Petra Kvitova claimed the first Grand Slam title of her career with a 6-3, 6-4 upset of 2004 champion Maria Sharapova on Saturday, as the Czech stayed cool under pressure to stun the heavily favored Russian fifth seed. Sharapova was badly let down by a shaky serve, which produced six double faults in the 82-minute defeat.

A lost innocence Story of mine boy is retold

In the last days of December 1910 and the first days of January 1911, photographer Lewis Hine took 44 images of mine workers in Luzerne County. The iconic photographs reveal a glimpse of what life and work was like in the anthracite coal fields of the Wyoming Valley at the beginning of the 20th century. Two years earlier, Hine had embarked on a photojournalism expedition, determined to capture the faces of child laborers throughout America for the National Child Labor Committee For 9 years, he traversed more than 30 states capturing more than 5,000 images on his journey,

helping to illuminate the pandemic of child labor in the early 20th century. “The great social peril is darkness and ignorance. Light is required. Light! Light in floods!” said Hine. While the light of Hine’s pho-

tography changed child labor laws throughout the country, his success was temporary. The engines of industrialization roared on, overrunning most of the progress Hine had made. The subjects of his photographs moved on as well. After turning their

backs to Hine’s lens and resuming work at the glass factories, mills, and mines across the country, many forgot that they had ever been photographed. The history of child labor, it seemed, was See CHILDREN, Page 6A

For most hotel operators, the fear of losing business from the once-controversial Luzerne County room tax did not materialize. Since the Luzerne County Hotel Tax went into effect 15 years ago – on July 1, 1996 – more than $25 million has been collected and used to pay off the construction debt of the Mohegan Sun Mackin Arena at Casey Plaza and to promote tourism in the county. At the time, the idea of a 5 percent a night room tax was met with consternation by some hotel owners and a lawsuit to stop it by others. No other county in Northeastern Pennsylvania had levied such a tariff and some hoteliers believed it was not only unjust but illegal. In the years since the tax was instituted, other counties across the state have done the same, See HOTEL, Page 12A

Lemmond, 82, was one of the regulars at the breakfast meetings that as of late had been at Schechter’s home due to his declining physical health. The stalwart Republican Lemmond and the liberal Democrat Schechter agreed on very little politically, but their conversations were engaging and enjoyable, said the former legislator. “He had an educated mind, but never stopped learning or working. It was a delight to speak with him,” said Lemmond. Schechter graduated from Dartmouth College and the Harvard Business School. He came to Wilkes-Barre where he was president of the Stressteel Corp.

Edward Schechter, known to many as a visionary, tireless advocate for the community and friend, died Saturday at his Shavertown home. He was 91 and had been battling a debilitating disease for years, but met regularly with a small group to discuss a wide range of topics over breakfast as he had done since moving to the region from New York City in the late 1950s. “He was active and interested in every phase of community life,” said former state Sen. Charles D. Lemmond Jr. “He was a good businessman and he was community-oriented and he was peopleoriented too.” See SCHECHTER, Page 11A

EXETER TWP. – A Danville man fishing in the Susquehanna River Saturday afternoon was rescued after his boat capsized. Terry Snyder, 58, was a little shaken up, but not injured and his plans were temporarily put on hold. “I’m trying to fish the Susquehanna from the New York border to the Chesapeake Bay,” he said. He put in his aluminum, flat bottom boat at public launch upstream earlier in the day. Snyder said he caught a catfish and was fishing for carp. When he dropped anchor it caught a rock and the force of the current caused the water to come over the top of his boat, he said. Snyder estimated he was in the water holding on to his boat for 30 minutes as it drifted

downstream in the middle of the river. Two life vests and fishing gear were underneath the boat “I was paddling, hoping I got it back to shore,” he said. Anthony Morreale, 28, of Pittston and friends were driving north on state Route 92 to a campsite when he saw Snyder and the boat. Morreale said he called Luzerne County 911 around 3:35 p.m. “A guy from across the street had a canoe,” said Morreale. He and the man with the canoe, Don Corcoran, 72, went out to rescue Snyder. “At first he was just hanging on,” said Corcoran who, from his house along the river, spotted Snyder. As Corcoran was taking down his canoe, Morreale helped him and they put it in the water. Corcoran said he had only one paddle. “Next thing you know he jumped in the boat,” said Corcoran of Morreale. Snyder wanted to climb into the canoe, but Corcoran said he told him to hang to the side as

he paddled to shore. “He’s not the first I guy I pulled out of the river,” said Corcoran. Still wet up to his knees, Corcoran met Snyder as members of the Exeter Township fire department and others carried the boat along the shore on their way through the brush to the roadway. Snyder thanked Corcoran for his help.

Hazleton celebration blasts off HAZLETON – The Hazleton area opened its Fourth of July celebration on Saturday with its 12th annual “Hold Your Flag High Day” at Harman Geist Stadium, an event that for many residents has become part of their family tradition. “The fireworks are something that we really look forward to,” an enthusiastic Greg Lesniak said early in the evening. “We try to make it every year.” The event is, after all, an opportunity for city residents to celebrate the Fourth of July weekend in a family-focused atmosphere. The first 5,000 children who came though the gates got a small American flag, and vendors offered various types of food, including funnel cakes and pierogi. Many who attended reflected on the history of the stadium and its activities. “Harman Geist Stadium was once a center for many community events,” said resident Tony Pacelli. He especially remembered football games that took place there in the 1970s. “We are looking forward to the stadium again being utilized for community activities such as this.” Jesse Grobelny, deputy director of Hazleton’s Recreation Department, emphasized that the event title referenced the flag because it was intended to be a time of true patriotism and honor for the nation.

One of the men was holding what the victims believed could have been a gun. The men removed jewelry from the display cabinets while threatening to kill Shade and Panzarella if they tried to intervene. The men fled the store and were seen getting into an older model sedan, possibly a tan, Dodge Intrepid with the last four digits 7014 or 7041 in the license plate. The victims last saw the car traveling north on Fifth Street. The robbers are described as Hispanic males of average

One of the men suffered a cut and had a large clump of brown hair pulled from his head, police said. Shade of West Hazleton and Panzarella of Hazle Township declined medical treatment at the scene. Hazleton and state police and West Hazleton Ambulance assisted borough police. Anyone with information on the men or the vehicle is asked to contact borough police by way of Luzerne County 911 at 570 819-4916. All information will be kept confidential, police said.

Water bill supported by Barletta stirs fight

The proposal would give states more authority over waterway pollution prevention. By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta says Pennsylvania and other states need more power to decide how best to protect waterways from pollution. That’s why the freshman Republican from Hazleton says he is backing a bill giving states final approval over an array of clean water regulations affecting everything from rivers and streams to mountain-top mining operations. Environmentalists and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency charge that the legislation, which is co-authored by the GOP chairman and Barletta top Democrat on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, would undermine decades of progress cleaning up waterways made under the federal Clean Water Act. The bill would prevent the EPA from even offering its views on whether a “proposed project that pollutes or even destroys lakes, streams and wetlands” violates the Clean Water Act, removes the agency’s existing coordination role in overseeing the law and eliminates the “careful state/federal balance” established under the federal law, says an analysis by the EPA of the legislation co-authored by GOP Rep. John Mica of Florida and Democratic Rep. Nick Rahall of West Virginia. “The bill would overturn almost 40 years of federal legislation by preventing the EPA from protecting public health and water quality,” the EPA analysis charges. “The bill would significantly undermine the EPA’s longstanding role under the CWA to ensure that state water quality standards protect clean water and public health and comply with the law.” Nearly three dozen House members are co-sponsoring the legislation, most of them Republicans. But a spokesman for Barletta, of the 11th Congressional District, notes that several Pennsylvania Democrats also are co-sponsors: Reps. Jason Altmire of the 4th District, Mark Critz of the 12th District and Tim Holden of the 17th District. Ignoring state rights “The EPA has once again shown its desire to ignore states’ rights by delaying permitting and reversing established protocol and decisions,” said Shawn Kelly, Barletta’s spokesman. “The EPA’s regulatory overreach has cost many American jobs, burdened small businesses, and stalled our economic See WATER, Page 9A

Furry friends in need Coffee shop hosts SPCA fundraiser By STEFFEN LIZZA Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES BARRE TWP. – Volunteers walked dogs wearing “adopt me” bandannas, while adoptable kittens played in their pens. At times the two would nearly meet nose-to-nose in interspecies photo ops. They were at Starbucks at the Wilkes-Barre Township Marketplace on Saturday as part of a Luzerne County SPCA adoption day. The purpose of the event was to not only find homes for the animals that were there, but to also spread the idea that adopting is a great viable option when looking for a pet. Cordelia Braun, Starbucks manager, said the coffee shop tries to hold at

least two fundraising events every month. "It’s about the sixth time we are doing something like this with the SPCA," she said. SPCA Education & Volunteer Director Cary Moran said the shelter holds outings like this nearly every weekend. Raffle tickets were sold for chances to win a gift basket from Starbucks and even gift baskets for furry friends. A wide variety of different dog breeds were showcased, including a pure breed Alaskan malamute and a pit bull terrier mix named Janice. Every dog at the event was well trained and most even knew tricks like how to shake. The adoption fee for a dog through

the SPCA is $95, which includes spaying or neutering, vaccines, microchipping, ID tag, and collar. The fee for adopting a kitten is $50, which includes spaying or neutering, vaccines, microchipping, ID tag, collar, and FELV test. Throughout the summer the SPCA is also offering cats 1 year or older free to a good home. Animal lovers not in a position to adopt can always help in other ways by volunteering or donating money or much needed supplies like paper towels, toys, and food. The SPCA will hold another adoption day event Saturday at PETCO at the Wilkes-Barre Township Commons from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Tunnel-area residents keep health issue alive State Sen. Yudichak asks federal authorities to check an area people say was a dumping ground. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

It’s been more than a month since the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency hosted a public forum to allay fears of a cancer cluster in Pittston, and the Menichini family is still worried. The Menichinis were instrumental in calling public attention to the alleged cancer cluster around the Butler Mine Tunnel, an EPA Superfund cleanup site that underlies Pittston, which prompted the EPA to hold a public meeting with the state Department of Environmental Protection, the federal Bureau of Health and Services and other agencies. The family began collecting data

EPA representatives said at the May 24 meeting they don’t plan to do any additional testing at the site, and, despite pressure from lawmakers and Pittston residents, they still don’t. “EPA will continue to monitor the contamination source area… and continue to monitor the Butler Mine Tunnel outfall to the Susquehanna River,” EPA Region 3 spokesman Roy Seneca said in an email Thursday. “At this time, EPA has no plans to conduct any additional sampling.” See TUNNEL, Page 11A

Death penalty abolished

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — With firefighters holding their ground against the largest wildfire ever in New Mexico, officials at the nation’s premier nuclear weapons laboratory and in the surrounding city planned for the return of thousands of evacuated employees and residents. The blaze was several miles upslope Friday from Los Alamos National Laboratory, boosting confidence that it no longer posed an immediate threat to the facility.

Thousands of experiments, including those on two supercomputers and studies on extending the life of 1960sera nuclear bombs, have been put on hold because of the fire. “I anticipate that we are going to be able to bring the laboratory back up in a way that’s smooth and continues to maintain the safety and security that we’re responsible for,” Lab Director Charles McMillan said. Authorities didn’t give a timetable for when they would lift evacuation order that began Monday for the town of Los Alamos, home to 12,000 people. But some county workers were already back to prepare for the eventual rush of utility service calls, as well as possible flooding from surrounding mountainsides denuded by the wildfire. Joe Reinarz, a fire official who had also worked at one of the large Arizona

wildfires this season, said the fire did not grow significantly on Friday and that containment lines were holding but were no guarantee. “Everything we’ve seen this summer doesn’t indicate that an old fire is going to stop much. It’s unusually dry in the Southwest,” he said. The fire has blackened more than 162 square miles in the last six days, making it the largest in New Mexico history. Erratic winds and dry fuels helped it surpass a 2003 fire that took five months to burn through 94,000 acres in the Gila National Forest. A key challenge Friday was stopping the flames from doing more damage to the lands of Santa Clara Pueblo. The fire had made a run north toward the AP PHOTO reservation earlier this week, hitting the pueblo’s watershed and cultural A deer stands on a field charred by sites. wildfire near Los Alamos, Saturday.

spending years at the center of A fter heated national debate over capital

punishment, Illinois’ death row officially died Friday when a state law abolishing the death penalty quietly took effect. The state garnered international attention when then-Republican Gov. George Ryan declared a moratorium in 2000 after several inmates’ death sentences were overturned and he cleared death row three years later. One man who came within 48 hours of being executed was among those later declared innocent. The fate of executions in the state was sealed in March when Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation ending the death penalty, following years of stories of men sentenced to death for crimes they did not commit and families of murder victims angrily demanding their loved ones’ killers pay with their own lives. Illinois has executed 12 men since 1977.

SANAA, YEMEN

Troops missing after battle Dozens of Yemeni troops went missing after a battle with al-Qaida-linked militants at a sports stadium in the country’s increasingly lawless south, a military official said Saturday, describing a new setback for a weakened regime already facing an array of opponents. Meanwhile, President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has been treated in a Saudi hospital since an attack on his palace a month ago, remains bedridden and has difficulty breathing and talking, Yemeni officials said, revealing new details about the extent of his injuries. His condition cast doubt on repeated claims by his aides that his return to Yemen is imminent.

Woman dies from E. coli A 78-year-old French woman died early Saturday morning from complications of E. coli infection but a doctor said she was not suffering from the strain that has infected many other people in France and Germany. The woman had been hospitalized in Bordeaux in southwest France since June 24 with hemolytic uremic syndrome — the rare kidney condition affecting a small number of people infected with E. coli. Dr. Benoit Vendrely at Bordeaux Hospital said the strain of E.coli the woman was infected with was not the one implicated in the deaths of 48 people in Germany and one each in the United States and Sweden. He didn’t identify the source of the French woman’s E. coli contamination. LOS ANGELES

Mariachis forming union The musicians looking for work at the city’s famed Mariachi Plaza are singing a lot of ai-yai-yai’s these days. With the number of gigs plummeting by more than half over the past two years, competition has gotten so cutthroat at the square that fistfights and shouting matches have erupted as musicians underbid each other to land scarce jobs. Now a group of veteran plaza musicians have banded together to form a type of mariachi labor union to stop what they call “mariachi pirates” from slashing prices to half the going rate. “Mariachi is culture and it’s the way we earn our living,” said guitarist Arturo Ramirez, president of the United Mariachi Organization of Los Angeles. “We have to protect it. This is unfair competition.” But others complain the new organization simply aims to muscle out lower-priced competitors.

Pope Benedict XVI arrives at the Vatican, Saturday.

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican returned to profit last year after three years in the red but donations from the faithful fell nearly $15 million, or 18 percent, amid tough economic times and the explosion of the priest sex abuse scandal. The Vatican issued its annual financial report Saturday, saying it made a profit of (euro) 9.85 million ($14.3 million) in 2010 following a loss of (euro) 4.01 million ($5.8 million) a year earlier

and losses in 2007 and 2008. Revenues were (euro) 245.2 million ($356.1 million) against expenses of (euro) 235.35 million ($341.8 million). In a statement, the Vatican said the results showed a continuing positive trend that began in 2009 but was hampered then by the effects of the global financial downturn. The separately administered Vatican city state also turned a (euro) 21.04 million ($30.6 million) profit, thanks primarily to booming ticket sales at the Vatican Museums. But donations from individuals worldwide, the so-called Peter’s Pence, were down US$14.8 million at US$67.70 million in 2010, an 18 percent drop from the year before. No explanation was given in the statement.

WASHINGTON — Democrats and liberals have a nightmare vision of the Supreme Court’s future: President Barack Obama is defeated for re-election next year and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, at 78 the oldest justice, soon finds her health will not allow her to continue on the bench. The new Republican president appoints Ginsburg’s successor, cementing conservative domination of the court, and soon the justices roll back decisions in favor of abortion rights and affirmative action. But Ginsburg could retire now and allow Obama to name a likeminded successor whose confirmation would be in the hands of a Democratic-controlled Senate. “She has in her power the ability to prevent a real shift in the balance of power on the court,” said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California at Irvine law school. “On the other hand, there’s the personal. How do you decide to leave the United States Supreme Court?” For now, Ginsburg’s answer is, you don’t. There are few more indelicate questions to put to a Supreme Court justice, but Ginsburg has said gracefully, and with apparent good humor, that the president should not expect a retirement letter before 2015. She will turn 82 that year, the same age Justice Louis Brandeis was when he left the court in 1939. Ginsburg, who is Jewish, has said she wants to emulate the court’s first Jewish justice.

Deadly Afghan toll on U.S. forces continues By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — Despite U.S. reports of progress on the battlefield, American troops were killed in the first half of this year at the same pace as in 2010 — an indication that the war’s toll on U.S. forces has not eased as the Obama administration moves to shift the burden to the Afghans. While the overall interna-

tional death toll dropped by 14 percent in the first half of the year, the number of Americans who died remained virtually unchanged, 197 this year compared with 195 in the first six months of last year, according to a tally by The Associated Press. Americans have been involved in some of the fiercest fighting as the U.S. administration sent more than 30,000 extra troops in a bid to pacify ar-

eas in the Taliban’s southern heartland and other dangerous areas. U.S. military officials have predicted more tough fighting through the summer as the Taliban try to regain territory they have lost. President Barack Obama has begun to reverse the surge of American forces, ordering a reduction of 10,000 by the end of the year and another 23,000 by September 2012.

SUNDAY, JULY 3, 2011

THE TIMES LEADER Arthur Havard, left, was one of many child mine laborers photographed by Lewis Hine at a Pittstonarea mine. Havard worked his way up to mine engineer. Author and researcher Joe Manning located his descendants in New England and learned the story of their ancestor. Manning has tracked down relatives of other child laborers as well.

CHILDREN Continued from Page 1A

fated for obscurity, and with it, the stories of the men and boys of the Wyoming Valley whose images were captured by Hine. Nearly 100 years later, Joe Manning embarked on an expedition to reclaim the history of America’s industrial roots. Manning became fascinated with images taken by Hine, though he has rarely had to leave his home in Florence, Mass., to pursue the stories of the people in those images. Manning has nonetheless recovered the stories of more than 250 of them: tales of perseverance, pain, and victory. Starting in 2005 he has worked fervently to reclaim more, before they are lost to the shadows of time forever, and also to show the children and grandchildren of those who posed for Hine a long-forgotten facet of their ancestors. Manning’s quest begins Manning, 70, began his project the way Hine started his: he was given an assignment. Elizabeth Winthrop, celebrated children’s author and good friend to Manning, had found Hine’s photograph of a young girl working in a cotton mill around the turn of the 20th century through the Library of Congress’s website, where all of Hine’s photographs taken for the Child Labor Commission are now located. The photo inspired Winthrop’s children’s novel “Counting on Grace”, the story of a promising student in Vermont who must defer her education to help support her family. “The girl in the novel was based on the picture,” Manning explained, “but Elizabeth didn’t know anything about her. She had made her story up. So once the book was written she told me ‘Okay, now I want to know the real story. Can you find her?’” It was no surprise that she turned to Manning for help. As a 1970 graduate of SUNY Cortland with a BA in sociology and a former caseworker at the Connecticut Department of Social Services, Manning has always had an interest in hearing people’s stories. “I find history enjoyable,” Manning said, “but I wanted to take history back to the home, where it belongs. I was bored with history that celebrated the rich and famous.” So bored was he, in fact, that in 2001, after retiring from the Connecticut Department of Social Services, he published “Disappearing into North Adams,” a book that chronicled his exploration of North Adams, Mass., a

once-thriving industrial town destroyed by the effects of urban renewal and later given new life as a center for contemporary art. To write his book, Manning consulted residents old and young, photographic archives and leads from the Internet, all of which helped galvanize the book as a testament to collective memory and the value of knowing one’s past. He was more than qualified to track down the story Winthrop sought, and he did not disappoint. Manning began his quest by consulting the caption of the photo in question. Hine had identified the girl in 1910 as Addie Laird, a 12-year-old cotton mill worker from Pownal, Vt. While Winthrop was able to determine that the girl’s last name was in fact Card, she could not find any information about her past the 1920 census. Manning persisted, consulting the same sorts of sources that had helped him rediscover the history of North Adams. Within two weeks, he had identified and contacted Card’s granddaughter. Two weeks after that, he stood before Card’s grave. Just after Christmas 2005, Manning interviewed Card’s great-granddaughter. Winthrop had her story, and Manning found a new pastime to pursue in his retirement. “The search for Addie Card made me aware of the more than 5000 photographs taken by Hine, and that they were in the public domain. I was hooked. I wanted to do for the other children in the photos what I did with Addie.” With his wife, Carole’s, blessing, Manning began investigating other photographs. And through his investigation, he would learn of the hard coal fields of the Wyoming Valley. An old story comes to life Since the journey began almost six years ago, Manning has spent his days in his home office, pursuing Hine’s subjects. Manning said, “At first, I just started randomly. Oftentimes, Hine would photograph groups of children, so I

could research 5 or 6 at a time and get a feel for the town where the children lived, the places they worked. Sometimes photos just looked interesting. Other times, an interesting name in Hine’s notes would come up, one that would be fairly easy to research.” It was a combination of these factors that attracted Manning to the pictures Hine snapped in Luzerne County. Some of Hine’s most iconic photographs feature a group of boys from Shaft No. 6 of the Pennsylvania Coal Co. in Pittston. In the series, Hine shows the boys leading mules through the mine, picking coal from shale, and waiting for the cage to take them back to ground level at the closing of the day. According to Manning, whose extended study of Hine has enabled him to develop his own insights into the photographer’s work, the photos shot in Pittston – and elsewhere – endure because of Hine’s method. “Hine was not a typical muckraker photographer, like Joseph Riis for example,” Manning said. “He didn’t want you to feel sorry for the kids, to make them seem like dirty immigrants. He took respectful photos to appeal to those who voted and had political influence. Hine really did two things: he promoted the dignity of work and workers through his photos, and he advocated for a change in child labor laws that would enable kids to go to school and improve their situations. He wanted the middle class to look at the photos and think ‘I like this kid’ or ‘These could be my kids.’ Hine set the children for photos in such a way that you can instantly understand who they are just by looking in their eyes.” One child that Manning particularly connected with was Arthur Havard, a worker in Shaft No. 6 from Pittston. A typical mule driver, Havard was a few months shy of his 14th birthday when Hine snuck into the mine with his Graflex camera. It was Havard’s job to couple the full mine cars together

and to leave an empty car behind in the work chamber. Despite his humble beginnings, Manning thought Havard displayed a determined glimmer in his eye, suggesting he was bound for great things. When Manning connected with Havard’s descendents, he learned his hypothesis was correct. “Joe Manning found my mother’s obituary,” William Havard, Arthur’s grandson who lives in Waverly, Va., explained. “The obituary listed her husband and my father, Kenneth Havard, who was Arthur’s son.” Eventually, Manning found William Harvard’s phone number and explained his project. “We knew the photos existed; my aunt had them,” William Havard said. “But we never knew that Lewis Hine took them, or that they were part of a national movement to reform child labor.” While he at first considered Manning’s phone call very strange, William Havard came to appreciate Manning’s efforts when he realized the validity of the project. He gladly shared Arthur Havard’s story. “My grandfather Arthur was always an extraordinarily important person to this family. He was a genuinely good, honest man who was generous and kind. My first memory is of him. He never forgot his humble beginnings, but they didn’t keep him from becoming solidly middle class and very respected within the Pittston community.” William Havard’s cousin, Karen Sussaman of Shavertown, shared further proof of Arthur Havard’s successful life. “My mother Shirley, Arthur’s daughter, typed up a resume for him once, and she still has it. In it, he says that he worked his way up in the Pennsylvania Coal Company mines until 1921, when he became chief mining engineer for the Racket Brook Coal Company in Carbondale. In 1937, he became an inspector for the Pennsylvania Coal Mine Section of the Pennsylvania Compensation Rating Bureau.” While the Sussamans had the

proof of Arthur Havard’s successful career, Manning’s investigations into the censuses and other local records confirmed his strong presence in Pittston: Arthur Manning lived on Vine, Church, and Oak streets in Pittston, and on Montgomery Avenue in West Pittston later in his life. Researcher looks ahead While Arthur Havard spent most of his life in Luzerne County, Manning has never set foot in it. “I grew up in Maryland, so when I was driving back and forth as a college student from SUNY Cortland, I became familiar with all the turnpike exits. I’ve seen the signs for Pittston, Mahanoy City, and all, but I’ve never visited.” Manning thanks the Internet for being able to conduct his investigations without traveling far from home. He has, however, solicited the help of various area historical societies and libraries. “The people at the Osterhout Library [Wilkes-Barre] are really terrific. They’ve been the most interested and the best to work with. I will call looking for obituaries or things at times and they are always very prompt. I usually get emails back from them within a week.” The skills Manning developed in his 29-year career as a social worker also help him uncover the stories of Hine’s subjects. “For a long time, my specialty as a social worker was helping people who walked through the door for the first time determine their eligibility for services. I had to be able to explain things clearly to them, and to extract information from them in a non-threatening way. There were, naturally, things they often did not want to say, but that they needed to. It’s just a matter of knowing the right questions to ask. I like to think I can make people comfortable, that I know how to talk to them.” William Havard seems to agree. “Joe Manning is a really interesting fellow,” he said. “He always did what he said he would do. If he said ‘I’ll send you this’ or ‘I’ll do

this,’ it was always done. I’ve never even met him, I’ve only spoken with him on the phone a few times. I don’t even know what he looks like.” In truth, Manning’s resemblance to Hine is uncanny. They share a physical appearance so similar that once, while speaking of his research at an event, Lewis Hine’s 80-year-old niece asked Manning, “Do you believe in reincarnation?” “It’s possible,” Manning joked. “Lewis Hine died in 1940 and I was born in 1941.” But their similarities remain interesting, even if they are not ethereal. Hine preferred the comfort of his dark room and did not partake in any form of self-promotion. Likewise, the wonders of the Internet assure Manning that he can conduct his research without having to stray from Florence, Mass., and he certainly doesn’t flout his second career. “I don’t have a monopoly on this idea. The pictures are available to everyone. I’ll never get bored of the project, but I wouldn’t mind if a group of people came forward and wanted to do research, too. I would say, ‘That’s great. Just let me know who you’re working on, and I’ll look up someone else.’” Currently, Manning is working to unearth more information on Neil Gallagher, a Wilkes-Barre native who lost a leg in the Baltimore Tunnel mine and later moved to New York City, where he worked as a truck driver. Manning is also researching Pasquale Salvo, a young mule driver from Shaft No. 6. Manning makes no money on this project. In fact, it has cost him around $20,000 plus time these last five years. While he would love to write a book on the Hine children, he maintains a website to chronicle his findings. “The website is really liberating,” Manning said. “I don’t have to beg to be published, and I am happy to offer all of the stories I write on the kids for free. I do this for the pure joy of reuniting photo and family. I never counted on the emotional aspect of this project.” In a contemplative turn, Manning mused, “Hine took artful photographs, but he didn’t know the meaning of his own photos.”

ELLIS

Ellis takes some pride in the expansion of health-related and culinary arts programs during her tenure. She had hoped to see the plumbing program expand to a broader HVAC – Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning – program. But asked about the most touching moment in her tenure at the center, she only has to reach back a few weeks, to graduation. “I got a diploma,” she said with a grin. “I graduated this year. That was very emotional. They gave me a standing ovation, and I couldn’t even speak after that.” What’s next for the new grad? Ellis said she has agreed to work a few days a month evaluating career and technology centers for the state Department of Education. All centers are periodically checked for compliance with state rules. Mostly she expects to spend more time with “five little children in my extended family,” and take a few sailing trips on a boat three members of that extended family plan to buy in Washington state. But first, “I’m going to DisneyWorld.” Yes, it’s a cliché thanks to those old commercials featuring sports champions. But Ellis has a simple answer. “I haven’t had a vacation in six years.”

WATER

steered her away from dreams of Broadway and Hollywood. “She said you’re good for Wilkes-Barre, but if you step on a stage anywhere else, you’ll be blown off.” Ellis shifted gears, but only partly. She became a music teacher at Northwest Area High School, where she directed plays as well. And while she says “I loved to teach,” when the principal post at the career center opened up after 19 years at Northwest, she applied. “I thought I could put myself in a position to make things better for the kids; that’s what made me go into administration,” she said. She worked her way up to a supervisor post, and was often tasked with explaining chronically poor scores on state standardized math and reading tests given to 11th grade. West Side, she notes, is a rare breed, a “comprehensive” career center responsible for both academic and professional training. Most such schools only get students for half a day of job training, leaving the academic classes to the student’s home district. The career center has nothing to do with a student’s education for the first eight years and then

becomes responsible for the 11thgrade test scores. Boosting scores under such circumstances “is always an uphill battle,” Ellis said. Shortly before she became administrative director, the center did try tightening admission requirements, mandating that students pass English and math before enrolling at West Side. That experiment failed for a simple reason: It was illegal in a public school required to educate all students, and a lawsuit – long settled – emphasized the point. The first year Ellis became administrative director was also the first year West Side managed to meet state-mandated “Adequate Yearly Progress” in improving test scores. “When I found out, I let out a yell so loud they could hear it across the hall,” she said with a laugh. Unfortunately, the success has not been reproduced since. But Ellis offers a silver lining: Scores in tests by the National Occupation Competency Testing Institute have risen steadily under her tenure. This year about 72 percent scored proficient or advanced in those tests. True, she concedes, NOCTI results mean nothing when the state calculates its complicated Adequate Yearly Progress formula, “but they do count toward our mission of training these students for work.”

Governor pledges to bring transparency and openness to the Capitol

Did Corbett change or adopt Harrisburg’s culture? By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG — If Gov. Tom Corbett’s performance in winning passage of a budget is any sign, he lived up to his campaign image as a tax-cutting business advocate. But what about the part of his campaign where he pledged to bring transparency, openness and change to the Capitol? To review, Corbett, a Republican, signed the budget on time — something that tends to please counties, schools, service providers and others who depend on state money to operate. And he says he has ended WAMs, short for “walking around money,” something he had pledged in a campaign TV ad in which he called them “millions of dollars spent on legislators’ pet projects with little oversight.” However, Corbett: • Negotiated the final budget deal in private, as did previous governors. • Agreed to shuffle some new spending onto the books of the just-finished fiscal year as well as a later fiscal year, making his claim of a 4 percent spending reduction substantially inflated. • Refused to sign the budget until the Legislature approved a

separate policy priority of his, a practice that Republican lawmakers criticized as hostage-taking when Corbett’s predecessor, former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell, did it. In addition, the budget bill went to Corbett’s desk just two days after much of the detail in it became public. Meanwhile, key legislation to further limit the ability of school boards to raise property taxes and major changes sought by Corbett to the management of public welfare programs were first unveiled a couple of days before they were passed and signed by Corbett. Asked if the public’s opportunity to see these bills before they became law meets his definition of changing the culture of Harrisburg, openness and transparency, Corbett responded, “Would I like to see everything done sooner? Yes. ... I put out a budget on March 8. The House put out a budget on May 25. The outside parameters were out there for the people. On the various codes and so forth, it’s a process and it’s a process in motion.” His goal, he said, had been to sign a budget in May, and he said his administration will be working to cut the cost of public welfare programs by running them more efficiently and looking for

Corbett promised an on time budget with no new taxes as a campaign promise. And he says he has ended WAMs, short for ‘walking around money,’ something he had pledged in a campaign TV ad in which he called them ‘millions of dollars spent on legislators’ pet projects with little oversight.’ But critics say he has not lived up to his pledge to bring transparency, openness and change.

waste, fraud and abuse. “As I urge everybody, you don’t change this overnight. It’s a process,” Corbett said.

Romney may rethink Iowa position Front-runner will be watching his chief GOP challengers over next six weeks. By THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa — The accelerating GOP presidential campaigns in Iowa probably will define front-runner Mitt Romney’s chief challengers over the next six weeks and could force the former Massachusetts governor to reconsider his decision to mount only modest efforts in this early voting state. Rep. Michele Bachmann’s quick rise in popularity in the leadoff caucus state and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s stubbornly low poll numbers after more than a year of groundwork in Iowa give Romney new opportunities in the state where he has worked to lower expectations in his second campaign. Romney may stick with his plan to tread lightly in Iowa and look to New Hampshire’s leadoff primary for a liftoff in 2012 if there is no opening for him to seize as a consensus choice. But Romney’s healthy fundraising, with as much as $20 million in the three-month reporting period that ended last

week, and his lead in national polls give him flexibility his lessknown rivals lack and make it possible for him to wait to see how the chips fall in Iowa this summer, and decide later whether to up his ante. “I think it’s awfully hard for me at this stage to predict where we’ll spend all our time and devote all our resources,” Romney told The Associated Press this past week. “But we’re focused on running our race, where we think best.” Minnesota’s Bachmann was on her first sustained Iowa campaign trip this weekend. She’s coming off a successful stretch marked by a well-received national debate debut, a widely covered campaign kickoff in her native Iowa and a strong showing in The Des Moines Register’s poll. Bachmann nearly matched Romney, the No. 2 GOP caucus finisher four years ago, for the early Iowa lead in the survey. Criticized for having little caucus campaign heft on her team, Bachmann has named as her deputy national campaign manager David Polyansky, who’s credited with bringing organizational and strategic weight to the 2008 campaign of caucus winner Mike Huckabee. Bachmann has feet in Chris-

tian conservative and tea party camps, and will need to quickly organize within these groups. Polyansky, who helped Huckabee form relationships with Christian home-school advocates in Iowa, for instance, can help behind the scenes. Bachmann’s schedule had her headlining a tea party rally in Des Moines on Saturday. But caucus support is more often sealed in person than in crowds at a rally or along a July Fourth parade route. Bachmann will have to meet privately with influential GOP activists, as she plans to begin this weekend. She’s also staffing a phone bank to drum up support for the Aug. 13 straw poll. “We can’t make enough personal appearances in 40 days to make that happen,” said Bachmann’s Iowa campaign chairman, Kent Sorenson.

fare Committee Chairwoman Pat Vance, R-Cumberland, to grant his regulators broad authority to fast-track changes to a range of welfare programs. Democrats, not to mention the public, didn’t see the proposal until Tuesday when Vance introduced it as an amendment; the chambers both passed it Thursday. Most details about the budget weren’t made public by Republicans until Monday when it emerged as an amendment; it

passed the chambers by the end of Wednesday. The property tax legislation that evolved from Corbett’s negotiations with top Republican lawmakers emerged as an amendment Tuesday; it passed both chambers Thursday. “The Republicans circled the wagons the last couple weeks,” said Sen. Vincent Hughes, D-Philadelphia. “All this was done on their own.” Of course, the concept of changing the culture of Harris-

burg may be in the eye of the beholder. For instance, it could just as easily mean changing the way politicians, state agencies and institutions that rely on state funding think about spending taxpayer money, said David Patti, president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Business Council, a Harrisburg-based business advocacy group. Besides, the last six months wasn’t an ideal time or place to wage a culture-changing fight for transparency and openness while dealing with Pennsylvania’s massive budget deficit, Patti said. Still, a constitutional provision calls for a three-day waiting period in each chamber before a bill can reach a final vote. The point of that is to try to ensure that each piece of legislation gets a semblance of public review before lawmakers vote on it, said Tim Potts, president of the citizen advocacy group Democracy Rising Pa. However, the budget bill, public welfare bill and property tax bill — among others signed by Corbett — each circumvented that process by taking on a major amendment after going through the waiting period in a different form, Potts said.

Bachmann gets early start in Iowa ahead of poll The tea party favorite ranked nearly even with GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney. By THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa — Republican candidate Michele Bachmann spent Saturday shaking hands in Iowa diners and strolling through bustling farmers market as she tried to capitalize on her early popularity in the state that kicks off the presidential campaign season. An Iowa native, the tea party favorite ranked nearly even with GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney in a recent poll of Republicans likely to participate in the state’s lead off caucuses next year. But just six weeks before the state’s closely-watched straw poll, the

Michigan congresswoman has done little to campaign or set up an organization here. Beginning her first susBachmann tained campaign trip to Iowa as an announced candidate, Bachmann introduced herself to audiences from Iowa City to Des Moines in a new campaign bus emblazoned with her name. She spent much of Saturday posing for pictures and signing autographs rather than in meetings with key GOP activists. “I have every confidence our team is going to deliver,” Bachmann told The Associated Press after meeting about 100 supporters and politically curious Iowans at a stop in Marshalltown. “I am going to be here in

Iowa campaigning all through July.” Proof that her Iowa campaign was still coming together met Bachmann in Iowa City, where she met about 100 weekend breakfast regulars and Republican activists at the Bluebird Diner near the University of Iowa. Local resident Sheila Reiland told Bachmann’s campaign chairman in the crowded diner that she signed up last week on Bachmann’s website to volunteer but had heard nothing from any campaign staff. Bachmann had been weighing a presidential bid since January but only began raising money toward a campaign in June. On Saturday, she dismissed claims that she was scrambling to get organized in Iowa. Bachmann said she had been laying the groundwork for her Iowa campaign since last month.

and there were some burned cars in there; but, to my knowledge there was no dump,” Pittston Township Supervisor Stephen Rinaldi said. Former Pittston mayor and Pittston Redevelopment Authority Chairman Mike Lombardo also said he didn’t know of and couldn’t find record of the area being used as a dump. Others recall dump But residents around the area said they remember the dump. “It wasn’t a dump that you went and paid to dump there,” said Chuck Menichini. “People were just dumping.” Another man who did not wish

be identified but said he has lived on Carroll Street for 42 years said certain companies in the area dumped trash from a rock ledge and into an old, now filled-in railroad cut inside Stauffer Point during the 1960s. Menichini and the other man both said water pours from the point and flows down Carroll and Mill streets during heavy rainfall. Marie Manganiello, who lives next to the entrance to Stauffer Point, also said there was a dump site on the railroad tracks running through the area in the 1960s, and pointed out the area where the old railroad tracks running parallel to Wilson Street go underground into Stauffer Point. Manganiello, 67, who said she has lived in Pittston and Duryea her entire life, said she would like DEP to investigate the alleged dump site. “My concern is that the govern-

John Yudichak, DPlymouth Township, on May 31 sent a letter to DEP Secretary Michael Krancer asking if the department could conduct additional testing around the Butler Mine Tunnel. “Understandably, residents who participated in the May 24th meeting were not satisfied with the responses of the EPA,” Yudichak wrote. “I would like to know if the department would be able to conduct additional soil, water, and air testing so that residents may get some definitive answers to their questions.” He also asked DEP to investigate the alleged landfill, explain-

ing that a DEP employee suggested it may warrant investigation at the May meeting with the EPA. DEP Northeast Regional Director Michael Bedrin said DEP is reviewing Yudichak’s letter and putting together a proposed response. Yudichak said he has also had an ongoing discussion with Krancer and his staff about the issue. U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, also said he would continue to press the EPA and work with state lawmakers on the issue. Meanwhile, the Menichinis said they will continue to push for more testing. “They think I’m going to go away,” said Chuck’s son, Chris Menichini. “Absolutely not. I will fight to the day I die; that’s a promise to them… There’s just too much I see that’s wrong, and too much that they’re not doing, and all I want is help. That’s all I want.”

Enacting hotel tax helped to ‘build’ the Mohegan Sun Arena A hotel tax was something only done in Philadelphia and Allegheny counties.

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

When people watch a WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguins game, or an Elton John concert or a Cirque du Soleil performance locally, they’re doing it in an arena that almost wasn’t. In the 1995 May county primary voters rejected a referendum question asking whether the county should guarantee up to $22 million in revenue anticipa-

tion bonds to fund what is now the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. The referendum lost by 48 votes. Then came the idea to seek state Legislature approval for a hotel tax, which at the time was something only done in Philadelphia and Allegheny counties – the state’s two big tourism destinations with hundreds of hotels and motels. The successful effort was led by Kevin Blaum and Steve Barrouk, who both were members of the Luzerne County Convention Center Authority at the time. Blaum, also a Democratic member of the House, got the bill

through his chamber, but getting it approved by the Republicancontrolled Senate, in the final days of the 1993-94 session, was another story. He credited then state Sens. Charles Lemmond, a Dallas Republican, and Ray Musto, a Pittston Township Democrat, for getting support in the Senate.

It was approved on the session’s final day and then-Gov. Robert P. Casey signed the bill into law just before leaving office. Without that tax, Blaum said, the arena would not be here today. Reminiscing about the time the arena vote was being shot down, the hotel tax was approved to save the day and then the legal battles with some hoteliers, Blaum said he believes the success of the arena and the thriving hotel industry in the county are proof that the efforts were worth it. “It’s no burden. The people are DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER still using our hotel rooms,” Blaum said. Steve Barrouk, left, and Kevin Blaum helped make arena a reality.

though most are at a lower percentage rate. “It’s not even an issue any more,” said Merle Mackin, executive director Luzerne County Convention and Visitors Bureau. In the battle hotel owners waged against the tax, some said visitors would steer clear of local lodging and go to a neighboring county where no such tax applied. Others believed hotel operators might view this county differently and perhaps locate elsewhere. Courts decided the tax was constitutional and it began appearing on guests’ bills. A lot has changed in the decade and a half since, mostly proving that the tax was not as dire a deal as some believed, although at least one steadfast opponent maintains the tax hurts business. At least 10 new hotels, motels or bed and breakfasts have opened in the county, adding 650 rooms for guests. The arena, the driving force behind the controversial tax, is thriving and will celebrate its 12th anniversary in November. Dozens of businesses, including some hotels, have been built nearby along Highland Park Boulevard, making it one of the larger retail corridors in the county. And for hoteliers, perhaps most important, other counties in the region and nation have followed suit and implemented similar taxes, thus leveling the playing field. In this region, Lackawanna County levies a 4 percent tax; the Pocono Mountain counties of Monroe, Carbon, Wayne and Pike, the Endless Mountain counties of Sullivan, Wyoming, Bradford and Susquehanna, and Schuylkill County collect a 3 percent. “Initially it took some time to

did. But, she added, “things seem to be getting better.” April, the most recent monthly figures available on the hotel tax, generated $190,447. That’s the most ever collected in April since the tax was first levied. The same could be said about the $192,632 collected in March and the $143,797 generated in January. And calendar year 2010 was the best ever in terms of the hotel tax, with $2.195 million collected, beating the previous high set in 2007 when $2.081 was raised. The tax is collected by most places where overnight lodging takes place, with exceptions like campsites. Most of the revenue is used to pay off the $22.1 million in bonds that financed the construction of the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza and 20 percent of it goes to the Luzerne County Convention and Visitors Bureau for the promotion of events and attractions in the county. Since 2008, Luzerne County has taken a 2 percent administrative fee off the top.

Mackin said the hotel tax generates between 70 and 80 percent of his office’s budget. Without the tax, tourist promotion activities would be severely strained. At a time when gas prices are high and day trips are gaining popularity, Luzerne County benefits. Not having the ability to properly promote the region would be devastating to the tourism-related businesses, he said. New hotels built Not only hasn’t the hotel tax scared hotel operators from opening facilities in Luzerne County, some of those that have opened have done so within the arena’s shadow. At least 10 hotels or bed and breakfasts have opened since the tax went into effect. Among them are two hotels that opened near the arena in 2002: The Host Inn & Residential Suites and the Hilton Garden Inn. Both are in Wilkes-Barre Township. Hotels near the arena were not the only ones opening. Some also came to the southern part of the county, including a Fairfield Inn in West Hazleton in 2002; a

Residence Inn in Hazle Township and a Candlewood Inn & Suites in Sugarloaf Township, both of which opened in 2008; and a Courtyard by Marriott in Hazle Township in 2009. Frank McCabe, president and chief operating officer of High Hotels, the Lancaster-based hotel group that operates the Hilton Garden Inn in Wilkes-Barre Township, said the hotel tax was no deterrent and the arena was the driving force for the company to look at Wilkes-Barre in the first place. “We probably would not have been as interested (in coming to Wilkes-Barre without the arena),” McCabe said. As for the room tax, McCabe said most travelers do not bat an eye. “It’s a fact of life, like baggage fees on airlines. Just part of the price of traveling,” he said. “The way I view it, if you’re going to visit an area, you’ll find a hotel there. The room tax will not be a deterrent.” It’s grown so much so that only two counties in the state – Fulton and Perry – do not levy such a tax.

Tom Corbett achieves much of first-year agenda as governor of Pa. Lawmakers, lobbyists and outside observers give the administration mixed marks overall. By PETER JACKSON Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Freshman Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett achieved much of his austerity agenda in the General Assembly this year, but his push to establish school vouchers collapsed and the clamor for imposing a levy on natural gas drilling showed no sign of letting up as lawmakers began their summer recess. Lawmakers, lobbyists and outside observers give the administration mixed marks overall, but his first-year track record was strong — thanks to assists from the Republican majorities in both houses. “In the end, he was very firm and decisive about what he wanted,” said G. Terry Madonna, a pollster and professor at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster. “We’ll wait to see how the voters react.” Corbett made clear from the start that his No. 1 priority was balancing the state budget in the face of a projected $4 billion deficit, without violating his campaign vow not to increase taxes. The $27.2 billion budget Corbett signed minutes before fiscal 2011-12 began Friday did just that. As tweaked by GOP lawmakers, the budget reduces overall spending by about 3 percent while keeping state tax rates level. Spending for public schools and high-

er education is being cut by more than $1 billion, while some business taxes are being reduced and state contributions to school employees’ pensions are being increased. The administration gained broad new authority to make major changes in a range of safety-net programs to offset hundreds of millions of dollars cut from the Department of Public Welfare. The budget also contains a surplus of hundreds of millions of dollars resulting from better-than-expected tax collections in 2010-11 that Corbett wanted to salt away for future needs. Corbett threw his clout behind business groups’ years-old campaign for “fair-share” legislation limiting the liability for negligence of defendants in some civil court cases. He signed the bill

into law Wednesday. “He did pretty well ... for a first year when you look at the size of the deficit,” said Gene Barr, a vice president of the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry. Also approved as part of the governor’s legislative program was a bill that will make it harder for school boards to raise taxes beyond the inflation rate without a referendum. But the more divisive issue of school vouchers — using taxpayer money to send children to private schools or public schools outside their home districts — was left unresolved in a House and Senate stalemate. The politically volatile issue of taxing the natural gas drilling boom in the

state’s northern and western tiers generated more than a dozen bills, with most Democrats and many Republicans favoring some sort of levy, but the debate never reached the floor. Corbett has said he would consider imposing a limited impact fee to help communities affected by the drilling, but not until his hand-picked study commission makes recommendations later this month. Outside the Capitol, unlike some GOP governors in other states who noisily battled with public-employee unions, Corbett’s administration with little fanfare negotiated tentative four-year pacts with the state’s two largest unions, representing 55,000 of the 60,000 unionized state workers. They include a one-year wage freeze, benefit givebacks and a series of modest pay raises. Corbett had a strong working relationship with the House Republicans, although some members fretted early on that he might concede too much on state spending or new taxes, House Majority Leader Mike Turzai said Friday. “We just wanted to make sure that he was going to hang tough, and he did,” said the Allegheny County lawmaker. The governor’s harshest critics are Democratic legislators, who say they’ve been totally excluded from budget discussions. “It’s an ugly budget that didn’t have to be that way,” said Rep. Frank Dermody, D-Allegheny, the House minority leader. Corbett “has to recognize that we’re a separate branch of government. Sometimes you get the attitude that he doesn’t think that’s the case,” Dermody said. Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa

echoed those complaints but said he believes the session was “a relationshipbuilding experience for everyone.” He predicted growing bipartisanship as lawmakers tackle school vouchers and three issues that the administration is studying — a natural gas tax, transportation funding and the privatization of liquor and wine sales. “The issues that we’ll be discussing in the fall ... will end up requiring more openness and more cooperative conversations,” the Allegheny County Democrat said. Sen. Jake Corman, the Republican chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said the governor was slow to respond to gestures of cooperation from both the House and Senate early in his tenure. “Maybe because of the ‘bonusgate’ investigation there was a little less trust on his part,” the Centre County lawmaker said, referring to the ongoing probe into alleged legislative corruption that Corbett launched in 2007 while he was state attorney general. At any rate, Corman said, communications with the governor’s office have noticeably improved. “It’s an evolving relationship. It’ll improve every day. I look for bigger and better things ahead,” he said. David Patti, president and chief executive of the Harrisburg-based Pennsylvania Business Council, said the administration will have its hands full when lawmakers return — not only with the issues Costa cited but in dealing with the growing number of financially distressed cities and how to pay off Pennsylvania’s nearly $4 billion unemployment compensation trust fund debt.

TOM MOONEY REMEMBER WHEN

Icky monsters put the fun in summertime

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

YOMING — On Aug. 3, 2008, lightning struck the Wyoming Monument. The damage was significant. It moved the top two rows of stones at least two inches, damaged the joints on the monument’s cap, blew out a small chunk of concrete and cracked and pushed out a plaque listing the names of survivors of the Battle of Wyoming, which the monument commemorates.

Nearly three years —- and $125,000 — later, the monument has been restored and will welcome hundreds of visitors Monday for the annual program marking the 233rd anniversary of the Revolutionary War battle that took place nearby. Kenneth Wolensky, an author and historian who grew up in Trucksville, will be the keynote speaker. He now lives in Grantville and works

at the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in Harrisburg. Wolensky, who has written books about historical events and is familiar with the significance of the monument, was chosen “so he could highlight the importance of monuments,” said Bill Lewis, who is involved with the Wyoming Monument Commemo-

Next weekend’s Briggs Farm Blues Festival will be your 14th. What first inspired you to start the annual event? “I was 16 in 1969 and was working here on the farm, and I remember thinking about Woodstock and what was going on. I didn’t go to Woodstock. I was actually picking tomatoes. But I remember thinking about it then. It was something that was in my head even when I was a kid.” Who are some of the more memorable artists who have performed at the festival over the years? “Last year, we had 94-year old David ‘Honeyboy’ Edwards. That was definitely an historically defining moment for us. He was part of the very early days of the blues in the South. He was a contemporary of Robert Johnson’s and had played with him. To

have him play on our stage at Briggs Farm was truly an amazing thing for me and for a lot of people that came to watch him. It’s like the holy grail of the blues experience.” The farm has been in your family since 1760. That actually pre-dates the American Revolution. “They settled it and cleared it. I’m generation nine, my sons are generation 10 and the grandkids are 1 1. Our house was built by my great-great grandfather in 1877.” In addition to running the festival, you also worked at WVIA-TV for 22 years and produced numerous film documentaries. Which one stands out the most? “The most memorable piece I made for WVIA was the last one, ‘Voices From Vietnam.’ Meeting those guys and talking to them — to a man, they all cried. And they were telling me stuff that they hadn’t told anybody be-

fore, so it was quite an amazing experience.” Music? “What you listen to when you’re a teenager growing up is usually what you’re going to be interested in for the rest of your life. At that time, ’68 to ’71, I was into Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Dylan, Cream, The Doors ... blues-based bands. There was a lot of blues-based rock going on then, and that’s what I still listen to. I also listen to a lot of contemporary blues and old recordings of blues.” Favorite city? “Barcelona. We also love Boston, where our son Drew lives. It’s a young city with lots of restaurants and lots of music.” Follow sports? “The Eagle Hose Little League team in Berwick, my grandson’s See MEET, Page 6B

or my money, nothing screams “summer fun” like a gigantic scaly creature rising from the depths of the ocean and stomping on the fleeing crowds while demolishing San Francisco or Manhattan or whatever. One of the joys of this season in days past was getting the bejabbers scared out of you, courtesy of the creative titans in Hollywood. The big-budget epics like “From Here to Eternity” or “Singin’ in the Rain” invariably appeared during the colder months. Summer was for monstrous apparitions from the primeval past, newly transplanted to Main Street. That’s not to say we haven’t had some good creature features in recent decades. “Jurassic Park” (not its sorry sequels, however) was scary, and it also made us think about human pride. I liked “Independence Day” with its aliens who saw us as maybe a step up from plankton and its celebration of the brotherhood of humanity. But today you just don’t get the steady summertime diet of enormous lizards, creepy-crawlies and lab experiments gone nightmarishly haywire. Recently I watched on TV two of my old favorites — “The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms” (1953) and “It Came From Beneath the Sea” (1955). In each of these flicks an enormous something (octopus, tyrannosaurus) whose very existence is debated at length by hidebound government leaders suddenly sweeps all discussion aside as it slithers ashore. Incidentally, the black-and-white of these old films gave them an oh-my-god newsreel quality, not the “pretty” appearance of today’s monsters. It was almost (and I stress the “almost”) like old times. The biggest difference was that I didn’t have to walk home in darkness from the Hart Theater, holding my breath and giving hurried sidelong glances at whispering trees and the yawning spaces between houses. An alternative back then, of course, was the family piling into the car, along with enough food for the 109th Field Artillery on maneuvers, and heading out to a drive-in such as the Moonlight, the Garden, the WilkesBarre or the West Side. There was something about being cooped up in the back seat, even though mom and dad were in front, that fueled delicious nightmares for weeks — a rare experience for kids today. A child blubbering at 3 a.m. about a dismal specter dragging him away would probably bring not a parental “it’s only a movie, dear” but “where’s our lawyer’s phone number?” Not only are the neighborhood theaters and the drive-ins gone, but the screamfests that filled their coffers aren’t even being made anymore. I guess today’s endless tales of young, well-toned vampires wearing Armani clothing have their merits. But I really don’t find those merits to include gut-wrenching terror that something from another world might squish you. Want to get a taste of old-time fear? Search out DVDs or whatever of 1950s classics “Them” (giant poisonous ants) “The War of the Worlds” (invaders from Mars), “The Creature from the Black Lagoon” (bloodthirsty underwater humanoid), “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (alien takeover of people in a small town) or “The Thing” (crashed and vengeful saucer monster). So here we are in July. You say you love the hiss of steaks on the barbecue grill? Hah! Give me the hiss of some slimy terror or a UFO death ray any day. Now THAT’S the good ol’ summertime.

Churches employ new Bible school methods By JESSAMY BROWN McClatchy Newspapers

FORT WORTH, Texas — Call it vacation Bible school on steroids. At The Hills Church of Christ in North Richland Hills, Texas, more than 6,300 people attended last week’s “Summer Spectacular” event designed to bring the story of Noah’s ark to life, complete with a petting zoo and a Broadway-style musical that recounted the tale over three nights. It’s a stark contrast to the Vacation Bible School days of the past, when kids made praying hands out of plaster and listened to Bible stories before nap time. Today’s summer-based schools are more akin to day camp than Sunday school, with churches using elaborate props, electronics

and themed curricula that can be bought from church denominations or publishers. The materials make it easier for church officials to plan the events and provide lessons that connect to the religious concepts they want to emphasize, church youth directors say. “I like to say it’s not your mom and dad’s VBS,” said Patty Weaver, children’s minister at The Hills. “We believe that God’s word is so powerful that if we make it culturally relevant then it will really penetrate the heart of the child. It just needs to speak to their world today. We need to make sure we’re telling it in a way that connects with children.” This month, Travis Avenue Baptist Church in Fort Worth launched its VBS program, which is advertised on a billboard on In-

terstate 35W. Children in kindergarten through sixth grade will participate in the “Big Apple Adventure.” They’ll do games and activities to help them learn a concept each day, all based on landmarks they would see on a New York City trip. The church sanctuary is being decorated in a 15-foot backdrop of Times Square. Officials rented a Statue of Liberty prop from the Tarrant Baptist Association that it made for a training session, said Scott Eudaley, children’s minister. Travis Avenue Baptist started using themes in the late 1990s to help make the program more engaging to today’s youth, Eudaley said. First United Methodist Church See BIBLE, Page 6B

Teen honors father’s legacy By ELLEN WILKOWE The Record (Hackensack, N.J.)

Bus Brigade students earn awards at GNA Elementary Fifth-grade students in the Bus Brigade at Greater Nanticoke Area Elementary Center were recently presented with certificates and pins during the annual Awards Day program. The Bus Brigade was responsible for escorting second-grade students from Kennedy School to the Elementary Center daily. They were also involved in training fourth-grade students to take over this duty next year. The students also enjoyed a movie and a pizza party for their efforts. Members of the Bus Brigade, from left, first row, are Rebecca Bavitz, Morgan Bienkowski, Miranda Bohn, Emily Brozozowski, Matthew Daniele, Michelle Guziak, Ryan Helmecki and Codi Hornlein. Second row: Brandon Karavitch, David Mash, Cassidy Moore, Faith Moyer, Brandon Murphy, Brandon Murtha and Joseph O’Hara.

Also a member of the brigade is Caven Pollick.

It’s not every day a 15-year-old decides to start a business, never mind a nonprofit organization. But that’s exactly what Phoebe Steinfeld did to honor her late father, Ned, who died of cancer in 2009. “After my dad died, I felt strongly about doing something to honor his legacy of being a businessman and inventor,” said the New Jersey sophomore, who is now 16. An optometrist with several practices, Steinfeld also held patents in polarized light technology. Phoebe drew on her love of fashion to create Color Me Cured, a line of nontoxic nail polish and T-shirts. Nearly 100 percent of sales will benefit research for the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. “I wanted an easy way to get people involved and make small contributions,” she said. With an assist from her mother, Nancy, and sister Hallie, Phoebe hit the ground running.

In sticking to her own cancerfighting campaign — “inspiration, hope and support, one bottle at a time” — Phoebe secured a manufacturer to deliver nail polish free of common chemical culprits such as toluene, formaldehyde, dibutyl phthlate and camphor. “I thought it was important to have a healthier product,” she said. “There is so much to be aware of in terms of harmful ingredients.” With names like “Walking on Sunshine,” “Banish the Blues” and “Orange You Glad,” the colors not only brighten one’s nails, but one’s spirits as well. A work in progress since last June, Color Me Cured debuted officially May 12 at an invitationonly party in New York. The gathering raised $10,000 from product sales and individual do-

Buble horn players host clinic for young jazz musicians TUNKHANNOCK: Country Music, a local music store in Sweet Valley, and the Conn-Selmer Corporation recently sponsored Michael Buble’s horn section to provide a clinic for young jazz musicians in the Tunkhannock School District. Prior to their performance at the Mohegan Sun Arena, six members of the horn section provided a free clinic to students in the middle and high school jazz programs. Band members, Nick Vayenas, trombone and trumpet; Jake Saslow, tenor saxophone; Justin Ray, trumpet; Rob Wilkerson, alto saxophone; Josh Brown, trombone; and Jacob Rodriguez, baritone saxophone are all qualified clinicians for the Conn-Selmer Corporation. Conn-Selmer is the last major manufacturer of musical instruments in America and is an advocate for music education. The musicians split up into three groups of two. One group worked with the middle school jazz band under the direction of Kevin Kreinberg. The other two groups worked with two jazz groups at the high school under the direction of band director Ryan Zellner. Each director took his band through a tune and the Buble band members listened and demonstrated their own horns for the students, recommending improvements. The school students then played the improved selections. Members of the Buble band also conducted a question and answer session with the students.

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

Fun trumps the scoreboard in this game

hey all want to be big leaguers some day. But for now, playing a Little League All-Star game against an arch rival under the lights was a pretty big deal to Pittston City and Pittston Township. It was one of those games kid players dream about, where the victors feel the elation of accomplishment and the losing team anguishes with defeat. But this really wasn’t about winning or losing. It was more about the spirit of the competition that made for so much fun Friday between two teams from the Pittston area at the Pittston Twp. Little League Field. Isn’t that what youth sports are supposed to be about, having fun? “Ultimately, if you’re not having fun, you shouldn’t be playing the game,” Pittston Twp. coach Joe DeLucca said. “I tell them, ‘Don’t think about the outcome. Enjoy the journey.’ ” You want to watch a journey? Take a look at the pitch Pittston Twp. catcher Andy Adkins, his team’s second batter of the game, sent orbiting over the left-field wall for his first home run of the season. As he crossed the plate with the first run of an 8-1 Pittston Twp. victory, Adkins removed his cap and revealed a stunning Mohawk crewcut. “We all did it for All-Stars,” said Adkins, who went 3-for-3 in the game.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – It would be nearly impossible to get better pitching in a doubleheader than the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees got on Saturday. Yankees hurlers allowed just three hits by the Pawtucket Red Sox, which led to twin shutout wins of 7-0, and 3-0, to the disappointment of a capacity McCoy Stadium crowd of 10,111. D.J. Mitchell pitched a complete game oneYANKEES hitter in the opener, while three pitchers, led by starter RED SOX George Kontos, combined for a glittering twohit performance in the nightcap. Brandon Laird fueled the Yankees offense by smashing two-run homers in both games. It all served to ease the Yankees a game and half past Pawtucket into second place in the Northern Division standings. “We’re definitely grinding it out there,” said Kontos, who came out of the bullpen to make his second start of the season. “We’re playing pretty well. There are a couple of games we’d like to have back, but I think we’re going to keep doing well.” Mitchell (5-7) was outstanding in recording his third career complete game (all seven-inning affairs). He took a no-hitter into the fifth inning before giving up a clean single to left by Tony Thomas with one away. It was the only thing even close to a base hit allowed by the thirdyear pro, who threw 100 pitches, 62 of them for strikes. All told, he allowed just four bases runners, having walked two and hit a batter. It was the third time in Mitchell’s brief pro career in which he went six or more innings while allowing just one hit. The first of those came in his pro debut while he was at Single-A Tampa, on April 10, 2009.

WIMBLEDON, England — One might reasonably have expected Petra Kvitova, not Maria Sharapova, to be betrayed by nerves in the Wimbledon final. This was, after all, Kvitova’s first Grand Slam championship match, while Sharapova already owned three major titles, including one from the All England Club. So Kvitova decided to pretend she was heading out on Centre Court to play in the fourth round. That mindset worked. So, too, did nearly everything Kvitova tried once play began, particularly her big, flat left-handed groundstrokes that pushed Sharapova back on her heels. In a surprisingly lopsided final, Kvitova beat the higher-seeded, yet shakier, Sharapo-

point final.” If there were those who wondered how the eighth-seeded Kvitova would handle the setting and the pressure, her coach did not. Indeed, David Kotyza had an inkling his new pupil possessed the right stuff to win titles shortly after they began working together about 21⁄2 years ago. That’s because he was See WIMBLEDON , Page 8C

New overall leader Philippe Gilbert of Belgium rides in the pack during the first stage of the Tour de France cycling race.

MONT DES ALOUETTES, France — Philippe Gilbert won the first stage of the Tour de France on Saturday to take the yellow jersey, while defending champion Alberto Contador lost more than a minute because of a late crash. The Belgian rider, who dazzled fans by winning three classics races in April, sped ahead from the pack in the final several hundred yards and kissed his jersey as he crossed the line. “It was the last 500 meters, I had a lead ... (and) I went for it,” Gilbert said. “It was an extreme effort and I was able to take advantage.” Gilbert, who has notched 13 victories between race and stage wins this year, had been a favorite to win the opening stage. He clocked 4 hours, 41minutes, 31seconds

Based on that final balloting update, it appears the American League starting lineup for the All-Star game will be loaded with Yankees and Red Sox. Here we go again. Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz, Robinson Cano, Adrian Gonzalez. All probably are headed to Phoenix, with several other teammates in tow. That might rankle fans around the country, but take a look at the numbers. With the exception of New York catcher Russell Martin and aging

Jose Bautista leads in AllStar voting.

Fairness, fun and Little League New look, new success. Maybe that was the key for Pittston Twp. cleanup man Kyle O’Fier, who also slugged his first homer in the first inning and celebrated with a couple quick hand claps as he crossed home. He apparently didn’t want Pittston City to feel a similar rush, because O’Fier also pitched a one-hitter with seven strikeouts through 5 2/3 innings before reaching his pitch limit. “I was just one out away from pitching a complete game,” O’Fier groaned. But he couldn’t feel too bad. “My sinker was on today,” O’Fier said. “Also got my first home run.” If it seemed Joe DeLucca Jr. was running home all night, well, he was. The star shortstop and son of the Pittston Twp. coach slammed a triple and a double, scored three times and knocked in two runs. “He’s our team leader,” his proud dad said. “As he goes, we go. And he’s going really well right now.” Things weren’t going all bad for Pittston City during the night. Robbie Wychock came around to score his team’s lone run on Hunter Booth’s hard ground out. And 11-year-old Dylan Spurlin, a youngster playing with mostly 12-yearolds, came off the bench to smoke a hard single to center field for Pittston City’s lone hit. Why in the world didn’t he start? Ask his dad, Tom Sperlin. He’s the Pittston City coach. “I want him out there as much as he wants to be out there, if not more,” Tom Sperlin said. “It’s very tough, being a manager and having kids sit out. I try to be fair to everybody.” Little League Baseball was built on those principles of fairness and fun. It’s why a game such as the one Pittston City and Pittston Twp. played Friday under bright lights can feel like as thrilling as any big league game to every player on both teams. “Prime time,” coach Joe DeLucca grinned. “ESPN.” His team of nine players – no reserves – hopes to make more highlights in the District 16 tournament. Such anticipation ended for Pittston City players with Friday’s final pitch, which brought frowns to their faces. At least until someone yelled “Pizza.” Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist. You may reach him at 970-7109 or email him at psokoloski@timesleader.com.

YANKEESSUNDAY Double-A Trenton joins Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as Yankees farm clubs who make a habit of reaching the playoffs

YA N K E E S O N T H E FA R M

Top-10 prospects include SWB trio

PHILS IN THE MINORS

Catching prospect stars in Class-A ball

Editor’s Note: The Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees have taken a page from their parent club by winning championships. SWB has racked up four consecutive International League North Division titles and more could be on the way because the minor league system is stacked with top prospects that are close to contributing at the Triple-A or Major League level, according to Baseball America. Here’s a look at the organization’s top 10 prospects, before the season, where they are now and how they are faring:

Editor’s Note: The 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. Here’s a look at how the preseason top 10 prospects in the Philadelphia organization are faring and where they are currently playing: By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

D2’S PRO PRESENCE

Hazleton grad on I.L. All-Star team Times Leader staff reports

Russ Canzler: The Hazleton Area grad continues to have a solid season for Durham, the Triple-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, as he was selected to start at third base for the International League in the Triple-A All-Star Game. The third baseman is hitting .275 with eight home runs, 44 RBI, five stolen bases and an on-base percentage of .384 after Friday’s action. He has also recently seen some playing time in right field for the Bulls. The All-Star Game, which pits the International League stars against the Pacific Coast League stars, will be held Wednesday, July 13, in Salt Lake City and will be televised on the MLB Network. Corey Spangenberg: An Abington Heights grad and the 10th overall draft pick by the Padres last month, he has gotten off to a stellar start for the Short-Season Eugene (Ore.) Emeralds. In his first 15 games, the second baseman is batting .408 (15-for-49) with one home run, 15 RBI and four stolen bases.

Manny Banuelos, a 5-foot-11, 155-pound, 20-year-old left-hander, has a 3-1 record and a 3.38 ERA for the Double-A Trenton Thunder this season.

year-old missed 20 games this season with a concussion, but he’s still hitting .298 with four home runs and 33 RBI in 50 games at Trenton. He has been touted as the strongest defensive catcher in the organization. He showed that in a recent game when he gunned down attempted base stealer and Toronto prospect Anthony Gose, who leads all of Double-A with 38 stolen bases. Romine also will play in the Futures Game for the second straight year. The game will be held in Arizona on July 10, two days before the Diamondbacks host the MLB All-Star Game. Last year, Romine played in the Futures Game in Anaheim. “I like him, he has a great idea how we can make the pitches,” Banuelos said about Romine. “He has a good idea how we can pitch to a hitter. I like when he’s behind the plate with me.”

One of the most infamous events in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre franchise history occurred on July 3, 2001 when the Red Barons visited Pawtucket. The Barons defeated the PawSox, 10-3, on that Tuesday night, but chaos ensued in the eighth inning. SWB’s Blas Cedeno threw a pair of inside pitches to Izzy Alcantara, who was displeased with the close pitches. After the second pitch, Alcantara dropped his bat, and kicked Red Barons catcher Jeremy Salazar in the shoulder. Alcantara then charged Cedeno. Before Alcantara reached Cedeno, Kevin Orie ran over from third base and tackled Alcantara by the ankles. Several players from both teams piled on top of Alcantara and Orie, but no one was seriously injured. The incident was believed to be a possible repercussion from bad blood between the two teams that began two months earlier when Alcantara hit a pair of long home runs off Red Barons starter Brandon Duckworth, then took a slow trot around the bases. Later in that game, Alcantara was plunked by Red Barons reliever Pete Zamora.

KINGSTON – Back Mountain entered Saturday’s district championship game at a significant disadvantage – it had no remaining pitchers. Its only pitcher – Olivia Mennig – threw a complete game in Friday’s contest with Kingston/ Forty Fort. Due to Little League rules, she was unable to pitch again in the rematch between the two teams. With Back Mountain forced to use position players on the mound, Kingston/Forty Fort took advantage at the plate, piling on 10 hits in a four-inning 13-2 victory that assured it the District 31 Little League major softball title. “Unfortunately, we only have one pitcher,” Back Mountain coach Deanna Mennig said. “Today was the first day she couldn’t pitch for us, and we really don’t have any experienced pitchers left on our team.” Kingston/Forty Fort advances to the Pennsylvania Section 5 championships, held at District 16 winner Nanticoke, on Tues-

“From where I was,” said SWB skipper Dave Miley, “he threw the ball well. I thought (catcher Jesus) Montero did a great job with him. It was a real good outing.

5-2 victory on Friday. With a 3-1 lead, KFF poured on nine runs in the second inning – thanks to six singles. Fourteen batters came to the plate, and Kingston/Forty Fort came through with a 12-1 lead. “We hit the ball, I’m going to leave it at that,” Kingston/Forty Fort coach Dave Levenoskie said. “Their pitcher (Lauren Dotter) pitched well. We just hit the ball extremely well today.” Kingston/Forty Fort was carried by Brittany Hebda. Hebda tripled twice, scored two runs and produced two RBI. Melinda Holena and Madison Blejwas each contributed with two hits. Each spot in the KFF batting order manufactured an RBI. “We had timely hits; there were a lot of big hits,” Levenoskie said. “Every body up and down the lineup hit well for us.” Mennig had an RBI double for Back Mountain. Kaley Egan went 1-for-2 with a run. KFF was supported by a defense that took away several scoring chances.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — David Ragan earned the first Sprint Cup victory of his career Saturday night with a push from teammate Matt Kenseth that helped Ragan atone for one of the biggest gaffe’s of his young career. He might have won the season-opening Daytona 500 when he lined up as the leader on a late restart in NASCAR’s season-opening event. But he was penalized for passing too early, and the life-changing victory instead went to Trevor Bayne. Now Ragan has his own win at Daytona International Speedway, albeit in the lesser of the races. That made little difference to the 25-year-old second-generation NASCAR driver. “Everybody kept talking about (the Daytona 500), I just kept trying to zero it out,” Ragan said. Ragan could now find himself in contention for a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. The win pushed Ragan to 17th in the standings, and two spots in the Chase will go to the winningest drivers ranked between 11 and 20. “Not a better night to win, this is awesome,” Ragan said. Kenseth finished second to give Roush Fenway Racing a 1-2 sweep for Ford. Joey Logano, who won his first Daytona race Friday night with a Nationwide Series victory, finished third in a Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. Kasey Kahne was fourth in a Toyota for Red Bull Racing and Kyle Busch was fifth for JGR. Jeff Gordon made a terrific late-race save to avoid a raceending wreck and finished sixth in a Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. Kevin Harvick was seventh for Richard Childress Racing and claimed the series points lead after an early accident caused previous leader Carl Edwards to finish 37th. Paul Menard was eighth, while Juan Pablo Montoya and AJ Allmendinger rounded out the top 10. PENSKE PROGRESS: Roger Penske credited the recent upswing of his two-car NASCAR organization to operating under a one-team philosophy. But, he doesn’t exactly discred-

“I just tried to throw my best pitches,” said Kontos, “and get some innings for us, and things went real well.” Kontos handed off a 1-0 lead to Logan Kensing (1-0), who threw two innings in picking up the win. Randy Flores closed out the seventh to earn his third save. NOTES: The day began in bizarre fashion, when Yankees skipper Miley inadvertently turned in an improper lineup card, which caused about 10

minutes worth of head scratching before Game 1 could resume. … The Yankees bid goodbye to RHP Carlos Silva, who was handed his release. Silva (2-1, 3.52) made just four appearances with the club (all starts), and none since June 19. … The Yankees will wrap up their short stay here (and their longest road trip of the season) today at 6 p.m. when LHP Greg Smith (2-1, 3.61) is slated to go against Pawtucket RHP Kevin Millwood (4-1, 5.05).

NOTEBOOK it the notion that Kurt Busch’s tirade in May had an effect. “Sometimes you need a vibration, a little noise in the house,” Penske said before Saturday night’s race at Daytona. “I don’t think there’s one silver bullet that you can point to as the fix, but conversation is always good and Kurt endorsed the plans that came from those conversations.” Busch was terribly unhappy with the performance of the No. 22 team through March and April, and it boiled over at a race in Richmond in an expletive-laden rant on his in-car radio. Behind the scenes changes were made after that race, and both Busch and Brad Keselowski have turned it up since. Busch won three straight poles and last week’s road course race in Sonoma, and he’s fourth in the Sprint Cup standings. Keselowski won the pole at Charlotte, the race at Kansas and was 10th at Sonoma to move up to 22nd in the standings. He has 10 races to move himself into contention for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. STAR POWER: Country music star Martina McBride performed an hourlong concert before the race, singing some of her most popular tunes, including “Broken Wing” and “Independence Day.” In a notso-stunning admission, McBride said widely beloved Dale Earnhardt Jr. is her favorite driver. She joked that her hair had little chance to hold up in Florida’s stifling summer heat and humidity. Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher served as the grand marshal, delivering the command to start engines. He said he grew up a NASCAR fan and had “butterflies, that giddy feeling” in his stomach beforehand. “It’s a great honor for me,” Fisher said. With 18 starters returning this fall, Fisher also acknowledged high expectations for the Seminoles in 2011. They are a popular pick to win the Atlantic Coast Conference and maybe compete for the national title.

Laird. However, all the run support he needed came in the first inning, when Montero’s single off PawSox starter Brandon Duckworth (a former SWB Red Baron) scored Austin Krum from second. Kontos, who had been exclusively a starter earlier in his career, picked up where Mitchell left off. He gave up a scratch single to Thomas to lead off the first, then retired the last 12 Sox he faced.

ALL-STARS Continued from Page 1C

shortstop Derek Jeter, most of the leading vote-getters do indeed deserve those spots. Who else has earned a trip to the July 12 showcase? Tough choices, as usual. Prince Fielder or Joey Votto at first base for the National League? Carlos Quentin or Jacoby Ellsbury in the AL outfield? And how many aces can the Phillies put on the pitching staff? “It can be a little daunting, to be honest,” NL manager Bruce Bochy of the San Francisco Giants said. “Sure, it’s an honor and you’re excited about it, but at the same time you know that somebody’s going to get snubbed, supposedly. There’s nothing you can do about it. It’s not perfect.” One superstar who won’t be playing is St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols, sidelined by a broken wrist. He highlights a striking list of face-of-the-franchise types who figure to miss this All-Star game because of injuries, slumps — or both. Joe Mauer, Hanley Ramirez, David Wright, Evan Longoria, Chase Utley, Ichiro Suzuki, Ryan Zimmerman, Carl Crawford, Buster Posey, Justin Morneau, Josh Johnson, Johan Santana. In their absence, look for talented first-timers such as Asdrubal Cabrera, Rickie Weeks and Matt Kemp. Following last year’s rule changes, this will be the first time the designated hitter is used in an NL park. There are 34 slots on each roster, with 13 going to pitchers. And every team must be represented, which makes for difficult decisions. “I’ll be glad when the process is over,” said Texas’ Ron Washington, who will manage the AL squad. “I did my homework, I’ll consult with my coaching staff and I’ll probably reach out to a few guys, a few managers that’s done this before. But I only get so many to choose, and all I have to do is look at the roster that’s been put out there and we’re going to choose according to our need, to make sure we’re covered.” The league that wins gets home-field advantage in the World Series again, and the NL finally wrested it away last year with its first victory in 13 games since 1996. So without regard to fan or player balloting, here are our picks for the 82nd All-Star game. Rosters will be announced today. Starting with the AL First Base — Gonzalez has been an RBI machine in his first season with Boston. Thanks to a smooth glove, he edges Detroit bopper Miguel Cabrera for the start. Chicago’s Paul Konerko and New York’s Mark Teixeira also make the team. Second Base — Cano is the clear choice even though he

Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp has put up Triple Crown-caliber numbers with 22 home runs, 64 RBI and a .330 batting average.

White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin has 17 home runs and 49 RBI this season.

Brewers first basemen Prince Fielder has hit 21 home runs and leads the NL with 68 RBI.

Tigers catcher Alex Avila is having a breakout season. He ranks second among MLB catchers with 46 RBI.

hasn’t played as well as last year, when he finished third in AL MVP voting for the Yankees. The backup job goes to underrated Ben Zobrist of Tampa Bay. Shortstop — Asdrubal Cabrera has provided power at the plate and spectacular defense in a breakout season for the surprising Indians. That impressive combination earns him the starting nod over Detroit’s Jhonny Peralta, who also warrants his first selection. Left off here is the 37-year-old Jeter, who had a comfortable lead at last count in fan voting and appears headed to his 12th All-Star game despite that strained calf and a seasonlong slump. Six hits shy of 3,000, he was set to come off the disabled list early next week, so perhaps he’ll be healthy enough to play in the Midsummer Classic. Who knows? It could be his last All-Star hurrah. Third Base — Rodriguez also held a sizable lead in fan balloting, but his numbers at the plate put him neck-and-neck with Red Sox rival Kevin Youkilis. Give the nod to A-Rod, with Youkilis securing a reserve role. Catcher — Another young player enjoying a breakthrough season is Tigers catcher Alex Avila. He gets the surprise start and his backup is, well ... his backup. Avila’s emergence has

allowed Detroit to use Victor Martinez mostly as a DH, but he’s still caught more than 20 games and his bat is awfully productive. With apologies to Cleveland’s Carlos Santana, put Martinez on the club as a catcher and there’s no need to pick another backstop who doesn’t quite deserve it. Plus, it would make for a neat anomaly: two All-Star catchers from one big league team. Outfield — Toronto slugger Jose Bautista had received more All-Star votes than anyone else in the majors, a sign that fans are paying attention even when he connects in Canada. He starts in right field, with New York’s Curtis Granderson in center and Quentin from the White Sox in left. On the bench is Ellsbury, another Boston entry, along with Baltimore’s Adam Jones, Minnesota’s Michael Cuddyer and Kansas City’s Alex Gordon, finally fulfilling his promise after switching from third base to left field. Designated Hitter — Ortiz was running away with the fan vote, and deservedly so. Popular as ever in Boston, Big Papi can still swing it. The other choice at DH is Texas stalwart Michael Young, who could also fill in as an infielder if needed. Starting Pitchers — Detroit

Cole Hamels has a 2.41 ERA and has 110 strikeouts.

bench. Second Base — Weeks gives the Brewers a powerful threat at the top of the lineup. His backups are Brandon Phillips, an all-around cornerstone for the Reds, and Washington rookie Danny Espinosa. Shortstop — New York Mets dynamo Jose Reyes has been the game’s most electrifying player this season, dashing around the bases on doubles, triples and steals. His glove is a plus, too, so he looks primed to cash in as a 28-year-old free agent next winter. Behind him is Colorado’s Troy Tulowitzki, another multitalented star. Third Base — A thin crop this year, so Braves switch-hitter Chipper Jones takes a bow. Sure, it’s partly a lifetime achievement award, but who else would you rather see in this game? Aramis Ramirez of the Chicago Cubs is on the bench. Catcher — No doubt about And in the NL this one. Atlanta’s Brian First Base — Fielder is having McCann, the MVP of last year’s All-Star game, is a runaway a huge season for Milwaukee in choice for his sixth selection — the final year of his contract. and first start. Backing him up The best thing to do, however, would be to start him at DH and behind the plate is Miguel Montero from the hometown Diaput Votto at first base because the Cincinnati slugger, last year’s mondbacks. Outfield — The starting spots NL MVP, is more adept on deare easy: In center field is Kemp, fense. Philadelphia’s Ryan Hothe first-half MVP from the Los ward brings his big bat off the flamethrower Justin Verlander is blossoming into the consistent and dominant ace that was always expected. He seems to flirt with a no-hitter every time he takes the mound — and he finished one off this year in Toronto. Verlander earns the start on a staff that includes fellow right-handers Josh Beckett (Boston), James Shields (Tampa Bay) and Felix Hernandez (Seattle), along with Angels teammates Jered Weaver and Dan Haren. The lefties are CC Sabathia (New York), C.J. Wilson (Texas) and Gio Gonzalez (Oakland). Relievers — Mariano Rivera is closing in on the career saves record and shows no signs of slowing down at age 41. New York’s longtime relief ace is joined in the bullpen by Detroit’s Jose Valverde, Cleveland’s Chris Perez and Tampa Bay first-timer Kyle Farnsworth.

Angeles Dodgers. He’s flanked by Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun in left and a revitalized Lance Berkman of St. Louis in right. After that it gets tricky, because there are about a dozen worthy candidates. Here’s who makes the cut: Arizona’s Justin Upton, New York’s Carlos Beltran, Cincinnati’s Jay Bruce, Pittsburgh’s Andrew McCutchen, Houston’s Hunter Pence and Colorado’s Carlos Gonzalez. Left off is Andre Ethier, despite his 30game hitting streak, and Matt Holliday, who missed 20 games because of a leg injury and an appendectomy. Starting Pitchers — Roy Halladay won the NL Cy Young Award in his first season with Philadelphia and follows it up this year with an All-Star game start. Phillies left-handers Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels are also on the staff, along with Atlanta’s Jair Jurrjens, Los Angeles lefty Clayton Kershaw, San Francisco’s Tim Lincecum, Arizona’s Ian Kennedy, Florida’s Anibal Sanchez and St. Louis’ Kyle Lohse. Relievers — Pittsburgh closer Joel Hanrahan went into the weekend perfect in 23 save chances. Joining him in the bullpen are San Francisco’s Brian Wilson, San Diego’s Heath Bell and Cincinnati’s Francisco Cordero.

for the sun-baked 119-mile ride from La Barre-de-Monts to Mont des Alouettes in the western Vendee region. Two-time Tour runner-up Cadel Evans of Australia was second, three seconds back — making him the best performer among the expected title contenders. Thor Hushovd of Norway was third, six seconds off the pace. The 2,131-mile race ends July 24 on Paris’ Champs-Elysees. It’s shaping up as a battle among riders like Contador and last year’s runner-up Andy Schleck of Luxembourg. Three-time champion Contador, a Spaniard, beat Schleck by just 39 seconds last year. However, they both ran into trouble toward the end of the stage on Saturday. With about 5.5 miles left, Astana rider Maxim Iglinskiy knocked shoulders with a fan on the roadside, causing a mass crash that delayed Contador and split the pack. About 40 riders stayed in front. The Spaniard finished 1:20 after Gilbert and is 82nd overall. Schleck too got slowed down by yet another crash near the end,

those behind him of a roadway median — a gesture that caused him to lose control of his bike. He tumbled to the ground with his helmet bouncing and his sunglasses skidding away, while several others fell in his wake. All of those involved returned to the race. While the stage was mostly flat,

the end was tricky. Riders had to scale the bumpy Mont des Alouettes — a 1.8-mile hill — up to the finish, so it was not tailormade for traditional sprinters. In a break with recent tradition, the Tour opener this year was not an individual time-trial prologue, with riders instead embarking right away on a full stage.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

U.S. dominates, in quarters Team looks sharp in beating Colombia. Up next: Sweden in Group C championship match.

SINSHEIM, Germany — Anyone can sign autographs or pose for photos. The U.S. women found a better way to say “thank you” to the American military members who turned their World Cup match into a home game. The U.S. advanced to the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup with a 3-0 rout of Colombia on Saturday, delighting a sellout crowd made up almost entirely of American fans. The team lined up for a military salute after Heather O’Reilly’s opening goal, and Megan Rapinoe grabbed a TV mic and sang “Born in the USA” after she scored. “The troops came out to practice the other day, which was a fantastic environment,” said Carli Lloyd, who scored the third goal. “We thought it would be good to salute them. It was fun, something different.” The two-time World Cup champions now play Sweden, one of two teams to beat them this year, on Wednesday in Wolfsburg to determine the Group C winner. The Americans and Sweden both have six points, but the U.S. leads the group on goal differential and can claim the top spot with a victory or a tie. Colombia is a team on the rise, finishing fourth at the Under-20 World Cup last year. But this is its first World Cup appearance, and the youngsters were no match for the deeper, more experienced Americans. The U.S. harassed goalkeeper Sandra Sepulveda relentlessly, forcing her to work more in this game than some goalkeepers will work all tournament. She didn’t get much help from her backline, which was shredded by the speedy O’Reilly time and again. “It’s a growing experience,” said defender Nataly Arias, who was born and raised in the Washington, D.C., area. “It was their size, their speed. They’re all big, they’re all fast, they’re all agile.” And it could have been even worse for the Colombians. The Americans missed at least a halfdozen other chances, and had a whopping 27-12 advantage in shots. Abby Wambach missed so many chances she had little choice but to laugh at her misfortunes by the end of the game, and Rapinoe banged a shot off the

crossbar. Colombia did get four shots on goal, with their best chance coming in the 54th minute. Orianica Velasquez came in as a substitute, immediately got possession and took a shot, but Hope Solo punched it away. “It’s a tough loss for us, obviously,” Arias said. “At the same time, I feel proud of what we did in this game.” The Americans are feeling pretty good about themselves, too. Though the U.S. is the topranked team in the world and the defending Olympic champion, it was Germany, not the Americans considered the favorite when the tournament began. They had dropped three games in a fivemonth span after going more than two years without a loss, and needed to win a two-game playoff with Italy just to get to Germany. But the U.S. rolled through its first two games, and its confidence is growing with every win. Though Wambach has yet to score and the Americans are struggling to finish shots, their

five goals have come from five different players. “That’s a huge positive,” O’Reilly said. O’Reilly made Colombia pay for its botched clearance of a goal kick in the 12th minute, jumping on the ball after it bounced off Liana Salazar. O’Reilly took a few steps and then blasted a rightfooted shot from 25 yards that Sepulveda had no chance to stop. It was O’Reilly’s third World Cup goal, and 30th overall. “Pia’s always saying, ’If you have space in front of you, just take it,”’ O’Reilly said. “I took a couple of touches and just let it fly.” The crowd of 25,475 burst into cheers as the ball rolled around the upper corner of the net, and the players lined up for their salute. There is a U.S. Army base in nearby Mannheim, and about

350 service members and their families watched the team practice Thursday. “We were really moved and inspired by the support they gave us,” O’Reilly said. The Americans could have had another four or five goals just in the first half alone. But, just as they have much of the year, they struggled to finish. Wambach, one of the world’s best players in the air, misdirected one header wide and sent another soaring over the goal. Amy Rodriguez had a short chip shot blocked and skied a rebound of a Wambach miss, and Sepulveda punched away a shot by Lauren Cheney.

The tournament, however, remains wide open going into the final round today. Fowler and Watney were at 9under 201, one shot ahead of 36hole leader K.J. Choi, who started and finished well to compensate for some poor shots in the middle. Choi birdied two of his last three holes, including a 30foot birdie putt on the 18th, to salvage a 69. Scott, Marino and Webb Simpson — he had a 64 that was easy to overlook — were two shots behind at 7-under 203, while the group at 204 included Kirk and Charlie Wi, who was going along nicely until he played it safe off the 316-yard 13th tee and wound up four-putting for a double bogey. Fowler isn’t the only player going for his first win. Marino is regarded as among the best to have never collected a PGA Tour trophy, and he and Simpson — also winless on tour — could have even more at stake today.

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Rickie Fowler’s ordinary season came to life Saturday in the AT&T National. On a day in which the course record lasted only 20 minutes because of such low scoring, Fowler did his part by making six birdies in his opening 10 holes and wound up with a 6-under 64 to share the lead with World Golf Championship winner Nick Watney. For all the hype over the fashionable Fowler, the 22-year-old hasn’t won on the PGA Tour in 46 starts as a pro. He gave himself a chance at Aronimink with a game so dynamic that he missed two putts inside 10 feet and still shot 30 on the front nine. Watney did his damage on the back nine and became the third player to break the course record on greens that were surprisingly soft. With a 30-foot eagle putt on the 16th, and a daring wedge to 5 feet on the 17th, he shot 27 on the back nine and finished with a 62. That broke the record of 63 that Steve Marino had about 20 minutes earlier. Marino had matched the record that Chris Kirk posted about an hour before that. Adam Scott had a 66 and didn’t feel as though he had made up much ground. “I’m quite happy with a 66, to be honest,” Scott said. “But yeah, it doesn’t really stack up against a 62, does it?” Of the 76 players who teed off Saturday — Vijay Singh withdrew because of a back injury — 40 of them had rounds in the 60s.

Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay looks at Toronto’s Jose Bautista after getting Bautista to ground into an inning-ending fielder’s choice in the fifth inning of Saturday’s game in Toronto.

Halladay celebrates return to Toronto TORONTO — Roy Halladay pitched an eight-hitter against his former team to win his sixth-straight decision, Chase Utley hit a go-ahead home run and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 on Saturday. Toronto’s Jose Bautista hit his major league-leading 26th home run, but the Blue Jays still lost for the 10th time in 13 home games. Halladay (11-3), who took the mound in the bottom of the first to a standing ovation from the crowd of 44,078, spent the first 12 years of his career with the Blue Jays before being traded to Philadelphia in December 2009. Philadelphia trailed 3-2 when Utley greeted reliever Luis Perez with a two-run homer to right in the seventh, his fourth.

CHICAGO — Phil Humber, backed by strong defense, pitched shutout ball for seven innings and Juan Pierre singled in the only run Saturday, lifting the Chicago White Sox past the Cubs 1-0. Humber (8-4), who made the team in spring training and has become the White Sox’s most consistent starter, allowed five singles and is now 5-1 in his last six starts. He won a duel with Matt Garza, who held the White Sox hitless for 5 1-3 innings before Pierre singled. Garza (4-7) yielded only four singles in his first complete game with the Cubs and seventh of his career. Indians 3, Reds 1

WASHINGTON — Ivan Rodriguez drove in the goahead run as a pinch-hitter in the eighth, and the Washington Nationals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 Saturday night to earn a doubleheader split. Rodriguez’s single to right scored Rick Ankiel to cap a two-run rally. Pinch-runner Brian Bixler had tied the game on a double steal, taking third and then coming home when catcher Eric Fryer’s throw went into left field for an error. In the first game, Garrett Jones and Andrew McCutchen hit back-to-back homers in the eighth inning, and James McDonald had a strong outing in the Pirates’ 5-3 victory. That win put Pittsburgh two games over .500 for the eighth time this season, but they are now 0-8 trying to get to three above the break-even mark. Red Sox 10, Astros 4

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L July 3 1912 — Rube Marquard of the New York Giants raised his season record to 19-0 with a 2-1 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers. His winning streak ended five days later against the Chicago Cubs. 1939 — Johnny Mize of St. Louis hit two home runs, a triple and a double, leading the Cardinals to a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. 1947 — The Cleveland Indians purchased Larry Doby from the Newark Eagles of the Negro National League, making him the first black player in the American League. 1966 — Atlanta pitcher Tony Cloninger became the first National League player to hit two grand slams in one game. He added a single for nine RBIs in a 17-3 triumph over San Francisco. 1968 — Cleveland’s Luis Tiant struck out 19, walked none in a six-hit 1-0, 10-inning triumph over Minnesota. 1970 — California’s Clyde Wright used only 98 pitches to no-hit the Oakland A’s 4-0 at Anaheim Stadium. 1973 — Jim Perry of the Detroit Tigers and brother Gaylord of the Cleveland Indians faced each other for the only time as opposing pitchers. Neither finished the game. Gaylord took the loss, 5-4. 2001 — D’Angelo Jimenez hit San Diego’s fourth sacrifice fly of the game — tying the NL record — to lift the Padres over Colorado 6-5. Ryan Klesko, Wiki Gonzalez and Woody Williams also had sacrifice flies. 2002 — Cleveland Indians slugger Jim Thome homered in his seventh straight game, leaving him one shy of the major league record. Thome hit a solo shot off David Wells of the New York Yankees. 2006 — Manager Felipe Alou picked up his 1,000th career victory in San Francisco’s 9-6 win over Colorado. 2007 — Brad Wilkerson hit three homers and had six RBIs to help Texas beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-3.

WIMBLEDON

Grand finale pits No. 1 and 2

Continued from Page 1C

Nadal seeks 11th major crown, while Djokovic goes for his third and hopes to top rival from Spain for fifth time in 2011. By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — From 1983 to 2003, the world’s top two players never met each other in the Wimbledon men’s final. It’s about to happen for the seventh time in eight years — with a couple of twists. Thanks mainly to a couple of guys named Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, No. 1 vs. No. 2 Grand UP NEXT Slam finals became someNovak thing of a regular occurrence Djokovic vs. in recent years, at the All EnRafael Nadal gland Club and elsewhere. Men’s championship match Today, No. 1 Nadal will be involved in yet another 1-2 TV: 9 a.m., NBC, WBRE-28 Wimbledon championship matchup, only it’ll be against No. 2 Novak Djokovic — and they’ll switch spots in the ATP rankings a day later. As of Monday, Djokovic will move up to No.1, and Nadal will slide down to No. 2, regardless of today’s outcome. Whichever man wins, it will be the sixth major title in a row that’s gone to Nadal (French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open in 2010, French Open in 2011) or Djokovic (2010 Australian Open). “One guy played unbelievable the first half of the year, so he’s the new No.1,” Nadal said. “We just can congratulate him, because what he did this first part of the season is something really impressive, really fantastic.” That’s definitely the case. Djokovic is 47-1in 2011, including a 4-0 record against Nadal, beating him in two hard-court finals and two clay-court finals. “The four times I won against him this year can probably help me in some ways mentally prior to this match,” said Djokovic, who is 11-16 against Nadal overall, including 0-5 in Grand Slam tournaments. The 24-year-old Serb won the first seven tournaments he entered this season, before his 43match winning streak, dating to the Davis Cup final in December, ended with a loss to Federer in the French Open semifinals. “He’s the best player in the world (at) the moment,” Jo-Wilfried Tsonga said after losing to Djokovic in Friday’s semifinals. That victory moved Djokovic into his first final at Wimbledon, and fifth at a Grand Slam

tournament. He’s 2-2 so far, winning the Australian Open twice, and losing in two U.S. Open finals — to Federer in 2007 and to Nadal last year. This one carries the most significance to Djokovic, though. “First time I watched tennis or anything related to tennis was Wimbledon ... when I was 4, 5. I remember those days,” he said. “I remember always Wimbledon being ’the one.”’ Nadal, meanwhile, is seeking his third Wimbledon title and11th Grand Slam trophy overall. A month past his 25th birthday, Nadal would be the second-youngest man to get to11, barely behind Bjorn Borg. And Nadal already would be tied for fourthmost Grand Slam titles in history, trailing only Federer (16), Pete Sampras (14) and Roy Emerson (12). Nadal refuses to talk about pursuing Federer’s record. “I think about the number ‘10.’ That’s what I have at home. That’s what I’m able to see when I go back home, in my bedroom,” Nadal said. “I don’t have 11, I don’t have 12, I don’t have 15, or

16; 16 is very far. I believe the number is not going stop there. Roger will have more chances to win more.” Others are more willing to assess Nadal’s chances of surpassing Federer. Sampras, for one, said this week he wouldn’t be surprised to see Nadal do it. Nadal has won 20 consecutive matches at Wimbledon and is 32-2 at the grass-court Grand Slam since the start of the 2006 tournament, reaching five finals in a row. He lost to Federer in the 2006 and 2007 finals, and beat him for the 2008 title — those were three of their seven 1-vs.-2 major championship matches — then missed Wimbledon in 2009 because of tendinitis in his knees, before beating Tomas Berdych in last year’s final. John McEnroe was ranked No.1when he lost toNo.2JimmyConnorsinthe1982Wimbledon final. But there wasn’t another1-2 title match at the All England Club until 2004, when No.1Federer beat No. 2 Andy Roddick. They repeated that matchup a year later, and then Federer and Nadal began their string of finals.

ward: “One played well. The other didn’t play well. Maria didn’t play as good as she can.” That was, at least in part, Kvitova’s doing. She compiled 19 winners, most by zipping her heavy forehands and backhands from the baseline, where her 6-foot frame and long arms helped her get to seemingly out-of-reach balls. “She created offensive opportunities from tough positions on the court,” Sharapova said. “Sometimes it’s just too good.” Kvitova also broke Sharapova five times, anticipating where serves were headed. It helped that Sharapova double-faulted six times, although at least those were fewer than the 13 the Russian hit in the semifinals. “She performed incredible. Sometimes, when you don’t know what to expect and you don’t know how you’re going to feel, sometimes you play your best, because you have that feeling of nothing to lose,” said the fifth-seeded Sharapova, who was playing in a major final for the first time since right shoulder surgery in October 2008. “She went for it, absolutely.” What really was odd was seeing the experienced and normally gritty Sharapova bothered by distractions such as the swarms of tiny greenflies that showed up Saturday or the occasional clap or yell that came from the stands during points. Even more stunning was the way Sharapova crumpled at key moments. One example: She double-faulted twice in a row to lose serve and fall behind 4-2 in the first set. Sharapova turned her back to the court and gave herself a little lecture, then smacked herself on her left palm with her racket. Kvitova — now 4-1 in tournament finals this year — broke again to begin the second set, capping that game with a running forehand that caught the back edge of the baseline. The women exchanged four consecutive breaks in the middle of that set, before Kvitova — not Sharapova — gathered herself. Ahead 4-3, but trailing 15-30 while serving, Kvitova hit three straight service winners to get to 5-3.

wowed by the several pages of handwritten answers Kvitova supplied for a questionnaire he gave her back then — and has kept to this day. “I was really surprised about how she thinks about tennis, how clever she is. She told me her advantages, disadvantages, what she has to improve,” Kotyza said, then pointed a finger to his temple and added: “Her brain is a big advantage for this game.” When she was a kid growing up in Fulnek, Czech Republic — population: 6,000 — and practicing an hour or so after school each day, Kvitova didn’t count on becoming a professional tennis player. She simply wasn’t that good, yet. Clearly, she’s a quick study. Before Wimbledon in 2010, Kvitova’s career record on grass was 0-4. She is 16-2 on the slick surface since, including a run to the semifinals here last year before losing to Serena Williams. At 21, Kvitova is the youngest Wimbledon champion since — you guessed it — Sharapova was 17 in 2004. Kvitova is also the first Czech to win the tournament since Jana Novotna in 1998. Plus, Kvitova is only the third left-handed woman to win the grass-court Grand Slam tournament. The last was Martina Navratilova, who won her ninth Wimbledon title in 1990, a few months after Kvitova was born. “I’m thrilled for her. She played brave tennis, and she deserved to win. She was by far the better player,” said Navratilova, who was born in Czechoslovakia and sat near Novotna in the Royal Box on Saturday. “I don’t think this is the only time she’ll win here. It’s very exciting. A new star.” That last phrase was being uttered by many people around the grounds after Kvitova managed to make Sharapova look rather ordinary. Consider: Until Saturday, Sharapova had won all 12 sets she played over the last two weeks. But, as Sharapova’s coach Thomas Hogstedt summed up after-

NHL

Free-agent Richards hits $60M jackpot What’s at Tampa Bay Lightning. He’ll be The center, who played for alongside Marian Gaborik on Dallas last season, signs a New York’s revamped top line. 9-year deal with the Rangers. After posting a career-high 28 By IRA PODELL AP Hockey Writer

NEW YORK — After a day of being wooed by teams around the NHL, Brad Richards picked the one that was the front-runner all along — the New York Rangers. Richards, considered the biggest prize in this year’s underwhelming free-agent market, struck it rich Saturday when he agreed to a nine-year, $60 million deal. The 31-year-old center will be reunited with coach John Tortorella, with whom he won the Stanley Cup in 2004 with the

goals and 49 assists last season with the Dallas Stars, Richards jumped to the head of the freeagent class and was highly coveted by the Rangers. The Los Angeles Kings and Toronto Maple Leafs also made in-person pitches at the office of his agent, Pat Morris, in Ontario. The Calgary Flames also made a late push Friday, the first day of the free-agent shopping season, to try to land the Prince Edward Island native. Tim Leiweke, the chief executive of Anschutz Entertainment Group, which owns the Kings, was part of a group that included general manager Dean Lombardi

and several others who went to Canada to meet with Richards face to face. Not even video messages from Wayne Gretzky and Kobe Bryant, and a contract thought to be similar to the Rangers’ offer, won over Richards. New York stated its case remotely and did enough to lure Richards, despite reportedly not offering the most lucrative deal. The Rangers hope Richards will end their search for a center to power their top line and run their often struggling power play. New York thought it filled its hole in the middle four years ago when it signed Chris Drury and Scott Gomez on the first day AP PHOTO of free agency, hoping for a good mix with Jaromir Jagr. Considered the biggest prize in an underwhelming free-agent market, Brad Richards (91) has signed with the N.Y. Rangers.

By STEPHEN WILSON AP Sports Writer

LONDON — Send the Winter Olympics to a new frontier in Asia, or go back to the roots of winter sports in the heart of Europe? That sums up the choice facing the International Olympic Committee when it selects the host city for the 2018 Games. By all accounts, the South Korean bid from Pyeongchang remains the one to beat in the three-city race that also includes Munich and Annecy, France, when nearly 100 IOC members cast their secret ballots on Wednesday in Durban, South Africa. Pyeongchang, bidding for a third consecutive time after narrow defeats for the 2010 and 2014 Olympics, would become the first Asian city outside Japan to host the Winter Games. Munich, bidding to become the first city to stage both the Summer and Winter

Olympics, is pushing Pyeongchang to the wire in what is shaping up as a two-horse race. The French bid from Annecy is the clear outsider. “The two front-runners are still front-runners and Annecy is a little behind,” Norwegian IOC executive board member Gerhard Heiberg told The Associated Press. “Everybody is waiting for the presentations and most people have not made up their minds.” In May, the three contenders made presentations to the IOC in Lausanne, Switzerland, but frantic campaigning will remain until the last minute, capping a two-year race that took bid leaders around the world to push their case. IOC votes can be unpredictable — particularly for the Winter Games, with many members coming from countries with no winter sports tradition or interest. Intangible factors such as politics, geography, sentiment, future bids and personal relationships come into play as much as the quality of the bobsled or curling venues. The final presentations on Wednesday could also swing some votes. “I think it’s still close,” Swiss IOC exec-

“The two front-runners are still frontrunners and Annecy is a little behind.”

utive board member Denis Oswald said. “Munich is certainly a very strong challenger. We would be sure they would have an excellent organization. The Annecy bid is not bad at all, but they had a bad start and it was difficult to catch up.” South Korea President Gerhard Lee Myung-bak and GerHeiberg man President Christian Norwegian IOC Wulff will be in Durban executive board to promote their counmember tries’ bids. However, in a sign of Annecy’s faint hopes, French President Nicolas Sarkozy is not traveling to South Africa and is sending Prime Minister Francois Fillon instead. Tony Blair was instrumental in securing the 2012 Olympics for London, and Vladimir Putin helped Sochi land the 2014 Winter Games. But President Barack Obama didn’t help Chicago’s cause when he traveled to Copenhagen for the IOC vote in 2009, and the U.S. city was eliminated in

the first round. Better recognized than the heads of state this time will be two figure skating stars: Former two-time Olympic gold medalist Katarina Witt chairs the Munich bid, while 20-year-old reigning champion Kim Yu-na is a key face in the Pyeongchang delegation. On paper, Pyeongchang would seem to have everything going for it: The persistence of bidding several times over10 years, geography, the promise to develop winter sports in a new market of Asia, strong national priority given to the bid, compact layout of the venues. The recent trend of sports bodies in taking their major events to new territories also plays in Pyeongchang’s favor. Russia will host its first Winter Olympics in 2014 in Sochi; Rio de Janeiro will be the first South American city to stage the Olympics in 2016; the 2018 World Cup will take place in Russia and the 2022 tournament in Qatar. It’s no coincidence that Pyeongchang’s bid slogan is “New Horizons.” The Winter Games have been held twice in Asia, both times in Japan — Sapporo (1972) and Nagano (1998).

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Charles remembered for more than title-winning dunk Ex-N.C. State player, whose basket beat Houston in 1983 NCAA title game, laid to rest. By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer

RALEIGH, N.C. — Lorenzo Charles was remembered Saturday for more than a last-second dunk that remains one of the NCAA tournament’s signature moments. Charles’ funeral was held five days after the hero of North Carolina State’s title-winning upset of Houston in1983 was killed in a single-vehicle bus wreck. “It’s a tough time for family, teammates, fans and friends, but it’s also a time to celebrate and reflect on a wonderful man’s life,” teammate Dereck Whittenburg said. Charles caught Whittenburg’s 30-foot heave and dunked it at

the buzzer to give underdog N.C. State its second national championship. Late coach Jim Valvano scurried onto the court during the wild celebration in Albuquerque, N.M., searching for anyone to hug and creating an unforgettable highlight that is replayed every March. “For the past 28 years, Lorenzo and I have been linked together in one championship moment,” Whittenburg said, “and we’ll be linked forever.” Charles was also remembered for his imposing presence on the court and a different sort of demeanor off it. “Lorenzo was always a strong guy, a big, powerful guy,” teammate and best friend Cozell McQueen said. “But at the same time, he was a gentle guy.” Whittenburg recalled making fast-food runs with Charles when they were still in school. His niece Ericka Charles said she

once asked her uncle, who embraced his second career as a charter bus and limousine driver, who his most famous passenger was. “He said, ’I drove Lorenzo

Charles,”’ she said, drawing laughs from the crowd. Charles scored 1,535 total points — 15th on the N.C. State scoring list — and his .575 shooting percentage in 1985 remains a

school record for seniors. He played one season in the NBA, averaging 3.4 points in 36 games with the Atlanta Hawks in 198586, then played internationally and in the Continental Basketball Association until 1999, before he started his second career as a driver. “More than anything else, I know that Lorenzo meant much more to his family, his teammates and to us at the university than being a basketball player,” N.C. State athletic director Debbie Yow said during the ceremony. “Those of you who today knew him best knew firsthand of his kindness, his affection and ... his smile.” Charles was killed Monday when the Elite Coach charter bus he was driving crashed along Interstate 40 in Raleigh. No passengers were aboard, and police don’t know what caused the wreck.

stake in the NFL and NBA By RACHEL COHEN AP Sports Writer

In March, NFL owners locked out their players. On Friday, NBA owners followed suit. It’s believed that only once before two of the United States’ major sports leagues have been shuttered at the same time. A look at what’s at stake in the labor disputes, and how they are similar and different: Q: What’s with the NFL and the NBA being stuck in labor lockout at the same time? Are the two situations connected? A: It’s partly a coincidence that the two leagues’ collective bargaining agreements expired within months of each other. But it’s probably not a fluke that owners in both sports are saying at the same time that the old deals didn’t provide them with sufficient revenue. The U.S. economy is emerging from a recession. And NFL and NBA leaders contend there aren’t enough new revenue streams to cover costs for building and improving stadiums and arenas. Q: But haven’t both sports being doing very well recently? A: The NFL and NBA have enjoyed a surge in interest the last couple of seasons, with appealing story lines and big-name stars driving robust television ratings. In fact, the two most watched U.S. television programs of all time were the past two Super Bowls. And the NBA, while not the same draw as pro football, last month had the highest rating for a Game 6 of its final series in11years. Both players’ associations argue that’s proof the leagues are better off than they purport to be. The owners counter that ratings and other indicators of popularity are irrelevant when their economic models are broken. NBA owners say they lost hundreds of millions of dollars in every season of the last collective bargaining agreement, which was ratified in 2005. According to league officials, 22 of the 30 teams were losing money this past season. One of the points of contention between the NFL and its players is that the union wants access to more financial data from teams to see the exact economic situation of the clubs. Q: OK. But what, exactly, is a lockout? And how’s it different from a strike? A: Management has the right under federal labor law to shut down a business once a CBA expires. That means, for instance, that the leagues aren’t paying for players’ health insurance, and free agents can’t sign with teams. Employees have the same right to strike. In this case, for both basketball and football, the owners’ side is the one that wants to significantly alter the structure of the old deal, leading to a lockout, not a strike. Q: How similar are the issues in the two sports’ negotiations? A: The tone of the two labor disputes has differed because of the league’s disparate financial situations. For the NFL, the debate is how to divvy up $9 billion in revenues, with players and owners wrangling over what is the fairest split. The NBA is in a more dire economic plight, and the question is how much of a hit players’ salaries will take as a result. Q: Is the NBA lockout going to look like the NFL’s? A: The NFL union decertified and turned to the courts in an attempt to lift the lockout. The NBA players’ association doesn’t plan to go that route, at least for now. Q: Should fans be worried about losing games in either situation? A: There was optimism earlier this week that an NFL deal was near, but the sides went into the weekend without a deal. The NBA’s regular season isn’t scheduled to start until late October, but at the moment both sides say they’re far apart.

OUTDOORS Game Commission’s support of House measure boosts chances of Pennsylvania finally joining 43 other states in permitting Sunday hunting

A shot at a new day By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

For several years state Rep. Ed Staback has tried to make Sunday hunting a reality. Today, he feels that is closer to happening than ever, thanks to the support from the Pennsylvania Game Commission. “The PGC coming out is a big plus,” said Staback, DArchbald. “In the past all we could get them to do was take a neutral stand. This is a step in the right direction.” Last Wednesday a bill designed to remove the prohibition on Sunday hunting was handed over to the House Game and Fisheries Committee. Other attempts to legalize Sunday hunting never came to fruition. But what makes this instance different is a day before HB 1760 made its appearance, the PGC board voiced its support. During its June meeting last Tuesday, the PGC board voted 4-3 to approve a resolution supporting the repeal of the prohibition on Sunday hunting. It’s the first time that the PGC formally issued its support for the move, and it provides more ammunition to those legislators who want to see Sunday hunting be implemented in the state. Pennsylvania is one of seven states in the country that doesn’t allow Sunday hunting. In early June, the Virginia Board of Game and Inland Fisheries also passed a resolution supporting Sunday hunting in that state. “By taking this bold action the Pennsylvania Game Commission not only recognizes that Sunday hunting, when introduced properly, would be a boost to the sport of hunting and to the state’s economy, but also that decisions on

many are actually experiencing declining sales. If HB 1760 does pass, it remains to be seen for what species the PGC will allow to be hunted on Sunday. Delaney said recommendations from PGC staff and input from stakeholders will play a role in that determination. “We will consider those things before anything happens,” he said. “This is about choice and giving the agency the regulatory authority. The opportunities can be debated at a future time.” Weaner said there are indications that Sunday hunting will be utilized for small game, but he doesn’t believe it.

OUTDOORS NOTEBOOK Pheasants Afield PA will hold a tricounty trap shoot on July 16 beginning at 10 a.m. The shoot will be held at the Tri-County Sportsman Club in Silvara (331 Board Road, Laceyville, Pa. 18623). Cost is $25 for 50 rounds and lunch. Trophies will be awarded for best score in youth, female and male divisions. All shooters will also be entered for a chance to win a pheasant hunt at Ringneck Ridge. Take Route 6W to 367N and follow signs to the shoot. The Nanticoke Conservation Club held its third annual Susquehanna River Bass Fishing Tournament on June 25 at the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission boat launch in Union Township. Sixteen boats were entered and nine recorded a five-bass limit. All participants caught and entered bass for the weigh-in. Winners were: First place – Jim Shultz Sr. and Brad Kowalski, 22 lbs., 2.2 ounces Second place – Frank Slymock and Duke Dalley, 11 lbs., 5 ounces Third place – Dan Smith and Ted Smith Jr., 10 lbs., 14.1 ounces Lunker – Jim Shultz Sr. and Dan Kowalski, 3 lbs., 3.3 ounces The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners on Tuesday took the final regulatory step toward allowing an adult

mentor to transfer an antlerless deer license to a Mentored Youth Hunting Program participant, and the new opportunity will 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 adult mentors to transfer one antlerless deer license or permit to a youth younger than 12 participating in the MYHP. While mentored youth still may not apply for an antlerless deer license, the new regulation authorizes adult mentors to transfer one antlerless deer license to an eligible mentored youth. The antlerless license must be valid and in the possession of the adult mentor at all times while hunting. The transfer of the antlerless license may not occur until after the mentored youth has harvested the antlerless deer. At that time, the license is to be transferred to the mentored youth to complete the harvest information and attach the carcass tag. A mentored youth may receive no more than one antlerless deer license in a license year. Following the hunt, the adult mentor

must report the harvest through the Game Commission’s online harvest reporting system, the toll-free telephone harvest reporting number or mail in the report card. The report does not need to indicate that a mentored youth used the antlerless deer license. Under the MYHP, a mentor is defined as a properly licensed individual at least 21 years of age who will serve as a guide to a youth while engaged in hunting or related activities, such as scouting, learning firearms or hunter safety and wildlife identification. A mentored youth is identified as an unlicensed individual younger than 12 who is accompanied by a mentor while engaged in hunting or related activities. Legal species presently approved for the MYHP are squirrels, groundhogs, coyotes, antlered and antlerless deer and spring gobbler. The bald eagle has surpassed a milestone of 200 active nests this year in the commonwealth, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. So far this year, 203 bald eagle nests – in 50 counties – have been recorded in the state. As recently as 1983, only three Crawford County nests remained in the state. For 2011, counties supporting the large-

st numbers of known nesting pairs are: Crawford, 19; Pike, 19; Lancaster, 18; York 10; and Northumberland, 8. Game Commission biologists noted that reporting on eagle nests is anything but an exact science. In 2010, the lateJune nest count was 192; but that number increased to 199 by the end of the year. In 2009, the June nest count was at least 170; it increased by four by the end of the year. More dramatically, in 2008, the June estimate was 140 known nests; the final nest count was 156. This year’s complete list of counties and number of known, active bald eagle nests are: Allegheny, 1; Armstrong, 4; Berks, 5; Bradford, 2; Bucks, 4; Butler, 5; Cameron, 1; Carbon, 3; Centre, 1; Chester, 5; Clarion, 1; Clearfield, 1; Clinton, 1; Columbia, 1; Crawford, 19; Cumberland, 2; Dauphin, 3; Delaware, 1; Elk, 3; Erie, 8; Forest, 1; Franklin, 1; Huntington, 4; Jefferson, 2; Juniata, 4; Lancaster, 18; Lawrence, 2; Luzerne, 4; Lycoming, 6; McKean, 1; Mercer, 7; Mifflin, 3; Monroe, 3; Montgomery, 2; Montour, 1; Northampton, 3; Northumberland, 8; Perry, 2; Philadelphia, 2; Pike, 19; Snyder, 1; Sullivan, 1; Susquehanna, 1; Tioga, 6; Venango, 2; Warren, 5; Wayne, 7; Westmoreland, 2; Wyoming, 4; and York, 10.

These deadly entanglements must be stopped

n Wednesday I had the opportunity to help the Pennsylvania Game Commission trap and band Canada geese at several locations in Luzerne and Wyoming counties. Anytime I get to accompany PGC biologists in the field, it’s always an interesting experience. The goose banding was no different. At the first three locations approximately 70 geese were trapped and banded, and they all seemed strong and healthy. Except one. As I held a male gosling while PGC biologist Ian Gregg prepared to apply a band, we noticed a deformation around the young goose’s leg. It was a ring-like depression that cut deep into the gosling’s leg, a few inches above its foot. The gosling’s leg looked like a sapling that was girdled by a wire. Except in this case, the culprit was a long strand of discarded fishing line. The monofilament had wrapped tightly around the gosling’s leg. As the young goose grew, the line got tighter and began to cut deep into its leg. Eventually, the line could’ve amputated the leg and the gosling probably wouldn’t have survived for much longer. With surgical precision, Gregg carefully removed the wrapped line with the tip of a pocket knife before banding and releasing the goose. It was a close call that had a happy ending, but in most cases involving wildlife and fishing line, the endings are deadly. A few weeks ago I wrote about the glut of tangled fishing line strewn along the shore at Frances Slocum lake. An aquatic ecologist in Florida emailed me after the column appeared and said the monofilament problem is just as bad in his state. But he did offer a solution. In Florida, receptacles to collect and recycle monofilament are set out at sporting goods stores, state parks and other popular fishing areas. They have proven effective in the amount of monofilament that is discarded along waterways, and oftentimes a Scout group constructs and maintains the receptacles as a project. The receptacles are easy to make using a two-foot length of six-inch PVC pipe and a few tools (for complete instructions, visit www.timesleader.com and click on “Sports” and “Outdoors”). There’s not much to it, but the benefits from each receptacle can be enormous. The receptacles alone, however, aren’t enough. Along with a place for anglers to deposit their used fishing line, they also need to know why it’s important not to leave it laying along the shore. Monofilament is a single strand of strong, flexible plastic. It is non-biodegradable and can last for hundreds of years. To make matters worse, it’s difficult for wildlife to see and easy for them to become entangled in it or even ingest fishing line. The Monofilament Recovery Program website (www.fishinglinerecycling.org) has all the horror stories about wildlife perishing from fishing line entanglement or ingestion. And they also have plenty of good ideas on how to collect and recycle monofilament. It’s something that the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission should work to implement in our state. Discarded fishing line is a serious problem in Pennsylvania. Take a walk along any popular fishing spot and it’s almost guaranteed that you will find fishing line strewn along the shore or wrapped in a branch. It doesn’t belong there. And it certainly didn’t belong wrapped tightly around the leg of a gosling. Tom Venesky covers the outdoors for The Times Leader. Reach him at tvenesky@timesleader.com

Heavyweight world boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko of the Ukraine celebrates with his belts after winning his heavyweight unification title bout against David Haye of Britain in Hamburg, Germany, Saturday.

Klitschko claims another title Lopsided decision of Haye gives Wladimir and brother, Vitali, every heavyweight belt By KARL RITTER Associated Press

HAMBURG, Germany — Wladimir Klitschko wanted to punish David Haye for all the trash talking he did leading up to their title fight. He settled for merely making Haye another statistic in his dominating heavyweight run. Matched up against an opponent who didn’t fight nearly as well as he talked, Klitschko dominated from the opening bell Saturday night on his way to a lopsided decision win in a fight that did not live up to its advance hype. “He was scared to fight me,” Klitschko said. “I was expecting more of a challenge in the ring, but he was super defensive.” The win was the 14th straight for Klitschko and improved his record to 17-2 in title fights. More importantly, he captured Haye’s version of the heavyweight title, giving he and his brother, Vitali, all the major heavyweight title belts. The two have long promised their mother they would never fight each other, but Vitali was in Wladimir’s corner and ready to celebrate with him after the win in a rain-soaked soccer stadium in Hamburg. “We’re celebrating with my brother that we’ve collected all the belts in the heavyweight division,” Klitschko said. “It wasn’t as spectacular as I expected, but I was trying.” Haye had been expected to give Klitschko one of his most difficult fights, but he fought

sparingly, seemingly afraid to take punches to the head as part of the cost of getting inside against his larger opponent. Haye blamed a broken toe suffered three weeks before the fight, taking off his shoe in the ring afterward to show it off. “I couldn’t give everything I needed to, it was really frustrating,” Haye said in the ring. “I had to knock him out and unfortunately I couldn’t do it.” Klitschko was never able to really knock Haye down, though the Englishman was down quite often. Haye went to the canvas repeatedly on slips and flops, and finally referee Genaro Rodriguez had enough of it and gave Haye a count when he went down in the 11th round. Haye won only one round on one ringside judge’s scorecards, though that didn’t stop him from raising his hand in victory when the bell rang to end the 12th round. All three judges gave it to Klitschko by large margins, scoring the 12-round showdown 117109, 118-108 and 116-110. Haye, who stirred most of the hype with often crass trash-talking, had vowed to leave Klitschko quivering on the canvas. But he never gave himself an opportunity for a knockout by spending much of the fight on the outside. He said he could not push off on his fight foot to get to Klitschko because of the injury, though he conceded that he was facing a big, strong opponent who gave him fits. The 6-foot-6 Klitschko had a 3-inch height advantage and weighed in at 242 pounds to 213 for the 30-year-old Haye. “It was subpar, nowhere near as good as I would have liked,” Haye said. “He fought the perfect game plan for someone with

Colombia gets shutout win over Costa Rica Colombia is the Group A leader. Costa Rica hasn’t scored a point in tourney. By JORGE RUEDA Associated Press

JUJUY, Argentina — Colombia defeated10-man Costa Rica1-0 on Saturday in the second match of the Copa America. Adrian Ramos scored in the 45th minute, finally breaking through after Costa Rica’s Randall Brenes was sent off in the 28th on a straight red card. Colombia leads Group A from Bolivia and Argentina following their 1-1 draw on Friday in the tournament opener. Costa Rica, playing as a guest team in the South American championship, is without a point and is fielding a youth team, as is Mexico. “To start with a victory always gives you confidence,” Ramos said. “It wasn’t a clear victory, but the important thing is that we won.” Colombia was unimpressive, seldom dominating a short-handed team featuring mostly young, inexperienced players. Colombia could get a shock when it faces Argentina on Wednesday with the Gauchos under pressure at home

after a disappointing opening match. Brenes was sent off after a hard tackle, but Colombia struggled to take advantage. Ramos broke through on an individual effort. Taking a through pass, he raced into the area and then dribbled around Costa Rica goalkeeper Leonel Moreira before slotting home from short range. Colombia star forward Falcao Garcia seldom had the ball in position to strike and went off in the 77th. He had his best chance in the 57th, but his header struck the crossbar. Colombia coach Hernan Dario Gomez said this week he would resign if the team failed to reach the quarterfinals. Despite a poor game, the victory was a big step for Colombia to reach the second round. Costa Rica’s Argentina-born coach Ricardo La Volpe said he was already looking ahead to Thursday’s match against Bolivia. “We have to win this game,” he said. “We’re going to work 30 percent on defense and 70 percent on attack.” Costa Rica was named as a late entry in the tournament after Japan withdrew following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

my style.” Haye, a former cruiserweight champion who had held the WBA heavyweight title, had campaigned for two years for a fight against one of the Klitschko brothers and his popularity in Britain allowed him to gain a 50/ 50 split of the purse. But his con-

stant trash talking clearly irritated Klitschko. That didn’t happen, either, in a fight that didn’t get good until the final round, when Haye landed a right hand to the head and Klitschko came back to land a series of jabs and rights to the head of Haye.

QB Freeman sees some of self in rookie Newton As pocket passers they’re similar, says Buc of No. 1 pick By JOSEPH PERSON McClatchy Newspapers

BRADENTON, Fla. — While the young tennis and golf proteges perfected their strokes and swings on the IMG Academies campus last March, an impressive trio of former, current and soon-to-be NFL quarterbacks gathered on one of the back fields at the facility. Warren Moon, the Hall of Famer who played 17 NFL seasons after beginning his career in Canada, was in Bradenton to give Cam Newton some last-minute instruction before Newton’s pro scouting day at Auburn. Josh Freeman, Tampa Bay’s third-year quarterback, also was training at IMG that day and decided to join Moon and Newton. Freeman, 6-6 and 248 pounds, saw in the 6-5, 248-pound Newton an athlete with a remarkably

similar build, but a unique skill set. “I got a day in working out with him trying to size him up, and kind of give him some advice,” Freeman said. “I’d say he’s a very gifted athlete.” Freeman was back on the IMG campus Tuesday for the start of the Buccaneers’ three-day minicamp that he organized. A number of analysts compared Newton to Freeman after the Panthers made Newton the No. 1 overall pick in the April draft. But Freeman is not so sure. “He’s a little faster than me. He definitely does more on the ground than I do,” Freeman said. “But at the same time, like as far as a pocket passer, it’s kind of similar. We’re kind of a different kind of athlete. Similar builds, but he’s just a different kind of athlete.” That was Freeman’s nice way

of saying Newton does not yet possess Freeman’s pocket skills. But Freeman, 23, was far from a finished product when he entered the league as a first-round pick (17th overall) from Kansas State in 2009. After throwing 18 interceptions in 10 games his rookie year, Freeman spent the offseason studying film to become a more efficient passer in 2010. It worked. Freeman cut his interceptions to six, tossed 25 touchdowns and saw his quarterback rating rocket from 59.8 to 95.9. He is a dangerous runner, but only as a last option. Refining his comfort level in the pocket and improving his ability to read defenses are among the things Newton hopes to accomplish at his sessions at IMG. He has worked with former

Panthers quarterback Chris Weinke, the director of IMG’s football academy, and ex-NFL quarterback Ken Dorsey, who played for Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski at the University of Miami. Newton was in Charlotte for two weeks this month for the voluntary workouts organized by offensive linemen Travelle Wharton and Jordan Gross. But because of the lockout, Newton will go into his first training camp without having participated in any minicamps or team-run practices. “As far as being a quarterback, I know this offseason has to be rough on him,” Freeman said. “But I know they’ve got enough leaders over there in their locker room that they’re going to rally around him. Hopefully, they’re not too good, though.”

After throwing 18 interceptions in 10 games during his rookie year of 2009, Tampa Bay’s Josh Freeman spent the offseason studying film to become a more efficient passer in 2010. All the work paid off, as last season Freeman cut his interceptions to six, tossed 25 touchdowns and saw his quarterback rating rise from 59.8 to 95.9.

The holiday weekend had a great start Saturday, but things will go downhill. An approaching cold front brought a few showers overnight and will deliver a few more later today. In between, there will be peeks of sun, but also the threat for some thunder, lightning, and heavy downpours. If your plans take you outdoors, be sure to have a plan set for when weather threatens. Independence Day skies will brighten, with less humid conditions and just passing clouds. It will be slightly cooler, but temperatures will still remain in the low to mid 80s. -Ryan Coyle

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — John Russo’s chemical lab in North Kingstown has been growing in recent years, even despite a deflated economy, and he expects to add another 15 to 20 positions to his 49 employees over the next year. But the president of Ultra Scientific Analytical Solutions has found himself in a vexing spot, struggling to fill openings that require specialized training in a state where the jobless rate is close to 11 percent, the third-highest in the nation. “It’s very difficult to find the right person, and there’s all walks of life trying to find jobs. I honestly think there’s a large swath of unemployable,” said Russo, whose firm manufactures and supplies analytical standards. “They don’t have any skills at all.” He’s talking about the so-called skills gap, a national problem that has left businesses without a crucial pipeline of the skilled workers they need in a rapidly changing economy. States from Rhode Island to Washington are taking steps to address the gulf. Michigan launched a “No Worker Left Behind” initiative, allowing unemployed or low-wage workers to get up to $10,000 in free tuition for community college study or other training. Several legislatures passed bills creating “lifelong learning accounts,” which, like a 401(k), help workers save for education, training or apprenticeships. The Aspen Institute is spearheading a national campaign that aims to do something that hasn’t happened nearly enough: get community colleges and employers talking. The need for such efforts, experts say, is enormous. In a major report in February, Harvard University highlighted what it called the “forgotten half” of young adults who are unprepared to enter the work force. Some drop out of high school. Some who finish can’t afford college. And some who can afford it find that what they’ve learned in college or vocational programs doesn’t match employers’ demands. “Our system for preparing young adults is broken,” said William Symonds, director of the Pathways to Prosperity Project at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education. “We’re not saySee SKILL, Page 3D

ILKES-BARRE – Robbie Burgit has brought Soul to the streets of Wilkes-Barre. Burgit, owner of Burgit’s City Taxi, has purchased a fleet of new, fuel-efficient Kia Soul hatchbacks to replace his old gas-guzzlers. The first four new cabs Burgit purchased hit the streets April 21and were followed by six more in May. In October, he plans to order three more, completely replacing a fleet of second-hand minivans and sedans. “They’re so popular it’s unbelievable,” Burgit said. “People say they look European.”

“You always want to give as much as you can to the riding public, because they pay your bills,” he continued. “You want to give them everything you can. It’s a way of saying thank you, and it’s just smart business.” Burgit said the rising cost of gas compelled him to consider buying new, more fuel-efficient cars, and has made the purchase worthwhile. He said he typically spent approximately $210,000 each year on gas and replacement vehicles, which he had purchased used at dealer auctions. Roughly $170,000 of that went into the gas tanks of his older, less fuel-efficient cars. “I was saying how can I do this better,” Burgit said. “How can I do a better job spending this money?” The Kias, with fuel efficiency ratings of 24 miles per gallon in town and 30 on the highway, should cut his fuel expenses to less than

$90,000, leaving him room to spend more on vehicles. The Soul’s eight airbags should also help reduce insurance costs, Burgit said. The vehicles also are under warranty for the first 60,000 miles –

about a year in the life of one of Burgit’s cabs – and are brand new, so the company’s maintenance costs should also be drastically cut. See TAXI, Page 3D

s states leave no stone unturned in their attempts to balance budgets, one revenue source is looking like a popular target; applying the sales tax to items purchased online from out-of-state sellers. The prospects for such a tax seem to vary with the desperation of leaders to plug financial holes and with the ideological convictions of the governor. In Pennsylvania, legislative proposals to adopt this levy were placed on simmer as the larger battle of the budget took precedence, said state Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston. “There’s been a lot of talk,” Mundy said last week, including a public hearing that included members of the Finance Committee, which she serves on. Aside from the potential revenue that now goes uncollected, many people see the absence of sales tax on internet commerce as an issue of fairness. Mundy mentioned a presentation made to her committee by brick and mortar retailers, demonstrating “how unfair it is to the mom and pops and even Wal-Mart and Best Buy.” But major retailers and many small businesses also sell online, so they’d have to collect and remit taxes as well. That leads to some ambivalence. Mundy cited a longtime friend who owns a jewelry store and said she would only support a tax at the federal level, since she sells online to customers in other states and a patchwork of tax and notax jurisdictions would be difficult to manage. There’s no question where online giants such as Amazon stand on the issue. Already they’ve cut off relationships with affiliates in states that have adopted the tax, most recently California. That’s a huge market and you have to wonder how long Amazon would want to give up a portion of its sales there. Pennsylvania is in a bit different position, since a 1992 Supreme Court ruling allows states to force businesses to collect sales taxes if they have a physical presence in the state. Amazon has distribution centers here, including one opened in 2008 in the Humboldt Industrial Park with the help of nearly $2 million in state grant money. Maybe if our state adopts a tax that Amazon chooses to fight we should ask for that back. There’s little doubt Pennsylvania could use the tax revenue, estimated by Revenue Secretary Dan Meuser at up to $350 million a year. But his plan to collect it by asking more prominently on residents’ annual tax return doesn’t hold much promise. Yes, we are supposed to voluntarily pay the tax on your out-of-state purchases, though few of us do so. In an ideal world, this issue would be decided in Washington, since internet commerce so easily and pervasively crosses state borders. But the climate of budget discussions there is so toxic there’s no hope of that. In the meantime, states will continue to grasp at revenue sources and this is certainly a logical one. Some opponents will argue that the expense of collecting and paying taxes potentially to 50 states will sap online businesses’ profit, causing them to go under. I doubt that’s true in the case of Amazon and the like; for smaller businesses, surely plenty of programmers already are working on software that could be added to websites and would spit out checks monthly. Let’s let common sense prevail on this issue; if we’re going to apply sales tax to purchases, it should be done uniformly and fairly. If Washington won’t do it, states have every right to step in. And maybe we should acknowledge that if collecting the same taxes as physical stores have for decades means the end of an online business, perhaps it was not a viable business model to begin with.

Queen of NY real estate lived in 4th floor walkup By CANDICE CHOI AP Personal Finance Writer

NEW YORK — The queen of New York real estate once lived in a rent-controlled studio. Illegally. Corcoran Barbara Corcoran says the living arrangement was instrumental in helping free up cash for The Corcoran Group, which was still a struggling real estate firm at the time. The brokerage went on to become an industry powerhouse before she sold it in 2001for $66 million.

Corcoran, 62, is now a contributor for NBC’s “Today” show, where she comments on real estate trends. She’s also an investor on ABC’s reality show, “Shark Tank.” She lives in a three-bedroom apartment on Park Avenue with her husband, their 17-yearold son and 5-year-old daughter. In an interview with The Associated Press, Corcoran shared her experiences as a renter and firsttime homebuyer. She also shared some advice for today’s uncertain market. One tip for sellers? Your neighbors are your enemies. Q: What was your most memorable renting experience in New York City?

A: I was renting a one-bedroom for $1,800 a month with my husband in the 1980s. It was after the stock market crash and my business was going through a tough period. We moved out of our house and into an illegal, rent-controlled studio that belonged to my husband’s cousin. It was a fourthfloor walk-up, $343 a month. I remember the exact rent. It was painted all lavender. I knew what I was doing was illegal. But we lived there for over two years, and it helped with cash flow until the business got back on its feet. Q: How about the first time you

bought a place. What was the most important lesson you learned? A: I tried to buy in 1977 when prices were just beginning to go through the roof. I fell in love with this top story, one-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village. The price was $35,000, and I had saved $4,000. But I got scared and intentionally failed the co-op interview. I chickened out. I was just too frightened to make a commitment. They said they didn’t want me in the building and refused to return my ($3,500) deposit. See CORCORAN, Page 4D

Wireless makes working from home easier By ALAN J. HEAVENS The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Remember when the â&#x20AC;&#x153;expertsâ&#x20AC;? said that most Americans would telecommute from home offices to work every day? Hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened, although everevolving technology has made the notion more viable. Think laptops, netbooks, printers, smartphones, and tablets, networked through a wireless router to a high-speed Internet connection. Thanks to wireless technology, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even need a physical home office â&#x20AC;&#x201D; although if you are counting on an income-tax deduction, the IRS requires that space be dedicated to that purpose. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the deduction? Then â&#x20AC;&#x153;the home office is everywhere,â&#x20AC;?

said Steve Melman, director of economic services at the National Association of Home Builders. About 2 percent of U.S. workers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the self-employed and unpaid volunteers excluded â&#x20AC;&#x201D; consider home their primary workplace, the Telework Research Network says. It estimates that 20 million to 30 million people work from home at least one day a week. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly everyone, though it is more than the Bureau of Labor Statisticsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2001 figure of 19.5 million. Two additional factors have had a huge effect on the number of home offices; the flagging economy and an overall demand for affordability that has resulted from it. Members of the home buildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

group were surveyed at the end of 2010 about what new homes might look like in 2015, Melman said. The consensus: Most future home buyers (read: younger buyers) will use the portability of electronic devices to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make the most of less square footage.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a far cry from the homeoffice-as-emerging-trend of the 1990s, when telecommuting depended on having a work space that could accommodate, in addition to desk and chair, a telephone, a desktop computer, a modem, a printer, a file cabinet and storage for floppy disks (remember those?).

ed stepchildâ&#x20AC;? of education reform. U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson, RPa., co-chairman of the bipartisan Career and Technical Educa-

tion Caucus in Congress, points to the story of Tricia Reich, 18, who graduated this month from the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology. The school trains students in everything from heavy equipment operation and dental assisting to building construction and landscape design. In the automotive technology program, Reich learned everything there is to know about how a car works.

Other cities are left out as startups flee to accelerators By GUS G. SENTEMENTES The Baltimore Sun

BALTIMORE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The two young entrepreneurs did everything right to launch a startup company in Baltimore: They developed a bright idea. They won a local business competition. They networked. But when it came time for Nick Miller and Adam Zilberbaum to take their business to the next level, the creators of Parking Panda â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a smartphone app that helps people rent out their parking spots â&#x20AC;&#x201D; took their fledgling company to the Big Apple. What lured them away? A business accelerator that offered the pair $25,000, three months of office space in Times Square and the chance to schmooze with New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-profile entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having the opportunity in New York and not having one at all in Baltimore makes the decision a little bit easier,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a great opportunity to meet people who will help our business grow.â&#x20AC;? Baltimore might have had its own private accelerator in place this summer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Miller and Zilberbaum applied for it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but organizers couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pull together the necessary funding.

From Silicon Valley in California to Silicon Alley in New York City, business accelerators are drawing attention from venture capitalists and attracting startups striving to be the next Facebook or Twitter. For many freshfaced entrepreneurs, such programs fill the gap between having a good idea and creating a working prototype. For other cities, there is a risk of getting lapped in the race to lure promising entrepreneurs if the local technology community canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t develop its own accelerator program. Accelerators are short-term, intensive boot camps, helping founders through the earliest steps of building a solid business plan and a prototype website or product. In exchange for money and guidance, an accelerator company will give its investors a small stake, ranging from 4 percent to 10 percent. They differ from business incubators, which might nurture an already-focused startup for a couple of years and help it attract new customers. Most of the accelerators grabbing headlines these days are funded by private investors. The concept has spread beyond the usual tech hubs to cities such as Philadelphia and Boulder, Colo.

SMALL TALK

Overcome job turmoil with small steps It’s time for your business’s midyear checkup Q: My life at work has become unbearable. Two years ago, my immediate boss, with whom I had a great relationship, was forced to resign. Shortly thereafter, I had a serious conflict with a female colleague who was extremely close to our department vice president. After that incident, my career went downhill, although I had previously received high performance ratings and a promotion. I began to look for another job, but the economy took a nosedive and my wife was diagnosed with cancer, so leaving was completely out of the question. Now my wife is well again, and the economy has improved. But after having my self-esteem pounded on a daily basis, I no longer feel confident that anyone will hire me. I feel completely powerless to change this situation. I can’t even bring myself to update my resume. When I come home from work, I just eat dinner and go to bed, dreading the next day. Can you offer any advice? A: Given the recent turmoil in your life, it’s no wonder you’re feeling emotionally paralyzed. Sadly, this job is draining you of

the very energy required to escape it. To turn things around, you must either engage in some do-it-yourself rehabilitation or seek out professional help. First, try to recognize that this is not the end of the world, but just a temporary pothole on your career path. If you can view your current circumstances as transitory, you may begin to feel more hopeful. Next, take one small step towards finding another job. Depression may drain you of the energy for action, but the reverse is also true: action can begin to lessen your depression. You might look at career websites, buy a book on job-search skills, join a professional association or call your former boss. After accomplishing that initial step, take another one. And then another. Finally, instead of turning in early, go for a walk or hop on a treadmill. Research has clearly shown that exercise is an antidote for depression, even though it’s often the last thing depressed people want to do. If taking these steps seems impossible, consider consulting a qualified mental health professional. To regain control of your

career, you must first get control of your emotions. Q: My employees and my wife have all said that I frequently sound condescending. I don’t understand this, and it’s certainly not what I want to project. This perception is hurting my relationships, but I don’t know how to change it. A: This problem is often experienced by people who have an “explanatory” communication style. Explanatory communicators try to give their listeners a complete picture by providing detailed information. Unfortunately, all this explaining can sound a lot like lecturing. And most people don’t like being lectured. To assess your own style, record some conversations and listen for specific verbal habits that may be contributing to this misperception. If you’re unable to spot them, I’m sure your wife will be happy to point them out. Marie G.

Push to cut costs, go green inflates hand-dryer business By BRENT SNAVELY Detroit Free Press

DETROIT — American Dryer, a manufacturer of highspeed hand dryers, is benefiting from demand for environmentally friendly products that also reduce costs. In June, the company moved into a 20,000-square-foot building that is 40 percent larger than its prior location and is preparing to launch a new line of highspeed hand dryers for public restrooms. “Companies in general are looking for ways to save money, and our products are one of the few things that do that,” said Dan Rabahy, 47, president of American Dryer. “Our dryers — the new ones — dry your hands as quickly as paper towels, and

you don’t have the mess and landfill issues you have with paper towels.” Rabahy also said the recession and downturn in the automotive industry gave the company an opportunity to expand because

it drove down commercial property values. Now, advances in technology have led to dryers with faster drying times and less noise. American Dryer’s new product line, called Extreme Air, features adjustable speed settings and is designed to operate at four voltage levels. “We already have new commitments from customers, so we are ramping up,” Dan Rabahy said. With the new building, American Dryer can triple its annual production capacity from about 30,000 to 90,000 units. As production increases, the company said it will add employees to its current 20. Dan Rabahy said the number could grow to 40, depending on demand.

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — It’s time to give your small business a checkup. The midpoint of the year is an ideal time to look at the company and see what’s working, and what isn’t. And to do some strategic and financial planning not only for the second half, but for next year, too. The first thing to do is to schedule an appointment with your accountant or financial adviser — and be sure your books are in order before your meeting. If you have a human resources provider, now is also a good time for a gettogether to go over any employee issues you have. And take a step back and look at your business overall. See if you and your staffers need to be working in a more productive manner. The uneven state of the economy means that many small business owners aren’t sure about taking any big steps the rest of the year. For example, buying new equipment or taking on new employees. When you meet with your accountant, you can get a better sense of what your options are. They keep up with changes in the tax law, and also have an idea of what changes may happen in the future. What you’ll likely hear from a financial adviser is that you need

CORCORAN Continued from Page 2D

After that, the prices ran away from me. It took another eight long years to save enough money to buy my first New York City apartment. That taught me an important lesson. The first home is the most important — it gets you into the game. Q: So what advice would you give to first-time buyers given the state of the housing market? A: Buy now. There’s so much negative publicity, and uncertainty is the worst thing for the industry. But you can’t sharp shoot the market and pinpoint when it

to base your business decisions not only on the next few months, but on next year as well. Some of the questions you’ll need to consider: • Do you expect to make money this year? And next year, do you think you’ll be making more money then? Is it better to take a deduction for big purchases in this tax year, or wait until next? • Would spending money now help your business grow? Or is the economy too uncertain for you to know? • If you’re considering buying equipment or moving to a different location, would you get a better deal if you did that now? Many owners might want to make decisions based on how much money they might save on taxes. But that needs to be just one factor in everything you consider. Summer is the big vacation time for most companies. And that can raise a number of employment policy issues. Employers who have never bothered to create a vacation policy can suddenly find that things get a little chaotic — let’s say, because two staffers have plane tickets and hotel reservations for the same week. The first step you need to take is finding a way to resolve the conflicts and get the work done. Can other staffers pitch in? Can

you hire a temporary worker? Your next priority is creating a vacation policy that lets staffers know how many people can be off at once, and what the procedures are for requesting vacation. Will it be first-come, first-served or seniority? It’s a good idea to meet with an HR consultant who can help you with employee matters. And probably help you head off problems in the future. Besides financial and employee issues, you should be thinking about other aspects of your business. Are your computers working well, or do they need maintenance? If you have a manufacturing business, is your equipment in good shape? How about the way your company operates — are your procedures efficient? Are your workers so overwhelmed they can’t get everything done well? Are you making the most of online technology that can save you time and money? And take a look around your premises, and see if they need some renovating, or even cleaning. Is your work environment helping or hurting your business? Is it a pleasant place, not only for your employees, but for your customers as well? Looking at all these issues now can help you do better well past the second half of 2011.

might peak. If you do that, life will always get in the way. You always have these cycles. And when it’s down it can stay down for a while. But when it decides to turn the corner, it always comes back like gangbusters. And then you’ll be waiting in line with all the other buyers. Buyers have two great advantages right now — low, low prices and cheap money. Q: Then there’s the negotiation over the price. What are some mistakes first-time buyers make? A: Don’t pay attention to asking prices at all. What people ask for has nothing to do with the value of a property. You might see a listing for $300,000 and think you should make a $250,000 bid. But hyper-focus on what the house is worth.

You should know what the house is worth by looking at comparable properties. Base your bid on that. If a house is priced appropriately, make a bid 10 percent below that amount. Q: On the other side of the equation, what should sellers be doing differently in today’s market? A: They have to have a different attitude. They have to remember that their neighbor is their enemy— they’re the competition. When considering where to price it, it’s not the kind of market where you price high and see what bids come in. Because the question everyone asks besides the price is: “How long has it been on the market?” You want to have a good answer to that.

MarketPulse EARNINGS PREVIEW Look for energy companies and raw materials producers to report big increases in second-quarter earnings. Earnings for raw materials companies in the S&P 500 are expected to rise 48 percent from the same period in 2010. Earnings for energy producers will likely go up 38 percent. “It’s definitely going to be another commodities story,” says John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet. Prices for oil, copper and other raw materials have fallen since late April, but they remain up year-over-year. Investors will get the first glimpse of the health of raw materials companies when aluminum maker Alcoa reports its results on July 11.

RAW MATERIALS

FIRST HALF WINNERS National Semiconductor, Cabot Oil & Gas, Biogen and Netflix are all part of an elite group: they’re some of the best-performing stocks of 2011. National Semiconductor saw its shares soar during the first half of the year after Texas Instruments agreed to buy the company in a deal valued at $6.5 billion. Cabot got a lift after one of its natural gas reserves was more productive than expected. Biogen’s earnings rose on strong sales of the multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri. And Netflix keep rising as it gains subscribers.

BYE, BYE BUYBACKS? The largest U.S. companies are still spending money to repurchase stocks, but there are signs that the buyback binge may be slowing. Buybacks in the S&P 500 rose 63 percent to $89.8 billion in the first quarter. That's up from $55.3 billion in the same period last year. But the buybacks increased just 4 percent from the fourth quarter of 2010, even though stock prices rose by an average of 8 percent. That indicates companies are spending more money to buy fewer shares, says Howard Silverblatt of Standard & Poor’s. Buybacks peaked in the third quarter of 2007, when companies spent $172 billion repurchasing shares. Investors pay attention to buybacks because they can boost a stock’s price, at least temporarily.

Investing lessons for the rich and poor Rex Macey, chief investment officer at Wilmington Trust, often works with high-net-worth individuals. But he says all investors face similar issues when it comes to buying stocks.

InsiderQ&A

What issues do high networth investors face? I will say this: I have dealt with the wealthy (for some time) and they’re not really any happier than anybody else. If it makes anybody feel Macey better, they have the same (problems). The kids can be into drugs; they’ve got a different set of problems (in that) they can throw money at it. But generally speaking, I don’t see that they’re really necessarily happier. Sometimes, you know, when you have a lot of choices, it makes you less happy than when you have no choices. The rich have a lot of choices, and this can drive them nuts. How are your clients feeling about the market? I don’t think anybody feels good about it today, rich or poor. We believe returns are going to be muted for years to come. We still think stocks are better than bonds. But we’re not looking for double-digit returns; we’re still in the single-digit stock return world as you look out five to 10 years. The reason for that is there has been so much liquidity in the market; the Fed has flooded (the market with its $600 billion bond-buying program). All asset prices are up, and therefore future returns are lower than they would be. Given this environment, how are you guiding investors’ portfolios? In general, it doesn’t make sense to be very safe. You’re not getting anything in cash or bonds. We don’t expect a double-dip to happen. ... But the risks are also there. We’ve got risks about what’s going to happen to U.S. debt, what’s going to happen with the European debt crisis, we think there’s risk in Japan.

Yields jump to six-week high

Fertilizer is hot

Fertilizer doesn’t sound sexy. But the stocks of companies that produce it have been some of the biggest gainers in the market in the last year. Financial analysts don’t see them stopping soon. Farmers are buying more fertilizer because they’re planting more acres of corn, wheat and other crops. Prices for crops are near a record high because demand is growing along with the global population, and bad weather around the world has hurt crops. The price of corn is up 66 percent over the last year, through Thursday. Soybeans are up 43 percent. “We expect global fertilizer

demand to remain strong throughout 2011 and going into 2012,” Credit Suisse analysts wrote in a recent report. That means companies can keep raising prices. Analysts expect their profits to also rise. Agrium, a Canadian fertilizer producer, said its profits may rise as much as 38 percent this quarter from a year ago. Analysts expect profits at Mosaic and Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan to rise about 60 percent. Citi analyst P.J. Juvekar prefers Mosaic and Potash because they focus only on making fertilizer. Some of their rivals have retail

operations and other businesses. But beware — fertilizer stocks can be volatile Fertilizer prices rose in 2008, and that helped the stocks climb despite the recession. By the summer, though, fertilizer prices had climbed so quickly that demand fell. Fertilizer stocks tumbled: Potash lost 68 percent in the last six months of 2008. This time, farmers can afford the higher prices, analysts say. Fertilizer stocks also look cheaper than they did in 2008, based on their earnings. Potash trades at 16 times its expected earnings over the next 12 months. That’s below its 10-year average of 19.

You’ve mentioned that you like companies that pay high dividends. I think you have to qualify that by the word “quality.” You can have a high dividend-paying stock. What we also want to look for is: Do they have stability of earnings? Do they have a reasonable payout ratio? Is earnings volatility lower than other stocks? So we think of quality income as somewhat distinct from just high income. You can have highly leveraged companies where we don’t think the income is as safe as other companies. So we do make a distinction in what we would call quality income.

Where are you finding these high-quality companies? We like U.S. large-caps. We like emerging markets. We think the long-term emerging markets story is still sound. It is not going to deliver the returns it has done in the past. But we like it as a competitive (alternative) to U.S. equities.

What mistakes are all investors — high-net-worth or low-networth — still making? We still see investors who are in cash. Anytime you’re extreme, as opposed to balanced, I think you’re making a mistake. You can chase yield too much. ... I think a lack of diversification would be a mistake at this stage of the game. ... Investors typically have a comfort zone. And they buy a stock because it’s comfortable for them. They buy Coke -- they know Coke, they drink Coke, they like Coke. How can I go wrong with Coke? They end up with all of these name brands, but they’re the same stock over and over again, because they’re all the comfort stocks. They don’t buy things that are uncomfortable. If you buy the same thing, you’re not diversified.

The 10-year Treasury’s yield climbed to its highest level in six weeks after a rally for stocks. Demand for Treasurys, seen as low-risk investments, fell as the S&P 500 rose five straight days. When Treasury prices fall, yields rise. Higher yields can pull up consumer loan rates. A big Treasury buyer exited Thursday, when the Federal Reserve ended its $600 billion bond-purchase program.

Sticking with small caps

p 1-YR AVG. 52 WK STOCK BROKER HIGH CHANGE RATING*

For years, financial analysts have asked when the dominance of smallcap stocks would end. The smallest stocks made the biggest gains after the bull market began in 2009. In May, it looked like the run might be over. After closing at a record on April 29, the Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks sank 10 percent over the next six weeks. That was worse than the 7 percent drop for large caps. Both were hit by worries about a slowing U.S. economy and a possible debt default by Greece. But small caps have bounced back stronger than large caps since midJune. J.P. Morgan small-cap strategist Bhupinder Singh predicts the Russell 2000 will rise 16 percent from Tuesday through the end of 2011. Singh expects the economy to recover later in 2011 after manufacturing rebounds from the March 11 earthquake in Japan. Another advantage for small caps: They have healthier balance sheets than they did at the start of the year. They’ve cut the amount of debt due within five years by an average 22 percent.

This screen shows small-cap stocks for contrarians. These stocks have become popular with short sellers, who bet a stock will fall. Each has at least 15 percent of its shares sold short. But these stocks also are well liked by analysts. Each has an “Overweight” rating from J.P. Morgan.

KEVIN BLAUM IN THE ARENA

July 3 a date to celebrate life and liberty BY JULY 3, 1776 the barracks on Bedloe’s Island had been reduced to a smoldering pile of ashes. Colonists under the command of George Washington saw to it. The island quarters housed British troops and sundry New Yorkers sympathetic to England’s cause. The Continental Congress had appointed Washington commander in chief of the Continental Army, and the 43-yearold Virginian arrived in Massachusetts on July 3, 1775 to assume his post. It had been a difficult year for American forces, and throughout New York and New Jersey the situation would grow increasingly dire in the months ahead. Not far from Bedloe’s Island on July 3, 1776 British general Sir William Howe landed at Staten Island with an army of redcoats and Hessians behind him. About 80 miles southwest of Howe’s landing point the Second Continental Congress was meeting in Philadelphia, where Massachusetts delegate John Adams, the most outspoken supporter of American independence, was posting a letter to his wife Abigail: “Yesterday … a resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states. You will think me transported with enthusiasm; but I am not. I am well aware of the toil, and blood, and treasure, that it will cost us to maintain this declaration, and support and defend these states.” To defend the colonies Adams had propelled Col. Washington to the front of a continental army centered in New England. Adams supported the southern gentleman over fellow New Englanders to unify his country’s war effort. Adams did so despite young Washington’s capture and surrender of Fort Necessity on July 3, 1754 at the commencement of the French and Indian War. Washington, however, went on to become the preeminent hero of the American Revolution and president of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 gathering in Philadelphia. The convention neared total collapse in June of that year due to its inability to agree on the construct of a legislative branch of government. While larger states demanded representation predicated on population, others suggested a second body with equal authority to protect the interests of states less populated. With time running out the “First Committee of Representation” met on July 3, 1787 to search for a compromise and determine what a second legislative chamber might look like. The 11-member committee included the wisdom of Pennsylvania’s Benjamin Franklin. And, while traveling in New York on July 3, 1787, Alexander Hamilton wrote to Gen. Washington in support of a strong and workable national government. Years later, not far from where Hamilton penned his July 3 letter, a fortress in the shape of a 12-pointed star was built on the 14.7 acres of Bedloe’s Island. In 1814 it was named in honor of Col. Elenzer Wood, mortally wounded in the War of 1812 and widely believed to be the first graduate of the U.S. Military Academy to die in battle. It was a stark reminder of Adams’ admonition concerning the toil, blood and treasure it would take “to maintain this declaration and support and protect these states.” Never was that more apparent than during three tumultuous days in Gettysburg – culminating on July 3, 1863 – when tens of thousands of Americans gave their lives to preserve the Union and liberty we celebrate this weekend. Rarely has the celebration been more inspiring than when President Ronald Reagan presided over the unveiling of the refurbished statue constructed in 1886 over Fort Wood on Bedloe’s Island. Renamed “Liberty Island” in 1956, President Reagan ordered the illumination of the Statue of Liberty and her torch on the evening of July 3, 1986. Twenty five years ago today.

BUDGET GIMMICKS

MICHAEL SMERCONISH

Chris Christie may never be this hot again

At top: California Gov. Edmund G. Brown, Jr. holds a news conference in his Los Angeles, Calif, office to explain why he vetoed the latest state budget on June 16. Above, Assemblyman Warren Furutani, D- Gardena, right, argues with Assemblyman Donald Wagner R-Irvine, earlier this month over a controversial redevelopment plan.

Five ways that states hide deficits By JOSH GOODMAN Stateline.org

WASHINGTON — On June 16, California Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a budget that he said was filled with gimmicks — or as he put it, “legally questionable maneuvers, costly borrowing and unrealistic savings.” Editorial boards have praised Brown for exercising responsible fiscal judgment. But Brian Joseph of The Orange County Register has written that Brown’s own budget plan uses gimmicks, too. All this begs the question: What qualifies as a budget gimmick? There’s no textbook answer to that question. But there are certain techniques that states sometimes use to make the budget look balanced when it arguably isn’t. If there’s one thing all of these tricks have in common, it’s that they push this year’s budget problem off into the future. Here are five common budget gimmicks states use: Gimmick 1: Putting off payments

States, like people, have bills to pay. They usually try to pay those bills on time. But when times get tough, they sometimes delay payments, figuring they can make up what they owe later. Illinois is the most famous example of a state that has made regular practice out of delaying payments to universities, doctors, social service providers and others by months. Another example comes from

Minnesota. There, Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton and a Republican-controlled legislature are locked in a budget brawl that may end in a state government shutdown. The two sides don’t agree on much but one thing they do agree on is that the state should continue to delay payments to schools. These funding shifts have been taking place on and off in Minnesota for three decades. Even though the state’s fiscal year finishes at the end of June, schools only receive 70 percent of their funding by then. This trick started because lawmakers found it easier to balance the budget by withholding 30 percent of the school payment. “The schools carry the money on their books,” says Charlie Kyte, executive director of the Minnesota Association of School AdministraSee GIMMICKS, Page 5E

Obama: Just call him the digital candidate By KEN THOMAS Associated Press

President Barack Obama has asked supporters to use Facebook to declare Im in for his re-election campaign and has begun using Twitter to communicate with his nearly 9 million followers.

“The successful campaign is going to be one that integrates all the various elements of the digital channel — email, text, website, mobile apps, and social networks — together as one digital program and also mixing the digital program together with the offline reality of field organizations,” said Joe Rospars, the Obama campaign’s chief digital strategist. “In the end,” Rospars said, “all the digital stuff is in service of the offline reality of knocking on doors, making phone calls and ultimately persuading voters and turning them out.” Obama took advantage of a strong Internet campaign in 2008 to raise an estimated $500 million online while regularly communicating with supporters through text messages, an email list estimated at more than 13 million and content on his www.BarackObama.com website. When Obama was close to announcing his vice presidential selection of Joe Biden, the campaign encouraged supporters to find out by text message, a move that prompted

CHICAGO — President Barack Obama is asking supporters to use Facebook to declare “I’m In!” for his re-election campaign and is using Twitter to personally blast out messages to his nearly 9 million followers. Emails to supporters seek smalldollar donations in exchange for campaign coffee mugs or a chance to win dinner with the president. The campaign’s website helps supporters find local events, plan meetings and raise money while its digital team develops the next big thing. If Obama broke new ground in 2008 using email, text messages and the Web to reach voters, Obama version 2.0 aims to take the Web campaign to the next level — harnessing the expansive roles that the Internet and social media are playing in voters’ lives. The Republican presidential field has also embraced the Web and social media, turning to Facebook and Twitter to launch their campaigns and directing supporters to Facebook sites for videos, messages and online discussions. See DIGITAL, Page 6E

CHRIS CHRISTIE should run for president now, assuming he aspires to ever hold that office. The GOP field for 2012 remains wide open, while there is no telling how a 2016 (or later) field could shape up. The economy is the focal point this cycle, so Christie’s reputation as a budget-cutting governor suits the times. And popularity in politics is often fleeting, particularly for a Republican from Democrat-heavy New Jersey. Dan Quayle was once a Hoosier hero after being elected the youngest U.S. senator in Indiana history. Four years ago, actor and former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson from Tennessee was seen as a GOP savior. And there was a time when the name of South Carolina’s former Gov. Mark Sanford was bandied about as presidential timber. But politics is shaped like a football, and there is no telling where Christie’s fortunes might bounce in the years ahead. Consider that a Quinnipiac University poll released last week found the governor with his lowest approval ratings yet — 44 percent approve of the job he’s doing, while 47 disapprove. That’s down from February, when 52 percent approved of his job performance, and 40 did not. Over the last year, his average approval rating in seven Quinnipiac polls has been 48 percent. Those numbers aren’t terrible, but they do reinforce the notion that Christie’s re-election in 2013 is far from a certainty. He’s an aggressive, mostly conservative chief executive in a fickle, traditionally Democratic state. And should he seek re-election and lose, he will jeopardize his opportunity to run for president. Witness Rick Santorum. He’s attempting to break out of the “no opinion” range in national polls while explaining how he can be elected president despite losing his U.S. Senate seat from Pennsylvania, his home state, by 18 points in 2006. Christie’s personality guarantees that there will be plenty of opportunity for him to both score and lose political favor. A question posed during a special interactive television show last week was a prime example. The incident began when a Garden State resident named Gail wondered why the governor, whose children attend parochial school, felt comfortable cutting funding for public schools. “Hey, Gail, you know what?” Christie snapped. “First off, it’s none of your business. I don’t ask you where you send your kids to school. Don’t bother me about where I send mine.” The incident showcased Christie’s best and worst. Those who like him were reinforced in their belief that he is different: a real guy, a visceral leader who doesn’t put his finger to the wind when he makes policy decisions or public statements. Detractors were reminded that he can also be a blustery hothead who lives in a glass house. During his first year and a half in office, Christie’s better half has generally won out. At home, he has been successful in implementing his fiscal vision and keeping his political opponents on the defensive. The most recent example is the support of the state Legislature — with solid Democratic majorities — for Christie’s plan to get public employees to contribute more to their benefits. Across the country, he has become a media sensation and a darling of a growing cadre of conservatives dissatisfied with the crop of GOP presidential contenders. Many want Christie to run. A group of influential GOP donors from first-in-thenation Iowa dined at Drumthwacket, the governor’s mansion in Princeton, a few weeks ago in the hopes of pulling him into the race. For months, Christie has been unequivocal in his refusals. To the extent that he believes two years in office is too soon to advance, he need only look at the example set by the present commander in chief, who ran for president two years after being elected a U.S. senator. Now is the time for a national Christie candidacy. By 2016, the shine might be off the apple (or the Jersey tomato) and he could easily be “former” Gov. Christie.

OUR OPINION: FUNDING GAP

Local med school is right medicine

HE REGION’S startup medical school still has a perceptible pulse, signaling this worthy project can recover from recent setbacks and, hopefully, thrive long into the future. But its recovery depends in no small part on “life support,” as supplied both by Northeastern Pennsylvania’s power brokers, who can pursue funding for it, and the general public, which can keep faith in The Commonwealth Medical College. Opened in 2009, the college quickly encountered financial trouble due in no small part to the Great Recession’s aftermath. It’s tough to scrounge up capital these days to start a corner laundromat, much less a med school with three regional campuses: in Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and Williamsport. The college needs an estimated $50 million to $60 million over the next five years to get on solid footing, according to TCMC’s officials. An accrediting body familiar with the institution’s money matters already has placed it on “probation.” The school’s administration last month opted to eliminate the jobs of 12 staffers and eight faculty members. Even so, TCMC received the green light to accept a new class of incoming students, and its interim president, Dr. Lois Margaret Nora, exudes the right mix of get-’er-done determination and optimism. “This

medical school is not going away; this medical school is tremendously successful,” she told The Times Leader last week. Nora, who took the helm at TCMC about six weeks ago, acknowledged the college’s maladies but said, “all are treatable.” Our communities benefit by having The Commonwealth Medical College in our midst. A local med school serves to heighten the aspirations of certain high school and college undergraduate students from Luzerne and surrounding counties. The doctors it has been training are likely to one day establish practices in this area, helping to alleviate a shortage of health professionals. Its researchers have begun peering into regional-specific health problems, such as Northeastern Pennsylvania’s above-average incidence of colorectal cancer. If revived, TCMC also promises in decades ahead to provide even more well-paying jobs and spin-off economic activity. Let’s hope this region’s contingent of federal and state lawmakers, as well as others, do all they can to ensure The Commonwealth Medical College gets better – and soon.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We have the funding … . So pound your chests, and the children are going to suffer.” Rep. Frank Dermody The House minority leader and Allegheny County Democrat unsuccessfully argued that Republicans should use a state cash surplus to ease the size of the education cuts contained in the recently adopted budget.

OTHER OPINION: PATRONAGE

Plum jobs prolific under president

T HAS BEEN clear for some time that President Obama has followed the time-dishonored practice of rewarding campaign contributors with cushy jobs in government and other benefits. But a new report by the Center for Public Integrity documents the outrageous extent to which the president’s financial benefactors are being installed in important positions, including ambassadorships. An inquiry by the center’s investigative team found that more than two years into Obama’s administration, “nearly 200 of his biggest donors have landed plum government jobs and advisory posts, won federal contracts worth millions of dollars for their business interests or attended numerous elite White House meetings and social events.” Especially likely to be rewarded are “bundlers,” fundraisers who collect contributions from many individuals. Not every bundler appointed to an important position is unqualified, as the report might suggest.

The Center for Public Integrity report also can be faulted for being priggish in its criticism of minor rewards for contributions. The fact that a donor might be invited to a White House dinner pales as an ethical problem next to the political dispensation of ambassadorships. But in general it documents a perversion of the appointments process. Jaded Washington observers will say that presidents have long installed cronies in palatial embassies. Besides, they say, political patronage appointees are seldom installed in vital positions. For example, when a president is looking for an ambassador to a strategically important country, he is more likely to choose a career diplomat than a crony. That doesn’t alter the offensiveness of naming political contributors to key positions. As the candidate of hope and change, Obama should have turned off the patronage machine. Instead, he revved it up. Los Angeles Times

There’s nothing that matters more than the Constitution THE FOURTH of July might be just a holiday for fireworks to some people. But it was a momentous day for the history of this country and the history of the world. Not only did July 4, 1776 mark American independence from England, it marked a radically different kind of government from the governments that prevailed around the world at the time – and the kinds of governments that had prevailed for thousands of years before. The American Revolution was not simply a rebellion against the King of England, it was a rebellion against being ruled by kings in general. That is why the opening salvo of the American Revolution was called “the shot heard round the world.” Some clever people today ask whether the United States has really been “exceptional.” You couldn’t be more exceptional in the 18th century than to create your fundamental document – the Constitution – by opening with the momentous words, “We the people...” Those three words were a slap in the face to those who thought themselves entitled to rule, and who regarded the people as if they were simply human livestock. Indeed, to this very day, elites who think that way – and that includes many among the intelligentsia, as well as political messiahs – find the Constitu-

COMMENTARY THOMAS SOWELL tion a real pain because it stands in the way of their imposing their will and their presumptions on the rest of us. More than a hundred years ago, so-called “Progressives” began a campaign to undermine the Constitution’s strict limitations on government, which stood in the way of selfanointed political crusaders imposing their grand schemes. That effort to discredit the Constitution continues to this day, and the arguments haven’t really changed much in a hundred years. The cover story in the July 4 issue of Time magazine is a classic example of this arrogance. It asks of the Constitution: “Does it still matter?” A long and rambling essay by Time magazine’s managing editor, Richard Stengel, manages to create a toxic blend of the irrelevant and the erroneous. The irrelevant comes first, pointing out in big letters that those who wrote the Constitution “did not know about” all sorts of things in the world today, including airplanes, television, computers and DNA. This might seem like a clever new gambit but, like many clever new gambits, it is a rehash of arguments made long ago. In 1908,

Woodrow Wilson said, “When the Constitution was framed there were no railways, there was no telegraph, there was no telephone.” In Stengel’s rehash of this argument, he declares: “People on the right and left constantly ask what the Framers would say about some event that is happening today.” Most people have enough common sense to know that a constitution does not exist to micro-manage particular “events” or express opinions about the passing scene. A constitution exists to create a framework for government – and the U.S. Constitution tries to keep the government inside that framework. From the irrelevant to the erroneous is a short step for Stengel. He says, “If the Constitution was intended to limit the federal government, it certainly doesn’t say so.” Apparently Stengel has not read the Tenth Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Perhaps Richard Stengel should follow the advice of another Stengel – Casey Stengel, who said on a number of occasions, “You could look it up.” Does the Constitution matter? If it doesn’t, then your freedom doesn’t matter. Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His website is www.tsowell.com.

An ode to poison ivy – once foe, now praised plant I STILL remember the moment in my childhood in which I lost all faith in the innocent purity of plants. One day, I was a carefree adolescent at summer camp, exploring the leafy woods with my fellow campers. A couple of days later, I was an illustration for a medical textbook. “The worst case of poison ivy I’ve ever seen!” the camp nurse told the other staffers. Since that summer, I’ve never entered forested land without conducting a slightly neurotic survey of the plant life furling about my feet. It’s a story that places me among the countless Americans – health officials estimate there are more than 350,000 new cases every year – who’ve tangled with poison ivy or its relatives, poison oak and poison sumac, and regretted it. I might, however, be one of the few ivy victims who have come to admire the enemy. In fact, my purpose here as summer begins is to defend and even praise the fascinating, sometimes beautiful and environmentally essential poison ivy plant. The triumvirate of poison oak, poison ivy and poison sumac has been admirably holding its own against humans for centuries. Poison ivy acquired its unaffectionate label from one of the 17th-century British explor-

COMMENTARY DEBORAH BLUM ers, Capt. John Smith. He wrote in his journal about one native plant that upon “being touched causeth rednesse, itchynge, and lastly, blisters.” He named it poison ivy, after its resemblance to the ornamental ivies of his home country. The plants are usually referred to as threeleafed, as in “leaves of three, let it be.” But they are actually more complex in design than the rhyme suggests. They are astonishingly adaptable in their ability to conform to the environment, growing up trees as a flowering vine, branching out into small shrubs and creeping along as ground cover. The plants’ ability to be everywhere makes them a dependable meal for species ranging from insects to deer. Poison ivy vines produce tiny greenish-white flowers and silvery winter berries. Wild bees feed on poison ivy flowers, and no, the honey is not toxic. Wild birds depend on those waxy berries in the winter – among the varieties known to feed on them are woodpeckers and warblers, wrens and robins, blue birds, sapsuckers and the tufted titmouse. So it’s good news for the birds and bees, if not the rest of us, that poison ivy and its

relatives brilliantly adapt to climate differences. Is it also good news that they seem to adapt, or even thrive, in response to climate change? Even I didn’t exactly cheer when U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists announced recently that this plant species responds happily to rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They warned, in fact, that today’s poison ivy plant shows signs of growing 50 percent larger than the version found in the early 20th century. Some studies also suggest that the oily sap that flows through these plants, called urushiol, might also become more toxic in a climate-changed world. So consider the steadfast poison ivy plant. It has responded to centuries of human enmity by expanding its range and increasing its annoyance potential. It serves a wide range of other species while remaining impervious to our outrage. How can you not admire such a capable life form, such an able combatant? Still, should it go further, turning into a climate-driven super-toxic ivy, you might well find me expressing my admiration for its adaptability from the safety of the great indoors.

Republican Rick Perry has a nose for winning LET’S assume Rick Perry runs for president. Once a highprofile leader says he doesn’t want the job but then starts talking about it and giving speeches around the country as the election heats up, you can bet he’s running. Here, then, are a few things his GOP opponents need to know about Texas’ governor: Most of all, don’t underestimate his ability to win. Since his days at Texas A&M University, Perry has known how to prevail. In the early 1970s, he won election as a yell leader. Those are the guys you see in white outfits doing contorted cheers during Aggie games. Back then, yell leaders were about as big-men-oncampus as you got. A&M was made up largely of boys – and a few girls – from small towns and rural communities. The campus was a far cry from today’s cosmopolitan school. In that cauldron, Perry forged an ability to outmaneuver others that continues to this day. Remarkably, he has won every one of his political races. He started out in 1985 as a Democratic state rep, rising to state agriculture commissioner, lieutenant governor, governor and, now, likely presidential candidate. Mitt Romney and crew need to especially understand that 1990 ag commissioner race. Perry had been a Democrat from a staunchly Democratic farm community, but he saw Texas turning Republican. Enticed by GOP recruiters, he cut his ties to West Texas Democrats and smoked out the populist Democratic agriculture commissioner, Jim Hightower. Ever since, Perry has followed the political winds and used his fierce Republicanism to beat all foes. Just ask John Sharp, the popular Democrat he defeated for lieutenant governor in 1998. Or gubernatorial opponents Kay Bailey Hutchison, Bill White and Tony Sanchez, to whom he laid waste over the last decade. Even at Perry’s lowest ebb, when he drew only 39 percent in his 2006 gubernatorial re-election campaign, he still outfoxed a four-person field. Simple, the man has a nose for winning built into his leading-man looks. Some might deride him as Gov. Good Hair, but he’s used that mane and handsome face to his advantage, just as Ronald

COMMENTARY WILLIAM MCKENZIE Reagan did. So, again, GOP candidates beware. Rick Perry will be the hardest-nosed campaigner you’ve faced. But here are a few other things you need to know about Perry: While his candidacy will promote Texas’ impressive economic growth, it’s also shocking how he has turned some of the state’s business leaders against him. Many didn’t want him re-elected last year. Now, some are upset at him for going to war against A&M and the University of Texas at Austin. He’s pushed aside A&M’s two latest top executives and questioned the research emphasis of both flagship universities’ professors. This hasn’t pleased business leaders who prize the schools’ intellectual capital. What does it say about a Republican governor’s leadership abilities that he has turned natural business allies against him, including numerous Aggies? Similarly, Perry has few allies in Austin, where even Republicans believe he has governed by fear. What does that say about his potential as a president who would have to build coalitions to get anywhere in Washington? Look also at his gubernatorial decisions. During this year’s Legislature, Perry rebuffed top business leaders and insisted lawmakers not use the state’s reserve fund to help balance Texas’ twoyear budget. As a result, serious initiatives took deep cuts, when it didn’t have to be that way. For example, initiatives to get young children reading and doing math were chopped. Perry might have tea party backing, but how does he explain his budget decision to parents who want to know his education views? Perry will campaign on Texas’ economy, but he’s vulnerable to examination of other parts of the state. If, as I expect, he takes his show to a national stage, he soon must face those questions.

in the trappings of commencement, the waiting vehicle perhaps C loaked carries a veiled message: It’s time for movin’ on. And out?

When those most in need are our neighbors ON A recent Thursday night, inside a huge, decaying Detroit church, two worlds were nudging each other like kids sharing a bed. On one side was a movie set. A TV film was being shot of my book “Have A Little Faith,” and massive cameras, cranes and monitors – not to mention more than 100 workers, from actors to set designers – were clambering about the sanctuary, applying makeup, erecting lights. On the other side, inside the gym, some three dozen homeless men were bedding down for the night. It could not have been more surreal. I Am My Brother’s Keeper Ministries houses the homeless three nights a week, Thursday being one of those nights. And on this Thursday, the unshaven men in raggedy clothes didn’t care if huge trucks and giant lights were jamming the streets around the church. This was their routine. And they needed a place to sleep. So they entered through the side door, as always, and they stepped aside for production assistants or prop guys or costume designers. The movie people went to the right,

the homeless went to the left. “How ya doing?” they said to each other. And each side went about its business. This went on for several hours. The movie was shooting a joyous scene from the book – a celebration service. Big-name actors took their place alongside actual congregants of the church (the film is, admirably, using many real-life people on-screen). An organ played. A drummer kept a beat. The director yelled, “Action!” and an “Amen” chorus broke out. Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, the homeless men dragged vinyl mats and lightweight blankets and placed them in rows on the gym floor. I found myself wandering between the two scenes. They were separated only by a narrow vestibule. At one point, the movie had to reset all the cameras, and the workers spilled outside and grabbed food and drink from the catering tents and vans. I had some, too. And then, in the middle of a bite, I had one of those moments. I had

to remind myself to swallow. I wandered into the catering area, amidst shelves stacked high with snack food, and grabbed big boxes of Nutter Butters, Chips Ahoy and Twinkies. And I went to the gym. You can pretty much figure out the rest, including the gratitude of the men offered a midnight snack. “I’ll take a Twinkie.” “You got any Ho Hos?” “Thank you, man.” “God bless you, man.” Out in the street, the movie makers were chewing quickly. Inside, the homeless were eating, too. Twenty minutes later, the crew returned to the sanctuary and the weary men lay down and closed their eyes. It got noisy on the right. It got quiet on the left. The movie folks have been extremely generous to the church, paying a large rental fee, doing repairs, employing many congregants who would not otherwise see such paychecks. And they are sharing the church’s inspiring story with the world. But there is something to be learned from that surreal moment Thursday night. I know it. I felt it the moment I was eating and they were not. In many ways, my city of Detroit is just a big-scale version of that scene. Our haves

annual Christmas food giveaway. These donations now arrive weekly for 60 to 75 households. The variety includes potatoes, onions, tomatoes, celery, bananas, honeydew, apples and oranges. Volunteers bag the fresh items and include them along with milk, bakery items, canned and dry goods, and frozen foods. In addition to a vast array of foodstuffs donated by the Commission on Economic Opportunity (CEO) twice a month, the new Pittston-area Walmart donates between 100 and 1,000 pounds of nearly expired dry goods, bakery items and frozen meats twice a week. Monetary donations are used to purchase milk delivered each week at cost from Blue Ribbon Dairy. The dairy also donates free milk for 350 households each Christmas. Volunteers use their own trucks and vans to pick up most donated items from CEO, Walmart and local schools and churches. Recently, a commercial van was donated to the pantry to aid in picking up donated items. The residents and various

groups of the Greater Pittston community have become “goodwill ambassadors” and benefactors through their continued donations of money, food and personal hygiene items such as hair care products, soap and toothpaste. Too numerous to list by name are the churches, schools, Scout troops, Red Hat societies, athletic teams, VFWs, fire departments, businesses and other organizations that have held food drives. The National Association of Postal Carriers recently netted 800 pounds of food for the pantry. None of this would be possible without the parish community of St. John the Evangelist lending the former Seton Catholic High School building and contributing to its upkeep. Nor would it be possible without the dedicated volunteers who serve with a smile each week. Thank you to all who make this ministry of helping others possible. Sadly, along with the outpouring of support, the need continues to grow. More than 700 families within the Pittston Area and Wyoming Area school districts are served.

Families whose incomes fall within 150 percent of the federal government’s poverty guidelines are eligible to receive food every five weeks. A new category of “increased need” recently has been established for 200 families whose incomes are 25 percent of poverty. Households whose incomes range from zero to several hundred dollars per month (depending on the number of people within the household) may now schedule an appointment for food every three weeks. In spite of the volume of food donated, the pantry is a “supplemental food program” that does not meet a family’s food needs for more than several days. As grateful as we are for all who donate, our need is so great that donations are always welcome. Food can be delivered to the St. John the Evangelist parish office at 35 William St., Pittston. Monetary gifts can be sent to the same address, made out to The Greater Pittston Food Pantry.

and have-nots live so close to each other. Many of us need not go far to share the bounty of our lives with people less fortunate. And yet we rarely do. We stick to our side. They stick to theirs. It needn’t be that way. It’s actually pretty easy to share food with hungry people. It’s pretty easy to share your skills, your time, your talent. The hardest part is crossing between worlds. We are afraid. We are unsure. We don’t have the time. Or we tell ourselves we don’t. I know it’s rarely as easy as walking from one side of a church to the other.

A Fourth salute from W-B’s mayor

he Fourth of July carries significant meaning for all Americans. The holiday is not solely a reminder of how far we have come as a country, but also of how far we have yet to go. It is a reminder that the strength of our democracy demands constant vigilance and participation by the people in order to thrive. We are reminded on this holiday of the sacrifices borne by the men and women of the Armed Forces today and throughout our country’s history to preserve our cherished freedoms. Nearly 235 years ago, a group of men assembled in the heat of Philadelphia and set a bold vision for a country founded not on birthright but on equality. Throughout our history, we often have fallen short of that founding pledge, but today is a reminder that we must continue to fight as other generations have done to fulfill our mission statement that all people have a right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The

Voter weighs in on fiscal ‘flakes’

t took only a few seconds. On Fox News, on June 26, anchor Chris Wallace asked Congresswoman Michele Bachmann: “Are you a flake?” The next day Bachmann announced her candidacy for president. Webster’s defines “flake” as an oddball. Is Bachmann a flake? Let’s see. Bachmann is a mother of five, foster mother of 23, has been married for 30-plus years and is a small-business owner with 50 employees. Check. Bachmann is intelligent, well-educated and holds a law degree and a master’s degree in tax law. Prior to entering politics, she was a successful practicing tax attorney. Check. Bachmann is a three-term U.S. congresswoman and also served in the Minnesota state Senate. Check. Bachmann won’t vote to increase the federal debt ceiling without tying any future increase to a serious reduction in spending. She will cut federal spending by 25 percent, repeal “ObamaCare,” kill

For U.S. senator, our choices will be Bob Casey, who voted for more than $2 trillion in government boondoggles or a fiscally conservative Republican “flake.” For U.S. congress person

from the 11th District, our choices will be fiscally conservative “flake” Lou Barletta or a Democratic challenger who probably will say we need to rein in spending, but like former Rep.

Bill called risky to state’s forests

congressman from California wants to put some of Pennsylvania’s wildest forests at greater risk. U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s hostile bill targets millions of roadless acres of American wildlands, including some in

Pennsylvania. The bill, H.R. 1581 (the “Wilderness and Roadless Areas Release Act”), would strip protections for 25,000 pristine acres in the Allegheny National Forest. As someone who has spent countless hours hiking through the Allegheny’s backcountry, I find this bill to be an insult to the region. Not only does the Allegheny provide anglers with a great place to fish, it also provides families with a great atmosphere for canoeing and outdoor recreation. The region’s older oak, black cherry, hemlock and white pine forests provide hunters with ideal habitats in which to hunt for deer and other game. Four Allegheny forest tracts that qualify for wilderness designation under the Wilderness Act of 1964 – Allegheny Front, Clarion River, Cornplanter and Tracy Ridge – could be stripped of protections. Even if you are not concerned with protecting Pennsylvania’s wildest places, you might be interested in protecting its bottom line. In 2006, more than four million Pennsylvanians went hunting, fishing or wildlife watching,

which generated more than $4 billion for the state’s economy. This attack on our wild lands is also an assault on Pennsylvania’s conservation legacy: the late Republican U.S. Rep. John P. Saylor of Johnstown was an original sponsor of The Wilderness Act that has conserved land throughout the country. Readers should urge their representatives in Congress to not strip the Allegheny’s wildest places of protections, so that future generations can enjoy some of the commonwealth’s most beautiful outdoor recreation areas.

Pringle burn plan ignites a dispute

am fuming too, fuming that a non-resident such as Ron Ashton of Gouldsboro (“Pringle’s trash burning gets reader fuming mad,” June 29)

would stick his proboscis into the subject of burning in the borough where I live and vote! Mr. Ashton suggests that the council in this town permits the burning of “trash.” Let me enlighten him. Pringle does not permit the burning of trash. It does permit the open burning of paper and paper products. As for pollution, Mr. Ashton must ride a bicycle to work. Heaven forbid that he drives an auto that spews pollution! Permitting the burning of paper and paper products reduces the pollution from a truck that makes several trips to a landfill – that is the epitome of pollution itself. An increase in loads of additional bags means more carbon monoxide pollution from additional landfill trips, not to mention an increase in disposal fees and the cost of plastic bags, and the additional cost of fuel for the truck. Mr. Ashton should keep his proboscis in the area where he resides, not in the area where other people reside and are familiar with the subject at hand. Jerry Schutz Pringle

Gimmick 2: Accelerating revenue The flip side of delaying a payment is booking future revenue ahead of schedule. That’s what Texas is doing. To close a mammoth budget gap over the next two years, conservatives in the legislature refused to raise taxes. Instead, they devised a plan to collect some taxes sooner. Under the state’s expected budget deal, Texas’ large retailers will pay some of their sales tax collections early. That will add $231 million to the budget for the next biennium. But it also means the money won’t be there for the biennium after that. Washington State tried a variation of this tactic back in 1971 and it haunted the budget process for

Gimmick 3: Using temporary money for recurring expenses States often rely on rainy day funds to get through tough fiscal times. In Hawaii, it’s raining so hard that the state is tapping its Hurricane Fund. The Hurricane Relief Fund was never intended to be used as a budget cushion. It was created after Hurricane Iniki caused serious damage to the state in 1992. Property insurers were scared away from the islands. So the fund was started for the purpose of jumpstarting the insurance market if disaster struck again. Hawaii stopped adding new money years ago, but the fund still holds $117 million. “The money has basically just been sitting there for nine years,” says Lloyd Lim, the acting executive director of the fund. This year, though, the Democratic-controlled legislature shifted $42 million from the fund to balance the budget. They also authorized Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie to use the rest if he chooses. Whether Hawaii really needs a fund specifically for hurricane insurance is a matter of debate. What’s clear is that this is just a one-time fix for Hawaii’s budget. Meanwhile, the things the budget pays for — such as schools, prisons and health care — will keep costing the state year after year. States have found numerous ways to secure one-time infusions of cash. They’ve raided dedicated accounts like the Hurricane Fund, offered tax amnesties to delinquent taxpayers and sold state property, among others.

These steps temporarily relieve the need to cut services or increase taxes. But because the money is temporary and the expenses continue, they don’t let states avoid those choices forever. Gimmick 4: Counting on savings that aren’t likely to materialize There’s no doubt that many government programs can be run more efficiently. But sometimes, states count on savings based on assumptions that are clearly unrealistic from the start, setting up their budgets to fall out of balance. California has been one of the biggest offenders here. California’s budget for 2010 counted on state agencies cutting their information technology expenses by $130 million. As it turned out, the state only managed to save $50 million on IT. The last two years, California has saved about $100 million combined by cracking down on fraud in a program for in-home care for seniors and the disabled. But this year’s budget depends on finding $150 million in savings from anti-fraud measures, a figure the Legislative Analyst’s Office noted as unlikely. Then there’s prisons. Every year, California lawmakers tell the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation how much to spend. Every year, the agency exceeds that budget. One of the big reasons why is that lawmakers have made “unallocated” reductions to the corrections budget. They don’t specify how to cut the budget — by closing a prison, perhaps. They simply tell the agency to spend less. In theory, that gives the agency some flexibility. In practice, the agency finds the goals set for it impossible to achieve. Much of its costs are for employees who can’t be cut: Prisons must be guarded 24 hours a day. “Realistically, to get a significant amount of savings in corrections, you have to adopt some policy changes,” says Anthony Simbol, director of criminal justice in the Legislative Analyst’s Office. Of course, what savings are realistic often is only clear in retrospect. This year, Connecticut’s two-year budget was balanced

SUNDAY, JULY 3, 2011 PAGE 5E

with the help of concessions from public employee unions. The legislature’s nonpartisan Office of Fiscal Analysis said it couldn’t verify some large pieces of the deal, including $90 million in savings expected from information technology and another $180 million expected to come from suggestions from state employees. Mark Ojakian, who helped negotiate the deal for Democratic Gov. Dan Malloy, counters that the numbers were the result of firm ideas and careful analysis of how much they would save. Gimmick 5: Counting on revenue that isn’t likely to materialize Just as spending assumptions can be unrealistic, so can assumptions about how much revenue is going to come in to state coffers. A classic case comes from New York. Last year, lawmakers there approved a budget that included $150 million from collecting cigarette taxes on Indian reservations. There was just one problem: The state has tried to collect those taxes for years and had never seen a dollar from it. Tribes fought the move both in court and with civil disobedience — in 1992, members of the Seneca tribe threw burning tires on the New York State Thruway in protest. This year, New York lawmakers were undeterred. They approved a budget that yet again counted on $140 million from the tribal collections. The state has won recent court rulings that make that goal appear more attainable than in the past; a ruling last week lifted an injunction against collecting the tax. Still, nearly three months into New York’s fiscal year, the state still hasn’t collected anything. Any state budget relies on forecasts for revenue collections. Where states get into trouble is when they rely on forecasts that are wildly implausible. Sometimes, the wild card is Washington. In California, last year’s budget was built around receiving $5.3 billion in new federal money at a time when there was little appetite in Washington for new aid to states. Then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the budget in October. By November, it was back out of balance.

tors, “but they don’t have it in their checking accounts.” This is a trick that only works once. Each subsequent year, the state has to pay the 30 percent from the previous year plus the 70 percent from the current year. In addition, the delayed funding imposes borrowing costs on some schools. Breaking this cycle is difficult because it would mean coming up with more than 100 percent of the schools’ funding in one year. That’s why Dayton and the legislature both support continuing the shift. Pension funds are another area where states sometimes skip a payment — there’s always the chance that a bull market will pay high enough investment returns to make up the difference. That doesn’t always happen, of course. Since 1998, New Jersey has never once made the actuarially recommended payment into its public employee pension system. As a result, the state is more than $50 billion short of what it would need to pay its financial obligations to retirees. Under a pension overhaul the legislature is close to approving, the state would increase its contributions, but it would still be years before it made its full required payments.

Biden defending Obama on economy By KEN THOMAS Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The longest walk parents can make, Vice President Joe Biden often says, is upstairs to tell the children they’ve lost their job. “Millions have been stripped of their dignity,” Biden told an Ohio audience last year. “It’s time to restore their dignity.” Biden, who spoke frequently of his blue-collar roots in Scranton during the 2008 presidential campaign, is reprising his role as one of the Obama administration’s top surrogates on the economy and an empathetic voice in industrial Midwestern states hard hit by the recession. The former Delaware senator is expected to play a similar role in the 2012 campaign, focusing on Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. President Barack Obama carried them in 2008, but each elected Republican governors in 2010. A large swath of the Midwest, including Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin, which Obama also won, are considered prime targets for Republicans next year. “He obviously has deep, deep roots in the industrial Midwest running from Pennsylvania right across and he’ll be very valuable there,” Obama strategist David Axelrod told reporters in Chicago this past week. Biden, has assailed moves by GOP governors in Wisconsin and Ohio to strip away collective bargaining rights from most public workers. He’s also criticized efforts by Republicans in Congress to turn Medicare into a program with federal subsidies for beneficiaries who would seek coverage from private insurers. The vice president has defended Obama’s handling of the economy, pointing to tough decisions

to seek an economic stimulus package and rescue U.S. automakers. But his pitch often turns personal, drawing on his father’s decision to move the family to Delaware in the 1950s in search of a job. “There’s still a long way to go. There are still millions of women and men who are like the family I was raised in,” Biden told Democrats in New Hampshire last month. “When a recession hit, we knew someone sitting around my dad’s kitchen table ... was going to lose their job.” Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland said Biden “has the ability to express what a lot of people feel when it comes to their anxieties over the economy and job loss, their kids. I think he does a really good job of identifying with those concerns and expressing them.” Ahead of Biden’s visit, Republicans countered that Obama’s policies led to GOP gains in 2010 and have failed to revitalize the economy. “All the visits in the world from President Obama, Vice President Biden and other toplevel surrogates won’t change the administration’s job-killing policies,” said Republican National Committee spokesman Ryan Tronovitch. Largely under the radar, Biden has maintained a busy travel schedule, appearing in more than 150 political events in 2009 and 2010, including 20 in Ohio and 14 in Pennsylvania. In 2011, he had appeared at more than a dozen political events before the Ohio dinner. Fundraisers planned for Monday in Atlanta and Nashville, Tenn., were postponed so Biden could meet with Senate leaders about efforts to increase the government’s borrowing limit, aides said.

years. To balance the two-year budget that ended in June of that year, the state grabbed revenue from July. In effect, it was using 25 months’ worth of revenue to pay 24 months’ worth of bills. Getting spending and revenue back into alignment required writing a budget that would pay 24 months’ worth of bills with 23 months’ worth of revenue — something Washington State wasn’t able to do until 1987. This year, the “25th month” gimmick came up again as an idea for balancing the budget, but Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire rejected it as shortsighted.

more than 2 million people to sign up. Three years later, social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter have exploded, smart phones and apps are more prevalent, tablet computers are on the rise, and most Americans are online. When Obama announced his presidential campaign in 2007, Facebook had fewer than 20 million users worldwide. That number has now surpassed 500 million. “There’s no online and offline organizing. There’s organizing,” said Jeremy Bird, Obama’s national field director, during a session at Netroots Nation in Minneapolis. Digital strategists say Obama’s campaign has an advantage over the Republican field because of the work his camp conducted in 2008 and the months it will have before Republicans coalesce around a challenger. The Obama campaign declines to say how many of its supporters have clicked the “I’m In!” button, but Facebook brings Obama’s campaign to millions of news feeds, allowing supporters to share content, plan events and recruit friends in ways that email couldn’t in 2008. “If you’re my friend and I see that you’re going out to canvass this weekend for Barack Obama, I’m much more likely to participate because I know my friends are doing it,” said Stephen Geer, a former director of email and online fundraising for Obama for America. He’s now vice president of new media at OMP, a Washington fundraising and communications firm. Facebook has grown in prominence in political campaigns since 2008 — for example, more than 12 million people clicked the “I Voted” button in 2010, signifying that they had cast ballots, compared with about 5.4 million in 2008. A recent study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that Facebook users are more likely to engage in political activity than someone who browses the Internet or uses other social media services. Twitter, meanwhile, was still in its infancy when Obama first ran for president and played little role in that campaign. This time, Obama has signaled the value of his (at)barackobama handle, telling supporters he’ll regularly send personal tweets signed “-BO.” His campaign has set up separate Twitter accounts for all 50 states to communicate with supporters. By its nature, Twitter allows the campaign to monitor public opinion on a minute-byminute basis, respond to critics and shape the news. While social media may generate new interest in 2012, technology could play an important role

in the more mundane, shoe-leather work of registering new voters and turning them out. In 2008, campaign supporters who knocked on doors of potential voters largely used paper “walk sheets” that were printed out at local headquarters. The results of the door-to-door meetings were keyed into databases to guide the campaign’s work to persuade voters on Obama’s behalf. This time, the campaign is exploring ways of streamlining the process, from bringing more uniformity to how the information is taken down and entered into a database to using mobile devices, tablet computers or improvements to the website to help volunteers find key households or input data gathered at doorsteps. The approach could save time and help the campaign be more strategic about the households it targets. The Democratic National Committee, for example, experimented with an app in 2010 that used global positioning systems to help canvassers find targeted households in certain neighborhoods, something that could be used more broadly in the presidential campaign. Email is still king when it comes to fundraising, and online strategists consider the Obama campaign’s massive email list a gold mine. The campaign has replayed some of its greatest hits in fundraising pitches — offering small donors a chance to win dinner with Obama and Biden and matching the contributions of $5 or more from first-time donors. Pivoting off the “birther” controversy, the campaign created a “Made in the USA” mug, with a picture of Obama’s long-form birth certificate on the back, for supporters who gave $15 or more. Online advertising, meanwhile, is also expected to grow in sophistication. Political campaigns have been ramping up their use of online ads, turning to ads of 15 to 30 seconds that appear before video clips running on websites like Youtube and Hulu. “We’re getting a lot of questions now from people thinking strategically on how to drive their message next year online,” said Andrew Roos, a political ads executive with Google. Rospars, the mastermind behind Obama’s digital success in 2008, cautions against looking at 2012 as the Facebook or Twitter campaign. Instead, it’s about making all things digital work in harmony to pay off in November 2012. “It’s tempting to sort of pile onto the one new thing and sort of put all your eggs in one basket,” Rospars said. “But I think in the history of campaigns, big bets like that don’t tend to pay off. It’s actually about integrating everything.”

Charlie Day, of ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ fame, takes on a new personality in ’Horrible Bosses.’

Ghastly roles are all in this Day’s work By AMY LONGSDORF For The Times Leader

along with Rottweilers, German shepherds, Dobermans,

That reputation is an unfairly bad rap, said Jane Caruso-Dahms, a photographer who is eager to spread her message in an art exhibit titled “Fidos and Footwear.” “I wanted the owners to have a presence,” she said, explaining all the shoes and feet, “but not everybody wants to be identified (by face). Still, shoes say a lot about a person.” The exhibit opens Friday at Mainstreet Galleries in Kingston, during a reception at which several rescue animals may be present. Caruso-Dahms, 40, of Kingston, owns a rescue animal herself. Bra-

Perhaps most tellingly, so did a barefoot baby, whose

Charlie Day has cornered the market on characters who do appalling, ghastly things yet somehow never seem that appalling or ghastly. Take his alter ego on “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” the F/X series he created and executive-produces with friends Rob McElhenney and Glenn Howerton. On the show, Philly bar owner Charlie Kelly is a stalker, a glue-sniffer, an illiterate and a dude who lies about having cancer so he can get a sympathy date from the woman he’s stalking (Day’s real-life wife, Mary Elizabeth Ellis). Then there’s Dale, Day’s character in “Horrible Bosses,” a comedy opening Friday in local theaters. It’s the tale of three put-upon employees (Day, Jason Sudeikis and Jason Bateman) who decide the only way to deal with their overbearing supervisors (Jennifer Aniston, Donald Sutherland and Kevin Spacey) is to knock them off. Terrible, huh? Absolutely, except that, thanks to Day’s goofy turn, Dale comes off as a hard-core romantic, a man so in love with his fiancée that he never even considers accepting the advances of his boss, a gorgeous, predatory dentist (Aniston) who can’t keep her hands off him. “There is a trick to playing these guys, and that is to understand why they’re doing these terrible things,” Day says. “If you can understand why, you can laugh at them. “Watching these guys get in over their heads, with some naïve motivation for doing something despicable, and then try to squirm away from the repercussions, that’s something you can laugh about. Also, they can never get away with the terrible things.” At 35, Day is about to get away with being a movie star. In addition to starring in “Horrible Bosses,” he’s in talks to join Idris Elba and Charlie Hunnam (“Sons of Anarchy”) in the alien invasion thriller “Pacific Rim,” the latest from “Hellboy” and “Pan’s Labyrinth” mastermind Guillermo Del Toro. “It’ll be a departure, for sure, if I move forward with it,” Day says. “It’ll be a lot of fun. … Before ‘Sunny,’ I did a lot of serious stuff. So I’d be excited to get back to that.” In the meantime, there’s “Horrible Bosses,” which allows Day to engage in the kind of outrageous comedy that’s very much in his wheelhouse. Day’s characters in “Horrible Bosses” and “Sunny” could be distant cousins, but there are some differences, too. See DAY, Page 6F

Next ‘best beach’ awaits moment in sun By GARY A. WARNER The Orange County Register

The people of Coronado, Calif., should order extra champagne for Memorial Day 2012, while the public relations office at Hilton Hawaiian Village likely has two more years to prepare its big party. The planning can start now because it’s almost a lock that next May, Coronado will be named the Best Beach in the United States. Then in 2013, the title will be handed to Kahanamoku Beach in Waikiki on Oahu. Each Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer, an oceanography professor at Florida International University, Stephen Leatherman, announces “the best beach in America.” The media gobbles up the list put out by the self-named “Dr. Beach.” Stats show the title is usually worth a 10 to 20 percent bump in tourism for the locals.

Stephen Leatherman says he uses 50 measurements to grade the beaches, including water quality, warmth, sand color, amenities and crowds.

event. The Associated Press released the list to newspapers and TV stations with an embargo, like a presidential speech (and as with a speech, many broke the promise not to publish early). The “no repeats” rule means 12 beaches in Hawaii have had their moment in the media sun, but the state has all but disappeared from the list in recent years. Same with a lot of the top beaches in Florida, Leatherman’s home state. Leatherman does release the list of past annual winners, but if you go to his website at drbeach.org, you’ll find the link to a list of past winners in fine print in the upper right corner. It rarely gets much play. I’ve sparred, in a good-natured way, with the list for many years. The rankings feed America’s addiction to best-of lists. In the end, it is a good cause. The

Leatherman says he uses 50 measurements to grade the beaches, including water quality, warmth, sand color, amenities and effects of crowds. The best beach for 2011 is Siesta Beach near Sarasota, Fla. The only problem is the “best beach” really isn’t that at all, even by Leatherman’s measure. It’s really about the 21st best beach. Leatherman retires a beach after it wins. This list has been coming out since 1991, so that is a lot of sand out of the running. The list has become a major media See BEACH, Page 6F

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your mistakes will be magnificent marks of your growth. Your sign mate and avant-garde playwright Samuel Beckett said it well. “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even when you are very still, some part of you, like your mind or your heart, is dancing. You dance to music, to life — with a human partner or with the wind. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Relationships change. They have to in order to keep up with the everchanging structure of life. You are emotionally secure and, therefore, not jarred by the changes. Instead, you expect and welcome them. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You intend to be patient and loving, and that is usually how you come across. You sometimes have to remind yourself of this intention, though. It does need to be periodically reset. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your inner reality is different from the inner reality of your loved ones, especially those of the opposite sex. Your needs are different, too. You recognize this and do what makes you feel safe, secure, creative and vital. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your aim is to go out and be dynamic as you work to make the world a better place. You may only “go out” as far as the local grocery store, but the way you interact there will still improve the world. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What you witness will move you. Your heart will melt as you surrender to the love you feel. There’s no good reason to resist this process, so go with it and be emotionally free. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your plans are not exactly working out the way you wanted them to, but don’t get too upset about it. This new way is most likely the absolute best way, which you’ll find out once you drop your resistance to it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s time to get conscious of the rules and regulations that go along with being in a relationship with you. Do you know what they are? Think about what a person has to do to please you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be visiting new venues and perhaps a place of worship. Observe others to learn what’s expected. Note that applause can be encouraging and congratulatory, but it is not always acceptable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Intention is powerful. You send terrific energy to your family, and they deal with their challenges more easily because of the boost. It helps that you also act in a way that supports your loved ones. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is so much going on for you these days that the thought of having time to yourself may seem indulgent and impractical. And yet, it is vital to your health and well-being. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 3). You’ll have great powers of tenacity this year. You’ll make a statement about your intentions and follow through until that statement comes true. This month brings helpful teachers and new resources. A love relationship inspires you in July. August brings domestic improvements at a discount. Capricorn and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 8, 14, 36 and 42.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE

Best friend bewildered by wedding exclusion Dear Abby: My best friend, “Beth,” has found her “Mr. Right” after almost 35 years of singlehood. She is being married soon and I am thrilled for her. Over the last 15 years, I have been her sounding board. I have been through every date, every kiss, every heartbreak and every broken engagement with a string of men. Beth has invited me to the wedding, but she hasn’t asked me to stand up for her. Because we live 2,000 miles apart, we talk frequently on the phone and I keep waiting for her to ask, but she never brings up the subject. It’s like the elephant in the living room. Beth knows I can afford the trip, so money isn’t a concern. Should I tell her my feelings are hurt or ask her who is going to stand up for her? Or should I follow my husband’s advice and just “let it go”? — Broken-Hearted Friend in Oregon

Some of my past employers have had policies regarding discussing our tips. My current job has no such policy. One of my co-workers likes to let everyone know how much he earns. I don’t hear anyone else announcing their tips. Someone will always make less, and won’t find it helpful having it confirmed out loud. I don’t know how to let my co-worker know this without seeming like I’m being critical. Your advice would be appreciated. — Waitress in California Dear Waitress: It’s never a good idea to brag about money because it can create resentment among co-workers.

dley is a 2-year-old pitbull/Shar Pei mix, and she cites his playful presence as evidence there’s no such thing as a bad breed of dog. “It’s how they’re treated,” she said. “If one breed is banned, drug dealers and other criminals would just turn to another” to use as a weapon or intimidation factor. A glance through newspaper archives might lead some to believe certain breeds cause problems. Among the unfortunate situations: a Wilkes-Barre police officer investigating a hit-and-run had to shoot a pit bull that jumped on police in August 2008; a 76year-old Clarks Summit woman needed rabies shots after a canine she identified as a pit bull attacked her and the dog she was walking; a Doberman entered a Hunlock Township home and killed cats in April 2010; and, in July 2009, a small mixed breed had to be euthanized after two pit bulls mauled it on the River Common. The owners of the small dog that had to be euthanized, it was reported, were not interested in punishing pit bulls. After the 2009 incident, a woman representing the family approached Wilkes-Barre City Council with an electronic petition, signed by 136 people, asking the council not to ban breeds from the River Common but to strengthen laws against neglectful pet owners. It’s not right to blame the animal, said Caruso-Dahms, who became concerned about breed-specific rules when she lived in Lehigh Valley. The state of Pennsylvania actually prohibits breed-specific legislation – which means a municipality couldn’t outlaw all mastiffs, say, or German Shepherds. Still, an insurance company told Caruso-Dahms’ landlord it wouldn’t cover her building if her tenant kept her pit-bull mix. The insurance company didn’t care that Bradley is well-behaved and gentle, or that CarusoDahms knows lots of people who describe similar pets as great family dogs. The insurance hassle is a moot point, because Caruso-Dahms now lives in Wyoming Valley, where she has spent the past year compiling about 50 “Fidos and Footwear” shots, enough for a book. About 15 of the pictures will be on display beginning Friday at Mainstreet Galleries, where coowner Sally Casey, herself a dog

will send you dashing to the shelves to devour everything else she’s ever written — it’s that good.

Inspired by the experiences of her father-in-law, Mason weaves a

ASSOCIATED PRESS

spellbinding tale of war, love and survival in “The Girl in the Blue Beret” that alternates seamlessly between World War II and modern Europe. Marshall Stone is a 60-year-old former bomber pilot whose age forces him to retire from his beloved airline job. To the surprise of his friends and family, he picks up and moves to Paris, intent on finding the ordinary people who hid him and led him safely out of France during the war after his B-17 crashed. Through his eyes, we meet members of the French Resistance who sacrificed greatly and often risked their lives to help downed airmen. We also learn about a cocksure young man slow to realize the high price of war to those who lived through it.

Mason’s writing is exquisite. Not a single word is wasted or out of place, and she never drifts toward sentimentality — even in her descriptions of combat and the wreckage left behind. Her extensive knowledge of aircraft, combat and World War II is readily apparent, but isn’t heavy-handed. Perhaps most impressive, though, is her ability to experience the world through a no-longer-middle-aged widower. “The Girl in the Blue Beret” is not only a remarkable work of historical fiction, it’s also storytelling at its best.

‘Adrenaline’ will get readers’ pulse racing By JEFF AYERS For The Associated Press

“Adrenaline” (Grand Central), by Jeff Abbott:

Jeff Abbott delivers “Adrenaline,” a thriller that will get even the most jaded reader’s pulse racing. Sam Capra works as a consultant for the CIA in London. During a work meeting, he gets a call from his pregnant wife asking him to immediately come outside the building. He arrives on the sidewalk just as his wife is driving away with a stranger. Then the building ex-

plodes, killing those inside. Evidence reveals that a bomb was placed at Capra’s desk, and he and his wife are considered traitors. Capra is put in a prison cell, and the people he had trusted now use everything in their arsenal of tricks to get him to confess.

Capra refuses to play along. Somehow he must escape, track down his missing wife and find the real culprit. “Adrenaline” rivets the reader from the very first paragraph, and Capra proves to be a character with enough skills and depth to be extremely compelling, even when the action lags, which isn’t often. Abbott’s previous thrillers have been good, but this one is a grand slam home run. Everyone will want to see what Abbott, and Capra, have up their sleeve next.

Rolling Stone editor David Browne posits that albums can reflect our times much like a newspaper. He does a fine job proving his point in his intriguing new book. Browne entered his teens after 1970 lurched out of the tumultuous 1960s, and he writes about the music he loved back then. The albums he chose to support his argument: Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Deja Vu,” the Beatles’ “Let It Be” and James Taylor’s “Sweet Baby James.” Like a time capsule, these albums mirrored the social changes happening outside of the studios in which they were made, even as the musicians waged their own wars against one another. In 1970, “two of those groups fell apart, one achieved critical cultural mass and also collapsed, and another broke through to a new level of mass acceptance.” Browne juxtaposes the growing disharmony within CSNY with the turbulent year of Charles Manson’s trial, homegrown terrorist bombings, Nixon’s polarizing presidency and buzzwords like recession and inflation. “Something about ‘Deja vu’ — the sense of frailty in ‘4+20’ and ‘Helpless,’ the addled paranoia of ‘Almost Cut My Hair,’ the urge to escape it all in ‘Our House’ — summed up postKent State America. The dark clouds that hovered over the album, the results of the band’s own personal relationships and emotional tumult, also tapped into something larger and beyond their control.” Some of the Beatles material Browne dutifully revives feels shopworn; plenty has already been written about the Beatles’ breakup. While Browne earns kudos for tracking down the legal court papers Paul McCartney filed on Dec. 31, 1970, to dissolve the foursome, he’s more captivating when he reminds readers of how the unraveling Simon & Garfunkel reflected the mood of 1970. In a year of reflective, tuneful pop standards — “Let It Be,” “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “The Long and Winding Road,” “Your Song,” “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “Big Yellow Taxi” and “Fire and Rain” — none loomed larger than the Grammy-winning Song and Record of the Year “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” While its parent album flew out of college bookstores and served as a balm on a weary nation looking for quiet, homespun music after the ugly Altamont music festival in 1969, its composer quietly taught a songwriting course at New York University. So too did Taylor’s music offer a cushy mattress against the rougher aspect of the times. The second single from his “Sweet Baby James” album, “Fire and Rain,” would take almost the entire year to become a hit, but Taylor’s ascension would soon usher in the confessional, soft rock epoch of the decade’s first half. Taylor’s initially shy, seemingly addled persona in 1970 (probably a result of the hefty amount of heroin he consumed) reflected the confusion of the transitional 1970, Browne writes: “I couldn’t resist revisiting a moment when sweetly sung music and ugly times coexisted, even fed off each other, in a world gone off course.” Browne gives just enough detail on the events plaguing the country, like the Kent State shootings that led to Neil Young’s timely dispatch, “Ohio,” for CSNY, to make his book’s thesis work. He leaves more fleshed-out accounts of U.S. history on Vietnam strategy and the Manson trial outcome to others. “Fire and Rain” works as a history lesson but is foremost a fast-paced music fan’s appreciation of the brilliance of that era’s artists. Perhaps only Paul Simon, 70 this year, remains the most consistently creative; his new album “So Beautiful or So” What rivals his 1970 work. Maybe in a later book Browne can write about how Simon captures his generation’s concerns in 2011 as well as he did 41 years ago. One hopes that that book will prove as potent. But for now, “Fire and Rain’s” astute observations compel.

Appalachian Trail in N.C. runs right through town

BEACH Continued from Page 1F

roundup promotes the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, championed by Leatherman. California beaches rarely make the list — no Laguna, Malibu-Surfrider, Zuma, San Onofre, Windansea and other Southern California beaches made legend by the likes of the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean. Dr. Beach has said that under his criteria, California beaches are too cold and too polluted. Anyone who has put up with health warnings at Doheny State Beach or Santa Monica knows the latter is too true. But the march of time has finally brought California to the top. It’s a rare year when the beach bridesmaid on the list

doesn’t get the top spot the following year. Every now and then, Leatherman will throw a curve and jump a beach a notch. So that means that the No. 2 beach this year, Coronado near San Diego, is a heavy favorite to be the best beach next summer. In the No. 3 slot is Kahanamoku Beach in Waikiki. It will probably get the nod in 2013. I am sure the next two beaches will get even heavier promotion. Most of Dr. Beach’s picks over the years have been state parks or remote sand strands. But Coronado is in front of the Hotel del Coronado and adjacent to the eighth largest city in the U.S. Kahanamoku is the beach in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village. That’s the kind of publicity that makes a marketing department salivate — the “only hotel on the best beach in America.”

middle of civilization,” said innkeeper Pete Nagle, a member of the town’s tourism association and owner the Mountain Magnolia Inn. “Some just blow through and do their laundry and keep on going,” said Nagle. “Some are beat up pretty good,” and most spend at least one night in town. It was sunny and hot in early June when we hit the trail, and we were grateful to take off into the shade of the woods. Deep groves of rhododendrons as tall as trees, gloriously blooming shades of pale pink and white, punctuated the deciduous forest. Songbirds

DAY Continued from Page 1F

“The guy from the movie might not be the brightest bulb, but he does know how to read and write, and he’s gotten a girl to fall in love with him,” Day says with a laugh. “He’s sexier than Charlie from ‘Sunny.’ Charlie has a dirty sexiness to him, and by dirty, I mean covered in filth.” Many of Day’s scenes in “Horrible Bosses” involve Aniston pouncing on him. For some guys, that might sound like a dream job but Day says it wasn’t as easy as it looks. “It’s just awkward,” he explains. “I met Jennifer once at the read-through of the script, and the next day, I’m removing a lot of her clothes. “I was just trying not to embarrass her or myself, say my lines and hit my mark. … She’s very friendly and has an ability to make you feel like you’ve known her your whole life. That helped. So we both laughed at the craziness of our jobs.” A Bronx native who was raised in Rhode Island, Day got hooked on acting in college after realizing he didn’t have the right stuff for a career as a pro baseballer. He spent a number of years in New York and Los Angeles doing theater work and guest spots on TV shows before he grew frustrated with the poor quality of the material coming his way. “Rob and Glenn and I thought that we could do something just as good if not better than what we were reading,” he says. “The motivation behind ‘Sunny’ was to gain some control over what we were doing as actors. And the fact that the show has taken off is just

We saw little wildlife other than squirrels, but the woods were so deep and silent I sometimes felt certain that bears were lurking around each bend. The only other threat I feared were thunderstorms forecast the same day we perhaps foolishly decided to hike a 12-mile stretch that included Max Patch, a 4,629-foot bald peak covered in pasture grass, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, including the Great Smokies in the distance. I just knew my friend’s metal hiking sticks would make us lightning

magnets, but the rain held off until we got back to town. We also saw surprisingly few other hikers. On the first full day, heading north out of Hot Springs, we trekked two hours before encountering other people. They were through-hikers, a married couple from Friendswood, Texas, and we listened rapt as they shared their story. Paul Koll, 62, and his 58-yearold wife, Eva, had been on the trail for almost 300 miles and just over one month since starting April 30 in Georgia. They’d conquered the highest point on the entire trail — Clingman’s Dome in Tennessee’s

Great Smokies, elevation 6,643 feet, and despite countless bug bites and sore feet wrapped in moleskin, Eva, a travel nurse when she’s not hiking, was almost giddy. That lofty dome “was like, lickety split, nothin’,” she said. “I thought it was going to be terrible.” They figured it would take six months to reach Maine. And if they don’t make it before the snow flies, “we’ll come next year and finish,” Eva said cheerfully. “The funny part of it is,” Paul said admiringly, “my wife would get up in the morning after hard day, with a smile on her face, and say, ‘Let’s do it again!”’

Playing a regular on the series has made Day something of an institution in Philly, a town he calls his “home away from home.” He adds, “It’s so funny now because no matter where I go, I have people coming up to me goCharlie Day ing, ‘Hey, I’m from Philly too.’ So I’ve completely lost my identity as a guy who grew up in Rhode few lines in a scene at a high- Island.

icing on the cake.” The series, which revolves largely around the goings-on at Paddy’s Bar in Philadelphia, is shot on a soundstage in Los Angeles. But every summer, the cast travels to the City of Brotherly Love for a couple of weeks of filming. “When we shoot in South Philly, everyone seems to come out on their stoops and watch us work,” Day says. “Everyone seems pretty excited to see us. The fans haven’t turned on us. No snowballs with batteries in them just yet.” Production has wrapped on the show’s seventh season, which will begin airing in September. There’s been talk that upcoming episodes might be darker than previous installments. “I don’t know where that rumor got started,” Day says. “I don’t think the new shows are any darker. I mean, we’re just up to our old bag of tricks, and that always involves looking at dark topics (through) satire.” Episodes will be set at the Jersey Shore and involve an interlude at a children’s beauty pageant. Jason Sudeikis and the members of the Kings of Leon band also will make guest appearances. “We didn’t know what to expect from those guys,” Day says about the notoriously volatile rockers. “We knew they were fans of the show so we gave them a

HOT SPRINGS, N.C. — Slack packers — it’s a nickname that is not affectionately bestowed, but it’s one an old friend and I now proudly wear after a long weekend hiking on the Appalachian Trail in western North Carolina. The 22 miles we covered over 21⁄2 days near Asheville hardly seemed scoff-worthy. With long strenuous climbs through deep woods and sometimes steep, rocky and twisty terrain, in nearly six-hour stretches, stopping only briefly for water or snack breaks, it was exhilarating. We did make one indulgence though, spending both nights in hotel rooms rather than sleeping bags under the stars. Even so, we can still claim to be among the more than 2 million people who experience some part of the trail each year. The most revered are “through-hikers,” trekking the entire 2,181-mile distance nonstop over some four to six months between Georgia and Maine. Hard-core hikers consider those who stick to day hikes, with the night spent in town rather than a tent, slackers. My friend and I — she a marathoner, me an avid exerciser and tennis player, both in our early 50s — beg to differ. For those without the time to spend half a year in the wilderness, day hikes are a great alternative. Our home base was the tiny Blue Ridge mountain town of Hot Springs, near the Tennessee border. It’s a 45-minute drive from Asheville, where our planes — from Chicago and New York — landed minutes apart. Asheville is a lively, artsy mountain city well worth a visit itself. But hiking was our goal, so after picking up our rental car and stopping for a deli-

Most through-hikers start in early spring in the south, at Springer Mountain, Ga., and make their way up to Maine’s Mount Katahdin, though you can do it in either direction.

BUY ME

54 Penn Street I am an older 3 bedroom home with a total upgrade. My rooms are large and airy, with oak floors in the dining room. My kitchen is modern with oak cabinets, ceramic tile backsplash, and a built in table. My laundry room is on the first floor with a powder room. My master bath is ceramic tile with granite vanity and walk in linen closet. I have nice closets, ceiling fans, and my gas furnace works great. My wrap porch is lovely to hang out on, and I have a sweet side yard that is fenced with flowering bushes and hedges for privacy. My full attic has wood flooring, my walls have been repainted and some have crown molding. I still have my original stained glass front window. My neighbors are Wyoming Valley Mall, Home Depot, and Holy Savior Church. My owner needs to move to a smaller house, so I am priced below market. I am pretty and clean and ready to move into. Call my owner and set up a time to take a look at me. $79,800 570-970-8065 email aleta59@msn.com
