OKLAHOMA CITY Its a warning as famil-
iar as a daily prayer for Tornado Alley residents:
When a twister approaches, take shelter in a
basement or low-level interior room or closet,
away from windows and exterior walls.
But with the powerful devastation from the
May 20 twister that killed 24 and pummeled
the Oklahoma City suburb
of Moore still etched in their
minds, many Oklahomans
instead opted to ee Friday
night when a violent tornado
developed and headed toward
the states capital city.
It was a dangerous deci-
sion.
Interstates and roadways
already packed with rush-
hour trafc quickly became
parking lots as people tried to
escape the oncoming storm.
Motorists were trapped in
their vehicles a place emer-
gency ofcials say is one of
the worst to be in a tornado.
It was chaos. People were
going southbound in the
northbound lanes. Everybody
was running for their lives,
said Terri Black, 51, a teachers
assistant in Moore.
After seeing last months tornado also turn
homes into piles of splintered rubble, Black
said she decided to try and outrun the tornado
when she learned her southwest Oklahoma City
home was in harms way. She quickly regretted

At least nine killed, more than 100 injured as
tornadoes touch down Friday in Oklahoma.

Spirits high at Relay for Life
NANTICOKE High tem-
peratures and wind couldnt
stop participants at The Relay
for Life of South Valley held at
LCCC this weekend.
A Relay for Life event is a
24-hour fundraising walk spon-
sored by the American Cancer
Society. The LCCC event is in
its third year. Before the re-
lay, teams formed and raised
money. Members of the team
committed to walk a designat-
ed track for the whole 24-hour
period.
The guest speaker for the
afternoon survivor ceremony
was Libby Yeager, the director
of Curriculum and Program
Development at LCCC.
After cancer survivors and
caregivers were called to the
front, Yeager told them that
she had been associated with
the LCCC relay for several
years, but never expected to
ght the disease herself.
Diagnosed with cancer this
year, Yeager said that she had
been able to work and do the
things she liked doing while
ghting cancer. She said, Can-
cer is not dening who I am.
The group of survivors in-
cluded three sisters who have
all battled cancer and won.
Oldest sister Pauline Reedy
of Duryea was celebrating her
20-year survival after being di-
agnosed with ovarian cancer.
A few years ago, her younger
sister, Kathryn Fonzo of Avoca,
was diagnosed with breast can-
cer.
Reedy said, It was scary. My
father had cancer. I thought
that was enough.
Then three months later,
their youngest sister, Lorraine
Bartush of Dupont, found that
she had cancer too.
Bartush said that she was
scared when Fonzo was diag-
nosed, but that she was pre-
pared for her own ght with
cancer. She said that she had
already learned from Fonzos
experience. I found out you
could survive.
Bartush recalls driving to
her rst doctors appointment
after her cancer diagnosis. I
saw a billboard which said,
Talk to me. I will listen. Je-
sus. So I talked and I knew it
would be all right.
The sisters have all been
tested for the BRCA1 gene
which indicates breast cancer
susceptibility and which may
have a link to ovarian cancer,
too. Strangely, none of them
have it.
All three sisters showed a
positive attitude about their
ght against cancer.
When asked about their bad
luck, Bartush said, It was
good luck! Were surviving!
Bartush said they were walk-
ing in the LCCC relay to sup-
port the American Cancer So-
ciety.
Fonzo added, We walked
in these relays even before we
had cancer. The sisters have
participated in several differ-
ent relays in the area.
Organizers of the LCCC
event had planned live music
as well as a water balloon toss,
a hula hoop challenge and oth-
er fun activities to encourage
the teams. Booths were selling
food, souvenir items and tick-
ets to a basket rafe.
Jamie Kane, Income Devel-
opment Manager for the Amer-
ican Cancer Society, said that
last years event raised about
$22,500 last year and that
this years goal was $24,000.
He praised the organizational
skills of event chairman Mau-
reen Ryneski.
Ryneski is the Weekend
Program Coordinator for the
School of Nursing at LCCC.
She said that the college
hosted the event because its
how we can help to ght the
battle against cancer.
Sadly, Ryneski has a deeply
personal connection to the
2013 rally. I lost my mom to
cancer this year. It has more of
a special meaning now.
Participants included three
sisters who have all battled
cancer and won.

HAZLETON - City police re-
ported the following:
A 17-year-old boy driving a
sport utilty vehicle was injured
in a collision with a tractor
trailer just before 5 p.m. Sat-
urday on state Route 424. The
boy was own by helicopter to
a trauma center and the road-
way was shut down for several
hours. The boys Acura MDX
was traveling west on the road-
way when it collided with the
eastbound tractor trailer ap-
proximately one-half mile east
of South Poplar Street. The
driver of the tractor trailer,
Clyde Parrish, 66, of Wake For-
est, N.C., was not injured.
Several people were
transported to Hazleton Gen-
eral Hospital following a three-
vehicle crash at 11:30 a.m.
Saturday at the intersection
of James and 15th streets. A
Dodge driven by Dawer Pi-
mentel, 19, of Hazleton, failed
to stop for a stop sign at the
intersection, police said. Pi-
mentels vehicle collided with
a Ford F-150 pickup truck driv-
en by Dennis Grebey, 43, of
Hazle Township and a Subaru
driven by Thomas Kaschak,
51, of Jeddo. Grebey, Kaschak
and his passengers were trans-
ported by ambulance to the
hospital for treatment of minor
injuries.
Police are looking for the
driver involved in a hit and
run at 2:44 a.m. Saturday in
the area of Fourth and Seybert
streets. A black Dodge Stra-
tus with Pennsylvania license
plate JFJ6810 owned by Hec-
tor Nunez Espinal of Hazleton
was left at the scene unoccu-
pied, police said. The Dodge
was traveling east on Fourth
Street and struck a black Mer-
cury Mountaineer owned by
Pedro Y. Acosta Calderone of
West Hazleton that was legally
parked on the south side of the
street. After impact, the Moun-
taineer was pushed into a tan
Honda Odyssey owned by Di-
waly Lara of Hazleton. Anyone
with information about the
crash is asked to contact the
Hazleton Police Department
through Luzerne County 911.
An attempt was made to
break into a residence in the
400 block of East Diamond
Avenue around 12:30 a.m. Sat-
urday.
Marino Santos Diaz, 43,
of Lincoln Street was issued a
citation for violating the citys
noise ordinance after loud mu-
sic could be heard coming from
his residence at 3:12 p.m. Sat-
urday, police said.
HAZLE TWP. Grin-
ning from ear to ear, Mary
Lou Postupack slid safely
back onto planet Earth. The
78-year-old Hazleton woman
answered a question shes
wondered about her whole
life: What does it feel like to
jump from an airplane?
Her tandem-skydiving
partner congratulated her
on a job well done as he
unhooked the harness that
stuck them together. Postu-
pack raised her hands and
exclaimed: Oh, its so beau-
tiful. Id do it again.
Postupack joined a skydiv-
ing excursion Saturday with
three colleagues teachers
Nicole Accidio and Crystal
Starrick and acting Princi-
pal Carolyn Morgan from
Arthur Street Elementary
School, Hazleton. Postupack
is a volunteer teacher and
her supervisor, Lisa Yurek,
said the students they share
adore her.
Dozens of parents and stu-
dents clung to the fence at
Hazleton Municipal Airport,
cheering when parachutes
rst were spotted about a
mile above the earth.
Planes could be heard
buzzing overhead, but were
too high to see. For these
kinds of ights, they like to
take divers far up about
10,000 feet, according to
Barbara Kellner, marketing
manager for Pennsylvania
RICE TWP. For sale: A three-bed-
room, 1 bath townhouse on Patriot
Circle in Mountain Top.
Listing price: A $200 entry fee and
an essay describing why you should get
the house.
No, Andrea Koretz isnt kidding. In
fact, shes quite serious about helping
someone who might not otherwise be
able to purchase a home. I think its an
opportunity, she said. I need to sell
my home and thought it would be nice
to help someone.
Koretz, a single mother of two, said
her 14- and 16-year-old daughters, Kara
Koretz Smith and Kasey Koretz Smith,
will soon be attending a charter school
in Harrisburg, and she considered the
traditional selling route. But, after no-
ticing other similar townhouses were
selling for less than what she had paid
for the home, she knew what she had
to do.
You can really change someones
life, Koretz said. Im just going to go
for it.

LEHMAN TWP.
Park to be named for Flacks
The Back Mountain Recreation
Board of Directors will be joined by
elected ofcials, business and com-
munity leaders and area youth sports
organizations to announce the nam-
ing of the Jean and Hal Flack Family
Sports and Recreation Park.
The dedication ceremony is sched-
uled for 3 p.m. Saturday at the Back
Mountain Recreation Park, Outlet
Road.
A soccer eld already bears the
name Flack Field, in recognition of
donations from the Flack Family Fund.
The Jean and Hal Flack Family
Sports and Recreation Park was con-
ceived by an ad hoc committee made
up of residents of the Back Mountain
in 1997. The rst eld was constructed
in 2004; the park has grown to a total
of eight elds used by youth soccer,
lacrosse and football groups.
About two miles of hiking trails
of various levels of difculty wind
through 80 acres of preserved forest.
The Flacks have been an integral
part of the project since its inception.
Their generosity was critical in
working to secure matching govern-
ment grants, as well as in private fund-
raising efforts. They were instrumental
in setting up the Back Mountain
Recreation Endowment Fund managed
by The Luzerne Foundation.
Donations to the fund can be ar-
ranged by contacting the Back Moun-
tain Recreation Board.

Job Corps
ills shown
in report,
Casey says
By BILL OBOYLE
boboyle@timesleader.com
Senator asked for Inspector
Generals review on issues
that led to enrollment freeze.
WASHINGTON Citing the
need for increased accountabil-
ity and transparency, the Inspec-
tor General issued its report on
the nations Job Corps program
on Friday.
Earlier this year, U.S. Sen.
Bob Casey, D-Scranton, had
asked the Inspector Generals
Ofce to review nancial issues
that led to an enrollment freeze
at Job Corps.
Casey made his request in re-
sponse to cutbacks that threat-
ened programs and employment
at the Keystone Job Corps in
Butler Town-
ship and three
others in the
state. The pro-
grams provide
education and
job training
to disadvan-
taged young
adults ages 16
through 24.
Unfortunately, mismanage-
ment by Washingtons bureau-
cracy has undermined the pro-
gram, Casey said Friday after
reading the report. The Inspec-
tor Generals report sheds new
light on the persistent failure
to adequately budget, plan and
monitor costs.
The 52-page report states ba-
sic nancial and personnel man-
agement problems are at the
root of the trouble, Casey said.
What the report found:
A combination of untimely
communications of projected
costs in excess of total appro-
priations.
Initially planning for costs
in excess of appropriations.
Inaccurate inputs into cost
projections.
Lack of consistent monitor-
ing throughout the year.
Control defciencies in bud-
get execution, data supporting
spending projections and moni-
toring, monitoring of actual
costs, and policies and proce-
dures.
The report offered six recom-
mendations to Job Corps fund-
ing.
Casey said he intends to con-
tinue to press for improvements
to ensure Job Corps can contin-
ue to train young people to enter
the workforce and contribute to
the economy.
Casey wanted to know what
created the shortfall, which he
has maintained could prevent
1,300 students from attending
Job Corps at the four Pennsylva-
nia centers.

WASHINGTON Alcoholic bever-
ages soon could have nutritional la-
bels like those on food packaging, but
only if the producers want to put them
there.
The Treasury Department, which
regulates alcohol, said last week that
beer, wine and spirits companies can
use labels that include serving size,
servings per container, calories, carbo-
hydrates, protein and fat per serving.
Such package labels have never before
been approved.
The labels are voluntary, so it will
be up to beverage companies to de-
cide whether to use them on their
products.
The decision is a temporary, rst
step while the Alcohol and Tobacco
Trade and Tax Bureau, or TTB, con-
tinues to consider nal rules on al-
cohol labels. Rules proposed in 2007
would have made labels mandatory,
but the agency never made the rules
nal.
The labeling regulation, issued May
28, comes after a decade of lobbying
by hard liquor companies and con-
sumer groups, with clearly different
goals. The liquor companies want to
advertise low calories and low carbo-
hydrates in their products. Consumer
groups want alcoholic drinks to have
the same transparency as packaged
foods, which are required to be la-
beled.
This is actually bringing alcoholic
beverages into the modern era, says
Guy Smith, an executive vice presi-
dent at Diageo, the worlds largest dis-
tiller and maker of such well-known
brands as Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff,
Jose Cuervo and Tanqueray.
Diageo asked the bureau in 2003 to
allow the company to add that infor-
mation to its products as low-carbohy-
drate diets were gaining in popularity.
Almost 10 years later, Smith said
he expects Diageo gradually to put
the new labels on all of its products,
which include a small number of beer
and wine companies.

KINGSTON, N.H.
Shooters mother mourned
M
ore than 100 family and friends
gathered at a church Saturday to
remember the woman whose son mas-
sacred 20 rst-graders and six educators
in a Connecticut elementary school last
year.
The service was held at the First Con-
gregational Church in Kingston, where
Nancy Lanza once lived. Police Chief
Donald Briggs had said only friends and
family were invited.
She was the rst victim of her
20-year-old son Adams Dec. 14 ram-
page, shot dead in their home before
he blasted his way into Sandy Hook
Elementary School in Newtown. He
killed himself as police closed in.
The rie and two handguns Adam
Lanza took into Sandy Hook were
registered to her.
HOUSTON
Firefighter still hospitalized
One Houston reghter remained
hospitalized in critical condition Sat-
urday, a day after a massive motel and
restaurant re killed four of his fellow
reghters.
A total of 14 were hospitalized Friday
afternoon. Houston Fire Department
spokesman Jay Evans said Saturday
that other injured reghters had been
released overnight, but he did not have
a precise count.
The re broke out at a restaurant
connected to the Southwest Inn along a
busy freeway, and was the deadliest in
the 118-year history of the department.
Three reghters died at the scene,
while the fourth died at a hospital,
according to the mayors ofce and a
medical examiner.
MOGADISHU, SOMALIA
Extremists oppose vaccine
Islamic extremist rebels are ghting
a campaign in Somalia to administer a
polio vaccine, charging that it contains
the virus that causes AIDS or could
make children sterile, a battle of words
that is frustrating health workers.
Al-Shabab, the rebels linked to al-
Qaida, have discouraged many parents
from getting their children inoculated
against polio, a disease that is an incipi-
ent problem in this Horn of Africa na-
tion long plagued by armed conict and
disease, according to health workers
who spoke to The Associated Press.
The al-Shabab extremists have been
pushed out of virtually all of Somalias
cities and face continued military pres-
sure from African Union and govern-
ment troops.
LONDON
Second charged in death
British police charged a second
suspect Saturday with the murder of
a soldier who was hacked to death
in a London street, as right-wing and
antifascist groups both demonstrated in
response to a slaying that has height-
ened religious tensions in Britain.
The Metropolitan Police said 28-year-
old Michael Adebolajo was charged
with the murder of Drummer Lee
Rigby. Adebolajo also is accused of at-
tempting to murder two police ofcers,
and possession of a rearm.
Adebolajo was released from a hos-
pital Friday after treatment for injuries
suffered when he was shot by police in
the May 22 attack.

Bizarre addiction treatment tried

chained to a wall Saturday during
his 40-day incarceration at the Mia
Ali Baba shrine in Jalalabad, Afghan-

days in chains and with a restricted
diet at the 300-year old shrine can
cure the mentally ill, drug addicts
and those possessed by spirits.

Public anger flares after police violently break up anti-development sit-in
ISTANBUL In a scene reminis-
cent of the Arab Spring, thousands of
people on Saturday ooded Istanbuls
main square after a crackdown on an
anti-government protest turned city
streets into a battleeld clouded by
tear gas.
Though he offered some conces-
sions to demonstrators, Prime Minis-
ter Recep Tayyip Erdogan remained
largely deant in the face of the biggest
popular challenge to his power in a de-
cade in ofce, insisting the protests
are undemocratic and illegitimate.
Public anger has ared among urban
and secular Turks after police violent-
ly broke up an anti-development sit-in
in the square, with protests spreading
to other cities as demonstrators de-
nounced what they see as Erdogans
increasingly authoritarian style.
As the furious protests entered a
second day, police red tear gas and
turned on water cannons at angry dem-
onstrators, some of whom threw rocks
and bottles on their march toward the
citys landmark Taksim Square. In an
area normally abuzz with tourists,
stores were shuttered and protesters
ed into luxury hotels for shelter.
Turkish authorities later removed
barricades and allowed thousands of
demonstrators into the square in an ef-
fort to calm tension. Sounding deant
even as he pulled back police, Erdogan
promised to stick to the governments
redevelopment plans which pro-
testers fear will remove one of the few
green spaces in the sprawling city.
He called the protesters a minority
that was trying to forcefully impose
demands and challenged the opposi-
tion that he could easily summon a
million people for a government rally.
I am not claiming that a govern-
ment that has received the majority of
the votes has limitless powers and
can do whatever it wants, Erdogan
said in a televised speech. Just as the
majority cannot impose its will on the
minority, the minority cannot impose
its will on the majority.
Under Erdogans leadership, Turkey
has boosted economic growth and
raised its international prole, taking
a central role in post-Arab Spring poli-
tics in the region. Though widely sup-
ported by rural and conservative reli-
gious Muslims, he remains a divisive
gure in mainly secular circles and is
criticized for his often abrasive style.
Hundreds of people were injured
in the protests, including four people
who permanently lost their eyesight
after being hit by gas canister or plas-
tic bullets, Huseyin Demirdizen of
Turkeys Doctors Association told
The Associated Press. He said at least
two people injured in the protests are
in life-threatening condition.
At Taksim, protesters chanted
Tayyip resign! Turkish celebrities
joined the crowds, with thousands
milling around the square, waving
ags, and cheering and clapping at an-
ti-government speeches. Many drank
beer in protest of newly enacted alco-
hol curbs, singing cheers Tayyip!

Lutherans elect openly gay bishop
LOS ANGELES The
Evangelical Lutheran
Church of America elected
its rst openly gay bishop
to a six-year term on Friday
at an annual assembly in
Southern California, of-
cials said.
The election of Rev. Dr.
R. Guy Erwin comes after
the churchs controversial
rule change in 2009 that
allowed gays and lesbians
to be ordained in the na-
tions largest Lutheran de-
nomination. More than 600
congregations have left the
denomination since the
change.
The ELCA is a church
that belongs to Christ, and
in it there is a place for all,
said church spokeswoman
Melissa Ramirez Cooper.
The election of Pastor Er-
win illustrates what many
in the 4 million-member
church believe: that God
calls each of us by name.
Erwin, a resident of the
Woodland Hills area of Los
Angeles, currently serves as
a pastor at Faith Lutheran
Church and a professor
of Lutheran Confessional
Theology at California Lu-
theran University. He has
also served on a variety of
boards and committees of
church-related institutions
and agencies.
Ordained in May 2011,
Erwin said he waited years
for the recognition and
he brings a deep faith in
Christs presence in his
church lived out in 20 years
of parish experience blend-
ed with university and sem-
inary-level teaching.
The partnered gay man
is also the rst native
American to be elected.

Judge rules Google must give data
on certain customers to the FBI
SAN FRANCISCO Google
must comply with the FBIs de-
mand for data on certain custom-
ers as part of a national security
investigation, according to a rul-
ing by a federal judge who earlier
this year determined such gov-
ernment requests are unconsti-
tutional.
The decision involves Nation-
al Security Letters, thousands
of which are sent yearly by the
FBI to banks, telecommunication
companies and other businesses.
The letters, an outgrowth of the
USA Patriot Act passed after the
Sept. 11 attacks, are supposed to
be used exclusively for national
security purposes and are sent
without judicial review. Recipi-
ents are barred from disclosing
anything about them.
In March, U.S. District Court
Judge Susan Illston sided with
the Electronic Frontier Founda-
tion in a lawsuit brought on be-
half of an unidentied telecom-
munications company, ruling the
letters violate free speech rights.
She said the government failed to
show the letters and the blanket
non-disclosure policy serve the
compelling need of national se-
curity and the gag order creates
too large a danger that speech is
being unnecessarily restricted.
She put that ruling on hold
while the government appeals to
the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-
peals.
In the latest case, Illston sided
with the FBI after Google con-
tested the constitutionality and
necessity of the letters but again
put her ruling on hold until the
9th Circuit rules. After receiving
sworn statements from two top-
ranking FBI ofcials, Illston said
she was satised that 17 of the 19
letters were issued properly. She
wanted more information on two
other letters.
It was unclear from the judges
ruling what type of information
the government sought to ob-
tain with the letters. It was also
unclear who the government was
targeting.

Labels on alcohol could help drinkers
know what they are consuming but
only if the companies want them to.
The property includes a liv-
ing room, dining room, kitchen,
attic and deck. The townhouse
is located at 253 Patriot Circle.
Koretz consulted Wilkes-
Barre attorney Larry Kansky
about the legality of her essay
contest.
Koretz hopes to get about
580 entries enough to pay
off her $116,000 mortgage at a
$200 entry fee each and that
essays will be judged by three
independent people Koretz has
yet to ask to help her.
If it were a rafe, it would
not be legal, Kansky said.
But, an essay requires skill, so
it becomes a competitive bar-
gaining process and therefore
is legal.
Kansky said after much re-
search, he believes its a good
idea to help someone who
couldnt otherwise afford a
home.
Koretz said if she does not
receive the 580 submissions
she needs, all money will be
returned to those who enter
the contest, and shell have to
consider other ways to sell the
home.
Attorney Hank Lerner, who
works for the Pennsylvania As-
sociation of Realtors, said Ko-
retzs essay contest is legal, but
he hasnt heard of many people
selling their homes in that fash-
ion.
Each time it happens it gen-
erates a lot of press, Lerner
said.
If someone came to a mem-
ber of the association with a
similar request, said Lerner, he
would provide information on
how to structure the contest le-
gally, such as Koretz did when
consulting with Kansky. Its a
lot to think about, Lerner said.
Koretz said her gift of giving
back comes from a belief that
whatever we put out there, we
end up getting back and that
she has struggled through her
life in recent years and is going
through a healing process.
Koretz realizes people might
be skeptical of the $200 fee, but
that the amount is a fraction
of whats fronted to purchase a
house traditionally.
In my mind, it might be
worth the gamble of $200, Ko-
retz said. You have to be posi-
tive and open-minded. But I
realize it might not appeal to
everyone.
She would like to obtain a
little extra money through the
contest to help her move, but
realizes that might not happen.
Koretz will be keeping her
full-time job in sales since she
works from home, she said,
and is in the beginning stages
of developing Koretz Com-
munications, which she hopes
to eventually establish as an
agency that helps girls develop
condence and self-esteem.

The project is part of a
$158.6 million promise made
by Danville-based Geisinger
Health System that it made
when it became afliated with
Community Medical Center in
2011.
To date, its spent $20 mil-
lion on upgrades to establish an
electronic health records system
and began a $25.7 million con-
struction project to build a two-
story, 46,700-square-foot medi-
cal ofce building at the Mount
Pleasant Corporate Center in
Scranton.
The remaining $14 million
will be used on a yet-to-be-deter-
mined project, Wilson said.
Our goal is to build this ar-
eas most comprehensive and
integrated health system and
provide high-quality, advanced
care so patients will not feel
the need to leave town for great
care, said Bob Steigmeyer,
the chief executive ofcer of
Geisinger-Community Medical
Center.
The work that will soon begin

Skydiving Center, which car-
ried out the jump.
Once out of the plane, jump-
ers plummet unhindered for a
mile, Kellner said. This takes
about 30 seconds before they
release their parachutes for a
slow descent to solid ground,
Kellner said.
The jump was incentive for
a school project that Principal
Morgan had proposed, asking
students collectively to read
3,000 books by the school
years end.
Most of the children speak
Spanish as a rst language, and
Morgan knew for the project to
work, parents would have to
get involved.
Morgan announced before
the jump that, after tallying
students reading logs, they
counted 7,726 books read since
October a feat Morgan said
shows the great collaboration
teachers, students and parents
share at Arthur Street.
Postupack is a member of
the Wyoming/Luzerne Coun-
ties Foster Grandparents pro-
gram.
The program pays about
130 volunteers a stipend and
feeds them lunch during their
shifts, which take up, at most,
20 hours per week, said Mary
Lou Zerfoss, the programs di-
rector.
The volunteer teacher
who most conrmed has a
reputation for having spunk
said when the teachers agreed
to jump, she knew it was her
chance to realize a lifelong
dream.
I used to take little com-
muter ights to New York
every weekend, Postupack
said.
And I remember looking
down over the beautiful scen-
ery and wondering what it
would be like to jump.

When she realized she was a
sitting duck in bumper-to-bum-
per trafc, Black turned around
and found herself directly in the
path of the most violent part of
the storm.
My car was actually lifted
off the road and then set back
down, Black said. The trees
were leaning literally to the
ground. The rain was coming
down horizontally in front of
my car. Big blue trash cans were
being tossed around like a piece
of paper in the wind.
Ill never do it again.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol
Trooper Betsy Randolph said
the roadways were quickly con-
gested with the convergence
of rush-hour trafc and eeing
residents.
They had no place to go, and
thats always a bad thing. They
were essentially targets just
waiting for a tornado to touch
down, Randolph said.
At least nine people were
killed in Fridays storms, in-
cluding a mother and her baby
sucked out of their car as a dead-
ly twister tore its way along a
packed Interstate 40 near the
town of El Reno, about 30 miles
from Oklahoma City.
We believe all the victims
were in vehicles when the storm
came through, Canadian Coun-
ty Undersheriff Chris West said
Saturday.
More than 100 people were
injured, most of those from
punctures and lacerations from
swirling debris, emergency of-
cials reported.
Oklahoma wasnt the only
state to see violent weather on
Friday night. In Missouri, areas
west of St. Louis received sig-
nicant damage from an EF3
tornado that packed estimated
winds of 150 mph. In St. Charles
County, at least 71 homes were
heavily damaged and 100 had
slight to moderate damage,
county spokeswoman Colene
McEntee said.
Tens of thousands were with-
out power, and only eight minor
injuries were reported. Gov. Jay
Nixon declared a state of emer-
gency.
Northeast of St. Louis and
across the Mississippi, the city
of Roxana was hit by an EF3
tornado as well, but National
Weather Service meteorologist
Jayson Gosselin said it wasnt
clear whether the damage in
both states came from the same
EF3 twister or separate ones.
Back in Oklahoma, Amy Wil-
liamson, who lives just off I-40
in the western Oklahoma City
suburb of Yukon, said when she
learned the tornado was moving
toward her home, she piled her
two young children, baby sitter
and two cats into her SUV.
We felt like getting out of
the way was the best idea, Wil-
liamson said. It was 15 minutes
away from my house, and they
were saying it was coming right
down I-40, so we got in the car
and decided to head south.
Williamson said she knows
emergency ofcials recommend
taking shelter inside a structure,
but fresh in her mind was the
devastation of the Moore tor-
nado. Seeing homes stripped to
their foundation made her think
that eeing was the best idea,
she said.
Im a seasoned tornado
watcher but I just could not
see staying and waiting for it to
hit, she said. She ended up rid-
ing out the storm in a hospital
parking garage.
On Saturday, muddy ood-
waters stood several feet deep
in the countryside surround-
ing the metro area. Torrential
downpours followed for hours
after the twisters moved east
up to 7 inches of rain in some
parts and the citys airport
had water damage. Some ights
resumed Saturday.
The Oklahoma County Sher-
iffs Ofce said a man was
missing from a vehicle near
Harrah, east of Oklahoma City.
Roadways around the area were
crumbling because of water, es-
pecially near an intersection in
northeastern Oklahoma City
and in Canadian County south
of I-40, between Mustang and
Yukon.
When the storm passed be-
tween El Reno and Yukon, it
barreled down I-40 for more
than two miles, ripping bill-
boards down to twisted metal
frames. Debris was tangled in
the medians crossover barriers,
including huge pieces of sheet
metal, tree limbs and a giant oil
drum.
The warped remains of a
horse trailer lay atop a barbed-
wire fence less than 50 yards
from the highway.

JOSEPH J. VETACK JR.,
85, of Pittston, died Saturday
morning.
Funeral arrangements
are pending from the Baloga
Funeral Home Inc. , 1201 Main
St., Pittston (Port Grifth).
A full obituary will appear in
Mondays edition.
NEW YORK Jean Staple-
ton, the stage-trained character
actress who played Archie Bun-
kers far better half, the sweetly
naive Edith, in TVs ground-
breaking 1970s comedy All in
the Family, has died. She was
90.
Stapleton died Friday of natu-
ral causes at her New York City
home surrounded by friends and
family, her children said Satur-
day.
Little known to the public be-
fore All In the Family, she co-
starred with Carroll OConnor in
the top-rated CBS sitcom about
an unrepentant bigot, the wife
he churlishly but fondly called
Dingbat, their daughter Gloria
(Sally Struthers) and liberal son-
in-law Mike, aka Meathead (Rob
Reiner).
Stapleton received eight
Emmy nominations and won
three times during her eight-year
tenure with All in the Family.
Produced by Norman Lear, the
series broke through the timid-
ity of U.S. TV with social and
political jabs and ranked as the
No. 1-rated program for an un-
precedented ve years in a row.
Lear would go on to create a run
of socially conscious sitcoms.
Stapleton also earned Emmy
nominations for playing Eleanor
Roosevelt in the 1982 lm Elea-
nor, First Lady of the World and
for a guest appearance in 1995
on Grace Under Fire.
Her big-screen lms included
a pair directed by Nora Ephron:
the 1998 Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan
romance Youve Got Mail and
1996s Michael starring John
Travolta. She also turned down
the chance to star in another
popular sitcom, Murder, She
Wrote, which became a show-
case for Angela Lansbury.
The theater was Stapletons
rst love and she compiled a rich
resume, starting in 1941 as a New
England stock player and mov-
ing to Broadway in the 1950s and
60s. In 1964, she originated the
role of Mrs. Strakosh in Funny
Girl with Barbra Streisand. Oth-
ers musicals and plays included
Bells Are Ringing, Rhinocer-
os and Damn Yankees, in which
her performance and the nasal
tone she used in All in the Fam-
ily attracted Lears attention
and led to his auditioning her for
the role of Archies wife.
I wasnt a leading lady type,
she once told The Associated
Press. I knew where I belonged.
And actually, I found character
work much more interesting
than leading ladies. Edith, of
the dithery manner, cheerfully
high-pitched voice and family
loyalty, charmed viewers but was
viewed by Stapleton as submis-
sive and, she hoped, removed
from reality. In a 1972 New York
Times interview, she said she
didnt think Edith was a typical
American housewife at least
I hope shes not.
What Edith represents is the
housewife who is still in bondage
to the male gure, very submis-
sive and restricted to the home.
She is very naive, and she kind
of thinks through a mist, and she
lacks the education to expand her
world. I would hope that most
housewives are not like that,
said Stapleton, whose character
regularly obeyed her husbands
demand to stie yourself.
But Edith was honest and
compassionate, and in most
situations she says the truth and
pricks Archies inated ego, she
added.
She confounded Archie with
her malapropos You know
what they say, misery is the best
company and open-hearted
acceptance of others, including
her beleaguered son-in-law and
African-Americans and other mi-
norities that Archie disdained.
As the series progressed,
Stapleton had the chance to of-
fer a deeper take on Edith as the
character faced milestones in-
cluding a breast cancer scare and
menopause. She was proud of
the shows political edge, citing
an episode about a draft dodger
who clashes with Archie as a per-
sonal favorite.

Separate Great Lakes, Mississippi
to keep carp out, Ill. governor says
Crews battle raging western wildres
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn said
Saturday that separating the
Great Lakes and Mississippi
River systems is the ultimate
solution to prevent voracious
Asian carp from overrunning
the lakes, a potential step to-
ward resolving a longstanding
regional feud.
During a meeting with gov-
ernors of several neighboring
states, Quinn said it would be
a massive and costly under-
taking to rework the Chicago
canal project that linked the
two giant watersheds a cen-
tury ago. He defended Illinois
efforts to block the advance of
silver and bighead carp toward
the lakes by hiring commercial
shermen and operating an
electric barrier, but acknowl-
edged more needs to be done.
Ultimately, I think we have
to separate the basins, Quinn
said. I really feel that is the ul-
timate solution.
His comment during a
Council of Great Lakes Gover-
nors panel discussion on this
Lake Huron resort island drew
applause from government
ofcials, environmental advo-
cates and others in attendance.
I hope youre clapping when
Congress comes to invest the
money, Quinn said. It has to
be a national project.
But Indiana Gov. Mike
Pence, a Republican whose
state has sided with Illinois
in opposing separation, told
reporters his position had not
changed. It would cost thou-
sands of Hoosier jobs and
cause additional harm to many
Hoosiers to manufacture and
grow our products, Pence
said. Its important that we
deal with this issue but its also
important that we deal with it
in a way preserves the logisti-
cal advantages and opportuni-
ty to move commerce through
our region.
Asian carp were imported
in the 1970s to cleanse Deep
South aquaculture and sew-
age treatment ponds. Some
escaped during oods and
have migrated northward in
the Mississippi River and its
tributaries.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
Fire crews in New Mexico on
Saturday fought two growing
wild blazes that have scorched
thousands of acres, spurred
evacuation calls for dozens of
homes and poured smoke into
the touristy state capital.
State ofcials said the uncon-
tained blaze near Santa Fe had
spread to 8 square miles, mak-
ing it apparently the largest of
several wildres burning in the
West as it placed the city under
a blanket of haze. The thick
smoke also covered the Gallinas
Canyon and Las Vegas, N.M.
The re in New Mexicos San-
ta Fe National Forest is burn-
ing just 25 miles from the city,
prompting the Red Cross to set
up an emergency shelter at a
nearby high school.
Ofcials asked residents in
about 140 summer homes to
evacuate as a crew of 340 bat-
tled the ames near the com-
munities of Pecos and Tres La-
gunas.
Crews also cleared out camp-
grounds and closed trailheads
in the area as they worked to
prevent the re from moving
toward the capital citys water-
shed and more populated areas.
The state Department of
Health warned residents in the
Pecos, Santa Fe and Espanola
areas to prepare for smoke and
take precautions by avoiding
prolonged or physical activity
outdoors.
Potentially unhealthy con-
ditions could occur in these
communities overnight and
into the early morning, a
statement released by health
ofcials said.

For 90th birthday, pilot plans 90 border crossings
GRAND ISLAND, N.Y. Loved ones of
John Lawton will gaze heavenward on his
90th birthday Monday.
Again and again and again.
Otherwise, they might miss his Cessna
172 as he attempts to make 90 ying pas-
sages across the U.S.-Canadian border.
Somehow, I got a wild idea that I needed
to do something different for my birthday,
said Lawton, who has been a pilot for 56
years.
From the Ohio airport he bought follow-
ing a career at the former Cornell Aeronau-
tical Laboratory in Buffalo, Lawton set his
sights on a watery stretch of the northern
border in the Niagara River, north of Buf-
falo.
The spot gives him a good view of the
border, he said. Its also near where Lawton
had what he calls the closest call of his y-
ing career, a disorienting, dark and snowy
ight home froma December 1956 business
meeting in Syracuse. It ended with an unan-
nounced landing at Buffalo Niagara Interna-
tional Airport, which had been closed amid
an 11-inch snowfall.
Lawton hopes for clear skies when he
takes off from that same airport Monday
and spends an estimated one to two hours
at an altitude of around 3,500 feet, perform-
ing a series of tight, nearly aerobatic, gure-
eight patterns in his four-seat airplane.
He has asked his non-pilot daughter,
Brenda, along for the ride. Lawtons son, a
pilot, will stay on the ground so no one can
question who was really at the controls.
Ive been working on it and am trying
to perfect the ying technique to do it,
Lawton said by phone from his Westeld
Township, Ohio, home. He has made prac-
tice runs over a roadway to get a feel for the
turns and timing.
The Federal Aviation Administrations
Buffalo approach control, which oversees
the airspace at low altitudes, has signed off
on the ight. Lawton also has gained sup-
port from fellow ier Claudia Childs. The
former chief of detectives for the Buffalo Po-
lice Department opened Little Bird Airways
after retiring, offering scenic ights over
western New York.
Lawton got in touch with Childs after
reading in a Buffalo News prole that she
wants to y on her 90th birthday still 3
decades away.
I was a cop for 25 years. Im thinking,
Who am I talking to? Childs recalled of
the rst phone call. She was convinced he
was the real thing after learning of his cre-
dentials and plans, meticulously thought-
out in his scientists way.

ALBANY, N.Y. They come
in brightly colored, shiny pack-
ages in fun avors such as choc-
olate, blueberry, gummy bear,
wine and pink berry. But the
American Cancer Society says
the little cigars and packages of
loose tobacco are aimed at kids
and are just as deadly as ciga-
rettes.
The American Cancer Society
is pushing to make New York the
rst state to enact a comprehen-
sive restriction on the sale of can-
dy- and fruit-avored cigarillos,
chewing tobacco and tobacco
used in water pipes. Its proposal
would restrict the sale of all fruit-
and candy-avored tobacco prod-
ucts to tobacco shops, banning
those products from convenience
stories.
Maine bans the sale of larger
premium avored cigars and
other states including Maryland
have proposed laws, according to
the University of Maryland Law
School. New York City and Provi-
dence, R.I., also have restricted
the sale of avored tobacco.
If New York acts, it would be
the rst state in the nation, and
turbocharge efforts nationally,
said Blair Horner, vice president
of advocacy at the American Can-
cer Society and Cancer Action
Network of New York and New
Jersey.
The little cigars, chewing to-
bacco and loose tobacco for use
in water pipes are sold individu-
ally for as little as 99 cents or in
packs and avoid stiff cigarette
taxes aimed at dissuading young
people from smoking.
I couldnt believe this when I
sawit, Horner said. Lawmakers
may not even know about them
this ease of access of cheap,
tasty, and deadly tobacco.
New York law prohibits the
sale of tobacco products to any-
one under age 18. But anti-smok-
ing advocates say restricting
sales to adults-only smoke shops
would stymie illegal sales and
hinder youths purchasing ciga-
rettes through an adult who buys
them at a corner store.
Not everyone agrees with the
proposed crackdown on sweet
smokes.
This is an adult product,
like you have avored liquors,
said Audrey Silk, founder of
NYC CLASH, a national smok-
ers rights group based in New
York City. The avoring is an
excuse to exploit the emotional
driven for the children (argu-
ment). Adults should be allowed
to smoke avored tobacco. There
are already laws that exist that
restrict sales to minors.
Driving avored cigars and
other products out of conve-
nience stories will simply drive
sales to unregulated sources,
such as the Internet, the mail, or
Indian tribes, said James Calvin,
president of the New York Asso-
ciation of Convenience Stores.
Do you want them sold in a
regulated environment or sold
without any controls? Calvin
said.
There has been a rise in a-
vored tobacco products over the
last ve years, he said, and store
owners have improved compli-
ance to 94 percent in state stings
to root out stores selling ciga-
rettes to underage customers. A
decade ago, the compliance rate
was 80 percent, he said.
A tobacco industry spokes-
woman had no immediate com-
ment Friday. Tobacco companies
have said they oppose smoking
by those under age 18. The com-
panies have mounted extensive
efforts to curb youth smoking
and some of the billions the com-
panies paid in a nationwide court
settlement have been directed at
keeping minors from starting to
smoke.
In 2009, the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration banned
candy-, fruit- and clove-avored
cigarettes. Federal health au-
thorities and regulators say
those products appeal especially
to young people and are thought
to attract new smokers. The FDA
says 17-year-old smokers are
three times as likely to use a-
vored cigarettes as smokers over
the age of 25.
The agency says almost 90
percent of adult smokers picked
up the habit as teenagers, and
it estimates the 2009 ban helps
prevent an average of more than
3,600 young people each day
from starting to smoke.
The ban on manufacturing, im-
porting, marketing and distribut-
ing avored cigarettes didnt in-
clude menthol cigarettes or some
avored tobacco products such
as cigars. The FDA is studying
those products.
Cancer Society says sweet smokes aimed at kids
Wants to restrict sale of all
fruit-, candy-avored tobacco
items in N.Y. to tobacco shops.

ELEGANT
HOMES, LLC.
ELEGANT HOMES
ELEGANT HOMES is a fam-
ily owned and operated
home building and land de-
velopment company based
in Dallas, Pennsylvania. For
over twenty years we have
specialized in custom home
building throughout Luzerne
and Lackawanna counties.
Over the last few years our
main focus has been an 85 acre exclusive development called
AMBER WOODS located in Shavertown, Pa. Natural beauty
abounds in the mostly wooded area with picturesque stream run-
ning through the middle of it and is insured by protective cov-
enants. Large lot sizes from 1 acre up to over 5 acres create the
sense of living in the woods with all the benefts of a develop-
ment such as underground utilities and township roads. One of
our goals is NOT to build the same design twice. This creates
challenge, but makes for a very diversifed and uncommon neigh-
borhood.
Another project we are currently involved in is townhouse devel-
opment in Kingston Pa. We are trying to convey the quality and
craftsmanship of our custom build homes into this twin units. For
example our standards include: marble and ceramic tile foors,
granite kitchen vanity tops, cherry cabinets and hardwood foors.
We want to make them special and we think weve succeeding in
accomplishing that.
Our latest upcoming project is 15 acre development in Hanover
Twp. called SUNNY HILLS. Two new roads will be lined with 46
luxuries twins. All underground utilities, attractive design, great
value and closnest to major highways are sure wining attributes
of this development.
The small size of our company lets us stay focused on current
projects and dedicate our full attention to them. We are striving to
assist and satisfy our customers needs before, during and after
construction. This builds a strong relationship with our custom-
ers and keeps them coming back to us for all their construction
needs.

new home rule government
and its administration, but
none of the employees who left
have publicly identied either
as a reason.
Lawton said he and existing
staffers are covering the duties
of these workers for now be-
cause hes not rushing to ll the
openings. I want to be com-
fortable that we have the best
applicants, he said.
Lawton is keeping job adver-
tisements for the operational
and human services division
heads, purchasing director and
chief engineer posted on the
county website until he and the
human resources department
are satised theres a sufcient
pool of qualied contenders.
Human services is a $90 mil-
lion enterprise with changing
regulations and funding param-
eters that provides services to
vulnerable residents, including
children who might be abused,
addicts and the elderly, Lawton
said.
It requires a leader with the
right combination of nancial
acumen, managerial skills and
program knowledge, he said.
County Councilman Edward
Brominski said all division
heads should be on-board as re-
quired by home rule. He points
to the home rule charter, which
says the manager can only des-
ignate a qualied person to
serve as temporary head of a
division for up to 90 days in any
calendar year.
Wearing several hats
County Human Services s-
cal ofcer Mary Dysleski has
been serving as interim human
services division head since
January 2012. Shes also acting
manager of drug and alcohol
and mental health since those
directors left. Dysleski said she
did not apply for the permanent
human services division head
position.
Lawton never appointed an
interim operational services
division head, largely because
Gibbons was primarily cover-
ing those duties as chief en-
gineer. Operational services
includes engineering, roads
and bridges, recreation, solid
waste/recycling, planning/zon-
ing, emergency management,
911, building and grounds and
security.
The mental health and drug
and alcohol director positions
havent been advertised be-
cause Lawton wants Dysleski
and/or the yet-to-be-hired hu-
man services division head to
study the feasibility of combin-
ing the two departments into
a behavioral health unit. That
consolidation would eliminate
one director position or down-
grade it to a lower-paid deputy
director post, he said.
The time to make that
change is when you have two
management vacancies, he
said.
The county has been accept-
ing applications for the pur-
chasing director since October,
after Frank Pugliese obtained a
school district job. The county
grants writer was temporar-
ily put in charge of the depart-
ment.
Lawton said Parsnik will take
the lead selecting the purchas-
ing director because that de-
partment is in the administra-
tive services division.
The county Flood Protection
Authority board members also
are taking time to select an ex-
ecutive director to replace Jim
Brozena, who retired in Janu-
ary to start his own consulting
business.
Authority members had in-
terviewed three qualied appli-
cants, but one is no longer avail-
able. Authority board member
Adrian Merolli, who is county
planning/zoning director, said
the board agreed to search for
additional applicants.
The authority executive
director must be a licensed
professional engineer in Penn-
sylvania and will oversee the
Wyoming Valley Levee system.
The vacant management po-
sitions are posted on the career
opportunities section of the
county website, www.luzerne-
county.org, with the following
salaries:
911 executive director,
$60,000
Operational services divi-
sion head, $70,000-$85,000
Human services division
head, $70,000-$85,000
Budget and fnancial ser-
vices division head, $75,000-
$90,000
Flood Protection Author-
ity executive director, $70,000
minimum
Purchasing director,
$40,000-$50,000
Chief engineer, $56,000-
$84,000
County Councilman Rick
Morelli, a home rule charter
drafter, encourages qualied
area residents to take advan-
tage of the opportunity to apply
for these positions if theyre
up for the challenge. There
are no more uff favor jobs that
were given out in the past, Mo-
relli said. Home rule was de-
signed to clean up the county,
and people have to work and be
accountable.
County Councilman Jim Bo-
beck said county managers are
increasingly expected to deliv-
er a high level of public services
while shrinking expenses.
County work is demanding,
naturally disposed to public
criticism and often requires
effort above the pay-grade,
Bobeck said. However, it pro-
vides an opportunity to shape
your community, leave the
spectators behind and make a
positive impact that helps oth-
ers in inestimable ways, which
few private enterprises can
match.

Va. town no longer hog heaven?
SMITHFIELD, Va. You
cant go far in this historic south-
eastern Virginia town without
seeing a pig.
A herd of life-size swine stat-
ues lines its downtown, an orna-
ment of a piglet wearing a ban-
danna adorns a front lawn, hams
hang in storefronts and a pickup
truck aunts the license plate
PIG TIME.
The home of the worlds larg-
est pork producer and maker
of famous Smitheld hams is
divided in its reaction to news
that the company agreed to be
bought by a Chinese company.
The reception is as mixed as
whether the locals favor salt-
cured or sugar-cured ham.
Smitheld Foods Inc. agreed
to a $4.72 billion offer from Sh-
uanghui International Holdings
Ltd., the majority shareholder in
Chinas largest meat processor.
The deal, which would be the
largest takeover of a U.S. compa-
ny by a Chinese rm, still faces
a federal regulatory review and
Smitheld shareholder approval.
Steps from the site where the
company was founded in 1936,
residents in the Ham Capital of
the World greet each other on
a main street lined with white
picket fences and Victorian-style
homes, and welcome a neighbor
back from a recent trip out of
town. Just down the road, work-
ers shufe into the companys
packing plants for their shifts.
Looking out on the street
thats lined with antique cars
every weekend, locals frequent
Smitheld Gourmet Bakery and
Beanery, grabbing their morn-
ing coffee and pastry. Some are
shocked that China would own
our Smitheld, said Carolyn
Burke, a longtime resident who
owns the eatery.
Its Smitheld ham, its not
China ham, Burke said.
And shes right: Pork pro-
duced here for more than 300
years became so popular that
many places in the 1930s tried to
pass off their ham as Smitheld
ham, which led to branding each
ham so customers knew it was
authentic. The state even passed
a since-revised law in 1926, stat-
ing the Smitheld ham moni-
ker could only be used for cuts
of peanut-fed hogs processed
and salt-cured in the town limits.
The town also is home to the
worlds oldest cured ham from
1902 at the Isle of Wight mu-
seum complete with its own
brass collar around the hock.
As important as the pork it-
self is Smitheld Foods, which
employs about 3,800 people in
Virginia. In its most recent scal
year, it brought in sales of more
than $13 billion.
Residents in the Ham Capital
of the World ponder company

Within two hours, the bod-
ies were found. Then charred
bones; investigators said the
charred remains belonged to
Frank James, Adeiye Keiler and
a third person who has never
been identied.
The property was a crime
scene for 35 days before it was
released back to its owner,
Christina Strom, on July 9,
2003. She had been Selenskis
girlfriend at the time.
To the chagrin of victims
family members, the decade-old
case against Selenski, 39, has
lingered in the judicial system,
bogged down by appeals, chang-
es in court personnel and other
legalities. Later this month, Sel-
enski is scheduled for trial on
charges he strangled Kerkowski
and Fassett with plastic ex ties.
High drama
The frequently stalled case
seems more like a television
sitcom mixed with all-too-real
drama and adventure.
Selenski was once considered
by some to be a heartthrob.
Now, at 39, he is a grandfather
as one of his children with a
former girlfriend, Carey Bartoo,
had a child of her own.
When Selenski initially was
brought in for hearings, the
courthouse basement hallway
where shackled inmates shufe
to courtrooms were lled with
onlookers, including courthouse
employees and blood-drive vol-
unteers. A few courthouse em-
ployees had his picture posted
in their cubicles, and a female
intern at the courthouse jumped
into the elevator with him only
to be picked up and shoved out
by sheriff deputies.
That was then.
Now, the hallway is deserted
except for the occasional re-
porter and photographer jotting
down one of his snappy quotes
or capturing his photo.
Many players involved early in
the case have moved on to other
careers, resigned or retired. At
least two witnesses, including
Kerkowskis father, Michael
Stanley Kerkowski, have died,
while other witnesses had to
have their testimony preserved
on video for fear of their demise.
A few highlights of the his-
tory of the Selenski saga:
District Attorney David W.
Lupas went head-to-head with
Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr.
Lupas pick of part-time as-
sistant district attorneys Joseph
Giovannini Jr. and Ingrid Cro-
nin to moderate the case and
prosecute Selenski backred
when they resigned in 2004.
An ill-fated single-answer
response was given by the dis-
trict attorneys ofce involving
the theory of who killed James
and Keiler.
Selenskis escaped from
the seventh oor of the county
correctional facility on Oct. 10,
2003.
Lupas criticized the correc-
tional facility and its operations.
A three-day national search
for Selenski ended at the Mount
Olivet Road house with his vol-
untary surrender. A news con-
ference to announce Selenskis
capture was nationally televised
on CNN.
A study of the correctional
facility after the escape detailed
faulty windows and ofcers
watching television.
A carousel of judges have
been assigned to preside over
the Selenski case, with one
of the presiding judges being
charged with domestic assault.
Olszewskis dismissal of the
escape charges against Selenski
faulted the district attorneys of-
ce failure to merge the James/
Keiler homicide case with the
escape for trial. The escape
charge would be reinstated after
an appeal.
The accidental opening of
sealed search warrants in the
Selenski case from an over-
stuffed safe inside the county
Clerks of Courts Ofce.
Olszewskis dismissal of
Selenskis comment Yeah, ve
of them, when responding to a
troopers question if any bodies
would be found on the Kingston
Township property.
Selenskis mocking of Lu-
pas in prison drawings made
with food coloring.
Attorney Demetrius Fan-
nicks services for free in suc-
cessfully defending Selenski for
the shotgun slayings of James
and Keiler.
Fannick coining the phrase
Pat the rat when referring to
Pat Russin, a prosecution wit-
ness and former housemate of
Selenski.
Fannicks theatrics of scat-
tering shotgun pellets during
his closing argument to the jury
at the end of a two-week trial in
March 2006.
Selenskis conviction by
a Monroe County jury in July
2009 for the kidnapping and
robbery of jewelry store owner
Samuel Goosay in January 2002.
Co-defendant and former
Selenski ally Paul Weakley
pleading guilty to a federal
charge of racketeer inuence
and corrupt organizations
that included the homicides of
Kerkowski, Fassett and the Goo-
say robbery.
Selenski represented him-
self for three months before
attorneys Shelley Centini and
Walter Rymsza were hired as
independent contractors in
January 2012, earning more
than $100,000 in less than 15
months.
Changes of district attorney
as Lupas was elected a county
judge, Jacqueline Musto Carroll
was elected and later lost her
bid at re-election to insurance
attorney Stefanie Salavantis in
2011.
Selenskis outbursts during
court proceedings.
Weakley, serving life in
prison, claimed in federal court
documents that he has been
stabbed and beaten for testify-
ing against Selenski.
An uncovered plot by state
inmate Michael Scerbo to hire a
hit man to kill Weakley. Scerbo
was in a cell next to Selenski at
a state prison in Newport Town-
ship.
Indeed, the Selenski case in-
volved drama and adventure.
And its not over yet.
The nal chapter has yet to be
written.
How it all began
Selenski and Weakley met
in federal prison. Selenski was
serving a seven-year sentence
for a 1994 bank robbery in
Plains Township, and Weakley
was sentenced to nine years for
making pipe bombs in Michigan
in the early 1990s.
Selenski was released in Janu-
ary 2001; Weakley was freed 14
months later.
After Weakley got out, Selen-
ski offered him a place to stay
at a house on Miller Street in
Luzerne, where Selenski was
living with his then-girlfriend
Christina Strom.
Strom in testimony during
court proceedings said she did
not like Weakley, but she did
help him buy a car and nd an
apartment on Pulaski Street in
Kingston.
In April 2002, Weakley got
a job at a water ltration busi-
ness he would burglarized two
months later.
State police Trooper Gerald
Sachney investigated the bur-
glary and charged Weakley in
October 2002.
Meanwhile, county Lt. Detec-
tive Gary Capitano was investi-
gating a burglary involving a bar-
tenders apartment in Kingston
Township in March 2003. Capi-
tano targeted Weakley as one of
two suspects.
During the afternoon on May
2, 2002, Kerkowski was outside
his Hunlock Township home
cutting grass preparing to host a
birthday party for his son while
Fassett was on the telephone
talking to Kerkowskis mother,
Gerry Kerkowski, who resided in
Lehman Township.
Fassett told Gerry Kerkowski
they have company but did
not say who. Gerry Kerkowski
invited her son and Fassett to
stop at their Lehman Township
house to see a new television
they had purchased. Fassett said
they would stop over after pick-
ing up Kerkowskis two sons from
school.
When Kerkowski and Fassett
failed to show at his parents
house, Michael Stanley Kerkows-
ki and his wife went for a ride, re-
turning to their home and an an-
gry voice mail from Kerkowskis
estranged wife, Kimberly, saying
the two boys had not been picked
up from school.
Michael Stanley and his wife
went to their sons house, found
a garage door propped open,
their sons car parked in an un-
usual way, a vacuum cleaner
out of place and a bakers rolling
pin that normally hung in the
kitchen on the basement oor. A
comforter on a bed was gone and
tapes for a surveillance system
were missing.
Kerkowski was reported miss-
ing to the state police at Shick-
shinny, and Fassett reported
missing to the state police at
Tunkhannock, soon after their
families had not heard from
them.
When Weakley appeared for
a court appearance on June 2,
2003, for the burglary at the wa-
ter ltration business, Capitano
spoke with him about the bar-
tender burglary. As Capitano got
up to leave, Weakleys attorney,
Thomas Cometa, told him to sit
down, There was more.
Weakley is said to have provid-
ed information about the where-
abouts of Kerkowski and Fassett.
Capitano teamed up with Sa-
chney and typed out a nine-page
search warrant for the Kingston
Township property on June 2. On
that day Weakley was driven past
the Mount Olivet Road house in
an unmarked, 2001 Chevrolet
cargo van owned by state police,
and three times he pointed out
for investigators the area where
the bodies of Kerkowski and Fas-
sett were buried.
June 5, 2003
A team of troopers and county
detectives met at the Wyoming
barracks on the morning of June
5, 2003, and later gathered at the
entrance to Frances SlocumState
Park, about one-half mile from
the Mount Olivet Road home.
Three troopers were stationed in
the woods behind the house.
A little after 11 a.m., Capitano
and Sachney took the search war-
rant to Senior Judge Pat Toole
for his review and, they hoped,
signature.
While Toole was reviewing the
search warrant afdavit, Selen-
skis three dogs began barking
at the troopers in the woods,
prompting a decision by state
police Lt. Richard Krawetz, then
a sergeant, to go on the property
without the search warrant in
hand.
Krawetz was met in the drive-
way by Selenski, who was in-
formed of the pending search
warrant for bodies buried on the

TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SunDAy, JunE 2, 2013 N E W S PAGE 14A
State police cadaver canine,
Jake, was released from a cruiser
and after 15 minutes, just after
noon, the dog settled on the area
behind a concrete pad for the
homes water well, where the
bodies of Kerkowski and Fassett
were found. The chemistry of
the soil was different in this area
and showed evidence it was dis-
turbed at some time.
Selenski voluntarily was driv-
en to the state police barracks
where he saw Weakley entering
the building. He opted not to
answer questions without an at-
torney.
Free to leave, Selenski was be-
ing driven back to his home by
state police Cpl. Gary Vogue. As
Vogue was leaving the parking
lot, he was instructed to return
Selenski to the barracks. Selen-
ski was removed from the cruiser
and arrested on charges he red a
round froma .32-caliber handgun
during a robbery of Kerkowskis
father, Michael Stanley.
Arrest papers alleged Selenski
extorted $100,000 from the el-
der Kerkowski in 2002 under the
guise his son was still alive and
needed money.
While handcuffed and chained
to an eyebolt in the oor, Selens-
ki was being watched by Trooper
John Yencha, who had just start-
ed his shift. Selenski initiated a
conversation with Yencha dur-
ing which the trooper asked him
if any bodies would be found.
Selenski replied, Yeah, ve of
them.
Olszewski would later pro-
hibit prosecutors from using the
alleged self-incriminating state-
ment because Selenski had not
been read his rights.
First body found
Back at the Mount Olivet Road
property, investigators were dig-
ging in the area where canine
Jake had settled. Just after 1
p.m., the body of Kerkowski was
rst to be found. Fassetts body
was under Kerkowski.
Wyoming County Coroner
George Skumanick arrived at
Mount Olivet Road at about 3:30
p.m., parking his SUV in the
driveway. He got out, walked to
where the digging was taking
place and spoke to Lupas and
other investigators. Skumanick
stayed for about 20 minutes and
left.
Selenski was arraigned just
after 5 p.m. on robbery and theft
charges.
Just before 6 p.m., Lupas,
Giovannini, Trooper Martin
Connors and the late Luzerne
County Coroner George E. Hu-
dock walked down the drive-
way and held an impromptu
news conference conrming for
reporters that two bodies had
been located.
Fassetts sister, Lisa Sands,
said she was shopping earlier in
the day of June 3 with another
sister at Hoof & Paw Jeans in
Dallas when she noticed two
state police cruisers speed pass
the store. She immediately got
sick to her stomach, she said,
and told her sister, We gotta
go.
Sands went to her Meshop-
pen home and learned details
about the unfolding crime scene
on Mount Olivet Road on televi-
sion. She said two troopers came
to her house late at night to say
her sisters body had been found.
A few days after state police
took control of the property, a
dramatic scene unfolded as in-
vestigators using umbrellas to
shield two men from cameras
and reporters led them into the
woods behind the house. The
two men were Russin and Weak-
ley, who were not known at the
time by the media.
Bone fragments found
Charred bone fragments were
found in a burn pit and garbage
bags on the property in the en-
suing days after the bodies of
Kerkowski and Fassett were
found.
Certied death certicates
have never been issued for two
of the remains investigators
identied through DNA analy-
sis as Frank James and Adeiye
Keiler.
Investigators alleged Selenski
and Pat Russin, who lived with
Selenski and Strom, lured the
two men to Mount Olivet Road
to rob them of money and crack
cocaine on May 13, 2003. Keiler
was picked up by Selenski at
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
earlier that day where Keilers
girlfriend, Joritta Bradford, was
discharged after giving birth to
their child.
Selenski drove Keiler and
Bradford to a pharmacy in Wil-
kes-Barre to pick up Bradfords
prescription, before taking them
to Bradfords apartment where
he picked up James. Selenski
drove James and Keiler to Mount
Olivet Road where they smoked
crack cocaine in the detached ga-
rage, according to prosecutors.
Investigators claimed Sel-
enski went into the house and
loaded a shotgun in front of
Russin, then exited the house,
shot James, and chased Keiler
around the detached garage be-
fore he was captured and hand-
cuffed. Keiler was kept alive for
several hours inside the house,
hidden from Strom who went to
work, and killed outside, accord-
ing to court documents.
Their bodies allegedly were
burned in a pit near an in-ground
swimming pool on the property.
Lupas elected to charge Selen-
ski with the shotguns slayings of
James and Keiler, delaying the
homicide charges for the killings
of Kerkowski and Fassett.
Lupas issued a news release
the morning of Oct. 6, 2003, ad-
vising reporters he will provide
an update on the Mount Olivet
Road investigation.
As it turned out, Selenski and
Russin were charged for the kill-
ings of Keiler and James that
day.
Four days later, on Oct. 10,
Selenski escaped from the coun-
ty correctional facility with Scott
Bolton, who was jailed on mul-
tiple counts of stealing ATVs.
Bolton was rst to climb out the
seventh oor cell window and
claimed he was pushed by Sel-
enski, falling 70 feet landing on
a roof below. Selenski climbed
down the bed sheet rope and
was a hunted man for three days
before he arranged his surrender
through Fannick.
Selenskis trial for the slayings
of James and Keiler began on
March 1, 2006.
There was no trial for Russin.
He pleaded guilty in November
2003 to two counts of third-de-
gree murder and sentenced to
nine years, seven months to 20
years in state prison.
The jury heard seven days of
testimony in Selenskis case be-
fore deliberating nearly 21 hours
over three days in rendering a
mixed verdict.
Jurys verdict
The jury found Selenski not
guilty of one count of homicide
in the death of Keiler, one count
of criminal conspiracy, and two
counts of robbery. It found him
guilty of two counts of abuse of
corpse and it deadlocked on an-
other count of homicide in the
death of James.
Olszewski, the presiding
judge, polled the jury and
learned the entire panel agreed
Selenski was not guilty of sec-
ond- and third-degree murder in
the James charge. It was dead-
locked only on the rst-degree
murder charge.
After some legal discussions
with the attorneys, Olszewski
declared a mistrial strictly on
rst-degree murder. But because
the jury believed Selenski was
not guilty of the lower counts of
murder, Selenski could not have
been tried again on the rst-de-
gree murder charge, Olszewski
declared.
After the verdict was an-
nounced, Capitano left the
courtroom and typed up the
criminal complaint charging
Selenski with the homicides of
Kerkowski and Fassett.
Court records say Kerkowski
and Fassett were killed on May
3, 2002.
The motive behind their
deaths, investigators believe,
was a check that was about to
bounce.
Strom purchased the Mount
Olivet Road property on April
30, 2002, for $160,000. At the
closing, Strom issued a check
in the amount of $10,079.50 to
close the deal.
Strom knew she did not have
enough money in her checking
account to cover the check. Sel-
enski promised her the check
would clear, depositing $9,900
in cash in Stroms account on
May 4, 2002.
Wednesday will be 10 years
since the bodies of Kerkowski
and Fassett were found, ending
a 13-month mystery of what hap-
pened to them and launching a
lengthy, legal, roller-coaster ride
that has yet to end.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.
Mitchell Etess thinks he knows
the biggest thing that was wrong
with New Jerseys oldest casino.
There werent a whole lot of
people sitting around New Jer-
sey or Pennsylvania that said,
Lets go party tonight in Re-
sorts, said Etess, whose Mo-
hegan Tribal Gaming Authority
now runs Resorts Casino Hotel.
I dont even think their parents
were doing that.
But thats all in the past now
that Resorts has one of Atlantic
Citys newest entertainment at-
tractions.
The casino just held a grand
opening for Margaritaville, the
$35 million restaurant, bar and
gambling complex thats part
of a $70 million expansion and
renovation of Resorts. It was
35 years ago this weekend that
Resorts became the rst casino
in the United states to open out-
side Nevada.
This place is an example of
the fun and entertainment that
Atlantic City can be all about,
Gov. Chris Christie said. New
Jersey is back, were ready for
summer, and theres nothing
that will keep this state down if
we all work together.
The Jimmy Buffett-themed
project is expected to breathe
life into a casino that had strug-
gled to compete with newer,
bigger casinos in Atlantic City
and in neighboring states. In an-
nouncing the project last year,
Buffett said the boardwalk and
beach were ideal locations for
the latest of 25 Margaritaville
complexes he has helped to
open in United States and inter-
national resort destinations.
Buffett, who did not attend
the opening, had predicted that
his fans, who call themselves
Parrotheads, will feel at home in
the new location.
Atlantic City has always
historically been a great beach
town, and needless to say I
kind of thrive in those kinds of
communities, Buffett said last
June. And it certainly does not
go without being noticed by me
and a lot of people that work for
me that the Jersey Shore has the
largest ock of Parrotheads up
and down the Eastern Seaboard.
So, with helping bring back a
great beach town, we are also
giving a ock of migrating birds
a nest to come to.
It contains a Margaritaville
restaurant, the LandShark Bar
& Grill, Margaritaville-themed
casino space, the Five OClock
Somewhere Bar, a retail store
and a coffee shop. A giant blend-
er, an ode to that frozen concoc-
tion made famous in Buffetts
signature song, will welcome
guests at its front entrance.
Pam Foldes of Penndel, Pa.,
was one of them. Sitting at the
bar with a balloon animal tied
to her head early in the after-
noon, she said Margaritaville
will make her much more likely
to play and stay at Resorts when
she visits Atlantic City.
I love it here, she said. The
bartenders are marvelous. They

outside Jimmy Buffetts Margaritaville entertainment complex.
In a roundabout way, producer Ja-
son Blum owes his career revival to
the 2010 op The Tooth Fairy.
From 1995 to 2000, Blum was an
executive at Miramax, where he
helped oversee a
number of features
that, in his words,
no one ever saw.
Then he moved on
to producing The
Tooth Fairy with
Dwayne Johnson.
The movie cost
about $50 million
and failed to nd an audience at the
box ofce.
I found (those experiences) very
frustrating, Blum says.
Blums disappointment with the
The Tooth Fairy had nothing to do
with the Bethlehem-reared Johnson.
In fact, Blum is full of praise for the
wrestler-turned-actor.
He has a stellar reputation. And
he has it for a reason. He works really
hard. Hes what you think a movie
star would be like until you meet a lot
of them and are disappointed.
But the failure of the family-friend-
ly comedy hit Blum hard. In the mov-
ies aftermath, he began to long for a
way to make studio-friendly movies
independently and then work in con-
junction with the studios on a wide
release.
It was a model he put into motion
when he got involved with Paranor-
mal Activity, a movie that cost all of
$15,000 to produce and went on to
gross close to $200 million, making it
the most protable lmin the history
of Hollywood.
Through Blumhouse Productions,
the producer has gone on to steer
more than 30 features, most of them
horror lms shot on a small budget.
Insidious, for instance, cost $1.5
million and grossed close to $100
million worldwide, while Sinister
scored six times its $3 million budget
on opening weekend alone.
The latest release from Blumhouse
is The Purge, a thriller that takes
place in the not-too-distant future
when peace reigns supreme and
crime is almost non-existent. But
theres one exception to the rule. For
one night every year, anyone can do
anything to anyone else and face no
consquences.

A
s they sit at their usual table in the
local diner, Billy surprises his girl-
friend, JoAnne, by pulling out a little
black box with a ring.
Will ya? he proposes.
Are you asking for real, in a restaurant? she
responds.
I couldnt think of a better time, JoAnne, he
says. Its not the easiest thing to ask.
The two dont have much time for tender
talk at this point in the original play Treeline
Fever, because Billys supervisor, Miguel, that
at-lander from Oklahoma, is shouting, Lets
go. Weve gotta roll.
Billys job as a driver in the natural-gas indus-
try claims a lot of his attention. And soon, he
worries, he might get laid off and have to follow
the work to another state. Its not something he
wants to do.
But if you come to the Russian Hall in the tiny
town of Lopez to watch Derek Davis original
historical play, youll see how workers faced
similar challenges some 140 years earlier when
lumbering rather than natural-gas excavation
was the big, new industry in Sullivan County.
While modern-day Billy ponders moving to
Ohio for a job, many of the men who worked
as wood hicks in the Lopez area more than a
century ago crossed an ocean hoping for fresh
opportunity.
Youre Irish. Im German, an olden-days
character named Shandy points out to one of his
contemporaries. Hes trying to placate Ennis,
who seems annoyed that newer immigrants,
the Huns, are taking a job for cheap.
But werent there enough trees for everyone
to chop?
Actually, playwright Davis said during a re-
hearsal break last week, the supply of trees was
exhausted by about 1910.

Call me a
Jazz Age junk-
ie if you will,
but I just cant
get enough
of the 1920s.
Long before
the various
versions of The Great Gatsby
hit the screen I was mesmerized
by that decade.
So Im volunteering today to
be quiz master in a little game
of local history called Are You
Smarter than a Flapper? Ready?
Answers are below.
1. Despite the prohibition law,
this four-term mayor of Wilkes-
Barre was reputed to have a pri-
vate bar on the top oor of his
Hazle Avenue home.
2. A local audience was privi-
leged to hear this musical work
perhaps the most famous one
of the decade when the re-
nowned Paul Whiteman Orches-
tra gave a 1924 concert at Irem
Temple.
3. Wyoming Valley got its rst
radio station when this one went
on the air in 1922 just a year
and a half after the very rst sta-
tion in America opened.
4. This world-famous pilot
became the toast of the town in
1928 when he made an emergen-
cy landing at the Coxton Yards
in Duryea.
5. Kingston increased its pop-
ulation in 1921 when it merged
with this smaller neighboring
town.
6. The area saw its rst four-
year college when this school
opened in Dallas Township in
1924.
7. Damage was heavy and
many people were injured in
this weather event impacting
Hanover Township and Wilkes-
Barre in November 1928.
8. One of the biggest indus-
tries in Wyoming Valley made a
product that went up in smoke.
However, its not coal mining.
9. If you wanted to see na-
tionally famous vaudeville acts,
you couldnt do better than this
theater on Wilkes-Barres South
Main Street.
10. In 1926, members of this
controversial organization pa-
raded through a West Side com-
munity, drawing cheers from
some and scorn from others.
11. One of the most famous
poets and novelists of the 1920s
though now little-remem-

Margaritaville employs 600 peo-
ple in Atlantic City.
Twelve Margaritaville-themed
table games and 160 similarly
themed slot machines will be part
of the casino.
It has island-themed decor, an
indoor lighthouse, palm trees
and tropical-blue skies and clouds
painted onto the ceilings. A week
of auditions was held to select the
bands and singers that will per-
formlive there.
The project is part of a ve-year-
old effort by Atlantic City casinos
to offer more than just gambling,
particularly since so-calledconve-
nience gamblers who would ride
the bus into town, play slots for a
fewhours and then go home, now
have casinos much closer to their
homes in Pennsylvania and New
York.
Smaller projects like Margarita-
ville will likely do more to restore
Wall Streets willingness to invest
in the resort than would another
large project after the bankruptcy
of the $2.4 billion Revel casino ho-
tel project, an analyst at a major
casino industry conference held
Wednesday in Atlantic City said.
Other work recently done at
Resorts that is not part of Margari-
taville includes hotel-roomrenova-
tions, new carpeting for the entire
casino oor and a food court.
Its going to open the eyes of a
lot of entertainment-seekers, Et-
ess said.
To quote Jimmy Buffett, Its a
complete change of attitude. Its
not your mothers Resorts any-
more. We are changing the per-
ception, and we are changing the
reality.

star in the lm (which opens Fri-
day) as an upscale couple who
prepare for the Purge by locking
down their McMansion. But after
one of their children (Max Burk-
holder) opens the door to shelter
a homeless man, all hell breaks
loose as a cadre of blood-thirsty
suburbanites demand Hawke and
Hedley give up their guest.
As soon as Blum heard the
pitch for the movie by director
James DeMonaco (writer of As-
sault on Precinct 13), he was
sold on the concept.
I liked the politics of the idea,
Blum says. Its a violent movie
that condemns violence. I think
the movie says were a violent so-
ciety, and this is a violent society
taken to extreme, crazy lengths.
And its not where we want to end
up. So we should be careful.
In some ways, The Purge is
the ultimate Blumhouse produc-
tion. Its a big idea dramatized
cheaply, and it relies on actors
(like Hawke and Hedley) who
arent associated with horror fare.
The Purge takes place in
suburbia, the same setting that
worked so well for the Paranor-
mal movies as well as Blum pro-
ductions such as Sinister, In-
sidious and Dark Skies.
Its hard to be scared in an
apartment because youre sur-
rounded by people, Blum says.
And being scared in the woods
is, to me, such a clich. But sub-
urbia is very relatable. And the
more relatable it is, the scarier it
is.
If Blum movies have a trade-
mark, it is their slow-burn in-
tensity. Rather than providing
a scare in the rst few minutes,
icks such as Sinister and The
Purge take their time getting to
the spooky stuff.
As Blum sees it, a scary movie
is a lot scarier if you care about
the characters who are about to
be put through the wringer.
You need to believe the actors,
andyouneedto be investedinthe
emotional journey the characters
are on, the producer says. If
your viewers arent invested, the
scares arent scary at all.
Blum learned his biggest les-
son about taking his time during
the editing of Paranormal Activ-
ity.
When we would test the
movie, wed get some negative
responses saying that the begin-
ning of the movie was boring,
he recalls. So so we cut that part
down, but thenwe got people say-
ing that the movie wasnt scary.
I like to think the unique thing
we do with our movies is to give
people a little time at the begin-
ning. We like to allow the audi-
ence to get to know the charac-
ters in ordinary situations, doing
ordinary things.
The Purge was shot for a frac-
tion of what the average studio
movie costs. Blum manages to
keep the costs low by asking key
members of the creative team to
forgo their fees, with the promise
of more money down the line if
the lmproves a hit.
If the movie does well, we
make money, and if a movie
doesnt do well, we dont lose
money because its so inexpen-
sive, he says.
Keeping the budget tight al-
lows Blum to offer the directors
who work for him a good deal of
creative freedom.
I dont think you can ask a
lmmaker to work for free and
then tell them what to do, the
producer says. I do say to them,
I cant promise you a hit, but I
promise you that youll live or die
onyour ownsword. It will be your
own choices that you make.
One of the reasons I dont like
doing bigger-budgeted movies
is that when you take someones
money, you have to listen to
them. The way we make movies,
no one tells us what to do.
At the moment, Blumhas a full
slate movies in various stages of
production, but only a trio have
release dates, including Insidi-
ous: Chapter 2 (Sept. 20) Para-
normal Activity 5 (Oct. 25) and
Ghosts (January 2014).
While Blum has admitted to
courting veteran lmmakers such
as John Carpenter and William
Friedkin in the past, right now
he has his sights set on hiring Ti
West, the Delaware native whose
credits include the spooky Inn-
keepers.
I think Tis movies are re-
ally cool, Blum says. Id love
to do a movie with him and see
it released in a substantial way. I
think hes great at what he does.
He really understands the horror
genre in a way that very fewdirec-
tors do.

A criminal who vows to go
straight after that one last
job is a tried-and-true idea,
but Urban Waite makes the
idea seem fresh as he adds
the disintegrating of a family
to his plot.
Akin to the brutal yet sol-
id storytelling of the movie
The Wild Bunch and Jim
Thompsons The Getaway,
Waite delves into Western
noir as he looks at destruc-
tive moral dilemmas.
More than 12 years ago,
Ray Lamar left his home of
Coronado, N.M., after his
wife was killed and his tod-
dler son left brain damaged
in a car crash.
Her death was retaliation
against Ray by a drug cartel.
All these years, Ray hasnt
seen his son, whom he left in
the care of his aged father,
nor his cousin, Tom, with
whom he was raised like
twins.
In a misguided attempt to
help Ray, Tom went after a
suspected drug dealer an
incident that eventually cost
Tom his job as the local sher-
iff and has forever defined
his life.
Ray plans to do one last job
for a crime boss so he can re-
turn home. But Ray has bare-
ly begun before everything
goes horribly wrong.
Both cousins desperately
want the kind of life they can
never have because it was
torn apart by violence.
Added to the mix is Edna
Kelly, the current sheriff who
is loyal to Tom, her former
boss, but also to enforcing
the law.
Her professionalism and
compassion add texture to
The Carrion Birds.
Set in a dying town where
dried-up oil wells and aban-
doned housing developments
dot the landscape, The Car-
rion Birds succinctly uses
the barren area as a meta-
phor for the characters lives.
Waite makes the reader feel
the arid desert while also
making an unlikable charac-
ter such as Ray sympathetic.
The Carrion Birds moves
at a brisk pace with an un-
flinching brutality.

They basically clearcut
everything, he said. All the
wildlife disappeared. Later,
they had to import deer
from Michigan to re-estab-
lish the species. It took a
long time for the forest to
come back.
When you hear the play-
wright talk about the toll
lumbering took on the en-
vironment in the late 1800s,
it makes you wonder if hes
worried about the effects of
natural-gas extraction.
Thats not the case, said
Davis, who with his wife,
Linda White, lives about 200
yards from a well pad.
Were not a propaganda
theater, said White, who is
directing the play. We dont
have a particular message.
Basically, its entertain-
ment and history, Davis
said.
We are trying to say hu-
man beings are human be-
ings, White said. People in
the past were very much like
we are.
As the action of the play
transports audiences back
and forth between past and
present, youll see parallels
in the teasing of co-workers
and in the banter between
waitresses and their custom-
ers.
For you, love, the whole
chicken, an old-time wait-
ress tells a man who asked
for an egg in his ale.
People do spend a lot of
time eating in the
play, Davis admitted with
a chuckle. They work a lot,
so when they eat might be
the only time they have to
talk.
Davis research has in-
cluded searches of genealog-
ical websites, a cardboard-
bound 1919 catalog that
advertised a Philadelphia
companys new saw and the
historical account of how
Col. Robert Bruce Ricketts
came home from the battle
of Gettysburg with a new
valet, a former slave named
John Greene who eventually
earned a doctor of divinity
degree and became Ricketts
right-hand man.
He was an expert on
many topics, Davis said of
Greene. And he was a gour-
met cook on top of it.
Local actor Darwin Hatch
plays Ricketts, and his real-
life wife, Connie Hatch, por-
trays Ricketts wife, Eliza-
beth.
Its Elizabeth Ricketts
who deserves the credit for
the preservation of the wa-
terfall area and old-growth
trees of Ricketts Glen State
Park, Darwin Hatch said.
As for Col. Ricketts and
many of his contemporaries,
Hatch said, They just didnt
think about the environ-
ment.

TREELINE
Continued from Page 1B
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif.
Youve seen the Lone Cypress.
It stands along famously scenic
17-Mile Drive, raked by wind,
swaddled in fog, clinging to its
wave-lashed granite pedestal
like Gods own advertisement
for rugged individualism.
It may be 250 years old.
It might be the most photo-
graphed tree in North Ameri-
ca. It sits alongside one of the
worlds most beautiful (and ex-
pensive) golf courses. Its a mar-
keting tool, a registered trade-
mark, a Western icon.
David Potigian, owner of Gal-
lery Sur in Carmel, explained it
to me this way: This tree is to
the Monterey Peninsula what
the pyramids are to Egypt, what
the Eiffel Tower is to Paris. No
wonder its keepers are hoping it
will last 100 more years.
But lets face it: This is one
spindly old conifer, small for its
species, scarred by a long-ago
arson. For more than 65 years,
half-hidden steel cables have
held the tree in place.
If you pay the $9.75 per car
to cruise 17-Mile Drive (which
is private property, part of the
5,300-acre Pebble Beach resort),
you will see the Lone Cypress
and behold the spectacular
collision of land, sea, golf and
wealth that is Pebble Beach. But
you wont get within 40 feet of
the tree. Chances are youll be
joined by a few other tourists.
Maybe a tour bus too.
This is the challenge of a clas-
sic postcard destination. Like
many travelers, Im drawn to
these places the Lone Cy-
press, Yosemites Half Dome and
Monument Valley, for instance.
Yet when I arrive, I dont want a
warmed-over experience. I want
a jolt of discovery.
Even if you havent read Don
DeLillos novel White Noise,
you have felt like the character
in it who gazes upon tourists
as they gaze upon the most-
photographed barn in America.
No one sees the barn, he says.
Once youve seen the signs
about the barn, it becomes im-
possible to see the barn.
I want to see that barn or,
in this case, that lonely tree. Ive
seen plenty of Lone Cypress
images but never stood before
the genuine article and stared.
When you nally get to such a
place, you want to spot some-
thing that will draw you closer
or transform your perspective.
You want to understand whats
changed and what hasnt since
that rst postcard photographer
rolled up in his Ford, or maybe
his Packard.
And you want to know what
waits beyond the edge of the
postcard view.
These stories are my stab at
that. This is the start of a series
in which photographer Mark
Boster and I revisit iconic West-
ern destinations.
So, Cupressus macrocarpa,
the Monterey Cypress. Once
you reach Pebble Beach, about
325 miles north of Los Angeles,
you enter 17-Mile Drive, pay the
booth attendant, then head past
well-tended fairways, sprawling
estates and coastal open space
to stop No. 16.
On your way, remind your-
self that as a species the Mon-
terey Cypress naturally occurs
no place on Earth but around
Pebble Beach and Point Lobos.
Every one of these natives is a
rarity.
At No. 16, you nd about two
dozen parking spaces lining
the two-lane road. Above the
surf, rocks and foliage, theres a
wooden observation deck, and
nearby theres a fenced private
home that has stood within 200
feet of the tree for about half a
century. (It was a woman in this
home, Frances Larkey, who saw
the ames and called authori-
ties when an unknown arsonist
set the tree are in 1984.) And
out there on the rock, theres the
Lone Cypress.
Some tourists shrug and stay
two minutes. Some make out
and stay 20.
Above and below sea level,
its a rich coastline. Elsewhere
along 17-Mile Drive, you can
stroll the beach at Point Joe,
prowl the tree skeletons at Pes-
cadero Point and take in the
wide panorama at Cypress Point
(which closes April 1-June 1 for
seal-pupping season).
If you prefer to do your
coastal rambling on foot with-
out golf courses and private es-
tates, its only a few miles south
to Point Lobos State Natural
Reserve ($10 a car). If you ask
Kim Weston, grandson of famed
photographer Edward Weston
and a longtime Carmel local,
Point Lobos beats Pebble Beach
hands-down as a place to prowl
with a camera.
So did I see the tree anew?
Not exactly. We visited it morn-
ing, noon and night, watched
tourists ebb and ow, chartered
a boat to see it from the ocean.
More than ever, I have a soft
spot for that singular gure on
the rock. But the best minute of
the trip the travel moment
that felt fresh, enduring and
uniquely rooted in this corner
of the world occurred just up
the road.
Id rented a bike. The sun
was low, and I was meandering
north from the Lone Cypress to-
ward Point Joe. Ahead, 17-Mile
Drive, nearly empty, gently rose,
fell and curved.
I began to sense a deepening
connection, began to feel as if Id
nally wedged myself between
the landscape and everything
else. A chilly breeze. Squawks
and barks from Bird Rock. Or-
ange sky. I have no picture to
show of that happy, unobstruct-
ed moment, but I have the mo-
ment all the same.
Pebble Beach tree is oft-photographed, but what new is to be seen?

TIMELINE
Alook at key dates in the history of
Pebble Beachs famous tree along
17-Mile Drive.
Before 1813, experts think: AMon-
terey cypress seedling takes root on
a chunk of granite on the Monterey
Peninsula.
1880: Railroad magnates Charles
Crocker, Leland Stanford, Collis Hun-
tington and Mark Hopkins want to
lure more Americans west. Through
their Pacic Improvement Co., they
open the Hotel del Monte, a grand
resort on the dramatic coastline near
Monterey. The following June, they
open a path for horse-drawn car-
riages and call it 17-Mile Drive.
1897: The nine-hole Del Monte Golf
Course, the rst venue of its kind
on the peninsula, opens and soon
expands to 18holes.
1919: Samuel F.B. Morse (a distant
relative of the Morse Code inventor
of the same name) buys the resort,
which nowincludes a hotel, a lodge
and two golf courses. On stock
certicates, Morse includes an image
of the Lone Cypress, which becomes
a company trademark through the
decades.
1948: The U.S. Navy, which leased
the Hotel del Monte during World
War II, buys the hotel. (Its nowthe
Naval Postgraduate School.) Photos
showthe Lone Cypress is nowsup-
ported by steel cables, but tourists
can walk up to the tree and picnic.
1969: The tree is fenced off to
protect its roots. Morse dies at 83,
having built the resort into a prom-
ised land for golfers. Its ownership
will change several times during the
next 30years, and the Del Monte
imprint will fade as newmanagement
emphasizes the Pebble Beach name.
2012: An upstart cypress begins
creeping out of the Lone Cypress
rock base, raising hopes of renewal
for the landmark. Then comes a
storm. The upstart is obliterated; the
Lone Cypress remains.
2013: Pebble Beach Co. nowoper-
ates three hotels, four golf courses,
a spa, a beach and tennis club,
an equestrian center and 17-Mile
Drive. Neal Hotelling, the companys
director of licensing and unofcial
historian, notes that a Monterey
cypress in ideal conditions can last
500years. As for the Lone Cypress:
We certainly suspect it will continue
to live a good while. I would hope at
least another 100years. The com-
pany has no plan for when the tree
dies, Hotelling said, except that we
think the trademark will live on even
if the tree doesnt.

the quaint restaurants and lodging but stay to see the Lone
Cypress in nearby Pebble Beach. The tree is on a rocky ledge

Historical
victory for

MINERSVILLE - Back when the sea-

hope that his Holy Redeemer volleyball
team would travel to the state semifinal
round.
I never even imag-
ined getting this far
when I started playing
early on, Morrison
said.
How could he?
The last District 2
boys team to make it to the PIAA finals
came when the Tunkhannock Tigers
won the state title in 1972.
Now Holy Redeemer has a chance to
join them.

Rafael Nadal cel-

against Italys
Fabio Fognini
after their third
round match at

at Roland Gar-

Paris on Satur-
day. Nadal won
in three sets 7-6,
6-4, 6-4.
F R E N C H O P E N
Nadal, Djokovic seem vulnerable
PARIS For the third time in three matches
this year in the French Open, Rafael Nadal hard-
ly looked himself for a set.
Unlike in the first two rounds, Nadal won his
opening set Saturday, albeit barely. The take-
away, even after another victory, was the same:
The owner of a record seven titles at Roland
Garros is not the dominant force he usually is at
the clay-court tournament.
If I want to have any chance, Nadal acknowl-
edged after beating 27th-seeded Fabio Fognini
of Italy 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4, I really need to play
better.
Hours later, the man Nadal beat in last years
final and could meet in this years semifinals,
No. 1 Novak Djokovic, seemed vulnerable, too.
Walking to his changeover chair at 4-3 in the
third set of a 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 win against No. 26
Grigor Dimitrov, Djokovic stretched his right
arm the one he has used to win six Grand
Slam titles several times. He then was treat-
ed by a trainer, who applied ointment and gave
Djokovic a massage near the shoulder.
Two games later, the match was done, Djokov-
ic was into the fourth round, and he raised that
arm in his typical victory celebration.
His mood would shift dramatically soon.
When Djokovic left the court and went to the
locker room, he was told that his first coach
Jelena Gencic, 76, who began working with little
Nole when he was 6 had died in Belgrade,
Serbia, earlier Saturday. Djokovic issued a state-

Penguins have no magical comeback this time
By TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com
SYRACUSE, N.Y. The Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins made histo-
ry for the second time this postseason
during Game 5 against the Syracuse
Crunch in the Eastern Conference fi-
nals.
But the history the Penguins made
on Saturday was the kind theyd like to
go back in time and erase.
A hat trick for Syracuse forward
Philippe Paradis, along with four other
goals, brought an abrupt end to the
Penguins playoff run with a 7-0 defeat,
dropping the series 4-1. The exit comes
on the heels of the Penguins historic
turnaround to erase a 3-0 Providence
lead in the previous series.
Down 3-1 to Syracuse, however,
there wasnt going to be a second his-
toric comeback. Instead, the Penguins
exited with their most lopsided loss in
playoff history.
Head coach said the historic come-
back against Providence couple with
the tight games early in the Syracuse
series took a toll on his team.
You could see a little bit of it catch
up today - a mental thing more than
anything, he said. We played a lot fo
emotional hockey, hockey that required
a lot of effort to go through. Eventually
it takes a toll.
Down 3-1 and facing elimination for
the first time in the series, Hynes felt it
was time for a lineup change for Game
5.
Actually, several of them.
Out was goaltender Brad Thies-
sen, who allowed seven goals in the
last three games all losses. In was
Jeff Zatkoff, who hadnt played since
Hynes pulled him after the first period
of Game 2 in the series against Provi-
dence.
On defense, top draft picks Olli
Maatta and Scott Harrington played in
their third and second straight games,
respectively. Bobby Farnham also

RailRiders helping out the parent club

New York Yankees pitcher and former SWB RailRider Preston Claiborne, right, shakes hands with catcher Austin
Romine, another former RailRider, after the Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays, earlier this month.
GettinG some time in
the show
The New York Yankees are starting
to get healthy after a rash of injuries
to begin the season.
When those ailments occurred,
several players were summoned from
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The RailRiders began the season
with high hopes because of all the
Major League-caliber players on the
roster. But since then, five RailRid-
ers players have made their Major
League debut with New York
After all, it is the goal of every
minor leaguer to make it to the bigs.
And those players have contributed
for the Yankees.
A few of the top contributors have
been third baseman David Adams, re-
liever Preston Claiborne and starting
pitcher/reliever Vidal Nuno.
That trio all made their first ap-
pearance in the majors earlier this
season.
Two others starter Brett Marshall
and second baseman Corban Joseph
also saw their first action in a Major
League game this season but have
since been sent back down to the
RailRiders.
Being in the minor leagues is
all about working to get to the
big leagues, Joseph said. In this
clubhouse, we got a lot of guys who
are big league ready. Its just a matter
of getting the opportunity to go out
there and play.
Joseph, who was called up twice
this season, has made the most of his
opportunity.
The first time he got the call, he
didnt see any action. But the sec-
ond time as the 26
th
man on the
roster, which MLB now allows for
doubleheaders he got his first Major
League hit and scored his first run in
the big leagues when former Rail-
Rider teammate Austin Romine drove
him in leading New York to a win
over Cleveland.
It was fun. At that point and time
of the game were up 1-0 and I was
leading off the inning and I was just
really focused on a certain pitch I
wanted to hit and I got it, Joseph
said.
I was trying to be aggressive too. I
rounded first pressing the throw and
I saw the throw was off and went and
took second.
Marshall didnt fare as well in his
first experience and since then has
had trouble getting back into a groove
with the RailRiders. He threw 5 2/3
innings of relief giving up nine hits
and five runs against Seattle on May
15 for his first action in eight days.
Normally, the righty throws every five
days.
But he still took the appearance in
stride.
You never want to come into a
situation like that when your teams
getting beat pretty bad. Its not what
you imagine your debut being,
Marshall said. But I took some posi-
tives out of it and got my feet wet a
little bit, kinda see what it felt like
to be there. I wish it wouldve gone a
little better but I wasnt making good
pitches.
Adams, who was released by the
organization during spring train-
ing, has started the majority of the
Yankees games at third base. While
hes strong defensively, hes been solid
with the bat too getting a hit in 10
of his first 12 Major League games,
which includes his first two homers
in the majors. At midweek, he was
batting .271.
Claiborne had possibly been the
most surprising player for the Yan-
kees. The 25-year-old right-hander
wasnt even ranked in the preseason
as a top prospect by Baseball Amer-
ica. And he even allowed five runs
in 10 1/3 innings for the RailRiders
prior to being called up. But all hes
done for New York is get outs. After
taking over for starter David Phelps
against the Mets last week, Claiborne
lowered his ERA to 0.61 having al-
lowed just one run in 14 2/3 innings
in the bigs.
Nuno, the RailRiders Opening Day
starter, could be in the same situa-
tion as Claiborne. Nunos had one
bad game for the Yankees if you can
even call it that. He had an appear-
ance where he didnt record an out,
but gave up one run. Other than that,
the lefty allowed just two runs in a
six-inning start.
At midweek, his ERA was 1.93 in
14 innings.
Nuno and Claiborne were both
helped by a strong spring training
with the Yankees to get their name on
the radar. Nuno only gave up one run
in 14 2/3 innings, while Claiborne
was just as good allowing one run in
10 2/3.
Other prospects to see time with
the Yankees this year are catcher Aus-
tin Romine, who was called up when
Francisco Cervelli got injured. Pitcher
Adam Warren, who was expected to
be in SWBs starting rotation this sea-
son, had been in New Yorks bullpen
all season.
With names like Mark Teixeira,
Kevin Youkilis and Andy Pettitte set
to return to New York soon, its un-
known what the status of the current
rookies will be at that time.
If anything, they at least got valu-
able Major League experience and
may be helping Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre again sometime this season.

New York Yankees pitcher Brett
Marshall, right, looks down after the
Seattle Mariners Raul Ibanez hit a
two-run home run at Yankee Sta-
dium earlier this month. Marshall is
just one of many Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre RailRiders to spend time with
the Yankees this season.
Heres a look at the next seven days for
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders and
what to expect.
Durham Bulls
The next two days for the RailRiders will
be the tail-end of a road trip going through
Norfolk and Durham. The team will be
happy not having to see Durham anymore
this season unless of course they meet
during postseason in which case SWB will
be very happy to see the Bulls.
Durham, the Triple-A affiliate of the Tampa
Bay Rays, has owned the RailRiders win-
ning five of six contests prior to Saturday
nights contest.
Syracuse Chiefs
A homestand of sorts will feel nice for the
RailRiders on Tuesday when they host the
affiliate of the Washington Nationals.
And the Chiefs are finally a division op-
ponent. That in itself will be welcome for
the RailRiders, who will have played 40
games against the International League
South and West divisions since seeing an
I.L. North foe on April 22 which was also
Syracuse.
When the teams last met, a four-game set
was played at PNC Field with the RailRid-
ers winning three of the four. This time,
its another four-gamer with two in Moosic
then two more at Syracuses NBT Bank
Stadium. Chiefs outfielder Eury Perez, the
organizations seventh-ranked prospect
according to Baseball America, is having
a fine season batting .320 with two home
runs, eight RBI and eight stolen bases. He
leads all current Syracuse hitters with his
average because Jeff Kobernus, who has
been raking all season batting .333, was
called up by Washington 11 days ago.
The organizations top prospect by BA,
infielder Anthony Rendon, was promoted
to Syracuse from Double-A on Saturday to
try to work at second base, instead of his
usual third base position. He saw limited
action in the Majors earlier this season.
And if he can learn second base rather
quickly, he may return to the Nationals
soon.
Prior to Saturdays action, Syracuse sits in
last place in the division.
Buffalo Bisons
The only time the RailRiders saw Buffalo
this season was at the beginning of April
for what was supposed to be a four-game
series. But the teams played just one of
those days splitting a doubleheader. Good
news is that when then Bisons invade PNC
Field on Saturday for another four-gamer,
a preliminary forecast calls for the worst
weather to be clouds.
Buffalo began play Saturday just three
games behind Pawtucket for first place
in the I.L. North. Second baseman Jim
Negrych is third in the I.L. in batting aver-
age hitting at a .356 clip. As a team, the
Bisons are second in the league in average
batting .279 and are third in runs scored
with 283.
Buffalos main problem this season has
been pitching. The team owns a league-
worst 5.26 team earned run average. On
the mound, the Bisons have a veteran ro-
tation in Dave Bush, Ricky Romero, Claudio
Vargas and Justin Germano.
Our weekly look at the work of RailRiders
president Rob Crain, who has given us back
our baseball with a side order of promo-
tions and entertainment.
BEST OF THE WEEK: Veterans Recogni-
tion Day last Sunday was the only home
game of the week. It was also Family
FUNday.
MISSED OPPORTUNITY: We usually
shoot for a laugh in this spot, or throw out
something off the wall, but were taking a
different approach this week.
Were in a stretch where the RailRiders
arent in PNC Field much, but the gates
were open for exciting District 2 champion-
ship action Monday.
The rest of the week did not have baseball
scheduled for the stadium. But with all the
goodwill recently forged by Thomas Neal,
pledging $20 per hit through the All-Star
break for tornado relief and the generos-
ity of the RailRiders to match Neals pledge
there was an opportunity missed.
Why not open up the field for a little BP
with the fans? You know while the Rail-
Riders are away, the fans will play.
Maybe have a couple of RailRiders staffers
out lobbing pitches in (or even a former
Red Baron, or a local star) and letting fans
get some cuts from the PNC Field batters
boxes. Bring in some area Little Leaguers
to shag balls in the outfield.
Giving fans an opportunity to get their cuts
at the new stadium priceless. But at 10
swings for $5 (its for charity, surely some
folks would contribute more), it would be a
welcome addition to Neals efforts. Theres
always that open week later this month.
By the way, since his pledge, Neal has 16
hits in his first 10 games since going all
charitable, meaning he and the team have
at least $640 heading to Oklahoma to help
those in need.
COMING UP: Its a limited home sched-
ule this week, with Syracuse in for 2 for 1
Tuesday and Kids Eat FREE Wednesday,
followed by Buffalo starting a series at
PNC Field on Saturday. The Buffalo opener
features pre-game music, a jersey auction
and Pillow Pet giveaway.

hit a grand slam right after a
mound conference, Felix Dou-
bront stifled the Yankees once
again and the Boston Red Sox
sent New York to its sixth loss
in seven games, 11-1 Saturday
night.
Daniel Nava added a three-
run homer in the eighth inning
that emptied the crowd. The
aisles were full of fans stream-
ing to the exits by the time
Nava touched the plate, and
a Lets go, Red Sox chant
erupted when Stephen Drew
homered in a three-run ninth.
The Red Sox stopped Phil
Hughes recent run of success
against them and evened this
three-game series going into
tonights wrapup.
Tigers 10,
Orioles 3
BALTIMORE Miguel
Cabreras grand slam capped
a wild fourth inning in which
Detroit hit four home runs and
Orioles pitcher Jason Hammel
was ejected, and the Tigers
beat Baltimore to snap a four-
game losing streak.
Prince Fielder hit a sixth-
inning drive for the Tigers,
whose five homers were a
season high.
Justin Verlander (7-4) allowed
three runs and eight hits in
seven innings to win his third
straight start and improve to 8-0
lifetime against Baltimore. But
his performance was secondary
to that of the Detroit offense,
which used an eight-run fourth
to take a 9-1 lead.
Indians 5, Rays 0
CLEVELAND Ubaldo
Jimenez pitched eight score-
less innings and the Cleveland
Indians defeated the Tampa
Bay Rays.
Jason Giambi and Asdrubal
Cabrera hit two-run homers in
the game that began about 10
hours following the conclusion
of Friday nights contest that
ended at 2:53 a.m. on Saturday.
Jimenez (4-3) gave the Indi-
ans exactly what they needed.
The right-hander allowed four
hits and struck out seven in
stopping Tampa Bays six-game
winning streak. The Rays, who
rolled to a 9-2 win earlier Sat-
urday morning, had only two
runners reach second base.
Twins 5, Mariners 4
MINNEAPOLIS Ryan
Doumits two-run triple off
Tom Wilhelmsen with one out
in the ninth inning sent the
Minnesota Twins to a victory
over the Seattle Mariners.
Royals 4, Rangers 1
ARLINGTON, Texas Rob-
bie Ross hit David Lough with
a pitch with the bases loaded
to score the go-ahead run in
the 10th inning Sunday and the
Kansas City Royals beat the
Texas Rangers.
Athletics 4, White Sox 3
OAKLAND, Calif. Hector
Santiago walked Josh Reddick
with the bases loaded and two
outs in the 10th inning to force
in the winning run and lift the
Oakland Athletics over the
Chicago White Sox.

cal baseball.
Its not ending there.
A handful of the areas top se-
niors will also get to play on the
renovated field in Moosic today.

H I G H S C H O O L B A S E B A L L
quarterfinal match at Miners-
ville High School.
We realized this was a big feat
for District 2, said Prociak, who
slammed home 12 kills and two
blocks.
How big?
Long-time Holy Redeemer
and Bishop Hoban coach Jack
Kablick cant remember a Dis-
trict 2 team making the state
semifinal round for at least 20
years - although the state play-
off format was changed from an
early round-robin tournament to
one-on-one matchups from the
start this season.
It feels fantastic, Kablick
said.
For a while, it felt a little tense
to the Royals, who will face York
area power Northeastern at 6:30
p.m. Tuesday at Minersville
High School.
Redeemer fell behind 12-10 in
the first game and trailed 22-19
late in the second game before
staging comebacks to take both
games while getting off to slow
starts in both.
We always do, Kablick
shrugged. Were considering
giving the other teamfour points
and then starting the game. We
always talk about starting quick,
but it never happens.
It so happened the Royals just
needed a little push to hit high
gear.
Jeremy Myslowski served four
consecutive points and Morri-
son made a couple momentum-
swinging kills as the Royals
recovered to take control of the
first game, 14-12.
We never plan to fall behind,
ever, Leahigh said. When we
do, we rely on our seniors. We
really dont get nervous. Inten-
sity is a phenomenal part of vol-
leyball. Intensity is what really
swings the game.
In a tense second game, Lea-
high served five straight points
to finish the game and turn a
two-point Redeemer deficit into
a 25-22 victory.
I try and always work on
my serving, said Leahigh, who
served nine points and made
eight kills in the match. Ive al-
ways been a pretty talented hit-
ter. I always try to practice what
I serve.
That paid off today.
Prociaks hard spikes paid
dividends for Redeemer in that
second game, which the Barons
maintained control of until late.
A handful of key kills from
Prociak swung the game in Re-
deemers favor, as the 6-foot-7
middle hitter walloped home
five points - including one that
pulled the Royals within 22-21
and another which closed the
second game.
We just stayed calm, said
Prociak, who finished with 12
kills and two blocks. Everyone
just really played together. We
really just wanted to take it as
any other game. I feel comfort-
able taking it whenever we need
an important point.
The most critical part of Re-
deemers victory, though, once
again rested on Morrisons
shoulders.
Although his 13 kills - includ-
ing a few nifty dinks - provided
the Royals with crucial points,
his defense is what did the trick.
Redeemer matched their 6-7
defensive ace on Manheim Cen-
trals hard-hitting and league
MVP Josiah Hershberger, open-
ing the floor for the rest of the
Royals to shine.
A lot of people like the hard
hits, Morrison said. But de-
fense is a big part of the game,
too. We try to be as well-rounded
players as we can be.
Once again, that had a way of
flattening another talented state
opponent.
When youve got Mike Morri-
son kind of containing their best
and biggest players, that frees up
Prociak, Kablick said.
The Royals closed their victo-
ry with a run of nine consecutive
service points from Alex Kotch,
including two Prociak kills as
Redeemer grabbed a 24-12 lead.
I could kind of sense them
breaking, Leahigh said.
Meanwhile, the Royals made a
break for the state semifinals.
They wanted to come out and
really put it to us, Leahigh said.
But we executed our gameplan.
The senior leadership combined
with the talent of the underclass-
men really came through.
Holy Redeemer: Mike Morrison 13 kills, 2 blocks,
Mike Prociak 12 kills, 2 blocks, Brendan Leahigh
8 kills, 9 service points, Jeremy Myslowski 20
assists, 9 service points, Alex Kotch 15 service
points, 5 digs.

Trojans open coaching position
By JOHN ERZAR
jerzar@timesleader.com
Ken Bartuska has coached
boys basketball at Nanticoke for
the past 17 seasons. Whether
he returns for the 2013-14 cam-
paign will be in the hands of the
school board.
Nanticoke opened the posi-
tion of head coach, adversting
in Saturdays local papers for
candidates. Bartuska couldnt be
reached via phone, but said in an
email that he intends to apply.
He is also the athletic director at
the high school.
Bartuska started at Nanticoke
as an assistant before moving up
to the top spot. He has won three
Wyoming Valley Conference
titles and four District 2 champi-
onships during his tenure.
The Trojans finished 11-12
this past season and lost in the
first round of the District 2 Class
2A playoffs. Their last winning
season was 2008-09 when they
finished 14-10.
an excellent team.
There were water-break stop-
pages in each half to keep the
players hydrated and offer them
an opportunity to use ice to cool
down. At halftime, both teams
sought refuge from the bright
sun and warm turf by sitting
in the shade under the visitors
bleachers at Thomas Stadium.
One of the three on-field of-
ficials reached halftime but
could go no further. After ice,
fruits and beverages did little
to allay symptoms of potential
heat fatigue or worse, she was
taken via cart to the nearby high
school building to continue
treatment in an air conditioned
environment.
It was hard. Our midfielders
are used to playing the entire
game, Kersey said. Thats hard
to do in these conditions.
The good news is that at
least one person enjoyed the
extremely warm weather. Sem
assistant coach Randy Granger
was the recipient of an ice-water
shower after the game, thanks
to seniors Emily Granger and
Kristen Mericle.
Thats my father, Emily
Granger said. Hes our assis-
tant coach. Weve been playing
lacrosse together since fourth
grade.
Highlights during play were
not as plentiful as Kersey and
her squad might have liked.
The Blue Streaks (22-4)
scored the games first six goals.
But there could have been more
if not for the strong play in goal
by Blue Knights sophomore Kel-
ley Gavin early. The goalkeeper
made five of her eight saves dur-
ing the outburst to keep Man-
heim in sight.
I think that first couple of
minutes, we had to shake that
off, Mericle said. We had a
slump midway through as well.
But adjustments were made
and Sem (13-7) began to get
into the flow of the action.
A really important part of
that was we were working on
our second slides, Mericle said
of changes in the Sem defense
which began to quiet Manheim
after the early barrage.
We also tried to work on
pressuring the middle and lim-
iting their transitions, Granger
said.
Sophomore Alexis Quick beat
Manheim keeper Briana Lea-
man in the 15th minute, only to
have a foul wipe out the tally.
Mericle followed with a
goal on a set up from Amanda
Schwartz, and Quick later
cashed in another foul.
Granger, Mericle and Rebecca
Schulman added second-half
goals for Semas it completed its
most successful PIAA campaign
to date.
Certainly our seniors built
this program, Kersey said. We
didnt match up (against Man-
heim) quite as well as wed like,
but we played together. We have
a great lower school program, so
were excited about the future as
well.
The only team to win the
District 2 championship, Sem
won a state playoff game for the
first time this season, downing
District 4 champ Lewisburg on
Wednesday.
Its great to make history for
the program, Granger said. It
was hard (today) but we stuck
together.
We got to go another step in
the state playoffs, Mericle said.
The seniors (including six
starters Saturday) have been the
backbone of the team, from de-
fense to midfield to offense. Its
time for the next group now.

Holtons no-hitter leads Tunkhannock over W-B
TUNKHANNOCK In a
low scoring affair, Tunkhan-
nocks Aaron Holton pitched a
no-hitter on Saturday leading
Tunkhannock to a 1-0 victory
over Wilkes-Barre in American
Legion Baseball action.
Si Bernoskys run-scoring
hit in the fourth inning scoring
Jeremy Lee provided the only
score of the game.
Holton went all seven innings
and struck out eight to accom-
plish the feat.

Nanticoke raced out to a 5-0
lead after the top of the third
and Plains couldnt catch up.
Nanticoke shortstop Zach Kollar
went 2-for-5 and crossed the
plate twice to lead the offense,
while Mike Ferrence earned the
win going five innings with six
strikeouts.
For Plains, Dave Parsnik was
2-for-3, while Michael Delaney
had two hits and drove in a pair.
The Times Leader
A M E R I C N A L E G I O N B A S E B A L L
dressed for the first time in
the series while 2012 first round
pick defenseman Derrick Pou-
liot played in his first profes-
sional game.
Hynes said the youngsters
were inserted into the lineup
because they brought speed and
a new dynamic to the blueline,
while Zatkoff has been able to
steal games all throughout the
regular season.
Unfortunately it didnt hap-
pen tonight, Hynes said.
After winning Game 1 the
Penguins lost the last four to
Syracuse. And while they were
unable to advance to the Calder
Cup finals for what wouldve
been a fourth time in franchise
history, the Penguins confer-
ence finals appearance marked
the farthest theyve made it in
the playoffs since 2008.
But a potent Crunch team
made sure it would go no fur-
ther, beating the Penguins at
both ends of the ice. After allow-
ing the fewest goals in the regu-
lar season, the Penguins were
scorched for seven for the first
time all year, and it seemed like
Syracuse wasnt going to stop.
The Crunch pressed harder as
the first period progressed, gen-
erating two goals in 52 seconds.
Vlad Namestnikov struck first
at 16:04 when he poked in a shot
that had deflected in the air and
landed behind Zatkoff for a 1-0
lead.
Crunch defenseman Radko
Gudas made it 2-0 less than a
minute when his shot from the
point went through traffic in
front and under Zatkoff.
Once youre playing from be-
hind it gets difficult, particularly
with two tired teams, Hynes
said. We couldnt get within
one early in the game and then
it just snowballed after that.
In the last half of the sec-
ond period, Syracuse scored
three times a wrap-around by
Philippe Paradis, a one-timer
from Dan Sexton and a power
play tip by Ondrej Palat all
within five minutes, to put the
Penguins in an insurmountable
5-0 hole.
Team captain Joey Mormina
said he liked the way his team
played prior to the Syracuse out-
burst.
We carried the play for a lit-
tle bit, then a couple mistakes,
unraveled and the next thing
you know its 5-0, he said.
While the Crunch offense
soared, the Penguins struggled
to generate chances and were
outshot 15-6 in the second pe-
riod alone.
Paradis notched the hat trick
with a pair of third period goals
to put the Penguins down 7-0
and bring an abrupt end to Zat-
koffs night. He stopped 22-of-29
shots before being replaced by
Thiessen.
On the night, the Penguins
were 0-for-4 on the power play
and were outshot 30-23 by Syra-
cuse, which won by shutouts in
two of the last three games.
Despite the loss, Hynes said
the 2013 postseason was a suc-
cess in that the Penguins made
history with their comeback and
advanced further in the playoffs
than they have since 2008.
We came in as a low seed
and worked our way to the con-
ference finals, Hynes said. Ob-
viously were all disappointed
we didnt get further, but were
proud of what we did. (Syra-
cuse) is a good team. Credit to
them, they were the better team
in the series.

DURHAM, N.C. A day af-
ter not opting out of his minor
league contract with the Yan-
kees, Chien-Ming Wang showed
possible interested teams he
still can dominate.
Several outlets reported on
Friday that Wang stayed with
the RailRiders because even
though there were interested
teams, he wants a spot on a Ma-
jor League roster.
He looked worthy of a spot
on Saturday holding a high-
powered Durham offense in
check allowing just six hits in
seven shutout innings and lead-
ing Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to
a 9-0 win over the Bulls, which
entered the game leading the
International League in runs
scored.
The only real trouble he ran
into was in the second and third
innings when the Bulls had
two runners on with one out
both times. But Wang induced
grounders to help get out of the
jams. On the night, he got 14
outs in the infield via groundball
or line drive.
Wang (4-4) also got a lot of
help from his offense which
belted out 14 hits, including five
in eight at bats with runners in
scoring position.
Melky Mesa led the way for
the RailRiders offense going
3-for-5 with three RBI, while
Ronnier Mustelier also had a
3-for-5 night.
Zoilo Almontes sixth home
run of the season, a solo shot in
the top of the first, gave Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre the lead that
it would never give up. Mesa
crushed a two-run blast in the
top of the third for a 3-0 lead. It
was also his sixth of the year.
But the offense was just get-
ting started. The RailRiders
started to pour it on with single
runs in the fifth and sixth on run-
scoring singles by Dan Johnson
and Mesa, respectively. They
erupted for four runs in the top
of the seventh. First, Addison
Maruszak doubled home a pair
with the bases loaded. The next
batter, catcher Bobby Wilson
followed with a lined single to
plate two more and put the visi-
tors ahead 9-0.
It got so bad for the Bulls that
starting catcher Craig Albernaz
moved to the mound to pitch
the ninth inning. But he per-
formed well retiring the side in
order.
RailRiders reliever Dellin Be-
tances tossed a scoreless eighth
only allowing a walk, while
Mark Montgomery worked the
ninth and struggled a bit allow-
ing a run on two hits and didnt
notch any strikeouts.

Jeff Zatkoff starts in goal for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins Saturday night.
CHICAGO Patrick Sharp
and Marian Hossa scored in the
second period, and the Chicago
Blackhawks beat the Los An-
geles Kings 2-1 on Saturday in
Game 1 of the Western Confer-
ence finals.
Corey Crawford made 21
saves, and the Blackhawks gen-
erated just enough offense to
improve to 7-1 at home in the
playoffs.
Game 2 is scheduled for Sun-
day.
Jonathan Quick stopped
34 shots, and Justin Williams
scored for Los Angeles, which
has won just one of seven road
games in the playoffs.
Williams has scored the last
three goals for the defending
Stanley Cup champion Kings.
He was responsible for all of
Los Angeles offense in a 2-1 vic-
tory over the San Jose Sharks
in Game 7 of the second-round
series on Tuesday.
The Blackhawks and Kings
returned to the ice after get-
ting through strenuous second-
round series.
Top-seeded Chicago stormed
back to beat Detroit after trail-
ing 3-1 in the series, winning
Game 7 on Brent Seabrooks
overtime goal Wednesday night.
Fifth-seeded Los Angeles was
pushed to the brink of elimina-
tion by the Sharks in a series in
which the home team won ev-
ery game.
For the first period and much
of the second of the conference
finals opener, Chicago looked
hopeless against Quick and Los
Angeles talented defensemen.
DrewDoughty, Robyn Regehr
and Co. kept the Blackhawks
fleet forwards in check, and
Quick made it look as if there
was a white wall moving from
side to side in net.
As they did against Detroit,
the Blackhawks began to create
more quality chances when they
put more traffic in front.
With 7 minutes left in the
second, Sharp skated into the
zone, left the puck for Johnny
Oduya and kept moving for-
ward. When Quick kicked away
Oduyas slap shot, the puck went
right to Sharp, who scored into
the lower right corner to tie it
1-1 with his eighth playoff goal.
Sharp created another strong
opportunity a few minutes later,
but Brandon Saad shot wide
right on a potential tip-in.
The Blackhawks kept up the
pressure and went ahead when
Hossa had a beautiful midair
tip on Duncan Keiths long slap
shot at 16:22 of the second. The
puck landed in the lower right
corner again before Quick could
find the puck in the group of
bodies near the net.
Bruins 3, Penguins 0
PITTSBURGH -- David Kre-
jci scored two more goals dur-
ing his torrid postseason and
the Boston Bruins shut down
the Pittsburgh Penguins in the
opening game of the Eastern
Conference final.
Nathan Horton added an in-
surance goal in the third period
and Tuukka Rask stopped 29
shots for the Bruins, who si-
lenced Sidney Crosby and the
rest of the NHLs top-scoring
team.
Pittsburgh came in averaging
a league-high 4.27 goals in the
playoffs but couldnt solve Rask.
The Penguins hit the post six
times and seemed a little bit off
following an eight-day break be-
tween rounds.
The Bruins were coming off
a similar layoff but had no such
issues. Krejci scored early, and
the Bruins handed Pittsburgh
its worst loss of the playoffs.
Game 2 is Monday night.

Runners start the West Piitston Anthracite 4 Mile Run on Saturday.
Wasnetsky holds off Wadas again
WEST PITTSTON For
the second time in six days,
Chris Wasnetsky held off Chris
Wadas for a victory.
Wasnetsky, 24, of Dunmore,
led a field of over 100 runners,
winning the 36th annual West
Pittston Anthracite 4 Mile Run
on Saturday. The former stand-
out runner from Bishop OHara
High School and the University
of Scranton, crossed the finish
line in 20 minutes and 45 sec-
onds. Wadas, 31, of Courtdale,
who lost to Wasnetsky in the
Old Fort 5 Miler in Forty Fort
on Memorial Day by three
seconds, came up short again
this time by just under five
seconds.
Frankie Redmond, 24, of Ex-
eter, who won the 4-miler last
year, finished third, 47 seconds
behind Wadas.
(Wadas) and I ran together
for the first two miles, said
Wasnetsky. I pulled ahead at
that point, but I didnt push. I
wanted to save energy, in case
he caught up to me late in the
race.
Wadas said that he didnt
want to go with Wasnetsky at
that point.
I let him go, said Wadas. I
tried to run him down later in
the race, but just like in Forty
Fort, I couldnt catch him.
Wadas attempted to catch
Wasnetsky on a downhill over
the last mile but his attempt
was in vain.
Im good on uphills, but
not so good on downhills,said
Wasnetsky. So (Wadas) knew
what he was doing, trying to
catch me on the downhill. But I
was able to hold him off.
Marina Orrson didnt have
to worry about holding off any-
one. She captured top female
honors with a sixth-place fin-
ish overall in 23:53. Michelle
Golden, 20, of West Pittston,
finished second, 2:05 behind
Orrson. Last years winner,
Deedra Porfirio, 36, of West
Pittston, placed third, 21 sec-
onds behind Golden.
I ran in second place for the
first 200 meters, said Orrson,
22, of Shavertown. I really
didnt surge at that point. I just
basically kept up my pace. I
surged over the last mile. And
I pushed with about a half mile
to go right to the finish.
Notes: Orrson, who ran cross
country and track for Lake-
Lehman High School and Mi-
sericordia University under her
coach, Wadas, was a national
qualifier in NCAA Division III
competition in the 10,000 me-
ter run this past season.
Golden, who ran cross coun-
try and track for Wyoming Area
High School, just finished her
sophomore year at Bucknell
University where she runs
cross country and track.

Steelers
OT Adams
stabbed
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh
police say an offensive tackle
for the Pittsburgh Steelers was
stabbed twice during an at-
tempted carjacking on the citys
South Side district.
Police said 23-year-old Mi-
chael Adams told officers he was
standing near his truck shortly
after 3 a.m. Saturday when he
was confronted by three men,
one armed with a knife and one
armed with a handgun.
Adams told police the trio
tried to carjack him, but he
didnt have his car keys. He said
the situation escalated and
one man pointed the gun at his
face while the other stabbed him
twice before all three fled, ac-
cording to police.
Adams went into a nearby res-
taurant to seek help and was lat-
er taken to UPMC Mercy, where
he had surgery for stab wounds
to the abdomen and left fore-
arm. Police said he is currently
in stable condition with non-life-
threatening injuries.
Adams tweeted: I had an an-
gel lookin out for me! Ill be ok
just gotta fight to get back hard-
er then ever.
He was drafted in the second
round of the 2012 NFL Draft
and named the teams outstand-
ing rookie, starting six of the 10
games in which he played.
Police said they were looking
for suspects.
Blaylock upgraded
ATLANTA Former NBA
All-Star guard Daron Mookie
Blaylock was upgraded to seri-
ous condition at an Atlanta hos-
pital Saturday, a day after his
SUV crashed head-on into a van
and killed a woman.
Atlanta Medical Center
spokeswoman Nicole Gustin
confirmed that the 46-year-old
Blaylocks condition had im-
proved since he was airlifted to
the hospital. Police said the for-
mer Atlanta Hawks player was
initially placed on life support
and was in critical condition late
Friday even after he was taken
off of it.
Blaylock was driving in neigh-
boring Jonesboro Friday after-
noon when he crashed, said
Clayton County police spokes-
man Clarence Cox. Police said
his SUV crossed the center line
and slammed into an oncoming
van.
A passenger in the van,
43-year-old Monica Murphy, died
Friday night, Jonesboro Police
Chief Franklin Allen said. Her
husband, 41-year-old Frankie
Murphy, suffered a broken ankle.
Allen told WSB-TV in Atlanta
that Blaylock has had a history
of seizures, and police were try-
ing to find out if a seizure may
have led to the accident.
Blaylock was a first-round draft
pick by the New Jersey Nets out
of Oklahoma in 1989. He played
for the Atlanta Hawks between
1992 and 1999.

INDIANAPOLIS Roy Hib-

bounds, Paul George finished
with 28 points, and the Indiana
Pacers forced a deciding game
in the Eastern Conference finals
with a 91-77 victory over the Mi-
ami Heat on Saturday night.
LeBron James scored 29
points for the defending NBA
champions, who will host Game
7 on Monday. Dwyane Wade
was limited to just 10.
The Pacers opened the third
quarter on a 14-2 run as the Heat
went 1 of 11 from the field. Indi-
ana led by as much as 66-49 late
in the third.
Miami couldnt get closer
than four the rest of the way.
Grant Hill retires
LOS ANGELES Seven-
time All-Star Grant Hill retired
from the NBA on Saturday af-
ter 19 seasons, ending a career
interrupted by injuries that in-
cluded an Olympic gold medal.
The Los Angeles Clippers an-
nounced the news, which came
as no surprise since Hill had
been mulling his future after the
team was eliminated in the first
round of the playoffs. He had
one season left on his contract.
Ive been hinting at it for the
last few years and you get to a
point where you just dont want
to do it anymore. But Ive en-
joyed it, Ive loved it, Hill said
while appearing on TNTs pre-
game showbefore Game 6 of the
Eastern Conference finals.
Hill appeared in just 29 games
last season, his first with the
Clippers, but he lent a valuable
veteran presence.
Gary Sacks, the teams vice
president of basketball opera-
tions, called Hill the embodi-
ment of class, a true profession-
al.
The 40-year-old forward aver-
aged 16.7 points, 6.0 rebounds,
4.1 assists and 1.2 steals dur-
ing a career that included stints
with the Clippers, Detroit, Or-
lando and Phoenix.
Im certainly proud of what
Ive been able to do, he said af-
ter the Clippers lost to Memphis
last month.
Hill struggled with injuries,
particularly his troublesome left
ankle.
After leaving Detroit prior to
the 2000-01 season, he spent
seven seasons with the Orlando
Magic in which he was limited
to just 200 games due to injuries
to the ankle.
Before joining the Clippers,
Hill spent five seasons with
Phoenix. In 2010-11, he became
the seventh player in NBA histo-
ry to average 13 or more points
at the age of 38 or older.
Grant was an outstanding
player and embodied the ideals
of dedication and perseverance
in overcoming injury and ad-
versity during his distinguished
NBA career, NBA Commis-
sioner David Stern said. He was
always the consummate team-
mate and professional. We wish
Grant and his family our very
best and, hope he will continue
to contribute to the growth
of the league and the sport for
years to come.
During the 2011-12 season
with Phoenix, Hill had a medial
meniscus tear in his right knee.
He missed 61 games because of a
sports hernia during the 2006-06
season with Orlando. He missed
the entire 2003-04 season with
the Magic while rehabbing his
left ankle after having surgery
on it the previous season.
In 2000-01, he had season-
ending surgery to repair a bro-
ken bone in his left ankle.
Hill was named to the All-
NBA first team in 1997. He
was a three-time winner of the
leagues sportsmanship award.
After a standout four-year ca-
reer at Duke, Hill was drafted
third overall by Detroit in 1994.
He and Jason Kidd of Dallas
shared Rookie of the Year hon-
ors. Hill was named to the all-
rookie first team that year and
became the first rookie to lead
the league in All-Star fan ballot-
ing.
At Duke, Hill helped the Blue
Devils to consecutive national
championships in 1991 and 92.
He won a gold medal on the U.S.
basketball team at the 1996 At-
lanta Games. He was named to
the 2000 U.S. Olympic team, but
didnt play because of injury.

Located in the heart of the Rideau Lakes, excellent Bass and Pike shing have
brought shermen to Stirling Lodge for over 120 years. Our Facilities are capable of
handling groups both large and small, with rates starting at just $99 USD per person.
Great Fishing Less Than
7 Hours Away!
Newboro Lake provides some of the best bass shing anywhere. Both
large and smallmouth bass are plentiful. The Pike shing is excellent
though we dont see pike over 13 pounds. What they lack in size they
make up for in numbers.
Newboro Lake is one of the very few lakes in Canada with a sh
sanctuary on it and is the only one with two. These protected areas and
the catch and release practice
of many of our guests results in
amazingly stable and consistent
shing.
Newboro Lake has it all; from
lily pads in the shallows, tree stumps, weedy areas, hundreds of
islands, depths to over 100 feet and beautiful clear water lime-
stone rock formations (which means acid rain is neutralized) its
easy to see why shermen have made this a favorite spot for well
over 120 years.

Haas let a record 12 match
points get away from him in the
fourth set, then saved one in the
fifth. He eventually pulled out a
7-5, 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-7 (10), 10-8
victory over 19th-seeded John
Isner, the last American man
in the field and the player best

These long matches seem to

setters.
In hindsight, probably would
have been better to lose in
straight sets, he added, be-
cause I feel terrible right now.
In Nishikoris victory, his op-
ponent, Frances Benoit Paire,
was assessed a point penalty
for getting coached. The same
thing happened to Marina Era-
kovic during her loss to No. 17
Sloane Stephens, one of four
U.S. women into the fourth
round.
Thats the most since four
also made it in 2004; five made
it a year earlier. Shes joined by
54th-ranked Jamie Hampton,
who stunned 2011 Wimbledon
champion Petra Kvitova 6-1, 7-6
(7); 67th-ranked Bethanie Mat-
tek-Sands, who also won Satur-
day; and 15-time major cham-
pion Serena Williams, whose
fourth-round match is Sunday.
Stephens gets the most in-
triguing matchup with a quar-
terfinal berth at stake, taking
on defending champion Maria
Sharapova on Monday.
Sharapova, who completed a
career Grand Slam in Paris last
year, dealt with eight double-
faults against unseeded Zheng
Jie before winning 6-1, 7-5.
She was most disappointed by
a line call on one of those dou-
ble-faults, which came on break
point and created a 4-1 deficit
in the second set. The chair
umpire climbed down to check
the mark in the clay but,
Sharapova said, the wrong one.
And she said the French Open
should join other Grand Slam
tournaments in using a video
replay system.
The umpire did not recog-
nize that the mark he pointed
out was about a foot away from
the actual mark. So thats a huge
question mark, to begin with,
she said. Second of all, yes, all
the other Grand Slams have (re-
play). And I know these types
of situations, although much
more rarely on the clay, happen.
Why not? Why dont we have a
system like this? I mean, is it a
money concern? I dont think
so.
Hampton next plays 2008 U.S.
Open runner-up Jelena Jankov-
ic, Mattek-Sands faces No.
12 Maria Kirilenko, and 2010
champion Francesca Schiavone
plays two-time Australian Open
winner Victoria Azarenka.
Those matches will be Mon-
day, when Nadal will return
to the court, too. The way hes
been playing, he looked forward
to a chance to work on some
things in the meantime.
Asked after the Fognini match
what hes pleased with about his
game at the moment, Nadal re-
plied: Not one.
He is trying to become the
first man to win eight cham-
pionships at one Grand Slam
tournament and is now 55-1 at
Roland Garros.
But, wearing a wrap of white
tape below his oft-troublesome
left knee, he was as erratic as
ever Saturday, with 40 unforced
errors and problems converting
break points. Hes never lost to a
player seeded as low as Fognini
at any major tournament but fell
behind 3-2 when broken in the
first set; perhaps coincidentally,
Nadal was warned for taking
too much time between points
in that game. Nadal broke back,
but later dropped serve again to
trail 6-5.
In one stretch of that set, Nad-
al lost 10 of 11 points that lasted
at least 10 strokes, the types of
exchanges he typically controls.
If Fognini had not made as
many errors as he did a
botched overhead here, a sit-
ter into the net there Nadal
would have been in serious trou-
ble. The Spaniard lost the first
set against 59th-ranked Daniel
Brands in the first round, and
the first set against 35th-ranked
Martin Klizan in the second
round.
Nadal managed to pull out the
first set in a tiebreaker against
Fognini, but only allowed a
smile to crease his face after
2 hours, 45 minutes of sneering
while waving to the crowd
when the match was over.
If I can calmdown, I will play
better, Nadal said afterward.
Otherwise, I can go back to
Mallorca and go fishing.

P R O G O L F
DUBLIN, Ohio Matt
Kuchar couldnt think of condi-
tions more difficult than Satur-
day in the Memorial, and he had
plenty of evidence.
The swirling wind that made
it difficult to pull the right club.
Fast greens that led to 65 three-
putts in the third round alone.
And a 44 on the back nine for
Tiger Woods, the highest nine-
hole score of his professional
career.
I think most of us would tend
to be surprised any time Tiger
shoots a number like that, but a
lot more understandable in these
conditions, Kuchar said after
hanging on for a 2-under 70 that
gave him a two-shot lead.
If youre not on good form,
these conditions are really going
to beat you up.
Woods rallied on the front
nine to salvage a 79, matching
his second-worst score on the
PGA Tour. And that wasnt even
the highest score on a tough day
at Muirfield Village. Jordan Spi-
eth shot 45 on the front nine for
an 82, while Zach Johnson and
Justin Hicks each had an 81.
Kevin Chappell matched the
best round of the day with a
4-under 68, leaving him two
shots out of the lead, along with
Kyle Stanley, who had a 70.
Chappell loves having a chance
to win his first PGA Tour event,
which isnt to suggest it was fun
getting to that position.
I guess its like a prize fight-
er, Chappell said. He enjoys
winning, but I dont know if he
enjoys getting hit that much.
Kuchar was at 8-under 208,
among 10 players separated by
four shots.
It was a bit of survival,
Kuchar said. I was fortunate
to make a handful of birdies. I
think anytime you make a birdie
in these conditions, you feel
like youre really up on the field
here. Most of these holes, youre
looking at just getting out with
a par.
Woods didnt get away with
anything.
Shoprite Lpga Classic
GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP,
N.J. Shanshan Feng shot a
marvelous 4-under 67 before the
wind picked up Saturday and
grabbed a three-shot lead after
two rounds of the ShopRite
LPGA Classic.
Feng, who last year became
the first Chinese player to win
an LPGA Tour title and a major
event in capturing the LPGA
Championship, matched the
best score of the day. Using
a new set of clubs, she had a
6-under 136 total on the wind-
whipped Bay Course at the
Stockton Hotel and Golf Club.
First-round co-leader Moriya
Jutanugarn of Thailand and
Haeji Kang of South Korea
shared second at 3 under. Juta-
nugarn had a 73, and Kang shot
69. Defending champion and
second-ranked Stacy Lewis shot
a 9-over 80, matching her worst
round since the third round of
U.S. Womens Open last year. She
fell from third to a tie for 50th.
Principal Charity Classic
DES MOINES, Iowa
Duffy Waldorf shot a 5-under 67
to take a one-stroke lead after
the second round of the Cham-
pions Tours Principal Charity
Classic.
Waldorf had an 8-under 136
total. Bart Bryant and Jay Don
Blake were tied for second.
Bryant had a 64, and Blake shot
a 66. Russ Cochran was 6 under
after a 67.
The 50-year-old Waldorf
is winless in 12 career starts
on the 50-and-over tour after
winning four times on the PGA
Tour. He took advantage of calm
conditions at the Wakonda Club
to post a bogey-free round after
opening with a 69 for a share of
the first-round lead.

Denny Hamlin climbs into his car before practice for the NAS-
CAR Sprint Cup series race on Saturday at Dover International
Speedway in Dover, Del.
DOVER, Del. Denny Ham-
lin has tried to learn to love Do-
ver.
He just cant. Not yet, at least.
Maybe Hamlin has to learn to
win at Dover before he can truly
embrace the mile concrete oval.
Hamlin has been tormented
for years by the track and voiced
his disdain for Dover as finishes
in the 30s or worse piled up.
Hamlin also knows he cant fo-
cus on the past disappointments.
He has to conquer his Dover de-
mons and try and win there if he
wants to keep his long shot bid
to make Chase alive.
Winning the pole for Sundays
race was a nice start.
Hamlin, actually, has won the
last two poles at Dover and par-
layed his top spot into an eighth-
place finish in the September
race. The top-10 snapped a
streak of three straight double-
digit finishes at the Monster
Mile. Hamlin had a four-race
stretch from 2007-09 where he
finished no better than 36th.
Those are usually the results
for a driver like Casey Mears,
not someone like Hamlin, who is
always in the thick of the cham-
pionship hunt.
His average Dover finish of
19.6 is the worst of any track.
But two poles and a top 10
could be the start of a new era
for Hamlin.
We possibly could have
turned the corner here, Hamlin
said. Well actually see the re-
sults on Sunday.
Hamlin needs a big payoff in
the form of a checkered flag at
the 400-mile race. Hamlins four-
race absence because of his back
injury has him needing wins to
make the Chase and race for his
first career championship.
Hamlins fourth-place finish
last week at Charlotte Motor
Speedway moved him up three
spots to 24th in the standings,
53 points out of 20th position,
where hed need to be to be eligi-
ble for one of two wild-card slots
in the Chase for the Sprint Cup
championship. He is 97 points
out of the top 10 and an auto-
matic berth in the Chase.
Hamlin is ready drive for wins,
not just a solid points day.
Were going to need to win
races, so were going to do every-
thing we can to try to get that,
he said. Ill be as aggressive as I
can, so Im treating this as more
of an offensive race than a defen-
sive one, for sure.
Hes in a hole after being side-
lined for four races with a com-
pression fracture in his lower
spine following a March 24 crash
involving former teammate Joey
Logano. His Joe Gibbs Racing
team has done all it can to make
him comfortable in the No. 11
Toyota. He switched up his seat
belt configuration, had air bags
stuffed into the drivers seat to
assist with comfort and theres
padding to help support his still
achy back.
Im pretty comfortable right
now, really as comfortable as Ive
been, Hamlin said.
The adjustments to his seat
certainly havent affected his per-
formance. Hamlin has moved up
seven spots to 24th place in the
standings since his return. JGR
teammate Kyle Busch is the only
driver 11th to 20th in the stand-
ings with a victory.
Hamlin, who won five times
last season, has 20th in sight and
one of his favorite tracks up next
Pocono Raceway. He has four
career wins at Pocono.
Were going to have to capital-
ize on our money tracks, Hamlin
said. Were going to have to win
at those race tracks, and sneak a
few in here and there when we
dont expect it. Were doing ev-
erything we can. If we come up
short, then we come up short.
Hamlin and Jimmie Johnson
are the only two drivers to make
the Chase for the Sprint Cup ev-
ery year theyve been eligible.
The Chase may as well have
already started for Hamlin.
Not only does he need to win,
he has to hope that many former
Cup champions stuck in the 11th
to 20th spots also dont drive
their way into Victory Lane. Jeff
Gordon, Kurt Busch and Tony
Stewart are among the drivers
who need a win to help solidify
a wild-card spot.
If you go for wins, then youre
going to run well and finish con-
sistent, Busch said.
With the way Hamlin has been
running, he should crack the top
20.
One big win sure would help.
We just need to win every-
thing we can, he said.

Joey Logano celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Nationwide Series race on Saturday at Dover International
Speedway in Dover, Del.
Logano wins Nationwide race at Dover
DOVER, Del. Joey Loga-
no savors the times he led Joe
Gibbs Racing into Victory Lane.
Turns out, he enjoys beating
JGR so much more.
Logano changed his team
and his car, just not the result,
and raced to his third straight
Dover victory in the Nation-
wide Series on Saturday.
Unlike the last two, Logano
won for Penske Racing. His pre-
vious two Dover victories came
under the Gibbs banner.
This time, Logano held off
JGR drivers Brian Vickers, Matt
Kenseth and Kyle Busch for the
checkered flag.
I wanted to beat them really
bad, Logano said.
Busch, who won the Truck
Series race Friday, dominated
most of the race and led 72 of
the 200 laps. But he was 10th
off the final restart, couldnt drive his way to the
front of the field and was fifth.
Vickers was second, Kenseth third, and Trevor
Bayne fourth.
Logano raced to his first Nationwide victory of
the season after winning nine times last year.
It is amazing to finally win for the captain, Rog-
er Penske, Logano said. It feels good to get back
in Victory Lane.
Logano won for the 19th time in 114 career Na-
tionwide starts.
Busch was trying to sweep the NASCAR triple-
header at Dover but fell short in trying win all
three for the first time since 2010.
With the race under caution, Busch took four
tires while Logano went with two on the final
pit stop. Logano led the field to green and pulled
away.
Its my fault. Im aggravated with myself,
Busch said. I made the wrong call there. I just fig-
ured more would take four.
The 23-year-old Logano
came into NASCAR with Joe
Gibbs Racing in 2008 with
the nickname Sliced Bread.
Hes yet to make the leap to
the next level and won only
two Cup races. JGR wanted
to keep Logano even after
signing Matt Kenseth. But
they didnt have the pieces in
place for a fourth full-time Cup
team, and AJ Allmendingers
failed drug test opened the
No. 22 seat at Penske Racing
that Logano pursued.
This is definitely fun to
come to Dover and finally beat
those Gibbs cars, Logano
said.
Logano credited crew chief
Jeremy Bullins for making the
right call and going with two
tires on the last pit. Bullins
made a last-second audible
to go with two after he saw
Busch and go with four.
That was the only thing I was watching, Bul-
lins said.
I was watching to see what they did, and saw
a bunch of cars coming that had taken two so we
knew we would have a cushion and opted for two
tires at the last minute.
Good call. Busch was denied his third straight
Nationwide win and seventh of the season.
To finally beat that 54 car, that was the team I
worked with for the last seven years or so since my
Nationwide debut really, Logano said. To beat
them means a lot to me after they have been win-
ning so much this year.
Points leader Regan Smith was ninth. Vickers
jumped from fifth to third in the standings, 42
points behind Smith.
We need to chip back away at the points where
were really racing toward a championship, Vick-
ers said.
It was a good day, but we want to win.
Leave that to Logano.

IndyCar now,
Nationwide later
for Allmendinger
DOVER, Del. AJ All-
mendinger is set to drive in
two NASCAR Nationwide Se-
ries races for Penske Racing.
Penske Racing announced
Saturday it plans to put All-
mendinger in road course
events at Road America on
June 22 and the Mid-Ohio
Sports Car Course on Aug. 17.
With his stock car experi-
ence and his road course ex-
perience, we think this is the
perfect opportunity for him
and for the team, team owner
Roger Penske said.
This weekend, Allmending-
er is driving in the Detroit
Grand Prix races and insists
he doesnt have a preference
between IndyCar and NAS-
CAR racing.
Im just happy to have the
opportunity to drive some-
thing, he said before a first-lap
crash ended his race Saturday.
Allmendinger has driven
a limited NASCAR schedule
since being suspended for a
failed drug test last year. Pen-
ske fired him but gave him an-
other chance in IndyCar.
Theres nothing I could do
to come even close to repay-
ing him, Allmendinger said.
So, I just try to give every-
thing Ive got and hopefully its
enough.
Allmendinger finished sev-
enth in the Indianapolis 500
last week.

Conway wins 1st race
at Detroit Grand Prix
DETROIT Mike Conway
went from watching to win-
ning IndyCar races in less than
a week.
The English driver domi-
nated the first of two races at
the Detroit Grand Prix, finish-
ing nearly 13 seconds ahead
of defending series champion
Ryan Hunter-Reay on Saturday
to easily win the 70-lap race on
the 2.36-mile Belle Isle street
course.
Dale Coyne Racing picked
Conway to drive one of its two
cars this weekend after he
didnt have a ride during the
Indianapolis 500 and wasted
no time offering him another
opportunity.
You want to go to Toronto
now? team owner Dale Coyne
asked Conway after the race.
Yes, he does because the
Streets of Toronto race in July
suits his road-racing preference.
Conway backed out of last
Septembers season finale at
Fontana because he decided
hes uncomfortable racing on
ovals. He had serious leg and
back injuries after a 2010 crash
at Indianapolis and wrecked
there again in 2012.
In his only other IndyCar
race since then, he qualified
fifth and finished 25th this year
at Long Beach for Bobby Rahal.
Conways only other IndyCar
win was at Long Beach in 2011.
The open-wheel series is run-
ning a second, full-length race
in the same weekend for the
first time today when Conway
will start up front for the first
time in his career.
The car has been great all
weekend, he said.
Conways Dale Coyne Rac-
ing teammate, Justin Wilson,
was third and Scott Dixon was
fourth. Helio Castroneves fin-
ished fifth, to make him the
points leader just ahead of
Hunter-Reay.
Marco Andretti, who put his
famous family atop the stand-
ings for the first time in more
than a decade, finished 20th
and made at least one other
driver very angry.
Sebastian Saavedra hit a tire
barrier on lap 33 after Andretti
ran him into a wall.
Its just frustrating to see
that Marco keeps doing these
dirty moves and as usual noth-
ing is done to him, said Saave-
dra, who extended his middle
fingers toward Andretti when
he passed by on his next lap.
Its just a very frustrating day.
It was for AJ Allmendinger,
too.
After it was announced that
hes getting another shot to
race stock cars, he failed to fin-
ish a lap after getting squeezed
between Scott Dixon and Justin
Wilson.
Its just my fault, he said. I
feel bad.
Allmendinger, and the rest of
the drivers who didnt win, will
have a chance to bounce back in
Sundays race on the same track
that held up much better than it
did last year.
Dixon won last years De-
troit Grand Prix marred by pot
holes and grooves that stopped
the race for a little more than 2
hours and shortened the 90-lap
race to 70.
To avoid embarrassment and
create more opportunities to
pass, Roger Penskes Michigan-
based company and Chevrolet
invested nearly $2 million to
improve and reconfigure the
track.
It looked like money well
spent.
Drivers had opportunities to
make more moves and Conway
took advantage right away and
pavement stayed in place.

Orb was beaten in the Preak-
ness by Oxbow two weeks ago,
the dry spell without a Triple
Crown champion reached 35
years and counting.
Its not the same buzz as
when a horse wins the first two
legs, trainer Todd Pletcher
said. But to me, the Belmont
Stakes is still one of the most
coveted prizes in racing, and
certainly with New Yorks stat-
ure as Americas leader in rac-
ing, I would say its one of the
two premier events for 3-year-
olds.
Certainly, when the field
lines up for next Saturdays
145th running of the Belmont,
there will be plenty of historic
subplots waiting to unfold over
the 1-mile tour of Belmont
Park.
Among them is the next best
thing to a Triple shot a re-
match between the Derby win-
ner and the Preakness winner.
Also, Pletcher is set to run a
record five horses in the race,
and one of them Unlimited
Budget could give Rosie
Napravnik a chance to become
the first female rider to win a
Triple Crown race aboard a filly.
Its a far cry from the buildup
during last years Triple Crown
campaign, when Ill Have An-
other won the Derby and Preak-
ness in thrilling finishes but
was scratched the day before
the Belmont with a tendon in-
jury.
The goal every year is to
compete in the classics, said
trainer Tom Albertrani, who
won the 2006 Preakness with
Bernardini and will send out
Freedom Child in the Belmont.
When you see Triple Crown
races on TV, you know you are
watching the best of the best
competing.
The Belmont fills the bill if
the probable lineup holds up by
post time.
Orb looks to be back in top
form following his fourth-place
finish in the Preakness, where
the 3-year-old colt ridden by
Joel Rosario was unable to
find much running room after
breaking from the inside post.
Belmont still offers
slice of racing history
U P N E X T
BELMONT STAKES
5 p.m. Saturday, NBC
Thirty-five years. Thirty-six
by the time the Belmont Stakes
rolls around next June and
theres a chance maybe of
horse racings first Triple Crown
winner since Affirmed.
Its the longest dry spell in his-
tory.
Everyone who loves the sport
has a theory on why a 3-year-old
thoroughbred hasnt been able
to sweep the Kentucky Derby,
Preakness and Belmont.
Changes in breeding. A tough-
er road to the Derby. Bigger
fields in the three races.
And then theres luck.
It takes a special horse, said
Steve Cauthen, who rode Af-
firmed in 1978. And you need
things to not go wrong for you.
Its not impossible, or at least
it wasnt.
Since Sir Barton won what lat-
er became known as the Triple
Crown in 1919, 10 other thor-
oughbreds have completed the
feat, including three each in the
30s, 40s and 70s. Most recent-
ly, Secretariat set track records
on the way to his sweep in 1973,
followed by Seattle Slew in 77
and Affirmed the next year.
Back then, the question was
whether the series had become
too easy. Not anymore.
Sure, there have been 11 Tri-
ple possibilities since Affirmed,
and there could have been 12
except that Ill Have Another
was scratched the day before the
Belmont last year with a tendon
injury.
Hopes were dashed again this
year, as Kentucky Derby winner
Orb lost in the Preakness to Ox-
bow, leaving Saturdays Belmont
Stakes almost an afterthought
despite its $1 million purse.
It would be great for racing if
a horse wins it and at the same
time the fact no one has been
able to do it for so long makes
it that more exciting, that much
more intriguing, said trainer
Todd Pletcher, who won the
2010 Derby with Super Saver.
The Triple Crown is run on a
compressed schedule, just five
weeks from start to finish. Each
race varies in distance, from 1
miles at the Derby to 1 3/16
miles at the Preakness to 1
miles at the Belmont different
tracks and crowded fields, with
20 horses typically contesting
the rough-and-tumble Derby.
To understand what a Triple
try means to racing fans, just
look at Belmont attendance.
The track on Long Island
might draw in the neighborhood
of 50,000 fans when racings
greatest prize isnt on the line.
But when it is, the numbers
soar.
From 2002-04, the race attract-
ed its three largest crowds
more than 100,000 each year
and in 2008, more than 94,000
packed Belmont Park only to
see Big Brown fail to finish his
Triple bid as DaTara pulled off
an upset.
Those years also netted the
most eyeballs for NBC and
ABCs telecasts of the race. The
networks posted monster view-
ership each year, with the high-
est number of 21.86 million tun-
ing in for Smarty Jones attempt
in 2004. The small chestnut colt
helped bring in a record 120,139
fans to Belmont that day.
Seattle Slew is the only Triple
Crown winner to account for one
of the top-10 crowds on Belmont
day. His winning bid in 1977 at-
tracted 71,026 back when the
feat wasnt as publicized because
TV was primarily three chan-
nels, cable was in its infancy, and
the Internet and social media
didnt exist.
Thats not all that has changed
about the racing landscape.
Tracks were once among the few
outlets for gambling but now ca-
sinos dot the landscape, wagers
can be placed online from home,
poker tournaments air in prime
time and lottery jackpots are in
the hundreds of millions.
Its easy to make a case that its
become harder to win a Triple
Crown since the 1970s, too.
Under a new system instituted
this year by Churchill Downs,
there is increased pressure to
qualify for the Kentucky Derby
by racking up points in designat-
ed races. If a horse doesnt have
enough points, then those prep
races turn into must-wins. Quali-
fying was previously based on
earnings in graded stakes races,
a bigger pool.
Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne
Lukas, who owns a record 14
victories in Triple Crown races,
views the series as five races,
including a couple of preps, in-
stead of just the Derby, Preak-
ness and Belmont.
Its becoming increasingly
more difficult to perform, he
said. You cant take a soft ap-
proach to the Derby. Youve got
to have two or three tough races
to get into the darn thing. When
you get here (at the Derby),
youve used up a certain amount
of energy.
Still, horses today have lighter
schedules than their ancestors,
with trainers choosing to run
their horses sparingly and allow-
ing ample time between races.
Orb made just three starts this
year before winning the Derby,
typical of many Triple Crown
contenders. Verrazano, who fin-
ished 14th in the Derby, didnt
run at all as a 2-year-old.
They dont seem to be over-
all quite as tough or durable as
horses in the past, said Cau-
then, who now breeds horses on
his farm in Verona, Ky. Affirmed
ran nine or 10 times as a 2-year-
old and he thrived on his racing.
Thirty years ago, it was
nothing to race a horse every
couple of weeks and sometimes
you might race them twice in a
week. You dont see that much
anymore. Im not saying theyre
wrong, but its a different mind-
set. They want their horses to be
as fresh as possible and are prim-
ing them for a certain race, and
some of the horses are racing
just four or five times (overall)
before they get to the Derby.
By comparison, 1948 Triple
Crown winner Citation raced 16
times before the Kentucky Der-
by. Secretariat raced 12 times
before the Derby, while Seattle
Slew raced six times.
I have so much respect for
those (11) horses, Hall of Fame
trainer Bob Baffert said. They
were not only fast and really
good horses, they were made of
iron.
Trainers have to adjust their
methods to their horses, making
sure the four-legged athletes are
rested yet fit enough to run on
the three big days.
Once you get into the Triple
Crown series then it is really dif-
ficult to keep the energy level
up, the soundness, keep them
focused and keep them happy,
Lukas said. Time is your ally
when youre training horses and
you dont get it. If we had more
spacing it would be a lot easier. It
makes it difficult and thats why
the Triple Crown is such a spe-
cial and hard-to-achieve honor.
Breeding has changed since
the glut of Triple Crown winners
in the 1970s, when the industry
was focused on breeding horses
to race them as opposed to to-
days emphasis on sales.

One sound of
spring is sadly
disappearing
I
leaned against a fence post on a
warm night last week and listened
to a chorus of frogs calling from a
nearby pond.
In the still night air I could clearly
hear the calls of bullfrogs and green
frogs calling from the water and gray
tree frogs emanating from the tall
wetland grasses.
The chorus was calming - a sign that
the hot sun that had baked the earth
all day had now yielded to the relief
offered by the night sky.
And the frogs were taking full
advantage of it as their calls - all three
distinct but meshing perfectly, filled
the night sky.
It was a good sound, but one that
one day may never be heard.
A recent study yielded some star-
tling findings when it comes to frogs,
toads and salamanders.
Theyre declining. Apparently faster
than we believed.
In the 1990s research first showed that
amphibian populations were dropping.
The new study showed that the drop is
continuing and things havent stabilized.
The study was released on May 22 and
published in the scientific journal PLOS
ONE and the reaction among the biology
community was one of serious concern.
The paper points to some startling
declines, said David Miller, assistant
professor of wildlife population ecology
at Penn State University. What is most
disconcerting is that these declines are
occurring for not only the species that
we already knew were threatened or
endangered but also for the species that
were considered low concern.
The declines are occurring everywhere
in the country, including the swamps,
ponds and bogs of Pennsylvania. The fact
that it shows amphibians once consid-
ered stable are declining is startling.
Does that mean that future genera-
tions, or even our generation, may
one day no longer hear a big bullfrog
bellow from a pond?
I thought about that as during a
last-minute gobbler hunt on Friday
morning. I approached a beaver pond
nestled deep in the woods and was ser-
enaded with an early morning chorus
of wood frogs. It was a good sound to
wake up to in the springtime woods,
and with the study fresh in my mind,
I stopped to appreciate the calls of the
wood frogs a little longer.
Just in case.
According to the study, populations
of those amphibians examined van-
ished from their habitats at a rate of
3.7 percent each year. If that rate con-
tinues, some species could disappear
from half of the habitats they currently
occupy in about 20 years, according to
the report.
For those species that are already
threatened, they disappeared at a rate of
11.6 percent each year. If that continues,
those species would vanish from half of
their habitats in about six years.
The evidence has been pretty
strong that declines have occurred, but
it has been hard to make systematic
inferences, Miller said. This paper
quantifies population patterns across
the United States, providing a repre-
sentative picture of what is occurring
with amphibians.
Even in areas where habitats are
protected amphibians showed declines,
which is cause for further concern. That
means whatever is impacting frogs,
toads and salamanders in areas vulner-
able to things like pollution, disease and
poor water quality are also impacting
those very areas that are supposed to be
protected from such threats.
Basically, the study has concluded
that the declines are continuing, they
are serious and we should be concerned.
But exactly what is causing them isnt
known. Could it be pollution, disease,
invasive species or something else?
And could it actually continue to the
point that one day we will no longer
hear the shrill call of the tree frog, the
croak of a bullfrog or the peep of a
spring peeper fill the night air?

taken (township is fine) and any other details
to tvenesky@timesleader.com.
Georgian Ollwerther of Mountain Top noticed
that the above paragraph asks for anything
unique. This photo qualifies. Last July Geor-
gian snapped a photo of her daughter, Vale-
ria Hutnan, who was visiting from Virginia.
It wasnt until she saw the picture that she
noticed the spider in the shot, and thats when
her daughter noticed the arachnid as well.
Too bad I didnt catch her screaming and
running into the house as she is petrified of
spiders, Georgian wrote. Perhaps we should
add before and after as part of the criteria
for this weekly segment.
Caught on camera
Local taxidermist brings home worldly honor
Its a good thing that Frank Kotula
changed his mind.
After years of competing in the
World Taxidermy and Fish Carving
Championship and finishing a second
or third in the world several times,
Kotula was going to take some time off
from the competition.
That was until a friend saw his
brown trout mount.
He won best in the world before,
and he urged me to try it again,
Kotula said.
In early May, when the 2013 cham-
pionship was held in Springfield, IL,
Kotula earned the Best in the World
in the Coldwater Fish category for his
brown trout.
For Kotula, who owns Franks Wild-
life Studio in Wilkes-Barre, the award
was a fitting culmination of years of
hard work. Competing in the Masters
Division, only 11 of the 180 entries
submitted in 18 categories earned the
title Best in the World.
After winning awards at the state
and national levels, being named Best
in the World was a long-sought goal for
Kotula.
Theres nothing higher, he said.
Winning this award proved to me that
Im more than enough qualified and
its the highest honor a taxidermist can
achieve.
Entries are judged on anatomy
and artwork. Kotula, who has been a
professional taxidermist for 11 years,
went through painstaking lengths to
make sure his piece was not only ac-
curate, but different.
When it came to anatomy, Kotula
knew he couldnt use a fish out of wa-
ter as a pattern for his mount - which
is hand-carved. The body shape of a
fish in the water is different than one
that is out, he said, so Kotula spent
countless hours photographing fish in
the aquariums at Cabelas, in Ham-
burg, to make sure he had every detail
perfect.
Hydraulic pressure underwater
changes the shape of the body. It flat-
tens the body out so they can swim
faster, Kotula said. When a fish is out
of water, its more round. For the com-
petition the mount had to look exactly
like a live fish.
That also included proper body posi-
tion and fin placement. Because the
mount is judged on all sides, Kotula
had to hide the seam so it couldnt be
seen by the judges.
And then came the artwork.
The trout is a pedestal mount with
rocks that Kotula bronzed himself. The
spots on the trout - which are exact to
the original, took Kotula 20 hours to
paint, along with a total of 80 hours
painting the rest of the fish.
Oh, and then there was the fact that
Kotula had to run his full-time taxi-
dermy business along with working on
his Best in World entry.
It was a lot of work and the artwork

is always the most challenging,
he said. A lot people that com-
pete in the world show arent
full-time taxidermists. They
work on their pieces for years.
The trout used for the mount
is a 27-inch, 16-pound brown
caught in Pulaski, NY. Kotula
said his customer was elated
that the fish won the Best in
World award.
Using his customers mounts
in competitions is a common
practice for Kotula because it
gives them extra satisfaction to
display an award-winning piece
in their homes.
The brown trout was not only
named Best in World, but in
March Kotula used it to win the
top honors for best fish, coldwa-
ter fish and state champion in
the Pennsylvania competition.
As far as his next entry in the
world championship, Kotula
hasnt thought that far ahead
yet.
Right now, hes content to
cherish his latest honor and
continue to run his thriving
taxidermy business.
Competition has gotten me
to where I am today, Kotula
said.

Millions are
struggling with
medical debt
a picture-perfect deal for Dad awaits at shuttery
MeDiCaL DeBt
continues to weigh
on the shoulders of
consumers.
Last year, 41 per-
cent of adults ages
19 to 64 said they
had problems pay-
ing medical bills or were paying off
medical debt over time, according to
a survey by the Commonwealth Fund.
the fund, a private foundation
that promotes improvements in the
health care system, also reported that
many people surveyed were carrying
substantial medical debt.
twenty-nine percent of those pay-
ing off medical bills said they were
carrying more than $4,000 in debt,
and 16 percent reported $8,000 or
more in medical debt.
What weve seen is an increase
in the percentage and the number
of people who are reporting prob-
lems paying their medical bills, said
sara Collins, vice president of afford-
able health
insurance at
the Common-
wealth Fund.
Gaps in
health insur-
ance, inad-
equate cover-
age and large
medical bills
have left mil-
lions with
medical debt,
Collins said.
the afford-
able Care act,
which goes
into full ef-
fect next year,
has improved
the situation
somewhat, she said. in particular, a
provision that allows adult children
to remain on their parents health in-
surance policies until age 26 has had
an impact.
Whats most notable is the ability
for young adults to come on to their
parents policy, Collins said. What
weve seen in the survey data is the
increase in the number of young
adults who have coverage. that is a
major reversal in terms of the trends
that weve seen among young adults
over time.
Collins said the affordable Care
act will enable uninsured people to
get affordable health coverage and
underinsured people to get more
comprehensive coverage.
a lot of people have really skimpy
plans that dont cover a full range of
benets, Collins said of underin-
sured people. so when they do get
sick, even though they have coverage,
theyre still going to have nancial
difculty paying off those bills.
as for the uninsured, Collins said,
Once they get coverage, theyre obvi-
ously going to have nancial protec-
tion, and theyre not going to be hit
with these catastrophic bills.
Unpaid medical debt is not like other
debt sinceit is oftenbeyondyour control.
Whats more, because many medi-
cal bills are submitted rst to insur-
ance companies, consumers often
dont learn that theyre responsible for
a medical bill until they hear from a
collection agency, by which time their
credit score has already suffered.
Consumers may get some help
from Congress.
the proposed Medical Debt re-
sponsibility act would prohibit credit
bureaus from using paid-off or settled
medical debt collections in determin-
ing a consumers creditworthiness.
the bureaus also would have 45
days from the date the medical debt
collection is paid off or settled to
expunge the collection from the con-
sumers credit report.

ABOUT THE
SURVEY:
The Commonwealth
Funds
Biennial Health
Insurance Survey
was conducted April
26 to Aug. 19, 2012. It
consisted of random
telephone interviews
with 4,432 adults
ages 19 and older in
the U.S. The report
limited the analy-
sis to respondents
ages 19 to 64. The
margin of sampling
error was plus or
minus 2.3 percent-
age points, with a 95
percent condence
level.
Willie Peterson ii cant say enough
good things about the home health
care services he receives, or about
Lynn adams, the registered nurse
who visits a few times a week to care
for him at his Decatur, Ga., home.
if not for them, id be up the creek
without a paddle, he said.
Or in a nursing home. Peterson, 62,
was paralyzed from the waist down
by a falling tree in 1998 and needs
regular skilled medical attention.
Now he has personalized care that
keeps him out of the hospital and
feeling independent.
Peterson is at the front of a coming
wave. Demographics and economics
are expected to combine to cause a
boom in the demand for home health
services in the next two decades. the
industry faces challenges as it seeks
to meet patient needs, however.
according to one projection, the
number of people age 65 and over is
expected to increase to 72 million by
2030 when that group will make up
about one-fth of the population, up
from about 40 million in 2009.
While the supply of customers
should only increase _ generally a
blessing for any business _ the nan-
cial reward for taking care of all those
new patients, particularly those re-
quiring the most care, is uncertain,
according to industry executives.
Providers fret over shrinking re-
imbursement rates from Medicare.
they say thats put nancial pressure
on them. some in the industry say
the number of providers could dwin-
dle and some people who could really
benet from home health services
might not be able to obtain them.
Providers are scratching their
heads, said Mark Oshnock, CeO
of Visiting Nurse health system, an
atlanta-based nonprot and adams
employer. With margins approach-
ing zero, its a bit of a challenge.
in a recent earnings conference
call, tony strange, CeO of Gentiva
health services, an atlanta-based for-
prot provider of home health care,
cited an 11.5 percent reduction in
Medicare reimbursement in the past
three years.
home health care advocates point
to what they see as an irony in ef-
forts to contain medical costs. the
highest-cost care is hospital care: the
more days a patient stays, the higher
the tab.

returns to Luzerne County
P
ittstON tWP. after a four-year absence, Volvo, the swedish luxury automobile
maker, has an established dealership once more in Luzerne County.
the Ken Pollock auto Group began selling the brand april 3 but held an ofcial grand
opening yesterday at its Platinum Certied location along route 315 at Oak street lled
with food, giveaways, music and more. that location had sold suzukis for years until that
Japanese brand pulled out of the United states as part of a bankruptcy reorganization.
By ANDReW M. SeDeR / aseder@timesleader.com
Ken Pollock Volvo on Route 315 in Pittston township held its grand opening Saturday.
VolVo
Pollock converted that location
into a certied pre-owned sales
lot last year before agreeing to
purchase the regions Volvo rights
from Greg santo whose family op-
erated a Volvo dealership in Moosic
for 30 years.
in 2009, santo acquired the
Volvo franchise held since 1975 by
MotorWorld auto Group in Plains
township and its predecessor the
ertley dealerships and consolidat-
ed operations in Moosic.
But now the Volvo brand is back
in Luzerne County and Pollock
auto Group General Manager Gary
Peters said the company and cus-
tomers are excited.
its been very good, very promis-
ing, Peters said, noting that about
30 Volvos have been sold since the
dealership began offering them
less than two months ago.
he said the location is perfect be-
cause it caters to residents of both
Luzerne and Lackawanna counties
and is easily accessible via i-81
and the Pennsylvania turnpike so
those in outlying areas also have a
convenient route.
the Ken Pollock Volvo territory
will stretch from the New york
state line to Columbia County. the
next nearest Volvo new car deal-
erships are in Danville, Nazareth,
east stroudsburg and allentown
and Vestal, N.y.

With home health, the idea is to re-
lease the patient to the home where reg-
ular care can help prevent readmissions.
Outside the industry, though, there is
less concern.
The Medicare Payment Advisory
Commission, in its latest report to Con-
gress, contended that there is sufcient
access to home health care with more
than 12,000 agencies, that the quality
of services is generally good, and that
average provider prot margins are high
enough.
Margins vary widely, according to the
commission, with some negative and
others above 20 percent. The average
in 2011 was 14.8 percent. Smaller agen-
cies didnt fare as well as larger agen-
cies, possibly because of economies of
scale, and nonprots didnt fare as well
overall as for-prot agencies.
That calculation doesnt factor in all
provider costs, however, and net mar-
gins are actually far smaller and declin-
ing, said William Dombi, vice president
for law for the National Association for
Home Care & Hospice. Decreasing re-
imbursements will lead to some provid-
ers going out of business, he said, and
less access to care for some people.
The industry has also faced claims
that some providers overcharge, or
dont provide the services they charge
for.
When its done right, home health
care is seen as good for all parties in-
volved.
Home health is not only cost-effec-
tive, but really helps patients maintain
their independence, said Barbara Bal-
lard, a vice president with WellStar
Health System, which operates Well-
Star Home Care.
Jennifer Schuck, who heads post
acute care initiatives at Atlanta-based
Emory Healthcare, said in an email,
From a hospital perspective, a patients
treatment does not stop after being dis-
charged from the hospital. The home
health agency acts as an extension of the
hospital to ensure the patient continues
to progress in their healing process.
If a patient has problems at home, she
said, the home health agency can notify
the hospital and discharging physician
and get directions on how to treat the
patient there, not the emergency room
or hospital.
Emory Healthcare has had a 5 to 7 per-
cent annual increase in the number of pa-
tients discharged to home health in the
past three years. In 2010, 12.5 percent of
all patients discharged from the hospital
got home health services. That jumped
to 14.6 percent in 2012 and is expected
to top 15 percent this year.
As hospitals move toward account-
able care, they will be compensated
based on patient outcomes, and penal-
ized for swift readmissions.
The plan of care needs to continue
in the community, or you end up with
a readmission, said Barbara Ozmar,
director of patient care coordination at
Piedmont Atlanta Hospital.
Jean Raines has seen enough of hos-
pitals and is glad to be receiving home
health services from WellStar Homec-
are.
Raines, 71, of Woodstock, Ga., has
been in and out of the hospital in re-
cent years after going in for open heart
surgery two and a half years ago, then
breaking her hip in a fall at home in
January and suffering congestive heart
failure in March.
She began receiving home health
care in January, which included physi-
cal therapy, and its been a tremendous
help. Theyre wonderful, she said.
I havent been in the hospital in two
months.

W
hat happens to the 40 per-
cent of food produced but
never eaten in the U.S. each year,
the mounds of perfect fruit passed
over by grocery store shoppers,
the tons of meat and milk left to
expire?
At Ralphs supermarket chain, it
helps keep the power on.
In a sprawling Compton, Calif., distri-
bution center that the company shares
with its fellow Kroger Co. subsidiary
Food 4 Less, organic matter otherwise
destined for a landll is rerouted instead
into the facilitys energy grid. Though
many grocery stores have tried to cut
down on food waste and experiment
with alternative energy, Kroger says its
the rst supermarket company in the
country to do both simultaneously.
The technology that helps transform
moldy chicken and stale bread into clean
electricity is known as an anaerobic di-
gester system. At the 59-acre Compton
site, which serves 359 Southern Cali-
fornia stores, more than 100 onlookers
gathered recently to watch the system
go to work.
Several chest-high trash bins con-
taining a feast of limp wafes, wilting
owers, bruised mangoes and plastic-
wrapped steak sat in an airy space laced
with piping. Stores send food unable to
be donated or sold to the facility, where
it is dumped into a massive grinder _
cardboard and plastic packaging includ-
ed.
After being pulverized, the mass is
sent to a pulping machine, which lters
out inorganic materials such as glass
and metal and mixes in hot wastewater
from a nearby dairy creamery to create
a sludgy substance.
Mike Vriens, Ralphs vice president
of industrial engineering, describes the
goop as a juicy milkshake of trash.
From there, the mulch is piped into a
250,000-gallon staging tank before be-
ing steadily fed into a 2-million-gallon
silo. The contraption essentially func-
tions as a multi-story stomach.
Inside, devoid of oxygen, bacteria
munch away on the liquid refuse, natu-
rally converting it into methane gas.
The gas, which oats to the top of the
tank, is siphoned out to power three on-
site turbine engines.
The 13 million kilowatt-hours of
electricity they produce per year could
power more than 2,000 homes in that
period, according to Kroger.
Excess water from the digester is
pumped out, puried and sent into the
industrial sewer. Leftover sludge be-
comes nutrient-rich organic fertilizer,
enough to nourish 8,000 acres of soil.
The closed-loop system was devel-
oped by Boston startup Feed Resource
Recovery and offsets more than 20 per-
cent of the distribution centers energy
demands _ all without producing any
pungent odors.
The program helps Kroger reduce its
waste by 150 tons a day. The trash oth-
erwise would have been sent away to be
composted, hauled away six times a day
by diesel trucks traveling 500,000 miles
a year.
Kroger wont say exactly how much it
spent on the anaerobic digester but es-
timates that it will offer an 18.5 percent
return on the companys investment.
The project, over its lifetime, could help
the grocer save $110 million. The su-
permarket giant is considering similar
technologies for other Kroger locations
nationwide.
The grocery chains move, some four
years in the making, comes amid heated
debate over the nations food and energy
supply.
In August, the Natural Resources De-
fense Council reported that 40 percent
of food in the U.S. goes uneaten _ the
equivalent of 20 pounds of food per per-
son per month. The waste is shuttled
to landlls, where it contributes to 25
percent of the countrys methane emis-
sions.
Some grocers have tried to cut back
on garbage by putting less food out on
display and even composting leftover
products. Northern California chain
Andronicos Community Market sells
aesthetically marred but still edible pro-
duce at a discount. The Austin, Texas,
store In.gredients says it sends less than
a pound of waste to landlls each month
by offering reusable and compostable
containers in-house.
Other chains try to reduce their en-
vironmental footprint through clean-
electricity projects. Whole Foods Mar-
ket said solar energy helps power some
of its stores. Wal-Mart is testing wind
turbines, installing solar panels and fuel
cells and says three-quarters of its Cali-
fornia facilities use some form of green
energy.
But in recent years, amid high waste-
disposal costs and uncertain energy
prices, anaerobic digesters have gained
favor. The technology has been pro-
posed as a fuel source for data centers,
farms, government buildings and other
sites.
Nick Whitman, president of Feed
Resource Recovery, said Krogers new
anaerobic digester may help encourage
future installations in more urban areas.
Weve had to solve some really criti-
cal problems _ sanitation, efciency and
reliability issues _ that have plagued
anaerobic digestion and prevented its
wider adoption in the U.S., he said at
the Ralphs demonstration.
Weve been able to bring digestion
out of the farms and off the composters
and into cities and industrial centers.

TERRIFIC TUESDAYS
Forget Manic Mondays, stock investors are embracing Tuesdays this year.
Thats because the Dow Jones industrial average has risen every
Tuesday going back to Jan. 8. Thats 20 straight weeks, a streak that
includes May 7 when the Dow closed above 15,000 for the first time.
The longest streak of consecutive gains for any day of the week was set
in 1968, when there were 24 gains on Wednesdays, according to Schaef-
fer's Investment Research.
The Dow is up 15 percent this year and recorded its first gain in May
since 2009.

The company that owns the Empire State Building is a step
closer to going public.
According to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing,
more than 80 percent of shareholders approved a plan to turn
the privately held company into a publicly traded real estate
investment trust.
The plan, spearheaded
by father-and-son real
estate magnates Peter
and Anthony Malkin,
could raise up to $1
billion by selling stock in
a new company. It will be
called Empire State

BANK PROFITS
This year got off to a great start for the nations banks.
FDIC-insured institutions reported net income of $40.3 billion in
the period from January through March. That marks a 16 percent
increase from the
industrys profits in the
first quarter of 2012.
The results also extend
a streak profits have
registered year-over-
year increase for 15
consecutive quarters.
Half of the more
than 7,000 banks in-
cluded in the results
reported an earnings
increase. The percent-
age of unprofitable
banks fell to 8.4 per-
cent. * excludes trading holidays Source: FactSet

Who he is: Chief Investment
Officer and portfolio manager of
Westwood Holdings Group
Outlook:
There are still opportunities to be
found in the market
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
Mark Freeman
Mark Freeman is the chief
investment officer for Westwood
Holdings Group in Dallas.
Hes also a co-manager of the
Westwood Income Opportunity
fund (WHGIX), which carries a
5-star rating from Morningstar.
Westwood manages $15 billion for
institutional clients, such as corpo-
rate pension funds, endowments,
foundations, mutual funds, and
high net worth individuals. As the
market set a string of records in
May he shared his outlook.
The markets been on a run,
wheres your head at in making
sense of how to proceed?
I take a step back and default to
the fundmentals. I think if you can
make a case, which I think is the
case, that the fundamentals are
supported within reason of where
the market is trading, to me thats
how I approach it. The broader
question is ultimately, is risk being
appropriately priced or cleared in
this particular asset class? And
I do that for all asset classes. If
it isnt, then its overvalued or
undervalued in that regard.
So youre still able to find buying
opportunities?
There are still opportunities within
the market. But I would say that
there is this feeling that the sand
is shifting. So everyones trying
to figure out which way its going.
We tend to couch it in terms of
what is the Fed doing in terms of
liquidity? and all of those things.
Id view it more as, if the economy
is moving to more of a sustainable
type of growth path, then there
will be a transition period for
the market. i.e., moving from a
less liquidity driven environment
to what is historically more of
a fundamental-oriented type of
market. Having said that I can
also point you to different areas
of the market that I think are not
attractively priced. Some of those
areas are the comfort areas where
people have moved to.
What are those comfort areas?
Fixed-income, in and of itself, is
one area where I think one has to
obviously take a very hard look
at how theyre positioned and
determine if they really want to be
there.
If you own an asset or a security
that is providing you ultimately with
only income, you need to evaluate
it very closely. Because whether
its a bond or not, its going to
trade like a bond in terms of its
relationship to the movement in
interest rates.
Where else should investors be
cautious?
The other end of the spectrum of
the market is what I refer to as
cheap stocks. If I start seeing
that its the cheap stocks that are
leading the market, or if investors
are talking about I feel like Ive
missed it, whats cheap? Its like
getting to a sale late. I dont think
thats a part of the market that
ultimately is going to work well over
the long run. Buying a cheap stock
is like buying a $1,000 car, you get
what you pay for and neither one is
going to get you where you want to
go.

InsiderQ&A
AP
In the pharmaceutical industry, companies can
spend hundreds of millions of dollars and a decade
or more developing new medicines. A handful of
drugmakers may begin recouping those investments
sooner through a new program designed to speed
drug approvals.
Under a law passed last July, the Food and Drug
Administration can grant
breakthrough status
to experimental drugs
that show promise for
treating life-threatening
diseases. The designation
grants drugmakers more
FDA feedback as they
conduct drug studies and
a potentially streamlined
review process. More than
12 drugs have received
breakthrough status, but
analysts are still trying to gauge the economic value
of the fledgling program.
None of the drugs have been approved for their
potential breakthrough uses. But in some cases the
announcement of the status alone can move stocks.
Biotech drugmaker Pharmacyclics saw its stock
rise nearly 10 percent in February after the FDA
granted the designation to its
experimental drug ibrutinib,
which is being studied for a
rare form of lymphoma.
It looks like this height-
ened communication with the
FDA has the potential to really
accelerate development so
I think people rightly view it as
a win for these companies,
says Patrick Flight, an analyst
with drug consulting firm
Decision Resources.

Early promise
Drugs that show early signs of potential effectiveness may get a faster and cheaper path to FDA approval.
Breakthrough drugs
Merck (MRK) lambrolizumab Advanced melanoma Mid-stage testing $230-$450 mil.

The U.S. economy is still
looking better than other areas of
the world, even though its
recovery is only modest.
European countries are
struggling, the U.K. economy is
flirting with a triple-dip recession
and Chinas economic growth is
slowing. These are the main
reasons why companies that
generate most of their sales in the
U.S. are going better than those
that dont.
Credit Suisse strategists
suggest tightening the focus even
further. This screen shows stocks
that not only get at least half their
revenue from the United States
but also those that depend on
corporate spending for their sales.
Businesses look to be good
customers, as many are sitting on
healthy amounts of cash.

Key Treasury yield at 13-month high
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note

months. It dipped to 2.16 percent Friday morning.
Mortgage rates jumped to their highest levels in a
year. The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage

Name That Company
Incorporated back in 1907, Im
engaged in the manufacturing of
vehicles (and related merchandise) and
also in financial services. Warren Buf-
fett has said that he favors companies
like me that have customers so devoted
that theyll tattoo my name on themselves.
I introduced my Knucklehead back in
1936, with a famous teardrop-shaped gas tank.
My products have been used in many wars, and
law-enforcement and rescue folks use them, too.
My logo is a bar and shield, I have a porcine ticker
symbol, and I rake in more than $5 billion annually.
Evel Knievel was a fan. Who amI?
Know the answer? Send it to us with Foolish Trivia on the top and youll be
entered into a drawing for a nifty prize!
overestimate your own abilities.
Charlie: I think knowing the edge
of your own competency is impor-
tant. If you think you know more
than you do, youre in trouble.
That works particularly well in
matrimony, too.
On whether his charitable dona-
tions affect the company stock:
Warren: I give away 4.75 percent
of my stock every year. Thats $2
billion of stock. Thats less than 1
percent of Berkshire. Many stocks
on the exchanges trade over 100
percent a year. One percent is
absolutely peanuts.
Charlie, joking: Theres nothing
so insignificant as an extra $2 bil-
lion to an old man.
Warren: Ive never given away
a penny that has ever changed my
life it has a lot more utility in the
hands of other people than in my
safe deposit box.
On estate planning:
Warren: I rewrite my will every
five years or so, and I have my chil-
dren read it. They should understand
it, and they should be able to speak
up if they feel something is unfair.

The Motley Fool Take
Dear Deere
Stock in Deere (NYSE: DE)
has averaged annual growth of 14
percent over 30 years, and it seems
to have plenty of room for further
growth. Up more than 20 percent
over the past year, Deere has been
benefiting from strength in the agri-
cultural industry in recent years.
With spring planting pointing
toward a solid season as farmers try
to rebound from a drought-stricken
2012, Deere hopes to sell farmers
the equipment they need to maxi-
mize their crop yields.
It has faced some headwinds from
the slowdown in Chinas growth,
but other developments are
promising. Global harvests
of soybeans are expected by
some to rise to an all-time high,
pushing world crop inventories to
new records, while corn inventories
are seen rising to decade highs, too.
Deere is facing growing compe-
tition from Japanese rival Kubota,
which can benefit from the strong
U.S. dollar that devalues Deeres
international revenue. But Deere
remains compelling in many ways.
Its net profit margin has been
trending up in recent years, as has
its return on invested capital. It
recently paid a 2.2 percent divi-
dend yield, and has been upping
its payout by about 15 percent,
on average, annually over the
past five years. Deere recently
reported better-than-expected
second-quarter earnings, but
management tempered near-term
growth expectations a bit.
Give Deere some consideration.

My Dumbest Investment
18,000 Aches
I owned 18,000 shares of Conseco,
a stable, conservative Indiana-based
insurance company. In 1998, it
bought Green Tree Financial, a com-
mercial lender specializing in mobile
homes. I had not set a stop-limit
order to sell my shares when
they fell to a certain level. I
was not paying attention.
Conseco ended up filing for
bankruptcy protection. I got about
a thousand dollars back, via litiga-
tion. It was a dead loss otherwise.
There were many object lessons:
No corporation is so solid that an
ambitious CEO cannot drag it into
bankruptcy. If its your money, bet-
ter keep a sharp eye on it. Eighteen
thousand shares each one still
hurts. C.G.S., Warrenville, Ill.
The Fool Responds: Consecos
2002 bankruptcy filing was the
third-largest in corporate America
when it happened, trailing just
WorldCom and Enron. Lots of big
mergers have turned out to be regret-
table (remember Time Warner and
AOL?), and CEO egos do contribute
to plenty of corporate blunders.
The Conseco of today is profit-
able again, but thats small consola-
tion to many previous shareholders
who got wiped out, as typically
happens in bankruptcies.

I was founded by two lawyers in Milwaukee in 1948. With a market value
around $4 billion, Im a global workforce solutions company, offering ser-

oversee nearly 3,500 offices in more than 80 countries and territories. I
went public via an initial public offering (IPO) in 1967. Over the years I was

How Many Shares?
Q
Is there a limit to how
many shares of a company
can be bought? J.L.,
Lake Charles, La.
A
Yes, because companies
dont have unlimited shares.
They issue a certain number when
they go public via an initial pub-
lic offering (IPO), and they may
issue more later, via secondary
offerings.
You could buy all the shares
on the market, but by doing so,
your sudden demand for the shares
would drive up the price. (Thats
why major investors dont like
to publicize their trading, and
why they try to buy gradually,
in increments.) Once you own 5
percent of a voting class of shares,
youll need to file a report alert-
ing the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
It can be costly to buy up all
of a company. Xerox, for example,
has about 1.3 billion shares out-
standing, and youd need more
than $10 billion to buy them all.
Remember, too, that a com-
pany may have only a portion of
its value in shares trading publicly.
If a firms founder, for example,
holds 60 percent or 90 percent
of the company, then she still
controls it.
***
Q
I want to invest in the
stock market, but I dont
have a huge pile of money.
Is there some rule of thumb
regarding how much I should
invest when it
costs me $7.99 per trade?
T.C., Canton, Ohio
A
Its good to aim to spend
no more than 2 percent of
your investment on commission
costs. So if youre spending $8
on a trade, you should be investing
at least $400.
Also, if you plan to sell
quickly, you might want to factor
in your $8 selling commission,
upping your minimum to $800.

Wisdom From Omaha
Superinvestors Warren Buffett
and Charlie Munger recently held
forth at their Berkshire Hathaway
annual meeting in Omaha. Here are
some paraphrased nuggets:
On analyzing companies:
Warren: We think of busi-
nesses, not stocks. Over
the years, weve come to
understand certain businesses. We
estimate what the place will look like
in five to 10 years. Sometimes we
dont know; for example, auto com-
panies. Weve watched that industry
for 50 years, but we dont know
what will happen in the future.
Charlie: We can look at (railroad
company) Burlington Northern and
know that it will have a competitive
advantage 15 years from now.
On knowing your limits:
Warren: Stocks will do well over
time. You just need to avoid get-
ting excited while other people
are excited. Dont pretend to be a
professional. If you are an amateur
investor, you have a logical option to
buy broadly into American business
over time (via index funds). Dont

Q.: Whenever my employees
have a complaint about a co-
worker, they ask me to handle
the problem without mention-
ing their name.
If the issue is trivial, I tell
them to talk with the other
party directly, but sometimes
there are policy matters that I
need to address.
Because I did not personally
observe these transgressions,
I always have to explain how I
learned about them. This puts
me in an awkward position,
since the accused co-worker im-
mediately wants to know who
told me. How do I handle this
without breaking any con-
dences?
A: When confronted with
performance issues, employees
frequently try to throw their
manager off track by changing
the subject. Who said that? is
a common diversionary tactic,
typically delivered in a highly
indignant tone, followed by
I have a right to know whos
complaining about me.
In reality, however, the per-
son has absolutely no right to
know who brought the problem
to your attention.
After all, this is a coaching
discussion, not a trial. So you
must quickly deect this diver-
sion and get back to the topic
at hand.
For example: I can under-
stand why you want to nd out
who brought this up. Thats
just human nature. However,
I keep those conversations
condential, just as I keep
certain conversations with you
condential. The real issue here
is the policy violation, not the
person who noticed it.
Having made this denitive
statement, you must return to
your coaching agenda without
further debate. Should this
prove to be difcult, thats
a sure sign that you need to
strengthen your managerial
spine.
Q: The team I lead was
recently given an award in a
companywide meeting. During
the presentation, our groups
accomplishments were never
described at all. We were just
called to the stage, handed the
award, and congratulated by
management. Then we went
back to our seats.
This lack of appreciation was
devastating to my team mem-
bers. After the meeting, one
employee commented that she
felt like an unwanted stepchild.
How can I motivate the group
after such a big letdown?
A: Seriously? Your employees
are devastated after receiving
an award in front of the entire
company? Since you offer no
logical reason for this peculiar
response, I can only conclude
that you are supervising a
bunch of narcissistic whiners.
As the leader of these
malcontents, you need to
understand that managers often
have the power to inuence the
perception of events. Whereas
an immature supervisor might
further damage morale by echo-
ing the groups complaints, a
mature leader would try to lift
their spirits by injecting a dose
of reality.
For example: Even though
our accomplishments werent
specically described in the
meeting, I can assure you that
management is aware of them.
After all, thats why we got the
award!
You should really be proud of
yourselves, because everyone
has been impressed with your
hard work this year.
Carefully consider whether
your own reaction to this event
may have contributed to your
teams unhealthy attitude.
If so, then you should imme-
diately take steps to undo that
damage.

OUR OPINION: FIRST AMENDMENT
Its a good thing
we all have rights
A
T THE Wilkes-Barre
City Council meeting
Thursday night Mayor
Tom Leighton man-
aged to start up the high road
but took a detour to a foot-in-
mouth alley.
During the meeting a frequent
attendee raised concerns about
a banner recently displayed on
Public Square that
reads: Nothing Fails
Like Prayer.
He said he supports
free speech, But that
banner is a shot at the
Christian and Catholic
religions.
Mayor Leightons
response was that
people of faith him-
self, council and the at-
tendee shouldnt be
offended. We live in a
free country; unfortunately ev-
erybody has the rights to what-
ever what they want to say, said
Leighton.
First, prayer is not limited to
Christians or Catholics.
In addition, there is nothing
unfortunate about the freedoms
of our country. Freedom of
speech implies tolerance of op-
posing viewpoints. You cannot
have your freedom without giv-
ing others their share.
The First Amendment pro-
vides for essential rights includ-
ing the free exercise of religion
and the freedom of speech. The
only thing unfortunate
in this case is that an
elected ofcial would
denounce a constitu-
tional right he nds
unpleasant.
So as a friendly re-
minder, here is the text
of the First Amend-
ment to the United
States Constitution:
Congress shall
make no law respect-
ing an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the
press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the Government for a
redress of grievances.
The only thing
unfortunate
in this case is
that an elected
ofcial would
denounce a con-
stitutional right
he nds unpleas-
ant.
qUOTE OF ThE DAY
Scouts, be prepared for a celebration in the future
HoLD YoUr applause.
As milestones go, this
one is disappointing.
It is, at best, half a
milestone. or a down
payment on a milestone.
If you are of a more
cynical bent, you might
even call it an effort to
forestall a milestone.
Whatever you call it, last weeks deci-
sion by the Boy Scouts of America to allow
openly gay Scouts, but not openly gay
Scout leaders, to join, is unlikely to please
or appease either side of the gay rights
struggle. Predictably, that shrinking coterie
of individuals for whom homosexuality and
Satanism are synonymous greeted the deci-
sion with howls of anger and pain. Matt
Barber, an attorney and blogger, accused
the Scouts of having betrayed its own
constituency, mission, oath and law. John
Stemberger, an Eagle Scout and anti-gay
activist, predicted the Scouts will prob-
ably be destroyed by this decision.
For the record, the Girl Scouts have no
policy limiting lesbian involvement. In-
deed, according to its website, Girl Scouts
of the USA has embraced diversity and in-
clusion from the beginning, and it doesnt
seem to have hurt that group any: it has 3.2
million members and recently celebrated
its 101st anniversary. So Stembergers pre-
diction that the boys are doomed for doing
what the girls have done for years seems
nonsensical at best.
But again, there is little reason this
should be celebrated by the rest of us, ei-
ther. The Boy Scouts decision to split the
difference allow gay boys, ban gay men
does not exactly smell of Solomonic
wisdom. rather, it is marked by reasoning
that is cockamamie even if taken on its
own terms.
If, for example, you buy the notion there
is something about male homosexuality
that renders men unt to be leaders, why
doesnt that same aw render boys unt
to be followers? And if you buy the idiotic
canard that every gay male is a pedophile
in waiting, then how you countenance al-
lowing gay teenagers as old as 17 access to
boys as young as 10?
Worse, what kind of message does all of
this send gay boys? Youre acceptable until
you arent?
It is, of course, a mistake to seek logic
here. This isnt about logic, but about a
conservative group doing what conserva-
tive groups always do when social change
comes. Meaning, they bring up the rear,
the caboose on the freedom train lurch-
ing belatedly to where the rest of us have
already been.
It happened with racism, happened with
sexism, happened with anti-Semitism, all
of which conservatism loudly and proudly
embraced long after the rest of us came to
see them as evil and wrong. It is happening
now with homophobia.
The problem for the Scouts and other
conservative groups (paging the GoP!) is
not simply that this change has been deni-
tive (a record 59 percent of all Americans
now nd gay and lesbian relationships
morally acceptable, according to a Gallup
poll). It is not simply that this change has
been swift (12 years ago, only 40 percent
of us approved). No, it is also, maybe even
primarily, that this change has been driven
by young people, a whopping 70 percent of
whom, ages 18 to 29, now believe same-
sex marriage should be legal up an also
whopping 18 percentage points just since
2010.
Hello?
The momentum and trajectory are
unmistakable: Gay rights are the future.
The organization that fails to understand
this sabotages its own future credibility.
So there is little reason to celebrate the
Scouts half-hearted attempt to compro-
mise with change. Might as well attempt to
compromise with a locomotive.
Last weeks decision is a mere way sta-
tion en route to a destination that seems
increasingly inevitable. one day, and it
probably wont be all that long, the Scouts
will concede this. on that day, this absurd
decision will fall and scouting will be open
to all boys and men regardless of sexual
orientation.
That will be a milestone worth clapping
for.

COMMENTARY
LEONARD PI TTS J R.
Recognizing academic achievement is a bright idea
WHEN THE Times
Leaders Best & Brightest
Awards began in 1994 I
confess I wasnt paying a
lot of attention.
My wife and I had a
baby in the house and
another on the way. I was
a feature writer for The Times Leader
and not too involved in decision making
management at that level. Awards for high
school seniors seemed as far away to me as
a full night sleep.
Time passes and here we are. The babies
are grown and so have I. Ive grown to love
the Best & Brightest. The annual special
section was published Saturday in The
Times Leader and Im proud of that issue,
not because it is the biggest or best but
rather, because we tried and succeeded.
Im proud because it is.
During the ownership changes that The
Times Leader has gone through during the
past two years the Best & Brightest could
have fallen through the cracks. It became
a mission of mine to keep it alive. In its
initial years the Best & Brightest was a
publication of award winners. It grew into
an elaborate event at the F.M. Kirby Center
with a video presentation and reception
with scholarships and a car giveaway.
Those elaborate trappings are the things
that fell through the cracks. The basic con-
cept championed 20 years ago by two
high school educators and a former editor
- remains as vital and earnest as a good
education. If we heap praise on high school
athletes then surely great academic effort
deserves a measure of recognition.
What other media outlet in Northeastern
Pennsylvania does this? Print, TV, radio or
online? The Times Leader has done this
for 20 years. I wasnt prepared to let that
go away.
So this year we solicited schools for
nominations of students in 14 categories
and had judges for each category. The sec-
tion published Saturday and I think under
the current ownership of Civitas Media and
the leadership of Walt Lafferty, The Times
Leaders regional Director of Business
Development and General Manager (think
publisher), Best & Brightest will continue
to thrive and engage students and the com-
munity even more. We continue to serve
the community.
I came to understand the importance
of Best & Brightest during the past 12
years as I was asked to judge nominees in
categories, present awards at the events
and had the opportunity to meet the
amazing nominees when they came in for
judging interviews and a session in front
of the video cameras. Those interviews
were spread out over several nights. The
video was created by a crew from WNEP-
TV while a few of us took turns on each
night, sitting just off camera, prompting
the students to talk about school, life and
the future and surprising them with silly
questions or requests for each to sing. The
edited interviews were often a lot of fun
and a big hit on awards night.
Frankly, it was a pleasure even after
a long day of work - to spend a few hours
meeting those amazing young people.
Many students in categories other than
music or performance were surprisingly
good singers. And many students had the
good humor to sing even if they clearly
couldnt. Some students just stood out. In
2010, a few days before her Best & Bright-
est interview I watched Coughlin senior
Shelley Black break the 100 meter hurdle
record at the James Cross Invitational at
Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium. It was
my mistake to expect the athlete to show
up; Black was surprisingly quiet the night
of interviews. In 2008 a quirk in categories
had judges set the hurdle pretty high for
nominees in the Vocational & Technical
Skills. In walked Jeremy Stull of Lake-
Lehman who was talented, motivated
and articulate, and a pleasure to meet. He
impressed the judges: He was the winner.
And as my two children navigated high
school I came to better understand the
challenges a students to day face. I came
to meet a lot of their peers and appreciate
what it takes to get a quality education.
And while Im proud of Best & Brightest,
being named a winner in the event isnt a
nal validation or even the purpose.
Whats important is that the entire com-
munity raise its expectations and recogni-
tion of education. And that none of us
no matter our age or place ever stop
trying to learn or to be better or brighter.

Whats important is that the entire

The scramble for
leverage in Syria
A
NYoNE HEADING
into a high-stakes ne-
gotiation knows that
leverage is key. The
more you have, the better the
deal.
In recent days, Syrian Presi-
dent Bashar Assads allies in
russia and Lebanon have raised
the ante ahead of a possible Ge-
neva peace conference:
The leader of Hezbollah,
the terrorist powerhouse in
Lebanon, sent an infusion of
ghters to defeat the rebels.
Thats a signicant escalation
of Hezbollahs military involve-
ment in Syria. Hezbollahs mili-
tary thrust also creates a seri-
ous threat that Syrias civil war
could spill over its borders into
Lebanon.
Russia, Assads main en-
abler since the Syrian uprising
started more than two years
ago, declared it would deliver
an advanced anti-aircraft mis-
sile defense system to Damas-
cus. The U.S and its allies have
protested that major military
upgrade for Assad. Almost im-
mediately, Israeli ofcials hint-
ed that they might attack the
russian missile shipment. on
Thursday, Syria claimed that
the Assad regime had received
the rst shipment of the russian
missiles, but American ofcials
said there was no evidence of a
delivery.
russias deputy foreign minis-
ter argued that dispatching the
missiles to Syria could restrain
some hotheads. He wasnt talk-
ing about the bloody dictator
Assad, who may have unleashed
chemical weapons in battle. His
comment was aimed at the Eu-
ropean Union, which this week
lifted its arms embargo on Syria.
That allows European countries
to send more lethal weaponry to
Syrian rebel forces. Will they?
Unclear. Some European coun-
tries argued to leave the embar-
go intact.
The rebels want the U.S.
and its allies to impose a no-y
zone, launch air strikes against
strategic government targets
and hand over surface-to-air
missiles so that rebels can hit
Assads aircraft. But a no-y
zone wont y without U.S. mili-
tary might. And the U.S., Britain
and France have been reluctant
to provide heavy arms, fearing
they could fall into unfriendly
hands. President Barack obama
hasnt yet agreed to provide any
lethal weaponry, restricting U.S.
military aid to nonlethal sup-
plies like night-vision goggles.
The EU move will put in-
creased pressure on obama
to arm the rebels. Weve urged
obama to arm carefully vetted
Syrian rebels. So have some of
his most trusted advisers.
We understand obamas re-
luctance. The Syrian insurgents
remain fragmented, unable to
coalesce around a single leader
and a winning strategy. Alarm-
ingly, hard core jihadist groups
are taking a leading role in rebel
forces.
The U.S. and its allies once
thought that Assad only need-
ed a sharp nudge from power.
That the mounting toll of more
than 70,000 deaths many
civilians would topple the
regime. That the rebels would
unite around a leader. That all
those refugee families eeing
their homes and pouring into
Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, and
Iraq would focus the worlds at-
tention on a solution.
But the bloody stalemate
continues. If anything, Assad is
more secure now than in past
months. His army has launched
offensives against rebel strong-
holds. His allies are stepping up
to help. The regimes foes in
Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia
and elsewhere are funneling
arms and money to the rebels.
The stakes are high: A victory
for Assad is a triumph for Iran,
for terrorists across the Middle
East.
The U.S. may wait to see what
happens at the Geneva peace
conference, assuming it is held,
before making more moves to
bolster the rebels. But the con-
ference will be a dud for the U.S.
if Assad and his allies hold all
the leverage.

Writer sees no place
for morning-after pill
W
ell, it has happened. The
morning-after pill (MAP) is
available over the counter.
If taken within 120 hours, the
drugs can prevent pregnancy
resulting from unprotected sex
or contraception failure. This
comes despite the fact that teen-
age birth rates in the US have
declined signicantly over the
past two decades.
Also of note, in a WebMD
article reviewed by Dr. Kimball
Johnson on Aug 5, 2012, it is
possible that Plan B and Plan B
One Step (MAP) prevents im-
plantation of a fertilized egg in
the uterus by altering its lining
-- i.e. cause an abortion.
In addition, MAP does not
protect from sexually transmit-
ted infections or address the
emotional well-being of the
child or the circumstances of
the sexual encounter, which
may include rape. The MAP
being made so easily available
can very well result in these
issues never being addressed as
the possibility of the child not
following up with the physician
is a real one, and that is very
concerning. Is this in the best
interest of a child?
Can a false sense of security
result in the MAP being taken
frequently and are there any
clinical studies on the long-term
effect of such use? If the body
could react to even Plan B/Plan
B One Step with abdominal
pain, headache, vomiting and
menstrual changes with one
dose, what can frequent use do?
How many times do we see
commercials about new and
safe articial contraception
being advertised, only to see
commercials down the road
alerting to the adverse reactions
and physical damage believed
to be caused by the very same
methods?
Help me understand. We are
so careful to provide the best for
our children. We have programs
to prevent or stop smoking,
prevent obesity, encourage
the healthiest eating and now
MAP is readily available, as if
the sexual activity of children
16 and under were inevitable
and without serious enough
consequences that stopping a
pregnancy is the main and most
important goal!
Abstinence has been credited
as one of the reasons for the
decline in teenage birthrates.
What message is having MAP
made available for children over
the counter sending? The mes-
sage to our children should be
clear and consistent, not confus-
ing and mixed.
What is the message you want
your child to hear?

Tax bills require
lawmakers support
H
omeowners and retirees, if
you want school property tax
elimination as much as I do, its
time to get busy.
As many as 10,000 homeown-
ers lose their homes each year
because they cannot afford to
pay their school taxes, and each
year there are around 350,000
homes in foreclosure in Penn-
sylvania.
The Property Tax Indepen-
dence Act has been introduced
in the Pennsylvania House of
Representatives and Senate as
HB 76 & SB 76 by Representa-
tive Jim Cox and Senator Dave
Argall as prime sponsors.
For the past 30 years, the
General Assembly has con-
tinued to offer Pennsylvania
homeowners nothing more than
fraudulent, valueless approaches
to property tax relief. We were
also offered property tax relief
from Casino Gaming Revenue
and the Horse Racing Industry,
which they divided up and to
add insult to injury they used
the table games revenue to bal-
ance the budget.
Now we have the Property
Tax Independence Act HB 76 &
SB 76 sponsored by 68 Repre-
sentatives and 20 Senators. In
Luzerne County we would like
to thank these lawmakers who
are sponsors of these bills. State
Sen. John Yudichak (prime
sponsor), Sen. Lisa Baker, state
Rep. Karen Boback, Rep. Gerald
Muller, Rep. Tarah Toohil. Our
thanks to the Representatives
and Senators who have shown
that they truly care about the
school children and taxpayers of
Pennsylvania.
Unfortunately we have
not been able to have Phyllis
Mundy, Mike Carroll and Eddie
Day Pashinski sign on yet after
presenting them with neuromas
signed petitions from their
constituents; they offer only
excuses that the bill is awed
with ambiguous language.
I urge the public to call these
lawmakers, and request they
support this legislation at once,
or inform them that failure
to stand up for Pennsylvania
homeowners will be at their
own peril, as you will not be
supporting them during their
next re-election.

Obamas Dorothy Doctrine:
Wishing away Gitmo, war
This war,
like all wars,
must end.
Thats what
history advises

Barack
Obama,
May 23
Nice thought. But much as
Obama would like to close his
eyes, click his heels three times
and declare the war on terror
over, war is a two-way street.
Thats what history advises:
Two sides to ght it, two to end
it. By surrender (World War
II), by armistice (Korea and
Vietnam) or when the enemy
simply disappears from the eld
(the Cold War).
Obama says enough is
enough. He doesnt want us on
a perpetual wartime footing.
Well, the Cold War lasted 45
years. The war on terror, 12 so
far. By Obamas calculus, we
should have declared
the Cold War over in
1958 and left Western
Europe, our Pacic
allies, the entire free
world to fend for
itself and consigned
Eastern Europe to end-
less darkness.
John F. Kennedy
summoned the nation
to the burdens of the
long twilight struggle.
Obama, agonizing
publicly about the
awful burdens of com-
mand (which he twice
sought in election),
wants out. For him and for us.
He doesnt just want to revise
and update the September
2001 Authorization for Use of
Military Force, for which many
conservatives have called. He
wants to repeal it.
He admits that the AUMF
establishes the basis both in
domestic and international law
to conduct crucial defensive op-
erations, such as drone strikes.
Why, then, abolish the author-
ity to do what we sometimes
need to do?
Because that will make the
war go away? Persuade our
enemies to retire to their caves?
This is John Lennon, bum-
per-sticker foreign policy
Imagine World Peace. Obama
pretends that the tide of war is
receding. But its demonstrably
not. Its metastasizing to Mali,
to the Algerian desert, to the
North African states falling
under the Muslim Brotherhood,
to Yemen, to the savage civil
war in Syria, now spilling over
into Lebanon and destabilizing
Jordan. Even Sinai, tranquil
for 35 years, is descending into
chaos.
Its not war thats receding.
Its America. Under Obama.
And it is precisely in the power
vacuum left behind that war is
rising. Obama declares Assad
must go. The same wish-as-
policy fecklessness from our
bystander president. Two years
and 70,000 dead later,
Obama keeps repeating the
wish even as the tide of battle
is altered by the new arbiters of
Syrias future Iran, Hezbollah
and Russia. Where does every
party to the Syrian conict go
on bended knee? To Moscow,
as Washington recedes into
irrelevance.
But the ultimate expression
of Obamas Dorothy Doctrine
is Guantanamo. It must close.
Must, mind you.
OK. Lets accept the dubious
proposition that the Yemeni
prisoners could be sent home
without coming back to ght
us. And that others could be
convicted in court and put in
U.S. prisons.
Now the rub. Obama openly
admits that even after we
take these steps one issue will
remain just how to deal with
those Gitmo detainees who we
know have participat-
ed in dangerous plots
or attacks but who
cannot be prosecuted.
Well, yes. Thats al-
ways been the problem
with Gitmo. Its not a
question of geography.
The issue is indenite
detention whether
at Gitmo, a Colo-
rado supermax or St.
Helena.
Cant try em, cant
release em. Having
posed the central ques-
tion, what is Obamas
answer? I am con-
dent that this legacy problem
can be resolved.
Thats it! I kid you not. Hes
had four plus years to think this
one through and he openly
admits hes got no answer.
Because there is none. Hence
the need for Gitmo. Other wars
end, at which point prisoners
are repatriated. But in this war,
the other side has no intention
of surrender or armistice. They
will ght until the caliphate is
established or until jihadism is
as utterly defeated as fascism
and communism. Thats the
reason the only reason
for the detention conundrum.
There is no solution to inde-
nite detention when the detain-
ees are committed to indenite
war.
Obamas fantasies are
twinned. He can no more wish
the detention away than he can
the war.
We were defenseless on 9/11
because, despite bin Ladens
open written declaration of war
in 1996, we pretended for years
that no war against us had even
begun.
Obama would return us to
pre-9/11 defenselessness
casting Islamist terror as a law-
enforcement issue and remov-
ing the legal basis for treating it
as armed conict by pretend-
ing that the war is over.
Its enough to make you
weep.

COMMENTARY
COLUMN NAME
Should the FCC rename the Washington Redskins? No!
WASHINGTON Redskins
owner Daniel Snyder re-
fuses to change the name
of his team. Should we do
it for him? More speci-
cally, should the media
no longer recognize the
ofcial designation? A
former chair of the Federal Communica-
tions Commission recently told me the
answer is yes.
I would like to suggest something to
you: Why dont you in your own job think
about not using the derogatory name that
Mr. Snyder has chosen? Reed Hundt
asked. Why not? Why doesnt it start on a
person-by-person basis? Why dont people
just say, You know what, standards have
changed.
Hundt chaired the FCC from 1993 to
1997 at the behest of President Bill Clin-
ton and is perhaps best known for having
prosecuted claims of indecency against
radios Howard Stern, self-proclaimed King
of All Media. Now Hundts nemesis is the
King of All Redskins.
Snyder has been under increasing pres-
sure to alter a moniker some believe to
be racist. In March, a bill was introduced
in Congress that would cancel the teams
trademark of the term redskin. The bill
was followed by hearings before three
judges on the Trademark Trial and Appeal
Board. While that challenge is ongoing,
Snyder remains unbowed, recently saying:
Well never change the name. Its that
simple. NEVER you can use caps.
Which is why Hundt is suggesting a
different approach, namely that broadcast
journalists take the matter into their own
hands. Through his vision, I see Howard
Eskin reporting, The Eagles lost to Wash-
ington, 21-10. By this logic, maybe Vai
Sikahema will someday announce, The
Flyers defeated Chicago, 3-1. Or imagine
Angelo Cataldi complaining on WIP-FM
about the Nittany Lions but never refer-
encing the Fighting Irish?
Hundt recently wrote in the Washington
Post as if he were FCC chairman again
(only for a day) asking Snyder to change
his teams name so that broadcasters no
longer would have to describe it using a
name they would never use in any other
context.
Cultural standards evolve. Whatever
we might have said decades ago, none
of us now would call a Native American
by the epithet used to describe Snyders
team, Hundt wrote. The FCC clearly
has the authority to investigate whether
broadcasters use of derogatory names to
describe sports teams and players com-
ports with the public interest.
When I spoke to Hundt about his Post
essay, he offered me his alternative ap-
proach, noting that broadcasters have led
in establishing, in both words and shows,
what are suitable standards for our cul-
ture. As an example, he cited changes in
the treatment of African-Americans from
Amos and Andy to The Cosby Show.
So the time has come to take the same
progressive steps toward tolerance and
apply them to Native Americans, he sug-
gested to me. And he thinks the power of
the FCC could be used as leverage to bring
about change.
You know, if I were the FCC chair right
now, I would think very seriously about
having an open meeting with broadcasters
and saying, Mr. Snyder can call the team
whatever he wants, Hundt said. He can
put up a sign on his personal property,
but you all do not have to use derogatory
names in your broadcast. Do you agree?
Just ask them, Do you agree with that?
I disagree and told him so. Regardless of
whether Snyder should change the name,
I am troubled by the idea that the FCC,
by its own subjective denition of what is
offensive, would be able to make that kind
of a pronouncement.
Hundt responded that he was only pro-
posing that the question be asked: I dont
believe that if youre in the government
you arent allowed to ask questions.
But, as I told Hundt, by raising such a
question, the FCC could have a chilling ef-
fect. When the FCC holds broadcast licen-
sure in its hands, a mere inquiry from the
government would change nomenclature.
How long after the FCC asks questions
about the name of Washingtons NFL fran-
chise will it be before similar questions are
raised about WMMR-FMs Pierre Robert
playing a song by the Sex Pistols, or if its
really necessary to reference the opening
of the lm Hangover III by its title?
Besides, in this case, its not at all clear
to me that history demands a rebranding.
In the fall of 2005, Ives Goddard, a
senior linguist at the Smithsonian Institu-
tion, looked at the derivation of redskin
and concluded that Native Americans
themselves developed the term.
This terminology was developed by
Native Americans to label categories of
the new ethnic and political reality they
confronted with the coming of the Euro-
peans, Goddard wrote in the European
Review of Native American Studies after
a seven-month investigation. The actual
origin of the word is entirely benign and
reects more positive aspects of relations
between Indians and whites.
Still, Dan Snyder may someday have a
change of heart.
If and when he does, broadcasters
should follow suit, but not until then.

Obsolete is in the eye of the beholder
At colleges and
universities across the
country, college presi-
dents oftentimes offer
remarks to their graduat-
ing classes. these short
speeches are designed to
provide the new gradu-
ates with some perspec-
tive as they enter a rapidly changing world
and embark on new chapters in their lives.
My message to the 378 students who
waited to receive their under-
graduate and graduate degrees at
Misericordia Universitys spring
commencement was simple:
Being obsolete is in the eye of
the beholder. I told the soon-to-
be graduates and their proud
friends and family members
that Apple, one of our countrys
iconic and most successful com-
panies, had recently declared its
rst iPhone archaic even though
it is only six years old.
In my eyes, that very rst
iPhone is the symbol of todays ever-
changing world. It revolutionized the way
people conducted business and stayed
in touch with each other whether it
was through a simple mobile phone call,
texting, e-mailing or various social media
sites but it also marked the beginning of
less personalization.
It is reassuring, if not downright com-
forting, to know that with the rapidity
of change being so blatantly obvious in
todays world that certain human charac-
teristics remain constant. these are the
building blocks the foundation if you will
of ones life.
At Misericordia University, for example,
we make every effort to help students learn
to lead successful and fullled lives and
careers based upon the tenets of Mercy,
service, Justice and Hospitality that were
established by our founders, the Religious
sisters of Mercy. our graduates use this
underpinning as the basis for how they
lead their lives and make important deci-
sions.
the Misericordia way is seen through
the 158,000 hours of community ser-
vice that was provided to those in need
throughout the world last year, in the
caring approach students and graduates of
the University take in helping people who
are less fortunate, and in searching for the
best in everyone they meet. their concern
for social justice and their belief that all
people should give back to society regard-
less of their current position
or station in life bodes well
for their future and for the
communities they will call
home.
the outcomes of most
college educations are not
wholly dissimilar from
that of Misericordia. But
there is something about a
values-based institution that
helps students combine an
excellent education with
superb career preparation
while honing in students the
passion to serve others. those who know
Misericordia graduates and those of other
excellent catholic colleges in the area
know what I mean.
It is inevitable. change will always take
place and, in a technology-based society
such ours, that change will occur rapidly.
However, the education and the values
gained during your college experiences
should and probably will remain constant
throughout your lives.
It is that value construct that allows
individuals to place the rapid change in
technology, job requirements, civic engage-
ment and lifestyles into perspective. It is
the stuff upon which a life well-lived is
based.
so while the latest iPhone or tablet may
rapidly become obsolete, the abilities one
develops in college and the values one
hones there will serve one well for the rest
of their lives. they will be the lasting and
durable components of a life worth living
and will serve them well for the rest of
their lives.
Michael A. MacDowell is the president of Miseri-
cordia University in Dallas, Pa.

Rental owners cited
for decline in city
H
omeowners of Wilkes-Barre.
how is your neighborhood look-
ing lately? Is your answer anything
like shabby? Are you noticing far
too many rentals and unstable
crime ridden neighborhoods?
Are you becoming immune
to deserted, trashed and rotting
homes or rentals, blaring mu-
sic, heavy stop-and-run visitors,
smashed windows, living room
furniture placed on front porches,
garbage/recyclables piling up,
puppies barking out of second
oor screen-less windows or wan-
dering on busy streets, blankets
being used as window drapes,
smashed doors and lthy condi-
tions, and Wild West shoot out
scenarios?
I am sure that you can add to
the list of what we are witnessing.
Wake up Wilkes-Barre home-
owners because the value of your
home has plummeted. We werent
reared in such turmoil and it is up
to us to better manage our neigh-
borhoods. We have far too many
absentee rentals and deplorable
conditions in many of our neigh-
borhoods. How long are you going
to just sit and watch the decline?
the home you take pride in is
decreasing in value and do you
know that should you desire to
sell your home; the selling price
is based upon sale prices in a
ve mile range. Dont expect to
retrieve your family investment
because that wont happen in
Wilkes-Barre.
so, whom is scooping up our
homes and what local group of
attorneys are performing the deed
transfers and for whom? they
dont give a hoot for your neigh-
borhood because the lawyers and
the Realtors often reside far and
away from you. they are becom-
ing wealthy on the destruction
of our neighborhoods and all for
money.
Many of the rentals in our city
are not owner occupied.
they are rather being used as
cash cow properties and in most
cases are just barely acceptable per
our city code
some Wilkes-Barre properties
should have been condemned
and demolished years ago but the
city needs the taxes so deny-
ing an ongoing rental license or
condemning the property means
lost revenue for the city coffers.
someone has to pay the local fat
city elected and staff salaries and
benets. But, at what cost to sur-
rounding homeowners?
take a walk around your neigh-
borhood or while driving around
our city note the conditions. You
can pretty much determine what
property is a rental and what
property is owner occupied. Most
absentee rental owners wouldnt
even think for one minute about
residing in their own rentals yet;
they rent to others. Most of the
rental property owners that rent
units walk away smirking after
collecting the rent.
If you want to save the value of
your home it is up to you to attend
our city council meetings and ask
the mayor and the city council
members why they are allowing
our city to become a city of rentals
and why more properties havent
been demolished? It is their fault
that many of our city neighbor-
hoods are in such disgusting
conditions.
If you want to save your invest-
ment try to keep your home in the
family and dont sell until you are
sure that you are going to benet
from the sale and not take a seri-
ous hit on the sale price or further
destroy whats left of your once
lovely neighborhood.
greedy and unsavory rental
property investors and Realtors
are salivating for your home for
cheap.
We pay the price for the sale of
properties to the wrong people. I
urge you to hang on to your family
home anyway you can and if need
be transfer ownership to a family
member or sibling with stipula-
tions that it is not to be sold.
As a longtime property owner
I say to you, dont sell. Maintain
your property as well as you can.
We dont need a city of rentals and
we cannot continue to shoulder
the aftermath of unstable neigh-
borhoods.

Tea party, war mongers
deserve our scrutiny
W
hy should the Internal Revenue
service not delve into the tea
party and their ilk? to amass their
wealth they must be doing some-
thing wrong.
As far as congressional investi-
gations are concerned, congress
should nd the responsible people
who sent our citizens off to illegal,
immoral, and senseless wars only
to get maimed, wounded, and
killed.

Pittston home is ready for a family
Story and Photos by Casey Martin
Advertising Projects Writer
This Pittston single family home
on Maple Lane is on 2,657 square feet of
land. It is being listed by Charles Adonizio
with Atlas Realty for $299,000.
The exterior has a majestic
presence with a combination of brick and
white siding that compliment the
surrounding landscapes and perfect lawn.
The living/dining area has
hardwood floors that are now only two
years old. This space allows for two fully
separate uses of this space whether it is
for a formal sit down dinner or time to
rest and relax while reading a book.
Soothing blue walls accent this area.
A sleek, white kitchen is ideal
for hosting meals on the go with a
breakfast bar that can sit four along with
room for a separate table for dining.
There is also a gas stove and dish washer,
as well as a walk in pantry with washer
and dryer set up. Ample counter space is
available with the help of an over-the-
range microwave.
The deck that was added two
years ago is accessed off of the kitchen.
Fiberon, an all-weather resistant material,
was used for the deck to last many years
to come. A set of stairs also leads down
into the backyard and patio underneath.
The living area has high ceilings
done in earthy. This open area is perfect
for a family to use as a play room or space
to get together to bond at the end of the
day. Plenty of wall space is available for
furniture arranging and family
enjoyment.
There is an office on the first
floor off of the foyer immediately to the
right of the front entrance. A
sophisticated, professional work
environment can be achieved from home
with the robust hunter green carpeting
and walls. This room could have multiple
usages.
It is a three bedroom home with
two and a half baths. The master bedroom
has an attached bathroom as well as a
walk in closet. There is more than enough
space for his and her wardrobes.
The backyard has much more to
offer than what it seems from the outside.
The solid white fence offers the privacy of
a green luscious lawn. There is a lower
level deck with an entrance to the
basement and stairs that lead back up to
the upper deck that is attached to the
kitchen. An enclosed and spacious
enough area for pets to be able to run
around and enjoy the outdoors without
fear of them running away is available.
