In this April 10, 1912,
file photo, the liner
Titanic leaves South-
ampton, England, on
its maiden voyage.
T
o most Americans, the story of
the great ocean liner RMS Ti-
tanic is drawn from movies.
Its a love epic, a tale of corporate
greed or a panorama of a vanished
world of sharp class distinctions, all
starring famous actors and actresses.
To some Wyoming Valley families,
however, the name Titanic calls up
memories of their ownancestors con-
fronting death in the freezing North
Atlantic with courage and steadfast-
ness. That is because nearly 20 of the
more than 2,200 people on board
were headed for Wilkes-Barre.
Today, April 15, is the 100th anni-
versary of the disaster.
Why so many bound for one small
city?
To historian William V. Lewis Jr.,
whohas studiedthe local contingent,
theres no mystery.
It was a case of mostly related peo-
ple from Hardine, Lebanon, follow-
ing a standard immigrant pattern of
heading for a town where family and
friends had preceded them. They

CARTAGENA, Colombia
An embarrassing scandal involv-
ing prostitutes and Secret Ser-
vice agents deepened Saturday
as 11 agents were placed on
leave, and the agency designed
to protect President Barack Oba-
ma had to offer
regret for the
mess over-
shadowing his
diplomatic
mission to La-
tin America.
The contro-
versy also ex-
panded to the
U.S. military,
which an-
nounced five
service mem-
bers staying at
the same hotel
as the agents
in Colombia
may have been
involved in
misconduct as
well. They
were confined
to their quar-
ters in Colom-
bia and or-
dered not to have contact with
others.
All the alleged activities took
place before Obama arrived Fri-
day for meetings with 33 other
regional leaders.
The allegations were an em-
barrassment for an American
president on foreign soil and
threatened to upend White
House efforts to keep his trip fo-
cused on boosting economic ties
with fast-growing Latin Ameri-
ca. Obama was holding two days
of meetings at the Summit of the
Americas with leaders from
across the vast region.

Danelle Jones spends at least
four hours a day looking for an af-
fordable place for her andher two
sons to live. Another four hours
are spent looking for a job.
Every day, Ive been out look-
ing at apartments, but people
want way too much, especially
when youre on a fixed income,
said the 30-year-old Jones, who
lost her job as a certified nursing
assistant.
Now staying at Ruths Place
House of Hope, a shelter for
homeless women in Wilkes-
Barre, Jones recently submitted
an application to the Sherman
Hills subsidized housing com-
plex in the city. She was told
theres an approximately three-
month wait.
At least theres some light at
the end of the tunnel now, given
that shehadbeenonawaitinglist
for a three-bedroomunit with the
Luzerne County Housing Au-
thority for nearly three years,
Jones said.
Dave Fagula, executive direc-
tor of the Luzerne County Hous-
ing Authority, said a two- to
three-year wait is not uncom-
mon. And he expects it to get
worse if the federal government
continues to make cuts on social
safety net programs suchas hous-
ing assistance.

In the birthplace of the Titanic,
residents gathered for a choral
requiem.
In the North Atlantic, above
the ships final resting place,
passengers were to pray as a band
struck up a hymn and three floral
wreaths were cast onto the
waves.
A century after the great ship
went down with the loss of 1,500
lives, events around the globe
marked a tragedy that retains a
titanic grip on the worlds imag-
ination an icon of Edwardian
luxury that became, in a few dark
hours 100 years ago, an enduring
emblem of tragedy.

POLICE BLOTTER
WILKES-BARRE -- A King-
ston man charged with trying
to stab a police officer during
a traffic stop was convicted
Thursday of four related
charges after a jury deliberat-
ed for just over an hour.
Daniel Miller, 25, was found
guilty of charges of aggravat-
ed assault, simple assault,
resisting arrest and possess-
ing a small amount of mari-
juana after a three-day trial.
The jury found Miller not
guilty of an additional count
of aggravated assault.
Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr.
said Miller, who was repre-
sented by attorney Allyson
Kacmarski, will be sentenced
on June 8.
The case was prosecuted by
Assistant District Attorney
Rebecca Reimiller.
Police said Miller had a
knife with a 3-inch blade in
his hand when he was strug-
gling with an officer in a park-
ing lot on Wilkes-Barre Town-
ship Boulevard in August
2010.
An officer grabbed Miller
from behind, initiating anoth-
er struggle in which the offi-
cer lost his ability to radio for
more officers.
Stash said two bystanders
aided in Millers apprehen-
sion.
SCRANTON The U.S.
Attorneys Office for the Mid-
dle District of Pennsylvania
charged a Nanticoke woman
Tuesday with filing a false
federal income tax return.
According to U.S. Attorney
Peter J. Smith, in March
2008, Deborah Rentko filed a
tax return for calendar year
2007 that materially and
falsely under-represented her
income.
If convicted, Rentko could
face three years in prison and
a $250,000 fine.
The investigation was con-
ducted by the Internal Reve-
nue Service, Criminal In-
vestigation Unit. Assistant
U.S. Attorney Lorna N. Gra-
ham is prosecuting the case.

Kulick is arrested
Robert Kulick, a one-time associate
of a reputed mob boss, was arrested
Thursday for failing to appear at a
hearing in federal court the same day
for allegedly violating the terms of his
probation.
Kulick was taken
into custody at Geis-
inger Community
Medical Center,
Scranton, by a mem-
ber of the U.S. Mar-
shals Service and
ordered detained by
U.S. Magistrate Judge
Malachy Mannion.
Kulick, who had been an associate of
reputed mob boss William DElia,
served a prison sentence for a guilty
plea to a convicted felon in possession
of a firearm. He was on supervised
release when he was arrested in Febru-
ary on charges of violating a protection
from abuse order obtained against him
by his wife, Rose Mattioli-Kulick of
Bear Creek Township.
She was subpoenaed to appear at the
hearing.
U.S. District Judge James Munley set
a new hearing 10 a.m. Tuesday in U.S.
District Court, Scranton.

Union group sets protest
An association of Pennsylvania
unions is planning a tax-day protest of
a legal loophole that allows corpora-
tions to avoid paying state taxes at
11:30 a.m. Tuesday at Toys R Us, 620
Kidder St.
The CLEAR Coalition hopes to urge
state lawmakers and Gov. Tom Corbett
to close to the Delaware loophole, a
gap in state law that allows companies
to reduce their Pennsylvania corporate
income taxes through royalties and
similar payments to holding companies
in other states.
A bill to close the loophole cleared
the state House April 2.
CLEAR Coalition says the parent
company of Toys R Us uses the loop-
hole to avoid paying state income tax-
es.

After nearly a decade of increases,
states have started cutting funding for
pre-kindergarten classes nationwide, re-
ducing both the number of students en-
rolled and the quality of programs, a na-
tional study contends. The pattern is
apparently playing out in Pennsylvania
and Luzerne County.
The National Institute for Early Edu-
cation Research released its State of
Pre-school 2011 report last week, and
the emphasis was on a reversal of what
had been an upward trend in state fund-
ing for pre-kindergarten programs.
Over the past decade, state-funded
pre-K has been educations biggest suc-
cess story. Enrollment has grown dra-
matically, and, in a number of states, so
has quality. the executive summary be-
gins, but our data show that many
states commit-
ments to their
youngest citizens
are now slipping.
State-level num-
bers in the report
show this holds
largely true for
Pennsylvania.
From 2001-02 to
2010-11, enroll-
ment for 3-year-
olds rose 6 per-
cent, while enroll-
ment for 4-year-
olds rose 14 per-
cent. In the last
year of that
stretch, from
2009-10 to 2010-11, 3-year-old enroll-
ment rose 2 percent, but 4-year-old en-
rollment dropped 1 percent.
The report data also show state
spending on pre-k programs dropped by
$850 per pupil from 2009-10 to 2010-11.
The report warns that such cuts can not
only reduce enrollment, but also can re-
duce quality of programs.
Luzerne County Head Start Execu-
tive Director Lynn Biga said that has
already started to happen here.
We had to eliminate a position out of
our budget, Biga said, adding the job
cut involved family support to help par-
ents learn what they need to do for their
children to succeed, and to connect
them with child care services such as
dental exams and medical care.
The report looks at the latest avail-
able national data, but that means it did
not include cuts Gov. Tom Corbett
made in his 2011-12 budget. Nor does it
consider the potential impact of further
cuts he has proposed in the 2012-13 bud-
get.
If the proposal is approved, Biga said,
our Pre-K Counts will be reduced by
$150 per child.
The report and Biga repeated the
mantra of early-education proponents:
Funding is
cut for Pa.

Though college ID cards are among
the acceptable photo identifications in-
cludedinthe recently enactedPennsyl-
vania voter IDlaw, only some local stu-
dents can use their current college IDs
at the polling place.
The law requires that identity cards
display expiration dates, and as of now,
IDs at only one local college -- Luzerne
County Community College in Nanti-
coke -- meet that requirement.
Since the requirement wont be en-
forced until the November general
election, colleges have time to add an
expiration date. Two local local
schools say they will addthe dates, two
are studying the change and others are
undecided or will not change.
Misericordia University in Dallas
Township has student identification
cards that include a sticker bearing the
academic year, but because the words
expire or expiration do not appear,
they would not conform to the new
state law.
Paul Krzywicki, a Misericordia
spokesman, said the college is exam-
ining adding an expiration date to stu-
dent IDs to meet and comply with the
new law.
Kings College will be gauging how
practical adding expiration stickers or
other possible remedies are, spokes-
man John McAndrew said.
McAndrew noted that college IDs
are like credit cards since they use a
magnetic strip on the back that stores
information and can be activated or
deactivated so there has been no need
to post an expiration date on them.

Studies show assuring that dis-
advantaged children are pre-
pared for first grade means they
dont start school behind their
peers, which in turn means they
are more likely to succeed, less
likely to need special-education
services and, in the long run,
more likely to graduate and live
productive lives. Students who
dont get the extra education
have higher odds of turning to
crime or drugs.
I think states should care
about their children and their hu-
man capital, Biga said. As we
dicker about this, the window of
opportunity for children disap-
pears. Youre only 3 and 4 once.

en, a 10-term incumbent who
is being challenged in the pri-
mary by attorney Matt Cart-
wright of Moosic.
Among them were state sen-
ators John Yudichak and John
Blake and state representa-
tives Mike Carroll and Sid Mi-
chaels Kavulich.
Weve seen a redistricting
that has changed the face of
Pennsylvania politically, and I
actually said on the floor of the
Senate, I said notwithstanding
what I thought of it I tell you
one thing for sure that were
glad to have is Tim Holden in
the 17th District here in North-
eastern Pennsylvania, Blake
said.
Carney said Holdens senior-
ity in the House and on its
Agriculture and Transporta-
tion and Infrastructure com-
mittees is crucial to bringing
federal dollars to the area.
(Cartwright) is a good guy,
but Matt, if he came in, goes to
the back of the line, and se-
niority is critical, Carney
said. When we talk about get-
ting transportation bills
through, Tim is at the table;
when we talk about anything
in agriculture, Tim is at the ta-
ble; when we talk about any-
thing for Pennsylvania, it is
Tim at the table.
Cartwright, who attended a
labor rally on nearby Cour-
thouse Square on Saturday
morning, wasnt fazed by
Caseys endorsement of his op-
ponent.
I have the deepest respect
for Sen. Casey and I look for-
ward to serving with him when
Im elected, Cartwright said.
He said he is confident head-
ed into the April 24 primary.
Without getting into specif-
ics, the polling has showed
quite clearly that the outra-
geous attacks on me and my
family are not working on the
people of Northeast Pennsyl-
vania, Cartwright said.
Were smarter than that
around here.
The campaign between the
two Democrats has gotten par-
ticularly aggressive, with both
candidates on the attack in ad-
vertisements. Holden said he
has campaigned this aggres-
sively in the past, but not in a
primary.
He defended his ads, saying
that Matt Cartwright was kill-
ing me in the mail for a month
before I went on television;
hes posing for holy pictures
on TV and killing me in the
mail.

District 17 U.S. Rep. Tim Holden speaks to supporters in Scranton
where U.S. Sen. Bob Casey endorsed him in a letter.
College, in La Plume, do not
have expiration dates. But that
will change in the fall semester,
said college spokesman Fran
Calpin.
Now that the new voter iden-
tification law is officially in ef-
fect, Keystone plans to update
our student IDs to conform to
the new law, Calpin said.
Marywood University in Dun-
more is going to add expiration
dates to student IDs, though a
school spokeswoman said those
plans were already being dis-
cussed before the voting law
was signed. She said it was to
ensure only current students
had access to campus facilities
such as the pool and fitness cen-
ter.
Wilkes University is planning
to accommodate students who
lack other acceptable
forms of ID, said
Vicki Mayk, a spokes-
woman for the
Wilkes-Barre school.
Since a majority of
students have anoth-
er form of identifica-
tion, such as a driv-
ers license, Wilkes
does not have plans
to re-issue new cards
to all students, facul-
ty and staff. It would
be cost prohibitive.
However, we are planning to
provide a new card with a visible
expiration date to students who
have no other form of identifica-
tion, so that they can participate
in elections, Mayk said.
Penn State campuses in Ha-
zleton, Wilkes-Barre and Dun-
more issue IDs based on the
Penn State system regulations
that do not include expiration
dates, only issue dates.
Susan Bartal, a spokeswoman
for the Penn State
Hazleton campus,
located in Sugarloaf
Township, said sys-
tem officials are
aware of the law and
the lack of compli-
ance with the IDs
but no decision has
been made to
change the cards.
University of
Scranton spokes-
man Stanley Zyg-
munt said his col-
lege does not conform with the
law right now, and at this time,
we are not planning on changing
the ID.
Neither Lackawanna College
nor Baptist Bible College has
plans to change ID formats.
All of the colleges said they
will be doing outreach to inform
students of the changes to the
voting law, either through
school offices or student-led
clubs or organizations.

Military first is stressed
H
ours after a failed rocket launch
criticized abroad as a covert test of
missile technology, North Koreas new
leader underlined the countrys mil-

allocates a sizable chunk of funding to
defense spending.
North Koreas legislature also rubber-

Saturday, in a strong indication that

just as it did under his father, late lead-

Council chief takes over
The son of a former Afghan peace

The election of Salahuddin Rabbani

Hizb-i-Islami, one of three major mil-
itant factions that are instrumental to
crafting a peaceful end to the conflict
as U.S. and other foreign troops leave.
Part of the U.S.-led coalitions exit

BEIRUT The U.N. Security
Council voted unanimously Saturday
to dispatch a first team of monitors to
Syria to shore up a brittle cease-fire as
escalating fighting between regime
and rebel forces threatened the truce
at the heart of special envoy Kofi An-
nans peace plan.
Syrian troops shelled residential
neighborhoods and rebel gunmen fired
rocket-propelled grenades in the cen-
tral city of Homs in the first use of
heavy weapons since the cease-fire of-
ficially took effect Thursday. Loud
booms echoed across the city as
smoke rose above badly damaged
apartment blocs. In other parts of Sy-
ria, both sides described several dead-
ly shootings and ambushes, and re-
ported at least 14 people were killed.
Saturdays resolution gave the 15-
nation Security Council its first united
front since the uprising against Presi-
dent Bashar Assad began 13 months
ago; it called for immediate deploy-
ment of up to 30 monitors, to be fol-
lowed by a larger contingent of up to
250 once the situation has stabilized.
Emphasizing that both sides must
halt the violence that has killed more
than 9,000, the council called on Syria
to pull soldiers and heavy weapons
out of towns and cities a truce
provision Assads regime has ignored.
It also demanded urgent compliance
with Annans six-point plan intended
to lead to talks between the regime
and the opposition on Syrias political
future.
The plan is widely seen as the only
remaining chance for diplomacy,
mainly because it has the backing of
Syria allies Russia and China, which
shielded Assad from Security Council
condemnation in the past.
Annan said in Geneva that he was
very relieved and happy about the
council vote.
Western powers and opposition
leaders remain skeptical about Assads
willingness to ease his tight grip on
the country, ruled by his family for
four decades. The regime appears to

ISTANBUL Iranian and Eu-
ropean officials expressed confi-
dence in the results of Saturdays
negotiations on Tehrans disput-
ed nuclear program as it was an-
nounced that the two sides will
meet again in Baghdad on May
23.
The very fact
that there will
be another
round adds to a
growing sense
among diplo-
mats that the
two sides were
making notable
progress in talks that have grown
increasingly tense as the West
has tightened sanctions on Iran
and Israel has threatened a pre-
emptive military strike on the Is-
lamic republic.
But the challenges in the next
round could be far more signifi-
cant. Thats when the six powers
will likely seek further commit-
ments from Tehran to reduce
concerns that it could use its ura-
nium enrichment program to
make the fissile core of nuclear
missiles.
EU foreign policy chief Cathe-
rine Ashton called Saturdays
talks inIstanbul constructive and
saidfuture talks will be guidedby
the principle of a step-by-step
approach and reciprocity.
That indicates the internation-
al community is ready to reward
Iran if it moves to alleviate fears
that it intends to weaponize its
nuclear program rewards that
could include delaying or easing
some sanctions.
Irans chief negotiator, Saeed
Jalili saidhis teamsawapositive
approach (from the other side)
and we consider it a step for-
ward.
Iraninsists its nuclear program
is peaceful, and Ashton said Sat-
urday that Tehran has a right to
such a peaceful program. At the
same time, she added, the Nucle-
ar Nonproliferation Treaty must
be the key basis for future talks.
Iran asserts that it has not vio-
lated the treaty.

talks go to

Tornado sirens sounded across Okla-
homa City before dawn, andat least three
possible tornadoes were reported west
and north of the city, said Oklahoma De-
partment of Emergency Management of-
ficial Michelann Ooten. Some homes
were damaged, though no injuries were
immediately reported.
But the most dangerous weather was
expected later in the day, and National
Weather Service officials issued a stern
warning for residents to prepare for over-
night storms that could spawn fast-mov-
ing tornadoes.
The threat isnt over with tonight, un-
OMAHA, Neb. Baseball-sized hail
was breakingwindows andtearingsiding
off homes in northeast Nebraska, while
tornadoes were spotted in Kansas and
Oklahoma on Saturday as forecasters
warnedresidents across the nations mid-
section to brace for life threatening
weather.
fortunately. Severe weather is possible
again tomorrow from east Texas and Ar-
kansas and up to into the Great Lakes,
said Bill Bunting, chief of operations at
the Storm Prediction Center. In Nebras-
ka, Boone County Sheriff David Spiegel
said the large hail also damaged vehicles
and shattered windows in and around Pe-
tersburg. Two possible tornadoes were
reported father south in Nebraska near
the Kansas border, according to the Na-
tional Weather Service, which confirmed
that at least one rain-wrapped tornado
touched down in southwest Kansas and
another in Oklahoma.

Large hail, tornados already seen

MIAMI George Zimmer-
man persuaded the police not
to charge him for killing un-
armed teenager Trayvon Mar-
tin, but the prosecutor has ac-
cused him of murder. Soon,
armed with unparalleled legal
advantages, Zimmerman will
get to ask a
judge to find
the killing
was justi-
fied, and if
that doesnt
work, hell
get to make
the same
case to a jury.
The wave of National Rifle
Association-backed laws that
began seven years ago in Flor-
ida and continues to sweep
the country has done more
than establish citizens right
to stand your ground, as
supporters call the laws. Its
added extra chances for peo-
ple who use lethal force to
keep their freedom that de-
fendants accused of other
crimes dont get.
While the states that have
passed stand your ground
laws continue to model them
loosely after Floridas
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and
New Hampshire put expand-
ed laws on the books last year
Florida is unique.
One area that sets Florida
apart is the next step Zimmer-
manfaces: Withthe police and
prosecutor havingweighedin,
a judge will decide whether to
dismiss the second-degree
murder charge based on
stand your ground. If Zim-
merman wins that stage, pros-
ecutors can appeal.
But in another aspect pecu-
liar to Florida, if the appeals
court sides with Zimmerman,
not only will he be forever im-
mune from facing criminal
charges, he could not even be
sued for civil damages.
Law provides Zimmerman additional chances in legal fight
Recent laws give lethal-force
defendants options other
defendants dont get.

present at the event and were
eagerly absorbing information
as they made their way through
the hangar.
Kristinia Luke, 27, a graduate
of Marywood and now an em-
ployee of the Angel Flight East
chapter in Blue Bell, said she is
humbled every day by the com-
mitment of the volunteers pilots
who transport patients.
She noted one such patient
started flying with AFE at 8
weeks old and is now 3 years
old and still being served.
The first words of the tiny pa-
tient when learning to talk were
clear prop, an aviation term
that means to clear the area
when the plane is about to take
off. Luke said this is an indica-
tion of how the pilots not only
transport patients, but truly care
and become a part of their lives.
Harry Morales, himself a pi-
lot, founded the organization in
1992.
Committed to public-benefit
flying, the Angel Flight East
chapter of the organization flew
17 missions in its first year. To-
day, almost 1,000 missions are
completed annually, ensuring
PITTSTON TWP. -- The
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Interna-
tional Airport provided the op-
portunity Saturday for the Ma-
rywood Aviators aviation club to
educate and inspire area resi-
dents with an airplane flight
costing only $20 and benefiting
Angel Flight East.
The group is a chapter of the
Angel Flight America organiza-
tion, which provides air flights
to those whose medical needs
can be met only at health care
facilities located far from their
homes.
Volunteer pilots from the air-
ports flight school made it pos-
sible to introduce area residents
to the sky, and Saturdays fair
weather made it an especially
pleasant experience.
Darrin Long, who heads Ma-
rywoods aviation club, said he
is grateful the club is able to
assist Angel Flight East. Long
also said the event provided the
opportunity to teach area resi-
dents about the specifics of avia-
tion.
He said many area youth were
that patients are able to get
needed medical attention even if
it means traveling a great dis-
tance.
The hangar was filled with
residents young and old who
had an appreciation for flight
and for the community spirit de-
fined by the event.
Cecelia OMalley, 5, enthusi-
astically used a flight simulator
to learn about flying.
We considered going to an-
other airport, said OMalleys
father, Rob, but we chose this
event because it gave us the op-
portunity to fly and to benefit a
worthy organization at the same
time.
Marywood also sponsored a
raffle and basket drawing to
raise money.
In addition, the Save-A-Life
organization presented informa-
tion at Saturdays event about
suicide prevention and family
support for those in crisis.
Long said he anticipated that
at least 1,000 people would take
advantage of the day to fly in
one of two planes, the Piper
Warrior and the Piper Archer,
made available by the airport.

LAKE TWP. -- On Wednesday,
township supervisors took ac-
tion to prevent further illegal
dumping on Sunny Acres Road
and approved three bid quotes
through the state COSTARS
Program.
Chairman Lonnie Piatt said
material from outside the town-
ship was being brought to a
property on Sunny Acres Road
and dumped. The townships or-
dinance restricts and regulates
dumping within the township.
Supervisors authorized town-
ship attorney Mark McNealis as
enforcement representative to
send a registered letter to the
property owner on the violation.
Also, the state Department of
Environmental Protection was
notified and recently met with
the property owner. Piatt said
the property owner is working
with DEP to clean it up.
Normally, they give 30 to 45
days for the homeowner to clean
up the debris, Piatt said.
Supervisors decided to take
advantage of some quotes for
material through the state-run
COSTARS Program. COSTARS
is a joint effort by the Pennsylva-
nia Department of Transporta-
tion and the Department of Gen-
eral Services to give municipal-
ities the ability to find compet-
itive prices on necessary items.
Supervisors approved a quote
from Central Clay Products for
$9.99 per 50 pound bag of mag-
nesium chloride.
Other bids were from Bradco
Supply Co., Towanda, for $11.40
per bag; and John Bonham Road
Equipment and Supply, Hones-
dale, for $11.45 a bag.
Supervisors also approved
quotes from Central Clay Prod-
ucts to purchase six pipes at
$9.50 a foot and six pipe bands
for $12.23 a piece.
Other quotes were received
from Bradco Supply and John
Bonham Road Equipment and
Supply but were a few cents
more than Central Clay Prod-
ucts, Piatt said.
American Asphalts quote for
blacktop was also approved, but
Piatt did not have the cost or the
volume of material.
In other business, Secretary
Carlene Price said $47,285.80
from FEMA was received for
damage sustained from storms
Lee and Irene in late summer.

PITTSTON TWP. -- The
members of the 1962 Pittston
Township championship Little
League baseball team relived a
part of their glory days Sat-
urday as they entered their
golden years by celebrating
the 50th anniversary of their
championship
season.
The golden
anniversary
was held ay
the Pittston
Township Lit-
tle League
complex as
part of open-
ing day festiv-
ities.
The 12
teammates,
now in their
early 60s were
part of the
Pittston Town-
ship Giants,
which com-
piled a record
of 12-8 in 1962
-- good enough
to capture the
community ti-
tle and a half
century of
bragging
rights.
Its a walk down memory
lane, said a smiling Frank Scia-
bacucci, the 1962 teams catch-
er.
Weve all remained in con-
tact over the years and we
thought this would be a great
way to celebrate the 50th anni-
versary while were all still
around.
Saturdays commemorative
event started with a group
breakfast at Perkins Pancake
House and culminated with a
formal presentation ceremony
at Pittston Townships baseball
diamond.
Ive been involved in local
Little League baseball adminis-
tration for the last 16 years,
said Fred DeSanto, anniversary
co-organizer and a member of
the 1962 team.
My Little League experience
as a child made me want to
pass the experience on to future
generations.
DeSanto gave a speech re-
counting the 1962 season along
with a brief biography of the 12
players.
It was sort of difficult con-
densing 50 years into 30 sec-
onds, joked DeSanto.
He said he plans to send an
account of the anniversary cele-
bration to the world Little
League headquarters in Wil-
liamsport to encourage other
teams to follow suit.
The members of the 1962
Pittston Township Giants are:
Danny Mulhern, Bob Moscatel-
li, Aaron Herron, Fred DeSanto,
Charlie Dietrich, Earl Stanton,
Sam Barletta, Nick Rossi, Ross
Valenti, Frank Sciabacucci, Ray
Bernardi, Tony Rostock and as-
sistant manager Pete Fiume.
Team manager John Angelel-
la is deceased.

Card of Thanks
from the
family of
the late
Kal Kazimi
The Kazimi family would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported Kal and his
family during his sickness and after his passing. This difcult time has been made easier by
your outpouring of support and generosity.
We would like to thank everyone that attended his memorial service, called or sent cards
to our residence, wrote articles or notes in the newspaper, sent owers or gifts, and those
who made memorial contributions to good causes on behalf of Kal. It was wonderful to
meet and hear from so many people and to see what an impact Kal had on their lives as
well as his community.
The Kazimi family would like to once again thank everyone for supporting us in our loss.
We are very proud of Kal and the great people who were his friends and acquaintances.
In Memory of Joanne Basar Glushefski
May we send our heartfelt thanks to all who gave so generously of
their kindness, sympathy and prayers following the death of our
beloved Joanne. We are very grateful to the many friends who came

J
ean Robbins Hughes, 81, died
Thursday of complications from
heart surgery.
Born in Scranton on August 4,
1930 to the late Elisabeth Shonk
Robbins and Walter Scott Robbins,
she was a lifelongresident of Wyom-
ingValley, a1948graduateof Wyom-
ing Seminary, a 1952 graduate of
Wheaton College in Norton, Mass.,
and a student at the Katherine
Gibbs School in New York City.
Prior to her marriage to Frank H.
Hughes in1955, Jean worked at her
familys business, the Robbins Door
& Sash Company in Wilkes-Barre.
She spent more than a decade deliv-
ering for the Meals on Wheels pro-
gram, was a longtime member of
the Wilkes-Barre Junior League and
its sustainers, and served tirelessly
as both volunteer reader and on the
Board of the Greater Wilkes-Barre
Associationfor the Blind. She sat on
numerous committees at the
Church of Christ Uniting in King-
ston, where she also taught Sunday
School for many years. In 2010 she
was honored to receive Wyoming
Seminarys Joseph C. Donchez Dis-
tinguished Service Award. Jean was
an owner of Wyoming Valley Mo-
tors.
In her spare time, Jean was an
avid supporter of the theater and at-
tended countless performances in
both Northeastern Pennsylvania
and on Broadway. She was an ex-
traordinary conversationalist, ex-
ceptional needlepoint artist, and
acted as de facto photographer for
many of her friends and family. She
loved to travel and was proud and
privileged to have visited virtually
every corner of the globe. Despite
her many journeys, she was never

knew they would be welcome.
Lewis book, Stories of the
Wilkes-Barre Titanic Passen-
gers, came out just days ago.
There was a well-established
Lebanese community here that
was thriving, and that explains
it, he said. With a few excep-
tions, it was all about the Leba-
nese community. Most of the
folks on the Titanic were related,
if they were Lebanese.
A night to remember
The Titanics sinking has be-
come part of the folklore of the
western world. The brand-new
ocean liner, hyped as the biggest
and most luxurious ever
launched, set sail on its maiden
voyage April 10, 1912, from
Southampton, England, for Cher-
bourg, France,
where it picked up
some more pas-
sengers, including
the groupfromLe-
banon.
At Queen-
stown, Ireland, it
picked up more
and then headed
westward across
the Atlantic,
scheduled to dock
in New York City.
But late on the
evening of April 14, about 375
miles south of Newfoundland,
Canada, the great ship suffered a
gash in its side as it turned in an
attempt to avoid an iceberg that
lookouts detected too late.
Historians agree that a delay in
making the decision to abandon
ship, an insufficient number of
lifeboats, poor training of the
crew and difficulty of other ships
in coming to assist combined
with the collision to produce the
greatest civilian maritime disas-
ter in history.
When the ship finally went
down in the darkness of the next
morning, about 1,500 (figures
vary) of the passengers and crew
perished about two-thirds of
the total on board. The losses
were especially heavy among
third-class passengers, who
bought the cheapest tickets and
occupied crowded conditions
known as steerage.
Survivors that night were
picked up by the ship Carpathia,
and days later they disembarked
in New York City.
Mae Thomas family
The story of the Titanic has
been part and parcel of the life of
Mae Thomas, now 87, whose
family was on board the ship. She
is immensely proud of them and
says she has never hesitated to
tell their story.
I was 6 years old in school,
she said. And the teacher
brought up the subject of the Ti-
tanic. AndI raisedmyhand. I said
my mother was a survivor of the
Titanic.
And, you know what? (the
teacher) came up here. She said
Your daughter said you were on
theTitanic. Is it true? Mymother
said My daughter doesnt lie,
and she started telling the teach-
er her experiences.
Her Rolling Mill Hill home
contains
many pho-
tos of her
mother,
Thelma
who died
Jan. 7, 1974
-- and broth-
er Assid,
who sur-
vived the
sinking, as
well as oth-
er relatives.
Her uncle,
Charles Thomas, did not survive.
Thelma, only a teenager at the
time, was en route to America
with her infant son, Assid. They
were being escorted by Charles,
to join Thelmas husband, Alex-
ander, who along with Charles
had emigrated earlier. It was
common in those days for a man
to travel to a new land first and
send for his wife and children on-
ly after he had established him-
self.
Charles remains in Mae Tho-
mas mind as an example of
steadiness in the face of sure
death.
As she tells the story, in the
crush of people struggling to get
from the third-class area to the
few remaining lifeboats, Thelma
became separated from Charles,
who was carrying Assid.
With Thelma safe in a boat,
Charles begged women getting
into the boats to take the baby
with them. With the women and
children first policy of the time,
he had little hope of saving him-
self.
Finally he found a woman to
take the child to safety. Mae Tho-
mas said that as the lifeboats
pulled away Thelma began
screaming in Arabic for her baby
and had to be restrained from
climbing back aboard the Titan-
ic.
Lacking safety equipment
Why did the Titanic, the most
luxurious ship afloat, not have
enough lifeboats? Maritime rules
of the day did not require life-
boats for all.
The prevailing assumption
was that a sturdy modern vessel
would be able to transfer all pas-
sengers and crewto a rescue ship
in a series of relays before sink-
ing.
The rule makers did not antici-
pate that a great liner would sink
as quickly as did the Titanic or
that help in the era of telegraph
communication would take so
long.
Dolores Borek Elias, of Laflin,
tells a similar story of rising to a
challenge. Her grandmother
Amenia Moubarek, 24, and her
sons, 4-year-old William and 7-
year-old George, were on board.
So were Amenias sister Celiney,
15, who was newly married, and
her husband, Antoni Yasbeck,
making a return trip to Wilkes-
Barre.
Their cabin was near the boil-
er room, and they felt the bump,
said Elias. So thats why they
were able to get up to the deck
early.
Still, the trip upward from
steerage was difficult. Led by An-
toni, the family struggled with
long passageways and locked
gates. When they were finally on
deck, hehelpedthemget through
the crowd and into the very last
lifeboat a canvas collapsible.
I really credit himwith saving
their lives because only 25 per-
cent of the people in steerage
were saved, said Dolores Elias.
He really pushed the children
andthe womeninto the lifeboat.
Antoni went down with the
ship.
Not all the people headed for
Wilkes-Barre were part of the Le-
banese group. Of the total group
connected with Wilkes-Barre, in-
cluding relatives headed else-
where, nine died in the disaster,
according to various sources.
Survivors in rough shape
When the Carpathia docked in
New York days after collecting
the lifeboats, the survivors or-
deal was nowhere near over.
They needed medical care for the
exposure and stress theyd suf-
fered.
It took weeks for some to re-
cover sufficiently to travel.
Meanwhile, newspapers
throughout America carried dai-
ly stories about the Titanic, its
victims and its survivors.
The New York Times head-
lined the death of multimillio-
naire John Jacob Astor IV.
The Wilkes-Barre Recordinter-
viewed survivors as they arrived
in town and offered words of
comfort from local clergy, some
of whomdevoted entire sermons
to the disaster.
Slowly, the survivors began to
get their lives back together. In
St. Vincents Hospital in New
York, the exhaustedThelma Tho-
mas was reunited with her baby
Assid when she recognized the
blanket shed carried him in all
the way from Hardine.
It would take many years for
Thelma to learn the identity of
the woman who had taken little
Assid into a lifeboat.
Newsmans enterprise
By chance, local newsman Da-
vid DeCosmo heard of a Califor-
nia survivor of the Titanic who
had taken a child into her life-
boat. He arranged a reunion.
The lives of survivors were not
free of difficulty afterward. Assid
Thomas died young, and Amenia
Moubarek developed fatal tuber-
culosis and entered the White
Haven sanitarium.
No survivors of the Titanic re-
main alive today.
But the descendants of survi-
vors in the Wilkes-Barre area see
themselves marked for a great re-
sponsibility. To this day, they
speak with pride of the ancestors
who survived against great odds
or faced death with grace on a
freezing North Atlantic night.
Mae Thomas who was born
after her family arrived in Amer-
ica - calls her mother my hero
and credits her with teaching by
example the virtues of courage
and self-reliance.
Dolores Borek remains in awe
of the great-uncle whose super-
human effort got his charges into
the last lifeboat. That collapsible
lifeboat, containing her family,
was photographed from the Car-
pathia the only Titanic lifeboat
to be photographed during the
rescue mission.
Descendants are proud
In this anniversary year, they
have made themselves readily
available to tell the stories of
their ancestors and keep their
memories alive.
They are scheduled to be
guests at the Luzerne County
Historical Societys annual meet-
ing Thursday when William V.
Lewis Jr. speaks on the Wilkes-
Barre group aboard the doomed
ship.
In the tradition of the brave
people sailing to a new world, of
the men who selflessly pushed
their families into the lifeboats
and of the people who struggled
to rebuild shattered families,
they are doing their part to make
sure sacrifice is not forgotten.

passengers on memorial cruise
aboard the liner Balmoral who
have spent the past week steep-
ed in the Titanics history and
symbolism, said Saturday that
the storys continuing appeal
was due to its strong mixture of
romance and tragedy, history
and fate.
(There are) all the factors
that came together for the ship
to be right there, then, to hit
that iceberg. All the stories of
the passengers who ended up on
the ship, said Edwards, a 62-
year-old retiree from Silver
Spring, Maryland. Its just a
microcosm of social history,
personal histories, nautical
histories.
Romance is an appropriate
word right up until the time of
the tragedy the band playing,
the clothes. And then theres the
tragedy.
The worlds largest and most
luxurious ocean liner, Titanic
was traveling from England to
New York, carrying everyone
from plutocrats to penniless
emigrants, when it struck an
iceberg at 11:40 p.m. on April 14,
1912. It sank less than three
hours later, with the loss of
more than 1,500 of the 2,208
passengers and crew.
Aboard the Balmoral, a cruise
ship taking history buffs and
descendants of Titanic victims
on the route of the doomed
voyage, passengers and crew
were to hold two ceremonies at
the site of the disaster, 400
miles off the coast of Newfoun-
dland one marking the time
when the ship hit the iceberg,
the other the moment it sank
below the waves.
At 2:20 a.m. ships time today
0547 GMT or 12:47 a.m.
EDT a minister will lead
prayers, floral wreaths will be
thrown into the sea and a ship-
board band, which has been
entertaining guests in the eve-
nings during the cruise, will
play Nearer My God To Thee,
the tune the Titanics band kept
up as the vessel went down.
I dont think there will be a
dry eye, said Derek Chambers
of Belfast, Northern Ireland,
who is spending his honeymoon
on the cruise with his wife,
Lynn. The great-grandson of a
carpenter who worked on the
ship, he has a tatoo of Titanic
inked on one forearm, the face
of ships captain Edward Smith
on the other.
Edwards earlier was to hold
her own private act of remem-
brance. She is carrying the ash-
es of family friend Adam Lackey,
a Titanic buff from Montana
who died last year, and planned
to scatter them at the wreck
site.
Passengers aboard the cruise,
which left Southampton, En-
gland, on April 8, have enjoyed
lectures on Titanic history, as
well as the usual cruise-ship
recreations of bridge, shuffle-
board and lounging in a hot tub.
Many have dressed in period
costume for elaborate balls and
a formal dinner recreating the
last meal served aboard the
ship.
Some of the passengers have a
direct link to the ship, through
an ancestor who was onboard.
Most feel some sort of connec-
tion to an event whose ripples
have resonated for a century.
Edwards said the lives of her
grandparents, who married in
1911, were marked by the disas-
ter even though they lived far
away in Montana.
They had talked about going
back to Sweden to see his par-
ents, and they didnt because of
the Titanic, she said.
Another cruise ship, Journey,
left New York on Tuesday and
was to join Balmoral at the site.
In Belfast, Northern Ireland,
where the Titanic was built
the pride of the Harland & Wolff
shipyard thousands attended
a choral requiem at the Anglican
St. Annes Cathedral or a nation-
ally televised concert at the
citys Waterfront Hall on Sat-
urday.
The city spent decades
scarred by its link to the disas-
ter, but has come to take pride
in the feats of engineering and
industry involved in building
the Titanic.
The memorial concert fea-
tured performances by Bryan
Ferry and soul singer Joss
Stone, as well as 100 drummers
beating out a new percussion
work, Titanic Drums. In film
clips, actors including Kenneth
Branagh, Simon Callow and
Imelda Staunton read from
contemporary accounts of those
who built the ship and sailed on
it.
At the cathedral, the perform-
ance of composer Philip Ham-
monds The Requiem for the
Lost Souls of the Titanic was
being followed by a torch-lit
procession to the Titanic Memo-
rial in the grounds of Belfast
city hall.

HARRISBURG Seeking to
accentuate the positive in an in-
stitution thats often perceived
in a negative light, Temple Uni-
versity student researchers have
produced a greatest achieve-
ments list of the most impor-
tant laws passed by Pennsylva-
nias General Assembly in mod-
ern times.
To ease the suspense, No. 1 is
the personal income tax.
The study, part of a larger
Temple research project on the
General Assembly, was modeled
on similar national studies of
Congress output and guided by
Temple faculty members.
Students Shelly Forrester and
Van Huynh, political science
majors who served as legislative
interns in the fall of 2010 as part
of Temples Capital Semester
program, sought to compare the
impact of the most significant
laws approved between 1968
the year of Pennsylvanias last
constitutional convention
and 2008.
With input from top lawyers
for more than 30 state agencies
and help from a bipartisan panel
of experts, they identified 50
laws or groups of related laws.
They were ranked based on
their scores in questionnaires
completed by 148 legislators, ex-
lawmakers, governors aides, re-
porters and academics.
This is not really hard social
science ... but they followed a
very systematic regimen, said
Joseph McLaughlin, director of
the universitys Institute for
Public Affairs.
Of the 10 laws judged to have
the most impact, two involved
health care, two involved collec-
tive bargaining rights for public
employees and two involved
gambling.
The personal income tax was
enacted in 1971 after more than
a decade of unsuccessful efforts
by governors from both parties
to enact one. Pennsylvania was
the 43rd state to do so. The flat
3.07 percent levy is now the
largest source of state tax reve-
nue, generating more than $10
billion a year.
Also making the list:
2: The Public Employee Rela-
tions Act, approved in 1970, giv-
ing public employees in Penn-
sylvania to organize and bargain
collectively with employers, as
well as a limited right to strike.
3: The Childrens Health In-
surance Program. Enacted in
1992, CHIP provides free or
low-cost health coverage for
nearly 200,000 uninsured chil-
dren and teenagers not enrolled
in the Medical Assistance pro-
gram.
4: The PACE and PACENET
programs. These related pro-
grams, approved separately
more than a decade apart, pro-
vide low-cost prescription drugs
for low-income senior citizens
and are funded largely by state
lottery revenue.
5: Laws creating the Depart-
ment of Environmental Re-
sources in the early 1970s. It has
since been renamed the Depart-
ment of Environmental Protec-
tion.
6: The 1971 law creating the
Pennsylvania Lottery.
7: The Public Safety Emer-
gency Telephone Act, approved
in 1990, that provided a toll-free
911 number to request emergen-
cy aid.
8: The Sunshine Act, ap-
proved in 1986, establishing citi-
zens right to attend meetings of
public bodies at which decisions
are discussed and made.
9: The Police and Firefighter
Collective Bargaining Law, ap-
proved in 1968, giving police
and firefighters the right to col-
lective bargaining and binding
arbitration.
10: The 2004 law that legal-
ized slot-machine gambling in
Pennsylvania and the 2006 law
that set up a system for dis-
tributing the portion of slots
revenue dedicated to local prop-
erty-tax relief. On Friday, Gov.
Tom Corbett certified that near-
ly $783 million will be available
this year.
McLaughlin said the students
spent several months finishing
the project after their Harris-
burg semester was over and
that both women got As.
People like lists, he said.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. Former
Vice President Dick Cheney
walked onstage without any as-
sistance and spoke for an hour
and 15 minutes without seem-
ing to tire in his first public en-
gagement since he underwent a
heart transplant three weeks
ago.
He sat in a plush chair
throughout the long chat with
daughter Liz Cheney but looked
better, even, than during recent
appearances where he has been
gaunt and used a cane.
Cheney even threw in a cou-
ple of political plugs amid much
reminiscing at the Wyoming Re-
publican Party state convention
in Cheyenne on Saturday.
He said presumptive Repub-
lican presidential nominee Mitt
Romney is going to do a whale
of a job. He said its never been
more important than now to de-
feat a sitting president and the
Republican Party should unite
behind Romney.
He has been an unmitigated
disaster to the country, Cheney
said of President Barack Oba-
ma.
Cheneys heart transplant in
Virginia on March 24 initially
canceled his trip to the state
party convention but he got last-
minute medical clearance to go.
Im not running any foot
races yet but it wont be long,
he said.
He owed a huge debt to the
unknown donor of his new
heart, he said, and to medical
technology. He did not take the
opportunity to weigh in on
health care politics.
He didnt stumble in his
words and his voice was clear
I was amazed he was able to
say so much over the whole
course of an hour, said one del-
egate to the convention, Helen
Bishop, of Moran in Jackson
Hole. I thought it would be a
really brief, hi.
Cheney neither arrived early
nor stuck around to shake
hands: It was fly-in, fly-out.
Bishop speculated he might
soon return to Jackson Hole,
where he has a home in the ex-
clusive Teton Pines neighbor-
hood. He is an avid fly fisher-
man.
Nearly all of the talk traced
the more than 40 years of Che-
neys political career, including
the controversial waterboarding
and other interrogation practic-
es the Bush administration em-
ployed to extract information
from terrorist suspects.

HARRISBURG A safe pre-
diction about the upcoming pri-
maryforseatsinthePennsylvania
Legislature: April 24 will be a
goodday for incumbents.
Tensenatorsand85representa-
tives face no opposition whatso-
ever this year, and the other 133
districtswill inmost casesbecon-
tested only in No-
vember.
Just four sitting
senators and 28 in-
cumbent represen-
tatives have an op-
ponent in the pri-
mary, which mat-
ters because so
many districts are
either overwhelmingly Republi-
canor widely Democratic.
Both chambers are now firmly
under the control of the Republi-
cans, 112-91 in the House and 30-
20 inthe Senate.
Theres a lackof political com-
petitionat thestatelevel that real-
ly is problematic for democracy,
said Joseph DiSarro, who chairs
the political science department
at Washington & Jefferson Col-
lege, southwest of Pittsburgh. In
the end, what you get is a lack of
political initiatives in the Legisla-
ture to deal with policy problems
the commonwealthis facing.
Voter turnout is generally low
for legislative primaries, and this
year the Democrats do not have a
contested presidential nomina-
tion race and the Republican bat-
tlehas lost muchof its steam. The
top-of-the-ticket interest is not
what it could be, at least not for
the primary.
Most people, at best, they
knowtheirstaterepresentativeor
their state senator, said Thomas
Baldino, apolitical scienceprofes-
soratWilkesUniversityinWilkes-
Barre. They dont follow Harris-
burg politics and they are not
clued in to the issues that con-
front their district.
If they were, the primary could
be a referendumon public school
anduniversityfunding, social ser-
vices spending, the recently en-
acted Marcellus Shale revenue
and regulation law, a proposal to
shrink the size of the Legislature,
gun rights and gun control, prop-
erty taxes, school
vouchers, business
taxes, liquor store
systemprivatization,
welfare rules and the
need to rebuild the
states roads and
bridges.
The Republican
campaign theme,
said Sen. Joe Scarnati, R-Jeffer-
son, will be jobs, jobs, jobs.
Were going to look forward to
our vision for Pennsylvania,
Scarnati said. Not What have
youdone for me lately, but What
are yougoing to do for me?
Gov. Tom Corbetts weak poll
numbers may present a challenge
for Republican lawmakers, but
that could turn around this sum-
mer after the state budget passes,
said Rep. Dave Reed, R-Indiana,
his caucus leading campaign
strategist.
Theres a lot of time between
now and the fall to determine
what the governors popularity
will be, saidReed.

Fagula says the considerable
stock of public and subsidized
housing units in Luzerne Coun-
ty is just not enough to meet the
demand in todays economy.
Thousands on waiting lists
A Times Leader survey of the
five housing authorities in Lu-
zerne County, whichinclude the
county authority and city au-
thorities in Hazleton, Nanti-
coke, Pittston and Wilkes-Barre,
found there are 20 high-rises
and 21 family developments of-
fering public subsi-
dized housing.
Those complexes
contain nearly 3,300
apartments or
homes ranging from
efficiencies to five-
bedroom units. But
the number of appli-
cants waiting for
one of those units to
become available is
more than double
the inventory
6,716 as of March
30.
The figures do not
include the 25 pri-
vate developments
in Luzerne County
under contract with
the U.S. Depart-
ment of Housing
and Urban Develop-
ment to provide subsidized
housing to low-income individ-
uals and families. Waiting lists
for those units also are quite
long, officials have said.
Generally, a low-income resi-
dent will pay 30 percent of
household income toward rent
and the difference is subsidized
with funding from HUD, Fagula
said.
HUD sets fair market rents,
which differ according to metro-
politan areas, and gives housing
authorities annual allocations
to make up the difference be-
tween what the low-income
renters pay and the market rent.
HUD also funds the Housing
Choice Voucher Program, com-
monly referred to as Section 8
and administered by local hous-
ing authorities.
Under that program, an appli-
cant who meets income guide-
lines receives a voucher to pre-
sent to a landlord. The voucher
guarantees that HUD will pay
the landlord the difference be-
tween 30 percent of the individ-
uals income and the fair market
rent in the area.
There were nearly 1,200 indi-
viduals or families on waiting
lists for Housing Choice vouch-
ers in Luzerne County as of
March 30.
Continual rise in requests
Dave Ritter, director of hous-
ing for the Commission on Eco-
nomic Opportunity in Wilkes-
Barre, said CEO has seen a con-
tinual increase in requests for
housing assistance over the last
several years.
We see a lot of families com-
peting for a limited number of
safe, affordable units. A lot of
times, housing authorities will
have long waiting lists. We have
hundreds of families looking for
housing, Ritter said.
CEO refers clients to apply at
housing authorities and privately
owned subsidized housing devel-
opments, as well as to the few
transitional housing agencies,
Ritter said.
Transitional housing, run by
nonprofit agen-
cies, is designed
to be a short-term
solution for
homeless families
and individuals
until affordable
housing becomes
available.
The waiting
lists for transi-
tional housing are
large as well.
Kristen Topol-
ski, director of
Ruths Place, said
the shelter houses
18 to 20 women
per night. Last
year, Ruths Place
sheltered 256
homeless women.
A lot has to do
with the job mar-
ket. And there are landlords who
can no longer afford their mort-
gages, so their tenants become
displaced. Ive been in housing15
years now and certainly theres a
trendaneedfor moresafe, affor-
dable housing, Topolski said.
HUD formula seen as
problem
Several factors are contribut-
ing to the affordable housing cri-
sis, not only in Luzerne County,
but nationally.
Locally, housing directors say
HUDs formula for fair market
rents presents a major obstacle.
Fagula, of the county housing
authority, said the fair market
rent set by HUD for the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton metropolitan ar-
ea is unrealistically low it was
reduced 7.5 percent so land-
lords are less willing to accept
Housing Choice vouchers.
And, HUD bases next years
funding partly on how much
funding was used this year. If ap-
plicants who hold vouchers cant
find landlords willing to take
them this year, funding for Sec-
tion 8 will be cut next year, he
said.
And, Fagula said, HUD has
been underfunding housing au-
thorities for several years, in con-
flict withwhat HUDs ownformu-
las determine authorities should
receive based on their needs.
Last year, we only received
78 percent of the fees we earned.
This year, we only expect to re-
ceive 80 percent, Fagula said.
Liz Hersh, executive director
of the Housing Alliance of Penn-
sylvania, said the fair market
rent HUD set for Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton discourages private
developers from building more
affordable housing here.
Tax credits are available for
developers of low-income hous-
ing, but developers would rath-
er build in places such as Phila-
delphia and Lancaster, where
fair market rents are substan-
tially higher and they can derive
more rental income to pay off
their construction loans, Hersh
said.
Adding to the housing prob-
lem are natural gas industry
workers in Pennsylvanias
northern counties. They can af-
ford higher rents, so landlords
there are raising rents and forc-
ing out lower-income tenants,
who are moving south to find
cheaper housing, Hersh said.
Hersh and Fagula agree that
HUD needs to re-examine its
fair market rent formulas and
state and federal legislators
should allocate more funding
for housing assistance, or more
Americans are going to become
homeless.
I think sometimes folks in
Harrisburg believe (HUD fund-
ing represents) a bunch of bu-
reaucrats grabbing at dollar
bills. But its people with mental
and physical disabilities, senior
citizens, people who have fallen
on hard times, and its a helping
hand for them, Hersh said.

Danelle Jones, who lost her job as a certified nursing assistant,
says she spends at least four hours a day seeking housing.
HOUSING
Tax credits are avail-
able for developers of
low-income housing,
but developers would
rather build in places
such as Philadelphia
and Lancaster, where
fair market rents are
substantially higher
and they can derive
more rental income to
pay off their construc-
tion loans, said Liz
Hersh, executive direc-
tor of the Housing
Alliance of Pennsylva-
nia.
The Secret Service did not dis-
close the nature of the miscon-
duct.
The White House said Obama
had been briefed about the in-
cidents but would not comment
on his reaction.
The president does have full
confidence in the United States
Secret Service, presidential
spokesman Jay Carney said.
Carney insisted the matter
was more a distraction for the
media than Obama. But Secret
Service assistant director Paul
Morrissey said in a statement:
We regret any distraction from
the Summit of the Americas this
situation has caused.
Rep. Peter King, chairman of
the House Homeland Security
Committee, said after he was
briefed on Saturday that close
to all 11 of the agents involved
had brought women back to
their rooms at a hotel separate
from where Obama is now stay-
ing.
The New York Republican
said the women were presumed
to be prostitutes but investiga-
tors were interviewing the
agents.
King said he was told that any-
one visiting the hotel overnight
was required to leave identifica-
tion at the front desk and leave
the hotel by 7 a.m. When a wom-
an failed to do so, it raised ques-
tions among hotel staff and po-
lice, who investigated. They
found the woman with the agent
in the hotel room and a dispute
arose over whether the agent
should have paid her. King said
he was told that the agent did
eventually pay the woman.
The incident was reported to
the U.S. embassy, prompting fur-
ther investigation, King said
The 11 employees in question
were special agents and Uni-
formed Division Officers. None
were assigned to directly protect
Obama. All were sent home and
replaced, Morrissey said, given
the nature of the allegations
and a zero tolerance policy on
personal misconduct.
The Secret Service says the in-
cidents have had no bearing on
its ability to provide security for
Obamas stay in Colombia.
Another jolt came Saturday
when the U.S. Southern Com-
mand said five service members
assigned to support the Secret
Service violated their curfew
and may have been involved in
inappropriate conduct. Carney
said it was part of the same in-
cident involving the Secret Ser-
vice.

L
ower East Northampton Street in
Wilkes-Barre isnt what it used to
be.
Its neat and tidy with really nice
buildings. Uggghhh!
For much of the 20th century it
served as the citys wholesale district.
Companies that supplied the hundreds
upon hundreds of small neighborhood
stores throughout the area with every-
thing from a case of Hershey with
almonds to a card full of little packets
of bobby pins made their headquarters
and kept their stock there.
If you went down there in those
years you found a phantasmagoria of
sight, aroma and sound a veritable
bazaar for youthful senses.
Years ago my parents operated a
small variety store on East Market
Street, just a block over and halfway up
Brewery Hill. Once a week a salesman
from each of our preferred wholesalers
would stop by, chew the fat with my
dad for a while and leave a page in
his order book filled with notations
about shoe polish, cartons of Tarey-
tons, packets of aspirin, balsa wood
planes with wind-up propellers or
whatever else his house specialized in.
But sometimes on a Saturday dad
and I would have to hop in the station
wagon and trek down to East North-
ampton because, business being only
imperfectly predictable, we had run out
of twisty Italian cigars or boxes of
home permanent wave.
The first thing that struck you about
the three blocks between South Main
Street and the railroad tracks was the
busy-ness. It was all noise, horns blar-
ing, people rushing about on myste-
rious errands. There was always at
least one truck, double-parked, un-
loading crate after crate of something
or other fresh from the docks of New
York City or the wilds of Asia while
harried men waved their arms and
shouted at other harried men to get
those boxes inside faster.
While my dad placed his orders and
clerks rushed to fill them, I explored
these great emporiums of commerce.
We bought a lot of stuff from Rubin
Specialty and Grosco Products. But for
sheer sybaritic indulgence, my favorite
places were Klein Candy Co., Key
Stores and Sperling Tobacco. Even if
your names Willie Wonka you dont
know candy until youve inhaled a wild
atmospheric soup of chocolate, pepper-
mint, caramel, peanut butter and lico-
rice all at once.
Of course I didnt smoke (still dont),
but on wings of exotic tobaccos I en-
joyed imaginary travel to desert oases
and suggestions of adult pleasure in
hazy parlors as my dad and his buddy
behind the counter agreed on how all
the worlds problems could be solved if
the politicians would only
Well, that whole part of town is no
more. The very concept of a wholesale
district became history when people
stopped buying at neighborhood stores
and took their business to malls and
shopping centers, whose stores dealt
directly with manufacturers and impor-
ters.
The coup de grace fell on an already-
reeling lower East Northampton in
June of 1972 when a fire consumed
many of the remaining buildings, burn-
ing them right down to the water line
of the Tropical Storm Agnes flood one
terrible day.
I drive through that area today fre-
quently. Its clean and quiet from the
14-screen movie theatre through Heri-
tage House and the Bnai Brith Apart-
ments all the way past a fast-food eat-
ery, a pharmacy and a car wash. For a
modern urban landscape you probably
cant ask anything more.
Except maybe a crate of Sky Bars
and 200 tins of itching powder and a
whole bunch of people trying to get
their trucks unloaded.

aren Hatalski is the owner of the Form You 3 Weight Loss
Center in Wilkes-Barre. She attended Hanover Area High
School and received a degree in Psychology from Bloomsburg
University. We asked her age; she declined. She resides in Ha-
nover Township.
How did you get interested in the
business and howdid you come to own
Form You 3? I have always had an in-
terest in health and nutrition. I knewthe
woman that owned the center previous-
ly. I took a part time position as a tele-
marketer in 1987. I eventually became a
weight loss counselor and that led to be-
coming a manager. In 1996, I bought the
business and this year we celebrated 30
years of existence dating back to 1982.
So what exactly is the weight loss
program you offer at Form You 3 and
what fuels your passion for running
the business? It is a common sense
approach to healthy eating and main-
taining a positive attitude while mod-
ifying ones habits or behaviors. The
ideaof changingsomeones lifewithhealth
and wellness is the underlying theme be-
hind my passion for the business. I love to
see the smile on a persons face when you
can tell their life is changing for the better
both physically and personally.
What jobs did you have growing up? I
have always consideredmyself tobe a peo-
ple person. I used that quality in fast food
restaurants during high school and then as
a telemarketer during college.
When you are not at work what do you
like to do? Where do you like to go? I love
spending time with family and friends.
Summer weather and sunshine usually
leads to the beach and Ocean City, Md.
Some day I would love to travel to Italy and
experience the people and their culture
there. Locally I like to take advantage of all
the opportunities that the Wyoming Valley
has to offer.
What isyour favoritefoodanddrink?I
love chocolate and white zinfandel wine.
What movies or television shows do
you like? I really enjoyed The Help with
Emma Stone. I also enjoy watching Penn
State football and Steelers games.
Do you have a favorite quote or say-
ing? If you believe it, you can achieve it.
What was your very first automobile?
A red Toyota Corolla that my dad refur-
bished. Its funny. I remember the car had a
starter button to make it work.
What have been some of the proudest
momentsinyour life?I wouldsaytheday
I bought this business was very prideful in
regards to my professional life. However,
taking care of my parents when they were
ill, that was a very special time that I will
never forget.

laine Saunders steppedintoBachrachs Millinery innorthwest
Washington one late winter day in1953, and there it was, call-
ing her name: a pale fuchsia straw hat with an upturned brim
and matching rosebuds circling the crown. Its a Mr. John, Saun-
ders, now 77, recalls without explanation, certain the designers
name alone says this was no ordinary hat.
For generations, church
sanctuaries across the nation
on Sunday mornings, espe-
cially in black churches and
especially on Easter, trans-
formed into a collage of hats:
straw ones, felt ones, velvet
ones, every shape, size and
color, with bows, jewels and
feathers, reaching for the
heavens.
But anyone walking into

see a nonstop parade of wom-
en making fashion state-

She paid $5 to put it on lay-
away and made regular in-
stallments until shed cov-
ered the $35 cost. When she
finally clutched the gold
braided handle of the pink
floral hat box and strutted
out of theshop, sheknewthat
this final touch to her pale
pink Easter suit would place
her among the best-dressed
young ladies at Zion Baptist
Church. And that would be
no small feat, since every
proper church lady back
then wore hats - their
finest, of course,
on Easter.

NAMES AND FACES
Zikowski
Mattaucchi
sorely disappointed. Many
daughters and granddaughters
of the women who made bold
and flashy hats synonymous
with the black church have not
carried on the tradition.
Anita Saunders, 42, Elaines
youngest daughter, who lives in
Indianapolis, grew up watching
her mothers generation flaunt
their hats in church.
And I always loved it, she
says. It was part of Sunday, the
experience of the hats. We
looked forward to seeing what
hat sister so-and-so was going to
wear. My friends, we all grewup
inthe same churchwithmothers
who wore hats, but we dont.
And so, yes, it seems its fading
out.
The National Museumof Afri-
can American History and Cul-
ture, under construction on the
National Mall, will immortalize
one source of this traditionwhen
it re-creates the hat shop of Mae
Reeves, a 99-year-old milliner
who was one of the first black fe-
male business owners in down-
town Philadelphia.
In the 1940s and 50s, Maes
Millinery made one-of-a-kind
creations for the stars, including
Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne,
Eartha Kitt and Marian Ander-
son, as well as some of the citys
most prominent socialites, who
sometimes rolled up in a limou-
sine.
But it was the regular church
ladies, black and white, who
made up about half of the shops
business and helped keep the
place open for 50 years, buying
showstoppers for Sunday
morning, said Reeves daughter,
Donna Limerick, a documentary
producer for a Maryland-based
company who went to work in
her mothers shop when she was
15.
Like Reeves, who lives in a
suburban Philadelphia nursing
home, many of the most cele-
brated African American milli-
ners arewell past retirement age.
In Washington, D.C., Vanilla
Beane, maker of the famed cre-
ations worn by late civil rights
and womens activist Dorothy
Height, is 92. Though Beane is
still making hats, few younger
business owners have taken up
the art.
By 1987, Mae Reeves was 75
years old, and most of her cus-
tomers were fellow seniors.
Even though business was
declining, Mae kept the shop
running by taking orders from
her special clients, up until 1997,
whenshe was 85 years old, Lim-
erick says.
By then, Limerick had found
her way back to hats, and she
nowwears themall the time. As
she crisscrosses the Washing-
tonregionthese days tospeakat
luncheons and teas about her
mothers career, she uses volun-
teer models to show off selec-
tions from the vintage Reeves
collection. Many women tell
her, I have hats from my moth-
er and other relatives, but I
dont wear them, or Hats dont
look good on me, Limerick
says.
But many of the women get
inspired by the show to give
hats a try.
I promptly remind themthat
Mae always tells women to have
at least one special hat that you
can put on, strut out the door,
and say, Here I am, world. I feel
good, and I know I look good.
As Saunders sees it, there
will be a set of women who will
wear hats forever.

University is one of 16 colleg-

recognized by University
Business magazines Models
of Efficiency program, which
is sponsored by Higher One, a
technology and payment ser-
vices company serving higher
education. The Models of
Efficiency program recognizes
innovative approaches for
streamlining higher education
operations through technol-
ogy or business process im-
provements.

streamlining its registration
and student admissions offic-
es. The college created a one-
stop shop housing the offices
of registrar, financial aid,
admissions processing and
cashier.
The school cross trained
employees for flexibility and
introduced regular, ongoing
training sessions. The online
systems were simplified, mak-
ing it easier for students to
navigate, which increased
online enrollment and re-
duced traffic at the Student
Center.
Eighty-five percent of stu-
dents now register online.
Phone wait times have been
curtailed and with the new
online system, students can
check important documents
from their dorm. The uni-
versity has cut printing and
postage expenses and reduced
operating costs.
Models of Efficiency is an
ongoing recognition program.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. Before they took
the field as the home team this season,
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees re-
ceived a reminder from their manager
Dave Miley.
Miley told us make
sure we wear the right
pants, Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre outfielder
DeWayne Wise said.
Because were all over
the place.
Forgive the Triple-A
Yankees if they some-
times seem a bit con-
fused.
But a whole season
playing on the road has
way of playing tricks on
a team.
The Yankees certain-
ly wont forget Saturday
afternoon, when Wise
drilled a homer as one
of his two RBI hits and
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre captured its first
home game away from home by besting
the Syracuse Chiefs 6-3 at Alliance Bank
Stadium.
Thats the place Syracuse normally
calls home.

and famous. He is talented and tainted.
He is what the Yankees have been all
about since the late George Steinbren-
ner began running them four decades
ago.
But you cant buy the kind of passion
A-Rod evokes.
Like his pinstriped team, people
either love him or they hate him, may-
be more for who he is than what he
does.
What he did Friday was make him-
self noticed.
His first home run of the season, an
impressive shot to dead center field in
the home opener at Yankee Stadium,
signaled a renewed interest in A-Rod.
Because that shot was his 630th
career home run, tying his former
Seattle teammate, Ken Griffey Jr., for
fifth place on baseballs all-time list.
Obviously, Griff is special to me,
Rodriguez said.
The names directly ahead of him
now hold a sacred place in baseball
history, starting with Willie Mays and
his 660 homers.
Sitting just 30 homers away, A-Rod
should pass him this year.
Its something people will follow,
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. I
will definitely pay attention. I knew he
tied Ken Griffey Jr. (Friday).
I think its something to follow.
Two sides to a star
After that, A-Rod will try to pound
his way into the 700 club, which in-
cludes three names: Babe Ruth, Hank
Aaron and Barry Bonds.
Bonds leads the list with 762 career
homers, but that bloated number was
enhanced by his suspected use of ste-
roids. His run to the top of baseballs
most prestigious record became so
tainted, baseball officials once consid-
ered putting an asterisk next to his
name in the record books.
Its likely the book on A-Rods career
will read the same way, since he ad-
mitted using performance-enhancing
drugs during his short stay with the
Texas Rangers. He swore he hasnt
used them before or since.
But who knows which version of the
truth A-Rods telling?
You never dream of world cham-
pionships or reaching milestones,
Rodriguez said.
If thats true, why did he negotiate
his own trade to Yankees in 2004, say-
ing they gave him the best chance to
win a World Series?
My focus comes back to the team,
and helping the team win, Rodriguez
said.
If he was really such a team player,
A-Rod would have stuck it out in Seat-
tle with Griffey instead of following the
big money to Texas while the Mariners
were building toward a championship.
I love the game of baseball, theres
no secret there, A-Rod said. I dont
allow myself to be a fan of what Im
trying to do.
Yet, he loves the limelight and seems
to crave attention, so much that he
created a stir by re-signing with the
Yankees in the middle of the 2007
World Series.
When the Los Angeles Angels came
to New York with Albert Pujols, base-
balls newest $100 million man, it has
to drive A-Rod crazy. He wasnt going
to be upstaged on his home turf in the
home opener.
Im kind of laying in the weeds,
letting other players get this much
attention, A-Rod said.
Almost like a snake in the grass.

PLYMOUTH TWP.
Ten-year-old Gary Coop-
er admitted he had
trouble sleeping on
Friday night.
He woke up at mid-
night and again at 5 a.m.
before finally deciding
to stay awake.
The reason for Coop-
ers insomnia could be
found in the basket
staked to the shoreline
of Moon Lake park on
Saturday morning. In-
side were five brook
trout that Cooper reeled
in during the first two
hours of the opening
day of trout season on
Saturday.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. While
the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadel-
phia Flyers are playing a gripping play-
off series, a man who played in the
NHL for both organizations graced
Northeastern Pennsylvania with his
presence Saturday.
Dave Schultz, who to some put the
bully in the Broad Street Bullies, was
the featured speaker for the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins Hockey 101
day at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Theres a lot of people here who
grew up going to games in Philadel-
phia, Schultz said. Theres a lot of
passionate fans of both teams.
Fans got a look at every facet of the
arena and the game, from ice level to
the skyboxes, startingfive hours before
the puck drop Saturday night against
the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. The day
included time to talk with Schultz,
known as The Hammer during his
eight seasons in the NHL.
It really wasnt anything specific,
Schultz said of his talk with area fans.
Let me tell you, though, there was this
one kid who was a major Penguins fan.
He totally didnt thinkit was funny that
his dad wanted a picture with me in a
Flyers jersey.
Schultz, now in commercial energy
sales, was once the most feared en-
forcer in the NHL. He set the league re-
cord for penalty minutes with 472 in
1974-75 with the Flyers, and finished
his pro career with more than 4,100
minutes. He led the NHL in penalty

(Ray) Bourque and (Dave)
Andreychuk, and I think we
would make a call-up, Guerin
said.
In 1998, the Oilers pulled a
surprising first round upset
when they eliminated the Ava-
lanche in seven games. Exhaust-
ed by their emotional upset, the
Oilers lost to Dallas in the
next round but
Gue-
rin views that postseason as a
success.
Beating Colorado in seven
games, that was pretty big, he
said. You always wish you went
further, but that was pretty
special and we didnt take it for
granted.
While Stanley Cup wins and
first round upsets are obvious
highs, Guerin did endure several
lows during his postseason
career.
Eight times Guerins team
was eliminated in the first
round, and three seasons his
team failed to make the postsea-
son at all.
It was a miserable feeling. It
stinks, Guerin said. Even
getting knocked out in the first
round was tough. Youre basical-
ly on break for five months and
theres still six weeks of hockey
left.
Perhaps the most enjoyable
feeling the Guerin recalls from
his playoff days doesnt neces-
sarily revolve around wins, but
rather how the postseason
brings a team together. He
compares it how a hardship
brings a family together,
and its something he
hopes this years Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins
appreciate it as they em-
bark on the postseason.
It galvanizes a team
big time, Guerin said.
You go through the
highs and lows together,
and you come through
it together.
Theres still guys
from the 1995 Devils
team that Im close
with, and I still have a
bond with the guys
from in Pittsburgh. Its
unbreakable. Its a bond
that only playoffs can create.
said. After losing the year be-
fore, we knew the process we
had to go through, the work we
had to put in and the highs and
lows we would face. We were
prepared.
Guerin missed the NHL play-
offs only three times in his 18
seasons, and despite being in
the postseason so often, he
always cherished each opportu-
nity.
And even if his team didnt
reach the final, Guerin didnt
always feel that the postseason
was a failure.
In fact,
depending
on the cir-
cumstances,
he appreciat-
ed it even
more.
In the late
1990s as a
member of the
Edmonton
Oilers, Guerin
remembers the
postseason bat-
tles against league
powerhouses such
as the Colorado Ava-
lanche and the Dallas Stars.
They were the classic example
of small market team versus the
upper echelon.
(Colorado) would trade for
For years, Bill Guerin couldnt
watch the NHL playoffs.
He wanted nothing to do with
them.
The way Guerin saw it, if his
team was eliminated in the first
round or failed to make the
playoffs, he just couldnt bring
himself to watch those players
whose seasons had yet to end.
It hurt me too much, Guerin
said. I went through a stretch
of about 10 years before I really
started watching playoff hockey
after my season was done.
Its all part of the emotional
roller coaster that hockey play-
ers endure during the postsea-
son, and Guerin experienced the
highs and lows during his 18-
year NHL career, which includes
two Stanley Cups.
Now a player development
coach for Pittsburgh, Guerin
spent last week in Wilkes-Barre
working with the Penguins both
on the ice during practice and
away from it, sharing his post-
season experiences with the
teams younger players.
His message: Dont be in a
rush to get through it. Its gone
in a flash, Guerin said. You
have to go through the process
and enjoy it.
Thats one of the quick les-
sons Guerin received in 1992 as
a rookie fresh out of Boston
College. He played in five regu-
lar season games with the New
Jersey Devils that year before
being thrust into his first NHL
playoffs. Guerin scored three
goals in six games before the
Devils were eliminated by New
York Rangers in a seven-game
first round series.
It was a time when Guerin
learned the importance of keep-
ing ones emotions in check.
After the Devils lost the first
game of the series in Madison
Square Garden, Guerin went
back to his hotel and sat down
with teammate Claude Le-
mieux, general manager Lou
Lamoriello and a few other
players.
He was shocked at what he
saw.
The guys were having a
couple of beers and they were
upbeat and positive, Guerin
said. I couldnt believe they
werent kicking trash cans and
flipping tables.
But they just put that game
behind them, moved on and
were looking ahead to the next
game. Thats when I learned you
control your emotions and pre-
pare as a professional.
Two years later, Guerin expe-
rienced his first run deep into
the postseason when the Devils
made it to the conference finals
before losing to the Rangers in
seven games. Guerin experi-
enced the physical grind of a
lengthy playoff run and the
mental toll of coming up just
short.
Its hard and, at the time,
youre not happy and it hurts,
he said. That one little step,
and we missed. But most teams
learn from it, and we did.
The biggest lesson, Guerin
said, was learning what it takes
to win.
The next season, Guerin and
the Devils did just that when
they swept the Detroit Red
Wings in the Stanley Cup Final.
Nobody comes into this
knowing what it takes to win.
Unless you actually experience
it, its going to be a mystery, he
(A playoff run) galvanizes a team big time. You go through the highs and
lows together, and you come through it together.
That time of year
Bill Guerin won his second Stanley
Cup as a member of the Pitts-
burgh Penguins in 2009.
By TOMVENESKY
Penguins player development coach Bill Guerin talks with rookie
Brian Gibbons during a recent Wilkes-Barre/Scranton practice.
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins have three players who
will be experiencing a playoff
series for the first time. Forwards
Brian Gibbons and Matt Rust,
along with defenseman Cody Wild
all played college hockey before
turning pro. Since the college
postseason doesnt match up
teams for a playoff series, all three
players will be experiencing the
grind of a series for the first time.
Forward Brandon DeFazio and
defenseman Phil Samuelsson have
also yet to experience an AHL
playoff series, but they have
played in the ECHL postseason.
Bill Guerin, who played with
Boston College before turning pro,
knows what its like to experience
a playoff series for the first time.
Its an adjustment and you
learn a lot of lessons very quickly,
he said. You go from college to
the AHL to the AHL playoffs, and
its a different emotional level, a
different level of play and a differ-
ent level of responsibility. You
really have to prepare for it.
Guerin said he will talk to the
Penguins about that adjustment
before the playoffs start, and he
will likely find many eager listen-
ers.
You always hear about how a
series is like a war, and Im sure it
will be a big adjustment, Gibbons
said. Bill Guerin knows what it
takes to play at the next level, and
Im sure not too many teams have
a guy like him at their practices
giving us one-on-one time.
When he has anything to say,
you listen. You have to listen to
guys like that.

WILKES-BARRE TWP.
During Saturdays game against
Bridgeport, Colin McDonald
scored his first goal in 14 games
and Steve MacIntyre recorded
his first tally in 125 games, in-
cluding his time in the NHL.
Both were equally relieved.
The pair of goals, combined
with a third period tally fromJa-
son Williams, guided Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton to a 3-2 win
over Bridgeport in a game that
saw several regulars from both
teams sit out to get some rest.
The Penguins travel to
Bridgeport to wrap up the regu-
lar season today. Saturdays
game gave coach John Hynes a
chance to see his teamwork in a
number of situations, including
a two-man advantage and hold-
ing onto a one-goal lead.
It was a good, clean compet-
itive game by both teams,
Hynes said. That helps both
teams get ready for the playoffs
because we were both put in
some situations you can use go-
ing into the playoffs.
MacIntyre opened the scor-
ing for the Penguins when he
muscled into the crease after a
loose puck and forced it by goal-
tender Kenny Reiter. It was Ma-
cIntyres first AHL goal since
Dec. 12, 2007, a span of 97
games.
MacIntyres last goal came on
April 10, 2009 with Edmonton
against Calgary and goaltender
Miikka Kiprusoff.
The very last goal I scored
was on the second to last game
of the season, against Calgary.
Its been three years pretty near
to the day, MacIntyre said. It
feels nice.
McDonalds goal, his 14th of
the season and first since March
10, came when Paul Thompson
backhanded a pass through his
legs frombehind the Bridgeport
net. McDonald slid into the slot
and slammed the pass home.
It feels good to get that in
one of the last games before the
playoffs start, McDonald said.
It is going to help my confi-
dence a lot.
His work ethic has been phe-
nomenal, Hynes said. Its nice
to see himget rewarded for that
work.
The pair of goals, both of
which came in the first period,
gave the Penguins a 2-1 lead go-
ing into the third.
Williams then scored one
minute into the third to make it
3-1. The goal would prove to be
the difference maker as Bridge-
port got asecondpuckpast Brad
Thiessen.
Late in the period, Thiessen
stopped a quick shot from Sean
Backman in close and, with less
than a minute left, thwarted a
Bridgeport power play by stop-
ping three straight shots and
preserve the one-goal lead.
He held the fort and came up
withsome big saves as the game
wore on, Hynes said. Thats a
good sign.
NOTES
With one game left, Hynes
said Scott Munroe will start to-
day and a decision on who will
start innet for the playoffs wont
be made until next week.
Imgoing to put it off as long
as possible, Hynes said.

guins announced their team

minutes four times.
Yet when his schedule allows,
he meets fans like he did Satur-
day and makes appearances of all
kinds. He does motivational
speaking, some stand-up and
reaches out to youngsters to edu-
cate on the dangers of bullying.
I actually did one up here in
Tunkhannock. There were about
900 kids, said Schultz of his pro-
gram, Put Bullying on Ice.
People find it hard to believe
that I was bullied. I was on the
wimpy side growing up. I wasnt
hung upside down on a fence or
anything. But growing up in a
small farm town, I faced it. I
didnt start fighting until I reac-
hed the Flyers.
The Waldheim, Sask., native
still exudes a passion for the
game, and why not? A potent
scorer during his junior playing
days, hetookupanenforcers role
to realize his dreams and reach
the NHL.
Once there, he helped the
Flyers to two Stanley Cups with
his fists, and his hockey prowess.
He scored 20 goals during the
first Cup year (1973-74) and was
fourth in the NHL in shooting
percentage his 21.1 percent left
him behind only Hall of Famers
Johnny Bucyk, Rod Gilbert and
Yvan Cournoyer.
The following season, the
Flyers repeated as champions
and Schultz again led the league
in penalty minutes. His record
472 were nearly 200 more than
any other player.
And his two championship
rings made him a Philadelphia
legend. He sported a Stanley Cup
ring Saturday night, as well as a
smile familiar to fans who went
to the Spectrum to see him play.
Yeah, its pretty neat after all
these years, Schultz said of see-
ing fans still wearing his Orange
and Black No. 8 jersey. The big
thing for me, of course besides
the two Stanley Cup teams, was
being inducted into the Flyers
Hall of Fame in 2009. My name is
hanging up there with the other
Flyers greats.
They loved all of us. We
played together and were a great
team. And we won those cham-
pionships at a time when Phila-
delphia really needed something
like that.
Schultz still follows the game
that made him famous, and has
been impressed with what hes
seen in the battle between the in-
state rivals, especially from the
Flyers, who lead the series 2-0
heading into Game 3 today.
I dont think there are too
many people who expected the
Flyers to do what they did. Im
not quite sure why, Schultz said
of sweeping two games in Pitts-
burgh. Whats crazy is they keep
going down early. Theyve been
doing it the last couple of
months. And theyre still 7-4-1
when they go down by two goals.
They let a couple of goals against
and then (coach Peter) Lavio-
lette uses his timeout. Then they
start their comeback. Its incred-
ible.

Former NHL player Dave Schultz signs a puck for Jeremy Chmiel
and Amy Milewski on Saturday before the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins game with Bridgeport.
But since Scranton/Wilkes-
Barres home field of PNC Field is
scheduled to undergo renovation
this summer, the minor-league
Yankees will usesixdifferent other
venues as their home site.
StartingwithSaturdayshome
opener.
The only thing that felt like a
home game, Miley said, was we
were wearing white pants and bat-
ted last.
That didnt stop Syracuse from
runningitsstandardpromotionfor
home games, where a player on
theopposingteamisselectedtore-
ward fans with a free taco fromTa-
co Bell if he strikes out during the
game.
Real weird, Wise said. We
were the home team and we had
guys that were the K-man of the
game. At the same time, this is
what its goingtobe like duringthe
whole season. Nobodys complain-
ing. Coming into the season, we
knewthis is what it was goingtobe
like.
Not even the honor of drawing
the first start on the home portion
of Scranton/Wilkes-Barres sched-
ule was enough to make Yankees
Adam Warren feel extra special.
To me, it felt like just another
start, Warren said. Ive already
pitched here once before. I still felt
like it was a road game. At the
same time, we were trying to em-
brace it a little bit.
That was last week, when War-
ren took the loss at Alliance Bank
Stadium as a visitor.
But he was much better on the
same mound as the home starter,
limiting Syracuse to two runs over
6
2
3 effective innings.
I was throwing more strikes,
had more command of my pitch-
es, Warren said.
The only runs he allowed came
in the third inning, when Carlos
Rivera singled home Mark Teahen
and later scored on a double-play
ground out.
I thought the key for him was
he minimized that one inning,
Miley said of Warren. He got us
deep into the game.
Then former big leaguer Wise
went deep himself, launching a so-
lo homer over the right field wall
to give Scranton/Wilkes-Barre a
5-2 cushion in the fifth inning.
Hes a player, man, Miley said.
Ive known him from way back.
Thatswhat hedoeseveryday. Hes
swinging it well. He runs balls out
hard, just does things that make
him stand out.
WisealsohelpedtheSWBYanks
get out in front quickly, following
Jack Custs RBI double in the first
inning with one of his own to
stamp Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to a
two-run lead.
That grew to 3-0 in the second
inning, whenColinCurtis doubled
and scored on Kevin Russos hard
single to right field.
After Syracuse closed within a
run by scoring twice in the third,
Curtis tripled and scored on Doug
Berniers single in the fourth.
The teams exchanged runs in
the eighth inning, when Washing-
ton Nationals prospect Bryce Har-
per rocketed a double and scored
onJhonatanSolanos doubleinthe
top half of the frame for Syracuse
and Russo responded with a sacri-
fice fly for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
in the bottom of the inning.
That got the SWBYankees off to
a good home start away from
home.
Guys sit around the clubhouse
and joke about it, said Wise, who
helped Scranton/Wilkes-Barre im-
prove to 4-5. I said weve got to
start winning some games, or its
goingtobealongyear. Its goingto
be tough. But we have a good
group of guys in here. Imgoing to
tell you, one thing thats going to
be tough, were going to play at a
Rookie ball stadium (Batavia).

Bostons Paul Pierce (34) dribbles past New Jerseys Gerald
Green (14) during Saturdays game in Newark, N.J.
led to the ejections of Ottawa
defenseman Matt Carkner and
NewYork forward Brandon Du-
binsky just 2:15 in.
Anton Stralman had the oth-
er goal for the Rangers.
Game 3 of the best-of-seven
series is Monday night in Otta-
wa, followed by Game 4 on
Wednesday night. The series
will return to New York for
Game 5 next Saturday.
Foligno helped ensure that
the Senators wouldstill be alive
then when he got to a loose
puckoff ashot byZenonKonop-
ka that got past Rangers defen-
semanMarc Staal andslammed
it up and over the sprawling
Lundqvist from the edge of the
crease to tie it.
Boyle appeared to be in line
to be the star of the game when
he fired in a shot from the slot,
as he was being knocked side-
ways by a hit from Jesse Win-
chester. That gave the Rangers
their second lead of the night,
2-1 at 2:41 of the third.
Boyle was already the prime
focus onanight inwhichhewas
targeted early and often by the
Senators. He was jumped by
Carkner along the side boards
and absorbed numerous punch-
es while he was uponhis skates
and after he fell to the ice and
tried to cover up.
Dubinskyalsowas kickedout
for being the third man in when
he came to Boyles defense.
Craig Anderson made 27
saves, all in regulation, to earn
the win for the eighth-seeded
Senators. Lundqvist stopped29
shots.
The Rangers much-ma-
ligned power play finally came
through after falling during the
5-minute advantage New York
received for Carkners fighting
penalty.
With defenseman Sergei
Gonchar off for tripping, Stral-
man took a cross-zone pass
from defense partner Dan Gi-
rardi and fired a shot from the
top edge of the right circle that
pinballed off Anderson and
squeezed between his pads at
10:16.
SENS
locker room while the Capitals
congratulated each other in the
same corner of the rink where
Boston celebrated its single-
overtime Game 1 victory.
Game 3 is Monday night in
Washington.
The first game remained
scoreless into overtime, when
Chris Kelly scored after 1:18 to
give the Bruins the edge in the
best-of-seven series. The de-
fenses dominated again Sat-
urday, though each team did
manage to break through once
in regulation.
The Capitals took their first
lead of the series when Brouw-
er poked a puck out of the
crease and under Thomas, who
was blocked by Bruins defense-
man Greg Zanon.
Blues 3, Sharks 0
ST. LOUIS Brian Elliott
and Jaroslav Halak combined
for a shutout, the San Jose
Sharks put themselves in an
early hole when Marc-Edouard
Vlasic tapped the puck into his
own net and the St. Louis Blues
BOSTON Nicklas Back-
strom scored 2:56 into the
second overtime Saturday to
give the Washington Capitals a
2-1 victory over the Boston
Bruins and tie the first-round
playoff series at a game apiece.
Braden Holtby stopped 43
shots for Washington in his
second career postseason game.
Tim Thomas made 37 saves
for the defending Stanley Cup
champions.
Troy Brouwer opened the
scoring for the Capitals in the
second period, and Benoit
Pouliot tied it with 7:47 left in
regulation.
Early in the second overtime,
Washington won a faceoff in the
Boston zone and Marcus Jo-
hansson got the puck from
behind the net. He passed it to
Backstrom at the left faceoff
circle and he wristed it past
Thomas on his stick side.
Thomas barely moved as the
puck sailed by his blocker. As
soon as it hit the back of the
net, he quickly headed for the
evened the first-round series at
a game apiece with a 3-0 victory
Saturday night.
Vladimir Sobotka was cred-
ited with a goal on the first shot
of the game after Vlasics gaffe.
David Backes and David Perron
also scored, and T.J. Oshie had
two assists in the Blues first
playoff victory since 2004.
Halak and Elliott combined
for 15 shutouts in the regular
season, tying a modern NHL
record, and won the Jennings
Trophy for the fewest goals
allowed. Elliott was quite the
luxury as a backup after setting
a modern NHL record with a
1.56 goals-against average and
nine of the shutouts.
Antti Niemi made 29 saves
for the seventh-seeded Sharks,
who were shut out in both
regular-season meetings in St.
Louis, with Halak and Elliott
getting one apiece.
The game turned feisty at the
finish, with Blues defenseman
Roman Polak and Sharks defen-
seman Justin Braun tangling
after the final horn.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.
Carl Pettersson had a run of
five straight birdies on the front
nine and finished with a birdie on
the 18th hole for a 66 and a one-
stroke lead over Colt Knost after
the third round of the RBC Heri-
tage on Saturday.
Pettersson held a three-stroke
lead through 10 holes, yet was
tied with Knost after the 15th.
Pettersson moved in front with
the rounds final putt, an 8-foot
birdie on Harbour Town Golf
Links signature closing hole.
Knosts roller coaster of a
round included an eagle on No. 2
and several missed fairways on
the tight holes of Harbour Town
Golf Links. Still, he kept close
enough with a 69. Hell be paired
with Pettersson again today look-
ing for his first PGA Tour win.
Zach Johnson, the 2007 Mas-
ters winner, shot a 66 to move to
third at 8 under, three behind the
leaders. Two-time RBC Heritage
champion Boo Weekley had a 70
and was in fourth another shot
behind. DefendingchampBrandt
Snedeker (69), Kevin Na (70)
and Robert Garrigus (70) were
next at 6 under.
WorldNo. 1Luke Donaldfailed
to make a move toward keeping
the top spot, his even-par 71leav-
ing him at 2 over and tied for
52nd. Donald needs to finish
eighth or better to fend off No. 2
Rory McIlroy, who like Masters
champion Bubba Watson and
most other top golfers, was tak-
ing the week off.
Pettersson threatened to turn
the tournament into a runaway
withhis earlybirdiestreak. Knost
would not let that happen, over-
coming some unsteady play to
keep close to his playing partner.
It sure wasnt easy for Knost.
He came to the first tee with a
two-strokelead, thenknockedhis
opening tee shot into some pine
straw right of the fairway and
took bogey. He followed that by
rolling in a 48-foot eagle putt
from the left fringe on No. 2 and
flashed a wide smile that even
had Pettersson grinning.
Knosts up-and-down ride con-
tinued through the front nine.
There was the lipout on No. 3 for
bogey, the layup and chip to 10
feet on the par-5 fifth for birdie,
and solid par saves fromthe bun-
ker on No. 7 and fromsome more
pine straw on No. 8.
Then on the ninth after anoth-
er wayward drive, Knost
punched it to 10 feet and made
the birdie to stay one behind Pet-
tersson.
Things swung Petterssons
way once more on the 10th, his
lead growing to three shots after
he made birdie and Knost was
short onhis approachandmissed
an 8-foot attempt at par.
Still, Knost kept grinding. A
birdie on the 13th hole drew
Knost with a stroke and the pair
was tied at the top at 11 under
when Pettersson took bogey on
the par-5 15th hole.
Thetwomatchedpars until the
windswept 18th when Pettersson
struck a stunning approach that
slid by the cup and settled 8 feet
past. He rolled in the putt with a
smile on his face.
Johnson put together his sec-
ond straight sub-70 round to
move into third. He has largely
struggled at Harbour Town, his
best showing a tie for sixth the
week after he slipped on the
green jacket five years ago. John-
sons roundtookflight withanea-
gle on No. 5. He closed with bird-
ies on the 16th and 18th as he
looks for his first victory since
2010.

2-mile, high-banked
Texas track. His average speed of
160.577 mph put his Ford 3.2 sec-
onds ahead of the Chevrolet dri-
ven by Johnson.
It was Roushs ninth win in 23
Cup races at Texas, and complet-
ed a Lone Star State weekend
sweep. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won
the Nationwide race on Friday
night for Roushs fourth Texas
victory in a rowand ninth overall
in the second-tier series.
Biffle got his 17th career victo-
ry. It was his first since an Octo-
ber 2010 race in Kansas, where
the series goes next week.
After starting third, Biffle was
among the lead pack the entire
race, leading 91 laps on a fast-
paced and windy night.
There were only two cautions
for 10 slowed-down laps, both for
debris, and the race finished with
a record 234 consecutive laps of
green-flag racing.
Mark Martin finished third in a
Michael Waltrip-owned Toyota,
followed by Jeff Gordon and
Roush driver Matt Kenseth. Pole-
sitter Martin Truex Jr., another
Waltrip car, finished sixth after
leading 68 laps.
Biffle got his eighth consecu-
tive top-10 finish at Texas, where
he had a victory in 2005 even be-
fore that stretch.
For Hendrick Motorsports, it
was the second race in a rowthat
Rick Hendrick was close to get-
ting his 200th victory.
Johnson, Gordon and team-
mate Dale Earnhardt Jr. were
running in the top three at Mar-
tinsville two weeks ago before a
late restart in the last race before
the Easter weekend break. But
Clint Bowyers aggressive inside
move took out Johnson and Gor-
don, and Earnhardt ended up
third.

NEW YORK C.J. Wilson
beat the Yankees for the first
time in his career, Albert Pujols
and his teammates teed off and
the Los Angeles Angels
romped past New York 7-1
Saturday.
Howie Kendrick, Chris Ian-
netta and Vernon Wells home-
red as the Angels ended their
three-game skid and stopped
New Yorks winning streak at
four.
Pujols got in the swing, too,
after a quiet start with his new
club. He singled sharply his
first time up, then hit an RBI
double that one-hopped the
center-field wall. He later lined
out twice and flied out to the
fence in left.
Wilson (2-0) effectively
pitched inside and worked out
of frequent trouble, allowing
only one run in six innings. He
gave up back-to-back singles to
start the game and stranded
runners at second and third in
each of his last three innings.
Red Sox 13, Rays 5
BOSTON David Ortiz
drove in five runs and hit one
of Bostons five home runs as
the Red Sox pounded the Tam-
pa Bay Rays for the second
straight day.
The game was tied 5-all until
Mike Aviles hit a go-ahead
homer after replacing the in-
jured Jacoby Ellsbury as the
leadoff hitter, starting a three-
run seventh inning. The Red
Sox added five runs in the
eighth one day after scoring
eight in that inning.
Orioles 6, Blue Jays 4
TORONTO Nolan Rei-
mold hit a tiebreaking, two-run
homer in the ninth inning and
the Baltimore Orioles beat the
Toronto Blue Jays.
Wilson Betemit tied it with a
home run in the eighth and
Chris Davis also went deep for
the Orioles, who won their
second straight game at Rogers
Centre. Coming into the series,
Baltimore was 5-29 in Toronto
dating to 2008.
White Sox 5, Tigers 1
CHICAGO Gavin Floyd
overcame control problem to
pitch six scoreless innings and
Alexei Ramirez homered as the
Chicago White Sox beat the
Detroit Tigers.
Tigers left-hander Adam
Wilk, making first big league
start, was hit in his pitching
shoulder by teammate Prince
Fielders foul ball while sitting
in the dugout in the sixth in-
ning.
Wilk (0-1) left with a bruised
shoulder but is expected to
make his next start. He al-
lowed two runs on three hits in
five innings Saturday. He
struck out four and walked
one.
Rangers 6, Twins 2
MINNEAPOLIS Yu Dar-
vish kept wriggling out of
trouble in five-plus innings,
Josh Hamilton homered
among his three hits and the
Texas Rangers beat the Minne-
sota Twins.
Adrian Beltre drove in two
runs and put Texas ahead with
a single in the seventh that
scored Brandon Snyder, who
had a career-high three hits.
The Rangers won their third
straight and for the sixth time
in seven games.
Indians 11, Royals 9, 10 innings
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Shin-
Soo Choo hit a two-run double
with two outs in the 10th in-
ning, and the Cleveland Indi-
ans beat the Kansas City Roy-
als 11-9 on Saturday night in a
testy affair with three ejections
and a pair of bench-clearings.
A M E R I C A N L E A G U E R O U N D U P
Newest Angels
take down Yanks
PHILADELPHIA Jonath-
on Niese and two relievers
combined on a six-hitter, David
Wright homered despite a
broken finger and the New York
Mets beat the Philadelphia
Phillies 5-0 on Saturday.
Niese (2-0) allowed five hits
and struck out five in 6
2
3 in-
nings. Bobby Parnell got four
outs and Jon Rauch pitched the
ninth.
Wright was 3 for 5, including
a long homer on the first pitch
he saw after missing three
games with a broken right
pinkie. Lucas Duda also con-
nected for the Mets, who are
off to a surprising 6-2 start.
The five-time defending NL
East champion Phillies are 3-5
and struggling offensively
without All-Stars Chase Utley
and Ryan Howard in the middle
of their lineup. Theyve scored
two runs or less in five of their
eight games.
Nationals 4, Reds 1
WASHINGTON Edwin
Jackson threw a two-hitter for
his fifth career complete game
and Adam LaRoche added to
his unusually strong start with
a tiebreaking two-run double,
helping the Washington Na-
tionals win their fifth game in a
row, 4-1 over the Cincinnati
Reds.
Other than a rocky second
inning, Jackson (1-0) was as
efficient and effective as can be,
striking out nine. He retired 16
consecutive batters in one
stretch, until walking Chris
Heisey leading off the eighth.
After a visit from pitching
coach Steve McCatty, Jackson
got back in gear, striking out
the side. And he finished with
the flourish of a 1-2-3 ninth. As
if all of that werent enough,
Jackson even singled off Reds
starter Homer Bailey (0-2).
Cardinals 5, Cubs 1
ST. LOUIS ST. LOUIS
Lance Lynn pitched effectively
into the sixth inning and Yadier
Molina had two hits and two
RBIs, leading the St. Louis
Cardinals to a win over the
Chicago Cubs.
The Cardinals snapped a
two-game skid with their
fourth win in six games. Chica-
go, which lost five of its first
six, had won two in a row.
Braves 2, Brewers 1
ATLANTA Mike Minor
pitched two-hit ball into the
eighth inning to give Atlantas
rotation a lift and the Braves
survived a ninth-inning scare to
beat Shaun Marcum and the
Milwaukee Brewers for their
fourth straight victory.
Craig Kimbrel pitched out of
a bases-loaded jam in the ninth,
striking out pinch-hitter George
Kottaras and Mat Gamel for his
fourth save.
Astros 5, Marlins 4
MIAMI Carlos Lee drove
in the tying run with a two-out
single in the ninth inning, and
an error by left fielder Logan
Morrison allowed the go-ahead
run to score as the Houston
Astros rallied to beat closer
Heath Bell and the Miami
Marlins.
Bell, one of the Marlins
All-Star acquisitions this offsea-
son, took the mound with a 4-1
lead to start the ninth but had a
shaky performance for the third
time in as many outings this
season.

ts about time the worms got a
little credit.
Worms as in nightcrawlers,
redworms, waxworms and meal-
worms. All have long been the go-to
bait when it comes to trout fishing,
and they all are fading away in pop-
ularity.
Dan Cochran, owner of Grubco, a
bait company in Ohio, said last week
that his business for fishing has de-
creased to the point where zoos and
the pet industry are now his biggest
buyers of worms and grubs.
Why?
Because of artificial baits, like
Power Bait. More anglers are grab-
bing a jar of the synthetic stuff rather
than picking up the real deal.
Its a shame.
Im not advocating a ban on Pow-
erBait, or even lures for that matter.
But theres just something about
using grubs, minnows or worms that
seems to fit with trout season.
Especially when pursuing wild
trout in a secluded mountain stream.
My favorite bait for those small,
wary trout is anything I find under a
rock in the woods surrounding the
stream. These trout werent raised in
a hatchery and they never ate a pel-
let. Their diet consists of the insects
that hatch in the stream and the
worms and grubs that wash into the
water.
Thats all they eat, and thats all I
use.
Nature is the best bait
Its an effective, easy way to fish
when it comes to targeting wild
trout. The places they inhabit can be
tough to get to, and its much easier
to maneuver through the woods
carrying only an ultra-light rod. The
tackle box is left at home and the
bait is anything that I find under a
rock or log.
Casting a small redworm or grub
into a wild trout stream just seems
more fitting than lobbing a bright
orange chunk of PowerBait into the
water.
Bait such as worms and meal-
worms are part of the tradition of
trout fishing. Casting a hook baited
with a redworm is what gives fishing
its simplicity. After all, isnt that a
big reason why we fish to get away
from the complexities in life?
A few bait shops in the area also
reported that sales of worms and
grubs have dropped significantly
ever since Power Bait hit the market
years ago.
Apparently the scientifically engi-
neered baits, infused with scent and
flavor enhancers, are more appealing
to anglers than the actual stuff that it
is supposed to replicate.
But why use a Power Bait Minnow,
Leech or Grub when you can just use
the real thing with real flavor en-
hancers built in?
Im not saying that the use of artifi-
cial bait is wrong, and I am fond of
rubber worms for bass. I also saw
many anglers using PowerBait on
Saturdays trout opener with amaz-
ing results. Thats fine. After all,
anything that keeps people, especial-
ly kids, interested in fishing is a plus.
Even if its a chunk of PowerBait.
Still, its sad to see that its dis-
placing a live bait industry that has
long been the backbone of fishing.
No matter how lifelike or flavor
enhanced the artificial stuff is, and
no matter how many fish one can
catch with it, Ill opt for the real
thing when it comes to trout fishing.
That means leaving the jars of
synthetic bait on the shelf and buy-
ing the stuff that comes in a plastic
cup full of sawdust, or, better yet, the
things that are found in the dirt in
your backyard.

Artifical baits
worming way
into fishing
PALMYRA TWP. Bill Smoyer
climbed to the front of his boat and
peered into the net that had just been
pulled fromthe cold Lake Wallenpau-
pack water.
Inside were a myriad of fish species,
including channel catfish, perch, rock
bass and more than a dozen walleye,
which Smoyer was hoping to see.
Smoyer, who is a fish culturist with
the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Com-
mission, deposited the walleye into a
tank on his boat where they would later
be loaded into a truck. When the fish
were removed, the net was re-tied and
deposited back onto the bottomof the
lake.
Thats why this job doesnt get old,
Smoyer said. You never know what
youre going to find when you pull a net
up.
The PFBC is currently capturing
spawning walleye in the lake and taking
themback to the Pleasant Mount hatch-
ery, where the eggs are fertilized and
hatched. As of Wednesday, Smoyer had
already captured 600 walleye and the
goal is to collect 20 million eggs each
year. A large female walleye may contain
180,000 eggs, Smoyer said.
The agency uses the eggs to restock
lakes in the eastern half of the state.
Lake Wallenpaupack receives an annual
walleye stocking of five million fry and
100,000 fingerlings, which Smoyer said
is much higher than what would repro-
duce naturally in the lake.
To capture the walleye, Smoyer uses a
Pennsylvania trap net, which is basically
a funnel systemof nets 100 feet long.
Spawning walleye patrolling the shore-
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is capturing spawning walleye

sions on the water. Instructors will pro-
vide students with information via a
classroom setting to help them reduce
the risk of injury and conflict on the
water.
Students who successfully complete the
course may apply for a Boating Safety
Education Certificate for a $10 fee. The
certificate is required of all operators of
personal watercraft (PWCs) or anyone
born on or after January 1, 1982, who
operate a motorboat of more than 25
horsepower. More information about this
course or boating safety can be found by

organized junior pheasant hunt. The
guide book includes: a sample timeline;
suggested committees and assignments;
general event planning considerations;
and several sample forms and news re-
leases. It also includes event evaluation
guides so clubs and organizations may
consider changes for future junior pheas-
ant hunts.
To view the guide, go to the Game Com-
missions website, put your cursor over

Once a club schedules a junior hunt, it
can submit the information for posting on
the Game Commissions on-line Special
Hunts calendar, which enables those
looking to participate in special hunts to
locate and register on-line for an opportu-
nity near them. Clubs that want to have
their junior hunt advertised in the Spe-
cial Hunts calendar should contact Sa-
mantha Pedder, Game Commission ou-
treach coordinator, atsapedder@pa.gov,

PLEASANTMOUNT The con-
crete tanks and outdoor raceways that
cover the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commissions hatchery in Pleasant
Mount contain something of critical
importance.
Its home to the future fishery of
many lakes and ponds in the eastern
half of Pennsylvania.
The hatchery was built in1903 and
is one of the fewowned by the PFBC
that doesnt raise brook, rainbowor
brown trout for stocking. Instead,
Pleasant Mount is used to raise a varie-
ty of cool and warmwater species used
to augment fish populations in lakes
and ponds, or re-establish numbers in
places where populations are low.
The future for a lot of lakes starts
right here, said hatchery manager
TomPekarski, who has been at Pleas-
ant Mount since1995. This year, were
raising chain pickerel and bluegills for
Leeser and Possumlakes, both of
which were drained down for dam
work.
That future includes Tiger musky,
chain pickerel, walleye, crappie, lake
trout and channel catfish, all of which
are raised at the hatchery.
The beginning of the busy season at
the hatchery begins in April with the

walleye spawn. Soon after, musk-
ie eggs will come intobe incubat-
ed, and throughout the year the
hatchery will hatch, raise and re-
lease 15 fish species.
The hatchery has an average
annual production of almost 26
million fry, fingerling and year-
ling fish.
So how do they obtain enough
feed to satisfy the appetites of so
many fish?
Well, at Pleasant Mount, they
raise that as well.
We deal with so many species
and its always changing. Thats
the fun of it, Pekarski said. The
easiest way to feed them is to
raise minnows. But with some
species, weuseaprepareddiet be-
cause we simply cant raise
enough minnows to feed the
30,000 muskies we have here.
Pekarski has seen the benefits
that his hatchery provides to area
lakes firsthand. Lake Wallenpau-
pack, for example, really didnt
have a population of channel cat-
fish until the hatchery began
stocking themin1982.
Throughstocking, theres are-
al nice population in the lake to-
day, Pekarski said. I wouldnt be
surprised to see the state record
come out of there one day, espe-
cially with all the prey available.

line encounter the net and are
guideddownthe funnel intoa box
at theend. Smoyer checksthenets
daily and generally captures be-
tween30 and60 walleye eachday.
The agency has been collecting
spawning walleye from Lake Wal-
lenpaupack since the 1980s. Tom
Pekarski, manager of the Pleasant
Mount State Fish Hatchery, said
the program has boosted walleye
populations in the lake.
Most of the females we were
spawning in the 1980s were 15 to
25 years old, he said. Since we
beganstocking, most are now5 to
6 years old. The age distribution
has improved dramatically since
we started this in the 1980s, and
without it there would probably
be very little walleye in the lake.
It takes Smoyer about three
hours to check a half dozen net
traps. Once the fish are brought
back to the hatchery, employees
get toworkdeterminingthesexof
the walleye and sorting theminto
tanks. Females are also separated
between those that are green,
meaning they have eggs that
arent ready to be released, and
ripe, those that are ready to re-
lease their eggs.
The ripe females are placed in a
tub with an anesthetic mixed into
the water that knocks them out.
They are then rinsed off and the
eggs are then discharged into a
pan, along with sperm from male
walleyes.
The contents of the pan are
then slowly stirred with a turkey
feather to make sure the sperm
fertilizes the eggs. Pekarski said a
turkey feather is used because it
wont damage the eggs. It takes
about two minutes to fertilize the
eggs, he said.
Before the fertilized eggs are
placed in incubation jars, they are
mixed in a solution of water and
Fullers earth to remove the natu-
ral adhesive on the eggs.
The walleye is a broadcast
spawner and they spread their
eggs along the bottomwhere they
sticktovegetation, Pekarski said.
We need to remove that adhe-
sive; otherwise theyll just lump
into one big cluster and die.
The eggs are then placed in in-
cubation jars, where they will
hatch in 21 days. The fry exit the
jars through a screen on the top,
and a trough gently guides them
into a water-filled tank below.
In the wild it could take 35-40
days for the eggs to hatch, Pekar-
ski said. In the hatchery, 70-75
percent of the eggs hatch. In the
wild, it could be zero or 90 per-
cent. There are so many variables
that can affect the hatch in the
lake, such as insects, wave action
and water temperature.
Pekarski saidthefrystart swim-
ming immediately after they
hatch, and its critical to move
themintolarger tanks or toahold-
ing pond outside within three to
five days.
Thats when they want to eat,
andtheyreverycannibalistic,Pe-
karski said. If we dont get them
out, theyll eat each other.
Thefryinthetanks arereleased
into lakes, such as Wallenpau-
pack, while those transported to a
holding pondare allowedto reach
the fingerling stage, which is
about an inch in length. That
takes 35 days, Pekarski said, and
then theyre stocked as well.
The adult male and female wal-
leyes that were used for spawning
are released back into Lake Wal-
lenpaupack the next day. Those
that didnt release eggs are held
for up to two weeks. If they still
dont produce eggs, Pekarski said,
its assumed that they already
spawned and they are released
back into the lake.
Ive been involved with spawn-
ing these fish for 30 years and I re-
ally do believe its improving wal-
leye populations in our lakes, Pe-
karski said. We want this fishery
to survive, and the stocking ef-
forts arereallyprovingtobeaben-
efit.

I just wanted to catch some
fish and this is worth losing
sleep over, Cooper said as he
watched his pole with his un-
cle, Alan Harvey.
Despite warm, sunny weath-
er, a lighter than usual crowd
dotted the shoreline of Moon
Lake for Saturdays trout open-
er. Many anglers said the low
turnout was due to the recent
talk of closing the park.
I really think that hurt it
this year, said Dan Brzozow-
ski of Plymouth. I called just
to make sure they were still
stocking the lake.
The Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission stocked
Moon Lake on April 5, and
those anglers that did come
out were reeling in a fish at a
steady rate throughout the
morning.
Brzozowskis daughter Emi-
ly, 11, caught her limit by 9:20
a.m. and his son Calvin, 8, had
three.
The kids are having a
blast, Brzozowski said. We
got here at 6 a.m. and theyve
been excited ever since.
Earlier inthemorningat Lily
Lake, Hanover Township resi-
dent Glen Hulsizer stood on
the shoreline with his two
sons, Isiah, 7, and Glen, 9.
They arrived at the lake at 7
a.m. and Hulsizer watched his
sons excitement growas the 8
a.m. start time approached.
I dont mind the wait be-
cause it reallybuilds the excite-
ment, he said. The kids were
really excited about their first
opening day, and they were up
and ready at 5 a.m.
The first hour of the season
at Lily Lake was relatively
slow, with only a handful of
trout caught among the 35
boats that floated around the
launch area.
Waterways Conservation Of-
ficer John Cummings, who pa-
trols parts of Luzerne and Co-
lumbia counties, said angler
turnout was higher this season
than last, but the
trout werent hit-
ting as well as ex-
pected.
Cummings attri-
buted the slow
start to the nice
weather. While
clear, sunny skies
may be good for
anglers, he said,
its not so great for fishing.
Afront is supposed to move in
later in the day and hopefully
with that cloud cover the trout
will relax and start feeding,
Cummings said.
Still, Cummings wasnt com-
plaining about the nice weather,
especially considering what an-
glers had to endure on last years
opening day.
Last year we had sideways
sleet. This year Im in short
sleeves, he said.
The clear skies and recent dry
weather impacted angler success
on many streams. Joe Wadzin, of
Hunlock Creek, spent the morn-
ing fishing Harveys Creek along
Route 29.
By 9:30 a.m. he still had yet to
get a hit.
The stream is the lowest Ive
ever seen it, Wadzin said. Im
not even seeing trout in the
pools.
There were a lot of anglers
here in the morning and they dis-
appeared quick. I think a lot of it
has to do with the stream condi-
tions.
Cummings said because
streams arelowandclear, anglers
have to change their tactics.
On a typical opening day the
streams are higher, he said, and
anglers dont have to worry as
much about presentation and
line weights.
That wasnt the case on Satur-
day.
Im telling anglers to go to
four-pound test fluorocarbon
line, he said. If you use the
heavier line in this low, clear wa-
ter, the trout will see it.

PITTSBURGHIt looks like
a strong running game followed
new Pittsburgh football coach
Paul Chryst from Wisconsin.
Sophomore Isaac Bennett
rushed for 121 yards on 23 car-
ries Saturday during the Pan-
thers Blue-Gold game, their fi-
nal scrimmage of the spring sea-
son. It was a spring where the
Panthers players had to accli-
mate to their fourth head coach
in three seasons.
After Dave Wannstedt left
two seasons ago, Pitt hired Mia-
mi (Ohio) coach Mike Hay-
wood, then fired himless than a
month later following his arrest
on a domestic battery charge.
Pitt then hired Todd Graham
from Tulsa and he stayed just
one seasonbefore boltingtoAri-
zona State.
Chryst, who came to Pitt after
seven seasons as Wisconsins of-
fensive coordinator, said the
players and new coaching staff
worked well together this
spring.
For the players, some of the
anxiety that change presents, I
think thats behind us now, he
said. Its about what we do as a
group going forward.
An effective running game, a
staple for the Badgers offense
under Chryst, should help that
growth. Three Pitt running
backs Bennett, redshirt ju-
nior E.J. Banks and sophomore
Corey Davis all averaged
more than five yards a carry Sat-
urday.
The Panthers also expect
leading rusher Ray Graham
out since October with a knee
injury back for the fall and
will welcome incoming fresh-
man Rushel Shell, Pennsylva-
nias all-time leading high
school rusher.
There could be enough car-
ries to go around. In 2010, Wis-
consin had two running backs,
John Clay and James White,
who each rushed for more than
1,000 yards and a third, 2011
Heisman finalist Montee Ball,
who rushed for 996 yards. Ben-
nett said hes excited about the
offenses potential.
Its a lot of fun, because when
you get tired, someone can
come in and take over where
you left off, Bennett said.
Its a lot of fun knowing that
everyone is going to be really
good.

manager, Danilo Iannascoli,
told Sky Italia. We are living
through a drama.
All Italian matches for the
weekend were canceled after
his death was announced.
Italian media reports said a
car belonging to traffic police
blocked the ambulances way

window had to be broken so the
car could be moved.
The match was abandoned

GIVE ANYONE AGE
40 and older a time
machine and they
would likely go back
to their early 20s
to open an IRA.
Thats because by
40, many of us have
learned the miracle of compound earn-
ings over time. We kick ourselves for
not socking away even tiny sums in a
tax-sheltered individual retirement
account when we were younger.
Consider the math: A 22-year-old
who invests $100 a month in an IRA for
10 years and then stops will end up
with more money at age 65 then a
32-year-old who saves $100 a month in
an IRA for 33 years. Baltimores T.
Rowe Price says the first investor, as-
suming a 7 percent annual return,
would accumulate $174,217; the other
winds up with $155,307.
Thats why Prices recent survey of
young investors is disappointing.
The investment firm polled 860
adults age 21 to 50 who have at least
one investment account, so these are
folks already engaged in investing.
According to Price, just 45 percent of
these Gen X and Gen Y investors say
they would contribute to an IRA for the
2011 tax year, down from 71 percent
who invested in an IRA the year before.
And if these investors had a spare
$5,000 the maximum amount those
under 50 can contribute yearly to an
IRA only 16 percent say they would
put the money into the account. More
than half would pay off debt or put it in
a rainy day fund.
Not bad choices, but again, young
investors need to take advantage of
their most valuable asset time. And
thats where an IRA can help.
You can open an IRA with an in-
vestment firm, and youll have a grea-
ter choice of investments than the
typical 401(k). This money is meant for
your retirement, so youll generally
have to pay a penalty if you cash out
early, similar to the 401(k).
There are two kinds of IRAs.
Depending on your income, your
contributions to a traditional IRA could
be tax-deductible. And when you pull
money out in retirement, it will be
taxed as regular income.
With a Roth available to those
within certain income limits you
dont get an upfront deduction. But
withdrawals, which include all the
money you earned over the years,
wont be taxed in retirement.
A Roth is the preferred IRA for
younger investors, who are likely to be
in a higher tax bracket when they re-
tire. The Roth is considered so bene-
ficial for young investors that many
financial bloggers last month participa-
ted in the Roth IRA Movement, a day
in which they wrote about the account
to raise its profile.
Of course, there is no time machine
that will allow todays twentysometh-
ings a do-over in the future. If you have
extra dollars after participating in a
401(k) or you dont have a retirement
plan at work, contribute to an IRA. You
have until the tax deadline April 17
this year to make a contribution for
the 2011 tax year.
Im not the only one nagging young
investors to stash money in an IRA.
Jeff Rose is a 34-year-old financial
planner in Illinois and the creator of
the Roth IRA Movement. Rose says he
came up with the idea after speaking to
50 or so college seniors at his alma
mater last month. He asked how many
had ever heard of a Roth.
Not a single one of them raised
their hand, Rose says.
He says that depressed him, figuring
that by the time they learned about a
Roth they could be well into their 30s
and have lost valuable investing years.
Rose, who blogs on personal finance,
reached out to fellow bloggers to sug-
gest they raise awareness by writing
about the benefits of the Roth on the
same day, March 27. More than 140
bloggers and media outlets did so last
week, Rose said, and he hopes to make
this an annual event.
Young investors should try to make
investing in an IRA an annual event,
too.

T
ravelers booking getaways through Avenue Travel owner Marilyn Stanks knowthey
can have peace of mind when enlisting the aid of the 30-year trip planning veteran.
They simply tell her where they want to go and for howmuch, and leave it up to
Stanks to get themthere. Stanks started her travel agency in Kingston nearly 30 years ago
and in that time has coordinated honeymoons, anniversary trips, spring breaks and weekend
getaways for thousands of eager travelers.
Planning travel for that long, shes
also seen just as many trends sent off
into the sunset.
One recent departure has been
from do-it-yourself online trip plan-
ning.
Weary of point-and-click discount
travel websites such as Hotwire and
Orbitz, many vacationers have been
gradually returning to traditional
travel agents.
The Internet is a great source of
information, Stanks said. But a mis-
conception is that you need it to get
the best deals when it comes to travel
and thats just not the case.
According to a February 2011 re-
port from the American Society of
Travel Agents, 44 percent of agencies
surveyed in 2010 saw an increase in
clients from the previous year, with
94 percent of agents polled expecting
to make profits in 2012.
Beth Savage, owner of Dallas-
based Vacation Station Tours and
Travel, has seen a recent spike in cli-
entele and believes internet shoppers
are beginning to realize the pitfalls of
booking through a website.
I just dont think people have the
time to waste, Savage said.
She added that a personal touch is
whats most comforting to her cus-
tomers.
People prefer that real, personal-
ized service, she said.

Local travel agents see boost in business

YORKFor a look at whats to come
for Harley-Davidson Inc., the best place
to start is the companys largest motor-
cycle factory, where change has been
described as leaning into a hurricane.
Where 41 buildings once stood on
232 acres, theres now an enormous va-
cant lot.
Gone are about half of the 2,300 jobs
that, for decades, supported families in
this blue-collar town.
The old buildings, some of them dat-
ing back to World War II, were demol-
ished as Harley-Davidson wiped the
slate clean and developed a new manu-
facturing systemthats the template for
changes comingtoHarleyplants inWis-
consin and Kansas City, Mo.
Its like Cortez burning the ships
when he reached the New World.
Theres nogoingbacktowhat this facto-
ry usedto represent, saidYork General
Manager Ed Magee, who once man-
aged the now-closed Capitol Drive
plant in Milwaukee.
Yorks new factory, housed in one
building, is much smaller than the old
sprawling campus patched together
over decades. But this year it will as-
semble more bikes than were built in
the old system two years ago.
Onemotorcyclerolls off theassembly
line here every 89 seconds.
York is a model of efficiency that Har-
ley wants to replicate at all of its facto-
ries, including Menomonee Falls, Wis.,
and Tomahawk, Wis., where the new
manufacturing system will eliminate
several hundred jobs but will lower
costs and make the plants more respon-
sive to changes in the motorcycle mar-
ketplace.
The York transformation is the most
tangible manifestation so far of Chief
Executive Officer Keith Wandells strat-
egy for putting Milwaukee-based Har-
ley-Davidson on a path to sustained
profitability. Hired from Johnson Con-
trols Inc. in 2009, Wandell has said that
over time Harley management gave
away the keys to the company, leading
to runaway costs and Yorks patchwork
41-building campus.

If demography is destiny, the U.S.
economy may be inthe midst of a dec-
ades-long slowdown.
The U.S. labor force is growing at
about half the rate it was 20 years ago.
According to recent projections by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it will
continue to expand at a slightly lower
pace through 2020.
Slower growth in the number of
workers tends to hold back gross do-
mestic product and employment,
economists say. And that makes it
less likely that the economy will pick
up steamat the rate it did in previous
recessions.
These changes in the labor force
imply that future recessions will be
deeper, and will have slower recover-
ies, than historically has been the
case, according toa paper issuedlast
month by James H. Stock of Harvard
University and Mark W. Watson of
Princeton University.
Their research shows that as much
as half of the relative slowness of the
recent recovery may be attributable
to the fact that the growth of the U.S.
labor force has declined.
The demographics turn out to be
a very important factor, Stock saidin
an interview.
The slower growth in the labor
force arises from two factors, accord-
ing to the BLS. First, the U.S. popula-
tion is growing more slowly. Second,
the percentage of Americans working
or seeking work will continue to de-
cline as the population ages.
What exactly stalled the recovery
from the recent recession and what
might still be holding it back contin-
ue to be a matter of debate among
economists and politicians.
The doddering nature of the recov-
ery has been blamed on a variety of
factors: the financial nature of the cri-
sis, the fact that millions of home-
owners are struggling with mortgage
debt, the size of the government
stimulus, as well as spiking gas pric-
es, the Japanese earthquake and the
European banking troubles.
The role of demographics has been
relatively unexplored, and in contrast
to those other causes, the decline in
the labor force will probably be a per-

Agents likeStanks andSavage
have the ability to act as a go-be-
tween, protecting the best inter-
ests of their clients against the
unpredictability of chance.
If youre planning ananniver-
sary or destination wedding,
you want it to go off without a
hitch, Savage said.
If a sudden snowstormcreeps
in hours before a clients flight,
most agents have the connec-
tions at airlines to bypass cus-
tomer service queues and talk
directly to someone who can
confirm departure times.
If a client arrives at a destina-
tion to pouring rain and decides
a convertible-top rental car
might not be the best way to go,
with a quick phone call an agent
can have the new set of keys
waiting at the front desk when
their customer arrives.
Most agents can also offer
something else: multiple choic-
es for the same destination.
There are literally tons of op-
tions, Stanks said.
I might be able to price-
match. I might be able to give
families three or four different
deals for the same package, she
said.
I might get 120 emails about
deals and special packages for
one location, she said.
Andif Stanks, anavidtraveler,
hasnt been to a location herself
she has a Rolodex full of con-
tacts that have.
I dont feel Imsellingtravel,
Stanks said. Im sharing my
own experiences to help some-
one make a good decision.
Stanks said the Internet
doesnt compare when it comes
to having experienced years of
sending clients to a destination.
Travel agents educate peo-
ple. Thats a big difference, she
said.
Sometimes its the littlest
things an agent can offer that
make the biggest difference.
Stanks recalls when she want-
ed to do something special for a
client she sent to the Hawaiian
island of Maui for a birthday ge-
taway.
As her client was en route,
Stanks called ahead and had a
tray of cupcakes deliveredtoher
room.
Call it a sweet gesture or a ges-
ture of sweets. Either way, its
something a website cant offer.
I want the experiences of my
clients to be memorable ones,
and anything I can do to make
that happen is my job, Stanks
said.

two years ahead of the Wiscon-
sin plants in implementing Har-
leys newmanufacturingsystem.
Changes are coming to Wiscon-
sin this spring with labor con-
tracts that went into effect April
1, giving the company more flex-
ibility with the workforce.
The Milwaukee contracts
similar to Yorks include high-
er health care contributions
from workers and a seven-year
wage freeze, although there is
the possibility of pay raises.
They also call for the use of sea-
sonal, or casual, employees
who are not entitled to medical
or retirement benefits and re-
ceive less pay for the same work
done by regular employees.
Casual employees in Milwau-
kee, while still unionized, are
paid about $16.80 to $26 per
hour, depending on their job de-
scription. Pay for full-time work-
ers ranges from about $30.50 to
$38 per hour; workers recalled
from layoff sometimes come
back at a second-tier, lower
wage.
Currently, all union employ-
ees are paid at or above their
wage scale, according to Harley,
which says the jobs are among
the best-paying positions in
manufacturing in York and Mil-
waukee.
The York factory now has
about 270 casual employees sup-
plementing the reduced full-
time workforce.
We get to be the poster child
for change, Magee said. I
didnt want my resume to say I
impacted 1,000 families. That is
tough to go home with. But this
factory now has a future, along
with the rest of its suppliers, and
it didnt have that before.
The changes are especially
evident because of the demol-
ished buildings where Harley
once made motorcycle parts
that noware outsourcedtoother
companies. But theyre also dra-
matic inside the newer 650,000-
square-foot factory that was for-
merly used just to assemble Har-
leys Softail motorcycles.
Where partially assembled
bikes once crawled along a con-
veyor belt with overhead hooks,
and parts were stacked to the
ceiling, theres nowa production
line with more than 100 robotic
smart carts traveling on five
rows of thin magnetic tape.
The factorys 62 job classifica-
tions have been slashed to five,
and the number of salaried posi-
tions has been cut in half to 150
people.
Blue-collar employees now
work in teams of six to14 people
and have more responsibility for
making their own decisions.
One team, led by an hourly wage
worker, implemented124 chang-
es that saved the company
$100,000 a year and made the
work area safer.
All of those ideas were there
before. We just did not have a
mechanism to capture and im-
plement them, Magee said.
HARLEY
sistent feature of the U.S. econ-
omy for the foreseeable future.
In the mid-1980s, the labor
force defined as the number
of people working or seeking
work was growing at about
1.7 percent per year, according
to Stock and Watsons calcula-
tions. By the mid-2000s, the
growth was just about half that,
or 0.9 percent.
The growth, moreover, is an-
ticipated to slow even more in
the years to come. In labor
force estimates published by
the BLS, annual growth of the
labor force shrinks to less than
0.6 percent by the end of the
decade.
One of the primary causes for
the decline of labor force
growth is the retirement of the
giant baby-boom generation.
Last year, the first baby boom-
ers, born in 1946, reached 65,
the traditional age of retire-
ment.
Second, through the 1990s, a
rapid rise in the percentage of
women working led to a surge
in the size of the labor force.
But once the percentage of
women in the labor force reac-
hed about 60 percent, it stop-
ped climbing, and economists
see little immediate sign that it
is likely to rise again.
The labor-force participation
of women is as high as it has
ever been, said Claudia Gol-
din, a Harvard economics pro-
fessor who has studied the is-
sue. And it has not gone high-
er in the last 20 years.
But the high numbers of
women attaining bachelors de-
grees suggest to some that
there is a large group of women
who could be enticed into join-
ing the workforce. In 2010, 36
percent of women ages 25 to 29
had bachelors degrees, com-
pared with 28 percent of men of
the same age group.
The labor force participation
rate among men 25 and older,
meanwhile, has been in a de-
cline, and stands at 73 percent.
Assuming that the growth of
the labor force continues to de-
cline as expected, there are im-
portant ramifications for the
economy.
For starters, when the labor
force grows more slowly, the
growth in the number of jobs
and the growth of GDP is un-
likely to be as robust as it other-
wise would be, economists
said.
In the end, what an econo-
my depends upon is how many
bodies you have, said Anthony
Carnevale, an economist and
director of the Georgetown
University Center on Educa-
tion and the Workforce.
Carnevale added that if the
diagnosis for what ails the
economy is the size and quality
of the workforce, that may be
good news, at least compared
with the theory that the biggest
problem is foreign competi-
tion.
To the extent this is a do-
mestic demographic problem,
its more in our control, he
said. We cant blame the Chi-
nese for the quality and quanti-
ty of our domestic labor force.

Q: Ever since I came to work
here a year ago, I have gotten
nothing but attitude from the
woman in the next cubicle. I
keep trying to be nice to Man-
dy, but she refuses to develop
anykindof relationshipwithme.
Sometimes she doesnt speak to
me at all.
Mandy seems to resent the
fact that I have a more responsib-
le jobthanshe does. After mypo-
sition was upgraded, she didnt
talk to me for several days.
Whenever I tell her that she has
made a mistake, she completely
ignores me. I am constantly
cleaning up her errors, which
takes time away from my own
work.
Our supervisor toldus that we
needed to work on our commu-
nicationproblem, but that didnt
help at all. I believe hes getting
tired of Mandys behavior, al-
thoughhe doesnt seemtobe do-
ing anything about it. I have con-
sidered transferring to another
department, but I dont see why
I should be the one to leave.
This situation has me ready to
explode, but I know that getting
angry will only make me look
bad. What should I do?
A: Since this unpleasant wom-
an obviously doesnt want a rela-
tionship with you, I think you
should just go about your work
and leave her alone to sulk in si-
lence. When you allow yourself
to get bent out of shape over
Mandys frosty demeanor, you
are giving her way too much
power to affect your life.
Unless monitoring Mandy is
part of your job, you should also
stop pointing out her mistakes.
By acting like her supervisor,
you are overstepping your
boundaries and increasing her
resentment. More importantly,
if you continue to fix her errors,
management will never learn
about her shortcomings.
While your boss may indeed
be growing tired of Mandys
moodiness, you would be wise
to note that he has attributed
this communication problem
to both of you.
If you are unable to get a grip
on your emotional reactions, he
may soon tire of your attitude as
well.
Q: I have been told that if my
performance does not improve, I
will be fired. This company is
not a good fit for me, so I want to
start looking for another job
while Imstill employed. Howev-
er, I dont know what to say
when interviewers ask why I
want to leave my present posi-
tion. What should I tell them?
A: Because there can be many
different honest answers to the
same question, you need to pre-
pare a truthful response that
does not raise any red flags. In-
stead of describing your disap-
pointing experience with your
current company, explain why
youare attractedtothe organiza-
tion where you are interviewing.
This means, of course, that
you must do your homework, re-
search potential employers, and
determine what interests you
about each one. Managers are al-
ways impressed with applicants
who appear genuinely excited
about coming to work for them.

THE LONG RUN
Consider yourself a long-term in-
vestor? You may want to focus on
pharmaceutical stocks and steer
clear of banks.
Researchers from Harvard
Business School combed through
more than 150,000 transcripts of
earnings conference calls. They
wanted to see whether CEOs used
phrases that emphasize long- or
short-term planning. They found
that the vocabulary of pharmaceu-
tical and apparel CEOs tended to
be more long-term oriented, while
electronic equipment companies
and banks were more short term.
The researchers also found that
short-term oriented companies had
more volatile stocks.
IT ALL MATTERS
Bond investors took notice when
Standard & Poors upgraded
Macys credit rating on Tuesday:
It meant S&P believes Macys
bondholders are more likely to
get their money back. But stock-
holders should also care.
The upgrade means Macys
can borrow more cheaply, and
can use the cash which would
have gone to interest, on stock
buybacks instead. Citi analyst
Deborah Weinswig expects
Macys to buy $1.3 billion of its
stock in 2012, up from an esti-
mate of $1 billion. A bigger buy-
back means shareholders will
get a larger proportion of the
companys earnings.
TRASHED
The economic recovery may be
underway, but its not yet showing
itself at the dump. Haulers dumped
0.3 percent less stuff in U.S. land-
fills in the first quarter than a year
ago, according to Wedbush ana-
lyst Al Kaschalk. One of the main
culprits is the still-weak housing
market. In February, crews started
construction on only about 30 per-
cent of the number of homes that
they did during 2006. That means
less construction and demolition
waste. One bright spot for Repub-
lic Services (RSG) and other pub-
licly traded waste companies is
that prices are rising to haul trash:
They were up 1.8 percent last
quarter, Wedbush says.

Trend
ew:
Small stocks have lagged behind
the rest of the market in 2012, but
Eric Marshall still sees big opportuni-
ties for them. Fewer financial ana-
lysts follow small-cap companies,
which means there are more chanc-
es to find overlooked winners.
Arent small-caps more volatile
historically than large stocks?
Small-cap stocks tend to be in the
areas of the market that are growing
the most. They tend to involve com-
panies that are more cyclical and
maybe have a little more leverage to
whats going on in the economy.
That can be good in good times and
bad in bad times.
But because they carry a higher
risk, they carry a higher reward over
the long run. If youre a long-term in-
vestor with a four- or five-year time
horizon, it makes sense to have a
portion of your portfolio exposed to
small-caps, because its where you
find the opportunity for growth.
Can you give an example?
During the recession, everyone
thought you didnt want to be in retail
stocks. But there were pockets, like
at A.T. Cross (ATX). They own the
Cross pen business and a sunglass
brand called Costa that grew double
digits during the recession. They
have a unique lens technology and
sell for over $200 per pair.
Were in an environment where
the economy is improving, but its
improving at a very slow pace. In
this environment, small-caps can
represent pockets of growth, either
in a niche sector or through a com-
pany thats gaining market share.
Like Tempur-Pedic (TPX). Heres
a company that just went through
the worst housing crisis, and furni-
ture companies are very tied to the
housing market. Also, whos going to
go out and buy a $2,000 mattress
when the unemployment rate is 10
percent? But somehow Tempur-
Pedic was able to see decent
growth, because they had only 2
percent of the global market share. If
you can go from 2 percent to 3 or 4
percent, you can offset whatever
slow economic growth is out there.
Isnt a drawback of small-cap
stocks that they generally dont
pay dividends?
There are some out there. Cinemark
(CNK) has a 3.7 percent yield. The
funny thing about the movie busi-
ness is if people dont go for a long
time, they quit going. But it only
takes one or two movies to get peo-
ple back in the habit of going to the
movies.
I see you own Heelys (HLYS), the
company that makes a shoe with
a wheel in it. Isnt that fad over?
The stock is down to about $2
from $30 in 2006.
Heelys is now sitting on about $2.20
per share in cash. We paid right at
or below that price for it. We bought
the cash on the balance sheet and
got the company for free. They dont
have any debt. Theres a new man-
agement team in there. We think
maybe they could be break even,
modestly profitable, by the end of
this year.

No treasure in these funds
Treasury bond mutual funds
havent offered much safety this year.
Even though Treasury prices have
rebounded this month, long-term
government bond mutual funds
remain in the red. Theyve lost 3.4
percent this year. Thats the worst
performance among the 14 bond
fund categories that Morningstar
tracks. At the top of the list? Emerging
market bond funds, which are up 6.3
percent.
Treasury prices began falling in
February after fears about the European
debt crisis waned and the U.S. unemployment rate
fell to 8.3 percent, its lowest level since 2009. As a
result of those improvements, investors sold
Treasurys and shifted money into riskier, higher-
yielding investments. Also, the Federal Reserve said
it doesnt foresee buying more bonds to pump money
into the economy.
Investors are hungry for bond yields to rise.
The 10-year Treasury note yields
about 2 percent, down from its
average of 6.5 percent over the
last 30 years.
Worries about the strength of an
economic recovery have worked to
keep interest rates low. Just last
Friday a weaker-than-expected jobs
report caused Treasury prices to
rise, and the yield on the 10-year
note to fall to 2.06 percent from 2.18
percent. Whats more, economic
problems in Europe remain
unresolved.
Such uncertainty is why a diversified bond
fund is often the best option. For instance, the T.
Rowe Price Short-Term Bond fund (PRWBX),
which Morningstar recommends, has 49 percent of
its assets in corporate bonds, 4 percent in
Treasurys and the rest in mortgage-backed
securities and other investments. It has returned
2.2 percent over the last 12 months.

Companies are rolling in cash:
Those in the S&P 500 have more
than $1 trillion collectively, a record.
One way for them to use that
cash is to buy other companies. The
economy is slowly growing again,
and one quick way for CEOs to
boost growth is to buy another com-
pany. For investors of the acquired
company, it can be a quick and lu-
crative payday.
This screen shows companies
that Goldman Sachs analysts say
have a high probability of being in-
volved in a merger or acquisition.
One example is Ariba, whose soft-
ware helps businesses manage their
cash. Its part of the cloud-computing
industry, which delivers software to
customers over the Internet. The in-
dustry has also been a locus of take-
over activity in recent months.
German giant SAP said in De-
cember that it would buy Success-
Factors, which makes cloud-based
human resources applications, for
about $3.4 billion. SAP paid $40 in
cash for each SuccessFactors share,
52 percent more than its closing
price a day before the deal was an-
nounced. That followed Oracles Oc-
tober announcement in that it would
buy RightNow Technologies, another
cloud company, for about $1.5 billion.

Mortgage rates fall again
The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage fell
to a record low of 3.11 percent last week, down
from 3.21 percent a week earlier. The average rate
on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 3.88 percent
from 3.98 percent. Mortgage rates tend to follow
Treasury yields, and the yield on the 10-year Trea-
sury note has been falling since March on worries
about a slowing global economy.

you have to decide how to deal with
your retirement accounts. All of us
should evaluate whether we have
adequate disability insurance. Long-
term care insurance also makes
sense for many of us. Financial
advisers can help you determine
whether you should refinance your
mortgage, how to avoid estate taxes,
how to maximize your ability to
care for elderly parents and so on.
You can learn a lot about these
topics on your own. Youll find a lot
of guidance at fool.com/investing/
basics/index.aspx and elsewhere.
But it can still be smart to consult a
pro about your specific situation.
There are good and not-so-good
financial advisers. Watch out for
those who will put their financial
self-interest before yours, perhaps
trying to sell you products you
dont need, or skimming a percent
off your assets without helping to
increase your wealth. We favor fee-
only advisers, as opposed to those
who collect commissions for put-
ting you in various investments.

3 Best Buys in the Dow
The 30 companies in the Dow
Jones Industrial Average are estab-
lished, well-run, dividend-paying
large-caps. Theyre not all bargains,
but here are some to consider:
Machinery titan Caterpillar
(NYSE: CAT) is poised to profit
from the industrialization of emerging
markets. It has a strong track record
of returning capital to its sharehold-
ers. Over the past five years, Cats
grown its dividend payouts at an
average rate of 10 percent annually,
and recently yielded 1.8 percent.
Market-leading companies with
strong fundamentals can turbocharge
your portfolio.
Semiconductor powerhouse Intel
(Nasdaq: INTC), yielding 3 percent,
owns the semi space like no one
else. According to the latest figures
out of IHS iSuppli, Intel widened
its lead in the semiconductor market
to a 10-year high in 2011, with an
overall market share of 15.6 percent.
General Electric (NYSE: GE),
recently yielding 3.4 percent, has
largely righted the ship with its GE
Capital unit that generated the lions
share of its problems during the
Iinancial crisis. In Iact, GE Capital
should begin paying a dividend to
the parent company as soon as this
year. GE has also done a great job
shifting its strategy to more forward-
looking growth markets namely,
energy and infrastructure.
These companies offer long-term
investors a solid upside and limited
downside. (The Motley Eool owns
shares of Intel, and its newsletter
services have recommended it.)

Size Doesn`t Matter
Id read a book on Warren Buf-
fett in the mid-1980s and thought
he was a smart guy. I read articles
on him occasionally, noticing
his big investments in Coke, etc.
Then, in the late 1980s, I thought
about buying some shares of his
company, Berkshire Hathaway.
They were about $4,000
each. I had that much cash
in my IRA and thought,
Why not? But then I decided
that it was dumb to spend $4,000
for a single share and didnt buy
it. I could sure use that extra
$118,000 of profit about now.
Pete, Alexandria, Va.
The Fool Responds: Yes,
those shares are now worth about
$120,000 each, though Berkshire
Hathaway also sports class-B
shares, trading around $80. Berk-
shires class-A shares have trailing
earnings per share (EPS) of $6,215,
giving them a price-to-earnings
(P/E) ratio of about 20.
By contrast, AT&T recently traded
near $31 per share, with EPS of
$0.67, giving it a P/E of 47 and a
steeper valuation. Focus on the big
picture, not on just price. (The Mot-
ley Fool owns shares of Berkshire
Hathaway, and its newsletter ser-
vices have recommended it.)

The Strike Price
Q
Whats a stock options
strike price? C.G.,
Springfield, Ill.
A
Its the price at which it
can be exercised. Imagine
you work for Holy Karaoke Inc.
(ticker: HYMNS). You`re issued
1,000 employee stock options
with a strike price of $10 each. A
few years later, the company goes
public, issuing shares of stock for
the first time via an initial public
offering (IPO). The shares are
priced at $25 each, but a year later
theyre trading at $40. At this
point, you decide to exercise
your options.
Since your options carry a
strike price of $10, youre entitled
to buy up to 1,000 shares at $10
each not the $40 that theyre
going for on the open market. If
you exercise all of them, youll
fork over $10,000 to your company
for 1,000 shares worth $40,000.
You can hang on to them as long
as you like, or quickly cash out for
a $30,000 profit.
As you might suspect, its not
exactly quite this simple. There are
many tax issues to consider, and
your option plan might have some
special features. Read the plan
carefully.

Your Options by Kaye Thomas

Q
To buy a companys
stock, do I have to work
for it? K.F., Hickory, N.C.
A
Not at all. (Although some
companies do offer employees
stock options, stock grants or the
ability to buy shares of company
stock at a discount.) All you gener-
ally need is a brokerage account.
You can learn how to pick a good
brokerage at broker.fool.com.
Most major companies, and
many smaller ones, are pub-
licly traded. Examples: General

himself has never had
the guts to say it.
Indeed, while it is
famously difficult to
prove a negative, it
seems apparent that
fewpeople in all of
politics and media have had the guts to
say it. Did John McCain ever say it? Did
Rick Santorumor Bill OReilly?
So let us plant a little flag for, mark
with a yellowhighlighter, the thing U.S.
Rep. Raul Labrador said last Sunday on
Meet the Press: that it wouldnt mat-
ter if President Obama were a Muslim.
And if it seems rather much to be hand-
ing out medals for such a modest state-
ment of principle, well ... the principle
has been under fire for so long that even
a modest statement feels momentous.
In recent years, public figures have
made news for refuting (like McCain) or
failing to refute the canard that Obama
is a follower of Islam. But outside of
Colin Powell, who did so a fewyears
back on Meet the Press, it is difficult
to think of many or any who have
dared to confront the notion implicit in
the lie. Namely, that being a Muslimis
incompatible with being an American.
This is taken by some as self-evident
truth even as Muslimsoldiers risk their
lives on our battlefields, Muslimcops
risk their lives on our streets, Muslim
teachers teach our children, Muslim
reporters report our news, Muslimpoli-
ticians help to make our laws, and Mus-
lim-Americans struggle against those
who believe our sacred ideals cover
other people, but not them.
Thus, a fleeting statement that should
have been obvious to the point of mun-
danity feels instead like a water station
in the Mojave.
Labrador is no fan of the presidents.
His comment about Islamwas made en
route to a contention that Obamas
policies have weakened the nation.
Labrador is a Republican and a conserva-
tive froma very Republican and conser-
vative state, Idaho. It is his political and
ideological kin who are most responsib-
le for pushing and believing the
Obama-as-Muslimnarrative. All of
which imbues his remark with a wel-
come patina of political courage and
moral clarity.
Perhaps he would agree that what has
historically weakened this nation at least
as much as any policy the president has
ever pursued is the tiresome notion that
some of us are more American than the
rest of us, that the all in all men are
created equal refers only to those of the
right gender, genus, sexual or political
orientation, or faith. It is an idea ab-
horrent to the aforementioned sacred
ideals, yet one embraced eagerly in
recent years by those who apparently
feel bereft without someone to fear.
It is a shameful truth of American
history that there has never been a
shortage of someones to fear, nor of
those who were willing to maximize and
exploit that fear. It is an equally shame-
ful truth that Americans, in thrall to that
fear, have committed grievous sins
against both human rights and those
sacred ideals.
And always, it begins with some false,
implicit truth, some lie that gains such a
foothold in the popular imagination,
that becomes so pervasive and persua-
sive, no one even questions it anymore.
Some, because they dont think to; oth-
ers, because they dont dare to.
So someone says the German-Amer-
icans are traitors and lets string that one
up and no one says a thing.
Someone says the Japanese-Amer-
icans are spies and lets imprison them
all behind barbed wire and no one
raises a cry.
And someone says all the Muslims are
terrorists and we must rid our nation of
themby any means necessary and
one hears only the arias of the crickets.
It is in those complicit silences that
we lose ourselves, that we betray our
ideals and that mobs are born. So there
is nothing modest about even a modest
statement of principle. And one cannot
help but be glad Labrador, being what
he is, said what he said.
Its about time someone did.

ALLITtakes is one little
twit. Or a tweet, as the
case might be not that
the two are mutually
exclusive. Infact, very
likely the personwho
recently starteda rumor
about SouthCarolina
Gov. Nikki Haley was trying to create that
idiots delight buzz for his blog. Or
whatever little virtual temple he haderect-
edto himself.
So it goes inthe ridiculous political arena
inwhichwe nowfindourselves.
The rumor that Haley was about to be
indictedfor tax fraudwas so delicious
that other bloggers, tweeters andeven
some mainstreammedia outlets felt com-
pelledto repeat it.
Except that it wasnt true. Not evena little
bit. Sometwit thought it wouldbefunto
start a rumor andseewhat happenednext.
Weall knowwhat happens: Indictments
spreadlikewildfire; corrections couldnt
roast a marshmallow.
Thedamagetookonlya coupleof hours.
AndHaley, a risingstar intheRepublican

Mitt Romney, is all tooawareof thepotential
cost toher reputation. Shes beenthrough
this before. Whileshewas runninginthe
Republicanprimaryfor governor, twomen
steppedforwardtoclaimsexual dalliances

Obviously, SouthCarolinians either didnt
buyit or didnt care. Theattackwas sovile
and, frankly, not socrediblethat voters reac-
tedbycheckingtheboxbyHaleys name. Her
popularityas governor ebbs andflows as
thesethings go, but her appeal as a national
figuredoes not seemaffectedbylocal attacks.
Shes goingtobearoundfor a longtime.
Meanwhile, what Haleyexperiencedas a
target of therumor mill shouldbeof more

All of this happenedbetween12:52p.m.,

The next morning, The State newspaper,
SouthCarolinas largest, hada front-page

What is abominablyclear is that this sort
of thingcanhappentoanyoneat anytime.
Andmuchworsethings canbesaidthat cant

firebyreleasinga letter fromtheInternal

But what if, instead, the rumor were that
a candidate was once suspectedof child
abuse? Neighbors, who remembered
Candidate Aas quiet andpolite, nonethe-
less say they always suspected...
Most disappointing during this partic-
ular cycle was the failure of legitimate news
organizations to turnthe rumor over and
examine its underbelly before repeating it.
What happened to a minimumof two
corroborating sources before a story is
posted?
Even laymen unfamiliar with traditional
journalisms standards and procedures
learned that rule fromAll the Presidents
Men, the movie based on Woodward and
Bernsteins historic Watergate investiga-
tion.
That was then. Noweditors faced with
dwindling subscriptions and advertising
must compete with the twits who make it
up as they go. But the danger of trying to
keep up with twits and tweeters is that
eventually you might get good at it and
no better.
Integrity of information is the one thing
newspapers can promise readers that
other newmedia cant deliver with the
same consistency.
It isnt onlya matter of prideor evenof
survival of newspapers, inwhichI obviously

hings are a lot different today
than they were in 1972 when in-

young Washington Post journalists
Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward led
to the demise and resignation of Pres-
ident Richard M. Nixon.
Bernstein, now 68 and living in New

the courts all did their jobs and the
system worked to right a wrong.
Im not sure that kind of thing
would happen today in this hyper-par-

Though hes used to being
asked about his role in the
Watergate scandal and All
the Presidents Men, the
book he coauthored with
Woodward that was made into
a Robert Redford/Dustin
Hoffman movie, hell be at Mi-
sericordia to speak about a
1996 book he wrote with Mar-
co Politi titled His Holiness:
John Paul II & the History of
Our Time. Bernstein will dis-
cuss the Popes role in bring-
ing down the former Soviet
Union.
During a recent phone in-
terview with The Times Lead-
er, Bernstein said he was
proud to be associated with
Watergate and enjoys being
asked about that role because
it means people care.
The more people want to
know about what happened in
our history, the better, said
Bernstein, who has penned
six books, including those on
Nixon, Pope John Paul II and
Hillary Clinton.
Whether something such as
Watergate could happen today
and whether the reporting
that took place at the time
could be repeated were raised
during the interview.
Could it happen today?
Bernstein said hed be very
surprised if a president of
the United States were to be
willing to engage in the type
of illegal and unconstitution-
al, not just activities but sen-
sibilities. He also said he
thought that members of
Congress from the same po-
litical party as the president
might not be so willing to go
along with investigations
and possible impeachment
proceedings like Republicans
did in the case of Nixon.
He said partisanship has so
gripped Washington today
that he cant be so sure the
way Congress came together
to protect the integrity of the
office and the constitution in
the Watergate era would be re-
peated today.
As for the reporting, we
could do (it), Bernstein said.
Theres still a number of
great journalistic institutions
that will support this kind of
reporting. My concern would
be more how the reporting
would be received.
He added, We live in a dif-
ferent age.
Social media, 24-hour news
cycles, cable news networks,
media conglomerates, and ci-
tizen journalists have changed
the way news is reported and
received but, Bernstein noted,
true quality journalism can
still be found and produced.
Social media is an obvious-
ly important means of com-
munication, Bernstein said,
and the Web is a great report-
ing medium and subject to
great abuse.
His advice to young journal-
ists or students looking to en-
ter the field is to be a good
listener.
He said far too often
theres a tendency to jump
on the telephone or go see
people for very brief periods
of time with a preconceived
notion or seeking to manu-
facture controversy rather
than seeking what truly hap-
pened.
Use common sense, seek
out people and let them tell
their story. Dont substitute
your ideas for theirs, Bern-
stein said.
Bernstein noted that while
he believes there are some ve-
ry good and some very bad
journalists working today,
that is something that has not
changed. He said that has
been the case for quite some
time. What has changed, espe-
cially over the past 20 years,
is the audience.
You have equal problems of
fewer readers and viewers in
reading or watching hard,
complex factual information
and more interested in read-
ing and viewing information
that satisfies their ideolo-
gies, said Bernstein, adding
that its cultural, its politi-
cal.

Honestly it was terrifying to
look back and see nothing but
flames and to look in front of you
and see nothing but blackness.
Cory Booker
The 42-year-old mayor of Newark, N.J., a former
collegiate football player, described the scene last week as he rescued
a woman from a burning home in his neighborhood. Booker, who said
the experience gave him an even greater appreciation of firefighters
work, is slated to speak April 22 at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre.
His lecture is titled How to Change the World with Your Bare Hands.
DONT TEMPT me.
Put it away.
I have resisted Pong,
Space Invaders, Pac-Man
and Super Mario Bros.
I have scoffed at Aste-
roids, Donkey Kong and
entire generations of Game Boy.
Put it away.
Shut it off.
Im serious. Dont tempt me. ...
I have ignored Gran Turismo and Grand
Theft Auto. I showed no interest in Myst,
Doom or anything with wizards. I have
never worked a joystick. My phone is just a
phone.
Dont tempt me. Turn that screen off.
Im warning you. ...
I am talking about Words with Friends, a
terribly addicting app that is basically Scrab-
ble played long distance. It involves nothing
more than two players making words out of
the letters they are given, and trying to score
points by doing so.
My sister-in-law, Trisha, showed it to me a
few weeks ago. She handed me her iPad.
Youre a writer, she said. Help me.
That was a mistake.
The first time I tried it, I was on for an
hour. That is an hour longer than my lifetime
total on video games.
Im the guy who rolled his eyes at Halo.
Im the guy who never owned a PlayStation
or an Xbox. Im the guy who asked, Why
would anybody play The Sims? Isnt the real
world good enough?
Get that screen away from me.
Do not tell me the letters! ...
I am embarrassed by my attraction to
Words with Friends. Its a time vampire. But
whats a writer to do? They say there is a
match for everyone on the planet, and though
they are talking about love, maybe it applies
to video games, too.
All I know is I spent stupid time on Trishas
screen, trying to come up with a word that
used two Ds, two Us, two Ls and a C. Go
ahead. You try. It aint easy.
In addition, you want to put your word
over a triple-word square, or combine it with
another word so you get double the points, or
lay it down so it doesnt create opportunities
for your opponent ...
Wait. The opponents. Thats the best part.
They dont need to be with you. They dont
need to be in this country! You play your
word, send it in, and its the opponents turn,
whenever he or she gets around to it. Now.
Tomorrow. Next week.
You can have up to 20 games going simul-
taneously. Its like those guys in the park who
play multiple chessboards. Only Words with
Friends you can do in bed, in your under-
wear.
Not that Im revealing anything here.
Words with Friends is now huge. Of
course, like everything that is big news today,
it happened in the last five minutes.
OK. Maybe a little longer. Words with
Friends was started by a couple of game
developers in 2009. The legend is it wasnt
very popular, until singer John Mayer sent
out one tweet to a few million of his fans.
Its been skyrocketing ever since. More
than 8 million people play every day, and
actor Alec Baldwin was so intensely involved,
he refused to stop and got kicked off an
American Airlines flight.
Thats truly embarrassing. But so is this.
I like it. I confess. And I have never liked a
video game in my life. I ignored my Call of
Duty. I refused to enter the World of War-
craft. And the only correct spelling of we, in
my book, is we or whee not Wii.
How could a game that was nerdy 40 years
ago suddenly be so hip now? And so addict-
ing.
I dont know. Ask Baldwin. Meanwhile, put
it away. Do not tell me what seven letters you
have. Do not stick the phone near my nose
and reveal a triple-word square just sitting
there, next to a Q, and you have a U and an I
and oh, dear God! a Z.
Move. Out of my way. I will not give away
one more precious minute of life, even if my
entire working career has prepared me for
this app like a Jedi Knight wielding a magic
vocabulary.
Not interested. Go away.
OK. Gimme that phone. Just this once ...
The wonderful addicting world of Words with Friends

COMMENTARY
M I T C H A L B O M
DAN QUAYLE and Lloyd
Bentsen, Kennedy-Nixon,
Ford and Carter, Reagan-
Mondale, Bush-Clinton,
McCain and Obama; be-
fore the vote, they debat-
ed.
Since 1960, with the unfortunate excep-
tions of 1964 and more significantly 1968
and 72, Americans have insisted that their
candidates meet in civilized forums to
discuss the major issues of the day.
While you have been treated this presi-
dential election cycle to a record number of
Republican presidential primary debates
(20), we have not seen the last of these
intense, high-stakes, all-or-nothing, orator-
ical jousts.
Three additional presidential debates for
2012 already have been scheduled. They
will feature candidates who demonstrate
broad nationwide support, averaging at
minimum15 percent in four national polls,
and who are on the ballot in states with an
aggregate number of electoral votes equal
to the 270 required for victory.
Slated for the University of Denver on
Oct. 3, Hofstra University in Hempstead,
N.Y., on Oct. 16 and Lynn University in
Boca Raton, Fla., on the 22nd with one
vice presidential debate on Oct. 11 at Cen-
tre College in Danville, Ky. America will
vote once the candidates debate.
A candidate no-show? It is inconceivable.
Can you imagine Barack Obama and
Mitt Romney, or Joe Biden and (Ill tell you
later), refusing to meet in televised debate
to discuss the issues while declaring their
intentions and defending their positions
for our careful consideration? Rest assured
they will be on stage and in place at the
appointed hour.
An engaged electorate insists on candi-
date debates, and the voters in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania are no different.
Here in the 17th Congressional District
the League of Women Voters is sponsoring
a debate in what is arguably Pennsylvanias
marquee congressional primary of 2012
between Democrats Tim Holden of Schuyl-
kill County and Matt Cartwright of Moos-
ic.
The event is scheduled for 7 p.m. April
18 on the campus of the University of
Scranton. Cartwright has accepted the
leagues invitation; Holden has not. The
league and the university wait as the pri-
mary looms large on Tuesday, April 24.
Cartwright has challenged Holden to a
series of televised debates throughout the
gerrymandered 17th District that now
includes large swaths of Luzerne and Lack-
awanna counties. Holden has refused.
Lafayette College Democrats invited the
two candidates to debate the issues on
April 19 inside Lafayettes magnificent
Kirby Hall. Cartwright accepted the in-
vitation; Holden has not.
Is Holden holding out until its too late
to have the necessary cameras and print
reporters in place for proper coverage and
questioning, or is the incumbent simply
Holden out?
Either way, running from debates is bad
form, shoddy manners and a politics remi-
niscent of the days when Holden was a
Schuylkill County sheriff.
Voters in Northeastern Pennsylvania
expect the free exchange of ideas that
debates bring to the decision-making proc-
ess. If Holden expects to come up here and
represent this region and its people, con-
gressional debates are a virtual prereq-
uisite.
Instead he appears to rely on party in-
siders and the party organization in Lu-
zerne and Lackawanna counties to pull him
through. Good luck with that one.
Cartwrights grassroots campaign for the
Democratic nomination is clearly gaining
momentum. According to an article in Roll
Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill since
1955, a new poll released by the Cart-
wright campaign shows Cartwright now
inching ahead.
Last week Holden told The Times Lead-
ers Andrew Seder that he doesnt have the
time to debate. Holdens campaign advisers
mustve winced when they heard that reply.
Too busy for voters? Doesnt have the
time?
Really?
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas
found time for seven debates. Dan Quayle
two. Surely, Holden has time for one.
Holden should give voters the debate they deserve

A
T THE RISK of
sounding like the in-
grate who shows up
late for a wedding re-
ception, thenloudlycomplains
that his chicken cordon bleu is
cold, we have to say this:
The League of Women Vot-
ers got it wrong.
The area leagues decisionto
ban the public from recording
last weeks congressional de-
bate inKingstonset a badprec-
edent and wrongly suggested
that carefully controlling infor-
mation can somehow breed
better democracy. Not so.
The leagues event organiz-
ers, no doubt, had the best of
intentions. By limiting any re-
cording to professional
newsgathering outfits, they
probably hoped to prevent un-
scrupulous sorts from gather-
ing material to use in gotcha-
type campaign ads and web
postings.
Campaign agents toting re-
cording devices have been
known in recent years to trail
certain candidates, hoping to
catch slips of the tongue, ap-
parent flip-flopping on the is-
sues and other embarrassing
moments. Its abit devious, but
sometimes enlightening.
The league, a highly respect-
ed and nonpartisan group,
should not adopt the role of
policing political speech or
protectingcandidates fromthe
free flowof information even
if that informationcould, inthe
hands of some people, be ma-
nipulated, mistranslated or
twisted.
Allow the voting public to
use its judgment on the au-
thenticity and accuracy of
statements. Encourage the use
of technology to transmit
these public discussions onim-
portant civic issues to the
widest possible audience; trust
that certain attendees have on-
ly the best of intentions: for in-
stance, streaming an entire de-
bate to viewers in an unadul-
terated fashion.
By drawing up differing
rules for what a journalist and
a non-journalist can record,
league officers only create con-
fusion as to the rights of citi-
zens. Journalists, after all, are
merely stand-ins for residents
who cant attend a particular
government meeting or cam-
paign event. (By the way, the
news media typically are selec-
tive, though hopefully not par-
tisan, inwhat theyreport toau-
diences).
At future debates in Luzerne
County, the league should
dropits no-recordingrules. Let
camcorders and cell phones
capture, then convey, the con-
versation. Freedom of speech,
with all its pitfalls, must pre-
vail.
In the meantime, we remain
ardent fans of the League of
Women Voters and its volun-
teers who further the cause of
good government. We benefit
from their efforts and believe
in their mission.
But, on this matter, we had
to speak up.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
W
HAT ARE THEY
afraid of?
Thats the obvi-
ous question that
arises fromyet another moveby
the natural gas industry, and
their BFFs in Pennsylvania gov-
ernment, to keep secret (pro-
prietary, if you will) the toxic
chemicals that they are inject-
ing into the earth.
Act 13, the hydraulic fractur-
ing law passed in February, al-
readyqualifiedasamajor corpo-
rate giveaway, giving compa-
nies the right to overturn local
zoning laws and pretty much
drill anywhere. But buried in
the law, which went into effect
Saturday, is a gag order on doc-
tors. If physicians want to learn
the exact chemicals being used
in fracking, they must sign a
nondisclosure agreement that
prevents them from sharing
what they know with their pa-
tients or other doctors. At least
thats how many health profes-
sionals and environmentalists
read it.
Pennsylvania doctors already
were flying blind when it came
toansweringtheir patients anx-
ious questions about the health
effects of fracturing. In an essay
in the Harrisburg Patriot-News
in February, Dr. Marilyn Heine,
president of the Pennsylvania
Medical Society, reported that
some of her colleagues were be-
ing asked if symptoms such as
rashes might be tied to fracking
chemicals, or whether they
should have their well-water
tested. Shesaidthat medical ex-
pertise is being handcuffed by
a lack of research.
Act 13 adds a muzzle to the
handcuffs.
Sponsors of the bill say that
the confidentiality agreement is
necessary because the exact
cocktail of carcinogens and
650of 750of thechemicals used
in fracking are known to cause
cancer are trade secrets, and
that doctors might spread them
tocompetitors inthe oil andgas
industries.
Puh-lease. Isnt it far more
likelythat theyknowthat if peo-
ple knew about the massive
amounts of benzine and other
toxins to which they and their
kids have been exposed, they
wouldaskmorequestions and
ask them louder?

Holden missing
VA center issues
I
f Congressman Tim Holden
is concerned for the well-
being of the veterans at the
VA Medical Center in Plains
Township, why doesnt he
hear their grievances rather
than being satisfied with a
cooks tour by the center di-
rector to see what the admin-
istration chooses him to see?
The physicians and nurses
with their bloated salaries and
benefits have no need for
additional incentives, while
the disabled vets scrape along
without increased payments in
order to keep up with the
ever-increasing cost of living.
There exists a critical need
for an open-door policy on the
11th floor and a thorough
review of practices by staff. He
might begin with dental clinic
treatment, or lack thereof, and
attitudes toward patients
requiring complicated proce-
dures.
These matters require
prompt remedial action. Lip
service and photo-ops wont
do, Mr. Congressman.

recent commentary
(Health care reform law
wont fix insurance problems,
March 27) concerning Presi-
dent Obamas health care law
is an embarrassment to the
constituents of his district as
well as to the office he holds.
He expresses pride in the
fact that he voted against the
bill a bill that, if looked at
carefully, contains solid bene-
fits for Americans such as
coverage despite pre-existing
conditions, available coverage
for the 40 million who cannot
afford coverage and extended
coverage for children who are
out of school but not yet on
their own.
He offers nothing to replace
the loss of these benefits and
nothing to address the overall
problems with our health care
system other than steps to
reduce the cost of malpractice
insurance and the ability to
purchase health insurance
across state lines. Well, the
first benefits doctors, and the
second measure benefits in-
surance companies. Is there
something for the average
citizen?
He further asserts that
European countries are run-
ning away from their own
government-sponsored health
care systems at race car speed,
having learned the lesson that
government-sponsored health
care doesnt work. Nonsense.
Germany and the Scandina-
vian countries have had gov-
ernment-run health care since
the 19th century. Germanys
universal health care system
was established in 1869; it has
endured 143 years and two
world wars, neither of which
had particularly favorable
outcomes for Germany. It also
should be noted that Germany
has only 2 percent unemploy-
ment at present and 1 mil-
lion unfilled skilled job open-
ings.
Other European countries
are having economic prob-
lems, and they are adjusting
the social programs according-
ly. But to assert that they are
even toying with the abandon-
ment of government-spon-
sored health care is ridiculous.
What would they want as an
alternative: our system? Eu-
ropeans have superior health
care to Americans and are
statistically much healthier
than we are. The care that
they receive is not inferior.
Congressman Barletta offers
stern warnings about the
dangers of government health
care systems, but becomes
protective and concerned on
the subject of Medicare.
Medicare is government-run
health care. Medicare is social-
ized medicine. Is there a Medi-
care recipient who wants to
scrap Medicare? Is there an
elected member of the govern-
ment who openly demands an
end to Medicare on the
grounds that it is a govern-
ment plan that cannot pos-
sibly work?
There are only 537 elected
positions in the federal gov-
ernment. What is needed is
Medicare for everyone, even
Mr. Barletta. What is not
needed is another term for Mr.
Barletta.

T

general will decide the
future of our state.
Will our next attorney gen-

that person fight for justice on

We deserve an attorney
general who will stand up to
Republicans in Harrisburg and

torney general who will prose-
cute criminals wherever they
exist.
We deserve Patrick Murphy.
Whether halfway around
the world in Iraq or here at
home, Patrick Murphy has
dedicated his life to protecting
Pennsylvania families. He is
running for attorney general
because he believes that the
office can be more than a
law-and-order position. Pa-
trick knows that the office can
do more to protect our rights
and be a strong voice in the
debate over issues that affect
all Pennsylvanians.
I want an attorney general
who will use his elected posi-
tion to check Gov. Corbett and
his extreme right-wing agen-

I know I can trust Patrick

Writer: Repeal
civil rights laws
T
oo many elected officials
are too afraid to speak the
truth. The people who
brought crime to this area are
Hispanic migrants from Cen-
tral and Latin America. The
only way to get rid of crime is
to get rid of them.
Democracy allows us the
use of peaceful means to re-
peal the civil rights acts so
that we can do just that. In-
stead of talking about it quiet-
ly, please sign an application
for a petition for initiative to
have the revocation of civil
rights laws put on the Luzerne
County agenda and eventually
on a statewide referendum.
There is no doubt that the
courts initially will kick back
an overt county and state law
that intentionally takes civil
rights away from Hispanics;
but getting the revocation of
civil rights on a statewide
referendum will send a neces-
sary and powerful message to
both Harrisburg and Washing-
ton.
To get started under the
new Luzerne County home
rule form of government, 100
people need to sign an applica-
tion for a petition. Their signa-
tures, names and addresses
must be on a letter that con-
tains the language of the issue
that will appear on the pet-
ition. A petition is then issued
by the county clerk and, once
there are enough signatures,
the county council must vote
on the matter.
The population of Hazleton
and the Hispanic population
cannot meld into one pop-
ulation. I am tired of hearing
politicians and loudmouth
business leaders say such
garbage.

But the kicker is this health

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SUNDAY, APRIL 15, 2012 PAGE 5E
V I E W S
HERE WE go
again.
At the be-
ginning of his
presidency,
Barack Obama
argued that
the countrys
spiraling debt was largely the
result of exploding health care
costs. That was true. He then
said the cure for these explod-
ing costs would be his health
care reform. That was not true.
It was obvious at the time
that it could never be true. If
government gives health insur-
ance to 33 million uninsured,
that costs. Costs a lot. Theres
no free lunch.
Now we know. The Congres-
sional Budget Offices latest
estimate is that Obamacare
will add $1.76 trillion in federal
expenditures through 2022.
And, as one of the Medicare
trustees has just made clear, if
you dont double count the
$575 billion set aside for the
Medicare trust fund, Obama-
care adds to the already crush-
ing national debt.
Three years later, we are back
to smoke and mirrors. This
time its not health care but the
Buffett Rule, which would im-
pose a minimum 30 percent
effective tax rate on million-
aires. Here is how Obama in-
troduced it last September:
Warren Buffetts secretary
shouldnt pay a (higher) tax
rate than Warren Buffett. ... And
that basic principle of fairness,
if applied to our tax code, could
raise enough money to stabi-
lize our debt and deficits for the
next decade. ... This is not
politics; this is math.
OK. Lets do the math. The
Joint Committee on Taxation
estimates this new tax would
yield between $4 billion and $5
billion a year. If we collect the
Buffett tax for the next 250
years a span longer than the
life of this republic it would
not cover the Obama deficit for
2011 alone.
As an approach to our moun-
tain of debt, the Buffett Rule is
a farce. And yet Obama repeat-
ed the ridiculous claim again
last week. It will help us close
our deficit. Does he really
think were that stupid?
Hence the fallback: The Buf-
fett Rule is a first step in tax
reform. On the contrary. Its a
substitute for tax reform, an
evasion of tax reform. In three
years, Obama hasnt touched
tax (or, for that matter, entitle-
ment) reform, and clearly has
no intention to. The Buffett
Rule is nothing but a form of
redistributionism that has van-
ishingly little to do with debt
reduction and everything to do
with re-election.
As such, its clever. It deftly
channels the sentiment under-
lying Occupy Wall Street (origi-
nal version, before its slovenly,
whiny, aggressive weirdness
made it politically toxic). It
perfectly pits the 99 percent
against the 1 percent. Indeed, it
is OWS translated into legisla-
tion, something the actual
occupiers never had the wit to
come up with.
Clever politics, but in terms
of economics, its worse than
useless. Its counterproductive.
The reason Buffett and Mitt
Romney pay roughly 15 percent
in taxes is that their income is
principally capital gains. The
Buffett Rule is, in fact, a dis-
guised tax hike on capital gains.
But Obama prefers to present it
as just an alternative minimum
tax because 50 years of econom-
ic history show that raising the
capital gains tax backfires: It
reduces federal revenues, while
lowering the tax raises reve-
nues.
No matter. Obama had fa-
mously said in 2008 that even if
thats the case, hed still raise
the capital gains tax for the
sake of fairness.
For Obama, fairness is the
supreme social value. And
fairness is what he is running
on although he is not pre-
pared to come clean on its
price. Or even acknowledge
that there is a price. Instead,
Obama throws in a free eco-
nomic lunch for all. This is not
just about fairness, he insisted
on Wednesday. This is also
about growth.
Growth? The United States
has the highest corporate tax
rate in the industrialized world.
Now, in the middle of a histor-
ically weak recovery, Obama
wants to raise our capital gains
tax to the fourth highest. No
better way to discourage in-
vestment and the jobs and
growth that come with it.
Three years ago, Obama
promised universal health care
that saves money. Today, he
offers a capital gains tax hike
that spurs economic growth.
This is free-lunch egalitarian-
ism.
The Buffett Rule redistributes
deck chairs on the Titanic,
ostensibly to make more avail-
able for those in steerage. Nice
idea, but the iceberg cometh.
The enterprise is an exercise in
misdirection a distraction not
only from Obamas dismal re-
cord on growth and unemploy-
ment but, more important,
from his dereliction of duty in
failing to this day to address the
utterly predictable and devas-
tating debt crisis ahead.

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Don Carey and
words by Mark E. Jones
THE Susque-
hanna River is
a part of my
life.
As a boy I
played on its
banks, as an
adult I wrote
about its incredible power and
the criminal pollution of its
waters.
Rising as the outlet of Otsego
Lake in Cooperstown, N.Y., and
winding through Pennsylvania
and Maryland into the Chesa-
peake Bay, the Susquehanna is
an important global artery, the
16th largest river in America and
second only to the Amazon
River in the Western Hemi-
sphere in the number of indige-
nous plant species.
It serves as an environmental
barometer and a living symbol of
the ravaging effects of unregu-
lated polluters.
Its power is enormous, last
year coming once again within
inches of mass destruction and
causing millions of dollars in
damage to one of its original
settlements of West Pittston.
Those of us who remember the
1972 Agnes flood will never
forget the full measure of its
muscle.
In 1959, the Knox Mine disas-
ter took 12 lives when the river
burst into the mines, hastening
the end of deep coal mining in
the Wyoming Valley. In a futile
effort to plug the void where the
river crashed into the mines, a
huge whirlpool gobbled railroad
cars like rubber duckies.
When I was a boy in the 1960s
in the Pittston Junction, where
the Lackawanna River joins the
Susquehanna, pollution had
reached historic levels, the result
of a century of coal mining and
industrial dumping. Like a bad
dream, I can still picture the
multicolored industrial waste,
the orange and purple slicks of
chemicals, sitting like a poison-
ous soup around dead trees in
the lifeless, backwater flats of
the Susquehanna.
In my late teens, I took a ca-
noe from Binghamton, N.Y., to
Pittston, still the best weeklong
trip of my life. But when I ar-
rived at Pittston, after a beautiful
flow through the Endless Moun-
tains, the odor of contamination
was sickening. I was home.
In the 1970s, it was learned by
a chance testing of the Butler
Mine Tunnel in Pittston that
chemical companies from New
York and New Jersey were ille-
gally dumping toxic waste into
the vast catacombs of the aban-
doned mines through illegal
bore holes drilled conveniently
close to our interstate highway
system. The range of toxins
being dumped, including cya-
nide, was frightening.
Cancer rates in neighborhoods
from Pittston to Plymouth, even
when adjusted for an aging pop-
ulation, were higher than nation-
al levels. The Wyoming Valley
had become an industrial waste-
land.
But in the early 1970s, a Re-
publican president approved the
Environmental Protection Agen-
cy, the hated EPA of the mod-
ern Republican Party. And law
enforcement finally cracked the
connection between corpora-
tions and organized crime that
was profiting from the illegal
dumping of liquid death.
Remarkably, the Susquehanna
began to cleanse itself. Projects
on the polluted Lackawanna
worked, and the Susquehanna
from Pittston southward began
to come to life again.
In the 1980s, I would spend
my Mondays fishing on the river,
once catching a 36-inch shiny,
light gray channel cat that
looked like a shark with whisk-
ers, and a 50-inch muskie that
looked like something from the
Jurassic. The dead river of my
youth began jumping with small-
mouth bass and walleye.
Tree huggers like me began
dreaming of a day when the
shad run would return, a jour-
ney of long forgotten fish that
would swim upstream from the
Atlantic Ocean to upstate New
York to spawn. The shad run
was described by native Amer-
icans, the last people to see it, as
a white wave coming up the
river, providing nourishment for
hundreds of species.
In 1988 I bought a fishing boat
and won a statewide writing
award for a column detailing the
farcical misadventure of launch-
ing it with my 10-year-old daugh-
ter into a deep, fast current in
Harding. Luckily, she is still alive
and the reason I reside today in
Seattle, where she has made me
into a grandpa.
The Susquehanna, dating back
to the Mesozoic era 250 million
years ago, is one of the worlds
most amazing rivers. When it
comes to protecting it, we
should never listen to conserva-
tive cavemen who would turn
back the clock. With natural gas
fracking fast becoming a major
industry, regulations should be
strictly enforced, not removed.
The regressive right that de-
nies science would do away with
the EPA and all regulation, once
again leaving the health of the
Susquehanna River to those who
would poison it for profit, a
history we can not afford to
repeat.
Susquehanna at risk from the regressive right

John Watson is the former editor of

AS WE wait for the Supreme Court to
render its verdict on health reform in
June, there is an important question to
ponder: Does American exceptionalism
extend to health care? Are we different
than other advanced democracies?
The country was jolted by the vigor
of the conservative justices attack on
the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare.
It is now entirely possible that the
five-man conservative majority will
hold the centerpiece of the law, the
individual mandate, unconstitutional,
along with the requirement that insure-
rs cover high-risk customers for the
same price as healthy ones. Indeed, the
court might overturn the whole act.
Democrats are dismayed; Repub-
licans are encouraged. But lets consid-
er the larger picture.
The ACA is Americas best shot at
providing universal health care through
the private insurance market. The rest
of the developed world has abandoned
private health insurance in favor of
systems closer to single payer, where
everyone receives comprehensive bene-
fits paid for by taxes or tightly regu-
lated prices. So far, these systems have
achieved better health outcomes for a
fraction of what we pay.
There is a reason private health
insurance, which served us well for
many years, is failing in America now.
In the last half-century, medicine has
been completely transformed.
Insurance works best where there is
a large group of people at low risk for
the covered event, which is rare, limit-
ed in time and cost, unpredictable as to
individuals but actuarially predictable
for the group. Think automobile acci-
dents.
Illness and injury were once like that:
you never knew who would break a leg,
get pneumonia or have a heart attack.
The stricken individual would get
surgery, or the few medicines we had,
and recover or die. What happened last
year had no bearing on what happened
next year.
Modern medicine has changed all
that. As we learn more, and can do
more, diseases that used to be acute
and rapidly fatal cancer, heart at-
tacks, even HIV have become chron-
ic. With appropriate treatment patients
can live with their illnesses for dec-
ades. Moreover, chronically ill people
are at risk for predictable, expensive
complications: people with diabetes
sometimes develop kidney failure,
cancer might recur.
So, much disease is now common,
predictable and expensive.
The core competence of insurers is
risk management: It is up to them to
evaluate risks, and charge enough to
cover anticipated losses, with some-
thing left over for themselves.
Insurers compete vigorously for
healthy customers by offering low
premiums. Too many sick patients in
the pool can ruin an insurers day, and
force it to raise premiums. Higher
premiums can drive the healthy cus-
tomers into the arms of a competitor.
Insurers call this the death spiral.
Modern medicine allows insurers to
identify high-risk, high-cost customers
early, and avoid them. That is why,
unless it is tightly regulated, insurance
is often unavailable to those who need
it most, and insurers drop sick patients
at the first opportunity.
The individual mandate in the ACA
addresses this problem by forcing the
healthy in with the sick, which means
healthy customers premiums would
likely go up.
Supporters of the ACA also expect
insurers to use the market to drive
down health care costs, by bargaining
with providers. To date, insurers have
had limited success: It is hard to force
prices down at the only hospital in
town, or the best. On the price front,
Medicare has done much better.
Moreover, insurers have no control
over the real cost drivers in American
health care: ever more expensive tech-
nology and drugs (which might be
little better than what is already on the
market), physicians who flock to profit-
able specialties. Medicare does not
control these things either, but it could.
So maybe other Western countries
had good reason to go with a public
insurance model, where everyone is
really in the same pool, pays the same,
gets comprehensive benefits with limit-
ed co-pays, and the government regu-
lates provider prices.
A system where insurance compa-
nies can design products, set prices
and choose customers, where custom-
ers are likewise free to pick and choose,
will give us just what we have: insured
citizens facing rising premiums for
reduced coverage, growing numbers
lacking coverage and care.
The ACA is the last, best chance for
Americans to receive health care
through a private insurance market.
Personally, I doubt it will work. But if
the Supreme Court throws out the
individual mandate, we will have to
decide whether, when the chips are
down, we are all in this together, or
ones freedom to choose to participate
is even more important. This decision
will test the American character.
Affordable Care Act is last chance to avoid health insurance death spiral

TL hits mark with
Watson column
A
n exuberant thank-you to
The Times Leader for
adding John Watsons
commentary to the newspaper.
He writes with clarity and a
sense of reason that is uncom-
mon anymore. While it is a
struggle for me to get past the
second paragraph of most
columnists pieces, a second
reading of Watsons opinion is
not unusual.
His column of April 8, re-
garding the Nation Rifle Asso-
ciation, was of particular in-
terest because I worked for the
NRA when I was starting my
career.
Even though I was quite
young, the internal memos (no
email back then) coming
across my desk were starting
to make me think that this
wasnt the marksman/gun-
collector organization it was
pretending to be. Fear is an
easy sell, and the NRA has
been pushing it a long time.
John, keep it coming. And
may your voice reach farther
and farther.

ber 42 in honor of Robinson
and his tremendous contribu-
tions not only to baseball, but
also to our society, civil rights
and diversity. Robinsons uni-
form number 42 has been
retired by every team in the
major leagues, and the last
active player to wear this num-
ber throughout the season is
New York Yankee closer Mar-
iano Rivera.
Robinson, of course, will
forever be known as the man
who broke baseballs color
barrier. As we remember Rob-
inson and his rightful place in
history, though, I also call your
attention to some players not
as well known: Welday Walker,
Moses Fleetwood Walker and
William Edward White.
Welday Walker played in five
games for the Toledo Blue
Stockings in 1884, getting four
hits and batting .222. His
brother, Moses Fleetwood
Walker, appeared in 42 games,
hitting .261 and scoring 23
runs. It wasnt the Walker
brothers statistics that were
important, though; it was the
color of their skin.
More than 60 years before
Robinson played for the Brook-
lyn Dodgers, Moses Fleetwood
Walker was known as the first
African American to play ma-
jor league ball. That desig-
nation was challenged by The
Society for Baseball Research,
with the finding that William
Edward White might have
been Major League Baseballs
first black player. White ap-
peared in one game for the
Providence Grays in 1879;
however, he was considered to
be of mixed race. In fact,
White was listed as Caucasian
in the 1880 census, although
he might have been masque-
rading as a white man to avoid
the racism of that time.
Racism led to their dismiss-
als from baseball, and it affect-
ed Moses Fleetwood Walker in
an even greater way. Defend-
ing himself from an attack by
some white men in 1891, he
stabbed and killed one of his
attackers. Walker was arrested
and charged with second-
degree murder; however, he
claimed self-defense and was
acquitted of the charges. Sadly,
he came to believe that whites
and blacks would never co-
exist peacefully.
While there is still much
work to be done regarding
diversity in our society, Jackie
Robinson, the Walker brothers
and William White all certain-
ly played a role in helping to
move it forward.
Everyone should remember
that throughout the year, not
only on Jackie Robinson Day.

Youve heardher poundingaway on
her guitar onPublic Square, inthe bar
down the street and even at the local
bowling alley. She comes in many in-
carnations, froma one-woman acous-
tic show to a duo with Dustin Dre-
vitch of Lemongelli to part of the
group Flaxy Morgan.
K8, a 33-year-old Wilkes-Barre
rocker and Hazleton native pro-
nounce her name Kate has been a
part of the local music scene for more
than a decade now. Her sound is un-
mistakable, andit brings withit anev-
er-growing fan base.
I have done so much in my time as
a musician. I love it, she said. Im
thankful for everyone whos support-
ed me over the years.
Her heartfelt lyrics, though some-
times dark, are offset by upbeat in-
strumentation. She laces her stories
through sounds based in acoustic
rock and folk with traces of pop.
K8 started early, writing her first
song when she was 6 years old, she
says.
It was silly, a song for my moms
birthday, but it had lyrics, a melody,
and a little piano part that went to it,
she said. I was very proud of it.
She took piano lessons and eventu-
ally picked up a guitar and never put
down.
When she was 21 she recorded a
multisong demo with Tommy Bruno
from Kartune.
It was very basic and stripped
down, just me with an acoustic guitar
or me and a piano, she said. Some
people might consider that my first
recording.
That recording was titled Be-
cause, asort of answer tothenameof
the main track: Why?
In2004K8put out what she consid-
ers her first major release, Some-
thing Out of Nothing. She is close to
finishing a follow-up to Something
and hopes to have it out this year.
K8s music, though well-known lo-
cally, also has gone out on national
airwaves. From 2004 to 2008 her vo-
cals were part of a Days Inn commer-
cial that used the tune Keep on the
Sunny Side.
K8 has a full-time job in addition to
the shows she plays throughout the
week and weekends. Its a taxing but
necessary schedule, she says.
There are highs and lows in this
business, and once something good
happens to you it can be hard to keep
that wave going, she said. Youve
got to get involved in a lot of things to
keep that high in motion.
No matter the high or the low, K8s
love for music runs deep.
Ononehandits selfishbecauseits
something youdo, at least inmy case,
to have a release, kind of how people
might work out when theyre upset.
At the same time, if youre done
performing a song you wrote, and
someone comes up to you and says, I
broke up with my boyfriend, and that
was the song that helped me through
it, that means the world to you. It
may be my personal release, but it al-
so touched someone elses life and af-
fected them in a positive way.
ON THE SCENE
Chackos bowling alley in Wilkes-
Barre is just one venue local musi-
cian K8 plays. The versatile per-
former has made a name for herself
on the local music scene during the
past decade.

Taylor Schilling doesnt just star in
The Lucky One. She exemplifies the ti-
tle. Best known for her turn on the short-
lived TV show Mercy, the 27-year-old
Boston native is about to receive a major
career boost thanks to a starring role op-
posite Hollywood heartthrob Zac Efron.
And thats just the beginning of her big-
screen run. Shell also pop up as Ben Af-
flecks wife in Argo, a political thriller
due intheaters onSept. 14. Andnext year,

Upper Darby-shot The Silver Linings
Playbook, ablackcomedyabout aformer
high-school teacher who attempts to win
back his ex-wife.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself, I
certainly do, she says. And the best part
is being able to just wake up in the morn-
ing and go off and do what I love.
After theuntimelycancellationof Mer-
cy, Schilling lookedlike she might go the
way of other talented TV stars who are
never heard from again. But instead, she
nabbed the starring role once earmarked
for AngelinaJolieinthebig-screenadapta-
tion of Ayn Rands Atlas Shrugged.
While the movie received savage re-
views, Schilling was mostly spared any
brick bats. Not long afterward, she went
up against dozens of other actresses try-
ing out for the high-profile role of Efrons
sweetie in The Lucky One.
Even though director Scott Hicks

and was knocked out by her reading, he

For The Times Leader
She has an extraordinary immediacy about her as an ac-

thats in essence what acting should do; you accept that per-

AN FRANCISCO To fans and the countless collectors who helped
build painter Thomas Kinkades commercial-art empire, his idealized
vision of the world usually served as a simple, soothing addition to the
living-room wall: a soft depiction of a churning seascape or a colorful
garden or a cottage brimming with warmlight. Kinkades vision, and the art-
works he prolifically created from it, paid off handsomely for the self-de-
scribed painter of light, whose business grew into franchised galleries, re-
produced artwork and spin-off products said to fetch at their peak some $100
million annually and adorn roughly 10 million homes.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Do the ends justify the
means? Ethical matters
will arise. Everyone has a
different idea about where
the line is and who has
crossed it. You dont have
to draw a conclusion on
the matter just yet. Think
it over.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
The Golden Rule only
works well if what you
want done unto you is
the same thing the other
in question would prefer.
Better to find out what
that person really wants
first.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
When you spend time with
your friend, what happens
is more than conversa-
tion. Theres a connection
occurring that goes much
deeper than words. You
rely on your loved ones,
and they rely on you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
The simplest way to get
what you want is to ask for
it. Just because its simple
doesnt mean its easy. In
order to ask, you have to
risk rejection. But if you
dont ask, you risk more
than that.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
will be keenly aware of
your need for relationships
with substance, and youll
be drawn to deep thinkers.
It wont take much to start
up an open and meaning-
ful dialogue.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Youll be in a funny kind of
mood. You may joke in a
borderline appropriate way
or issue a dare. Youll use
the element of surprise.
Your humor works because
its unexpected and also
because youre hilarious.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You usually like to consid-
er every choice available
to you. However, youll cur-
rently be in an uncharac-
teristically decisive mood,
and once you make a deci-
sion, youre not likely to
back down, reverse it or
change it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Life will bring you super-
fluous ingredients. With so
many choices available to
you, it may be challenging
to stick to the recipe. But
if you do, youll love what
you accomplish with sim-
ply a plan and the patience
to follow each step.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Youll be looking for
opinions to guide your
next move. Youre not
likely to trust advertisers
or critics unless you know
them personally. Friends
will give you your best
leads.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Youll finally get
the chance to relax and
release blocked emotions.
As your sign mate Henry
Miller wrote: Our own
physical body possesses
a wisdom which we who
inhabit the body lack.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Youre powerful, and youll
walk a fine line between
being influential and being
manipulative. Manipulation
is when you trick someone
into wanting what youd
like them to want and
make them believe it was
their idea all along.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Before you invent new
methods to attain your
goals, make sure youve
given the old ones a try.
The action that will be
most effective may also be
so obvious that its easy to
miss.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (April
15). The attitude of hope
and optimism you devel-
oped as a child will color
your world this year. Try
to soar beyond the level of
optimism you were taught,
because what you believe
will come true. May and
June bring financial wins.
Youll love the special
attention you get in June.
Youll present your works
in a public forum in July.
Aries and Virgo people
adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 30, 29, 1, 38
and 13.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles,
CA 90069
4/15
DEAR ABBY
Thoughtful gifts convey
thanks for hospitality
Dear Abby:
Im con-
fused about
the proto-
col in thank-
ing or re-
paying
someone after staying sev-
eral nights at their home.
My feeling is, if youre stay-
ing with people, the nicest
way to thank them for
their hospitality is to pay
for most, if not all, the
lunches and dinners you
share with them when
you dine out. That way,
you lessen the monetary
burden of your visit, and it
gives you a chance to say
thank you for the use of
their home.
Some visitors seem to
think that when they come
to your home, you should
not only put them up, but
also pay for all their ac-
tivities while you show
them your town. What is
correct? Or is it a matter of
preference?
Visiting From Phoenix
Dear Visiting: Accord-
ing to Emily Post, when a
guest stays overnight, a nice
bottle of wine would be a
proper gift if you know your
hosts drink and their pre-
ference. If there are chil-
dren in the household, a
game they can all enjoy or
candy might be nice. If you
will be staying longer, she
suggests a picture frame
with a photo taken during
your visit sent afterward, a
houseplant in a decorative
pot, hand towels or beach
towels.
And I agree with you that
treating your host(s) to a
nice dinner during your
visit would be gracious and
thoughtful.
Dear Abby: One of my best
supervisors is in a same-
sex relationship. She and
her partner are raising three
wonderful children from
previous marriages. I have
introduced them to my hus-
band at the office as well as
work-related social events.
He says he hates them
because he believes their
relationship broke up their
marriages and its wrong
to raise their children this
way.
When he encounters them
he refuses to acknowledge
them and will snarl when
near them. Neither of them
have done anything to de-
serve this treatment, and it
makes me embarrassed and
ashamed of him. Ive tried to
reason with him nothing
works. I told him flat out he
can have his opinions, but
I expect him to treat them
with respect.
Im to the point where I
have to attend work-related
functions alone and not al-
low him to come to my of-
fice. Thats one solution,
but Im still upset about
his attitude in general. Any
advice would be greatly
appreciated.
Upset in Texas
Dear Upset: I suspect that
your husbands reason for
hating your supervisor
has less to do with the fact
that she and her partner
ended their marriages, and
more to do with knee-jerk
homophobia. Children
who are raised in happy
homes do better than those
who are raised in a house-
hold filled with unresolved
tension. I cant change your
husbands attitude, and
neither can you. Only he
can do that, but enlight-
enment isnt likely to be
achieved until he recognizes
a need for it.
P.S. His manners are atro-
cious, and youre right to
keep him apart from your
work environment.
Dear Abby: Due to a health
problem that caused some
of my hair to break and fall
out, I have recently begun
wearing a wig. At a social
function a woman who was
not a friend of mine ap-
proached me and asked if
I was wearing a hairpiece.
How could I respond to such
a rude question without
admitting that I am wearing
a wig?
Stumped in Pennsylvania
Dear Stumped: Try this:
Ill forgive you for asking
that question if youll forgive
me for not answering.

Kinkade, whodiedonApril 6of
what appeared to be natural caus-
es in Los Gatos, Calif., embraced
his popularity even as he drew
less than appreciative attention
from those within the art estab-
lishment who derided him, at
least in part, for appealing so bra-
zenly to the widest possible audi-
ence.
In their minds, he represented
thelowest typeof art,saidJeffrey
Vallance, an artist who hosted a
showof Kinkades artworkinSan-
taAna, Calif., in2004. Hewas dif-
ferent fromother artists. Youkind
of felt like he was giving people
what they wanted.
Kinkades art empire included
reproductions of his numerous
paintings in hand-signed litho-
graphs, canvas prints, books and
posters, calendars, magazine cov-
ers, cards, collector plates and fi-
gurines. As his art drewwider and
wider attention, Kinkade didnt
shy away.
It is clear that everyday people
needanart theycanenjoy, believe
in and understand, he wrote in a
catalog to the 2004 show.
For Kinkade, such art meant
light-infused renderings of tran-
quil landscape scenes, homes and
churches that evokedanidealized
past, some of which included reli-
gious iconography.
As word of Kinkades untimely
death at age 54 spread Saturday,
fans flocked to some galleries to
buy his work.
Its crazy beautiful. Were
struggling with our own emo-
tions, yet the public is coming in
and just buying art off the wall,
said Ester Wells, gallery director
at the Thomas Kinkade Signature
Gallery in Pismo Beach, Calif.
Right now, people are just com-
ing in and buying everything in
our inventory.
Many customers bought art as
a tribute while others saidit was a
smart investment: They feel his
work will now be worth more
down the road, Wells said. Others
stopped by just to say how sorry
they were to hear of his death.
Were going to lose a great art-
ist tothe worldbut well never for-
get him, Wells said, adding that
she thinks Kinkade will be re-
membered as another Norman
Rockwell
Kinkade regarded Rockwell as
his earliest hero. His mom had a
big collection of copies of Satur-
day Evening Post magazines, he
saidinabiographyonhis website.
The scenes were nostalgic and
brought back very happy memo-
ries for people, said Marty
Brown, whoowns four galleries in
Southern California that sell Kin-
kade paintings. Browns galleries
hadalready hada recordsales day
by noon the day after the artists
death, he said.
The customers ranged fromcu-
rious people whod seen news of
the death to longtime collectors
purchasing a few more pieces.
Some people are coming and
buying a couple or buying their
first piece, or just buying some-
thing. But they all feel pretty bad,
to tell you the truth, he said.
Kinkadehadafanbasethat was
unprecedented, and he made col-
lectors out of the many people
who brought his art into their
homes.
Thatsmarket penetrationthat
weve never seen in art, for sure,
Brown said.
Yet some of the qualities that
made Kinkades art popular and
accessible toeveryday consumers
also led to its criticism from art
experts.
I think the reason you proba-
bly arent goingtofindhis workin
many museums, if any, is that
there really wasnt anything very
innovative about what he was do-
ing, said Michael Darling, chief
curator of Chicagos Museum of
Contemporary Art. I really think
that he didnt bring anything new
to art.
Kinkade also was criticized for
selling reproductions of his
works, not the originals.
That was something that
drove the art world crazy, Val-
lance said. You were never really
buying the real thing, you were
buying something made by a ma-
chine.
In the 2004 catalog to his Cali-
fornia show, Kinkade offered an
answer to his critics, saying he
didnt lookdownuponanytype of
art.
As to the myriads of products
that have been developed from
my paintings, I canonly state that
I havealways hadtheattitudethat
art in whatever format it is acces-
sible to people is good, he wrote.
All forms of art reproduction
have meaning to some body of
people.
But Alexis Boylan, whoediteda
2011 book of essays, Thomas
Kinkade: The Artist in the Mall,
said Kinkade presented his art as
value-driven and contrasted it
withrapmusic andother forms of
art that he was less fond of.
He saw his art as antagonistic
towards other forms of artistic ex-
pression, she said. He was very
antagonistic towards modernand
contemporary art.
Amid the success, though, Kin-
kade had run into personal diffi-
culties in recent years.
In June 2010, he was arrested
outside Carmel, Calif., on suspi-
cion of driving under the influen-
ce. That same year, one of his
companies also filed for Chapter
11bankruptcy. Thebankruptcyfil-
ing came as the company had
started making payments on an
almost $3 million court award
against it inalawsuit filedbyaVir-
ginia couple, Karen Hazlewood
and Jeff Spinello.
The Virginia gallery owners
sued Kinkade and his company in
2003, arguing that hed fraudu-
lentlypersuadedthemtoinvest in
a licensed Kinkade gallery, ac-
cordingtotheLosAngelesTimes.
The couple allegedthat they were
being undercut by discount sell-
ers whoseprices theywerebarred
frommatching, andtheyhadmer-
chandise they couldnt sell.
The court eventually sided
with the couple. Kinkade faced
similar lawsuits from other own-
ers as a number of Kinkade galler-
ies failed from1997 to 2005.
Brown said he hopes people re-
member Kinkade not only as a
commercially successful artist
but one who raised millions for
charity by auctioning his works.
Weve got a lot of people out
there today that are a little sadder
today because Thomas Kinkade
passed away, he said, adding: I
just hope that hes in a better
place.

scores of other actresses. In the
backof hismind, though, Schilling
was the one.
Taylor Schillingwas just areve-
lation to me, Hicks told movie-
web.com. She was the very first
person that (I read) and I just
kept gravitating back to (her). She
has an extraordinary immediacy
about her as an actress. You just
believe what shes saying. It
sounds silly, but thats in essence
what acting should do; you accept
that person in that situation. I
thought she was wonderful.
The Lucky One, due in thea-
ters Friday, stars Efron as a U.S.
Marine stationed in Iraq who one
day notices a discarded photo-
graph of a young woman buried in
the sand. When he gets up to re-
trieve the picture, he escapes a
bombing that kills several mem-
bers of his platoon. The photo be-
comes his lucky charm.
Returning home after his third
tour of duty, Efron sets out to dis-
cover the identity of the girl in the
picture. Thanks to a distinctive
lighthouse in the background of
the snapshot, he tracks her down
to a small town on the coast of
New Orleans where shes living
with her grandmother (Blythe
Danner) and running a dog ken-
nel.
Initially, Schilling wants noth-
ing to do with the stranger who
cant quite bringhimself totell her
how he acquired her photograph.
But whenDanner gives Efronajob
at the kennel, the stage is set for a
smoldering love affair.
The movie is the seventh adap-
tation of a Nicholas Sparks novel
toreachthe screen. The others are
Message in a Bottle, A Walk to
Remember, The Notebook,
Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John
and The Last Song.
Schilling thinks she knows why
audiences cant get enough of
Sparks lushlove matches. I think
all of the Nicholas Sparks (mo-
vies) makethecasethat not onlyis
true love possible but its out there
waiting for us. It doesnt matter
what youre experiencing right
now, theres hope for all of us. I
think thats incredibly romantic.
Schilling was attracted to the
role for the chance to play a wom-
an whos more complicated than
she first appears. While Efron is
top-billed, Schilling has the meat-
ier role. Her character, Beth, starts
out as a bitter, grief-strickensingle
momwho allows herself to be bul-
lied by her ex-husband but who
winds up stronger, happier and
moreincontrol of her owndestiny.
Beth is such a dynamic charac-
ter, Schilling says. I really con-
nected to her the first time I read
the script. I was thrilled to be able
to explore so many facets of this
woman.
In a lot of ways, Beth has put
her own life on the back burner in
service to her son. She has a lot
of walls up. Shes very guarded.
Shes almost resigned to not fall-
ing in love ever again. But after
meeting the right guy, we see her
open herself up again and believe
in love. She becomes vulnerable
aroundanother humanbeing. And
I think thats so beautiful.
Therolewas not without theoc-
casional physical challenge. For a
sequence in which Beth is seen
jogging with five or six dogs,
Schilling had to hone her balance
skills. Every week, shed go out
running, adding additional dogs
one by one.
Schilling didnt need any prep-
aration for her love scenes with
Efron. She recently told MTVthat
smooching the High School Mu-
sical star was not a bad way to
make a paycheck.
When the quote is read back to
her, she says, I dont remember
saying that, but I second that to-
day. I felt pretty blessed to go to
work every morning with Zac. He
made my job so easy. Hes a hard
worker, a talented actor, and I felt
so safe and comfortable around
him. Hes a really down-to-earth
guy.
Schilling, daughter of former
prosecutor Robert Schilling and
TishSchilling, anMITadministra-
tor, has wanted to perform for as
long as she can remember, she
notes. Its theonlythinginmylife
that Ive always been clear about.
Whenshewas11, shedecidedto
try out for a role in Fiddler On
TheRoof. Sheremembers her ini-
tial reluctancetoauditionuntil her
father reminded her that anyone
who showedup wouldlanda part.
I remember walking into the
audition roomand feeling bizarre-
ly comfortable, she says. I had a
reallygoodtime. I was standingon
the table dancingaround. It just fit
me. And since then, Ive never had
a Plan B.
Schilling was still in graduate
school at New York University
when she landed the starring role
of Iraqwar veteranNurseVeronica
Callahan on the 2009s NBC dra-
ma Mercy.
I hadtodropout of gradschool
after two years when the pilot was
picked up, the actress says. I
loved Veronica. She was such a
strong lady. For my first job, it was
such a tremendous opportunity.
For her next role in Atlas
Shrugged, Schilling played the
tough-as-nails business exec Dag-
ny Taggart. It was a great role to
sink my teeth into, and Im grate-
ful for the experience, says the ac-
tress, who notes shes not signed
up for any potential sequels in the
proposed trilogy.
In September, Schilling will be
seen in the fact-based Argo,
which was inspired by Joshuah
Bearmans Wired magazine article
How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi
Flick to Rescue Americans from
Tehran.
Thefilmwill center onateamof
CIA operatives who manage to
smuggle American diplomats out
of IranbypretendingtheyreaHol-
lywood movie crew.
Affleck not only stars in the mo-
vie as Tony Mendez, the leader of
the operation, but he directed the
film as well. Ben moved seam-
lessly from acting to directing,
Schilling notes. He wore both
hats beautifully.
After seeing the Affleck-direct-
ed movies The Town and Gone
Baby Gone, Schilling says she
longed to toil alongside her fellow
Bostonnative. Honestly, Benwas
on my dream list of people Ive al-
ways wanted to work for, she
says. And he was quite magnifi-
cent.

Liz Reids 12-year-old sister delivers the
bad news: Terrence is getting out next
month.
The sex offender their
mother has married is
being released frompris-
on and moving in with
them. Lizs sister, Jaime,
immediately flees to live
with their alcoholic fa-
ther and conniving step-
mother. But Liz, having
seen their father beat
their mother innumer-
able times and survived a drunken driving
crash with him at the wheel, balks. Shell
try to make it work.
Andsosheignoresit whenTerrencetou-
ches her, obeys his petty demands regard-
ingpizzatoppingsandTVshowselections,
and tries to block out the sounds of sex
coming from her mothers bedroom. She
doesnt complain when her mother buys
Terrence a new set of weights instead of
getting her children shoes.
Andwhenher mother tells her she must
move out, Liz cries. Alousy home is better
thannohome, andLizs senseof securityis
tied to her mother. For years, her mother
took the blows from her father to protect
the girls. But now she has a new life, and
she has chosen: Terrence will stay, Liz will
go.
Liz and her sister soon find themselves
shuttledamongrelatives: Terrences broth-
er, their father, one aunt and then another.
Yet nomatter wheretheygo, Lizcannot es-
capeTerrence. Hevisits, hecalls, hewrites.
Melanie Thornes debut novel is raw
with emotion as she describes Lizs often
futile efforts to protect her sister and her-
self fromthe predator their mother has in-
vited into their lives. It is often hard to re-
member that this is, infact, anovel andnot
a memoir. In a letter tucked in the front of
the book, Thorne outlines the similarities
between her life and her characters.
My mom... married a convicted sex of-
fender, she writes. Like Liz, I was asked
to leave my home. And, like Liz, I was sep-
arated frommy little sister at a time when
we needed one another the most. Fifteen
years later I still wonder what would have
been different if my mom had forced her
husbandtoleaveinsteadof herdaughters.
Its a good question.
Thornes novel is an eye-opener. Its un-
likely that anyone would disagree with a
policypreventingsexoffenders fromliving
withyounggirls, but theresalmost nopub-
lic discussion of what that means in practi-
cal terms. I suspect most of us believe that
any good mother, any rational woman
wouldchooseher daughtersover someone
who has been convicted of sexual assault.
But everyyear, hundreds, if not thousands,
of women prove thats not the case.
Lizeventuallyfindsasafehomewithher
mothers sister, but Thorne makes it clear
her path still wont be easy, and she leaves
the reader haunted by a nagging question:
What happens to the children who are not
so lucky?
Teen
endures
one dark
journey
By M.L. JOHNSON
Associated Press
Hand Me Down (Dutton), by Melanie
Thorne:
B
rad Meltzers follow-
up to his amazing
Heroes for My Son
features more talented indi-
viduals who prove one per-
son truly can change the
world.
From the introduction of
Heroes for My Daughter,
where Meltzer delivers a
personal message to his
young daughter, the reader
immediately understands
how deeply personal this
book is for the author.
He wants his daughter to under-
stand that anything is possible.
What better way to demonstrate
that belief than by using stories of
people who have defied the odds
or spoken up when they were told
to be quiet? The subjects are di-
verse, from Helen Keller and Rosa
Parks to Carol Burnett and Bart
Simpsons sister, Lisa. After read-
ing the text accompanying the he-
ro, it makes perfect sense.
One of the best stories tells of
Mallory Holtman and Liz Wallace,
players on the womans softball
team of Central Washington Uni-
versity. During an important
game, Western Oregon University
senior Sara Tucholsky hit her very
first home run.
While running around the
bases, she missed first base. She
turned back to touch the base and
tore a ligament in her leg. She
crawled back to first and couldnt
move.
A pinch runner would negate
the run, and if her teammates
helped her, she would be called
out. HoltmanandWallacechecked
with the umpires to make sure it
was OK if they carried Tucholsky
aroundthe bases soshe couldhave
her home run. That run cost Cen-
tral Washington University the
game and a playoff spot. But the
teamgainedsomething more valu-
able, and provided a lesson for us
all.
Heroes for My Daughter is the
perfect book to read aloud to your
children. The discussions generat-
ed from talking about these indi-
viduals will spark creativity and
provide concrete examples that
prove a hero doesnt have to be
wealthy or pretty. Its all about
standing up for whats right
against all odds.
Meltzer sums it up best to his
daughter: Always remember: The
truth is what people say behind
your back.

OUISVILLE, Ky.
Shadowbox with a sil-
houetted Muhammad
Ali. Grab a bat and take a
few swings in a batting cage at
the Louisville Slugger Museum.
Dig into a Hot Brown at the place
where the savory sandwich was
created. Sip Kentucky bourbons
at a hotel where Al Capone
played blackjack.
Louisville is home to plenty of
originals that liven up a visit to
Kentuckys largest city, best
known for a 2-minute sporting
event.
Its the iconic horse track that
overshadows everything in town
on the first Saturday in May.
Thats when the Kentucky Derby
is run at Churchill Downs
where mint juleps flow, women
sport flowery hats and sleek thor-
oughbreds race for immortality.
Visitors dont have to be horse
racing buffs to enjoy the charms
of this city along the Ohio River.
Usually, the city is adorned in
red, pink and white blossoms as
springtime thoughts turn from
following NCAA basketball
brackets to handicapping the
Derby. But this years unseason-
ably warm weather resulted in a
showy but early bloom.
But the spring greenery is al-
ways dazzling in the Bluegrass
state. While inLouisville, visitors
can stroll along Waterfront Park
the citys 85-acre front yard.
The expansive playground near
downtown offers panoramic
views of downtown and the Ohio
River.
This time of year, Louisvil-
lians get so happy, said local res-
taurateur Lynn Winter. Its like
everyone comes out.
A short walk away, visitors can
see workers crafting bats used by
big leaguers. The Louisville Slug-
ger Museum & Factory is a trea-
sure trove of memorabilia that
features bats used by Babe Ruth,
Hank Aaron, Ted Williams and
other Hall of Famers.
Visitors can pick a bat, wood or
aluminum, andtake a crackinthe
batting cages.
Leading up to the Derby, the
city celebrates with a giant fire-
works show, a parade, a steam-
boat race and a balloon race
among the highlights of a festival
that also features athletic events,
music and food.
At the Brown Hotel, one of the
citys landmarkplaces tostay, vis-
itors can dig into a Hot Brown.
The local favorite, an open-faced
turkey and bacon sandwich cov-
ered with Mornay sauce (a
creamy cheese sauce), was first
served at the hotel decades ago.
At the Seelbach Hilton, anoth-
er renowned Louisville hotel
where Al Capone played black-
jack, theres an extensive bour-
bon collection, including ultra-
premiumsingle-barrel bourbons,
served in a bar restored to an
early1900s feel. The cocktails are
made from scratch, with Ken-
tucky limestone water dispensed
from old-fashioned seltzer bot-
tles. The Oakroomat the hotel is
one of the citys premier dining
spots.
Tradition gives way to avant
garde at 21c Museum Hotel. The
boutique hotel features contem-
porary art seemingly every-
where. The hotel includes the
popular Proof onMainrestaurant
and bar.
But Louisvilles most enduring
landmarkis Churchill Downs, sit-
uated south of downtown. The
historic track underwent a face-
lift several years ago that refur-
bished the six-level clubhouse,
added luxury suites and spruced
upthe home of the Kentucky Der-
by. The spring racing meet be-
gins April 28, a week before the
Run for the Roses.
Churchills Dawn at the Downs
offer runs from Tuesday to
Thursday of Derby week, May1-3
this year, and includes a sumptu-
ous Kentucky-style breakfast buf-
fet from7 to 8:30 a.m. in a dining
space overlooking the finish line.
Next door, the worlds most fa-
mous horse race is a daily attrac-
tion at the Kentucky Derby Mu-
seum.
Situatedjust off Gate1at Chur-
chill, the museum is filled with
Derby memorabilia. Interactive
displays let visitors pretend
theyre in the middle of a thor-
oughbred race. They can take a
crack at calling a horse race as
track announcer.
The museum also offers tours
of Churchill. Visitors can get a be-
hind-the-scenes glimpse of mil-
lionaires row, the jockeys quar-
ters, the press box and other ar-
eas of the tracks clubhouse. A
barn and backside tour lets vis-
itors soak in the life of thorough-
breds between races.
Carolyn Hayden of Louisville
brought her extended family
from California to visit the mu-
seum and tour the track.
On a pretty day its great to be
outside at the track, she said.

session with citizens.
The public meeting will be followed by a
DEP public hearing beginning at 7:30 p.m.
during which time citizens will have an
opportunity to present oral testimony
regarding the proposed Air Quality Plan
Approval applications. Anyone who wishes
to present oral testimony during the public
hearing may register that evening prior to
the hearing. Citizens will have a maximum
of five minutes each to present testimony.
Written testimony of any length also will be
accepted. The testimony will be recorded
by a court reporter and transcribed into a
written document. DEP will respond in
writing to all relevant testimony provided
during the public hearing.
Copies of the applications, the
Department's technical reviews and other
supporting documents are available for
public inspection between the hours of 8

The general procedures for the hearing

To develop an agenda for the hearing, the
Department requests that individuals
wishing to testify at the hearing submit a
written notice of their intent. The notice
should be sent to Mark Wejkszner, Air
Quality Program Manager, Department of
Environmental Protection, Air Quality
Program, Wilkes-Barre Regional Office, 2
Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-
1915. The Department will accept notices
up to the day of the public hearing.
This written notice should include the per-
son's name, address, telephone number
and a brief description as to the nature of
the testimony. Individuals who submit a
notice of intent to testify will be given pri-
ority on the agenda. If time permits, the
Department will allow individuals who have
not submitted a notice of intent to testify to
present their comments.
Each individual will have up to 5 minutes to
present testimony. The Department
requests that individuals present written
copies of their testimony in addition to
their oral presentations.
To insure that all speakers have a fair and
equal opportunity to present their testimo-
ny, relinquishing of time will be prohibited.
Further details relating to the procedures
to be followed at the hearing will be out-
lined at the beginning of the hearing.
Persons unable to attend the hearing can
submit written testimony to the
Department through May 7, 2012.
The Department will address comments
from the public before any final actions are
taken on the proposals. A summary report
addressing the concerns raised by the
public will be released should the
Department decide to issue the Plan
Approval. Send written comments to Mark

Story and Photos by
Marianne Tucker Puhalla
Advertising Projects Writer
Over the past three years, the owners of
this four-bedroom ranch have renovated
every nook and cranny and the result is a
totally updated home that could easily ap-
pear in a home decorators magazine.
Treat yourself to a tour of 43 Walden Dr.,
a raised ranch in the Walden Park develop-
ment of Mountain Top. Totally coordinated
with a neutral color palette throughout, the
home has a warm and welcoming energy
that will make you feel right at home as
soon as you step inside. Starting the reno-
vation with a new roof and gutters, they
also opened up the lower level family room
adding sliding doors to a new rear patio.
Listed by Linda Gavio of Coldwell
Banker Rundle Real Estate for $198,500,
this 2,330-square-foot home offers four
bedrooms and three baths, all set on a .46-
acre lot. There is plenty of new landscap-
ing to go with the surrounding trees.
There will be an Open House today
from 1:30-3:30 p.m. as part of a Spring
Open House promotion offering tours at
many of the Coldwell Banker Rundle Real
Estate listings in the county.
The red brick exterior has tan trim and
black shutters. The raised porch leads
into a large foyer with wood laminate
ooring and a leaded glass front door with
sidelight.
To the left, the 11-by-15 living room
features a white brick replace with a slate
tile hearth and wooden mantle. The cool
and crisp dcor includes pale green/gray
walls accented by white crown molding
and cream carpeting. A large bow window
front brings in plenty of natural light.
The color palette is the same in the
nearby 10-by-12 dining room where there
is a striking chandelier and bow window
rear.
To the left, the 11-by-12 kitchen offers
a wood laminate oor chosen to accent
hardwood cabinets in a light nish topped
by newly installed black and tan speckled
laminate countertops. Appliances include
a stove with exhaust hood, a stainless
side-by-side refrigerator, and a stainless
dishwasher. There is a triple bow window
facing rear. A separate eat-in area offers
additional space.
A nearby laundry room provides washer
and dryer hook-ups and a door to the side
yard.
Next door, a powder room has a white
vanity with red accents set against a gray
tile oor.
To the right of the dining room, you
pass a linen closet on the way to the master
