted to learn and
that I would not steal. I was hired
immediately and asked when I could
start.
What was next? The Marriott
was where I got most of my formal
training as a cook. I had a couple
of jobs in Denver as a cook after
that stint and then decided to
make a career move back to the
East Coast with my wife. We had
about five hundred dollars to our
name when we saw that Damentis
was going up for sale. We got a loan
and went for it and made a go of it.
How were the early years of own-
ing the restaurant? Jimmy Damenti
actually apprenticed me for about six
weeks. We were successful those first
years and subsequent years. The
toughest times have been post 911
and the recession. We do have great
offerings these days for a variety of
people and continue to thrive with
our regular guests and new ones. We
have the Sand Bar in the warm
weather and the Ice Bar in the cold
months. This outdoor offering has all
the amenities that will hopefully en-
tice the new generation of young
professionals.
What exactly is the Ice Bar? It is
the outdoor summer bar converted
into a beautiful setting in ice. The bar
is made of ice. The windows are made
of ice and help insulate the outdoor
structure. Even if it gets a bit warm
outside we have insulated the rest of
the structure and its under refriger-
ation.
How did the inspiration for the Ice
Bar come about? I have been in-
volved with ice sculpting for about 30
years. So this is actually mixing plea-
sure with business to make the venue
beautiful.
When you are not cooking or
sculpting, what do you like to do? I
really like to go fishing with my dog,
Vinnie. My daughter Kristen named
him, its taken from my name, Ke(vin).
She said lets name him Vinnie and it
was a done deal.
Where have your travels taken
you through the years? My wife and
I attended cooking schools in Bolog-
na, Italy, and Hong Kong. We used our
time there as a sort of vacation, too.
Where would you like to visit?
We would love to go to Harbin, Chi-
na, to see the ice city they carve that

etired general and thoracic surgeon Vic-
tor F. Greco of Drums, 85, still rises be-
fore the sun, marshaling a reserve of energy
that could embarrass men half his age.
Greco, who was awarded UNICOs presti-
gious Marconi Award in April for his service
to medical science and the Italian-American
community, grew accustomed to his early-
morning routine during his four decades as a
physician. He hoped that his years as a med-
ical doctor would better not only his commu-
nity, but the human community in general.
I hope I am remembered for being
an educator, being concerned for my
fellowcitizens, and working for the bet-
terment of mankind, Greco said in a
calm, gravelly voice that betrays his
years of study and service.
Not one to boast, he modestly point-
ed to a series of positions that he ful-
filled to medical science. Greco has
servedas chief of surgery at St. Josephs
Medical Center and the State General
Hospital in Hazleton, president of the
PA Medical Society, president of the
Hazleton Area Heart Association, pres-
ident of the Hazleton Area Cancer So-
ciety, anddeputysecretaryof healthun-
der Governor Casey.
But the two contributions to medi-
cine for which Greco received his Mar-
coni Award left an indelible mark upon
his field.
In1953, he was a member of the oper-
ating team at Philadelphias Jefferson
Medical College that performed the
first successful open heart surgery. Lat-
er, hehelpeddeveloptheheart andlung
machine under the guidance of Jeffer-
sons Dr. John H. Gibbons.
Receiving the Marconi Award came
as a special honor to Greco, who feels a
deep indebtedness to his Italian-Amer-
ican upbringing.
Im obviously very proud of my Ital-
ian-American heritage, he said, listing
the values it instilled in himas a young
man. Work hardno excuses. Do the
best you can. Remember your family.
And give back to your community
whenever you can.
In his retirement, Greco rises early

To go with the movie theme,

We are at the hub of the East

from people from those states.
What are some of your most

children are definitely respon-
sible for most all of my best

remember when my daughter
Lauren wrote a cute essay
about hearing people sing
happy birthday at the restau-
rant from her bedroom window.

back to the community in which
he was raised and to which he
devoted his medical career
Hazleton. His volunteer work is
exhaustive enough occupy an-
other lifetime, but he remains
energetic and committed.
Among his diverse service po-
sitions are a chairmanship of
WVIA-TVs Auction 44 for the
greater Hazleton area, a general
chairmanship of Hazletons
Heart Association Fundraising,
a finance chairmanship of the
Boy Scouts of America Anthra-
cite Council and a general chair-
manship of Red Cross Fundrais-

ea.
For Greco, these volunteer ini-
tiatives are motivatedbya vision
of the local community as an ex-
tended family that must be
served faithfully.
The community should be
nothing more than an extended
family, Greco reflected. And
family values include always
coming to the aid of your rela-

life was better.
So maybe our great-grand-
parents really did sense that
something about their time
was unsettlingly imperfect, and
In the Good Old Summer-
time was more joyous escap-
ism than statement of fact.
But nobody can live on the
edge forever. I think thats why
the songs most enduring lines
are the ones about Strolling
thru a shady lane/With your
baby mine. Lets join with
those old folks in this way:
dream about the past, but seize
the here and now.
Hey, a happy summer to you.

to provide both near and far vision and may

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

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England
The ball tumbled over the edge of a pot
bunker and appeared to put AdamScott
in the worst spot he had been all day at
the British Open.
All he saw was opportunity.
From the wet sand right of the 17th
green, Scott had to clear two more pot
bunkers toreachthe green, withthe flag
only five paces fromthe edge. Scott was
thinking about birdie, not trying to save
par, so he confidently told caddie Steve
Williams, I can handle this. The shot
came out pure, trickled by the cup and
settled a foot away.
The more relevant questions are one
round away.
Can he handle a
four-shot lead, know-
ing this is a year when
no lead appears safe?
Can he handle a lead-
erboard with four ma-
jor champions among
the top six names, in-
cluding Tiger Woods? Can he handle
the wind that is expected to finally ar-
rive at Royal Lytham & St. Annes?
Imjust happy to be in this position,
Scott said. To be honest, Im really ex-
cited about tomorrow.
Scott has never hada better chance to

PLAINS A week-long youth camp
held at Mohegan Sun at Pocono
Downs, courtesy of the Harness Horse
Youth Foundation came to a close on
Saturday night, and for some, couldnt
have ended on a better note.
The five-day camp concluded with
the campers with the aid of a trained
driver suiting up, hopping into one
of the racing harnesses and competing
in their very own laps around the track
for one of three exhibition races.
What I loved the most about this all
week is you get a lot of time with the
horses, said Gaby Hockensmith, 13,
of Maryland, who won the third race of
the night. My favorite part is driving
them. I was a little unsure about it at
the start, but then I got out and saw
that we did pretty good. Ill probably
try and come back next year.

is used to playing in games decid-
ed by one run.
Entering Saturdays Region 5
Tournament first round game,
nearly half of the teams wins
were one-run outcomes.
That experience helped the

runner-up in
Saturdays con-

since 2003 and advanced to play
either Green Ridge or Milford to-

and Milford played Saturday
night and results were not avail-
able before press time.
Condeelis, a Tunkhannock

BERWICK
BERWICK A single word quelled
the din in the locker room.
Guys!
The voice was familiar, although it
only recently returned to the hal-
lowed walls where six state football
championships were bred. And the
players listening were in grade school
the last time George Curry was in
command.
Curry gave Berwick football fans a
taste albeit a water-downed version
of whats coming in little over a
month. He and his Dawgs took part in
an eight-team 7-on-7 passing scrim-
mage at Crispin Field on Saturday.
Its great for high school football,
its great for the Berwick community,
Mount Carmel coach Carmen De-
Francesco said. And obviously, Ge-
orge is happy. He has an opportunity
to get back in football and coach his
grandson. I know thats a special
thing because I got to coach my son.
Curry was hired about a month
ago, taking a position he held for 35
years before resigning after the 2005
season. After a three-year stint as
Wyoming Valley Wests coach, he
retired and did television and radio
work.
But when Gary Campbell resigned
after six seasons at Berwick, Curry
accepted the head coach position on
an interim basis.
Honest to God, there is so much
work to do you dont think about
those things, the 68-year-old Curry
said of how long hell stay. I like this
sophomore class. Thats a great class.
Theres more speed in that class col-
lectively, I dont remember a team
that had that much speed. Theres not
one of them, theres six of them that
can run.
Curry didnt put much value in the
passing scrimmage where offensive
skill players face a defense consisting
of linebackers and a secondary that
resulted in a 28-22 loss to Delaware
Valley in the championship matchup.
That didnt prevent him from show-
ing some of the passion that led to a
record six Class 3A state champion-
ships.
When a Berwick linebacker was
overaggressive in the non-contact
competition against Manheim Cen-
tral, Curry immediately yanked him.
When his grandson C.J. failed to
throw to the correct receiver against

T
he first time he stepped into a
boxing ring, Larry Holmes re-
members feeling frightened.
I was scared, the former heavy-
weight champion of the world said.
Scared somebody was going to beat
me up.
He has an even bigger fear now.
Holmes has been watching with
worry while drug activity and gang
violence keeps growing in his adopted
hometown of Easton, along with other
areas of Pennsylvania, including
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, over the last
decade.
And he thinks he has the perfect plan
to knock it out.
We have to be better parents, better
leaders, better role models, said
Holmes, who stopped by Dickson City
Hyundai on Saturday to help promote
next weekends Summer Thunder
amateur boxing card at the Adventure
Zone in Scranton.
Theres so much craziness going on
in the world, I dont know whats hap-
pening, Holmes continued, dreading
the danger that awaits todays children.
Boxing is one hell of a way to keep
them out of trouble.
Holmes found little trouble once he
laced on a pair of boxing gloves.
A native of Cuthbert, Ga., who grew
up in Easton from the age of 7, Holmes
won his first 48 professional heavy-
weight fights and nine of the first 15
of those victories came at the former
Scranton CYC.
My first fight here in Scranton, I
thought it was like a 15-round heavy-
weight championship fight, Holmes,
now 62, said of the 1973 night he de-
buted by beating Rodell Dupree in a
four-round decision. I was never so
tired fighting four rounds in my life.
It was hard as heck.
It got easier.
Behind the strength of his legendary
lethal left jab, Holmes won the heavy-
weight championship by beating Ken
Norton in 1978, held it for more than
seven years and defended it 20 times
before coming up one victory shy of
matching Rocky Marcianos record of
49 consecutive victories to begin a
career.
One of those title defenses came
when Holmes world-known as the
Easton Assassin fulfilled an early
promise to return to Scranton, where
he beat Lucien Rodriguez at the Watres
Armory in 1983.
I wouldnt forget where I started,
Holmes said, explaining how he fought
resistance from big-name boxing pro-
moter Don King to bring a champion-
ship fight back to the town where his
career began. I said, When I become
champion, Im going to come back here
and fight in Scranton, Pa., so we could
have some recognition. What goes
around comes back. Scrantons always
been a home away from home.
Home is where his heart is.
And Holmes says it does his heart
good to see cards such as the one
thatll be held Saturday at the Adven-
ture Zone (formerly known as the
Icebox), where young men and wom-
en will get the opportunity to test
their athletic prowess.
I recommend boxing to any young
kid who really wants to box, Holmes
said. Once they go into the gym, if
theyre mad at somebody, theyre not
going to be mad when they come out.
Theyll be too tired. Theyll want to go
home to sleep.
He believes competing in sports in
general and boxing in particular can
help put to rest the negative influences
facing the youth of today. It is where
maybe the next Larry Holmes can
grow dreams so big, maybe hell also
someday become the best.

Local team making
a charge in North
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
Some Phillies fans are start-
ing to call for a Domonic Brown
promotion from Triple-A Lehigh
Valley.
Despite spending two stints
on the disabled list, the former
top prospect in the organization
is starting to heat up for the
IronPigs. Since his last return
from the D.L., the outfielder has
seven hits in 16 at-bats for a .438
batting average.
Prior to being activated off
the Lehigh Valley injured list,
Brown had an extremely hot
rehab appearance with the Gulf
Coast League Phillies hitting in
all five games he played racking
up 11 hits in 19 at-bats for a .579
average.
Still just 24-years old, he has
played all three outfield posi-
tions for Lehigh Valley, with
most of his appearances being
in left. Overall on the season,
the left-hander hitter is batting
.280 with five home runs, 25
RBI and four stolen bases in 51
games.
Here are Philadelphias top 10

MLB.com and how they are
faring in 2012.

command issues recently walk-
ing 23 and striking out 15 nine
over his last four outings span-
ning 20 innings. That includes
an eight-walk outing last week
in just five innings. For the
season, he is 7-7 with a 5.15
ERA, 101 strikeouts and 56
walks in 99
2
3 innings.
2. Jesse Biddle, LHP, Clear-
water (A-Advanced): After be-
ing hit with his first loss in
more than a month, he rebound-
ed for a no-decision last week.
For the season, hes 5-4 with an
ERA of 3.39. He has also
punched out 96 batters in 93
innings.
3. Brody Colvin, RHP, Clear-
water (A-Advanced): In his last
six starts hes been unhittable
allowing just eight runs over his
last 37 innings after a short stint
in the bullpen, lasting at least
six inning in all but one start.
To date for the Threshers, he
has a 3.93 ERA with a 5-5 re-
cord to go with 90 strikeouts in
100
2
3 innings.
4. Larry Greene, outfielder,
Williamsport: The 19-year-old
first-round pick from last June
hit his first professional home
run last week as part of a 3-for-4
game against Vermont. For the
season, the power hitter is hit-
ting .275 with 16 RBI and a .398
on base percentage.
5. Phillippe Aumont, RHP,
Lehigh Valley (Triple-A): The
6-foot-7, 260-pound reliever
allowed two runs in one inning
last week as his ERA rose from
4.18 to 4.50. Currently for the
IronPigs, hes 2-1 with 39 strike-
outs in 30 innings.
6. Sebastian Valle, catcher,
Reading (Double-A): The 21-
year-old hit his 11th homer of
the season on Friday and has
been hot with seven hits in his
last four games. His average
now stands at .252 with 37 RBI.
7. Justin De Fratus, RHP,
Lehigh Valley (Triple-A): after
being activated from the D.L.,
the reliever has pitched once for
the IronPigs, a scoreless inning.
Including rehab assignments,
hes thrown in five games, five
innings and not allowed a run.
8. Maikel Franco, third base,
Lakewood (Class A): The 19-
year-old is getting in a rhythm
having hit safely in 18 of his last
22 games. For the season, hes
batting .235 with nine home
runs and 57 RBI.
9. Jonathan Pettibone, RHP,
Reading (Double-A): He picked
up his eighth win of the season
Friday night pitching five score-
less frames. He is 8-7 with a
3.43 ERA and 75 strikeouts in
110
1
3 innings.
10. Darin Ruf, first base, Read-
ing: Hes been rocketing up the
prospects list lately batting .308
with 15 homers and 60 RBI for
the R-Phils. Brought up as a first
baseman, the right-hander is
starting to see time in left field.

SWB YANKEES UPCOMI NG SCHEDUL E
Russ Canzler,
Hazleton Area, Colum-
bus (Cleveland, Triple-
A): A grad from Hazle-
ton Area, the 26-year-
old is back on track
after a slow start.
Hes now batting .275
with 14 home runs and
53 RBI for the Clippers.
He also has 22 doubles,
two triples and a .333
on base percentage
while picking up his
second stolen base of
the season Friday night.
Canzler was original-
ly drafted by the Cubs
in the 30th round in
2004. He was signed as
a minor league free
agent by Tampa Bay
last year and then
traded to Cleveland.
Kyle Landis,
Hazleton Area, Akron
(Cleveland, Double-A): An
18th-round pick by the
Indians in 2007, the
right-handed reliever has
hit a rough patch. In two
of his last three outings,
hes given up three runs
in 1
1
3 innings.
For the season, he still
has solid numbers for
the Aeros with a 3.80
ERA in 30 games while
striking out 42 in 47
1
3
innings and posting a 5-3
record with two saves.
Cory Spangen-
berg, Abington
Heights, Lake Elsinore
(San Diego, Class A
advanced): The 10th
overall pick in 2011 by
the Padres hasnt
played since June 28
nursing a head injury.
For the season, hes
batting .288 with one
home run, 33 RBI and 21
stolen bases in 27
attempts, to go along
with six triples, 11 dou-
bles and 40 runs in 67
games.
Ray Black, Cough-
lin, San Francisco
(extended spring train-
ing): A power pitcher,
Black is nursing a
shoulder injury which
arose at the end of
spring training and hes
been sidelined since. He
is still rehabbing in
Scottsdale, Ariz.
The seventh-round
draft pick (237th over-
all) out of the University
of Pittsburgh last June
is ranked the No. 24
overall prospect in the
organization, according
to Baseball America and
has been known to
reach in the high 90s
with his fastball. He is
also listed as an Under
the Radar player for
the organization, ac-
cording to MLB.com.
Rich Thompson,
Montrose, Durham
(Tampa Bay, Triple-A): A
33-year-old speedy
outfielder, he played
against his former
team, Lehigh Valley last
week going 3-for-14 in
four games. Hes cur-
rently batting .285 with
eight RBI and nine
stolen bases in 30
games since being sent
to the Bulls.
Last month, he was
traded to Tampa from
the Phillies and was
immediately called up
to the big leagues.
Before the trade, he
was hitting .307 for
Lehigh Valley with
seven stolen bases
along with an on-base
percentage of .390 for
the IronPigs. His minor
league totals this
season include a .294
batting average with 16
stolen bases and an on
base percentage of .371.
Kyle McMyne, Old
Forge, Bakersfield
(Cincinnati, Class A
Advanced): The right-
handed reliever had a
10-game scoreless
streak snapped last
week giving up runs in
back-to-back outings.
Taken by the Reds in
the fourth round (145th
overall) of last years
draft, he only allowed
one run in those out-
ings and still has re-
spectable numbers for
the team.
On the season for
Bakersfield, he has
given up 11 earned runs
in 24
1
3 innings as his
ERA dropped by nearly
three runs to 4.07 after
the impressive stretch.
He is 1-1 with 23 strike-
outs against 16 walks
and four saves.
D I S T R I C T 2 S P R E S E N C E I N T H E M I N O R L E A G U E S
leading the Eastern League
with 10 wins to go with just
four losses and a 2.97 ERA in
19 starts.
Fellow starting pitcher
Shaeffer Hall has seemed to be
a workhorse for the Thunder,
throwing an Eastern League-
high 121 innings and 20 games
started. Perez meanwhile has
been one of the most consis-
tent relievers in the league
posting a 1.04 ERA to go with
a 5-1 record.
Of course, a winning team
cant be complete without a
successful manager.
And Trenton has one of the
best in the minors in Tony
Franklin, who picked up a
milestone victory earlier this
season with career win 1,000.
You cant really explain
what he does or anything. Hes
a great guy and is so much fun
to be around, Mahoney said.
He can joke around or kid
with us, too. But when its time
to get serious, its time to get
serious. Hes a special guy to
do what he did and still be able
to be the type of guy that he is.
Its always a good compliment
when you have players saying
whos your favorite manager
and Tony Franklin, hes defi-
nitely one of my favorites for
sure.
The New York Yankees have
been known to have one of
baseballs top offenses over the
last several years.
Looking at whats coming up
in the minors for the orga-
nization, the output doesnt
look to be short-lived.
The Trenton Thunder, the
teams Double-A affiliate, leads
the Eastern League in batting
average (.268), home runs
(117), RBI (437), runs (467),
slugging percentage (.432) and
OPS (.770).
First baseman Luke Murton
has been a huge piece for the
Thunder. The 26-year-old leads
the E.L. with 20 home runs
and is sixth in the league with
54 RBI prior to Saturdays
game.
Its all about team chemistry.
Everyones friends with
everybody its a really fun envi-
ronment and its definitely
more joking than a normal
clubhouse would probably be,
infielder Kevin Mahoney said.
Every single player on the
team knows how to have fun
whether theyre 4-for-4, 3-for-4,
0-for-4, whatever.
Mahoney, who was named
an all-star for the Thunder
representing the Eastern
League East Division earlier
this month, was one of four
Trenton players to play in the
leagues mid-summer classic
along with pitcher Brett Mar-
shall, outfielder Melky Mesa
and reliever Kelvin Perez.
To show that the Thunder
arent all about offense, Mar-
shall was the starting pitcher
for the East in the All-Star
game. The right-hander has
been a key component for
Trentons success this season,
Home sweet home?
Everyone in the Minor
League Baseball community
knows by now that the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees are
playing their entire season on
the road while renovations are
occurring at PNC Field.
The Thunder have been
nestled in cozy Mercer County
Waterfront Park since 1994 and
have been part of New Yorks
organization since 2003.
While it could be tough
playing on the road and living
out of hotels for a full season,
Mahoney wouldnt mind a
promotion.
To be honest, I dont really
care about the living situation
so if they say hey youre going
to Triple-A thats one step
closer to the big leagues,
Mahoney said. So thats all I
care about it. I dont care
where we play, when we play, I
just want to get to the big
leagues.
If hes not promoted by the
end of 2012, Mahoney has a
shot of opening the recon-
structed PNC Field in 2013 as
part of the Triple-A roster. And
thats something that would be
more than welcome.
I dont want to get ahead of
myself or anything, but that
would be a lot of fun to play in
a new stadium, he noted.

inning, and Gregor Blanco

ance.

hannock manager Scott Zaner
walked out to the mound.
I just walked out there to give
hima break and a breather, Zan-
er said. I didnt really talk to him
about much just hey keep doing
what youre doing.
The time out must have helped
because Condeelis settled down.
He allowed Jones to score on a
fielders choice for a 5-4 lead. But
a pair of potential hits were
caught by in the outfield to end
the game. The first was a blooper
that seemed like trouble and the
second was a liner to center.
That was a hard play in right
field and after that the wheels
kind of fell off a little, but it took
true grit from the whole team,
Condeelis said. I knew if we
were going to come out with a
win there it would be a team ef-
fort, and it showed.
I wouldnt say I was getting
nervous, I was just mad at myself
because I couldnt seem to find
the zone and stay there consis-
tently.
Tunkhannock (14-9) battled
back froma 3-0 hole after the bot-
tom of the second. Berwick
(17-4) put a three-spot on the
scoreboard off Tunkhannock
starter Josh McLain, taking ad-
vantage of a hit batsman and a
walk to lead off the inning. Jones
came through with a double to
plate the first run, while the oth-
ers scored on an error and a fiel-
ders choice.
But after that inning, McLain
was in a zone. He only allowed
one batter to reach second base
from the third through seventh
innings. The only time a runner
got past second was in the eighth
when he was beyond100 pitches.
Overall onthe afternoon, McLain
struck out seven and walked
three, giving up just six hits in
eight innings.
Josh stepped up big time this
year both in varsity and legion
andhes become a pitcher, Zaner
noted.
Trailing 3-0, Tunkhannock an-
swered with three runs of its own
in the top of the third. Ryan
Goodwinplatedtwowitha single
and the game was evened at 3-3
on a RBI groundball double-play.
Tunkhannock used small ball in
the top of the sixthto take its first
lead of the game at 4-3. Sean Sol-
tysiak singled, stole second, was
sacrificedtothirdandscoredona
sacrifice fly.
Lance Sherry scored on an er-
ror in the top of the ninth for a
two-run Tunkhannock advan-
tage.
Its a long game so we never
felt like pushing the panic but-
ton, Condeelis added. We really
felt like if we stayed close and
kept pushing we were going to
make it interesting. Thats just a
tribute to the guys we have.

ing, equipment and stable man-
agement, among other topics
at one of 10 national camps
held this summer by the HHYF.
Theyve been doing so
much all week, said Billie Jo
Fenwick, one of the camp vol-
unteers. Theyve been work-
ing in stables with the horses,
learning from the riders and
trainers and everything like
that. Theyve had lots of fun
with it, weve even done things
like gotten everybody together
and gone bowling, just last
night we had a swimnight. Its
been a busy but fun week.
The HHYF is a charitable or-
ganization dedicated to provid-
ing education opportunities
with harness horses. Establish
in 1976, the foundation pro-
vides interactive learning expe-
riences with the horses and
draws interest from all over,
even, in some cases, from as far
away as the opposite coast.
My moms got some family
out here, so we came in to see
them as well but the race was
awesome, said Marcela Rid-
dick, 13, of Los Angeles, and
winner of the second race of
the night. I got a little nervous
at the start, but, we did it. I had
a great time. Ill try and be back
next year, but, I knowImgoing
to try and find some more like
this back home.
While the camp drew some
members from outside our
backyard, it certainly didnt go
unnoticed around here.
I want to get a job here in
the summer, so I thought this
would be a good idea said Bob-
by Kelly, 15, of Pittston, who
finished so close to Sarah Kala-
da in the first race that a mo-
ment of instant replay was
provided to spectators to deter-
mine who won. I was a little
nervous at the start of the race
tonight because the horse I was
originally supposed to race got
switched out. But then things
got going out on the track and I
felt pretty good about it. Over-
all, I think the experience will
be a help next summer when I
come and apply to work here.

HARNESS
SCRANTON Hitting trou-
bles are a typical burdenfor Grea-
ter Pittston its exceptional
pitching usually makes up for
that.
Committing untimely errors
was just something the team
couldnt overcome in the Ameri-
can Legion Region 5 Tourna-
ment.
Defensive mistakes a com-
mon theme for the Wyoming Val-
ley League champions led to
two unearned runs as Greater
Pittston fell to Milton 3-1 in the
first round. Greater Pittston
moves to the losers bracket
where it will face Valley View on
Sunday at 8 a.m. at Connell Park
in Scranton.
Its been our downfall all
year, Greater Pittston coach
DrewWhyte said. I was just tell-
ing our kids in the dugout that
there are three phases to the
game: our pitching has been the
best; our hitting has been in the
middle; and our defense has been
a failure all year. If our defense
holds up and things go our way,
its a 2-1 win.
A pair of Greater Pittston mis-
cues allowed two runs to score in
the third inning. Aball thrown in-
to the outfield advanced a runner
to third base, and then a botched
relay exchange enabled Tyler
Moyer to score a Miltons second
run of the inning.
Greater Pittston briefly cut the
lead in half in the seventh before
another miscue scored a run. Dy-
lan Maloney pitched a ball short
of the plate, allowing Reynaldo
Adames to move to third before
tallying Miltons third run on a
Damian Moyer single.
We didnt make any mistakes
and capitalized on the ones that
they made, Milton coach Dave
Byers said. Thats the difference
in the game.
Milton starting pitcher Cody
Shaffer carried a perfect game in-
tothefifthinning. P.J. Bonehit an
opposite-field single to break up
Shaffers string. Catcher Brady
Chappell proceeded to throwout
Bone at secondto endthe inning.
Shaffer finished with seven
strikeouts while throwing 125
pitches, and Greater Pittston
managed just five runners on
base against the righty.
I dont know what the prob-
lem was with us at the plate but
we really struggled, Whyte said.
Hey, it is what it is. Offensively,
we were just very lackluster. I
was surprised actually with how
many times we struck out. We
just didnt put the bat on the
ball.
Shaffers counterpart was
equally as impressive if not bet-
ter. Greater Pittstons Dylan Mal-
oney struck out nine batters, did
not allowa walk, and yielded two
earned runs.
His stuff was just outstanding,
and he hit every spot tonight,
Whyte said. Ive seen himthrow
a no-hitter already this year, but
this is the best Ive seen him
throw all season.
Greater Pittston squandered a
shot at tying the game in the sev-
enth with two runners in scoring
position. A 6-4-3 double play left
it with only one run to show for
after Kody Nowicki and Ron
Mustoreachedbase withnoouts.
Nowicki led Greater Pittston
with a run and a hit.

MADISON, Miss. Scott
Stallings took a four-stroke lead
on Saturday at the True South
Classic after shooting 6 under
through the first 10 holes of the
third round at Annandale Golf
Club.
Stallings made four birdies
andaneaglebeforedarkness sus-
pended play, and is at 18 under
for the tournament. The 27-year-
oldis tryingfor his secondcareer
PGATour victory. Hell continue
his round on Sunday morning at
8 a.m. ET.
Billy Horschel, Heath Slocum
and Jason Bohn are tied for sec-
ond place at 14 under.
The tournament has been
plagued by heavy rain, with one
weather-related delay during
each of the first three days. Only
a handful of players finished
their thirdroundonSaturday, in-
cluding William McGirt, who
shot an 8-under 64 and was five
strokes back.
P R O G O L F
Scott Stallings jumps into True South Classic lead
Kurt Landes isnt shy about
putting on a show, even if it
seems there isnt really a need for
one.
The IronPigs general manager
turned Wednesdays announce-
ment that the Phillies and the
highly successful Triple-A affil-
iate had extended their Player
Development Contract for the
next four years -- an agreement
that no one doubted would hap-
pen, and that many had taken for
granted -- into a semi-lavish Pigs
to the Bigs Award Show produc-
tion that featured a 10-minute
video of red carpet interviews
of the likes of Phillies players
Vance Worley and Chooch
Ruiz, along with current Iron-
Pigs KevinFrandsen andTyler
Cloyd and the IronPigs mascots.
That was followed by the offi-
cial announcement in an Acade-
my Awards-style presentation
that named the IronPigs-Phillies
relationship the award for best
minor league affiliation, com-
plete with Landes doing an ex-
tended I want to thank ..
speech.
It was a great little skit, Steve
Noworyta, the Phillies assistant
director for player personnel
who Landes convinced to take
part in the production, said with
a smile. He kind of forewarned
me and I could have been a little
more reactionary with it -- I guess
I was a little stiff.
We always like to do things in
a fun and unique way, Landes
said, adding that the extension is
something worth celebrating.
The four-year extension is the
maximum permitted under the
agreement between Major
League and Minor League Base-
ball. The current agreement
dates back to the 2007 season,
when the Phillies switched their
Triple-A affiliation from Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre to Ottawa in
anticipation of that franchise
shifting to Allentown the follow-
ing year, and was renewed for the
first time during the 2008 sea-
son.
Ive had the opportunity to
work with many, many different
affiliations with Major League
teams, and the Philadelphia Phil-
lies truly represent a class orga-
nization, and not just because of
their on-field success but just be-
cause theyre a great organiza-
tion with great people.
The real winners are all of
you, for what youve done in the
past fewyears, Noworyta added.

fore with his son and C.J.s father, Cosmo.
Cosmo was an all-state player at Berwick
before playing collegiately at The Citadel.
Heres what I always say about a coach
coaching his son, George Curry said. Its a
great experience if hes good. I coached Cos.
He was an outstanding kid, tough player,
outstanding wrestler. It was easy. (Former
Mount Carmel coach) Jazz Diminick, I talk-
ed to him, he coached five of his boys. It was
easy. They were pretty good football players.
I think thats the main reason (C.J.) is
going to do well. Hes No. 3 in his class. Hes
a brilliant kid, knows the system. And hes a
rookie, but he handles himself well.
C.J. wasnt immune from criticism during
Saturdays passing scrimmage at Crispin
Field as George Curry snapped at his grand-
son for missing an open receiver.
Hes hard on me, but I love it, C.J. said.
He pushes me as hard as he can to make me
the best player I can be. Same goes for the
whole team. He pushes us all. We love it and
respond really well to it.
Ive learned so much these last few
weeks. Its just unbelievable the things that I
learned so far.
BERWICK The waterboy-turned-quar-
terback knows more about the legendary
coach than any other Berwick football play-
er.
Its because the coach, George Curry, is
also C.J. Currys grandfather.
Id been the waterboy here for as long as I
can remember, said C.J., a junior who will
likely inherit the vacant quarterback posi-
tion. Since I can remember walking, I re-
member being in this fieldhouse. Going out
to the practice field and watching themprac-
tice. Ive always dreamed of being under the
lights on Friday and trying my best.
The opportunity to do so for his grandfa-
ther appeared to end when George Curry
resigned after the 2005 season. His return
on an interim basis revived the chance.
Its awesome, C.J. said. I cant wait for
the season to start. Its always been a dream
to play for him. I mean, I loved coach (Gary)
Campbell, I loved the teambefore. But weve
really adapted to his system well and were
all having a great time playing.
George Curry has been down this path be-
SouthernColumbia, Curry let himknow
about it.
Its beena great experience, senior re-
ceiver/defensive back Jake Pecorelli said.
Discipline is the No. 1thing that took a big
jump fromlast year to this year. Alot of kids
are listening more just because its Coach.
Everybody has beenwanting to play for
himfor years.
Its a sentiment running throughout the
program, where generations of families have
playedfor the states all-time leader invicto-
ries with413.
Ive wantedplay for Curry since I was
little, tight end/defensive endBrandon
Dalberto said. My dadplayedfor him. I used
to come andwatchthe games andthe fire-
works, stuff like that.
Curry saidthat only a thirdof the offense
has beeninstalled. The defense, whichal-
lowed30 or more points four times in2011, is
a little behindschedule. Special teams
havent beena major priority yet.
The playbook is definitely a challenge
because we only hada summer to learn
basically a whole newsystem, Pecorelli
said. But were coming along. Were picking
stuff up pretty quick.
Curry, though, cautionedthat his past
success doesnt meanimmediate returns.
Thats automatic. They think that be-
cause it happenedthat way, Curry said.
Yougot to winthe first game first. Thenthe
second. Thenyoubuildsome momentum
andhope youcanwinthendistricts. Then
whenyouwinthe districts, yougo from
there. Youhave to stay healthy andyoucant
lose any players.
There are some teams out there that are
pretty darngood.

A watershed moment
By JOHN ERZAR
jerzar@timesleader.com
SOUTHBEND, Ind. Former
Michigan coach Lloyd Carr says
hes not qualified to offer an opin-
ion on whether a statue of Joe Pa-
terno on the Penn State campus
shouldbetakendowninthewake
of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
Carr made his comments Sat-
urday night during an interview
session with reporters before he
was enshrined in the College
Football Hall of Fame.
Critics have called for the
sculpture to be taken down after
the Freeh report concluded that
Paterno was aware of the 1998 al-
legations against Sandusky and
that the former Nittany Lions
head coach was involved in the
decision to hide a 2001 incident
from authorities.
The Freeh reports conclusions
about Paterno were very difficult
to hear, Carr said.
Its really a hard issue for peo-
ple who knew him from this
standpoint: Nobody, nobody de-
fends what happened to those
kids, Carr said. And the jury
spoke to that. But you know the
environment is such that a lot of
people find that very difficult to
say anything positive, you know.
And that was not the Joe Paterno
I knew.
Carr said the most important
issue is healing for the victims.
We can all hope that those
kids who are now men that they
receive some justice, as much as
they can because what they en-
dured was beyond comprehen-
sion, Carr said.
And he said whatever deci-
sions are made by the school or
the NCAA on the programs fu-
ture this much is certain:
Theyd better get it right. And
what that is, I dont know, he
said.
Carr coached the Wolverines
for 13 years, had a .753 winning
percentage, won five Big Ten
championships and captured a
national title.
Also honored at ceremonies
Saturday night were former Ohio
State running back and Heisman
Trophy winner Eddie George and
Deion Sanders, the Florida State
defensive back who went on to
play in both the World Series and
the Super Bowl as one of the
most versatile athletes ever.
George said hed narrowed his
choices for colleges down to
Penn State and Ohio State and af-
ter a trip to an empty stadium in
Columbus, Ohio, where he just
looked around and felt the cold,
he made his decision on the spot.
It just feels right, like I can do
great things here at Ohio State,
George recalled. And he did, win-
ning the Heisman as a senior and
going on to a standout NFL ca-
reer.
Also enshrined were: Carlos
Alvarez, WR, Florida; Chris Bi-
saillon, WR, Illinois Wesleyan;
Doug English, DT, Texas; Bill

Belmont Stakes winner
Union Rags has been retired be-
cause of a tendon injury in his
left front leg.
The announcement on Satur-
day came a week after the colts
veterinarian had said he would
be out with the injury but that
his prognosis was excellent
for a return to the races next
year.
Russell Jones, bloodstock ad-
viser to the colts owner Phyllis
Wyeth, says Union Rags is a
pretty attractive stallion pros-
pect and that there has been a
high level of interest in the
horse with his retirement.
Trained by Michael Matz,
Union Rags won the Saratoga
Special as a 2-year-old, the
Champagne Stakes and was bea-
ten by a head by Hansen after a
troubled trip in the Breeders
Cup Juvenile.
As a 3-year-old, he won the
Fountain of Youth Stakes, fin-
ished third in the Florida Derby
and seventh in the Kentucky
Derby after being squeezed at
the start of this years race.
The colt skipped the Preak-
ness and then won the 1
1
2-mile
Belmont after wearing down pa-
cesetter Paynter to take the fi-
nal leg of the Triple Crown un-
der jockey John Velazquez.
Jones said no decision has
been made on where Union
Rags will stand as a stallion, but
he said Wyeth prefers the horse
remain in the U.S.
Its a love affair she had with
this horse, and she doesnt want
him to go somewhere where she
cant find him, Jones said.

BARCELONA, Spain They carry
cameras and microphones, sprinting to-
ward Kobe Bryant like Christmas shop-
pers who just spotted the it gift sitting
on shelves.
Their questions come quickly, some
inEnglish, many inSpanish, andBryant
gives the perfect answer every time.
Yes, Spain is an incredible team that
can pose problems for the U.S.
No, Pau Gasol isnt getting traded
from the Lakers as long as he is there.
The only thing Bryant cant seem to
explain to reporters is why hes so much
more popular than his teammates on
the Olympic basketball team.
I dont know. I dont know where it
comes from or how that happens, he
said Saturday with a laugh. It all start-
edwiththeDreamTeaminterms of bas-
ketball becoming so global. When I
came into the NBA, I kind of inherited
kind of the globalization of the game,
andthenhavinggrownupoverseas they
really kind of laid claim to me because
this is where I learned how to play the
game, is overseas.
Chris Paul figures Bryant owes it to
the way hes won and carried himself
throughtheyears alongwithoneoth-
er thing.
A lot of its got to do, too, that he
plays for the Lakers. I learnedthat, too, I
learned that quick, Paul said. Every-
where you go, shoot, the Lakers, they
never play a road game. Only time they
might play a road game now is in Okla-
homa City.
Bryant is not the best player on the
U.S. team, probably just cracking the
top three at this stage of his career. Yet
for as good as LeBron James, Kevin Du-
rant or any other U.S. player is, none
draws the attention of Bryant once the
Americans leave home.
Well, hes beendoingit for16years in
the NBA and in those 16 years the ac-
complishments are incredible. I mean,
theyre worthy of a top-five player in the
history of the game, really, U.S. coach
Mike Krzyzewski said. And then hes
been so visible, been all over the world.
In others words, hes traveled all over in
the offseason. Even when were on this
tour, hes a guy that gets out, meets
people. I think he has just made a
commitment to being out there
andas a result, youknow, peo-
ple follow him.
The Americans still mar-
vel at the frenzy surround-
ing Bryant four years ago in
Beijing. U.S. assistant Mike
DAntoni once joked that the
thunderous Kobe! Kobe!
chants duringthe openingcere-
monies had even James,
Dwyane Wade and Carmelo An-
thony going, What are we, pot-
ted plants?
Bryant hadmade multiple pro-
motional trips to the Far East by
then and kept going out even
duringthe Olympics tosee oth-
er sports. He was already better
known than most players be-
cause of all his All-Star appear-
ances and five NBA champion-
ships.

Rogge plays down fears
of brand police
IOC President Jacques Rogge says
there will be a balanced and reason-
able response from organizers to fans
wearing unofficial brands at the Lon-
don Olympics.
Rogge says no action will be taken
against individuals if the logos on their
T-shirts, for example, are of compet-
itors to official sponsors.
Rogge adds common sense will
prevail but warned that Olympic spon-
sors rights would be protected and a
blatant attempt at ambush marketing
would result in intervention by the IOC
and the local organizing committee.
Head organizer Sebastian Coe had
suggested there would be a strong
response to fans with unofficial brand-
ing, telling a radio station a person
with a Pepsi T-shirt wouldnt be al-
lowed into an Olympic venue because
soft drink rival Coca-Cola is a main
sponsor.
No mention of 72
at opening ceremony
IOC President Jacques Rogge has
rejected the latest calls for a minutes
silence to be observed at the opening
of the London Olympics for the 11
Israeli team members killed by Pal-
estinian gunmen at the 1972 Munich
Games.
The IOC has come under pressure
from politicians in the United States,
Israel and Germany to commemorate
the 40th anniversary of the Munich
massacre at next Fridays opening
ceremony of the London Games.
Rogge says the IOC will pay homage
to the slain Israeli athletes and coaches
at a reception in London during the
games and will attend a ceremony in
Germany on the anniversary of the
killings on Sept. 5.
But Rogge reiterated the IOCs posi-
tion Saturday against a minutes silence
during the London opening ceremony.
He says we feel that the opening
ceremony is an atmosphere that is not
fit to remember such as a tragic in-
cident.
IOC rules out immediate
sanctions in ticket probe
The IOC will not take disciplinary
action before the London Olympics
against officials accused of illegal ticket
sales.
The IOC opened an ethics investiga-
tion last month after Britains Sunday
Times newspaper reported that nation-
al Olympic committee officials and
ticket agents in several countries were
willing to offer tickets on the black
market.
The paper turned its evidence over
to the IOC, which was still reviewing
it.
The evidence was a huge file, IOC
President Jacques Rogge said Saturday,
and a decision would likely take
months.
Lighter of cauldron picked
The decision on who will light the
cauldron at the opening ceremony of
the London Olympics has been made,
apparently.
British Olympic Association chief
executive Andy Hunt says he and Lon-
don organizing committee counterpart
Paul Deighton have come to a mutual-
ly agreeable solution.
Hunt, however, would not identify
who will get the honor, but pledged
that it will be a wow moment.
Hunt also says that Oscar-winning
director Danny Boyle, the man behind
Fridays opening ceremony, has also
tried to influence the decision by mak-
ing recommendations.
Hunt says we can chose to support
or not to support the recommenda-
tions.

Getting to know the mascot
Children climb onto a sculpture of the
Olympic mascot Wenlock on the south
bank of the River Thames in London,
Saturday. The Games opening cere-
monies are on Friday.
ISTANBUL Sue Bird was
happy to be playing basketball
again.
Bird left the U.S. womens
Olympic team last Sunday after
learning that her stepfather Den-
nis had died of a heart attack.
After spending last week mourn-
ing with her family she joined
the team in Turkey on Saturday.
Its been emotional. Obvious-
ly he wasnt my father, but has
been in my life for 16 years. He
meant so much to my mom,
said Bird, fighting through tears.
These things are tough. Its
good to be back, everyones been
so great. In a way even though
Im not with my biological fam-
ily this is an extension. They
make me laugh and I dont have
to think about anything else so
its really nice.
Bird, who missed exhibition
games against Brazil and Bri-
tain, said there was never any
doubt that she would still play in
the Olympics.
If I had a penny for every
time somebody at the wake or
funeral said to me Dennis wants
you to go win a gold medal, she
said. I know I was where I was
supposed to be the last week
and I feel like Im where Im sup-
posed to be now.
Bird fondly remembered the
man who had been a huge part
of her basketball career from her
high school days at Christ the
King in New York to her college
years at Connecticut.
He was always around. He
was the kind of guy who was ve-
ry infectious and always in a
good mood, she said. He litera-
lly never was in a bad mood. Al-
ways wanting to be friends with
everyone, supporting everyone.
Forget me, he thought these
guys were his daughters as well.
Thats the way he treated every-
one. He was great for my mom.
They were very good for each
other, good companions, shes
going to miss him a lot and we
all are.
Bird arrived in Turkey at 6
a.m. and didnt look jet-lagged at
all. She played 19 minutes, scor-
ing eight points and dishing out
five assists in the Americans
109-55 rout of Croatia.
I didnt know what to ex-
pect, U.S. coach Geno Auriem-
ma said. Thats why I didnt
start her, wanted her to get into
the game at her own pace. Sues
not ever not ready to play. So Im
not surprised where she came
out and played well, hit some
shots.

LONDON The
Olympic torch has
begun its tour of Lon-
don and to every-
ones relief, the weather
is cooperating.
After weeks of unsea-
sonably chilly temper-
atures and miserable
rain, the sun came out
Saturday as thousands
of people turned out to
watch the flame begin
its seven-day trip of the
Olympic host city.
The torch arrived
late Friday in the city
with a dramatic en-
trance, abseiled from a
helicopter by a Royal
Marine to the Tower of
London on the shore of
the River Thames.
After a night locked
inside the Jewel House
of the 11th century
landmark, the torch
started a journey
through London that took it from a
historic ship to a shiny new shop-
ping mall.
From the Royal Observatory in
Greenwich, the home of Greenwich
Mean Time (GMT), the torch was
carried to the Cutty Sark, a newly
restored 140-year-old ship docked in
the Thames.
Nadia Comaneci, the legendary
Romanian gymnast who won nine
Olympic medals in the 1976 and
1980 games, and former basketball
player John Amaechi took the torch
to the roof of the North Greenwich
Arena, the venue for the gymnastics
events and basketball finals.
You know it doesnt seem like its
been 36 years ago, Comaneci, the
first female gymnast to be awarded
a perfect 10 score in an Olympic
gymnastics event, told the BBC. Its
hard to believe that what Ive done
then people still remember. So Im
very honored to be here.
Phillips Idowu, a champion triple
jumper for Team Great Britain, later
took the torch to the Westfield mall,
Europes biggest, next to the Olym-
pic Park.
Saturdays torch relay also in-
cluded stints from Londons young-
est and oldest torchbearers: 12-year-
old Chester Chambers, and 101-year-
old Fauja Singh. Like most other
torchbearers, they were nominated
by their communities.
The torch, which has already
traveled across Britain for more than
60 days, will continue to tour Lon-
dons streets until it ends its journey
at the Olympic Stadium for the
opening ceremony in the capital on
July 27.

Wiggins is a three-time Olym-
pic track champion who made
the difficult transition to road
racing. He crashed out the Tour
a year ago with a broken collar-
bone. He envied Australias Ca-
del Evans, who hadthe elationof
winning the yellow jersey.
That was my motivation: I
want to feel what hes feeling,
Wiggins said.
The Team Sky leader obliter-
ated the pack in the 33-mile ride
from Bonneval to Chartres and
punched the air and shouted as
he crossed the finish line.

too far ahead for any competitor
to erase his lead over the 75-mile
ride from Rambouillet.
After Saturdays stage, with
victory secure, Wiggins sighed
and looked skyward as he hoist-
ed the winners bouquet.
I have a lot of emotion right
now, he said. Its the stuff of
dreams to win the final time trial
and seal the Tour.

CHARTRES, France For
Bradley Wiggins, the cham-
pagne on the Champs-Elysees is
about to flow.
He all but locked up the Tour
de France title with a tour-de-
force performance to win the fi-
nal time trial putting him on
the cusp of becoming the first
Briton to win cyclings show-
piece race.
Wiggins blewaway the field in
Saturdays race against the clock
in Stage 19, his second Tour vic-
tory this year in a time trial, his
specialty.
I really wanted to go out
there and finish with a bang, and
fortunately I was able to do
that, said Wiggins, noting he re-
alized the breadth of emotion
when he spotted his mechanic in
tears.
Even before the Tour started,
Wiggins was the favorite. The
32-year-old rider took the yellow
jersey in Stage 7. Then came
questions about the unity of his
Sky Team, pre-race preparations
and his ability to get up moun-
tains all of which he put to
rest.
There was also the absence of
two-time Tour champion and cy-
cling superstar Alberto Conta-
dor, who is serving a doping ban.
That led many to wonder wheth-
er Wiggins was really the sports
best.
Wiggins has been vocal in his
criticism of doping in cycling
and said the sport may be chang-
ing after the sports governing
body put toughcontrols inplace.
I think the Tour is a lot more
human now with everything the
UCI is doing, he said, suggesti-
ng that dopers and their in-
termittently astonishing per-
formances are being driven
from the sport.
gins has a 3:21lead over Froome,
who is second. Italys Vincenzo
Nibali is third, 6:19 back.
Riders set off one-by-one in
the race against the clock in re-
verse order of the standings, and
Wiggins dominance was evi-
dent from the first time check.
He was 12 seconds ahead of
Froome after 8
1
2 miles.
Wiggins had a formidable lead
coming into the stage. His only
threat of any kind was from
Froome, a successful time-trial
rider, and less so from Nibali,
who is not quite as strong in this
discipline.
Despite rumblings about be-
hind-the-scenes competition be-
tween them, Froome proved a
faithful teammate to the end.
As we saw today, hes stron-
ger than me, Froome told
French TV, after hugging Wig-
gins. Im very happy. The (Sky)
goal this year was to win the
Tour with Bradley. To be second
(for me) is an added plus.
The big question mark con-
cerned the riders below them:
Whether young American Tejay
Van Garderen could overtake
Jurgen Van Den Broeck for
fourth he didnt. Or whether
Frenchman Pierre Rolland, a
strong climber but not a time
trialer, would stay in the top 10
he did.
The main change at the top in-
volved Evans. He was passed by
BMC teammate Van Garderen
despite a three-minute head
start and fell one spot to seventh
in the overall standings.

JOLIET, Ill. Chicagoland
Speedway is about the closest
thing Danica Patrick has to a
home track in NASCAR.
Although the 1.5-mile oval on
the outskirts of Chicagos south-
west suburbs didnt play a part
in her early racing career it
didnt open until 2001 its on-
ly about 100 miles away from
her hometown of Rockford, Ill.
That means shell have plenty
of family and friends here for to-
days NASCAR Nationwide race.
As a kid, I loved going into
the city, downtown Chicago,
Patrick said before Saturdays
practice. Its a beautiful place. I
know were a little bit away from
there, but Ive got some friends
coming out to the track this
weekend, so itll be a couple ex-
tra people than normal. But its
close to home, and thats good,
and Ill see a few familiar faces.
And based on her 10th-place
run last June, shell also have a
shot at a pretty good finish. Pa-
trick was second-fastest in Sat-
urday afternoons final practice
session.
As Patrick continues her tran-
sition from IndyCar to NAS-
CAR, she said shes most com-
fortable on intermediate-length
tracks with banked turns such as
Chicagoland.
Although racing a stock car is
much different than racing an
IndyCar at any track, Patrick
said the way a stock car handles
on a track such as Chicagoland
is the most similar sensation to
what she experienced in Indy
racing.
In addition to running a full
Nationwide Series schedule this
season, shes also running part-
time in the Sprint Cup Series.
She recently
added a track
thats similar to
Chicagoland
Kansas Speed-
way to her
Sprint Cup
schedule.
For me, I
feel like mile-
and-a-half, big-
ger tracks, and
the higher-grip
tracks of those,
I feel like theres
just a little bit
more of a simi-
larity to where I
came from, Pa-
trick said. With the way that it
loads up in the corner and the
way that you can feel car pick up
G-forces in the corner and you
can feel the (suspension) load.
As opposed to the slippery or
flatter tracks, slower tracks.
Patrick acknowledges that she
isnt yet as comfortable at short
tracks or tracks without bank-
ing. But she said she felt better
when Kasey Kahne, a fellow
driver from an open-wheel back-
ground, told her that he had a
tough time learning flat tracks
as well not that it showed
much last week, when Kahne
won the Sprint Cup Series race
at New Hampshire.
It didnt really show that he
struggles at short tracks, just be-
cause of the fact that he won,
Patrick said. But he said that
they took the longest for him to
get used to as well. Both of us
kind of having our open-wheel
backgrounds, I think that it was
almost a relief sometimes to
hear, to understand a little bit
more why the short tracks are a
little bit harder.
While plenty of established
NASCAR stars started out in
open-wheel racing, Patrick said
drivers who took the traditional
path from short-track racing to
stock cars might be better pre-
pared for some tracks.

t was a brutal scene in the swamp.
Gently gliding my 10-foot jonboat
across the shallow, stagnant water,
I noticed ripples on the surface ahead.
As I guided the boat closer to in-
vestigate, a stump-like foot with four
thick, nail-like claws stretched above
the surface. Seconds later the enor-
mous head of a snapping turtle lunged
out, spraying water out of its nostrils
and emitting a wicked hiss.
I sat in the boat less than two feet
away, when another snapper emerged
and raked its claws over the face of the
other.
The fight was on.
The opponents were evenly
matched. Both turtles were quite large
I judged them to be 25 to 30 pounds,
protected by an armored carapace,
thick legs and heads the size of a brick.
The weapons? Thick, spike-like
claws four on each foot, and powerful
jaws that can clamp down with 1,000
pounds of biting pressure.
Throw in a nasty temper, and this
was one fight that would take center
stage in the swamp.
Seated safely in the jonboat, I
watched turtles wrestle for position
with their front legs while viciously
snapping at each others heads.
Necks outstretched, the snappers
hissed and made surprisingly quick
lunges, snapping their jaws and clamp-
ing down with relentless force.
Water splashed and mud churned
from the bottom of the swamp as the
turtles went at it.
Then they stopped.
The muddy water settled and the
ripples faded away. One turtle clutched
the others head in its jaws and held it
under the surface.
I thought one turtle was trying to
drown the other as it desperately reac-
hed with its front feet, trying to pull
itself up. After nearly 30 seconds had
passed, the submerged turtle erupted
through the surface, spraying water
from its nose and hissing violently
before swinging its head and clamping
on to its opponents skull.
The fight resumed with snapping
jaws and stabbing claws. At this stage,
both turtles had several deep gashes on
their heads, but neither showed no sign
of giving up.
And despite my boat floating less
than two feet away, neither combatant
paid me any attention.
As the fight ensued, I wondered
what would cause two snapping turtles
to attack so visciously. It was late in
the year for breeding to take place, and
this certainly wasnt what was taking
place now.
With the lack of rain, the swamp was
extremely low. Perhaps the decreasing
water level caused the territories of the
two turtles to overlap, and what I was
witnessing was a turf battle.
The low water and hot conditions
may have put the snappers under more
stress as well, causing them to be more
aggressive and ill-tempered.
After a minute of biting, wrestling
and clawing, both turtles suddenly
stopped. They pulled back their out-
stretched necks and, facing each other,
slowly drifted apart.
The snappers submerged the heads
so only the tops of their broad shells
protruded above the muddy water.
The turtles stayed this way for a
while as the swamp quieted down.
Thankful for the show, I eased the
boat away as the battle-weary turtles
continued to float on the surface.
Life at the swamp began to return
birds darted after insects, dragonflies
hovered above the water and green
frogs called from the marshy edges.
And the pair of snapping turtles gave
up the fight, for now, and sunk into the
muddy depths.

When it comes to the possible impact of
forest fragmentation caused by drilling for
natural gas, Dr. Anthony Serino is thinking
small.
Serino, who is the chair of the Depart-
ment of Biology at Misericordia University,
doesnt necessarily believe any impact
from pipelines and access roads will be
small. He really doesnt have any idea.
But Serino will attempt to gauge the
impact by studying the effects on small
mammals mice, voles, rats and chip-
munks to name a few.
With the help of Misericordia biology
students, Serino will embark on a three-
year study to see what impact the forest
fragmentation resulting from roads and
pipelines has on small mammals. The
study will focus on wooded areas of Lu-
zerne and Wyoming counties.
Serino has already secured agreements
with the Williams Company, which is
constructing pipelines, and Chesapeake
Energy, to study their sites. He is currently
working on obtaining permission from
landowners before the work can begin.
We selected suitable habitats which
consist of an impacted area and an ad-
jacent forest that doesnt have too much
human encroachment, Serino said. We
want to gauge how far the impact is into
the forest.
Although the study will begin in the
near future, Serino suspects they will see a
change in distribution with some small
mammal species.
Youre basically going from a deep for-
est, to an open area which is the pipeline
or road and back to a forest, Serino said.
He added that some species could also
be attracted to the disturbed areas, espe-
cially the edges of roads and pipelines,
because food sources could be more acces-
sible.
The small mammals will be captured in
live traps baited with peanut brittle. They
will be weighed, measured and tagged
before being released. Hair samples will
also be collected for DNA analysis.
Initially, the mammals will be fitted with
identification tags as Serino and his stu-
dents determine population densities.
Later, Serino said, radio frequency tags
could be used which will allow the move-
ment patterns of each mammal to be
tracked.
The small mammal study is one of sever-
al taking place to determine the impact of
gas drilling. According to Thomas Murphy,
co-director of the Marcellus Center for
Outreach and Research, Penn State Coop-
erative Extension, there are studies under-
way focusing on avian species and invasive
weed populations related to the impact of
gas drilling.
(The small mammal) study fits in with
the parameter of others that are being
done by other colleges and universities,
Murphy said. Its a great opportunity for
students to be a part of such a timely
study.
In order to capture and study small
mammals, Serino had to apply for a permit
from the Pennsylvania Game Commission,
which manages birds and mammals in the
state.
The agency has an interest in the study
and the findings could be incorporated
into the revised Wildlife Action Plan in
2015.
The plan addresses all mammal species
and the data from this study will help us
identify the status of small mammals, said
Bill Williams, information and education
supervisor for the PGCs Northeast Region.
If there is an indication that a species may
be impacted, its possible that could be
addressed in future lease agreements that
the Game Commission enters into.
The Williams Companies Foundation
contributed $20,000 to the study, while
Chesapeake has provided $24,000.
Despite the financial help, Serino said
the study will not be biased.
What Id like to see is as small an im-
pact on the habitat as possible, but were
not going to side with anybody, he said.
Its simply whatever the data shows us.
Most of the work will take place in the
late spring, summer and early fall, when
small mammals are most active. Serino
said the study fits in well with the work
being done on other species to present a
more complete picture on the impacts of
gas drilling and forest fragmentation.
You want to look at all aspects of the
forest, he said. This is another level of
that, and all these studies are basically
looking at the possible effects of doing
anything to the forest. Im sure well look
at more areas as time goes on.
Local doctor will examine forest fragmentation

Rose wins Big Boy rifle
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Fred Rose of Chinchilla, pictured, won a Henry Big Boy
.44 magnum rifle in a raffle hosted by the Factoryville
Sportsmens Club last week. Second-place prize was won
by P. McDonald of Scranton; third place was Dick Dodge
of Nicholson and fourth place was Ed Darling of Auburn
Center. Proceeds benefit the clubs scholarship program.
end his long wait for a major
and he owes much of that to his
long putter. He stayed in the
game early with two key par
saves, pulled away with three
birdies around the turn and was
solid at the end Saturday for a 2-
under 68 and a four-shot lead
over Graeme McDowell and
Brandt Snedeker.
Its the fourth time in the last
nine majors that a player had a
four-shot lead with one round to
go. Rory McIlroy at the 2011
Masters is the only player who
didnt win. Scott has been so
steady all week that he has put
himself in position to become
only the fourth Open champion
with all rounds in the 60s.
It was all pretty solid stuff,
considering the circumstances
and how much trouble there is
on this golf course, Scott said.
Scott narrowly missed a 20-
foot birdie putt on the final hole
that would have given him a
share of the 54-hole Open scor-
ing record. He settled for 11-un-
der 199 and will play in the final
group with McDowell, who had
a67toget intothefinal groupfor
the secondstraight time at a ma-
jor.
Snedeker, who went from a
one-shot leadtoasix-shot deficit
insevenholes, birdiedtwoof his
last three holes to salvage a 73.
Tigers trailing
Right behindthemwere three
major champions, starting with
the guy whohas won14 of them.
Woods recovered from a sloppy
start and was within three shots
of theleadonthefront nineuntil
Scott pulled away. Woods mis-
sed a short par putt on the 15th
and didnt give himself many
good looks at birdie on the back
nine for a 70, leaving him five
shots behind. Woods has never
wona major whentrailinggoing
into the last round.
Three-time major champion
Ernie Els was solid in his round
of 68 and was six back, along
with former Masters champion
Zach Johnson, who had a 66.
Evenso, the biggest challenge
might be the weather. If the fore-
cast holds true and theres
beennoreasontobelievethat
the greatest defense of links golf
could finally arrive with wind
projected to gust up to 25 mph.
It will be in Adams hands to-
morrow if the conditions are as
straightforward as they have
been the last few days, McDo-
well said. Throw a bit of wind
across this course like perhaps
theyareforecasting, hewill have
to go and work a lot harder, and
he will have to go win it.
Hesgoingtohavetogowinit
anyway, for sure.
McDowell was sevenshots be-
hind as he walked up to the13th
green and found three birdies
coming in to get into the last
group, just as he was at Olympic
Club last month in the U.S.
Open, where he was one putt
away fromforcing a playoff.
Snedeker opened this cham-
pionship by playing 40 holes
without a bogey, and then he
couldnt buy a par. He had to
blast backward out of a bunker,
chunked a pitch shot from the
fairway, missed short putts and
was reeling.
Snedeker rolled in a birdie on
the 16th and stretched out his
arms in mock wonder, and then
finished with a birdie that could
bode well for today.
Its just one of those things
where youve got to find out if
youhave some guts or dont, he
said. I couldhavepackedupand
gone home today, but I didnt.
Going long
Scott was becoming a forgot-
ten star until he switched to the
long putter in February of last
year, and it has been the biggest
reason for the turnaround his
runner-up at the Masters last
year, winninghisfirst WorldGolf
Championship at Firestone, and
now on the cusp of his first ma-
jor.
Showing nerves on the open-
ing tee, he hit into a bunker and
played a beautiful shot from the
backof thewet sandto8feet, ho-
ling the putt for par. Scott made
another par putt from the same
distance on the third hole. And
inthemiddleof hisrunof birdies
includinga30-foot putt onthe
eighthheescapedwithpar on
the 10th hole by making one
from18 feet.
To make a nice putt like that
onthe first andmake par is obvi-
ously very settling, Scott said.
And then to do the same thing
on 3, thats been a hole that I
havent parred this week. From
there on, I was very settled into
the round and started hitting
fairways and greens.
He played it safe on the back
nine, giving himself a few good
looks, but mostly making sure
hedidnt get intopositionfor big
numbers.
Thats what I felt I needed to
do, Scott said. I didnt need to
take any risks out there.
The only drama left at the end
of the round was the size of
Scotts lead and whether Woods
could get into the final group for
another reunion with Williams,
the caddie he fired last summer
in a split that remains acrimo-
nious.
McDowell took care of that
with a late surge, starting with
birdies on the 13th and 14th
holes, anda15-foot birdieputt on
the17th.
I kind of felt the tournament
perhapsslippingawayfrommea
little bit and really had to dig
deep for some patience, McDo-
well said. From about the 14th
tee onwards, its probably about
as goodas Iveswungthecluball
week.
OPEN
LYTHAM ST. ANNES, En-
gland The week began with
hopes of the first English win-
ner of a British Open in En-
gland since Tony Jacklin at
Royal Lytham & St. Annes in
1969. Going into the final
round, the best hope is the No.
1 player in the world.
That would be Luke Donald.
He was 10 shots behind.
Donald felt like he didnt miss
a shot over the first hour Sat-
urday and was 1 under through
five holes until he tried to blast
out of a deep bunker on No. 6
to get it close enough to save
par. The gamble failed, and he
wound up with a double bogey.
Donald didnt make another
birdie until the 17th hole, and
by then it was too late. He had
to settle for a 71 that left him
too far behind Adam Scott.
Theres nothing left for him
to do Sunday but go out there
and enjoy it.
Im probably too far back to
have a chance, but as always,
Ill give a go out there, give it
my all, Donald said. You nev-
er know when youre going to
learn something, even though
you dont have a chance to win.
Try and see how good I control
the ball in the wind.
PADRAIG DOES RENO:
Padraig Harrington prefers to
play the week before a major,
and that usually means the
Bridgestone Invitational at
Firestone before the PGA
Championship, which he has
done since 2007.
One problem: Harrington
isnt eligible for the World Golf
Championship because he is
not in the top 50 in the world.
The solution?
Its the biggest little city in
America. Here I come, Reno-
Tahoe, Harrington said.
That would be the Reno-
Tahoe Open in Nevada, an op-
posite-field event with only a $3
million purse and the lowest
amount of world ranking points
on the PGA Tour. But he wants
to play, and its the only spot
available in America, even
though its on the other side of
the country from Kiawah Is-
land.
Harrington is running out of
time in his bid to make the
Ryder Cup team for Europe. He
has played on every team since
1999, and even though he is
showing some form, he is not
counting on a wild card. And
hes not consumed with the
Ryder Cup. Its all about the last
major.
Thats completely on my
mind now, he said. Ill go out
and play tomorrow, try and
shoot a good score. If I didnt
win this week ... I think I need-
ed to finish top five, anyway, to
get enough points to get into
Bridgestone. So my mind is
very much focused on getting
my game in good shape for
Kiawah Island.
ERNIES CHANCE: Ernie Els
finds himself in a familiar posi-
tion once again, chasing down a
leader at Royal Lytham & St.
Annes.
He gave it a shot but came up
short in 1996 and 2001. If hes
going to do it this time, he will
have to come from six shots
behind Adam Scott in Sundays
final round.
I feel Ive got a chance, Els
said. I feel the way Im playing,
if those putts start dropping I
can really shoot a low one. So
thats what Im hoping for.
Els shot a 2-under 68 Sat-
urday to stay on the fringe of
contention, tied for fifth with
Zach Johnson. If he is to win
the British Open for the second
time he must not only beat
Scott but leapfrog Tiger Woods
and Graeme McDowell along
the way.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Thunderstorms will be seen along much of the East and Gulf coasts as warm
and humid air continues to move into these areas. Monsoonal moisture will bring scattered thunder-
storms to the Intermountain West and Desert Southwest. Hot temperatures will remain in place for
the Plains, but a cold front will lead to slightly cooler conditions over North Dakota.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N D
timesleader.com
I
t may not seem obvious, but the
challenges facing families in this
time of job loss, depressed wages
and miniscule interest rates on savings
are shared by nonprofit organizations
that exist to help the less fortunate.
They not only are finding it harder to
raise donations, their endowments
meant to stabilize their finances have
suffered the same battering as individu-
al 401(k) plans.
Given their missions and the fact
theyre handling money entrusted to
them by others, nonprofits need to be
careful, but they also must try to make
their accounts grow to keep up with
inflation and increasing need.
Most nonprofits do not get into very
risky investments, said Bill Jones,
president of United Way of Wyoming
Valley. Even so, no question theres
been lots of ups and downs every
month.
The agencys last three federal 990
forms, the equivalent of a tax return for
nonprofits, show how bumpy the ride
has been. Net assets tumbled nearly 20
percent in the 2008 fiscal year compared
to 2007, with the majority of damage
done by a nearly $1 million reversal in
investment income. That turned around
somewhat in the year ended June 30,
2010 and along with belt tightening
helped edge assets about halfway back
to the former total.
Our endowment is there for the long
term, Jones said, and United Way
invests on the premise the investments
will bounce back. So far they have since
the lows, but not as much as we would
like.
A lot of our endowments are in-
vested in mutual funds and different
stocks and we take the risk along with
the market, he said.
Sounds a lot like the retirement ac-
counts many people are counting on to
supplement Social Security, which itself
is under attack. Having just rolled over
an IRA certificate at an exalted 0.65
percent interest rate, I understand the
pain.
And like workers who have seen their
pay stagnate while benefit and living
costs rise, the United Way and similar
organizations that serve the poor and
wounded have seen their income take a
hit. Lots of agencies are feeling the
pinch, especially with state budget
cuts, Jones said. Thats on top of re-
duced contributions from a public also
struggling to regain its financial footing.
So, as individuals should do as well,
the United Way reevaluates its portfolio
for changing times. We are gathering
information from our investment man-
agers and looking at investment philoso-
phies and where the dollars should be,
Jones said last week.
Not necessarily to take on more risk,
but were in the market and subject to
its fluctuations, he said.
There was a time when conservative
investors could sleep well knowing their
accounts were earning a safe, steady
and positive return, whether plunked
into CDs or bonds. Now, with yields so
low the risk averse stand to lose over
time even as they try simply to preserve
capital.
They have company in many of their
wealthiest countrymen, who stash bil-
lions in Treasury bills and other low-
yield but safe investments, figuring
theyd like to wake up tomorrow with as
much as they have tonight, which is
more than enough.
That means theyre resisting the siren
call to jump back in the markets trum-
peted by some of the same investment
banks and brokerages that ran the econ-
omy into a ditch and their savings into
the cellar.
Our economy and communities
would be better off if individuals and
organizations like the United Way could
get a decent return without undue risk
and we stopped using tax dollars to bail
out the bad actors.

tives core competencies: the ability

cution.

If you use words
like that, youre not
thinking about the
reader or the listen-
er. Youre thinking
about yourself or
your boss, said An-
netta Cheek, board
chairman of the Center for Plain Lan-
guage, a national nonprofit group
formed to promote clearer communi-
cation in business and government.
Cheek would like to see contracts,
product instructions, regulations and
laws written in clear, concise lan-
guage that most people can under-
stand. But thats a wish, not reality.
And that worries Tracy Russo, an
associate professor of communication
studies at the University of Kansas,
who regularly battles fuzzy words and
convoluted phrases.
We miscommunicate when we use
a term that has a specific meaning to
us but means something different to
someone else, Russo said. And
many words can convey a range of
meaning.
Such as?
Empowerment is used widely in
company mission statements to con-
vey the notion that workers have the
right or ability to make decisions and
do their work without extensive di-
rection. In practice, management can
think it means one thing, while em-
ployees see it something entirely dif-
ferent.
Innovation is claimed by many or-
ganizations. In some cases, it truly de-
scribes having the newest discovery.
In others, its just another way to say
theyre keeping up with product or so-
cial changes.

uburbansprawl, a more mobile society, sav-
vier shoppers and more options have trans-
formed the grocery industry from one in
which store loyalty kept customers to one stores
aisles to one where promotions are king and
items such as beer, gas and even cafs are seen as
a necessity to give a store an edge.
The tight economy has only hastened the revo-
lution in recent years.
Our area is not overflowing
with dollars, said Anthony Liuz-
zo, the dean of the Jay S. Sidhu
School of Business at Wilkes Uni-
versity. So every penny counts and
while shoppers plot the course that
will get them the most bang for
their buck, grocery stores are plot-
ting, too. While they offer incen-
tives such as discounted gas or
buy-one, get-one-free sales to get
shoppers in the door, stores also
constantly analyze market data,
shopping habits and competitors
to stay relevant, competitive and
attractive to both current and po-
tential shoppers.
Theres nobody in the super-
market business that doesnt watch
their competitors very closely,
saidJoe Fasula, whose family owns
nine Gerritys Supermarkets in the
region, which carry the Shur Fine
brand. Youre trying to outmaneu-
ver or mimic them if you have to.
When youre the (super)market
leader, there is no slowing down.
So Weis, with 40 stores in the 12-
county area comprising Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania, has continually
remodeled stores, added gasoline,
beer and pizza kitchens to some,
and kept sales promotions front
and center in its effort to remain

With eight grocery store
brands operating in Luzerne
County, the owner of the Gerri-
tys chain said the region is
unique, tough and highly com-
petitive.
Its the Gettysburg of the
supermarket civil war, said Joe
Fasula. And Fasula will intro-
duce a new weapon to the bat-
tlefield when he opens the
countys first Save-A-Lot in
Wilkes-Barre at the end of Au-
gust.
The no-frills, discount market
offers no deli counter, no bak-
ery and will require shoppers to
bring their own bags and pay
25 cents for a cart. Fasula pre-
dicted local shoppers will love
it.
I definitely see a future for
them, said Fasula, adding that
a store he opened in a former
Mr. Zs building in Peckville,
Lackawanna County this year
has done well and there are
plans to open one or two more
in the next couple of years.
This region is a particularly
prime spot for deep discount
stores.

profession, theres always a
learning curve to figure out ex-
actly what words or phrases
mean.
If youre new to an environ-
ment, youll soon adopt the
practices of people around
you, said John Murphy, who
founded the online MBAJar-
gonWatch site after he was ex-
posed to rounds of buzzwords,
first in business school and lat-
er in an online business star-
tup. You want to feel like you
belong. You want to use the
terms they use.
And thats a point that most
wordsmiths make: Jargon isnt
necessarily bad.
Good jargon is used within
a specific group when it helps
members of the group commu-
nicate more efficiently, Cheek
said. When everybody in the
group knows exactly what the
word or phrase stands for, they
dont have to use larger groups
of words to explain it to each
other. Its like a secret lan-
guage that insiders under-
stand.
But she warns, When its
used outside the group, others
dont knowwhat youre talking
about. Good jargon becomes
bad jargon when its used out-
side the insider circle.
Taking the time to define a
term is a relatively easy solu-
tion. Whats hard is not using
some terms in the first place.
Plain-language advocates
see noreasontouse core com-
petencies when what we do
best would be so straightfor-

number one.
A year-long, $4.7 million ex-
pansion and upgrade to the
Mountain Top store was com-
pleted last month. Shoppers
found a 3,500-square-foot expan-
sion including larger produce,
deli, meat, dairy and seafood de-
partments. A new faade and
freshened interior dcor are
among the upgrades. An eight-
pumpgas stationwas built inthe
parking lot.
We have quite literally rein-
ventedour MountainTopstore,
said Dennis Curtin, Weis Mar-
kets director of public relations.
While the price tag sounds
high, its the cost of doing busi-
ness in a more than $3 billion in-
dustry in the region.
A challenging market
The investment is taking
place in a market that Food
Trade News, a trade publication
that tracks stores that sell gro-
ceries in all or parts of New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania and Delaware,
called a negative growth, econ-
omy-impacted territory in a re-
cent annual report on the mar-
kets it serves.
According to Food Trade
News, the 10 main grocery store
chains operating in the region
pulled in $1.9 billion in sales in
the past year. Factor inthe top10
other chains that sell groceries,
such as drug stores, big box re-
tailers and convenience stores,
and sales rise to $3.1 billion.
Weis, with its 40 stores, and
the 39 markets carrying the
Shurfine or Shursave brands
rank one and two in terms of
number of stores and overall
sales by a wide margin over
third place Walmart and its 14
stores.
In Luzerne County alone,
sales at Weis six stores account-
ed for $112 million last year.
But its stores like CVS, Tur-
key Hill, Sheetz, Rite Aid and
Sams Club that are really taking
a bite out of the typical super-
markets sales and giving shop-
pers more places to spend their
grocery money.
Dollar stores, convenient
stores, even the drug stores, Li-
uzzo said, are all taking away
business from the grocers. CVS
reported $200 million in groce-
ry-related sales last year locally;
Rite Aid had $135 million. Even
Turkey Hill reported $62 million
in local grocery-related sales,
which includes tobacco prod-
ucts, food and drinks. By com-
parison, the17FoodTownstores
in the market combined to re-
port $55 million in sales last
year.
Everybody sells groceries
now, said Fasula. I was told
that Lowes (a home improve-
ment store) was selling water-
melons recently.
Curtin noted that Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania has been an in-
tensely competitive market-
place for more than two decades
and every year that competition
grows and evolves.
Shopping around
Technology and a willingness
to grab a bargain equal a newdy-
namic.
Amuchmoresavvycustomer
withthe advent of the Internet is
nowable to comparisonshop ve-
ry easily, Liuzzo said.
John Mellon, a professor of
business and marketing at Mi-
sericordia University, said socie-
ty has changed and grocery buy-
ing habits have, too. No longer
does a family make a shopping
list and head to the closest gro-
cery store and nowhere else.
Now trips to two, three, or
more stores to cherry pick sale
items or certain brands are com-
mon.
Put bluntly: The days of the
neighborhood supermarket are
gone, Mellon said.
With more people working
farther from home, they think
nothing of stopping off at stores
on their commute to grab a few
items and make shopping trips
to stores advertising big sale
items of the week. Buy-one, get-
one-free chicken breasts at Price
Chopper, a super sale on canned
soups at Redners, salmon por-
tions half off at Wegmans. Each
may be enough to get some
shoppers in the door intending
to buy only the special. That
mindset is what the stores are
hoping for.
You walk in wanting one or
two items and walk out with one
or two bags, Mellon said. Im-
pulse buying. All they needtodo
is get you in.
But gettingyouinis one thing,
keeping you coming back is an-
other.
Thats the million dollar
question, said Fasula. He said
discounted gas promotions and
other incentives work for some,
but to him Id rather just give
customers the best price possi-
ble, not make them jump
through hoops.
He said modernizing stores,
upgrading and adding small tou-
ches that customers appreciate
is the way hes gone about retain-
ing old customers and attracting
new ones.
SHOPPING
was the best market in its
tri-state coverage area for
discounters.
Fasula said he thinks the
concept would work anywhere
that isnt affluent.
I think its hard to find a
market that wouldnt accept a
Save-A-Lot at this point with
the way the economy is right
now, Fasula said.
At only 13,000 square feet
the store is smaller than a
typical Gerritys, which aver-
age 40,000 square feet. But
that means lower overhead
and fewer employees. The
store sells mostly Save-A-Lot
brand items, with about only
20 percent of its stock national
name-brands.
Fasula said he has some
concern that Gerritys custom-
ers will find their way to Save-
A-Lot, noting that weve al-
ready seen them there but
hes hoping to compete more
with Walmart and Aldi, other
lower price point stores.
Maybe we can steal them
away from (them), he said.
Fasula said hes seen a trend in
recent years in which shoppers
are willing to save money by
buying store brands and its
not slowing down.
Aldi has locations in Pittston
Township, Hazleton and King-
ston. Like Save-A-Lot, Aldi
offers no frills store-brand
items at deeply discounted
prices and requires shoppers
to rent a cart and bring their
own bags. Its seven Northeast
Pennsylvania stores reported
$49 million in sales last year,
according to Food Trade
News, which was $3 million
more than those same stores
reported a year earlier.

Q: Myboss recentlyhireda guy
who seems determined to cut me
out of theloop. Mike is aproject
manager whose job requires him
to interact with members of my
staff. He often gives themnewin-
structions without telling me,
which creates a great deal of con-
fusion. When problems arise,
Mike immediately escalates
them to our boss instead of com-
ing to me. I asked my manager to
support me by refusing to get in-
volved, but he says hes only help-
ing Mike learn the ropes. Im be-
ginning to feel shut out, and my
staff is getting frustrated. How
should I handle this?
A: Although his actions may
look like deliberate sabotage,
Mike could simply be an impa-
tient newcomer who wants to
make things happen quickly. To
give himthe benefit of the doubt,
talk with him directly and ex-
plain your concerns. This ap-
proach has the added advantage
of modeling the very behavior
you would like him to exhibit.
For example: Mike, several of
my staff members have indicated
that you and I are giving them
contradictory directions. To
avoid further confusion, I would
like to see how we might coordi-
nate our activities more effective-
ly. If you can tell me in advance
what you need from my group, I
believewecanavoidthis problem
in the future.
If Mike continues to bypass
you, its time to go back your
boss. Instead of asking him to
support you, explain how con-
flicting communications are ad-
versely affecting your team, then
askhimtohelpyouandMike find
a workable solution.
Q: ImafraidI may have made a
big career mistake. Shortly after
joining this company, I discov-
eredthat therereallyisnt enough
work to support my position. In
aneffort tokeepmeoccupied, my
boss loans me out to other staff
members, but they seem reluc-
tant to share any assignments.
My manager keeps saying that
things will ironthemselves out,
but Im not sure what he means.
Ive also found that my co-work-
ers dont communicate well, and
they have a lot of complaints
about management. I would real-
ly like to leave, but Ive only been
here a fewmonths anddont want
to look like a job-hopper.
A: Communication roadblocks
and gripes about management
are fairly commonplace, but the
big, bright red flag here is the
lack of work. If you were the only
one with time on your hands,
there would be less cause for con-
cern, but your colleagues desire
to hoard tasks may indicate a
widespread shortage.
To assess the situation, ask
your boss why work is so scarce
and how this affects your job se-
curity. If his explanation leaves
youfeelinguneasy, it maybetime
to explore other opportunities.
Assuming that your work history
is otherwise stable, interviewers
wont be too concerned about
one short-term job with a trou-
bled company.

GROWLING
Another sign of growing pessimism among investors: Theyre moving
into mutual funds that bet on declining stock prices. These types of
funds are known as bear-market mutual funds, and they attracted $12
million in June, according to Morningstar. So far this year, theyve
taken in $344 million,
compared with the $10.9
billion yanked out of
large-cap blend stock
funds. Pessimists have
gotten mixed returns so
far: Bear market funds
have offered modest gains
the last three months
because stocks fell on
worries about a weakening
economy. But bear market
funds are still down 13.8
percent for 2012 through
Tuesday.
BREAKING THE HERD
Stocks have increasingly been moving in herds, which frustrates stock pick-
ers. It hurts when all the stocks in your portfolio fall at the same time. But
one industry stands out for moving to its own rhythm: Utilities. S&P Capital
IQ looked at monthly re-
turns for the 10 industries
that make up the Standard
& Poors 500 index, going
back to November 1993. It
then measured each
industrys correlation
against the index. A corre-
lation of 1.0 means that an
industry moves in lockstep
with the index. A correla-
tion of zero means they
have no relationship. Utili-
ties were the only industry
with a correlation of less
than 0.5.

Timber stocks have sprouted this year on excitement that a recov-
ering housing market will mean more demand for lumber. Weyer-
haeuser (WY), for example, has returned 26.7 percent in 2012
through Wednesday, including dividends, compared with a 9.7
percent return for the S&P 500.
But timber stocks have
climbed so fast that some finan-
cial analysts are chopping their
ratings. BMO Capitals Stephen
Atkinson recently cut Weyer-
haeuser to Underperform purely
because of its stock price. Wey-
erhaeuser trades at 46 times its
earnings per share over the last
12 months, according to FactSet.
Thats higher than the S&P 500s
price-earnings ratio of 13 times
but close to the stocks 10-year
average of 41 times. Source: S&P Capital IQ Source: Morningstar Data through July 17

Plenty is at stake for dividend in-
vestors in the November presidential
election and its aftermath. Current
dividend income tax rates top out at
a historically low 15 percent. But
they could rise dramatically in Janu-
ary, unless Congress acts to extend
rates approved in 2003.
President Obama wants to raise
taxes on the wealthy, and top-brack-
et earners could end up paying
more than 43 percent on dividend
income. Republican challenger Mitt
Romney proposes permanently ex-
tending Bush-era tax cuts for all in-
come levels. Sudhir Nanda is T.
Rowe Prices director of quantitative
equity research and manager of the
T. Rowe Price Diversified Small Cap
Growth fund. Nanda believes any
rate increase is likely to have mini-
mal impact on prices of dividend-
paying stocks.
Might higher tax rates make divi-
dend stocks less appealing, caus-
ing dividend stock prices to fall?
Thats unlikely. About two-thirds of
dividends paid by companies in the
Standard & Poors 500 index are
paid to tax-exempt or tax-deferred
investors, such as pension funds, or
investors with 401(k) accounts or
IRAs. So theres a large part of the
market that doesnt care what the
tax rate is. If theres an impact on
dividend stock prices, it would be
very small. Some people are al-
ready anticipating an increase, so
you dont know how much might al-
ready be reflected in current stock
prices.
Would companies cut their divi-
dend payouts?
They wont substantially change pol-
icy. Most companies set up a divi-
dend policy, and try to stick to it.
They increase their dividend by a set
amount over time, or reach a certain
percentage of earnings paid out in
dividends. Its also important to re-
member that a company that cuts its
dividend in response to a tax rate in-
crease would be punishing non-tax-
able investors just to help the tax-
able investors avoid a bigger tax hit.
Historically, whats happened to
dividend stock prices after the
dividend tax rate changes?
Its hard to separate the effect of a
rate change from other market-mov-
ing events. After the current rates
were approved in 2003, it was hard
to say how much the market was re-
acting to those cuts at a time when
stocks were recovering from the
2002 bear market.
Is there anything dividend inves-
tors should consider doing now,
less than six months before the
potential rate increase kicks in?
You cant know whether Congress
and President Obama or President-
elect Romney might maintain the
same dividend tax policy, or post-
pone a decision, or come out with
some combination. Unless an inves-
tor has a compelling reason to worry
about taxes, theres not much you
can do now.

The housing market is perking up five years after it
collapsed.
Homebuilders are starting work on more projects. Sales
of new and previously occupied homes are up. Home
prices are rising in most markets.
The housing market still has a long way to regain full
health, but the data suggest that a recovery is under way.
Heres a snapshot of some recent indicators:
CONSTRUCTION: Builders broke ground in June on
the most single-family homes and apartments since
October 2008. Junes seasonally adjusted annual rate of
760,000 is only about half of the 1.5 million homes a year
thats considered healthy, but much stronger than the
annual rate of 478,000 homes at the depth of the housing
bust in April 2009.
NEW HOMES: Sales of single-family homes have
reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 369,000, the
best pace since April 2010. Despite the increases, the
level is less than half the roughly 700,000 that economists
consider healthy.
PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED HOMES: Homes sold at an
annual rate of 4.4 million in June. Thats up 4.5 percent
from a year ago, but the fewest since October. An annual
sales pace of 6 million is considered healthy.
PRICES: Prices in half the 20 cities in the Standard &
Poors/Case-Shiller home price index have risen over the
past 12 months. Even with the gains, the index remains
34 percent below its peak reached in the summer of 2006,
at the height of the housing boom.
HOMEBUILDER STOCKS: An index of 11 U.S.
homebuilder stocks, including D.R. Horton and Lennar, is
up 50 percent this year. By contrast, the Standard &
Poors 500 index is up about 9 percent.

Expectations for the economy
keep dropping. Maybe thats a sign
to get more optimistic.
In investing, expectations are
often as important as actual re-
sults. Thats why a
report that shows a
companys earnings
fell last quarter can actually lead to
a higher stock price: If the loss was
better than expectations.
Citi has an index that keeps track
of how economic reports are faring
against economists expectations.
Its called the Citi Economic Surprise
index, and its been falling for much
of 2012. Job growth last month of
80,000, for example, was weaker
than expectations for 90,000.
The index now is as low as it was
in 2010 before it shot higher in the
autumn. Its also currently approach-
ing levels where it bottomed in 2008
and 2011.

Another record low for mortgages
Mortgage rates keep dropping lower. The aver-
age rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 3.53
percent last week from 3.56 percent, according to
Freddie Mac. Its the 12th time in the last 13
weeks that it has dropped to or matched a record
low. Low Treasury yields have helped to pull
down fixed-rate mortgages. A year ago, the rate
on a 30-year fixed averaged 4.52 percent.

trading at a multiple of 10.)
You can calculate P/E ratios
based on EPS for last year, this year
or future years. Published P/E ratios
generally reflect past performance.
Intelligent investors should really
focus on future prospects by calcu-
lating forward-looking P/E ratios.
Simply divide the current stock
price by the coming years expected
EPS. Compare a companys current
P/E to its historical range, too.
Many investors seek stocks
with low P/E ratios, as they can
indicate beaten-down companies
that may rebound. But remember
that a low-P/E stock can always
fall further. And dont just fall
for a seemingly low P/E, as P/Es
vary by industry. Car manufactur-
ers and banks typically have low
P/Es (often in the single digits),
while software and Internet-related
companies command higher ones
(often north of 30).
Dont stop your research with a
stocks P/E. There are many other
numbers to examine when study-
ing a stock such as its sales and
earnings growth rates, debt level
and profit margins. Compare com-
panies to their competitors, too.

Investing in 3-D
If youre seeking stocks that offer
more risk and possible reward
than a typical blue-chip, consider
3-D printing pioneer 3D Systems
(NYSE: DDD). Its a market leader
in an emerging technology, with
only one serious competitor at the
moment, Stratasys (Nasdaq: SSYS),
which recently merged with Objet,
3-D printings third major player.
3Ds revenue, net income and free
cash flow have all been trending
solidly upward.
3D Systems is making a major
push for the home user. Its plug-
and-play printer and community
model is the first of its kind. The
Cube (and its Cubify.com commu-
nity) is similar to Hewlett-Packards
successful razor-and-blade-style
printers-and-ink model. Scale mat-
ters with such a model, though, so
3D Systems will need to appeal to
more than the hobbyists.
The companys other products
and services encompass medical
uses, aerospace applications and
more, and its service revenues are
increasing at a rapid clip.
With big potential comes big
risks, and 3D Systems is not risk-
free. Profit margin has been shrink-
ing recently, and the company
remains largely dependent on cor-
porate clients such as automakers or
defense contractors, which are fac-
ing tough times of their own.
3D Systems isnt cheap, but it
might reward long-term investors.
(The Fool owns shares of 3D Sys-
tems, and its newsletters have rec-
ommended it and Stratasys.)

The Wrong Time for GE
My dumbest investments have
been buying General Electric at
$32.50 and watching it plunge to
$6.50, and setting sell limits too
high in 2000 and watching some
stocks go to zero. B.A., Hilton
Head Island, S.C.
The Fool Responds: Those who
bought GE in the $30s have indeed
been burned, but if theyve hung on,
their losses (which are not yet
realized, since they havent
sold) have shrunk. The stock
was recently trading around
$20. The companys future is prom-
ising, too, as it invests in alternative
energies and its core businesses. Its
GE Capital unit, which got whacked
in the recent credit crisis, has turned
itself around and will resume paying
dividends to the parent company.
GEs stock has sported a dividend
yield above 3 percent lately, too.
With GE and also with your
setting sell limits too high, your
errors might have been avoided
if youd tried to determine what
your various stocks were really
worth. With overvalued ones, con-
sider selling or not buying, or be
prepared for a dip in the price. If
youre planning to hold great com-
panies for decades, simply expect
temporary downturns.

Selling
Triggers
Q
How do you know when its
time to sell a stock? E.M.,
Syracuse, N.Y.
A
Your ultimate results depend
on the price at which you
bought and sold a stock, so sell-
ing at a sensible time is critical.
Consider selling if youve found
a significantly more promising
place to put your money. (If you
find only a slightly more attractive
place, the tax hit on any capital
gains might wipe out the value of
moving your money, unless the
stock is in an IRA.)
You might also sell if the
stock is now significantly over-
priced or if the reason you bought
the stock is no longer valid.
(Perhaps the company has made
some boneheaded moves, and
you no longer have confidence
in management, for example. Or
maybe competitors are eating
the companys lunch.)
Selling is also smart if youll
need the money within three
to five years. Such short-term
money shouldnt be in stocks in
the first place.
Other selling triggers include
if you dont know much about the
company, if you cant remember
why you bought it, if youre just
holding for emotional reasons, or
if you cant explain how it makes
its money. Whenever you buy a
stock, consider jotting down the
reasons why you did and when
you might sell. Then refer
back to that paper periodically.

P/E Ratios Explained
The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio
can give you a clue as to whether
a stock is undervalued or overval-
ued. Its a measure that compares a
companys stock price to its earn-
ings per share (EPS), usually
for the previous 12 months.
Think of it as a fraction, with
the stock price on top and
the EPS on the bottom. Divide the
stocks price by EPS, and voila
the P/E. The ratio is calculated for
you at many online stock research
sites, such as finance.yahoo.com.
Imagine that Sisyphus Transport
Corp. (ticker: UPDWN) is trad-
ing at $20 per share. If its EPS for
the last year (adding up the last
four quarters reported) is $1, just
divide $20 by $1, and youll get a
P/E ratio of 20.
Note that if the EPS rises and
the stock price stays steady, the
P/E will fall and vice versa.
For example, a stock price of
$20 and an EPS of $2 yield a P/E
of 10. (In stock-talk jargon, you
might say that such a stock is

A
KRON, Ohio - Becky keeps her house a little cleaner when her husband is
serving in Afghanistan, just in case.
She knows the odds of her husband dying or suffering a serious injury
are small, yet the specter of a knock on the door haunts the edges of her
consciousness. So she clears the clutter fromthe kitchen table. She learns howto fix
the lawn tractor. She handles the finances and takes out the garbage and lets her
daughters kill their own spiders.
She wants her family to be able to run the household alone.
Just in case.
That kind of cautiousness is just one of the realities of sharing family ties with a
member of the 1 percent, the proportion of the American population serving in the
military.
Militarymembers lovedones oftenlive anexistence markedbyworryandsacrifice,
patriotismandpride. Its a jumble of emotions andcircumstances that fewoutside the
military ever experience or fully understand.
Three women with family members in the service offered a glimpse into their lives
as part of the Beacon Journals America Today project, exploring the difficult issues
that are dividing the nation. The sessions were held in conjunction with the Taylor
and Bliss institutes at the University of Akron. The participants were granted confi-
dentiality inexchange for a free-flowing conversationinvolving some difficult person-
al situations. Here are their stories.
BECKY
(Didthe Sept. 11attacks)
change his patriotism? Not
at all. Did that make him
probably anxious ingoingto
a place that he had never ex-
pected in a million years
that our country would be
using the National Guard as
regular Army personnel?
Im sure that it did stress
him out. I know that it

reaction to being called up
to active duty from the Na-
tional Guard.
I
raq and Afghanistan were
just countries on a map
when Beckys husband
enlisted in the National
Guard. Facedwithdebt after
earning a masters degree,
he sawthe Guardas a way to
get part of his student loans
repaid. He expectedtobe re-
sponding to natural disas-
ters inthe UnitedStates, not
serving half a world away.
But then al-Qaida sent
passenger planes hurtling
into the World Trade Center
andthe Pentagonandaimed
another at the White House.
Three years later, he was
on a plane to an undisclosed
location in the United
States, headedfor the first of
five deployments.
And his family in rural
Medina County, Ohio, was
headedfor struggles it never
foresaw.
For six months, Becky,
whose last name is being
withheld, and the couples
two daughters had to sur-
vive on the familys savings
while his military paycheck
was delayed by complica-
tions with the transfer of
Guard members to the regu-
lar Army. Even when the
first check finally arrived, it
was half what he makes
when hes home and work-
ing his regular job.
Becky, who volunteers at
her churchs missions pan-
try, suddenly found herself
on the receiving end.
Church members donat-
ed food. Family members of-
fered assistance.
The adjustment was
tough, but you learn to
thankGodfor thethings you
have, she said, her voice
quavering. Andyoulearnto
appreciate your support
groups around you and your
church friends and your
family members, more than
you ever thought you could
do that.
Becky has learned some-
thing else through the expe-
rience: how to be the sole
head of the household.
When her lawn tractor
broke down, she had to fig-
ure out how to fix it. When
the bills need to be paid, she
writes the checks. When the
familys vehicles need rou-
tine maintenance, she takes
care of them.
She teaches her daugh-
ters to be self-sufficient, too.
She knew her efforts were
paying off when the lawn
tractor broke down and her
younger daughter used the
familys four-wheeler and a
winch to tow it back to the
house.
Always, in the back of
Beckys mind, theres this re-
alization: If he doesnt
come home, we need to do
this stuff long term.
The family manages dur-
ing his absences and rejoic-
es when he returns. But
even then, life is far from
simple.
Every time her husband
returns, Becky must revert
to sharing the parenting and
the decision-making. She
has to bend the routine she
has so carefully crafted and
let him back into the fam-

live as if bad news is imminent

FEW INSTANCES are
more refreshing than
the sound of a politic-
ian leaving office.
This isnt because
we want to see them
go, necessarily
(though this, too, can
be delicious), but because they tend to
speak truthfully upon their departure.
One such delectable nugget tum-
bled recently from the lips of retiring
Democratic Rep. Gary Ackerman of
New York. Reflecting on his 30 years
in Washington, Ackerman was asked
to comment on the relative lack of
comity on Capitol Hill. Did it ever
exist?
Not really, he said, but at least Dem-
ocrats and Republicans used to be
friends. Today, crossing the aisle is
tantamount to treason. The problem
isnt only Washington but society as a
whole.
I think the people have gotten
dumber.
Lets pause for a moment to savor
that rare morsel. Even Ackerman ac-
knowledged that I dont know that I
wouldve said that out loud pre-my
announcement that I was going to be
leaving.
Extrapolating, might we conclude
that extreme partisanship is a function
of ... dumbness? If so, then whose
fault is that? Educations? Surely, at
least in part. But the problem is broad-
er than a single institution. Dumbness
permeates every aspect of our lives,
including, dangerously, our media.
Ackerman put it well: We now give
broadcast licenses to philosophies
instead of people. People get confused
and think there is no difference be-
tween news and entertainment. Peo-
ple who project themselves as journal-
ists on television dont know the first
thing about journalism. They are just
there stirring up a hockey game.
I might have to lie down for a few
minutes to regain my composure. Oh,
if only more Congress folk would
retire so that we might wallow in such
forthrightness.
Ackerman is, of course, correct.
Most political talk shows have little to
do with journalism getting at ob-
jective truth and everything to do
with advancing an agenda. Many, if
not most, talking heads come not
from the reportorial trenches, but
from politics, think tanks or, increas-
ingly, a prosecutors office somewhere.
(Does anyone actually practice law
anymore, or are law degrees merely
licenses for experts?)
This isnt to say that such people
shouldnt have a voice or a forum.
Many make valuable contributions to
our understanding. But the distinc-
tions should be made clear, and view-
ers (and readers) need to be better
informed about sources and the integ-
rity of their contributions.
Not so easily done. People of a cer-
tain age, who might also have read a
book or two, are more likely to recog-
nize the difference. But what about
rising generations who have spent a
frightening percentage of their lives
consuming data in a random world of
tweets, blogs and food-fight com-
mentators, for whom fame is a goal
and reality a show? Once accustomed
to such high-velocity infotainment,
how does one develop tolerance for
the harder reads and the deeper con-
versations?
These questions are at the forefront
of a growing news literacy movement
aimed at teaching young people how
to think critically and judge the qual-
ity of information. Two leaders in the
movement are the News Literacy
Project (NLP), led by a former Los
Angeles Times Pulitzer Prize-winning
investigative journalist Alan Miller
and the Center for News Literacy
(CNL) at Stony Brook University.
The NLP (whose board I recently
joined) focuses on school programs
for middle and high school students.
The groups staff includes 22 news
organizations and 200 journalists who
donate their time and talents to work
with students. Both groups try to
answer the question: How do you
find the truth?, and the CNL identi-
fies news as the oxygen of democra-
cy. Indeed, without a well-informed

Our dumbness
is keeping us

IN2005 when their
city drowned, the staff
of the NewOrleans
Times-Picayune stayed
in it longer than com-
mon sense and simple
prudence would dic-
tate. People who had
lost homes, loved ones and their city
itself concentrated on gathering the
news and putting it out. They finally left
huddled in newspaper delivery trucks,
water up to the headlights, decamping
to Baton Rouge, 75 miles away, where
they went right back to reporting the
news.
Earlier this year, that paper an-
nounced it was cutting staff and sus-
pending daily publication, moving to a
three-days-a-week schedule. We draw
ever closer to the once-unthinkable day
some major American city has no news-
paper whatsoever.
All of which lends a certain pungency
to something Sarah Palin said recently at
a conference of conservative activists in
Las Vegas. Every citizen can be a report-
er, can take on the powers that be, she
said. According to Politico, she was
quoting Matt Drudge. Ordinarily, you
would dismiss it as just another silly
thing Sarah Palin said. There is no short-
age of those.
But these are hardly ordinary times for
journalism. So forgive me if I amdisin-
clined to let it go.
As it happens, I spent nearly a week on
the Gulf Coast in Katrinas wake. One
night, I had the distinct honor of sleep-
ing in an RVin the parking lot of the Sun
Herald in Gulfport, Miss., part of an
army of journalists who had descended
on the beleaguered city to help its re-
porters get this story told. The locals
wore donated clothes and subsisted on
snack food. They worked froma broken
building in a broken city where the rot-
ten egg smell of natural gas lingered in
the air and houses had been reduced to
debris fields, to produce their paper.
Shattered, cut off fromthe rest of the
world, people in the Biloxi-Gulfport
region received those jerry-rigged news-
papers, those bulletins fromthe outside
world, the way a starving man receives
food.
It made me very proud of what we do
for a living.
Every citizen can be a reporter, she
says.
No, neither Palin nor her acolytes are
to blame for the state of daily newspaper
journalism. Rather, the state of daily
newspaper journalismonly proves En-
glish majors should not be allowed to
make business decisions. Only English
majors could give their product away
(i.e., online), then be surprised to see
revenues decline.
Palins sin and she is hardly alone in
this is to consider professional report-
ers easily replaceable by so-called citizen
journalists like Drudge. Granted, blog-
gers occasionally and only occasionally
originate news. Still, I cant envision
Matt Drudge standing his ground in a
flooded city to report and inform.
By contrast, my Miami Herald col-
league, Elinor J. Brecher, was one of the
reporters who rushed toward the de-
struction in NewYork City on 9/11.
Another colleague, Jacqueline Charles,
spends weeks at a time on the ground,
reporting the devastation in Haiti. Ni-
cholas Kristof of the NewYork Times
slips into dangerous places to cover
genocide and sex slavery. And every day,
thousands of their colleagues attend the
council meetings, pore over the budgets,
decipher the court rulings that help the
rest of us understand our cities, nation
and world.
Will citizen reporters replace that
function? Will they have the resources,
the credibility, the knowledge, the train-
ing or even the desire to do so? No.
And not all the arias sung by Palin and
like-minded people to newmedia and
the do-it-yourself journalism of ide-
ological crank cases will change that.
The function served by daily newspaper
journalismis critical to the very mainte-
nance of democracy. Its time we recog-
nized that.
I plead guilty to tooting my own pro-
fessions horn. Somebody needs to.

public, you get ... what we
have: a culture that rewards
ignorance and treats dis-
course as bloodsport.
All freedoms depend first
on freedom of speech, but
not all speech is equivalent,
no matter how many hits a
website boasts or how many
viewers ages 25-54 tune in to
a given television show. By
such measures, the sensa-
tional will always trump
substance. Unfortunately, the
so-called mainstream
media that is, old media
have suffered a crisis of
confidence, deservedly in
some cases. But there resides
in most real journalism in-
stitutions a dedication to
providing reliable informa-
tion according to universally
accepted standards and prac-
tices. Without them, our
news would be limited to
stories about sex, lies and the
madam next door.
News literacy programs
provide some hope at least
for a more sophisticated
consumer. Its a modest start,
but learning to read critically
is no less important than
reading itself a simple
truth with which even in-
cumbent politicians could
agree.

ilys life.
And she has to accept the real-
ization that her husband has
changed.
To her husband, so much is dif-
ferent when he returns home
the smells, the brilliant green of
the grass, the leaves on the trees
that contrast so sharply to the
scrubby landscape he left behind.
It takes a while for him to stop
looking down the street every
time he carries the garbage out,
scouring the bushes for someone
lying in wait.
Eventually, family members
settle into normalcy, or the clos-
est they can come to it in their
war-altered life. Becky stocks up
ontoilet paper andlaundry deter-
gent whenever her husband is
home, taking advantage of their
higher income to prepare for his
redeployment and the return to
leaner times.
Then, inevitably, comes word
that he must return to active du-
ty, and the cycle starts all over
again.
It can be hard living an exist-
ence that fewoutside the military
fully understand. Becky remem-
bers her husbands first deploy-
ment, shortly after the Sept. 11at-
tacks. As she drove home after
his unit left fromLima, Ohio, she
was struck by the normalcy she
saw around her children play-
ing, people shopping, drivers ma-
neuvering their cars.
Youlookaround, andit was al-
most surreal toseetheworldhap-
pening, she said. There was
this big disconnect. And it was
just it was weird.
Thats not to say people out-
side the military dont care.
Becky recalls waiting for her hus-
bands plane to board at Cleve-
land Hopkins Airport when he
traveled alone to his current de-
ployment. His fellow travelers,
who moments before had been
laughing along with the familys
quirky humor, were moved to
tears as the family said goodbye,
crying and clinging to him. The
tears passed down the line of pas-
sengers waiting to board as, one
after another, they realized what
was happening.
Before every departure, Becky
steels herself for her husbands
absence, for the loss of his moral
and financial support. The kids
pull inward, detaching them-
selves emotionally from their fa-
ther in a subconscious attempt to
lessen the pain of goodbye.
Its almost as though theyre
preparing for a death, mourning
his absence before hes even
gone.
Its a roller-coaster life, but
Beckyholds noresentment. Shes
proud of her husband, proud of
the men and women who sacri-
fice in service to their country.
This is his job. This is some-
thing that he signed up for. As a
wife, I supportedhiminthat deci-
sion, she said.
And so I dont blame any-
body.
DEBORAH
I always promote the military.
Its been a godsend to my family.
- Deborah, who counts 30 rela-
tives with military experience.
D
eborah wears the reassur-
ing air of one whos been
there.
She is calm and matter-of-fact
when she talks about Americas
military involvement and the
lives it touches. Yet she is also
empathetic, a wise and unflappa-
ble mother figure.
Its a strength that comes from
experience.
Deborahs son is an Army ma-
jor who is serving stateside after
returning in April from his sec-
ond deployment to Kuwait. He is
one of 30 members of their ex-
tendedfamily whohave servedin
the military, eight of whom are
currently active.
She knows what its like to wait
for word of her childs safety. She
knows what its like to say good-
bye repeatedly. And she knows
what its like to support loved
ones who are called to serve in a
cause she doesnt fully agree
with.
Deborah, who agreed to be in-
terviewed but did not want to
share her last name publicly,
questions Americas roleinIraq, a
war that was prompted by what
turned out to be faulty intelli-
gence about weapons of mass de-
struction. She fears it diluted the
countrys focus on rooting out al-
Qaida operatives in Afghanistan,
and as a consequence, may have
prolonged the fighting there.
Shes concerned about the re-
peated deployments military
members are facing as a result
and their risk of post-traumatic
stress disorder, and she worries
that Americans are becoming so
war-weary that few pay attention
to whats happening in the Mid-
dle East.
Yet she doesnt dwell on the is-
sue. Its done, she said. We
were there, were out, we cant go
undo it.
Neither does she let it shake
her faith in the military. It has
provided employment and op-
portunity for so many members
of her family, and she sees it as a
particularly beneficial route for
African-Americans.
For her, supporting others in
her shoes has become something
of a mission. She periodically at-
tends meetings of a support
group for the families and friends
of those in the military and has
spoken to the group twice. She
pores over websites and clips
newspaper and newsletter arti-
cles about military matters to
keep for reference. She reminds
other military families that rath-
er than feel isolated or neglected,
its up to them to keep the com-
munity engaged.
Her own church is an example.

Editorial
I love it here, but I cant go
through this again.
Joe Cernera
The Jenkins Township resident has dealt with eight
floods in 60 years at his River Road home. He is
one of nearly 70 township residents awaiting final
word on a government buyout of his property.
THIS MONTH, my father,
who is 83, suffered a med-
ical emergency. At the hos-
pital, he was asked this
question: How many pills
do you take?
His answer: aspirin and
Zocor. Thats it? came the reply.
Days later, after hed been prescribed a
daily blood thinner, a blood pressure drug
and a stronger cholesterol drug, a therapist
asked, How many pills do you take? He
answered with the three new medications.
Wow, he was told. Youre doing great
for your age.
Both responses are telling. We live in the
Age of Prescription, when anything and
everything has a pill assigned to it. If youre
not swallowing something, doctors are sur-
prised.
Did you know the average American fills
12 prescriptions a year? Our medicine cabi-
nets are stocked with small brown bottles.
From heartburn to heartache, there is a pill
you can pop.
And thats how the drug companies want
it.
Its a huge business, says Alesandra
Rain. She should know. At one point in her
life, Rain took more than 100 pills a day
the result of an injury and personal issues
that led to one prescription after another. I
took pills for insomnia, for anxiety, for sleep,
for depression.
She blames doctors. She blames herself. I
wanted my pain handled instantly, she
admits.
And plenty of drugs promised to do it.
Think about how many kids are already on
attention deficit disorder medication, how
many adults are on weight-loss or sexual
function pills, how many senior citizens have
plastic dispensers labeled Monday through
Sunday to organize all their prescriptions.
Nearly half of Americans older than 65 take
five medications a day, and a third of them
will suffer adverse side effects.
Yet we keep swallowing.
America wasnt always a pill-popping
nation. It used to be that if you had a prob-
lem, you saw a doctor, and if the doctor felt
it was serious enough, he prescribed some-
thing.
Today, TV ads trumpet drugs straight at
us. Youre asked if you have a problem.
Youre told there is a way to deal with it. You
see actors smiling in suggested healing.
Next thing you know, youre asking your
doctor for those pills.
Theres a reason the pharmaceutical indus-
try typically spends nearly twice as much on
advertising as it does on research.
It works.
Heres the mentality of our country now: If
you have a problem, open a vial. Cholesterol
rising? A pill for that. Cant sleep? A pill for
that. Feeling blue? A pill for that. Never
mind that these issues were once dealt with
by diet, exercise or facing our problems.
Today its easier and better for the drug
industry if you just ingest something.
The HMO system has crushed us, says
Rain, who eventually told her doctors
Enough, quit all her medications, and
started a group called Point Of Return to
help others with drug-dependence issues.
Doctors today dont have time to figure out
whats wrong. They just write a prescrip-
tion.
Of course, they have motivation, as we
learned in the recent humongous $3-billion
judgment against GlaxoSmithKline. It re-
vealed that doctors were often enticed to
prescribe drugs through perks and kick-
backs. This, on top of the fact that Glaxo
wrongfully marketed anti-depression med-
icine to teenagers.
Its clear why the drug companies would
push those limits. The younger you hook
em, the longer you have em.
Whos watching the side effects? Whos
checking for drug interaction especially
when people take so many medications?
And then theres this issue: What stan-
dards are being set for problematic? What
level is truly too high for cholesterol? How
long is too long for depression? What really
determines ADD? The lower the bar, the
faster the medication gets prescribed. And if
you dont think the drug industry exerts
pressure on those levels, you might want to
take another pill: for navet.

M I T C H A L B O M
Nearly half of Americans older than 65
take five medications a day, and a third of
them will suffer adverse side effects.
Yet we keep swallowing.
JERRY SANDUSKY knows
something was the only
conclusion I could reach as
I watched former federal
judge and FBI Director
Louis Freeh announce his
findings in the Special
Investigative Counsel report, commissioned
by the Penn State Board of Trustees, regard-
ing the child sexual abuse committed by
Gerald Sandusky.
Last month Sandusky was convicted of 45
charges filed against him.
Judge Freeh released his report at a press
conference 10 days ago inside the Westin
Philadelphia Hotel not at Penn State Uni-
versity in State College.
Freeh delivered a scathing portrayal of
former university President Graham Span-
ier, former Senior Vice President Gary
Schultz, former Athletic Director Tim Curl-
ey and former head football coach Joe Pa-
terno. (See: www.thefreehreporton-
psu.com.)
Our most saddening and sobering find-
ing, Freeh said, is the total disregard for
the safety and welfare of Sanduskys child
victims by the most senior leaders at Penn
State. The most powerful men at Penn
State failed to take any steps for 14 years to
protect the children who Sandusky victi-
mized. Messrs. Spanier, Schultz, Paterno
and Curley never demonstrated, through
actions or words, any concern for the safety
and well-being of Sanduskys victims.
Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley
repeatedly concealed critical facts relating
to Sanduskys child abuse from the author-
ities, the Board of Trustees, Penn State
community and the public at large, the
report stated.
Their diabolical deceit and concealment
went far beyond mere concern over publici-
ty. Why?
According to the timeline in the Freeh
Report (pages 19-30 and 40-54), Sandusky
showered with an 11-year-old boy on May 3,
1998 in the Lasch Football Building at Penn
State.
The boys mother reported the incident to
a licensed psychologist and university po-
lice, while the psychologist notified the
Pennsylvanias ChildLine (1-800-932-0313).
The state Department of Public Welfare
and the Center County District Attorneys
Office also became involved, and an in-
vestigation of Sandusky ensued.
Freeh writes: By May 5, 1998, Schultz
had communicated with Curley about the
Sandusky incident. In an email from Curley
to Schultz and Spanier captioned Joe Pa-
terno, Curley reports, I have touched base
with the coach. Keep us posted. Thanks.
As the investigation progressed, Curley
made several requests to Schultz for up-
dates. On May 13 Curley emailed Schultz a
message captioned Jerry and asked, Any-
thing new in this department? Coach is
anxious to know where it stands.
Ultimately the DAs Office decided
against prosecuting Sandusky. At that mo-
ment, quietly or otherwise, Spanier and
Paterno could have escorted Sandusky off
campus for (insert any of a dozen amicable
reasons), never to return.
Why wouldnt they mess with Jerry Sand-
usky? Their liability was enormous.
Instead, Sandusky was given a golden
parachute money, access and tickets as
he retired, in place, with emeritus distinc-
tion and an on-campus office (pages 55-62).
At the July 12 press conference broadcast
live on national television, reporter Andy
Mehalshick of WBRE-TV got Freeh on re-
cord with the most incisive question of the
day: Was Joe Paterno powerful enough to
stop this culture of concealment?
Freeh responded: Many, many witnesses
we spoke to described Mr. Paterno as one of
the most powerful leaders on the campus.
He ran his football building, he clearly ran
the Lasch Building. I think it is a very
strong and reasonable inference that he
could have done so if he wished.
According to the Freeh report, on Feb. 9,
2001 graduate assistant coach Mike McQue-
ary saw Sandusky involved in sexual activ-
ity with a young boy in the coachs shower
room in the Lasch Building. McQueary met
with and reported the incident to Paterno
on February 10, 2001.
JoePa-thetic did not call the university
police, State College police, Pennsylvania
State Police or ChildLine. Instead, he al-
lowed Sandusky to maintain his base of
operation from which Sandusky roamed
free, hunting with impunity, for another
decade, until his arrest in November 2011.
What does Sandusky know? The NCAA
should find out.
Whats real reason behind failure to act on Sandusky?

QUOTE OF THE DAY
O
F ALL THE distor-
tions and downright
lies about the food-
stamp program that
have been trotted out in recent
weeks, perhaps the biggest
howler is the one advanced by
the Wall Street Journal edito-
rial page. It said the programis
becoming the latest middle-
class entitlement.
The actual fact is that no one
within shouting distance of
middle class is eligible for food
stamps: According to the non-
partisan Congressional Budget
Office, 85 percent of recipients
have incomes below the pover-
ty line $18,500 for a family of
three with the rest barely
above it.
Earlier this month, the
House Agricultural Committee
passed a five-year reauthoriza-
tion of the farm bill that cuts
$16billioninfoodstamps while
keeping several subsidies for
corporate farmers intact. If the
bill became law, 2 million to 3
million people would lose food
assistance and 280 million chil-
dren no longer would qualify
for free school lunches.
The recent debate showed a
Congress stunningly out of
touch. Cutting food stamps not
only would take food out of the
mouths of babes, it would re-
move billions of dollars fromlo-
cal and state economies.
In what looks like a cam-
paign to demonize the pro-
gram, unceasing repetition
accompanied by an outlier an-
ecdote or two about a few
scammers has strengthened
the distortions. So here are a
few facts:
The average household re-
ceiving food stamps had a
monthly income of $731, and
that includes other govern-
ment assistancesuchas disabil-
ity, Social Security and welfare
cash assistance.
The food-stamp program is
indeed bigger and more expen-
sive than it has ever been: Last
year, 45 million Americans got
food stamps each month, cost-
ing the government $78 billion
annually. But far from being
out of control, as the myth-
makers would have it, the pro-
gram has grown largely be-
cause there simply are more
poor people because of the eco-
nomic downturn in 2008.
If allowed to continue, the
food-stamp program would re-
duce on its own, according to
CBO, fallingsignificantlyas the
economy recovers. In five
years, it would be back to 1997
levels. Interrupting that recov-
ery, while at the same time in-
creasing hunger and malnutri-
tion, takes a special brand of
myopia. Or malice.

Lying politicians
should be stopped
H
as the lie become the most
powerful political tool for
assuring power?
When our president ran for
office in 2008, like many presi-
dents before him, he made a
lot of promises that during his
term he has not kept. For
example, he declared that he
would unite, not divide. I do
regret that he could not do
this, but this is not a big sin.
What is a sin, whether the
audience is Republican or
Democrat, is knowing that
what you are saying is a lie,
then going ahead and saying it
anyway. Obamas attacks as of
recent days about Bain Capital
and offshoring have been
debunked by progressives and
Democratic fact-checkers; they
simply are not true. Yet they
have not stopped.
Only somebody living in
Kenya or Indonesia for the last
year could have missed the
truth on these matters.
Knowingly lying is not in
the same league as an un-
fulfilled promise. America
deserves better than lies from
its president. No government
would lie unless it fully ex-
pected the people to buy the
lies hook, line and sinker.
They expect you and me to
believe their lies, so be careful.
There are more government
lies coming soon at a press
conference near you. Un-
fortunately for Americans,
lying absolutely helps them
game the system, but it hurts
the people. It is vitally impor-
tant for Americans to under-
stand that the government,
now controlled by progressiv-
es, lies to us all the time.
The Constitution does not
authorize the government to
lie. A government that lies is
illegitimate. Lying is a tool of
destruction, and we must shut
down such a government.
For us to do that, the people
must retain power, and our
power is in our vote.

Vietnam vets
denied benefits
P
ennsylvania is one of the
most patriotic states in
our country. Our nations
Constitution was written here.
We are the caretaker of the
Liberty Bell. America was
born in Pennsylvania.
Who are the caretakers of
our veterans? Supposedly, our
Congress. As President Abe
Lincoln said, We must care
for those who have fought the
nations battles.
The most controversial war
in American history, the Viet-
nam War, ended 37 years ago.
Many surviving veterans of
that war, to this date, cannot
get benefits from the Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs.
Why?
Because our Congress con-
trols the VA.
Navy personnel at sea,
Coast Guard personnel at sea,
some Air Force personnel and
Fleet Marines do not qualify
for VA benefits because they
did not have boots on the
ground in Vietnam. Yet these
military personnel who fought
did earn the Vietnam Service
Medal.
Pennsylvania has two U.S.
Senators and 19 members of
Congress. There are two bills,
HR 3612 and S.1629, to restore
benefits within the Agent
Orange Act of 1991, taken
away in 2002 by that adminis-
tration, unless the veteran had
boots on ground.
Pennsylvania, let us show
the rest of our country we care
about our veterans. We can be
the first state to show100
percent bipartisanship partici-
pation to help our veterans in
need.
I ask Pennsylvanians to
write and urge our legislators
who have not co-sponsored
the bills.

An ode to lifes
simple pleasures
T
o celebrate the Fourth of
July, my family held a
get-together at my grand-
parents home in Beaumont.
Most of the family was
there. The children swam in
the creek and the adults vis-
ited with each other. The
weather was beautiful: sun
and blue sky, even sporadic
thundershowers at dusk.
Some folks were unable to
attend. Some had work, some
had other plans. And some
were just missing from their
usual chairs on the old
screened-in porch. To name a
few: my Aunt Patsy, who died
of cancer years ago. (Her
bouffant hairdo and smile had
been staples at my grandpar-
ents house.) And an old fam-
ily friend, the sort of friend
who was around for so long,
all of the kids called her an
aunt, only to learn years later
that she wasnt really our
aunt. Aunt Wendy was an
angel an angel flying too
close to the ground, as Willie
Nelson would say. Her kind-
heartedness and benevolence
made a lasting impression on
all who knew her.
On more than one occasion,
my eyes wandered to that old
porch, hoping to see their
smiles. Instead, what I found
was my mother, sitting on the
chair and watching her grand-
children play in the yard. My
grandmother, sitting on the
porch overlooking all of her
children and their children.
My grandfather, struggling in
the summer heat to sit for a
while on that old porch and
reminisce. My father, playing
ball in the yard with his grand-
children. My sisters, swim-
ming with their children or
relaxing, were enjoying the
fun. Aunts, uncles and friends,
laughing together while enjoy-
ing the traditional cookout
food. My beautiful 9-year-old
daughter, frolicking around on
the same stomping grounds as
I stomped countless times
while I was a child.
As I sat there, taking it all
in, struggling with the bitter-
sweetness of it all, I was left
feeling utter gratefulness for
the life with which I was
blessed.
I must have said it four
times at that family picnic:
This is what its all about.
If you take a look around
today, it seemingly is the
simple things in life that are
phasing out. Playing rummy
with your 80-year-old grand-
parents, calling your mom or
your dad to say hello, buying
an ice cream bar for your
shut-in neighbor, catching
lightning bugs with your
child, helping someone who
needs a hand.
For about seven months,
each day as I was on my way
to work, I found myself near
an old red car with a bumper
sticker that read, The best
things in life arent things.
Each day I was reminded
that although we might not
know why we are here, or to
whom we attribute our being
here, all you really need to do
is sit at a family picnic to
understand the meaning of
life. Look around and embrace
it.
To close, a quote from Max
Ehrmann: With all its sham,
drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.

If youve got
a business
you didnt
build that.
Somebody
else made
that happen.
Barack
Obama, Roanoke, Va., July 13
AND WHO might that some-
body else be? Government,
says Obama. It built the roads
you drive on. It provided the
teacher who inspired you. It
created the Internet. It repre-
sents the embodiment of
were in this together social
solidarity that, in Obamas
view, is the essential origin of
individual and national
achievement.
To say all individuals are
embedded in and the product
of society is banal. Obama rises
above banality by means of
fallacy: equating society with
government, the collectivity
with the state. Of course we
are shaped by our milieu. But
the most formative, most im-
portant influence on the indi-
vidual is not government. It is
civil society, those elements of
the collectivity that lie outside
government: family, neigh-
borhood, church, Rotary club,
PTA, the voluntary associ-
ations that Tocqueville under-
stood to be the genius of Amer-
ica and source of its energy and
freedom.
Moreover, the greatest threat
to a robust, autonomous civil
society is the ever-growing
Leviathan state and those like
Obama who see it as the ulti-
mate expression of the collec-
tive. Obama compounds the
fallacy by declaring the state to
be the font of entrepreneurial
success. How so? It created the
infrastructure roads, bridges,
schools, Internet off which
we all thrive.
Absurd. We dont credit the
Swiss postal service with the
Special Theory of Relativity
because it transmitted Ein-
steins manuscript to the Anna-
len der Physik. Everyone
drives the roads, goes to
school, uses the mails. So did
Steve Jobs. Yet only he con-
ceived and built the Mac and
the iPad.
Obamas infrastructure argu-
ment is easily refuted by what
is essentially a controlled so-
cial experiment. Roads and
schools are the constant.
Whats variable is the energy,
enterprise, risk-taking, hard
work and genius of the individ-
ual. It is therefore precisely
those individual character-
istics, not the communal util-
ities, that account for the dif-
ferent outcomes.
The ultimate Obama fallacy,
however, is the conceit that
belief in the value of infrastruc-
ture and willingness to invest
in its creation and maintenance
is what divides liberals from
conservatives.
More nonsense. Infrastruc-
ture is not a liberal idea, nor is
it particularly new. The Via
Appia was built 2,300 years
ago. The Romans built aque-
ducts too. And sewers. Since
forever, infrastructure has been
consensually understood to be
a core function of government.
What divides liberals and
conservatives is not roads and
bridges but Julias world, an
Obama campaign creation that
might be the most self-reveal-
ing parody of liberalism ever
conceived. Its a series of car-
toon illustrations in which a
fictional Julia is swaddled and
subsidized throughout her life
by an all-giving government of
bottomless pockets and magna-
nimity. At every stage, the
state is there to provide. The
only time shes on her own is at
her gravesite.
Julias world is totally atom-
ized. It contains no friends, no
community and, of course, no
spouse. Who needs one? Shes
married to the provider state.
Or to put it slightly differ-
ently, the Life of Julia repre-
sents the paradigmatic Obama
political philosophy: citizen as
orphan child. For the conserva-
tive, providing for every need
is the duty that government
owes to actual orphan children.
Not to supposedly autonomous
adults.
Beyond infrastructure, the
conservative sees the proper
role of government as provid-
ing not European-style uni-
versal entitlements but a firm
safety net, meaning Julia-like
treatment for those who really
cannot make it on their own
those too young or too old, too
mentally or physically im-
paired, to provide for them-
selves.
Limited government so
conceived has two indispens-
able advantages. It avoids inex-
orable European-style national
insolvency. And it avoids
breeding debilitating individu-
al dependency. It encourages
and celebrates character, inde-
pendence, energy, hard work as
the foundations of a free socie-
ty and a thriving economy
precisely the virtues Obama
discounts and devalues in his
accounting of the wealth of
nations.
Obama remains blind
to individual triumphs

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Alexandra Batson
and words by Mark E. Jones
EXPECT exag-
geration, hy-
perbole and
half-truths
from all sides
in a presi-
dential elec-
tion; it is the
nature of the beast.
But the rhetorical temper-
ature this year will be hotter
than the scorching summer.
Already the Koch brothers, oil
oligarchs, and Shelly Adelson,
China gambling mogul, have
promised to spend more than a
half billion dollars to beat Presi-
dent Obama. Thanks to Citi-
zens Disunited, they think the
presidency of the United States
is up for sale.
It reminds me of a saying of
the late John Cotter of West
Pittston, former editor with the
New York Post, one of the best
journalists in a long list to
come from Northeastern Penn-
sylvania. Our wild Irish
rogue, as eulogized by Pete
Hamil.
Our job is to separate the
wheat from the chaff, John
would joke. And then print the
chaff.
So lets separate some wheat
from chaff, starting with Mitt
Romney.
THE CHAFF: Democrats
goofed by saying that Romney
could be guilty of a felony for
not stating clearly his role at
Bain Capital in a U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission
filing.
Democrats should leave per-
secution politics to the GOP
and McCarthyites such as Dar-
rell Issa.
Nor can the Obama adminis-
tration call Mitt Romney a thief
when it let all the Wall Street
perps walk free.
Romney might like his mon-
ey in big buckets, but he does it
legally.
His time at Bain Capital as a
corporate raider is also a weak
argument; not because it isnt
true, they buy a company to
bleed it, but because thats
what private equity firms do.
THE WHEAT: Romney is the
only presidential candidate in
modern history not to release
multiple years of tax returns.
We are left to assume that
Romney is hiding something,
but again, I dont think the
Mittster did anything illegal.
By releasing his returns Rom-
ney would shine a direct spot-
light on the gluttonous tax
policies that he has promised to
uphold if elected president.
For the single tax year that
Romney did show numbers to
the public, he paid 14 percent in
taxes, far lower than the aver-
age worker. If Romney were to
release his returns from 2000 to
2010, you might see that he
paid little or no taxes on many
millions of dollars in profit.
Romney, by releasing his
returns, could become the
poster child for inequality in
the way the United States gov-
ernment under conservatives
treats its citizens.
As billionaire Warren Buffett
often says, he could pay no
taxes at all if he wanted to
exploit a tax system designed
for the wealthy to avoid taxa-
tion.
Now for President Obama.
THE CHAFF: They keep
saying that Obama raised taxes,
the old tax-and-spend liberal
drumbeat we have heard for 30
years.
In fact, he reduced taxes
substantially.
As the great Joe Biden would
say: You have a right to your
own opinion. You do not have a
right to your own facts.
THE WHEAT: Faced with
the worst financial disaster in
our lifetimes, Obama put to-
gether a stimulus package that
was about 30 percent tax cuts,
as if they needed more, and the
stimulus was too small with not
nearly enough spending on
infrastructure, which would
have spurred employment
much quicker.
But Obama had to deal with
a pugnacious Congress, a Tea-
vangelical revolt and a Repub-
lican Party whose single goal is
to keep things bad so it can
defeat him.
In the last century, the slow-
est rate of growth in the size of
the federal government has
been under two Democratic
presidents: Bill Clinton and
Obama. The rate of growth in
the first three years under Oba-
ma was 1.4 percent, the lowest
since Julius Caesar. (And he
paid for it by taking Gaul.)
The Kochs and the Adelsons
will have their day in the light
of American democracy, thanks
to Citizens Disunited.
But they can win only if
Americans cant separate the
wheat from the chaff.

tax returns.

Mittster did anything illegal.
THEY KNEW.
Those are the two
words that have been
going through my
mind since the release
of the Freeh report.
After months of exam-
ination of the facts
surrounding the Jerry Sandusky sexual
abuse case, the Freeh report seemingly
proved that the top Penn State Uni-
versity officials Joe Paterno, Graham
Spanier, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz
knew that children were being abused
by assistant coach Jerry Sandusky and
did nothing to protect the children.
There were two incidents brought to
their attention, in 1998 and 2001, and
they apparently took no steps to ensure
the childrens safety. If anything, they
actually took steps to ensure Sanduskys
safety and to see that he was treated
humanely.
I always figured that they must have
known. How could these men who ran
Penn State and knew everything about
the football program not know what
Sandusky was doing right in front of
them? Still, to have it proven was devas-
tating. It did not bring the joy and relief
that the guilty verdict against Sandusky
brought to me. Im pleased that the
people who are responsible for these
actions are being held accountable, and
there is some sense of justice. But how
can that change the last 14 years? The
fact is, nothing can. Because of their
failure to act, in order to protect them-
selves and football, they allowed numer-
ous children to continue to be victi-
mized. Nothing can change that.
How do we go on from here? I think a
good place to start is to accept the rec-
ommendations of the Freeh report and
ensure a system of reporting abuse
without fear of repercussions. Janitors
at Penn State were worried about losing
their jobs if they went against Paterno
and told what they had seen. This must
never be allowed to happen again.
Far beyond the State College campus,
people must from now on be aware of
potential abuse in every institution in
America and realize that pedophiles
typically dont appear to be monsters.
They can be the football coach, priest,
uncle, grandfather, teacher or camp
counselor who seems like the greatest
guy. Plus, there needs to be ongoing
dialogue about sexual abuse. No one
likes to talk about this subject, but it is
so important to keep this story going
to not hide behind the fear and shame
that are so much a part of this type of
abuse.
What can Penn State do? It can start
by taking down the Joe Paterno statue
and removing his name from every
place on campus. He cared more about
football and his own reputation than he
did about vulnerable children. He does
not deserve any praise, much less hero
worship. He aided and abetted a pe-
dophile, and that is his legacy. He de-
serves this legacy that shows his true
character.
I also would hope that there is a way
for the NCAA to give Penn State the
death penalty and not allow it to play
football. I would wish it to be for 14
years the same length of time that the
children were abused with no interven-
tion but I realize that money and
power will not allow this to happen. It
would be wonderful if other college
teams took a stand and refused to play
Penn State, forfeiting any games with
them.
Some people have argued that the
current team should not be penalized
for what happened before them. I dis-
agree. Football was shown to be more
important than childrens lives, and the
only way to show that one cares more
about children now is to sacrifice foot-
ball.
The world will not come to an end if
football is not played at Penn State. In
fact, it seems the world actually would
have been a better place without Penn
State football. At least for the boys who
were sexually abused the past 14 years.
As a social worker who works with
children in a pediatric hospice program,
I find it unconscionable that people
would review information about life-
altering abuse to children and decide
that it was more important to protect
the pedophile and a sporting event.
What kind of world are we living in?
The churches and institutions that
knowingly do these things need to be
punished to the fullest extent of the law,
and people need to stop supporting
these institutions until they show a
change in their behaviors and policies.
Paterno deserves no worship and PSU football deserves death penalty

Summer
When she and her husband
joined about three years ago, it
had no military support mission.
So she suggested it send care
packages to its members in the
service. The response was so pos-
itive that it cost $200 just to mail
the donated items to the seven
soldiers.
She understands that people
without ties to the military have
less motivation to pay attention.
Still, she wishes they were better
informed. She bristles when they
post outdated news about the
war on their Facebook pages in a
well-meaning but misguided at-
tempt to make a point. And she
takes issue with people who call
for an immediate troop with-
drawal without understanding
the logistics involved and the po-
tential fallout.
She wishes, too, that more peo-
ple knewthe good side of the mil-
itary, the work it accomplishes
and the way it serves others.
Sheknows thedangers, but she
isnt consumed with worry over
her loved ones safety. Instead,
she relies on her faith.
(O)n a day-to-day basis, I just
trust the same God whos keep-
ing them when theyre in the
States is the same God whos
keeping them wherever theyre
stationed, she said.
But she can never forget the
risk involved.
Shewas remindedof that when
she attended the funeral of a
brother-in-lawwhodiedof cancer
three years ago. A retired Army
sergeant, he was buried with mil-
itary honors.
Deborah was emotionally ex-
hausted from having helped her
sister plan his funeral, but she
held herself together through
most of it.
Then she heard the haunting
strains of taps and broke down in
sobs.
Its the idea that my son is in
the service, she said. I hope I
never hear this for him.
CHRISTINE
I just pray all the time. Please
protect him.
- Christine, on her son in the
military. (Her name and that of
her son have been changed to
maintain confidentiality.)
C
hristine always answers
her cell phone.
No matter whether she
recognizes the caller, she always
takes the call. She knows phone
calls from deployed soldiers can
be routed through unfamiliar
numbers, andshe doesnt want to
take a chance.
She doesnt want to miss Mat-
thew.
Matthew is her 22-year-old
son, a soldier stationed in Af-
ghanistanonhis first tour of duty.
In her purse she carries a doll
bearing his image. Its a way to
keep him with her always.
He is an adult, yet he is her
child, and she worries about his
well-being.
Already Matthew has tasted
tragedy. He lost three members
of his unit in a suicide bombing,
including a superior whom he
had left just minutes earlier.
The experience shook both
Christine and her son deeply.
In the weeks that followed,
Matthew tried to come to grips
with his loss. The spirited young
manwho once flauntedhis brava-
do in Facebook photos pulled
away from the social networking
site. He drew inward, taking
strength from his chaplain and
the intensified bond among the
members of his unit.
Meanwhile, Christine, whose
last name is withheld to protect
her familys privacy, struggled
with her own depression. At first
she responded by climbing into
her van and driving aimlessly, as
though she were lost. Then, as
the days passed, the reality of the
physical and emotional risks her
son faces sank in.
She started steeling herself
against the possibility that the
kid she sent off to war might not
come back the same.
I thought, I need to start pre-
paring myself for either himcom-
ing home without any legs or
arms or him dying, she said, or
himcoming home and becoming
analcoholic because he cant han-
dle what he saw. Its just such a
big worry.
So she clings to her faith like a
life raft and prays continually for
his safety. She takes comfort in
knowing the experience has
strengthened her sons convic-
tions.
Hes determined now, more
than ever, to help his country,
she said. Because hes a very pa-
triotic person. He believes in the
Army, and he wants to protect us
and allowAmerica to be the won-
derful country it is.
That love of country is rooted
firmly in her familys experience.
Whiletheywereraisingtheir son,
Christine and her husband took
him along on short-term mission
trips to other countries, includ-
ing trips to Haiti and a yearlong
stint inRussia. Theysawthe rem-
nants of oppression firsthand,
and it led Matthew to dedicate
his life to protecting his country
and its way of life.
Christine admits to having
paid little attention to the situa-
tioninthe Middle East before her
son enlisted, and she speaks of
his military service as almost a
ministry. She talks about her son
helping others, educating them
about freedom and democracy.
The less romantic picture that
Deborah and Becky paint during
the focus group seems to hit
Christine like a slap. When they
talk of an invasion prompted by
mistaken intelligence and of the
Taliban stealing clothing and
medical supplies that American
soldiers had given to Afghan vil-
lagers, she appears deflated.
But what about the attack?
Christine asks Deborah at one
point, referring to Sept. 11.
Al-Qaida was basedinAfghan-
istan. They were not in Iraq,
Deborah tells her. Iraq was
about weapons of mass destruc-
tion.
She seems increasingly dis-
couraged as the discussion un-
folds and as a small group of ob-
servers without military ties
joins in the discussion.
Maybe she has misled herself,
she eventually concedes. Maybe
I talked myself into that. Maybe I
talkedmyself intothinkingthat it
is a good purpose and theres a
reason why were there and
theres a reason why kids come
home, young guys, without their
legs and arms.
She needs tobelieve the deaths
and injuries are not in vain.
I dont want my son to come
home without any legs for no rea-
son at all, you know?

Whenever a movie was shown at his
school and the film snapped or the pro-
jector malfunctioned, Neil Sedaka re-
members, his teacher would ask him to
entertain until the problem could be
fixed.
Every time the movie would break, I
would get up and play Chopin or Bach,
he said. The kids would snicker.
The world-famous singer and song-
writer sounds matter-of-fact as he ex-
plains his early life.
I was not a success at school. I
wasnt into sports. I was a pianist.
Still, that snickering motivated him to
embrace popular music. I wasnt invited
to the parties playing Chopin, he said
with a laugh.
By the time he
was 13, Sedaka
was writing his
own songs, and
youll hear many
of his famous
pieces if you at-
tend his Under
the Stars concert
at Misericordia
University in Dal-
las on Friday.
Sedaka made
his mark with
such tunes as
Laughter in the
Rain, Breaking
Up is Hard to
Do, Calendar
Girl, Happy
Birthday Sweet
Sixteen and
Love Will
Keep Us To-
gether.
One of his earliest successes was Stu-
pid Cupid, which became a hit for Con-
nie Francis in 1958, when Sedaka was
still in his teens.
Later, Sedaka said, he wrote the 1961
chart-topping Where the Boys Are spe-
cifically for Connie Francis.
With every other song he wrote, he
said, he had his own voice in mind.
When he was growing up in Brooklyn,
Sedaka took lessons at Juilliard on a par-
tial scholarship, practiced at home on a
second-hand piano and dreamed big.
I used to buy the 45-rpm records and
cross out the name of the singer andwrit-
er andput Neil Sedaka there. It was pos-
itive visualization.
An early collaborator was his friend
and neighbor, Howard Greenberg. The
two wrote a song called My Lifes Devo-
tion, which Sedaka describes as pretty
good, considering it was writtenby two
kids, ages 13 and 16.
Sedaka credits some of his success
to ending up at the right place at
the right time. In1958 Jerry Lee Le-
wis married his 14-year-old cousin,
Elvis went into the Army, and Little Ri-
chard became a preacher.
That gave Sedaka anopportunity tofill
the void. I was all-American pop, very
wholesome. I didnt turn my back to the
audience like the Rolling Stones or stick
my tongue out, he said.
Im very proud of being part of that
first decade of rock-n-roll, he said.
His career hit a dry spell after the Beat-
les British Invasion came to the United

INNEAPOLIS The con-
troversial Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame induction of
Guns N Roses is behind
him. So, too, are Scott WeilandandVel-
vet Revolver. Finally, Slash can enjoy
life in a band thats not dysfunctional.
Its really liberating. Its so stress-
free, the iconic guitarist said. Every-
body is happy doing what theyre do-
ing. There isnt a lot of drama and fuss-
ing. Its been a long time coming, I sup-
pose.
Then he laughed.
The band is officially billed as Slash
featuring Myles Kennedy and the Con-
spirators. He actually started touring
with this group two years ago to pro-
mote his 2010 solo debut Slash, on
which Kennedy joined a parade of
more famous guest singers, including
Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie and Lemmy
Kilmister.
Hes very down-to-earth and a hum-
ble individual, said the 46-year-old
guitarist. Definitely not the kind of
lead singer that Ive had a lot of experi-
ence with.
Youve probably heardthe backstory
about GNR frontman Axl Rose refus-
ing to attend the most recent Hall of
Fame induction. He and Slash have a
rift deeper than the Grand Canyon and
more complex than any of Bob Dylans
lyrics. Slash showed up in Cleveland
along with GNRheyday members Duff
McKagan and Steven Adler and later
players Matt Sorum and Gilbey Clarke
tomake speeches andplaysome songs.
It was definitely an uncomfortable,
nagging kind of thing, because
there were so many negatives,
Slash said. I was positive that
there would be no positive out-
come.
For Slash, it was a bit of deja vu
because as a member of Velvet
Revolver, he helped with the con-
troversial induction of Van Halen
in2007whenits co-founders

Its really liberating. Its so stress-free. Everybody is happy doing what theyre doing.
Jen Carey models the sun. Raindrops arent quite falling
on Patty Spellmans head.
Selena Waters has a colorful
icon saved for a rainy day.
Patrick Clearys cloud cover is
a patriotic one.
W
hen the weather is
sunny, Pat Cleary
said, he likes to go to
his familys cottage
at Elk Lake and just
lay back and relax.
When its rainy,
Selena Waters doesnt mind. I like to splash
in the puddles.
And if theres a big storm with thunder
and lightning, Elizabeth Thomas likes to
watch and listen.
I like to watch a good storm, too, art
teacher Gwen Harleman told her students
as they painted bright yellow/orange suns
and silvery, jagged lightning bolts in the
Verve Vertu studio in Wilkes-Barres Down-
town Arts Building.
Their artwork soon will grace the front
page of The Times Leader, down in the cor-
ner where photos of local children can be
seen holding cut-out clouds, umbrellas and
other items that hint at the days forecast.
After years of hard use, Times Leader vice
president/executive editor Joe Butkiewicz
said, the old icons were starting to look
shabby, so the newspaper approached the
Verve Vertu studio.
Theyre loving this project, Harleman
said.
The artists are not limiting themselves to
paint. Silk fabric, felt, shoelaces and sparkly
materials also are dressing up the icons,
most of which will have a sturdy wood back-
ing supplied by Clearys father, John.
I like singing in the rain, Waters said
with a smile, hinting she wanted to incorpo-
rate that song title into the umbrella icon
she was designing.
Patty Spellman, meanwhile, drew a big,
benevolent smile on one image of the sun.
Why?
Its God, she said. Watching over me.
The Times Leader periodically invites
parents to bring children to the newspapers
office for a group photo session, during
which the children pose with the icons.
Those images are published on the front
page when the weather forecast calls for a
particular kind of picture, be it mostly clou-
dy, sunny, very cold, or another meteor-
ological description. Watch the front page
for the next announcement of a photo ses-
sion.

States; Sedaka coped by moving
to Britain, where he worked with
Elton John.
I felt if the Beatles came to
New York I could go to London,
Sedaka said. I met Elton John in
England in the early 70s. He
started Rocket Records, and we
did Laughter in the Rain and an
album called Sedakas Back. It
was a remarkable comeback.
Laughter in the Rain was the
miracle one. It brought me back
after years of being off the Bill-
board charts.
My career has been like a roll-
er coaster, he said.
In recent years Sedaka has
reworked some of his songs,
creating such child-friendly
versions as Waking Up is Hard
to Do, which he recorded with
his twin granddaughters, who
are now 9.
The family-oriented Sedaka
has been married to his wife, Le-
ba, for 50years. Theyplantocele-

Which situation was more
awkward?
The Van Halen induction was
a nightmare, Slashsaid. Andwe
were potentially a mirror image
of that. Nowat this point, (GNRs
induction) is something Im real-
ly happy I did because it was very
close to not happening at all. It
turned out that in the moment, it
was a really positive and fulfilling
experience.
Part of thegoodvibes werebe-
cause Kennedy stepped up on
short notice and sang the GNR
classics Sweet Child o Mine,
Mr. Brownstone andParadise
City with the ex-Gunners.
He did a (expletive) amazing
job, Slash said.
Kennedy, 42, has gained a rep-
utationas the go-toreplacement
singer, having rehearsed with
Led Zeppelin in 2008 before a
possible reunion and forming
Alter Bridge with members of
Creed after that band imploded
in 2003. When Slash called Ken-
nedy in 2009, he needed a vocal-
ist for the two final songs on his
debut solo album. Kennedy end-
edupas the permanent singer in
Slashs solo band. The groups
first album together, Apocalyp-
tic Love, arrived May 22.
Inconcert, Slashs quartet will
feature tunes from his two solo
albums as well as material from
Guns N Roses, Velvet Revolver
andhis earlier sologroupSlashs
Snakepit.
This tour picks up where we
left off, the guitarist said. We

The Last Minute (Grand Central
Publishing), by Jeff Abbott
What would you do to save your son?
Sam Capra experienced betrayal and loss in
Jeff Abbotts Adrenaline. InAbbotts newthrill-
er, The Last Minute, Capras wife is in a coma
and he is desperate to find his infant son. An ex-
CIAagent, Capra has the skills andresources for
the search.
The kidnappers are part of a cartel called the
Novem Soles (Nine
Suns), and they have
their hands in law en-
forcement and govern-
ment agencies around
the world. They even
have allies in the CIA.
Capra is also confront-
ed with a moral dilem-
ma: Theransomdemand
isnt for money, but for
the execution of an inno-
cent person. Deliver
proof of this mans death
and Capra can have his son back. He cannot
count on his former allies for assistance, and his
newboss is in hiding with a price on her head. It
doesnt matter why the Novem Soles want this
mandead. All that matters toCapra is the oppor-
tunity to get his son back.
Abbott is one of the best thriller writers in the
business, and he delivers action and complex
characters in an explosive cocktail. The next Ca-
pra novel cannot come fast enough.
Discretion (Touchstone), by Allison
Leotta
Sex and politics collide in Discretion, an in-
triguing new thriller from Allison Leotta.
A high-priced escort arrives at the U.S. Capi-
tol for a rendezvous with one of her regular cli-
ents, a long-termCongressman. Ashort timelat-
er, she falls to her death from the balcony.
Anna Curtis works for the U.S. Attorneys of-
fice and Jack Bailey, the chief homicide prosecu-
tor, is her boyfriend, though their colleagues are
kept in the dark about their relationship. Their
joint investigation quick-
ly hits a wall. Congres-
sional attorneys are
afraid of legislative se-
crets leaking, and other
clients of the escort ser-
vice dont want their ac-
tivities revealed to their
spouses.
Leotta, a federal for-
mer prosecutor, writes
with authority and au-
thenticity. Imagine one
of the best episodes of the TV series Law and
Order: Special Victims Unit, but set in Wash-
ington, D.C., instead of New York City.
Besides the realistic feel of the courtroom
machinations, Leotta also takes readers on a
journey inside the elite of Washington and the
world of escort services. How can such an obvi-
ous prostitution enterprise operate immune
from the law?
Curtis and Bailey find their relationship test-
ed as people in power will use everything and
everyone at their disposal to keep their private
lives a secret.
The Last Refuge: a Dewey Andreas Novel
(St. Martins Press), by Ben Coes
Ben Coes has created a hero who ranks with
the protagonists in a Vince Flynn or Brad Thor
thriller.
Dewey Andreas is a former SEAL who was
forced out of active duty. When his life was in
peril, a team of Israeli
commandos led by Kohl
Meir saved him. When
Meir uncovers irrefut-
able evidence that Iran
has developed a nuclear
device and plans to deto-
nate it in Tel Aviv, he
goes to Dewey for help.
Dewey and Kohl de-
velop a plan to sneak in-
to Iran and destroy its
nuclear facility. An offi-
cer highupinthe Iranian
government learns of
the plan and captures Kohl. Dewey must rescue
his friend and save the world.
The Last Refuge is a winner, and it will keep
readers turning the pages.
Delve into
a summer
mystery
By JEFF AYERS
For The Associated Press
I
loveit whenabookstarts likethis: The
call hed been expecting for twenty-two
years came at midnight when he was
working late at his desk. ... The name of
the caller appeared in the identification
screen, and his heart did a flip-flop.
Middle-of-the-night phone calls from
people you havent heard fromin nearly a quarter
of a century almost always bode well, at least if
youre in the hands of a talented author. In this
case, you certainly are. Leila Meacham hit the
book scene in a big way with 2010s multigener-
ational saga Roses, set in East Texas. As with
that book, her follow-up, Tumbleweeds, centers
on the life of a young woman and those who love
her. Here, the action is set around the fictitious
Panhandle town of Kersey, where life and love re-
volve around high-school football. That sounds a
bit like Friday Night Lights, but Tumbleweeds
keeps the football mostly in the background, fo-
cusing more onthe relationships among the three
main characters.
The book begins in 1979 with
orphaned 11-year-old Catherine
Ann Benson moving to Kersey
from California to live with her
grandmother, Emma. Nofool, Em-
ma realizes that Cathys transition
into the tight-knit local school will
be tough, so she calls upon sixth-
grade hotshots Trey Don Hall and
John Caldwell to take the girl un-
der their protective wings. With
their help, she grows up excelling
both academically and socially, ut-
terly adored by the two boys.
Trey Don and John are also or-
phans of a sort. Trey lives with his
Aunt Mabel, Emmas good friend;
his parents are still alive but no
one knows where they are. John,
whose mother died when he was a
small child, lives with his hard-
drinking, abusive and neglectful
father.
Of course, Cathy falls hard for
one of her knights, but its the oth-
er who would fall on his sword for
her: He would keep his brief
glance of Catherine Ann Benson
to himself, one of the boys thinks,
a secret he would not share ... un-
til tomorrow morning when he
could introduce himself to her and
become her protector for the rest
of her life.
As the rest of their lives pro-
gress, the triomust deal withanac-
cidental death that gets unwisely
covered up, an unexpected preg-
nancy (with confusion over pater-
nity), scattering to different colleg-
es, and eventually, horrific be-
trayal, murder and bittersweet res-
olution.
Like the Southwest plant of its ti-
tle, Cathy, Trey Don and John
spend their lives untethered
hapless souls fervently looking for
places totakeroot andstick. As she
relates their journey, Meachams
prose is straightforward and un-
complicated, the perfect style for
writing about her outwardly
straightforward but inwardly com-
plicated protagonists.
If youre going to a beach this
summer, or better yet, a wind-
swept prairie, this tale of friend-
ship, love, remorse and redemp-
tion is definitely a book youll want
to pack.

S
EAL HARBOR, Maine Some of Maines most popular
destinations are on Mount Desert Island, including Bar
Harbor and Acadia National Park. But the island is also
home to several remarkable gardens, all connected to the re-
nowned landscape architect Beatrix Farrand, whose philosophy
of garden design emphasized native plants and using natural
landscapes todefine outdoor spaces.
One of the gardens, the Abby Al-
drich Rockefeller Garden in Seal
Harbor, is a private garden thats
open to the public, by reservation
only, just a fewdays a year. But the
other two, Thuya GardenandAsti-
cou Azalea Garden in Northeast
Harbor, which contain plants from
Farrands Bar Harbor home, wel-
come visitors daily for muchof the
spring, summer andfall.
All threegardensusenatural set-
tings soartfullythat its sometimes
hard to tell where the landscaping
ends andnature begins.
Farrand, the sole womanamong
the founders of the American So-
ciety of Landscape Architects, was
born in NewYork in1872 and died
in Bar Harbor in 1959. She de-
signed gardens for the White
House, consultedat Princetonand
other institutions, and had many
prominent private clients, includ-
ing John D. Rockefeller Jr. and his
wife, Abby.
FarrandworkedwithAbbyRock-
efeller todesigntheprivategarden
in Seal Harbor between 1926 and
1930. Thepropertyisstill ownedby
the Rockefeller family. Each sum-
mer, thegardenopenstothepublic
onedayaweek, butreservationsfill
upfast. As of mid-July, onlya hand-
ful of slots were left for late August
and early September. And theres
no sneaking in: To be admitted,
yournamemustbeonachecklistat
the entrance, whichis virtually un-
marked and hard to find even with
directions. Photos are permitted
only for personal use.
David Bennett, a landscape ar-
chitectinWashingtonD.C., hasvis-
ited the Rockefeller garden as part
of his research for restoration of
Farrands kitchen garden at The
Mount, the country estate in Le-
nox, Mass., created by Farrands
aunt, writer Edith Wharton. Ben-
nett says Farrand wanted her gar-
dens to fit into their natural set-
tings. She had a strong apprecia-
tionfor thenatural character of the
landandthe appropriate way of in-
tegrating a designed landscape
withits natural context.
She used plants to create im-
pressionisticeffectsof textureand
color, andalsowasknownforcreat-
ing outdoor garden rooms, with
theideaof movingthroughaland-
scapeinasequence, fromonespace
toanother, whereeachspacehasits
owncharacter,Bennett said. One
space may be very shady and en-
closed, and you pass through a
hedge or a rowof trees or through
anactual gateinawall toenterave-
ry sunny andopenspace.
TheThuyaandAsticougardens,
easily found along Route 3 in the
neighboring town of Northeast
Harbor, both include plants from
Farrands Bar Harbor estate, called
Reef Point, which Farrand sold in
the mid-1950s.
The azaleas at Asticou are fin-
ishedbloomingbysummer, butAs-
ticous landscapedpondis astar at-
traction in all seasons. The garden
was created in 1956 by Charles K.
Savage, whoownedthe nearby As-
ticouInn. Thepicture-perfectpond
reflects the surrounding flowers
and trees like a mirror, and the lay-
ers of greenery and contrasting
shapes and textures look like a Ja-
panese landscape painting. Savage
also designed Thuya Garden,
where the centerpiece is spectacu-
lar rows of colorful flowers.
Those interested in learning
more about Farrand also can visit
Garland Farmon Route 3 near Bar
Harbor, whichthissummerstarted
offering regular visiting hours for
thefirst time, Thursdayafternoons
throughSept.13. Farrandretiredto
Garland Farm after dismantling
Reef Point.
Alvion Kimball, who owns the
Orland House Bed & Breakfast
about 40 miles from Seal Harbor
andis ontheboardof DownEast &
Acadia Regional Tourism, says
each of the gardens has its own
charms. At the Rockefeller proper-
ty, he likes the mossy garden best,
while the impressive showof flow-
ers at Thuya is likeanEnglishcot-
tage garden. The garden at Gar-
land Farmis a more personal gar-
den, on a smaller, intimate scale,
but Asticou with its pretty pond
and walkways is his favorite, even
without the azaleas in bloom. Its
just so understated, peaceful and
quiet, he said.
Kimball notes that Farrands
preference for indigenous plants
and natural settings was ahead of
her time. You look at whats hap-
pening today with native plants
and ecology, he said, and to me,
its almost an extension of what
shedbedoingifshewerestillhere.
