3 killed in Plymouth shooting
Another hurt in apartment gunfire By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com
SERENA WINS 5TH WIMBLEDON
PLYMOUTH – Three people were killed and a fourth person was wounded in a shooting Saturday night inside an apartment building at First and Orchard streets in Plymouth. Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said two males and one female were dead, while the wounded victim was
male. He was taken to an area hospital. The D.A. would not release their identities. Investigators do not believe the shootings, which occurred at about 7:30 p.m., were connected to another shooting Friday on Jay Street in Wilkes-Barre. “There’s nothing that says it may be related,” Salavantis said. In the Wilkes-Barre shooting, Kenyatta Hughston, 22, was shot
twice in the head Friday afternoon. He remains hospitalized, according to Salavantis. A spokeswoman at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township said on Saturday she could not release information on Hughston’s condition. In Plymouth, police closed off the streets near the apartment See SHOOTING, Page 2A

On the surface, Luzerne County’s new home rule government doesn’t seem very different from the system it replaced six months ago. An appointed manager and part-time, 11-member council replaced the three elected commissioners, but most of the decisions they’ve made to date haven’t perceptibly altered the structure of county government. The county offers the same services. The majority of workers are in the same jobs. Employees are temporarily handling the duties of most elected row officers eliminated by home rule. Council Chairman Jim Bobeck said much of the first half of the year was devoted to the tedious but important crafting of codes and procedures outlining how the new government will operate. “When you change a form of government in place hundreds of years, it doesn’t stop on a dime,” Bobeck said. “The first six months have been dedicated to implementing the vision of the new government, and the next six months as well as the next year will be a continuation of that.” County Manager Robert Lawton, who started work Feb. 29, said he wanted to assess operations and personnel and get his arms around county finances before instituting major changes. He’s engrossed in preparing a comprehensive mid-year financial report and developing corrective plans so the county doesn’t end the year with a deficit. Lawton said he held off on selecting eight division heads designated in the charter because the positions weren’t budgeted but said he plans to take action on the appointments soon.

18-ft. great white attacks a kayak Attack, which happened Saturday morning, rare for area of California coast. BY SHANNA MCCORD Santa Cruz Sentinel
PLEASURE POINT, Calif. — A great white shark, estimated to be up to 18 feet long, sheared through the front end of a kayak floating about a quarter-mile from the popular Eastside surf spot known as Pleasure Point in Monterey Bay near Santa Cruz, Calif., authorities said. The attack, which happened about 8:30 a.m. Saturday, is a rare occurrence for the area, as no one has reported a shark bite in several decades in the waters around Santa Cruz County, according to Sean Van Sommeran of the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation. On Saturday, a 52-year-old Fremont, Calif., man was fishing from his 13.5-foot kayak when he felt the shark bump up against the back of the boat. Within seconds, the shark lifted up the kayak and attacked the front, sheriff’s deputies said. The man, thrown from the kayak, was unharmed. He was plucked from the ocean by a boater nearby who had witnessed the incident. The man was fishing with two friends in about 40 feet of water just outside a kelp bed when the attack occurred. The man’s friends, in separate kayaks, were not injured. The shark’s teeth sliced through the thick shell of the yellow kayak, and investigators extracted tooth fragments from the
bite marks. Van Sommeran was called to inspect the bite, and he immediately confirmed it was the work of a great white — the world’s largest predatory shark. "Those teeth can go right through bones and saw apart seals," Van Sommeran said. "They’re designed to dismantle sea animals. They rarely bite humans." While shark attacks in the Monterey Bay are rare, shark sightings are common. It’s not unusual to hear of sharks being spotted near Seacliff and La Selva beaches, Van Sommeran said. A great white was reportedly seen near Marina two weeks ago, he said. The only shark bite Van Sommeran could recall in Santa Cruz County was in1960, when a woman was badly bitten near Sand Dollar Beach between La Selva and Watsonville. Sharks are known to cruise the California coast between October and January, feeding off seals and other sea life before heading farther out to sea for the winter. Capitola, Calif., police issued a text message alert on Saturday to warn surfers and beachgoers about the attack and advise caution when playing near the ocean. "Enter at your own risk," the message read. Surfers and beachgoers appeared undaunted by news of the attack. The head-high waves churning on Saturday brought large numbers out to enjoy the swell.
Ringo Starr celebrates his 72nd birthday with peace By CAITLIN R. KING Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The 1960s mop top is gone, but Ringo Starr is still flashing a peace sign. The former Beatle marked his 72nd birthday in Nashville Saturday by holding a “peace and love” moment at noon. He asked people worldwide to do the same at 12 o’clock in their time zones. The idea came to him in 2008 when an interviewer asked him what he wanted for his birthday. Since then, he has held events each year in cities such as New York, Chicago and Hamburg, Germany. “It’s sort of catching on more and more, the more we do,” Starr said before the festivities. “We got lots of blogs from Japan and China and all over the world saying, ‘We did peace and love.’ So it’s working.” Hundreds of fans joined Starr at Hard Rock Café, shouting “peace and love” at the magic hour and holding two fingers in the air. The crowd sang “happy birthday” and the chorus of “Give Peace A Chance.” One fan held up a sign

building and went door to door interviewing residents in the area. A witness who asked not to be identified said he heard approximately three gunshots and went to the second-floor apartment, where he looked through a partially opened door and saw a man lying on the floor “unresponsive.” The witness also said he saw two men walking away from the building. He yelled to a neighbor to call 911, he said. Donna Urban was driving in
declaring the last time she saw Starr in person. He pointed to her and joked, “I hugged this woman in 1964, and she still can’t get over it.” Organizers presented him with a star magnolia tree that will be planted nearby. He also cut a cake shaped like a flower pot with a giant sunflower growing out of it. Party favors included frosted cookies and white, “peace and love” rubber bracelets. Starr’s family and friends showed up, including country singer Vince Gill and Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh. Walsh played in the 72-year-old’s first All Starr Band in 1989, which features a rotation of celebrity musicians. Now they’re related. Walsh married Marjorie Bach, who is the sister of Starr’s wife, Barbara Bach. “He is my brother-in-law, so it’s kind of family business. I’ve been to the last couple, and I didn’t want to miss this one,” he said. “I think a peace and love moment would be good for the entire planet.” Starr is touring the U.S. with his 13th All Starr Band and was set to perform at the Ryman Auditorium Saturday night. the area when police cars passed her on Shawnee Avenue. Urban said she followed the police to the apartment building and parked in front of an ambulance. She said she saw a while male bleeding from the head carried out on a stretcher and placed into the ambulance. “He didn’t look too good,” she said. Police from multiple departments and state police were meeting at the Plymouth borough building coordinating the investigation Saturday night. Officials were expected to issue a statement late Saturday night but had not done so by press time.

Business of fun Comic Con extravaganza now a marketer’s dream By SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — Football fans have the Super Bowl. Soccer enthusiasts have the World Cup. Cinephiles have the Academy Awards. For pop-culture lovers — the self-professed geeks and nerds who delight in fantasy-inspired fun from anime to zombies — there is Comic-Con, the Olympic-sized celebration of movies, TV, video games, costumes and pop art that began as a humble comic-book convention 43 years ago and is now an annual marketing extravaganza. From Thursday to Sunday, more than 100,000 pop-culture aficionados will flood the San Diego Convention Center, showing off their Storm Trooper suits, playing yet-to-be-released video games and attending panels featuring A-list filmmakers like Peter Jackson and such hot TV shows as “Game of Thrones.” But first comes Wednesday’s “preview night.” Available only to those who bought four-day passes to the sold-out convention, the showing is decidedly low tech, yet high end: it’s all about collectible toys. On display will be special-issue, limited-edition playthings and books made just for the popculture fest. These include not only the unique freebies that various booths are giving away, but also coveted collectibles that could fetch hundreds of dollars at Comic-Con and hundreds more in after-market sales.
“There are people who buy tickets for every day of the show so that on Wednesday night they can be the first in line for these exclusive collectibles. That’s their reward for going to a destination like Comic-Con,” said pop-culture expert and host of G4’s “Attack of the Show” Blair Butler. “There are also people who flip that stuff on eBay for hundreds of dollars. They buy two: One to keep and one to sell on eBay.” Collectors will literally run across the massive convention center floor when the doors open Wednesday evening to cue up for products like Hasbro’s S.H.I.E.L.D. Super Helicarrier, a four-foot-long replica of the flying superhero headquarters from the “Avengers” movie and Mattel’s quirky Dana as Zuul “Ghostbusters” figurine. Others seek out small-run exclusives such as the golden Domo bobble-head doll (only 1,000 made) and Image Comics’ special hardcover comics collection “The Walking Dead: Compendium One” (only 900 available). Toy companies and publishers large and small make special products just for the Comic-Con crowd. Hasbro and Mattel each issue around 10 Comic-Con exclusives a year. These toys are introduced at Comic-Con and limited numbers are often made available for sale later at Toys “R” Us and on each company’s collector websites. “Everything is made in limited quantities. Products can double, triple, quadruple in price

over the course of a year,” said Hugo Stevenson, president of Huckleberry Toys, which is offering zombies and other figurines based on the upcoming film “ParaNorman.” “There’s a whole group of people who actually make a business out of this: Going down and buying collectibles at San Diego ComicCon and then selling them in their stores or on eBay.” For most collectors, though, adding exclusive items to a carefully cultivated collection is priceless. “No collector is going to sell their collection,” said Scott Neitlich, a marketing manager at Mattel whose personal toy cache includes “roughly 5,000” figures. “It’s not just about the physical price of the product, but the emotional connection each collector has about what figures they’ve decided to include.” Most toy collectors are men ages 25 to 40, he said, though women are getting into the hobby in growing numbers. Mattel is aiming its limited DC Comics Vertigo Death statuette and Polly Pocket DC Comics Villains set at female collectors. Hasbro hopes to tap the market with a special-edition My Little Pony: a gray Pegasus with blonde hair. “It’s people who grew up in the ‘70s and ‘80s who now have disposable income to recapture their youth,” Neitlich said“Comic-Con has become the place, really the only place, where you can go to get these limited-edition, first-edition products,” said Rich Collins, chief of Big Tent Entertainment, which makes toys and products for Domo, Dark Horse Comics and other brands.
Justin Bieber gets citation for speeding Pop singer gets ticket for speeding on Los Angeles freeway after being chased. By SHAYA TAYEFE MOHAJER Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Heartthrob singer Justin Bieber has been ticketed for speeding on a Los Angeles freeway after being chased by at least one other vehicle, authorities said. The 18-year-old “Boyfriend” and “Baby” crooner was cited for driving in excess of 65 mph at about10:45 a.m. on Friday morning, after calls came in complaining of a freeway chase on southbound U.S. Highway 101 near Studio City, said Officer Ming Hsu of the California Highway Patrol. Bieber told officers he was being chased by paparazzi, Hsu said. “The second vehicle left the area and there’s a search to find that driver,” Hsu said. Hsu did not have a description of the other vehicle. A call and an email to Bieber’s
publicist weren’t immediately returned. The claim of a chase is backed by eyewitness Los Angeles City Bieber Councilman Dennis Zine, who called authorities after seeing Bieber’s distinctive chrome Fisker Karma being chased by five or six other cars. On his morning commute to City Hall, Zine said he saw Bieber’s sports car drive up behind him and zoom around him, weaving wildly in and out of traffic while five or six other cars gave chase. Zine, who spent 33 years as an officer for the LAPD, estimated the chase exceeded 100 mph as paparazzi engaged in wild maneuvers to keep up with Bieber, including driving on the shoulder and cutting off other vehicles. Zine said Bieber was breaking the law by driving recklessly and speeding, and the paparazzi were breaking the law by hound-

ing him. “This was very bizarre, very outrageous and showed a total disregard for life and property,” Zine said. Zine, a witness to countless crashes and fatalities during his time as an officer, said he was surprised no one crashed. “The way (Bieber) was driving was totally reckless, I would have arrested him if I had pulled him over,” said Zine. “I wouldn’t have given him a ticket and let him go.” Friday’s incident isn’t the only time the floppy-haired singer has had conflict with paparazzi. In May, a photographer called authorities, complaining he was roughed up by the pop star in a shopping center, The Commons at Calabasas. Authorities said the scuffle happened when a photographer tried to snap photos of Bieber and his girlfriend, teen actress Selena Gomez. In April 2011, Bieber called off a meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, saying he didn’t want to face the country’s paparazzi.

Edwardsville firefighter hurt at blaze Capt. Ray Shinko is hospitalized for observation after the electrical mishap. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com
EDWARDSVILLE – A firefighter was injured battling a blaze at a Main Street business early Saturday morning. Capt. Ray Shinko of the Edwardsville Fire Department was knocked to the ground after touching an electrified chainlink fence while fighting the fire at LocalOffice, a computer service and sales company at 663 Main St., according to Fire Chief Ray King. A section of the building’s metal-sided walls peeled away, carrying an electric current into
the fence. The chief said the fire started apparently near an electrical service box at the rear of the business, which is housed on the first floor of the two-story building. Shinko was not knocked unconscious by the shock but was hospitalized overnight for observation, King said. According to King, the fire was first reported at 3:34 a.m. by Edwardsville Police Officer John Fronzoni, who noticed it while driving by on patrol. Firefighters arriving on scene found the building “fully charged” with flames concentrated along the rear wall of the building, King said.

Vietnam re-creators set
Visitors will be transported to 1968 Vietnam as they experience patrol demonstrations and camp tours on July 21-22, during the Fifth Annual VIETNAM Revisited Combat Bivouac Living History Weekend held on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg, Centre County. First Cavalry re-enactors from the Greater Pennsylvania Military Preservation Association out of Altoona, museum staff, and volunteers camp out on the grounds providing a glimpse into the recent past. The event is held intentionally in July as the intense heat and humidity were “trademark elements for every person who served in Vietnam,” says museum educator Joe Horvath. In addition to the weather, the lush undergrowth and thick tree canopy surrounding Spring Creek beside the museum further represents an element of the Central Highland jungle that soldiers fought in. Greeted by a sign that reads “Welcome to the Republic of Vietnam,” on which veterans are encouraged to write their name, rank, and dates of service, visitors will experience a time-capsule presentation of a unit in the field of war. Visitors will be invited to go out on a short range recon patrol with a point-man. Long trousers and good shoes are strongly encouraged. During a 2 p.m. tactical demonstration each day, the audience can expect to hear gunfire as well as communication relays between the firebase and squad leader over authentic field radios. New to the event this year is Doug Irwin, a local folk guitarist who will entertain the troops and public. Irwin served for real in the 82nd Airborne Division with the 1/505th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Although a veteran, he will be dressed as a green recruit set to perform at 1 PM on Saturday following recordings of the Armed Forces Radio Network on the camp intercom. Doug said he will "be playing some songs from the era, to stay within the appropriate time frame, and a few originals that focus on soldiers and veterans of that time as well." The bivouac opens to the public at 10 a.m. each day. Patrol ambush demonstrations are scheduled for 2 p.m.. The Pennsylvania Military Museum and 28th Infantry Division Shrine is administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and located on South Atherton Street (Business Route 322) in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania - 3 miles east of State College and the Pennsylvania State University. For more information on the museum please call 814-466-6263 or visitwww.pamilmuseum.org.
W-B City Council member Tony George is not sure about a $650,000 contract. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – City council will again be asked to vote this week on a resolution to award a $650,000 contract to Schneider Electric as a sole source provider for 62 surveillance cameras at the Intermodal Transporta- W H A T ’ S tion Center. N E X T ? But the issue is far Wilkes-Barre City from being Council meets in work session resolved. Tuesday at 6 p.m. Council and in regular pulled the session Thursday item from at 6 p.m. Public itsagendain comment is alJune be- lowed only at the regular meeting. cause council members Tony George and Maureen Lavelle questioned the lack of paperwork explaining what the city was purchasing. Only four of the five council members were present in June – George Brown was absent. George said he intends to ask that the item be pulled again from the agenda because he has several unanswered questions. At the June council meeting, city Administrator Marie McCormick said the purchase would be a “sole source procurement,” noting that Schneider is the only vendor available to provide the cameras and install them to tie into the existing camera system. George said he wanted to see more information about the contract. “What are we paying $650,000 for?” George asked at the meeting. Responding to questions from the public as to why the contract wasn’t publicly advertised, the city said it didn’t solicit bids for the work for a couple of reasons. McCormick and Lou Lau, the city’s director of information technology, said the new cameras must be integrated with the existing surveillance system and Schneider is the only company able to provide that service. Schneider installed the existing camera system in the city in 2009. The company was then known as TAC. J.R. Roberts, owner of J.R. Roberts Security Strategies of Savannah, Ga., said last week that if the contract were bid, the city would have received a minimum of four to five responses – maybe more.

Witness to the blues Rory Block is link to earliest days By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com
NESCOPECK TWP. – The roots of American blues twanged and cried through the air in Nescopeck Township Saturday, as Rory Block performed at the Brigg’s Farm Blues Festival.

I F YO U G O WHAT: The Wyoming Farmers Market WHERE: Butler Street Park, corner of Butler Street and 8th Street WHEN: Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com
WYOMING – The Wyoming Farmers Market got off to a slow start Saturday, but patrons said they didn’t mind; they like having a produce market in their neighborhood. “I love coming here,” said Terri Malast of West Wyoming. “This makes it really convenient. Wilkes-Barre’s kind of a pain, because when you go there it’s hard to find parking, or you have to pay for parking.” “This is nice; I can walk up here and walk home,” said Carol Coutant, who lives just down the street from market in Butler Street Park at the cor-
ner of Butler Street and 8th Street. Coutant said she also avoids Wilkes-Barre’s Farmers Market because of the difficulty of finding parking. “I’ve been to the one at the Arena because they have parking,” she said. “But that doesn’t really have much more than this here. They have more stands but it’s the same thing. I would say the variety here is just as good as the one up there.” That variety came exclusively from Marty O’Malia Farms of Plains Township, the only

Runners, in traditional white clothing and red kerchiefs around their necks, tripped over each other or fell in the mad daredevil annual rush along early morning dew-moistened slippery streets to the city’s bull ring. One youth got the top of his shirt and kerchief caught on a bull’s horn, inches from his face, and was dragged several yards (meters) along the ground, but was seen to get up and run away. CAIRO
Leader to visit Saudi Arabia Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi will travel to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday on his first official trip abroad since being sworn in, a move suggesting the Islamist leader wants to reassure the kingdom that strong relations are a priority. Some Saudi officials are believed to have supported Morsi’s former electoral rival, a former prime minister and ex-military general, in hopes of continuing the warm relationship once shared with Egypt’s ousted leader Hosni Mubarak. Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah invited Morsi “to strengthen relations.” LOS ANGELES
Cat parasite-suicide link A wily parasite well known for influencing the behavior of its animal hosts appears to play a troubling role in humans, increasing the risk of suicide among women who are infected, new research shows. Researchers estimate that T. gondii is carried by 10 percent to 20 percent of Americans, who can get it by changing litter used by infected cats or eating undercooked meat from an animal carrying the bug. Despite its prevalence in humans, the protozoan is most famous for the strange effect it has on the brains of rats and mice. When a rat or a mouse is infected, it suddenly flips from being petrified of cats to being attracted to them. The parasite has been linked to an increased risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in humans. A new study confirms the link by examining infection rates and suicide attempts in thousands of women in Denmark.

Libyans go to the polls By MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press
TRIPOLI, Libya — Jubilant Libyans chose a new parliament Saturday in their first nationwide vote in decades, but violence and protests in the restive east underscored the challenges ahead as the oilrich North African nation struggles to restore stability after the ouster of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi. One person was killed and two wounded in a gunbattle between security forces and anti-election protesters in the eastern city of Ajdabiya, according to the head of the election commission. Nouri al-Abari said the polling center targeted by the protesters was later reopened and voting commenced normally. The shooting followed a spate of attacks on polling centers in the eastern half of the country, which was the cradle of the revolution against Gadhafi but has become increasingly angry over the perceived domination of power by rivals in Tripoli. The vote capped a chaotic transition that has exposed major fault lines rang-
ing from the east-west divide to efforts by Islamists to assert power. Lines formed outside polling centers more than an hour before they opened in the capital Tripoli, with policemen and soldiers standing guard and searching voters and election workers before they entered. “I have a strange but beautiful feeling today,” dentist Adam Thabet said as he waited his turn to cast a ballot. “We are free at last after years of fear. We knew this day would come, but we were afraid it would take a lot longer.” The election for a 200-seat parliament, which will be tasked with forming a new government, was a key milestone after a bitter civil war that ended Gadhafi’s fourdecade rule. It was the first time Libyans have voted for a parliament since 1964, five years before Gadhafi’s military coup that toppled the monarchy. But the desert nation of 6 million people has fallen into turmoil since Gadhafi was killed by rebel forces in his home city of Sirte in late October. Armed militias operate independently, refusing to be

brought under the umbrella of a national army, and deepening regional and tribal divisions erupt into violence with alarming frequency. Growing resentment in the east and the inability to rein in unruly militias have threatened to tear the country apart. Some easterners boyAdam Thabet Dentist and cotted the election and voter protesters torched ballot boxes in 14 out of 19 polling centers in Ajdabiya, said Ibrahim Fayed, a former rebel commander in the area. Gunmen shot down a helicopter carrying polling materials near the eastern city of Benghazi, birthplace of last year’s revolution, killing one election worker on board, said a spokesman for the ruling National Transitional Council.
103 dead from flooding in Russia
A battle over real time: War re-enactment gets tweeted
Many people asleep when flooding hit overnight after nearly foot of rain fell.

MOSCOW — Intense flooding in the Black Sea region of southern Russia killed 103 people after torrential rains dropped nearly a foot of water, forcing many to scramble out of their beds for refuge in trees and on roofs, officials said Saturday. Many people were asleep when the flooding hit overnight in the Krasnodar region, and the water rushed into the area around the hard-hit town of Krimsk with such speed and volume that rumors emerged that local officials had opened a nearby water reservoir. Muddy water coursed through streets and homes, in some cases high enough to flow over

the hoods of cars and even as high as rooftops, according to witnesses. About 5,000 residences were flooded, the Krasnodar governor was quoted as telling the Interfax news agency. The Interior Ministry gave the death toll as 103 on Saturday evening, according to Rus-
sian news agencies; a regional ministry spokesman said earlier that at least 67 of the deaths were around Krimsk, about 750 miles south of Moscow. Five people were electrocuted in the Black Sea coastal city of Gelendzhik after a transformer fell into the water, state news agency RIA Novosti said.
GETTYSBURG — This year’s re-enactment of the Battle of Gettysburg is to feature breaking news coverage of one of the pivotal engagements — 140 characters at a time. Four tweeters recruited from two local newspapers planned to deliver minute-by-minute coverage of Saturday’s re-enactment of the fighting at Devil’s Den as part of the 149th anniversary event at the battlefield. “We thought it would enhance people’s understanding of what happened there,” organizer Marc Charisse, editor of the Hanover Evening Sun, told The Philadelphia Inquirer. He said one reporter would file from the Confeder-
ate side and another from the Union lines, while York Daily Record editor James McClure gave a “big picture” overview of the battle and he himself provided color commentary. The annual event, which has attracted thousands to Gettysburg for decades, isn’t fought on the actual 1863 battlefield but on a farm about seven miles away, and often not on the actual battle dates of July1-3. And then there’s the play-by-play from an announcer. Still, Twitter adds a new dimension of social media and instant communication for about 2,000 re-enactors, who take great pains to achieve authenticity in their portrayal of 19th century warfare. But some historians say they don’t mind adding social media to the mix, especially if it helps bring one of the nation’s most famous battles to life for a new generation.

Carson Dean Cheney was with his family in the resort town of Park City on Thursday evening when the headstone toppled onto him after some metal connecting it to its pedestal broke, the boy’s grandmother Geri Gibbs told The Associated Press.

KABUL, Afghanistan — The U.S. designation Saturday of Afghanistan as its newest “major non-NATO ally” amounts to a political statement of support for the country’s long-term stability and solidifies close defense cooperation after American combat troops withdraw in 2014. “We see this as a powerful commitment to Afghanistan’s future,” U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said at a news conference during a brief stop in the Afghan capital. “We are not even imagining abandoning Afghanistan,” she said in the grand courtyard of the presidential palace after talks with President Hamid Karzai. From Kabul, she and Karzai headed separately to Japan for an international conference on Afghan civilian assistance. Donors planned to pledge $16 billion over four years, with the U.S. share not immediately clear, according to a U.S. diplomatic official speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of the official announcement Sunday. The non-NATO ally declaration allows for streamlined defense cooperation, including expedited purchasing ability of American equipment and easier export control regulations. Afghanistan’s military, heavily dependent on American and foreign assistance, already enjoys many of these benefits. The non-NATO ally status guarantees it will continue to do so. Afghanistan is the 15th such country to receive the designation. Others include Australia, Egypt, Israel and Japan. Afghanistan’s neighbor Pakistan was the last nation to gain the status, in 2004. Clinton said progress was coming incrementally but consistently to Afghanistan after decades of conflict. “The security situation is more stable,” she said.

Hill climb fans to get better view
Dirt mounds and brush have been removed from an area popular with spectators. By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com
LAUREL RUN – The course on the Giants Despair Hill Climb hasn’t changed, but a section near the bottom has been cleared and leveled for better access and viewing of the event next weekend. Gone are the dirt mounds and brush along a quarter-mile stretch of East Northampton Street near the starting line. “Actually we did it for the spectators,” said Darryl Danko, a competitor and coordinator of the Sports Car Club of America time trial. Thousands are expected to turn out for the 106th hill climb, the longest running one in the United States, that serves as the major fundraiser for the borough’s fire department. “It wasn’t too fan friendly,” acknowledged Danko of the former condition of the borough-owned land. A 10- to 12-foot high mound used to stand on the spot where he and John D. Mosley Jr. stood across from the Dickerson Street

He said proprietary sourcing could be a valid reason for not bidding the contract and contractors sometimes develop a delivery stream or technology system that’s not compatible with other systems, precluding other companies from being able to participate in the competitive bid process. But, Roberts said, if the work is not bid and no specifications are advertised, other companies are excluded from the process. He said without a competitive bidding process, the city can’t determine if it could have saved any money. George wants to see warranty George said he met with members of the administration staff last week and he was told the city would lose its warranty on the existing system if another vendor was chosen to do the Intermodal work. George said he will ask to see the warranty. George did not say if the warranty for the original system was still in effect. George said he met with Mayor Tom Leighton, Drew McLaughlin, administrative coordinator, Greg Barrouk, economic development director, and Tim Henry, city attorney. “They told me if we use any of those other vendors, we will lose our warranty,” George said. “They said it’s Schneider’s network and infrastructure.” George said he is still researching the matter and he doesn’t know if he will be ready to vote on the contract on Thursday. Questions remain J.R. Roberts said Saturday that warranties are usually one to three years max, after which a service agreement would be put in place. Roberts said if the city advertised the Intermodal work it would at least be able to verify if it’s getting the best possible price from Schneider. By not advertising the project, Roberts said there is no system of checks and balances. So the question to be asked is: why wouldn’t the city want to be assured it is getting the best price for the 62 cameras for the Intermodal? Roberts said $650,000 for the installation and integration of 62 cameras seems “highly expensive.” “It seems like there is a cozy relationship somewhere,” he said.

entrance to Laurel Run Estate Mobile Home Park. The ground behind the mound was covered with picker bushes, weeds and sumac trees. “You couldn’t see the road,” said Mosley, Laurel Run borough fire chief. About a month ago, the borough, its fire department and Al Bonk started work on the project. Bonk donated his time and equipment, said Danko. There’s more room to walk along the southbound lane in which the drivers race and the ground has been graded making it suitable for people to set up chairs and tents. The borough has plans for the land where people used to live until Luzerne County bought their properties due to a mine fire underground. About seven or eight years ago the county turned over the land to the borough, Mosley said. “The only thing that it could be
used for is recreation,” he said. But for now the focus is on the hill climb. “We should have at least 80 entrants,” said Danko. It’s capped at 100, he added.
Danko has his sights on winning a seventh title, making him king of the hill climb winding around five turns, including the 110-degree hairpin named the Devil’s Elbow.
use the business because of the losses it sustained in the September flood. “The timing was very bad,” she said. “We hadn’t picked any of our fall crops. We lost our pumpkins; our canning tomatoes. That’s peak season for us. So we want people to come over here and support us and hopefully the market will continue to grow.” In addition to O’Malia’s stand, food vendors offered potato pan-
cakes and lemonade in the shade of the park’s many trees. Gloria Kolbeck of Popcorn Etc., a Tunkhannock-based gourmet popcorn vendor, said the store’s stand at the market will help the business break into a different market. “It seems like it’s going to be a real nice thing to do over the next couple of weeks,” she said. “We’re doing real well. I’m glad we decided to do this.”
Pittston resident Jacqueline Troy rounded out the market’s vendors, selling quilted handbags she made herself. “I heard last year it was pretty busy; that’s why I decided to try it out,” Troy said.
“It all sounds rather troubling. It just doesn’t sound right to me.” Roberts said the surveillance camera business has become highly competitive in recent years, actually driving down the costs of cameras and other equipment. “If the city asked Schneider to provide specifications, then the work could have been advertised,” he said. “Then, and only then, would the city know for sure that it’s getting a good deal.”
want DVTel cameras, we require that company to be certified.” At that point, McHugh said a new SSA would go in place, with the new company. “And if they want their previous cameras/systems to be under warranty, they need to discuss that with the new company as well,” she said. Schneider, formerly known as TAC of Dallas, Texas, was selected in 2009 by the Hawkeye Security Systems board to design, install and maintain the city’s $2 million 150-digital camera surveillance system. There were 13 proposals received before TAC was chosen. McCormick said the contract with Schneider would be done in two phases – each costing $325,000. The funding for the project is provided by state gaming funds and Federal Transit Agency funds – $325,000 from each source, McCormick said.
DVTel responds; city’s choice Cathy McHugh, director of global marketing at DVTel, said other companies can install their products. “We work with integrators,” McHugh said. “And we sell our products to more than one integrator.” McHugh said the companies they sell to must be certified to assure DVTel that their cameras and equipment are installed properly. Schneider is one of those certified companies, McHugh said. “There are others – Valued Added Retailers – who are certified as well,” she said. McHugh said the work could be put out for bid, but the city would need to be very clear about what was needed and provide all details about the system that is already in place. “It would be the city’s choice,” she said, regarding advertising the project. McHugh said if the city would choose to switch companies, DVTel requires an authorized change request form advising them that they have done so in order to support them in the future. She said service and support agreements are typically a oneyear term and different companies (VARs) can sell them different ways – by month, by channel, annually, etc. “I am not sure of the city’s arrangement for its warranty with Schneider – when the period ends, how it is paid, et cetera,” she said. McHugh said DVTel works with a range of integrators/installers worldwide. She said “certified” means they are trained on DVTel systems and certified to install and support them. “In short, if the city changes installers, DVTel needs a written consent form from the city that they want to change their integrator of record,” McHugh said. “If the city decides to buy their future cameras/upgrades, et cetera, from another company and they

LOS ANGELES - Some scientists have likened it to voodoo, while Albert Einstein called it just plain "spooky." In the bizarre realm of quantum mechanics, entanglement is the phenomenon in which two seemingly distinct particles control each other in ways that defy common physical sense. For instance, when an atom located in Beijing is measured by an observer, it will exhibit the exact opposite qualities of its entangled counterpart in Boston. In the 1930s, the idea of entanglement seemed so absurd that Einstein derided it as "spooky action at a distance" and argued that it revealed serious shortcomings in quantum theory. Today, however, entanglement stands as the essential feature of quantum mechanics, and scientists say its exploitation could lead to extraordinary leaps in computing, communications and cryptology. A quantum computer, they say, would take seconds to solve problems that today’s PCs would take billions of years to parse. Governments, financial institutions and armies, meanwhile, are intrigued by the potential for se-
cure long-distance communications that would instantly reveal attempts at hacking. Those technologies may still be sometime in the future, but researchers in Germany have taken a step closer to their realization. In a report Friday in the journal Science, physicists at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich said they had demonstrated that two atoms separated by a distance of about 65 feet could become entangled and trigger an alert to announce that they had done so. To visualize the phenomenon, imagine two boxes that each contain a single coin, said study co-author Wenjamin Rosenfeld. In quantum mechanics, neither coin has a defined orientation - heads or tails - until an observer opens one of the boxes and sees which side is facing up. At that instant, the second coin will be found, without fail, to be lying in the exact opposite position, no matter how far away it is. While other experiments have successfully entangled atoms, photons and diamond crystals, this was the first to do so at a long distance and include a signal, or herald, to let scientists know that entanglement had been achieved. Such a signal - in this case, a message on a computer screen - is crucial to the further study of entanglement and its future practical application, researchers said.

HARGILL, Texas — A father and two sons shot at a federal immigration agent parked outside their home along the Texas border this week because they were afraid someone was going to break in, a relative told a newspaper. U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agent Kelton Harrison was shot in the back early Tuesday, when prosecutors say Pedro Alvarez and his sons, ages 18 and 16, fired at Harrison’s vehicle and chased the agent as he sped away. Prosecutors say Harrison had been watching for an anticipated drug deal. His condition is improving. Amparo Ramirez, the family matriarch, told the San Antonio Express-News (http://bit.ly/ PnQNxI) in a story published Saturday that Harrison was parked on the next-door property and that no attempt was made to notify home owners of surveillance activity. “They thought it was somebody breaking in,” Ramirez said. “The ICE didn’t identify itself. The kids explained what they did.” Alvarez, 41, and his 18-year-old son, Arnoldo Alvarez, are charged with assault of a federal officer and knowingly using and carrying a firearm during a violent crime. His younger son has been charged with attempted capital murder in a state district court. A criminal complaint alleges that the 16-year-old, whose identity is being withheld because of his age, fired about six shots from a .22 caliber rifle and that Arnoldo Alvarado fired “numerous” shots from a 9mm handgun as they rode in a vehicle being driven by their father. The vehicle had its headlights off in the predawn darkness as it drove by Harrison, according to the complaint.

flaxen hair, Block hardly looks the part of the traditional blues musician, but she said her style grew out of her upbringing in Greenwich Village, “a setting where there was a lot of very raw acoustic roots music all around.” Her father, who ran a sandal shop in the New York City neighborhood during the 1960s, was friends with Pete Seeger, and John Sebastian of The Lovin’ Spoonful lived nearby. At 15, she left home to seek out and study under some of the living masters of the blues. Now 62 and a master in her own right, Block has devoted herself to recording tribute albums to the artists she studied under.

ration,” Block said. “It’s a sort of a thank you to the unbelievable players that I got to meet in person.” Block shared personal memo-
ries of some of the masters she met during her set. Block described Son House as a preacher who sometimes had trouble expressing to others his love of the blues at a time when it was still considered the devil’s music. “He taught me that blues and Gospel are really married,” she said. Those artists represent a generation that is rapidly disappearing; 2011 saw the deaths of legends Pinetop Perkins and Honeyboy Edwards (who headlined the 2010 Briggs Farm Blues Festival.) Block said keeping their work alive and relevant has become her life’s work. “To meet some of the original players and some of the innovators is just a spectacular thing,” Block said. “And when they are part of ages and they’re gone, it leaves us with a terrible sense of loss, but it leaves us with a tremendous desire to keep the tradition going.” Block has also recorded and
Seeking relief from the unbearable heat Temperatures of more than 100 degrees bake parts of the East Coast and Midwest. By RON TODT Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Highways buckled across the country, the waters of Lake Michigan were unusually warm for this time of year and even a minor train derailment outside Washington was blamed on heat as the hot weather gripping much of the country only worsened Saturday. Temperatures of more than 100 degrees were forecast in Philadelphia and excessive heat warnings were issued for several states in the Midwest as the days of smothering heat piled on, accompanied by severe storms that have knocked out power in spots from Michigan to the East Coast. Most notable was last weekend’s sudden and severe storm that drenched the mid-Atlantic region, where thousands remained without electricity a week later. At least 24 deaths have been blamed on the heat and several others on the weather or a combination of the two. Hundreds of thousands remained without power Saturday, mostly in West Virginia, Ohio and Michigan. At New York City’s Penn Station, the air conditioning was falling short of full capacity. Amtrak officials have said for weeks that they’ve been trying to adjust it. The doors were left wide open at a half dozen locations around the two-block-wide underground station. “It’s so hot I feel like I want to faint,” said Betty De la Rosa, 19, of the Bronx, who was working at a station doughnut shop. Record temperatures were set in several places, including Indianapolis, Washington and Milwaukee. In central Arkansas, Russellville reached 106 degrees Friday, breaking a record set in 1964. The heat was also blamed for at least 24 deaths.
542
Nine people in Maryland have died of heat-related causes in recent days, the state said. Authorities in Chicago said heat was a factor in six deaths there, mostly among older people. Three deaths in Wisconsin, two in Tennessee and one in Pennsylvania were also reported to be heat-related. In Ohio, a man in his 70s and two women — one in her late 60s, the other in her 80s — were found dead this week, said Dr. Jeff Lee, a deputy county coroner in the central part of the state. He said all three were suffering from heart disease but died from stress caused by high temperatures in their houses. Temperatures inside were stifling, recorded in the 90s in two cases, with windows shut and no ventilation. The houses lacked electricity because of recent power outages. “If they had gotten cooling, we would have expected them to survive,” he said. Relief was on the way in the form of a cold front as the weekend ends, but forecasters expected it to bring more severe weather, too.

The high temperature was recorded at 11:46 a.m. at the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton International Airport. The low for the day was 68 and that occurred at 5:06 a.m. The normal values for the day are 82 and 61, according to the NWS. Thunderstorms that moved through the region helped lower the temperature, but they also caused power outages in the southern part of Luzerne County and in Mountain Top. PPL Electric Utilities reported 17,542 customers were without power as of 6:13 p.m. PPL reported the heaviest hit areas were: West Hazleton with 5,359 customers affected; Wright Township, 4,538; Butler Township, 4,124; and Sugarloaf 3,232.

for years and offered a matter-offact explanation. “Somebody has to do it,” he said. Approximately 75 people are needed to set up, pour the beer, make the cheese steaks and french fries, sell the tickets, clean up and everything else associated with the bazaar expected to raise $25,000 in funds for the hose company. It almost didn’t happen without Dan Wegrzynowicz. “Nobody wanted to run it,” he said Thursday afternoon in the shade of a tent as the temperature approached 90 degrees and the final details were being attended to a few hours before the 6 p.m. start. Wegrzynowicz, a firefighter for 16 years, got involved at a meeting earlier this year. “I raised my hand and said, ‘We at least have to do (it) one more year,’ ” he said. The decision has to be made by the end of February in order to book the bands and start the planning process, he said. Wegrzynowicz, who served as chairman for the bazaar, took off two days of work. Co-chairman Chris Weaver said he works around his work schedule. At 43, Wegrzynowicz is one of the younger volunteers. Weaver is 36. Many of the others helping out are in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Weaver followed the lead of his 60-year-old dad, Gary. “He was chairman of the bazaar years ago,” said the younger Weaver. “He taught me how to do it.” Weaver looked at his participation as a way to give back and lamented the lack of “kids” getting involved in the fire company and its bazaar. “I wish more people would volunteer for their community,” he said. His dad rattled off a list of men who answered the calls for emergencies and bazaars – Harry Mangan, Lenny Price, Uzdella, Gary Makarczyk, Frank McKenzie, Lou Sewell, Stanley Browski, Tony Truskoski and the late Gene Lasecki, who was township fire chief. He said their efforts helped double the size of the fire hall in the 1980s, adding a ground-floor kitchen, and social room and a basement garage with a truck to pull their water rescue crafts. The township owns the front half of the building with a single bay for two trucks, an office and small storage areas. “Our first bazaar was across the street,” said the older Weaver.
Christopher Kersey said several goals of the new government have already “come to fruition.” He noted: • An ethics commission has been set up to police the county’s first ethics code, with several complaints already filed. • Council is publicly interviewing applicants for outside authorities and boards. In the past, names of appointees appeared on commissioner agendas with no public discussion. • The public also heard options and details about the 2012 amended budget the same time as council. In the past, commissioners had public budget hearings but hammered out the actual budget in private. “I think you’re going to have much more honest budgeting under the new government,” Kersey said. Lawton’s recommendation to cancel county funding for the Hotel Sterling demolition and the Market Street Square train station renovation also show the manager is making nonpolitical decisions based on what’s best for the county – another home rule objective, Kersey said. Kingston Mayor Jim Haggerty, a charter drafter, said he is “extremely pleased” with the new government after six months. The manager is making professional decisions about dayto-day operations “without regard to politics.” The new council is a “tremendous improvement” over the former three-commissioner board, he said. Council members from both political major political parties and an Independent have proven to be “diligent, transparent and largely non-partisan,” he said. More citizens are involved in county government through appointments to outside boards, and most of these volunteers wouldn’t have a chance to serve when appointments were controlled by two majority commissioners, he said.

The former St. Casimir church allowed use of its property. The firefighters built the stands on the church lot and cooked the food and washed the pots at the hose company, Weaver explained. The grass lot’s since been used for parking for the bazaar. “I’m expecting a good turnout,” said Chris Weaver. People come from far away to attend the social event and reunite with old friends. For more than two decades Tess Urban of Lee Park Avenue, a member of the hose company’s Women’s Auxiliary, has been bringing a group to work at the bazaar. Her daughter Mary Ann Rompola and son-in-law Randy and their children Sarah, Emily, and Ryan traveled from Indiana to make potato pancakes.

HANOVER TWP. – Firefighters will some day be answering the call from a centrally located headquarters along the Sans Souci Parkway. Plans are being made to build the facility on the former Square H lumber company site, but no date has been set yet to break ground. Fire Chief Jeff Tudgay said none of the six companies throughout the township will be

as the phone was answered to not having his messages returned, Wert was beginning to lose patience. “They can’t even tell me if they received my return or not. It’s like it’s Looney Tunes down there,” said Wert, who works as a car salesman at Ertley Kia in Moosic. Representatives frustrated Municipal and school district representatives sitting on the tax committee are just as frustrated, if not more. Several have said they might not be able to meet payroll or pay other bills if the problem with Centax is not resolved soon. They might have to take out tax anticipation loans to do so. Luzerne County Tax Collection Committee Solicitor Jeff Malak said that as of July 2, un-
Division heads The appointment of division heads must be priority because these administrators will help Lawton implement consolidations that comply with the new government structure and make county government more efficient, Kersey said. Fairmount Township resident Michael Giamber, a frequent county meeting attendee and fervent home rule supporter, said division head appointments can’t wait. “The monumental task of standing up a new government requires a cabinet of experts to advise the manager and help steer the organization forward. The manager cannot be expected to accomplish the transition alone,” Giamber said. Charter drafter Richard Heffron agreed, saying in-house promotions are an option. Heffron particularly wants to see the restructuring of the central law office and the judicial services division covering civil and criminal court records and other offices. Streamlining of offices will free up funding for other prior-
eliminated. “We’re putting companies in one location,” he said Saturday. The departments cover a 22-square-mile area with “everything under the sun you can imagine,” said the chief. The township has residential neighborhoods, shopping centers, manufacturing facilities, the Susquehanna River and Interstate 81 and other major roadways running through it. The move has to do with economics and staffing, ex-
plained Tudgay. “We don’t have the manpower,” he said. Last year the Hanover Area Fire District was created to serve as the “parent company” and to act as the applicant for grants, he added. Funding is being sought for the construction. The local share gaming funds are being pursued as a source, he said. The Breslau Hose Co. No. 5, Franklin Hose Co. No. 4 and the Goodwill Hose Co. No. 1 will
relocate to the planned Sans Souci facility, said Tudgay. It will be manned around the clock. Franklin, which used to be on Lee Park Avenue, is stationed with Breslau on First Street. Goodwill will move from Center Street in the Hanover Green section. Newtown Hose Co. No. 2 will remain on Raymond Drive. Askam Hose Co. No. 6 on McGovern’s Hill Road will stay somewhere in that area, said Tudgay.
distributed earned income tax collections totaling $5.4 million have been sitting in a special investment trust account created for Luzerne County because Centax hasn’t been able to reconcile what amounts are owed to which municipalities and school districts. Since the June 27 committee meeting, at which the TCC voted to have Malak research how to end the contract with Centax, Malak said he has sent a letter to the state Department of Community and Economic development, which has been overseeing the implementation of Act 32, asking for emergency relief. Specifically, the committee is requesting permission from DCED for Centax to release funds in the account to municipalities and school districts based on predetermined percentages and worry about reconciling the amounts with what is actually owed them at a later time. Malak also sent a letter to the office of state Attorney General

Luzerne County isn’t the only Pennsylvania county experiencing problems with the Centax Group. According to the RepublicanHerald, the Schuylkill County Tax Collection Committee ousted Centax on June 27 for failing to process earned income tax bills in a timely manner. That county TCC plans to appoint Berkheimer Associates as the new EIT collector at a meeting on Tuesday. And according to the Observer-
Reporter, the Greene County Tax Collection Committee authorized its solicitor on June 28 to file a court injunction halting Centax from collecting earned income taxes in that county. The action was taken after municipalities reported receiving neither full disbursements nor monthly reports from Centax since it began collecting earned income taxes for that county’s municipalities and school districts in January, the newspaper reported.
performance bond was set at $3.28 million when the agency had more money than that tied up. At the meeting, Malak said DCED set the bond rate and made the determination. In response to an inquiry from The Times Leader on what made a tax collector Act 32 compliant, a DCED spokesman said a tax collection committee cannot appoint a tax collector that: • Has been convicted of a felo-
ny involving fraud, extortion or dishonesty; • Has engaged in conduct that adversely reflects on the Tax Officer’s credibility, honesty or integrity; • Is unable to attain bonding requirements; • Has not met the mandatory education requirements established by DCED; or • Has not met additional requirements established by both the tax collection committee and
Linda Kelly asking her to look into collections to determine if there was “any type of fraud or illegal activity,” as suggested by a TCC member at the last meeting. The TCC was set to vote to fire Centax at the meeting, but that day, the TCC received a letter from Centax pointing to a clause in its contract that allowed the agency 90 days to cure any problem pointed out to company officials. Bond rate set by DCED At that meeting, committee members asked how DCED determined that Centax was Act 32-compliant and eligible to be considered as an EIT collector. Others questioned why Centax’s

Charter drafter Veronica Ciaruffoli, another regular at council meetings, said division heads will help Lawton restructure offices and sort through inherited financial problems. “We put a new manager in to transition into a whole new organizational structure, which is different than taking something that already exists and refining it,” she said. Ciaruffoli said the county’s new leaders are moving the government in the right direction, though she wants them to review the charter again to make sure every home rule mandate is understood and followed.
Poised to move forward Kingston resident Brian Shiner, who hasn’t missed a council meeting, said progress under the new government was largely “hampered by mundane necessities mandated by the charter,” including drafting of the administrative, ethics and personnel codes. “Now that all of those things are finalized, they can move on with the task of actually running the county,” Shiner said. Shiner said Lawton should be ready to start implementing changes. “Mr. Lawton has had four months now to get his feet wet and get to know and understand our county a little better. Now he needs to start making some firm and aggressive decisions,” Shiner said. Shiner said he accepted council’s decision to raise taxes 2 percent in the amended budget to provide wiggle room until the new manager was on board. “Now it’s time to start making all the necessary cuts in the line items of the budget and to increase our revenue,” Shiner said, noting that he’s also referring to the judicial branch. He believes most of the new council members are trying to make the best decisions with no ulterior motives and supports a council of “average citizens” as opposed to “seasoned politicians.” The council composition will change again in 2014 because five of the11seats are up for election in 2013, he said. Jackson Township resident Ed Chesnovitch, a charter supporter and faithful meeting attendee, said he will continue to push for charter compliance. “I think we’re on the path, but it’s a new government. It’s a learning experience, and sometimes they sidestep the charter.” DCED. The spokesman did not supply the requested mandatory education requirements or additional requirements requested by close of business Friday. The spokesman also said that each county tax collection committee was responsible for setting the bond rate “in an amount equal to the maximum amount of taxes that may be in the possession of the tax officer at any given time; or sufficient to secure the financial responsibility of the tax officer as determined by the tax collection committee.” Malak said the committee followed DCED guidelines on the bond determination and said the EIT revenue collected should not have surpassed $3.2 million before distribution began by April. Unfortunately, because revenue was still “trickling in” from 2011 collections and small amounts of revenue distributed for 2012, most municipalities didn’t realize there was a problem until May.

tests were negative and everything seemed fine. The lump was still there so I decided to have a biopsy. It proved to be cancer. I decided to see Dr. David Greenwald and I went through mastectomy surgery and chemotherapy for a while. I then decided I had enough of the chemo and that God and I did not want to have it anymore. Twenty-five years later I am still here and making it.” The help you received seemed to make you want to support others. How has your experience been beneficial to others? “Having cancer is not good, but in another instance, I have met and hopefully helped so many people.

So let’s take a little trip and do some research of our own.” “Not again,” he sighed. “I have a “The Three cookout planned, Stooges are and I just realized I forgot the bratwurst next,” I said. and…” “It’s 15 minutes Well, to make a long story short, we of Moe, Larry and Curley pokiwere soon in a typical Wyoming Valley ng each other in neighborhood of the eye and about 60 years ago, thanks to my powers getting bashed of metaphysical with heavy obtravel. jects.” “Where are all those kids heading?” he asked. “Let’s take a walk around the corner.” “Hey, it’s a movie theater,” he said. “Right! It’s just one of the innumerable neighborhood movie houses that used to dot the area. The multiplex that’s 20 miles away hasn’t been invented yet. We’re going to a Saturday matinee, a staple of young people’s lives back then. Those kids you saw have been looking forward to it all week.” “Wow, ‘Terror from the Sea,’ it says on the marquee. “Two adult,” I tell the young lady in the ticket booth. “Oh, we’re not going in, are we?” moaned Alner. “Relax,” I smiled. “I have yet another power – that of theoretical invisibility. We can buy our Good and Plenties and cheer for the heroes and nobody will know we’re there.” “Show’s starting,” whispered Alner. “Look, a Bugs Bunny cartoon.” “Notice how Elmer Fudd is hunting Bugs with a shotgun,” I said. “But Bugs manages to blast him to smithereens instead. And then Bugs rolls a huge boulder down on Elmer, completely flattening him.” “Boy, I never saw that kind of thing on ‘Mister Rogers.’” “The Three Stooges are next,” I said. “It’s 15 minutes of Moe, Larry and Curley poking each other in the eye and getting bashed with heavy objects. Listen to the kids. They love the Stooges, but no one will actually do anything like this when they get home. I think they’re on to some distinction between art and reality that we’ve forgotten.” “Now we’re seeing a cowboy movie.” “Right on, pardner,” I smiled. This is a serial. By the time it’s over, there will have been all kinds of gunfights, fistfights and chases on horseback, and you’ll have to come back next week to see how the hero survived being thrown off a cliff.” “This ‘Terror from the Sea’ should be good,” said Alner as the credits rolled. “Look how the giant, slimy creature is destroying our cities and stomping peo-

OS ANGELES - Jonathan Beggs wanted an easy way for his neighbors to share books. Using odds and ends of fiberboard and Douglas fir, the retired building contractor fashioned a hutch the size of a dollhouse. He gave it a pitched cedar-shingle roof capped with copper. The door, trimmed in bright red, opens to three shelves filled with books by Joyce Carol Oates, Tony Hillerman, James Michener and others. Below hangs a sign: “Take a book or bring a book or both.” In the half-year that Beggs’ Little Free Library has perched on a post in front of his Sherman Oaks, Calif., home, it has evolved into much more than a book exchange.

Stucker, 71, has inspired many people as a breast cancer survivor who has lived a fruitful life since being diagnosed with the disease 25 years ago. Dorothy attended West Pittston High School and has been married to her husband, Paul, for 50 years. They have three children: Arlene, Sandy and Paul Jr. The couple lives in Parsons.

How has that been and what are some of your fondest memories there? “I have always worked for the North Branch and we have had three locations in the time I have been there. We were located on George Avenue and had to move when there was a fire there. We relocated to Washington Street for a time and have been at the Oliver Street location the last two years.

SOCIAL PAGE GUIDELINES The Times Leader allows you to decide how your wedding notice reads, with a few caveats. Wedding announcements run in Sunday’s People section, with color photos, free of charge. Articles must be limited to 220 words, and we reserve the right to edit announcements that exceed that word count. Announcements must be typed or submitted via
www.timesleader.com. (Click on the "people" tab, then “weddings” and follow the instructions from there.) Submissions must include a daytime contact phone number and must be received within 10 months of the wedding date. We do not run first-year anniversary announcements or announcements of weddings that took place more than a year ago. (Wedding
photographers often can supply you with a color proof in advance of other album photographs.) All other social announcements must be typed and include a daytime contact phone number. Announcements of births at local hospitals are submitted by hospitals and published on Sundays. Out-of-town announcements
with local connections also are accepted. Photos are only accepted with baptism, dedication or other religious-ceremony announcements but not birth announcements. Engagement announcements must be submitted at least one month before the wedding date to guarantee publication and must include the wedding date. We
cannot publish engagement announcements once the wedding has taken place. Anniversary photographs are published free of charge at the 10th wedding anniversary and subsequent five-year milestones. Other anniversaries will be published, as space allows, without photographs.

ties, advocates see the libraries as a way to keep the printed word in the hands of seasoned and budding bibliophiles. The concept of passing along a favorite book speaks to people’s desire to connect in person at a time when much communication takes place via texts and Facebook, said Dana Cuff, a UCLA professor and director of cityLAB, a think tank. “The small-scale sharing of something that was special to you seems like a great version of borrowing sugar and bringing tomatoes to your neighbor,” Cuff said. “It helps you make connections to people who live around you.” Little Free Library was the inspiration of Todd Bol, who in the fall of 2009 landed on a way to honor his late mother, a book-loving teacher. He built a miniature wooden one-room schoolhouse, mounted it outside his Hudson, Wis., home and stocked it with books. Even on rainy days, friends and neighbors would happen by to make selections, drop off books and remark on the library’s cuteness. Bol, an entrepreneur in international business development, enlisted Rick Brooks, a community outreach specialist in Madison, Wis., to help spread the word. In the last two years, nearly 1,800 library stewards, as Bol calls them, have registered cabinet-size athenaeums in about 45 states and dozens of countries, including Ghana, England and Germany. Each owner pays $25 to the Little Free Library, a nonprofit organization, for a sign and a number.

Little Free Library was the inspiration of Todd Bol, who in the fall of 2009 landed on a way to honor his late mother, a book-loving teacher. The group’s website features a locater map and photos of people attending grand openings for libraries. Bol anticipates nearly 3,000 registered libraries by the end of July. That doesn’t count the unregistered library of Susan and David Dworski, who after seeing a TV report about Little Free Library hired a handyman to convert a vintage beer crate into a book repository that hovers over their wooden fence on a Venice walk street. Since opening their house of books on May 12, they have detected a familiar pattern. They hear the sound of footsteps approaching, fading and then returning. They hear the latch open. Then . silence. That is the sound of a friend or a stranger inspecting the books nestled within, which typically include memoirs, mysteries and self-help manuals. Over the weeks, visitors have taken such varied titles as “McCullough’s Brief Lives,” “Mere Christianity” and “Living Wicca” and have returned, sometimes in the misty predawn, to deposit replacements such as “Never Come Morning,” “Perfect Health” and “The Black Ice.” “I make a point to leave people alone while they browse,” said Susan Dworski, a graphic designer, writer and jewelry maker. “I do hear conversations at the box, but I also see loners arriving with books and taking them, rather
covertly, it seems to me. I think perhaps folks wonder if they’re stealing somehow, or fear being caught on ’Candid Camera.’ “ She relishes seeing which books appear or disappear, and how rapidly. “It’s not unlike the excitement of raising chickens and going out each morning to the coop to see which hens have laid warm eggs, hidden in the straw,” Dworski said. Aware that most people do not stroll around the neighborhood with a spare book in hand, she adapted the sign to read: “Take one now. Leave one later.” One recent Saturday morning, Fiona Sassoon, 10, picked up a kids mystery and the Roald Dahl classic “Matilda” at the Dworskis’ library. She had read about the Little Free Library movement online at school. She and her parents, Tim and Dawn, contributed a few books - some “Fancy Nancy” picture books, “Ramona the Pest” and “The Indian in the Cupboard.” Many library custodians get creative, designing boxes shaped like beehives or roosters. Others have used plywood previously painted by artists and birch bark from the woods near their homes. They have converted mailboxes and newsstands. One library stands at the end of a boat dock on Honey Bee Island, one of the Thousand Islands along the St. Lawrence River, which separates New York state from Ontario, Canada. Bol knows of a man who travels with his li-

brary in his RV and mounts it on the bumper when he settles in for the night at a park. In New Orleans, volunteers built 10 libraries using materials salvaged from the Hurricane Katrina cleanup. In the Central Valley, home builder Lennar Corp. has put little libraries in its subdivisions in Fresno, Hanford and Clovis. Susan Wilke, vice president of sales and marketing, commissioned Bol to build book repositories
painted with rural and smalltown California scenes, featuring poppies, barns, dairy cows, horses and a woman with a watering can. She views the libraries as a selling point. “People are needing interaction,” Wilke said. “They never meet their neighbors. This provides an excuse for people to meet and be nice.” That was certainly the case for Beggs and his wife, actress Mitzi
Hoag. They so enjoyed making new friendships that they decided to hold an open house. Beggs posted a small invitation on the library, and, on the last Friday in May, they welcomed half a dozen neighbors who drank wine, ate chips with dips and chatted until 11 p.m. Beggs and Hoag intend to make it a monthly tradition. “I find the whole thing quite gratifying,” Beggs said.

WIMBLEDON, England — For Serena Williams, the low point came in early 2011, when she spent hours laying around her home, overwhelmed by a depressing series of health scares that sent her to the hospital repeatedly and kept her away from tennis for 10 months. The high point came Saturday on Centre Court at Wimbledon, when Williams dropped down to the grass, hands covering her face. She was all the way back, a Grand Slam champion yet again.

LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL
Special performance leads to championship
Final three spots were filled by Griffin, Iguodala and Harden. By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer
LAS VEGAS — Blake Griffin, Andre Iguodala and James Harden were chosen Saturday to complete the roster for the U.S. Olympic basketball team. They earned the final three spots that opened after a rash of injuries knocked out at least four players who would have been on the team. They beat out Eric Gordon, Rudy Gay and No. 1 draft pick Anthony Davis of New Orleans, who couldn’t scrimmage this week because of a sprained ankle. Also heading to London for the defending gold medalists are: LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love. Griffin showed he was healthy again after being slowed by a knee injury during the playoffs, putting on an impressive dunking display following practice Saturday. Harden, the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year with Oklahoma City, gives the Americans more scoring punch off the bench, and Iguodala is a defensive specialist who can guard multiple positions. The Americans lost Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to injuries in recent months, forcing them to scrap plans to name their 12-man roster on June 18. They asked the US Olympic Committee for a roster extension and added Harden and Davis to their original pool of finalists that was chosen in January. USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo was intrigued by Davis’ skills, but the national player of the year at Kentucky sprained his ankle last week and was not able to take part this week, robbing him of a chance to show he was ready to handle international competition now. James, Bryant, Anthony, Paul and Williams were all part of the 2008 Olympic gold medalists. Durant, Westbrook, Chandler and Love played on the world championship team two years ago. The injuries leave the Americans short-handed at center, where Howard started four years ago in Beijing and Bosh backed him up. Chandler is the only natural center left, so the Americans will be forced to use some players out of their normal NBA positions.

he kid on the mound for Back Mountain National was no stranger to no-hitters. He’s watched a couple from the stands at major league stadiums. He’s pitched a few himself on Little League mounds. But what he accomplished Saturday may have given J.D. Barrett a bigger thrill than all the rest. Because the no-hitter he threw in the 11-12-year old District 31 title game solidified one last Little League season in which Barrett and his Back Mountain American buddies could call themselves the best. “Pretty good,” Barrett said of his feat. The circumstances surrounding it made Barrett’s performance great. OK, so he only had to pitch four innings of a game that was ended early by the 10-run rule as Back Mountain bashed its way to a 14-0 victory over Wyoming/West Wyoming. And “Big Game” Barrett’s becoming known for such stellar performances, after pitching a five-inning no-hitter in Back Mountain’s 10-11year old district championship victory last summer and after helping his teams of 9-and-10-year olds win district titles during the previous two years. “He’s kind of used to it at this point,” said his father John Barrett. But this was the final time Barrett, who recently turned 13 but made Little League Baseball’s cutoff age date, would wind up on a District 31 mound. And he was facing a Wyoming/ West Wyoming team that just torched opposing pitchers throughout the district tournament. “He pitched unbelievable today,” Back Mountain National manager Steve Mathers said. “Absolutely came in and shut these guys out.” How dominant was Barrett? Only one ball left the infield against him, when Wyoming/West Wyoming’s Matt Silinskie slammed a first-inning drive that was tracked down in deep right field by Devin Robbins to end the opening frame. Other than that, hard-hitting Wyoming/West Wyoming didn’t really come close to getting a hit, as Barrett walked three, struck out five and polished off his no-hit gem by inducing two ground outs to finish the game. “It wasn’t on my mind,” Barrett said. “It just happened.” It just so happened that Barrett, a Phillies fan, was in the stands as a 3-year-old toddler when Kevin Millwood pitched a no-hitter for Philadelphia at Veterans Stadium in 2003. Barrett has better recollection of the second no-hitter he witnessed in person, which came when his pitching hero Roy Halladay made his first career playoff start so memorable by holding the Cincinnati Reds hitless in a 2010 playoff game at Citizens Bank Park. “Maybe he emulated them,” suggested Lisa Barrett, J.D.’s mom. More likely, Barrett was more concerned about imitating his own past playoff success. He knew Wyoming/ West Wyoming’s power-packed lineup was dangerous, because he grew up playing with some of those kids. Before moving to the Back Mountain, J.D. Barrett got his start in baseball at the Tee-ball level in the Wyoming/West Wyoming region, where his mother works as a teacher in the Wyoming Area school district. “He was so thrilled to be playing them,” Lisa Barrett said. It turns out facing J.D. Barrett with a championship on the line isn’t nearly as big of a thrill.

Trio of prospects join Tampa Yanks
IronPigs on track after recent streak By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com
Just two weeks, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs were in the middle of a four-game losing streak that had them sitting a game behind Pawtucket in the International League North Division. Since that time, the ’Pigs have been on a roll winning eight of 12 and entered Saturday’s action with a three-game lead over the PawSox in the standings. Lehigh Valley got a boost from rehabbing Philadelphia slugger Ryan Howard, who helped the team win all four games he played in. Howard hasn’t been the only player playing a big part for the IronPigs as everyone has been contributing. No. 9 hitter Tug Hulett walloped a grand slam in a win over Scranton/WilkesBarre last week. Also for Lehigh Valley, starting pitcher Tyler Cloyd learned he was going to start the Triple-A All-Star game for the International League. The 25-yearold, right-handed Cloyd is 8-1 with a 2.15 ERA in 13 starts for the ’Pigs. When his numbers from Double-A Reading this season are added in, he is 11-1 with a 2.07 ERA in 17 starts. Here are Philadelphia’s top 10 prospects according to MLB.com and how they are faring in 2012. 1. Trevor May, RHP, Reading (Double-A): A fourth-round pick in 2008, he’s shown some command issues in his last two outings walking 10 in 10 innings. But he came out of the stretch with a 1-0 record. For the season, he has a 4.92 ERA with 91 strikeouts in 892⁄3 innings. 2. Jesse Biddle, LHP, Clearwater (A-Advanced): In two starts over the last week, he went 1-0 allowing five runs in 12 1 ⁄3 as his record improved to 5-3 for the season with an ERA of 3.23. He has also punched out 85 hitters in 832⁄3innings this season. 3. Brody Colvin, RHP, Clearwater (A-Advanced): In his last three starts, he’s 1-0 while only giving up three runs in 19 innings and also struck out 16 in that span. To date for the Threshers, he has a 4.25 ERA with a 4-4 record to go with 75 strikeouts in 822⁄3 innings. 4. Larry Greene, outfielder, Williamsport: The 19-year-old first-round pick from last June is heating up. Known as a power hitter, he’s still homerless, but he’s hitting .324 (12-for-37) over his last 10 games to raise his average for the season up to .270. He is also getting on base with a .397 on base percentage so far this season in 18 games. 5. Phillippe Aumont, RHP, Lehigh Valley (Triple-A): The 6-foot-7, 260-pound reliever has thrown 4 2⁄3 consecutive scoreless frames. Currently for the IronPigs, he’s 2-1 with a 4.15 ERA and 10 saves. He’s also fanned 37 in just 26 innings. 6. Sebastian Valle, catcher, Reading (Double-A): The 21year-old is mired in a little slump hitting just .171 (6-for-35) in his last 10 games. His average has dropped to .250 for the season. He also has nine home runs and 33 RBI. 7. Justin De Fratus, RHP, TBA: On the disabled list, he could begin a rehab assignment this week. 8. Maikel Franco, third base, Lakewood (Class A): The 19year-old seems to be finding his stroke. During a nine-game hitting streak that ended on Friday he hit .410 (16-for-39). In the span, he’s raised his average more than 20 points to .233. He also has seven homers and 45 RBI this season. 9. Jonathan Pettibone, RHP, Reading (Double-A): The 21year-old missed his last start with tightness in his groin. He is 7-5 with a 3.27 ERA with 63 strikeouts in 932⁄3 innings. 10.

More than baseball in Reading By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees made their intentions known recently that when the team returns for the 2013 season it wants to be more fanfriendly. Ideas have been taken by members of the organization from people all over Luzerne and Lackawanna counties and it’s also been known that the organization wants to use the Lehigh Valley IronPigs’ mold for building a strong relationship with fans. The Phillies Triple-A affiliate located in Allentown is packed with promotions and in-game entertainment every game. But there’s another Philadelphia affiliate that may be even more gracious with fans than Lehigh Valley. About an hour drive from Allentown is FirstEnergy Stadium in Reading, the home of the Double-A Reading Phillies and the host for Wednesday’s Eastern League All-Star Game. The stadium takes on the moniker Baseballtown, U.S.A., and for good reason. Promotions are always in full force in Reading and there’s always more than one going on whether it’s a concert on the plaza or one of many giveaways. And when there isn’t a band playing live, a disc jockey takes the stage for a performance. Last month when the DJ couldn’t make the showing, Phillies top prospect and RPhils ace starting pitcher Trevor May showed off his DJ skills. “There’s so much history here, especially since it’s been around so long,” May said. “It’s just a great place to play. It’s a fun atmosphere all the way up (the Phillies farm system). It’s definitely fun to play baseball when there’s an atmosphere every night.”

Fans flock to FirstEnergy Stadium in Reading everyday for one of numerous promotions or to see a winning ballclub packed with prospects.
When entering FirstEnergy Stadium for the first time, fans notice the historic stadium concessions in a closed-in setting. Once you make your way to the field, the throwback seats will make sure you are comfortable while watching the game and will make spectators feel like a setting from the old days. The stadium isn’t all about old time settings though. That’s evident by a swimming pool in right field. Once the game begins, there’s more to see than two teams attempting to score more runs than the other. Heck, some regulars at Reading Phillies games will even say that the focus is more on fans and entertainment than about baseball when you go to a baseball game. That’s because there’s something to see in between every inning. Whether it’s the popular
vegetable race – between patrons suited up in cauliflower, broccoli, carrot or a lettuce costume – the Crazy Hot Dog Vendor throwing franks into the stands or one of many other attractions, you’re sure to have a laugh. At most ballparks, if celebrating a birthday, fans will see their name on the outfield board or a similar setting. In Reading, you can throw out the first pitch on your birthday. A winning team is also a part of the winning-with-fans formula. Like Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Reading always seems to have a proven club. Especially this season as the R-Phils’ roster consists of several top prospects in the organization. In addition to May, fellow pitcher Jonathan Pettibone and catcher Sebastian Valle are ranked by MLB.com on the Phillies’ top 10 prospect list. The trio has won at every
level they have played together and have moved up the ladder together, which works well for their team chemistry. “Lots of guys area really growing into their game. It’s kind of happened for a lot of us,” May added. “It’s fun knowing the guys and it’s easy to have chemistry when you play with each other and see each other everyday. We’re all friends and we’re always having fun, especially after wins.” Whether going to see an exciting team – that wears one of many alternate jerseys – or just in attendance to see one of several attractions, fans line up outside the stadium two hours before gametime to get a great experience at the ballpark. That’s something Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre officials would love to see night in and night out, and not by traveling to a nearby venue.
DISTRICT 2’S PRESENCE IN PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL
Russ Canzler, Hazleton Area, Columbus (Cleveland, TripleA): The Hazleton native, who will participate in the Triple-A All-Star Game for the second straight year, has been heating up as of late as his batting average has ballooned in the last month rising to .276 for the season. He has got a hit in nine of his last 11 games and is hitting .333 (11-for-33) in that span with four home runs and 12 RBI. Also on the season he now has 12 home runs, 48 RBI, 20 doubles, two triples and a .335 on base percentage for the Clippers. In last year’s All-Star Game while playing for Durham, Canzler was the MVP after hitting a game-winning home run. Canzler was originally drafted by the Cubs in the 30th round in 2004. He was signed as a minor league free agent by Tampa Bay last year and then traded to Cleveland.
Kyle Landis, Hazleton Area, Akron (Cleveland, Double-A): An 18th round pick by the Indians in 2007, the right-handed reliever is having a solid season for the Aeros, putting up a 3.45 ERA in 27 games while striking out 40 in 441⁄3 innings and posting a 4-3 record with two saves. The right-hander will participate in this week’s Eastern League All-Star Game to be held in Reading on Wednesday. It will be his second all-star appearance as a professional previously participating in the New York/ Penn League contest in 2007. Akron currently has a 4.5 game lead in the Eastern League West Division. Landis had a short stint for Triple-A earlier this season, pitching three innings for the Clippers. His best year in the minors was in 2011, when he combined to go 10-2 with a 2.54 ERA in 42 appearances spanning three affiliates.
Cory Spangenberg, Abington Heights, Lake Elsinore (San Diego, Class A advanced): The 10th overall pick in 2011 by the Padres hasn’t played since June 28 nursing a head injury and is on the disabled list. For the season, the left-handed batting second baseman is batting .288 with one home run, 33 RBI and 21 stolen bases in 27 attempts, to go along with six triples, 11 doubles and 40 runs in 67 games.
Ray Black, Coughlin, San Francisco (extended spring training): A power pitcher, Black is nursing a shoulder injury which arose at the end of spring training and he’s been sidelined for about three months. He is still rehabbing in Scottsdale, Ariz. After experiencing soreness, he received a cortisone shot and has begun another throwing program. The seventh-round draft pick (237th overall) out of the University of Pittsburgh last June is hoping to join the short season SalemKeizer Volcanoes in Oregon or the Low Class A team in Augusta or possibly join the Arizona Rookie League Giants.
Rich Thompson, Montrose, Durham (Tampa Bay, Triple-A): A 33-year-old speedy outfielder, is batting .281 with seven RBI and nine stolen bases in 21 games since being sent to the Bulls. For the Rays, he had just one hit in 17 at-bats for the Rays, picked up two stolen bases, scored two runs and knocked one in. Last month, he was traded to Tampa from the Phillies and was immediately called up to the big leagues. Before the trade, he was hitting .307 for Lehigh Valley with seven stolen bases along with an on-base percentage of .390 for the IronPigs. His minor league totals this season include a .294 batting average with 16 stolen bases and an on base percentage of .375.
Kyle McMyne, Old Forge, Bakersfield (Cincinnati, Class A Advanced): The righthanded reliever has pitched in 15 games since a promotion from Low-A ball. Taken by the Reds in the fourth round (145th overall) of last year’s draft out of Villanova, he has continued a nice stretch having a seveninning scoreless streak and allowing just three hits in the seven-game stretch while and earning three saves. For the season for Bakersfield, he has given up nine earned runs in 20 innings, but his ERA dropped by nearly three runs to 4.05 after the impressive stretch. He is 1-1 with three saves and 18 strikeouts against nine walks. Overall this season in the minors, he is 4-3 with a 3.25 ERA in 34 games.

The Tampa Yankees have been one of the most dominant teams in the Florida State League with three league championships in the last eight years, including two in the last three years. They stumbled to begin the 2012 season finishing under .500 in the first half standings with a 30-37 record. But looking to add to championships, the T-Yanks are off to a good start in the second half and just added some help last week. Three of the organization’s top prospects – catcher Gary Sanchez and outfielders Mason Williams and Tyler Austin – were promoted to the high Class-A affiliate from Low-A Charleston just a few days ago. In the FSL winners of the division in each half advance to the postseason. Tampa seems to have a good chance to advance to the playoffs with the additions because the trio helped the RiverDogs to a 39-28 firsthalf record in the South Atlantic League and an overall record of 46-33 record before their promotions. With another top prospect in Slade Heathcott also on the Tampa roster, the team now consists of four of the top 14 according to MLB.com and three of the top six. Here are the New York Yankees top-10 prospects according to MLB.com. 1. Manny Banuelos, LHP, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (TripleA): The left-hander, currently on the disabled list, is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA in six starts for Yankees with 22 Ks in 24 innings. 2. Dellin Betances, RHP, Trenton (Double-A): The 6foot-8, 260-pounder was demoted to the Thunder last week because of continuous command problems. For Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre he totaled 69 walks in 74 2/3 innings along with a 6.39 ERA. He has started two games for Trenton and shown improvement with a 0.75 ERA and has walked six in 12 innings. 3. Gary Sanchez, catcher, Tampa (High-A): The 19-yearold was promoted from Charleston after hitting .297 with 13 home runs, 56 RBI and 11 stolen bases. In three games with the T-Yanks, he’s 4-for-13 with a home run and a stolen base. 4. Mason Williams, outfielder, Tampa (High-A): Just like his teammate Sanchez, he was promoted to Tampa last week. He hit .304 with eight home runs, 28 RBI, 19 doubles and 19 steals for Charleston. In four games for Tampa, he is 4-for-19 with an RBI. 5. Jose Campos, RHP, Charleston (A): A 19-year-old acquired from Seattle is currently on the DL with elbow inflammation and is currently 3-0 with a 4.01 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 24 2 ⁄3 innings. 6. Slade Heathcott, outfielder, Tampa (A): The 2009 first-round draft pick is finally healthy and producing. In 12 games so far with Tampa and he’s hitting .267 with two home runs, 8 RBI and four stolen bases. 7. Austin Romine, catcher, TBA: The 23-year-old who is on the DL with an inflamed disc in his back, has started catching bullpen sessions. He may be a few weeks away from seeing game action. 8. Dante Bichette Jr., third base, Charleston (A): Bichette was New York’s first pick in 2011 (51st overall) and is batting .252 on the season with one home run and 28 RBI. 9. Cito Culver, shortstop, Charleston (A): A first-round pick in 2010 (32 overall), the 19-year-old switch-hitter continues to get on base at a solid clip for the RiverDogs. On the season, he has a .321 on base percentage and in his last six games, he’s reached base nine times. 10. Adam Warren, RHP, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (TripleA): His return to the Yankees from the majors didn’t go so well as he gave up six runs and 10 hits in six innings last week while taking a loss. On the season for SWB, he is 5-6 with a 4.19 ERA in 92 1⁄3 innings.

Gee, Davis lift Mets over Cubs NEW YORK — Ike Davis homered, Jordany Valdespin hit one out for the second day in a row and Dillon Gee pitched one-run ball for eight innings to help the New York Mets beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 Saturday. Gee (6-7) gave up seven hits without a walk and struck out four to keep up a run of strong starts by Mets pitchers. They’ve gone at least six innings in 19 of the past 21 games, and have an ERA of 3.16. Braves 6, Phillies 3
PHILADELPHIA — Tommy Hanson pitched effectively into the eighth, Brian McCann homered and the Atlanta Braves beat the struggling Philadelphia Phillies. Cardinals 3, Marlins 2
ST. LOUIS — Kyle Lohse beat the Miami Marlins with seven innings of three-hit ball in 106-degree heat and Tony Cruz hit a go-ahead two-run
triple in the St. Louis Cardinals’ victory. PITTSBURGH — James McDonald scattered four hits over seven innings, Mike McKenry homered and the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the San Francisco Giants. Astros 6, Brewers 3
HOUSTON — Scott Moore homered for the second straight day and J.D. Martinez and Jose Altuve had three hits each as the Houston Astros took advantage of the firstinning ejection of Zack Greinke to get a win over Milwaukee and break a season-long ninegame losing streak. Nationals 4, Rockies 1
WASHINGTON — Gio Gonzalez pitched six innings of three-hit ball to earn his 12th win, Ian Desmond homered, and the Washington Nationals used a three-run sixth to beat the Colorado Rockies.
Ciriaco, Gomez lead Red Sox to DH split BOSTON — Newcomers Pedro Ciriaco and Mauro Gomez had three hits each and the Boston Red Sox gained a split of their day-night doubleheader with a 9-5 win over the New York Yankees on Saturday. Ciriaco drove in three runs with a bases-clearing double one day after being called up from Pawtucket. Gomez is 8 for 17 in five games since being promoted from the Triple-A team Tuesday night. Andruw Jones hit three homers in the doubleheader, including two of the Yankees’ four in their 6-1 win in the opener in which Freddy Garcia pitched 6 2-3 solid innings in muggy conditions. They added three homers in the nightcap, running their baseball-high total to 133. They’re on a pace for a club-record 255. The 1997 Seattle Mariners hold the major league record with 264.

Harper, Bourn are added to NL roster WASHINGTON (AP) — Bryce Harper and Michael Bourn are headed to the AllStar game after all. Harper and Bourn were added to the NL roster for Tuesday’s game in Kansas City after two players dropped out due to injuries. Both outfielders had lost to David Freese in online voting for one of the final spots. The 19-year-old Harper, a budding star with the Washington Nationals, becomes the youngest position player in the history of the game and third youngest All-Star ever. Bourn, Atlanta’s dynamic leadoff hitter, made the NL All-Star team for the second time. He entered Saturday’s game at Philadelphia with a .305 batting average, seven homers, 32 RBIs and 23 stolen bases.

Derby winner I’ll Have Another bids farewell at Hollywood Park The Associated Press
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner I’ll Have Another paraded between races at Betfair Hollywood Park on Saturday, giving fans at the colt’s home track a chance to cheer him one last time before he heads off to stud duty in Japan. I’ll Have Another made his way from the paddock, where jockey Mario Gutierrez got on wearing purple-and-white silks,
through the tunnel and onto the track as fans applauded and waved signs. He walked briefly on the track before entering the winner’s circle for the last time. “He is the local boy made good,” track announcer Vic Stauffer said as I’ll Have Another bucked. “Thinks he’s running again. He’s all pumped up,” a male fan said. I’ll Have Another’s bid to become racing’s first Triple Crown
winner in 34 years ended with his sudden retirement on the eve of the June 9 Belmont Stakes because of tendinitis in his left front leg. “I think he would have won the Belmont if he had the chance,” said Gina Romero, a 45-year-old fan from Porter Ranch. “I’m glad they put his safety first, that’s the most important thing.” Last month, owner J. Paul Reddam sold the colt to Japanese breeders. I’ll Have Another
will enter quarantine on Sunday for 30 days before going to his new home at Big Red Farm on the island of Hokkaido. “It’s sad,” trainer Doug O’Neill said. “We all wanted so badly for him to stay in the United States. I was actually pushing for him to stay in California, but there was just very little interest.” O’Neill plans to take his family to visit the colt in Japan next spring.

TOUR DE FRANCE
Wiggins takes yellow jersey after 7th stage Sky teammate Froome won the stage, but Wiggins’ solid finish earns the overall lead. By JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press
LA PLANCHE DES BELLES FILLES SKI STATION, France — Bradley Wiggins gave Britain its first Tour de France leader in 12 years on Saturday, wresting the yellow jersey from Fabian Cancellara after being helped by a powerful escort in the race’s mountain debut. In the Tour’s first big shake-up, the Sky squad was dominant up the first summit finish to allow Christopher Froome to win the seventh stage from Tomblaine to La Planche des Belles Filles ski station. The198-kilometer trek into the Vosges range went a long way toward shaping the three-week race
as experts predicted before the start — a showdown between Wiggins and defending champion Cadel Evans. In a five-rider breakaway group on the final climb, Evans tried an attack just before the super-steep climb in the last kilometer, but Froome beat him by two seconds as Wiggins stayed close to the Australian’s back wheel. After the finish, compatriots Wiggins and Froome hugged, with Wiggins becoming the first Briton since David Millar in 2000 to wear the yellow jersey. Cancellara, the Swiss timetrial specialist who had worn the jersey since winning the prologue a week ago, is 1 minute, 52 seconds behind Froome — but more importantly1:50 back of Wiggins. The Sky leader, who began the day seven seconds behind Cancellara in second place overall, leads Evans by 10 seconds. Vincenzo Nibali of Italy was fourth to
climb to third overall, 16 seconds behind. “It’s a great day for the team, we won the stage and took the yellow jersey,” Wiggins said. “This is my first time in the yellow jersey. It’s incredible — it’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid.” Wiggins has more breathing room than Cancellara had over the 199 kilometers, with only five riders within a minute of his time, including Denis Menchov of Russia, who won the 2009 Giro d’Italia and Spanish Vuelta in 2005 and 2007. The Swiss rider, by contrast, had had 22 riders within 48 seconds of his time before Saturday’s ride. Wiggins, a three-time Olympic track gold medalist, became the pre-race favorite after winning the Paris-Nice, Tour de Romandie and Criterium du Dauphine stage races this year. With two time trials and more
climbing days in the Alps and Pyrenees still to come, Wiggins played down speculation that he might’ve taken the lead too early with the finish in Paris on July 22. “You can’t get too cocky in this race and choose when you take the yellow jersey. I’d much rather be in yellow than in hospital — like half the peloton,” he said, referring to crashes on Friday that forced at least12 riders to quit the race. Wiggins crashed out of the 2011Tour because of a broken collarbone and said he felt “lucky” he has been trouble-free this year. Froome was part of the Team Sky phalanx that powered up the final climb. With most rivals falling away, the Kenyan-born Briton overcame Evans’ late surge to burst ahead to the finish. “He was really strong. He controlled the last two to three kilometers well,” Evans said of Froome. “I thought I could antici-

Ohio State boots LB after arrest COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State Coach Urban Meyer dismissed senior linebacker Storm Klein from the football team on Saturday following his arrest on domestic violence and assault charges. Klein pleaded not guilty to the charges on Saturday after being arrested by Columbus police on Friday. A message seeking comment was left Saturday. Meyer said in a statement that the charges against Klein “violate the core values of the Ohio State Football Program.” “As a result, Storm has been removed from the team. It has been made very clear that this type of charge will result in dismissal. If there are any changes in the charges, we will re-evaluate his status,” Meyer said. Klein appeared in Franklin County Municipal Court on Saturday represented by a public defender. The senior who started 10 games last year was told to stay away from the person who filed a complaint against him. Klein is one of several linebackers vying for a starting job with the Buckeyes.

strokes,” Choi said. “So I hope to get good results tomorrow.” Choi had four birdies on the front nine, including back-toback birdies to start the round. She made y 20-foot putt to birdie No. 7. Then Choi birdied the first three holes on the back nine, draining a birdie putt on the 12th hole to go to 7 under on the day. Choi’s only slip-up of the day was a three-putt on the 13th, her only bogey of the day. Choi then made a 15-foot putt to birdie the par-3 17th, going back to 7 under for the day and 8 under for the tournament. The lowest round in U.S. Women’s Open history was a 63 by Helen Alfredsson in 1994. Three other players have shot a 64 in the Open. With another low number Sunday, she could run away with the tournament. Webb Simpson leads Greenbrier Classic WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson shot a 5-under 65 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the Greenbrier Classic. Simpson had his second straight bogey-free round to reach 14 under on the The Greenbrier Resort’s Old White TPC course. Last year in the event, he briefly led entering the final nine holes, but faded to a tie for ninth. Troy Kelly was second after a 62. He had hip-replacement surgery in September 2010 after being diagnosed with arthritis. Rookie Charlie Beljan, J.B. Holmes and Ken Duke were 11 under. Beljan had a 67, Holmes a 66, and Duke a 65. Holmes had part of his skull removed in September 2011, four months after he started having vertigo symptoms. He returned to the tour in January.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR temporarily suspended driver AJ Allmendinger for a failed drug test, forcing Penske Racing officials to scramble to get Sam Hornish Jr. to the track before Saturday night’s race at Daytona International Speedway. Allmendinger’s suspension was announced about 90 minutes before the race by NASCAR senior vice president of racing operations Steve O’Donnell. Allmendinger’s “A” sample taken last weekend at Kentucky Speedway came back positive, and the driver has 72 hours to request his “B” sample be tested. “NASCAR has a strict drug testing program that Penske Racing fully supports. Penske Racing will work with NASCAR through this process and its next steps,” the team said in a statement. Penske Racing President Tim Cindric said NASCAR notified the organization Saturday afternoon, and the immediate focus became getting Hornish back from North Carolina, where he was about to do a live television show on the Speed Channel. Hornish finished 10th in Friday night’s Nationwide Series race, and the team sent a plane to get him back to Daytona, where Allmendinger was scheduled to start eighth. Hornish arrived about eight minutes before he needed to be in the car, and was aided by a police escort on the short drive from the Daytona airport. “It’s really been a whirlwind since we were notified, and we really just needed to get Sam back to Daytona,” Cindric told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. “We spoke briefly with AJ before he left, and we agreed we’d talk when we get back.” Cindric didn’t reveal details of the conversation with Allmendinger, and said the organization is still trying to digest the informa-

tion. “Certainly there’s no closure, and it’s just not that simple of a situation,” Cindric said. “We need to let the process take care of itself. It’s a situation we’ve never been in before, and when we were notified he failed the test, the next step really became getting Sam to Daytona and agreeing to table everything else until we’re all back.” Cindric is in Toronto for Sunday’s IndyCar Series race, and team owner Roger Penske has been on a European vacation. Bud Denker, senior vice president of Penske Corp., also wasn’t in Daytona. Allmendinger was hired in late December by Penske to fill the seat that opened when Kurt Busch split with the organization. It’s the most prolific ride of Allmendinger’s career, and both driver and team seemed thrilled with the pairing even as Allmendinger has had his struggles in the No. 22 Dodge. He was 23rd in the Sprint Cup Series standings heading into Daytona, where he won the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona sports car race in January shortly after his hiring at Penske. He’s the most prolific driver since Jeremy Mayfield in 2009 was suspended for a failed drug test. Mayfield has fought NASCAR over the test since, and has not raced a NASCAR event since. Asked if Penske Racing is supporting Allmendinger, Cindric indicated the team is behind its first-year driver. “He’s our driver and that why it’s important to understand all the facts,” Cindric said. “It’s very difficult to speculate on how it should be handled. On one side, we have personal relationships, and on the other, well, it’s a business side. We’ve not been through this before, and we just really want to understand this some more.”

RB Peterson arrested in Houston By KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer
HOUSTON — Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson was arrested on a charge of resisting arrest after an early morning incident where police say it took three officers to subdue him. Houston Police Department spokesperson Kese Smith said Peterson was at a downtown nightclub early Saturday morning when an off-duty Houston police officer working security asked Peterson and a group of people he was with to leave because it was closed. The man, who Kese said identified himselfasapoliceofficer,lefttotellother patrons to leave the club before returning to Peterson’s group to again tell them to leave.
Kese said Peterson turned around and told the officer that heheardhimthe first time and pushed him in the shoulder, Peterson causing him to stumble. The officer told Peterson he was under arrest and to put his hands behind his back. Peterson began yelling, pulled away and “assumed an aggressive stance” so another off-duty officer came to help. Peterson continued to struggle with them both. The 27-year-old player was finally handcuffed with the help of a third off-duty officer. Peterson complained of shortness of breath

Peterson, who is from Palestine, Texas, was released from jail Saturday on a $1,000 bond. The charge is a misdemeanor. Team spokesman Bob Hagan said Saturday the Vikings “are aware of the situation and are gathering more information.” Peterson ran for 970 yards and12 touchdowns last season before tearing the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee Dec. 24. The injury-shortened season broke a streak of four straight seasons with at least 1,200 yards rushing for the former Oklahoma standout.

That’s a big bass
By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com
With less than 10 minutes to fish in the first week of the Wednesday Night Bass Tournament at Harveys Lake on June 20, Brad Rinehimer wasn’t ready to give up. He already had one bass in the livewell but knew it wasn’t big enough to win the tournament, so Rinehimer made a few more casts toward the docks. And that’s when it struck. “At first I just felt weight and wasn’t sure if it was a fish,” the Plymouth resident said. “I set the hook, reeled in and when he came out of the water with his mouth open, I knew I had a tournament winner.” But Rinehimer wasn’t in the clear just yet. The fish hit at 8:54 p.m. and the weigh-in was in six minutes. If Rinehimer didn’t make it back to the boat launch by 9 p.m., he wouldn’t qualify. “My heart started pounding and the fish began diving under the boat and really fighting. I was so nervous it was going to get off,” he said. Rinehimer was able to get the fish in the boat and make it back to the launch at 8:59 p.m. The largemouth weighed in at 5.75 lbs. and was nearly a pound heavier than the second place bass, which weighed 4.81 lbs. “It was the biggest fish I ever caught and to do it in a tournament at Harveys Lake, it was a moment I’ll never forget,” Rinehimer said. During the first three weeks of the Harveys Lake tournament, the winning bass has either pushed or exceeded the five-pound mark each time. Greg Mikulski Jr. of Sweet Valley finished second to Rinehimer in the first week with a 4.81-pound largemouth. “It’s really off to a good start and there are a lot of nice fish in this lake,” Mikulski said. “Even the smallmouth bass can get big and quite often they’ll win the tournament.” Last Tuesday, the hot start to the tournament season at the lake continued with a 4.87 lb. largemouth caught by George Hogan taking first place. The tournament was shifted from its customary Wednesday night slot due to the July 4 holiday. Duke Dalley, who coordinates the tournament with John Niezgoda, isn’t surprised with the size or the number of fish brought in to the weigh-in each week. “I fish the lake a lot at night and in the early morning, and I’ve been catching a lot of nice fish so far,” Dalley said. Niezgoda said the tournament traditionally gets off to a hot start, especially with lunker largemouths, then changes after the fourth or fifth week. “Then you’ll start to see smallmouth bass winning each week,” Niezgoda said. “That’s what makes fishing here interesting. You have both largemouth and smallmouth

bass in this lake, so it’s unique.” Dalley and Niezgoda took over the tournament after it was close to coming to an end before the start of this summer. They’ve attracted close to 20 boats each week, and as word gets out that the tournament is up and running, Dalley and Niezgoda expect the numbers to increase. “This is a tradition and guys really like to fish this tournament,” Niezgoda said. “You really have some dedicated anglers fishing this lake who know what they’re doing, and that makes for good competition.” Mikulski has fished the Wednesday night tournament – which has been organized by different individuals over the years, for the last 10 years. He is joined by family members Greg Mikulski Sr., Gary Mikulski and friends Mike and Steve Phillips. “We all come out every week,” he said. “It’s something to do on a Wednesday and it’s a chance to fish and win a couple of bucks.” It’s also an opportunity to experience an exceptional bass fishery that is close to home, Rinehimer added. “The anglers in this tournament are so dedicated and it’s great having a lake this close where you can catch quality fish,” he said. “People travel to Tennessee to catch smallmouths that are five pounds or more, and we have them right here in Harveys Lake.” Niezgoda said the lake offers a variety of structure for different types of bass fishing, and most anglers focus on casting around docks or fishing the weedlines, deep or shallow. While he hopes interest grows and attracts more anglers, Niezgoda said the tournament has caught the attention of the locals who live around the lake. “We get spectators at the weighins and people come out on the docks all the time to ask how we’re doing and what we’re catching,” Niezgoda said. “They want to see the quality of fish that are found in Harveys Lake.”

It has been state Rep. Ed Staback’s pet project for 20 years, and even though the veteran legislator is retiring this November, the upcoming Junior Shooting Competition that he hosts each September likely won’t be the last. The competition began in 1992 when the term “assault rifle” became popular and semi-automatic sporting arms were lumped into the same category as military rifles. Staback, who is an avid hunter, didn’t agree with the broad label and he got together with other sportsmen to change the image. “We wanted to do something to shed light on what semi-auto sporting arms are all about,” Staback said. “We decided to have a competition for young people to teach them about proper firearm handling and safety.” The first year of the event, which is held at the shooting range on State Game Lands 300 on Archbald Mountain, 30 children ages 10 to 18 participated (See Outdoor Notes for more information). Staback said he hoped the event would eventually attract 100 youth annually, and as more organizations got involved so did more kids. Groups such as the Scranton Chapter of the National Rifle Association signed on to help, as did Jerry’s Sports Center in Forest City. Later, firearm manufacturers jumped on board and donated .22’s, 20-gauge shotguns and other small caliber rifles suitable for children. Trophies were handed out to the winners in each age category, plenty of prizes were given away and tons of homemade food was donated to feed everybody. Best of all, it didn’t cost the kids or their families a penny to participate. Soon, the competition grew each year until Staback finally had to limit it to 250 children. “We could get more than 300 easily, but we just can’t handle more than 250,” he said. “By August it’s filled.” Staback himself became so involved in the event that, outside of many of the bills he drafted during his 28 years serving the 115th District, the competition was his “pet project.” “I would do whatever I had to to make sure it was held every year,” he said. Counting parents, Staback said more than 600 people turn out for the event each year. It started out as a way to educate youth about firearms and has evolved into a tradition. And there’s more to it than letting the kids punch holes in targets. Each child is supervised one-on-one by a certified shooting instructor. Gun checks are conducted multiple times before the shooting begins, and Staback himself even gives a presentation on gun safety at the start of the day. At the end, after all the trophies and prizes are handed out, Staback said that’s when the true benefit of the competition sets in. “If some of these kids take this experience and decide they want to try hunting or stay involved in shooting sports, they will be well-schooled in proper firearm handling and safety,” Staback said. “That’s key.” Although Staback will retire this November from the state legislature, he will continue to be involved in the annual competition. “I’ve been at it for 20 years and I enjoy it more each year,” Staback said. “I love the feeling you get when a child wins one of the prizes or a trophy. They take it seriously and learn about gun safety in the process. “That’s why we’ll continue to keep it going as long as we can.” Two hundred and fifty kids are glad to hear that.

WIMBLEDON, England — The Brits know how to stage a coronation, and they’ll do so Sunday for either regal Roger Federer or one of their own, Andy Murray. Queen Elizabeth II has another commitment, but the former Kate Middleton and the British prime minister will be on hand to see who reigns at Wimbledon. Plenty of history will be written in the men’s final at tennis’ most tradition-rich tournament. Federer can add to his record 16 Grand Slam championships, and he would tie a record by winning Wimbledon for a seventh time. He also would claim the ATP’s top ranking for the first time since June 2010, and match Pete Sampras’ record of 286 weeks at No. 1. “There’s a lot on the line for me,” Federer said. Murray, meanwhile, is merely trying to become the first British man to win a Grand Slam title since Fred Perry took Wimbledon and the U.S. Championships in 1936. “It has been a great tournament so far,” Murray said. “I’ve just got to try to keep it together for the final.” Britain’s abuzz. Even without the queen, the Royal Box is certain to be packed, along with the rest of Centre Court. Tickets are going for more than 2,600 pounds ($4,000). Thousands have bought 8-pound ($12.40) grounds passes to picnic near Wimbledon’s practice courts on the grassy hill known these days as Murray Mount, watching the match on a huge video screen. Loyalties will be divided. Brits love Federer, the celebrated Swiss whose graceful game is so well suited to the All England Club. He’ll receive sentimental support because he has endured a reign delay, going 21⁄2 years without a major title while being eclipsed by Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Now, at 30, he could become the first thirtysomething man to win Wimbledon since Arthur Ashe in 1975. Allegiance for the stolid Murray is more a matter of geography, and even

then it’s complicated. He’s a native of Scotland, where there’s a campaign afoot to break away from Britain. Whenever Murray loses, the English tend to call him Scottish, not British. But for the moment, when it comes to lawn tennis, the United Kingdom is united. Brits invented the game and, in 1877, started Wimbledon. They’ve won the men’s title 35 times, more than any other country, but not since before World War II. And no British woman has won Wimbledon since Virginia Wade in 1977. Londoners have accepted the championship drought with good humor, especially where Murray is concerned. Waitresses at restaurants in Wimbledon village roll their eyes at the mention of his name. Last Sunday at the village’s Emmanuel Church, when the pastor noted from the pulpit that Brits are rooting for Murray, the congregation responded with groans and giggles. It doesn’t help that he has been beaten in the semifinals each of the past three years, nor that he has lost every set in his three Grand Slam finals, including against Federer at the 2008 U.S. Open and 2010 Australian Open. A breakthrough victory came Friday versus Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, making the 25-year-old Murray the first British man to reach the final since Bunny Austin in 1938. “People have been talking for 10 years that finally he was going to be the one to do it,” three-time Wimbledon champion John McEnroe said. “There were starting to be questions. He shut that talk down. It’s rather amazing, because some people were starting to wonder, including myself, whether this day would actually come.” A part-time resident of Miami, Murray said he draws inspiration from Miami Heat star LeBron James, who was much maligned before win-
ning his first NBA title last month. Murray has also benefited from the help of Ivan Lendl, his coach since the start of the year. Lendl lost the first four Grand Slam finals he played, then won eight major titles. The Scotsman speaks in a mumbling monotone, and on court he tends to go about his business like a condemned man. At the French Open in May, Wade described him as “a drama queen.” But while Murray’s no Federer when it comes to style, some find appeal in his broad repertoire of shots. “I love watching Andy play, because I think it’s so exciting,” said Serena Williams, who won her fifth women’s title Saturday. “You never know what he’s going to do. He’s running every ball down. He looks tired, and then he comes back. I think it’s awesome. He’s really one of my favorite people to watch. If that’s being a drama queen, it’s really exciting.” Murray’s accustomed to carrying the weight of a skeptical country’s hopes. Shouts from the stands of “Come on, Andy” have been common for years at Wimbledon, and are occasionally heard at matches where Murray’s not even a contestant. “There is obviously a lot of pressure and stress around this time of year,” he said. There will also be pressure on Federer, who’s mindful of his place in history. He beat defending champion Djokovic on Friday to reach the final for the first time since 2009, and now he has a chance to tie the tournament record of seven titles set in the 1880s by William Renshaw — an Englishman — and tied in 2000 by Sampras. “It’s a big match for me, and I hope I can keep my nerves,” Federer said. “I’m sure I can.” Like London bookmakers and most other observers, Sampras considers Federer the favorite. “But if Andy serves well and gets aggressive and can get the crowd behind him and use a little bit of destiny, he can pull it off,” said Sampras, speaking by phone from his home in Los Angeles. “Too bad it’s on at 5 in the morning. I’m going to have to TiVo it.”

court trophy ceremony. And why Williams squeezed tight during post-victory hugs with her parents and older sister Venus, who has five Wimbledon titles of her own — meaning that one pair of siblings who learned to play tennis on public courts in Compton, Calif., now accounts for 10 of the past 13 trophies. A few days after winning Wimbledon for the fourth time in 2010, Serena Williams cut both feet on broken glass while leaving a restaurant in Germany. She needed two operations on her right foot. Then she got blood clots in her lungs, for which she needed to inject herself with a blood thinner. Those shots led to a pool of blood gathering under her stomach’s skin, requiring another procedure. “That made her realize where her life was, really, and where she reallybelongedandthatshereally loved the game,” said Williams’ mother, Oracene Price. “You never appreciate anything until you almost lose it.” Against Radwanska, who was trying to be the first Polish Grand Slam singles champion, Williams was streaky at times, but also superb. She won the first five games and the last five. She compiled a 58-13 landslide of winners. She swatted 17 aces, including four at 114 mph, 107 mph, 115 mph, 111 mph in one marvelous game to pull even at 2-all in the third set. That was part of a momentumswinging run when Williams claimed 15 of 18 points, and that quartet of aces raised her total for the fortnight to a tournament-record 102, surpassing her own mark of 89 in 2010; it’s also more than the top number for any man this year at Wimbledon. “So many aces,” said Radwanska, whose two-week total was16, “and I couldn’t do much about it.” There had been a moment, ever so brief, when it appeared Williams might let Saturday’s match slip away. After she breezed through the first set on a day when the wind whipped and the temperature was in the mid-50s, rain arrived, causing a delay of about 20 minutes between sets. Radwanska, who’s been fighting a respiratory illness and blew her nose at a changeover, quickly fell behind 3-1 in the second set. Right there is where she made a stand.
WIMBLEDON, England — A look at Wimbledon on Saturday: Weather: Brief rain. Low of 57 degrees. Women’s Final: No. 6 Serena Williams beat No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 for her 14th Grand Slam championship. Stat of the Day: 102 — Aces hit by Williams at Wimbledon this year, breaking her tournament record of 89, set in 2010. Quote of the Day: “Growing up, I copied Venus, everything she did. She was a real big influence for me. So when she started winning, I wanted it so bad. When she became No. 1, I had to be No. 1.” — Williams, after matching her older sister with five Wimbledon singles titles. On Court Sunday: No. 3 Roger Federer vs. No. 4 Andy Murray. Sunday’s Forecast: Chance of rain. High of 68 degrees.
Williams was playing in her 18th major final; Radwanska in her first. Actually, she’d never won a match beyond the fourth round at a Grand Slam tournament until this week. So she acknowledged being “a little bit nervous in the beginning.” But the interruption let her “cool down a little bit,” explained Radwanska, who would have risen to No.1in the rankings by beating Williams but instead will be No. 2, behind Victoria Azarenka. “When I was going on the court the second time, I just felt like a normal match. Didn’t seem like a final anymore, so there was not that much pressure.” Radwanska played her usual steady game, and Williams began making more and more errors. A string of mistakes — swinging volley into the net, double-fault, backhand long, backhand into the net — let Radwanska break to even the match at one set apiece. What appeared to be a rather drab final, bereft of any drama, suddenly became interesting. “She got a little nervous out there, in my opinion. In the second set, I think she might have thought, ‘Well, I got this here,”’ said Williams’ father, Richard. He also suspected his daughter might have been feeling a twinge of self-doubt connected to her quick exit in late May at the French Open against a woman ranked 111th, Williams’ only firstround loss in 48 career major tournaments. Williams’ explanation for her dip against Radwanska? “I just got too anxious,” she said, “and I shouldn’t have been so anxious.”

Midlevel jobs go missing as market changes By DAN ZEHR Austin American-Statesman
AUSTIN, Texas -- Thirty years ago, around the time Keith Glass walked into his first semiconductor manufacturing facility, most of the operators wore lab coats. As microchips grew smaller -- and their fabrication grew more complex -- Glass and his colleagues traded their lab coats for ultra-clean “bunny” suits. Even then, in these factories that rode on the cutting edge of manufacturing technology, it still took humans to move wafers -- slices
of semiconductor materials -- from one machine to the next. Today, even the bunny suits are dwindling. Glass gets the same question virtually every time he leads a tour of Samsung Austin Semiconductor’s factory: Where are all the people? “All those old entry-level positions have been replaced by robots,” said Glass, the facility’s curriculum strategist. “An operator position is much higher and more technically advanced than it used to be. That person now sits in front of computer in-
stead of moving wafers by hand.” Samsung rarely hires anybody with less than an associate’s degree, he said. The same workforce changes Glass has witnessed in the past three decades have become increasingly symptomatic of a deeper transformation across the country’s middle-tier occupations. The swath of middle-skills jobs that once supported a robust American middle class has thinned, leading to more polarization of the job market. In the past three decades,
middle-skills occupations have dropped from nearly 60 percent of total U.S. employment to about 45 percent, according to research by Massachusetts Institute of Technology economics professor David Autor. The real bulk of job growth is bubbling up at the ends of the spectrum -in low-pay, low-skill jobs and in higher-wage, highly skilled occupations that more and more often require at least a four-year college degree.

More for milk?
Program designed to help save dairy farms
M
ONTPELIER, Vt. — Consumers will pay a little more for coffee and chocolate to ensure the farmers who produce those foods get a fair
wage, so why not ask them to pay more for milk? That is the notion behind a program designed to raise
money for struggling New England dairy farms while educating consumers about those family businesses. Keep Local Farms urges colleges, universities and other institutions in New England to charge a little more for milk, with the extra money going to farmers in the region. It is among a number of nongovernment programs being set up to try to preserve small, family-operated farms as consolidation continues in the dairy industry. While Vermont is best known for its milk and cheese products, dairy farms
page from the fair trade movement. Consumers who buy products labeled as fair trade pay a little bit more to provide workers with decent wages and sound environmental practices. Coffee and chocolate are among the most common fair trade items. Keep Local Farms — set up in 2009, a year of record low milk prices paid to farmers — figured the same idea could work in the dairy industry Six colleges and universities signed up, including Harvard and the University of Vermont, which contribute 10 cents for every singleserving container of milk sold. Boston Medical Center, Ski Vermont, some Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops and others also contribute to the program, while others, such as Roche Brothers and Hannaford supermarkets, have displayed signs about the importance of local dairy farms to
stretch across New England. But two-thirds have closed in the past 30 years because low milk prices have made it hard for farmers to cover their feed, fuel and labor costs. Some supporters are trying to help save the rest by borrowing a See MILK, Page 2D

Has your store run out of that special? Then take a rain check SO YOU WALKED into the store hoping to take advantage of the advertised halfprice sale on the Perdue chicken nuggets. But when you got to the freezer the
shelf was empty. Your first thought may have been, “darn it. That was a great deal I’m going to miss out on.” But think positive; that empty shelf can be a blessing. Continue shopping and before you leave the building, head to the courtesy counter and request a rain check. Yes, a rain check. Get them, use them, love them. The little slips of paper are better than a coupon and grow in value when you can combine them with a coupon. Rain checks have been around for a long time, but many shoppers aren’t
ANDREW M. SEDER STEALS & DEALS aware of them or don’t know how to get them. Each store has different rules and expiration dates for their slips. Usually they’re offered only for advertised items, not just on-sale items that aren’t in the circular or regular price items that are out of stock. Some stores will offer to substitute items instead of issuing a rain check. Grocers may require that rain checks be used within as little as a month. The terms are always listed clearly on the checks. Some stores, like CVS and Walgreens, offer rain checks that never expire. So if you see an empty shelf for an advertised item at a CVS or Walgreens, grab a rain check. That bottle of Liste-
rine that’s typically $4.99 but on sale for $2.99, in five years it may cost $8.99. But that rain check will entitle you to the $2.99 rate. If you don’t want to wait years, you can save more money if you search for coupons. If later you come across a $2 off coupon it’s only going to set you back 99 cents. My personal rule when it comes to rain checks is simple: “If you can get one, get one.” Three other rain check notes of interest: • You must present your rain check to the cashier before your purchase. • Some stores reserve the right to not issue rain checks on some bonus buys, limited quantity items and other merchandise. Each store has a coupon/rain check policy on hand. Review it before accepting a refusal. • Some stores will substitute an equivalent item of equal or higher

price. For example, Rite Aid was allowing customers to get a larger Dove Body Wash in place of a smaller bottle when it ran out a few weeks back. The larger bottle was worth $3 more. I took the deal, not the rain check. My reasoning? I wasn’t going to find a $3 off coupon in the next few weeks and the body wash isn’t going to expire in a few months.

WORKERS ARE about to get valuable information about their 401(k) -- specifically, how much they pay for it. The fee information has been around for years, plan experts say, but to find it, employees often must dig through prospectuses or plan documents. Most don’t bother. But thanks to a new federal regulation, 401(k) participants must receive an annual fee disclosure statement by the end of August. Between this new statement and additional mandated disclosures that will start appearing in quarterly statements this year, workers should be able to calculate how much of their nest egg is eaten up by fees. "Costs do matter," said Joseph Valletta with HR Investment Consultants in Towson, Md., and co-author of the "401k Averages Book," a fee comparison guide. "They aren’t the only driving force ... but you have to make sure your fees are reasonable." The disclosure statement could be an eye-opener for workers, particularly those who don’t realize they pay a plan provider to maintain their account -and 7 in 10 workers don’t know this, according to a study last year by the AARP. Of course, these workers will be surprised only if they read the new disclosure. Workers too often ignore paperwork, and some industry experts suggest that will happen in this case, too. But this could be a costly mistake. You can end up with tens of thousands of dollars less in your account by retirement because you didn’t notice that the mediocre funds you chose were the most expensive in the plan. Or you might be out big bucks because you didn’t know enough to lobby your employer to switch to a plan provider with lower fees. Consider the case of two workers with $30,000 in a 401(k), according to T. Rowe Price’s calculations. One pays 1.75 percent in annual fees; the other 0.75 percent. They make no more contributions and earn a 7 percent average annual return. After 35 years, the worker paying the higher fee would accumulate $179,844. But the other worker’s account would be worth $250,400, or $70,556 more. Plan experts say some workers have been getting fee information even before the new federal mandate. But participants in smaller plans are the least likely to get this information -and they are the workers most likely to pay high fees. The new federal regulations require service providers to tell employers by July 1 how much they receive from 401(k)s. The information is now being simplified into an annual statement provided to workers. Later this year, quarterly statements will reveal how much the worker paid during the quarter for administrative expenses. The disclosure statement is designed to help workers make investment choices. Let’s say you invest in a large-cap value fund with a 1.8 percent annual fee. But you see from the disclosure statement that a similar fund with comparable performance charges only 0.8 percent. In that case, why not switch to the cheaper fund? Of course, you need a diversified portfolio, so don’t put all your money in one fund with only one type of asset just because it’s the cheapest. Be aware that small plans with few workers and modest assets will be more expensive than a giant plan that can negotiate lower fees and spread costs among thousands of employees. The average total plan cost for small plans -- with 100 participants who have an average balance of $50,000 -- is 1.3 percent, according to the "401k Averages Book." The typical cost for large plans with 1,000 workers is 1.08 percent. If the total cost of your plan is higher than the average, you should ask your employer how your fees compare to other plans’, Valletta said.
Overtime problems popping up ATLANTA -- Those smartphones and BlackBerrys that enable work anytime, anywhere are increasingly blurring the lines between work life and personal life — and introducing the sticky issue of when overtime is owed to workers. The always-connected worker and the pressures of the uncertain economy have led many to feel they should always be working — because they can, thanks to the growing use of The alwayssmartphones. connected That’s allowing worker and work to bleed into the pressures evenings, weekends and even sleep, with of the uncertain econ- some people taking their phones and omy have led BlackBerrys to bed many to feel with them. The situation bethey should comes tricky for always be hourly employees, working — who qualify for overbecause they time. “We’ve gotten incan, thanks to to a place in our culthe growing ture where the more use of smart- you work, the better it is, and the more phones. you should be proud of it,” said attorney Amanda Farahany. “And so people don’t want to assert their overtime right.” Overtime laws are abused by companies “on a daily basis,” she said. But in some cases, that has led to lawsuits, seeking pay for what is sometimes called “BlackBerry overtime” or “electronic overtime.” For employers, “that’s an area of exposure and it’s coming like a freight train,” said attorney David Long-Daniels. By giving hourly employees BlackBerrys or access through iConnect or Citrix, “you’ve implicitly told them to work,” he said. Long-Daniels advises companies not to allow hourly employees and others who qualify for overtime to use BlackBerrys or remote access to their work computers, unless they’re told to record time when using the devices and the company has a system in place to record the hours.

ondary training, like an associate’s degree.” Holzer doesn’t see as much hollowing-out as Autor, but he agreed that technology might be the biggest culprit in the contraction of middle-tier jobs. According to Autor’s research, computers and robots have replaced many “routine” tasks, many of them clerical (replaced by information technology) or manufacturing (replaced by robotic technologies). Employment at the ends of the skills and wages range grew from 1979 to 2009, Autor found. But over the same period, middle-skills jobs dipped to 45.7 percent of total U.S. employment -- down from 57.3 percent. Economic downturns have been especially hard on this middle tier, according to economics associate professors Nir Jaimovich at Duke University and Henry Siu at the University of British Columbia. Since the mid-1980s, they found, 92 percent of the job loss in middle-skills occupations occurred within 12 months of a recession. And jobless recoveries, such as the one the nation is in now, are almost solely due to the disappearance of midtier jobs, they said.

the wide and growing crosssection of the population who possess low- or midlevel skills, the country faces a “hollowing out” of the job market’s middle tier, as MIT’s Autor described it. Though economists debate the severity of the changes, few argue that a mismatch exists -- a mismatch that presents a critical economic, social and political challenge. Definitions of this middle tier can vary, in part because “middle-skills” and “middlewage” don’t always refer to the same set of occupations. Broadly speaking, though, middle-skills jobs require more than high-school diplomas -whether that’s specialized onthe-job training or formal certifications, such as associate’s degrees. High-skill jobs typically require four-year college degrees. “It’s a different middle now, and we have to change our thinking about what constitutes the middle,” said Harry Holzer, public policy professor at Georgetown University. “Middle-wage jobs almost all require some sort of post-sec-

local economies, tourism and in providing land for recreation. “It’s really from whole cloth. This didn’t exist. There isn’t really an example of this kind of program for dairy at least,” said Diane Bothfeld, deputy secretary of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, which worked with the New England Family Dairy Farms Cooperative and the New England Dairy Promotion Board to launch the program. In Wisconsin, another top dairy state, Family Farm Defenders sells fair trade cheese for about $6 a pound, guaranteeing that the farmers who provide the milk get paid $3 for every pound
Among the lawsuits over electronic overtime is one filed last year in U.S. District Court in Atlanta against Amerisave Mortgage Corp. by former employees. In the case, which has been granted conditional class-action status, senior mortgage processors claim they routinely worked more than 40 hours a week without getting overtime, and that Amerisave was aware employees used their phones and other devices to answer calls and email but did not track the time. Amerisave denies those allegations. The discovery period just ended in that case. Jason Zulauf and his brother, Jeffrey Zulauf, who are among the workers suing Amerisave, said they worked on commission and didn’t realize they could qualify for overtime. Jason Zulauf said the computer system Amerisave employees used to work from home would automatically clock them out after 40 hours, but they were told by managers to “back down” their hours — or adjust them downward — so they could work more hours to make more commission. An attorney representing Amerisave, Jeff Mokotoff, said the company has “clear, unequivocal written policies that require the employees to record all the time that they work.” The Zulaufs said they worked as many as 15 to 16 hours a day, six days a week. “We had no life,” Jason Zulauf said. “It took a lot of time away from our families.” Farahany, who is the Zulaufs’ attorney, said that “most people don’t realize the rights they have under the overtime laws.”

“We’ve gotten into a place in our culture where the more you work, the better it is, and the more you should be proud of it. And so people don’t want to assert their overtime right.” Attorney Amanda Farahany
The overtime law, part of the Fair Labor Standards Act, was enacted during the Great Depression to “make it more expensive for an employer to make one person work more than to simply hire another person,” Farahany said. “Over time, companies have simply eroded that law, and we’re back in a place now where employees are out of work.” Companies call that increased productivity, a driver of economic growth. Farahany contends that if companies follow the overtime law, “It will bring people back to work. It worked in the Great Depression.” The Amerisave case follows
similar cases in other parts of the country, including one filed against T-Mobile USA Inc. in 2009, in which employees and former employees alleged they were given company BlackBerrys or smart phones and “required to review and respond to T-Mobile-related emails and text messages at all hours of the day, whether or not they were punched into T-Mobile’s computer-based timecard system.” In a complaint filed against commercial real estate firm CB Richard Ellis, an employee claimed he and other employees were given BlackBerrys and other devices to access work-related emails.
OFFICE COACH
Control overreaction to noisy office mate Q.: I share an office with a woman who makes all kinds of irritating noises. She is constantly coughing, burping and clearing her throat. I have mentioned this problem in a nice way, but she continues to do it. Our supervisor has not been helpful at all. I know I should not let this get to me, but these sounds are so disruptive that I can’t concentrate on my work. After listening to her for eight hours, I go home stressed and angry every day. I am about to lose my mind. What can I do? A.: While these ongoing physical rumblings could certainly be annoying, I’m afraid the real issue is your overreaction to them. If you are allowing this rather minor issue to make you “stressed and angry every day,” then you are really blowing it out of proportion. You may not realize that one contributing factor in this situation is your own sensitivity to sound. Physiologically, people vary quite a bit in their ability to screen out background noise. Some can easily ignore it, while others, such as yourself, are acutely aware of every sound in the room. If your office mate was playing a radio or using a speakerphone, you could rea-
sold. The farmers set the price to cover the cost of production plus a living wage. The group sells $30,000 to $50,000 worth of cheese each year, providing about 30 farms with an estimated $500 to $1,000 a year, executive director John Peck said. The challenge is expanding the sales, he said. In Vermont, where farming is tied to tourism, residents want to help farmers, said Marie Audet, who with her husband owns Blue Spruce Farm in Bridport. Their farm was one of the first in the state to produce electricity from methane gas from cow manure. Green Mountain Power customers who want to support such renewable energy projects pay a premium on their electricity bills, with the money going to
If you are allowing this rather minor issue to make you “stressed and angry every day,” then you are really blowing it out of proportion. sonably ask her to reduce the volume, but these bodily responses are largely beyond her control. The key to serenity, therefore, is learning to manage your own emotional reactions, because right now you are primed to be angry at the first hint of a cough. To distract yourself, try using headphones or playing a radio at low volume. When you hear noises emanating from the other side of the room, just shift your attention to the music. If you keep this up, it will eventually become a habit, and you will be able to go home in a calmer state of mind. Q: I work for a temporary service, but I’m often overlooked for the best assignments. Many of my co-workers get full-time positions, while I usually work only a couple of days a week. Sometimes the placement supervisor says there are no jobs available, then I later find out this wasn’t true. I have been with this service a long time, but seniority doesn’t seem to matter. A new employee was recently given a great assignment that
help dairy farmers buy generators that run on methane. “They don’t have to do that, but they know that part of being in Vermont is the open working landscape,” Audet said. Still, Robert Cropp, a dairy marketing specialist and professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, doubted most people would pay more for milk or other products to support family farms. “Most consumers are far removed from the farm,” Cropp said. “They don’t understand agriculture and how food is produced and things of this sort.” Keep Local Farms raised $220,000 over two years. After paying taxes, it sent $100 checks to 1,370 farms — or about 75 percent of the dairies left in New England. It’s rethinking that ap-
would have been perfect for me. How can I get them to give me more work? A: While you may be focused on seniority, your agency is only concerned with performance. Because pleasing customers is their primary goal, the most highly rated employees are likely to receive the prime positions. Your lack of work may indicate that management has concerns about your competence, your attitude, or your work habits. Since management’s opinion of you will be based on both customer feedback and their own observations, you must be consistently pleasant, professional and dependable in all your business transactions. But if you feel that you have no problems in this regard, then you should simply ask what you can do to get better assignments and pay close attention to the answer. Marie G.

proach after hearing from farmers, and might provide grants that could help multiple farms rather than individual payments. “We had far more success than we expected, and yet it wasn’t enough to be meaningful to the pockets of dairy farmers on a long-term basis,” said Gary Wheelock, executive director of the New England Dairy Promotion Board. He added, “What we heard over and over ... was we want to enhance public understanding about who we are and what we do. The money’s great, but if we don’t have a license to farm, if people don’t understand who we are, and our ability to farm in our local communities is reduced, it threatens the viability of our farms.”

Where to find value in European stocks
Second quarter
InsiderQ&A
RICH SPENDING Financial analysts are getting more doubtful that the wealthy will keep spending. Volatile stock markets mean wealthy shoppers are more cautious, and Europe’s economic troubles could mean fewer tourists visiting U.S. department stores, says Citi analyst Deborah Weinswig. She recently downgraded Saks (SKS), Bloomingdale’s parent Macy’s (M) and Nordstrom (JWN) on worries about slowing spending. Sales at luxury retailers, though, did perform better than others during June. Saks’ revenue at stores open more than a year rose 6 percent.
DEEP IMPACT JPMorgan Chase (JPM) wasn’t the worst stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index last quarter, but it caused the most damage. That’s because of the way the index is calculated, where changes in a company’s market size carry more weight than its stock price. So even though Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) plunged 43 percent, the most in the index, it had a minor impact on investors of S&P 500 index funds. The company’s small size meant it lost $1.5 billion in market value, just 0.3 percent of the index’s drop last quarter. JPMorgan Chase, meanwhile, fell by $40 billion. It alone accounted for 9 percent of the index’s drop.
STAYING STILL Vanguard 401(k) assets Big swings in the market percent invested in target-date retirement funds tested investors last year, and many retirement investors reacted by doing 15% nothing. Among those with 12 401(k) plans at Vanguard, for example, only 11 percent made a trade in 9 their account. That’s the lowest level since 6 Vanguard began tracking the data in 1999. One reason may be that 3 more investors are opting for target-date retirement funds that gradually shift 0 ’07 ’08 ’09 ’10 ’11 from stocks to bonds as Source: Vanguard retirement nears.

Yields, mortgage rates sink again
winners & losers
What separates the winners from the rest of the pack in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, or the losers for that matter? It’s all about profits, or at least expectations for the strength of future profits. In the second quarter, the three biggest winners all
rose more than 40 percent because the companies are enjoying, or are expected to experience greater product demand. The losers all fell 40 percent or greater on worries that previous earnings expectations were overly optimistic.

Charles de Vaulx Who he is: Chief investment officer of International Value Advisers. What he suggests: Stocks of many small- to mid-sized European companies

Where does a value investor find opportunity in Europe these days? You must be very selective. What has been striking around the world and in Europe is how the markets have recently been efficient at discriminating between high-quality defensive stocks versus more mediocre or cyclical businesses. Examples of such defensive stocks include global food companies, such as Nestle and Sodexo, and Diageo, the United Kingdombased liquor producer. The prices of some of these stocks have risen so much that they’re at or near all-time highs. At IVA, we have a bias toward highquality businesses. We’d rather pay up for quality than try to pay as little as possible at the risk of buying into mediocre businesses. So unfortunately, we haven’t been able to buy the highest-quality businesses in Europe because they haven’t come down in price enough for us.

Charles de Vaulx is a value-oriented mutual fund manager who invests in stocks that he believes are priced at a discount relative to a company’s prospects. Much of Europe is in a recession, so the continent might not seem an obvious place to find strong earnings. But the co-manager of IVA Worldwide and IVA International is finding opportunities in stocks of small- to mid-sized European companies that generate plenty of their sales outside of Europe. Here’s de Vaulx’s take on investing in Europe as its leaders struggle to contain the continent’s debt crisis.

So what’s a good alternative to large-cap, high-quality European stocks? We’ve been looking at smalland mid-cap stocks. Those stocks are less liquid and traded less frequently, and they’ve declined to the point where they’ve become cheaper than the larger names. One that we like is Teleperformance, a French-based global company that operates call centers. The bulk of their profits come from the U.S. Then there’s a French conglomerate called Lagardere Groupe, and Cap Gemini, an information technology services company. Some of these names have come down in price enough that we find them quite attractive.

What about European bank stocks, which have struggled during the debt crisis? We bought very small position late last year in Switzerland-based UBS. It’s a very well-capitalized bank, especially with its strong private wealth business. But we’ve looked at Spanish banks like Banco Santander, and the French and German banks, and they strike us as grossly undercapitalized. We are appalled by how slowly European regulators and policymakers have moved since early 2009. They forgot to force banks to recapitalize. American policymakers did much better in early 2009 forcing many U.S. banks to recapitalize.

Dividends keep rising, and payouts increased by a net of $12 billion last quarter, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. That’s good news for yield-hungry investors who are getting scant interest from their bonds. Dividend stocks are more volatile than bonds, but many now carry higher yields. A 10-year Treasury note yields about 1.6 percent, down from 5.2 percent five years ago. This screen shows the companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index that have at least doubled their dividends so far this year. Leading the list is software company CA Technologies, which announced in January that it would quintuple its dividend as part of a program that also authorized up to $1.5 billion in stock buybacks. CA’s hike is part of a growing dividend culture among technology stocks. The industry contributes 13.8 percent of all the dividends paid by S&P 500 companies. That’s second only to consumer staples companies at 14.4 percent.

Worries about the weakening global economy keep pulling Treasury yields lower, which drags down rates on various types of consumer loans and savings accounts. The average rate on a 30year fixed mortgage, for example, fell to 3.62 percent last week from 3.66 percent. It has fallen to a new record, or matched a previous one, in 10 of the last 11 weeks, according to Freddie Mac.

Q A
Bankruptcy 101 Companies in or near bankruptcy may look like can’t-lose investments due to their often very low prices, but they’re usually best avoided. A company typically files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection only when it’s having trouble paying its bills and has little choice. Under Chapter 11, it can continue to operate while it reorganizes. With any luck, it will get its act together and become stronger than before, as General Motors has done. If the company cannot generate enough capital to pay off its creditors, it will likely end up in Chapter 7 — getting liquidated. In Chapter 11, the company remains in possession of its assets, under the administration of a courtappointed trustee. It must file a plan of reorganization with the bankruptcy court. If any creditors are to receive less than full value for their claims, they can vote on the matter. After the vote, the court can accept or reject the plan. Thus, the company has some flexibility, but if it deals

too harshly with various creditors, its plan isn’t likely to be approved. In most cases, the company will have to sell off assets to raise money to pay creditors. The proceeds usually won’t be enough to pay all prioritized creditors in full, so creditors might accept a reduced amount of money, and/or some stock in the new, reorganized company. Meanwhile, holders of common stock in the company are not anywhere near the front of the line. They’re behind debt holders, merchant creditors, trustees, employees, the IRS and even preferred-stock shareholders, and their shares usually end up worthless. Even insiders’ stock stakes usually do. Some companies in Chapter 11 do emerge from it and survive (such as Western Union and Delta Airlines) — but many don’t (think Enron, Worldcom and Polaroid). And with those that do, it’s rare for shareholders to benefit. Some of those that survive, like Lehman Brothers, just end up in trouble again. Steer clear of companies in trouble. (Motley Fool newsletters have recommended General Motors and Western Union.)

No Revenue, Either
Invest With Warren Buffett
I read a short article in some publication about how White Smile Global was going to hit the $2 range within the next couple of weeks, when it was trading for roughly 90 cents per share. Like an idiot, I succumbed to my greed and bought in without really doing my homework. Well, the stock fell to less than 25 cents per share and has recently been around 50 cents. There seems to be something fishy here — S., online The Fool Responds: Not doing your homework cost you a lot here. First off, know that penny stocks — those trading for less than about $5 per share, tend to be extremely risky, offering hopes and promises instead of solid track records. They can be easily manipulated sometimes, too, by hypers and scammers. This tooth-whitening company’s latest earnings report discusses many plans, but also notes, “We have not generated any revenues since inception.” Yikes! Companies without earnings are risky enough, but this one has no revenue, either. Why take such chances when there are healthy, growing companies out there that are undervalued?

When you hear “Berkshire Hathaway” (NYSE: BRK-B), you’ll probably think “Warren Buffett.” Buffett is only one part of why Berkshire Hathaway might be a key component of your portfolio, though. At its core, Berkshire Hathaway is an insurance company, owning the gecko-fronted GEICO, as well as more specialized insurance operations. But it’s also a railroad operator, having bought BNSF. And it’s a chocolatier, with See’s Candies. It’s also an energy utility, a paint company, an underwear manufacturer, a furniture seller, a modularhome builder, a fine-jewelry seller, a boot maker and much more. (You’ll find a list of its subsidiaries at berkshirehathaway.com.) It’s also an asset manager, with a massive stock portfolio that includes some big positions. Indeed, it owns 8.8 percent of the whole Coca-Cola company, 7.6 percent of Wells Fargo, 5.5 percent of IBM and 13 percent of American Express. (By the way, The Motley Fool owns shares of these companies — and Berkshire Hathaway itself — and/or has recommended them in its newsletters.)

The Motley Fool
What does it mean if a company has a “poison pill” strategy? — B.L., Hartford, Conn. A company may employ such a strategy to avoid being taken over. In one version of it, shareholders (but not a would-be acquirer) are permitted to buy more shares of company stock at a discount. This dilutes the value of the stock, including those shares held by the acquirer, making a buyout more difficult and expensive to pull off. Another poison-pill tactic is to permit shareholders to buy the would-be acquirer’s stock at a discount in the event of a merger. Shareholders have sometimes protested poison pills because they dilute the voting power of shares and because sometimes a takeover would actually be good for the company and shareholders. Some companies with poison pill plans have gotten rid of them, as Time Warner did in 1991. *** How long must I keep financial records for tax purposes? — R.B., Adrian, Mich. Keep copies of all your tax returns forever. Keep canceled checks, bank statements and receipts for at least three years, ideally seven — printing out copies if you receive them electronically. (Hang on to checks related to next year’s tax return for an extra year.) Retain stock trade confirmation receipts and statements for as long as you own the stock and for at least three years (ideally seven) after you close out your position (usually by selling). Keep proof of improvements to property for at least three years after the sale of the property. Keep escrow closing documents (for both the purchase and sale of property) for at least three years (again, ideally seven) after the property is sold. Think twice before you throw anything out.

COMMENTARY KATHLEEN PARKER
“This is not getting ready to die. This is living — living now, living tomorrow, making the best possible life with what you have.”
Judge based on deeds, not words
— Robin Stawasz, family services director at Southern Tier Hospice and Palliative Care
anchor’s point: Namely, that there is something sad about yelling, “We’re number one!” when you are, in fact, not. But – and a character on the show reminds McAvoy of this – we can be, always. The potential of it lies in America’s endless capacity for reinvention, the path to it in America’s matchless sense of mission. The nation always has risen to the challenge of greatness when it had a goal, a purpose to unite behind, a thing to get done. That is the story of the Revolution, the Union victory, the Great Depres-
CAMDEN – SOUTH CAROLINA politics never fails to amuse – and bemuse. A recent ethics imbroglio between Republican Gov. Nikki Haley and GOP activist John Rainey is a case in point. The squabble would be of passing provincial interest if Haley weren’t a rising star often mentioned on lists of potential vice presidential candidates. And had she not called Rainey, a nationally recognized philanthropist and community bridge-builder, a “racist, sexist bigot.” Such charges deserve clarification and context. Haley made the remarks during a state House Ethics Committee hearing that was prompted by a complaint Rainey filed alleging that Haley had lobbied illegally while she was a legislator. Haley has been cleared of any wrongdoing and there’s no need to re-litigate here, though Rainey promises that the issue is not dead. Meanwhile, her invectives toward Rainey, though perhaps understandable given an exchange between them (about which more anon), are contradicted by his record. Rainey is anything but racist, sexist or bigoted. Haley’s feelings apparently had been hurt during her one meeting with Rainey while she was a gubernatorial candidate. She had sought the meeting, doubtless hoping for financial and political support, but Rainey was skeptical. He knew nothing about her at the time, he told me, and couldn’t find anyone who did. Everyone he spoke to said the same thing in so many words: “I don’t know anything about her, but I know she’s the party’s candidate and I support her.” “That,” Rainey told me, “is the kind of thing that makes me want to throw up.” Party loyalty over all other considerations is what ails American politics, he said. In questioning Haley at the meeting, Rainey indicated that all cards needed to be on the table, that he didn’t want to find out at some point that her family had ties to terrorists. Haley, who is of Sikh Indian descent, clearly took offense. Nevertheless, she wrote a nice note to him, Rainey said, remarking that she never showed any indication of offense during their meeting until he raised questions about her lobbying activities. “That was the end of the meeting,” Rainey said, but his curiosity was further piqued. He began probing her past and raised questions about what he viewed as ethical transgressions. Rainey doesn’t recall making the specific “terrorist” remark, but takes the word of others present that he did. Any such comment, he insists, would have been in a “jocular, expansive fashion,” rather than mean-spirited. Rainey is known to be outspoken and irreverent, but also as a scrapper for fairness and reconciliation. Comments offered in jest or offhandedly nonetheless can be wounding, which Rainey acknowledges and now has experienced. Inarguably, the governor’s charges, made publicly and aimed at a citizen, albeit a powerful one, are far more damaging than whatever Rainey said during a private meeting. Judge as you might, but consider the following facts before accepting Haley’s indictment of Rainey. For no personal gain, Rainey frequently has raised money and organized groups in common cause across party lines. He and wife, Anne, marched in 2000 with 46,000 others to protest the Confederate flag, which then flew atop the South Carolina Capitol dome. He personally hosted several private meetings with NAACP and legislative leaders to find a compromise for the flag’s removal. He served as executive producer

Taking back the
END OF LIFE With boomers coming, hospice industry diversifies By HOLLY RAMER Associated Press
F
orget that image of a hospice worker sitting next to a hospital bed in a dimly lit room. Today, hospice care is delivered everywhere from the golf course to the casino. As they brace for the eventual needs of the aging baby boom generation, hospice providers are working to diversify their services and dispel misconceptions about what they do.
Chief among those myths is the notion that hospice consists of friendly visitors who sit in a darkened room and hold Grandma’s hand while she dies, says Robin Stawasz, family services director at Southern Tier Hospice and Palliative Care in upstate New York. “It’s just not what we do. We come in and help people go golfing or go snowbird down to Florida, or go out to dinner several nights a
week. We help them get to the casinos on weekends,” she said. “This is not getting ready to die. This is living — living now, living tomorrow, making the best possible life with what you have.” According to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, an estimated 1.58 million patients received hospice care from more than 5,000 programs nationwide in 2010, more than double the number of
patients served a decade earlier. More than 40 percent of all deaths in the United States that year were under the care of hospice, which provides medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support to patients with terminal illnesses. Both figures have grown steadily and are expected to rise as baby boomers — the See HOSPICE, Page 2E
America the greatest? Not without a mission. CAN YOU say why America is the greatest country in the world? The question proceeds of course, from an assumption, i.e., that America is, indeed, the greatest nation on Earth. When it is posed by a chipper college student to Will McAvoy, the dyspeptic cable news anchor played by Jeff Daniels in the new HBO series “The Newsroom,” he gores that assumption with acid glee. By no standard – or at least, no standard he cares to acknowledge – does McA-
COMMENTARY
LEONARD PITTS JR. voy believe America is still the world’s greatest nation. Freedom? That’s hardly unique, he says, noting that Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan are all free. And he ticks off a number of other measures – literacy, life expectancy, math, exports, infant mortality – by which, he says, America now lags much of the world. Therefore, he says, America is, in fact, not the greatest nation on the planet. There is something telling
and true in the crestfallen expressions with which the audience greets that declaration. It’s as if someone has switched off the sun. America believes in nothing quite so deeply as its own greatness. There is something quintessentially us about that belief. The Japanese, we might presume, love Japan. Surely the Canadians feel a swelling pride at the sight of their flag and the Spanish stand a little straighter at the playing of their national anthem. But does any other nation feel the need to so routinely assure itself and remind others that it is the most excellent of them all?
“America,” says Sean Hannity with numbing regularity, is “the best, greatest nation God has ever given man on the face of the Earth.” It might be said, that the seed of American greatness lies in the very need to be great, to raise the foam index finger and chant “USA! USA!” – to live up to our own self-image. Unfortunately, the seed of American self-delusion lies in the same place. To read the test scores, to watch the clown show that passes for TV news, to walk the boarded up streets of downtown Wherever, USA., to talk to a father about his kids’ future, is to take the fictional news

sion, the Second World War, the Marshall Plan, the Berlin airlift, the Civil Rights Movement, the moon landing. So what is our mission now? What is the goal toward which we strive in 2012? And therein lies the problem: you don’t know either, do you? Bill Clinton did mention something about a bridge to somewhere or other. George W. Bush was handed a mission – fighting terrorism – on a golden tray and bungled it. President Obama, unlike candidate Obama, has yet to articulate a goal that excites and unites. Like a knife’s blade, greatness requires a whetstone to sharpen itself against. No whetstone presents itself in a nation where, as McAvoy notes, people define them-
selves by who they voted for in the last election, a nation whose depth of division and lack of unifying principle now poison the very air, a nation where, to speak of greatness is, increasingly, to speak of history. But what of the future? That will require mission and purpose, the realization that who we are is bound up in the things – audacious and spectacular things – we come together to get done. We ought to spend more time deciding what those things will be, and less reassuring ourselves of our own wonderfulness. True greatness, after all, is not declared. It is achieved.

HOSPICE Continued from Page
78 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964 — get older. “It’s a complicated time and an exciting time, but it’s also, in many ways, going to be a very daunting time for hospices to try to find ways to take care of all these people,” said Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of the national hospice group. For the vast majority of patients, hospice means periodic visits at home from a team of hospice workers. A much smaller percentage receives continuous nursing care at home or inpatient care at a hospice house. Hospice is covered under Medicare, Medicaid, and most private health insurance plans. According to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, 84 percent of patients receiving hospice care in 2010 were covered by Medicare. The vast majority of those patients received routine home care — visits from hospice workers as opposed to aroundthe-clock nursing care or inpatient care — and at that level of care, the Medicare reimbursement was about $126 per day, according to the organization. Medicare covers hospice care if a doctor determines someone has fewer than six months to live and if the patient forgoes any further life-prolonging treatment, though under the new federal health care overhaul law, it will experiment with covering both curative and supportive care at a number of test sites nationwide. In the meantime, hospice programs are growing in number and scope. Recognizing that people are living longer and with complex illnesses, they’ve been branching out into other “pre-hospice” areas for patients who are not terminally ill. For example,

some centers have become certified as so-called PACE providers, an acronym that stands for “program of all-inclusive care for the elderly.” “Hospices are trying to throw a broader net out to provide services to people before they become eligible for hospice,” Schumacher said. Another trend is focusing on patients with specific diagnoses. While hospices for decades overwhelmingly cared for people with cancer, by 2010, cancer diagnoses had dropped to 36 percent of patients served, prompting some centers to develop programs geared toward heart disease, dementia and other diagnoses. “We are realizing that while our roots were really in oncology, that model is not the best response for all patients,” Stawasz said. “We needed to really look again at how we were doing things. It is not a one-size-fits-all kind of treatment plan,” she said. After working with providers and patients to figure out where traditional hospice had been missing the mark, Stawasz’s agency launched its specialized program for patients who have suffered heart failure in 2009. While there’s usually a clear line between medical treatment and comfort care for cancer patients, things get blurry with other conditions, she said. So the agency started focusing on the reason behind each service, rather than the service itself. “If the real focus is to help someone stay comfortable, then that’s hospice, even if it’s traditionally something a little bit more aggressive, such as IV antibiotics or IV diuretics or that sort of thing, or hospitalizations,” she said. “So if the goal is for comfort and the treatment has a reasonable expectation to provide meaningful comfort, then that’s hospice.” Though he praises such programs, one expert in end-of-life is-
THE TIMES LEADER sues says the hospice industry and American society as a whole are far from ready for the aging baby boom generation. Unless caring for people at the end of life becomes a larger part of the national agenda, the rising tide of elders is bound to result in a flood of unmet needs, said Dr. Ira Byock, director of palliative medicine at New Hampshire’s DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center. He points out that while the number of people using hospice has grown, the average length of stay actually dipped slightly in 2010 compared with the previous year, raising concerns that providers aren’t reaching patients and their family caregivers in a timely manner. “We often quip that in hospice care these days, we’re doing brink-of-death care rather than end-of-life care,” Byock said. When it comes to illness, dying, and death, the American mindset is “I don’t want to think about it.” But Byock hopes baby boomers will “take back” the end of life in the same way they took charge of the beginning by pushing for the natural childbirth movement and efforts to bring fathers into the delivery room. “It was driven by the boomers as citizens and consumers; it was an advocacy movement. A very similar thing needs to happen now,” he said. Hospice workers say they are more ready than other health care providers to deal with baby boomers and whatever changes health care reform brings because they’ve been working with limited budgets for years. “We’ve been meeting that triple threat of providing better care with higher patient satisfaction for less money,” Stawasz said. “I think hospice is perhaps standing as a model for others as we are dealing with the challenges of the increased needs that baby boom-

ers represent.” Laurie Farmer of the Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association agrees. And she adds that hospice is all about providing individualized care, something that baby boomers likely will demand. “The baby boom generation comes as very educated consumers, and so we are feeling that we have been meeting that challenge,” she said. At age 70, Liz Murphy, of Deerfield, N.H., is a few years older than the oldest baby boomers. But like many of the baby boomers served by the Concord hospice program, she did her homework before deciding several weeks ago to move into the program’s hospice house. Murphy, a longtime Statehouse lobbyist, was found several years ago to have an extremely rare cancer of the connective tissue that settled mainly in her bones but also has spread to her brain, liver and other organs. She started considering hospice after a spate of surgeries just weeks apart resulted in no improvements. Murphy said she knew where the hospice house was, but beyond that, knew little about it before she started looking into it. But once she did, she made her decision quickly. “I talked it through with my husband and my children and anybody else who I thought would have an interest in it, and I feel as though I got information from as many people as I needed. I came and looked at it, and I’m very happy with it,” she said. “It’s been great. I love the place. I’ve been very fortunate that the people who are here are people who are happy to work with me, and are interested in working together with my family, my husband and me to give us the program we’re interested in.”

OUR OPINION: MEDAL WORTHY?
Pick contenders from pretenders
O
LYMPIC DREAMS WILL crystallize, or crumble, later this month in London as the Games of the XXX Olympiad get under way. Inspired by the pending arrival of this international sporting contest, we fancied in what athletic event each of the following individuals or things would compete – were they so gifted with the talent. • Gov. Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee for president. Fencing. He seems perpetually en garde and poised to stick it to his opponent at every opportunity. But he’s way too refined for boxing. • The city of Scranton, which this month reportedly lacks enough money to pay its employees more than minimum wage. Diving. It spends most of its time underwater. • Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton, who recently admitted to frequenting the city’s fuel tanks without ever logging how much he dispensed into his personal vehicle. Marathon. This guy never runs out of gas. • Wilkes-Barre Parking Authority members, whose recent closed-door meeting with the mayor apparently will trigger a sequence of events leading to the removal of certain members and possible reorganization of the city’s parking assets: garages, meters and lots Water polo. You know there’s lots of bruising action taking place in the pool; but most of it occurs below the surface, out of public view. • Laureen Cummings, the little-known Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania’s 17th Congressional District, who faced no opponent in the primary. Equestrian. She’ll need lots of cash just to compete. • Wilkes-Barre City Council, some of whose current and former members were in the spotlight earlier this year for collecting generous, taxpayer-funded meal allowances (sans receipts) after attending conferences. Rhythmic gymnastics. They might not medal, but who cares? Pack your bags, dude! Free lodging in London! • Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty. Synchronized swimming. When is this guy not treading water? (See above: “The city of Scranton.”) • President Obama. Triple jump. Health care. Immigration. Jobs. Any one could trip him up. • Paige Selenski, 24, a former Luzerne County resident and Dallas High School alumna. Field hockey. The real deal. She’s expected to be part of the squad when it takes on Germany on July 29. Go, USA!
QUOTE OF THE DAY “We should all bet on the country, but we shouldn’t double down on Barack Obama.” Tim Pawlenty The former Minnesota governor, and potential Republican vice presidential nominee, trailed President Obama’s campaign through Ohio last week, contending the country can’t afford four more years of ineffective economic recovery efforts.
OTHER OPINION: PA. LEGISLATURE
Fast-track gov’t leaves us in dark
T
HE BIG PHYSICS news last week was not the announcement of the Higgs boson, which could explain how the universe began, but something closer to home: the speed of light with which Harrisburg lawmakers passed 60 bills in their frenzy to make the governor’s budget deadline. As reported in the Inquirer, the General Assembly fasttracked bills that few members actually had time to read. Some were complex, like a moratorium on gas drilling in southeastern Pennsylvania. More egregiously, they passed these bills by forgoing their own rule that prohibits debate after 11 p.m. That rule was a cornerstone in a set of reforms following the scandal in 2005 over legislative pay raises that effectively were passed in the middle of the night, with no hearings. The state’s gaming law also was the result of such midnight madness. As a result of the public outrage over this practice, thenHouse Speaker Dennis
O’Brien convened a legislative reform committee that held hearings on rules reform that included rules like the 11 p.m. cutoff, a waiting period for votes on amended bills and more transparency on Senate and House votes. At the time, such reforms were called “the first step down a long road of restoring faith in government.” That road to reform is clearly on the list of the roads and bridges in this state that are overdue for repair. And that faith in government? Gov. Tom Corbett campaigned on legislative reform, and promised to make it a priority. But aside from tinkering around the edges on a few fixes, the governor has retreated from that promise. Laws that will have impact on the lives of many Pennsylvanians should not be done at warp speed, in the middle of the night, no matter how much the governor wants to beat a budget deadline. It’s time to push for real reform – and real respect for the people.

Among friends, we can find a certain kind of harmony THE BAND broke up. We hit the final chord. We heard sweet applause. And then, after 20 years together, we walked away. There was no fighting. No “musical differences.” You need to be musical to have musical differences. We were not really musical. We were writers. Novelists. Memoirists. Humorists. Stephen King was in the band. So was Matt Groening, who created “The Simpsons.” So was Amy Tan, Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson, Scott Turow, Greg Iles, Roy Blount Jr., James McBride – many others over the years. We were called the Rock Bottom Remainders, and when they write the penultimate history of rock ’n’ roll, we will not be in it. Not even a footnote. But we performed all over the country and we brought people to their feet, even if those feet were headed toward the door. We sang old rock ’n’ roll, stuff from the 1950s and ’60s. We played it on guitars, bass, guitars, keyboards, more guitars, and when I say “played,” I mean we moved our hands around in the way that real musicians do when they are making, you know, music. Only with us, the discussions went like this: “Hey, what key were we just in?” “A.” “Oh. That explains it.” But we laughed. We made feedback. We broke strings. We dressed in costumes. Tan wore a dominatrix outfit for “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” that would make “Fifty Shades of Grey” turn 50 shades of red. I donned a gold lamé jacket and did a very bad Elvis Presley imitation, wearing a wig whose sideburns, by the end, more closely resembled a Hasidic rabbi’s than the King’s.
That’s OK. We knew our place. As Barry often said, “We play music as well as Metallica writes novels.” We were not quite a garage band. More like a shed band. MITCH ALBOM But life goes on.

COMMENTARY
Don’t miss the awesome chance to fulfill duty of juror NOTICE TO appear for jury duty arrives in your mailbox mixed among utility bills and advertisements. Printed in distinctive red and black ink on folded white paper stock, it contains questions the answers to which must be returned to the court after detaching the notice along a perforated line for your records. Jury duty gets a bad rap and for many people is less popular than a trip to the dentist. They lament over having been notified and are determined to escape the civic responsibility. Being summoned to become a prospective juror requires you show up at the courthouse on consecutive days and occupy a metal folding chair with no guarantee of ever seeing the inside of a courtroom. I remember being called to serve in the 1980s. I had to explain that my work responsibilities required me to be out of town for extended periods of time. They were very understanding. I was never called again, until May of this year. There in the mailbox was the official notice for jury duty bearing my name and the seal of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. According to the notice I was to report to the Jury Assembly Room on the second floor of the courthouse, North River Street in Wilkes-Barre, at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, June 11, 2012. Without an excuse, I was prepared to serve and would make up for the time I
KEVIN BLAUM IN THE ARENA was unable to do so. I arrived in the Jury Assembly Room at the appointed hour, equipped with my newspaper, two sailing magazines and a large Bakehouse coffee. I was handed a red and white “juror” badge, signaling to everyone outside the assembly room that as prospective jurors we may not engage in conversation. Inside, I sat quietly among the other 179 residents of Luzerne County summoned for duty that week. As employees of the Court Administrator’s Office called the roll, we completed very detailed questionnaires helpful to the court and the attorneys representing their clients at trial. President Judge Thomas Burke soon entered the room to address his audience of potential jurors. Cloaked in his black robe and using a wonderful combination of wisdom, humor and experience, he spoke of the seriousness of the task before us, the profound impact our decisions might have on individual lives and the overriding importance of juries in our American judicial system. His flowing robes followed him closely as he quickly exited the room. The polite chatter that filled the previous half hour subsided as the weight of Burke’s words and the written questions being answer-
ed began to register. As attorneys, plaintiffs, prosecutors, defendants, families and judges began to populate the ornate courtrooms on the third floor, a presiding judge would ask for a panel of jurors, 40 people from which 12 and two alternates were to be selected to hear a case. Prospective jurors not selected then returned to the assembly room and waited to be randomly called again. And so it went. Over the course of three days I was twice part of a panel sent for possible selection on two civil cases. In each instance, Judge Michael Vough presided and his knowledge and firm guidance seemed to command the respect of everyone present. There, the panel undergoes further in-depth questioning during voir dire (speak the truth) as attorneys so impressive worked deftly to seat a fair and impartial jury. I seemed to make it to “the finals” on each case before being among the last three eliminated. No, I wasn’t seated on a jury, but throughout the process I felt the heavy responsibility owed to defendants, plaintiffs, their superb lawyers, Judge Vough and our Constitution to be fair and impartial. Tomorrow I’ll check the mailbox again. So should you. Jury duty is an awesome experience. Don’t miss it. Kevin Blaum’s column on government, life and politics appears every Sunday.

hank you, Gov. Tom Corbett! No new taxes in the just-passed state budget. However, the editorial writers at The Times Leader don’t see it that way. The Times Leader’s July 1 editorial states, “But the school boards either can’t or won’t (find ways to further reduce their districts’ expenses).” This is referring to the local school boards that have the responsibility to maintain fiscal integrity/reality but have failed miserably, especially in the Pittston Area district where I reside. Our board raised our taxes 2.4 percent. Now, Mr. TL Editor, did the Pittston Area board, as you say, have any other choice, hmmm? Let’s see. How about some of the benefits that the teachers/administrators receive and couldn’t, or wouldn’t, or won’t be touched by the school board? By the way, the vote was 9-0. Gee, do you think the average taxpayer in Pittston Area knows that if a teacher turns down the family plan health benefit package because he or she already has health coverage, that teacher gets $11,000 a year just because he said no. That’s $917 per month. Do they know that a 30-year teacher, just because he or she retired, gets a parting gift of $30,000 spread over five years? Administrators get a whopping 70 percent of their final salary just because they retired. These benefits would make a porn star blush. Mr. TL Editor, look around. People are really hurting with job prospects nonexistent and minimal health care coverage a daily struggle, and you seem to defend the Pittston Area board? Wow.
Two Words Bro... Diaper Rash!!
If this country is to have universal health care, as most other developed countries do, we need to go to a singlepayer system. How do we pay for it? How about ending the war in Afghanistan, ending all foreign aid, especially to such so-called “allies” as Pakistan, and bringing our troops home from Germany and all the many other countries where they do not belong, and then using the money saved to pay for universal health care?
You should apologize, and the entire Pittston Area School Board should resign. Frank Sciabacucchi Pittston Township
Healthy solution? Affordable care
I
have a question for the politicians and all those people cheering the Supreme Court decision upholding “Obamacare”: Has it occurred to you that the reason so many Americans lack health insurance is that they cannot afford the premiums? The most obnoxious provision of “Obamacare” is the individual mandate, which forces everyone to buy health insurance coverage from private carriers. It is a huge gift from the politicians to the insurance companies. I was laid off from my job in November. I had to dump my COBRA coverage when it became a choice between having health insurance or having a roof over my head and food on my table. Those $430 monthly premiums (single man living alone with no dependents) could buy a lot of groceries and pay a lot of utility bills. Or would the “Obamacare” supporters have me eating cat food in the dark? The rallying cry of the Republican Party is the repeal of “Obamacare.” Lest the Republicans become too self-righteous here, might I remind them that their darling boy, Mitt Romney, pushed through an “Obamacare”-type law, including an individual mandate, when he was governor of Massachusetts?

Coal still kingly resource for U.S.
I
am writing to thank U.S. Senate candidate Tom Smith for his June 11 commentary (“Job-killing regulations are hiking your electric bill”) that shed light on the Environmental Protection Agency’s war against coal. No other fuel in America is as abundant or affordable as coal. Pennsylvania relies on coal to power 2.7 homes and 145,000 businesses. As far as jobs are concerned, coal production employs 52,000 people statewide, with a combined payroll of $3.5 billion annually. However, the EPA has plans to force utilities to cut back on coal use. In these economic times, we have to be conscious of the looming potential energy crisis. If the EPA continues to succeed with its plans, we will see increased electricity prices and thousands of layoffs. Recently, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, along with 53 law-

makers in Washington, voted to continue the harsh regulations being implemented on coal by the EPA. Senator Casey’s vote is a vote against the most reliable way to generate electricity and create jobs for Pennsylvanians. This is another example of the Obama-Casey agenda of overregulation and war on coal.

Mundy challenged on her tax claims
T
here are a few statements in state Rep. Phyllis Mundy’s letter (June 24) about House Bill 1776, the Property Tax Independence Act, that need to be challenged. Representative Mundy states that HB 1776 is “terribly flawed” but gives no evidence to support the claim. HB 1776 was conceived in full cooperation with 72 member groups of the grassroots Pennsylvania Coalition of Taxpayer Associations and has been fully vetted by its members. I would like to hear specifically in what way the legislation is flawed. Representative Mundy was the person at the HB 1776 House Finance Committee hearings who made a claim of a $3.5 billion funding gap. Rep. Jim Cox, the prime sponsor of the legislation to eliminate school property taxes, patiently attempted to explain to Mundy why her number was incorrect. All the numbers used to craft HB 1776 were supplied by the House Appropriations Committee’s staff and are accurate. Representative Mundy vigorously opposed similar versions of property tax elimination legislation in the past.
She states she has worked for property tax relief for 30 years. But her solutions for property taxes have failed. Could Representative Mundy’s sudden shift to nominally support HB 1776 be due to having a challenger for her seat who pledges to work for enactment of HB 1776? Time for a change. Vote Aaron Kaufer for state representative. Therese Mistretta West Wyoming
Real solutions for real problems
S
oon after Rev. Michael Brewster of Mount Zion Baptist Church commented about the shooting death of local youth Tyler Winstead – appealing to God to stop the violence in this community and talking about “employ (ing) the weapon of unconditional and radical love for humanity” – I called these comments vapid and a failure because they did not offer earthly solutions to earthly problems. As an atheist, and more specifically a humanist, I view these comments as contributing nothing to combat very real problems that ought to be addressed by human action. Humanists and atheists don’t look to “supernatural solutions” for earthly problems, but rather look to earthly solutions for earthly problems. Real action from people on their feet, rather than those in prayerful kneeling, is required for change. We find no good reason to believe that prayer solves any problems or that any gods – if they exist – intervene in human affairs. It is wonderful that Rev. Brewster recently has taken action by holding community meetings in conjunction with the “Building Bridges” initiative. It seems that many people in this community have realized that prayer is not sufficient to deal with our earthly problems.
For those who believe that God only helps those who help themselves, it seems evident that people helping themselves can’t be distinguished from God helping people. And we all know which one is the more reasonable explanation. Justin Vacula Exeter
Client happy with cited nail salon
T
wo very fine women run a nail salon in Wilkes-Barre, at which I have been a customer for quite a number of years. Recently, The Times Leader printed an article relating to information provided from the Pennsylvania Department of State that indicated this small business “practiced nail technology in a grossly incompetent and/or unethical manner.” I would like to bring to your attention that this incident occurred more than a year ago, and it has not deterred me from remaining a faithful customer. The salon was undergoing a facelift, as provided by the owner of the building, which included replacing the door and windows. Prior to that, the front window displayed quite well that, in fact, this business was known as “Get Nailed.” Was this fact taken into consideration by the inspector? Second, the tool that allegedly was utilized supposedly had been purchased at a local beauty-supply business, which sells only to licensed cosmetologists. Has that business been cited? It is my opinion as a customer of this newspaper for years that it should now do a positive story on this small business and the two lovely women who run it! Edie Williams Wilkes-Barre

Obama’s egregious executive overreach THOUGH overshadowed by the shocking Supreme Court decision on health care, the court’s Arizona immigration decision, issued three days earlier, remains far more significant than appreciated. It generally was viewed as mixed or ambiguous because the Justice Department succeeded in striking down three of the law’s provisions. However, regarding the law’s central and most controversial element – requiring officers to inquire into the immigration status of anyone picked up for some other violation – the ruling was unanimous. Not a single justice found merit in the administration’s claim that this “show me your papers” provision constituted an impermissible pre-emption of federal authority. On what grounds unconstitutional? Presumably because officials would be asking about the immigration status of all, rather than adhering to the federal enforcement priorities regarding which illegal immigrants would not be subject to deportation. Under the Obama administration’s newly promulgated regulations, there’ll be no more deportation of young people brought here illegally as children. Presumably, the Arizona law is invalid because an officer might be looking into the status of a young person the feds now classify as here legally. Beyond being logically ridiculous – if a state law is unconstitutional because it’s out of sync with the federal government’s current priorities, does it become constitutional again when federal policy changes? – this argument is “an astounding assertion of federal executive power,” wrote Justice Samuel Alito in a concurrence. The Obama Justice Department is suggesting that “a state law may be pre-empted, not because it conflicts with a federal statute or regulation, but because it is inconsistent with a federal agency’s current enforcement priorities. Those priorities, however, are not law. They are nothing more than agency policy.” And there’s the rub: the Obama administration’s inability to distinguish policy from law. This becomes particularly perverse regarding immigration when, as Justice Antonin Scalia points out, what the administration delicately calls its priorities is quite simply a determination not to enforce the law as passed. Consider this breathtaking

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Don Carey and words by Mark E. Jones
COMMENTARY CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER cascade: An administration violates its constitutional duty to execute the law by deliberately refusing to enforce it. It then characterizes its nonenforcement as simply establishing priorities. It then tries to strike down a state law on immigration on the grounds that it contradicts federal law – by actually trying to enforce it! The logic is circular, oxymoronic and the very definition of executive overreach. During the Bush-43 years, we were repeatedly treated to garment-rending about the imperial presidency, to major hyperventilation about the “unitary executive.” Yet the current administration’s imperiousness has earned little comparable attention. Perhaps because Obama has been so ineffective. It’s hard to call someone imperial who’s failed so consistently. Or maybe not. You can surely be imperial and unsuccessful. Regardless of results, however, Obama’s presumption is Olympian. He takes America into a war in Libya with United Nations approval, but none from Congress. Yet that awful Bush had the constitutional decency to twice seek and gain congressional approval before he initiated hostilities. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issues “Obamacare” regulations treading so heavily on the free-exercise rights of Catholic institutions that Obama’s own allies rebel. The new regulation concocted to tame the firestorm blithely orders private insurers to provide free contraceptives to employees of the objecting religious institutions. And now immigration. Obama adopts a policy of major non-enforcement of the immigration law – a variant of the very DREAM Act he could not get through even a Democratic Congress – and promulgates it unilaterally, while his Justice Department claims the right to invalidate state laws that might in some way impinge on that very non-enforcement. The GOP presidential campaign centers on the ineffectiveness of this administration: failure at home, passivity abroad. A fine electoral strategy. But as citizens we should be grateful. Given the administration’s extravagant ambitions, incompetence is its saving grace. Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@charleskrauthammer.com.

If you don’t care, don’t call yourself an American I SAW an astounding poll result that 41 percent of Americans had no idea the Supreme Court had made an important ruling last month on health care. This concurs with other studies that say more than 60 percent of Americans know little or nothing about what is contained in the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare.” And then it hit me. The problem in America isn’t the progressive version of health care, or the conservative version of health care, it is the “I don’t care” version of being an American. I am an American progressive. But I respect conservatives who believe that their path is the best road ahead. And I really respect independents, people who make the effort to see the different sides of an issue and then judge what they believe is best for our country. But I have no respect for people who just don’t care. To me, they have a lot of nerve calling themselves American. If you ever have known immi-
JOHN WATSON COMMENTARY grants to America, whether they be our own parents or grandparents, or new immigrants, they yearn for the selfgovernance that America has to offer. It is a disgrace that Americans who have been born into this great legacy do not have the decency to be informed, to care. Of course, they have a “right” not to care. And I have a right not to respect them. It is because of selfish Americans such as these that the leading category targeted by politicians today is the “uninformed” voter. It is because of these people that our political dialogue has been lowered to the level of an amoeba. It is because of careless Americans that powerful forces can take the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001 and invade a country that had nothing to do with it. It is because of the intellectually numb that we can ignore science and the destruction of our environment and that legis-
lators can remove from our dialogue phrases such as “rising sea levels” and “global warming.” It is because of the perpetually vacuous that international bankers, nothing more than glorified criminals, can take billions of dollars in salaries and bonuses in the same year that they nearly destroyed the world’s financial system. Similarly, it is because of the unconcerned that the top 1 percent of Americans, an insulated oligarchy, is allowed to control 90 percent of its assets. It is the careless who allow Neanderthals in Congress to question a woman’s use of contraception under the guise of “freedom of religion.” It is because of the disengaged that a Supreme Court can make a ruling such as Citizens United that is infecting our politics with legalized bribery of historic proportions. It is because of those derelict in their duty as citizens, who dare to call themselves “adults” – the people who can name all of the Kardashian sisters but can’t tell you how many members are in the U.S. Senate – that the Senate can misuse the filibuster rule to thwart major-

It is because of the growing ranks of crass, self-absorbed Americans that 40 million people don’t have health coverage; that 23 percent of children in America are living in poverty and that our educational system continues to crumble.

Is Pennsylvania failing to act on thousands of suspected child predators? IF Pennsylvanians have learned anything from the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia case it’s this: When adults suspect child sexual abuse and don’t take action, it is children who pay the unthinkable price. So, as millions point the finger at Penn State University and vent their outrage to co-workers over inmate Sandusky, many people also are asking themselves, “Do I know any child who might be a victim of abuse, a child who needs help right now?” To ask that question is to contemplate a heroic act: lifting an unbearable weight from a child’s shoulders and stepping in to be a protector. Once we’ve examined our lives and cleared our own consciences, there’s another question every citizen has a moral right to ask: “Does my government know about any children who are being hurt and need to be rescued right now?” The answer to that question is yes. Shortly after the Sandusky case made national headlines, I was contacted by a young woman in my district named Alicia Kozakiewicz. At age 13, Alicia was abducted from her Pitts-
COMMENTARY STATE REP. DAN DEASY burgh home by a child predator and held for four days. Alicia said she was alive today only because law enforcement zeroed in on evidence coming from the house where she was held captive. They tracked that evidence back through the Internet to her location, freeing Alicia from a basement dungeon. Here’s what else Alicia told me: There are thousands of Pennsylvania children suffering sexual abuse, and law enforcement is in possession of electronic evidence that could lead directly to their locations. Yet, no rescue is on the way, because Pennsylvania law enforcement is criminally overwhelmed and underfunded. If Alicia was right, the Penn State scandal would pale in comparison. Alicia and her group, PROTECT, were telling me that Pennsylvania officials were failing to act on thousands of suspected child predators. My office, together with state Rep. Mike Sturla, D-Lancaster, began in-
vestigating these charges, and what we found was shocking. A national law enforcement nerve center called Round Up was patrolling the Internet (just as Alicia’s rescuers had done), identifying thousands of criminal suspects a day who were trafficking in video and photos of children being raped, tortured and abused. Round Up is a national treasure. It has helped law enforcement investigators in all 50 states identify and arrest thousands of child predators. Every trafficker in the Round Up database is a dangerous criminal suspect, of course. But an estimated one in three is a hands-on abuser. Here was the biggest surprise. The Round Up national nerve center is hosted on the computer servers of the Pennsylvania State Police. How many Pennsylvania child predator suspects might be in the Round Up database? Congressional testimony, national law enforcement estimates and reports from Round Up itself indicate the number of unique suspects in Pennsylvania can be conservatively placed between 5,000 and 20,000. One is too many. More alarming, we know from arrest and prosecution data that most of
these suspects are never arrested or prosecuted. Worse, large numbers of suspects are never even referred to local law enforcement agencies, leaving child-sexual predators at large in communities. Thanks to Alicia, 37 state House members from both parties have joined me in introducing the Attorney General Mandated Reporter Act, legislation that would require the attorney general, or the Pennsylvania Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force should she delegate it, to report child predator suspects seen online to local law enforcement agencies right away, unless they are being actively investigated. The bill, to be known as “Alicia’s Law,” also would provide funding to train local law enforcement agencies in this most dangerous of all cybercrimes, focusing their efforts on firstresponder activities that might identify child victims. Since its introduction in April, Alicia’s Law has been bottled up in committee, and House leaders have refused to hold hearings. Every day the House leadership delays is another day that help won’t reach children in peril. The next time you hear someone rage against those who kept Sand-

’m writing in regard to the recent article about thefts of American flags from a Vietnam War Memorial in Plymouth (“Valor dishonored,” July 3). These people, when caught, should be taught respect for the flag. Draft them into the Army for three years. They will learn respect in basic training, and – after a few tours of duty in Afghanistan – they proudly will carry the flag. My hat’s off to Clyde Peters and the American Legion for doing a great job.
Mr. Murphy and Fox Rothschild presented engagement letters to the Parking Authority enumerating services and fees. Apparently the authority, or at least some of its members, took issue with Mr. Murphy’s and Fox Rothschild’s fees. The mayor did not engage either Fox Rothschild or Mr. Murphy; the Parking Authority did. In the future I would hope for more balanced coverage of Mayor Leighton. In the interest of full disclosure, the mayor is a friend of mine.

Leighton deserves balanced coverage
John Riccetti Shavertown
I
am writing in response to your editorial regarding Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton’s involvement in the proposed leasing of the city’s parking facilities (“City parking plan seems a real wreck,” June 27). The city, like many small and mid-sized cities in the Northeast, has a shrinking tax base, increased health care costs and unsustainable pension benefit obligations. Unlike proprietary enterprises, municipalities, because of contractual obligations, can’t reduce costs by simply reducing the workforce, requiring a larger contribution from employees for health care or eliminating benefits. I believe the mayor deserves credit for trying to come up with a creative solution to solve the financial problems of the city. Instead of an analysis of the financial validity of the plan, your coverage focused on the professional fees of Fox Rothschild and former city administrator J.J. Murphy. I assume
Confidentiality cloaks local gov’t
I
was reading The Times Leader’s article saying that Wilkes-Barre might be liable to pay taxes on the gas for which it cannot account. The thing I found most disturbing is the fact that the investigation is confidential. Why is everything regarding local and county government considered confidential when there is a problem? We, the voters, elect these people to represent us, and they hide behind the veil of confidentiality when something bad happens. The people have a right to know about anything involving our hardearned tax money. These people get into office and they are not held accountable for their actions. When they do get caught, with their hand in the proverbial cookie jar, they resign their offices and collect big pensions, all provided by the taxpayers.

After that, their buddies sweep everything under the rug, and we never really know what happened. All we know is that taxes will be raised to pay for these people’s greed and mismanagement of public funds. These politicians seemingly think that the money – and goods purchased with it – belong to them. It does not; it belongs to every taxpaying citizen, and we demand to be kept abreast of all investigations and expenditures. Confidentiality breeds corruption! When will it all end? Maybe on Dec. 21.

Use your vote to make difference
I
am glad to see that many people are going to be covered for their medical care with the passage of “Obamacare.” I am not glad to see how we are going to pay for it. All of us on Medicare are going to see increases in the amount the government takes out of our Social Security checks every month for our Medicare premiums. For many of us, it will mean a lot less to spend on other essentials. For others, it could be disastrous. I never liked the idea of my government getting into the insurance business. It was enough when it took over the automobile and banking industries. This has to stop. The only defense we have is our ballot. Together we can and must make a difference.
Our country is on a collision course with reality. Our economy is in dire straights. Not only are many people unemployed, but many of those who are lucky to have a job are actually under-employed and barely making ends meet. Where does it all end? Together we must send a message to Washington with our vote in November. We have to tell the politicians that we are tired of being thrown under the bus. We need an alternative to “Obamacare.” If you are not registered to vote, please do so. If you can vote, please get out and vote. Nick Pucino Nanticoke
Devious GOP plot hurting our nation
A
month ago Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor and son of President George H.W. Bush, sent a chill through Republicans when he asserted that they would no longer nominate someone like his father for president. Moreover, he said, they wouldn’t even select Ronald Reagan. These former leaders aren’t conservative enough for today’s Republican Party, he suggested. There recently were reports on several cable news networks of a meeting that occurred on the day of Barack Obama’s inauguration. What happened at this meeting is recorded in the prologue of Robert Draper’s new book, “Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U. S. House of Representatives.” Fifteen Republicans (seven congressmen and five senators, plus three others) met on the evening of Jan. 20, 2008. Among the representatives were devious Eric Cantor, slippery Kevin McCarthy and conniving Paul Ryan. Senators included demented Jim DeMint, dull-witted Jon Kyl and adulterous John Ensign. Also on hand were scheming commu-
nications specialist Frank Luntz, right-wing “journalist” Fred Barnes of “The Weekly Standard” and the hero of past controversy, omnipresent Newt Gingrich. (Please pardon my lack of enthusiasm for the above characters, but their deceitfulness has been a matter of public record.) The 15 resolved at this meeting to do everything they could to block any initiative President Obama put forward to Congress. One of the great fears Republicans must now have is that another important national figure will break ranks and announce it has all been a ruse from the beginning and that the party hasn’t acted in good faith. Although it’s possible that the fateful gathering at an expense-account restaurant (between the White House and the Capitol three and a half years ago) didn’t birth the angry and wary movement known as the Tea Party, it certainly encouraged it. All the duplicity that characterizes current conservatives (especially in Congress) has had a deleterious effect on public discourse. Richard J. Yost South Abington Township
Regulations crush our self-sufficiency
M
ary Ann Haas couldn’t be more correct (“Partisan gridlock killing economy,” July 1). I have had a small dental lab for 25 years. All I wanted to do was make dental prosthetics for a few dentists and make a decent living with dignity. I didn’t want to grow a huge conglomerate. Now, government regulations want to micromanage my one-man operation just the same as they do a multimillion-dollar endeavor. Remember Hillary Clinton’s words? “We cannot be held responsible for undercapital-

ized businesses.” That means if you are a one-person show, and the regulations are too expensive to implement, too bad. Further, I never dreamed I’d be competing with China in the dental lab business. Yes, ask your dentist where that crown or denture was made! Demand a made-in-USA guarantee. There are dental lab brokers who market Chinese services to dentists. They seemingly know nothing about how to construct a dental appliance. They undercut the local lab’s prices, pick up the work from the dentist’s office and send it to China. China does not have to comply with U.S. regulations. When it comes back, the broker delivers the finished product to the dentist. You pay the same fee for your prosthetics. When all the local labs go out of business (or become brokers themselves), your broken denture will be sent to China to be repaired. Will there be some poisonous material in it when it comes back? Look what NAFTA and GATT did! The liberals in power do not want individuals to be self-sufficient. They want us all to be beholden to them while they enjoy political power. They have turned to people into “sheeple.” The “sheeple” bleat for more government intervention on all levels (welfare, health care, retirement). Though the country is ripe for another American Revolution, there will be none. “The tree of liberty (shall not) be refreshed … with the blood of tyrants and patriots” any time soon. Prepare to be shackled and enslaved. You have sacrificed your liberty for a little security so you “deserve neither.” (Thomas Jefferson said the former, Benjamin Franklin the latter.)

Lambert is hotter than ever By JON BRAM Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
MINNEAPOLIS — Married her longtime beau: Check. Had a big hit ballad: Check. Scored a No. 1 country song: Check. Got a Grammy: Check. Collected CMA Award for female vocalist of the year: Check. Check. Won ACM Award for album of the year: Check. Check. Check. Headlining her own arena tour: Check — finally. (She was scheduled to play the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain last night, but the show was postponed due to illness.)
Miranda Lambert has been on a roll the past couple of years. So why is she still singing about anxiety and agony? “I’ve always leaned more toward the sad songs and the angst,” Lambert said. “I feel like that’s what people want to hear. That’s what I want to hear. I don’t want to hear a bunch of happy songs all the time. People may have expected me to be a little more happy and upbeat on this album (the American Country Music-winning ‘Four the Record’) and it just wasn’t like that at all.” That’s the essence of Miranda
Lambert — telling it like it is, whether evening the score with an ex-boyfriend in the 2008 hit “Gunpowder and Lead” or dissing R&B star Chris Brown on Twitter after the Grammys in February. Lambert felt obligated to vent because she thought Brown was greedy doing two performances on the Grammys, and she was upset that he didn’t apologize for beating up his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. “Ifeellikeit’smyduty,”Lambert, 28, said. “Everything I’ve always stood for in my career and in my personal life, I’m a strong woman
and I believe in speaking your mind. Sometimes I feel like if I don’t, I’m not upholding what I’ve preached.” Outspoken, to be sure. But also sensitive. Check out her current hit ballad “Over You,” which she wrote with her husband, country star Blake Shelton, who’s on a roll himself as a coach on NBC’s “The Voice.” One day he opened up about the death of his older brother in a car See LAMBERT, Page 6F
WHO: John Phillips, local musician AGE: 31 HOMETOWN: Scranton ••• John Phillips has loved music from a young age. “My mom used to play the piano for hours and hours and hours on end when I was a kid,” he said. “I used to sit up in my room and listen to her play down in the dining room all the time, which is what hooked me.” Since then, the 31-year-old Scranton resident has made music, of all kinds, a major part of his life. Phillips is a busy guy, bouncing from running the annual Steamtown Original Music Showcase and his business, MCR Productions, to playing in two bands: UUU for 12 years and OurAfter for six. As a musician, Phillips knows the accountability he and his peers have. “As a local musician you have a responsibility to make your scene better, whether you play in a band, promote bands or are part of any aspect of the music. You’ve got to be the best you can be and work at developing it.” Phillips has seen many changes to the scene since he began playing. “I’ve watched it collapse,” he said, “and this is where the responsibility aspect comes in. Everybody says ‘Well the scene isn’t doing great, the clubs aren’t doing this, radio’s not doing that,’ which is fine, but the fact is that when it comes down to it, the only person to blame is yourself.” Phillips said this is why he’s gone “on the aggressive,” pushing the focus to local and regional acts instead of national ones. One such way is through the Steamtown Original Music Showcase, now in its seventh year, which will take place from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. “Local music is just as good, if not better, than national music, and nobody really knows about these bands,” he said. “This is a way to expose new styles and genres to a lot of people.” The event is being expanded upon with the Steamtown Music Awards, which will happen Sept. 1. “It’s a way to get more recognition for local artists,” Phillips said. “Voting for bands is a big part of the process, yes, but there are still going to be rules and stipulations looked at by a committee.” Phillips hopes that through fundraising, as well as money made through the Steamtown Showcase, he and his event colleagues can present a music scholarship to a local highschool student in the thousands-ofdollars range. Phillips refers to his company MCR Productions, run with his wife, Jennifer, as “the glue for everything.” The business is made up of several local professionals and has photographers, videographers, musicians, event planners, lighting installers – everything to make a party work. “We’re taking themed weddings and events and making them a reality for people,” Phillips said. “We look at every aspect of the event and see what we can do with it to make it that much better.” He sees music as always being a part of his life, and he’s looking forward to pushing a change. “It’s going to be a lot of time and effort and I’m a little scared, I’m a little hesitant, but at the same time anything that’s worth doing, well, you’re going to give it a shot no matter what.” On The Scene is an occasional feature about the people folks are likely to encounter when out and about on the local entertainment scene.

ple in this area,” he said, spreading his arms to encompass paintings and drawings, clothing and jewelry. Jones also wants to make sure people know he wasn’t the only Luzerne County artist whose work was chosen for the state show. Stephen Ruch, 19, of Dallas, contributed an image of a “San Francisco Ferry Station.” He is majoring in education and minoring in art at Wilkes University, with an eye toward becoming a math teacher, and he drew the ferry freehand in graphite pencil based on a picture at Sue Hand’s Imagery in Dallas. The third Luzerne County artist, Brien Keller, 37, from Fairview Township, submitted a photograph of a vintage dinghy that a grandfather had crafted by hand for his grandson in the late 1800s. “I like single, solitary, inanimate objects that stand out just because they’re beautiful,” said Keller, who noticed the dinghy in the water off Block Island, R.I. Like Jones, Keller is honored

that his work was chosen for the juried show. “I feel validated. The judges were from all across the country, and I’m flattered that I fell within the range of artists who were there. Lots of them do art for their day jobs,” said Keller, whose own day job is in information technology for the medical field. The state exhibit includes 129 works of art by 115 artists from 30 counties, museum spokesman Howard Pollman said. They were chosen from 1,836 entries submitted by 680 artists. After attending the exhibit’s opening reception last month, Jones said, “I didn’t know there were so many different kinds of art.” Jones, too, has a day job, as a test-kitchen chef for Aramark Corp. When he’s cooking or baking at home, he just might use some of his hand-crafted wood.

“What could be more aesthetically pleasing than making an apple pie with a rolling pin made from the wood of a local apple tree?” he wrote in his artist statement. Still, he admits, some of his creations are more likely to retain their sanded-and-polished good looks if they aren’t used quite so hard. “I tell people, if they want a bowl to stay nice, they can put apples in it but not applesauce.” Jones has worked with wood as diverse as tiger maple, myrtle, yellowheart, purpleheart and yew. Some of his most satisfying projects, Jones said, are when he creates decorative mementos from the wood of a beloved old tree that had to come PETE G.

BOOKS
Dark plot in ‘Shadows’
“Beneath the Shadows” by Sara Foster; Minotaur ($24.99) By OLINE H. COGDILL Sun Sentinel
Australian author Sara Foster uncovers a rich vein of atmosphere in the North Yorkshire moors for her intense psychological thriller about a woman trying to rebuild her life after her husband disappears. A touch of the supernatural and family ghost tales add to the already spooky landscape that blankets Foster’s debut. But Foster’s dabbling in the occult doesn’t subtract from the realistic fears and down-to-earth problems explored in “Beneath the Shadows.” Foster uses the subgenre of the quiet, non-violent English village mystery to gracefully weave in the themes of loss, grief and abandonment in “Beneath the Shadows.” Grace and Adam Lockwood have just moved from London with Millie, their 10-week-old daughter, to the remote village of Roseby where he has an inherited a cottage from his grandparents. Adam spent a little time in Roseby as a teenager after his mother died and he has fond memories of Hawthorn Cottage, the village and the surrounding moors. One week after the move, Adam takes Millie for a walk while Grace continues to unpack. A few hours later, Grace finds Millie in her stroller, unharmed, at their doorstep, but Adam has disappeared. A year later, Grace finally finds the strength to return to Roseby. She needs to settle matters about the cottage and try to find out what happened to Adam, who has never been found. The police and many Roseby residents believe he just left, unable to handle the responsibilities of fatherhood. Grace becomes friendly with Meredith Blakeney, a leader in the tight-knit community, and handyman named Ben, who works on the cottage while Grace sorts through the boxes left by Adam’s grandparents, “dismantling the last traces of their lives.” Family secrets and tales of ghosts haunt Grace’s attempts to find out what happened to her husband. Foster skillfully uses the village’s isolation and the moors where “the raw, untouched vistas had the power to stop your mind” as a metaphor for Grace’s own isolation. Grace’s grief influences each of her actions, and her parents, her sister and an old friend worry that she may verge on a mental breakdown. Grace is obsessive about finding out if Adam left or if something more sinister happened and the reader empathizes with her emotional state. The absorbing plot of “Beneath the Shadows” shows that a quiet, non-violent mystery can pack a lot of punch.
“American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America” by Michelle Obama; Crown ($30) By MARY MACVEAN Los Angeles Times
M
ichelle Obama can recall a time when she “had no idea that tomatoes didn’t come in green plastic trays, covered by cellophane and that they could be any color other than pale red.” She’s come a long way, and now she is working to bring nished with a few baby carrots or the rest of us with her.
Her efforts to garden on the White House lawn and to involve people all over the country in growing food are the subject of her first book, “American Grown.” (All author proceeds go to the National Park Foundation.) Full of pictures of gorgeous gardens and produce, “American Grown” tells the story of the White House kitchen garden. There are recipes, advice on gardening and stories of successful community gardens from around the country — as well as a little history about growing food at the White House. Ground was broken for the current garden on March 20, 2009, and it has become popular with staff volunteers, school groups and tourists. Even White House events have changed: “Since we planted the garden, I’ve noticed a change in what we cook,” observes Cris Comerford, the White House executive chef. “No longer are the meals we serve driven by the protein on the plate and gar-
other accent vegetables. Vegetables are now equal partners.” About a third of the harvest is donated to Miriam’s Kitchen, which provides meals for homeless people. “American Grown” has many warm and fuzzy moments, both in photos — Obama holding justpicked tomatoes, elementary school children and first dog Bo among the plants — and in words. Gardens, the first lady points out, are good at “reminding us of all we have in common and helping us grow stronger, more connected communities.” Obama also addresses some serious questions about the American diet, noting that “millions of American families are living in so-called food deserts, communities without a single grocery store and no convenient access to fresh, nutritious food.” Obesity-related health problems, she writes, cost $150 billion a year. And she offers startling details
about the effect of diet on the military, from an interview with Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling: Not only can about half the recruits not pass a basic fitness test, but more than 62 percent of new recruits needs dental care before they can deploy and many have bone density issues that make them prone to fractures. Those problems are the result of a decades-long change in how we eat and exercise, Obama notes, acknowledging that she too struggled over decisions about buying the right foods when she shopped for her family. In her book, as elsewhere, her great charm is her ability to seem like the rest of us. She recalls a conversation with the Obamas’ pediatrician and a decision to improve the family’s eating habits. “We started small, emptying our pantry of unhealthy foods and filling our glasses with water and skim milk instead of sugary drinks,” she writes. “We ate at home more often. We began to add more vegetables to our meals.” The problems Obama saw as first lady “alarmed” her and led to the “Let’s Move” program and her campaign against childhood obesity. “Rarely in the history of this country have we encountered a problem of such magnitude and consequence that is so eminently solvable,” she declares. Her garden — the White House garden — is part of the solution: “I hoped this garden would help begin a conversation about the food we eat, the lives we lead, and how all of that affects our children.”

‘Policeman’ on job as doomsday approaches “The Last Policeman” by Ben H. Winters; Quirk Books, Philadelphia ($14.96) By TISH WELLS McClatchy Newspapers
In Ben H. Winters’ new mystery, “The Last Policeman,” a massive asteroid named Maia will hit Earth in six months. The human race is reacting badly to the lack of a future. So who cares about a suicide in the restroom of the local McDonald’s in Concord, N.H.? Detective Hank Palace cares. Palace has a tidy streak in him that keeps him working despite the inevitability of extinction, and something in this death doesn’t add up here. “What I’m really dealing with here is the fact that all of us will die,” Winters says. “How would we behave under those circumstances — behave ethically, behave morally. What is the way to behave knowing that our days are limited?” In the mystery, some have already killed themselves in mass immolations or walk off their jobs to fulfill their “before-I-die” bucket list or dreamed of escaping to non-existent moon colonies. Unfortunately, our modern world doesn’t run by all by itself. Technology is breaking down. The cell phone grid is failing. Only the authorities have gasoline for their cars. Even the McDonald’s isn’t the familiar Golden Arches we know now. “Many of these, like the one we’re now standing in, on Concord’s Main Street, have subsequently been transformed into pirate restaurants: owned and operated by enterprising locals like my new best friend over there, doing a bustling business in comfort food and no need to sweat the franchise fees,” thinks Palace. He’s been assigned to clean up the case of Peter Zell, an insurance man found hanging by an expensive belt that doesn’t belong to him. Delving into Zell’s life, Palace tracks down family and friends to find the reason for the death all the while knowing — it really doesn’t matter. Winters made his mark writing literary mash-up such as “Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters” — Jane Austen meets Jules Verne and others — and a Tolstoy parody, “Android Karenina.” He started writing “The Last Policeman” in February 2011. It is planned to be a trilogy, the second book being three months before Maia hits, and the last on the day of reckoning. So how does much of humanity cope in Concord knowing they are doomed? “People in the main are simply muddling along. Got to work, sit at your desk, hope the company is still around come Monday. Got to the store, push the cart, hope there’s some food on the shelves today. Meet your sweetheart for lunch for ice cream.” “What I’m dealing with here is the fact all of us will die,” says Winters. “That is the human condition — period. (That is) the one thing that links every human being to the other. What I’ve simply done in the novel is to accelerate the timetable.”
‘Die a Stranger’ a suspenseful tale “Die a Stranger: An Alex McKnight Novel” (Minotaur Books), by Steve Hamilton By BRUCE DeSILVA For The Associated Press
In the years since Vinnie Red Sky LeBlanc’s father killed three people in a drunken driving accident and got himself banned from the Bay Mills reservation, the young Ojibwa tribal member has never once picked up a drink. So Vinnie’s best friend, Alex McKnight, is under-
standably concerned to learn Vinnie has been knocking back scotches at a local bar. The concern turns to alarm when Vinnie suddenly disappears. Meanwhile, five bodies are discovered at a deserted airstrip nearby, the result of a drug deal gone bad. At first, Alex, a former De-
troit cop who moved to Michigan’s remote Upper Peninsula a few years ago to get away from trouble like this, cannot imagine the two mysteries are related. But when Buck, Vinnie’s slacker cousin, also goes missing, Alex suspects Buck may have somehow drawn Vinnie into the drug deal. Soon it becomes clear that Alex isn’t the only one looking for the cousins. Some big-time drug dealers, convinced that Vinnie
and Buck betrayed them at the airstrip, are hunting the pair. As the story unfolds, Alex races up and down the length of Michigan, following leads, trying to stay one step ahead of the drug dealers and trying to convince suspicious tribal members that he’s really on Vinnie’s side. Soon he’s joined by Vinnie’s long-missing father, who shows up to help with the search.
“Die a Stranger” is the ninth crime novel by Steve Hamilton, a two-time Edgar Award winner. As usual, he creates an ensemble of strong, believable characters and spins his suspenseful tale in crisp, hardboiled prose. The result is a taut, fastpaced story with lots of gunplay and unexpected twists, along with a poignant subplot about the strained relationship between father and son.

S
TILLWATER, N.Y. — Ranger Megan Stevens sets a leisurely pace as she leads about a dozen bicyclists along the paved tour road at Saratoga National Historical Park, scene of one of history’s most important battles. About midway up one of the steeper inclines, it becomes apparent why the Americans made sure they held the high ground when the redcoats finally showed up — on foot — in 1777. “You can see how impressive the valley is,” Stevens said afterward about some of the park’s hilltop views of the upper Hudson River in Stillwater, 20 miles north of Albany. From such scenic spots she and other National Park Service rangers regale groups of bicyclists with stories of the two battles fought here in September and October 1777, their outcomes, and how the Continental Army’s defeat of the world’s best army led to the eventual American vic-

tory in the Revolutionary War. The free guided bike tours are conducted every other Wednesday in the summer beginning in June at the park, also known as the Saratoga Battlefield. Other guided bike tours are scheduled for July 11 and 25, and Aug. 1, 15 and 29. They begin at 6 p.m. in the park’s parking lot and last until about 8 p.m. Participants must bring their own bicycles.
The bike tours offer an opportunity to learn about a battle considered one of the most significant in history, while getting a not-too-strenuous workout at the same time. An added bonus: Plenty of panoramic views along the 5-mile route, with mountaintops in neighboring Vermont and
even some in western Massachusetts visible when conditions are right. While giving a boiled-down version of the Saratoga battles is necessitated by the brevity of the stops during the bike tours, the rangers manage to include of some of behind-the-scenes drama, such as the personality clashes between American Maj. Gen. Horatio Gates and Arnold, a Saratoga hero who was still three years away from turning traitor. “You can talk forever about the battle, but not everyone is interested in military things,” Stevens said. “You connect more on personal level if you can talk about the individuals and what they went through.”
accident when they were teenagers. “We wrote it about his brother,” Lambert said. “Ironically, it was my single in January, and welosthisdad(then)andIlosta really good childhood friend. So it was kind of weird that we wrote about something that happened16 years ago but it was very fitting to our lives today.” Not only did they compose “Over You” together, but they duet on “Better in the Long Run” on “Four the Record” (it’s her fourth album) and they sang “America the Beautiful” together at the Super Bowl in February. How about touring together? “We’ve decided it’s not the right time,” Lambert said. The couple will celebrate their first wedding anniversary May 9 by hanging out at their farm in Oklahoma — which is what they did for half their honeymoon. “I’m trying to build on this momentum I’m having, and he doesn’t have time to do it with back-to-back seasons of ‘The Voice.’ ” (The show already has begun filming its third season, expected to air this fall.) Not only has Lambert been a guest mentor on “The Voice,” but she’s an avid fan who texts her husband unsolicited advice during the show. “He probably gets annoyed. He has his phone with him in the chair,” she explained. “He’ll text me: ‘How was it?’ because he can only hear what he hears in the building. I’m the back-seat driver, bad.” Lambert knows quite a bit about TV talent shows. She got her career break after finishing third on “Nashville Star” in 2003. And the show’s 2006 winner, Chris Young, is opening for her current On Fire Tour. Despite the moniker, the tour does not include pyrotechnics — nothing like the giant ring of fire in which she performed “Kerosene,” her first hit, at the 2005 Country Music Association Awards. “I figure I’m fiery enough on my own,” she said. Lambert made her mark with feisty he-done-me-wrong songs such as “Kerosene” (“He’s out there holding on to someone/ I’m holding up my smoking gun”) and “Crazy Ex-Girl-

COUNTRY COUPLES Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton join a select group of country couples who have enjoyed musical success while married. We asked her to comment on some of her famous predecessors. • Johnny Cash and June Carter: “They set the stage for what it is to be a couple in the spotlight because they had such an amazing relationship.” • George Jones and Tammy Wynette: “Legendary.” • Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter: “They’re the coolest of them all.” • Rodney Crowell and Rosanne Cash: “Oh, gosh. They’re like renegades that were a couple.” • Tim McGraw and Faith Hill: “Hot.” (Then she giggled.) • Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood: “I think they’re very real and very down to earth. I don’t know them, but they seem that way.”
friend.” She grew up in Linden, Texas, where her parents were private investigators, often working with women who were abused or cheated on. Buthercareerdidn’treallyexplode until the 2010 ballad “The House That Built Me.” Shelton was going to record it, but she talkedhimoutofit.Thesongbecame her first No.1hit and led to a Grammy for best female country vocal performance and a CMA prize for song of the year. With her elevated profile, Lambert landed a spot in February on NBC’s “Law & Order: SVU,” her favorite TV show. Actually, when she met the program’s show runner, she said: “I know you want me on your show.” He warmed to the idea but she said had a little advice for her: “ ‘You need to be a little less confident.’ OK, no one’s ever told me that.” Lambert is confident she doesn’t want to be an actress. She’s too busy with music, including her side project the Pistol Annies, a country girl group with songwriting partners AshleyMonroeandAngaleenaPresley. They released a loose, spirited collection of harmony-heavy country ditties called “Hell on Heels” last August. The two singers will join her tour in May and do five Pistol Annies songs as part of her set. In September, there will be a separate Pistol Annies tour, followed by the recording of the trio’s second album.

Ready to move in home in Trucksville Story and Photos by Marianne Tucker Puhalla Advertising Projects Writer
It is freshly painted and ready for you to move right in! Take the time to visit 157 Carverton Rd, Trucksville, a two-story find just minutes from the Wyoming Valley. This four-bedroom, three-bath home with modern kitchen is set on an oversized 199-by-130, hillside lot with views in nearly every direction of the surrounding countryside. Listed by Ann Marie Chopick of Bell Real Estate for $195,000, this home will be open for tours during an Open House today from 1-3 p.m. This property was built in 1988, and offers taupe vinyl siding with plenty of brick trim, black shutters and a bright red door. The door leads into a foyer where tan vinyl tiles cover the floor and
OPEN HOUSE TODAY, 1-3PM
A double pantry offers plenty of storage behind bi-fold doors. The breakfast area is separated from the cooking area by a bank of top and bottom cabinets that open up both rooms to the light from the rear-facing windows. A half-wall provides another divider as it delineates the kitchen from the adjacent 13-by-19 family room. This comfortable, curl-up-with-a-book space features atrium doors that open rear to a large deck. There are also two single windows that overlook the side yard. A textured ceiling offers a medallion design. The gas fireplace is sure to please, particularly on cold winter nights, with its raised stone hearth and natural stone mantle. For the summer, there is an air conditioning wall unit in a nearby window. The first-floor powder room has more
stairs on the left lead to the second floor. A right off the foyer takes you into the 19-by-12 living room, where brown sculptured carpeting and white walls are illuminated by the natural light that comes in from a triple picture window front. Mini-blinds provide sun protection and privacy. The 12-by-11 dining is set to the rear and also features the sculptured carpeting, a chandelier and a double window rear. To the left of the dining room is the 10-by-12 rear-facing kitchen. This room has a single window and a tan vinyl floor in a marbled pattern found throughout a good portion of the first floor. The kitchen is totally up-to-date thanks to new black appliances, including a microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and a Jenn Air range. Striking oak cabinets are topped by cream laminate countertops.

of the tan vinyl flooring and an oak vanity topped by a cream cultured marble sink Just off the kitchen, a side entry door opens to the attached, two-car garage; a second door takes you to the basement.

Upstairs, an octagon accent window provides extra light in the hall. The nearby master bedroom measures 14-by-10 and offers brown wall-to-wall carpeting, white walls and windows both side and rear, one with an air conditioning unit. A large double closet has bi-fold doors. An oak vanity can be found in the adjacent master bath that comes complete with a cream cultured marble sink and walkin shower. A single window faces rear. Bedrooms two, three and four range in size from 10-by-11 to 11-by-16 with large windows, plentiful closet space and wall-to-wall carpeting.
