Municipal and school district
officials arent the only ones frus-
trated with Luzerne Countys
earned income tax collector.
David Wert, of Wilkes-Barre,
says he still hasnt received his
approximately $2,500 local in-
come taxrefundfor 2011, andthe
Centax-Don
Wilkinson
Agency the
tax collector
with whom he
filed his 2011
return is giv-
ing him a run-
around.
Centax has come under fire in
several Pennsylvania counties,
including Luzerne County, in
the past couple months, as the
company is having problems dis-
tributingmillions of dollars inin-
come taxes received from em-
ployers to municipalities and
school districts.
The Luzerne County Tax Col-
lection Committee learned in
May that Centax was having ex-
treme difficulties reconciling,
processing and efficiently distri-
buting earned income tax pursu-
ant to Act 32, committee Fi-
nance Chairman Paul Keating
said at a June 27 committee
meeting.
Act 32 mandated that almost
all counties in the state appoint
one tax collector for all earned
income tax collection starting
Jan. 1. Previously, EIT was col-
lected by tax collectors appoint-
ed by each community.
As it turns out, Centaxwas not
the tax collector for Wilkes-
Barre in 2011; it was Berkheimer
Associates, according to city ad-
ministrator Marie McCormick.
So Wert apparently mailed his
tax return to the wrong agency.
But Centax never informed
him of the error.
Experiencing everything from
employees hanging up as soon
Centax comes under fire from communities

On the surface, Luzerne Coun-
tys new home rule government
doesnt seem very different from
the systemit replacedsixmonths
ago.
An appointed manager and
part-time, 11-member council re-
placed the three
elected commis-
sioners, but most
of the decisions
theyve made to
date havent per-
ceptibly altered
the structure of
county govern-
ment.
The county offers the same ser-
vices. The majority of workers
are in the same jobs. Employees
are temporarily handling the du-
ties of most elected row officers
eliminated by home rule.
Council Chairman Jim Bobeck
said much of the first half of the
year was devoted to the tedious
but important crafting of codes
and procedures outlining how
the new government will oper-
ate.
When you change a form of
government in place hundreds of
years, it doesnt stop on a dime,
Bobeck said. The first six
months have been dedicated to
implementing the vision of the
new government, and the next
six months as well as the next
year will be a continuation of
that.
County Manager Robert Law-
ton, who started work Feb. 29,
said he wanted to assess oper-
ations and personnel and get his
arms around county finances be-
fore instituting major changes.
Hes engrossed in preparing a
comprehensive mid-year finan-
cial report anddevelopingcorrec-
tive plans so the county doesnt
end the year with a deficit.
Lawton said he held off on se-
lecting eight division heads des-
ignated in the charter because
the positions werent budgeted
but saidheplans totakeactionon
the appointments soon.

HANOVER TWP. After last night Al Uzdella can put
away the potato slicer.
The former fire chief wont need it to make french fries
at the Breslau Hose Co. No. 5 bazaar anymore.
The volunteer firefighting company held its last one this
weekend, ending a more than 30-year run.
Its not that people dont turn out for the three-day
festival of food, drink and entertainment.
Just the opposite.
People packed the grounds of the hose company on the
corner of First and Delaney streets.
But its been a struggle getting volunteers.

For decades people have loved the Breslau Hose Co. bazaar,

WEEKLY LOTTERY
SUMMARY
LOS ANGELES Football
fans have the Super Bowl. Soc-
cer enthusiasts have the World
Cup. Cinephiles have the Acade-
my Awards.
For pop-culture lovers the
self-professed geeks and nerds
who delight in fantasy-inspired
fun from anime to zombies
there is Comic-Con, the Olym-
pic-sized celebration of movies,
TV, video games, costumes and
pop art that began as a humble
comic-book convention 43 years
ago and is now an annual mar-
keting extravaganza.
From Thursday to Sunday,
more than 100,000 pop-culture
aficionados will flood the San
Diego ConventionCenter, show-
ing off their Storm Trooper
suits, playing yet-to-be-released
video games and attending pan-
els featuring A-list filmmakers
like Peter Jackson and such hot
TV shows as Game of
Thrones.
But first comes Wednesdays
preview night. Available only
to those who bought four-day
passes to the sold-out conven-
tion, the showing is decidedly
low tech, yet high end: its all
about collectible toys.
On display will be special-is-
sue, limited-edition playthings
and books made just for the pop-
culture fest. These include not
only the unique freebies that var-
ious booths are giving away, but
also coveted collectibles that
could fetch hundreds of dollars
at Comic-Con and hundreds
more in after-market sales.
There are people who buy
tickets for every day of the show
so that onWednesday night they
can be the first in line for these
exclusive collectibles. Thats
their reward for going to a desti-
nation like Comic-Con, said
pop-culture expert and host of
G4s Attack of the Show Blair
Butler. There are also people
who flip that stuff on eBay for
hundreds of dollars. They buy
two: One to keep and one to sell
on eBay.
Collectors will literally run
across the massive convention
center floor when the doors
open Wednesday evening to cue
up for products like Hasbros
S.H.I.E.L.D. Super Helicarrier, a
four-foot-long replica of the fly-
ing superhero headquarters
from the Avengers movie and
Mattels quirky Dana as Zuul
Ghostbusters figurine. Others
seek out small-run exclusives
such as the golden Domo bob-
ble-head doll (only 1,000 made)
and Image Comics special hard-
cover comics collection The
Walking Dead: Compendium
One (only 900 available).
Toy companies andpublishers
large and small make special
products just for the Comic-Con
crowd. Hasbro and Mattel each
issue around 10 Comic-Con ex-
clusives a year. These toys are in-
troduced at Comic-Con and lim-
ited numbers are often made
available for sale later at Toys
R Us and on each companys
collector websites.
Everything is made in limit-
ed quantities. Products can dou-
ble, triple, quadruple in price
over the course of a year, said
Hugo Stevenson, president of
Huckleberry Toys, which is of-
fering zombies and other figu-
rines based on the upcoming
film ParaNorman. Theres a
whole group of people who ac-
tually make a business out of
this: Going down and buying
collectibles at San Diego Comic-
Con and then selling them in
their stores or on eBay.
For most collectors, though,
adding exclusive items to a care-
fully cultivated collection is
priceless.
No collector is going to sell
their collection, saidScott Neit-
lich, a marketing manager at
Mattel whose personal toy cache
includes roughly5,000 figures.
Its not just about the physical
price of the product, but the
emotional connection each col-
lector has about what figures
theyve decided to include.
Most toy collectors are men
ages 25 to 40, he said, though
women are getting into the hob-
by in growing numbers. Mattel
is aiming its limited DC Comics
Vertigo Death statuette and Pol-
ly Pocket DCComics Villains set
at female collectors. Hasbro
hopes to tap the market with a
special-edition My Little Pony: a
gray Pegasus with blonde hair.
Its peoplewhogrewupinthe
70s and 80s who now have dis-
posable income to recapture
their youth, Neitlich saidCom-
ic-Con has become the place, re-
ally the only place, where you
can go to get these limited-edi-
tion, first-edition products, said
Rich Collins, chief of Big Tent
Entertainment, which makes
toys and products for Domo,
Dark Horse Comics and other
brands.

Comic Con extravaganza
now a marketers dream

LOS ANGELES Heart-
throb singer Justin Bieber has
been ticketed for speeding on a
Los Angeles freeway after being
chasedbyat least one other vehi-
cle, authorities said.
The 18-year-old Boyfriend
andBaby crooner was citedfor
driving in excess of 65 mph at
about10:45a.m. onFridaymorn-
ing, after calls came incomplain-
ing of a freeway chase on south-
bound U.S. Highway 101 near
Studio City, said Officer Ming
Hsu of the California Highway
Patrol.
Bieber told officers he was be-
ing chased by paparazzi, Hsu
said.
The second vehicle left the
area and theres a search to find
that driver, Hsu said.
Hsudidnot have a description
of the other vehicle.
Acall and an email to Biebers
publicist we-
rent immedi-
ately returned.
The claim of
a chase is
backed by eye-
witness Los
Angeles City
Councilman
Dennis Zine, who called author-
ities after seeing Biebers dis-
tinctive chrome Fisker Karma
being chased by five or six other
cars.
On his morning commute to
City Hall, Zine said he sawBieb-
ers sports car drive up behind
him and zoom around him,
weaving wildly in and out of traf-
fic while five or six other cars
gave chase.
Zine, who spent 33 years as an
officer for the LAPD, estimated
the chase exceeded 100 mph as
paparazzi engaged in wild ma-
neuvers to keep up with Bieber,
including driving on the shoul-
der and cutting off other vehi-
cles.
Zine said Bieber was breaking
the lawby drivingrecklessly and
speeding, and the paparazzi
were breaking the lawby hound-
ing him.
This was very bizarre, very
outrageous and showed a total
disregard for life and property,
Zine said.
Zine, a witness to countless
crashes and fatalities during his
time as an officer, said he was
surprised no one crashed.
The way (Bieber) was driv-
ing was totally reckless, I would
have arrested himif I had pulled
himover, said Zine. I wouldnt
have given him a ticket and let
him go.
Fridays incident isnt the only
time the floppy-haired singer
has had conflict with paparazzi.
In May, a photographer called
authorities, complaining he was
roughed up by the pop star in a
shopping center, The Commons
at Calabasas.
Authorities said the scuffle
happened when a photographer
tried to snap photos of Bieber
and his girlfriend, teen actress
Selena Gomez. In April 2011,
Bieber called off a meeting with
the Israeli Prime Minister Benja-
min Netanyahu in Jerusalem,
saying he didnt want to face the
countrys paparazzi.

SHOOTING
Continued from Page 1A
PLEASUREPOINT, Calif. A
great white shark, estimated to
be up to 18 feet long, sheared
through the front end of a kayak
floating about a quarter-mile
from the popular Eastside surf
spot known as Pleasure Point in
Monterey Bay near Santa Cruz,
Calif., authorities said.
The attack, which happened
about 8:30 a.m. Saturday, is a rare
occurrence for the area, as no one
has reporteda shark bite insever-
al decades in the waters around
Santa Cruz County, according to
SeanVanSommeranof the Pelag-
ic Shark Research Foundation.
On Saturday, a 52-year-old Fre-
mont, Calif., man was fishing
from his 13.5-foot kayak when he
felt the shark bump up against
the back of the boat.
Within seconds, the shark lift-
ed up the kayak and attacked the
front, sheriffs deputies said.
The man, thrown fromthe kay-
ak, was unharmed.
He was pluckedfromthe ocean
by a boater nearby who had wit-
nessed the incident.
The man was fishing with two
friends in about 40 feet of water
just outside a kelp bed when the
attack occurred.
The mans friends, in separate
kayaks, were not injured.
The sharks teeth sliced
through the thick shell of the yel-
low kayak, and investigators ex-
tracted tooth fragments from the
bite marks.
Van Sommeran was called to
inspect the bite, and he immedi-
ately confirmed it was the work
of a great white the worlds
largest predatory shark.
"Those teeth can go right
through bones and saw apart
seals," Van Sommeran said.
"Theyre designed to dismantle
sea animals. They rarely bite hu-
mans."
While shark attacks in the
Monterey Bay are rare, shark
sightings are common.
Its not unusual to hear of
sharks beingspottednear Seacliff
and La Selva beaches, Van Som-
meran said.
A great white was reportedly
seen near Marina two weeks ago,
he said.
The only shark bite Van Som-
meran could recall in Santa Cruz
Countywas in1960, whena wom-
an was badly bitten near Sand
Dollar Beach between La Selva
and Watsonville.
Sharks are known to cruise the
California coast between Octo-
ber and January, feeding off seals
and other sea life before heading
farther out to sea for the winter.
Capitola, Calif., police issued a
text message alert onSaturday to
warn surfers and beachgoers
about the attack and advise cau-
tion when playing near the
ocean.
"Enter at your own risk," the
message read.
Surfers and beachgoers ap-
peared undaunted by news of the
attack.
The head-high waves churning
on Saturday brought large num-
bers out to enjoy the swell.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. The
1960s mop top is gone, but Ringo
Starr is still flashing a peace sign.
The former Beatle marked his
72nd birthday in Nashville Satur-
day by holding a peace and love
moment at noon.
He asked people worldwide to
do the same at 12 oclock in their
time zones.
The idea came to him in 2008
when an interviewer asked him
what he wanted for his birthday.
Since then, he has held events
each year in cities such as New
York, Chicago and Hamburg, Ger-
many.
Its sort of catching on more
and more, the more we do, Starr
said before the festivities.
We got lots of blogs fromJapan
and China and all over the world
saying, Wedidpeaceandlove. So
its working.
Hundreds of fans joinedStarr at
Hard Rock Caf, shouting peace
and love at the magic hour and
holding two fingers in the air.
The crowd sang happy birth-
dayandthechorusof GivePeace
AChance. One fan held up a sign
declaring the last time she saw
Starr in person.
He pointed to her and joked, I
hugged this woman in 1964, and
she still cant get over it.
Organizers presented him with
a star magnolia tree that will be
planted nearby. He also cut a cake
shaped like a flower pot with a gi-
ant sunflower growing out of it.
Party favors included frosted coo-
kies and white, peace and love
rubber bracelets.
Starrs family and friends
showed up, including country
singer Vince Gill andEagles guita-
rist JoeWalsh. Walshplayedinthe
72-year-olds first All Starr Bandin
1989, which features a rotation of
celebrity musicians.
Nowtheyrerelated. Walshmar-
ried Marjorie Bach, who is the sis-
ter of Starrs wife, Barbara Bach.
He is my brother-in-law, so its
kind of family business. Ive been
tothelast couple, andI didnt want
tomissthisone,hesaid. I thinka
peace and love moment would be
good for the entire planet.

Vietnam re-creators set
Visitors will be transported to 1968
Vietnam as they experience patrol
demonstrations and camp tours on
July 21-22, during the Fifth Annual
VIETNAM Revisited Combat Biv-
ouac Living History Weekend held
on the grounds of the Pennsylvania
Military Museum in Boalsburg, Cen-
tre County.
First Cavalry re-enactors from the
Greater Pennsylvania Military Pres-
ervation Association out of Altoona,
museum staff, and volunteers camp
out on the grounds providing a
glimpse into the recent past. The
event is held intentionally in July as
the intense heat and humidity were
trademark elements for every per-
son who served in Vietnam, says
museum educator Joe Horvath.
In addition to the weather, the
lush undergrowth and thick tree
canopy surrounding Spring Creek
beside the museum further repre-
sents an element of the Central High-
land jungle that soldiers fought in.
Greeted by a sign that reads Wel-
come to the Republic of Vietnam,
on which veterans are encouraged to
write their name, rank, and dates of
service, visitors will experience a
time-capsule presentation of a unit in
the field of war. Visitors will be in-
vited to go out on a short range re-
con patrol with a point-man. Long
trousers and good shoes are strongly
encouraged.
During a 2 p.m. tactical demon-
stration each day, the audience can
expect to hear gunfire as well as
communication relays between the
firebase and squad leader over au-
thentic field radios.
New to the event this year is Doug
Irwin, a local folk guitarist who will
entertain the troops and public.
Irwin served for real in the 82nd
Airborne Division with the 1/505th
Parachute Infantry Regiment. Al-
though a veteran, he will be dressed
as a green recruit set to perform at 1
PM on Saturday following recordings
of the Armed Forces Radio Network
on the camp intercom. Doug said he
will "be playing some songs from the
era, to stay within the appropriate
time frame, and a few originals that
focus on soldiers and veterans of that
time as well."
The bivouac opens to the public at
10 a.m. each day. Patrol ambush
demonstrations are scheduled for 2
p.m..
The Pennsylvania Military Mu-
seum and 28th Infantry Division
Shrine is administered by the Penn-

EDWARDSVILLE A fire-
fighter was injured battling a
blaze at a Main Street business
early Saturday morning.
Capt. Ray Shinko of the Ed-
wardsville Fire Department was
knocked to the ground after
touching an electrified chain-
link fence while fighting the fire
at LocalOffice, a computer ser-
vice and sales company at 663
Main St., according to Fire
Chief Ray King.
A section of the buildings
metal-sided walls peeled away,
carrying an electric current into
the fence. The chief said the fire
started apparently near an elec-
trical service box at the rear of
the business, which is housed
on the first floor of the two-sto-
ry building.
Shinko was not knocked un-
conscious by the shock but was
hospitalized overnight for ob-
servation, King said.
According to King, the fire
was first reported at 3:34 a.m.
by Edwardsville Police Officer
John Fronzoni, who noticed it
while driving by on patrol. Fire-
fighters arriving on scene found
the building fully charged
with flames concentrated along
the rear wall of the building,
King said.
Approximately 50firefighters
from seven fire companies
joined efforts in fighting the
fire, alternating their efforts fre-
quently due to high temper-
atures Saturday morning, King
said. It took them about two
hours to fully extinguish the
fire.
In addition to the first-floor
computer business, King said
the building was home to two
apartments.
Firefighters believe one
apartment was vacant. The oth-
er was occupied but the resi-
dents werenot homeat thetime
of the fire. King said he believes
the tenants, possibly a mother
and daughter, were out of town
Saturday and that Kris Leeds,
the owner of the building and
the computer business, is at-
tempting to contact the ten-
ants.
Leeds didnot immediatelyre-
turn a phone message Saturday.
King said State Police Fire
Marshal Ron Jarocha was called
into investigate the cause of the
fire, which was undetermined
Saturday. Firefighters donot be-
lieve the cause of the fire is sus-
picious, King said.

WILKES-BARRE City council
will again be asked to vote this
week on a resolution to award a
$650,000 contract to Schneider
Electric as a sole source provider
for 62 surveillance cameras at the
Intermodal
Transporta-
tionCenter.
But theis-
sue is far
from being
resolved.
Council
pulled the
item from
itsagendain
June be-
cause coun-
cil members
Tony George andMaureenLavelle
questioned the lack of paperwork
explaining what the city was pur-
chasing.
Only four of the five council
members were present in June
George Brownwas absent.
George said he intends to ask
that the itembe pulled again from
the agenda because he has several
unansweredquestions.
At theJunecouncil meeting, city
Administrator Marie McCormick
said the purchase would be a sole
source procurement, noting that
Schneider is the only vendor avail-
able toprovide the cameras andin-
stall them to tie into the existing
camera system. George said he
wanted to see more information
about the contract.
What are we paying $650,000
for? George askedat the meeting.
Responding to questions from
the public as to why the contract
wasnt publicly advertised, the city
said it didnt solicit bids for the
work for a couple of reasons.
McCormickandLouLau, thecitys
director of information technolo-
gy, said the new cameras must be
integrated with the existing sur-
veillance system and Schneider is
the only company able to provide
that service.
Schneider installed the existing
camera system in the city in 2009.
The company was then known as
TAC.
J.R. Roberts, owner of J.R. Ro-
berts Security Strategies of Savan-
nah, Ga., said last week that if the
contract were bid, the city would
havereceivedaminimumof fourto
five responses maybe more.

WYOMING The Wyoming
Farmers Market got off to a
slow start Saturday, but pa-
trons said they didnt mind;
theylikehavingaproducemar-
ket in their neighborhood.
I love coming here, said
Terri Malast of West Wyoming.
This makes it really conve-
nient. Wilkes-Barres kind of a
pain, because when you go
there its hard to find parking,
or youhave topayfor parking.
This is nice; I can walk up
here andwalk home, saidCar-
ol Coutant, who lives just
downthe street frommarket in
Butler Street Park at the cor-
ner of Butler Street and 8th
Street.
Coutant said she also avoids
Wilkes-Barres Farmers Mar-
ket because of the difficulty of
finding parking.
Ive been to the one at the
Arena because they have park-
ing, she said. But that
doesnt really have much more
thanthis here. They have more
stands but its the same thing. I
would say the variety here is
just as good as the one up
there.
That variety came exclusive-
ly from Marty OMalia Farms
of Plains Township, the only
produce vendor at Saturdays
market. OMalia offered a se-
lection of fruits and vegetables
from common staples garlic,
corn and early season toma-
toes to more exotic offerings
like cantaloupe andcousa, a Li-
byan variety of squash.
Its a nice market in a beau-
tiful setting here, so hopefully
things will pick up as the sum-
mer progresses, said Sherry

NESCOPECK TWP. The roots of
American blues twanged and cried
through the air in Nescopeck Township
Saturday, as Rory Block performed at the
Briggs FarmBlues Festival.
Block, a blues veteran who has been
touringfor morethan25years, openedthe
second night of the Nescopeck Township
festival. She was joined by the Butterfield
Blues Band, Moreland and Arbuckle and
Bernard Allison on the main stage Satur-
day, theseconddayof thetwo-dayfestival.
Opening with blues pioneer Robert
Johnsons Crossroads Blues, Block cov-
ered blues standards, including Death
Letter Blues and Preachin Blues by
Son House, Ill be Bound by Muddy Wa-
ters and Me and the Devil by Robert
Johnson, interspersed with her own com-
positions.
Singing with a powerful voice that
swings from sweet to gravely, Block plays
traditional blues in the spirit of the art
forms founders on a steel-stringed acous-
ticshesometimes plucks andslaps sohard
it makes her fingers bleed.
The humidity is turning the strings in-

of-sync with her image.

PARK CITY, UTAH
Falling tombstone kills boy
A
4-year-old Utah boy was trying to
make other children smile for a
photograph when a 6-foot-tall tomb-
stone that weighed hundreds of pounds
fell on him and killed him at a historic
cemetery, family members and friends
said.
Carson Dean Cheney was with his
family in the resort town of Park City
on Thursday evening when the head-
stone toppled onto him after some
metal connecting it to its pedestal
broke, the boys grandmother Geri
Gibbs told The Associated Press.
The boys father, Zac Cheney, does
photography in his spare time and was
taking portraits of another family at the
Glenwood Cemetery, said Curtis Mor-
ley, a co-worker and family friend.
They chose the old cemetery because
of its extensive landscaping, he said.
PAMPLONA, SPAIN
6 injured in bull running
One elderly thrill-seeker was gored in
a leg and five others slightly injured as
thousands of adrenaline-fueled runners
raced ahead of six fighting bulls in the
streets of the northern Spanish city of
Pamplona in the first running of the
bulls of this years San Fermin festival,
officials said Saturday.
Runners, in traditional white cloth-
ing and red kerchiefs around their
necks, tripped over each other or fell in
the mad daredevil annual rush along
early morning dew-moistened slippery
streets to the citys bull ring.
One youth got the top of his shirt
and kerchief caught on a bulls horn,
inches from his face, and was dragged
several yards (meters) along the
ground, but was seen to get up and run
away.
CAIRO
Leader to visit Saudi Arabia
Egyptian President Mohammed
Morsi will travel to Saudi Arabia on
Wednesday on his first official trip
abroad since being sworn in, a move
suggesting the Islamist leader wants to
reassure the kingdom that strong rela-
tions are a priority.
Some Saudi officials are believed to
have supported Morsis former electo-
ral rival, a former prime minister and
ex-military general, in hopes of contin-
uing the warm relationship once
shared with Egypts ousted leader
Hosni Mubarak. Saudi Arabias King
Abdullah invited Morsi to strengthen
relations.
LOS ANGELES
Cat parasite-suicide link
A wily parasite well known for influ-
encing the behavior of its animal hosts
appears to play a troubling role in hu-
mans, increasing the risk of suicide
among women who are infected, new
research shows.
Researchers estimate that T. gondii
is carried by 10 percent to 20 percent of
Americans, who can get it by changing
litter used by infected cats or eating
undercooked meat from an animal
carrying the bug.
Despite its prevalence in humans,
the protozoan is most famous for the
strange effect it has on the brains of
rats and mice.
When a rat or a mouse is infected, it
suddenly flips from being petrified of
cats to being attracted to them. The
parasite has been linked to an in-
creased risk of schizophrenia and bipo-
lar disorder in humans. A new study
confirms the link by examining in-
fection rates and suicide attempts in
thousands of women in Denmark.

TRIPOLI, Libya Jubilant Libyans
chose a newparliament Saturday in their
first nationwide vote in decades, but vio-
lence and protests in the restive east un-
derscoredthe challenges aheadas the oil-
rich North African nation struggles to re-
store stability after the ouster of long-
time dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
One person was killed and two wound-
ed in a gunbattle between security forces
and anti-election protesters in the east-
ern city of Ajdabiya, according to the
head of the election commission. Nouri
al-Abari said the polling center targeted
by the protesters was later reopened and
voting commenced normally.
The shooting followed a spate of at-
tacks on polling centers in the eastern
half of the country, which was the cradle
of the revolution against Gadhafi but has
become increasingly angry over the per-
ceived domination of power by rivals in
Tripoli.
The vote capped a chaotic transition
that has exposed major fault lines rang-
ing fromthe east-west divide to efforts by
Islamists to assert power.
Lines formed outside polling centers
more than an hour before they opened in
the capital Tripoli, with policemen and
soldiers standing guard and searching
voters and election workers before they
entered.
I have a strange but beautiful feeling
today, dentist Adam Thabet said as he
waited his turn to cast a ballot. We are
free at last after years of fear. We knew
this day would come, but we were afraid
it would take a lot longer.
The election for a 200-seat parliament,
which will be tasked with forming a new
government, was a key milestone after a
bitter civil war that ended Gadhafis four-
decade rule. It was the first time Libyans
have voted for a parliament since 1964,
five years before Gadhafis military coup
that toppled the monarchy.
But the desert nation of 6 million peo-
ple has fallen into turmoil since Gadhafi
was killed by rebel forces in his home city
of Sirte in late October. Armed militias
operate independently, refusing to be
brought under the um-
brella of a national ar-
my, and deepening re-
gional and tribal divi-
sions erupt into vio-
lence with alarming
frequency.
Growing resentment
in the east and the in-
ability to rein in unruly
militias have threat-
ened to tear the coun-
try apart.
Some easterners boy-
cotted the election and
protesters torched bal-
lot boxes in 14 out of 19
polling centers in Ajda-
biya, said Ibrahim
Fayed, a former rebel commander in the
area.
Gunmen shot down a helicopter carry-
ing polling materials near the eastern
city of Benghazi, birthplace of last years
revolution, killingone electionworker on
board, said a spokesman for the ruling
National Transitional Council.

KABUL, Afghanistan The
U.S. designation Saturday of Af-
ghanistan as its newest major
non-NATOally amounts to a po-
litical statement of support for
the countrys long-term stability
and solidifies close defense coop-
eration after American combat
troops withdraw in 2014.
We see this as a powerful com-
mitment to Afghanistans fu-
ture, U.S. Secretary of State Hill-
ary Rodham Clinton said at a
news conference during a brief
stop in the Afghan capital. We
are not even imagining abandon-
ing Afghanistan, she said in the
grand courtyard of the presiden-
tial palace after talks with Presi-
dent Hamid Karzai.
From Kabul, she and Karzai
headed separately to Japan for an
international conference on Af-
ghan civilian assistance. Donors
planned to pledge $16 billion
over four years, with the U.S.
share not immediately clear, ac-
cording to a U.S. diplomatic offi-
cial speaking onconditionof ano-
nymity ahead of the official an-
nouncement Sunday.
The non-NATO ally declara-
tion allows for streamlined de-
fense cooperation, including ex-
pedited purchasing ability of
American equipment and easier
export control regulations. Af-
ghanistans military, heavily de-
pendent onAmericanandforeign
assistance, already enjoys many
of these benefits. The non-NATO
ally status guarantees it will con-
tinue to do so.
Afghanistan is the 15th such
country to receive the designa-
tion. Others include Australia,
Egypt, Israel and Japan. Afghan-
istans neighbor Pakistan was the
last nation to gain the status, in
2004.
Clintonsaidprogress was com-
ing incrementally but consistent-
ly to Afghanistan after decades of
conflict. The security situation
is more stable, she said.

MOSCOWIntense flood-
ing in the Black Sea region of
southern Russia killed 103
people after torrential rains
dropped nearly a foot of water,
forcing many to scramble out
of their beds for refuge in trees
and on roofs, officials said Sat-
urday.
Many people were asleep
when the flooding hit over-
night in the Krasnodar region,
and the water rushed into the
area around the hard-hit town
of Krimskwithsuchspeedand
volume that rumors emerged
that local officials had opened
a nearby water reservoir. Mud-
dy water coursed through
streets and homes, in some
cases highenoughtoflowover
the hoods of cars and even as
high as rooftops, according to
witnesses.
About 5,000 residences
were flooded, the Krasnodar
governor was quotedas telling
the Interfax news agency.
The Interior Ministry gave
the death toll as 103 on Satur-
day evening, according to Rus-
sian news agencies; a regional
ministry spokesmansaidearli-
er that at least 67 of the deaths
were around Krimsk, about
750 miles south of Moscow.
Five people were electrocuted
in the Black Sea coastal city of
Gelendzhik after a transfor-
mer fell into the water, state

The annual event, which has
attracted thousands to Gettys-
burg for decades, isnt fought on
the actual 1863 battlefield but on
a farm about seven miles away,
andoftennot onthe actual battle
dates of July1-3. Andthentheres
the play-by-play froman announ-
cer. Still, Twitter adds a new di-
mension of social media and in-
stant communication for about
2,000re-enactors, whotakegreat
pains to achieve authenticity in
their portrayal of 19th century
warfare.
But some historians say they
dont mind adding social media
to the mix, especially if it helps
bring one of the nations most fa-
mous battles tolifefor anewgen-
eration.

He said proprietary sourcing
couldbe a validreasonfor not bid-
ding the contract and contractors
sometimes develop a delivery
stream or technology system
thats not compatible with other
systems, precluding other compa-
nies frombeingable toparticipate
in the competitive bid process.
But, Roberts said, if the work is
not bid and no specifications are
advertised, other companies are
excluded from the process. He
said without a competitive bid-
ding process, the city cant deter-
mine if it could have saved any
money.
George wants to see warranty
George said he met with mem-
bers of the administration staff
last week and he was told the city
would lose its warranty on the ex-
isting system if another vendor
was chosen to do the Intermodal
work. George said he will ask to
see the warranty.
George did not say if the war-
ranty for the original system was
still in effect. George said he met
with Mayor Tom Leighton, Drew
McLaughlin, administrative coor-
dinator, Greg Barrouk, economic
development director, and Tim
Henry, city attorney.
They told me if we use any of
those other vendors, we will lose
our warranty, Georgesaid. They
said its Schneiders network and
infrastructure.
George said he is still research-
ing the matter and he doesnt
knowif he will be ready to vote on
the contract on Thursday.
Questions remain
J.R. Roberts said Saturday that
warrantiesareusuallyonetothree
years max, after which a service
agreement would be put in place.
Roberts said if the city advertised
the Intermodal work it would at
least be able to verify if its getting
the best possible price from
Schneider.
By not advertising the project,
Roberts said there is no systemof
checks and balances.
So the question to be asked is:
why wouldnt the city want to be
assured it is getting the best price
for the 62 cameras for the Inter-
modal? Roberts said $650,000 for
the installation and integration of
62 cameras seems highly expen-
sive.
It seems like there is a cozy re-
lationship somewhere, he said.
It all sounds rather troubling. It
just doesnt sound right to me.
Roberts said the surveillance
camera business has become
highly competitive in recent
years, actually driving down the
costs of cameras and other equip-
ment.
If the city asked Schneider to
provide specifications, then the
workcouldhavebeenadvertised,
he said. Then, and only then,
would the city know for sure that
its getting a good deal.
DVTel responds; citys choice
Cathy McHugh, director of
global marketing at DVTel, said
other companies can install their
products.
We work with integrators,
McHugh said. And we sell our
products to more than one inte-
grator.
McHugh said the companies
they sell to must be certifiedto as-
sure DVTel that their cameras and
equipment are installed properly.
Schneider is one of those certified
companies, McHugh said.
Thereareothers ValuedAdd-
ed Retailers who are certified as
well, she said.
McHughsaidtheworkcouldbe
put out for bid, but the city would
need to be very clear about what
was neededandprovideall details
about the systemthat is already in
place.
It would be the citys choice,
shesaid, regardingadvertisingthe
project.
McHugh said if the city would
choose to switch companies,
DVTel requires an authorized
change request form advising
themthat they have done so in or-
der to support themin the future.
She said service and support
agreements are typically a one-
yeartermanddifferent companies
(VARs) can sell them different
ways by month, by channel, an-
nually, etc.
I am not sure of the citys ar-
rangement for its warranty with
Schneider when the period
ends, howit is paid, et cetera, she
said.
McHughsaidDVTel workswith
a range of integrators/installers
worldwide. She said certified
means they are trained on DVTel
systems and certified to install
and support them.
In short, if the city changes in-
stallers, DVTel needs a written
consent form from the city that
they want to change their integra-
tor of record, McHugh said. If
thecitydecides tobuytheir future
cameras/upgrades, et cetera,
from another company and they
want DVTel cameras, we require
that company to be certified.
At that point, McHugh said a
new SSA would go in place, with
the newcompany.
Andif they want their previous
cameras/systems to be under
warranty, they need to discuss
that with the new company as
well, she said.
Schneider, formerly known as
TACof Dallas, Texas, wasselected
in 2009 by the Hawkeye Security
Systems board to design, install
and maintain the citys $2 million
150-digital camera surveillance
system. There were 13 proposals
received before TACwas chosen.
McCormick said the contract
with Schneider would be done in
two phases each costing
$325,000. Thefundingfor thepro-
ject is provided by state gaming
funds and Federal Transit Agency
funds $325,000 from each
source, McCormick said.

OMalia. She said the farm has
runa standat the market since its
inception three summers ago,
and that more vendors will likely
join soon. Perhaps the high heat
kept them away Saturday, she
speculated.
OMalia said the farm could
use the business because of the
losses it sustained in the Septem-
ber flood.
The timingwas very bad, she
said. We hadnt picked any of
our fall crops. We lost our pump-
kins; our canning tomatoes.
Thats peak season for us. So we
want people to come over here
and support us and hopefully the
market will continue to grow.
In addition to OMalias stand,
food vendors offered potato pan-
cakes and lemonade in the shade
of the parks many trees.
Gloria Kolbeck of Popcorn
Etc., a Tunkhannock-based gour-
met popcorn vendor, said the
stores stand at the market will
help the business break into a dif-
ferent market.
It seems like its going to be a
real nice thing to do over the next
couple of weeks, she said.
Were doing real well. Im glad
we decided to do this.
Pittston resident Jacqueline
Troy rounded out the markets
vendors, selling quilted hand-
bags she made herself.
I heard last year it was pretty
busy; thats why I decidedtotry it
out, Troy said.

Continued from Page 3A
LAURELRUN The course on
the Giants Despair Hill Climb
hasnt changed, but a section
near the bottomhas been cleared
and leveled for better access and
viewing of the event next week-
end.
Gone are the dirt mounds and
brush along a quarter-mile
stretch of East Northampton
Street near the starting line.
Actually we did it for the spec-
tators, said Darryl Danko, a
competitor and coordinator of
the Sports Car Club of America
time trial.
Thousands are expected to
turn out for the 106th hill climb,
the longest running one in the
United States, that serves as the
major fundraiser for the bor-
oughs fire department.
It wasnt too fan friendly, ac-
knowledged Danko of the former
condition of the borough-owned
land.
A 10- to 12-foot high mound
used to stand on the spot where
he and John D. Mosley Jr. stood
across from the Dickerson Street
entrance to Laurel Run Estate
Mobile Home Park. The ground
behind the mound was covered
with picker bushes, weeds and
sumac trees.
You couldnt see the road,
said Mosley, Laurel Run borough
fire chief.
About a month ago, the bor-
ough, its fire department and Al
Bonkstartedworkonthe project.
Bonkdonatedhis timeandequip-
ment, said Danko.
Theres more room to walk
along the southbound lane in
which the drivers race and the
ground has been graded making
it suitable for people to set up
chairs and tents. The borough
has plans for the land where peo-
ple used to live until Luzerne
County bought their properties
due to a mine fire underground.
About seven or eight years ago
the county turned over the land
to the borough, Mosley said.
The only thingthat it couldbe
used for is recreation, he said.
But for now the focus is on the
hill climb.
We should have at least 80 en-
trants, said Danko. Its capped at
100, he added.
Danko has his sights on win-
ning a seventh title, making him
king of the hill climb winding
around five turns, including the
110-degree hairpin named the
Devils Elbow.

Drivers race against the clock on
the nearly one mile course.
Timed runs will be held from10
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on July 14 and
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on July 15.

Darryl Danko, left, and John D. Mosley Jr. stand along East North-
ampton Street in an area that has been improved for spectators

huge dirt mounds and clear brush.
LOS ANGELES - Some scien-
tists have likened it to voodoo,
while Albert Einstein called it
just plain "spooky."
In the bizarre realm of quan-
tum mechanics, entanglement
is the phenomenon in which
two seemingly distinct parti-
cles control each other in ways
that defy common physical
sense. For instance, when an
atom located in Beijing is mea-
sured by an observer, it will ex-
hibit the exact opposite quali-
ties of its entangled counter-
part in Boston.
In the 1930s, the idea of en-
tanglement seemed so absurd
that Einstein derided it as
"spooky action at a distance"
and argued that it revealed seri-
ous shortcomings in quantum
theory.
Today, however, entangle-
ment stands as the essential
feature of quantum mechanics,
and scientists say its exploita-
tioncouldleadto extraordinary
leaps in computing, communi-
cations and cryptology. Aquan-
tum computer, they say, would
take seconds to solve problems
that todays PCs would take bil-
lions of years to parse. Govern-
ments, financial institutions
and armies, meanwhile, are in-
trigued by the potential for se-
cure long-distance communica-
tions that would instantly re-
veal attempts at hacking.
Those technologies may still
be sometime in the future, but
researchers in Germany have
taken a step closer to their real-
ization. In a report Friday in the
journal Science, physicists at
the Ludwig-Maximilians-Uni-
versity in Munich said they had
demonstrated that two atoms
separated by a distance of
about 65 feet could become en-
tangled and trigger an alert to
announce that they had done
so.
To visualize the phenom-
enon, imagine two boxes that
each contain a single coin, said
study co-author Wenjamin Ro-
senfeld. In quantum mechan-
ics, neither coin has a defined
orientation - heads or tails - un-
til an observer opens one of the
boxes and sees which side is
facing up. At that instant, the
second coin will be found, with-
out fail, to be lying in the exact
opposite position, no matter
how far away it is.
While other experiments
have successfully entangled
atoms, photons and diamond
crystals, this was the first to do
so at a long distance and in-
clude a signal, or herald, to let
scientists know that entangle-
ment had been achieved. Such
a signal - in this case, a message
on a computer screen - is cru-
cial to the further study of en-
tanglement and its future prac-
tical application, researchers
said.
Entanglement idea
is boon to physicists
The property of particles
could boost computing and
other fields, scientists say.

HARGILL, Texas A father
and two sons shot at a federal im-
migration agent parked outside
their home along the Texas bor-
der this week because they were
afraid someone was going to
break in, a relative told a newspa-
per.
U.S. Immigrations and Cus-
toms Enforcement agent Kelton
Harrison was shot in the back
early Tuesday, when prosecutors
say Pedro Alvarez and his sons,
ages 18 and16, fired at Harrisons
vehicle and chased the agent as
he sped away. Prosecutors say
Harrison had been watching for
ananticipateddrugdeal. His con-
dition is improving.
Amparo Ramirez, the family
matriarch, told the San Antonio
Express-News (http://bit.ly/
PnQNxI) in a story published
Saturday that Harrison was
parked on the next-door property
and that no attempt was made to
notify home owners of surveil-
lance activity.
They thought it was some-
body breaking in, Ramirez said.
The ICE didnt identify itself.
The kids explained what they
did.
Alvarez, 41, and his 18-year-old
son, Arnoldo Alvarez, are
charged with assault of a federal
officer and knowingly using and
carrying a firearm during a vio-
lent crime. His younger son has
been charged with attempted
capital murder in a state district
court.
A criminal complaint alleges
that the 16-year-old, whose iden-
tity is being withheld because of
his age, firedabout six shots from
a .22 caliber rifle and that Arnol-
do Alvarado fired numerous
shots from a 9mm handgun as
they rode in a vehicle being dri-
ven by their father. The vehicle
had its headlights off in the pre-
dawndarkness as it drove by Har-
rison, according to the com-
plaint.

ries of some of the masters she
met during her set. Block de-
scribed Son House as a preacher
who sometimes had trouble ex-
pressing to others his love of the
blues at a time when it was still
considered the devils music.
He taught me that blues and
Gospel are really married, she
said.
Thoseartists represent agener-
ationthat is rapidly disappearing;
2011 saw the deaths of legends
Pinetop Perkins and Honeyboy
Edwards (who headlined the
2010 Briggs FarmBlues Festival.)
Block said keeping their work
alive andrelevant has become her
lifes work.
To meet some of the original
players and some of the innova-
tors is just a spectacular thing,
Block said. And when they are
part of ages and theyre gone, it
leaves us with a terrible sense of
loss, but it leaves us with a tre-
mendous desire to keep the tradi-
tion going.
Block has also recorded and
flaxenhair, Blockhardlylooks the
part of the traditional blues musi-
cian, but she said her style grew
out of her upbringing in Green-
wich Village, a setting where
there was a lot of very raw acous-
tic roots music all around.
Her father, who ran a sandal
shop in the New York City neigh-
borhood during the 1960s, was
friends with Pete Seeger, and
John Sebastian of The Lovin
Spoonful lived nearby.
At 15, she left home to seek out
and study under some of the liv-
ing masters of the blues.
Now 62 and a master in her
ownright, Block has devotedher-
self torecordingtributealbumsto
the artists she studied under. She
has recorded tributes to Son
House and Mississippi Fred
McDowell, and her latest, a trib-
ute to the Rev. Gary Davis, debut-
ed at number 3 on the Living
Blues radio charts in June.
It really represents my lifes
work, and the source of my inspi-
ration, Block said. Its a sort of a
thank you to the unbelievable
players that I got to meet in per-
son.
Block shared personal memo-
shared the stage with more con-
temporary artists like Bonnie
Raitt, Stevie Wonder, Bruce
HornesbyandTaj Mahal. Shesaid
her approach to song-writing is
difficult to describe Its hard to
tell somebody else how to love
something that you personally
love, she said but that emotion
is its key.
Soulfulness is part of what
makes something great, more
than talent, she said. Part of
what makes something great is
the depth of feeling thats embod-
ied in it.
And its soul that has keeps her
going. At an age when some
might think of retiring, Block
tours regionally almost constant-
ly, makes occasional trips cross-
country and tours in Europe once
a year.
I always thinkthat Imgoingto
retire and I always keep going,
she said. I always say Im going
to settle down and retire, and it
only just morphs into doing more
tours and doing more record-
ings.

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
Richard Briggs, founder of the Briggs Farm Blues Festival, speaks
to his crew on the phone backstage at the event Saturday.
NESCOPECK Richard
Briggs was born into a family of
farmers and grew up to become
the ninth generation proprietor
of a 350-acre estate founded in
the 1760s. It was a desire to
keep that farm in his family,
Briggs said, that inspired him to
found the Briggs Farm Blues
Festival 15 years ago.
My son and grandson both
still live here, Briggs said back-
stage at the blues festival Sat-
urday. Its just a way to keep
the farm going, and keep it in
the family.
Besides providing inspiration
for his descendants to carry on
the family business, the annual
festival provides financial sup-
port that allows Briggs to con-
tinue operating his farm, where
he raises corn, soybeans, hay
and eggs used in the production
of flu vaccines, the other 51
weeks of the year.
But the festival was never just
about money, Briggs said.
The act of putting on the
festival is an act of art for me,
Briggs said. Its putting on a
show.
Built on a love of blues-based
rock n roll fixed in his teenage
years, Briggs said his interest in
the roots of the blues grew deep-
er as he grew older. His interest
in exploring the history of the
art form has led him to recruit
older musicians like Louisiana
Red, Big Jack Johnson and Da-
vid Honeyboy Edwards, who at
94 years old performed one of
his last shows at the 2010 Briggs
Farm Festival.
One of the reasons why I get
the old-timers here is because of
the connection to the history of
the blues, he said. Finding out
more about the old players,
going way back when they still
had plantations. They were
chopping cotton in the South
before mechanization. It was
still very close to slavery in
those days, and thats where the
blues started.
The festival has become a
larger and more involved affair
over the last 15 years. This
years festival attracted about
5,000 concert-goers, about 1,500
of whom camped overnight at
the farm, expanding from one to
two days, allowing camping and
adding a second, Back Porch
stage where the audience can
have greater interaction with
artists during their sets.
But Briggs said the concert
remains a family affair, orga-
nized by himself, a small staff
and his family members.
Size is not the only thing
about it, he said. The down
home good vibe aspect of it is
really good.
Laura McCourt of Philadel-
phia, attending her fifth festival
at the farm, agreed with Briggs
depiction of the festival.
The atmosphere is just so
laid back, and it brings together
different age groups and gener-
ations, she said. Just for the
love of the music.

thecountryonlyworsenedSaturday.
Temperatures of more than 100
degrees were forecast in Philadel-
phia and excessive heat warnings
were issued for several states in the
Midwest as the days of smothering
heat piled on, accompanied by se-
vere storms that have knocked out
power in spots fromMichigan to the
East Coast. Most notable was last
weekends sudden and severe storm
that drenched the mid-Atlantic re-
gion, where thousands remained
without electricity a week later. At
least 24 deaths have been blamed on
the heat and several others on the
weather or a combinationof the two.
Hundreds of thousands remained
without power Saturday, mostly in
West Virginia, Ohio and Michigan.

ing to adjust it. The doors were left
wide open at a half dozen locations
around the two-block-wide under-
ground station.
Its so hot I feel like I want to
faint, said Betty De la Rosa, 19, of
the Bronx, who was working at a sta-
tion doughnut shop.
Record temperatures were set in
several places, including Indianapo-
lis, Washington and Milwaukee. In
central Arkansas, Russellville reac-
hed 106 degrees Friday, breaking a
record set in 1964.
The heat was also blamed for at
least 24 deaths.
Nine people in Maryland have
died of heat-related causes in recent
days, the state said. Authorities in
Chicago said heat was a factor in six
deaths there, mostly among older
people. Three deaths in Wisconsin,
two in Tennessee and one in Penn-
sylvania were also reported to be
heat-related.
In Ohio, a man in his 70s and two
women one in her late 60s, the
other in her 80s were found dead
this week, said Dr. Jeff Lee, a deputy
county coroner in the central part of
the state. He said all three were suf-
fering from heart disease but died
from stress caused by high temper-
atures intheir houses. Temperatures
inside were stifling, recorded in the
90s in two cases, with windows shut
and no ventilation. The houses
lacked electricity because of recent
power outages.
If they had gotten cooling, we
would have expected them to sur-
vive, he said.
Relief was on the way in the form
of a cold front as the weekend ends,
but forecasters expected it to bring
more severe weather, too.

The high temperature of 92 degrees
Saturday morning failed to break the
record of 98 set in 1988, according to
the National Weather Service in
Binghamton, N.Y.
The high temperature was recorded
at 11:46 a.m. at the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton International Airport.
The low for the day was 68 and that
occurred at 5:06 a.m.
The normal values for the day are 82
and 61, according to the NWS.
Thunderstorms that moved through
the region helped lower the temper-
ature, but they also caused power
outages in the southern part of Lu-
zerne County and in Mountain Top.
PPL Electric Utilities reported 17,542
customers were without power as of
6:13 p.m.
PPL reported the heaviest hit areas
were: West Hazleton with 5,359 cus-
tomers affected; Wright Township,
4,538; Butler Township, 4,124; and
Sugarloaf 3,232.

for years and offered a matter-of-
fact explanation.
Somebody has to do it, he
said.
Approximately 75 people are
needed to set up, pour the beer,
make the cheese steaks and
french fries, sell the tickets, clean
upandeverythingelseassociated
with the bazaar expected to raise
$25,000 in funds for the hose
company.
It almost didnt happen with-
out Dan Wegrzynowicz.
Nobody wanted to run it, he
said Thursday afternoon in the
shade of a tent as the temper-
ature approached 90 degrees and
the final details were being at-
tendedtoa fewhours before the 6
p.m. start.
Wegrzynowicz, a firefighter for
16 years, got involved at a meet-
ing earlier this year.
I raised my hand and said, We
at least have to do (it) one more
year, he said.
The decisionhas tobe made by
the end of February in order to
book the bands and start the
planning process, he said.
Wegrzynowicz, who served as
chairman for the bazaar, took off
two days of work. Co-chairman
Chris Weaver said he works
around his work schedule.
At 43, Wegrzynowicz is one of
the younger volunteers. Weaver
is 36.
Many of the others helping out
are in the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Weaver followed the lead of his
60-year-old dad, Gary.
He was chairman of the ba-
zaar years ago, said the younger
Weaver. He taught me howto do
it.
Weaver looked at his participa-
tion as a way to give back and la-
mented the lack of kids getting
involved in the fire company and
its bazaar. I wish more people
would volunteer for their com-
munity, he said.
His dad rattled off a list of men
who answered the calls for emer-
gencies andbazaars HarryMan-
gan, Lenny Price, Uzdella, Gary
Makarczyk, Frank McKenzie,
Lou Sewell, Stanley Browski, To-
ny Truskoski and the late Gene
Lasecki, who was township fire
chief.
He said their efforts helped
double the size of the fire hall in
the 1980s, adding a ground-floor
kitchen, and social room and a
basement garage with a truck to
pull their water rescue crafts.
The township owns the front half
of the building with a single bay
for twotrucks, anoffice andsmall
storage areas.
Our first bazaar was across
thestreet, saidtheolder Weaver.
The former St. Casimir church
allowed use of its property. The
firefighters built the stands on
the church lot and cooked the
food and washed the pots at the
hose company, Weaver ex-
plained.
The grass lots since been used
for parking for the bazaar.
Im expecting a good turn-
out, said Chris Weaver. People
come fromfar away to attend the
social event and reunite with old
friends.
For more than two decades
Tess Urban of Lee Park Avenue, a
member of the hose companys
Womens Auxiliary, has been
bringing a group to work at the
bazaar.
Her daughter Mary Ann Rom-
pola and son-in-law Randy and
their children Sarah, Emily, and
Ryan traveled from Indiana to
make potato pancakes. Another
daughter, Ellie Urban, grand-
daughter Angela Genoese and
her boyfriend traveled from out
of state and pitched in. So did Ur-
bans friend, Sabine Thomas.
Weve done this for 25 years,
since the kids were little, said
Urban. Its a tradition.
It ended with the hose compa-
nys final bazaar. But a new one
couldbeginwithplans toconsoli-
date the townships fire compa-
nies and hold one large festival in
a few years.

Bazaar headed up the final event last week.
HANOVER TWP. Firefight-
ers will some day be answering
the call from a centrally located
headquarters along the Sans
Souci Parkway.
Plans are being made to build
the facility on the former Square
H lumber company site, but no
date has been set yet to break
ground.
Fire Chief Jeff Tudgay said
none of the six companies
throughout the township will be
eliminated.
Were putting companies in
one location, he said Saturday.
The departments cover a
22-square-mile area with every-
thing under the sun you can
imagine, said the chief. The
township has residential neigh-
borhoods, shopping centers,
manufacturing facilities, the
Susquehanna River and Inter-
state 81 and other major road-
ways running through it.
The move has to do with
economics and staffing, ex-
plained Tudgay.
We dont have the manpow-
er, he said.
Last year the Hanover Area
Fire District was created to serve
as the parent company and to
act as the applicant for grants,
he added.
Funding is being sought for
the construction. The local share
gaming funds are being pursued
as a source, he said.
The Breslau Hose Co. No. 5,
Franklin Hose Co. No. 4 and the
Goodwill Hose Co. No. 1 will
relocate to the planned Sans
Souci facility, said Tudgay. It will
be manned around the clock.
Franklin, which used to be on
Lee Park Avenue, is stationed
with Breslau on First Street.
Goodwill will move from Center
Street in the Hanover Green
section.
Newtown Hose Co. No. 2 will
remain on Raymond Drive.
Askam Hose Co. No. 6 on
McGoverns Hill Road will stay
somewhere in that area, said
Tudgay.
Hanover set to consolidate 6 fire companies

Christopher Kersey said several
goals of the new government
have already come to fruition.
He noted:
An ethics commission has
been set up to police the coun-
tys first ethics code, with sever-
al complaints already filed.
Council is publicly inter-
viewing applicants for outside
authorities and boards. In the
past, names of appointees ap-
peared on commissioner agen-
das with no public discussion.
The public also heard op-
tions and details about the 2012
amended budget the same time
as council. In the past, commis-
sioners had public budget hear-
ings but hammered out the ac-
tual budget in private.
I think youre going to have
much more honest budgeting
under the new government,
Kersey said.
Lawtons recommendation to
cancel county funding for the
Hotel Sterling demolition and
the Market Street Square train
stationrenovationalsoshowthe
manager is making nonpolitical
decisions based on whats best
for the county another home
rule objective, Kersey said.
Kingston Mayor Jim Hagger-
ty, a charter drafter, said he is
extremely pleased with the
new government after six
months.
The manager is making pro-
fessional decisions about day-
to-day operations without re-
gard to politics.
The newcouncil is a tremen-
dous improvement over the
former three-commissioner
board, he said. Council mem-
bers from both political major
political parties and an Inde-
pendent have proven to be dili-
gent, transparent and largely
non-partisan, he said.
More citizens are involved in
county government through ap-
pointments to outside boards,
and most of these volunteers
wouldnt have a chance to serve
when appointments were con-
trolled by two majority commis-
sioners, he said.
Division heads
The appointment of division
heads must be priority because
these administrators will help
Lawton implement consolida-
tions that comply with the new
government structure and
make county government more
efficient, Kersey said.
Fairmount Township resi-
dent Michael Giamber, a fre-
quent county meeting attendee
and fervent home rule support-
er, said division head appoint-
ments cant wait.
The monumental task of
standing up a new government
requires a cabinet of experts to
advise the manager and help
steer the organization forward.
The manager cannot be expect-
ed to accomplish the transition
alone, Giamber said.
Charter drafter Richard Hef-
fron agreed, saying in-house
promotions are an option. Hef-
fron particularly wants to see
the restructuring of the central
law office and the judicial ser-
vices division covering civil
and criminal court records and
other offices.
Streamlining of offices will
free up funding for other prior-
ities, he said.
Charter
drafter Veroni-
ca Ciaruffoli,
another regu-
lar at council
meetings, said
division heads
will help Law-
ton restruc-
ture offices
and sort
through inher-
ited financial
problems.
We put a
new manager
intotransition
into a whole
new organiza-
tional struc-
ture, which is
different than
taking some-
thing that al-
ready exists
and refining
it, she said.
Ciaruffoli
said the coun-
tys new lead-
ers are moving
the govern-
ment in the
right direc-
tion, though
she wants
them to re-
view the char-
ter again to
make sure ev-
ery home rule
mandate is un-
derstood and
followed.
Poised to move forward
Kingston resident Brian Shin-
er, who hasnt missed a council
meeting, said progress under
the newgovernment was largely
hampered by mundane neces-
sities mandated by the charter,
including drafting of the admin-
istrative, ethics and personnel
codes.
Now that all of those things
are finalized, they can move on
withthe taskof actuallyrunning
the county, Shiner said.
Shiner said Lawton should be
ready to start implementing
changes.
Mr. Lawton has had four
months now to get his feet wet
and get to knowand understand
our county a little better. Now
he needs to start making some
firm and aggressive decisions,
Shiner said.
Shiner said he accepted coun-
cils decision to raise taxes 2 per-
cent in the amended budget to
provide wiggle room until the
new manager was on board.
Nowits time to start making
all the necessary cuts in the line
items of the budget and to in-
crease our revenue, Shiner
said, noting that hes also refer-
ring to the judicial branch.
He believes most of the new
council members are trying to
make the best decisions with no
ulterior motives and supports a
council of average citizens as
opposed to seasoned politic-
ians.
The council composition will
change again in 2014 because
fiveof the11seats areupfor elec-
tion in 2013, he said.
Jackson Township resident
Ed Chesnovitch, a charter sup-
porter and faithful meeting at-
tendee, said he will continue to
push for charter compliance.
I think were on the path, but
its a new government. Its a
learning experience, and some-
times they sidestepthe charter.

They cant even tell me if they

Representatives frustrated
Municipal and school district
representatives sitting on the tax
committee are just as frustrated,
if not more. Several have said
they might not be able to meet
payroll or pay other bills if the
problem with Centax is not re-
solved soon. They might have to
take out tax anticipation loans to
do so.
Luzerne County Tax Collec-
tion Committee Solicitor Jeff
Malak said that as of July 2, un-
distributed earned income tax
collections totaling $5.4 million
have been sitting in a special in-
vestment trust account created
for Luzerne County because Cen-
tax hasnt been able to reconcile
what amounts are owed to which
municipalities and school dis-
tricts.
Since the June 27 committee
meeting, at which the TCCvoted
to have Malak research how to
end the contract with Centax,
Malak said he has sent a letter to
the state Department of Commu-
nity andEconomic development,
which has been overseeing the
implementationof Act 32, asking
for emergency relief.
Specifically, the committee is
requesting permission from
DCED for Centax to release
funds in the account to munici-
palities and school districts
based on predetermined percent-
ages andworry about reconciling
the amounts with what is actual-
ly owed them at a later time.
Malak also sent a letter to the
office of state Attorney General
Linda Kelly asking her to look in-
to collections to determine if
there was any type of fraud or il-
legal activity, as suggested by a
TCCmember at thelast meeting.
The TCCwas set to vote to fire
Centax at the meeting, but that
day, the TCC received a letter
from Centax pointing to a clause
in its contract that allowed the
agency 90 days to cure any prob-
lem pointed out to company offi-
cials.
Bond rate set by DCED
At that meeting, committee
members asked how DCED de-
termined that Centax was Act
32-compliant and eligible to be
considered as an EIT collector.
Others questioned why Centaxs
performance bond was set at
$3.28 million when the agency
had more money than that tied
up.
At the meeting, Malak said
DCED set the bond rate and
made the determination.
In response to an inquiry from
The Times Leader on what made
a tax collector Act 32 compliant,
a DCED spokesman said a tax
collection committee cannot ap-
point a tax collector that:
Has been convicted of a felo-
ny involving fraud, extortion or
dishonesty;
Has engaged in conduct that
adversely reflects onthe Tax Offi-
cers credibility, honesty or integ-
rity;
Is unable to attain bonding
requirements;
Has not met the mandatory
education requirements estab-
lished by DCED; or
Has not met additional re-
quirements established by both
the tax collection committee and
DCED.
The spokesman did not supply
the requested mandatory educa-
tion requirements or additional
requirements requested by close
of business Friday.
The spokesman also said that
each county tax collection com-
mittee was responsible for set-
ting the bond rate in an amount
equal tothe maximumamount of
taxes that may be in the posses-
sionof the taxofficer at any given
time; or sufficient to secure the
financial responsibility of the tax
officer as determined by the tax
collection committee.
Malak said the committee fol-
lowed DCED guidelines on the
bond determination and said the
EITrevenue collectedshouldnot
have surpassed $3.2 million be-
fore distribution began by April.
Unfortunately, because revenue
was still trickling in from 2011
collections and small amounts of
revenue distributed for 2012,
most municipalities didnt real-
ize there was a problem until
May.
CENTAX
Continued from Page 1A
Luzerne County isnt the only
Pennsylvania county experiencing
problems with the Centax Group.
According to the Republican-
Herald, the Schuylkill County Tax
Collection Committee ousted
Centax on June 27 for failing to
process earned income tax bills in
a timely manner.
That county TCC plans to appoint
Berkheimer Associates as the new
EIT collector at a meeting on
Tuesday.
And according to the Observer-
Reporter, the Greene County Tax
Collection Committee authorized
its solicitor on June 28 to file a
court injunction halting Centax
from collecting earned income
taxes in that county.
The action was taken after munici-
palities reported receiving neither
full disbursements nor monthly
reports from Centax since it began
collecting earned income taxes for
that countys municipalities and
school districts in January, the
newspaper reported.

Committee is scheduled to meet

I
dont knowwhats gotten into
kids today, said my buddy Al-
ner, showing me a Times Leader
story on the latest juvenile delinquency
statistics (though that termisnt used
much anymore).
With all this violence in the media,
he went on, howcan we expect the kids
to behave?
I smiled indulgently.
Alner, old friend, I said. Everybodys
entitled to an opinion, and even the
experts dont agree on this question. So
lets take a little trip and do some re-
search of our own.
Not again, he
sighed. I have a
cookout planned,
and I just realized I
forgot the bratwurst
and
Well, to make a
long story short, we
were soon in a typ-
ical Wyoming Valley
neighborhood of
about 60 years ago,
thanks to my powers
of metaphysical
travel.
Where are all
those kids heading?
he asked.
Lets take a walk around the corner.
Hey, its a movie theater, he said.
Right! Its just one of the innumerable
neighborhood movie houses that used to
dot the area. The multiplex thats 20
miles away hasnt been invented yet.
Were going to a Saturday matinee, a
staple of young peoples lives back then.
Those kids you sawhave been looking
forward to it all week.
Wow, Terror fromthe Sea, it says on
the marquee.
Two adult, I tell the young lady in
the ticket booth.
Oh, were not going in, are we?
moaned Alner.
Relax, I smiled. I have yet another
power that of theoretical invisibility.
We can buy our Good and Plenties and
cheer for the heroes and nobody will
knowwere there.
Shows starting, whispered Alner.
Look, a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
Notice howElmer Fudd is hunting
Bugs with a shotgun, I said. But Bugs
manages to blast himto smithereens
instead. And then Bugs rolls a huge
boulder down on Elmer, completely
flattening him.
Boy, I never sawthat kind of thing on
Mister Rogers.
The Three Stooges are next, I said.
Its 15 minutes of Moe, Larry and Curley
poking each other in the eye and getting
bashed with heavy objects. Listen to the
kids. They love the Stooges, but no one
will actually do anything like this when
they get home. I think theyre on to some
distinction between art and reality that
weve forgotten.
Nowwere seeing a cowboy movie.
Right on, pardner, I smiled. This is a
serial. By the time its over, there will
have been all kinds of gunfights, fistfights
and chases on horseback, and youll have
to come back next week to see howthe
hero survived being thrown off a cliff.
This Terror fromthe Sea should be
good, said Alner as the credits rolled.
Look howthe giant, slimy creature is

D
orothy Stucker is the assistant to the librarian at the North Branch of the
Osterhout Free Library in Wilkes-Barre. Stucker, 71, has inspired many peo-
ple as a breast cancer survivor who has lived a fruitful life since being diag-
nosed with the disease 25 years ago. Dorothy attended West Pittston High
School and has been married to her husband, Paul, for 50 years. They have
three children: Arlene, Sandy and Paul Jr. The couple lives in Parsons.
You have been working at the
Osterhout Library for more than
30 years. How has that been
and what are some of your fon-
dest memories there? I have
always worked for the North
Branch and we have had three
locations in the time I have
been there. We were located
on George Avenue and had to
move when there was a fire
there. We relocated to Washing-
ton Street for a time and have
been at the Oliver Street location
the last two years. The time spent
at all those locations had been
dear to me because I really enjoy
the people. The children have been
special and I have seen so many
people come and go there over the
years. One of the moments there
that stands out was when a woman I
was talking to was going to a job
interview once she left the library
that day. She was worried because
she did not have a nice top to wear to
the meeting. I had two blouses on, so
I took the top one off and let her
wear it to the interview. She was very
thankful and that was a special mo-
ment.
Tell us about your experience or
battle with breast cancer and what
transpired the last 25 years. In
1987 I felt a lump and went for an
ultrasound and mammogram. The
tests were negative and everything
seemed fine. The lump was still there
so I decided to have a biopsy. It
proved to be cancer. I decided to see
Dr. David Greenwald and I went
through mastectomy surgery and
chemotherapy for a while. I then
decided I had enough of the chemo
and that God and I did not want to
have it anymore. Twenty-five years
later I am still here and making it.
The help you received seemed to
make you want to support others.
How has your experience been ben-
eficial to others? Having cancer is
not good, but in another instance, I
have met and hopefully helped so
many people. I am part of The Brave-
hearts, which is a support group for
cancer survivors. I was recently part
of the Star Survivors group that
walked in the Relay for Life this
past June at Kings College, to raise
awareness for cancer.

OS ANGELES - Jonathan Beggs want-
ed an easy way for his neighbors to
share books.
Using odds and ends of fiberboard
and Douglas fir, the retired building contractor
fashioned a hutch the size of a dollhouse. He
gave it a pitchedcedar-shingle roof cappedwith
copper. The door, trimmed in bright red, opens
tothreeshelves filledwithbooks byJoyceCarol
Oates, Tony Hillerman, James Michener and
others. Below hangs a sign: Take a book or
bring a book or both.
In the half-year that Beggs Little Free Li-
brary has perched on a post in front of his Sher-
man Oaks, Calif., home, it has evolved into
muchmorethanabookexchange. It has turned
strangers into friends and a sometimes imper-
sonal neighborhood into a community. It has
become a mini-town square, where people
gather todiscuss SherlockHolmes, sustainabil-
ity and genealogy.
I met more neighbors in the first three
weeks than in the previous 30 years, said
Beggs, 76.
When a 9-year-old boy knocked on his door
onemorningtosayhowmuchhelikedthelittle
library, Beggs knewhewas ontosomething. He
added amenities to make it more welcoming.
He crafted wooden benches from leftover
beams and installed them on either side of the
library amid redwood chips that cushion the
feet.
Beggs heardabout little libraries fromanoth-
er member of a group interested in self-suffi-

built one, he said. Its a lot of fun.

catch on in Southern California. In large cities

ple, I said. It knows no mer-
cy. But well get it in the end.
Humanity rules on Saturday
afternoon.
After quaffing a couple of
Mas Old Fashion Root Beers at
a corner store, we headed back
to 2012.
Strange, said Alner. The
movies were well pretty
violent, but that didnt seem to
rub off on the kids I saw.
I nodded. Maybe it was the
parenting. Im not an expert.
But these kids did know how
to enjoy a thriller and then go
back to their own world with
its own rules.
Oh no, shouted Alner.
Whats wrong?
The bratwurst! I could have
picked up some for 19 cents a
pound.
MOONEY
Continued from Page 1B
Other than your obvious
victories against cancer and
your volunteer work, what
would you say is another
proudest moment in your
life? So many moments
relate to my family. Renewing
my wedding vows with Paul
stands out. Having children
and grandchildren have also
been the biggest blessings.
Did you ever go on trips
with your family? We went
to Aruba with the family and
it was wonderful. We have
also traveled to Cape May,
New Jersey and Las Vegas.
We went on an Alaskan cruise
and own a timeshare in Flor-
ida that we visit. My favorite
trip is in my own home these
days. We love spending time
here.
What do you like to do
here, locally? Paul and I like
to frequent the Odyssey and
do cardio water aerobics
three days a week if possible.
We like to be part of their
Silver and Fit group. We
wreck ourselves in those
exercises even though it is for
the older generation.
What is a phrase or saying
you live by or like? My hus-
band and I joke about it, but
we think the key to a good
marriage is being able to tell
your spouse the phrase, yes
dear, when trying to co-exist.
What are you reading?
Any James Patterson
books.
What music are you lis-
tening to? 60s and 80s
music and Engelbert Humper-
dinck and Clay Aiken.
Whats in your fridge? We
always have spaghetti on
hand and I enjoy Captain
Morgan with Diet Coke.
What would you like to see
improved in Northeast
Pennsylvania? The crime
level is much higher than
years ago. I dont want to be
afraid to walk at night. I would
like to see more of a crack-
down on crime.

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

As low as $39
ties, advocates see the libraries as
a way to keep the printed word in
the hands of seasoned and bud-
ding bibliophiles.
The concept of passing along a
favorite book speaks to peoples
desire to connect in person at a
time when much communication
takes place via texts and Face-
book, said Dana Cuff, a UCLA
professor and director of city-
LAB, a think tank.
The small-scale sharing of
somethingthat was special toyou
seems like a great version of bor-
rowing sugar and bringing toma-
toes to your neighbor, Cuff said.
It helps youmakeconnections to
people who live around you.
Little Free Library was the in-
spiration of Todd Bol, who in the
fall of 2009 landed on a way to
honor his late mother, a book-lov-
ing teacher. He built a miniature
wooden one-room schoolhouse,
mounted it outside his Hudson,
Wis., home and stocked it with
books. Evenonrainydays, friends
and neighbors would happen by
tomakeselections, dropoff books
and remark on the librarys cute-
ness.
Bol, anentrepreneur ininterna-
tional business development, en-
listed Rick Brooks, a community
outreach specialist in Madison,
Wis., to help spread the word. In
the last two years, nearly 1,800 li-
brary stewards, as Bol calls them,
have registered cabinet-size athe-
naeums in about 45 states and
dozens of countries, including
Ghana, England and Germany.
Each owner pays $25 to the Lit-
tle Free Library, a nonprofit orga-
nization, for a sign and a number.
The groups website features a lo-
cater map and photos of people
attending grand openings for li-
braries.
Bol anticipates nearly 3,000
registered libraries by the end of
July.
That doesnt count the unregis-
tered library of Susan and David
Dworski, who after seeing a TV
report about Little Free Library
hired a handyman to convert a
vintage beer crate into a book re-
pository that hovers over their
wooden fence on a Venice walk
street.
Since opening their house of
books on May 12, they have de-
tected a familiar pattern. They
hear the sound of footsteps ap-
proaching, fading and then re-
turning. They hear the latch
open. Then . silence. That is the
sound of a friend or a stranger in-
specting the books nestled with-
in, which typically include mem-
oirs, mysteries and self-help
manuals.
Over the weeks, visitors have
taken such varied titles as
McCulloughs Brief Lives,
Mere Christianity and Living
Wicca and have returned, some-
times inthemistypredawn, tode-
posit replacements such as Nev-
er Come Morning, Perfect
Health and The Black Ice.
I make a point to leave people
alone while they browse, said
Susan Dworski, a graphic design-
er, writer andjewelrymaker. I do
hear conversations at thebox, but
I also see loners arriving with
books and taking them, rather
covertly, it seems to me. I think
perhaps folks wonder if theyre
stealing somehow, or fear being
caught on Candid Camera.
She relishes seeing which
books appear or disappear, and
how rapidly. Its not unlike the
excitement of raising chickens
and going out each morning to
the coop to see which hens have
laid warm eggs, hidden in the
straw, Dworski said.
Aware that most people do not
stroll around the neighborhood
with a spare book in hand, she
adapted the sign to read: Take
one now. Leave one later.
One recent Saturday morning,
Fiona Sassoon, 10, picked up a
kids mystery and the Roald Dahl
classic Matilda at the Dworskis
library. She had read about the
Little Free Library movement on-
line at school. She and her par-
ents, Timand Dawn, contributed
afewbooks - someFancyNancy
picture books, Ramona the Pest
and The Indian in the Cup-
board.
Many library custodians get
creative, designing boxes shaped
like beehives or roosters. Others
have used plywood previously
painted by artists and birch bark
fromthe woods near their homes.
They have converted mailboxes
and newsstands.
One library stands at the end of
a boat dock on Honey Bee Island,
one of the Thousand Islands
along the St. Lawrence River,
which separates New York state
fromOntario, Canada. Bol knows
of a man who travels with his li-
brary in his RV and mounts it on
the bumper when he settles in for
the night at a park. In New Or-
leans, volunteers built10libraries
usingmaterials salvagedfromthe
Hurricane Katrina cleanup.
In the Central Valley, home
builder Lennar Corp. has put lit-
tle libraries in its subdivisions in
Fresno, Hanford and Clovis. Su-
san Wilke, vice president of sales
and marketing, commissioned
Bol to build book repositories
painted with rural and small-
town California scenes, featuring
poppies, barns, dairy cows,
horses anda womanwitha water-
ing can.
She views the libraries as a sell-
ing point. People are needing in-
teraction, Wilke said. They nev-
er meet their neighbors. This pro-
vides an excuse for people to
meet and be nice.
That was certainly the case for
Beggs and his wife, actress Mitzi
Hoag. They so enjoyed making
new friendships that they decid-
ed to hold an open house. Beggs
posteda small invitationonthe li-
brary, and, on the last Friday in
May, they welcomed half a dozen
neighbors who drank wine, ate
chips with dips and chatted until
11 p.m.
Beggs and Hoag intend to
make it a monthly tradition.
I find the whole thing quite
gratifying, Beggs said.

hood. People are talking more. What a loving thing to do! one neighbor told them.

landed on a way to honor his

Halladay pitch no-hit-
ters is one thing.
Tossing a gemyour-
self in a huge game
no less carries a spe-
cial significance.
J.D. Barrett, a wit-
ness to Millwoods
and Halladays no-
nos, threw a four-in-
ning no-hitter Satur-
day, helping Back
Mountain American
winthe District 31Lit-
tle League Major
baseball title with a
14-0 victory over
Wyoming/West
Wyoming.
He pitched incredible today,
American manager Steve Mathers
said. After coming off that Exeter
game, what I thought was his best
game, he came in here and absolutely
shut these guys out.
That in itself was impressive consid-
ering Wyoming/West Wyoming had
scored six or more runs in five of its
seven tournament games. But by mix-
ing in a solid change-up, Barrett was
able tofanfive includingthree looking.
Wyoming/West Wyoming had just
three baserunners. Alex Hawk drew a
four-pitchwalkinthe second, andMatt
Selinskie and Alex Gonzales worked
consecutive free passes in the fourth
with one out.
That didnt phase Barrett in part be-
cause his offense gave hima huge cush-
ion early on.
It was good because there wasnt a
lot of pressure on
me, Barrett said.
And I knew my fiel-
ders would make the
plays.
Flawless defense
was obscured by
pitching and offense.

ter one inning, even
sacrificinganout for a
run when David
Schuster got in a run-
down between first
and second to allow
Christian Roberts to
score from third.
It was very impor-
tant, Mather said.
As you see, we trad-
ed in our third out for
a run there. Runs to
come by at this level
are tough to come by.
At least they were for us this year.
Not Saturday as American tacked on
seven more in the second. Barrett had
a two-run double, while Schuster and
Devin Robbins each singled in runs as
American sent 11 batters to the plate.
The victory also means American

LAS VEGAS Blake Griffin,
Andre Iguodala and James Har-
den were chosen Saturday to
complete the roster for the U.S.
Olympic basketball team.
They earned the final three
spots that opened after a rash of
injuries knocked out at least four
players who would have been on
the team. They beat out Eric Gor-
don, Rudy Gay and No. 1 draft
pick Anthony Davis of New Or-
leans, who couldnt scrimmage
this week because of a sprained
ankle.
Also heading to Londonfor the
defending gold medalists are: Le-
Bron James, Kobe Bryant, Car-
melo Anthony, Chris Paul, Deron
Williams, Kevin Durant, Russell
Westbrook, Tyson Chandler and
Kevin Love.
Griffin showed he was healthy

knee injury during the playoffs,
puttingonanimpressivedunking
display following practice Satur-
day. Harden, theNBAsSixthMan
of the Year with Oklahoma City,
gives the Americans more scor-
ingpunchoff thebench, andIguo-
dala is a defensive specialist who
can guard multiple positions.
The Americans lost Dwight
Howard, Derrick Rose, Dwyane
Wade and Chris Bosh to injuries
inrecent months, forcingthemto
scrap plans to name their 12-man
roster on June18. They asked the
US Olympic Committee for a ros-
ter extension and added Harden
andDavis totheir original pool of
finalists that was chosen in Janu-
ary.
USABasketball chairmanJerry
Colangelo was intrigued by Da-
vis skills, but the national player
of the year at Kentucky sprained
his ankle last week and was not
able to take part this week, rob-
bing him of a chance to show he
was readytohandle international
competition now.
James, Bryant, Anthony, Paul
and Williams were all part of the
2008 Olympic gold medalists.
Durant, Westbrook, Chandler
and Love played on the world
championship team two years
ago.
The injuries leave the Ameri-
cans short-handed at center,
where Howard started four years
ago in Beijing and Bosh backed
him up. Chandler is the only nat-
ural center left, so the Americans
will be forcedto use some players
out of their normal NBA posi-
tions.

By BRIAN MAHONEY
AP Basketball Writer
T
he kid on the mound for Back
Mountain National was no
stranger to no-hitters.
Hes watched a couple from the
stands at major league stadiums.
Hes pitched a few himself on Lit-
tle League mounds.
But what he accomplished Sat-
urday may have given J.D. Barrett a
bigger thrill than all the rest.
Because the no-hitter he threw in
the 11-12-year old District 31 title
game solidified one last Little League
season in which Barrett and his Back
Mountain American buddies could
call themselves the best.
Pretty good, Barrett said of his
feat.
The circumstances surrounding it
made Barretts performance great.
OK, so he only had to pitch four
innings of a game that was ended
early by the 10-run rule as Back
Mountain bashed its way to a 14-0
victory over Wyoming/West Wyom-
ing.
And Big Game Barretts becom-
ing known for such stellar perform-
ances, after pitching a five-inning
no-hitter in Back Mountains 10-11-
year old district championship victo-
ry last summer and after helping his
teams of 9-and-10-year olds win dis-
trict titles during the previous two
years.
Hes kind of used to it at this
point, said his father John Barrett.
But this was the final time Barrett,
who recently turned 13 but made
Little League Baseballs cutoff age
date, would wind up on a District 31
mound.
And he was facing a Wyoming/
West Wyoming team that just
torched opposing pitchers throughout
the district tournament.
He pitched unbelievable today,
Back Mountain National manager
Steve Mathers said. Absolutely came
in and shut these guys out.
How dominant was Barrett?
Only one ball left the infield
against him, when Wyoming/West
Wyomings Matt Silinskie slammed a
first-inning drive that was tracked
down in deep right field by Devin
Robbins to end the opening frame.
Other than that, hard-hitting
Wyoming/West Wyoming didnt real-
ly come close to getting a hit, as
Barrett walked three, struck out five
and polished off his no-hit gem by
inducing two ground outs to finish
the game.
It wasnt on my mind, Barrett
said. It just happened.
It just so happened that Barrett, a
Phillies fan, was in the stands as a
3-year-old toddler when Kevin Mill-
wood pitched a no-hitter for Philadel-
phia at Veterans Stadium in 2003.
Barrett has better recollection of
the second no-hitter he witnessed in
person, which came when his pitch-
ing hero Roy Halladay made his first
career playoff start so memorable by
holding the Cincinnati Reds hitless
in a 2010 playoff game at Citizens
Bank Park.
Maybe he emulated them, sug-
gested Lisa Barrett, J.D.s mom.
More likely, Barrett was more con-
cerned about imitating his own past
playoff success. He knew Wyoming/
West Wyomings power-packed lineup
was dangerous, because he grew up
playing with some of those kids.
Before moving to the Back Moun-
tain, J.D. Barrett got his start in
baseball at the Tee-ball level in the
Wyoming/West Wyoming region,
where his mother works as a teacher
in the Wyoming Area school district.
He was so thrilled to be playing
them, Lisa Barrett said.
It turns out facing J.D. Barrett
with a championship on the line isnt
nearly as big of a thrill.

MI NOR L EAGUES
The Tampa Yankees have
been one of the most dominant
teams in the Florida State
League with three league cham-
pionships in the last eight years,
including two in the last three
years.
They stumbled to begin the
2012 season finishing under .500
in the first half standings with a
30-37 record. But looking to add
to championships, the T-Yanks
are off to a good start in the
second half and just added some
help last week.
Three of the organizations
top prospects catcher Gary
Sanchez and outfielders Mason
Williams and Tyler Austin
were promoted to the high
Class-A affiliate from Low-A
Charleston just a few days ago.
In the FSL winners of the divi-
sion in each half advance to the
postseason. Tampa seems to
have a good chance to advance
to the playoffs with the addi-
tions because the trio helped
the RiverDogs to a 39-28 first-
half record in the South Atlantic
League and an overall record of
46-33 record before their promo-
tions. With another top prospect
in Slade Heathcott also on the
Tampa roster, the team now
consists of four of the top 14
according to MLB.com and
three of the top six.
Here are the New York Yan-
kees top-10 prospects according
to MLB.com.

the disabled list, is 0-2 with a
4.50 ERA in six starts for Yan-
kees with 22 Ks in 24 innings.
2. Dellin Betances, RHP,
Trenton (Double-A): The 6-

ed to the Thunder last week

mand problems. For Scranton/

quired from Seattle is currently

ues to get on base at a solid clip

son, he has a .321 on base per-
centage and in his last six
games, hes reached base nine
times.

1
3 innings.

Trio of prospects
join Tampa Yanks
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
drosengrant@timesleader.com
Just two weeks, the Lehigh
Valley IronPigs were in the
middle of a four-game losing
streak that had them sitting a
game behind Pawtucket in the
International League North
Division.
Since that time, the Pigs have
been on a roll winning eight of
12 and entered Saturdays action
with a three-game lead over the
PawSox in the standings.
Lehigh Valley got a boost
from rehabbing Philadelphia
slugger Ryan Howard, who
helped the team win all four
games he played in.
Howard hasnt been the only
player playing a big part for the
IronPigs as everyone has been
contributing. No. 9 hitter Tug
Hulett walloped a grand slam in
a win over Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre last week.
Also for Lehigh Valley, start-
ing pitcher Tyler Cloyd learned
he was going to start the Tri-
ple-A All-Star game for the In-
ternational League. The 25-year-
old, right-handed Cloyd is 8-1
with a 2.15 ERA in 13 starts for
the Pigs. When his numbers
from Double-A Reading this
season are added in, he is 11-1
with a 2.07 ERA in 17 starts.
Here are Philadelphias top 10
prospects according to
MLB.com and how they are
faring in 2012.
1. Trevor May, RHP, Reading
(Double-A): A fourth-round pick
in 2008, hes shown some com-
mand issues in his last two
outings walking 10 in 10 innings.
But he came out of the stretch
with a 1-0 record. For the sea-
son, he has a 4.92 ERA with 91
strikeouts in 89
2
3 innings.
2. Jesse Biddle, LHP, Clear-
water (A-Advanced): In two
starts over the last week, he
went 1-0 allowing five runs in 12
1
3 as his record improved to 5-3
for the season with an ERA of
3.23.
He has also punched out 85
hitters in 83
2
3innings this sea-
son.
3. Brody Colvin, RHP, Clear-
water (A-Advanced): In his last
three starts, hes 1-0 while only
giving up three runs in 19 in-
nings and also struck out 16 in
that span. To date for the
Threshers, he has a 4.25 ERA
with a 4-4 record to go with 75
strikeouts in 82
2
3 innings.
4. Larry Greene, outfielder,
Williamsport: The 19-year-old
first-round pick from last June is
heating up. Known as a power
hitter, hes still homerless, but
hes hitting .324 (12-for-37) over
his last 10 games to raise his
average for the season up to
.270. He is also getting on base
with a .397 on base percentage
so far this season in 18 games.
5. Phillippe Aumont, RHP,
Lehigh Valley (Triple-A): The
6-foot-7, 260-pound reliever has
thrown 4
2
3 consecutive score-
less frames. Currently for the
IronPigs, hes 2-1 with a 4.15
ERA and 10 saves. Hes also
fanned 37 in just 26 innings.
6. Sebastian Valle, catcher,
Reading (Double-A): The 21-
year-old is mired in a little
slump hitting just .171 (6-for-35)
in his last 10 games. His average
has dropped to .250 for the
season. He also has nine home
runs and 33 RBI.
7. Justin De Fratus, RHP,
TBA: On the disabled list, he
could begin a rehab assignment
this week.
8. Maikel Franco, third base,
Lakewood (Class A): The 19-
year-old seems to be finding his
stroke. During a nine-game
hitting streak that ended on
Friday he hit .410 (16-for-39). In
the span, hes raised his average
more than 20 points to .233. He
also has seven homers and 45
RBI this season.
9. Jonathan Pettibone, RHP,
Reading (Double-A): The 21-
year-old missed his last start
with tightness in his groin. He is
7-5 with a 3.27 ERA with 63
strikeouts in 93
2
3 innings.
10. Roman Quinn, shortstop,
Williamsport: The 19-year-old is
starting to get on base regularly
for the Crosscutters, which pays
off for the speedster as hes
stolen five bases in his last nine
games. On the season, hes bat-
ting .276 with an on base per-
centage of .382 and eight steals
in 18 games.

played since June 28
nursing a head injury
and is on the disabled
list.
For the season, the
left-handed batting
second baseman is
batting .288 with one
home run, 33 RBI and 21
stolen bases in 27
attempts, to go along
with six triples, 11 dou-
bles and 40 runs in 67
games.
Ray Black, Cough-
lin, San Francisco
(extended spring train-
ing): A power pitcher,
Black is nursing a
shoulder injury which
arose at the end of
spring training and hes
been sidelined for about
three months. He is still
rehabbing in Scottsdale,
Ariz.
After experiencing
soreness, he received a
cortisone shot and has
begun another throwing
program.
The seventh-round
draft pick (237th over-
all) out of the University
of Pittsburgh last June
is hoping to join the
short season Salem-
Keizer Volcanoes in
Oregon or the Low Class
A team in Augusta or
possibly join the Arizo-
na Rookie League
Giants.
Rich Thompson,
Montrose, Durham
(Tampa Bay, Triple-A): A
33-year-old speedy
outfielder, is batting .281
with seven RBI and nine
stolen bases in 21 games
since being sent to the
Bulls.
For the Rays, he had
just one hit in 17 at-bats
for the Rays, picked up
two stolen bases,
scored two runs and
knocked one in.
Last month, he was
traded to Tampa from
the Phillies and was
immediately called up
to the big leagues.
Before the trade, he
was hitting .307 for
Lehigh Valley with
seven stolen bases
along with an on-base
percentage of .390 for
the IronPigs. His minor
league totals this
season include a .294
batting average with 16
stolen bases and an on
base percentage of .375.
Kyle McMyne, Old
Forge, Bakersfield
(Cincinnati, Class A
Advanced): The right-
handed reliever has
pitched in 15 games
since a promotion from
Low-A ball.
Taken by the Reds in
the fourth round (145th
overall) of last years
draft out of Villanova,
he has continued a nice
stretch having a seven-
inning scoreless streak
and allowing just three
hits in the seven-game
stretch while and earn-
ing three saves.
For the season for
Bakersfield, he has
given up nine earned
runs in 20 innings, but
his ERA dropped by
nearly three runs to
4.05 after the impres-
sive stretch. He is 1-1
with three saves and 18
strikeouts against nine
walks.
Overall this season in
the minors, he is 4-3
with a 3.25 ERA in 34
games.

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees made their intentions
known recently that when the
team returns for the 2013 sea-
son it wants to be more fan-
friendly.
Ideas have been taken by
members of the organization
from people all over Luzerne
and Lackawanna counties and
its also been known that the or-
ganization wants to use the Le-
high Valley IronPigs mold for
building a strong relationship
with fans.
The Phillies Triple-A affiliate
located in Allentown is packed
with promotions and in-game
entertainment every game.
But theres another Philadel-
phia affiliate that may be even
more gracious with fans than
Lehigh Valley. About an hour
drive fromAllentown is FirstEn-
ergy Stadium in Reading, the
home of the Double-A Reading
Phillies and the host for
Wednesdays Eastern League
All-Star Game.
The stadiumtakes on the mo-
niker Baseballtown, U.S.A., and
for good reason. Promotions are
always in full force in Reading
and theres always more than
one going on whether its a con-
cert on the plaza or one of many
giveaways.
And when there isnt a band
playing live, a disc jockey takes
the stage for a performance.
Last month when the DJ
couldnt make the showing,
Phillies top prospect and R-
Phils ace starting pitcher Trevor
May showed off his DJ skills.
Theres so much history
here, especially since its been
around so long, May said. Its
just a great place to play. Its a
fun atmosphere all the way up
(the Phillies farm system). Its
definitely fun to play baseball
when theres an atmosphere ev-
ery night.
When entering FirstEnergy
Stadium for the first time, fans
notice the historic stadium con-
cessions in a closed-in setting.
Once you make your way to the
field, the throwback seats will
make sure you are comfortable
while watching the game and
will make spectators feel like a
setting from the old days.
The stadium isnt all about
old time settings though. Thats
evident by a swimming pool in
right field.
Once the game begins, theres
more to see than two teams at-
tempting to score more runs
than the other.
Heck, some regulars at Read-
ing Phillies games will even say
that the focus is more on fans
and entertainment than about
baseball when you go to a base-
ball game.
Thats because theres some-
thing to see in between every in-
ning. Whether its the popular
vegetable race between pa-
trons suited up in cauliflower,
broccoli, carrot or a lettuce cos-
tume the Crazy Hot Dog Ven-
dor throwing franks into the
stands or one of many other at-
tractions, youre sure to have a
laugh.
At most ballparks, if celebrat-
ing a birthday, fans will see their
name on the outfield board or a
similar setting. In Reading, you
can throw out the first pitch on
your birthday.
A winning team is also a part
of the winning-with-fans formu-
la. Like Scranton/Wilkes-Barre,
Reading always seems to have a
proven club. Especially this sea-
son as the R-Phils roster con-
sists of several top prospects in
the organization. In addition to
May, fellow pitcher Jonathan
Pettibone andcatcher Sebastian
Valle are ranked by MLB.com
on the Phillies top 10 prospect
list. The trio has won at every
level they have played together
and have moved up the ladder
together, which works well for
their team chemistry.
Lots of guys area really grow-
ing into their game. Its kind of
happened for a lot of us, May
added. Its fun knowing the
guys and its easy to have chem-
istry when you play with each
other and see each other every-
day. Were all friends and were
always having fun, especially af-
ter wins.
Whether going to see an ex-
citing team that wears one of
many alternate jerseys or just
in attendance to see one of sev-
eral attractions, fans line up out-
side the stadium two hours be-
fore gametime to get a great ex-
perience at the ballpark.
Thats something Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre officials would
love to see night in and night
out, and not by traveling to a
nearby venue.
More than baseball in Reading

NEW YORK Ike Davis
homered, Jordany Valdespin
hit one out for the second day
in a row and Dillon Gee
pitched one-run ball for eight
innings to help the New York
Mets beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1
Saturday.
Gee (6-7) gave up seven hits
without a walk and struck out
four to keep up a run of strong
starts by Mets pitchers.
Theyve gone at least six in-
nings in 19 of the past 21
games, and have an ERA of
3.16.
Braves 6, Phillies 3
PHILADELPHIA Tommy
Hanson pitched effectively into
the eighth, Brian McCann
homered and the Atlanta
Braves beat the struggling
Philadelphia Phillies.
Cardinals 3, Marlins 2
ST. LOUIS Kyle Lohse
beat the Miami Marlins with
seven innings of three-hit ball
in 106-degree heat and Tony
Cruz hit a go-ahead two-run
triple in the St. Louis Cardi-
nals victory.

Astros 6, Brewers 3
HOUSTON Scott Moore

BOSTON Newcomers
Pedro Ciriaco and Mauro Go-
mez had three hits each and
the Boston Red Sox gained a
split of their day-night double-
header with a 9-5 win over the
New York Yankees on Sat-
urday.
Ciriaco drove in three runs
with a bases-clearing double
one day after being called up
from Pawtucket. Gomez is 8
for 17 in five games since being
promoted from the Triple-A
team Tuesday night.
Andruw Jones hit three
homers in the doubleheader,
including two of the Yankees
four in their 6-1 win in the
opener in which Freddy Garcia
pitched 6 2-3 solid innings in
muggy conditions. They added
three homers in the nightcap,
running their baseball-high
total to 133. Theyre on a pace
for a club-record 255. The 1997
Seattle Mariners hold the ma-
jor league record with 264.
Tigers 8, Royals 7
DETROIT Prince Fielder
hit a two-run, game-tying
homer in the first, Delmon
Young had a two-run home run
to pad the lead in the seventh
inning and the Detroit Tigers
held on to beat the Kansas City
Royals.
Detroit closer Jose Valverde
started the ninth with a four-
run lead and almost lost it.
Valverde walked Alex Gor-
don on four pitches to lead off
the inning, gave up a double to
Alcides Escobar and walked
Eric Hosmer to load the bases.
All-Star Billy Butler hit a two-
run single to pull Kansas City
within two runs. Yuniesky
Betancourt nearly hit a go-
ahead, three-run homer on a
fly center fielder Austin Jack-
son tracked down near the wall
in left-center. Jackson charged
to make an underhanded catch
on Mike Moustakas sacrifice
fly for the second out and Jeff
Francoeur struck out.
White Sox 2, Blue Jays 0
CHICAGO Gavin Floyd
pitched 7 2-3 innings of four-hit
ball and Kevin Youkilis hit a
two-run homer to lead the
Chicago White Sox to a victory
over the Toronto Blue Jays.

CLEVELAND Ubaldo
Jimenez struck out eight over
six innings and Shelley Duncan
hit a two-run homer to help the

TUNKHANNOCK Tunk-
hannock swept a doubleheader
from Hazleton on Saturday in
Wyoming Valley American Le-
gion League play winning 4-3 in
the first game and 7-5 in the
second.
In the process, Tunkhannock
also cleared up a cloudy playoff
picture by securing a spot in the
tournament which begins on
Friday and eliminating Back
Mountain, Nanticoke and
Swoyersville.
Josh McClain pitched a com-
plete-game in the opener, while
Ryan Goodwin and Rich Con-
deelis each had two hits and
scored a run.
Rich Gawel paced Hazletons
offense going 3-for-4 with a run
scored and an RBI.
In the nightcap, Tunkhannock
plated runs in the second and
fifth innings to pull out the
victory. Condeelis laced a pair of
doubles scoring a run and driv-
ing one in, while Lance Sherry
drove in two runs.
Anthony Zaloga went 2-for-3
for Hazleton.
There are just two games
remaining on the league sched-
ule and the playoffs are set with
Greater Pittston (13-5), Moun-
tain Post-B (12-5), Hazleton
(12-6) and Tunkhannock (11-7)
securing the berths. GP has the
top seed and will play Tunk-
hannock at 3 p.m. Friday at the
Mountain Post field in Rice,
Twp.
Mountain Post and Hazleton
will also play each other, but the
second and third seed will be
decided after Mountain Post
plays Swoyersville this after-
noon. That game is slated for
5:30 p.m. Friday as the double-
elimination tournament gets
underway.

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

ner Ill HaveAnother paradedbe-
tween races at Betfair Holly-
wood Park on Saturday, giving
fans at the colts home track a
chance to cheer him one last
time before he heads off to stud
duty in Japan.
Ill Have Another made his
way from the paddock, where
jockey Mario Gutierrez got on
wearing purple-and-white silks,
through the tunnel and onto the
track as fans applauded and
waved signs. He walked briefly
on the track before entering the
winners circle for the last time.
He is the local boy made
good, track announcer Vic
Stauffer saidas Ill Have Another
bucked.
Thinks hes running again.
Hes all pumped up, a male fan
said.
Ill Have Anothers bid to be-
come racings first Triple Crown
winner in 34 years ended with
his sudden retirement on the eve
of the June 9 Belmont Stakes be-
cause of tendinitis in his left
front leg.
I thinkhewouldhavewonthe
Belmont if he had the chance,
said Gina Romero, a 45-year-old
fan fromPorter Ranch. Imglad
they put his safety first, thats the
most important thing.
Last month, owner J. Paul
Reddam sold the colt to Japa-
nese breeders. Ill Have Another
will enter quarantine on Sunday
for 30 days before going to his
new home at Big Red Farm on
the island of Hokkaido.
Its sad, trainer Doug ONeill
said. We all wanted so badly for
himtostayintheUnitedStates. I
was actually pushing for him to
stay in California, but there was
just very little interest.
ONeill plans to take his family
to visit the colt in Japan next
spring.

LA PLANCHE DES BELLES
FILLESSKI STATION, France
Bradley Wiggins gave Britain its
first Tour de France leader in 12
years on Saturday, wresting the
yellowjersey fromFabianCancel-
lara after being helped by a pow-
erful escort in the races moun-
tain debut.
In the Tours first big shake-up,
the Sky squad was dominant up
the first summit finish to allow
Christopher Froome to win the
seventh stage from Tomblaine to
La Planche des Belles Filles ski
station.
The198-kilometer trekintothe
Vosges range went a long way to-
wardshapingthethree-weekrace
as experts predicted before the
start a showdown between
Wiggins and defending cham-
pion Cadel Evans.
Ina five-rider breakaway group
on the final climb, Evans tried an
attack just before the super-steep
climb in the last kilometer, but
Froome beat himby two seconds
as Wiggins stayed close to the
Australians back wheel.
After the finish, compatriots
Wiggins and Froome hugged,
with Wiggins becoming the first
Briton since David Millar in 2000
to wear the yellow jersey.
Cancellara, the Swiss time-
trial specialist who had worn the
jerseysincewinningtheprologue
a week ago, is 1 minute, 52 sec-
onds behind Froome but more
importantly1:50backof Wiggins.
The Sky leader, who began the
day seven seconds behind Can-
cellara in second place overall,
leads Evans by 10 seconds. Vin-
cenzoNibali of Italywas fourthto
climb to third overall, 16 seconds
behind.
Its a great day for the team,
we won the stage and took the
yellow jersey, Wiggins said.
This is my first time in the yel-
low jersey. Its incredible its
been a dream of mine since I was
a kid.
Wiggins has more breathing
room than Cancellara had over
the199 kilometers, with only five
riders withinaminuteof his time,
including Denis Menchov of Rus-
sia, who wonthe 2009 Giro dItal-
ia andSpanishVuelta in2005 and
2007. The Swiss rider, by con-
trast, had had 22 riders within 48
seconds of his time before Satur-
days ride.
Wiggins, a three-time Olympic
track gold medalist, became the
pre-race favorite after winning
the Paris-Nice, Tour de Roman-
die and Criterium du Dauphine
stage races this year.
With two time trials and more
climbing days in the Alps and Py-
renees still to come, Wiggins
played down speculation that he
mightve taken the lead too early
withthe finishinParis onJuly 22.
You cant get too cocky in this
race and choose when you take
the yellowjersey. Id much rather
be in yellow than in hospital
like half the peloton, he said, re-
ferring to crashes on Friday that
forcedat least12riders toquit the
race.
Wiggins crashed out of the
2011Tour becauseof abrokencol-
larbone and said he felt lucky
he has beentrouble-free this year.
Froome was part of the Team
Sky phalanx that powered up the
final climb. With most rivals fall-
ingaway, the Kenyan-bornBriton
overcame Evans late surge to
burst ahead to the finish.
He was really strong. He con-
trolled the last two to three ki-
lometers well, Evans said of
Froome. I thought I could antici-
pate it thanks tothe turnandgain
some speed to launch the sprint,
but he had the legs and overtook
me.
The 35-year-old Australian
senses hes infor a challenge from
Sky.
With Wiggins on a team like
that, its going to be difficult,
Evans said.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
NASCARtemporarily suspended
driver AJ Allmendinger for a
failed drug test, forcing Penske
Racing officials to scramble to
get Sam Hornish Jr. to the track
before Saturday nights race at
Daytona International Speed-
way.
Allmendingers suspension
was announcedabout 90minutes
before the race by NASCAR se-
nior vice president of racingoper-
ations Steve ODonnell.
Allmendingers A sample tak-
en last weekend at Kentucky
Speedway came back positive,
and the driver has 72 hours to re-
quest his B sample be tested.
NASCAR has a strict drug
testing programthat Penske Rac-
ing fully supports. Penske Racing
will work with NASCAR through
this process and its next steps,
the team said in a statement.
Penske Racing President Tim
Cindric said NASCAR notified
the organization Saturday after-
noon, and the immediate focus
became getting Hornish back
from North Carolina, where he
was about to do a live television
show on the Speed Channel.
Hornish finished10th in Friday
nights Nationwide Series race,
and the team sent a plane to get
him back to Daytona, where All-
mendinger was scheduled to
start eighth.
Hornish arrived about eight
minutes before he neededtobe in
the car, and was aided by a police
escort onthe short drive fromthe
Daytona airport.
Its really been a whirlwind
since we were notified, andwe re-
ally just needed to get Sam back
toDaytona, Cindric toldThe As-
sociated Press in a telephone in-
terview. We spoke briefly with
AJ before he left, and we agreed
wed talk when we get back.
Cindric didnt reveal details of
the conversation with Allmend-
inger, andsaidthe organizationis
still trying to digest the informa-
tion.
Certainly theres no closure,
and its just not that simple of a
situation, Cindric said. We
need to let the process take care
of itself. Its a situation weve nev-
er been in before, and when we
were notified he failed the test,
the next step really became get-
ting Sam to Daytona and agree-
ing to table everything else until
were all back.
Cindric is in Toronto for Sun-
days IndyCar Series race, and
team owner Roger Penske has
been on a European vacation.
Bud Denker, senior vice presi-
dent of Penske Corp., also wasnt
in Daytona.
Allmendinger was hired in late
December by Penske to fill the
seat that opened when Kurt
Busch split with the organiza-
tion. Its the most prolific ride of
Allmendingers career, and both
driver and team seemed thrilled
withthepairingevenas Allmend-
inger has had his struggles in the
No. 22 Dodge.
He was 23rd in the Sprint Cup
Series standings heading into
Daytona, wherehewontheRolex
24 Hours of Daytona sports car
race in January shortly after his
hiring at Penske.
Hes the most prolific driver
since Jeremy Mayfield in 2009
was suspended for a failed drug
test. Mayfield has fought NAS-
CAR over the test since, and has
not raced a NASCARevent since.
Asked if Penske Racing is sup-
porting Allmendinger, Cindric
indicated the team is behind its
first-year driver.
Hes our driver and that why
its important to understand all
the facts, Cindric said. Its very
difficult to speculate on how it
should be handled. On one side,
we have personal relationships,
and on the other, well, its a busi-
ness side. Weve not been
through this before, and we just
really want to understand this
some more.

KOHLER, Wis. Na Yeon
Choi was just a kid when Se Ri
Pak won the U.S. Womens
Open at Blackwolf Run in
1998.
Today, Choi is living proof
that Paks landmark victory 14
years ago really did have the
power to inspire girls in South
Korea to try to make it in pro-
fessional golf. And after post-
ing one of the best rounds in
Open history, Choi is poised to
repeat Paks feat in the same
event at the same course.
Choi shot a 7-under 65 on
Saturday in the third round at
Blackwolf Run, taking control
of the tournament.
I couldnt believe how I got
eight birdies today, Choi said.
But I did. And Im very happy,
and Im very satisfied and Im
very excited.
The fifth-ranked South Ko-
rean stars remarkable round
put her at 8 under for the
tournament, giving her a six-
stroke lead over fellow South
Korean Amy Yang. Only four
players ever have posted a
lower round in the Open, and
the 65 tied the lowest third-
round score in the events
history.
As Choi surged despite
windy conditions, Michelle
Wie faded, shooting a 6-over
78 to fall to 2 over. Wie shot a
66 in the second round and
came into the day a stroke
behind second-round leader
Suzann Pettersen.
It was a lot of fun being in
contention, Wie said. Im
still not out of it. Dont count
me out just yet.
Pettersen also shot 78 on
Saturday and slid to 1 over, but
still hoped to get back into
contention.
You know what, theres
birdies out there, she said. I
think the wind is going to be a
little bit less tomorrow from
what Ive seen. So if you get off
to a hot start, hopefully put a
number down early in the
clubhouse. Who knows?
Yang had a 69. Choi and
Yang were the only players to
break 70 in the round.
Im just going to keep being
patient tomorrow, try to do my
best, Yang said.
Lexi Thompson, Mika Miya-
zato and Sandra Gal were tied
for third at 1 under. The 17-
year-old Thompson had a 72,
Miyazato shot 73, and Gal had
a 74.
Seven under at an Open is
pretty good, I would say,
Thompson said about Chois
round. So shes leading by a
good amount, but Im still
going to go for it.
Top-ranked Yani Tseng
struggled, shooting a 78 and
fading to 8 over.
Tseng said she had trouble
feeling comfortable with her
club selection at times as she
tried to deal with the wind and
tough pin placements.
And Tseng said she didnt
see too many opportunities for
low scores out there, adding,
Except Na Yeon.
Choi has five career LPGA
Tour victories. She tied for
second in the 2010 U.S. Wom-
ens Open.
And she credits Pak for
helping to inspire those ac-
complishments.
Choi recalls watching the
1998 Open on television. At
the time, she said she already
was thinking about trying to
make it as a golfer in South
Korea but when Pak won,
her conceptions of what might
possible changed dramatically.
I changed my goal: I have
to go to the LPGA Tour and I
want to win on the LPGA
Tour, Choi said.
And given the source of her
inspiration, winning at Black-
wolf Run would be extra spe-
cial.
Choi came into Saturday at 1
under for the tournament and
started posting low numbers
right away.
She had only 26 putts, and is
optimistic shell be able to
continue putting well.
I have a good feeling about
my putting speed and putting
strokes, Choi said. So I hope
to get good results tomorrow.
Choi had four birdies on the
front nine, including back-to-
back birdies to start the round.
She made y 20-foot putt to
birdie No. 7.
Then Choi birdied the first
three holes on the back nine,
draining a birdie putt on the
12th hole to go to 7 under on
the day.
Chois only slip-up of the day
was a three-putt on the 13th,
her only bogey of the day. Choi
then made a 15-foot putt to
birdie the par-3 17th, going
back to 7 under for the day
and 8 under for the tourna-
ment.
The lowest round in U.S.
Womens Open history was a
63 by Helen Alfredsson in
1994. Three other players have
shot a 64 in the Open.
With another low number
Sunday, she could run away
with the tournament.
Webb Simpson leads
Greenbrier Classic
WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINGS, W.Va. U.S. Open
champion Webb Simpson shot
a 5-under 65 on Saturday to
take a two-stroke lead into the
final round of the Greenbrier
Classic.
Simpson had his second
straight bogey-free round to
reach 14 under on the The
Greenbrier Resorts Old White
TPC course. Last year in the
event, he briefly led entering
the final nine holes, but faded
to a tie for ninth.
Troy Kelly was second after
a 62. He had hip-replacement
surgery in September 2010
after being diagnosed with
arthritis.
Rookie Charlie Beljan, J.B.
Holmes and Ken Duke were 11
under. Beljan had a 67, Holmes
a 66, and Duke a 65.
Holmes had part of his skull
removed in September 2011,
four months after he started
having vertigo symptoms. He
returned to the tour in Janu-
ary.

BUL L E T I N BOARD
It has been state Rep. Ed Stabacks pet
project for 20 years, and even though
the veteran legislator is retiring this
November, the upcoming Junior Shoot-
ing Competition that he hosts each
September likely wont be the last.
The competition began in 1992 when
the term assault rifle became popular
and semi-automatic sporting arms
were lumped into the same category as
military rifles.
Staback, who is an avid hunter,
didnt agree with the broad label and
he got together with other sportsmen
to change the image.
We wanted to do something to shed
light on what semi-auto sporting arms
are all about, Staback said. We decid-
ed to have a competition for young
people to teach them about proper
firearm handling and safety.
The first year of the event, which is
held at the shooting range on State
Game Lands 300 on Archbald Moun-
tain, 30 children ages 10 to 18 participa-
ted (See Outdoor Notes for more in-
formation).
Staback said he hoped the event
would eventually attract 100 youth
annually, and as more organizations
got involved so did more kids.
Groups such as the Scranton Chapter
of the National Rifle Association
signed on to help, as did Jerrys Sports
Center in Forest City. Later, firearm
manufacturers jumped on board and
donated .22s, 20-gauge shotguns and
other small caliber rifles suitable for
children.
Trophies were handed out to the
winners in each age category, plenty of
prizes were given away and tons of
homemade food was donated to feed
everybody.
Best of all, it didnt cost the kids or
their families a penny to participate.
Soon, the competition grew each
year until Staback finally had to limit it
to 250 children.
We could get more than 300 easily,
but we just cant handle more than
250, he said. By August its filled.
Staback himself became so involved
in the event that, outside of many of
the bills he drafted during his 28 years
serving the 115th District, the competi-
tion was his pet project.
I would do whatever I had to to
make sure it was held every year, he
said.
Counting parents, Staback said more
than 600 people turn out for the event
each year. It started out as a way to
educate youth about firearms and has
evolved into a tradition.
And theres more to it than letting
the kids punch holes in targets.
Each child is supervised one-on-one
by a certified shooting instructor. Gun
checks are conducted multiple times
before the shooting begins, and Sta-
back himself even gives a presentation
on gun safety at the start of the day.
At the end, after all the trophies and
prizes are handed out, Staback said
thats when the true benefit of the
competition sets in.
If some of these kids take this expe-
rience and decide they want to try
hunting or stay involved in shooting
sports, they will be well-schooled in
proper firearm handling and safety,
Staback said. Thats key.
Although Staback will retire this
November from the state legislature,
he will continue to be involved in the
annual competition.
Ive been at it for 20 years and I
enjoy it more each year, Staback said.
I love the feeling you get when a child
wins one of the prizes or a trophy.
They take it seriously and learn about
gun safety in the process.
Thats why well continue to keep it
going as long as we can.
Two hundred and fifty kids are glad
to hear that.

With less than 10 minutes to fish
in the first week of the Wednesday
Night Bass Tournament at Harveys
Lake on June 20, Brad Rinehimer
wasnt ready to give up.
He already had one bass in the
livewell but knew it wasnt big
enough to win the tournament, so
Rinehimer made a few more casts
toward the docks.
And thats when it struck.
At first I just felt weight and
wasnt sure if it was a fish, the Ply-
mouth resident said. I set the hook,
reeled in and when he came out of
the water with his mouth open, I
knew I had a tournament winner.
But Rinehimer wasnt in the clear
just yet. The fish hit at 8:54 p.m.
and the weigh-in was in six minutes.
If Rinehimer didnt make it back to
the boat launch by 9 p.m., he
wouldnt qualify.
My heart started pounding and
the fish began diving under the boat
and really fighting. I was so nervous
it was going to get off, he said.
Rinehimer was able to get the fish
in the boat and make it back to the
launch at 8:59 p.m.
The largemouth weighed in at
5.75 lbs. and was nearly a pound
heavier than the second place bass,
which weighed 4.81 lbs.
It was the biggest fish I ever
caught and to do it in a tournament
at Harveys Lake, it was a moment
Ill never forget, Rinehimer said.
During the first three weeks of the
Harveys Lake tournament, the win-
ning bass has either pushed or ex-
ceeded the five-pound mark each
time.
Greg Mikulski Jr. of Sweet Valley
finished second to Rinehimer in the
first week with a 4.81-pound large-
mouth.
Its really off to a good start and
there are a lot of nice fish in this
lake, Mikulski said. Even the
smallmouth bass can get big and
quite often theyll win the tourna-
ment.
Last Tuesday, the hot start to the
tournament season at the lake con-
tinued with a 4.87 lb. largemouth
caught by George Hogan taking first
place. The tournament was shifted
from its customary Wednesday night
slot due to the July 4 holiday.
Duke Dalley, who coordinates the
tournament with John Niezgoda,
isnt surprised with the size or the
number of fish brought in to the
weigh-in each week.
I fish the lake a lot at night and
in the early morning, and Ive been
catching a lot of nice fish so far,
Dalley said.
Niezgoda said the tournament
traditionally gets off to a hot start,
especially with lunker largemouths,
then changes after the fourth or fifth
week.
Then youll start to see small-
mouth bass winning each week,
Niezgoda said. Thats what makes
fishing here interesting. You have
both largemouth and smallmouth
bass in this lake, so its unique.
Dalley and Niezgoda took over the
tournament after it was close to
coming to an end before the start of
this summer. Theyve attracted close
to 20 boats each week, and as word
gets out that the tournament is up
and running, Dalley and Niezgoda
expect the numbers to increase.
This is a tradition and guys really
like to fish this tournament, Niez-
goda said. You really have some
dedicated anglers fishing this lake
who know what theyre doing, and
that makes for good competition.
Mikulski has fished the Wednes-
day night tournament which has
been organized by different individu-
als over the years, for the last 10
years. He is joined by family mem-
bers Greg Mikulski Sr., Gary Mikul-
ski and friends Mike and Steve Phil-
lips.
We all come out every week, he
said. Its something to do on a
Wednesday and its a chance to fish
and win a couple of bucks.
Its also an opportunity to experi-
ence an exceptional bass fishery that
is close to home, Rinehimer added.
The anglers in this tournament
are so dedicated and its great hav-
ing a lake this close where you can
catch quality fish, he said. People
travel to Tennessee to catch small-
mouths that are five pounds or
more, and we have them right here
in Harveys Lake.
Niezgoda said the lake offers a
variety of structure for different
types of bass fishing, and most an-
glers focus on casting around docks
or fishing the weedlines, deep or
shallow.
While he hopes interest grows and
attracts more anglers, Niezgoda said
the tournament has caught the at-
tention of the locals who live around
the lake.
We get spectators at the weigh-
ins and people come out on the
docks all the time to ask how were
doing and what were catching,
Niezgoda said. They want to see
the quality of fish that are found in
Harveys Lake.

WIMBLEDON, England The
Brits know how to stage a corona-
tion, and theyll do so Sunday for ei-
ther regal Roger Federer or one of
their own, Andy Murray.
Queen Elizabeth II has another
commitment, but the former Kate
Middleton and the British prime
minister will be on hand to see who
reigns at Wimbledon.
Plenty of history will be written in
the mens final at tennis most tradi-
tion-rich tournament. Federer can
add to his record 16 Grand Slam
championships, and he would tie a
record by winning Wimbledon for a
seventh time. He also would claim
the ATPs top ranking for the first
time since June 2010, and match Pete
Sampras record of 286 weeks at No.
1.
Theres a lot on the line for me,
Federer said.
Murray, meanwhile, is merely try-
ing to become the first British man to
win a Grand Slam title since Fred
Perry took Wimbledon and the U.S.
Championships in 1936.
It has been a great tournament so
far, Murray said. Ive just got to try
to keep it together for the final.
Britains abuzz. Even without the
queen, the Royal Box is certain to be
packed, along with the rest of Centre
Court. Tickets are going for more
than 2,600 pounds ($4,000). Thou-
sands have bought 8-pound ($12.40)
grounds passes to picnic near Wim-
bledons practice courts on the grassy
hill known these days as Murray
Mount, watching the match on a
huge video screen.
Loyalties will be divided. Brits love
Federer, the celebrated Swiss whose
graceful game is so well suited to the
All England Club. Hell receive senti-
mental support because he has en-
dured a reign delay, going 2
1
2 years
without a major title while being
eclipsed by Novak Djokovic and Ra-
fael Nadal. Now, at 30, he could be-
come the first thirtysomething man
to win Wimbledon since Arthur Ashe
in 1975.
Allegiance for the stolid Murray is
more a matter of geography, and even
then its complicated. Hes a native of
Scotland, where theres a campaign
afoot to break away from Britain.
Whenever Murray loses, the English
tend to call him Scottish, not British.
But for the moment, when it comes
to lawn tennis, the United Kingdom
is united.
Brits invented the game and, in
1877, started Wimbledon. Theyve
won the mens title 35 times, more
than any other country, but not since
before World War II.
And no British woman has won
Wimbledon since Virginia Wade in
1977.
Londoners have accepted the
championship drought with good hu-
mor, especially where Murray is con-
cerned. Waitresses at restaurants in
Wimbledon village roll their eyes at
the mention of his name. Last Sun-
day at the villages Emmanuel
Church, when the pastor noted from
the pulpit that Brits are rooting for
Murray, the congregation responded
with groans and giggles.
It doesnt help that he has been
beaten in the semifinals each of the
past three years, nor that he has lost
every set in his three Grand Slam fi-
nals, including against Federer at the
2008 U.S. Open and 2010 Australian
Open.
A breakthrough victory came Fri-
day versus Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, mak-
ing the 25-year-old Murray the first
British man to reach the final since
Bunny Austin in 1938.
People have been talking for 10
years that finally he was going to be
the one to do it, three-time Wimble-
don champion John McEnroe said.
There were starting to be questions.
He shut that talk down. Its rather
amazing, because some people were
starting to wonder, including myself,
whether this day would actually
come.
A part-time resident of Miami,
Murray said he draws inspiration
from Miami Heat star LeBron James,
who was much maligned before win-
ning his first NBA title last month.
Murray has also benefited from the
help of Ivan Lendl, his coach since
the start of the year. Lendl lost the
first four Grand Slam finals he
played, then won eight major titles.
The Scotsman speaks in a mum-
bling monotone, and on court he
tends to go about his business like a
condemned man. At the French Open
in May, Wade described him as a
drama queen.
But while Murrays no Federer
when it comes to style, some find ap-
peal in his broad repertoire of shots.
I love watching Andy play, be-
cause I think its so exciting, said
Serena Williams, who won her fifth
womens title Saturday. You never
know what hes going to do. Hes run-
ning every ball down. He looks tired,
and then he comes back. I think its
awesome. Hes really one of my favor-
ite people to watch. If thats being a
drama queen, its really exciting.
Murrays accustomed to carrying
the weight of a skeptical countrys
hopes. Shouts from the stands of
Come on, Andy have been common
for years at Wimbledon, and are occa-
sionally heard at matches where
Murrays not even a contestant.
There is obviously a lot of pres-
sure and stress around this time of
year, he said.
There will also be pressure on Fe-
derer, whos mindful of his place in
history. He beat defending champion
Djokovic on Friday to reach the final
for the first time since 2009, and now
he has a chance to tie the tournament
record of seven titles set in the 1880s
by William Renshaw an English-
man and tied in 2000 by Sampras.
Its a big match for me, and I hope
I can keep my nerves, Federer said.
Im sure I can.
Like London bookmakers and most
other observers, Sampras considers
Federer the favorite.
But if Andy serves well and gets
aggressive and can get the crowd be-
hind him and use a little bit of desti-
ny, he can pull it off, said Sampras,
speaking by phone from his home in
Los Angeles. Too bad its on at 5 in
the morning. Im going to have to Ti-
Vo it.

court trophy ceremony. And why
Williams squeezed tight during
post-victory hugs with her par-
ents and older sister Venus, who
has five Wimbledon titles of her
own meaning that one pair of
siblings who learned to play ten-
nis on public courts in Compton,
Calif., now accounts for 10 of the
past 13 trophies.
A few days after winning Wim-
bledonforthefourthtimein2010,
Serena Williams cut both feet on
broken glass while leaving a res-
taurant in Germany. She needed
two operations on her right foot.
Then she got blood clots in her
lungs, for which she needed to in-
ject herself with a blood thinner.
Those shots ledto a pool of blood
gathering under her stomachs
skin, requiring another proce-
dure.
That made her realize where
her life was, really, and where she
reallybelongedandthatshereally
loved the game, said Williams
mother, Oracene Price. You nev-
er appreciate anything until you
almost lose it.
Against Radwanska, who was
trying to be the first PolishGrand
Slamsingles champion, Williams
was streaky at times, but also su-
perb. She wonthe first five games
and the last five. She compiled a
58-13 landslide of winners. She
swatted17 aces, including four at
114 mph, 107 mph, 115 mph, 111
mph in one marvelous game to
pull even at 2-all in the third set.
That was part of a momentum-
swinging run when Williams
claimed 15 of 18 points, and that
quartet of aces raisedher total for
the fortnight to a tournament-re-
cord 102, surpassing her own
mark of 89 in 2010; its also more
than the top number for any man
this year at Wimbledon.
So many aces, said Radwan-
ska, whosetwo-weektotal was16,
andI couldnt domuchabout it.
Therehadbeenamoment, ever
so brief, when it appeared Wil-
liams might let Saturdays match
slip away. After she breezed
throughthefirstsetonadaywhen
the wind whipped and the tem-
perature was in the mid-50s, rain
arrived, causing a delay of about
20 minutes betweensets.
Radwanska, whos been fight-
ing a respiratory illness and blew
her nose at a changeover, quickly
fell behind 3-1 in the second set.
Right there is where she made a
stand.
Williams was playing in her
18th major final; Radwanska in
her first. Actually, shed never
won a match beyond the fourth
round at a Grand Slam tourna-
ment until this week. So she ac-
knowledged being a little bit
nervous inthe beginning.
But the interruption let her
cool down a little bit, explained
Radwanska, who would have ris-
entoNo.1intherankingsbybeat-
ing Williams but instead will be
No. 2, behind Victoria Azarenka.
When I was going on the court
the second time, I just felt like a
normal match. Didnt seemlike a
final anymore, so there was not
that muchpressure.
Radwanska played her usual
steady game, andWilliams began
making more and more errors. A
string of mistakes swinging
volley into the net, double-fault,
backhandlong, backhandintothe
net let Radwanska break to
even the match at one set apiece.
What appearedtobearather drab
final, bereft of anydrama, sudden-
ly became interesting.
She got a little nervous out
there, in my opinion. In the sec-
ond set, I think she might have
thought, Well, I got this here,
saidWilliams father, Richard.
He alsosuspectedhis daughter
might have been feeling a twinge
of self-doubt connected to her
quick exit in late May at the
French Open against a woman
ranked111th, Williams only first-
roundlossin48careermajortour-
naments.
Williams explanation for her
dip against Radwanska?
I just got too anxious, she
said, andIshouldnthavebeenso
anxious.

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JULY 8, 2012

SO YOU WALKED
into the store hoping
to take advantage of
the advertised half-
price sale on the
Perdue chicken nug-
gets. But when you
got to the freezer the
shelf was empty.
Your first thought may have been,
darn it. That was a great deal Im
going to miss out on.
But think positive; that empty shelf
can be a blessing.
Continue shopping and before you
leave the building, head to the courte-
sy counter and request a rain check.
Yes, a rain check. Get them, use
them, love them.
The little slips of paper are better
than a coupon and grow in value when
you can combine them with a coupon.
Rain checks have been around for a
long time, but many shoppers arent
aware of them or dont know how to
get them.
Each store has different rules and
expiration dates for their slips.
Usually theyre offered only for ad-
vertised items, not just on-sale items
that arent in the circular or regular
price items that are out of stock. Some
stores will offer to substitute items
instead of issuing a rain check.
Grocers may require that rain checks
be used within as little as a month.
The terms are always listed clearly on
the checks. Some stores, like CVS and
Walgreens, offer rain checks that never
expire.
So if you see an empty shelf for an
advertised item at a CVS or Walgreens,
grab a rain check. That bottle of Liste-
rine thats typically $4.99 but on sale
for $2.99, in five years it may cost
$8.99. But that rain check will entitle
you to the $2.99 rate.
If you dont want to wait years, you
can save more money if you search for
coupons. If later you come across a $2
off coupon its only going to set you
back 99 cents.
My personal rule when it comes to
rain checks is simple: If you can get
one, get one.
Three other rain check notes of
interest:
You must present your rain check
to the cashier before your purchase.
Some stores reserve the right to
not issue rain checks on some bonus
buys, limited quantity items and other
merchandise. Each store has a cou-
pon/rain check policy on hand. Review
it before accepting a refusal.
Some stores will substitute an
equivalent item of equal or higher
price. For example, Rite Aid was allow-
ing customers to get a larger Dove
Body Wash in place of a smaller bottle
when it ran out a few weeks back. The
larger bottle was worth $3 more. I took
the deal, not the rain check. My rea-
soning? I wasnt going to find a $3 off
coupon in the next few weeks and the
body wash isnt going to expire in a
few months.
A look at how long rain checks are
good for at area retailers:
CVS, Walgreens: No expiration
Giant: 60 days
Target: 45 days
Price Chopper, Rite Aid, Gerritys,
Weis, Wegmans, Thomas Hometown
Market: 30 days
Walmart and Kmart: Varies by item

WORKERS ARE
about to get valuable
information about
their 401(k) -- specifi-
cally, how much they
pay for it.
The fee information
has been around for
years, plan experts say, but to find it,
employees often must dig through
prospectuses or plan documents. Most
dont bother.
But thanks to a new federal regu-
lation, 401(k) participants must receive
an annual fee disclosure statement by
the end of August. Between this new
statement and additional mandated
disclosures that will start appearing in
quarterly statements this year, workers
should be able to calculate how much
of their nest egg is eaten up by fees.
"Costs do matter," said Joseph Vallet-
ta with HR Investment Consultants in
Towson, Md., and co-author of the
"401k Averages Book," a fee compari-
son guide. "They arent the only driv-
ing force ... but you have to make sure
your fees are reasonable."
The disclosure statement could be
an eye-opener for workers, particularly
those who dont realize they pay a plan
provider to maintain their account --
and 7 in 10 workers dont know this,
according to a study last year by the
AARP.
Of course, these workers will be
surprised only if they read the new
disclosure. Workers too often ignore
paperwork, and some industry experts
suggest that will happen in this case,
too.
But this could be a costly mistake.
You can end up with tens of thousands
of dollars less in your account by retire-
ment because you didnt notice that the
mediocre funds you chose were the
most expensive in the plan. Or you
might be out big bucks because you
didnt know enough to lobby your
employer to switch to a plan provider
with lower fees.
Consider the case of two workers
with $30,000 in a 401(k), according to
T. Rowe Prices calculations. One pays
1.75 percent in annual fees; the other
0.75 percent. They make no more con-
tributions and earn a 7 percent average
annual return.
After 35 years, the worker paying the
higher fee would accumulate $179,844.
But the other workers account would
be worth $250,400, or $70,556 more.
Plan experts say some workers have
been getting fee information even be-
fore the new federal mandate. But
participants in smaller plans are the
least likely to get this information --
and they are the workers most likely to
pay high fees.
The new federal regulations require
service providers to tell employers by
July 1 how much they receive from
401(k)s. The information is now being
simplified into an annual statement
provided to workers. Later this year,
quarterly statements will reveal how
much the worker paid during the quar-
ter for administrative expenses.
The disclosure statement is designed
to help workers make investment
choices.
Lets say you invest in a large-cap
value fund with a 1.8 percent annual
fee. But you see from the disclosure
statement that a similar fund with
comparable performance charges only
0.8 percent. In that case, why not
switch to the cheaper fund?
Of course, you need a diversified
portfolio, so dont put all your money
in one fund with only one type of asset
just because its the cheapest.
Be aware that small plans with few
workers and modest assets will be
more expensive than a giant plan that
can negotiate lower fees and spread
costs among thousands of employees.
The average total plan cost for small
plans -- with 100 participants who have
an average balance of $50,000 -- is 1.3
percent, according to the "401k Averag-
es Book." The typical cost for large
plans with 1,000 workers is 1.08 per-
cent.
If the total cost of your plan is higher
than the average, you should ask your
employer how your fees compare to
other plans, Valletta said.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Thirty years ago,
around the time Keith Glass walked
into his first semiconductor manu-
facturing facility, most of the oper-
ators wore lab coats.
As microchips grew smaller -- and
their fabrication grew more complex
-- Glass and his colleagues traded
their lab coats for ultra-clean bun-
ny suits. Even then, in these facto-
ries that rode on the cutting edge of
manufacturing technology, it still
took humans to move wafers -- slices
of semiconductor materials -- from
one machine to the next.
Today, even the bunny suits are
dwindling. Glass gets the same ques-
tion virtually every time he leads a
tour of Samsung Austin Semiconduc-
tors factory: Where are all the peo-
ple?
All those old entry-level positions
have been replaced by robots, said
Glass, the facilitys curriculum strat-
egist. An operator position is much
higher and more technically ad-
vanced than it used to be. That per-
son now sits in front of computer in-
stead of moving wafers by hand.
Samsung rarely hires anybody with
less than an associates degree, he
said.
The same workforce changes Glass
has witnessed in the past three dec-
ades have become increasingly symp-
tomatic of a deeper transformation
across the countrys middle-tier oc-
cupations.
The swath of middle-skills jobs
that once supported a robust Amer-
ican middle class has thinned, lead-
ing to more polarization of the job
market. In the past three decades,
middle-skills occupations have drop-
ped from nearly 60 percent of total
U.S. employment to about 45 per-
cent, according to research by Mas-
sachusetts Institute of Technology
economics professor David Autor.
The real bulk of job growth is bub-
bling up at the ends of the spectrum--
in low-pay, low-skill jobs and in high-
er-wage, highly skilled occupations
that more and more often require at
least a four-year college degree.

ATLANTA -- Those smartphones
andBlackBerrys that enable workany-
time, anywhere are increasingly blur-
ring the lines between work life and
personal life and introducing the
sticky issue of when overtime is owed
to workers.
The always-connected worker and
the pressures of the uncertain econo-
my have led many to feel they should
always be working because they
can, thanks to the
growing use of
smartphones.
Thats allowing
work to bleed into
evenings, weekends
and even sleep, with
some people taking
their phones and
BlackBerrys to bed
with them.
The situation be-
comes tricky for
hourly employees,
whoqualifyfor over-
time.
Weve gotten in-
to a place in our cul-
ture where the more
you work, the better
it is, and the more
you should be proud
of it, said attorney
Amanda Farahany. And so people
dont want to assert their overtime
right.
Overtime laws are abused by com-
panies on a daily basis, she said.
But in some cases, that has led to
lawsuits, seekingpayfor what is some-
times called BlackBerry overtime or
electronic overtime.
For employers, thats an area of ex-
posure and its coming like a freight
train, said attorney David Long-Da-
niels. By giving hourly employees
BlackBerrys or access through iCon-
nect or Citrix, youve implicitly told
them to work, he said.
Long-Daniels advises companies
not to allow hourly employees and
others who qualify for overtime to use
BlackBerrys or remote access to their
work computers, unless theyre toldto
record time when using the devices
andthe company has a systeminplace
to record the hours.

ONTPELIER, Vt. Consumers will pay a little
more for coffee and chocolate to ensure the
farmers who produce those foods get a fair
wage, so why not ask them to pay more for milk?
That is the notion behind a program designed to raise
money for struggling NewEngland dairy farms while edu-
cating consumers about those family businesses. Keep Lo-
cal Farms urges colleges, universities and other institu-
tions in NewEngland to charge a little more for milk, with
the extra money going to farmers in the region.
It is among a number of nongov-
ernment programs being set up to
try to preserve small, family-operat-
edfarms as consolidationcontinues
in the dairy industry. While Ver-
mont is best known for its milk and
cheese products, dairy farms
stretch across New England. But
two-thirds haveclosedinthepast 30
years because low milk prices have
made it hard for farmers to cover
their feed, fuel and labor costs.
Some supporters are trying to
help save the rest by borrowing a
page from the fair trade movement.
Consumers who buy products la-
beled as fair trade pay a little bit
more to provide workers with de-
cent wages and sound environmen-
tal practices. Coffee and chocolate
are among the most common fair
trade items.

es paid to farmers figured the
same idea could work in the dairy

Six colleges and universities
signed up, including Harvard and

contribute10 cents for every single-
serving container of milk sold. Bos-

someBen&Jerrys scoopshops and
others also contribute to the pro-
gram, while others, such as Roche
Brothers and Hannaford supermar-
kets, have displayed signs about the

local economies, tourism and in
providing land for recreation.
Its really from whole cloth.
This didnt exist. There isnt re-
ally an example of this kind of
program for dairy at least, said
Diane Bothfeld, deputy secreta-
ry of the Vermont Agency of
Agriculture, which worked with
the New England Family Dairy
Farms Cooperative and the New
EnglandDairy PromotionBoard
to launch the program.
In Wisconsin, another top
dairystate, FamilyFarmDefend-
ers sells fair trade cheese for
about $6 a pound, guaranteeing
that the farmers whoprovide the
milk get paid $3 for every pound
sold. The farmers set the price to
cover the cost of productionplus
a living wage.
The group sells $30,000 to
$50,000 worth of cheese each
year, providing about 30 farms
withanestimated$500to$1,000
a year, executive director John
Peck said. The challenge is ex-
panding the sales, he said.
In Vermont, where farming is
tied to tourism, residents want
to help farmers, said Marie Au-
det, who with her husband owns
Blue Spruce Farm in Bridport.
Their farmwas one of the first in
the state to produce electricity
from methane gas from cow ma-
nure.
Green Mountain Power cus-
tomers who want to support
such renewable energy projects
pay a premium on their electric-
itybills, withthe moneygoingto
help dairy farmers buy genera-
tors that run on methane.
They dont have to do that,
but they knowthat part of being
in Vermont is the open working
landscape, Audet said.
Still, Robert Cropp, a dairy
marketing specialist and profes-
sor emeritus at the University of
Wisconsin, Madison, doubted
most people would pay more for
milk or other products to sup-
port family farms.
Most consumers are far re-
moved from the farm, Cropp
said. They dont understand
agriculture and how food is pro-
duced and things of this sort.
Keep Local Farms raised
$220,000 over two years. After
paying taxes, it sent $100 checks
to 1,370 farms or about 75
percent of the dairies left in New
England. Its rethinking that ap-
proach after hearing from farm-
ers, and might provide grants
that could help multiple farms
rather than individual pay-
ments.
We hadfar more success than
we expected, and yet it wasnt
enough to be meaningful to the
pockets of dairy farmers on a

He added, What we heard

about who we are and what we

the wide and growing cross-
section of the population who
possess low- or midlevel skills,
the country faces a hollowing
out of the job markets middle
tier, as MITs Autor described
it. Though economists debate
the severity of the changes,
few argue that a mismatch ex-
ists -- a mismatch that presents
a critical economic, social and
political challenge.
Definitions of this middle
tier can vary, in part because
middle-skills and middle-
wage dont always refer to the
same set of occupations.
Broadly speaking, though,
middle-skills jobs require more
than high-school diplomas --
whether thats specialized on-
the-job training or formal cer-
tifications, such as associates
degrees. High-skill jobs typi-
cally require four-year college
degrees.
Its a different middle now,
and we have to change our
thinking about what constitu-
tes the middle, said Harry
Holzer, public policy professor
at Georgetown University.
Middle-wage jobs almost all
require some sort of post-sec-
ondary training, like an associ-
ates degree.
Holzer doesnt see as much
hollowing-out as Autor, but he
agreed that technology might
be the biggest culprit in the
contraction of middle-tier jobs.
According to Autors research,
computers and robots have re-
placed many routine tasks,
many of them clerical (re-
placed by information technol-
ogy) or manufacturing (re-
placed by robotic technolo-
gies).
Employment at the ends of
the skills and wages range
grew from 1979 to 2009, Autor
found. But over the same peri-
od, middle-skills jobs dipped
to 45.7 percent of total U.S.
employment -- down from 57.3
percent.
Economic downturns have
been especially hard on this
middle tier, according to eco-
nomics associate professors
Nir Jaimovich at Duke Univer-
sity and Henry Siu at the Uni-
versity of British Columbia.
Since the mid-1980s, they
found, 92 percent of the job
loss in middle-skills occupa-
tions occurred within 12
months of a recession. And job-
less recoveries, such as the one
the nation is in now, are almost
solely due to the disappear-
ance of midtier jobs, they said.
MISSING
Continued from Page 1D
Among the lawsuits over elec-
tronic overtime is one filed last
year in U.S. District Court in At-
lanta against Amerisave Mort-
gage Corp. by former employ-
ees. In the case, which has been
granted conditional class-action
status, senior mortgage proces-
sors claimthey routinely worked
more than 40 hours a week with-
out getting overtime, and that
Amerisave was aware employ-
ees used their phones and other
devices to answer calls and
email but did not track the time.
Amerisave denies those allega-
tions. The discovery period just
ended in that case.
Jason Zulauf and his brother,
Jeffrey Zulauf, who are among
the workers suing Amerisave,
saidtheyworkedoncommission
and didnt realize they could
qualify for overtime.
Jason Zulauf said the comput-
er system Amerisave employees
used to work from home would
automatically clock themout af-
ter 40 hours, but they were told
by managers to back down
their hours or adjust them
downwardsotheycouldwork
more hours to make more com-
mission.
An attorney representing
Amerisave, Jeff Mokotoff, said
the company has clear, une-
quivocal written policies that re-
quire the employees to recordall
the time that they work.
The Zulaufs said they worked
as many as 15 to 16 hours a day,
sixdays a week. We hadnolife,
Jason Zulauf said. It took a lot
of time away from our families.
Farahany, who is the Zulaufs
attorney, said that most people
dont realize the rights they have
under the overtime laws.
The overtime law, part of the
Fair Labor Standards Act, was
enacted during the Great De-
pressiontomake it more expen-
sive for anemployer tomake one
person work more than to sim-
ply hire another person, Faraha-
ny said. Over time, companies
have simply erodedthat law, and
were back in a place now where
employees are out of work.
Companies call that increased
productivity, a driver of econom-
ic growth.
Farahany contends that if
companies follow the overtime
law, It will bring people back to
work. It worked in the Great De-
pression.
The Amerisave case follows
similar cases in other parts of
the country, including one filed
against T-Mobile USA Inc. in
2009, in which employees and
former employees alleged they
were given company BlackBer-
rys or smart phones and re-
quired to review and respond to
T-Mobile-relatedemails andtext
messages at all hours of the day,
whether or not they were
punched into T-Mobiles com-
puter-based timecard system.
In a complaint filed against
commercial real estate firm CB
Richard Ellis, an employee
claimed he and other employees
were given BlackBerrys and oth-
er devices to access work-related
emails.

Fred Karlinsky, 44, right, is a workaholic and constantly on his
PDA, Blackberry, or both. He is shown with his wife Autumn,
center, and children Spencer, 4, left, and Allie.
Weve gotten into a place in our culture where
the more you work, the better it is, and the more
you should be proud of it. And so people dont
want to assert their overtime right.
Attorney Amanda Farahany
Q.: I share an office with a
woman who makes all kinds
of irritating noises. She is
constantly coughing, burping
and clearing her throat. I
have mentioned this problem
in a nice way, but she contin-
ues to do it. Our supervisor
has not been helpful at all.
I know I should not let this
get to me, but these sounds
are so disruptive that I cant
concentrate on my work. Af-
ter listening to her for eight
hours, I go home stressed and
angry every day. I am about
to lose my mind. What can I
do?
A.: While these ongoing
physical rumblings could cer-
tainly be annoying, Im afraid
the real issue is your overre-
action to them. If you are al-
lowing this rather minor is-
sue to make you stressed
and angry every day, then
you are really blowing it out
of proportion.
You may not realize that
one contributing factor in
this situation is your own
sensitivity to sound. Physio-
logically, people vary quite a
bit in their ability to screen
out background noise. Some
can easily ignore it, while
others, such as yourself, are
acutely aware of every sound
in the room.
If your office mate was
playing a radio or using a
speakerphone, you could rea-
sonably ask her to reduce the
volume, but these bodily re-
sponses are largely beyond
her control. The key to seren-
ity, therefore, is learning to
manage your own emotional
reactions, because right now
you are primed to be angry at
the first hint of a cough.
To distract yourself, try us-
ing headphones or playing a
radio at low volume. When
you hear noises emanating
from the other side of the
room, just shift your atten-
tion to the music. If you keep
this up, it will eventually be-
come a habit, and you will be
able to go home in a calmer
state of mind.
Q: I work for a temporary
service, but Im often over-
looked for the best assign-
ments. Many of my co-work-
ers get full-time positions,
while I usually work only a
couple of days a week. Some-
times the placement supervi-
sor says there are no jobs
available, then I later find out
this wasnt true.
I have been with this ser-
vice a long time, but senior-
ity doesnt seem to matter. A
new employee was recently
given a great assignment that
would have been perfect for
me. How can I get them to
give me more work?
A: While you may be fo-
cused on seniority, your
agency is only concerned
with performance. Because
pleasing customers is their
primary goal, the most highly
rated employees are likely to
receive the prime positions.
Your lack of work may indi-
cate that management has
concerns about your compe-
tence, your attitude, or your
work habits.
Since managements opin-
ion of you will be based on
both customer feedback and
their own observations, you
must be consistently pleas-
ant, professional and depend-
able in all your business
transactions. But if you feel
that you have no problems in
this regard, then you should
simply ask what you can do
to get better assignments and
pay close attention to the an-
swer.

STAYING STILL
Big swings in the market
tested investors last year,
and many retirement
investors reacted by doing
nothing.
Among those with
401(k) plans at Vanguard,
for example, only 11
percent made a trade in
their account. Thats the
lowest level since
Vanguard began tracking
the data in 1999.
One reason may be that
more investors are opting
for target-date retirement
funds that gradually shift
from stocks to bonds as
retirement nears.
DEEP IMPACT
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) wasnt the worst stock in the Standard & Poors
500 index last quarter, but it caused the most damage. Thats because
of the way the index is calculated, where changes in a companys mar-
ket size carry more weight than its stock price. So even though Alpha
Natural Resources (ANR) plunged 43 percent, the most in the index, it
had a minor impact on investors of S&P 500 index funds. The companys
small size meant it lost $1.5 billion in market value, just 0.3 percent of
the indexs drop last quarter. JPMorgan Chase, meanwhile, fell by $40
billion. It alone accounted for 9 percent of the indexs drop.

RICH SPENDING
Financial analysts are getting
more doubtful that the wealthy
will keep spending.
Volatile stock markets
mean wealthy shoppers are
more cautious, and Europes
economic troubles could mean
fewer tourists visiting U.S. de-

lyst Deborah Weinswig. She
recently downgraded Saks
(SKS), Bloomingdales parent
Macys (M) and Nordstrom
(JWN) on worries about slow-
ing spending.

Charles de Vaulx is a value-ori-
ented mutual fund manager who
invests in stocks that he believes
are priced at a discount relative
to a companys prospects. Much
of Europe is in a recession, so
the continent might not seem an
obvious place to find strong earn-
ings. But the co-manager of IVA
Worldwide and IVA International
is finding opportunities in stocks
of small- to mid-sized European
companies that generate plenty
of their sales outside of Europe.
Heres de Vaulxs take on invest-
ing in Europe as its leaders strug-
gle to contain the continents debt
crisis.
Where does a value inves-
tor find opportunity in Europe
these days?
You must be very selective. What
has been striking around the world
and in Europe is how the markets
have recently been efficient at dis-
criminating between high-quali-
ty defensive stocks versus more
mediocre or cyclical business-
es. Examples of such defensive
stocks include global food compa-
nies, such as Nestle and Sodexo,
and Diageo, the United Kingdom-
based liquor producer.
The prices of some of these
stocks have risen so much that
theyre at or near all-time highs. At
IVA, we have a bias toward high-
quality businesses. Wed rather
pay up for quality than try to pay
as little as possible at the risk of
buying into mediocre business-
es. So unfortunately, we havent
been able to buy the highest-qual-
ity businesses in Europe because
they havent come down in price
enough for us.
So whats a good alternative to
large-cap, high-quality Europe-
an stocks?
Weve been looking at small-
and mid-cap stocks. Those stocks
are less liquid and traded less fre-
quently, and theyve declined to
the point where theyve become
cheaper than the larger names.
One that we like is Teleperfor-
mance, a French-based glob-
al company that operates call
centers. The bulk of their profits
come from the U.S. Then theres
a French conglomerate called
Lagardere Groupe, and Cap Gem-
ini, an information technology ser-
vices company. Some of these
names have come down in price
enough that we find them quite at-
tractive.
What about European bank
stocks, which have struggled
during the debt crisis?
We bought very small position
late last year in Switzerland-based
UBS. Its a very well-capitalized
bank, especially with its strong pri-
vate wealth business. But weve
looked at Spanish banks like Ban-
co Santander, and the French and
German banks, and they strike us
as grossly undercapitalized. We
are appalled by how slowly Euro-
pean regulators and policymak-
ers have moved since early 2009.
They forgot to force banks to re-
capitalize. American policymakers
did much better in early 2009 forc-
ing many U.S. banks to recapital-
ize.

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

Dividends keep rising, and payouts increased by a
net of $12 billion last quarter, according to S&P Dow
Jones Indices.
Thats good news for yield-hungry investors who are
getting scant interest from their bonds. Dividend stocks
are more volatile than bonds, but many now carry high-
er yields. A10-year Treasury note yields about 1.6 per-
cent, down from 5.2 percent five years ago.
This screen shows the companies in the Standard
& Poors 500 index that have at least doubled their divi-
dends so far this year. Leading the list is software com-
pany CATechnologies, which announced in January
that it would quintuple its dividend as part of a program
that also authorized up to $1.5 billion in stock buybacks.
CAs hike is part of a growing dividend culture
among technology stocks. The industry contributes
13.8 percent of all the dividends paid by S&P 500
companies. Thats second only to consumer staples
companies at 14.4 percent.

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

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

Invest With
Warren Buffett
When you hear Berkshire Hatha-
way (NYSE: BRK-B), youll prob-
ably think Warren Buffett. Buffett
is only one part of why Berkshire
Hathaway might be a key compo-
nent of your portfolio, though.
At its core, Berkshire Hathaway is
an insurance company, owning the
gecko-fronted GEICO, as well as
more specialized insurance opera-
tions. But its also a railroad opera-
tor, having bought BNSF. And its
a chocolatier, with Sees Candies.
Its also an energy utility, a paint
company, an underwear manufac-
turer, a furniture seller, a modular-
home builder, a fine-jewelry seller,
a boot maker and much more.
(Youll find a list of its subsidiaries
at berkshirehathaway.com.)
Its also an asset manager,
with a massive stock portfolio
that includes some big positions.
Indeed, it owns 8.8 percent of the
whole Coca-Cola company, 7.6
percent of Wells Fargo, 5.5 percent
of IBM and 13 percent of American
Express. (By the way, The Motley
Fool owns shares of these compa-
nies and Berkshire Hathaway
itself and/or has recommended
them in its newsletters.)
Despite all his stock holdings,
Buffett greatly prefers to buy entire
companies and let their talented
managers keep running them,
sending the cash they generate to
Omaha, for him to invest elsewhere.
Berkshire offers high-quality diver-
sity with great long-term promise.

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

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

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

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JULY 8, 2012
timesleader.com
CAMDEN SOUTH
CAROLINA politics
never fails to amuse
and bemuse.
A recent ethics
imbroglio between
Republican Gov.
Nikki Haley and GOP activist John
Rainey is a case in point.
The squabble would be of passing
provincial interest if Haley werent a
rising star often mentioned on lists of
potential vice presidential candi-
dates.
And had she not called Rainey, a
nationally recognized philanthropist
and community bridge-builder, a
racist, sexist bigot.
Such charges deserve clarification
and context.
Haley made the remarks during a
state House Ethics Committee hear-
ing that was prompted by a com-
plaint Rainey filed alleging that Ha-
ley had lobbied illegally while she
was a legislator. Haley has been clear-
ed of any wrongdoing and theres no
need to re-litigate here, though Rain-
ey promises that the issue is not
dead.
Meanwhile, her invectives toward
Rainey, though perhaps understan-
dable given an exchange between
them (about which more anon), are
contradicted by his record. Rainey is
anything but racist, sexist or bigoted.
Haleys feelings apparently had
been hurt during her one meeting
with Rainey while she was a guberna-
torial candidate. She had sought the
meeting, doubtless hoping for fi-
nancial and political support, but
Rainey was skeptical. He knew noth-
ing about her at the time, he told me,
and couldnt find anyone who did.
Everyone he spoke to said the same
thing in so many words: I dont
know anything about her, but I know
shes the partys candidate and I sup-
port her.
That, Rainey told me, is the
kind of thing that makes me want to
throw up. Party loyalty over all
other considerations is what ails
American politics, he said.
In questioning Haley at the meet-
ing, Rainey indicated that all cards
needed to be on the table, that he
didnt want to find out at some point
that her family had ties to terrorists.
Haley, who is of Sikh Indian descent,
clearly took offense.
Nevertheless, she wrote a nice note
to him, Rainey said, remarking that
she never showed any indication of
offense during their meeting until he
raised questions about her lobbying
activities. That was the end of the
meeting, Rainey said, but his curi-
osity was further piqued. He began
probing her past and raised questions
about what he viewed as ethical
transgressions.
Rainey doesnt recall making the
specific terrorist remark, but takes
the word of others present that he
did. Any such comment, he insists,
would have been in a jocular, expan-
sive fashion, rather than mean-spirit-
ed.
Rainey is known to be outspoken
and irreverent, but also as a scrapper
for fairness and reconciliation. Com-
ments offered in jest or offhandedly
nonetheless can be wounding, which
Rainey acknowledges and now has
experienced.
Inarguably, the governors charges,
made publicly and aimed at a citizen,
albeit a powerful one, are far more
damaging than whatever Rainey said
during a private meeting. Judge as
you might, but consider the following
facts before accepting Haleys in-
dictment of Rainey.
For no personal gain, Rainey fre-
quently has raised money and orga-
nized groups in common cause
across party lines. He and wife, Anne,
marched in 2000 with 46,000 others
to protest the Confederate flag,
which then flew atop the South Car-
olina Capitol dome. He personally
hosted several private meetings with
NAACP and legislative leaders to find
a compromise for the flags removal.
He served as executive producer

CAN YOU
say why
America is
the greatest
country in
the world?
The ques-
tion proceeds of course,
from an assumption, i.e.,
that America is, indeed, the
greatest nation on Earth.
When it is posed by a chip-
per college student to Will
McAvoy, the dyspeptic cable
news anchor played by Jeff
Daniels in the new HBO
series The Newsroom, he
gores that assumption with
acid glee.
By no standard or at
least, no standard he cares
to acknowledge does McA-
voy believe America is still
the worlds greatest nation.
Freedom? Thats hardly
unique, he says, noting that
Canada, the United King-
dom, France, Germany and
Japan are all free. And he
ticks off a number of other
measures literacy, life
expectancy, math, exports,
infant mortality by which,
he says, America now lags
much of the world.
Therefore, he says, Amer-
ica is, in fact, not the great-
est nation on the planet.
There is something telling
and true in the crestfallen
expressions with which the
audience greets that declara-
tion. Its as if someone has
switched off the sun.
America believes in noth-
ing quite so deeply as its
own greatness.
There is something quin-
tessentially us about that
belief. The Japanese, we
might presume, love Japan.
Surely the Canadians feel a
swelling pride at the sight of
their flag and the Spanish
stand a little straighter at
the playing of their national
anthem. But does any other
nation feel the need to so
routinely assure itself and
remind others that it is the
most excellent of them all?
America, says Sean Han-
nity with numbing regu-
larity, is the best, greatest
nation God has ever given
man on the face of the
Earth. It might be said, that
the seed of American great-
ness lies in the very need to
be great, to raise the foam
index finger and chant
USA! USA! to live up to
our own self-image.
Unfortunately, the seed of
American self-delusion lies
in the same place. To read
the test scores, to watch the
clown show that passes for
TV news, to walk the board-
ed up streets of downtown
Wherever, USA., to talk to a
father about his kids future,
is to take the fictional news
anchors point:
Namely, that there is
something sad about yelling,
Were number one! when
you are, in fact, not.
But and a character on
the show reminds McAvoy of
this we can be, always.
The potential of it lies in
Americas endless capacity
for reinvention, the path to
it in Americas matchless
sense of mission. The nation
always has risen to the chal-
lenge of greatness when it
had a goal, a purpose to
unite behind, a thing to get
done. That is the story of
the Revolution, the Union
victory, the Great Depres-
America the greatest? Not without a mission.

orget that image of a hos-
pice worker sittingnext toa
hospital bed in a dimly lit
room. Today, hospice care is deliv-
ered everywhere from the golf
course tothe casino. As they brace
for the eventual needs of the aging
baby boom generation, hospice
providers are working to diversify
their services and dispel miscon-
ceptions about what they do.
Chief among those myths
is the notion that hospice
consists of friendly visitors
who sit in a darkened room
and hold Grandmas hand
while she dies, says Robin
Stawasz, family services di-
rector at Southern Tier Hos-
pice and Palliative Care in
upstate New York.
Its just not what we do.
We come in and help people
go golfing or go snowbird
down to Florida, or go out to
dinner several nights a
week. We help them get to
the casinos on weekends,
she said. This is not getting
ready todie. This is living

According to the National
Hospice and Palliative Care
Organization, an estimated
1.58 million patients re-
ceived hospice care from
more than 5,000 programs
nationwide in 2010, more
than double the number of
patients serveda decade ear-
lier. More than 40 percent of
all deaths in the United
States that year were under
the care of hospice, which
provides medical care, pain
management, and emotion-
al and spiritual support to
patients with terminal ill-
nesses.
Both figures have grown
steadily and are expected to
rise as baby boomers the

78 million Americans born be-
tween1946 and1964 get older.
Its a complicated time and an
exciting time, but its also, in
many ways, going to be a very
daunting time for hospices to try
to find ways to take care of all
these people, said Donald Schu-
macher, president and CEOof the
national hospice group.
For the vast majority of pa-
tients, hospice means periodic
visits at home froma teamof hos-
pice workers. Amuchsmaller per-
centage receives continuous nurs-
ing care at home or inpatient care
at a hospice house.
Hospice is covered under Medi-
care, Medicaid, and most private
healthinsuranceplans. According
to the National Hospice and Palli-
ative Care Organization, 84 per-
cent of patients receiving hospice
care in 2010 were covered by
Medicare. The vast majority of
those patients received routine
home care visits from hospice
workers as opposed to around-
the-clock nursing care or inpa-
tient care and at that level of
care, the Medicare reimburse-
ment was about $126 per day, ac-
cording to the organization.
Medicare covers hospice care if
a doctor determines someone has
fewer than six months to live and
if the patient forgoes any further
life-prolongingtreatment, though
under the new federal health care
overhaul law, it will experiment
with covering both curative and
supportive care at a number of
test sites nationwide.
In the meantime, hospice pro-
grams are growing in number and
scope. Recognizing that people
are living longer and with com-
plex illnesses, theyve been
branchingout intoother pre-hos-
pice areas for patients who are
not terminally ill. For example,
some centers have become certi-
fied as so-called PACE providers,
an acronym that stands for pro-
gram of all-inclusive care for the
elderly.
Hospices are trying to throw a
broader net out to provide servic-
es to people before they become
eligible for hospice, Schumacher
said.
Another trendis focusingonpa-
tients with specific diagnoses.
While hospices for decades over-
whelmingly cared for people with
cancer, by 2010, cancer diagnoses
had dropped to 36 percent of pa-
tients served, prompting some
centers to develop programs
geared toward heart disease, de-
mentia and other diagnoses.
We are realizing that while our
roots were really in oncology, that
model is not the best response for
all patients, Stawasz said. We
neededto really look againat how
we were doing things. It is not a
one-size-fits-all kind of treatment
plan, she said.
After working with providers
and patients to figure out where
traditional hospice had been mis-
sing the mark, Stawaszs agency
launched its specialized program
for patients who have suffered
heart failure in 2009. While
theres usually a clear line be-
tween medical treatment and
comfort care for cancer patients,
things get blurry with other con-
ditions, she said. So the agency
started focusing on the reason be-
hind each service, rather than the
service itself.
If the real focus is to help
someone stay comfortable, then
thats hospice, even if its tradi-
tionally something a little bit
more aggressive, such as IV anti-
biotics or IV diuretics or that sort
of thing, or hospitalizations, she
said. So if the goal is for comfort
and the treatment has a reasona-
ble expectation to provide mea-
ningful comfort, then thats hos-
pice.
Though he praises such pro-
grams, one expert in end-of-life is-
sues says the hospice industry
and American society as a whole
are far fromreadyfor the agingba-
by boom generation. Unless car-
ing for people at the end of life be-
comes a larger part of the national
agenda, the rising tide of elders is
bound to result in a flood of un-
met needs, said Dr. Ira Byock, di-
rector of palliative medicine at
New Hampshires Dartmouth-
Hitchcock Medical Center.
He points out that while the
number of people using hospice
has grown, the average length of
stay actually dipped slightly in
2010 compared with the previous
year, raising concerns that provid-
ers arent reaching patients and
their family caregivers in a timely
manner.
We often quip that in hospice
care these days, were doing
brink-of-death care rather than
end-of-life care, Byock said.
When it comes to illness, dy-
ing, and death, the American
mindset is I dont want to think
about it. But Byock hopes baby
boomers will take back the
end of life in the same way they
took charge of the beginning by
pushing for the natural child-
birth movement and efforts to
bring fathers into the delivery
room.
It was driven by the boomers
as citizens and consumers; it
was an advocacy movement. A
very similar thing needs to hap-
pen now, he said.
Hospice workers say they are
more ready than other health
care providers to deal with baby
boomers and whatever changes
health care reform brings be-
cause theyve been working
with limited budgets for years.
Weve been meeting that
triple threat of providing bet-
ter care with higher patient
satisfaction for less money,
Stawasz said. I think hospice
is perhaps standing as a model
for others as we are dealing
with the challenges of the in-
creased needs that baby boom-
ers represent.
Laurie Farmer of the Concord
Regional Visiting Nurse Associ-
ation agrees. And she adds that
hospice is all about providing
individualized care, something
that baby boomers likely will
demand.
The baby boom generation
comes as very educated con-
sumers, and so we are feeling
that we have been meeting that
challenge, she said.
At age 70, Liz Murphy, of
Deerfield, N.H., is a fewyears ol-
der than the oldest baby boom-
ers. But like many of the baby
boomers served by the Concord
hospice program, she did her
homework before deciding sev-
eral weeks ago to move into the
programs hospice house.
Murphy, a longtime State-
house lobbyist, was found sev-
eral years ago to have an ex-
tremely rare cancer of the con-
nective tissue that settled main-
ly in her bones but also has
spread to her brain, liver and
other organs. She started con-
sidering hospice after a spate of
surgeries just weeks apart re-
sulted in no improvements.
Murphy said she knew where
the hospice house was, but be-
yond that, knew little about it
before she started looking into
it. But once she did, she made
her decision quickly.
I talked it through with my
husband and my children and
anybody else who I thought
would have an interest in it, and
I feel as though I got informa-
tion from as many people as I
needed. I came and looked at it,
and Im very happy with it, she
said.
Its been great. I love the
place. Ive been very fortunate
that the people who are here are
people who are happy to work
with me, and are interested in
working together with my fam-
ily, my husband and me to give
us the program were interested
in.

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

Editorial
We should all bet on the country,
but we shouldnt double down on
Barack Obama.
TimPawlenty
The former Minnesota governor, and potential
Republican vice presidential nominee, trailed
President Obamas campaign through Ohio last week, contending the
country cant afford four more years of ineffective economic recovery
efforts.
THE BAND broke up.
We hit the final chord.
We heard sweet applause.
And then, after 20 years
together, we walked away.
There was no fighting.
No musical differences.
You need to be musical to have musical
differences.
We were not really musical.
We were writers. Novelists. Memoirists.
Humorists. Stephen King was in the band.
So was Matt Groening, who created The
Simpsons. So was Amy Tan, Dave Barry,
Ridley Pearson, Scott Turow, Greg Iles, Roy
Blount Jr., James McBride many others
over the years.
We were called the Rock Bottom Remain-
ders, and when they write the penultimate
history of rock n roll, we will not be in it.
Not even a footnote. But we performed all
over the country and we brought people to
their feet, even if those feet were headed
toward the door.
We sang old rock n roll, stuff from the
1950s and 60s. We played it on guitars, bass,
guitars, keyboards, more guitars, and when I
say played, I mean we moved our hands
around in the way that real musicians do
when they are making, you know, music.
Only with us, the discussions went like this:
Hey, what key were we just in?
A.
Oh. That explains it.
But we laughed. We made feedback. We
broke strings. We dressed in costumes. Tan
wore a dominatrix outfit for These Boots
Are Made for Walkin that would make
Fifty Shades of Grey turn 50 shades of red.
I donned a gold lam jacket and did a very
bad Elvis Presley imitation, wearing a wig
whose sideburns, by the end, more closely
resembled a Hasidic rabbis than the Kings.
We played for charity, and our audiences
were charitable. They laughed. They sang
along. We filled nightclubs and ballrooms
and outdoor stages. Now and then, someone
would throw underwear. Sometimes it was
mens underwear. Once, a Stephen King fan
lit her fingernails on fire.
Over the years, some real musicians
hopped on stage with us. Bruce Springsteen.
Darlene Love. Judy Collins. Lesley Gore.
Warren Zevon was a frequent member. Rog-
er McGuinn toured with us for years. I dont
know why. Maybe pity.
Or maybe this: It was fun.
And we felt young.
And nobody talked shop.
People form bands for lots of reasons. To
make music, sure. But also to meet girls. To
rebel. To wear Spandex.
We did it, I think, to remember. Lives get
complicated. Fun becomes a luxury. The
Remainders got together each year and, in a
way, it was like summer camp. We left be-
hind the trappings of everyday life. We wore
T-shirts and sneakers. We rode buses. We
curled up and napped in tiny dressing
rooms. We ate pizza at 1 a.m. We sang sim-
ple songs from our youth, with lyrics like,
Da doo ron ron and Papa oom mow
mow.
We made noise.
It was beautiful noise, the sound of happy
adults not taking themselves too seriously.
Springsteen told us: Youre not that bad,
but dont get any better. Otherwise, youll
just be another lousy band. So we aspired
to lousy.
Thats OK. We knew our place. As Barry
often said, We play music as well as Metal-
lica writes novels. We were not quite a
garage band. More like a shed band.
But life goes on. We used to call ourselves
the ever-expanding band because pretty
much anyone who ever wrote a word wound
up onstage with us. But then Frank
McCourt, who played harmonica, passed
away. And Zevon passed away. King battled
injuries from a terrible accident. Greg Iles
lost a leg.
Then, five weeks ago, the woman who
invented the band, Kathi Kamen Goldmark,
died from breast cancer.
And for the first time, the crowded stage
felt a little empty.
We discussed it. Everyone agreed. The
winds were blowing. The band would end.
We played two final shows recently in
southern California, and fittingly, the clos-
ing number, the easiest song we do and in
this band, that means pretty damn easy we
screwed up. It was Wild Thing. How do
you screw up Wild Thing? We blew the
open, and then Blount was supposed to
sing, I love you. Instead, he crooned, You
love me.
I think it was the band talking through
him. You love me. We did. Two decades.
Never made a record. And we had a blast.
You think about the groups you join in life,
the ones with instruments and the ones
without, and youll conclude what could,
essentially, be an epitaph for the Rock Bot-
tom Remainders; as long as you are in tune
with one another, you dont really need to be
in tune.
Among friends, we can find a certain kind of harmony

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

LYMPIC DREAMS WILL crystallize, or crumble, lat-
er this month in London as the Games of the XXX
Olympiad get under way. Inspired by the pending ar-
rival of this international sporting contest, we fancied
in what athletic event each of the following individuals or
things would compete were they so gifted with the talent.
Gov. Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee
for president.
Fencing. He seems perpetually en garde and poised to stick it
to his opponent at every opportunity. But hes way too refined
for boxing.
The city of Scranton, which this month reportedly lacks
enough money to pay its employees more than minimumwage.
Diving. It spends most of its time underwater.
Wilkes-Barre Mayor TomLeighton, who recently admitted
to frequenting the citys fuel tanks without ever logging how
much he dispensed into his personal vehicle.
Marathon. This guy never runs out of gas.
Wilkes-Barre Parking Authority members, whose recent
closed-door meeting with the mayor apparently will trigger a
sequence of events leading to the removal of certain members
andpossible reorganizationof the citys parkingassets: garages,
meters and lots
Water polo. You know theres lots of bruising action taking
place in the pool; but most of it occurs belowthe surface, out of
public view.
Laureen Cummings, the little-known Republican candi-
date for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvanias 17th Congressional Dis-
trict, who faced no opponent in the primary.
Equestrian. Shell need lots of cash just to compete.
Wilkes-Barre City Council, some of whose current and for-
mer members were in the spotlight earlier this year for collect-
ing generous, taxpayer-funded meal allowances (sans receipts)
after attending conferences.
Rhythmic gymnastics. Theymight not medal, but whocares?
Pack your bags, dude! Free lodging in London!
Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty.
Synchronized swimming. When is this guy not treading wa-
ter? (See above: The city of Scranton.)
President Obama.
Triple jump. Health care. Immigration. Jobs. Any one could
trip him up.
Paige Selenski, 24, a former Luzerne County resident and
Dallas High School alumna.
Field hockey. The real deal. Shes expected to be part of the
squad when it takes on Germany on July 29. Go, USA!

QUOTE OF THE DAY
T
HE BIG PHYSICS
news last week was
not the announce-
ment of the Higgs bo-
son, which could explain how
the universe began, but some-
thing closer to home: the
speed of light with which Har-
risburg lawmakers passed 60
bills in their frenzy to make
the governors budget dead-
line.
As reported in the Inquirer,
the General Assembly fast-
tracked bills that few mem-
bers actually had time to read.
Some were complex, like a
moratorium on gas drilling in
southeastern Pennsylvania.
More egregiously, they
passed these bills by forgoing
their own rule that prohibits
debate after 11 p.m.
That rule was a cornerstone
in a set of reforms following
the scandal in 2005 over legis-
lative pay raises that effective-
ly were passed in the middle
of the night, with no hearings.
The states gaming law also
was the result of such mid-
night madness.
As a result of the public out-
rage over this practice, then-
House Speaker Dennis
OBrien convened a legisla-
tive reform committee that
held hearings on rules reform
that included rules like the 11
p.m. cutoff, a waiting period
for votes onamendedbills and
more transparency on Senate
and House votes. At the time,
such reforms were called the
first step down a long road of
restoring faith in govern-
ment.
That road to reformis clear-
ly on the list of the roads and
bridges in this state that are
overdue for repair. And that
faith in government?
Gov. Tom Corbett cam-
paigned on legislative reform,
and promised to make it a pri-
ority. But aside fromtinkering
around the edges on a few fix-
es, the governor has retreated
from that promise.
Laws that will have impact
on the lives of many Pennsyl-
vanians should not be done at
warp speed, in the middle of
the night, no matter how
much the governor wants to
beat a budget deadline. Its
time to push for real reform
and real respect for the peo-
ple.

TL edit ignores
school tax reality
T
hank you, Gov. Tom Cor-
bett! No new taxes in the
just-passed state budget.
However, the editorial writ-
ers at The Times Leader dont
see it that way.
The Times Leaders July 1
editorial states, But the
school boards either cant or
wont (find ways to further
reduce their districts expens-
es).
This is referring to the local
school boards that have the
responsibility to maintain
fiscal integrity/reality but
have failed miserably, especial-
ly in the Pittston Area district
where I reside.
Our board raised our taxes
2.4 percent.
Now, Mr. TL Editor, did the
Pittston Area board, as you
say, have any other choice,
hmmm? Lets see. How about
some of the benefits that the
teachers/administrators re-
ceive and couldnt, or
wouldnt, or wont be touched
by the school board?
By the way, the vote was
9-0.
Gee, do you think the aver-
age taxpayer in Pittston Area
knows that if a teacher turns
down the family plan health
benefit package because he or
she already has health cov-
erage, that teacher gets
$11,000 a year just because he
said no. Thats $917 per
month.
Do they know that a 30-year
teacher, just because he or she
retired, gets a parting gift of
$30,000 spread over five
years?
Administrators get a whop-
ping 70 percent of their final
salary just because they re-
tired.
These benefits would make
a porn star blush. Mr. TL
Editor, look around. People
are really hurting with job
prospects nonexistent and
minimal health care coverage
a daily struggle, and you seem
to defend the Pittston Area
board? Wow.
You should apologize, and
the entire Pittston Area
School Board should resign.

Healthy solution?
Affordable care
I
have a question for the
politicians and all those
people cheering the Su-
preme Court decision uphold-
ing Obamacare: Has it oc-
curred to you that the reason
so many Americans lack
health insurance is that they
cannot afford the premiums?
The most obnoxious provi-
sion of Obamacare is the
individual mandate, which
forces everyone to buy health
insurance coverage from pri-
vate carriers. It is a huge gift
from the politicians to the
insurance companies.
I was laid off from my job in
November. I had to dump my
COBRA coverage when it
became a choice between
having health insurance or
having a roof over my head
and food on my table. Those
$430 monthly premiums (sin-
gle man living alone with no
dependents) could buy a lot of
groceries and pay a lot of
utility bills.
Or would the Obamacare
supporters have me eating cat
food in the dark?
The rallying cry of the Re-
publican Party is the repeal of
Obamacare. Lest the Repub-
licans become too self-righ-
teous here, might I remind
them that their darling boy,
Mitt Romney, pushed through
an Obamacare-type law,
including an individual man-
date, when he was governor of
Massachusetts?
If this country is to have
universal health care, as most
other developed countries do,
we need to go to a single-
payer system. How do we pay
for it?
How about ending the war
in Afghanistan, ending all
foreign aid, especially to such
so-called allies as Pakistan,
and bringing our troops home
from Germany and all the
many other countries where
they do not belong, and then
using the money saved to pay
for universal health care?

Coal still kingly
resource for U.S.
I
am writing to thank U.S.
Senate candidate Tom
Smith for his June 11 com-
mentary (Job-killing regu-
lations are hiking your electric
bill) that shed light on the
Environmental Protection
Agencys war against coal.
No other fuel in America is
as abundant or affordable as
coal. Pennsylvania relies on
coal to power 2.7 homes and
145,000 businesses. As far as
jobs are concerned, coal pro-
duction employs 52,000 peo-
ple statewide, with a com-
bined payroll of $3.5 billion
annually.
However, the EPA has plans
to force utilities to cut back on
coal use.
In these economic times, we
have to be conscious of the
looming potential energy
crisis. If the EPA continues to
succeed with its plans, we will
see increased electricity prices
and thousands of layoffs.
Recently, U.S. Sen. Bob
Casey, along with 53 law-
makers in Washington, voted
to continue the harsh regu-
lations being implemented on
coal by the EPA. Senator
Caseys vote is a vote against
the most reliable way to gener-
ate electricity and create jobs
for Pennsylvanians. This is
another example of the Oba-
ma-Casey agenda of overregu-
lation and war on coal.
Our leaders in Washington
must stand strong against the
EPAs anti-coal regulations to
allow Pennsylvanias coal
industry to keep providing
jobs and reasonable electricity
costs.

Mundy challenged
on her tax claims
T
here are a few statements
in state Rep. Phyllis Mun-
dys letter (June 24) about
House Bill 1776, the Property
Tax Independence Act, that
need to be challenged.
Representative Mundy
states that HB1776 is terribly
flawed but gives no evidence
to support the claim.
HB1776 was conceived in
full cooperation with 72 mem-
ber groups of the grassroots
Pennsylvania Coalition of
Taxpayer Associations and has
been fully vetted by its mem-
bers. I would like to hear spe-
cifically in what way the legis-
lation is flawed.
Representative Mundy was
the person at the HB1776
House Finance Committee
hearings who made a claim of
a $3.5 billion funding gap.
Rep. Jim Cox, the prime spon-
sor of the legislation to elim-
inate school property taxes,
patiently attempted to explain
to Mundy why her number
was incorrect.
All the numbers used to
craft HB1776 were supplied
by the House Appropriations
Committees staff and are
accurate.
Representative Mundy
vigorously opposed similar
versions of property tax elim-
ination legislation in the past.
She states she has worked for
property tax relief for 30
years. But her solutions for
property taxes have failed.
Could Representative Mun-
dys sudden shift to nominally
support HB1776 be due to
having a challenger for her
seat who pledges to work for
enactment of HB1776?
Time for a change. Vote
Aaron Kaufer for state repre-
sentative.

Real solutions for
real problems
S
oon after Rev. Michael
Brewster of Mount Zion
Baptist Church comment-
ed about the shooting death of
local youth Tyler Winstead
appealing to God to stop the
violence in this community
and talking about employ
(ing) the weapon of uncondi-
tional and radical love for
humanity I called these
comments vapid and a failure
because they did not offer
earthly solutions to earthly
problems.
As an atheist, and more
specifically a humanist, I view
these comments as contrib-
uting nothing to combat very
real problems that ought to be
addressed by human action.
Humanists and atheists
dont look to supernatural
solutions for earthly prob-
lems, but rather look to earth-
ly solutions for earthly prob-
lems. Real action from people
on their feet, rather than those
in prayerful kneeling, is re-
quired for change. We find no
good reason to believe that
prayer solves any problems or
that any gods if they exist
intervene in human affairs.
It is wonderful that Rev.
Brewster recently has taken
action by holding community
meetings in conjunction with
the Building Bridges initia-
tive. It seems that many peo-
ple in this community have
realized that prayer is not
sufficient to deal with our
earthly problems.
For those who believe that
God only helps those who
help themselves, it seems
evident that people helping
themselves cant be distin-
guished from God helping
people. And we all know
which one is the more reason-
able explanation.

Client happy with
cited nail salon
T
wo very fine women run a
nail salon in Wilkes-Barre,
at which I have been a
customer for quite a number
of years.
Recently, The Times Leader
printed an article relating to
information provided from the
Pennsylvania Department of
State that indicated this small
business practiced nail tech-
nology in a grossly incompe-
tent and/or unethical man-
ner.
I would like to bring to your
attention that this incident
occurred more than a year
ago, and it has not deterred
me from remaining a faithful
customer.
The salon was undergoing a
facelift, as provided by the
owner of the building, which
included replacing the door
and windows. Prior to that,
the front window displayed
quite well that, in fact, this
business was known as Get
Nailed. Was this fact taken
into consideration by the
inspector?
Second, the tool that alleg-
edly was utilized supposedly
had been purchased at a local
beauty-supply business, which
sells only to licensed cosme-
tologists. Has that business
been cited?
It is my opinion as a cus-
tomer of this newspaper for
years that it should now do a
positive story on this small
business and the two lovely
women who run it!

V I E W S
THOUGH
overshadowed
by the shock-
ing Supreme
Court deci-
sion on health
care, the
courts Arizo-
na immigration decision, is-
sued three days earlier, remains
far more significant than appre-
ciated.
It generally was viewed as
mixed or ambiguous because
the Justice Department suc-
ceeded in striking down three
of the laws provisions. Howev-
er, regarding the laws central
and most controversial element
requiring officers to inquire
into the immigration status of
anyone picked up for some
other violation the ruling was
unanimous.
Not a single justice found
merit in the administrations
claim that this show me your
papers provision constituted
an impermissible pre-emption
of federal authority.
On what grounds unconstitu-
tional? Presumably because
officials would be asking about
the immigration status of all,
rather than adhering to the
federal enforcement priorities
regarding which illegal im-
migrants would not be subject
to deportation.
Under the Obama adminis-
trations newly promulgated
regulations, therell be no more
deportation of young people
brought here illegally as chil-
dren. Presumably, the Arizona
law is invalid because an officer
might be looking into the sta-
tus of a young person the feds
now classify as here legally.
Beyond being logically ridic-
ulous if a state law is uncon-
stitutional because its out of
sync with the federal govern-
ments current priorities, does
it become constitutional again
when federal policy changes?
this argument is an astound-
ing assertion of federal exec-
utive power, wrote Justice
Samuel Alito in a concurrence.
The Obama Justice Depart-
ment is suggesting that a state
law may be pre-empted, not
because it conflicts with a
federal statute or regulation,
but because it is inconsistent
with a federal agencys current
enforcement priorities. Those
priorities, however, are not law.
They are nothing more than
agency policy.
And theres the rub: the
Obama administrations in-
ability to distinguish policy
from law. This becomes partic-
ularly perverse regarding im-
migration when, as Justice
Antonin Scalia points out,
what the administration del-
icately calls its priorities is
quite simply a determination
not to enforce the law as
passed.
Consider this breathtaking
cascade: An administration
violates its constitutional duty
to execute the law by deliber-
ately refusing to enforce it. It
then characterizes its non-
enforcement as simply estab-
lishing priorities. It then tries
to strike down a state law on
immigration on the grounds
that it contradicts federal law
by actually trying to enforce it!
The logic is circular, ox-
ymoronic and the very defini-
tion of executive overreach.
During the Bush-43 years, we
were repeatedly treated to
garment-rending about the
imperial presidency, to major
hyperventilation about the
unitary executive. Yet the
current administrations impe-
riousness has earned little
comparable attention.
Perhaps because Obama has
been so ineffective. Its hard to
call someone imperial whos
failed so consistently. Or may-
be not. You can surely be impe-
rial and unsuccessful.
Regardless of results, howev-
er, Obamas presumption is
Olympian. He takes America
into a war in Libya with United
Nations approval, but none
from Congress. Yet that awful
Bush had the constitutional
decency to twice seek and gain
congressional approval before
he initiated hostilities.
The U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services
issues Obamacare regula-
tions treading so heavily on the
free-exercise rights of Catholic
institutions that Obamas own
allies rebel. The new regulation
concocted to tame the fire-
storm blithely orders private
insurers to provide free contra-
ceptives to employees of the
objecting religious institutions.
And now immigration. Oba-
ma adopts a policy of major
non-enforcement of the im-
migration law a variant of the
very DREAM Act he could not
get through even a Democratic
Congress and promulgates it
unilaterally, while his Justice
Department claims the right to
invalidate state laws that might
in some way impinge on that
very non-enforcement.
The GOP presidential cam-
paign centers on the ineffec-
tiveness of this administration:
failure at home, passivity
abroad. A fine electoral strate-
gy. But as citizens we should
be grateful. Given the adminis-
trations extravagant ambitions,
incompetence is its saving
grace.

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Don Carey and
words by Mark E. Jones
I SAW an as-
tounding poll
result that 41
percent of
Americans had
no idea the
Supreme Court
had made an
important ruling last month on
health care.
This concurs with other stud-
ies that say more than 60 per-
cent of Americans know little or
nothing about what is con-
tained in the Affordable Care
Act, or Obamacare.
And then it hit me.
The problem in America isnt
the progressive version of
health care, or the conservative
version of health care, it is the
I dont care version of being
an American.
I am an American progres-
sive. But I respect conservatives
who believe that their path is
the best road ahead. And I real-
ly respect independents, people
who make the effort to see the
different sides of an issue and
then judge what they believe is
best for our country.
But I have no respect for
people who just dont care. To
me, they have a lot of nerve
calling themselves American. If
you ever have known immi-
grants to America, whether
they be our own parents or
grandparents, or new immi-
grants, they yearn for the self-
governance that America has to
offer. It is a disgrace that Amer-
icans who have been born into
this great legacy do not have
the decency to be informed, to
care.
Of course, they have a right
not to care. And I have a right
not to respect them.
It is because of selfish Amer-
icans such as these that the
leading category targeted by
politicians today is the unin-
formed voter.
It is because of these people
that our political dialogue has
been lowered to the level of an
amoeba.
It is because of careless
Americans that powerful forces
can take the tragedy of Sept. 11,
2001 and invade a country that
had nothing to do with it.
It is because of the intellec-
tually numb that we can ignore
science and the destruction of
our environment and that legis-
lators can remove from our
dialogue phrases such as rising
sea levels and global warm-
ing.
It is because of the perpetu-
ally vacuous that international
bankers, nothing more than
glorified criminals, can take
billions of dollars in salaries and
bonuses in the same year that
they nearly destroyed the
worlds financial system. Simi-
larly, it is because of the un-
concerned that the top 1 per-
cent of Americans, an insulated
oligarchy, is allowed to control
90 percent of its assets.
It is the careless who allow
Neanderthals in Congress to
question a womans use of con-
traception under the guise of
freedom of religion.
It is because of the disen-
gaged that a Supreme Court can
make a ruling such as Citizens
United that is infecting our
politics with legalized bribery
of historic proportions.
It is because of those derelict
in their duty as citizens, who
dare to call themselves adults
the people who can name all
of the Kardashian sisters but
cant tell you how many mem-
bers are in the U.S. Senate
that the Senate can misuse the
filibuster rule to thwart major-
ity rule in the U.S. Congress.
It is because of the growing
ranks of crass, self-absorbed
Americans that 40 million peo-
ple dont have health coverage;
that 23 percent of children in
America are living in poverty
and that our educational system
continues to crumble.
So happy Independence week
to all you liberal, conservative,
libertarian and independent
Americans who care enough
about your country to care.
The rest of you really dont
deserve the title of American.
If you dont care, dont call yourself an American

IF Pennsylvanians
have learned anything
from the Jerry Sand-
usky pedophilia case
its this: When adults
suspect child sexual
abuse and dont take
action, it is children
who pay the unthinkable price.
So, as millions point the finger at
Penn State University and vent their
outrage to co-workers over inmate
Sandusky, many people also are asking
themselves, Do I know any child who
might be a victim of abuse, a child
who needs help right now?
To ask that question is to contem-
plate a heroic act: lifting an unbearable
weight from a childs shoulders and
stepping in to be a protector.
Once weve examined our lives and
cleared our own consciences, theres
another question every citizen has a
moral right to ask: Does my govern-
ment know about any children who
are being hurt and need to be rescued
right now?
The answer to that question is yes.
Shortly after the Sandusky case
made national headlines, I was con-
tacted by a young woman in my dis-
trict named Alicia Kozakiewicz. At age
13, Alicia was abducted from her Pitts-
burgh home by a child predator and
held for four days. Alicia said she was
alive today only because law enforce-
ment zeroed in on evidence coming
from the house where she was held
captive. They tracked that evidence
back through the Internet to her loca-
tion, freeing Alicia from a basement
dungeon.
Heres what else Alicia told me:
There are thousands of Pennsylvania
children suffering sexual abuse, and
law enforcement is in possession of
electronic evidence that could lead
directly to their locations. Yet, no
rescue is on the way, because Penn-
sylvania law enforcement is criminally
overwhelmed and underfunded.
If Alicia was right, the Penn State
scandal would pale in comparison.
Alicia and her group, PROTECT, were
telling me that Pennsylvania officials
were failing to act on thousands of
suspected child predators.
My office, together with state Rep.
Mike Sturla, D-Lancaster, began in-
vestigating these charges, and what
we found was shocking.
A national law enforcement nerve
center called Round Up was patrolling
the Internet (just as Alicias rescuers
had done), identifying thousands of
criminal suspects a day who were
trafficking in video and photos of chil-
dren being raped, tortured and abused.
Round Up is a national treasure. It has
helped law enforcement investigators
in all 50 states identify and arrest
thousands of child predators.
Every trafficker in the Round Up
database is a dangerous criminal sus-
pect, of course. But an estimated one
in three is a hands-on abuser.
Here was the biggest surprise. The
Round Up national nerve center is
hosted on the computer servers of the
Pennsylvania State Police.
How many Pennsylvania child pred-
ator suspects might be in the Round
Up database? Congressional testimo-
ny, national law enforcement esti-
mates and reports from Round Up
itself indicate the number of unique
suspects in Pennsylvania can be con-
servatively placed between 5,000 and
20,000.
One is too many.
More alarming, we know from arrest
and prosecution data that most of
these suspects are never arrested or
prosecuted. Worse, large numbers of
suspects are never even referred to
local law enforcement agencies, leav-
ing child-sexual predators at large in
communities.
Thanks to Alicia, 37 state House
members from both parties have
joined me in introducing the Attorney
General Mandated Reporter Act, legis-
lation that would require the attorney
general, or the Pennsylvania Internet
Crimes Against Children Task Force
should she delegate it, to report child
predator suspects seen online to local
law enforcement agencies right away,
unless they are being actively investi-
gated.
The bill, to be known as Alicias
Law, also would provide funding to
train local law enforcement agencies
in this most dangerous of all cyber-
crimes, focusing their efforts on first-
responder activities that might identi-
fy child victims.
Since its introduction in April, Al-
icias Law has been bottled up in com-
mittee, and House leaders have re-
fused to hold hearings. Every day the
House leadership delays is another day
that help wont reach children in peril.
The next time you hear someone
rage against those who kept Sand-
uskys secret, please remember Alicia
and the children she wants to save
today. I hope that every Pennsylvania
resident will join me in demanding
urgent action to pass and fund Alicias
Law.
Is Pennsylvania failing to act on thousands of suspected child predators?

Teach flag thieves
to show respect
I
m writing in regard to the
recent article about thefts of
American flags from a Viet-
nam War Memorial in Ply-
mouth (Valor dishonored,
July 3).
These people, when caught,
should be taught respect for
the flag. Draft them into the
Army for three years. They
will learn respect in basic
training, and after a few
tours of duty in Afghanistan

Leighton deserves
balanced coverage
I
am writing in response to
your editorial regarding
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leightons involvement in the
proposed leasing of the citys
parking facilities (City park-
ing plan seems a real wreck,
June 27).
The city, like many small
and mid-sized cities in the
Northeast, has a shrinking tax
base, increased health care
costs and unsustainable pen-
sion benefit obligations.
Unlike proprietary enter-
prises, municipalities, because
of contractual obligations,
cant reduce costs by simply
reducing the workforce, re-
quiring a larger contribution
from employees for health
care or eliminating benefits.
I believe the mayor deserves
credit for trying to come up
with a creative solution to
solve the financial problems of
the city.
Instead of an analysis of the
financial validity of the plan,
your coverage focused on the
professional fees of Fox Roth-
schild and former city admin-
istrator J.J. Murphy. I assume
Mr. Murphy and Fox Roth-
schild presented engagement
letters to the Parking Author-
ity enumerating services and
fees. Apparently the authority,
or at least some of its mem-
bers, took issue with Mr. Mur-
phys and Fox Rothschilds
fees. The mayor did not en-
gage either Fox Rothschild or
Mr. Murphy; the Parking
Authority did.
In the future I would hope
for more balanced coverage of
Mayor Leighton. In the in-
terest of full disclosure, the
mayor is a friend of mine.

Confidentiality
cloaks local govt
I
was reading The Times
Leaders article saying that
Wilkes-Barre might be liable
to pay taxes on the gas for
which it cannot account. The
thing I found most disturbing
is the fact that the investiga-
tion is confidential.
Why is everything regarding
local and county government
considered confidential when
there is a problem?
We, the voters, elect these
people to represent us, and
they hide behind the veil of
confidentiality when some-
thing bad happens. The peo-
ple have a right to know about
anything involving our hard-
earned tax money.
These people get into office
and they are not held account-
able for their actions. When
they do get caught, with their
hand in the proverbial cookie
jar, they resign their offices
and collect big pensions, all
provided by the taxpayers.
After that, their buddies
sweep everything under the
rug, and we never really know
what happened.
All we know is that taxes
will be raised to pay for these
peoples greed and misman-
agement of public funds.
These politicians seemingly
think that the money and
goods purchased with it
belong to them. It does not; it
belongs to every taxpaying
citizen, and we demand to be
kept abreast of all investiga-
tions and expenditures.
Confidentiality breeds cor-
ruption! When will it all end?
Maybe on Dec. 21.

Use your vote
to make difference
I
am glad to see that many
people are going to be cov-
ered for their medical care
with the passage of Obama-
care.
I am not glad to see how we
are going to pay for it.
All of us on Medicare are
going to see increases in the
amount the government takes
out of our Social Security
checks every month for our
Medicare premiums. For
many of us, it will mean a lot
less to spend on other essen-
tials. For others, it could be
disastrous.
I never liked the idea of my
government getting into the
insurance business. It was
enough when it took over the
automobile and banking in-
dustries. This has to stop. The
only defense we have is our
ballot. Together we can and
must make a difference.
Our country is on a collision
course with reality. Our econo-
my is in dire straights. Not
only are many people unem-
ployed, but many of those who
are lucky to have a job are
actually under-employed and
barely making ends meet.
Where does it all end?
Together we must send a
message to Washington with
our vote in November. We
have to tell the politicians that
we are tired of being thrown
under the bus. We need an
alternative to Obamacare.
If you are not registered to
vote, please do so. If you can
vote, please get out and vote.

Devious GOP plot
hurting our nation
A
month ago Jeb Bush, the
former Florida governor
and son of President Ge-
orge H.W. Bush, sent a chill
through Republicans when he
asserted that they would no
longer nominate someone like
his father for president. More-
over, he said, they wouldnt
even select Ronald Reagan.
These former leaders arent
conservative enough for to-
days Republican Party, he
suggested.
There recently were reports
on several cable news net-
works of a meeting that oc-
curred on the day of Barack
Obamas inauguration. What
happened at this meeting is
recorded in the prologue of
Robert Drapers new book,
Do Not Ask What Good We
Do: Inside the U. S. House of
Representatives. Fifteen
Republicans (seven congress-
men and five senators, plus
three others) met on the eve-
ning of Jan. 20, 2008. Among
the representatives were de-
vious Eric Cantor, slippery
Kevin McCarthy and conniv-
ing Paul Ryan. Senators in-
cluded demented Jim DeMint,
dull-witted Jon Kyl and adulte-
rous John Ensign. Also on
hand were scheming commu-
nications specialist Frank
Luntz, right-wing journalist
Fred Barnes of The Weekly
Standard and the hero of past
controversy, omnipresent
Newt Gingrich. (Please par-
don my lack of enthusiasm for
the above characters, but their
deceitfulness has been a mat-
ter of public record.)
The 15 resolved at this
meeting to do everything they
could to block any initiative
President Obama put forward
to Congress.
One of the great fears Re-
publicans must now have is
that another important nation-
al figure will break ranks and
announce it has all been a ruse
from the beginning and that
the party hasnt acted in good
faith.
Although its possible that
the fateful gathering at an
expense-account restaurant
(between the White House
and the Capitol three and a
half years ago) didnt birth the
angry and wary movement
known as the Tea Party, it
certainly encouraged it. All
the duplicity that character-
izes current conservatives
(especially in Congress) has
had a deleterious effect on
public discourse.

Regulations crush
our self-sufficiency
M
ary Ann Haas couldnt be
more correct (Partisan
gridlock killing econo-
my, July 1).
I have had a small dental lab
for 25 years. All I wanted to do
was make dental prosthetics
for a few dentists and make a
decent living with dignity. I
didnt want to grow a huge
conglomerate. Now, govern-
ment regulations want to
micromanage my one-man
operation just the same as
they do a multimillion-dollar
endeavor.
Remember Hillary Clintons
words? We cannot be held
responsible for undercapital-
ized businesses. That means
if you are a one-person show,
and the regulations are too
expensive to implement, too
bad.
Further, I never dreamed Id
be competing with China in
the dental lab business. Yes,
ask your dentist where that
crown or denture was made!
Demand a made-in-USA guar-
antee.
There are dental lab brokers
who market Chinese services
to dentists. They seemingly
know nothing about how to
construct a dental appliance.
They undercut the local labs
prices, pick up the work from
the dentists office and send it
to China. China does not have
to comply with U.S. regu-
lations. When it comes back,
the broker delivers the fin-
ished product to the dentist.
You pay the same fee for your
prosthetics. When all the local
labs go out of business (or
become brokers themselves),
your broken denture will be
sent to China to be repaired.
Will there be some poisonous
material in it when it comes
back?
Look what NAFTA and
GATT did! The liberals in
power do not want individuals
to be self-sufficient. They want
us all to be beholden to them
while they enjoy political
power.
They have turned to people
into sheeple. The sheeple
bleat for more government
intervention on all levels (wel-
fare, health care, retirement).
Though the country is ripe
for another American Revolu-
tion, there will be none. The
tree of liberty (shall not) be
refreshed with the blood of
tyrants and patriots any time
soon. Prepare to be shackled
and enslaved. You have sacri-
ficed your liberty for a little
security so you deserve nei-
ther. (Thomas Jefferson said
the former, Benjamin Franklin
the latter.)

WHO: John Phillips, local musician
AGE: 31
HOMETOWN: Scranton

John Phillips has loved music from


a young age.
My momused to play the piano for
hours and hours and hours on end
when I was a kid, he said. I used to
sit up in my room and listen to her
play down in the dining room all the
time, which is what hooked me.
Since then, the 31-year-oldScranton
resident has made music, of all kinds,
a major part of his life. Phillips is a bu-
sy guy, bouncing fromrunning the an-
nual Steamtown Original Music
Showcase and his business, MCRPro-
ductions, to playing in two bands:
UUUfor 12 years and OurAfter for six.
As a musician, Phillips knows the
accountability he and his peers have.
As a local musician you have a re-
sponsibility to make your scene bet-
ter, whether you play in a band, pro-
mote bands or are part of any aspect of
the music. Youve got to be the best
you can be and work at developing it.
Phillips has seen many changes to
the scene since he began playing.
Ive watched it collapse, he said,
and this is where the responsibility
aspect comes in. Everybody says Well
the scene isnt doing great, the clubs
arent doing this, radios not doing
that, which is fine, but the fact is that
whenit comes downtoit, theonlyper-
son to blame is yourself.
Phillips said this is why hes gone
on the aggressive, pushing the focus
tolocal andregional acts insteadof na-
tional ones. One such way is through
the Steamtown Original Music Show-
case, now in its seventh year, which
will take place fromAug. 31to Sept. 2.
Local music is just as good, if not
better, than national music, and no-
bodyreallyknows about thesebands,
he said. This is a way to expose new
styles and genres to a lot of people.
The event is being expanded upon
with the Steamtown Music Awards,
which will happen Sept. 1.
Its a waytoget more recognitionfor
local artists, Phillips said. Voting for
bands is a big part of the process, yes,
but there are still going to be rules and
stipulations looked at by a committee.
Phillips hopes that through fun-
draising, as well as money made
through the Steamtown Showcase, he
and his event colleagues can present a
music scholarship to a local high-
school student in the thousands-of-
dollars range.
Phillips refers to his company MCR
Productions, run with his wife, Jennif-
er, as the glue for everything. The
business is made up of several local
professionals and has photographers,
videographers, musicians, event plan-
ners, lighting installers everything
to make a party work.
Were taking themed weddings and
events and making them a reality for
people, Phillips said. We lookat every
aspect of the event andsee what we can
dowithit tomakeit that muchbetter.
He sees music as always being a
part of his life, andhes looking for-
ward to pushing a change.
Its going to be a lot of time
and effort and Ima little scared,
Im a little hesitant, but at the
same time anything thats
worth doing, well, youre going
to give it a shot no matter what.

Lambert felt obligated to vent

that hedidnt apologizefor beating

Edward Sonny Jones of Pittston doesnt
care whether it makes a noise. Hed just like
the wood, please.
Dont burn it. Turn it, is the motto for
Jones, an avid wood-turner who is excited
to have one of his pieces, a vessel he crafted
fromNewZealand red gum wood, chosen
for theArt of theStateexhibit, whichwill be
on display through Sept. 9 at the State Mu-
seum in Harrisburg.
Many more examples of Jones artistry canbe found
at the Arts Seen Gallery on North Main Street in
downtown Pittston. But lest you linger too long ad-
miring his bowls, platters, candlesticks, ink pens and
bottle-stoppers, he quickly points out the work of oth-
er local artists.
I love being here. There are so many talented peo-
I feel validated. The judges were from all across the country,
and Im flattered that I fell within the range of artists who were there.

Brien Keller of Fairview Township is pleased that his photograph
of a dinghy, which he spotted in Rhode Island, is part of the Art of
the State exhibit in Harrisburg.
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
When hes not turning wood,
hes thinking about it, Sonny
Jones said.
ple in this area, he said, spread-
ing his arms to encompass
paintings and drawings, cloth-
ing and jewelry.
Jones also wants to make sure
people know he wasnt the only
Luzerne County artist whose
work was chosen for the state
show.
Stephen Ruch, 19, of Dallas,
contributed an image of a San
Francisco Ferry Station.
He is majoring in education
and minoring in art at Wilkes
University, with an eye toward
becoming a math teacher, and
he drew the ferry freehand in
graphite pencil based on a pic-
ture at Sue Hands Imagery in
Dallas.
The third Luzerne County
artist, Brien Keller, 37, from
FairviewTownship, submitted a
photograph of a vintage dinghy
that a grandfather had crafted
by hand for his grandson in the
late 1800s.
I like single, solitary, inani-
mate objects that stand out just
because theyre beautiful, said
Keller, who noticed the dinghy
in the water off Block Island,
R.I.
Like Jones, Keller is honored
that his work was chosen for the
juried show.
I feel validated. The judges
were from all across the coun-
try, and Im flattered that I fell
within the range of artists who
were there. Lots of them do art
for their day jobs, said Keller,
whose ownday job is ininforma-
tion technology for the medical
field.
The state exhibit includes 129
works of art by 115 artists from
30 counties, museum spokes-
man Howard Pollman said.
They were chosen from 1,836
entries submitted by 680 art-
ists.
After attending the exhibits
opening reception last month,
Jones said, I didnt know there
were so many different kinds of
art.
Jones, too, has a day job, as a
test-kitchen chef for Aramark
Corp.
When hes cooking or baking
at home, he just might use some
of his hand-crafted wood.
What could be more aesthet-
ically pleasing than making an
apple pie with a rolling pin
made from the wood of a local
apple tree? he wrote in his art-
ist statement.
Still, he admits, some of his
creations are more likely to re-
tain their sanded-and-polished
good looks if they arent used
quite so hard.
I tell people, if they want a
bowl to stay nice, they can put
apples in it but not applesauce.
Jones has worked with wood
as diverse as tiger maple, myr-
tle, yellowheart, purpleheart
and yew.
Some of his most satisfying
projects, Jones said, are when
he creates decorative memen-
tos from the wood of a beloved
old tree that had to come
down.
One lady had me make snow-
men for everyone in her family,
he said.

In Ben H. Winters new mystery,
The Last Policeman, a massive aste-
roid named Maia will hit Earth in six
months. The human race is reacting
badly to the lack of a future.
So who cares about a suicide in the
restroom of the local
McDonalds in Con-
cord, N.H.?
Detective Hank Pal-
ace cares. Palace has a
tidy streak in him that
keeps himworking de-
spite the inevitability
of extinction, and
something in this
death doesnt add up here.
What Im really dealing with here is
the fact that all of us will die, Winters
says. How would we behave under
those circumstances behave ethical-
ly, behave morally. What is the way to
behave knowing that our days are limit-
ed?
In the mystery, some have already
killed themselves in mass immolations
or walk off their jobs to fulfill their be-
fore-I-die bucket list or dreamed of es-
caping to non-existent moon colonies.
Unfortunately, our modern world
doesnt run by all by itself. Technology
is breaking down. The cell phone grid
is failing. Only the authorities have gas-
oline for their cars. Even the McDo-
nalds isnt the familiar Golden Arches
we know now.
Many of these, like the one were
now standing in, on Concords Main
Street, have subsequently been trans-
formed into pirate restaurants: owned
and operated by enterprising locals like
my new best friend over there, doing a
bustling business in comfort food and
no need to sweat the franchise fees,
thinks Palace.
Hes been assigned to clean up the
case of Peter Zell, an insurance man
found hanging by an expensive belt
that doesnt belong to him. Delving in-
to Zells life, Palace tracks down family
and friends to find the reason for the
death all the while knowing it really
doesnt matter.
Winters made his mark writing liter-
ary mash-up such as Sense and Sensi-
bility and Sea Monsters Jane Aus-
ten meets Jules Verne and others
and a Tolstoy parody, Android Kareni-
na. He started writing The Last Po-
liceman in February 2011. It is planned
to be a trilogy, the second book being
three months before Maia hits, and the
last on the day of reckoning.
So how does much of humanity cope
in Concord knowing they are doomed?
People in the main are simply mud-
dling along. Got to work, sit at your
desk, hope the company is still around
come Monday. Got to the store, push
the cart, hope theres some food on the
shelves today. Meet your sweetheart
for lunch for ice cream.
What Im dealing with here is the
fact all of us will die, says Winters.
That is the human condition peri-
od. (That is) the one thing that links
every human being to the other. What
Ive simply done in the novel is to accel-
erate the timetable.

In the years since Vinnie
Red Sky LeBlancs father
killed three people in a
drunken driving accident
and got himself banned from
the Bay Mills reservation,
the young Ojibwa tribal
member has never once
picked up a drink.
So Vinnies best friend,
Alex McKnight, is under-
standably
concerned to
learn Vinnie
has been
knocking
back scotch-
es at a local
bar.
The con-
cern turns to alarm when
Vinnie suddenly disappears.
Meanwhile, five bodies are
discovered at a deserted air-
strip nearby, the result of a
drug deal gone bad.
At first, Alex, a former De-
troit cop who moved to Mi-
chigans remote Upper Pen-
insula a few years ago to get
away from trouble like this,
cannot imagine the two mys-
teries are related.
But when Buck, Vinnies
slacker cousin, also goes
missing, Alex suspects Buck
may have somehow drawn
Vinnie into the drug deal.
Soon it becomes clear that
Alex isnt the only one look-
ing for the cousins.
Some big-time drug deal-
ers, convinced that Vinnie
and Buck betrayed them at
the airstrip, are hunting the
pair.
As the story unfolds, Alex
races up and down the
length of Michigan, follow-
ing leads, trying to stay one
step ahead of the drug deal-
ers and trying to convince
suspicious tribal members
that hes really on Vinnies
side.
Soon hes joined by Vin-
nies long-missing father,
who shows up to help with
the search.
Die a Stranger is the
ninth crime novel by Steve
Hamilton, a two-time Edgar
Award winner.
As usual, he creates an en-
semble of strong, believable
characters and spins his sus-
penseful tale in crisp, hard-
boiled prose.
The result is a taut, fast-
paced story with lots of gun-
play and unexpected twists,
along with a poignant sub-
plot about the strained rela-
tionship between father and
son.

M
ichelleObamacanre-
call a time when she
had no idea that to-
matoes didnt come in green
plastic trays, covered by cello-
phane and that they could be
any color other than pale red.
Shes come a long way, and
now she is working to bring
the rest of us with her.
Her efforts to garden on the
White House lawn and to involve
people all over the country in
growingfoodare the subject of her
first book, American Grown.
(All author proceeds go to the Na-
tional Park Foundation.)
Full of pictures of gorgeous gar-
dens and produce, American
Grown tells the story of the White
House kitchen garden. There are
recipes, advice on gardening and
stories of successful community
gardensfromaroundthecountry
as well as alittlehistoryabout grow-
ing food at the White House.
Ground was broken for the cur-
rent garden on March 20, 2009,
and it has become popular with
staff volunteers, school groups
and tourists. Even White House
events have changed: Since we
planted the garden, Ive noticed a
change in what we cook, observ-
es Cris Comerford, the White
House executive chef. No longer
are the meals we serve driven by
the protein on the plate and gar-
nished with a few baby carrots or
other accent vegetables. Vegeta-
bles are now equal partners.
About a third of the harvest is
donated to Miriams Kitchen,
which provides meals for home-
less people.
American Grown has many
warm and fuzzy moments, both in
photos Obama holding just-
picked tomatoes, elementary
school children and first dog Bo
among the plants and in words.
Gardens, the first lady points
out, are good at reminding us of
all we have in common and help-
ing us grow stronger, more con-
nected communities.
Obama also addresses some se-
rious questions about the Amer-
ican diet, noting that millions of
American families are living in
so-called food deserts, communi-
ties without a single grocery store
andnoconvenient access tofresh,
nutritious food.
Obesity-related health problems,
she writes, cost $150 billion a year.
And she offers startling details
about the effect of diet on the mil-
itary, from an interview with Lt.
Gen. Mark Hertling: Not only can
about half the recruits not pass a ba-
sic fitness test, but more than 62
percent of new recruits needs den-
tal care before they can deploy and
many have bone density issues that
make them prone to fractures.
Those problems are the result
of a decades-long change in how
we eat and exercise, Obama
notes, acknowledging that she
too struggled over decisions
about buying the right foods
when she shopped for her family.
In her book, as elsewhere, her
great charmis her ability to seem
like the rest of us.
She recalls a conversation with
the Obamas pediatrician and a de-
cision to improve the familys eat-
ing habits. We started small, emp-
tyingour pantryof unhealthyfoods
and filling our glasses with water
and skim milk instead of sugary
drinks, she writes. We ate at
home more often. We began to add
more vegetables to our meals.
The problems Obama saw as
first lady alarmed her and led to
the Lets Move programand her
campaign against childhood
obesity. Rarely in the history of
this country have we encountered
a problemof such magnitude and
consequence that is so eminently
solvable, she declares.
Her garden the White House
garden is part of the solution: I
hoped this garden would help be-
gin a conversation about the food
we eat, the lives we lead, and how
all of that affects our children.

Los Angeles Times
Australian author Sara Foster
uncovers a rich vein of atmo-
sphere in the North Yorkshire
moors for her intense psycholog-
ical thriller about a womantrying
to rebuild her life after her hus-
band disappears.
A touch of the supernatural
and family ghost tales add to the
already spooky landscape that
blankets Fosters debut. But Fos-
ters dabbling in the occult
doesnt subtract from the realis-
tic fears and down-to-earth prob-
lems explored in Beneath the
Shadows. Foster uses the sub-
genre of the quiet, non-violent
English village mystery to grace-
fully weave in the themes of loss,
grief and abandonment in Be-
neath the Shadows.
Grace and Adam Lockwood
have just moved from London
with Millie, their 10-week-old
daughter, to the remote village of
Rosebywhere he has aninherited
a cottage from his grandparents.
Adam spent a little time in Rose-
by as a teenager after his mother
diedandhe has fondmemories of
Hawthorn Cottage, the village
and the surrounding moors. One
week after the move, Adamtakes
Millie for a walk while Grace con-
tinues to unpack. Afewhours lat-
er, Grace finds Millie inher stroll-
er, unharmed, at their doorstep,
but Adam has disappeared.
A year later, Grace finally finds
the strength to return to Roseby.
She needs to settle matters about
the cottage and try to find out
what happened to Adam, who
has never been found. The police
and many Roseby residents be-
lieve he just left, unable to handle
the responsibilities of father-
hood. Grace becomes friendly
with Meredith Blakeney, a leader
in the tight-knit community, and
handyman named Ben, who
works on the cottage while Grace
sorts through the boxes left by
Adams grandparents, disman-
tling the last traces of their lives.
Family secrets andtales of ghosts
haunt Graces attempts to find
out what happened to her hus-
band.
Foster skillfully uses the vil-
lages isolation and the moors
where the raw, untouched vistas
hadthe power tostopyour mind
as a metaphor for Graces own
isolation. Graces grief influences
each of her actions, and her par-
ents, her sister and an old friend
worry that she may verge on a
mental breakdown. Grace is ob-
sessive about finding out if Adam
left or if something more sinister
happened and the reader em-
pathizes with her emotional
state.
Theabsorbingplot of Beneath
the Shadows shows that a quiet,
non-violent mystery can pack a
lot of punch.

TILLWATER, N.Y.
Ranger Megan Stevens
sets a leisurely pace as
she leads about a dozen
bicyclists along the paved tour
road at Saratoga National Histor-
ical Park, scene of one of historys
most important battles.
About midway up one of the
steeper inclines, it becomes ap-
parent why the Americans made
sure they held the high ground
whenthe redcoats finally showed
up on foot in 1777.
You can see how impressive
the valley is, Stevens said after-
ward about some of the parks
hilltop views of the upper Hud-
son River in Stillwater, 20 miles
north of Albany.
Fromsuchscenic spots she and
other National Park Service rang-
ers regale groups of bicyclists
with stories of the two battles
fought here in September and
October 1777, their outcomes,
and how the Continental Armys
defeat of the worlds best army
led to the eventual American vic-
tory in the Revolutionary War.
The free guided bike tours are
conducted every other Wednes-
day in the summer beginning in
June at the park, also known as
the Saratoga Battlefield.
Other guided bike tours are
scheduled for July 11 and 25, and
Aug. 1, 15 and 29. They begin at 6
p.m. in the parks parking lot and
last until about 8 p.m. Participa-
nts must bring their own bicy-
cles.
The bike tours offer an oppor-
tunity to learn about a battle con-
sidered one of the most signifi-
cant in history, while getting a
not-too-strenuous workout at the
same time. An added bonus:
Plenty of panoramic views along
the 5-mile route, with mountain-
tops in neighboring Vermont and
even some in western Massachu-
setts visible when conditions are
right.
While giving a boiled-down
version of the Saratoga battles is
necessitated by the brevity of the
stops during the bike tours, the
rangers manage to include of
some of behind-the-scenes dra-
ma, such as the personality clash-
es between American Maj. Gen.
HoratioGates andArnold, a Sara-
toga hero who was still three
years away from turning traitor.
You can talk forever about the
battle, but not everyone is inter-
ested in military things, Stevens
said. You connect more on per-
sonal level if you can talk about
the individuals and what they
went through.

wedding anniversary May 9 by
hanging out at their farmin Ok-
lahoma which is what they
did for half their honeymoon.
Im trying to build on this mo-
mentum Im having, and he
doesnt have time to do it with
back-to-back seasons of The
Voice. (The showalready has
begun filming its third season,
expectedto air this fall.)
Not only has Lambert been a
guest mentor on The Voice,
but shes an avid fan who texts
her husband unsolicited advice
during the show.
He probably gets annoyed.
Hehashisphonewithhiminthe

me: How was it? because he
can only hear what he hears in
the building. Im the back-seat
driver, bad.
Lambert knows quite a bit
about TV talent shows. She got
her career break after finishing
third on Nashville Star in
2003. And the shows 2006 win-
ner, Chris Young, is opening for
her current OnFire Tour.
Despite the moniker, the tour
does not include pyrotechnics
nothing like the giant ring of
fire in which she performed
Kerosene, her first hit, at the
2005 Country Music Associ-
ationAwards.
I figure Im fiery enough on
my own, she said.
Lambert made her markwith
feisty he-done-me-wrong songs
such as Kerosene (Hes out
there holding on to someone/
Im holding up my smoking
gun) and Crazy Ex-Girl-
friend. She grewup in Linden,
Texas, where her parents were
private investigators, often
working with women who were
abusedor cheatedon.

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

of the tan vinyl ooring and an oak vanity topped by a
cream cultured marble sink
Just off the kitchen, a side entry door opens to the at-
tached, two-car garage; a second door takes you to the
basement. The basement has an extra set of blocks in
the foundation so to provide a higher ceiling should the

Upstairs, an octagon accent window provides extra
light in the hall.
The nearby master bedroom measures 14-by-10 and
offers brown wall-to-wall carpeting, white walls and
windows both side and rear, one with an air condition-
ing unit.
A large double closet has bi-fold doors. An oak vanity
can be found in the adjacent master bath that comes
complete with a cream cultured marble sink and walk-
in shower. A single window faces rear.
Bedrooms two, three and four range in size from
10-by-11 to 11-by-16 with large windows, plentiful closet
space and wall-to-wall carpeting.
Extra storage is found in a hall linen closet near to
the full bath. Here you nd an oak vanity with cream
cultured marble sink and a one-piece tub and shower
surround.
There is pull-down access to attic storage.
This home has gas, hot water baseboard heat, public
sewer and water utilities and a number of window air
conditioning units.
