WILKES-BARRE Geisinger Health Sys-
tem wants its employees to slim down and
take control of their health, and is offering
theman incentive to do so in the formof low-
er monthly insurance payments.
Under the plan, employ-
ees who enroll will undergo
free health screenings test-
ing their body mass index,
blood pressure, total and
LDL cholesterol and blood
glucose. Those whose met-
rics fall within a healthy
range or who make pro-
gress toward bringing them
below employer-defined
maximums by October will
pay a smaller share of their
insurance premium in 2013
than those who do not.
Employees who meet the
conditions will pay 6 per-
cent of their health insur-
ance premium next year,
while those who dont will
pay 12 percent. Employees currently pay 8
percent, but Geisingers Human Resources
head insisted the increase is not a tax on out-
of-shape employees.
Theres a basic increase in the cost of
health insurance anyway, Margaret Heffers
said. Part of it is our usual cost adjustment
that we see each year. Certainly I think insur-
ance premiums will continue to rise.
Geisinger Health System is not the first
company to enroll in the program offered by

Members of the recently
formed Wilkes-Barre Taxpayers
Association are seeking to
bridge the contentious divide
between their group and
Wilkes-Barres City Council in
a physical sense, anyway.
Association member Linda
Urban said in an email Saturday
the group will send a letter to
council and the city administra-
tion asking that the railing di-
viding the City Council cham-
ber be removed. She calls the
barrier a formof intimidation.
Why are we requiredtosit or
stand inside a gated area, Ur-
ban asks. Are we being held
against our will or purposely be-
ing held up for humor by the
elected as (we) wrestle with
the gate?
The notorious gate and rail
system is always a problem for
taxpayers. And especially for
first time taxpayer commentors
(sic).
The City Council chamber is
divided by a wooden and iron
rail about 3 feet high with metal
gates to the left and right pro-
viding access to the two sec-
tions of the chamber. Council
members typically enter the
chamber from an office on one
side of the railing while the pub-
lic enters through a door at the
other endof the chamber across
the railing.
Members of the public wish-
ing to address council must
pass through one of the gates
and speak from a table directly
in front of the desk where coun-
cil members sit.
Council Vice Chairman Bill
Barrett saidSaturdayhe doesnt
believe the barrier is intimidat-
ing to city residents, citing in-
stances when Bob Kadluboski,

An old train car at the Mar-
ket Street Square complex auc-
tioned off nearly two months
ago still hasnt moved.
The delay stems from verifi-
cationthat thetraincar obtains
asbestos, said Andrew Reilly,
acting director of the Luzerne
CountyRede-
velopment
Authority,
which is try-
ing to sell it.
Asbestos is
an issue be-
cause the
high bidder
Lackawanna
County met-
al recyclers
Jim Williams
Jr. and his fa-
ther, Jim Wil-
liams Sr.
want to cut the car into three
pieces on site and haul away
the material for scrap, Reilly
said.
The authority is working
with the state Department of
Environmental Protection to
determine what procedures
must be followed by the Wil-
liamses tocomplywiththelaw,
Reilly said.
If theyre willing to comply,
we can move forward, Reilly
said.
A contract placing liability
on the Williamses also must be
executed before the work pro-
ceeds, Reilly said.
The Williamses did not want
to remove the car in one piece
because of the road permit
costs to move an oversize load.
The Williamses submitted a
bid for $5,000 at an auction on
May 19. The auctioneer has re-
ceived their check but has not
cashed it. Reilly said the au-
thority has not discussed how
it will proceed if an agreement
isnt reached with the high bid-
der.
The car was once part of the
Joe Palooka Diner.
Reilly said discussions still
continue on county Manager
Robert Lawtons suggestion

Maxine Harrell, 55, swayed to
the music during the annual
Drug-Free Block Party on
Public Square Saturday.
Harrell, 55, said she moved
to Wilkes-Barre from Newark
for a more peaceful life away
from crime and drugs.
They have to be with God
and hell help them get over
it, she said referring to drug
addicts and dealers. He
helped me a lot.
The annual event, spon-
sored by United We Stand,
Divided We Fall, featured
music, food, raffles, and a
dunk tank. Bridget Lemon, 33,
of Kingston, said the increase
in recent drug crimes has
given the area a bad name.
We need more things like
this, she said. We still have
people that care about each
other and future generations.
Julius Zuckerwar, 49, of
Swoyersville, said being arrest-
ed 8 years ago saved his life.
Every time I drank I got into
fights, he said.
Having battled drug and
alcohol abuse, Zuckerwar said
he wants to help Luzerne
County District Attorney
Stefanie Salavantis and law
enforcement catch drug deal-
ers and clean up the streets.
You can have more fun
without using drugs and alco-
hol, said Zuckerwar. Its a
joyful high to not wake up in a
jail cell or wonder if I hurt
anyone last night.
Recalling last weeks sen-
tencing of Jaboar Stanley, who
shot and killed Emmanuel
Felix in February 2011 during
a poker game in Hazleton,
Salavantis said drug abuse
ruins lives.
He and his friend were
playing cards and he was un-
der the influence of several
illegal drugs, she said. That
person must not only live with
the grief of killing his friend
but will spend the next 20
years locked away from his
family imprisoned for some-
thing that should have never
occurred.
Ultimately, I cannot ade-
quately convey in words the
very serious dangers and trag-
ic results associated with drug
use, added Salavantis. It is a
battle that myself and law
enforcement cannot fight
alone. We need every parent,
every child, and every friend
not only to heed the warning,
but to pass the word and fight
the battle with us.

KINGSTON TWP. The hy-
draulic fracturing process used in
gas drilling in Northeastern
Pennsylvania can negatively af-
fect the regions surface and
ground water tables, air quality,
agricultural land and property
values, as well
as roads and
emergency re-
sponse costs,
says a re-
nowned chem-
ist and environ-
mental activist.
Dr. Wilma
Subra spoke
Wednesdaynight at theUnitarian
Universalist Congregation
Church in Kingston Township
and Tuesday night at Temple
Bnai Brith in Kingston during
presentations sponsored by the
Gas Drilling Awareness Coali-
tion.
Subra explained that waste
products produced in the hydrau-
lic fracturing, or fracking, process
are exempt from federal hazard-
ous waste laws and regulations,
even though up to 60 percent of
all fracking waste that is tested is
found to be toxic.
Hydraulic fracturing is the
process in which water, sediment
and chemical additives are inject-
ed through a well to create fis-
sures and release the natural gas
trapped in shale.
The water remaining in the
earth after the drilling process in
the Marcellus Shale Reserve con-
tains a number of toxic and carci-
nogenic chemicals including ben-
zene and formaldehyde, which
can cause a host of serious illness
in humans, Subra said.
She said Pennsylvania is "ill-
prepared" to deal with the poten-
tial hazards of natural gas drilling
in the state and further regula-
tions are needed to strengthened
environmental protections.
"For years, the natural gas in-
dustry has been disposing of
fracking waste in municipal sew-
agetreatment plants," saidSubra.
"The problemwiththis is that the
plants are not designed to treat
fracking water, and adding chlo-
rine to the waste only produces
additional toxic compounds."
Subra continued that until en-
vironmental scientists inter-
vened by raising concerns, Penn-
sylvania allowed gas drillers to
use waste water in sprinkler
trunks "to tamp down dust" near
drilling areas.
Additional information on the
potential health hazards from
Pennsylvanias natural gas drill-
ing industry are available at the
Gas Drilling Awareness Coali-
tions website, GDACoalition.org.
Subra, who appeared in the
award-winning 2009 documen-
tary "Gasland," about the poten-
tial health and environmental
hazards associated with the natu-
ral gas drilling industry, gradu-
ated from Southeast Louisiana
University and is a past winner of
the MacArthur Award for Chem-
istry. Subra was profiled on
CNNs Health Report; and was
votedone of 2012s "fiercest wom-
en" in 2010.
She is the president of the Sub-
raCompany, whichprovidestech-
nical assistance to individuals
and community groups dealing
with natural gas drilling and oth-
er environmental issues.

Drilling
has many
hazards
Dr. Wilma Subra said gas
waste is exempt from federal
hazardous waste laws.
By STEVEN FONDO
Subra
The question of whether the
millions of gallons of water and
chemical additives injected un-
derground by companies drilling
for gas intheMarcellus andother
shale basins can seep into aquif-
ers has been the source of some
controversy surrounding uncon-
ventional gas drilling.
Though it has largely been
brushed off by the industry be-
cause the Marcellus lies thou-
sands of feet below the aquifer
level, a new study by geologists
from Duke University and Cali-
fornia State Polytechnic Univer-
sity at Pomona suggests that wa-
ter originating far belowaquifers
has entered Northeastern Penn-
sylvania drinking water sources
in the past, and
that geologic
pathways for
contamination
exist.
The study,
published in
the most re-
cent issue of
the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, examined
water samples taken from more
than 150 wells in six Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania counties and
found brine and other elements
likely originating in layers of
earth much deeper than the
aquifer level. However, it also
found no link with the proximity
of natural gas wells.
The study has already become
a political football. Some natural
gas opponents champion it as
evidence that drilling additives
are polluting aquifers. Support-
ers, among them industry group
Energy In Depth, question the
validity and relevance of its find-
ings.
Terry Engelder, the Penn State
professor of geosciences whose
hydraulic fracturing research
fueled the Marcellus gas boom,
also criticized the study in a let-
ter to the Proceedings of the Na-
tional Academy of Sciences.
Among other criticisms, En-
gelder notes that the study does
not establish a time frame for
when the brine may have per-
meated aquifers was it 100
years ago or one million and
says the study suggests without
grounds that the seepage came
from the Marcellus rather than
another deep rock layer. He also
states that theMarcellus andoth-
er gas shales aregoodseals that
wouldnt allow liquids to pass
through.
As Wilkes professor Ken Kle-
mow summarized, theres an
undercurrent in his feedback
that the Duke folks dont really
understand Northeastern Penn-
sylvania geology.
Klemow, head of the Institute
for Energy and Environmental
Research and chair of Wilkes
Biology and GeoEnvironmental
Science departments, called the
dispute between the study au-
thors and Engelder emblematic
of thedifficultyinherent instudy-
ing the Marcellus Shale scientif-
ically.
Such disagreements happen
all the time in science, Klemow
said, and often scientists try to
work them out by combining
their efforts in new studies.
The problem though is that
being that this relates to Marcel-
lus Shale, we are now in this
white-hot public debate where
people will use this research to
support their own views on
whether drilling is a good or a
bad thing, Klemow said.
For his part, Klemow said the
study does provide some evi-
dence that there appears to be a
connection between deep
ground water and shallow
ground water and this is some-
thing that deserves further atten-
tion.
It seems to me that they were
able to find signatures that do
match up with what you find in
muchdeeper rockformations. To
that end Imimpressed by the so-
phistication of their analyses and
the thought that they put into
both designing the experiments
and the results, Klemow said,
but added, the data are open
to very different interpretations,
and I would be very careful to
draw any kind of conclusions
based on their findings.
More solid answers may be
forthcoming. The U.S. Depart-
ment of Energy plans to examine
whether fluids used in hydraulic
fracturing can impact groundwa-
ter, and it was announced last
weekthat adrillingcompanywill
give researchers access to a well
pad in southwestern Pennsylva-
nia before, during and after frac-
turing as part of that research.
Study results give ammunition to both sides of drilling
Study focused on whether
materials used in fracking
can seep into aquifers.

The truth sometimes depends
on whom you ask.
In the film Truthland, Susque-
hanna County resident Shelly
Depue embarks on a cross-coun-
try journey to learn
the truth about
natural gas drilling
and its impact on
the environment
byinterviewingsci-
entists, environ-
mental regulators,
industry professionals and resi-
dents of drilling areas.
The film was funded by gas
drilling companies and industry-
sponsored group Energy In
Depth, which hosted a screening
Thursday at the Hilton Scranton
and Convention Center.
Thefilmnotes that neither De-
pue nor those interviewed were
paid for appearing in the movie,
though Depue does have a natu-
ral gas well pad on her property
for which she receives royalty
payments. Her son works for a
drilling company.
The film frames itself as an al-
ternative to the HBO documen-
tary Gasland, which left a blem-
ish on the gas industrys reputa-
tion. Energy In Depth has been
trying to scrub that reputation
cleansince Gaslands release sev-
eral years ago. Depues cross-
country journey begins, accord-
ing to the films narrative, after
she watches Gasland and has
second thoughts about the natu-
ral gas lease her family signed.
Id never spent much time
away from the farm, but getting
the truth was important for our
family, she says before depart-
ing. Guess its time to fire up the
Chevy for a road trip.
Depues trip is portrayed
through a series of interviews in
which she asks simple questions
with a folksy, know-nothing de-
livery to experts offered in
counterpoint to Gaslands
claims.
What is this fracking? she
asks Penn State professor Terry
Engelder, whose work pioneered
some of the hydraulic fracturing
techniques used in unconven-
tional drilling today. Is the U.S.
natural gas industry good or
bad? is another question she
brainstorms near the start of the
movie.
Some interviewees offer criti-
cism of Gasland. Former Penn-
sylvania Department of Environ-
mental Protection Secretary
John Hanger, who was also inter-
viewed by Gasland director Josh
Fox, says flatly that the Gasland
movie is misleading.
It has a mission; its mission is
to shut down the gas industry,
Hanger says. The truth about
the gas industry is much more
complex.
Theres a lot of companies do-
ing a real good job and some do-
ing a less good job, says Jim
Marston, director of the Environ-
mental Defense Fund. most of
the problems we see in the nat-
ural gas area are due to poor well
construction ... or spilling stuff
on the ground.
Others, though, offer little
more than loosely supported
opinions.
Drilling caused a problem in
Dimock, the Susquehanna Coun-
ty town at the center of Foxs
film, but the industry fixed it,
says a Dimock landowner, who
contends those who still arent
happy are seeking to get rich
froma lawsuit. AShreveport, La.
pastor hasnt noticed noise or air
pollution from the drilling pad
near his church, so presumably
no one else has either.
Considerable time is spent
debunking the image that has
become synonymous with Gas-
land; that of homeowners light-
ing their tap water on fire, pre-
sumably as a result of nearby gas
drilling.
The flaming faucet, Depue
says. Everyone around here
knows its a natural thing. Its
been going on for generations;
way before natural gas.
There is also a strong under-
current portrayingFoxas aPenn-
sylvania outsider who unfairly
portrayed the impact of drilling
in Susquehanna County, Colora-
do and elsewhere to advance his
career as a filmmaker.
He lives inNewYork City and
makes movies for a living; Im
just a Pennsylvania mom, De-
pue says near the start of the
film. Later, she concludes that
so much in Gasland is either
half true, unfairly presented or
just plain false. I was beginning
to doubt Josh Foxs motives.
The comments during the
panel discussion that followed
the screening indicated the film
had little impact on the mostly
pro-drilling crowd of about 40.
I alreadyknewthat a lot of the
stuff that was in Gasland was
false, said James Bounty Jr. of
Mehoopany, adding he learned
from his grandmother that his
well water was flammable from
the time he was 6 years old.
The handful of drilling oppo-
nents in the crowd probably we-
rent swayed either.
Kelly Finan of Hop Bottom
calledthe filma 35-minute com-
mercial for the gas industry.
I think this woman (Depue)
is really nice but shes been mis-
led, Finan said.
But those who would go out of
their way to attend a screening
like Thursdays event in Scran-
tonmay not be the only audience
the films producers and propo-
nents are trying to reach.
This is an opportunity for
each one of us to get involved
andpass it on, saidTrevor Walc-
zak, of the National Association
of Royalty Owners, Pennsylva-
nia. When my brother in Indi-
ana first saw Gasland he called
me up and said do you see whats
goingon; this is your backyard....
Now theres something I can
show him.

sions of interviews within can be

NIKO J. KALLIANIOTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Trevor Walczak, of the National Association of Royalty Owners, Pennsylvania, right, answers a
question as John Augustine of the Marcellus Shale Coalition and Shelly DePue look on, Thursday.
In Truthland, Susquehanna
County teacher Shelly Depue
travels cross country to learn
the facts about hydraulic frac-
turing, but Tammy Manning
thinks Depue would have heard
a different story if she just went
down the street.
Manning lives about a mile
from Depue in Franklin Town-
ship, Susquehanna County. Her
water well is located about
7,000 feet from the gas drilling
pad on Depues property and
about 4,000 feet from a well pad
on another property.
Shes never been here to ask
us any questions or anything,
Manning said. I certainly
wouldnt have given the gas
company a good review if she
would have come here and
asked my opinion.
Manning said she has never
met Depue, though Depue said
at Thursdays Truthland screen-
ing that they had met and spo-
ken several weeks ago.
On Dec. 6, Manning said her
well, which always had a little
tiny bit of methane in it, erupt-
ed with bubbles of natural gas.
You could shine a flashlight
into our well and it looked like
it was at a rolling boil, all the
methane that was coming out
of it, she said.
Initial tests by the Pennsylva-
nia Department of Environ-
mental Protection found gas in
the well to be 82 percent me-
thane before the well was vent-
ed, Manning said. The operator
of the two wells near her prop-
erty, WPX Energy, has provided
drinking water to Manning and
two other Franklin Township
residents since the incident.
Manning said she isnt sure
whether the methane contam-
ination originated with the
Depue pad or the closer, Hol-
lenback well pad, as DEPs
investigation of the incident has
not concluded. Manning and
her husband, Matt, have filed a
lawsuit in federal district court
against WPX, alleging negli-
gence on the companys part,
though she doesnt blame De-
pue for what happened.
We dont hold it against the
Depue family or the Hollenback
family Manning said.
Depue also said there is no
bad blood between her and
Manning, and hinted that the
methane contamination in
Mannings well may have been
natural or unrelated to the well
on her property.
The lawsuit is not against us
and we understand that, she
said. Thats a lawsuit against
WPX She lives a mile and a
half away and theres lots of
other water wells in between
that have no water problems at
all.
Depues involvement in
Truthland, however, was a
different story for Manning.
If she doesnt like what were
saying thats too bad, she said.
I dont think other people
should have this happen to
them because they dont know
whats going on. We want to
inform the people in the next
county or the next state that
this can happen to them. It
doesnt happen to everybody,
but it happened to us.

PHILADELPHIA
Bishop faces old complaint
A
uthorities have reopened a 2007
fondling complaint against a priest
who taught at a suburban Philadelphia
high school and is now the Roman
Catholic bishop of West Virginia.
The complaint stems from Bishop
Michael Bransfields days at Lansdale
Catholic High School in the 1970s. The
Philadelphia Archdiocese said it did
not find the complaint credible at the
time, and passed it on to Montgomery
County authorities.
But the archdiocese said last week
that the complaint has been reopened.
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia
promptly reported the allegation
against Bishop Bransfield to the Mont-
gomery County D.A.s office in 2007. ...
The situation is again being reviewed
by law enforcement authorities,
spokesman Kenneth Gavin said in an
email.
The development comes with the
recently completed Philadelphia priest-
abuse trial in which a witness testified
that a priest who abused him told him
that Bransfield was sexually involved
with a young teen.

in an ad Saturday that aimed to
keep his rival on the defensive
just as the Republican challen-
gers campaign hoped to take
advantage of poor economic da-
ta to gain an edge on the incum-
bent.
Obama met Romneys plea
for an apology for the attacks
with a mocking ad that charged
that the firmshipped American
jobs to China and Mexico, that
Romney has personal wealth in
investments in Switzerland,
Bermuda and the Cayman Is-
lands, and that as Massachu-
settsgovernor, hesent statejobs
to India.
Mitt Romneys not the solu-
tion. Hes the problem, the ads
says as Romneyis heardsinging
America the Beautiful.
Pressure was building on
Romney from within his own
party to be more forthcoming
with his finances, a day after he
declared he would not release
past income tax returns beyond
his 2010 tax records and, before
the November election, his 2011
taxes
On the sidelines of the Na-
tional Governors Association
meeting in Williamsburg, Ala-
bamas Republican governor,
Robert Bentley, called on Rom-
neytoreleaseall thedocuments

If you have things to hide,
then maybe youre doing things
wrong, Bentley said. I think
you ought to be willing to re-
lease everything to the Ameri-
can people.

BEND, Ore. An Oregon gas station
owner andanIraqi adventurer tryingtofly
from Central Oregon to Montana in tan-
dem lawn chairs suspended from party
balloons made a hardlandingSaturday af-
ter havingtoabort their flight duetothun-
derstorms but their craft kept flying.
Kent Couch and Fareed Lafta were
about seven hours into their flight when
they were forced to descend, coming
down near a reservoir about 30 miles east
of their starting point. But after they
scrambled out of the contraption, it float-
ed up again, flight organizer Mark Know-
les said.
They came down hard, Knowles said
by cellphone. The craft went back up. Its
sitting up in the sky right above us.
Earlier Saturday, about 90 volunteers
and several hundred onlookers counted
down and then cheered as the pair lifted
off fromCouchs Shell gas stationinBend.
Volunteers had filled 350 5-foot diame-
ter red, white, blue and black balloons
with helium and tied them to Couchs
homemade tandem lawn chair rig. The
balloons were arranged in bunches to rep-
resent thecolorsof theU.S. andIraqi flags.
An American flag flewfromthe bottomof
the framework supporting the chairs.
The duo safely cleared a two-story mo-
tel, a coffee stand and a light post, then
floated about 30 miles north. Winds
pushed them back to the south before
sending them to the east, the direction
they wanted to go.
But thunderstorms gathering in the re-
gion forced them to abort the flight, de-
scending froman altitude of about 10,000
feet, Knowles said.
Before the flight, Couch said landing
was the scariest part of his several lawn
chair balloon flights.
Look up in the sky. Its a bird. Its a plane. Its a lawn chair?

WASHINGTONIn a victory
for Republicans, the federal gov-
ernment has agreedtolet Florida
use a law enforcement database
to challenge peoples right to
vote if they are suspected of not
being U.S. citizens.
The agreement, made in a let-
ter to Florida Gov. Rick Scotts
administration that was ob-
tained by The Associated Press,
grants the state access to a list of
resident noncitizens maintained
by the Homeland Security De-
partment. The Obama adminis-
tration had denied Floridas re-
quest for months but relented af-
ter a judge ruled in the states fa-
vor in a related voter-purge
matter.
Voting rights groups, while ac-
knowledging that noncitizens
have no right to vote, have ex-
pressed alarm about using such
data for a purpose not originally
intended: purging voter lists of
ineligible people. They also say
voter purges less than four
months before a presidential
election might leave insufficient
time to correct mistakes stem-
ming from faulty data or other
problems.
Democrats say that the gov-
ernments concession is less
troubling than some GOP-con-
trolled states push to require
voters to show photo identifica-
tion.
But Republicans count it as a
victory nonetheless in their
broad-based fight over voter eli-
gibility, an issue that could play a
big role in the White House race.
Thats especially true in pivotal
states such as Florida, Colorado,
Nevada and North Carolina.
Republican officials in several
states say they are trying to com-
bat voter fraud. Democrats, how-
ever, note that proven cases of
voter fraud are rare. They accuse
Republicans of cynical efforts to
suppress voting by people in low-
er socio-economic groups who
tend to vote Democratic.
The Homeland Security deci-
sion may affect places beyond
Florida, because Colorado and
other states have asked for simi-
lar access tothe federal database.

KABUL, Afghanistan Asuicide bom-
ber blew himself up among guests at a
wedding hall Saturday in northern Af-
ghanistan, killing 23 people including a
prominent ex-Uzbek warlord turned law-
maker who was the father of the bride.
The attack was the latest to target top
figures fromthecountrys minoritygroups
and dealt a blow to efforts to unify ethnic
factions amid growing concerns that the
country could descend into civil war after
foreign combat troops withdrawin 2014.
Ahmad Khan Samangani, an ethnic Uz-
bek who commanded forces fighting the
Soviets in the 1980s and later became a
member of parliament, was welcoming
guests tohis daughters weddingSaturday
morning when the blast ripped through
the building in Aybak, the capital of Sa-
mangan province.
Three Afghan security force officials al-
so were among those killed. About 60 oth-
er people, including government officials,
were woundedinthe attack, whichleft the
wedding halls floor covered with shat-
tered glass, blood and other debris.
Dead bodies were piled into the back of
Afghan security force vehicles. Afghan Ar-
my helicopters ferriedsome of the wound-
ed fromthe wedding hall.
The bride and groomsurvived, but nev-
er got the chance to exchange vows.
There was no immediate claim of re-
sponsibility for Saturdays attack.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid
saidinaphonecall that theTalibanneither
confirmed nor denied responsibility for
the attack.

NEW YORK The photo-
graph, scratched and undated, is
captioned Brother Jordan An-
derson. He is a middle-aged
black man with a long beard and
a righteous stare, as if he were a
preacher locking eyes with a sin-
ner, or a judge about to dispatcha
thief to the gallows.
Anderson was a former slave
who was freed from a Tennessee
plantation by Union troops in
1864 and spent his remaining 40
years in Ohio. He lived quietly
and likely would have been for-
gotten, if not for a remarkable let-
ter to his former master publish-
ed in a Cincinnati newspaper
shortly after the Civil War.
Treasured as a social docu-
ment, praised as a masterpiece of
satire, Andersons letter has been
anthologized and published all
over the world. Historians teach
it, and the letter turns up occa-
sionallyonablogor onFacebook.
Humorist Andy Borowitz read
the letter recentlyandcalledit, in
anemail toTheAssociatedPress,
something Twain would have
been proud to have written.
Addressed to one Col. Patrick
Henry Anderson, whoapparently
wanted Jordan to come back to
the plantation east of Nashville,
the letter begins cheerfully, with
the former slave expressing relief
that you had not forgotten Jor-
don (there are various spellings
of the name) and were promis-
ing to do better for me than any-
body else can. But, he adds, I
haveoftenfelt uneasyabout you.
He informs the colonel that
hes now making a respectable
wage in Dayton, Ohio, and that
his children are going to school.
He tallies the monetary value of
his services while on Andersons
plantation $11,608 then
adds, we have concluded to test
your sincerity by asking you to
sendus our wages for the time we
served you.
Turning serious, he alludes to
violence committed against
women back in Tennessee and
wonders what would happen to
his own family members. I
would rather stay here and starve
and die, if it come to that
than have my girls brought to
shame by the violence and wick-
edness of their young masters.
He asks if there are schools
nowfor blacks. The great desire
of my life now is to give my chil-
dren an education, and have
them form virtuous habits, he
writes.
Then he signs off with a swift,
unforgettable kick.
Say howdy to George Carter,
he says, and thank him for tak-
ing the pistol fromyou when you
were shooting at me.
Andersons words, a timeless
kiss-off to a hated boss, are also a
puzzle: How could an illiterate
man, newly released from bond-
age, produce such a work of so-
phisticated satire?
After the letter resurfaced on-
line earlier this year, along with
questions about its authenticity,
The Associated Press sought an-
swers.
From documents compiled by
the AP and in interviews with
scholars, Anderson emerges as a
very real person and the very real
author of his story though,
fromthe beginning, it was report-
ed to have been dictated. His
letter is an outstanding, but not
unique, testament to the ability
of slaves to turn horror into hu-
mor.
The sly irony is very much
in the Mark Twain style,
Twain biographer Ron Powers
says of the letter, especially the
request for unpaid wages.
Whammo.
It is that wonderful combi-
nation of serious thought and
satirical chastisement, says
Yale University history profes-
sor David Blight, who loves to
read the letter during a lecture
class on Reconstruction. It
represents so many definitions
of freedomdignity, access to
education, family. And in the
end, it also meant wages.
According to available re-
cords, Jordan Anderson was
born somewhere in Tennessee
around 1825 and by age 7 or 8
had been sold to a plantation
owned by Gen. Paulding An-
derson in Big Spring, Tenn. Pa-
trick Henry Anderson was one
of thegenerals sons and, bythe
mid-1840s owned Jordan and
other slaves. Jordan Anderson
married Amanda McGregor in
1848 and they apparently had
11 children.
Union troops camped on the
plantation, and Jordan was
freed in 1864 by the Provost-
Marshall-General of the De-
partment of Nashville.
Roy E. Finkenbine, a profes-
sor at the University of Detroit-
Mercy who is planning a biog-
raphy of Anderson, thinks its
likely Jordan was given to Pa-
trick (born in 1823) as a play-
mate and personal servant
when they were young.

PHILADELPHIA -- Eugene C.
Zorn Jr. wasnt prone to exagger-
ation. He was a nationally recog-
nized economist, a sober, no-
nonsense man who dealt with
facts and figures.
So his son, Robert, was caught
off guard when, in1980, the elder
Zorn offered an unusual preface
before launching into a story:
After you hear this, you may
think your old mans off his rock-
er.
I was driving and my hands
tightened on the steering
wheel, Robert Zorn recalled.
He never referred to himself as
my old man.
His father then began a rivet-
ing tale that kept the 22-year-old
Wharton School student up all
night.
He was convinced he had
solved the crime of the centu-
ry, the 1932 kidnapping of the
son of the aviator Charles Lind-
bergh from the familys home in
Hunterdon County, N.J., Eugene
Zorn said.
He knew the mastermind, a
mysterious figure known in the
press simply as Cemetery
John, and his younger brother,
Eugene Zornclaimed. They were
his neighbors in the South
Bronx.
Even more incendiary, he be-
lieved he had witnessed the pair
plotting the kidnapping with
Bruno R. Hauptmann, who was
convicted and executed in the
murder of the Lindbergh baby.
It was mind-boggling, said
Robert Zorn, a former software
company owner whose new
book, Cemetery John: The Un-
discovered Mastermind of the
Lindbergh Kidnapping, is the
subject of a Nova documentary
expected to be shown early next
year.
That night, I lay in my dorm
room, staring at the ceiling, he
said.
Eugene Zorn didnt think
about the men until 1963, when
he came across a True magazine
in a Dallas barbershop.
The cover story detailed the
case against Hauptmann and
mentioned suspected accomplic-
es, including Cemetery John,
who had never been arrested.
Zorn began to piece together
three-decade-old memories.
He was 15 in 1931 when neigh-
bor John Knoll, a German immi-
grant, offered to take him to Pal-
isades Amusement Park across
the Hudson River from Manhat-
tan.
Waiting for John (at the park)
was his youngest brother, Walter,
and a third German-speaking
man they called Bruno, Robert
Zorn said.
Eugene Zornheardthemtalk-
ing about Englewood, N.J., his
son recalled.
After reflecting on the long-
ago conversation, he became
convinced he had witnessed the
kidnappers early planning, Rob-
ert Zorn said.
John Knoll was Cemetery
John, Eugene Zorn told his son.
He thought the unfamiliar Bruno
was Hauptmann.
AndEnglewoodwas where the
Lindberghs were staying with
family while their home, near
Hopewell, was being built in
1931.
Zorn shared his information
with a handful of people, and
wrote to Lindbergh in 1972 - two
years before the aviator, famed
for his solo crossing of the Atlan-
tic, died. The letter was deliver-
edby Zorns friendRobert. B. An-
derson, who had been secretary
of the Navy and the treasury.
My father was an accom-
plished economist and had no
need for publicity, said Robert
Zorn, 54, of Dallas.
But Lindbergh didnt want to
open old wounds, the younger
Zorn said. According to his fa-
ther, Anderson watched as Lind-
bergh folded up the letter dis-
missively and stuffed it in a pock-
et.
Robert Zorn researched the
case with his father and prom-
ised him on his death bed, at age
90 in 2006, to someday tell the
story to the world.
Originally, said the younger
Zorn, he knew only what most
people knew about the highly
publicized crime, what the news-
papers and history books report-
ed.
Little Lindy, Charles Lind-
berghJr., was placedinhis cribat
8 p.m. on March1, 1932, and was
discovered missing at 10 p.m.
His father, known as Lucky
Lindy, discovered a handwrit-
ten ransom note on a radiator in
the nursery. It was filled with
spelling and grammatical errors,
but was clear enough: Lindbergh
was to pay $50,000.
Authorities put up a reward of
$25,000 for the childs return,
and the Lindberghs offered
$50,000 more.
Offers of help poured in from
the famous andinfamous, includ-
ing President Herbert C. Hoover,
who vowed to move heaven and
earth to find the baby, and im-
prisoned crime boss Al Capone,
who said he would assist in re-
turn for cash or legal favors.
A retired teacher and Bronx
personality, John F. Condon,
added $1,000 to the reward and
reached out - through a letter in a
local paper - to the kidnappers.
Unknown to police, a meeting
betweenCondonanda maniden-
tified as a kidnapper took place
at a Bronx cemetery. The man,
whoprovidedonly his first name,
came to be known as Cemetery
John.
A police sketch of the suspect,
based on Condons description,
closely resembles a photo of
John Knoll, obtained by Robert
Zorn in 2010. A fleshy lump on
Cemetery Johns right thumb
matched one seen in another
photo of Knoll. And writing on a
ransom envelope addressed to
Condon is strikingly similar to
samples of Knolls script in
Zorns possession.
Condon met Knoll again at an-
other Bronx cemetery and gave
him $50,000 in gold certificates
and regular currency, provided
by Lindbergh.
The suspect passed hima note
with the location of the 20-
month-old child: Little Lindy
was being held on a boat on Mar-
thas Vineyard. The vessel was
never found, and the infants
body was discovered May 12,
1932, by a truck driver about four
miles from Lindberghs home.
The boys skull was fractured.
New theory on Lindbergh kidnapping draws attention

NEW YORK An exhibition
on the history of lunch in New
York City over the past 150 years
serves up some delicious tidbits.
But dont rushto see it onyour
lunch hour. Youll want much
more time to digest all the vi-
sually appetizing props and dis-
plays at the free exhibition at the
New York Public Library on
Fifth Avenue.
Lunch Hour NYC transports
visitors back in time with sec-
tions and artifacts from the li-
brarys vast collection on street
foods, home lunches, school
lunches and the once popular
Horn & Hardart Automats. The
first gallery sets the stage with a
wooden cart filled with white
(faux) oysters, an aluminum
1960s hot dog stand with a red-
and-blue umbrella, a basket
piled high with pretzels and a
delivery bicycle purporting to
carry Chinese takeout.
It reveals that the midday
meal in colonial times was din-
ner but changed to lunch with
the advent of industrialization
and New Yorks importance as a
center of commerce and finance.
With that, the demand for a
quick, inexpensive lunch in-
creased.
New York was a city focused
on time, speed and efficiency,
the exhibition notes. Pocket
watches became widespread,
and punch clocks were intro-
duced to make sure employees
arrived and departed strictly on
time. The most important part
of the lunch break was not the
food but howlong it took to eat.
Theres something unique to
New York, this emphasis on
speed and efficiency and getting
back to work and making mon-
ey, said Rebecca Federman, the
NYPLs culinary librarian and
co-curator with culinary histori-
an Laura Shapiro.
Visitors also learn the etymol-
ogy of the word lunch as pro-
vided by Samuel Johnson in
1755. He defined it as as much
food as ones hand can hold a
description even more apt today
withsuchstaples as sandwiches,
pizzas and falafels among pop-
ular lunchtime items.
Anyone old enough to remem-
ber the Automat that dispensed
sandwiches, hot dishes and des-
serts through coined-operated
compartments from 1912-1991
will delight in seeing an original
on display at the exhibition.
There are no edible items now
but the exhibition offers the
next best thing: The small glass
cubicles are filled with original
Horn &Hardart recipes for such
dishes as macaroni and cheese
and creamed spinach.
Clips from films with scenes
featuring the Automat play near-
by, including That Touch of
Mink from 1962 with Doris
Day.
In the home lunches section
decorated like a 1950s apart-
ment complete with white-and-
red checked Formica table and
matching chairs an array of
colorful recipe books line a pink
wall, andmetal storybook lunch-
boxes fill another.
Cafeteria and restaurant me-
nus, handwritten and printed,
also are on display, part of the li-
brarys 45,000-menu collection
dating from 1842 to the present
and started by one of its long-
time volunteers, Miss Frank E.
Buttolph.

HARRISBURG No matter
what people say about Pennsylva-
nias new photo ID requirement
for voting, the debate is clearly
filling the summertime void in
this high-stakes election year.
Four months before the new
mandate takes effect on Election
Day, Nov. 6, voting rights advo-
cates were sounding the alarm
and demanding that Republican
Gov. Tom Corbett and the Legis-
lature postpone it so that the
states 8.2 million voters can be
more thoroughly educated about
the change.
At least two lawsuits challeng-
ing the constitutionality of the
law are pending in state Com-
monwealth Court one filed by
a legal team that includes the
AmericanCivil Liberties Unionof
Pennsylvania, the other by the Al-
legheny County Board of Elec-
tions. A trial on the ACLU suit is
scheduled to start July 25.
Voters themselves, meanwhile,
apparentlylove the statute, one of
the nations most stringent voter
ID laws. A Quinnipiac University
poll released in June showed vot-
ers supportedthelawbya2-1mar-
gin.
Republicans, whose majorities
in the House and Senate crafted
and passed the law without a sin-
gle Democratic vote, seem eager
to see the effects of the new re-
quirement.
While GOP leaders generally
hew to the party line that the law
is a common-sense precaution
against election fraud, state
House Majority Leader Mike Tur-
zai recently gained notoriety
when he boasted at a party event
that it would allow Republican
nominee-apparent Mitt Romney
to carry Pennsylvania inthe presi-
dential election.
Democrats contend that the
law is a thinly disguised effort to
suppress the vote for President
Barack Obama. They predict that
it will disenfranchise many poor
people, senior citizens andminor-
ities, who are less than likely to
have the photo IDs that all voters
will havetoshowinorder for their
ballots to count.
Democrats suggest that Turzai,
R-Allegheny, implied as much in
his comment during last months
meeting of the Republican State
Committee and credited the re-
mark for a recent spike in cam-
paign fundraising and at least a
doubling in the pace of volunteer
recruitment.
I think that was probably what
a lot of people were thinking, but
to have an elected official of his
stature to come out and say that
really lit a fire under our base,
said party spokesman Mark Ni-
castre. Many of the volunteers
have specifically asked how they
can help voters comply with the
law, he said.
Why are they (Democrats)
fighting a measure that only
fights fraud and corruption?
grumbled Turzai spokesman
Steve Miskin, who maintains that
his boss comment was taken out
of context.
GroundzerointhephotoIDde-
bate is the State Department, the
Corbett administration agency in
charge of overseeing Pennsylva-
nias county-run elections, which
seems under siege these days as it
shoulders responsibility for edu-
cating voters about the new law
and tweaking policies in an at-
tempt to make it more user-
friendly.
But the department, which
originally estimated only 1 per-
cent of Pennsylvania voters
lacked a drivers license or other
acceptable ID, set off a small
bombshell around the July 4 holi-
day by announcing a database
comparison showing that more
than 758,000 voters, or nearly 8
percent, lacked any PennDOT-is-
suedID. That promptedanoutcry
from critics of the law and their
calls for the law to be postponed.
Corbett shrugged off the devel-
opment at a news conference this
week, assertingthat theearlier es-
timates of how many voters
lacked valid IDs were all guesses
as to what it might be.
Debate continues over Pa. voter ID
Voting rights backers demand
governor postpone law until
voters can be educated.

Health Plan, but with14,000 ben-
efit-eligible employees it is the
largest.
Eleven employers are offering
some form of the program, ac-
cording to Allison Hess, director
of wellness programs for the
health plan, and five additional
groups are in the process of roll-
ing out similar programs.
This is an industry-wide
trend, Hess said. I think Geisin-
ger was probably one of the pio-
neers init but we are seeing anin-
crease across the industry. I be-
lieve a lot of it is around manag-
ing costs and developing a more
cost-effective population man-
agement strategy, andI alsothink
employers areseekingopportuni-
ties to be involved around well-
ness programs and being active
in their health care.
Blue Cross of Northeastern
Pennsylvania also offers a num-
ber of wellness programs employ-
ers may choose to offer their em-
ployees.
Hess said the program demon-
strates the evolution of employee
wellness programs over the last
five to 10 years. A few years ago,
employers offered little more
thana walkingprogram, she said.
The traditional voluntary
type programs are definitely on
the decline and employers are
looking at incentive programs
that drive behavior change,
Hess said.
Offering an incentive program
will not immediately change the
overall cost of health care for an
employer, Hess said, but its
based on the idea that employees
who lead healthier lives will use
health insurance less frequently,
and therefore rein in costs over
time. Healthier employees also
have lower absentee rates, she
added, and tend to be more pro-
ductive when they are present.
Employers have options in set-
ting up the program, Hess said.
Some have offeredincentives like
gift cards, while others lower the
deductible employees pay rather
than the premiums.
There are limits to how many
pounds the employers will ask
employees to drop. Even if it
doesnt bring them within the
BMI boundaries, an employee
who loses 12 pounds by October
will qualify for the discount rate
even if his or her BMI is still
above the maximum, and any of
the conditions can be lifted at a
doctors recommendation. Em-
ployees with diabetes, for exam-
ple, could be exempted from
blood glucose requirements with
a physicians approval.
There are also legal limits on,
for example, how great a differ-
ence may exist between the pre-
miums paid by employees attain-
ing and not attaining fitness
goals.
Geisinger Health System has
set a relatively low hurdle in es-
tablishing eligibility require-
ments. ToqualifyintheBMI cate-
gory, for example, an employee
must have a BMI below30, which
the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services defines as
the dividing line between over-
weight and obese. Employees
must also be nonsmokers or quit
smoking to qualify.
Some employees have ex-
pressed discomfort about big
brother overtones in the idea,
Heffers said, but overall it has
generated interest and excite-
ment. About 8,000 employees, or
more than 57 percent of the total,
have signed up.
I ran into one individual who
took the 12 pounds (she needs to
lose to qualify) and divided by
what she thought it would be
worth (in lower annual premi-
ums), Heffers said. Shethought
that she was worth $25 a pound,
andthat she woulddo it for that.

an outspoken critic of council,
crossed the railing to pour him-
self a glass of water.
Its a historic building, Bar-
rett said. That railing is prob-
ably as old as the building and
Im not in any hurry to remove
it.
The railingis lowenoughthat
council members and meeting
attendees canlookeachother in
the face while seated, but does
provide him a certain sense of
security during meetings that
have become increasingly con-
tentious, Barrett said.
Urban also suggests the rail
presents an illegal barrier pre-
venting disabled or wheelchair-
bound residents from address-
ing council. Barrett responded
that the gap in the rail is wide
enough for a wheelchair to pass
through, andthat council has al-
ways made accommodations to
allow disabled persons to at-
tend meetings and speak.
Councilman Tony George
said he has no problem with
the rail being there or not being
there but said he believes it is
up to the city administration to
make the decision to keep or
dismantle the railing since it is
part of the citys buildings and
grounds.
Councilwoman Maureen La-
velle said she doesnt find the
rail intimidating, and that re-
moving it could actually be a
hindrance to doing business.
You could have a throng of
people just pushing through,
she said. As it is nowyou could
actually conduct business and
speak with people.
Mayor Thomas Leighton and
council members Mike Merritt
and George Brown did not re-
turn requests for comment Sat-
urday.
RAILING
ing in January, The New York
Times reported Saturday.
The amended contract, which
was reported on by The Associ-
ated Press in April, included a $3
million career bonus if Paterno
retired at the end of the 2011sea-
son, as well as well as forgive-
ness of $250,000 in outstanding
indebtedness and an additional
$100,000 in loans.
The package also included ac-
cess to a stadiumbox for his fam-
ily for 25 years as well as parking
privileges and access to on-cam-
pus hydrotherapy equipment for
his wife.
The newspaper cited universi-
ty records in saying Paterno first
broached the idea of revisiting
his contact in January, the same
month he made a brief appear-
ance before the grand jury, and
some top university officials had
also testified before the panel be-
fore the agreement was reached
in August.
But the paper, citing people
with knowledge of the events,
said details of the agreement
were known to a handful of
board members but not shared
with the full board, which only
learned about the lucrative con-
tract when Sandusky was arrest-
ed in November and two univer-
sity officials were charged.
Paterno then publicly an-
nounced he would retire at the
end of the season in a statement
that also told school trustees to
focus their attention on other
matters.
I have decided to announce
my retirement effective at the
end of this season. At this mo-
ment the Board of Trustees
should not spend a single min-
ute discussing my status. They
have far more important matters
to address. I want to make this as
easy for them as I possibly can,
Paterno said at the time. This is
a tragedy. It is one of the great
sorrows of my life. With the ben-
efit of hindsight, I wish I had
done more.
Trustees, who agreed Paterno
had not done enough to stop the
abuse, fired him later that same
day, a decision that was followed
by rioting in State College. Pa-
terno died of lung cancer in Ja-
nuary at age 85. Sandusky is
awaiting sentencing after being
convicted of 45 counts of having
molesting 10 boys over a 15-year
period.
Paterno family attorney Wick
Sollers told the Times on Friday
that it was Penn State that pro-
posed the lucrative retirement
package, and that many ele-
ments such as the luxury box
and use by Paterno of a private
aircraft had existed in previous
contracts.
Asked Friday if the university
planned to try recover money
fromthe Paterno estate, trustees
chairwoman Karen Peetz said,
Contracts are contracts, andno,
theres no plan to do that.
PATERNO
own funds to proceed with the
project.
The authority canceled its July
meeting and will next meet the
third week of August, Reilly said.
Lawton informed the authority
of his plans to halt the funding in
May. He saidthe $2millionwould
have come froma community de-
velopment loan fund primarily in-
tended to create jobs.
The renovation would create
space to relocate several county
offices but not increase jobs, he
said. A sale also would return the
property to the tax rolls, Lawton
said.
The county gave the authority
$6.1 million six years ago to pur-
chase and develop the 143-year-
old former Central Railroad of
NewJerseystation. Theauthority
paid $5.8 million to buy the prop-
erty from businessman Thom
Greco, based on appraisals. The
complexalsoincludesastripmall.

An old dining car at the Market Street Square complex in Wilkes-Barre was auctioned off nearly two
months ago but hasnt budged because the presence of asbestos will impact its removal for scrap.
BALTIMORE A doctor
who ran against Mitt Romney
for Massachusetts governor a
decade ago is poised to do it
again, this time as the Green
Partys presidential nominee.
Jill Stein, an internist from
Lexington, Mass., acknowledg-
es that her candidacy is a super
long shot. Still, she notes that a
growing number of people are
expressing frustration with the
two major political parties and
she cites the Occupy Wall Street
movement as an example of
that.
We are in it to win it, but
were also in it to build it, and
thosearebothwins inmybook,
Stein, 62, said in an interviewat
the Green Par-
tys conven-
tion in Balti-
more, where
she was pre-
pared to give
her accept-
ance speech in
the afternoon.
Steinwas far aheadof comedi-
an Roseanne Barr for the party
nod. Conventionorganizers said
Barr was not expectedtoattend.
Stein hopes the party will
qualify in at least 40 states, but
the total now stands at 21 and
does not include state hosting
the convention. Stein also notes
that the Green Party has quali-
fied for federal matching funds
for the first time in its 11-year
history.

ber of rental properties. Tenants
span the occupancy spectrum
fromweeks toyears, andwithout
an ordinance requiring registra-
tion of tenants the borough has
no idea whomthey are.
It behooves us to know, said
the mayor.
For proponents, the ordinanc-
es goalongwaytowardeliminat-
ing nuisance properties and
problems associated with them.
But for at least one property
manager, theygoafter the wrong
people, holding a third party ac-
countable for the actions of oth-
ers.

lepartyresponsible, not themost
responsible person, said Jim
Straub, who manages 54 proper-
ties in three municipalities with

Among leader in renters
Theshootingsthenight of July
7that left threepeopledeadanda
fourth in critical condition oc-
curred in what Petrosky de-
scribed as a nice neighborhood
with a mix of single family
houses and apartments. The
building where the shooting oc-
curred had several apartments.
The most recent housing data
from the 2010 Census showed a
total of 3,140housingunits inthe
West Side borough with a total
population of 5,951.
Of the total units, 2,575 were
occupied. Of that,1,360or53per-
cent were owner-occupied com-
pared to1,215 or 47 percent rent-
er-occupied.
There were 3,158 residents in
the owner-occupied units and
2,785 living in the renter-occu-
pied units.
Were one of the leaders in
renters, said Frank Coughlin,
president of Plymouth council.
In the past, young people left
to get an education and did not
returntoliveandworkinthebor-
ough, he explained.
When their elderly parents
died the children did not want
the family homesteads and sold
them, sometimes to out-of-town
buyers who neglected the prop-
erties and did not care whom
they rented to, he added.
Coughlins beenthe point man
on the boroughs planned ordi-
nance for more than a year. He
said he routinely looks at ordi-
nances in an effort to update
them.
The first time I think I dis-
cussed this at council was April
2011, he said, to dispel any talk
the ordinance was done in haste
in reaction to the shootings.
Drafting the ordinance
Plymouth has an ordinance
imposing a $25 fee on landlords
for an occupancy permit when
someone moves into a rental
unit.
After looking at landlord ten-
ant ordinances from Kingston,
Forty Fort and Edwardsville and
from around the state, Coughlin
saidhepickedwhat werethebest
points from them and conferred
withboroughsolicitor Mike Kos-
telansky on drafting the ordi-
nance.
Its expectedtobepresentedat
the Aug. 14 council meeting for a
vote so something can be on the
books, he said. Amendments can
be made as needed.
This ordinance isnt going to
stop everything, Coughlin said.
Straub, who manages proper-
ties for his Kingston-based com-
pany DreamRentals, viewed the
ordinances as well intentioned,
but misdirected.
Were business people, he
said of others like him.
He compared the ordinances
to going after the gas station
where a person filled up their car
and then drove it to rob a bank.
I think most of these places
that pass these laws, it gives
themagoodfeelingtheyredoing
something, Straub said.
Sure there are bad landlords,
hesaid, but moresotherearein-
experienced landlords.
He acknowledged seeing
changes in the Wyoming Valley
over the years as a manager.
Theres a lot more things you
have to worry about, he said.
He said he screens tenants,
does credit checks and doesnt
rent to anyone whos been evic-
ted.
Goingastepfurtherthansome
ordinances, he said, I work on
two strikes youre out.
Instead of coming down on
landlords, the towns should
work with them to solve prob-
lems, he said.
Its a tough racket. I sympa-
thize with these towns, he said.
Lacking three-strikes
Coughlin sawit differently.
If the manager or landlord did
the right thing, why should you
have a problem? he asked.
The boroughs ordinance
would require landlords to regis-
ter the number of rental units
and the number of occupants in
eachone. Thenames will bekept
on file with the borough.
Coughlin said he couldnt an-
swer howthe planned ordinance
would have made a difference in
the case of the shootings. But the
borough would have the names
of the personor people supposed
to be living there.
At least we would know if
there should be five people or 25
people or if it just didnt match
up, he said.
Plymouths ordinance lacks
the three-strikes language con-
tainedwithinthe Forty Fort ordi-
nance for intolerable behavior
committed by tenants, including
actions that result in citations,
fines and warnings by the code
enforcement, police and fire de-
partments.
In Forty Fort landlords must
report the behavior to borough
officials and include a clause in
their agreements with tenants
spelling out that after three-
strikes it leads to immediate
eviction proceedings.
Coughlin said the Plymouth
ordinanceis morelikeKingstons
whichdirects landlords to use all
legal means to evict tenants who
routinely engage in disorderly
conduct, disturb the public
peace, create excessive noise or
violate the states criminal laws
relatingtodealingdrugs three or
more times within a 60-day peri-
od or more than eight times in a
consecutive 12-month time
frame.
Weve successfully used that
eight times, said Paul Keating,
Kingstons municipal adminis-
trator.
Kingston enacted its ordi-
nance in September 2010 to en-
sure everyone required to do so
paid the1.999 percent earned in-
come tax and to make sure land-
lords maintained their proper-
ties and their tenants were good
neighbors.
Some landlords have com-
plainedabout the$25chargedfor
an occupancy license for each
unit and inquired what the bor-
ough does with the money, Keat-
ing said.
The borough has hired two
code enforcement officers since
enacting the ordinance and each
month issues letters and cita-
tions to property owners, said
Keating.
Keating said he, Mayor James
Haggertyandthesolicitor arego-
ing to reviewthe ordinance, look
at its effectiveness and identify
weaknessesandtakethechanges
to council for consideration.
Keating likened the ordinance
to any tool used by the munici-
pality to deal with issues.
Its necessary any more with
the increase in the amount of
transient residents that pass
through our area, said Keating.
Crime, decay and problems do
not have political boundaries.
ORDINANCE
Kingston: Ordinance directs
landlords to use all legal means
to evict tenants who routinely
engage in disorderly conduct,
disturb the public peace, create
excessive noise, or violate those
criminal laws of the Common-
wealth of Pennsylvania relating
to the illegal distribution of
drugs.
Forty Fort: Ordinance sets a
three-strike limit as a trigger
for eviction of renters who en-
gage in intolerable behavior
defined as an action that results
in either a warning, citation, fine
or the like from the code en-
forcement officer and/or a police
officer and a response from the
fire department for a man-made
action, such as arson, accidental
fire, etc.
Wilkes-Barre: Ordinance de-
fines disruptive conduct by a
renter or a visitor of regulated
rental-unit as behavior that is in
violation of existing ordinances
of the City of Wilkes-Barre or the
statutes of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. Its applicable
under the ordinance if a citation
or criminal complaint is success-
fully prosecuted by police or a
guilty plea is entered before a
district justice. If there are three
violations within a license year,
code enforcement shall direct the
property owner to evict the
renter.
O T H E R C O M M U N I T I E S
College.
Police are going to see more
and more homicides (locally) re-
lating to the drug industry, he
said. It just goes hand-in-hand.
Lindenmuth, a former long-
time detective with the Bristol
Township Police Department
near Philadelphia and a former
special agent with the Depart-
ment of Justice, said homicides
relating to drugs have been a
probleminlarger cities like Phila-
delphia for years.
This area is behind the times
due to the fact that this type of
crime hasnt been occurring for
some time, Lindenmuth said.
When I came here14 years ago, I
was surprisedthat peoplehadthe
ability to keep their houses and
doors unlocked. The times have
changed.
Paranoia factor
In most cases, people involved
with selling drugs use the drugs
themselves, Lindenmuth said.
That drug use can cause para-
noia.
In the nine homicides between
2007 and the present stemming
from drug deals, three of the 11
suspects had been previously
chargedwithdrug-relatedcrimes
in Luzerne County. Three of the
nine victims had also been previ-
ously charged with drug-related
crimes.
A lot of money can be made
dealing drugs, Lindenmuth
said. Dealers have a perception
that they have to protect them-
selves.
In drug deals, he said, the
buyer is armedas well as thedeal-
er.
When you have a situation like
the incident in Plymouth, Lin-
denmuth said, where someone
believes they are cheatedinsome
way, they believe they have to de-
fend themselves.
And they end up shooting
someone, Lindenmuth said.
Violence also occurs, Linden-
muth said, when the quality of a
specific drug isnt what a pur-
chaser thinks it should be.
For example, a dealer may
sometimes sell a good quality of
crack cocaine, but others may cut
down that quality by mixing in
baking soda so that they can
make more of a profit, he said.
They know they arent going
toget the same high. They get an-
gry. Then they argue. Someones
got a weapon and violence oc-
curs, he said.
Lucrative for some
The lure of making large quan-
tities of money, Lindenmuth
said, is what keeps people selling.
He said he worked on a case in
Philadelphia in which a 17-year-
old was arrested after a two-year
investigation.
That 17-year-old was making
$3.5 million a year selling crack
cocaine and had 15 people work-
ing for him.
How do you tell a young per-
sonthat (they) must give upa life
of crime to finish high school and
work full time at McDonalds for
minimum wage? Lindenmuth
said. They arent going to do it.
Its a means to an end.
A means to continue making
money to provide a living and to
continue to sell to those who are
addicted to the drug.
Its about supply and demand,
Lindenmuth said.
Dealers come fromlarger cities
to sell drugs in smaller areas, he
said. As time goes on, the num-
ber of individuals involved in
drug-related deaths goes up.
But why would they come
here?
The answer may be thanks to
Luzerne Countys social econom-
ic status, Lindenmuth said.
The cost of living here is
chump change to a drug dealer in
Philadelphia, he said.
Half brothers Shawn Hamil-
ton, 18, andSawudDavis, 16, who
were chargedinthe Plymouthtri-
ple homicide last week, were
both from Philadelphia, accord-
ing to court papers.
The two were staying at a Nan-
ticoke apartment rented by an-
other for a number of months be-
fore the July 7 shooting and had
no local record of lawful employ-
ment.
Cost-of-living issues
A home in Philadelphia, Lin-
denmuth said, costs several hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars. In
Luzerne County, hes said hes
seen homes sell for only a few
thousand dollars. (Dealers)
make that in several hours.
According to U.S. Census re-
cords from 2010, the median val-
ue of an owner-occupied housing
unit in Luzerne County is
$113,300. In Philadelphia, that
number jumps to $135,200; and
in New York City, to a staggering
$513,900.
The big city is finding its way
here, he said.
Lindenmuth said cheap hous-
ing and demand for drugs pro-
vides a fertile ground for drug
dealers.
You start selling drugs, youre
sort of the king of the walk, he
said. Theres a lot of people com-
ing into the area, and a lot of
those people are good.
Lindenmuth said the increase
in crime began in the Poconos,
and that it is now spreading into
the Wyoming Valley.
Race doesnt matter selling
drugs is a means to an end, Lin-
denmuth said, adding he is both-
ered when Section 8 housing is
blamed for crime.
People say minorities are re-
sponsible. No, theres white (peo-
ple) involved, too, he said.
Population changes
The Wyoming Valley has gen-
erally been a safer community
than the states bigger cities be-
cause of its population. For years,
the region had a large number of
residents 65 and older, according
to census records.
As of 2011, according to the
census, 20 percent of the popula-
tion is under 18 years of age,
while 17.9 percent are 65 and ol-
der.
Now, as a younger generation
take over and new residents
come into the community, kids
get bored, Lindenmuth said.
They have nothing to do.
(Youd likely find) the popularity
and accessibility of drugs in our
schools is high, he said.
Lindenmuth said the problems
have a lot to do with budgets and
finances being cut in communi-
ties that cannot afford the equip-
ment and training for officers.
Its a problemnationwide that
there doesnt seem to be a solu-
tion for, he said. There needs
tobe anaggressive effort (by the)
criminal justice system to take
care of those individuals that are
involved in the drug trade.
HIGHER
Police investigate a crime scene in a playground. A lot of money can be made dealing drugs, expert
Paul Lindenmuth said. Dealers have a perception that they have to protect themselves.
Homicides involvingheated
arguments or a robbery of money
have always beena problem.
InLuzerne County, 35deaths
ruledhomicides inthe last five
years were attributedtothose
problems.
The second-highest number, 18,
were due todomestic violence.
Domestic violence, saidPaul
Lindenmuth, a professor of crimi-
nal justice at Kings College, is a
problembecause of power and
control.
Domestic violence builds up
over time, Lindenmuthsaid. It
doesnt just happen. It boils over a
periodof time.
Accordingtothe FBI, a woman
inthe U.S. is batteredevery nine
seconds.
InLuzerne County, lawenforce-
ment responds todomestic vio-
lence incidents onthe average of
24times a day.
For 2009, Luzerne County was
rankedthirdinthe state behind
only the Philadelphia andPitts-
burghmetroareas inthe number
of domestic violence-relatedhom-
icides, accordingtothe local
domestic violence center.
The Domestic Violence Service
Center inWilkes-Barre character-
izes domestic violence as emo-
tional, physical or sexual, accord-
ingtotheir website.
Abuse may beginwitha light
pushor slap. It canbecome a
punchor kick. If abuse is not
stopped, it will get worse. Abuse
caninclude threats andcanbe a
gradual but consistent wearing
downof any goodfeelings.
Abuse canresult inthe deathof
the victim.
The center says abusers often
keeptheir victims away from
family andfriends, andlimit fi-
nancial resources toprevent them
fromrunningaway.
If not stopped, abuse will get
worse, the center says, andabus-
ers may threatentoharma victim,
their family, their childrenand
event pets.
Abuse canbe a gradual but
consistent wearingdownof any
goodfeelings youmight have
about yourself. Abuse caninclude
stalking, datingviolence, jealousy
or manipulation, the centers
website says.
Lindenmuthsaiddomestic
violence situations are the most
dangerous for lawenforcement
officers because they are thrown
intoa volatile situation.

(Luzerne County adult proba-
tion) chief, I interviewed the
Crips, the Bloods, Jamaicans and
Columbians, Kings College
criminal justice Professor James
Marinello said Friday. It always
fascinated me why they would
come here. A 2011 report titled,
Eastern Pennsylvania Drug and
Gang Threat Assessment, in-
cludes a map illustrating the
source of illicit drugs in urban ar-
eas of Eastern Pennsylvania.
Northeastern Pennsylvanias
source for heroin, cocaine and
marijuana is New York/New Jer-
sey via Interstates 80, 380 and 84,
while drug peddlers from Phila-
delphia use the Northeastern Ex-
tension of the Pennsylvania Turn-
pike, accordingtothe2011report.
A low cost of living and a high
demand for illicit drugs makes it
an easy attraction for traffickers
and gang members, Marinello
said.
Its a market and its a good
market, Marinello said.
Street gangs have capitalized
on that.
The state Office of Attorney
General and Wilkes-Barre police
inOctober 2008bustedtwostreet
gangs the Long Island Boys and
the Jersey City Boys, which oper-
ated out of the Sherman Hills
apartment complex in Wilkes-
Barre and in the South Wilkes-
Barre neighborhood, respective-
ly.
The Long Island gang sold
3,000 to 5,000 heroin packets a
weekwithanestimatedstreet val-
ue of $60,000 to $100,000 a week
for nearly two years, according to
the AGoffice.
Members of the Long Island
Gangwere linkedtothe torture of
a 15-year-old boy in an apartment
on Coal Street, arrest and court
records say.
After the two gangs were dis-
mantled with arrests, the Sex,
Money, Murder faction of the
Bloods moved in the area, selling
2,500 to 5,000 heroin packets a
week, earning at least $15 million
beforethat gangwasbustedinOc-
tober 2010.
The ring leader of Sex, Money,
Murder, identified as Albert
Smirk Rosembert, 28, of Ne-
wark, N.J., was sentenced in Lu-
zerne County Court in April to
seven to14 years in state prison.

S
ome recent queries on the Lu-
zerne County Genweb have given
new proof to the old adage that
theres more than one way to skin a
cat.
Translated, that means if youre a
genealogist whos finding that the
usual ways of tracing ancestors arent
working, dont give up. Read, study,
ask questions and find another way.
Lets say that youre trying to track
down an ancestor who lived in Luzerne
County many generations ago. Youve
got that much from an old U.S. census
or family lore. But, try as you might,
you cant find parentage, immigration
data, marriage records or anything else
you need to flesh out your search.
Its time for History 101. Hitting the
books, youll find that present-day
Luzerne County is just a small part of
what used to be an enormous county
covering most of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania. That could mean your ances-
tor lived in what is now an entirely
different county, and maybe thats
where you should look for information.
Heres a brief guide. Luzerne County
was created out of Northumberland
County in 1786. In 1810 two more coun-
ties Susquehanna and Bradford
were created out of Luzerne, greatly
reducing its acreage. Then, in 1878,
Lackawanna County was created out of
Luzerne.
So if your long-ago ancestor farmed
land near Towanda (Bradford County),
attended church in Montrose (Susque-
hanna County) or operated a business
in Carbondale (Lackawanna County),
this Luzerne County ancestor might
best be researched elsewhere. Official
governmental records, of course, prob-
ably are in Luzerne County. But other
records burial, historical, biograph-
ical and the like probably arent.
Here are websites that will get you
into these counties. Search them and
you will find references to historical
societies and libraries, as well as in-
formation on county history and avail-
ability of official records. Try
www.susqco.com, www.bradfordcoun-
typa.org and www.lackawannacoun-
ty.org. Luzerne Countys site is
www.luzernecounty.org. Those sites, of
course, will tell you exactly where you
should be looking.
If you live far away, inquire about
research services. Today, many histor-
ical societies and libraries are thor-
oughly devoted to genealogy. You can
also post queries on the appropriate
county Genweb message board, again
not limiting yourself to present-day
Luzerne County.
Records Update: No decision is yet in
sight on the question of how Luzerne
County is going to deal with its two
centuries of paper records now stored
in a building that has been criticized
for its inadequacies. County Manager
Robert Lawton, who has been on the
job only a few months, recently reit-
erated his policy of exploring all op-
tions before committing the county to
a course of action. A holdup is that
much of the money (about $860,000)
the county had built up in its records
fund, has been spent, and how that
happened has become part of a wide-
ranging investigation. The county
Records Improvement Committee is
now under new leadership and is meet-
ing regularly.
Meanwhile, Lackawanna County has
been putting its records online, free
and easily accessible by the public.
Some other Pennsylvania counties have
built user-friendly records centers that
are open to the public.
News Notes: Mining once North-
eastern Pennsylvanias dominant indus-
try - is on the agenda for the next meet-
ing of the Genealogical Research Socie-
ty of Northeastern Pennsylvania. The
Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for
Abandoned Mine Reclamation will
offer Mine Pool and Borehole Mon-
itoring for Lackawanna Valley. The
society meets at 7 p.m. Wednesday at
1100 Main St., Peckville. Go to

ody Kyttle is the manager at
CKs Summer Treats in Dal-
las. Kyttle, 26, is engaged to
his fiance, Gina, and has a son,
E.J. Cody attended Lake-Lehman
High School and lives in Sweet
Valley.
CKs is known in Dallas for its Mexican
cuisine and a variety of ice cream treats.
How did the establishment come into
existence and how were you involved? In
January of 2009 I was working at a motorcy-
cle shop that was about to close. My parents,
Lonnie and Eli, wanted to start an ice cream
place with food in the offering, too. So in
July of 2009 we opened CKs. The ice cream
was popular, but the Mexican food that we
offered really took off. We ended up being a
year-round restaurant serving ice cream
from May to October and regular food all
year long.
Whats on the menu? We have tacos,
burritos, enchiladas, chicken, fish, shrimp,
pork and ground beef. We also offer cheese-
steak hoagies, hot dogs, fries and a large
variety of ice cream treats.
What were some of the jobs you did
growing up? I worked at the Back Mountain
Tomato Farm when I was a sophomore in
high school. I was also employed as a truck
washer at Pikes Creek Sand and Gravel
when I was a senior.
Has CKs been involved in any charitable
events? We were actually involved with the
Dallas Harvest Festival one year and raised
money that was donated to the Misericordia
Women With Children Program. The program
is geared towards academically qualified
single mothers of all ages. It provides them
the opportunity to attend classes while living
on the campus with their children.
Your family and CKs served as an in-
spiration when it comes to charity. Who
was someone in your life you looked up to
and admired who helped you grow into the
person you are today? My father really
helped me because of his work ethic and the
way he carried himself through the years. I
learned a great deal from him.
When you are not working what do you
like to do? I really enjoy mountain biking
and hanging out with my family.
Where have you been or where would
you like to go? I went to the Daytona 500
twice and that was a blast. Someday I would
love to travel to Yellowstone National Park.
What are some of your favorite places in
Northeastern Pennsylvania? I enjoy my
own backyard, actually.
How about restaurants other than the
one you run. Do you have any favorites? I
like to get breakfast at the Red Rooster in
Pikes Creek. I also enjoy meals at Connors

OS ANGELES - Not a single public

in the mid-1970s, but it turns out that
stories about Norwegian bachelor

power.

where else on radio. On a good
night on our show, opera can
meet jazz can meet bluegrass can
meet comedy can meet stories. I
just think its a natural for radio.
Afewmoments later he acknowl-
edged he has been thinking that
for the good of public radio I
ought to get this ship prepared to
sail on with someone else at the
helm.
The fate of public radios most
venerable personalities became a
hot topic in recent weeks, with
the announcement that original
episodes of Car Talk would end
this fall. Most NPR member sta-
tions are expectedtoleave reruns
of car repair yucksters Tom and
Ray Magliozzi in their prime Sat-
urday-morning slot.
But Ira Glass, the popular host
of This American Life, created
a stir when he suggested that the
car repair comedy show should
be relegated to off-hours - open-
ing the coveted weekend morn-
ingsothat newer acts wouldhave
a chance to shine. Although he
praised the Magliozzis and Keil-
lor for their groundbreakingvoic-
es and formats, Glass said older
shows (including his own 16-
year-old program) should go off
theair rather thanintoreruns. He
called for new shows, new tal-
ent, new ideas.
Among the programs on the
horizon as possible next-genera-
tion breakouts for public radio
are comedian Marc Marons in-
terview and commentary show,
the NPR quiz show Ask Me An-
other, the crowd-generated sto-
rytelling show The Moth Radio
Hour and actor Alec Baldwins
interview program originating at
New Yorks WNYC.
We are afflictedinpublic radio
with keeping the audience we
have and not so concerned with
getting the audience we dont
have, said Jennifer Ferro, gener-
al manager of KCRW-FMinSanta
Monica, Calif., which doesnt car-
ryKeillors show. I dont criticize
anyone for that. Its a tough chal-
lenge. But growth generally
comes from change.
In an interview peppered with
wit and leavened with melanch-
oly, Keillor did not disagree with
those callingfor newfaces inpub-
lic radio, though he also argued
that old franchises like Prairie
Home deserve a chance to inno-
vate and thrive. He said he hoped
Glass show, Car Talk and his
own folksy program would go on
and on. Car Talk is a small slice
of the week, Keillor added. Peo-
ple love those voices, that Boston
honk, and the way they laugh, its
so un-public radio.
A Prairie Home Companion
can be heard on more than 600
public radio stations, usually on
Saturday evenings. It draws a
weekly audience of roughly 3.5
million people. The live show
still packs huge venues such as
the Hollywood Bowl and Tangle-
wood in Massachusetts.
Keillor had talked last year
about retiring in 2013, then
backed away from that plan. He
now says he wants to find a re-
placement to keep the show go-
ing but has no timetable for a
transition. I see a lot of people
who could do this, he said. The
problem is persuading managers
of public radio stations (to accept
a new host). And like managers
everywhere, they tend to be very
conservative. That is our con-
flict.
Inside Prairie Homes tight-
knit family there has even been
discussion of a rotating cast of
guest hosts, a la Saturday Night
Live. But for now Keillor, who
turns 70 in August, remains firm-
ly at the helm. Plans for the 33-
program, 2012-13 season are be-
ing laid and the host looks for-
ward to a 40th-anniversary show
in 2014. He envisions a big folk
festival in his native St. Paul,
Minn., theshows enduringhome
base.
The programs trademark
eclecticism will be on display at
the Bowl, with opera soprano El-
lie Dehn on the schedule, along
withgospel sisters JearlynandJe-
vetta Steele and actor Martin
Sheen, who previously sang on
the showandwill appear ina cou-
ple of sketches this time.
He is someone who is really
noble, anidealist andanactivist,
Keillor said of the actor, so I like
to write small-minded, cheesy
parts for him to play. He does
amazingly well with small-time
swindlers and crooks and with ir-
ritating, pushy people.
Keillor has a way of gently
bending the conversation that
way - from earnest to subversive.
Noting that some of his friends
who lived on the Westside of L.A.
have moved on, he added, I have
to make newfriends, whichis not
easy for someone who grew up
fundamentalist. Im earnest, si-
lent, disheveled, on the very
verge of turning 70 and not that
good at friend-making.
Asked why big-city audiences
so appreciate his stories of ob-
scure small-town rites, Keillor
said his humor has little to do
with location. These are stories
about everyday life, about raising
children and getting along with
people you know too well, he
said. A small town is the perfect
literary device for exposing the
lives of people and peeling away
their thin veneer of self-regard
and pretension.... Can we still
like each other knowing the
worst about each other?
His age and occasional health
scares - hesufferedaminor stroke
in 2009 - have not slaked Keillors
ambition. He has written a rau-
cous musical comedy for Broad-
way (I dont like serious musi-
cals, and there have been a spate
of them.) and is talking to pos-
sible collaborators. He has al-
most finished a screenplay, The
Lives of the Cowboys. He adds,
There is no market, whatsoever,
for a screenplay about cowboys.
A couple of anthologies of his
writingare inthe making, which
is what a person does when one
turns 70.
Hell be sailing on the Queen
Mary to Europe when the birth-
day hits next month. (Once there
he will host a Prairie Home
Companion cruise for 1,200 of
myclosest friends, whowill tour
Spain and Portugal.) He said he
welcomes the milestone. To be
in your late 60s is to live in trepi-
dation, he said. It will be a relief
to get over the line.
Not that the veteran performer
isnt conscious of other people
watchinghimfor signs of decline.
During a recent show at Tangle-
wood, he was inthe midst of a tra-
ditional walkabout through the
audience when he wavered
slightly on the uneven ground. I
didnt fall or even exactly stum-
ble, Keillor said. It was just a lit-
tle hitch, and I had to grab the
railing. You could hear the whole
audience inhale. Its Oh, dear,
this old galoot is about to take a
tumble.
He said he has no intention of
pressing on past his due date. I
dont ever, ever want to be in
front of an audience and feel
them pitying me, he said. That
is the worst.

t shouldnt be this difficult for Penn
State to decide what to do with the
Joe Paterno statue still sitting
outside Beaver Stadium.
Put it in the darkest room of the
Lasch Building.
Then lock it away for good.
That would be the perfect place to
remember a man whose historic coach-
ing career was so revered, yet is now
reviled by many.
Only because protecting the reputa-
tion of his proud football program
apparently meant more to Paterno
than protecting young boys from a
sexual predator in his midst.
It says so in the Freeh report.
Thats the Penn State-sanctioned
investigation by former FBI Director
Louis Freeh that determined the
schools most powerful leaders, in-
cluding Paterno, buried sexual abuse
allegations against former defensive
coordinator Jerry Sandusky, perhaps to
avoid bad publicity for the school and
its football team.
That cover-up enabled Sandusky to
continue preying on young boys from
his Second Mile charity for more than
a decade. He was recently convicted of
charges against him and is facing life in
prison.
Paternos life ended in January, when
he passed away following a battle with
lung cancer and after being fired dur-
ing the 2011 season from a head coach-
ing job he held at Penn State for 46
years.
And life at Penn State changed for
the football players, coaching staff,
students and administrators with the
blight of the Sandusky scandal.
Yet some who still patronize Pa-
ternos legacy want his statue standing
outside Beaver Stadium until the end
of time.
Others want it destroyed, now paint-
ing a portrait of Paterno as a pathetic
figure following the findings in the
Freeh report.
Really, the statue should find a prop-
er resting place in the Lasch Building.
Its the football facility where Penn
States players have practiced for years,
and where Paterno did much of the
work during the week that made him
the winningest head coach in major
college football history.
His supporters can pay tribute to
Paternos legacy there.
And they can also remember how
their once-great football leader lost his
way.
Because the Lasch Building is also
where some of the most horrific
crimes Sandusky committed took
place.
It is where former Penn State assist-
ant coach Mike McQueary reported
seeing Sandusky sexually abusing a
child in the showers in 2001, which led
to Sanduskys arrest and a grand jury
investigation that ended last year.
It also led to Paternos downfall.
McQueary testified he told Paterno
about witnessing Sanduskys attack,
and Paterno fumbled away the oppor-
tunity to be the real leader everyone at
Penn State always believed him to be.
It turns out Paterno may have per-
suaded university officials not to call
the cops on Sandusky and his deviant
behavior a couple years before the 2001
incident, according to the Freeh report.
If he were alive today, Paterno may
be facing charges for perjury, conspir-
acy and child endangerment.
All because the super-secretive coach
always insisted on serving as lawyer,
judge and jury for any matter regarding
his football program, shielding it from
the eyes of the outside world.
So put his statue in a dark room at
the Lasch Building, to represent the
dark secrets he carried with him to the
grave.
Maybe there, the memory of an
iconic football coach being allowed too
much power will finally be buried.

STATE COLLEGE Theyve had to
reconcile the school whose sports pro-
grams vow success with honor with
oneof theworst scandals insports histo-
ry.
Almost inconceivably, they have been
forced to reconsider the integrity and
iconic status of the late Joe Paterno, the
longtime football coach whose program
helped turn a school focused on agricul-
ture into one of the nations biggest and
most respected research universities.
In the wake of the Jerry Sandusky
child sex-abuse scandal and a report
that saidschool officials hidaccusations
against him the school is bracing for
civil lawsuits and perhaps NCAA sanc-
tions. Meanwhile, Penn Staters are try-
ing to protect Happy Valley, the almost-
too-good-to-be-true nickname for the
campus enclave at the foot of Mount
Nittany and the protective veil the com-
munity feels in its central Pennsylvania
home.
I think its one of the finest universi-
ties around and the crimes of a few
doesnt dictate the universitys reputa-
tion, said Craig Lehnowsky, whose son
just finished getting three degrees in
eight years. If today was the day to de-
cide where my son would go (to col-
lege), hed be coming here.

RICE TWP. A great number of
pitchers have been throwing complete
games during the Wyoming Valley
American Legion League season.
The Greater Pittston coaching staff
decided to make opposing pitchers
work for the accomplishment telling
their players to take pitches and not
swing at the first one delivered.
Everyone on the team stuck to that
philosophy on Saturday, except for Bart
Chupka.
But Chupkas think-
ing also paid off for GP
as he laced a three-run
double inthe bottomof
the fifth when he clob-
bered a first-pitch fast-
ball down the left field
line from Tunkhan-
nock pitcher Alex Zaner to catapult
Greater Pittston to a 6-0 win in the win-

DALLAS South Wilkes-Barre won
the District 16 title via some big hits.
It took a small one Saturday to get the
offense going in the first round of the
Section 5 Little League Major baseball
tournament.
Kyle Ostrowski beat out a chopper to
third to start the fifth inning and a rally
as South Wilkes-Barre opened with a 5-1
victory over Old Forge at the Back
Mountain Little
League.

in Saturdays nightcap.
South Wilkes-Barre, which scored in
double digits several times in the D16
tournament, had a lone hit going into
the fifth a double by SimonPeter inthe
fourth.
But after Ostrowski theNo. 9hitter
leggedout his single, OldForge replaced
startingpitcher MasonBoettger. Boettg-
er had six strikeouts to that point as Old
Forge clung to a 1-0 lead.
Reliever Shane Smith did fare well af-
ter getting the first out of the fifth. Josh
Montalvo followed with an infield sin-
gle, and he and Ostrowski scored when
Jake Tomolonis doubled down the left-
field line. Paul Fox then singled to left,
giving South Wilkes-Barre a 3-1 advan-
tage.

S. WILKES-
BARRE

OLD FORGE
Danko leads George Bowland, of
Mill Spring, N.C., by a 2.64-second
margin. Competition continues
today on the East Northampton
Street course in Laurel Run.
We had limited runs, Danko
said. We did the best we can with
the mechanical problems. We had a
lot of things fighting us.
The Indy car experienced me-
chanical issues. It had problems
with the throttle position sensor
and the right side of the car began
scraping several places throughout
the day.
The car is just a handful at that
point, Danko said. I have to go a
lot slower through the turns than I
want to.
Danko did not return to the
bottom of the 1-mile hill following
the fifth run of the day. Unlike
previous years, he and his team
drove straight to his Laurel Run
garage to make alterations on the
Indy.
Were trying to correct some of
those problems overnight, Danko
said. Were trying to raise it up a
little bit so we dont scrape bottom
so bad.
Bowland, Dankos top competi-
tion, had to make an early exit
from the race due to mechanical
issues with his custom-built 2002
BBR car. Bowland ended Dankos
five-year championship streak in
2010 and did not compete in last
years Hillclimb.
I dont know if he could catch
this car when its running, Danko
said. I would have loved to see
him to try to catch up to a 40 (sec-
ond time). When this is running
right, his car doesnt have the
horsepower that we have. Hes a
great driver, and hed give it every-
thing hes got. Unfortunately, it just
wasnt going his way today.

Jack Danko makes his way out of the starting area onto the Giants Despair Hillclimb. The Danko family re-
mains heavily ingrained in the event as Jacks brother Darryl goes for a course record today.
By JAY MONAHAN
For The Times Leader
LAUREL RUN Darryl Danko cant catch a
break with the 1998 Lola Indy.
Save for a test run in last years race, the six-
time winner hasnt competed in his prized vehicle
at the Giants Despair in three years.
With a course record on the line, his Lola Indy
met mechanical malfunctions that slowed it to a
40.1-second time in the first day of competition at
the Giants Despair Hillclimb on Saturday.

MI NOR L EAGUES
Trenton, the Double-A affil-
iate of the Yankees, was well-
represented in the Eastern
League All-Star Game last week
at Readings FirstEnergy Stadi-
um with four players getting a
shot to showcase their skills.
And the foursome did not
disappoint their fans.
Starting pitcher Brett Mar-
shall got the starting nod for the
Eastern Team and pitched two
innings allowing one run on
three hits and a walk.
Third baseman Kevin Maho-
ney was a bigger factor in the
Easts 5-4 win over the West as
he was on base when the win-
ning run scored. But more im-
portantly, with two outs in the
bottom of the ninth of a game
that could have ended in a tie,
Mahoney singled to keep the
game alive and finished 1-for-3.
Thunder outfielder Melky
Mesa went hitless in four at-bats
during the contest, while Tren-
ton reliever Kelvin Perez tossed
a scoreless eighth inning with
one strikeout to help the East
dramatic victory.
Here are the New York Yan-
kees top-10 prospects according
to MLB.com.
1. Manny Banuelos, LHP,
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Triple-
A): The left-hander, currently on
the disabled list, is 0-2 with a
4.50 ERA in six starts for Yan-
kees with 22 Ks in 24 innings.
According to ESPN New York,
Yankees general manager Brian
Cashman said he will pitch
again this year.
2. Dellin Betances, RHP,
Trenton (Double-A): The 6-
foot-8, 260-pounder, who was
demoted from Triple-A a few
weeks ago, pitched the first
game after the All-Star break for
Trenton and picked up his first
Double-A win since last year. In
the outing, he fanned six and
walked just one in 6
2
3 innings.
This season for Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre he totaled 69
walks in 74 2/3 innings along
with a 6.39 ERA.
3. Gary Sanchez, catcher,
Tampa (High-A): The 19-year-
old was promoted from Char-
leston after hitting .297 with 13
home runs, 56 RBI and 11 stolen
bases two weeks ago and ap-
pears to be picking up where he
left off. In seven games with the
T-Yanks, hes 6-for-25 with to
homers and a stolen base.
4. Mason Williams, outfielder,
Tampa (High-A): Just like his
teammate Sanchez, he was
promoted to Tampa two weeks
ago, but it struggling early on in
10 games. So far, he is 7-for-40
with a home run and two RBI.
5. Jose Campos, RHP, Char-
leston (A): A19-year-old ac-
quired from Seattle is currently
on the DL with elbow inflamma-
tion and is currently 3-0 with a
4.01 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 24
2
3 innings. According to ESPN
New York, Yankees general
manager Brian Cashman said he
will pitch again this year.
6. Slade Heathcott, outfielder,
Tampa (A): He got a late start
because of injury and has played
just 19 games for the T-Yanks
hitting .206 with two homers, 8
RBI and six stolen bases.
7. Austin Romine, catcher,
TBA: The 23-year-old has begun
a rehab assignment with the
Gulf Coast Yankees and may
join a club by next week.
8. Dante Bichette Jr., third
base, Charleston (A): Bichette
was New Yorks first pick in 2011
(51st overall) and is batting .249
on the season with two home
runs and 32 RBI.
9. Cito Culver, shortstop,
Charleston (A): The 19-year-old
switch-hitter continues to get on
base at a solid clip for the River-
Dogs despite a .206 batting
average. On the season, he has a
.314 on base percentage.
10. Adam Warren, RHP,
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Triple-
A): He pitched the first game for
the Yankees after the break and

Four shine for
Eastern League
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
The All-Star break wasnt only
in the Major Leagues last week.
The minor leagues were also
the recipient of much-needed
time off as the International
League and Eastern League
took a break for a few days.
The Reading Phillies hosted
the Eastern League classic with
six R-Phils representing the
organization.
Readings Troy Hanzawa gave
the home crowd something to
cheer about by drawing a two-
out walk in the bottom of the
ninth inning to keep the game
alive. He then scored the game-
winning run as the East Team
knocked off the West 5-4. If not
for the run scored, the game
would have ended in a tie.
Cesar Hernandez (1-for-2, run
scored), Darin Ruf (1-for-1, run),
Leandro Castro (1-for-4) and
Sebastian Valle (0-for-1) also
saw time. Jordan Whatcott got
two outs, including a strikeout
in the top of the ninth to repre-
sent Reading.
In the Triple-A All-Star Game,
Lehigh Valleys Tyler Cloyd got
the nod and was hit with the
loss allowing two runs on three
hits in one inning and IronPigs
shortstop Kevin Frandsen was
0-for-2.
Here are Philadelphias top 10
prospects according to
MLB.com and how they are
faring in 2012.
1. Trevor May, RHP, Reading
(Double-A): Hes starting to
show some command issues
having walked 15 and struck out
just nine over his last three
outings spanning 15 innings. For
the season, he is 7-7 with a 4.85
ERA, 95 strikeouts and 48 walks
in 94
2
3 innings.
2. Jesse Biddle, LHP, Clear-
water (A-Advanced): He took
his first loss in more than a
month last week giving up three
runs in 4
1
3 innings. For the
season, hes 5-4 for the season
with an ERA of 3.38. He has
also punched out 90 hitters in
88 innings.
3. Brody Colvin, RHP, Clear-
water (A-Advanced): In his last
four starts after a stint in the

5-4 record to go with 79 strike-
outs in 88
2
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, hes still homerless, but
hes hitting .359 (14-for-39) over
his last 10 games to raise his
average for the season up to
.291. He is also getting on base
with a .404 on base percentage.
5. Phillippe Aumont, RHP,
Lehigh Valley (Triple-A): The
6-foot-7, 260-pound reliever
earned save No. 11 of the season
last week after a scoreless streak

IronPigs, hes 2-1 with a 4.18
ERA fanning 37 in 28 innings.
6. Sebastian Valle, catcher,
Reading (Double-A): The 21-
year-old is mired in a little
slump hitting just .207 (6-for-29)
in his last 10 games. His average
has dropped to .247 for the
season. He also has 10 home
runs and 34 RBI.
7. Justin De Fratus, RHP,

THI S WEEK S SWB YANKEES SCHEDUL E
Russ Canzler,
Hazleton Area, Colum-
bus (Cleveland, Triple-
A): The Hazleton native
participated in the
Triple-A All-Star Game
for the second straight
year and went hitless in
one at-bat. But hes
back on track after a
slow start as his aver-
age is at .270 after a
slow start to go with 12
home runs and 50 RBI.
He also has 22 dou-
bles, two triples and a
.333 on base percentage
for the Clippers.
Canzler was original-
ly 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
pitched as scoreless
inning for the West in
last weeks Eastern
League All-Star Game.
For the season, he has
a putting up a 3.77 ERA
in 28 games while strik-
ing out 41 in 45
1
3 innings
and posting a 4-3 record
with two saves.
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 Spangen-
berg, Abington
Heights, Lake Elsinore
(San Diego, Class A
advanced): The 10th
overall pick in 2011 by
the Padres hasnt
played since June 28
nursing a head injury.
For the season, hes

stolen bases in 27
attempts, to go along
with six triples, 11 dou-
bles and 40 runs in 67
games.
Ray Black, Cough-
lin, San Francisco
(extended spring train-
ing): A power pitcher,
Black is nursing a
shoulder injury which
arose at the end of
spring training and hes
been sidelined since. He
is still rehabbing in
Scottsdale, Ariz.
The seventh-round
draft pick (237th over-
all) out of the University
of Pittsburgh last June
is hoping to join the
short season Salem-
Keizer Volcanoes in
Oregon or the Low Class
A team in Augusta or
possibly join the Arizo-
na Rookie League
Giants.
Rich Thompson,
Montrose, Durham
(Tampa Bay, Triple-A): A
33-year-old speedy
outfielder, is batting
.292 with eight RBI and
nine stolen bases in 25
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 right-
handed reliever is
starting to get save
chances after a promo-
tion from Low-A ball.
Taken by the Reds in
the fourth round (145th
overall) of last years
draft, he also continued
a scoreless stretch
pitching 8
1
3 scoreless
innings allowing just
four hits in the 10-game
stretch while earning
four saves.
For the season for
Bakersfield, he has
given up nine earned
runs in 22
1
3 innings,
but his ERA dropped by
more than three runs to
3.63 after the impres-
sive stretch. He is 1-1
with 21 strikeouts
against 12 walks.
D I S T R I C T 2 S P R E S E N C E I N P R O F E S S I O N A L B A S E B A L L
Cody Ransom has bounced
around with nine different orga-
nizations in the last 12 years.
He has always had power po-
tential, but has had trouble
sticking with one organization
since being drafter by the San
Francisco Giants in 1998.
That includes stints with the
Yankees organization in New
York and Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre, and with the Phillies in
Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley.
Ransom, now 36 years old,
was a big contributor to Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barres Governors
Cup championship run in 2008
and in 2009 when the SWB Yan-
kees were runner-up in the In-
ternational League. In his two
years with Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre, he combined to hit 25
home runs, drive in 87 runs and
posted a batting average of .252.
He played in New York in
2008 and 2009 combining to
play in 64 games for the Bronx
Bombers. But he only combined
to hit four home runs and drive
in 18 runs over the span. The
next year, 2010, he played in 22
games for the Phillies and only
hit .190 with a pair of longballs
and five RBI.
The journeyman infielder
seems to have found a spot with
the Milwaukee Brewers.
He walloped his first career
grand slam Friday night to help
the Brewers beat the Pirates
10-7. In a career season, hes al-
ready hit more home runs this
year for Milwaukee (8) then he
did in parts of three seasons
with Philadelphia and New
York.
The funny thing about Fri-
days grand slam is that he did
expect Pittsburgh to intention-
ally walk Rickie Weeks to load
the bases to with two outs in the
bottom of the eighth inning to
get to Ransom. But he did not
expect left-handed pitcher Tony
Watson to remain on the mound
to face the right-handed hitting
Ransom.
I was surprised they left the
lefty in, said Ransom. There
was a righty in the bullpen and I
figured theyd probably bring
him in. Am I surprised about
(the intentional walk)? No, I
hadnt done anything today.
We intentionally walked the
guy in front of him to load the
bases. We wanted to go right at
him, goaheadinthe count. With
two outs, I was hoping to put
somethinginplay andlet the de-
fense work, Watson said.
Ransom, however, hit a 2-2
pitch over the wall in left-center
for his eighth homer of the sea-
son.
After the game, members of
the media waited to interview
Ransom outside his locker
while he had to take a drug test.
Thats a Major League Base-
ball thing, he said. They tell
you when they tell you.
CLIPPING THE
COMPETITION
Ransom isnt the only former
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankee
paying dividends for a National
League team.
Tyler Clippard pitched for
SWBin its inaugural season as a
Yankees affiliate in 2007. That
year, the Yankees got the play-
offs and lost in the semifinal
round. Clippard, who was a
starter back then, got 14 starts
for the Yankees posting a 4-4 re-
cord with a 4.15 ERA.
He was shortly traded to the
Washington Nationals, where
he was converted to a reliever
and now, the teams closer. The
former Yankee prospect, who
was once ranked by Baseball
America as one of the top10 pro-
spects in the Yankees organiza-
tion, has turned into one of the
best closers in all of baseball
converting 14 saves in 15 chanc-
es this season for the Nats and
only allowing eight earned runs
and 20 hits in 39 games posting
a1.88 ERA. He recently had a19
2
3 scoreless innings streak
snapped as a run crossed the
plate against him for the first
since in nearly two months.
Even though he got the clos-
ers job due to injuries in Wash-
ingtons bullpen, hes expected
to remain the ninth-inning man
when others are healthy.

Milwaukees Cody Ransom hit his first career grand slam on Friday, giving the Brewers the lead in a game against Pittsburgh at
Miller Park. A career journeyman at age 36, Ransom now has eight home runs since joining Milwaukee.

LAKE ORION, Mich. Bernhard
Langer has surged into the lead at the
U.S. Senior Open.
Langer shot a 6-under 64 on Sat-
urday to move to 10 under for the tour-
nament, putting him ahead by four
strokes.
The two-time Masters champion
opened with three straight birdies and
eight in 12 holes. The 54-year-old Lan-
ger had a double bogey at 13 and a
bogey at 18 to give the field a glimmer
of hope on Sunday.
Tom Lehman and Corey Pavin were
in a five-way tie for second at 6-under
204.
Fred Couples moved up the lead-
erboard with a 65. He was part of a
pack, along with Fred Funk and Jay
Haas, that was five shots back at the
Champion Tours fourth of five majors.
SCOTTISH OPEN
INVERNESS, Scotland Francesco
Molinari held off a barrage of chal-
lengers at the Scottish Open, shooting
a 5-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead
into the final round.
The Italian, who held the overnight
lead with Alexander Noren, remained
consistent in changing weather around
the Castle Stuart links to stay in front
at 17 under.
After a third straight low-scoring day,
Anders Hansen is Molinaris closest
challenger after a 65. Hansen upstaged
his top-ranked playing partner Luke
Donald (68), while Phil Mickelson also
carded a 65 and three shots back in a
tie with three others.
Noren was among that quartet at 14
under. The Swede, who finished with a
70, kept pace with Molinari until a
triple-bogey 8 on No. 12 after losing his
ball in bushes off the tee.
JOHN DEERE CLASSIC
SILVIS, Ill. Troy Matteson shot a
5-under 66 to take a three-shot lead
into the final round at the John Deere
Classic.
Steve Stricker, who also shot a 66,
sits in second place at 15 under in his
quest for a fourth straight tournament
title. Stricker birdied four straight
holes beginning at the 14th, but bo-
geyed the par-4 18th, stubbing a chip
shot and missing a 15-footer for par.
Both Matteson and Stricker bogeyed
the last hole, setting up their final-
round pairing together at TPC Deere
Run, where Stricker, a Wisconsin na-
tive who was an all-American at Illi-
nois, has become a local favorite by
winning the last three years.
Former Masters champion Zach
Johnson also carded a 66 to climb into
contention at 14 under, along with
left-hander Brian Harman.
US AMATEUR PUBLINKS
MIDWAY, Utah T.J. Vogel made
six birdies over a seven-hole stretch,
coasting to a 12-and-10 win over Kevin
Aylwin at the U.S. Amateur Public
Links Championship. With the victory,
the University of Florida senior earned
a spot in the 2013 Masters.

putt on the 15th hole during the third
round at the U.S. Senior Open at Indi-
anwood Golf and Country Club in Lake
Orion, Mich., Saturday.
Hey, mascots are allowed to be
rusty during the offseason, too.
Of course, they dont have games
that count in two weeks.
And while France, the Amer-
icans opening opponent in Lon-
don, was playing an exhibition
game against fellow medal conten-
der and reigning Olympic silver
medalist Spain on Saturday, the
Americans were taking part in
what felt like a pep rally, a workout
environment loaded with distrac-
tions that called to mind Rockys
training camp before his first fight
against Clubber Lang in Rocky
III.
Yet because of the people watch-
ing, and Krzyzewskis military
background, the day was worth it
for the Americans.
Coach K talked about this being
such a great day for USA Basket-
ball, but for America, and under-
stood the significance of it, said
ESPN analyst Jay Bilas, who played
for Krzyzewski at Duke and served
as the emcee of the practice.
To be able to come here and say
thank you for our men and women
in uniform, they were here today
but theyve always been there,
theyve always been there for us. I
think he understands it on a level
that many of us cant because of
WASHINGTON Dancers were
performing during breaks in the
action. Dunks were greeted with
MVP! chants.
Mascots, merchandise give-
aways, and hot dog stands had the
feel of an NBA arena, not the U.S.
Olympic mens teams workout.
Of course this was no game. As
Allen Iverson would say: We talkin
about practice.
The U.S. Olympic basketball
team went through a most unusual
workout Saturday, an open practice
for military personnel and families
at the D.C. Armory that felt more
like Midnight Madness on a college
campus than a team getting ready
to defend a gold medal.
We understand its kind of
actually every day with USA Bas-
ketball is a little bit different,
coach Mike Krzyzewski said. Not
bad, but certainly different. But
today was different in a very spec-
tacular way. All of our guys were
proud to be here.
The best dunks were not by
LeBron James or his U.S. team-
mates, but by G-Man, the Washing-
ton Wizards mascot who struggled
a bit early before getting better as
his routine went along.
the time he spent in and around
the military, and how much not
only knows it but feels it.
Krzyzewski played and coached
at the U.S. Military Academy and
attained the rank of captain before
resigning from the Army in 1974.
He has had a career-long dedi-
cation to USA Basketball, being
involved with 12 teams as a head or
assistant coach.
Bilas said when Krzyzewski and
Jerry Colangelo began putting
together the national team pro-
gram in 2005, they sought to em-
ulate the military in some ways.
Service people were involved
throughout the day, from a shoot-
ing contest in which a representa-
tive from each branch teamed with
a U.S. player, to a moving moment
at the end of practice in which
soldiers gave the American flag
patch from their sleeve to a U.S.
player to carry to London.
Just being here in front of these
guys, the troops and the military,
you cant put into words how that
made us feel, forward Carmelo
Anthony said. I never heard no-
body cheer in practice before,
Anthony said. Coach K usually
dont let nobody talk in practice,
but I dont know how he was going
to control to this crowd today.

Some Olympic fun
By BRIAN MAHONEY
AP Basketball Writer
LOUDON, N.H. Ryan Truex
remembers when the workers on his
older brothers car would stuff him in a
box used to hold dirty rags and tape
up the hole on top.
Terrifying stuff at the time but an
amusing memory now that hes racing
himself.
I was little, but still, I was scared,
Truex said Saturday. I didnt like it.
At least his tormentors left holes in
the box to help him breathe.
The 20-year-old Truex competed in
the Nationwide race at New Hamp-
shire Motor Speedway on Saturday
and finished 10th. On Sunday, Martin
Truex Jr. starts from the fourth posi-
tion in the Sprint Cup race. And now
the 32-year-old driver in eighth place
in the Sprint Cup standings is very
proud of the sibling who suffered at
his staffs hands.
Hes staying in my garage because
hes broke, trying to make a living in
racing. Thats what you do. You put
your life on hold and you go race cars,
Martin said. I admire his passion for
the sport, his passion for what hes
doing. He eats, breathes, sleeps rac-
ing.
The brothers, plus their father, are
quite fond of the one-mile oval at New
Hampshire. All three have won races
here.
Martin Truex Sr. won in the K&N
Pro Series East in 1994. Martin Truex
Jr. posted wins in that series in 2000
and 2003, then won the Nationwide
event in 2005. Ryan won twice in the
K&N Pro Series East in 2010.
Its always exciting for me to come
up here, Martin Truex Jr. said. This
is the only track that all three of us
have won at so its a cool place to
come. Ive got a lot of great memories
here.
One of the best involves a racing
legend.
Martin Jr. figures he was no more
than 12 years old when he was in the
garage helping work on his fathers car.
He looked up at the car next to it.
Dale Earnhardts car.
He was my favorite driver as a kid,
Martin Jr. said. I remember him being
up in the fender well working on his
carburetor and stuff like that. I just
thought it was the coolest thing. That
was probably one of my greatest me-
mories and not only because I saw
Dale, but I was sitting there thinking
that my dad is going to race against
Dale Earnhardt.
While hes been successful in the
Sprint Cup, his younger brother is
trying to make a name for himself in
the second-tier Nationwide series.
Ryan has a six-race contract with Joe
Gibbs Racing.
Ive got two more races with them
this year, he said. My goal is to go
full time next year. (Im) just trying to
find the funding to do it and put things
together. Were working on it.
His brothers status for next year
hasnt been settled either. But he
sounded optimistic that he would stay
with Michael Waltrip Racing.
Were kind of finalizing some de-
tails, but Ive been obviously extremely
happy with the performance of the
team this year, Martin Truex Jr. said.
Im looking forward to spending a lot
more years at Michael Waltrip Racing
and, hopefully, we can get that wrap-
ped up soon.
Keselowski wins Nationwide race
LOUDON, N.H. Brad Keselowski
has won the Nationwide race at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway.
The pole-sitter passed Kevin Har-
vick with about 21 laps left in the 200-
lap race on the one-mile oval when
Harvick got caught in traffic with
Amber Cope, who was 30 laps down.
Keselowski, also entered in Sundays
Sprint Cup race, stretched it from
there and won by just over seven-
tenths of a second. He also won the
pole the last two years in Nationwide
races in New Hampshire, but Kyle
Busch won both times.

NEWPORT, R.I. John Isner feels
comfortable being back in the United
States.
Hes showing it by dominating his op-
ponents.
Top seed and defending champ Isner
advanced to the final at the Hall of Fame
Tennis Championships by beating fel-
lowAmerican Ryan Harrison 7-6 (4), 6-3
on Saturday afternoon.
Isner, ranked11th, will face Australias
Lleyton Hewitt in the title match Sun-
day. Hewitt, a former worldNo. 1, defeat-
ed American Rajeev Ram 6-4, 5-7, 6-2.
The matches were held after Jennifer
Capriati and four others were enshrined
into the International Tennis Hall of
Fame.
Isner is looking to become the first re-
peat champion on Newports grass
courts since Frances Fabrice Santoro in
2008.
Joining Capriati in a 90-minute on-
court ceremony were recently retired
player Gustavo Kuerten, master player

posthumously.
Isner took control by winning the first
set tiebreak, improving his record to an
ATP-best mark of 24-10 in tiebreaks this
year.
Similar to last year, hes used his over-
powering serve to take charge in match-
es. So far this week, hes held serve in 46
of 47 chances.
Its feeling very similar actually, eeri-
ly similar, he said. Last year I wasnt
playing well and I came here and I des-
perately needed wins and confidence.
This year Im ranked a lot higher (than
last year) but I didnt play well in Europe
simple as that.
He realizes his play improves with his
return to America.
Im always most comfortable in the
States. Thats something I need to work
on. I really want to do well here, said
Isner, looking for his fourth ATP tour ti-
tle. Ivebeenfocusedsincethefirst dayI

He wrapped up the match with a fore-
hand winner down the line.
Hewitt, coming off five surgeries in
four years, entered the week ranked
233rd and was looking to accumulate
matches in his comeback bid before he
represents Australia for the London
Olympics.
Its about getting wins and putting
yourself in position, said Hewitt, look-
ing for his 29th career ATP title. I think
more than anything its about self-belief
and self-confidence.
You doubt yourself a little bit more
when youre coming back from surgery.
You cant just click your fingers and start
moving and playing the way you want to
play. Thats sometimes frustrating.

Kelly Sheptock
Fullback
Berwick Jr.
Sheptock earned all-WVC honors for a
third time. Her defense was stellar
once again, giving the Dawgs a phys-
ical presence inside. She also moved
into the offensive end on corner kicks,
scoring a goal and assisting on three
more.
Talia Szatkowski
Fullback
Dallas Fr.
Szatkowski took over a spot vacated
by her sister and continued the family
tradition of playing outstanding de-
fense. She also scored four goals and
had three assists, showing her offen-
sive skills in the postseason.
Lindsey Humanik
Fullback
Coughlin Sr.
The four-year starter was also an
All-WVC selection as a sophomore. She
was a steady, strong performer and
one of those players whose value was
immeasurable because of the position
she played.
Bridget Orlando
Fullback
Berwick Jr.
The two-time all-WVC selection once
again proved excellent defense in
helping Berwick to its second District 2
title. Her task inside was even harder
considering the inexperience on the
wings of the defense.
Marissa Lercara
Fullback
Coughlin Sr.
Lercara provided stellar defense in the
middle while also being a valuable link
to midfield. The two-time All-WVC
selection helped out offensively as
well, scoring four goals, which were
third-most on the team.
Nora Fazzi
Midfielder
Coughlin So.
Fazzi took her game to a new level in
2012, becoming a force in the middle
because of her speed and skills. She
led the Crusaders with 12 assists and
scored three times.
Amanda Sax
Keeper
Coughlin Sr.
The four-year starter finished her
career in outstanding fashion. She was
instrumental in a 10-game winning
streak, stopping three penalty kicks in
that span, as Coughlin made it to the
District 2 finals.
Colleen McDonald
Midfielder
Dallas Sr.
The three-time All-WVC pick and Drexel
University recruit fought through some
late-season knee ailments. Yet, she
managed to score 11 goals and assist
nine more for the Mountaineers.
Ivy Nulton
Forward
Coughlin Sr.
The Times Leader Player of the Year
started the season at fullback where
she excelled. She the moved up front
and scored 15 goals and assisted three
more. She was all-WVC as a junior.
Ashley Dunbar
Forward
Dallas Jr.
Dunbar proved to be dangerous any
time she touched the ball. She led
Division 1-A in scoring with a team-high
31 goals and a team-tying 13 assists to
earn her first trip to the All-WVC team.
Shoshana Mahoney
Forward
Lake-Lehman So.
After a strong freshman season de-
spite some nagging injuries, the
speedy Mahoney continued her attack
on opposing defenses. She led Division
1-B in scoring with 23 goals and two
assists.
Allie Barber
Forward
Pittston Area Fr.
Barber showed incredible speed and
skills slicing through defenses in
helping the Patriots to the Division 2-A
title. She led the entire WVC in goals
with 36 and added three assists.
Gabby Termini
Forward
Crestwood So.
Termini, a constant threat near the
18-yard-line, earned all-WVC honors for
a second consecutive season. She led
the high-scoring Comets with 20 goals
and her 11 assists were tied for the
team lead.
Brea Seabrook
Midfielder
GAR Fr.
Seabrook burst onto the scene with a
shot that was accurate from short and
long range. She led Division 2-B in
scoring with 34 goals and added five
assists.
Nikki Sutliff
Midfielder
Lake-Lehman Sr.
The two-time All-WVC selections
showed her versatility. As a steady
force at midfield, she scored once and
assisted four goals. She shifted to
sweeper late in the season and be-
came one of the WVCs best at the
spot.
Caty Davenport
Forward
Berwick Jr.
After healing from an early-season
injury, Davenport showed the ability
that made her an all-WVC selection last
season. She scored a team-high 13
goals and added four assists for the
two-time District 2 champion.
Amber Yang
Keeper
Dallas Jr.
The aggressive, athletic Yang was
having an outstanding season, posting
three consecutive shutouts before
missing time with a knee injury. She
came back late in the year and played,
although not at 100 percent.
TI MES L EADER GI RL S SOCCER AL L- STARS
Numbers sometimes only tell part of the
story.
Or sometimes they dont tell any of it as
in the case of Coughlin senior Ivy Nulton,
the Times Leader Player of the Year in
Wyoming Valley Conference girls soccer.
Nultons final scoring numbers were
impressive. She finished with15 goals to
lead the Crusaders and added three assists.
The goal total was well above the nine she
scored as a junior.
But overall, there were more prolific
scorers at least on paper. The reason was
simple. Nultons versatility, which led to a
stint on defense early in the season, kept
her fromtallying higher numbers.
You get a completely different viewof
the game, Nulton said of playing sweeper.
At forward, its more like OK, I need to
score, I need to score. You have one mind-
set that you need to get to the net.
But as a defender, you have so much
more pressure on you. It gives me more
anxiety to play there and theres so much
pressure because theyre relying on you.
You basically have the teamon your back. I
have so much respect for defenders be-
cause I played that.
Nulton was so good at defense she
earned all-star honors as a junior.
But while Nultons outstanding play was
keeping opponents off the board this sea-
son, Coughlins offense was struggling. The
Crusaders were shut out their first two
games. They scored lone goals in two of the
next three games.
Coughlin was 0-2-1after three games and
a promising season needed a boost to get
back on the correct path.
Nulton provided it once she moved up to
the attacking line. She began scoring at
will. Her speed and skills, both prevalent
while preventing goals, mushroomed as
the Crusaders went on a10-game winning
streak to end the regular season.
When (coach Joe Spagnuolo) was like
Were going to move you back up top.
Theres no other way to go. We need you,
Nulton said, I was like Yes, I will go up
top, I will play up top, I get some action. I
was happy.
The joy was because Nulton always con-
sidered herself a forward. She started there
as a freshman and sophomore. She played
there as a junior until an injury on defense
shifted her to sweeper.
Nulton has come a long way since step-
ping on a soccer field at age 5. She played at
the club level starting at 9, with two stints
with the Wyoming Valley Soccer Club and
another with Lower Dauphin County Unit-
ed. She also participated in Pennsylvanias
Olympic Developmental Program.
And shes ready to take the next step this
fall when she will play at Kings College.
But Coughlin will always bring some fond
memories.
Just my girls. Theyre just like my fam-
ily, Nulton said of her what shell miss
most. Its going to be hard. We had a spe-
cial group there. We started off my fresh-
man year with having almost 50 girls on the
team. We used to have to take two buses
everywhere.
My senior year, we had about 20 girls.
You kind of get to be a close-knit family.
As versatile as they come
Player of the Year Nulton did it all for Coughlin
Coughlin s Ivy Nulton (5) started as a defender and a forward for the Crusaders as a
senior en route to Player of the Year honors. She will play in college at Kings.

Continued fromPage 1C
On Thursday, former FBI Di-
rector Louis Freeh, who was
hired by the universitys trust-
ees to investigate, issued a re-
port that said Paterno, former
university president Graham
Spanier and two other school
administrators buried allega-
tions against Sandusky out of a
desire to avoid the conse-
quences of bad publicity.
Their inaction allowed the
retired assistant coach to con-
tinue molesting boys, Freehs
report found.
On Saturday, artist Michael
Pilato removed a halo he had
added to Paternos image on a
large mural in State College af-
ter the coach died in January.
He said he usually puts a halo
over one of his subjects when
theydie, but felt after release of
the report that it should be re-
moved in Paternos case.
Its one of the hardest things
Ive ever done in my life, but
Im glad I did it, he told The
Associated Press.
Instead, Pilato added a large
blue ribbon on Paternos lapel
symbolizing support for child
abuse victims an idea he
said Paterno endorsed before
his death. Pilato earlier re-
moved Sandusky from the mu-
ral. He said he hasnt made a
decision on the image of Span-
ier but will make some kind of
change.
People are doing it for me
pretty much theres eggs be-
ing thrown at him, and differ-
ent things like that, he said. I
was thinking about putting a
blindfold on him or some-
thing.
After all these months, many
have come to the conclusion
that the school is still the same
tight-knit, happy place they
imagined it to be.
Lauren Shevcheks sister, an
alumna, encouraged her to go
to Penn State, even more so af-
ter the scandal broke in No-
vember with charges against
Sandusky.
The second you walk on
campus, you feel right at
home, she said.
Briana Marshall, a junior
fromEast Stroudsburg, said: I
love this school. This is my
dream school. ... Theres so
much Penn State has to offer.
Its a bump in the road, but stu-
dent-wise, were still family.
Others contend that the
Happy Valley image is a con-
struct andthat theFreehreport
confirmed the way Penn State
has been run for years: to pro-
tect the school at all costs to
avoid negative publicity.
Theres almost a little bit of
relief in it for me to see those
who have been abusing this
power for so long exposed,
said Jennifer Storm, 37. She
calls the campus her second
home but remembers feeling
like the school didnt do
enough when black students
and gay students, including
herself, received death threats
in 2001.
Blue ribbons and fundrais-
ing jars for child abuse aware-
ness have sprung up around
town and school leaders say
they are taking aggressive
steps to ensure it doesnt hap-
pen again. Shevchek, 18, said
she believes no such crime will
ever happen again at Penn
State or any other college,
for that matter.
But Penn Staters have also
tired of the scandal, and the
medias treatment of the
school and Paterno.
Its tedious, Marshall said.
The actions of a few should
not define the rest, they repeat-
edly say. Then theres the dam-
age to the schools reputation
some worry about.
What will prospective em-
ployers think when they see
Penn State on the resume?
What about the scorn theyll
get from strangers for wearing
a Penn State sweatshirt in an-
other part of the country?
Then they worry about the
NCAApunishing their beloved
football program, or even shut-
ting it down.
Penn Staters also want to
move on.
Its a new coach, its a new
team, said Christian Beve-
ridge, 40, a masonry restora-
tion worker who grew up near
the campus and was working
on a building there Thursday.

Josh Holdredge ended any
chance of a Green Ridge Come-
back when he doubled off the
wall in right-center with the
bases loaded. Two scored on the
extra-base hit.
American added another run
in the fourth to increase its lead
to 9-2.
David Schuster struck out
three in the bottom of the fourth

away with a nine-run barrage in
the top of the fifth.

the hitting barrage with a two-
run shot over the wall in right
center.
Schuster closed out the game
with a flawless bottom of the
fifth to seal the victory.
Schuster pitched three in-
nings, allowed two runs and
struck out three.

in the prestigious Manhattan
Beach Grand Prix.
Years of dedication, the son
of Mary Anne and Richard
Meeker of Plymouth gave has
the reason for his longevity in
the sport.
Riding for the Breakaway
from Cancer masters team,
Meeker picked up the victory at
Manhattan Beach over an im-
pressive field.
Its by far the best racing in
the country, Meeker said of the
competition in California. Defi-
nitely a higher level of racing out
here.
Its the cream of the crop.
Meeker gives a lot of his credit
for his success to the coaching
he received early in his career
from Dave and Rob Latetieri.
Thanks to the two Scranton
natives, Meeker said he learned
to win.
Something he has gotten
better at as he has grown older,
according to Tom Jones of
Around Town Bicycles a high
school classmate of Meekers.
Hes really one of those riders
who has got better with age,
Jones told me when I stopped by
the shop to pick up a tube on
Wednesday.
According to Meeker, a lot of
that has to do with learning how
When Ri-
chard Meeker
was growing up
in the 70s, he
got caught one
too many times
riding his mo-
torcycle on the
road causing his father to sell
the bike.
Still needing a way to travel
the six miles to the job he held
at the time, Meeker turned to
his fathers bike the kind with-
out the motor.
That simple act of discipline
ignited a lifelong cycling career
that has seen Meeker reach the
heights of the sport.
Its a career in which he has
won national championships
both on the road and the track,
been part of the United States
National Team and raced for one
the U.S. Postal masters team
while Lance Armstrong was
winning his seven Tour de
Frances.
Its my love and my hobby
said Meeker, who grew up in
Northeastern Pennsylvania,
moved to California in1991 and
now calls Corona Del Mar, Cal-
if., home.
And at 49, the Wyoming Val-
ley West graduate is still going
strong.
A quick glance at his USA
Cycling webpage shows seven
straight victories in Masters
divisions races dating back to
early May.
His most recent victory came
to train properly.
The key is to be rested,
Meeker said. A lot of riders
leave their race legs in training.
Meeker, who is self employed
in financial sales, adds that
holding down a full-time job
helps to keep him from over-
training.
His success hasnt only come
as a rider.
Meeker has worked with some
of the big names in American
cycling, including current Tour
de France rider and Olympian
Chris Horner.
So as he closes in on his 50th
birthday, the logical question is
how long does Meeker plan to
continue racking up victories.
Thats a great question, he
said. As long as I can.
That could be a very long time
with the way he is going now.
Endure around the corner
The American Cancer Socie-
tys Endure for the Cure ride and
run is just around the corner.
I had a chance to ride the
event last year, and it is well
worth your time.
The run is Aug. 11 and the ride
is Aug. 12. The registration fee is
$40 for the ride, $25 for the run
or $50 for both.

LE CAP DAGDE, France
Andre Greipel of Germany led a
photo-finish sprint to win the
13th stage of the Tour de France
on Saturday, while Britains Bra-
dley Wiggins retained the overall
leaders yellow jersey as the race
headed to the Mediterranean.
The windy and flat 134.8-mile
run, with one major climb from
Saint-Paul-Trois-Chateaux to Le
CapdAgde, was tailoredfor awin
by one of the races sprinters.
Greipels ability to get over the
super-steep Mont Saint-Clair
climb, in the picturesque port
town of Sete about 14 miles from
the finish, helped pave the way
for his victory. Several other top
sprinters such as Britains
Mark Cavendish struggled up
the hill and fell back.
Greipel, who turns 30 on Mon-
day, earned his third stage victo-
ry of this years Tour after win-
ning the fourth and fifth stages in
sprint finishes. Still-photo imag-
ery showed he won by half a
wheels lengthaheadof Slovakian
rider Peter Sagan. Edvald Boas-
son Hagen of Norway was third.
Wiggins trailed close behind in
the main pack. Overall, he leads
his second-place Sky teammate
and fellow Briton Christopher
Froome by 2 minutes, 5 seconds.
Vincenzo Nibali of Italy is third,
2:23 back, and defending cham-
pion Cadel Evans of Australia is
3:19 off the pace in fourth.
Saturdays route was known as
a transitional stage because it
was mostly flat, and guided rid-
ers away from their last big test
the Alps and toward their
next, the Pyrenees.
Greipels Lotto Belisol team
did the hard work of leading the
pack through a wind-swept ride
along the shore in pursuit of
breakaway riders Michael Albasi-
ni and Alexandre Vinokourov, ul-
timately catching them.
Ina boldmove, withless thana
mile left, Wiggins powered up to
the front of the pack with Sky
teammate Boasson Hagen on his
back wheel, trying to set up the
Norwegian for the stage win.
Greipel said he speculated
that such a plot was being
hatched. Hepulledupjust behind
Hagen, then whizzed around him
after a final bend and held on.
Im really happy with this vic-
tory ... it was once again a team
effort, saidGreipel, whohas four
career Tour stage wins. The
sprint was very long. I was just on
the wheel of Boasson Hagen, and
I sawthat I couldwinif I just gave
a little extra at the end.
Wiggins said he led the late
surge because he wanted to stay
in front and out of possible trou-
ble in a big final bend in the road.
He also wanted to help Boasson
Hagen to return a favor for his
support in the Alps.
Once we knewthat Cavendish
wasnt goingtocome back, every-
body said wed try to do the job
for Edvald, Wiggins said.
Sometimes its just good to get
on the front and try to repay a
friend of mine back.
Still, Spains Luis Leon San-
chez, who had been leading in a
two-man breakaway that was
overtaken by Wiggins, showed
his frustration with an angry
hand gesture.
Sanchez said he felt Sky was
being too dominant and didnt
understand why Wiggins was
working to help a teammate win
a stage while in yellow himself.
Sanchez later appeared to have
second thoughts about his first
reaction and wrote on Twitter, I
beg (Wiggins) pardon. He is the
leader of the race so he and his
teamhave the right to do whatev-
er they want.

BUL L E T I N

T
he behemoth woodchuck am-
bled a few yards into the pasture
and munched on a patch of
white clover.
It was a 90-degree July afternoon,
and the succulent clover was tempta-
tion enough to lure the fat chuck from
its hole.
I watched for a few minutes until the
woodchuck decided the heat was too
much and slowly meandered back to
the entrance of its den.
Theres nothing unusual about see-
ing a woodchuck in a field, but this
instance was a bit unique. When
theyre out in the open, woodchucks
are extremely wary. In between mouth-
fuls of grass they constantly raise their
heads searching for danger. If some-
thing seems out of place, a chuck
doesnt hesitate to make a quick bee-
line for the safety of its den.
But this particular chuck which
had quite a bit of girth was very lack-
adaisical. It didnt appear sick, but
rather simply beaten down by the heat
like the rest of us.
Im not complaining about the hot
summer weve experienced this year.
Ill miss the 90-degree heat and bright
sun during those gray February days
when winter seems like it will never
end.
Still, just like the cold and snow
poses a challenge to wildlife, so does
the heat and sun.
While we have the luxury of cranking
up the air conditioner to beat the heat,
wildlife has to cope in other ways.
A recent walk through some farm
fields and a swamp provided a few
examples.
A hen turkey brought her 13 poults
into a cut hayfield to feed on insects
under the hot sun. From my vantage
point behind a tree, I watched as the
poults energetically chased and gob-
bled insects without showing any ill
effects of the heat.
The hen, however, took it easy. She
stood still, allowing body heat to dis-
sipate from her unfeathered head and
neck. The hen also panted for brief
spells and even fanned her wings out to
allow the breeze to penetrate her feath-
ers.
In a woodlot nearby I could make out
the heads of two deer bedded down
underneath thick evergreens. The tree
canopy offered plenty of shade for the
deer, who were content to wait out the
afternoon heat while patiently flicking
their ears to scatter flies.
While the farmland wildlife was
managing pretty well in the heat, I
decided to check out a large swamp
nestled deep in a hollow to see how the
aquatic life was coping with the heat.
It was a different story.
As I approached the edge of a pond
in the middle of the swamp, it ap-
peared that life was on hold. The song-
birds were quiet, floating logs were
devoid of basking turtles and I couldnt
spot a single frog perched on the wa-
ters edge.
The only sign of life was offered by
the dozens of dragonflies that darted
through the air and buzzed the ponds
surface without fear.
For it seemed that the heat was even
too much for the largemouth bass, who
normally would be ready to smack the
surface and gulp a dragonfly.
As the afternoon waned, I made one
last trip to the pasture to see if the
chuck had returned.
He didnt, and after a brief search
along the edge of the woods I could see
why. I found the entrance to the
chucks den tucked under the shade
offered by a stand of sassafras. The
fresh dirt mounded around the hole
was surprisingly cool, and I suspected
that things were even cooler deep
down in the earthen den.
Taking a cue from the chuck, I took a
seat nearby and waited out the after-
noon heat under the shade of the sassa-
fras.
No, it wasnt as cool as sitting in
front of an air conditioner, but when it
comes to beating the July heat any bit
of shade will do.

WEEKLY BASS TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP
T
he bear that Wildlife Conserva-
tion Officer Dave Allen live-
trapped last week in Conyng-
ham Township is so rare that
the Pennsylvania Game Com-
missions bear biologist has only handled
two in 12 years.
Out of the several thousand bears har-
vested each hunting season, only two or
three are similar to the one Allen trapped.
Making the situation even more unique,
Allen believes there is another bear just
like it roaming the same area.
Responding to a complaint of a bear
raiding blueberry bushes, Allen set a live
trap at the location near Route 239. After
a few days he caught the culprit a
brown-phase black bear. The brown phase
is one of four color variations found in
black bears, and within the phase there is
even more variety.
PGC black bear biologist Mark Ternent
said brown-phase black bears can have
coats that are blond, red, chocolate or
cinnamon.
Allens bear was the latter.
In the western states, the brown phase
may represent over 70 percent of the
black bear population, Ternent said. But
its rare to have a cinnamon bear at all in
Pennsylvania.
Allen said the bear, a young female
weighing 185 pounds, was live-trapped
after it was spotted raiding a farmers
blueberry bushes. The bear was relocated
on State Game Lands in the Mountain
Top area.
Her coat was thinner because of the
summer, but it was still a very attractive,
unique bear, Allen said. I can only imag-
ine how impressive a bear like this would
look in the winter with a full, thick coat.
Based on reports and photos from resi-
dents in the area of Conyngham Town-
ship, Allen believes there is a second cin-
namon bear in the locale. The second
bear, he said, appears much larger than
the one he trapped and is more blond in
color.
The pictures dont match the one I
trapped, Allen said. The one we relocat-
ed was pretty red, and the size difference
between the two is a dead giveaway.
If there were two brown-phase black
bears in the area of Conyngham Town-
ship, Ternent said such an occurrence is
highly uncommon but not entirely surpris-
ing.
An area of Lycoming County, he said,
produces multiple cinnamon bears with
some regularity.
Any cinnamon-phase bear is uncom-
mon, but when they do show up it tends
to be in clusters, Ternent said. Its like a
little genetic pocket that keeps the trait in
that particular area.
The Conyngham Township bruin was
the second adult cinnamon bear that Allen
has trapped. The first was in 2008 in the
Hazleton area.
Ternent has handled approximately 150
live bears annually for the last 12 years in
Pennsylvania and only two have been
brown-phase. He said the color variation
is similar to the occurrence of black-phase
gray squirrels, but its not related to albino
deer because color isnt lacking from the
fur.
Aside from the unusual color variation,
pink lips and nose, Ternent said a brown-
phase bear is no different from any other
bruin.
Just a bit more uncommon.
Its unique, its rare, but other than that
its the same as any other black bear, he
said.

This cinnamon bear, still under the effects of a tranquilizer, was trapped by WCO Dave Allen in 2008 in Hazleton. He recently
trapped a second last week in Conyngham Township.
Rare to find two of a kind
By TOMVENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com The color of bears
Ternent said black bears have four color
phases:
Black most common
Brown including cinnamon, chocolate,
blond and red
White now a pure albino; eyes and nose
are black; found in coastal British
Columbia
Blue coat is a steel color; found in parts
of Alaska
Most black bears arent 100 percent black,
according to Ternent. Most have some
white on their chest, whether its a
noticeable circle, crescent or V, or even
just a few white hairs.

The Times Leader staff
Amove by a Lancaster County-
based group to take the Sunday
huntingissue tocourt isnt gener-
ating much optimism from the
state legislator who has intro-
duced several measures to make
the concept a reality.
State Rep. EdStaback(D-Lack-
awanna) introduced House Bill
1760last year. The bill wouldgive
the Pennsylvania Game Commis-
sion the authority to enact Sun-
day hunting to whichever species
or seasons they feel appropriate.
The measure has stalled in the
House Game and Fisheries Com-
mittee because of Republican op-
position in the Senate, Staback
said.
There was no sense in calling
that bill up if you knew it was go-
ing to get knocked down in the
Senate, Staback said. At this
point, I dont think its going to
come up again for a long time.
The group Hunters United for
Sunday Hunting is trying to
change that. The group is plan-
ning on suing the state govern-
ment, claiming the ban on Sun-
day hunting is illegal and
shouldnt exist. HUSH says the
Game Commission should have
authority over Sunday hunting,
just like Stabacks bill called for.
In a best-case scenario, Sta-
back said, the courts would rule
that the Sunday hunting ban
shouldnt exist and the authority
would be given to the PGC.
But he isnt optimistic that will
happen.
I suspect that the court would
kick it back to the General As-
sembly and nothing will happen
fromthere. I just dont seeanyone
willing to pick up the ball again,
Staback said. I understand the
frustration from those who sup-
port Sunday hunting, but if it was
going to occur it shouldve hap-
pened in the state House.

Playing at 1 p.m. today at
Mountain Post is Tunkhannock
vs. Mountain Post, which defeat-
ed Hazleton 6-0 in an elimination
game on Saturday. The winner of
the 1 p.m. game joins Greater
Pittston in the regional event set
to begin on Saturday at Connell
Park in Scranton. The top two
teams from the league advance.
Although Chupkas hit broke
open the game which was just
2-0at the time andgave starting
pitcher AdamRomanowski more
breathing room, Romanowski
didnt seem to need more sup-
port.
The Wyoming Area grad, who
tossed a no-hitter just two weeks
ago, was dominant again on Sat-
urday. He only gave up five hits,
walked just one and struck out
five in the complete-game shut-
out.
Romanowski, who will attend
the University of Pittsburgh and
look to walk-on the baseball
team, kept Tunkhannock from
putting any sort of rally together
by only allowing one leadoff hit-
ter to reach base, and that runner
in the sixth was erased on a dou-
ble-play grounder. Romanowski
also pitched the last two outs of
Fridays win against Hazleton.
Its a great feeling to pitch a
complete game because every-
thing is in your hands and its
great to know the coaches trust
me with it, Romanowski said.
Greater Pittston, which has
been one of the premier teams in
the league over the last 10 years,
is looking for its sixth title since
2002 and first since 2010. The
team opened the scoring in the
bottom of the third without a hit
by utilizing the speed of leadoff
hitter Nick OBrien, who reached
on an error, stole two bases and
scored on a sacrifice fly.
Another run came home in the
fifth before Chupkas hit on a run-
scoring single by Randy McDer-
mott. A Kody Nowicki single
plated OBrien in the sixth for a
6-0 lead as the No. 2 seed dis-
played a well-played game with
pitching, offense and defense
committing no errors.
GPmanager DrewWhyte cred-
ited his assistant coaches Charlie
McDermott, Rob Lemoncelli and
Jerry Rainelli for the hard work
they put in during the season and
added that his veteran team is
ready for the next step.

We play an aggressive style of

have very good team speed and
we take advantage of that when
we can. And we practice baserun-

what I try to tell these kids its
14 as one. Everybody has a role,
everybody has to settle into that
role and there are times when an
unexpected guy is going to come
up in a key situation and get
things rolling.
South Wilkes-Barre reliever
Kenny Macko had the opposite
effect on Old Forge. He picked up
where starter Colin Pasone left
off, pitching 4
1
3 strong innings.
After allowing a towering homer
toBrendanMozeleski tostart the
fourth, Macko worked out of a
two-out jam in the fifth and re-
tiredthesideinorder inthesixth.
South Wilkes-Barre tacked on
its final runs inthesixthwhenTo-
molonis strikeout ended up be-
ing as effective as his two-run
double in the fifth. The third
strike escaped the catcher and
the throwto first sailed into right
field. That allowed Ostrowski to
Noah Edwards of South Wilkes-Barre completes a put-out at first
base against Old Forge on Saturday. South Wilkes-Barre stayed
within a run early before rallying for a 5-1 win.

Heat and humidi-
ty will be back in
our forecast for
the early part of
this week. We
will see some
much-needed
rain this after-
noon with a high
of 84 and mostly
cloudy skies.
Monday will start
off partly sunny,
but become
cloudy in the
afternoon as
showers move in
and the humidity
goes up. Tuesday
looks like it will
be hazy, hot and
humid. A cold
front will move
through on
Wednesday and
bring relief from
the heat and
humidity, but it
will also bring
showers in the
evening. As soon
as the front
passes, skies
turn partly
sunny for
Thursday. Look
for mostly sunny
skies for the
weekend with
highs in the mid
80s.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Thunderstorms will be seen over a large part of the eastern United states
today. The best chances will be in the Northeast, especially this afternoon. Scattered monsoonal
thunderstorms will develop in the Intermountain West and Desert Southwest, with a cold front pro-
ducing more showers in the northern Rockies and parts of Washington. The Plains will remain hot.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N D
timesleader.com
L
ets agree up front that in a region
with a state-leading unemploy-
ment rate any jobs are better than
none. And some of the promised 150
positions at a Neiman Marcus distribu-
tion center in Jenkins Township will
pay well, particularly for an area that
also suffers with some of the lowest
wages in the nation.
But many of the jobs will be low-
paying even by those standards, be-
tween $8 and $12 an hour, a Neiman
Marcus executive said last week. Still,
the state is kicking in $453,000 in Job
Creation Tax Credits that can be ap-
plied to hires paid 150 percent of the
minimum wage, or $10.88 per hour. For
a full-time, 40 hour worker, that works
out to $22,620 a year, hardly a level
that can support a family or spending
beyond the very basics of life.
So should we be happy about this
new business? Of course; it will mean
150 fewer people will have to worry
about where their next meal is coming
from, and some of them will turn an
entry level position picking boxes off
shelves into a career.
And dont forget the spinoffs, says
Greg Shields, senior vice president of
operations and distribution at the re-
tailer known for its extravagant Christ-
mas catalog.
Theyre going to have to expand
that FedEx building, he predicted, to
handle the comings and goings of cases
of designer handbags and boutique
bedding.
It does provide an umbrella of eco-
nomic infusion into the area, Shields
said.
So perhaps the better question
would be: Is that all there is? Do we
have to be satisfied with warehouses
(distribution center sounds so much
more important, but really thats what
this is), or can this region attract high-
er-skill, higher-pay employers.
Bill Moore, the new president of the
Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber, thinks
so and believes we must.
I know that you cannot rely on
traditional industries to build for the
future, Moore said. They can provide
an employment base, but its important
to look ahead at developing fields, he
believes.
High tech is undoubtedly the wave
of the future, he said, and we have
good resources to attract those busi-
nesses in our universities and an
emerging biotech cluster that is grow-
ing around The Commonwealth Med-
ical College.
He listed other advantages, such as
low cost of land and buildings and a
high-quality work force.
With a little creativity its possible
to attract businesses, Moore said. All
it takes is to get the one or two to
start and that can create a center of
excellence where other businesses
want to be.
Weve heard similar optimistic as-
sessments before and even committed
substantial funds to growing a new
crop of employers. Remember Wall
Street West and its $15 million promise
of thousands of high-paid stock traders
and back-office personnel?
But while weve had big dreams, the
reality has been less impressive, more
warehouse than Wall Street.
It may not seem so, but the present
economic malaise presents an opportu-
nity. Businesses of all types are strug-
gling to maintain profits in the face of
slack demand, and one way they can do
that is by reducing costs. The same
qualities that appealed to Neiman
Marcus affordable real estate, access
to markets and a responsible popula-
tion looking for work should be at-
tractive to higher-level industries.
Now is the time for Moore, other
economic development types and polit-
ical leaders to join forces and find those
one or two employers that can give us
the economic boost we deserve.

NEW YORK If a gold medal
could be awarded for Olympic mar-
keting, Procter & Gamble would
surely be striving for it.
With the opening ceremony of the
Olympics less than two weeks away,
the worlds largest consumer prod-
ucts maker unveiled an ad that
shows child athletes arriving in Lon-
don and getting ready to compete.
In the Kids commercial, a proud
mom watches her son on the diving
board and these words are posted on
the screen: To their moms, theyll
always be kids. Then, an announcer
says the companys tagline: P&G,
proud sponsor of moms.
P&G is just one of the major com-
panies that pay millions of dollars
for sponsorships, ads and other mar-
keting surrounding the Summer
Olympics. Its their attempt to at-
tach their names to the high-profile
event and drive sales.
The Olympics are an advertisers
paradise. The 2008 Olympics in
Beijing was the most-watched event
in U.S. television history: An aver-
age of 27.7 million people saw the
telecast over 17 nights. Companies
spent $977 million in advertising
during the 2008 Olympics to reach
that audience, according to Kantar
Media.
P&G, which was not a sponsor in
Beijing, is trying to capture those
eyeballs this time around. The
Kids ad is just a small part of the
companys Olympics marketing ef-
forts, which began in the spring.
P&G, which declined to disclose
its spending on marketing, has a
corporate campaign in addition to
initiatives for 34 separate brands,

CHICAGO Parents of college-
bound students have a decision to
make as offers streamin for their soon-
to-depart teenagers.
Should they send their green fresh-
men off to campus armed with a debit
or credit card to learn how to handle
money? Or is it better tokeepfirmcon-
trol through the Bank of Mom and
Dad?
The correct answer will vary by
family and personal preference.
The Credit Card Act that took effect
2
1
2 years ago made it much harder for
anyoneunder 21toget acard. Goneare
the days of card issuers racking up
scads of new customers on campus by
handing out free T-shirts or rewards
points for spring break.
In the old days, if you could fog a
mirror could get a credit card, says
Adam Levin, chairman and founder of
Credit.com, a San Francisco-based
company that provides information
about credit products.
Under-21s can still obtain a credit
cardif theyhaveaqualifiedco-signeror
proof of sufficient income to repay the
debt. And card issuers still market ag-
gressively to college students, target-
ingthemwithpre-screenedmail offers.
That makes parents, as the likeliest
co-signers, more involved in the card-
or-no-card decision.
RobynKahnFedermanof Rochester,
N.Y., says theres no way shell let ei-
ther of her two daughters have a credit
card at such a financially tender age.
Her daughter Sarah, whos 19 and
about to start her second year of col-
lege, uses her PayPal card instead.
That lets her momfund the balance as
well as see howspends her money.
I dont think anything related to
debt belongs in the hands of a college
kid, says Federman, communications
director of a marketing agency. The
vast majority are not experienced
enough with money or cognizant
enough of the risks.
Some students, though, have shown
theyre disciplined enough to have
their own card on campus.
Scott Gamm, a junior at New York
Universitys Stern School of Business,
used his income from freelance work
and blogging to obtain a Visa card and

ly. He charges $200 or $300 on them

ANOVER TWP. After
nearly 30 years in a rent-
ed 5,000-square-foot
space in a Sans Souci
Parkway strip mall, Michael
Mootz Candies will move into a
company owned location that
adds about 3,000 square feet of
space and more parking. Custom-
ers wont have to travel far to find
it.
Debi and Michael Mootz have
purchased the former RJ
McGlynns Auto Exchange about
one-quarter mile down the Sans
Souci andplanto renovate the two
buildings on the property and
build connecting hallways to cre-
ate one complex. The goal is to
move inbyNovember, whichkicks
off the busiest season of the year
that starts withThanksgiving, and
ends at Easter.
McGlynns moved to a newloca-
tion in West Nanticoke in May.
Debi Mootz, 57, said the move
has been in the works for a while
and was spurred by growth and
the need for more customer park-
ing. The strip malls parking lot in-
cludes about 70spaces for custom-
ers and employees of six business-
es. The new property will include
45 spaces dedicated to customers
and room in the rear for the busi-
ness 18 employees.
Debi Mootz said the former car
lot will be reshaped with one
4,000-square-foot building to be
used for manufacturing the candy
and another of similar size, a for-
mer garage and office space, for
the retail store and office.
Theres room for growth, cer-
tainly, she said, though there are
no immediate plans to increase
production.

Growth is something the busi-
ness has seen plenty of since Mi-
chael Mootz, 60, made his first
batches of products and took
them to fairs and farmers mar-
kets in 1975. Soon he opened a
retail location in the Wyoming
Valley Mall and was selling prod-
ucts inside McCrorys. The
Mootzes married in 1979 and
they purchased the former Cava-
naugh Candy property on Brown
Street in Wilkes-Barre to manu-
facture their candy. Before this
the candy had been made at
Mootzs fathers candy shop in
Pottsville, which is now closed.
By 1984 business was good
and the Mootzes began renting
the larger space in the Cross-
roads ShoppingCenter alongthe
SanSouci. Six years ago, they ex-
panded into an adjoining store-
front, once home to A Time To
Travel.
But when you lease, instead of
own, your options are limited.
The problem with leasing is
not being able to control your
own destiny, Michael Mootz
said.
Their son Jason, 29, got in-
volved in the business and Mi-
chael and Debi said his involve-
ment made the decision to move
into a larger locationto aidinthe
companys future more sensible.
If his decision were in doubt

considerably much more
thought, Michael Mootz said.
Its a lot easier when you have a
son whos interested.
The Mootzes, who live in
MountainTop, areindiscussions
with an architect to finish plans
for the buildings and hope to
have them complete later this
month. While they have not
made a big public announce-
ment about the planned move,
they are not hiding it. A sign at
the former car lot tells passersby
that it is the future home of Mi-
chael Mootz Candies and any
customers that asks is told the
same.
Those customers, many of
them customers since Michael
began selling candy at local fairs
37 years ago, are the reason the
move was even considered, Debi
Mootz said.
We need better parking, she
said. Its just time to offer some
better facilities to our custom-
ers.
She said they were fortunate
to find a suitable property so
close to where theyve been do-
ing business for 28 years.
You could stand outside our

It will be a nice transition for
our customers, her husband
added.

monthly and pays every bill in

But he has friends who ob-
tained three or four cards within
a year and nowhave big debts to
showfor their status symbols.
The more credit you have ac-
cess to, especially at that young
age, the higher the probability
youll use that card to finance
fancy clothes, restaurants and
entertainment, says Gamm, 20.
Credit cardissuers have differ-
ing standards in determining
whether an applicant under 21
has the ability to make pay-
ments. Somemaysayitsenough
if he or she has a job and can af-
ford the minimum monthly pay-
ment. That cantake the decision
out of Momand Dads hands.
Any student who gets a card
should use it only for emergen-
cies or otherwisepayit off imme-
diately.
Gamm, whofoundedaperson-
al finance website, HelpSaveMy-
Dollars.com, agrees. Students
shouldviewtheir credit cardas a
waytobuildstrongcredit via mi-
nor purchases here and there
and not as a way to extend their
spending habits, he says.
Co-signing should only be an
option if the student can use a
credit card responsibly, says Bill
Hardekopf, who operates Low-
Cards.com, a credit card com-
parison site. If so, a card with a
very low limit is a good way to
start building credit without un-
due risk.
If you dont think your college
kid is ready for a credit card, you
can opt for a debit card linked to
a checking account. The down-
side: These cards dont help
build credit scores.
The bottom line for college
students and their parents: Be
very cautious before you gradu-
ate to a full-fledged credit card.
Acredit cardcanbea positive
tool, says Levin. It can be very
helpful in building your credit
but it can also be an instrument
in your financial self-destruc-
tion.

ranging from Pampers to Du-
racell. Additionally, the com-
pany is sponsoring more than
150 global athletes.
Its the largest multi-brand
program weve ever done,
says Marc Pritchard, global
marketing and brand building
officer at P&G.
P&G expects the campaign
to drive $500 million in sales.
Thats much larger than the
$100 million in sales the com-
pany garnered from its cam-
paign at the 2010 Vancouver
Winter Olympics, the first
time P&G was an Olympic
sponsor.
But the stakes are higher
now. The 175-year-old compa-
ny has some of the most well-
known brands in the world,
including Tide and Pampers.
But it has lost ground to com-
petitors such as Unilever.
And like many consumer
product companies, P&G has
been expanding internation-
ally as growth in the U.S. and
other mature markets slows.
But weakness in Europe and
uncertainty about the overall
global economy coupled with
high costs for commodities
such as fuel and packaging,
has led to lackluster results.
Now P&G is focusing on its
most profitable markets, such
as the U.S., Mexico, Germany
and Brazil, among other
countries. Its also scaling
back on introducing new
products in some emerging
markets like China, rolling
back some price increases
and cutting costs.
The company, which is one
of this regions largest em-
ployers with about 4,000 em-
ployees and contractors at its
paper products plant near
Mehoopany, also is counting
on its Olympics campaign to
drive sales in its most profit-
able countries. P&G worked
with retailers in those mar-
kets to create multi-brand dis-
plays in stores, supported by
TV and print advertising. It
also plans to air the P&G cor-
porate TV spots, including
Kids, in these countries.
We designed the program
to be global, to ensure that we
would be successful in top
markets, Pritchard says.
The company considers
that campaign a success so
far. It has had 19 million
views of Best Job, a short
film on the Facebook page
and Youtube. Kids, which
debuted on Wednesday on the
companys Facebook page,
will air on TV globally in
coming days. It is also on the

well as Youtube.com.

Q.: I recently promoted one
of the supervisors in my de-
partment to a management
position. Several of her peers
also applied for the job, but I
felt she was clearly the most
qualified. Unfortunately, one
of the unsuccessful applicants
has had a hard time accepting
my decision.
Carls recent negative atti-
tude has been noticed by both
his employees and his co-
workers. He seems to be going
through some sort of grieving
process. Since Carl will soon
be reporting to the newly ro-
moted manager, this really
needs to stop. How much time
should I give him to get over
it?
A.: Any supervisor who pub-
licly pouts about losing a pro-
motion is hardly management
material, so your decision to
bypass Carl was obviously cor-
rect. At work, people are ex-
pected to keep their emotions
in check and react to setbacks
in a mature manner. Although
Carls disappointment is un-
derstandable, he still needs to
maintain his game face at
the office.
To get this point across, sit
Carl down for a sympathetic,
but firm, discussion of expec-
tations. He must accept the
fact that this decision is final
and he is about to have a new
boss. He also needs to realize
that his reaction to this transi-
tion could greatly affect his fu-
ture prospects.
For example: Carl, I under-
stand that you are disappoint-
ed about the promotion, but
your negativity is beginning
to affect other people. Regard-
less of how you feel, I need
you to start acting like a ma-
ture, professional supervisor.
I also expect you to have a
pleasant, cooperative rela-
tionship with your new man-
ager. Otherwise, you will only
be hurting your own career.
If Carl is basically a good
employee, that should be
enough to snap him out of his
funk. But just to be sure,
check with his boss occasion-
ally to see how things are go-
ing.
Q: Although my daughter
has a degree in criminal jus-
tice, shes had difficulty find-
ing work since she finished
college. Employers always say
they need someone with expe-
rience, but howcan she get ex-
perience when no one will
hire her?
A: Many new grads are sur-
prised to learn that simply
having a degree may not be
enough to land a job. Fortu-
nately, however, experience
can be gained from activities
other than paid employment,
so your daughter should begin
seeking opportunities to bol-
ster her resume.
Since she presumably has a
lot of free time, she might try
doing volunteer work for orga-
nizations in her field or be-
coming involved with relevant
professional associations.
This will not only increase her
knowledge and expertise, but
also connect her with people
who can suggest job leads and
serve as references.
To improve her odds of get-
ting hired, your daughter
should also use this slow peri-
od to sharpen her skills in net-
working, resume-writing and
interviewing. Most applicants
fail to thoroughly prepare for
the job search process, so
those who do have an auto-
matic advantage.
What she should not do is
spend hours and hours ran-
domly applying for jobs on-
line. This will just waste time
that could be put to better use.

CASH IS INDEED KING
The next time a company you own gets a buyout offer, check to see
if its being paid in stock or in cash. If its cash, thats a good sign.
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley and
New York University looked at merger offers made from 1980 to
2008, but only those that
werent consummated. That
way, they could see what
happened to the stock price
of the target company after
the deal fell through.
After bids made with stock
fell through, the target
companys stock reverted to
where it was before the deal
was announced. But in deals
where cash was offered, the
target companys stock was
generally 15 percent higher
after the deal failed.
BRIGHT SPOT
Finally, an encouraging sign
about the economy: House-
hold finances are starting to
get better.
During the first quarter,
households had 2.11 times
more in bank deposits, stock
accounts and other assets
than they had in mortgages
and other debt. Thats up from
1.99 times in the fourth quar-
ter of 2011, and its the big-
gest quarterly increase since
1999, says Deutsche Bank
economist Joseph LaVorgna.
The improvement could help
support consumer spending,
which makes up 70 percent of
the economy.

Styles come and go, in fashion
and in the financial markets.
Growth-oriented stocks have out-
performed value stocks for the
better part of five years, including
most of this year. But in June,
leadership switched to value-
oriented stocks for the first time in
seven months, according to mutu-
al fund tracker Lipper.
Funds that primarily invest in
low-priced value stocks returned
an average 3.8 percent in June,
outpacing the 2.7 percent average
for growth-stock funds. Whats
more, June was the first month in
six that funds investing mainly in
small-cap stocks outperformed
large-cap funds. Source: Lipper

The best long-term opportunities in
emerging market stocks are no
longer in the big names of Brazil or
China, says Lewis Kaufman. He
is focusing on smaller economies
with stronger growth prospects. He
looks for companies with strong
balance sheets and that generate
lots of cash. He avoids investing in
businesses that are dependent on
selling stock or bonds to raise
funds to grow.
Where are the best buys today?
Were finding great opportunities in
Brazil and China. Over the next six
to 18 months, thats where the
best value is. But if you look out
beyond that, there are markets
that I would characterize as growth
pockets. Theyre almost alterna-
tives to Brazil and China.
What are the alternatives to
Brazil?
In Latin America, they are Peru
and Colombia. Colombia is an
economy where as recently as 10
years ago, the security was very
poor. Thats important because
the geology in the energy re-
serves is very similar to the geolo-
gy in Venezuela. But because the
security was so bad, the capital
never came to Colombia: If you
built a pipeline, guerrillas might
blow it up.
Now oil production in Colombia
is growing and creating jobs and
tax revenue for the government.
Thats an economy where youre
going to see much better growth
rates than in Brazil and with a
more stable currency.
Peru is a country that has great
copper reserves. We own a bank
there, which not only is benefiting
from very high loan growth but al-
so has the most consolidated
banking position in the world.
Three banks command 85 percent
of the market there.
And the alternatives to China?
Indonesia and the Philippines. For
economies, size does matter. The
reason size matters is if I have a
bank, and if they have a good
business model, theyre going to
be able to replicate it and sell it to
a lot of people.
Indonesia might not have a bil-
lion people, but it has 250 million,
which is a big number. Its also an
economy that is relatively isolated
from Western demand. They are
not an export-driven economy,
they are consumption driven: Con-
sumption is 70 percent of GDP,
which is a very high number.
In the Philippines, this is a
country with a lot of people who
speak English, and they work as
nannies and nurses in the Middle
East, in Asia and in the U.S. And
theyre making money and sending
it home. Remittances are about
$20 billion, growing 5 percent, for
a $200 billion economy. That mon-
ey is being spent in the grocery
stores, being deposited in the
banks, and its being re-lent to the
economy.

Half way through 2012, bond mutual fund
investors are witnessing a change in momentum.
Emerging market funds have posted some of the
strongest results so far this year, an 8.2 percent
return through Wednesday. Emerging markets have
been the main growth engine for the global
economy since the recession. But investors are still
mindful of their history of high-prole bond defaults,
like Argentinas in 2001.
Returns for bond mutual fund investors come
from two sources: the interest that the bonds pay,
plus any price increases for the bonds in the mutual
fund portfolio.
Recently, interest payments have become
skimpier. But the falling yields have pushed up the
price of existing bonds, because their interest rates
start to look comparatively more attractive. Its the
rise in bond prices thats driven returns this year.
High-yield or junk-bond funds are also among the
top performers. These funds invest in bonds with
very low credit ratings, which means the issuing
corporations pay more interest so they can attract
investors. These funds have returned an average 7.4
percent this year.
But these trends may not last. A slumping U.S. job
market, slowing economic growth in China and India,
and Europes continuing debt crisis mean riskier
bond funds are faltering. Safer options, such as U.S.
government bond funds, have been the best
performers since the spring. Demand for Treasurys
has pushed yields lower. A 10-year note pays about
1.5 percent, down from 3.1 percent a year ago.

Stock and oil prices have been
moving in tandem more often late-
ly. Recently, thats meant both have
been falling.
The reason: Stocks and oil are
moving based on perceptions about
the global economys strength.
When investors wor-
ry that the economy is
faltering, they ratchet
down expectations for both corpo-
rate profits and demand for oil.
Last quarter, worries about a
weakening U.S. job market, slow-
er growth in emerging markets and
Europes continuing debt crisis sent
the price of crude down 16.6 per-
cent and the S&P 500 index down
3.3 percent.
But historically some stocks
have risen when oil prices fall.
This screen from Credit Suisse
shows stocks that have consis-
tently done better than others
when oil prices are falling. All the
stocks also have Outperform
ratings from Credit Suisse.

Yields, mortgage rates fall again
Another week, another record low for mortgage
rates. The average rate on a 30-year fixed mort-
gage fell to 3.56 percent from 3.62 percent a week
earlier. It was 4.51 percent a year ago but has
been below 4 percent for the last four months.
Mortgage rates have followed Treasury yields
lower: A 10-year note yields roughly 1.5 percent,
about half what it yielded a year ago.

Ringing Up Telefonica
Europe has been an economic
battlefield for quite a while now,
with Spain recently near the epicen-
ter. Investors are shying away from
Spanish telecom giant Telefonica
(NYSE: TEF), fearing a European
slowdown that could hurt its future
earnings. That might be short-
sighted, though.
Investors have painted Telefonica
with the same brush that theyve
used for most other telecom stocks
in Europe, avoiding the stocks as
dividends look to fall and econo-
mists begin to project a long poten-
tial European recession.
But what those investors ignore
is the fact that Telefonica has more
exposure to Latin America than to
Spain. Although not quite half of
its sales come from Latin America,
its operations there are more profit-
able, and thus it generates more
than 60 percent of the companys
operating income.
Of course, Latin America has had
its own troubles. But with Brazil
hosting the World Cup in 2014 and
the Olympics in 2016, it will likely
want to bulk up its telecom system
to put on a good face for visitors.
And although Telefonica faces
plenty of competition, the market
is large enough to give everyone a
chance to profit.
Telefonica recently yielded more
than 10 percent, but expects to cut
its dividend in 2012 and 2013. It
may be a high-risk, high-potential-
reward way to bet on Europe turn-
ing out better than many fear.

Its a Bad Thing
My dumbest investment was in
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
I like Martha Stewart, have the
highest admiration for her business
abilities and still enjoy her shows.
However, I bought the stock for
emotional reasons and only recently
sold it, losing money. M.C.H.,

The Fool Responds: Your expe-
rience reminds us all that its impor-
tant to separate what we might feel
about a stock from what our rational
brains think about it. Its not enough
for a company to have a product you
love. Lots of people have to love it,
and the company needs to be mak-
ing money, enjoying competitive
advantages and growing. Its stock
also needs to be undervalued, so that
its more likely to rise than fall.
Martha Stewart Livings stock has
lost money for investors, on aver-
age, over the past decade. Its current
detractors point to several years of
losses and shrinking revenue. Bulls
are hopeful about partnerships with
JC Penney and Home Depot and
possible revenue from the com-
panys presence on Pinterest.com,
among other things. The company
may perform well from this point
on, but its risky.

A Puzzle Solved
Q
How can a companys earn-
ings per share rise when its
earnings dont grow? S.S.,
Portland, Maine
A
It happens when the share
count shrinks. Imagine that
Bright Idea Light Bulbs (ticker:
UREKA) has 10 million shares
outstanding and earns $50 mil-
lion in a quarter. Its earnings per
share (EPS) is $5. If it buys back a
million shares and then earns $50
million again in the next quarter,
its EPS has suddenly risen to $5.56
(50 million divided by 9 million
equals 5.56).
Share buybacks can be good,
making remaining shares worth
more as long as they dont
happen when the stock price is
overvalued.
***
Q
Can you have too many shares
of one stock in your portfolio?
C.F., Manteo, N.C.
A
Think in terms of total
value, not number of shares.
You might have 1,000 shares of
one stock, worth a total of $3,000,
and 100 shares of another stock,
worth $7,000. Focus on the per-
centage of your portfolio that each
stock represents.
Dont let any stocks percentage
get too high, either. If one holding
represents 25 percent of your entire
portfolio, for example, thats
very risky. If the stock plunges,
your portfolio will take a
big hit. If one holding grows
into too big a chunk of your
portfolio, consider selling
some shares.
If you hold too many stocks,
though, and your biggest holding
represents just 2 percent of your
portfolio, thats not ideal, either.
If that stock doubles or triples, its
overall effect will be small.
For most people, roughly 10
to 20 stocks is a good number
of holdings to aim for. You want
some diversification, but you
dont want more companies than
you can follow.

Avoid These 401(k)
Mistakes
With fewer companies than ever
offering pensions, 401(k)s are a crit-
ical retirement tool. Make the most
of them by avoiding these mistakes:
(1) Failing to grab your maxi-
mum employer match. Thats free
money, providing an immediate,
risk-free return. Try to top that, too.
Many of us should sock away much
more than 10 percent of our income
for retirement.
(2) Borrowing from your
401(k) for something other than
an emergency. Dont put your
future in jeopardy to remodel your
kitchen. Dont cash out after a job
change, either. Leave your money
in your former employers plan,
or roll the balance into your new
employers plan or an IRA.
(3) Trying to time the market.
Dont jump from one investment
to another, chasing hot sectors.
Have conviction in a strategy and
stick with it.
(4) Being too conservative or
aggressive. If you have 10 or more

And a little child shall
lead them.
Isaiah11:6
JONATHANis a sym-
bol of what is wrong in
American politics.
That is a not a char-
acter assessment. To whatever degree
one can judge such things froma dis-
tance, he seems a decent kid smart,
likable, nerdy, a17-year-old Georgia boy
bound for NewYork University in the
fall.
But in 2009, just before he turned14,
Krohn gave a short speech at CPAC
the Conservative Political Action Confer-
ence video of which went viral and
made hima star. Preternaturally poised
for an adolescent or for anybody,
come to think of it he outlined his
four principles of conservatism. Con-
servatives fell in love. Someone in the
audience actually ululated with joy. He
was interviewed on Fox News. Newt
Gingrich blurbed his self-published
book.
Three years later, conservatives hate
him. Douche and vacuous freak are
among the more printable things they
are calling himin online forums.
Krohns sin? He changed his mind. He
nowembraces marriage equality and
health care reform, among other aposta-
sies of conservatism. The news broke a
fewdays ago in an interviewwith Poli-
tico. Conservatism, it seems, was just a
phase he was going through. Not that
Krohn nowconsiders himself a liberal.
No, he rejects the very idea that we must
be defined by political ideology.
Good for him.
Here is a newsflash for those bemoan-
ing Krohns defection: kids change, they
try on different identities. Conservatism
was simply Krohns version of Goth
attire or Bieber fever. Given that he is
still a kid, he might have some entirely
newpassion six months fromnow.
The fact that so many on the political
right had such faith in the utterances of a
child, the fact that they feel so profound-
ly betrayed now, suggests the degree to
which our perception of, and relation-
ship to, political ideology has changed in
the years since Ronald Reagan rode off
into the sunset. Back then, ideology was
something that guided you. Now, it is
something that defines you, a thing you
are (like your race or religion), as op-
posed to a thing you merely support.
It is there in the sweeping statements
of conservatives native moral, intellec-
tual and even physical superiority (Rush
Limbaugh believes conservative women
are better looking than others). There in
the brutish dismissal of competing
views (Liberalismis a mental disorder
writes Michael Savage). There in the
brazen willingness to alter history that
contradicts their claimto supremacy
(conservatives started the Civil Rights
Movement, says Glenn Beck).
To reject conservatism, then, is not
simply to change your mind, exercising
your God-given right to reconsider or
dissent. No, it is to commit heresy, blas-
phemy and apostasy, to abandon the one
truth faith, to become a sellout, an Uncle
Tom, an Oreo. The right has come to
embrace a kind of ideological McCarthy-
ismstultifying of and antithetical to
independent thought and intellectual
rigor.
Small wonder a steady trickle of true
believers has come to question and even
abandon true belief. As in a conservative
federal judge, appointed by Reagan, who
recently called the conservative GOP
goofy and a crowd of lunatics.
The plain truth is that neither liber-
alismnor conservatismowns a monopo-
ly on good ideas or bad ones. Smarter
people in a healthier nation would real-
ize this and do as Krohn has done, climb
out of the political boxes, give them-
selves permission to embrace an idea
based not on ideology, but on whether it
is right and whether it will work.
In thinking otherwise, in believing
there was something inherently holy or
true about conservatism, Krohn was just
going through an adolescent phase.
Apparently hes grown out of it.
Thats more than some of us can say.

WERE STILL a few
weeks from summers
dog days and the
conventions, and
already feral rabidity
has set in. Add to the
long list of psycho-
political syndromes
the Romney Derangement Syndrome.
There is simply no other way to ex-
plain what has transpired in the few
days since Mitt Romneys speech to the
NAACP. If you read a headline or
watched the news, most likely youre
aware that Romney was booed for say-
ing he would repeal Obamacare. What
you might not know is that Romney
also left the stage to a standing ovation.
Suppose you were an editor, which
headline would you prefer:
NAACP boos Romney during speech
about Obamacare
NAACP convention gives Romney a
standing O
Hmmmmm.
In the aftermath, conservative talk
shows and bloggers have made haste to
clarify the event, but not before several
on the other side of the aisle had made
some stupendously strange remarks.
It is true that Romney was booed at
the mention of Obamacare and his
intention to repeal the Affordable Care
Act as one of several programs that he
says are too costly in these dear eco-
nomic times. Was Romney surprised at
the response? Of course not. The vast
majority of African-Americans support
the nations first African-American
president and most are favorably in-
clined toward his signature health care
act.
While grudgingly giving Romney
credit for showing up, commentators
and politicos on the left have joined the
birthers in being just plain weird. The
narrative du jour is that Romney pur-
posely used the term Obamacare to
ensure that he was booed in order to ...
incite his racist white base.
Exacto-rama, Robin! How could I
have missed this brilliant maneuver!?
Among those advancing this, ahem,
theory is Nancy Pelosi, who said it
was a calculated move. MSNBCs
Lawrence ODonnell said Romney was
making a play for white racists. Over at
The Daily Beast, Michael Tomasky
called Romney a race-mongering pyro-
maniac, and wrote:
You dont go into the NAACP and
use the word Obamacare and think
that youre not going to hear some
boos. Its a heavily loaded word, and
Romney and his people know very well
that liberals and the presidents support-
ers consider it an insult. ... Romney and
team obviously concluded that a little
shower of boos was perfectly fine be-
cause the story Romney booed at
NAACP would jazz up their (very
white) base.
Yes, I see. Thats a very astute analy-
sis, Mr. Tomasky. Now just keep your
eyes closed and try to relax. When I
snap my fingers, youll wake up and
remember nothing. Youll just feel calm
and optimistic about the future.
The notion that Team Romney want-
ed to jazz up all those very white
racists requires a level of delusion that
one usually associates with the fringies.
Does anyone really imagine that Rom-
ney is worried about the racist vote?
While were hearing voices, lets eaves-
drop on a Very Secret Meeting:
Mitt, you know, theres one demo-
graphic were worried about.
Whats that, Stu?
Well, sir, the Aryan Nation. Their
votes? Hanging from the precipice, sir.
We have to reel them in.
Holy moly, Stu, but how?
I have a plan. When you speak to the
NAACP next week, were gonna have
you say Obamacare. Youll get booed,
of course, but no Aryan will vote for
Barack Obama, I can promise you that,
sir.
Jumpin Jehosaphat, Stu, thats sheer
genius! But wont the liberal media
figure it out? Wont they see our plan?
With all due respect, sir, dont be
ridiculous.

are being stroked. Wanna-bes are auditioning. And, chances are, lies
are being told.
Somewhere, amidall of theshenanigans, RepublicanMitt Romneyis
considering his choices for a running mate, one of the most significant decisions
of his presidential campaign.
The secrecy that shrouds the
selection of a modern presiden-
tial running mate has given rise
to political sideshows that play
out inpublic while the more seri-
ous search operation takes place
at a largely subterranean level.
Names of new Romney short-
listers emerge; others fall by the
wayside.
Anykindof proximitytoRom-
neyor his opponent gener-
ates questions about GOP veep
ambitions.
Why did Sen. Kelly Ayotte of
New Hampshire walk in a July
Fourth parade with Romney? Why did Gov. Bob-
by Jindal of Louisiana and former Gov. TimPaw-
lentyof MinnesotaturnupinOhioandPennsylva-
nia during President Barack Obamas Midwest
bustrip? WhydidSen. RobPortmanof Ohiowrite
a Cleveland newspaper column criticizing the
presidents policies just as Obama headed for the
state?
Comments by Romney andhis teamare parsed
for deeper meaning.
What to make of Ann Romneys remark this
past week that women are under consideration?
What about Romneys earlier comment that out-
spoken New Jersey Gov. Chris
Christie really is something?
Why did Romney pull back the
veil last month to announce that
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida was
being thoroughly vetted for
vice president after reports tothe
contrary emerged?
Consultant Bob Shrum, whos
worked on numerous Democrat-
ic presidential campaigns, says a
closely held search operation is a
goodthingbecause it protects the
people who open up their lives to
the campaign to be thoroughly
checked out as potential running
mates.
But the lack of public information creates an
opening for all sorts of political gamesmanship,
including self-promotion by short-listers who
arent on the short list at all and denials by actual
short-listers who feign nonchalance.
That makes it hardfor voters toknowwhats re-
al and whats simply for show. Which is just fine
with Romney.
Take all the recent attention on Portman, busy
raising his own profile. He invited reporters to an
George H.W. Bush surprised everyone with an announce-
ment at the GOP convention in 1988 that he had select-
ed Sen. Dan Quayle.
When George W. Bush settled on Dick Cheney in 2000
more than a week before his running mate was to be an-
nounced, aides worried the secret might not hold.

off-the-record dinner during the
primaries, chatted them up on
the press bus during a Romney
tour of Ohio, andheldaround-ta-
blewithnational mediaSaturday
in New Hampshire, where he
headlined a fundraiser for the
state GOP. He said he was in the
state mostly on a college tour
with his daughter, but also ex-
pectedtospeakat someeventsin
Boston on Monday to benefit
Romneys campaign.
Whos really floating his name
as a veep contender?
Is that a Romney float or is
that a Portman float or is that a
friends-of-Portman float? asks
Paul Light, a professor of govern-
ment at New York University.
You just dont know.
Theres an easy remedy availa-
ble to wanna-be contenders
whove beenleft off the short list,
says Light. All it takes is a well-
placed whisper froma friend of a
friend to land on the veep list.
Instead of saying, I couldve
been a contender, you can say, I
am a contender even if youre
not, says Shrum.
No ones owning up, but Rep.
Eric Cantor, R-Va., managed to
get mentioned as a veep conten-
der in 2008 although the notion
that he was under consideration
was laughable to GOP nominee
John McCains campaign.
Shrum, whoworkedonMassa-
chusetts Sen. John Kerrys 2004
campaign, when John Edwards
was the running mate, says then-
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richard-
son very much wanted to be
seen as being vetted in 2004, un-
til he pulled his own name out of
contention. Shrums theory is
that Richardson never wanted to
be chosen, but wanted to make a
name for himself in preparation
for his own 2008 run for presi-
dent.
Joel Goldstein, an expert on
the vice presidency at Saint
Louis University School of Law,
said presidential candidates may
try to flatter a politician or ap-
peaseavotingblocbylettingit be
known that a certain person is
under consideration when that
person doesnt have a chance.
Some call that an ego vet.
What really matters, says
Goldstein, iswhosbeenaskedby
the campaign to submit docu-
ments and answer question-
naires as part of a thorough vet-
ting process.
Steve Schmidt, a senior strate-
gist to McCains 2008 presiden-
tial run, saidcampaignsarevery
careful to have a very inclusive
list of people as potential run-
ning mates to avoid giving of-
fense.
Last month, when word sur-
faced that Rubio wasnt being
vetted, it couldhave createdcon-
siderable grief for Romney in
Florida and with Hispanics.
Romney quickly came out and
said that Rubio was being thor-
oughly vetted.
More often, though, Romney
clams up when asked about his
search efforts.
Thats a far cry from the vice
presidential selection process of
earlierdecades, whencandidates
were paraded before cameras
and, ultimately, very publicly
ruled out, causing considerable
embarrassment. Walter Mon-
dale, the Democratic nominee in
1984, wouldflypotential running
mates to Minnesota for inter-
views andholdjoint news confer-
ences.
More recently, candidates
have gone to great lengths to
keep their deliberations secret
until theyre ready to announce a
choice.
When George W. Bush settled
on Dick Cheney in 2000 more
than a week before his running
mate was tobe announced, aides
worried the secret might not
hold. Campaign architect Karl
Roves solution: lie.
Rovetoldacampaignaidewho
was known to leak information
to reporters: Dont tell anybody
but its going to be Danforth.
That evening, three networks
reported that former Sen. John
Danforth of Missouri had
emerged as a top candidate for
the GOP ticket.
Wed gotten what we needed:
a little breathing room for Che-
neys announcement, Rove
wrote in his memoir.
Toomuchsecrecy, though, can
prove problematic, particularly
whenavicepresidential choiceis
not well known.
George H.W. Bushs surprise
announcement at the GOP con-
vention in 1988 that he had se-
lected Sen. Dan Quayle of Indi-
ana quickly overshadowed Bush
himself whenquestions surfaced
about Quayles service in the Na-
tional Guard during Vietnam.
Within hours, it was attract-
ing all the ink and TV time we
had counted on for Georges offi-
cial rollout as nominee, James
Baker, Bushs campaign chair-
man, wrote in his memoir.
Light saidleakingnames of se-
rious contenders gives cam-
paigns an opportunity to see
what unsavory issues might be
dredged up by interest groups
and the press, and to find out
whether the questions will peter
out or mushroom. He likens it to
entering a horse in lower-profile
races beforetheKentuckyDerby.
You want to see how your
horse does under real conditions
against strong competitors,
Light said.
Romneypromises toreveal his
decision on a running mate be-
fore the GOP convention in late
August but wont share much
more.
When his wife was asked by
CBS last week if she had a favor-
ite candidate, she said: I like to
thinkthat I haveafewthat I really
like a lot.
Romney himself would add
just three words: What she

palatable to a crowd from which no
one expected more than basic civil-
ity? They would have said he was a
deceiver, a shape-shifter, a manip-
ulator and a dishonest broker.
As for the term Obamacare, this
is widely used, including by colum-
nists who are strictly limited by
word count. Ill never use four un-
wieldy words that most people
dont recognize, such as The Affor-
dable Care Act, for one word that
everybody understands: Obama-
care.
It has a ring to it that means
nothing beyond what it is short,
memorable and to the point, sort of
like Romneycare, which Demo-
crats use frequently. What sort of
dogs are they whistling to, one
wonders? Trying to stoke the rage
of all those very black or very
Latino Mormon haters?
Ridiculous.

Editorial
I want to look at this very
methodically, very carefully and
very analytically to ensure that
everyones being treated fairly.
Bill Barrett
The Wilkes-Barre councilman last week called for an administrative
review of the citys contract with LAG Towing Inc. based on a growing
number of complaints about the companys vehicle-towing practices
and fees.
LUZERNE COUNTY has
completed its first six
months of home rule govern-
ment after operating under a
commissioner form of gov-
ernment since 1794.
With time a critical factor,
the elected county council immediately under-
took the responsibility of implementing key
provisions and structures under the home rule
charter. From formulating new laws, institut-
ing new boards and commissions, and selec-
ting a county manager, the charter set forth an
extensive list of items that needed to be ad-
dressed within the first six months. However,
the work of new government continues to
grow, and the first two years of home rule
government will be critical to its ultimate
success.
With the passage of home rule, a new sys-
tem of government was ushered in. Born out
of a culture of corruption and failed govern-
ment policies, and inheriting a debt antici-
pated to reach $415 million before its paid off
in 2027, home rule has faced daunting chal-
lenges from its inception. However, home rule
doesnt only enact the council-manager form
of government; it provides an opportunity to
give rise to a new government culture in
which the charter can flourish. It provides
hope for the future through the establishment
of good procedures for government oper-
ations.
While many people will judge home rule by
each decision made within the first year, it is
just as important to create an open and effec-
tive atmosphere in which good decisions can
be incubated for years to come. The charter
itself does not create financial savings, but
instead provides the county with several op-
tions to find savings and institute better gov-
ernmental practices. Creating a positive cul-
ture around the new government will be just
as important in ensuring the new govern-
ments success. The passage of the charter
was just a beginning, and the hard work of
standing up a government that existed only
on paper a short six months ago will continue
for years to come.
The charter aims to promote professional-
ism in county government by attempting to
minimize the effects of politics. In the first six
months of home rule, Manager Robert Law-
ton and the first county council have promot-
ed that cause by not giving thought to the
politics of the argument, but instead putting
forth a government in which the art of persua-
sion will depend only on the marshaling of
facts, clarity, conviction and the truth of the
matter asserted. Mr. Lawton is a dedicated
man ushering in a new sense of fiscal integri-
ty. However, as this is a new government born
out of an ill past, there are many who scruti-
nize home rule with a zealous eye. While such
zealousness at times will miss the mark and
attempt to shade an unfavorable color over
the tireless efforts of some public servants,
this new wave of hyper-vigilance is not some-
thing unwelcome, but instead a necessity that
should always have existed.
At a meeting several months ago, an audi-
ence member told me to act stricter with
county residents when they spoke at meetings
so they realize whos now in charge. However,
unbeknownst to that person, the council was
demonstrating its understanding of whos
really been in charge all along its the citi-
zens of this county who are in charge, and
who always will be in charge, and their
thoughts must always be heard. Make no
mistake, the work is laborious and time-con-
suming.
However, a government cannot do anything
of significance without the support of its
citizens; with support, Luzerne County can
achieve a governmental success that its citi-
zens have long deserved, yet not realized.
About 44 percent of voters were against the
charter in November 2010, and some people
still hope for its failure. However, none of that
matters, as we will all rise or fall together.
As we progress further, please always re-
member that, in the end, home rule is a sys-
tem of laws and practices chosen by the citi-
zens. The elected officials, county manager
and county personnel work in furtherance of
that chosen system.
The fate of home rule will never rest on the
shoulders of one person, but instead constant-
ly will need smart and intelligent citizens to
step up, dedicate themselves to helping in this
great undertaking and move the yardsticks of
progress a few inches farther. Years from now,
most people will barely remember the names
of council members and other county person-
nel; however, what people will never forget is
whether home rule moved Luzerne County
forward. And that is the ultimate goal to
which we all are committed. Head up, ego
down, and keep pushing forward!
First two years of home rule will be basis for success
James L. Bobeck, an attorney and Kingston
resident, has served as chairman of the Luzerne
County Council since the newly formed group

COMMENTARY
J A M E S L . B O B E C K
IF I were king of the world,
I would insist on a morato-
rium for Hollywood mar-
riages: no talking about
them until their 10th anni-
versary. No photos. No
magazine covers. No gossip
page items. No selling the video rights.
Actors, rock stars, famous celebrities,
reality TV show participants all would be
forced to wed quietly and privately with no
media attention whatsoever.
In other words, like most peoples mar-
riages.
You know what?
Few would bother.
In Hollywood, if you remove the atten-
tion, you remove much of the intention.
From the days when movie studios conve-
niently arranged actors romances, the sin-
cerity of the Hollywood couple has been
largely a sham.
Like publicity, in Hollywood, theres no
such thing as a bad love affair as long as it
gets coverage. What baffles me is how peo-
ple keep falling for it. Come on. How many
Charlie Sheens do you need?
This is why I would issue my moratori-
um. No talk shows. No jumping on Oprahs
couch. No stories about canoodling at the
Cannes film festival. No tweets or Facebook
posts. No People magazine covers.
Think of all the paper we would save!
All of this comes to mind in the wake of
recent news that Tom Cruise and Katie
Holmes are divorcing. This is the same Tom
Cruise who jumped on Oprahs furniture
and insisted loudly, Im in love! while the
crowd roared as if he were throwing them
mortgage payments.
This is the same Katie Holmes who,
around the same time, gushed through a W
magazine interview: Ive found the man of
my dreams and It just felt like Id known
him forever and Tom and I will always be
in our honeymoon phase.
For all that noise, youd have thought
theyd be in love for eternity. Instead, their
marriage lasted five years. True, thats con-
siderably longer than Kim Kardashian and
Kris Humphries (72 days), Dennis Rodman
and Carmen Electra (nine days) or Britney
Spears and Jason Alexander (three days)
but it still falls short of a 10-year minimum.
Which means, in my wonderful make-
believe world, we never would have heard
about them. Never would have endured the
breathless gushing over their TomKat love,
never would have wasted verbal energy over
his sexuality, or whether their daughter was
truly his, or whether she liked Scientology.
They would still be four years away from a
single news story.
Oh, the bliss.
This is not to say some folks in Holly-
wood dont have true love or strong mar-
riages. They do. Which is why, after 10
years, we could bring them into the light.
Throw a party. Celebrate the longevity.
Until then, blackout. All three of Jennifer
Lopezs marriages? Never heard of them.
Both of Madonnas? No mention. Brad Pitt
and Jennifer Aniston? Sorry. Fell five years
short.
Pamela Andersons three trips to the
altar? Never heard a peep. Same for Drew
Barrymores. Only one of Elizabeth Taylors
eight marriages would make the cut, and
only one of Zsa Zsa Gabors nine.
A world where we didnt report on celeb-
rity marriage and divorce would not only be
quieter, it might be healthier. Watching the
way a new Hollywood love affair is wor-
shiped by our infatuated media can make
regular folks wonder why they dont feel
that way about their partner, who somehow
lacks the youth, physique or cheekbones of
the person they see on TV.
Likewise, when the split-up occurs so
quickly and so often with gushing sympathy
it might make people question why they
should bother sticking it out in their own
relationships. Heck, we might wonder, if
theres someone always out there for Woody
Allen, isnt there someone for me, too?
Seems to me, if were going to turn the
bright lights on anything, it ought to be the
successes. Which is why I offer my fantasy.
Ten years. Minimum.
Until then, no attention.
And if celebrities are thinking, Gee, that
sounds like a long, tough challenge, con-
gratulations. Youve just had your first in-
sight into what real marriage not the kind
that lasts as long as a flashbulb is all
about.
Hollywood pairs wed for 10 years? That would be news

COMMENTARY
M I T C H A L B O M

HE SLAYINGS OF
three young people
inside a Plymouth
apartment last week-
end spurred worried borough
residents toshowupat a coun-
cil meeting, demanding
changes in a community de-
scribed by some as overrun by
drug dealers.
Atopthe residents list of de-
sires: added police protection.
Most didnt even squirm, ini-
tially, at the thought of paying
higher taxes to put more offi-
cers on the street.
Expecting to write a check
to solve this safety problem,
however, is akin to trying to
shed 50 or so pounds of fat
with a pill. It aint that easy.
You have to exert some effort
and stick with it.
The more realistic re-
sponse, and one championed
by some of the council meet-
ing attendees, is to collaborate
on community-enhancing ef-
forts, such as the startup of a
crime watch program. Con-
cerned neighbors looking out
for one another, and relaying
their observations to the po-
lice, can result in arrests and
signal to would-be trouble-
makers that they should go
elsewhere.
Moreover, an active crime
watch program helps partici-
pants to connect with like-
minded neighbors, and to
sense the power and possibil-
ities of collective action.
You are not alone. Consult
with crime watch proponents
at theLuzerneCountyDistrict
Attorneys Office or in nearby
communities, such as Wilkes-
Barre, where a dedicated
corps of members maintain an
active Crime Watch Coalition.
(Several of the areas anti-
crime groups will hold events
for National Night Out on
Aug. 7.)
Explore strategies for pre-
ventingyouthviolence. Plenty
of expertise is available online
from government and non-
profit agencies. Likewise, tap
into the Wyoming Valleys ex-
isting resources. Can you take
lessons, for instance, from the
people who several years ago
started the Greater Nanticoke
Area Drug Task Force? Do the
issues facing your community
dovetail with those across the
Susquehanna River, where
concerned Wilkes-Barre resi-
dents recently coalesced
around a grassroots move-
ment called Building Bridges?
Plymouth, like most places
in our region, can probably do
the most good by not focusing
exclusively on rounding up
bad guys but by reaching out
and supporting youths before
theymake badlife choices. For
that, residents could call on
and team with professionals
at organizations such as the
Family Service Association of
Wyoming Valley, Big Brothers
Big Sisters of the Bridge, pro-
ven drug-and-alcohol rehabil-
itation programs and the pub-
lic school district.
More cops might sound
like a quick fix to Plymouths
problem. But to truly mini-
mize the odds of having
bloody crime scenes in the
borough, consider more citi-
zen involvement.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
A
NEW REPORT con-
firms that legendary
football coach Joe
Paterno and his pro-
gram abused their power at
Penn State University, putting
pride in an institution over
protection of innocent chil-
dren. As a result, a former as-
sistant Jerry Sandusky was
allowed to sexually abuse chil-
dren for years.
Paterno controlled the ath-
letic director, and the athletic
director dictated to the univer-
sitys top administrators. The
trustees failed to set the bal-
anceright. Nobodystoodupto
Paterno, and the result was a
disaster.
Louis J. Freeh, the former
federal judge and FBI director
who led the latest investiga-
tion, summed up the sordid
conclusions Thursday: The
most powerful men at Penn
State failed to take any steps
for 14 years to protect the chil-
dren who Sandusky victi-
mized.
This sad episode provides a
cautionary tale for university
presidents and athletic direc-
tors across the country. Much-
vauntedathletics, ledbyexces-
sively paid football and basket-
ball coaches, must be tem-
pered by responsible leader-
ship. As the cover-up of
Sanduskys actions at Penn
State illustrated and as the
cover-ups by powerful Cathol-
ic officials of their own sexual
abuse scandal have shownin-
stitutions suffer lasting dam-
age when they dont vigilantly
protect innocent children.

Fracking fraught
with dangers
A
mong all the other things
to not worry about con-
cerning high-volume,
hydraulic fracturing (fracking)
for natural gas, we can now
add earthquakes.
This is not to say that the
fracking/earthquake connec-
tion is a recent development.
As long ago as 1990, it was
suspected that injection wells
in Colorado, where enormous
quantities of toxic frack waste
fluid are pumped five miles
underground, were related to
earthquakes. More recently in
Arkansas, four injection wells
have been shut down after as
many as 15 quakes per day
occurred in the region where
the wells were located.
One explanation for this
seismic activity relates to the
changes in pressure intro-
duced at deep levels. That
slick water toxic soup is
forced into the ground using
extremely high pressure.
The position of the re-
searchers is that these man-
made quakes pose no threat to
anyone, because the magni-
tudes are low on the Richter
scale. Although one such
quake in Arkansas registered a
notable 4.7, many of the
quakes have not been strong
enough to disrupt anything on
the surface.
But what about the obvious
consideration that these
quakes are occurring in the
same regions where the mas-
sive amount of fluid is buried?
Maybe five miles is not deep
enough to prevent the poison
from finding its way up. The
injection well bores have ce-
ment casings to help prevent
contamination at depths
above the injection region. But
cement does not last forever,
and if the ground surrounding
it is shifting, then this sounds
to me like a recipe for disaster.
According to the article
Dont worry much about
quakes and fracking, by AP
science writer Seth Boren-
stein, a National Research
Council report concludes that
hydraulic fracturing does not
pose a high risk for triggering
earthquakes large enough to
feel.
Whether you can feel them
or not, this is just another
example of how the activities
of the gas-extracting industry
are fraught with danger. The
study does not address the
structural resistance of the
pipe casings to these quakes.
And if you believe the spin of
the gas industry, which bom-
bards us nightly on the televi-
sion during the news hour,
these casings assure the safety
of our groundwater supply.
We are one nation, and what
affects one state affects all. We
cannot turn our backs on the
problems of Arkansas or Col-
orado just because we do not
live there.
We need to constantly ques-
tion the information put forth
by the fracking industry. Wa-
ter is arguably more important
than cheap conventional ener-
gy.

Stop catering to
public-sector unions
I
f public-sector union give-
aways pave the way to pros-
perity, then logically Greece
should be the most prosper-
ous nation on earth.
Even socialist pro-labor icon
Franklin Roosevelt warned of
the scourge upon the land the
public-sector union would
become. He stated that a
strike by public servants
against the taxpayer would be
unconscionable.
Landslide victories for pub-
lic-sector pension reform in
liberal California bastions of
San Jose and San Diego are
the writing on the wall. The
taxpayer there is finally learn-
ing that it could mean more
surfboards and suntan lotion.
Locally, will people finally
learn that a concerted effort
against the public-sector
unions could result in a lot
more nights out at the bowl-
ing alley, or even an extra
mortgage payment or two that
could save the homestead
from foreclosure? When it
comes to political change, this
area is light-years behind the
times.
Please note I make a dis-
tinction between public- and
private-sector unions. Without
private-sector unions we all
still could be working for slave
wages 12 hours a day, seven
days a week. There are two
distinct sides to the bargain-
ing table working for the bet-
terment of each party in pri-
vate-sector negotiations. De-
struction of the company
means that both sides lose.
Contrast that to public-sector
negotiations in which unions
often are represented on both
sides of the table. Representa-
tives for management (the
taxpayer) have little or no skin
in the game. The taxpayer is
perceived to be apathetic with
bottomless pockets worthy of
a fleecing. Cases that go to
arbitration often have union-
biased arbitrators. No wonder
that average pay and benefits
for public servants often far
exceed that of the private
sector paying for it all.
When Gov. Scott Walker
recently survived his recall
vote in Wisconsin he received
a large percentage of the
union vote. Even their breth-
ren in the private-sector
unions realize that giveaways
to the public sector affect
their bottom lines at home.
Austerity and a Greek trage-
dy are likely to play out in
America at some point due to
the direction in which we are
headed. It behooves the poli-
tician and taxpayer alike to
rein in and/or abolish the
public-sector union.
Chicago mayor Rahm Ema-
nuel realizes this and has
begun a fight with the teach-
ers union to rein in the exorbi-
tant pay and benefits of teach-
ers in a failed system.
The same needs to be done
here. Research and oust local
elected officials who accept
donations from or cater to the
public-sector unions. Reject
those politicians who pay only
lip service to property tax
reform and put up roadblocks
to putting competition back in
education.
With the help of public-
sector unions, the servants
have become the masters and
the masters have become the
slaves.

Gov. Corbett plays
royal Shell game
A
s a candidate for governor,
Tom Corbett promised to
work to reduce the burden
of taxation. And so, I guess, he
is keeping his word by sup-
porting a proposal to allow the
foreign-based corporate giant
Royal Dutch Shell to reap the
economic benefits of the Mar-
cellus exploitation without
having to pay its fair share of
tax on earnings from the nat-
ural gas processing plant that
it hopes to build in Pennsylva-
nia.
On some fronts, Corbett is
working to eliminate state
spending. For example, the
budget of the state Depart-
ment of Environmental Pro-
tection already has been cut,
and the governor is pushing
for further cuts. The message
to the gas drilling, processing
and transport businesses
seemingly is this: Not only
will we exempt you from pay-
ing your fair share of taxes,
well also stay out of your way
while you do whatever is
deemed necessary to get the
gas.
Royal Dutch Shell will gain
about $72 million over each of
the next 25 years, whereas the
average middle-class Penn-
sylvania taxpayer might end
up with an annual tax reduc-
tion in the neighborhood of
$50. Royal Dutch Shell already
stands to receive up to 15
years of tax cuts and exemp-
tions under a bill Corbett
signed earlier this year to
designate the cracker-plant
site as an expanded Keystone
Opportunity Zone.
Before construction of the
cracker plant can even begin,
the still-operating zinc smelter
site needs to be cleaned. Its
owner, Horsehead, has racked
up numerous federal and state
environmental violations, and
some experts suggest cleanup
costs could reach into the tens
of millions. It originally was
reported that taxpayers of
Pennsylvania would be paying
for the cleanup, although now
Corbett is backing off on this.
So it appears there will be no
environmental remediation
whatsoever, given that our
governor is reluctant to im-
pose upon the mineral extrac-
tion industry.
How is Pennsylvania going
to pay for cleanup, tax credits,
tax cuts and exemptions for
this one extra-special corpora-
tion: Royal Dutch Shell? Look-
ing at Corbetts budget propos-
al, he will be doing it through
cuts to state-funded education
initiatives and needed social
services.
Hasnt the natural gas indus-
try received enough special
considerations through the
passage of Act 13 and with
$1.8 billion per year in sub-
sidies from Pennsylvania tax
dollars?
At a recent town meeting,
representatives from one nat-
ural gas corporation were
asked why they were at the
meeting. The response was, so
we can educate you, get on
with our job and leave. Key
point: Get on with our job and
leave. The natural gas indus-
try, as a whole, has no vested
interest in Pennsylvania com-
munities. Its officers do not
live here; they do not raise
their families here. They ex-
ploit what they are allowed to
exploit, then leave.
The objectively estimated
Marcellus reserves would
meet U.S. gas demand for
about six years, using 2010
consumption data, according
to the U.S. Energy Depart-
ment. This is quite a bit less
than the 17 years previously
projected by gas-friendly esti-
mates.
If this new prediction is
correct, in approximately six
years the natural gas industry
will pack up its carpetbags
and leave. The natural gas
industry will leave the finan-
cial responsibility of cleanup
and generations of health
costs to the people of Penn-
sylvania.

BALANCE
is the watch-
word in the
perennial
debate on
whether
women can
have it all.
Lets have more women in
power, the argument goes,
and they can remake society
in a way that lets both wom-
en and men have more flex-
ible lives incorporating work
and family.
But not so fast. Balance
is not for everyone, and ex-
pecting women in particular
to be its champions is just
another form of sexism.
There is a common notion
that the exorbitant career
investment expected as the
price of success is
merely an artificial
consequence of
patriarchy. In a
more egalitarian
world, were told,
you would have
enough time to be a
chief executive,
Nobel Prize-winning
scientist or top-level
policymaker, and
still attend your
childrens soccer games.
True, in some workplaces,
people who dont put in long
hours are unfairly penalized
even if they are as productive
as their more work-focused
colleagues. Likewise, women
(and, even more so, men)
who spend a year or two as
full-time parents might be
penalized simply for appear-
ing to be insufficiently ca-
reer-oriented.
But lets face it: some types
of work really do require
intense commitment. In
modern science, taking off
even a couple of years can
easily cause you to fall be-
hind the most current re-
search. In a competitive busi-
ness environment, spotting
and seizing an opportunity at
the right moment can make
all the difference. A high-
level career in foreign policy
requires being on hand to
respond to a crisis abroad
and sometimes (gasp!) to
give it a higher priority than
a crisis at home.
This isnt to say that the
only way to have a career is
to be a workaholic. Anne
Marie Slaughter, who
brought all this to a head
recently with an essay in the
Atlantic Monthly, has had a
productive work life as an
academic and writer even
after leaving her State De-
partment job, in part for
more family time. For many
women and men alike, low-
pressure jobs are not only
more family-friendly but
more fulfilling.
But is that the only way? In
many work/life discussions,
there is an implicit assump-
tion that strong commitment
to work is practically self-
imposed slavery or, at
least, a poor choice one is
likely to regret. (Last years
Margaret Thatcher biopic
The Iron Lady suggests,
evidence-free, that Britains
former prime minister has
been haunted by such regrets
in old age.) After former
General Electric
CEO Jack Welch
raised hackles at a
meeting of female
executives by stat-
ing that women
need to over-deliv-
er and forget bal-
ance if they want
top jobs, some
commentators took
him to task for
ignoring the real
problem: mens willingness
to rob themselves of a full
life in pursuit of top jobs.
Yet there are people, of
both sexes, for whom work
vs. life is a false choice be-
cause work is their life and
they find such a life meaning-
ful.
Can the workplace be res-
tructured to make it easier to
combine work and family?
Yes, and we have made major
strides in that direction. But
someone who gives nearly all
of his or her time and energy
to work will, all else being
equal, achieve more at work
than someone who gives
much less. The only way to
prevent such unfair compe-
tition would be to keep
workaholics from working
as much as they want.
Perhaps the answer is not
more balance for everyone,
but more respect for diversi-
ty. Heres a radical thought:
Women, like men, should be
able to leave most hands-on
child care to a spouse (or a
grandparent, or even a nan-
ny) without being stigma-
tized or guilt-tripped.
Of course thats not what
all women want but for
some, such arrangements can
look an awful lot like having
it all.
Hey, ladies: Its OK
to be a workaholic

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Aimee Dilger
and words by Mark E. Jones
IT IS more
than conde-
scending for
Mitt Romney
to avoid any
talk about the
growing in-
come inequal-
ity in America by simply call-
ing it class warfare or envy.
The facts clearly show a
massive shift of wealth from
the middle class to a few over
the past three decades. The
numbers are not lying.
So why is the Mittster so
defensive? Why does he (doth)
protest too much about the
issue of inequality?
Romney should relax. We are
not jealous of his dough and we
dont want another war against
anything. He shouldnt be so
touchy.
For Mitts sake, let me tell
you how we, everybody on
Planet Earth, feel about mon-
ey:
We like it.
Some of us make it more
easily than others, some share
it more easily than others, but
none of us, Democrat or Re-
publican, turn it down.
The issue of inequality vis-
ibly frazzles the Mittster.
Remember when he was
challenged by that woman in
Iowa about the Supreme
Courts Citizens United ruling,
which, for the first time since
the Gilded Age in America
allows a corporation the same
rights as a person?
He nearly came out of his
knickers.
Corporations are people, my
friend of course they are,
the Mittster barked at the
Rocky Mountain woman. Ev-
erything corporations earn
ultimately goes to people.
Where do you think it goes?
Whose pockets? Peoples pock-
ets. Human beings, my friend.
And then the Mittster said
that he knows what it was like
to be unemployed. I should
tell my story, he said to a
group of unemployed in Flor-
ida. Im also unemployed.
Yuk-yuk. Not funny to people
who are unemployed. I am out
here near my grandson in Seat-
tle and it took a few months of
being unemployed. But we all
have our own pot of gold.
Whatever happened to the
noblesse oblige when the
super-rich gave back to the
people who made them
wealthy?
Romney is worth more than
$200 million, according to
estimates, which is only believ-
able if you grew up in rural
China. Hes a billionaire trying
to slum it. Thats why he cant
tell you what he owns.
I dont care what Romney
owns, and I dont expect him to
be his father. George Romney
was an early hero of mine. He
opposed the Vietnam War, was
a strong supporter of civil
rights and fairness, a brave
liberal Republican. As a busi-
nessman and CEO, George
Romney cut his own salary
before he asked a union worker
to make a sacrifice.
So, hopefully the Mittster is
like his father. Of course, we
thought George Bush would be
like his father, too, and that
didnt turn out too well.
These rich guys today carry
an air of entitlement and play
by different rules.
After setting the world on
financial fire, the Wall Street
gluttons cashed in again, giv-
ing themselves more than ever.
When Jamie Dimon testifies
before a Republican House
committee, for example, they
treat him like the queen of
England.
Middle-class Americans have
to play from the thick, heavy
rough while these hoi aris-
toi set it up in the fairway.
And take mulligans.
If we are lucky, maybe we
can get a caddy job from the
job creators.
The middle class in America
creates demand and demand
creates profits, and that is
business.
So lets go back to a time
when adults didnt call them-
selves Democrats or Repub-
licans, and work on this togeth-
er.
And take care of our families.
And remember, the best
players always came from the
public courses.
Middle class needs to rise out of the rough

THE LENGTHY de-
bate about the Patient
Protection and Affor-
dable Care Act did not
end in late June when
the Supreme Court
ruled it constitutional.
While Democrats
declared a victory for the uninsured
and for seizing control of the escalating
cost of health insurance, Republicans
vowed to repeal the law and character-
ized it as bad legislation that will not
accomplish its stated goals.
So which side is correct: the right or
the left? Is the Affordable Care Act a
landmark piece of legislation that will
provide health insurance to millions of
uninsured Americans, while also clos-
ing loopholes that hurt countless oth-
ers, at a reasonable cost? Or is it anoth-
er example of big government expand-
ing its reach and also passing along the
most expensive tax increase in Amer-
ican history?
The main issue the nations high
court was asked to resolve was whether
the federal government has the power
to require every American to buy health
care insurance. Under the act, if you do
not have health insurance, you must
report it on your income tax return and
pay a penalty. What is so good about
this requirement, you might ask?
Think of fire insurance. Those who
buy fire insurance hope they never
need it. However, the few who do need
it are paid out of the funds collected
from everyone who buys the insurance.
Otherwise, fire insurance companies
would go broke if only fire victims
purchased it. The same can be said
about health insurance: The vast major-
ity of Americans pay into the insurance
funds, and payment for medical ser-
vices will be drawn down from these
accounts.
An argument has been made that it is
inappropriate to require young healthy
people to buy health insurance that
they do not need. But what if a young
healthy person is bitten by a rattlesnake
and incurs a hospital bill of $125,000?
The difference with health care is that
we all will require it at some point in
our lives. We could make an argument
that all of us should participate in
health insurance. We all pay for it any-
way. Medicaid and Medicare for the
poor and elderly are funded through
taxes, and other costs such as em-
ployer-provided health insurance, char-
ity care and bad debts are passed
along in the price of goods we pur-
chase.
Wouldnt it be better to require every-
one to have health insurance so the
Affordable Care Act could reduce the
burden of charity care and bad debts on
health care systems, while also improv-
ing the overall health of Americans
through wellness programs and other
services?
Conversely, a lot of the people who
oppose the act do so over philosophical
reasons, arguing that it is nothing more
than a large tax increase. The Supreme
Court said the acts penalty is a tax, and
Congress has the authority to tax. Can
the federal government require us to
buy something else, such as a Ford or
Chevrolet, by creating a penalty tax?
Does this ruling give the federal gov-
ernment too much power? What about
small employers that cannot currently
afford to buy health insurance for their
employees?
Under the act, state health insurance
exchanges will be developed. The ex-
changes will be subsidized to lower
premiums for individuals and employ-
ers that cannot otherwise afford insur-
ance. But will the premiums be low
enough to resolve the problem? There
is a lot of uncertainty about these ex-
changes and how they will work.
The Affordable Care Act provides
access to health care by increasing the
income limitations for people to qualify
for Medicaid, the health insurance for
the poor. An additional 32 million peo-
ple will be covered by Medicaid
through this and other provisions of the
act. Shouldnt all Americans be eligible
for basic health care? The problem is
how to pay for the added volume of
patients and ensure the health care
system can provide proper care.
Pilot projects in the Affordable Care
Act pay providers, doctors and hospi-
tals for helping to keep our nations
citizens healthy rather than paying for
sick care. Under our current sick care
system, the more services patients are
provided, the more money providers
are paid. Many of these services as
much as 30 percent are unnecessary
and are harmful, according to several
studies. We are receiving too much
radiation and unnecessary surgeries, for
example.
Under the new system, providers will
be paid a bundled payment or a cap-
itation rate to keep us healthy, thus
reducing unnecessary services. It is
supposed to reduce health care costs,
but it will not be fast enough to pay for
the increase in Medicaid patients. With-
out malpractice reform, unnecessary
tests will probably continue, even
though providers will lose money by
providing these services.
A lot of the Affordable Care Act tar-
gets reforms in health insurance. For
example, health insurance companies
are required to provide preventive care
without a deductible or coinsurance.
Insurance companies cannot refuse to
provide coverage because of a pre-
existing condition for children or can-
cel policies because someone gets sick.
Lifetime limits have been eliminated.
Our health insurance will continue
even if we receive an organ transplant
that costs more than $1 million. Insur-
ance companies will base premiums on
average cost rather than charging one
group more because they work in an
industry that uses more health care.
So why do Republicans want to re-
peal the law? Shouldnt we be able to
live in a society where we do not have
to worry about losing our savings or
homes because of an illness?
The problem, again, is the cost.
Increased taxes, premiums and re-
ductions in payments to providers will
not cover the entire bill to provide
health care to almost everyone in the
country.
Write your elected officials and tell
them not to repeal the health care re-
form law. There is a lot of good stuff in
there to build upon. Also, tell them not
to continue the existing reform law in
its entirety because it costs too much.
Tell them to set their party loyalties
and ideologies aside and amend the law
so no American will have to worry
about getting high-quality health care.
All will have to give a little for a
healthier and a more economically
stable country.
Health care reform law should stand, but not without amendment

State cuts show
disregard for poor
A
recent newspaper article
(Homeless and losing
hope, June 29) put two
actual faces to area women
who will be terribly affected
by the elimination of a long-
standing state program. Sever-
al thousand others like them
across the state will suffer a
similar fate.
The women are homeless
and staying at Ruths Place, an
emergency shelter that allows
each woman to maintain her
dignity while arranging for
more permanent lodging.
The dream of finding more
permanent housing for these
women was shattered when
the recently passed state bud-
get eliminated the Depart-
ment of Public Welfares Gen-
eral Assistance Cash Grant
Program. Some members of
the Legislature tried to restore
$150 million for this funding
stream that has been in place
since the Great Depression,
but their efforts did not suc-
ceed.
Until these cuts, the cash
assistance program provided a
maximum of about $200 per
month to nearly 70,000 de-
serving Pennsylvanians. Most
of the recipients are adults
with disabilities, but the pro-
gram also serves victims of
domestic violence, children
under age 18 in the care of
adults who are not relatives,
and individuals in drug-and-
alcohol treatment programs.
Besides the outright elim-
ination of the program, an
additional 10 percent was cut
from state aid for county ser-
vices programs. These pro-
grams include community
mental health and mental
disability services, aging ser-
vices and child welfare ser-
vices. A total of $84 million
was eliminated from those
programs.
Obviously, it is relatively
easy to eliminate benefits to
the poor, who unlike other
special-interest groups, lack
the voices to shout in protest
about program cuts. In this
time of great economic hard-
ship, passing a budget with a
surplus of $400 million while
denying basic human services
to the neediest in our commu-
nities is heartless. Particularly
when it comes only one year
after this administration elim-
inated Adult Basic, the state-
funded health plan for 42,000
low-income adults. In Penn-
sylvania there is certainly a
class war developing, but this
one is a war against the poor.
Perhaps a more efficient
way to balance the budget
might have been to take a long
look at our governing body
itself. The 253-member Penn-
sylvania General Assembly is
the second largest legislature
in the country and the single
most costly state government
in the United States.
But, of course, the most
recent budget did not cut a
single nickel from the bloated
Legislature despite many
well-publicized discussions to
do just that. Instead, each of
our legislators will soon bene-
fit from the automatic pay
raises that will cost Pennsylva-
nia taxpayers an additional
$1.7 million.
At the very last minute a
group of legislators was able
to get the government to
extend the Assistance Cash
Grant Program for one month.
It will now end Aug. 1 rather
than July 1. This extension
sends a clear message from
this administration to the
70,000 people affected by the
cuts: You do matter after all
... Its just that you dont mat-
ter very much.

A legend leaves
lasting impression
N
ow that the storm has
passed, we dont know
what is in store for the
Dallas High School football
program. Regardless of what
has happened, or didnt hap-
pen, it is still hard to believe
we will not have Ted Jackson
lead the Mountaineers into
the 2012 season.
Although some of us were
not able to attend the banquet
honoring the man who was
the face of the high schools
football program, it only
means that we will continue
to find ways to honor this
outstanding coach.
The program Coach Jackson
built always will leave an
impression on my life. Every-
one knows that he built men
committed to each other
teaching us all to own what
you get and a work ethic to
get what you deserve. When
you are part of his program,
everyone is responsible for
their actions and one another.
People often criticized this
man for what he did to play-
ers: a practice after a home
game or running drills an
entire practice. What you do
not hear are the reasons why.
As part of the team, it was
about owning up to your ac-
tions and representing the
program on and off the field.
You dont hear that we held a
practice after a game we won
because of the retaliation we
took on the field against a
dirty team. Or that we spent
a practice running because of
the choices made off the field.
Jackson was just as tough a
man off the field, as anyone
knows who has ever played
basketball with him. I was
more sore after a pickup game
than any other game I have
ever played on the court. It
was fun, though! Always com-
petitive, yet played clean, fair
and safe.
I owe this man a lot for the
foundation he gave me.
For some people, it is an
immediate impact. For others,
you begin to realize every-
thing he has done when real-
ity kicks in for life after foot-
ball. A1994 graduate, I did not
return to football in 1995 after
back surgery. Instead, I had to
regroup and needed to make
some tough decisions. After
attending one of Dallas games
in 1996, it reminded me of
what was important.
Watching him from the
sidelines, and observing his
involvement with the players,
was the most important game
of my life. That game meant
more to me than the 1993
state title. For that, I owe this
great man so much.
I never truly gave him credit
for that game and what it
meant.
Most say a tradition has
been lost at Dallas High
School. For me, I see it as we
gained a legend. The stories,
the history, the seasons will be
passed down to our children,
friends and families. We al-
ways will be in debt to a great
coach, an exceptional family
man and a community leader.
Thank you, for everything!

LOS ANGELES Aprincess never lays her
weapons on the table. Aprincess never raises
her voice. A princess strives for perfection. A
princess, in other words, is a royal bore.
At least thats how it seems to Merida, the
red-haired, bow-and-arrow-wielding teenager
at the center of the new Pixar movie Brave
upon hearing her mothers precepts for lady-
like behavior. Merida would prefer to live a
more adventuresome life than the tightly
scriptedone intowhichshes beenbornas the
daughterof anancient Scottishking, anincon-
venient yearning that sparks a nasty quarrel
with her mother and a crisis in the kingdom.
Theanimationstudiosfirst femaleprotago-
nist after12features centeredonmale heroes,
Meridaisoneof agrowingbandof pop-culture
princesses whose defiance, athleticism and
pluck would shock their pie-baking, floor-
scrubbing, dulcet-voicedDisneyancestresses.
Driven by cultural changes and market-
place forces, these newscreen princesses mix
equal parts fantasy and female empower-
ment. In the dark, PG-13 action film Snow
White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart
plays the classic fairy-tale heroine as a Joan of
Arc-like figure who commands a ragtag army
in a suit of armor and with grimy fingernails;
in Mirror Mirror, a more whimsical Snow
White adaptation also in theaters this spring,
LilyCollins trades her skirts for apair of poufy
pantaloons and learns to swashbuckle from
the seven dwarfs.
Small-screen princesses have evolved too.

reliant elementary schoolteacher, while on

At a time whenmale characters outnumber
females 3 to1infamily films, according to the
L.A.-based Geena Davis Institute on Gender
inMedia, theemergenceof thesewarriorprin-
cesses has been cause for celebration for
some. But princesses carry cultural baggage
too, and many modern audiences primarily
associate themwiththe pinkghettoof the toy
aisle.
Impleased to see more females on-screen
and more strong protagonists, said Peggy
Orenstein, author of Cinderella Ate My
Daughter, a book about the pervasiveness of
princess culture. But I feel very mixed about
it. There was a time when a princess was the
only fantasy you could have as a female, the
onlywayof gettingout andgettingpower. But
that was in the year 1100. Youd like to think
theres another option in todays world.

Now the channel that once fea-

ic flourish, peregrine falcons will foldtheir wings andjust swoop

powerful as you see howfar each dip of your paddle takes you. If
you already knowand love the Susquehanna, Barbara Romanansky suspects
she can just tell you the North Branch Land Trusts 12th annual river trip is
Saturday, and youll circle the date.
But if youre a novice, maybe even a never-
before paddler, shes ready to coax you with
promises of bird sightings, a lovely waterfall
and an experience shes confident youll enjoy.
This is a great stretch of river for begin-
ners, she said, describing the 9.6-mile trip
from White Ferry to Harding. There are
beautiful palisades (lines of steepcliffs along-
side the river) and its a nice calm section.
Theres a little bit of ripples here and there,
but nothing challenging. Its just fun.
Romanansky, who is membership and
outreach coordinator for the North
Branch Land Trust, expects the trip
will include a stop of an hour or so
near West Falls for lunch, sightsee-
ing, and if people are interested, a
swim.
The stop will take place across the river
from the mouth of Buttermilk
Creek, where people
should be able to see
Buttermilk Falls sur-
rounded by hemlocks.
Its spectacular.

vid Buck of Endless Moun-

rienced and novice paddlers are welcome on another river excursion on Saturday.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Just because youre not
exactly cut out for a cer-
tain kind of work doesnt
mean you shouldnt force
yourself to do it anyway.
Youll enjoy trying some-
thing new, regardless of
your skill level.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Youre the consummate
problem solver, and youll
spend quite a lot of time
making life run more
smoothly. Ultimately, youll
be the one to change a
system, refine a technique
or improve the available
tools.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You have a gift today
for listening objectively
to your thoughts. Extract
wisdom from them while
weeding out the voices
that are pointlessly
negative.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
The truth shall not only
set you free; it shall make
you laugh in the process.
So after you laugh, consid-
er why you did. There is no
funny without truth.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Inaction may save you
from making a bad move,
but if you are letting fear
paralyze you, its not worth
it. Right now, a bad move
is better than no move at
all, because it puts you
back in the game.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
The reason so many peo-
ple want to be around you
now is that you appreciate
those who were already
around you, and the oth-
ers got wind of your good
vibes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
For you, its not about
the money; its about
what you could do with it.
Filmmakers turn money
into light. Songwriters turn
it into music. Once the
cash is in hand, your mind
whirs with possibilities.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Unlike water, different
people boil at different
degrees. A situation has
you at a simmer now, and
youll decide whether to
get out of the fire or give
it more fuel.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Your visual sense is
enhanced now. Youll be
exposed to beauty, and
youll love the experience
of learning through your
eyeballs. Also, you can
learn quickly by picturing
information.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Your inspiration comes
from a source, and then
later youre the source of
inspiration for someone
else. So keep looking for
what gets your creative
juices going. You owe it
to the next person to stay
inspired.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). A friend in need may
be a friend indeed, but
today you cant help but
favor the ones who arent
in need. Even giving souls
like you appreciate a break
now and then.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You will be surrounded by
the things that reflect who
you are. Your values, taste
and sensibilities shine
through as you share,
display and decorate from
the heart.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July
15). Your intuitive powers
are heightened throughout
the next five weeks, and
youll be delighted by what
happens when you act on
one of your whims. August
brings hard work followed
by a windfall. October puts
your knowledge to the
test. Family happenings
will be joyous, and rela-

2013. Leo and Sagittarius
people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 10, 2,
34, 38 and 18.

DEAR ABBY
Couple wonder if they
can live without kids
Dear Abby:
Shortly af-
ter my wife
and I were
married, my
wife got preg-
nant. Due
to complications with the
pregnancy, the baby had to
be delivered early through a
C-section. Our baby didnt
make it. That was four years
ago.
After unsuccessfully try-
ing to conceive for almost a
year now, my wife decided
she wanted to find out why.
We learned that there is a
problem that was most likely
caused by the C-section.
Although we are still trying
to see what can be done,
there is a good chance that
things wont be as easy as
we expected regarding a
pregnancy.
Im personally in no hurry,
but my wife is suffering a
great deal as a result of this.
Im trying to ease things for
her, telling her that this is
not her fault and that were
in this together, and trying
to reassure her that she is
more important to me than
kids.
However, she keeps say-
ing that Im just saying it,
and with time I will change
my mind and start to think
about having kids. She says
this is a basic instinct and it
will eventually show up. My
question is: Is life without
kids unbearable to an extent
that we might reach a point
we wont be able to continue
together?
Confused Husband in
Jordan
Dear Confused Husband:
There are many happily
childless couples. But before
you and your wife reconcile
to being one of them, con-
sult an ob/gyn who special-
izes in infertility. Thanks to
advances in medical science,
there is more than one way
to become parents. If your
wife isnt able to carry a
pregnancy to term because
of her surgery, you may be
able to hire a surrogate. The
baby would result from your
sperm and your wifes egg
and be your biological child.
Its possible that your
wife is depressed and could
benefit from talking with a
mental health professional. I
hope you both will start do-
ing some research to find out
what options are available to
you including adoption
if you wish to become
parents.
Dear Abby: I am a happily
married English lady who
came to the United States in
1985. I have a good career
working for the same com-
pany for more than 20 years.
My husband and I have no
children. We enjoy travel and
twice a year visit my aging
parents in England.
My problem is that my
guilt for not being there for
my parents is growing stron-
ger by the day. Im an only
child and feel that although
they are both in relatively
good health, they really need
me. To move there would be
financially impossible for us.
Every year for the past 10
years we have spent a total
of four weeks with them in
England. I call them every
three days on the phone, and
yet the guilt continues to
build.
Is what Im doing accept-
able, or am I a bad daughter
for choosing to live my life
so far away from them? They
know that if anything hap-
pened and they needed me,
Id be on the next plane to be
with them.
Conflicted in Florida
Dear Conflicted: You are
not a bad daughter. You
are a caring daughter who
has made a success of her
life, and who, because she
loves her parents, is making
herself crazy over choices
she made years ago that she
cant change. You are doing
more for your parents than
many people do, so stop flog-
ging yourself. Please!

With the Kardashians. Profit for
E!, which is distributed interna-
tionally in 91 territories, has been
estimated at more than $300 mil-
lion last year on revenue that
topped$700million.
But Hollywood, and its web of
young socialites and hangers-on,
suddenly seemed too small a can-
vas given Comcasts greater ambi-
tions for E! Whats more, the net-
work had increasing numbers of
imitators.
In a lot of ways, their strengths
havebeenovertakenbythecompe-
titionas Bravoandother brands al-
sohave branchedout todocelebri-
tyrealityshows, Heftmansaid.
Also, advertisers avoided shows
populated by former Playboy play-
mates, giving the network an in-
centive to upgrade its program-
ming. Not only that, some of the
networks most successful shows,
E! News, The Soup and Chel-
sea Lately are topical and have
limitedshelf lives.
Fromtheget-go, itwas, Howdo
we get E! recognized for the value
that it currently has, and then ex-
pand the channels focus beyond
Hollywoodinto NewYork, Miami,
Nashville, LondonandParis cov-
ering pop culture trends in music,
fashion, politics and sports?
Hammer saidinaninterview.
Hammer a year ago named Su-
zanne Kolb, a veteran television
marketing executive, as president
of E! (Women fill nearly all of the
networkstopjobs, ararityinthein-
dustry.) Since Hammer and Kolb
tookover, theyhavebeenonamis-
siontobetter understandE!s iden-
tityandaudience.

We found we needed to give
people more of a reason to watch
moreofE!,Kolbsaid. Athletesare
as big of celebrities as many A-list
movie stars. They are part of the
public fascination. If covering ce-
lebritiesisakeypart of what wedo,
thenwe have toevolve.
During the most recent televi-
sion season, E! drewan average of
627,000 viewers in prime time, ac-
cordingtoNielsen, laggingbehind
competitors Lifetime, TLC and
Bravo, whicheachdrawmorethan
1millionviewers a night.
But the channel is competitive
among the coveted demographic
of viewers ages18to34. Inthat cat-
egory, E! comes in behind Bravo
but ahead of Lifetime and TLC.
The median age of E!s audience is
33.
The most popular show on the
network is the Kardashian chroni-
cle, whichthisseasonhasaveraged
2.2 million viewers an episode, ac-
cording to Nielsen. The Kim Kar-
dashian wedding special in Octo-
bersetanetworkrecordwithanau-

marriage lastedjust 72days.
It wasnot thegreatest periodof

The Kardashians are a very
loudfranchise, andthere is a beau-

Longtime Democratic political consult-
ant James Carville and strategist Stan
Greenberg have written a recipe for Presi-
dent Barack Obamas re-election in their
book, Its the Middle Class, Stupid!
Neither is working directly for Obama.
But their credentials are immense, and it
was Carville, as an adviser to then-candi-
date Bill Clinton, who in 1992 led the
charge with the slogan Its the economy,
stupid! the campaign come-on that
the books title apes.
Essentially, theyre saying the vast ma-
jority of Americans identify themselves
as members of the middle class, and
Americans are both savvier than politic-
ians realize and more disaffected than ev-
er. So, whether you believe the middle
class is shrinking statistically or not, its
up for grabs. And Democratic candidates
are risking every-
thing unless they
immediately
and repeatedly
tell voters
how they will cut
the deficit, heal
the economy and
guarantee the
long-term health
of the middle
class.
Carvilles and
Greenbergs reci-
pe includes rais-
ing the tax rate
on the highest incomes (but in line with
what they see as a deep-seated American
respect for financial success, not going af-
ter wealth itself); investing in education,
research, infrastructure and innovation;
and getting out of Afghanistan and simi-
lar conflicts. All this must be done, they
say, with equal parts deficit cuts and tax
increases.
To introduce their ideas, they present
pages and pages of quotes from focus
groups and numerous charts of demo-
graphic data, economic trends and survey
responses. Its all very timely, with refer-
ences to Congressman Paul Ryans pro-
posed federal budget, to what must hap-
pen this fall and to the health care re-
forms the pair would pitch, whether or
not the 2010 overhaul survives (the Su-
preme Court mostly upheld it last month,
after the book went to press, but Repub-
lican leaders now vow to block the over-
hauls implementation and repeal it). And
the book does get more readable and co-
hesive as it progresses.
But Carville and Greenberg largely
omitted the guideposts that readers need
to get from one point to the next. And
much of the impressive evidence they
marshal gets obscured by the books for-
mat, in which they mimic the frothy back-
and-forth of the TV talk shows where Car-
ville shines.
Heres a sample from Carville: Every
cockamamie, goofball, jackass, stupid
idea that has come up in the last 30 years
has come from Representative Ryan and
his ilk. Ill be glad to enumerate (etc.). ...
Its not enough that the working poor
have been crushed and he and his kind
have gotten every kind of break; they
have to have more. Greenberg frequently
modulates, telling Carville: Well, it is a
little more complex. ... Well, lets just
say there is a fog machine on our side
too. ... and You are not far off.
Here, separately, Greenberg comes the
closest to a conclusion, this time address-
ing the reader: Well be honest with you:
Only if Obama and the Democrats run on
the principle that its the middle class,
stupid! do we have any chance as a coun-
try to address the state of the middle
class and their dreams. ... The deep prob-
lems at the heart of this book have to be
at the heart of our politics.

U
nemployed and nearly broke, Rory Mack-
enzie returns home to Ransom River on-
ly to find a jury-duty summons for what
promises to be the case of the century for the
small California town: the shootingof analleged-
ly unarmed man by an off-duty police officer.
Before the trial gets off the ground, however, the courtroom
is attacked, and Rory is among those chosen as hostages. In
the wake of this trauma I wont tell youhowit is resolved
Rory finds she is among the prime suspects for engineering
the attack.
Before long, Rory uncovers a connection between the mur-
der case and an unsolved robbery case from long ago. Whats
more, that case is somehow connected to her family.
I ama fan of Gardiners Jo Beckett series and would love to
see this stand-alone novel introduce her to waves of newread-
ers. Rory is a fantastic protagonist. Shes smart, quick-think-
ing, fiercely loyal and resilient. Shes the sort of action hero
youwant tosee inmovies: She cantake multiple hits, andthey
just make her stronger.
Furthermore, Ransom River is everything you want in a
blockbuster thriller: multiple plot twists, thoroughly creepy
psychotic villains, danger at every turn. Gardiner has an envi-
able talent for pushing characters and plot elements to the
point of strainingcredibility, but she never breaks the limits of
plausibility. And the manner in which Rory pieces things to-
gether is satisfyingly unexpected.
Gardiners conclusion to Ransom River leaves open the
possibility for a sequel, and to that may I just say: yes, please.

A
BOARD THE EASTERN & ORIENTAL EX-
PRESS Beads of sweat trickle down my
forehead on a muggy night in Bangkok when I
realize Imlate for the Eastern &Oriental Ex-
press train. Ivemissedtheshuttlefrommyho-
tel, and my baggage bounces over the unevenly paved
streets as I run to the station in a panic. As I fly down the
platform, my dress billows behind me. I feel like a character
in an old movie as I sprint for the train, but its not Paris in
the 1920s, and Imnot chasing the love of my life. Instead, I
plan to be chasing back martinis as I journey through north-
east Thailands picturesque landscapes of rice-paddy fields
and lush hilltops, en route to Laos on this modern luxury
train.
Flustered, I hop on seconds be-
fore the green and cream train
toot-toots out of the station, and
just as I imagined, its as though
Ive landed in a bygone era. Cher-
ry-wood-walled corridors inlaid
with deep-set maroon carpets
pave the way to elm-burr paneled
cabins, outfitted with floral-pat-
terned furniture and adorned
with veneers of rosewood mar-
quetry and intricate inlays. Flam-
ingo pink and brass lampshades
create warm, buttery hues inside
cozy cabins. Elegantly suited at-
tendants pepper the corridors,
ready to oblige your every need.
In the distance, a bar piano tin-
kles Dixieland jazz.
The Eastern&Oriental is own-
ed by the same company that
took over the storied Orient Ex-
press, which began running be-
tween Paris and Vienna in 1883.
That legendary route changed
and expanded over time, and by
the 1930s, the trains also served
destinations incentral andsouth-
ern Europe. Luxurious interiors
and service attracted royalty, dip-
lomats, business executives and
the bourgeoisie, and the brand
including sister trains like the
E&O still carries that reputa-
tion for luxury. The team that re-
furbished the modern Venice
Simplon-Orient Express train
created the interiors for the East-
ern &Oriental, which began run-
ning in Asia in1993. Its carriages
incorporate Eastern motifs and
themes.
The E&O has several routes,
including journeys to Singapore
and through Malaysia. I picked a
four-day, three-night round-trip
from Bangkok to Laos. Unfortu-
nately, we lost a days ride due to
flooding that had washed out
tracks in the south, so instead of
winding through the countryside
by day for a stop in Chiang Mai,
we listened to a lecture about
Thailands textile culture andhis-
tory at Bangkoks Mandarin Ori-
ental hotel, followed by a delec-
table evening spread. With full
bellies, we boarded the train just
in time for a nightcap, an intro-
ductionto our cozy cabins andat-
tendant, and moments later, our
bumpy ride into the night began.
At dawn, the smell of percolat-
ing coffee wafted through the
corridors and the jostling of loco-
motive travel shook us from
slumber. Our cabin attendant
greeted us with a continental
breakfast, includingaselectionof
scrumptious gluten-free baked
goods to accommodate my aller-
gy. And then it was off to Phimai,
one of the most prominent
Khmer ruins complexes in Thai-
land, whichis onthe tentative list
of UNESCO World Heritage
sites. In Korat in northeastern
Thailand, Phimai was the site of a
Khmer city, built between 1579
and1589bytheKhmer KingSuri-
yavaraman I as part of the Khmer
Empire. Here, we were treated to
a traditional Khmer dance per-
formance and a lecture about the
significance and history of the
sprawling ancient city.
We hopped back onto the train
for lunch and journeyed through
picturesque Khao Yai, where we
disembarked for an afternoon
tour of the GranMonte Family
Vineyard, a unique grape-grow-
ing region and winery in the
countrys north. After sampling
several international award-win-
ning selections, we stumbled
back onto the train to glam it up
for dinner. The E&O encourages
a formal dress code for its night-
time noshing as a means to help
preserve its glitzy past and en-
courages passengers to get to
knoweachother, so youre seated
among other guests for a fancy-
shmancy meal and entertaining
conversation. I dined with a cou-
ple who had recently lost their
home and belongings in the
Christchurch, New Zealand,
earthquake, and who were using
the tragic incident as a catalyst to
begin anew, along with a fellow
Canadian who regaled me with
fascinatingstories about working
around the world as an interna-
tional conflict resolution expert
with the United Nations.
The next morning, the train
rode over the Mekong River via
the Friendship Bridge on newly
laid tracks linking Thailand to
Laos. We were greeted by anoth-
er traditional dance, this time
Laotian, before setting off to ex-
plore the capital city of Vientiane,
as well as a textile factory started
by a former U.N. development
worker originally from Ethiopia.
The day of touring did not pro-
vide enough time to do the city
justice, but weheadedbacktothe
train for the last evening of cock-
tailing and conversation. After a
delightful, waist-expanding
three-course dinner, I snuggled
into bed for the last nights jour-
ney back to Bangkok.
Before drifting off, it occurred
to me that if I had been chasing
the love of my life, I might have
let him go so I could spend more
time chasing adventures on the
Eastern & Oriental through
Southeast Asia.
All aboard for a scenic ride
A delightful trip awaits on the

Name: Garmin GTU 10 GPS
Locator
What it is: A GPS device
about 3 inches long and an inch
wide that you can track via
computer or smartphone.
How it works: Attach the de-
vice to a dog, a suitcase, a bike,
a car, a marathoner, a child, a
husband, a wife whatever
you want to track. When you
want to see where the device is,
you simply call up the my.gar-
min.com Web page or go to the
Android or iPhone app and
click to locate the device on a
map. After purchase, you must
register and activate your loca-
tor. Some online reviews said
this was a touchy process; I had
no problem. To maintain an ac-
count after one year costs
about $50.
The good: I tracked my wifes
car (with her permission) in a
suburban setting and was able
to follow her movements so
closely that I could even tell
when she had to stop for a traf-
fic light on the way to work and
whether she was breaking the
speed limit. By creating what
Garmin calls a geofence, I also
received email notification
whenever her car entered or ex-
ited a given area. The device
worked so well that I was able
to deduce when she went to
Burger King for lunch. (She
said she got a salad.) Despite
its implications for familial es-
pionage, I can see great travel
applications for this, such as
when you let your teen take
that school trip and you know
she wont call often enough or
when you want to track fellow
travelers while on the road.
The bad: When trying to
track co-workers in a big-city
setting, the GPS signal was un-
able to navigate the tall build-
ings, so the device reverted to
positioning via cell-tower sig-
nals. This gave approximate lo-
cations rather than exact GPS
positioning, so the device can
be limited by terrain. Also, the
more notifications you demand
fromthe device, the quicker the
battery runs out, but geofences
help conserve power.
Cost: $199.99

always, shop around)

Advertising Projects Writer
The perfect country retreat can be
found at this log ranch home located at
130 Marvin Rd., Union Twp. Located
in the community of Muhlenberg, just
about ve miles north of Shickshinny,
this four-bedroom, two-bath home is
set on 2.78 acres and comes complete
with a 42-by-52 barn.
Listed by Richard Long, of Gordon
and Long Real Estate, for $229,000, the
home is set on a hillside with seasonal
views in nearly every direction. There
is a large covered porch that spans the
front of the home with a wrap-around
deck extending down the side and
across the back. There is a traditional
split-log exterior matched by stunning
tongue-and-groove paneling through-
out the interior. A highlight is the
vaulted ceiling shared by the living
room, dining room and kitchen.
Providing a light and airy space for
living and entertaining, this open area
includes a 27-by-24 living room and
dining room area. It offers gray and
blue speckled carpeting and two win-
dows front. There are log walls on the
exterior and tongue and groove panel-
ing on the interior walls and ceiling. A
closet is set near to the front door.
The dining area has patio doors that
open to the side porch and a full wall
of windows that face rear. A table is set
in front of the bay of windows offering
a view of the deck and surrounding
countryside. A propane heater is built
into the sidewall and provides a supple-
ment to the homes electric heating
system.
A huge island with breakfast bar
separates the dining area from the
open 16-by-11 kitchen. This kitchen
features oak cabinets topped by butch-
er-block countertops that result in a
large amount of workspace and cabinet
storage. There is also plenty of room
for collectables thanks to open softs
above the cabinets. Appliances include
a microwave, stove, dishwasher and
refrigerator
The hall to the right has knotty pine
wainscoting and leads to three of the
four bedrooms.
The master bedroom measures
13-by-11 and has tan Berber carpeting,
a double closet and windows facing
the side and rear. This room also has
