Learning was the real prize for champ

To prepare for the Scripps National Spelling Bee, champion Sukanya Roy spent years studying the etymology of English, dabbling in foreign languages to learn foreign word roots and simply reading the dictionary cover-to-cover. Despite all of that study, Sukanya’s father Abhi Roy said the greatest lesson his daughter learned at the 2011 spelling bee was not academic. “It taught Roy her the value of hard work, setting goals and meeting challenges,” he said. “It’s not just about words. Those are the values that we’re trying to teach her, and they’re going to serve her later in life.” On Thursday, 14-year-old Sukanya, an eighth-grader at Abington Heights Middle School, took home the top prize in the National Spelling Bee. It was the third time Sukanya made it to single-elimination rounds of the national competition; she finished in 20th place last year and tied for 12th in 2009. Abhi Roy said he and his wife Mousumi helped their daughter devise a study plan and would quiz Sukanya on words. Both of Sukanya’s parents are scholars – Abhi Roy teaches marketing at The University of Scranton and Mousumi Roy is an independent mathematics scholar who formerly taught at Johns Hopkins University and the Penn State Worthington Scranton campus. “We encourage her to enjoy learning,” Abhi Roy said. “That’s

WILKES-BARRE – A growing citizens group is seeking to connect citizens and train “resident reporters” to effect change in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The NEPA Organizing Center, founded in 2008, hosted an orientation for its recently launched media program at the Arts YOUniverse building on North Franklin Street Saturday. The volunteer group, which in January moved to a new office in the Luzerne Bank Building on Public Square, aims to provide the area community the means to develop long-term solutions to human rights issues. It is wholly staffed by volunteers and is funded solely by private donors. Founder Frank Sindaco, 38, said the group is initially focusing its efforts on housing by reaching out to homeowners facing foreclosure and residents of public housing communities. Volunteers contact owners of homes slated for sheriff’s mortgage foreclosure sales to provide referrals to agencies that can help, and or-

to services, we also identify what services there are and where there’s a gap,” Sindaco said. “We see this as a widespread problem,” he continued. “If it’s not affecting everyone in our community, everyone knows someone that it’s affected… The economy is causing massive displacement and we as a community need to figure out what we need to do to stop it.” Organizers said the resident reporters program ties into its holistic goal of connecting citizens to create change. “Media can be about more than just getting the word out,” said media coordinator Mitch Troutman, 25, of Wilkes-Barre. “It’s also really good for building relationships; going to talk to someone who’s in the same situation as you.” Steve Simko, an amateur political cartoonist and member of a group opposed to Marcellus Shale gas drilling in and around Harding, said he attended the meeting Saturday because the stories of citizens whose lives have been negatively impacted by gas drilling do not receive adequate attention in the media. “I came to see what was in-

volved; how we can promote better communication to the people of the actual facts,” Simko said. Sindaco started the Organizing Center three years ago after working in human-rights organizing for 15 years, mostly in Philadelphia. He said he came to Wilkes-Barre because he saw a need for community organizers in the area. “I recognized that after the decline of unions, there wasn’t much ability to organize in small and medium-size towns, at a time when we need it most,” Sindaco said. He hopes that bringing organizers together around issues like housing and natural gas drilling will foster long-term collaboration, eventually leading them to take on higher goals. “All of these issues are interwoven, based on issues like economic change; what do we want to do about where we’re going in the future,” he said. Later this summer, the center hopes to bring together about 100 community leaders from this area and others for a conference to further that collaboration.

Cancer fighters get the power

By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE – The lawn at Kirby Park turned purple on Saturday as hundreds gathered to participateinthe3rdAnnualPowering Past Pancreatic Cancer 5K Run/1Mile Walk. “I started the event three years ago because my grandfather died two weeks after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer,” said event founder Erin Ryan. “We averaged around 100 people in the past, but the event has gathered steam over the past three years.” Ryan said that pancreatic cancer is generally undiagnosed until

it is in terminal stage. And more research is needed to detect the disease at an earlier, more responsive stage. “My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a year ago and I wanted to do something to raise awareness, so I decided to take over the event this year,” explained event coordinator Jackie Degnan as she stood beneath an elaborate arch of purple balloons. “Next year we hope to make the run a national Purple Stride Event,” added Degnan, referring to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, which sponsors the events internationally.

The National Cancer Institute states that more than 43,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer are diagnosed each year, with 38,000 being terminal. Research has shown genetics as a likely risk factor in contracting the disease. “We really have a beautiful day for the run,” said volunteer Jason JolleyofDallas.“Iwantedtocome out and help in any way I could. I’m looking forward to a great event.” The organizers thanked the many volunteers and sponsors who worked to make the event a success. Proceeds will go the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

After the death of Joshua Miller, a Pittston Township native killed in the line of duty on June 7, 2009, Luzerne County Detective Chris Lynch had an idea as a way to remember the fallen Pennsylvania state trooper. Lynch and state police Sgt.

Bill Goldsworthy now working for Gov. Tom Corbett. The mayor wants Tony Denisco to succeed him.

By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

WEST PITTSTON – Bill Goldsworthy will wear two hats until Tuesday, when he submits his resignation as mayor. Goldsworthy, 56, has been hired as deputy director of the Northeast regional governor’s office that covers 18 counties. He began working in the position that pays $65,000 a year last week, he said Saturday. Goldsworthy said he traveled to Harrisburg a few times to meet with representatives of Gov. Tom Corbett about the position that opened with the change in administraGoldsworthy tions in January. “I was very interested in it,” said the lifelong Republican. Goldsworthy said he had no idea whether others were interviewed for the spot, and he said he was excited to support the governor. As deputy director, he will be the governor’s point man in the region, meeting with elected officials, dealing with constituents and issues that develop, including natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale formation. “I’m sure that will be one of the topics,” said Goldsworthy. He shares the office with Harry Forbes, a former Pike County commissioner. Throughout the state there are four regional offices. For nearly 15 years, Goldsworthy has been mayor of the borough of West Pittston. He also served on council and as a zoning officer and fire chief. He said he was allowed to stay in public office until next week and will recommend Tony Denisco to succeed him in office. “He’s a great people person,” said Goldsworthy. The two men have worked together for 20 years, said Goldsworthy. “He has the community at heart,” he said, adding Denisco is a lifelong resident of the borough and has been very active in the community. Denisco serves as the borough’s Emergency Management Agency director. Likewise, Goldsworthy said he is committed to working for the betterment of the community. His new position gives him the opportunity to help a lot more people compared to the mayor’s office. In addition to departing his elected office, Goldsworthy will leave his position as vice president of major accounts for Golden Business Machines in Kingston, where he has worked for 31 years, and give up his real estate license. He added he is taking a pay cut in his new job but is able to deal with that because of changes at home. “I have four children who have graduated and moved out of the house,” he said.

The Rev. Jack Prater and his wife Ingrid have served Prince of Peace Episcopal Church in Dallas for many years. Recently the church honored them by naming the community room for them.

A remarkable couple is honored By JANINE UNGVARSKY For The Times Leader

Once upon a time, a young couple drove past a small church in Dallas. He already knew he wanted to be a priest. She already knew she wanted to be a certain priest’s wife. “Wouldn’t it be nice to have that as our church?” they asked each other. A few years, two ordinations and a wedding later, the Rev. Jack Prater and his wife, Ingrid, found themselves called to serve at that little church and for the next 35 years, Prater ministered to the spiritual needs of the congregation as rector of Prince of Peace Episcopal Church.

Darell Dones, supervisory special agent of the Behavioral Science Unit of the FBI, a nationally renowned gang expert.

Gates: Patience needed for war

U.S. Defense secretary held out the possibility of a turning point in Afghanistan by year’s end. By ROBERT BURNS AP National Security Writer

Al-Qaida leader killed

KABUL, Afghanistan — U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates appealed for patience with an unpopular war and said Saturday that only modest U.S. troop reductions would make sense this summer in a still unstable Afghanistan. On his 12th and final visit to Afghanistan as Pentagon chief, Gates held out the possibility of a turning point in the war by year’s end. But Gates, who’s retiring June 30, said much depends on whether the death of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden creates a new opening for peace negotiations with leaders of the Taliban insurgency.

This and other aspects of the war, now in its 10th year, were on the agenda for Gates’ meetings Saturday with Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. and NATO commander here, and with U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry. A decision on U.S. troop reductions is expected in the next couple of weeks. Gates stressed the effectiveness of U.S.-led NATO military operations against the Taliban over the past year, after President Barack Obama ordered an extra 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan. Gains have been notable in the south, the heartland of the Taliban movement. “I believe that if we can hold on to the territory that has been recaptured from the Taliban ... and perhaps expand that security, that we will be in position toward the end of this year to perhaps have a successful opening to reconciliation” with the Taliban — “or at least be in a position where we can say we’ve

turned the corner here in Afghanistan,” Gates said. “Making any changes prior to that time would be premature,” he added. Together with remarks he made about Afghanistan earlier Saturday at a security conference in Singapore, Gates’ statements suggest that he wor-

ries that large U.S. troop cuts this year would run the risk of undermining battlefield gains and jeopardize a NATOendorsed plan to remove all foreign combat troops from Afghanistan by 2015. The White House is pushing for bigger reductions than are favored by the military.

A ROYAL REVIEW FROM THE DUKE

to be a longshot choice to succeed Osama bin Laden was believed killed in a U.S. drone attack as he met with other militants in an apple orchard in Pakistan, an intelligence official said Saturday. If confirmed, it would be another blow against the terror organization a month after the slaying of its leader. The purported death of Ilyas Kashmiri — who also was accused of killing many Pakistanis — could help soothe US-Pakistan ties that nearly unraveled after the May 2 bin Laden raid. While it was unclear how Kashmiri was tracked, his name was on a list of militants that both countries recently agreed to jointly target as part of measures to restore trust, officials have said. It also would be a major victory for U.S. intelligence, particularly the controversial CIA-run drone program.

WILDWOOD, N.J.

Amusement park reopens A Jersey shore boardwalk amusement park that closed after an 11-yearold girl tumbled from a moving Ferris wheel to her death reopened Saturday while investigators tried to figure out what caused her fall. A spokeswoman for Morey’s Mariner’s Landing Pier in Wildwood said the park reopened at noon. It was closed Friday night, hours after the death of 11-year-old Abiah Jones. Jones was with her classmates from Pleasant Tech Academy when she plunged about 100 feet, from near the top of the ride, and landed in the passenger loading area, police and amusement park officials said. She was pronounced dead at a hospital about 45 minutes later. The Ferris wheel was to remain closed until the cause of the girl’s fall is determined. ZAGREB, CROATIA

Pope is backing Croatia Pope Benedict XVI strongly backed Croatia’s bid to join the European Union as he arrived in the Balkan nation Saturday, but said he could understand fears among euroskeptics of the EU’s “overly strong” centralized bureaucracy. The pontiff also expressed the Vatican’s long-running concern that Europe needs to be reminded of its Christian roots “for the sake of historical truth” as he began his first trip as pope to Croatia, a deeply Roman Catholic country that his predecessor visited three times during and after the bloody Balkan wars of the 1990s. Benedict is spending the weekend to mark the Croatian church’s national family day, and he was warmly welcomed by thousands of young Croats who braved a steady rain while waiting for Benedict to arrive for an evening prayer vigil.

Forensic expert takes stand An FBI forensic expert says a hair removed from the trunk of Casey Anthony’s car is consistent with hair from a dead body. Karen Korsberg Lowe testified Saturday in Anthony’s murder trial. The Florida mother is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. Lowe says she examined a lightbrown, 9-inch-long hair for this case. She says the hair was similar to one pulled from Caylee’s brush and was not similar to a hair sample from Casey Anthony. She also says the hair showed characteristics consistent with decomposition.

Choppers strike Gadhafi troops

British and French attack gives NATO campaign more strength and boosts Libyan rebel effort. By HADEEL AL-SHALCHI Associated Press

BENGHAZI, Libya — British and French attack helicopters struck for the first time inside Libya, giving the NATO campaign more muscle against Moammar Gadhafi’s forces. Hours later, Tripoli

was hit by another round of airstrikes and at least eight explosions sounded in the capital. The use of helicopters significantly ramped up NATO’s operations and was a major boost to Libyan rebels, just a day after the fighters forced government troops from three western towns and broke the siege of a fourth. It was yet another erosion of Gadhafi’s power since the eruption in mid-February of the uprising to end his 42-year rule. NATO said the helicopters struck

troops trying to hide in populated areas, military vehicles and equipment. Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard, commander of the Libya operation, said the engagement “demonstrates the unique capabilities brought to bear by attack helicopters.” Until now, NATO has relied on attack jets, generally flying above 15,000 feet (4,500 meters) — nearly three miles (five kilometers) high. The jets primarily strike government targets but there have been cases where they missed and hit rebels instead.

Prevention drugs aren’t advised for women at average risk of breast cancer. Those at higher risk because of gene mutations or other reasons already have two choices for prevention — tamoxifen and raloxifene. But these drugs are unpopular because they carry small risks of uterine cancer, blood clots and other problems. “Here’s a third breast cancer prevention drug that may in fact be safer,” said Dr. Allen Lichter, chief executive of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Injured Yemen leader takes Saudi offer By AHMED AL-HAJ Associated Press

Two Wallenda family members re-enact fatal wire walk in Puerto Rico By DANICA COTO Associated Press

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Two members of a famed acrobatic family commemorated patriarch Karl Wallenda on Saturday by completing the stunt that killed him, walking between two towers of a seaside hotel on a wire 100 feet (31 meters) above the ground,

porting the local American Lung Association. Donna Ray-Reifler, manager of special events for the Lung Association, says that respiratory problems can be fatal. “Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer to begin with. Lung cancer is something we are very interested in finding answers for, like COPD, emphysema, pneumonia, asthma, among others. These are the major killers. “Asthma is definitely still as disturbing as it has been in the past. It’s not

was like coming home,” Carson said. Even after Carson and her family moved away, they stayed in touch with the Praters. “By then, they were not only part of our parish, they were friends,” she said, “so we stayed in contact and it was like we never left.” A few years ago, Carson returned to the area and to Prince of Peace. When the idea of honoring the Praters came up, she said she was happy to take the lead on arranging a special day for her long-time friends. “They did so much for the parish and they care about everybody. Even when you were talking to them and asking about them, they turned it around to find out how you were and what was going on with you,” she said. “They are just wonderful people.” It’s clear the Praters felt the same about their years at Prince of Peace. “The whole experience at Prince of Peace was tremendous. That’s why were there forever, for 35 years,” said Jack, 77. “It was such a warm community to be in. It always was that way.” “We had antique shows, we had craft shows and couples group. There was lots of fellowship, and not just on Sunday mornings. The spirit was good

Nik Wallenda said he had planned to walk by himself across a 300-foot-long (91-meter-long) wire, but his mother convinced him to let her join him on the reconstruction of the fatal 1978 stunt. “I’ve been mentally prepared my entire life for this,” he said. “I’ve seen the video of my great-grandfather falling

hundreds of times. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for all of us, for our family.” He said he initially rejected a request by his mother, Delilah Wallenda, to join him. “Just because of safety,” he said. “We’ve obviously lost several family members doing this.”

that we’ve backed down with research. We still have our asthma camp in the community, and we still have educational programs as well.” The Cross Valley Federal Credit Union has been the event’s main sponsor since its inception. Members of the credit union were on hand, raffling prizes and conducting registration. Some items up for raffle were an Apple I Pad, Knoebels Amusement Resort all-day passes, and more. Chris George, a member of e-services for the credit union, was on hand aiding in the raffle. He said the walk really hits home because his son is an asthma victim. He took place in the walk. “This (event) makes people more aware of lung disease,” said Colleen

Phillips, vice president of marketing for the Cross Valley Federal Credit Union. “People come out, and it gets them talking.” People like 8-year old Elisha Miller of Luzerne. She walked with her mother, Susan Miller, in this, her first time. “It’safuntime,andthemascotsarefunny.” Elisha suffers from asthma but didn’t need to use her inhaler for the walk. Her mother said it was a good day. Ray-Reifler says that the goal of the day has been unchanged in the past eight years. “It’s actually a celebration at the end supporting new research. It’s a lot of fun and people really get a kick out of it.”

there,” said Ingrid, 78. “Gosh, we had so much fun! The couple smiled recalling the youth group and the craft group that met in the very room now being dedicated to them. “We had a group there that helped design the diocesan quilt, which is still on display in the cathedral (Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem),” Ingrid said, noting that the group was so fun to be with that a woman who was neither a parishioner nor even Episcopalian joined in to help with the quilt design. Of course, in 35 years all the moments weren’t good. Both Jack and Ingrid quickly recall one of the worst: a mid-1960s funeral. “I buried a whole family – mother, father and three children – from a New Year’s Day early morning fire. That is very much imprinted in my mind,” said Jack. The Praters said there were a few other much more minor challenges, what they called “little edges,” from time to time. “But they were smoothed over and you don’t see those now when you’re looking back,” Jack said. Looking all the way back to the beginning finds Jack, a Forty Fort native, and Ingrid, who is from Germany, meeting when both were students at what was then Wilkes College. Even then, he said, he knew he was headed for the priesthood. “I was brought up in and al-

ways loved everything about the Episcopal Church. I just knew that was what I wanted to do,” said Jack, whose older brother and younger sister are also Episcopal priests. After graduating from Wilkes, he attended Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria. His classes and fellowship with his classmates stand out as happy memories of that time, Jack said. The food does not. “But they had peanut butter jars on every table, so if you didn’t like the food you could eat that,” he said. He was ordained as a transitional deacon at Grace Church in Kingston in 1958. “When you’re ordained (in the Episcopal Church), you’re a deacon for the first six months so you can’t celebrate the Eucharist,” he said. That came after his second ordination at Holy Apostles Church in St. Clair. “I can remember the first Eucharist I served,” Jack said. “It was Christmas Eve and it was such a humbling experience to have that privilege given to you. It was just marvelous.” For a time, his ministry was in the St. Clair and Minersville area, where he celebrated Masses at three churches each week. In 1962, the Prince of Peace congregation chose him as their new rector. “I remember being very impressed with the area when they took us for a tour, and with the new Dallas High School which

The song was renamed “The Hero’s Call” to incorporate the wider tribute. “There was such an outpouring of emotion by the public after Josh was killed,” Lynch said. “I was sitting at home one night watching TV when I thought there have been songs written for other heroes, for police, and the military. Why not a song for Josh?” Lynch picked up his bagpipe and with Sands, “The Hero Call” was born. After the song made its debut, Lynch started asking around about producing the song onto a compact disc. Other state troopers referred Lynch to Kevin McGroarty, of West Pittston, who is on the board of directors for the state police Camp Cadet program. “They played the song a couple of times and I said,

By then, the couple had two children and a third on the way. “We looked at it and said, ‘There is our high school, where our children will go.’ It was so new, so beautiful.” The Prater children did all graduate from Dallas, and all took as active a role in the Prince of Peace congregation as their parents. The two boys served as acolytes, while the Prater’s daughter played the organ. “We hired her as a substitute until we could find a replacement -- which happened 30 years later,” Jack said, noting with obvious pride that his daughter “did a great job” as organist and choir

‘we need to record this,’” McGroarty said. Recording sessions lasted more than 50 hours at the Rock Street Music studio, whose owner Richie Kossuth donated the space. Executive producers of the CD are Kevin Nesses and Shanna Zell of Oasis Records, based in Lodi, N.J. Music contributors are Jim Brennan and John Mahon. Area businesses that contributed to the production are Ace Robbins Heating and Propane, Tunkhannock, Sheldon Kukuchka Funeral Home, Tunkhannock, and Tunkhannock Monument Company. All proceeds of the sale of the CD will be given to the Miller family, Lynch and McGroarty said. “This is the first compact disc I worked on involving bagpipes, it was definitely a learning experience,” McGroarty said. “It’s an interesting CD for a noble cause.” Lynch said it was McGroarty’s idea to change

director. “It was our family church,” said Ingrid of the church she and Jack still belong to. “Our children were married there, Jack baptized many of our grandchildren there. I don’t think the kids minded it, being preacher’s kids. That might be because other than service to Prince of Peace, family was the most important thing in the Praters’ lives. “I could have loved golf, but I preferred not to take that time away from the kids,” Jack said. “He always took Saturday off, not Monday like many ministers, so we could have that time with the children,” Ingrid said. Another priority for Jack during his ministry was visits to his parishioners. “He left Monday at 8 a.m. and went calling. That’s how he expressed his pastoral calling, seeing where people were living, where they were having difficulties, where they had joys,” Ingrid said. “To me, it was essential,” Jack said. “That’s how you get to know your people. There’s no better way to get to know them. And doing that, I had 35 great years of ministry.” That ministry also included decades of prison ministry, where the Praters taught a course in decision making and problem solving at the State Correctional Institution at Dallas. To this day, both Jack and Ingrid continue ministering to several life inmates

“The Hero Miller” to “The Hero’s Call” to honor fallen first-responders and service members. “Chuck (Sands) and I were OK with the change, we just took it one step further to honor all those killed while protecting the public and our country,” Lynch said. Miller was killed in a shooting while attempting to rescue a kidnapped child on Route 611 in Coolbaugh Township, Monroe County. Lynch said Miller’s widow, Angela, agreed to the production of the compact disc. “It took several months to get it to where we liked it,” Lynch said. “We spent hours in the studio, recording and re-recording and editing, and recording. There are other songs on the CD honoring all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.”

through correspondence. He retired in 1997 and other than a brief five-month stint as an interim pastor at Trinity Church in West Pittston while that parish was calling a new rector, the Praters’ lives turned more toward family and spending time with their growing brood of grandchildren, which now numbers 11. But, Jack concedes, some parts of being retired have been hard. “I miss the people, and I miss offering services. Christmas Eve and Easter especially, that’s very difficult for me, not to be celebrating Eucharist,” Jack said, his regret and longing visible on his face. Reflecting on their years of service, Jack said he knows how he would like to be remembered. “I want them to say I was a caring priest,” he said. “That was always my simple hope and wish.” The fact that the Prince of Peace congregation is naming the parish community room after him would seem to acknowledge that he has accomplished goal. “This is just unbelievable, and humbling,” Jack said. “When they named him Rector Emeritus at the time of his retirement, that was honor enough. This just tops it off,” said Ingrid. “It has been so great to be at Prince of Peace. It was a wonderful, wonderful time.” “It certainly was,” said Jack. “That’s why we stayed there 35 years. That’s why we’re still there.”

Pennsylvania considers approving photo ID bill So far, more Democrats than Republicans are publicly talking about the bill. By PETER JACKSON Associated Press

HARRISBURG — About once a month on average since the beginning of the year, Republicancontrolled states have approved laws requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls. Kansas, South Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin, Tennessee — all have either adopted new requirements or expanded existing identifica-

tion laws to specify photo IDs, pushing the total number of states that require them to13. Sixteen other states require non-photo identification. Pennsylvania — with its huge Republican gains in last year’s midterm elections that included the governorship and control of both houses of the Legislature — is now poised to consider a photo ID bill. The House State Government Committee sent it to the floor and initial consideration could come as early as next week. Whether the state will join or buck the national trend is anyone’s guess.

In 2006, mostly on the strength of Republican votes, the Legislature passed a bill that required all voters to show identification every time they vote. Former Democratic governor Ed Rendell vetoed the measure, saying it would make voting unnecessarily difficult. Currently, only people voting in a polling place for the first time are required to show ID. Whatever the outcome, the latest bill sets up a showdown between Republicans who have fought for years to require identification at the polls, saying that is needed to prevent election fraud, and Democrats who say there is

little evidence of abuse and that the GOP’s real motivation is to hold down turnout among voter groups that lean toward Democratic candidates. So far, more Democrats than Republicans are publicly talking about the bill. The state Democratic Party planned to put up online ads urging senior citizens to call their legislators to register opposition to the measure. Older people, as well as low-income people, students and minorities, are among the groups that critics say would be most affected by the proposal. “It addresses a problem that

doesn’t exist,” party spokesman Mark Nicastre said. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, would require all voters to show poll officials a valid document issued by the state or federal governments that includes their name and photograph. Those who lack such documentation could obtain identification cards that the state Department of Transportation would be required to issue at no cost to the voter. Metcalfe, R-Butler, says the legislation would reduce voter fraud by requiring nothing more than a form of identification that is al-

ready routinely required for activities that include operating a motor vehicle, boarding a commercial airplane or cashing a check. The bill “is essential to preserving the sacred freedom of voting from the ever-present forces of corruption seeking to override the will of the people,” Metcalfe said. The American Civil Liberties Union, Common Cause and the League of Women Voters all oppose the measure. Democrats argue that many senior citizens lack government-issued identification and that the additional red tape could discourage them from voting.

Philosophical differences slow down pace of Pa. governor’s agenda It is increasingly likely that Corbett’s major planks may have to wait until the fall.

er, R-Chester, expressed irritation that twice this year a Senate committee chairman has pronounced a bill “dead on arrival” after it passed the House. And amid finger-pointing over why a private-school voucher bill hasn’t passed the Senate, Schroder said he is planning to introduce his own two-bill package on the subject. Corbett’s spokesman, Kevin Harley, said there is still hope for at least a couple of the governor’s major priorities to pass in June. “June 30’s not here yet,” Harley said. “Certainly the priority is to get a balanced budget without raising taxes ... and we’ll continue to move forward on these other issues. It’s very important to get these things done.” Still, the governor’s ability to persuade lawmakers is in question. For instance, a school voucher bill remains stuck in the Senate

even after Corbett’s staff got involved in hammering out details. And the House last week voted down a major unemployment compensation bill that he had supported. “You run for governor, and on a 30,000-foot level you can run on a ‘I’m for that and I’m against that’ level,” said David Patti, president and CEO of Pennsylvanians for Effective Government, a Harrisburgbased business advocacy group. “Once you’re elected, you come down to a 5,000-foot level. Now you get into tactical issues and implementation issues that you nev-

er thought of before — and that takes some time.” Corbett’s deftness at pushing his agenda should improve once he gets more top aides firmly in place and learns how to use the bully pulpit that comes with the office, Patti said. One high-priority Corbett bill with a chance of passage in June deals with “joint and several liability” — the ability of a wronged person to recoup money for damages in court — that is pitting advocates of business owners, insurers and health care institutions against trial lawyers and unions. The law in Pennsylvania currently allows a person to pursue all of the jury-awarded damages from a group of defendants in an accident, regardless of how big or small their share of the blame is. Often, a primary defendant is unable to pay their share. A bill that passed the House in April would limit the ability of a wronged person to recoup a higher proportion of damages than the share of an individual defendant’s blame, which opponents say could leave many accident victims

wronged, injured and without justice. The governor believes the bill is important to the economic vitality of Pennsylvania, Harley said, and the bill’s supporters say the current law is harmful and unfair to business owners. The measure is currently sitting in the Senate Judiciary Committee, where the chairman, Sen. Stewart Greenleaf, R-Montgomery, is studying it and holding hearings and meetings. Patti, Turzai, Corbett and others point out that similar bills have passed Republican-controlled legislatures twice in the past decade, but one measure was overturned by state appellate courts on procedural grounds and the other was vetoed by former governor Ed Rendell. And Senate leaders who are fielding complaints from the bill’s champions say they won’t pressure Greenleaf or circumvent his committee. “When I’m in the Legislature, I’m going to do what I think is fair and just,” Greenleaf said. “That’s what I’m all about. I don’t feel any pressure.”

Shooting survivor Paul Schrade creates complex of public schools

Victim preserves the legacy of slain politician By LINDA DEUTSCH AP Special Correspondent

LOS ANGELES — Paul Schrade easily recites the details of the last day of his life before he was shot in the head alongside his friend, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. He knows it all by heart, every step he took, every sight and sound as if it was yesterday. In the 43 years Sunday since that transformative night when Schrade came close to losing his life, he has understood the details. But he is shadowed to this day by nagging questions: What really happened that night and who made it happen? Schrade, at 86, tall, white haired and projecting the vitality of a much younger man, has given the second half of his life over to preserving Kennedy’s legacy and trying to unravel the puzzle of his friend’s assassination. He believes there was more than one gunman in the pantry of the Ambassador Hotel when he and Kennedy and four others were shot.

And he plans to publish his story about what he has learned. For now, he declines to say what that is. He estimates he has spent a cumulative 10 years chasing clues and he’s still at it. “It’s always on my mind,” Schrade said. “It has to be. The family is not involved because they can’t handle reliving the pain and suffering and they don’t want to expose Ethel to it. But I always keep a member of the family informed if we’re about to release anything.” But Schrade, who tries to live by the ideals Kennedy espoused, has a lot more to think about than the past. After sinking into deep depression following the assassination, Schrade found a way to move on by achieving a dream which some thought could never happen, the creation of a complex of public schools dedicated to Kennedy’s

legacy on the Ambassador Hotel site. “Talk about the school, not about me,” he urged a reporter. But the two are inevitably intertwined. The recently opened state-of-the-art school library bears a large sign: “Paul Schrade Library,” and there is a plaque

noting his “23 years of struggle to build the finest living memorial” to Kennedy. The Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools opened last September. The complex of six schools where a student can go from kindergarten to high school graduation in one location was

headed. Now, it will bear his name as well. At a President’s Reception held Saturday evening in O’Hara’s honor, local businessman Charles Parenteannouncedthatthebuilding currently known as Gateway Corners would be renamed Thomas J. O’Hara Hall. O’Hara will step down June 30 after 12 years as the college’s eighth president. The Hazleton native and former professor was also awarded the Kilburn Medal.

built at a cost of $578 million, the most expensive school in the nation. The campus includes a theater where the old Cocoanut Grove night club stood with Moroccan decor and the same palm leaf carpet pattern that was emblematic of the room where movie stars and presidents posed for pictures. It is a reminder of how the hotel looked the early morning hours of June 5, 1968 when triumph turned to tragedy in seconds. Schrade remembers the cheers of the crowd and the touch of Kennedy’s hand as they mounted a platform before thousands of supporters who helped him win the California Democratic presidential primary. “He gave me new recognition for everything I had done. He thanked me from the podium and he grabbed my hand. I was the only one he shook hands with on the

platform ,” Schrade said.. Schrade, then western regional director of the United Auto Workers Union, had been the labor chair of Kennedy’s campaign and was at his side at many events including a meeting with farmworker leader Cesar Chavez in rural Delano. On the fateful night, he was waiting with Kennedy to see if he would win the pivotal primary. ‘”He knew it was life or death politically that night,” says Schrade. “And it became a death.” But first, he said, there was joy as the tide of votes turned and Kennedy’s victory seemed assured. “There was a wonderful spirit upstairs on the fifth floor of the Ambassador Hotel,” he said. “I sat with Bob and Ethel. There came a point when the decision was made to go downstairs a little after midnight.”

TYPES OF HOMELESS

HOMELESS

• Chronic homeless: Lacking the necessary life skills to live on their own and to hold a job. • Episodic homeless: Possess some skills, but have a tendency to make bad decisions like addiction and/or alcohol dependency. • Situational homeless: Recently divorced or separated or jobless; no local family or family is alienated.

“I don’t know where they will go next.” Housed in the basement of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church at 35 South Franklin St., REACH is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Personal approach Wolownik, 53, the director for 10 years, goes about her job like a den mother hovering over her pack. She cares about her clients and they return the affection tenfold. The people “We’re that use REconcerned ACH services that they are worried about what an won’t be already uncerfuture able to get tain holds. where they don’t wantThey to their need to be. see go A certain “home” away. percentage But the realthat will never ization there is not be able to much that they get where can do about it leaves them they need even more frightened. to be.” “No kid says Stefanie that when he Wolownik grows up he REACH wants to be executive director homeless,” said Bryan Hogan, 49. “If this place closes, a lot of people will be stuck.” Wolownik said REACH provides a place for homeless people to go everyday; to hang out, kibbitz, joke around, watch TV, and relax. It gives them somewhere to go to escape the challenge of not having anywhere to go. “When they’re here, they are not out wandering around the streets,” Wolownik said. “Many of them can’t make it out there. They have mental and/or physical issues.” So they walk through the door, down the steps to the church basement where they are welcomed, not judged.

HOMELESS TERMS Couch surfing: Moving from place to place, crashing on couches until they are evicted by intolerable landlords. Abandos or abandominiums: Vacant buildings where homeless people seek shelter at night.

Bryan Hogan sorts some dishes that were donated to REACH. Hogan said that sometimes he will volunteer to help out with different jobs at REACH.

They are treated with respect and with a sincere desire to be helped. As Wolownik says, they get help to navigate through a complicated system to obtain benefits and services; to find jobs; to get their feet firmly planted on the road to recovery. Wolownik said REACH helps those who can work find work and those who can’t work survive day to day. She talks about the homeless women she deals with – “couch surfers” she calls them. These are women who bounce from apartment to apartment sleeping on couches until they are discovered by landlords and are removed. When they can’t find another couch to crash on, the women join their fellow homeless men in “abandominiums” – vacant

buildings that are used for shelter. Morning roll call Wolownik said when Shepherds of the Streets began, the purpose was to keep families together and out of the foster care system. Now, Wolownik said, the goal is to keep people’s lives together. She does roll call every morning to check for missing regulars. Two of Wolownik’s “family of homeless people” – Robert “Bobby” Klein and James Moore Jr. died in a fire last week at 73 Sullivan St., a 15-minute walk from REACH. “I really don’t know what will become of them,” Wolownik said of her clients. “That’s why we are so worried. We’re concerned that they won’t be able to get where

they need to be. A certain percentage will never be able to get where they need to be.” Wolownik said 13 of her clients died last year and 13 more the year before. “As long as they’re alive, there’s always hope,” she said.

“God doesn’t give you an infinite number of chances; this may be your last chance. Opportunity knocks once; temptation leans on the doorbell.” State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, has spoken with the Rev. Daniel Gunn, rec-

tor at St. Stephen’s, about what can be done to help the homeless. “Rev. Gunn told me he has been speaking to Monsignor Joseph Kelly at Catholic Social Services about creating a permanent homeless shelter in the city,” Pashinski said. “There’s just no money for these programs.” Mayor Tom Leighton is aware of the decision to close the homeless day care center. He knows that the clients will have no place to gather in a matter of weeks and realizes many of them will be on the city’s streets. “With REACH closing, people in need of their services will still need and seek those services somewhere,” Leighton said. “The city has worked extremely hard to provide a safe and clean city for all, and that remains a priority. “The city does not discriminate, and we have no expectations that the closure of REACH will necessarily lead to an increase in any type of criminal or unseemly behavior in the downtown or other areas of the city. As they have on a daily basis, police will respond to situations as they develop and take appropriate action based on the facts of the situation,” he said. So where will they go? Wolownik said it best. “You will see them in libraries, coffee shops, hotel lobbies, stores and others,” she said. “They will be wherever they are tolerated for as long as they are allowed.”

REACH Continued from Page 1A

er Teresa’s Haven (formerly VISION); Ruth’s Place (women only); and the Domestic Violence Center. Stefanie Wolownik, executive director at REACH, says there isn’t enough being done to help the homeless and she says more people will be facing difficult situations in the future. Here are five stories and faces of the homeless in Wilkes-Barre: Mike Smith Originally from Phoenix, Ariz., Smith, 62, has lived in the Wilkes-Barre area most of his life. He’s been out of work for five years and had been homeless for two and a half years before recently getting an apartment. “I lost everything,” Smith said. “I never expected to be homeless. This place needs to stay open; people need help. I think things are only going to get worse.” The road to homelessness can be rough and Smith’s story is typical. He’s divorced and his four sons really don’t keep in touch, despite all of them living locally. His health is not good; he has cardiac and back problems. He receives Social Security Disability and that allows him to pay his rent and put gas in his car. He comes to REACH daily for a little food and help in searching for a job. “People like me need a place to call home,” Smith said. By that he means a place where he can meet his friends and talk. When REACH closes at 4:30 p.m., Smith heads to his apartment to a more lonely existence. He looks forward to returning to the church basement he and so many others call home. Skip Constable When Constable’s wife, Joanne, died, he said he didn’t handle it very well. Constable, 56, of Pittsburgh, has lived in Wilkes-Barre the last 17 months. A salesman, Constable has been out of work for more than two years. He has battled some physical issues as he’s tried to get back on his feet. While looking for a job, Constable stops at REACH and he works on his art. He paints and draws and finds pleasure in his art. He said Wolownik helped him connect with an apartment and a job. “There’s help around here if you want it,” Constable said. “I feel fortunate that I’ve been able to recover. If it wasn’t for REACH, I don’t think I ever would have been able to make it back.” Constable said people have the wrong impression of homeless people. He said the stereotypical image people have of the homeless is a drunken old bum. “The reality is that today’s homeless are not that different than ‘normal’ people,” he said. “Some are recently divorced or separated or have lost jobs.” Constable is an articulate man who can’t wait to start his new job.

“We all have choices and decisions to make,” he said. “I decided to do whatever I could to better myself.” If REACH closes, Constable said homeless people will lose the one place where they can have a cup of coffee and feel normal. “Nobody knows what they are going to do,” Constable said. “This is a good place; it shouldn’t just disappear.” Bryan Hogan Hogan, 49, was born in East Stroudsburg, moved to New Jersey when he was a child and ended up in Sugarloaf Township. He moved to Wilkes-Barre a few years ago to seek help. After Hogan’s 7-month-old son died he said he “spent the next year in a bottle.” “I spent all my savings,” he said. A veteran of the U.S. Navy, Hogan got help through the Veterans Assistance Subsidized Housing program. He lives in an apartment in Kingston. “REACH pointed me in the right direction,” Hogan said. “This is a place to gather to see friends and seek help. REACH helps people who are down and out.” Hogan said Wolownik helped him furnish his apartment. She found him a dresser, a bed, dishes and pots and pans. “Politicians must realize that the homeless problem is not going away,” Hogan said. “It will only get worse.” Hogan said his life is getting better. He volunteers as much as he can at REACH to try to help people get their lives back. On Wolownik’s door a sign hangs: “Nobody gets in to see the wizard; not nobody; not no how.” Kathy Boston A 48-year-old woman, Bos-

ton spent 15 years on the streets of Wilkes-Barre before she was able to rent an apartment five years ago. During her lifetime, Boston has done what she has had to do to stay above water. Wolownik said Boston has always found a way to feed her kids and provide diapers for them when they were young. A familiar face around the city, Boston always offers a smile and a hug. Homelessness and street living haven’t made her bitter – cynical, yes, but not bitter. “They always have money for things not as important as

this place,” Boston said of the world she lives in. “I just don’t understand why we can’t take care of people.” Boston has an apartment now. She’s proud of that. She is determined to keep the roof over her head. No more street living for her. And she cares about her fellow men and women. “There should be more funding for the homeless,” she said. “They should build a Homeless Hotel.” Jeb A handyman who still does carpentry and odd jobs, Jeb lives in the woods somewhere in Larksville. He says his place

isn’t so bad. He lives under a tarp and he has more than one level to his woodsy pad. At 56, Jeb has no family – his past includes a marriage and kids, but he doesn’t talk about that time. “It can’t be reconciled,” Jeb says. Originally from Williamsport, Jeb has lived in the woods for nine years. He said he survives the winters by using a kerosene heater and wearing more clothes. He visits REACH every day. He wouldn’t give his last name; he said he’s off the grid and wants to stay there. “If not for this place, I

would have no identity,” Jeb said. “This place means a lot to a lot of people – a lot of them have no place to go.” And where will they go after July 1? “You’ll see them in storefronts, parks and hotel lobbies,” Jeb said. “And the next stop for a lot of them will be jail.” Jeb said he has been all over the U.S. and he has experienced the homeless scene in many cities. He said REACH is the best program he has ever encountered. “They help people,” he said. “That’s what this place has done for me.”

Luzerne County begins taxing some church properties By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County has started taxing church properties that are not used for religious services, officials say. The county Board of Assessment Appeals had authorized the assessor’s office to proceed with the taxation plan around the end of 2009 after other counties starting issuing tax bills to closed churches and parochial schools. The first tax bills went out last

year, and some additional church properties were added to the rolls this year, records show. The law says all churches or “actual places of regularly stated religious worship” should be exempt, but county Assessment Director Tony Alu said this condition isn’t met when there is no regular worship. County assessment records show an estimated 30 church properties have returned to taxable status to date. Most are part of the Diocese of Scranton, which

implemented a consolidation plan to close some schools and churches throughout the county to save money. The 30 properties have a combined assessed value of about $8.6 million, which equates to roughly $44,995 in county tax revenue. The rest of the tax bill varies based on each property’s school and municipal tax rates. Court-level assessment appeals are pending on at least 11 of the 30 properties, according to a review of records in the protho-

notary office. Scranton Diocese spokesman William Genello said the diocese has been reviewing each church property added to the tax rolls and files an appeal “if necessary.” “The diocese is committed to working with taxing bodies to ensure that taxes are properly applied and appropriately paid,” Genello said. Attorney Francis J. Hoegen has been handling most of the assessment appeals for the diocese, re-

cords show. Some church properties that were part of the diocese consolidation plan should remain exempt because they are still used for religious activities, Hoegen said. “The fundamental use hasn’t changed, but the frequency of use has changed in some cases,” he said. Some of Hoegen’s appeals attempt to return properties to taxexempt status, while others seek

assessment reductions. The assessments were lowered on several properties because the churches were demolished, according to county records. For example, the former St. Mark’s Roman Catholic Church in Jenkins Township was added to the tax rolls for 2010 at an assessment of $224,400 -- $9,000 for the land and $215,400 for the church. The property is now assessed at $15,000 because the church was torn down.

paid $230,000 in March for the former St. Nazarius Church in the Pardeesville section of the township, with plans to turn the property into a community center and fitness facility, said township Supervisor Bill Gallagher. “It’s a beautiful property. It overlooks the mountain,” Gallagher said. Santino Ferretti, of West Wyoming, and Patrick Hadley, of Pittston, paid $280,000 in December for the former Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Church on Division Street in Hughestown. The men have rented out the rectory and are converting the church into four apartments, said Hughestown Borough Council President Wayne Quick. The church closed last fall. “It was a concern of the residents when the church became vacant because they didn’t know what it was going to be,” Quick said. “They’re doing a nice job with the renovations. They did a lot of landscaping outside already.” The former St. John’s Church on Miller Street in Luzerne was sold last July for $28,200 to the Clarks Summit-based Celestial Church of Christ Word of God Parish, records show. The Celestial Church has been holding services in the building, said borough council President Michael Jancuska. “Right now it’s a productive building.

Pierucci died a month later, leaving the building’s fate unknown. Pierucci’s friend, Melissa Longazel, said he wanted the 7,822square-foot stone church because it was old like the treasures he planned to display inside. The church’s high ceilings would have been ideal for displaying his tapestries, Longazel said. Hazleton resident Thomas C. Bast is now the proud owner of the former rectory of Holy Trinity Slovak Roman Catholic Church on North Wyoming Street in Hazleton. He purchased the property through a Realtor in September for $125,000. Bast said he liked its first-floor suite and space for his extended family. The building once housed a priest, assistants, a housekeeper and cook, he said. People still refer to his house as the rectory because it’s next to the vacant and unsold church, he said. The church auditorium is across the street.

Relic of past use One lingering sign of his home’s past remains in the basement – a large safe that once stored church monetary collections. The safe door is open, but he can’t use it because nobody knows the combination. The safe is too heavy to remove. Bast said he feels at home in the former church property. “There are creeks and groans

The Hazle Township Municipal Authority is using the former Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus community building on Route 940 for offices and storage, said township Supervisor Gallagher. The authority paid $175,000 to buy the building in February. Another authority – the Luzerne County Housing Authority – bought the former Sacred Heart Church in Plains Township for $150,000 in January. The authority plans to demolish the church and convent and build an apartment building for the elderly, officials have said. Harrisburg resident Daniel McGlynn bought the former St. Vincent’s Church parsonage for $95,000 in September. McGlynn could not be reached for comment, and borough officials say they have not received a proposal from McGlynn stating how he plans to reuse the roughly 7,000square-foot brick residential property. At least one more purchase is in the works. Theatrical future The Nuremberg Community Players is about to close on the former St. Joseph Catholic Church in the Nuremberg section of Black Creek Township. Built in 1888, the church hosted its final Mass last June and is slated to be sold to the theater group for roughly $28,000. The theater group wanted a permanent home for its performances and chose the former church because it has good acoustics, pews that will provide

plenty of seating and room for a stage and would keep the group in the county’s southwest edge, said theater group member Ann Bonacci. “It’s very exciting because members of that congregation are pleased that the church will be used again,” Bonacci said. The Rev. Patrick McDowell, pastor of the Sacred Heart and St. Joseph Parish, said the sale will allow the parish to save money on maintenance and property taxes on the former church. Residents will still get to enjoy the building, and theater is a “proper fit” for a former sacred building, he said. The former St. Christopher’s in Bear Creek Township was sold with the condition that it can’t be used for any purpose that conflicted with church doctrine, Smith said.

The cross atop the steeple will be removed this summer, but the stained glass windows and part of the name will remain. The building will be called the St. Christopher Community Center, he said. “One of the reasons we’re keeping the stained glass and name is to preserve the history of that building,” Smith said. “People got married there. Children were baptized there. There is a sense of respect we have to have for that facility.” The Nuremberg Community Players haven’t decided on a name for its former church building, but the group has a plan to pay homage to its roots, Bonacci said. “We’re hoping to do “Godspell” as our first performance in

the new building. We thought that would be a great way to start,” she said. The deed for the sale of the former St. Nazarius Church in Hazle Township contains a detailed covenant stipulating that the property may not be used for any purpose that contradicts the teachings or doctrine of the Catholic Church or diocese. The buyers and their successors and heirs must “respect the nature of the prior use” as a church and may not use the property to “denigrate human dignity,” the deed says. The buyers must also “give proper respect” to the “right to life of all persons born and unborn,” it says.

where our role as educators played a role; teaching her that learning is fun, to love learning.” Both Sukanya and her parents said they did not expect her to win the contest and that the process of learning, not the prize, was their ultimate goal. “It wasn’t about winning; We want her to appreciate the language,” Abhi Roy said. “It was

more of a learning project, and not for just for her, for us too.” “They wanted me to win, but they didn’t expect me to win or put any pressure on me,” Sukanya said. “They were just really supportive and helpful.” So what did her parents think the moment she correctly spelled ‘cymotrichous’ and won the top award? “It was surreal,” Abhi Roy said. “At that moment you really don’t think too much.

will be to the students. “The greatest of all Tom’s accomplishments is that he’s made King’s the most student-centered college in the country,” said Eberhard Faber, IV, who served as chairman of the college’s board for most of O’Hara’s tenure as president. In offering a toast in honor of his long time friend and colleague, Faber said the event Saturday wasn’t a goodbye because O’Hara will return to the school to

teach after taking a year’s sabbatical to do mission work in Uganda, Bangladesh and India. He praised O’Hara for his accomplishments in making the school greener and safer, for expanding and renovating the facilities and for garnering national recognition for a school with a mission of providing a good education to students of working class parents.“He believes students are the most important thing and he inspires others to be-

lieve that, too,” Faber said. In addressing the crowd of more than 400 gathered in the Sheehy Farmer Center, which was also renovated during his presidency, O’Hara offered thanks to his family, friends and the King’s family and reminded them of the importance of relationships. O’Hara, who for the entire term of his presidency also served as a resident counselor in a freshman dorm at Holy Cross Hall, spoke of

watching each class develop intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and in maturity, and admitted to being teary eyed as he watches each class graduate. “I’m teary eyed because I can’t believe what I’ve seen before me and how they’ve changed,” he said. “I am who I am because of my relationships with you. You all have transformed my life,” O’Hara said. “God bless you, God bless King’s College and God bless this community.”

SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2011

In June 2010, Nahar traveled to Orlando for the Actors, Models, & Talent for Christ (AMTC) Summer Convention, which enabled him to test his acting chops in 10 different events.

TOM MOONEY REMEMBER WHEN

Go onward with humility and curiosity

S. JOHN WILKIN/THE TIMES LEADER

In addition to being an oncologist, Rajesh Nahar, of Medical Oncology Associates, Kingston, is also pursuing an acting career.

By HOLLY VAN LEUVEN For The Times Leader

ven though he has lived in the United States for 20 years and has mastered English, Rajesh Nahar still dreams in Hindi. Nahar, 47, is an oncologist with Medical Oncology Associ-

ates in Kingston. Recently, however, he has begun to pursue his dream of acting and is finding great success. The doctor/dramatist will be the first to tell you achievements did not materialize overnight. Much as his dreams every evening unfold in his native language, the roots of his waking dreams can be traced to his native land. “When I was growing up in Kolkata, [India] I was taught that you have to invest a lot of time into your ambitions before you can expect something to come from them,” Nahar says. That might explain some of his boyhood habits. “When I was young, I did not have a lot of access to American movies, but I was greatly influenced by Indian cinema, Bollywood,” he said, so much so that he would lock himself in his room and re-enact scenes

from the films. “I would practice alone in my room for hours and hours, often in front of a mirror to watch my expressions and to work on my timing.” Nahar’s selfteaching led to theater work and a cassette recording job in India. While his family recognized his talents for singing and acting, they had other hopes for their natural-born thespian.

daughters and three great-granddaughters. They live in Nanticoke. What inspired you, at age 50 back in 1972, to open a pizzeria and bar? “I was working up at a pencil factory in Mountaintop, but we lived a block away from here. My wife and I used to come in here once in a while, and the gentleman had this place for sale. I asked my wife, ‘Would you like to make pizza?’ She said, ‘Yeah,’ and I said ‘OK, we’re buying the place.’ I thought we’d keep it for three years, and we’re here for 39.” What do you enjoy about it? You seem to have a great family situation here, with your wife, son and granddaughters all helping out. “I enjoy everything. And I enjoy the customers. I’ll go out and have a drink with them by the bar sometimes. I don’t do as much as I used to, but I help when they get real busy, and I still help grate the cheese and

make sauce. My mind wants to do more, but the body can’t do it.” What’s your favorite style of pizza on your menu? “Pepperoni and sausage.” What do you do to relax? “I used to fish, until lately. I have to watch now, walking around stones and all ...” How do you stay fit? “First thing in the morning, as soon as I come in, I walk around the inn10 times to loosen up. And I have an exercise bike.” Music? “Johnny Cash. And polkas. I still listen to the polkas. Stanky (John Stankovic) comes in here on occasion.” Follow sports? “I like the Yankees and Phillies.” That’s an interesting mix. Who’d you root for in the 2009 World Series? “I’m always for the Yankees if they’re in the Series.” You’ve got some photos on display of yourself and NASCAR truck driving champion Todd Bodine. Your son says he married a girl from the area, and that you’re good friends. “He comes in here every time he’s in town.” See MEET, Page 4B

olemnly I gaze out from the podium at the auditorium full of young soon-to-be-grads in their gowns and mortarboards. Their young eyes are riveted upon me, since they know full well that in the next few moments I will present them with the golden capstone of their formal educations — a commencement address that would make a classical Roman orator proud, one that will ring in their memories forever. When they are old and gray they will shake their heads and say, “By God, he put me on the right track for sure.” Well, maybe not. Actually I think I’m the last person in the Western Hemisphere that any self-respecting school district or college would ever invite in to offer wisdom to the young folks. That being the case, here is my annual wish list of “what I would say to the grads if I had the chance.” Ahem! Guys and girls, did you know that your ancestors were dancin’ fools? Yes, it’s true: granddaddy and grandmama probably met one summer night in the pavilion at Sans Souci or Hanson’s parks. And — pay attention now — they were better candidates for “Dancing With the Stars” than you will ever be, because their high schools held a dance in the gym every week, with live music. Why do I bring up this odd cultural fact? I do so to show you that things in life change, sometimes for good and sometimes for ill. If you think everyone born before 1990 was nothing more than an evolutionary step on the way to your glorious self, and if you’re also convinced that the world will always be your familiar one of Facebook and music apps and somebody you’ve never heard of going to war for you, then you have the common sense level of that little swinging tassel on your cap. Point Number Two! Resist the temptation to get a tattoo, unless it’s so hidden and underplayed that no one except the undertaker will ever see it. Let’s say you’ve reached the final interview stage in your quest to become a partner in a law firm, the CEO of a pharmaceutical company, a superintendent of schools or a bishop. Confident and relaxed, you lean forward toward your would-be boss to make a point and a neon purple “Born to raise hell” suddenly flashes into view on your forearm. My, how unfortunate! Can you spell “longterm judgment”? Finally, I present you with one of the great mysteries of our time – the presence of Dallas Cowboys merchandise in every clothing department in Luzerne County. Although I’ve never personally seen anyone placing those be-starred hats and coffee mugs in front of the checkout clerk with a hearty “yeeehaw,” I’m sure it all didn’t just grow there and a manager ordered it because someone is buying it. Point: There will always be things in this world we do not understand fully. Scripture and science might someday lead us to the answers to what troubles us. In the meantime we should be humble — inquisitive, but humble — and see ourselves as pilgrims in the search for knowledge. Oh, we’re just positive that presidential candidate Joe Blow’s bumper sticker blather about (fill in the blank) really will keep America great. Right? Case closed! Well, can you tell me why a man in Honey Pot is this moment shedding tears of joy because he managed to get the last $49.95 shirt with “Romo” on the back? OK, everybody out! It’s party time.

ACTOR Continued from Page 1B

“Everyone in my family was in business. My father was a stockbroker. My grandfather encouraged me to be a doctor, to be something different, and one of my aunts, who was like a second mother to me, agreed with him.” Nahar’s relatives might have encouraged him to take up medicine for more than diversity’s sake. The oncologist, energetic but ever-humble, demurely admits that as a student at South Point High School in Kolkata, which enabled the brightest students to letter in academics, he earned the school’s special recognition five subjects: history, geography, biology, math, and physics. He decided to honor his family’s wishes and enroll in medical school, and the hours spent in front of the mirror gave way to hours spent in the lab. “True, I did not love medicine at first, but I have learned that if

Favorite city? “New York.” Favorite vacation spot? “Wildwood. I used to love to swim. And I can still swim, but not as much. They sort of watch me now.” Favorite TV show? “Sanford & Son.” Favorite food? “Filet mignon. And I like any kind of soup.”

you dig deep enough into anything, you will find something about it that interests you.” As if his early successes in acting didn’t prove it, Nahar has always had a gift for communicating. This skill enabled him to pass easily between the realms of art and science. “When I was young, I used to enjoy playing teacher with my cousins,” he says. “I would type up questions for them to answer. When they got them right, I gave them prizes, and when they got them wrong, I would explain to them why. Everything can be explained to someone in understandable terms — except maybe rocket science. When I go to a computer store, I look for the person who can answer my questions in a way I will understand, and I strive to be the person who can offer good explanations to my patients.” Nahar’s reputation as both a good student and teacher has served him well. In 1982, he earned his medical degree at Medical College Calcutta. In 1991, he traveled to Florida to vis-

it the aunt who had encouraged him to pursue medicine, his only relative in the United States. He liked it so much that he decided to stay. He went on to pass his U.S. medical licensing exam and scored in the top 1 percent. Nahar then completed his internship at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan and spent time in Lansing, Mich., and Syracuse, N.Y., before settling down in Wilkes-Barre with his wife, Manisha. Since 2002, Nahar has served as an oncologist with Medical Oncology Associates (MOA) in Kingston in conjunction with Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. It seemed the love he developed for reaching his patients had completely supplanted his acting ambitions until Dr. David Greenwald, a colleague at MOA, hatched a novel way to spread some holiday cheer. “It was December 2009 when Dr. Greenwald came to me with an idea,” he says. “He wanted to make a video to show at the office holiday party.” The video, called “Twilight at MOA,” parodied the

popular “Twilight” book series and had featured Nahar playing a comical vampire. The short film kept the 50-odd party guests in stitches, encouraging the oncologist to return to his childhood passion. In June 2010, Nahar traveled to Orlando for the Actors, Models, & Talent for Christ (AMTC) Summer Convention, which enabled him to test his acting chops in 10 different events. His performances in such categories as Monologue, Improvisation, Coldread and Commercial caught the interest of many top talent agencies, including Don Buchwald in New York City and Kristene Wallis in Los Angeles. The attention Nahar received in Orlando led him to dozens of auditions and projects. To pursue them, however, he had to make some weighty decisions. To balance both his passions, Nahar decided to limit his oncology practice. “I now work only Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for MOA,” he explains, “and I see my patients only at General Hos-

pital. Because of the last-minute nature of audition calls, it would be unfair to my patients if I tried to schedule regular office hours.” Now Nahar dedicates Monday and Tuesday to acting, often using these two days to attend drama or singing lessons, either locally or in New York. He acknowledges that this rekindling comes with concessions. “Since deciding to practice medicine only part time, I make about a fourth of what I used to. And if I am called to audition Wednesday through Friday, I have to decline.” Even still, Nahar has found a great deal of success in a short span of time. Most recently, his performance in the music video “Dr. Raj, Rapper” led to a nomination for Best Music Video at April’s 168 Film Festival in Los Angeles. The video, originally shown at the festival, can be viewed on Nahar’s YouTube channel. Nahar has garnered roles in several films now in production: he will play a mad scientist for a new horror film being produced by the New York Arts Academy, a

villainous role in the independent horror film titled “Catskill Park” and a leading role in an upcoming web series in which he will portray a locksmith. Nahar has even begun writing a comedy-drama of his own about an Indian family that moves to Edison, N.J. For now, Nahar’s projects are most accessible through his website and his YouTube account, but he hopes his dedication and talents will lead him to international recognition. The route to Nahar’s self-fulfillment has been more complicated and eventful than he ever imagined. “Everyone has to put down a dream for practical matters at some point,” he says. Nahar hopes, however, that everyone can find it within them to pick those dreams back up, even if the timing doesn’t seem ideal. Because to Nahar, who as a doctor lives his belief that everyone deserves a high quality of life, the only thing more fascinating than watching dreams unfold in Hindi or in English is to act them out in real time.

Always in the fridge? “Ice cream and cold cuts.” Favorite movies? “I used to like to go see cowboy pictures. There was a theater in Nanticoke called The Rex, and they mostly had cowboy pictures. I’d go and stay there twice to see them. Not just once. I liked them so much.” What were some of your more memorable experiences in World War II? “I was on torpedo boats. We were going through Brisbane, Australia, and the Australians were practicing

with their planes. They were diving at ships, and they took the top of our ship right off. They were practicing, and they got killed. Also, my brother was a bombardier, and I met up with him over there and went on a bombing mission with him in a B-24 over the Philippines. We left at 5 o’clock in the morning and came back about five in the afternoon. It was almost a 12hour mission.” Favorite quote? “My second grade teacher told us, ’You’ll find

out that it’s a hard, cruel world.’ That stuck with me.” It seems like many things in your life happened for a reason, right down to how you came up with your special pizza. “My father was from Poland, and my

mother was from here. My father worked in the mines, until he got black lung, and I helped them out as much as I could. I was only a kid, and I worked in a bakery, and that’s why they sent me to cooks and bakers school

when I got into the Navy. When I bought this place, they had a pretty good pizza, but I thought I could make the pizza better.” Alan K. Stout writes about local people. Reach him at 829-7131.

HIKE & BIKE

At Cloud9, our fitness philosophy goes against all you have been told before. One has to question what you have been told and by whom. It seems everyone is a self-proclaimed fitness expert, although not everyone has the physique to back up their philosophies. It is great to question the validity of something. Give us a chance, at least 3 months, and then you can be as skeptical as you want if you don’t notice any results.

Canucks win just seconds into OT

Player accused of biting foe scores two goals, including game-winning wraparound. By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Everybody knew Alex Burrows was fast. Just not this fast. With the second-speediest overtime goal in NHL playoff and finals history, Vancouver’s bitingly talented forward moved the Canucks halfway to their first Stanley Cup title. Burrows circled the net and scored a stunning goal 11 seconds into overtime, and Vancouver took a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup finals with a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins on Saturday night. Right after the opening faceoff of overtime, Burrows CANUCKS received a pass from Daniel Sedin and streaked down the BRUINS boards, eluding Boston captain Zdeno Chara behind the net before extending his stick for a wraparound goal, beating out-of-position goalie Tim Thomas for his second score of the game. Game 3 is Monday in Boston. Only four teams have rallied from an 0-2 series deficit to win the Stanley Cup finals in 46 tries, although Sidney Crosby’s Pittsburgh Penguins did it against Detroit in 2009. Burrows’ goal nearly was the fastest OT goal in finals history, taking just a bit longer than Brian Skrudland’s goal for Montreal 9 seconds into Game 2 against Calgary on May 18, 1986. Sedin tied it with 10:23 left in the third period, and Roberto Luongo made 28 saves for the Canucks. But the night belonged to Burrows, who avoided suspension for this game after being accused of biting Boston’s Patrice Bergeron in Game 1. He also up Sedin’s tying goal with a sharp pass from the slot. Thomas stopped 30 shots for the Bruins, but his trademark aggressiveness put him too far away from his net during the brief overtime. Burrows used his speed to elude the 6-foot-9 Chara before slipping the puck into Thomas’ unguarded net. Mark Recchi put the Bruins ahead in the second period with a

beating defending champion Francesca Schiavone of Italy 6-4, 7-6 (0) at Roland Garros on Saturday. The sixth-seeded Li used powerful groundstrokes to compile a 31-12 edge in winners, and won the last nine points of the match, a run that began when the fifth-seeded Schiavone was flustered by a line call she was sure was wrong. “China tennis — we’re getting bigger and bigger,” said Li, who is projected to rise to a career-best No. 4 in Monday’s new WTA rankings.

PARIS — As China’s Li Na tossed the ball while serving at match point in the French Open final, a cry from a fan in the stands pierced the silence at Court Philippe Chatrier. Distracted, Li stopped and let the ball drop. The words of support were in Mandarin: “Jia you!” — which loosely translates to “Let’s go!” After so many years of “Come on” and “Allez” and “Vamos,” there’s a new language on the tennis landscape.

Semifinals set at WVCC Classic By MATT PAGE For the Times Leader

HANOVER TWP. – Matt Kachurak walked up to the tee on the 15th hole, took out his 5-iron, and lofted a shot 189 yards within one foot of the pin. No big deal. Earlier he had hit a ball to within inches of the same pin. “It always makes it a lot easier,” said Kachurak about his two shots on 15.

The team of Williams and Olszewski were 1-up after a birdie on the second hole, but the Kachuraks took advantage of their opponents’ bogey on the seventh hole to even the match up. “We just tried to stay calm,” said Matt Kachurak. “Great opponents we had, they are both great players, we just wanted to chip away.” On the eighth, the Kachuraks started chipping and took a 1-up lead when Dave

Kachurak birdied the hole. From there, they never looked back. They built on their lead, going 2-up on the defending champions when Matt Kachurak birdied the par-5 12th hole. Matt stepped up on the 15th hole and put his shot within a foot of the pin to easily record a birdie and win the hole giving the Kachuraks a 3-up lead with three holes remaining. Olszewski and Williams would have had to win every hole to force a playoff, but both teams shot par on the 16th, halving the hole to give the Kachuraks a 3 and 2 victory. See CLASSIC, Page 5C

he principal owner and president of Wilkes-Barre’s newest sports franchise knows he’s taking a risk by introducing the area to indoor lacrosse. “We’re prepared to take a loss,” Jim Jennings said, “if we need to.” But Jennings is more accustomed to winning. The 49-year-old Easton resident has experienced success owning minor league basketball teams in the CBA and USBL – including one he inaugurated in the Lehigh Valley called the Pennsylvania ValleyDawgs. He served as the commissioner of the National Lacrosse League from 2000 to 2009, and it blossomed from a six-team regional venture into a 20-team national circuit. Now he believes he can turn a sport of wonder into a hit when his team debuts at Mohegan Sun Arena next year in the newly formed North American Lacrosse League. “This was just something you just have to go out and do,” Jennings said. “We’re not going to know if we’re successful until opening night.” But he believes Northeastern Pennsylvania has everything to gain by giving this wild and wacky game a chance. “It’s more exciting than basketball, for sure,” Jennings boasted. “And it’s easier to understand than hockey. Those two things are going to play in our favor. And it’s high-scoring.” Score one for optimism.

And where an indoor football team called the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers played in two af2 league championship games and still wound up losing money before the entire league folded. “We don’t think we’re going to come in here and average 10,000 (fans) right off the bat,” Jennings said. “Up here, what we need to do is average 1,500 to 2,000 a game to make money.” Could this sport really make it in an area that not only hasn’t embraced lacrosse, but hasn’t even thought about it? “We don’t know much about lacrosse,” Wilkes-Barre Township mayor Carl Kuren admitted. “But years ago, we didn’t know much about hockey. And we all know how that turned out.” The turnout is still respectable for that Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins – the AHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins - after more than a decade in the area. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees – the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees – still attract near-capacity crowds a few times a year despite steadily sagging overall attendance figures. Fans of those sports figure they can at least watch players on their way to the big time. Who has time to watch a sport relatively unknown in its new home? “Once people see this game and the action and the excitement, they’re going to keep coming back,” predicted Chip Santee, a minority owner in Northeastern Pennsylvania’s franchise. “I think you’re going to like what you see.” The challenge will be getting people to notice it. Because when it comes to this area’s fans in the stands, seeing is believing. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist.

Can KC pass on home-grown kid? Missing out on high school star could remind Royal fans of team’s passing on Pujols.

By DOUG TUCKER AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Once a year the St. Louis Cardinals come to Kansas City and remind the Royals how dumb they were in 1999. That’s the year Bill Althaus of the Independence, Mo., Examiner, practically pleaded with the front office to take a look at this muscular kid he’d seen belting tape measure home runs for Ft. Osage High, a short drive from Kauffman Stadium. They did. But they decided the big youngster lacked a true position and was probably going to have trouble keeping his weight down. So they sat by while St. Louis drafted Albert Pujols and molded him into a three-time National League MVP, one of the most feared power hitters of his time. Compounding the Royals’ embarrassment, the greatness that got away is put on full display year after year when the Cardinals play interleague games in KC. With friends and family cramming the park, Pujols has reached base in every game he’s ever played in the home park of the home town team that snubbed him.

Now, 11 years later, can the Royals afford to let it happen again? It’s a different administration, a different general manager. But can they take a chance on letting another potential superstar from their own neighborhood slip through their fingers? It’s a decision they’ll face on Monday night if local high school legend Bubba Starling is still available when the Royals pick overall No. 5. Unlike Pujols, whose vast potential was suspected only by a few, Starling is practically a household name among sports fans in Kansas City and wherever major league scouts and general managers discuss great 5-tool prospects. A multisport star for suburban Gardner-Edgerton High School just southwest of Kansas City, Starling was the Kansas high school athlete of the year. According to his growing legend, the modest, well behaved Bubba hits 500-foot home runs, throws a football 55 yards from his knees and dunks over basketball players who stand half a foot taller. Carrying 200 pounds on a chiseled 6-foot-5 frame, he’s the best high school athlete in the draft, according to Baseball America. And he certainly is no secret to the Royals. They’ve been courting him since he was 14, bringing him to games, letting him hit in their indoor facility. But, there’s a catch. A big

catch. Besides being a standout outfielder, he was a great high school quarterback who rushed for 2,471 yards and 31 touchdowns his senior season. Recruited by just about every major program in America, he picked Nebraska. As the baseball draft approaches, the Huskers are reminding him almost daily of their promise to also let him play baseball. The Royals aren’t saying what they’ll do if Bubba’s on the board. If they pass on him, fans are sure to be upset. “What I would say is that it’s obviously an important question

for our organization and for the Kansas City community,” said general manager Dayton Moore. “But it’s very inappropriate for me to comment at this time about any individual player. It’s not fair to the player, it’s not fair to our organization, and it’s not fair to the other 29 organizations.” Starling’s mom works at the high school and his dad is employed by an excavating company. There are also two athletic sisters in the modest, close-knit home which didn’t have cable TV until last year. With superagent Scott Boras as his advisor, and wielding serious leverage in the form of a Nebraska football scholarship, Starling will probably command a signing bonus in the $6 million-$8 million range no matter who drafts him. Could the family turn down such money? Could any family? It’s going to be a tough decision. In a twist, Boras, in this instance, will in effect be working on behalf of the club who drafts his client because he’ll be doing his best to talk Bubba into a baseball career. Rest assured the Cornhuskers won’t sit silently by. Athletic director and former coach Tom Osborne recently sent a handwritten note telling Bubba he could be another Eric Crouch, who won the 2001 Heisman at Nebraska.

BOXING

Martin’s comeback a setback The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Christy Martin returned to the ring six months after she was left for dead following a brutal attack, losing to Dakota Stone after breaking her right hand. Martin was winning on all three scorecards Saturday night at Staples Center when the ring doctor stopped the fight at 1:09 of the sixth and final round. Jim Martin, her husband and longtime trainer, is charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery for the attack on Martin on Nov. 23 at their home in Orlando, Fla. His trail is scheduled for October. Martin had told him that she was leaving him for another woman. “The Coal Miner’s Daughter” continues to battle emotional scars but recovered quickly enough physically to schedule a fight for April. She pulled out because of a rib injury.

Twirling Candy captures Californian Stakes at Hollywood Park The Associated Press

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Trainer John Sadler’s overwhelming favorite Twirling Candy used a huge rally from fifth at the top of the stretch to win the $150,000 Californian Stakes on Saturday at Holly-

wood Park. Ridden by Joel Rosario and running for the first time without blinkers, Twirling Candy was tentative at first and nearly dropped to last, but found his footing in the stretch and took the lead in the final sixteenth to

beat Setsuko by 11⁄4 lengths, covering 1 1-8 miles in 1:50. “He was very relaxed without the blinkers,” Rosario said. “He can do anything. When he sees horses in front of him he just goes and gets them.” The winner paid $2.80, $2.20

and $2.10. Setsuko paid $2.80 and $2.60, while Aggie Engineer paid $3.60 to show. The victory ended an 0-for-24 stakes drought for Sadler, who opened 2011 with a hot streak of several stakes wins at Santa Anita.

Penguins sign forward Nick Johnson to 1-year contract The Times Leader staff

The Pittsburgh Penguins signed forward Nick Johnson to a one-year contract, executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero announced Saturday. Johnson, who was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, opted to re-sign with the Penguins to a two-way deal worth $550,000 at the NHL level that runs through the 2011-12 sea-

son. Johnson, 25, appeared in four games for Pittsburgh this past season, posting three points (1G-2A) before suffering a concussion that sidelined him for the remaining 23 games of the regular season and playoffs. Johnson (6-foot-2, 196 pounds) spent the majority of the year with Pittsburgh’s topminor league affiliate, WilkesBarre/Scranton of the Amer-

ican Hockey League. He posted 20 goals, 39 points, 10 power-play goals and a plus-12 rating in 48 games with WBS. Johnson, Pittsburgh’s thirdround pick (67th overall) in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, has played 10 games with Pittsburgh in his career, notching two goals and five points. He has played three-plus seasons with WBS after turning pro in 2007-08. He has totaled 50 goals, 94 points and a plus-46

rating in 169 career games with WBS, adding 15 postseason points (8G-7A) in 26 contests. The Calgary, Alberta native played four seasons at Dartmouth from 2004-07. He finished his college career with 125 points (57G-68A) in 133 games. Johnson was named First-Team All-ECAC and FirstTeam All-Ivy League as a senior after scoring 35 points (10G-25A) in 32 games.

Coach races to win at Anthracite Run By ROBERT MINER For The Times Leader

WEST PITTSTON – The coach was handing out tips at the 34th annual West Pittston Anthracite 4 Mile Run on Saturday. Chris Wadas, head track and cross country coach at Misericordia University, ran to victory in 20 minutes, 22 seconds. The 29-year-old from Plains Township outran second-place finisher Frankie Redman, 22, of Harding, a recent grad from Wadas’ running team, by 51 seconds. David McLean, 18, of Pittston Township, who will be running for Wadas next season, finished third, 1:33 behind Redman. “I pulled away from (McLean) about a half mile into the race,” said Wadas, who runs for the Keystone Elite Track Club, based in Harrisburg. “I went over the first mile in 4:57, the second mile in 5:03. I was happy with that time. I was shooting for 5:15 over mile three, but finished that in 5:18. But I closed over mile four in 5 miles flat. I was really happy with that. It was a personal best for me in this race. But running alone, with nobody pushing me, and considering the hills in this race -- I’ll take it!” Wadas’ personal best time in a four mile race is 20:09. Wadas said that Redman, who finished second overall, ran a smart race. “He went out in third place,” said Wadas. “He ran his own race.” Redman passed McLean after the first mile to move into second place. Redman competed in the 800meter run for the Cougars in the NCAA Div. III Championships recently in Delaware, Ohio, finishing 13th overall, missing out on All-America honors by less than a second. It was payback time for Deedra Porfirio as she avenged a loss she suffered to Ali Ostrum in April (Wyoming Valley Children’s Association’s Do it for the Kids 5K), winning top honors with a seventh-place overall finish in 24:56. Ostrum finished ninth overall, 25 seconds behind Porfirio. “I went out fast right from the start like I usually do,” said Porfirio, who ran track and cross country for Pittston Area High School. “(Ali) was right behind me for the first two and a half miles. Then I surged a little and pulled ahead. Then I just kept that strong pace to the finish.” Ostrum ran cross country and track for Misericordia University a few years ago. Like Wadas, Ostrum runs for the Keystone Elite Track Club. Note: Wadas’s twin brother, Nick, of Kingston, finished fourth among the men in 23:15. Monica Obsitos, 23, of WilkesBarre, one of the area’s better local triathletes, finished third among the females in 26:18. 34 TH ANNUAL WEST PITTSTON ANTHRACITE 4 MILE 4 MILE RUN RESULTS Top 10 Chris Wadas, 29, Plains Twp., 20:22 Frankie Redman, 22, Harding, 21:13 David McLean, 18, Pittston Twp., 22:46 Nick Wadas, 29, Kingston, 23:15 Jamie Connors, 17, Pittston, 24:12

thanks to Ordonez -- who’s recovering from an ankle injury and is expected to rejoin the parent Tigers this week. Will Rhymes began the game with a sharp single to right field against Yankees starter Adam Warren, who came into the game with a 3-1 record and hadn’t lost in nearly a month. But Ordonez helped change that, slamming a double to center to bring Rhymes home with the game’s first run. Ordonez also singled and scored during Toledo’s two-run ninth inning, and scorched a single to left field in the fifth. But Toledo’s offensive attack was really driven by Ryan Strieby. Before driving in the game’s final three runs on a three-hit night, the fifth-place hitter in Toledo’s lineup banged a double to center field in the fourth inning. Strieby eventually scored when Cale Iorg beat out a bases-loaded dribbler to third base for an infield single. That gave the Mud Hens a 2-0 lead, but it didn’t take long for the Yankees to get even. They briefly solved Below in the bottom of the fourth, as Jorge Vazquez cracked a hard single off the left field wall and Brandon Laird shot a double down the left field line. Kevin Russo drew a

power-play goal just 2:35 after Milan Lucic scored Boston’s first goal of the finals. Recchi, the NHL’s oldest active player at 43, ended the Bruins’ 5-for-68 power-play drought with a deflection from the slot. The Canucks got a pregame boost from the inspirational return of center Manny Malhotra, who hadn’t played since incurring a career-threatening eye injury on March 16. The Canucks also played without top defenseman Dan Hamhuis, who missed his first game of the playoffs after getting hurt midway through Game 1 while delivering a check. Andrew Alberts filled in, playing his first game in four weeks. But until Sedin’s late goal, Boston played a second straight game of impressive shutdown defense against Vancouver’s vaunted top line featuring the NHL’s last two scoring champions — Daniel and twin brother Henrik Sedin. Turns out the Bruins should have been paying attention to Burrows, their less-heralded linemate who has 17 points in the postseason. Burrows scored his first goal while skating on Vancouver’s second-team, power-play unit with just 12 seconds left in the man advantage, taking a short pass from Chris Higgins and flicking a shot under Thomas’ arm. The Bruins had scored just one goal in their previous seven periods of playoff hockey before Lucic finally ended the drought in the second period. The Vancouver native bulled into the slot and batted the rebound of Johnny Boychuk’s shot under Luongo’s extended pad. The goal ended Luongo’s playoff shutout streak at 137 minutes, 26 seconds. Recchi put the Bruins ahead 2:35 later, scoring just their sec-

ond road power-play goal of the entire postseason. The veteran forward from nearby Kamloops, British Columbia, artfully deflected a heavy shot by Chara, who moved back to the point on Boston’s power play after playing in front of Luongo in Game 1. The Bruins had just one goal on the power play in six games before Recchi scored. Recchi, who plans to retire if the Bruins win the Cup, hadn’t scored any goals in their previous 11 playoff games since April 30. The Sedins’ line finally connected midway through the third period after Daniel took the puck away from Chara in Boston’s end. Burrows eventually found Daniel Sedin on the other side of Thomas’ net, and the NHL scoring champion fired home his ninth goal of the postseason. Malhotra seemed unlikely to make an impact on Vancouver’s playoff run when a deflected puck hit him in the face nearly

three months ago. He needed two operations around his left eye, yet the cerebral faceoff specialist and defensive forward surprised the Canucks with his rapid recovery, returning to practice three weeks ago. After a false start before Game 1, Malhotra was ready Saturday. When he stepped on the ice wearing a full face shield for pregame warmups, Vancouver’s fans rose and roared, waving white towels — and when his face appeared on the scoreboard between warmups and the opening faceoff, the crowd chanted his name. When Malhotra stepped onto the ice 1:48 into the first period for a faceoff at center ice, he got an arena-shaking ovation — and he won the draw cleanly. Malhotra played nearly 71⁄2 minutes and won 86 percent of his faceoffs. In Wednesday’s opener, Vancouver won on Raffi Torres’ dramatic goal after 591⁄2 scoreless

minutes. Both teams failed to score on six power plays, but generated numerous chances that were denied by two of the NHL’s best goalies. Vancouver is chasing the first NHL title in its four-decade franchise history after two previous failed trips to the finals. The Bruins haven’t won the Stanley Cup since 1972, losing their last five finals appearances. NOTES: The Canucks haven’t lost at home since May 7. ... Vancouver C Alexandre Bolduc was scratched in Malhotra’s favor. ... Hamhuis is third in ice time among the Canucks during the playoffs, averaging 24:50. He’s second with 38 blocked shots. ... Alberts hadn’t played since May 3, sitting out nine games as a healthy scratch. ... Thomas broke Andy Moog’s franchise record for minutes played in a single postseason.

Controversial call shatters Schiavone By SAMUEL PETREQUIN AP Sports Writer

PARIS — Francesca Schiavone stood over the ball mark, staring down at the white line and red clay in disbelief as her chances to retain her French Open title slowly slipped away. The chair umpire had just ruled that Li Na’s shot touched the line, erasing what Schiavone thought would be her first set point — and only third break point — of the match. From then on, Schiavone didn’t win another point. “That ball was out,” Schiavone said after losing the final 6-4, 7-6 (0) Saturday at Roland Garros. “So what do you do? You’re playing tennis, you have to go back to playing tennis and think about what you need to do. “Obviously, I think it was a big mistake. But it’s up to the tournament and others to watch that match again and evaluate the call.” For the gritty Italian, that was the moment when her hopes of staging a comeback blew away like the dust under her feet. She put a backhand into the net on the next point, allowing Li to even the second set score to 6-6. The Chinese player, the first from her country to win a Grand Slam singles title, then won all seven points in the tiebreaker. But minutes earlier, with Schiavone leading 6-5, 40-40 on Li’s serve, her opponent’s backhand sailed across the court and was called out by the line judge, giving the Italian a crucial break point. Li disagreed, and chair umpire Louise Engzell came to investigate. She and Schiavone stood over the line pointing at the spot for several seconds, arguing where the ball landed. Engzell had the final decision, and called it in. “If the ball is out, I call it out. If the ball is in, it’s in,” Schiavone said. “That’s what they (taught) me when I was young, and that’s what I want to teach to the kids in the future. So if I call the ball out, the (probability) that I make a mistake is

She already was the first woman from that nation of more than1billion people to win a WTA singles title, the first to enter the top 10 in the rankings, and the first to make it to a Grand Slam final — she lost to Kim Clijsters at the Australian Open in January. Thinking back to that defeat, Li said: “I had no experience. I was very nervous. For my second time in a final, I had the experience. I knew how to do it. And I had more self-confidence.” Tennis is considered an elite sport in China, and while participation is rapidly increasing, it still trails basketball, soccer and table tennis, among others. But Li’s victory was big news back home, where the match finished shortly after 11 p.m. local time on a holiday weekend. State broadcaster CCTV posted the banner, “We love you Li Na,” on their gushing coverage, and announcer Tong Kexin pronounced: “This has left a really deep impression on the world.” People at the Green Bank Tennis Club on Beijing’s northern edge gathered to eat barbecued food, drink beer and watch the events from Paris on a big-screen TV set up on a court. Some waved Chinese flags during the postmatch trophy ceremony. Li broke away from the Chinese government’s sports system in late 2008 under an experimental reform policy for tennis players dubbed “Fly Alone.” Li was given the freedom to choose her own coach and schedule and to keep much more of her earnings: Previously, she turned over 65 percent to the authorities; now it’s 12 percent. That comes to about $205,000 of the $1.7 million French Open winner’s check. “We took a lot of risks with this reform. When we let them fly, we

FRENCH OPEN NOTEBOOK really low. So if you explain (to) me that this is the mark and that the ball is out ... I can believe you. But that ball, no.” Because the ball leaves a mark on the clay, the French Open is the only Grand Slam tournament that doesn’t use an electronic challenge system to check contentious calls. That leaves the players to plead their case to the chair umpire and take their chances. “What do I have to say? The truth, or do I have to joke?” Schiavone said. “One call can’t make the difference so much, but in that moment, you have to really check the ball. That’s what I’m contesting.” DOUBLES TROUBLE: Mitchell Krueger and Shane Vinsant, fresh off a loss in the boys doubles final at the French Open, are already thinking ahead. The American teens lost to Roberto Carballes Baena and Andres Artunedo Martinavarr of Spain 5-7, 7-6 (5), 10-5 Saturday at Roland Garros. “It makes us more hungry for another final to win it next time, especially with Wimbledon coming up and then the U.S. Open after that,” Krueger said. “I definitely want to get back to it because I think we have the potential to win it.” In the girls doubles final, second-seeded Irina Khromacheva and Maryna Zanevska of Russia defeated Victoria Kan of Russia and Demi Schuurs of the Netherlands 6-4, 7-5. FUTURE FEDERER: Marko Osmakcic, a 12-year-old from Zurich, Switzerland, beat Artem Dubrivniy of Russia on Saturday to win the Longines Futures Tennis Aces World Championship, an event that included 16 boys aged 12 or younger — one from each of 16 countries. Afterward, Osmakcic and Dubrivniy got to play an exhibition doubles match with past French Open champions Andre Agassi and Jim Courier.

didn’t know if they would succeed. That they have now succeeded, means our reform was correct,” said Sun Jinfang, an official with the Chinese Tennis Association. “This reform will serve as a good example for reforms in other sports.” At her news conference, Li wore a new T-shirt with Chinese characters that mean “sport changes everything,” and offered thanks to Sun. “Without her reform, then possibly we wouldn’t have achieved this success,” Li said. When a reporter mentioned the June 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square and asked whether her victory could spark a sports revolution, Li said she’s “just” a tennis player and added, “I don’t need to answer ... this question.” Her tennis game, filled with flat forehands and backhands, looks better-built for hard courts, rather than the slow, red clay of Paris. Indeed, Li never had won a claycourt tournament until Saturday. She lost in the third round in three of her previous four French Opens, including against Schiavone a year ago. But Li’s movement on clay is better now, Schiavone explained, saying: “She slides a little bit more.” Li repeatedly set up points with her backhand, then closed them with her forehand, and she finished with 21 winners from the baseline, 15 more than Schiavone. Only after Li controlled the first set and the early part of the second did Schiavone begin working her way into the match. “I tried to push more, to risk more,” Schiavone said. She broke to 4-all in the second, and held to lead 6-5. The 12th game was pivotal. Serving at deuce, Li smacked a backhand that landed near a sideline but initially was called out by a line judge, which would have given Schiavone a set point.

Bucs’ Morton salts away Phils The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Charlie Morton pitched seven solid innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates sent the Philadelphia Phillies to their fourth consecutive loss, 6-3 Saturday night. Andrew McCutchen and Lyle Overbay each had three hits and Brandon Wood homered for Pittsburgh (28-29), which has won four of five and could complete a sweep of first-place Philadelphia on Sunday to reach .500. Morton was 2-12 with a 7.57 ERA last season as the Pirates lost 105 games. But he has won four of his past five decisions to improve to 6-2. His ERA stands at 2.52 — fourth in the NL — after allowing a total of six earned runs over his past five starts. Mets 5, Braves 0

NEW YORK — Dillon Gee outpitched Jair Jurrjens to remain unbeaten this season and Jose Reyes hit a basesloaded triple, leading the New York Mets past the Atlanta Braves 5-0 on Saturday night. Pinch-hitter Jason Pridie snapped a scoreless tie with an RBI single in the seventh and the Mets took advantage of an error by shortstop Alex Gonzalez to score five times in the inning. New York’s struggling bullpen finally preserved a lead, too, with Pedro Beato and Tim Byrdak combining for two perfect innings to close it out. Brewers 3, Marlins 2

MIAMI — Prince Fielder homered and Yuniesky Betancourt hit a tiebreaking RBI double in Milwaukee’s two-run seventh inning, helping the Brewers beat the Florida Marlins 3-2 on Saturday night.

Stricker still up by 3 strokes at Memorial Jonathan Byrd cut Stricker’s 6-shot lead in half over the final five holes.

DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

DUBLIN, Ohio — Steve Stricker went from doing everything right to having just about everything go wrong as his lead was cut in half over the final five holes Saturday at the Memorial. The good news for Stricker is that he had a six-shot lead at one point, and his 3-under 69 at Muirfield Village still kept him three shots clear of Jonathan Byrd going into the final round. Stricker holed out for eagle from 113 yards on the second hole, made another eagle with a 3-iron into 6 feet on the par-5 fifth

and looked as though he might run away from the field when he rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-3 eighth. But he missed three putts inside 7 feet — one of them for par — over the final five holes, and his tee shot on the 18th landed in the middle of a sand-filled divot, sending his approach beyond the green in thick rough. Stricker chipped out to 3 feet to escape with par and leave himself some decent vibes going into today. He was at 12-under 204 as he goes for his 10th career victory. Byrd made birdie on the 18th hole for a 69 that will put him in the final group today with a chance to win for the second time this year. Thanks to the late fade by Stricker, several others have a chance that at one time didn’t look possible. Matt Kuchar, who made six

birdies in his opening nine holes, had a 68 despite two bogeys in his last four holes. He was four shots behind, along with Brandt Jobe, who shot a 69. Rory McIlroy couldn’t get the clean round he wanted. The 22year-old from Northern Ireland, making a rare PGA Tour appearance, chopped up the par-3 fourth hole for a double bogey, hit into the water on the par-5 11th for a bogey and was falling back until he rallied with an eagle putt on the 15th. He wound up with a 71 and was five shots behind, along with Mark Wilson (66) and former PGA champion Shaun Micheel (67). Luke Donald, in his debut as the No. 1 player in the world, was trying to make a charge on the back nine until he made two careless bogeys and had to settled for a 73. Donald was at 4-under 212,

was 10 shots behind, which he attributed mainly to his putting. An amazing start gave Stricker strokes to burn toward the end of his round. After an 8-footer to save par from a bunker on the opening hole, Stricker had 113 yards on No. 2. He reached into his pocket for a tee to clean out a chunk of dirt in his 53-degree wedge, set up over the ball and hit a perfect shot that spun into the cup for an eagle. Three holes later, he hit 3iron over the water with just enough draw to catch the ridge and settled 6 feet away for another eagle. AP PHOTO Going back to the second Steve Stricker hits from the sand to the first green during the round, it was his third eagle in third round of the Memorial golf tournament Saturday. seven holes. And he became only the 13th player on the PGA Tour eight shots out of the lead. About straight finish in the top 10. Do- since 1983 to make an eagle on a the only thing Donald can likely nald was tied for 17th. par 3, par 4 and par 5 in the same Phil Mickelson shot a 72 and tournament. achieve today is to go for his 10th

Griffin says OSU will bounce back

PSU lands coach with Wright stuff New Penn State men’s mentor Chambers gets thumbs up from Villanova boss Wright.

Two-time Heisman Trophy winner believes alma mater will return to prominence.

GENARO C. ARMAS AP Sports Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Twotime Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin wants to reassure Ohio State fans that things will get better. “Yep. It has been tough. But Ohio State is more than football,” Griffin said this week after Jim Tressel was forced to resign as head coach in the midst of a widespread NCAA inquiry. “It’s a great university, a lot of great things happening at the university. We will bounce back, no question about it.” Griffin, 56, is president and CEO of Ohio State’s alumni association. Now 36 years removed from becoming the only player to win college football’s most coveted individual award for a second time, he said there is now a drive to rebuild. “Ohio State has a wonderful tradition, a great program,” he said. “It’s been proven out over the years. And we’ll continue to have that type of program. We’ll continue to try and put the best players on the field as well as the coaches. So that’s certainly going to be what the powers that be will look to do.” Tressel was forced to step aside Monday after admitting he knew some of his players had taken improper benefits that would have made them ineligible under

STATE COLLEGE — Former Villanova assistant Patrick Chambers spent a frantic week mulling a major move that could have landed him a job back at a power conference school back in his home state of Pennsylvania. Of course, Chambers called his former boss with the Wildcats, Jay Wright, for advice after Penn State came calling to leave Boston University to take over the Nittany Lions program. Wright gave Chambers his protege a thumbs-up. “I spoke to Jay all week ... I sought his wisdom and his knowledge, discussed the job, what it entailed and needed to be done,” Chambers said Friday night after taking the Penn State job. “He is an incredible mentor.” Now the Nittany Lions have a head coach with roots that run deep into southeastern Pennsylvania in Chambers, a Philadelphiaarea native who played college ball under Philadelphia University coach and 2011 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Herb Magee. It’s at Villanova where Chambers raised his coaching profile, rising quickly to become Wright’s top assistant in 2008 following four years on the staff. Chambers left for the Terriers the following season, lasting two years there before taking the Penn State offer Friday. Chambers replaces Ed DeChellis, who resigned May 24 to accept the same job at Navy. An unexpected coaching search soon followed, with Chambers’ name almost immediately surfacing as a potential candidate following the successful run at Boston. The Terriers lost to Kansas in the second round of the NCAA tournament this spring. “I tell you what, it’s been a crazy week, traveling and meeting,” Chambers said. “A lot of sleepless nights, just trying to keep my time program together.” Wright was a sounding board. Penn State and the Big Ten are a step up from Boston and the America East Conference. But the Nittany Lions have also had middling success, struggling to win consistently and attract top recruits. The program is going through yet another makeover, even after DeChellis led his alma mater to its first NCAA appearance in a decade with a second-round loss to Temple.

Heat ready to forget collapse

Miami players say they just let one get away in Game 2 against Dallas. TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer

DALLAS — After two days of intense film study and painstaking analysis of the final 14 possessions in their end-of-game collapse in Game 2 of the NBA finals, the Miami Heat finally came up with the reason why. It wasn’t a highly technical reason. “We let one go,” Dwyane Wade said. And entering Game 3 of the NBA finals, the Heat will try to let Game 2 go again. The way Miami sees it, carrying over the stigma of that loss — one of the worst late-game collapses in finals history — would only doom them again tonight when the scene shifts to steamy Dallas for the first of three games on the Mavericks’ home floor. Dallas rallied from 15 points down in the final 7 minutes to beat Miami in Game 2, outscoring the Heat 22-5 to finish the game and knot the series. Thanks to that win, Mavs’ fans still may see another NBA championship celebration, only this time, by the Western Conference champions and not a Heat

team that hoisted a trophy at Dallas after the 2006 finals. “In the playoffs, it’s a win or a loss. However it comes by, it’s a win or a loss,” Heat forward LeBron James said. “We’ve moved on from Game 2, seen the mistakes we’ve made. Seen some of the great things we’ve done as well. It’s a win or loss. The series is tied 1-1. We never get too high or too low in the series. We haven’t gotten too high or low in the regular season as well.” Game 3 is crucial for so many obvious reasons, like the Heat wanting not to deal with another stumble and the Mavericks wanting to keep momentum rolling and retain home-court advantage. Statistically, there’s proof that it’s a Texas-sized swing game as well. Since the NBA went to the 2-3-2 format for the finals, teams have now split the first two games 12 times. In the previous 11, the winner of Game 3 has always gone on to win the championship. Big whoop, both teams said in response to that one. “We just can’t let up. We’re not good enough to just relax,” said Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, who led Dallas’ late-game charge in Game 2 at Miami. “We need to play with an edge at all times in every game. So hopefully, with the crowd behind us, we’re going to have a great

NCAA bylaws. He found out in April 2010 about possible violations by his players but did not tell anyone at Ohio State for more than nine months, contrary to his contract and NCAA rules. Five players — including star quarterback Terrelle Pryor — have been suspended for the first five games this fall for taking cash and discounted tattoos from a local tattoo-parlor owner for signed jerseys and gloves, Big Ten championship rings and other memorabilia. The NCAA and Ohio State continue to investigate all areas of the athletic department, including allegations regarding athletes and their cars and football players receiving improper benefits at the tattoo-parlor. The athletic department and football team could receive further penalties when Ohio State goes before the NCAA committee on infractions in Indianapolis on Aug. 12. Another Heisman winner — this one from archrival Michigan — said it’s premature to guess at the Buckeyes’ future. “What’s going to happen to the program? Well, we don’t know if No. 2 (Pryor) is going to line up,” former Michigan star and 1991 Heisman winner Desmond Howard told the Detroit Free Press. “It seems like there’s a lot more that’s happening down there, so I don’t want to right in the middle of things say this is what’s going to happen and then next week we have a new revelation.”

game. Just looking at this one game.” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was more succinct. “I think both teams have bucked a lot of those numbers and odds up to this point already,” he said. “We’re a non-traditional team.” Maybe that’s one of the reasons why the Heat were so loose Saturday. Players arrived at the arena around noon, most with headphones on as they walked off the bus, bobbing heads in time with the music and nodding to people as they walked by. James and Wade were chatting and laughing, a few players checked out the turf that would host an Arena Football League game later Saturday night and some stretched their arms to tap the goalposts as they walked across the floor where a basketball court will be today.

Defending champion Felix finishes 3rd at 400 meters By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer

EUGENE, Ore. — Defending champion Allyson Felix finished third in the Prefontaine Classic 400 meters Saturday and world champion Caster Semenya placed second in the 800 in her American debut. Amantle Montsho of Botswana won the 400 in 50.59 seconds, while Felix crossed in 51.41 to trail fellow American Debbie Dunn by 0.04. Felix is a threetime world champion and a twotime Olympic silver medalist in the 200. Semenya timed 1 minute, 58.88 seconds to finish 0.59 behind Kenia Sinclair of Jamaica. The South African won the event at the 2009 world championships but was unable to complete for much of last year because of controversial gender testing. The Pre, as it is known, is the fourth stop on the international

Diamond League circuit. Jamaican Steve Mullings won the 100 in a meet record 9.80, the third best time on American soil. Justin Gatlin, who last year came off a four-year suspension for doping, finished sixth in 9.97, his first result under 10 seconds since his return. Gatlin denies he knowingly used performance-enhancing substances, claiming a massage therapist, Eugene resident Chris Whetstine, used a testosteronelike cream on his legs in the spring of 2006. Whetstine has denied Gatlin’s allegations. Gatlin, who won the 100 meters at the Pre in both 2005 and 2006, was reinstated last year and has recently been competing in minor meets in Europe. He is still excluded from major European events, and Rajne Soderberg, the director of the Stockholm Diamond League event, said in an e-mail Friday that the ban still holds.

NASCAR

Kurt Busch wins Kansas pole Driver overcomes Friday spinout to grab No. 1 spot in qualifying Saturday. By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Kurt Busch had never run all that well in Kansas, and a spinout during practice Friday certainly didn’t make it look as if he was about to turn that around. Less than 24 hours and a few tweaks later, Busch captured the pole for NASCAR’s Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway and reversed a decade of tough luck at the 1.5-mile track. Busch, who had never started higher than seventh in 10 career starts in Kansas and has never finished in the top five, topped the leaderboard at 174.752 mph

in his No. 22 Dodge on Saturday. Busch snapped out of an extended funk with a fourth-place finish last week in Charlotte. He had to have front end damage repaired following Friday’s spin, and that and other changes helped produce his first pole since Michigan last June and the 13th of his career. “I have to thank my guys for standing behind me, not just through (Friday) but through some of the tough times we’ve been through as of late,” Busch said. “It’s an amazing world, the world of motorsports. One day you’re down, the next day you’re up.” Juan Pablo Montoya will start second in today’s race, followed by Kyle Busch and Brian Vickers. Joey Logano qualified fifth, giving Toyota three cars in the top five.

“A lot better than we expected,” Kyle Busch said. “The guys did a good job with it and gave me a good piece to run a good lap. That’s all we can ask for. We’ve been having sort of a struggle this weekend so far and trying to make something out of nothing here.” Jamie McMurray, who grew up in nearby Joplin, Mo., and visited the tornado-ravaged town Thursday, will start sixth. Sprint Cup points leader Carl Edwards, also a Missouri native, will start seventh — the highest of any of the Fords in the field. “I’m not going to tell you exactly what I did wrong, but I know it was something,” Edwards said. “I think we are going to have a really good shot at this race and that would mean a lot to me.” Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s momen-

tum after a gut-wrenching but promising second-place finish at Charlotte stalled with a qualifying run of 28th. Jimmie Johnson, who beat Edwards to win here in 2008, will start 31st — by far his worst position in Kansas. Today’s race will mark the midway point of the Sprint Cup’s regular season, and three drivers looking to move up in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings are hoping to become Kansas’ first three-time winner. Tony Stewart (13th), Greg Biffle (14th) and Jeff Gordon (22nd) all have a pair of wins here — but none of them will start in the top 10. Gordon, who took Kansas’s first two races in 2001-02, has seven top-five finishes at the track and four in a row. Biffle took first in 2007, won

again last fall in a Chase event and has the best driver rating of any driver at Kansas, ahead of Johnson. Stewart won Kansas in 2006 and 2009. Of course, the way this season has gone almost anyone has a realistic shot at a win. Just five of the 12 winners in the Cup series so far this season have start-

ed from 20th or better. This is the first summer Sprint Cup race on the schedule for Kansas, which added an event for 2011. Drivers expect the track to be hot and slick for today’s race, which will start at noon local time. The track will host its traditional fall race on October 9.

Sponsors are not running for cover League and players say they haven’t lost many sponsors yet.

By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK— While fans fret about the NFL lockout affecting everything from training camps to regular-season games, marketing partners for the league and the players association aren’t panicking. Or fleeing. They are making contingency plans, of course, because the time when sponsors and advertisers must make decisions on how loyal they can be to pro football is rapidly approaching. “We’re not at an Armageddon date. We not staring that in the face this week,” Eric Grubman, NFL executive vice president of business operations for the NFL, told The Associated Press during the owners’ meetings last week. “The demand is good, I think strong. The platform of being with the NFL remains very valuable and healthy. “We have had losses (of potential new sponsors) that won’t return immediately. With some of those, people have said they are not signing with us because of the labor situation. Those dollars have moved on forever, but those partners have not, I think. I think when we get back to (playing) games, I like our chances to get them back. “We’re scratching and clawing to show them this, the value is still going to be there.” On the other side, NFL Players, the marketing arm for the players association, says it has not lost any marketing partners. Keith Gordon, the organization’s president, believes the worth of its players to advertisers and sponsors could actually grow should the lockout continue into the fall. “While sponsors are hoping that football resumes in the fall, they’re also positioning themselves to maximize player involvement without

Disease doesn’t sicken wildlife

All pets susceptible TOM VENESKY OUTDOORS

An especially quiet spring turkey season

By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

As the wildlife veterinarian for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, Dr. Walt Cottrell has seen his share of ticks. He’s seen them on bear, deer and virtually every mammal that roams Pennsylvania’s woods. So does that mean the deer and bear living in tick-infested woods are also suffering from the same lyme disease that impacts pets and people? Not really, Cottrell said. “I’ve seen bears just covered with ticks in the spring. Their skin will be red and encrusted, but they don’t get sick with the disease,” he said. “It appears only domestic animals and people suffer, and we don’t exactly know why a deer or bear doesn’t get infected.” Even the deer mouse – which Cottrell said is the primary carrier of the bacteria that causes lyme disease, may only have a temporary fever and immune response when it’s infected. Still, wildlife play a key role in the spread of lyme disease to people and pets. According to Cottrell, ticks aren’t born with the lyme disease infection. When a larval tick hatches, if it feeds on a deer mouse carrying the bacteria then that tick is infected for life. When the infected larvae emerges the next year as a nymph, it can transmit the bacteria when it feeds on other hosts, such as deer. “The more hosts, such as deer, that there are, then the more blood meal there is for ticks. That can lead to an increase in tick reproduction,” Cottrell said. Other carriers of the lyme bacteria include chipmunks and rabbits to a lesser degree, Cottrell said. While infected ticks do feed on deer, bear and other game species, hunters shouldn’t worry about eating that meat because cooking it will kill the bacteria. Lyme disease isn’t the only health risk that ticks pose to people. Cottrell said ticks can also transmit anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis (both of which can cause fever, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches). “These are bad actors yet very treatable,” Cottrell said. “Since sportsmen are at risk of being bitten by an infected tick, it’s important that they mention there was an exposure when they see their doctor.”

Dr Doug Ayers examines a dog for ticks by checking the eyes at the Plains Animal Hospital recently.

Inspect after each trip afield By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

A dog whose owner lived in Plains was recently brought to Ayers and subsequent tests showed it had Rocky Mountain spotted fever and lyme disease – both are carried by ticks. “This dog was exposed to a tick with both diseases, and it was in Plains. It’s certainly spread from the mountains to the cities,” Ayers said, adding the increase in ticks and lyme disease has been gradually increasing over the last 12 years. “I’ve been practicing for 21 years and it wasn’t like this then,” he said. While all pets are susceptible to ticks, Ayers said hunting dogs are more vul-

There are two times during the year that Dr. Doug Ayers of the Plains Animal Hospital said ticks are the worst. In the fall and right now. “We see ticks every other day,” Ayers said. “When the ground temperature reaches 50 degrees and the sun hits it, they start moving around. “Ticks are getting worse and they’re really spreading.” Years ago, Ayers said, ticks and the threat of lyme disease was limited to rural mountainous areas. But now, the range has spread and ticks can now be found in urban areas. Ayers sees it all the time at his practice. See PETS, Page 13C

REMOVING A TICK USE FINE-TIPPED TWEEZERS and protect your fingers with a tissue, paper towel, or latex gloves. Avoid removing ticks with your bare hands. GRASP THE TICK as close to the skin surface as possible and pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don’t twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal. AFTER REMOVING the tick, thoroughly disinfect the bite and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water. AVOID FOLKLORE REMEDIES such as "painting" the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin. Your goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible -- not waiting for it to detach.

People can be infected after 24 hours By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

Timing is everything when it comes to a tick bite. And your chances of getting one are greatest right now. According to Dr. Steven Ostroff, acting physician general for the Pennsylvania Department of Health, May and June are the peak season when it comes to tick activity. Now is when ticks in the nymph stage have emerged from hibernation and are prowling the woods actively looking for a blood meal. That voracious feeding behavior decreases over the summer, Ostroff said, and now is the time to be vigilant for ticks after spending time in the outdoors. And if you do find one stuck to your skin, you basically have 24 hours to get it

off before it can infect you with lyme disease. Once a tick attaches to the skin, it begins feeding until it is engorged. Then, Ostroff said, it begins regurgitating into the host, and that’s when the lyme bacteria can enter a person. “If you see a tick on you, get rid of it very quickly and the likelihood of transmitting lyme disease is very low,” Ostroff said. “If the tick is engorged, it means it’s been on you for some time.” Several species of ticks exist in Pennsylvania, but the major culprit for lyme disease is Ixodes scapularis, or the deer tick. States such as Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island and New York have higher rates of lyme disease than Pennsylvania, Ostroff See PEOPLE, Page 13C

S U G G E S T I O N S T O A V E R T LY M E D I S E A S E Lyme disease prevention tips from the state Department of Health: ANYONE BITTEN by a tick should watch the area where the tick was attached for the next month or so. If a rash develops at the site from which the tick was removed, or if a rash develops elsewhere on the body at any time, consult a physician. Lyme disease is nearly always cured by a 10-day to two-week course of oral antibiotics when appropriately treated at this stage (when the rash appears). THE RISK of being bitten by an infected tick can be decreased by using the following precautions: (1) Use insect repellent containing low concentrations (10 to 30 percent) of diethyltoluamide (DEET) on clothing and exposed skin (not face): (a) Apply DEET sparingly on exposed skin; do not use under clothing. (b) Do not use DEET on the

hands of young children; avoid applying to areas around the eyes and mouth. (c) Do not use DEET over cuts, wounds or irritated skin. Wash treated skin with soap and water after returning indoors; wash treated clothing. (d) Avoid spraying in enclosed areas; do not use DEET near food. (2) Avoid tick-infested areas; (3) Wear light-colored clothing so ticks can be spotted more easily; (4) Tuck pant legs into socks or boots, and shirts into pants; (5) Tape the areas where pants and socks meet; (6) Wear a hat, long-sleeved shirt, and long pants for added protection; (7) Walk in the center of trails to avoid overhanging brush; (8) Check yourself, family members and pets for ticks after leaving potentially tickinfested areas and promptly remove any ticks detected.

OUTDOORS NOTES The Factoryville Sportsman’s Club will hold a benefit sporting clay shoot on Saturday. The shoot will benefit the club’s youth shooting team. Cost will be $15 for 50 birds and $30 for 100 birds. The shoot will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Kitchen will be open all day. For directions due to a detour, check out our web site at www.fscweb.org. Eye and ear protection required. The Central Susquehanna Woodland Owners Association will sponsor a program on woodland management on June 12 at 1:30 p.m. at the Park Family Farm and Forest in the Benton area. The Parks have a diverse wood lot with many of the issues facing central Pennsylvania woodland owners. They have built a 10-acre deer exclosure fence and smaller fences with oak seedlings, allowing participants to see first-hand how much deer really impact the forest. Attendees will also see how old pine

plantations have been managed and the results of new hardwood plantings in some of the fields. The site also has mature forests with looming questions: what can be done with the hemlock trees being attacked by woolly adelgid and with the ash trees given the impending impact of the emerald ash borer? The public is invited to come and learn about what the Parks have done, so that participants can better manage their own wood lots. This free program will be held at the Park Family Farm and Forest, 2098 County Line Road, Benton, Columbia County. For further information and directions, contact Henry Williams at 458-0157 or e-mail CSWOA1@gmail.com.

Returning PALS customers are encouraged to provide their Customer Identification Number (CID) to speed up processing.

thought something was amiss this spring when I didn’t hear a single gobbler in the weeks leading up to the spring season. Every year as April rolled into May, gobbling was as common a sound as the calls of songbirds as they welcomed the spring. But not this year. Even when the spring gobbler season began, the turkeys were quiet. And it wasn’t just me who wasn’t hearing turkeys gobble. Tony Hudak is a die-hard turkey hunter and he spends tons of hours in the woods from February up to the spring season locating gobblers. He locates them by listening for them, and this year he didn’t hear much. Hudak said he typically locates around 100 gobblers throughout the region each year before the start of the season. This year he only heard 30. It made for a difficult spring hunting season. “This spring was one of the toughest, if not the toughest that I have ever experienced,” Hudak said. “The lack of gobbling on most days made for some long mornings, and there was little a guy could do to provoke a bird.” Pennsylvania wasn’t the only state that had silent gobblers. Rain may have caused real troubles Hudak, who hunts turkeys all over the country, said the gobblers were also silent in Alabama, North Carolina and Delaware. A guide he knows in Vermont actually cancelled spring gobbler hunts because the birds simply weren’t talking. Did the hard winter or the late start to spring have anything to do with the gobblers remaining silent? Or is it just part of turkey hunting? Some hunters have said they hear less gobbling each year. I’ve noticed that after the first week or two the gobbling decreases substantially. While less gobbling made things tough on hunters this season, there was another aspect to the spring that was tough on turkeys in general. Rain. We got a ton of it, consistently. Rain is one of the worst things for turkey poults after they hatch. Dr. Walt Cottrell, the wildlife veterinarian for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, said wet weather and cool temperatures are a fatal combination for many species of young wildlife, especially turkey poults. “If it’s cool, then the insects aren’t there, they can’t eat enough and go into a negative energy balance,” Cottrell said. “And if it’s wet, they simply get hypothermia and die.” Turkey hens start to nest during mid to late April and it takes about 28 days for the eggs to hatch. One reason why turkey poults are so susceptible to rain is they don’t have the protection of fully developed feathers that can shed water. And water is one thing we’ve had plenty of this spring. According to the National Weather Service, we’ve had more than 16 inches of rain since March 1 – almost seven inches more than normal. Almost half of that 16 inches of rain fell in May, most of the time day after day. Everything in the woods was drenched, including any turkey poults that hatched a bit early. Still, the recent warmup certainly helped, but the verdict is still out if it came in time to avoid any type of significant impact to turkey poults. “I don’t know. It’s tough to measure because after a turkey poult dies it disintegrates fast,” Cottrell said. Just like finding a reason why gobblers seem to gobble less some years, gauging turkey poult mortality is a difficult puzzle to solve.

John Henry Johnson dead at 81 Pro Football Hall of Famer was part of San Francisco’s “Million Dollar Backfield.”

selves, ‘I may come from a small town and a small high school, but I can play in the big leagues.”’ Johnson’s most productive seasons came with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the ’60s, when he twice rushed for more than 1,000 yards. He also was a member of the Detroit Lions’ titlewinning team in 1957. However, it was during his three seasons with the 49ers for which Johnson is best remembered. He teamed with running backs Joe “The Jet” Perry and Hugh McElhenny and quarterback Y.A. Tittle from 1954-56 to comprise what many regard as the best backfield in history. “John Henry Johnson helped create the legacy of professional athletes coming out of Pittsburg,” Glover said in a news release. “Ever since John Henry graduated from Pittsburg High in (1949), a remarkable string of professional athletes have come out of this relatively small community.” McElhenny and Tittle did not return phone calls seeking comment. Perry died at 84 on April 25. The 49ers weren’t aware of

Johnson’s passing until Friday evening and did not issue a statement. Current Pittsburg varsity football coach Victor Galli said Johnson’s size and toughness made him a player for the ages. “You watch film of him, and he’s amazing,” Galli said. “He would be successful in today’s NFL because he was such a tough, hard-nosed football player.” Johnson’s No. 35 is retired at Pittsburg High, and his framed jersey hangs in the weight room. Johnson’s football career took root in the Bay Area. He played collegiately at Saint Mary’s and Arizona State before he was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 1953 NFL draft—No. 18 overall. Johnson, 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, elected to play in Canada in 1953, but he joined the 49ers after one season in the Canadian Football League and became an instant hit when he rushed for 681 yards, second in the league, and nine touchdowns his rookie season. He was selected to four Pro Bowls during a career that yielded 6,803 yards rushing and 48 touchdowns.

Running back John Henry Johnson, a member of the San Francisco 49ers’ famed “Million Dollar Backfield” in the mid-1950s, died in Tracy, Calif., on Friday at the age of 81, according to several relatives and close friends. Family members said Johnson’s health had been in decline the past five years. Johnson’s pro playing career spanned 14 seasons, including 13 in the NFL and now-defunct American Football League, and culminated with his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He prepped at Pittsburg (Calif.) High School. “For kids in this town, and for me, he was more than a role model; a hero, you might say,” said Federal Glover, who played football for Pittsburg High and now is a District V Supervisor. “He paved the way and inspired dozens of others to say to them-

After the sunny skies of Memorial Day weekend a few days ago, we've got some big shoes. This weekend clearly won't be a repeat performance...after showers moved through yesterday afternoon. Expect periods of sun midday today, but more showers and maybe even a thunderstorm will develop this afternoon in response to a trough of low pressure stalling out over the eastern half of the Commonwealth. Temperatures will make it into the upper 70s, but the real warm weather arrives later in the week. Highs will climb to near 90 by Thursday as a brief ridge of high pressure builds over the northeast. It will be short-lived, with more spring-like weather returning by next weekend. -Ryan Coyle

A few tips on finances for new grads

Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, restores thousands of products it slashed in an overzealous bid to clean up its stores, it’s going back to its roots like catering to enthusiasts of hunting and fishing, while experimenting in new areas.

Wal-Mart regains footing By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK — Wal-Mart is in a race against time to give the people what they want before they get comfortable shopping elsewhere. Shoppers who switched to other stores when Wal-Mart decided to ditch best-selling toothbrush brands, craft supplies and bolts of fabric may be hard to win back. The company has taken nine months to restore thousands of grocery items, including some bestselling brands, it dumped from its shelves two years ago. The idea was to tidy up stores for the wealthier customers it had won during the recession. Grocery sales have improved, rising in the low single digits in the first quarter. But overall traffic at its U.S. namesake stores has been down and revenue at stores open at least a year has posted eight straight quarters of declines on a year-over-year basis. Wal-Mart says it will take until the end of the year to restock the rest of the store with items that were culled, from craft supplies to home furnishings. That will go a long way toward restoring WalMart’s ability to provide one-stop shopping, which could be a plus as shoppers make fewer trips to save on gasoline. “The customer, for the most part, is still in the store shopping, but they started doing some more shopping elsewhere, and we want to bring them back. We know that it’s easy to lose them.” said Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s chief financial officer Charles Holley during a Citi Global Consumer Conference last week. Dollar stores, which benefited from shoppers trying to stretch their dollars in the recession, are continuing to gain new customers and post higher revenue. The trend has accelerated as gasoline prices closed in on $4 a gallon. Dollar stores more adroitly

THE BACKUP PLAN

Education grads and students hope for jobs, but are mapping out avenues By BONNIE ADAMS

Times Leader Correspondent

ecent Misericordia University graduate Alysia Ardo won’t let proposed state funding cuts or possible layoffs dash her lifelong hope of being a teacher, but she does have a backup plan. • Her “Plan B” as she calls it involves working as a substitute teacher or a therapeutic staff support worker if her applications to area school districts fail to land her a teaching job. “I will take anything I can get,” Ardo said. The Misericordia University graduate said she hopes the state’s proposed budget that would cut $400 million from public school education doesn’t pass. Republican Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposed budget for 2011-12 would mean a loss of $22 million for Luzerne County public schools while Lackawanna County schools would see $14.5 million in cuts. The 21-year-old said her dream to become a teacher has been a life-long one. “I used to play teacher with my stuffed animals all the time.” There was no doubt she wanted to teach after graduating from the former Seton Catholic High School. “The right opportunity will come along at the right time,” she said. The Pittston woman is applying for jobs throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania but said some of her former Misericordia classmates are looking out-of-state. Ardo said she’s not willing to relocate to find a teaching job. “I’m a family person. I need my family.” Wilkes University Class of 2011 mem-

ber Jason Homza earned a bachelor’s degree in earth and environmental science and a minor in secondary education. He said other education majors he knows haven’t been swayed from their decision to become public school teachers. “They are, however, realizing that finding a teaching position will require them to leave the area or even the state, or become further educated and certified in multiple content areas and specialties in order to remain as competitive as possible.” Homza, 26, is a Wyoming Valley West graduate and a Marine Corps combat veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He served as president of Wilkes University’s Kappa Delta Pi national education honor society. “I have recently started my job search by keeping close track of school district websites and newspapers for job postings,” he said. He prefers to hand deliver his application to districts, he noted. “I started my searches at school districts in the area, and am working my way out,” he said. Homza, of Kingston,

said he is also keeping his eyes open and applying for positions such as teaching summer school to add valuable experience to his resume. “Teacher layoffs throughout the state have certainly raised some concerns and created some uncertainty among education majors regarding their future and chances for employment,” he said. Homza said those who choose the teaching profession do so because they have the talent, passion and knowledge essential to succeed. “These young educators are dedicated and persistent, and will remain so even through uncertain times,” Homza See EDUCATION, Page 3D

That world, as “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart told William & Mary graduates in 2004, is a little different than life on campus. “The biggest difference,” Stewart told them, “is you will now be paying for things.” Indeed, finances will play a big role in your life from now on. Two-thirds of you leaving school with a bachelor’s degree will be shouldering student loans. And you’ll have to start repaying them before you know it. One of your life’s biggest financial goals — though you may not believe this now — must be saving for retirement. By the time you retire, there will be even fewer pensions than today, and Social Security benefits will be stingier than what your grandparents now enjoy. But the financial outlook is by no means bleak. The job market for new graduates remains challenging, but it’s the best since the 2008 financial crisis. And you have something priceless that your parents and grandparents don’t have — time. Start saving now, even small amounts, and it will pay big dividends down the road because your investments will have more years to grow. Even if you invest as little as $200 a month in a Roth IRA and earn an 8 percent annual return, you’ll be a millionaire by the time you reach your full retirement age of 67. Here are some suggestions to get you on a sound financial path: STUDENT LOANS: Graduates who borrowed for college are carrying an average of $27,200 in student loan debt, calculates Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of financial aid sites FinAid.org and Fastweb.com. Most of these loans are from the federal government, and you generally have to start repaying them six months after graduation. Uncle Sam offers a variety of repayment options to help struggling borrowers. If federal loans eat up most of your paycheck, for instance, you may be eligible for an income-based repayment plan. Payments won’t exceed 15 percent of discretionary income. And if your earnings are really paltry, you might not have to pay anything at all. Any debt remaining after 25 years is erased — or after 10 years, if you have been in public service for a decade. If you can’t find a job, you may be able to defer payments on federal loans for up to three years. Or you may qualify for a forbearance, in which payments are suspended or temporarily reduced. Explore your options at studentaid.ed.gov. You also might consider volunteering with AmeriCorps if you can’t find other work, Kantrowitz said. The program offers education awards worth up to $5,550 a year that can be applied to reducing federal student loan debt, he says. Even if you volunteer only for the summer, the award is pro-rated. Whatever you do, don’t default. The penalties are harsh. And the government can garnish wages, tax refunds and even Social Security benefits in retirement to collect its due. HEALTH INSURANCE: If you’re fortunate, you will land a job that provides health care insurance. If not, you can remain on your parents’ workplace plan until you turn 26, thanks to health care reform. Workers sometimes pay extra to cover dependents. This means that your parents might have to shell out more to keep you on their plan. Not all parents are generous, though. A recent survey sponsored by online broker eHealthInsurance found that four out of 10 parents said they would keep an adult child on a health plan only if it didn’t cost them anything. Tough love. Another option is to buy an individual policy. Young adults are usually See FINANCE, Page 4D

Big student debt could limit schools’ aid access By TALI ARBEL AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — The government is moving forward with its crackdown on the country’s forprofit schools, aiming to protect students from taking on too much debt to attend schools that do nothing for their job prospects. But student advocates protest that the final version of the Department of Education’s “gainful employment” rule, released Thursday, is way too soft. Meanwhile, schools and industry lobbyists rail that the DOE has no legal standing to even impose

the rule at all. Only investors appeared happy with the outcome the day the rule were released. Shares of forprofit school companies soared as investors viewed the scope of the DOE’s new regulations as having a much less dire impact on the sector than they had feared. Analysts say the rule is more lenient than they and most shareholders had expected — “meaningfully watered down,” said R.W. Baird’s Amy Junker. Corinthian Colleges Inc., one of the schools considered most at risk of having to shut down programs or make a significant

overhaul to its business to comply with the rule, jumped nearly 27 percent. Shares of the nation’s largest chain, Apollo Group Inc., which owns the University of Phoenix, rose 11 percent. DeVry gained nearly 15 percent. Most students at career colleges and vocational schools pay tuition with federal financial aid dollars. But that leaves taxpayers on the hook if students can’t find good jobs and default on their loans. And they are defaulting in large numbers.

Combined Preliminary Notice of Potential Impact on Important Resources, and Notice of the Availability of an Environmental Assessment Lower Lackawanna Valley Sewer Authority Luzerne County The USDA, Rural Development has received an application for financial assistance from the Lower Lackawanna Valley Sewer Authority, Luzerne County. As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rural Development has prepared an Environmental Assessment that evaluated the potential environmental effects and consequences of the proposed request. This notice announces the availability of this Environmental Assessment for public review and comments. The proposal consists of modifications to the Authority’s existing wastewater treatment facility to provide for biological and chemical nutrient removal consisting of the following: conversion of the four existing contact/stabilization tanks to the IFAS process, addition of two new IFAS processing tanks, addition of two new settling tanks, new aeration system, addition of a gravity belt sludge thickener, addition of a second belt filter press, a lime food system for sludge stabilization, an alum feed system, and electrical and HVAC upgrades. If implemented, the proposed projects may affect floodplains. The alternatives considered include: a “No Action” approach; however, this approach will not meet the DEP mandate for Chesapeake Bay discharge requirements. Another approach would be to purchase Nutrient Credits but this approach will be expensive now and it is unknown as to what future costs will be. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of this proposed conversion and request comments concerning the proposal, alternative sites, or action that would avoid these impacts, and methods that could be used to minimize these impacts. The applicant will comply with the following mitigation measures: 1) No fill will be placed in floodplains and wetlands. The additions to the Sewage Treatment Plant will be flood protected. 2) Should the scope of the project be amended to include additional ground disturbing activity, the State Historic Preservation Office and Rural Development will be contacted immediately. 3) The construction contractors will be required to comply with standard protective measures required by the Bureau of Forestry (DCNR) which will be included in the construction documents.

Labor force shrinks Japan wants businessmen to shed suits, save energy as job seekers give up By TOMOKO A. HOSAKA Associated Press

By PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — Where did all the workers go? The labor force — those who have a job or are looking for one — is getting smaller, even though the economy is growing and steadily adding jobs. That trend defies the rules of a normal economic recovery. Nobody is sure why it’s happening. Economists think some of the missing workers have retired, have entered college or are getting by on government disability checks. Others have probably just given up looking for work. “A small work force means millions of discouraged workers, lower output in the future and a weak recovery,” says Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, the ranking Republican on the Congress’ Joint Economic Committee. “Those are unhealthy signs.” By the government’s definition, if you quit looking, you’re no longer counted as unemployed. And you’re no longer part of the labor force. Since November, the number of Americans counted as employed has grown by 765,000, to just shy of 139 million. The nation has been creating jobs every month as the economy recovers. The economy added 244,000 jobs in April. But the number of Americans counted as unemployed has shrunk by much more — almost

1.3 million — during this time. That means the labor force has dropped by 529,000 workers. The percentage of adults in the labor force is a figure that economists call the participation rate. It is 64.2 percent, the smallest since 1984. And that’s become a mystery to economists. Normally after a recession, an improving economy lures job seekers back into the labor market. This time, many are staying on the sidelines. Their decision not to seek work means the drop in unemployment from 9.8 percent in November to 9 percent in April isn’t as good as it looks. If the 529,000 missing workers had been out scavenging for a job without success, the unemployment rate would have been 9.3 percent in April, not the reported rate of 9 percent. And if the participation rate were as high as it was when the recession began, 66 percent, in December 2007, the unemployment rate could have been as high as 11.5 percent. A majority of the 42 economists in the latest Associated Press quarterly economic survey said they expect the labor force participation rate to start growing consistently before the year ends. Twelve don’t expect it to happen until next year at the earliest. Five think it never will. The labor force grew by just 15,000 in April from March — not even enough to keep up with population growth. realize that they will likely need to serve as substitute teachers for a couple years before being hired by a district, during which time they are seeking additional certifications in higher needed areas like English-as-a-second language or returning to graduate school.” Reboli said it’s difficult to determine now what job prospects will be for recent education graduates because many school districts haven’t made final decisions on whether or not they will hire new faculty members for the upcom-

TOKYO — The Japanese government wants the country’s suitloving salarymen to be bold this summer. Ditch the stuffy jacket and tie. And for the good of a country facing a power crunch, go light and casual. Japan’s “Super Cool Biz” campaign kicked off Wednesday with a government-sponsored fashion show featuring outfits appropriate for the office yet cool enough to endure the sweltering heat. This summer may be especially brutal. The loss of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, which was crippled by the March 11tsunami, means electricity could be in short supply around the nation’s capital, Tokyo, during especially hot days. To prevent blackouts, the government is asking companies and government offices to cut electricity usage by 15 percent. It wants

cal programs and culinary schools represent just 12 percent of all higher education students but 46 percent of all student loan dollars in default. The average student earning an associate degree at a for-profit school carries $14,000 in federal loan debt versus the $0 debt burden of most community college students. So the DOE has set criteria that for-profit schools must meet in order to maintain access to ing academic year. Looking out-of-state might not be the answer for some. A recent Associated Press story explained that states around the country are decreasing education spending to close budget gaps while school districts are running out of federal stimulus money that prevented widespread job losses the past two years. Wilkes University’s Robert Gardner, an assistant professor of education, tells students that although it’s a difficult economic

only

Cool Biz had been implemented in their workplaces. The figure stood at 47 percent two years earlier and at less than a third in 2005. So what’s different with Super Cool Biz? First, the dress code. Polo shirts, Aloha shirts and sneakers are acceptable now under the environment ministry’s relaxed guidelines. Jeans and sandals are OK too under certain circumstances. Men might even think of carrying a fan or trying a pair of tight pedal pushers like one model wore, though whether such fashion extremes would actually catch on is another matter. Notably missing from the environment ministry’s dress code are specific rules for women. Despite the omission, Wednesday’s fashion show included ensembles for women as well. Khakis, white pants and airy polyester dresses are all apparently acceptable.

federal financial aid dollars, which can represent up to 90 percent of a school’s revenue. If graduates owe too much relative to their income, or too few former students are paying back their tuition loans on time, schools stand to lose access to Pell grants and federal student aid. Such a loss would seriously crimp schools’ ability to attract students and make money. Under final terms of the law, schools will only be able to receive federal-paid tuition if at least 35 percent of its former students are repaying their loans. The agency drew up the gain-

ful employment rule in 2010, but delayed putting it into effect as it faced heavy lobbying from schools and politicians. For the past 18 months, the DOE has been negotiating the scope of gainful employment with industry representatives and advocates. Last summer, the DOE released a draft of the regulation and the tough proposed stance spurred a sell-off in education shares. Companies fought hard against it. The DOE received more than 90,000 comments about the rule. Corinthian alone has spent more than $1 million since the beginning of last year

on lobbying. The lobbying appears to have worked. Under the rule’s original terms, programs that failed to meet the criteria would have lost federal loan eligibility immediately and enrollment would have been frozen at any school in danger of failing. But the finalized rule gives schools multiple chances over a four-year period to improve their stats. That means no school will be in danger of losing funding for a program until 2015, rather than next year. After “three strikes,” a school will lose eligibility for three years.

where you don’t know what the future holds,” he said. Banya said one of his concerns is the morale of those teachers who supervise student teachers and how that morale might affect both education majors and children in the classroom. He said some education graduates are considering relocating to find work. “They feel they should cast their net wider by moving out of state,” he said. He said that he and his col-

leagues tell education majors that within five years there will be 1.5 million teachers retiring nationwide and that students should “stay the course.” Banya said that means they might have to move out of this area to gain experience before returning and finding a teaching job. Banya said education majors seem hopeful that the prospect for finding work will improve. “We all have to live on hope. We’re trying to keep their spirits up,” he said.

time, education will always be an institution that people want and need. “The proposed teacher layoffs have raised concern among our education students; however, they are not discouraged,” Gardner said. Misericordia’s Kingsley Banya, chairman of the Dallas Township school’s teacher education department, said he saw the impact of budget cuts to education during his 20 years in Florida. “No professional wants to walk

companies to limit air conditioning and set room temperatures at a warm 28 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit). The idea isn’t new. “Cool Biz” was introduced in 2005 by the environment minister at the time, Yuriko Koike. The campaign was part of efforts to fight global warming. But with Japan dealing with an ongoing nuclear crisis and the aftermath of a magnitude-9.0 earthquake and tsunami, officials decided they needed to take Cool Biz one step further this year. “When we started Cool Biz in 2005, people said it was undignified and sloppy,” Koike said at the fashion show held at a Tokyo department store. “But this is now the sixth year, and people have grown accustomed to it.” Surveys by the Cabinet Office indicate that companies are gradually jumping on board.

AAA adds insurance Co-worker’s side business must be reported app for iPhone, iPad OFFICE COACH

By Times Leader Staff

Automobile club AAA recently launched the latest addition to its suite of free mobile applications with the release of the AAA Insurance app for iPhone and iPad. The AAA Insurance app walks drivers through the post-traffic crash process of collecting information, photos and even requesting a tow truck. “Being involved in a traffic crash can be traumatic, even if all the parties involved are uninjured. There are a lot of things to do and information to collect following a collision that can seem overwhelming when combined with the stress of a car crash,” said Jim Lardear, director of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic, which serves the Wilkes-Barre region. “The AAA Insurance app provides step-by-step instructions on what information you should gather, including photos, in addition to requesting a tow truck for you.” The AAA Insurance app provides AAA’s recommended steps on what to do immediately after a traffic collision and helps you gather important information about the crash needed to submit an insurance claim, such as: · Taking photos of the crash

Q: I have a co-worker who is running a Web-based business on company time. “Linn” spends hours monitoring her website, taking orders, sending invoices and arranging for shipments. At the end of the day, she prints out her documents and takes them home. Linn gives more time to her business than to her job, but our boss appears to be completely unaware of these activities. He occasionally asks other employees to help Linn out because she’s so busy. However, she’s just busy making money for herself. Linn’s behavior is just plain wrong, and she should not be allowed to get away with it. Is there anything I can do? A: Bluntly put, Linn is a thief. By accepting a paycheck, then using work time for her own personal gain, she is effectively stealing from the company. Advising management of this trans-

gression is no different than reporting someone who pockets money from a cash register. If you work in a large business, you can ask the human resources manager or corporate attorney to investigate while keeping your name confidential. However, if you’re in a small company, going directly to management may be your only option. In that case, have a concerned colleague accompany you to verify your story. When you describe the situation, remain calm and focus on the facts. For example: “I thought you should know that Linn has been running a personal business on company time. She spends several hours a day selling products through her website. Other employees are becoming resentful because she’s falling behind in her work. We would appreciate your investigating this.” Once you inform the powers-

that-be, you will have done all that you can do. If your management is at all competent, Linn will soon be operating her business at home.

Q: One of my employees constantly criticizes her colleagues for making “immoral” life choices. Her judgmental remarks are creating a very uncomfortable atmosphere on our team. As a business owner, I feel I have a responsibility to keep people from being harassed this way. What should I do? A: For starters, you should tell this self-righteous woman that she must immediately stop lecturing co-workers about their personal lives. Explain that this rule applies to all team members, including anyone who might criticize her own life choices. To ensure that everyone understands your expectations, discuss the issue in a team meet-

You’ll pay income taxes on the nest egg when you make withdrawals in retirement. Or, if your employer doesn’t offer a plan, open a Roth IRA. You contribute money that’s already been taxed. But the big Roth benefit is that any investment growth won’t be taxed in retirement. To maintain your lifestyle in retirement, new grads should set aside 13 percent of gross pay each year, which includes any employer contribution, Ritter said.

The company said at the end of May it continues to see more customers who are spending more per visit. Dollar stores pose the biggest threat to Wal-Mart, the nation’s biggest retailer.

shopping habits are imprinted. But the restocking has taken longer than Wal-Mart predicted. In November, it had said that the merchandise it cut would be restored by this past

spring. Even when Wal-Mart has been able to get goods to the stores, the company known for its efficiency and precision has had trouble getting them onto

ing without mentioning this particular employee. The others may assume that her behavior triggered your remarks, but that’s OK as long as you don’t single her out. For example: “As team members, we need to recognize and respect the boundary between our work and our personal lives. Making critical comments about a colleague’s lifestyle is disruptive to the team and totally unacceptable. If anyone ever treats you this way, please let me know.” A stern admonition may resolve the problem. But if your sanctimonious employee stubbornly refuses to curb her offensive behavior, the only solution is to remove her from the team.

shelves, says Cameron Smith, who recruits executives for Wal-Mart suppliers and also serves as an adviser. Suppliers using third parties to backstop the placement of their goods on the shelves, he said. That adds to their costs. Palettes of merchandise are crowding aisles, Sozzi notes. Shares of Wal-Mart have tracked closer to its profits than its domestic sales this past year, and its international business has propped up revenue and profits. Wal-Mart shares are up 7 over the past 12 months. But they peaked in late January and have lost 5 percent since the company said it would not predict when U.S. revenue at stores open at least a year will begin growing, after setting a target date for last holiday season and missing it. The namesake Walmart stores account for 62 percent of the company’s revenue; international makes up 26 percent.

MarketPulse PEEKING UP Natural gas prices are near their high for the year again, climbing 6 percent through Friday. Hot weather across much of the country has helped: More air conditioners whirring mean more demand for electricity, which means more demand for gas from power plants. But don’t get carried away. Gas has been a disappointing investment for nearly three years, and some analysts expect it to continue. Gas’ struggles started in 2008, when prices crashed from $13 per 1,000 cubic feet in the summer to $5 by the winter. One problem has been supply. There’s too much of it. Demand may also weaken later this summer, Barclays Capital says. Bigger-than-normal snowmelts in the Northwest mean utilities will get more power from their hydroelectric dams, limiting the need for gas. Hydroelectric dam in Rufus, Oregon

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES It makes sense that investors would buy stocks that have done well for them before. It just doesn’t make much of a difference. Researchers from the universities of Arizona, California-Berkeley and California-Davis searched through the trading histories of more than 700,000 individual investors. They found that when investors buy a stock they already owned in the past year, they’re only half as likely to buy ones that had lost them money. The researchers attributed it to investors wanting to forget the regret associated with bad trades. The bias, though, makes little difference. When investors do buy a previous winner, they end up doing about the same as if they had bought any other stock of similar size and growth characteristics.

ANOTHER JUNE SWOON May was a bad month for stocks: The S&P 500 dropped 1.4 percent for its worst loss in nine months. Too bad June is usually a struggle. Since World War II, the S&P 500 has dropped in June nearly as many times as it has gained. June has been just a flat month overall for the index since 1945, tying it for third worst in the year. By June, companies are mostly done reporting first-quarter earnings, which means investors focus more on economic data. It’s been mostly scary lately. The job and housing markets are still weak, and European nations are struggling to repay their debts. Many of the same problems dogged the market last summer, and the S&P 500 lost 5.4 percent in June 2010.

Finding clear values

Brad Hinton, a fund manager and director of research for Wallace R. Weitz & Co., looks to own companies that are good values and easy to understand.

InsiderQ&A

What companies do you like? We’ve been buying Target (TGT) recently on the retail side. We think it’s a great story: a very understandable basic business with Hinton some interesting things going on right now. They’re undergoing [a] remodel program that they’re rolling out to their store base which introduces groceries and other consumables to a bigger percentage of the store, which is ... where the consumer is going now. [They’re] not able to really spend much on [discretionary goods] but [are] getting the dayto-day basics. They also have the REDcard, which is a 5 percent discount store-branded card, which is helping to drive traffic especially among their most loyal customers. But Target’s stock has fallen 11 percent over the past year. Why? Discretionary retail names have been subject to the whims of the marketplace. When people are feeling good about the economy, they tend to bid them up. When people are concerned about either a double-dip or a [sluggish] environment, they tend to get beaten down. Our view is fairly conservative. We think the economy will continue to bump along and stay positive, but we certainly don’t have any real optimistic scenarios baked into our view. What about technology? Large-cap tech just seems very beaten up. We’ve owned Microsoft for a number of years now. It trades at 9 times earnings. It has great [brands] in Office, Windows and other business lines. It’s sitting on $50 billion in cash, although it’s soon to go to $41.5 billion after they purchase Skype. Is it surprising that technology stocks have become values? Many companies that we never thought we’d have the chance of owning 10 years ago are kind of coming into our wheelhouse. We’ve looked at Cisco, we don’t own it currently, but that’s an example of something that we never thought would fall into value territory. We do own Google, which is a [growth] business, but still a relatively reasonably priced stock. ... Dell is also in the sweet spot of large-cap, boring tech that everybody loves to hate. And, again, it’s just an incredibly cheap, misunderstood business. You also own Liberty Media. What do you make of their bid for Barnes & Noble? That’s an interesting one. We understand the appeal of [Barnes & Noble’s] Nook [e-reader]. We have not studied it closely, so we don’t have a strong opinion on what the business is worth. The [Liberty] management team has an incredible track record of employing capital efficiently on behalf of shareholders, so we tend to give them the benefit of the doubt and we’re very interested in learning more about it over time and what they’re seeing there. What industries look expensive? We’ve found that since the March 2009 bottom, small-cap stocks and particularly speculative small-cap stocks have done the best. I don’t think we’d go as far to say they’re ahead of themselves. But I think we’re not finding much value there. What advice would you give to individual investors? The hardest thing in human nature is to chase what’s been hot most recently and that probably takes the form of asset allocation more than anything else. I think a lot of individual investors who are understandably scared and cautious after the financial meltdown kind of fled to the perceived safety of bonds at that point in times when bonds had very attractive valuations. Our concern would probably be that if the stock rally continues to run, hopefully people don’t choose to get back into stocks at the wrong time again.

Bonding with emerging markets Stocks from emerging markets are, well, so 2010. This year, bonds have been the better investment. Mutual funds that invest in emerging market bonds returned 4.5 percent in 2011 through Wednesday. Emerging market stock funds were flat over the same time. Several trends are luring investors to debt issued by emerging markets: • HEALTHIER FINANCES. Greece and other European countries are struggling to repay their debts. The U.S. may default in August unless it raises its debt limit. Emerging economies, in contrast, have much less debt. “Many of these countries have more pristine balance sheets and higher real interest rates,” bond manager Bill Gross wrote in a recent commentary. He runs PIMCO’s Total Return fund, which has $243 billion in assets. He sold all his Treasury holdings in February. • PROSPECTS FOR RISING CURRENCIES. One Mexican

peso was worth 8.057 cents in at the end of 2010. On Wednesday, it was worth 8.56 cents, or 6.2 percent more in dollars. T. Rowe Price just launched a fund to buy bonds issued in emerging market currencies to take advantage of such gains. It already had a fund that invested in emerging markets’ dollar-denominated debt. • FASTER ECONOMIC GROWTH. China and other emerging economies are struggling with inflation, but economists still expect China’s growth to more than triple that of the U.S. next year. Some analysts see dips ahead in coming months, even though they like emerging market bonds for the long term. Credit Suisse analysts, for example, say a series of discouraging economic data reports around the world may cause prices to swing through the summer. Emerging market bonds have also had a shaky past. Russia defaulted in1998, for example.

KEVIN BLAUM IN THE ARENA

Conduct search far and wide for manager “THE COUNTY manager shall be appointed by a resolution of County Council adopted by an affirmative vote of at least a majority plus one.” Those words are chiseled into the new Luzerne County home rule charter that voters adopted in November. Last month, on May 17, we took the first step toward the selection of that county manager when 11 Democrats and 11 Republicans were nominated for county council. Of the 22 nominated, plus an unknown number of independent candidates yet to step forward, 11 people will be elected on Nov. 8. It takes seven of them, “a majority plus one,” to choose the chief executive of Luzerne County. It is the most important vote that council members will cast. The qualifications – or lack thereof – of the person chosen will help determine the future direction of this region. When one considers the important authority vested in the hands of the new county manager, the 11 elected to council and the various combinations of seven therein, become critical. The new charter states that the county manager “shall serve as the head of the Executive Branch of government and be responsible for the administration of all County operations, divisions, departments, bureaus, offices, agencies, boards, commissions, and other administrative units of the County government.” The candidates you ultimately elect will hire the county executive on your behalf. It is of singular importance. Elect the wrong 11 to council, and you might get a local politico incapable of doing the job. The downward spiral will be unabated. A cursory review of the 22 who have been nominated suggests several conceivable combinations of seven that could result in someone being plucked right out of the courthouse, or from the ranks of local political parties, and plopped in the county manager’s chair. It would be terribly naïve to believe that such conversations have not and are not taking place. After all, the home rule charter clearly states “the county manager shall appoint, promote, discipline, suspend, and remove, all county employees” (according to law and agreements, of course). The manager’s authority to hire and fire, and the political desire to see that an “acceptable” manager is named, was reason enough for some council hopefuls to run. The drafters of the home rule charter spelled out quite clearly that the county manager “shall be appointed on the basis of executive abilities and administrative qualifications as evidenced by professional preparation, training, and experience in public administration, finance, and/or other fields that demonstrate substantial ability to perform the functions of County Manager. He/ she shall possess at least a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university and have at least five years of relevant work experience.” Despite the well-meaning intent of the authors, a majority of seven, determined to keep things as they are, will turn those words inside out and put one of their own in charge. In addition, the new county manager is responsible for the creation of a long-range operational, fiscal and capital plan, a “state of the county” report and an “accountability, conduct and ethics code.” The manager must represent the county in all intergovernmental meetings, in matters of economic development and will negotiate, award and sign all agreements to which the county is a party. It is a large responsibility. Voters must elect candidates eager to forego parochial interests and search nationwide for the most experienced, talented and independent executive of integrity they can find. Ask the candidates if they are so inclined. Or, in 2012, are they open to appointing a local politico to run Luzerne County?

Rick Perry: A candidate of many surprises

who headed the CDC’s first task force on the mysterious disease back in 1981. “When those first five cases were reported, there were already 250,000 gay men in the U.S who were infected with the virus.” On the 30th anniversary of the CDC’s groundbreaking report, the worldwide numbers for AIDS simply astound: more than 30 million dead, and another 33.3 million people who either live with the disease or HIV, the virus that causes it. Two-thirds of the world’s AIDS and HIV patients live in sub-Saharan Africa. In the U.S., where more than a million people have HIV or AIDS, the disease has killed more than 617,000 people. The epidemic-turned-pandemic has

IT WAS A cold, blowing, fall day. The boys were gathered around the old stove at Hubbard Grain and Feed in the small, central Texas town of Hubbard, and they had each added a slight nip to the morning coffee. The chill left the room and their ranch-worn, creaking bones. As their temperatures rose, so did their tempers. A few favored re-election of the popular but controversial Texas Commissioner of Agriculture, Democrat Jim Hightower. There were folks back then, in 1990, who said ol’ Hightower might someday be president. Most liked the up-and-comer, Republican State Rep. Rick Perry. They challenged the grain store owner to phone a Texas newspaper publisher he knew. I answered the phone in my office at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that early morning and got an earful of intense lobbying. The majority of the ranchers around the stove liked Perry and said he could beat Hightower, who they disliked. “Endorse him!” they shouted. They wanted to hear nothing of the newspaper’s editorial board and the formal process we followed in making election endorsements. “Be a man!” they demanded. “Listen to the ranchers and endorse him.” I acquiesced, not at all certain I could deliver. But endorsing Perry turned out to be easy. He was a charming and convincing candidate. Besides, I figured that if anyone knew who ought to be Commissioner of Agriculture it would be some ranchers talking politics at the local grain and feed store. Perry beat Hightower in a close race. That’s when I began to realize that you can never take Perry for granted. I learned that after being editor and publisher of The Times Leader — for the first time — and moving to Texas. After spending a number of years running the Star-Telegram for a national media chain and later my own newspaper company, I saw firsthand that it’s unwise to count out Gov. Perry on any front. But Perry for president? Perry has been coy about his intentions, but there have been rumblings of late that he might join the growing list of candidates who will compete for the Republican presidential nomination and the opportunity to challenge President Obama in the 2012 election. Perry has beaten crowded fields before, most notably when he won re-election as governor in 2006 despite being challenged by what seemed like every notable resident of Texas except Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. My favorite candidate in that election, by the way, was singer/songwriter/novelist Kinky Friedman, whose catchiest campaign slogan was his answer to the question of why he was qualified for governor: “How hard can it be?” Being governor of Texas may not be that difficult but, as Kinky discovered, beating Rick Perry is close to impossible. Perry prevailed in that 2006 contest with just 39 percent of the vote. But a win is a win. Rick Perry is a man of infinite surprises. He was once a good Democrat. Serving in the grand tradition of rural Democrats in Texas, he was elected three times to two-year terms in the Texas House of Representatives. Some who know him say that Rick was inspired to pursue a career in politics when he attended — at age 10 or 11 — the 1961 funeral of legendary Texas lawmaker Sam Rayburn, who had served as Speaker of the House both in the state Legislature and in the United States Congress. With the likes of Rayburn and Lyndon B. Johnson as political role models, it made perfect sense that a young Texan in those years would sign on with the Democrats.

In 1984, Robert McIntyre shocked Washington by revealing that 17 companies paid no corporate taxes leading to the Tax Reform Act of 1986. As head of Citizens for Tax Justice, McIntyre is lobbying for another reform to taxes to have large corporations help pay more of the deficit.

Outraged over taxes By TONY PUGH McClatchy Newspapers

ASHINGTON — As a liberal tax-code activist, Robert McIntyre shocked Washington in 1984 when he revealed that General Electric was one of 17 companies that paid no U.S. corporate taxes for three straight years. • The finding by McIntyre’s organization, Citizens for Tax Justice, sparked national outrage that helped pave the way for the Tax Reform Act of 1986. That landmark legislation eliminated tax loopholes to broaden the tax base while also lowering the corporate tax rate. • It also increased corporate tax revenue flowing into the Treasury by 34 percent.

As the Obama administration readies a proposal to overhaul the nation’s corporate tax structure once again, some of the same taxcode giveaways that prompted the 1986 overhaul have reappeared. GE’s low U.S. corporate tax burden is still ruffling populist feathers, lobbyists and legislators have padded the tax code with hundreds of new loopholes and McIntyre is again agitating for change. This time around, he’s joined by dozens of national and state organizations that want corporations to pay down a larger share of this year’s $1.5 trillion federal deficit. They’re urging Congress and the Obama administration to make it happen. To simplify the tax system, President Barack Obama wants to close a host of corporate tax breaks and use the extra revenue that would generate to offset a reduction in the corporate tax rate. America’s top corporate tax rate of 35 percent is one of the highest in the world, but most companies pay a much lower effective tax rate because the system is riddled with tax breaks. “Get rid of the loopholes. Level the playing field. And use the savings to lower the corporate tax rate for the first time in 25 years — without adding to our deficit. It can be done,” Obama said to applause during his State of the Union address. But Obama’s approach wouldn’t take the revenue gained by ending

AIDS at 30: Killer has been tamed, but not conquered By TONY PUGH McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — On June 5, 1981, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning shot to the world when they reported the first known cases of what would soon be called AIDS. In its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the CDC reported that five gay men had been hospitalized in Los Angeles with a rare strain of pneumonia that mainly afflicted people with compromised immune systems. Two of the men already had died. The occurrence “in these 5 previously healthy individuals without a clinically apparent underlying immunodeficiency is unusual,” the now-historic report reads. “The fact that these patients were all homosexuals suggests an association” between the pneumo-

nia they developed and “some aspect of a homosexual lifestyle or disease acquired through sexual contact.” It wasn’t until July 1982 that one of the worst global killers of all time would take its formal name as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. But it took longer for the public to understand that gay men weren’t the only ones at risk. In the years that followed, AIDS would engulf the world in fear as it spread among intravenous drug users, hemophiliacs, pregnant women and infants. Along the way, “safe sex” went from a catch phrase to a lifestyle for many. “Once it became clear that it was in the blood supply and was caused by a virus, people went from total denial and complacency to much more of a panic mode,” recalled James Curran,

OUR OPINION: ETIQUETTE

Show respect at graduations

IGH SCHOOLS throughout the area are holding graduation ceremonies marked by the traditional pomp, ceremony and unfortunately in too many cases, misbehavior. The matriculation of students was once a dignified and respect-filled event. In recent years, however, some people have become comfortable hooting, catcalling, texting, cell phoning and conversing throughout the observance. And we’re not talking about the graduating seniors but, rather, a few bad apples in the audience. Friends, supporters and family members often are the people who are out of order. The students deserve better. They’ve done the hard work to complete studies and wear the cap and gown for graduation. They have earned our admiration and the expectation of a respectful ceremony. Many of these young women

and men will move on to college. They eventually will celebrate other graduations. But some of these young adults plan to immediately enter the work force or the military, and this will be the only school graduation ceremony they will know. In any case, whether this will be the first of many graduations or the only one you attend, mind your manners. Silence your phones and your conversations, and refrain from outbursts of disruptive, untimely applause. Do without the air horns, too. If the graduates want to tape a message to the top of their mortar boards or conjure up the celebratory beach ball, let them have their fun. Everyone else needs to be content with watching from the audience rather than becoming a part of the event. Show some respect. Be a good example. These young people have earned that from us.

Exploitation theories long on seduction, short on facts ONE OF the painfully revealing episodes in Barack Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father” describes his early experience listening to a sermon by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Among the things said in that sermon was that “white folks’ greed runs a world in need.” Obama was literally moved to tears by that sermon. This sermon might have been like a revelation to Obama, but its explanation of economic and other differences was among the oldest – and most factually discredited – explanations of such difference among all sorts of peoples in all sorts of places. Yet it is an explanation that has long been politically seductive in countries around the world. What could be more emotionally satisfying than seeing others who have done better in the world as the villains responsible for your not having done as well? It is the ideal political explanation, from the standpoint of mass appeal, whether or not it makes any sense. At various times and places, it has been the preferred explanation for the economic differences between the Sinhalese and the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka, the Africans and the Lebanese in Sierra Leone, the Czechs and the Germans in Bohemia and numerous other groups. The idea that the rich have gotten rich by

COMMENTARY THOMAS SOWELL making the poor poor has been an ideological theme that has played well in Third World countries, to explain why they lag so far behind the West. None of this was original with Jeremiah Wright. All he added was his own colorful gutter style of expressing it, which so captivated the man who is now president. There is obviously something there with very deep emotional appeal. Moreover, there will never be a lack of evil deeds to make that explanation seem plausible. Because the Western culture has been ascendant in the world in recent centuries, the image of rich white people and poor non-white people has made a deep impression, whether in theories of racial superiority – which were big among “progressives” in the early 20th century – or in theories of exploitation among “progressives” later on. In a wider view of history, however, it becomes clear that, for centuries before the European ascendancy, Europe lagged far behind China in many achievements. Since neither of them changed much genetically between those times and the later rise of Europe, it is hard to reconcile this role reversal with racial theories. More important, the Chinese were not to

blame for Europe’s problems – which would not be solved until the Europeans themselves finally got their own act together, instead of blaming others. It is hard to reconcile “exploitation” theories with the facts. While there have been conquered peoples made poorer by their conquerors, especially by Spanish conquerors in the Western Hemisphere, in general most poor countries were poor for reasons that existed before the conquerors arrived. Some Third World countries are poorer today than they were when they were ruled by Western countries, generations ago. When millions of people believe those theories, including people in high places, with the fate of nations in their hands, that is a serious and potentially disastrous fact of life. Despite a carefully choreographed image of affability and cool, Obama’s decisions and appointments as president betray an alienation from the values and the people of this country that are too disturbing to be answered by showing his birth certificate. Too many of his appointees exhibit a similar alienation, including Attorney General Eric Holder, under whom the Department of Justice could more accurately be described as the Department of Payback.

With celebrity success, we hold fast to American ‘dream’ AMERICANS DON’T seem bothered enough by the country’s growing wealth divide to do much about it, according to a recent Harvard Business School survey. In part, that’s probably because they vastly underestimate the gap, believing the top 20 percent own 59 percent of the nation’s wealth when they actually own 84 percent. But there’s another, less obvious reason for our passivity – the hope and glory pushed by an all-pervasive news, gossip and star-driven celebrity culture. The core of the American dream teaches us that the formula for achieving wealth involves hard work, determination and luck. Celebrities, and the coverage of them, seem to provide visible proof of this message every day: If it can happen to Justin Bieber, it can happen to me. So why change the system? The connection between stardom and social mobility is as old as the first fan magazines of a century ago. Silent-film star Ruth Clifford was an orphan who peered through a knothole at the Edison Studios lot in New Jersey before getting her big break, according to a 1919 issue of Photoplay. The narrative persists like “once upon a time.” Stories about contemporary celebrities – in fan magazines such as “Us Weekly” and on star-driven websites such as E Online

Celebrity culture sustains faith in our economic system in another way. It tells us whom to blame for failure – the individual. During the Depression, silent-film director KAREN STERNHEIMER D.W.

Current debt face-off rehearsal for true crisis AS THE sun rises in the east, the debt ceiling will be raised. Getting there, however, will be harrowing. Which is a good thing. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner warns that failure to raise the limit would be disastrous. In that he is correct. But he is disingenuous when he suggests that we must do so by Aug. 2 or the sky falls. There is no drop-dead date. There is no overnight default. Debt service amounts to about 6 percent of the federal budget and only about 10 percent of federal revenues. This means that for every $1 of interest payments, there are roughly $9 of revenue the government spends elsewhere. Move money around – and you’ve covered the debt service. Cover the debt service – and there is no default. What scares Geithner is not that we won’t be able to pay our creditors but that his Treasury won’t be able to continue spending the obscene amounts of money (about $120 billion a month) it doesn’t have and will (temporarily) be unable to borrow. Good. The government will (temporarily) be forced to establish priorities. A salutary exercise. Equally salutary is the air of crisis that will be generated by the fear of default. We shall have a preview of what happens when we hit the real debt ceiling several years from now, i.e., face real default. That’s our current fiscal trajectory. Under President Obama’s budgets, debt service, now $214 billion a year, climbs to $931 billion in a decade. The current debt-ceiling showdown, therefore, is an instructive dry run of an actual Greek-like default, which awaits if we don’t solve our debt problem. With one difference, of course. During today’s debtceiling fight, if the markets start to get jittery, interest rates on U.S. debt spike and the economy begins to teeter, the whole thing can be called off with a push of a button – an act of Congress hiking the debt ceiling. When the real crisis comes, however, there is no button. There is no flight-simulator reset. We default and the economy really does crash. Which is why the current debt-ceiling showdown is to be welcomed. It creates leverage to force fiscal sanity. But it can be a dangerous game. Republican demands must therefore be well-crafted. Fortunately, they are. Senate

COMMENTARY CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is pushing for budget cuts in the next two years. The effect would be real and multiplicative – when you cut the baseline budget, the savings get repeated year after year. Spending caps are more problematic. They have a baleful history. Experience shows that Congress can padlock the refrigerator door but as long as Congress can still access the key, the gorging never stops. I would suggest, therefore, enacting spending caps that could be overturned in future years only by supermajority – say, two-thirds of both houses. Now, of course, a future Congress could undo this whole scheme by repealing the caps through legislation that would require only a simple majority in both houses. But as long as Republicans maintain the House, they could block this maneuver. The caps would be essentially unrepealable. In this spending-cut tug of war, it is of paramount importance to frame your demands in a way that the public sees as reasonable. The side that can command public opinion will prevail – the other side will ultimately cave for fear of being blamed for whatever dislocation occurs. Republicans should not be asking for, say, repeal of “Obamacare” as the quid pro quo for raising the debt limit. These are bridges much too far for these negotiations. Which is why House Speaker John Boehner’s offer of a dollarfor-dollar deal – raise the debt ceiling to match corresponding spending cuts – is a thing of beauty. It is eminently logical and easy to understand. In a country with a huge 47 percent to 19 percent plurality opposed to raising the debt ceiling, the Boehner offer is difficult for the president to refuse. After all, it invites Obama to choose how much to cut. For example, $500 billion buys him a $500 billion debt-limit hike – and only a short-term extension. Not wanting to go through this process again, Obama would like a $2 trillion debtlimit hike to get him past Election Day 2012. For that, he’ll have to come up with $2 trillion in spending cuts. It might be blackmail. But it is progress. Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@charleskrauthammer.com.

Good news! It’s a brand-new baby ... whatever IT’S THE first question asked when a baby is about to arrive: “Boy or girl?” And in the case of a Toronto couple, the answer has been, essentially, “Whatever.” Kathy Witterick and David Stocker have decided that their third child, named Storm and born on New Year’s Day, will decide its gender when it is ready. In the meantime, they are keeping it secret, and making their two other children, both boys (at least as far as they’re telling us), keep the secret as well. “If you really want to get to know someone, you don’t ask what’s between their legs,” Stocker told the Toronto Star. Added the mother in an email to that paper: “Please can you just let Storm discover for him/ herself what s(he) wants to be?!” Never mind that the question can be answered with one peek down the diaper. What I don’t get is the motivation. The parents, in their late 30s, seem to feel a terrible injustice is done by identifying something that goes back to Adam and Eve, namely, well, whether you’re an Adam or an Eve.

Meanwhile, Storm’s two older brothers – Jazz, 5, and Kio, 2 – are being raised without formal schooling and taught to choose MITCH ALBOM whatever behavior they like. Jazz, according to the Star, dresses in pink, paints his nails “What we noticed is that and wears a stud in his ear. parents make so many choices This, we are to believe, is his for their children,” Stocker told “choice.” Of course, Mom or the Star. “It’s obnoxious.” Dad made the choice to buy the Hmm. nail polish, the clothes and the Calling a boy a boy is not stud. making a choice for your child.

COMMENTARY

What you have here is a classic case of people saying one thing and causing the opposite. By trying to ignore gender, they have made gender the most important thing. There are now online polls as to whether Storm is a boy or a girl (most say boy), and TV shows and talk shows nationwide have been buzzing with it. Don’t treat others that way. Don’t say rude things. It’s called parenting. If the child, later in life, prefers football to lipstick, or boxer shorts to dresses, or one day asks a doctor to mangle its private parts in an effort to be something else, it still will be unable to deny that it was born one way. It’s not a judgment. It’s a fact. So is this. When your child asks, “Am I a boy or a girl?” and you answer, “Whatever you want,” you’re not being wise, hip, progressive or nonjudgmental, you’re just being a fool.

Candidate hopes to keep support

thank the residents of Pringle for voting for me in the primary election. You had confidence that I would be a voice for you. I will not let you down. I am president of our Crime Watch, which I started more than a year ago. There is a rumor that I reported the election workers inside the borough building to the courthouse; this is not true in any way. They are workers, not volunteers, and they are paid for that day. The workers should have been concentrating on their work, not watching what was going on outside. Please consider voting for me in November’s election. Do not listen to any rumors. As you know, there are people who would say derogatory remarks about a person they do not like. I am running for the people of Pringle. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Haas out to make politics decent

am writing a heartfelt thank-you to the Republican voters of Luzerne County who put their trust in me during the primary election for Luzerne County Council. To Democratic and Independent voters: I plan to earn your confidence over the next several months as I share my vision for a government that serves all the people regardless of party affiliation. To marginalized voters who feel that they don’t have a voice: I plan to travel the county – from Sweet Valley to Conyngham Valley, from New Columbus to Old Forge, and from the smallest townships to our larger boroughs and cities – in order to meet with you and hear about your area’s needs. Luzerne County is the best place to live; my vision is to work alongside like-minded candidates to help make our

Thanks to backers of Salvation Army

e express our deep and sincere gratitude to Ginny and Bob Tambur and Val and Gus Genetti, honorees at the Salvation Army’s 2011 Community Award Dinner in recognition of their ongoing and tireless efforts to better our community. We also extend our thanks and appreciation to the nearly 500 friends who attended the dinner in their honor; the Honorable Patrick J. Solano, who served as dinner chair, and his wonderful dinner

committee; our major sponsors (Geisinger, Frank and Dottie Henry, Chuck and Mary Parente, Luzerne Bank, The Times Leader and FOX 56 WOLF-TV); multiple other sponsors and in-kind contributors; and the staff and management of the Genetti Hotel & Conference Center. We are proud to announce that this year’s dinner raised much more than our goal of $100,000 to support the ongoing operation of the Salvation Army’s Kirby Health Center Family House in Wilkes-Barre. A transitional housing program for homeless families with children, it is the only program of its kind in Luzerne County that provides the means to guide homeless families from crisis to stability by giving them the necessary skills and resources for selfsufficiency. We know that achievements such as this in any given community begin with the people who belong to it. We are humbled but not surprised by this community’s commitment to giving back. We have been blessed beyond measure by your good deeds, and our lives are all richer because you have

given so much. May God bless you and may your heart be filled with the knowledge that others now have hope because you care. Capt. Doug Richwine and Capt. Patty Richwine Commanding officers Salvation Army Wilkes-Barre Corps

n behalf of the Luzerne County Historical Society, I thank everyone who participated in the inaugural Classic Car Show at The Swetland Homestead. The attendance was beyond what I had ever imagined! Through your generosity and participation we were able to raise much needed funds that will allow us to continue to preserve our local history. I especially thank Gary Stack, our board president, and Carl Rosencrance, Swetland Committee chairman, for helping to get the event off the ground, and the entire board of directors, as well as our crew of dedicated volunteers,

for all the generosity and effort they put forth to make the event happen. I also thank our staff of Tony, Mary Ruth and Amanda for helping me every step of the way. And a big thank-you to WNEP-TV (Channel 16), WARM 590, Magic 93, the Citizens’ Voice, The Times Leader and the Weekender for making this one of our most promoted events. Finally, a huge thank-you to everyone who brought their cars, came for a tour or stopped by to walk around. You have helped to keep our history alive and made our inaugural classic car show a day no one will forget. You also took the postponement in stride, and many of you changed plans in order to attend. Thank you. We have received much feedback, and have several suggestions for improvements for next year. And yes, there will be another one next year! Hope to see you there. Mark J.

U.S. troops need better technology

s the United States inevitably begins to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, Congress should invest in the new intelligence technologies that will increase the ability of remaining forces to find and capture, or kill, insurgents and to come home safe. Specifically, veterans whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve patrolled Afghanistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dangerous provinces say our troops need next-generation surveillance, reconnaissance, intelligence and communications gear such as the Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brigade Combat Team Modernization system now under development. BCTM would provide troops on patrol the ability to share realtime intelligence, including video and photos from reconnaissance robots â&#x20AC;&#x201C; highlighting, for example, the location of Taliban snipers or alerting all American troops in the area to a potential roadside bomb. Sadly, Congress seems poised to cut the funding for this life-saving technology by drastically cutting the defense budget, recalling the fatal failure to provide adequate body armor to soldiers in Iraq. U.S. troops in Afghanistan will continue to face a hostile

and elusive enemy in the Taliban, who fight with ambushes and hidden explosives rather than by conventional means. To win and survive, our soldiers need tools appropriate to the task.

May 29), he seemingly attacked Republican Congressmen Lou Barletta and Tom Marino for working toward a solution to Medicareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems. Mr. Blaum glosses over the simple fact that Medicare is taking on water and sinking fast. His approach of â&#x20AC;&#x153;keeping your hands off Medicareâ&#x20AC;? will result in its insolvency by 2024. The Medicare trustees confirmed that in early May. The Democrats have not proposed a single serious solution to keep Medicare solvent, and they apparently have no intention to. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid confirmed as much in a late May press conference. The Republicans are proposing solutions. Whether or not you like their proposals, they are at least making them. If

Mr. Blaum is truly concerned about Medicare, he should have focused his opinion column on calling out the donothing Democrats for being content with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mediscaringâ&#x20AC;? seniors instead of proposing a bill of their own to preserve Medicare. Mary Ann Haas Scranton

Best & Brightest still helps others

wanted to give The Times Leader an update regarding one of its Best & Brightest recipients from a prior year. This recipient was my daughter, Erin E. Clemens. She received the honor in 2007, during her senior year at Berwick Area High School, in the category of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Service to the Community.â&#x20AC;? This is an honor that she, as well as her father and I, were very proud of then and still are four years later. Since receiving this award and graduating from high school, Erin has continued to provide â&#x20AC;&#x153;Service to the Community.â&#x20AC;? She completed prepharmacy at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre and is a pharmacy student at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Va. In August 2007, Erin went on her first mission trip to Honduras. This is a weeklong mission during which the team ministers medically,

physically and spiritually to the Honduran people. This trip costs more than $1,500 per team member, and the cost is the responsibility of the team member. I say her â&#x20AC;&#x153;first trip,â&#x20AC;? as she has gone each year since and is preparing to depart again Aug. 6. In January of this year, Erin spent one week of her winter college break on a mission trip to Mississippi to help re-build a Hurricane Katrina-ravaged area â&#x20AC;&#x201C; paying $450 to cover the cost of being part of this team. She also has volunteered at a camp for children with cancer. Erin also is active at Shenandoah University, helping to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and for breast cancer research. I just wanted to say that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Service to the Communityâ&#x20AC;? was not something Erin did only during her high school years to try to earn scholarships; but, as it was then, it continues to be a vital part of her life. During the four years since her graduation, Erin has continued to be very involved in her â&#x20AC;&#x153;hometown communityâ&#x20AC;? (Berwick area) as well as to her â&#x20AC;&#x153;college communitiesâ&#x20AC;? (both Wilkes and Shenandoah). Lori E. Clemens Berwick

God We Trust.” I believe it is in money we trust. How could God bless America given the way we act? Charles Urban Kingston

Resident decries Crestwood cuts

am a proud parent and educator, and a resident of Mountain Top. A few years ago, my wife and I made a conscious decision to buy a home in Mountain Top. One of the main reasons we chose to live here was because we believed that Crestwood Area was a progressive school district and one of the best in the area. I find the recent actions of the Crestwood school district sickening and disheartening. I believe the school board has proposed the wrong decision to furlough teachers, cut fulltime kindergarten and eliminate sports, language and music at the middle school level. The furlough of teachers will only increase the class sizes in our already crowded schools. As a teacher, I firmly believe you can devote more attention to your students if you have a reasonable class size to manage. The cutting of the full-time kindergarten program puts a heavy financial burden on parents who will have to make

arrangements for their children during the day. I would rather have a reasonable tax increase than spend another year’s worth of money on daycare. Taking away full-time kindergarten also will take away a half of a school year’s worth of education from the children by giving them a watered-down curriculum. During my master’s degree studies, I studied brain cognition and brain-based learning. It is proven that physical activity and the participation in the arts and music enhances the learning process. Please ask yourselves, what will these children, who were involved in extracurricular middle school activities now do with all of their time? I have been around middle school and high school students as a teacher for 13 years and as a football coach for 10 years. Getting children involved in sports and extracurricular activities will help keep them focused, driven and out of trouble. I understand perfectly well that Gov. Tom Corbett left a terrible hardship on our localities. One of his campaign promises was to not raise taxes. So what is he doing? He is not asking the gas drilling companies for funds, is he? No, instead he wants taxpayers to pay. He has proposed cuts to several programs, grants and educational funding, which leaves all of the burden and difficult decision-making to our Pennsylvania localities.

Mundy’s welfare stance questioned

challenge state Rep. Phyllis Mundy on a recently letter to the editor she wrote (“Mundy clarifies vote on welfare,” April 24). She questioned the validity of state Rep. Tarah Toohil’s bill to address welfare fraud. Specifically, Mundy stated that she’s willing to address welfare fraud. I disagree. To begin, the welfare system, as a way of redistributing wealth, is the fault of Democratic lawmakers. This has been the campaign promise of Democrats in the name of the poor and disenfranchised, and it seems everyone who supports these welfare programs votes exclusively Democratic. The Republicans always promise to address it, but they lie. This is because they support welfare for the rich and cannot credibly address welfare from the opposite end of the spectrum. No one in Harrisburg is ignorant regarding welfare programs in this commonwealth. There is no desire to eliminate welfare as it exists from either end of the spectrum, since politicians from both parties survive by its existence. Ms. Mundy does not try to stop this. Between my wife and I, we have at least 28 years (combined) working with welfare recipients. This includes work

did not happen overnight, meaning in the last five to 10 years. “This is 40 years that we have been spending beyond our means,” he said. Well, he’s partly right. Go back to the Reagan years and you’ll find the tax breaks for the rich, not the spending, was what started the debt to go up and go crazy. Look it up; it’s true. Everything went downhill: jobs, wages, union jobs – and the rich didn’t reinvest in their companies any more for tax breaks, they just kept the money. President Clinton came in and raised the taxes on the rich, created 22 million jobs, balanced the budget – and the economy went up. But when President Bush came in, he lowered the tax on the rich, started two unfunded wars, deregulated the banks, didn’t create any new jobs in eight years and gave the seniors an expensive, unfunded drug plan. Now the Republicans blame President Obama for the deficit. Get real, America. In what America is it that you take food out of a baby’s mouth so that you can give more tax breaks to the rich? Not my America. The Republicans won’t vote for anything that is against the rich. They blocked everything the Democrats tried to do and then tell you the Democrats don’t know how to govern. The working class better wake up and quit complaining about too much government. We got bin Laden, not the Republicans.

for the federal government, the Department of Public Welfare and the Department of Corrections. We have opened our home and our wallets to numerous individuals who were in need. While there are individuals in need of a safety net (my own mother being one of them, at a point in time), the entire system is supporting a population of substance abusers who have no intention to be anything more. The stories I could tell would fill a book. The fact is, most people who work in the welfare system also know this is going on. I have heard many of them relate to me the fraud and abuse they know goes on. They also relate how they are told to keep quiet about it. I have a challenge for Ms. Mundy. If you believe Rep. Toohil’s bill is wrong, let’s have a public meeting on it. Let’s open this discussion up for any state employee, without fear of reprisal, to share with the public any concerns they have about fraud and abuse in the system. This matter can be openly debated by taxpayers whose paychecks support the drug users and sluggards. This is a far better idea than the propaganda put out by politicians trying to avoid being held accountable for the results their policies have had. Joseph Martin Berwick

ou in Washington are selling out America by allowing corporations to move jobs overseas and giving them billions of our tax dollars to relocate. We have illegal immigrants coming into this country, getting college educations, starting businesses and beating the system and the government out of taxes. Meanwhile, Congress wants to lower the deficit by going after the middle class, retirees, disabled veterans, the poor and needy by eliminating Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, education and social programs and COLA for retirees. You bailed out corporations and those greedy individuals on Wall Street. Why did our government and Congress let this happen? Bailout money should aid taxpayers facing unemployment, the loss of their homes or the high cost of living. How about paying back the IOUs in Social Security that our president and Congress borrowed over the years? This was money paid by working people for retirement, and Congress over the years failed to pay it back. Could you call this embezzlement? It seems our government is just as bad as these corporations and CEOs. We have a problem, and it seems we need a stimulus plan to bring us on solid ground. By the same token, Congress must lay down the law to the fat cats and lobbyists who got us into this mess. Government took prayer out of schools, out of public buildings and out of our lives.

destabilized nations and revolutionized medical research. It confronted cultural and social taboos and rewrote the book on political activism. But even as 7,000 people around the world become infected with HIV each day, experts say Americans who never knew the terror of AIDS’ early days have become complacent about prevention due to life-extending drug therapies that allow HIV patients to live relatively normal lives. “There has been incredible progress over the last 30 years, but we’re still in the thick of a major public health crisis, and unfortunately the sense of crisis in this country has waned,” said Dr. Richard Wolitski, deputy director for behavioral and social science in CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention. “Today’s young people have never known a time without effective HIV treatment, and we’re asking them to act against a threat that seems remote, but is still very real.” One in five people in the U.S. with HIV doesn’t even know it, which helps explain why a third of new HIV cases are revealed in the later stages, often within a year of developing full-blown AIDS. Unlike the generalized epidemics that have ravaged poorer countries, the U.S. has a “series of concentrated epidemics,” among certain demographic groups and in certain areas of the country, said Jeffrey Crowley, director of the White House Office of National AIDS Policy. For example, the District of Columbia’s 3 percent HIV infection rate is one of the highest in the nation and rivals that of poor developing countries. Nationally, some 56,000 Americans are infected each year with the HIV virus and nearly half are African-American — blacks also make up about half the nation’s AIDS and HIV patients, Wolitski said. Men who have sex with men account for more than half of the nation’s new infections — and they’re the only at-risk group experiencing rising numbers of infections. “This is extremely concerning,” Wolitski said. “We’re now seeing numbers of new infections among men who have sex with men that are higher than the ones that we saw at the end of the 1980s.” A series of medical breakthroughs in the mid-1980s helped stabilize and slow the spread of the disease. As new modes of transmission were discovered, new guidelines to halt transmission were announced, followed by the first anti-HIV drug, AZT, in 1986. One of the biggest breakthroughs in the fight against AIDS came in 1985 when the first practical blood test for the HIV virus became available. Robert Gallo and his team of researchers at the National Institutes of Health developed the blood test in 1984 after they co-discovered HIV in 1983. Gallo, who now directs the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland, recalled meeting Curran in a Bethesda,

Gallo, Curran and others are working to develop an HIV vaccine, and progress is being made. “We have scientific evidence that a safe and effective HIV vaccine is possible,” said a statement by Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at NIH. A 2009 clinical drug trial in Thailand showed for the first time ever that a vaccine could stop HIV infections in a modest share of participants. HIV researchers are studying blood samples from the trial to see what made it successful and whether it can be made more effective. Scientists funded by NIH are also trying to design HIV vaccines based on the “protein structure of the surface spikes that HIV uses to attach to and infect human cells with the virus,” Fauci’s statement said. Parts of the spikes are vulnerable to antibodies that have been shown to block human cell infection by more than 90 percent of HIV strains worldwide. “Now the scientists are mapping a strategy to create a vaccine that can stimulate a healthy person to make such broadly neutralizing antibodies,” Fauci said. Fauci’s optimism reflects the growing international commitment to improve funding for

“It’s an opportunity to put into place some fair tax policies that, in fact, produce revenue from the richest people in this country and the richest corporations that should be paying."

code more efficient and promote U.S. economic competitiveness — and that makes it hard for Republicans to reject his proposal outright. His approach meets the terms of a tax pledge signed by more than 230 GOP House members and 41 Republican senators. In signing the pledge, sponsored by Americans for Tax Reform, a conservative lobby, lawmakers agree to fight any efforts to cut or eliminate tax breaks unless they’re matched by identical cuts in the tax rate — which is exactly what the Obama plan calls for. But McIntyre and his fellow liberal tax activists don’t like it. They question why savings from a reduction in corporate tax subsidies should go right back to businesses in the form of a tax cut. Shouldn’t some, even most, of the billions in new revenue go toward reducing the deficit, they ask? After all, that would provide some relief to ordinary citizens who otherwise will bear most of the deficit-reduction burden through cuts in government services. Business lobbyists see things differently. Caroline Harris, chief tax counsel for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said the federal deficit is due to overspending, not undertaxing (although that’s highly debatable, as statistics show the overall federal tax burden is well below historical norms.) “If you have a spending problem, you need to fix it with spending cuts,” Harris said. “If Congress can’t show fiscal austerity and make spending cuts, then taxing or putting the weight of deficit reduction on the backs of businesses that create jobs is not a good idea.” Republicans in Congress agree. However, an April Gallup poll found that 2 out of 3 Americans think corporations pay too little in taxes, while only 1 in 5 said businesses pay their fair share. In a letter to Congress, McIntyre’s group and a host of labor and liberal allies say that lawmakers, in their zeal to cut the federal budget, have ignored corporate tax subsidies, which deny the Treasury revenues and thus increase budget deficits the same as direct program spending. Why, they ask, aren’t those breaks on the table in all the deficit-reduction talks? The 10 largest corporate tax breaks will cost the federal government more than $351 billion from 2010 to 2014, according to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation. “It makes no sense for Congress to debate cuts in public services that working families rely on while ignoring the public spending that benefits corporations and is hidden in the tax code,” the letter reads. “We strongly believe most, if not all, of the revenue saved from eliminating corporate tax subsidies should go toward deficit reduction and toward creating the healthy, educated workforce and sound infrastructure that will make our nation more competitive.” The sentiment has struck a note with liberal lawmakers such as Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., who says it’s time for revenueraising tax overhauls. “It’s an opportunity to put into place some fair tax policies that, in fact, produce revenue from the richest people in this country and the richest corporations that should be paying,” Boxer said. But getting any kind of tax-

code clean-up through Congress is never easy, and in today’s polarized politics, it’s harder than ever. Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and former Republican Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire sponsored the Bipartisan Tax Fairness and Simplification Act of 2010. It would have coupled a corporate tax cut with the rollback of tax breaks for individuals and corporations. The measure died in committee. Until more details of Obama’s tax plan are released, it’s unclear how much support it could receive from Republicans and the corporate sector. What is clear is that there’s little chance of passing legislation aimed at increasing corporate tax

revenue, said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D. “It’s very hard to be revenueneutral and reduce the (tax) rate, so going even further than that is a hard thing to do,” Conrad said. “Hard in terms of the substance. Hard in terms of the politics. Hard to do.” Even McIntyre concedes that the fight will probably take several years. For inspiration, he remembers the years of work it took to pass the 1986 tax overhaul under President Ronald Reagan, a Democratic House and a MCT PHOTO Republican Senate.

In 1998, he won the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor, which in the governmental hierarchy of Texas is an important and influential position. His opponent was a popular Democrat, John Sharp, who resigned as state comptroller to run for lieutenant governor. Perry surprised everyone,

Bush when Bush decided to run for president. Perry went on to be elected governor in his own right and is now the longest-serving governor in Texas history. In his most recent election, just last year, Perry faced a primary challenge from Kay Bailey Hutchison, who had established a nationwide reputation and political following as a U.S. senator. Hutchison garnered support from some powerful allies, including former Vice President Dick Cheney, real estate developer Ross Perot

Jr. and a Who’s Who list of Dallas-area movers and shakers who provided her with support, advice and — most important — cash. Hutchison was at one time thought to be a near shoo-in. Make that “shoo-out.” Perry prevailed in the primary and was re-elected as governor. My inclination would be to suggest that Perry is not likely to run for president and that, even if he does, he’s not likely to win. But I don’t dare make such a suggestion. I can still hear the voices of those good ol’ boys at Hubbard Grain and Feed ringing in my ears.

ed deaths fell 19 percent from 2004 to 2009, while new HIV infections have fallen 19 percent worldwide over the last decade. And with the falling cost of antiretroviral medications, poorer countries can now provide a year of drug therapy for about $137. The price break helped more than 5 million patients in lowand middle-income nations get AIDS medications in 2009, compared with 400,000 in 2003. Today, 53 percent of HIV-infected pregnant women have access to

drugs that prevent transmission of the virus to their unborn children, compared with just 45 percent in 2008. Curran said the lack of AIDS resources in poor nations continues to be a problem, but he’s optimistic that advances in drug research will provide an HIV vaccine to ease the suffering. “We’ve been pessimistic about HIV in the past, and the skeptics have been proven wrong,” Curran said. “I hope the same thing will be proven again.”

LOS ANGELES — Melissa McCarthy is a good friend. After all, for years now, she’s been there for the likes of Lauren Graham, Christina Applegate and Katherine Heigl. On TV and in romantic comedies, McCarthy has been quite happy to be the confidant to the star, a character actor frequently called upon for advice or comic relief. “I’ve always kind of been the supporting person or the friend, which is perfectly fine and fun, but I always want to push that,” said the actress, 40, who for years played such a role on the long-running “Gilmore Girls” and in the movies “Life as We Know It” and “The Back-up Plan.” “Have I been up for leads in movies? Not really. I don’t think I had the opportunity before.” If the success of her new film “Bridesmaids” is any indication, McCarthy’s movie prospects likely are about to change. The Judd Apatow-produced R-rated comedy about the misadventures of a maid of honor preparing for her best friend’s upscale wedding raked in a surprisingly strong $26.2 million at the box office on its opening weekend, prompting Hollywood to declare a need for more smart, female-driven comedies. The film stars “Saturday Night Live’s” Kristen Wiig, and the ensemble cast includes Rose Byrne, Maya Rudolph and Ellie Kemper in addition to McCarthy, who audiences also might recognize from her hit CBS series “Mike & Molly.” Critics have praised her scene-stealing turn in “Bridesmaids” as the bawdy Megan, a heavyset woman with short-cropped hair and no time for the graceful femininity her fellow bridesmaids display; she wears her pearls with Dockers, thank you very much. She also burps in public and aggressively flirts with strangers.

Gaga delivers the goods on new album W

By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY

AP Music Writer

ith the Lady Gaga market reaching oversaturation, it’s easy to get a sense of fatigue when listening to her latest effort, “Born This Way,” released by Interscope. Delivering her third studio album in just a three-year span after a nonstop juggernaut that included a seemingly endless tour, hit after hit, countless magazine covers and even social activism, another Gaga offering is a little bit tiring to those who aren’t part of her army of “little monsters.” It doesn’t help that the standard edition of the album is 17 full-length tracks, clocking in at a little more than two hours. A little less than a third of the way through, a “what — there’s more?” feeling starts to sink in, and finishing the album seems to be a daunting task.

But “Born This Way” deserves that listen — again and again and again. Though there are a few songs that miss the mark — the Madonna-rip-off title track, for example — overall, the album, like Gaga, is hard to get out of your conscious. “I could be girl/ unless you want to be man/ I could be sex/ unless you want to hold hands/ I could be anything/ I could be everything,” coos Gaga on “Government Hooker,” a wicked electro-groove that manages to be more naughty than Rihanna’s “S&M” without being as explicit. It’s just part of the provocation — both

sexual and religious — that Gaga uses to push buttons throughout the album. Though there are song titles like “Bloody Mary,” “Judas” and “Electric Chapel,” and lyrics tweak conservative mindsets, at its core, “Born This Way” is mostly an album about themes that have been written about from the beginning of pop music — love, lust and acceptance. “Americano,” with its flamenco-inspired melody, is a love song — it just happens to be about two women. “We can marry, on the West Coast, on a WednesAP PHOTO

You’ll dig around and discover the true intentions of others. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Slow and steady is not usually your style. You’d much rather wave a magic wand so that you can experience instantaneous results. And with the magic of technology, you may get your wish today! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

It’s better to dedicate your energy where it will be appreciated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). “Easy does it” is a phrase that applies well now. The difficult route is not going to get you there at all, so there’s no glory in taking it. Go the easy way, and you’ll reach your destination. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s nice to have friends in powerful places. And you’re careful not to brag about this because you don’t want to tempt others to take advantage of your connections. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 5). You have reached a level of wisdom that allows you to live in harmony. You’ll invest your time in a relationship that pays you back in more joy than you knew was possible.

view. McCarthy, who grew up in Illinois, said she based Megan on women she encountered there, later developing the archetype at Los Angeles-based improvisational comedy troupe the Groundlings. “There’s just something about that no-nonsense Midwestern woman in a sensible shoe that I really love,” McCarthy said. “I like having specificity in a character. In the movie, I had long acrylic nails with French tips. I like strange little unexpected things, because if you start to pull those together, you have a really specific interesting character as opposed to a caricature.” That was the draw for Wiig, who suggested McCarthy to “Bridesmaids” director Paul Feig and Apatow, both of whom had considered writing Megan out of the script because they couldn’t find the right actress for the role. McCarthy commits to creating a recognizable person out of a broadly drawn character “and never going out of it. You think, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s how this person really acts,’ ” said Wiig, a former Groundlings member herself, who cowrote the screenplay with Annie Mumolo. But “Megan is a tad aggressive, where Melissa has a softspoken energy.” “Megan was a total dark horse at the end of the process,” Feig recalled. “We’d seen a lot of people, and didn’t feel like we had it. Then Kristen and Annie were like, ‘We have this friend from the Groundlings, and people line up around the block when she performs.”’ McCarthy did cultivate a fervent fan base during her years at the L.A. comedy venue. She joined the troupe in 1997 after moving from New York to Los Angeles in the hopes of working in local theater. “I spent seven or eight years in New York doing very dramatic plays, and I thought theater in L.A. would be amazing,” she said, rolling her eyes. “Then I got here, and my sister sent me a little article on the Groundlings. I didn’t know where else to go, so I went,

day,” Gaga sings slyly. “Hair,” like “Born This Way,” is a plea for individual freedom via the follicles — “I don’t want to change, I don’t want to be ashamed, I’m the spirit of my hair ... I am my hair,” she declares on the pop-rock groove, which sounds as if it could have emerged from the soundtrack to a 1980s teen flick. Much of the music veers from pulsating dance grooves and the retro rock that Gaga showcased on “Fame Monster.” The album’s best track —“You and I” — sounds as if it could be the companion to “Speechless,” another ballad similarly anchored by dominating

piano chords. Gaga, who co-wrote every tune on the record and again worked with collaborators such as RedOne and Fernando Garibay, doesn’t show particular musical growth but establishes a consistency of strong material throughout most of the disc. Lyrically, at times she still perplexes — the whirring “ScheiBe” starts off with German then segues into a female-empowerment anthem — but it’s those bizarre moments that are part of the Gaga-intrigue. “Born This Way” needs a bit more editing. A smattering of tracks, like “Bad Kids” or “Black Jesus,” could have been left off for a tighter disc. But it doesn’t take away from its strength, and overall, it’s an album that should add to Gaga’s growing status as this generation’s cultural icon.

acters with rolls and rolls of fat kissing each other.” But McCarthy believes that critics have since been able to move past the issue of the characters’ weight. “I guess I was expecting it because people love to make a thing out of everything,” she said. “We always said, if people are still talking about weight at the end of the season, we’d be in trouble. But they’re not, so we’re on the right track.” Apatow said he thinks the program’s success proves that audi-

ences respond well to the actress. “She’s one of the most likable people I’ve seen on screen,” the filmmaker said. “Before she even speaks, you get the sense that she’s just really nice.” McCarthy’s future in movies, meanwhile, is already shifting into high gear — recently, she and Mumolo sold a script to Paramount Pictures about a group of Midwestern women who set out to steal the Stanley Cup. And this time, McCarthy will play the lead.

The series, which premiered last September, initially earned attention with its premise about a hefty couple who meet at Overeaters Anonymous. Marie Claire writer Maura Kelly claimed on the magazine’s website that she would be “grossed out if (she) had to watch two char-

And, of course, they are lighter than, say, a conventional volume of “War and Peace.” “Oh, it’s less than a pound,” Audrey Kurz said, lifting her Kindle, which weighs in, according to an online description, at 8.7 ounces. Despite these advantages, the readers who gathered at the West Pittston Library said they enjoy the tactile sensation of turning the pages of an old-fashioned book. And, that’s not all. “Part of the fun is to come to the library,” said Frank Bullock, 52, of Exeter. “You see your neighbors, and the kids get to see other kids.” Bullock recently purchased an ereader from Kmart for his young daughter yet predicted, “If everyone stays home and downloads ebooks, it’s gonna be colder.” “I think that’s very true,” Bramblett Barr said. “That’s why libraries have to reimagine themselves. We’ve got programs for little kids.

the old fort’s bombproofs, earthand grass-covered structures designed to provide an underground space for operations during an attack. Signage leads visitors to viewing platforms that keep people off the fragile earthwork walls. The small museum is located near the site’s entrance. Opened in 1964 during the Civil War’s centennial, the museum interprets the fort’s role in the Union’s occupation of Alexandria, a vital crossroads town dating back to Colonial times. In addition to displays on the everyday life of Civil War soldiers, the museum features an exhibit on the “Ellsworth incident.” The exhibit includes a lock of his hair, a red kepi (cap) he wore, photographs of the young officer in uniform and contemporary published accounts of his death at the hands of James Jackson. Most of a star from Jackson’s secessionist flag, still stained with Ellsworth’s blood, is on display, along with the “O” from the Marshall House sign, one of the many pieces of the structure torn off the building by souvenir-hunting Union soldiers seeking a momento from the spot where Ellsworth was slain. “Col. Elmer Ellsworth and The Marshall House Incident”

NEW YORK STATE MILITARY MUSEUM: The Empire State’s repository for its military heritage is located in Saratoga Springs, just north of Malta, the town where Ellsworth was born in 1837. The museum’s collection includes the uniform coat Ellsworth was wearing when Jackson fired a shotgun into his chest as the 24-year-old officer descended the stairs

leading to the Marshall House’s roof. The coat, still showing the hole where the slug entered, is on display, along with one of Ellsworth’s swords and a Zouave drill manual. Jackson’s flag — originally 14 feet by 24 feet — is among the museum’s collection of more than 800 Civil War battle flags, the largest state collection in

the nation. Large swaths of the banner were cut up for souvenirs after Ellsworth’s death; about 55 percent of the original flag survives. One of several large stars on Jackson’s flag was removed and saved by Ellsworth’s uncle, who later donated the item to a local Civil War veterans group. The neighboring Town of Saratoga came into

possession of the star, which was donated to the museum in August 2006, reuniting it with the flag for the first time in more than 140 years. The flag is being worked on by the state’s flag conservators and is scheduled go on display July 12 as part of a Civil War battle flags exhibit at the state Capitol in Albany. Ellsworth’s death devastated Lincoln, who had his protégé’s funeral held in the White House before the body was sent north, where it lay in state in New York City and Albany before being buried in nearby Mechanicville,

“Misery Bay” by Steve Hamilton; Minotaur (304 pages, $24.99)

A detailed account of year of music By MICHELLE WIENER For The Associated Press “Fire and Rain: The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, CSNY, and the Lost Story of 1970” (Da Capo Press), by David Browne:

he first album I fell in love with was Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” I was about 7 years old; the album had been out for eight years.

I didn’t know it would be their last album, and I wouldn’t have cared.Onlythemusicmatteredto me. It would be much later that I would acquire an interest in musicians as actual people with actual lives and turn to journalists and chroniclerstotellmetheirstories. David Browne’s “Fire and Rain: The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, CSNY, and the Lost Storyof1970”isaworthyaddition to anyone’s collection of such music histories. As the account of a single year in music, Browne weaves the narratives of four bands and artists who each releasedanalbumoflastinginfluence in 1970: The Beatles’ “Let It Be;” Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Déjà vu;” James Taylor’s “Sweet Baby James;” and my favorite, Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” What emerges is a scrutiny of a significant year of transition — the ’60s counterculture is rapidly receding in the country’s rearview mirror, the singer-songwriter focus of the ’70s has yet to take hold — that holds its own against any other year in terms of its dramatic tensions and cre-

ative output, not to mention increasingly traumatic national events like the shootings at Kent State University and the government’s response to a series of bombings perpetrated by radical fringe anti-war groups. The one problem with organizing such a detailed account is there tends not to be extreme personal changes over the course of a single year. Bands that are fighting in February are still fighting in November and over pretty much the same things. But the nuanced account of the struggles inherent in making music is more than enough to satisfy, as are the delightful surprise connections and asides scattered throughout the book. Browne’s detailing of Simon and Garfunkel’s dissolution is poignant, and while the sections about CSNY verge on tabloid gossip, I couldn’t help but be riveted by the account of this group of immensely talented people who also, when they weren’t at each other’s throats, seemed like they’d be cool to hang out with. And that’s basically why we read books about musicians, right?

A bracing return for Alex McKnight Although it was 2006 when Steve Hamilton last published an Alex McKnight novel, the author hits the ground running in his excellent eighth thriller about his reluctant private investigator from upper Michigan. Despite the five-year lag, Hamilton doesn’t miss a beat in reestablishing Alex as a sturdy, complex character more than capable of carrying a series. At the same time, Hamilton makes his character seem fresh and new — as if we never met Alex before — with an involving and emotionally charged plot that skirts the edge of noir. “Misery Bay” showcases Hamilton’s dark vision and his talents as a sturdy plotter. Although Alex McKnight has been missing in action for a few years, Hamilton hasn’t exactly been idle. His 2010 “The Lock Artist” recently won the 2010 Edgar Award. “Misery Bay” is as bracing and challenging as the cold wind that blows off Lake Superior. “Misery Bay” works equally well as a private eye tale, a police procedural and a character study. As the engrossing novel develops, Alex learns that sometimes minor incidents have major consequences. Alex is as Hamilton last left him. He’s getting over a tragedy, tending to those visitors who rent cabins from him in the ironically named Paradise, Mich., and spending his nights drinking at his local pub run by his friend, Jackie. Alex is there at the Glasgow Inn one cold night when his least favorite person, Sault Ste. Marie police chief Roy Maven, shows up asking him to help a friend. Putting aside his feelings, Alex, himself a former cop, agrees to meet with Roy’s friend, U.S. Marshal Charles “Raz” Razniewski. Raz wants Alex to find out what drove his only son to recently commit suicide in an isolated area near Misery Bay. But Alex uncovers an insidious pattern of crimes that targets former marshals and their grown children. The reluctantly growing friendship between Alex and Roy becomes a cornerstone of the plot as the two men put aside their differences for a greater good. Hamilton’s view of the harsh, bleak landscape of winter in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula will have readers grabbing their coats and gloves as the frigid air seems to seep through the pages. “Misery Bay” is like a visit with an old friend with whom you can’t wait to catch up.

British comedian reinterprets ancient events to reflect modern-day life By CARL HARTMAN For The Associated Press

“The Ancient Guide to Modern Life” (The Overlook Press), by Natalie Haynes:

Is there anyone out there who still wants a reputation as a scholar of the ancient classics — without bothering to learn Latin and Greek? It’s simple and easy. Just read a consistently amusing but quite serious book by a woman known as one of Britain’s leading broadcast comedians. Then just quote. Author Natalie Haynes was

struck in her preteens with a crush on the old accounts. She pursued an education in classical languages and literature that took her through Cambridge University. That’s a better way to become expert. It enables “The Ancient Guide to Modern Life” to cover history from the oldest known Greek philosophers to the collapse of the Roman empire. When she was 12, Haynes was touched by the story of a couple who enjoyed their house and garden in Pompeii. The couple didn’t know — as Natalie knew — what

the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79 would do to all of them. When she read Virgil’s “The Aeneid,” she was hit by another emotion: indignation. Today’s stories for children about the Trojan horse might have been judged by Trojan eyes as oversimplified and unfair. They weren’t stupid about the big wooden carving loaded with

Greek soldiers that they took into their city. To them, sneaky Greeks and supernatural monsters sent by Greek gods were just too much for their kind natures. “I was as hooked as the poor Trojans,” she writes. Describing an ancient event in today’s terms brings it to life and clarifies new thought that the description may inspire. She complains of today’s world where so many people refuse to acknowledge anything but the present. So her book compiles some of what she considers the best stories

of the ancient world, stories about people much like ourselves, from whom we may have something to learn. “Myths are debunked — Julius Caesar’s last words weren’t ‘Et tu, Brute?”’ she writes. That’s Latin for “You too, Brutus?” That’s debatable but worth debating. She finds one ancient source, known for gossip, who suggested that Caesar’s words, as conspirators plunged their daggers into him, were not Latin but Greek. The Greek words translate as “You too, child?”

A possible explanation: Caesar was known to have a long-term relationship with a married woman, and she had a son named Marcus Junius Brutus. Caesar might have been the father. Why the Greek language? The author doesn’t explain. Many educated Romans spoke Greek. But maybe Caesar’s last thought was that the less educated in the crowd would miss the implied insult to the lady and her young son if he avoided identifying them in the language they understood.

Civil War death explored in 3 exhibits A

By CHRIS CAROLA

Associated Press

LEXANDRIA, Va. — Col. Elmer Ellsworth never stepped foot in Fort Ward, but a lock of his hair and his uniform cap have made it here to the grounds of one of the dozens of Union strongholds built around the Washington, D.C., area after the outbreak of the Civil War. Ellsworth was the first Union officer killed in the conflict. His death on May 24, 1861, while removing a flag from the top of the Marshall House hotel in Alexandria caused a sensation throughout the nation, prompting thousands of men across the northern states to enlist for the Union cause and go to war against the South. He was made a martyr in the North, and his image appeared on stationery, sheet music, pottery and memorial lithographs throughout the war. Although Ellsworth’s death preceded the construction of Fort Ward and the 67 other Civil War forts that guarded the nation’s capital, he’s the focus of a new exhibit at the Fort Ward Museum and Historic Site in Alexandria, just across the Potomac River from the District of Columbia. “We are a Union fort,” said Walton Owen, assistant director and curator at Fort Ward, “and he’s an important part of our local history and the occupation of Alexandria.” The 150th anniversary of Ellsworth’s death is also the subject of an exhibit at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., and several of his artifacts — including the uniform coat he was wearing when he died — are on display at the New York State Military Museum in Saratoga Springs. Forever linked with Ellsworth is James Jackson, the Marshall House proprietor and staunch secessionist who shot the Union officer in a stairway of the hotel. Cpl. Francis Brown,

one of Ellsworth’s soldiers, shot and killed Jackson, who was hailed in the South as the “first martyr” of the Confederate States of America. While Ellsworth is buried under a 40-foottall obelisk at his gravesite in upstate New York, there’s no memorial in the South dedicated to Jackson, though his name was added to Alexandria’s Confederate Statue 11 years after it was unveiled on May 24, 1889. Before the war, Ellsworth gained national fame while leading a military-style drill team called the Zouaves, known for their distinct uniforms of red pantaloons, red fezzes and blue brocaded jackets. He also became close friends with Abraham Lincoln while clerking in the future president’s law office in Illinois, and he campaigned for the Republican Party candidate during the 1860 election. FORT WARD MUSEUM AND HISTORIC SITE: Fort Ward was named for Commander James Harmon Ward, the first Union naval officer to be killed in the Civil War. Construction began in September

The exterior of the Fort Ward Museum in Alexandria, Va. Although Col. Elmer Ellsworth’s death preceded the construction of Fort Ward and the 67 other Civil War forts that guarded the nation’s capital, he’s the focus of a new exhibit at the Fort Ward Museum and Historic Site in Alexandria, just across the Potomac River from the District of Columbia.

1861 and was completed in about a month. The fort was the fifth largest of the installations collectively known as the Defenses of Washington. Traces of about 24 of the fortifications still exist, including Fort Ward, considered the best-preserved of the sites still accessible to the public. Operated by the city of Alexandria, the museum and adjacent park offer visitors a

glimpse of what a garrison soldier’s life was like during the Civil War. A reconstructed officers’ hut represents a typical fort dwelling of the era, while Fort Ward’s Northwest Bastion, mounted by several cannons, has been completely restored. Other earthwork walls have been preserved at the site, set amid the lush landscape of a 40acre park located in a residen-

tial neighborhood. The park has picnic facilities, restrooms and an open-air amphitheater for weekly summer concerts. Col. Elmer Ellsworth’s death A road rings the site’s perim- preceded the construction of eter while a walking path passes Fort Ward and the 67 other See CIVIL WAR, Page 6F
