WILKES-BARRE – Eighteen years ago, John Maday and a few friendssatdownatsomecardtables in Nesbitt Park. They had an idea: a festival with no other aim than to bring people closer to the Susquehanna River, to experience its beauty and appreciate its role in their lives. They sat down at their card tables, and a few people showed up. Eighteen years later, Maday was back in Nesbitt Park, playing traffic cop as waves of kayakers landed at the boat launch and teams of dragon-boaters set off, 22 in a boat. “We have 200-plus people on the water,” he says after directing a fan boat – a safety measure – past a dragon boat team lining up to board See RIVERFEST, Page 16A

WILKES-BARRE – “Dragon boating is about teamwork,” Naomi Kaphan tells the team of novice rowers lined up at Nesbitt Park Saturday afternoon. “Winning the race is teamwork; don’t do your own thing.” Kaphan, a coach from New York City-based Women in Canoe, matches rowers in order of relative size, with the smallest team members at the ends of the boat and larger ones in the middle, maintaining balance. When the 20 paddlers – in this case from Guard Insurance -- get out on the water, they aim to row in unison, syncing their movements with the steady See DRAGON, Page 16A

Faced with massive losses of state money, many Luzerne County school districts have frozen salaries of workers who have employment contracts but no union: Administrators and others who fall under the state law commonly known as “Act 93.” And though many of the salaries are high, the savings are small.

A majority of Luzerne County’s 11 districts either have frozen Act 93 salaries for the upcoming school year or are in negotiations that could lead to a freeze. Because so many contracts are in negotiations or are newly settled, accurate calculations of true savings are impossible, but a best-guess estimate suggests a complete freeze on Act 93 salaries would net Luzerne County residents savings of less than $400,000. That’s plenty of money, but peanuts compared to See FREEZING, Page 13A

Barletta out to his old ball game Once a Major League hopeful, the new congressman now plays for a bigger cause. By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington Bureau

U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, sports his baseball gear.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – His gait was a little stiff, courtesy of a pulled hamstring that served to remind U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta that years have passed since he was a speedy 21-year-old center fielder who tried out in 1977 for the Cincinnati Reds. But clad in a Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees jersey, Barletta strode to the plate at Four Mile

When Barletta laced a hit through the hole between the third baseman and the shortstop, a chorus of chatter went up from a group of fellow GOP lawmakers just about as happy to see him on the field as in the halls of Congress. Sure, GOP House members were pleased when Barletta, a former Hazleton mayor, defeated veteran Democratic Rep. Paul

‘E Street’ sax man Clemons dies By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY AP Music Writer

NEW YORK — Clarence Clemons, the larger-than-life saxophone player for the E Street Band who was one of the key influences in Bruce Springsteen’s life and music through four decades, has died. He was 69. Clemons was hospitalized about a week ago after suffering a stroke at his home in Singer Island, Fla. He died of complications from the stroke, spokeswoman Marilyn Laverty said Saturday. Known as the Big Man for his imposing 6-foot-5-inch, 270-plus pound frame, Clemons and his ever-present saxophone spent much of his life with The Boss, and his booming saxophone solos became a signature sound for the E Street Band on many

key songs, including “Jungleland,” a triumphant solo he spent 16 hours perfecting, and “Born To Run.” In recent years, Clemons had been slowed by health woes. He endured major spinal surgery in January 2010 and, at the 2009 Super Bowl, Clemons rose from a wheelchair to perform with Springsteen after double knee replacement surgery. But his health seemed to be improving. In May, he performed with Lady Gaga on the season finale of “American Idol,” and performed on two songs on her “Born This Way” album. Clemons also performed with the Grateful Dead, the Jerry Garcia Band, and Ringo Starr’s All Star Band. He recorded with a wide range of artists including Aretha Franklin, Roy Orbison and Jackson Browne.

sabelle Joan Hooley, 79, a lifelong resident of the North End Section of Wilkes-Barre, died Friday, June 17, 2011, in the Wilkes-Bane General Hospital surrounded by her loving family. She had fallen ill earlier in the day, and her death was unexpected. Mrs. Hooley was born in WilkesBarre, a daughter of the late Ralph and Isabelle Smith Thomas, and was a graduate of James M. Coughlin High School, class of 1949. She had been employed for several years at the former Wilkes-Barre Lace Manufacturing Co., Courtright Avenue, Wilkes-Barre.

She was an active member of St. Luke’s United Church of Christ, Wilkes-Barre, serving as a member of the Consistory, member of the choir and soloist, the Hannah’s, the Rummagettes and had also been a Sunday School teacher. Joan was also a nursery school mother for some time. She was often seen walking her beloved dog, Copper, and feeding birds and squirrels out of her hand. She enjoyed coloring black and white photos with oil paint and making ceramics. She was a loving, caring and selfless person who constantly reached out to others despite her own ailments. She enjoyed sitting on her front porch and would often offer a ride to those that appeared to be in need.

By HELEN O’NEILL AP Special Correspondent

TROTWOOD, Ohio — Growing up, Adrian McLemore was a troubled little soul who spent much of his time exploding in confusion and rage. At 6, he nearly set the house on fire. At 7, his mother — raising him and his two sisters alone in Georgia — told social workers to place him in a foster home. McLemore would spend a total of 11 years in foster care and he would learn many things — how to control his anger, how to channel it into programs that helped children like himself, how to survive in homes where families had completely different rules and expectations. He learned that foster kids are largely invisible to the lawmakers who craft the rules that govern their lives. And he became determined to change that, joining youth organizations, becoming a dynamic young leader who lobbied fiercely for the rights of foster children to a better childhood — and a better preparation for adulthood. And then, at 22, McLemore — who had devoted so much time to thinking, speaking and writing about the lessons of his own childhood — would be given a chance to put those lessons into practice. Overnight, he became a “father.”

ing room, but he speaks with the same conviction and intensity he has brought to speeches before countless state and congressional committees and study groups. Determined to run for political office someday, he addresses lawmakers as “my future colleagues” as he urges them to increase, not reduce, funding for foster care programs. Impeccably dressed, with a deep voice and imposing presence, McLemore makes a striking impression. And he gets things done. He successfully advocated to have Medicaid coverage extended to age 21 for former foster children. He was a founding member and first president of the Ohio Youth Advisory Board, which has become a powerful advocacy group for foster youth. He worked with the administration at Wright to allow former foster students live in dorms during school breaks, so they wouldn’t end up homeless. McLemore isn’t sure what prompted him to get so involved. Perhaps he wanted to escape the loneliness of an uncertain home life by becoming part of a larger community, creating a “family” of his own. For although McLemore has nothing but respect and admiration for the families who cared for him, their homes never felt like the loving, permanent home he has created for A’Rayiah and Tyiaun. “You simply never know when you might be told to pack your things and leave,” he says. “In foster care, families can always say, ‘Take him back.’ Real parents don’t have that option.” Children mean a lot He calls them “my precious cargo” A’Rayiah, 4, has eyes that turn from pale green to gray, and a mop of pink-beaded braids. Sweet and soft-spoken, she dreams of playing basketball, of living with her mom, of having her uncle buy a van big enough to hold their entire extended family of cousins and aunts and grandparents. Her 2-year-old brother, Tyiaun, is a cherubic-faced tornado of energy, tottering and tumbling, smiling when he is not pouting, asking never ending questions in a language all his own. Parenthood has changed everything about McLemore’s life, except his long-term goals. Gone are the days of living on chili cheese fries and root beer. Now his shopping list includes Lunchables, fruit cups and diapers. His social life is practically nonexistent, except during football season when he spends every possible moment watching the Denver Broncos. Weekends, when the children visit their mother, are devoted to sleeping, cleaning and catching up on studies. McLemore believes fatherhood has humbled him, made him feel less self-important. “I come home at the end of the day, and it’s all about them,” he says.

A 12-space ‘parklet’ will replace on-street spots in Wilkes-Barre due to widening project

Parking ban frustrates residents By JERRY LYNOTT and BILL O’BOYLE jlynott@timesleader.com boboyle@timesleader.com

and Doreen Finley for 40 years. The city was not upfront about the ban and it’s disrupting their lives, they said. “We’re taxpayers,” said Grasavage. “We feel our taxes should be reduced now.” Finley and her husband Tim are moving to a neighboring township and they say the parking ban is one of the reasons. They worry about selling their house on Coal Street, however. “Who’s going to buy a house where you can’t park,” asked Tim Finley. When the project is completed there will be a 12-space “parklet” between North Hancock and North Grant streets and the spaces will be available on a firstcome, first-serve basis, said Butch Frati, the city’s director of operations.

WILKES-BARRE – The no parking signs went up on Coal Street last week and so did Jim Grasavage’s frustration level. Accustomed to parking in front of his house, Grasavage and other residents like him were forced to find spots on the already crowded side streets. The signs are temporary, but the ban will be permanent. The $12 million project to widen and redirect the busy roadway to a new intersection at WilkesBarre Boulevard bans on-street parking. “For us, it’s very frustrating,” said Grasavage. “It’s a very frustrating situation.” The 53-year resident of Coal Street met with neighbors in his house Saturday to speak out against the ban. Jack Jones has lived on the street for 39 years See PARKING, Page 9A

State police issue warning

State police are investigating a reported phone scam and wish to warn area residents about the scheme. State police said a Wayne County resident reported on Thursday receiving a phone call from a man relating that he was an Officer Frank Johnson from the Department of Law and Enforcement in New York. The caller said a lawsuit had been filed against the Wayne County resident and that the person would go to jail if they did not pay $20,000, police said. The caller, who reportedly spoke broken English, also said he would go to the resident’s house if the $20,000 was not paid by a certain date and made threats, state police said. The call came from 646-470-3597, state police said. 646 is a New York City area code. State police said this sort of scam is becoming prevalent in the Wayne County area and wish to warn residents not to provide any information to the callers should they receive such a call.

Shickshinny was officially designated a Susquehanna Greenway River Town earlier this spring because of the community’s efforts that have been under way the past few years to connect the community with the river, create a riverfront park and river access area, connect Shickshinny and other communities with a system of trails, preserve its local history, conserve the environment, promote businesses and welcome visitors.

Karzai confirms peace talks held

B R I E F

Afghan president said his government and U.S. hope to end nation’s nearly 10-year war. By JON GAMBRELL and AHMAD MASSIEH NESHAT Associated Press

‘I just felt a kick’

A Chinese man touches the swollen belly of a Statue of Liberty displayed at an art district in Beijing, China, Saturday.

KABUL, Afghanistan — President Hamid Karzai acknowledged Saturday that the U.S. and Afghan governments have held talks with Taliban emissaries in a bid to end the nation’s nearly10-year war, even as suicide attackers launched a bold assault in the heart of the county’s capital, killing nine people. The attack, which occurred just blocks from Karzai’s office, shows the parties have a long way to go to reach a political settlement as the Obama ad-

ministration weighs a major withdrawal of its forces. The White House neither directly confirmed or denied Karzai’s statement. Three men wearing camouflage fatigues that are frequently worn by Afghan soldiers stormed a police station near the presidential palace, with one of them detonating an explosives vest just outside the gates as two others rushed inside and began firing, an Interior Ministry statement said. The crackle of gunfire echoed through the usually bustling streets for about two hours before security forces killed the two remaining attackers. Insurgents killed three police officers, one intelligence agent and five civilians in the attack, according to the ministry statement. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Muja-

hid claimed responsibility for the attack in a text message to The Associated Press. Attacks in the Afghan capital have been relatively rare, although violence has increased since the May 2 killing of Osama bin Laden in a U.S. raid in Pakistan and the start of the Taliban’s annual spring offensive. The last major attack in Kabul took place last month when a suicide bomber wearing an Afghan police uniform infiltrated the main Afghan military hospital in late May, killing six medical students. A month before that, a suicide attacker in an army uniform sneaked past security at the Afghan Defense Ministry, killing three.

Giffords visits hometown

ep. Gabrielle Giffords lost little time after her release from the R hospital in returning to her hometown,

visiting Tucson for Father’s Day for the first time since shortly after she was gravely wounded in a shooting rampage in January. “We’ve been dreaming of this trip for some time,” Giffords’ astronaut husband, Mark Kelly, said in a news release Friday. “Gabby misses Tucson very much and her doctors have said that returning to her hometown could play an important role in her recovery.” Kelly said the trip “is sure to be very emotional” and hopes the news media respects their privacy. Giffords spokesman C.J. Karamargin said the Democratic congresswoman traveled by private plane from Houston to Tucson with Kelly and one of his daughters and she’ll spend Father’s Day weekend with her family.

Airline has no explanation for outage, which canceled flights Friday and Saturday. By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ and BARBARA RODRIGUEZ Associated Press

ORLANDO, FLA.

Testimony: Autopsy shoddy

A renowned forensic expert testified Saturday that the autopsy done on 2-year-old Caylee Anthony was “shoddy” and that the duct tape Florida prosecutors contend suffocated the child was not applied until after her body had decomposed. Dr. Werner Spitz offered his opinion on the third day of the defense’s case in the murder trial of Casey Anthony, the Florida mother charged with murder in Caylee’s death. The state rested its case earlier in the week. Spitz has been an expert witness in several high-profile cases, including that of O.J. Simpson. Spitz also testified it was a failure that Caylee’s skull was not opened during the official autopsy. Spitz conducted a second autopsy later. “The head is part of the body and when you do an examination, you examine the whole body,” Spitz said. “... That to me is a signal of a shoddy autopsy.” WARSAW, POLAND

Air show plane crashes

A small plane lost control and plunged into a river Saturday as it performed stunts at an air show in Plock, Poland. The news station TVN24 broadcast images of the small plane doing aerobatics when it began spewing out plumes of dark smoke and then plunged into the Vistula River. Rescue workers pulled the pilot from the wreckage and tried to resuscitate him before sending him to a hospital. It was not immediately clear if he survived. MORELIA, MEXICO

Nine bodies discovered

Mexican authorities said Saturday the bodies of nine victims of suspected drug violence have turned up in the western state of Michoacan. The state prosecutor’s office said in a statement that authorities found eight bodies in three different areas of the port city of Lazaro Cardenas. Three of the cadavers had been dumped in front of the state public security agency. Another body was found in the state capital of Morelia. Several of the still unidentified bodies were discovered with messages from the Knights Templar and claiming responsibility for the killings. The violence is due to a rupture in the La Familia crime organization after the gang’s leader, Nazario Moreno, was killed in a shootout with police Dec. 9.

Gov. Cuomo fights for gay rights New York State Republicans haven’t made decision on bringing issue for vote. By MICHAEL HILL Associated Press

ALBANY, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo has become a prominent champion of legalized gay marriage, pushing his state into the center of the national debate over an emotional and divisive issue. In the past week, the Democrat has personally lobbied wavering Republican lawmakers and has said the extension of marriage rights to gays and lesbians is “a matter of principle, not politics.” “This state has a proud tradition and a proud legacy as the progressive capital of the nation,” he said Friday. “We led the

Cuomo

way, and it’s time for New York to lead the way once again.” The effort carries some political peril but could be potentially rewarding, given evolving public sentiment on gay rights in New York and

the nation. “It looks like a profile in courage, and maybe it is,” said Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. “But it also may be politically smart in the long run.” Cuomo’s support for gay rights is already known to New York voters. His efforts this past week to get the bill through the Republican-controlled state Senate — the lone roadblock to passage — make good on an issue he ran on last year. Dur-

ing that campaign, he took his daughters to a gay pride parade in New York City, drawing sharp criticism from his Republican opponent. “The governor is putting skin in the game and has a steadfast commitment to the issue,” said Kevin Nix of the Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights group. As a purely political matter, advocating for gay marriage makes sense for Democrats in a state like New York, where gay groups are players in party politics. Cuomo’s lobbying, coming after he pushed through a fiscally conservative budget, also could burnish his image among liberals. Cuomo is an astute politician who was a key player in his father Mario’s campaigns for New York governor three decades ago. Polls have shown that more than half of voters in New York support gay marriage.

NATO says Gadhafi using human shields Two explosions shook Tripoli as the Libyan leader lashed out against airstrikes in a speech. By ADAM SCHRECK and DON MELVIN Associated Press

TRIPOLI, Libya — NATO hit back against Moammar Gadhafi’s defiance Saturday, saying the Libyan leader is “brutally attacking” his people and using mosques and children’s parks as shields for his military operations.

At least two explosions also shook Tripoli as NATO jets soared above the capital, hours after Gadhafi lashed out against airstrikes late Friday in a speech, inGadhafi sisting “NATO will be defeated.” It was not immediately clear what had been hit or if any casualties were reported. In Brussels on Saturday, NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu dismissed Gadhafi’s speech as “outrageous.”

The alliance, which has a mandate to protect civilians, has been ramping up the pressure on Gadhafi’s regime as a fourmonth uprising devolved into a civil war. Though most airstrikes happen under cover of darkness, daytime raids have grown more frequent. Libya’s Health Ministry released new casualty figures that put the number of civilians purportedly killed in NATO airstrikes through June 7 at 856. The figure could not be independently verified, and government-announced tolls from individual strikes were exaggerated.

Friday’s shutdown occurred late enough in the day that many of the canceled flights were the last planes out for the day, said Henry Harteveldt, an airline analyst with Forrester Research. On a Monday morning, the results could have been catastrophic. “It happened as a lot of the airline was going to sleep for the night,” Harteveldt said. That doesn’t mean affected travelers were happy. “I’m just amazed at how catastrophic the failure was,” said Jason Huggins, 35, who was trying to fly home to Chicago after a week working at his software company’s San Francisco headquarters. “All the computer screens were blank, just showing the United logo.” Huggins paid $1,200 to book one of the last three seats left on an American Airlines flight home. Airplanes are flying fuller this summer. United’s were 86.8 percent booked on average in May.

Debate will begin on whether to impose taxes on drillers

Drilling tax legislation piling up By PETER JACKSON Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A short discussion, a unanimous vote and the deed was done — the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee sent to the floor of the Legislature a bill to extract tens of millions of dollars annually from natural gas drilling on the rich Marcellus Shale formation, Tuesday’s action all but guarantees that debate over the white-hot issue will open — perhaps as early as next week — as legislative leaders and Gov. Tom Corbett enter the endgame of negotiations over a deficit-threatened state budget for the year starting July 1. Whether the drilling and budget debates will intersect is unclear. But at least a dozen bills are pending — a smorgasbord of taxes and fees proposed by members of both parties in both houses — and there appears to be bipartisan, majority support in both chambers for some tax or a more limited “impact fee” on the drilling activity that is rapidly expanding across northern and western Pennsylvania. “Right now, it’s a feeding frenzy,” said Sen. Mary Jo

White, the committee’s chairwoman and author of an amendment that the panel attached to SenCorbett ate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati’s impact-fee bill before sending it to the floor. A poll released this week by Connecticut-based Quinnipiac University indicated that two out of three Pennsylvanians support the natural gas industry for the economic benefits it provides to some of the state’s most economically disadvantaged communities. A January poll commissioned by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review showed about the same proportion favoring a tax on drilling. Corbett, a Republican in his first year as governor, has ruled out a broad tax on drilling that would raise revenue for other state programs on the grounds that it would stifle the industry’s growth. But he has said he would consider an impact fee that primarily helps municipalities pay for road repairs and other work related to the effect of local drilling. The governor, who promised

as a candidate not to raise any state taxes, wants to put off any decision until after July 22 — several weeks after lawmakers typically have approved the budget and left the Capitol for the summer — so he can weigh the findings of his Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission. “An impact fee is not a part of this budget,” said Corbett spokesman Kevin Harley, paraphrasing his boss and echoing House Republican leaders. Scarnati, the ranking Republican senator and a key player in the budget talks, believes postponing action may be politically impossible. Noting that painful budget cuts are inevitable in a year in which state faces a prospective $4 billion shortfall, Scarnati summed up many legislators’ attitude as, “We’re not going to go home cutting programs and not levying a fee on this industry.” Scarnati, R-Jefferson, said the drilling debate should be separate from the budget. Otherwise, he said, lawmakers may press their drilling proposals as amendments to the fiscal code bill — a companion to the budget bill that tells state agencies how to spend their appropriations — and disrupt the budget process.

“It’s fine to say we’re going to wait until July 22, but I don’t think the Democrats and some Republicans see that date as magic,” he said. Rep. Joe Markosek, the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, said leaders of the minority party are keeping their options open, but could support a reasonable tax or fee with the revenues supporting local governments and environmental protection “You’re only going to get one bite of the apple at that issue,” the Allegheny County lawmaker said, “so it has to be something that is very reasonable.” Rep. Kate Harper said she included a provision in her severance tax bill that reduces the rate for new wells in response to Corbett’s concern about taxes hurting the industry. “We’re not trying to fight with him,” she said. “What we’re trying to do is find a solution that he finds acceptable.” The Montgomery County Republican said linking the drilling issue to the budget makes sense. “Deadlines are good and the budget is a natural deadline for getting other things done as well,” she said. “All the moving pieces are in play.”

Flight 93 Memorial almost ready By KEVIN BEGOS Associated Press

SHANKSVILLE — The Flight 93 National Memorial is close to being finished in time for the10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, including a long, white marble wall bearing the names of the 40 passengers and crew who perished when the plane crashed. Visitors will be able to follow a walkway just over 100 yards away from where the plane crashed. The design features dark concrete paths and a long, white marble wall inscribed with the names of the 40 passengers and crew who died. “It’s intended to be a memorial site, and focus on their actions, as opposed to try and re-create an historical event,” said Keith New-

lin, park service superintendent for Western Pennsylvania. “They were fighting over the skies for 35 minutes before they came to this site. Their resting place is here.” Flight 93 was traveling from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco when it was hijacked with the likely goal of crashing into the White House or Capitol building, the 9/11 Commission found. According to family members in cell phone contact with passengers, those aboard tried to overpower the hijackers. But the plane crashed into a field near rural Shanksville, about 65 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. Newlin said the Flight 93 Memorial uses a few basic materials. “It’s intended to give people a healing experience,” he said.

Cancer walk at LCCC a tribute to hope and fortitude Survivors and people who just want to help walk to raise funds and buoy spirits. By CAMILLE FIOTI Times Leader Correspondent

NANTICOKE – Wearing a vintage pink and gold beaded gown with a giant stuffed flamingo on her head, Anne Holmes stepped out in style during the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life at Luzerne County Community College Saturday. Holmes, a professor in the Health and Physical Education Department at the college, said she wore the zany hat in memory of her friend Claire Mulrooney, who died from cancer several years ago. “She used to ‘flock’ people,” Holmes said, referring to the prank of planting flocks of plastic pink flamingos in friends’ front lawns. “She was one of the funniest people I knew and the dearest of friends,” Holmes, 50, said. Her fellow members of the “Walking Divas” team sported feather boas, flowery hats and tutus. “I call this my garden hat,”

said fellow LCCC employee and team member, Machelle Smith, 50, sporting a faded rose lace cap and a black and fuchsia apron. The Walking Divas were among the nearly 200 LCCC staff members, students, and members of the community who took part in the 24-hour walk in the parking lot of the Advanced Technology and Educational Conference Centers. “We’re walking for family and friends who have died from cancer and those who are facing the challenge right now,” said Holmes. The walkers were divided into seven groups, some with as many as 30 members. “The goal is to have someone on the track for 24 hours,” said event organizer Maureen Ryneski, a director in the college’s Academic Affairs department. To keep the walkers energized, a number of fun activities were planned during the laps. Local businesses also donated pizza and prizes for the walkers. As of Saturday morning, the event raised nearly $8,000. “I feel great,” said cancer survivor John Murray, 54, of Dallas. After he underwent surgery last year to remove a tumor from his

liver, he was back at work a month later. Murray, a father of seven, is an occupational therapist and operates Gem Therapeutics in Dallas with his brother Joseph. His wife, Dianne, 46,

said their family has been blessed with help from the American Cancer Society, their church and the Back Mountain community. Upon receiving the diagnosis, Dianne said her husband’s

doctors said the options were limited, but to be hopeful. “That’s what we hung onto,” she said. Fellow survivor Jane Rosentel, 58, of Forty Fort, was diagnosed

with uterine cancer five years ago, and is in remission. “I feel absolutely wonderful,” she said. “The last thing you want to hear is a cancer diagnosis, it’s so frightening,” she said. Rosentel, a corporate sales team leader for Pride Mobility, commended her oncologist, Dr. Bruce Saidman and her gynecologist, Dr. Michael Ferraro. “They got me on the right course.” She also turned to the American Cancer Society for help. “Many times I was scared and I called the hotline,” she said. “They gave me the information I needed.” The first Relay for Life event was held in 1985 in Tacoma, Wash. Since then it has become an international fundraising and awareness event to save lives from cancer. Tom Leary, LCCC president, said this is the first year the campus sponsored the event and he hopes it will become an annual tradition. “It is about those who have lost lives, survivors and those who have yet to be diagnosed,” he said. “It’s about caregivers and their families. These are the people we are walking for today.”

Fierce political rivals President and House Speaker unite for golf win Match pitted them against Vice President Joe Biden and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

“It may move you a little bit closer toward the kind of compromise that we need to get the things done that the American people expect us to get done. If it takes a few hours out on the golf course to help that process, I think it’s a worthwhile thing to do.”

well over five hours, and those close to the president say he revels in the chance to get out of the spotlight. Obama’s penchant for privacy extends to his social life. He surrounds himself with a tight inner circle of family and friends, and rarely socializes with other politicians in Washington. In fact, Saturday’s golf outing was one of the first times Obama and Boehner have gotten together for anything other than a policy meeting. White House spokesman Jay Carney said earlier in the week that the outing was “meant to be an opportunity for the speaker and the president, as well as the vice president and Ohio governor, to have a conversation, to socialize in a way that so rarely happens in Washington.” The Obama-Boehner golf outing coincided with White House and congressional negotiations on a long-term deficit reduction plan and raising the government’s borrowing authority. Republicans have insisted on significant cuts of about $2 trillion over10 years or12 years before agreeing to increase the current $14.3 debt ceiling,

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner put partisanship aside, at least on the golf course, and teamed up to triumph on the final hole Saturday in their longawaited links outing. The match pitted the political rivals against Vice President Joe Biden and Ohio’s Republican Gov. John Kasich. The match was won on the 18th hole, with the winning partners each pocketing a $2 prize. The question now is whether a partnership forged on the tees, fairways and greens of a military base course can yield success in the policy arena. Obama and Boehner find themselves on opposite sides of everything from deficit reduction to the military campaign in Libya. Aides to both men played down the chances of deals being struck

on the par-72 East Course at Joint Base Andrews, but acknowledged the outing could improve a relationship that is respectful, but hardly close. Tee time for the foursome was 9:30 a.m. at Obama’s home course at the base outside Washington. The White House made a rare exception and allowed the press to watch Obama and his playing partners finish the first hole, a par 5. Biden was cool under pressure, sinking a 15- to 20-foot putt. “Did you all catch that?” Obama shouted to reporters gathered near the green. The president, dressed in dark pants, a white polo shirt and a baseball cap, putted for par, tapping in a short shot after missing a 12-footer. Kasich, a former congressman, missed a 30-footer, then tapped in for par. Boehner, one of the best golfers in Congress, gave a hearty “Oh yeah!” after draining a short putt. Obama, who is not in Boehner’s links league, patted the speaker on the back as they headed toward the second hole, the president driving their cart.

National retail stores in California hit with wave of lawsuits over seats for employees

Trial attorneys use obscure labor law that sees retailers facing millions in damages. By PAUL ELIAS Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Retail store operators may want to sit down for this one — if they can find a chair. Nearly every national chain is under legal attack in California for failing to provide “suitable seating” for cashiers and other employees who are expected to spend most of their work day on their feet. Enterprising trial attorneys by the dozen are using an obscure

After wrapping up the match, the foursome headed to the clubhouse, where they had a cold drink and talked with service members. They also caught some action at the U.S. Open, the professional tournament going on in suburban Maryland. While Obama is an avid golfer, he rarely plays with anyone outside of his small cadre of close aides. His rounds run long, usually

California labor law requiring retailers such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Target to have enough seats on hand for their workers. Superficially, the allegations appear to be little more than a nuisance. But armed with two recent appellate decisions that allow workers and their lawyers to use California’s novel “private attorney general” provision, the retailers are facing millions of dollars in damages. A first violation calls for as much as $100 per employee per pay period and double that for subsequent violations. Lawyers say those penalties add up for big-box retailers that employ hundreds of thousands of Californians.

The stampede to the courthouse began shortly afterward. Lawyers predict that more than 100 such lawsuits have been filed throughout the state. The first appellate ruling overturned a lower court’s decision tossing out Eugenia Bright’s lawsuit against 99 Cents Only Stores.

manager. So Barletta is “one of the ones we’re excited about” when it comes to new lawmakers taking the field for the congressional baseball game, he said. GOP vs. Democrats Along with partisan politics and arguing over the budget and issues such as immigration, health care and climate change, a consuming passion on Capitol Hill is the annual congressional baseball game pitting a team of Republican lawmakers against a squad of Democratic lawmakers. The main sponsor is Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, and a raft of corporations and trade associations also contribute money and equipment for a game that last year raised $150,000 for charity and this year could approach a $200,000 haul for the Washington Literacy Council and D.C. Boys and Girls Clubs. This year’s game is the 50th anniversary of the modern version of the congressional baseball game – though the contest dates back to 1909 – and will be held July 14 at Nationals Park, the home to Washington’s Major League Baseball team. But while lawmakers are proud of raising money for charity, they don’t leave their competitive instincts at the ballot box or on the House floor when they take the field. Republicans point out that they have won a majority of the games over time – but Democrats crow that they have won two in a row and that a win this year gains them the Roll Call Trophy, which goes to the winning team in a running best-of-five game series, and is quickly paraded around the House floor following a serieswinning game. Getting in lineup Barletta notes that though he was an outfielder in his youth at Hazleton High School and Luzerne County Community College, he’s happy to take the mound and willing to limp through 7 a.m. practices if that’s what it takes to make the starting lineup on a team with a 45-player roster. “Making the starting lineup could be tougher than getting to Congress,” Barletta quipped while he stretched his aching muscles before Wednesday’s practice. “It’s no surprise that these guys are so competitive because they didn’t get here by not being competitive. That’s why I am going to play hurt. I have my leg all wrapped up. I don’t want to lose my position. There are too many competitive guys here waiting for me to go down.” Barletta acknowledges a certain amount of teasing out on the House floor about expectations for what he can contribute to the GOP team’s effort. “The only problem with that is you can’t bring your scrapbook up to home plate with you,” Barletta said. “That was a long time ago and I can see some of my

The problem here is my mind is still 21, but my body is 55.” Thinking about his days as a baseball player, Barletta admits to some regrets. He poured himself into the tryout in Tampa, Fla., with the Cincinnati Reds in February 1977, but the Reds’ major league team and entire farm system were chock-full of outfielders, and the Reds didn’t sign any of the 65 players at that tryout, Barletta recalls. Lou’s glory days The Reds organization, noting his speed, encouraged him to attend walk-on tryouts with what were then MLB expansion teams in Seattle and Toronto, but, “after the tryout I was disappointed and I just went home,” Barletta said, adding that he was a newlywed and decided it was time to go to work. “I really put everything into this tryout,” Barletta said. “You know, you think you are good until you see kids from all around the country.” After practice Wednesday, still walking gingerly despite all his stretching, Barletta seemed satis- Lou Barletta waits for his turn in the batting cage during the Republicans’ baseball practice at Four Mile Run Park in Alexandria, Va., fied – yet realistic – about getting on Wednesday. back out on the field for the congressional baseball game. Laughing, he quoted from a popular Toby Keith country song: “I ain’t as good as I once was, but I’m as good once as I ever was.”

“That was a long time ago and I can see some of my skills have deteriorated over the years. Eyes aren’t as good, back’s sore, lot of aches and pains the next day.

Lupas. Garcia will be sentenced on Aug. 9. According to court papers, on June 16, Hazleton police were dispatched to the Family Dollar store on West Broad Street for a reported robbery.

The clerks said one man brandished a silver handgun and pointed it at the clerks demanding money, while the other asked for money to be handed over and removed money from a cash drawer.

Lou Barletta displays his Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees shirt during practice Wednesday. His Republican team holds the edge in wins against their Democrat counterparts in the annual game played to help charity. Barletta hit well in the practice, though he says he feels some aches and pains in playing the game he started playing when much younger.

Police said the men, Jesus Torres, 23, also of Hazleton, and Garcia, then fled by unlocking the front door. Torres said Garcia used the handgun to demand money and that he, Torres, removed the mon-

ey from the cash register totaling just over $1,200. Torres has previously entered a plea to similar charges and is tentatively scheduled to be sentenced on June 20.

Additional spots will be available along the old Coal Street from the boulevard to North Hancock near Walter’s Hardware Store, said James May, spokesman for the state Department of Transportation’s District 4-0 office in Dunmore. The new design includes four pull-off areas for buses, he said. “In the new area for Coal Street, there will not be parking available because in order to do so, we would have had to take

more land from either the park or from the residents, and we felt that would not be appropriate,” said May. More than $1 million was spent on acquisitions to make the street wider, said Frati. May said residents were notified of the project details long before construction began. “I know there were some notices in local papers and I spoke with a representative from Pennoni Associates (engineering and design consultants) who said that they have notified all residents and met with many of them and discussed the project,” May said. “Also, he said that the city

Pa. plant still ‘meats’ needs of bologna making Lebanon bologna has been made at small plant in Weavertown for 120 years. By BRAD RHEN Lebanon Daily News

WEAVERTOWN — For nearly 120 years, Lebanon bologna has been made at a small plant in a tiny village just north of Lebanon. Located along Weavertown Road in North Lebanon Township, the plant was originally built in1893 by Daniel Weaver, who began making Weaver’s Lebanon Bologna in 1885. Through the years, the plant has been expanded several times, and new, modern equipment has been added. Today, the plant also makes the Kutztown brand of bologna — Kutztown’s plant was destroyed by fire in 2000 — and both brands are owned by Godshall’s Quality Meats of Telford, Montgomery County.

But while the equipment and the ownership may have changed many times in the last 118 years, the bologna recipes are the same as they were when both Weaver’s and Kutztown were founded, said Jerry Landuyt, director of marketing at the Weavertown facility. “They’re both the original recipes,” said Landuyt, who owned the Kutztown Bologna Co. before its disastrous fire in 2000. Lebanon bologna, for those unfamiliar, is a type of sausage made of beef and spices that gets its unique flavor from smoking. It is believed to have been invented by Pennsylvania German settlers in the 1700s. It began being commercially produced in the late 1800s, and it has been a staple in many homes ever since. Weaver’s bills itself as the oldest commercial manufacturer of Lebanon bologna. However, Landuyt said, the process by which the bologna is made has changed

dramatically through the years. “Bologna is still woodsmoked,” he said. “That really hasn’t changed. But as far as making it, packaging it, how fast we can do it, we can certainly make more in one day than they used to make in probably two weeks. “We used to have one stuffer do all the work, and now we have like four of them running all the time,” he added. When Daniel Weaver first opened the plant in 1893, there were about 15 employees. Today, there are about 70 full-timers. In addition to bologna, the plant also makes several other products, including beef sticks, bacon, ham, turkey jerky and pepperoni sticks. “Beef sticks have become a big thing since about the early ‘80s,” Landuyt said. “They got started in the beef stick business, and that has grown very big through years, and it continues to grow.” While many of Weaver’s prod-

ucts are sold nationwide, Landuyt said, most bologna is sold within 200 miles of Lebanon. The Weaver brand is sold more in the Philadelphia area, while the Kutztown

brand is more popular in central Pennsylvania. Landuyt said he might have had something to do with Kutztown’s popularity in the Lebanon

Valley than Weaver’s when the two brands were competitors. “When I had Kutztown, of course, we got all the business we could,” he said. Business is still good, Landuyt said, noting that the plant was mostly unaffected by the recent economic downturn. “It would be fair to say that everything was affected by it; however, it would also be fair to say that we’ve been fortunate,” he said. “We are on the good side of it. Our business has gone up dramatically, 20-plus percent from last year to this year.” Landuyt theorized that one of the main reasons business is up despite the economic downturn is because of the high quality of the products. “The Godshall family is committed to making a very highquality product, and if you buy something and you like, you’re probably going to buy it again,” he said.

“What I Learned From My GreatGrandmother”

“My Parents and Their Inﬂuence on My Destiny”

My great-grandmother Sophie is a true inspiration to me. She is a 90-year-old sweetheart who has sacrificed in order to provide for her family since she was 12 years old. She has taught me many valuable life lessons through her unselfish living, and also by the upbringing of my grandmother and my mother. One of the most valuable lessons I have leaned from her is that “less is more”.

During my childhood, the two beings who most greatly guided me, who shaped my future, were my parents. My parents shaped my interests, my thought pattern; my parents shaped my destiny. My parents taught me so much in the 12 years of my naturalborn life that is difficult for me to recall every single life lesson my parents taught me. But, there are some guidelines that are so important to my everyday life, that it would be hard to forget. In fact, some of these lessons are impossible to forget.

I learned how my great-grandmother had to quit school at age 12 because her mom passed away during child birth. Her dad needed her to help take care of her six brothers. She sacrificed her education to raise her family. She grew up with very little, but was very content with what she had. Each time I hear her stories, I realize it is not what you have that is important, but rather what you do with what you have that really counts. A great example of how less is more was when my great- grandmother had to walk to and from her job because she could not afford an automobile. The daily walk was about six miles each way. I could never imagine walking to school every day. This is why I think she is so strong and still in good shape today. I see that my great-grandmother, grandmother, and my mother grew up without many luxuries. They are all strong, self- sufficient women. I want to grow up to be just like them. I learned from my great-grandmother especially, that the less you have, the more you grow. You do not need all the material possessions to be happy. Your happiness comes from within and how you choose to live your daily life. My great-grandmother has shared so many family stories with me about how much fun our family has had just spending time together. We are a very close family with many happy memories. Some of our best times have been just being together and repeating family stories. My great-grandmother is the center of our family. It is because of her strength and her determination that I am proud and fortunate to call her my great-grandmother. I feel that my great-grandmother taught me a very valuable lesson that I will practice for the rest of my life. Although it is not always easy to follow, I do believe the less you have the better person you turn out to be. I love her so much, and I hope I will make her as proud of me as I am of her!

Many of the lessons my parents taught me are rooted from my ancestors. One of my ancestors was — to some extent — an important figure in the struggle for India’s freedom from the British Empire. This ancestor actually went to jail with the Father of India, Mahatma Gandhi. My father uses this man’s story as an example of two of his chief ideals. My father tells me to always stand up for what I believe in. He also says to not be frightened by anyone or anything because if I didn’t do anything wrong then there would be nothing to be frightened of. My other ancestor was dismissed from his father’s house at age 15 because he asked for money. After that, my ancestor opened a business and eventually became so financially well-to-do that he would donate astronomical sums of money, remembering the less fortunate. My father uses this story to emphasize another life lesson; that lesson being to never be dependent upon anyone else. Because if the person I depend upon ever becomes unreliable, I can carry on the work myself; he taught me to be independent. He also uses this to remind me that nothing is impossible. My deceased grandfather probably made one of the largest impacts on my personality today. My grandfather was the top-most lawyer and figure in his hometown. He was the best of the best. What my father tells me about him is that he would always strive to be number one. This lesson is what my life today is made of; always strive to be number one. Finally, one of the last things my parents taught me should be taught to every politician in this area. With all the local corruption, I used to be believe that is was impossible to succeed without corruption. I realize today that I was wrong. My father has drilled into me one phrase that will stay with me forever, “Never cheat, but never be cheated.” This is achieving the best of both worlds.

The things that my parents taught me should be the ideals of all human beings today. The tales of my brilliant, powerful ancestors inspire me, and the ways they achieved their greatness inspire me even more. The sheer brilliance of all of these life lessons my parents have taught me are so intriguing that if everyone would follow these lessons, the world would be a wonderful, admirable place. It would truly be Heaven on Earth.

High School

Amber Roberts Dallas High School “What I Learned Most” My name is Amber Roberts and unlike every other child’s normal childhood growing up, mine was nothing even close to normal. I have had the craziest journeys to get to the place where I am today and I owe all of the thanks to my adoptive mother Nancy Roberts. In 2003, I was adopted by my single foster mom Nancy. I had been with her since I was five and half years old and she adopted me when I was nine. My story may seem like any other story you would hear, but mine has been truly a wonderful miracle of a child and a regular woman’s love and passion to take in, love, and treat a complete stranger as her own child. I had been in and out of foster homes pretty much all of my childhood not trusting a single person and not knowing what to call home. The last foster family I was with took me to meet Nancy, who would become my mother for good. The day is still so clear in my head, almost as if it happened yesterday, as if she was sent by god in the form of an angel to rescue me. It was a true miracle, and with the hold of a stuffed animal she got me in one arm, and her hand in my hand we set off to start a new beginning. When I first came to Nancy I couldn’t even tell the difference between love or hate, or food from water. The journey of love from Nancy and the trust she built with me had finally shown me that love and trust does exist after all. The nights I would wake up screaming and crying in fear from horrific nightmares and her comfort was her love for me. The nights I was scared to sleep in my own room and she would comfort me was her love for me. Teaching me right from wrong was her teaching me what love is all about. Without my mom as my role model, I still wouldn’t have a clue what love is. She has taught me all of things I need to know in life and as a single parent with no help. Today Nancy still continues to show and teach me new things about life and the person I am today, I owe it all to her and all the love she as shown me. My mom is truly an amazing

person. I’m now seventeen and I am a sophomore at Dallas Senior High School and continue to shoot for the stars and achieve all of my hopes and dreams.

College

Susan Wielgopoiski of Wilkes-Barre “What I Learned Most from my Parents” What I learned most in my life I learned from my mom, but I learned life lessons from my dad as well. Elizabeth was her given name, but she loathed it. She simply liked to be called “Betty.” She came from a violent, loveless home where she was never wanted. Her parents would fight with weapons using her as the pawn in the middle. She was told on a regular basis that she was never wanted and should have died before she was born. At a very young age she was thrown into a lake and told to sink or swim at which time she sank and almost drown. Her aunts gave her a strong Catholic background from which she embraced a tremendous faith and helped her gain some self worth. One would think coming from such a home would have made her a very bitter, heartless individual; however, she was anything but. She married my dad at the age of 19. I come from a family of five children of which I am the youngest. My dad worked away five days a week to support his family. He, too, was instrumental in shaping my character. He was a patriotic man with a very strong work ethic. On the softer side of him was his sense of humor, his infectious laugh and his charisma. I believe it’s from him that I get my stubbornness, my work ethic and my humor. My mom was the disciplinarian, the chef, but, most of all, the caregiver. Her voice was soft, calming and reassuring, her touch as gentle as a feather lightly brushing your skin and a laugh that was so contagious you couldn’t help but laugh as well. She was not a woman to let you know if she was sick and always reminded you that no matter how bad things seemed at that time tomorrow would somehow be better. In late 1997 early 1998, my mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She never let it slow her down; until, she finally she went to sleep in God’s arms on January 18, 2001. I couldn’t imagine how I was going to make it through each day without my best friend, my hero, my mom. In 2004, I was diagnosed with the onset of cervical cancer. Despite this news, I didn’t let it beat me because of the example my mom had set for me throughout my life. I finally realized what I had learned from this amazing woman. She taught me that patience really was a virtue, that no matter how bad things

seemed you could always find your smile, that without love and faith nothing was possible, but with both of them nothing was impossible. She taught me that you can always triumph in the face of adversity, and it’s ok to let people see the real you. I can only hope that one day I will be a quarter of the woman she was.

Adult

Verna Weiskerger of Wyoming “What I Learned Most from my Stepfather” It has been said that one of the best teachers in life is EXPERIENCE — and that is how I learned from my stepfather. Let me tell you why I say this: At the age of 47, my “dad” married a widow (my mother) with five children. (My biological father had passed away when I (the youngest) was four and one-half years old.) “Dad” and my mother were only married 14 months when she passed away; in addition to his grief, he was faced with a decision about what would happen to these children, ranging in age from eight to sixteen. Oh, there were relatives who were willing to take one or two, but certainly not all five! Knowing in his heart that my mom would want us all kept together, he decided to do just that. At the age of 48, with no previous parenting experience and at a time when most parents are looking forward to their children being on their own, he legally adopted these five orphans and raised us as a single parent on a coal-miner’s paycheck. He gave us all that he had to offer, emotionally and financially. Without this man’s selflessness, I am sure we would not have had the opportunity of education beyond high school. We may not have even known each other because we probably would have become separated. More importantly, we would not have experienced the kind of love that would take on the task of raising three teenagers, an 11-year-old and an eight-year-old. When we grew up and made our mistakes, as all young people do, he never said “I told you so.” He just always opened up his home and his heart to us, just as he did when we were children. Years down the road, “Dad” also became “Grandpa” to our 12 children! What did I learn most from my stepfather? • I learned, by example, what unconditional, real love is. • I learned, by example, the meaning of total unselfishness. • And I learned, by example, that no task is too large if you have the will to accomplish it.

Vatican symposium will help bishops combat abuse Victim advocates are skeptical, believing bishops were at fault in the scandal.

By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press

ROME — The Vatican said Saturday it is working to give bishops information on the best ways to combat clergy sex abuse, team-

ing up with the Jesuit university in Rome to host a major symposium on abuse and launch an Internet learning center for follow-up guidance. The symposium next February will draw experts in psychiatry, church law, sociology and child protection programs to the Pontifical Gregorian University for three days of meetings and workshops with 200 bishops and religious superiors.

The meetings are designed in part to help bishops draft guidelines to combat abuse that must be submitted to the Holy See by next year for review. The Gregorian will also launch a multi-lingual Internet learning center to provide church leaders with the latest in ongoing research on how to prevent abuse, train priests properly, protect children and help victims heal. Private donors have pledged

funds to maintain the database for an initial three years, officials said. Yet many victims groups have held out little hope for much change given that bishops themselves have been blamed for much of the scandal, since it was they who covered up the crimes and moved molesters around from parish to parish to abuse again rather than reporting them

to police. No bishop has ever been disciplined for failing to stop an abuser. Victims’ advocates argue that without any enforcement mechanism requiring bishops to comply with church law or their own guidelines, children will remain at risk. The Vatican’s sex crimes prosecutor Monsignor Charles Scicluna acknowledged Saturday that

bishops “come in all shapes and sizes” and the Vatican spokesman admitted some bishops’ conferences have no interest in being forced into drafting guidelines. But Scicluna told reporters that bishops would be unwise to ignore the advice of experts at the symposium and disregard the Vatican’s clear instruction to come up with adequate guidelines by next year.

being discussed. The board plans to vote on a final budget June 27. Greater Nanticoke Area, on the other hand, is making no effort to freeze Act 93 salaries, Superintendent Tony Perrone said. He noted those employees took a pay freeze last year, and that the contracted increases for next year are small – just under $14,000 total. One reason for the low total is that Perrone, who is covered by the Act 93 contract, has worked without pay since his retirement in 2003, a fact he prefers to downplay. Wilkes-Barre Area has the most Act 93 employees of all 11 districts – 41, with total wages this year at $3.4 million. The district has been criticized for years for being administrator-heavy, but Superintendent Jeff Namey –

who has a contract separate from Act 93 employees – counters that he eliminated 17 positions in the past 15 years. Namey also noted the district has two “tiers” of Act 93 employees. Tier I covers top administrators such as principals and assistant principals, who have salaries ranging from about $90,000 to $100,000. Another 20 people are in Tier II, which includes deans of students and program coordinators, most them earning salaries comparable to teachers, ranging form $55,000 to $80,000. The district deliberately decided to move more people under Act 93 in recent years who had previously had separate contracts. Namey also noted the district expects to eliminate two or three Act 93 positions this year by not filling slots following the retirement of the current employees. Wilkes-Barre Area is also the only local district with three high schools rather than one, which multiplies the number of administrators dramatically. The district is studying the possibility of closing at least one of those schools in a few years. The district’s Act 93 contract expired this year and Namey said employees have agreed to a wage freeze. Teachers rejected a freeze, but have made multiple proposals for saving money, including floating the idea of switching to a four-day school week with longer hours per day, saving on heating, lighting and transportation costs.

million, that move is expected to save about $750,000 in 2011-12. By comparison, Hazleton Area has 30 Act 93 employees paid $2.7 million this year who are subject to a two-year wage freeze. The Act 93 contract expires this summer so there is no specific amount being saved, but if you assume they would have received a 2 percent raise, the freeze would only save about $55,000. Crestwood, on the other hand, went beyond a pay freeze when the board negotiated a new Act 93 contract this year. The fouryear deal freezes wages for two years, then ties raises to the state “Act 1” index (not to exceed a maximum amount). The Act 1 index is an annual limit on how much a district can raise taxes without voter approval or state

exemptions. The limit varies from year to year and district to district, but is expected to be at or below 1 percent next year. Crestwood’s new contract also requires administrators to pay an increasing percentage of their health insurance premiums: 3 percent next year, rising to 5, 7 and 10 percent each succeeding year. Board member Mancini also noted the superintendent – not covered by the Act 93 contract – has agreed to pay 15 percent of the premium. In Pittston Area, where inclusion of the superintendent and security staff boosts the number of Act 93 employees higher than most other districts, the current contract calls for raises totaling almost $50,000. Superintendent George Cosgrove said a freeze is

“ The Road back...to the The Back Mountain” R.D. Clements Dentistry in Dallas is pleased to welcome Dr. Duane R. Sprau as the new associate to their staff. When Duane Sprau was 5 years old living on Church Street in Dallas, his family switched dentists and became patients of Dr. Bob Clements. He remembers that after that switch, his family thought going to the dentist was actually fun. A soccer player for Dallas High School with a proclivity for the sciences , Duane went off to Penn State Main Campus. But instead of studying the sciences, he went on to study finance. As it turned out, the sciences were really his love. After receiving a B.S in Finance, he re-enrolled at Penn State to fulfill science credits needed for dental school. In May of 2010, Duane obtained his Doctorate in Dental Medicine at the Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry. And now he’s back. Back to his home, The Back Mountain, and back practicing where “going to the dentist is actually fun.” Dr. Sprau will be accepting new patients on July 1. WELCOME DR. DUANE R. SPRAU

rhythm of a drummer, or at least that’s the idea. “Being in a kayak, you’re alone, or being in a canoe, that’s one thing,” said Susan Turcmanovich, of Scranton, a member of Pennsylvania American Water’s dragon boat team, “but to be in there with 21 people trying to stay together is a whole different thing.” Today, six teams from area businesses, including The Times Leader, and teams from the city of Wilkes-Barre and Luzerne County will race the dragon boats. Each team will race three times from the Market Street Bridge to the Veterans Memorial Bridge, with prizes awarded for the fastest overall time, bestdressed drummer and best team spirit. The races will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today, but RiverFest organizers said that’s just a taste of things to come.

Colorful dragon boats like this one will race between the Market Street and Veterans Memorial bridges today.

In September 2012, the Riverfront Parks Committee and River Common hope to host a separate dragon boat festival, complete with a dragon-boat regatta. “Pittsburgh has a dragon boat festival, Philadelphia has a dragon boat festival, and now Wilkes-Barre will have a dragon boat festival too,” said John Maday, a member of the Riverfront

Parks Committee Board of Directors and a RiverFest coordinator. Maday said he brought the dragon boats to RiverFest this year as a preview, to create interest among local businesses in the hopes of gaining sponsorships for the event next year. He said things Saturday were going as smoothly as they could for a first time, and even the

ric McCabe is the branch manager of the McCabe Mortgage Group in Kingston. McCabe, 39, is a graduate of Lake-Lehman High School and King’s College, where he received a bachelor’s degree in finance. He is also a graduate of Leadership Wilkes-Barre. He and his wife, Ann, have six children: Andrew, 19, Abbey, 12, James, 8, Katherine, 5, Maggie, 4, and Will, 3. They live in Shavertown.

With a degree in finance, you had many options. Why a career in home finance? “I got a lot of direction from my father, who is a local real estate professional. I was always a numbers guy, which is why I chose finance as a profession. He was always a real estate guy, and I really looked to him a lot for guidance upon my graduation. At his encouragement, I actually sold real estate during college. I got my real estate license when I was 18 and had worked in the field for a few years, and to me it just seemed like a perfect marriage.” What is it about the work that you enjoy most? “It’s the people. We do all types of loans for all types of people, but the thing I get the most satisfaction from, day to day, is working with first-time home buyers. They come to you and they’re nervous, they’re apprehensive and they’re confused. In a lot of ways, we kind of feel like a matchmaker and a problem solver. I really enjoy taking young couples through that process.” What do you do to relax? “The number one getaway for me is golf. Golf with friends. Golf

with family. That’s my time away in the outdoors. I also enjoy running, swimming and biking.” Hobbies? “Raising children.” Music? “Everything from James Taylor and Frank Sinatra to AC/DC. My favorite band of all-time is Motley Crue.” Sports? “I bleed green. I love the Philadelphia Eagles.” Favorite city? “Philadelphia, closely followed by New York.” Favorite vacation spot? “Ocean City, Maryland. We’ve been going there for many, many years as a family. Great golf, great relaxation, great food and great beaches.” Favorite food? “Italian. Veal Parmesan.” Always in the fridge? “Cold beer of any flavor and Turkey Hill ice cream.” First car? “1983 yellow Subaru hatchback.” Favorite TV show? “The O’Reilly Factor.” Favorite movie? “I love slapstick and most Adam Sandler movies. And my favorite movie of all-time is ‘Caddyshack.’” Favorite book? “Almost everything I read is self-help and self-improvement. Aside from that, the last book I read was ‘Pinheads and Patriots’ by Bill O’Reilly.”

Proudest professional moment? “I started in this business when I was 21 and have been in it for 18 years. Four years into the business, I received my first nationally recognized award for excellence in the industry. It was an event held down in Naples, Florida, and it was in front of a lot of industry veterans, many of whom were my parent’s age. It was a very humbling experience.” Your reputation in the community seems to bring you a lot of word-ofmouth clients. Why do you think that is? “I don’t know, but I will say it’s why I love working here in this area. It’s why I will spend the rest of my life here. I don’t have any ambitions to leave as I get older and retire to a golf course in South Carolina. That doesn’t interest me. I love the tight-knit fabric that we all live in, and so my business philosophy has always been ‘Treat Joe as well as I treat Jim and treated Jim’s mother and Jim’s cousin.’ Eighteen years in the industry, and we’re a little over 5,000 families that we’ve helped. In a relatively small area, the word will get around when you’re honest and you do a decent job.” Alan Stout writes about local people. Reach him at 970-7131.

’ve read that in some old historicepic movie there’s a scene in which a Roman legionnaire going into battle is seen wearing a wristwatch. I personally did see a movie, set in 1945, in which a 1955 Chevrolet is parked right in front of a building. Well, I guess even a well-paid Hollywood production crew can get caught napping. So, you folks out on the West Coast, out of my never-wavering determination to make sure you get everything historically correct, here is what you should know to re-create summer in America of the 1950s. In the opening scene where the family is driving across town, I trust you’ll get the bulbous car right, but please make sure the stop signs they encounter are yellow with black letters – not today’s red-and-white. If they encounter a traffic light, there’s a good chance it will be atop a pole in the middle of an intersection, not swinging from a long metal arm. When they stop for gasoline, don’t have somebody jump out with credit card in hand. Have them sit tight while two or more men in natty uniforms dash forth and pump it for them, as well as clean the windshield and check the tires’ air pressure. Why not? Dad’s paying 25 cents a gallon. Incidentally, if the trip is to Scranton or beyond, they probably won’t be driving. They’ll go by train, perhaps Laurel Line with its electric cars. Look, the older daughter is at home, sighing and waiting for a letter from her faraway love. The morning delivery brings nothing, but all is not lost. In those days, urban areas such as Wyoming Valley got two (that’s right – TWO) mail deliveries every weekday, one by noon and the other by 4 p.m. Voila – the letter. She replies by rushing down to the corner (only millionaires called long-distance) to drop an envelope into a little olive-green mailbox fastened to a utility pole. Younger kids aren’t distracted by love affairs; they’re too busy playing. Their toys are simple and generic, because the $79.95 gizmo that’s themed to a movie hasn’t been invented yet. “Army” is a popular game, played with gas masks, canteens, khaki blankets, bandoliers, service caps and wooden training rifles the dads, uncles and older brothers lugged home from World War II. While you’re battling America’s enemies, your mom is trekking down the block to the neighborhood grocery store for dinner fixings. Yes, you could buy pork chops right in your neighborhood (chosen yourself from your grocer’s display case) and then pay the food bill at the end of the week, 10-cent “Archie” or “Vault of Horror” comic books not included. With the sun getting lower in the sky, a deathly silence falls. No, it’s not a religious holiday, but it might as well be. It’s 7:30 p.m. on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday, and suddenly the stillness is shattered by a hearty “Hi-yo Silver” from all the living rooms on the street. The Lone Ranger rides the airwaves again, and only a communist sympathizer would not want to hear the Cheerios promotion for the secret decoder ring. Wow! Dad says he’s taking everyone out to the movies. He must have gotten that raise because it’s going to set him back about a dollar to get a family of five in to see “Pirates of Zanzibar” or “Attack from Mars” at the Hart/Sterling/Grand/Roman or whatever the theater in your neighborhood was called. I expect we’ll all be so excited we won’t even notice if a pirate is wearing a wristwatch. Tom Mooney is a Times Leader columnist. Reach him at tmooney2@ptd.net.

The family says Rebecca Minerd (1850-1915) had a love affair with Capt. Thomas Ward Custer, brother of Gen. George Armstrong Custer, that produced a son when they were neighbors in Wood County, Ohio. Both Custer brothers died in the Battle of Little Big Horn. The family included an actor who made films with some of Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top stars, a writer who published prize-winning fiction and a guidance systems engineer in the Apollo rocket program. The clan produced two Connellsville mayors, a Major League Baseball pitcher and a pastor. The familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website includes the biographies of 1,332 family

ANCESTRY members. The site drew more than 1.7 million visitors since its launch on May 7, 2000, including 266,552 the past year. “Most people trace their families looking in reverse. This site helps people watch time elapse in a forward fashion,” said Mark Miner, 49, of Beaver, who has organized the family’s reunions since 1995 and runs its website, www.minerd.com. Miner is hoping to attract 130 to 140 of his “cousins” to this year’s reunion. The count of descendants numbers in the thousands, said Miner, whose last name’s spelling is one of at least five offshoots of Minerd. “These people were not edu-

cated,” he said. “The spelling probably didn’t matter until Social Security and the IRS came along.” Family members worked in education, the military or on railroads, farms and in manufacturing plants. At least 330 of them mined coal and made coke and steel. Fourteen men from the clan were killed in workplace accidents between 1884 and 1941. Thirty people from the family died in fatal railroad and streetcar accidents. Since 2000, 753 members of the clan have died.

Contorting nature Skip Sensbach of Lehman Township also draws much of his inspiration from the area, albeit in a more abstract fashion. Sensbach refers to some of his clay sculptures as “genetically-modified organisms” because they were inspired by “the clash between our agricultural base and our manufacturing base.” He also draws inspiration from the functional pottery he produces at his home studio, he said, as he pointed out a pattern of intersecting rectangles on recently completed sushi plates stacked in front his kiln, which is repeated in a sculpture standing in his backyard. “I view both as being artistic, whether it’s functional or not,” he said. “It really depends on my mood. I’ll go through long stretches where I just want to throw mugs and bowls, and it will inspire something.” But in creating “Notch,” the

Pottery and sculpture artist Skip Sensbach stands near one of his kilns he uses to fire pottery at his home in Lehman Twp. Sensbach is a finalist for the 44th annual state art exhibition in Harrisburg.

Sculptures created by pottery and sculpture artist Skip Sensbach.

2010 sculpture selected for this summer’s state exhibition, Sensbach drew from more personal experience. Three years ago, Sensbach’s father Gene became seriously ill and needed a kidney transplant. Skip’s blood type meant he could donate one of his kidneys, and in November 2007 he traveled to Naples, Fla. for the transplant operation. His father is alive and well today. “Notch” joins two unglazed clay triangles, one with a notch in its side, together with a 12-foot beam of unfinished wood in a gravity-defying manner. The artist said it was inspired by the separate elements – his kidney, his father’s body, a team of surgeons and nurses – that came together to save his father’s life. “It’s all about them interconnecting together to make a whole,” he said. This year is the first time one of Sensbach’s works was accepted into the state show, though he applied once before two years ago. He said he was thrilled to

learn he had made the show, and “thought it was even better when I went down to Harrisburg and saw it.” “You walk through the doors and it’s like ‘boom,’ right in the middle of the room,” he said. Sensbach began making pottery and clay sculptures about 15 years ago, not long after moving to the area from New Jersey, and has focused increasingly on sculpture since graduating from Marywood University with a Master of Fine Arts degree in 2010. He ran a teaching studio, Green Dog Pottery, in Dallas from 2005 until around the time of his surgery, and is now an adjunct professor of art at Marywood. In the fall, he will also work as an adjunct professor in Misericordia’s new pottery program, which will offer credit-bearing and community classes. Sensbach lives with his wife Kirsten and son Ethan, 12, in Lehman Township.

Backyard beauty “Suburban Rhythms,” by Nina Davidowitz of Kingston, is one of two works by Luzerne County artists included in the show. The painting is from a series Davidowitz began in 2000 titled Suburban Landscapes, which captures impressionistic glances of houses, backyards and everyday landscapes in acrylics, pencil and collage, with a focus on the interplays of light and shadow and of nature and the manmade world. “I love it when people look at my paintings and say, I know where that is,” Davidowitz said. “My scenes are very, very familiar; they’re very Northeast PA.” The Kingston native said she was inspired to create the series after taking an extended vacation out of the area, spending a month in Italy. “Italy is so dusty, and everything is made of stone,” she said. “When I got home, it was so green here. I thought I should just do paintings of what I see everyday.” She now seeks inspiration locally, on walks around her neighborhood and wherever she may roam. She snaps photos with a camera, frequently the one in her cell phone, to work from later. Verdant hues seem to leap from the canvas in “Suburban Rhythms,” which depicts the rear of a row of cookie-cutter white houses bisected by a row of green and yellow forsythia bushes in bloom and crowned by an enormous tree. “The scene is a scene I’ve painted over and over again; it’s my old backyard in Kingston,” Davidowitz said. “It’s very, very bright and happy. My other name for it is ‘The Glory of Spring,’ because it’s just bursting with green.” The 38-inch square painting from 2009 is one of the largest she has done, and took about 6 weeks to finish. Davidowitz, 52, has been pursuing art full-time for five years, though she has been a professional artist for more than 25 years. Though she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Marywood University in 2004, Davidowitz did not earn her undergraduate degree from an art school, and said she is largely self-taught. “I’ve just kept at it,” she said. “My uncle once told me you can tell the quality of an artist by looking in his trash bin. The key is, you just have to do lots and lots of work, and some of it will end up being really good.” Her love of art seems to have inspired her children, she said. Her son Max graduated in May from the Art Institute of Chicago, and her daughter Amanda works in New York for a nonprofit that provides grants to community-theater groups around the country. Davidowitz is married to Jack Weinberg of Kingston.

Eastern Pa. quadruplets marching off to military Mother Kim Pollock

Kim, who works in the county’s 9-1-1- emergency call center. “But I am very proud of them, and I support their decision.” The Pollocks’ oldest son, Anthony “A.J.”, 21, is a junior studying digital film and video production at the New England Art Institute, Boston. The Pollocks said Erin decided to enlist and then convinced her siblings to do likewise. “Stephanie’s decision was

the one that shocked us,” said Jim, a Muhlenberg Township police detective. Unlike Erin, the self-described tomboy, Stephanie is “more of the girl-girl type and serious student,” Jim said. “The thing is, even though they can fight and argue, my children have always done things together ever since they were born,” Kim said. For the young Pollocks, their motivation to serve is rooted in a public-service ori-

ented family with jobs in police, firefighting and emergency service fields. Their grandparents also served, in the Air Force and Navy. The practical considerations of needing to learn a skill and earning money for a college education helped turn the tide in favor of the military. Erin with the 328th Support Battalion, Lebanon, leaves for basic training at Fort Jackson, S. C., on July 19, and then to become a culinary specialist. Stephanie and Brandon, with the 2nd Squadron 104th Cavalry Unit, Reading, leave for basic at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., Oct. 4, and will study automated logistics and inventory control. William’s assignment is pending the military entrance

exam. Waid said the Pollocks’ sixyear military obligation involves service one weekend each month and two weeks in the summer. They will each receive $15,000 yearly for college expenses. “As soon as they become soldiers they are eligible for deployment,” said Waid, who was in the Army for four years and the Pennsylvania Nation-

al Guard for 16. “Service to the country leads the list of reasons of those who enlist, but very close behind are the educational incentives.” Three of the quads have college ambitions, Stephanie, nursing; Erin, liberal arts with a culinary arts bent; and William, military/police work. Brandon said he might like becoming a camp counselor.

READING, Pa. — It’s as if a golfing Uncle Sam yelled, “Fore!” and Berks County’s 18year-old Pollock quadruplets heard a number and dutifully answered the call. Graduating from Wilson High School last week, Erin, Stephanie, Brandon and William, Berks’ first quads, born Aug. 6, 1992, to Jim, now 46, and Kim, now 44, of Spring Township, will be donning Pennsylvania Army National Guard uniforms. “Three of the four had their first drills this month,” said Sgt. 1st Class James E. Waid, 39, of Fleetwood, their recruiting officer. “I’ve already started crying because they will always be my babies. I’m a mother,” said

“The thing is, even though they can fight and argue, my children have always done things together ever since they were born.”

RORY RUNS AWAY

McIlroy holds 8-stroke lead over Yang

Time hasn’t taken away his drive to the top

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

MOOSIC – When Greg Smith retired Ezequiel Carrera to begin Saturday’s game, that was a good omen for Scranton/WilkesBarre. That marked just the second time in the last 11 games at PNC Field that a Yankees pitcher got YANKEES an out on the first batter of the game. The veteran CLIPPERS left-hander’s strong performance was just beginning. The journeyman who has pitched in the big leagues with the A’s and Rockies before being released by Colorado earlier this year, got every batter he faced except three in seven innings to help Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to a 4-0 victory over Columbus. The Clippers, the International League’s top team at 46-23, had their 10-game winning streak snapped.

Led by Greg Smith’s seven shutout innings, SWB stops Columbus win streak at 10.

HERSHEY – Ohio’s defensive dominance resulted in three straight possessions inside Pennsylvania territory to start Saturday night’s 54th annual Big 33 Football Classic and another before the first half was over. When that was not enough to break the Campenni game open, the Ohio defense took things one step further. Doran Grant went from end zone to end zone on a 101-yard interception return in the final two minutes of the first half for the game-breaking touchdown that helped Ohio hand Pennsylvania its worst loss in the game’s history with a 50-14 rout.

14-under 199 establishes 54-hole record

TV Coverage

BETHESDA, Md. — Rory McIlroy kept punishing the golf course and the record book Saturday, setting himself up with an eight-shot lead at the U.S. Open with 18 holes left between him and his first major championship. In a third round that felt more like a regular day on tour than the toughest test in golf, McIlroy shot 3-under-par 68 to finish at 14-under 199, breaking Jim Furyk’s record for the best 54-hole score by one stroke. McIlroy leads Y.E. Yang (70) by eight and Lee Westwood (65), Jason Day (65) and Robert Garrigus (68) by nine.

softy of a course thanks to forgiving rough and rain-soaked greens. There were 26 rounds under par, a record for the third round of the U.S. Open, and the 72 players carded a total of 224 birdies. Could’ve been a scary scene for McIlroy, who saw the mid-60s on the board before he ever reached the first tee box, but he didn’t waver. He played scrambling golf over the first few holes, while he was having trouble finding the fairway, then made birdies on No. 5, 9, 11 and 14 to get to 14-under, a number never seen before on a U.S. Open

The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland will sleep on the lead heading into the final day of a major for the second straight time. But this lead is double the size of the one he held at the Masters two months ago, when he blew up on the back nine, shot 80 and finished 15th. “Overall, I’m very happy with the way I played today,” McIlroy said. “Now, I just have to do that for 18 more holes.” Knowing their chances were slim to catch the leader, the rest of the field took its frustration out on Congressional, a See OPEN, Page 4C

Association, instructed almost 30 wrestlers for two hours at the second annual Eagles’ Way Wrestling Camp at LakeLehman High School. Watching over local wrestlers aspiring to be the next national champion or gold-medal Olympian, Cody provided techniques and words of motivation. “To do this (collegiate wrestling) you have to have discipline outside of the wrestling room,” Cody said. “Make it a rule to do something every day to make yourself better as a competitor.”

LEHMAN TWP. – Standing in front of a group of exhausted wrestlers late Wednesday afternoon, University of Oklahoma head coach Mark Cody offered his young audience two tips to follow if they desired future success in the sport. “Don’t let anyone make you do something you don’t want to do,” said Cody. “Losers love other losers. Live your life like a warrior.” The former American University coach, and 2011Coach of the Year as voted by the National Wrestling Coaching See CLINIC , Page 7C

e was already on his way to NASCAR’s Hall of Fame, because anyone with more than 70 career wins seems to get an automatic ticket in. Now it’s time to write Jeff Gordon’s name into the top spot of NASCAR’s all-time greatest drivers. That stirring run Gordon put together to win the 5-Hour Energy 500 at Pocono Raceway last weekend was his second victory of an up-and-down season for him, and 84th of his brilliant driving career. He will pass Darrell Waltrip and Bobby Allison with his next victory, and move into sole possession of third place on the list of his sport’s all-time winningest drivers. If he stays on track for another 10 years, Gordon – who will turn 40 during the week leading up to the Aug. 7 race at Pocono – has a shot at David Pearson’s 105 career wins for second place on the all-time list. “I feel like I still have a lot to offer in the car,” Gordon said after winning at Pocono last Sunday. He’ll never catch Richard Petty for the lead at 200 victories. And Jimmie Johnson, who’s won the last five NASCAR championships, is the best bet to catch Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt for the most season titles with seven. But Petty became known as the king of the track in an era without restrictor plates, scrupulous car modifications and rules that seem to change by the lap. Johnson’s put together his eye-popping run during the last six years. Gordon’s been better for longer. Than both of them. Ironically, his first NASCAR race was the last one for Petty, down in Atlanta in 1992. Since then, Gordon has been a factor on the track through three decades. He won three series Cup titles in four years in the 1990s. “He’s Jeff Gordon and he’s that good,” fellow driver Kurt Busch said. “When I came in as a rookie, I set the bar to try and compete with him. It’s impressive to see what he’s done over his career. Not just this decade, not just in the 2000s, but back into the ’90s.” Gordon captured has last series title in 2001, but he finished among the top four in series points five more times during that decade. “We were living at the peak of the mountain there for a number of years,” Gordon said. Everyone thought he fell off hard when Gordon didn’t win a single race last year, giving him two winless seasons in three years. “To me, the people the media talk about and the fans talk about are doing it on a consistent basis,” Gordon said. “When we were doing that, people looked at us. We just haven’t put the numbers together (lately). So I don’t expect anybody to look at us as a real threat.” They’re looking at Gordon a little differently these days. He will start in the back of the pack for today’s Helluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 at Michigan International Speedway. And Gordon hasn’t finished within the top 20 four times in his 13 races this season. He still has those two victories, which have him on the verge of cracking the 10 drivers who get an automatic berth into the season-ending Race for the Chase series. “These days, you just never know when it’s going to be your last win and when your next one is coming,” Gordon said. Chances are, another trip to Victory Lane is coming soon for him. After spending a whole racing lifetime there, guys like Gordon don’t forget how to win.

PHILLIES IN MINORS

Hot prospect has struggles in A-ball

Round-27 draft pick has turned into one of N.Y.’s top prospects

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

Jonathan Singleton: The Phillies top hitting prospect, now that Domonic Brown is in the big leagues, the 20-year-old started the season playing in the outfield after a productive season last year at first base. The lefty struggled at the plate so he was moved back to first base playing for Class-A Clearwater. For the Threshers, he’s hitting .247 with three homers and 21 RBI in 56 games. Brody Colvin: The team’s top pitching prospect had a rough outing his last time out, allowing five runs in five innings against Dunedin, but he didn’t get hit with a loss. Overall this season for Clearwater, he’s tossed 38 1⁄3 innings with an 0-2 mark and a 4.70 ERA. The 21-year-old righthander has fanned 31 strikeouts and walked just 17. Jesse Biddle: The Phillies’ No. 1 pick from 2010 pitched well enough to win earlier in the week against Hagerstown for Low-A Lakewood, but took a no-decision. He gave up two runs in six innings and struck out nine for the BlueClaws. The 19-year-old lefty is 3-6 with a 4.03 ERA for the BlueClaws, with 60 strikeouts in 67 innings. Phillippe Aumont: One of the three players acquired by the Phillies in the Cliff Lee deal in December 2009, he’s a former first-round pick by the Mariners (11th overall) in 2007. The 6-foot-7, 255-pound righty has pitched out of the bullpen for Reading this season and was called up to Triple-A earlier this week. For the RPhils, he was 1-5 with four saves and a 2.32 ERA in 25 appearances. He has yet to appear in a game for Lehigh Valley.

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

SWB infielder Brandon Laird has come a long way since being drafted in round 27 in 2007. After starring in the Double-A Eastern League last year, Laird has become a regular in the middle of the Triple-A Yankees batting order.

Laird beating the odds By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

The MLB amateur draft concluded nearly two weeks ago. Most of the highly regarded players taken were picked during the first two days of the three-day event. When Brandon Laird was drafted by the Yankees in 2007, he was picked in the 27th round, which would have been on Day 3 of the recent draft. Statistics have shown that not many of the prospects selected from the 25th round or later make it to the big leagues; in fact, many of the players who go that late in the draft never even sign. Laird is beating those odds and could turn out to be the steal of that draft. “The Yankees just took a chance on me and I wasn’t really asking for a lot of money. I knew what I was worth,” Laird said. “So I just got the negotiating right and I got my career started and talked to my brother, who gave me a lot of advice.” The corner infielder busted onto the scene last year with Double-A Trenton, blasting 23 home runs and driving in 90 runs to claim Eastern League MVP and Rookie of the Year honors. Those numbers vaulted Laird to No. 10 on the Yankees top prospect list to begin the season, according to Baseball America. The 23-year-old got a chance in Triple-A late last year and started this season slowly for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as he hit .184 in April. He showed his potential by batting .307 in May and now is regularly penciled into manager Dave Miley’s lineup in the

opted not to sign so he could continue to progress in school. That summer, he played on USA baseball’s Junior National Team. A few years later, he was picked by the Yankees out of Cypress (Calif.) Community College and now appears to be on the path to the majors. One thing stopping the right-handed hitter from advancing to New York is that the corner infield positions are currently locked up with Alex Rodriguez at third and Brandon Laird 10th-rated prospect in Yankees organization Mark Teixeira at first. But the Yankees brass like Laird enough that they protected him from last year’s Rule V draft and added him to the 40-man middle of the order. roster. “It’s just been adjustments and I think That move resulted in the organization this year I’m trying to get it and feel more sending the prospect to the Arizona Fall comfortable, and hopefully I can get it League last fall to get acclimated to playing going,” Laird said. the outfield. Brandon’s brother is Gerald Laird, a big Laird played left field in the fall, but with league backup catcher for St. Louis, who has also played in the majors for Texas and a crowded outfield for Scranton/WilkesBarre, Laird has only played in the outfield Detroit. Growing up, Laird followed in his broth- for a handful of innings in Triple-A. But he’s ready to play there when called er’s footsteps attending the same high upon. school, La Quinta, a program in California “I feel comfortable out there.

As long as After high school in 2005, Laird was drafted by Cleveland in the 27th round, but I’m on the field, I’m happy.”

Gary Sanchez: The catcher, who is rated the No. 2 overall prospect, just behind Scranton/Wilkes-Barre catcher Jesus Montero is playing for Single-A Charleston. Sanchez is touted by many as the organization’s best hitting prospect. Since returning to the RiverDogs after being suspended by the team for a couple weeks because of “attitude problems,’’ he has got a hit in seven of eight games going 11-for-29 in that period. He has raised his average to .255 with five home runs and 24 RBI in 43 games. Austin Romine: Another catcher and the No. 6 overall prospect for the Yankees, the 22-year-old is having a solid season at Double-A Trenton. Unfortunately, he’s been shelved with a concussion since June 2 after a collision at home. Before the injury, he was hot in his last 10 games for the Thunder hitting .375. Overall his average is .298 with four home runs and 31 RBI in 178 at-bats. Dellin Betances: The No. 3 overall prospect for the Yankees and the top pitching prospect, Betances was hit with a tough loss earlier in the week when he only gave up one earned run in five innings against Harrisburg for Double-A Trenton. The 6-foot-8, 260-pound right-hander’s ERA rose from 1.75 to 1.76 in the outing. For the season for the Thunder, he’s 3-2 with 66 punch-outs in and only 37 hits allowed in 56 1 ⁄3 innings. Manny Banuelos: The No. 2 pitching prospect in the organization and the No. 4 overall prospect for the Yankees, Banuelos pitched twice in the last seven days and went 0-1 allowing a total of five runs for Double-A Trenton. All of those runs came in a loss to Binghamton when he allowed them in three innings. The 20-year-old right-hander is 2-0 this year with an ERA of 2.88, with 53 strikeouts in 56 1⁄3 innings.

On This Date Before 1993, the Red Barons struggled when they played in Toledo, winning just 10 times in five years. On June 19, 1993, Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre broke that slump in a big way, defeating the Mud Hens 21-4 and hitting .500 in the game (26-for-52). The Barons also scored what was a team record at the time of nine runs in one inning. However, the record ninerun frame only stood for about two months when the team busted out for 12 runs in an August game later that season. The total runs in a game mark stood until 26 were scored in 1998 and the teammark of 27 hits was also recorded in that game, which also took place at Toledo.

Seeing red with record 26 rounds under par By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer

BETHESDA, Md. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rory McIlroy isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only golfer having his way with the Blue Course at the U.S. Open. See the 65s from Jason Day and Lee Westwood? And the 66s from Webb Simpson and Fredrik Jacobson? Count â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em: a record-setting 26 rounds under par on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a little disappointed with the golf course the last couple of days. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as firm and fast as I would like to have seen it,â&#x20AC;? said defending champion Graeme McDowell, whose red-number contribution was a 69 that put him at even par going into today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greens are soaking wet, and so are the fairways. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target golf. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really a U.S. Open.â&#x20AC;? The previous record for subpar rounds in the third round of a U.S. Open was 24, set at Medinah in 1990. Congressional could produce scores like this back when the Kemper was played here and no one would blink, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now supposed to be rigged up for the toughest test in golf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can take advantage of it and go for more flags than you can in a U.S. Open,â&#x20AC;? said Jacobson, who birdied 10 of 15 holes with nary a bogey during a stretch that began late in the second round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing red numbers. It is what it is. If it rains a bit, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to try and make the most out of it.â&#x20AC;? The U.S. Golf Association spent years planning for this weekend. All the greens were rebuilt. Tee boxes were moved back so far that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re nearly bisecting other fairways, making it often confusing to figure out which hole is next without the aid of a map or a directional sign. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whopping 7,574 yards from start to finish if all the back tees are used. But last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stifling temperatures and humidity sent

the heat index into triple-digit territory, stunting the growth of the rough, wilting the fairways and greens and putting the USGA behind in its preparations. The rain finally started falling on Thursday after play was under way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; literally a gift from the heavens for anyone who likes their golf in the 60s. Those not shooting in the red are faulting themselves for leaving strokes on the course. World No. 1 Luke Donald said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shot a couple under quite easilyâ&#x20AC;? if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d only made a few putts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rough isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as gnarly as at some other U.S. Opens,â&#x20AC;? Donald said after his third-round 74. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has that different feel. It almost feels like the Firestone or something. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still tough out there, some tough pins, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to play well to shoot a good score.â&#x20AC;? Phil Mickelson was also among those looking for a tougher challenge, even though he appeared to be challenged quite sufficiently in his round of 77. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be really fun to see had we not had the rain,â&#x20AC;? Mickelson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a fair setup that it could accommodate fair conditions that they were anticipating. But, really, the course itself is very fair and leads itself to good scores if you play well and high scores if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, which I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you could ask for anything more.â&#x20AC;? Westwood certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pining for a harder course after his three straight birdies on the back nine Saturday. For him, all that red on the leaderboard is a refreshing U.S. Open change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, nice to see. They set the golf course up great,â&#x20AC;? Westwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You play well, you shoot good scores. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no tricks to this one. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fair, honest course.â&#x20AC;?

paycheck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to splurge a little bit here,â&#x20AC;? said Hadwin, whose Saturday evening plans included a trip into Washington, D.C., to see the sights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my first Open, and so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to treat myself well and enjoy, and obviously making the cut helps.â&#x20AC;? The birdie came with another, more important payoff. Hadwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother was recently hospitalized with Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, so the two of them created a campaign to solicit pledges for every birdie Hadwin makes at the championship. After making the cut, Hadwin showered, ate breakfast, then teed off in the third round with the first group at 10 a.m. He shot a 73 despite the quick turnaround and snagged three more birdies, giving him nine for the tournament and a total of about $10,000 raised for his cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just going to be about having fun and making birdies,â&#x20AC;? he said. NO. 1, BUT NOT HIS AGAME: Luke Donaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach at No. 15 landed on a nasty steep slope next to the green. He made a nice recovery, chipping near the pin for a short putt for par. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been that kind of week at the U.S. Open for the No. 1 player

in the world. Good and bad. Enough bad that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7 over after three rounds, well out of contention and certain to leave without that elusive first major title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a mixture of everything, really,â&#x20AC;? Donald said after his round of 74 Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t driven it well enough, obviously that puts pressure on your irons. And today I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make enough putts and couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shot a couple under quite easily if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d made a few putts.

scoreboard. Of course, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old news by now. On Friday, McIlroy reached13 under for the first time in U.S. Open history and took a record-tying six-stroke cushion into the weekend. His eight-shot advantage is two short of the lead Tiger Woods took to today at Pebble Beach in 2000, when he routed the field by 15 shots. Though McIlroy and his performance during a near-perfect week of golf are drawing comparisons to Woods, he wants no part of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still looking for my first one,â&#x20AC;? McIlroy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all I can say. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking for my first one. I put myself in good position to do it tomorrow and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what happens.â&#x20AC;? The way heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing, and with a cushion as soft as the golf course heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overrunning, it would take something of epic proportions to prevent it. The biggest final-day lead ever surrendered at a major was six strokes, when Greg Norman lost to Nick Faldo at the1996 Masters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you go in 12 behind somebody, you can play as well as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to play but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still going to be a matter of the leader coming back to you,â&#x20AC;? Westwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No use thinking about what Roryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played with big leads in the past. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what happens.â&#x20AC;? Yang will be paired with McIlroy for the second straight day. He came into the third round six shots behind and had the best chance to apply pressure. But he moved backward, not closer, and he was sensing the inevitable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try and catch up with Rory as much as possible, as much as I can,â&#x20AC;? Yang said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let go, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a race for second place. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m playing some good golf right now, actually.â&#x20AC;? Not good enough. And if he felt any glimmer of hope when McIlroy made his single bogey of the day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on No. 10, after hitting tee shot into a back bunker â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was gone in a flash. McIlroy answered by hitting an approach shot from the rough to

where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not quite firing.â&#x20AC;? He certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to blame the course. In fact, he said Congressional was playing more like a stop on the PGA Tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rough isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as gnarly as at some other U.S. Opens,â&#x20AC;? said Donald, adding that the greens were also soft because of the rain on Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has that different feel. It almost feels like the Firestone or something. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still tough out there, some tough pins, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to play well to shoot a good score.â&#x20AC;?

Y. E. Yang hits out of the sand to the second green at the U.S. Open. Yang is in second place, eight shots behind Rory McIlroy.

18 feet on No. 11, then sinking the putt and pumping his fist as he walked to grab the ball from the hole. That put him back at 13-under par. On14, he hit his approach to 6 feet and made that. On the front side, McIlroy wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nearly as locked in early Saturdayashewasduringthefirst two rounds, when he set the 36hole U.S. Open scoring record at 11-under 131. He missed fairways on 1, 3, 8 and 9 on the front side and pushed his approach into a greenside bunker on No. 4. But he made par or better on all those holes and his lead â&#x20AC;&#x201D; six shots at the beginning of the day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; never shrank. The tone for the day and the course was set early, when Webb Simpson shot 5-under 66 to move to 1 under. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The golf course is pretty soft. The greens are soft,â&#x20AC;? said Simpson, who made seven birdies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got a couple good lies in the rough

today that I probably didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve. I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see some pretty good scores like mine, and some pretty high scores, too.â&#x20AC;? The USGA prides itself on setting up the toughest courses on the planet. But Congressional hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lived up to that reputation. All the players knew it, even the ones who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rough isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as gnarly as at some other U.S. Opens,â&#x20AC;? world No. 1 Luke Donald said after shooting 3-over 74. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a different feel. It almost feels like the Firestone or something. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still tough out there. Some tough pins and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to play well to shoot a good score.â&#x20AC;? Day was among those with the good scores. The 23-year-old, who finished second at the Masters, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a bogey and finished the day with a birdie on No. 18. He scoffed at the idea that everyone but McIlroy was playing

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Sacrifice fly lifts Yanks over Cubs The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Curtis Granderson hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the sixth inning and Brett Gardner made a terrific play in the outfield to lead the New York Yankees to a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Granderson, who was born in nearby Blue Island, also had two hits and a walk as the Yankees won for the seventh time in nine games, bouncing back from a 3-1 loss in the opener of their first series at Wrigley Field in eight years. Granderson’s fly ball to deep right put New York ahead 3-2, but the Yankees almost blew it with shoddy fielding behind A.J. Burnett (7-5), who struck out eight in 5 1-3 innings. Cubs starter Ryan Dempster (5-6) was in trouble throughout the game, setting season highs with six walks and 119 pitches. The right-hander allowed three runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings. Twins 1, Padres 0

MINNEAPOLIS — Scott Baker struck out 10 over eight dominant innings and Danny Valencia homered to lift the surging Minnesota Twins to a win over the San Diego Padres. Baker (5-4) allowed four hits and walked one as the Twins won for the sixth time in a row and 13th time in 15 games. Matt Capps pitched the ninth for his 11th save. Tim Stauffer (2-5) was nearly as good, allowing one run on six hits with five strikeouts in seven innings. But the punchless Padres offense was no match for Baker, and San Diego lost its fourth straight and eighth in 10 games. Luke Hughes added two hits for Minnesota. Mets 6, Angels 1

NEW YORK — Mike Pelfrey pitched his first complete game in nearly three years, Carlos Beltran hit a mammoth home run and the New York Mets handed Dan Haren a rare beating in a victory over the Los Angeles Angels. National League batting leader Jose Reyes sparked the offense with his latest big game from the leadoff spot and Jason Bay showed more signs of breaking out of his season-long slump. Pelfrey (4-5) gave up five hits in his first win since May 10 at Colorado. He entered 0-2 in his previous six outings, though he pitched well in most of those. Rangers 5, Braves 4

ATLANTA — Adrian Beltre drove in the go-ahead run with an RBI single in the 10th inning and the Texas Rangers beat the Atlanta Braves for a rare onerun road win. The Rangers were previously 1-11 in one-run road games before winning after blowing an early 4-0 lead. There was a rain delay of 2 hours, 16 minutes in the fifth inning. Ian Kinsler led off the 10th with a double off Scott Proctor (1-1), who was pitching in his third straight game. Kinsler stayed at second on a groundout by Elvis Andrus, who had three hits. Proctor issued an intentional walk to Josh Hamilton before Beltre lined the run-scoring single to center. Nationals 4, Orioles 2

WASHINGTON — Michael Morse put Washington ahead with a sixth-inning homer, Ryan Zimmerman also connected, and the Nationals beat the Baltimore Orioles for their eighth straight victory. Playing in his fifth game since being activated from the disabled list, Zimmerman had two hits, including a double that ignited a three-run uprising in the sixth. Washington is averaging 7.4 runs since his return. The Nationals’ winning streak is their longest since an eight-game run from Aug. 2-9, 2009.

Jordan Zimmerman (5-6) gave up two runs and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings to win a third consecutive decision. Orioles starter Brian Matusz (1-2) absorbed his second straight loss and left in the sixth inning with cramping in his left hamstring. Indians 5, Pirates 1

CLEVELAND — Carlos Carrasco took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and won his third straight start as the Cleveland Indians beat the Pittsburgh Pirates. Carrasco (7-3) extended his scoreless streak to 211-3 innings before finishing up allowing one run and four hits in 6 1-3 innings. Orlando Cabrera hit a solo homer while Grady Sizemore scored two runs and drove in another off Paul Maholm (3-8). Cleveland has won four of six games after losing nine of 10. Pittsburgh lost its second straight following a four-game winning streak and dropped to 0-12 in road interleague games since winning at Minnesota on June 17, 2009. Brewers 4, Red Sox 2

BOSTON — Rickie Weeks and Corey Hart homered on consecutive pitches in the first inning to help the Milwaukee Brewers spoil Jon Lester’s bid to become the major’s first 10-game winner in a victory over the Boston Red Sox. Randy Wolf (5-4) battled through seven tough innings and George Kottaras also hit a solo homer for Milwaukee, which won for just the second time in its last six games. Wolf scattered nine hits, walked one and fanned three, ending a string of four straight no-decisions. John Axford got three outs for his 19th save. Blue Jays 4, Reds 0

CINCINNATI — Jose Molina doubled and homered, and Brandon Morrow bounced back from one of his worst starts, leading the Toronto Blue Jays to a victory that kept the Cincinnati Reds winless in interleague play. Jose Bautista also had a pair of hits, including an RBI single off Edinson Volquez (5-7). Morrow (3-4) gave up five hits in 6 2-3 innings, two of them by Jay Bruce. Cardinals 5, Royals 4

ST. LOUIS — Matt Holliday hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning that helped the St. Louis Cardinals snap a season-high seven-game skid with a win over the Kansas City Royals. Holliday drilled an 0-1 pitch from reliever Greg Holland and is 5 for 9 with two homers and four RBIs since coming back from a quadriceps injury June 16.

PHOENIX — John Danks came up smiling after taking a line drive to the head and pitched the Chicago White Sox to a victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Paul Konerko went 3 for 4 with a home run, two RBIs and two runs scored as the White Sox squared the three-game interleague series at one apiece. Alex Rios, who had four RBIs, blew open a close game with a three-run homer off reliever Micah Owings in the eighth inning.

U.S. ready to move on from group stage struggles The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Now that the knockout games are here, the United States is ready to put a disappointing CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage behind. The U.S. lost to Panama and came out of Group C in second place, setting up a quarterfinal match with Jamaica at RFK Stadium today. Panama will take on El Salvador in the second match in the

quarterfinal doubleheader. “I think the team is still doing well in the tournament,” U.S. captain Carlos Bocanegra said. “Our original goal was to get to the knockout stages. OK, it didn’t come exactly as we wanted, we had the loss against Panama and everyone was disappointed. But we gave ourselves a great opportunity still in the knockout stages and our ultimate goal is to win this tournament.”

The U.S. started the tournament beating Canada 2-0, then came the 2-1 defeat to Panama — the first ever U.S. loss in Gold Cup group play. The U.S. clinched the quarterfinal berth with a 1-0 win against Guadeloupe. “I think we came through group play feeling good we were tested, that certain things came to light, and now we’re excited and ready to go,” U.S. coach Bob Bradley said.

Jamaica had no trouble earning its berth. The Reggae Boyz have won all three of their games in the tournament without allowing a single goal. The U.S. has been without two key players as it has prepared for the quarterfinal. Midfielders Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey were excused from the team’s training sessions in Washington to attend their sisters’ weddings — Donovan in California and Dempsey

in Texas. Both will fly into Washington after the weddings to be available for the match. Bradley said he wasn’t concerned about the players’ absence. He expected to go over film of Jamaica with the two players today morning. “We’ll take care of everything with Clint and Landon (today),” Bradley said. The U.S. has won its last five Gold Cup quarterfinal matches, and has never lost to Jamaica,

Unseeded Seppi wins first crown Janko Tipsarevic slips and is injured in final and may now miss Wimbledon.

Big Ten’s career scoring leader added to coach Tom Crean’s staff.

The Associated Press

EASTBOURNE, England — Janko Tipsarevic may miss Wimbledon after slipping and injuring his groin during the Eastbourne final Saturday. Unseeded Andreas Seppi won his first career title after Tipsarevic of Serbia was forced to retire while trailing 7-6 (5), 3-6, 5-3. Seppi is the first Italian to win an ATP title since Filippo Volandri won in Palermo in 2006. In the women’s final, MaSeppi rion Bartoli of France warmed up for Wimbledon with a 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 win over Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic. The third-seeded Tipsarevic, who is seeded 23rd at Wimbledon, was injured in the third set when down 3-4, 0-30 on serve, after repeatedly arguing with officials about the fading light. After lengthy treatment, he dropped his serve to fall behind 5-3 and retired after Seppi won the first point of the next game. “I’m taking an ultrasound now but it doesn’t look good,” Tipsarevic said. “I know matches are played here until late, but that is the case when there are no clouds and you have enough light. “It’s an absolute disgrace. ... what happened today. At 4-3, 15all or love-30 when I slipped, I asked the chair umpire or the referee, ’What else needs to happen for you to postpone this match?’ And he was just quiet. He was just repeating like a parrot that we have enough light, we have enough light.” Tipsarevic and Seppi both played their semifinals earlier Saturday, after rain washed out Friday’s schedule. In the final, Tipsarevic protested about fading light after the first game of the third set, and then dropped serve to fall behind 2-0. He continued to complain as he lost the next two games, before rain forced the players from the court. When play resumed Tipsarevic won the next three games before he fell. Bartoli’s victory is her first title since winning Stanford nearly two years ago, and came after she was a runner-up at Indian Wells and Strasbourg this season. Bartoli left the court early in the third set for treatment of a left hamstring injury. Bartoli was not concerned about her injury and was certain to be fit for Wimbledon, where she reached the final in 2007 and is seeded ninth. “My muscle started to get tight and after the support I received with the tape it was better and now I have two days off so I am definitely going to be OK for Wimbledon,” she said. In the semis, Bartoli beat Australian Sam Stosur 6-3, 6-1 and Kvitova advanced when Daniela Hantuchova retired with an abdominal injury as Kvitova led 7-6 (9), 4-2.

holding a 9-0-8 record. The teams last met in a friendly on April 11, 2006, which the U.S. won 1-0. “In the group stage we didn’t play anywhere near our best, but we’ve always said we need to keep getting better as the tournament goes on,” midfielder Sacha Kljestan said. “So the quarterfinal right now is a stepping stone, hopefully to bigger things. Bigger performances, and bigger wins for the team.”

Bruins delight fans at ‘rolling rally’ City celebrates team’s first NHL title in 39 years with raucous celebration. By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer

BOSTON — Screaming fans dressed in the black and gold of the Boston Bruins smiled, waved and stood on trees and bus shelters as they watched the NHL champions — and the Stanley Cup, of course — roll through city streets on a balmy, breezy day. And the players they adore gave it right back. Tim Thomas beamed. Zdeno Chara pumped his fists. Patrice Bergeron signaled to the massive crowd to shout even louder. Then, as the nearly two-hour “rolling rally” celebration of the Bruins’ first title in 39 years neared its end early Saturday afternoon, Andrew Ference raised one finger, then two, then three, orchestrating a familiar chant. “Let’s Go Bruins!” the fans responded. “Let’s Go Bruins!” But there’s no need for the Bruins to go any further. They’ve already arrived. The long journey began in Vermont in late September with two days of training camp and ended in Vancouver with a 4-0 victory Wednesday night in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. In between, the Bruins started the season with two games in Prague against the Phoenix Coyotes — losing then winning on a shutout by Thomas — and grew into a team determined

enough to win three of its four postseason series in seven games and good enough to knock off the Canucks, the NHL’s best team in the regular season. The Bruins’ trip to their sixth championship got a big boost from their fans, who stuck by them all the way to Saturday’s celebration on a sunny day with temperatures reaching the low 80s. Crowds were so deep on the sidewalks that many fans might not have been able to see the players. Police announced nine arrests of people “charged with, among other things, Public Drinking and Disorderly Conduct.” Police commissioner Edward Davis said, “exemplary fan behavior was on full display throughout the day and all along the parade route.” In a 15-minute program outside the TD Garden before the rally, Boston mayor Thomas Menino thanked the Bruins for

“a fabulous season.” Team president Cam Neely, one of the greatest forwards in club history but never a champion, said, “It’s finally our time. How amazing is this?” Chara, the captain, then told the fans, “We couldn’t have done it without you,” and shared a conversation he had with Neely. “I promised him when we win a Cup I will hand it to him. So here we go. Come on, Cam,” he said as Neely stepped forward, smiled broadly and took the trophy. At one point, Bergeron and rookie Brad Marchand, who each scored two goals in Game 7, did a poor imitation of the rap song, “Black And Yellow.” Playoff MVP Thomas spoke briefly to the crowd, holding the Cup aloft the whole time. “You guys wanted it. We got it and we want to share it with you today,” said the goalie, one of the few Bruins still sporting a

playoff beard. “Let’s have some fun.” Then players — wearing white hats and black T-shirts proclaiming them Stanley Cup champions — and team officials boarded 18 colorful duck boats, tourist vehicles designed to travel on land and water. This day, they carried passengers who excelled on ice. “We all love each other,” said first-line forward Nathan Horton, sidelined for the series with a severe concussion early in Game 3. “We all care about each other. We all play for each other. That’s the way it’s been all year and that’s why we won the Cup.” Playmaking center Marc Savard, limited to 25 games this season by the effects of a careerthreatening concussion, rode in the same duck boat as Horton. The possibility of playing again after missing the playoffs “is really the furthest thing from my mind right now,” Savard said. “I just want to enjoy it here and let the boys take the spotlight here because they earned it.” About 20 minutes into the trip to Copley Square, a route of about three miles from the arena where the Bruins were 3-0 against the Canucks in the finals, Thomas said, “It’s awesome to be sharing it with everybody. This is the day you really look forward to.” While Boston police no longer provide estimates, the size of the crowd appeared to be larger than all but the one that turned out to celebrate the Red Sox first championship in 86 years in 2004.

U.S. duo seeking fourth beach volleyball title The Associated Press

ROME — Two-time Olympic champions Misty MayTreanor and Kerri Walsh are within one victory of their fourth beach volleyball world title. The Americans beat China’s Xue Chen and Zhang Xi 21-17, 15-21, 15-10 in the semifinals Saturday and will face

top-seeded Brazilians Larissa Franca and Juliana Felisberta Da Silva in the final today. Franca and Felisberta Da Silva dispatched the Czech duo of Hana Klapalova and Lenka Hajeckova 21-14, 21-13. May-Treanor and Walsh won world titles in 2003, 2005 and 2007 and are 32-1 for their career at the worlds.

The pair, which also won gold at the last two Olympics, did not play together in 2009 and 2010 due to injuries and the birth of Walsh’s two sons. May-Treanor and Walsh hold an 11-5 career edge over Franca and Felisberta Da Silva but the Brazilians have won the last two meetings

and are guaranteed their fourth consecutive medal in ent event, having claimed silver in 2005 and 2009 and bronze in 2007. The men’s final will be an all-Brazilian match between second-seeded Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego and thirdseeded Marcio Araujo and Ricardo Santos.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Calbert Cheaney is returning to Indiana to relearn the college game. The Big Ten’s career scoring leader was hired Saturday by coach Tom Crean as the Hoosiers’ new director of basketball operations. Crean made the announcementduringhisfather/sonbasketball camp, ending several days of speculation that one of the best players in school history would be back on campus. “Calbert knows the standard that it takes to be successful academically as a high-level student athlete, and he knows what is expected to play at the NBA level,” Crean said in a statement. “He is excited to learn the business of college basketball.” Cheaney replaces Drew Adams, who was hired for the same position by New Mexico coach Steve Alford — also a former Indiana star. For Crean, it’s another opportunitytoreachintotheHoosiers’rich past. The Indiana coach has spent three seasons trying to heal the wounds left by the firing of Bob Knight and later by Kelvin Sampson’s NCAA recruiting infractions. The fallout from the NCAA case gutted the roster and forced Crean to start his tenure with only two returning players — both walk-ons. Crean still has not posted a winning record in three seasons. But he and others have been trying to fix the tattered program. Photos of Knight now hang in Assembly Hall and the coach who won three national championships and more than 600 games in Bloomington has been inducted into the school’s hall of fame. Crean also has reached out to Knight’s former players in an attempt to make them a bigger part of the program. Hiring Cheaney is the latest move. “My family and I believe that this was the right time to begin a career in college basketball and I am especially looking forward to playing a role in the growth of the players at Indiana,” Cheaney said. “I’m very grateful to Coach Crean for this opportunity to return to IU and I look forward to contributing immediately in any way possible.” Cheaney finished his college career with 2,613 points — still the Big Ten record — and was named the league and national player of the year in 1993. In four seasons, Cheaney led the Hoosiers to a 10527 record and the 1992 Final Four and made the All-America team three times. The Evansville, Ind., native averaged 22.4pointsand 6.2 rebounds as a senior. He was taken with the No. 6 overall pick in the ’93 NBA draft and played the next 13 seasons with five different teams: Washington, Boston, Denver, Utah and Golden State. He averaged 9.5 points and 3.2 rebounds in 825 career games. His best season came in 1994-95 when he averaged a career-high 16.6 points with Washington.

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES

Tar Heels strand 16, drop opener to Commodores By ERIC OLSON AP Sports Writer

OMAHA, Neb. — North Carolina was left to ponder its missed chances after its 7-3 loss to Vanderbilt at the College World Series. The Tar Heels left16 runners on base — the CWS single-game record is 17 — and that included men stranded at third in the fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth innings. “That’s pretty much the tale of the game for us, offensively,” Tar Heels coach Mike Fox said. “Out here, it’s how well you play from the first pitch to the last and getting big two-out hits. “And they got them and we didn’t.” Connor Harrell hit the first CWS home run in the new TD Ameritrade Park to break a sixth-

“They’re the best team in the league stat wise and that was all Smitty,” Yankees manager Dave Miley said. “He did a great job. We couldn’t ask for anymore than what he gave.” Smith, who was signed by the Yankees on June 13 while he was pitching in the Independent American Association for the Grand Prairie Air Hogs, only made one other appearance for SWB this season and that was a 1 2/3-inning relief outing on June 14. He only allowed one walk in that brief outing. On Saturday, a pair of walks was all he allowed in the first 5 2/3 innings before Indians prospect Jason Kipnis lined a single to right for the Clippers’ first hit of the game. Smith walked former Yankee Shelley Duncan in the first and Luis Valbuena in the second, for the only other blemishes on his line, opposed to seven strikeouts. He threw a total of 84 pitches, 57 for strikes, with his third different team this season. “My philosophy is that it doesn’t matter where you pitch or who’s catching or hitting, wherever I am my job is to execute the pitch,” Smith said. “Gus (Molina) did a good job of calling pitches so I really relied on him tonight. “You try not to think about (a no-hitter) but looking out there at the scoreboard to see outs, you see the goose egg up there you can’t not think about it.” Yankees right fielder Jordan Parraz made a superb diving catch in the fourth to rob Duncan of a hit on a sinking line drive to keep Smith’s bid for a no-hitter intact. Then Parraz (2-for-3, two runs) helped out with the bat in the bottom of the fourth when he ripped the first pitch he saw from Jeanmar Gomez over the left-field wall for his third home run of the season, a two-run liner that gave SWB a 3-0 advantage.

and I think their crowd got them into it,” Chaz Frank said. “They just made good pitches and we weren’t able to get timely hitting like we’ve been doing all year. “We’ve been riding our pitching and defense all year. And we’ve been able to get timely hitting and we weren’t able to get it today.” Vanderbilt didn’t act like the CWS newcomer that it is.

Vanderbilt played as it has for “I think they buckled down, esinning tie and three relievers held North Carolina scoreless on three pecially when (we) had runners most of the season — including on base, when they had two outs, its knack for scoring big runs with hits the last five innings. Parraz’s diving catch wasn’t the only highlight reel play for the Yankees. In the top of the eighth, Austin Krum made a similar grab on a looping fly ball from Paul Phillips. “The first thing Randy (Flores) talked about when I got here was that we got a pretty good defense,” Smith noted. “So my thought was let them hit it. Go in there, throw some strikes and let them hit it, and they did not disappoint.” The Yankees added a run on a groundout in the seventh against Gomez, the reigning International League Pitcher of the Week. Last week, he only allowed two runs in 13 innings. SWB struck him for four runs in seven innings. He whiffed seven and didn’t walk a batter. Andrew Brackman, who is a converted starter, closed out the game for the Yankees. He struck out three over the final two innings.

Johnson’stwo-outdoubleinthe seventh broke open a close game. Smith’s second RBI single the next inning gave reliever Nick Maronde a four-run cushion going into the ninth. Randall (11-3) scattered five hits over 6 2-3 innings, walked none and struck out five after a terrific eight-inning outing in the super regionals against Mississippi State. Only one of the four runs against him was earned. Taylor Jungmann (13-3) had a third straight rough outing for the Longhorns.

CLINIC

BIG 33

Continued from Page 1C

The Sooners head coach, who signed on with Oklahoma in April shortly after leading American to a fifth-place finish at the NCAA championships this past season, was impressed with the quality of talent he saw at the clinic and throughout the Keystone State. “The quality of wrestling here is just incredible,” Cody said. “Even with the camp here, it’s just amazing to me to see the solid basic skills even elementary kids have.” The eight-week program is open to wrestlers in kindergarten through 12th grade. The instruction takes place from 5:307:30 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday through July 27. The clinic is an excellent way to receive exposure from some of the most well-known coaches on the national scene, according to clinic founder Jack Davis. Davis, who was an assistant and head coach at Clarion University for 22 years, said the quality of instruction at the clinic is second-to-none. “There is not another camp in the country that has the technicians that we’re bringing in,” said Davis, who has helped run many other wrestling clinics since 1975. His son Scott won a PIAA state championship in 2007 for Lake-Lehman. “I think it is great exposure for the Wyoming Valley." The list of coaches scheduled to visit the camp during the remaining six weeks include: Cornell head coach Rob Koll, whose team was one of the top-three teams in the country this past season; Maryland’s Kerry McCoy, a two-time Olympian out of Penn State and the 2009 ACC Coach of the Year; and fivetime Pennsylvania Coach of the Year Dave Crowell of Nazareth High School to name a few. Although the clinic started two weeks ago, registration forms are still being accepted. For further information, contact Jack Davis at 814-538-9034. Davis, whose five-year stint as Clarion’s head coach included three top-15 finishes and 14 AllAmericans, loved how Cody handled himself in front of the wrestlers and the value he brings to the local community. “Mark Cody is a great technician and he’s got a great name,” Davis said. “I’m trying to expose the Wyoming Valley kids to

Julian Campenni of Wyoming Area, who is headed to the University of Connecticut, started at left tackle for a Pennsylvania defense that kept the team in the game early by forcing Ohio into missed field goals to end the first two possessions. Ohio soon started picking the Pennsylvania defense apart and, after scoring on its first possession of the second half, opened a 35-7 lead just 3:31 into the third quarter on its fourth touchdown of at least 40 yards. “I had a great week with 33 great players,” Campenni said. “I’ll never forget it. “The game didn’t go the way we wanted, but we had fun and made some great memories.” The win, its third straight, gave Ohio a 10-9 lead in the series since the game for graduating high school football allstars returned to this format in 1993. Counting a series of games in the 1970s, the states are even at 12-12. The teams appeared anything but evenly matched Saturday. By the time Cincinnati recruit Akise Teague scored his third touchdown on a 40-yard pass from Cardale Jones for the 35-7 advantage, Ohio had a 317106 advantage in total offense. Ohio’s defense produced two interceptions in the first half and had five of its seven sacks by the midway point in the third quarter. That defense may have had a little extra help. On the possession after Teague’s third touchdown, Ohio had two straight sacks, the second by linebacker Steven Daniels. When Daniels came up with yet another sack on third down, Ohio was penalized for an illegal defense for the second of three times in the game where blitzes are prohibited. “We made too many mistakes and they took advantage,” Pennsylvania coach Tim Rimpfel said. “A good team will do that and, oh boy, did they have some speed.” In a game that featured 20 future Big Ten players, Ohio benefitted from the availability of five Ohio State recruits. Jones threw three touchdown passes, including a 54-yarder in the second quarter and a 28-yarder in the fourth quarter to future teammate Devin Smith. Pennsylvania had just two Penn State players – all-purpose athlete Shawn Oakman from Penn Wood and defensive lineman Jordan Kerner from Fairview. Teague started the scoring with touchdown runs of 52 and 20 yards in the final 4:30 of the first quarter for a 14-0 Ohio lead. Delaware Valley’s Brandon Clemons hit Jones in the backfield, setting up an interception by Desimon Green, leading to Pennsylvania’s only score of the first half. Smith and Grant answered before halftime for a 28-7 lead.

two outs. UNC, in addition to its problem of stranding runners, got a so-so start from Pat Johnson. Conrad Gregor tied it with two outs in the sixth with his double off the top of the wall, and Harrell followed with his two-run homer.

some of the best coaches across the country.” Lake-Lehman head coach Tom Williams was thrilled to host such a quality event in the Black Knights’ gymnasium. “You like to try to have your kids do what the best are doing,” said Williams. “Having somebody like Coach Cody here … that to me is the best. He has a very organized and disciplined approach. “I know I picked up a few things as a coach.” Cody spent time at the end of Wednesday’s program talking to the young wrestlers about steering clear of harmful substances a mantra his teams adhered to during his successful eight-year career at American. “Stay away from the alcohol and drugs,” said Cody, who set in place the same policy for his grapplers in Norman, Okla. “The standards we hold for the kids are very high. We promised them if they bought into our system, they would have some

degree of success,” he said. Fifteen-year-old Austin Harry, who won a District 2 Class 2A championship at Lake-Lehman last season as a freshman, was at the camp last year. The rising sophomore liked Cody’s style of coaching and the way he represented himself. “He knows what he’s doing,” Harry said. “He makes you repeat everything he says so you remember it better. To have him and some of the best coaches in the country here is great.” Cody and Davis agree the recruiting talent in the state is remarkably high. But Davis said there are some mechanics local wrestlers need to address in order to compete amongst the very best. The Eagles’ Way Wrestling Camp can help, he said. “The talent is there, some of the ingredients that go along with it are missing,” Davis said. “That’s why we’re having this camp, so the kids can brush that up.”

Edwards earns yet another win

Power positioned for first series title

Victory at Michigan track was driver’s fourth on Nationwide series this season. By NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Carl Edwards raced to his fourth NASCAR Nationwide victory of the year, passing teammate Ricky Stenhouse Jr. with less than 10 laps remaining Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. Edwards, the Sprint Cup points leader, had finished second in three straight Nationwide races since winning at Dover in May, but he was able to slip underneath Stenhouse and then cut in front of him before holding on to win by 1.669 seconds in the No. 60 Ford. It was his 33rd career Nationwide victory. “With 15 to go, I didn’t think we were going to be able to get him,” Edwards said. Edwards and Stenhouse gave Roush Fenway Racing a 1-2 finish. Kyle Busch was third, followed by pole-sitter Paul Menard. Edwards isn’t eligible to earn Nationwide points. Reed Sorenson, the points leader entering the race, finished 11th following an early passthrough penalty for a commitment-line violation. Stenhouse now leads the series standings. Elliott Sadler, eighth Saturday, is second. Sorenson dropped to third. Mark Martin, seeking his 50th Nationwide win, was the leader coming out of the third and final caution on the 100th of 125 laps. Edwards and Busch quickly passed him, but Stenhouse moved to the lead not long after that. Stenhouse led laps 104-116, but Edwards remained patient and denied Stenhouse what would have been his second win of the year. “It was more work than I thought it would be,” Edwards

said. “I really had to drive hard. He is really getting good at this, and he’s going to be tough.” Busch, trying to match Martin’s mark of 49 victories, had to settle for outlasting Menard in a hard-fought race for third. Although Menard had won the pole earlier in the day, he led for only one lap. Edwards led for 62 laps, and Stenhouse led for 38. Menard was the beneficiary of the final caution, which began on the 95th lap. Martin arrived for a pit stop moments before the yellow flag and was able to move to the front when the leaders went for pit stops during the caution. After his victory, Edwards did his usual back flip, then went running into the stands to celebrate. He finished second in a Nationwide race at MIS last August and won one in 2008. He also has two Sprint Cup wins at this venue. Brad Keselowski, who edged Edwards to win in Michigan last year, led for 11 laps, the most of anyone besides Edwards and Stenhouse. Keselowski, however, fell back after a pass-through penalty for an uncontrolled tire. He finished ninth.

Kurt Busch captures pole for Michigan race BROOKLYN, Mich. — Another race, another pole for Kurt Busch. This is a drill he’s happy to get used to. “To be on the pole three weeks, what it does — there are so many benefits behind the scenes,” Busch said. “Picking your pit selection first, having track position right away in the race. ... You could have a slow pit crew, and you have that first pit box, that’s going to help you get out in front of guys throughout the day.” Busch won his third consecutive pole in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series, finishing first in qualifying Saturday at Michigan International Speedway with a lap of 188.699 miles per hour. He’s the first driver to win three straight poles since Brian Vickers in 2009, and two qualifying sessions were canceled during that streak. The last person to win three poles in three races was Ryan Newman in 2007. Busch is sixth in the points

standings and has finished in the top 10 three straight races, including a second-place showing last weekend at Pocono Raceway. He has not won in 2011, but he’s enjoyed better results after taking his Penske Racing team to task earlier this season. “I’m thankful that everybody was able to pull together and understand that we should just try something different,” he said. “It’s great to be able to see the results pop up so soon. I had no idea that we were right around the corner.” Busch was forced to a backup car last weekend after damaging his No. 22 Dodge in practice. There’s been less drama this time around as he prepares for today’s 400-mile race. “This was a conventional weekend, so to speak,” he said. Busch was the pole-sitter in Michigan last June as well, and

he finished third. David Reutimann (188.684 mph) was second in qualifying, and Matt Kenseth (188.620) was third. Vickers, who was fourth, was the leader at one point but Kenseth, Busch and Reutimann all posted faster laps toward the end. “Right there at the end a big cloud came over and it cooled down quite a bit,” Vickers said. “I’m sure it helped those guys and they ran pretty good, too.” Vickers is 26th in the standings. He missed the last 25 races of last season after he was diagnosed in May with a hole in his heart and blood clots down his left leg. Heart surgery in July repaired the hole but also showed he was suffering from May-Thurners syndrome, which caused the clots. He had surgery for the clots the next day. “I’ve felt great (since the procedure),” Vickers said. “Everything’s been great.” Kenseth, who is seventh in the points standings, will start near

the front today, and that’s not necessarily a familiar feeling. Kenseth qualified in the top 10 for only the fourth time this season, and he has a hard time relating to Busch, with his three consecutive poles. “I don’t think I’ve had three poles in 12 years,” said Kenseth, who won only his fifth career pole in Las Vegas in March. Points leader Carl Edwards was 23rd. Jeff Gordon, coming off a win at Pocono, was 31st. Newman, who set the track’s qualifying record in 2005 at 194.232 mph, was 13th this time around.

WEST ALLIS, Wis. — Dario Franchitti won the pole position Saturday for the IndyCar race Sunday at the Milwaukee Mile with an average speed of 170.841 mph. Helio Castroneves qualified second, followed by Scott Dixon. It was a rough afternoon for Simona De Silvestro, who was taken to a hospital after she crashed during her qualifying run. A series spokesperson said she was awake and alert. Will Power has a 21-point lead over Franchitti in the series points standings going into the race. Milwaukee is back on the IndyCar schedule after financial problems prevented the track from hosting major racing events last year.

back to help his crew figure out what adjustments can make the car faster. “When he first came to us, he was like, ‘Hey, I don’t really know. Just give me what you had last year and let me feel it,”’ Cindric said. Cindric said Power really didn’t know what a car was supposed to feel like on an oval when he came to the team. “If you’ve been in a bad car on an oval, it’s real hard (not) to be pretty gun-shy about it,” Cindric said. “He gained that confidence last year, had some good races, had some good race cars. Then he understood what it was going to take (to go) from running top-five to winning.” But fellow title contenders will be watching closely to see if Power can be as good on a challenging short oval such as Milwaukee, or Iowa next weekend, as he was at Texas. “I never felt complete until I had won a 1-mile oval race to say, ’I won an oval race,”’ Tony Kanaan said. “Because Texas, so many things can happen which are not up to our control. This is a driver’s track.” Power seems well-positioned for another chance at the championship, but isn’t thinking about it for now. “We led the whole year last year and lost it in the last race,” Power said.

WEST ALLIS, Wis. — Like many drivers who come from a road course racing background, Will Power had a fear factor to overcome as he first learned how to drive on ovals. Since moving to Indy-style racing in 2005, Power gradually became comfortable with the high speeds, close proximity to walls and sustained G-forces involved in oval track racing. He isn’t scared — and that’s a little scary. “The thing that scares you is you get immune to it, right? Immune to the speed and how dangerous it actually is,” Power said. “It sort of becomes normal to you. That’s when you’re like, ’Oh, man, it was only a year ago I was thinking this was just stupidity and I shouldn’t even be doing it.”’ Today, Power isn’t just surviving on ovals — he’s thriving. The Australian’s big breakthrough came last weekend, when he won at Texas Motor Speedway for the first ovaltrack victory of his career. Power was the IndyCar Series’ best road course racer last season, and was decent enough on oval tracks to nearly win the IndyCar championship. Even marginal improvement on ovals this season could put Power over the top. The Team Penske driver comes into today’s race at the Milwaukee Mile with a 21-point lead over Dario Franchitti, the driver Power lost the title to at the end of last season. “To me, I guess, it was a matter of time,” Power said of winning on an oval. “I’ve always been knocking on the door there, and everything came together at Texas.” Teammate Ryan Briscoe said it’s a sign of Power’s steady improvement. “I think if you’re a good road course driver, you’ll become a good oval driver — unless you’re scared of the speed,” Briscoe said. “If you don’t have a problem with the fear, being good on ovals comes with experience.” Penske Racing president Tim Cindric said Power gradually learned how to work with his team on ovals, providing feed-

U.S. women chasing after Jamaicans in sprinting By PAT GRAHAM AP Sports Writer

Back in her heyday, Gail Devers stood out almost as much for her flashy fingernails as her dazzling finishes. Those brightly colored, long and looping nails were eye-catching, just like the performances of the American women in the 100 meters at that time. Between Devers, Florence Griffith-Joyner and Evelyn Ashford, along with Marion Jones, who later admitted to doping, the U.S. governed track’s signature event for nearly two decades. That supremacy has slipped. These days, the balance of power has shifted to Jamaica, leaving the Americans to play catch-up. The small Caribbean island is producing some big-time sprinters who have taken center stage at track’s premier events. And unlike men’s sprinting with Usain Bolt, no one runner is

head and shoulders above the rest. Sure, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce won the 100 at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, leading Jamaica’s sweep of the medals, and followed that up by taking gold at worlds the next season. But a fleet of fast Jamaicans can step up at any given race. When top Jamaican sprinters such as Veronica CampbellBrown, Sherone Simpson, Kerron Stewart and Fraser-Pryce step into the blocks at worlds in Daegu, South Korea, this summer, they, not the Americans, will be the favorites. In Devers’ opinion, this role reversal is just a trend. When Devers was first coming up, it was the Americans chasing the Europeans and Russians, with many in track circles believing that group of sprinters would never be caught. The U.S. women eventually tracked them down and went on

to capture five straight Olympic 100-meter gold medals from 1984 to 2000, including one in Sydney that Jones surrendered because of doping. “The Jamaicans have simply figured it out right now, got tired of being the bridesmaid, wanted to be the bride,” said Devers, who ran in an epic 100 against Jamaica’s Merlene Ottey at the ’96 Summer Games in Atlanta, winning in a tight finish. “Everyone has their season.” With the 2012 London Games looming on the horizon, the Americans are attempting to wrestle the dominance back. Newly named Olympic track coach Amy Deem doesn’t think her squad is far behind the Jamaicans, especially with a blend of veterans such as Carmelita Jeter and up-and-comers like Alexandria Anderson, the 2009 NCAA champion in the 100. The American 100-meter hopefuls will assemble at the U.S.

championships that begin Thursday in Eugene, Ore., to earn a place at worlds and the right to face the formidable Jamaicans. “I don’t think anybody in the 100 is significantly better,” Deem said. “From what I’ve seen, anybody is beatable in that race.” That’s the thing: There really is no Bolt-like figure, someone who’s running away from the field. Despite winning at the Olympics and worlds, FraserPryce isn’t shattering world marks like her fellow Jamaican. In fact, it’s Jeter who’s making a run at the top marks. She has the fastest time of this era, clocking 10.64 seconds in 2009 to become the second-fastest woman in the history of the 100. Only the late Griffith-Joyner ran faster (10.49). To Jeter, this isn’t so much a rivalry with the Jamaicans as the spark to sprint even faster. “It’s very good for the sport; it’s very good for women’s sprints

Spotlight on Williams sisters’ return after injuries Sharapova: Next Slam title best

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

Two simple words at the end of a June 7 tweet said it all: “Serena’s back!” And Venus is, too. Yes, as Serena Williams announced to the world less than two weeks ago, the most successful tennis-playing siblings in history are returning from lengthy layoffs right on time for Wimbledon, where they just so happen to have won nine of the past 11 singles championships. For Serena, it will be her first Grand Slam tournament — and only second event — since she took home a second consecutive title from the All England Club in July 2010. Her nearly yearlong absence resulted from a series of health issues, including two foot operations and blood clots in her lungs, that she said left her depressed and “on my deathbed.” Venus, meanwhile, was sidelined by a hip injury from January until June. When the grass-court Grand Slam tournament begins Monday, all eyes will be on them. “I feel like we’ve been on a similar road together. Her road hasn’t been as arduous or as long as mine, but I know what she’s been through coming back,” Serena said at a tuneup tournament this week in Eastbourne, England. “We’ve been really enjoying our time just getting back together and practicing next to her and looking over and seeing her play so well. I’m like, ‘OK, I’ve got to do better.’” There are, to be sure, other plot lines worth tracking during the fortnight. Among them: Can Roger Federer make a real run at a seventh Wimbledon title? Can Rafael Nadal extend his recent excellence to five titles in a span of six Grand Slam tournaments? Can Novak Djokovic recover from the end of his 43-match winning streak to win a major title other than the Australian Open? Can Andy Murray finally — and mercifully — put an end to the locals’ 75-year wait for a British male champion at the All England Club? Might No. 1-ranked Caroline Wozniacki win her first Grand Slam title? Could China’s Li Na win her second in a row? Will Maria Sharapova end her 31⁄2-year major drought? But the biggest curiosity, at least at the outset, is: How will the Williams sisters do? Part of the interest stems from wondering how much longer they’ll be around. Venus turned 31 on Friday; Serena will be 30 in September. “Whenever they enter a Grand Slam tournament, it’s double the excitement and double the intrigue, I think, that they bring to the sport. They just bring a different level of tennis also, as far as the power and the emotional content,” said ESPN2 analyst Chris Evert, who won 18 Grand Slam titles. “It would be monumental in

my mind if Serena pulled off a win,” Evert added. “I personally don’t know how it’s humanly possible for someone to take a year off like that and have gone through what she’s been through physically with her ailments and ... it would almost shock me if she did. But knowing Serena and the way she’s come back before, you can never count her out.” Evert — who said she never was away from the tour longer than four months — is one of only five women in tennis history who have won more major championships than Serena’s 13. The others are Margaret Court (24), Steffi Graf (22), Helen Wills Moody (19) and Martina Navratilova (18). Among active players, of course, Serena ranks No. 1, followed by Venus with seven. No one else in this year’s Wimbledon women’s field has more than three Grand Slam titles (Kim Clijsters has four, but she pulled out with a foot injury). Indeed, it’s remarkable to examine the measurable ways in which Serena and Venus have dominated women’s tennis, in general — and the All England Club, in particular — across the years. That’s why Serena is seeded No. 7 at Wimbledon, despite being ranked 26th; Venus is seeded 23rd, despite being ranked 33rd. Not only has Venus won five titles at Wimbledon, and Serena four, since 2000, but they’ve also produced four all-in-the-family finals there in that span. They’ve played in a total of eight all-Williams Grand Slam championship matches, with Serena holding a 6-2 edge. At Wimbledon, Venus is 68-9, Serena 57-7. No one else in the 2011 draw has more than 27 match wins there. Overall, Serena has been to 16 major finals, Venus 14. No one else in the draw has reached more than four. As seven-time major champion John McEnroe put it: “I wouldn’t minimize their chances.”

Hey, at least one British bookmaker installed Serena as a 3-1 favorite to win Wimbledon. The interest generated by the sisters’ rise to the top of their sport is widely pointed to as the reason for the U.S. Open’s decision to move its women’s final to prime time in 2001. Venus beat Serena that year for the title, and nearly 23 million viewers tuned in to the CBS broadcast, giving their match the largest TV audience of any program that night, including a game between traditional college football powers Notre Dame and Nebraska. The last major tournament, the French Open, was the first Grand Slam since 2003 without Serena or Venus — and chaos reigned. It’s the only French Open in history where none of the top three seeded women reached the quarterfinals, and it left some looking forward to when the sisters would pick up their rackets again. “I’m sure when they come back, they’ll come back ready. That’s how they do it. Tennis has been pretty spoiled by their success and they’re pretty special, two special sisters,” top-10 U.S. man Mardy Fish said in Paris. “And when they’re not around, you can feel it. You can feel at a Grand Slam when they’re not here, and so I think everyone’s hoping that they’ll be back, better than ever, soon.” Serena lost in the second round at Eastbourne, a three-set struggle against the woman she beat in last year’s Wimbledon final, Vera Zvonareva. Venus lasted one round longer. They’re not merely happy to be back, though. They want to contend for more titles. “I always believe in myself when I go on the court,” Venus said. “And I’m not just here to look good on the court; I’m here to win every match I’m in.”

WIMBLEDON, England — For all that Maria Sharapova already has accomplished in tennis, a title in a Grand Slam tournament now would be more gratifying than those from the past. “If I do achieve that — if it’s here, if it’s somewhere else — I think it would be my biggest achievement in my career,” she said Saturday at Wimbledon, where play begins Monday. Sharapova’s most recent major title came at the Australian Open in January 2008. In October of that year, she needed surgery on her right, racket-swinging shoulder — a rather important part of a tennis player’s body, it seems safe to say — and she was sidelined for the better part of 10 months. “I’ve said it since I came back from my injury. I said that if I could win another Grand Slam, it would mean more than the previous ones that I have. ... All of a sudden, one day, it was kind of taken away from you,” Sharapova said. “You kind of have to step back and look at things from a different angle,” she said of her time away from the game. “And then when you get back there, you basically start from zero. You try to get yourself to a level where you can compete with the top players, beating them day in, day out. Yeah, it’s a long process.” She won her first Grand Slam championship at the All England Club in 2004, when she was all of 17. Her second came two years later at the U.S. Open, followed by her victory in Australia. Sharapova then went more than three years without making it back to the semifinals at any major tournament until getting that far at the French Open this month. That proved to her — and to everyone else — that Sharapova, who briefly was No. 1 in the WTA rankings, is still capable of contending for tennis’ top prizes. She’s seeded fifth at Wimbledon, and will play 2007 U.S. Open semifinalist Anna Chakvetadze of Russia in the first round. “At the end of the day, you really just do this for

good for the sport. “I’m sure that a lot of young girls and boys in China now also want to play tennis because they want to play like Li Na,” Wozniacki said. “It’s great for tennis that we can have it even bigger as a sport than it is now.

yourself,” Sharapova said. “It’s really about your commitment and your drive; whether you want it or not. You can have as many positive words, and it’s really helpful and beneficial, but if you wake up and you don’t want it, then you’re never going to achieve anything.” COME ON, MOM! French Open champion Li Na might need to explain to her family how significant it is to win a Grand Slam tournament. After becoming the first Chinese player to win a major singles title two weeks ago, Li received a text message from her mother. A congratulatory note? Nope. Mom just wanted to know when her daughter would get a chance to come home. “I say, ’After Wimbledon.’ And then she never (wrote) me back again, so ... ,” Li said Saturday. Li added that she thinks her mother knows she won the French Open, but clarified: “I don’t know if even she (knows) how big (the) tournament is. I didn’t ask her.” Ask other players on the women’s tour, though, and they’ll be able to answer just fine. Top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki, still searching for her first Grand Slam championship, said Li’s victory is

KING’S 50th Billie Jean King will be at Wimbledon for the 50th consecutive year as player or spectator. The 67-year-old King owns a total of 20 Wimbledon titles, a record she shares with Martina Navratilova. “It feels like my second home,” said King, who won six singles, 10 doubles and four mixed doubles championships at the All England Club. “I loved that Centre Court the first time I went out there,” she added. “It’s lovely. The people are nice.” King earned her first Wimbledon title in 1961 at age 17, teaming with 18year-old Karen Hantze. King’s last trophy at the All England Club came in doubles in 1979 — paired with Navratilova. Last year, on Court 16, King hit her first tennis balls after having doubleknee replacement surgery. “I hit about two or three and then got off the court, because I didn’t have all white on, and I really shouldn’t have been out there,” King said. “But I did it.”

NOTES UPCOMING BASS TOURNAMENTS: PA Bass Casters will hold an open buddy bass tournament on June 26 at the state boat launch on Harveys Lake, and July 3 at Frank’s Marina on Lake Carey. Registration begins at 4 a.m. and both events are sponsored by R.J. Marine. For information, call Dan at 762-1469. The Suskie Bassmasters will kick off its tournament season on Wednesday at the Nesbitt Park Boat Launch in Kingston. Tournaments will be held every Wednesday night. The tournament runs from 6 to 9 p.m. and registration begins at 4:30 p.m. For information, visit www.suskiebassmasters.org. DOE LICENSE APPLICATIONS The Pennsylvania Game Commission will begin accepting antlerless deer license applications from resident hunters starting Monday, July 11; and from nonresidents beginning Monday, July 25. For the 2011-12 license year, antlerless deer license fees are the same as they have been since 1999, except for the 70-cent transaction fee attached to the purchase of each license and permit, which is paid directly to Active Outdoors, the Nashvillebased company that runs Pennsylvania Automated License System (PALS). This transaction fee means that residents will need to write checks made payable to “County Treasurer” for $6.70, and nonresidents for $26.70. By state law, antlerless deer licenses will continue to be sold only by county treasurers, so hunters will need to prepare and mail separate applications for antlerless deer licenses. A list of the mailing addresses for the 65 county treasurers that issue antlerless deer licenses is included in the 2011-12 Digest, which is provided to each license buyer. A listing of antlerless licenses allocated by WMU, as well as the remaining allocation, can be viewed on the Game Commission’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us), by clicking on “Doe License Update” in the “Quick Clicks” box in the right-hand column of the homepage. Under the 2011 timeline, residents will apply for regular antlerless deer licenses on July 11; nonresidents will apply for regular antlerless deer licenses on July 25. After this, residents and nonresidents will apply for the first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses on Aug. 1, and residents and nonresidents will apply for the second round of unsold antlerless deer licenses on Aug. 15. County treasurers will have to mail regular and first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses no later than Sept. 12, and second round of unsold antlerless deer licenses no later than Sept. 26. Hunters may file harvest reports online for antlered and antlerless deer, as well as fall turkey, spring gobbler, bobcat, fisher and Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) permits through the agency’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us). Additionally, hunters can call the agency’s toll-free telephone reporting system to file a harvest report. The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) harvest reporting system telephone number is 1-855-PAHUNT1 (1855-724-8681). Pre-paid postage report cards still are available in the digest, but the agency is encouraging hunters to report either online or through the telephone system to improve accuracy of data entry, and to save on the cost of postage and data entry. NEW HUNTING OPTION FOR YOUTH The General Assembly last week approved a bill that would allow for one antlerless deer license per license year to be transferred to youth participating in the Mentored Youth Hunting Program. Senate Bill 274, sponsored by Senate Game and Fisheries Committee Chairman Richard Alloway II, was unanimously approved by the Senate on May 2, and was unanimously approved in the House on June 15. The bill will be sent to Gov. Tom Corbett’s desk to await his action. “We salute Sen. Alloway for championing this bill, as well as House Game and Fisheries Committee Chairman John Evans for guiding this measure through the House,” said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director. “This new opportunity will expand an already popular program, which was created by legislation authored by Sen. Robert D. Robbins, back in 2006.” In anticipation of enactment of this bill, the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners, on April 12, took the first regulatory step toward allowing an adult mentor to transfer an antlerless deer license to a Mentored Youth Hunting Program participant. If the bill is signed by Corbett before the end of the board meeting on June 28, the board is positioned to final action on the regulatory change so that it can take effect for the upcoming 2011-12 deer seasons. At its October meeting, the board unanimously approved a resolution, introduced by Game Commissioner Jay Delaney, to support legislative efforts to allow for adult mentors to transfer one antlerless deer license or permit to a youth under the age of 12 participating in the MYHP. The regulations require that the mentor-tomentored youth ratio be one-to-one, and that the pair possesses only one sporting arm when hunting. While moving, the sporting arm must be carried by the mentor. When the pair reaches a stationary hunting location, the youth may take possession of the sporting arm, but must remain within arm’s length of the adult mentor at all times while in possession of the sporting arm. Legal species presently approved for the MYHP are squirrels, groundhogs, coyote, antlered deer and spring gobbler. All youth participating in the MYHP must obtain a permit through the Game Commission’s Pennsylvania Automated License System (PALS), which costs $2.70. Of that fee, one dollar goes to the Game Commission, one dollar goes to the issuing agent who processes the permit application, and 70 cents goes to the company managing PALS.

Walton retiring after 47-year WCO career

One special deputy

By TOM VENESKY tveneskytimesleader.com

Rich Walton was hunting near White Haven when two deputy Wildlife Conservation Officers stopped him for a routine hunting license check. As he talked with the deputies, Walton asked about becoming one himself. The job was appealing. At the time Walton wanted a career in law enforcement and becoming a deputy WCO gave him that along with combining his love of the outdoors. “It really appealed to me,” Walton said. And it still does today, almost 50 years later. On July 1, Walton, 70, will retire after reaching the maximum age a deputy can serve in law enforcement – deputy WCOs must retire on July 1 following their 70th birthday. Walton’s 47 years as a deputy WCO are the third-longest tenure in Pennsylvania Game Commission history. Two other deputies put in 48 and 49 years to top the list. If it was up to Walton, he would surpass the 50-year mark and more. “I would keep going if I didn’t have to retire,” the Hanover Township resident said. “The longer I was a deputy, the more I liked it.” That included working in the field assisting other WCOs or taking calls at the PGC’s Northeast Region Office in Dallas. Both parts of the job put Walton in some interesting situations during his 47 years – be it day or night. Walton is constantly tuned in to his police radio while at home. A few years ago a call came over from the Plains Township police at 1 a.m. Walton listened as the officers reported investigating a suspicious vehicle with a laundry basket in the backseat filled with deer parts. Despite the late hour, when Walton heard about the deer parts he didn’t think twice about responding to the call. It led to what Walton said is one of the most satisfying arrests of his career. “When I got there the Plains police found two individuals in the car and blood was leaking out of the basket all over the inside. It was a mess,” Walton said. “It turns out these two individuals shot two deer on the Plains Flats and another near Bald Mountain. All three were doe and they took them home, butchered them and were looking for a place to dump the scraps when the police found them.” The pair of poachers were hit with $3,000 in fines, Walton said. Even in the region office helping out as a dispatcher, Walton still found himself handling a few unique situations. Topping the list, he said, is the call about a bear that stole a bike off someone’s front porch in Carbon County. “The caller said the bear dragged his mountain bike off his porch and into the nearby woods,” Walton said. “I

asked him if there was anything connected to the bike that would attract the bear, and the caller said it was probably the bag of Hershey Kisses that were inside the saddle bag.” Walton was appointed as a deputy WCO on April 21, 1964 while he balanced a full-time job as a reporter with the Times Leader and Wilkes-Barre Record. Walton did work full-time with the PGC in the Communications/Dispatch Center, retiring in 2004. Still, he continued to maintain his deputy WCO post, reaching 25 years of service in 1989. During his nearly 50 years as a deputy, Walton has worked with 10 different supervising WCOs. His most recent supervising WCO is Gerald Kapral, who covers part of Luzerne County. Kapral said Walton’s dedication to

the job and knowledge are irreplaceable. “He was never just a deputy in name, he was very active in it the entire time,” Kapral said. “Rich’s passion for protecting the game lands and wildlife resource is unmatched. No matter what he was assigned to do, you knew he could handle it and do it right.” Perhaps the most difficult task that Walton will face is yet to come – retiring on July 1. “I’ll really miss it. I’ve done it so long that I know I’ll constantly be watching for violations and reporting anything I see,” Walton said. “It’s like second nature and it’s in my blood.” Whether it’s patrolling during hunting season, instructing hunter education courses or assisting on poaching investigations, Walton will miss protecting the outdoors that he deeply loves. “I don’t know why a person would shoot deer and let them lay or abuse our game lands,” Walton said. “I guess it’s just greed. “The number of violations certainly haven’t decreased during my time as a deputy, and that’s why it’s important to stay vigilant and report what you see. We have to protect our game lands and preserve our wildlife resource for future generations.”

It’s the season to see fawns in fields and rural areas

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER

White-tailed deer are about finished having their fawns, and they aren’t an uncommon sight in fields and rural areas. Younger female deer typically give birth to a single fawn, while does 2 1/2 years and older can have twins or even triplets. This fawn was photographed in a yard in Bear Creek Village. While it might appear a fawn is often alone, the mother is usually nearby and they should never be picked up.

t’s not something you hear about everyday. Rabid beavers attacking people. That’s exactly what’s been happening in the southeastern part of the state. Rabid beavers attacked, people were bitten and each incident seems pretty horrific for those involved. It all began in April when a local angler fishing a Chester County stream heard a splash and saw a beaver swimming toward him. The beaver bit the angler on the back of the leg and once more on the hand as the fisherman struggled to drown the animal. A test on the carcass confirmed the beaver had rabies. Earlier this month, in a park in northeast Philadelphia, three people were bitten by a rabid beaver. A husband and wife fishing in the park were the first victims. A large beaver bit the woman’s leg and subsequently bit the husband in both arms and his chest as he assisted his wife. The next day, a child was bitten by a beaver in the same area, and it seemed a serious threat was emerging. Later that day, however, a park ranger captured a beaver 500 yards from where the child was bitten. A Pennsylvania Game Commission Wildlife Conservation Officer euthanized the animal and the next day test results came back positive for rabies. Any animal with rabies isn’t a good thing. But a rabid beaver? That’s downright scary. Equipped with long incisors anchored in a muscular head the size of a brick, a beaver can easily gnaw through the trunk of a tree. Imagine what it could do to an arm or a leg. Obviously, beavers aren’t the only wildlife that are infected with rabies. According to the state Health Department, between 350 and 500 animals test positive for the virus each year. Most of them are raccoons, followed by skunks, cats, bats and foxes – no surprises there. So how did the beavers in the southeast get rabies? PGC spokesman Jerry Feaser said the beavers were most likely bitten by another animal that was infected, such as a raccoon. “Philadelphia does have raccoon issues,” Feaser said, referring to the abundant population in the area. It makes sense. Raccoons frequent ponds and streams searching for food. I’m sure they cross paths with beavers quite a bit. Perhaps a rabid raccoon was nosing around the beaver’s hut or dam when a confrontation occurred, resulting in a few bites. It’s a bit odd that a couple of beavers tested positive for rabies, but it doesn’t mean there is a statewide epidemic. Still, the incidents speak volumes about the importance of trapping when it comes to managing wildlife and limiting disease outbreaks. According to the PGC’s most recent furtaker survey in 2008, hunters and trappers harvested an estimated 142,808 raccoons, more than 65,000 foxes and 12,331 skunks. It makes one wonder how many more rabies cases we would have each year if it weren’t for hunting and trapping. In the case of the Philadelphia beavers, trapping would be difficult due to the 150-yard safety zone requirement. There is a bill (HB 1057) that would reduce the safety zone to 50 yards for submerged sets, which are commonly used for beaver and can be set for raccoons as well. If the bill passes, it will allow trappers to make their sets in more urban areas, remove excess furbearer populations and further control the spread of rabies and other diseases. That’s the best way to keep furbearer populations healthy and keep attacks from rabid beavers as something you don’t hear about everyday. Tom Venesky covers the outdoors for The Times Leader.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

The U.S. Women’s National soccer team opens its bid to win the 2011 FIFA World Cup on June 28 against North Korea in Germany. Two-time defending champion Germany and Brazil are considered the teams to beat in the competition that runs June 26 to July 17 in nine cities across Germany.

U.S. confident of ending title drought Host Germany, Brazil seen as the favorites in world event, which U.S. last won in 1999,

By NANCY ARMOUR AP National Writer

Even with their No. 1 ranking and Olympic gold medal, the Americans aren’t the favorites for the upcoming Women’s World Cup. That would be host Germany, winner of the last two World Cups and the team with the most talented roster from top to bottom — not to mention homefield advantage. Or Brazil, which has the best player in the world in Marta and was runner-up at the last three major tournaments. As for the once-mighty United States, well, this hasn’t exactly been its best year, forced into a playoff last November just to get to the World Cup and then losing to England for the first time in 23 years. Yet the Americans sure didn’t sound like underdogs as they headed to Germany, where they begin their quest for their first World Cup title since 1999 on June 28 against North Korea. The Women’s World Cup runs June 26 to July 17 in nine cities across Germany. “If we’re at our best, there’s not a team in the world that can beat us,” Abby Wambach said. The U.S. was, without question, the world’s best back in the days of Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Joy Fawcett, Kristine Lilly and Brandi Chastain. The U.S. women won two of the first three World Cups, along with the first Olympic gold medal in 1996. But the success of that team inspired other countries to pour resources into their programs, and the gap between the Americans and everybody else has narrowed considerably. Just look at the recent results. After going years without a single loss, the U.S. has had three since November. After sailing through regional qualifying, the Americans were stunned in the semifinals by Mexico, a team that had been 0-24-1 against the United States. The U.S. then had to beat Italy in a home-and-home playoff to earn a spot in the World Cup. The Americans also lost to Sweden in the opener at the Four Nations tournament, which they went on to win, and were beaten by England for the first time since 1988. “That’s a sign of how strong the sport has become,” captain

Christie Rampone said. “International teams have more money invested and more of a commitment to women’s soccer. The speed of play, the technical side of the game, it all has improved and so has the competition level. “There’s not a team out there you can overlook,” she added. “The game is more demanding. You have to make decisions quicker and read the game faster because of the speed everyone is playing at. If you are not locked in and focused, whoever you are playing, you almost have to be thinking three steps ahead when before you could get away with one or two.” As the rest of the world was improving, the Americans were struggling to create their own identity in the post-Golden Generation era. Instability in the head coaching position didn’t help, either. Former U.S. player April Heinrichs was not a great tactical coach, and had a poor record of developing young talent. Greg Ryan’s decision to start Brianna Scurry over Hope Solo in the semifinals of the 2007 World Cup probably cost the U.S. a shot at the title and, worse, threatened to destroy the tight bond that’s been a trademark of U.S. teams. Solo had posted three shutouts before being benched. Without her, the Americans were routed 4-0. After Solo blasted the decision, Ryan dismissed her from the World Cup. “I have no regrets. None. I don’t live with regrets,” Solo said. “You learn and you move on. I have.” Ryan was soon fired and replaced by Pia Sundhage. With unflinching optimism and a calm temperament, the Swede was quickly able to repair the fractures in the team chemistry. Solo was welcomed back to the team, and was invaluable as the U.S. upset Brazil for the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics. Equally important, Sundhage recognized that the U.S. had to become better tactically. She has put a premium on footwork and positioning, and the Americans are far more balanced under Sundhage. She has also brought on younger players, taking care not to put too many demands on them right away. Alex Morgan, for example, has shown an impressive ability to create chances and score — she has seven goals in her first 16 games, including the game winner in the first playoff game against Italy. But Sund-

hage prefers to use Morgan, who turns 22 on July 2, as a late sub so she only has to worry about getting to the goal, not a game’s worth of strategy. “I’ve been able to come off the bench and raise the energy level,” Morgan said, “add something different out there, maybe.” While the U.S. has been able to create plenty of chances, it has struggled to finish them, particularly in recent games. Morgan’s goal against Italy came in added time, and Lauren Cheney also scored in stoppage time to lift the U.S. to a 1-0 victory over Mexico in a June 5 send-off match. But Sundhage is not overly concerned about that. The team has addressed it, and will continue to do so. Besides, the U.S. had a similarly slow start in 2008, and that season ended pretty well. “I’m looking at chances and counting chances. This is a good team, eventually we’ll score a goal,” Sundhage said. “It’s not only the final ball or when we touch the ball. It’s more about how we create, because that’s something we can control.” The Americans drew perhaps the toughest group in Germany, playing World Cup newcomer Colombia (July 2, Sinsheim) and Sweden (July 6, Wolfsburg) in addition to North Korea. Sweden (fifth) and North Korea (eighth) are both ranked in the top 10; Germany is the only other seeded team with two top-10 opponents. The U.S. beat North Korea 3-0 in group play in both 1999 and 2003, but the teams tied 2-2 in 2007. And North Korea has been improving rapidly, winning the Under-20 World Cup in 2006 and the Under-17 World Cup in 2008, and finishing second to the Americans at the 2008 U-20 World Cup. Sweden is Europe’s second-best team, though it has struggled so far this year with losses in five of its nine matches. “The draw was a good thing for us, a tough draw,” Wambach said. “We’ve seen Sweden and North Korea before, we know what kind of challenge that will be, and that we’ll have to play our best to allow us to move forward in the tournament. I’ve talked with (teammates) about it, what everyone needs to do in order to win. You know, it comes down to playing well all the time and getting some lucky breaks. Really, luck plays so much into it. To win any championship in the world, you need some luck, too.’’

A light northerly wind today has lowered the humidity compared to what it was Saturday, and with an abundance of sunshine it's a day made to order for all the dads. With the summer solstice just two days away, the high sun angle makes for some very intense solar rays so keep the sunscreen handy and avoid getting a nasty burn. After very warm afternoon temperatures, later tonight will drop down into the 50s. But the heat will build next week for the ﬁrst few days of summer, and thunderstorms are possible each afternoon and evening. The outlook for July is for us to have temperatures and rainfall near normal. - Tom Clark

Tourists pack into an elevator at the Empire State Building in New York.

UPgrade coming to elevators of NYC landmark

By STEPHEN SINGER AP Business Writer

HARTFORD, Conn. — Everything is big with New York’s Empire State Building, so upgrading the 20th century elevators running up and down its 102 floors without disrupting thousands of office workers, visitors and tourists each day is no small task. The office and retail tower and Otis Elevator Co., the nation’s best-known elevator manufacturer, announced Thursday a partnership to replace and modernize the building’s elevators to bring them into the computer age and reduce passenger wait time. It’s the final phase of a $550 million renovation project. For the Empire State Building — among the world’s most photographed buildings, reproduced into countless paperweights and star of a 1933 movie with King Kong hanging from its side — the renovation caps its 80th year. And for Otis, which sold its first elevators in 1853 but now gets much of its business in China’s booming office construction market, working at the marquee office tower in midtown New York is as high profile as it gets. “When you’re young from another country you think of the Empire State Building,” said Didier Michaud-Daniel, Otis’ president who hails from France. “The Empire State Building is known worldwide, so in terms of image it’s a great opportunity for us to talk about what we’re going to do there.” The newly refurbished elevators promise quick and efficient rides to make the prized address even more attractive to tenants, who also are benefiting from upgraded lighting, heating and cooling and other systems. Anthony Malkin of the Empire State Building Co., which owns the tower, said his company has been leasing to tenants that occupy entire floors or multiple floors and expect premier appearances and service. “We’re touching on everything, restoring the Art Deco lobby to its original grandeur and a new energy-efficient system,” he said. Upgrading all 68 elevators and replacing 13-ton machines with new equipment while workers, tourists and others enter and leave will be a major effort. The elevators will carry nearly See ELEVATORS, Page 2D

Farmer Harry Golomb Jr. expresses his frustration over problems with excessive rainfall this spring.

Producing a delay

Excessive rainfall causes shortage of crops for Farmers’ Market By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

n Thursday, the 38th annual Wilkes-Barre Farmers’ Market will kick off the summer with a host of activities, vendors and farmers selling their early season crops. But, what will area farmers bring to the table after an unusually wet and rainy spring? A late planting season due to excessive rainfall in April and May has pushed many area farms a few weeks behind from having the volume and variety of vegetables, including cabbage, broccoli and onions, they normally harvest for market day. Some farmers said they will have produce on opening day. Others, including Lawrence O’Malia from O’Malia’s Farm and Greenhouse in Wilkes-Barre, will not. “All four of our tables will be filled with flowers from our greenhouses,” he said. O’Malia said his fields were completely flooded, three times, in April. “Our fields will flood when the river reaches 19 feet,” he said. “The river, in April, was cresting at 22 feet and higher.” Last year, O’Malia said he brought the most produce ever for the first day of the Wilkes-Barre Farmers’ Market. Other farmers also noted the devastating effects the wet first third of the year is having on their harvest.

Golomb shows the progress of his red beets.

with the National Weather Service in Binghamton, N.Y., reported in April, the Avoca weather station received 6.51 inches of rain. This is 3.23 inches above normal, he said. May received 4.41 inches of rain which was only .72 inches above normal. “April was clearly a very wet month,” Nadolski said. John Esslinger of Penn State Cooperative Extension services educator, said the rain caused a major problem with farms state-wide. “You just cannot get into the soil to till it,” Esslinger said. “Some farms were hit harder than others, depending on their type of soil and drainage.” Planting seeds in soil that is too wet will rot the seed, he said. But the fresh produce is coming, Esslinger said. “Prices may be a bit higher,” Esslinger said. “But the heat will bring it all along.” Two years ago, a rainy spring caused crops to be late, but cold temperatures created another problem for farmers, plant diseases, he said. This year is a little different, Esslinger said, the warmer temperatures are helping to prevent blight, a disease affecting crops. Ted Dymond of Dymond Farms in Dallas, said he has been farming all his life and he has never seen a spring, nationwide, like this.

Harold Golomb Jr., of Golomb Farm and Greenhouse in Plains Township, said he is about 10 days behind in his spring crops. “We could not plant normally in April,” he said. “Certain items may be late.” Some of his crops such as sugar snap peas are growing, though it’s too early to tell what the volume of the harvest will be.

IF YOU ARE approaching your late 40s, you probably are not going to like the view Harvard economics professor David Laibson provides of the future that’s creeping up on you and your parents. By the time you hit your late 50s, you are going to be peaking in your decisionmaking — a mixture of brainpower and experience, says Laibson. But after 65, you face a greater chance that you will be slipping a little on mathematical calculations. Half of people in their 80s will lose some of the cognitive edge they’ve cherished and will be at risk of being cheated on everything from credit cards to loans and investments. I’m not talking about Alzheimer’s or dementia, which Laibson says hits 30 percent of people in their 80s. Rather, it’s some lack of cognitive function — the type you detect earlier when you look for the car keys and can’t remember where you dropped them. Comedian Susan Vass draws huge laughter from seniors when she tells the story of her senior moments in middle age. She explains her disgust at going downstairs and forgetting why she headed there in the first place. She solved it by placing a table at the foot of the stairs with some cans of vegetables on it. Now, if she goes downstairs and forgets why she made the trip, she plucks a can of corn from the table. As she carries it upstairs she proudly tells herself she accomplished her mission. Although the story generates knowing laughter among wide age groups, the loss of more significant cognitive skills in retirement can be no laughing matter, including from a financial standpoint. And Laibson wants financial advisers and adult children to be prepared to step in where needed. “A person who was a great trader at 55 can be led at 85 to invest in a losing New Jersey mall,” said Laibson. The person is unlikely to realize they are fallible because “a lifetime of experience creates the sense of expertise.” Laibson and other researchers started exploring this when they discovered that older consumers were consistently paying more for financial products, such as loans and credit cards, than middle-aged people. Bad credit scores, low net worth or a high tendency to default on payments might have explained why people were charged more. But Laibson found that the seniors were simply being charged more because they were being sold poor products and didn’t evaluate them adequately. Young people are also sold unnecessary or overly expensive products, he said, because they lack experience. Middle-aged people get the best deals “because they negotiate. They’ve learned how to navigate the capitalistic system.” Laibson recently told financial advisers at a Morningstar investment conference that they need to be aware of this so they make sure elderly clients arrive at solid decisions. Research shows that older people lose about 3 percentage points of return on investments because they are paying excessive fees and have not diversified their investments, he said. Of course, part of the problem occurs because unscrupulous or ill-informed advisers guide elderly clients into highcommission products that benefit the adviser more than the client. This could be solved, said Laibson, if the government would regulate the financial-advice business — requiring that advisers to people with individual retirement accounts be fiduciaries. A fiduciary must put the client’s interest first — ahead of the adviser’s. The Securities and Exchange Commission has been evaluating whether to make a fiduciary standard mandatory, but insurance and investment firms have lobbied heavily against it. Laibson said, “We are ignoring people with IRAs,” the elderly people who need to make their lifetime savings last through retirement.

Malkin called it the largest elevator modernization of its kind in the world and Otis, a United Technologies Corp. subsidiary based in Farmington, Conn., says it’s the biggest in its 158-year history. The two sides did not disclose how much the contract, which includes a 10-year maintenance agreement, is worth. Michael Poon, director of technical support at Motion Control Engineering Inc., an elevator control manufacturer in Rancho Cordova, Calif., said elevator upgrades are common,

but the Otis-Empire State Building project is unusual for its size and complexity. With lifespans of 15 to 30 years, elevators require frequent upgrades to replace aging, inefficient equipment, he said. “It’s almost like upgrading your kitchen in your house,” he said. “The equipment is getting too old and too costly to maintain.” In addition, elevators have joined nearly all other equipment in the move from mechanical to digital, requiring improvements almost as frequent as computer upgrades, Poon said. Computers can efficiently direct elevators to where passengers are, shut elevators down to save energy and communicate with elevator oper-

Plains Township farmer Harry Golomb Jr. checks the progress of his red beets.

Fruit grower Paul Brace, from Braces Orchard in Dallas, said his crops were not as affected by the rainy spring as the vegetable farmers. “The rain does not affect the fruit trees,” he said. “It does wash off the spray used to prevent scabs from forming on apples.” If rain washes away the protective spray, then it has to be reapplied, Brace said. But so far, peaches and apples are growing very well, he said. “We are actually having to knock off some fruit to allow the rest of the fruit to continue growing,” Brace said. Brace an-

ticipates being able to bring sweet cherries, cider, and some apples to the market. Dymond is hoping the sunny weather will hold out and help his strawberries, black berries, and cherries ripen for market day. Golomb said the rainy weather was good for some vegetables such as beets and zucchini. He is anticipating his sweet corn, usually harvested shortly before July 4th, will be about 10 days late. “If it gets warm like it was, it will help make up time,” Golomb said. Knowing the challenges of this spring, O’Malia said he is looking forward to seeing what other farmers bring to market. “I want people to come and support the market,” O’Malia said. “The season is not lost, just delayed.”

ators who are becoming networking experts, he said. The Empire State Building’s design specifications and bidding process lasted more than a year in what Malkin called a “hotly competitive process.” Only three elevator manufacturers — Schindler, ThyssenKrupp and Otis — could credibly compete, he said. Otis came up with a novel and innovative staffing system, Malkin said. The project is a homecoming for Otis, which designed and installed the Empire State Building’s original elevators during the Depression. It will hire a full-time branch manager to run the project that is set to begin in November and be finished in March 2014. It will involve as many as 60 workers on two shifts a day, six days a

week. The number of tenants has declined to fewer than 200 from 561 since 2006 as tenants rent entire floors or multiple floors and the building’s management seeks larger and higher quality tenants, Malkin said. The renovations, including the new elevators, are part of the plan. The new elevators promise to route passengers better and reduce their wait times, Otis said. Michaud-Daniel said it’s probably the first time ever in a building this size that elevator equipment will be as good or better than those newly installed. “I’ve been working in the industry 30 years and for me, coming from France, it was a dream getting the Empire State Building back,” he said. “We’re extremely proud of it.”

Airlines are planning to reduce flights once summer ends. Some are already offering sales to fill their planes when vacation season is over. $15 billion over last year, according to a trade group. Airlines are preparing for the slower fall travel season. This week, JetBlue and AirTran rolled out sales that run into late 2011, indicating a need to fill seats. Henry Harteveldt, a travel-industry analyst for Forrester Research, said airlines could cut even more flights than currently planned, making it harder to find a cheap fare. Travelers say deals are already scarce, and that’s causing them to rethink travel plans. Larry and Carla Brock of Pittsburgh said they paid $840 for one round-trip ticket on US Airways to Texas, where one of their sons was graduating from surgical residency at a Dallas hospital. A companion pass made the trip financially bearable. That price “is kind of ridiculous,” Carla said. “If this (trip) was just a vacation, we’d have to think twice about it.”

Victor Padilla, a technology expert for an accounting firm in Dallas, said instead of his usual three or four weekend trips to visit friends in New York and Chicago, he’ll go just once or twice this year. Joan Spurlock, a physical therapist in Fort Worth, Texas, said her family’s flight to a summer vacation in Grand Cayman will cost $650 each in airfare, about one-third more than the same trip two years ago. Spurlock was taking her 14-year-old daughter, Jamie, to a dance competition in Florida this week, but her husband and another child were staying home because of the cost. “We’ll travel less often. It’s both higher fares and the economy,” she said. “Don’t get me started on gas prices — what a rip that is.”

er at Delta and American and traffic fell slightly at United and Continental. Whether their traffic was up or down, higher airfares boosted revenue. United Continental Holdings Inc. said revenue per seat jumped 14 to 15 percent from a year ago, and that doesn’t even include money from extra fees. The same measure was up 11 to 12 percent at Southwest Airlines Co. and a stunning 19 percent at JetBlue Airways Corp. The average flight in May was more than 83 percent full, an occupancy level unheard of a few years ago. And it could go higher in June, July and August. Since 2008, airlines have tightly controlled the number of seats for sale. That’s not only made flights fuller, it’s allowed the airlines to push fares higher. And they’re making more from fees — $5.7 billion last year from fees on checked bags and reservation changes, the government said this week. The airlines need a big summer to offset jet fuel costs, which are up about one-third from a year ago. If fuel stays at $3 a gallon, the industry’s bill for 2011 will be $54 billion, an increase of

DALLAS — This promises to be a moneymaking summer for airlines, with planes full of passengers paying higher fares than a year ago. But there could be a fall chill in the air. Leisure travelers say they’re cutting back on travel because of high-priced tickets, concern about the economy, and the need to spend more for everything from food to gasoline. Airlines are planning to reduce flights once summer ends. Some are already offering sales to fill their planes when vacation season is over. “We are worried about what happens after Labor Day,” says Helane Becker, an analyst for Dahlman Rose & Co. “We’re going to see less demand and more discounting.” Economists have lowered growth forecasts after a bunch of recent bad economic news. Unemployment remains above 9 percent. Retail sales are slumping for the first time in nearly a year. Becker worries that could foreshadow a drop in leisure travel, offsetting continued strength in business travel. People who bought their airline tickets before those grim headlines helped push May air traffic above last year’s levels, especially on international routes. Discount airlines including Southwest and JetBlue grabbed a bigger share of the U.S. market as vacationers and even business travelers tried to save money. Nancy Ruby, a customer-service trainer for a nationwide retailer, used to fly United but was taking Southwest from Dallas to Baltimore this week. “It’s not a corporate policy, but my company has encouraged us to book as far in advance as possible to get lower fares,” she said. And she’s been traveling on Southwest more often to avoid fees on checked bags and reservations changes. Travelers like Ruby helped Southwest boost its May traffic 10.9 percent over a year ago. JetBlue increased traffic 10.6 percent, but growth was much slow-

Searching for better airfares doesn’t have to be a gamble

Sewage pile, illegal dump on Calif. toxic tour list By GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press

THERMAL, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Community activists in Southern Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coachella Valley have been toiling for years along the eastern rim of this crescent-shaped breadbasket to spread the word about the abandoned waste dumps, shoddy migrant housing and overburdened recycling facilities that are a fact of life in this poor, farmworker community. Their work paid off last month, when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and state regulators cracked down on a soil recycling plant that was blamed by air quality officials for a putrid stench that sickened dozens of children and teachers at a nearby school. Now, the groups are taking advantage of that national spotlight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a visit from U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to press for similar action at other toxic sites that dot the remote valley, from an abandoned and illegal dump to a mountain of human sewage that locals dubbed Mt. San Diego because it was trucked in from San Diego County. Activists will take state lawmakers and state and federal regulatory officials on an â&#x20AC;&#x153;environmental justiceâ&#x20AC;? bus tour Friday with stops at a laundry list of sites that represent potential environmental hazards. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second such tour the group has organized this year since forming an environmental task force that includes officials from all levels of government, with the goal of improving living conditions in the sun-baked Coachella Valley. The tour on Friday precedes a state legislative committee hearing on environmental safety and toxins that will be held at the local high school here. The federal crackdown on soil recycler Western Environmental, Inc., which sits on tribal land, was the first major success after a coalition of civil rights and migrant advocacy groups began using an evolving strategy, said Megan Beaman, an attorney with California Rural Legal Assistance Inc. The group used to try to make its point by filing lawsuits against major polluters or negligent landlords but recently realized thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

not enough, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a lot more people at the table and a lot more resources,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking at this as an opportunity to create a model of enforcement ... that will carry on to other places in our community and around the state.â&#x20AC;? The valley roughly 130 miles southeast of Los Angeles is wellknown for the glitzier cities such as Palm Springs and Palm Desert that sit on its western edge, but dusty towns to the east like Mecca, Thermal and Indio skirt the northern tip of the Salton Sea and seem a world away from the fairways and swimming pools of their neighbors. Farmworkers, many of them migrants, toil in the agricultural fields that define this heavily irrigated region and come home to dangerously overcrowded trailer parks with limited septic systems and jerryrigged electrical systems. Recycling plants, dumps and other businesses unwelcome in more metropolitan areas set up shop years ago in the eastern valley and continue to present health hazards. In March, the newly formed environmental task force ramped up an online site where residents can log in and document environmental hazards in their community, including unexplained

fumes and pollution, said Beaman, whose group is one of the main organizations working in the valley. Both the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;toxic toursâ&#x20AC;? and the online site are ideas borrowed from the nearby Imperial Valley, where poor and mostly migrant residents deal with similar issues, she said. The online log of residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; complaints has been used there to identify safety issues previously unknown to regulators, organizers say, and they hope it will have the same effect in the Coachella Valley. Darryl Adams, the interim superintendent of the Coachella Valley Unified School District, moved to the region a year ago and took the first bus tour that activists offered earlier this year. He signed up after students at one of his elementary schools in Mecca were sickened by fumes that were later traced to Western Environmental, whose facilities are visible from the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playground. Adams said he was stunned by the things he saw on the tour, especially the living conditions in the migrant encampments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could not believe what I saw and ever since that day itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been my purpose in life ... to eventually do something about those living conditions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why is the eastern Coachella Valley being

seen as a dump site or a recycling place when you have people in homes and the agricultural industry out here? Why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something being done out here?â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The EPA issued an order last month that temporarily shut down Western Environmental after dozens of children at the school got sick from a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rotten eggâ&#x20AC;? smell that had drifted across the community on and off for months. The order temporarily bans Western from accepting new shipments of soil contaminated with petroleum and other hazardous substances and instructed the company to reduce and cover 40-foot-tall piles of dirt that lined the property it leases from the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians. Western, which has taken steps to address the order, has challenged the findings of regulators who traced the stench to its operations. It is working with regulators to reopen. It was to be one of about a halfdozen sites visited by the environmental tour planned by community activists. Other likely stops include a tire recycling facility where a fire broke out last month; the human sewage pile; an abandoned dump on land owned by the Torres Martinez Band of Mission Indians and a migrant housing camp.

MarketPulse ADMITTING WEAKNESS Even hospitals are seeing a “soft patch” this spring. Total inpatient admissions fell 1.5 percent in May from last year, according to a survey by Citi Investment Research. That’s worse than the 0.4 percent drop in April. It also mirrors a slowdown across the economy, as shown in soft data reports since May. The weak job market means more people are without health insurance. It also has people delaying plastic surgery and other elective procedures. That means investors should expect fewer for-profit hospital companies to beat earnings expectations this quarter, says Citi analyst Gary Taylor.

A RECORD, REALLY? It doesn’t feel like it, but a report this week will show the economy is at a record high. Before the recession, the economy at its peak totaled $13.36 trillion in inflation-adjusted dollars. Economists expect Fridays’ report, the government’s final reading on first-quarter growth, to show the economy at $13.4 trillion. It actually surpassed its old peak late last year and has kept going thanks to exports. That’s one reason why Credit Suisse strategists are still positive on stocks. The economy is back to a record, and analysts expect corporate profits to also hit a peak this year. Yet the S&P 500 ended the week 19 percent below its 2009 peak.

BUY SIGNAL? Individual investors are close to their gloomiest in months. Just 24 percent on June 9 felt stocks would rise over the next six months, according to a survey by the American Association of Individual Investors. Nearly half, 48 percent, said stocks would fall. The good news: The last time investors were that bearish was August, just before the market bottomed. The S&P 500 rose 30 percent from the end of August through April. Some analysts say today’s pessimism could again be a positive contrarian signal. But one big difference exists: Last time, the Federal Reserve got stocks to rise by announcing a $600 billion bond-buying program. Many economists don’t see that happening again.

Floating higher When interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Well, most of them do. Floating rate bonds have interest rates that reset periodically. That means when interest rates rise, so do the yields of floating rate bonds. The ability to reset means prices for “floaters” aren’t affected by changes in interest rates. That also means investors worried about the threat of rising interest rates have been flooding into floating-rate debt. Many floating rate mutual funds invest in loans that banks make to borrowers whose rates reset every few months. Prices for these bank loans have climbed so much that David Hillmeyer, a portfolio manager at Delaware Investments, is focusing on other types of floating rate debt.

InsiderQ&A

Where are interest rates headed? (Short-term interest rates are) anchored right now. But if (confidence in U.S. Treasurys) at all starts to wane, rates are going to move Hillmeyer higher, regardless of what growth expectations are. Greece is an extreme example. Once confidence goes, all bets are off. I think the U.S. is not a Greece, but (should 10-year Treasury rates rise from their current 3 percent to) 5 percent or 6 percent? And that’s how investors of floating rate products are thinking now.

Too Pretty

Ulta's profit and stock price have surged, even though a weak job market is restraining the overall economy. 150 percent

Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance’s stock keeps getting prettier. But investors may want to wait for it to fade a bit before buying. The stock is up 67 percent in 2011 through Thursday, whipping the S&P 500’s gain of 1 percent. It did even better the last two years, rising 119 percent in 2009 and 87 percent in 2010. The reason is that the seller of cosmetics, perfumes and hair products offers something in short supply: strong growth. The company’s net income jumped 71 percent to $23.3 million last quarter. It was the 10th straight quarter the company beat analysts’ expectations. Key to Ulta’s growth is that its 394 stores offer both lower-end and premium brands. That means customers can buy $1.99 mascara during downturns. When times are better, they can stay at the same store and move up to $49 Lashatone mascara. Ulta plans to open 61 stores this fiscal year, which ends in January. All the stores also include full-service salons. Analysts expect Ulta’s earnings per share to climb 40 percent this fiscal year. The company also has zero long-term debt. The problem, some analysts say, is that the stock has climbed so much. Its stock trades at 32 times its expected earnings over the next 12 months. That compares with just 16 times for Body Central, which owns the Body Shop stores, and 11 times for Regis, which owns Supercuts. Jefferies analyst Randal Konik says Ulta’s stock deserves a higher price-to-earnings ratio given its “take your breath away” growth - but not much more than it has now. He recommends waiting for a pullback before buying. SOURCE: FactSet

The 10-year Treasury’s yield stayed below 3 percent last week, at one point hitting its lowest level for the year. Stocks fell early in the week, which sent investors rushing for safer investments. That drove up the price of bonds, which moves opposite yields. Mortgage rates were flat. The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage ticked up from a yearly low of 4.49 percent to 4.5 percent.

When people invest in bank loans, what are they buying? Are these loans for leveraged buyouts, or LBOs, where people are borrowing to buy companies? LBOs have played a role, but they’re not nearly as large as they were in ‘06. It’s just more typical high yield type borrowers that are hitting the loan market, small businesses.

And popularity for bank loans has been surging? You have seen so much money come into the asset class over the last six to nine months that it’s driven valuations, arguably in some cases, through fundamental values. That’s why we want to look and consider other alternatives in the marketplace, away from bank loans.

How long have you been shifting away from bank loans? We’ve been doing that over the last two months. We’ve been letting that exposure roll off, and we’ve been moving up in quality. (Bank loans are rated as below investment grade credit quality.) So if not bank loans, what are you looking at? Investment grade corporates. One of the things we’re comfortable with as a firm is corporate balance sheets. We’ve got a lot of (cash) on corporate balance sheets. There’s good value. How often do the interest rates reset on those investment-grade corporate bonds? It depends. Generally, you’re going to see one-month or three month resets. A floating rate bond’s price isn’t affected by changes in interest rates, but can it still fluctuate? Absolutely, it can. People got very comfortable over the last decade, up until the blowup in ‘07, that bank loans had a relatively stable (price), that if you invest in bank loans, it was spitting off some income and was fairly predictable. I think as the asset class developed over the years, and grew in size and scope, the institutional investors played a larger role in it. Trading volumes increased, and you’ve seen price volatility enter into it. People forget this part of the equation, the credit quality issue. So, how should investors think of floating rate bonds, in terms of risk? I guess it depends on whether you’re looking at it from interest rate risk or credit risk. On credit risk, I’d put it between investment-grade bonds and high-yield bonds. On interest rate risk, it’s at the front end (of the safety spectrum).

Fishing for stocks with high ROE

Want to find high-quality stocks? Take a look at a company’s return on equity. That’s a measure of how well a company reinvests its earnings every year. Companies with a high ROE tend to be stable, consistent performers that generate lots of cash for investors. This screen, powered by FactSet, identifies companies in the S&P 500 that have had a ROE above 20 percent for each of the past five years. The average return on equity for the S&P 500 is about 17. All of the companies pay a dividend, and their stocks have outperformed the S&P 500 this year. They also look cheap based on their price-to-earnings ratios. Each stock has a P/E below 15, the average for the S&P 500. Cigarette maker Altria Group tops the list. The company has a return on equity of 84 percent based on its results over the past year. It also has a dividend yield of 5.6 percent, one of the largest in the S&P. The stock has SOURCE: FactSet

Better Than a 401(k) Your 401(k), 403(b) or 457 plan may not be your single best bet for retirement savings. Economists Laurence J. Kotlikoff and Jagadeesh Gokhale, for example, have suggested that many investors would have more money in retirement if they contributed to accounts other than 401(k)s. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because withdrawals from 401(k) accounts are taxed as ordinary income, instead of at the lower capital gains rates for long-term holdings. The withdrawals can also push retirees into higher tax brackets. Qualified Roth IRA withdrawals, meanwhile, are tax-free. If your employer matches your retirement plan contributions, Kotlikoff and Gokhale advise contributing enough to take full advantage of that free money. After that, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably better off putting your next dollars in a Roth IRA, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eligible, to the maximum allowed. (If your employer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer a match, you might contribute the maximum amount to a Roth IRA before even considering another option.)

Assets in an employer-sponsored plan (and in a traditional IRA, for that matter) must start being distributed by the time the account owner turns 70 1/2, whether the money is needed or not. The account owner loses the benefit of tax-deferral on money withdrawn. With a Roth IRA, however, if the money isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t needed, it can continue to grow, tax-free, no matter how old you get. Also, withdrawals from work plans and traditional IRAs before the account owner is age 59 1/2 result in immediate taxation and a 10 percent penalty. Some plans allow participants to borrow from their plans, but many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Contributions to (but not earnings in) a Roth IRA may be withdrawn anytime, penalty- and tax-free. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also true for earnings withdrawn for first-time home purchases as long as the money has been in the account for at least five tax years. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always a smart thing to do, but if you need the money, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there. Of course, everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation is different, and tax laws can change over time.

Rolling Reminders

Shareholders Matter

About 12 years ago, I was living in the San Francisco area, where Webvan, the grocery-delivery e-commerce service, was getting a lot of positive buzz (as was everything else that ended in â&#x20AC;&#x153;.comâ&#x20AC;?). So I gave it a try as a customer and absolutely loved the concept and service. I wrongly believed that a great customer experience correlated with a sound business plan. Then, when the stock started dropping, I saw that as a great opportunity to snap up even more shares. That was a $60,000 lesson. Ouch. In the years that followed, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d occasionally see old Webvan delivery vehicles being driven around. Whenever I did, I viewed them as rolling reminders of how not to invest. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; R.G., Hudson, Ohio The Fool Responds: Investors in Webvan were excited about its promise, but before it went bankrupt in 2001, it was serving only 10 markets. You might have loved it in San Francisco, but most of the country had yet to experience it. Getting in early can sometimes pay off, but waiting for proven performance and financial stability can also pay off, with less risk. Do you have an embarrassing lesson learned the hard way?

For many years, the financial world just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about shareholdersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opinions. If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like your stockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance or policies, you supposedly had two options: Sell it or shut up about it. Somewhere along the way, everyone seemed to forget that owning shares makes you part-owner of a public company. But now, at long last, shareholders are starting to remember that their opinions count. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Say-on-payâ&#x20AC;? votes are now mandatory, for example, and reports of shareholders rejecting outrageous CEO pay keep rolling in. Although a minority of companies have had their compensation plans rejected, the pay plans that do get shot down show that shareholders are finally starting to speak their minds. Shareholders arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confining their complaints to compensation, either. A group of investors including the AFLCIO, the trustee of New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest pension fund, and Trillium Asset Management recently urged Chevron to settle litigation related to alleged environmental damage in Ecuador. Corporations wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t improve on their own. If your company is pursuing dubious tactics to muzzle your fellow investors, engaging in poor practices, or paying its top executives more than their performance actually merits, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suffer in silence, or surrender and sell out. Vote your proxy ballots, call your companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investor relations department, and raise as much ruckus as you can. (Motley Fool newsletter services have recommended Chevron.)

Disregard That Purchase Price

I bought a stock near its all-time high. Should I hold on, or sell it? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A.G., West Palm Beach, Fla. The price you paid for the stock is important when you sell it and calculate your gain (or loss) for tax purposes. But most of the time, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about it too much. What really matters is the current price and your estimate of the stockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true fair price. For example, imagine you bought shares of Carrier Pigeon Communications (ticker: SQUAWK) for $60 each and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now trading for $40 each. If you think the shares are worth $50, you should probably hang on. If you think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worth less than $40, selling might be best. Ignore the fact that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down $20 per share. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d bought the shares for $10 each, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be up $30 per share, but your thinking should be the same â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hang on if you think more growth is ahead, and sell if you expect the shares to falter. Never hang on to a stock just in the hope of recouping your losses. You can always try to make your money back in another stock, ideally one in which you have much more confidence. *** Which mutual funds pay the most money to shareholders? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; D.P., Decatur, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Incomeâ&#x20AC;? funds aim to spit out cash regularly by investing mainly in securities that pay interest or dividends. Other kinds of funds (such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;growthâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;valueâ&#x20AC;? ones) typically aim to reward shareholders mainly via stock price appreciation.

Weiner resigns after social media and politics collide

OPINION CARL LEUBSDORF

Of solstice, Sukanya Roy and Santorum

GOP debate sounds like an echo chamber

IN TWO DAYS THE sun will reach its annual zenith somewhere around 1:16 p.m. You will want to find a good reason to be out walking when the Earth is tilted most toward the sun, just over 23 degrees, giving us the longest period of daylight in the planet’s previous 364 rotations. In that time of course there were 52 weeks, 50 “In the Arena” columns and many more interesting topics than there are Sundays. For instance … SUKANYA ROY and I first met on Feb. 5 of this year when she visited Wyoming Seminary to take an exam, tour its lovely campus and enjoy an afternoon lunch. During her subsequent interview Sukanya held her own before a distinguished panel of Sem faculty and administrators. Not quite 14 at the time, Sukanya, of South Abington, fielded an array of questions with intelligence, charm, humor, humility, excitement and grace. In March she won the 2011 Times Leader/Scripps Northeast Pennsylvania Regional Spelling Bee for the third consecutive year. Earlier this month she was crowned the 84th Scripps National Spelling Bee Champion live on ESPN. Afterward, Sukanya and her parents were invited to the White House and spent time in the Oval Office with President Barack Obama. I’ve never met the president, but I’ve met Sukanya and, despite the whirlwind, she maintains her grace, humility and charm. Excitement continues to build in the 11th District around the possible candidacy of Democrat Bill Vinsko for Congress. Vinsko, 36, of Wilkes-Barre, is a 1997 graduate of King’s College and holds a master’s degree in public administration from Penn State University. He went on to receive his juris doctorate from the Dickinson School of Law in 2000 and is the managing principal of his own law practice. Married and the father of three, the charismatic Vinsko is extremely bright and speaks with conviction about creating jobs in Northeastern Pennsylvania for the individuals and families living here. Last week I sat down to talk with him and, unlike candidates of the past, Vinsko represents a new generation of leadership. Should he run, this type of intelligent, energetic and well-spoken candidacy, coupled with his genuine sincerity, could be a Republican’s worst nightmare. Did you watch Tuesday’s Republican presidential debate from Saint Anselm College in Manchester, N.H.? It was perhaps more consequential than many of us thought possible. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, each of whom had an opportunity to shine on a national stage, fell terribly flat. Moderator John King of CNN gave each an opportunity to score against former Massachusetts governor and Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney, yet both demurred, appearing weak, and no doubt sent contributors racing toward the exits and the campaigns of other candidates. At times, Santorum looked downright melancholy. Gazing at his shoes more than the camera, he paled standing next to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who by comparison came off as the happy warrior, positive and even somewhat knowledgeable. Santorum is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He knows his issues, cares about them deeply and the debates should have been his passport to the top tier of GOP contenders. Instead, this first New Hampshire forum probably ended any hope he had of inching even remotely close to the nomination. When asked the lighthearted question, “Leno or Conan?” (a different one was posed to each candidate) Santorum fumbled, stumbled, eventually choosing Leno before awkwardly and unnecessarily injecting that he doesn’t watch either – as if some on the fringe might object. More important, enjoy the impending summer solstice, and Happy Father’s Day!

THE ORGANIZERS of Monday night’s Republican debate apparently knew what they were doing when they lined up presidential hopefuls across New Hampshire’s St. Anselm College stage in a way that reflected the contest’s pecking order and ideological shape. In the center — politically, ideologically and physically — was former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, looking very much the early frontrunner polls say he is. Placed on the ends by the main sponsor, CNN, were former Sen. Rick Santorum and businessman Herman Cain, probably the most ideologically extreme in the solidly conservative field. In between, two who seem more like interesting curiosities than true contenders — Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich — and two Minnesotans who might have the best chances in this field of overtaking Romney. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Rep. Michele Bachmann may have provided the first major debate’s lasting significance. Pawlenty, touted by many Republicans as potentially Romney’s top challenger, underscored his weak persona by refusing to repeat criticism of the latter’s Massachusetts health care plan. By contrast, tea party favorite Bachmann, who combines a Sarah Palin-like personal appeal with a more traditional political approach, made a stronger impression by speaking directly and knowledgeably on the issues. The two Minnesotans loom as major rivals in next-door Iowa’s caucuses before New Hampshire’s primary. The debate generally resembled an echo chamber, as participants repeatedly attacked President Barack Obama and avoided criticizing each another. They showed some differences on social issues, including how the federal government should combat legalized gay marriage in states like New Hampshire, and whether to overturn Obama’s decision ending the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for gays. Santorum said he would repeal Obama’s policy. Cain and Paul said they wouldn’t. Romney, Bachmann, Gingrich and Pawlenty said they would rely on the military’s evaluation of the changes. On economic issues, all favored cutting taxes and repealing Obama’s health plan. But Romney got a pass — and Pawlenty missed a chance — when CNN moderator John King asked him to repeat his weekend criticism linking the two plans as “Obamneycare.” “I just cited President Obama’s own words that he looked to Massachusetts as a blueprint,” Pawlenty said. Romney defended his plan as a state solution to a problem. He said he can’t wait to debate Obama and ask, if he paid such attention to Massachusetts, “Why didn’t you give me a call and asked what worked and what didn’t?” Pawlenty’s rivals refused to build on widespread criticism that his economic plan was unrealistic in assuming 5 percent annual GDP growth. “I think we need a president who is optimistic,” Santorum said. Pawlenty insisted “this idea we can’t have 5 percent growth is hogwash,” even though reaching that level is rare. Romney reflected his experience, showing he understands consistent message is a key to debate success, and repeatedly blasted Obama’s economic record. But one answer could dog him in the crucial Midwestern industrial states, his defense of his 2008 comment that if the federal government bailed out U.S. automakers, “you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye.” Presidential debates often give the mistaken impression one person can single-handedly reverse U.S. policies. Gingrich, the closest thing to a truthteller, essentially repeated his prior political assessment of the controversial GOP Medicare plan: “If you can’t convince the American people it’s a good idea, maybe it’s not a good idea.” And he observed that to achieve its goals, the GOP needs to gain 12 Senate seats and 30 to 40 in the House — as well as win the presidency.

New York Rep. Anthony Weiner leaves the press conference he called to announce his resignation Thursday in New York City.

RISKY BUSINESS By DAVID LIGHTMAN AND WILLIAM DOUGLAS McClatchy Newspapers

ASHINGTON — Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., resigned from Congress on Thursday in the wake of a sexting scandal, abruptly halting a once-promising political career and serving as a somber warning to lawmakers about dealing with the ever-changing social media world. Weiner, 46, quit after a deafening drumbeat for his resignation, a clamor that reached to the Oval Office, as President Barack Obama strongly suggested it was time for the seven-term congressman to go.

A grim Weiner made his exit at a Brooklyn, N.Y., senior center. Weiner recalled growing up with a mother who taught school for 32 years and a father who went to law school on the GI Bill. “The middle-class story of New York is my story,” Weiner said, “and I’m very proud of that.” But now, he said, “I’m here today to again apologize for the personal mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused. I make this apology for my neighbors and my constituents but I made it particularly for my wife, Huma.” Huma Abedin is a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She wasn’t by Weiner’s side at the news conference. Weiner said he wanted to “fight for the middle class and those struggling to make it, but unfortunately the distraction that I have created has made that impossible, so today I’m announcing my resignation from Congress.” He took no questions. This drama abruptly changed Weiner’s fortunes. Before the controversy erupted nearly three weeks ago, he

was a serious candidate to become the next mayor of New York in 2013. But his stature began to crumble with the news that a Bellingham, Wash., college student had received a sexually suggestive photo from Weiner’s Twitter account. Weiner denied sending it, saying the account had

been hacked, and he clung to that explanation for a few days. As more texts, and then suggestive photos of the congressman, surfaced, he conceded at a news conference June 6 in New York that he’d sent the photo and lied about its origin. House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called for a House Ethics Committee probe. The story wouldn’t die. More revelations surfaced, including messages to a 17-year-old Delaware girl. Last Saturday, Weiner sought a leave of absence and said he’d seek treatment. Pelosi called for him to step down. On Monday, Obama told NBC, “I can tell you that if it was me, I would resign.” But perhaps a more lasting lesson from the Weiner incident, said Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., was: “Tell the truth. If you can’t tell the truth, leave immediately.” Added Pelosi: “Congressman Weiner exercised poor judgment in his actions and poor judgment in his reaction to the revelations. Today, he made the right judgment in resigning.”

Students, lawmakers question value of for-profit college By DANIEL LIPPMAN and LYDIA MULVANY McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Taryn Zychal thought she’d be working as an industrial designer after graduating from the Art Institute of Philadelphia. Instead, it’s the debt collection agencies that are working overtime, calling her nearly 30 times a day from 8:30 in the morning to 9:30 at night. The 27-year-old says she has around $150,000 due

in loan payments from attending the private, forprofit university, but Zychal said she couldn’t get a job in her chosen field, and not one of her credits would transfer when she tried to switch to another school. With what she says is a useless degree, she can’t pay her loans, which cost $1,500 a month. “I don’t think I learned anything at the Art Institute other than how to get scammed by somebody. I

don’t think I learned anything to go into an entrylevel job in my field,” Zychal said. The Art Institute’s parent company, Education Management Corp., declined to comment. There are about 2,000 colleges operating in the U.S. as profit-seeking businesses eligible for federal student aid. They offer various degrees, both online and on campus, from certificates and two-year associates degrees to

MBAs. Some for-profits — such as Kaplan, owned by The Washington Post Co.; Bridgepoint Education; and the Apollo Group, which owns the University of Phoenix — are publicly traded corporations. Because Zychal’s story is similar to thousands of other students who’ve attended certain for-profit colleges, the Obama administration in early June approved new regulations See COLLEGE, Page 6E

QUOTE OF THE DAY “As drilling increases, I anticipate, at least in the short term, a proportionate increase in concerns and complaints which the department must be prepared to address.” Eli Avila Pennsylvania’s Health Secretary told the Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission on Friday that he wants to create a registry to track illnesses in communities near heavy natural gas drilling to determine what kind of impact, if any, the activity has on public health.

OTHER OPINION: ONLINE RECORDS

Wills on Web are public asset

LLEGHENY County’s Court Records Department will take a huge leap into the Internet age in the next few months, when wills and some related documents that already are public will become accessible online. This is the final, logical step in the evolution of a department that, until voters changed the setup in 2005, included the register of wills, a clerk of courts for criminal records and a prothonotary for civil court documents – each of whom was elected. Voters weren’t the only ones confused by the row offices and having to choose the people to run them. It was President Harry Truman, while in Pittsburgh, who famously asked, “What the hell is a prothonotary?” Things have really changed, and for the better. Criminal and civil court records as well as real estate transactions already are available online, and county officials decided that

wills and probate records should be as well. Not all public documents will be included, however, and it seems county officials have made the right exceptions. The inventories that describe in detail the assets of an estate, as well as inheritance tax returns, are public records that will continue to be available at the City-County Building, but they won’t be online. For those concerned about keeping the release of information about assets private, it’s important to remember there are ways to avoid having a will go through the public process of probate. In addition, a judge can decide to seal a will or other record for cause, an option that we think should be exercised sparingly. Instead, as Eric Feder, the records department’s deputy director put it, the more access to public records the better. That, he said, is “how government is supposed to work.” Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Pawlenty’s got plenty of guts, but is that enough? THE REPUBLICANS’ confused assortment of announced presidential candidates – as well as unannounced candidates and distant possibilities of candidates – seems to be clarifying somewhat. The withdrawal of Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee, as well as the withdrawal of much of Newt Gingrich’s staff, seems like a much-needed weeding-out process. Although Mitt Romney has been leading in the polls, his lead over other potential rivals has been slim. Being a “front-runner” this far ahead of next year’s nominating convention would not mean much, even if Gov. Romney’s lead and his support were much bigger than they are. The albatross around Romney’s neck is the “RomneyCare” medical plan that he signed into law in Massachusetts. His refusal to repudiate it means that, as a presidential candidate, he would forfeit one of the strongest arguments against Barack Obama, who has “ObamaCare” as his albatross. Nor is an about-face on “RomneyCare” a viable option for Romney. He already has done too many other about-faces for the voters. He has painted himself into a corner. Articulate Newt Gingrich might be the best Republican to go toe-to-toe with Obama in presidential debates – and a lack of effective articulation has been the Republicans’ big

first impressions, carry a lot of weight. But somebody has got to talk sense about our dire economic problems – and it is painfully clear that Obama will not be that someTHOMAS SOWELL body. The fact that Pawlenty has put his neck on the line to do so is a big plus. Pawlenty cites his track record to back up weakness for years. Try to name a Republican renowned for his articulation, besides Ronald his statements. That includes reducing ethanol subsidies when he was governor of MinneReagan, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham sota and cutting the growth of state governLincoln. ment spending from more than 20 percent a While Gingrich is not at that level, he is definitely a cut above most Republican candi- year to under 2 percent. Gov. Pawlenty fought Minnesota’s transit dates. He also represents a cherished moment unions over runaway pensions and hung in Republican history, when they took the tough during a long strike. “Today,” he says, House of Representatives for the first time in “we have a transit system that gives commu40 years, as a result of Gingrich’s “Contract ters a ride, without taking the taxpayers for a with America” election strategy.

Politicians and the media might want a attempt to bring some fiscal sanity to Washcandidate with verbal fireworks, but the peoington – to be trusted. ple want jobs.

COMMENTARY

That degree doesn’t always add up to lessons learned NOW THAT graduation season is upon us, here’s one last test question for the high school students: Have you ever seen the painting of a pipe by Rene Magritte? It’s called “The Treachery of Imagery,” and if you haven’t had art history, I’ll describe it. It’s just a painting of a pipe, really, except that at the bottom it says, in French, “This is not a pipe.” What can such a caption mean? Obviously, what’s portrayed is a pipe. But Magritte is trying to remind us that his painting is just a picture of a pipe – an image that cannot be stuffed with tobacco or smoked – and that’s a crucial distinction. It’s one worth pondering now that many of you are about to go off to college, because there is an equally crucial distinction to be drawn between a degree and an education. Yet everyone is so focused on the former that an awful lot of young people are graduating without the latter. The problem is that we’ve confused the two – mistaken credentials for knowledge, and time in school for learning. It’s a tragic mistake. And it’s a mistake the marketplace is unlikely to make for long. Already, credential inflation has set in. As college degrees have become more plenti-

Power of the unions holds back free trade “SHOVELready was not as shovelready as we expected,” observed President Obama last week, enjoying a nice chuckle about the unhappy fate of his near-$1 trillion stimulus. To be sure, Obama also has been promoting a less amusing remedy for anemic growth and high unemployment: exports. In this year’s State of the Union address, he proclaimed a national goal of doubling exports by 2014. One obvious way to increase exports is through free-trade agreements. But unions don’t like them. No surprise then that for two years Obama has been sitting on three free-trade agreements – with Colombia, Panama and South Korea – already negotiated by his predecessor. Under the pressure of dire economic conditions and of the consequences of stiffing three valued allies, Obama appeared ready to relent – only to put up a last-minute roadblock. He’s demanding an expansion of Trade Adjustment Assistance – taxpayer money (beyond unemployment compensation) given to workers displaced by foreign competition, something denied to Americans rendered unemployed by domestic competition. It’s an idea of dubious fairness but nicely designed to hold up ratification, while placing blame on Republican heartlessness rather than on political sabotage by Democrats beholden to unions for the millions they pour into Democratic coffers. Nothing new here. In 2009, Obama pushed through a federally run, questionably legal, bankruptcy for the auto companies that robbed first-in-line creditors in order to bail out the United Auto Workers. Elsewhere, Delta Air Lines workers have voted four times to reject unionization. But Democratic fealty to unions does not stop there. Boeing has just completed a production facility in South Carolina for its new 787 Dreamliner. The National Labor Relations Board, stacked with Democrats – including one former union lawyer considered so partisan that he required a recess appointment after the Senate refused to confirm him – is trying to get the plant declared illegal. Why? Because by choosing right-to-work South Carolina, Boeing is accused of retaliating against its unionized Washington state workers for

COMMENTARY CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER previous strikes. In fact, Boeing has increased unionized employment by more than 2,000 at its Puget Sound plant. Moreover, the idea that a company in a unionized state can thus be prohibited from expanding into right-to-work states by a partisan regulatory body is quite insane. It violates the fundamental principle in a free-market economy that companies can move and build in response to market conditions, rather than administrative fiat. Obama has been utterly silent in the Boeing affair. Which is understood by all as tacit approval. He’s facing reelection next year. And Democrats need unions. Of course, unions need Democrats – who deliver quite faithfully. In last year’s nationwide “shellacking” of Democrats, for example, Wisconsin gave Republicans control of both legislative chambers and elected a Republican governor who made clear his intention to rein in public-sector union power. When the Republicans tried to do as promised, Democrats, lacking the votes, tried to block it by every extra-parliamentary maneuver short of arson. State Senate Democrats fled Wisconsin to prevent a quorum. Demonstrators filled the statehouse for days and nights on end. And when the bill finally passed nonetheless, Dane County’s Democratic district attorney went to court to have it thrown out on procedural grounds. They found a pliant judge to invalidate the law. A famous victory, but short-lived. On Tuesday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court overturned the ruling, upbraiding the judge for having “usurped the legislative power which the Wisconsin Constitution grants exclusively to the Legislature.” The law is reinstated. The Wisconsin maneuver ultimately failed, as likely will the assault on Boeing. In the interim, however, there is collateral damage – to U.S. exports, to the larger economy, to bankruptcy law, to free trade, to a constitutional system wherein the legislatures make the laws, rather than willful judges and partisan regulators. But what are those when there are unions to appease and elections to win? Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@charleskrauthammer.com.

S ome days, all that any of us really need is a little push.

Pants are no place for a ‘private’ photo shoot DON’T GET me wrong. I love cameras. I really do. I just don’t have the desire to stick one down my pants. Call me crazy. I thought that when you took a picture, you had to step back, look through the viewfinder and say, “One, two, three!” Given former Congressman Anthony Weiner’s subject matter, you’d have to be a contortionist. Since when did our private parts constitute a photo? Didn’t a photo used to be Mount Rushmore? Times Square? Your kids on the way to the prom? Not anymore. Weiner (and I’m sorry, but the name alone makes this story embarrassing) has given new meaning to “flash photography.” The disgraced Democratic U.S. representative and wannabe mayor of New York City has been embroiled in a fiasco of his own texting, sending lewd pictures of himself to admiring fans. And to think, folks used to be happy with an autograph. Now, I won’t ponder whether Weiner should survive this. Between Charlie Sheen, Newt Gingrich, Tiger Woods and Eliot Spitzer, I am convinced

COMMENTARY MITCH ALBOM that Americans will forgive you anything but boredom. So the fact that Weiner was seemingly fascinated by his own naked image, that he played peekaboo like a kid in a sandbox, that he actually prefaced a dirty photo with a text that said, “Wanna see?” – none of it really concerns me, because (1) I’m not voting for the guy, (2) I’m still in shock and (3) I am worried, selfishly, about something else. When did I get SO OUT OF TOUCH? Honestly. There are many wrongs that I can at least understand. There are temptations that I – and we all – struggle to resist. But never did I look at a camera and go, “Hmmm ...” He took pictures of what? Somebody explain this to me. It’s not just the recently resigned congressman. Could Brett Favre, Mr. All About Football, really have texted an image of his privates to a New York Jets employee? He once seemed so ... sensible. On a radio show, I recently spoke to a woman who had returned to the dating scene

after years of marriage. She claimed she receives numerous photos of private parts from the men she dates – some she encourages, some she does not. She also said she is in her 60s. Heaven help us. Have you ever heard of Johann Zahn? He was a 17thcentury German priest. He also was an author, a student of light and the man credited with creating the idea of a handheld camera. I can just see old Johann now, sitting in the abbey, imagining how his invention could change the world, allow history to be preserved, help chronicle the human race for future generations. “And don’t forget,” his trusty sidekick chimes in, “you can shove it down your pants!” For the life of me, I will never get this. As a dedicated practitioner of underwear, I always have felt safest when there is a layer of modesty between my outside and the outside. Now comes Congressman Weiner, the shutterbug who keeps opening the shutters. You’ve heard of snap and shoot? Now it’s unsnap and shoot. This is his gift to his constituents. I think we need to bring back Fotomat booths. Remember

You dropped your film off, you came back the next day, they handed you the prints. It was supposed to be a private transaction. But every now and then, the person behind the counter would smile and say, “Looks like you had a nice vacation.” And you knew they peeked. Maybe we need more of that. Because the concept of shame in America has gone the way of the zipper: down and out. What’s ironic is that Weiner’s photos, developed the oldfashioned way, could never have been seen by millions the way they have been now. Just one lonely Fotomat guy, who could have looked at the congressman, raised an eyebrow, and said, “Really?” I miss those days. Mitch Albom is a columnist for the Detroit Free Press.

he 56th annual Fine Arts Fiesta has come and gone. For four days on Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, our neighbors from Northeastern Pennsylvania and beyond celebrated with us the art, culture and talents that are rich in our area. We also were exposed to artistry from around the country with the artists’ market. It is not an understatement to note that the city of WilkesBarre, with the leadership of Mayor Tom Leighton and City Council, deserves credit for Fiesta’s success this year. Because of participation by the police department, fire department, department of public works and other city agencies, the public felt welcome to walk and mingle with family and friends. By the efforts of Lore Majikes and Assistant Police Chief Donald

Crane, our grounds crew was able to guide our stage performers to and from the band shell without any interruption to programming and what seemed little inconvenience to area motorists. Many comments were made about how the public could safely and easily stroll onto and around Public Square. Our children were entertained with a puppet theater, strolling musicians and face painting on the portion of Public Square closed to traffic. Some downtown businesses also opened their doors and brought out tables with umbrellas – welcoming visitors to leisurely stroll through their stores, restaurants and our downtown. Each evening South Main Street had hundreds of pedestrians walking to and from Fiesta. Numerous organizations such as the Luzerne County Historical Society, the Wyoming Valley Art League and high school musicians and singing groups showcased their books, maps, artwork, and talents to the delight of all who attended. I thank all who contributed, sponsored and volunteered for this year’s Fiesta. Thank you, Northeastern Pennsylvania, for joining us in celebrating Al Groh’s 90th

birthday and recognizing the legacy of the late Howard B. Fedrick. As Annette Evans and Groh had envisioned 56 years ago, the Fine Arts Fiesta gathers people of all walks of life together in peace and creativity in the heart of our city to enjoy the arts. David J.

Failing to care for the most needy will unravel society’s moral fabric OSCAR WILDE, the 19th century author and playwright, once famously quipped, “People today know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” Whatever the original context that sparked the quote, Wilde’s assertion is food for thought as our country grapples with severe budget shortfalls, out-of-control deficits, high unemployment and a national debt numbered in the trillions of dollars – in short, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. In such an economic environment, Americans are becoming acutely aware of “the price of things” – from food, housing, health care, transportation, the education of our children, the maintenance of essential infrastructure, to defense, and most poignantly, the terrible costs (both monetary and human) of war and the ongoing struggle to secure our nation in an age of global terrorism. Obviously, there is an urgent need to set clear fiscal priorities; the path we are on is unsustainable. Yet, as the process of forging a viable budget for the fiscal year 2012 moves forward, we must prioritize in a way that equitably distributes the sacrifice while protect-

COMMENTARY

More than 49 million Americans – including nearly 17 million children – live in households that have difficulty feeding their families. Yet nutrition programs such as SNAP are on the chopping block. Other programs slated for significant cuts include WIC, otherwise known as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. It is worth noting that while unemployment and poverty rates have risen to record levels since 2008, the number of families struggling to put food on the table has not risen, largely because of federal nutrition programs such as SNAP and school meals. Thus, a circle of protection should be placed around programs that target hunger and poverty while supporting families, many of which are working poor families, struggling to make ends meet. There is no doubt that Congress’ most immediate focus should be on strengthening the economy and creating jobs. But cutting low-income programs will only increase poverty and cost the economy more in the long run. Consider these statistics from the Bread for the World website (www.bread.org): • Hunger costs our country an estimated $90 billion annually in lost pro-

ductivity, reduced educational outcomes and increased health care costs. • Poverty creates an additional $22 billion in health care spending per year. Practically speaking, we cannot afford the long-term costs resulting from larger segments of the population being pushed into poverty. Furthermore, we have a moral obligation to protect and to care for the poor, the vulnerable and all those in legitimate need. Numerous religious traditions tell us that the moral fiber of a society is revealed, most clearly, in how well (or poorly) its neediest members are faring. Current budget proposals do not bode well for the least among us. As Americans, we can do better. Indeed, we must. If we lose sight of the inherent value and dignity of the human person, and the moral imperative to care for one another, then we will have lost something essential of our humanity and our national character – the humanizing value of compassion; and for this we will pay a very heavy price.

Support retention of music at GNA

his is a plea for anyone who has ever benefited from the Greater Nanticoke Area School District’s music department to call the school board members and to attend the meeting on Thursday. The board has been considering furloughing two music teachers and possibly eliminating the chorus and the band programs. Our school board needs to recognize that music is essential and extremely beneficial in our district. I haven’t heard of any sports being cut; but when you take a step back, what is a chorus or a band? It is a group of students rehears-

ing regularly, learning repertoire and performing. No sports team is as large as the high school chorus, which currently has 70 members. Throughout the district, there are more than 200 students who are actively involved in the music programs and even more who participate in the department-sponsored variety shows or musicals. What does the district suggest these students do once it cancels their creative and educational outlet? I am a graduate of Nanticoke’s Class of 2009 and am studying vocal and piano performance at Susquehanna University. I was the president of the Honor Society and the class valedictorian. I am by no means the exception, either. One-third of the current Hon-

or Society at Nanticoke is involved in the music program – as well as five of the top 10 students of the Class of 2011 (including the valedictorian and both salutatorians). There are clear benefits to these programs, and the current faculty has been very successful, sending more students to Pennsylvania Music Educators Association’s district, regional and state chorus and band competitions than our district has in more than a decade. Please show your support and urge these board members to save our music program. Every student deserves to have the opportunity to explore and develop his or her musical potential, and our school district is responsible for providing that opportunity.

Sterling site could have many uses

ne of the reasons the Hotel Sterling project failed is the architects in the design competition were handcuffed into keeping the existing building. I have a great deal of respect

for the architect profession. Without getting too technical, let me explain. Although they are a great deal better than the mountains of shale they replaced, big box stores, strip malls and parking lots cover the east part of the Wyoming Valley. On the other hand, River Street between Pierce and South streets provides the architectural crown jewels of the Valley. The west side of the street has the courthouse, River Common, bridges and Kirby Park. The east side is dominated by two beautiful college campuses. Whatever the Sterling site becomes, it should not detract from what I consider is not only a part of the city or the

county seat, but the architectural centerpiece of the Wyoming Valley. It could be more than just a commercial real estate site. It could be a joint-venture engineering school between Wilkes University and King’s College. President Obama recently said he wants to train 10,000 engineers a year. It could be a public-private venture between city, county and both colleges, combining common functions such as facilities management. It could support the recreation at the River Common and Kirby Park It would be a good location for a new City Hall. Nick Souchik Pittston Township

God’s blessings to school’s family

here do we begin? Collectively, we at St. Mary’s Assumption School represent approximately 300 years of service in the parochial school system. Ironically, we are having difficulty finding just the right words to express our sincere thanks to our school family. The last two months have been emotional for everyone, especially our parents and students – whose support is unmeasured. St. Mary’s Assumption has prided itself on spiritual growth and academic excellence since its humble beginnings with the Sisters of Christian Charity. A most sincere thank-you goes to all of the sisters, the former pastors of St. Mary’s Assumption and the pastors of Greater Pittston who served faithfully to ensure our children celebrated the sacraments at liturgy. We have modeled our mission statement of sending forth faith-filled, lifelong learners. And, we have taught our students to become actively involved in the life of their communities by serving those less fortunate. Our parents, family and friends always have demonstrated their undying support, dedication and love for any activity or event connected with St. Mary’s Assumption. We have worn the “Challenger” name proudly. Our HSO, headed by Holly Frederick and her fellow officers, as well as our Recruitment/Retention Committee, comprised of parents led by Erin Berlew, Carol Cicon, Mark Casper and Joe Jumper, have organized numerous events in the past weeks in an attempt to create memories that will last forever. Thank you to anyone connected with these organizations, and thank you to every family that has passed through the halls of our beloved school for five generations. We believe these school groups have succeeded, and we wanted the participants to know that the faculty, staff and administration are most grateful. We cannot begin to thank them for every little kindness extended to us in these final days as a school community. Your soothing words, hugs, tears, smiles and your unending generosity will never be forgotten. We will carry a piece of St.

Marino quickly begins spending

fter a new congressman is elected, how long does it take the Washington, D.C., political culture to compromise his principles? Apparently it does not take too long, as my local newspaper’s article on freshman Congressman Thomas Marino illustrates. His indoctrination into the capital’s political culture apparently has taken hold. Congressman Marino was the Tea Party’s favorite to represent the people of the 10th District. He was to go to Washington and put his foot down on the runaway federal spending that is destroying the economy. Being a quick study, Congressman Marino must have realized that staying in Congress depends on how much “money” a representative can bring to the home district for select special interests. I have to give Marino credit for his choice of a special interest: Williamsport’s Children’s Development Center. Williamsport Sun-Gazette reporter Mike Reuther’s article doesn’t specifically state so; however, it is heavily implied that Congressman Marino wants to provide some federal funding for the center. I thought that if Congress was going to save the country from economic self-destruction, everyone had to make sacrifices. But Rep. Marino seemingly intends to do just what all the other lawmakers in Washington apparently are doing with the intent to get re-elected: spend, spend, spend.

It was clever of Mr. Marino to use children as cover for his anticipated spending binge. After all, who would deprive children’s programs of adequate funding? In 21st century America, children are no longer the responsibility of their parents, rather wards of the government. I guess the voters of the 10th District can now realize their hopes for a fiscally responsible representative have burst, and it didn’t take too long. Hugh E. McGee Williamsport

Oral sex causing hike in disease

felt compelled to write this letter because of a muchneglected health problem. Oral sex is more common than people realize and even more dangerous, because it is the young people, sometimes starting at ages 11 and 12, who engage in this sexual act, thinking it a safe way to engage in what some people don’t consider a sexual act, thanks to former President Clinton’s proclamation. All kinds of sexually transmitted diseases can be contracted, with potential longterm and, in some cases, deadly consequences. To elaborate, 15 percent of all reported cases of syphilis are contracted through oral sex. Severe gonorrheal tonsillitis, pharyngitis, chlamydia, HIV and AIDS are other diseases that can be transmitted via this route. The most important problem is passing on the HPV virus, which can cause cancer of the cervix in women and venereal warts in both sexes. Even more devastating is the alarming increase of mouth and throat cancers, referred to medically as oropharyngeal cancers. These cancers are difficult to treat and can cause debilitating problems. The frightening statistic is that there has been a 287 percent increase in this type of cancer, proven to be caused by the HPV virus, which was trans-

mitted via oral sex. This is an astounding statistic. Parents should seriously consider getting their young children, male and female, vaccinated against the HPV virus. Also, if one wants to continue practicing oral sex, then in addition to this vaccination he or she should use protection in the way of condoms or dental dams. I know this is a delicate subject, but it is one that must be promulgated because the problem is getting worse. I will address any group of people interested in hearing more about this problem.

Writer disputes ‘disaster’ letter

n the letter to the editor “Writer says indiscretions are to blame for disasters” (June 3), an author argues that our “immoral actions” are to blame for natural disasters that are caused by the Christian god. While God’s existence is questionable, as I have argued in previous letters to the editor, the author commits various logical fallacies. The first problem with the argument is surprisingly mentioned by the author himself: Natural disasters are noticed much more now. But this is primarily because of more news coverage and advanced technology – much more than we had a century ago. Natural disasters, of course, always have existed and have claimed many lives. The 1931 China floods, for example, according to CBC news in Canada, killed 1 million to 2.5 million. The second fallacy is the “false cause fallacy.” The author sees various events and links them, although he provides no evidence to back his claim. The author sees “immorality” and says: “Aha! Look! This is to blame!” We should look for more reasonable and probabilistic naturalistic explanations rather than assume that an allloving God exists who created a universe with natural disasters that kill innocent people, including infants, who had nothing to do with others’ actions. Is it reasonable to believe that because of divorce and gay marriage that God killed

about 230,000 in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami or about 222,000 in Haiti? There is no good reason to suppose that an all-loving god exists in a universe with so much destruction.

Ideas offered to revitalize park

am in full agreement with a previous letter to the editor that offered suggestions to revitalize Moon Lake Park. Families from the Back Mountain, mine included, have enjoyed this outdoor treasure until recently, when cutbacks in the Luzerne County budget necessitated briefly closing the park, and later reopening it with fewer available amenities. Then, a series of break-ins and a lack of regular maintenance caused further damage. Recently, Luzerne County commissioners were discussing investing $80,000 (onehalf funded from outside and one-half by the county) to finance a study to determine what residents would like to see happen with the park. I think it’s time we said “enough” to spending on redundant studies and assessments. Our commissioners should approach this situation from the perspective of county residents. We have been asked to cut back in our personal spending. Now, more than ever, families need low-cost recreational opportunities. Moon Lake Park provides the ideal destination. How do you make the park user-friendly, cost-effective and keep it in good repair? Why not host a series of public meetings and ask residents for their ideas? That wouldn’t cost anywhere near $80,000. Perhaps the Luzerne County Convention and Visitors Bureau can pitch in with finding ways to promote the park. How about inviting civic, social and church-related organizations, Leadership Wilkes-Barre, etc., to band together under an all-volunteer umbrella advocate organization, “Friends of Moon Lake Park,” to share in sponsoring cleanups, picnics and other activities that will bring

people to the park. Would it be a stretch to ask the Luzerne County Transportation Authority if it would create a bus route from the downtown Intermodal Center to the park a few times a week during the warmer months so city dwellers, especially children, without personal transportation could visit? Invite the YMCA, Catholic Youth Center, Jewish Community Center and Day Camp and similar entities to join in the planning and restoration in exchange for free or reduced user fees. Fix the pool, canoe/paddleboat rental shanty, snack bar and campground. Increase or implement fees for all park amenities, but keep the increases reasonable. Dig deep into the budget to find the money to employ area young people to work at the park during the summer. Reopen and staff the nature center beginning in the spring so school groups can once again enjoy visiting and being outdoors to learn about the environment. Charging a small program fee should generate funds to help cover costs for the center. How about the local news media? Would any representatives of our newspapers or broadcast media consider taking on a project at the park in the spirit of community service? Would establishing the park as a nonprofit entity make it more appealing as a recipient of fundraising efforts? Of course, someone would be needed to research and apply for grants, charitable gifts and donations. Done on a volunteer basis, the preparer could be compensated based on a percentage of the grant. While I am not naïve enough to believe any of these suggestions are foolproof, easily doable or will suffice to quickly bring the park back to its full potential, I think they are worth considering. Perhaps it is time we look in our own backyards for solutions and no longer turn a deaf ear to any and all suggestions offered. Call me a leftover idealist from the 1960s, but I truly believe we can come together as a community to take charge of situations and issues that directly affect us on a local level. Other communities have done it; why not in Luzerne County? Deborah A. Higgins Dallas

requiring for-profit schools to make sure their students are able to pay back federal loans, and a Senate committee is poised to begin drafting legislation. In addition, 17 state attorneys general are reviewing the industry for possible violations of consumer protection statutes. The aim is to protect both students and taxpayers. Not all for-profit schools are implicated in wrongdoing, but various investigations have found problems, particularly with those that derive most of their revenues from federal student aid. A government investigation from last year found practices such as overly aggressive recruiting, where school representatives barraged potential students with phone calls, gave false information about a college’s accreditation, potential salary and job opportunities after graduation, and doctored federal aid forms. Investigations have also noted that tuition at for-profits can cost thousands of dollars more, even as much as 30 times the price of comparable programs at community colleges. Other investigations found that for-profit recruiters heavily target low-income and minority students, veterans and people whose parents have never gone to college. Enrollment at for-profits has increased fivefold in the past decade to nearly 2 million. Students often choose to attend these colleges for a variety of reasons, including the hope of getting a degree faster, a perception that the classes may be easier, and the availability of night and weekend classes. However, degrees from forprofit institutions often don’t lead to good careers. Data from several investigations at the federal and state level suggest that the public investment in educating students at

some for-profits isn’t a good deal for taxpayers, or for many students. Thousands of students have taken out federal loans to attend a for-profit college, only to default on them. According to the U.S. Department of Education, forprofit colleges educated around one in 10 students in 2008, but these students took out nearly a fourth of all federal student financial aid dollars — around $24 billion of taxpayer money. They also account for almost half of loan defaulters. In many of the larger for-profit schools, federal dollars account for around 90 percent of revenues. Harris Miller, the chief executive officer and president of the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, said for-profits aren’t at fault. “The default rate among students is not based on whether a school is profit or not-for-profit. It’s based on the demographics of the student population,” Miller said in an interview. “We accept and try to educate students that the traditional higher education system is not interested in educating or is not willing to educate,” he said.

NEWYORK—Intheirownstyle, Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina are the newest duo on the country scene. After the season finale of “American Idol,” the teenagers are together doing press like a team — and this team doesn’t roll alone: They’re equipped with publicists, security guards, managers, record-label extras and their real bosses — their mothers. McCreery beat Alaina to become the season 10 champ, but the fact that they are both young country singers with similar goals puts them on the same career track. Ahead of their “Idol” Top 11 tour — which starts next month — they will visit Nashville to begin prep on their debut albums. “We’re going to work with the record people down there and get some songs straightened out, and hopefully I’ll get to listen to them, get to learn them,” McCreery said. “AmericanIdol”—theNo.1rated show on TV — can make you a star, but not all of the show’s winners actually come out on top. Remember Taylor Hicks? What about Ruben Studdard? Alaina, 16, thinks country-music fans are what kept her and McCreery in the running. “Well, country fans are really loyal, soIthinkthat’swhyScottyandIdidso good,” she said. “We’re young, and so we appeal to a younger crowd, and I think that the combination of those two things really helped us out.” McCreery, a17-year-old from Garner, N.C., said growing up, his friends listened to Backstreet Boys and ’N Sync, while he jammed to Elvis and Johnny Cash. “I guess you could say I was the weird one. But, no, I was the one who listened to good music,” he said.

Cable television’s new shows heat up for summer By GAIL PENNINGTON St. Louis Post-Dispatch

When the broadcast networks slammed the brakes on the 2010-11 TV season recently, cable networks were already revving their engines for a fast start to summer. Expect a traffic jam as more than 80 shows debut or return between now and August. Some of these shows are on broadcast TV. The competition “America’s Got Talent” has resumed on NBC, paired with the ongoing “The Voice,” and “So You Think You Can Dance” is under way on Fox. ABC offers “The Bachelorette.” But finding first-run comedy or drama will mostly require turning to cable, where 11 networks will debut 15 scripted shows this summer. Here are10 of the new dramas and comedies that arrive this summer and are worth a look: • “TeenWolf,”10p.m.MondaysonMTV.

Less like the Michael J. Fox comedy with which it shares a title and more in the “Twilight” or “Vampire Diaries” vein, this dark new “Teen Wolf” stars Tyler Posey as Scott McCall, a high-school student who is bitten and becomes a werewolf. Teen angst ensues as Scott tries to figure out what’s happening to him, while also connecting with new girl Allison (Crystal Reed), who has a secret of her own. Tyler Hoechlin plays Scott’s mysterious mentor in the sometimes scary drama from Jeff Davis, creator of “Criminal Minds.” • “The Protector,” 10 p.m. Sundays on Lifetime. Ally Walker (“Profiler”) returns to TV in another “P” series, this time as LA homicide detective and single mother Gloria Sheppard, who’s raising two boys and sharing a house with her brother (Chris Payne Gilbert). Tisha Campbell-Martin plays her part-

ner, with Miguel Ferrer (“Crossing Jordan”) as their lieutenant. “The Protector” feels familiar, like a show we used to like but had almost forgotten. But its easygoing mix of procedural and family drama will appeal to fans of the Lifetime brand and, especially, to fans of Walker. • “Happily Divorced,” 10:30 p.m. Wednesdays on TV Land. Fran Drescher and her ex-husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, created “The Nanny” together while still married, and they’re together again on this surprisingly charming new sitcom. Drescher stars as Fran, a longmarried florist whose husband (John Michael Higgins) surprises her with the news that he’s gay. (Apparently, something similar happened between Drescher and Jacobson.)Hecan’taffordtomoveout,though,so they share the house while Fran tries to get on with her new life. Rita Moreno and Robert Walden play her parents.

• “Outcasts,” 9 p.m. Saturdays on BBC America. Pioneers from a disintegrating Earth build a new society, with visions of making it the utopia Earth never was, in an absorbing British science-fiction drama set on a habitable planet called Carpathia. Watch the premiere, and you may think you’ve missed an earlier season, but no; the opener is meant more to intrigue than to inform. Don’t worry, though, because all becomes clearer in the second episode, which introduces Eric Mabius (“Ugly Betty”) as a newly arrived refugee with ulterior motives. • “Falling Skies,” 9 p.m. Sundays on TNT. (Premieres tonight.) Steven Spielberg is an executive producer of this drama about survivors of an alien invasion trying to stay alive See TV, Page 4F

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Technical difficulties will clear up in stages. Patience will be required. The best problem solvers frequently say, “Interesting...” Instead of getting angry, they get curious about how things work. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re a smooth operator. You make people think they are coming up with an idea that was originally yours. Your way of managing others is virtually undetectable. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is a burbling excitement over recent developments in your personal life. It’s too soon to predict how a certain relationship will grow, but once you resolve to have a good time, it all works out in your favor. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your friends help you, and you help them. No one is keeping score, and yet everything seems to be balanced. Things work out naturally and effortlessly, which feels nice. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You sometimes feel like it’s a waste of time to daydream and project yourself into a future that may or may not happen. However, that is the very best use of your time today. It’s the start of a genius plan. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You communicate with loved ones to keep everything on track. Formal meetings are not necessary if you do this well. It will involve eye contact and double-checking to make sure you’ve been heard correctly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Time won’t stop for you, but you can keep it from slipping through your fingers. Cling to it as it speeds past. Hang on tight because you’re in for a wild, thrilling ride. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may go into social hibernation today as you process relationship issues and recent events through your mind and heart. It’s not painful work, but it does take time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have a funny way of explaining yourself and will entertain people even when that is not what you meant to do. Your sense of humor will attract new friends and endear old ones. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re a hard worker and a wise one, too. When it’s time to stop and rest, you make sure you have adequate time to do so. To skip that part would put your future productivity in jeopardy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Take your show on the road. Get out and see people, especially strangers. Even if you don’t officially talk to anyone, it will do something positive for your spirit to show up in the public swirl. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you see what you want, you immediately check the price tag. In today’s instance, this may cause “sticker shock,” but you’ll get right to work figuring out how to come up with the goods. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 19). You will be extremely careful about the people and elements you let into your world, and this selectivity will keep you among the best and brightest this year. Your desire to make the world a better place will lead you to care for a wounded soul in August. October brings a happy domestic upgrade, perhaps a move. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 41, 21, 5 and 16.

Woman stops short of going through with divorce Dear Abby: I’m a 38-yearold man who is in love with a 45-year-old woman. She was married for 20 years and has three children. She was separated for two years before we started dating. She and her ex are extremely civil, and she spends nights at his house in order to see the children. I support her in this because I don’t ever want her to feel like I’m making her choose. Her ex doesn’t want her back, nor does she want to reconcile. This morning she had an appointment with a divorce lawyer and came home saying she isn’t ready to do it. She’s afraid her ex will become vindictive and use the kids as leverage.

TRUCKERS Continued from Page 1F

Fans disappointed by the canceled Wilkes-Barre appearance will have to settle for one song, “Everybody Needs Love,” on Letterman (11:35 p.m./CBS) on Tuesday or consider a seven-hour jaunt to Virginia later this week. On Thursday, the Truckers will perform at the Norva Theater in Norfolk before finishing up the summer even farther south with dates in North Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Since forming in 1996, the Ath-

ens, Ga., by way of-Alabama, band has developed a reputation as one ofthemostexhilaratingliveactson the road today, thanks in part to the twin-guitar attack of Hood and his fellowsinger-axemanMikeCooley. Together, the pair also shares the bulk of the songwriting duties, composing separately or sometimes in tandem, like a Southernfried version of Jagger-Richards. The results detail the hardships of American life, with a decidedly below-the-Mason-Dixon-line bent. The songs also possess a palpable dark side: The six-piece’s latest album, “Go-Go Boots,” has its fair share of murder ballads. “Some say too much,” chuckles Hood, a lifelong movie fan whose appreciation

while fighting back. Noah Wyle stars as Tom Mason, a history professor turned soldier whose wife was killed in the attack six months earlier, leaving him with two young sons and a third who is missing. Moon Bloodgood and Will Patton also star in the thriller, which might remind you of Stephen King’s “The Stand” or even “The Walking Dead” minus the zombies. • “Combat Hospital,” 10 p.m. Tuesdays on ABC. (Premieres Tuesday.) The only one of the 10 spotlight shows that wasn’t available for preview, “Combat Hospital” (formerly “The Hot Zone”) also is the only new scripted show premiering this summer on one of the broadcast networks.

for the medium inspired vividly cinematic tracks such as “The Fireplace Poker” and “Used to Be a Cop.” “My songwriting is as influenced by film as it is by records. And the subject matter even more so,” Hood says. “I think this record explores more of that than any we’ve done so far.” With so many albums under their belt — “Go-Go Boots” is the group’s 11th — Drive-By Truckers have a war chest of songs from which to draw on stage. And, Hood says, they do it all without a set list. “We decide the first song, which is probably the hardest part, and it just flows from there,” he says. “A lot of it has to do with what we’re

getting from the audience. Some rooms, the quiet songs work really well, and in others, they get totally lost. Some nights it’s better to just put your head down and rock hard. But it’s fun and it keeps it fresh. No two shows are ever the same.” That rare quality is furthered by some playful competition in the band. “We try to challenge each other by pulling out songs that don’t get played as much. Cooley has been pulling out “Sounds Better in the Song,” which is one of my favorite songs on (2003’s) “Decoration Day”album,”Hoodsays.“Wehardly every played it when it was new, because it just got lost, but now it’s kind of a showstopper.”

Adams plays Mike Ross, a brilliant college dropout who’s just about to go seriously wrong in life, with Gabriel Macht as the corporate lawyer who sees something in Mike and cuts corners to bring him into the firm. • “Wilfred,” 10 p.m. Thursdays on FX. (Premieres Thursday.) Elijah Wood stars as Ryan in a strange but also strangely sweet comedy. Ryan is paralyzed by anxiety until he finds unlikely support from a dog. Well, not exactly a dog. His pretty neighbor sees Wilfred (Jason Gann, who also created the Australian original and adapted it for FX), as her dog, while Ryan sees a guy in a dog suit who speaks and offers advice and frequently leads Ryan astray. • “State of Georgia,” 8:30 p.m. June 29 on ABC Family. Silly and a bit too noisy but hard to dislike, this new sitcom stars Raven-Symone as Georgia, a confident and exuberant aspiring actress, and Majandra Delfino as

her best friend, a science geek. Together, with the help of Georgia’s Aunt Honey (Loretta Devine), they take on New York City. The most interesting thing about “State of Georgia” is that it comes from novelist Jennifer Weiner, whose prolific work includes “In Her Shoes” and “Good in Bed.” • “Torchwood: Miracle Day,” 10 p.m. July 8 on Starz. In this extension of the BBC’s “Torchwood,” people all over the world somehow stop dying. They are injured, they become ill, but no one dies, threatening to stretch the Earth’s resources to the breaking point. Starz casts Mekhi Phifer as CIA agent Rex Matheson, who tries to figure out what’s happening with the assistance of “Torchwood” originals John Barrowman (as Capt. Jack Harkness) and Eve Myles (as Gwen Cooper). Alexa Havins and Lauren Ambrose also star, with Bill Pullman as a murderer whose execution failed and Michael Knight (“Seinfeld”) as the head of the CIA.

And his partner isn’t above playing Stump the Truckers either, Hood reveals with a laugh. “We havehandsignals(todecidewhois going to sing). I’ll point to Cooley, and he’ll take off. If it’s a song we all start together, then we really have to be ready, because he is not afraid to try to stump us. In fact, he takes great pleasure in stumping us,” he says. “Usually it works really well, but occasionally it doesn’t, and the train wrecks. But that’s kind of fun, too. Rock-’n-’roll shouldn’t be too safe. That’s part of what got rock-’n’-roll in such dire straits.

I go to a lot of shows, and I thought, what show would I like to see if I were going out?” Hood says. “And for the most part, that’s where we landed. Enough people have agreed that we’re able to make our living at it. So I’m thankful for that. I think the live show is the best thing we do.”

“The Coffins of Little Hope” by Timothy Shaffert; Unbridled (262 pages, $24.95)

By MOLLY EICHEL

Philadelphia Daily News

HILADELPHIA — When Adam Mansbach’s book is made into a movie, it could be the first bedtime-story film adaptation that’s rated R. It’s hard to see how it could be avoided: Mansbach’s book is called “Go the F--- to Sleep.” “Go the F--- to Sleep” is a plea to Mansbach’s 3-year-old, Vivian, to please, for the love of all that is holy, go to sleep. The book reads and looks like many other less explicitly worded children’s books — “Goodnight Moon,” perhaps, or “Where the Wild Things Are.” It’s written in couplets, such as: The cats nestle close to their kittens, The lambs have laid down with the sheep. You’re cozy and warm in your bed, my dear. Please go the f--- to sleep.

The book’s rectangular shape and size are perfect for being held in a child’s tiny hands, not that it should be. The package is completed with florid illustrations by Ricardo Cortes. Every parent has felt this type of agita: a mixture of undying love and utter frustration that they can’t accomplish the seemingly simple task of putting their kid down for the night. “It wasn’t that there were tears and screaming,” Mansbach said about trying to get Vivian to bed. “It was a steady, joyous refusal to go to sleep.” Parents are responding in kind. “Go the F--- to Sleep” has spent 50 days on the Amazon.com best-seller list, largely holding the top spot — it was at No. 2 when we checked Monday — even though its official publication date was the next day. The book’s success is a huge surprise for Mansbach, a novelist who recently finished up a post as the New Voice Processor of Fiction at Rutgers-Camden, where he taught fiction-writing to graduate students and lectured on screenwriting and the history of hip-hop. He’ll soon be heading home to Berkeley, Calif., after spending two years in Philadelphia. Mansbach thinks “Go the F--- to Sleep” is a hit not only because of the universality of the frustrations he expresses but also because it’s become taboo to talk about those frustrations. “As much as there’s a conversation about parenting in this culture, it’s very much about appearances,” Mansbach said. Many of the emails he’s received from readers thank him for making them feel less alone when it comes to the handwringing, hair-pulling ritual of bedtime. It was that universality that convinced Johnny Temple, publisher and editor-in-chief of Akashic Books, to add the book to his company’s rep-

Playing dress-up or running around the park, kids can be so darn cute. Until it’s 3 a.m. and they won’t go the (bleep) to sleep. The F-bomb plea is the title of a buzz-magnet of a book parody by Adam Mansbach written in kidfriendly rhyme but decidedly unworthy of a bedtime read-aloud.

ertoire. At first, Temple, who had known Mansbach for years before working with him professionally, thought that the concept was hilarious but that it wouldn’t fit in with the rest of Akashic’s titles — gritty literary fiction and politically minded nonfiction. But then Temple, who has two young sons, sent the book around to his wife and their friends with children. “I got such an incredibly emotional and cathartic reaction,” Temple said. He had to publish it. The seed of the book began as a throwaway Facebook joke. He thought it was funny enough to go beyond a one-liner so he put pen to paper. “Now it’s taken on an oversized kind of role in my life,” Mansbach said. In April, Mansbach debuted the book at Philly’s Fourth Wall Arts Sa-

lon, a monthly gathering where artists can show off their work. The next day, he checked the Amazon rating and saw that it was in the 125th spot, a relatively good number considering the massive Amazon inventory. By the next week, it was No. 1. “Every waking moment has been a continuation of a ‘What the hell?’ moment,” Mansbach said about the book’s runaway success. When “Go the F --- to Sleep” started to blow up on the Amazon charts, bigger publishing houses came knocking at Mansbach’s door, offering to buy the manuscript from Akashic. But Mansbach decided to stick with the indie publisher, which upped the initial run of 10,000 copies to 200,000 and moved the publishing date from October to last Wednesday. Then the movie studios came acalling, with Fox 2000 snapping up rights to the film version. Mansbach didn’t offer to write the screenplay, mainly because he has no idea how it could be done. “Go the F --- to Sleep” is on par to outsell his previous works, including the California Book Award-winning “The End of the Jews” and “Angry Black White Boy.” Those two novels and others he’s written deal with issues of ethnic identity in the 21st century. But Mansbach doesn’t see his first humor book as a stark departure from his other published pieces. “The throughline of my work is that I’ve done pretty much whatever the hell I’ve wanted to do, so, in that sense it’s (“Go the F --- to Sleep”) no different,” he said. Plus, it’s way easier to explain the plot. But he’s not yet ready to show it to Vivian, his inspiration. “I know her as a 3-year-old but I don’t know what she’ll be like at 8 or 12,” Mansbach said. “She’s already got a fantastic sense of humor. She’s a lot funnier and smarter than I am.”

“The Coffins of Little Hope” is great summer reading — a lazy river that carries you away and drops you off much farther downstream than you expected to go. This breezy but deceptively plot-packed little novel starts and ends placidly in small-town Nebraska. Our narrator is S Myles (not an initial, but short for Essie, which is short for Esther, thank you). She’s 83 and still doing the job she’s had since girlhood: writing obituaries for her family’s struggling newspaper, the County Paragraph. She isn’t slowing down. Business is picking up for this sleepy burg’s chronicler of death. Snoozer? Keep reading. The town grabs the national spotlight and won’t let go. First, Daisy, a woman who lives on a farm outside of town, claims that her daughter was abducted by her lover. But no one remembers ever having met the lost Lenore. Is it a hoax? Was Lenore even real? It’s the story of a lifetime, and the Paragraph milks it like a prize Holstein. The story is irresistible to national media. Soon, even S has a cult following for her folksy, albeit thinly reported, obits. Also, a famous author has hired the Paragraph to print the final volume in a megapopular young-adult series. Before publication, Daisy takes to the CB radio and reads from what she claims is the upcoming book, titled “The Coffins of Little Hope.” Even casual fans pull over to the side of the road, hanging on every word. How did Daisy get a copy? Did she steal it? Or did Lenore write it? Whatever the answer, the town is under a spell. Says S: “Only a moment of silence passed before the people in the cars up and down the road honked their horns and flashed their lights, a spontaneous gesture of community. We all heard it, we all seemed to be saying. We all were there.” Author Timothy Shaffert hits some bumps when he tries to impose another story line on the novel — that of Essie’s two middle-age grandchildren, Ivy and Doc, gently struggling over who should raise Ivy’s teenage daughter Tiff. While the abduction is described in detail, the Myles family portrait feels like a sketch. More depth might have made them seem a little more real. Part Fannie Flagg, part Stephen King, Shaffert spins a tale that’s funny, poignant and, at times, macabre.

Author offers introspective look at marriage By MICHELLE WIENER For The Associated Press

“The Astral” (Doubleday), by Kate Christensen

At the start of Kate Christensen’s sharp, perceptive novel, poet Harry Quirk has been thrown out of his apartment in The Astral in the northern Brooklyn neighborhood of Greenpoint by his wife, Luz, who suspects he’s having an affair. He’s not, but Luz has found a number of seemingly incriminating poems that fuel

her suspicions, and Harry can say nothing to convince her otherwise. Harry’s poetry is at best old-fashioned, favoring traditional meter and rhyme schemes, and at worst, so hopelessly out-of-date that it cannot even be considered retro-hip. It’s a crafty move on Christensen’s part to have

these poems, which Luz destroys, be the catalyst for Harry to rebuild his life. And as Harry reflects on his marriage’s trajectory, deconstructing its fabric to find out what went wrong and how to fix it, he’s also endeavoring to engage meaningfully with his grown children. Karina is a levelheaded freegan (or trash-bin diver, in simplistic terms) living in Crown Heights; Hector has recently joined up with a commune that Harry and Karina sus-

pect is really a religious cult. And in another sly twist, it’s only when Harry seeks help for Hector that he’s provided fresh insights that prompt him to completely reassess his relationship with Luz. As an introspective look at what makes a marriage work, and what doesn’t — Harry’s interactions with his married friends provide a number of perspectives on this topic — Christensen’s “The Astral” is provoking and at times profoundly moving. But it also

succeeds in its fond descriptions of a neighborhood virtually unknown outside of New York (and all too often written off within it), an area that even in its perhaps inevitable gentrification persists in holding on to its gritty “Old World” ways. So-called hipster interlopers live amid Polish immigrants and oldtimers, and Christensen captures it all magnificently, down to the decaying majesty of the once-grand building honored in her title.
