WILKES-BARRE For years, city council members who traveled to conferences were reimbursed for three meals each day, even when some meals were included in the registration fee, a review of city records shows. Each council member was given a generous allowance in some cases as high as $92.95 per day to pay for their meals. But if See LUNCHES, Page 14A
six years, four current and former council members racked up $15,204 in meal charges on taxpayer-funded trips, but none ever produced a single receipt to show how the money was spent. They didnt have to, thanks to an unwritten policy that reimburses council for meals based on a flat rate calculated by Runzheimer International, a firm that estimates food and lodging costs for cities throughout the nation.

Dirty Girl Run raises charity race questions

Charities face higher demands for services from cash-strapped clients.

WILKES-BARRE Does the Dirty Girl Run muddy the fundraising waters? The national event has held eight races to date, including the Dirty Girl Mud Run two weeks ago in Lackawanna County. And in Northeastern Pennsylvania, the event took in $560,000 and donated $14,500 to the charity. The organization clearly states on its website and registration forms that it will donate 2.5 percent of registration fees to the

CAMP DAVID, Md. Confronting an economic crisis that threatens them all, President Barack Obama and leaders of other world powers on Saturday declared that their governments must both spark growth and cut the debt that has crippled the European continent and put investors worldwide on Obama edge. Theres now an emerging consensus that more must be done to promote growth and job creation right now, Obama proclaimed after hosting unprecedented economic talks at Camp David, his secluded and highly secure mountaintop retreat. Seeking a second term amid hard economic times, Obama hailed a debate heading in the direction he likes, with nations now talking of ways to spark their economies instead of just slashing spending. Yet there were no bold prescriptions at hand. Instead, leaders seemed intent on trying to inspire confidence by agreeing on a broad strategy no matter their differences. With all of them facing their own difficult political realities, they built some sovereign wiggle room into their pledge to take all necessary steps, saying the right measures are not the same for each of us. Obama played international host as Europes debt crisis threatens to drag down the U.S. recovery and his own political future, underscoring the stakes for him in getting allies abroad to rally around some answers. Much of the new emphasis on government-led growth seemed

HANOVER TWP. Four quick-thinking neighbors kept a porch fire from engulfing a home Saturday afternoon by dousing the flames with pool water. The responding neighbors said they noticed smoke rising from the back of 250 Phillips St. in the Bresleau section of Hanover Township at approximately 2 p.m. Saturday afternoon. We were coming back from my sons baseball game and I saw the smoke coming out of the top of the guys house, said Dave Turner, who lives across the street at 251 Phillips St. It didnt look right. It wasnt somebody burning wood or something. Turner ran around the back of the house, where he was joined by Sean Leachey, who saw the fire from his mothers house around the corner and came running. The pair dumped the contents of a recycling barrel and began using it to douse the flames rising waist high and beginning to climb the walls of the house with water from the above ground pool behind the home. Put it out, Leachey said. That was the first thing that came to my mind; find water and put it out. Meanwhile, neighbor Bob Leskosky and a Phillips Street resident the others knew only as Jose ran in the front door to alert the homes residents. Jose left the area shortly thereafter, neighbors said. The house is owned by Jim and Michelle Bohlin, who live there with two sons. Michelle Bohlin was home at the time of the fire but escaped unharmed, though she was treated by paramedics on scene for anxiety, township fire Capt. Bill McDaniels said. McDaniels said the cause of the fire remained undetermined Saturday afternoon and that a state police fire marshal would investigate. Neighbors said the fire appeared to have originated in a pile of garbage bags on the porch. McDaniels said the fire started on back porch and worked its way up the back side of the house to the roof. The bungalow-style home suffered fire damage to its exterior and some smoke damage to the kitchen on the other side of the wall, he added. Township firefighter Gabe Metric was in the first fire truck to arrive on scene. He said the fire department saw the fire from the nearby Bresleau station and responded before 911 had been called, but the neighbors had the fire largely under control before they even arrived. Alert neighbors saved it from getting worse than what it was, Metric said. Homeowner Jim Bohlin said he was overwhelmed by his neighbors actions. Words cant even explain it, Bohlin said. With all the bad stuff that people do this is one of the shining moments. How can you beat that; your neighbors come and save your house for you.
WILKES-BARRE Going once, going twice still going. The Luzerne County Redevelopment Authority received a high bid of $5,000 for the train car at the Market Street Square complex during an auction Saturday morning. But the deal hasnt been sealed yet. Under the To see additional terms of the aucphotos, visit tion, the county www.times and redevelopleader.com ment authority have 48 hours from the time of auction to accept or decline the offer. The winning bid was made by Jim Williams Jr. and his father Jim Williams Sr., owners of a metal recycling business in Blakely, Lackawanna County. The two others who bid on the car were also scrap yard owners and their proxies. Redevelopment Authority Director Andy Reilly said that decision will be made by County Manager Robert Lawton in consultation with Reilly and County Engineer Joe Gibbons. Their decision could hinge on their appraisal of Williams plan to disassemble the train car on site. Auction organizers initially said they wanted the car removed in one piece because they were worried about the consequences if hazardous materials, such as asbestos, were discovered during disassembly. But at roughly 90 feet long, removing the train cars whole could cost thousands of dollars in road permits. On the advice of auctioneer Leo A. Glodzik Sr., Reilly and county Property and Supply Director Frank Pugliese agreed immediately before the auction to accept bids from buyers who wish to break down the car on site, noting the county would take the buyers plans for the car into consideration when reviewing the winning bid. Since they are only interested in the cars scrap value, the Williams said they will only agree to the deal if they can cut the car apart on-site. They can keep it; Its too heavy, too big, too high, Williams Junior said. Nobody can take that out of here. You cant put that on the rail and you cant move it (because) you need police permits that cost thousands, his father added.

James Williams III, 12, sits in the dining car that was sold at Saturdays auction at Market Street Square. James dad, James Jr., bought the dining car for scrap.
Williams wouldnt say what he thought the car was worth in raw metal value because the deal hasnt been finalized. Pugliese said the county estimates its worth $3,500 to $5,000 in scrap. If the sale is approved, the Williams will have 30 days to remove the train car from the site. County officials expressed mixed feelings about the offer. We were hoping of course that we would be able to sell it to a collector, but obviously that didnt happen, Pugliese said. The county advertised the auction to collectors, museums and amusement parks locally and around the country, but found little interest. Glodzik said the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, Lancaster County would accept the car as a donation but did not wish to bid on it. Its what the market will bear, Reilly said of the sale. I think theres only a limited market for this because if youre interested in restoring it that could be a very expensive proposition. The idea is, the site needs to be cleaned up, and this is a big part of that. Though its painted stripes have faded and its stainless steel sides are pocked with rust, inside the car is in remarkably good shape. The tables from the old Joe Palooka Diner the car was once part of are gone, but white and maroon tiled walls, white vinyl booths, mirror backed bar, servers station and even a table top jukebox flipped open to Michael Jackson, Aerosmith and Blood, Sweat and Tears remain. Apart from some graffiti left by vandals the car could have been boarded up yesterday. If Williams bid is approved, it
The dining train car at Market Street Square in Wilkes-Barre
will bring an end to the cars thirty years of history in WilkesBarre. County officials couldnt say exactly when the car, a dining car from a long-distance train, was made, but Glodzik determined from serial numbers and other markings that it was manufactured in Philadelphia by the The Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Company. The Budd Company, which was made famous by its Zephyr line of passenger trains, manufactured lightweight railroad cars from the 1930s into the 1980s, but produced fewer longdistance passenger cars after the 1950s due to a decline in demand, according to the Philadelphia Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. The car and a Vulcan locomotive engine were donated to the Luzerne County Redevelopment Authority when it purchased the Market Street Square Complex from businessman Thom Greco for $5.8 million in 2007. WILKES-BARRE City police reported the following: Jamie Molina of Loomis Street reported Friday a rock was thrown through a secondfloor window of her residence. Hang Lin of Brookhollow Road, Mountain Top, reported Thursday the left front fender and doors on the drivers side of his vehicle were scratched with a key while parked at the Home Depot store on Spring Street. Brandon Negron of Maffett Street reported Thursday his 49cc motorcycle was stolen from the front porch of his residence. Doris Branch of South Sherman Street reported her laptop computer was stolen Tuesday on Empire Street. She arranged to sell the computer to two women. They left the Trading Post bar and the two women stole her computer and ran. Branch described the suspects as: a white woman with brown hair in her 20s, 5 feet, 6 inches tall, 180 pounds, wearing a gray hooded top and blue jeans; and a white woman in her 20s, 5 feet, 6 inches tall, 120 pounds, wearing a white top and blue jeans.
It was first brought to Market Street Square in 1982 by Marvin Roth, who in the late 1970s built and operated a hotel in the former train station and about 60 attached Pullman passenger cars and wanted to open a diner where guests could eat, according to Greco. Greco, who owned the land where the diner sat and later held a 50 percent stake in the business, said Roth moved an existing classic diner to the site, restored it and attached the rail car as an additional seating area. He was kind of ahead of his time, because the diner is a big thing now, Greco said. When the restaurant, known for most of its history as the Joe Palooka Diner, closed permanently in 1999, a buyer purchased the main diner building and had it moved to the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia, where it still operates as the Trolley Car Diner on Germantown Avenue, Greco said.

Luzerne Countys home rule charter puts deeds, wills, civil and criminal court records under the same judicial services and records division, and county Manager Robert Lawton wants to find a way to get them in the same room. Lawton asked the heads of those departments and other members of the countys record improvement committee to try to come up with a merger plan
nience and more efficient use of staff. The civil and criminal court records offices are in separate rooms in the county courthouse in Wilkes-Barre. The deeds office is in the courthouse annex across the street, and wills are in the countys Penn Place building a few blocks away. Committee members plan to visit another home rule county with a similar one-room setup for reference, DePolo said. County Prothonotary Carolee Medico Olenginski, who oversees civil court records and filings, said she supports the
document types, and developing an understanding of the same information for all four offices may be difficult, she said. The information in my office alone is so technical, and if you make a mistake, the county could be subject to litigation, she said. Interim Recorder of Deeds Joan Hoggarth said unions must be involved when a plan is formulated because two different bargaining units cover employees in the impacted offices. Finding a location to fit all four departments will be another hurdle, she said. Interim Clerk of Courts Tom Pizano
said. Register of Wills Dorothy Stankovic said the administration also must decide if records will be stored in the merged office or in a separate building because that will determine the amount of required space. County officials are exploring options for records storage because experts concluded the current leased space in the Thomas C. Thomas building in downtown Wilkes-Barre has temperature extremes, lack of security, leaks and fire hazards.

Hanover Police celebrate 100th anniversary

By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent
Health authorities in eastern Pennsylvania say a fox that bit a man who was visiting Bethlehem has tested positive for rabies. Officials say the man bitten Wednesday and another man who reported a fox bite not far away on the same day are being treated. Health officials say they arent sure whether both victims encountered the same animal. On May 8, a woman walking a dog in east Allentown was bitten by a rabid fox. She was started on a series of rabies shots.

HANOVER TWP. The Hanover Township Police Department celebrated its 100th anniversary on Saturday with an open house and meet-andgreet for local residents. The afternoon event featured fun and games for the kids with face-painting and prize handouts, as well as childrens identification kits and a special K9 demonstration by township officers. There are two primary reasons were celebrating today, said Police Chief Albert Walker. To honor 100 years of professional service with honor and integrity and to allow the
residents of the township to come out and meet their police officers in a more relaxed environment. Walker, who is celebrating 25 years with the department, said he welcomes the opportunity to meet many of the townships residents as they tour the departments facilities, vehicles and grounds. This is a special day for this community, said one elderly citizen who came out to enjoy the festivities. I was born and raised here and my children all graduated from Hanover Area.

SHICKSHINNY The flood in September of last year devastated many business properties in the borough of Shickshinny, causing some to close down forever. One business, however, will not. After six months of cleanup and repairs, Skovish Brothers Pools and Spas on Union Street held their Grand Re-opening on Saturday. Hundreds showed up to take advantage of deals, have some fun and thank the company for not only remaining in Shickshinny, but actually expanding. In three decades of business, the company saw its share of floods, however, this last one was the worst, said Holly Reynolds, the store manager for the last nine years. The owners were considering closing down. But the company rebuilt and expanded into the pet supplies business with its new Paws Plus Pet Supplies store in the same building. We decided to rebuild for the community and our customers, Reynolds said. We serve a large area, including Nanticoke, Bloomsburg, Mountain Top and Hazleton, she said. They had to gut the entire first floor right down to the studs, Reynolds said. New mildew resistant materials were installed and now the place looks amazing, she said. More than 500 tons of gravel were dumped into the basement, a new support beam was constructed and a concrete floor was poured to improve building safety, she said. During the massive project, completed in mid-April, Reynolds said, the company was still focused on helping customers dealing with flood damage. We wanted to take care of our customers first, she said. When the project neared completion, she suggested to the owners they hold a reopening. Now customers entering the store comment on how well the improvements went, she said. Plus they can take advantage of an assortment of pet supplies not previously available in Shickshinny, she said. Owner Marty Skovish Jr. said the company wanted to go all out for the community on Saturday. We wanted to make our customer base see we are back, he said. Skovish said borough officials were closely watching the remodeling progress over the last few weeks. Several council members commented how glad they were to see the company stay. At the reopening, visitors enjoyed complimentary food and drinks, live music, games for the children and the knowledge one local business is definitely sticking it out there.

Reapers go to the competitions during the World Scythe Cup 2012 in Salbitz, eastern Germany, Saturday. Two hundred thirty-one participants from seven countries took part at the event.
TAMPA, FLA.
NEW YORK A blind Chinese legal activist who was suddenly allowed to leave the country arrived in the United States on Saturday, ending a nearly monthlong diplomatic tussle that had tested U.S.-China relations. Chen Guangcheng had been hurriedly taken from a hospital hours earlier and put on a plane for the U.S. after Chinese authorities suddenly told him to pack and prepare to leave.

rights, he said. Chen gave a short statement, which was greeted by cheers in Mandarin and English, but did not take questions from report-
ers. The departure of Chen, his wife and two children to the United States marked the conclusion of nearly a month of uncertainty and years of mistreatment by local authorities for the self-taught activist. After seven years of prison and house arrest, Chen made a daring escape from his rural village in April and was given sanctuary inside the U.S. Embassy, triggering a diplomatic standoff over his fate. With Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in Beijing for annual high-level discussions, officials struck a deal that let Chen walk free, only to see him have second thoughts. That forced new negotiations that led to an agreement to send him to the U.S. to study law, a goal of his, at New York University.

Civil rights groups and other advocates say the sentencing of 31-yearold Marissa Alexander last week shows how stripping judges of discretion can result in unfair sentences. About twothirds of the states have mandatoryminimum sentencing laws, usually for drug crimes. Alexander tried unsuccessfully to invoke Floridas stand your ground law and rejected a plea deal for a lesser sentence after she was charged in a dispute with her husband. No one was hurt. A jury convicted her of aggravated battery with a firearm. Floridas 10-20-life law that targets gun crimes required the judge sentence her to 20 years.
Yemeni officials say fresh clashes with al-Qaida fighters in the south have left at least 34 people dead, while a suspected U.S. drone strike has killed two militants. The officials say the drone attack took place in the central province of Bayda, killing a Somali and a Yemeni militants. Al-Qaida briefly ovverran parts of Bayda earlier this year. Further south in Abyan province, fighting between Yemeni troops and al-Qaida fighters killed 12 soldiers and 22 al-Qaida militants.

A bomb exploded on Saturday outside an Italian high school named after the wife of an assassinated anti-Mafia prosecutor, killing one student and wounding at least seven others, officials said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, and police were trying to determine who had planted the bomb. But an anti-Mafia prosecutor said it didnt appear to be the kind of attack that organized crime has carried out in Italy. The bombing also followed a spate of attacks against Italian officials and buildings by a group of anarchists. The device went off a few minutes before 8 a.m. in the Adriatic port town of Brindisi in the countrys south just as students milled outside, chatting and getting ready for class at the mainly all-girls Francesca Laura Morvillo Falcone vocational institute. Saturday is a school day in much of Italy. The school which prepares students for jobs in fashion, tourism and social services is named in honor of Morvillo, a judge who died along with her husband, anti-Mafia prosecutor Giovanni Falcone, in a 1992 highway bombing in Sicily by the Cosa Nostra.

Police in southwest Idaho say a man chose briefs over boxers to wear on his head as he held up a coffee shop and stole a safe. Coffee shop owner Jason Wilson tells the Idaho Statesman says he believes the man was likely not prepared when he entered Big Star Coffee in Fruitland with an accomplice on Tuesday morning. Wilson asked: Who robs something with underwear on their head? Investigators say the two burglars made off with about $500 in cash that was inside the safe. Their actions were captured on surveillance cameras inside and outside the shop.
Robber makes it brief
BOISE, IDAHO
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. The cost of 30 manhole covers that got sucked away: $5,800. A new concession stand at the destroyed high school: $228,600. Shelter and care for more than 1,300 homeless pets: $372,000. The tornado that tore through Joplin a year ago already ranks as the deadliest twister in six decades. Now it carries another distinction the costliest since at least 1950. Insurance policies are expected to cover most of the $2.8 billion in damage. But taxpayers could supply about $500 million in the form of federal and state disaster aid, low-interest loans and local bonds backed by higher taxes, according to records obtained by The Associated Press and interviews with federal, state and local officials. Almost one-fifth of that money was paid to contractors who hauled off debris. Tens of millions more dollars went to individuals for temporary housing and other living expenses in the immediate aftermath of the storm. Additional money could help subsidize construction of a new hospital to replace one that was irreparably damaged. All told, about two dozen school districts, emergency agencies, public housing authorities, religious groups and other nonprofits could receive taxpayer money through a program run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The outpouring of assistance is nowhere near the scale of Hurricane Katrina, which swamped New Orleans and damaged property along a wide swath of the Gulf Coast in 2005. Yet the Joplin tornado raises questions anew about the governments role in disasters. For Joplin families still on the long road to recovery, the taxpayer aid generally is appreciated. The twister killed Danielle Robertsons mother and destroyed the duplex she shared with her teenage daughter and two dogs. After several months of tempo-

rary living arrangements, Robertson eventually got one of the FEMA trailers for tornado survivors. No rent or utility payments were required. There are just thousands of people who would not have recovered at all had that aid not been there. I mean theres no way, said Robertson, who finally moved into a rebuilt rental home about three weeks ago. I like to consider my-
self a survivalist, but there was nothing to survive with. The Joplin tornado, which killed 161 people, was one of 99 major disasters declared by President Barack Obama in 2011. Other included blizzards, wildfires and hurricanes. Congress responded in December by authorizing an extra $8.6 billion in disaster aid. Missouri has a rainy day fund with about $500 mil-
lion that was created for costly emergencies. But the fund hasnt been tapped for Joplin because Gov. Jay Nixon and some lawmakers are reluctant to trigger a constitutional mandate that the borrowed money be replenished within three years. Some critics of federal disaster aid point to Missouris rainy day fund as a prime example of how states pass the buck to the federal government for local tragedies.
WASHINGTON Are Republican lawmakers deliberately stalling the economic recovery to hurt President Barack Obamas re-election chances? Some top Democrats say yes, pointing to GOP stances on the debt limit and other issues they claim are causing unnecessary economic anxiety and retarding growth. The latest Democratic complaint came after House Speaker John Boehner said Tuesday that when Congress raises the nations borrowing cap in early 2013, he will again insist on big spending cuts to offset The last the increase. Boehner, R-Ohio, continues to re- thing the ject higher tax rates, country which Democrats demand from the wealthy. needs is a That led Sen.

Boehner responded in a statement: Republicans have passed nearly 30 bills that would help small businesses create jobs and we are waiting on Senate Democrats to vote on these commonsense measures. The failure to act on these jobs bills, as well as our crushing debt burden, is undermining economic growth and job creation. Democrats say Republicans loaded their jobs bills with provisions certain to doom them in the Senate, such as restrictions on unions and on regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency. Regardless of whether Schumers suspicions are right, theres evidence that unceasing partisan gridlock and the prospect ofbigtaxincreasesandspendingcutsinJanuaryarecausingsomecompaniestopostpone expansions. Even small economic slowdowns are bad news for Obama, who is seeking re-election amid high unemployment.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A new private supply ship for the International Space Station remained stuck on the ground Saturday after rocket engine trouble led to a last-second abort of the historic flight. All nine engines for the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket roared to life Saturday morning. But with a mere half-second remaining before liftoff, the onboard computers automatically shut everything down. So instead of blasting off on a delivery mission to the space station, the rocket stayed on its launch pad amid a plume of engine exhaust. Even NASAs most seasoned launch commentator was taken off-guard. Three, two, one, zero and liftoff, announced commentator George Diller, his voice trailing as the rocket failed to budge. Weve had a cutoff. Liftoff did not occur. SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell said that high combustion chamber pressure in engine No. 5 was to blame. During an inspection later in the day, engineers discovered a faulty valve and worked into the evening to replace it. Tuesday is the earliest that SpaceX can try again to send its cargo-laden Dragon capsule to the space station. The Californiabased company formally known as Space Exploration Technologies Corp. is targeting every few days for a launch attempt to save fuel in case of rendezvous problems at the space station. Wednesday also could be a launch option. This was the first launch attempt by the several private U.S. companies hoping to take over the job of delivering cargo and eventually astronauts to the space station for NASA.

that to date: the United States, Russia, Europe and Japan. NASA is looking to the private sector, in this post-shuttle era, to get American astronauts launching again from U.S. soil. SpaceX officials said that could happen in as few as three years, possibly four. Several other companies are in the running. An estimated 1,000 SpaceX and NASA guests poured into the launching area in the wee hours of Saturday, hoping to see firsthand the start of this new commercial era. They left disappointed. The abort was especially disheartening given the perfect weather and the absence of any earlier countdown problems. Shotwell was asked by a reporter whether she considered Saturdays abort a failure. This is not a failure, she said. We aborted with purpose. It would be a failure if we were to have lifted off with an engine trending in this direction. She added: The software did
what it was supposed to do with the engine shutdown. Everyone around town, at least, is rooting for a successful flight. Go SpaceX, read the sign outside Cape Canaveral City Hall. Until NASAs space shuttles retired last summer, the sign had urged on the launches of Discovery, Endeavour and, finally, Atlantis. Those ships are now relegated to museums. Late last month, SpaceX conducted a test firing of the nine first-stage rocket engines at the pad. Each engine including No. 5 was rock solid, Shotwell said. The first flight of the Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, in June 2010, encountered similar last-second engine trouble, but there was enough time to fix the problem and fly the same day. SpaceX has just a single second each day to launch this time around because of the space station rendezvous.

SUMMIT
Continued from Page 1A
aimed at German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who came to the summit as the European leader who had demanded austerity as the most important step toward easing the eurozones debt crisis. But the election of Socialist Francois Hollande as president of France, and Greek elections that created political chaos in the country were clear rejections of the belt-tightening Merkel represented. Hollande, a new voice at the table in just his first week on the job, offered Obama a reminder of his own responsibilities to work to expand the economy, even if hes in an electoral period and who has a Congress thats not necessarily easy to deal with. Coping with shaky oil markets, the leaders set the stage for a united release of world oil reserves to balance any disruption in world markets when tough new sanctions are imposed on Irans exports because of its disputed nuclear program. The leaders said they were ready to take appropriate action to meet any shortages. The mere preparation to release oil reserves could help calm markets and ensure that oil prices, which have been dropping, dont climb again and anger consumers as U.S. elections approach. The Group of Eight summit includes leaders of the United States, Japan, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Canada and Russia. A joint summit statement reflected how urgently the countries must contain a financial crisis that could spread from the eurozone to the United States and infect the rest of the global economy. They declared unanimity in ensuring that Greece, which is crippled in debt and politically gridlocked, remains as part of the 17-member euro currency union. The leaders here understand the stakes, Obama said in summing up a packed, unusually intimate day of world talks. They know the magnitude of the choices they have to make and the enormous political and economic and social costs if they dont. Merkel said growth and deficit-cutting reinforced each other and that everyone around the table agreed. That is great progress, she said. As for promoting growth, she said investments under consideration include research and development, Internet networks and infrastructure. But she said this doesnt mean stimulus in the usual sense. U.S. officials agreed, saying growth measures that the Europeans might pursue dont all require outright public spending, and could be in the form of public-private partnerships or in initiatives designed to loosen credit. And the leaders stayed away entirely from the world stimulus, which has taken on an unpopular political connotation, including in the United States. The global economic recovery shows signs of promise, but significant headwinds persist, said G-8 leaders said. The tension between austerity and growth whether to slash debt by cutting budgets or use
public money and other means to help spur economic growth was the backdrop as Obama welcomed an emerging push for a balance between the two. He seized the opportunity to cast the debate in terms favorable to his own re-election, closing the summit with the steps he took to right the U.S. economy and his economic vision for a second term. He said he was confident Europe could get on a path to recovery as has the United States. We know it is possible in part based on our own experience here, he said. In my earliest days in office, we took decisive steps to confront our own financial crisis. Obama chose Camp David in part to encourage a freewheeling discussion out of sight of most media and potential protests, allowing the leaders to sit around a cabin table to negotiate terms, or stroll through the leafy paths for chats that seemed a world away from the typical summit convention-hall setting.

Prosecutors: Trio planned to attack Obama HQ

The men were arrested when police raided an apartment in Chicago before NATO summit.
By MICHAEL TARM and TAMMY WEBBER Associated Press
CHICAGO Three men accused of making Molotov cocktails had been planning to attack President Barack Obamas campaign headquarters, Mayor Rahm Emanuels home and other targets during this weekends NATO summit, prosecutors said Saturday. The three were arrested Wednesday when police raided an apartment on the citys South Side ahead of the two-day meeting. Defense attorneys alleged that the arrests were an effort to scare the thousands of people expected to protest at the gathering of world leaders. They told a judge that undercover police were the
ones who brought the Molotov cocktails. This is just propaganda to create a climate of fear, defense attorney Michael Duetsch said. Later, outside the courtroom, Duetsch said two undercover police officers or informants who called themselves Mo and Gloves were also arrested during the Wednesday raid, and defense attorneys said they later lost track of the two. We believe this is all a setup and entrapment to the highest degree, Duetsch said. The trio was charged with providing material support for terrorism, conspiracy to commit terrorism and possession of explosives. The suspects were each being held on $1.5 million bond. They apparently came to Chicago late last month to take part in May Day protests. Six others arrested Wednesday in the raid were released Friday without being charged.
Chicago police Lt. Kenneth Stoppa declined to elaborate on the case beyond confirming the charges against the three who were still in custody. Police identified the suspects as Brian Church, 20, of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; Jared Chase, 24, of Keene, N.H.; and Brent Vincent Betterly, 24. A police spokesman gave Betterlys hometown as Oakland Park, Mass., but no such town exists. There is an Oakland Park, Fla., that is near Fort Lauderdale. Activist Bill Vassilakis, who said he let the men stay in his apartment, described Betterly as an industrial electrician who had volunteered to help with wiring at The Plant, a former meatpacking facility that has been turned into a food incubator with the
citys backing. Vassilakis said he thought the charges were unwarranted. All I can say about that is, if you knew Brent, you would find that to be the most ridiculous thing youve ever heard. He was the most stand-up guy that was staying with me. He and the other guys had done nothing but volunteer their time and energy, he said. Betterly appears to have a history of minor run-ins with law enforcement. He was cited for disorderly intoxication in February in MiamiDade County, Fla., earlier this year , but the case has been dismissed, according to online court records. Authorities in Oakland Park, Fla., said Betterly and two other
young men walked into a public high school last fall after a night of tequila drinking and took a swim in the pool, according to a report in the South Florida SunSentinel. They stole fire extinguishers from three school buses, discharged one and smashed a cafeteria window with another. The vandalism caused about $2,000 in damage. Betterly was charged with burglary, theft and criminal mischief, the newspaper said. Chase grew up in Keene, N.H., and moved to Boston a few years ago before becoming active in the Occupy movement, said his aunt, Barbara Chase of Westmoreland,
N.H. She said she was stunned to learn of the charges against her nephew. Jared Chases father, Steve Chase, died about five weeks ago after a long struggle with a disease that left him disabled, Barbara Chase said. The arrests came as authorities tightened security throughout the city in preparation for the summit, where delegations from about 60 countries will discuss the war in Afghanistan and European missile defense.

There were nights when Id be in the computer lab you know, Friday, Saturday nights when everyones out partying from about 8 p.m. Friday night to 8 a.m. Saturday morning. Id go back, get some rest and be back Saturday around noon, until about 8 a.m. Sunday morning. There were times where it got real tough, he added. It got to the point where you see everyone else out partying and you wish you could be there too, but you know it will benefit you in the long run. To push through the grueling schedule, Kuzawinski said he and a study partner would bring their bikes with them and break up the monotony by taking quick rides around Wilkes-Barre every two hours or so. Going to college in a time of recession, Kuzawinski said he was motivated by a realization of how difficult finding work has become. He thinks his sacrifice was worth it. Were obviously in a recession right now and jobs are tough to come by, he said. That was one of the things I wanted, was to not have to worry about a job; to be able to rise to the top To be able to walk into an office and say, I graduated in four years, I took all of this and heres what I can do for you. After graduation hes entering a two-year management development program with Precision Castparts Corp., with the longterm goal of becoming an operations manager. Kuzawinski wasnt the only talented graduate to cross the stage at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza during Wilkes commencement Saturday. The university honored Cortny Sasserson, of Westfield, Tioga County, with its Alumni Award for Leadership. Sasserson earned her Bachelor of Business Administration degree with a minor in accounting and served for two years as commuter council president, and was an E-Mentor, alternative spring break coordinator, treasurer of the ultimate Frisbee team, Students in Free Enterprise representative and the universitys representative to Leadership Wilkes-Barre. She will join the Executive Team Leader Program at Target in the Boston area this summer. Three students were recognized with the Wandell Award, presented to the male and female undergraduate students with the highest grade-point average in
the graduating class. Two students tied for the female honor, Rachel A. Talpash of Larksville and Michelle Wakeley of Endicott, N.Y. Matthew Ruch of Dallas earned the male award. The university also paid posthumous tribute to graduate student Jennifer Diskin of Scranton during the ceremony, awarding her degree to her parents Edmund and Anita Diskin. Diskin, 38, completed the coursework for her Master of Fine Arts degree but died in December following a long battle with Hodgkins lymphoma.

An Illinois man was trapped for more than 20 hours in a cave at an Iowa state park before being rescued Saturday. Iowa Department of Natural Resources spokesman Kevin Baskins said Logan Eliasen, 20, of Port Byron, Ill., was dislodged from a narrow part of Wye Cave at Maquoketa Caves State Park about 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Hed been stuck there since 6:45 p.m. Friday. Baskins said Eliasen was given oxygen and an IV to prevent dehydration as crews chiseled away rock to widen the path. He was taken from the scene to a Maquoketa hospital. A spokeswoman there said she couldnt release his condition. Park Ranger Scot Dykstra said visitors discovered two people lodged in the cave about 8 p.m. Friday and alerted park staff. Dykstra said they became stuck while crawling through a narrow part of the cave. Rescue crews from Maquoketa and Quad Cities were able to free the woman, identified as 20-yearold Emma Thomson of Port Byron, Ill., about 11:40 p.m. Friday. She was treated at the scene for minor injuries, Baskins said. The 323-acre state park is northwest of Maquoketa, about halfway between Des Moines and Chicago. It features more than a dozen caves visitors can explore on their own, either by walking or crawling, based on their own ability and comfort level. Baskins said hes not sure whether the man was experienced in cave exploration.

ISLAMABAD Iran, Pakistan and other South Asian countries are a fast-rising force in the global methamphetamine market, with drug cartels thriving off the weak governance and law enforcement that have long fueled the regions heroin trade. This environment has allowed criminals to tap into the countries relatively advanced pharmaceutical industries to get their hands on meths two main ingredients: ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. The drug is more valuable than heroin, and some say, more addictive. Highlighting this scourge are U.N. figures showing that the number of meth labs uncovered in Iran rose from two to 166 in three years, while the supply of precursor chemicals in Pakistan has more than tripled over roughly the same period. A Supreme Court case in Pakistan involving the prime ministers son has drawn more attention to the problem. The case revolves around two Pakistani pharmaceutical companies that allegedly used political connections to obtain huge amounts of ephedrine and are suspected of diverting it to people in the drug trade who could have used it to make meth worth billions of dollars. The companies have denied any wrongdoing. Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are used to make common cold medicine, but either can also be used to manufacture meth easily at home or, in places like Mexico where the trade is most advanced, in huge labs indistin-
guishable from those of large pharmaceutical companies. The greater South Asia region has a long history of drug manufacturing, but most of it has involved opium and heroin made from the vast quantities of poppy grown in Afghanistan and smuggled out through Pakistan and Iran. As governments elsewhere clamp down on the availability of the precursor chemicals, this region is attracting more dealers, said Matt Nice of the Viennabased International Narcotics Control Board, which enforces U.N. conventions regulating the manufacture and distribution of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. They look for a country with weak security and regulation where you can obtain the chemicals because no one is paying attention, or it has never been a problem before, he said. Iranian police dismantled 166 meth labs in 2010, up from just two in 2008, according to the U.N. Labs have also been dismantled in Sri Lanka and India, one of the worlds largest manufacturers of precursor chemicals. Worldwide, nearly 10,200 meth labs were seized in 2009, the most recent aggregate data available, according to the U.N. Most were small labs dismantled in the U.S. But the number of labs outside the U.S. has increased significantly in recent years. Much of the meth produced in Iran is smuggled to East and Southeast Asia, which have some of the highest street prices and are facing an epidemic of addiction. Over the past five years, Iran went from a non-issue in the global synthetic drug trade to top10 in the world in terms of sei-
zures, said Jeremy Douglas, head of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime in Pakistan. They are also arresting Iranian meth couriers and traffickers throughout East Asia. There are up to 21 million amphetamine users in East and Southeast Asia, out of a total high-end estimate of 56 million worldwide, according to the U.N. Nearly half of all people seeking drug treatment in East and Southeast Asia in 2009 were methamphetamine users. There are signs Pakistan could be vulnerable to the synthetic drug trade and headed in the same direction as Iran. Pakistani authorities arrested a Malaysian man last year at the airport in Karachi with a suitcase containing hidden compartments of meth that he admitted was made in the city, said Douglas. Thai officials have also arrested several Pakistanis carrying meth at the airport in Bangkok who flew there from Pakistan, he said. There are indications meth is being produced in Pakistan, said Douglas. It makes sense because the supply of the precursors is high, readily available and cheap. The chemicals are also being smuggled out of Pakistan to neighboring Iran and other countries. Iran reported significant seizures of ephedrine originating from Pakistan and Syria 648 pounds in 2010 and 827 pounds in 2011, the U.N said. Pakistan also seized 584 pounds of ephedrine in provinces bordering Iran in 2010.

MIAMI The NAACP passed a resolution Saturday endorsing same-sex marriage as a civil right and opposing any efforts to codify discrimination or hatred into the law. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples board voted at a leadership retreat in Miami to back a resolution supporting marriage equality, calling the position consistent with the equal protection provision of the U.S. Constitution. The mission of the NAACP has always been to ensure political, social and economic equality of all people, Board Chairwoman Roslyn M. Brock said in a statement. We have and will oppose efforts to codify discrimination into law. Same-sex marriage is legal in six states and the District of Columbia, but 31 states have passed amendments to ban it. The NAACP vote came about two weeks after President Barack Obama announced his support for gay marriage, setting off a flurry of political activity in a number of states. Obamas announcement followed Vice President Joe Bidens declaration in a television interview that he was absolutely comfortable with gay couples marrying. Civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law. The NAACPs support for marriage equality is deeply rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and equal protection of all people said NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous, a strong backer of gay rights. Gay marriage has divided the black community, with many religious leaders opposing it. In California, exit polls showed about 70 percent of blacks opposed samesex marriage in 2008. In Maryland, black religious leaders helped derail a gay marriage bill last year. But state lawmakers passed a gay marriage bill this year. Pew Research Center polls have found that African Americans have become more supportive of same-sex marriage in recent years, but remain less supportive than other groups. The Human Rights Campaign, gay rights advocacy group, applauded the step by the Baltimorebased civil rights organization.

MISERICORDIA UNIVERSITY COMMENCEMENT
One graduate discovers that its never too late

Undergraduate and graduate degrees awarded to 392 members of class of 2012.
By CAMILLE FIOTI Times Leader Correspondent
DALLAS Forty-six-year-old Joseph Kreitzer of Plymouth proved its never too late to achieve your dreams, as he accepted his diploma at Misericordia Universitys 86th Commencement Saturday. He was one of the schools 392 members of the class of 2012 who were awarded undergraduate and graduate degrees. Had it not been for the support of family, Kreitzer may have never achieved his goal of earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. He had always wanted to continue his education after earning an associate degree at Luzerne County GRADUATE LIST Community College in 1992, but The following are Misericordia University applied and were eligible to the demands of work and family students who the spring commencement ceremoparticipate in life left little time to pursue his ny on Saturday: Eric Aeppli, Wyalusing, PA, Business Adminisgoal. tration, BS; Ebony Amora-Garrison, Brooklyn, NY, Having gone through the pro- Business Administration, BS; Megan Anderson, Fair Lawn, NJ, Education, MS; Kristen Andrews, gram schools Expressway Accel- Scranton, PA, History, BA; Michelle Anzalone, West erated Degree Program a few Pittston, PA, English, BA; Krista Artim,BS & Special Wyoming, PA, Elementary Education, years earlier, Kreitzers daughter, Education, BS; Jessica Aungst, Selinsgrove, PA, Pathology, Missy Kapsick of Shavertown, Speech Language Nursing, BS;MS; Dawna Barna, Wapwallopen, PA, Jacqueline Barna, Tunkhannock, PA, Elementary Education, BS & encouraged him to enroll.

pooled and compared notes. Our family is very supportive of each other, Kreitzer said, adding he couldnt have done it without the support of his wife, Gail. She sacrificed a lot, he said. The couples other daughter, Lisa Perfetto, 32, of Larksville, also inspired Kreitzer to finish what he started. Perfetto graduated at the top of her class from Geisingers phlebotomy program last year. We all shared in each others successes, he said. Kreitzer, who works in the Quality Assurance Department at the American Red Cross in Hanover Township, said the program helped him build a foundation for the future. Youre always learning new concepts and ideas, he said. I think education is so important that if something presents itself, youll have that background and it will support you down the road.

Frequent travelers Councilman Bill Barrett and former council members Tony Thomas and Kathy Kane, who is now city controller, were the most frequent travelers. The trio made yearly trips to the National League of Cities annual conference, traveling to numerous cites nationwide, including San Antonio; Reno, Nev.; New Orleans; Denver; Orlando, Fla., and Phoenix. Council allots $10,000 for travel, plus $4,000 more for training each year. The records show it has overspent that budget in several years, including 2007, when it spent a total of $20,665. Karen Ceppa Hirko, a taxpayer advocate who closely monitors the citys finances, has questioned whether the excursions are worth the cost. The public is largely unaware the money is being spent because council does not publicly vote to approve the trips, Ceppa Hirko said. The lack of documentation for meals is another example of the lack of accountability in many areas of the citys budget, she said. No one ever comes back and explains how the trip benefited the city or taxpayers. They just go, Ceppa Hirko said. Theres absolutely no accountability. None. Luzerne County Controller Walter Griffith, who lived in WilkesBarre until about a year ago, also questioned the flat rate meal policy. The county requires all employees to provide receipts and caps the amount they are reimbursed for each meal, he said. The issue is accountability for taxpayers money, Griffith said. If you are not producing a receipt, how do we know you are not putting the money in your pocket? If you get $60 for a meal, you should document you used the money for the meal. It shouldnt be walkingaround money.

vealed numerous instances from 2005 to 2010 in which council members were reimbursed for breakfast, lunch and dinner for each day of a multi-day conference, even though breakfast and/ or lunch were provided on some of the days. For instance, one or two council members have attended the Pennsylvania League of Cities Convention held each June in various parts of the state, including Erie and Bethlehem. Breakfast and lunch are typically provided on at least two days of the four-day conference, but council members received a meal allowance for all three meals each of the four days. Kingston Administrator Paul Keating said that very issue is the reason why Kingston requires employees and council members to provide receipts. There are a lot of conferences that come with a continental breakfast and buffet lunches, so you can get into paying someone for meals they are not necessarily spending money on, Keating said. Ceppa Hirko said theres also a question of whether the spouses of council members, who frequently accompanied them to out-of-state conventions, benefited from the per diems. Records reviewed by The Times Leader show council members provided receipts to document the city was not charged for their spouses airfare or conference registration. But theres no documentation regarding meals since they were paid the flat rate. I honestly believe they took the per diem to pay for their Meals at conferences spouses meals, Ceppa Hirko The newspapers review re- said.
Barrett insisted he has never used per diem money to pay for his wifes meals. He said he believes that, overall, the per diem meal rate he received fairly represented their actual costs. When I submitted travel requests, I was not looking to make money. If I got reimbursed for legitimate expenses, thats all I wanted, he said. I dont think anyone set out to use it as a way to make money. He acknowledged lunch was often provided at conferences he attended, but there were many occasions he could not make the scheduled meal due to conflicts in sessions. Lunch was provided at most, but it was very hit or miss, he said. I havent always had the best experience with those. There would be certain things out on the floor, but when you get Benefit of conferences there, theres nothing there.

There is a big difference. We look at the restaurants a corporate traveler would go to. Thats not the governments methodology, Uecker said. Joseph Wielgosz, a taxpayer advocate and frequent critic of council, said residents should be appalled by the meal policy. Wielgosz has repeatedly questioned whether the trips are worthwhile at all. If council is going to go, they should provide receipts at the very least, he said. You cant just take a trip, buy something off the dollar menu and pocket the rest of the money, Wielgosz said. There needs to be checks and balances to make sure this doesnt happen. Neither City Clerk Jim Ryan nor former controller Bernie Mengeringhausen, who approved the payments, could explain why the city has chosen to utilize the Runzheimer rate over the GSA rate. They also could not explain why the top rate was paid. That was the practice the city had, Mengeringhausen said. It was done before I got there and it was a practice that was continued. Merritt: Changes coming All this was news to council member Mike Merritt, who became board president this year. Merritt, now in his fifth year on council, said he has never traveled on a taxpayer-funded trip, so he was unaware of how council members were reimbursed for meals. He said he supports sending council members to conferences but believes some changes are in order relating to reimbursements for meals. I think they should have receipts, he said. That takes away any question the public may have If you spend $75, you get reimbursed $75 and have the receipts to prove it. Merritt said he will also discuss with council the possibility of capping the meal reimbursements at the GSA rate, as opposed to the Runzheimer rate. Wilkes-Barre does not have a lot of money, so that would help.
Ryan said there also is nothing that prevents council members from seeking reimbursement for a given Thomas meal, even if that particular meal was included in the conference registration fee. Council members have the option of having the meal that is offered or purchasing their own meals, Ryan said. I dont know why thats the way it is, but theyve always been given that option. Former city controller Bernie Mengeringhausen, who was responsible for reviewing the bills, said at some point he couldnt recall when he began to monitor the conferences to more closely police what meals were offered. That led him to alter the policy on payment, he said. It was changed to indicate that if anything was included, they did not get reimbursed for it, Mengeringhausen said. I would take the agenda (from the conference). If a meal was provided, it wasnt paid for. Mengeringhausen, who frequently attended conferences with council members, served as controller from 2000 until he retired last year. He said he believed he made the change years ago. But records indicate it was not made until 2011. Reimbursement requests that year specifically note the number of breakfasts, lunches and dinners for which the council member was reimbursed the Runzheimer rate. For instance, Barrett sought a meal per diem for his attendance at the four-day Pennsylvania League of Cities convention in Erie in June. He was paid for two breakfasts, one lunch and four dinners.

whether they spend more, or less, on their meals. Theyre not required to provide receipts. If they eat inexpensively, they can keep the difference. And the rate they are paid is quite generous compared to standards set by the General Services Administration, the accounting arm of the federal government. Disparity in rates The Times Leader reviewed hundreds of documents, including requests for reimbursement sought by council members, for travel-related expenses from 2005 to 2011. The review revealed differences some of which were significant between the average costs of meals calculated by Runzheimer versus the GSA in cities to which council members have traveled, with the GSA rate always being lower. For example, in addition to
Washington, D.C., council members have routinely traveled to Bethlehem, Erie and Hershey to attend various conferences held by the Pennsylvania League of Cities and other organizations. For trips to Erie, council members have been reimbursed $72.75 per day under the Runzheimer rate. The GSA rate was $46. The disparities are similar for Bethlehem and Hershey. Council members received $76.30 for trips to Bethlehem and $59.15 for trips to Hershey. The GSA meal rate for each of those two cities was $51. Runzheimer calculates an average meal cost, as well as a high and low range. The city always paid the top rate, rather than the average or low, the records show. Why is there such a large disparity between the Runzheimer and GSA rates? Runzheimer is a fee-based, subscription service utilized by businesses. Its costs are estimated based on what a corporate traveler would experience, said Genevieve Uecker, a spokeswoman for Run-
Tropical storm watch issued for parts of S.C. coast due to Alberto
By TOM FOREMAN Jr. Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. Forecasters late Saturday issued a tropical storm watch for parts of the South Carolina coast after the first tropical storm of the 2012 hurricane season formed in the Atlantic. The National Hurricane Center in Miami issued the watch after Tropical Storm Alberto
formed Saturday. The official start to hurricane season is June 1, but tropical storms occasionally occur before then. The advisory covers the South Carolina coast from the Savannah River to the South Santee River for at least the next 24 hours. Tropical storm and dangerous surf conditions are possible. Late Saturday, the storm was
110 miles southeast of Charleston, S.C. with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. It was moving southwest at 6 mph. Forecasters advised coastal interests from Georgia to North Carolinas Outer Banks to track the storm. The hurricane center said a decrease in speed was expected through Sunday, with the storm
turning toward the west-northwest and then moving northnortheast by Monday. Tropical storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles. National Weather Service meteorologist Sandy LaCorte in Wilmington, N.C. said early Saturday evening that there is a high risk of rip currents along North Carolinas Outer Banks.

Turn your life into an infinite, living memoir

emoirs can make fascinating reading especially so for genealogists. If your ancestors wrote down their personal stories, you are fortunate indeed. You have not only facts about them, but also insight into their character, their daily lives and their most personal thoughts and motivations. So why not write your own? Your family especially the genealogists will love you for it. What are your memoirs? Unlike an autobiography, memoirs (meaning recollections) do not have to cover every little detail in your life. Instead, your memoirs focus on whatever areas you want. So youre not a professional writer? Look at it this way. Did not being a professional ever stop you from going fishing, cooking lasagna, changing a tire or making a quilt? You did those things because you wanted to, and you did them well. You can do the same with your recollections. Follow these simple guidelines. Start by taking a notepad or opening up the first of several blank documents on your computer. Devote one sheet to each of the major areas of your life (such as childhood). Then, fill in everything you can think of under each heading. The first of those headings could be all the information you have about your parents and grandparents and any earlier ancestors you know about. When and where were they born? When did they come to America? Where did they live and what work did they do? Who was in their families? What churches did they attend, and what military service did they have. Under the second heading, talk about your early life, beginning with your birth and your earliest recollections of your home, parents and siblings. Tell about your neighborhood and school. You can include sports, amusement parks and little jobs, like babysitting. If you talk about breaking Mrs. Murphys window, dont worry: the statute of limitations has expired. Your third heading should be all about your growing up and becoming a young adult. This is where you write about dating, making the basketball team, graduation, college or tech school, military service, that first job, your marriage, your first car, your first house, your first child. Start more pages. You can break up your adult life into as many headings as you like, each one to a sheet of paper. Perhaps your next heading will take you up to the time your children finally left home. If your work took you to another part of the country, that could call for a new heading and a new sheet of paper. Dont forget to tell about your parents as they grew older, and perhaps passed away. Write about your children getting jobs and starting their own families. Are you retired? Begin yet another heading. This is the place to talk about the lessons youve learned in life, the values youve tried to teach, loved ones youve lost, the people who most inspired or helped you. Of course when you read it over youll find revisions are necessary. Put in the name of that first boss, whom you just remembered. Correct the date for the purchase of your home. Fix up your sentences and make sure they all say what you want them to say. Spell check words youre not sure of. Finally, make several copies of the memoir, and keep them in different places. The work can also be scanned into a computer and/or put on disc. You can never be too careful. And dont forget to tell every genealogist in your family that youve done it. Thats the whole idea.

Peter Dziak taps up the global rankings
THE IRISH BIEBER

By VIKKI ORTIZ HEALY Chicago Tribune
HICAGO Peter Dziak camouflages himself well as a typical14-yearold kid in the suburbs. He rides his bike to friends houses. He has a paper route. He plays center field for his hometown Villa Park Vipers. But watch closely during a down moment, when hes waiting for fly balls in the outfield, and Peters fancy footwork might give away the eighth-graders international secret identity. Hes the Justin Bieber of the Irish dancing world.
Sometimes, you know, just randomly when Im getting bored, Ill just randomly start dancing, said Peter, who last month brought home the World Irish Dancing Championship title from Dublin for the second straight year. The accomplishment comparable to back-to-back Super Bowl wins required Peter to beat 54 top dancers his age from Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, England, Iceland, Brazil, China, Japan and Russia. It inspired a crowd of Irish-dance fans to greet him at OHare International Airport when he returned home with the giant silver trophy, and has prompted girls to rush the stage for his picture or autograph at recent dance performances. Howard and other teachers at the 30-year-old dance school note that the last Chicago student to win the title for the school was Michael Flatley, aka Lord of the Dance, in 1976. Still, on most days, in a metropolitan area with a rich Irish history and long-standing appreciation for Irish dance at parades, taverns and downtown theater shows, the freckle-faced Boy Scouts global renown remains under the radar.

MEET BOB AND BEVERLY ASTOLFI
ob and Beverly Astolfi have been married for 48 years. They graduated from Plains High School and own The Childrens Bootery in Kingston. Bob, 71, and Beverly, 69, live in Forty Fort. They have five children: Michelle, Dean, Cynthia, Nicole and Danette.
seemed to come out for the events. Has the store always been called Childrens Bootery? Bob: It was actually called Dr. Davids before we bought the business in 1977. How did the business purchase come about? Bob: After I finished my stint in the military as a military policeman, a friend encouraged me to get into the shoe business. I worked as an employee of the Brown Shoe Company at Isaac Long Department Store. I was promoted and transferred to other stores after the flood of 72. The Isaac Long store did not reopen and I found my niche as a general manager and regional coordinator at various locations including Elmira, N.Y., Lexington, Ky., and Hershey, Pa. In 1974 I was general manager for B. Levy Shoes until 1976. I left that job to do mission work for a year. I finally settled back in and my wife and I bought Dr. Davids and The Childrens Bootery was born. Has traveling been part of your family adventures throughout the years? Beverly: When the

You and your wife are approaching your 50th wedding anniversary. That is very admirable. I understand that you are also celebrating the 35th Anniversary of Childrens Bootery this year. What does the future hold? Bob: We are set to close the store this year and retire. It has been a wonderful experience to share through the years with our family and other families and friends. What has been special about the experience? Bob: Its still all about the family. Some of the kids that we fitted years ago now bring their children in to be fitted for shoes. When people bring in their infant for the first time to be fitted it is a special feeling. They feel like part of the family and you get to watch the kids grow up over the years. Friendships are made. The families go back as far as three generations. What are some of the other pleasant memories here at the store through the years? Beverly: There used to be sidewalk sales all the time. There were kids all over the place. There were ice cream carts and many vendors. The whole town

boy at his familys church, a goalie for a youth soccer team, an avid swimmer and a paintball lover. He shares a Chicago Cubs-themed bedroom with Randy and sleeps on the top bunk. With home schooling, I also think kids at a young age need to be exposed to a lot of things, said Joan Dziak. A visitor who meets the Dziak children can see how the approach seems to have worked marvelously. They are quick to take a younger sibling in their lap or get lunch started when the others are hungry. Rosanne Deardurff, Andrews mother, said Peters dance victories havent gone to his head. For all he has performed and his great successes and the notoriety around the world, hes a very modest boy, she said. Hes very humble about all his specialness. With the second world title under his belt, Peter will perform several times this summer, including a show in Belgium. The young performer loves dancing and would consider a professional career in it. But he would also like to become a pilot, police officer or journalist. For now, hes just enjoying a little bit of everything. When I first came back after I won, my friends from baseball were saying, Dance for us. Dance! and Im like, Nooo, Peter said. If we win the World Series, I will.

kids were younger we use to travel to North Carolina. We love Nags Head, Jockey Ridge State Park and Holden Beach. We would also frequent the local amusement parks with the kids. Knoebels and Angela Park were just a couple of the places we went to. We would hit all the amusement parks. What are some of the improvements you would like to see occur in Northeastern Pennsylvania as you have witnessed many changes over the years? Bob: The infrastructure needs to be better. There has to be a better effort to make more employment available. The young people are tending to leave the city for jobs. Beverly: I would like to see people be more neighborly like it used to be when everyone knew everyone in a pleasant manner. Is there any moment in particular that stands out to either of you, professionally or personally? Bob: For some reason, Fathers Day three years ago stands out. All five of my kids showed up and we shared a pew at church. They came from all different directions to make the trip here. It was very special to me. Beverly: I would have to second the family notion. I am proud of the kids accomplishments and the family that has come from this special marriage. The Childrens Bootery will be closing soon. What would you like to say to the friends, families and customers that have visited your store through the years? Bob: In regards to the store we set out to offer quality shoes and a fitting service in an honest and patient manner. I hope we fulfilled that mission. We will miss everyone dearly.

Hes a pretty good friend to have, says Andrew Deardurff, a 13-year-old from Elmhurst who can count on Peter to ride his bike over at least twice a week to shoot air guns in Andrews yard. Peters parents, Joan and Dick Dziak who are both mostly Irish, with a bit of Polish on Dicks side began enrolling their seven children in Irish dance more than a decade ago after feeling morally at odds with some of the suggestive moves their elder daughters learned in mainstream ballet, tap and jazz. The Dziaks (pronounced De Jacques) liked that Irish dance allowed the family an activity they could all drive to together. They danced at the Downers Grove and Elmhurst studios. Trinity, which has 1,100 students across Chicago, is designed to teach children discipline, but also that its OK to fail. We feel they are not going to remember what they won, but theyll remember how this organization made them feel the family atmosphere, Howard said. At Trinity, every child can participate at his or her own pace, Joan Dziak said. In Peters case, that pace was to begin winning competitions almost immediately. He won a regional title his first year in

2006, and then again in 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and also a national title in 2011. All the Dziak children have competed, and two of Peters siblings older brother Randy, 17, and older sister Ann, 19 have also earned national and international rankings. Joan Dziak still marvels that her children have excelled so much at the activity for which she buys secondhand costumes and helps raise funds for travel expenses. Last year, when Peter won, I thought maybe it was a fluke.
But then when he got it twice, I was like, Wow, hes really good, she joked. Some of these steps he can do, theyre really complicated. And he can remember them, but he cant remember to take the garbage out? To that end, Joan, who teaches water aerobics, and Dick, who owns a landscaping company, make efforts to keep all their children down-to-earth and wellrounded. Each of the children is home-schooled, which evolves into part-time attendance at the public high school so they can
participate in team sports. For extra cash, Peter and his 11-year-old sister, Mary Ellen, share a paper route. He and Randy have a summer landscaping business called Randys Lawn Service and Peter doesnt mind the omission of his name. Dick helped his sons build a stage in their backyard for Irish-dance practice. In between travels to Canada, Scotland and Ireland for dance competitions, and the three days each week set aside for dance practice, Peter is also an altar

Blue Knights swept singles play during their morning state semifinal vs. Harriton.

OPINION
The fight was still there, even after the finish

n the middle of his second set, on his way to his first loss this season, George Parkhurst offered his own assessment of his play loud enough for everyone at the Hershey Racquet Club to hear. Embarrassing, Parkhurst shouted. Maybe the PIAA Class 2A title match felt that way to Parkhurst and his Wyoming Seminary Blue Knights. But what they accomplished Saturday in Hershey wont be forgotten anytime soon. The Blue Knights somehow found a way to win all three singles matches Saturday morning, when the opportunity to compete for a state championship was riding on each of those matches. In the end, the Blue Knights didnt have enough left to win a state title later Saturday afternoon against a fresher and more experienced Wyomissing team that played in its fourth straight PIAA championship and won three of them, including a 4-1 victory over Sem. Weve been here before, Wyomissings top singles player, Ricardo Saad, said. We have some big players ready to play some big matches. I dont know how many times Seminarys been to the championship round. Try two. The Blue Knights won the PIAA title in 2001, the first year Pennsylvania began holding a high school tennis championship for teams. And they didnt go back to the finals until Saturday. Nobody from the Wyoming Valley Conference does. So Sem had nothing to be upset about, even if the Blue Knights seemed a little red-faced over dropping their first team match of the season in the state championship round. We had a good day, Parkhurst said afterward. Its exciting. Our team put in a lot of hard work. We grinded out a bunch of close ones. We know we deserve to be here. They were there at the end of it all receiving silver medals, only because the Blue Knights didnt know when, or how, to quit Long after the title match had been decided, with Wyomissing already assured state gold while holding a 4-0 lead, Georges brother Harry Parkhurst was still down on the court playing his heart out at No. 2 singles. And showing the kind of heart that brought Sem to the state title match in the first place, by going the distance to capture an amazing 7-6, 6-7, 14-12 victory in tangle with Ridrigo Saad that lasted more than two hours. You got the feeling Harry Parkhurst would have went at it all night. Harry can hang in there with anybody, senior George Parkhurst, the District 2 singles champion, said while admiring his twin brother. I dont think hes lost a team singles match, including states, his entire high school career. George Parkhurst lost for the first time this year, dropping a 6-3, 6-1 decision to the wicked serves and sheer power of Ricardo Saad. But not before George Parkhurst, who played three straight three-set state matches before the finals, took the first game and had the first set tied 2-2 before fatigue kept sending his returns and serves into the net. And not before he impressed his supremely talented opponent. I think George is really good, Ricardo Saad said. I think he was pretty tired from his match this morning. Could have made a difference. The last match they played turned out to be a lot different than the Blue Knights envisioned. But an embarrassment? Hardly.

HERSHEY Losing just once in a season is a major accomplishment. Dropping just one outcome in consecutive seasons shows just how dominant Wyoming Seminarys boys tennis has been in the last two years. Unfortunately for the Blue Knights, their only losses in that span came in their last match of the season. That includes Saturdays 4-1 setback to Wyomissing in the finals of the PIAA Class 2A Team Championships at the Hershey Racquet Club. After an excruciating semifinal win earlier in the day, the Blue Knights couldnt carry the momentum to the finals against the Spartans (22-0), who claimed their third state title in four years and kept Seminary from its first gold medal since 2001. The gratifying aspect for the Blue Knights (17-1) is that their only two losses the last two seasons have come to eventual state champions. In 2011, they lost to Holy Ghost Prep in the state semis for an indication of just how talented the team has been over the span. It was my last team match in high school tennis and it was exciting to do better than last year and get to the state finals, senior George Parkhurst said. Its the biggest match of the year that you could possibly have. Its exSee FINALS, Page 9C

Nanticokes Rubasky takes no-hitter into the seventh inning as Trojanettes prevail.

Throwing the plan off course
WRIGHT TWP. Hannah Rubasky wasnt going to pitch much Saturday against Crestwood. Nanticoke coach Gary Williams said the plan was for the senior to share the circle against the Comets. NANTICOKE Rubasky scuttled those plans, however, by CRESTWOOD pitching an absolute gem, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning of Nanticokes 4-0 win Saturday. I didnt know, actually, Rubasky said of facing the pressure of completing a no-hitter. There were so many great plays by our outfield. And Kaylee (Schinski) at second base had a great catch. The team behind me played great defense today. The plan was to split it (with pitcher Brooke Chapin), Williams said. Unbelievably, we didnt realize she had a no-hitter. We were talking about a pitching change when one of the assistants noticed. Rubasky retired 12 in a row between the second and sixth innings, thanks to her impressive
BALTIMORE Ill Have Another did just that, winning another Triple Crown race with even more flash and dash than he did in the Kentucky Derby. By bolting past Bodemeister again this time in Saturdays Preakness, all that stands in the way of racing glory is the Belmont Stakes in three weeks. Win that and the smooth-striding 3-year-old will find himself in the company of Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Affirmed, the last to win thoroughbred racings most coveted prize in 1978. Thats heady company for a colt who has yet to be favored in any of his seven races. That should change in the Belmont. Were thinking Triple Crown, baby, elated winning trainer Doug ONeill said. Hes a special horse. Well see how he comes out of it, and if he comes out of it in good shape, were heading

But theres one big storyline difference this time: Bodemeister is skipping the Belmont. Hes getting off the bus here, trainer Bob Baffert said. The 1 3-16-mile Preakness unfolded the same way as the 114-mile Derby, with the speedy Bodemeister moving to the lead under Mike Smith and Ill Have Another hanging back in fourth in the 11-horse field. The early fractions were slower than the Derby, but when it came time for Bodemeister to dig in, it was Ill Have Another who found another gear under young jockey Mario Gutierrez and surged past the tiring pacesetter in the shadow of the wire.

Twelve-inning triumph delivers crown to Cougars

Hazleton Area goes from a game behind first place three days prior to an outright win of Division I East.
By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE It took three extra days, 12 total innings and some help from the rest of the league, but Hazleton Area still managed to pull it off. A long shot at the start of the week, the Cougars nevertheless claimed the WVC Division I East title on Saturday after a full afternoon of baseball at Hollenback Park. Completing a game that had been suspended because of darkness on Wednesday, the Cougars outlasted Holy Redeemer 8-7 in 12 innings to win the crown outright. The championship came courtesy of a big assist from that same Royals BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER squad, which knocked off Pittston Area 3-2 just a few hours earlier on Saturday at Pittston Area pinch runner John Faggotti, left, gets tagged out by Holy RedeemSee COUGARS, Page 6C

PHILLIES PROSPECTS
Marshall is part of pitching logjam

Smooth season for prospect Ruf

The Yankees system is stocked with top pitching prospects, so there might not be any room on the top prospects list for 22-year-old Brett Marshall. But the right-hander is making a push for notice. For Trenton this season, hes been very consistent, only allowing three or more runs once in eight starts. Hes used that to race to a 4-1 record with a 2.79 ERA. He doesnt strike out many batters (26), but he doesnt walk many either with just 13. And, he hasnt allowed a run since May 4. Here are the New York Yankees Top 10 prospects according to MLB.com. 1. Manny Banuelos, LHP, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (TripleA): The left-hander pitched Friday night and was roughed up by Toledo, giving up five runs, four hits and three walks in just four innings of a nodecision. In six starts for Yankees, hes 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA and 22 Ks in 24 innings. 2. Dellin Betances, RHP, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (TripleA): The 6-foot-8, 260-pound righty has struggled with command at times this season, including a loss last week to Toledo where he walked six in just 3 2 3 innings. On the season, hes 2-3 with a 5.40 ERA, 35 strikeouts and 35 walks in 40 innings. 3. Gary Sanchez, catcher, Charleston (A): The 19-year-old is still having a solid campaign for the RiverDogs, hitting .315 in 33 games. Last week, he knocked in a career-high six when he also hit his second home run of the season. He also has stolen eight bases so far this season. He had a 10-game hitting streak snapped last week. 4. Mason Williams, outfielder, Charleston (A): The fourthround selection in 2010 is hitting a respectable .311 for the RiverDogs this season with three home runs and 15 RBI. The 20-year-old is also a speedster with three triples, eight doubles and 12 stolen bases. 5. Jose Campos, RHP, Charleston (A): A 19-year-old acquired in the Michael PinedaJesus Montero trade in the offseason was off to a good start before getting roughed up in an outing. Then he was placed on the disabled list last week with elbow inflammation. Hes currently 3-0 with a 4.01 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 24 23 innings. 6. Slade Heathcott, outfielder, TBA: The 2009 first-round draft pick is currently in extended spring training rehabbing a shoulder injury that sidelined him for the end of the 2011 season. Hes expected to play his first game of 2012 on June 5 with High-A Tampa. 7. Austin Romine, catcher, TBA: A 23-year-old who was expected to be with Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre this season, he is currently on the disabled list with a lower back strain. He was switched to the 60-day DL last week to open a spot on New Yorks 40-man roster. When hes healthy, he should join the SWB Yankees. 8. Dante Bichette Jr., third base, Charleston (A): The Yankees first pick in 2011 (51st overall) is batting just .239 for the RiverDogs with four extrabase hits and 14 RBI. Hes starting to get things together, reaching base in eight of his last nine games while going 12for-33 in that span. 9. Cito Culver, shortstop, Charleston (A): A first-round pick in 2010 (32 overall), the 19-year-old is having a season of streaks. After slumping to begin the season, he stepped up his game over a seven-game span in which he hit .300. Now, hes in another rut, going just eight for his last 40 to see his average drop down to .214. 10. Adam Warren, RHP, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (TripleA): He had his best start of the season last week, but took a loss to Durham. He only gave up one run in seven innings, but still has his record fall to 2-2. For the season, he has a 4.58 ERA with 25 strikeouts in 37 13 innings.
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
SWB catcher Gustavo Molina is congratulated by Austin Krum after hitting a home run in a game played June 6 last year.
Molina catches on despite the odds

Gustavo Molina isnt part of the famous brothers who catch in the major leagues. But he is a catcher in the New York Yankees organization. Playing mainly as a backup for Triple-A Scranton/WilkesBarre, Molina started the season at Double-A Trenton after spending 2011 playing in Moosic and New York. Time after time, the 30-yearold has come through when called upon. Last year for SWB, he had several big hits to help his team win a ball game as he smashed four home runs and drove in 21 in 47 games. After being called up to Triple-A, hes continuing to get
huge hits for Scranton/WilkesBarre. He laced a go-ahead two-run single in the top of the sixth of a 3-1 win over Toledo last week. A week before that hit, he won a game in the bottom of the 10th for the Yankees against Columbus with a runscoring single. It feels good when you step to the plate with the game on the line, Molina said to the SWB Yankees Above the Plate Blog. All you want to do is put the ball in play. It feels pretty good when you get a hit to win the game. Theres nothing like feeling like that. Even though Molina didnt spend anytime below Triple-A in 2011, an excess of catchers in Spring Training with the Yankees made him expendable. He had a great spring for the Yan-
kees, hitting .389 (7-for-16) with a home run and two RBI, but there was no room for the veteran minor leaguer on the major league roster. Then when the Yankees traded for Chris Stewart and Francisco Cervelli was sent to Triple-A, there was no room for Molina there either. So he took his assignment to Trenton and excelled before getting hurt and missing time. He batted .304 with two home runs and six RBI for the Thunder in just six games to prove he should be at a higher level. Every time you get to spring training, you want to make a good impression, Molina said. Wherever they decide to send you, Double-A or Triple-A and just keep working. Baseballs like that. Its a
long season you never know what can happen.
GOLSON IN CHARLOTTE Former Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees can be found all over the International League. One of the most notable faces is outfielder Greg Golson, who has latched on with Charlotte, the Chicago White Sox Triple-A squad. And Golson is performing well for the Knights. He entered Friday tied for the league lead in hits with 46, fourth in runs (27) and 12th in batting average (.301). He also has one home run, 13 RBI and six stolen bases. Last year for Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre, he batted .263 with eight home runs and 15 stolen bases.
DISTRICT 2S PRESENCE IN PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL
Russ Canzler, Hazleton Area, Columbus (Cleveland, Triple-A): The Hazleton native must have been glad to see a team other than the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. After playing four against SWB earlier this month and getting just one hit, the 26-year-old has been on fire. Hes hitting 10-for-31 (.323) with three home runs in eight games since ending a series against his hometown team. He faces the Yankees again this week, this time in Columbus. The series started Saturday and continues through Tuesday. To date for the Clippers, after a slow start, hes now hitting .265 with three home runs, 12 RBI and a .310 on base percentage. Originally drafted by the Cubs in the 30th round in 2004, he was signed as a minor league free agent by Tampa Bay last year and then traded to Cleveland in this offseason. After having a decent spring for the Indians, he was sent down to Columbus.
Cory Spangenberg, Abington Heights, Lake Elsinore (San Diego, Class A advanced): The No. 10 overall pick last June by the Padres is currently on a roll for the Storm. After beginning the season slowly, the No. 6 overall prospect in the Padres system according to MLB.com was hitting in a .479 stretch to raise his average over .300 for the season. But an 0-for-8 streak last week dropped his average back under .300 to .285 for the season. To date, he also has 15 stolen bases in 18 attempts to go along with three triples and eight doubles.
Ray Black, Coughlin, San Francisco (extended Spring Training): Drafted in the seventh round (237th overall) out of Pittsburgh last June, the right-handed pitcher hasnt made his professional debut, continuing to work in extended Spring Training. The 21-yearold is currently in Scottsdale, Ariz., for the Giants. Extended spring training is just like regular spring training and consists of workouts and games to keep players fresh in the case he is needed to fill in for an injury. A number of players also stay in EST until June when the shortseason teams open the season. Black is ranked the No. 24 overall prospect in the organization, according to Baseball America and has been known to reach in the high 90s with his fastball. He is also listed as an Under the Radar player for the organization, according to MLB.com.
Rich Thompson, Montrose, Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia, Triple-A): The 33-year-old is finally getting a shot in the Major Leagues. He was traded last week from the Phillies to Tampa Bay and was immediately called up to the big leagues. On the day of his call-up, he also saw action as a pinch-runner, but was stranded on third. Before the trade, he was hitting .307 for Lehigh Valley with seven stolen bases and an on base percentage of .390. Originally drafted in the sixth round by the Blue Jays in 2000 out of James Madison, he is now playing for his seventh organization. So far for Tampa, the outfielder picked up his first Major League hit and RBI in a game against the Red Sox on Thursday night. His last taste of the majors came in 2004 for the Royals where he received his only big league at-bat prior to last week. .
Kyle McMyne, Old Forge, Dayton (Cincinnati, Class A): Taken by the Reds in the fourth round (145 overall) of last years draft out of Villanova, the righthanded reliever has gotten off to a good start for the Midwest Leagues Dragons. After allowing a run on May 3, he has pitched 9 23 scoreless innings. On the season, in 22 13 innings the 22-year-old has allowed 17 hits, three earned runs and just three walks. Hes averaging just under a strikeout per inning with 21 so far this season to go with a 3-2 record in 15 games. He is holding opponents to a .202 batting average and has only given up one home run.
Being drafted just three years ago out of Creighton, Darin Ruf is just starting to get in a groove in the Phillies organization. The first baseman isnt listed as a top prospect for the organization, but he is starting to make experts take notice. Playing for Double-A Reading, the 25-year-old is second in the Eastern League in batting average (.359) to go along with six home runs and a leagueleading 28 RBI in 39 games. In 2011playing for Clearwater, Ruf hit .308 with17 home runs and 82 RBI. In his first two seasons combined after being drafted, he only hit12 home runs. The 6foot-3, 220-pound right-handed hitter and thrower has also swiped two stolen bases this season. Here are Philadelphias top10 prospects according to MLB.com and how they are faring in 2012. 1. Trevor May, RHP, Reading (Double-A): May earned a nodecision last week allowing three runs in five innings. In that outing, he also struck out a season-low three, but he still leads the Eastern League with 48 Ks. He has a 5-2 record with a 2.91ERA in 46 13 innings. 2. Jesse Biddle, LHP, Clearwater (A-Advanced): The 20-yearold top draft pick for the Phillies in 2010 is in a groove after a slow start. Hes won two of his last three starts and only allowed three runs in18 23 innings in that span. For the season, hes 2-2 with 40 strikeouts in 36 13 innings. 3. Brody Colvin, RHP, Clearwater (A-Advanced): The 21-yearold has been struggling of late for the Threshers, allowing11runs in 10 13 innings over his last two starts to see his ERA balloon to 5.31with a 2-3 record. 4. Larry Greene, first base, TBA: The first-round pick from last June has yet to play in a professional game. The19-year-old is currently in extended spring training. 5. Phillippe Aumont, RHP, Lehigh Valley (Triple-A): The 6-foot-7, 260-pound 23-year-old reliever hasnt pitched since May 2 and is considered day-to-day due to tightness in his upper back. Hes expected to throw a side session and be re-evaluated. 6. Sebastian Valle, catcher, Reading (Double-A): Struggles continue for the 21-year-old, who is hitting just .175 in his last10 games. His batting average was well-over .300 last month and now it has plummeted to .223. 7. Justin De Fratus, RHP, TBA: He was on a rehab assignment and was shut down after experiencing soreness in his right elbow. Hes expected to begin working out again next month. 8. Freddy Galvis, infielder, Philadelphia: He found a starting spot at second base for the Phillies early, but lately is starting to split time with Pete Orr. He is hitting .233 with one home run and16 RBI in 39 games. 9. Maikel Franco, third base, Lakewood (Class A): Only19, he could end up being one of the next top hitters in the organization. Signed as a non-drafted free agent in 2010 from the Dominican Republic, hes batting .230 with four home runs and17 RBI in 38 games. 10. Jonathan Pettibone, RHP, Reading (Double-A): Another starting pitcher with promise for Philadelphia, hes been consistent in Double-A, going 2-4 with a 3.78 ERA in eight starts.
On This Date
Brian Sanches is a right-handed reliever who was called up to the Phillies earlier this month. He also has a spot in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre record book. On May 21, 2006, he established a franchise record by retiring his 30th consecutive batter. The streak dated back to 12 previous days. He eclipsed the previous mark of 24, set by Robert Gaddy in 1994. Gaddy still holds the record for most consecutive batters retired in a single game.

NEW YORK Joey Votto hit a three-run homer, Jose Arredondo worked out of a ninth-inning jam for his first major league save and the Cincinnati Reds held off the New York Yankees 6-5 Saturday. New York scored twice off Sean Marshall in the ninth, but Reds manager Dusty Baker pulled his regular closer in favor of Arredondo and he got the job done. The right-hander entered with runners at first and second and one out, and Derek Jeter grounded his first pitch to third. Cincinnati nearly turned a game-ending double play, but Jeter just beat the relay. Curtis Granderson then fouled off a 3-0 pitch before topping a slow roller to Votto for the final out.

MILWAUKEE Trevor Plouffe hit a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to lift the Minnesota Twins to a victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Plouffes fourth homer of the season came off Manny Parra (0-1) with two outs. Parra had retired the first two batters before Plouffe connected on a 2-0 pitch that landed in the Brewers bullpen.
Red Sox 7, Phillies 5
TORONTO Brandon Morrow pitched his second shutout in four starts, blanking the Mets on three hits and leading the Toronto Blue Jays over New York. Morrow (5-2) struck out nine and walked one to win for the fifth time in six outings. He has three career shutouts, including a victory over the Los Angeles Angels on May 3. Toronto won its fourth in a row overall.
Indians 2, Marlins 0
CLEVELAND Jeanmar Gomez pitched three-hit ball into the seventh inning and Asdrubal Cabrera homered to lead the Cleveland Indians past the Miami Marlins. Gomez (3-2) allowed two Marlins to reach base in an inning only once, striking out four over 6 1-3. Cabrera connected off Anibal Sanchez (2-2) to put Cleveland ahead in the fourth inning.
Pirates 4, Tigers 3
DETROIT Andrew McCutchen hit a pair of tworun homers and A.J. Burnett pitched six solid innings to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a win over the Detroit Tigers. A day after Detroits Justin Verlander took a no-hitter into the ninth while shutting out the Pirates, McCutchen went deep twice off Tigers rookie Drew Smyly (1-1). It was McCutchens sixth career multihomer game and second in three days. He has seven home runs on the season.
Giants 4, Athletics 0
PHILADELPHIA David Ortiz homered, singled and drove in two runs to lead the Boston Red Sox to a win over Philadelphia, snapping the Phillies six-game winning streak. Mike Aviles, Will Middlebrooks and Jarrod Saltalamacchia also homered for Boston, which won for the seventh time in nine games. Saltalamacchia went 3 for 4, needing a triple for the cycle. Jon Lester (3-3) improved to 3-0 in four career starts against the Phillies despite matching a season high for hits allowed with eight and giving up four runs in six innings. Freddy Galvis homered, and John Mayberry Jr., Hector Luna and Shane Victorino each had three hits for the Phillies as the teams combined for 26 hits. Joe Blanton (4-4) pitched a season-low 4 1/3 innings while surrendering seven runs six earned on nine hits. Alfredo Aceves got four outs for his ninth save in 11 chances.

Gratalo remains undefeated

Former Pittston Area wrestler goes to 3-0. Hazletons Wells wins middleweight title.
By TOM ROBINSON For the Times Leader
DICKSON CITY Former Pittston Area wrestler Kris Gratalo improved to 3-0 and Hazletons Jeremiah Wells won a title fight Saturday night to highlight the amateur portion of PA Cage Fight 12, a Mixed Martial Arts card. Northeast MMA sponsored the card at Genetti Manor. There were two professional bouts and nine amateur bouts. Gratalo and Wells won the last two amateur bouts. Gratalo defeated Scrantons Paul McDonough 30-27 on all three cards. The 21-year-old, a former NCAA Division I wrestler at Lock
Haven, controlled most of the middleweight bout, but had to fight off four submission attempts on his left elbow. Im very flexible, Gratalo said. He was close toward the end, but I held on. Gratalo said the danger in MMA is submission holds that can end a bout in a matter of seconds. I knew from my teammates that he had good Jiu Jitsu and he would go for that, Gratalo said. Wells (5-1) stopped Dennis Maldonado at the end of the first round on a technical knockout for the PA Cage Fight Amateur middleweight title. Mike Bannon improved to 7-0 as a professional by stopping Jay Haas in 1:47 of the first round by getting a tap out with a knee bar. James Cianci, a Clarks Summit resident who trains in Swoyersville, met Joel Roberts in the 135-
pound main event. Roberts stopped Cianci on a rear naked choke hold 4:15 into the five-minute first round of an action-filled fight for the PA Cage Fight Featherweight title. Hazleton fighters Mike Zola and Keman Jackson won consecutive bouts early in the card. Zola overcame a penalty point for an illegal strike with his elbow in the first round and posted a majority decision over Billy Magliane in a bantamweight bout. Jackson won the first two rounds to take a unanimous decision from Derek Smith in a meeting of middleweights who were making their debuts. Other amateur winners were Maiguel Machado, Adam Atiyeh, Tyler Marinucci, Brad Turi and Sean Oliveri. Northeast MMA plans Cage Fight 10 for August at the Woodlands Inn and Resort.

Hollenback. Hazleton Area (9-6), which trailed Pittston Area and Coughlin by a game as late as Wednesday afternoon, won two games this week while the Patriots and Crusaders both lost twice to finish 8-7. Never thought wed be here, Cougars coach Gino Cara said after the celebration. This was important to me. It was very important to me on a personal level. These kids have been with me since they were 9 or 10 years old. To come back like this It was an impressive feat. Fittingly, it was decided on a tense day on the diamond as Henderson Concepcion brought home Kyle Klein with a sacrifice fly to right in the top of the 12th, breaking a 7-7 tie that had stood since Wednesday. Erik Johnson set the Royals down in order in the home half to pick up the win and finish off seven innings of relief. The teams had originally played nine full innings thanks to a tying two-run homer by Redeemers Eric Ringsdorf with two outs in the bottom of the seventh on Wednesday. The game resumed Saturday in the top of the 10th. Were probably the best sixloss team to ever win the division, joked Cara. I think that says a lot about our conference. There arent many six-loss teams that win divisions, but this whole conference was outstanding this year, top to bottom. The Royals, the lone Class 2A team out of 11 in Division I, proved that earlier in the day by stunning Pittston Area. Ringsdorf delivered a two-run double in the first for an early lead. Pat Condo made it 3-1 in the fourth with an RBI single and Redeemer held off a late rally in the seventh, stranding the tying run at third base. Will Cavanaugh pitched five innings of four-hit ball and Jim Strickland escaped a pair of jams for a two-inning save. The Royals finished the regular season 5-10 and will once again be a threat in the 2A tournament, looking for a third straight appearance in the district title game. Obviously were out here to win (it all), Redeemer coach Chris Ritsick said. Were getting prepped and ready for a run at the districts. I think we still need to clean things up, but I think were headed in the right direction. Pittston Area coach Paul Zaffuto had a different assessment of his squad after a second straight loss to teams trailing in the standings. The last two games, we didnt even come to play, Zaffuto said. We had championship on the mind, and guys just figure because were Pittston and weve been successful in the past that teams are just going to hand it over to us. They dont understand that they come after us twice as hard. Redeemers sitting at the bottom of the pack, and here they are playing their hearts out. Our guys are cheering (on the bench), but theyre not showing anything on the field. They didnt give me an effort that I thought we shouldve got for a championship
Tunkhannocks Novak pedals to the medals

fall. Novak, an experienced racer already by the time he reached the schools Columbia, Ky., campus, would be racing for more than just himself. Cycling in college is different, Novak said last week while driving back to Northeastern Pennsylvania with his parents. There is a lot more team practice. You are really racing for points, so you just want someone (from your team) to do well. So you use lots of team tactics. Team tactics or not, the 19-year-old from Tunkhannock found plenty of individual glory in his first season with the Blue Raiders. Novak finished second earlier this month in the USA Cycling Collegiate Road Nationals road race held in Ogden, Utah. That came just a week after he finished second in the road race and fifth in the criterium at the Midwest Collegiate Cycling Conference. And, oh yeah, in between he won a race at the Historic Roswell Criterium in Marietta, Ga. Im really happy, Novak said. (The season) couldnt have gone any better. I expected to do well, but I wasnt sure of how well I would do. I didnt really expect to do this well. Oddly enough, Novak wasnt even counting on a high finish in the road race in Ogden. I really thought I would do better in the criterium, said Novak, who finished 71st in that race which was held the day before the road race. I wasnt even feeling that well when I got to the (road) race, so I was really questioning whether I was going to even finish the race. Finish the race he did as he added a nice cap to his first collegiate season. Lindsey Wilson coach Dave Grigsby was impressed with Novak even before his finish in Ogden. David has emerged as one of the hardest working, fearless riders on the team, Grigsby told The Times Leader earlier in the year. He is a relentless attacker in any bike race, any discipline, and his fearlessness is definitely one of his strengths. David feels he can win any race he enters and that is something that is impossible to teach. Novak will now move on to his summer racing schedule with the Integrated Sports Medicine cycling team. Hes not sure exactly which races he will be in yet, but he is sure there will be plenty of them. One he is looking forward to doing is the Tour of Americas Dairyland, an 11-day stage race David Novak knew he was headed for a different type of cycling when he headed to Lindsey Wilson College last

through Wisconsin starting June 11. Then its back to Lindsey Wilson in the fall with an eye on improving on his finish at nationals. Thats what my goal is, Novak said. The only way to improve on second is to win. Passport Program worth a look Do you enjoy being outdoors? Since you are reading Cycling Scene, Im going to have to guess yes. Do you like free stuff and winning prizes? Well who doesnt? You will want to checkout the Keystone Active Zone Passport program this spring and summer. Basically, you go to www.kazpassport.org and download a passport. Then you visit various passport stops around Luzerne County and answer scavenger hunt questions, return to the website and log your answers. The more places you visit the more chances you have for awards and prizes. For instance, visit just five places parks, trails, etc. and you receive a pair of ice skating passes for the Ice Rink at Coal Street Park. Skate rental included! Its all geared to get people outside and active. So since you are probably riding already, you may as well download the passport, stuff it in your jersey pocket and visit a few of the sites. Race shortened According to a report on Philly.com, the Philadelphia International Cycling Championships, set for June 3, will be shortened due to budget concerns. Traditionally, professional cyclists would do 14 laps around the 14.7-mile course in Philadelphia, which includes the famed Manayunk Wall. This year, the race will be cut down to seven laps. But there is some good news. Organizers have added a morning rider for amateurs who will get to complete three circuits of the course. Be forewarned, however, that is a 17 percent grade in Manayunk. And some riders might consider the price just a steep for the privilege of suffering up the Wall. Through June 1 the registration fee is $95. Day of the event registration is $100. There is a fundraising option that reduces the registration fee to $25, provided the cyclist raise $250 in fundraising efforts.

game. The Patriots had several chances to rally against the Royals and force a playoff for the division title. Anthony Schwab and Tyler Loftus both hit RBI singles, but the Patriots stranded 10 runners on the day, including three in the sixth and two in the seventh. Earlier in the game, miscues led to two runners being thrown out at third. That opened the door for the Cougars, who captured their second division title in four seasons under Cara. This one, Cara said, is better than the last one. Every next one is better than the last one.

NEWARK, N.J. Henrik Lundqvist stopped all 36 shots, and Dan Girardi, Chris Kreider and Ryan Callahan scored thirdperiod goals to lead the New York Rangers to a 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday. The Rangers scored two goals only 1 minute, 57 seconds apart early in the third to help them take a 2-1 series lead. Lundqvist was busy from the opening faceoff en route to his second shutout of the series and third in the postseason. Callahan iced it with an empty-netter late in third.

where they had won four straight, was enough to help New Jersey. The Rangers have won every Game 1, lost each Game 2, and rebounded to win Game 3 in every round this postseason. Each preceding series, of course, saw them win the all-important last one: Game 7. Kreider, a rookie called up during Round 1 vs. Ottawa, has scored in every game of this series. Lundqvist was fantastic as he
showed again why he led the Rangers to an Eastern Conference-high 109 points. He stoned Adam Henrique on a nice backhander late in the second period to keep it scoreless entering the third, setting the stage for New Yorks late magic. He also toyed with Ilya Kovalchuk all game and stopped him on a nice breakaway in the second. Kovalchuk, who scored in Game 2, couldnt get untracked and neither could the rest of the Devils. Especially not with the way Lundqvist shined in net. The Rangers opened the third ready to go against Martin Brodeur and found a way to give Lundqvist a needed cushion. With Devils defenseman Bryce Salvador in the penalty box, Girardi pushed a slow wrist shot
past Brodeurs glove side, off a faceoff win by center Brad Richards. Brodeur could have easily stopped the point-blank shot, especially with no traffic in front of the net. The Rangers could have squeezed in a pair of John Tortorella press conferences before their next goal. Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh wristed a shot along the ice toward Brodeur that got through to the crease, eventually being deflected by Kreider and around a prone Brodeur. Devils defenseman Marek Zidlicky was out of position at the faceoff circle, when Kreider sneaked in behind him and poked it in.

Briscoe puts Penske back on Indy pole
IRVING, Texas Jason Dufner shot a 1-under 69 on Saturday, enough to keep a onestroke lead heading into the final round of the Byron Nelson Championship. On a day when nine players had or shared the lead, Dufner Dufner was the one on top alone for the second day in a row when play was done. He was at 8-under 202. Jason Day shot a 67, with his only bogey coming after missing a short putt on the 18th hole. He was a stroke back along with J.J. Henry and Dicky Pride. Henry also had a 67, and Pride shot a 69. Vijay Singh had a 66 and was two strokes back. Matt Kuchar, who won The Players Championship last weekend, was four shots back after a 72 with an up-and-down back nine. Kuchar still has a chance to become the first PGA Tour player since Tiger Woods in 2009 to win in consecutive weeks. Dufner got his first PGA Tour victory three weeks ago at New Orleans, then took a week off to get married before returning to play at The Players Championship last week. Sybase Match Play GLADSTONE, N.J. Morgan Pressel inched closer to her first LPGA Tour title since 2008, posting two very different victories to reach the semifinals of the Sybase Match Play Championship. Pressel rallied from 2-down with three holes to play to stun No. 2 ranked Na Yeon Choi in 19 holes in the morning and rolled over Anna Nordqvist of Sweden 5 and 4 in the afternoon quarterfinal in the surprised-filled event at the Hamilton Farm Golf Club. Pressel will face former NCAA champ Azahara Munoz a 5-and-4 winner over American Stacy Lewis in the semifinals, while Vicky Hurst and Candie Kung will square off in the other match. Volvo World Match Play CASARES, Spain Northern Irelands Graeme McDowell advanced to the World Match Play semifinals when Sergio Garcia missed a shot par putt on the first extra hole. McDowell will face Rafael Cabrera-Bello, a 3-and-1 winner over Spanish compatriot Alvaro Quiros. Belgiums Nicolas Colsaerts will play Scotlands Paul Lawrie in the other semifinal at Finca Cortesin.

Spurs go up 3-0 on Clippers

SPURS
LOS ANGELES Nothing was going to rattle the calm, cool and collected Spurs. Not even a 24-point deficit. Tim Duncan scored 19 points, helping engineer a defining 24-0 run in the third quarter, and San Antonio defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 96-86 on Saturday to take a commanding 3-0 lead in their second-round playoff series. We didnt plan on being down that much, said Duncan, who at 36 is hungry to win the teams fifth NBA championship and first since 2006-07. We stuck with it. Led by Tony Parkers 23 points and his defense on an ailing Chris Paul, the Spurs kept running their plays even as Blake Griffins early offensive assault buried them in a huge hole. Griffin missed three shots in the first half, when he scored 20 points and carried his team to a 24-point lead despite a left hip injury and a sprained right knee. They came out like we ex-

pected, very strong. Blake was making crazy shots, Parker said. We just took our time. Its a long game, a very long game. At halftime, we were very calm. Griffin had 28 points and 16 rebounds, and reserve Mo Williams added 19 points for the Clippers, who face some daunting NBA history heading into Game 4 on Sunday at Staples Center. No team has rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win a series. If we dont play with that sense of urgency, its not going to be pretty, Griffin said. The Clippers played a mustwin Game 7 in the opening round on the road at Memphis and succeeded. We have to keep fighting,
Paul said. Rookie Kawhi Leonard added 14 points and Manu Ginobili 13 to help the top-seeded Spurs win their 17th in a row and improve to 7-0 in the playoffs. We all struggled in the first quarter. We didnt feel right out there, said Duncan, who like his teammates, looked to Parker to pick the team up. We follow his lead. He stuck with it, made some big shots down the stretch and continued to attack, Duncan said. He was playing defense really hard and got up into Chris. Besides Parker, the Spurs threw two other defenders at Paul. He finished with 12 points and 11 assists after two previous sub-par efforts in the series. Tony really ran the show well, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. Id say, Lets do this and he said, No, lets do this, and wed do it. After a quiet first half in which he scored eight points, Duncan helped the Spurs control the third quarter when they outscored Los Angeles 26-8.
INDIANAPOLIS Roger Penskes strategy beat Michael Andretti by inches Saturday 9.168 inches to be exact. In the closest pole duel in Indianapolis 500 history, Team Penske sent points leader Will Power onto the track with two minutes left in the Pole Day shootout a shrewd move that prevented three Andretti drivers from taking one last shot at the pole and preserving it for his own guy, Ryan Briscoe It was a remarkable finish to a wild afternoon. Briscoe was the surprise winner of his first Indy pole with a four-lap average of 226.484 mph. He completed the 10-mile qualification run .0023 seconds quicker than James Hinchcliffe. The previous record was set in1970 when Al Unser defeated Johnny Rutherford by .01 seconds over the four-lap qualifying run. My name will go down forever for something that I won here at the Indy 500, Briscoe said. It will go straight into the record book. How close was the battle? Everybody seemed to have an explanation. When Hinchcliffe left the postrace news conference, Briscoe held his fingers about an inch apart and explained it was that close. Hinchcliffe already knew better. Its a gust of wind, its a shadow over a part of the track, Hinchcliffe said, before holding up his name card and explaining that was the distance. "Im going to lose a little bit of sleep at how small the margin was to Ryan. Eventually a series spokesman came in and blurted out the actual distance to the the thousandth of an inch. Nobody knows how to play this game better than Penske and he proved it again Saturday.

IndyCar driver Ryan Briscoe celebrates after winning the pole on the first day of qualifications for the Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday.
The iconic racing owner has now won five of the last seven poles at Indy and extended his own Indy record to 17 poles. Briscoe is the 11th driver to win a pole for The Captain, and it comes one week before Penske celebrates the 40th anniversary of his first career Indy win 1972. As usual, he didnt rely on conventional wisdom. Penskes three drivers Briscoe, three-time Indy winner Helio Castroneves and Power, the points leader spent most of this week just trying to crack the top 10 of the speed charts. Some around Gasoline Alley thought the only IndyCar team to win a pole or a race this season was sandbagging. Maybe they were. When Castroneves arrived at the track Saturday morning, it didnt take him long to top 227 mph in the early morning practice, and once qualifying began, it quickly became apparent this would be a twoteam race between Penskes drivers and the resurgent Andretti team.

Robert Gesink takes Tour of California lead

MOUNT BALDY, Calif. Dutchman Robert Gesink won the difficult seventh stage of the Tour of California on Saturday to take a 46-second lead in the overall standings into the largely ceremonial final leg. Gesink, the Rabobank rider who broke his right leg in a training accident last fall, pulled away from Colombias Jhon Atapuma in the final-half mile to win the 78.3-mile leg from Ontario to Mount Baldy in 3 hours, 37 minutes, 8 seconds. Gesink was fifth in the 2010 Tour de France.
This is amazing, Gesink said. At the end of last season I crashed and broke my leg. In January, I still had to learn how to walk. Now Im back. Atapuma, riding for Colombia-Coldeportes, was second in the same time. Colombia teammate Fabio Duarte was third, 14 seconds back in the stage. Dave Zabriskie, the GarminBarracuda rider from Salt Lake City, was second in the overall standings entering the final 46.2-mile stage from Beverly Hills to Los Angeles. Tom Danielson of Garmin-
Barracuda and Lyme, Conn., was third overall, 54 seconds behind. Ive been working really, really hard in the last few months, said Gesink, who won his first Tour of California stage in 2008. Amador wins stage of Giro CERVINIA, Italy Andrey Amador won the 14th stage of the Giro dItalia and Ryder Hesjedal took back the overall lead from Joaquin Rodriguez as the race took to the Alps on Saturday. On the first big summit finish
of the race, Amador crossed in 5 hours, 33 minutes, 36 seconds, edging out Jan Barta and Alessandro De Marchi on the 128-mile trek from Cherasco to Cervinia. Hesjedal takes back the pink jersey from Rodriguez, who wore it for four successive days. The 15th stage Sunday is similar to the 14th. The 105mile leg from Busto Arsizio to Lecco and Pian dei Resinelli starts off relatively flat before four categorized climbs. Monday is a rest day. The Giro ends on May 27 in Milan.

FINALS
citing whether we won or lost. Harry Parkhurst was the only Blue Knight to win a set against the buzzsaw Spartans, who dropped just two individual matches the entire state tournament. Harry Parkhurst defeated Rodrigo Saad 7-6, 6-7 (3), 14-12 in a marathon match that lasted more than two-and-a-half hours. The other players were all defeated in straight sets, including George Parkhursts first loss of the season at No. 1 singles. I just couldnt give him enough. He was really fresh, but as a team we played great today, George Parkhurst noted. The whole day wasnt a loss for the silver medalist Knights as they had a dramatic, comefrom-behind win in the semifinals. They were trailing Harriton
2-0 after the two doubles matches ended quickly in straight sets. Seminary was also losing two of the three singles matches after dropping the first sets at No. 1 and No. 3 singles. But they didnt give up and pulled out an exceptional victory. No. 1 singles player George Parkhurst, a Siena recruit, came back after losing his first set 4-6 to win the next two, 7-5, 6-1 over Max Blumenthal to trim the Rams lead to 2-1. His victory was sparked by an exceptional shot with his back facing his opponent and the ball going between his legs to net a point in the second set. We keep talking about never giving up. Well thats intellectually easy, but when youre in the heat of battle to stay calm, not to look ahead or behind and to stay in the present, these three guys in singles demonstrated that the last three matches, Seminary coach Mike Balutanski said.
Shortly after George Parkhursts win, his twin brother Harry ended his match with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 win over Sam Borowsky to even the match score at 2-all. That set up one of the most dramatic finishes the Knights program has ever been a part of with No. 3 singles player Henry Cornell. The junior was in the third set, trailing 5-3 and down 30-40 in the ninth game. Being just one point from team elimination, he didnt hold anything back. He rebounded to win that game, and then win the final three games to pull out a 7-5 win and send his team to the finals.
PREAKNESS
137TH PREAKNESS STAKES
Ill Have Another takes the second jewel

Kentucky Derby winner Ill Have Another edged out Bodemeister to take the Preakness Stakes and is now in position to become the first horse to sweep the Triple Crown since Affirmed in 1978.
Triple Crown dreams dashed at Belmont

Since Affirmed last won horse racings Triple Crown in 1978, 11 3-year-olds have won both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness but fallen short in the Belmont Stakes. A look at how those thoroughbreds ran at Belmont: 2008: Big Brown finishes last to Da Tara, the longest shot on the board. Big Brown fails to respond when jockey Kent Desormeaux asks for more speed in the last turn. At that point, Desormeaux eases him up. 2004: Smarty Jones extends his lead approaching the quarter pole and maintains a clear lead inside the furlong marker. Fights gamely into the deep stretch then yields grudgingly to finish second, a length behind Birdstone. 2003: Funny Cide leads to the far turn, relinquishes the lead to Empire Maker at the three-sixteenths pole, battles along the inside to the top of the stretch then weakens, finishing third, five lengths back. 2002: War Emblem stumbles badly out of the gate then bumps Magic Weisner at the start in an 11-horse field. Takes brief lead nearing the half-mile pole. Remains a factor to the turn but gives way, finishing eighth, 1912 lengths back. 1999: Charismatic takes the lead briefly at the turn but Lemon Drop Kid and Vision and Verse fly by him on the outside and he finishes third, 112 lengths back. 1998: Four lengths ahead with an eighth-mile remaining, Real Quiet is nipped by a nose at the wire by Victory Gallop in a nine-horse field. 1997: Silver Charm fails to hold off Touch Gold in the final eighth-mile and finishes second, three-quarters of a length back, in a seven-horse field. 1989: Sunday Silence cant match Easy Goer in the final quarter-mile and finishes second, eight lengths back in a 10-horse field. 1987: Checked sharply on the final turn, Alysheba finishes fourth, 14 lengths behind winner Bet Twice in a 10-horse field. 1981: Pleasant Colony, never better than third, finishes a little more than 112 lengths behind Summing, with Highland Blade second in an 11-horse field. 1979: The 1-5 favorite, Spectacular Bid leads with a quarter-mile left, but weakens to finish third in an eight-horse field, 314 lengths behind Coastal and another head behind Golden Act. - The Associated Press

TIebreaker tonight
Nanticokes victory created a tie for the WVC Division I East championship with Hazleton Area, as both teams finished their league schedule with 13-2 records. The teams will break that tie today at 6 p.m. in a showdown at Coal Street Park in Wilkes-Barre. The teams split the season series, with Nanticoke winning 5-0 on April 4 and Hazleton Area taking a 7-0 decision May 10. Hazleton Area has won its last 13 WVC games since the loss to Nanticoke. The Cougars only other loss during league play came April 2 at Crestwood, a 4-3 Comets victory. Nanticoke, winner of the last three Division I East titles, has won its last four league games. The Trojanettes opened the season with a nine-game winning streak that was snapped April 30 by Berwick, 4-3.
pitching and a stellar defense behind her. The plays in the field by Nanticoke were worthy of a highlight reel. We pride ourselves on our defense, Williams said. Weve been solid. Weve got a lot of 3-4 year starters out there. First baseman Lindsay Roberts fielded a bunt and got a tag on the batter in the first inning. Left fielder Kate Kowalski made a running catch in foul territiory in the second inning. Catcher Katie Wolfe made a lunging catch on a popped-up bunt in the third inning, and two batters later, Schinski snagged a soft liner over her shoulder while running into right field taking away a sure hit. About halfway through the game I knew we had this one, Rubasky said. Were not used to losing. It (the Trojanettes dropped consecutive games to Berwick and Hazleton Area) humbled us a little bit. But were hungry to win the division again. We want to do well in the playoffs. The big plays continued as
foul territory for a pop-up, pulling down a line drive, going deep into the hole for a groundball (twice) and twice turning slow rollers into outs. Sammy Gow is just a phenomenal player, Crestwood coach Bob Bertoni said. She made some incredible plays out there. Lost in Crestwoods second straight tough offensive day was Alyssa Davies impressive performance. The Comets pitcher allowed just four hits and one earned run. How about Alyssa Davies? Bertoni said. She had a 101 fever, pitched sick as a dog today. She was great today against a very good team. Nanticoke 4, Crestwood 0

PGC commissioner nominated Governor Tom Corbett has nominated Brian H. Hoover, of Glenolden, Delaware County, to serve as a member of the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Following confirmation by the Pennsylvania Senate, Hoover will represent the Game Commission boards District 8. Hoover serves as the manager of the Borough of Glenolden and is responsible for the borough governments day-to-day operations. He previously owned and operated South East Archery and Sports, which was one of the leading outdoor sales facilities in the Philadelphia region. Hoover has 27 years of experience as a hunter education instructor. He holds degrees from Penn State University and Delaware County Community College. He is a member of the Delaware County Field and Stream Association, the National Wild Turkey Federation and is a life member of the National Rifle Association. Workshops for educators The Pennsylvania Game Commission announced a series of upcoming professional development opportunities offered as part of the agencys Project WILD program. Classroom teachers, early childhood teachers, informal educators, home-school leaders and Scout and youth group leaders are welcome to participate in these workshops. Workshop offerings range from Pennsylvania Biodiversity, a hands-on conservation education program that examines genetic, species and community diversity to WILD about Waterfowl, a session designed to explore the conservation, management and on-going banding of ducks and geese. New to the summer series is Flying WILD, a hands-on conservation education program that examines bird biology and conservation. We are also offering workshops at two new locations this summer, said Theresa Alberici, who coordinates the programs through the Game Commissions Bureau of Information and Education. Project WILD will be held at the Tuscarora Wildlife Education Project in Mercersburg, Franklin County, and PA Songbirds will be held at Black Rock Retreat in Quarryville, Lancaster County. For a complete list of courses being offered, go to the agencys website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) and click on the 2012 Teacher Workshops icon in the center of the homepage. The listing includes a two-page summary of the courses being offered from June through August in various parts of the state, followed by information on how to register for each of the courses. Project WILD is an awardwinning, international, handson conservation education program. It focuses on wildlife and the environment and how humans interrelate with both. WILD provides educators, primarily kindergarten through 12th grade, with interdisciplinary activities that help address state and national education standards and help educators comply with mandates of the No Child Left Behind Act. WILDs materials are scientifically sound and use educational practices proven to be effective. WILDs mission is to provide wildlife-based conservation education that fosters responsible action. WILDs goal is to develop the awareness, skills, knowledge and commitment that are necessary for people to make informed decisions and act constructively and responsibly toward wildlife and the environment. Educators leave Project WILD workshops with a renewed appreciation of wildlife and are excited about how theyre going to share what theyve learned with their students, Alberici said. This year, wildlife agencies nationwide celebrated one million educators Gone WILD. More than one million educators have been trained in the program since Project WILD originated in 1983. Project WILD isnt about teaching kids what to think about wildlife; its about teaching kids how to think about wildlife and giving them the skills they need to become responsibly active citizens who recognize the importance of wildlife and the environment. The milestone of training one million educators means that, through Project WILD, more than 53 million people worldwide have experience in thinking responsibly about natural resources. Last year alone, state wildlife agencies ordered more than 65,000 guides for distribution to educators across the country, reaching 1.8 million students with information on wildlife conservation. Alberici works closely with Game Commission Southeast Region Wildlife Education Specialist Dan Lynch and Southwest Region Wildlife Education Supervisor Joe Stefko, as well as the Pennsylvania Department of Education and prominent conservation and environmental education organizations throughout the state and the country.

MUNICH (AP) Didier Drogba scored the decisive penalty in the shootout as Chelsea beat Bayern Munich to win the Champions League final after a dramatic1-1draw on Saturday. Drogba sent goalkeeper Manuel Neuer the wrong way in front of massed Bayern fans in their home Allianz Arena. Bayerns Bastian Schweinsteiger missed the previous penalty. The shootout was needed after Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech saved Arjen Robbens spotkick early in extra time. It was awarded for a foul by Chelseas talismanic forward Drogba, whose 88th-minute header earned an unlikely reprieve.

Malkin powers Russia to final

The Pittsburgh Penguins star netted a hat trick against Finland in the semifinals.
HELSINKI Russia and Slovakia will meet in the world hockey championship final Sunday for the first time since the Slovaks won their only title a decade ago against the Russians. After Evgeni Malkin scored a hat trick to lead Russia to a 6-2 rout of host Finland, Slovak forward Miroslav Satan scored twice to help beat the Czech Republic 3-1 in the second semifinal on Saturday. Malkin, the NHL regularseason scoring king for the Pittsburgh Penguins this season, scored twice in the first period against defending champ Finland and completed the hat trick in the second period. The crowd threw red hats on the ice to celebrate the three goals. I have never experienced such things, Malkin said. It was fantastic to see. Satan scored his first goal at 15:52 in the first period. He broke away when Slovakia was a man short, earning his second goal at 0:56 in the third period. Forward Jiri Hudacek added another at 4:56. Michael Frolik scored for the Czechs at 10:45, tying the game at 1-1. Finland opened the scoring when defender Janne Niskalas deflected a blue line shot at 7:28, but Malkin evened the
score at 15:33 shooting through a crowd, and he connected from the slot at 19:06 on a power play. Aleksander Ovechkin made it 3-1, and Malkins hard slapshot found the far corner at 17:46 in the second period In the third period, Denis Kokarev, and Sergei Shirokov increased the lead to 6-1. Mikael Granlund scored Finlands second goal with four minutes left. Before Malkins third goal, he lost his balance and
smashed into the board charged by Finnish defender Joonas Jarvinen. The Finn went out for tripping, but Malkin went down after slipping. The Russian star disappeared for treatment, but came back after some six minutes, losing four or five shifts in the process. I was lucky, I was going at high speed and could not evade the contact, Malkin said. But our doctor gave my hand some freezing treatment, and I could continue.

Official says black marks shouldnt be of great concern to anglers
TOM VENESKY
OUTDOORS
Lights, camera and an action thats repulsive

heyve gone too far. Hunting videos and television shows in general have become more about the kill and less about teaching techniques or simply just sharing an appreciation for the hunt itself. Some have gotten to the point where they are just idiotic. A video clip that was emailed to me this week is a perfect example. It was filmed a group that call themselves the Turkey Reapers. The name alone should give you a good idea of what their priority is. In the video, an individual crawls through a field toward a gobbler holding a fanned turkey tail in one hand and a shotgun in the other. The gobbler sees the fanned tail, considers it a threat and charges. When the bird is a few feet away, the individual drops the tail, raises his shotgun and blasts the bird. He then stands over the gobbler and raises his arms in victory. Nice touch. Apparently the turkey tail stalk is catching on as a gobbler hunting technique in other states. The reality is its not a hunting technique at all. Its unethical and dangerous. Gobblers are meant to be called in, not stalked. Its illegal to stalk gobblers during the spring season in Pennsylvania. Theres no fair chase involved with the technique, and even worse, its extremely dangerous. I asked a local Wildlife Conservation Officer what he thought about the video. His response echoed my sentiments. Its a complete and total disregard for safety. Someones going to get shot, he said. Its over the edge. And thats the problem with many of todays hunting videos and shows. They push the limit and then some. Theres a sure-fire way to tell if a video or show is truly about the hunt or all about the slaughter. If they make it a point to advertise how many kills are in each episode, then its the latter. I dont watch many hunting shows, but those that I have seen didnt appeal to me. With flashy graphics rock music blaring in the background to provide an extra touch of action and adrenaline, every one Ive seen has the same plot: a hunter shoots a big buck, the kill is replayed in slow motion, and the show concludes with a few minutes of bragging. Videos and shows such as these are hurting the sport that true, ethical hunters appreciate. And while there are plenty examples of the bad ones out there, some are actually pretty good. All Outdoors with Alan Probst produces some excellent trapping videos that demonstrate techniques and are truly educational. Videos such as these help viewers become better hunters and trappers. Theres a purpose behind them. But apparently the trend today is to highlight the kills and nevermind the technique or the simple appreciation of the hunt. The kills are where the money is, and thats what has driven some well-known hunters to break the law while filming their videos. A true hunting video doesnt need flashy graphics and loud background music to make it exciting. And they dont encourage people to crawl through a field during gobbler season with a tail in front of their face. And, most important, they dont preach that hunting is only about killing. Its not, and to portray it that way is doing a disservice to those who hunt, fish and trap safely and ethically.

PENNSYLVANIA FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION
The black spots on this smallmouth bass are the result of a condition called hyperpigmented melanosis. It occurs through an accumulation of melanin-producing cells in the upper two layers of the skin.
Spotting an odd condition on bass

By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com
Blotchy bass condition in Pa.

PFBC biologists have documented the blotchy bass condition previously in Pennsylvania in the Susquehanna River (2011, 2006); Cowanesque Lake, Tioga County (2003); the Allegheny River (1999); and in the 1980s in Conneaut Lake (Crawford County), Presque Isle Bay (Erie County), Raystown Lake and several other waters. It also was observed in New Yorks Hudson River during the 1980s, which resulted in a N.Y. fisheries biologist surveying other states about the condition. The survey showed that the condition was present in largemouth and smallmouth bass in 12 states in the East, South and along the Gulf Coast.
Joe Lesko was surprised at the appearance of the smallmouth bass he had just reeled in from the Susquehanna River. The Tunkhannock resident was fishing the river near Meshoppen in late April, and the bass he caught was mottled with black spots on the tail and a smaller one on its lip. I fish the river quite a bit and I hadnt seen anything like it before, Lesko said. It was a concern. The condition has been documented on smallmouth bass in the lower portion of the river, but has been seen elsewhere across the state, according to Geoff Smith, a Susquehanna River biologist with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. The PFBC started hearing from anglers late last year concerning the black spots, whicharemostoftenfoundonthehead,lips,tailorfins. It appears to affect only fish larger than12 inches and typically occurs in a localized area and not uniformly in a lake or throughout a river system. Some bass have had one or two spots while others have had a dozen or more, according to the PFBC. Smith said the black spots shouldnt be of great concern because its unlikely to be fatal to the fish and the markings may be temporary. Still, the condition has raised questions. No ones quite sure whats causing it, Smith said. Its more widespread than areas of the river and its been documented dating back to the 1980s. Theyve seen it from Maine to Florida and west to the Rockies. While the cause may be unknown, Smith does have a good idea what the black spots are and arent. Fish have been sent to a lab for analysis to determine if the black spots are a cancerous melanoma. Smith said thats highly unlikely. Instead, the spots are the result of a condition called hyperpigmented melanosis, which Smith said is the accumulation of melanin-producing cells in the upper

two layers of the skin. It typically occurs during coldwater periods, such as the spring, and appears to be a relatively natural condition, Smith added. Were not sure if its a viral infection or genetic, Smith said. All of the fish we handled with the black spots have been healthy and actively feeding, and all the studies in the past havent been able to definitively link it to water quality. Bass with black spots are safe to eat, Smith said, because are limited to the first two layers of skin and dont go into the tissue. Still, plenty of questions remain. We know more work is needed and were looking at it, as well as departments in other states. We dont know if its occurring more or just being observed more, Smith said. Its hard to say if well be able to find a cause. Black spots are just one concern that anglers have regarding smallmouth bass in the Susquehanna River. Bacterial infections and poor recruitment of young bass, particular in the middle and lower stretches of the
will host an Invasive Plants and Pests Workshop on Saturday, June 2, at the Musto EE Center in Nescopeck State Park. The workshop runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and costs $15. The workshop will help homeowners and forest landowners identify invasive plants and insects and develop strategies for controlling and removing them from their property. Participants will learn if mechanical removal will work or if herbicidal applications are required to control the invasives. A short field trip will illustrate how the park and its community partners are working to control invasives at Nescopeck State Park. The registration fee includes informational resources and lunch. Please dress for weather and plan to be outside for part of the workshop. For more information contact Nescopeck State Park at 403-2006 or the Luzerne County Cooperative Extension at 825-1701. COLUMBIA COUNTY BASSMASTERS, in partnership with the Columbia County Commissioners, Borough of Berwick and Columbia-Montour Visitors Bureau, is hosting its third annual Bassmasters Fishing Tournament at the Berwick Test Track Park Boat Launch the weekend of June 23-24.There will be cash prizes in the amount of $12,500 for the tournament, with the first place team winning $5,000; and paying 10 places.

river, have some worried that the future of the fishery may be in peril. On the positive side, bass in the north branch of the river havent experienced the same problems as those down below. Smith said the north branch has always been the least-affected area when it comes to bass diseases and recruitment. We dont know why, he said. Ive spoken with officials in New York and theyre seeing the same thing up there its not impacted as much. Smith did say the north branch of the river behaves differently than other stretches, particularly with bass recruitment. Low water periods in May, June and July result in better recruitment of young bass into the population, he said. High water events result in poor recruitment. With the north branch, those conditions havent impacted bass reproduction as it has in other stretches, Smith said. It hasnt been as severe on the north branch and we dont know why, he said. Still, there is hope that the smallmouth bass fishery may be able to withstand the problems it currently faces throughout the river. Smallmouth bass populations can withstand a few years of poor recruitment and a single exceptional year class can drive the population for quite some time, according to Smith. All it could take is a couple of successful spawning nests to populate a particular stretch of river. Were optimistic, Smith said. We just need to get those young fish to survive through their first summer. Thats good news for anglers such as Lesko, who fishes the river frequently. I enjoy fishing the river for smallmouths and would hate to see them disappear, he said. I dont see a decrease in the population in this area and I just hope the black spot condition isnt widespread.

JOB MARKET
How to find a good job that suits your needs

ITS THE TIME of year when spirited young women and men graduate from the joyous, beer-soaked, afternoon-nappingallowed world of college and enter the soul-crushing, coffee-soaked, afternoonnapping-frowned-upon world of work. I kid, of course graduates, youll love the real world! (No, you wont. ... Return to school immediately. ... I havent had fun in 20 years. PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU!!) As most of you know, the first postgraduation step is to get the throw-up off the shoes you rented for your graduation ceremony. The next is to get a job, which is unfortunate because there arent quite as many of those as there used to be. I consulted with job search experts and business owners to come up with some pragmatic tips for young job seekers not the add some zazz to your resume! or make sure to wear a power tie type of advice. Concrete, sensible stuff that fits the modern business world. Tom Walter is head of a company called Tasty Catering and co-author of the coming book Its My Company Too! He said the vast majority of companies that are hiring are smaller ones with fewer than 500 employees. Yet many college graduates are still being taught job search and interview approaches tailored for large, monolithic corporations. Smaller businesses, Walter said, tend to look for employees they believe will fit into the companys culture theyre hiring for attitude. If youre looking for a job, you dont want to just take something that comes along, he said. You need to find a place that matches your core values. Thats a place where youll be recognized, and thats a place where youll have a better chance of getting hired. This requires research. Simply applying for every job you hear about isnt going to get it done. You need to take some time, reflect on what inspires you, talk to people in the field about what they do and then start finding companies that match your desires. What they should do is investigate the company and deeply dive into it and figure out if their personal skills and values line up, Walter said. Ask about the culture, ask about core values, ask about how they measure your performance. We had this young man come in here once for an interview, and he knew about our culture and he said what was important to him was that he be respected from the day he starts working. That was clearly a differentiator. That stood out. The young man got the job. So the lesson here is that before you find work, youve got to do work. And if it goes right, youll wind up in a job thats a good fit, which is a rare feat for a person just out of college. Given the competitive nature of the job market, you might have to settle for part-time opportunities or contract work at first. But remember, anything you do, whether its paid or volunteer, provides critical experience and opens more networking doors. Once you land an interview with a target company, be prepared to ask questions that show you care not just about the job but also about the companys character. If you come in just like every other person and talk the applicant talk, the stuff many 45-year-old people are telling college students to do, thats not going to work, Walter said. You need to ask questions like: What are your core values and what does your company stand for? How do you make your culture work? As an employee, what would your organization judge me on most? Dont ask questions like this just to suck up to the interviewer. You should be asking them earnestly, because if your beliefs and desires line up with the companys, youll be a far better and happier worker. Fresh out of college, this is the right time to figure out what you need to feel fulfilled at work. It gets harder to do that later in life.

The wind turbine owned by Bryan Davis stands on the hilltop in Derby Line, Vt.
Ill winds blow over the border

By WILSON RING Associated Press
STANSTEAD, Quebec The winds blowing through Canadas broad St. Lawrence Valley and across Vermonts hilltops are stirring up an international tempest over which countrys laws should govern how those breezes are harnessed for electricity. Some residents of the Quebec town of Stanstead are upset about plansinVermonttoerectjustsouth of the border two industrial-size wind turbines one of which would be about 1,000 feet from a few Canadian and Vermonthomes. Quebec requires wind turbines tobeatleast1,640feetfromhomes, and the Canadian homeowners are demanding those rules be followed. But in Vermont, the allowable distance is determined by the sound of the spinning blades, and the projects developer says the turbines would meet those requirements. The plan has yet to win approval from Vermont regulators. But the dispute has gotten so rancorous that the mayor of Stanstead threatened to cut off water to some homes on the American side. The issue has even come up on the floor of Canadas Parliament. You know, there really is no precedent to follow here, said Chad Farrell of Encore Redevelopment, the Burlington, Vt., company working with two dairy farmers to build the 425-foot windmills, each of which would be capable of producing enough electricity for about 900 homes. Stansteads Lynda Hartley lives on a horse farm about 3,700 feet from the turbine site, well beyond the Quebec setback distance, but is leading the opposition in the community. She said her 8-year-old autistic son is hypersensitive to noise. This is going to be stopped, she said. I am not going to allow this to happen. This is crazy. The Vermont farmers are counting on the money they would be paid for hosting the towers as a steady source of income in an era of up-and-down milk prices. Oneofthem,BryanDavis,saidhis neighbors in Derby Line who live

Q: My manager has an annoying habit of talking non-stop about her family. She goes into great detail about her daughters clothes, her sons sports activities, or her mothers latest trip. Although I try to listen courteously, I have absolutely no interest in their activities. I obviously dont want to alienate my boss or hurt her feelings, but this is really getting on my nerves. What should I do? A: Most people who get trapped by compulsive talkers are simply being too polite. Because they see no way to escape without being rude, they suffer in silence while the speaker drones on and on. Sadly, this only serves to reward the very behavior they would like to discourage. To extract yourself from your managers monologues, you must find a way to disengage without being offensive. Fortunately, at work, the need to be productive always provides a valid excuse. For example, if your boss is extolling her sons soccer prowess, just wait for an appropriate moment, then say, Thats impressive. Ryan must be quite an athlete. Well, I suppose Id better start making those customer calls. On occasions when you find yourself cornered in her office, the gradual exit maneuver may come in handy. Start by sitting up straight and leaning forward in your chair. Then, while you continue chatting, slowly stand up and begin working your way toward the door. By the time you have one hand on the doorknob, the conversation should be winding down. Another trick is to take control of the discussion by telling a story of your own. When you fin-
ish this anecdote, quickly excuse yourself and return to work. Ending a conversation is much easier if youre the one doing the talking. Of course, these strategies only work if they are executed with a friendly attitude and a smile. But if you can pull it off, you may be able to shorten the family saga without insulting your boss.
Q: I work in the marketing department of a community bank. My new manager was given the title of marketing director, even though her entire background is in accounting. She seems to realize that she has a lot to learn, but I still have trouble communicating with her. Having worked in marketing for many years, Im not sure how to relate to a manager who has no professional qualifications. A: Being more experienced than your boss puts you in the tough position of having to lead and follow at the same time. To manage this balancing act, try to view this as a partnership in which the two of you share the goal of helping the bank succeed. You contribute your marketing know-how, while your boss contributes managerial skills and the greater influence of her position. If your manager is reasonably mature, she will value your expertise and use it strategically. And if you are reasonably mature, you will be careful not to flaunt your knowledge or embarrass her in front of others. Remember that making your boss look good is usually a wise career move.

I started making them and then we started calling drum shops all over the country and theyre like, Oh yeah, we heard of you. I was like, how did you hear of me? And it was just from that one thing, Longo said. That one thing was news of Colaiutas use of Longos drum spreadingbywordofmouthinthe music world. Longo enlisted the help of his sons,Matt,DaveandJames,inmarketingandsellingthedrumsaswell as helping him in the workshop. He also made his own tools for crafting the drums, from a steamer consisting of a hot water tank, heating element, piping and box to hold the wood he bends into a circular shape, to a clamp device that holds the drum shell together once it has been shaped and glue has been applied. Dozens of the solid-shell drums fill a room and office in his house and dozens more drum shells fill his garage/workshop. Pushpins in a map on the work-
shop wall indicate the states and countries in which he has sold his drums. We have shops in Germany and Japan, we sold drums in Israel, Sweden, Switzerland, Longo said. Longo has an album full of photos of famous drummers hes met at the National Association of Musical Merchants trade shows hes attended in Anaheim, Calif. Many of them use his drums. Sean Paddock, hes Kenny Chesneys drummer, he has a couple of my drums; Russ McKinnon, hes Barry Manilows drummer; WillDentoniswithLeAnnRimes; Todd Sucherman is with Styx; all of the big-name guys, they want that sound because its really sensitive, like a light touch, you can hear everything, Longo said. Longos drums made from domestic woods such as walnut, maple and cherry, sell for about $900; theexoticcustomdrumsaremore expensive, with those made of bubinga costing about $3,000. He recently began making lower-end plywood drums to satisfy a store in New Hampshire; they sell for about $500. But its the quality of the wood and the work he puts into each drum that sets Longo apart from other custom crafters, he said. It seems like (almost) all of the custom guys, they buy drum would be. In front of her house is a sign in French that translates as health and quality of life, with an image of a turbine inside a circle with a slash through it. There is not going to be any quality of life with the sound of this, Fauteux said. She added: They dont consider the closeness of our house. In the United States theres no law about how closeyoucanputone,butinCanada there is. The farming villages of Stanstead, population 3,000, and its American twin, Derby Line, a section of the broader town of Derby, which has about 4,600 people, are practically one community, even though many people in Stanstead
shells and buy hardware and they just assemble the drum. I make it from cutting the tree down to taking it to the saw mill to planing it down and doing all of that. Then I steam-bend the shells and glue them by hand. All the machinery I use is hand-made, he said. Longo said drum makers say thereisnosecrettomakingagood drum. I have one, but its kind of not evenasecret.Itslike,youputyour heart and soul into it. Its no matter what you do your mind, heart, soul, your gut feeling and your brain. Ive worked with wood my whole life and I play drums, so I know what wood will do and I know what drummers want to hear, he said. Longo worked construction for hisfather,Michael,formanyyears before going into music and drum making full-time. His father and mother, Genie, supported his musical interests since he started taking lessons at age 11. Longo said people have asked him why he and his wife, Lucia, dont move to a nicer locale, given his growing success. Why should I move somewhere else? Im selling drums all over the world from here. Why would I want to move? Why torture yourself? Unless taxes go up through the roof, he said with a laugh. speak French as their first language and the international boundary cuts through yards and even houses. It was only after security was tightened following 9/11 that residents had to start reporting at border stations before visiting friends or relatives on the other side. Supporters say the turbines would produce green energy, create jobs during construction and provide income to the farmers. Opponents say wind power harms the environment, wouldnt be practical without huge government subsidies, and is an eyesore. The giant spinning blades in Derby Line would be visible for miles on both sides of the border.

GOLD AND THE BEAR Gold investors growled when its price thudded to $1,536.60 per ounce at Wednesdays close. Thats 19 percent below its record closing level of $1,891.90 reached on Aug. 22. When an investment drops 20 percent in price, traders say that it has graduated from a mere correction into a fullblown bear market. The main culprit has been a strengthening dollar, says Jon Nadler, senior metals analyst at Kitco Metals. Gold prices tend to go in the opposite direction of the dollars value, and the dollar has been rising as investors search for safer currencies.

OUT IN THE COLD Most companies offered investors pleasant surprises this past earnings season: More than two out of three companies in the S&P 500 reported stronger profits than financial analysts expected. But utilities were the exception. It was the only industry where less than half of the companies beat expectations. A warm winter meant that fewer customers were using heaters, which reduced demand. Consider Duke Energy, which earned 22 cents per share last quarter. Warmer temperatures knocked 4 cents per share off its earnings.

FEAR FACTOR Mutual fund investors continued to adopt a cautious approach to U.S. stocks in April, but they werent so riskaverse when it came to foreign stocks. Industry consultant Strategic Insight reports that a net $5.7 billion was withdrawn from U.S. stock funds. But funds investing in foreign stocks attracted $10.4 billion in new cash. International stock funds also attracted cash in each of the first three months of this year. That came as investors became less worried that the European debt crisis might spin out of control. But new fears emerged after voters in France and Greece backed parties that want to roll back or slow down spending cuts.

On China:
I think that the market is going to recover in China. I think by the end of the year, we will see sort of a recovery take place. But the first quarter was very weak.
Mortgage rates hit record low, again

Another week, another record low for mortgage rates. The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 3.79 percent last week from 3.83 percent. Its the third week in a row that the rate has hit a record. A year ago, the average rate was 4.61 percent. Mortgage rates tend to follow Treasury yields, and the yield on the 10-year note neared its own all-time low last week.

Who he is: Head of portfolio portfolio manager at Jensen Investment Management His track record: Jensen Quality Growth fund (JENSX) has Morningstars top gold rating What he suggests: Keep focus on companies long-term performance
Earnings season, the roughly four-week stretch each quarter in which many companies report their results for the previous quarter, is only partly about the bottom line. During a conference call with financial analysts and journalists, top executives also talk broadly about their businesses. Comments gleaned over the last few weeks, for example, show that slowing economies in China and Europe are denting sales. But one big question remains unanswered, says Goldman Sachs strategist David Kostin: Whether companies can maintain their profit margins. Executives are split on whether they can keep raising prices.

Robert McIver wont consider buying a stock for the Jensen Quality Growth fund unless its been profitable for a long time: 10 straight years. Not only that, it must have had a return on equity, or ROE, of at least 15 percent each of those years. ROE measures how profitable a company is relative to its shareholders investment, and the S&P 500s ROE dipped to 8 percent during 2009. The logic: Companies that have been strongly profitable a long time tends to stay so. McIvers firm also launched a mutual fund focused on value stocks in 2010, the Jensen Quality Value fund (JNVSX). Even companies with a long history of profits are dropping now on worries about Europes debt crisis. It can be really frustrating. Last year, in the quality growth strategy, the return from the fund was slightly negative. Yet, to our mind, theres a real disconnect between the stock price and the very solid business performance that quality growth companies had. On average, they increased their earnings by 11 percent last year. They increased their dividends, on average, by 18 percent. The companies are operating at a very profitable level, with strong balance sheets, huge cash flow, and they dominate their markets. Profit margins are at nearly record levels. Arent you worried that they will fall sharply? For the market, I believe thats the case. For our companies, because of the fundamental strengths they have, they have been able to demonstrate in good times and bad the ability to keep their margins high. Theyre not immune from short-term pressures, particularly with oil prices in recent years, but the companies are able to by and large pass those pricing pressures onto their customers, albeit theres a bit of a lag. Over the longer term, were not concerned with margins. Whats the downside of having such a long timeframe when looking for stocks? We recognize on the downside that there are some younger companies that dont have the track record, that we miss the opportunity, like Apple (which had an ROE below 15 percent early last decade). But on the other hand, weve also missed some real horrors of companies that blow up for some reason or another. The secret to success over the longer term is to make money in the good times but not blow up in the bad times. Microsoft is in both your growth and value funds. Microsofts ROE at the end of last year was 44 percent: Its staggeringly profitable. The use of cash flow is what we like to see, in terms of dividends, share buybacks, growing organically and buying other companies. Its a fantastically strong company. It gets dinged because people compare and contrast it with a company like Google or Apple. Its a fair comparison, but it doesnt detract from the fundamental strengths of Microsofts core competencies.

European stocks with greenback support

Europes debt problems have pummeled the continents economies, stock markets and currency. But some European stocks are better shielded than others from the crisis. EADS, for example, trades on the French exchange, but it gets 75 percent of its revenue in the form of dollars, not euros. Thats because its the company behind the Airbus airplane. American Airlines ordered 260 Airbus jets last year. As the dollar climbs against the euro, the sales that Airbus makes in dollars become worth that much

more in euros after theyre translated. One dollar is worth about 0.79 euro, up from 0.70 a year ago. Better yet: Only 28 percent of EADS expenses are in dollars, according to Credit Suisse. That means that the benefit of the falling euro on EADS revenue outweighs the increase in costs caused by the change in currency values. This screen from Credit Suisse shows European companies that get much of their revenue in dollars but have limited costs in the U.S. currency.

KATHLEEN PARKER
Only one party has messed up nations politics

AND ANOTHER one bites the dust. But Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar did not go quietly. After this months defeat in the Republican primary, the veteran legislator issued a remarkable statement warning of the dangers of continued partisanship. Lugar, a conservative who embraces the Republican principles of small government, low taxes, a strong national defense, free enterprise, and trade expansion, was nevertheless targeted for defeat by conservatives who felt he had strayed from ideological orthodoxy. This, because he compromised with the other party on a few matters the auto industry bailout, TARP, the confirmation of two Supreme Court justices that were, he thought, the right votes for the country. Partisans at both ends of the political spectrum, said Lugar, are dominating the political debate in our country They have worked to make it as difficult as possible for a legislator of either party to hold independent views or engage in constructive compromise. If that attitude prevails in American politics, our government will remain mired in the dysfunction we have witnessed during the last several years. The senator is in the ballpark. But he misstates the problem in two ways. In the first place, the issue is not partisanship, but hyper-partisanship, a mindset that prioritizes party above country. In the second place, Lugars sop to moral equivalence notwithstanding, this is not a problem caused by partisans at both ends of the political spectrum. It was not Democrats who held the economy hostage in a manufactured debt ceiling crisis that caused the nations credit rating to be lowered for the first time in history. It was not Democrats who voted down their own deficit reduction resolution, apparently because they didnt want the president to share credit. It was not a Democratic leader who declared defeating the president his top legislative priority. No, it was Republicans who did all that. And it is not Democrats who have seen a steady trickle of condemnation and defection by their own appalled members. That trickle includes Nathan Fletcher, a San Diego mayoral candidate who left the GOP because, I dont believe we have to treat people we disagree with as an enemy. And former Sen. Chuck Hagel, who said he was disgusted by the irresponsible actions of the GOP during the debt ceiling crisis. And congressional staffer Mike Lofgren, who likened his party to an apocalyptic cult. And former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who said too many in the GOP regard it as an exclusive club where your ideological card is checked at the door. In their new book, Its Even Worse Than It Looks, Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein argue that the GOP has become an insurgent outlier ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition. It is, they note, awkward for mainstream news media to report this because it might be seen as violating their ethos of non-bias or interpreted as blindness to the sins of Democrats. But it needs reporting, regardless. One cannot fix a problem one will not face. And the new cultishness of the Republican Party is certainly a problem. It should concern anyone who thinks democracy is best served when political parties offer coherent alternatives and hash them out in the marketplace of ideas something the GOP no longer does. Or, as Lugars opponent, Richard Mourdock, said in response to Lugars statement: I have a mindset that says bipartisanship ought to consist of Democrats coming to the Republican point of view.

Likabilitys the buzz word in campaign

A PRESIDENTIAL race recently focused on high school has come to resemble a popularity contest of the same vintage. Hence, we read that women like Barack best (except when they dont). Last week, a New York Times/CBS News poll shows women tilting toward Mitt and voters overall favoring him by 46 percent to 43 percent. But you know how girls are. A month ago, according to a CNN/ORC poll, women loved Obama 55 percent to 39 percent. Next week, check your Eight Ball. The concept of likability isnt new, but this election provides fresh criteria. The old standard of judging candidates by which one youd rather join for a beer doesnt apply because Mormons dont drink. No beer summits in a Romney administration. You cant even figure with whom youd rather share a cup of coffee. So we focus instead on which guy we like based on instincts that were honed in you got it high school. Almost daily, we hear that Romney isnt (or wasnt always) such a sweet guy. Most recent to the roster of his offenses is an event nearly 50 years ago when he and his prep school classmates tackled a longhaired boy (who later identified himself as gay) and lopped his locks. This report followed by a single day the presidents declaration of support for same-sex marriage. The comparison was grim for Romney, even if his bad behavior occurred five decades ago and despite his having no apparent animus toward the gay community. Under no fair debate can support for traditional marriage necessarily be construed as bigotry toward gays. The fact that Romney claims not to remember the hair-cutting incident is a curiosity to many, but not all. These differences of opinion will continue mostly as a Rorschach based on ones own experiences as a high school student. For now, we leave such discussions to our inner voices in order to save a little space for the point of this column, which is that the Obama campaign seems dedicated to advancing the notion that Obama is the nicer guy and therefore should be re-elected. Polling supports this premise for now with Obama twice as likable as Romney. The question is whether likability is enough when polling also shows that four in 10 voters think Obamas policies will make their financial situations worse if he is re-elected. A case can be made that a campaign that focuses on likability is a campaign that doesnt want to run on its record. A case also can be made that voters can be swayed by feel-good fare given the complexity of our problems. Thus, Obama has taken pains to demonstrate just how wonderful he really is one demographic at a time. Here he is surrounded by adoring Barnard College graduates following a pro-woman commencement address, while a campaign ad asserts that Romney has thrown women under the bus. (See Republican War on Women.) Who you gonna like? The juxtaposition is reminiscent of Obama standing before a delirious mob in Berlin (Germany) while John McCain held forth before a half-dozen admirers at Schmidts Restaurant und Sausage Haus in German Village in Columbus, Ohio. In politics, its all about optics. Heres Obama on the cover of Newsweek being promoted as the first gay president. This might help him with his base, but polls show that the broader voting audience isnt strongly swayed one way or the other. Twothirds (67 percent) of those polled said Obamas support for same-sex marriage was politically motivated, while 57 percent said it would have no effect on their vote. Finally, heres an Obama ad characterizing Romney as a vampire who, while head of Bain Capital, sometimes profited from failed businesses that also sometimes resulted in job losses. This is otherwise known as

President Barack Obamas birth certificate be far behind? In a campaign year when voters have declared the economy their top concern, Obama and Mitt Romney are on notice that theres no statute of limitations on the issues or conduct that might be used against them. And theres sure to be somebody with money or other means to insert even low-threshold matters into the political dialogue.
Its open season, says Eric Dezenhall, an expert on crisis management. This is going to be very rough. Thursdays disclosure that a Republican-leaning super PAC was considering a $10 million ad campaign highlighting Obamas past links to inflammatory preacher Jeremiah Wright was just the latest evidence that if there ever were limits on what was fair game in a campaign, theyre largely history. Thats thanks to a flood of new money into politics, the ease of spreading political attacks via the Internet and changing attitudes about whats an appropriate topic for discussion. Long gone are the days when candidates extramarital escapades were off-limits, photographers avoided taking pictures of Franklin D. Roosevelt in a wheelchair and a few newspapers and TV stations acted as gatekeepers. The New York Times quoted backers of this years Wright ad proposal as aiming to do exactly what John McCain would not let us do in the 2008 campaign. Romney repudiated the Wright plan, as did the super PAC financier weighing it. Nonetheless, Obamas campaign accused Romney of refusing to stand up to the most extreme voices in the Republican Party and the presidents supporters were happy to associate Romney with what campaign strategist David Axelrod called the purveyors of slime.

nee, spoke out forcefully during the campaign four years ago against efforts to use Wrights provocative speeches against Obama, and the issue largely subsided. But since then, a series of court cases has cleared the way for an onslaught of campaign ads from outside groups seeking to influence elections. Such so-called super PACs can be a megaphone for matters that would have gotten less attention in the past, and still allow candidates to deny theyre involved. But outside messengers who do the dirty work in campaigns are nothing new in presidential politics. Democrat Michael Dukakis in 1988 was the target of an infamous outside ad about a furloughed rapist named Willie Horton. Democrat John Kerry in 2004 saw his record as a Vietnam War hero mischaracterized and used against him by the outside group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
Political historian Evan Cornog, author of The Power and the Story, said the staying power of a particular issue or charge usually depends on whether it jibes with the publics understanding of a candidate. We are addicted to narratives, and if something fits with the story, its going to get some traction, says Cornog. A good political operative will have a fairly good sense of what will work and what will not work. Both sides are experiencing this in real time: Questions about Romneys bad behavior toward classmates during his high school years, revealed in a recent Washington Post article, are being used to reinforce the profile that Romneys critics have tried to create of the GOP candidate as a corporate bully. The Democratic National Committee circulated the Post

article and highlighted just one sentence about Romneys behavior: It was vicious. Questions about Obamas ties to his former preachers incendiary rhetoric about America and about whether the president was truly born in Hawaii and is a Christian fit with broader efforts to paint Obama as radically different from most Americans. Romney earlier this year told an interviewer, Im not sure which is worse, him listening to Reverend Wright or him saying that we must be a less Christian nation. That was a reference to remarks in which Obama actually did not promote a less Christian nation but observed growing religious diversity in the U.S. When something nicely fits with the profile that one side or the other is trying to build, it may endure long after a question has been duly asked and answered. Questions about the validity of Obamas Hawaii birth certifi-
cate, for example, have been widely discredited, but they keep popping up. Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Rick Perry both toyed with it during the presidential primaries. A poll last May, after Obama had released his detailed Hawaii birth certificate, found that a third of Americans still thought he might have been born elsewhere or said they didnt know. Cornog points to plenty of positive aspects to the free-wheeling exchange of ideas and information allowed by a broad variety of news sources and the Internet but also has a warning: If you enter an age in which you have elective belief systems independent of fact, you have a problem for your political world.

capitalism, but never mind. For likability, see auto bailout. This last example is at least of a more substantive nature, suggesting a real debate about different approaches to the marketplace. But whats clear for now is that Obama is hoping he can hold on to the affections of a coalition of admirers who will overlook his flaws simply because they like him. The larger truth of Romneys adult life, including far more business successes than failures not to mention a rsum of service to others could tilt the likability meter in time, though one hopes for deeper soul-searching. Likability, like popularity contests, is so high school.

same as pursuing fame. Dont confuse the two; neither the rewards, nor the results, are going to be the same. As soon as your monthly income exceeds your monthly expenses for necessities such as groceries, follow this progression: Buy first-rate insurance (auto and property) then build an ample rainy day fund then begin to invest. A new Porsche 911 Carrera S is not a necessity. For that matter, if you plan on driving it every day, its not an investment. Dont fear love. Dont chase love. Just give it. Being a good citizen means more than voting; it means staying engaged in current events (global and local), speaking up, volunteering and voting. Be a good citizen. Exercise. Dont put much stock in conventional wisdom; for example, this week, dont put much stock in Facebook. There are many ways to measure ones wealth; calculating your net worth is probably the least revealing of them. When faced with an ethical dilemma, choose the option that you wont regret if the whole world reads about it later on Wikipedia.

Nursing mother just what the hype doctor ordered

WHEN I first saw the new Time magazine cover of a nearly 4-year-old boy nursing on his mothers exposed breast, I must admit it made me nostalgic. For a time when they wrapped magazines in brown paper. Im no mothering expert, but I do believe, as a general rule, that if you are standing up and wearing long pants, your breast-feeding days are over. But what do I know? Using the headline Are You Mom Enough? Time has gotten tons of attention for its cover shot of 26-yearold Jamie Lynne Grumet yanking down one side of her tank top for her son Aram, who breast-feeds while standing on a stool and wearing Im not kidding here sneakers and camouflage pants. Grumet is a devotee of attachment parenting the subject of the cover story and, I admit, she and her boy do look attached. Very attached. Although I wonder how hungry that poor kid must have been. Ive been to photo shoots. They can take hours. Then again, why would the boy want to move? In their famous 2000 Year Old Man routines, Mel Brooks tells Carl Reiner that the key to his long life was doing things slowly: I breast-fed for 200 years. He quickly adds, I look back at that as the happiest part of my life. But Brooks was making a comedy album. Time is trying to make a statement. Well, I take that back.

Laura Ricketts The prominent lesbian activist and volunteer fundraiser for President Obama again this week noted the stark philosophical contrast with her father, J.

limit. Turnpike officials dont need to do a study to find out if this change would be conducive to safety. They need only look at the experience of neighboring Ohio. As the Post-Gazette reported, the Ohio Turnpike raised its speed limit from 65 to 70 mph in April 2001 and experienced a 5.6 increase in crashes and a 17 percent rise in injuries through March this year. Although fatalities did not increase, they have risen in other states after speed limits went up. The old adage that speed kills has not changed, and driving faster is not only more dangerous, but also reduces fuel economy. Werent we all just complaining about the price of gasoline? HB 2119 recently passed the House Transportation Committee by a bipartisan 18-4 vote, but the full House needs to pull this one over. As for Preston, his long drives will soon end because voters in his district pulled him over in the primary.

IKE OTHER legislators from Western Pennsylvania, state Rep. Joe Preston, a Democrat from East Liberty, spends a great deal of time driving the Pennsylvania Turnpike 30 times a year by his reckoning. But the road to Harrisburg leaves plenty of time for thinking, and a lawmaker with time to spare can dream up trouble for the rest of us. Prestons invitation to trouble comes in House Bill 2119, which would allow the turnpike commission to raise the maximum speed on the highway from 65 mph to 70 mph. The Legislature cannot order such a change, merely permit the turnpike to raise the speed limit if it so chooses and this decision could not be made without a study to see if it safely can be done. The trouble with raising the speed limit to 70 mph is that, for most drivers, it immediately becomes more than 75 mph. They know that the state police cannot give tickets unless a driver is 6 mph or more over the posted

Winner of 29 Emmys, the popular game show will receive its first Peabody Award for encouraging, celebrating and rewarding knowledge at the 71st annual George Foster Peabody Awards ceremony Monday afternoon at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Businessman, philanthropist and social activist George F. Peabody worked to promote education and humanitarian causes. Though he held no high government position, refusing several invitations, Peabody was active in national politics and a close confidant to many public officials, including presidents Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt. It was Peabody who invited Roosevelt to his estate in Warm Springs, Ga., after FDR had been diagnosed with polio. Roosevelt subsequently purchased the warm springs property for his own use and the rehabilitation of others. It was a time when people of substance got things done.

No color, no excitement, no individual expression. Picture parades without marching bands, no background music on television and in movies, no theme songs with which to hum along. How about quiet sporting events? No iPods, no radio stations, no catchy tunes to let you know you have a cellphone call. Picture quiet graduation ceremonies, weddings, birthdays, even amusement parks. Now think of our children or grandchildren with no school plays, programs or concerts in which to perform. Picture a world in which there is no outlet for children to be able to express themselves and live well-rounded lives. Every night on the news and every day in the newspaper we see another school district cutting art and music programs, or choosing not to replace retiring art and music teachers, which is a future death for those programs. We know the number of art and music teachers in any given district is a very small percentage of the full faculty, but this is what we cut? We also know that things are tough; people understand that, but if anyone thinks their taxes will not be raised because of these cuts, they are fooling themselves. Taxes will forever be raised to the max whether we can afford it or not, but the students will pay the biggest price of all. These are our children, our future; it has to be more than only dollars and cents. Please, someone, find the solution. I would like all school board members and administrators to spend one week without music and art of any kind. See

t the April meeting of the Crestwood School Board, I asked the board members what the state constitution says about paying for education and sports. No board member answered, so the superintendent did. He told me there is nothing in the constitution about paying for sports or extracurricular activities, only the cost of education. In 1960 I graduated from Nanticoke High, where boys played baseball, basketball and football. Most kids played sports in alleyways, where telephone poles had hoops or baskets, or played baseball and football on empty fields. Today, we have both boys and girls in sports such as field hockey, softball and probably a dozen others. This is great, and I am all for it. But, pay for it in the proper way; dont force taxpayers to pay for sports. Go by the constitution. The $5,000 spent for a softball coach would be better spent on things such as school supplies. Hopefully, someone with legal knowledge will look into this injustice to taxpayers. They also should see what could be done about the cost

of some teachers being more than $100 per hour. Three months of summer pay should stop, as well as sabbatical pay, personal holidays, life insurance, health insurance and much more. If teachers agree to a reasonable cost for their work, they wont have to lay off other teachers. Have common sense: Eighty-five percent of the budget goes to salaries, which means no school supplies and layoffs for teachers. I do know the teachers teaching my grandkids do a superb job. Hopefully, they will all see what is right for everyone, not only themselves.

Its boom/bust in gas industry
isericordia University President Michael MacDowell wrote a commentary earlier this year titled Shale exploration holds promise for Pennsylvania and the country that asserted this state will enjoy an economic boom, as natural gas extraction will supply a clean-burning and abundant source of energy that will make our country less dependent on foreign oil. Recent articles from national news outlets disagree. A Wall Street Journal article (Natural-gas windfall wanes, March 13) describes how the 2008 discovery of the Haynesville Shale in DeSoto Parish, La., was a windfall for tax revenue and businesses catering to the drilling industry, but is now feeling an economic backlash. In recent
months, the hotels and RV parks that were built to accommodate energy workers have sat half-empty, the article states. Restaurants have seen their sales collapse. Local landowners have seen their royalty checks from drilling companies fall by half in some cases. The same article identifies a similar trend playing out in parts of Texas, Arkansas and Pennsylvania as companies move to hunt for oil in (other) parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Ohio. It is well-documented that extraction industries can lead to a boom and bust economy something that we in Northeastern Pennsylvania know well because of the King Coal era. While gas drilling might produce limited, short-term economic gains, it might be devastating to communities in the intermediate to long term. It is likely to cause declines in our important existing industries such as agriculture, tourism, hunting, fishing and river recreation. Anticipate huge costs to the region, including maintenance and repair of over-used infrastructure, environmental degradation, human health costs and increased demands on social services and first responders. Homeowners can expect trouble refinancing and insuring properties on or near gas drilling, with the possibility of reduced property values and tax revenues. MacDowells commentary stated that natural gas has one-third the carbon footprint of coal and half that of oil. While it is true that natural gas is one of the cleanest burning fossil fuels, recent scientific studies and reviews including those from Cornell University, the University of Colorado Boulder, NASA Climate Scientist Drew Shindell, Climate Progress and Post Carbon conclude that the energy-intensive process of extracting gas from shale puts full-cycle greenhouse gas emissions as equal to or worse than coal over a 20-year time-
frame. This includes the production and transportation of methane, which is 105 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a global warming contributor. The commentary also noted that there is an estimated 50-year supply of natural gas. Actually, there is realistically only about a four-year supply of natural gas in the Marcellus. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there are about 84 trillion cubic feet of technically recoverable natural gas in the Marcellus, while the U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that in 2011 the United States consumed 24.37 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The industry has spent millions of dollars on ads that equate natural gas extraction with freedom from foreign energy sources. Dr. MacDowell asserted that natural gas can provide domestic security for Americans. Why, then, is the industry selling off its interests to foreign corporations and developing plans to liquefy the gas for transportation overseas? Dr. MacDowell wrote: How do we ensure that our region will be minimally exposed to risk from the growth of natural gas extraction and its various spin-offs? That is the $64,000 question. In our opinion, this question should have been answered long before drilling ever began. After studying this industry for more than two years, it is the opinion of the Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition that the economic benefits to Northeastern Pennsylvania have been greatly exaggerated and the environmental costs have been gravely underestimated. Dr. MacDowell said, Perhaps greater assurances are needed. With that, we are in agreement.
Dr. Tom Jiunta Spokesman Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition Lehman Township
n columnist John Watsons commentary on May 6, The time for government intervention is now, he claims additional government stimulus is necessary to boost our economy. He also states that economist Paul Krugman, who is widely known for his controversial Keynesian theory that massive government spending during World War II ended the Depression, has been making the same recommendation. While Mr. Krugmans demand-side theory might appear sound, historical records show that many economically friendly supply-side factors appeared during World War II and shortly afterwards, which conversely also could have ended the Depression. These supply-side factors include: lowering taxes, repealing import tariffs, Franklin Delano Roosevelt stopping his war on business because he needed corporations to produce war equipment and munitions, FDR ending his experimental economic programs that caused market fluctuations and therefore made long-term planning and investment impossible, FDR ending his meddlesome New Deal and lawmakers rejecting FDRs proposed New Deal Revival that included governmentsponsored health care. Mr. Watson also claims government fear of spending caused the Depression. His hypothesis contradicts historical records that show President Hoovers spending created a deficit that was heretofore the largest in U.S. history, and FDRs spending increased the deficit by 83 percent. The widely accepted causes of the Depression are increased wages, increased taxes and import tariffs.

Same-sex marriage: Empathy or right?

THERE ARE two ways to defend gay marriage. Argument A is empathy: One is influenced by gay friends in committed relationships yearning for the fulfillment and acceptance that marriage conveys upon heterosexuals. Thats essentially the case President Obama made when he first announced his change of views. No talk about rights, just human fellow feeling. Such an argument is attractive because it can be compelling without being compulsory. Many people, feeling the weight of this longing among their gay friends, are willing to redefine marriage for the sake of simple human sympathy. At the same time, however, one can sympathize with others who feel great trepidation at the radical transformation of the most fundamental of social institutions, one that, until yesterday, was heterosexual in all societies in all places at all times. The empathy argument both encourages mutual respect in the debate and lends itself to a political program of gradualism. State by state, let community norms and moral sensibilities prevail. Indeed, that is Obamas stated position. Such pluralism allows for the kind of stable settlement of the issue that Ruth Bader Ginsburg once lamented had been halted by Roe v. Wade regarding abortion, an issue as morally charged and politically unbridgeable as gay marriage. Argument B is more uncompromising: You have the right to marry anyone, regardless of gender. The right to marriage equality is todays civil rights, voting rights and womens rights and just as inviolable. Argument B has extremely powerful implications. First, if same-sex marriage is a right, then there is no possible justification for letting states decide for themselves. How can you countenance even one state outlawing a fundamental right? Indeed, half a century ago, states rights was the cry of those committed to continued segregation and discrimination. Second, if marriage equality is a civil right, then denying it on the basis of (innately felt) sexual orientation is, like discrimination on the basis of skin color, simple bigotry. Californias Proposition 8 was overturned by a 9th Circuit panel on the grounds that the referendum, reaffirming marriage as between a man and woman, was nothing but an

expression of bias serves no purpose ... other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians. Pretty strong stuff. Which is why it was so surprising that Obama, after first advancing Argument A, went on five days later to adopt Argument B, calling gay marriage a great example of expand(ing) rights and todays successor to civil rights, voting rights, womens rights and workers rights. Problem is: Its a howling contradiction to leave up to the states an issue Obama now says is a right. And beyond being intellectually untenable, Obamas embrace of the more hard-line rights argument compels him logically to see believers in traditional marriage as purveyors of bigotry. Not a good place for a president to be in an evenly divided national debate that requires both sides to offer each other a modicum of respect. No wonder that Obama has been trying to get away from the issue as quickly as possible. Its not just the New York Times poll showing his new position to be a net loser. Its that he is too intelligent not to realize hes embraced a logical contradiction. Moreover, there is the problem of the obvious cynicism of his conversion. Two-thirds of Americans see his evolution as a matter not of principle but of politics. In fact, the change is not at all an evolution a teleological term cleverly chosen to suggest movement toward a higher state of being given that Obama came out for gay marriage 16 years ago. And then flip-flopped. He was pro when running for the Illinois Legislature from ultra-liberal Hyde Park. He became anti when running eight years later for U.S. senator and had to appeal to a decidedly more conservative statewide constituency. And now hes pro again. Notwithstanding a comically fawning press, Obama knows he has boxed himself in. His rights argument compels him to nationalize same-sex marriage and sharpen hostility to proponents of traditional marriage a place he is loath to go. True, he was rushed into it by his loquacious vice president. But surely he could have thought this through.

The Great Books of Western civilization are still worth studying

SOMETHING WE havent heard many university commencement speakers discuss this year is our Western heritage or the related topics of Western civilization, Great Books or the classics. The hostility to such topics is not new; it goes back at least four decades. It reached its apex in 1988, when Jesse Jackson led a demonstration at Stanford University, chanting Hey hey, ho ho, Western Civ has got to go referring to a Stanford course that featured such authors as Homer and Voltaire. Stanford did, of course, drop the course, and since that time most schools that even bother to teach Western Civ have tended to apologize for doing so. Many academics, politicians and self-professed intellectuals dismiss 2,000 years of Western writing and thinking as the offspring of an imperialistic, sexist and despotic European culture, whose last remnant is found in the United States. They view the Great Books of our heritage as antiquated and illegitimate, unworthy of a contemporary education.
COMMENTARY
JANE S. SHAW
To the contrary, if we delegitimize Western civilization, we delegitimize humankinds long march from drudgery to comparative luxury. As Nathan Rosenberg and L.E. Birdzell Jr. wrote in their book, How the West Grew Rich, If we take the long view of human history and judge the economic lives of our ancestors by modern standards, it is a story of almost unrelieved wretchedness. What made this transition from unrelieved wretchedness possible? While experts offer many opinions, there is widespread agreement among serious scholars that the economic forces of the Industrial Revolution largely were responsible and that these forces were closely intertwined with the development of ideas about liberty. Liberty was a necessary precursor to the Industrial Revolution because it made possible the freedom to own property, the freedom of scientific inquiry and the freedom to explore new ideas.
But how did we get those freedoms? The idea that people have an inalienable right to be free (however much they are enslaved in practice) must have come from somewhere. The study of Western civilization explains the origins. Some people (I am one) argue that the transformation of the West started with new concepts introduced as far back as early Judaism and Christianity, such as the separation of divine and earthly sovereignty. Others credit the Middle Ages, thanks to competition caused by fragmented power (popes, kings, nobility and cities vying with one another) and the development of property rights out of feudalism. Others believe the phenomenon came much later, reflecting the science of Francis Bacon, the support of free speech by John Milton, the property theories of John Locke and the classical liberalism of Adam Smith. To argue for the study of Western civilization is not to argue against the study of Eastern civilization or African or native American civilizations. At the very least, however, the intellectual history of Europe with its foundations in the cultures of Greece and Rome and in the religions of the Middle East, including Islam chron-

icles the gradual, fitful and often violent progress of humans toward freedom. While the writings of dead white males, such as Bacon and Locke, might not have caused the transformation of the world into its modern condition, in which liberty is considered inalienable, those writings accompanied that development and shed light on it. Not all Great Books, of course, are inherently great in terms of their insights, beauty of language or precision of logic though many are.
They are worth reading and studying, however, because they chronicle human progress and the monumental changes that enabled vast numbers of people to move out of desperate poverty to a decent life. Commencement speakers who focus only on the here and now do us a great disservice.

fter reading a recent article that expressed the need for a roof over the dog kennel at the Blue Chip Farms Animal Refuge located in Franklin Township, I was inspired by the Lord to fill the need. I was moved by the work done by Marge Bart and Tanya Stankus, who run the shelter. No animal they care for is euthanized. In fact, they provide food, shelter, love, grooming and veterinarian care. More than 200 animals are adopted out to loving homes annually. My faith in the Lord opened the door to get this project done. My wife Janice was very supportive and came up with the idea of having 10 area businesses each donate $100, and we would incur any additional costs and supply the labor. I enlisted the help of my nephew Tim Sarnak and my nieces husband Scott Martin, who are both in the construction business. The moment I told them what needed to be done, these outstanding men agreed and provided the skills and labor necessary. We raised more than $1,900, as many individuals and business wanted to help the cause. It was enough for the project

It seems Mr. Naperkowski is unaware that Wilkes-Barre Township has two meetings every month, and all bills are presented and made public. The mayor summarizes these reports and the state of affairs. It seems, Mr. Naperkowski, that your henchmen at the locations you fancy (i.e. the garage at which you hang out) are misinforming you. You are not a resident of Wilkes-Barre Township and do not pay taxes to the township. This suggests your unwarranted, abusive attacks on the mayor are personal and transparent as glass.

have trouble with double standards the Republicans have when it comes to a lot of things, but especially when it comes to Obama using his accomplishments and they call it politicizing. What is it when all you see in the newspaper is Congressmen Lou Barletta and Tom Marino holding meetings right before election time? Where were they before? The people are waking up and seeing that we had a donothing Congress. Who in their right mind as a politician would sign a pledge to not raise taxes when we are in a recession? Now you see who is going to pay for that pledge. Your taxes wont stop going up, but the top 1 percent doesnt have to worry. When it comes to jobs, the states with Republican governors such as ours are laying off teachers and government workers. Obama is trying to make jobs, and the Republicans are getting rid of them. Now how do you fix the jobs problem when you are up against that kind of opposition? Its all about keeping the unemployment numbers high so Obama looks bad come November.

La luz. The light, he says. Helping as translator during an interview, Rodriguezs friend Eddy Cortes explains Rodriguez is very happy to have recently opened his Art & Framing shop in the 600 block of Hazle Street in Wilkes-Barre. Ever since the artist moved to Northeastern Pennsylvania, it has been his goal to open a gallery similar to the one in which he showcased his work in the Dominican Republic. But the road has not been easy. Soon after his arrival in 2005 he found a job in a local factory, and that December, a horrifying accident with a piece of sharp machinery cost him all four fingers on his left hand. There was terrible pain, he remembers, followed by a helicopter flight to Philadelphia, during which he lost consciousness. At first, doctors hoped they could save some of his fingers. But it was not to be. It turned black, Rodriguez said. The doctor had to cut, cut, cut. He is thankful his dominant right hand was spared, but, without his left hand, it is more difficult to hold a palette or clean brushes, the artist said through

New album is natural evolution

By CHRIS BARTON Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES Mention that Norah Jones has a new record and most likely an aural picture emerges. Maybe its a hazard of success or having such a recognizable, lightly sanded voice, but after she took home five Grammys for the nearly inescapable Come Away With Me in 2003, Norah Jones particular brand of song craft became synonymous with an understated, ballad-friendly sound that was always tasteful but sometimes a bit unobtrusive. If there was no Adele or Norah, what would they play in coffee shops and hotels? one prominent jazz musician playfully
I dont think Ive made the same record over and over. I think Ive made a pretty natural evolution to this point.
Norah Jones
asked on Twitter recently, pairing two runaway Grammy winners of the past 10 years. Yet this perception overlooks that Norah Jones has been steadily moving away from the sultry, nocturnal atmosphere of her previous records. The daughter of sitar great Ravi Shankar, Jones exploded out of the New York City jazz scene in the early 00s and built a steady career
on albums that elegantly nodded toward jazz, country and pop in a manner that merged well with public spaces seeking a hip (but not too hip) backdrop. But a shift began coming into focus in 2009 with The Fall, which took Jones into a more shuffling, rock-oriented direction with guest turns from indie heroes Ryan Adams and Okkervil Rivers Will Sheff. Her new album, Little Broken Hearts, goes a significant step further with the help of uber-producer Danger Mouse (a.k.a. Brian Burton), whose eclectic, funk-dusted touch has been heard with Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells and the Black Keys. Though layered with curious sounds and effects, Jones emphaSee NORAH, Page 4F
CHICAGO Five years ago the influential comedy website Funny or Die took a few baby steps and uploaded its first video, a rough, hastily assembled sketch that starred, appropriately enough, a baby. Pearl McKay was 2 years old at the time, the daughter of parents deeply rooted in Chicago her mother, Shira Piven, grew up in Evanston, Ill., the sister of actor Jeremy Piven. Pearls father, Adam McKay, got his start in the Chicago comedy scene in the early 90s, then left in 1995 to become a writer at Saturday Night Live. The video was called The Landlord and featured Pearl screaming at McKays comedy partner, Will Ferrell. Back then, expectations for Funny or Die, which seemed like just another mingling of originally produced comedy videos and user-uploaded material, fell somewhere in line with scores of other, similar Hollywood-Internet hybrid misfires remember Dot Comedy (NBC), Pop (Steven Spiel- The Landberg) and SuperDe- lord, the luxe (TBS)? Five years later, most-watched Funny or Die, which video in FoD McKay, Ferrell and history, has Entourage execu- been viewed tive producer Chris Henchy founded on a more than 80 whim (and with the million times friendly urging of a venture capital firm), is way beyond baby steps. You might say, to keep the metaphor going, it already has graduated and become a media mogul: This fall there will be four Funny or Die-branded TV shows, two Web series and a movie in production, said CEO Dick Glover. It recently launched an iPad magazine, announced a deal to provide some of the in-flight entertainment for Virgin Airlines and started a commercial division. Its become the place where stars and corporations alike go to seem a little subversive. The Landlord, the most-watched video in FoD history, has been viewed more than 80 million times, and the site gets 17 million visitors a month. Glover, who said Funny or Die became profitable in late 2010, has not ruled out the possibility (someday, just not right now) of an initial public offering for Funny or Die stock. McKay, currently prepping Anchorman 2 (set in the late 70s, during the transition from traditional newscasts to the 24-7 cable universe, he teased), took time out recently to talk by phone about the sites evolution since 2007. The following is an edited version of a longer conversation. Q: When you first started in comedy, moving from Philadelphia to Chicago in 1990, going through Second City and iO and co-founding the Upright Citizens Brigade, were you making short videos back then? A: Yes! And there was no place to put them. There was no outlet. We made them anyway. It was like an animal instinct. A group of us stuck together, Matt Besser, Horatio Sanz, Ian Roberts. It was as if everyones collective (subconscious) knew the Internet was coming. We would show them in the lobby before (UCB) shows. The first video was about a bunch of us coming back from a party. We were in a car, which speaks to how little we knew what we were doing shooting in cars is the worst. One of us kept doing a Jack Nicholson impression, then kept doing it, until were like, Hey, really, stop it. That turns into a fight. Q: Later, at Saturday Night Live, you brought short films back in the 1990s, which had been this marginal thing at SNL, though the tradition went back to the first season. Sounds like you really wanted to direct. A: Actually, it went exactly like that! I was going to quit the show. I had been head writer for a couple of years, and there was all this stuff I wanted to try, but ultimately its (Lorne Michaels) show and I should politely move on. My manager said, If youre going to quit, make an unreasonable demand. What would you want in your dream world? I didnt want to go to production meetSee FUNNY, Page 5F

HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some days its best to let yourself go soft, and other days you benefit from tapping into something stronger inside you. Thats what will work for you now. If you indulge sad feelings, they will just keep coming. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Look at the routine tasks in your life. For each one, ask yourself: Is this necessary or just habitual? Consider whether your time would be better spent on a different activity. Delegate where you can. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You might spend a good portion of your day doing someone a favor. Its not wasted time. Youll enjoy yourself and learn something new, and youll build up karma points to cash in at a later date. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Do you understand how you make a difference in this world? There are multiple ways in which you contribute to the lives of others. A friend helps you see how great you are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll operate in a group of people who are committed to meeting one common goal. You may not technically be the team leader, but it will fall to you to keep the team motivated to achieve that goal. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youre spread a bit thin. Starting too many projects at one time is disempowering because you never get to feel like youre winning at any of them. Narrow your task list so you can see and celebrate its completion. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You might have to miss out on a spur-of-themoment opportunity, and rightly so. Stick to your plan. You can always ask for more notice and a second chance. Youll find a way to work it into your schedule at a later date. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are things you couldnt possibly know about that you nonetheless get right on the first try. The guesses you make will turn out to be both intelligent and intuitive. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You genuinely want to help people and make them happy. But you cant say yes to everyone. Youll think of ways to say no that are so brilliant, they come across like youre saying yes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No one has to tell you about perseverance. You know that if you dont give up, you cant fail. Its as simple as that. Try and try again, using different methods to achieve the result you are looking for. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What comes around goes around and rather quickly today. This is a fact that favors you because youve gone out of your way to make sure your contributions are helpful, supportive and loving. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Make the interesting choice instead of the one with a predictable outcome. If youre unsure, your brain will kick into a heightened mode, and youll play a better game. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 20). You know yourself well, and youll apply yourself to the endeavors that best fit your strengths and preferences. Because of this, in the next two weeks, you sail past the obstacles that once stopped you. July brings the return of an old theme. This could come in the form of a special relationship. Family makes you proud in September. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 22, 39 and 18.

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE
Fueling car as engine runs is very dangerous

Dear Abby: My father absolutely refuses to turn off the ignition when fueling his car, despite the warnings at the pump. How can I convince him to stop endangering himself and my mother? Worried Down South Dear Worried: Motorists are instructed to Stop Motor while refueling for good reason. Gasoline is highly flammable. However, it is not actually the liquid that burns. Even at temperatures as low as 45 degrees, gasoline gives off vapor. It is the VAPORS that ignite. Gasoline vapor is heavier than air, so when it ignites, it does so at ground level. All it takes to create a violent explosion is fuel vapors, enough oxygen and a source of ignition. A spark from a cigarette, a hot exhaust pipe, faulty wiring, static electricity or the vapor reaching an open flame all can cause gasoline vapors to explode. Please show this item to your father. Perhaps it will convince him to be more safety conscious. Dear Abby: My husband loves to cook and hes very good at it. Every night when I get home from work, he greets me with a huge meal. Problem is, I feel obligated to eat it even when Im not the least bit hungry. Every morning, he asks me what I want for dinner. I prefer my main meal at noon and a very light meal or none at all at the end of the day. How can I get him to stop cooking for me without hurting his feelings? I know he does it because he loves me, but I feel I am being forced to eat food I dont want. Stuffed in San Antonio Dear Stuffed: I presume youre a new bride, because otherwise you would have already learned how to communicate openly with your husband while still being tactful. Try this: Honey, youre killing me with kindness. If I keep eating like this, Ill have to invest in an entire new wardrobe. My metabolism works better if I have my main meal at noon and very little in the evening, so please help me by not making these large dinners because theyre too tempting to resist. P.S. If cooking is his creative outlet, why not suggest he go all out once a week and invite another couple? Dear Abby: My daughter recently became engaged to a wonderful young man. I have looked forward to planning her wedding for years. She always said she wanted to be married in our hometown, but now she says they want to get married near where he lives, which is four hours from where I live. I feel she has been persuaded to do this. Im paying for the wedding and work full time, and Im really stressing about planning the dream wedding she wants from far away. Weddings are usually in the brides hometown, but Im concerned her mind was changed by his family for their convenience. What do I do? Just the Brides Mom Dear Just: Have a frank talk with your daughter and ask why she changed her mind. Tell her that you have dreamed of planning her wedding for years, but the change of venue is causing stress for you. Then ask if she would prefer you just give her a check for the amount you can afford, and whether it would be more practical for her to do the planning herself.

sizes the recordings acoustic roots, so this effort is far from a dance or electronic record. It is, however, her most intriguing listen. With Burton credited as cowriter, Little Broken Hearts feels like a welcome left turn, right down to its seductive, Russ Meyer-evoking cover art. But Jones doesnt see it that way. I always try to do something different, Jones said, speaking by phone from New York City. I dont think Ive made the same record over and over. I think Ive made a pretty natural evolution to this point. So for me, this doesnt seem so crazy, she added with a laugh. Jones first joined Burton on his lush 2011 album, Rome, an imaginary soundtrack teamed with composer Daniele Luppi steeped in the Ennio Morriconescored spaghetti westerns of the 60s and 70s. Though Burton was said to be in the studio and unavailable for interviews, hes previously described Jones as his first choice for the icily detached female vocal counterpoint to that records other high-profile guest, Jack White. Inspired by the experience, Jones asked if they could work together again on her next album. (Burton) said it would be fun to go in with nothing and just kind of write from scratch and play a bunch of instruments our-

selves, Jones explained, adding this was his method while recording with the Shins James Mercer on Broken Bells, whose electropop flourishes share a sonic lineage with Little Broken Hearts. Though Jones said one of the most freeing aspects of the album was going into its sessions with no expectations, Burton had a direction in mind. In the beginning Brian asked me if I was into making a dark album, and I think I was kind of surprised by that, Jones said. But I also wasnt closed to anything. ... He loves that mood, so you put him in a room with me who likes ballads and quiet music I think the combination works. The result is certainly dark, with many of the lyrics chronicling the shattered aftermath of a breakup, something Jones recently went through herself with the end of her relationship with musician Lee Alexander, who worked with Jones on her first three albums. (The two still work together on Jones country-tilted side project the Little Willies, which also released an album in January.) With Burtons spacey burbles and echoes shadowing her every move, Jones can sound achingly heartsick for much of Little Broken Hearts, as on Shes 22,
lover and making the line Im gonna smile when I take your life sound sinister yet weirdly sweet. When asked if she was worried about perhaps letting too much of her private life show in a breakup album that quickly starts sounding personal, Jones waved off such concerns. People will read into what you say no matter what, so it doesnt matter to me. I know whats real, whats encrypted in there and whats not, she said.

Food for thought

Author examines the Taste of Tomorrow
The Taste of Tomorrow: Dispatches From the Future of Food (Harper), by Josh Schonwald:
By JESSICA GRESKO Associated Press
hat will we be eating in 2035? Thats the question reporter Josh Schonwald sets out to answer in The Taste of Tomorrow.
The food odyssey that follows takes him from his neighborhood farmers market in Illinois
all the way to the Netherlands, where he visits a lab making the worlds first serious effort to grow meat in a test tube. Other stops include a California farmer who grows produce for renowned chef Alice Waters, the worlds largest indoor fish farm in Martinsville, Va., and an Army food lab west of Boston.
Along the way, Schonwald eats his way through a buffet of possible foods of tomorrow including stinging nettles, a fish called cobia, Stay Alert caffeine gum and an African dish called fufu that he says tastes like raw sourdough. At the headquarters of a California food research and development company he even tries a balsamic-infused pickle in the prototype stage. Luckily for readers, all this food exploration is divided into manageable and palate-pleasing bites. Different sections explore the future of salad, meat and fish. Schonwald also asks what will be the next big ethnic food, the next pad thai. And a final section explores the idea that we might be able to get all of our needed nutrients without even chewing, by taking a food pill. Readers who expect to come away knowing exactly what will be on the dinner table in 2035, however, will be disappointed. After thousands of miles of travel and a whole lot of eating, Schonwald confesses he still doesnt have a definitive answer.
The food odyssey that follows takes him from his neighborhood farmers market in Illinois all the way to the Netherlands.
Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes, and the Corleones, while not resting in a watery grave, are gone as well Sonny, the Don and his wife, even Michael and his daughter. But you cant keep a good Godfather down, any more than you can kill off Sherlock Holmes or Dracula. The Corleones still haunt our imaginations, and the beleaguered publishing industry knows its easier selling a name brand than an unknown. So welcome back, Fredo and Tom, Clemenza and Barzini, and particularly you, Luca Brasi, with your 15 minutes of fame as one of the central characters inThe Family Corleone." Billed as "The Family Corle- a prequel to Mario one" by Ed Falco, PuzosThe Godfabased on a screen- ther," the novel takes play by Mario place before most of Puzo; Grand Centhe events of the tral Publishing original book. The (436 pages, $27.99) writer is Ed Falco, here novelizing a Puzo screenplay that was originally conceived as half ofThe Godfather Part III." (The book prompted a nasty legal battle between Paramount and the Puzo estate over copyright and trademark concerns.) Sonny is 17, Michael 13 and Vito 41 as the book opens in 1933. Tom Hagen is a student at New York University who tempts fate by sleeping with Brasis mistress. And as the Italian families prepare to square off against one another, they face another threat the Irish, who want control of their own mean streets. Which does not stop Sonny from befriending one young Irish fellow and having an even closer, clandestine friendship with his sister. Most of this fits with Puzos original novel and director Francis Ford Coppolas first two films. A couple of major incidents in the new book dont quite square with Puzos screenplay, but thats nothing to be concerned about. Its an entertaining back story to the main event, including how Brasi came to talk so haltingly, and Falco does justice to each of the characters. The author uncle to actress Edie Falco is a better writer than Mark Winegardner, who also wrote a couple of books based on theGodfather" characters. Falco honors Puzos straightforward writing style without becoming as boring and unrhythmic as Winegardner. The difference betweenThe Godfather" andThe Family Corleone," though, is the difference between art and commerce. Puzo and Coppola were channeling something poetic in the book and the two films, focusing on the Dons own quasi-religious belief in making the best of the world God gave us and Michaels more capitalistic, button-down approach to making ones way. In Shakespearean terms, the Don is Henry IV, Michael Henry V and Sonny Hotspur. Falco has no such artistic ambitions, and how could he, given the perfection of the book and first two films, which make everything else superfluous, includingThe Godfather Part III"? That said, Falco spins a good yarn, even if the violence is more grotesque than in Puzo.The Family Corleone" is not a gourmet meal, but sometimes spaghetti and meatballs can be pretty tasty. all. Q: But co-opting can be subtle. A: It can, and we live in a corporate society. Depending on your belief system, thats a positive, a negative or somewhere in between. Im somewhere in between. Friends give me a hard time about the pants Im wearing, which are made in China. Well, how do you find the right clothes? Or the right movie studio? The right people giving you checks? Good luck doing the right thing all the time. Will and I discussed this early on: What if Exxon wants an ad? Or Wal-Mart? You have to cater a little. Wal-Mart is the biggest distributor of DVDs out there, but personally, I think their manufacturing policies have destroyed our economy and they dont pay their employees enough. I have massive problems with them. At the end of the day, the answer might be that as long as you dont feel a sick feeling in your stomach, youre clean.
FUNNY
ings. I didnt want to be in the room for the actual show any more, which is actually no fun. I wanted a raise. I wanted a budget for short films. And I wanted to name my own screen credit. Lorne said yes. So for the last two years I was there, I was coordinator of falconry. That was my actual screen credit. Wow, some people were (ticked off)! Im like, Relax, this is a comedy show. Q: Still, you didnt want to do Funny or Die at first, right? A: I didnt. Ferrell and I still had the dot-com collapse in our heads. The hype around it had gotten so dumb. But the guy who brought the idea to us, Mark Kvamme (of the venture-capital firm Sequoia Capital), he had already

adjusted. He knew you didnt launch a site like this the way you might have in 1998. It boiled down to, what do we have to lose? None of us, me or Will or Chris, put our money into it. Worstcase scenario, we have an outlet for the stuff we did on SNL and it gets 50,000 hits a month. If it was a failure, it wouldnt be a hyped failure. Which is
what resonated. It was clearly for the fun of it, and people liked the spontaneity of it. Q: So The Landlord was as roughly made as it looks? A: Completely. My daughter was going through that phase where she repeated anything you said. My wife would speak French to her, and she would repeat it. I would say postlapsarian epistemological and she would repeat it. I said, You know, Ferrell, Pearl can say anything. So we showed up at his house. My buddy, Drew Antzis, who shot it, was a masseuse at the time. I know him from Chicago, from iO. He said, I have a couple of massages scheduled. Between them, lets do it. Pearl couldnt focus, but with Uncle Will, she calmed down. It took about 40 minutes. We didnt think much of it, beyond it being funny. We threw it on the site with no announcement, no press release. Will and I forwarded it to
friends. That was about it. Within days, Ellen DeGeneres wanted Pearl on her show. It blew up faster than anything wed ever done. Q: Early on, within months of launch, the site also began making corporatesponsored comedy videos. Werent you leery of that, that it might change this scrappy, spontaneous thing into something deliberate? A: We were worried. We talked about that at great length. We decided we would just separate those from the rest, the way Second City had done when it started a business unit. With a firewall, it should be fine. The rule is, never do a video unless theres a chance to do something interesting. When this arrangement works best, its close to TV, working with advertisers behind you. The best example is Zach Galifianakis Between Two Ferns series. Theres corporate money behind it. That hasnt affected the drive of it at

Houston: 5 free things for visitors to do

By MICHAEL GRACZYK Associated Press
OUSTON Summer is nearly year-round in Southeast Texas so it should be no surprise that the free stuff to see and do in the sprawling metropolitan area of the nations fourth-biggest city focuses on the outdoors. But that doesnt mean you have to surrender to the areas infamous heat and humidity, particularly brutal in August, to enjoy attractions that will only cost the time and gasoline to get there.
town, this 64-foot-high semicircular fountain arguably is Houston most photographed site. Visitors can stand inside the wall that recirculates 11,000 gallons of water each minute. Besides providing cooling mist, the visual effect is surreal. A night visit inside the lit fountain gives it an entirely different look and experience. 4. GALVESTON: Houstons getaway to the Gulf of Mexico. OK, its not the glistening white Gulf beaches of the Florida Panhandle but its only an hours drive south on Interstate 45. Park on the Galveston Seawall and youre there. And as a bonus, one of the best free trips in all of Texas is just off the east end of the seawall, where the Bolivar Ferry 24 hours a day carries vehicles and passengers the couple of miles back and forth across Galveston Bay. Watch for dolphins and feed the sea gulls. 5. PORT OF HOUSTON BOAT TOUR: Since 1958, the 95-foot-long Motor Vessel Sam Houston has been taking visitors on a 90-minute cruise of the Houston Ship Channel, home to one of the worlds busiest ports and among the worlds largest petrochemical complexes. The boat holds up to 100 people who can sit in its air-conditioned seating area or stand on the deck to take full advantage of the ports sounds and smells. Theres no charge but reservations are required.
1. THE MENIL COLLECTION: Banker John de Menil and his wife, Dominique, heiress to the Schlumberger oilfield company fortune, over decades amassed a collection of nearly 16,000 art objects that since 1987 have been on display at the Houston museum that bears their name. The collection features pieces by European and American masters plus ancient and modern works from around the world. The museums companion Rothko Chapel provides visitors with a tranquil meditative environment that welcomes 60,000 visitors a year. 2. MILLER THEATRE: The Houston Symphony, Houston Grand Opera and Houston Ballet headline an extensive performing arts lineup thats been using the Miller Theatre stage since the 1920s and now draws nearly a half-million spectators annually to the 7.5-acre site in Hermann Park, just east of the world famous Texas Medical Center. Tickets for the recently renovated covered seating area are available early in the day for that evenings performance and concert-goers also can bring a blanket and sit on the grass hill immediately behind the seats. 3. THE WATER WALL: A couple blocks south of the Galleria, Houstons largest shopping experience, and in the shadow of the 902-foot Williams Tower, the citys most visible skyscraper outside down-

A seagull snags a piece of bread out of a passengers hand aboard a ferry boat as it crosses Galveston Bay in Galveston, Texas. Galveston, an hour south of Houston on I-45, is Houstons gateway to the Gulf of Mexico and the ferry is free.

This circa 1995 construction has numerous upgrades, including a stunning open living room and dining room space that shares a 15-foot ceiling. Plantation shutters are found on many of the homes large windows, and the granite kitchen is sure to be a favorite. Just shy of a half acre in size, the lot has extensive landscaping and a paved driveway that leads to an attached two-car garage. The red brick exterior has white trim. The front door is anked by sidelights and leads into a hardwood foyer with a staircase straight ahead. A right takes you into the open living and dining room space that has dramatic columns that divide the two. The living room area feels even bigger than its 15-by-14 measurement thanks to the 15-foot ceiling that it shares with the dining area. This room has a triple window front with rounded accent windows, covered by plantation shutters for privacy. Butterscotch paint on the walls provides a sharp contrast to white trim and white crown molding. The dramatic pillars lead to the dining room, which measures 14-by-12. This room has a leaded glass window to the side and a matching set of triple windows facing rear. The adjacent kitchen is a comfortable 20-by-13 and has black speckled granite countertops over striking white cabinets. A large angled island hosts two sinks and a breakfast bar.

All eyes here are sure to be drawn to the red brick replace with carved white mantle and raised brick hearth that graces the end wall. There is a nearby mud room/laundry that offers access to the garage which features linoleum ooring and a pedestrian door to the rear yard.
