WILKES-BARRE – An autopsy performed Saturday on the body of Jonathan Balester determined the Kingston Township man was stabbed to death in his home. Balester, 56, of North Lehigh Street, died from multiple stab wounds, said Balester Luzerne County Coroner John Corcoran. He and others involved in the investigation released few details about the death that has been ruled a homicide. Luzerne County District Attorney Jackie Musto Carroll said the investigation is ongoing. State police reported Balester’s body was discovered in his home at 10:38 p.m. on Thursday. Investigators were at the house that night and Friday collecting evidence and interviewing neighbors.

Break out your shorts and sandals – and your day trip planner. With Memorial Day weekend upon us and marking the unofficial start of summer, thoughts turn to favorite festivals and popular warm-weather events in Northeastern Pennsylvania that are just around the corner. The most popular regional events this summer as far as attendance will be NASCAR’s Pocono 500 June 10-12 and the Pennsylvania 500 Aug. 5-7 at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond. As raceway vice president Bob Pleban once said, Pocono Raceway becomes the third largest city in the state on race day. If you’re someone who likes your auto racing closer to home, the Giants Despair Hillclimb might be more your speed. The mile-long race is July 9-10 on East Northampton Street in Laurel Run.

Festival offers fun, baskets and education By JOSEPH DOLINSKY Times Leader Correspondent

CONYNGHAM – In addition to enjoying all the classic perks of summertime church bazaars, picnic-goers at the eighth annual Taming of the Wolf Festival in Conyngham had the opportunity to learn about Lupus and other diseases that affect people on an everyday basis. In between learning, snacking and listening to the entertainment, picnickers were also able to browse the massive collection of gift baskets donated by area companies and individuals alike. These baskets, however, had some extra flair. The festival’s organizer, Cynthia Donlan, cleverly named the nearly 200 baskets with titles such as “Lady Goo Goo Gaa Gaa” - a basket filled with baby items and Thyme Management, a collection of herbs and spices. The festival’s moniker “Taming of the Wolf” is yet another play on words: Lupus being Latin

for wolf, and the typical “butterfly rash” often associated with the disease has been said to resemble the pattern of fur on a wolf’s face. Picnickers may have come for the atmosphere, but they stayed for the healthy living information offered by the many organizations in attendance. “It’s a great event. Picnic food on one end and checkups on the other,” laughed Ray Carroll, a Nanticoke resident who made his way to Conyngham for the second year in a row. Carroll took advantage of a heel scan offered by the Greater Hazleton Health Alliance that tested for osteoporosis. The Luzerne County Lupus Foundation was also on hand to answer questions such as symptoms, definitions and treatment for the disease which often affects the heart, lungs, kidneys, joints and even the nervous system.

Married couples are minority

Census Bureau shows married couples represent 48 percent of all households. By NIGEL DUARA Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — Three mornings a week, when Becky Leung gets ready for work, her boyfriend is just getting home from his overnight job. When her mother drops hints about her twin sister’s marriage, she laughs it off. And when she thinks about getting married herself, she worries first about her career. Leung, 27, cohabits in a Portland, Ore., townhome with her boyfriend but has no plans yet to wed, a reflection of the broader cultural shift in the U.S. away from the traditional definition of what it means to be a household. Data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau shows married couples have found themselves in a new position: They’re no longer the majority. It’s a trend that’s been creeping along for decades, but in the 2010 Census, married couples represent 48 percent of all households. That’s down from 52 percent in the last Census and, for the first time in U.S. history, puts households led by married couples as a plurality.

Philly mob took a hit but stages a comeback Federal grand jury report paints a picture of La Cosa Nostra as alive and well.

By PATRICK WALTERS Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Just a few years ago, federal authorities thought they had the Philadelphia-area mob close to sleeping with the fishes: One boss had turned government informant, his successor was convicted of racketeering and the underworld organization seemed in disarray. But a federal grand jury report unsealed Monday, announcing charges against the top two reputed Philadelphia mobsters and 11 others, paints a picture of La Cosa Nostra as alive and well. Its 70 pages detail an operation that has rebounded and is thriving in some of classic staples of organized crime: sports betting, electronic gambling, coded conversations and violent threats. “Despite the clear history over the past 30 years, there are people still willing to be involved in this type of activity,” said Barry Gross, a former assistant U.S. attorney who helped bring down several city crime bosses. “These allegations seem to be in line with what they’ve always done. ... It continues.” The old-school hallmarks of organized crime are detailed in a report that reads like something straight from the big screen, replete with real-life characters who go by “Uncle Joe,” “Mousie,” “Bent Finger Louie” and “Sheep.” The report outlines a structur-

ed world of bosses and underbosses, where members are “made” or “straightened out” in a ceremony where a knife and gun are displayed, and the potential member must agree to be willing to use either of them to help “our friends.” The guiding rule of this underworld is “omerta,” the code of silence, the grand jurors wrote, and the penalty for violating that code is death. The indictment alleges that reputed mob leader Joseph “Uncle Joe” Ligambi, reputed underboss Joseph “Mousie” Massimino and 11 others engaged in loan sharking and ran illegal gambling businesses involving video poker machines and sports bookmaking. There are no murder charges, but authorities allege the men used threats to kill or harm people to recoup business debts. In April 2002, for example, two of the defendants went to collect “Uncle Joe’s money” and one of

them told the debtor that he was “capable of cracking” the victim if necessary, the grand jurors allege. In another instance a month later, two defendants allegedly told a victim they had repeatedly assaulted another debtor, once with a bat. The indictment paints a picture of a classic world of coded talk, where illegal gambling machines — placed in coffee shops, restaurants and other places — are spoken of as espresso or coffee machines. Reputed mobsters and associates engage in and secret “walk and talks,” the report alleges, having covert conversations on foot to hinder interception. “Organized crime still exists in the Philadelphia area,” George Venizelos, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Philadelphia field division, said at a news conference announcing the charges. “It has not disappeared.”

Denise Sellers returns to area after working at newspapers in Allentown, Easton.

After spending the past six years in a competitive newspaper market in the Lehigh Valley, Denise Sellers has taken a job in another one here in the Wyoming Valley. Sellers, 48, of Macungie, starts Tuesday as the vice president of advertising for the Wilkes-Barre Publishing Co., parent company of The Times Leader, the Weekender, the Sunday Dispatch, Go Lackawanna, The Abington Journal, The Dallas Post, El Mensajero and numerous web-only media sites. Sellers has spent Sellers the past three years as the retail advertising director at the Express-Times in Easton. Prior to that, she was the automotive classified advertising manager at the Morning Call of Allentown. Having grown up in Kingston Township and graduating from Dallas High School in 1981, Sellers said the chance to move back to the area, live closer to her parents and still work at an awardwinning, well-respected newspaper was too hard to pass up. “I like the newspaper business. I have a lot of experience as far as sales management,” she said, noting that, in addition to her six years at newspapers in the Lehigh Valley, she also worked for 15 years at a cellular phone and paging company. She said that working in a competitive newspaper market has prepared her to come to Luzerne County, where there are three daily newspapers and several weeklies. “I’m used to high pressure and competitive environments,” said Sellers, who earned an associates degree in business from Luzerne County Community College in 1983. Her parents, Donald and Ann Marie Gavigan, are retired and still living in Kingston Township. She said being able to move back to this region and be close to them was an added benefit. Sellers and her husband, Sean, have four children: Alexandra, 17, Brittany, 16, Patrick, 15 and Michael, 13. The family is looking to buy a house in the county. “I’m very excited to work at The Times Leader. I’ve read the newspaper my whole life,” Sellers said. “Denise has a proven track record in building solid relationships with advertisers,” said Prashant Shitut, president of Wilkes-Barre Publishing Co. “She knows how to make advertising work for businesses.

WILKES-BARRE – Three parties, two ceremonies, one magnificently decked out horse and enough fireworks to supply a small town for the Fourth of July made for a very special wedding day for Sachi Patel and Benny Anand. Hundreds of members of the Patel and Anand families and their friends took over a block of downtown Wilkes-Barre to celebrate the couple’s marriage at Genetti’s, which included an hour-long procession where the groom’s family and friends led him to his bride. Traffic was redirected away from Pennsylvania Avenue and Market Street near Genetti’s so Benny Anand could ride Daniel, a 9-year-old white gelding, amidst a crowd of cheering, dancing family and friends.

On Saturday, Decker and approximately 70 others traveled by bus from her home in Nicholson to Riverfront Park to hold a candlelit vigSee MISSING, Page 6A

Fire cause investigated Fire late Friday night heavily damaged a trailer home on Donato Drive in Ashley Park . The unidentified owner was not home when the fire was reported around 11 p.m., said Ashley Police Sgt. Joe McGlynn. She had stepped out to go to a convenience store to buy milk and cigarettes, he said. “At this point the fire doesn’t seem suspicious,” said McGlynn, adding that he will ask a state police fire marshal to investigate the cause. McGlynn said the trailer was engulfed in flames when he arrived to investigate a reported porch fire. Firefighters from Ashley and Hanover and Wilkes-Barre townships responded and knocked down the flames in 10 to 15 minutes, he said. FOSTER TWP.

Man accused of assault State police arrested Joshua Michael Tomei, 28, of Grantville, Friday on charges of assault and making threats after he allegedly put a knife to a woman and ordered her to ingest bath salts. State police said Tomei and Lindsey Marie Mellinger, 22, of Grantville were using bath salts together on Crescent Road near the intersection with State Route 940 Friday. At approximately 11:30 a.m., Tomei placed a hunting knife with a 6-inch blade against Mellinger’s side and told her to ingest the rest of the bath salts or he would kill her, state police said. Mellinger jumped away from the knife, began screaming for help and was noticed by a passerby, state police said. Tomei was arraigned Friday before District Judge Gerald Feissner, Freeland, on aggravated assault, simple assault and terroristic threats charges. He is being held at Luzerne County Correctional Facility in lieu of $25,000 straight bail. A preliminary hearing has been set for June 6 at 8 a.m.

Death toll rises, searches go on

Late surrealist’s work lives on

People walk past a sculpture by British-born Mexican surreal artist Leonora Carrington outside Bellas Artes palace in Mexico City on Saturday. Carrington, considered one of the last of the original surrealists, died late Wednesday. She was 94.

JOPLIN, Mo. — An official in Joplin, Mo., says the death toll from a massive tornado has risen to at least 142 people. Joplin City Manager Mark Rohr released the updated total during a news conference Saturday. The state has been working to pare down the list of people missing and unaccounted for in the wake of the deadliest single U.S. twister in more than six decades. It said Saturday that the original list of 232 missing or unaccounted for residents had dropped to 100. Numbers describing last Sunday’s storm are nothing short of numbing. The tornado — an EF5 monster packing 200 mph winds — was the deadliest

since 1950 and more than 900 people were injured. Friends and family paid tribute to victims of the Joplin tornado on Friday, beginning the grim task of burying the dead. The original list of 232 missing or unaccounted for residents had dropped to 156 by Friday, Missouri Department of Public Safety deputy director Andrea Spillars said, adding that at least 90 people on the initial list had been located alive. But others were identified as among the dead, and some new names had been added to the scroll of the missing. Authorities had cautioned for days that while they believed many on the list were alive and safe, others likely had been killed. City manager Mark Rohr said that there may be “significant overlap” between the confirmed dead and the remainder of the missing list. Still, search and rescue crews were undeterred, with

600 volunteers and 50 dog teams out again across the city. “We’re going to be in a search and rescue mode until we remove the last piece of debris,” Rohr said. At least 19 bodies have been released

to relatives, Spillars said, a small fraction of the overall count. Identification has been slow because officials have taken extra precautions since a woman misidentified one victim as her son in the chaotic hours after the tornado hit.

President completes tour

Barack Obama wrapped up P resident a European tour Saturday that amounted to a roving pep rally for the spread of democracy tempered by debts at home that might make it difficult to pay for much more than talk. His four-country, six-day trek was designed to showcase the appeal of self-government, from a celebration of time-tested freedom in England, to a pledge from the U.S. and its allies to help fledgling democracies in North Africa, to a reassurance that the U.S. stands with Poland and sees its overthrow of Soviet oppression as a beacon to the world.

Soldiers to help with flood Gov. Brian Schweitzer has deployed Montana National Guard soldiers to the Crow Reservation as residents deal with major flooding. The order to send 50 guardsmen to the reservation Saturday came a day after the governor toured the area and other parts of the state. Crow Tribe officials earlier in the week requested National Guard aid after heavy rainfall put much of the reservation under water and left residents stranded. A spokesman for the Montana National Guard says soldiers will provide unarmed security checkpoints to assist Crow personnel. TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS

Former leader returns Former President Manuel Zelaya returned from exile on Saturday, ending a nearly two-year political crisis caused by his ouster in a militarybacked coup that led to Honduras’ international isolation. Zelaya’s flight from neighboring Nicaragua landed at Tegucigalpa’s international airport, where thousands of his supporters had set up a tent camp nearby, dancing and singing to celebrate his arrival. He was accompanied by his wife Xiomara Castro, two of his daughters, several former officials in his government and the foreign ministers of Venezuela and Bolivia. Zelaya’s comeback paves the way for Honduras to re-enter the world community, which near-unanimously rejected the June 2009 coup that saw him whisked out of the Central American country at gunpoint in his pajamas. The Organization of American States is scheduled to meet shortly to formalize Honduras reintegration into the body as a full member. SANAA, YEMEN

Pact to end gunbattles Yemen’s embattled president and the country’s most powerful tribal leader agreed Saturday to end five days of gunbattles that killed 124 people and pushed the country’s political crisis closer to civil war. The fighting between forces loyal to both men made the past week the deadliest since mass street protests for an end to President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s 33-year rule broke out three months ago. Although it could prevent bloodshed, the agreement will do little to solve the wider crisis, with Saleh rejecting efforts to negotiate his exit. The week’s battles began when Saleh’s security forces attacked the home of Sheik Sadeq al-Ahmar, head of the powerful Hasid tribal confederation and an uneasy ally who abandoned the president and joined his opponents.

Gay unions face new challenges

Rhode Island ponders proposal to allow civil unions while Minnesota same-sex marriage ban on ballot. By DAVID KLEPPER Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A flurry of activity in efforts to legally recognize gay relationships or ban same-sex marriage is reminding advocates that even though polls indicate growing acceptance, the debate is far from settled. Rhode Island is pondering a proposal to allow civil unions, a compromise that

arose after it became clear there weren’t enough votes to aim for marriage. Minnesota lawmakers voted to put a constitutional marriage ban on the ballot, and the mayor of New York spoke out strongly in favor of same-sex marriage as talks continue in his state. In Rhode Island, gay marriage advocates say they’re unsatisfied with the proposal to offer civil unions, which provide many of the same legal benefits of marriage without calling it that. “There’s a special status when you say ‘my wife,’ and civil unions don’t give that,” said Annie Cronin-Silva, of West Warwick, who married a woman in neigh-

KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide bomber wearing a police uniform blew himself up inside a heavily-guarded compound Saturday as top Afghan and international officials left a meeting, killing two senior Afghan police commanders and wounding the German general who commands coalition troops in northern Afghanistan. Two German soldiers and two other Afghans were killed in the blast, the latest in an insurgent spring offensive. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which occurred about a month before a drawdown of U.S. troops begins this summer. The bomber detonated his explosives-laden vest inside the governor’s complex in Takhar province, where high-ranking Afghan officials were meeting with members of the international coalition, said Faiz Mohammad Tawhedi, a spokesman for the governor. “What we know is the guy who carried out the attack had a police uniform on,” Tawhedi said. “How he entered the meeting room and why he was not searched, we don’t know.” Two German troops were killed and two others were wounded in the blast.

Egypt reopens border with Gaza By IBRAHIM BARZAK Associated Press

RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Egypt lifted a 4-year-old blockade of the Gaza Strip on Saturday, greatly easing travel restrictions on the 1.5 million residents of the Palestinian territory in a move that bolstered the Hamas government while dealing a setback to Israel’s attempts to isolate the militant

group. The sense of relief was palpable as buses piled high with luggage crossed the Rafah border terminal and hundreds of people traveled abroad for overdue medical appointments, business dealings and family affairs. In Israel, fears were heightened that militants and weapons will soon pour into the territory. “I was so happy to hear that the Egyptian border is opening

so I can finally travel for treatment,” said Mohammad Zoarob, a 66-year-old suffering from chronic kidney disease.

graduating from West Scranton High School. He went on to study finance at The University of Scranton. It was during his university studies he felt called to the priesthood. “I came to realize that I was being called to service and that it was going to be in a very particular way,” he said. “The call was to ministerial priesthood in the church.” Loughney began his path of service at St. Pius X in Dalton, and was appointed to continue his preparation for the priesthood as a seminarian at the North American College in Rome, where he earned a degree in sacred theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University. He was appointed Saturday to serve as assistant pastor of St. Mary of the Mount Church in Mount Pocono, where he has served for the past year. Loughney invited volunteers he worked with at the kitchen to attend his Ordination Mass. About 25 of them traveled by charter bus from the kitchen to

the cathedral Friday morning. “I’ve waited a while to see this,” said volunteer Jackie McCabe, of Wilkes-Barre, before getting on the bus. “I couldn’t pass it up.” Volunteers from the kitchen remembered Loughney as a hard worker with a kind-hearted demeanor that made him approachable for the kitchen’s clients. “He would do anything,” said Ann Marie McCawley, director of the kitchen. “He would go in the dish room and wash dishes and do pots and clean up. He never questioned anything; he saw something he needed to do and he did it.” “He wasn’t forward; he wasn’t evangelistic,” she continued. “He was very kind and if anybody had any problems, they felt comfortable talking to him.” “It’s just wonderful when you’re volunteering to be with people who are cheerful,” said volunteer Florence Milazzo Lombardo, of West Pittston. “You like doing your job, but that just makes it all the more wonderful.” “I’ll miss him,” she added, “but maybe he’ll come back with his parishioners to volunteer.”

The priest presided at one of the two wedding ceremonies held Saturday. “Sachi and Benny were born and raised here,” said Patel, who immigrated to the United States with his wife in 1980. “But the families are from two different states in India, two different cultures, so we have two different weddings.” The weekend started with a customary pre-wedding party on Friday night. On Saturday morning, there was the Punjabi wedding, which included a Pallah Ceremony where Patel gave away his daughter by taking one end of the groom’s scarf and handing it to the bride. The ceremony also includes the Chaar Lavan, four wedding vows that address the four stages of spirituality the couple must undergo for a blissful union before God. After Benny’s joyous procession, there was a second ceremo-

ny, a traditional Hindu ceremony common in the Dujrat area where the bride’s family originates. This ceremony began after the wedding procession and included ceremonies symbolizing the bride’s family indicated their acceptance of Benny as their daughter’s husband and his promise to take care of their daughter. A white cotton rope draped over the couple’s shoulders represented how the intertwined virtues of the bride and groom will combine for a strong relationship, and a sacred necklace and rings symbolized their newly married state. “It’s a happy moment but a sad one, too, because you’re giving away part of your heart,” said Patel about his daughter’s wedding.

“But you are happy to celebrate your happiness with others, and we are delighted to be able to share our culture with our neighbors in the community.” Many passersby did stop to enjoy the happy procession around Genetti’s, including several who have seen Indian weddings before. “I think it’s awesome,” said John McLaughlin, a Philadelphia resident who was in town for a college graduation. “I was just at one in Bucks County, but it’s different to see it here. It’s cool.” Kim Brown said she’s seen weddings during visits to India, but didn’t expect to see one in downtown Wilkes-Barre. “It’s beautiful,” said the Blakeslee resident. “Look at the saris – they are gorgeous!” Wilkes-Barre resident Matt Feehan used his cell phone to snap pictures of his first Indian wedding. “It’s a very interesting view of a different culture. It’s nice to see Wilkes-Barre opening up their arms a bit and letting something like this happen,” Feehan said. “I’m on my way to work and I had to stop and check it out – especially with this great music!”

Fracking review ordered ALBANY, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration has ordered an expanded environmental review of proposed “hydrofracking” for natural gas in New York after an accident in Pennsylvania caused a well to gush salty, chemically-tainted water for two days. An internal memo obtained by The Associated Press directs the state Department of Environmental Conservation to review and learn any lessons from the April mishap in Pennsylvania’s Bradford County. The memo dated Friday said the “blowout” raised issues about the controversial technology that need to be evaluated before New York decides whether to allow a major expansion of the potentially lucrative gas-extraction method, which has been assailed by some environmentalists as unsafe. The memo was from Cuomo’s director of state operations, Howard Glaser, to Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joseph Martens,

The April 19 accident in Pennsylvania briefly caused a handful of families living near the well to flee their homes as thousands of gallons of brine flooded across farm fields. a Cuomo appointee. The April 19 accident in Pennsylvania briefly caused a handful of families living near the well to flee their homes as thousands of gallons of brine flooded across farm fields and entered a stream. Well cappers from Houston had to pump ground-up tires, plastic bits and other rubber material into the well to temporarily seal it. Well operator Chesapeake Energy said the environmental damage from the spill was minimal, but temporarily suspended operations to investigate what went wrong. New York’s review will include an on-site inspection by New York officials. The findings will be part of New York’s environmental eval-

uation of using hydraulic fracturing to release natural gas from the Marcellus Shale deposit through much of New York’s Southern Tier. The final report is due July 1. The gas drilling boom has been an economic engine in Pennsylvania, but it has been delayed in New York for the past three years as environmental groups have assailed hydraulic fracturing as a potential hazard to drinking water. “Fracking” involves shooting huge volumes of water, laced with much smaller amounts of chemicals and sand, thousands of feet underground to release trapped gas. Some of the water then returns to the surface, tainted by substances like barium and salt that it picks up underground. By law, this wastewater must be disposed of deep containment wells or treated before it is released back into the environment. Industry groups say the process is well regulated and safe. The Independent Oil & Gas Association of New York had asked Cuomo to expedite the state’s review of fracking and allow permitting for gas exploration to proceed.

Musician Gil Scott-Heron dies in NYC He is credited for starting rap music by fusing percussion, politics and poetry. By CRISTIAN SALAZAR Associated Press

NEW YORK — Musician Gil Scott-Heron, who helped lay the groundwork for rap by fusing minimalistic percussion, political expression and spoken-word poetry on songs such as “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” but saw his brilliance undermined by a yearslong drug addiction, has died at age 62. A friend, Doris C. Nolan, who answered the telephone listed for his Manhattan recording company, said he died Friday afternoon at St. Luke’s Hospital after becoming sick upon returning from a trip to Europe. “We’re all sort of shattered,” she said. Scott-Heron was known for work that reflected the fury of black America in the post-civil rights era and also spoke to the social and political disparities in the country. His songs often had incendiary titles — “Home is Where the Hatred Is” or “Whitey on the Moon” — and through spoken word and song he tapped the frustration of the masses. Yet much of his life also was defined by his battle with crack cocaine, which led to time in jail. In a 2008 interview with New York magazine, he said he had been living with HIV for years, but he still continued to perform and put out

music; his last album, which came out this year, was a collaboration with artist Jamie xx, “We’re Still Here,” a reworking of Scott-Heron’s acclaimed “I’m New Here,” which was released in 2010. He also was still smoking crack, as detailed in a New Yorker article last year. “Ten to fifteen minutes of this, I don’t have pain,” he said. “I could have had an operation a few years ago, but there was an 8 percent chance of paralysis. I tried the painkillers, but after a couple of weeks I felt like a piece of furniture. It makes you feel like you don’t want to do anything. This I can quit anytime I’m ready.” Scott-Heron’s influence on rap was such that he sometimes was referred to as the Godfather of Rap, a title he rejected. “If there was any individual initiative that I was responsible for it might have been that there was music in certain poems of mine, with complete progression and repeating ‘hooks,’ which made them more like songs than just recitations with percussion,” he wrote in the introduction to his 1990 collection of poems, “Now and Then.” He referred to his signature mix of percussion, politics and performed poetry as bluesology or Third World music. But then he said it was simply “black music or black American music.” “Because black Americans are now a tremendously diverse essence of all the places we’ve come from and the music and rhythms we brought with us,” he wrote. Nevertheless, his influence on generations of rappers has been demonstrated through sampling

of his recordings by artists, including Kanye West, who closes out the last track of his latest album with a long excerpt of ScottHeron’s “Who Will Survive in America.” Politically outspoken rapper Michael Franti said in a statement Saturday that Scott-Heron’s talent was his ability to “make us think about the world in a different way, laugh hysterically about the ironies of American culture, anger at the hypocrisy ofourpolitical system, all to a beat that kept us on the dance floor, with a voice and flow that kept you waiting with anticipation for the next phrase.” Scott-Heron recorded the song that would make him famous, “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” which critiqued mass media, for the album “125th and Lenox” in Harlem in the1970s. He followed up that recording with more than a dozen albums, initially collaborating with musician Brian Jackson.

Will that happen? “It’s hard to say,” Harley said. “Next year may be a very difficult budget year as well. We’ve got to get our spending under control, and there’s a lot of economic challenges the state is still facing for next year.” The window to pass politically sensitive legislation will not be open for very long. If school vouchers or a Marcellus Shale extraction tax don’t pass this year, leaders may be reluctant to take them up in fall 2012. Reed said House Republicans want to make difficult and unpopular decisions while there is time for the policies to yield positive results such as lower unemployment or a budget surplus that could restore education funding. “Folks may look back six months or a year from now and say, ‘Thank goodness folks made those decisions, because we’re better off for it today,”’ Reed said. “I didn’t spend two years helping to run our campaign committee just to win on Nov. 2. I spent that time because I was interested in helping our state by governing responsibly.”

publicans. He was also an active member of Grace Episcopal Church, an enthusiastic golfer, an avid guitar player and the life of many parties. The Rev. John F. Hartman of Grace Episcopal Church, Forty Fort, quoted Flack’s wife, Kathi Stine Flack, Saturday when he described Rusty as “the glue who kept so many of his lifelong friends together.” Those friends packed the pews of the Church of Christ Uniting in Kingston for the service and, after the seats filled, they stood in “He taught the aisles, the vestibule and us all how the choir loft. to hope, he All told, the numtaught us crowd bered around to love, he 500.

Tom Marino said his acquaintance with Flack was much shorter, but nonetheless powerful. The two became acquainted in 2010, Marino said, but it didn’t take him long to realize he had made a lifelong friend. “Rusty is, without a doubt, the kindest, gentlest, most caring person I have ever known,” Marino said. Stephen Alinikoff, a local insurance executive and former instructor at Wyoming Seminary, first met Flack in his classroom in 1968. Alinikoff was then the teacher and Flack the student, but over the years Alinikoff said those roles were reversed. “I’ve learned more from Rusty than I ever taught him… he was my greatest teacher,” Alinikoff said. “He taught us all how to hope, he taught us to love, he taught us how to win

Dozens gather at Vietnam Veterans Memorial to remember loved ones.

WILKES-BARRE – To this day, Alice Naylis waits for an ending. The Edwardsville woman remembers the day her younger brother, U.S. Navy pilot Lt. Bernard Rupinski of Edwardsville, was shot down over North Vietnam. It was June 16, 1968. His remains have not been recovered. A cross next to Rupinski’s name on the Luzerne County Vietnam Veterans Memorial indicates he is listed as missing in action. Naylis and a dozen other people gathered at the memorial on the courthouse lawn Saturday afternoon to honor the deceased men and women and MIAs of all wars. Across the country this weekend and on the official holiday Monday, the solemn act will be repeated in private and public gatherings in observance of Memorial Day. “You still have hope that you get something final,” said Naylis, who brought a white candle to light and place on the memorial monument. “You never lose hope and you never stop missing them.” Those who made up the small group have gotten to know one another from attending memorial services and share a common bond as veterans and family of service men and women. U.S. Air Force retired Master Sgt. Neno Sartini knows the group members by name. “We come here for a purpose. That’s to honor our fallen brothers and sisters,” said Sartini, one of the people responsible for building the memorial. Those who wore hats removed them as John Larkin, a U.S. Navy veteran who patrolled Mekong Delta in South Vietnam, offered a short prayer. A member of American Legion Post 395 in Kingston, Larkin

asked those in attendance to remember the men and women who served in the military as well as those still serving. Still on Betty Allabaugh’s mind and in her heart is her older brother, Maj. Wayne Wolfkeil, a U.S. Air Force pilot from WilkesBarre whose aircraft was shot down in Laos on Aug., 6, 1968. The U.S. declared him dead 11 years after he went missing. Dur-

ing that time, he was promoted to the rank of colonel, according to P.O.W. Network. However, he is still listed as MIA on the county memorial. “I know the search team came back with a serial number from something,” said Allabaugh of Hanover Township. Like Naylis, Allabaugh holds on to hope for something that will bring an end to years of waiting.

WASHINGTON — The still unsettled race for the Republican nomination to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012 is getting more interesting. After months of resisting calls to join the contest, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Friday he would consider it. That could reshape the GOP field, adding a sitting governor who has never lost an election. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin also sent a jolt through the party with the announcement of a campaign-style bus tour along theEastCoast,thelatestpossible contender to stand up since Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels announced last weekend that he would not run. And former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is heading to New Hampshire next week, further stirring speculation that he will jump into the still-gelling field. Perry, the longest serving governor in Texas history, would bring conservative bona fides, a proven fundraising record and a fresh voice. Even as Perry’s closest advisers say he has no intention of getting in the race, he has methodically raised his profile, fanning interest. “I’m going to think about it,” Perry said Friday. “I think about a lot of things.” That was enough to set off speculation he would jump into a campaign that lacks a clear frontrunner. Social conservatives are stillshoppingforacandidate.Tea party activists want one of their own. Establishment Republicans remain divided on a choice.

Dragon boats compete in the eighth annual Philadelphia Dragon Boat races. The field of 154 teams included aging rockers, doctors, homeless men and college students.

dragon boat racing exhibition. Dragon boats, about 40 feet long, seat 20 paddlers, twoabreast, plus a drummer seated near the bow and a steersman who stands at the stern. The drummer sets the rhythm to keep the rowing synchronized. “Anyone can do it. You do not necessarily have to be an athlete to do it,” Maday said. When Maday saw a dragon boat racing video a couple years ago, he immediately thought it would be a hit at Riverfest. He tried to arrange an event last year, but only one boat was available and the expense wouldn’t have been worth the results. This year, Calgary-based 22Dragons is supplying two dragon boats that eight teams will take turns using to compete in short races beginning at 10 a.m. on Riverfest Sunday. The boats will be on display on Friday evening and teams will have practice time Saturday afternoon. If there’s enough interest, Maday wants to organize a dragon

boat festival, similar to events in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Providence, R.I., and Burlington, Vt. It’s a great team-building experience, he said. Eight Riverfest sponsors were invited to form teams and compete in the exhibition, including GUARD Insurance Group, Pennsylvania American Water, PNC Bank, the City of WilkesBarre, Luzerne County, Entercomm Communications, The Times Leader and presenting sponsor Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. Elaine Sola, assistant vice president of Regulatory Compliance at GUARD, said she’s looking forward to paddling. “We have a full team ready to go. We talked about getting out on the water and practicing the rowing motion, but we don’t have a big enough boat. We have two people who do this recreationally, so I’m hoping they’ll give us some tips,” Sola said. Sola hopes to see WilkesBarre become a stop on the dragon boating circuit. “I think it would help increase tourism,” she said. Susan Turcmanovich, external affairs manager for Pennsylvania American, said the water company’s team has “a great

mix of employees and family members. They were a little nervous, but they are on board, literally. And we have an advantage – water is our thing,” she joked. Turcmanovich said she expects everyone “to have a great time, win or lose,” and whether on the river or in the park, given the variety of fun activities all weekend long. Vince Cotrone, chairman of the Riverfront Parks Committee, said he hopes many families will spend their Father’s Day weekend at Riverfest, given the numerous children’s activities all weekend, including pony rides, a tree climb and some animals from the Lands at Hillside Farms to name a few. River-related activities and educational kiosks will be a major focus of the event, the purpose of which is to reconnect people with the river, he said.

challenges such as the “Devil’s Elbow,” a sharply rising hairpin turn that goes off camber at its crest, according to the Pennsylvania Hill Climb Association. Despite the tricky terrain, the skilled drivers rarely crash. But if it’s crunching metal you want, then it’s crunching metal you shall have on June 25, the next-to-last day of the Northeast Fair in Pittston Township. That’s when the Championship Demolition Derby starts at 7 p.m. The country fair, which runs June 21-26, boasts baking and other contests such as Fair Queen, amusement rides and games. Returning favorites include pig racing and a hypnosis/ comedy show. Concerts include a Dakota reunion, an Elvis Presley tribute show, a Billy Joel and Elton John tribute show, Cabinet, Miz and Stanky and His Cadets. Other big-hit fairs in the area this summer include the Kiwanis Wyoming County Fair in Meshoppen Aug. 31-Sept. 5 and the Luzerne County Fair in Lehman Township Sept. 7-11.

garage on his property. Balester also was a businessman, having a minority interest in Balester Optical, a family business in Wilkes-Barre. In addition, he owned ABBA Advertising Products. He was active in the Luzerne County Republican Party, serving as the Club GOP chairman.

Heavy hitter Big acts in Wyoming County include comedian Gallagher and his sledgehammer, Katie Armiger with amRadio and a trio performance from Aaron Tippin, Joe Diffie and Sammy Kershaw. Concerts at the Luzerne County Fair include Alan Jackson, Kenny Rodgers and Elvis Presley tributes, Rick K and the All Nighters, Blues Brotherhood, NOMAD and The Badlees.

For blues lovers, the biggest event in the county will be July 8-9 at the Briggs Farm Blues Festival in Nescopeck Township. Terry “Harmonica” Bean, the main stage opening act on July 8, is among the returning favorites. Chainsaw DuPont and Andrew Jr. Boy Jones are among new faces that will grace the stage. Eddie Shaw, this year’s winner of “Best Instrumentalist – Horn” at the Blues Music Awards in Memphis, and the Wolf Gang will be the headlining act on July 9. Folks who love to spice it up in a farm setting will surely return to the Keystone State Hot and Stinky Garlic & Herb Festival at Zanolini Nursery in Drums on Aug. 27-28. The nagging question of who can stomach the hottest garlic out there will be answered in the annual garlic-eating contest. Tasty outings Other fun, tasty battles can be found at street fairs in the county’s second- and third-largest cities. If ethnic yummies, games, entertainment and a parade tickle your fancy, hit the Pittston Tomato Festival on Aug. 18-21 along with the other 50,000 expected guests. And don’t miss the Tomato Fights that Saturday. The Pierogie Slapshot Contest at Hazleton’s Funfest, which runs Sept. 10-11, is almost as much fun and not nearly as messy. But the Pierogie Eating Contest is much more delicious. That street fair also boasts ethnic food, crafts, games, contests, entertainment and a parade. The Poets are one of the featured entertainers at Funfest, but other acts for that fair and acts at the Tomato Festival haven’t yet

been announced. All that street fair food is great, but The Wine Festival at Sno Cove in Moosic on June 4 and the Pennsylvania Wine & Food Festival at Split Rock Resort in Lake Harmony on June 18-19 are two big draws that might appeal to those with a distinguishing palate. For those who like a little history in the summertime mix, Patch Town Days at Eckley Miners Village in Foster Township are June 18-19. Visitors can celebrate the customs and traditions of the anthracite coal region through music, dancing, food, living history presentations, artisans, crafters and other period activities. Another event to celebrate in June is National Rivers Month. And what better way to celebrate than at Wyoming Valley Riverfest June 17-19 on the River Common and Kirby Park in WilkesBarre? In addition to enjoying live entertainment and festival foods, you can learn to kayak, go fishing, watch your children play games and see this year’s newest attraction, dragon boat racing. Musical guests include George Wesley, Don Shappelle and the Pickups, Post Junction, Miz, Kriki and K8. And what summertime schedule would be complete without a trip to Kirby Park on the Fourth of July? The food vendors, bands and rides are always fun, but nothing beats the tradition of listening to the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic playing as a backdrop to a sky full of colorful fireworks on the nation’s birthday. Summer is here, unofficially, so let’s get out there and enjoy it!

Mexican authorities detain nearly 50 members of two major drug cartels By GUSTAVO RUIZ Associated Press

MORELIA, Mexico — Mexico’s federal police detained nearly 50 members of two major drug cartels, including suspects in the recent armed attack on a police helicopter, authorities said Saturday. The suspects include 36 members of the La Familia cartel and 10 members of

the Zetas drug gang, the federal police said in a statement. La Familia gang members were detained in connection with the attack on a federal police helicopter Tuesday that wounded two officers and forced the craft to land. The statement said 11 other alleged cartel members were killed during the operation Friday night in the Pacific Coast state of Jalisco.

Authorities added that the 10 Zeta members were detained Friday at a ranch in Cancun, where a kidnapping victim was found and released. Along with the 36 La Familia members, police seized over 70 rifles, 20,000 weapon cartridges, three grenades and 14 handguns in an air and land raid that left two officers injured. Federal Police Commissioner Facun-

do Rosas said the mass detention has delivered a blow to a top leader of La Familia, Jose de Jesus Mendez Vargas, the alleged leader of the detained suspects. “His group has been weakened, which is why we don’t rule out the possibility that (Mendez Vargas) will look to other criminal organizations for support,” Rosas said during a news conference.

It was light blue with a white vinyl top.” What are you reading? “I recently finished ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ by Elizabeth Gilbert. And I enjoyed it, only because it defined how, no matter what your age, you can keep growing.” Favorite quote? “I am third. First comes God, then comes other people, and I am third” - Gale Sayers Defining moment? “Eleven years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It will always be a part of my life, but I was bound and determined that it wasn’t going to define my life. I really think I grew to appreciate every day, knowing that you never know when it could be taken away from you. It really helped me to grow in many ways, personally and spiritually, and have a new appreciation for everything that I have in my life. The day of the diagnosis and the day I was told was actually the day of my oldest daughter’s high school graduation. I’m sitting there wondering, ‘Well, am I going to see her graduate from college?’ Am I going to see my younger daughter graduate from high school?’ I understand what a gift everything that we’ve been given in life really is.”

ost people this time of year are planning their summer vacations. Genealogists with roots in Wyoming Valley are looking to excursions into the life and times of their ancestors. Let’s see if we can help. Elsa Garey Roden of Endicott, N.Y. is researching the Hadsell and Garey lines in our area. One item is of particular interest to her. “There is a book on the Hadsells I am trying to find,” she writes. So far she’s been unsuccessful in this quest. Ms. Roden, it looks to me as if you’re seeking “For a Thousand Years: The Hadsell-Hodsol Genealogy of Norway, England, and America.” The book is by Willard L. Hadsell and was published in 1956. For many years people researching the Hadsell name have quoted and referred to this book. Unfortunately, according to the bookselling website Amazon.com, the volume has been out of print and unavailable for many years. Still, there are several things you can do. First, if you go online and search for the book by title you will find a list of libraries that have copies. This option, of course, would involve quite a bit of travel. Second, you can go to the Hadsell Family Genealogy Forum and check through the posts to see if anyone does own a copy and is willing to answer questions about its contents for you. At the very least you will connect up with other people researching the Hadsells. Third, several years ago a researcher into the Hadsell line said in a web posting that she was beginning a project to make the book available online. I’d advise you to keep checking the Hadsell Forum for references to that book becoming available. You can also search online for the book by title, and any online presence — if there is one — would certainly come up. Fourth, visit your regional Church of Latter-day Saints Family History Center to see if the book has ever been digitized or if there is any other way to obtain it. The Hadsell name has been a distinguished one in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The first known member of that family here was James Hadsell, a New Englander, who came here in 1762, lived in present-day Forty Fort and operated a 600-acre farm. He was killed in the 1778 Battle of Wyoming, and his descendants qualify for membership in the DAR. For additional information on the Hadsells and Gareys I’d recommend a trip to the Luzerne County Historical Society in Wilkes-Barre. Search the library’s holdings, including the family name file. News Notes: The Northeast Pennsylvania Genealogical Society is continuing its long-term project of copying documents of interest to genealogists. The group extends an invitation to all churches and cemeteries that would like their records placed on microfilm or computer disc. Contact the society at nepgsmail@gmail.com. • The World Genweb continues to expand. More and more countries are now covered by Genweb sites containing history and genealogical information, many with message boards and many in English. To access these sites, search for World Genweb, where you will find a map that will take you to the country you’re interested in. • Check out Linkpendium on the Luzerne County Genweb, a handy entry point to various genealogy-related websites throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. • Wish you had better computer skills? Watch your Times Leader for news on the computer classes offered at the area’s libraries. The classes, free or at nominal cost, tend to be geared to the needs of older adults.

A dose of encouragement Lissa Bryan-Smith wins Distinguished Leadership Award for motivation, dedication to her community By JANINE UNGVARSKY For the Times Leader

ots of people attempt to prevent weight gain during the holidays, but few go so far as to try to encourage their whole little corner of the world to stick to healthy habits, too. But it was perfectly in character for Lissa Bryan-Smith to care enough to encourage her co-workers to stay trim during the season. That kind, caring attitude and dedication to the community around her is the reason Bryan-Smith will be awarded the Leadership Wilkes-Barre 2011 Distinguished Leadership Award on June 2. The award is presented annually at a dinner that celebrates the incoming and outgoing Leadership Wilkes-Barre classes. Bryan-Smith is a 2005 graduate of the Leadership Wilkes-Barre Executive Program. “There are so many honors in this Valley that one can have, but it’s hard for me to think of anything that would mean more to me than this,” she said. “I’m bowled over and humbled by it, and so proud to be part of Leadership

Besides serving as the chief administrative officer of Geisinger’s Regional Ambulatory Campus in

downtown Wilkes-Barre, Bryan-Smith epitomizes Leadership Wilkes-Barre’s focus on improving the quality of life in the Greater Wilkes-Barre area. But not all of those improvements take place on a grand community-wide scale. Take her efforts to keep holiday pounds from creeping on. It wasn’t enough for Bryan-Smith, a registered nurse, to seek ways to keep herself healthy; she saw it as a way to help those she works with as well. Last November, she shared her goal of losing weight during the holiday season with the Geisinger community, and invited others to join her. She blogged weekly to share her progress and keep herself honest, and promised to reward all coworkers who matched her goal with a special T-shirt. “Many health care workers like myself are aging and I want them to know they can live a healthier lifestyle,” she said. “I got great feedback from them

I just knew that’s what I wanted to do.” You’ve been with Catholic Social Services since 1978 and with Big Brothers Big Sisters since 1986. What keeps you so inspired? “It’s the diversity of the job. I always knew I wanted to work with children, and being able to do that and being able to work with the volunteers melds together a wonderful combination. I also have the opportunity to work with advisory boards, which puts me with folks from the community that are dedicated to the cause. And there’s fundraising. It’s not a boring job. You just keep going from one thing to another to another. When I walk out of here, I know that my job is never done. There will always be something on that desk tomorrow that needs to be taken care of and needs attention.” How does it feel to find a perfect match for a child with a Big Brother or Big Sister? “Many of

those relationships continue on for a lifetime. And that’s what’s great. These kids really needed that extra support and that friend in their life, and it’s gratifying to know that it continued on for many, many years. It’s wonderful.” What do you do to relax? “My husband and I have really enjoyed raising our children and being involved in their different activities. And we enjoy traveling. We enjoy going on cruises, because we get to see a lot of different parts of the world and different countries on one trip. We’re very familyoriented.” Music? “I love country music. The biggest kick I got was taking my 83-yearold mother to see Alan Jackson at the Mohegan Sun Arena last year. That was great.” Sports fans? “We enjoy Penn State football. And when the arena football was here, we had season tickets to the Pioneers. And we’ll pick up some Penguins hockey games here or there. My kids went to Wyoming Valley West, so we also follow their sports schedule. We like local teams.” Favorite city? “I love New York.” Favorite vacation spot? “Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. Megan’s Bay is also right in that area. It’s just absolutely beautiful.” Favorite food? “Lobster.” Always in the cupboard? “Popcorn.” Favorite TV show? “I really like ‘Criminal Minds’ and ‘Law & Order SVU’. And I like the ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ type stuff as

about how it was helping and they just constantly inspired me, so it was a perfect circle.” The effort was a success for Bryan-Smith and many Geisinger employees, and it’s just one example of how she has spent her life trying to helping people and her community. In fact, she has made a career out of it. Catch Bryan-Smith bustling about the office suite on the second floor of Geisinger’s South Wilkes-Barre campus and you’ll see a woman dressed in a business suit juggling the usual day full of meetings, interviews, appointments and

SUNDAY, MAY 29, 2011 PAGE 9B phone calls t hat come with a senior administrative position. But you can’t miss one thing about Bryan-Smith that you don’t see on many executives: just below her employee identification badge is another white badge bearing a simple twoletter title — RN. Nursing was her first career, and though it wasn’t her first career choice, Bryan-Smith said she has never once regretted being a nurse. “I didn’t grow up wanting to be a nurse,” she said. “I wanted to be a teacher or a librarian because I love books.” She started pursuing a degree that would have led to a career as a librarian, but found it wasn’t for her. “I didn’t like it. I found out you had to be quiet, and

that’s not in my skill set,” Bryan-Smith said with a laugh. She left school and took a summer job at a hospital for mentally ill patients where she got a firsthand look at the life of a registered nurse. “I watched them and I knew that they were making a difference,” Bryan-Smith said. “I went to nursing school at 21 years of age and I fell in love with hospital nursing. I could see every day that I made a difference for a patient or their family, and that was critical to me.” Her career path led from hospital nursing to working a front-line office position for a team of allergists, then to stints as an office manager and vice president before she assumed her current poSee SMITH, Page 10B

sition as chief administrative officer at Geisinger’s South Wilkes-Barre campus. “I’ve been very, very blessed,” Bryan-Smith said of her journey. “But even now, if I have a trying day, I can walk into a clinical area and go out and talk to a patient or a nurse and be reenergized by trying to make their day better in some way.” Though she passed on a career as a librarian or teacher, Bryan-Smith remains passionate about continuing to share knowledge, whether it’s encouraging people to maintain healthy lifestyles that will allow them to avoid problems like the heart disease that plagued her family, or supporting smoking cessation efforts to help others beat the habit she herself kicked years ago. “When I went to nursing school, all the nurses smoked, and ironically, that’s where I learned to smoke,” she said. “Stopping was the first thing I had to do to live a healthy life style and that’s what I continue to try to do and to encourage others to do.” One thing that supports Bryan-Smith’s healthy habits is the downtown Wilkes-Barre home she shares with her husband, her mom, two Golden Retrievers and two cats. The home, which was built in 1873, has been filled with period touches, courtesy of Bryan-Smith and her husband, and is central to a lifestyle that includes walks around the neighborhood and long chats with neighbors, including

THE TIMES LEADER the students from nearby Wilkes University. “It’s so great to be living in a university neighborhood where you can walk to Boscov’s, Barnes & Noble, stores like the Beehive and all the great restaurants we have,” she said. And while she’d love to see the downtown continue to grow and flourish into the kind of university town many other areas enjoy, Bryan-Smith said she thoroughly enjoys all the improvements this area has already seen. “I love Movies 14. I like that when dinner is over, I can just take a short walk and enjoy a movie. It’s a wonderful benefit to being downtown and one I hope people appreciate,” she said. Bryan-Smith has become such an impassioned fan of this area that she’s planning on combining that with another interest to write a book. As long time antique enthusiasts and former antique dealers, she and her husband have written two books on antiques and been featured in Martha Stewart Living, on HGTV and other national media venues. Drawing on her experience growing up in a Williamsport area farmhouse filled with antiques brimming with family history, Bryan-Smith has developed a special love of antiques children’s toys and antiques related to the holidays. She’d like to combine her interest in holidays of the past with her love for her new hometown and write a third book with Richard, this one focusing on holiday traditions of the Greater WilkesBarre area. Bryan-Smith seeks the help of local residents willing to share their memories of special holiday traditions and especially

photos that capture these traditions and local holiday landmarks of the past, like the decorations once displayed over the main door to the Pomeroy’s store on Public Square and the giant candy-dispensing Easter Bunny in the old Lazarus department store. She’s set up a special email address for people to share those stories or contact her regarding photos: wbholiday@frontier.com. Bryan-Smith said it’s important to save these memories, and equally important for people to realize how lucky they are to live in this area. “I hope that people who live here don’t take for granted what an amazing community this is,” she said. “People still care about people here … and so much good work gets done here every day, so many people here who volunteer, not looking for any recognition.” While some long-time residents continue to compare Wilkes-Barre, especially the downtown area, with what it was like before the 1972 Agnes flood, Bryan-Smith likes to share her perspective as someone who doesn’t see WilkesBarre for what it was, but for what it is becoming. “This area is a gem,” she said. “I hope people can rediscover it for what it is now and what it can be. And there’s no reason for people to not be involved in making that happen. If you live here and you’re not involved, it’s because you don’t want to be because there are plenty of opportunities. “This is the most friendly place I’ve ever lived, and people are so lucky to live here,” she said. “This is my forever home.”

Yankees’ winning streak ends at 4

PIAA TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

Women’s game ends up being quite a show

Dorn’s two-run HR in the eighth off Sanit is the difference for Louisville.

By STEVE BITTENBENDER For The Times Leader

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Danny Dorn’s two-run home run with two out in the eighth lifted the Louisville Bats past the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees 4-3 Saturday night at Louisville Slugger Field. The blast to left-center was just out of the reach of Austin Krum and was enough to snap SWB’s four-game winning streak. Amauri Sanit (2-1) started the inning by getting Juan Francisco to ground out and Todd BATS Frazier to fly out. But Jeremy Hermida extended the inYANKEES ning by singling, setting the stage for Dorn to break a 2-2 tie. Sunit continued to struggled, allowing another walk and a single. He made two pitches to Kristopher Negron before needing to be lifted because of an apparent injury. But Kaneoka Texeria, in his first SWB appearance, got Kristopher Negron to ground out to end the inning. SWB mounted a rally in the ninth. Justin Maxwell led off the ninth with a long homer, his 15th, off David Johnson (2-0) to cut the Bats’ lead to one. The Yankees would load the bases with only one out in the ninth, but Krum’s bid for a possible go-ahead hit up the middle was stopped by the shortstop Negron, who turned it into a game-ending double play. Former SWB Yankee reliever Steven Jackson got the double play to earn his first save for Louisville. The Yankees got off to a strong start off Edinson Volquez, the opening-day starter for the Cincinnati Reds. Krum tripled to left field and scored on Ramiro Pena’s single. The start mirrored Volquez’s problems in Cincinnati, where he had an 18.00 ERA in the first inning of his Reds starts. But the right-hander settled down after that, only allowing two walks and a hit batsman over the next six innings. He was in

Djokovic, Nadal, Sharapova win Centennial race could By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

PARIS — What was shaping up as a struggle for Novak Djokovic at the French Open suddenly turned into something of a stroll. Tied at a set apiece with big-hitting 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro when play was suspended because of darkness a night earlier, Djokovic quickly faced two break points Saturday. He saved those, then broke del Potro in the next game, and that was pretty much that. “If he serves well, he can beat anybody, really,” Djokovic said. “I went (into) the match a bit more nervous than usual.” If that’s so, it didn’t really show. Djokovic completed a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory in the third AP PHOTO round, pushing his 2011 record to 40-0 and stretching his winning streak to 42 matches over- Rafael Nadal serves the ball to Croatia’s AntoSee OPEN, Page 5C

By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — When Alex Tagliani leads the 33-car field into the first turn of the Indianapolis 500, he’ll be tugging along a century’s worth of triumphs, thrills and tragedy. But in this, the 100th anniversary of America’s most famous race, the focus is clearly on the future. The IndyCar series is showing signs of emerging from 15 years of irrelevance, a period of darkness that began with an open-wheel war between two feuding series and ended with a peace agreement hardly anyone noticed.

ven from way up on the concourse, it was easy for everyone to see. There is just something captivatingly different about the style of play in the WNBA. “It’s like 3D, but better,” raved Justine Seely, a sophomore center who plays just down the road at Benton High School. Too bad more people didn’t get to appreciate a basketball night from an alternate dimension. Only 2,139 fans showed up Friday when the WNBA brought a preseason game to Mohegan Sun Arena. “For a preseason game, that’s a respectable crowd,” said Bobby Soper, the president of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs whose parent company owns the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun. For a Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees game, that’s a packed house. But for a historic event, the interest wasn’t exactly overflowing. It wasn’t quite the New Jersey Nets playing the New York Knicks. “The men are a lot more physical,” said Samantha Martin, a senior at Dallas who just finished up her high school basketball career before she heads to Albright. “They get up and down the court quicker.” But what people got when they showed up to watch the WNBA at Mohegan Sun Arena was quite a show.

Plenty of players on hand The passing was precise Friday, the defense was determined and the effort was excellent as the Connecticut Sun staved off the San Antonio Silver Stars 75-73 in the first WNBA game played in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Connecticut’s Tina Charles, out of that women’s college basketball factory known as the University of Connecticut, dominated the inside with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Fan favorite Kelly Mazzante, the Big Ten all-time Big Ten scoring leader when she played at Penn State, delighted the crowd by burying four of her five 3-point shots for the Stars. “I got a lot of sarcasm from my teammates – ‘Where is Wilkes-Barre, Pa.?” said Mazzante, who starred down the road at Montoursville High. “But it was good for people to see a professional game.” Watching other former college stars including Kara Lawson from Tennessee and Alysha Clark from Texas A&M work live proved treats for the crowd. “The competition is more than I expected,” said Dave Zasada from Swoyersville, who brought his 9-year-old basketball-loving son Matt to watch the game. “It’s hard to judge, because it’s the first live (women’s) game I ever saw. But I’m glad to see some professionals play.” It was clear some of the younger basketball-playing fans were fascinated by it all. “It’s really cool to see something like this happen here,” Martin said. “The ballhandling, the fast break, the transitions are a lot quicker … it’s just a totally different style of play.” Call it a clinic for aspiring basketball stars. “We both could see what to do in our positions,” said Seely, who attended the game with her Benton teammate and point guard Casey Gavin. Could such a night send local players on their way to the WNBA someday? “I don’t know if they aspire to play in it,” King’s College women’s coach Brian Donahue said, “but they can appreciate it. I think it was great that it was here. You had some of the biggest names in the WNBA here. You had a lot of local high school players here (to watch), college players, high school coaches, youth kids.” They all got their money’s worth. But really, the value of the night was worth so much more. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist. You may reach him at 970-7109 or email him at psokoloski@timesleader.com.

YA N K E E S P R O S P E C T S

Hurlers look sharp vs. Double-A hitters Editor’s Note: The Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees have taken a page from their parent club by winning championships. SWB has racked up four consecutive International League North Division titles and more could be on the way because the minor league system is stacked with top prospects that are close to contributing at the Triple-A or Major League level, according to Baseball America. By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

Dellin Betances: The No. 3 overall prospect for the Yankees and the top pitching prospect, had his worst outing of the year on Wednesday for Double-A Trenton, but it still wasn’t a bad effort. The 23-year-old, right-hander allowed two runs and four hits in six innings and whiffed 10 against Reading. In the no-decision, his ERA rose slightly to 1.30. Overall this season in seven starts, he’s 3-1 with 39 strikeouts in 34 2⁄3 innings. Manny Banuelos: The No. 2 pitching prospect in the organization and the No. 4 overall prospect for the Yankees, continues to lower his ERA start-bystart. The 5-foot-11, 155-pound lefty pitched twice during the last week, earning a win and a nodecision. The 20-year-old’s ERA dropped from 2.25 to 2.16 in his last two starts. He has fanned 38 in 41 1⁄3 innings for the Double-A Thunder. Austin Romine: Another catcher and the No. 6 overall prospect for the Yankees, the 22-year-old is having a solid season at Double-A Trenton. He has been consistent this season for the Thunder, hitting .284 with four home runs and 26 RBI in 155 at-bats before Saturday’s action. Over the last seven days, he went 8-for-21 with five RBI. Slade Heathcott: The 20-yearold outfielder playing for Single-A Charleston raised his average to .301 this season by going 7-for-28 in his last six games. After Friday’s action, he has three home runs, 14 RBI and six stolen bases in 40 games for the RiverDogs. He has also been reaching base at a good clip with 17 extra-base hits and 15 walks this season. Notable: Tampa third baseman Robert Lyerly leads all Yankee minor leaguers in batting average, hitting .337 in 190 at-bats.

LOCALS IN MINORS

WVC grads hitting .300-plus for teams By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

Russ Canzler: After slumping slightly earlier this week going just 1-for-11, the Hazleton Area graduate went 6-for-10 during a twogame period on Thursday and Friday for the Durham Bulls. Playing for the Triple-A club of the Tampa Bay Rays, Canzler hit his fourth home run of the year on Friday against Toledo. Through Friday, he’s hitting .311, with 23 RBI, in 43 games for Durham. He also has three stolen three bases and an on-base percentage of .432. Chris Sedon, a Coughlin graduate, played in six games last week for the Gateway Grizzlies, an independent team in Sauget, Ill. He’s seeing at-bats as designated hitter for the team and went 5-for-19 in those contests. Overall for the Grizzlies, Sedon is hitting .304 with three doubles before Saturday.

At UNC and as pro, Warren has individual, team success

Mounds of triumph I

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

t appears that Adam Warren and the Yankees organization are a good fit. The New York Yankees are a team that has the most World Series titles with 27. Warren, a right-handed pitcher, also has a resume filled with success. The victorious attitude for the 23-yearold was at an all-time high while he was in college at the University of North Carolina and has continued throughout his minor league career. Before the Yankees’ No. 12 overall prospect – according to Baseball America – got to Chapel Hill, the Tar Heels never advanced to the 12-team College World Series tournament. While he was playing at UNC, the team reached the World Series all four years when he played from 2006-09. After graduating and getting drafted in the fourth round, he joined the Staten Island Yankees and went 4-2 with a 1.43 ERA in 12 starts to help the short-season Class A team win the New York-Penn League title. He followed that with a combined 11-7 record and 2.59 ERA in 25 starts with Class A Tampa and Double-A Trenton in 2010. He also helped the Double-A Thunder advance to the finals of the Eastern League playoffs. It was his collegiate career and playing in the ACC that helped him succeed at the professional level. “I felt like the ACC was one of the stronger conferences in baseball, so I knew I could pitch there, and coming to the next level I could go after hitters and still have that confidence,” said Warren, from New Bern, N.C. “I think that’s helped me learn how to pitch and build that confidence.” The Tar Heels reached the national championship three-game series in 2006 and 2007 when they fell to Oregon State both times and settled for runner-up status. In 2008, UNC advanced to the national semifinals before being eliminated by that year’s runner-up, Fresno State. The final year of the run only lasted three games in the double-elimination tournament when the Tar Heels went 1-2. Warren was a big contributor for the Tar Heels in 2007, his sophomore year, when he put together his best collegiate season. For UNC that year he went 12-0 in 15 appearances (12 starts). In 70 1/3 innings, he only gave up 17 earned runs for a 2.17 ERA as the Tar Heels also won their only ACC championship in the four-year run. Warren left UNC with a career record of 22-2 and a 3.49 ERA in 48 appearances (33 starts). “It was exciting. We had a lot of good players come through the team while I was there and there were some games that I didn’t pitch well and still got the win because we put up a bunch of runs,” Warren said. “For me it was the four best years of my life. Just being able to play with those guys every day and see the talent come through there.” Several of his Tar Heels teammates also were drafted by Major League teams. Dustin Ackley (infielder, Mariners), Alex

FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

Right-hander Adam Warren had his best start for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday. He gave up one run and three hits in eight innings as the Yanks beat Indianapolis, 5-1.

“The Carolina tradition is a winning tradition and every sport expects to win. That’s kind of what sold me on the school ... ”

Warren added. The baseball team wasn’t the only program flourishing at the time Warren was attending North Carolina. The Tar Heels men’s basketball team won a national title in 2009 after reaching Adam Warren the Final Four in 2008. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre starting pitcher The football program won 20 games in four years, but started becoming a contender in the ACC, snapping a four-year bowl drought in 2008.

Ackley is the No. 1 overall prospect and Warren said. “That’s kind of what sold me on the school was not just the baseball is currently still in the minors, while program but the whole kind of athletic White has reached the majors and is on the disabled list. Miller was projected as a program and just to have that winning traditions.” future pitching star when he was drafted One of the professional highlights for by the Tigers, but is now playing for his Warren was setting a franchise record with third organization.

Single-A Clearwater plays on and on, and ends up with a record 23-inning loss Editor’s Note: The Philadelphia Phillies minor league system has lost some highly regarded prospects during the last few years with many trades being made to help the parent club. But that doesn’t mean the cupboard is bare. The Phillies have produced more young talent and might have more pieces to deal if they need to make a midseason trade this season. Here are how some of the top prospects in the Philadelphia organization are faring this spring:

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

Clearwater, the Single-A club for the Phillies, played a historic game this past week. The Threshers participated in a 23-inning marathon on Monday against the Jupiter Hammerheads and lost 2-1. The contest, which was the longest in Clearwater history and lasted 5 hours, 27 minutes, finished with just 31 combined hits. Threshers first baseman Joe Savery, who is a former pitcher in the organization, pitched two

scoreless innings. It was his first appearance on the mound since Sept. 3, 2010 when he pitched for Lehigh Valley. At the plate, Savery is hitting .331 with 17 RBI and has a .381 on-base percentage. He has 11 extra-base hits and 17 RBI in 154 at-bats for the Threshers. Double-A Reading’s Matt Rizzotti had an off-week and was passed by Savery for the organizational lead in batting average. Rizzotti, a designated hitter for the R-Phils, is hitting .325.Brody Colvin: The team’s top pitching prospect, according to Baseball

America, returned to the mound for Single-A Clearwater after being shut down with a back injury. He started the 23-inning contest for the Threshers and pitched six innings of onerun ball. In 16 1⁄3 innings this season, he is 0-1 with a 4.96 ERA and 11 strikeouts and five walks. Jesse Biddle: The Phillies’ No. 1 pick from 2010 allowed three runs over five innings in a no-decision last week for the Low-A Lakewood Blue Claws. For the season, the 19-yearold lefty is 2-5 with a 4.78 ERA in nine starts for Lakewood. He’s fanned 43 in 43 1⁄3 innings.

I.L. NOTEBOOK

IronPigs plan visit to Hall of Fame By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

Ryne Sandberg was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005 for his exceptional career as second baseman for the Chicago Cubs. The manager of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs is now getting his whole team into the establishment in Cooperstown, N.Y. The ’Pigs and their manager will take a trip to Cooperstown on June 15 on their way to Pawtucket. That date is an open date for the team and comes after an eightgame homestand and before a four-game stint with the PawSox. The contingent from Lehigh Valley, the Triple-A franchise of the Phillies, will tour the museum a month before former Phillies general manager Pat Gillick will be inducted into the Hall on July 24. While playing for the Cubs – after being traded from Philadelphia – Sandberg was a 10-time All-Star during his 16-year career. In his career, he batted .285, with 282 home runs, 1,061 RBI and 344 stolen bases in 2,164 games. BULL, BRAVE LAUDED Durham infielder Felipe Lopez and Gwinett pitcher Todd Redmond were selected the International League Batter and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, for the week of May 16-22. Redmond picked up the honor for the third time in his career with the previous times coming from June 28-July 4 and Aug. 23-29 of last season. Redmond threw a three-hit shutout last week, throwing 111 pitches in a complete-game win over Rochester. Although he’s won the award three times, he oddly didn’t claim the achievement last season after throwing a no-hitter on May 28, 2010 against Louisville. Lopez put together a stellar .591 batting average (13-for-22) in five games last week. A major leaguer with the Blue Jays, Reds, Nationals, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Brewers, Red Sox and Rays, Lopez posted a multiple-hit effort in all five games he played. He also ended the week with eight RBI and seven runs scored. TODAY IN I.L. HISTORY Indians prospect Cory Snyder was known as a fiery player. On May 29, 1986, while playing for Maine in a game against Rochester, his passion showed. After popping out in one at-bat, he threw the bat in disgust and accidentally injured two female fans. While playing defense later in the inning, the infielder applied a tag at second base on a hard slide and a bench-clearing brawl ensued. When he came up to bat later in the game, he was hit by a pitch and didn’t charge the mound. But the benches cleared again and a brawl between the teams couldn’t be stopped. Snyder was ejected from the game and also faced criminal charges for the bat-throwing incident.

On This Date On May 31, 1998, the Red Barons erupted for 26 runs in a road win against the Toledo Mud Hens. The Red Barons set several still-standing franchise records in runs, home runs (7), extra-base hits (14), RBI (26) and largest margin of victory in the 26-4 rout. Bobby Estalella homered and went 5-for-6 in the game. Other Barons to go deep in the contest were Wendell Magee Jr., Marlon Anderson, David Doster, Jose Flores and Tony Barron with two.

A hot time on two wheels From kids to pros, it’s a good time for cycling

By MATTHEW SHUTT For The Times Leader

HANOVER TWP. – On a lazy Saturday afternoon there was still plenty of traffic to be found along Lasley Avenue in the Hanover Industrial Estates – but of the two-wheeled variety. The looping road served as the course for The Mohegan Sun Scorcher and The Jack Williams Tire Youth Challenge, an afternoonlong bicycle race for all levels of riders, from children as young as 6 and 7 years old to the seasoned professionals. As different categories of riders from both in and out of the area took their turns winding along the looping course, David Novak, 18, of Tunkhannock, certainly found a way to stand out among the crowd. Novak, currently a Level 2 rider training to make the jump to professional status, won the Junior 17-18 year old race and competed in the Pro 123 race, the final of the day. “Hopefully I’ll be a Level 1 by the end of the year,” said Novak. “It’s just a lot of fun to keep going, to win some races. If I can get into a top-three finish at nationals this year, hopefully I can get to that professional level.” With only a handful of riders in Novak’s age group ranked in the same level, he could soon find himself pulling away from the pack with a few races soon coming up on his schedule. Lake Carey, in Tunkhannock, will be the host of an event held today, while upcoming races will be held in Nicholson, Luzerne and Nanticoke, all before the end of June. All the events are sanctioned by the USA Bicycling Federation, which keeps track of results and rankings that determine which racers make the national team and eventually given a crack at the Olympics. Wilkes-Barre will be host a race held late in August, something organizer Phil Cable is looking forward to. “It’s on Aug. 27 and I’m really excited about some of the ideas I have for it,” said Cable, currently of Huntington. “I’m going to be talking with some of the local restaurants about bringing some of their tables outside to watch the riders go by and, also, with some of the local businesses about sponsoring a team of employees that would donate its winnings to a charity of their choice.”

While the notion of dinner in a bistro setting on Public Square as flocks of bicyclists speed by will undoubtedly seem unconventional to some, there were a few fans in attendance that were in favor of such an event. “I think it would be, to say the least, an interesting way to spend an evening,” said James Mikluscak, 23, of Larksville. “If Wilkes-Barre’s trying to bring new attractions to the area, it could be something fun to go and do. The downtown area has become a nice play to spend a night and I’d want to go and see something like Cyclists make their way up a hill during the Cat 4/5 race that.” Saturday morning at Hanover Industrial Estates.

all, including two Davis Cup matches in December. “He was much better than me,” said the 25th-seeded del Potro, a semifinalist in Paris two years ago. “He has everything; everything perfect. He has very good movement. He’s very fast. He’s improved his serve. He’s beating all the players very, very easy, and I’m one more victim of his game.” Djokovic’s 42-match run is tied for the third-longest by a man in the Open era, which began in 1968; Guillermo Vilas won 46 in a row in1977. And Djokovic is off to the second-best start to a season, trailing only John McEnroe’s 42-0 in 1984. As it happens, the 24-year-old Serb ran into McEnroe at Roland Garros on Saturday, and they chatted. Asked whether McEnroe was one of his favorite players, Djokovic replied with a smile: “Nothing against his age, but it’s just that I was still quite young when he stopped playing.” McEnroe said recently he finds Djokovic’s streak more impressive than his own, because of the current depth in men’s tennis, and because it includes a Grand Slam title — at January’s Australian Open, which was played at season’s end in 1984. Djokovic, who will be in action for a third straight day today when he faces No.13 Richard Gasquet of France, said a third major championship — and first at the French Open — takes priority over any other possible goal at the moment. If he gets to the final, he’ll take over the No. 1 ranking from Rafael Nadal. Djokovic is 4-0 this year against Nadal, including wins in two claycourt tournament finals this month, and some have speculated those results chipped away at the Spaniard’s self-belief. Nadal felt much better about himself and his game after reaching the fourth round by beating Croatian qualifier Antonio Veic 6-1, 6-3, 6-0. “Solutions don’t come from heaven. I mean, you can’t change everything in one day. And you know what? I had not forgotten how to play tennis for a week, but I played better today,” said Nadal, who was pushed to five sets in the first round. He’s 41-1 in his French Open career and bidding to tie Bjorn Borg’s mark of six titles at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament. The man Nadal beat for trophy No. 5 in last year’s final, Robin Soderling, also reached the fourth round, as did three-time Grand Slam runner-up Andy Murray, No. 15 Viktor Troicki, No. 18 Gilles Simon, and unseeded Ivan Ljubicic, who eliminated No. 16 Fernando Verdasco 6-3, 7-6 (6), 6-4 and meets Nadal on Monday. “There is no question that his confidence is shaken,” Ljubicic said about Nadal. “You see him in the locker room. He’s saying it. He’s not hiding it.” No. 4 Murray got past Michael Berrer of Germany 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 despite badly twisting his right ankle while chasing a drop shot in the second set, then said he wasn’t sure if he could play his next match. Berrer chastised himself for not taking advantage. “I should have hurt him when he’s down, but that’s difficult for me. So I was feeling sorry for him,” Berrer said. “I need to be tougher. Like, in Germany, we have a saying that ’an injured deer has to fall.’ So that was what I should have done today.” France’s Simon beat No. 10 Mardy Fish 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. That result, plus Vania King’s 6-4, 6-2 loss to No. 9 Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, mean there are zero U.S. men or women left in the singles draws as the tournament enters Week 2. Only one other time in the Open era were there no Americans in the round of 16 at a Grand Slam tournament — the 1973 Australian Open, when no one from the United States entered the field. Twenty-eight of the 32 players still around in both fields are from Europe. That includes three Russian women who won Saturday: No. 7 Maria Sharapova, No. 25 Maria Kirilenko and unseeded Ekaterina Makarova. Also advancing: No. 4 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, No. 6 Li Na of China, No. 12 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, and No. 15 Andrea Petkovic of Germany.

PIAA TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Training key for Colley’s showing es, including a strength and conTigers sprinter credits a ditioning coach.” change in preparation as key Colley, who plans to run at to winning two state medals. Widener University next year, By TOM ROBINSON For the Times Leader

SHIPPENSBURG – Gavin Colley ate better and trained smarter, preparing himself for what turned into a demanding final day of the PIAA Track and Field Championships at Shippensburg University. Running a series of sprints while fighting heat, wind and fatigue, Colley was the only Wyoming Valley Conference boy to claim two medals during Saturday’s competition. Coughlin’s Shelley Black matched Tunkhannock’s Colley in producing two Class 3A medals on Saturday. GAR’s Darrell Crawford and Hanover Area’s Olivia Jendrezjewski each added a second Class 2A medal Saturday after winning their first Friday. “In the past, especially in my sophomore year, I didn’t even have a chance down here,” Colley said after taking fifth in the 100 with a time of 11.11 seconds and eighth in the 200 in 22.95. “Last year, if I ran my absolute best race, I could have made the semifinals or maybe the finals. “This year, I could run my best race almost all the time.” Colley said he reached his potential with better training. “I was training like a miler, not a sprinter,” Colley said. “I was always tired and I felt weak. “To prepare for this year, I talked to a bunch of different coach-

said instead of working out on the track six days a week, he was more inclined to lift weights three days and run hard twice in a week. Crawford made it through semifinal qualifying with the fifth-best time out of 16 entries and went on to take eighth in the Class 2A110-meter high hurdles. The GAR junior added the medal to the two fourth-place medals he earned in the triple jump last season and Friday. Jendrezjewski, a sophomore, took sixth in two events. After earning her first medal in the high jump Friday, she went 35-10 in the triple jump Saturday. WVC athletes added five other medals Saturday. Holy Redeemer’s team of David Gawlas, Austin Carr, Jeff Capaci and Seth Tarselli placed fourth in the Class 2A 400-meter relay in 43.28 seconds. A.J. Limongelli gave the Royals a fifth-place finish in the 3,200, the day’s first event, in 9:35.44. The 3,200 was the only track event that did not have a qualifying step on Friday. It included three medalists from the WVC. Dallas freshman Regan Rome ran with the lead three runners until deep into the seventh lap of the eight-lap race before falling off and settling for sixth in Class 3A in 10:53.31. Holy Redeemer’s Marissa Durako started the day with a seventh-place finish in the 3,200 in 11:12.56.

Marissa Durako of Holy Redeemer competes in the 3,200. She placed seventh in the Class 2A race.

Hanover Area’s Martin Steve finished seventh in the Class 2A discus with a throw of 153-6. Gawlas just missed an individual medal. He had the eighthbest time (11.49) in the 100-meter semifinals, but was not one of the eight finalists. The top three from each heat are guaranteed of advancing and Gawlas had a better time than the third-place finisher in the other heat. Lackawanna Trail’s Lauren Ellsworth led Lackawanna League performers with a second-place finish in the Class 2A 400 dash and a fifth-place in the 100. Note: In Friday’s results, the school that high jumper Amanda Jimcosky competes for was incorrect. Jimcosky is on the Northwest Area team.

eight state medals and a series of memorable performances. “I wouldn’t be able to pick between the two years,” Black said. “I know a lot of people were expecting me to win two gold medals again, but to get a first, second and fourth in the same year is a big deal, too.” Black repeated her 100-meter championship and finished second in the 300 behind the staterecord performance of Leah Nugent of Abington, who had won the state title in 2009. The Penn State recruit was untouched all weekend in the 100. Black had the best time of 29 entries with 13.87 seconds in Friday’s qualifying, led 16 semifinalists Saturday morning in 14.21 and won in 13.83 seconds Saturday afternoon. “I don’t really think I was ever behind, but there were girls right with me going over the first and second hurdles,” Black said of the final. “Then, I started pulling away. “That’s how a lot of my races seem to go.” Black went from 42.98 in Friday’s qualifying to 42.51 in Saturday’s 300 final, but it was not enough to keep pace with Nugent.

After beating the District 1 champion head-to-head in last year’s final, Black finished second to Nugent’s record time of 41.10. Nugent began pulling away after the second hurdle, then maintained her lead. Black was more than two seconds ahead of everyone else in the field. “She qualified (Friday) with a time completely better than anything I had ever done,” Black said. “Just because of that, it didn’t mean I couldn’t win. I still thought I had a chance. “She ran a state-record time. She ran a great race and deserved to win.” Hayward was sixth in 45.04. After finishing second to Black in both races in last week’s District 2 championships, Hayward said her teammate has inspired her to believe she can move up toward the top steps of the state medal stand next season as a senior. Gross actually gave District 2 its first hurdles medal of the day. A hurdler since fourth grade while running on the GT Races summer track team that her father, Richard Gross, coaches, Gross said she made great strides in the last year because of Black’s success. “It took years of work,” she said. “I used to come in first in my age group, but my form was

horrible. “My Dad said, ‘let’s watch Shelley Black.’ I’ve been working on the way I bend my lead leg and moving my trail leg in a circle, not having it flat out.” PIAA TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS (Results of Wyoming Valley Conference athletes) CLASS 3A BOYS Saturday's Medalist Gavin Colley, Tunk., 100, 5th of 8, 11.11 Gavin Colley, Tunk., 200, 8th of 8, 22.95 Other Final Result Connor Flaherty, Co., high jump, T18th of 24, 6-0 Saturday's Semifinals Gavin Colley, Tunk, 100, 4th of 16, 11.10 Gavin Colley, Tunk, 200, 5th of 16, 22.33 Seth Tarselli, HR, 200, 11th of 16, 22.86 CLASS 2A BOYS Saturday's Medalists Holy Redeemer, 400 relay, 4th of 8, 43.28 A.J.

Surviving third round, Palmer leads by shot Texas native holds onto Byron Nelson lead despite two bogeys the last three holes. By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

IRVING, Texas — Ryan Palmer sat down after finishing his third round and put his head down on the table. He was exhausted — and still leading — after a 3-over 73 on a gusty day at the Byron Nelson Championship. The Texas native who made the cut only once in his first seven appearances at Lord Byron’s tournament, took a one-stroke lead over Sergio Garcia into the final round after surviving a sunsoaked but brutal day for scoring Saturday at TPC Four Seasons. “We chalked it up as a hard day of golf,” Palmer said. “If you had told me Thursday I was going to have a one-shot lead, I would have called you a liar and said whatever. But my bad round is out of the way, I think, and I still lead by one.” Even with two bogeys the last three holes, Palmer finished a stroke ahead of playing partner Garcia after the two started the day tied. Garcia shot a 74 while also making bogeys at the 16th and 18th holes, where he missed makable putts. “It was definitely hard. At the same time I have to say I got nothing out of my round,” Garcia said. “I could not shoot one shot higher than I did. So if you look at it that way, and I’m only one shot behind Ryan, and I have tomor-

line for the victory until he surrendered a solo home run to Pena with two-out in the eighth. Volquez pitched 7-2/3 innings, his longest outing since last Sept. 21, in his first start with the Bats this spring. Volquez’s counterpart, Andrew Brackman, could not match Volquez’s effectiveness. The righthander continued his recent stretch of wildness. Though he struck out a season-high eight, he also allowed a season-high six walks in 4-1/3 innings. It’s the fourth time in his last six starts that he’s allowed at least five walks, and he has not won during that stretch. Brackman’s wildness cost him most in the third. He started the inning by hitting Corky Miller, then issued walks to Brent Clevlen and Negron to load the bases. After a strikeout, Yonder Alonso – who had only one hit in his last 21at- bats – ripped a single to give the Bats a 2-1 lead. HOW THEY SCORED YANKEES FIRST: Austin Krum tripled. Ramiro Pena sin-

row, I think it’s pretty positive.” The last three holes at TPC Four Seasons played into the wind, sustained all day at 25 mph with gusts near 40. “Obviously the scores show how hard it was,” Palmer said. “Bad, hard day, that is for sure. I hit it pretty good I felt, but it’s hard to hit some of these tee balls... Just a hard round of golf.” Conditions are expected to be similar for the final round Sunday. Only eight of 74 players shot under par Saturday, and there were no bogey-free rounds. The best round was a 67 by Argon Atwal that tied him with Ryuji Imada (70) for third place at 3 under. “Par’s really good on every hole, and I’m just lucky to shoot 67,” Atwal said after his round with six birdies and three bogeys. “You catch the wrong gust and you could be in serious trouble.” Garcia missed a 5-foot par putt on the 535-yard 16th hole, where Palmer also bogeyed after missing the fairway with his tee shot. Palmer, who is letting caddie James Edmondson call the shots this week, missed the fairway again at No. 18 and two-putted from 27 feet once he got on the green. Garcia hit his drive way right and still had a chance to covert an 81⁄2-foot par-saver that would have put him back in a share for the lead. Garcia began the week with an infected fingernail on his left ring finger that forced him to withdraw from a British Open qualifier after just five holes. He didn’t have any practice rounds at TPC Four Seasons before opening with consecutive 66s. gled, scoring Krum. Jesus Montero grounded into a double play, Pena out at second.

Howard mows down Mets in 8th The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Ryan Howard hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning and Cole Hamels finally beat a familiar nemesis, pitching the Philadelphia Phillies past the slumping New York Mets 5-2 on Saturday night. Hamels (7-2) struck out a season-high 10 and walked none over seven innings to win his third straight outing and improve to 3-9 in 15 career games against the Mets. The left-hander had lost five consecutive starts against them. This time, he recovered from a shaky start to retire his final 11 batters — five by strikeout — without allowing a ball out of the infield. Jose Contreras worked a perfect eighth and Ryan Madson got three quick outs for his 11th save in as many tries. Philadelphia pitchers set down the last 17 Mets after Ronny Paulino’s fourth-inning single.

Shelley Duncan pinches in for Tribe The Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Shelley Duncan and Orlando Cabrera each had two RBIs, Carlos Carrasco pitched six solid innings and the Cleveland Indians beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-3 on Saturday. Duncan, who was pinchhitting, and Cabrera both had two-run singles during the eighth to put Cleveland ahead 7-2. Duncan had a bases-loaded drive off J.P. Howell that hit high off the left-field wall, but he was held to a single because it looked like outfielder Sam Fuld might be able to catch the ball. Carrasco (4-2) gave up two runs and seven hits, helping the AL Central-leading Indians end a three-game losing streak. Cleveland had been outscored 23-4 during the short skid. Blue Jays 9, White Sox 8, 14 innings

TORONTO — Corey Patterson hit a game-ending homer in the 14th inning, Jose Bautista connected for his major league-leading 20th home run and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 9-8 on Saturday.

Swarzak, a late fill-in on the mound for Francisco Liriano, gave up a one-out double in the eighth to Peter Bourjos for the Angels’ first hit. Liriano, who pitched a no-hitter May 3, was scratched the day before because of shoulder soreness. Red Sox-Tigers game postponed

DETROIT — The game between the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers has been postponed because of rain. The third game of the series didn’t start on Saturday night. It was postponed after a delay of 1 hour, 25 minutes. Light rain began to fall about 10 minutes after the scheduled start and it quickly got heavier without much relief in sight on radar maps. The game will be made up in a day-night double-header Sunday. The first game will begin at 1:05 p.m. and the second at 7:05 p.m.

Jets’ DeVito using lockout to give faith a workout

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com

By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Sports Writer

RANDOLPH, N.J. — Mike DeVito cleared his throat a few times, took a couple of steps from behind the lectern and looked out at the dozens of people seated in front of him. This was no locker room speech or game huddle for the New York Jets defensive lineman. DeVito was giving his first sermon at a church filled with congregants looking for spiritual guidance from their special guest. “I was nervous, brother,” DeVito acknowledged a few moments after his passionate presentation last Sunday. “But I think it turned out OK.” No doubt about it. Just as he has for Rex Ryan’s defense the past few seasons, DeVito got the job done. “He seemed very comfortable engaging the crowd,” said Jets left tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson, who was there to support his teammate. “It seemed like he had done this before. To see him doing God’s work and be so excited, it’s just great.” A devout Christian who is considering a post-football career as perhaps a youth minister or pastor, the 26-year-old DeVito was part-teacher and part-preacher as he spoke about the meaning of faith for about 20 minutes at RCC — a Relevant Christian Church — complete with a PowerPoint presentation. He also threw in a few jokes that drew a roomful of chuckles, and several of his points were met with an approving “Amen!” or “You’re right!” “I’m so proud of him,” DeVito’s wife, Jessie, said with a huge smile as several people hugged and thanked her husband a few feet away. While so much focus during the NFL’s strange offseason has been on the contentious lockout and how players are staying in shape while they wait to go back to work, DeVito has been using some of that extra time to strengthen his faith. “He delivered a great message,” said church member Jay Trevorrow of Flanders, N.J. “I think God has great plans for him.” DeVito has been working closely with Morning Star New York associate pastor Adam Burt, a former NHL defenseman who has served as the Jets’ chaplain for three years. DeVito regularly studies the Bible and pretty much anything else he can get his hands on that helps him learn more about living and teaching

AP P HOTO

New York Jets defensive lineman Mike DeVito gives his first sermon at a church service in Randolph, N.J. DeVito, a devout Christian, is considering a post-football career as a youth minister or pastor. The 26-year-old DeVito spoke for 20 minutes about the meaning of faith.

as a Christian. “When I saw Michael’s heart, he has a real passion in it,” said Burt, also the itinerant pastor at RCC. “As much of a mountain of a man as he is, he loves people deeply. I had no idea that his heart would be like, ’Hey, someday I might like to do this,’ but the closer I get to him, I can definitely see the call of God being on his life and that’s exciting.” Burt also recently had DeVito speak to athletes at West Point and Columbia University about making religion a major part of their lives. And, DeVito said, this is only the beginning. “I feel that with this platform God has given me, it has allowed me to meet people, reach out to kids and be in situations where football facilitates it, but it allows me to talk about God,” DeVito said. “I love talking to the youth and trying to set the right example because if you can set a good foundation right from the start, it’s going to help them avoid so many problems down the line.” DeVito is a friendly guy with the media, a quiet and easygoing presence in a Jets locker room filled with players who speak their minds, just like their coach. “But when it comes to his faith in God, if you come and talk to him about that, he’s a totally different person,” said Jets tight end Matthew Mulligan, who has been best friends with DeVito since their days together at the University of Maine. “In college, he would never be able to get up and talk in front of people like Sunday. It’s just been a big transformation that I’ve been able to see.” It all started a few years ago for DeVito, who grew up in a nonreligious Italian home in Massachusetts. He was hanging out in his

apartment during his junior year at Maine when two Mormon missionaries showed up at his door. “When I first saw them coming, I really don’t like to be mean to anybody, so when they asked to come in, I was like, ’All right,”’ he recalled. “Not because I wanted to hear about God, but it was more like I didn’t want to just turn these guys away.” Well, DeVito kept listening and that visit turned into several more. For the first time, he realized he had to make changes: no more drinking and partying; no more living with his then-girlfriend; no more scoffing at religion. “They had a good idea of who Jesus is, and that’s what I needed at the time,” he said. “I’m not a Mormon, but they knew Jesus and they gave me that foundation.” It was also during this time in 2006 when DeVito’s friend, Mark Stetson, was slain. DeVito called it “my eye-opening experience.” “When I got up to that coffin and saw a 23-year-old man dead,” DeVito recalled, “it was like, ’Whoa. Man, this isn’t guaranteed. I can’t think I can take care of this on my own time. It’s not about my time. It’s God’s time.’ “There was no turning back.” The defensive lineman confided in Mulligan, who was raised as a Christian, and the two moved in together and helped each other with their faith. When DeVito signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2007, teammates Kenyon Coleman and James Dearth served as spiritual mentors. DeVito and his best friend were reunited as teammates two years later when the Jets signed Mulligan as a free agent.

Barcelona captures Champions League crown Lionel Messi has big day as his team claims its third crown in six years. STUART CONDIE AP Sports Writer

WEMBLEY, England — Lionel Messi scored one goal and created another Saturday, leading Barcelona to a 3-1 victory over Manchester United and a third Champions League title in six years. Barcelona dominated play at Wembley with trademark onetouch passing, but the Spanish champions needed the Argentine striker to conjure a 54th-minute solo strike from the edge of the penalty area to take the lead for the second time.

There seemed to be no space as Messi was tracked by fullback Patrice Evra. But the two-time world player of the year spotted a gap between the central defenders and hit a shot down the middle, beating goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. Messi followed his 53rd goal of a remarkable season with a fake and run that led to David Villa taking possession on the edge of the area. From there, the Spain striker curled a shot into the top corner of the net. With Pedro Rodriguez scoring the opening goal midway through the first half from an imaginative through ball from Xavi Hernandez, the win was as comprehensive as Barcelona’s 2-0 victory over United in the final two years ago.

Wayne Rooney’s goal in the 34th minute for United left the score 1-1 at halftime. Rooney carried the ball to the edge of the area, slipping it to Ryan Giggs. Giggs knocked it back, giving Rooney the perfect opportunity to curl a shot past goalkeeper Victor Valdes at the far post. It was said before the game that Barcelona, which already had won a third straight Spanish league title, would be ranked among soccer’s truly great teams with a victory over United. Now, with four European titles, only Liverpool, AC Milan and Barcelona’s fierce rival Real Madrid have won more. The performance was so comfortable that Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was able to bring on

umph. But in a gesture symbolizing Barcelona’s team ethic, Puyol handed the armband over to Eric Abidal. His place on the team had been in doubt after he had surgery this season to remove a liver tumor — and the France defender lifted the famous trophy. After a shaky opening, Barcelona simply outclassed the English champions. Xavi, standing in as captain for Puyol, orchestrated play from in front of Sergio Busquets, while Andres Iniesta and Messi tormented United with pinAP PHOTO point passing. United did improve on its perBarcelona’s Lionel Messi celebrates after winning the Champions formance in Rome two years ago. League final match against Manchester United on Saturday.

Bruins have eyes set on Cup win

Players refuse to touch Prince of Wales trophy after winning Eastern Conference finals. JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

Title would cap Wade’s wild year From lawsuits to divorce, Miami star has been through a lot in last 52 weeks.

TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer

MIAMI — Only a year ago, everything in Dwyane Wade’s life was uncertain. Former business partners had brought a combination of civil lawsuits, seeking somewhere around $100 million in what they said was the earnings potential of some failed deals. His yearslong divorce battle was still unsettled. Another courtroom fight was looming for custody of his two sons. And the free-agent period was fast-approaching. “Very long year,” Wade said Saturday. “Very, very long year.” Alas, it comes with a very, very sweet opportunity to close this chapter. Wade is heading back to the NBA finals for the second time. When his Miami Heat open the series at home against the Dallas Mavericks — the franchise they beatin2006aswell—onTuesday night, it’ll be exactly 52 weeks after the four civil suits were settled in what was an overwhelming victory for his side. With that, everything started falling into place. Wadegothisdivorce.Hestayed in Miami. He got LeBron James andChrisBoshtojoinhim.Hegot Udonis Haslem to stay with him. He got custody of his kids. The Heat won 58 games, endured some major bumps along the way, needed only 10 games to get past Chicago and Boston on the way to the Eastern Conference title, and now stand four wins from the ring. “This would be the capper,” said Tragil Wade, the Heat star’s sister. “My mom has been saying this since his 29th birthday in January: ’This will be the year and he will be rewarded. It’ll be in his favor. It will end in his favor.’ So even now, it’s all about belief. We’ve always had belief. When

things are good, when things are bad, we always have to have belief.” The first championship was great, sure. After the last 12 months, for Wade, a second title would be monumentally more enjoyable. “I know him better than anybody and I saw the toll that it kind of took on him,” Haslem said of the past year for one of his closest friends. “Through all that, he stayed professional. I think he’s used basketball as an outlet, as many of us do, and when it was all over and he was fortunate enough to get custody of his kids, I saw a light just shining around him.” That light hasn’t always been there, of course. Wade’s story is well-known, starting with an incredibly rough upbringing in Chicago, leaning on his sister as the maternal influence for many years when his mother — Jolinda, now a minister who turned her own life around — wasn’t there for her children for an array of reasons. Basketball was the escape, taking him away from the problems in Chicago to Marquette, then from Marquette to Miami. It has given him wealth and fame, and now — after a season unlike any other, where the Heat were as scrutinized as perhaps any team in NBA history — it has brought him to the cusp of a second championship.

feeling that today. That’s a great feeling.” Although four of the first six games of the conference finals were high-scoring affairs that left both goaltenders struggling for answers — and left Tampa Bay’s Dwayne Roloson on the bench — the finale was defensive duel with no penalties at all. Lightning coach Guy Boucher said the entire game felt like sudden-death overtime, and it might as well have been. Horton’s goal allowed the Boston fans to celebrate, but it wasn’t until the final seconds ticked off the clock that the players streamed over the boards and fans began showering the ice with souvenir towels. The Bruins surrounded Tim Thomas to congratulate him on his second shut-

out of the series, and no one seemed happier than backup goalie Tuukka Rask, who has not played in the postseason. “Tuukka was like mugging about 10 guys,” Chiarelli said. “He was moving around the most and jumping on guys. So that was just kind of funny.” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly brought out the conference trophy — Boston’s first since 1990 — but Chara was only mildly interested in the shiny bauble. “I thought it would be great to have all the guys with it,” he said. “It’s a team thing. It’s something I decided to do and everybody liked it.”

It’s Virginia vs. Maryland for NCAA title The Associated Press

BALTIMORE — Steele Stanwick had three goals and two assists, leading seventh-seeded Virginia to a 14-8 victory over No. 6 seed Denver in the NCAA Division I men’s lacrosse semifinals Saturday. The Cavaliers (12-5) will meet unseeded Maryland (13-4) in Monday’s finals. The Terps, who received 13 saves from keeper Niko Amato to anchor a stingy defense, defeated fifth-seeded Duke, 9-4, in the other semifinal. The four-time champion Cavaliers seized control early in their 22nd appearance in the final four. Denver (15-3) was making its first appearance in the semifinals. Amato, a redshirt freshman, made seven saves in the first half to help the Terps to a 5-2 lead. He got great support from his defenders — Max Schmidt, Brett Schmidt and Ryder Bohlander — who held Duke (14-6) scoreless for stretches of more than 18 minutes in the first half and 22 minutes in the second half.

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade jokes around during a practice session Saturday in Miami.

BOSTON — The Prince of Wales trophy sat untouched on a table in the middle of the ice. It’s not the one that Zdeno Chara is hoping to take for a skate. Instead, the Boston Bruins captain waved his teammates over to pose for a picture. “I liked the touch that Zee had, bringing the group around the trophy. I haven’t seen that before,” general manager Peter Chiarelli said Saturday, a day after the Bruins beat Tampa Bay 1-0 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals to earn a chance to play for the Stanley Cup. “You know, it was just a good time. It was a good moment, just for the organization, and it was a feelgood moment. So I was able to enjoy that for a little bit.” Tim Thomas stopped 24 shots for his third career playoff shutout — his second of the conference finals — and Nathan Horton deflected a pass from David Krejci into the net with 7:33 left for the only goal. With that, the Bruins earned the right to play the Vancouver Canucks for their first Stanley Cup since 1972. “It was a special feeling,” Chiarelli said. “You look over and see the ice, see these guys and watch how they celebrate, how they, how emotional they are. You felt good for them, you really felt good for them. ... Then immediately after that feeling passed, I realized that we have a chance to win the Stanley Cup. And I’m still

Penske’s 2-car team is an enigma MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CONCORD, N.C. — To hear Kurt Busch talk, his race team is struggling mightily and maybe some behind-the-scenes changes will save the season. Then there’s Brad Keselowski, excited about three weeks of progress that have him enjoying his best stretch yet in NASCAR’s elite Sprint Cup Series. That’s the enigma that is Penske Racing right now. Keselowski will start the Coca-Cola 600 from the pole, while defending race winner Busch will go off 26th in today’s race. Keselowski doesn’t sugarcoat things, and readily admits the NASCAR side of Penske’s motorsports operation has areas that need improvement. But he does it thoughtfully and with an eagerness that good things are coming. Busch is quite the opposite. He’s beyond being hopeful, and his assessments and outlook both seem dreary. He’s also angry with the media for harping on his in-race radio communications, which have gone from maniacal rants to near despondency over the last month. It’s created the good cop-bad cop perception, even though both drivers want the same thing. “He definitely has a different approach,” Keselowski said. “To be honest, if he didn’t have that approach, I probably would adopt it because you keep trying different things until you get what you want. I spent all last year being quiet and not saying, ’Hey, this car is really, really bad’ to the media. But they were really, really bad. “At the same time, Kurt was running well and I didn’t have a leg to stand on with that. This year, obviously my cars have gotten better. Kurt has had his strug-

gles. But it’s somewhat refreshing to have someone that can speak up have a voice, have the credibility of being a past champion and past winner and those around him perhaps listen more intently.” Busch apparently does make things happen behind the scenes. His radio tirade at Richmond earlier this month was epic, and the fallout led to some serious organizational meetings that Busch believed would spur some changes. Less than two weeks later, technical director Tom German left the organization in what the team said was a long-planned opportunity to attend an elite graduate program at MIT. “There were people that had good things to say about him and people that had bad things to say about him,” Keselowski said of German. “Either way, the change there has opened doors that would have never opened before. The jury is still out whether that’s good or bad.” It’s such a far cry from Roger Penske’s esteemed IndyCar operation, which will attempt to win its 16th Indianapolis 500 today. Will Power, who will start from the second row, has two wins this

season and leads the points standings. Teammates Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe have struggled at times this season and this month at Indy, and Briscoe will race in a backup. Back in NASCAR, the two Penske teams have been all over the map. Busch opened the season as the driver to beat at Daytona, winning two exhibition races leading into the season-opener. Top-10 finishes in the first four races made him the points leader for two weeks, but he hasn’t had a top-10 since and has dropped to eighth in the standings. Despite the drop-off, which has left Busch clearly frustrated, he begins each weekend with optimism only to learn shortly after the green flag that his car is not capable of contending for a win. “I feel like we have to go into each race optimistic and positive so that you can find good results,” Busch said. “At the end of the day, Roger Penske and I agree that as long as you put yourself in position to do well, no matter what the outcome is, those are good days. But when you’re running 15th just clawing to hang onto the

sport that produced such giants as A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and Rick Mears found itself relegated to niche status. Heck, there were even empty seats at the Brickyard, a sight no one could have envisioned a couple of decades ago. “There was almost a lost generation,” Andretti moaned. “There were those 15 years where things were precarious, at best.” Now, there’s a semblance of hope. Two new manufacturers will enter the series in 2012, powering a futuristic new machine. The field for this year’s 500 is undoubtedly deeper and more talented than it has been since the glory days. Sponsorships are up, attendance is improving and an energetic new leader seems willing to try anything that might bring more attention to the sport. In a sense, today’s race can be seen as a jumping-off point to a new era (and, no, we’re not talking about the giant orange ramp set up on the infield for a Hot Wheels promotional stunt before the green flag waves). “I’m proud of the series for what we’ve done, for all the hard work we’ve put in,” said Danica Patrick, who has just one win in her career but remains the only driver widely known outside of IndyCar circles. Of course, the fact that everyone is wondering whether Patrick will bolt to a more profitable gig in NASCAR next year shows the checkered flag remains in the distance. No matter what happens, there’s still plenty of work to be done. A third of the field is composed of part-time drivers, most of whom are doing Indy-only deals and hope it leads to something bigger Look at Dan Wheldon, a former race winner who should be in the prime of his career. He was squeezed out of his last job, and this is the only sure thing on his schedule in 2011. Look at Townsend Bell, who has finished as high as fifth at Indy and will start

CONCORD, N.C. — Matt Kenseth passed Roush Fenway Racing teammate Carl Edwards with two laps to go and hung on to win Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Kenseth and Edwards exchanged the lead with five laps left in the 300-mile race, but Edwards couldn’t counter Kenseth’s final pass on the inside. Kenseth was filling in for Trevor Bayne, who has been sidelined with an inflammatory condition, in the No. 16 Ford and was making his only Nationwide start of the season. Bayne is expected to return to competition next week. Edwards, who was running low on fuel, hung on to finish second in what’s been an impressive week for his race team. Edwards won last week’s AllStar race on the same track. Fellow Sprint Cup regular Kyle Busch was third, failing to tie Mark Martin (49) for the most wins in the Nationwide Series. A week after becoming the first non-Sprint Cup driver to win a Nationwide race this season and a day before he makes his Sprint Cup debut, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished fourth after captured the pole in the morning qualifying.

from the inside of the second row. Asked what’s on his schedule for the rest of the year, he replied, “Well, there’s Christmas. And New Year’s, I guess.” Good line, but not good for IndyCar. “I stopped many years ago trying to rationalize or problemsolve the racing industry,” Bell said. “I’m resigned to the fact that if I just go out and win the damn race, everything else will probably take care of itself.” Randy Bernard, who was brought in from the Professional Bull Riders series to bring some pizazz to IndyCar, has certainly shown he’s willing to shake thing up. One of his changes — double-file restarts, which are used in NASCAR — has drawn the ire of the drivers. They see them as impractical with the high-speed, open-wheel machines, which can’t go banging into each other like the good ol’ boys. Tagliani, the surprising polewinner, was one of the most outspoken critics. He fears that today’s race could turn into a gruesome crashfest. He even went so far as to raise the possibility of debris flying into the stands and injuring someone in the massive crowd of more than 200,000. “I don’t want to be responsible for that,” the Canadian said. “If our wheels touch while we’re racing side-by-side, all of a sudden cars are going to be flipping.” IndyCar officials have promised extra sweeping in the corners during caution periods to provide a wider racing groove, but they appear unwilling to back off from the double-file concept. If nothing else, it has given people something to talk about, which might have been the main purpose all along. “It’s brought a lot of new controversy and attention to the sport, in a good and positive way,” Bernard said. Patrick could be making her final start at the 500 if, as most people expect, she moves full time to stock cars in 2012. While coy about her future, she denied a report that a tentative NASCAR deal was already in place and insisted she has not made a final decision. “We’re very far from the finish line on any of that,” she said.

Discovering wild trout By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

Bow Creek is a deceiving stream. Flowing through numerous housing developments and a large industrial park in Wright Township, Bow Creek isn’t in the perfect location to provide a home to a naturally reproducing wild trout population. But it is. And so are 85 others in Luzerne County. For the last year, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has been assessing streams throughout the state to determine if they hold populations of wild trout. Dubbed the Unassessed Waters Initiative, the PFBC utilizes the manpower of local colleges, including King’s College, and conservation groups in assessing the nearly 45,000 waterways in the state that have never been studied for wild trout. So far, naturally reproducing wild trout have been found in 3,650 waterways statewide, and 86 are in Luzerne County. “I think it’s a great number for a county with a large urban area,” said Larry Bundy, regional supervisor for the PFBC’s Northeast Region. The designation has regulatory significance because wetlands that are located in or along the floodplain of the reach of a wild trout stream are considered “exceptional value” by the state Department of Environmental Protection and are entitled to the highest level of pro-

who represents the northeast region, expects more streams to be added in the near future. The volunteers also reassess streams and in some cases waterways are removed from the list if they don’t meet the criteria for a naturally reproducing trout population. “We haven’t undertaken anything of this magnitude before because we didn’t have the money or the manpower,” Gavlick said. “There’s no way we could do this without the help of other agencies and schools.” As far as angling opportunities go, just because a stream is added to the wild trout list doesn’t mean it is open to public fishing. Bundy said many of the waterways are on privately owned property and anglers should ask permission.

tection by DEP. The list is also the primary tool that the PFBC has to protect wild trout populations because the list must be consulted by agencies such as the DEP and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission when reviewing permit applications to do work in the area. Last week the PFBC board voted unanimously to add 99 additional waters to the wild trout list. One – Reyburn Creek in Jonestown – was in Luzerne County. Because the assessment is still ongoing, PFBC commissioner Norm Gavlick,

State anglers cashing in on tagged fish; 11 prize-winners caught Pennsylvania anglers have landed nearly a dozen prize-winning fish as part of Cabela’s “Wanna Go Fishing for Millions?’’ national contest, including one fish that might carry a $9,000 prize. As a partner in the contest, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission tagged fish in eight waterways across the state. OnFriday,Cabela’sconfirmedthat11tags have been submitted as part of the contest. The participants and the fish they caught are currently being verified, including one fish with a potential $9,000 award. Tagged fish have been caught in Raystown Lake, Penns Creek, Lake Nockamixon, Lake Wallenpaupack and Foster Joseph Sayers Lake. The PFBC is reminding the public that the contest coincides with the first of the agency’s Fish-For-Free Days, scheduled for

Memorial Day, Monday, May 30. On this “fishing holiday,’’ the public can fish for free anywhereinthestate.Nolicenseisrequired. In conjunction with the Cabela’s contest, the PFBC will hold Fish-for-Free events on Memorial Day at six of the waters containingtaggedfish.Theeventswillbeheldfrom 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at: NE Region: Lake Wallenpaupack (Pike and Wayne counties) — PFBC Access (Access #750 on PFBC maps).

he lake at Frances Slocum State Park is a dump. Let me explain. Last week I walked around the entire lake searching for signs of a mysterious creature that was seen by several anglers (more on that in the coming weeks). The lake and the mix of swamp and forest that border it is actually a beautiful place. Until one looks down at the ground. There is a small path that meanders around the edge of the lake, and along it are several small clearings that anglers frequent. In some of these areas, and along the path, litter is strewn on the shore and in the shallow edges of the lake. It’s the bad stuff, too. Not that any litter is good, but what has accumulated around the lake isn’t the stuff – like paper for example – that will decompose. It’s Styrofoam bait containers, plastic water bottles, aluminum cans and, worst of all, fishing line. Massive tangles of it. The discarded line snakes out of the water along the ground and through tree branches like a spider web. But there is no pattern to the monofilament web and it is far more deadly. And it’s everywhere. On the back end of the lake near Carverton Road, I spied a male mallard duck floating lazily along the edge of the shore. It was a beautiful sight as the bright sun illuminated the duck’s green head and reflected its image of the calm lake surface. But for as picture-perfect as the scene was, it also had an underlying tone of danger. Risk, if you will. By simply swimming along the shore, the mallard could easily get tangled in the strands of fishing line that were left by those too careless to pick it up. Sure, a large mallard is a powerful swimmer, but it is no match if it gets wrapped up in a ball of 8-pound test. On the way back I stuffed by pockets full of fishing line – some of it still had hooks and sinkers attached – and grabbed as many cans and containers as I could hold. Though I was packed full with litter, it didn’t put a dent in what is around the lake. It would take trash bags to do that. To shorten the trip back to my car I turned away from the lake and walked a mountain bike path toward the parking lot. And even there the litter was present. This time it mainly consisted of foil wrappers from protein bars and aluminum cans that once held energy drinks. There’s no doubt that the bulk of the litter around the 165-acre lake was left behind by anglers and mountain bikers. The evidence, unfortunately, is everywhere. Still, I know plenty of mountain bikers and I’m an angler myself, so it isn’t fair to say that all those who pedal or cast are litterbugs. It’s a small segment of each group that is responsible. Unfortunately, when it comes to littering, it only takes a minority to make a big impact. While litter might be a problem around the lake, the staff at Frances Slocum does a great job keeping many areas of the park clean and picturesque. Because of their work, the park is truly a beautiful place. But it’s unreasonable to think that the park staff should also be able to keep the woods and swamps around the lake clean as well. What is reasonable is for the users of such areas to pick up after themselves and make Frances Slocum Lake the natural jewel that it is, and not a dump.

Also, the wild trout waters are under the same regulations as approved trout waters from April 16 to Sept. 5, but between those dates the wild trout streams are catchand-release only, according to Bundy. Wild trout streams aren’t stocked, Bundy said, in order to protect the wild populations. “What we found is the competition from the stocked trout was tough on the wild populations and actually pushed them out,” Bundy said. “Stocking ends up doing more harm than good.” While it’s likely that many more streams will be added to the list as more assessments are completed, Gavlick wonders about those where wild trout populations were lost simply because no one knew they existed.

“It’s very possible had we been able to get more streams assessed and listed over the last 15 years, that perhaps some of those streams out there that had wild trout that are now gone may have still had those populations today,” he said. “These protections really do benefit wild trout, and I’m sure there’s a lot of trout swimming in our mountain streams that we don’t know about yet.” And it’s the mountain streams in particular that are the reason why Luzerne County has 86 waterways on the list, according to PFBC NE regional outreach and education coordinator Walt Dietz. “A lot of people think of Wilkes-Barre when they think of Luzerne County, but a lot of it is actually rural and mountainous,” Dietz said. “There’s a lot of places here with streams tucked back into forested areas where the water is cool and the quality is good enough to support wild trout.”

Angler: JJ Delaney Age: 3 1/2 Hometown: Wilkes-Barre What he got: Brook trout Where: At the North Branch Trout Derby in Lovelton, Wyoming County When: May 21 The story: JJ caught his first trout at the derby, along with several more later in the morning. The derby attracted more than 125 kids along with their families, and there were plenty of fish to catch for all.

Sportsmen form alliance in Marcellus Shale region As Marcellus Shale gas development increases at a rapid pace and scale across northern Appalachia, sportsmen and women in the region have joined forces and created an alliance to urge state and federal agencies and the energy industry to protect longheld hunting, fishing and trapping traditions. The Sportsmen Alliance for Marcellus Conservation (Sportsmen Alliance) is an affiliation of sportsmen and women working together to identify and mitigate the impacts of Marcellus Shale gas drilling on hunting, fishing, trapping and other outdoor sporting activities. “While there have been many concerns expressed about Marcellus Shale gas development, the voices of sportsmen and women are beginning to emerge in the public dialogue,” said Katy Dunlap, Eastern Water Project Director for Trout Unlimited (TU). “A number of key organiza-

tions have joined forces to give sportsmen and women an opportunity to be heard—so that together we can advocate for common sense policies and practices to ensure that Marcellus Shale gas development does not negatively impact sportsmen’s interests.” Members of the Sportsmen Alliance include TU and its Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Mid-Atlantic and New Jersey state councils, Theodore Gordon Flyfishers, Izaak Walton League of America and its New York and Pennsylvania state divisions, New York State Trappers Association, Quality Deer Management Association, Pennsylvania Forest Coalition and The Wildlife Society. Collectively, the Sportsmen Alliance members represent 60,000 sportsmen and women in the Marcellus Shale states. The Sportsmen Alliance is not opposed to gas drilling and recognizes its potential economic

and social benefits. Rather, it is concerned that the current state and local policies governing gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing in the Marcellus Shale do not adequately protect valuable and irreplaceable natural resources, including clean water and critical habitat for fish and wildlife. The Sportsmen Alliance has developed a set of recommendations for improving policies and practices for Marcellus Shale development, including: • Gas drilling industry exemptions under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act should be repealed; • Each state in the Marcellus Shale region should adopt a comprehensive statewide water withdrawal law; • Drilling operations should not be permitted in watersheds with special state-designated conservation status without additional regulatory requirements, review and inspection;

• High fencing and/or netting should be required around wastewater storage impoundments and well pads to reduce the possibility that wildlife will enter well pad sites and consume wastewater or other toxic chemicals. On Saturday, the Sportsmen Alliance will host the Sportsmen Marcellus Shale Summit at the University of Pittsburgh, Johnstown campus, to provide sportsmen and women with an opportunity to learn about potential impacts and discuss ways in which their interests can be protected. Communities in the Marcellus Shale region have a rich heritage of hunting, fishing, trapping and other outdoor traditions on public and private lands—the very places targeted for Marcellus Shale gas drilling. In the Marcellus states, there are more than 13 million sportsmen and women whose interests are at stake.

The temperatures are heating up this Memorial Day weekend. We've been waiting all spring for an area of low pressure to develop across the southeastern Atlantic coast, and with it ﬁnally in place, a surge of warm air is on tap. Temperatures will climb through the 80s this afternoon, to near 90 for Memorial Day, and maybe even beyond for the start of the shortened work week. Still, our forecast isn't completely in the clear. A frontal system across upstate New York may spark a few showers later this evening, and those may drift south toward our northern areas, but most will stay dry. As for tomorrow, skies should remain rain-free, but it will be muggy. The old saying of “hazy, hot and humid” will be tossed around for the ﬁrst time this year, and the heat won't let up until late Wednesday. - Ryan Coyle

On a slow course Hybrid vehicle sales not revving up

By ANDREW M. SEDER

aseder@timesleader.com

s gas prices raced toward $4 a gallon this spring, local residents did not race to area automobile dealers in search of hybrid vehicles.

While they’ve sold briskly in many markets across the

country the past few months, sales are non-existent or very low at many local lots. “I would be hard pressed to tell you the last one we sold,” said Blake Gagliardi, sales manager at Valley Chevrolet in Wilkes-Barre Township. “We just don’t sell them.” When gas prices hovered at or above the $4 mark three years ago, sales of compact cars skyrocketed. Some thought the same would happen with hybrid sales during the recent flirtation with $4 but it never happened — at least here. “In this market, hybrids aren’t as big a deal,” said Steve Ubaldini, the general manager at Wyoming Valley Motors in Larksville. He said the rough terrain, hilly landscape and lots of interstate driving are not the ideal situation for hybrids. “They’re generally not a practical

solution around here,” Ubaldini said. “Hybrids are good for city driving but on the highways they’re less efficient.” Jeff Berger, whose family owns the Berger Family Dealership in Hazle Township, said his dealership sells very few and rarely stocks them because of poor sales. He said the area loves SUVs and pickup trucks and the weather is not conducive to smaller vehicles. Even when his dealership stocked larger hybrid models like the Cadillac Escalade or the GMC Yukon, they “were very difficult to sell.” Berger said customers “don’t even ask” about hybrid models at See HYBRID, Page 3D

Driven to a different fuel source By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

Local hotelier Gus Genetti said that fueling America’s vehicles with natural gas is an idea whose time has come. And he’s putting his money where his heart is. Genetti has spent more than $12,000 for billboards in the Williamsport, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton areas urging Congress to take a serious look at the alternative fuel and “reduce our dependency on foreign oil.” “It’s a matter of philosophy,” said Genetti, 72. “Not sending money to the Arab countries so they cannot finance terrorism.” He said finding an alternative to foreign oil “is the smart, proud and patriotic thing to do.” Genetti wanted to send a message that he practices what he preaches and went looking for natural gas fueled vehicles two years ago. What he found was that they exist, but not locally. And even if he were to buy one, fueling them would be an issue. So he purchased a used 2009 Cadillac Escalade that runs on gasoline. “It’s the chicken and egg,” Genet-

INVESTORS TRYING to duck a blow from the stock market by moving to bonds may be positioning themselves to take a left jab that they didn’t see coming. As the economy has weakened lately, investors pulled about $3 billion from stock funds and poured more than $8 billion into bond funds — presumably for safekeeping. It’s a continuation of a trend that began during the stock market crash, when nervous investors yanked about $200 billion from stock funds and added $340 billion to bond funds. Yet, while investors may be trying to protect their money, they have been pouring cash into high-yield bonds, which are the riskiest and the most likely to plunge along with stocks if the economy takes a turn for the worse. In addition, even some of the supposedly mild-mannered, diversified bond funds that investors buy for wellrounded, core exposure to bonds, may not be the carefree choices people envision. With safe U.S. Treasury bonds paying little interest, some fund managers have become more daring and added more high-yield and emerging-market bonds than usual to spice up returns for income-starved investors. “This is part of the engineering of the Fed,” said James Swanson, chief investment strategist for MFS Investments, who recently cut exposure to high-yield bonds as the economy’s growth rate appeared to slow. “They are forcing people to take on more risk through preferred stock, junkier companies and foreign bonds. If there is a contraction in the economy, defaults could rise.” During the past two years, the average fund that invests in intermediateterm government bonds has provided investors just 4.17 percent a year, while the average high-yield bond fund has paid about 23 percent, according to Lipper. Those extraordinary gains have given investors a sense of security as they’ve sought solace from the painful stock losses of 2008 and early 2009. But those gains have the potential to cut the other way in a downturn — leaving losses people wouldn’t expect from a faithful fund. High-yield bonds come from companies with shaky finances, and amid economic weakness those firms can have trouble paying investors back. Besides high-yield risk, funds are investing more in foreign bonds and making bets on currencies that could turn out to either help or hurt investors. Gyrations in the value of the dollar and currencies are difficult to predict. Until recently, few diversified bond funds would have made these bets, said bond analyst Eric Jacobson, of Morningstar. Pimco led the way and has expertise, but Jacobson said investors should make sure their funds have the “depth and breadth” to handle the complexity. Losses in diversified bond funds, which hold an array of tame and risky bonds, are not common, but they do happen — especially when fund managers have taken on extra risks prior to a downturn in the economy. Morningstar fund analyst Miriam Sjoblom has raised similar concerns. She recently noted that public filings show funds such as Janus Flexible Bond, Delaware Diversified Income and Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond devoting close to 20 percent of their assets to high-yield corporate bonds in early 2011. Meanwhile, she said, T. Rowe Price High Yield and Western Asset High Yield have trimmed their fund’s exposure to some of the riskiest bonds, rated CCC. If inflation and interest rates rise and investors can get higher yields in safe U.S. Treasury bonds they may sell high-yield bonds and pick Treasurys instead, undermining the value of the riskier bonds.

Prices at pump build demand for natural gas cars

cles in less than three years, he said the logical first step should be for the federal government to offer incentives for trucking firms to make the switch. “Trucks are the biggest payback. They’re the low-hanging fruit,” Genetti said. “If I were a fleet owner, I’d do it immediately.” He said the price for the natural gas equivalent of one gallon of gas ranges from $1.30 to $2.70. He said trucks operating on diesel could see a huge savings immediately. And that means less foreign oil would be purchased, but plenty of domestic natural gas would be, meaning profits stay at home and it’s cleaner burning, which is good for the environment. “Natural gas is the cat’s meow. It just makes sense,” Genetti said. He said while gas prices were quickly marching toward $4 a gallon, he was keeping his fingers crossed they’d go even higher. “I was hoping for $5 a gallon

his dealership. “It’s not taking off (here) like it is in other parts of the country,” Berger said. One spokesman for a local dealer told a different story when it came to hybrid sales, but it also helps that some of the most popular hybrid models — including the Toyota Prius — are on his lots. John Quinn, marketing director for Motor World, said sales have been strong locally. “As quick as they’re building them, we’re selling them,” said Quinn. Motor World sells 14 different brands of vehicles, including Honda, which has the Civic hybrid, Toyota, which has the Camry and Prius, and Lexus, which has the CT 200h. He said sales, which number more than 100 annually, are ris-

By JERRY HIRSCH Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — With the future of gasoline prices uncertain, cars and trucks that run on compressed natural gas — fuel that’s about half the cost of gasoline — are getting another look. Los Angeles commercial real estate broker Ted Simpson recently snapped up a Honda that runs on CNG, which in the U.S. has been better known for powering public transit buses and delivery trucks. “I did not want to be hostage to what I believe will be rapidly escalating oil and gasoline prices,” said Simpson, who drives hundreds of miles a week, covering a territory that ranges from San Diego in the south to Santa Barbara in the north. He’s been able to fill up his vehicle for the equivalent of about $2.25 a gallon. CNG costs about $2.10 to $2.70 at Southern California filling stations. For the moment, Honda is the only major automaker selling natural gas passenger cars in the U.S. Honda, which makes the CNG-powered Civic GX in Indiana, has sold a record number so far this year. Although the volume was small — 643 — it was almost triple the number sold during the same period a year earlier, and the company expects to run out of the cars this summer as it gets ready to sell a larger, redesigned version this fall. The current version gets the equivalent of 24 miles per gallon in city driving and 36 mpg on the highway. The nextgeneration vehicle is expected to have better fuel economy. Honda wants to double annual production to at least 2,000 and maybe more, depending on parts availability from earthquake-stricken Japan. The cars list for $25,490

for gas,” Genetti said, noting he’s sure he’ll take grief from people, especially his colleagues in the travel business. “Short term pain, long term gain.” He said unfortunately in America, breaking points must be passed for major changes to happen. He said if gas prices skyrocketed, the uproar would lead to something, like pushing Congress to seek alternative fuels and incentivize their use. Genetti had harsh words for elected officials who have continued to watch Americans pay for gas, which in turn gives money to unfriendly nations. He said natural gas technology exists and Congress is aware of

it, but has done little to push it. “The reason it hasn’t developed is because of political will, or lack,” Genetti said. He said if Congress would push for natural gas vehicles and fueling stations, and back it up with incentives for people and companies to buy them, it would work. He pointed to hybrids and electric cars, both of which have had tax credits and incentives encouraging people to buy them. While Genetti readily admits natural gas conversion would be costly, he said the price is worth it. “Sending money over there is not good for this country,” Ge-

netti said. He also said natural gas is not “going to be the end game. But we need a transition, and that’s what this is.” “Natural gas could be now. All we need to do is develop our infrastructure. That can be done overnight if we have the will to do it.” He said getting companies to install natural gas fueling stations at strategic locations along the nation’s interstates, while at the same time letting vehicle manufacturers and trucking firms know that they’re on the horizon would spur action. “I think it’s an idea whose time has come. Many people who are enlightened in America understand it makes sense.”

ing each year. “Interest is growing locally,” he said. And gas prices aren’t the only reason. He said often when a new technology hits the market, people are apprehensive to spend more money on an unknown entity. “People at first weren’t so sure how long a battery life would last,” Quinn said. But a few years into the hybrid revolution and with technology improving, people are buying into the hybrid movement. True Electric Cars The next step in that evolution, Gagliardi said, will hit the market in July. The Chevy Volt, a vehicle Gagliardi called “a true hybrid,” arrives at Valley Chevrolet and other General Motors dealers in the region in about six to eight weeks. Unlike the hybrids on the market now, Gagliardi said the Volts are worth the extra money. Also unlike the hybrids on the

market now, Gagliardi said there is a definite interest in the Volt locally. “We have a lot of people coming in, asking questions. So far, the dealer has preordered three Volts. “People are going to buy every one that we get,” he said matterof-factly. Ubaldini, at Wyoming Valley Motors, said that with most hybrids, “you probably never get your money back for what you spend.” The gas savings just aren’t significant enough to warrant the extra cost of the vehicle. Gagliardi said unlike other hybrids, the Volts are true electric cars that can travel up to 40 miles on a single charge, no gas required. Even with a price tag of $40,000, he said they will sell with ease. The gas savings, unlike those realized with other “hybrids,” are tangible and real with the Volt, he said. “Electric is definitely coming,”

said Ubaldini. He said manufactures are telling dealers that by 2020, “a big percent of sales will be electric.” But for that to happen, Ubaldini said batteries need to be able to go 300 miles per charge “for people to really consider it.” The Diesel Option While hybrid sales are hot and cold, and electric car sales are a great unknown, sales of another type of engine are strong Ubaldini said passenger vehicles with diesel engines are “red hot.” He said he is selling “as many as I can get. They don’t sit around.” While hybrids have a reputation as being fuel efficient and environmentally friendly, he said it’s the new diesel vehicles that fit that bill. “They’re much, much more fuel efficient than a hybrid,” he said, noting that Wyoming Valley Motors has sold more than 100 this year already.

and are sold at 139 dealers in 33 states. Honda plans to certify more dealers to service and sell the cars this year, pushing it into more regions where there are natural gas filling stations, Honda spokesman Eric Rosenberg said. Simpson said there are enough freeway-close natural gas filling stations to make driving the vehicles in Southern California practical. “The interest in this car has grown significantly,” Rosenberg said, which is why the automaker plans to pack it with more options, such as a navigation system and rear stereo speakers and aluminum wheels. Many consumers also install home filling stations in their garages, connecting a natural gas pump to their existing gas piping. That slices the cost of the fuel to the equivalent of about $1.43 a gallon. But the pump is expensive — about $6,000 for the device and installation, minus a $1,000 federal tax credit for the purchase of a natural gas vehicle home refueling system. Ford Motor Co. Chief Executive Alan Mulally said natural gas technology hasn’t caught on domestically because automakers find it too difficult to make a cost-competitive passenger car with the type of trunk space and interior that consumers expect.

Graduates fight to upgrade from first job By PATRICIA KITCHEN Newsday

MELVILLE, N.Y. — Katie Hennes’ dream had been to become a Spanish teacher after college, not take the job she did as a receptionist/translator in a county food stamps office. But like many in what’s being called Generation R, Hennes, a 2010 graduate of St. Joseph’s College, took on a survival job. Generation R, for Generation Recession, refers to those who graduated into the recession’s dismal job market. “I worked at the front window. I was the first person people saw and yelled at,” said Hennes, 23, of Lake Grove, N.Y., who later left that job for a fill-in high school Spanish teacher position, which lasted only a few months. As the economy and entry-level job market picks up, hiring experts say these underemployed professionals have special issues to address when looking to upgrade, one being to put a positive spin on that detour job, be it cashiering, stocking shelves, waiting tables, answering phones. They need to see that “R” as standing for resilience, said Kathy Kane, senior vice president of talent management at Melville-based Adecco Group

wide, ages 22 to 26, found: • 57 percent working fulltime; • 43 percent of full-timers in jobs not requiring a college degree; • 18 percent of full-timers in fields outside their majors. Close to 30 percent said that within six months of graduating they had taken part-time jobs, and 19 percent took temporary assignments. Caitlyn Pace, a 2010 finance graduate of the University of Scranton, has done both, having just signed on for a 5 1/2- month administrative assignment with a financial services firm in Edgewood, N.Y., where she says she’s “learning what it is to be in the corporate world, how people interact.” Up until March, Pace, 23, had been baby-sitting and doing part-time administrative work. Hennes, who is doing substitute teaching and job hunting, said she’s grateful for that receptionist job, because it taught her how to deal with people who are frustrated, a skill she can carry over into the classroom. She said she learned to respond to patrons by letting them vent and reminding them, “Sir, I’m here to help you.”

Conflicting personalities can work together By MARIE G. MCINTYRE McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q.: A colleague and I recently started a business venture as equal partners. “Dave” is a local radio host, and I’m a computer geek. I have read that partnerships often don’t work out, and I’m afraid that may be true for us. Whenever Dave wants something, he insists on getting his own way and refuses to discuss other options. For example, if we have a technical problem, he immediately wants to buy new equipment instead of trying to find a less costly solution. If I disagree with him, he becomes very moody. Now Dave would like to bring one of his radio buddies into the business, which I think would be a huge mistake. I have suggested alternate ways that we might work with this guy, but Dave won’t even consider other possibilities. These arguments with Dave are wearing me out, so I’m tempted to just disengage and start my own company. Is there any way to make this partnership work? A.: Partnerships are a lot like marriages. You have people with

equal power entering into a close, interdependent relationship where they frequently have to make joint decisions. Unfortunately, the parties often leap into this arrangement without any prior discussion of their goals, values and temperaments. Given the combination of radio host and computer geek, disagreements are not surprising, because these occupations typically attract very different personality types. On the positive side, however, your differences also provide complementary skills and abilities, which can be of great benefit to your business. To rescue this partnership, you and Dave must first stop arguing about current events and remember why you started this company in the first place. Revisit your original hopes and dreams, then see if you can agree on some specific goals for the future. Next, try to objectively review what you have learned about the differences in your work styles. Start by recognizing each other’s strengths, then try to formulate an effective strategy for calmly working through your inevitable conflicts. If both of you can take a ma-

ture, adult approach to this collaborative effort, then your joint venture may have a bright future. But if the relationship continues to deteriorate, you might be better off flying solo. Q: After months of searching, I finally have an appointment to interview for an engineering position. I understand that “business casual” is the normal dress in this company, so I’m trying to decide whether I should wear a suit or a jacket and tie to the interview. When I asked the recruiter, he recommended the latter, but I would like another opinion. A: The general guideline for applicants is to dress “one level up” from typical workday attire for the position, so either of your choices could be appropriate for this interview. If your recruiter is familiar with the company’s culture, however, you can probably assume that he’s giving you good advice. Marie G.

New regulations offer big cash awards to whistleblowers reporting fraud WASHINGTON — Whistleblowers who report corporate fraud or other misconduct to the government could receive sizable cash awards under new rules adopted Wednesday by federal regulators. Tipsters would be eligible if they give the Securities and Exchange Commission information that leads to an enforcement action resulting in more than $1 million in penalties. The SEC would pay up to 30 percent of the money it recovers from a company or person. A divided SEC voted 3-2 to

adopt the whistleblower program. The two Republican commissioners objected. The new rules will take effect in about 60 days. Whistleblowers who provided information starting in July 2010, when the overhaul law was enacted, also would be eligible to receive awards. The whistleblower program was mandated by the financial overhaul law enacted last year. It was contested by big U.S. companies, like AT&T Inc., Best Buy Co., FedEx Corp., Google Inc., Target Corp. and Verizon Communications Inc., in addition to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. They argued that whistleblow-

ers should first have to tell their companies of misconduct and give them a chance to correct problems before informing the SEC. Otherwise, the corporations contend, it will take longer to address wrongdoing. On the other side, advocates and lawyers for whistleblowers say they would be discouraged from reporting wrongdoing if required to inform company officials first. The new rules would seek to discourage employees from bypassing their companies’ compliance programs. Once employees report potential wrongdoing to their company, the SEC would

officially designate them as whistleblowers, potentially eligible for awards — provided they give the SEC the same information within 120 days. In addition, the SEC will credit whistleblowers whose companies pass their information to the agency, even if the whistleblowers themselves do not. That way, whistleblowers could receive awards by reporting wrongdoing internally to their companies. The new rules represent the first time that whistleblowers will be given a financial incentive to report misconduct to company authorities, SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said before the

vote. Companies’ internal compliance programs play “an extremely valuable role” in preventing fraud, Schapiro said. She said the new rules strike a balance between encouraging whistleblowers to pursue internal compliance when appropriate and giving them the option to go directly to the SEC. “It is the whistleblower who is

in the best position to know which route is best to pursue,” she said. Advocates of the new program say whistleblowers can be an effective line of defense against corporate wrongdoing. The SEC was embarrassed by its failure to halt Bernard Madoff’s multibillion-dollar fraud over nearly two decades, despite red flags raised by whistleblowers.

MarketPulse SIZING UP BANK STOCKS Are banks stocks cheap or dangerous? Analysts can’t agree. Financial stocks in the S&P 500 have fallen 4 percent this year even as the broader market has risen 6 percent. Some mutual fund managers say banks should be avoided since they’re facing increased scrutiny from government regulators. Oppenheimer analyst Chris Kotowski takes the counter argument. He believes banks are cheap and worth buying. His recommendations: Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo, among others.

A WET CORN RALLY Forget oil: corn is becoming this year’s hot commodity. Prices for corn have risen 21 percent this year. Oil, by comparison, is up 10 percent, while gold is up 8 percent. Corn has gone up recently because of poor weather conditions. Drenching rains in the Midwest have made it difficult for farmers to plant their crops. That’s raised concerns about supplies. Demand for corn remains high from food makers, ethanol producers and consumers around the globe. Corn is also used to feed livestock. Jack Scoville, vice president of the Price Futures Group, says prices could fall next week, though, if there’s drier weather.

GOOD TIMES AND BAD Don’t get complacent if your stock is doing well. That’s when companies are more likely to try for governance changes that aren’t friendly to shareholders. So say researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale University. They found that companies are more likely to call special meetings after they report surprisingly good earnings. CEOs then ask shareholders to approve plans that deter hostile takeover attempts. Investors might want a takeover — especially if they get a good price for their stock.

Trawling where others don’t

Small-cap stocks are more expensive than Exxon Mobil, Microsoft and other well-known, big-cap stocks, based on their earnings. That has some analysts saying it’s time for large stocks to do better than small ones. But Ford Draper Jr. says he still sees opportunities in small caps. He is president and chief investment officer of Kalmar Investments, which invests $4.6 billion mostly for endowments, charities and wealthy families. It also has a mutual fund for retail investors, Kalmar Growthwith-Value Small Cap Fund (KGSCX).

InsiderQ&A

You’ve been investing for 43 years. Does this market remind you of any previous ones? I would say it’s very different. We haven’t in recent times had to recover from a Draper major international financial calamity, like we’re having to recover from now. While we don’t forecast the economy per se, we think the likelihood is that the aftermath will be slow economic growth. That’s what we’re seeing now - a temporary period of waning economic strength in what we think is nevertheless a sustainable growing economy.

Hedge funds’ favorite stocks

Smurfit-Stone Container may not be a household name, but the maker of pizza boxes and other packaging is a favorite of professional investors. Goldman Sachs reviewed the holdings of 574 hedge funds and found that 28 had Smurfit-Stone among their 10 biggest holdings at the end of the first quarter. That makes it the eighth most popular stock among hedge funds. Goldman’s study listed the 50 stocks that were most often found among hedge funds’ top 10 holdings. No. 1 was Apple. Smurfit-Stone stock may not be available for long. The company agreed in January to be bought by a rival, Rock-Tenn. But investors may find more opportunities with other hedge fund favorites. The list includes stocks that have done well

Economic data has certainly been disappointing, and stocks have dropped in May. We went through a period like this in April (2010) that ended around when Uncle Ben (Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, hinted at a bond-buying program to help the economy at the end of August). I wouldn’t be surprised if in a month or so from now we find ourselves looking at better economic numbers, and people are feeling better. It was only a few months ago that everyone was giddy. That’s not abnormal. Bull markets have sharp corrections and pullbacks. That volatility creates opportunities for people investing over several years.

You like small-cap stocks because few analysts are covering them? That’s the main reason. There are 3,000, 4,000 (smaller) companies that one can forage in, and if you’ve got genuine research skills, you ought to be able to find exciting things.

Even though few small caps look cheap now after the group’s big run? We’ve found good valuations (more difficult) to find. But that would be much more of a handicap if we were focusing only on 200 or 300 large companies. We’re focusing on several thousand companies. We think the game is far from over. You’ve got several stocks that are dependent on consumer spending like Ulta Salon, Elizabeth Arden and Ruby Tuesday. Is it safe to trust consumers will spend? Depending on the company, it’s safe. That’s the key. Ulta is a category killer in women’s cosmetics retailing. (Customers) are moving away from department stores, where they used to buy cosmetics. When times are tough, they can move down the price range but still stay in an Ulta store. When times are more flush, they can move up the price range (and still shop at) the same store. You could see that a model like that would attract the shopper when she’s a bit more pressed, but it also gives her an opportunity to spread her wings when times are better. You bought Robbins & Myers, an equipment maker, recently. It certainly doesn’t look cheap, trading at 29 times its earnings over the past 12 months. We are forward, forward, forward oriented. Robbins & Myers wouldn’t be considered high quality on backward-looking (measures), including price to earnings. This has been a pretty sleepy, undermanaged company that was over-diversified. In the last several years, it has been, with new management, slimming down to a set of businesses where it’s got the No. 1 or 2 position and become much more competitive. It’s what Robbins & Myers offers us in the next several years that we’re keyed to, not its mediocre past results.

10-year Treasury yield drops to 2011 low

recently, like chemical maker LyondellBasell, which rose 15 percent in the first quarter. It also contains some duds: Microsoft was a top 10 holding for 54 hedge funds at the end of the quarter. It fell 9 percent over the three months. Individual investors may want to consider these stocks. As a group, they have led the overall S&P 500’s quarterly performance 65 percent of the time, going back 10 years. Several energy companies were new entries in last quarter’s list. They included BP, Marathon Oil and Chevron. Priceline.com and Valeant Pharmaceuticals also joined. Hedge funds invest money for pension funds, wealthy individuals and endowments. They’re generally lightly regulated, but they have to give updates on what they own each quarter.

The 10-year Treasury’s yield fell during the week to its low for 2011, dragging down borrowing and savings rates for consumers. Yields sank after nervous investors bought Treasurys. A bond’s yield falls when its price rises. Worries about Europe’s debt crisis and a slowing U.S. economic recovery drove the buying. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell to 4.6 percent from 4.61 percent a week ago.

Looking for values? Try technology companies q

Big tech stocks are starting to look like big bargains. Microsoft, Intel, Dell and Hewlett-Packard all have price-to-earnings ratios below the S&P 500, which has a P/E of about 15. That’s drawn the attention of fund managers. Tom Forester, portfolio manager of the Forester Value fund (FVALX), has Microsoft in his fund. The company has a P/E of 11. “It’s a dirt cheap stock,” he says. A big tech company stock like Apple has done better because investors believe that long-term, it will rise more than Microsoft or Dell. Apple has shown investors that it’s more innovative than other tech giants. But Forester and other analysts say the big companies still have potential for higher earnings as the economy improves and companies spend more on computers and servers. This screen, powered by FactSet, identifies technology stocks that have the lowest P/E ratios in the S&P 500. Micron Technology tops the list. The company, which makes computer memory chips, has a P/E of about 6. Micron’s stock is up 22 percent this year. Still, the company is selling chips

KEVIN BLAUM

MARINERS OF OLD relied upon an early warning beacon from a dependable lighthouse when searching for that one particular harbor on a dark and moonless night. Avoiding invisible shoals and rocky coastlines was often the most hazardous leg of a voyage as skipper and crew attempted to navigate their vessel safely into port A lighthouse used a combination of lamps, lenses and height to propel its beam far out amongst the waves. Captains who knew their math and the height of various lighthouses could determine a ship’s distance from danger and give it a wide berth. They used a simple formula of multiplying the square root of the light’s height above sea level by 1.17 and adding it to the square root of the captain’s eye above sea level, times 1.17. If the eye of a sailor on deck was 9 feet above the water and he knew the lighthouse was 100 feet above sea level, those aboard were confident the way home would become visible 15.21 nautical miles from shore. They ignored such warnings at their peril. Miners once used canaries in coal mines as an early warning system against carbon monoxide and methane gas poisoning. Canaries have no tolerance for them and have trouble breathing and chirping in the presence of either. Miners knew then to quickly evacuate the mine. They ignored such warnings at their peril. Unfortunately, congressional Republicans are not as discerning. For months, Republicans refused to listen and ignored repeated warnings from the American people to keep their GOP hands off Medicare. Mindlessly, House Republicans marched in unison to undo Medicare America’s health care system for the elderly. They adopted their budget scheme in mid April 2011. Medicare was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on July 30, 1965 in Independence, Mo., where he enrolled former President Harry Truman as Medicare’s first recipient. From that day forward Americans 65 and older have had health care coverage upon which they could rely. Today’s Republican plan eliminates the Medicare guarantee and replaces it with a coupon forcing seniors to go hat in hand and attempt to buy some private health insurance. It is taxpayer money transferred directly to the insurance industry lobby. And the coupon provided will not purchase the care seniors require. House Republicans, with Lou Barletta (R-11) and Tom Marino (R-10) falling dutifully in line, insult all Americans when they say their plan will not affect anyone over the age of 55. As if those of us older than 55 care more about our own coverage at 65 than we do that of our under-55 spouses, children and siblings. Are House Republicans so callous to think they can win our votes by tossing us a health care lifeline while abandoning those we love? Do Barletta and Marino not understand that the over-55 crowd cares less about themselves and more about their children’s health care and that of their grandchildren when they too will reach the twilight of their years? Perhaps now they do. On Tuesday night the Republican barge ran aground on the jagged, electoral rocks in upstate New York. In an overwhelmingly Republican district, covering the well-to-do suburbs between Buffalo and Rochester, a Democrat was elected to Congress on the issue of protecting Medicare. For the first time in a generation, and only the fourth time since 1857, voters in that district came together to defeat the Republican candidate. That Republican supported the coupon plan approved by Barletta and Marino. The warnings to Congress were everywhere. “Keep your GOP hands off Medicare.” Barletta and Marino ignored them.

A life lived greatly

RICHARD L. CONNOR OPINION

weet as he was, Rusty Flack was not a “sweet evening breeze,” a nickname we used for one of our friends over 30 years ago when we first met. Rusty was a rock-and-rolling thunderstorm of laughter, love and generosity. A friendly tsunami who swept through life leaving all he touched awash with a glow, he knew neither nuance nor subtlety. Other than welcoming the night as a good time to throw a party, there was no evening, no end of the day for him. He was always the bright, hopeful, shining morning for so many of us who were touched by his love and indomitable spirit. He was all-night radio, Wolfman Jack, Mr. ’70s and ’80s, Jimmy Buffett, the Beatles, the Corvettes, and James Dean, in a nose tackle’s body. He was a young hippie with a mind for conservative politics and just somewhat of a human Rubik’s Cube, except in his heart, for which there was no mystery to ponder or unlock. It shone clearly like a beacon in the night. He joined the Love Generation and never left it. He was a pirate who turned 40. I met him at The Westmoreland Club, me running The Times Leader at 31 and Rusty, at 24, in charge of Diamond Manufacturing. Turns out we had recently covered in our paper a municipal meeting where his company had come under some criticism. “You the new guy running the paper?” he asked. Proudly, I said I was. He quickly put me in check. “When you going to start printing the truth and getting things right?” he asked. It turned out we had missed a few points here and there in the story. They were important to the context of the issues. As often happens in the case of this newspaper business, we had been incorrect. We argued a bit, neither of us giving ground. Then we laughed, toasted, and became friends for life. Simple as that. Along the way that night, Rusty sneered and said newspapers never got things right. All you print is trash, he said. Newspapers. Ugh! About 30 years later, he helped me buy one and preserve an independent local voice for our community. It is today’s Times Leader. Before that, he invested in every one I have started or bought. That one night, finding ourselves playfully pitted against one another, was the beginning. We proceeded to race headlong into the 1980s and along the way I formed bonds with many of Rusty’s friends, who became my friends. Many of us had feet to the floorboards as we sped through our young years of building businesses, careers and families. For a long time, we held onto a playful sense of immaturity and recklessness. We never expected to say goodbye. We never expected to die or watch our friends die. Many of us had nicknames bestowed by our friend the late John McCole — he was “the sweet evening breeze” — and we loved those nicknames in the laughter of our youthful cockiness. Tongue in cheek and self-deprecating, the nicknames also held in them a future hope of accomplishment that we kept hidden. In that milieu, Rusty was “The Great Industrialist,” and I was “Pulitzer.” We had a an irascible, irreverent and everything else “ir” friend we called “Zoomer.” That nickname grew from a bunch of Christians trying to understand Yiddish at a Hebrew service at Temple. Or something like that. Another friend, “Dead Tree,” was in the lawn and nursery business. Rusty was always the trunk of our tree of friendship. He still is, despite what you might

have read. The papers say he died at 56 early Thursday morning, after essentially defying the savagery of colon cancer for two years. He will never die. A spirit that big, a presence that large, of physique and of heart, touches so many and touches them so deeply that he comes into a life and stays forever. Visible footsteps from Rusty Flack’s life are imprinted in the sand of this community forever. He took over a family business while almost still a boy, rescued it financially, built trust and efficiency among a unionized work force, became a brilliant businessman, served as chairman of a hospital and then the Wyoming Seminary Board of Trustees, helped create the Luzerne Foundation, and on and on. Look at the life of Rusty Flack and you see a giant of a man walking through the community of the Wyoming Valley. He left many traces that he was here. He was an inspirational father to four children, caring husband to his wife, dutiful son to his mother, keeper of his father’s dreams, foundation of strength for a brother and sister. They carry his legacy. The rest of us carry the gift of having been touched by him personally in so many ways, large and small. Those are private recollections that would embarrass him in public recitation. So, we keep them to ourselves and he will live within us as an example of who we should be, how we should live. If a person who knew him well could tell you one thing about Rusty that would encapsulate how much he was admired and trusted it would be this: Several of his friends, not relatives, appointed him as guardian of their children if both parents died prematurely. Throughout his life he knitted the patchwork of a quilt of friendship that was as inclusive as it was broad and diverse. He literally brought hundreds of people together and bonded them with his embrace. Except for a few Democrats, enduring but never abandoning his quirky friends who matched his perfection with their imperfections, he loved everyone and laughed with them all. His wry sense of humor, delivered in quick, penetrating one-liners, could lighten the darkest corner of a day or night. Rusty was comical in his acquisition of boats,

cars, homes, and rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia. There was nothing funny about his incredible gift for building personal coalitions, linking his friends to other friends until everyone in his aura suddenly shared friendshps. No one did it better. Despite a large and heavy frame, he could glide around a dance floor like a swan before he’d take the stage at a wedding or party and knock the lights out with his cover of “Born to be Wild.” Unlike the musical misfits who would often join him on stage, he could actually sing, actually carry a tune. He created a songbook of memories of a life lived well — no, lived greatly. William Faulkner wrote that “man will not merely endure, he will prevail.” That was Rusty Flack, who, also borrowing from a Faulkner speech, took it upon himself to make it “his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past.” “He taught us to live,” said one of his closest friends, “and then he taught us how to die.” Fighting and fighting and fighting for the last two years against the long-shot odds of beating colon cancer, his spirit was bountiful, his hope eternal, his optimism undiminished. If he knew pain, he never winced, never flinched. And then, when he had done his best, when he had given it his all, he knew his time was up. A graceful giant of a robust, life-loving man, he drifted into the sweet evening breeze surrounded by his loved ones. He will always drift above us and among us. Richard L.

OUR OPINION: SCHOOL BUDGETS

Speak out before you lose a chance

CHOOL MAY BE almost over for students, but crunch time is just starting for taxpayers. For months we’ve heard speculation and hypothetical proposals for dealing with the meat cleaver education cuts proposed by Gov. Tom Corbett. Parents fretted while school boards and administrators mulled the elimination of everything from full-day kindergarten to music, arts and summer school. This past week, the theoretical impact of those cuts solidified into cold, hard reality, as local school boards voted on preliminary budgets in order to meet state deadlines. Those budgets go on public display for the next several weeks before the boards give them final approval, which – by state law – must happen no later than June 30. Some are posted on district websites. Which means now is the time to see if you agree with the cuts and changes. If you wait until classes start in three months and realize you hate what has happened in your school, it will be far too late. Wilkes-Barre Area plans to drop two pre-kindergarten

classes and merge seventh and eighth grade sports into the high school programs. Pittston Area won’t replace a middle school music teacher. Dallas intends to eliminate before- and after-school tutoring programs. Crestwood put fullday kindergarten and middle school sports on the chopping block. Hanover Area is set to close an elementary building. Retiring teachers won’t be replaced. Class sizes will grow while student options shrink. Spending on supplies and textbooks will wither. Talk of fourday school weeks has begun. All of this comes with the state education budget still unsettled. The Legislature is proposing restoring some lost education money. State income is much higher this year than expected, though talk of using that money to curb the cuts has been muted. Which gives taxpayers a narrow window of opportunity. Look at your school district’s proposed budget, decide what you like and don’t like, and take a stand – both locally and at the state level – for or against the real-world impact of these cuts. Because come June 30, you’re cut out of the decision.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “It wasn’t just pie out of the sky.” A.J. Munchak The Lackawanna County commissioner defended the $14.6 million sale price of the Triple-A baseball franchise to the New York Yankees. An expert hired by Luzerne County says the franchise is worth $18 million, meaning the county should see an extra $1.7 million from its share of the sale.

STATE OPINION: LEGISLATURE

Budget drama takes nasty turn

VERY TIME the state budget rolls around, we can count on Harrisburg to provide a few months of theater, as the governor makes his priorities clear, and the Legislature pushes back with its own priorities. The drama surrounding the Corbett budget is different. The budget proposed first by Gov. Corbett and recently amended by House Republicans could barely get worse. Both feature steep cuts to higher ed, basic education and the Department of Public Welfare, holding the line at state spending to $27.3 billion -which is $700 million less than this year’s budget. The House did restore some of the Corbett cuts to higher education. But it does get worse for every taxpayer in the state, and not because spending is being cut. What’s also being cut is a fuller discussion of both sides of the ledger -- spending and revenues. The state budget must deal with a large deficit. But the factors mitigating that crisis are barely mentioned. They include the $500 million surplus that the budget crafters are leaving untouched. It also conveniently ignores the higher revenues that the state has collected. According to a recent report from the Rockefeller Institute,

revenues from personal income tax rose 7.5 percent; sales taxes generated 4.2 percent more than anticipated and corporate income tax saw a rise of 3.9 percent during the first quarter of 2011 in the state. (The state’s gain in corporate-income-tax revenues are among the lowest of most of the states reporting.) There’s little mention of these bright spots, mainly because they don’t conform to the accepted talking points that would characterize previous administrations’ reckless spending. This is the time for taxpayers to speak up to their elected officials about their priorities. Is the strategy of cutting higher and basic education right for the state’s future? Should we really be increasing spending on corrections? And why are we giving big tax breaks to the Marcellus Shale drilling industry when revenue from taxes or fees could help the state budget and ease the burden on local communities dealing with the environmental impact? On Monday evening, when you’re facing the prospect of going back to work after the Memorial Day holiday, think about this: Legislators are taking the entire week off to celebrate and won’t be back in session until June 6. Philadelphia Daily News

Entitlements make poor dependent on politicians THOSE WHO REGARD government “entitlement” programs as sacrosanct, and regard those who want to cut them back as calloused or cruel, picture a world very different from the world of reality. To listen to some of the defenders of entitlement programs, which are at the heart of the present financial crisis, you might think that anything the government fails to provide is something that people will be deprived of. In other words, if you cut spending on school lunches, children will go hungry. If you fail to subsidize housing, people will be homeless. If you fail to subsidize prescription drugs, old people will have to eat dog food in order to be able to afford their meds. This is the vision promoted by many politicians and much of the media. But, in the world of reality, it is not even true for most people who are living below the official poverty line. Most Americans living below the official poverty line own a car or truck -- and government entitlement programs seldom provide cars and trucks. Most people living below the official poverty line also have air conditioning, color television and a microwave oven -- and these too are not usually

COMMENTARY THOMAS SOWELL handed out by government entitlement programs. Cell phones and other electronic devices are by no means unheard of in low-income neighborhoods, where children would supposedly go hungry if there were no school lunch programs. In reality, low-income people are overweight even more often than other Americans. As for housing and homelessness, housing prices are higher and homelessness a bigger problem in places where there has been massive government intervention, such as liberal bastions like New York City and San Francisco. As for the elderly, 80 percent are homeowners whose monthly housing costs are less than $400, including property taxes, utilities, and maintenance. The desperately poor elderly conjured up in political and media rhetoric are -- in the world of reality -- the wealthiest segment of the American population. The average wealth of older households is nearly three times the wealth of households headed by people in the 35 to 44-year-old bracket, and more than 15 times the wealth of house-

holds headed by someone under 35 years of age. If the wealthiest segment of the population cannot pay their own medical bills, who can? The country as a whole is not any richer because the government pays our medical bills -- with money that it takes from us. What about the truly poor, in whatever age brackets? First of all, even in low-income and high-crime neighborhoods, people are not stealing bread to feed their children. The fraction of the people in such neighborhoods who commit most of the crimes are far more likely to steal luxury products that they can either use or sell to get money to support their parasitic lifestyle. We don’t need to send the country into bankruptcy, in the name of the poor, by spending trillions of dollars on people who are not poor, and who could take care of themselves. We have all heard the old saying about how giving a man a fish feeds him for a day, while teaching him to fish feeds him for a lifetime. Independence makes for a healthier society, but dependency is what gets votes for politicians. Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

Getting into college: To be or not to be (yourself) JASON LAMOREAUX will graduate June 14 from Upper Merion High School. Last year at this time, he was navigating the collegeapplication process, which includes the writing of a personal statement and this dilemma: Do I tell them what I think, or what I think they want to hear? Lamoreaux took what some might view as a risk. Instead of addressing world hunger or carbon emissions, he offered an honest insight into his personality. Andrew Ferguson applauded the approach when I told him about Lamoreaux. Ferguson recently documented the charade that the college-application process has become. His best seller, “Crazy U: One Dad’s Crash Course in Getting His Kid Into College,” is a testament to kids’ adopting alternative personas that they think will please admissions officers. Ferguson’s book highlights the application essay as a particular source of student and parental angst. Ferguson laments that the essays seem ill-suited for 17-year-olds — an unrealistic, touchy-feely search for a high schooler’s most intimate thoughts. Jason Lamoreaux’s academic record at Upper Merion has included both A’s and B’s — with more of the latter than the former. He’s carried a couple of honors-level courses. His honors physics teacher emailed his mom earlier this year, saying: “Jason is definitely

COMMENTARY MICHAEL SMERCONISH an asset in the class; I’m glad he’s here. Honors classes can be a little ‘stuffy’ sometimes. He breaks the mold.” Lamoreaux was a co-captain of the swimming and water polo teams this year, and likes classic rock, comedy and summer lifeguarding. Last year, he applied to several schools but refused to end nuclear proliferation in his essay. Instead, he discussed watching a lacrosse championship against rival Upper Dublin. “As a swimmer and one who had to compete regularly against Upper Dublin, they had always been a powerhouse filled with pompous jerks who thought they were better than everyone else,” he wrote. “ ... It was a Thursday night at Upper Dublin and the league championship was on the line. As a swimmer and water polo player, I know how it feels to not get too much support from fans except for the occasional friends who come to watch me.” “Before the game, I had put on my Spanish National water polo team flame-decorated Speedo. ... I pulled my shorts off, and ran up and down the stands with my chest painted blue (one of my high school colors) in my flame-decorated Speedo.

“Our fans erupted. It was louder than it had been all game.” To my surprise, it also won accolades from Leonard Krivy, who for decades has been a prominent educational consultant in Cherry Hill, N.J. “The home field advantage is relevant to many aspects of our lives,” he told me. “This is a very interesting and well told perspective on home field advantage — and one with which most of us can identify. “Jason shows accomplishments that invite the colleges’ attention. He has taken wellthought risks and has confidence in his ideas and ability to follow through, and he has become part of the school’s history and has made a difference,” Krivy continued. “You can write a modern-day version of the Gettysburg Address. However, unless you meet the school’s objective criteria, you probably won’t be admitted and the essay may not be read.” Jason Lamoreaux applied to nine schools. He was rejected at one, wait-listed at another, and accepted at the remaining seven. The head of admissions at St. Mary’s College in Maryland wrote a note on his acceptance saying “how glad he was that he was wearing his Speedo.” Lamoreaux will enter Gettysburg College in the fall. And he will go places. Michael Smerconish writes a weekly column for The Philadelphia Inquirer. Readers may contact him via www.smerconish.com.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com

Obama undermines Mideast peace process EVERY ARAB-Israeli negotiation contains a fundamental asymmetry: Israel gives up land, which is tangible; the Arabs make promises, which are ephemeral. The long-standing American solution has been to nonetheless urge Israel to take risks for peace while America balances things by giving assurances of U.S. support for Israel’s security and diplomatic needs. It’s on the basis of such assurances that Israel undertook, for example, the Gaza withdrawal. In order to mitigate this risk, President George W. Bush gave a written commitment that America supported Israel absorbing major settlement blocs in any peace agreement, opposed any return to the 1967 lines and stood firm against the so-called Palestinian right of return to Israel. For two and a half years, the Obama administration has refused to recognize and reaffirm these assurances. Then last week in his State Department speech, President Obama definitively trashed them. He declared that the Arab-Israeli conflict should be resolved along “the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps.” Nothing new, said Obama three days later. “By definition, it means that the parties themselves – Israelis and Palestinians – will negotiate a border that is different” from 1967. It means nothing of the sort. “Mutually” means both parties have to agree. And if one side doesn’t? Then, by definition, you’re back to the 1967 lines. Nor is this merely a theoretical proposition. Three times the Palestinians have been offered exactly that formula, 1967 plus swaps – at Camp David 2000, Taba 2001, and the 2008 Olmert-Abbas negotiations. Every time, the Palestinians said no and walked away. And that remains their position today: Indeed, in September the Palestinians are going to the U.N. to get the world to ratify precisely that – a Palestinian state on the ’67 lines. No swaps. Note how Obama has undermined Israel’s negotiating position. He is demanding that Israel go into peace talks having already forfeited its claim to the territory won in the ’67 war – its only bargaining chip. That ’67 line runs right through Jerusalem. Thus the starting point of negotiations would be that the Western Wall and even Jerusalem’s Jewish Quarter are Palestinian – alien territory for which Israel must now bargain.

COMMENTARY CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER Obama also moved the goal posts on the so-called right of return. Flooding Israel with millions of Arabs would destroy the world’s only Jewish state while creating a 23rd Arab state and a second Palestinian state -- not exactly what we mean when we speak of a “two-state solution.” That’s why it has been the policy of the U.S. to adamantly oppose this “right.” Yet in his State Department speech, Obama refused to simply restate this position. Instead, he told Israel it must negotiate the right of return with the Palestinians after having given every inch of territory. Bargaining with what, pray tell? No matter. “The status quo is unsustainable,” declared Obama, “and Israel too must act boldly to advance a lasting peace.” Israel too? Exactly what bold steps for peace have the Palestinians taken? Israel made three radically conciliatory offers to establish a Palestinian state, withdrew from Gaza and has been trying to renew negotiations for more than two years. Meanwhile, the Gaza Palestinians have been firing rockets at Israeli towns and villages. And on the West Bank, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas turns down the Olmert offer, walks out of negotiations with Binyamin Netanyahu and now defies the United States by seeking not peace talks but instant statehood – without peace, without recognizing Israel – at the U.N. And to make unmistakable this spurning of any peace process, Abbas agrees to join the openly genocidal Hamas in a unity government, which even Obama acknowledges makes negotiations impossible. Obama’s response to this relentless Palestinian intransigence? To reward it – by abandoning the Bush assurances, legitimizing the ’67 borders and refusing to reaffirm America’s rejection of the right of return. The only remaining question is whether this perverse and ultimately self-defeating policy is born of genuine antipathy toward Israel or of the arrogance of a blundering amateur who refuses to see that he is undermining not just peace but the very possibility of negotiations.

Raup commends campaign workers

would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my campaign supporters who not only voted for me, but worked tirelessly as volunteers which ultimately brought me close to winning

the election. I would also like to give special thanks to those who actually invested in a brighter future for Wilkes- Barre by donating funds that enabled us to buy the necessary tools that one needs in a campaign. I received support for choosing to run and for choosing to stand up for my beliefs. I remain convinced that more must be done in the neighborhoods to fight gangs, drugs and urban decay. I will continue to work with the residents through our Neighborhood Crime Watch groups to improve the quality of life in our city.

Council candidate thanks backers

send a heartfelt thank-you to all the voters. Anyone who assisted with my campaign in the smallest way ensured my success in the May Primary Election process. Those who signed my petitions gave me encouragement. I deeply thank all who believe in me. I commend and respect all who took time and made the effort to become a candidate. I hope the voters realize moving Luzerne County government in the right direction will also require more work. I seek to run as a team player for the taxpayers of Luzerne County. I believe it will be a continuous process to observe and learn how each candidate responds to questions in regard to Luzerne County issues. I have stated previously: I will continue the work of Luzerne County Controller Walter Griffith. His efforts to

seek accountability for expenditures is are commendable. I enjoy having conversations with all constituents. I welcome discussion with the other Luzerne County Council candidates. It is imperative that the newly elected council is not bought or owned by any particular group to gain endorsements. I hope each candidate will focus on the county issues and not distract voters. We must eliminate cronyism and nepotism. I believe special interest groups are not representing the interests of the taxpayer. The high elderly population in Luzerne County cannot afford to keep their homes and pay higher taxes to meet the demands of these groups. I plan to continue my campaign with a basic effort which promotes a plan to maintain accountability for expenditures, to eliminate waste and provide necessary county services. I encourage all Luzerne Council candidates to attend Luzerne County Transition Team meetings to understand

the process. The newly elected council will need to work together in 2012. The campaign process will reveal those candidates who have taxpayers’ interests at heart. Place aside political affiliations and work together to improve our county. I was very concerned when I saw a large slate of candidates endorsed with printed signs telling voters the best candidates for Luzerne County Council. This is not a new direction for Luzerne County government. This was the same old political guard at work. I encourage all residents to register to vote. Please make an effort to stay current with the work of the Luzerne County Home Rule Transition team and read all candidate responses from media interviews. I will run independently and hope to establish a positive communication with the other candidates. Let’s change this county and have a better future. Kathy Dobash Hazleton

Keep funding for human services

s our community mourns yet more domestic violence-related deaths, our state legislators are considering a Republican House amended budget that includes 9.1 percent cuts for both domestic violence services and rape crisis services. House Appropriations Chairman Bill Adolph has framed cuts to the Department of Public Welfare programs as a way to find money to restore funding to education programs. This is being justified based on contested estimates of the rate of “waste, fraud and abuse” within “welfare” programs. In the hierarchy of human needs, safety comes first. Basic human needs (food, shelter and safety) must be met before more “advanced” needs can be realized. Witnessing or experiencing rape, battery and other abuse destroys safety. Children and young adults who live with these realities day after day cannot benefit fully from an education. While I find cuts to education funding proposed by Gov. Tom Corbett appalling, and laud legislators for looking at ways to restore that funding, it should not be at the expense of the safety of domestic violence and rape victims. Education cannot be a priority over victim services, and it is bad public policy. Rape crisis centers across Pennsylvania assisted more than 31,000 victims of sexual assault in fiscal 2010. Approximately one-third of those clients were children. Domestic violence programs served 92,000 victims, including 7,410 children during that same year. The proposed cut is likely to result in a complete lack of services for nearly 4,000 sexual assault victims. It is important to note that for nine years rape crisis and

domestic violence services received no state increases, and in fact have sustained cuts. Neither the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence nor the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape, which fund local centers, has been the subject or rumor of “waste, fraud or abuse” of DPW dollars, In fact, both organization are known as models for responsible administrative oversight and positive service outcomes.

It moved into being more and more progressive/socialist and no longer stood for individual liberty and freedom. Under today’s norms, John F. Kennedy would be classified as a conservative. My dad believed deeply that we should all work hard, get the best wage that we can, and be able to keep what we earn. As a brewery worker, my dad thought much like other hard laborers in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and that included the miners. The miners, the brewery workers, the coal men and other factory workers were rugged individualists. They all loved freedom and liberty; they worked hard to enjoy the small breaks in the action. Their love of freedom and family helped them get up every day to put in that long day’s work. And, yes, often the tavern awaited them for a quick 15 minutes on the way home in the dark. Work is good for the heart. Unions helped them even the score with management so that their wages were higher than mere subsistence. I did benefit from my dad’s notion of work. As a very young boy, he picked coal along the railroad tracks to heat the home.When I was 5 years old, my first job was as an entrepreneur.

urday. I would take the stash to a junkyard. I made about a quarter to thirty-five cents a week. It gave me an understanding of what it takes to work and it put something in my pocket. It was a great life lesson. I later moved on to shoveling sidewalks, cutting grass, working in a 5 & 10, and then I spent time spotting pins in a bowling alley. When I was 12, I inherited my older brother’s paper route, which I turned over to my younger brother when I graduated from Meyers High School. I finished my high school manual labor career working on a soda truck. That was how things were for the families of working men and women. If you didn’t find some ways to make a few bucks, you would have nothing to spend. We did not get to keep all our income as family needs came first. It’s just the way it was. Things have really changed and today, I do not think my father would call the new Democratic Party the party of the working man. Democratic leaders across the country seem to believe the purpose of the Democratic Party is to make people dependent on government. One of the big differentiations between the Democratic Party leaders and myself is that I believe if you work hard, you should keep what you earn. You should not be obligated to pay the freight of someone whose only problemis that they do not want to work. In our democracy, those who are able to amass a huge bounty and those who are able to earn even a meager living do have obligations to the poor and the sick and those struggling with life. However, that should be done through trustworthy sources such as Churches and charities. Income re-distribution by government is not the way to create a set of rugged individuals like our parents and grandparents that will help keep America strong.

Voter worries about candidates

just watched the intro of Michele Bachmann’s interview by Mike Huckabee. Beginning with the usual first question response of “That’s a great question...” blah blah blah, I immediately turned it off. Though I believe her more qualified than our current White House occupant who has displayed more than his share of foibles, I’m disgusted with the cookie-cutter pandering we now have. None show character worthy to even carry the coat of the likes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln. Our country is in dire times with worse ahead. We desperately require an unbiased leader of fortitude and conviction. Are there no survivors for our country to draw from following the aftermath of the “Tune in, turn on and drop out” drug-infested generation? Is no humanity retained after the “If it feels good, do it” and “I, me, mine” generations? And for a country founded on Christian/Judeo principles, we see the imposed banishment of any form and/or reference to God by loud lobbyists.

In the late 1980s/early ’90s, I had the “privilege” of attending several pigeon shoots in Hegins, Pa. My friends and I witnessed the depravity and callousness of participants and their families (including small children), in a carnival atmosphere deserving comparison to spectacles offered in Roman times to bored and degenerate crowds craving blood and gore. Participants took shots at pigeons that were released from small, dark traps; they were blinded by daylight, disoriented, hungry, thirsty from days without food and water. Of the injured pigeons (very few were actually killed!), some were able to fly away, taking refuge on rooftops and trees, only to die later, while others fell, flapping and writhing on the ground. Teenage boys approached them nonchalantly, grabbed them by their necks, swung them around, hoping to break their necks, or tore off their heads; one laughing “nice young man” even threw a headless pigeon at me. Thankfully, that particular pigeon shoot in Hegins is no more. Let’s hope that decent human beings will object to this bloody spectacle once and for all by calling their legislators, urging them to please support SB 626 – to stop a cruel “sport” that uses thousands of live pigeons for mere target practice. Has anyone heard of skeet shooting? It’s certainly a lot more sportsmanlike than taking shots at small, helpless and disadvantaged birds! Natalie Jarnstedt Greenwich, Conn.

Allocate more funds to students attending colleges with higher graduation rates WITH SIGNIFICANT fanfare, Vice President Joe Biden recently issued a call to action to boost college graduation rates in the United States. His March announcement followed on the heels of a talk by President Barack Obama himself, where he reiterated his long-held belief that college graduates fuel the engine of economic growth that this country needs to compete in a global economy. The president and vice president are right in calling America’s attention to the issue. The United States ranks ninth in the world in the percentage of adults ages 25 to 34 who have a college education. America trails Korea, Canada, Russia, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Ireland and Denmark in this allimportant category. In order to meet the goal of having the highest proportion of college graduates by the year 2020, our country will need to increase the number of college graduates by 50 percent — turning out about 8 million additional graduates from the 16 mil-

demic support systems, and have large class sizes. Students often find the classes they need to graduate are closed because they quickly reach their full capacity. Smaller, mostly private colleges and universities, do a better job of graduating students efficiently. For instance, the four-year graduation rate at Misericordia University for 2009-10 was 66 percent. Few colleges exceed this rate. The graduation rate for all Pennsylvania public higher education institutions was only 30 percent. Why should tax dollars be used to subsidize such inefficiencies? The way to stimulate growth in the number of college graduates is to allocate funds to students who attend colleges with higher graduation rates and do well in other performance measures. Such a system will present an optimal distribution of taxpayer dollars to the students who deserve them and ensure that the president’s goal of increasing the number of college graduates is met. Michael A. MacDowell is president of Misericordia University in Dallas, Pa.

COMMENTARY

determine how to allocate federal dollars for financial aid is to examine the U.S. Department of Education College Completion Tool Kit. That set of policy recommendations suggest, among other things, that the federal and state governments “embrace performancebased funding,” including the graduation rates of colleges and universities. Among students attending four-year institutions of higher education, only 27 percent graduate in four years. Fiftythree percent graduate in five years and 57 percent complete their education in six years. The fact that Pell Grants are paid on an annual basis means that for every extra year in college, American citizens are paying millions of dollars more in Pell Grant aid. And the longer it takes a student to graduate, the more elusive the president’s goal becomes. Why are students in four-year colleges taking so long to graduate? Numerous reasons are given. Many students must work and hence, cannot attend school full time. While this is an important issue, more so is the fact that large, mostly public institutions offer little advising, have precious few aca-

s I look back over the 13 years since my father passed away, I think about the many influences he had on me and my family -- behaviorally, attitudinally and, of course, genetically. I am far more like him than I would ever admit when I was a defiant, oppositional teenager. I guess he was much the same when he was a teen. In fact, I’m reminded of one of his stories from his youthful days. He was but 19 years old, serving in the Army within the signal corps as a teletype operator. One winter day, his Commanding Officer asked him to do something – I don’t recall what it was – that he felt

he need not do. He advised his CO of his defiance, and within a few months found himself standing on Utah Beach, Normandy, in June, 1944, with a rifle replacing his typewriter and European soil replacing his office chair. My own teen defiance never brought such grave circumstances. I realize that it is this time of year, between mid-May and mid-June, that I miss him most, not so much for the many times we shared

throughout his life and the gifts he left me, but because it is a time when we publically honor our veterans. My father was a veteran, and he was proud of it. It is hard for me to imagine what passed through his mind upon his first step on the beach of southern France, June 1944, and I hope that at some point no young man or woman will be asked to make such sacrifice. But, for now, they are. I can only hope that

they return unscathed, much as my father did. But, not all do. Recently, the Family Service Association joined with numerous other organizations to form the Tri-Vets Community Action Team to facilitate better services to support our veterans and military families. As a community, we are obligated to honor and to help those who serve our country through the armed forces in their transition back to civilian life. Through assisting with employment, education and health care, we are obligated to provide more opportunitiesfor those who have put their lives on the line so we can live peacefully with the freedoms and blessings we enjoy. As Memorial Day approaches, remember those who gave

the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our freedoms. Remember, too, their families who so often struggle in ways we can hardly imagine. The Family Service Association is committed to helping our military families.

Resident glad Haggerty lost bid

ince 1979, I have been active in Republican politics in Northeastern Pennsylvania. But never before

have I been so proud and encouraged by Luzerne County Republicans and Democrats alike than on Primary Election Day 2011, when the smart voters rejected Jim Haggerty’s bid for a seat on the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas. To be a judge requires more than technical qualifications. It requires a personal commitment to “putting aside politics.” I could not see Haggerty as an objective administrator of the law in view of his longterm policy of “Covering Up Crime Statistics” as Mayor of Kingston. Transparency is the key to keeping things straight and honest. Special thanks to my family, friends and supporters in Pittston for leading the way. John C. Cordora Kingston

capture lost ground. Mikulski’s reaction: no problem. “I’m going to organize the women into a SWAT team,” said Mikulski, who won her own re-election last year to a fifth term representing Maryland in the Senate with 62 percent of the vote. “We’re going to be like NATO: An attack on one will be an attack on all.” Mikulski traveled to Seattle in

February to speak at a $1,000-aplate fundraiser for Sen. Maria Cantwell, a two-term Democrat from Washington who is up for reelection next year. In June, she will head to Michigan for Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow. Earlier this month she was the keynote speaker at an event organized by EMILY’s List, a liberal Washingtonbased group that raises money for

female candidates. Because she has positioned herself as a leader on women’s issues in Congress — and because she will not be on the ballot in Maryland again until 2016 —analysts say Mikulski could play a significant role in several states, including Missouri, Michigan and Washington, as candidates look to court women voters. “She confers some degree of credibility to these candidates, but she can also tell a very real story,” said Jennifer Lawless, who heads the Women and Politics Institute at American University. “Barbara Mikulski is in a position to help out this election because she doesn’t have to worry about her own race.” Seventeen women, 12 Democrats and five Republicans, serve in

the Senate. Seven of them, six Democrats and one Republican, are up for election next year. The incumbents include Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, among the most vulnerable Democrats in Congress, and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who was appointed and won a special election to serve out the last three years of Hillary Clinton’s Senate term after Clinton became secretary of state in 2009. Decades of growth in the number of women in Congress came to a halt after last year’s election. In the Senate, the number of women remained constant at17.

WASHINGTON — Like other Democrats in Congress, Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski is battling Republican budget cuts and working to bring home federal money for her state. But as the 2012 election nears, Maryland’s senior senator is also playing a role in national politics: helping to elect more women to Congress. Asthelongest-servingwomanin the chamber’s history, the selfstyled Dean of the Senate Women is poised to become a powerful messenger and fundraiser for female Democratic senators running for re-election across the country next year. Eighteen months before voters head to the polls, Mikulski is already in high demand. Her efforts come at a challenging time for the Democratic Party, which will be forced to defend twice as many Senate seats as the GOP next year, just two years after losing control of the House of Representatives. The number of women in Congress, meanwhile, fell this year for the first time in more than three decades — leaving advocates for women in politics anxious to re-

number of female lawmakers fell by two to 88, or about 20 percent of the chamber. The number of Republican women in the House increased by eight to 29, while the number of Democrats dropped by 10 to 59. Because Democratic women in Congress still outnumber their Republican counterparts by more than 2-to-1, part of the decrease is simply a byproduct of the historic gains the GOP made in the 2010 election. Riding a wave of anger over the economy and Democratic policies, the GOP picked up 63 new seats in the House to recapture the majority. Of 13 new senators elected last year only one, Republican Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, is a woman. Mikulski, 74, has gained national prominence by focusing on women’s issues. The former social worker left her mark on the Democratic health care overhaul, adding language to require insurance companies to offer mammograms and other health services to wom-

As face of health care law, HHS’ Sebelius soldiers on By DAVID GOLDSTEIN McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — A global flu pandemic loomed the very day in 2009 that Kathleen Sebelius took command of Washington’s massive health care bureaucracy. She had to marshal a response quickly. A year later, when a drilling rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, she had to deal with the medical fallout from the worst oil spill in U.S. history. But throughout her two years as the secretary of health and human services, her toughest challenge has been to shoulder the defense — and weather the political blows — of the biggest expansion of America’s health care system in half a century. “I cannot overstate the pressure she was under during the health care debate, yet she handled it with aplomb and the facts,” said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. “She doesn’t engage in hyperbole. She’s calm. She reflects the no-drama-Obama kind of approach.” A year after the 10-year, $1.1 trillion overhaul passed without a single Republican vote, it remains a deep and divisive fault line in American politics. Bridging it seems out of the question. Opposition to “Obamacare” is the price of admission to being taken seriously in Republican circles. Sebelius’ critics remain implacable. “I’m not pleased, frankly, with her performance,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who opposed her nomination. “I think the law is unaffordable, and costs will explode far beyond the preliminary estimates.” The secretary is just as pointed when she talks about the plan by Republicans in the

House of Representatives to replace Medicare’s guaranteed benefit with set payments to individuals, adjusted for inflation, for them to purchase private insurance. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has said that the plan, offered by Republican Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and passed by the House, would shift more health care costs onto seniors. By 2030, they could be on the hook for as much as 70 percent. Supporters of the Ryan plan counter that competition for seniors’ health care dollars would reduce the cost of private insurance, thus lowering theirs as well. At a news conference last week, Sebelius said the GOP plan “would destroy this com-

She’s someone who bears all the criticism and answers all those difficult questions, most of which are being posed not because of substance but because of the politics and trying to score political points.” Jeffrey Levi Executive Director of the Trust for America’s Health

mitment made 46 years ago to the seniors of this country that they won’t go bankrupt based on health care costs. ... The federal government pays 70 percent of the costs of health care for the very members of Congress who voted to flip that on seniors. It’s a commitment that they haven’t taken on themselves, but they’re willing to put on the seniors of this country.” The fight over health care rages on, in the conservativemedia sphere, on Capitol Hill and in the courts. More than two dozen states

have challenged the health care law. They contend that the individual mandate, which requires people to purchase insurance or pay a fine, is unconstitutional. Lower court rulings have been mixed so far, and the case is likely to end up before the U.S. Supreme Court. Congressional Republicans and the party’s evolving cast of 2012 presidential hopefuls want to repeal the law. “The rules and regulations are going to be imposed outside of legislative channels, where you hold people ac-

countable,” said Robert Moffit, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative Washington research center, who served at Sebelius’ agency during the Ronald Reagan administration. “Americans correctly believe that they have lost a huge amount of freedom.” Convincing doubters that the Democrats’ medicine will be good for them has been difficult. But at 63 and a runner for three decades, Sebelius knows something about endurance. The former Democratic governor of Kansas, who campaigned around the country for Barack Obama in 2008, is the front-line defender of what could be his most enduring achievement, or his undoing. Perhaps her own, as well. “It fulfills an incredibly important legacy to finally have an opportunity to have health care available and affordable for most Americans and all the children and family services I’ve believed in and worked on all my life,” she said during a recent interview. “I can’t imagine at this point being anyplace else.” There are times she probably wishes she were. Her exasperation with the attacks and misinformation — who could ever forget “death panels” — can be abundantly clear. During a recent hearing before the House Education and the Workforce Committee, Rep. Todd Rokita, a Republican freshman from Indiana, kept pressing Sebelius on when she’d get back to him about a mine safety rule on coal dust. Another Indiana Republican had asked her the same question minutes earli-

er. “I can’t give you a date certain until I know what it is that we’re looking for,” Sebelius said. “But I can guarantee you: All of us heard the question four or five times.” “She has been an incredibly good soldier,” said Jeffrey Levi, the executive director of the Trust for America’s Health, a nonpartisan publichealth advocacy group. “She’s someone who bears all the criticism and answers all those difficult questions, most of which are being posed not because of substance but because of the politics and trying to score political points.” But Sebelius isn’t above playing politics herself. She was asked at the hearing what the Ryan Medicare plan would mean for a cancer patient. “People will run out of money very quickly, and if you run out of the government voucher and then you run out of your own money, you’re really left to scrape together charity care, go without care, die sooner,” Sebelius said. Critics said she’d inflamed the debate. Sebelius was mildly contrite: “I certainly didn’t mean to suggest that passing the budget made people die sooner. I do think that shifting costs — which is, no doubt, what the plan would do — onto seniors may well leave some people in very difficult situations where they go without care that they may need.” Sebelius wants to see health care restructuring through. That depends, of course, on whether Obama is re-elected, and if so, keeps her on.

NEW YORK — In a recent episode of “30 Rock,” Alec Baldwin’s character, Jack Donaghy, went through a kind of midlife crisis, splitting into four alternate versions of his self. One, “sideways Jack,” chastised Donaghy for allowing an intended six-month stop in TV to turn into five years, leaving him stalled and no longer a “shark.” “You don’t even know what a shark is anymore!” exclaimed the alternate Donaghy. The episode played artfully with Baldwin’s own career ambitions, which didn’t include sitcom stardom until Tina Fey’s “30 Rock” came along. Now, though, Baldwin is contemplating his exit from “30 Rock.” He has one season left on his contract with NBC and has said he will leave at that point. “That’s pretty much all I think aboutrightnow,”hesaidinarecent interview. “To finish the show, I’m going to do this year then start thinking about what I want to do next.It’sthebigquestion.It’sbeena great experience, and I’ve loved doing the show.

I don’t know what that’s going to be.” This summer, Baldwin will shoot Woody Allen’s next film, in Rome, as well as the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway musical “Rock of Ages” and the indie drama “Hick.” Though Baldwin, 53, worked primarily in movies before “30 Rock” andhassinceworkedinsuchfilmsas 2009’s “It’s Complicated,” he said he won’tnecessarilyreturntothatpath. “WhenIgobackintotheworldto gotowork,Idon’tknowhowlikelyI would be to (make movies).

For Irish singer O’Donnell, it’s all about the audience By BRAD PATTON bpatton@timesleader.com

IF YOU GO

The last time Irish crooner Daniel O’Donnell came to town, he played the arena; this time, he will be back in the more intimate confines of the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts. And so many people wanted to hear his trademark combination of country music, inspirational ballads, ’60s pop and Irish standards, a second show had to be added. O’Donnell, along with his longtime musical companion, Mary Duff, and the DanielO’DonnellBand,willperformTuesday and Wednesday in Wilkes-Barre. Both shows start at 7 p.m. O’Donnell, born and raised in Kincasslagh, County Donegal, Ireland, began his musical career in the early 1980s as part of his sister’s band. But by1983, he was washing dishes at Dublin’s Central Hotel and thinking of immigrating to Canada. He

He recently filmed his 11th PBS special, “Daniel O’Donnell: Live From Nashville,” with special guests Duff and one of his musical heroes, Charley Pride. The concert, filmed at the Ryman Auditorium, the former home of the Grand Ole Opry, will premier in August. “That was something I definitely looked forward to as I have always loved country music,” O’Donnell said in a recent interview from his home in Ireland before the start of his tour. “I have worked with Charley Pride a number of times before, but it is always a great thrill and privilege to sing with him.” O’Donnell is quick to give PBS the bulk of the credit for his success in America, but he said a lot of it is also due to his song se-

CRYPTOGRAMS

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A project will stay on track because of your consistent efforts to keep it that way. You are excellent at getting things done on time, and you’ll help another person deliver similar results. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your smile has greater magnetism than usual. You will be in a daring mood, especially socially. You will express yourself in a way that you haven’t before and connect with someone new. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be managing an unruly problem. It will feel as futile as trying to herd butterflies. However, since your sign rules butterflies, if anyone can do this, you can. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are powerful. And yet you still need to be nurtured and cared for on a daily basis, and you don’t always want to be the one doing it. Besides, you deserve to be cherished. So let it happen. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sleepwalking is something humans do often and only rarely at night. If you have fallen into a pattern of sleepwalking through part of your daily routine, you will be startled awake by today’s events. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Pride of ownership applies to all of your possessions, and you’ll take care that they sparkle, shine and really work. Tonight, you’ll be reminded how much you cherish and need plenty of space to do your thing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are in tune with your surroundings, and you can sense the needs of the people around you even if they never say a word about them. You’ll turn a stranger into an acquaintance, or you’ll refresh a past acquaintanceship. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will stubbornly resist your own rules. If they are causing you stress, maybe they aren’t so important after all. Keeping yourself from what you really want only serves to strengthen your resolve to have it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Each moment of a relationship either builds it or tears it down. You can sense that your ties with loved ones are getting stronger and more stable. An orderly and organized environment helps to make this happen. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve honed your social skills and can’t help it if they happen to be extremely effective now. You will use your charm to reel someone in. You may not wish to do this on purpose, but it will happen all the same. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are often the center of attention today, though this won’t go to your head in the least. You use the spotlight to make others laugh and feel good about being together. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People will admire you for being decisive, but not for being impulsive. If the choice you make is incorrect, you’ll pay for it later. So you’ll take your time, as usual, with your mind on the future. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 29). You often take for granted that everyone can do what you do — but it’s simply not true. Your self-esteem is lifted as you realize that you are uniquely talented. You’ll begin a new venture in June. A relationship develops in surprising ways in July. You’ll enjoy a vacation in August. September brings a financial bonus. Pisces and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 44, 49 and 18.

‘Perfect’ husband may be hiding secret Dear Abby: My husband is gentle, romantic, strong, kind and considerate. He’s the “perfect 10.” The problem is, I think he has an “afternoon delight.” He’s home every night and tells me every day that he loves me. We have been married many years. We’re young at heart, but not so young in years. I’m not asking for advice, because leaving him is not an option. The signs have been there, and I have proof. Our home life is good. I just want to understand why this has been going on. Do some men need more than just marriage? — For Better Or Worse, Trenton, N.J.

LAST WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS

Dear Better Or Worse: There is a name for men who need more than just marriage. They are called bachelors. Married men who stray are known as cheaters and adulterers. If your husband has someone on the side, then the surest way to find out why it’s happening is to inform him the jig is up, explain that you have proof, and demand an explanation.

a man I’m interested in him or that I really like him. What advice could you give me to keep me from feeling like an idiot and saying the wrong thing? He’s a special guy and I don’t want to screw this up. — Nervous in Reading, Pa. Dear Nervous: Do it gradually. Start out by describing the qualities he has that you find special — his sense of humor, his intellect, his style of dress, his wonderful manners, how kindly he treats others. Another time, tell him how much you enjoy his company, and how comfortable you feel with him because of the things you have in common. Tell him he looks wonderful if he makes the extra effort. Paying compliments will get your message across. Unless he walks around with his head in a bucket, he’ll understand what you’re trying to convey. Trust me.

Anything Worth Having is Worth Working For.... Several years ago, I joined a local gym. I worked out for 1-1 1/2 hours, 5-6 days a week. When the year was over, I felt more flexible and my cardio improved. I joined to improve those but I had also joined to lose weight and I did! One whole pound, you read it right - One WHOLE POUND in a year. Just recently I joined another local gym, CLOUD9 PERSONAL TRAINING, in Drums. I joined for the same reasons, flexibility, cardio and weight loss. It has been about 90 days and I am more flexible, my cardio is better and my confidence and strength are improving daily. I am still working out about 1-1 1/2 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. 90 days is about 1/4 of a year. So based on my prior experience, I should have lost a 1/4 of a pound but I haven’t. I’ve lost 20lbs! You read it right, 20LBS. Anything worth having is worth working for..... So stop playing around. Get serious. Stop in and see what Cloud9 has to offer. I know what a difference it has made for me.

DANIEL O’DONNELL DISCOGRAPHY

O’DONNELL

SAN MIGUEL

Beloved Irish crooner Daniel O’Donnell has a familiar voice that speaks to multiple genres and generations. His religious faith informs plenty of his music, which is a collection of old favorites and songs of his homeland. A sampling: • “Through The Years,” a four-CD compilation set of 60 Irish, American cover and religious favorites. • “Together Again,” with singing companion Mary Duff. 15 favorites, including “Top of the World” and “Hey, Good Lookin’ ” • “Can You Feel The Love,” on DVD and double CD. A live PBS concert of 27 songs. • “Live From Branson” and “Branson Encore,” PBS concerts on DVD and double CD • “Songs of Faith,” a PBS live concert with the Irish Philharmonic Choir and “Faith & Inspiration,” a studio recording of 16 inspirational songs, including “Nearer My God To Thee” and “Wind Beneath My Wings.”

ry about two young missionaries whose faith is rocked when they come face-to-face with famine, war and AIDS in Africa. “The Book of Mormon,” which stars Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells, has foul language, some brilliantly sarcastic songs, references to genital mutilation, plenty of suppressed homosexuality, tapdancing Mormons, war crimes threatened on an infant, Darth Vader and a character who repeatedly complains about having maggots in his scrotum. While the show makes fun of several Broadway shows including “Fela!” and “The Lion King,” audience-members at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre may be surprised that Parker and Stone have maintained the structure and feel of a traditional musical. “Wethoughtfromtheverybeginning that the biggest challenge was to write a real Broadway musical,” Stone says. “With unconventional material, sure. But to do unconventional material conventionally.” They’ve largely succeeded: There’s certainly more than a nod in the Mormon musical to Rodgers and Hammerstein, the great musi-

To which Stone adds: “It better be.” Parker then turns hopeful: “We haven’t had a lot of walkouts so far.” Parker, 41, and Stone, 39, have been working on the musical on and off for about seven years, putting the story and songs away each timetheyhadtomakeanotherepisodeof“SouthPark”orfinishtheir films “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut” and “Team America: World Police.” “We’re trying to do something really different. If we wanted to do ‘South Park: The Musical’ we could have done that. It probably would have made a lot more money,” Stonesays.“Wewantedtodosomething ... a little more sophisticated.” They’ve mulled the idea of a Mormon musical since college and found that their dream was shared by Lopez, who they met after watching and loving “Avenue Q,” a musical that featured foulmouthed puppets and sassy songs. The three were determined not to waiver from their original mission: a musical. “Even though there were a few times where we got tempted during the process to go, ‘Oh, let’s just make this a movie’ — because it

It’s not personal, they insist. “Mormons are pretty darn good atturningtheothercheek,”Parker says. “They’re really good at being really nice,” Stone agrees. The two, both atheists, don’t anticipate the same sort of backlash they got when a radical Muslim group was angered after they depicted the prophet Muhammad in a bear suit. Why not? For one thing, the Mormon church has been, in a word, polite. “The production may attempt to entertain audiences for an evening,” the church says in a statement,“buttheBookofMormonas a volume of scripture will change people’s lives forever by bringing them closer to Christ.” To be sure, the musical is not terriblyanti-Mormonorevenveryanti-

religious.BothStoneandParkersay they consider themselves optimisticpeoplewhotrytostripawaycynicism and reveal humanity beneath. “If you’re going to satirize something — if you’re going to make a point about something — you have an obligation to present the peopleasrealpeople,”Parkersays. “If you want it to work, you have to have the heart there.” That means jokes about bodily functions or misbehaving celebrities have had to be cut if it doesn’t fit themusical,somethingofwhichthe new Broadway playwrights have had to remind themselves as they put the finishing touches on “The Book of Mormon.” A two-hour musical, after all, is quite different from creating a 22-minute episode of their topical TV show. “I think when we do it best — sometimes we hit it and sometimes we don’t — is when the characters do something emotionally true to that story. Then it’s a real story.” Which brings us back to the original question: Is nothing sacred to these men? No, they say. Nothing can be ruled out for ridicule. “As long as it’s done in the right way,” Parker says.

similarities end. Each building’s architecture creates a variety of quirky floor plans. One garden-level room at Casa Fuente contains only a cozy bedroom and bath. In contrast, Case Limon has a sprawling suite complete with a steel spiral staircase that leads to a private rooftop deck equipped with a plunge pool and an Imax-worthy view of La Parroquia. (Room service, anyone?) The hotel has a variety of perks. The 3-year-old Laja Spa offers everything from a warm-river-stone massage to Reiki therapy. Every service begins with a ritualistic washing of the feet. A block or so away, the hotel’s Sazon Cookery School offers the expertise of Mexican chefs (and the occasional celeb such as Rick Bayless)toguestsandthepublic.Atabletop boutique inside the school’s restored 18th-century casa sells local pottery, hand-stitched linens, cookbooks and utensils. If you prefer that someone else do the cooking, there are two restaurants led by hotel executive chef Felipe Ramirez Gorosica. The more formal Andanza has a central courtyard with orange trees, a roaring fire and live music. (Try the roasted stuffed quail drizzled with a mole sauce.) Casa del Parque housed in a former 17th-century fort, serves traditional Mexican fare for lunch and low-key suppers.

Warm-weather reads from your favorite authors By CAROLYN KELLOGG

Los Angeles Times

We know what looks good to us on the summer bookshelves, but we couldn’t help but wonder what some of our favorite authors were looking forward to tossing in their travel bag or bringing out to the backyard or the beach for one of those long, sunny afternoons. For many, the coming months seem to be a chance to catch up on those beguiling titles we somehow don’t have time for the rest of the year but are oh-so made for summer. Peter Bognanni, recently awarded the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for First Fiction for “The House of Tomorrow:” Since I’m teaching a class on the novella in the fall, I’m looking forward to reading “Goodbye, Columbus” by Philip Roth again. There’s something about that book that pulls me back. I read it for the first time as a teenager, and it has seemed to find me every few years since. I’m willing to admit that this might be because I have yet to fully enter the world of adulthood. Or maybe, it’s just that good.

Chris Adrian, author of the novel “The Great Night,” a retelling of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” set in San Francisco: I will be spending a large portion of the summer with Dumas Malone’s multi-volume biography of Thomas Jefferson.

Jonathan Evison, author of the novel “West of Here:” Is this the summer I finally revisit “The Brothers Karamazov” or “Moby-Dick,” two of my all time favorite novels? Perhaps. I might have to take them both out in my 1976 motor home/ remote office and make that happen.

Yunte Huang, author of “Charlie Chan: The Untold Story of the Honorable Detective and His Rendezvous with American History:” I’ll be judging the National Book Awards this year, so I look forward to reading about 600 nonfiction books this summer. The best summer reading I did in the past was in 1993 — I was working my butt off at a Chinese restaurant in Tuscaloosa, Ala., but I stole some time to read Ezra Pound, Emily Dickinson and William Faulkner on the greasy kitchen floor. Literature had never been tastier.

Lisa Napoli, author of the memoir “Radio Shangri-La:” What I Learned in Bhutan, the Happiest Kingdom on Earth”: This summer is all about researching and writing my next book, which is about building community. I can’t wait to dive into “The Great Good Place” by Ray Oldenburg and re-read Robert Putnam’s “Bowling Alone.”

Mark Kurlansky, author of “Salt,” “Cod” and the new books “What?” and “World Without Fish:” I have a pile all set to go, which includes lots of new books that aren’t new anymore including a Roberto Bolano novel, Roddy Doyle’s “The Dead Republic,” Chinese poetry by Bei Dao and Michio Kaku’s “Physics of the Future.”

Mark Haskell Smith, author of the novel “Baked:” Three of my favorite writers have new books coming out, so I’m looking forward to stretching out, mixing myself a frosty cocktail and cracking the spines on “The Twelfth Enchantment” by David Liss, “The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine” by Alina Bronsky and “This Is Where We Live” by Janelle Brown.

Tayari Jones, author of the novel “Silver Sparrow:” I’d love to give a little love to some L.A. writers: if you’re not familiar with the work of Nina Revoyr and Nichelle Tramble, check them out.

Anne Kreamer, author of the book “It’s Always Personal: Emotion in the New Workplace:” I’m eager to read Tea Obreht’s “The Tiger’s Wife,” and my book club is reading Naguib Mahfouz’s “The Cairo Trilogy” and Junichiro Tanizaki’s “The Makioka Sisters.”

Virginia Woolf’s transformative touch By JESSICA GELT Los Angeles Times

In the picture, I am probably 10 years old. I’m wearing blue jeans and a bright red sweater, and I’m perched on the stump of a redwood tree, surrounded by a forest of the same. On my lap, I hold an open book. My head is bowed, long blond hair studiously tucked behind my ears. I wish I could remember the book I was reading, but I can’t. What I do remember is that I knew my mother was taking the picture — even though she didn’t know I knew it. As a result, I was trying extra-hard to look serious. Serious summer-reading girl. That was me. Working my way on a camping trip through either the latest Cynthia Voigt coming-ofage triumph on a camping trip or curling my toes in terror while taking in the darkness of a Lois Duncan murder mystery. On the other hand, at that age, I could also have been reading Anne Frank’s “The Diary of a Young Girl,” “Animal Farm,” “The Metamorphosis” or “The Catcher in the Rye,” all books my father recommended to me. I believe those were reserved for book reports that I would deliver to my fifth-grade teacher, who rewarded my precocious diligence with coupons for Pizza Hut personal pan pizzas. But in the summer, reading took on a particularly heroic quality — it provided escape from the searing misery of triple-digit heat. And in August 1991, when I turned 15, it changed the person I was becoming with a revelatory flash — the first, but certainly not the last, time literature would affect me like that. The book was “A Room of One’s Own” by Virginia Woolf. The extended essay is based on a series of lectures on women and fiction that Woolf gave in 1928 at two women’s colleges at Cambridge University. In examining the lives of female writers, Woolf concluded that for a woman to write, she needed two things that most of her contemporaries did not have: money and a room of her own. The idea led her to speculate about what would happen to a brilliant woman without resources or an outlet for her creativity. That woman could indeed be frustrated to the point of suicide, Woolf thought. The book ends with an exhortation to women to continue writing, so that one day their daughters might know true freedom of the mind. As the daughter of a mother who went to college during the 1960s and fought the feminist battle for me, I had grown up with the feeling that I really could be anything I wanted to be. It never occurred to me that the world had once been unwelcoming of female achievement, even though my mother told me that when she was growing up there were two accepted career paths for women — teacher or

secretary. So, as I tiptoed into Woolf’s solitary room each day, leaving the sidewalks of Tucson radiating heat in waves and the pungent scent of dry creosote for the grassy lawns of early 20th century Oxford, upon which Woolf, and women in general, were not allowed to tread, I began to feel something I hadn’t before. It was a deep sense of kinship — the delicate, magical string that a good book can sew through the human experience. Pulled tight enough, that string can draw the whole of history around your shoulders to make you realize that you are not alone. I finished the book sitting on a white wire rocker on our front porch. The day had been especially hot — nearly 110 degrees. As I read the final chapter, a slight breeze began to ruffle the tattered paperback’s pages. And then I smelled it — the unmistakable scent of rain. A monsoon was coming. I finished the book — kissing it as I closed it (something I still do) — and rose from my chair to look down the long, flat street. I could see rain — like an ink smudge — sweeping swiftly across the sky, and the hair on the back of my neck stood up in anticipation of the coming chill. As electric streaks of lightning began to flash on the horizon, I thought about the writer I wanted to become and the vastness of the life ahead of me. The world felt massive, and a shiver of excitement about the future ran through me. I thought of Woolf, and for a moment I felt that she was there with me. My clothes were soaked, and my hair stuck to my face, and I began to weep, suddenly and uncontrollably — for the rain, for Woolf, for my mother, for my wide-open future. For the promise of a book that would never leave me. Years later, when I was 28, I visited Woolf’s home at 29 Fitzroy Square in London. It was late at night, and I crept up the stairs just to touch the doorknob that she once touched. And I wept again, like a 15-year-old in a summer monsoon.

Whatever your day plans, get to the resort’s Luna Rooftop Tapas Bar by dusk. Try a flight of fruit-infused margaritas and a deconstructed shrimp cocktail as you take in the 360-degree view of the mountains and glowing rooftops. Foodies will also want to book a table at the resort’s 1826 Restaurant & Bar. The open-concept kitchen is ideal for watching locavore executive chef Carlos Hannon prepare everything from baked suckling pig to crispy corn empanadas. The vibe: Extreme pampering in an old-world colonial environment with all of the new-construction amenities. Don’t miss: La Cava, the re-

Hotel Matilda Sleek, sexy Hotel Matilda could pass for a boutique hotel in New York, which is exactly why its cobblestone-lanesettinginSanMiguel is intriguing. The 32-room hotel is thevisionofeccentricowner-developer Harold “Spook” Stream, who named it for his mother. The Matilda is built around a central courtyard with an infinityedge swimming pool and dramatic water-wall fountain. Guest rooms are minimalist and airy. It’s worth noting that while many suites have expansive views, some smaller courtyard-facing rooms have only

frosted windows (for privacy). The hotel’s Spa Matilda, which made this year’s Conde Nast Traveler’s hot list, counts the city’s only hammam steam cave among its bragging rights. We might tout the hotel’s night life. The upstairs lounge mixes cocktails made from small-batch, specialty liquors. Restaurant Matilda, with a patio overlooking the pool, is also a hot spot. Executive chef Bernard McDonough whips up everything from tequila-barrel-smoked duck to homemade fennel-pollen pasta. The vibe: Hip-looking guests pout and sip cocktails in a minimalist gallery-like setting. Don’t miss: “The Archer” paintinginthelobbylibraryisareplicaof famed Mexican artist Diego Rivera’s portrait of the hotel owner’s mother, Matilda Stream.

GETTING THERE: Fly to Leon/Guanajuato, Mexico. There, arrange transportation by shuttle or car service for the 80-minute ride into San Miguel. We tried a service recommended to us by one of the hotels, Operadora Turistica Bestur (011-52-415-103-5353). Prices range from $75 to drive you in a midsize sedan to $100 for a full-size SUV. The driver will meet you at the gate at the airport and even provide bottled water for the trip. Tip: The drive to town can be a bit bumpy; take precautions if you’re prone to motion sickness. We tried an old trick that worked great: pop a peppermint in your mouth. DRESS APPROPRIATELY: Don’t even think about navigating San Miguel’s cobblestone streets and uneven sidewalks in heels or slicksoled shoes. COMMON-SENSE PRECAUTIONS: Tourist safety in Mexico has received a lot of attention. Most concerns and warnings focus on border towns. San Miguel is considered very safe, and we felt comfortable even after dark. Use good judgment and travel major highways only during the day. As always, stick to bottled water.

SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, Mexico — Tourists have long flocked to Mexico’s historic village of San Miguel de Allende. Maybe it’s the crisp nights and temperate daysofthismountainsidesettingin the central plains. Maybe it’s the sunsets, which glow deep and red over the town’s tightly clustered Spanish Colonial haciendas and cast long shadows across its narrow cobblestone lanes. What’s striking these days is that tiny San Miguel, which is more than 400 miles from the closest Mexican beach, now supports three luxury hotel resorts. Dallasbased Rosewood (as in the Mansion on Turtle Creek) debuted its elegant, 13-acre property here in February. The modernist Hotel Matilda flung open its front gate to the public last fall. Longtime standard Casa de Sierra Nevada, which became an Orient-Express property in 2006, has upped the offerings at its multiple lush mansions. All of this is a boon for travelers. Afterspendingalldayshoppingthe markets at El Jardin square, perusing art galleries at the converted factory Fabrica La Aurora or admiring the gothic church spires of La Parroquia, who wouldn’t want to shelter-in-placewitharomatherapy massages and a five-course wine dinner? We file this report on San Miguel’s three most over-the-top overnights.

Tomorrow we observe Memorial Day, a date that began as a forum to honor those who were lost in the line of military duty. It has since evolved to a more general expression of memory, as ordinary people visit the graves of their deceased relatives, whether they had served in the military or not. This is also the oﬃcial start of Summer, (despite the Seattle-esque weather we have been experiencing lately! ) It is the perfect time for us to all gather at picnics, graduations, weddings, carnivals…and create some new memories. We can oﬀer respect to those who have crossed our lives and left us with lasting memories as we create some new moments that will be shared, enjoyed and remembered for a lifetime. Please, respect those who are gone, create memories with those who are here and enjoy a time sun, fun and simplicity of just being together.
